Taxi!

Can you take me here, please?

Right, Charles, sorry about that.

OK, let me fill you in with where we are.

We had the cocaine in a holdall.

We moved into the car park where we saw our friend Mr Scott

walking out from behind his van

holding a double-barrelled shotgun.

OK, listen, I'll see you in about an hour.

OK. OK, bye.

Sorry about that. I'm a lawyer.

Honestly.

TEACHER: Jamie's dad, Mr Burton, has come in today

to talk about what he does at work.

WILL: Hi.

TEACHER: Do any of you know what a barrister does?

Yes, Jamie?

He stops people from going to prison.

TEACHER: And how does he do that?

He tells a court that someone didn't do a crime.

And sometimes the evidence doesn't cut it.

And sometimes that means he can't come on holiday like he promised.

Actually, my job is mostly standing up

and talking to a judge in court.

What do you talk about?

So, if someone said that

they saw you take your classmate's pen,

and you said you didn't take it,

my job would be to show whoever saw you was mistaken.

What happens if I did take the pen anyway?

Well, then you'd be guilty.

Yeah, but what if I said I didn't take it,

and the person who saw me has bad eyesight,

and you're so good at arguing

they can't be sure it was me who took it?

Ah! Well, then, that's what you call a reasonable doubt.

CHILD: So I get to keep the pen?

JAMIE: Yes, but then you'd be getting away with it.

Only if your dad was on my side.

Hi, Charles.

- Will. - Are we ready?

Crown just called.

Seems Maggie Gardner's stepping in as lead junior.

WILL: Again?

Surprised she could squeeze in a case

between TV appearances.

Suppose I'm flattered.

It's like a derby match with you two.

They should sell tickets.

It was, however, the only object Mr Kumarin had to hand.

A hunting knife is not a defensive weapon!

The clue is in the name.

- Miss Gardner. - I apologise, My Lord.

WILL: A man about to be attacked

does not have to wait for permission.

The law tells us, in the right circumstances,

a pre-emptive strike is entirely justified.

In this case, a loaded shotgun aimed squarely at his head!

We only have Mr Scott's appalling aim

to thank that Mr Kumarin is sitting here today

and not being scraped off the nightclub wall with a trowel.

Well done, Will.

Mr Will, thank you very much.

WILL: Pleasure. DRAMATIC MUSIC

- Thank you. - Take care.

They asked for you over any of the silks.

GAVIN: I can't say I blame them.

DRAMATIC MUSIC

Mr Simkins, why did you choose me to lead this?

I mean, why me, over a silk?

Because I've seen too many silks who try and waltz in

and blunderbuss their way through a case

they've only glanced at on the way to the court.

Because in a case like this, I want someone

who spends days elbows deep in the evidence.

Because my client stands between a rock and a bucket of shit,

and he needs all the help he can get.

And?

SIMKINS: Honestly?

Yeah.

Because you win.

DOOR CLOSES

"We were walking through the park

"and listening to music on our iPod.

"We did not notice the blood on our shoes until we got home.

"Because we'd not been paying much attention

"to where we'd been walking,

"and because our walk had taken us through

"areas of deeper undergrowth and high grasses.

"When we first saw the blood,

"we presumed we had stepped in the remains of an animal."

FOYLE: A squirrel, for example?

Yes.

FOYLE: Did you know the grey squirrels

are killing all the red squirrels?

I did, yeah.

FOYLE: But now they've discovered a black squirrel.

Mr Foyle.

And that's killing all the greys.

Goes to show, you can't be too careful.

Mr Foyle, can we please get on?

What day do you take your laundry

to be service washed, Mr Foyle?

FOYLE: Tuesday's wash day.

Can you explain why, after months of Tuesdays,

you took your washing in on a Monday?

We'd run out of pants, hadn't we?

We took our laundry to be washed a day early

because we'd run out of clothing. - Correct.

