- You don't expect me to
connect with this community

from behind tinted windows?

- Packed his bags in the small
hours never to be seen again.

- Spreading malicious gossip
about the judge's private life,

isn't gonna benefit any of us.

- Stuff the press!

Do you really think I
give a monkeys about them?

- They don't come much
worse than Jake Little.

- You've got a kid.
- A daughter.

I tried to trace her a few years
back,

but it was too late, she died.

- Excuse me, love?

- Thanks.

- It's the fourth local business

to have suffered an arson
attack.

Adam was on his way to
the late night shop,

when the police arrested him.

He denies being involved.

He's never been in trouble
before.

He recently had a trial
for Tranmere Rovers.

- We won't hold that against
him.

- He also denies being part of a
gang.

- but the police believe that
Mr. Fielding

knows who is responsible
for these attacks?

- He refutes that allegation,
sir.

- People die in arson attacks.

Not striking the match doesn't
mean you are not guilty.

On the contrary, you would

be considered equally
responsible.

- Sir, there have been threats
made to Adam and his family.

- I never said that, when did I
say that?

- Mr. Fielding I'll ignore that
outburst,

but let me tell you how
we do things around here.

You wait until you are spoken
to.

Otherwise you will be
in contempt, understand?

Do you understand, Mr. Fielding?

- Yes, sir.

- Thank you, continue Ms.
- Duncan?

- The family have experienced
animosity,

from certain sections of the
community.

Adam's mother's finding it
difficult

keeping Adam home at night.

Her biggest fear is that peer
pressure

could be detrimental to Adam's
future.

- Why did you run when
you saw the police car?

- I didn't wanna get lifted.

Police think everybody round
here is up to something'.

- You still mad at me?

- You still working for Jake?

- All right then, come with me.

- What?
- Come to work with me.

You can borrow something

new if you want, they're
gorgeous.

- One of Jake's pressies, no
thanks.

- It's just a regular job
Sharna,

but if you don't believe me.

- All right then, you're on.

But I'm in charge of the
jukebox.

- I'd like to impose a
curfew for the next 28 days.

If you are caught on the streets
between

nine P.M. and seven AM.. Mr.
Fielding,

you will be breaking the law.

Then you will be lifted
and we shall meet again.

Miss Duncan will explain the
procedure.

- I'll take a few minutes out.
- All rise.

- Alright, look, before I call
the police,

is there anyone I can call for
you?

- This is Sarah Myerson,
sir, she wanted a word.

Sarah runs the Sketch
Lane Community Centre.

I've mentioned it before?

- Ah yes, Mrs. Myerson, please
come in.

- I'll be honest I've mouthed
off

about this place with the rest
of 'em.

I've called you not fit to burn.

- Do you don't mind if I?

- What you just did in
there was brilliant.

Adam won't lose face, now.

Can I be cheeky and ask a
favour?

- A favour?

- Would you to endorse
a letter to the council

on behalf of Josie Fielding,
about re-housing them?

- I'm sorry I don't know
enough...

- You wouldn't have to
write it, I'd do it.

I'll spell out all the
why's and wherefores,

and you just put your name to
it, yeah?

- Are you here in a professional
capacity?

- Would a title make me more
legit?

- Sarah's been a real thorn in
our sides

on occasion but she's
champion round here, sir.

- Here's my email address.

- Thank you, I'll sort it
when I've got a minute.

- Madonna is like, 55 or
something.

- Check on YouTube, she's
robbed everything, seriously.

- I thought you said
he was over the water.

- He was, I swear.

- Eh don't leave on my account.

Suit yourself, we know where you
live.

Did you find something funny?

- You know people have got a lot
of

respect for that woman,
we should utilise it.

We could have an open day there.

Emphasis on the youth,
let her show the way.

We could do a lot worse than
have

The Sketch Lane community on our
side.

- Okay, put something on paper.

- Sir, I'm still concerned
about that other thing.

- The other thing?

- Your daughter, if we
don't broach the subject.

- No.

- It's gonna look like we
are trying to hide something.

- No one's business but mine.

- Not if that reporter
keeps sniffing round.

She's already been
hanging round Father Jim.

They'll go to town on you.

- Nothing I can't handle.

- Oh really, what, "Judge's
daughter left to die

in life of drugs and
prostitution", you can handle that?

