Burden of Truth (2018) s03e01 Episode Script
Crawford Chang
1 I'm at the motel.
It's your dad.
They found him in his room.
We think that they're going to charge you with manslaughter.
When you have the right person, when the evidence leads to a suspect so obvious.
I am talking to you and I decide when I go, Dad.
- Let go of me! - Who hated him, who was in his room, her DNA under his fingernails? You snuck into his room after he left, and he caught you.
And you killed him.
- It was an accident.
- [SIGHS.]
What are they gonna do to me? Shane, I'm sorry about how I got you in here.
Promise me you'll take the meds.
What about Neil Bellegarde, dumped on the edge of town? I refuse to answer your question until I consult with counsel.
What happens to Sam Mercer? It's up to the new chief to decide.
A group of Winnipeggers started Bear Clan Patrol.
We stop fights, keep an eye on sex workers.
I can't compete with Singapore.
Did you think about asking me to stay with you? [INDISTINCT CHATTER.]
We're not changing strategy.
He posted it, we should use it.
We're late.
We already decided and we're on time.
On time isn't late.
- You forgot your coffee.
- No, I drank it already.
I'm not saying we should lead with it, but if it happens to slip out.
- It's not relevant evidence.
- Relevance is relative.
That's cute, but we're not doing it.
William Crawford, Joanna Chang.
Crawford Chang.
We have to do everything we can, - to pull out a win.
- We won't need it.
- We have something.
- It's not something.
We can make it something.
That's lawyering.
Staying on the ethical side of the line, doesn't make you a bad lawyer.
We start with that, then we're no different from your old firm.
We're trying to win a case but we're also trying to build a firm.
Crawford Chang has to stand for something.
I think I left the iron on.
Crawford Chang will stand for winning cases, and it turns off automatically, the iron.
We want the jury to think that this could happen to them.
- Play on their fear.
- But not too hard or we'll lose them.
Stay likeable.
- I am likeable.
- Jury's still out, Crawford.
I'm more likeable than you.
Well, that is a very low bar.
- Cat, sorry we're late.
- On time isn't late.
I got here early.
I made copies of all the files, there's water in there if you need it and I had some thoughts about the summation.
We'll deal with that later.
First, we'll question the plant manager, make him squirm.
OK.
But thank you.
Oh, no need to thank me.
It's my job.
I know, just working on my likeability.
Today could be a very hard day.
We're almost at the end, so stay strong.
Thank you, - for what you've done for Kadra.
- Yes, thank you.
We'll get her justice.
- OK.
- Mm-hmm.
Cat'll take you in.
We should've taken the settlement.
- The family turned it down.
- We persuaded them.
I persuaded them.
It was insulting.
I know we have to win.
Juries like blue, brings out your eyes.
Ready? [THEME MUSIC.]
As the factory manager, wouldn't it be your responsibility, to ensure that the deceased, Kadra Tabar, had the appropriate training before starting work? Kadra was a temp.
We're not obligated to train temporary workers.
So she was working near machinery, including the threader machine which ultimately, took her life, with no training at all? She was a temporary worker.
We can't afford to train them.
If we had to pay to train Kadra, we couldn't have hired her.
Not even a five minute safety talk.
She was going to college at night.
She was smart.
She could've done at lot with a little.
We expect some common sense.
I told Kadra not to wear the scarf.
Uh, the hijab? Flowing clothes on the factory floor do not mix.
Lots of them wear it.
- Them.
- Our workers.
There was the option to upgrade the machinery, to protect loose clothing.
The owner said no.
It was expensive and it slowed work down.
I'm sorry.
Excuse me, Your Honour, one second.
Make it quick, Mr.
Crawford.
- Jury believes him.
- Don't do it.
He made a racist joke about Muslims.
She didn't die because he's a racist; she died because the owner was negligent.
And also, questions may be raised about how we uncovered a post that was already deleted.
We could be disciplined.
- We need a move.
- Ms.
Chang, we hate to disturb you.
I'm sorry, Your Honour.
He's trying to show that he was on her side.
On that night, the deceased was working near the conveyor belt? Yes.
Kadra was delivering materials.
And you were there, on the floor, - when her hijab got tangled.
- Yes.
Kadra's hijab got caught in the J-Clamp.
You've said her name five or six times now, did your lawyer instruct you to do that? to make it seem like you saw her as a human being? At the moment of this young person's tragic death, on your watch, with no training did you know her name then? You have to answer the question.
No.
No.
No further questions, Your Honour.
[PENSIVE MUSIC.]
Hey, Bear Clan Patrol.
Let's all head towards the park, I'll grab the supply van and meet you there.
Keep your eyes open for sharks.
Luna.
Lilly got in a blue truck, at Robinson and Fuller a few minutes ago.
- Did you get the plate? - Yeah, I put it in the log.
I think we saw a blue truck last week.
What is with these guys? I don't get it, who's looking for it this early in the morning? We saw a blue truck last Friday by the park.
- Your memory is coming back.
- Mm-hm, be careful.
I might start remembering when it's your turn to take out the garbage.
Oh no, you're going to realize I'm a terrible roommate.
Oh no, I already realized that one.
Hey! [OMINOUS MUSIC.]
It's Mr.
Red Car, Luna.
Taylor, there are lots of red cars.
No, that looks like his car.
It's him.
Looks like he has someone, too.
You know what? I'm just gonna cut across Sutherland, he might be taking her there.
Taylor, we don't confront the johns.
I'm just gonna check it out, OK? Back me up.
- I found him.
- You see the plate? - It's him, Lu'.
- You need to call out the plate.
It's protocol.
[WALKIE-TALKIE BLIPS.]
[MUFFLED VOICES SHOUTING.]
[WOMAN.]
: Stop it, stop it! [MAN.]
: I only had a twenty! V-R-O-2-2-9.
OK.
Pull back.
[MAN SHOUTING.]
: Come here! - [WOMAN BEGGING AND CRYING.]
- Come here! Get up! [WOMAN.]
: Get your hands off me! [WOMAN CRIES OUT IN PAIN.]
- Taylor.
- [WALKIE-TALKIE BLIPS LOUDLY.]
[WOMAN SOBBING.]
- [TIRES SCREECHING.]
- Hey, are you OK? [TENSE MUSIC.]
Owen.
I'm just here helping the pastor.
Lawnmower there.
Probably should have got a new one.
