- So you can't say where it was from.
- I was told.
- You were told? Sorry, sorry, sorry. You were told?
When things go wrong, this is how they go wrong.
- I'm sorry?
- This prosecution, these police officers, you.
- What are you all saying?
- We've found our man, now let's make the evidence fit.
Well, that is the wrong way round and this is how miscarriages of justice happen.
It should be "- look at the evidence
- and see who fits it. "
- Is this a speech?
- It's a description of everything that's wrong with the prosecution and police culture in this country.
- Just put your case, Miss Costello.
- You can't be sure it was a 9mm pistol because you need the cartridge for that.
The striations caused by its journey down the barrel of the gun tell you what the weapon was.
So you can't say what this type of gun was,
and anyway, you don't know how rare a 9mm pistol is in the UK
because your statistical database is too narrow.
-And that was all performance.
Ask the question, sit down before it can be answered
and then the question becomes the answer.
It's a dishonest technique.
What I should have said is that Miss Costello is doing her job,
which, unless she believes everything her clients tell her,
means her working life is one big performance.




Jamming a square peg in a round hole.

I knew I was a grown-up from the age of about five,
because I thought all other children were wasting their time - being children.
That's the thing about the Catholic faith.
Teaches you to take life seriously.
You pay attention.
My fifth birthday. I'm trying to find the courage to dive in.
I remember it as if it was yesterday.
It's the last moment in my life
before I started to think about death.
Everybody goes, Billy.
There are three things that matter.
The manner of your going.
What you leave behind.
And where you're going afterwards.






48'
You lose your heart to every case you take, don't you?
Passion, conviction, fearlessness.
All of them admirable qualities,
and all of them qualities shared by DCI Fitzpatrick.
- He's... - The other side of the same coin.
- No. - You only see what you need to see.
Look at the jacket.
- What?
- The blood on the sleeve means Sean's guilty, doesn't it?
Fitzpatrick wins, you lose.
The blood on the right sleeve.
The wound behind the left ear.
The killer's left-handed. Sean isn't.
You win.
- I didn't think... - No, you didn't.
You lost a game you could have won.
- Game? - And there's another game to play tomorrow
and, like all games, it's about winning and losing,
and that means everyone in it is corrupted.
After years a lawyer...
..Finally...
..At the death...
I've stopped playing the game and I told the truth.
I can't tell you how good that feels.
- What are you saying?
- I'm telling you.
Begging you.
Walk away.
No. Run.
Run for your life.
Martha.

EP03 Things don't add up
3季应当合并为一个整体来看，1季着重一个律师的成长，2季着重一个律师的职业技能，3季着重一个律师的职业操守和爱情，这个律师当然是MC。

这一集非常丰富，从PTSD，到天主教义，到伟大的母爱，这种“剥洋葱”式的故事讲述，最终能把故事圆满了，不容易。

1'28 day's already been seized, strip-searched and sentenced.

4'21 I always thought you were a great loss to Parliament, Billy.
I can just see you whipping the backbenchers into voting for some illegal war without them ever quite knowing what they were voting for.

4'40 She's a cross between Mother Teresa, Martin Luther King and a small Rottweiler.

5'12 You have lots in common, you and Elizabeth.
Brave, strong...
- Pale. - Pale.
- Surrounded by men. - Surrounded by men.
Saying no to all of them.

6'10 You can argue about an individual's right to die, but not putting murder on the indictment here would send a huge message. It could open the floodgates to anyone who wants to...finish off a burdensome relative.We, the law,can't allow that to happen.

6'30
"Tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow
creeps in this petty pace from day to day
to the last syllable of recorded time.
And all our yesterdays
have lighted fools the way to dusty death.
Out, out, brief candle."

While none of us can be anything but profoundly moved by the tragedy of the situation that Joanna Stephens found herself in,or by the desperately hard situation that Sarah Stephens faced...no-one,has the right...to play God.

adjusting to her new circumstances.

I take instructions from my client,
whereas you take instructions from a supernatural entity
that can't be cross-examined,
but whose wisdom you ask us to take as read?

