(sniffling)
- What are you doing?
- I don't know what to say.
Sorry.
- When did you decide this?
- Frances. - When?
When?!
- I don't know.
It wasn't an instant thing.
I've got back-to-back appointments.
- Appointments?!
You're talking about appointments?!
This is my life, Harry!
(somber music)
- I'm Gina Hawkes.
I have an 11:00 appointment with Mr. Venn.
- Mr. Venn's 10:30 is running a little over.
- I'm not going to let you ruin my life!
- Why don't I see if I can find you another appointment?
- I'll wait.
(phone dialing)
(phone ringing)
- Don't answer that.
(sighs)
- Let go.
- Do you think he'll pull it off?
Worsley, the coalition?
- I really don't know.
- Are you really going to give this up?
- Frances, look, you don't have to do this.
- Are you?
- You'll catch cold.
Are you sure you don't want to make another appointment?
- It's essential I see Mr. Venn as soon as possible.
- I've had enough of this.
You're pathetic, Harry!
- [Matt] This is Ms. Hawkes, your 11:00.
- Please, come into my office.
- I'd rather go out, if that's okay?
- Sure, please.
- [Reporter] It's 11:00 on Tuesday, the 5th July.
The headlines this morning.
Sensational allegations linking Prime Minister Brian Worsley
to two secret offshore bank accounts
have been leaked to a national newspaper.
The claims come at a critical time for the Prime Minister
in his ongoing attempts to form a new government,
while rioting continues in the capital
as tens of thousands turn out daily
to protest at proposed austerity measures.
Up to 70 protesters have been injured--
- I should warn you, the coffee's terrible.
- I've drunk worse.
- You're a brave woman.
What can I do for you?
- I have a client.
He's on a murder charge.
- [Harry] You're a lawyer?
Interesting case?
- It has a couple of unusual features,
the first being that my client appears to be innocent.
- What you mean, really innocent?
- [Gina] As in, he didn't do it.
- Now that is unusual.
- His name's Steven Quirke.
- Stevie Quirke?
What, Little Stevie?
What's this all about?
- I told you.
- Hey, listen, I don't get it.
An expensive lawyer acting for a career criminal
like Stevie Quirke, how did that happen?
- The usual way, he called my office.
He told me he was innocent, I believe him.
I'm thinking of sending the brief to Nigel Fountain.
You don't approve of my choice of counsel?
- Shouldn't that be Sir Nigel Fountain?
No, I approve very much.
I'm just wondering where all the money's coming from.
- Mr. Quirke's innocence is not the only unusual feature.
He also turned himself in.
- So Stevie turned himself in, he confessed,
but he's innocent.
- I was getting to that.
- If you could you get to it a little bit faster, Gina,
because I'm getting sort of confused here.
- He confessed because he's terrified.
So terrified, in fact, that he'd rather be in prison.
- And what's he terrified of?
- [Gina] He won't tell me, he wants you to help him.
- How?
- He wants you to find someone for him.
- Look, you're a smart woman, I can tell
you're smart because you're not drinking the coffee.
But I'm just a high street solicitor.
Now what you need is an inquiry agent.
I'd be more than happy to recommend one.
- Mr. Quirke wants you to find Joseph Francis Collins.
I believe you know him.
(tense music)
- Stevie Quirke and Joe Collins?
You're building a case on them?
Actually, you don't need an inquiry agent, Gina,
what you need is a bloody magician.
- I disagree.
You have the special contacts my client needs.
- What are you after?
- I am a lawyer doing my best to get justice for my client.
- Do you know what gives you away, Gina?
No lawyer uses the word justice
when they're talking about their own client.
I don't know what game you've got going on here,
but I'm not playing with you.
- Mr. Quirke anticipated your reaction.
He has some information that he's willing to pass on to you.
- Information about what?
- Your brother Mark.
- Mark?
- Ah, jeez. - Mark, are you okay?
- What did he say exactly?
About Mark.
His exact words.
- Exactly as I've told you.
I'm following the instructions of my client.
