00:00You mean to tell me we can't make a living defending the people who need it most?
00:04You remember David Croughton from uni?
00:06He's now at Barrett and Warnock. He wants to meet.
00:09Bryford's. Again.
00:11He asked to see what was inside my pants.
00:14Miriam's security guard has some previous for indecent exposure.
00:19You have diabetes.
00:21Time two.
00:22You told Eli?
00:23No, I'm going to leave that for you to do.
00:26DCI crate?
00:28Pierre Jeffries.
00:29Nice to meet you.
00:30I've been warned about you.
00:32It's the third time that guy's even stopped me in the street or pulled me over driving.
00:35Same arresting officer.
00:36PC Tanner.
00:37I've got truth on my side and truth trumps everything.
00:40Every time.
00:41You were harassing him and his friends.
00:43You were barking up the wrong tree.
00:44I swear you and I were on the same side.
00:47With a maximum score of 100 for hustling proud black youth.
00:52PC Mark Tanner.
00:53Chantel said he recorded loads.
00:55There's some stuff on there that he didn't put anywhere on his socials.
00:58This is the guy.
01:00This is the guy.
01:00PC Mark Tanner.
01:11You want me to hide?
01:13Oh, it's just work.
01:15Very nice.
01:16Do what the doctor ordered a nut.
01:18It's not a prison sentence, Pierre.
01:20It's just eating everything in moderation.
01:22I know, it's good.
01:25One of my lecturers at uni managed to reverse her diabetes.
01:28Lost about 20 pounds in three months.
01:30Looks fit.
01:31She is stacked.
01:33Oh, excuse me.
01:36Sorry.
01:37Inappropriate.
01:37Sorry, Mum.
01:38You told him then.
01:39Well, I'd still be waiting on you to do it, wouldn't I?
01:43Speaking of uni.
01:44No, Dad.
01:44I'm not going back.
01:49The man in the video with Tanner.
01:52This.
01:54This white guy.
01:56Have you ever seen him before?
01:58Michael saw him with Tanner.
02:00He followed him a few times just to figure out what he's about.
02:03Followed him?
02:04Where?
02:05I don't know.
02:06Michael followed him.
02:07See for yourself.
02:08I did.
02:09And he didn't.
02:11Honestly, Chantelle, I watched the whole thing.
02:12Michael always forgot to turn the camera off on his phone, right?
02:15He says he's signed off and then he puts the phone back in his pocket
02:18and then the screen goes black.
02:19And then he only realises what he's done when he wants to start filming again.
02:22The stupid twat.
02:23Just...
02:23Please, just look.
02:27I know you miss him.
02:30Just wait a minute at the end, yeah?
02:32Sure.
02:33Sure.
02:41Later, guys.
02:42It's Em signing off.
03:09Oh, shit.
03:16I didn't think you'd be back so soon, Pierre.
03:20Thanks, two of us.
03:22So what gives?
03:24I, uh...
03:25I need a name from you, Sean.
03:29White guy.
03:30With the copper.
03:32Why him?
03:33Well, because I know the copper's name already,
03:35but now I want to know the name of the bloke who's with him.
03:38And, uh...
03:39Seeing as though he's a customer of you, Sean,
03:41I thought you might be in a position to help.
03:46Jason Granger.
03:49That was quick.
03:50And that's all you're going to get.
03:52You want more?
03:54It'll cost you.
03:56Yeah.
04:06How many people were there in your house?
04:09About 40.
04:10Yeah, the police said it was more like 100.
04:13It was just supposed to be, like, a few friends.
04:15She was celebrating getting her place at medical school.
04:18Well done.
04:20Um, but it got into message groups
04:23and then people invited people and...
04:25Yeah, neighbours complained about the noise.
04:27Kids were in the garden, some of them urinating.
04:29And some of my hydrangeas...
04:31Is it OK if we just hear from Bella?
04:35Absolutely.
04:36Um, Bella, you talk.
04:38I'd bought some...
04:41some pills.
04:43What kind?
04:46Ecstasy.
04:46Yeah, off another girl.
04:48We need to find her.
04:49Mr Murray.
04:49Yeah, you need to tell them her name.
04:51I don't know her name, Dad.
04:52Just tell them her name.
04:52Could I just...
04:55hear from your daughter, please?
04:59Bella.
05:00My friends, we'd...
05:01we'd never done it before.
05:04And...
05:04we're about to take them.
05:06And the doorbell rings.
05:08Suddenly I could hear people shouting
05:10and coming up the stairs,
05:12and so I panic,
05:13and I just flush the pills down the loo,
05:15and then the police came in
05:17and that's when they arrested me.
05:19You took the caution?
05:20Yeah, well, Dad told me to.
05:22I thought it was best to just get it over with.
05:23And the police are saying
05:24because I have a caution,
05:25the school may be forced to withdraw my offer.
05:27I mean, how was I supposed to know
05:29that was going to happen?
05:30I mean, I'm not a mind reader.
05:31With respect, Mr Murray,
05:32you're also not a lawyer,
05:33yet you still saw fit
05:34to give your daughter legal advice.
05:39Had you taken any of these pills?
05:42No.
05:42No, we didn't get a chance.
05:44You see,
05:45you tested negative for any illegal substances,
05:48and you say you flushed it,
05:49and the police didn't recover any.
05:51And according to the paperwork,
05:52that seems to be the case.
05:53Then there was never any actual evidence
05:55that any drugs were brought onto the premises.
05:57But I did.
05:58Yes, but the law isn't interested in that.
