The Lawyer (2018–…): Season 1, Episode 6 - Episode #1.6 - full transcript

PREVIOUSLY ON THE LAWYER

The report on our parents murder
is false.

Someone bothered to get rid of
the policeman Jarnu Marcon. Why?

-Were you there?
-Yes.

It took some time,
but the body is gone now.

-What did the police say?
-Nothing.

Let's say I could pass
a message on to Waldman.

He can't steal my contacts.

-The Premium Food Selection contract.
-That's cooking oil, isn't it?

I've put a GPS
on Bogdan Nikolitch's car.

We need to show Waldman's connection.



Ayala is serving life
for something she didn't do.

Are you trying to free her?
Do you want a gang war?

Waldman stole her supplier.

A gang war will force Waldman out.

And hurt innocent people.

Patricia was innocent.

-I can help you with custody of Liam.
-Are you involving Liam?

I think they judged her
mainly on old merits.

I can't take it.

-I never handled such a big case.
-Then it's about time.

53 year old Daniella Ayala
is serving life for murder.

Starting Thursday, her case will be
tried again in the court of appeal.

We are interviewing
expert professor Tambri Mon.

What is your opinion on the case
being brought to court of appeal?



Good morning.

Has it been a while since you
had breakfast in bed?

It's been a while
since I even had breakfast.

I've got fresh bread...

Coffee and some orange juice.

The prosecutor who was shot three
weeks ago remains critical.

The Danish suspect, aged 35,
who is being held in Malmö

is also thought to be involved
in Jarnu Marcon's disappearance,

a Danish police officer, aged 62.

Copenhagen Police have found
fingerprints from the 35-year-old

on a boat belonging to Jarnu Marcon.

I asked around a bit
about Jarnu Marcon.

The colleagues seem
convinced he's dead.

There has been no mobile traffic
since the disappearance,

and no card or bank transactions.

What's the deal with Jarnu?
Is it private?

-Yes.
-Alright.

My family...

But...

It's fine. You can tell me.

-Can I do anything?
-No.

Or... Yes.

I need to get hold of
a retired police officer.

Torben Kröjer.
He doesn't want to speak to me.

Why not?

He got impatient with me one time.

It was... a long time ago.

But I would like you to...
help me get in touch with him.

How the hell could Ayala get her
new trial so quickly?

On the news they said
that after two years in jail

the re-trial has to happen
within a week.

She pushed Elias out of the window.
She has no chance.

She does, that's why
her case is appealed.

Who's her lawyer?

Some Fredrika Bernstein or Bernsten.

I never heard of her.

She must under no circumstances
be freed, understand?

-Understand?
-Okay.

Who have we got
on the inside in Ystad Prison?

-Fix it, okay?
-Yes.

Markos told me

that the police officer
who arrested him

was the same Swedish one, who
was searching for Jarnu on the boat.

Sara Khalil from
Malmö narcotics division.

That's probably to do
with Ayalas business.

I think it's okay. We're sending
a load of refuse on Thursday.

The oil and the goods
are sent the next day.

Get a move on,
or we might lose Ledas too.

Bloody hell!

What's going on?

I think it's something I ate.

Markos has been arrested
for shooting a prosecutor.

-It's a misunderstanding.
-A prosecutor. It's mad.

Therese, they have simply
got the wrong guy.

-Are you alright, dad?
-What?

-Are you ill or something?
-I am just going to...

-I can see there's something.
-It must be something I ate.

Tell me what's going on!

I'm sorry Svend-Erik, I forgot.
I'll have Jacob send it right away.

- Was it at the court-house yesterday?
-No, I'm there now.

Jacob? Svend-Erik needs the
ballistics from Hässelvägen.

He needs it now, and I can't
so you have to do it.

It's on the computer in my room.
The password is "Kimura".

K-I-M-U-R-A.

- I'll do it right away .
-Good.

Hi, I'm from the housing society.

Your neighbours have been complaining
about a draught.

Could I just check your windows?
I won't be long.

Okay, come in.

Alright.

I didn't touch anything.

-Thank you, Berit.
-You're welcome.

-Why don't you pick up the phone?
-We need another solution.

-It's the only way.
-Come here.

The window in the flat slams
when you shut the front door.

I went to the neighbours flat
and tried it.

That means it's not impossible that
Ayalas window slammed

after Dogan had jumped
and the son slammed the door.

But I can't do this.
Why did you talk me into it?

Listen, we fly in the Danish expert.

He says the bruises appeared after
his death. That's all the work done.

Come on!

Alright then.

