Thank you.

Do solemnly, sincerely and truly.

Do solemnly, sincerely and truly.

Declare and affirm that I will be
faithful.

Declare and affirm that I will be

And bear true allegiance to Her Majesty

And finally, do not forget that the
great faculty to which we have been

as new, untested members is not simply a
body of learning, of service, of

probity, but a fellowship of friends, of
men and women

bound by the common ties to the ideals
of concord, mutual courtesy

and respect.

I congratulate you.

And wish you all success and fulfillment
in your careers.

Greg, thank you for coming. I didn't
think it was your thing.

It isn't. I had my arm twisted by the
senior partner.

Well, that's not very flattering, Greg.
Oh, come on. You've been flattering

enough for one day.

Congratulations, Miss Abercorn. You'll
be a fine advocate.

Champagne? I'm OK.

Well, hello, Edinburgh.

What did you do? Ring a fire bell and
call out the entire faculty? The natives

are friendly.

Not to say incestuous.

How does it feel being gonged by a pal?

He's my aunt's pal.

Actually, I felt humble.

You know what that is, don't you?

You better learn if you're looking for a
gong yourself.

Come and meet some people.

Influential people.

Would you prefer to dance? I don't
dance.

Good.

How is he settling in, your new recruit?

He's not supposed to settle. He's
supposed to make waves.

He's clever.

He'll go to the bar within the year.

In the meantime, I can get more out of
him than I can from a qualified

assistant.

Costs less, too.

You're working too hard, Catherine.

Is it sure?

It's a very old friend.

How's your life?

Muddled.

I still haven't got the hang of single
parenthood.

What does Josh say?

Well, nothing.

About anything.

I thought boarding school might bring
him out.

But it hasn't.

Oh, he's young.

Give him time.

Those two becoming item, would you say?

In the matter of colleague liaison, I
align your greatest sensitivity, Viv.

It's been a while since the last
discreet adventure.

This one ain't been so discreet, of
course. He's a free man.

Wedding bells at last.

Oh, come now. Catherine, like me, is
wedded to the job.

Of course, that's what I was wedded to.

Oh, is the admirable Hugo, by the way? I
haven't seen him for a long time.

I rarely see the admirable Hugo.

So at least the normal Hugo isn't around
to puke on the Dean of Faculty like

last time.

Damaging that for my career, wasn't it?
Not necessarily.

You mean I'm still in line for
partnership?

I mean, nothing's been decided yet.

Patience, Liv. Enjoy the party.

Friendly, Greg McDowell. Excuse me? I
hope Catherine knows what she's doing. I

don't think you notice.

I was laying down my life.

Sorry?

I mentioned a ring.

As an engagement.

It still happens, you know, especially
in Edinburgh. I think that's a good

reason for doing something different.
I'm serious.

You said we'd talk once you qualified.

You've made it, Alice.

David, I haven't even done my first
taste yet.

Is that an answer?

I like the way we are.

You raised hell in that office.

I'm so glad I'm out of it.

What's going on? We don't know yet.
Looks like trouble.

I'm sorry I had to drag you away from
the party. No, it wasn't a party. It was

professional roll call.

You're always this busy.

Evening. There's group work as well as
surgery. I'll meet the doctor.

This is my son, Greg, the lawyer. An
Edinburgh graduate like yourself.

Joe Saxton. Only he went to Cambridge
after. You told me, Nancy. More than

probably. What can I do for you? This
way.

Have a seat.

I had a girl, Julie Tate, an ex
-prostitute, doing well on a drug

program.

She'd been clean for six weeks.

A few hours ago, she was found dead in
her mother's flat.

An overdose, apparently.

I don't believe it.

Why not?

That was Mrs. Tate over there.

She'd cooperated in Julie's recovery,
watched her day and night.

This afternoon she had a phone call
saying that one of her sons was supposed

be in trouble.

Julie said she would be okay.

So her mother left the flat for 45
minutes.

The call was a hoax.

When she came back, she found Julie.

Isn't it possible she just gave up on
the cure?

She was well motivated. She knew the
risks.

And what are the risks?

For anyone who's been clean that length
of time, even a small amount of the

stuff can be fatal.

The stuff?

Amphetamines and water, injected.

The police? There'll be a post -mortem.

A formality.

The police won't push themselves for a
drug user.

And where do I come in?

Some of the locals don't like the
clinic. They want it moved.

They've lodged an objection to planning
permission for an extension.

There's a public inquiry coming up.