06:00Will I still be able to be a doctor?
06:03Yes, you will.
06:05Well, won't she, Mr Jeffries?
06:08We shall certainly try, Bella.
06:13Really appreciate you guys coming in.
06:15I'll have an answer for you
06:16as soon as I can, Bella, okay?
06:18Thanks very much.
06:23My worst kind of client.
06:25She's not so bad.
06:27Not her.
06:27Him.
06:28Absolute control freak.
06:29Listen, he's just a dad
06:30looking out for his kid's future.
06:32More like the future he wants her to have.
06:34At least he's paying privately.
06:35Case seems simple enough.
06:36Danny, it's the simple cases
06:37that normally give you
06:38the biggest pain in the arse.
06:40Trust me.
06:42Oh, I forgot to mention.
06:44How goes it with Miriam?
06:47Something about the security guard
06:48that assaulted her having
06:49a previous conviction
06:50for indecent exposure.
06:52Right, yeah, yeah.
06:52I was just, I was
06:53going to talk to you about that.
06:54Go on.
06:54I was just trying to find
06:56the right moment to...
06:56Now's as good a moment
06:57as any done.
06:58Good.
06:58Just don't hate me, yeah?
07:01Spit it out, then.
07:03I did speak to the
07:04supermarket's lawyers.
07:05Yes, and?
07:06And I may have been
07:08a little unsuccessful
07:08in getting them to
07:09withdraw the complaint
07:10against Miriam.
07:11You mean you fucked up?
07:13That's not how I'll put it.
07:14It turns out the security guard
07:15wasn't convicted.
07:17The woman he flashed
07:18his dick out to
07:18withdrew the complaint, so...
07:23Put that tea down.
07:24Let's go.
07:25Come on, let's go.
07:28Look, I wanted to fire him,
07:29but head officer
07:30went over my head.
07:31Every one of the stores
07:32is understaffed now.
07:33He told her to suck his cock.
07:35Please.
07:35He said he would let her go
07:36say no more about it
07:37if she followed him
07:38into the store room.
07:39Now look, this goes to court.
07:40We might win,
07:40we might lose.
07:41Who knows?
07:42Thing is,
07:43the supermarket's name's
07:44bound to get dragged into this.
07:45They might be looking
07:46for a scapegoat.
07:47It could be you, my friend.
07:49That's all I'm saying.
07:49All right, all right.
07:50I will speak to them.
07:51But the truth is,
07:52head office are getting
07:53bored with this anyway.
07:54They don't want this
07:54to go to court
07:55any more than you do.
07:56I'm sure they can
07:57persuade him
07:57to withdraw the complaint.
07:59I assume that's
08:00what you're here for.
08:00What, us?
08:02I don't know
08:02what you're talking about, mate.
08:04Just here buying some crisps.
08:05But she doesn't
08:06come back here ever.
08:07You make that clear to her
08:08and we say no more
08:09about this.
08:13Pressure, Dan.
08:14Pressure.
08:14Nice work.
08:15Come on.
08:16Let's fill me in.
08:17He will do it again, you know.
08:20Men like him,
08:21they don't know
08:22how to stop.
08:26We're not going to get
08:27a conviction, Miriam.
08:29This is probably
08:31the best I can do.
08:32I'm sorry.
08:33I'm not a fool, Pierre.
08:36If young girls
08:37have a hard time
08:38trying to prove
08:39that they've been
08:40assaulted,
08:41then what chance
08:42does a crazy old
08:44cold like me have?
08:45You're not crazy, Miriam.
08:48Just very special.
09:25What's going on,
09:27where's your mum?
09:27Why can't you answer
09:28your phone, man?
09:29Excuse me?
09:30Grandad's ill.
09:31Yeah, I know that.
09:32Yeah, well, he's had
09:32another stroke.
09:33He was rushed to the
09:34hospital.
09:34Did you know that?
09:35How about you just
09:36lower that tone of voice
09:37when you speak to me?
09:38Oh, my dear.
09:38Oi, oi, oi, oi,
09:39where are you going?
09:40Take a wild guess.
09:42Hey, listen, listen,
09:43listen, I'm not having
09:43this, you know.
09:59How are you doing?
10:02Oh, so what can I do for you
10:03this time of the morning,
10:04David?
10:05Straight to the point.
10:06I always like that about you.
10:08Well, as I said on the phone,
10:09I've got this huge fraud case
10:11that I have to deal with
10:12at the Crown Court,
10:13and there's a potential
10:14conflict, so I need that
10:15handled by someone
10:16with a safe pair of hands,
10:18and, you know,
10:19there's other cases
10:20we have to send away
10:21from time to time.
10:22Right.
10:23I've already spoken
10:24to my immediate boss,
10:25Charles, about you.
10:26Hope you don't mind.
10:28No.
10:29Yeah, I gave him
10:29the hard sell,
10:30and he wants to meet.
10:32Okay.
10:33I thought of you
10:34straight away.
10:36Nobody dealt with cases
10:38of fraud better than you
10:39did when we were at Trinders.
10:40You were the best.
10:41You were.
10:42You know you'd be
10:42a senior partner there
10:44by now if you hadn't just...
10:45Hadn't decided to quit
10:46in order to be at some
10:47shitty West London practice
10:49with that loser Pierre.
10:50I wasn't going to say that.
10:51I didn't even think that.
10:53You thought it as well
10:54as said it the day
10:55I left, remember?
10:56Shit.
10:58You never let me
10:59get away with anything.
11:01I've missed that.
11:06Don't.
