Mr Scoorpens?
Yes, that’s me.
I’m the person who called you for a quote.
For the broken car door?
Yes, that’s the one, my car is out on the car park.
Let’s have a look.
Look at that, what a shame it is. Such a nice little car.
And do you know what? It’s always the same ones.
They would be better staying back home and smashing their own cars, don’t you think?
You’re right! And you are not the only one...
Are you Mr Scoorpens?
Yeah.
Did you receive our second summons, Mr. Scoorpens?
Have you *** all else to do? You ***!
You are coming with us. We’re nicking you.
Why did you choose me to defend you?
You are the only lawyer that I know.
We know each other?
I repair your car.
Mr Bangelo says that you torched his car.
What is your version of the story?
The same.
The same?
I did torch the car of that ***.
You understand that in these circumstances...
It is difficult for me to defend you.
Of course, I hate ***.
How can I be sure that you won’t get stuck into me?
I gotta get out of here.
And what happened next?
Well, I told him to go and get his boss, that it wouldn’t do!
What did he reply?
He looked up and said “Bloody hell, what next?!”
Mr Bangelo, could you repeat what Mr. Scoorpens said to you?
Yes. He said, “Bloody hell, what next?!”
Thank you Mr Bangelo. And what happened next?
His boss came in and asked Mr. Scoorpens to move my car to the far end of the car park.
What did Mr Scoorpens reply?
He said that there was no way he would touch my car.
Thank you Mr. Bangelo. Your Honour, I have no further questions.
Thank you, Ms Cicarelli.
Mr Montalban, have you any questions for the victim?
Yes, of course, Your Honour.
I have a question for Mr Bange,- Bange- Bangelo. Mr Bangelo, sorry.
Could you tell me where Mr Scoorpens was when you went into the garage shop?
I already said that he was behind the counter.
Yes, of course. But what was he doing?
He didn’t look at me and continued talking on the phone for around five minutes.
Even when he put the receiver down he did not listen to me, he continued typing on the computer keyboard.
And so you told him to go and get his boss.
What did you say exactly?
I told him that if he didn’t move, I would get him sacked.
So to sum up: you enter the garage shop,...
you interrupt Mr Scoorpens when he is on the phone with a customer,...
you disturb him when he is inputting an order,...
and finally you threaten him with the sack!
No, what I mean is...
Yes, hang on. What’s more,...
while you are on holiday...
and the police ring you to tell you that your car has been torched
so you say to yourself: it’s the racist garage man who torched my car!
Yes, but what I mean is...
Your Honour,
I have no further questions.
Thank you Mr Montalban.
The court will adjourn, we will reconvene tomorrow at 3pm.
So?
I have to say that I am pretty impressed.
We are not doing so badly.
So what next?
How do you fancy having dinner at my house tonight?
to prepare for tomorrow?
At your house?
Absolutely.
Ok.
Well, then, that’s great...
I know... I know... you are going to tell me as usual...
that everyone has the right to a defence...
but I don’t understand!
Will you calm down?
Seriously!
I cannot understand how you can defend someone who has done that.
But this guy is not guilty, he is the victim.
Good evening Frederic!
Good evening Mr Montalban.
Please, do come in.
So...
Everything will be fine.
I'm not worrying.
Take this corkscrew, pour us some wine...
I’ll just go and see what she is up to.
It is a nice goal but they didn't deserve it!
They did'nt deserve it? What do you mean?...
Chelsea dominated but missed many opportunities...
No no no, I don't agree with you...
Good evening.
He’s rude, your neighbour!
Come on, forget it.
Hey! He said hello to you! You could answer to him!?...
Forget it...
Ms Van Boonen, what were you doing the night of the 7th September around 1am?
And what happened exactly?
Well, I couldn’t get to sleep and I was watching TV...
then I got up to have a smoke in the window.
That's when I saw someone get to the car, break a window...
Then he poured petrol inside the car.
And the car took fire.
I called immediately the police.
This means that you got a clear view of the person who torched the car?
Ms Van Boonen, could you point out this person, please?
It’s that man there.
Thank you Madam.
Your Honour, I have no further questions.
Mr Montalban?
Yes, of course.
Ms Van Boonen, is it correct that you have witnessed two vandalism cases...
that took place 20 metres away from your window?
Yes...
Ms Van Boonen, is it correct that in each case...
you were unable to establish an identikit picture of the alleged vandals?
Yes but...
Ms Van Boonen. Your window is exactly at the same distance from the car that was torched.
How is it possible that you have been able to make such an exact identikit image this time?
Ms Van Boonen? I’m listening to you.
Explain to me how you have been able to make such an exact identikit image this time?
I don’t know...
Your Honour. I have no further questions.
Thank you very much.
The verdict will be announced in a week’s time.
The court is adjourned.
Ah, Frederic! We’ve made it!
I believe we have made it. We’ve got them.
It’s not been easy but it went well in the end.
Good!
You did well.
Did you see how lost the witnesses were and didn't know what to do?
Stuck there?
It was really well done.
And you were especially good!
That's how it's done!
When will you shut up?
You stupid black jerk!