And Julie's death just gives them
another stick to beat us with.

So?

I'd like you to act for me at the
inquiry.

Start putting a case together.

And see if anything ties in with what
happened to Julie.

His staff respect him. So do the
patients.

He's absolutely straight.

Dedicated.

Who pays costs?

There's a contingency fund backed by
charities that keep the place going.

Then you'd better look up procedure and
prepare to see Dr. Sangster through this

inquiry.

Report directly to me.

This is an important piece of news for
us.

Well done. Thanks.

How about the other dimension?

There is no other dimension as far as
you're concerned.

Forget the girl's death. Now, come on. I
mean it, Greg.

I know your CV's so good it reads like a
forgery, but between the lines, there's

just a hint that you're a troublemaker.

You failed to find chambers in London,
remember?

What I failed to do was buy my way in.

Refused might be a better word.

Either way, be careful.

Or you're out.

Hello. Alex Abercorn.

I'm your advocate, Mr Lennox.

Youth and beauty in the dusty purlieus
of the law.

Don't be dismayed by Miss Abercorn's
youth. She's been well instructed.

I don't doubt it.

And I'm far from dismayed.

I know your aunt.

I believe you trained in her firm.

What better qualification is there?
Let's not be overconfident. It's a test

case, after all.

Yes, but on the face of it, hardly of
earth -shattering significance.

A challenge to European community
regulation and the composition of

marmalade won't get the population off
the street, whatever the outcome.

But we know there's an important
principle at stake.

That is the view of my department, yes.

Indeed, of the Scottish office.

If we lose, it's low -key enough for us
not to be embarrassed.

If we win...

I think I can say there will be a
continuing interest in your career, Miss

Abercorn.

Isn't he a little flamboyant for a soul
servant?

Low -key, hmm?

He doesn't mean it.

He's taking early retirement to polish
his knighthood.

He wants to go out on a winner.

Look, forget about the ring. I can do
better than a ring.

A lot better. Let's go.

Here we go, Mr. MacGyver.

Where will I find a copy of the planning
regulations and some drug statistics,

please? Ask Libby.

You may have to both go and save the
world.

Why not try a little light conveyancing
while you wait? If you mean that hand

-me -down heap on my desk, I've
finished.

What's the dig about saving the world?
Excuse me.

It's years since I did a public inquiry.

The procedures have all changed.

Then let's hear the new procedures.

I'll need to work them out first,
Gregor.

We never threw this lot.

It's impossible.

It's impossible using antiquated working
methods.

You are speaking of the methods I love.
I'm an antiquated secretary.

I have to make sense of this to the
client.

Okay, when you've made sense of it,
you'll know the drill.

That's the way it'll be done in the
future.

Thanks.

Yeah.

Hello. Death Sergeant, please.

Yes, hello. My name's... Crawling's
become my speciality.

Teach a university course in it.

Successful, I hope. Well, Waverley
Insurance is still on the books. Thank

I was beginning to see a bleak future.

Settling social security claims in
Cowdenby.

Well, mission accomplished.

The next set of projections should look
a little healthier.

You shouldn't have been aiding in the
press, please.

The follow -up is?

We target all clients we suspect might
be tempted to go elsewhere.

Draft a proposal.

emphasising quality of service we've
offered in the past, set out improved

services for the future. Do we have any
improved services?

You tell me.

I'll be asking for suggestions.

Fine. I must go and see Mr Christie.

Sorry.

I'm sorry about the party too.

Hugo sends his regrets.

Or he would have done if he'd been
conscious when I asked him.

Don't invite me to laugh at your private
life again.

It isn't funny.

You use it as an excuse.

For what?

Why am I always the office scapegoat?

It's not my fault that two partners
chose to retire at the same time.

You knew it was coming. You knew the
price of buying them out. I didn't know

much coasting there'd been over the
years, and not just from the retiring

partners. I did what I was told.

It's not good enough, Viv.

When I took over, I said I was going to
have to make some unpopular decisions.

Like taking a chance on someone with no
experience?

He's already brought in work and
possibly some welcome publicity.

The spokesman for the Labour Party said
the expulsion is part of a move by the

leadership to rid the party of what
might be seen as extreme left -wingers.

Mr Hedges has said he'll continue to
represent the people of Glenhead in the

spirit in which he was elected and will
stand as an independent at the next

election.

Police in Edinburgh said this morning
their inquiries are confused into the

circumstances surrounding the death of a
young woman in the city.

Julie Tate, who police describe as a
known prostitute, was found yesterday at

the home of her mother.

