00:10Yes, Pierre speaking.
00:13Yeah.
00:16Yeah.
00:31Eli, Eli, are you okay?
00:40Oh, my God.
01:43Don't plant no drugs on me.
01:45All right, sir. No one's going to plant your drug on me.
01:50Morning. Morning. I thought Mr. Edmund was on night duty. Has he let you down again?
01:53Must need his beauty sleep. All them girlfriends of his?
01:56I'm not sure they're his girlfriends.
01:58Oh, to be honest.
02:00Has Miriam been at the 24-hour supermarket again?
02:03Yeah, she's going up in the world. Brightfords.
02:06Now? Yep.
02:09CQPR got him in last night.
02:11It's a stonewall penalty.
02:13Carol, score Mr. Jeffries to room three.
02:17Actually, do you mind if I use your loot first?
02:19Mi casa es su casa.
02:21I'm white, let's see. We have standards.
02:31I'd like to make a complaint about the security guard.
02:37Yeah, it's just that you're the one being accused, Miriam.
02:40He was highly inappropriate.
02:45In what sense?
02:46He asked to see what was inside my pants.
02:50Right, well, according to the report, what he actually found inside your pants while searching was one pair of stockings.
02:57Yeah, the other one had holes.
02:59One electric toothbrush.
03:00Yeah, they're better than a manual.
03:02One bag of Skittles and a spatula.
03:09The Lord told me to take them.
03:12I'm not sure Bryford's supermarket chain, or indeed the British legal system, quite shares your theological outlook.
03:20Exactly. It goes to the top.
03:24Miriam, did the Lord tell you to conceal these items in your knickers?
03:30If he had, that would make me crazy, right?
03:43Okay, Miriam, you're free to go.
03:51Any chance of a lift?
04:46You're free to go.
05:04You're free to go.
05:20All right.
05:25All right.
05:27All right.
05:27All right.
05:29All right.
05:29Thank you very much.
05:31Sir, get your hand.
05:33All right.
05:39Excuse me.
05:41Rose.
05:44Fold.
05:46OK.
05:55Deal me out.
05:57Okay.
06:19I mean, I did call my GP, but, you know, I was on hold for 30 minutes.
06:2430 bloody minutes.
06:26Music was rubbish.
06:29Then my wife reminded me that I happened to know somebody who works private.
06:34Is it me or is it cold in here?
06:35It's you.
06:37Hmm.
06:38Saunas, you say?
06:40Yeah.
06:41Well, it's nothing.
06:43Then why are you here?
06:45Well, I can finally tell Celeste I've seen a doctor.
06:47And she didn't get off my back.
06:49And some quick front of the tables whilst you're at it.
06:52No comment.
06:54Are you drinking more than usual?
06:56Uh, yeah, well, I've just had a chicken wrap.
06:58It's all the salt.
07:00Passing urine a lot?
07:02Yeah, well, that's normal, isn't it?
07:04And she gets a middle age.
07:06Huh.
07:07You're significantly past the middle, Pierre.
07:10I'm only paying you to insult me.
07:12You're not paying me at all.
07:13And you couldn't afford me.
07:15Fortunately, I happen to like you.
07:17Yeah, I get it, Doc.
07:18You do for me, I do for you.
07:21I want to book you into a blood test.
07:24Call me directly at the office.
07:25This is my office number.
07:27First thing in the morning.
07:29I haven't got time for that.
07:31Make time, Pierre.
07:33Take this seriously.
07:53Yes.
07:581,000 on red.
08:00Take your bets.
08:153,000 on red.
08:173,000, in the morning.
08:18Yes.
08:272,000, in the morning.
08:282,000, in the morning.
08:292,000, in the morning.
08:39Good, you're back.
08:41At last.
08:41Come here.
08:45Really?
08:49Really?
08:51Really?
08:52Really?
09:00Okay.
09:01Ooh.
09:04Nah, leave it. Danny's on call.
09:08Danny's sick.
09:09No, he's not.
09:12Oh, yeah.
09:14Why'd you always cover for him?
09:15Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry.
09:22Yes.
09:24Yeah.
09:25Yeah.
09:27Okay.
09:32We're at this call-out, right, pub fight, and Tanner here's got his twat in an arm like,
09:35he's like, brav, brav, let go, let go.
09:37He says, what for?
09:38Sorry to smack you in the face.
09:39There you go, Pia.
09:40You can always rely on Nick to embellish your truth.
09:42There you go.
