Previously, on Allegiance
Is this you?
This is me.
I have access to the
assistant crown's laptop.
- Copy it.
- [SABRINA] Okay, it's loading.
I saw you and the assistant crown.
You go home with the crown.
The next day, your father's exonerated.
[SABRINA] The smallest
rumour of us together
It could send us both to jail.
160 people applied for this position,
and it is down to you
and two other candidates.
This is my brother, Ishaan Sohal.
You're working in
civilian investigations?
Oh. He's good.

[SOUND SLOWS AND DISTORTS
AS GUESTS PANIC AND CRY]
Lucky!
[DISTORTED CRIES AND MURMURING]
[WOMAN] 9-1-1!
[MAN] Let's get a doctor.
[♪♪♪]
[LAUGHTER]
[GILLIAN] Then go on and do nothing.
And, so her parents
They think she's
sleeping over at my house,
and we meet the guys
two blocks from here
And her mom is there, pissed.
Oh, my God.
Aren't you glad that the days of
sneaking around are behind you?
I live with my dad and brother
Maybe they are for you.
While your dad's out of town,
are you thinking of bringing home, say,
a certain deliciously handsome
assistant crown attorney?
Nate?
Well, he's not not delicious.
Mm-hmm.
[PHONE BUZZING]
It's Zak.
Mm.
Hey.
Yeah. Sure.
What's going on?
Uh, I gotta go
To a wedding.
[♪♪♪]
- [SABRINA] What do we know?
- Attempted murder.
The victim is the groom Lucky Singh.
He was stabbed on the dance floor.
It was crowded, noisy
No one saw it happen.
No weapon yet. Uniforms
are still searching.
How's he doing?
He's at Surrey General,
lost a lot of blood.
His bride, uh, Harleen
Kaur, went with him.
[SABRINA] Who was first on scene?
[ZAK] Brambilla, Gabinski, and Chen.
The hall's been contained,
but it's possible the
suspect's already fled.
Okay. Let's see what the cam's got,
get it to command.
We're on it.
We're also checking social media posts.
The wedding's hashtag is "Hargotlucky".
Hey, I thought it was your day off.
- This guy said he needed me.
- Did I said "needed"?
Well, we got a full guest
list from the wedding planner.
Well, you know that's more
of a suggestion, right?
Oh, I'm realizing that, yeah.
So we're doing all
the background checks,
witness statements.
Everyone's consented
to getting fingerprinted
before we send them home.
I mean, it's so tough
to get some solid intel.
The bar's been open since six P.M.
Doing the best we can.
I'm gonna talk to the groom's family.
Uh, can you head to the hospital?
I thought I was supposed to
connect with the community?
Absolutely.
Start with the bride,
connect here after.
Sure.
[♪♪♪]
- Nate?
- Hey.
What are you were
you a guest, or ?
Well, my dad and the bride's
are pickleball partners.
Oh. Well, I'm sorry. Are you okay?
Yeah. No, I'm okay.
I gave my statement already.
I, uh, I didn't see anything
from my side of the room.
You don't have to stay.
Reena Auntie She's
a little shaken up,
so I'm just gonna stick around,
make sure that she's okay.
That's nice of you.
Long shift?
No. It's supposed to be my night off.
I was actually
On a dinner date.
Hmm?
With Gillian.
Okay.
[♪♪♪]
[ZAK] We'd like to bring
you into the precinct
for a couple more questions, okay?
Is that all right?
Detective?
[INDISTINCT EXCHANGE]
Hey. You got something?
Attempted murder weapon.
Concealed in the men's washroom.
A cake knife.
We'll get it to forensics.
- Anyone could've grabbed this off the table.
- [GABBY] Yeah.
So anyone could be a suspect.
Anyone who'd use the men's washroom.
All right. Thanks, guys.
[♪♪♪]
No, I can't think of anyone
who would want to do this.
Lucky makes friends everywhere he goes.
Were there any uninvited guests,
or unfamiliar faces near
him when it happened?
No.
What does Lucky do for a living?
He owns a restaurant.
Mexican fusion.
He calls it "Tapastry". Like tapestry?
That's clever.
It hasn't opened yet.
He has investors onboard
They're just closing financing
before the big launch.
Does he have other business interests?
