Dad! Correct.

I did not want this.

I'm fine.

How are you?

Please, don't argue.

It's my fault.

I told him.

Zach, can you go with Bruce?

Good to meet you.

Come on.

He's only here for a month. He's got a lot of things organised and we're going

to my sister's and then Italy if we can fit it in.

I've no objection to you taking him out for the day.

A week?

Where have you taken an interest in all of this?

What he wants, I think.

Mr Farmer might be available if you don't need his silk.

A Mercedes service... A document for discussion.

To everyone in chamber.

No, um, there's a distribution.

Well, it's not a distribution. Is that a problem?

Yeah.

Private and confidential.

The next chamber's meeting.

Right. Are you still there?

Yeah, I'm still here.

I haven't seen your place.

Are there still bailiffs camping outside?

I don't even know who you're living with.

Anyone?

I mean, who's going to look after him when you've got to wrap up to court?

I'll take a holiday.

I wouldn't mind one too.

You've never taken a day off, let alone a week.

I am living with someone.

Can I meet him?

Feeling relaxed.

She has got a gammy leg and she's running the wrong distance. It's a myth.

who dump on the track don't do any better.

£200 to win on number one, please.

£5 on number six, please.

Thank you.

Get on three, dog.

This is Donald Bell, Crown Prosecution Service.

Nice to meet you, Mr Bolt.

I'm treating you to this.

How much did you lose on that?

You've got it easy, you defence barristers.

Juries are so thick these days. I never thought juries were thick.

You try prosecuting.

Keeping a line of attack going while you're outside playing silly beggars.

Tough stuff.

It's not for you. You like an open goal.

I owe you a lot, Donald, but you're making me uncomfortable.

I need your special talent.

What do you like with children?

I'll be back to you later, Jacqueline.

Hello.

What's this?

Lessons?

I thought lessons were what children have.

I knew that one.

I'm a psychologist.

Hello,

Jacqueline.

You can't turn it down. It'll be the making of you. I never saw my vocation

prosecuting 12 -year -old girls for murder.

Have you done a deal with the revenue yet, sir?

No. So what?

You know who's defending her?

Old enemy of yours.

Morning.

Mr Farmer's looking for a junior.

On a child murder.

Nice grim one.

What, Jacqueline Livermore?

It's a difficult defence.

He's prosecuting.

May I remind you, sir, that Donald Bell kept you in business when you first

started? Yes, thanks for reminding me.

Of course, if you believe the girl is innocent, you can't possibly take it.

No.

Looks like a strong case.

£4 ,000 a year on chocolate biscuits?

Really prosecuting in Jacqueline Livermore?

Er, yes.

Yes, I think so. Why don't they want a silk?

Mystery to me.

I just think it would have been more tactful if you said you weren't

What's in that?

Words. Don't worry about it.

What should I worry about?

What's she up to?

It will never happen.

I think you ought to tell Ray Scanlon about this proposed reorganisation.

What's to tell? It's only a debating paper.

Is it?

Isn't it something you'd like to see happen?

Oh, they're all very conservative here. Probably won't get off the ground.

All the same, it is his life.

No.

I know you've been here a long time, but I'm not sure it's exactly the practice

manager's business how Chambers politics are handled.

Well, I suppose you'll find out soon or later.

I've walked into the wrong flat.

Wow.

You really fancy being a stepmother for a week, don't you? If I'm going to be

your live -in partner, it's got to be convincing.

Women know.

Oh, I found out where you hide your bills.

I can pay them all now.

Why, what you got?

Prosecuting in the Carrie Ann Davis murder.

Defends a child, doesn't she?

Not according to the law.

You're 12 years old?

She's the same age as Zach?

What about, what do you call it, Dolly and Capax?

Who's she, a country and western singer?

The O is long.

Henry.

Are you doing this for your career?

Mummy?

There's two sides to every case. That's justice.

Yeah, you can still choose which side.

Come on, this isn't you.

I can't get out of it.

It's for someone who gave me a lot of work when I needed it. And Livermore may

be very dangerous.

The dead girl's also a child.

So we'd better agree to differ, because I'm doing it.

I'm just waiting for Mr Farmer, and we'll have a short call.

Thank you, sir. That can be quite soon.

Mr Farmer, DCK Timmering. I'm your case officer, sir.

Carrie -Anne was a lovely little girl.

Never been in any trouble.

Nicest parents you could hope to meet.

She was an only child, too.

They're devastated.

Someday, this judge likes the kids to see where they're going to give evidence

and the court and all the gadgets.

Our witnesses?

Yeah, Ryan Eltham, his sister Mary, and their friend, Lena Betts.

