All language subtitles for Judge John Deed - 01x00 - Exacting Justice.DVDrip.AVI.Fov.Dutch.updated.Addic7ed.com.en

We thought you'd never
come here for this. Sign here and here.

You're not going to do anything crazy
with that gun, are you, Maurice?

Not that anyone
would blame you.

You should keep a gun under
lock and key.

That's on the permit.

Understood?
-Yes thank you.

What is your problem?
They acquitted me.

Come on.

Are you going to allay my anxiety
or start over, Mr Frant?

Otherwise I'd
better adjourn the session...

...and take my daughter to the start
of her new school year.

I'm sorry if I deprive a father of such a
duty, Your Honor.

There's a problem
with the witness statements.

I would very much appreciate a short suspension .

Customs has had 15 months to
prepare this case.

All the while, the suspects have
been in custody.

There are contradictions
in your plea.

Does a suspension make sense for you?

We can adjourn the case
until tomorrow morning.

If you think we
can continue the process without delay.

My clients have been
in custody for 15 months.

Could you release them on bail
?

I don't think so, Mr. Peters.
Till tomorrow morning.

Do you stand.

What a gang.
I bet they'll dismiss the case tomorrow.

Without your intervention?
-My intervention?

Can you
handle a quick IOU?

Who is the accuser?
-Michael Willingham.

Then it won't be fast. Charlie?
Wait a second. No, I do not think so.

Do you want to go there now?
We just got a suspension.

Okay, I'll be right over for you.

I can't make that confession.
-We have to get rid of it, Your Honor.

You're not going to leave the building, are you?

We all think about your safety.

Go find my agent.
I'm going to pee.

Go look on the street.

Where is the honorable?
-I think to the bathroom.

You know well he's not there.
He is gone.

I don't know about that,
Mr. Radcliff.

You've conspired with him before
, Mrs. Cooper.

Know whose side you are on.
-I'm assisting the Honorable.

You're there to make
sure he doesn't mess around.

If you don't,
Justice will soon replace you.

Shouldn't you also
bring your stereo?

My roommate is taking
hers.

It'll be strange
when you're gone.

I'm only
30 minutes away, Dad.

Chas.
-Rory.

How are you?

What did you do on your vacation?
- Belize saved.

They're really going to
protect the rainforest now.

Are they going to stop the multinationals?

We've disabled tractors...

...and hammered nails into the trees
to demolish the chainsaws.

What have you done?
-something much more dangerous.

I used to work at McDonald's.
- Are you no longer a vegetarian?

It's a joke.
McDonald's would have been cooler.

I've worked in the court of law.
This is the judge. This is Rory.

We were together in the lake of destruction.
That's what Grandpa calls the company.

You came out well.

Rory organized the action
against the A2 widening.

He has stopped the destruction of primeval forests.

I read it.
A lot of houses were damaged.

That's just police propaganda.

I read that you dropped a murder case .

Did you get away with that?
-Just.

Are you studying law?
-Social anthropology.

Those teachers have to eat too.

It's a joke.

Thanks to social anthropology, we know
why there are queues in supermarkets.

It's a joke, Dad.

Adam and Hamm are here.
-Awesome.

The judge knows all the good cafes
in Brighton.

You're early, Michael. Or have
you been out all night?

You were the one who was
n't in the cafeteria last night.

They almost called in a search
team.

I refuse to be a prisoner
of the court.

The messenger nearly knocked me to the ground
when I wanted to post a letter.

Their exaggerated concern got used to it.

Are you feeling alright?

Sure?

Once I couldn't wait
to go to court.

The law brought order, set things
straight, and ended chaos.

That's close.
- I couldn't sleep last night.

I have that miserable case
that starts this morning.

The father who
shot his daughter's killer.

Jo Mills does the defense.
You can't just knock it down.

I don't like giving him life.
-Who's the prosecutor?

Stafford Clark.
-He's a lazy bastard.

Let him
plead for manslaughter...

...on the basis of diminished
responsibility. Or provocation.

There were four months
between the two murders.

You can argue that Haart
was accountable again.

Or that he had not yet recovered
from the death of his daughter.

The fact that her killer didn't get a
prison sentence was a setback.

You still think like a lawyer.

And Justice has devious plans.
They want to set an example.

I would have killed him too if he
'd left my daughter dying.

Mr Frant.

I hoped this would be over.
-I'm sorry, Your Honor.

Unfortunately, the prosecutor cannot
provide further evidence.

Thank you for your honesty.

The prosecution's case is
declared inadmissible.

I only request you
to pronounce the verdict 'innocent'...

...after the clerk reads the charges
.

You don't have to
back down for this.

Members of the jury, for allegedly
illegally importing cannabis...

...do you think the suspects James Everitt
and Sean Arnold are innocent?

Yes, innocent.
-Is that the verdict of all of you?

It seems crazy, but the
suspects remain under your care...

...until you've made up your mind.

You wouldn't have
wanted to take them home, would you?

Or maybe.

If you want to go with the bailiff
now.

I'm afraid he has another case
for you.

I'd like to ask for an injunction
for damages.

Both suspects had a hard time
during the fifteen months in pre-trial detention.

Didn't they have a widescreen TV
and free access to the Internet?

They have had a hard time financially.

I don't believe the
suspects are completely innocent, by the way.

I'll ask the accountant
to take a close look at the costs.

And I propose that Customs
drastically improve its behavior.

Do you stand.

I did
n't plan that dismissal. A pound, please.

So why did Frant
even initiate that lawsuit?

What a hopeless case.

I'm sure those two
imported cannabis.

Customs are sloppy and expect
the judges to be behind them.

Too many of them do that too.
They sometimes meet themselves.

Judge Nivan has had
a heart attack.

A heavy one?
-Not life threatening.

His murder case goes to you.
You are now the highest red judge here.

He was quite concerned about it.

