Previously on allegiance...

Sergeant?

He's drinking -yeah.

Gabby's been put on indefinite leave.

Detective corporal zak kalaini, your new partner.

Is this you?

This is me.

I have access to the assistant crown's laptop.

Copy it.

You want to apologize

for taking advantage of my condition?

You have risked both of us being thrown into prison.

All charges against minister sohal

have been dropped.

I've gone over it from every angle, Sabrina,

there's no legal way to bring Campbell to justice

without also incriminating you and everyone involved.

Get on the ground!

Hey! Don't touch it!

Okay.

You want to walk out of here?

Then do exactly as I say!

I got short-listed on zoom,

and now I'm very short-listed in person.

I'm only hearing about this now?

I didn't want to jinx it.

So where's this interview?

It's... It's in your building.

Wait, what?

I'm interviewing

for the civilian investigations unit.

You want to be a civilian watchdog over me?

Not just you.

All of you.

I get to be the big sister for once.

If you screw up, I'll be there to call you on it.

That could really complicate things for me.

I thought you'd be happy.

I thought we were both up for police accountability,

especially for the assistant commissioner.

I am.

You know what, you're right, and I'm proud of you.

Well, I don't have the job yet.

I probably won't.

Silver lining is, when they say no,

Kyle's gonna say it's a sign

that I should move to Toronto with him...

You'll get it.

Be yourself, just not the self you are at home.

And don't make any aunty jokes.

There's been a spike of gang violence

in guildford the last 24 hours.

Brambilla?

Yeah, I'll pull officers in from the south end.

And finally,

I'd like to welcome back constable Doug gabinski.

Thank you, superintendent.

Yeah, I'm just gonna name

the elephant in the room.

I'm in recovery at the moment,

and I want to thank you all

for the opportunity to work by your side.

Okay. You're riding with me, Gabby.

You drive.

Giddy up.

All right, that's it, get out there and do good work.

Missing the uniform?

Something like that.

Well, we gotta go.

What's up?

Armed robbery.

Forensics are there already.

- Morning. - Morning.

Morning.

Sabrina, actually, can I...

Chat with you for a quick sec?

It's about that case.

Right... Two secs, I'll meet you at the car.

Yeah, just, I wanted to, consult with you

about whether you'd consider getting together with me,

after work?

"Getting together"?

Yeah, I don't know, thought maybe

it would be good idea to clear the air.

You know, somewhere not here.

Like... Maybe over dinner?

Sure.

I'll text you.

Bridal jewellery, watches, rings...

Which one's sunny?

This is our complete inventory... Sunny Yang?

Hi.

I'm detective kalaini, this is detective sohal.

Hi.

How are you doing?

I'm not doing great.

Been better, I imagine.

Do you mind if we ask you a few questions?

Okay.

The guys who came in here, they both had weapons?

- Shotgun, handgun? - Handguns.

And you didn't hit the store alarm?

They stopped me.

Did you get a good look?

No, it happened so fast.

They wore balaclavas.

Old school.

But you heard their voices?

One of them did all the talking.

He was aggressive.

He said he'd kill me if I didn't do what he wanted.

Any kind of accent?

How old were they, about?

Young, I think. 20s, maybe.

Both kinda athletic.

And do you remember what they were wearing?

They wore black gloves, the disposable kind.

They seemed professional,

like they knew exactly what they came for.

What was that?

They wanted the delabrean.

The what?

It's worth 25 grand.

It wasn't even on display.

We don't keep it out.

Ishaan sohal?

Ishaan, I'm Svetlana Peters.

I don't blame you for being nervous.

Am I nervous?

160 people applied for this position,

and it is down to you, and two other candidates.

To be honest, on paper,

none of us thought you'd make it this far.

This is my pep-talk?

I don't do pep-talks.

The panel members are waiting, Mr. Sohal,

so shall we?

The cameras are digital,

but the hard drive's gone.

They knew where to look for it.

Maybe they had the help of an insider?

Gillian?

Talk to me.

Can you see if fraud has a file on the store?

On it, as we speak.

- Morning. - Morning.

- Morning. - Degas said you needed hands.

Yeah, we're looking at two suspects, male, armed,

possibly 20s, balaclavas, athletic builds.

They could still be in the area.