09:42Mr. By the bot.
09:43Hey, that's the job.
09:46It wasn't as bad as it sounds.
09:47I'm sure.
09:49Anyway, so, I went to get my taser out.
09:57This one's a right barrel.
09:58Yeah, thank you.
10:01Hello there.
10:02My name's Pia Jeffries.
10:03I'm your appointed duty solicitor.
10:13Fancy, uh, sweetie.
10:20Do you want a duty solicitor, or not?
10:25It makes no difference to me.
10:27Oh, I see.
10:29You're, uh, you're new to this, aren't you?
10:32I'm being stopped by police.
10:34No, being arrested.
10:36That's the third time that guy's either stopped me in the street or pulled me over driving.
10:40Same arresting officer.
10:43PC Tanner.
10:44Yeah, making assumptions.
10:46What kind of assumptions?
10:47That it's not my car.
10:50According to the notes, it isn't your car.
10:52What, this is funny to you?
10:53It's five o'clock in the morning, Michael.
10:55I haven't had a wink of sleep.
10:56None of this is funny to me.
10:58But, like, how did he know it wasn't my car?
11:00Do you understand what I'm saying?
11:02Yeah.
11:03Yeah, I mean, you know, I feel you.
11:05What, you feel me?
11:07Can you in your nice suit, playing the white man's game?
11:12Sometimes I even beat them at it.
11:22You know what I think, son?
11:25I think you don't know the difference between looking tough and being smart.
11:29I think you're shitting it.
11:31I think this is all a front.
11:33You can believe what you like.
11:35OK, so look, this is how it works, yeah?
11:37It's either me or your case spins around to the next solicitor that's on duty.
11:41And they won't be as good.
11:43I'm on your side, Michael.
11:45Years of hard-won expertise at your disposal.
11:55Do you like football?
11:57I like football, right?
11:58We all love football.
11:59In the Premier League, what kind of player do you need?
12:02Someone to get the crowd on their feet.
12:04Someone to sell their shirts.
12:06With the tricks and the flicks.
12:07Glamorous girlfriend with their own interior design business.
12:09I mean, it's the modern game, yeah?
12:12This ain't the Premier League, my friend.
12:14We're in the lower leagues here.
12:16You don't need the haircuts, the turns, the stepovers.
12:18You want to guarantee 20 goals a season?
12:20And someone prepared to dig their elbows in where it hurts.
12:22Week in, week out.
12:23I will get you those 20 goals, my friend.
12:26I will deliver.
12:27It's what I do.
12:29So what is it?
12:30Spin the wheel or stick with your daddy here?
12:36What's it going to be?
12:53Thanks.
12:57What's this?
12:58Young man's going out.
12:59Here he is.
13:00We're not charging you.
13:01The car belongs to his aunt.
13:03Registered to the same address.
13:04Yes, I know that.
13:04I ran the plates.
13:06She's on her way to pick him up.
13:07He's fully insured, but it was reported stoned.
13:09My client feels that as a young black man,
13:11he's being victimised.
13:13I did everything by the book,
13:14and you're playing this card.
13:15What card might that be, Tanner?
13:17Shh, shh, shh, shh.
13:18See him out, please, would you?
13:22Come on.
13:25You keep out of trouble now.
13:27Yes, sir.
13:28Come on, champ.
13:34Shit.
13:35What?
13:36Do you have my car?
13:39Well, you must be the auntie, then.
13:41Yeah, well...
13:42Right then, you.
13:43You're free to go.
13:45Hold up.
13:46You said he is.
13:48He took my car without my permission.
13:52I reported it stolen.
13:53I got a call saying they caught the person who took it.
13:55I didn't steal it.
13:56I borrowed it.
13:57Borrowing without permission is stealing.
13:59Now, I warned you.
14:01Last time you did this.
14:02No more chances.
14:05Time for you to face the music boy.
14:07Right then.
14:09Whoa, whoa, whoa.
14:09How about you just go easy there, customer?
14:11How about you back off and let me do my job?
14:14Michael.
14:15Just don't say a word.
14:16I'll be in in a second, yeah?
14:18Oh, yeah.
14:20Do you mind stepping inside?
14:21We need to take a few more details.
14:23Um, excuse me.
14:24Excuse me.
14:24Can I just, um, have a minute?
14:26Yeah, of course.
14:26Pierre Jeffries, um, Michael's solicitor.
14:29Brenda Dean, his aunt.
14:30Nice to meet you.
