The Lawyer (2018–…): Season 1, Episode 5 - Episode #1.5 - full transcript

PREVIOUSLY ON THE LAWYER

-The murder report has been forged.
-Isn't your name Anker any more?

Different foster homes and adoption
after our parents were murdered.

You know everything about the legal
system in Sweden and Denmark.

-Don't say that we're siblings.
-A previous client, Thomas Waldman.

-He put the bomb under the car.
-Good morning, darling!

I expect you've heard about
my biological mother, Blanka?

Help me find her.
It'll be our secret.

-I'm in love with you.
-Don't risk your marriage for me.

I've asked for a divorce. Waldman
must be tied to the drugs deal.

-Didn't you have something on Bogdan?
-I have the mobile.



I have information that leads
right to the top.

Patricia's the prosecutor.
Brian's going to meet her.

You're involving people
you're also fucking?

THE LAWYER

You can stay in the car.
Only the family gets to come in.

Do you understand what I'm saying,
Frank?

We don't know
if Brian gave the mobile to Patricia.

I'll check that.

Don't make any trouble here.
Do you understand?

You can nod if you understand,
can't you?

-Hi. Sara Khalil, Malmö Police.
-How can I help you?

I need to see the property
belonging to Patri...

-The woman with the bullet wounds.
-Yes, of course.

Wait a minute. Let me see...



Follow me,
I'll show you where it is.

Here you are. Let me know when you're
done and I'll lock up.

11 UNANSWERED CALLS
FRANK NORDLING

-How is she?
-She's alive.

She's alive.

-How long?
-Frank...

I wonder if she'll be alive tomorrow
or only five minutes.

What do you want me to say?
That it's not serious?

It is serious. She was shot
in the head, but she's alive.

That's all we could hope for
right now.

It was Markos who did it.

A worker at the petrol station
filmed him. He can identify him.

He won't get away with it.

-What about Waldman?
-We'll catch him too.

-Maybe not now, but we will.
-With Bogan's mobile.

Markos has it.

Trust me.
Waldman won't get away with this.

No.

No, he won't.

We can't just stand here.

-Can I borrow your car?
-I'll drive you.

-I want to be alone.
-You shouldn't drive now.

No, damn it!

Oh my God, you scared me!

I thought it was Dad.
He doesn't like me smoking.

-Is he at home?
-No, not now.

He'll be back soon.
Do you want to wait inside?

Come.

Come in.

Please shut the door.

Would you like something to drink?
Beer, wine, coffee?

-Cappuccino, latte or espresso?
-I don't care.

I'll make a cappuccino.

We don't have any milk.
It'll have to be an espresso.

Dad's only drunk latte
since we got this machine.

Not that we needed a new one.
The old one worked okay.

Let's see how long this one lasts.

I expect he'll come home
with a new one tomorrow.

The new photos were taken last year.

Dad loves new things.
Everything has to be new.

New cars, new women.

Do you like new things too,
or is it just him?

Frank?

Thanks for letting me wait,
but I have to go home.

Dad could come any time.

I'll contact him tomorrow,
it wasn't that important.

What about the espresso?

Do you know how
much I've worked for that?

-Thanks.
-Frank?

Yes?

Have you noticed anything strange
about Dad?

-Have you noticed anything strange?
-I don't know.

-Otherwise you wouldn't have asked.
-That reminds me a bit about...

...how he was
before Ayala ended up in prison.

-Who's Ayala?
-Forget it.

-I suppose it's just me.
-Therese...

You can trust me.
I won't tell anyone.

-Who is it?
-I've probably misunderstood.

-I reek of smoke. Got a mint?
-No.

Frank? Why the hell are you here?

I was just passing by.

I thought I'd give you
the Premier Food contract,

but I found a typo, so...
It was a wasted journey.

Hi, Dad. Did you have a nice evening?

No. I should've stayed here with you.

OK. See you tomorrow.

Frank!

Yes?

What was the problem
with the contract?

Nothing important. Just a wrong
figure in the fourth paragraph.

-Can I have a look?
-Sorry?

You've got it with you, right?
So you can show me the mistake.

It's nothing important.

Just a few clicks on the PC,
and I'll print out a new copy.

Okay...

Do you take me for an idiot? Well?

I don't know what you're after.

But this stops here and now.
My daughter, Therese, is off limits.

Absolutely.

-I'm glad we understand each other.
-Yes.

The condition is critical
for the prosecutor who was shot

at a petrol station
in Malmö last night.

A Danish citizen was shot several
times and died at the scene.

The Police have procured
video evidence...

-What the hell are you doing here?
-You must help me.

I can't help you, Markos.

Are you crazy?
Get lost before someone sees you.

-What will Waldman say when...
-I'm not involved in this.

