The judge warned her case.

Yes, didn't he?

No one wants a scum like that on the
streets.

No one.

The bastard's family was in court for
the whole trial.

Even the kids.

Clear up the whole lot of them.

Quite so.

Congratulations, old boy. Thank you.

Thank you. You need a drink.

McCandlish. Yes.

They must be his family. Come on.

Stop these men.

The police are over here.

Mr. McCandlish. Mr.

McCandlish. This man is an advocate, an
advocate deputy. He's just been

prosecuting on behalf of the Crown.

Mr. James McCandlish.

I am Detective Chief Inspector Smith.

I have a warrant for your arrest for the
murder of Maureen Esther Lucinda

McCandlish. I must caution you that you
do not have to say anything, but

anything you do say will be taken down
and maybe given in evidence. Do you

understand?

Of course I do.

You're not even going to allow me to
take the top off.

That's not how we get one of them.

That's why we've turned it into a party.

Let's push his face in it.

Yes, of course, I will telephone the
court.

They'll tell me nothing.

Because, my good Mrs. Jasper, they are
morons.

Archie, he's just arrived.

Can't you see him alone?

He's a potential partner. You should be
in on it.

Okay.

Yes, Mrs. Jasper, I am very good with
morons. Good morning.

Morning, Vicki. Any mail?

Morning. Morning.

Mr. Wilson.

I'm Barbara.

Catherine will do.

This is Archie Hosties. How do you do,
Archie?

Shall we go through to my office?

I'll borrow this, Libby.

You seen it?

As you know, we're a medium -sized firm
with a good reputation.

Reputation's important.

We think so.

We recently lost two partners and one
qualified assistant.

Why was that?

The partners retired.

Natural wastage. And the assistant
couldn't keep up with the pace.

She passed over confidential documents,
photographs, to our opponents.

I dismissed her.

You understand I have various offers on
the table.

That doesn't surprise me.

I want to be somewhere where I can take
an initiative.

I can't work in a straitjacket.

We do encourage a certain amount of free
expression here.

Within limits.

Beloved, we have come together in the
house of God to celebrate the marriage

this man and this woman in the assurance
that the Lord Jesus Christ, whose power

was revealed at the wedding in Cana of
Galilee, is present with us here in all

his power and his love.

Marriage is provided by God as part of
his loving purpose for humanity since

beginning of creation.

Jesus said, The Creator made them from
the beginning male and female.

For this reason, a man shall leave his
father and mother and be made one with

his wife, and the two shall become one
flesh.

That's more than it's just, ma 'am.

Are you going into my room now?

Yes.

This is Dominic Lawson, Dominic Greg
McDowell.

You play?

Certainly do.

Catherine, do you know we're infested
with cockroaches?

We'll contact you soon. Thank you.
Goodbye, Catherine.

Goodbye. You knew

we were interviewing him.

So? You made that racket for a point.

The cockroaches are being dealt with.

We're taking him on.

As a partner.

That's got nothing to do with me.

If he comes, you'll be working with him.

You're the boss.

Well, isn't she?

Where's Mummy?

Through it, Marilyn.

I missed you in church.

I had to tidy up in here.

People were asking about you.

Tell them I'm fine.

I want this to be a nice day.

And now, ladies and gentlemen, I give
you fire eating.

Ladies and gentlemen, I will light the
sticks.

The sticks are now lit.

Your name Paul David Lucas?

Yes.

Come with us, sir.

What's wrong?

Look, what have I done?

What's happening?

Look, where are you taking me?

I dare you to get in.

Is it safe?

Hey, don't mind the body. It's got a
fantastic engine.

So I can see.

You have a good morning.

£18 .50.

Six invitations for dinner.

Nine obscene remarks and one indecent
exposure.

Fair to middling.

Listen, I need to drop into college.
Will you take me?

Sure. Thank you.

Police arrested a busker this morning.

Oh, yeah?

Do you know him?

Everyone knows everyone around here.

What is all this? Empty your pockets, Mr
Lucas.

