Your Honor (2022): Season 1, Episode 1 - Episode #1.1 - full transcript

For Judge Michael Jacobi, the law always comes first. As a father, however, he finds himself in a dilemma: his son Julian admits that he was involved in a hit-and-run car accident. The fact that the seriously injured motorcyclist ...

YOUR HONOR

Fifteen.

I can see the work surface.

-Ten.
-Yes, slowly...

But maybe I'm only imagining it.

Five.

-Now I can see the work surface.
-Lights on.

What about you?

I didn't see anything.

There seems to be
a large amount of variation.

Our eyes adjust to darkness
very differently.



We have to take that into consideration.

Ladies and gentlemen,
thanks for your patience. Please sit.

I call upon the defense to set out
once again, in its entirety,

its expert opinion
on how the eye adjusts to darkness.

-Please don't say we have a meeting.
-No, no, sorry. I just need to collar you.

-Important?
-One minute?

Alright. Shoot.

You won't believe who
invited me to interview.

Hey! CMK Vienna!

-And what now?
-I don't know.

-Who'd have thought they'd say yes?
-Well, me.

I told you they'd take you.

Hey, it's a good law firm, no question.

The question is
if that's what you really want.



You know what their starting salary is?

Well, you don't have to rush into it.

Good people have a lot of options.

And if you don't believe me,
now you have it in black and white.

Sleep on it, okay?

Is it true you've been put forward
for the secretary general post?

And? Are you going to do it?

No. Of course not.

Thank you.

Michael.

Don't worry about it.
I failed first time too.

I forgot to indicate when I changed lane.

Yeah, that's annoying.

Is that why you put the cover sheet over?

Yes.

Because it irritated me.

Come on, let's eat.

I'm not hungry.

I'm really tired.

Can you please explain
what happened to the car?

-What do you mean?
-Hey, don't give me that.

What happened? What did you do?

I screwed up, Dad.

What happened?

Come on, Julian, tell me. What happened?

I had an accident.

You what?

I was so annoyed after the driving test.
I don't know, I just took the car.

You drove the car? Are you crazy?

Dad, I looked.
There was no one on the road.

I pulled out at the crossroads,

then from the left
a guy on a motorbike came way too close...

Wait, a motorbike? You hit a motorcyclist?

Holy shit.

And... is he injured?

-Don't know.
-You don't know? Is he injured or not?

Did you speak to him?

I left.

What? Are you insane? That's hit and run!

How was the biker?

I don't know.

He was lying on the road.

You... you just left him lying there?
Oh wow!

Dad, I didn't want that. I had an attack.

What is wrong with you?
Why didn't you call an ambulance?

Okay, the sequence of events...

You took the car.

Then you had an asthma attack.

And then the accident happened.

Get dressed. We're going to the police.

-I don't want to go to the police.
-Excuse me?

-I don't want to.
-Of course not. But that's immaterial now.

-Dad, can't you do anything?
-Sure I can. I can report you!

I understand that you're scared.

You're not the first to make a mistake.

But now you must take responsibility.

With luck,
the motorcyclist wasn't badly hurt.

Come on.

Hello, Christian. Michael here.

Please could you... Turn the radio down.

Please call me back.
I have a problem. It's important.

I need your help. Thanks.

There's been an accident
in Zillertal on the B183.

In the accident, by Innsbruck-West,
a motorcyclist was seriously injured.

The circumstances of the accident
remain unclear.

The police believe
it was a case of hit and run.

Doctors say the victim
is in a critical condition.

Any witnesses
are requested to contact the police.

Are you okay?

Is it in there? Is it there or not?

I can't find it.

Julian, is it in there or not?

Come on, out you get.

Hands on the roof.
Lay them flat. That's it.

Where's your inhaler?

Shit, where is your inhaler?

Goalkeeper posture, come. Turn around.

Hands on your knees.
Hands on your knees. Right. Look at me.

Look at me. Breathe. In.
Breathe in. That's it.

Hold it. Hold your breath.
Hold your breath.

Purse your lips, and breath out.
That's it.

That's it. Very good. And again. Inhale.

And hold, hold, hold. Look at me.
Hold. Good. And out.

Purse your lips. That's it. That's it.

Yes. Yes. Now you've got it. Keep going.

Inhale. And hold. Hold. Hold.

Keep breathing, nice and calm. That's it.

What will happen to me now?

Don't you worry.

I'm here.

I'm with you.

TYROL POLICE HQ

I'll speak to Kirchner first.
I know her very well.

She'll tell us what we should do.

Okay?

Wait in the car for me.

I'll come and get you.

Good evening. My name is Jakobi.
Is Detective Kirchner here?

-What's it about?
-Just say Justice Jakobi wants a word.

-One moment please.
-Thank you.

...accident in which
a motorcyclist was injured

happened around noon, according to police.

A serious collision with a motorcyclist,

who's now in an induced coma.

Rumors that the victim is
notorious gang member Zlatan Sailovic

have now been officially confirmed.

