Previously on "Diggstown".
Seriously, Doug?
I just don't want you to
get chewed up by some creep
twice your age.
LEAH: I've seen the woman you date.
Age ain't nothing but a number, eh?
We didn't raise you to be stupid.
MARCIE: Rolanda, you don't
want to go with him.
Why do you need a lawyer today?
TRUDY: Basil's from Jamaica.
He's a migrant worker
at Goldenview Fields.
These people are no good, Ms. Diggs.
MEL: Whatever this thing is
that you're holding onto,
you're gonna have to get real about it
or it will continue to eat at you.

NED: Psst, come on.
Get up.

MEL: Have you experienced more
dreams about your Aunt Rolanda?
Nothing in the last couple of weeks.
Since I told my mom about
MEL: Say it out loud.
It'll help.
MARCIE: About Rolanda's suicide attempt.
MEL: How does that feel?
Difficult.
MEL: Why do you think you have trouble
verbalizing your feelings about this?
MARCIE: I feel responsible.
You know, after what
happened at the beach,
I-I-I could have said something,
I could have done
I could have done things differently.
MEL: But you aren't responsible
for your aunt's actions, Marcie.
We can't control what others do.
When someone engages
in suicidal ideations,
the signs are often confusing.
One doesn't always know
what resources are available,
or what actions to take.
MARCIE: Yeah well
I should've done something.
You did do something.
In that moment,
you saved her.
Stop blaming yourself.
[MARCIE SIGHS]
I just keep thinking about my dad.
Like, what am I
God, what am I gonna say to him?
What is he gonna say to me?
Stop speculating.
Sit down with your dad.
Tell him the truth.