Okay, this is the courtroom.

And you'll appear on those screens there.

That's creepy.

You'll be in a room upstairs.

There it is on screen.

All right.

Learn from that.

You'll be on screen all the time you're giving evidence, even when you're not

speaking or being asked a question, okay?

Come on.

Excuse me.

Are you a police officer?

Prosecuting counsel.

I'm their mum, Rhianna Mary's.

Look, they're good kids.

Don't let her counsel get at them.

They tell the truth, they'll be fine.

Right, Jimmy, this is where you sit when you give evidence, OK?

John there will look after you, so if there's anything you want, ask him.

I'll give you a tip.

Keep still.

If you fidget, you're less likely to be believed.

You'll only see three people on the telly. It'll be me, the defence counsel

the judge and we won't be wearing wigs.

Sometimes there's two of us.

Split screen.

So be brave, tell the truth and don't be intimidating.

Sorry, no physical contact with the children. You put your hand on her

And you pick your nose.

Everything all right, Henry?

The drawing Jacqueline did of Carrie -Anne's body looks just like the scene

Crime Picture.

Almost suggests she wanted to get caught.

It's certainly our trump card, but I wish we had a smidgen of her DNA

That's Marcel Crane and Deirdre Riley.

They're early.

I think we've got to cock up, sir.

You party lover!

This

is

ridiculous. We were told to come at 2 .30.

We came at the time we were told. You're early.

Surprise, surprise, Henry. Don't blame me for this, Marcel.

No bloody case has been like this.

Note what you've seen.

Don't worry, sir.

You'll make mint meat of Deirdre Riley.

She's an even worse liar than Livermore.

Some sort of gypsy connection, isn't there? Yeah, Jacqueline's mum. She ran

from the family and married a biker.

He's inside for a double killing.

Marcel hasn't shown his hand yet. What's your guess?

Oh, wasn't there, didn't do it.

You'll no doubt try to claim our kids are lying through their teeth.

Curious to know why you wanted me on this one, Don.

Open goal, Henry.

Come in.

No! Daddy!

No!

Why is mine?

You did a drawing at school of Carrie -Anne lying there dead.

What were you trying to say?

That was on the tape.

Wasn't it?

Why can't I go into the witness box?

Your barrister thinks you might be caught out not telling the truth.

They're lying.

Anyway, what do you know?

You're a shrink.

Let's talk about lies, shall we?

I told you.

I don't tell lies.

Never?

I can help you, Jacqueline.

Yeah?

Get the key.

Get us out of this place.

Well?

Go on.

I can tell them things that you want them to know.

Important things.

Vicar, corduroy, nabbed in soho for flashing his todger.

What you might call an open and shut case.

I read about that. He's a happy clappy.

Yeah, he might be a happy clappy, but he's not a happy chappy.

Don't give it to Henry. It needs tact.

Seem to be three witnesses who say they saw you behaving indecently.

Well, we can safely say that they were all lying, can't we?

It's an option.

But the jury have to believe us. Why wouldn't they believe me?

It's an ordeal, if you've never been on trial before.

I could say that I mixed up my prescription drugs, if you like.

And you get Viagra on prescription?

No, but my GP's a good friend.

How would that play?

Not great.

Anyway, having a semi -erect penis inside your trousers is one thing.

in a public street with it on full view is something else altogether.

Sorry, I have to be devil's advocate.

If you see what I mean.

On balance, I'd prefer to say that I didn't do it at all.

To be vaguely clear, you didn't approach a young man standing in a doorway into

Dan's court, unzip your flyers and show him your partially erect penis.

Confidentially, yes. So get me off the hook, men of the bus, please.

I've a lot of things going on.

You may know I'm a prominent anti -gay campaigner in the church.

Not sure that's a defence to this charge.

I'm against gays in the church.

What I do in my private life is my own business.

So, how do you want to approach this?

I've made a few notes.

Wow.

You've given me a number of alternatives.

I think I'm going to arrange for you to meet a colleague of mine.

I'm not paying for two of you.

You've just admitted to me that you did expose yourself, so if you want to plead

not guilty, I can't represent you.

Since when have lawyers taken the moral high ground?

When the church began confusing morals with ethics.

Excuse me?

This ain't just about chocolate biscuits.

The old way chambers is run.

Everything.

She'll put me on a salary instead of commission.

I tell you, sir, if I don't get my commission, I'm out of here and I'll

my junior clerks with me. Three generations we've been here.

There's chambers that kill for my contacts and my expertise.

£4 ,000 a year, how much is that a week?

£4 ,000 a year, that's the...

Get Ray to lighten that. Cleo won't get it through.