You have my card.
Thank you for the coffee.
- [Man] Don't worry, Harry.
Don't worry, Harry.
(phone ringing)
- Venn and co.
- [Harry] I want you to find out what you can
about a firm called Hodgkins Truss Wilson.
- Where are they, London?
- I don't know, there's no address on the card.
- Well, they're not showing up on Google.
- What about Gina Hawkes?
- Nope, nothing.
- Nothing?
- [Matt] Nope.
- [Harry] Hang on, there's a number here.
Oh double-seven double-oh, nine double-oh four eight four.
Give it a ring and find out who they are.
- 484, okay, Frank Hanna called.
He wants you there for when the jury get back.
- How long have they been out?
- [Matt] About an hour.
- Then they'll be out all day.
(line beeping)
(tense music)
(speaking foreign language)
(man shouting)
- Stevie.
What's all this shit about my brother?
- What, is that how you say hello, Harry,
after all these years?
- I want to know why you've been handing out this crap.
What are you trying to sell, Stevie?
You gonna tell me who killed Mark?
Is that it?
- I'm offering a deal here, right?
You help me, you get what I know.
Now that's all I got to deal with, Harry.
You understand?
- How did you find Gina Hawkes?
- What do you mean?
- Stevie, I couldn't find Gina Hawkes,
and people might say I'm somewhat better placed than you.
- Yeah, someone give me her number.
- [Harry] Who?
- I don't remember.
- What, she agrees to act for you, why?
- What, you ain't got the hump, have you, Harry?
All 'cause I didn't come to you?
No, you're an old pal, Harry.
Hey, let me shake your hand, eh?
Just for the warm feel of it.
I heard things wasn't going too good for ya.
- Oh, you know, they could be worse.
- Yeah, I know that's true.
- What do you know about Mark?
Who killed him?
Tell me now.
- Yeah, you'll never guess who I bumped into.
Paul Hillman.
Straight up.
(tires squealing) (siren wailing)
- Move it Harry, move!
- I'm doing my fucking best, Hillman.
- Yeah, I see , and he's like all bald now,
but I recognize him.
I saw what I saw, Harry, Paul Hillman.
- Yeah, there's just one problem, Stevie.
Paul Hillman's dead.
He has been for 20 years.
My dad ID'd his body, same time he ID'd Mark's.
- I saw him.
- When?
- Few days ago, just before I come in here.
See Harry, if Hillman's alive,
what does that say about Mark?
- What the fuck are you playing at?
- Harry, please.
Please.
I seen him and he's breathing like you and me.
- You see, the dead don't come back, Stevie.
- I saw him!
- Where?
Where did you see him?
- I don't really remember.
(snickering)
- You saw a dead man and you don't remember where?
- On the tube.
- What tube?
Which station, what line?
- I saw him, all right, I swear on my child's life.
- Why do you need me to find Joe Collins?
How can Joe help you?
- He's got something that can get me out of this.
- What?
You tell me or I'm out of here.
What?
- A laptop.
All right, I'm not saying nothing more.
That's it, I can't.
- You wouldn't be trying to set me up, would you, Stevie?
- Set you up for what?
- Something that happened a long time ago.
Something where there's no statute of limitations.
- If you don't find Joe for me, I am dead.
- You want to relax, Stevie.
They abolished the death penalty years ago.
Now you've got my number.
You give me a call when you decide
you wanna tell me what the fuck is going on.
(phone ringing)
- [Harry] Yeah?
- Frank Hanna's called three times.
He wants to know why you're not answering your phone
and why you're not there.
Mr. Peters is here and Mrs. Crawford.
What do you want me to tell them?
- Clear the rest of the day, I'm not coming back.
We represented a client, Joe Collins,
Joseph Francis Collins, about five years ago.
- Yeah, possession of Class A drugs.
Snaresbrook Crown Court.
Yeah, dig out his file.
- [Matt] Harry, I've got a million things to do.
- Call me when you've got it.
- Anything else?
- Don't expect overtime.