When a man takes another man's life, that's murder.
That's how I understand the law.
25 to life, not two years and out in six months.
I I pled guilty.
After your lawyer cut a deal.
I took full responsibility for my actions.
[BIRDS CHIRPING.]
That old me is, uh gone.
You took Neil Bellegarde's life, and as of yet, that debt is not paid.
You're on parole.
One slip and I'll see you pay and I'll be watching you.
You do that, Owen.
Please watch me and I'll prove to you that I'm a different man.
I've come back to my church and my family.
People can change.
Stay away from me and my family.
How'd it go? - Jury's out.
- We just have to wait.
- Any calls? - Yeah, calls and mail.
I filed the papers into the research you asked for.
- It's on your desk.
- Thank you.
Good job.
Hey, here is the memo on product liability.
Thanks, Rylan.
If you hate it, I can rewrite it.
No, I don't hate it.
I haven't even read it yet.
But I can try again.
I'll stay late.
No, no.
This is fine.
Thank you.
[SIGHS.]
Lakeview called about your brother, they need you to send a cheque.
OK.
You know, giving them a "good job" from time to time wouldn't hurt.
- No one ever said "good job" to me.
- Oh, come on.
"Good job" doesn't mean anything, and it makes them think they're actually doing a good job when they aren't.
- We can't coddle them.
- I don't think you have to worry about being too coddle-y, boss.
I don't expect perfection, but that should be the goal.
Stop thinking about the jury, just Try to put it out of your mind.
Our employees like you more.
You're fun, Billy.
Well, they're scared of you.
- You could be nicer.
- Well, you could be meaner.
When I was an associate, I didn't leave before a partner at the end of the night.
I didn't book a lunchtime yoga class.
It's a different time, they're a different generation.
Just make an effort with them.
Is that you putting it out of your mind? - We need a win.
- We have other work.
Some.
You OK? You can't keep asking me that.
I am wonderful.
- There's an edge.
- I'm fine, Billy.
It's just another day.
Look, we've lived together for a year.
I can read you like a book.
Couldn't be better.
- OK.
- [PHONE RINGING.]
Oh.
Except tomorrow is the anniversary of my father's murder, so.
Hi, Diane.
Sorry I haven't been returning your calls.
Please tell me you're coming to the centennial.
No, Billy's going for us.
He loves high school reunions.
But I want you to come.
I went to Millwood High for nine months, like, a million years ago.
This is my first event as principal.
I would love some of the students to meet accomplished alumni.
I am immune to ass kissing.
I miss your face.
I'm swamped at work.
I'll try.
Not good enough! "Try" means you're not coming.
[OMINOUS MUSIC.]
Besides, I have a surprise for you.
- Diane? - Uh still here.
Um Come, please.
I promise you won't regret it.
OK, I'll really try.
So, do you have plans this weekend? I have plans, but I could work.
Yeah, I can come in too, it's fine.
No, no, I'm not asking you to work; I'm just asking if you have plans.
- What are you doing on the weekend? - I I don't get it.
I'm going to visit my father.
How nice.
- I'm going to the Gold Eyes.
- I love James Bond movies.
Eh Minor-league baseball team.
- Of course.
- What about you? There is a reunion at a high school I barely went to in a town that I really don't want to go back to, so Anyway, I was just heading to the bathroom.
So, yeah, have a great weekend.
[DOOR CLOSING.]
[CELL PHONE RINGING.]
Joanna Chang.
"In the matter of Kadra Tabar v.
Langway Shipping" "for wrongful death," "we find the defendant not liable.
" - [SOME PEOPLE GASPING.]
- [GAVEL KNOCK.]
[INDISTINCT WHISPERING.]
I'm sorry.
You said we could win.
I don't understand.
We turned down their money.
We'll have a good chance on appeal.
We're very sorry.
[INAUDIBLE SPEAKING.]
- Hey, so much for justice.
- Juries are unpredictable.
I packed up the case files like you asked.
No.
Send the files off.
We won't be handling the appeal.
- Can I get you a coffee? - No, thank you.
It's no big deal.
We lost a case.
It happens, we move on.
The first case of our new firm and we lose? Well, things can only get better.
We need a new case, Billy.
Name tags fresh from the printer.
Thank you.
Do you think these t-shirts turned out OK? Everything's gonna be great.
Everyone's gonna have a great time.
Alright? Hey, what? [DIANE SIGHING.]
I think I saw Sam Mercer in Millwood.
He got released.
You knew? I had it circled on my calendar.
Parole, good behaviour, whatever that means.
- And you didn't warn me?! - I didn't want you to worry.
You uncovered the evidence that put him in jail, and then you took his job! Hey, hey, hey, hey.
He can't hurt us.
He's not gonna be a problem.
OK? There's a biotech firm taking pitches for legal counsel.
We'd have a shot, but your old place, Steadman Lavery, has the inside track.
- Perfect.
- Then, we were asked to represent the employees of the Galbraith School in a harassment claim.
Bad boss shredded the HR manager's notes.
- That's great.
- Right now, it's only a consultation.
- Free.
- But could lead to something.
And then, we had a few website inquiries.
You know, slips and falls, - personal injury.
- Ambulance chasing.
You know, it's just the end of our first year; we have to give it time to grow.
Maybe a few slippage and fallage would help us pay some bills.
We're OK financially, right? Billy? Maybe we were ambitious taking on two associates.
OK.
Then, we let one go.
It isn't Sophie's Choice.
Billy, Cat is better.
Hey, guys! I just wanted to file my forms to start work.
You know, so I get the ball rolling on payroll.
Running on fumes here.
Kind of some negative energy in here.
We lost the case.
I'm sorry.
Cat deals with paperwork.
Oh, uh, hey, legal favour: uh, is there a way to keep a certain person out of a certain area, legally? You mean like a restraining order for a place? Is this a pro bono thing? Never mind.
See you Monday.
[JOANNA SIGHING.]
I've been in tougher jams than this.
"Key to firm success: ruthless efficiency.
" Is that David Hanley? Yeah.
My father's firms won cases and they made money.
Hi! I'm Luna.
Joanna said to give you my forms.
I can't wait to get started.
You're Joanna's sister? - Yeah.
- That's your desk.
I had to bust my ass to get my first job; it must be nice having a sister with a law firm.
[TYPING ON KEYBOARD.]
I just I fast-tracked my undergraduate degree.