Zlatan Sailovic is the son
of Radan Sailovic,

the founder of a notorious
Serbian mafia clan

involved in drugs and arms dealing.

In the past he was a member of
the paramilitaries under Milosevic

and frequently accused of war crimes...

Julian?

-Drive the car away right now.
-What?

Drive the car away.

Now!

Michael, hello.

How can I help you?

-I want to file a report.
-About what?

-Sorry. Hello first of all.
-Hello. No problem. What's it about?

My car's gone.

-Hello.
-Hello.

You're in the squad car parking area.

-Here?
-Hm. You can't stay here.

Right.

Park elsewhere.

And on top of that,
the car was to be a gift for my son.

Once he's passed his driving test.

Sorry, just going back a second,
when exactly was the car stolen?

This morning.

Or around noon.

I can't say exactly.

And where exactly was it parked?

-Right outside my house.
-I see.

A lot of cars get stolen in that area.
It's worth it there.

So...

The car's registered to you, I assume?

-Yes.
-Good.

-License plate...
-No, wait.

The car is registered to my mother-in-law.

-Emilia Baumbach.
-Emilia...

Baumbach.

Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop.

So, I can't say there's much hope,
Michael, unfortunately.

As a rule our officers resolve about
a third of all car thefts.

And there's no guarantee that owners
will ever see their cars again.

This is for the insurance.

Thank you.

And I'll pass all the details on
to my colleagues.

-Thanks for taking the time. Thanks.
-It's all I can do right now.

-I told you to drive away.
-A police officer told me to park here.

-What was I to do?
-Did he see the dent?

-No. Don't think so.
-Did he take any written notes?

No.

Dad, what happened?

Zlatan has been in an accident.

He's in a coma.

You're lying!

I swear! He's in a coma in intensive care.

Go on up.

Here...

-You must always have one on you.
-I know.

The person that you hit...

is the son of a man who I sentenced
to a very long jail term a few years ago.

And that changes everything.

What did he do?

It's not that important.

-Now we have to make sure...
-Dad?

Yes?

Please tell me what's going on.

The biker's called Zlatan Sailovic.

He's the son of Radan Sailovic,

the boss of a Serbian mafia group.

They're very dangerous people.

War criminals, drug dealers.

A person's life means nothing to them.

They must never find out
what really happened.

Understood? Ever.

That means there are now rules
we must both stick to.

We must never mention it to anyone.

We have to be able to
rely on each other 100 percent.

And I must know where you are
at all times.

Is that clear?

Yes.

Good.

What do we do now?

First of all, we must get rid of the car.

He definitely has something up there.

-Man, take a look at the guy!
-Hey, listen. I bet you 100 euros.

Just put on the glove
and he'll shit it out.

Hello!

Here comes the bag from Django.
Let's see what we have inside.

Alright, that's enough.

Look at me.

Look at me. I'm here.

Look at me. I'm here.

Doctor... tell me.
Believe me, it's better that way.

He has a complex neck vertebrae injury
with associated spinal cord swelling.

The impact also damaged arteries
that supply the brain.

Even if he wakes up from the coma,
there will probably be permanent damage.

I have various forms that
the patient's mother needs to fill in.

Thank you, doctor.

Many thanks.

Hi, Michael. Come in.

Have a seat!

Eva's getting Benni into bed.
I'm not sure who will win.

Do you want a drink?

No, no thanks.

So, what's up?

The car I came in...

-I need it gone.
-What do you mean, gone?

Well, just away.

Completely gone.

Okay...

Why?

Well, it's... I can't tell you.

I know it sounds ridiculous, but...

It's best you know as little as possible.

What's that supposed to mean?

-Eva.
-Hi, Michael.

Hello. How are you?

-A bit tired. How are you?
-Well. Pretty well.

-So, who won? Is he asleep?
-I won this round.

Let's see how long it lasts.

Hey, Benni!

Darling, what is it?

Mom...

Shall I read you another story? Okay.

So, again... What's up?

Forget it.

I'll manage. I'll be in touch. Okay?

Wait up.

You don't think I'll let you go like this?

And you won't tell me what's happened?

I know someone who can help us.

Then give me the number
and tell me what I must do.

No.

That's not how it works.
It only works through me.

Your mother says you're as good as Walli.

That true?

I need the car gone. Immediately.

-No major roads. That clear?
-Thanks for the advice.

-Don't mess with me.
-Sure. Relax, man.

I can do it.

The car is damaged.

Got it?

Hey! Are you listening?

Yes.

Good.

-Thank you.
-No problem.

If there's anything you need,
whatever it is,

let me know, I'll take care of it.

Eva mustn't find out.

Or I'll lose her, forever.

I promised her
not to do this shit anymore. You see?

Yes.

Michael...

Should I worry?

No.

It's all good now.

DELETE

Lt's go through everything again.

What happened yesterday?

I had my driving test at 09:30.
It took around an hour.

I failed for forgetting to indicate.

Then I took the bus home.

