It must be hard
for you and Danielle,

because if we get
all the best jobs now,

how are you ever
going to overtake us?

What are we gonna do?

Do we hang out here,
sniffing each other's ass fumes?

Or do we work together,
hunt her down, crush her?

You guys scheme your
evil schemes.

Just don't get me involved.

Pia wanked off her boyfriend
into the first-floor cafetière.

What?

This intel is dead
unless we spread it.

Did you see interviews
next week?

I know you're up for it, too.

To be honest, Caroline,

it seems you have a real
likability problem.

I'm a criminal barrister,

not some reporter
from "The One Show."

Selina and I kissed.

I love Nessa.
I love my girlfriend.

I probably should've
stopped earlier,

but given the circumstances,
I think I did pretty well.

You're not being honest with
your girlfriend, are you?

Okay, so,

you stand behind
these women on escalators,

and you get your scissors out.

Yes, mm.
Exactly, that's right.

Then you cut their dresses
while they're not looking.

Yes.
Just at the nape here.

Three snips
for a perfect square.

- I did this one on the way here.
- Oh, look at that.

Here's a bail violation
I did earlier.

Caroline, can I please...?

Uh, Ronald, the thing is,
the police are saying

that this is a sexual assault.

Right.

I mean, it isn't such
a bad thing, is it?

They want to put me
on some, mm, register.

Don't worry, Caroline's
done loads of sexual offenses.

The solicitor actually thinks
it's good for a sex offender

to be represented
by a female barrister,

like she believes him.

Ronald, the thing is,
in order for this

to be a sexual offense,
it would have to be done

with the intent
of sexual gratification.

Oh, good, because I don't
intend to do it that way.

- I don't intend to do it at all.
- How do you mean?

Well, it's compulsive,
isn't it?

You do something once,
and that pleases you somehow,

and so you do it again.

And soon, you just
find yourself doing it.

You just find yourself

wielding a pair of scissors
on an escalator?

Yes. You're just there,
doing a crime.

[ Chuckles ]
Young man, you'll learn.

The spirit is willing,
but the flesh--

mm, the flesh
will fucking drop you in it.

Okay, Ronald, we'll see you
in court tomorrow.

And, um, dress nicely.

- Proper trousers.
- What's wrong with these?

Caroline thinks only perverts
wear 3/4-length trousers.

Well, that's silly.
I adore the air on my ankles.

♪ Spent a week
in a dusty library ♪

♪ Waiting for some words
to jump at me ♪

♪ We met by a trick of fate ♪

♪ French navy, my sailor mate ♪

Are you eating that?

No. It's just spit
and margarine.

I'm hungry.

Feel like I should call
a social worker.

Or hold a sponsored swim.

[ Gasps ] Jumanji.

Oh, God.
How long have I been out?

I know I did the disclosure
application for Martin

and the witness summons
for Christina.

Right, okay.

- You're a bit smudged.
- Right, okay.

- Brrrr!
- She's doing work for Martin.

I almost outrank Martin.

No one big in Chambers
will look at her.

I still can't work out how the
whole cafetière thing got out.

Yeah.
It's hard to say, isn't it?

I guess things like that
just do.

Big gossip.
People talking.

Where's my pen?

Evening, homies.

Everyone coming to the Young Bar
Society party tomorrow?

I'm gonna be saying a few
unkind words

on the subject of Weatheridge's
legal-aid reforms.

No doubt Danielle has fed you
the advance beef.

- Strike action.
- It's inspiring, Ashley.

I was saying to Will just now,

it's a shame the miners
didn't have you in the '90s.

Well, '80s.
I mean, I was just a kid.

Yeah, I'm just saying,
if you'd have been there,

we'd have a shitload more coal,

and Northern people
would still be respected.

Wow.

Will, you've got my coat.

Caroline, will I be
seeing you tomorrow night?

No.
I don't know why you bother.

Isn't it just some
desperate ploy

to convince the QC committee
that you're a leader of men?

Be sensible, Caroline.

The Weatheridge Report's
legal-aid reforms

are a very serious matter.

And if my leadership role
helps my case for Silk,

then that is a pleasant
side effect

of a righteous cause.

Yes, well, I'm not coming.