14:32Um, look, I know what you're doing.
14:34Just don't.
14:37Listen, I come home from a training day in Manchester
14:40to find my car is gone.
14:42I call Michael.
14:43I have to leave a voicemail because he don't answer the phone to me.
14:46Is it you?
14:47Did you take it?
14:48I just need to know.
14:49If I don't hear from you by midnight, I'm reporting it's stolen.
14:53And I wait.
14:55And I wait.
14:56Nothing.
14:58Listen, I-I-I can't keep doing this.
15:00I-I-I'm exhausted.
15:02I've got my own problems.
15:03Just sanction him.
15:04Throw him out of the house.
15:05Do whatever you need to do, but just...
15:07Don't do this.
15:08You know, once a young black man like him is in the system,
15:10you know how hard it is to get him off that bar.
15:12Yeah, and what favours are we doing young black men
15:14by continually making excuses for them?
15:17I'm not making excuses.
15:18I'm just saying the playing field is not level.
15:20Oh, what?
15:20And you thought I hadn't noticed?
15:22However hard it is for you, it is harder for me.
15:25I promise you that.
15:28Now, now, he...
15:29He has to learn to play the game.
15:32That is the reality of it.
15:34That's a fair point.
15:34Right.
15:35Fair point.
15:36Yeah.
15:41Is it just you and him?
15:44It's got to be...
15:44It's got to be tough.
15:47His mum passed away three years ago.
15:50No idea where his dad is.
15:53So...
15:54If I wanted a kid, I'd have had one.
15:57I know that sounds harsh, but it's the truth of it.
15:59No.
16:01I'm taking care of him for my sister.
16:05He's 18 now.
16:06He's got one more exam left to sit.
16:09And then he finishes school.
16:11And then that is it.
16:13My job is done.
16:16Yeah, but don't tell me you don't care about him.
16:18I mean, I don't believe that.
16:20I'm doing him a favour.
16:21Giving him a criminal record.
16:24Giving him a criminal record is not a favour.
16:27Like, I've seen hard lads, and he is not one of them.
16:30Lads like him crumble.
16:31Or worse, they learn things inside you
16:33you really don't want them to be learning.
16:37Brenda, just give him another chance.
16:45Come on, Michael.
16:47You should have just let them lock me up,
16:48if that's how you feel.
16:49Michael, your aunt cares about you.
16:51No, you are old enough to make your own mistakes, Michael.
16:53But I ain't saving your neck again.
16:55See?
16:55She cares more about her car than she does about me.
16:57Do you have any idea
16:58the amount of people I see
16:59who have absolutely nobody in their corner?
17:02Look, just in case you don't take your aunt's advice
17:04and keep your head down,
17:05which I suspect you won't,
17:07take my car.
17:09Yo, Tanner, check out my new videos on socials.
17:11All about you, Dred.
17:12Shut up, man.
17:13I'm going to make you famous.
17:15Watch me.
17:21You get on your way, little man.
17:25Well, you are as bright as a bulb, aren't you?
17:27If your mum could see you now.
17:29Why don't you just try being smart for a change?
17:31I'll do me, you do you, yeah?
17:35Excuse me?
17:37One last exam, you said?
17:39I am counting the days.
17:42Take care.
17:43You too.
17:49Don't tell me you've got another one.
17:51This girl from the DSCC.
17:52You still on call, Pierre?
17:53Sorry.
17:55Who?
17:56Where?
17:57Who is a drunken disorderly,
17:59assault with a dangerous weapon?
18:00Where?
18:01Room five.
18:02I need my bed.
18:18Another long one.
18:19Are you for real?
18:21Well, I can't sleep, that's all.
18:25I don't expect you to understand.
18:28You're right, son.
18:29I don't.
18:30I don't.
18:39What I'm saying is,
18:40how does he expect to get back into uni?
18:42He's just going to sit in his room all day
18:43playing video games.
18:45He told me he's not going back to uni, Pierre.
18:48I thought it was just a break.
18:50I didn't know about this.
18:52No, you do now.
18:54He idolises you, you know.
18:57What?
18:58You just don't see it.
19:00Look, he just needs to sort himself out,
19:01that's all I'm saying.
19:03Speaking of sorting themselves out,
19:05my dad mentioned something about you being in arrears again.
19:08Come on, babe.
19:09You know he's not well.
19:10He doesn't need to stress.
19:11Makes two of us.
19:15You didn't.
19:16Just a one-off.
19:17You said you'd stop.