MARCIE: Hey Emily!
Sorry I'm late.
No worries, you're
doing me a huge favour.
Enough stuff at Howard's
to fill two houses.
Hey, Howard.
HOWARD: How you doing, Marcie?
Be gentle with my baby, okay?
Your baby?
So you guys are really doing this, huh?
I never thought I'd see the day
when you and your ex
would share a roof again.
Me neither.
But he needs a place here
when he's not travelling with his acts
and it's better for
both of us financially.
And the kids know that
Mom and Dad aren't
Yes, yes, yes!
They know Mom still likes girls, okay?
Okay. All right.
Look I gotta run,
but you coming to the show tomorrow?
Some of Howard's artists are performing.
I wouldn't miss it.
EMILY: Hey.
- HOWARD: I'm coming.
- Ms. Diggs!
Hey, uh, Trudy, right?
Your boyfriend is Basil.
Immigration issue.
You you guys were supposed
to see me yesterday.
Basil's gone.
We were supposed to
meet yesterday but he
He never showed.
I-I can't reach him.
He's just gone.
[MYSTERIOUS MUSIC]
TRUDY: Basil is desperate to leave
his job at Goldenview Fields,
but if he does he'll
get sent back to Jamaica
so we've been looking at different ways
to get him Canadian residency.
MARCIE: Goldenview?
Heard that name.
Isn't that the frozen veggie brand?
TRUDY: It's a megafarm owned
by the Clawford family.
Didn't one of their sons run for mayor
a few years back?
Brian.
When was the last time
that you spoke to Basil?
Two days ago.
He was supposed to meet
me yesterday morning,
but he never showed.
No calls, no texts, just nothing.
Has he ever done anything
like this before,
just stop responding?
No, never.
Alarm bells were going off for me
so I tried calling
Goldenview where he works,
but Ned wouldn't even
- Who is Ned?
- The foreman.
He completely brushed me off.
MARCIE: Alarm bells?
Why was that?
Um
Hey, if you want us to help you,
you have to tell us everything.
Basil's 18-year-old brother Desmond
came to work for Goldenview
for the first time this year.
Basil had done it four years running
and convinced him it was gonna
be a great way to make money.
But about a month ago,
Desmond died on the job.
What happened?
Ned had Desmond driving a tractor,
which he wasn't properly trained to do,
through the fields
and the tractor overturned into a ditch.
Basil didn't even get
to say goodbye to him.
I'm sorry, that sounds like a,
sounds like a terrible accident.
TRUDY: It wasn't an accident.
That child had no business
driving that piece of equipment.
The kid didn't even
have a driver's licence.
You know they waited an
hour to call an ambulance?
ELLERY: You're saying they
let the kid die?
MARCIE: And I'm guessing
Basil was asking way too many questions.
TRUDY: Basil was furious.
His little brother's death
was completely preventable.
He threatened to report Goldenview
to the Migrant Workers' Alliance.
Things are bad enough
for migrant workers.
Work shouldn't be a death sentence.
Well, it sounds like he may have
a wrongful death claim.
Did he go to the police?
A migrant worker going to the police?
Please.
Let's find Basil.
We'll start at the last place
we know he was for sure.
Goldenview Fields.
Thank you.
Well, here we have my desk.
Oh, receptionist.
- Ooh.
- And last but not least
Mini fridge.
- A mini fridge?
- Yes.
Avery, now that is impressive.
What can I say?
Have a seat.
So I spoke to Ona.
Okay.
She said the hold up with processing
the contact requests is normal.
It's to give the birth
parents time to file a veto
if they don't wish to be contacted.
I keep thinking this
wasn't the right call.
I mean, I had great parents,
a great childhood.
Seeking out birth parents
can bring up a lot of
complicated emotions.
It's just,
it's made me feel so isolated, you know?
Have you spoken to Marcie about it?
Yeah, Marcie's
She's got her own stuff
since the shooting.
Yeah.
Iris, I'm-I'm sorry.
I wasn't even thinking, I
That's okay.
Things with Cliff and I were new,
but I keep dwelling on
what could have been,
which kind of makes things worse.
Yeah, I get it.
He was a good man.
Yeah, he was.
Look, if you ever need an ear, I'm here.
I mean that.
Thanks.
So tell me more about
this mini fridge, please.
HOWARD: Halifax music scene
is on fire right now.
I just signed three new artists
in the last six months alone.
What kind of acts?
These two killer vocalists
and one amazing jazz pianist.
They'll all be at the show tomorrow.
VELMA: Ooh, great.
Dad, can I get these?
You know you spoil these kids.
Am I spoiling them or am
I loving them too much?
And is, is there such a thing, Velma?
Always good with words.
Got enough money yet?
MICHAEL: Yep.
I'm so glad you and Emily
are giving this another go.
Sharing the same roof?
Yeah, well, me too.
Nice having everybody
together again and so far,
it's working out pretty well.
Good man.
MICHAEL: Thanks a lot.
VELMA: Thank you.
You're welcome.

Hi, I'm Marcie Diggs.
I represent Basil Allen,
one of your workers.
Is he here?
Ned Flores, grounds manager.
Sorry you made it all this way but
Basil Allen ran off.
What do you mean ran off?
It happens a lot with migrant workers.
We bring 'em here on contract,