The prosecutor's
trying to keep the case out of here.

I can't really tell you that.

Nivan said there were devious plans
being made.

I'm looking for my next assignment.

A senior is needed
for a rape case.

Where is the Haart murder case
that Nivan would do?

It would be perfect for us,
but it's not finished yet.

According to Michael Nlvan, yes.
-The sitting judge didn't think so.

The rape case is very difficult.

The district judge
can handle the murder case.

It makes no sense to let a purple kill
and rape me.

I'll send my secretary
for the documents.

I'd better
go talk to Justice.

Simon Dymock.
-Met Willy Radcliff.

We have a problem at Highfield.
Judge Nivan is sick...

...and Judge Deed tries
to get his hands on the Haart murder case.

The government doesn't want a torrent
of revenge killings.

The father should be set as an example
. Didn't.

Are you going to force him
not to do the case?

Unfortunately, no
one can force a chief judge to do anything.

Not me and not even
the Attorney General.

The tabloid press wants justice
for the father.

They stir up the black community.
There is already a demonstration outside.

Find something else for Deed.
Otherwise, search for the documents.

Who's in charge here?

You cannot take action here,
not even tacitly.

I request you to go across
the street.

There's one minor change, Rita.

The Honorable gets
an interesting case.

He expects the Haart documents.
-But he gets the rape case.

Do they think they
can fool me?

If I don't speak out of turn,
the court clerk has two...

...direct contact with Justice.

Check that the judges
are together and send it back.

I've never
seen a judge in his suspenders.

I can't even get my own coffee.
-That's promotion.

Are you ready for the Haart case?
-Not if you do it.

Be
ready in number two in five minutes.

What's the problem?
He seems like a breath of fresh air to me.

Just say a tornado.
He constantly intervenes...

...and makes you feel insignificant.

I'll call you later. Are you
outsmarting your bodyguards?

I'm getting good at it. Is the prosecution
ready for the Haart case?

They say they
took you off.

As soon as I find my assistant.
She peed an hour ago.

Where are the Haart documents?
- He's looking for the documents.

Do I look that stupid?
-We have the rape case.

Who is he talking to?
-Let me speak to him.

Simon Dymock,
the district leader wants to see you.

No time, my trial begins.
-Heard?

Stop him. Let him
do the rape.

The Lennox case needs someone
of your intellectual caliber.

The Haart case will start in number
two, with or without documents.

Do you stand.

This case was to be
heard by Judge Nivan.

He is unfortunately sick. Since I
don't have the documents yet...

...the case will be fully
opened by the prosecution.

Members of the jury, the accused
Maurice Haart is charged...

...of the murder of Alex Redburn
on February 27.

He denies being guilty.

It's your job to say
whether he's guilty or not.

You can sit down.

I would like to draw your attention to the demonstration
that is taking place in front of the court.

Undoubtedly for the sole purpose
of influencing the jury.

That has not gone unnoticed.
Not that the jury just swore...

...to deal with the case
based on the evidence.

Members of the jury, the prosecution
has corrected the court...

...at the demonstration
taking place outside.

It suggests that racial motives
play a role in this case.

I warn you not to discuss this matter with any protester...

...or to accept
writings from them during this process.

Before we go any further, I want to
consult in my council chamber.

This is an administrative matter.
Usually I'll let you get some coffee...

...but since this is what happened,
I want you to stay here.

Do you stand.

You know what I'm going to ask.
According to the tabloid press...

...a nationwide majority doesn't want
this man on trial for murder.

Worse, he gets a life sentence.
I don't agree with that...

...but I have to
think about public opinion.

We have to decide what is
the best course of action here.

Nivan was unsure about upholding
the murder charge.

If manslaughter is accepted,
I want to impose a suspended sentence.

That's how I'd like to see it.
I've talked to the prosecution about it...

...but they are adamant.

I will not try
to influence the prosecution...

...but now they risk
never getting it right.

A conviction is wrong...

...and acquittal would make the
murder charge look rancor.

I doubt they see it that way.
-You run the business, David.

Would Haart confess to manslaughter
if David is persuaded?

The problem is, my client
doesn't care if he wins or loses.

Is there a statement from the defense?
-Yes, Redburn got what he deserved.

I understand.

The prosecutor's job is clear:
to prove beyond doubt...

...that the prisoner
performed the acts that led to death...

...of Mr Redburn and that he
performed them with the intent...

...kill
or seriously injure him.

We will prove conclusively
that the suspect before February 27...

...observed and followed his victim
in order to kill him...

...in revenge for the tragic accident
four months earlier...

...when he ran over and killed Haart's daughter .

What followed was
premeditated murder.

They're dragging your name through the mire.
-Stop it, Jo.

It's bad enough that I
need bodyguards.

There is even a chaplain
available to me.

He could improve your character.

How do you want to get provocation
through?

Stafford-Clark wants to thwart everything.

No one can imagine the loss
of this father.

He relived it all
when Redburn was released.

You are not strong. He had
four weeks to think about it.

Time stands still for this father.

Have him confess to manslaughter.
I'll give him an alternative punishment.

Any punishment is meaningless.
Life is his punishment.

The prosecution will have to
decline provocation if you so choose.

I hope you have good
independent witnesses.

Do you think you stand a chance?
-Is she a good lawyer?

Under your guidance she will get better.

Shall we eat together?
- Am I the consolation prize?

Is that how you see yourself?
That surprises me.

Maintaining a positive self-image
is not easy.

We can go to me.
-To your official residence?

The minister would hear it.
We'll lose Laurel and Hardy.

No, I have to go back to Tom. When I'm
not there, he doesn't do his homework.

It would save me a loss.

I thought that's what your bodyguards
were for.

How's Charlie?
-Excellent.

Her mom and grandpa
still don't talk to her...

...because she chose Sussex
and not Oxford.

