0:02:52 > 0:02:55WHEN?!

0:04:53 > 0:04:55Are you?

0:04:56 > 0:04:58You'll catch cold.

0:04:58 > 0:05:00Are you sure you don't want to make another appointment?

0:05:00 > 0:05:04It's essential I see Mr Venn as soon as possible.

0:05:04 > 0:05:07I've had enough of this! You're pathetic, Harry!

0:05:14 > 0:05:16HE SIGHS

0:05:32 > 0:05:35- This is Ms Hawkes, your 11 o'clock. - Please, come into my office.

0:05:35 > 0:05:39Erm, I'd, I'd rather go out if that's OK?

0:05:41 > 0:05:44Sure, please.

0:05:48 > 0:05:51RADIO: 'It's 11 o'clock on Tuesday, 5th July.

0:05:51 > 0:05:54'The headlines this morning. Sensational allegations

0:05:54 > 0:05:56'linking Prime Minister Brian Worsley

0:05:56 > 0:06:00'to two secret offshore bank accounts have been leaked to a national newspaper.

0:06:00 > 0:06:03'The claims come at a critical time for the Prime Minister

0:06:03 > 0:06:05'in his ongoing attempts to form a new government,

0:06:05 > 0:06:08'while rioting continues in the capital as tens of thousands

0:06:08 > 0:06:11'turn out daily to protest at proposed austerity measures.

0:06:11 > 0:06:13'Up to 70 protesters have been injured...'

0:06:13 > 0:06:17I should warn you. The coffee's terrible.

0:06:20 > 0:06:21I've drunk worse.

0:06:21 > 0:06:26- You're a brave woman. What can I do for you?- I have a client.

0:06:26 > 0:06:31- He's on a murder charge. - You're a lawyer? Interesting case?

0:06:31 > 0:06:33It has a couple of unusual features,

0:06:33 > 0:06:36the first being that my client appears to be innocent.

0:06:36 > 0:06:40- What you mean, really innocent? - As in, he didn't do it.

0:06:40 > 0:06:43- Now that is unusual. - His name's Steven Quirke.

0:06:47 > 0:06:53- Stevie Quirke? What, Little Stevie? What's this all about?- I told you.

0:06:53 > 0:06:55Hey, listen, I don't get it.

0:06:55 > 0:06:57An expensive lawyer acting for a career criminal

0:06:57 > 0:07:00like Stevie Quirke? How did that happen?

0:07:00 > 0:07:02In the usual way...he called my office.

0:07:02 > 0:07:05He told me he was innocent, I believe him.

0:07:08 > 0:07:12I'm thinking of sending the brief to Nigel Fountain.

0:07:13 > 0:07:16You don't approve of my choice of counsel?

0:07:16 > 0:07:19Well, shouldn't that be SIR Nigel Fountain? No, I approve very much.

0:07:19 > 0:07:22I'm just wondering where all the money's coming from?

0:07:22 > 0:07:25Mr Quirke's innocence is not the only unusual feature.

0:07:25 > 0:07:27He also turned himself in.

0:07:30 > 0:07:35So Stevie turned himself in, he confessed, but he's innocent?

0:07:35 > 0:07:36I was getting to that.

0:07:36 > 0:07:39Well, if you could you get to it a little bit faster, Gina,

0:07:39 > 0:07:41because I'm getting sort of confused here.

0:07:41 > 0:07:44He confessed because he's terrified.

0:07:44 > 0:07:47So terrified, in fact, that he'd rather be in prison.

0:07:47 > 0:07:53- And what's he terrified of?- He won't tell me. He wants you to help him.

0:07:54 > 0:07:58- How?- He wants you to find someone for him.

0:08:00 > 0:08:03Look. You're a smart woman.

0:08:03 > 0:08:07I can tell you're smart because you're not drinking the coffee.

0:08:07 > 0:08:10But I'm just a high street solicitor. You need an enquiry agent.

0:08:10 > 0:08:12I'd be more than happy to recommend one.

0:08:12 > 0:08:16Mr Quirke wants you to find Joseph Francis Collins. I believe you know him.

0:08:16 > 0:08:19HE LAUGHS

0:08:19 > 0:08:21Stevie Quirke and Joe Collins?

0:08:21 > 0:08:24You're building a case on them?

0:08:24 > 0:08:27Actually you don't need an enquiry agent, Gina,

0:08:27 > 0:08:29what you need is a bloody magician.

0:08:29 > 0:08:33I disagree. You have the special contacts my client needs.

0:08:40 > 0:08:43What are you after?

0:08:43 > 0:08:45I am a lawyer doing my best to get justice for my client.

