Episode 1 • Sep 26, 2007
Ghosts
Ben Graham and Alisha Cole are successful personal injury lawyers. When Ben sees a half-naked man forced into a vehicle and subsequently into a flat across the street, he does the right thing and calls the police. They seem little interested and the reason is simple: it's the police who are holding and interrogating a suspected terrorist outside of the law. Despite their best efforts, there is a clear and consistent attempt to muzzle them. Ben is arrested, his previously handling of a personal injury lawsuit is leaked to the press in an effort to tarnish his reputation and eventually, his law firm suspends him. They realize that if they are going to succeed, they will need to gather irrefutable proof.
Episode 2 • Oct 03, 2007
Pandemic
Ben Graham and Alisha Cole have now set themselves up in private practice, but business is quite slow. With a new outbreak of the corona x virus, they suspect that a pharmaceutical firm is trying to create panic in order to sell a possible vaccine. What they don't realize is that the company imported the virus accidentally when an employee was exposed to the disease and then transferred to England. The lawyers try to convince a company scientist, Professor Lewington, to go public.
Episode 3 • Oct 10, 2007
No Child Left Behind
Alisha and Ben are approached by a teacher who claims that a teenage student's recent suicide can be traced to a lack of discipline at the school. Turns out that the teacher was being less than honest and was being paid to tarnish the school's reputation. The man behind the campaign seems to be David Durrell, a promoter of private academies that spends nothing on special needs children allowing them to pocket government subsidies.
Episode 4 • Oct 17, 2007
Fit for Purpose
Alisha and Ben are approached by an immigration officer, Sarah Kendrick, who believes that something is amiss with the entry of Turkish nationals to the UK. Sarah sent and e-mail to her superior addressing her concerns but it was ignored. She believes that some immigration officers are on the take. As the lawyers look into the matter, they quickly conclude that there is a connection between Turkish mobsters and illegal migration and they suggest that Sarah go public. When she does so however, she finds herself suspended and before a disciplinary tribunal.
Episode 5 • Oct 24, 2007
Starters
Alisha and Ben are approached by Alan Thorpe, a Member of Parliament and chairman of a Parliamentary select committee on alcohol marketing. His target is Griffin Distillers who he is convinced is deliberately marketing alcoholic beverage to 11-15 year olds. They are reticent to work for a politician but are swayed by Thorpe's sincerity and his own admission that he was once an alcoholic. As they look into the case, they learn that a rehabilitation center for underage alcoholics is funded by Griffin and that they are using reports from the center to shape their ad campaigns. They also come across Chris Clayson whose work for Griffin is to run interference with anyone who might impede the sales of their products. When he realizes that his 13 year-old daughter is drinking, Clayson begins to have a change of heart which is good given that Ben and Alisha's misgivings about working for a politician were well-founded.
Episode 6 • Oct 31, 2007
Environment
Ben and Alisha receive an anonymous tip that a major waste disposal firm may be breaking environmental laws. The firm, Brucks, specializes in incinerating waste but they may be dumping the ash inappropriately and releasing toxic waste into the atmosphere. The case becomes particularly difficult when Alisha's father uses insider information to buy shares in Brucks and deposited some of the profits in her name. The government has little choice but to support Brucks given that landfill is no longer a reasonable option and it is the major incineration firm in the country. Ben and Alisha finds themselves arrested when they disobey a court injunction to stay away from the company.