I'm gonna work for a year, then I'm thinking about writing my LSA and applying to law school.
Law school is war.
If you have to think about applying, you probably shouldn't.
You've already lost.
OK.
I'll see you on Monday.
I worked at Matheson Steel one summer.
You know, the key to beating nepotism is you work twice as hard to prove that you deserve the job you didn't earn.
- And bring free donuts.
- Ohhh! Yeah.
Office people are always a sucker for free donuts.
You'll win her over.
It's him.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC.]
He's stopping.
That's Lilly.
First aid to Dufferin Street, hurry.
How long are we gonna sit by and keep watching this happen? Bear Clan is a patrol, not the police.
[ENGINE REVVING UP.]
I'm just a suburban family man.
It's time to call up the bad dudes.
Taylor Taylor? Taylor, hey.
We shouldn't be doing this.
If my mom knew what my dad was up to, she might have protected me.
Taylor, this isn't what Bear Clan does.
Well then, you can wait in the van.
[KNOCKING ON DOOR.]
[KNOCKING ON DOOR.]
That's trespassing, hey.
Trust me, you don't want to go to jail.
[SOFT PIANO MUSIC.]
I'll go to that reunion.
You know it's in Millwood, right? Diane really wants me to go.
I didn't remember about your father I should have.
It isn't important.
- It is.
- I've grieved.
Today is just any other day.
No more rear-view mirror.
Just you and me, Crawford and Chang.
You know, if we're gonna make that party, we should leave "now-ish.
" On time isn't late, right? You drive fast.
Yeah, like the wind.
Then we have time.
Give me your patience Wanna feel your pain Give me me your patience Wanna feel your pain I need to make up next week's Bear Clan schedule; you're going out? Yeah, of course, I've gone all year.
You know you don't have to.
I went out when it was minus 40.
I thought you might want to take a break.
Look, Luna, I know that guy.
Mr.
Red Car used to work for my dad at Matheson Steel.
Why didn't you tell me? His family came over to our house for dinner.
I get it, Tay, but Bear Clan is nonconfrontational.
We can't follow people home; we're not vigilantes.
You could have put the whole organization in jeopardy.
What were you thinking? - All we've got to do - [INDISTINCT CHATTER.]
Is give a little yeah, give a little For a little love You gotta give a little love Oh, Joanna Hanley, pharmaceutical lawyer, I remember her.
I made a mistake.
So glad you could make it.
Ah, sorry about that.
No, it's fine.
It's just a slight identity crisis.
OK, mingle.
I have a surprise for her.
Come.
Come.
Come-come-come! - What is the surprise? - Aaah, it's more of a who.
Hey.
Kodie.
- In the flesh, baby! - You look If you say "the same," you are totally lying.
- [CHUCKLING.]
- No, you look great.
Yeah, for a recovering addict, single mother of two.
You're a big success, no surprise there.
I've been reading all about you.
I looked for you.
Yeah, well, I've been hard to find.
Some dark days, you know? [INDISTINCT SONG PLAYING.]
Now, there's a sight I miss.
Hey! Good to see you, my friend.
So, Kodie Chartrand.
Yeah, she's been back in town a few months.
Where has she been? All around.
Chartrands are still trouble - guns and drugs a pain in my ass, but Kodie's really cleaned up her life.
And Diane was so excited about getting them all back together again.
Those three used to torment me every recess.
Had to prove they were smarter than me, which they were, obviously.
- Everything alright? - Yeah, life's good.
You know I interrogate people for a living; I know when I'm being lied to.
You and Diane, it's always been easy for you.
You wanna know the secret to relationships? Fine.
The secret to an easy relationship is Diane.
Date Diane and at least one of you will have it all together.
I've been giving my brother money, probably - more than I should have.
- Alright.
- Joanna doesn't know.
- Get a little love Well, I come from a matriarchal society, so good luck with that.
- Thank you, pretty helpful.
- Yeah, yeah, anytime.
[APPLAUSE.]
Welcome back, Millwood High alumni.
[CROWD CHEERING.]
Woo! You know, I'm not just your mayor; I'm also a former Millwood High cheer captain.
So I say go, Bulldogs! - [CROWD CHEERING.]
- [INDISTINCT SPEAKING.]
A big shout-out to Principal Diane Evans of the reunion committee.
[CROWD CHEERING.]
First female principal by the way.
Female mayor.
Where's Police Chief Beckbie? Where is he? There he is.
I'd watch my back, Owen, - if I were you.
- [PEOPLE LAUGHING.]
Exciting things are happening here in Millwood.
We've kept our campaign promise for smaller class sizes, daycare spaces, and 24-hour access to medical help through our MillHealth Help Line! - Yes! Yes! - [CROWD CHEERING.]
But there's still so much work to do, so vote to re-elect Mayor Alison Shepard in this fall's election.
Enjoy your weekend.
Enjoy being back in Millwood, a perfect place to live.
[APPLAUSE.]
[MUSIC PLAYING.]
[INDISTINCT CHATTER.]
[INDISTINCT SONG PLAYING.]
Sam Mercer is back.
He served his sentence, he's paid his debts, and no one can stop him from coming back to Millwood.
I'm gonna be keeping an eye on him.
- If he gets out of line - You can't harass him.
We all need to find a way to get along.
Get along with Sam Mercer? I'm not asking you to have him over for dinner.
Friends close, enemies closer.
And, Owen, it's a party, try to have some fun.
[INDISTINCT SONG PLAYING.]
That's Madison, she's 12, and this is True, she's 7.
That looks like a lot of work.
Yeah, they keep me on my toes, that's for sure.
Haha! - You don't have any kids? - Of course not.
Not that I am against them as a concept; it's just the idea of one growing in me.
Hmm Never? I have a very busy job.
These two are my busy job.
Greatest job in the world.
I highly recommend it.
[JOANNA CHUCKLING.]
Oh! And as much as I'm loving catching up, I really should get back to them.
Diane is supposed to drive me home.
Uh I had a DUI a few years back, but I'm totally sober now.
That's in my past.
Well, I can drive you.
No, you don't have to, it's fine.
No.
No, I want to.
Um, just give me a second.
[INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS.]
Hi.
You and Kodie aren't gonna terrorize me again? No.
We don't have recess anymore.
I'm just gonna drive her home.
A lot happened after you left, with her and her family.
You don't want to get involved with the Chartrands.
I'm just gonna drive her home and come back.