So what's this, Marcel, trying to hold up the trial?

My main child witness is saying she's had death threats.

She's just about your only witness, isn't she?

Ha, ha, ha. You saw Riley yourself. She's terrified.

It was fairly unedified all round.

I want to get my witnesses into court so the judge can see the difference

between witnesses who've been coached and ones who haven't. My witness has

coached. Who by?

Me.

Oh, you've a lot to learn about this, Henry.

You always put the defendant out. I wouldn't mind asking her a few

Much too vulnerable.

Could we not have heard about this before, Mr Crane?

Who is she saying is intimidating her?

The family of one of the prosecution witnesses, the Elthams. As a nice little

spoiler, my lady, this takes the biscuit.

These are very violent and disadvantaged children.

I'm surprised counsel is so innocent.

Mr Farmer, innocent?

There is an expression amongst my colleagues which my learned friend has

his name to.

I do object. It's called being craned, as in turning a trial into a circus to

make up for a weak case.

Do I hear the sweet sound of poacher turning gamekeeper?

We all like to hear that.

Is there any corroboration from the police that this intimidation has

happened? This is one of the most... prejudiced police operations I have ever

come across. They decided from day one that my client was guilty.

None of my witnesses have any faith in the police.

I'm sorry, if there is no evidence of intimidation or statement, then we must

begin. I can provide them almost immediately.

Justice waits for no man, Mr. Crane.

Wicked. Old father tense.

He can't walk, can he?

So, where is your new girlfriend? Not new, I'm afraid.

Oh, Henry's been his usual communicative self.

I thought you were still with your husband, Polly.

Here I am.

Well, that's the devil you know, I suppose.

Mum, look, it's really wide here.

Pleased to meet you, Polly. Hi.

What will you have?

Oh, anything.

We've got some juices. Do you want to come too?

Yes, please.

Zach, mobile phone bills.

I sent him. Apple, orange or black.

OK?

That's fine.

You told me she went back to her husband.

Yeah, she's always doing it.

Zach mustn't have any wheat or dairy, by the way.

That is, if I decide he can stay.

He'll be fine.

He's got asthma.

There you go.

He didn't have it two years ago.

I don't want him destabilized.

A week following Shane Warne around the Coliseum will give him eczema as well.

Okay. This isn't going to work.

Zach, what happened to the money your father gave you for the phone bills?

Did I forget?

Don't worry, I'll settle these, then we'll do it by direct debit, eh?

Would you like to come and see the room we've got for Zach?

It's a bit

cold

out there for a swim, eh?

How's it going?

It'll be all right when I can get her to relax for ten minutes.

Sorry.

Hope you spend it on something good.

Carrie Ann Davis's body was found on some

wasteland after an extensive search.

She was nine years old.

Carrie Ann died from a single blow to the head from a brick.

When the possibility of sexual assault was ruled out, the police turned their

attention to her friends.

At least three young witnesses say they saw Carrie Ann with the accused near the

wasteland on the afternoon of the day the body was found.

The police interviewed a number of children.

but Jacqueline Livermore was the only one who changed her story about her

movements.

A few days later, a distinctive orange bag, which had belonged to Carrie Ann,

was found hidden a few feet from the caravan where Jacqueline's aunt lived.

The defendant now changed her story again, saying others had taken the bag

hidden it to frame her.

But most damning of all, one of Jacqueline's teachers brought to police

attention.

A picture that Jacqueline had drawn at school.

It showed a little girl with fair hair, like the deceased, lying sprawled on the

ground with a red stain on the right -hand side of her head, in exactly the

position as Carrie -Anne's when she was found.

Jacqueline now changed her story for the final time.

She told police she'd seen the body, but had become frightened she might be

accused of the killing.

Let it go again.

I'd like to discuss an urgent matter. Ex parte in chambers.

He doesn't give up, does he?

What's Crane up to?

We know him, sir.

So do we.

This is Carrie -Anne's mum and dad, Jeff and Ellie.

Thank you.

Thank you.

I don't understand what's going on.

Why have we stopped?

It's just a short recess.

Do you know, Annie, she's been a rock to us.

And Kate, too.

We've done all we've done with her, Kate.

That cow's got a cheat showing her faith here.

She's worse than a murdering kid.

I have seen this social worker statement, Mr Craig.

The police have also interviewed the children accused of intimidating Deirdre

Riley. And I'm afraid they've come to the conclusion that there isn't enough

evidence.

With respect.

They would, wouldn't they?

Send in the clowns with respect.

I shall resume with the jury in the morning.

Thank you, gentlemen.

There's paper.

I like it, don't you?

Makes sense.