Be glad she didn't
choose York.

I sometimes wonder
if I'll ever see Mark again.

I'll introduce you.
After that you are on your own.

Talk to your client.
Make him confess.

Jane, this is Judge John Deed.

Get out.

Backwards.

I can make it provocative.
That is your only defense.

We have to convince the jury
that a reasonable person like you...

...was provoked by something.

But even then, murder is only
reduced to manslaughter.

It doesn't matter what the judge
or jury does. I'm guilty.

Many people from all over the country
think otherwise.

You risk life, Maurice.

The court that tried Redburn made
a caricature of my daughter.

What else can they do to me?
-We'll come up with something.

I saw him that day.

Redburn.

In his truck.

The same truck
that killed my Mona.

The day you shot him?
Why didn't you say that before?

Provocation will do well.

You are going to tell the jury as a witness
what you just told me.

He's going to start.
-It can wait a while.

We can't go on without
the information I've asked for.

Can you get it for me?
No, it doesn't have to be right away...

Excuse me, ma'am.
Can I talk to you for a minute?

Perhaps best privately.

If you have any secrets, my
colleagues will know soon enough, Bob.

Your daughter called.
-Gosh, do I still have a daughter?

She was at a police station. She's been
arrested and needs bail.

Then she needs a criminal lawyer.
Didn't she call her father?

He's in court.
- I get it.

His career still comes first.
I'm expecting clients.

She just has to be patient.
-Are you sure?

She can ask her father
or just bite the bullet.

Aren't you curious, George?
-I already know what it's about.

Yet another protest.
Charlie wants to save the world.

You stated under oath how Haart
handed you the gun.

How did he come across so the jury
can understand his state of mind?

He seemed calm to me.
-Very quiet?

For someone who had just
committed a murder.

Was he acting like someone
in shock?

He was motionless, like victims
of shock. Completely of the world.

Was he of the world when he
went to the station with the gun?

He was like a zombie.

You've known him since
his daughter's death?

I brought him the news.
-How did he come across to you then?

His world collapsed.

He said that with the money
from her paper route...

...to visit her grandmother in Jamaica.
That he should have stopped her.

Had he changed
the next time you saw him?

Barely. We have sometimes thought
that he would commit suicide.

Did you take action then?

I called the police doctor. He
referred him to a psychiatrist.

Did you observe the suspect
during Redburn's trial?

Every day. He just sat there,
not saying anything.

I offered him tea once.
He didn't even seem to see me.

Could you say that
at your next encounters...

...of the world, in shock?
-No doubt.

Thank you, Brigadier.

Could you tell us a little bit more about
how to process the suspect's application...

...for a firearms license
?

In the normal way.
-You thought those circumstances were normal?

We did not find them abnormal.

Someone's daughter had been run over by
a driver who ran off.

Didn't you think the application
could have a criminal purpose?

No, Your Honor. The applicant was
of good conduct and had no criminal record.

According to your description,
the applicant could have been suicidal.

You can
commit suicide in an easier way.

Did it occur to you that he
wanted to kill his daughter's killer?

No. He applied for the permit
for Alex Redburn's trial.

It was assumed that Redburn
would go to jail.

It takes about ten weeks for
the permit to be granted?

So that was after the trial.

Four weeks and one day after Redburn received
his replacement sentence.

Are you going to call the gun salesman?

No, the defense accepts
his statement.

It can be read to the defence
.

The murder took place on the same day
the license was collected...

...and the gun was bought. Did
you encourage the suspect to do so?

No not at all.
-With no word or gesture?

The police sometimes encourage victims
to beat someone up.

I don't have that experience.

Do you have any questions, Mr. Stafford-Clark?
- Thank you, Your Honor.

Are you adept at assessing
someone in shock?

For clarity...

...your evidence
of the prisoner's mental condition was...

...an opinion?

Yes, sir.
-Thank you, Brigadier.

How long have you been a police officer?
-19 years.

You must be very experienced then. The jury
will certainly believe that you are an expert.

Thank you. You can sit down.

Dad, with George.
Did Charlie call?

I haven't heard from her.

She has problems with the police.
It will be another protest.

Do you want my driver to take care
of the matter?

That's very nice. Have her
call her father.

I have to hang up. Oh yeah, remember
the GEC and AEU?

Of course, I made the statement.
- I'm going to make a lot of money with that.

Turn that thing off.

Which police station?
-High Street.

Does the press already know?
-I don't think so.

The Justice Department
would then be working on it.

I thought you
wouldn't want a driver.

Why couldn't her mother
go there?

John, can I talk to you for a second?
-I'm in a hurry.

I need to speak to you privately.
-Go ahead.

I understand your dilemma, but I ca
n't help it.

That doesn't happen often.

You cannot explain what
provoked Haart.

If you can't get him to testify
, you can pack up.

I'm sorry, Joe.

We have worked very hard for you.
Thank you, Mr. Wheldon.

Although I think we would
like something other than tea.

I thought it would be good news.
-Not good news, very good news.

According to the labor contracts of the
old union before the annexation...

...you don't have to pay pension arrears ...

...in the event of a company closure.

Do I understand from this that
the £15 million is guaranteed?

1 5,620,000 at closing. Plus
29 months interest of 7.4 percent.

The contract was poorly drafted.

The union lawyers
were too busy at the time...

...with politics
and not with details.

He said they knew why we took
over that company.

That's why they relinquished their bonds.

There has been quite a bit of case law
since Thatcher chastised the unions.

Surely the court will want
us to respect the intention?

It will see the yawning gap
between intention and design...

...and decide in your favor.
-Fantastic.

See, free. If you don't show up
for the hearing, I'll go to jail.

You could do one more thing for me.
Rory can't find a bailiff.

I hardly know him.
-He's a good boy.

It's not fair
if he has to stay here.

Make sure he's at the hearing.
-Judge Did?