11:07I'm just saying
11:09it's great to see you.
11:10It's been a while.
11:12Takes me back to university.
11:14Lots of...
11:16memories.
11:19Really, really old memories.
11:21Let's just leave him there,
11:23shall we?
11:25Fair enough.
11:26Okay.
11:27When does he want to meet?
11:31Well...
11:38What have you been eating?
11:39Just a burger
11:40on the way back.
11:41Blood sugar levels
11:42must be off the charts already.
11:43Look, Charlotte,
11:44I know your vex
11:45about Miriam, okay?
11:46Proper cases,
11:47proper money.
11:49Miriam is neither.
11:49That's all I'm saying.
11:50Miriam is the reason
11:51we do this.
11:52I, for one,
11:53I'm glad we took
11:53that security guard down.
11:55Respect!
11:56Yes, Danny.
11:57Yeah, very good,
11:59Batman and Robin.
12:00But you can't do everything.
12:01I know that.
12:03Good.
12:03Danny?
12:04Oh, here we go.
12:06The student thing,
12:07do you think that you can manage?
12:08I can do that one.
12:09Well, so can I.
12:10Is this the shape
12:10of things to come?
12:12Well, it depends on you,
12:13doesn't it?
12:14David came through.
12:17Barrett and Warnock,
12:18they definitely want to see us
12:19to look after a couple
12:20of conflict clients
12:21they've got in a big fraud case.
12:22They're coming in on Thursday.
12:24Barrett and Warnock
12:25want to see us?
12:26Good shooting.
12:26Thank you, Danny.
12:28Bless you, Alicia.
12:29You see it there, Pierre?
12:30Look, I just need you
12:31back on things.
12:32I am on things.
12:34All right, so no more Miriam,
12:35no more Michael.
12:37No more.
12:41How many briefs?
12:42Shh, keep me down.
12:44Look, just do a quick phone around.
12:45All the firms in the manor.
12:46I just need to know
12:47about Jason Granger.
12:49Any kind of steer.
12:50Any convictions,
12:51drug offences,
12:52somebody must have
12:53represented him at some point.
12:55Okay.
12:55Come on, chop chop.
12:57Yep, sorry.
13:01You're not supposed
13:02to be having that.
13:03Just testing,
13:04seeing if you're
13:04looking out for me.
13:06Yeah, always.
13:09Where are you going?
13:11I'm just going to work
13:12this from another angle.
13:31You know, I wouldn't.
13:32I don't know if you don't
13:33want to get arrested.
13:34Um, any chance
13:35you could sign me in?
13:36You have an appointment
13:37with someone.
13:38Would you believe me
13:39if I told you
13:39I was a solicitor?
13:44You're very trusting.
13:46You come to hear your mate
13:47speak in the assembly hall?
13:50Uh, yeah.
13:52Sorry, do I know you?
13:53You don't remember me,
13:54but we went to the same school.
13:55You were two years above me.
13:57Solomon Crosby.
14:00Eddie's little brother.
14:01Yes, yes, yes.
14:07Uh, you signed for Spurs, right?
14:09You were good.
14:10I was very good.
14:11I know the money
14:12in 12 months later.
14:13Now I'm here.
14:14This is the assembly hall.
14:16You best hurry.
14:17Bell for lunch goes in 10.
14:19Be a good guy.
14:25That the police force
14:26is as upset as you are
14:28about what has happened
14:29and we will do
14:31everything we can
14:32to rectify this situation.
14:35Guys, listen, guys.
14:37I'm well aware
14:39that at the moment
14:40the police are not
14:41your favourite people.
14:42Not everyone's favourite people.
14:44The police are
14:45institutionally racist.
14:48That is fact.
14:50The police do not
14:51like black people.
14:52The police do not
14:53like women.
14:54Can we all
14:55just calm down, please?
14:57Are you ever
14:58going to find
14:59Michael's killer?
15:00Or do you not
15:00care enough about that?
15:01I'm not working
15:02on that case, all right?
15:03But I'm here
15:03to assure you.
15:05I'm not going to sit here
15:06and listen to this
15:07bullshit, miss.
15:08That's enough.
15:09Not till there's justice
15:10for Michael, right?
15:11Here we go.
15:12Defund the police.
15:13Defund the police.
15:15Defund the police.
15:17Defund the police.
15:18Defund the police.
15:19Defund the police.
15:20Everyone.
15:21Defund the police.
15:22Defund the police.
15:23Everyone.
15:24Defund the police.
15:25Defund the police.
15:25Defund the police.
15:26I'd like to apologise
15:27and we will be
15:28speaking with Chantel
15:29regardless of the
15:31rights and wrongs
15:31because that is
15:32not the standard
15:32of behaviour
15:33we expect
15:34from our students.
15:34It would actually
15:35probably be better
15:36if you didn't
15:36sanction the students
15:37for this.
15:38And you are?
15:39He's a friend
15:39and he's right.
15:41The students
15:42are clearly still
15:43raw over my call.
15:44We all are.
15:46He was a good kid.
15:47So you don't believe
15:48that he sold drugs?
15:49Not for one moment.
15:51This was worth a try
15:53but we need to
15:54bridge the gaps
15:54otherwise this will
15:55go on and on.
15:56No, you're right.
15:58Thank you for coming.
16:00Next time I say
16:01I'll do a favour
16:02for a colleague
16:03shoot me in the face
16:03with you.
16:05Defund us.
16:06Defund us.
16:08Let's see what happens
16:09when a psycho
16:10with a knife
16:10breaks into their
16:11place, eh?