What's all this about? Just do as you're
told, Coco.

Clown.

Take a look at these, Mr Lucas.

You know him?

You were seen arguing with him a few
hours before he was killed.

What were you arguing about?

Who can juggle the most balls?

Clown like you, wasn't he?

There are lots of clowns in Edinburgh.

But they don't all go around killing
people.

Tell us how you did it, Paul.

I didn't.

Ever lived on a farm?

What?

Your parents own one, don't they?

What's that got to do with you?

You're a bit of a rabbit expert, aren't
you?

Do you know the quickest way to kill
one?

Crack. On its neck.

Dead.

And that's how you did it, didn't you?

And then you strangled him, to be sure.

I hardly knew him.

We argued over a pitch, but I didn't
kill him.

Did you know a man's tongue was as long
as that?

What are

we

doing here?

We're trying to get an admission.

What do you think we're doing?

With due respect, sir, if we get any
kind of admission this way, the judge

never let it in.

You let me be the judge of that.

Thank goodness.

Thought I'd lost it.

Is that for the concert?

One of my pieces.

Rather you than me.

Let's go.

Hey.

You know that I want front row seats.

Are you sure?

Yeah.

I want to see if everything they say
about you is true.

Likewise.

Forensic. It doesn't matter.

There's no look at his hair.

We're going to put a potential killer
back in the streets in the base of a

sample.

I don't want Lucas to have a moment's
realisation.

Let him know that we know he did it.

I'm Mr Lucas's solicitor. He's been
released without charge and has been

eliminated from police enquiries.

You'll have seen a lot of your old
friends here, my candid.

Those you put away.

Some are still looking forward to
renewing your acquaintance.

Babe, do you want a lift?

Oh, I don't think so. It's only just up
the road. I know where it is.

It really wasn't necessary.

How's Hugo?

Well, drying out.

How are you settling into your new job?

Fine.

We offered a partnership.

Oh, good.

Listen, Kathy, really...

I have no alternative but to ask you to
leave.

You're giving confidential documents to
our opponents, for God's sake.

So you say.

Viv, so I know.

Let's try and get a professional
relationship sorted out. If not for our

benefit, for the client's.

What you did to me could have destroyed
my career.

responsible for your own actions. You
had no evidence.

You know what you did, then?

You just wanted me out of the office so
you could surround yourself with your

adoring young men.

Oh, you fixated.

This will do fine. Just drop me off
here.

You just can't leave me alone, can you?

I want to straighten things out. Well,
I've straightened out enough, thank you.

I'm a partner, respected and valued.

I'm highly thought of.

Oh, and do you like to know what they
think of you?

Then, please.

A neurotic woman who overreacts.

Totally unsuitable to be a senior
partner in any firm.

Morning.

Morning.

Everything all right?

I just met Viv.

Ah. Even now she won't admit to what she
did.

Well, she's very bitter.

Accused me of jeopardising her career.

Catherine, you've tried to mend bridges.
I think we should just leave it.

Anyway, this new man Lawson's been in
touch.

He wants to come on a three -month trial
period.

Good.

I think you'll want to read this.

Thank you for your letter.

Well, the newspaper spoke highly of you,
and I've heard good things.

Your conviction rate was excellent.

I know you played it tough. I've been
your opposing solicitor on a number of

occasions. Yes, I know. I've seen you in
court.

You ever think of defending?

Don't you have to believe in your client
to defend him?

Not necessarily, but it helps.

Well, I'm sorry I've left it so late to
instruct you as my solicitor. I've just

sacked the other lot. They went up to
it, frankly.

Here's everything that need concern you.

The court's unlikely to have any
sympathy for us.

Have you got counsel in mind?

I hadn't thought.

Try him. He's good.

Yes, he is.

I'll need some time.

And my interview tapes.

You shouldn't have those.

What?

Friends in high places.

Listen to them. You may not need as much
time as you think. The evidence is

against me.

Ours was a good marriage.

She was supportive and loving.

To begin with, she wanted nothing in
return.

