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.

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?

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?

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.

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!

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.

Stop it, stop it!

I only had a twenty!

V-R-O-2-2-9.

OK. Pull back.

Come here!

Come here! Get up!

Get your hands off me!

Taylor.

Hey, are you OK?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Joanna Chang.

"In the matter of Kadra Tabar
v. Langway Shipping"

"for wrongful death,"

"we find the defendant not liable."

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.

- 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?

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.

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.

I just... I fast-tracked

my undergraduate degree.
I'm gonna work for a year,

then I'm thinking about writing my LSAT

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.

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.

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.

That's trespassing, hey.

Trust me, you don't want to go to jail.

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.

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?

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.

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?

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.

Well, I come from
a matriarchal society,

so good luck with that.

- Thank you, pretty helpful.
- Yeah, yeah, anytime.

Welcome back,

Millwood High alumni.

Woo!

You know, I'm not just your mayor;

I'm also a former Millwood High
cheer captain. So I say

go, Bulldogs!

A big shout-out
to Principal Diane Evans

of the reunion committee.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

We are not married.

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?

- 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?

Maddie!

Where are you taking them?!

Let me talk to my kid!

I'll be put in a family, she told me.

Stop! No!

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?

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!

Maybe we can challenge it.

- Tonight?
- Please.

You're the best.

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.

Hey. Hey, hey, hey, hey.

We can just go home.

I'll find you a nice...

credit-derivative case to work on.

Hey.

No.

We go wake up a judge.

- 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