Meanwhile, complaints from local
residents about the sighting of the

health centre in Alfred Street are
gathering momentum.

A spokesman, Leonard Veach, the property
developer behind the area's jet home

scheme, talked to our reporter this
morning.

We've no objection to people receiving
treatment for drug use or AIDS or

whatever. We just don't want them
receiving it round here.

This so -called positive health centre
is nothing but a magnet for riffraff and

there's no place for it in an area
that's been redeveloped to an

high standard.

400 jobs have been announced for the
Tayside...

Look at this state of you.

Get yourself together and get back out
there.

The face.

You do the face first.

So, Julie, we've really screwed the
doctor.

Detective Sergeant Tham Coop.

Did I not see you once turning out for
the B team at Murrayfield? That was a

great game. It's a shame you didn't make
the big time. Okay, that's the warm

-up. What do you want?

You're Sangster's lawyer.

Word gets around, eh?

It's a small patch.

How do you get on to me?

I rang the station and asked who was
handling the Julie Tate case. It's not a

case.

It's finished.

The boss is up there now.

Telling her ma the result of the post
-mortem. That'll be Chief Inspector

Why aren't you up there with him?

I'm no good with crying women.

What's the result?

Oh, come on.

You'll read it in the papers tomorrow.

What's wrong with telling her that?

Regulations.

You don't have to be psychic to guess.

Accidental overdose.

It's typical.

The hookers fare well.

They come off the needle, then they go
back.

First hit, they're turning blue.

What about the hoax phone call? What
hoax phone call?

Don't buy this story. It was the first
time her ma had left, Julie. It wasn't

the first time.

Ask her neighbours.

Brilliant. Talk about confusion to her
enemies.

Even the judge was impressed.

As indeed was I, Miss Abercrombie.

My offer, my hand.

Thank you.

Mr Strachan did the groundwork, of
course.

An eloquent partnership.

Thank you.

And highly cost -effective, all over in
a day.

That's as important as victory in the
present economic climate.

It will be remembered, Miss Abercorn,
when we come to play the second leg, as

were, in Brussels.

I hope your passport's up to date.

I'll book a double room.

Wait, I want to see Catherine before I
make a decision.

Oh, you've outgrown Catherine.

The decision's been made.

I knew Julie when she was a kid, a nice
kid.

Of course, you went rotten.

The whole place went wrong.

Is that why you can't face her mother?

You've got your work cut out, you know
that, with Sangster?

It's caused a lot of bad feeling
locally.

Tell me about it. Turn up at the
residence meeting tonight, you'll get

picture. What residence meeting?

You didn't know?

Fine bloody lawyer you are.

I bet your client's screaming down the
phone for you right now.

Where? The meeting?

Community Hall, 830.

Thanks. Don't thank me, McDowell.

Don't come back from me.

Is that all?

Oh, Jesus, man. See, I'm putting myself
on the line, will you?

I need the insurance.

No merchandise, no proper.

The imports are getting harder to pick
up.

So what happens?

I mean... Listen, if I get out with
this, I'll be looking for a decent line

business. Yeah?

Ever thought about drama school?

I don't know what happened.

I'm waiting for instructions.

So get going, Veech.

Hey.

And see you in the Oscar.

This you crossing the Great Divine?

I thought advocates never set foot in
solicitors' offices once they'd left.

Family matter.

I've just won my first case.

Ah, yes, the case. I heard.

It was about marmalade.

We challenged the EEC regulation
successfully.

The next round's in Brussels.

It raises some interesting points of
law.

About marmalade.

Who's your solicitor?

David Strachan, Scottish office, legal
department.

Supposed to be a quirky number, the
Scottish office.

If you like being in band.

I wouldn't expect you to recognise the
scope of an action like this.

Eh?

I recognise the scope.

I mean, there's orange marmalade,
grapefruit, lemon, tangerine, lime, you

it.

Any message for me from Dr. Seinstein?

2 -3 -15 -0 -4 -12. Great, thanks.

Hey.

Oh, well, son.

Oh, I'm so proud of you.

If you're interested in a boring wee
divorce.

Only if it's my own.

I feel guilty about this.

You should be at home with your feet up.

I couldn't be at home. I'd be there.

Keeping an eye on my protégé. Oh, then I
don't feel filthy at all.

If he's able, trust him.

I do.

I'll go.

Thanks.

I'll go and find Joss.

Ah, for sure, just meeting with Dunbar.

You know my wife, Heather.