He had this big Bollywood
project in the works.
He was an actor when we first met.
He even went to India a few times,
but it fell through,
so he-he moved on and found a new dream.
[SOBS] You know, one
second, we were just dancing,
and my friends pulled
me away, and then I
Thanks. Thanks, Gopal.
Hi. Detective Sohal.
You were at the wedding?
Yes.
Well, the guests were
kept for questioning.
As soon as the ambulance
left, I jumped in my car.
I didn't think she should be alone.
Can you think of anyone who
might want to hurt your son?
No.
He was really trying to
get his life together.
Starting a business.
What about Harleen and
Lucky's relationship?
Was there anyone who wasn't
happy about the union?
[HUSHED WHISPERING]
There was this guy Gopal
Always hanging around.
She was with him before Lucky.
I told my son
he was trouble.
[♪♪♪]
So how do you know Harleen?
We went on a few dates.
Our parents set us up.
And where were you when
the stabbing happened?
I was in the bathroom.
Did you see anything?
No.
I ran out when I heard
all the screaming.
I don't really know Lucky,
but I don't hear a lot of great things.
Really? Harleen said the opposite.
She sees what she wants to see.
Lucky? Shady as shit.
He spent most of his life "funemployed".
Well, I heard he was
opening up a restaurant.
[SNICKERS] Well, at the Sangeet,
I saw him arguing with one of
his dad's business partners.
Got pretty heated.
Rahim? Please. Have a seat.
[♪♪♪]
Rahim is a good friend
A business partner.
He's family.
Did Lucky ever confide
in you about anything?
Any kind of trouble?
No. No. He's a good kid.
He insisted
Pay for the wedding.
Our son didn't want a cent from us.
He sounds like a great son.
He's a big talker.
No way that restaurant
was ever gonna open.
Is it cool if I get back to her?
Yeah. Yeah, of course. Thank you.
[♪♪♪]
[♪♪♪]
[INDISTINCT CHATTER]
Hey. Any news on Lucky?
Nah. He's still unconscious, but stable.
How's Reena Auntie?
She's home safe.
I'm just sticking around,
helping the family pack up a few things.
You know, maybe I could
Give you a ride home, if you
Um, well, I-I drove.
Right. Of course.
But thanks.
- I'll see you later?
- See you soon.
[SNIFFS]
[PHONE BEEPING]
If you'll excuse me just a moment.
Hey.
Back at the hall.
[ZAK] We have a murder weapon.
It was the wedding cake knife,
hidden in the men's washroom.
I just spoke with the bride's ex, Gopal.
He says he was in the bathroom
at the time of the stabbing,
and he conveniently got out of here
before we locked down the banquet hall.
There's also a family
friend Rahim Khan.
He looked very uncomfortable,
discussing Lucky.
And, apparently, Lucky insisted
on paying for the wedding himself.
But his restaurant's
not even up and running.
- How is he paying for all of this?
- Good question.
Sabrina?
Two sets of prints on
the knife. Two hits.
One of them's a server named Kapil Bedi.
The other belongs to Rahim Khan.
Zak, Rahim and a server's prints
They were both on the cake knife.
Now we're getting somewhere.
Card box it's gone.
I gotta call Reena Auntie. Sorry.
Hey, hey. Hey, what's going on?
The card box envelopes full of cash,
blessings for the bride and groom
It's been stolen.
How much cash?
This many people?
You're looking at a 100K, easy.
While everyone's distracted
by a knife attack,
someone goes out of here with $100,000.
I'm a server.
I handle silverware all day,
I set up the cake table
Of course, I held the knife.
Okay, and where were you
when the stabbing happened?
Bringing people drinks!
It all happened so fast.
Kapil, are you sure
you don't want a lawyer?
No.
Okay, when did you move to Surrey?
A few years ago.
And you're an international student?
On a student visa?
Meaning you're only allowed
to work a certain number of hours?
And maybe the banquet hall's been
letting you exceed those hours?
Please
I'm only concerned about the stabbing.
Lucky didn't pay for
this wedding himself.
His parents didn't either.
How much did you loan him?
200,000.
But it was a business loan.
It was for his restaurant.
Yeah, a restaurant that doesn't exist.
How has it been, studying here?
[UNCONVINCINGLY] Okay.
