Law & Order: UK - Series Two - Community Service
The cream of British acting talent are back together for the second series of the hugely successful 'Law & Order: UK'.
Employing the original series' iconic two-part structure that focuses first on the investigation of a crime at the police level and then shifts in its second half to the prosecution of the suspects, 'Law & Order: UK' approaches the format and characters from a uniquely English perspective.
Series Two : Episode Three : Community Service
Monday, 25 January 2010 9:00pm - 10:00pm ITV1 / ITV1 HD
A model citizen defends himself against a mentally ill drifter and the law becomes
a minefield for the officers trying to enforce it... Kirk is bi-polar and lives
in a campervan on a well-cared-for residential square. He's not really welcome
there and taunts the residents with his presence. So, when Kirk is found
brutally beaten, detectives Ronnie Brooks and Matt Devlin discover their list
of suspects is long.
The locals close ranks, though, unprepared to give up the person who did what so
many of them wanted to do. That's until the police arrest the wrong man... The
courage of his convictions desert him and he sets Brooks and Devlin on to
architect Harry Morgan (Kevin R McNally - Pirates of the Caribbean).
Morgan's son preferred Kirk to his family and Morgan didn't like that. He's
charged with causing grievous bodily harm (GBH) but claims he hit Kirk in
self-defence. Prosecutor James Steel has problems with that story, though,
because Morgan took an iron bar with him when he went to see Kirk. If he'd
taken a six-pack, the court might believe he went in peace, but an iron bar...
James's assistant, Alesha, is sure the jury will have sympathy with concerned
father Morgan, not trouble-making Kirk. But James does not want a vigilante
getting a pat on the back in his court...