Can you canvass the rest of the mall,

see if anyone saw anything

between 8:45 and 9:15 A.M.?

Yeah, I'll send a unit out there.

Right, these are the stolen items,

but the real target was the watch.

We'll check the pawn shops.

- Thanks, brambilla. - Yeah.

And... Constable gabinski, sir.

So... gabinski.

Yeah, he used to be staff sergeant.

Did his demotion have anything to do

with his kid trying to stab your dad?

Son of a cfpc officer tries to assassinate

the newly-exonerated minister of public safety?

Now, that is some very shakespearean shit.

Well, constable gabinski

had already been relieved of his duty by that time.

For?

Undisclosed reasons.

Mr. Yang, just a few follow-up questions...

Okay... Prince of pawn, two blocks west.

Haven't been sent on a canvass since I was a rookie.

How's all this sitting with you, Gabby?

In terms of what?

Everything.

Me in your old job.

Luke.

Taking orders from Sabrina.

Fastest promotion in the history of the force.

She's gonna be running that place

in a couple of years, right?

What?

Hey, look, I'm happy for the kid.

Okay?

It's not my time, Vince, I get that.

Not everybody gets a second chance,

so I'm going to bust my ass trying to earn mine.

Okay.

Mr. Liang.

Sir!

Please take a step back.

We understand that you're upset.

You're goddamn right I'm upset.

Mr. Liang, who else besides you

knew the delabrean was in the store?

Only my wife, and sunny.

My other clerk, I had to let him go a few months ago,

couldn't afford to pay him,

the rent I pay, the insurance...

We'll need his full name and contact information.

And some of my clients.

Customers who collect.

When I get a watch like that, I send emails.

Can't afford to hold it long.

We'll need that information as well,

anything that you might have.

I gotta get this.

Where's your wife, Mr. Liang?

At home.

- Any other family? - Two kids.

My daughter's away at university.

I'm sorry, I have to call my insurance company

to start the claim.

Please, by all means.

Great, thank you.

Kalaini?

You okay? Thank you.

Right, that was fraud.

So it sounds like creative goldsmiths'

been late on vendor payments.

They had to let an employee go.

"Desperate times..?"

"desperate measures."

Robbing his own store?

Maybe.

Let's get a hold of the ex-employee,

could be motive there as well.

And of course there's sunny,

maybe he's the inside man

who could have unplugged the hard drive.

I'm sorry, could you please repeat the question?

Some of the staff here think that with a sister on the force,

a father whose political portfolio oversees it,

that this is potentially a conflict of interest.

Funny,

I think that growing up entrenched in law enforcement

has given me a unique perspective, and a leg up

tell us about your military experience.

I, I completed basic training at camp borden,

went on to specialize at the cfig,

analyzing and disseminating

sensitive military intelligence

a real-life spy.

Not exactly.

I spent three years at the bprt,

Baghdad provincial reconstruction team,

navigating corruption, surviving in a pressure cooker

your father was charged with treason last year.

Those charges were dropped

how did the evidence that eventually cleared his name

come to light?

I'm not sure what you're...

The assistant commissioner

is leading an internal investigation

into how these events came about,

so, hopefully, we'll get answers

and full accountability soon,

not that I trust the cfpc investigating itself

not even with a sister

on the inside of that police force?

What are you suggesting?

Ishaan...

We're just not sure whether we can trust you.

Okay.

Thanks for your time, Ishaan.

You want to know if you can trust me?

Totally fair, but here's the thing, the ciu,

with all its good intentions,

is still an organization,

and if there's one thing that I've learned

is that every organization,

civilian, military, whatever,

is only as strong as the flawed, messed up,

vulnerable human beings involved.

So I guess my question is, can I trust you?

Thank you, Ishaan.

I'll call you end of day.

You got anything good for us?

Two pawn shops down, and no joy.

I'll let you know if the story changes.

Thanks, Vince.

Well, well, well, look what the cat dragged in.

Good to see you too, Keith.

Yeah, I heard you got suspended.

Can't keep a good man down.

I'm sorry, who are you?

This is staff sergeant brambilla.

I thought you were staff sergeant?

Yeah, well, I'm making a couple of changes in my life,

I'm in recovery at the moment, so

great, good for you.

You got some new pronouns, too?

Has anyone come in here looking to sell a delabrean?