Good.
And your family?
In India.
And you send them money?
They send me
The tuition.
Where do you go to school?
MNA College.
[ZAK] We checked Lucky's
business application.
It never went through
But you knew that, didn't you?
I got a call from my business
partner a few weeks ago,
and then Lucky started avoiding me.
I approached him at the Sangeet
'cause I wanted to talk
But he didn't tell you what
you wanted to hear, right?
Then you show up at his wedding,
you see more of your money
being splashed around,
you have a few drinks
Okay, yeah, but I didn't stab him!
Then what are your prints
doing on that cake knife?
It was gold-plated!
Do you know how much that thing costs?
I picked it up to look
at it, and I'm thinking,
"how do you have money for that,
but not enough to pay me back?"
So you're angry.
You have a knife in
your hand, you stab him,
and you take the money
that's rightfully yours.
No!
I was the one who told the family
to put a tracker in the box.
Would I do that if I
planned to steal it?
There's a tracker?
[♪♪♪]
[SABRINA, PERKILY] Good morning.
Morning.
Oh! It is now.
- Thank you.
- Eat up.
Uh, double-bacon with cheese?
I think you're my favourite person.
Um, I've been going over the footage,
I've been trying to narrow it down
to the moments just before
and after the attacks.
- Anything good?
- No.
Too noisy, too dark,
too many bodies dancing,
and no one's camera was
pointing the right direction.
Okay. Um, can you
check for any connection
between the server Kapil Bedi
and the groom's investor, Rahim Khan?
Okay, but you think
they were both involved?
Yeah, maybe one of them stabbed
the groom as a distraction,
and the other grabbed the card box
The one with the tracker
that's conveniently offline?
I'll call in warrants
for both of their homes.
Vince is headed to Kapil's,
to talk to his roommates.
Let me know as soon as
the warrant comes in?
[ZAK] Yeah, you got it.
You're the sucker Svetlana hired.
Aiden.
Hey. Ishaan.
The hacker-slash-coder?
People talk.
Uh, Python man, actually.
So, slacktivist keyboard warrior?
Uh, try active military
deployment overseas.
Uh, let me guess uh
"Rust" guy?
Ooh!
I live.
Knew there was a reason they hired you.
You mean, beyond data entry?
That's just to warm you up. But no.
They hired us as
overqualified worker-bees,
so once we earn the queen's trust,
she'll transition us to the front lines
of something big going
down with the CFPC.
Really?
You gonna spill that tea, or ?
I'm talking about the possible
"future face of policing"
The great paradigm shift?
Come find me EOD and I'll fill you in.
Nice fit, by the way.
[♪♪♪]
[KNOCKING ON DOOR]
Hi. Detective Sohal.
We have a warrant to
search the apartment.
Can we come in?
[♪♪♪]
What is this about?
Your roommate, Kapil.
Is he okay?
Kapil's fine. He's in our custody.
[SPEAKING PUNJABI]
[SABRINA SPEAKS PUNJABI]
Puraj.
Straight-"A" student.
[SPEAKING PUNJABI]
"MNA College"?
[PURAJ SPEAKING PUNJABI]
Canada Day?
When we first arrived.
Go to English Bay to see the fireworks?
Who's that? Is that another
one of your roommates?
Naina. Naina Sundal.
Was she working at the banquet
hall last night with Kapil?
Mind if we, uh, take a picture of this?
Okay.
Where is she now?
Um, she's studying.
She starts very early.
She goes to the coffee shop.
[VINCE] Which one?
Stanley's Coffee.
It's good coffee.
[♪♪♪]
[SABRINA] Hey.
- [BOTH] Hey.
- No sign of the money at Kapil's house,
but a roommate of his, Naina Sundal,
was serving last night,
and she's unaccounted for.
Do you recognize her from the footage?
Uh, no, she doesn't look familiar,
but I can take a closer look.
[SABRINA] Okay. I'll send it to you.
[KEYS CLACKING]
Any luck at Rahim's house?
[ZAK] Try "mansion."
No card box, and only a
couple hundred in cash.
He's not lying about not needing it.
Seems like he was just
trying to do Lucky a solid,
and didn't realize he was a bad bet.
I wasn't able to track any connection
between the two suspects,
aside from them both being
at the wedding last night.