- Don't forget to call Frank Hanna.
(phone dialing)
- [Woman On Phone] Thank you for calling
Hodgkins Truss Wilson.
- I'll get some coffees and see you back here
in about half an hour.
Get off me!
It wasn't me.
I wasn't there, I wasn't there.
- We both know that's a lie, don't we?
Hey?
(engine rumbling)
(phone dialing)
(phone ringing)
- [Lauren] Hi, Harry.
- I've just seen Fenton Russell.
I need to see you, Lauren.
- Don't get any ideas.
It's not happening again.
- Why was Russell at Belmarsh?
- He's a cop.
Cops are like solicitors, they go to prisons
from time to time.
- Not the same time, the same day that I happen to be there.
- Harry, it's a coincidence.
Unpleasant, but just a coincidence.
- Lauren, the man I went to see today
told me that he saw Paul Hillman alive.
- What, who?
Who said that?
- A face from the past.
His name's Stevie Quirke.
He was insistent.
Told me he saw Hillman a few days ago.
- Harry, Hillman is dead and gone.
Someone's messing with your head.
- Why?
- I don't know why.
But let it go.
Harry, listen to me.
Listen.
Hillman is dead.
That whole thing is gone.
Over.
You need to let it go and move on.
Come on, Michael's gonna be home soon,
and I don't want him finding you here.
- You're always saying I don't see enough of him.
- I don't want our son, who's already dealing
with a lot of issues, finding you here like this.
We're divorced.
It'll confuse him.
- Confuse him?
What about me?
- Come on, Harry, get up.
- You seeing anyone?
- Yes.
- It serious?
- I don't know yet.
- Where'd you meet him?
- Internet dating.
Don't look at me like that.
That's how it's done now.
- I broke up with Frances today.
- [Lauren] What, again?
- No, it's for good this time.
- I'm sorry.
She seemed like a nice girl.
I don't know what she was doing with you.
- What were you doing with me?
- I'm not as nice as her.
(phone ringing)
- Harry Venn.
- Gina Hawkes, Mr. Venn.
You called.
- Yeah, I went to see your client today.
And I'd like to talk to you more about his case.
- I could see you for 20 minutes tonight at 10:00.
- 20 minutes?
- Yes, I have a meeting at 10:30.
- What, you do meetings late at night?
- [Gina] When they're important, yes.
- All right, I'll be there at 10.
Where are you?
- The Strand Hotel.
I'll meet you at the bar.
- [Reporter] The protestors were not one unified body.
Different groups with different agendas
surged off in all directions, some clearly
prepared for violence.
Shops in Pall Mall and Piccadilly
were attacked and set alight.
In Whitehall, police vans were smashed up
and overturned by a mob of students
and anarchists said to have--
- Have you seen this?
- [Reporter] At the same time, the main body of protestors--
- Feels different, doesn't it?
- Why, what's different about it?
- We don't have a government, for one thing.
- Have you noticed?
I haven't noticed.
- [Reporter] Protestors in the City of London,
with at least 80 arrests.
There have been allegations--
- It's good to see you.
- Same.
- [Reporter] As many as 180 people needed
hospital treatment as a result of the clashes.
There is...
- [Harry] Hey, Mikey.
- What are you doing here?
- That's a nice way to greet your father.
Michael, whatever else has happened
between me and your mother, I'm still your father.
Are you listening to me?
(belches)
You see that?
- I see it every day.
- Lauren, he needs to show some respect.
- You need to spend more time with him.
- Jesus, internet dating?
- Goodbye, Harry.
- The Prime Minister went on to say that those who have been
trying to whip up an atmosphere of hysteria and panic
must bear responsibility for the chaos and disorder
on our streets.
But the violence has put further pressure
on the Prime Minister after this morning's allegations
about his financial affairs.
And Alexander Wentworth, tipped as a front runner
to take over, was amongst a growing number of voices
describing the proposed coalition as unworkable.
- Let's not kid ourselves.