It doesn't stop here.
- Not if that reporter is on top of it.

The press
should just deal with it.

I called the lJ Queen.
The university is furious with us.

They should be happy with students
who still care about something.

The farm we mold belongs to them.
-Not a smart move.

They harm the environment.
Why are they inviolable?

They can expel you from school.
-You can speak to the principal.

I already have enough work.
This is where I draw the line.

The college can remove them.
-They're involved, Colin.

everyone nowadays
out of commercial interest.

Sometimes direct action is
the only way.

Charlie should go back to law
school. She thinks like a lawyer.

I didn't know you had changed your studies
.

Marine biology, since three days.
-Why?

The teacher may have something
to do with it. Handsome, 30, spirited.

Get out anyway.
- I'm trying to help.

The law is so boring.
-He is gorgeous.

When you help someone out of the pit,
you feel heavenly.

That goes for you. I have too many
genes from Grandpa and the lJqueen.

You can be expelled from school.

Because I destroyed the wheat?

The sea is our origin,
we must keep it alive.

The law is there to protect the environment
.

That hasn't done much yet.
-The law is not the problem.

It's the people who run it.

Keep your head down. And Rory too.

In five years, 90 percent of
all wheat will be genetically engineered.

Destroying a few pastures
hardly helps.

It's time to raise the stakes, is
n't it?

As long as we don't get caught.
-That's not happening.

Law enforcement. Get dressed.

Hair free.

Before you
saw the prisoner sign his gun license...

...how did he come across to you then?
- Reasonable, controlled.

Someone with enough responsibility
to own a gun.

Nothing in his demeanor pointed
to an underlying problem?

That's right.

How many times had you met Haart before
the gun license interview?

Never. I knew
who he was, of course.

How do you know if his behavior was normal
if you had never seen him before?

Brigadier Bridges
would have said so.

Bridges said he was not himself,
completely of the world.

Thank you, Inspector. That's all.

How many gun licenses
have you handled...

...of people in Haart's situation?
-Whose daughter had died? No.

Has his application not
moved you to investigate his motives?

Yes, I made a character
sketch.

He scored highly on
sensible, responsible behavior.

What kind of diplomas do you have to
be able to make a character sketch?

I studied psychology
at the University of Leeds.

How is the media reacting to the fact that
Deed's daughter was at the protest?

Generally sympathetic. Dad is
seen as caring and involved.

Unfortunately. Find an ambitious
investigative journalist.

I'm sure there's more to it.

Do you fancy an indigestible lunch?
-The police have arrested Rory.

They lifted him from his bed at night .

Even I don't
believe they are that bad.

You've never been arrested.
We don't even know where he is.

Coop, tell them we
don't need toenail pie.

Go get some sandwiches.

Why was he arrested?
-Don't you follow the news?

A warehouse of genetically
engineered wheat has burned down.

That's not destroying pasture.
There was 2 million pounds of damage.

He is innocent, complete,
absolute, total.

Such a person does not exist.
-You have to help him.

I know a good lawyer.
-Go talk to Scotland Yard.

And you said he was innocent?

Your cop buddy can instill that
in those suckers in Sussex.

Yes, that was a good one.

You gotta let me win every now and then.
That's good for my ego.

What about my ego, Row?
-You must be here every day.

Laurel and Hardy think it's too risky.

Even walking down the seventh floor
at lunchtime.

That's risky for a straight man.
Even for a chief.

This place is teeming with
gay cops.

Maybe we should take the chance
.

If the stakes were high enough,
I'd risk the gays.

How's that murder case going?

If anyone should never have been on trial
, it's that father.

The video evidence is sufficient.
Unless the defense has something else.

If I'd arrested him,
there wouldn't have been a video.

Police officers can no longer
think for themselves.

But you wanted to talk about
something else.

Will you take me to the lvy
of Stringfellows?

It's your turn
to take me.

Not for the kind of help you need
. Why are you meddling?

If you had a bunch of daughters from
all your ex-wives you would know that.

Is Charlie involved?
-No, that boy is just a friend.

Why are you sacrificing yourself
for a stranger?

Even a high-ranking agent can no
longer mediate so easily.

Charlie thinks this boy
has a future. You choose someone like that.

Did I wake you?
-Yes, it's getting late.

Lucky one. Don't mess with
Rory Brown and tell Charlie that.

He is incarcerated for
terrorist activities.

Is there any convincing evidence?
-Yes.

You know how I feel about it.
Make your own choices.

Okay, thank you, Row. I have to go.
-Can I still have a bath here, Judge?

Why not? The staff will call
a taxi for you.

They will have already reported your visit to the minister.

I don't care what your friend said . Rory wasn't there.

You wish I asked.
You can't bend the truth...

...because you don't like the answer.
-Your friend does.

People take risks
for you and that idiot.

I'm absolutely sure he
didn't burn that warehouse down.

I don't know anything for sure
and I still give people life.

Rory was with me all night.

As long as you have safe sex.
-We don't sleep together.

Tell the police he
was with you. They do believe you.

I will. And what about that hard evidence
from your friend?

How can you be so sure he didn't
do it if you weren't in bed?

Because we broke into a lab of a
biochemical company.

What are you telling me now?

We were destroying databases 150 kilometers away .

That is a serious crime. I'm
a judge and I have to report crimes.

Those companies are criminals. They
don't know what that genetic shit is doing.

Then come up with something else.
-Those people run the government.

Yes, and you the public opinion. With
a criminal record you ruin your future.

Who cares about my future?
-l. A lot.

Stay there.
-Wow, whoop.

It is for your own safety.
-I'm going to a high-ranking officer.

How can you
offer me more security than him?

Why did you take this job
if you don't like the fuss?

Because then I would get 300 percent
less salary.

Tell me everything you know. That thing
with Rory Brown isn't over yet.

I've already said too much.
-How much is Charlie involved?

