I love that you put into everything you do, when you've got a wig on.

0:00:020:00:03

I am the only reason that you're allowed to carry on existing.

0:00:030:00:05

You have lots in common, you and Elizabeth -

0:00:050:00:07

brave, strong, surrounded by men, saying no to all of them.

0:00:070:00:10

-How long?

-DOCTOR: Every case is different.

0:00:100:00:13

-Keep an eye.

-I won't be here,

0:00:130:00:15

because I'm dying.

0:00:150:00:17

Your clients come first. But where are they, Martha? Here with you now?

0:00:170:00:20

There is one thing I'll be asking for in return.

0:00:200:00:23

I can't be only a lawyer, Clive.

0:00:230:00:25

-But, Martha...

-Will you just leave me alone?

0:00:250:00:27

HE SNIFFS

0:01:080:01:10

-Billy Lamb?

-What do you want?

0:01:110:01:13

-I'm a solicitor.

-Well, that's a relief.

0:01:130:01:16

It's family. I...I really need your help.

0:01:160:01:19

I need Martha Costello.

0:01:190:01:21

Well, why didn't you say so? Come in, come in.

0:01:210:01:24

HE PANTS

0:01:260:01:29

HE SIGHS

0:01:330:01:35

I came in today with verve in my loins.

0:01:350:01:38

My question is, can I make it to the end of the day feeling the same way?

0:01:380:01:42

Your grooming trial, miss...

0:01:420:01:43

-Yes, John?

-..turned into a conspiracy.

0:01:430:01:45

-Just like that?

-Well, no-one could get hold of you.

0:01:450:01:48

And the CPS have just delivered a batch of phone logs.

0:01:480:01:51

-A batch?

-A...bit more than that.

0:01:510:01:54

-Right.

-And your judge is Alan Cowdrey.

0:01:540:01:57

The words I'm waiting to hear are, "But don't worry,

0:01:580:02:02

"I've got you a junior and they're already on it."

0:02:020:02:05

Sorry, miss.

0:02:050:02:06

Get Jake to shift that lot.

0:02:060:02:08

Jake left. Remember?

0:02:080:02:10

Worth remembering, Harriet, I'm the talent, darling.

0:02:120:02:16

You're backstage.

0:02:160:02:17

KNOCK AT DOOR

0:02:220:02:23

Miss, this is Dani Kakwani.

0:02:240:02:26

Martha Costello.

0:02:280:02:30

The, er...Arizona bombing.

0:02:310:02:32

What about it?

0:02:350:02:36

Hassan Makhdoom was blown up in the attack.

0:02:360:02:38

His brother Sajit survived and is about to stand trial.

0:02:380:02:42

So...

0:02:420:02:44

The US want to extradite someone else from Wolverhampton Tech.

0:02:440:02:46

My nephew Rashid, they're saying he was involved,

0:02:460:02:50

that he did some sort of hacking to plan for their attack.

0:02:500:02:53

-Some sort of hacking?

-This is the US Government.

0:02:530:02:57

They're not big on sharing their thoughts

0:02:570:02:58

with a solicitor whose dad was born in Lahore.

0:02:580:03:00

-I'm not an extradition lawyer.

-Nor am I,

0:03:000:03:03

but Rashid's running out of options

0:03:030:03:04

and the judge doesn't want the case reopened.

0:03:040:03:07

I need someone who's going to fight for him.

0:03:070:03:09

Even if I wanted to help, you need someone who understands the arguments.

0:03:090:03:13

-Clive, you've done extradition.

-Once. Never again.

0:03:150:03:18

-Why?

-Because you lose.

0:03:180:03:20

CLEARS THROAT

0:03:200:03:21

Can I see?

0:03:230:03:24

You could argue improper purpose.

0:03:310:03:33

Looks like the US have drawn up charges without knowing if he's involved,

0:03:330:03:36

to get him into the interrogation programme, to find out if he is.

0:03:360:03:38

It's what they do.

0:03:380:03:39

-Lying so they can torture people.

-I didn't say that.

0:03:390:03:42

Yes, you did.

0:03:420:03:43

Oh, good. You two have found each other.

0:03:430:03:46

His parents are good people.

0:03:500:03:52

He plays cricket in the street, for goodness' sake.

0:03:520:03:54

There's no way he's mixed up in this.

0:03:540:03:56

KEYS JANGLE

0:03:580:04:01

GATE BUZZES AND BEEPS

0:04:010:04:03

I never even knew the brothers.

0:04:100:04:12

They were at my college, that's all.

0:04:130:04:15

And I'm a follower of the Prophet.

0:04:170:04:19

Violence is haram. I could have never done what they're saying.

0:04:190:04:22

Rashid, if the US is trying to get you there to interrogate,

0:04:220:04:25

we can still argue improper purpose.

0:04:250:04:28

That's what they do in Guantanamo, isn't it?

0:04:280:04:30

They don't tell you why you're there. They... They don't show you anything.

0:04:310:04:35

But this is England.

0:04:350:04:37

My father came here when he was 18

0:04:370:04:39

because he wanted to live in the home of democracy.

0:04:390:04:43

And now he has to hear his son...called a terrorist.

0:04:440:04:48

And his son can't even tell him what the evidence is.

0:04:500:04:53

Why?

0:04:550:04:56

That sounds like a good place to start.

0:04:560:04:58

Asking why and not taking no for an answer.

0:05:000:05:04

If they decide to make me their scapegoat, I will not get on that plane.

0:05:040:05:09

I don't care what I have to do to myself.

0:05:100:05:13

I'll do it.

0:05:150:05:16

Prosecution as the promised land?

0:05:180:05:20

You have to give the people hope.

0:05:200:05:22

Yeah, but some of the people here have never done prosecution.

0:05:220:05:25

CW is moving in on the junior end and the squeezed middle

0:05:250:05:28

cos she sees how unhappy they are.

0:05:280:05:30

She thinks a bit of agitprop will get their votes.

0:05:300:05:33

Her message is one of despair.

0:05:330:05:34

What? And I'm hope?

0:05:340:05:36

Well, if CW is despair and I'm hope, what's Martha?

0:05:370:05:39

I don't think she knows.

0:05:390:05:40

Hello, Billy.

0:05:400:05:42

In with the new.

0:05:470:05:49

Out with the old.

0:05:490:05:50

-What hearing?

-JOHN: We sent a pupil.

0:05:520:05:54

Amy Lang. It was a five-minute application to move the trial date forward.

0:05:540:05:57

-To Monday. Did Ms Lang fight it?

-She had your dates.

0:05:570:06:01

And there's no clash in my diary, so in your clerking brain

0:06:010:06:03

the fact that I've got about 100 hours of preparation to do...

0:06:030:06:07

Miss, I'll understand if you don't want to carry on with the campaign.

0:06:070:06:10

I want you to get everyone in chambers

0:06:100:06:12

who is as fed up as I am with this nightmare of a life

0:06:120:06:15

and send them to see me.

0:06:150:06:16

I am their candidate.

0:06:160:06:18

I am sick and tired of being exhausted because there's no legal aid for juniors,

0:06:180:06:22

which means I stay up all night every night working on complex trials

0:06:220:06:26

only to be told I'm a fat cat by a government

0:06:260:06:28

full of the fattest cats in the history of fatness!

0:06:280:06:31

And get me Amy.