- Oh Alice, not again.

Let me give Father Jim a call.

- No.
- All right.

There's been no harm done.

Is it really necessary
to phone the police?

- Those watches are
worth nearly four grand.

- Do you realise how many

first class restaurants
there are in Liverpool?

- Don't change the subject.

This is what I wanted, we're
fine.

- You may be, I'll get
indigestion

if you carry on giving me grief.

- I'd like to see you settled, a
wife.

- Oh please?

- I sometimes worry that
you might have regrets?

- Life gives us opportunities,

we either take them or we don't.

Thanks to you I did, it's why I
came back.

If my life can change.

- I'm talking about
things we didn't discuss.

- There's no need really.

- What about Mary, your
daughter.

Do you never feel curious
about the details?

- "No point in looking back",
you said that, remember?

- Well maybe I was wrong.

- Don't go pulling the
sympathy card with me now.

- I haven't been exactly
straight with you.

And it's doesn't sit right.

Over there,

I think it's about time
you paid your respects.

After the headstone was
defaced, I made inquiries.

And found that Mary had a
daughter.

She was taken into care when
she was seven years old.

- I have a grandchild and
you didn't think to tell me?

- It was impossible to get

any information from social
services.

- I was in a far more
advantageous position than you.

- And then it was Christmas,
then I was in hospital

with the pneumonia
thing, and then you know.

- I'm trying to give you the
benefit of the doubt here, Jim.

- I should have told you Pat.

- What stopped you?

- I thought of you as a
son, fathers make mistakes.

- Answer the question.

- I was ashamed.

Pushing you for university,

all the time irrespective
of the consequences.

And then I tried to play God,
over Mary.

And when I found out about the
child.

- Which local authority was she
with?

- Dovefield Social Services.

I wrote everything down
on a scrap of paper.

I made more inquiries but
without a name it's, Pat?

- It's not worth the
man-power, or the cost.

Just get a bucket of water.

There's no personal references,
no psychiatric report.

- There's nothing wrong
with me, just a bad person.

- Mrs. Sparks has refused all
requests

to offer extenuating
circumstances, sir.

- People usually plead
guilty to show willing,

to get a lesser sentence, you
seem intent on punishment.

You here alone today, is
there's anyone with you?

Well your grand-daughter,
Angela?

- I don't have any contact with
her, sir.

- Well whatever Mrs.
- Sparks is not telling us

it's obvious that her
circumstances have

dramatically changed
during the last six months.

Would you like to speak to
me in private, Mrs. Sparks?

No, well, You've never been on
benefits,

there's no criminal record prior

to the recent shoplifting
charges.

In your opinion what would be

the most beneficial outcome
today?

- A full assessment to try to

establish the change
in circumstances, sir.

- And what are we talking about?

- Two weeks?
- You have three days.

Mrs. Sparks I advise you
to take this opportunity

in the spirit in which
it is being offered.

We want to help you.

So until we meet to discuss the
report,

it is a condition of your
discharge

that you stay away from
Liverpool One.

Or I will consider a custodial
sentence, you may leave.

- I thought the Rogues
Gallery' was a rookies job?

- Just taking some time out from

a really big story I'm
working on actually.

- Yeah?
- An investigative piece.

- Let's hope it's not a
complete waste of time.

Or you could end up doing the
horoscopes.

- You going on somewhere, after
work?

- Party in Manchester.

Loads of rich people are gonna
be there.

- What? Seriously, what?

- Drugs, gangsters and guns.

- I thought you were my mate.

- I am, just can't believe

you're falling for his chatter.

- Why won't you believe
there's more to him?

- Yeah, right.

- Ask the lads down the boxing
club,

he's paying for all their gear.

- So they'll jump when
he clicks his fingers.

Can't you see Jake's...

- Jake! Jake! You bang on about
him

a bit too much for my liking.

- What are you goin on about?

- You and Jake, he said he'd
been getting

loads of vibes off you, lately.

- And you believed him?

You are seriously off your head,
Kaz.

Proper off your head, he's scum.

And you're stupid
because you can't see it.

- Jake's right.
- Right about what?

- You're a jealous little
skank just like you mum.

- Let's play it by ear,
give it half an hour, tops.