Good night.

I don't know how she does it. I know I don't like it.

Well, I could get a lot more money somewhere else.

I'll get to know Cleo better.

Flirt a bit.

You're a man of the world.

Sex.

Ray!

I'm starting work on that malicious wounding. You know, the Jamaican

businessman? There should be some papers coming over from Gobbert and Lamb. I've

forgotten his name. Do you know who I mean?

Hello?

Smith with a Y.

Should we sell them? Why,

that's it.

Oh, anybody know what bling means?

As in flashy, as in lots of gold.

Well, of course you'd know.

I'll need to get a new dictionary.

Go on.

I'm in conference with the accountant.

Henry, get it into people's heads that it's... not just about biscuits.

Why did you tell her we'd split up?

It's only a fortunate settlement.

My halo's still looking a bit rusty.

The jury's out on that one.

I'm sorry what I said about the money.

So where is hubby, exactly?

Mongolia.

On an MP's fax. finding freebie.

So he really is in remission.

When are you moving in forever?

Get a message?

No.

No?

Well, I've written a list of do's and don'ts.

We haven't got away on our own for ages, so I'd say yes to the hotel or lose the

chance.

You haven't changed your mind?

No. Well,

we've got to do things in the car.

Okay.

You're doing a murder trial, aren't you?

I heard your name on the news.

Don't tell your mum.

Can I come and watch?

No. What am I going to do?

Don't worry.

We'll have a great time.

This murder trial, it's kids, isn't it? I heard it on the radio.

Did she do it?

Are you going to get her off?

Probably.

I'm prosecuting.

Listen to me.

She hasn't packed it.

Try it again. Deep breath.

We'd better get him to hospital.

No, let a bit out.

Now hold it.

There's a way of breathing out of panic attacks. It works for asthma too.

Try and breathe normally now.

Anything else we should know?

Selina Betts' witness statement.

Selina, if you could just tell us what happened in your own words, OK?

Carrie -Anne had a little orange bag.

It looked like a rucksack.

It was nice.

I said somebody was going to take it off her.

I saw Jacqueline with it in the morning.

I went when I found Carrie.

Switch on, please.

Mr Crane?

You saw Jacqueline in some sort of bag?

What was she doing with it?

She just had it.

Can you tell the court what you saw?

She was just walking along with an orange bag.

If that doesn't sound very real, paint a picture for me.

Not literally.

Was she playing with it?

Did she have it over her shoulders?

Was she swinging it about?

She just had it in her hand.

Was it full? Was it empty?

I don't know.

You didn't see Jacqueline Livermore with that bag at all, did you?

Yes, I did.

Did Ryan Anselm tell you to say that, or his sister?

No. You do what they tell you, don't you? Remember, you're talking to a

Mr Crane.

Oh, you get hurt, don't you?

No. You're lying, aren't you, Selina? No. I can't talk to her like that.

Right, so who's threatening your kids, Annie?

Deirdre Riley told my Mary if Jacqueline gets off, she's going to slit her

throat.

Well, aren't you going to report it?

My kids are scared now.

Deirdre Riley was saying your kids were threatening her.

Are you saying you don't believe my kids?

But they're your witnesses.

You're too soft for this.

This seems a bit too attack to me.

What statement, sir?

I'll take them, but the judge will say the same.

I'm starting to worry about the Elton family, Kate.

Reverend Cawdrey decided you weren't good enough for him, though I know the

truth. Then he wants a QC.

Who did he get?

Ray told him it was Steen's fee, so he changed his mind again and opted for Mr

Bracewell. Then Mr Bracewell fell out with him.

I think he's a bit... And don't tease Ray.

It's a very sensitive time for him.

What's he doing?

He's fine.

I don't want him sitting in a corner somewhere playing video games.

We're just coming out of the National Gallery.

He's really enjoyed it.

Henry, you're not in the National Gallery. What are you doing? Meet your

Zach? Where are you? In chambers playing video games.

Oh, Henry.

You're looking very delightful today, Miss.

Thank you, Ray.

Not a flicker. I wasn't flirting.

That was a statement of fact.

Yeah, well...

I'm not like you, look.

I can't get away with it. She likes a bit of rough.

It's the rough with the schmooze, Ray.

Right, let's go.

Have a look through all that case material. See if we can get any more of

orange bag.

Come on.

So you went to the shop to buy cigarettes. What happened then?

We were playing at the back of our flats.

Three of us.

This little girl, Carrie -Anne, came up to us.

But I didn't know her that well.

She said, Jack, leave them all there, sir.

She didn't say why she'd done it. She just showed us the marks.

And then what happened?