That's funny you should ask.

Yeah, a guy came in.

I asked him to go away or come back with a coa.

- What did he look like? - 20-something.

I don't know, white.

Looked a little roughed up.

Can we take a look at your security footage?

Cameras aren't exactly popular with most of my customers.

Hey, I do got a nice casio

that might be in your price range.

Call Sabrina sohal... He's not interested.

Hey, Vince, what's up?

So, the thieves tried to pawn the watch,

but they don't have the coa.

The coa?

Certificate of authenticity.

You can't move a watch like this without it,

so our thieves are stranded.

Okay, hold on one sec. Hey, zak?

- Yup. - Check if Mr. Liang

has the coa for the delabrean?

Hey, how's it going with Gabby?

Fine. I miss my old partner.

Yeah, me too.

Has he said anything?

About?

About being back?

He seems solid.

Sohal.

I gotta go.

Stay safe out there.

Yeah, you too.

He keeps it in the safe at his family home.

That's smart.

Yeah. It's almost like he knew

someone was coming to Rob them.

Mr. Liang

we're going to need the coa for evidence.

Can you please give me your home address?

343 fleet wood.

911, what's your emergency?

There's a man in my house, he's wearing a mask.

343 fleet wood road!

Shut up!

Please... get down!

So... That lawyer from this morning.

Nate brugmann?

He's the assistant crown,

works a lot of the detachment's cases.

Is he cool?

Sure. I mean, he's good at his job.

Didn't he just lose that big treason case?

He didn't lose the case against my father.

It was thrown out.

There was an official cfpc apology.

It's all good.

Just getting the lay of the land.

All call.

Suspected intruder at 343 fleet wood road.

That's where we're going.

Alice liang, the owner of the house,

called 911 from the inside,

then the line went dead.

The thieves knew where the certificate was.

We're on our way.

Gillian, we're at fleet wood.

How far out is backup?

Three minutes.

Okay, tell them to hurry.

Okay, hold tight, okay?

Gillian?

Send me the number

that called from inside the house.

Texting it to you now.

Don't touch it!

Face down!

It didn't work! You gave me the wrong numbers!

I didn't, I promise

it better work this time, or I swear... 62-17-30.

Head in the pillows.

Don't move!

Any contact with the caller from inside?

No. No answer. We're getting concerned.

Command, where's our additional backup?

Nine minutes out.

Come on!

We can't wait.

Okay, let's go.

The safe's in the bedroom.

You two, take the rear exit, go now.

Shit.

Shit! Cops!

Get up!

Come on!

Hurry up! You do it!

Hurry up.

I'm-I'm almost there. I just need...

We don't have time!

Gabby, you take the stairs with sohal.

Here!

Yes.

I got it.

You've gotta get out of here!

- Police! Drop it! - Drop your weapons!

Don't move!

Drop the gun!

- Don't shoot, please! - Do it now!

Don't shoot! Don't shoot!

Mommy... Mom, it's me.

My god, that's my son. Don't shoot!

Don't shoot him!

Checking the back deck.

Back deck clear.

No sign of the suspects.

Roger. Area secure.

No sign of the suspect.

Moving back to the house.

Move!

Turn around.

Copy that.

Suspect's outside... second-floor window.

Police! Don't move!

Show me your hands!

Shit!

Hey! Hey!

- You good? - I'm good! I'm good!

One of the suspects has fled on foot,

heading west.

Got his backpack.

Open it up.

We've got the coa.

I've got his gun.

Which is a fake.

Tell me about the guns.

They're airsofts.

Where'd you get them?

Army surplus place on king George.

Robin... Help us understand.

Why would you do this to your own family?

What choice did I have?

It's not like I can go to them for the money,

they're not exactly supportive,

and I didn't think it wouldn't matter anyways

because dad would have the insurance or something,

but I forgot about the papers

wait a minute. Slow down.

Why did you have no choice?

Sebastian needed it today.

My boyfriend.

We need $25,000.

My god, it's all my fault... Robin, it's okay.

Just one thing at a time.

Why do you think it's all your fault?

I got him started on it last year, the gambling.

It was just for fun.

I mean, everyone was doing it,

and he was so good at it, too.

Yeah, like he was good at track.

He transferred here from Vernon to compete.

He's good at everything, basically.