Just be careful, please.
OK.
I can take care of myself.
What do we do if the firm fails? - We start another one.
- I'm serious.
Look, failure isn't the end of the world.
- I don't fail, Billy.
- I know.
- Ever.
- I get it.
This is the first case I have ever lost.
You start losing as a lawyer, people stop calling.
- It's on your Google.
- Your Google is not a thing.
For good or bad, in law, your reputation is everything.
Well, then let's stop being lawyers this weekend.
That's who we are, that's in our DNA; we can't just turn that off.
We can try really try.
OK, I'll, um I'll be right back.
[INDISTINCT SONG PLAYING.]
I, uh, left in grade 11 and never went back.
- High school dropout.
- You were a great student.
You know, sometimes even better than you.
- Sometimes.
- [BOTH CHUCKLING.]
I went for a meeting with a guidance counsellor, and when I told him I wanted to go to college, he said, "Why bother?" I'm not making excuses.
There was also a handsome boy.
[JOANNA CHUCKLING.]
We ran away.
Always wanted to go back and finish, but then Madison came, lots of good things.
Lots of things I'd like to do over.
Yeah.
Me too.
Yeah, no kidding: you married Billy Crawford.
[BOTH CHUCKLING.]
- We are not married.
- [KODIE LAUGHING.]
Never thought he'd be a lawyer.
Yeah, he's full of surprises.
In a good way.
Wouldn't it be great to be 12 again? I missed you, Jojo.
You should come visit us in the city.
It's hard to get away.
I have a job I gotta hold onto.
But one day at a time, you know.
Yeah.
It's my house.
- What's going on? - I don't know.
My kids.
- You need to step back.
- What happened? - My kids are inside, I gotta - Ma'am, just calm down.
Your kids are safe.
- Step away.
Remain calm.
- True? True, baby, are you OK? - [TRUE.]
: What's happening? - I don't know.
Wait, what's going on? What are you doing with her? - True! - Mom! Madison! Maddie, Maddie, what happened? [INAUDIBLE SPEAKING.]
Maddie! Where are you taking them?! Let me talk to my kid! [KIDS CRYING.]
I'll be put in a family, she told me.
[WOMEN HARMONIZING.]
Stop! No! [WOMEN HARMONIZING.]
I need to see the logs.
I wanna know where everyone was tonight.
I wasn't informed there was a child-apprehension warrant.
Just a routine call from Family Services.
I'd like to be informed.
Under the old chief, we didn't do that.
That was the old way.
You're the boss.
It was Millwood PD.
They've been watching me.
They waited for me to be out.
The police? [DIANE.]
: Owen's the chief, it couldn't be the police.
This is Millwood Family Services.
I've dealt with them at the school.
The police have to attend all child apprehensions.
It says here there should be a hearing within a week.
A week? They take your kids if they believe they're in danger.
- They weren't in danger.
- Who was here with your kids? Madison.
But she's 12 going on 30.
It's legal to leave your kids with a 12 year old.
And I was only gone for an hour.
I know my Madison, they were safe.
They have to act on all complaints.
Who made a complaint? Madison broke her arm a while back.
It was an accident, she fell down the stairs.
I didn't do what people said I did.
They've made a mistake.
I've done everything right! [DIANE SIGHING.]
Maybe we can challenge it.
- Tonight? - [KODIE.]
: Please.
You're the best.
[DIANE.]
: She can do the impossible.
I was a transactional lawyer, corporate law, big deals, mergers and acquisitions, private offerings, securitized investments, I was good at it, I liked it.
I like credit derivatives and, to a lesser extent, commodity swaps.
They make sense to me.
I can do those deals, I can do them perfectly.
But a case like this families kid Just need a second.
[HYPERVENTILATING.]
Hey.
Hey, hey, hey, hey.
We can just go home.
I'll find you a nice credit-derivative case to work on.
Hey.
[SNIFFLING.]
No.
We go wake up a judge.
[KNOCKING ON DOOR.]
[FOOTSTEPS.]
- Can I help you? - Your Honour, Joanna Chang, Billy Crawford.
We would like to request an emergency order, to halt the unlawful apprehension of our client's children.
There'll be an hearing in a week, we can sort it out then.
No, without an emergency order, our client and her children will suffer permanent irreparable and immediate harm.
Ms.
Chang, I appreciate your verve, but there's no such thing as an emergency order - in a child-apprehension case.
- Your Honour You can't simply make up the law, Ms.
Chang.
The police and Child Services entered the home, and they removed the children forcibly in violation of their rights under section 8 of the Charter.
There's no charter protection from search and seizure in child-apprehension cases.
[SIGHING.]
Well, there should be.
The penalty can't come before the right to defend yourself.
Are you asking me to overrule a Supreme Court decision in a bathrobe? Well, it was wrongly decided, so yes.
If the seizure was unlawful, the hearing will address it.
- I'm going back to bed.
- But Those children can't be all alone.
I'll move up the hearing.
48 hours, that's the best I can do.
And you better be ready.
If your client loses at that hearing, she could lose her kids forever.
[DOOR CLOSING.]
The spare room's yours as long as you need it.
Just until my kids are home.
48 hours.
There'll be a hearing and then we'll have a chance to argue why you should get your kids back.
We shouldn't have to argue that.
It sounds crazy, but there is no absolute legal right to raise your own kids.
In this case, you are guilty until proven innocent.
I should get to work, figure out the case against you.
- We should all get some rest.
- I'm not tired.
I can't sleep.
- What if we lose? - Joanna won't lose.
[DOOR OPENING.]
Hello? Good evening, everyone.
Oh, this isn't good.
Looks like the attending officer was Tommy Heath.
One of Mercer's pals.
Yeah, they've been after my family for years, but Why are they targeting me? - Could they have done this? - It could be.
Sam Mercer is back in town, we need to be prepared for anything.
But there was an apprehension warrant.
"There was reasonable belief," "the children of Kodie Chartrand are at risk" "of serious and immediate harm," "due to parental neglect.
" I'm sorry.
I believe you.
We're gonna figure out who did this, and we won't stop until we get your kids back.
[SNIFFLING.]
What if none of it ever gets solved in the North End? Then, it's still worth trying.
Louis Riel said our people would sleep for a hundred years, but then we'd wake up.
A hundred years is a long time.
We have to play the long game.
How are you not angry all the time? Anger is about the past.