Carrie -Anne played with us for a while.

And then we had to go back for tea. But she wanted to come with us.

She said she was frightened.

Then Jacqueline comes up.

The last thing I thought was Jacqueline and Carrie -Anne going to the wasteland

beyond the sports center.

Well, I didn't see what happened after that.

Why would Carrie -Anne want to come with you, Ryan?

I don't know.

Why choose you if she's frightened?

You have to answer the question.

She just wanted to.

But you're known as a bully, aren't you?

I've never bullied no one.

You've been suspended from school for hitting another child.

Well, he hit me first.

According to your teacher, you nearly knocked him out.

Well, it was just a fight.

You're lying about seeing Jacqueline and Carrie -Anne, aren't you?

Mr Crane.

No. I saw them.

We'll break for lunch, no?

Resume at 2 .05. Thank you.

Are you still calling me the moor's aunt?

Why do you ask?

She says Jacqueline was at her caravan at the time of death, doesn't she?

Well, of course we're calling her. Apart from Deirdre Riley, she's our only

alibi. In that case, I won't object if you just entered Deirdre Riley's

as a statement.

I'm kosher, Marcel. I mean it.

Why did she kill her?

Jacqueline probably nicked her bag. Carrie Anne...

Unless she really did find the body and ran away.

Believable.

If you were the jury.

What did you think of Jacqueline? Did you like her?

Oh, she was all right.

She was all right?

Didn't you call her slag?

Bitch?

Dirty gypsy? Cut the video.

Where is this going, Mr. Crane?

I'm trying to establish that Jacqueline Livermore and her friend were

relentlessly bullied, milady. We have a statement from Deidre Riley that Elton

called her a retard, too.

I suppose you can be allowed to continue, but I doubt the relevance of

Switch it on again, please.

You bullied Jacqueline Livermore far more than she bullied you or anyone

No, I didn't.

You're a liar. You have lied to the police throughout, and that's why the

defendant is in court today.

Mr. Crane, the witness is not on trial.

I put it to you that you are incapable of telling the truth.

No, I always tell the truth, sir.

Mr Farmer?

Ryan, you know why we asked you to come to court today?

Yeah.

Tell us why.

Because I saw Jacqueline go off with Carrie -Anne.

You stand by what you saw and what you told the police.

Why do you think Carrie -Anne asked you to take her home?

Because I could look after her.

Ever call Jacqueline names?

No, never.

She just thought everyone was a gangster.

Thank you, Ryan.

Our kids seem to be holding up well, sir.

I'll see you in a minute.

Find anything about the bag?

You know, something.

It's not quite what I expected.

In D .C. Emory's notebooks.

Interviews a woman on the estate.

Woman says she saw a girl with an orange rucksack on the afternoon of the

murder. Emory writes, not J .L. or C .A.

Not Jacqueline Livermore or Carrie Ann.

Woman says she saw a girl with long, straight, light brown hair.

Then, statement, question mark.

Not followed up or disclosed? No.

That sounds like Mary Elton.

Given that she's one of our witnesses, we'd better keep still, hadn't we? We

can't.

It's crucial to the defence if someone other than Jacqueline had that bag.

Polly Rang.

What's Cranes Jr.

called? Athif Masood. I was at college with him.

She says you've got to join her at this chemist.

What are you talking about?

I can't make head nor tail of it.

If I was running the defence, I could blow us out of the water with this.

We have to disclose.

It does seem a bit serious.

I'm in court, Mo.

Well, anyway, I wrote down what she said.

Well, I've got

something that might put a smile on your face.

I've got something for you.

I'm calling an expert witness.

Sorry about the short notice.

You're calling a shrink.

This doesn't give us any time. That's unfair. We'll object.

Don't waste your breath. The judge won't shut out defence evidence.

And he'll ever accuse Marcella of being fair.

Look after that, Paul.

What's happened?

Well, I haven't called the police yet.

Listen, I don't know what he's done, but he's never been in any trouble before.

He's put a lot of expensive stuff in his bag.

I don't know if I can just let him go like that.

What were you thinking of?

I don't know, I just... You've got everything back.

I'm really sorry.

I've never done this before.

Most little hounds go for sunglasses or batteries.

Go on.

And I don't want to see you in here again.

Thanks. Let's leave the why for a minute. What did you take?

Come on, Zach.

Meek up.

I had my dinner, and I went to put up the front of the flats.

Jacqueline Livermore was there.

She had a new bag.

What sort of bag?

Like a backpack.

And what colour was it? Orange.

Mr Halliwell?

Afternoon, sir.

You interviewed a woman called Janet Rogerson?

Yes, an old lady. So you know her?