She's not involved.
-The police in Sussex suspect so.

They are next to everything.
-I wouldn't get involved.

For you and Charlie's sake.
Rory Brown is a junkie...

...who helps himself out
by setting others up.

What were they talking about?
-I wasn't allowed in the gym.

I thought you should stay with him.
-Then I would have had to fight.

A friend of Scotland Yard said
that Chief Colemore...

...initiated an investigation into
one of the arrested activists.

Rory Brown.
-Excellent, Stephen. I'll drop you off.

You tell us everything
we want to know.

I wasn't at that warehouse
fire.

According to our informant, yes.
- I wish I was there.

How much is
Judge Deed's daughter involved?

It's not about you. I offer you a
simple way to get rid of this.

Can we talk for a second, Dad?
- Depends on what you say.

Rory is back.
-Beautiful.

I don't know, he's changed.
He wants to talk to you.

What is this about?
- He wouldn't say that.

He just said it was important.
Do you want to see him?

All right, have him call this number.

It's clear enough, judge.
-That looks like blackmail.

I'm just saying that if I go
to jail, Charlie will come with me.

My only alibi for the warehouse fire
is the lab break-in.

Charlie was there.

I have two more witnesses
for the prosecution, Your Honor.

But perhaps now is no longer
such an opportune time.

Yes, that seems sensible to me. Thank you.

Shall I put your wig away?

Can I do something for you?

I can't just let Charlie go to hell.

But there are consequences.

I can keep an eye on the scroll and
see who gets the boy's case.

You may be able to
consult with the judge.

Does it work like that?
- I think so, Your Honor.

I'd rather you call me judge.
We have to be very careful.

If Willy Radcliff finds that out,
it'll go straight to Justice.

I still have friends
among the problem cases.

People without self-esteem. That's what
some district judges call us.

Mrs. Mills, Judge.
-What can I do for you, Jo?

You have not intervened yet.
-You don't like that.

What is going on?
-Nothing.

You're the only judge I know
who shows his true feelings.

It's about Charlie, isn't it?

Let's have a drink.
-What about Laurel and Hardy?

Coop, have my driver run
an errand.

I'm going to the bathroom
to shake off my officers.

I understand you want to
get involved in that case.

Do you think that's stupid?
-Very. You talked to Colemore.

He's a friend.
-Charlie thought Rory was a friend.

Assuming I stay a judge.
I help my daughter and her friend...

...and then I resign.
You may not even get that luxury.

I want to help wherever I can.

Tell the jury again how the
defendant intended to kill Redburn.

As violent as possible.

When you think he was calm
and in his right mind?

That's right.

Isn't such a threat a normal
reaction from an angry, grieving father?

I've seen it before with grieving parents .

Anger is normal with sadness, right?
-Very normal.

Can a violent reaction
be elicited from such a person...

...because of another,
less serious incident?

Which can. It is socially
researched.

Will you refer to that research?
-I'll do that.

Would you like to say something more?
-No, Your Honor. Thank you, Dr. Dundas.

That was my last witness
closing the case for the prosecution.

The jury will
appreciate a short day.

Remember that you should not speak to anyone about the case outside of the jury .

Thank you and see you tomorrow.
-Stand up.

None of this would have happened
if she had gone to Oxford.

I doubt that.
-She needs a harder hand.

It could be, Joe.
But none of us want to use it.

Thank you.
- Noble.

If you want my help
in this mess...

...Charlotte has to study law in Brasenose
.

Don't be silly. You should
get to know her a little better...

...instead of taunting her association with her
vulgar father.

Charlie will get her way to
her last gasp.

And now she has been
released on bail.

I was hoping you
'd respond like a grandfather.

I don't like to see my granddaughter go off the
rails.

She is a warm, sensitive person.
She is not derailed.

Then why do I get a call at home
from such a cursed journalist...

...in connection with her relationship
with one Rory Brown?

Charlie thinks those companies are criminal.
She's probably right.

Breaking the law doesn't stop them.
-She's only 19.

She wants to change the world.
Did you never want that?

Emotional nonsense. You got
the chief of police involved...

...and now you're trying to get me
involved.

How do you know about Row Colemore?

The Justice Department
finds out almost everything.

Think about my proposal.
- I don't think about it.

I'll have to report what you're asking.

Logically, you are emotionally damaged.
You don't understand feelings.

I don't understand your flowery language. That
must be to hide your hypocrisy.

You are moralizing
while disrupting justice.

It's about
my daughter's future.

It was clear from the start
that your career would end in dishonor.

It's not so much about what you know,
but where you come from.

You always had good connections.

They spared you bad judgments . You are an opportunist.

A heel licker.
You will never make it to the Supreme Court.

You're just not bright enough.

Get out before I do anything to you.
-Is that a spark of emotion?

You do your best.
I won't let Charlie suffer.

You look tired. is there something?
-Derek wasn't feeling well again.

Has he been to the doctor yet?
-He's afraid of what they'll find.

Just like my ex-father-in-law. He has
problems with his prostate and testicles...

...that should have been treated long ago
.

I'll make sure he goes.

The rapist from three weeks ago
is back for his sentence.

Then we do that first.

They are all ready.
-Any news on the boy's case?

My spies are still on the lookout.

Do you stand.

Hair free.

This is a racist mock trial.

Sorry, wrong process. Your
timing is just as bad as your faith.

A small cell seems less
appealing to me than the sidewalk.

From the stands you can see
if we are racist...

...but if you interrupt,
you'll go to jail. Take him with you.

Am I going to hear your verdict before
the jury decides, Mrs Mills?

Yes, Your Honor. No verdict
can be passed.

The prosecution has clearly
failed to prove...

...that Haart's act was not provocative
, despite the elapsed time...

...which would
suggest that he was back to his senses.

They didn't realize that,
like with the state against Mary Loman...