DOUG: The space looks incredible.
MICHELLE: It exceeds my wildest dreams.
DOUG: Don't you get any ideas
about the wedding now.
The second time around
is supposed to be more intimate, dummy.
[DOUG CHUCKLES]
MICHELLE: I'm still so grateful
to Viv for her donation.
Well, she puts her money
where her mouth is.
About that,
I heard about Eskasoni.
Viv wants to move forward immediately.
That's great news!
Yeah.
I'm sensing a but here.
I'd have to do it on my own.
Leave Marcie's firm.
Yeah.
This has been a dream of yours
for as long as I've known you.
DOUG: Well Viv sees something in me
if she's giving me an
opportunity like this.
Marcie would want you to do this.
Seriously.
Douglas, these are all good things.
For us,
for the community,
for you.
[SOFT DRAMATIC MUSIC]
MARCIE: Okay, if we're gonna
work together,
you have to listen to me.
Ned's the one who does their dirty work.
He was the one who
wouldn't call the doctor
the night Basil's little brother died.
Trudy, I know how you feel, I really do.
He was lying!
Okay, Basil wouldn't just run off.
Basil told Cruz he was
gonna make a complaint to
Wait, who's Cruz?
He's another migrant worker,
someone Basil considered a friend.
But Cruz betrayed him
and went straight to Ned.
Basil confronted him about it
and the two just got into a huge fight
and it just got really ugly.
Okay, can we talk to him?
I think he got sent to PEI.
PEI?
TRUDY: They've got farms across
all four provinces.
Now Cruz manages the private
home where the parents live.
Iris, you got a second?
What's up?
MARCIE: I need some background
on a company,
Goldenview Fields.
The salad bag company?
MARCIE: I want to know
about that company.
I want to know about the family.
Any complaints, scandals, you name it.
On it.
MARCIE: Ellery, can you go to
PEI to the family estate?
See if you can get Cruz to speak to you.
Great.
Let's hope I don't end
up in jail again.
Fingers crossed.
[SOFT DRAMATIC MUSIC]
[KNOCKING ON DOOR]
Bad time?
Define "good time."
Basil Allen?
Iris told me.
Wading through the web
that is Goldenview Fields.
Ah, the Clawfords.
Self-made,
just shy of the billionaires club.
You're going up against them?
MARCIE: It's too soon to tell, but
I don't know, something
just doesn't feel right.
DOUG: So, um, Vivian wants to get moving
on the Eskasoni legal clinic.
Separate from the firm.
So you're leaving?
I'm considering it.
It's a huge opportunity.
It is. Yeah.
Boy, she's smart.
Dismantling the firm from the inside.
This isn't about that.
Isn't it?
Of course.
I'm sorry, yeah, it's-it's about you.
MARCIE: You have to admit the timing
is a little convenient,
don't you think?
I can't believe we're
having this conversation.
You really can't fathom
that this is about Vivian
acknowledging that I can lead?
[TENSE DRAMATIC MUSIC]

Of course it was.
My life was settled,
Marcie, it was good.
It's just now everything
feels unsettled and weird.
Marcie, I know you asked

Are you Cruz Diaz?
My name is Ellery Lopez
I already know who you are.
They would like to speak to you.
[DARK MYSTERIOUS MUSIC]
Hello?
LESTER: Ms. Lopez,
welcome to the island.
Who is this?
LESTER: Lester Larocque.
We understand you have some questions
regarding Mr. Diaz and his
relationship to Basil Allen.
Mr. Diaz would like any
communication run through our office.
We're on Prince Street.
Why don't you come in
and we'll have a chat?
Ms. Lopez, glad you could join us.
Let's forego the niceties,
you obviously know why I'm here.
I'm looking for a migrant
worker, Basil Allen.
Andrea? What are you
ANDREA: I'm not happy about this either.
I'm in the middle of five
real estate closings.
Take it up with Brian.
- Nice hair.
- Fine, just have a seat.
ANDREA: Please. Continue.
Where were we?
Your missing employee, Basil Allen.
Right. Well Ms. Lopez,
we have some information for you.
What are these?
LESTER: Basil Allen's emails,
text messages.
Invasions of his privacy?
ANDREA: Employees have no
expectation of privacy
if the correspondence was
happening on company devices.
His personal cellphone
isn't a company device.
LESTER: It recently came
to our attention
that Mr. Allen has been attempting
to change his immigration status.
He had been conducting
online relationships
with multiple women in
the hopes of marrying one
to fast track his Canadian residency.
It's our belief that
he finally succeeded
and ran off with one of these women.
PROCESS SERVER: You sure about this?
VIVIAN: Yes, absolutely certain.
PROCESS SERVER: Okay.
Make sure it's done by
the end of the week.
I don't want to be where I'm not wanted.
PROCESS SERVER: Okay.