You can choose not to have it.
See? I don't agree with that because then you just push it deeper, but it's still there.
I'm going to bed.
I left the money for the Hydro bill on the counter.
Promise me if you walk with Bear Clan, you follow our rules.
Hmm.
[END OF MUSIC.]
So, we're staying? Just for 48 hours, I promise.
We should let someone else take this.
She needs us.
Our firm needs us.
It's important, it's just two days, and I owe her.
Why? She was there for me a long time ago, Billy.
Cat, hi.
Uh, no need to call me back.
Billy and I are away for a couple of days on a case.
And you are doing a good job.
Also, I need you to fire Rylan for me.
Thanks.
You're sure we're not just hanging out here 'cause we lost the trial? You've been pushing to go on summer vacation.
- This counts? - Yes.
We are out of the city.
On a child-apprehension case.
Our case, Kadra I didn't cross the line, and it cost us the trial.
We're lawyers, we are paid to win.
Nothing else matters.
That's Joanna Hanley talking.
I love you, Billy.
And I love you too whoever you are.
It's your dad.
They found him in his room.
We think that they're going to charge you with manslaughter.
When you have the right person, when the evidence leads to a suspect so obvious.
I am talking to you and I decide when I go, Dad.
- Let go of me! - Who hated him, who was in his room, her DNA under his fingernails? You snuck into his room after he left, and he caught you.
And you killed him.
- It was an accident.
- [SIGHS.]
What are they gonna do to me? Shane, I'm sorry about how I got you in here.
Promise me you'll take the meds.
What about Neil Bellegarde, dumped on the edge of town? I refuse to answer your question until I consult with counsel.
What happens to Sam Mercer? It's up to the new chief to decide.
A group of Winnipeggers started Bear Clan Patrol.
We stop fights, keep an eye on sex workers.
I can't compete with Singapore.
Did you think about asking me to stay with you? [INDISTINCT CHATTER.]
We're not changing strategy.
He posted it, we should use it.
We're late.
We already decided and we're on time.
On time isn't late.
- You forgot your coffee.
- No, I drank it already.
I'm not saying we should lead with it, but if it happens to slip out.
- It's not relevant evidence.
- Relevance is relative.
That's cute, but we're not doing it.
William Crawford, Joanna Chang.
Crawford Chang.
We have to do everything we can, - to pull out a win.
- We won't need it.
- We have something.
- It's not something.
We can make it something.
That's lawyering.
Staying on the ethical side of the line, doesn't make you a bad lawyer.
We start with that, then we're no different from your old firm.
We're trying to win a case but we're also trying to build a firm.
Crawford Chang has to stand for something.
I think I left the iron on.
Crawford Chang will stand for winning cases, and it turns off automatically, the iron.
We want the jury to think that this could happen to them.
- Play on their fear.
- But not too hard or we'll lose them.
Stay likeable.
- I am likeable.
- Jury's still out, Crawford.
I'm more likeable than you.
Well, that is a very low bar.
- Cat, sorry we're late.
- On time isn't late.
I got here early.
I made copies of all the files, there's water in there if you need it and I had some thoughts about the summation.
We'll deal with that later.
First, we'll question the plant manager, make him squirm.
OK.
But thank you.
Oh, no need to thank me.
It's my job.
I know, just working on my likeability.
Today could be a very hard day.
We're almost at the end, so stay strong.
Thank you, - for what you've done for Kadra.
- Yes, thank you.
We'll get her justice.
- OK.
- Mm-hmm.
Cat'll take you in.
We should've taken the settlement.
- The family turned it down.
- We persuaded them.
I persuaded them.
It was insulting.
I know we have to win.
Juries like blue, brings out your eyes.
Ready? [THEME MUSIC.]
As the factory manager, wouldn't it be your responsibility, to ensure that the deceased, Kadra Tabar, had the appropriate training before starting work? Kadra was a temp.
We're not obligated to train temporary workers.
So she was working near machinery, including the threader machine which ultimately, took her life, with no training at all? She was a temporary worker.
We can't afford to train them.
If we had to pay to train Kadra, we couldn't have hired her.
Not even a five minute safety talk.
She was going to college at night.
She was smart.
She could've done at lot with a little.
We expect some common sense.
I told Kadra not to wear the scarf.
Uh, the hijab? Flowing clothes on the factory floor do not mix.
Lots of them wear it.
- Them.
- Our workers.
There was the option to upgrade the machinery, to protect loose clothing.
The owner said no.
It was expensive and it slowed work down.
I'm sorry.
Excuse me, Your Honour, one second.
Make it quick, Mr.
Crawford.
- Jury believes him.
- Don't do it.
He made a racist joke about Muslims.
She didn't die because he's a racist; she died because the owner was negligent.
And also, questions may be raised about how we uncovered a post that was already deleted.
We could be disciplined.
- We need a move.
- Ms.
Chang, we hate to disturb you.
I'm sorry, Your Honour.
He's trying to show that he was on her side.
On that night, the deceased was working near the conveyor belt? Yes.
Kadra was delivering materials.
And you were there, on the floor, - when her hijab got tangled.
- Yes.
Kadra's hijab got caught in the J-Clamp.
You've said her name five or six times now, did your lawyer instruct you to do that? to make it seem like you saw her as a human being? At the moment of this young person's tragic death, on your watch, with no training did you know her name then? You have to answer the question.
No.
No.
No further questions, Your Honour.
[PENSIVE MUSIC.]
Hey, Bear Clan Patrol.
Let's all head towards the park, I'll grab the supply van and meet you there.
Keep your eyes open for sharks.
Luna.
Lilly got in a blue truck, at Robinson and Fuller a few minutes ago.
- Did you get the plate? - Yeah, I put it in the log.
I think we saw a blue truck last week.
What is with these guys? I don't get it, who's looking for it this early in the morning? We saw a blue truck last Friday by the park.
- Your memory is coming back.
- Mm-hm, be careful.
I might start remembering when it's your turn to take out the garbage.
Oh no, you're going to realize I'm a terrible roommate.
Oh no, I already realized that one.
Hey! [OMINOUS MUSIC.]
It's Mr.
Red Car, Luna.
Taylor, there are lots of red cars.
No, that looks like his car.
It's him.
Looks like he has someone, too.
You know what? I'm just gonna cut across Sutherland, he might be taking her there.
Taylor, we don't confront the johns.
I'm just gonna check it out, OK? Back me up.