You're need to credit us for exceedingly
well in court today.

So I heard.

Yeah, talented girl.

I'm a great believer in encouraging
talent in the young.

Indeed, I think I can say without breach
of confidence that I look forward to

further development.

Although, since I'm retiring, I can
hardly look very far forward.

Early retirement, of course.

Of course.

Will you stay in Edinburgh?

Oh, no.

We're very lucky. We have a small house
in Tuscany.

My wife, like so many people, confuses
luck with sound investment.

I hope it is found, Roderick.

Or we'll be in queer street.

Well, my regards to your niece.

When I was a new boy, he used to be head
of our house.

We used to call him Leary Lennox.

Now he's oiling the wheels for Scotland.

Hello, George.

I can't say he's got to hold some ropes
or something, I don't know.

Oh, so long as you hold them steady.

It's a display, Dad.

What kind of activity?

Oh, nothing much, you'll hear.

Tell me about this trip you're making.
You did a race.

It's a record attempt.

I'll tell you later. I have to go.

He's not very social, is he?

In my day, outdoor pursuits were
strictly for duds.

Has it ever occurred to you that you
might be a hard actor?

This is a rehearsal, George.

Okay? You come on strong tonight, you'll
do us some good at the inquiry.

I won't make anything.

Well, you know something I don't? I
don't know anything yet.

I'm trying to make sense of what I'm
hearing from the patients.

I'm sorry, most of it's confidential and
possibly unreliable.

It still looks bleak. I know you're
telling me.

You know there's going to be a capacity
crowd down there wanting to see you

swing.

Disappoint them.

It's a good argument.

It wouldn't matter how good it was.

I had a phone call from Dominic Tate
this afternoon.

Julie's brother.

He said to forget everything Mrs. Tate
said last night.

She was hysterical.

Her family's going to be joining the
opposition.

You think she's been got at?

Listen, do me a favour. Go to the
funeral in Fosley. Keep your eyes open.

And trust me now, whatever happens...

What's wrong?

Is it something Catherine said?

She was pleased, wasn't she?

Ecstatic.

Did you speak to your father?

No.

Not ready yet for the emotional bribery.

Oh, that's a bit strong.

Is it?

He seems to think we have this deal.

I do well. He looks less like a failure.

He's not a failure.

He was a bloody fine judge.

Yes.

He was.

He was good to you.

It suits him.

Letting me use his flat, his stuff.

I feel as if I have to make his
comeback.

I need a place of my own.

I don't get this.

I suddenly realised in court this
afternoon.

I can think on my feet.

I've got something to say for myself.

Myself.

Me.

You were well briefed.

Yes, all right. You've nursed me too.

I'm grateful.

How did all this affect Brussels?

I don't know.

Come on, it's time we were going.

No, I'm sorry, David.

I'll call you tomorrow.

Do you know what these are?

The 40 used hypodermic needles.

Picked up this morning just on the edge
of the children's playground, around the

corner from the clinic.

Dr. Sangster here gives out needles
free, and he wants larger premises.

Remember Dookie? A councillor runs a
metalwork business on the shore. Oh,

into everything now. Demolition a lot.

Bought himself a suit when he got to be
head of the housing committee. Not much

of a chairman. When the Positive Health
Centre was established in 1989, we had

bought the... In 1989, when the centre
was bought...

What the hell's he doing?

This is what I'm saying.

You need the clinic.

problem is and the problem is in the
community.

Yes, we do operate a clean needle
exchange.

It's the only way we have of containing
the spread of infection while we

rehabilitate the users and by infection
I mean HIV and the AIDS virus.

Over 300 families in this area have one
or more members at risk of dying in the

next few years.

It's getting worse.

We have to expand.

There's been a suggestion that the
clinic should be moved to the edge of

city. But I'm telling you, if the clinic
is moved, the problem won't move with

it.

I'm asking you for your cooperation.

Help her.

Consult her.

Tell us what's happening.

We're your only hope.

This is for you, Dr. Sangster. From the
floor, Mr. Beach, if you don't mind.

A petition.

Never mind 300 families.

There's 2 ,000 signatures there from
decent, law -abiding people who want you

out. And this is for you, Beach, from
Julie Tate.

He assaulted him in front of a room full
of people. I don't believe it.

I'm bound to say neither did I.

What did he think this will do to his
chances?

Look, he's kind of passionate. He's got
the bit between his teeth.

The wrong bit.

We're engaged to represent him at the
inquiry, that's all.