19:20I said I'd try, see?
19:21There's a difference.
19:26I've got to take this.
19:28It's a client.
19:31I thought I'd be calling you.
19:32Then why haven't you?
19:33How many are doing this because I'm fond of you, Pierre?
19:35Okay, that's great.
19:37Thanks.
19:37How about this Friday, 11 a.m. for the blood test?
19:40If it is type 2 diabetes, we can do something about it.
19:42That's great.
19:44Goodbye.
19:48Stenjan?
19:50How the hell did you know that?
19:51Because I know you well.
19:54As I said, clean bill of health.
19:55Nothing to worry about.
19:57Are you sure?
19:58100%.
20:01Don't forget about Ronnie.
20:02Mm-hmm.
20:08Here is a cappuccino with cinnamon.
20:11Delicious.
20:13Morning.
20:14Morning, Pierre.
20:15You, sir?
20:17Happy birthday, you old git.
20:19Hi, all right?
20:23Didn't you get me this card last year?
20:24Yeah.
20:25What, still no gold Rolex, you miserable git?
20:28It's the coppers who take the backhanders, not the briefs.
20:31What's that?
20:32This.
20:33Yeah.
20:33It's granola.
20:37Pam's doing.
20:37No, I like granola.
20:38It's good for you.
20:39Look, it's not the 80s.
20:40You can have a bit of fruit and nut nowadays.
20:42Oh, mate.
20:43It just feels like everything that's good in life has been taken away from us.
20:46What's wrong with you?
20:47Oh, just a little health issue.
20:50Doctor wants some blood tests.
20:52Nothing important.
20:53Sounds important.
20:54Um, how's Shelley?
20:57Well, she's in talks with Arsenal ladies.
21:01Move.
21:01Eli didn't say.
21:02Yeah, the women's game is where it's at.
21:04You don't get the usual bollocks.
21:05Not literally or figuratively.
21:07No, I've seen the future.
21:09It's female.
21:10God.
21:11Imagine us talking about women's football ten years ago.
21:13The world is changing, bro.
21:16I've got this new DCI, Craig.
21:18She wasn't even born when I put the uniform on.
21:21Nice way about her, though.
21:24Behave.
21:24She's got a nice way about her.
21:27I know what you're saying.
21:28I'm telling you.
21:29Stop it.
21:33You ever think about retiring?
21:36Well, me?
21:37No.
21:38What to do with myself?
21:43Don't even think it.
21:45It's too late.
21:46Run.
21:46Come on.
21:47I'm just thinking, right?
21:48Don't you feel it, Pierre?
21:49You know, time catching up with us.
21:52It's like, we're the dinosaurs and the meteor's just about to arrive.
21:57Come on, you chat shit.
21:59You chat shit, mate.
22:01Read the room.
22:02We're the oldest ones here.
22:16Here it is.
22:17You're usual.
22:18Now eat.
22:20Eat up, youngster.
22:21Gotta go.
22:22Oh, I love you.
22:24See you later.
22:25See you later.
22:27Mm.
22:55Did you get the tracks?
22:57I could only get the pre-bated ones.
22:59Whatever.
23:00This is war.
23:01Just seeing one run across the floor like its arse was on fire.
23:04Right, now, three things.
23:05Oh, God, Charlie, not a list.
23:07Number one, the light bulbs are making sounds that I don't approve of
23:10and there are sparks jumping out of the toaster.
23:13We need to get an electrician in.
23:14Can't we just get a new toaster?
23:15And number two, too many of our clients are behind on their payments.
23:19Why haven't you been invoicing?
23:20Oh, come on.
23:21You know how it is for people these days.
23:22I know.
23:22It's for us.
23:23And we need to eat as well.
23:24Not to mention paying our staff on time for once.
23:27What's number three?
23:28We're out of biscuits.
23:29Get some hobnobs.
23:31Get them yourself.
23:33Pierre, please tell me you bought some traps.
23:35Oh, they're in the bag.
23:36You know, how the hell am I supposed to focus when they run around like they own the place?
23:42Where are you going?
23:44Uh, I've got an errand to run.
23:45Look, call the people who owe us dosh.
23:47Yeah, and an electrician.
23:49Sure, sure, sure, sure.
23:50Oh, look what the cat's dragged in.
23:53No time for latecomers.
23:54Come on.
23:55You're just the man I need.
23:56For what?
23:56Come on.
24:06You ever consider taking the 12 steps, boss?
24:11What?