16:12Let's see who's
16:13chatting about
16:13defunding men.
16:15I don't see you
16:16had such a good time.
16:18Why are you even here?
16:19Well, I called your office
16:20and the answer
16:21to my question is
16:23I've got something
16:24I want to talk to you about.
16:29Well?
16:31I've told you
16:32Tannis clean.
16:32And what's he doing
16:33giving this geezer money?
16:34I don't know.
16:35I don't even know
16:36who that geezer is,
16:37do you?
16:38Jason Granger.
16:39And I definitely
16:40don't want to know
16:41who might have
16:41given you that name.
16:42Yeah, because you're smart.
16:43Take that to Craig.
16:44It's her investigation.
16:45Leave me out of it.
16:48I'm not done yet.
16:50You're trying to give me
16:50a heart attack, eh?
16:52You're trying to end
16:52my career as well
16:53as your own.
16:54Get yourself struck off.
16:55Listen, you are withholding
16:57possible evidence
16:57in a murder investigation.
16:58A murder investigation.
17:00So you do think
17:00there's something going on?
17:01I'm not thinking anything.
17:03Look, what if Michael
17:04stumbled onto something?
17:05Stop fucking around,
17:06Pierre, alright?
17:07This is Craig's case.
17:08Let her deal with it.
17:09I want to spend
17:10what little time
17:11I have left in this job
17:12in peace.
17:13You understand?
17:13Say that again.
17:14You heard.
17:15Yeah, but I didn't think
17:16you were being that serious.
17:17Well, I was.
17:18Alright?
17:19And so should you
17:20if you've got any sense.
17:22What?
17:22Me?
17:22Retire?
17:24Listen, mate.
17:25There's no pension
17:25in my line of work, Ron.
17:27I've still got it going on.
17:29I'm still needed here.
17:30By who?
17:32By who?
17:32By him, Ron.
17:34By him.
17:37Why are you letting
17:38this kid get under
17:39your skin?
17:40Why?
17:41Because before
17:42I met him, yeah?
17:44Everything that was
17:44going on in my life, Ron,
17:45everything that was
17:46going on in my life
17:47was the best
17:47it was ever going to be.
17:48The best I was
17:49ever going to feel.
17:50Yeah.
17:51And?
17:52And it weren't
17:53all that, Ron.
17:54Okay?
17:58Weren't all that.
18:00Bloody stale,
18:01tell you the truth.
18:03Stale?
18:04Well,
18:05don't let
18:06see an Eli
18:06here say that.
18:08You think
18:08your life
18:09is stale?
18:10The kid's
18:11got to be one.
18:11That's all I can say.
18:14Buy a leather jacket.
18:15Get your ass
18:16on a Harley.
18:16Do anything.
18:17Don't do this.
18:18I have to.
18:20I have to.
18:23Play by the rules
18:24for once.
18:26What, like the good
18:27old reliable police?
18:32You listen to me.
18:35You get over
18:36your midlife crisis.
18:37You give that
18:37to Craig
18:38and you watch
18:39your ass, brother.
18:40You watch your ass
18:42and keep out of this.
18:47What's got you
18:48so spooked, Ron?
18:51Hey!
19:03So,
19:04is Pierre busy now?
19:06Something like that,
19:07Mr Murray.
19:09Now,
19:10Ella,
19:10we have various options.
19:12We can make a complaint
19:13to the Police
19:14Internal Affairs Department,
19:15but that may take
19:16a long time
19:16and may be unsuccessful.
19:18We can make
19:19an application
19:19directly to ACRO,
19:21the Criminal Records Office,
19:22and if that doesn't work,
19:23we can always take
19:24things to court.
19:25Now,
19:25I know all of this
19:26takes time,
19:27so the course
19:28that I would recommend
19:29would be to make
19:29an appeal
19:30directly to the university.
19:32You with me?
19:34Bella,
19:34would you mind
19:35popping out
19:36and getting us
19:37another cup of coffee
19:39each, please?
19:40There you are, darling.
19:50How old are you, son?
19:51I am old enough
19:53to do whatever I can
19:54for Bella, Mr Murray.
19:55No, what I meant was...
19:56No, I know what you meant.
19:58Look, I'm sorry.
19:59This is really important
20:01to Bella.
20:02Ever since she was small,
20:04she's wanted to be a doctor.
20:05We're going to do
20:06everything in our power
20:07to make that happen.
20:09You should know
20:10the police have spoken to me.
20:13I see.
20:14It's not Bella
20:15they want.
20:16It's her supplier.
20:18And you think
20:19it would be favourable
20:20for Bella
20:21to name this person?
20:25I understand
20:26your concerns,
20:28Mr Murray.
20:29But let's just see
20:30how we get on
20:30with the university
20:31first.
20:32Yeah?
20:54What do you want, man?
21:01Following her?
21:02Stalking, more like.
21:05Police?
21:05I don't know.
21:07Just two white men
21:08inside a car.
21:10BMW, she thinks,
21:11and it didn't feel right.
21:12It certainly isn't.
21:15Could be an unmarked car.
21:17And then there's me.
21:19You've been followed too?
21:20I've been pulled over
21:21and they were the police
21:22three times this week.
21:24They asked for my
21:25driver's licence each time
21:26and then let me go.
21:28You sure you weren't speeding?
21:30Never in my life
21:31have I been pulled over
21:32by the police.
21:33Until now.
21:35Something going on, Pierre.
21:38Anything to do with
21:39that policeman, Tanner?
21:41Look, I wish I could say
21:43no to that question,
21:44but...
