forever, doesn't it?

But then one day,

you get your ticket

to the fast track

and you never look back.

Goes to your head,

of course.

Makes you think you can do

whatever you want. (SCOFFS)

Like breaking into

a barrister's chambers.

I'm supposed to ask you

if there's anywhere else

you might take

the secret material.

Go on, then.

It's sort of personal questions, isn't it?

I'd rather not, to be honest.

Whether anyone

lives with you.

Or whether there

might be anyone?

A special friend, perhaps, who regularly

or irregularly spends the night,

that's the way

they put it.

You can leave now.

That's my number. I know it's

a very complicated case,

so if you ever wanna talk anything

over, you can give me a call.

What, though I'm legally

obliged, quite specifically,

not to discuss it

with anyone.

There are people who really

want a conviction here.

So if you're ever feeling,

uh, bullied or intimidated...

Oh, I can cope

with that, thank you.

Or threatened.

Threatened?

And what do you

mean by that exactly?

You can give me a call.

And what will you do?

Whatever needs

to be done, Claudia.

That is all.

(SIREN BLARING)

Good evening.

Where's Mike? He's done

his back in, hasn't he.

Too much sitting around,

I'd say.

(DOOR BEEPS)

(INAUDIBLE)

I want him back by 3:00.

Oh, listen, Elizabeth,

I thought I'd

take him to Kingston.

Can we make it more like...

(ENGINE STARTS)

5:
00?

Mum says I have to wear a life jacket.

Of course.

Miss Simmons-Howe.

Mr. Devlin.

How are you?

Very well, thank you. You?

MARTIN:
Devlin.

What is she doing here?

DEVLIN:
Ask her yourself.

She and I are not

allowed to communicate.

An exception can be made

for the common courtesies.

Though evidently not,

in this case.

Until the delivery of

the closed material,

lam permitted to

communicate with Mr. Rose.

Whether or not I choose to

do so is another matter.

As I'm beginning

to understand.

So would you please

inform this gentleman

that I am here

to see Mr. Devlin?

She and I are going

to visit Erdogan,

as I told you

earlier today.

Thank you for reminding me.

lam the client's solicitor.

It's a matter of routine

that I'm present

at any interview

with the client.

I know that. But would you

please inform the lady opposite

that I have first call upon

your services and expertise?

Perhaps in all the excitement,

Mr. Rose has forgotten

that there is a special

advocate on this case

and that we're both

representing the defendant.

I want to eat my lunch.

I was here first.

PRISONER:

Terrorist scum!

(ALL YELLING INDISTINCTLY)

(COUGHS)

GUARD:
Do you

want us to stay?

No. But could you

take the vomit with you?