It started with the odd side remark
about how I was never around when it

mattered.

She used to say that she was wasting
away and that there wasn't even anyone

around to watch the decay.

Killed her.

She knew nothing of it.

As her head broke and her eyes
flickered, she knew nothing of it.

And I threw her into the sea. It was so
instinctive,

so right.

I don't know what Philip Jackson's into.

I'm sure I'll be overdressed.

The others will be in jeans, I know it.
He's admitted to the lot, and so

eloquently.

The advocate he wants is an old
adversary.

He's a good defence lawyer, but at its
best it's guilty to a reduced charge of

culpable homicide.

He really should have given us some idea
as to what he was planning.

I'll be overdressed if it's just an
informal buffet.

On the other hand, he might just want to
have a wild orgy.

I'm taking your car.

I'll be too late for the last bus.

You look fine.

That's about it, really. Any problems,
anything that's troubling you, come to

me. That's what I'm here for.

I don't say I've got all the answers.

Nice place they've given you.

One of the perks.

Well, the only one, eh?

Well, the other one is being able to
invite nice people like you lot round.

sure you get at least one square meal a
time.

Hello.

The door was open. Sarah. Hi.

You know everyone.

Yes. Let me get you a drink. Lager will
be fine.

No, Greg.

No, he's working on a big case at the
moment. Thanks.

All work and no blame. Back to lawyers,
will you?

I tried to keep away from them myself.

Please, Mr. McCandlish. Mr. Hampton and
Mr. Pryor are your counsel. You must

help them.

The body. What about the body, James?

Let her rest in peace.

It was seen floating just other side of
the dock, sir.

It shall be rotted to paste by now.

Nope, absolutely not.

I'm told that a man's voice is better.

Catherine, I have served this firm
faithfully for over 20 years, man and

have never shirked. I know that, Archie.
Ask me to do anything as a lawyer, but

this... We have to compete.

Other firms have already started doing
it.

They've sent me some specimens. We can
either adapt them or do our own.

And another thing.

They're looking for a legal eagle for a
phone -in.

Granger and Granger are your kind of
people. Personal injury, divorce, crime

commercial. We offer a full and
comprehensive service.

Our friendly staff are... I think we
could do better.

That's why I want you to write the
script and record it.

The council says he never received the
brief in Marshall.

The council always says that.

Roast him for mislaying it.

Oh, and there's a client for you.

I'm not expecting anyone, Emma.

Seems urgent.

Someone new knows you.

Janie.

Oh.

It's been a long time.

When you stopped writing, I didn't
assume anything was wrong.

I mean, you always seemed so happy with
your minister. What's his name? John.

We'll need to get an exclusion order to
get your husband out of your home.

I used to be safe in Susan's room, but
on the last two occasions, it's happened

even in there, in front of her.

Do you own your own home? I mean, it's
not the church's.

No. No, we own it.

Can I take this home with me, Mum?

Bruises.

Cuts.

Thank you.

Well done, boys and girls. Same time
next week, please. In the meantime, see

all on Sunday.

Archie, are you all right?

You seem preoccupied today.

I need an exclusion order, and quickly.

It's a long time since I handled a
husband and wife case.

Need any help?

No, I want to handle this one.

The Blight is a minister.

Is it bad?

Well, as yet, he hasn't laid a hand on
her, but, well, that's what she says.

So what's the damage?

Well, the man's unstable, apparently. He
wrecks everything around him,

everything.

Especially the things that Jenny values.

On the last two occasions, it's been the
ten -year -old daughter's room.

Next time, it could be the ten -year
-old daughter.

You sure she wants an exclusion order?

The man's tormenting her and the child.

If you go for it and get it, forcing him
out of the home, that's fine.

But if you go for it and fail, who knows
what you might push him into. He's not

going to like it.

So what do you suggest?

If you go for it, make sure you get it.

Thought you might be hungry.

It's a disaster.

McCandlish pleading guilty to murder?

He's too senior to be involved in this
sort of case.