0:08:48 > 0:08:50Do you know what gives you away, Gina?

0:08:50 > 0:08:52No lawyer uses the word justice

0:08:52 > 0:08:55when they're talking about their own client.

0:08:55 > 0:08:58I don't know what game you've got going on here, but, er,

0:08:58 > 0:09:03- I'm not playing with you. - Mr Quirke anticipated your reaction.

0:09:04 > 0:09:08He has some information that he's willing to pass on to you.

0:09:08 > 0:09:09Information about what?

0:09:11 > 0:09:12Your brother Mark.

0:09:15 > 0:09:17- LOUD GROANING - Mark?

0:09:21 > 0:09:23- Ah, Jesus. - Mark, are you OK?

0:09:36 > 0:09:39What did he say exactly?

0:09:39 > 0:09:41About Mark.

0:09:43 > 0:09:46His exact words.

0:09:46 > 0:09:47Exactly as I've told you.

0:09:48 > 0:09:53I'm following the instructions of my client. You have my card.

0:09:53 > 0:09:55Thank you for the coffee.

0:10:20 > 0:10:22Don't worry, Harry.

0:23:09 > 0:23:13- What's different about it?- We don't have a Government for one thing.

0:25:52 > 0:25:55Not as much as you, I believe.

0:25:55 > 0:25:59I only ask because your client, Stevie Quirke, hasn't got a hope in hell.

0:25:59 > 0:26:01That's my advice - you can have that for free.

0:26:46 > 0:26:50in order to locate a witness he believes is crucial to his case.

0:26:50 > 0:26:54I carried out his instructions, as I was obliged to.

0:26:54 > 0:26:56This does not give you the right to be insulting.

0:26:58 > 0:27:02OK... Well, you name me one lawyer in London

0:27:02 > 0:27:05or anywhere in this country that you've had dealings with.

0:27:05 > 0:27:10- Isn't Sir Nigel Fountain good enough for you?- No, no, apart from this case. Just one.

0:27:24 > 0:27:26One thing I forgot to mention.

0:27:26 > 0:27:30Should you find Joe Collins, there will be a fee, naturally.

0:27:30 > 0:27:34Naturally. And what if I don't find him?

0:27:34 > 0:27:38Oh, I think you're the kind of man who finds what he looks for.

0:27:38 > 0:27:41Flattery's wasted on me. What sort of fee are we talking about?

0:27:41 > 0:27:43Shall we say 20,000?

0:27:45 > 0:27:48Well, that should help find him.

0:27:48 > 0:27:51Why is Joe Collins worth £20,000 to you?

0:28:15 > 0:28:17And what would you suggest?

0:28:17 > 0:28:20I suggest you cancel your next meeting

0:28:20 > 0:28:23and stay here and have another drink with me.

0:36:26 > 0:36:28You were on TV last night denying the allegations.

0:40:34 > 0:40:36Yeah, but you just have. Haven't you?

0:40:36 > 0:40:40Look, let's be clear. We face grave challenges.

0:40:40 > 0:40:45People have to put aside their narrow, partisan interests

0:40:45 > 0:40:47and pull together for the nation.

0:40:47 > 0:40:50Because some people, backed by certain media organisations

0:40:50 > 0:40:52with their own agenda,

0:40:52 > 0:40:54simply do not want to see a second coalition

0:40:54 > 0:40:57and will do everything they can to derail us.

0:40:57 > 0:41:00Well, that was the beleaguered Prime Minister

0:41:07 > 0:41:09That is, of course, Alexander Wentworth.

0:41:09 > 0:41:11- Good afternoon.- Good afternoon.

0:41:11 > 0:41:14Are you going to challenge the Prime Minister?

0:41:14 > 0:41:15Listen, I haven't been saying that.

0:41:15 > 0:41:18What I'm saying is this country cannot continue to back

0:41:18 > 0:41:20a morally bankrupt Prime Minister

0:41:20 > 0:41:23when we are on the verge of crisis. That's no exaggeration.

0:41:23 > 0:41:26The Prime Minister says, "There are people who do not want

0:41:26 > 0:41:30"political stability, who would prefer uncertainty and disorder".

0:41:30 > 0:41:33- Are you one of those people? - Listen,

0:41:33 > 0:41:37I know the novels of Dan Brown too. I'm afraid my right honourable friend

0:41:37 > 0:41:41is confusing fact with fiction. It's a preposterous thing to say. Paranoia.

0:41:47 > 0:41:49That's fine.

0:41:49 > 0:41:51I didn't know anyone still drank Valpolicella.

0:41:51 > 0:41:53I thought it was more or less plonk.

0:41:53 > 0:41:56They've improved it.