The reason the police are out there
having to deal with these levels of disorder
is that Brian Worsley is bankrupt.
His coalition is falling to pieces
and he continues to present the same tired ideas.
This is not a man who can lead this country
out of our gravest crisis we've faced
since the Battle of Britain.
(mysterious music) (siren wailing)
- Blimey.
You always dress like that for business meetings?
- I didn't say it was business.
- Can I get you a drink?
- An old fashioned.
- One old fashioned and a vodka tonic.
- Yes, sir.
- You went to see Mr. Quirke?
- Do you do a lot of crime, Gina?
- Not as much as you, I believe.
- I only ask because your client, Stevie Quirke,
hasn't got a hope in hell.
That's my advice, you can have that for free.
- I deal in lost hopes, Mr. Venn.
- Harry.
What kind of a criminal lawyer are you, Gina?
In fact, are you any kind of criminal lawyer at all?
Where did you do your articles?
When did you qualify?
You came here to talk about the case.
- No, you're more interesting.
- I can assure you I'm not.
- Where's that accent from?
- Ms. Hawkes.
- Thank you.
- Who are you, Gina Hawkes?
- My client asked me to contact you in order
to locate a witness he believes is crucial to his case.
I carried out his instructions, as I was obliged to.
This does not give you the right to be insulting.
- Okay.
You name me one lawyer in London or anywhere in this country
that you've had dealings with.
- Isn't Sir Nigel Fountain good enough for you?
- No, apart from this case.
Just one.
- If you'll excuse me.
One thing I forgot to mention.
Should you find Joe Collins, there will be a fee, naturally.
- Naturally.
And what if I don't find him?
- Oh, I think you're the kind of man
who finds what he looks for.
- Flattery's wasted on me, Gina.
What sort of fee are we talking about here?
- Shall we say 20,000?
- That should help find him.
Why is Joe Collins worth 20,000 pounds to you?
- Thank you for the drink, Mr. Venn.
- Harry.
You're wearing the wrong nail polish.
- I quite like it.
- No, it doesn't suit you.
- And what would you suggest?
- I suggest you cancel your next meeting
and stay here and have another drink with me.
- You're smart.
Don't be too smart, Harry.
- Excuse me, how do you know that lady?
- She's a guest.
- Can I leave her a note?
It's urgent.
(tense music)
- Which floor, sir?
- Three, please.
(elevator bell dings)
- (yawns) Excuse me.
Long hours?
- Yeah, very long.
- Mind you, I bet they pay you a fortune.
- Yeah.
You English.
Make funny jokes that are not so funny.
- True.
(elevator bell dings)
- After you, sir.
- Thank you.
Excuse me.
How would you like to boost your pay?
- I would like to.
- How much would it cost me to get
five minutes in this room?
I'm not gonna take anything, I'm not gonna do anything,
I just want to look around.
Nobody need know, five minutes.
- 500.
- 500, okay.
Tell you what, split the difference, call it thirty quid.
Terrific.
- Five minutes.
- [Man] Harry, wait.
(suspenseful music)
(groaning)
- You said nobody was going to get hurt.
- It's what Styles wanted.
- Who's Styles?
(somber music)
- [Gina] He has some information that he's willing
to pass on to you.
Your brother, Mark.
I'm following the instructions of my client.
I want you to find someone for him.
Joseph Francis Collins, I believe you know him.
- [Reporter] The news headlines this hour.
Prime Minister Brian Worsley has responded
for the first time to allegations
about his financial involvement
with Australian mining company Goldseam.
- You know your critics say that because of
the ongoing allegations about your
private financial arrangements--
- These allegations are completely untrue.
They are a total fabrication--
- Because of these allegations, you do not have
sufficient support in your own party,
let alone the minority parties.
- No, I completely refuse.
- So why aren't the minority parties coming out for you?
- I do have sufficient support in my own party.
What I'm trying to do is build a coalition.
- Harry. - What?
- [Man] What are we looking for?
- Anything that will help us find Mr. Joseph Collins.
- [Man] I've got some blow if you want it.