0:06:310:06:32

Since she's happy for this trial to start so soon, she can bloody well help.

0:06:320:06:36

Hello, miss.

0:06:360:06:38

I need you to call Damian Garner at the Maudsley.

0:06:380:06:41

I want a full psychiatric assessment on Rashid Hirani.

0:06:410:06:43

-Done.

-How was your con, by the way?

0:06:430:06:46

Forget abuse of process. I'm going to fight and win on mental-health grounds.

0:06:460:06:51

What mental-health grounds?

0:06:510:06:52

-He wants to kill himself.

-Martha...

0:06:520:06:54

-Shoe Lane.

-I'm sorry, but it's the right argument.

0:06:540:06:57

He's a vulnerable child and what they're doing to him is abusive.

0:06:570:07:00

He's being destroyed by an unjust process.

0:07:000:07:02

If they get him to the States, they'll get him to say whatever they want him to.

0:07:020:07:04

Hold the line, would you, please?

0:07:040:07:06

-CLEARS THROAT

-Miss, I've got an Elizabeth Forester from the US Embassy.

0:07:060:07:09

Says she'd like to speak to you and that she could save you a lot of effort.

0:07:090:07:13

-Martha.

-Er...Amy, sorry,

0:07:140:07:16

just got to take this call. Thank you.

0:07:160:07:19

Hello, Martha Costello.

0:07:190:07:20

Amy?

0:07:200:07:21

-What is it?

-Amy, can you come with me, please?

0:07:220:07:26

It's nothing.

0:07:260:07:27

We don't need regulating. If we're not good enough, we don't get the work.

0:07:310:07:35

JOHN: Miss?

0:07:350:07:37

Amy, you're not busy, are you? Good.

0:07:370:07:39

The grooming trial you so kindly agreed to bring forward for me.

0:07:390:07:42

The evidence the police just sent me is in there.

0:07:420:07:45

Read it, schedule the hell out of it, and tell me everything I need to know.

0:07:450:07:49

We have three days.

0:07:490:07:50

So, can I count on your vote, David?

0:07:500:07:53

CW CHUCKLES

0:07:530:07:55

-AMERICAN ACCENT:

-I understand that you saw Rashid today.

0:07:580:08:00

Who told you that?

0:08:020:08:04

I thought you should know that the US takes its duty of care to prisoners,

0:08:040:08:07

especially vulnerable prisoners, very seriously...

0:08:070:08:10

Who told you that I saw Rashid today?

0:08:100:08:13

..which is why I'd like you to consider these assurances.

0:08:130:08:16

First of all, we can now guarantee that Rashid will not go to Guantanamo Bay.

0:08:180:08:22

There was never any mention of Guantanamo.

0:08:220:08:25

We can also guarantee, if you co-operate,

0:08:250:08:27

that as a UK citizen, he will not face the death penalty.

0:08:270:08:31

But if he goes into your prison system he will be living under 23-hour lockdown,

0:08:310:08:37

he won't see his family,

0:08:370:08:38

he won't have proper access to legal advice,

0:08:380:08:41

and, as present history suggests, you'll be employing interrogation techniques,

0:08:410:08:45

which, to be frank, are a little bit bloody medieval.

0:08:450:08:49

Martha, due to the importance of this case, we will make more compromises.

0:08:490:08:54

Why are you sounding like a press officer?

0:08:540:08:57

We can just speak English.

0:08:570:08:59

Rashid will be housed under regular US prison conditions.

0:08:590:09:03

He will have 24-hour access to medical supervision.

0:09:030:09:06

We'll provide him with his own psychologist

0:09:060:09:07

and he will be free to choose his own attorney in accordance with Arizona law.

0:09:070:09:12

He's not well enough, even with your assurances.

0:09:120:09:15

-ELIZABETH:

-Hm.

0:09:150:09:16

Isn't it odd how suicide is a terrible sin for Muslims,

0:09:180:09:22

except when they're blowing themselves up or about to face extradition?

0:09:220:09:26

-So, are...are you leaving?

-Excuse me?

0:09:270:09:31

Because I haven't finished yet.

0:09:310:09:34

If we don't win on the mental-health argument,

0:09:340:09:37

we will go back to improper purpose.

0:09:370:09:40

There's not enough detail on the charges

0:09:400:09:42

to prove that you're not just getting Rashid over for interrogation.

0:09:420:09:45

OK, if that's the case,

0:09:450:09:47

then the US Government is happy to add a little flesh to the indictment.

0:09:470:09:52

We know where the hacking happened, Martha, we know when it was done,

0:09:520:09:55

and the minute Rashid hits US soil,

0:09:550:09:58

he will go on trial for conspiracy to murder innocent Americans.

0:09:580:10:01

Good day.

0:10:060:10:07

Sami Allahu liman Hamidah.

0:10:100:10:13

Allahu Akbar.

0:10:130:10:15

Allahu Akbar.

0:10:160:10:18

Allahu Akbar.

0:10:190:10:21

Allahu Akbar.

0:10:230:10:25

Rashid, I know you've lost faith in this process,

0:10:260:10:30

but we have an opportunity now, a small one.

0:10:300:10:33

The US has added information to your charges because they want us to give up.

0:10:350:10:40

Our one hope is that somewhere in what they've added there's a mistake or a lie.

0:10:400:10:45

I need you to answer some questions for me...truthfully.

0:10:480:10:52

Were you at the college at the time the attack was planned,

0:10:570:11:00

the two-day window they've got down here?

0:11:000:11:03

Yeah.

0:11:060:11:07

Were you in the hall of residence they say, with the brothers,

0:11:070:11:10

when the attack was planned, at the time?

0:11:100:11:13

Rashid, answer.

0:11:160:11:18

Yeah, I was.

0:11:200:11:21

And what about the room?

0:11:220:11:24

See, now, they say they can pinpoint that hacking to a specific computer

0:11:240:11:30

in a specific room.

0:11:300:11:32

-What is it?

-No. No, I was never in that room.

0:11:370:11:42

-And you're certain of that?

-Yeah.

0:11:420:11:45

The room they say I did that hacking in,

0:11:450:11:46

I...I never stepped foot in it during the time they say.

0:11:460:11:49

-Abuse of process.

-What?

0:11:510:11:53

When you wake up in the morning, the first three seconds of consciousness,

0:11:530:11:55

do you think about the case you're doing?

0:11:550:11:57

Yes.

0:11:570:11:58

Is it abuse of process,

0:11:580:12:01

if I can prove the US got details wrong on their charge summary?

0:12:010:12:04

Depends what and where.

0:12:040:12:05

Well, the US had put Rashid

0:12:050:12:06

in a specific room at a specific time doing this research.

0:12:060:12:09

Now, he says he wasn't there.

0:12:090:12:11

Martha, if they're being that specific, then they must have proof.

0:12:110:12:15

I bet you dream about them too.

0:12:150:12:18

-NORTHERN ACCENT:

-All right, Mar?

0:12:180:12:19

You probably don't share cigarettes any more, do you?

0:12:200:12:25

-I don't smoke roll-ups any more.

-No, not here, not with this crowd.

0:12:250:12:28

It's amazing in here, but it makes you feel like you're not allowed in.

0:12:280:12:32

20 years ago, you'd have said that was anti-democratic.

0:12:320:12:34

Why are you here, Sean?