-Let's use the phones.
-What?

-I can text you.
-During the trial?

-Yes.
-No.

Yes, I'm right there listening
to everything, coaching you.

But I can't stand with my phone
during questioning.

-An earphone then.
-Never. That's not allowed.

A legal assessor. That's allowed.
This is practically the same thing.

I'll be with you all the way.
You mustn't miss the opportunity.

-What if I mess it up?
-You won't with me there.

-I'm late, I've got to go.
-Fine. Fredrika...

Go and get yourself a new suit.

You can walk into the court room
as a winner, with self confidence.

With a commanding presence.

You can do it.

It's going to be fine.

Okay.

You're lucky I can't afford
an additional sentence right now.

I will not be as sensible next time.
Understand?

Tell your Danish friends.

All good?

Just be calm now.

I promised
you wouldn't start anything.

Thomas Waldman blew up the car
and murdered my parents.

Jarnu Marcon worked for Waldman,
but what had dad done to Waldman?

Jarnu said he had probably
got to close.

What do you think? I am stuck here.

I can't prove anything.

People talked after the explosion.

They said your father was corrupt.

I always said that was bullshit.

But now you mention Waldman,

there might be something in it.

My dad wasn't corrupt.

It might be that Waldman
reacted so strongly

because your father
was starting to become wilful,

or not do as he said.

You're lying.

Jarnu Marcon is dead, right?
Killed by Waldman.

Huh?

Am I right?

MALMÖ PRIVATE MEDICAL PRACTICE

-Hey, how are you?
-Good.

I've only got 15 minutes
until my next patient.

I suppose you're here
because Sara told you.

It's a chance of a lifetime.
A fellowship in Boston.

I have to pinch myself to believe it.

I'm here as Sara's lawyer.
She wants full custody of Liam.

You're joking.

Hang on. Sara doesn't stand
a chance against me in court.

The best thing for you,
is to agree to this.

-Forget it.
-You have a drugs sentence from 2007.

Where the hell is that from?

If the US finds out about this
you won't even enter the country.

Here are the custody papers.
Sign here.

We both know Liam is better off
with me. This is insane.

Please, Frank. Sara is ill. She
chases druggies with Liam in the car.

-She still uses herself.
-Are you going to sign?

-Think about Liam.
-Okay.

Think about it until tomorrow.

Then I will need an answer.

What the hell happened to you?

How can I help?

-Are you Nina?
-Maybe. Why?

You're renting this place
from Marcon.

I'm a colleague of his and I need to
search his things. Where are they?

I've only got furniture here.
His personal items are in the cellar.

-Have you got the key?
-No.

You could ask the landlord.

-It's storage space 32.
-Thanks.

Torben, who's that woman with dad?

Blanka Waldman. Thomas' wife.

She also disappeared
when your parents were blown up.

-Thank you.
-Good luck.

-Hi.
-Some clothes for you.

Great. This is for you.

Svend-Erik, we need to take a look
at that property.

I'll see if the owner is there
and try to get the price down.

It's not reasonable.

I am not sure if we should...

You know after this Marcos business

maybe I should keep a low profile
and not be seen with you.

-Why?
-For everyone's sake.

So that...

So that all doesn't mess up.

But that's your job.

Sure. But Markos coming to hide here,

is one step too far.

Svend-Erik, let me remind you
that the two of us trust each other.

I'll go now, and I want the papers
ready when I get back. Agreed?

Is there a problem? I saw...

Not at all.

Fine.

-Frank?
-Yes.

Take a seat.

Can I give you
a really good piece of advice?

Of course.

Never ever let a client get to close.

Waldman?

That lawyer from your old work...

-Francisca?
-Fredrika?

Fredrika Bernsten.

What is she like?

Good.

She's handling an old case.
I've never seen her before.

She's been on maternity leave,
but she's very good.

-Did you get the ballistics report?
-Yes.

Good.

COURT OF APPEAL
FOR SKÅNE AND BLEKINGE

Hello, can you hear me?
I can't hear you, Frank.

Frank, can you hear me?
I can't hear you.

-Hello
-I can hear you now.

-Can you hear me?
-Now I can. Good.

The county court calls all parties
and representatives to courtroom one.

Okay.

The court of appeal decided
there was no reasonable doubt,

that Daniella Ayala
took Elias Dogans life by

pushing him from their window
on the fifth floor.

Daniella Ayala was sentenced to
lifetime in prison.

-Please go ahead.
-Thank you.

During this trial
the defence will show

that the technical evidence
used was lacking

not to say incorrect.