He's so smart... About sports and stats,

and he was winning.

He just kept winning.

Till he wasn't... and he had to borrow.

Then he kept on coming close to winning,

and we were like, you know, just one last time, you know?

Maybe this time, maybe this time,

but he never hit.

And today his time's up,

and we don't have the money.

I'm going to lose him.

Who loaned him the money?

I don't know!

He wouldn't tell me, he was trying to protect me!

They already roughed him up really bad, a warning.

They said that this was our last chance,

that next time... you have to find him.

Please! I can't lose him.

Okay, thanks, Sabrina.

The kids were paying off a loan shark.

25 grand.

Who loans kids that kind of money?

I may know someone who can help us.

Turn left at the light.

Do you have any idea

where Sebastian meets with the people loaning him money?

You said everyone's into online gambling.

What about your friends at school?

Yeah, most of them.

Did any of them borrow like Sebastian did?

I don't know!

Robin...

You... you guys should talk to Carl hint on.

He's the one that got us started on all of this.

Okay, good.

Where can we find him?

Dean!

Wha-hey-hey!

Look who it is!

Dino!

You look good.

Yeah, and you're still a terrible liar.

- You want an Espresso? - No, I'm good, I'm good.

Come on, è delizioso, provalo... no, no, no

what's all this?

Can you believe it? I've gone legit.

Selling toys.

- Toys? - Yeah.

Yeah, yeah, the whole gambling game's gone online.

Hurt business?

Murdered it.

What about you?

You want a coffee?

No, I'm good.

Yeah, it's a whole different world.

My game's done, casinos are empty,

racetracks are bleeding money.

It's just not a social thing anymore.

Yeah, but people still have gambling debts.

Where would they go

if they needed to beg for a line?

Dino...

There's a shark out there that's targeting minors.

See what I mean?

In my day, there was a code.

Today... Tell me more.

I might've heard about a guy.

- All right, tell me. - He's new on the scene,

and by all accounts, he's a real psychopath.

Okay, what's his name?

He broke a kid's leg in Burnaby,

paralyzed him for only seven grand,

just to send a message.

What's his name, dino?

Or if you'd like, we can just book you.

For what?

Counterfeiting.

These "cozy stuffies" are obviously fakes.

Not good ones.

Going legit, my ass, dino.

Dino...

He goes by the name "dark horse".

What are you, stupid?

That job was your personal responsibility.

Now go fix it.

Now!

You're late.

Yeah.

I'm sorry.

Here.

It's a delabrean.

You brought a watch?

It's worth at least $20,000.

Where's the paperwork?

I've got it.

I mean, I know where it is.

I just... I need a few more hours,

and I was just hoping that the watch would be enough

to buy me some more time.

Stay here.

Excuse me,

have you seen this individual, Carl hint on?

Thanks.

How does a 17-year-old

even get in that deep, that fast?

When you're walking around with a 24-hour casino

in your pocket,

and every commercial during the game

reminds you of the excitement of winning?

Their brains aren't wired yet

for impulse control.

It's all about the amygdala.

Amygdala.

Wait, were you a geek in high school?

Excuse me, have you seen this guy? Carl?

You'll find him in the gym.

That way?

Thank you.

There isn't enough money in the world

to make me come back to my high school.

Really?

I would've pegged you as the star athlete,

popular kid.

Popular with the inside of a locker

you? Inside a locker?

What can I say?

I was a late bloomer.

I'm gonna do... A little bit over.

That's so high.

Carl hint on?

You mind?

We're in the middle of a hand here

I think she's telling you to fold, bro.

Okay.

Where's Sebastian weatherley?

He didn't come to school today.

He's in trouble.

Okay, well, that sucks for him,

but, I know my rights.

I've got the right to an attorney

if I can't afford one. I have the right to

give me your phone.

No, man, you need a warrant for that.

Tell you what, how about we play a hand of poker?

I win, I get access to your phone.

You win, I call your parents and tell them

you're involved in underage gambling.

I didn't do anything illegal.

What's in it for you?

I get a bonus

every player I refer to bet24, that's it.

What's this chat group? "Punter's paradise."

It's just a group chat for kids who like to play.

Poker, sports bets... The "kickback kid's" you?

I'm not a criminal.

Please don't call my parents.

Who's "freak went flyer"?

