All roads lead to the same goal-guilt or innocence.

If you like to watch English dramas with connotations, please don't miss this short play "All roads lead to the same goal" produced by bbc, which consists of 6 episodes, each with an hour-long story. There are no big-name stars in this drama, and it is even depressing, because every time it starts, a man or a woman walks to the dock in chains, waiting for the court's decision. Interspersed among them are why they are in prison and how to go to crime step by step. In fact, they were all good citizens at first. I have watched the fifth episode of this drama and can't wait to share it with you.

Every episode has a plot that makes me sigh.

Episode 1: Defendant-Willie Varian

Willie is a diligent plumber. He is trying to earn money to support his family. He is having an affair and is going to tell his wife today. However, when he wanted to talk about it, his daughter told him excitedly that he was getting married. He abruptly swallowed something close to his mouth, turned it into a blessing, and lavishly paid the down payment for his daughter's banquet. Unfortunately, however, the project that Willie was in charge of fell through, and the money could not be collected, which made the check he signed for the hotel unable to cash. The bank refused to lend a helping hand, and he was cornered. He happened to pass by the church, and the priest said to him, If God helps you this time, please leave her. One day, when Willie took a taxi, he found 20 thousand yuan in the back seat. This is actually the drug dealer's money. Twenty thousand yuan was lost and the driver was seriously injured. Wei used the money to go to the casino. Luckily, he won twice as much money. He gave 20,000 yuan to the taxi acceptance center, and 20,000 yuan was used to organize his daughter's wedding. He was arrested (apparently replaced) for spreading counterfeit money. He returned to the acceptance center, and the other party denied seeing him, and he stood in the dock. Ironically, he didn't listen to the priest and decided to elope with his mistress after the crisis was solved. Ironically, when the police told him that he could only call one person when he was in custody, he chose his wife. From an objective point of view, Willie didn't commit any real crime. At best, he didn't pay back the money in time. However, he paid a huge price. Finally, Willie was accused of spreading counterfeit money and was sentenced to six years in prison.

Episode 2: Defendant-Frenchman Nash

Nash, who is only 20 years old, is a soldier, but he cruelly hurt his superior (sergeant). He kept his mouth shut, and no one knew his motive for killing. However, with the development of the story, the truth came out. Nash joined the army with his best friend, who was afraid of shooting in the war. I was called "bitch" by the sergeant when I came back. Everyone had to isolate him (by the sergeant). They peed on his bed, threw feces at him and spat on his plate. Under all kinds of soft violence, his best friend was overwhelmed and shot himself, but he could not bravely be a glorious soldier in the name of suicide. Nash escorted the coffin home, afraid of being intimidated by his friend's father, who was a veteran and knew the darkness of the barracks, but he didn't want to believe that his son committed suicide even though he vaguely knew the truth. After returning to the army, Nash could not bear the condemnation of his conscience and reported the facts to the chief. As a result, everyone chose to lie. He replaced the role of a friend and became a bitch. After several insults, one night Nash walked into the sergeant's tent with a dagger. This is an excusable murder and a desperate rebellion. However, for the sake of his friend's reputation, Nash insisted on silence. Ironically, even though he lost his beloved son, his friend's father chose silence and refused to let his son appear as a coward on the battlefield. In the end, Nash was charged with intentional homicide and sentenced to life imprisonment, with a lighter sentence of at least 25 years.

Episode 3: The Defendant-Helen Ryland

As a primary school teacher, Helen sent her only son to a factory as a temporary worker. Unexpectedly, an accident happened, and her son was crushed to death by a falling shelf during transportation. Afterwards, Helen learned the truth from her son's friends: the factory didn't give them enough training time to work, which led to the tragedy. When the child died tragically, Helen, despite her husband's obstruction, insisted on losing everything and even appealed for debt collection. However, she was mercilessly whipped by the law again and again and lost again and again. Helen's heart was hollowed out and drained again and again. In desperation, she begged the factory owner to apologize, and all she got was "My lawyer won't allow me to say that". When a child does something wrong, he will bow his head and apologize. When an adult makes a mistake, he will only try his best to cover it up. At this moment, Helen completely collapsed. She spilled gasoline on her son's dead shelf and set fire to the warehouse. The raging fire swallowed her anger. In court, Helen made an eloquent court statement, carefully expounded her criminal facts and reasons, and finally sensibility prevailed over rationality, and Helen was acquitted. This is a rare happy episode. In addition to revenge, I am also concerned about the changes in Helen's marriage. She is a strange middle-aged couple. Because of her son's death, her heart is getting closer. When Helen was tried, her husband rushed into the court wearing a clown costume, pointed to the judge and said, yes, I am the defendant's husband. I turned this way to show my contempt for this court and all courts. My wife once said that the law is a joke, and I didn't disagree. The husband was dragged out by the court police, and a fugitive came outside the court. He sang loudly. When Helen was released, the two couples who lost their children hugged each other and cried, which was touching.