Uh, there! There. Stop.
[HITS KEYS]
[BEEP]
[SABRINA] That's her.
Naina wasn't processed by
any of the uniforms on scene.
She must've slipped out in the
ten minutes before we got there.
- With a box of cash?
- Maybe.
- [KEYS CLACKING]
- Uh okay.
The missing ten minutes hang on.
There she is.
[TOGGLING KEYS]
And she's got a backpack.
We need to find Naina.
Vince? Tell me you found her.
She wasn't at Stanley's
But I did secure a dark roast.
One milk, one cream?
No one to pick it up for me anymore.
Well, "heavy weighs the crown."
Sohal? We're on the move.
What is it?
Tracker's online.
It's at the banquet hall,
nine blocks from here.
[STARTS SIREN]
[SABRINA] Vince, get there fast.
On my way! Not far.
[ICE RUSTLING]
[♪♪♪]
The tracker's offline again.
How far out are you?
[VINCE] Two minutes.
Gun it!
The cash is about to walk out the door.
- [KEYS CLACKING]
- I'm getting floor plans.
[♪♪♪]
Entry's clear. I'll take the hall.
I'll check upstairs.
I'll take the back.
[♪♪♪]
Does anyone have eyes on Naina?
No.
Both halls are clear.
She's not out here.
[♪♪♪]
Naina.
My name is Sabrina.
I am not going to hurt you.
[PANTING ANXIOUSLY]
Naina!
[♪♪♪]
Naina! Naina!
She's in the kitchen!
Naina?
Stop!
[CRASHING]
Stop!
[GASPS]
She's outside!
Naina!
- [THUD]
- It's locked.
[♪♪♪]
She's gone.
[♪♪♪]
- What's the update?
- We got a B.O.L.O.
out on Naina Sundal with
her last-known location.
CCTV has her heading north,
past the banquet hall parking lot,
on foot, but then we lose her.
- No luck with her phone?
- No.
[GILLIAN] It's either turned
off or an older model
No GPS.
Hey, you've got the card box?
Yeah. She hid it in the ice machine.
Right!
Tracker wouldn't transmit
through industrial steel.
And she left nearly $80,000
in there when she ran.
You see any connection
between Naina and the stabbing?
Well, Kapil's not talking yet.
You said he lives in a cramped basement,
studies all day, works
weddings every night.
He is constantly surrounded
by people flaunting jewelry,
money being tossed around.
Oh, that would be hard to watch.
And so what's the harm in
taking a little back for himself?
You know, maybe he and
Naina came up with a plan.
Maybe the other
roommate's in on it, too.
Cause a distraction on the dance floor,
take the card box, meet
up later, split the cash?
- Exactly.
- [SABRINA] I don't know.
There are easier ways
to stage a distraction,
and grabbing a cake knife
doesn't really feel premeditated.
I think we need to split
the stabbing from the theft.
They came here with their
family's dreams on their shoulders.
Why risk their visa, jail time,
for just enough to maybe cover
a year of living expenses,
split three ways?
Unless they need the money now.
You know, I've lived here my whole life.
I've never heard of MNA College.
Gill, what can you
pull up on the school?
[GILLIAN] Um seems like
your basic private college
Mostly international students.
Where is that?
Is that even in Surrey?
[GILLIAN] Uh
Gotcha!
Stock photos.
That's a college in Massachusetts.
Scam schools It's a
fast-growing enterprise.
Fraud's starting a
province-wide crackdown.
These are massive
international operations
Millions in profit a year.
You saying MNA's a front?
[BOLTON] One among many.
The schools are mostly accredited,
until you take a closer look.
We've heard about intimidating students,
falsifying travel documents
Extortion?
[CLICK, BEEP]
Innovation, culture
- Opportunity
- That's the groom!
in Canada, any dream
is possible with hard work.
That's Lucky.
[SABRINA] MNA College
That's how you know Lucky.
What happened at MNA College, Kapil?
There's evidence
linking you to the crime.
Connection to the victim
Possible motive.
Or hey.
Maybe you're just the kind of guy
who likes to go around stabbing people.
You want us to fill in
the blanks ourselves?
When did you first meet Lucky?
[BREATH SHAKING]
Home. In
In Ludhiana.