- Bloody hell.

- They're my guests okay?

Great, let's all play nice then.

Drink judge?

You're a jealous little
skank just like your mum.

Drug', gangsters and
guns.

Jake, you bang on about
him

a bit too much for my liking.

They don't come
much worse than Jake Little.

- I had to learn which
grants to apply for,

how to get matching funding.

- Boxing clever as they say.

- I was terrible at school.

- Nothing wrong with being a
late starter.

- I couldn't even talk to people
like you.

Ged, sort her out or take her
home,

there are little kids about.

But now ask me anything
about social policy,

economic policy, the benefit
system?

- It sounds like you manage this
place,

why stay a volunteer?

- Once you step into that
bureaucratic nightmare.

- Tell me about it.

- Ticking boxes and signing
chitties

isn't what I'm interested in.

I'd rather make a difference.

- You're a day early.

- So what exactly
happens here, day to day?

- Varies, an after school club,

early birds subsidised cafe,

young mums club on a Wednesday,

pensioner's bingo lunch
Thursday.

- Edna was telling me about
your famous Friday nights.

- People can't afford to
go to town for a night out

so we usually make a big pan of
scouse.

- I hear she makes a fantastic
curry.

- Or Italian, we stick
candles on the table,

have a few bottles of wine,
maybe have a sing-song.

We're quite European actually.

- It's got a nice feel to it,
this place.

- People have to fight for
something, they tend to care.

- That's the ethos I'd like to
create at the Justice Centre.

- Good luck with that one!

- Well it's not impossible.

We need to work together,

change the way the community
sees itself.

And people have to have
a little faith in us.

- There lies your problem.

Most people I know don't trust
the system.

- Well, that's where you
could help to alleviate it.

I mean Joe and I could
come down here one day,

and talk people about what we
do.

- A PR exercise, you mean, no
thanks.

- No, not at all.

- The laws' never done anything
for us.

- Never doesn't mean ever,
I will make things right.

Even if I have to bend
the rules now and then.

- That's all she can manage this
month.

That's cheap gold, not worth
much.

- You're that Judge aren't you?

- Patrick Coburn.

- Your recent driving
ban on the curb crawlers

round the North end,
was a stroke of genius.

No more punters equals
no more sex workers.

- Problem solved, eh?
- Something had to be done.

- You taking driving licences
off half a dozen blokes

won't actually help the girls
though.

They've had to move out to

Marsh Lane Industrial
Estate, now, do you know it?

It's miles from anywhere, no
cameras,

it's dead dark, dangerous,
unless they've got

a patron which is a whole
different ball game.

But the single ladies have to
risk it.

- No one denies it's not
complex.

- It's pretty simple.

Get a dodgy punter who
gets off on smacking women,

there's no doors to knock on for
help.

No cars to flag down, no one to
hear her

screaming when she's
getting a good kicking.

It's just a matter of time

before one of 'em ends up
murdered.

- You clearly have strong
opinions.

- I know where I come from.
- So what would you do?

It's a perfectly valid
question, seriously?

- Girls on the street,
not in parlours or hotels,

on the street it's always drug
related.

I'd start with that, take
an holistic approach.

- Places on rehabilitation
programmes are few and far between.

- Tell me about it, unless
you've got the money.

- What's the collection for?

Did I say something?

- A friend of mine, she
was our cleaner here.

Her grand-daughter's in trouble,

she borrowed money from the
wrong source.

You were talking to her before?

Her Nan is helping her clear the
debt.

Save her from a beating.

We have a collection here
for them whenever we can.

How much are we
talking about?

Was five grand,
now it's 10 and climbing.

She's all she's got, she
lost her son to drugs.

So she'll beg, steal,
borrow to save this one...

- Literally.
- Alice Sparks?

- I never mentioned any names.

- Who are they in hock to, off
the record?

I may be able to help.

- Send Jake Little away

and you'll help a lot
of people around here.

There's a fine line
between community spirit

and being a grass, you know.

- Come on, that's your
mates doing that, come on!

- How's your back?
- Fine.

- How did you get on
with the Social Services?

- I didn't come to talk about
that.

- Whatever you did come to talk
about?

- Do you know a woman called
Alice Sparks?

- Get out, go on get out!