The fact we found blood on our shoes after our walk,

increased our desire to do our washing early.

That's the truth.

Do you normally wash your shoes in the washing machine?

I do if they have blood on them.

Right.

We're going to have to talk about the websites.

The other side are going to try to claim

that you habitually view images and video

that are commonly referred to as extreme pornography.

That's an umbrella term for filmed acts which threaten,

or appear to threaten, a person's life,

result in serious injury to participants

or appear to involve torture, biting,

sexual interference with a human corpse.

And that this has a link to the nature of the injuries

sustained by the victim.

I don't do that kind of thing.

Unfortunately, your credit card statements

tell a different story.

They show payments to a number of websites,

which have been revealed to distribute this...

This kind of material.

The credit cards are lying.

Right.

I have to tell you, Mr Foyle,

already this is a huge challenge.

We're going to have to work on your presentation style.

What you see is what you get.

Yes, well, that's part of the problem, isn't it?

FOYLE: Does he have to be here?

Yes, he does, yeah.

Here's the thing, Mr Burton,

and I don't know whether you've picked it up

or perhaps your sixth sense might have spotted it...

I don't like people very much.

I'm just not a very nice person.

- I'm not here to judge you. - No, the man in red does that.

I'm here to defend you

and to present your case as best as I can,

but in order to do that...

You think I did it, don't you?

That's the problem here.

That's not what I was saying.

You think I did all those awful things to that poor woman.

- Mr Foyle, please listen to me. - I don't think I will.

Mr Foyle.

I want him gone.

He's your solicitor.

Gone.

He was making me nervous.

WILL: Do you want to take a minute?

Staring at me.

Mr Foyle.

FOYLE: Look me in the eye.

Shall we get on?

How about a nice cup of tea?

Mr Foyle, I'm your defence barrister.

If you privately confessed your guilt to me in any way

but publicly maintained your innocence,

I'd be following Mr Simkins there,

and I would have encouraged you

as I left to enter a guilty plea.

I'm not guilty.

DRAMATIC MUSIC

Then this is where we are.

FOYLE: Well, good job you're here, then.

Refreshing.

Let's hope so.

Your manners.

Full?

Just a splash.

You know, it's funny.

The more time we spend together...

..the more you remind me of me.

Just ask Buzz Aldrin.

Well, I demand a recount.

Takes me back to Middle Temple Moot Finals.

Almost an exact replay.

It was a long time ago.

I heard you're up against our boy Julian

Is that so? Our boy?

Yes, little surprised it's not you on the other side.

Seem to be making a habit out of it.

Thought I'd give you a go against someone else for a change.

Ah! Had enough, eh?

Never.

I am just thinking of transitioning into more defence work.

Excuse me.

- I'm practicing law. - Oh, come on.

It might be exposure, but for all the wrong reasons.

I don't do things for exposure, Maggie.

Why do you do it?

Because everyone deserves a defence.

How's Kate and the family?

Very well, thank you.

I think Maggie's in the gallery today.

Why's she doing that?

Checking out the competition, I expect.

See, that's the trouble with being number one, Will,

everybody wants to knock you off your perch.

Now I heard you asked for an adjournment last week.

I did indeed.

Trouble at t'mill?

Not really, just needed more time.

Well, here we are, I'm afraid.

Here we are indeed.

I must say, I do like your game face, old boy.

You haven't seen it yet, old boy.

Some crimes defy description.

They debase our so-called civilisation

and defy every boundary of humanity left to us.

Now the person who took the life of Sandra Mullins

can only be described as a malignant sadist,

who did so with the intent to traumatise, to terrorise,

and to inflict the maximum amount of pain and suffering.

And we intend to prove, without doubt,

that that person was Liam Foyle.

Severe bruising around her neck,

her thyroid cartilage and hyoid bone were badly fractured.

Cause of death was strangulation.

Other injuries were sexual in nature,

internal and external.