0:12:350:12:36

-I was passing.

-Oh, right, you were passing?

0:12:360:12:38

I was passing, and I thought,

0:12:380:12:40

"What happened to the girl that broke my teenage heart?"

0:12:400:12:42

Um...listen, I'll, er... I'll see you in chambers.

0:12:420:12:45

Yeah.

0:12:450:12:47

-Not your husband, is he?

-And what would you say if he was?

0:12:490:12:52

I'd ask you why you married a big dolphin.

0:12:520:12:54

I hope he's not the jealous type

0:12:540:12:56

cos I would love to go for a coffee with you, Martha Costello.

0:12:560:13:01

First you tell me why you're here... and then I'll think about coffee.

0:13:010:13:06

Maybe another time, then.

0:13:080:13:09

Who was that? Mr Mysterious.

0:13:220:13:25

Sean McBride.

0:13:270:13:29

Right. Thanks. Who's Sean McBride?

0:13:290:13:31

He's...

0:13:310:13:34

He's what I used to be.

0:13:340:13:36

Well, anyway, um... if you want to argue abuse of process,

0:13:380:13:41

it's not enough to say that the information was false.

0:13:410:13:43

You have to prove that the US knew it was false.

0:13:430:13:46

And how the hell are you going to do that...

0:13:460:13:48

Mar?

0:13:480:13:49

Ah! Put extradition on the chambers website, would you, Harriet?

0:13:500:13:53

Another string to the Shoe Lane bow.

0:13:530:13:56

-Well done.

-Whoa!

0:13:560:13:57

-Was that a compliment?

-I always give credit where it's due.

0:13:570:14:01

Maybe it's the female mind - open, capable of thinking beyond dull prejudice.

0:14:010:14:06

What, and Clive Reader's a better candidate than Martha Costello

0:14:060:14:08

for head of chambers?

0:14:080:14:10

I think so.

0:14:100:14:11

-Do you fancy him, Harriet?

-What's that got to do with anything?

0:14:110:14:14

-I'm just asking.

-Just sexist.

0:14:140:14:16

Imagine if I asked you the same question.

0:14:160:14:18

-What? Do I fancy Clive Reader?

-Do you fancy Martha Costello?

0:14:180:14:20

How I feel about Miss Costello surpasseth all understanding.

0:14:200:14:26

Talking of medieval, you know what amazes me?

0:14:420:14:45

How much energy you're expending

0:14:450:14:46

on someone who would ban you from working and getting an education,

0:14:460:14:49

and who would expect you to walk behind him all the way back to the 13th century.

0:14:490:14:52

Have you been practising that speech?

0:14:520:14:55

Are women even allowed to drive in Saudi Arabia?

0:14:550:14:57

You see, there's a disconnect.

0:14:590:15:01

Rashid is 19 years old. He's an individual. He feels like a victim.

0:15:010:15:05

But the real victims?

0:15:050:15:07

Frances Brady, Adam Gilmartin, Joey Maldini, Angel Valera.

0:15:070:15:12

Four University of West Arizona students,

0:15:120:15:15

enjoying their graduation day, with the whole of their lives ahead of them,

0:15:150:15:18

when they were blown to pieces.

0:15:180:15:21

Brady was pregnant.

0:15:210:15:22

That's not the point.

0:15:220:15:24

If that's not, what is?

0:15:240:15:26

Oh, didn't you know? I've got dual qualification.

0:15:280:15:31

With this much lazy anti-American feeling around,

0:15:310:15:34

we think it's better that an American stands up for America.

0:15:340:15:39

-That's the point.

-Sorry?

0:15:390:15:42

There's a principle that transcends national interest and religion

0:15:420:15:46

and...well, everything else.

0:15:460:15:49

Habeas corpus, Elizabeth, the right to be tried,

0:15:490:15:53

the right to know what you're accused of so that you can defend yourself.

0:15:530:15:57

USHER: All rise.

0:16:020:16:05

-JUDGE:

-Miss Costello...

0:16:170:16:19

-CLEARS THROAT

-..from what I can see from your skeleton argument,

0:16:190:16:23

you want to reopen this appeal by arguing that there's been an abuse of process

0:16:230:16:28

and forcing the United States

0:16:280:16:30

to show you all the evidence they have against Rashid Hirani?

0:16:300:16:34

-Your Lordship will have seen...

-I'm a direct man, Miss Costello,

0:16:340:16:37

and I've been told you're the same.

0:16:370:16:38

I do not want this appeal reopened without good reason.

0:16:380:16:42

Now, what is the answer to my question?

0:16:420:16:44

My client has always maintained he was set up

0:16:440:16:47

and now there's a discrepancy that confirms that.

0:16:470:16:50

Why has it taken six months for him to remember this?

0:16:500:16:52

The United States have only just added the specific location.

0:16:520:16:57

The, er...room in the hall of residence.

0:16:570:17:00

This is our first chance to respond to it.

0:17:000:17:02

This detail is crucial

0:17:020:17:06

because it's the only thing that links him to the conspiracy.

0:17:060:17:10

Ms Forester?

0:17:100:17:12

My lord, whatever Mr Hirani claims,

0:17:120:17:16

we are confident that he was in that room at the time the hacking was activated.

0:17:160:17:20

We can put him there.

0:17:200:17:22

We're happy to let the court see further evidence,

0:17:220:17:25

if it can help bring this process to an end.

0:17:250:17:27

You have two days.

0:17:280:17:30

USHER: All rise.

0:17:310:17:33

-CW:

-What's our listing?

0:17:410:17:42

Er...court nine, first on at ten.

0:17:420:17:45

-Time now?

-Ten to.

0:17:450:17:46

So, fill me in. The phone logs?

0:17:460:17:48

Er...there's lots.

0:17:480:17:50

Yes, Amy. Bottom line, is it for us or against us?

0:17:500:17:52

From what I've seen, um...

0:17:520:17:55

the stuff I've been able to examine has been mainly from the men to the girl.

0:17:550:17:59

OK.

0:17:590:18:00

-Er...

-I've asked you to prepare a schedule.

0:18:020:18:04

I'm guessing you haven't done that, so all I want is a simple, clear answer instead.

0:18:040:18:08

Does this work for us or not?

0:18:080:18:11

The material mainly consists of calls and texts that suggest bullying and coercion.

0:18:110:18:15

So, yeah.

0:18:150:18:17

Yes, I... I'd say it definitely helps us

0:18:170:18:19

in trying to prove that there was a conspiracy.

0:18:190:18:21

There.

0:18:210:18:23

Wasn't so hard.

0:18:230:18:24

Hello, Caroline.

0:18:310:18:33

So exciting to be against you. One just doesn't know what's coming.

0:18:330:18:36

-SMACKS LIPS

-Which Albanian paedophile are you representing?

0:18:360:18:41

Touch of racism there.

0:18:410:18:43

Under pressure, are we?

0:18:430:18:45

I don't need to remind you that this is the property of the US Government,

0:18:450:18:49

so if you leak it or share it with any party not involved in this case,

0:18:490:18:52

you're in violation of US law and at risk of prosecution.

0:18:520:18:55

I don't know. Maybe a drink would do it.

0:18:550:18:56

What?

0:18:560:18:58

Stop you making speeches and get you talking instead.

