Judge John Deed (2001)

S6E1 War Crimes (1)

Deed's connection to a case involving a far-right British National Party councilor catches the attention of terrorists who plot to eliminate him with an assassin. When the hitwoman confronts Deed, she surprises him but remains determined to fulfill her mission. At the same time, The Lord Chancellor assigns Deed to serve on an International Tribunal in The Hague, viewing him as a troublemaker back in the UK. There, Deed is tasked with presiding over the trial of a British soldier facing accusations of murdering eleven Iraqi civilians.