-That was around 11:00 or 11:30.
-11:30 sounds better. Then?

Then I was so frustrated
I didn't go to school, but went to bed.

Good. What about the car?

-I thought you had taken it.
-Very good.

What will you do when you get to school?

What I usually do.

Good.

Bring a liter of milk, okay?

-Hi, Emilia. How are you?
-My back hurts, but otherwise I'm okay.

-Do you have a moment?
-Yes. What's up?

The police got me out of bed
at the crack of dawn today.

What?

Why was that?

They said my car's been stolen.
Is that true?

Yes, I'm afraid it is true.
I was going to call you, but I forgot.

Well, it's all been sorted since.
It was much ado about nothing.

Well, it is annoying.
Julian was looking forward to it.

Now all the insurance stuff will start.

-Oh well, I'll deal with it.
-No, you don't understand.

They've found the car.

Michael?

You want the car to stink of fast food?

Idiot.

Glad you're here.

-Yes?
-What happened?

-He got caught. He's under arrest now.
-Shit!

-He mustn't talk, you hear?
-He won't.

Franz, the boy saw me, I'm sure of it.

The Zubers don't talk to the police.
Hell will freeze over first.

Believe me.

-Does he have a record?
-Yes. But nothing serious.

Maybe a few stolen car radios.

They'll put him
through the wringer anyway.

Okay. What do you want me to do?

Nothing for the moment.

The boy needs an attorney.
I'll take care of it.

Oh, and something else.
We stop using the phone.

Zlatan.

Whoever did this to you

will beg to be allowed to die.

The situation is still critical.

We have done everything we can.

Why is my brother alone here?

Why was no one with him?

We're constantly with your brother.

The data feed keeps us
continuously updated on his condition.

Why does he talk to me like I'm a child?

Who does he think he is?

He's just doing his job.

Thank you very much.

Calm down.

Your rage will not heal Zlatan.

I am calm.

Congratulations, it's a record.

We've never recovered
a stolen car this fast.

Say, the damage on the left side,
was that there before?

Great!

What's that?
I have to take it to the garage!

Your keys.

Michael, if you do take it,
can you send me the address?

-Just in case.
-Will do. In case of what?

Well, nothing. Just in case...
You never know.

-I'll be glad when it's done, believe me.
-Safe journey.

Lisa Schwarz.

Hello, Lisa. Michael here.
Have you decided what to do?

-No, the interview's in two weeks.
-Good, I have a client for you.

A difficult guy, but...

-He urgently needs your help.
-Why me?

Because you're the best.

It's a good start
on the path to district attorney.

If you want it, be quick,
or he'll be appointed a defense attorney.

-Okay.
-Think it over and call me.

Well...

Excuse me, aren't you the... the...

the judge, Dr. Jakobi?

-Yes.
-Really? You are?

Hello. Lindner's my name. Uli Lindner.

Ladies and gents, this man is
an example to us all, myself included.

He has moral courage.

Because he not only takes on the mafia,
but also puts them

where they belong, right?

So I just want to say thank you.
Thank you, Doctor.

-Thank you! I'm in a rush. Mr. Lindner...
-No problem. I won't keep you. But...

People like you, in this country,
are given too little respect.

Stick at it, Doctor.

No, I'm not kidding!

Julian saw it.

I gave him the finger.

He thought...

No joke!

Didn't you have your driving test?

Two days ago?

Yeah, I did.

And?

-I failed.
-Oh fuck.

I'm sorry.

What happened?

Hey... Julian?

Ballistics analysis shows that
both 9x19 mm bullets

were definitely fired in the building
by the Beretta 92A1.

The grooves illustrated here
are magnified 25 times.

JULIAN - MISSED CALLS (6)

In illustrations II and IIa,
you can see the marks are distinct.

Please compare these
with Illustrations 5 and 6b.

Ladies and gentlemen, please excuse me,

but I have to adjourn the hearing
for fifteen minutes.

-What did they want?
-I don't know. I left at once.

So we don't know
if they were there for you.

Why else would they be?

Listen, go home and wait for me there.
We'll talk later. I'll sort this out.

Bye, darling.

-Lindemann.
-Hello, Ms. Lindemann. Jakobi here.

I'm calling to excuse my son Julian.

He's not feeling well. I sent him home.

Sorry to hear it. I hope he's better soon.

Yes, thanks. Thank you.

Say... the police came to school today,
is that true?

Yes, yes.
Today was the drugs prevention course.

Ah, that's a relief.

It was the idea of our new director.

Ms. Lindemann, I have to go.
Okay? Thank you. Many thanks.

-Detective, what can I do for you?
-Hello, Michael.

Thanks. About the car again...
It's awkward, but I released it too soon.

Forensics want to take another look at it.
Right away.

Why's that?

Your car may have been in a crash.

-A crash? What crash?
-I'll explain later.

Okay?

I've sent officers to the courthouse.

Can you give them the keys?

Or did you take the car to the garage?

Hello?