- What? - His name's all over this.

"Hit me up if you're short,"

"bro, I got you for 2k."

I never met freak went flyer.

I swear.

Whoa, what are you doing?

Nothing, but you are texting freak went,

looking for a loan.

What's Sebastian's handle?

It's "mythiqman," with a "q".

"Mythiq..."

He's all over this group chat.

Silverpine academy.

Parking lot in 15 minutes.

Another school.

What about my phone?

I'll bring this right back.

Sebastian!

What the hell is this?

It's... it's a delabrean.

You're supposed to bring me 25k in cash,

not a hot watch.

- But it's worth... - nothing!

What you're bringing me, Sebastian, is trouble.

I want my money, in full.

I don't have it.

Please just take this for now.

- No! - Leave it!

You knew today was your last chance.

I have the papers, okay?

I'll get you the papers,

I just need one more week.

No more weeks.

God. Please.

But I'm gonna give you some time to think.

- Put him in the trunk. - No...

No, please don't do it.

No, you don't have to do this.

Please, no! No, no, no, no!

No, no, please!

Please... No!

Freakwent flyer?

Shoot, my phone. Can you just

- you're coming with us. - Just...

Help!

Somebody!

Please!

A loan shark who goes by the name "dark horse".

You know him?

No.

Your phone records show text exchanges

referencing kids and drop-offs.

We traced the number back to a burner phone.

Yeah, well, you're not dealing with an amateur.

Mr. Palmerfield,

you recruit the students that you teach,

and you feed them to a mobster.

How do you sleep at night?

Look, I got my pressures, too.

Do you know how much a substitute teacher makes?

I had no other way to pay off my debt,

so you took a second job,

a side hustle, as a middle man?

Every client that I bring to him

they're not clients, they're children.

This "dark horse", what's his real name?

- I don't know. - Bullshit.

I don't, I've never met him. I've never had to.

Did you introduce Sebastian to dark horse?

Sebastian is in real danger.

- I can't... - did you hear what just I said?

We are talking about a 17-year-old boy.

He is out there right now!

I want my lawyer.

Get up.

Get up!

Take him to holding.

Help!

Somebody, please!

Anybody!

Anybody!

Help! I can't breathe! Help!

Gillian...

"Punter's paradise,"

that chat group we found on Carl's phone...

You want me to round up the students

and bring them in?

We want their parents.

We're looking for Sebastian weatherley.

Sebastian's life is in danger.

He owes $25,000

to a loan shark known as "dark horse",

and his time's run up to pay.

You're all here

because your children are part of the same group chat

as Sebastian,

and they might be clients of this man as well.

He offers loans with compounding interest.

Your kid might borrow $1,000 Monday morning,

and by Friday, it's $4,000.

The week after that, it's 12.

We need any information you have,

anything that can help us stop this man

before something happens to Sebastian,

and to help us protect your kids, too.

Has anyone here paid dark horse to bail out your child?

We encourage you to let us know.

Whatever you say here stays here,

you have our word.

My son, Jamie...

It... started during covid.

He missed his friends so much.

He asked me for my credit card one night

so he could play with them online,

50 bucks, it seemed harmless.

Then about a month ago, he came to me...

He broke down.

He said he needed $5,000,

or they were going to hurt him...

We met a man in a high-school parking lot.

He's a middleman.

His online handle is "freak went flyer".

A substitute teacher

with access to hundreds of vulnerable students.

This network is a serious crimes priority now...

Excuse me, can I have a word?

This is not a character flaw in your kids.

Addiction happens by design,

and gambling, I mean, it's become

an exponentially growing industry.

It feeds on peer pressure and isolation,

and hope.

Your son, does he know Sebastian?

He's never mentioned him.

And did you know that he was gambling?

Yeah, I knew he liked to put a couple bucks on the game.

And what about you?

Have you ever paid off a debt to dark horse

for your son?

No.

I... I introduced Ellis to it

to the gambling.

Go on.

My dad was a gambler.

So was his.

You know, they say it can skip a generation, but.

I owe dark horse 150k.

Not Ellis.

When my wife found out, she

she left,

and now I'm paying 10k a week to stay alive.

Do you know dark horse's real name?

No.

No, but I met him.

When you owe this much, they make a personal visit.

Do you still owe him the money?