And if I'm pissed as a newt
watching "Bake Off"

at 9:00 p.m., that will be
a pleasant side effect

of not giving an ass.

Poor Caroline.

Doesn't get out much
since the divorce.

- Caroline's divorced?
- Yeah.

Six months.

She never mentioned that.

I've been spending all day
with her for months.

Caroline's the private sort.

Anyway, see you tomorrow.
It'll be brutal politics.

I guarantee it.

Oh, shit.

Danielle, why has the venue
just canceled?

Did you put the deposit down
to guarantee it?

Oh, fuck.

Um, find me another venue, please?

Somewhere cool.

Yeah, yeah, no problem.

- [ Chuckles ]
- Do it for me.

- Yeah, right.
- Please.

- Fuck off.
- Shit!

I haven't got time
to dick around with...

- I've got to do this.
- Pia.

Any chance you've got time
to do a job for Ashley?

Mm-hmm.

♪

Can't believe
Caroline's divorced.

I mean, I guess
it explains a lot.

The coldness.
The shut-offness.

Literally everyone over 35
is divorced.

That's not true.

- My parents aren't divorced.
- Right.

- What is that?
- No, nothing.

Something just clicked
into place there.

Do you know
what I mean, though?

I've always been a bit scared
of Caroline.

But it's like with wild animals,
isn't it?

- They're scared of you, too.
- Insightful.

Just got to know
how to handle them.

Shit, I'm out of battery.

Can I use yours to send an
e-mail to my phone, please?

- Um, yeah.
- Okay.

Oh! [ Laughs ]

What's that?

- Can you give it back, please?
- Stalking.

- Please, can you-- Please!
- Stalky, stalky stalker!

Not a stalker.
It looks like that.

But actually,
I'm visiting that page

because I'm interested in art.

- You're interested in art?
- Yes.

- You are, are you?
- Yes.

Who's your favorite artist?

Banksy.

- Banksy.
- What? It is.

I love Banksy.

♪

- Of course it's sexual.
- Oh, come on, Miles.

He's cutting out fabric.

What's he gonna do,
make a really raunchy quilt?

Caroline, my kids
are all under six

and have minds as pure
as San Pellegrino.

But even they'd know that a chap
doesn't hack at 500 dresses

unless it gives him a boner.

Got an expert.

- Dr. Khaled.
- Hey, Miles.

- How's tricks?
- Yes.

And what does Dr. Khaled say?

We don't know yet,
we only called him--

- Shut up, Will.
- Sorry, yeah.

He'll say it's compulsive
behavior with no sexual element.

Really?

Because the only compulsive
behavior I'm seeing is, um,

oh, Little Miss Winnypants here.

- Don't call me that.
- Well, it's understandable.

- I am a bit better.
- Wouldn't say you were better.

Smugger, maybe.

Clinging harder to your
fading youth, perhaps.

[ Chuckles ]

You know, Caroline
was my pupil once.

Oh, right.

There's Dr. Khaled.

You never mentioned that Miles
was your pupil master.

Not proud of it.

Look at him, swaggering around
like David Davis after a wank.

Why'd you never mention it?

Bet there's loads of interesting
things you've never mentioned.

Will, here's Dr. Khaled,
our expert witness.

Hello.
I'm sorry I'm late.

So, the defense is that
the dress-cutting

is a habitual thing
with no sexual intent.

[ Scoffs ] Right. That's what
they're going with, is it?

Oh, that's ridiculous.

We're the defendant.

Oh, shit.
Okay, that's interesting.

Um, yeah, no,
that happens all the time.

That's entirely possible.

You just said
it was ridiculous.

It is, it is ridiculous.

But it's entirely possible.
[ Chuckles ]

Oh come on, we're talking
about the human mind here.

It's a multi-modal
contradictory mystery.

Try spinning 'round
and saying that three times.

I've got another case
tomorrow morning.

Can you get me on before then?

- Yes, I reckon.
- Oh, good.

I've got to get ready.

So, uh, what's the case
about tomorrow?

Oh, I don't know.
I haven't looked at it yet.

I'm saying she's guilty,

but I just haven't
filled in the details.

