A soon to be unemployed/unemployable lawyer.

A story about fucking?

A woman's life is at stake!

Absolutely, sir.

According to those stipulations.

Actress, Downton Abbey, knows the princess.

Advance! Advance! Advance!

Agent Callett, this is Mr Flynn.

Ah! Mr Callett. Noel, from Blue Eye.

ALL GROAN

All right, about six months.

All right, night.

All right, now, you thought the carpet was bad, have a look at this.

All right.

Also, "sometimes".

Am I Jodie's father?

And a short piece on the historical symbolism of the pig.

And actually he wasn't completely hideous,

And big ones.

And everyone!

And Gina agrees.

And has a princess.

And how am I looking at you now, Liam?

And I didn't even know you back then, so...

And I don't like him, not like that, not now.

And I guess we forgot, but now we've remembered, so...

And I just want you to know that this isn't a witch hunt for the deadwood.

And I suddenly realised that the less the relationship means

And I'd find myself, you know, watching redos of, like,

And I'm downstairs watching some redo

And I'm downstairs watching some redo of some night

And I'm fucking pulling myself off. I mean, seriously?

And I'm fucking pulling myself off. I'm just saying.

And I'm sat downstairs watching redos of, like, some hot times

And if they don't find her?

And Jeff.

And Jonas...

And morally?

And MSNBC, Al Jazeera, NHK...

And satellite,

And the closest I can get is a postcode.

And the longer it goes on, the more you're, "Oh, yeah, we loved it!",

And then I arrived and... you clam.

And then just kind of, liked it.

And then previous boyfriends come up.

And we are.

And what is it?

And when he protected me from those arseholes,

And you know what, I think he probably did fancy me

And you're going to select it all and you're going to wipe it!

And your office could be at the centre for ...

Answer this.

Anyone would say, "That's not funny."

Anyway, we also know it was uploaded at 3:16 AM.

Appraisal.

Are they? Shit!

Are you embarrassed by that?

Are you getting this?

Are you?

Armed police!

Armed police! Lay down on the floor! Lay down on the floor!

At midnight.

BABY'S TOYS TINKLE

Be rude not to give her a kiss beforehand.

Because, I mean, God knows you need something to fucking talk about!

BEEPING

BEEPING STOPS

Before we started up the Kings.

Before you proceed.

Bit of a dick?

BLEEP

Bloody hell, I thought you were supposed to be cool, man.

Board's been prised away. That's where they got in.

Bobby sues Mum and Dad for insufficient attention

Boo!

Brief mention of the ransom being "a sex act". Nothing too gross.

Brilliant. Brilliant.

Brown or green?

But also, cream floats.

But her finger?

But I have to ask you this ... they're not going to hit anything

But it's been on for nearly an hour.

But it's not "England expects".

But it's on side?

But moments later, you're so stiff.

But on the plus of that, I don't remember it that clearly.

But we've got the babysitter inside, so...

But what... ? Who... ?

But you dated him for a month?

But you had security on her?

But you never mentioned Jonas.

But you're still pally.

But...

Hang on.

Have a cool time.

Have you got a crew with you?

He fucks you, gets footage for his redo wank file,

HE GASPS

He had little creepy beady eyes and he was always...

He had some.

He knew everyone would be elsewhere

He looks forward to seeing you again, that's good.

He probably sits there and tosses himself

He was never a boyfriend, he was always a weird week.

He's a bit of a knob, ain't he?

He's an old fling. So what? Don't go all fucked up!

He's doing it!

He's got to do it.

He's one of the old crowd.

HEAVY BREATHING FROM SCREEN

Heavy sedative, close range, each with a single puncture wound.

Hello, police, I'm witnessing a serious assault at five...

Hello, stinky!

Hello?

Hello.

Her car was intercepted shortly after midnight,

HER GIGGLING PLAYS OVER THE MEMORY

Here I go.

Hey, hey!

Hey, there's just, you know, use anything. There's T shirts and...

Hey!

Hey.

Hey. Seriously, man, it's not cool you just walking in like this.

Hi.

Hi... Hi again.