- You know what they say about

the mountain coming to the
Prophet, Alice?

Not that I'm equating
myself with a Prophet.

- He'd have her on the
streets if he could.

No matter where she goes, in
this city.

- Mrs Sparks.
- He'll find her.

- I have to pay him.
- Hear him out Alice.

- Look, the only way out of this

with the least possible damage.

- Do you know what it feels
like,

to outlive your own child?

Well I do, so I won't
risk losing my grandchild.

- Look, this conversation never
happened

but I've been invited
to a Lord Mayor's event.

The Chief Constable will be
there.

If I can persuade him to make
Jake Little

a priority then he'll make sure

that your granddaughter is...

- Half of 'em drink in Little's
club.

- You must stop making the
payments.

- You don't understand.

- Look if Little & his
cronies go after Angela...

- No!

- It'll give the police
a reason to delve into...

- They don't care about us!

- And start a thorough
investigation.

Which may result in Little being
sent...

- They know what he's up to.

We're on our own.

- She's not going to agree to
it.

- Then the next time Alice is
caught.

- There must be something you
can do?

- Stealing is unlawful, there's
no getting away from it.

Angie will take full
responsibility for the debt.

If you go to prison.

- I know she will, that's
what I'm worried about.

- Please, I could never do that!

- Then drive to Birmingham.

I'll sort you out with a set of
wheels.

- That's not...

- Pick up one small package for
me.

You're there and back in the
same day,

no one's any the wiser, it'll be
a doddle.

I'll even treat you to a little
sample eh.

It's top notch gear.

- Just cut me a bit of slack,
on the interest, Jake, please.

- I've always had a
soft spot for you Angie.

But you're getting a
bit too cheeky, lately.

I've given you two options,
choose one.

- Your timing is good, I've
just made a pot of tea.

Where've you been?

You've been to see him.

- He wants me to do one job.

- You're not.
- Then I won't.

- No.
- Owe him anything.

- Whatever stupid things
you've done Angela,

you've only ever hurt yourself.

He'll get his hooks into you
again.

You're a good person, he's not.

- Being good isn't enough
though, Nan, it's not.

- If it wasn't for people like
him,

your dad would still be alive.

Dealing with Jake Little only
ever

leads down the one path.

Promise me you'll remember that.

Promise me.

- I promise.

Then you promise not to put

yourself on the line for me,
again.

- It's not happening fast
enough, Joe.

The results aren't justifiable.

- Things take time to filter
down.

- Things are not right at the
top.

Look at the issue with sex
workers.

- Sex workers, you going all PC
on us?

- Wasting time on symptoms.

Bang them away, no counselling,
no educational courses.

- The money has always been
problem.

- But commit a serious crime,

and go down for a long stretch,

there's all sorts of help
available.

Murderers get offered more
help than petty criminals.

What we do isn't cost effective.

- So what are you saying?

- We have to be more realistic.

- Oh come on, you can't go and
put us

through all that crap,
and suddenly turn around

and throw the towel in because
you

don't think we're being
realistic.

- I appreciate your
support, Joe, really I do.

But, I think we're kidding
ourselves.

- Then make it work, whatever it
takes.

Everyone at the Centre is
going their extra mile.

So stop feeling sorry yourself

and find a way of upping your
game.

Or else I'm gonna wipe the table
with you.

- To be honest Joe,

I'm done.

- Angie, Angie come here
girl I'm not gonna hurt you.

Come on!

- Any sign?

Actually he wasn't feeling
too good last night you know.

- Morning.
- Morning.

- Is everything alright?

- Yeah fine.

- Thanks Tommy.

Apologies for keeping you all
waiting.

This was the morning when my
slow puncture gathered speed.

Right let's call the first case.

- Angela Sparks.

- Angela Sparks?

So until her arrest last night

and despite similar drug
offences in the past,

this is the only time that Miss
Sparks

has been arrested in 12 months?

- Angela has managed to
turn her life around sir,

but last night when she was
assaulted.

- who did that to your
face, someone you know?

- No sir.
- Carry on Ms. Woods.

- She was found to be in
possession

of a small amount of crack
cocaine.

Angela Sparks has never dealt
drugs, sir.

In fact she's desperate
to get back on track

but she's worried about that
happening

in her current financial
situation.