24:11You giving me this island trip?
24:14Come on, mate.
24:15You've asked me to come, haven't you?
24:19Is this about last night?
24:23All right, look.
24:24I was at a mate's birthday party, all right?
24:27And I got chatting to this girl.
24:31So when the call comes in...
24:33The call came in around one, Dan.
24:37Okay.
24:39I thought I can't show up to the station with beer on me breath.
24:42I'd get struck off, so I'll let it go.
24:45I thought Alicia would pick it up.
24:46She's always on to me about getting more cases.
24:47This is bollocks, Dan.
24:49So please, no more.
24:51I wish you'd spent half as much time on cases
24:54as you do getting jiggy with other people's girlfriends.
24:58Did you just say getting jiggy?
24:59Yes, I did.
25:00And I'm comfortable with that.
25:03Listen, I work hard at my job, all right?
25:05You're bloody good at your job, Dan.
25:06When you are there, we all are.
25:09We care for the little people.
25:11No one else does.
25:12We have a legal system that would chew them up
25:14and spit them out if it could sink its teeth into them.
25:16Yeah.
25:18And are you saying that yet again
25:20to convince me or yourself?
25:22Whatever it takes to get inside that nut of yours, Dan.
25:25So please, fix up.
25:27Yeah?
25:28All right.
25:30Acknowledged.
25:32Good.
25:33Now pick that up.
25:34Let's go.
25:35Come on, let's go.
25:39Could you not have driven?
25:40It's all permits around here, Dan.
25:42It's like Ambush Alley does my heading.
25:45Yeah, you know I ain't been paid this month.
25:48That must be a payroll glitch.
25:52I'll get it sorted.
25:57Wanted to be my wingman this morning.
26:00Sure.
26:04Miriam, Bryfons.
26:06Again.
26:08That's twice in one day.
26:09Miriam, you're not even supposed to be in the supermarket.
26:12What were you doing?
26:14I wanted to confront him.
26:17The security guard.
26:19The same guy who you say groped you?
26:22Yes.
26:24Miriam, I'm not being funny or anything, but...
26:26Why would he do that?
26:28Men don't need a why.
26:30But you were shoplifting again.
26:34And that makes it right?
26:36No, no.
26:37But you see how this looks.
26:39I mean, he's accused you of assault,
26:40and now you're saying this.
26:42He deserved it.
26:43To have a two-pound pack of chicken thrown at him?
26:46Yes.
26:48Must have a good throwing arm.
26:54Oh, she's mentally ill.
26:55You're a doctor now while you're done.
26:57She's eccentric.
26:58Doesn't make her violent.
27:00Okay.
27:01The risk is sounding like I don't care,
27:03because I do.
27:04But we saw that fella outside.
27:06I mean, I know he's got a black eye and everything,
27:08but, you know, he's not bad looking, is he?
27:10So?
27:11I appreciate it's not exactly the woke thing to say.
27:14But do you really reckon a fella like that
27:16is going to be making propositions to someone like Miriam?
27:18It wasn't a proposition, Dan.
27:19The man did a blowjob.
27:21Well, I just think it's a bit far-fetched.
27:23That attitude does not serve the needs of our clients, Dan.
27:25Miriam is one of the...
27:26One of the little people. I get it.
27:28Look, we've got to be on top of this.
27:29Let's see if you can...
27:31Hang on.
27:34I've got to go. Hold that thought.
27:53Well, that didn't take long.
27:55I knew he'd be in trouble again.
27:57He said he wanted to talk.
28:00Maybe he wants work experience.
28:02Do I look like someone to ramp with?
28:05Try the court.
28:06I'm sorry?
28:08The basketball court.
28:10Oh, right.
28:11What did you mean when you said that didn't take long?
28:14You'll know it when you see it.
28:21Don't double dribble.
28:22That's a foul.
28:23Come on.
28:24Watch your two steps.
28:26Bounce, dribble, pass.
28:27That's all it is, Dexter.
28:29I want to see you practice now.
28:31I'm coming to show you.
28:33Don't make me suffer.
28:35Yes, more energy.
28:36Pass it.
28:37Come on.
28:38Oh, you even try it.
28:42Yeah, step back.
28:43That's it.
28:44More energy, man.
28:45Come on.
28:47Learn to jump, Dexter.
28:49Look, pass it quicker, man.
28:50Come on.
28:50Like this, yeah?
28:51Go on, yeah.
28:53Oh, yeah, is that him?
28:54Hey!