...with sadness and anger after two
years of delay, little is still needed...

...to provoke something.

I know the precedent,
I was a lawyer then.

However, this does not lead to
inadmissibility.

I assume you are going to prove
how the provocation was caused...

...and I'm looking forward to it, but I'm
afraid I won't go with you on this.

Let the jury back in.

I call Dr Eugene Baldichino
forward.

So you don't call your client forward?
-No, Your Honor.

I warn you of the conclusion that
can be drawn from silence.

Did you explain that to the suspect?
-Yes.

Would a short suspension
help you?

Thank you very much.
-Okay, twenty minutes then?

It's really a risk.

It's best if you
tell the jury exactly what provoked you.

They will probably
respond well to it.

That won't get Mona back,
Mrs Mills.

I know you're doing your best, but it
all doesn't matter anymore.

Mona was his life. He was
always talking about her achievements.

Then came his job
in the nursing home.

After Mona's death, he
was just on autopilot.

Could he have delayed an emotional response to his
daughter's death...

...waiting for the right
or wrong kind of provocation?

Can you explain that?

Mr Haart was constantly dealing
with very emotional situations.

Like the rest of the nursing
staff, he suppressed his emotions.

Do those repressed emotions
ever surface?

At unwanted times. We can
not always suppress emotions.

But under what circumstances?
-May I question my witness myself?

Thank you very much. Dr Baldichino, can you
describe Mr Haart's reaction...

...when his daughter's killer
was tried?

He became introverted,
as with the news of her death.

Did you think it would stop there?
-No, he got very depressed.

That's why I was with him as often as possible.

I was afraid all that anger
would surface one day.

In the worst way if the provocation
reminded him of Mona's death.

He
was on autopilot then...

...and was often unaware
of what he was doing?

Yes, familiar actions are
performed emotionlessly.

Was he aware of the
consequences of his actions?

That a patient
would burn in a red-hot bath?

Naturally.

Can we assume he knew
why he killed his daughter...

...chased with a gun?

I may have missed something,
but the suspect bought the gun...

...on the day Redburn died.

I don't remember the dead
man being chased with a gun.

The prosecution's argument is
that Mr Haart bought the gun...

...to kill Redburn.
Chasing isn't unreasonable then.

Even if it is somewhat
emotional language.

Can we then assume that in the
clinical condition you described...

...he knew what he was doing when he went
after Mr Redburn?

Of course.
- Thank you, Doctor.

Mrs Mills.

Although he knew what he was doing...

...could Mr Haart have stopped himself
from reacting to the provocation?

What kind of provocation do you mean?

For example, if he saw the deceased do
the same...

...as when he ran over his daughter:
driving his truck irresponsibly.

Do you have any evidence that the suspect
saw Redburn driving his truck...

...in an irresponsible way
before he was killed?

I object to this hypothesis.
-No, I'll let the witness answer.

It helps the jury to understand the nature
of the provocation.

But keep in mind that the defense
has not used this as evidence.

Despite knowing what he was doing,
Mr Haart could have stopped himself...

...in his response to such a provocation?

It is arguable that he was
provoked. You can answer.

It must have been a spontaneous,
unstoppable reaction...

...given Redburn's grave provocation.
-Thank you.

Can you tell us
why the response came later...

...and not immediately after the death of the child?

It's like steam in a cauldron
holding the lid back temporarily.

The provocation can be
severe or minor during that time.

The strength of the pent-up emotions
determines when things blow.

Was Mr Haart
able to think despite his suffering?

I'd say yes.
- Thank you, Doctor.

Why do you intervene so often? As a
punishment for not wanting to sleep with you?

I know we're friends, but
I'm still the Honorable.

It must be awful
being your wife.

Coop, will you
go get Mrs Mills a soothing cup of tea?

I want to know the truth.
-Don't be so condescending.

You thwarted us.

You won't get away with provocation
after such a span of time.

The prosecutor gave me free rein.
-My reputation is at stake.

That clerk talks to
Justice every five minutes.

Since when do you care about them?

It doesn't work as well if the permanent
secretary takes me to court.

God forbid.

Give me a drink.

And I wasn't a disaster
to live with. Try it for a weekend.

I don't think anyone
can last a whole weekend.

You couldn't get Haart
to testify.

I can't use force anyway.

If I let him testify...

...he says he shot Redburn
and he got what he deserved.

I would have done the same.

We should let him tell his story outside
the witness stand, huh?

Are you staying for dinner?

Sorry, too busy.

Amazing to hear that Deed
has approached an appeals court.

The man has no background.

He gives us a nice leverage.
Disrupting justice...

...is much worse than an admonition
from the permanent secretary.

I'm sending my reporter to him.
-But I'm involved too.

You
reported it according to the rules to a public prosecutor.

I'd like to help my granddaughter.
-Fine.

But in the end we get
Deed's resignation.

Mrs Channing, edelachtbare.

What would the tabloids write?
Judge addicted to cowboy movies?

The judiciary was simple then.
-Completely barbaric.

Do you want something too? That's the only way
I can survive the canteen food.

Is anyone else here?
-Only the servants.

I mean an intimate relationship.
-Does that matter?

Dad seems to think so.
I was hesitant to come here.

Too many spies.
-I heard that.

Dad has taken action.
Do you get that now?

There is no more evidence
against the boy.

They can no longer
take him into custody.

That old man showed some guts.
-Tell me what's going on.

You look very good.
-Yes, I made good money this week.

It looks good on you.

Business clients
are sometimes right.

At that level
, someone is always being exploited.

And what about employment?
-Oh, of course.

How superior do you feel.

What is it?
-You're very sexy when you're angry.

That doesn't work anymore.

What are they up to? Papa was being
as secretive as John was.

A journalist friend said
Charlie was involved.

With that boy who was acquitted.

I hate it when I'm kept out everywhere
.

