Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:33,517 --> 00:00:35,207
Mm hmm.
-Still got it.
2
00:00:35,275 --> 00:00:36,685
Oh yes you do.
3
00:00:38,793 --> 00:00:40,173
Wow, looks like someone's
house is on fire.
4
00:00:40,862 --> 00:00:42,692
Honey, that's our house!
5
00:00:46,034 --> 00:00:47,484
Marj, Marj, stay in the car!
6
00:00:47,517 --> 00:00:49,067
Stewy! Stay back, Stewy!
7
00:00:49,137 --> 00:00:51,207
My name is Stewy Brooks,
my house is on fire!
8
00:00:51,275 --> 00:00:53,335
1552 Johnson Road, hurry!
9
00:00:53,379 --> 00:00:54,759
Stewy, stay back!
10
00:00:55,517 --> 00:00:57,067
Our house, our house!
11
00:00:59,482 --> 00:01:00,932
Oh my god.
12
00:01:00,931 --> 00:01:02,071
Come on.
13
00:01:02,103 --> 00:01:03,243
That's enough!
14
00:01:04,586 --> 00:01:05,756
Charlie!
15
00:01:07,827 --> 00:01:08,927
Over here on the side.
16
00:01:08,931 --> 00:01:09,861
Right here!
17
00:01:09,862 --> 00:01:11,072
Honey, get away from there,
18
00:01:11,103 --> 00:01:12,073
get away from there!
19
00:01:44,586 --> 00:01:45,926
I know that may be
what you think,
20
00:01:45,931 --> 00:01:48,591
but it's not your
grandmother's land.
21
00:01:48,620 --> 00:01:49,550
Never was and
never will be.
22
00:01:49,586 --> 00:01:50,756
My grandma said
23
00:01:50,827 --> 00:01:52,067
you and your husband
gave it to her.
24
00:01:52,103 --> 00:01:54,243
As a place to
keep her trailer!
25
00:01:54,275 --> 00:01:55,405
So she'd have
a home!
26
00:01:55,413 --> 00:01:56,863
Hey.
27
00:01:57,586 --> 00:01:58,546
Is everything okay?
28
00:01:58,586 --> 00:01:59,516
Everything's fine.
29
00:01:59,551 --> 00:02:01,341
This young man's just
got the wrong idea.
30
00:02:01,344 --> 00:02:03,144
Listen, I don't
want a fight.
31
00:02:03,172 --> 00:02:04,242
Grandma paid
the taxes,
32
00:02:04,275 --> 00:02:06,065
she took care of
the maintenance.
33
00:02:06,896 --> 00:02:08,656
And the bank allowed her
34
00:02:08,689 --> 00:02:10,479
to take a mortgage
out on the property.
35
00:02:13,517 --> 00:02:14,477
I'm telling you right now,
36
00:02:14,517 --> 00:02:16,617
if I see your guys
tearing up this land,
37
00:02:16,655 --> 00:02:17,965
I'll be calling
the police.
38
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:19,380
Okay, uh, you
need to go.
39
00:02:20,172 --> 00:02:21,342
Thank you.
40
00:02:21,413 --> 00:02:22,593
You try to do good.
41
00:02:24,172 --> 00:02:25,282
Most of you at this office
42
00:02:25,275 --> 00:02:26,995
are used to a relative
amount of freedom.
43
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:28,170
You swap case files,
44
00:02:28,241 --> 00:02:30,341
you start working
on client files
45
00:02:30,344 --> 00:02:32,664
before the vetting
process is complete.
46
00:02:32,689 --> 00:02:35,829
You make ethical judgments
that compromise this office.
47
00:02:36,896 --> 00:02:38,026
No more.
48
00:02:38,034 --> 00:02:39,834
I shouldn't have to tell
you how to conduct yourself
49
00:02:39,896 --> 00:02:40,826
in a professional manner,
50
00:02:40,862 --> 00:02:43,342
but just so there's
no misunderstanding,
51
00:02:43,344 --> 00:02:45,314
if you act in a manner
that puts yourself,
52
00:02:45,344 --> 00:02:47,974
or this office into disrepute,
53
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:50,030
you will no longer
work in this office.