Yeah.

Text him.

Tell him that you have it.

All of it.

Mr. Dean,

what if this was Ellis who was missing right now?

We will keep you safe.

I was starting to give up on you.

My luck turned.

I knew it would.

This, should clear the slate, I guess.

Where'd you get that kind of money?

I, I found another guy to stake me.

Got lucky on the panthers.

If any of this is trackable... it's... it's not.

Next time...

Your business stays with me.

Got it?

Yes, sir.

Out of the car!

Zak, I got a runner!

Hands on the wheel!

Stop!

Stop!

Where's Sebastian?

What have you done with him?

I'm not sure what you're talking about.

Tell me where he is.

Sebastian!

- Sebastian! - Sebastian, buddy.

- Sebastian, wake up! - We've gotta get him out.

One, two...

Sebastian?

Sebastian, can you hear us?

Come on, buddy.

Come on! Hey!

Come on! Come on!

Sebastian, come on, come on!

Hey!

Hey, buddy.

Hey... You're good.

I know it's hard to reconcile what Robin did,

but he's a teen, he's in love,

and he needs you,

and the better you are able to support Robin,

the better he'll be able to support his partner,

because right now, we just don't know

if Sebastian's own parents will be there for him.

I'm so sorry.

Don't.

I'm going to stop, okay? I'm going to get better.

I promise you, okay?

Okay.

I am... I am so sorry, for everything that I did.

I'm really sorry.

It's okay.

It's gonna be okay.

Plans for the evening?

Nothing much.

You?

I thought I'd hit the casino on my way home,

unwind a bit.

Actually, it's multiple attackers tonight.

What is that?

Special seminar,

with, knife, Baton, handgun scenarios.

Is that like a martial art?

It's not a martial art, or a competitive sport.

The real world is your arena.

There are no rules,

eyeballs and groin are fair game,

and you win by preparing for the worst and surviving.

Cool.

So you're basically conditioning yourself

to always see the worst in people.

No, to prepare.

Like lawyers do, but for deeds, not words.

Right.

Anyway, have a good night.

- Yeah, good night. - Bye.

High school wasn't a good time for him.

I talked to my boss,

pleaded leniency on grounds of extortion,

plus Sebastian is still a minor,

so I don't think he or Robin will see the inside of a cell.

Great.

We're getting the information out to the high schools,

reaching the kids upstream.

Good. That's great.

Meanwhile, it's business as usual

for gaming, gambling, media, tech...

Hey, that's above our pay grade, okay?

Are we, still on for tonight?

Yeah.

Okay, I better go by my office and change.

Okay.

Sohal?

Gabby.

How was your first day back?

It was outstanding.

Really, I love my job, and when will gets parole,

he'll have a stable home to come back to.

Okay.

And I know that you love your job, too.

Right?

I'm just saying that if the assistant commissioner

ends up being charged,

I think we'd both rather not be under the microscope

for our choices.

What do you mean?

I was at the bar

the night you closed the Fletcher file.

I saw you and the assistant crown... Celebrating.

You go home with the crown,

the next day, your father is exonerated.

I'm not judging you, Sabrina, really, I'm not.

We all do what we have to do, believe me,

and I have no desire to share that...

Conflict of interest.

It's just your career is really going places right now.

Mine's a little more precarious,

so I'll need your discretion.

Do we have an understanding?

Yeah.

I understand.

Come in.

Office of the crown attorney, can I help you?

Hey, what are you doing in my office?

I thought we were

you're having second thoughts.

Sabrina, let me just talk for a sec.

You know the whole breaking into my laptop thing...

The why you did, or did you have a choice,

I've thought about it all,

and the thing that I keep coming back to

is that I like you, Sabrina, a lot,

and I have for a while.

You know, at first I thought

maybe it was like a talent-crush,

but it's more than that, Sabrina,

it's the way you see people,

the way you fight, how you think,

I mean, how we think,

and how I can't stop thinking about you.

I think about you, too,

and I wish it was different,

but I can't.

We were seen that night going home together

the night before my dad's name was cleared,

and so now, even... The smallest...

Rumour of us together...

It could send us both to jail.

So we really... Yeah.

Right.

We can't take that risk.

Nice flowers.

Yeah.

Yeah, I thought they would go great with my office.

I'll see you at detachment.