HIGH PITCHED TONE

Hot times in earlier relationships!

How do we describe it? "An indecent act"?

How long did you go out with him for?

How many people?

How'd it go?

How's Her Majesty taking it?

However it's done, I don't care. We stop this now.

However, the incident failed to destroy a Prime Minister,

HP84TD, a college or something. They should be there by now.

I always liked that picture, didn't you?

I believe it's huge with hookers.

I believed it worth considering.

I can not laugh

I can't...

I considered it necessary...

I couldn't do it.

I deleted it.

I did, I told you I hooked up with someone in Marrakech.

I didn't mean that.

I didn't say anything.

I don't blame you. I would have.

I don't know, a re do...

I don't know, a redo of the side of his fridge.

I don't know, yeah?

I don't know.

I don't really want to get involved.

I don't want to see our first time right now.

I don't want you worrying.

I downplayed it. I fudged it, it was...

I guarantee you... utterly destroyed.

I had a back up plan.

I have the bed made up in my office.

I have to find it.

I haven't met him before, have I? Jonas, is it?

I just think we just really fancied each other and that was what it was.

I just want to come in for a bit, dude.

I know people.

I know you do.

I like him.

I liked him then.

I love you.

I made him.

I mean Liam's obviously uncomfortable,

I mean, because more people are...

I mean, no offence!

I mean, now, right? Like, going Grainless?

I mean, still, by the end, I'd be like, "Go on, honey, you go up,"

I mean, three days, that's admirable, but four days?

I mean, we all scroll through the Grain

I mean, you must have been gagging.

I need to see it, Fi.

I never liked it. Thought it was pretentious shit.

I pay good money to have perfect details.

I ran a nationwide traceback on uninterrupted one way uploads

I tell you what you're going to do.

I think I said.

I think it's an interesting choice, going grainless.

I think you should go.

I thought it was untraceable.

I thought Mr Marrakech was some sort of super cool...

I thought you were meant to be fucking brilliant.

I want you to leave

I wanted it to go away, I wiped the whole thing.

I was just wondering because you found it funny, but it isn't,

I was so upset.

I won't have to do anything.

I work in recruitment, so it might be quite useful for you.

I'd find myself watching redos of really hot times

I'd like you to erase that.

I'd say bullshit.

I'll be right down.

I'm a serial monogamist.

I'm advising for. They go in now. They go in now.

I'm doing it.

I'm exploring contingency plans.

I'm friendly when I drink. Very friendly when I'm grateful.

I'm fucking joking again, Jonas!

I'm joking, Jonas.

I'm just getting Gina's opinion on something.

I'm just happier now.

I'm just saying, there's a beautiful woman upstairs,

I'm not being funny, right, but look at that.

I'm not stupid.

I'm not.

I'm pretty trad... bish, bash, bosh. In, out.

I'm so sorry, he's really hungover.

I'm so sorry, I can't say anything else.

I'm sorry, but I...

I'm sorry, but, Christ, are you not embarrassed?

I'm sorry, but...

I'm sorry, Fi, I know I go a bit weird and wonky sometimes.

I'm sorry, Michael. It's out of your hands.

I'm sorry, Michael...

I'm sorry.

I'm staying faithful to my corn flakes right now.

I'm staying faithful to my cornflakes right now!

I'm Susannah

I'm the difference. He's the greatest guy in the world

I've got a back up plan, so...

I've made arrangements for the broadcast.

I've mentioned this to everyone about their appraisals,

I've picked up somebody else and...

I've, er, been cooking a lot since the break up.

If he kills her, there's no blood on your hands. Bottom line.

If it's terrorists, they'll take her head off.

If she isn't, he'll kill her and upload the video.

If there are hacks sniffing around, shut them down, bright, red, D Notice.

If this doesn't work...

If Walker's team fuck up, I'm not saying they will, but if they do,

If we mention bestiality Ofcom would be pissed off.

If you really don't want to come, you can get rid of him.

If you rush, it might be misinterpreted as eagerness

It came from somewhere in there.

It could be fun, we could, um...

It has to.

It is much more of a...