He wants me to handle his defence.

There's got to be an assault charge.

There is no defence.

He's guilty.

Tell him to save his money. His union
won't pay up this time. He'll pay.

He's got this idea.

We put Veitch on the stand, destroy his
credibility, then we go into the inquiry

with a bonus.

How do you intend to destroy his
credibility?

I'm working on it.

Veitch isn't a bona fide spokesman for
the residents. He's got vested

It's OK if I'm at the office tomorrow
morning.

It's the funeral.

Don't your appearance be a little
unorthodox?

Does that mean no?

Get out.

I've work to do.

File a complaint? Who says?

God, how can I file a complaint?

Easy. Go to the police.

I'll be in court, man.

You'll be in shit, man, if you don't
behave like a law -abiding citizen.

Sangster should have been axed early on.

Yeah.

Axe him now, then.

It's not my job, is it?

Look, I'm returning a lawyer, all
expenses paid, OK?

You're consulting the solicitor that
handles your business affairs.

Is that what I'm supposed to say to the
media?

Practice no comment.

Oh, Christ.

Reach.

I'm sick of telling you.

He didn't come near this place.

You don't belong with me.

Look now with compassion on your
servants who are sorely grieved by their

Strengthen in their hearts the spirit of
faith to accept this cross from your

loving hands.

Give to their troubled hearts and to the
hearts of all men the light of hope.

May they so live that they may one day
unite again in the kingdom of your love.

You the police presence?

Sorry, I forgot.

It's not a suspicious death.

I used to be a neighbor.

You pay my last respects.

Even if she was only a hooker.

Whose decision was it not to proceed
further?

Was it Chief Inspector Ross? No, not
Ross.

Who? Higher up. I don't know.

Why? Oh, Christ!

Think about it.

She'd probably been with half the top
brass. I'm not saying she did.

Blackmail?

Listen, just one thing.

That's enough, McDowell.

I've got a career and all. I want to
stick with it.

That's right, cry.

Cry all you like.

What bloody good's it going to do you?
You'll end up the same way in a box like

her.

You're on the needle, aren't you?

You were just like her when she was full
of it.

You stupid bitch!

Look at Veach for me.

He might be clear on your books, but
he's a jaundice, isn't he? His accent?

Check him out.

Well? Someone's running those girls.

I thought all hookers had pimps. Not in
these parts.

They used to be amateurs. They'd do it
in the back green for the price of a

They're organised now.

You see them hanging around in pairs.

If they're all users, could they be
dealers as well?

Could be. We don't know how it works.

You got nothing from Julie?

Nothing. She wanted all the stuff off
the streets. That was it.

But she never opened up.

Suppose the pimp's a wholesaler.

Found out she was taking the cure.

Had her talk to encourage the others.

True.

One of them might talk.

Don't even try.

No one knows you're here.

We changed your name. Did they tell you?

You don't answer to Paul Aykroyd now.

I'm going to talk to you.

You needn't respond.

If you want to, a nod or a shake of your
head will be enough.

I'm going to go over what you told me
before you started treatment.

Well, what do you think?

It's not a question of what I think.
It's what you have to do.

It's only a letter.

You've been instructed to appear in
Brussels.

You're not in a position to refuse.

Supposing I did?

The Scottish office could make a
complaint and you could find yourself

disciplined by the Dean of Faculty.

You'd be finished, effectively.

Not if I'd agree to do another case in
the meantime.

You haven't.

To be madness, anyway.

You can't do better than this, Alex.
You've been noticed.

A few years and you could be a standing
junior counsel to the Secretary of

State. Who'd be impressed?

Daddy? I would.

Everyone. David.

I have to get unhitched from David.

Not over this.

You're a professional lawyer. Keep your
private life separate.

Tell me about Dr. Sangster.

The inquiry and the assault case.

I didn't hear you.

Oh,

come on.

I wouldn't be the first baby advocate to
get a leg up from the family firm.

I must go back to the office. 7 .15.

Which means I can put in three more
hours before I go home. I'll get this.

Look, Catherine, I'm sorry. I know
you've enough to do without worrying

me. But I'm not going to Brussels.

Nothing, I'm beat.

Well, you can't expect me to. I didn't
expect.

I hope. That's all.

All right. I'll never call again when
you're on duty.

Call me if there's a development.

Just one thing.

Please. I'm sorry. I need to know who
owns a blue Sierra registration G114GFS.

Easy.

Who? Milligan.

Milligan? Who's Milligan? All right.

All right.