0:18:580:19:01

I know it's hard for you to accept what Rashid was part of,

0:19:010:19:04

but our investigators were pushed to the limit finding this material.

0:19:040:19:07

It was hidden deep on his hard drive.

0:19:070:19:09

Once you've had a chance to look at that, I hope you can accept it,

0:19:090:19:13

however painful that may be.

0:19:130:19:15

Oh, hello.

0:19:170:19:19

-Clive Reader.

-I know.

0:19:190:19:22

Thank you, Elizabeth. I think we've got everything.

0:19:220:19:25

-WHISPERS:

-Jesus, that woman!

0:19:310:19:33

What's this?

0:19:340:19:35

Evidence, apparently, that Rashid Hirani is linked to the bombing.

0:19:350:19:40

I mean, half of it's redacted.

0:19:400:19:42

That's to protect the security services who gathered it. Look.

0:19:420:19:45

The MI5 seal,

0:19:450:19:46

telling you that the bulk of the evidence that the US is relying on

0:19:460:19:48

has actually been gathered by British intelligence.

0:19:480:19:50

That's why they're so confident.

0:19:500:19:52

So, none of this links to the bombing.

0:19:520:19:54

What are you talking about?

0:19:540:19:55

Jihadi websites.

0:19:550:19:57

Searches on Yemeni training camps.

0:19:580:20:01

This does not put him in room 132, hacking into security details.

0:20:010:20:05

Martha, if they've got this, imagine what else they've got.

0:20:050:20:07

Well, maybe this is everything.

0:20:070:20:08

Rashid is radicalised. Why can't you see that?

0:20:080:20:11

I am only interested in whether he's linked directly to doing that research.

0:20:110:20:15

Well, is this clear enough for you?

0:20:150:20:17

You said you didn't even know the Makhdoom brothers.

0:20:240:20:26

I mean, what did you think? They wouldn't find these?

0:20:260:20:30

Answer her, Rashid!

0:20:350:20:37

These photos aren't right.

0:20:370:20:39

This is a picture of you in a corridor

0:20:390:20:43

with the two people who set off the bomb in Arizona,

0:20:430:20:45

and that's not all.

0:20:450:20:47

They've got you outside the room

0:20:470:20:49

where they say the university's security details were hacked,

0:20:490:20:52

and, this is the killer blow,

0:20:520:20:54

they've got a witness

0:20:540:20:57

who says they can place you in the room where the hacking was done.

0:20:570:21:01

Rashid.

0:21:010:21:03

-We believed you.

-I promise.

0:21:030:21:06

I was never in that room.

0:21:060:21:08

Is that you or isn't it?

0:21:080:21:10

I only met them briefly.

0:21:160:21:17

I didn't admit it, because I know how it would look,

0:21:210:21:22

but I...I only met them once, on that day.

0:21:220:21:25

And what happened?

0:21:250:21:27

Sorry, but if...if you've lied about this,

0:21:270:21:30

how am I supposed to believe you're still innocent?

0:21:300:21:33

Because there was someone else there as well.

0:21:330:21:35

He was the one who said that we should meet the brothers.

0:21:370:21:40

He was the one that pushed me into it...

0:21:420:21:44

..who said...

0:21:460:21:48

if we were true Muslims, we'd listen to what they had to say.

0:21:480:21:53

Rashid, who are you talking about?

0:21:530:21:56

I'm talking about someone who was there.

0:21:560:21:59

I'm talking about a friend.

0:22:000:22:02

He should have been in that photo.

0:22:090:22:11

He was at that meeting, and...and whoever gave this to you has taken him out.

0:22:110:22:15

-MARTHA:

-What was his name, Rashid?

0:22:150:22:17

I promised.

0:22:180:22:19

LOW CHATTER (This is how you open, Amy.)

0:22:250:22:28

Get it right and, by the time you sit down, the trial can be effectively over.

0:22:280:22:32

Yes, Ms Warwick?

0:22:320:22:33

CLEARS THROAT

0:22:330:22:35

Ladies and gentlemen of the jury,

0:22:350:22:38

this was a case of systematic and brutal exploitation.

0:22:380:22:43

Three men identified, isolated, groomed and terrorised a vulnerable teenager.

0:22:430:22:50

They separated her from her family

0:22:500:22:54

and used her for their own revolting sexual purposes.

0:22:540:22:59

She is 17.

0:22:590:23:00

They are all over 40.

0:23:000:23:03

The defence will seek to portray her actions as consenting,

0:23:040:23:08

but all you need to know

0:23:080:23:10

is that in one three-week period

0:23:100:23:14

this victim was bombarded by over 2,000 texts, e-mails and calls from these men,

0:23:140:23:22

a relentless barrage of disgusting demands

0:23:220:23:25

that this young victim was hopelessly ill-equipped to resist.

0:23:250:23:29

These alone demonstrate the defendants conspired to...

0:23:290:23:34

This is the first time that I've ever had to do this, my lord,

0:23:340:23:38

and it gives me no pleasure,

0:23:380:23:41

but I feel compelled to interrupt my learned friend

0:23:410:23:44

and ask that the jury leave the court.

0:23:440:23:46

Jury, five minutes, please.

0:23:500:23:51

LOW CHATTER

0:23:540:23:56

Never in my whole career have I had an opening interrupted.

0:23:590:24:04

You are blatantly misleading the jury.

0:24:040:24:06

In at least 40% of the material that my learned friend is talking about...

0:24:070:24:14

..it was from the complainant to the men, not the other way round.

0:24:160:24:20

I'm so sorry. I was sure I'd gone through this box.

0:24:270:24:30

These texts are from the girl.

0:24:370:24:39

I thought I'd said I wasn't sure. Look, I'm sorry, I'm just a bit stressed.

0:24:390:24:43

We're all stressed, ducky. It's the Criminal Bar.

0:24:430:24:47

SHE SIGHS

0:24:480:24:49

I'm sorry.

0:24:490:24:51

And don't worry.

0:24:510:24:52

It's not fatal.

0:24:540:24:55

PHONES RING

0:24:580:25:00

-It's for Martha. It's from the Maudsley.

-Thanks.

0:25:000:25:04

-There's a message from the doctor.

-Sure.

0:25:040:25:07

-So, what's happened?

-He didn't deny he met the brothers.

0:25:090:25:11

But he says there was someone else there,

0:25:110:25:13

somebody he doesn't want to get into trouble, who knew them better,

0:25:130:25:16

and someone who was in this image before it was altered.

0:25:160:25:19

Did you believe him?

0:25:190:25:21

I don't know.

0:25:210:25:22

Ooh! Whose are these?

0:25:250:25:26

They came for you, miss. Actually, they were hand-delivered.

0:25:260:25:28

Grateful client, maybe?

0:25:280:25:30

Possibly.

0:25:310:25:32

-Amy?

-Can I have a word?

0:25:350:25:36

What's he look like, then, flower man?

0:25:460:25:48

Tall, dark, handsome.

0:25:480:25:51

Northern.

0:25:510:25:52

-How's the trial?

-Erm...not great.

0:25:530:25:57

-Why?

-This isn't about the trial.

0:25:570:26:01

I've been trying to talk to you about this, but I didn't know how.

0:26:010:26:03

What is it?

0:26:050:26:07

Billy.

0:26:090:26:10

What about him?

0:26:120:26:13

He took me to the pub

0:26:150:26:17

and when we were there he promised that he'd get me tenancy.