54
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:52,140
Period.
55
00:02:53,172 --> 00:02:54,312
It shook me.
56
00:02:55,241 --> 00:02:59,141
Seeing all that
flame and smoke.
57
00:03:00,344 --> 00:03:02,694
It felt like my world
was coming to an end.
58
00:03:02,724 --> 00:03:05,414
Mr. Brooks,
in your statement,
59
00:03:05,482 --> 00:03:08,902
you said that you
saw a white woman
in a red hoodie
60
00:03:08,965 --> 00:03:10,445
racing from the fire.
61
00:03:11,758 --> 00:03:12,658
Do you see that woman
in this courtroom?
62
00:03:12,689 --> 00:03:14,029
Mhmm.
63
00:03:15,724 --> 00:03:16,664
She's right
over there.
64
00:03:16,827 --> 00:03:18,967
Let the record show
that Mr. Brooks
65
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:20,000
pointed to
the defendant.
66
00:03:20,758 --> 00:03:22,138
No further questions,
Your Honour.
67
00:03:22,689 --> 00:03:24,029
Ms. Diggs?
68
00:03:24,068 --> 00:03:26,898
Has Wingrove Insurance
paid out your claim?
69
00:03:26,965 --> 00:03:28,375
Objection. Relevance?
70
00:03:28,413 --> 00:03:30,553
I'm getting there,
Your Honour.
71
00:03:30,586 --> 00:03:32,546
Let's make it
a short road,
Ms. Diggs.
72
00:03:33,172 --> 00:03:34,452
Answer the question.
73
00:03:36,551 --> 00:03:37,971
No, they have not.
74
00:03:38,413 --> 00:03:40,033
Have they asked if
you set the fire?
75
00:03:40,448 --> 00:03:41,658
No.
76
00:03:41,689 --> 00:03:42,899
Have they asked if you
had the opportunity
77
00:03:42,965 --> 00:03:44,405
to start the fire?
78
00:03:44,413 --> 00:03:46,933
Isn't it true that
your insurance claim
79
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:49,210
hasn't been paid out
because Wingrove Insurance
80
00:03:49,241 --> 00:03:50,691
is considering that you
81
00:03:50,724 --> 00:03:53,244
may have set your home
on fire for the payout.
82
00:03:53,310 --> 00:03:54,170
So hold up,
83
00:03:54,206 --> 00:03:55,686
this white girl sets
my home on fire,
84
00:03:55,724 --> 00:03:57,904
and I'm the one being
treated like a criminal?
85
00:03:58,724 --> 00:04:02,384
What happened to my family,
my community,
86
00:04:03,482 --> 00:04:04,722
that there is a hate crime.
87
00:04:04,758 --> 00:04:06,518
You're the hate crime.
88
00:04:08,068 --> 00:04:09,478
Settle your client, Ms. Diggs.
89
00:04:09,482 --> 00:04:10,692
Yes, Your Honour.
90
00:04:11,448 --> 00:04:12,718
Mr. Brooks,
91
00:04:12,758 --> 00:04:15,968
did you see my client
holding a molotov cocktail?
92
00:04:17,137 --> 00:04:20,067
No, but the police
found her hoodie
93
00:04:20,103 --> 00:04:21,663
with traces of gasoline.
94
00:04:21,724 --> 00:04:23,764
Objection, Your Honour.
Non-responsive.
95
00:04:23,793 --> 00:04:24,973
I'll ignore it.
96
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:27,790
In fact, all you saw
was a woman on a bike
97
00:04:27,827 --> 00:04:30,517
in the aftermath of the fire,
isn't that correct sir?
98
00:04:30,551 --> 00:04:32,621
I know it was her.