Listen, thanks. I appreciate it. Thanks.
Great.

I want to talk to you.

I'm looking at the record of Veatch's
tender for the Jett Holmes property. It

went through the housing committee.

Now? In my office.

The head of the housing committee
chaired the meeting the other night, a

called Dougie Allen.

Does that not make him prejudiced?

What's all this about?

It's about counsel for Dr Sangster.

It's too soon. I can't even draft
instructions yet. There's not enough

There may never be enough evidence.

We could be forced into making an
apology.

Sangster won't apologise. If we do this
right, he won't have to.

We need someone who'll box clever.

It's a simple assault case.

We need someone who isn't afraid of the
odds against Dr Sangster.

Someone who isn't disillusioned yet.

Who did you have in mind?

When the renovation's been complete,
Beach becomes a landlord, effectively.

He collects the rent. He then invites
the tenants to become owner -occupiers.

Eventually, according to precedent, they
default.

They're rehoused in down -market council
estates, and he cleans up on a crime

site. Look, what's wrong, Greg? I've
started my research.

Tell you what's wrong.

You're an experience.

You're lightweight.

You've got no rapport with the local
community. Look, I don't like you much

either, so let's call it creative
hostility, shall we?

Let's call it luck and opportunism and a
contract and nepotism. Don't defame my

aunt's integrity.

She told you you could keep the lease.
That's what I told her.

So I'll assume we're both here because
we want to be? She made it sound like a

warning. She also said you came cheaper
than a decent counsel. No, I think she

said an established counsel. Anyway, we
both come cheap. Let's see if she gets

value for money.

You make a good job of this case.

When do I meet the doctor?

Not tonight.

He's driving his wife and kids out of
town to be on the safe side.

Why has he been threatened?

Phone calls for starters.

Just in case you're in any doubt about
the danger.

Well, I'm not.

Anyway, you wouldn't normally meet him
at this stage. It's irregular.

Correct, but there is nothing in the
rules to say I can't.

And don't tell me you welcome the danger
either. Why not?

It's part of the attraction for you,
isn't it?

Good evening, Catherine.

Campbell, what are you doing here?

I was passing and saw the lights in the
office. I was on my way to a solitary

risotto and I thought you might care to
join me.

You could drive me home, save me a taxi.

No risotto, though.

Doctorate order.

Doctor's orders.

What's wrong?

Nothing that six months rest wouldn't
cure.

And there are some ominous tests
looming.

Strange how a word like test can make
your life flash before your eyes.

Catherine, my dear woman.

Oh, it's all right.

I'm through the first round of self
-pity.

Why didn't Alex ask how I was? Why have
I worked myself to a standstill? Why

have I never married when I had the
chance? Why have I never been dressed by

Chanel? Why have I... Deb.

Let's talk about George instead.

How is he?

I don't know.

He's been gated for a set -two with his
history teacher.

He loses a couple of weekends.

I think I was going to agonize about it
tonight.

Agonize away?

Let's both agonize.

I'll tell you about falling profits and
inefficiency and disloyalty and... Alex.

Catherine. Stop.

You're still working.

Let's just be quiet.

And friendly.

Milligan and Veatch.

If I asked you to read your name, could
you do it?

What is it?

Get out of here and deliver.

What is it?

I said move!

You're not going to like this.

I want advice.

Well, that's it.

Seen the set -up, met the client.

I like him.

Not compulsory. Helps, doesn't it?

I admire what he's doing.

What happens now?

Nothing, as far as you're concerned.

Why are you so anxious to get rid of me?

There's something going on, isn't there?

Well, shouldn't I know if it's the cage?

It's a long shot. It's something Joe's
set up to prove Veatch keeps bad

It might not work.

If it does, it's crucial. Tell me.

He's very cagey. I'll tell you the
results if there are any.

Bloody taxis. Nothing doing for half an
hour. The one night my car's in dock.

I'm sorry. I should have thought about
this.

I have a car.

I'd better wait.

Drive you home.

No need. We'll walk.

Thanks. I hope you know how to use that
thing.

I borrowed it. I was told it was
foolproof. They are foolproof. It's

Hands off.

You can't have anything to do with the
evidence.

Sorry. I think maybe we should all take
cover.

Who is it?

It must be Chee.

Milligan's car.

Chee's is at work.

They're old pals.

I'm right!

You try me, bastard!

For the right, you can... I

think, possibly, we

should leave now.

It's a gun.

Back off slowly.

You back off. You'll be recognized.