0:41:56 > 0:41:59- It's very drinkable now. - Thank you.

0:42:02 > 0:42:05- You're right. Very tasty.- Cheers.

0:42:05 > 0:42:07Cheers.

0:42:16 > 0:42:19Who'd have thought rioting in London would get to become

0:42:19 > 0:42:22- practically a daily occurrence? - Indeed.

0:42:22 > 0:42:26- You were marvellous on The Today Programme.- You were terrific.

0:42:26 > 0:42:30They're always horribly snide, but by the end, you'd won them over.

0:42:30 > 0:42:33- Thank you, James.- You're principled and have integrity.

0:42:33 > 0:42:36Something friend Worsley could do with.

0:42:36 > 0:42:40I think it's a bit too late for that, don't you?

0:42:42 > 0:42:44Speak of the devil.

0:42:49 > 0:42:51You'd think forming a government

0:42:51 > 0:42:53might be more important than having lunch.

0:42:59 > 0:43:02- Alexander.- Brian.

0:43:02 > 0:43:06- Hello, Elspeth.- Hello, Brian. You know James Morpeth?

0:43:10 > 0:43:13You've known me since Cambridge, Elspeth.

0:43:13 > 0:43:15Do you think I would take bribes?

0:43:15 > 0:43:17If you want to give us your side of the story,

0:43:17 > 0:43:19I'm more than happy to arrange an interview.

0:43:19 > 0:43:22I've already said I know nothing

0:43:39 > 0:43:40Poor Brian.

0:43:42 > 0:43:45Dead man walking.

0:43:50 > 0:43:51What's this?

0:43:51 > 0:43:55Just some facts to put Worsley in his political grave.

0:44:24 > 0:44:27- All right?- All right?

0:44:27 > 0:44:31- Is Dean in?- Dean who?- Dean Stubbs.

0:44:40 > 0:44:44- I've been thinking of joining a gym. - Yeah, you should.

0:44:59 > 0:45:02I'm looking for a friend of Joseph Collins.

0:45:04 > 0:45:07Joe's friend comes in here quite a lot.

0:45:07 > 0:45:08He's a boxer.

0:45:10 > 0:45:11His name's Dean.

0:49:08 > 0:49:10she wanted me to go and see him, so I did.

0:49:10 > 0:49:12What's Stevie got to do with Braddick?

0:49:12 > 0:49:14He said he saw Paul Hillman.

0:49:14 > 0:49:16You got to be fucking kidding me.

0:49:16 > 0:49:18That's what he said.

0:49:21 > 0:49:23Frank, I want to ask a little favour.

0:49:24 > 0:49:26It might not be, er...

0:49:26 > 0:49:28completely legal.

0:49:28 > 0:49:30- Harry.- What?- Hillman's dead.

0:49:30 > 0:49:32- I know.- Mark's dead.

0:49:32 > 0:49:35- I know.- You want my advice?

0:49:35 > 0:49:36No.

0:50:09 > 0:50:11HE SIGHS

0:50:14 > 0:50:17- Is your vision at all affected? - No, it's fine.

0:50:17 > 0:50:20- Headache?- Yeah.

0:50:25 > 0:50:27How often do you take cocaine?

0:50:27 > 0:50:29Hmm?

0:50:30 > 0:50:35Well, I had, er... a little line or two last night.

0:50:35 > 0:50:38- Is it a regular thing?- No.

0:50:43 > 0:50:47We've taken an X-ray but I'm going to recommend an MRI.

0:50:47 > 0:50:50- I don't think it's that bad. - Just to be on the safe side.

0:50:53 > 0:50:57You were recommended by a friend of mine. Gina Hawkes?

0:51:01 > 0:51:04I'll make you an appointment.

0:51:08 > 0:51:10There'll probably be a bit of a wait.

0:51:20 > 0:51:25She said the Zopiclone you gave her is really helping with her insomnia.

0:51:28 > 0:51:29She's a beautiful woman...

0:51:31 > 0:51:32..isn't she?

0:51:34 > 0:51:35You'll need a tetanus shot.

0:51:37 > 0:51:39As I said, it's not that bad, it was just a punch.

0:51:39 > 0:51:41There wasn't really any blood.

0:51:50 > 0:51:53Take your jacket off and roll up your sleeve.

0:51:55 > 0:51:56Roll up your sleeve.

0:52:00 > 0:52:02Some other time.

0:52:09 > 0:52:10What do you think?

0:52:10 > 0:52:13Doable. But doable for what?

0:52:13 > 0:52:14What do you want?

0:52:14 > 0:52:17Frank, I'm trying to find out who Gina Hawkes is.