99
00:04:32,689 --> 00:04:33,759
You do?
100
00:04:39,137 --> 00:04:41,547
How do these three women
differ from who you saw?
101
00:04:42,034 --> 00:04:43,594
Objection!
102
00:04:43,689 --> 00:04:46,479
Ms. Diggs, I did not allow
these stunts in family court,
103
00:04:46,482 --> 00:04:48,452
and I will not
allow them here.
104
00:04:48,482 --> 00:04:50,312
Are you done with
the witness?
105
00:04:50,379 --> 00:04:51,549
Yes, Your Honour.
106
00:04:55,310 --> 00:04:56,590
At her last shelter,
107
00:04:56,620 --> 00:04:57,550
the boyfriend
shows up,
108
00:04:57,586 --> 00:04:59,136
sends her to the
hospital with a
split lip
109
00:04:59,206 --> 00:05:00,406
and a concussion.
110
00:05:00,448 --> 00:05:02,378
And that wasn't enough
to get his bail revoked?
111
00:05:02,379 --> 00:05:04,549
That's how we
got the no
contact order!
112
00:05:04,551 --> 00:05:06,521
This guy is a
capital C creep.
113
00:05:06,517 --> 00:05:07,517
Hey!
114
00:05:07,586 --> 00:05:08,546
Hey!
115
00:05:08,620 --> 00:05:10,000
Hi Iris, Pam.
116
00:05:11,827 --> 00:05:13,827
Um, Colleen, I just
wanted to follow up
117
00:05:13,862 --> 00:05:14,972
on the meeting
from this morning.
118
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:18,280
So, is that friends
and family jump the
queue thing
119
00:05:18,310 --> 00:05:19,520
still a thing?
120
00:05:21,827 --> 00:05:23,277
Never mind.
121
00:05:24,517 --> 00:05:26,027
How's your plate?
122
00:05:26,103 --> 00:05:26,863
I was just telling Pam,
123
00:05:26,896 --> 00:05:27,966
I'm trying to
find a shelter
124
00:05:28,034 --> 00:05:30,524
for one of my
domestic violence
clients and her kid.
125
00:05:30,551 --> 00:05:32,661
I'm waiting for a
callback from the
MacAdam House.
126
00:05:32,689 --> 00:05:34,169
You should call Ona Reeves.
127
00:05:34,206 --> 00:05:35,656
I think she ran
the MacAdam House
128
00:05:35,689 --> 00:05:37,029
before she moved to Halifax.
129
00:05:37,103 --> 00:05:37,833
Thanks!
130
00:05:37,862 --> 00:05:39,212
I totally forgot that.
131
00:05:39,275 --> 00:05:40,475
Happy to help.
132
00:05:41,068 --> 00:05:43,068
From what we've been
able to determine,
133
00:05:43,137 --> 00:05:46,167
the fires were caused by a
homemade molotov cocktail.
134
00:05:46,206 --> 00:05:47,446
Did you find any
common elements
135
00:05:47,482 --> 00:05:48,932
in the three fires?
136
00:05:49,034 --> 00:05:51,214
Each of the burns was
caused by the same accelerant,
137
00:05:51,275 --> 00:05:52,685
same ignition source,
138
00:05:52,758 --> 00:05:54,208
a similar level
of damage.
139
00:05:54,275 --> 00:05:55,515
So what you're
saying, Inspector,
140
00:05:55,551 --> 00:05:58,101
is that there's a
pattern to these fires.
141
00:05:58,137 --> 00:05:59,337
It would seem so.
142
00:06:00,206 --> 00:06:01,476
Thank you.
143
00:06:01,931 --> 00:06:03,591
A pattern?
144
00:06:03,620 --> 00:06:07,450
But would this
pattern suggest
arson or mischief,
145
00:06:07,448 --> 00:06:09,278
considering the amount
of damage that was done?
146
00:06:09,275 --> 00:06:11,165
I can't testify to
what was in the head
147
00:06:11,206 --> 00:06:12,896
of the fire starter.