21:46I'll find out what's going on.
21:47But in the meantime,
21:48be careful, please, Brenda.
21:50Why do I need to be careful?
21:51Please, just...
21:53Just be careful.
21:58Sorry.
22:00I've got to go.
22:07How about a start
22:08on your head, Pierre?
22:10You're back so soon, Bella.
22:12I just wanted to say
22:13how sorry I am.
22:15Sorry?
22:16Yeah, about my dad,
22:17about the way
22:17he spoke to you earlier.
22:19Oh, don't worry.
22:20It's not a problem.
22:21Don't worry about it.
22:22He means well.
22:23He always does.
22:26But...
22:26It's just me and him now,
22:28since my mum died.
22:30Ah.
22:32I'm...
22:32I'm sorry to hear that.
22:36Was there anything else?
22:40Bella?
22:41You can talk to me.
22:45I need your help.
22:46Wait, your advice, really.
22:48Oh, of course.
22:49How can I help you?
22:51The one I...
22:53got the drugs from.
22:56She wasn't...
22:57a dealer or supplier
22:59or anything like that.
23:02She's a mate of mine.
23:05She's my best friend.
23:09I assume that's the reason
23:10why you've not told the police.
23:12Fran comes from a rough estate
23:14and...
23:15I mean, she's working her arse off
23:16to pay for uni next year.
23:18Right?
23:18She's got two jobs,
23:19day and night.
23:20It doesn't amount
23:20to a legal defence, Bella.
23:22I made a mistake.
23:23Right?
23:24We both did.
23:26I assume you're not
23:27going to tell the police.
23:29What do you think?
23:31Okay.
23:32It's your choice.
23:34So what do you want from me?
23:36I thought you could help her
23:38represent us both.
23:39That would be a clear
23:40conflict of interest.
23:41Well, Pierre, then.
23:42It's the same problem.
23:44Look,
23:45your friend
23:47might not be
23:48a drug dealer, Bella,
23:49but she's certainly
23:50behaving like one.
23:51This is as serious
23:52as it gets.
23:54You should speak to her.
23:56I'm not giving her up.
24:00Okay.
24:06Come on.
24:07Come on.
24:08Somebody move.
24:09Come on.
24:10Charles, this is Charlotte Menace.
24:12David's been singing
24:13your praises.
24:14Oh, I hope I live up to them.
24:16So do we.
24:17Now, where's this Pierre chap
24:18David mentioned?
24:19Oh, Pierre's been held up
24:20on a case.
24:21Oh.
24:22That's a shame.
24:25Still, I'm sure you'll do.
24:35Oh, Pierre.
24:36Not now, Alicia.
24:37Not now.
24:38Please.
24:38I thought you wanted to know
24:39everything about
24:40a certain Jason Granger.
24:44Oh, go on, man.
24:45Go on, man.
24:46Quick.
24:46So, I've been on the phone
24:47to a couple of solicitors
24:48as per your request.
24:49They didn't go into much detail.
24:51You know,
24:52client confidentiality
24:53and all that.
24:53But at some point,
24:55they had both represented
24:56a Jason Granger.
24:57Did they tell you
24:58what they were representing him for?
24:59Mostly for accounts for Frey
25:01and some for ABH.
25:02He's actually done time as well.
25:0418 months
25:05held a three-year sentence.
25:06Bit of a temper, is he?
25:08Yeah, you could say that.
25:10You could also say
25:10he was quite selective
25:11about those he was targeting.
25:14Meaning?
25:15Meaning that every victim of his
25:16was a person of colour.
25:20Good work, Alicia.
25:21Good work.
25:24Can I get a raise?
25:26Or just get paid, actually,
25:28at some point.
25:30There's always a chance.
25:33That was a joke, by the way.
25:35Was it?
25:37I'll take care of it.
25:38It's just...
25:39A glitch.
25:40Yep.
25:41You do keep saying that.
25:44You should probably go
25:45before she, you know, explodes.
25:47Sure, sure.
25:49Hey.
25:52Sorry I'm late, everyone.
25:54Who he is?
25:54The man himself?
25:55David, you're looking good.
25:57Likewise, Pierre.
25:58Likewise.
26:00Pleased to meet you.
26:00Yeah, Jeffries.
26:01Your reputation proceeds.
26:03Well, all good, I hope.
26:04Well, it is why we're here.
26:06I imagine your partner here
26:08keeps you in check.
26:09Well, someone has to.
26:10Frequently.
26:11Shall we sit?
26:15As we were discussing,
26:16you're clearly all
26:17exceptional solicitors,
26:18but we're dealing
26:20with serious matters
26:21of fraud here.
26:22Yeah, and you have
26:23important, as well as
26:25wealthy clients
26:26that you have to reassure.
26:27Right, but I'm talking
26:29over 10,000 pages
26:30of paperwork here
26:31for one of these cases alone.
26:33Just 10,000?
26:35Trust me, Charlotte
26:36can go through those
26:37like a knife through butter.
26:38The words diligent
26:39and forensics
26:40spring to mind.
26:42For example?
26:44Um, my third case here
26:47was the co-owner
26:48of a Chinese restaurant.
26:50He and his wife
26:51were arrested
26:51and the fraud squad
26:52came down on them
26:53like a ton of bricks
26:54and we fought back.
26:55Charlotte fought back.
26:57They didn't speak
26:58English very well
26:59and they knew even less
27:00about filling out
27:00employment forms
27:01and I was able
27:02to show everybody that.