28:55Yes!
28:56Really?
28:58Come on, man.
29:00Is that what you meant when you said you were going to make that Tanner guy famous?
29:02You're assuming I had something to do with it?
29:04With that amazing work of art?
29:06You know what?
29:06I'm going to keep my assumptions to myself.
29:08I think the less I know about that, the better.
29:10I wasn't sure you'd come.
29:11Well, you are my client, young man.
29:13Oh, man loves making sure black boys keep on the straight and narrow.
29:16You know what?
29:16I could say the same about you.
29:18Look, what am I doing here?
29:19I'm late.
29:20OK, well, between me and my braids, we've been stopped like a dozen times by police this
29:24last week.
29:25Three times by that guy Tanner, just walking around, carrying a bag full of basketballs
29:29and cones.
29:30Can I look inside your bag?
29:31What do you think is inside my bag?
29:32It's bullshit.
29:33Sort of a plastic cone.
29:35That's why part of me knew what I was doing when I took my aunt's car.
29:38Driving around, hoping I'd get stopped.
29:40You wanted to be stopped?
29:41That's how they see me, so maybe I should be that person, you know?
29:44That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard.
29:45Yeah, well, people keep telling you you're dumb and eventually you do dumb shit.
29:48On and on until finally you snap and then suddenly you're just another angry black boy.
29:54Yeah, but why give them what they want?
29:56Well, just take it.
29:57Let the frustration eat you from the inside out.
30:00Nah.
30:01Keep eating shit and eventually you develop a taste for it.
30:03And that ain't me.
30:04Like, I'm done sitting back now.
30:06I'm being proactive, man.
30:07Yeah, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
30:14So go on then, I know you're bursting to tell me.
30:17Proactive how?
30:18I've been taking notes.
30:20What notes?
30:21That records of me and my mates being stopped.
30:23Who, when, where, all of it.
30:27You reckon that'll get me a case for harassment?
30:29Against the police?
30:32Do you know how hard it is to make a case like that stick?
30:35I've got the receipts and I've been filming it.
30:37Like I said, keeping records.
30:40It's not that easy.
30:41Look, nothing good ever comes easy.
30:44So you're going to help me?
30:47Look, Michael, I am just a lowly duty solicitor.
30:53Brief.
30:54So, brief me then.
30:55Okay.
30:57Here's rule number one.
30:59You keep coming at the police the way you are,
31:01they can make your life extremely difficult.
31:03See, this is the problem of your generation.
31:05You don't see how bad things are.
31:07I don't.
31:08Why?
31:10I was fighting skinheads when you still a glint in the milkman's eye.
31:13Don't lecture me.
31:14Who's a milkman?
31:16Yeah, very funny.
31:17Look, what you did back in the day, your generation,
31:20I respect that, but those days are gone.
31:23And your problem is you got a nice job and you got comfortable
31:26and you forgot who you were.
31:28Shutting shit.
31:29You've been playing the white man's game for so long,
31:30it's all you know.
31:31White man's game, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
31:34Them that don't listen must feel.
31:36That's lesson number two.
31:37What, are you a Kung Fu Panda or something?
31:39Listen, Michael, in all seriousness, yeah?
31:42Get on with your life.
31:43And get that painted over before Tanner sees it
31:46and comes after you, which he will.
31:49Some battles aren't worth fighting
31:50until you've got all your shit together.
31:52Yeah?
31:54I see it, man.
31:55You've given up.
31:56But no, no, no, it's cool,
31:57because I will do this alone if I have to.
31:59Because I ain't playing the odds.
32:01I'm defying them.
32:03And I've got truth on my side,
32:04and truth trumps everything.
32:05Every time.
32:22If that's what he's asking for,
32:24then give him that.
32:26Yeah, I know it's got ham in it.
32:28It's a bloody ham sandwich.
32:31But he's not Muslim, is he?
32:34Just feed him the sandwich, please.
32:37Kids, huh?
32:38I didn't know you had them.
32:40I don't.
32:41It's my dad.
32:42Oh, is everything okay?
32:46Well, he has vascular dementia as well as Alzheimer's,
32:49so that'll be a no.
32:52Sorry.
32:53It's fine, that's life.
32:55Are you off somewhere nice?
32:57You've done your top button up.
32:59Oh, just my oldest mate.
33:01Surprise birthday party.
33:03Nice.
33:04I'd best be off.
33:06Oh, Pierre, I'm behind on the rent.