- I found him.
- You see the plate? - It's him, Lu'.
- You need to call out the plate.
It's protocol.

Owen.
I'm just here helping the pastor.
Lawnmower there.
Probably should have got a new one.
When a man takes another man's life, that's murder.
That's how I understand the law.
25 to life, not two years and out in six months.
I I pled guilty.
After your lawyer cut a deal.
I took full responsibility for my actions.
[BIRDS CHIRPING.]
That old me is, uh gone.
You took Neil Bellegarde's life, and as of yet, that debt is not paid.
You're on parole.
One slip and I'll see you pay and I'll be watching you.
You do that, Owen.
Please watch me and I'll prove to you that I'm a different man.
I've come back to my church and my family.
People can change.
Stay away from me and my family.
How'd it go? - Jury's out.
- We just have to wait.
- Any calls? - Yeah, calls and mail.
I filed the papers into the research you asked for.
- It's on your desk.
- Thank you.
Good job.
Hey, here is the memo on product liability.
Thanks, Rylan.
If you hate it, I can rewrite it.
No, I don't hate it.
I haven't even read it yet.
But I can try again.
I'll stay late.
No, no.
This is fine.
Thank you.
[SIGHS.]
Lakeview called about your brother, they need you to send a cheque.
OK.
You know, giving them a "good job" from time to time wouldn't hurt.
- No one ever said "good job" to me.
- Oh, come on.
"Good job" doesn't mean anything, and it makes them think they're actually doing a good job when they aren't.
- We can't coddle them.
- I don't think you have to worry about being too coddle-y, boss.
I don't expect perfection, but that should be the goal.
Stop thinking about the jury, just Try to put it out of your mind.
Our employees like you more.
You're fun, Billy.
Well, they're scared of you.
- You could be nicer.
- Well, you could be meaner.
When I was an associate, I didn't leave before a partner at the end of the night.
I didn't book a lunchtime yoga class.
It's a different time, they're a different generation.
Just make an effort with them.
Is that you putting it out of your mind? - We need a win.
- We have other work.
Some.
You OK? You can't keep asking me that.
I am wonderful.
- There's an edge.
- I'm fine, Billy.
It's just another day.
Look, we've lived together for a year.
I can read you like a book.
Couldn't be better.
- OK.
- [PHONE RINGING.]
Oh.
Except tomorrow is the anniversary of my father's murder, so.
Hi, Diane.
Sorry I haven't been returning your calls.
Please tell me you're coming to the centennial.
No, Billy's going for us.
He loves high school reunions.
But I want you to come.
I went to Millwood High for nine months, like, a million years ago.
This is my first event as principal.
I would love some of the students to meet accomplished alumni.
I am immune to ass kissing.
I miss your face.
I'm swamped at work.
I'll try.
Not good enough! "Try" means you're not coming.
[OMINOUS MUSIC.]
Besides, I have a surprise for you.
- Diane? - Uh still here.
Um Come, please.
I promise you won't regret it.
OK, I'll really try.
So, do you have plans this weekend? I have plans, but I could work.
Yeah, I can come in too, it's fine.
No, no, I'm not asking you to work; I'm just asking if you have plans.
- What are you doing on the weekend? - I I don't get it.
I'm going to visit my father.
How nice.
- I'm going to the Gold Eyes.
- I love James Bond movies.
Eh Minor-league baseball team.
- Of course.
- What about you? There is a reunion at a high school I barely went to in a town that I really don't want to go back to, so Anyway, I was just heading to the bathroom.
So, yeah, have a great weekend.

[INDISTINCT WHISPERING.]
I'm sorry.
You said we could win.
I don't understand.
We turned down their money.
We'll have a good chance on appeal.
We're very sorry.
[INAUDIBLE SPEAKING.]
- Hey, so much for justice.
- Juries are unpredictable.
I packed up the case files like you asked.
No.
Send the files off.
We won't be handling the appeal.
- Can I get you a coffee? - No, thank you.
It's no big deal.
We lost a case.
It happens, we move on.
The first case of our new firm and we lose? Well, things can only get better.
We need a new case, Billy.
Name tags fresh from the printer.
Thank you.
Do you think these t-shirts turned out OK? Everything's gonna be great.
Everyone's gonna have a great time.
Alright? Hey, what? [DIANE SIGHING.]
I think I saw Sam Mercer in Millwood.
He got released.
You knew? I had it circled on my calendar.
Parole, good behaviour, whatever that means.
- And you didn't warn me?! - I didn't want you to worry.
You uncovered the evidence that put him in jail, and then you took his job! Hey, hey, hey, hey.
He can't hurt us.
He's not gonna be a problem.
OK? There's a biotech firm taking pitches for legal counsel.
We'd have a shot, but your old place, Steadman Lavery, has the inside track.
- Perfect.
- Then, we were asked to represent the employees of the Galbraith School in a harassment claim.
Bad boss shredded the HR manager's notes.
- That's great.
- Right now, it's only a consultation.
- Free.
- But could lead to something.
And then, we had a few website inquiries.
You know, slips and falls, - personal injury.
- Ambulance chasing.
You know, it's just the end of our first year; we have to give it time to grow.
Maybe a few slippage and fallage would help us pay some bills.
We're OK financially, right? Billy? Maybe we were ambitious taking on two associates.
OK.
Then, we let one go.
It isn't Sophie's Choice.
Billy, Cat is better.
Hey, guys! I just wanted to file my forms to start work.
You know, so I get the ball rolling on payroll.
Running on fumes here.
Kind of some negative energy in here.
We lost the case.
I'm sorry.
Cat deals with paperwork.
Oh, uh, hey, legal favour: uh, is there a way to keep a certain person out of a certain area, legally? You mean like a restraining order for a place? Is this a pro bono thing? Never mind.
See you Monday.
[JOANNA SIGHING.]
I've been in tougher jams than this.
"Key to firm success: ruthless efficiency.
" Is that David Hanley? Yeah.
My father's firms won cases and they made money.
Hi! I'm Luna.
Joanna said to give you my forms.
I can't wait to get started.
You're Joanna's sister? - Yeah.
- That's your desk.
I had to bust my ass to get my first job; it must be nice having a sister with a law firm.
[TYPING ON KEYBOARD.]
I just I fast-tracked my undergraduate degree.
I'm gonna work for a year, then I'm thinking about writing my LSA and applying to law school.