Episode 4: Defendant-Ryan Black

Lian is a taxi driver. He is addicted to gambling, hoping to escape from the boring marriage life. His wife suffers from sclerosis and can only sit in a wheelchair, shivering with a glass of water. One day, Lynn took a female passenger to the airport. He fell in love with her at first sight. The woman with a good face is Emma. Having lost all her money, Lian can't buy gifts for her daughter's further education. She stole a necklace from Emma's house and took a USB flash drive with private information. In the evening, while drinking, Lian looked at the woman he never forgot, looked at her photos, looked at her diary and looked at her dribs and drabs. The deeper he knows, the more addicted he becomes. He crept up on her and found that her boyfriend was actually married. However, he lied to Emma that he was a widower. Emma slept with him sadly when he stole a photo of her boyfriend to let Emma know the truth. She thinks that Lynn is a generous and honest middle-aged man who has the same hobbies as her. But Lian was obviously carried away by love. He is so eager for this long-lost sunshine that he even wants to kill his burdensome wife and live with Emma to start a new life. However, when he showed his cards to his family, everyone felt puzzled and resentful (including his daughter). To make matters worse, Emma's ex-boyfriend came to visit at this time and found Lian just like him. He threatened Lian to tell Emma the truth. Ryan growled, at least he dares to be honest with his family, at least he dares to abandon his family. If Emma knows everything, she has nothing. In desperation, Lian got on the bus in a hurry, stepped on the gas pedal and ran into a rival in love. By the time he came to his senses, his rival in love had been beaten to pieces. In the end, Ryan was convicted of murder and sentenced to 15 years in prison for life. In the last scene, the woman who sacrificed her life for him disdainfully said to him, You make me shudder.

Episode 5: Defendant Kenny Armstrong

The fifth episode made me feel extremely indignant. Kenny has a family and works in the local crematorium. One day, his daughter was violated. The man is wearing blue shorts and a puppy. He is very angry. Encouraged by two friends, Kenny found the perpetrator of the violence. The other man died of his injuries, but in fact Kenny just punched him. The fatal wound was caused by his friend Gordon. However, fate played a big joke on him. Kenny found out that it was not this man who molested his daughter, which means that they killed someone by mistake, and even hurt her, probably their good friend Gordon. When Kenny burned the ashes for the deceased, he felt deeply sorry and his conscience was greatly condemned. In the end, he chose to turn himself in and tell the truth to the police, while his good friends, the Gordon brothers, chose silence. In the play, Kenny didn't want to kill each other, but Gordon beat him excitedly. If the brothers don't come, Kenny won't even go to that guy. Kenny confessed to his wife that if he didn't hit him, even he felt that others loved his baby daughter more than himself. Such a decent man with human consciousness was finally convicted of murder and imprisoned for 15 years, while the Gordon brothers, whose guilt was obviously greater than Kenny's, were acquitted. It turns out that the law is not completely fair and just. Kenny can only blame himself for making friends carelessly, leading the wolf into the room, and making a small step makes him regret it for life. Finally, the wife of the deceased spoke in court: but the thought of her husband's funeral made me feel more like torture than comfort. The man who did the last thing for my husband, disposed of his coffin and cremated him was the man who murdered him. This is the most disgusting thing. Hearing this, I feel deeply wronged and sympathetic to Kenny.

The sixth episode is not too dramatic. This English drama is very realistic, and it is full of emotion from both the judicial point of view and the plot direction. In the game between human nature and law, human nature is always the victim of integrity, and law is always a cunning clown. Even if we are familiar with reason, a fair judgment may not come as scheduled. I don't study law, but being accused is really a fairy tale.