Both eyes were missing,

removed with force close to the time of death,

possibly before.

MAN: The park gets overgrown towards the northeastern corner.

Long grass, hawthorn, lavender, nettle beds.

And did you see anything unusual on your morning route?

I saw a man, getting up from a lying position.

Mr Hughes, in your professional capacity,

can you please confirm that the credit card statements before you

are an accurate reflection of payments made by your bank

on behalf of the account holder, Mr Liam Foyle?

Yes.

JULIAN: And these payments were made by the card

over the first three months of this year, is that correct?

Yes.

And they were all made online

to companies across Asia and Europe,

all of which distribute and produce the same product,

namely pornography, is that correct?

Yes, that is our understanding.

Mr Hughes, many of these sites,

and I'm afraid we have had to visit them

in the course of this investigation,

have shown acts of extreme depravity,

which, we understand from the forensic reports,

show disturbingly accurate similarities to the injuries

that befell Sandra Mullins before she was murdered.

I talk specifically in relation to the bite marks

and the mutilation of genitalia.

FOYLE: Liar!

Mr Foyle!

You have one chance with me, and that was it.

Any more from you, and I shall hold you in contempt.

MALE: Murderer!

JUDGE: Silence, please!

Mr Hughes, please answer the question.

MR HUGHES: Yes, it is the same card.

JULIAN: Thank you. No further questions, My Lord.

Mr Burton?

My Lord, before this trial began,

I made a written application for an adjournment.

I'm asking you now to reconsider that application

in the light of the gravity of the expert testimony.

Oh, come on.

JUDGE: Mr Burton, this is most inappropriate.

I submit that an adjournment will bring vital evidence to light.

Let both sides have their expert, and let the jury decide.

Mr Burton, there is huge public interest

in having this case heard as soon as possible.

The fact your expert has not mustered himself

to the task at hand is neither here nor there.

It's not that he's slow, it that he's gathering

potentially new evidence.

It's the same computer.

Both of your experts are computer forensic specialists.

I can hardly see how two trained men

looking at the same piece of equipment could produce

so radically different conclusions

that it would make a difference.

I'm afraid it simply isn't on.

I think if My Lord could look a little closer...

Your application was refused and it shall stay refused.

I will decline from pursuing you on contempt,

but let this be your last and final warning.

We'll break for lunch now.

But the train is on the tracks, Mr Burton.

And for the sake of your client, I suggest you deal with it.

My Lord.

SIRENS WAILING, INDISTINCT SHOUTING

DRAMATIC MUSIC

Not inspiring much confidence up there, Will.

I know what I'm doing, Mr Foyle.

Not from where I'm sitting.

WILL: So sack me.

Why would I want to do that?

WILL: You tell me.

I work for you as long as you'll have me.

I apologise, Will.

I know you've got my back.

I appreciate your honesty very much.

Shall we get on?

You only have one computer, is that correct?

Yes. But I don't see what that's got to do

with what happened to that woman.

You will.

Someone must pay for what happened to Sandra Mullins.

Our very humanity is at stake,

as my learned friend has indicated.

It would be convenient for everyone here today

if Liam Foyle was guilty.

The cuffs go on and he's gone forever.

The evidence seems overwhelming.

But it is not.

We may dislike Mr Foyle.

We might cross the street if we saw him coming.

But we do not have to like him to defend him.

Because this is not a popularity contest,

this is not a witch-hunt...

..this is a court of law.

And in this country, when you're accused of a crime,

you are presumed to be innocent until proven guilty.

And make no mistake, not a shred of what you've heard

from my learned friend acting for the Prosecution

has given any proof at all.

I will show you unreliable witnesses,

lazy forensic science,

emotional appeals instead of factual accuracies.

Oh, yes, and the casual assertion that my client

is a consumer of extreme pornography.

First, I think, we will talk about that.

I am an expert in forensic computer data analysis.