There has been new evidence found
that shows...

Can everyone please, as usual,
set their phones to flight mode.

They create feedback in our system.

It was me. Sorry about that.

-Please continue.
-Thank you.

We will show that the fact that the
window was closed does not

necessarily mean
that Daniella closed it.

Let's go.

You lived in the flat next door

to Daniella Ayala on the date in
question, 3 January. Is that correct?

-Yes, and I live there still.
-Right.

What was your relationship
to Daniella?

No, watch out!
That's an open question.

None at all.
I don't associate with the mafia.

-Calm down.
-A criminal! What do you think of me?

-Just answer the question.
-Direct the question.

Is it correct you were at home
at that time?

-Yes.
-What did the ambulance personnel do?

Direct the question, Fredrika.

Let's put it like this:
When the ambulance arrived,

was the first thing they did
to turn over the body?

It was hard work. Two young girls
tried to turn over a big man.

Yes, that's good. Keep going.

So to lift the body to the stretcher,
they had to exert quite some effort?

Hello?

Hello?

Fuck.

SEE YOU IN RECESS

Here.

-I had to turn it off.
-That's fine.

-How did it go.
-So so.

I got the neighbour to say that his
window closes when you slam the door.

And I said that it is normal for her
fingerprints to be on her own window.

Good.

I also got the neighbour to describe

that the ambulance personnel handled
the body roughly around the arms.

Great. What else have we got?

We've got the coroner and our expert
witness, and that's it.

-Let's use the phone again.
-No.

You need me in there.

-Right? Let's do it together.
-Yes.

Okay, good.

Keep going.

-Keep your voice calm.
-I will.

You have to sound calm.

Over to the prosecutor.
Please, go ahead.

The bruises we've seen
on Elias' body,

could they have appeared
when the body hit the ground?

Absolutely.

But bruises on
the arms and shoulders are...

In my opinion those occurred when the
victim resisted before being pushed.

The predominant injury image
for the bruises

is that they occurred because of

a violent struggle before Elias
fell out the window.

Thank you. No further questions.

-Any questions from the defence?
-Yes, please.

-No, no. Don't...
-These bruises are relatively pale.

Would they be so pale if he
had struggled for his life?

You don't know the answer.

As you say, it's relative.

Some people bruise very easily
and on others more force is required.

The relevant thing here is that the
bruises occurred before he died.

Bruises can't occur on a body
without circulation.

You're a coroner from Aalborg, and
have a published work on the subject.

What is your opinion on the bruises
on Elias's body?

They're typical handling bruises.

Can the bruises have occurred after
death, during ambulance handling?

Yes, I see that every day.

Sometimes they don't appear
until many days later.

-Even without circulation?
-Yes, certainly.

I am confident that the coroner's
conclusion is erroneous.

It's based on dated research.

The placement on the arms is typical

for lifting or moving a heavy body.
There are also marks on the ankles.

-Good, good.
-Yes...

Ask more about that.

Fredrika, keep questioning him.
What's going on?

-Did Svend-Erik come in?
-Mm.

Are you finished?

No, sorry.
Were there bruises on his ankles?

You can see them in the pictures.

The typical placement
on the arms and shoulders,

is consistent with lifting or moving
a heavy body.

Well done.

The court of appeal decided to
release lifetime prisoner Ayala,

awaiting the judgement.

This is a strong indication
that the court

after due consideration
will dismiss the charges against her.

During the hearing new evidence
was presented,

suggesting that the partner
who was an addict,

might have committed suicide,
jumping from the fifth floor.

His bruises may not have occurred
as a result of a struggle.

His lawyer held an emotional closing
argument, which suggested...

-What will happen now?
-Nothing.

The lawyer also put emphasis on...

They've released Daniella Ayala.
I know who that is.

Therese, relax.

-Are we in danger?
-No, we're not.

Since I was 15 I've been scared

of someone coming to hurt us.

Killing you or kidnapping me.

When I pass a funnily parked car...

-Don't keep me out of it.
-Therese, it's under control.

It's not... Fuck!

Fucking shit.

"Kimura".

WINDOW?

POSTMORTEM INJURIES

Hey, I'm looking for a super lawyer,
who just won a big case...

There she is! Hey? You won.

It doesn't feel great. Cheating
leaves a bad taste in the mouth.

I don't know your
real reasons, Frank,

but I know you weren't doing it
to do me a favour.

So you think it's fine to jail
an innocent person for life?

You can take this.

Frank?

Take this one as well.

Daniella Ayala came and said she'd
like me to continue as her lawyer.