It may be a sportsman like gesture but we are making it.

It seems he let her go 30 minutes before it happened.

It shouldn't have happened.

It was a stupid thing...

It was good to meet you, man.

It was just a little thing

It was obvious I didn't want him to come, I was being polite to a moron.

It was obvious I didn't want him to come.

It was over quicker than I thought.

It was uploaded via an encrypted IP an hour ago.

It was years ago and...

It was years ago!

It was years ago.

It was...

It was... Christ, you know how it is when you first get with someone

It wasn't a collective "you". It was a singular "you", ie me.

It won't come to that.

It'll be a criminal of fence to store any recording or images of the event

It's a brave choice

It's a brave choice.

It's a decoy.

It's a kick bollock scramble, but with finessing it should be OK.

It's a new one for me, obviously. I wouldn't normally... You know.

It's already happening in their heads.

It's already outside it.

It's always better when it turns out to be true.

It's been empty since.

It's been too long, too long.

It's cool.

It's history, this.

It's just a silly game.

It's just a skeleton crew inside.

It's on the list.

It's phoney.

It's probably the start of the swastika, they were such pricks!

It's real.

It's sedated?

It's still on there, is it?

It's the Queen herself.

It's time to go in now.

It's trending on Twitter.

It's why I bought it for you.

Black Mirror - Season 1
Black Mirror is a groundbreaking television series that first premiered in 2011, stunning viewers with its thought-provoking and often dystopian take on the intersection of technology and society. Created by Charlie Brooker, each episode of Black Mirror delves into a different story, exploring the dark consequences of our relentless reliance on technology. In Season 1, which released in 2011, three gripping episodes captivate audiences through their chilling narratives. The first episode, "The National Anthem," revolves around a twisted premise where the British Prime Minister, played by Rory Kinnear, is confronted with a horrifying dilemma. A member of the royal family has been kidnapped, and the only way to secure their release is for the Prime Minister to perform an obscene act on live television. This episode sets the tone for the series by immediately plunging viewers into an unsettling reflection of society's obsession with voyeurism and the moral quandaries arising from it. The second episode, "Fifteen Million Merits," introduces us to a dystopian future where people are trapped in a soul-crushing cycle of entertainment and consumerism. Daniel Kaluuya portrays Bing, a disenchanted individual who spends his days pedaling on a stationary bike to earn merits, a currency used within this bleak society. When Bing encounters Abi (Jessica Brown Findlay), a talented singer, he becomes determined to help her escape the oppressive system. This episode serves as a dark critique of reality TV, capitalist culture, and the commodification of human lives. Finally, the season concludes with "The Entire History of You," featuring Toby Kebbell as Liam. In this futuristic world, people have the ability to record every single moment of their lives through a small implant known as the Grain. Paranoid and increasingly suspicious about his wife's (Jodie Whittaker) fidelity, Liam becomes obsessed with rewatching their memories. As he delves deeper into this rabbit hole, the lines between reality and obsession blur, leading to a devastating climax that forces us to question the implications of being able to recall every memory. What makes Black Mirror so compelling is its ability to hold up a mirror to our own society. By extrapolating the potential consequences of advancements in technology, the show prompts us to reflect on our own behaviors and examine the ethical dilemmas we may face in the near future. It asks difficult questions about privacy, identity, and the human condition in an increasingly interconnected world. The success of Black Mirror can be attributed to its talented cast, who bring these narratives to life. With accomplished actors like Rory Kinnear, Daniel Kaluuya, Toby Kebbell, and Jodie Whittaker, the performances in each episode are nothing short of exceptional. Their nuanced portrayals allow us to empathize with the complex and flawed characters, drawing us further into the enthralling world of Black Mirror. If you are intrigued by the captivating stories and themes explored in Black Mirror Season 1, you can now watch and download these thought-provoking episodes. With its masterful storytelling, brilliant performances, and a constant sense of unease, Black Mirror has firmly established itself as a modern-day classic. So delve into the dark abyss of technology with Black Mirror Season 1, knowing that the implications of our tech-driven society may be closer than we think.