Th-there was a recruitment fair.
He was a career advisor.
He told me he graduated from SFU.
- He told you he could get you in?
- He did get me in!
I got an acceptance letter
in the mail from SFU.
M-My visa was approved.
My family was so happy.
My brothers and sisters
They-they took extra work,
they saved up.
Then, when I arrived,
he-he phoned me,
a-and he said that
there was a mistake
I-I didn't get into SFU
I had been "Wait-listed."
But-but he said it's okay,
'cause there's somewhere
else that will take me
MNA College?
But i-it wasn't a school.
It was a nightmare.
My economics professor
was Well, he was a dentist.
There were hardly any classes.
They kept demanding more money!
What was I supposed to do?
Going home wasn't an option.
No! Go home, and tell my family what?
That all their money was wasted?
I couldn't.
I'd lose my visa.
I'd probably never be allowed back.
I mean, going through all that,
and feeling like you
couldn't tell your family
A few weeks ago,
I couldn't take it anymore.
So I told them the truth.
They told me not to bother coming home.
But I don't blame them.
All their money
With nothing to show.
What do you want with a son like that?
Kapil
When you saw Lucky at the wedding,
what happened?
I didn't recognize him at first.
I couldn't believe it.
That was him
[MUSIC DISTORTS, QUIET AND DARK]
[♪♪♪]
my recruiter, on the dance floor
Just laughing, drinking,
like-like a king.
I just wanted to ask him why,
and he looked at me like I was nothing.
He said,
"you wanted to come to Canada
You're in Canada! Be grateful."
And then he told me to get him a drink,
and then he just kept dancing.
[THEME GROWS DARKER, DISCORDANT]
[♪♪♪]
The cake table it was right there.
I didn't think.
I did it. I stabbed him.
I I I just
[♪♪♪]
Kapil
What about the money?
The wedding money Naina
stole, from the card box
Was it for the school?
No. Naina wouldn't
She did,
and we're worried that
she might be in trouble.
Kapil, can you think of where
Naina might be taking that money?
W-we used to make the tuition
payments at the school.
- [RADIO BEEPS]
- Vince?
Naina may be heading
to MNA with the money.
[VINCE] Copy. We'll head over right now.
I'm sorry.
For what?
You should've had a
chance at your dream.
[♪♪♪]
Kapil, we recommend having a lawyer
guide you through the next steps.
[♪♪♪]
[SIGHING HEAVILY]
I'll try Naina again.
[♪♪♪]
That "Bollywood gig"
that Harleen mentioned,
the one that kept taking Lucky overseas,
- but never panned out?
- Mm-hmm?
I'm guessing that was MNA
sending him on recruiting trips,
exploiting students like Kapil.
Do you think Harleen knew?
I doubt it.
This thing is bigger than we thought.
We need to call in the roommate, Puraj.
Yeah.
I was really hoping that
Naina would trust me.
Why?
Because you're brown?
No, because I can relate to her.
[SCOFFS WITH A CHUCKLE]
I was seven when my family immigrated.
I had a ton of friends back home.
I got here thinking
I'd have just as many,
but no one wanted to talk to me.
Funny accent, didn't know the customs.
I didn't come here
knowing I didn't belong
I had to learn the hard way,
and so did these students,
and the person teaching them that
Well, it's not always
some "Chad" or "Karen".
It's people who look like you and me.
[♪♪♪]
[♪♪♪]
[PURAJ] The school seemed okay at first.
I didn't really know it wasn't normal.
Then they said I didn't pay my tuition,
even though my parents
sent them the money.
They drove me to an
ATM, made me pay cash.
The cost went up each semester.
[VINCE] Looks like they left in a hurry.
- [RATTLES LOCKED DOOR]
- These poor kids.
Oh, come on, Vince.
You don't think they knew
what they were getting themselves into?
Come on. They want a
cheap path to immigration?
It's exactly what they got.
Their parents made sacrifices
to give 'em a shot at a
better life than they had.
Tell me you wouldn't
do the same for will.
[♪♪♪]
The MNA classes were useless.
We audited classes at
SFU when we had time.
We even did the assignments.
And what about Naina?
Naina really believed.
She convinced her whole family.
After Kapil's family told
him not to come back home,
we were all afraid to tell the truth.