Men in his position just don't kill
people.

Wait, my lord.

I think he's accepted his fate.

You were McCandless's choice.

It's a great case. High profile.

Everybody in the profession will be
talking about it.

Most welcome.

We offer a range of services second to
none.

Second to none.

Farrah? Hi, um, is Greg around?

No. What's he expecting you?

Oh, we'd arranged to meet. Nothing is
too large or too small for our excellent

team.

My Lord, before I tender any plea on
behalf of my client, I have a motion to

make. What's it like from the other side
of the bars, McCandlish?

My Lord, as I was saying, I have a
motion to make.

I fear it is a little late in essence.

It is for an adjournment.

I would never cease.

I thought we were bound to fail.

That judge is renowned for getting on
with it.

And after all, if we wanted to consider
a plea to culpable homicide, we've had

plenty of time to do it.

Well, McComas is one of them, isn't he?

And, ladies and gentlemen, last but not
least, I will now make all the balls

disappear.

Hop, hop, hop, hop, hey!

Ladies and gentlemen, my last trick of
the day is called frying the egg.

Ladies and gentlemen, I will now
attempt...

To fry the egg in the frying pan by the
use of the fire -eating stick.

Okay, here we go.

Okay, here we go.

One, two, three, four, five, six.

Hey, hey!

Thank you very much, ladies and
gentlemen.

If you'd just like to leave your
donations in the pan, thank you very

They aren't just going to move them on,
sir.

Well, they're going to look right pricks
when we prove that Lucas did it.

Because he did it.

Every instant my body tells me he did
it.

I've looked carefully into this Lucas
matter.

The man did it, sir.

Probably.

I'm sorry, Michael, there's going to
have to be an investigation.

Take some leave.

It'll have to be an official suspension.

Sign of the times, I'm afraid.

See you then.

So, Andrew, suppose I wanted to become
an advocate.

What advice would you give me?

Let's get some food.

I'm just going to make a quick phone
call.

I'm you, Greg.

Hello?

Sarah? You there?

Hello?

Excuse me, please.

You make sure these people move back.

Looking for bike marks?

Just let me see his knife, please.

So you made it back all right then, last
night?

Must be pretty absorbing, this case.

Thanks. So absorbing that you forgot our
arrangements for lunch.

Again.

I did try and ring you, Sarah.

Bit of an afterthought, though, wouldn't
you say?

Listen, Greg, you're pretty involved in
this case at the moment.

I've got the concert.

That's very important to me, too. Quite
a lot of agents could be there.

We're both busy.

I love it out here. I love this cottage.

But really I should be locked away in
the music department practising.

So what are you saying?

That you'll finish the case and I'll get
through the concert.

Go on.

You haven't got time.

I haven't got time.

I understand the pressure you're under.

I think I should move out. Move out the
cottage?

Yes.

Where are you going to go?

All the residents.

Oh, I see. I've already spoken to Philip
Jackson.

He's fixed me up with a room.

Well, that's all done then.

You've obviously made your decision.

I'm not finishing the relationship,
Greg.

I just think it's going to be better for
us both if I move out.

We're both under a lot of pressure.

If I don't move out, it might start to
affect us.

Do I have any say in this?

Obviously not.

I love you, Greg.

And that's why I'm doing this.

You've got a serial murderer.

Rabbit blow to the neck, followed by a
fixation.

That's so bad.

Are you sure you want to go through with
this, Janey?

I think it'll bring him to his senses.

Really, the last thing I want is to take
him to court.

Don't worry, Archie.

He won't hurt you.

You know, I really only do conveyancing.

Oh, and who do we have here, then,
Jenny?

Not seen this gentleman in church?

This is Archie Hoseason.

He's a philanthropist.

McCandless hasn't got any fight.

The man must be shattered.

Yeah, well, guilty.

Has he told you? He told me what?

But he told you that he's guilty.

Well, not in so many words, no.

Until he does, you defend him. No
questions.

He's keen to come to the bar.

You didn't know?

I'm not his keeper.