27:04It's very impressive,
27:05but our clients
27:06are a little more
27:07than a restaurant.
27:08Well, people are people,
27:10rich or poor.
27:11Charlotte sees that
27:12and she gets her team
27:14to see that.
27:15Hmm.
27:21There was, of course,
27:22that case involving
27:23a certain well-known
27:24pub chain.
27:26Sorry?
27:27You know, the pub chain
27:28we helped out last year.
27:31Yeah.
27:32Yeah.
27:32Yes, of course, sorry.
27:34A pub chain?
27:35Yeah, well, you know,
27:36obviously I can't tell you who,
27:38but let me just say,
27:39the great man himself
27:40handed us this case
27:41involving a top,
27:42top member of his staff
27:44and the message was
27:45that, you know,
27:46we had to come through.
27:47What was the case?
27:48Well,
27:50it was a gold medal
27:52of a fraudster.
27:53You know,
27:53pretending to be
27:53one of the company's banks
27:54had tricked this member
27:56of staff
27:56into sending
27:57a hundred grand
27:58of the company's money
27:59into what she thought
28:01was a safe account.
28:02Now, not only were the bank
28:03claiming they were not liable
28:04since she authorised
28:05the payment,
28:06they also turned around
28:07and told her employer
28:08they thought she had set
28:10the whole thing up.
28:11I mean, it was very,
28:12very stressful,
28:13which is where we came in,
28:14right?
28:14Yeah.
28:15We worked out
28:16they had to have been
28:17one of her work colleagues.
28:18To the future.
28:20To the future.
28:25You know,
28:26for a while there,
28:27I thought you might blow it,
28:29but you didn't.
28:29Pierre played a blinder
28:31with that story.
28:31I had no idea
28:33you'd been rolling
28:33with the big boys.
28:34It was amazing.
28:36It would be
28:36if any of it were true.
28:41You're saying
28:43he made it up?
28:44No, listen, look,
28:45the case did happen,
28:46just not in the colourful way
28:49that Pierre described.
28:52Doesn't matter.
28:55Smile, Charlotte.
28:57You're in.
28:58Your firm's going to do
28:59really well out of this.
29:01Oh, thank you.
29:07If we're going to be
29:08working together,
29:10it'd be good to reconnect,
29:12don't you think?
29:13I've got tickets to the opera,
29:15Covent Garden.
29:16I know you used to love it.
29:21Do you mind if I get back
29:22to you on that?
29:24Of course.
29:27I'm just going to, um...
29:29And if the bill comes,
29:31we'll just split it.
29:33Okay?
29:40You're the DCI here, Craig.
29:42Why would I request surveillance
29:43on a teenage girl, Pierre?
29:44You tell me.
29:45We've made inquiries
29:46over Michael's stabbing
29:47and we are following Leeds.
29:48That is all.
29:49No, there's no need for us
29:50to be tailing his girlfriend.
29:52I didn't realise
29:52you were so paranoid.
29:53I'm not.
29:54She is.
29:55And just because you were paranoid
29:56does not mean
29:57someone's not after you.
30:00You talked about Leeds.
30:01What kind of Leeds?
30:02Just Leeds.
30:05But I don't like coppers
30:06going over their vans
30:07any more than you do,
30:07so I will look into this
30:10for Brenda.
30:19Is there anything else
30:20I can help you with today?
30:24Uh, no.
30:38Um, did the bill come?
30:39It's fine.
30:40I paid it.
30:41I asked you not to.
30:44You can get the next one.
30:47I'd, uh, rather have split this one.
30:50What's the big deal?
30:52The big deal is I asked you not to.
30:54Well, I did.
30:56You haven't lost any of that
30:58feistiness, I see.
31:01My feistiness?
31:02Yeah.
31:02Kept me up all night
31:03as I remember.
31:04Oh, God.
31:06Listen, I was thinking
31:09maybe we could pick things up
31:11where we left off at uni.
31:13Okay, David.
31:14Look, you're in my space.
31:16I've missed you.
31:17Okay.
31:18What the?
31:20Charlotte!
31:21Charlotte!
31:21You...
31:36The police inform me
31:37they're dropping the caution
31:38against Bella
31:39and they've arrested her friend,
31:42Fran.
31:42Oh, that's wonderful.
31:44Bella will be pleased.
31:46How did the police get Fran's name?
31:48Mr. Murray, I know that Bella
31:49wouldn't have given his one.
31:51Let's just say
31:53it's just as well.
31:54I was passing my daughter's bedroom
31:57when I overheard her speaking
31:59to her friend on the phone.
32:02Yeah.
32:03I bet you were.
32:04I assume it was you
32:06that advised Bella
32:07to speak to her.
32:08Thank you for that.
32:09Well, what I do know,
32:10Mr. Murray,
32:11is that the police
32:12played you like a piano.
32:14They used you
32:15to get her friend's name.
32:16Bella's caution
32:17is not enough
32:19to prevent her
32:19from going to medical school,
32:20but they wanted you
32:21to believe that it was.
32:22The charges were dropped.
32:24There was no need
32:25for any of this.
32:26I told you
32:27I was not prepared
32:28to have my daughter's future
32:30taken away from her.
32:31What, her future
32:32or yours?
32:33A future I couldn't
32:34even dream of
32:35when I was her age.
32:38Give Bella my best.
32:39I will.
32:49Did you speak to your ex?
32:52David's not my ex.
32:55Yeah, whatever.
32:57Did we get the contract?
32:58Are we in the fraud business
33:00or what?
33:03Charlie.
33:10It's not happening.
