Mitch leaves the stand and Mr. MacManus continues.
"Regarding Evidence F, the security tape of Louis' so-called threat towards Mr. Lucas, I wonder why it's cut? Well, luckily I managed to get a hold of the whole video. Let me represent Evidence I."

"Objection your honor! That video is private property. We have no idea how Mr. MacManus got his hands on it but I want it removed as evidence. "

"Overruled. I allow the film as evidence." The judge answers.

Louis lets out a breath of relief. He watches the movie with the rest of the room and many of the jury members gasps. That must be good, right?

"Louis? What a pleasure to see you."

"Cut the crap. You're ending my contract now!"

"Oh Louis, you almost made it sound like a threat. Calm your titties."

"Tear up the fucking contract or I will tell the whole damn world what you have done to me."

"Watch your tone. Do that and I will fucking end you. I will sue you on every last penny. You'll never sing again when I'm done with you."

"Try."

The jury members are talking to each other now and the judges demand "order".

Mr. MacManus turns to the jury.
"I understand why the prosecution only showed you Mr. Tomlinsons' side of the conversation. As you could see for yourself Mr. Lucas was the one threatening Mr. Tomlinson. That brings me to Evidence J, the contract to its fullest. Let's read it shall we?"

"Objection your honor! The content of the contract is irrelevant!" Mr. Arnold says.

"I allow it, please continue Mr. MacManus." The judge answers.

"Thank you, your honor. Let's read it." Mr. MacManus smiles.

The contract is shown on the big screen and Mr. MacManus starts to read.
"Mr. Tomlinson will agree on the following terms.
1. Go out to a bar with Miss Jungwirth and make sure their picture is taken.
2. Go public with the notion that Miss Jungwirth is pregnant with his child.
3. If asked, the child was conceived on May 5th.
4. If asked about the pregnancy in interviews Mr. Tomlinson has to act very excitedly.
5. Mr. Tomlinson will refuse to take a paternity test and publically announce that he is sure that the baby is his.
6. Mr. Tomlinson has to be present at the child's "birth" and allow pictures.
7. Modest management can at any time decide that Mr. Tomlinson has to be seen publicly with a child and allow pictures to be taken.
8. Mr. Tomlinson can not under any circumstances tell anyone about this agreement.
9. Mr. Tomlinson can specifically not tell Mr. Styles anything about this contract or the situation."

Mr. MacManus keeps quiet for a while to let it sink in. The jury is talking loudly and the judge asks them to calm down.
"So to make this crystal clear. Modest Management hired a girl to fake a pregnancy and fatherhood for Mr. Tomlinson. Why you may ask, and why would Mr. Tomlinson even agree to go something so outrageous? I call Mr. Harry Styles to the witness stand."

Harry takes a seat and swears the oath. He's visibly nervous.
"Can you tell us about your relationship with Mr. Tomlinson?"

"Louis is my boyfriend." Harry states proudly and Louis smiles. There's a collected "oooooh" from the jury.