Dr Crowe, have you had a chance to examine the hard drive

of the computer belonging to Mr Foyle?

DR CROWE: Yes, I have.

And you did this instructed

by the Prosecution in this case, is that correct?

DR CROWE: Yes.

Unfortunately, Dr Weeks,

the gentleman who has helped examine the computer

for the defence has not yet finished his work.

However, he has passed me his notes to date

and I'd like to ask you questions about them.

Wherever you go on the internet, using a computer,

you leave footprints.

Is that correct?

DR CROWE: Yes, it is.

And even if you've deleted a file, someone like you is able to see it.

DR CROWE: Most of the time, yes.

Where is this going?

In the absence of my own expert, My Lord,

my learned friend has kindly tendered

the Prosecution expert on this matter.

I beg some time to explore this point with him.

Very well.

My learned friend alleges that my client paid for

and viewed, on a regular basis,

numerous depraved and abusive images, including...

"acts of torture, mutilation, strangulation, and necrophilia."

In your analysis of his computer,

did you establish that Mr Foyle

had actually visited any of those websites

that pertained to those images?

No, but his credit card bills...

Thank you. And my learned friend asserted that my client

paid for access to many of those websites

with his credit card.

Now, why would he pay for them

if he didn't actually visit them?

It may sound reprehensible,

but he's not getting his money's worth, is he?

How did he pay for access to those sites

without actually visiting them?

There were many porn sites on Mr Foyle's internet history

to which he submitted his credit card details.

That's how he received a password

to unlock other content elsewhere.

Is it possible that his card details

were falsified at that point?

How do you mean?

I mean that, when he submitted his details

to the adult site, they were taken

and used by unknown third parties

to pay for and unlock this "other content" as you call it.

Is that possible?

I suppose so, yes.

So given this possibility,

if we were to prove, in this court,

that such falsification occurred,

would Mr Foyle be shown to be, in fact,

a victim of identity fraud?

My Lord, this is not a trial about extreme pornography,

this is about the horrific murder...

Our expert was in the process of proving this link, My Lord,

hence our application for an adjournment, which was refused.

My learned friend brought these hideous allegations

to bear on this case and I hereby reiterate my request.

The expert testimony cuts both ways.

Usher, please excuse the jury.

A matter of procedure has just arisen,

I need to talk to both sides about it.

We will call you back presently.

My room, I think.

Judge, my client has now been falsely branded

an extreme porn enthusiast by the Crown,

this has now leaked online to social media,

where it's been duly picked up by the print media,

all of which has now permanently tainted my client

with the label torturer, pervert, necrophiliac.

So much so that this jury must be discharged

and a new jury called.

Even with the reporting restrictions, such as they are,

given the press this case has already generated,

Mr Foyle cannot be given a fair trial.

The inevitable application is to stay the indictment.

Come on, this is absurd.

I did make the request in good time.

Yes, yes, I know.

The prejudice to the accused

in the eyes of this jury is, in my view, permanent.

Reluctantly, I feel that I have

little option in these circumstances

but to accede to your application.

Judge, please.

I ballsed up, Julian.

I'm sorry.

Let's get this over with.

And so, as a result, I have no alternative

but to discharge the jury and release the defendant.

You might want to delay a little.

WILL: 'What kind of complaint?'

MAYFIELD: Unprofessional conduct.

He didn't come to us first?

Looks like he wanted to cause you maximum discomfort.

Went straight to the Legal Ombudsman and the BSB.

Both barrels.

Mr Foyle asserts that you "engaged in conduct

"which is dishonest or otherwise discreditable

"to a barrister contrary to paragraph 301 A1,

"in particular that you expressed doubts

"about the validity and honesty of his plea."

WILL: What?

- Is this true? - Of course not.

This is insane. We won the bloody case.

We won!

Looks like it's not enough.

What the hell's he doing?

I'm afraid your silk application is gonna have to wait

till this is all sorted out.