148
00:06:12,931 --> 00:06:14,411
The shingles on the houses
149
00:06:14,448 --> 00:06:16,788
were made from fire
resistant asphalt.
150
00:06:16,793 --> 00:06:18,863
Isn't it possible that
whoever set the fires
151
00:06:18,896 --> 00:06:20,406
was aware of that?
152
00:06:20,413 --> 00:06:21,793
It's possible.
153
00:06:21,827 --> 00:06:24,617
Which would mean it's
possible the assailant
154
00:06:24,689 --> 00:06:27,789
did not intend for the homes
to be seriously damaged,
155
00:06:27,862 --> 00:06:30,902
as the molotov cocktails were
thrown against the houses
156
00:06:30,931 --> 00:06:32,311
and not through the windows.
157
00:06:32,379 --> 00:06:34,899
You're asking me to
speak to state of mind.
158
00:06:34,931 --> 00:06:37,071
Once again,
I can't answer that.
159
00:06:40,206 --> 00:06:41,586
We were just doing a
favour for someone
160
00:06:41,620 --> 00:06:43,280
who'd fallen on hard times.
161
00:06:43,344 --> 00:06:45,244
Clara had dedicated
most of her life
162
00:06:45,275 --> 00:06:47,095
to our church community.
163
00:06:47,172 --> 00:06:49,282
It wasn't right that
she ended up homeless.
164
00:06:49,275 --> 00:06:51,925
So we let her put up
a trailer on our land.
165
00:06:51,965 --> 00:06:54,585
It wasn't our intention
to give the land to her.
166
00:06:55,448 --> 00:06:56,618
Isn't that right, Austin?
167
00:06:56,689 --> 00:06:58,789
She was there for a
long time though.
168
00:06:58,793 --> 00:06:59,863
I can see where the
confusion comes-
169
00:06:59,896 --> 00:07:01,446
Can you?
170
00:07:01,482 --> 00:07:02,832
I can't.
171
00:07:02,862 --> 00:07:05,832
Well, Clara had dementia
in those final years.
172
00:07:06,172 --> 00:07:07,482
Who knows what happened?
173
00:07:07,517 --> 00:07:08,477
Exactly.
174
00:07:08,517 --> 00:07:10,237
Listen, let me dig
into this a little,
175
00:07:10,275 --> 00:07:12,475
look up the laws on
squatter's rights,
176
00:07:12,551 --> 00:07:13,661
adverse possession,
177
00:07:13,655 --> 00:07:16,165
and I'll get back to ya.
178
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:21,620
Thank you so much, Wendy.
179
00:07:21,655 --> 00:07:22,965
Iris.
180
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:24,140
Hey!
181
00:07:24,172 --> 00:07:26,762
Were you looking for me or
is this a happy accident?
182
00:07:26,793 --> 00:07:28,523
You know I don't
believe in no accidents.
183
00:07:28,517 --> 00:07:30,477
Girl at your office said
I might catch you here.
184
00:07:30,551 --> 00:07:31,761
What do you need?
185
00:07:31,965 --> 00:07:34,305
I've, uh, got a
little situation
186
00:07:34,344 --> 00:07:36,314
with one of the
kids at school.
187
00:07:36,344 --> 00:07:37,834
More the parents
than the kid,
188
00:07:37,827 --> 00:07:39,657
and they're intent
on making a fuss.
189
00:07:39,689 --> 00:07:40,619
They're trying
to get me fired.
190
00:07:40,655 --> 00:07:41,715
What did you do?
191
00:07:41,758 --> 00:07:42,828
What did I do?
192
00:07:42,896 --> 00:07:44,306
Hm, lord.
193
00:07:45,034 --> 00:07:47,484
The kid can't sing and
they don't wanna hear it.
194
00:07:47,551 --> 00:07:48,481
That's what happened.