0:52:17 > 0:52:21If she's on his books, he'll have her medical records, an address, something.

0:52:21 > 0:52:22OK.

0:52:22 > 0:52:25- You know it's all computerized. - I got a guy.

0:52:25 > 0:52:29- Call me when you're done. - You'll answer this time?- Here.

0:52:29 > 0:52:31Here you go, expenses.

0:52:31 > 0:52:33Kentish Town, please, mate.

0:52:33 > 0:52:34H.

0:52:38 > 0:52:39Listen to me.

0:52:41 > 0:52:43Back when I was working...

0:52:43 > 0:52:46some mornings, I'd be driving to the job and I'd look out

0:52:46 > 0:52:50and see all these people doing ordinary things, you know?

0:52:50 > 0:52:53Waiting at a bus-stop, buying a coffee, buying a sandwich

0:52:53 > 0:52:55and I'd, like, look at them and I'd think,

0:52:55 > 0:52:58"Why am I putting myself through this?

0:52:58 > 0:53:01"They're all relaxed, happy, probably. Me?

0:53:02 > 0:53:05"I'm on my way to pull a robbery -

0:53:05 > 0:53:06"the blood's beating in my veins,

0:53:06 > 0:53:09"my head feels light, I'm feeling sick."

0:53:09 > 0:53:14One time I turned to Wendell and I said, "You know, we could stop.

0:53:15 > 0:53:19"We could go to a caff, have a coffee, read the paper, go home.

0:53:20 > 0:53:22"We don't have to do this."

0:53:23 > 0:53:25You understand what I'm telling you?

0:53:25 > 0:53:28Yeah, and what did old Wendell say?

0:53:29 > 0:53:31Long as you understand.

0:53:31 > 0:53:34Cos actions have consequences...

0:53:34 > 0:53:36that's just the law of nature.

0:53:39 > 0:53:41I need to find out who killed Mark.

0:53:41 > 0:53:42And why.

0:53:42 > 0:53:45Yeah, even if it puts you in prison for 20 years?

0:54:16 > 0:54:18Yeah?

0:54:18 > 0:54:20'This is Gina Hawkes.'

0:54:20 > 0:54:24Where are you? I can be with you in 20 minutes. We can have lunch.

0:54:24 > 0:54:28- I'm on my way to Paris.- 'I'll get the train. We'll have dinner.'

0:54:28 > 0:54:30Have you thought about what we discussed?

0:54:30 > 0:54:35I've thought about you, Gina. Constantly. Day and night,

0:54:35 > 0:54:37if you really want to know.

0:54:37 > 0:54:39Will you take the job?

0:54:39 > 0:54:41If I can have a down payment of £10,000.

0:54:41 > 0:54:45'Call the Hodgkins Truss Willson number and leave your bank details.'

0:54:45 > 0:54:47The money will be in your account later today.

0:54:47 > 0:54:51Blimey, you work fast. I like that. So where are we having dinner?

0:54:51 > 0:54:52'I like Paris.'

0:54:52 > 0:54:55I expect an update, twice a day, one at midnight, one at 7am.

0:54:55 > 0:54:58'If at any time there is anything significant,

0:54:58 > 0:55:00'you are to call me at once.'

0:55:00 > 0:55:03How do you define "significant"? For instance, you've become

0:55:03 > 0:55:08- 'a significant part of my life.' - You'll receive the balance of your fee when you locate Joe Collins.

0:55:08 > 0:55:12Once you do, you are not to let him out of your sight until I get there.

0:55:12 > 0:55:14Know what? If I'm ever in trouble I want you as my lawyer.

0:55:14 > 0:55:17In fact, I'd get in trouble to have you as my lawyer.

0:55:17 > 0:55:20- Call me if there's anything else you need.- I'm sure there will be.

0:55:20 > 0:55:24- Goodbye, Mr Venn. - Gina. One more thing.

0:55:24 > 0:55:28Have you ever heard of a bloke called Jason Styles?

0:55:30 > 0:55:33- No. Why?- You know what, you'd be smashing in the witness box.

0:55:33 > 0:55:36If I didn't know better, I'd believe you were telling the truth.

0:55:36 > 0:55:40- Just find Joe Collins, Mr Venn. - Harry.

0:55:41 > 0:55:45- TANNOY:- 'The Eurostar service to Paris Gare du Nord,

0:56:39 > 0:56:41Someone phoned me and said to get out the office.

0:56:41 > 0:56:44- What, is Frances coming with a gun? - Just shut up, Matt!

0:57:20 > 0:57:22This woman's got a file on me.

0:57:22 > 0:57:25The wrong type of person could take advantage of that.