I'm awfully sorry, Will, it's very bad luck.

We need to weigh in on this right away,

stop it in its tracks. Enough firepower, it may well work.

Danny!

DOOR OPENS

See who you can rope back into the office, will you?

It's six o'clock.

GAVIN: Hey!

We'll thrash out a strategy here and now, all right?

DRAMATIC MUSIC

Yeah, there's been a bit of a thing at work.

It's a bit weird.

I'm going to have to stay later

but maybe we can all just go up together?

Can you hang on a bit?

KATE: 'We're ready for the off.

'Look, why don't we just see you up there, eh?

'But hurry up, OK?

'I want to show you something.'

That's cryptic.

KATE: 'Well, not really.

'Oh, and listen...'

Oh, I am losing you.

Nah.

- KATE: 'Hello?' - I'll see you later, OK?

- KATE: 'Hello?' - OK.

KATE: We're here, we're here, we're here.

JAMIE: I am really hungry.

KATE: I don't care.

Listen, we are going to wait for your dad to get back

and then we can all eat together, OK?

'Hi, it's Kate. I'm not here right now, but leave a message.

'Bye.'

Jamie?

Oof!

Jamie?

MALE ON CD: 'Try to find out if it is day or night.

'What are two ways to greet someone?'

FEMALE ON CD: 'Muito prazer.'

DRAMATIC MUSIC

FEMALE ON CD: 'Bom dia.

'Boa tarde.'

MALE ON CD: 'Where is the nearest chemist?'

FEMALE ON CD: 'Onde esta a farmacia?'

Kate?

Hi.

Kate?

Kate?

MALE ON CD: 'There is.'

FEMALE ON CD: 'Ha, sim.'

Kate?

Kate?

Jamie?

Kate?

Kate?

Jamie?

Jamie?!

Jamie? Jamie?

Oh, Jesus!

SHE GROANS

Kate!

SCREAMING

JAMIE: Dad!

- Jamie! - Dad!

Jamie! Jamie!

Jamie!

Shit!

Come on!

SCREAMING

PHONE RINGING

Yes, police! Ambulance!

Words are not enough, Will.

Take all the time you need.

Chambers is a family.

Like all families, we take care of one another.

We will run with this right through to the end.

- Whatever it takes. - Thank you.

You have my word on it.

We'll make sure we get him.

SOLEMN MUSIC

How are things?

Sorry, shit question.

WILL: I'm getting through it.

Sorry to call out of the blue. I was just in the area.

No, it's really great that you called, Danny.

I really appreciate it.

- How's everything with you? - Fine, fine.

Well, we're just... pulling out all the big guns.

Going to blitz the bastard, yeah?

What is it?

I don't know if I should tell you.

WILL: Tell me what?

Liam Foyle confirmed defence counsel today.

Who is it?

DRAMATIC MUSIC

I thought you were still on leave?

WILL: I am.

I... I sent you a card.

- I hope that... - You're defending him.

If you mean Liam Foyle, then yes.

Yes, you're correct.

Look, after everything that's happened, I mean...

I know this must be very hard for you.

- I really do. - Yeah.

You know as well as I do, for good or bad...

What can I say?

Everyone deserves a defence.

That's right, Maggie.

That's right.

Foyle murdered Sandra Mullins. You need to know that.

You said otherwise in court.

Let that man in, you're risking everything.

I mean it, don't be alone.

It was today wasn't it, the plea?

- Talk to me! - Actually, he got bail.

- Great (!) When was this? - This morning.

These lawyers, they don't have an ounce of mercy in them.

They can be very manipulative.

Never said thank you.

- Oh, you're welcome. - See you soon.

When were you planning on telling me?

I want a meeting with everyone tonight, everyone!

Dad, look out!

WILL: Is he here?

FEMALE: They said he'd already left.

- WILL: Why didn't you call me? - JAMIE: Dad! Dad!

Dad!

Dad!
