:13:00
I've done nothing!
Why should I be arrested?

:13:02
This is England! You don't get arrested
or convicted for crimes you haven't done.

:13:06
We try not to make a habit of it.
:13:09
But it does happen, though, doesn't it?
:13:12
Of course. There was that case of
that fellow, whatshisname, Adolph Beck.

:13:17
In jail for years and they
suddenly found it was another chap.

:13:20
- He'd been innocent!
- Unfortunate, but restitution was made.

:13:24
He received a pardon, a bounty from the
crown, and was restored to normal life.

:13:28
That's all right for him. What if
it had been murder? What if he'd hanged?

:13:32
How would they have restored him
to his normal life then?

:13:35
Mr Vole, you must not take
such a morbid point of view.

:13:39
It's just when you say these things
are closing in on me, it's like a nightmare.

:13:43
Relax. You're in the hands of the finest,
most experienced barrister in London.

:13:48
Let's get this straight. I may have done
something highly unethical.

:13:51
I've taken your cigar
but I'm not taking your case. I can't.

:13:55
I'm forbidden. My doctors would never
allow it. I'm truly sorry, young man.

:14:00
But if you'd like the case
handled by these chambers,

:14:03
- I'd recommend Mr Brogan-Moore.
- Yes. A very able man.

:14:07
- I second Sir Wilfrid's recommendation.
- All right, sir, if you say so.

:14:15
Hold this.
:14:20
Carter?
:14:22
I would like to see Brogan-Moore here
as soon as he comes in from court.

:14:26
Sir Wilfrid, I have never
known such insubordination.

:14:28
Not even as a nurse during the war.
:14:31
What war was that?
The Crimean War, no doubt.

:14:35
You'll like Brogan-Moore,
he's had excellent training. Under me.

:14:39
This morning I had no lawyers at all
and now suddenly I have three.

:14:43
We should explain
that I have very little money.

:14:46
I shan't be able to pay
all the costs and fees.

:14:48
We'll get a fourth lawyer to sue you.
:14:50
He won't get very much.
I haven't had a job in four months.

:14:53
- What sort of work do you do?
- Well, uh...

:14:56
My last job was as a mechanic.
The foreman kept riding me all the time.