So the money she stole,
that was for the school?
[SPEAKING PUNJABI]
What happened with Naina and the money?
Last week,
someone from the school came
and they told us we needed
to pay a graduation fee
Just for our diploma.
They wanted $15,000 each, by today.
So maybe when Naina saw how much money
was going into the box,
in the commotion, she
saw an opportunity,
she took the box and she ran.
Did you know?
Puraj, did Naina come home
and tell you what she did?
Naina said she could cover all of us,
if she could go back
into the banquet hall
as soon as it opened.
Then, she left, to wait.
Someone from the school came.
They said they'd hurt us.
I didn't have a choice.
I didn't have the money.
I told them what Naina did.
So, the people from the school,
they know that Naina has the money?
[♪♪♪]
[SABRINA] Vince? Did you find Naina?
She's not at the school.
Looks like they shut it down in a hurry.
[SABRINA] They've escalated to violence.
We need to know she's safe.
Is Naina going to be okay?
Okay, so
Lucky's got a-a contact
that works in education
[BEEP]
Bryce Rowley, a "faculty
support specialist" for MNA.
Bryce Rowley and his associates
have ties to organized crime.
Fraud's been closing in on these guys.
They went to serve a warrant
last week, and they got away.
Maybe this "graduation
fee" is a smash-and-grab?
Extort as much as they
can before they leave town?
No, I wouldn't want to
mess with these guys
Theft, aggravated assault.
That must be who Naina's
on her way to pay.
She can't. She doesn't
have all the money.
But the scammers don't know that
They think that Naina stole
the money from the banquet hall.
They think she's paying
for all three students.
She's still not answering.
What do you think
happens when she shows up
with only a fraction of what they want?
We need to reach her first.
Puraj, can I have your phone?
[♪♪♪]
This is Naina?
Thanks.
[RINGING]
Puraj?
Naina, this is Sabrina.
Detective Sohal. Please don't hang up.
MNA College has been
extorting you and your friends.
They're not affiliated with education.
They are involved with organized crime,
and they are dangerous.
You will not be getting
your degree from them.
Naina? Where are you, right now?
If you turn yourself in
now, I can't promise,
but I will do everything I can
to get your charges reduced.
[NAINA SNIFFLES]
I'm-I'm at a
I'm at a parking lot
by King George station.
[SABRINA] Drop-off's happening
by the parking lot at King George.
Copy. We're on our way.
[SIREN WAILING]
[SABRINA] Naina, we're sending help.
Stay on the line.
[ROB] Naina.
[♪♪♪]
[SIREN WAILING]
[SABRINA] Vince, the
drop's happening right now.
Here it is.
My graduation fee.
[BILLS RUSTLING]
[BRYCE] Where's the rest of it?
Who are you talking to?
Mind if I borrow that?
[BEEP]
["TERMINATED CALL" BEEPING]
They've got her.
This barely covers your fee!
- Give me that!
- Give me my diploma first!
[SNAPS] I said, where's the rest of it?
Okay?
Hey. Your roommate said
you had the money to
cover all three of you.
Take us where you've hidden it.
I can't.
The police stopped me.
I don't have the rest.
They have it now, okay?
So just please let me go.
Sure you want to tell
us that kind of lie?
We know where you and your friends live.
You're right.
I changed my mind.
I wanted to keep the money,
so I hid it somewhere
they wouldn't find it.
Take us.
[♪♪♪]
[BEACON PINGS]
Hey, Vince!
The tracker's just come online
The one from the card box.
[BEACON PINGING]
Wait, what?
The tracker, it's not in the box
Naina has it, and it's on the move
Going away from the drop-off point.
She's signaling us!
She's headed north on
King George Boulevard.
Looks like a left on 108.
Is she going back to the banquet hall?
That's the last place she saw the money.
She would know that
it's not still there.
But the guys with her wouldn't.
Vince, we'll meet you there!
[VINCE] What's the plan, Sohal?
[♪♪♪]
[♪♪♪]
I hid it in here.
[♪♪♪]
[GASPS]
Let's see.
[♪♪♪]
Okay, great.
You can come collect
your diplomas tomorrow.
[GASPS AND PANTS]
[♪♪♪]
Naina. Hey.
It's okay. You're safe now.
