Lauren has an emergency meeting with Ahriman, to clear the story.

Lauren – Why did you inform me about the dinner gathering for that evening.

Ahriman – I forgot.

Lauren – You forgot, it’s not looking good Mr Ahriman, you can't change the story in the court room.

Lauren and Ahriman take their seat the case proceeds, the case is played out in silence, the viewers can only see the court battle, the stress, fear, arguments before the sound returns.

Judge – Thank you counsels for your assistance, the court needs time to review the case, the evidence as well as your closing argument. In a moment I will return to render a verdict.

The Judge is pulled aside and receives an unexpected phone call, it’s Acheron on the other line, Radcliff Marsh is also seen in the court waiting for the verdict. The judge’s closing statement is heard in court in silence, the viewers can only see the expression of those that attended and the defence council, the verdict given is not guilty. There is a look of disbelief and frustration in the defence council.
