:28:00
Davidson!
:28:02
An American legal student
wants to see me for a moment.
:28:05
- What time is Sir John due?
- 1 2.30, sir.
:28:08
Right.
:28:18
Come in!
:28:21
- Hi.
- How very nice to see you.
:28:23
Am I interrupting?
:28:25
Absolutely not.
:28:26
Really?
:28:27
Really. Delighted to see you.
:28:29
Hello.
:28:33
So.
:28:35
This is the place.
:28:36
- This is it.
- Very nice.
:28:39
I was at the courts this morning.
It's fascinating!
:28:42
Really, so much to know,
:28:44
Everybody wears these. Do you?
:28:46
Oh, ridiculous!
:28:51
Well, erm
:28:52
I only have a few minutes. Sorry.
:28:54
I'm sorry.
:28:55
But until then,
I'm all yours, as they say.
:28:58
I just have a couple of questions.
:29:01
I'm having a little problem
:29:03
understanding
preliminary criminal procedures.
:29:07
What exactly is the committal?
:29:09
Ah. Interesting.
:29:11
Basically,
it's a preliminary investigation
:29:14
where the prosecution
presents evidence
:29:17
that the accused has a case to answer.
:29:19
That's what it says in the book.
:29:21
Let's take, for example,
my friend George Thomason.
:29:24
Right.
:29:25
- His committal is on Wednesday...
- Thomason?
:29:29
Yes.
:29:30
George Thomason?
:29:32
Yes. Do you know him?
:29:35
I'm defending him.
:29:37
What are you talking about?
:29:39
I'm his barrister, his lawyer.
:29:42
That's so great!
:29:45
That's so weird, isn't that weird?
:29:47
Oh, I'm so happy you're defending him!
:29:50
Thank you.
:29:52
He's sure to get off now.
:29:54
Wow!
:29:56
I can watch you work now!
:29:58
Please.