195
00:07:48,551 --> 00:07:49,481
Why are you blaming me?
196
00:07:49,551 --> 00:07:50,661
I'm not, Mom.
197
00:07:50,689 --> 00:07:53,829
Anyway, I need to know if
I can have a quick talk
198
00:07:53,862 --> 00:07:55,692
with one of the lawyers at
your office about my rights.
199
00:07:55,689 --> 00:07:57,969
Something that won't
cost me an arm and a leg.
200
00:07:58,000 --> 00:07:58,930
I can't.
201
00:07:58,965 --> 00:08:01,305
My boss just said we
can't do that anymore.
202
00:08:01,344 --> 00:08:02,554
Forget it.
203
00:08:02,965 --> 00:08:05,405
You're always so
deeply disappointing.
204
00:08:05,482 --> 00:08:07,282
I don't even know why
I bother with you.
205
00:08:09,758 --> 00:08:12,028
Mrs. Ewing is
taking Lorazepam,
206
00:08:12,068 --> 00:08:13,898
which her family
doctor prescribed.
207
00:08:14,551 --> 00:08:17,001
I would say she's
suffering from depression.
208
00:08:17,034 --> 00:08:18,694
My understanding is
that she has been
209
00:08:18,724 --> 00:08:19,904
referred to a psychiatrist,
210
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:23,210
but with the wait times here
she still hasn't seen one.
211
00:08:24,137 --> 00:08:25,717
Doctor, can you
take us through
212
00:08:25,758 --> 00:08:28,588
the typical psychological
markers of an arsonist?
213
00:08:28,620 --> 00:08:31,030
Fire-starting, especially
with female fire-starters,
214
00:08:31,068 --> 00:08:32,548
can be the manifestation
215
00:08:32,586 --> 00:08:35,406
of an underlying
psychiatric condition.
216
00:08:35,413 --> 00:08:37,243
They often feel
more isolated
217
00:08:37,310 --> 00:08:40,240
or lack connection to
their environment.
218
00:08:40,310 --> 00:08:42,720
Doctor, in your
expert opinion,
219
00:08:42,758 --> 00:08:46,548
is it possible that Ms. Ewing's
psychiatric illness
220
00:08:46,586 --> 00:08:49,026
would manifest in this
type of behaviour?
221
00:08:49,068 --> 00:08:50,688
Fire-starting, specifically.
222
00:08:50,862 --> 00:08:53,552
Well it's hard to say without
knowing Mrs. Ewing's history.
223
00:08:53,620 --> 00:08:54,720
Typically,
224
00:08:54,758 --> 00:08:57,898
fire-setting manifests as
a pattern of behaviour,
225
00:08:57,896 --> 00:08:59,306
not a one off.
226
00:08:59,793 --> 00:09:01,033
Pattern.
227
00:09:04,482 --> 00:09:07,072
Doctor, you're aware that the
defendant's husband and child
228
00:09:07,103 --> 00:09:09,103
died in a fire along
with her in-laws,
229
00:09:09,137 --> 00:09:11,377
Freddie and Gladys Ewing
last year.
230
00:09:11,413 --> 00:09:13,313
No, I was not.
231
00:09:13,379 --> 00:09:15,099
Mrs. Ewing was not
very forthcoming.
232
00:09:15,137 --> 00:09:16,067
Relevance, Your Honour.
233
00:09:16,103 --> 00:09:17,483
I'm allowing.
234
00:09:17,482 --> 00:09:20,972
Given your testimony
about patterns,
235
00:09:21,034 --> 00:09:22,974
and fire starting,
236
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:24,970
is it possible the defendant
could have been the one
237
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:26,930
that started the fires
that resulted in the deaths
238
00:09:26,965 --> 00:09:29,445
of her in-laws,
husband and child?
239
00:09:29,482 --> 00:09:30,452
Objection, Your Honour!
240
00:09:30,482 --> 00:09:31,902
That is a lie!
-Settle.