I said she should go to you,
the brain behind the whole thing.

-That was a secret.
-But why?

There's no conflict of interest. I
checked. You never represented Elias.

I'm not interested in
your obscure excuses.

I don't want your help in the future.

Hi. I need to talk to you
about something.

About what?

It's slightly sensitive.
It's about Frank.

CENTRE OF LEGAL AFFAIRS

-The harbour office, Karlshamn.
-Sara Khalil, Malmö Police.

Can you tell me which car ferries
depart on Tuesdays 7.15 pm?

You can't send your lawyer to
blackmail me.

-My lawyer?
-Frank. He says he's your lawyer.

Are you trying to ruin our lives?
Hey, I'm talking.

Listen, we can find solutions here
with enough planning.

It can be great,
if we just discuss it as adults.

Discuss it with my lawyer.

Nikolitch's car has been
in Karlshamn three times,

when ferries from the Baltics
have berthed.

I had a chat with Said earlier.

Thank you.

-Was that your way of saying sorry?
-I don't know.

-Did it work?
-Don't push me again.

-You got Ayala freed.
-Of course. She was innocent.

There will be a gang war.
Why didn't you listen to me.

Me and the team could have
stopped Waldman's drug dealing.

No, you could have stopped Bogdan,
but you wouldn't have got to Waldman.

Ayala might sort all this out for us,
or she might start a gang war.

Then Waldman will be exposed,
and we can get him.

Let's start with Bogdan.

The heroin trade between Klaipeda
and Karlshamn is not news.

Elaborate, Sara.
They pack it in cooking oil?

Exactly. In big vats of cooking oil.

Then it is repacked in town,
in an industrial estate.

-Who's your source?
-He's new and unregistered.

But all information we got so far
checks out.

-Do you know the warehouse?
-I've been there.

You and Joel keep an eye
on the warehouse.

Carlos, you get the blueprints of
the building and maps of the area.

Sara. You need to keep
Erik updated all the time.

When we get closer we'll have a good
overview and are well prepared.

Any questions?

Do you know where Jacob is?

No one seems to know.
I need some help.

Take a seat.

Jacob doesn't work here anymore.

We had a chat.

I explained to him that I don't like
people snooping around.

Jacob has himself to blame.

Now the question is...

What to do with you?

I don't understand.

I know you were involved
in Daniella Ayalas retrial.

Fredrika is an old colleague.
I helped with some general questions.

Frank! It was a huge retrial.

Why didn't you bring it here, instead
of giving it to your old firm?

There was a risk of disqualification,
because of Ayala and Waldman.

-So you choose to help Ayala?
-No.

You are working
against my biggest client.

Frank, are you trying to
ruin my business?

Tell me the truth, Frank. Now.

Or you pick up your things and leave.

Would you rather speak to Waldman
about it?

The attempted murder
of prosecutor Patricia Staaf...

I know that was Waldman's doing.

What's she got to do with this?

Patricia and I...

Waldman ruined her life,
and I want to ruin his.

Stop there, Frank.

Have you completely lost your mind?

And the guy who came here
and set of the fire alarm...

Markos, who you protected.

I've got a question for you.

What's going on
between you and Waldman?

Where is he? I want to talk to him.

I tried to stop him.

That's for me.

Let's talk in my office.

-You haven't signed.
-And I won't.

Let me just be really clear here.

-I was serious yesterday.
-I know you were.

I know you were, unfortunately.
So I'm not going to Boston.

-You're staying in Sweden?
-Yes.

But I'm going to fight for sole
custody, just so you know.

Svend-Erik?

-Dad?
-Where's Svend-Erik?

-We've got an appointment.
-I don't know.

-Bloody hell.
-Is he with you?

-That's just Jovan.
-A body guard?

-Don't worry, my love.
-I know where mum lives.

What?

An anonymous person has followed
my social media for four years.

Now I know that person is mum.

-Therese, listen...
-She's been looking for me.

-She's followed me.
-You mustn't contact that woman.

We'll talk about it later.

You have to come with me, Frank.

I need to view this property.
Svend-Erik has other priorities.

-I don't have time, I have a meeting.
-Come here.

COPENHAGEN

Where the hell is he?

The owner? Should we go up?

Yes, let's wait for him up there.

I want to invest in these two floors.

This will be offices.

Further down will be a meeting room.

This will be more offices.

Down here...

It's one of Ayala's men. Come.

It's me. We need a clean-up.
I'll send you the address.

Thank you.

Hi, Frank.

Hi.