(inhaling)
(electronic dance music)
(jackhammer rattling)
(groans)
- [Interviewer] Turning to the extraordinary allegations
made in yesterday's papers about the Prime Minister,
we have the man himself here.
Good morning, Prime Minister.
- [Brian] Good morning.
- [Interviewer] You were on television last night
denying the allegations, yet this morning,
RDO media have published an actual document
which apparently shows that Goldseam,
the Australian mining company at the center of this affair,
set up the accounts which you say you knew nothing of
in April last year.
- [Brian] Look, I've got no way of knowing
what Goldseam did or didn't do.
But what I can say, with all the emphasis I can command,
is that neither I nor any member of my family
has any control over access to the money in these accounts.
- Thought you said it wasn't gonna happen again.
- Michael's been arrested.
(eerie music)
- Want to go home to your mummy?
You're not going home with a charge like this
in front of you.
- Hey.
What happened?
- Nicked a bloody car.
- Have they charged him yet?
- Yeah.
They've given him bail, so he should be out soon.
- [Officer] This way.
- [Lauren] You okay?
- [Officer] If you could just come this way, please.
- [Lauren] 'll be back in a minute.
- Listen, don't worry.
Worst case, you'll get five years.
I'm kidding.
They'll give you a rap on the knuckles.
Why'd you do it?
Michael?
- Who are you?
- I'm your father.
- No, my father left.
- What were you thinking?
- Sorry.
- Go get in the car.
Thanks for coming.
You should go home and shower.
Change your clothes.
- Listen, Lauren.
Thank you for telling me about Michael.
- It's okay.
(somber music)
(siren wailing)
- You're late.
- Yeah, had a heavy night.
(answering machine beeps)
- [Frances] Harry, it's Frances.
- Should be interesting.
- [Frances] I don't understand what you're doing, Harry.
- Turn it off.
- [Frances] What did I do wrong?
I don't deserve this. - Turn it off!
- [Frances] You won't even talk to me, you won't even--
- Matt.
(answering machine beeps)
Call the clerk Barter Court Chambers.
See if he can get me 10 minutes with the chambers'
Nigel Fountain.
- [Matt] What do I tell him?
- Tell him it's about the Quirke case.
- You know you've got the hearing at Highbury.
- I need to find Joe Collins.
Tell you what, call Lisa Merrick,
see if she'll cover for me.
- You're gonna get struck off, Harry, you're not careful.
- Thank you for your concern.
- The concern is me and my job.
And don't forget Frank Hanna!
(suspenseful music)
- I don't want to say anything that could
potentially inflame an already volatile situation.
- Yeah, but you just have, haven't you?
- Look, let's be clear.
We face grave challenges, and people are gonna have to
put aside their narrow, partisan interests
and pull together for the nation.
Because there are some people,
backed by certain media organizations with their own agenda,
who simply do not want to see a second coalition,
and will do everything they can to derail us.
- Well, that was the beleaguered Prime Minister
talking to me earlier today.
And I'm joined now by the man increasingly seen
as the front runner to challenge Worsley,
that is, of course, Alexander Wentworth.
Good afternoon to you.
- Good afternoon.
- [Interviewer] Let me put it to you,
are you gonna challenge the Prime Minister?
- Well listen, I haven't been saying that.
What I am saying is that this country cannot continue
to back a morally bankrupt Prime Minister
when we are on the verge of crisis, that's no exaggeration.
- But the Prime Minister says, "there are people
"who do not want political stability,
"who would prefer uncertainty and disorder."
Are you one of those people?
- Listen, I know the novels of Dan Brown too.
I'm afraid my right honorable friend
is confusing fact with fiction.
This is a preposterous thing to say.
It is paranoia.
(mysterious music)
- That's fine.
- I didn't know anyone still drank Valpolicella.
I thought it was more or less plonk.
- They've improved it.
It's very drinkable now.
- Thank you.
You're right, very tasty.
- Cheers. - Cheers.
- Ah, here he is, the man of the hour.