[♪♪♪]
- Hey!
- Don't move.
[ROARS] Put your hands up!
[♪♪♪]
You were so smart
To let us know where you were.
I didn't think you could
make it here in time.
You didn't think I'd
leave you hanging, did you?
[♪♪♪]
It's okay. You're okay now.
[♪♪♪]
[NAINA] You know, I begged
them to let me study in Canada.
They said it was gonna be
too much money, but I
You didn't know, Naina.
They said stay close to the family.
What will I do out
here all alone, right?
But I convinced them, I
made them believe in me.
I should've listened. I should've known.
It's just I wanted so badly
All of it was fake.
Fake college, fake visa
Fake everything.
What about how hard you worked?
The classes you attended at SFU,
how you fought to get an education
That's real.
You know, back at home, they
They line these up in
front of the gurdwara,
as a prayer offering
So that the kids of
Punjab get to leave Punjab.
[CHUCKLES SADLY]
This was the first thing I
bought when I came to Canada.
The first thing I owned in Canada.
What will I tell them? [SIGHING]
The truth.
That someone took advantage of you
That this isn't your fault.
Yes, but
Kapil's parents
I know, and it's awful
But, Naina, you can't keep
this inside of you forever.
Whatever happens,
it's better that the
truth is finally out.
[SNIFFLING]
Okay. Okay.
[SIGHS]
Will you stay with me?
While I make the call?
Of course.
[♪♪♪]
[WOMAN SPEAKING PUNJABI]
Hello?
[SNIFFLING]
[♪♪♪]
Ta-dah.
As promised the motherlode.
30 years of civilian
complaints on the CFPC.
Excessive use of force,
withholding evidence,
coerced confessions
What does this have to do with
"the future face of policing"?
The CFPC is digitizing their archives.
So are we.
This is how we get ahead of the program.
What program?
Predictive software
drawing on historical data.
It'll help enforcement agencies
anticipate criminal activity.
You're talking A.I.?
[DRYLY] Ding-ding.
So basically, a high-tech
version of carding?
Retargeting the people and communities
who are already overpoliced?
Yeah.
Confirmation bias on steroids.
The assistant commissioner's
gunning hard for it.
Assistant commissioner Campbell?
You did your homework.
But if we can get ahead of it,
we can flag systemic patterns
before the A.I. system is implemented.
Catch problematic cases,
maybe problematic officers
Before they become computer food.
And if we can prove the A.I.
violates public interest ?
Maybe we can stop it in its tracks.
Bring on the capes and tights.
We ride at dawn.
Or we could start right now.
[♪♪♪]
Uh, Naina, can you
wait in here a second?
- Okay.
- Thank you.
Harleen.
How's Lucky?
Uh, he's gonna be okay.
What about you?
I don't know.
I have to answer questions about
a man that I don't even know.
How could I be so stupid?
Mm, it's not stupid.
Just love.
The wedding money in the card box
is being processed as evidence,
but as soon as we can,
I'll get it back to you.
[♪♪♪]
And what about the students?
Are they in trouble?
Well, with what they went through
The courts are gonna
consider all of that
before they make their decision.
After what Lucky did
I want to help, if I can.
The wedding money
Maybe that could be used towards
them getting a real education?
Maybe at least something
good can come from this?
[♪♪♪]
Hey.
Hi!
A little update for you
Since Lucky pulled through,
Kapil's charges will be
dropped to aggravated assault.
You've been keeping up with the case?
Yeah. Yeah, he's been
connected to a public defender,
and we'll be pursuing a
case against Lucky and MNA.
The fraud department's already on it.
Thanks.
That's good.
You must be exhausted.
Yeah, I'm
- Uh
- Oh. Sorry.
- No, it's fine.
- I can come back
[♪♪♪]
You know, serious crimes
should be called "serious paperwork".
There's the dad joke
that I was waiting for.
Looks like we're gonna
be able to get Naina off
with a slap on the wrist.
Sorting out her false visa, though,
that's gonna be a whole other story.
Yeah. Years of legal battles
just to stay in a country
she rightfully belongs.
This morning feels
like it was a month ago.
You know
Work won't be there
waiting for you at home,
after an all-night shift.
I mean
The people who care about you
Th-they're worth more than anything.
You talking about Helena?