- I am aware that Miss Sparks

is under considerable pressure.

As I'm sure you are aware
that, in this field,

the police operate a
zero-tolerance approach.

- I've tried to stay clean but
round here, drugs find you.

Sorry, your Honour.

- Are you serious about getting
clean?

- Yes, sir.

- If you had the opportunity to
take part

in an intensive drug
rehabilitation programme,

- would you?
- Absolutely.

- Why should I believe you?
- It's my last chance.

I'll be dead before I'm
thirty-five.

- I think it's important to take

every individual's situation
into account.

I'd like to find a residential

drug rehabilitation
programme within 24 hours.

We'll meet to talk about a plan
of action.

I want you to know, Miss
Sparks, that you're right.

This is your last chance.

There won't be any more from me.

I suggest you go home
and pack your suitcase,

and we shall speak tomorrow.

Well the next case is a no-show?

Time for my caffeine fix,

and yes I do see the
irony in that statement.

- All rise.

- There's a waiting list you
know,

you're leaving us wide open
here.

- Do you need to speak to
me about anything specific?

- Sarah Myerson has been on the
phone.

Alice Sparks has been arrested
again.

- You are one of a kind.

- I want you to leave Kaz alone.

- Walking in here, without any
fear.

- She's in a bad head space at
the minute.

- I know a couple big boxers who
wouldn't

have the bottle to do that.

- She's not coming back,
she's scared of you.

- But you're not, are you?

- There's all the stuff you
bought her.

- No no, it doesn't work like
that see.

You've got me on a bad day.

This morning I've had to fork
out a couple

of hundred quid for a
paint job for my car.

I'm not happy, see what I'm
saying?

- Open the door or I'll scream.

- I talk, you listen, okay?

You owe me now, I charge
a daily interest rate.

But we'll get to that later.

I don't like people swerving my
calls.

So your mate should be scared.

And she's off her head if she
thinks

she can just walk, 'cause
she owes me, big time.

- If you don't open the door...

- Shhh.

Your mouth smells of mint.

Really fresh, oh yeah I like
that.

We could settle up that debt

now if you like, if it's easier?

Like your mum used to, it'll
be cheaper in the long run.

Apart from your mate, I bet

no-one else knows you're here,
do they?

I mean who'd care?

Who's gonna come running
for the likes of you?

- My Grandad, the Judge, he
cares!

- Coburn is your Grandad?
- Behave.

- Why do you think he came back?

He knows what happened to me mum

so if anything happens to me

you're the first person
he's gonna want to talk to.

The police will be all over
this place like a rash.

- Bleeding' hell, you're
not messing are you?

You are one of a kind,
you know that babes.

- Okay?

- All right babes, I'm Jake
Little,

I wanna speak to Louise Scanlon.

I haven't got an appointment
but I think she'll see me.

Just tell her it's about Judge
Coburn.

- Mrs. Sparks you have
continually ignored

opportunities to avoid
a custodial sentence.

So I have no option but to send
you away

for a seven day detention
period.

- You can't!

- In the hope that you realise

that stealing is an intolerable
offence.

Whatever the circumstances.

- I'm sorry Nan.

- Outrageous, the thieves
and the drug dealers

get away with a slap on the
wrist.

- She's 74 for God's sake.

It's my fault, it's all my
fault.

- I think we should take
a short break there.

All rise.

- There you go, Judge
Coburn's secret granddaughter.

- There was no other
possible course of action.

- You don't have to keep
explaining yourself, Judge.

You know I'm
thinking, Angela Sparks'

residential should be
as far away as possible.

That's assuming she turns up
tomorrow,

but tonight she's on her own.

- She can stay with me.

- Get in touch with the chief of
police.

I want an officer at the Church.

And I don't care what it takes.

We have to up our game and
get something on Jake Little.

I'm ashamed of what I've done,
but it doesn't change it.

- I have to print it.

- You do your job and I'll do
mine.

- Why are you so nice to me?

- 'Cause I'm a nice man.

She's not your business.

- The sentence is 12 months, of
which

not less than nine are to be
served.

Flagrant disregard for the law

will not be tolerated on my
watch.

- I wanna kill again father.

- Who do you want to kill
Leonard?

- My resignation will be on your
desk

first thing in the morning.

- Joe!