No. She saw a girl who wasn't Livermore or Carrie -Anne with an orange rucksack

on the same day. A description of this girl fits Mary Elton. Why didn't you get

her to the station to give her statement?

I didn't think it was significant.

Jacqueline said Mary and Ryan's for the bag. It corroborates her statement. Her

statement's all lies.

Are you saying I didn't have any surprise? I would never do that.

Come take a position on what's important and what's not. It doesn't matter now,

but it has to be disclosed.

There's no way we want to give them that notebook.

I already have.

I don't believe I'm hearing this. It doesn't matter.

If it's vital to the defence, they have to have it. They'll use it. If they have

any sense, they'll want to find this woman right now. And when they ask

permission to call her, I'll have to say yes.

I promised Carrie and Mum we'd find out who did it.

Jacqueline Livermore killed that little girl. We know she did.

Kate.

You kind of reminded me why we have a criminal justice system.

If she gets off, you'll have more deaths on your conscience, Mr Farmer.

When you asked Jacqueline who the bag belonged to, what did she say?

She said it was hers.

Did you believe her, Mary?

No.

Why don't you believe her? She ain't got no money.

Has she ever taken things from you?

Yes. What things?

Pencil case.

Trainers. But they didn't fit her, so she threw them back at us.

Kept with Hollywood on it.

Sweets.

She's always taken sweets from us.

And why don't you stop her?

She's bigger than me.

Didn't you report the theft?

You're joking.

Why not?

They don't do nothing.

Thank you.

Mr Crane?

No questions.

Why the hell didn't he ask for an adjournment or go after Mary Elton?

Apart from the fact he can't cross -examine kids to save his life, I

clue.

What's the exit poll say?

Cleo's got a working majority, I'd say.

People vote with their wallets.

And she's got the accountants on site.

Sorry.

Thank you, Mr Shannon.

When I became your head of chambers, I made a pledge to modernise.

With our fees falling in so many areas, the last thing we want are old,

inefficient practices.

Glad you could join us, Henry.

In a conventional chambers like ours, the senior clerk runs a business within

business. No fixed hours of work, no obligation to obey orders. In short, we

have limited control over both him and the junior clerks he employs.

Which, for a control freak, must be very... Now, I feel confident, as your

head of chambers, you'll back me. But we must debate this properly and

democratically. And then do what I say.

So...

I propose to change the basis on which we operate.

Namely, to no longer pay the senior clerk a percentage of our fees, but to

him a salary instead.

And also, pay the junior clerks on a scale.

Now this, together with a few more routine issues, makes up the package on

we need to agree.

Henry?

I'm sorry, I can't really go for this as it stands. It goes against the grain.

Oh, come on, Henry. Chamber, the spirit, the collective.

I must just add that neither I nor indeed many of us here want to see Reyes

Gamlin leave.

And I'm sure with a little arm -twisting he can be persuaded to accept a new

deal and a substantial salary.

I just want to know why we can't have chocolate biscuits.

without tea, without someone looking over our shoulder to see who's taking

rather than one.

I'm sure we can come to an agreement about that small part.

This catering and domestic budget's all part of the master plan, isn't it? Stand

or fall together?

Yes, but we're only talking about biscuits.

Judging by the applause I got on the biscuit issue, I'd say there's a fair

of latent opposition in the air, Cleo.

It's all being rather rushed through.

I don't have a great head for figures. I need the implications explained.

How much will it affect us if the senior clerk loses his incentive?

For example, you may not like football agents, but they do rather well for

clients. For those of us who are not silks...

and therefore don't automatically get top whack, and I believe that

a majority of us, a motivated senior car is vital. So I propose

we just take a bit more time to consider this. Seconded.

Those in favour?

And against?

Both encouraged.

Well...

I'm extremely disappointed, obviously.

And, um, well, I hope I can persuade you all to reconsider before too long.

However, I defer to Chambers.

Jacqueline Livermore has been unnervingly calm throughout, and the low

atmosphere of the trial is in stark contrast to the grave crime she is

of committing.

When he says you're going to give him some evidence, that means you'll lose

case.

But you can't do that.

You look like a brat.

Why are you nicking things from shops?

Angry with me?

You can be.

Both of you.

But why try to bankrupt a chemist?

And why...

Oh, forget it.

I'm looking at kids all kill over a designer bag because they've got

She didn't do it.

She's crazy, anyone can see that.

The way she is in court.

You've been in court?

Sorry, stuck in the public gallery.

But we got thrown out in the end.

She said I was 14.

After what you've been giving me?

I wanted him to be proud of you.

If a 12 -year -old can go down for murder, they're old enough to watch a

So what's this make -up all about?