Now, you might think
that the Young Barristers

of the London-Central Circuit

have nothing better
to do than party,

and normally you'd be right.

- Big laughter.
- [ Chuckles ]

But we've gone over
Lord Weatheridge's proposals,

and, to quote Shawn Carter,
otherwise known as Jay-Z,

"It's got 99 problems."

- At least.
- Yeah.

Which is why, not content
with a retort to the report,

we're gonna bust a new rhyme--

it's time to
withdraw for the law.

Big graphic comes up.

Boom!
Sound effect.

And yes, I do mean
strike action.

I'm not overplaying that, am I?

Overplaying what?

That's exactly the answer
I was looking for.

So, is everything okay
for the party?

The new venue, it's edge?

Very edge.

It's all sorted.
[ Chuckles ]

Bloody well done.
Such short notice.

- Couldn't do it without you.
- Yeah. [ Laughs ]

"He didn't mean to."

- Is that honestly our defense?
- Maybe he didn't mean to.

What do you mean to do?

Things happen, you respond
naturally or you don't.

Does a drug addict
mean to get high,

or an angry man
mean to lash out?

Did I mean to run out
of underwear this morning?

No.
Sometimes shit just happens.

People shouldn't be
so judgmental.

Yeah, but by that thinking,
no one would be guilty

of anything, ever, and there'd
be no such thing as crime.

Yeah, you're right.
I was just riffing.

Members of the jury,
in this case,

I'm going to ask you to apply
your knowledge of the world.

I don't think any of us were
born yesterday,

but if you were,
happy birthday!

[ Scattered laughter ]

This is what
we psychiatrists call

"unusual and unprecedented
compulsion."

And where could
this compulsion come from?

I don't know.

Uh, his mother,
his upbringing.

Could be literally anything.
You name it.

Thank you.

♪

Could the compulsion be sexual?

No.

No.

- Why not?
- Um...

Just seems really unlikely,
I think.

In my professional opinion,
I'd say.

♪

Do you think Miles was
a bit soft on Dr. Khaled?

He's weakened lately.

Fatherhood, probably.

So, Ashley mentioned that
you got divorced recently.

That is true.

Do you think maybe
you want to talk about it?

What the fuck is this?

No. It's just, I realize
that we don't really

know that much about each other,
and isn't that weird?

I mean, we spend an awful lot
of time together.

Oh, my God,
you're in love with me.

Sorry?

I don't blame you.
It was bound to happen.

All I mean is,
it might be nice

for us to get to know
each other a bit.

go bowling.

Yeah, no, take it.
Obviously, take it.

It's Fiona.

Oh, yeah.
What do you want?

- You're going, aren't you?
- No, wasn't planning on going.

- Why?
- Caroline, we spoke about this.

It's important
to seem like you care

a little about the wider Bar.

Go to the party.

I want you to meet Toni Markham

Dangerously off-message.

Ashley, you really
are fantastically brave.

Brave? [Laughs]

- I mean, what's "brave"?
- No, really.

I mean, this could have a huge
effect on your chances for Silk.

Now, Toni, that's
neither here nor there.

This is about principle,

not about the positive
or negative effects

on one guy's Silk application.

Of course, yeah, because
the effects will be negative.

Uh, negative?

Y-You-- You think
they'll be negative?

Absolutely.
It's a total disgrace

that Weatheridge is
on the selection panel.

Lord Weatheridge is on

Oh, I did.

I was in business for a while.

So I actually ran
a popcorn startup.

- Popcorn?
- Yeah, you know the snack food.

Yes, I have heard of popcorn.

Yeah, it was really going

There was Big Tom--

Mr. Frobisher, um, for clarity,

I'm going to take you through
the process of this compulsion.

Is that okay?

Of course.

You see a woman wearing a
dress you like on the Tube, yes?

That's correct.

You follow her
on the down escalator.

Her neck is at your chest
or stomach level.

Yes.
That-- That's right.

Slowly, you reach into your bag
to retrieve your scissors.

They're cold.

Smooth.

flutters slightly

in the almost imperceptible
breeze of the Tube.

- God, he's lost it.
- You raise the scissors.

And you cut.

Snip...

in your fingers, and then--

only then-- you pocket it.