33:09Mum's being really good about it,
33:10but I could do with being paid.
33:14Yeah.
33:19Just a glitch.
33:24Lucky you caught it in time, love.
33:25Just saw a mouse running through here.
33:27Yeah, it happens.
33:28Nearly fell off me letters.
33:30Make sure you send an invoice to my father-in-law for this.
33:33That's got to be a first.
33:34You lecturing me on paperwork.
33:36We need to talk.
33:37Do you mind, Charlie?
33:38I've got a thousand things to think about.
33:40We're short this month.
33:41I can't pay the staff.
33:45It's a temporary situation.
33:47I've sorted it.
33:48Time is a finite resource,
33:50and you're spending too much of it
33:51on cases that don't pay the bills.
33:53I mean, the amount of time you spent
33:54chasing around after Miriam
33:56and this Michael boy.
33:57They are exactly the kind of people
33:59who need our help.
34:00If things don't improve,
34:01we may have to start thinking
34:01about letting Danny and Alicia go.
34:03You can't afford to pay me, right?
34:05Yes.
34:05Oh, yeah.
34:14Look, I can shiv some money.
34:17That should take care of things for a few weeks.
34:19What money?
34:21Have you been at the tables again?
34:23Look, I won't tell anyone
34:24I've dropped it into the business account.
34:25No!
34:26No, absolutely not.
34:27Your gambling is not a viable business model.
34:30Sorry, do you mind?
34:33Well, what then?
34:35VAT cases.
34:37Yes, it is more paperwork
34:39and paper pays,
34:41but we won't last
34:42if we carry on with the pro bono.
34:43You mean to tell me
34:44we can't make a living
34:45defending the people who need it most?
34:47That's the reason why we got into this, Charlie.
34:49Welcome to the real world.
34:51I'm so glad you could join us.
34:55So, go ahead.
34:57Right.
34:57Do you remember David Croutham
34:59from uni?
35:01What, that drippy white boy
35:03that you were dating?
35:04Let's not dwell on that.
35:06He's now at Barrett and Warnock
35:07and they've got a shitload of fraud cases.
35:09They need help clearing.
35:11He wants to meet.
35:12Is this what we really want to be doing?
35:15Wouldn't hurt to have a meet,
35:16would it, mate?
35:19We could actually pay the rent on time
35:22and wouldn't it be great
35:23to have your oh-so-wonderful father-in-law
35:25off our backs?
35:25Wonderful.
35:26Him.
35:27Okay.
35:28Look, I get it.
35:30You're the principal maverick
35:31and I'm just the boring one
35:32who looks at the bottom line.
35:35Fine.
35:36But let's be clear,
35:37this isn't about your principles.
35:39This is about your vanity.
35:41You needing to be the hero.
35:46But I like being the hero, Charlie.
35:52This is Michael.
35:53We'll show you back later.
35:54Michael, it's Pierre.
35:56Look, you're right.
35:58It is harassment.
36:00Let's make this happen.
36:02Call me.
36:12Oh, it's for me, root boy.
36:14Oh, mate.
36:16It was supposed to be an hour ago.
36:17It's a surprise.
36:18You have a plan.
36:19Look, just play the part with you.
36:22Come on.
36:32Look, it's a surprise.
36:35I literally had no idea.
36:38I'm sorry.
36:40I'm sorry.
36:40I'm sorry.
36:40I'm sorry.
36:40Come on.
36:42Here you go, man.
36:43Happy birthday.
36:44Oh, my God.
36:46Oh, my God.
36:46What's wrong, Marie?
36:49Never be horrible.
36:51Come up like my man and me.
36:57My man and me.
37:01Oh, your God.
37:04Whereabouts are you going off?
37:05It's a little bit for failure to do, but...
37:06Right, it's for...
37:07Do.
37:08Oh, sorry.
37:09Could you just give me a minute?
37:09Have a word.
37:10Yeah, yeah, yeah.
37:11Come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come.
37:12Getting dapper, yeah?
37:13You know what I mean?
37:13Mmm.
37:15Oh, smile on your face, man.
37:18We asked her to marry you, yeah?
37:19What?
37:21No.
37:23But, um...
37:24It's her birthday next week.
37:26So, I was just wondering if I could borrow some money.
37:32If you want some money, Eli, go and get yourself a job.
37:34Come on, it's not that easy, is it?
37:36Well, nothing good ever comes easy.
37:37And where'd you hear that?
37:39Look, it was your choice to drop out of university.