- Hold on.
Oh, I have to take this.
Doug! I was just about to call you.
Dinner tonight, my place?
I have a special surprise for you.
Thank you.
Clawford's lawyer produced evidence
that Basil was pursuing
romantic relationships
to secure himself Canadian citizenship.
I'm sorry but,
I don't think you were the
only woman in his life.
I was his only real relationship.
He didn't love any of the others.
Wait, you knew about this?
It was the fastest way for
him to get citizenship.
Why didn't you marry him then?
I'm already married.
[MARCIE SIGHS]
My ex and I we just,
we couldn't afford a divorce.
[PHONE CHIMING]
It's a text from Basil.
"I'm being taken on a truck,
I don't know where.
May not make it to
the meeting tomorrow."
MARCIE: Wait, tomorrow?
We were supposed to meet two days ago.
[OMINOUS MUSIC]
I'm feeling this look for you.
I haven't even taken off the tags yet.
I honestly don't think
I can take another one

It's good to see you too.
So did you get the information
I sent you about the phone?
Well, based on Basil Allen's
phone records,
he was in Halifax when he sent the text.
I mean, that tracks.
However, when we triangulated
his latest cellphone signal
to the nearest cell tower,
the coordinates came from Newfoundland.
- Newfoundland?

Yeah.
So how's your family?
They're fine. They're good.
I've been avoiding my dad.
Why?

Dad, enough.
So I'm an old man who
believes in second chances.
Okay, Austin.
Well, at least there'll be one
decent son-in-law in the family.
Drinks?
I'm gonna grab a soda.
MARCIE: Yeah, that'd be great.
Hey, you okay?
You bet.
How's things in Winnipeg?
It feels nice to start
new someplace else.
No baggage.
Hmm.
Glad you're happy.
I am.
Speaking of baggage, are you and Mom?
Is this really happening?
You're right.
I'm the last person who should judge
someone else's relationship choices.
Water under the bridge.
You were right though.

I want to apologize.
I've had a long time to reflect and
I shouldn't have said what I said.
It wasn't fair to you.
So you're interested in
working at the clinic?
Oh, absolutely not.
I couldn't turn down a
free ticket to Halifax.
Ahh.
Plus, I know you hate surprises

gonna go through with this?

So I've been having these, uh, dreams
about the Dominican trip

You know, at first,

I was having these dreams,
but then my therapist told me
that it was because of the shooting.
It-it brought up all of
these buried memories
and I remembered
That Rolanda wasn't

She tried to take her life on that trip.
And I knew and I didn't tell you.

There were other times, other attempts.
When Ro was younger,
I knew there was an issue.
We tried to get her help but the
folks weren't having it.
Didn't want people in

I still feel guilt
wondering if I could have
done more.
I should have told you.
I just loved her so much, dad.

Well, Melanie won't make the wedding.
She's stuck in Australia.
Ah, that's too bad.
It is!
And I never thought I'd
say that about my sister

Old drama's still drama
and this wedding has to
go off without a hitch.
Speaking of that,
which of these invitation
samples do you prefer?
Aren't they the same?
Unhelpful!
I need to make up my mind here.
Relatable.
Eskasoni?
Full steam ahead, office is packed.
Although I'm starting to regret it.
Because of Viv's Leah stunt?
She pitched leadership to me,
taking the reigns, autonomy.
But it felt like she was working me.
I didn't like it.
So you're afraid that
Marcie might be right?
That Vivian's just
chasing you to hurt her?
Don't worry about Vivian's motives.
What do you want?
I don't want to choose between
my community and Marcie.

your community's always been with you.