- Sorry I'm late.
- Alex.
- Protestors again.
It's impossible to get through central London.
- Who'd have thought rioting in London
would get to become practically a daily occurrence?
- Who indeed.
- You were marvelous on the Today program, Alex.
- Yes, congratulations, you were terrific.
They're always horribly snide, but I thought by the end,
you'd won them over.
- Thank you, James.
- Because you're principled and because you have integrity.
- Something friend Worsley could do with.
- I think it's a bit too late for that, don't you?
(chuckling)
Speak of the devil.
You'd think that forming a government
might be more important than having lunch.
- [Brian] Alexander.
- Brian.
- Hello, Elspeth.
- Hello, Brian.
You know James Morpeth?
- You've known me since Cambridge, Elspeth.
Do you think I would take bribes?
- If you want to give us your side of the story,
I'm more than happy to arrange an interview.
- I've already said I know nothing about
these so-called offshore accounts.
Enjoy your lunch.
- Poor Brian.
Dead man walking.
- What's this?
- Just some facts to put Worsley in his political grave.
(tense music)
(people chattering)
- All right?
- All right.
Is Dean in?
- Dean who?
- Dean Stubbs.
- No.
Sorry, mate.
Don't know any Dean Stubbs.
- Do you mind if I have a little look around?
I've been thinking of joining a gym.
- Yeah, you should.
- Looking for a friend of Joseph Collins.
Joe's friend comes in here quite a lot.
He's a boxer.
His name's Dean.
Dean Stubbs.
You're Dean, aren't ya?
(mysterious music)
(gunshots banging)
(water running)
(siren wailing)
(phone ringing)
- Yeah.
- You know how many times I called you?
- Frank, how's it going?
- Well you're the lawyer, you tell me.
- Yeah, all right, listen, I'm on my way.
- Yeah, get here lively, H.
The judge has already told the jury he'll accept a majority.
- All right.
(phone beeps)
- Cheers, appreciate it.
Thank you.
I shall see you later.
- Sorry.
- Thought for a bit there you weren't going to show, H.
- Hey, got you a result, didn't I?
- Hey.
I'm an innocent man.
If you can't get an innocent man off, what are you good for?
- Well, the innocent ones are the hardest, believe me.
- You don't look too good, H.
- Can I have a word?
I met a woman.
- [Frank] Nice?
- Yeah, she's beautiful.
Intelligent.
Looks like she's got a few quid.
- Well, you should be a very happy man.
- Well, on paper.
Trouble is, I think she's trying to set me up.
- [Frank] For what?
- The Braddick murder.
- What do you mean "set you up?"
Who is she?
- She's a solicitor, acting for Stevie Quirke.
She wanted me to go and see him, so I did, yesterday.
- What's Stevie got to do with Braddick?
- He said he saw Paul Hillman.
(laughing)
- You gotta be fucking kidding me.
- That's what he said.
Frank, I want to ask a little favor.
It might not be completely legal.
- Harry. - What?
- Hillman's dead.
- I know.
- Mark's dead.
- I know.
- You want my advice?
- No.
(tense music)
- Is your vision at all affected?
- No, it's fine.
- Headache?
- Yeah.
- How often do you take cocaine?
- Hmm?
Well, I had, a little line or two last night.
- Is it a regular thing?
- No.
- [Doctor] We've taken an X-ray,
but I'm gonna recommend an MRI.
- Well, I don't think it's that bad.
- Just to be on the safe side.
- You were recommended by a friend of mine.
Gina Hawkes.
(mysterious music)
- I'll make you an appointment.
There'll probably be a bit of a wait.
- She said the Zopiclone you gave her
is really helping with her insomnia.
She's a beautiful woman.
Isn't she?
- You'll need a tetanus shot.
- As I said, Doctor, I don't think it's that bad,
it was just a punch, there wasn't really any blood.
- Take your jacket off and roll up your sleeve.
Roll up your sleeve.
- Some other time.
What do you think?
- Doable.
But doable for what, what do you want?