Not involved in this?
Listen to yourself.

Someone's coming. Press the button.

Stop the lift!

Don't touch anything.

-Good morning.
-Good morning.

Were you planning to shoot Waldman
with my weapon?

Are you thick in the head?

What would have happened to me?
My job? Looking after Liam?

Give me the magazine.

-I haven't shot anybody.
-Sorry, just checking...

...but I don't trust you right now.

I haven't shot anybody.
I'm a coward.

-You're not a coward.
-I got Patricia involved in this.

The surgery is finished.
She's still alive.

Have you slept at all?

I'll find a sleeping pill.

When you've had a rest, you'll have
to think of an explanation for

why you called
Patricia 11 times last night.

I'm sure you know that
the detectives will want to know why?

They'll be contacting you.

What's going on, Thomas?
It's just a mess.

It's just a mess, Thomas.

-Just a mess?
-Yes.

-You shot a prosecutor.
-I didn't know she was a prosecutor.

She had Bogdan's mobile.
Was she just supposed to keep it?

You've ruined everything.

Bogdan's coming here this afternoon.

When the office is empty.
Now, listen closely.

You'll show your face here again.

Do you understand?

Thomas. Wait, Thomas.

I know that I messed this up.
I'll put it right.

Relax. Calm down.

What's that?

The condition of the female
prosecutor who was shot

is stable, but still critical.
She was hit by several bullets,

one of which reportedly
hit her in the head.

The doctors are optimistic regarding
her chances of survival.

-Rubbish. She was shot in the head.
-Yes, but her condition is stable.

A vegetable is stable too.
Did they say she was conscious? No.

-Had they removed the bullet?
-They don't tell us everything.

You can live just fine
with a bullet inside you.

This is her brain.
If she ever regains consciousness,

she'll be an invalid
for the rest of her life.

-Let's drop the subject.
-I'm only kidding.

Hi, Frank. How are you doing?

Just fine.

Svend-Erik?

Hello?

Hello?

Svein-Erik isn't there.
He's in the meeting room.

I was just wondering...
When does the meeting end?

There is no meeting.
Go right in.

Yes?

-Are you sitting here?
-Yes, I needed a change.

-OK. I thought...
-What have you got there?

Sorry.
The Premium Food Selection contract.

It looks good.

I'll get Therese to copy them
on thick paper.

-Frank?
-Yes?

-I think you should take over.
-Don't you want to contact Waldman?

No, it's just a formality,
a signature.

-You've done the heavy work.
-Okay.

Everybody has to get out.

Come on, everybody. Out!

Come on. Everybody out.

What the hell!

Bloody hell!

Where's Svend-Erik?

-Hasn't he come out?
-No, he was behind us.

Frank!

Svend-Erik?

Frank!

-Take it easy!
-OK.

Frank Nordling?
Someone wants to meet you.

Who's that?

Danielle Ayala? Have you asked me
to act as your lawyer?

-Yes. I wanted to get you over here.
-Okay.

-Well I'm here. Why?
-I don't like telephones.

You never know who's listening.

A lot of people use a go-between, but
maybe you don't trust your people?

I don't trust you.
Not without meeting you first.

Take a seat.

-Yes?
-I have a message for Waldman.

Okay. What should I do with that?

But Frank...

You were the one
who made the witness lie in court.

We got involved
to save your client.

What's his name again? Kobres?
No, Kodres.

-I represented Martin Kodres.
-And you work for Svend-Erik Wisén.

Should I say more, or is that enough?

Let's suppose that

I can give a message to Waldman.

Now that sounds more like it.

What would the message be?

He must lay off my connections.

He'll stay the hell away
from the Lithuanians.

-Who is it?
-The Premium Food Selection contract.

It's about cooking oil, isn't it?

Yes of course. We could say that.

-Was there anything else?
-Say that this sentence is a joke.

As soon as I get a new lawyer
and a new trial, I'll be released.

The very first thing I'll do,
is to put a bullet in his head.

If he doesn't stay away
from the Lithuanians.

For emergencies only. Keep a
low profile until you get contacted.

-By you?
-I can promise you it won't be.

We will never speak again.

One more thing... Since this is
the last time we'll see each other,

there's something
I want to say to you.

Go to hell, Markos!

AYALA, DANIELLA
CRIME: MURDER

BRUISES

ACCIDENTAL DEATH

WINDOW?

-Hi! Stefan Milton.
-Hi.

Lawyer. I have some questions
about your neighbour, Daniella Ayala.

-It'll only take five minutes.
-I don't want to talk about her.

There are some discrepancies
in the case that puzzle me.

-It's about the ambulance...
-I talk to the Police...

-...and no one else.
-Can I just...