We were in the shop next door and he slipped out.

I only took my eyes off him for two minutes.

He wants to give me a present and his mum hasn't given him any spending money.

Oh, well, that's all right.

Hi, and welcome to the...

You know, it's still a place where the unwary tourist needs to be very, very

careful.

Shall I wake him up?

No, let him sleep.

Don't look so relieved. It's still theft.

Well, if I don't know what theft is, nobody does.

Good old Henry.

Mr Farmer knows what he's talking about.

What do you think?

Are your

clients just coming?

What's the solicitor's name? Blonde?

Bond? Shand.

Shand.

There.

Ah, Ben Halliwell. Don't think we're going to get a divorce?

No. Vickers exposing themselves, will it, Orland?

The question seems to be, was he half stiff or half limp?

Ah, you're the solicitor, and you're the, uh... not wearing your dog collar.

Anyway, look, I've read the statement. All we had to do is to go for the

witnesses. Pimps, couriers, the business room from Leicester. What was he doing

there, for example? Probably drunk.

Good, good.

Well, I'm at the dawn of a career. I can take advice.

Zach?

What?

He's not here.

He wasn't in bed.

He must have gone out before we woke up.

Witness statement from defence witness Deidre Riley, milady.

I was with Jacqueline all afternoon.

Ryan Elton was there. He called us names.

Mary Elton said we were scum. She said they was bosses and we had to do what

said.

And then what happened?

He kicked me, but he never kicked Jacqueline, because Jacqueline's bigger

him, and she'd kick him back.

And did you see Carrie -Anne?

No, we never saw Carrie -Anne. We never nicked nothing of hers, because she's

not in the Elton's posse.

And what did you do after that?

We had tea at Jacqueline's aunt's. And what time was that?

About 4 .30.

We had baked beans.

And then Jacqueline was still there when I left at 6.

You look stressed out, Henry.

I can't believe that girl couldn't have come here under protection and faced

cross -examination.

I've got the fate of an innocent 12 -year -old in my hands and an opponent

his tongue so far up the judge's backside they wouldn't believe it in a

film. I should be your new best friend.

Didn't my junior give yours some interesting stuff yesterday?

Oh, yes, that.

You didn't fall over.

Didn't it suggest to you Livermore might be telling the truth?

She's incapable of telling the truth.

That's why she's got into this mess.

And why we're not calling her out.

That is seriously out of order, Marcel.

I'm not putting her out for you to make mincemeat of.

She doesn't know the truth from a bottle of beer, either. And you put an expert

witness on me at two seconds' notice, and I've just landed the ball in your

in a six -yard mark?

On your defence?

You'd like to try, wouldn't you?

I know you, Henry, and anything you're likely to disclose.

He said, enter Deidre Riley's statement as long as you call the art. Well, you

can go and boo -hoo to the judge if you like.

No, that's your game.

What were your first impressions of the defendant?

I believe she has a personality disorder which makes it impossible for her to

live in the real world.

She is always free because she exists in another world.

What kind of a world?

A happier world.

One that she's created in her own mind.

Why has she created it?

To escape unhappiness.

She's been on the at -risk register more or less all her life because of

frequent beatings by her father.

And the persistent lying, could you tell me about this inability to tell the

truth? It's very easy to see how someone like Jacqueline can get into trouble.

She has a lie ready for the most innocent contradictions.

What would be the consequences of that?

She might appear to the police to be the archetypal guilty person because she

would walk into every trap they set for her.

So, her guilty behaviour, her changing of the story, her drawing of the

picture, what do they mean?

They're all symptoms of a personality disorder.

If she saw the body, she would certainly behave as if she was the killer.

Can you explain her behaviour?

She appears detached, and her evasions can seem very calculating.

Even now I can see her smiling, but that doesn't mean that she's happy.

Certainly doesn't mean that she's callous.

Her aggression tends to be reactive.

Her apparent unconcern isn't callousness, it's otherworldliness.

She has escaped into a private world, and in the face of these accusations and

the full force of the law, she has retreated further.

She's a child.

A vulnerable child.

I think he must have jumped.

Can you get an adjournment?

I just heard about your kid.

Sorry. Look, I have no objection to an adjournment.

You say Jacqueline's personality stems from her unhappiness. Can you explain

she's unhappy?

Well, there are a number of things that she's talked to me about.

Her mother has been rejected by her own family because she didn't marry another

gypsy. She and her mother have also been subjected to violence on the estate and

arson attacks because they are considered gypsies.

Her mother has promised her many times that she would leave the estate and her

father, but she never has.

And then, of course, her father was sent to prison.