- Frank, I'm trying to find out who Gina Hawkes is.
Now if she's on his books, he'll have her medical records,
an address, something.
- Okay.
- You know it's all computerized.
- I got a guy.
- Call me when you're done.
- You'll answer this time?
- Here.
Here you go, expenses.
Kentish Town, please, mate.
- H.
Listen to me.
Back when I was working, some mornings I'd be driving
to the job and I'd look out and see all these people
doing ordinary things, you know?
Waiting at a bus-stop, buying a coffee,
buying a sandwich and I'd, like, look at them
and I'd think, why am I putting myself through this?
They're all relaxed, happy, probably.
Me?
I'm on my way to pull a robbery.
The blood's beating in my veins, my head feels light,
I'm feeling sick.
One time I turned to Wendell and I said,
"you know, we could stop.
"We could go to a caff, have a coffee,
"read the paper, go home.
"We don't have to do this."
You understand what I'm telling you?
- Yeah, and what did old Wendell say?
- Long as you understand.
'Cause actions have consequences,
that's just the law of nature.
- I need to find out who killed Mark, and why.
- Yeah, even if it puts you in prison for 20 years?
(phone ringing)
- [Harry] Yeah.
- [Gina] This is Gina Hawkes.
- Where are ya?
I can be with you in 20 minutes.
We can have lunch.
- I'm on my way to Paris.
- [Harry] I'll get the train, we'll have dinner.
- Have you thought about what we discussed?
- I've thought about you, Gina.
Constantly.
Day and night, if you really want to know.
- Will you take the job?
- If I can have a down payment of 10,000 pounds.
- Call the Hodgkins Truss Willson number
and leave your bank details.
The money will be in your account later by the end of today.
- Blimey, you work fast.
I like that.
So where are we having dinner?
I like Paris.
- I expect an update twice a day,
one at midnight, one at seven a.m..
If at any time there's anything significant,
you are to call me at once.
- How do you define significant?
For instance, you've become a significant part of my life.
- You will receive the balance of your fee
when you locate Joe Collins.
Once you find him, you're not to let him
out of your sight until I get there.
- Do you know what?
If I'm ever in trouble, I want you to be my lawyer, Gina.
In fact, I will get in trouble just to have you
as my lawyer.
- Call me if there's anything else you need.
- I'm sure there will be.
- Goodbye, Mr. Venn. - Gina.
One more thing.
Have you ever heard of a bloke called Jason Styles?
- No.
Why?
- You know what, you'd be smashing in the witness box.
If I didn't know better, I'd believe
you were telling the truth.
- Just find Joe Collins, Mr. Venn.
- Harry.
- [Woman On Loudspeaker] The Eurostar service
to Paris Gare du Nord, calling at Lille Gare Europe,
is now ready for boarding.
(phone ringing)
(phone beeps)
- Hello?
- [Man On Phone] Get out of there.
- What?
- [Man On Phone] Get out of your office, Harry.
Now.
- Who is this?
Hello? (phone beeps)
(suspenseful music)
Matt.
Come on.
- Where we going?
- Come on.
- So what's going on?
- I don't know what's going on.
Somebody just phoned me and told me to get out the office.
- What, is Frances coming with a gun?
- Just shut up, Matt.
- All right, calm down.
Look, you can stay out here if you want.
I've got work to do.
(explosion booming) (car alarms blaring)
- [Man] Now based on 30 years as a copper,
I'd say that someone's trying to kill you.
- [Harry] This woman's got a file on me.
- The wrong type of person could take
considerable advantage of that.
(people shouting)
- What do we want to achieve?
- The end of Brian Worsley.
- [Gina] Don't come to Paris, Mr. Venn.
- [Harry] Maybe she's the one in trouble.
- [Man] If she is, take my advice, run.
- If you find anything about Quirke that can help,
I'd be very grateful.
- [Harry] Something big is going on here, Frank.
Somebody tried to kill me.
- Sorry, H.
What you're mixed up in, I don't want to be mixed up in.