Don't ever do what I'm about to.

EP02 U don't Know Football

Jordan成了英格兰足球史上一个出柜的运动员 虽然是在电视剧里 而且只是对自己的律师

Martha这一回第一次表现出比较感性的态度 询问client究竟怎么辩论 Clive和Martha末尾的drama 也印证了Martha对于client的态度

（27‘）实际上这一集讲work and family多一点 上一回Bill的医师讲到他会哭得多一点 这一回就哭了两次 You'll be there forever. 是大家对他的认可 也或许就是他自己对Shoe Lane的态度

Ps. Jack吃的是什么 （¯﹃¯）看起来就好好吃





EP01 Leave Me Alone

一部剧能够成功不仅需要情节的推进 主角的表现 台词的雕琢 很大程度上需要配角的支撑 比如这一集的CW 本来没什么表演（32‘）但是白色窗帷吹拂着 她put the exact date when she lost her chance for motherhood 作为QC 还需要怎么样的drama 怎样的表演呢？

和韩剧相比 英剧真是太简练了 不需要街拍一样的秀服装 每一帧都在推动情节 （48’）比如Ruby看着Shoe Lane 而Marsha从反方向走过来 被告知David losing himself的事实 而dad又恰巧走过来 不难猜测Rudy需要怎样的勇气来告诉他这个残酷的事实 哎……

副线Billy的情节也很灵动 真是内容丰富！

Ps （7‘）我真以为他们会在法庭上做爱呢

声明：毫无法学基础，不对以下言论负任何责任。不过欢迎评论指出任何错误的地方。

silk这一季隔太久，我都忘了上一集在讲什么。这一季的中心很明显了——在最后十五分钟，托米奇之口——不管是警察还是律师都太迫于让自己所相信的观点被认可，真相反而被掩盖；整个法律体系在输与赢得争斗中失去其原本的意义，最好赶快逃出去。

尚有余温的legal high试图告诉我们，律师并不是侦探，律师的职责不是所谓追求真相，而是帮助委托人赢得胜利；而本剧则反思律师们是不是太在意输赢，反而忽视了最重要的”真相“？这样看来，也许是有趣的平衡。

让我们假设，宇宙中存在某种至高无上的神智（或者某种高度发达的文明所建立的律法条例，对于无神论的同学们），可以精准巧妙又恰如其分地为每一件事做出”正直“的判断。那么，有了这份”绝对正确的判定“，我们人类的任务就是无限接近它：

首先，承认人的智能是无法达到这个高度的，因此我们编造出”法则“，让规则来代替”人心“，提供更可靠、恒定、强壮的结论；
然后，条例无法自动执行（也许某种高等文明发明了”判例机“可以LOL），因此我们需要人来解释条例以匹配千千万万情况各异的事件；
再然后，对于不同人的解释我们需要有一个判定，鉴于没有任何个体能够确保完全的正确，那么我们交由一个群体来做出判断；
最后，对于整个”法则系统“的运行，要有一个人得以从近似管理员但实际不干预结果的偏向性（而不是不干预结果）来确保这套系统的正确运转。

于是我们有了（各种律政剧里看到的）法律体系。

那么就很清楚了：不管是追求输赢还是追求正义，律师们和警察们一起在努力，从两个方向出发、利用平衡巧妙地接近所谓”绝对真理“。那么不管是李狗嗨还是丝绸，所提倡的结果是一样的：让”人们“更了解这个系统是如何工作的，从而保证这一体系的正确运行。对于追求输赢的，努力跳脱出判定输赢的规则，尝试以真相而不是判决书判定正义是否得到伸张；对于追求正义的，也记着并不是自己——而是包含了自己的整个系统——的努力，才让真相得以获得最妥善的对待。

如果是这样，我还能说服自己为什么你国的法律体系选择了由法官而不是陪审团作出判决：那些口口声声喊着”人民“的人，他们其实清楚地知道，我们的”人民“还远不够资格为自己、为他人做出判定。（不服气吗？翻出你的租房合同，看看它包含了你实际遇到的情况的百分之多少？）
Our people is not prepared to be LAW MEN.（硬拗英语何苦嘞……）