0:26:170:26:19

Well...

0:26:200:26:22

And he said it while his hand was on my knee,

0:26:220:26:23

and the same thing happened a second time.

0:26:230:26:26

When?

0:26:260:26:28

At Alan Cowdrey's party.

0:26:280:26:30

Are you sure?

0:26:310:26:33

Yeah, and I swear I didn't do anything to encourage him.

0:26:340:26:37

I didn't do anything to lead him on.

0:26:370:26:40

SHE SNIFFS

0:26:400:26:42

The reason I didn't tell you was because I came here to learn from you,

0:26:420:26:46

not to be a part of some scandal,

0:26:460:26:49

and because if I don't get tenancy here, I don't know how I'm going to survive.

0:26:490:26:52

Right.

0:26:540:26:55

I want you to go home, get a good night's sleep and let me take care of it.

0:26:550:27:00

OK?

0:27:000:27:02

DANI: Martha.

0:27:070:27:08

What did you get?

0:27:100:27:11

I went to the college to find out

0:27:110:27:12

who was resident in room 132 and that's what I got.

0:27:120:27:14

Redacted. Did you try and...

0:27:140:27:17

They're not at liberty to share that information.

0:27:170:27:19

They said a man from the MOD had been in to see them.

0:27:190:27:21

MOD is what MI5 are when they're pretending to be normal.

0:27:210:27:24

So Rashid is protecting someone.

0:27:240:27:26

Yeah, but so are MI5 and, from what I can see, they're the same person.

0:27:260:27:30

Miss Costello,

0:27:300:27:31

this is not a trial. The evidence is not at issue.

0:27:310:27:35

My lord, but the process by which the evidence was acquired is.

0:27:350:27:39

It appears to us that there is another individual involved,

0:27:390:27:43

someone who is right at the heart of this case

0:27:430:27:46

and whose...whose role and motive, as of yet, we don't understand.

0:27:460:27:50

My lord, this is all speculation

0:27:500:27:54

and it's making the UK extradition process look ridiculous.

0:27:540:27:57

The presence of this individual and his relationship to the security services

0:27:570:28:01

opens up questions that this court has to address.

0:28:010:28:04

My client says he's innocent,

0:28:040:28:06

so why did the United States pass us MI5 material that had been falsified?

0:28:060:28:13

What do you mean, falsified?

0:28:130:28:15

We believe there was a fourth person at this meeting, my lord,

0:28:150:28:19

and his presence has been obscured.

0:28:190:28:23

FOOTSTEPS

0:28:230:28:24

And you say that fourth person has been airbrushed out?

0:28:280:28:32

-ELIZABETH:

-My lord...

0:28:320:28:34

Miss Costello, whatever the role of this individual, if he or she exists,

0:28:360:28:42

the court cannot grant you permission to see everything you want to see.

0:28:420:28:45

-But, my lord...

-A great deal

0:28:450:28:47

of the material you've requested is classified intelligence material.

0:28:470:28:51

-MARTHA:

-Well, until this court examines that material,

0:28:510:28:53

then none of can say whether my client deserves to stand trial or not.

0:28:530:28:58

KNOCKS AT DOOR

0:29:160:29:18

You asked to see me?

0:29:210:29:23

She's...

0:29:330:29:36

very tenacious, Martha Costello.

0:29:360:29:38

HE SCOFFS

0:29:380:29:40

She's, er...committed.

0:29:400:29:43

Well, as a result of her efforts,

0:29:430:29:45

the Rashid Hirani extradition is now spiralling out of control.

0:29:450:29:49

She wants to see all classified evidence against her client.

0:29:500:29:54

The Americans are going berserk. They thought they had their man on the plane.

0:29:560:29:59

There is clearly an issue.

0:30:010:30:04

The exact role of an informant, on which far too much seems to rest.

0:30:040:30:09

You know the usual solution in situations that involve this much sensitive material?

0:30:100:30:16

You appoint someone to look at it,

0:30:160:30:18

who then makes sure that everyone's being fair to the defendant

0:30:180:30:21

without actually telling him what any of it says.

0:30:210:30:24

I need someone independent, Clive,

0:30:240:30:27

but also someone who understands the true complexity of the, er...situation.

0:30:270:30:33

We have a treaty with the US, a treaty we...we can't afford to damage.

0:30:330:30:38

Our security services are in a...delicate situation.

0:30:400:30:46

You know I'm in chambers with Martha Costello?

0:30:460:30:48

Tiny world, the Criminal Bar.

0:30:480:30:51

We'd never get anything done if you couldn't do cases with people you know.

0:30:510:30:54

And I'm sure you're entirely independent-minded.

0:30:550:30:59

Well done. We've just heard.

0:31:010:31:04

Er...yeah, just between you and me, I'd love to know how it happened.

0:31:040:31:07

-She knew who I was.

-Who?

0:31:080:31:11

Elizabeth Forester.

0:31:110:31:12

She must have seen your name on chambers' website.

0:31:120:31:14

The whole thing about special counsel is it's meant to be independent, Harriet.

0:31:140:31:19

Couldn't agree more.

0:31:190:31:21

Ah, special counsel, sir. Great honour.

0:31:210:31:24

-Who gave you the news?

-Lord Justice Reynolds.

0:31:240:31:26

Just you and him, was it? Cosy little chat?

0:31:260:31:30

Stood the Church clock at ten to three? And was there honey still for tea?

0:31:300:31:33

-I'm my own man, Billy.

-Course you are, sir.

0:31:330:31:35

Of course he is.

0:31:350:31:37

They came to me. I didn't approach them, if that's what you're thinking.

0:31:530:31:56

Yeah, well, you could have said no.

0:31:560:31:58

How often does something like this come along?

0:31:580:31:59

-SHE LAUGHS

-Oh, come on, Clive. You're being incredibly naive.

0:31:590:32:03

You don't think they picked you because you're the right man for the job?

0:32:030:32:06

They picked you because they want to wind me up.

0:32:060:32:09

They? Who are they? You're being delusional.

0:32:090:32:11

I saw how you reacted to the material the US served. And what?

0:32:110:32:14

All of a sudden, you're the only person who can look at secret material

0:32:140:32:17

and tell me whether someone else has unfairly incriminated my client?

0:32:170:32:22

Yes.

0:32:220:32:23

-How does Elizabeth know you?

-She doesn't.

0:32:250:32:27

And don't you think she might be a bit more concerned

0:32:270:32:29

about how well you know me?

0:32:290:32:30

I knew I had to reply immediately.

0:32:350:32:38

CW: Why?

0:32:380:32:40

Because of what they would do if I didn't.

0:32:400:32:42

What was that, Ashley?

0:32:420:32:44

They would threaten me,

0:32:440:32:47

and when they saw me again they would make me do things.

0:32:470:32:50

What sort of things?

0:32:520:32:53

They would force me to have sex.

0:32:530:32:56

So,

0:32:590:33:01

these...

0:33:010:33:03

texts and e-mails from you to the defendants...

0:33:030:33:07

I sent them because I had to.

0:33:070:33:09

Are you saying that you feel you had no choice other than to send them?

0:33:090:33:15

No.

0:33:150:33:17

None. I had no choice. I had to do whatever they wanted.

0:33:170:33:21

Thank you, Ashley.