I'm trying to figure everything out.

Don't keep me in suspense any longer.
It's good news, isn't it?

The warehouse fire charges
have been dropped.

Thank you.
-But I'm not that optimistic...

...about the break-in at the lab.
Were there any more?

With eight.

That's the mistake. The average criminal
is caught through informants.

They are all eco-warriors.

Anyone can betray you
to avoid jail. Like Rory.

He never.
-He's done it before.

Silly, I don't believe that.
Who said that?

It wasn't to help Rory
that he got out.

It was to prevent
him from betraying you.

Come on, I'll treat you to a meal.
- I can't, I have an appointment.

Be careful who you come into contact
with in direct actions.

I can't do this again.

I want you to pay
close attention to your pronunciation...

...which are the three most striking facts
of the witness statements.

The prisoner applied for
a gun permit...

...before Alex Redburn
was convicted.

He did not rush to the man with a weapon immediately after the tragedy .

There were four months between
his daughter's death...

...and Mr Redburn's conviction,
after which he was shot.

The suspect had four months
to plan this execution...

...to confess his deed afterwards.

Now let's look at the third point,
the confession on the videotape...

...to remind us
how calm he was at the time.

I went to his house
and waited for him to come home.

When he arrived, I
followed him down the path and shot him.

Why did you shoot him, Maurice?
Why now?

There was no plan or intrigue. Haart was
provoked when he killed Redburn.

Consider how Haart had
changed after his daughter's death.

A man waiting for the lid to
pop at the right provocation.

Some saw the mild manner in which
Redburn was treated by the court...

...as a provocation.

But he suppressed that,
as the psychiatrist said...

...and the tension built.

Maurice Haart had no intention
of killing Alex Redburn.

It was provoked.

Mr Redburn led him to it
after his daughter's death.

It was a man whose life
ended after the death of his child.

Knowing how he felt for Mona...

...and how we feel
about our children or grandchildren...

...and then wonder if you would
n't have done the same in his case.

In order to arrive at a correct statement
, one should consider…

...whether Maurice Haart
shot Alex Redburn.

If one admits that fact, one
should check whether he did so intentionally...

...and with the intent to kill
or seriously injure him.

According to the prosecutor, it is.
He says he planned everything...

...and that he
executed that plan in cold blood.

He recalls the delay.

But the defense has
argued provocation.

That means doing or saying something...

...which makes someone temporarily
out of his mind...

...and make a reasonable person
do the same as Mr Haart.

Dr Baldichino says Haart's frustration
built up like steam in a boiler.

And that the provocation in this
depressed man is unrelated...

...with the time of
the actual act.

You have heard a lot of evidence
and many judgments.

The only person who might really know if there was
a trigger is the suspect.

You haven't heard him.

If you believe the suspect killed Redburn
on purpose...

...you must be sure that he did so
without being provoked.

This is a very important decision.
Although I have to make a statement...

...it's pointless to pretend you do
n't know the penalty for murder.

Manslaughter for a pound.
- I wouldn't take your money.

Coop, can you
rustle up some coffee and sandwiches?

Not for me.
I'll eat his.

You may have problems.
The Justice Department Press Secretary...

...has asked tough questions.
-Has she found anything yet?

She bribed a cop
to find out...

...what I did
about that warehouse fire.

And whether you are involved
in a cover-up.

What would I like to hide?
-She wants to know too.

She also has a problem.
Conspiracy with a policeman.

We can get her on that.

If I knew what I
wanted to keep everyone from, I would succeed.

The jury comes in again.

If you believe the suspect
was provoked...

...the verdict would be not
murder, but manslaughter.

ls that an answer to your question?
Okay, go.

We're doing another ballot.
-Why don't we let him go?

Because he did it.
-What would you do?

It doesn't matter what
anyone else would do.

Of course it is. any reasonable person
would have done the same.

Not weeks after the event.

He was provoked.
The discharge just took a long time.

Was there a reason?

What if we don't agree?
-Then the case will be dropped.

wrong. We will come back tomorrow and the day after tomorrow
with the same disagreement.

But I won't come tomorrow.
I agree with you: guilty.

But you thought it was provocation.
- I have my own company.

You can't run like that.
- He can.

He can't change his mind
because of his job.

Let's vote.
-Hands up for: guilty.

We have a 1 0-2 majority.
That's enough.

We're out.
We can live with 1 0-2.

Only if the judge
sends us that way.

Then we're going to listen to him.
-Who thinks he's innocent?

What are you doing? Put your hand down.
-I've changed my mind. 9-3.

You can't do that.
- You did too.

Let's go over the evidence
again.

I'll tell you, Simon.

Mrs Mills, can I have a word with you?

The Honorable may not be
here much longer, so lay low.

Why do you say that?
-Stand up.

Do you think you can reach a verdict before half past four ?

I don't think so, Your Honor.
-Good.

I'm sending you home. Then you can continue this
important discussion tomorrow.

You may only
discuss this case in the presence of fellow jury members.

You will return to the jury room at ten o'clock
in the morning.

Do you stand.

Simon, with Willy Radcliff.
We may have a problem.

A juror has spoken
to a protester.

Have you notified the Honorable yet?

We can give a new judge
a re-examination.

Deed's going to kick ass
if he finds out our plans.

How do you rate the jury?
-Unreliable.

In that case, we need to know what Deed
's up to. Let me know what he says.

We have a problem. The doorman saw
a juror talking to a protester.

Is he sure it was a juror?

Naturally.
There's nothing more we can do tonight .

Are you going to handle it in court?
-Yes, I think in closed session.

I understand that, despite my
express order not to do it...

...one of you has had contact
with a protester.

Do I have to mention the name
or does the perpetrator stand up?

What do you have to say about this yourself,
Mr Reid?

I wanted to ask why they
thought it was a racist trial.

You can
get jail time for this.