MARKOS JEZ
PROFILE

-Fredrika?
-Hi!

-How are you doing?
-Good. Are you on your way out?

Yes, thank goodness. Out!

I'd like to discuss a case with you.
Do you have a second?

Daniella Ayala has a criminal
lifestyle. She's dealing with drugs.

But the verdict isn't sound.

Allegedly, she pushed her boyfriend,

Elias Dogan,
out a fifth-floor window.

He was depressed and under
the influence of drugs at the time.

When the Police arrived, the flat
was empty. The window was closed.

The prosecutor says there's evidence
that someone was there when he fell.

The decisive factor is that Elias
had bruises on his shoulder.

The pathologist says this
indicates that he was pushed.

-I see that.
-But...

Here is a similar fall in Denmark.
Similar bruises.

The Danish pathologist says

that the paramedics' handling
of the body caused the bruises.

Have you talked to the neighbour
who called the ambulance?

Yes and no. He won't talk.
But I'll try again.

I think she was mainly convicted
due to her previous record.

The expert witness is dubious.

A life sentence on this basis
may be debatable.

Of course.
If I could, I would have...

I can't take the case because I have
previously represented Elias Dogan.

-I'm disqualified. Damn...
-Somebody has to do something.

Somebody has to. Someone...

No...

I thought you said no.
That would have been strange.

-I've never had such a big case.
-Well, it's about time you did.

You're welcome.

-Hi.
-Hi.

I came as fast as I could.

-Do you want anything?
-No thanks.

What is it?

I'm going away.

OK...

-Do you want to come?
-Are you joking?

No, I'm not joking.

-Stop it, Markos. What is it?
-I told you.

I have to go away,
and I want you to go with me.

I thought you'd found out something
about my mother.

Stop thinking about your mother.
I want you to go away with me.

-I'm leaving now.
-Tess? Tess!

Therese! Don't. Wait.

-Let go. What are you doing? Let go!
-Therese.

What are you doing? Let me go!

Let go of me!

-Idiot! Let me go!
-Take it easy.

Therese, don't.

Leave me alone. Let go of me!

-Leave me alone!
-Stop doing that!

Markos!

-Bloody cop bitch.
-What did you say?

I'm gonna find you and kill you.

-Thanks for coming.
-Of course.

We want the attempted murder
of Patricia Staaf to be investigated.

-And the murder of Brian Poulsen.
-Absolutely.

-He was your client?
-That's right.

I represented Brian in
an assault case in Denmark.

I took over the case
from a colleague.

That's the only contact
I've had with Brian.

-And Patricia Staaf?
-Yes?

-What kind of contact did you have?
-Through work.

-That's all?
-That's all.

You too had an intense telephone
conversation here the other day.

I don't know
if I would call that intense.

-You called her 11 times.
-I tried to get hold of her.

-She didn't answer.
-Why did you want to get hold of her?

I had a question about
the court case against Kodres.

Additional questions about evidence.
It was important.

I want to show you something.

Now let's start from the beginning.

How do you know Patricia Staaf?

We have a professional relationship.

She's a prosecutor.
I'm a defence lawyer.

Interview terminated.
The time is 16.42.

That's all for today.
I might contact you again.

-Hi.
-What's happened?

You need some stitches!
Was it Marcos?

He was hiding on one
of Waldman's properties.

-They can't arrest Waldman for that.
-No, but Markos is going to prison.

Can you interview
Daniella Ayala's neighbour?

Ask how the paramedics
handled the body.

-Daniella Ayala? What do you mean?
-She might get a new court case.

The gangster mom
who killed her boyfriend?

She didn't do it.
Waldman stole her supplier.

What are you doing?

She's serving a lifetime sentence
for something she didn't do.

-She's done a lot of other stuff.
-Maybe, but not this.

You'll try to get her released?
Do you want to start a gang war?

Are you crazy, Frank?

Sit down.

A gang war will force Waldman out.

And put many innocent people's lives
at risk.

-And Patricia? She was innocent.
-There'll be shooting in the streets.

I'm asking you to talk to a witness.

This was your idea, so don't you sit
there talking about right and wrong.

-This is not okay.
-Okay.

Talk to the witness and I'll help you
get custody of Liam.

Are you involving Liam in this?

I'm only asking you for a small
thing. You're making it a big deal.

Help me and I'll help you.

Anyone else who can testify for you
in the custody dispute?

-Are you going to testify against me?
-Will you talk to the witness?

You don't mean that.

It's up to you.

-Frank Nordling.
-Your name isn't on the list.

-Sorry.
-Jonas?

-Hi, I'm Frank.
-I know who you are.

You can go in.

Sara Khalil, Malmö Police.

I have some questions
about Daniella Ayala.

Okay. Come in.