33:11Bollocks,
33:12it's not happening.
33:12I was...
33:12I was on my charm
33:14A game
33:14with those chinless wonders.
33:16Oh, I thought
33:16you'd be pleased.
33:17You can carry on
33:18playing the Maverick now.
33:19No, no, no, no, no.
33:20They were dazzled by us.
33:21I could see it
33:22in their eyes.
33:25Something's off.
33:25Don't you think
33:26something's off?
33:27Do you want to be here
33:28or not, Pierre?
33:30Sorry?
33:31Alicia and Danny,
33:32they're still very young.
33:34I had noticed.
33:35And they look to us
33:36for guidance
33:37and leadership
33:37and they're not
33:38getting it at the moment.
33:40Do you know
33:40how lucky we are
33:41to find anyone
33:42mug enough
33:43to want to be
33:44a duty solicitor
33:45these days,
33:46let alone two under 30?
33:47Yeah, I know that.
33:49Right, well,
33:49then do something
33:49about it then, now.
33:52Jeez.
33:53Look, whatever it is
33:54you're up to...
33:55What are you talking about?
33:55Leave them out of it.
33:56Leave them out of what?
33:57Leave them out of it, Pierre.
33:59Wow.
34:02What has got into you?
34:06Do you know why
34:07Barrett and Warnock
34:07blew us out?
34:10What does David
34:10have to say about this?
34:12Oh, just...
34:13Go back to your poor
34:14and your helpless, Pierre.
34:16My poor and helpless?
34:19Charlie, they're our poor
34:20and helpless.
34:20That's what we do.
34:21It's our job.
34:22No, it's your job.
34:23It's what you're good at.
34:24It's all you really care about.
34:44You're home early for once.
34:45Where's your mum?
34:47Hospital.
34:48What?
34:48Again?
34:50Forget I said that.
34:53Hospital, we're discharging him today.
34:55Mm-hmm.
34:56Mum's taking him back home.
34:57Yeah.
34:58And where are you going?
35:00To help mum.
35:01And then I'm picking Shelly up
35:02from training
35:03and we're going to get some food.
35:05It's all right with you.
35:06You do you.
35:14Bella's dad is a class act.
35:17He's got her whole life
35:19as a doctor mapped out for her.
35:21Pierre was right.
35:21Almost feel sorry for the kid.
35:23Nothing but a waste of bleeding time.
35:25I'd rather that
35:26than me treat like a bleeding secretary.
35:28You know, sometimes I wonder
35:29if my life working here
35:30is actually going anywhere.
35:31You should try being me.
35:33What?
35:34Straight, white, male,
35:36entitled, good-looking,
35:37every conceivable advantage of life.
35:39You think I'm good-looking?
35:42Do you have to spray it on?
35:43What?
35:45Look, whatever it is
35:46makes you impervious
35:47to any kind of self-doubt
35:48and insecurity.
35:49Stuff that makes us human.
35:51Huh.
35:55You fancy getting a drink?
35:58I think you need one.
36:01I have to go home
36:03and care for my dad.
36:05Don't go out clubbing.
36:11Oh, come on, Craig.
36:12Why would two traffic cops
36:13pull Brenda over
36:13in the first place
36:14if they weren't already
36:15suspicious of her?
36:16To be fair,
36:17the car had been reported
36:18as stolen before.
36:19So why ask for her license
36:20each time and then let her go?
36:21It's just a couple
36:22of dickheads from traffic.
36:23Yeah, right.
36:24More likely they saw
36:25a black person driving
36:26a nice car
36:27and they thought,
36:27yeah, let's check her out.
36:28It's not worth the steam, Pierre.
36:31Both of the officers
36:32in question have been dealt with.
36:33I've seen to that.
36:34So what, a slap on the wrist?
36:36The sergeant is with them now.
36:37He is handing them
36:38their answers as we speak.
36:40Brenda can be assured
36:41it won't happen again.
36:46Perhaps the words
36:47you're searching for
36:48right now are thank you?
36:53A pleasure.
36:56Look, I'm glad you called.
36:58There's something
36:58I really need to get
36:59off my chest.
37:01I should have given you
37:02this earlier,
37:02but, well, there you go.
37:05Do you have time for me today?
37:07Sure.
37:08All right, I'll be there in 20.
37:14Did you settle your father
37:16in back at home?
37:17No, Pierre.
37:18I kicked him out of the car
37:19and left him on the street corner.
37:22Look, I know I've hardly
37:23been of any help lately.
37:25Hardly and lately.
37:27Interesting words
37:28for you to choose, Pierre.
37:31How is he?
37:34You've never liked my dad, Pierre.
37:35Don't pretend you care.
37:36That's not strictly true, see.
37:38I mean, your father's
37:39never liked me.
37:40Whatever.
37:42Would it matter to you
37:42if I told you that
37:43I think I really
37:44might be onto something?
37:45You mean you want it
37:45to be something?
37:46No, really, this case,
37:47I think it's really important.
37:49Oh, Pierre, I am knackered.
37:52Just go.
38:01You're something else, my dad.
38:02Didn't even occur to him
38:03to go and help mum out
38:04with granddad.
38:05He just stood there
38:06like a lighthouse.
38:09Your dad's a big boy, Eli.
38:11Just leave it be, yeah?
38:12Wait.
38:15Eli.
38:15Don't worry, let's go.
38:16What do you want, mate?
38:18Eli!
38:19Help!
38:20No, Eli!
38:21Leave him alone!
38:22Stop!
38:24Oh, my God.
38:26Eli.