0:33:220:33:24

"I sucked your cock, you fat bastard.

0:33:370:33:41

"You owe me the drugs."

0:33:410:33:43

-Did you write that, Ashley?

-I don't remember.

0:33:430:33:46

It's here in black and white,

0:33:460:33:47

one of 25 texts you sent over a two-hour period

0:33:470:33:53

on June 29th.

0:33:530:33:55

"Give me the drugs."

0:33:570:33:59

"Where are the drugs?" "You owe me those drugs."

0:33:590:34:02

-They used the drugs to control me!

-The truth is, Ashley,

0:34:020:34:05

that you were a prostitute. Isn't that right?

0:34:050:34:08

No.

0:34:080:34:09

You were a prostitute and you willingly gave those men

0:34:090:34:11

-sex for drugs.

-No!

0:34:110:34:13

And if the frequency of these calls proves anything,

0:34:130:34:16

it proves that you were determined

0:34:160:34:18

to extract whatever payment you could from them.

0:34:180:34:20

That's not true!

0:34:200:34:22

Shall I read the last text that you sent that day?

0:34:220:34:25

"Give me the drugs, you bastards,

0:34:250:34:28

"or I'll call the cops and tell them what a bunch of paedos you are."

0:34:280:34:32

MUTTERING

0:34:320:34:34

That's why we're here, isn't it?

0:34:340:34:37

Because these men didn't pay their prostitute on time.

0:34:370:34:42

Lunch?

0:34:440:34:46

DOOR SHUTS BEEPING

0:34:490:34:51

The court has appointed someone called special counsel.

0:34:530:34:57

That means all the material that's been used to establish a case against you

0:34:580:35:03

is going to be examined

0:35:030:35:04

so there's no point in protecting anyone any more.

0:35:040:35:07

Do you understand?

0:35:070:35:09

Now, whoever it is that you don't want to get into trouble,

0:35:100:35:13

whoever it is you thought you were being loyal to,

0:35:130:35:17

well, odds are that's who's betrayed you

0:35:170:35:20

and that's who MI5 are working with.

0:35:200:35:24

So you need to tell me everything.

0:35:240:35:27

Rashid?

0:35:290:35:30

It was after...

0:35:370:35:39

a big drone attack

0:35:390:35:41

on the Pakistani border.

0:35:410:35:43

The deaths used to get reported in the mosque...

0:35:450:35:48

..and this time a whole family died.

0:35:490:35:51

Four kids under ten.

0:35:530:35:55

There was a lot of anger, people saying someone had to do something.

0:35:590:36:03

Even the imam was furious.

0:36:030:36:06

Finally, as we were leaving, Salim said he knew some people we could talk to.

0:36:090:36:14

What did he say?

0:36:160:36:17

He said he knew these two brothers in our hall...

0:36:170:36:20

..and they were planning something.

0:36:220:36:23

The Makhdoom brothers?

0:36:230:36:25

Salim had met them before.

0:36:260:36:28

We talked, we prayed.

0:36:300:36:33

They told us they had a plan.

0:36:330:36:35

They didn't say what.

0:36:350:36:37

They said they knew I was good with computers

0:36:370:36:41

and could use the help getting security details of the University of West Arizona.

0:36:410:36:45

HE SIGHS

0:36:450:36:47

I agreed.

0:36:480:36:50

But, straight after, I got scared.

0:36:530:36:55

I didn't want to be part of it.

0:36:560:36:58

I told Salim I didn't want to do it. I... I didn't want to be involved.

0:36:580:37:02

So you were never in his room doing that research?

0:37:020:37:05

No.

0:37:050:37:07

But Salim went back in.

0:37:070:37:09

He must have done it, not me.

0:37:090:37:12

-Then what happened?

-I don't know.

0:37:120:37:15

After I told him I didn't want to do it, I...I saw him with them one more time

0:37:150:37:19

And then he told me he'd pulled out too.

0:37:220:37:23

Did he say why?

0:37:240:37:26

A few months later, the attacks happened.

0:37:320:37:34

I mean, we couldn't believe it. We were terrified.

0:37:350:37:37

But we promised we'd never say anything to incriminate the other.

0:37:390:37:43

And you thought he'd stuck to that?

0:37:430:37:45

I thought our friendship was part of my faith.

0:37:490:37:55

DANI: You know what we used to think in my family?

0:37:550:37:58

We used to think our problem with the next generation

0:37:580:38:00

would be that they'd be too westernised,

0:38:000:38:02

that we'd struggle to get them interested in our traditions.

0:38:020:38:06

Dani, you've got contacts in the police.

0:38:060:38:10

How about we go and have our own little conversation with Salim?

0:38:120:38:15

Thank you for seeing us.

0:38:530:38:54

What can I do for you?

0:38:540:38:56

I'm professionally embarrassed.

0:38:560:38:58

What do you mean? How?

0:38:580:39:00

In the short adjournment, I went to the robing room.

0:39:000:39:02

On the desk next to my bag, there was a sheet of paper.

0:39:020:39:05

I wasn't thinking, and I started to read it.

0:39:050:39:08

Well, what was it?

0:39:080:39:09

The first defendant's proof of evidence.

0:39:090:39:12

I'm afraid I have completely inadvertently given myself a huge advantage,

0:39:120:39:17

essentially meaning that these defendants wouldn't get a fair trial,

0:39:170:39:21

were I to continue prosecuting.

0:39:210:39:22

SHE SIGHS It is with great reluctance, I am obliged to withdraw,

0:39:220:39:28

as the bishop said to the actress.

0:39:280:39:31

Mr Lever?

0:39:310:39:33

I'm not sure my learned friend is so embarrassed she can't continue.

0:39:340:39:38

What you mean is that it's going really well for you right now

0:39:380:39:40

and the last thing you want to do is stop.

0:39:400:39:42

She's got a junior. Did she read the defendant's proof?

0:39:420:39:45

The whole point of having a junior

0:39:460:39:48

is that they can take over in a situation like this.

0:39:480:39:51

No, she didn't read it.

0:39:530:39:56

But...

0:39:560:39:58

..I did tell her what I'd read.

0:40:000:40:02

Then I have no choice but to discharge the jury

0:40:050:40:07

and order a new trial as soon as possible.

0:40:070:40:10

It is with huge regret that I'm afraid I just don't see any other way out.

0:40:100:40:16

Salim. What are you reading?

0:40:260:40:28

Politics?

0:40:290:40:31

After the attack, I didn't sleep for days.

0:40:330:40:36

Rashid had gone home, but I was still at college.

0:40:370:40:40

It only took 'em 48 hours to pick me up

0:40:410:40:43

and then it was straight to Paddington Green,

0:40:430:40:46

14 days' detention,

0:40:460:40:48

and every day being told they've got evidence

0:40:480:40:52

that could have me facing 150 years in a US jail.

0:40:520:40:55

I know what I'd do. I'd say anything to get out of there.

0:40:550:40:58

-I didn't say anything.

-MARTHA:

-But you did.

0:40:580:41:01

You told them

0:41:010:41:02

that Rashid had hacked into the university security plans for the brothers.

0:41:020:41:05

How could I have done it? He was the one who knew how to do that, not me.

0:41:050:41:09

Did you see him? I mean, did you actually see him,

0:41:090:41:11

in your room, at your machine, doing that research?