And is this significant to her state of mind?

Yes, I think she's been badly let down and has escaped into her own world. All

her answers reflect this. And, in your opinion, this partly exonerates her?

Yes.

So with this grim and violent upbringing, she might have resentments

very deep.

I meant her lying. I'm only talking about exonerating her from that. Lots of

children lie, and some steal.

But children who've been beaten at home...

Often become violent, don't they?

It isn't causal.

What do you mean it isn't causal? Can you answer in words the jury understand?

I mean it doesn't follow that if someone gets beaten and repressed, they'll beat

someone else.

I'm saying people who are violent are very often being physically abused.

that right?

I meant if she hit anyone, it was reactive.

Reactive? What does that mean?

In response to somebody else's aggression.

I don't believe she has instigated violence.

I was asked for my expert opinion, that's what I'm giving.

Did you give your expert opinion in the case of a young man called Justin

Robbins who was acquitted of sexual assault?

Yes. And did it subsequently come to light that you'd failed to tell the

that Robbins had confessed to you that he had previously raped two girls?

Yes, it was a mistake and I bitterly regret it. Because Robbins went on to

another girl, didn't he?

There were unusual circumstances, which I don't want to go into.

Don't let's go into them. I wouldn't make the same mistake again.

Did you ask Livermore if she'd killed Carrie -Anne?

No. That isn't my job at all.

But you seem very certain of her innocence.

I'd say you were passionately on her side, isn't that right?

She was very clear that she hadn't done this.

She told you that, did she?

Yes, I didn't solicit it. She told me.

With respect, she would say that, wouldn't she?

No. In this case, you... I mean one can still tell.

One can still believe.

Isn't that right?

I don't mean that.

It's all. Thank you.

Thank you, Mrs Graydon.

He's not going to die, is he?

He sleepwalks.

I should have told you.

It's okay.

It's just a concussion and a broken ankle.

Thanks.

Don't

you

feel up to it? We'll go home, okay?

I don't want to go home.

Livermore stole Carrie -Anne's bag.

And when Carrie -Anne threatened to go to the police, she killed her with a

single blow from a brick.

And from then on told nothing but lies, real, calculated lies, to get herself

off the hook.

That completes the case for the prosecution.

Closing speech in a lost cause, if there's any justice.

I don't mind if he wants to stay another week.

Another week?

While you've been looking after him, he's been caught shoplifting.

Got into the public gallery for a murder trial and nearly broke his neck.

Yeah.

That's been a bit of a handful.

Well, I suppose we've still got the weekend.

The defence does not dispute that Jacqueline Livermore painted this

Or that she had seen Carrie -Anne's body.

Or that she had changed her story to the police.

He's in the hospital.

He's out of quarantine. Her lying is literally pathological.

and upon the count of murder do you find the defendant guilty or not guilty

guilty and is that the verdict

of you all it is

Congratulations,

Henry. You were perfect, as I thought you would be.

Calm and reasonable while a crane blew a gasket.

You're not funny.

You did.

Good for us.

Rate of conviction in child offences is very low, you know. I'm not exactly

crying. I thought that psychologist was a load of balls.

She made a lot of sense to me.

The jury trusted you.

Advocacy won it.

Oh, Livermore will be wrapped in cotton wool till she's 18, given a decent

education, and then let loose with a new name. And spend the rest of her life

running away from the tabloids.

Oh, by the way, I've got something else on the horizon.

You interested?

No, thanks, Donald.

Paid my due.

Nice performance in the wounding, miss.

Thank you, Ray.

Smith with a Y was rather charming in the end.

Did it, of course.

You're right.

Modernise. I'm all for it.

A gym. Gym in the basement, maybe. Maybe a juice bar.

I'll keep myself very fit.

Circuits, weights, Nordic.

I wouldn't mind doing a spot of personal training.

Not you, personally.

You're in great shape.

Some I could mention here.

Yes.

Well, I'll give it very serious thought.

Oh.

Ray Scanlon has dyed his hair. He's wearing an earring. He's coming on to

Gone completely mad.

You think it's a good idea, don't you?

You don't?

It's just to form a sense of humour.

Mmm.

Oh.

Nearly forgot.

Thanks, Henry.

For that one.

Very good for the heart, red wine.

Sent a couple of crates to your home.

Henry, two things you should not do.

Bet and prosecute.

Because you've got to enjoy putting people away.

Don't let your dad see you.

Go on, get down, yeah?

That's a boy.

Now you, listen to me. The one who knows.

Cut out a thieving.

Otherwise you'll lead a miserable life and you'll go straight to hell.

Whatever he says, don't believe a word of it.