38:28Please.
38:29Help!
38:30Now, this is one of
38:30Michael's videos
38:31that did not make it
38:32onto his socials, okay?
38:34Now,
38:36check out this guy.
38:38Who he's talking to,
38:40who's handing him money.
38:43PC Mark Tanner,
38:44who didn't like Michael
38:45very much.
38:45I'm going to need you
38:46to forward this to me.
38:47I figured as much.
38:48Now, I've got a name
38:49for this guy.
38:50Jason Granger.
38:51Ring any bells?
38:52Should it?
38:53Well, I mean,
38:54the guy's got a criminal record
38:55as long as your arm.
38:56And it appears he doesn't
38:57seem to like people of colour
38:58very much.
38:59So what's he doing
38:59hanging around
39:00with a police's poster boy?
39:02Granger, Tanner, Michael.
39:04It stinks, Craig.
39:05Something's off, man.
39:06You've got to check this out.
39:07Don't tell me how
39:08to do my job.
39:10I'm scared to ask,
39:11but how long have you
39:11been sitting on this?
39:12I mean, does it matter?
39:13You are getting in
39:14way over your head.
39:15I could nick you right now
39:16for withholding this.
39:19Whatever this is,
39:20Pierre, you're done here.
39:22Shit.
39:26Excuse me.
39:26Excuse me.
39:27I'm looking for my son,
39:28Eli Jeffries.
39:34Oh, God, Eli.
39:36You okay?
39:36I'm all right, Dad.
39:37You're having a lot.
39:38I told you already, babes.
39:39I'm well enough to go.
39:40No, you're not.
39:40Come on, Dad.
39:41I beg, let's go.
39:42Where are my jeans at?
39:43Please, please, stop, stop, stop, stop.
39:44Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
39:45Wait, and we're going to see
39:46what the doctor has to say, yeah?
39:48So lie back down and shut up.
39:50There you go.
39:51Get used to that from now on.
39:52Where's your mum?
39:53She's on her way.
39:54And what happened?
39:56We were just walking back.
39:58Some guy was just there,
39:59and then he just jumped at Eli.
40:00Oh, God.
40:01You threw a lucky punch, man.
40:02Because I swear to God,
40:03if I'd gotten up into time,
40:04I would have mashed him.
40:05It could have been so much worse than this.
40:07He could have had a knife.
40:08Yeah, but he didn't have a knife, all right?
40:10So we don't have to think about that, darling.
40:11Everything's going to be good.
40:13Right, Pierre?
40:16Alex, yeah?
40:18It's all right.
40:20Come on, just give me a second.
40:21What the doctor's going to do?
40:23Just relax.
40:25It's going to be all right, okay?
40:27Looks worse than it is.
40:28So just chill.
40:30What?
40:30Some low-love mugs my boy,
40:31and you tell me to chill.
40:32You got some jokes, man.
40:34Well, that's just it, isn't it?
40:35What's just it?
40:36A mugging in broad daylight.
40:39I mean, we don't know who he is,
40:41but he didn't go for Shelley's bag.
40:43He didn't look at Eli's phone.
40:44He just gave him a kicking and ran off,
40:45like that was the plan.
40:46You better keep running,
40:46as well if he knows what's good for him.
40:47And I swear, brother,
40:48I will lay waste the entire manor
40:50until I catch that idiot,
40:51no matter how quick he runs.
40:52Well, thank you.
40:55So why are you looking at me
40:56like I've just burgled your house?
40:57I just hope.
40:58It has nothing to do
41:00with the conversation we had
41:01about Tanner and the kid.
41:03What makes you think it is?
41:04This isn't just a mugging,
41:06all right?
41:06Catch up.
41:07This is a warning.
41:08What, for me?
41:09Yeah.
41:10Bollocks.
41:10And I don't want my family
41:11dragged into this.
41:12What, you think I do?
41:13That's my boy lying on a bed.
41:14I told you.
41:15Mind your arse.
41:17You're worrying about nothing.
41:18Well, maybe.
41:20Maybe.
41:22Come on.
41:23You coming back in or what?
41:25Pierre, don't fuck about.
41:27I know he's not yours by blood,
41:28but he needs you.
41:30Where the fuck do you get
41:31the fun saying that to me?
41:32Like that makes any difference.
41:34All right, okay.
41:34Well, you know what?
41:35Just get out of my face, man.
41:36Just leave me alone, yes?
41:38Can you do that?
42:02You hype glass, eh, McMahon?
42:06Whatever.
42:07What, are you chomping on that
42:08like nobody's business?
42:09I'm a diabetic, if you must know.
42:12When I'm stressed, I cry.
42:13The sweeter, the better.
42:15No, I shouldn't, but...
42:17What are you going to do?
42:19I'm not sure you should be
42:20doing that either, right?
42:22As long as I'm 15 metres
42:23from the entrance, I can.
42:24Oh, well, good luck to you.
42:25Knock yourself out.
42:29Prioritise.
42:30Excuse me?
42:31Well, you say that you're stressed.
42:33Focus on what matters.
42:34Like your family.
42:37Don't want to see any more
42:38of them get hurt now, do you?
42:49I hear you like playing cards.
42:53Bit of an obsession.
42:57Where a good gambler knows
42:58when it's not his night.
43:00Knows when to quit.
43:02Who the fuck might you be?
43:06I think you should deal
43:07yourself out, mate.
43:09I asked you a question.
43:19Mind yourself, Pierre.
43:23Oi, who are you?
43:25Who the fuck are you?
43:34Who the fuck is?
