Closed Circuit Page #3

---

and from you

in the interests of

national security.

What evidence?

I don't know yet, I haven't

been given it, but when I am,

I need to understand

as much as I can about you

and why you say

you're innocent.

The secret evidence will be

assessed in closed session.

The courtroom will be locked,

and there will be just myself,

the judge, the prosecutor and a

representative of the security services.

I bet you all know

each other.

(SCOFFS)

I'm on your side.

It's my job to

convince the judge

that you need to see

the secret evidence.

But I can't do that on my own.

I need your help.

Where are you getting

the heroin, Farroukh?

Prison heroin is very impure,

that's why you're throwing up.

You should ask to be put on

their dependency program.

In Berlin,

you were arrested for

possession of heroin,

but you were released.

Why did they release you

without a custodial sentence?

I didn't stick around.

I got on a plane.

But how did you

get leave to remain

if you had a conviction

for possession?

May I ask you again?

How did you get leave to remain

if you had a conviction?

I don't need

a whatever-the-f***-you-are.

I need

a f***ing doctor. Okay?

I wonder if Mr. Erdogan

is a little tired.

It's a long day for a man

in a place like this.

Then they

sent me back and said,

"No. Now you have to

take off your shoes."

And I mean, I'm wearing

stilettos, right?

What, do I have tiny,

little explosives?

You should try

being Asian.

I get stopped and searched

every couple of weeks.

I wouldn't say no.

Handsome, young policeman?

(ALL LAUGHING)

Martin.

You never come.

Are you drunk?

Not yet.

(CLEARS THROAT)

Does everyone know

Martin Rose?

Can I sit between two people

who hate each other?

I like to come as a relief. Yeah,

you can sit next to me if you like.

But I should warn you, I'm just

a boring, old civil servant.

Oh, that's hardly

fair, Melissa.

The work of the Department of

Transport is vital to the nation.

You're doing me no favors.

What else can I say?

Traffic flow projections.

Flexible approaches to variable

speed limits during peak hours...

I think

we can stop there.

You see, Mr. Rose,

I'm as good as my word.

Martin, may I

introduce Joanna?

Hello, Joanna.

I'm going through a vicious

divorce at the moment

and will soon be

penniless, so,

from your point of view,

what would be the point?

Joanna, he's famously awful.

(DOOR CLOSES)

Hi. Just getting some air.

You're defending one of

the Borough Market bombers

at the Old Bailey.

Yes.

And you're a journalist.

In fact, you're Joanna Reece.

Thirty-two.

Deputy Bureau Chief

on the London desk of

The New York Times.

You called Simon Fellowes seven

times on his office number.

Three times at home.

He obeyed the rules

and filed a report.

You also left your card on my

windscreen at his funeral.

Sort of distasteful

thing to do, if you ask me.

Anyway, you hoped I'd make

contact, which I didn't.

So you cooked things up

with a mutual acquaintance

and came here tonight, in the

hope that I might get drunk

and you and I

could have a nice

off-the-record

chat about the case.

I don't speak to journalists

at the best of times,

especially not about trials

relating to matters

of national security.

No matter how drunk.

If you knew that I was

here, why did you come?

Curiosity.

I want to know

what your angle is.

Well,

are you sure Simon Fellowes'

death was a suicide?

Middle Temple.

CLAUDIA:
...I will be told

some secret evidence.

If I'm going to challenge that,

I need to know everything.

If your dad is convicted, he will spend

the rest of his life in prison...

Actually,

I'll jump out here.

MARTIN:
Devlin.

I just hailed the same

cab twice in one night.

In fact, three times

in the last two days.

Different part of town.

Different driver. Same cab.

How do you know

it was the same one?

Because I remember the

license number. 4-2-1-9-1.

Devlin, for some reason,

we're being managed.

DEVLIN:
You wanna look at the

forensic report on the car,

or have you

memorized it already?

Memorized it.

TATP on the upholstery

on the front passenger seat,

the rear seat

and the boot as well.

May I remind you

that the client

has already determined

his line of defense.

And Simon Fellowes was gonna

follow that line, was he?

That Erdogan gave Asif a lift

from the airport to the station,

and the TATP on

the seats came from Asif?

If I was that stupid, I would

jump off a roof myself.

Oh, you're such

a heartless f***er.

But, actually, I don't think

Simon was that stupid.

I think he was

on to something.

I think he picked up

on the same thing I did.

Which is?

That it's a very,

very expensive car.

Where did they

find this car?

Chinatown.

Jade Temple restaurant.

Newport Street.

Excellent. Then I'll

go there for dinner.

Want something to drink?

Just a water, thanks.

Self-selection. You must be

Erdogan's heroin dealer.

I know Mr. Erdogan came here because

his car was found clamped outside.

I already spoke to the police.

I'm not a policeman.

I just have some simple questions

for you with one word answers.

20 pounds a word.

When he bought heroin,

was it pure or cut?

Pure.

He asked you the same questions

I just did, correct?

(BOTTLE CLINKING)

(BOTTLE OPENS)

Morning, Claudia.

All set?

Oh, I'm supposed

to blindfold you.

Do you want to do that?

This room is bugged.

Not like you

to be suspicious.

I'm just saying.

It's routine around here.

Confidential conversations are

transcribed and filed away.

Better be careful

what I say, then.

Yeah, or at least

speak clearly.

For the sake

of the typist.

NAZRUL:
The existence

of these premises

is covered by

the Official Secrets Act.

Any attempt to disclose

the existence or location

hereof will result

in prosecution.

Be gentle. She's fragile,

and he's a very sensitive boy.

Mrs. Erdogan, I'd like to

ask you some questions.

(RECORDER BEEPS)

(SPEAKING IN TURKISH)

MARTIN:
Farroukh...

Why did you come back to London

from Berlin in March 2009?

She says she don't

know why he came back.

Can you ask her if he ever talked

about his time in Germany?

I just found myself

on a plane.

I was out of my head

most of the time so...

How often did he attend

the Lime Street mosque?

I don't know where he went.

Would you please

ask your mother?

(SPEAKING IN TURKISH)

(MOTHER REPLIES IN TURKISH)

She don't know.

I don't know how

often I called Asif.

I called him all the

time to get the rent.

He was always late with the rent.

That's why I called him.

But I've told all of this

to the queer guy before you.

Emir... (SIGHS)

Would you please

tell your mother

that I'm on her

husband's side.

When I go into the court, I will

be told some secret evidence.

If I'm going to challenge that,

I need to know everything.

If your dad is convicted, he will

spend the rest of his life in prison.

I used to do that.

What?

Play Medal of Honor?