当然我也仅仅是猜测。整个宇宙有着漫长的过去以及总有终结的未来，也许并不在意中间某个渺小星球上转瞬即逝的文明罢了。所谓“绝对正义”，也不过是因为相信“总有方法让人们更好地活下去“而成立的。

但你总要相信点什么，不是吗。

Accidentally read a review on Silk. It mentions that the justice procedure of the Law of England & Wales is a procedure based on the theory of truth agnosticism, which means it despises the pursuit of the truth. Thus neither of the prosecution and the defence can regard themselves as equalling to the justice itself. What they perform is just to protect their clients' interests. This is the ultimate justice the law can grant to the beings to protect themselves. That is, innocent until proven guilty.

However, this arouses a controversial debate on barristers' ethical duty. Theoretically, a barrister owes duty of not misleading the court. This duty comes first When they represent their clients to seek for a justice conviction. Therefore a barrister is not allowed to represent the client if he or she has the knowledge of the crime commitment made by the client. Otherwise it will amount to contempt of court. What the barrister can only do in such a situation is to cease the representation relationship to protect the justice of the court. Nonetheless, since the law practice industry is the derivative of current economic demand, most lawyers, usually intend to represent clients and maximise the clients' interests by shunning the truth deliberately. This is the formation of grey area.

Back to the series. Season Three explores what the lawyer and the justice system can do when confronting the truth and humanity. Martha Cestello is built to be a figure of justice. This justice more likely represents the sympathy to the weak side, rather than the pursuit of truth. Just like Martha says the justice (for her) aims to providing best defence for the client. She is always doing her job based on a barrister's intuition and her obsession of the truth. But such a basement could be voidable. The case of extradition proves the voidability of the powerless intuition on her not guilty assumption made to the kid who seems innocent when facing an incontrovertible evidence. Another case is about Martha's ex. When she finds out the name list, she is totally convinced that her ex is the murderer and neglects the most obvious evidence that the murderer is left-hand, but Shawn is not. Because her belief has been a little bit conflicted by the extradition case at that time. It is easily to see her emotional struggling here since she has assured the 'truth' that Shawn is the murderer. But she chooses to represent him continuously even this is an obey to both her belief and the enforced obligation posed on a barrister. At the end of season 3, Micky Joy crushes out the truth, but the court gives the direction of not adopting Joy's testimony since it does not comply with the juridical procedures. This is so ironic. When the trial is finished, Martha has completely lost and asked: who am I.

In the end, Martha's disappearance and Billy's cancer seem to be a metaphor that being symbolic for an era curtain that belief of justice is no longer exist in a contemporary law practice. Clive gets the chairman position only because he can ensure the case amount for Shoe Lane, which turns out that the value of justice has become the value of lawyer fee.

English series are so ironic.

Billy让人想起老一辈在对待事业、工作和朋友的方式，有侠义也有暗箱操作，坚强不可摧的外在包裹着一颗铁胆忠心，虽然在时代的潮流下，逐渐被淘汰，换上Harriet这种事事均可与目标利益挂钩的高效运营。不能说谁的做法更好，但剧中明显偏向塑造Billy的高大形象，从而反映出英国人对旧时代和传统的怀念，希望有过去的情怀，可是又被迫面对冷漠的现在，那种复杂的感情是每一个人面对时代交替、甚或年龄渐长时都会有心态，诠释得非常好！

其实我也是Billy的脑残粉，呵呵，原因是忽然看到某些他的举动让我想起老爸，比如即使有很大的苦衷却不愿意与家人分享而独自承担；为你做一件事不论过程有多复杂困难，最终只给你一个圆满的结果；以及几十年来为数不多的一两次看到他的无助……这一切一切让我非常感同身受。

或许一个法律外行看这个剧只能感受到皮毛，但人性本来就是终极哲学，不论哪个行业都有对良心的拷问，只是法庭上、案件中所揭露的人性可能更加直接，因此一直也对多了解一点法律的相关很感兴趣。