Basil Allen has been missing for days
and instead of giving us answers,
your entire operation has closed ranks.
I assure you that this is
nothing but a misunderstanding.
MARCIE: Well then I'll ask
you once more.
Where is Basil Allen?
I'll look up his file so we
can clear up this matter.
Oh right, here it is.
[KEYBOARD CLACKING]
Hmm.
[OMINOUS MUSIC]
[KEYBOARD CLACKING]
BRIAN: Right.
There seems to have
been a clerical error
and Mr. Allen was transferred
to our Newfoundland farm by mistake.
You know you're not supposed
to move migrant workers
from their initial
location of employment.
I'm well aware of the rules
of the program, Ms. Diggs.
As I said, it was an error.
Easily fixed.
I'll have him back in
Nova Scotia by this evening.
NED: Brian.
Ned.
Thanks for stepping in again last night.
That's been bubbling up for some time.
Still can't believe you
punched Avery in the face.
How come you never punched this one
when we were going through it?
Anger is like a poison.
My therapist says you gotta
let it out when it comes.
If you bottle it up
sooner or later you burst.
And burst I did.
You go to therapy?
I did a while back,
you know, self-care
or whatever the millennials
are talking about these days.
Well it did you good.
I gotta hit the washroom.
BARTENDER: Here you go, gentlemen.
AUSTIN: I'll get this.
You sure, Mr. Diggs?
You got in the way of a fist from me.
Least I can do is get lunch.
Thanks.
Hey, can you give me a sec?
I just want to check in with
Ava about tonight's show.
Of course, do your thing.
HOWARD: Hi.
Alright?
You're gonna do that duet from,
the one that we talked about, right?
Yeah. Okay 'cause that's my favourite.
I mean, you know that's my favourite.
[AUSTIN SIGHS]
[TENSE DRAMATIC MUSIC]
HOWARD: So how is my
favourite chanteuse?
AVA: Right as rain, baby.
HOWARD: Yeah? [LAUGHS]
So I'm just thinking
Everything okay?
Don't disrespect my daughter.
That-that isn't
That's not anything.
Oh I know exactly what it is
because I've been in your position and
Y'all ready?
Sure thing.
Thanks again, Mr. Diggs.

Hey, do you guys have a lost and found?
I was on a boat about a week ago

We do.

Fair enough.

AVERY: How'd it go?
MARCIE: It was good. Needed.
AVERY: Well did he apologize?
It wasn't the "thrilla on agricola".
I mean, it was
It was about Rolanda.
Oh? Okay.
There are things about my aunt that were
unclear until now.
About her mental health.
She was struggling with depression
and, um, there had been
other suicide attempts.
Just before I brought her into M&M,
just before she met you,
she, um
She actually tried to kill herself.
And I didn't tell anyone.
I just thought
I thought it'd been the only time but
[MARCIE SIGHS]
MARCIE: Just knowing all of this
It's freeing.
Marcie, I always had a different
impression of her death.
The way it played out.
And that's partially me.
I was angry.
I needed someone to blame.
But none of us are
responsible for her death.
Yeah.
Yeah, well I'm happy for you.
I'm happy you figured this out.
Yeah.

Déjà vu.
I figured you'd be in Eskasoni.
Forgot to give you something.
Open it.
Now the cardstock's linen,
which I've been told is important.
I wasn't as supportive
as I could have been.
I just, I-I wanted you to feel
like this was your firm, too.
I do.
That's why I want to do
the legal clinic here
at MDA with you.
Are you sure?
DOUG: Yeah, I'm sure.
Anyway, I got a stack
of files on my desk
the size of a large toddler so.

Thank you.

Hey, it's me.
Ellery's on the line too.
What do you got?
I think I found Basil's phone case.
Jamaican flag, Corinthians quote?
No phone though.
Yeah, someone probably stole it.
IRIS: I put a scare into the
guy at the charter house.
So if anyone has it,
I'm sure they'll turn it in.
Not likely. They would get rid of it.
IRIS: Great. So back to zero?
MARCIE: No, just the fact that
the case was there
proves that he was on that boat.
And then disappeared some time after?
There is more here than meets the eye.
Oh no, guys.
MARCIE: What's up?
I think I found him.
[OMINOUS MUSIC]
What happened?
Did you find him?
The authorities found a body
that washed up on the coastline of PEI.
They confirmed the identity.
It's Basil.
[SOBS] No, it's not, no.
No, I don't, I don't believe it.
MARCIE: They suspect that he
fell off the boat,
that they were ferrying migrant
workers to Newfoundland.
No, no, it's not him.
I'm so sorry, baby.
[SOBBING]
I promise you
we are going to find out
what happened to him.
We are gonna find out exactly
what happened to him.