37:41Oh, when are you going to stop giving me lectures, man?
37:42When are you going to stop drifting?
37:43Not lying around playing computer games all day.
37:46Do something that matters.
37:47I'm not you, okay?
37:48You need to stop giving me lectures, please.
37:51Damn.
37:57You know, my boy's got so cheap.
38:02Don't worry.
38:02I think you really got through to him that time.
38:05Oh, come on, Sal.
38:06I'm just trying to talk some sense into him.
38:07Nice work.
38:09Nice work?
38:10I'm just trying to stop him from drifting around.
38:13Okay, no fighting.
38:14It's supposed to be a party, right?
38:16We don't want him keeling over before the results come back, do we?
38:21What results?
38:23What results?
38:24What results?
38:26Yeah?
38:27Shelley?
38:28What did St. Jean really say to you on the phone?
38:31Well, he just wants me in for a blood test.
38:37And?
38:39It's maybe diabetes, but it's got nothing to worry about.
38:42It will be something to worry about if you have diabetes.
38:45It's going to make a complete change of lifestyle for you, starting with this.
38:50That was going to be my first one.
38:52Sadly, it looks like it's going to be your last.
38:54But, good news is, you could drive us all home tonight.
38:58Thanks, my love.
39:04I swear, Ron, the older you get, the less you know about learning to shut the fuck up.
39:09I thought she knew.
39:10I thought that's what we were having mores about.
39:12No, we were just chatting about Eli, using the pair of us like a cash point.
39:17And me trying to give him a kick up the arse about dropping out of university.
39:23He's a good kid.
39:25He just hasn't found out what he loves yet.
39:29Well, that'll be your Shelley, won't it?
39:30Yeah, well, they're certainly enamored with each other, aren't they?
39:35And that's nice.
39:35Good to see you cracking a smile.
39:39Yeah?
39:39Yeah.
39:41There you are, come.
39:42Come and say a few words, you.
39:44Yeah, go on, old man.
39:51Eli.
39:53Yeah, mate.
39:55Get to show you something nice, yeah?
39:57Cheers, Ron.
39:58Come on.
39:59Oh, that's nice.
40:00That's nice, mate.
40:03So, unaccustomed as I am to public speaking, I'd just like to say thank you all for coming
40:08and please raise a glass to my wonderful wife, seriously, without whom I am nothing.
40:13Cheers.
40:17And also to say that the vegan cake, the vegan, sugarless, fat-free, dairy-free cake was amazing.
40:24So, here's to you.
40:25Thank you very much.
40:26Yeah.
40:26Yeah.
41:00Amir! What's going on?
41:02The young lad got stabbed.
41:04Michael Felton? Is this my client?
41:07Was your client now.
41:11Looks gang-related.
41:12Gang-related? No fucking way, Amir! No fucking way!
41:16That's what I'm hearing. But you didn't get that from me, Pierre.
41:25Brenda, I am... I am so sorry.
41:31The last thing you said to me was,
41:33I'm gonna make a difference, Aunty Brenda.
41:36You know what I said?
41:39I believe it when I see it.
41:42This isn't your fault, Brenda.
41:43What, is it your fault, Pierre?
41:46Why did I listen to you?
41:48When he took my car, you said I should give him another chance.
41:52If I hadn't listened to you, he'd still be alive.
41:55We don't know that, Brenda.
41:57How could someone do this?
42:01Such a sweet little baby.
42:04My sister's one boy.
42:07And I promised her...
42:09I promised her that I would take care of him.
42:12And I failed.
42:13Come on.
42:13And she trusted me.
42:15Come on.
42:18I'm gonna find out who did this money.
42:20No, don't.
42:20I'm gonna find out when I'm gonna get this sorted.
42:23No! Stop it!
42:23I promised you.
42:23Shut up!
42:26Don't you bloody say that!
42:28Because that is a promise.
42:30You don't break.
42:31Not so good!
42:31Not CMyt, who's that boss?
42:36Stop it.
42:37Yeah, we found you.
42:37You're stuck out there in two minutes.
42:41Take care of your good night.
42:46You take care of her, your birthday.
42:53You take care of your bale, my birthday.
42:55Head of David Towlingzepst!hotline
43:24Fuck!
43:35Put it all on black.
44:00I will do this alone if I have to.
44:02Because I ain't playing the odds.
44:04I'm defying them.
44:05And I've got truth on my side and truth trumps everything.
44:08Every time.
44:38I'll be right back.
44:38Amen.