Of course I knew.

I've heard good things about him.

Oh, Greg's good.

He'd be an asset to the bar.

Well, that's not why you asked me here.

It's not altogether unconnected with Mr.
McDowell.

On McCandless' case, he might have been
a future Lord Advocate.

He had the right political connections
and he was a damn good prosecutor.

He must have made some enemies.

What are you suggesting?

That McCandlish has been framed?

That's ludicrous. He's confessed.

To a police officer who's presently
under investigation.

I hope you like it strong.

Mr. Naismith, um... Or would you prefer
coffee instead?

No, no, no. Tea's fine.

Uh, Mr. Naismith, I think you know why
I've come here.

I'm sure you're under a lot of stress.
Many people rely on you.

I'm not unsympathetic, and neither is
your wife.

What do you hope to achieve by coming
here, Mr. Hoseason?

Your, um... Your wife has asked me to,
um... Have I struck her?

Does she say that I've struck her? No.

Then state your business.

It, um, doesn't need to be physical.

I shouldn't have come here. I needn't.

I've come here.

I could have gone straight for an
exclusion order.

That way you'd have been forced to leave
this house.

That might not be the best thing for
anyone.

Get this man out of my house.

Now? We'll be fine with the whole
season.

Thank you for your concern.

You wanted to see me?

Sit down.

You still serious about becoming an
advocate?

The old establishment grapevine got
through to you. That was quick.

Look, Catherine, you made your position
clear when you offered Lawson a

partnership. That doesn't leave a lot of
room for me now, does it?

You want to run before you can walk.

I just don't like walking.

I think there might be a run on
McCandlish.

The police officer who extracted the
confession has been suspended.

As far as the prosecutor's concerned,
his evidence could be dead meat in the

right hands.

And I'm to be the butcher?

If necessary, yes.

I couldn't care whether McCandlish is
guilty as sin. If we can get him off, we

do it.

It's our duty, right?

Right.

We're getting away all night. This
woman's just going, ah!

Ah!

Ah!

Ah! Ah!

And the whole campsite was, come on
then, come on! Come on, come on! She's

ah! Oh!

Oh! And we're going, come on, all the
cars are partying.

There are beams on our table. Come on
then, come on!

Ah! Ah!

Ah! And we're going, come on! Come on!
Come on! Ah!

Ah!

Ciara Thompson, please.

Sorry, she's not in.

I've got the stuff for her.

Leave it with me.

I'll see that she gets it. Oh, be
careful, then.

They hang around in massive groups,
right? I mean, for instance, like

right? One, one tear! Few spots.

Skinny as hell. Hi.

Listen, can we talk?

Greg, it's a bit difficult right now.

I'm with a group of friends.

Why don't you come and join us?

No, I just brought some of your stuff,
to see if you're picking it up.

You're not buying it, are you?

No, of course not.

Come on.

He's a bastard, Catherine.

Let's hope to God we can prove it.

I was told the office would be empty.

They're all right, you know, once you
get to know them.

Sure.

How's the case going?

You want to stop asking me about the
case?

How's the concert?

Fancy a night, then?

Greg.

I really should stay here.

We did agree.

Okay.

I just wanted to...

Do you keep them?

No. No, it's your cottage.

There'll be no need for you to give any
evidence. I've put it all in the

affidavit.

It'll be all right. It'll be fine.

You said you only did a convenient
thing.

I didn't mean it like that.

I know what I'm doing.

I understand Detective Chief Inspector
Smith

has been... James.

Did Smith force the confession out of
you?

Was anything said when the tape was
switched off?

Yes.

But you can't use us, Hugh.

He said that if I didn't cooperate, he'd
make sure that I spent my time on

remand in a prison holding men.

I had prosecuted and convicted without
protection.

You can't use this, Andrew. I forbid it.

He's lying.

Maybe, but it's a damn good defence.

He told us weeks ago, on tape, that he
disposed of the body in a sack, that

smashed the head open. It was graphic.

No body, no problem.

McCandlish is guilty.