Law school is war.
If you have to think about applying, you probably shouldn't.
You've already lost.
OK.
I'll see you on Monday.
I worked at Matheson Steel one summer.
You know, the key to beating nepotism is you work twice as hard to prove that you deserve the job you didn't earn.
- And bring free donuts.
- Ohhh! Yeah.
Office people are always a sucker for free donuts.
You'll win her over.
It's him.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC.]
He's stopping.
That's Lilly.
First aid to Dufferin Street, hurry.
How long are we gonna sit by and keep watching this happen? Bear Clan is a patrol, not the police.
[ENGINE REVVING UP.]
I'm just a suburban family man.
It's time to call up the bad dudes.
Taylor Taylor? Taylor, hey.
We shouldn't be doing this.
If my mom knew what my dad was up to, she might have protected me.
Taylor, this isn't what Bear Clan does.
Well then, you can wait in the van.
[KNOCKING ON DOOR.]

That's trespassing, hey.
Trust me, you don't want to go to jail.
[SOFT PIANO MUSIC.]
I'll go to that reunion.
You know it's in Millwood, right? Diane really wants me to go.
I didn't remember about your father I should have.
It isn't important.
- It is.
- I've grieved.
Today is just any other day.
No more rear-view mirror.
Just you and me, Crawford and Chang.
You know, if we're gonna make that party, we should leave "now-ish.
" On time isn't late, right? You drive fast.
Yeah, like the wind.
Then we have time.
Give me your patience Wanna feel your pain Give me me your patience Wanna feel your pain I need to make up next week's Bear Clan schedule; you're going out? Yeah, of course, I've gone all year.
You know you don't have to.
I went out when it was minus 40.
I thought you might want to take a break.
Look, Luna, I know that guy.
Mr.
Red Car used to work for my dad at Matheson Steel.
Why didn't you tell me? His family came over to our house for dinner.
I get it, Tay, but Bear Clan is nonconfrontational.
We can't follow people home; we're not vigilantes.
You could have put the whole organization in jeopardy.
What were you thinking? - All we've got to do - [INDISTINCT CHATTER.]
Is give a little yeah, give a little For a little love You gotta give a little love Oh, Joanna Hanley, pharmaceutical lawyer, I remember her.
I made a mistake.
So glad you could make it.
Ah, sorry about that.
No, it's fine.
It's just a slight identity crisis.
OK, mingle.
I have a surprise for her.
Come.
Come.
Come-come-come! - What is the surprise? - Aaah, it's more of a who.
Hey.
Kodie.
- In the flesh, baby! - You look If you say "the same," you are totally lying.
- [CHUCKLING.]
- No, you look great.
Yeah, for a recovering addict, single mother of two.
You're a big success, no surprise there.
I've been reading all about you.
I looked for you.
Yeah, well, I've been hard to find.
Some dark days, you know? [INDISTINCT SONG PLAYING.]
Now, there's a sight I miss.
Hey! Good to see you, my friend.
So, Kodie Chartrand.
Yeah, she's been back in town a few months.
Where has she been? All around.
Chartrands are still trouble - guns and drugs a pain in my ass, but Kodie's really cleaned up her life.
And Diane was so excited about getting them all back together again.
Those three used to torment me every recess.
Had to prove they were smarter than me, which they were, obviously.
- Everything alright? - Yeah, life's good.
You know I interrogate people for a living; I know when I'm being lied to.
You and Diane, it's always been easy for you.
You wanna know the secret to relationships? Fine.
The secret to an easy relationship is Diane.
Date Diane and at least one of you will have it all together.
I've been giving my brother money, probably - more than I should have.
- Alright.
- Joanna doesn't know.
- Get a little love Well, I come from a matriarchal society, so good luck with that.
- Thank you, pretty helpful.
- Yeah, yeah, anytime.

We've kept our campaign promise for smaller class sizes, daycare spaces, and 24-hour access to medical help through our MillHealth Help Line! - Yes! Yes! - [CROWD CHEERING.]

Sam Mercer is back.
He served his sentence, he's paid his debts, and no one can stop him from coming back to Millwood.
I'm gonna be keeping an eye on him.
- If he gets out of line - You can't harass him.
We all need to find a way to get along.
Get along with Sam Mercer? I'm not asking you to have him over for dinner.
Friends close, enemies closer.
And, Owen, it's a party, try to have some fun.
[INDISTINCT SONG PLAYING.]
That's Madison, she's 12, and this is True, she's 7.
That looks like a lot of work.
Yeah, they keep me on my toes, that's for sure.
Haha! - You don't have any kids? - Of course not.
Not that I am against them as a concept; it's just the idea of one growing in me.
Hmm Never? I have a very busy job.
These two are my busy job.
Greatest job in the world.
I highly recommend it.
[JOANNA CHUCKLING.]
Oh! And as much as I'm loving catching up, I really should get back to them.
Diane is supposed to drive me home.
Uh I had a DUI a few years back, but I'm totally sober now.
That's in my past.
Well, I can drive you.
No, you don't have to, it's fine.
No.
No, I want to.
Um, just give me a second.
[INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS.]
Hi.
You and Kodie aren't gonna terrorize me again? No.
We don't have recess anymore.
I'm just gonna drive her home.
A lot happened after you left, with her and her family.
You don't want to get involved with the Chartrands.
I'm just gonna drive her home and come back.
Just be careful, please.
OK.
I can take care of myself.
What do we do if the firm fails? - We start another one.
- I'm serious.
Look, failure isn't the end of the world.
- I don't fail, Billy.
- I know.
- Ever.
- I get it.
This is the first case I have ever lost.
You start losing as a lawyer, people stop calling.
- It's on your Google.
- Your Google is not a thing.
For good or bad, in law, your reputation is everything.
Well, then let's stop being lawyers this weekend.
That's who we are, that's in our DNA; we can't just turn that off.
We can try really try.
OK, I'll, um I'll be right back.
[INDISTINCT SONG PLAYING.]
I, uh, left in grade 11 and never went back.
- High school dropout.
- You were a great student.
You know, sometimes even better than you.
- Sometimes.
- [BOTH CHUCKLING.]
I went for a meeting with a guidance counsellor, and when I told him I wanted to go to college, he said, "Why bother?" I'm not making excuses.
There was also a handsome boy.
[JOANNA CHUCKLING.]
We ran away.