0:41:110:41:14

You think Rashid is innocent, because he's awkward and shy,

0:41:140:41:17

but you don't know him.

0:41:170:41:20

You didn't hear him talk every night when we read the Koran.

0:41:200:41:23

He was the one who said infidels would get what they deserved.

0:41:230:41:26

-Did you see him or not, Salim?

-I pulled out, OK?

0:41:260:41:30

Once I heard the details,

0:41:300:41:31

I didn't want anything to do with what the brothers were planning.

0:41:310:41:33

Neither did Rashid, so why incriminate him? Why do a deal with MI5?

0:41:330:41:38

You don't understand. I...I don't like what I've done to him,

0:41:380:41:42

but...but I had no choice.

0:41:420:41:44

No, you did,

0:41:440:41:46

and you still have.

0:41:460:41:49

You can come to court.

0:41:490:41:50

Come to court and admit that you never saw him do that hacking.

0:41:500:41:55

It's too late for that.

0:41:590:42:00

I went to see Salim Dasti.

0:42:230:42:24

-What?

-This whole case

0:42:260:42:28

rests on the word of one terrified boy against another,

0:42:280:42:31

and no proof of which is telling the truth.

0:42:310:42:33

Martha, enough.

0:42:330:42:35

Look, come on, Clive. Nobody's listening.

0:42:350:42:39

Why don't you talk to me properly? What have you seen?

0:42:390:42:43

All I'll say is, is that somebody helped the brothers.

0:42:460:42:49

They didn't plan the attack alone.

0:42:490:42:51

Salim was at the same meeting as Rashid,

0:42:510:42:54

so why not charge both boys?

0:42:540:42:56

Why work with one and punish the other?

0:42:560:42:59

What if I told you that there was something in the files

0:43:000:43:04

that has convinced me that Rashid was involved?

0:43:040:43:07

I wouldn't believe you.

0:43:070:43:09

You don't think I'd be honest with you?

0:43:090:43:11

I'm going to call Salim to give evidence, make him tell the truth.

0:43:130:43:18

PUB CHATTER

0:43:180:43:21

Want a drink, miss?

0:43:210:43:23

Excuse me.

0:43:250:43:27

CLEARS THROAT

0:43:270:43:30

Billy, Amy came to see me.

0:43:310:43:34

-About what?

-You promising her tenancy.

0:43:340:43:37

So?

0:43:370:43:39

With your hand on her knee.

0:43:390:43:41

-HE SCOFFS

-Hang on!

0:43:410:43:43

-She's very upset, Billy.

-Well, she's got it wrong.

0:43:430:43:45

-How?

-It's not what it looks like.

0:43:470:43:48

-Then what the hell is it?

-I couldn't have done anything like that.

0:43:480:43:51

I... Miss, since I've had the implants, I can't even...

0:43:510:43:55

-This is how it is for me now.

-Oh, Billy.

0:43:570:44:00

No, I don't want your pity, miss,

0:44:000:44:02

but I want you to know that I didn't do anything ugly or untoward with Miss Lang.

0:44:020:44:08

That is a misunderstanding.

0:44:080:44:09

Well, you need to apologise and tell her what's going on.

0:44:090:44:12

Miss?

0:44:120:44:14

You promised me that if this was affecting Shoe Lane, you would tell me.

0:44:140:44:19

If Amy makes an official complaint...

0:44:220:44:24

-It's the only way, Billy.

-HE SIGHS

0:44:270:44:29

KNOCKS AT DOOR

0:44:490:44:51

Miss.

0:44:520:44:54

Miss.

0:44:540:44:56

I've told Amy you've got something to say.

0:44:560:44:59

Something you want to explain.

0:45:000:45:02

HE SIGHS

0:45:040:45:06

I can't.

0:45:080:45:10

Just... Just give him till the end of the day, please.

0:45:130:45:17

-Salim?

-He hasn't shown.

0:45:250:45:28

My client now admits he was at a meeting with the Makhdoom brothers.

0:45:300:45:35

However, it was at someone else's behest

0:45:350:45:38

and that was the full limit of his involvement.

0:45:380:45:41

My lord, I'm afraid that is not a position

0:45:410:45:43

which is supported by the redacted material.

0:45:430:45:45

My lord, sorry, is there any chance of the court actually seeing this evidence?

0:45:460:45:51

If you don't have proof

0:45:510:45:52

that your client has been implicated through an abuse of process,

0:45:520:45:55

then I'm afraid this application is at an end.

0:45:550:45:59

We're going to adjourn for ten minutes,

0:45:590:46:01

during which I want you to consider your position.

0:46:010:46:05

USHER: All rise.

0:46:060:46:07

HE SIGHS

0:46:190:46:21

You're doing their job for them, and I don't understand why.

0:46:220:46:25

I'm telling the court what I've seen. That's all.

0:46:250:46:28

Well, let's find out the truth.

0:46:300:46:32

My name is Salim Dasti.

0:46:360:46:38

I was at college with Rashid and...I was his friend.

0:46:390:46:43

Have you ever been at a meeting with the Makhdoom brothers?

0:46:440:46:48

Yes.

0:46:480:46:50

-Who else was there?

-Rashid.

0:46:510:46:55

And can you tell the court what happened at that meeting?

0:46:550:46:57

Rashid and I talked with the brothers,

0:46:580:47:01

and, um...they explained

0:47:010:47:03

that they were serious about using their student exchange to do something...

0:47:030:47:08

..something that would show the Americans how we felt

0:47:090:47:12

about the way innocent Muslims were being killed.

0:47:120:47:14

And then what happened?

0:47:150:47:18

They said that, if we were serious, we had to prove it.

0:47:180:47:21

Rashid and I had to help them get security details for their attack.

0:47:220:47:25

But Rashid didn't go through with it, did he?

0:47:250:47:28

You went ahead, but Rashid backed out.

0:47:290:47:34

No.

0:47:340:47:35

It was the other way around.

0:47:350:47:37

I backed out.

0:47:370:47:39

I told him I didn't want to go through with it,

0:47:390:47:41

and then I went back into my room.

0:47:410:47:43

Then why did you tell this court

0:47:430:47:44

that Rashid did the research from the same room?

0:47:440:47:48

Because he did. The evidence they showed me proved he did.

0:47:480:47:51

Your claim doesn't make any sense.

0:47:510:47:54

You've said that you went back to your room alone,

0:47:540:47:57

and then you insisted that this is where Rashid did his research.

0:47:570:48:00

I mean, how can you expect us to believe you?

0:48:000:48:03

Because when I told him I wanted to back out, he told me he wouldn't.

0:48:030:48:07

He said he didn't care if I didn't have the guts.

0:48:070:48:10

He would show the brothers he wasn't scared.

0:48:100:48:12

-He's lying!

-You know what you said.

0:48:120:48:14

Calm down. I'm warning both of you.

0:48:140:48:17

You're lying, Salim, and MI5 know that,

0:48:170:48:20

and that's why they've done everything they can to hide your involvement.

0:48:200:48:24

No, that's...that's not true.

0:48:240:48:26

I don't know how he did that hacking from my computer, but he did it,

0:48:260:48:31

and the reason MI5 protected me is nothing to do with that.

0:48:310:48:34

Then what is it? I mean, why cover up your presence?

0:48:340:48:37

Why remove you from the photographs?