I could fire the jury
and we'd have to start over.

It is unfair to
the accused or the taxpayer.

Are you a taxpayer?
-Yes, I have a small printing business.

Your presence here will be difficult
and you will probably want to return to your print shop.

But I will not send you
to jail.

I'm not even going to send you off
to continue with eleven jurors.

Unless one of the lawyers
objects...

...I insist that you do your duty...

...and trust your word
that you have not been influenced.

I think we
've handled this maturely.

If you have no objections,
Mrs Mills, we can proceed.

Can we discuss something in your room?
-Do you have the right to speak here?

That's what I thought. There's no closed
session anymore.

The jury continues
its deliberations.

Why do you think Dymock
has something?

Because he hangs out here. I've
been stupid with my daughter.

That's what fathers are for. That is why
Haart is hanging over his head for life.

Advocating provocation
won't help me, Jo.

He has less than you think.
He's not the type to keep quiet.

He won't be able to
start again because the judge has been dishonored.

Do one more thing for your client.

When the jury finds him guilty later,
and they do...

...then have him make a statement.
-What's the point?

If he's guilty,
there's only one verdict.

I'm sure he
wants to tell his story.

I'm having a boring official dinner.

On reflection, you
made a wise decision this morning.

How is your daughter?
You keep her out of trouble?

We certainly try.
-This is lshbel McDonald.

She is the Attorney General.
She has something for you.

This has been submitted to The Guardian
to publish tomorrow.

It's about how you plotted
to kill your daughter and Rory Brown...

...to help avoid an
arson charge.

You might consider
submitting your resignation.

If you go to the press,
you will be arrested.

You broke
into the police computer with a police officer.

You may not go to
jail for that, but your career is over.

And yours if she says who
gave her the order.

Be careful
when disposing of this.

Your Honor, there is telephone.
It's your daughter.

Tell her I'll call her back.
-He'll call you back.

What was that?
Can we talk?

Too many lines in the house.
Can you stay out of trouble?

It does take effort.
-Remember what I told you.

Your friend can be dangerous. I ca
n't bear if something happens to you.

I'm going to lay low.
I can't use a criminal record...

...when I go back to law
school.

Do you have a statement
with at least ten proponents?

And.

Do you consider the suspect Maurice Haart
guilty or innocent of murder?

Guilty.
-Was that the statement of all of you...

...or of a majority?
-Of a majority.

How many agreed
and how many disagreed?

Ten agree and two disagree.

Good. Sit down, please.

Throughout this process you have
chosen to remain silent, Mr Haart.

Conclusions are often
drawn from this, rightly or wrongly.

You have been found guilty of murder.
There is only one verdict.

Is there anything else you want to say to this court
before I rule?

I'm sorry for the trouble I
've caused everyone.

Especially for Mrs. Redburn. I know
she and her husband were divorced.

But because of what had happened,
he had no chance to change.

People can change.
Suffering makes people change.

You cannot comprehend that you will
outlive your child. Sadness makes you angry.

There's nowhere to go,
there's no way out.

Nine years of working in a nursing home
could not have prepared me for this.

I stayed at work or wandered
the streets.

I couldn't go home...

...knowing that I would
see something of her that I could not give away.

When your mother died, Mona,
social services said...

...that I
couldn't take care of you alone.

They wanted to put you in foster care
, but I wouldn't let it.

It went so well between us.

I've wondered over and over...

...why you
had to do that paper route.

I should have stopped you.

You wanted to save to visit your grandmother
in Jamaica.

Every cent you put aside.
Everything is in one account.

249 pond.

You only needed 60 pounds.

I abandoned you.
And now you're gone.

Gone for good and nothing
can bring you back.

I even walked you round to be in
the streets you used to go to.

Then one morning I saw him.

I heard screeching tires and there
he was in the same truck again.

It was only four weeks after
the court released him.

There he was again as if nothing
had ever happened. Something inside me snapped.

I sat on the curb
and cried.

I don't remember much after that.
-We made a mistake.

I just wish he
couldn't kill Mona.

That he
couldn't kill my little girl.

Sorry.

Thank you, Mr. Hart. Maybe
someone has some tissues.

Could it be that you
made a mistake...

...considering what you just
heard?

You cannot do this.
The decision is binding.

This is indeed possible,
there is a precedent.

The state against Miss Cassaroto.

The jury president then made a mistake.

You ask the jury to
change their mind, after what they've heard.

The state against...
-Take it easy, Mr. Stafford-Clark.

I'm just checking that
the jury president, as you said...

...made a mistake.
-Your Honor...

We were wrong too.
We want to change the pronunciation.

This is completely against the rules.
-No, mistakes are made.

I accept what the jury has said.
Ask for the verdict again.

The judge is behind you, not in front of you.
Ask again for the verdict.

Not.

Do you consider the suspect Maurice Haart
guilty or innocent of murder?

Innocent.

In the other case, do you consider the suspect
guilty or innocent...

...to manslaughter for provocation?

We consider the suspect innocent.

You consider him innocent of murder
and manslaughter?

Yes, innocent.

All right, I accept
your amended statement.

You can go, Mr. Haart.
It's all over.

Do you stand.

Do you think we can get away with it?
-They were very happy with the decision.

You can never see through a jury. I did n't want to
let him go completely free.

That was amazing. How did you
know the jury would turn?

But can I get away with it?
-They can't reverse it.

The permanent secretary can
scold me, or the minister.

Then I really have a problem.

Justice is going to file a complaint.

The jury made a mistake.
-That wasn't a mistake.

You changed the jury's mind
.

You let your emotions guide you.
-Oh yeah?

I'm curious about the complaint.

What case was the prosecutor talking about?

Maybe I should just
lay low for a while.

Don't resign.
Judges like you are needed.

Now first a drink.

Then lunch and make love with you,
not necessarily in that order.

I love you too much for that.