Always wanted to go back and finish, but then Madison came, lots of good things.
Lots of things I'd like to do over.
Yeah.
Me too.
Yeah, no kidding: you married Billy Crawford.
[BOTH CHUCKLING.]
- We are not married.
- [KODIE LAUGHING.]
Never thought he'd be a lawyer.
Yeah, he's full of surprises.
In a good way.
Wouldn't it be great to be 12 again? I missed you, Jojo.
You should come visit us in the city.
It's hard to get away.
I have a job I gotta hold onto.
But one day at a time, you know.
Yeah.
It's my house.
- What's going on? - I don't know.
My kids.
- You need to step back.
- What happened? - My kids are inside, I gotta - Ma'am, just calm down.
Your kids are safe.
- Step away.
Remain calm.
- True? True, baby, are you OK? - [TRUE.]
: What's happening? - I don't know.
Wait, what's going on? What are you doing with her? - True! - Mom! Madison! Maddie, Maddie, what happened? [INAUDIBLE SPEAKING.]
Maddie! Where are you taking them?! Let me talk to my kid! [KIDS CRYING.]
I'll be put in a family, she told me.
[WOMEN HARMONIZING.]
Stop! No! [WOMEN HARMONIZING.]
I need to see the logs.
I wanna know where everyone was tonight.
I wasn't informed there was a child-apprehension warrant.
Just a routine call from Family Services.
I'd like to be informed.
Under the old chief, we didn't do that.
That was the old way.
You're the boss.
It was Millwood PD.
They've been watching me.
They waited for me to be out.
The police? [DIANE.]
: Owen's the chief, it couldn't be the police.
This is Millwood Family Services.
I've dealt with them at the school.
The police have to attend all child apprehensions.
It says here there should be a hearing within a week.
A week? They take your kids if they believe they're in danger.
- They weren't in danger.
- Who was here with your kids? Madison.
But she's 12 going on 30.
It's legal to leave your kids with a 12 year old.
And I was only gone for an hour.
I know my Madison, they were safe.
They have to act on all complaints.
Who made a complaint? Madison broke her arm a while back.
It was an accident, she fell down the stairs.
I didn't do what people said I did.
They've made a mistake.
I've done everything right! [DIANE SIGHING.]
Maybe we can challenge it.
- Tonight? - [KODIE.]
: Please.
You're the best.
[DIANE.]
: She can do the impossible.
I was a transactional lawyer, corporate law, big deals, mergers and acquisitions, private offerings, securitized investments, I was good at it, I liked it.
I like credit derivatives and, to a lesser extent, commodity swaps.
They make sense to me.
I can do those deals, I can do them perfectly.
But a case like this families kid Just need a second.
[HYPERVENTILATING.]
Hey.
Hey, hey, hey, hey.
We can just go home.
I'll find you a nice credit-derivative case to work on.
Hey.
[SNIFFLING.]
No.
We go wake up a judge.
[KNOCKING ON DOOR.]
[FOOTSTEPS.]
- Can I help you? - Your Honour, Joanna Chang, Billy Crawford.
We would like to request an emergency order, to halt the unlawful apprehension of our client's children.
There'll be an hearing in a week, we can sort it out then.
No, without an emergency order, our client and her children will suffer permanent irreparable and immediate harm.
Ms.
Chang, I appreciate your verve, but there's no such thing as an emergency order - in a child-apprehension case.
- Your Honour You can't simply make up the law, Ms.
Chang.
The police and Child Services entered the home, and they removed the children forcibly in violation of their rights under section 8 of the Charter.
There's no charter protection from search and seizure in child-apprehension cases.
[SIGHING.]
Well, there should be.
The penalty can't come before the right to defend yourself.
Are you asking me to overrule a Supreme Court decision in a bathrobe? Well, it was wrongly decided, so yes.
If the seizure was unlawful, the hearing will address it.
- I'm going back to bed.
- But Those children can't be all alone.
I'll move up the hearing.
48 hours, that's the best I can do.
And you better be ready.
If your client loses at that hearing, she could lose her kids forever.
[DOOR CLOSING.]
The spare room's yours as long as you need it.
Just until my kids are home.
48 hours.
There'll be a hearing and then we'll have a chance to argue why you should get your kids back.
We shouldn't have to argue that.
It sounds crazy, but there is no absolute legal right to raise your own kids.
In this case, you are guilty until proven innocent.
I should get to work, figure out the case against you.
- We should all get some rest.
- I'm not tired.
I can't sleep.
- What if we lose? - Joanna won't lose.
[DOOR OPENING.]
Hello? Good evening, everyone.
Oh, this isn't good.
Looks like the attending officer was Tommy Heath.
One of Mercer's pals.
Yeah, they've been after my family for years, but Why are they targeting me? - Could they have done this? - It could be.
Sam Mercer is back in town, we need to be prepared for anything.
But there was an apprehension warrant.
"There was reasonable belief," "the children of Kodie Chartrand are at risk" "of serious and immediate harm," "due to parental neglect.
" I'm sorry.
I believe you.
We're gonna figure out who did this, and we won't stop until we get your kids back.
[SNIFFLING.]
What if none of it ever gets solved in the North End? Then, it's still worth trying.
Louis Riel said our people would sleep for a hundred years, but then we'd wake up.
A hundred years is a long time.
We have to play the long game.
How are you not angry all the time? Anger is about the past.
You can choose not to have it.
See? I don't agree with that because then you just push it deeper, but it's still there.
I'm going to bed.
I left the money for the Hydro bill on the counter.
Promise me if you walk with Bear Clan, you follow our rules.
Hmm.
[END OF MUSIC.]
So, we're staying? Just for 48 hours, I promise.
We should let someone else take this.
She needs us.
Our firm needs us.
It's important, it's just two days, and I owe her.
Why? She was there for me a long time ago, Billy.
Cat, hi.
Uh, no need to call me back.
Billy and I are away for a couple of days on a case.
And you are doing a good job.
Also, I need you to fire Rylan for me.
Thanks.
You're sure we're not just hanging out here 'cause we lost the trial? You've been pushing to go on summer vacation.
- This counts? - Yes.
We are out of the city.
On a child-apprehension case.
Our case, Kadra I didn't cross the line, and it cost us the trial.
We're lawyers, we are paid to win.
Nothing else matters.
That's Joanna Hanley talking.
I love you, Billy.
And I love you too whoever you are.