0:48:370:48:40

Salim, you are obliged to give this court an answer.

0:48:430:48:47

Because I didn't just back out. I called them.

0:48:500:48:53

After that meeting with the brothers, I panicked.

0:48:540:48:57

I found a number and I... I called a helpline...

0:49:000:49:02

..and I told the person I spoke to that something might happen.

0:49:050:49:08

And what did they do?

0:49:100:49:12

Nothing.

0:49:130:49:14

They took my details and they said they'd call back, but they never called me.

0:49:160:49:20

That's why we're all here,

0:49:210:49:23

because our intelligence services were too busy to make a call,

0:49:230:49:27

and then, because they knew how it looked, they offered me a deal.

0:49:270:49:31

They hauled me in after the bomb went off,

0:49:320:49:35

and they told me that they had enough to send me to prison.

0:49:350:49:39

They said that if I could give them enough about Rashid's role,

0:49:400:49:44

then...then I could avoid it, because...

0:49:440:49:46

..because then, at least, the US would have a proper conspirator to put on trial.

0:49:470:49:50

Can I point out that this admission doesn't change the fact

0:50:000:50:03

that Rashid Hirani was at that meeting?

0:50:030:50:06

He agreed to do research on the proposed attack

0:50:060:50:09

and there is no other person who could have done it.

0:50:090:50:11

We will retire to consider our decision.

0:50:140:50:16

Mr Reader, we may call on you for assistance.

0:50:160:50:20

USHER: All rise.

0:50:210:50:23

So that's what this has been about?

0:50:280:50:30

Sending my nephew to America so no-one would know MI5 screwed up?

0:50:300:50:34

I can't comment,

0:50:340:50:35

except to say that from what I've seen Rashid deserves to stand trial.

0:50:350:50:38

If we lose this,

0:50:380:50:39

I'll make sure journalists on both sides of the Atlantic know about Salim's call,

0:50:390:50:43

and then we'll know what the public cares about,

0:50:430:50:46

a kid who made the mistake of going to one meeting or MI5 letting a bomb go off.

0:50:460:50:51

-QUIETLY:

-I hope you're not going to let him do that.

0:50:570:50:58

What else can he do?

0:50:580:51:00

Martha, it's human error. Trust me. How many calls do MI5 get right?

0:51:000:51:03

How many great decisions have they made that we've never even heard about?

0:51:030:51:06

Rashid Hirani is my client

0:51:060:51:08

and Rashid's been made to suffer to cover MI5's cock-up.

0:51:080:51:12

Billy, did we ever get that psych report for Rashid?

0:51:150:51:18

HE PANTS

0:51:290:51:31

Miss!

0:51:330:51:35

-Billy.

-It was in your in-tray.

0:51:350:51:38

-Thank you.

-Uh.

0:51:380:51:40

Oh...

0:51:410:51:43

HE SIGHS

0:51:460:51:47

Clive.

0:51:510:51:52

Clive.

0:51:540:51:55

-This is your solution?

-It's a solution.

0:52:020:52:06

And it's better than MI5 looking stupid over an innocent kid.

0:52:060:52:09

I just came to see how you were.

0:52:270:52:29

Why?

0:52:290:52:31

Well, it's unusual for prosecuting counsel to be embarrassed.

0:52:310:52:34

Well, I was.

0:52:340:52:37

Right.

0:52:370:52:39

So, how's chambers?

0:52:390:52:41

Dysfunctional, riven with political internal infighting.

0:52:410:52:45

Nothing changes, then.

0:52:450:52:48

Maybe what you need is a break.

0:52:480:52:51

I've never felt less like taking a break.

0:52:510:52:53

I'm going to stand in this election to replace you, and I intend to win it,

0:52:530:52:57

and when I do, things are going to change.

0:52:570:52:59

Matt Busby made it hard for everyone who followed him.

0:53:020:53:04

What?

0:53:050:53:07

We probably don't need an elder statesman coming back,

0:53:070:53:10

giving sage-like advice, Alan.

0:53:100:53:12

Well, then, all I can do is wish you luck.

0:53:150:53:17

LOW CHATTER

0:53:320:53:34

We have arrived at our decision.

0:53:540:53:57

Our judgment has been strongly affected

0:53:570:54:01

by the report into the psychiatric condition of the applicant, Rashid Hirani.

0:54:010:54:07

We are particularly influenced by the fact

0:54:070:54:11

that, although it was commissioned by Mr Hirani's legal team,

0:54:110:54:16

it is also endorsed by the security services.

0:54:160:54:20

We rule that Rashid Hirani

0:54:220:54:24

is not fit to endure conditions he would find in US custody

0:54:240:54:28

and must remain here.

0:54:280:54:31

Since there are no charges against you here, Mr Hirani,

0:54:310:54:36

it is my duty to inform you that you are now a free man.

0:54:360:54:40

USHER: All rise.

0:54:460:54:47

-Martha, well done.

-Thank you.

0:54:510:54:54

Thank you.

0:54:540:54:56

This would be the heart, wouldn't it, if you had to say?

0:54:580:55:01

Hm?

0:55:010:55:03

This place would be the heart of our legal system,

0:55:030:55:05

and there's nobody here, just you and me and the truth.

0:55:050:55:08

There was no evidence to link him to that hacking.

0:55:090:55:12

The evidence was still being uncovered. That's not the same thing.

0:55:120:55:15

Clive, they couldn't put him in that room where the research was done.

0:55:150:55:18

It is as simple as that.

0:55:180:55:19

Is it?

0:55:190:55:22

What's this?

0:55:220:55:24

It's a string of code from a Trojan virus,

0:55:240:55:26

found by forensic officers examining Salim's hard drive.

0:55:260:55:29

His computer was infected with software,

0:55:290:55:31

which allowed somebody to control it remotely

0:55:310:55:33

and then destroy all traces of their work.

0:55:330:55:35

Now, there's nothing to link it to Rashid, yet, which is why I couldn't use it.

0:55:360:55:41

But I can't think of anyone else who could have put it there, can you?

0:55:410:55:44

There's more than one way for him to have been in that room, Martha.

0:55:490:55:52

Yeah, it's a great talent,

0:55:530:55:55

the ability to convince people that you're a helpless victim,

0:55:550:55:58

when you're pulling the strings all the way.

0:55:580:56:01

I'd like to make an official complaint...

0:57:000:57:02

..against Billy.

0:57:050:57:06

I won't blame you, miss...

0:57:260:57:28

..if you feel you can't stand by me on this one.

0:57:290:57:31

I'll understand.

0:57:330:57:34

Help me, please, miss.

0:57:420:57:44

Go and tell your self-pitying paedo,

0:58:020:58:04

he will never recover from what I do to him in cross-examination.

0:58:040:58:07

-Please come with me, sir.

-Head of chambers, it's a three-way tie.

0:58:070:58:10

-When are we deciding on Amy?

-Next week.

0:58:100:58:12

It's my application to join chambers.

0:58:120:58:15

Imagine how embarrassed you'd be. You'd need a big drink.

0:58:150:58:18

-Are you OK?

-I need you, Martha.

0:58:180:58:21

We have this rule, never represent a friend.

0:58:210:58:24

-You're jealous.

-Mm.

0:58:240:58:26

SHOUTING

0:58:260:58:27

-ALARM BLARES

-Help!
