There'll be

an eye in the hole.

Are you the doctor?

No. I have been appointed

by the Attorney General

to be your special advocate.

I told them I'm sick.

Has anyone explained to you

what a special advocate does?

No.

Nobody explained

anything to me. I'm sick.

So f*** you.

Mmm.

Mr. Erdogan, you are accused of

master-minding a suicide bomb attack.

(SCOFFS)

"Master-minding."

There is some

evidence against you,

which the prosecution

believes should be kept

secret from the public

and from you

in the interests of

national security.

What evidence?

I don't know yet, I haven't

been given it, but when I am,

I need to understand

as much as I can about you

and why you say

you're innocent.

The secret evidence will be

assessed in closed session.

The courtroom will be locked,

and there will be just myself,

the judge, the prosecutor and a

representative of the security services.

I bet you all know

each other.

(SCOFFS)

I'm on your side.

It's my job to

convince the judge

that you need to see

the secret evidence.

But I can't do that on my own.

I need your help.

Where are you getting

the heroin, Farroukh?

Prison heroin is very impure,

that's why you're throwing up.

You should ask to be put on

their dependency program.

In Berlin,

you were arrested for

possession of heroin,

but you were released.

Why did they release you

without a custodial sentence?

I didn't stick around.

I got on a plane.

But how did you

get leave to remain

if you had a conviction

for possession?

May I ask you again?

How did you get leave to remain

if you had a conviction?

I don't need

a whatever-the-f***-you-are.

I need

a f***ing doctor. Okay?

I wonder if Mr. Erdogan

is a little tired.

It's a long day for a man

in a place like this.

Then they

sent me back and said,

"No. Now you have to

take off your shoes."

And I mean, I'm wearing

stilettos, right?

What, do I have tiny,

little explosives?

You should try

being Asian.

I get stopped and searched

every couple of weeks.

I wouldn't say no.

Handsome, young policeman?

(ALL LAUGHING)

Martin.

You never come.

Are you drunk?

Not yet.

(CLEARS THROAT)

Does everyone know

Martin Rose?

Can I sit between two people

who hate each other?

I like to come as a relief. Yeah,

you can sit next to me if you like.

But I should warn you, I'm just

a boring, old civil servant.

Oh, that's hardly

fair, Melissa.

The work of the Department of

Transport is vital to the nation.

You're doing me no favors.

What else can I say?

Traffic flow projections.

Flexible approaches to variable

speed limits during peak hours...

I think

we can stop there.

You see, Mr. Rose,

I'm as good as my word.