241
00:09:31,931 --> 00:09:33,661
I'd never hurt my family,
they were all I had.
242
00:09:33,655 --> 00:09:35,095
Settle!
243
00:09:35,137 --> 00:09:36,757
Why are you lying?
244
00:09:36,793 --> 00:09:37,973
Why?
245
00:09:40,827 --> 00:09:42,547
Mr. Mueller, are you
charging Mrs. Ewing
246
00:09:42,551 --> 00:09:43,721
in connection with the deaths
of her husband and child?
247
00:09:43,724 --> 00:09:45,144
Will she be taken into
custody for the crime?
248
00:09:45,172 --> 00:09:46,212
Will the investigation
into the fire
249
00:09:46,275 --> 00:09:47,785
that killed Dani Ewing's
family be reopened?
250
00:09:47,827 --> 00:09:48,967
You know that she
didn't set the fire
251
00:09:49,034 --> 00:09:50,594
that killed her family!
252
00:09:50,620 --> 00:09:52,520
Come on, Avery, be fair!
253
00:09:52,551 --> 00:09:53,551
Like you?
254
00:09:54,206 --> 00:09:55,616
Don't go there.
255
00:09:55,655 --> 00:09:57,135
Marcie, what am I supposed
to do just pretend that we
didn't almost-
256
00:09:57,206 --> 00:09:58,166
Yeah, since I'm
friends with
257
00:09:58,241 --> 00:09:59,831
and work with the woman
that you were dating.
258
00:09:59,827 --> 00:10:01,827
Yeah, let's pretend
this didn't happen.
259
00:10:01,896 --> 00:10:03,616
Fine then, let's just
keep it professional.
260
00:10:03,689 --> 00:10:04,899
Yeah.
261
00:10:05,965 --> 00:10:07,095
Keeping it professional.
262
00:10:09,655 --> 00:10:12,135
And no more arguing
baseless theories either.
263
00:10:12,206 --> 00:10:13,786
I never said
anything about that.
264
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:20,280
My grandma, she
used to play piano,
265
00:10:20,310 --> 00:10:23,280
back in the day when session
musicians didn't make much.
266
00:10:23,310 --> 00:10:25,550
She taught me how
to play guitar.
267
00:10:25,586 --> 00:10:27,096
She couldn't read
a speck of music,
268
00:10:27,137 --> 00:10:29,997
but that was her gift.
269
00:10:32,275 --> 00:10:36,095
Listen, I think
Mr. and Mrs. Diggs
270
00:10:36,137 --> 00:10:39,137
may have the wrong idea
of what I'm about.
271
00:10:39,206 --> 00:10:40,586
I'm trying to create a place
272
00:10:40,620 --> 00:10:42,280
where kids can pick
up an instrument,
273
00:10:42,310 --> 00:10:44,280
learn to read music.
274
00:10:44,310 --> 00:10:45,790
My grandma would love that.
275
00:10:47,275 --> 00:10:49,965
No it sounds neat.
276
00:10:51,137 --> 00:10:52,927
But it can't be on
my client's land.
277
00:10:52,965 --> 00:10:54,275
I already spoke
with my lawyer
278
00:10:54,310 --> 00:10:57,930
and she said my adverse
possession claim is solid.
279
00:10:57,965 --> 00:10:59,655
I know the Diggs'
don't like that but-
280
00:10:59,724 --> 00:11:01,314
Son, you're trying
to take something
281
00:11:01,344 --> 00:11:02,834
that doesn't belong to you.
282
00:11:02,862 --> 00:11:04,002
Not your son.
283
00:11:05,034 --> 00:11:06,624
And I'm not taking anything.
284
00:11:07,034 --> 00:11:08,344
They gave it away.
285
00:11:08,379 --> 00:11:10,689
They were trying
to do a good deed.
286
00:11:10,724 --> 00:11:12,864
Now you're coming in and you're
not even offering to pay them
287
00:11:12,862 --> 00:11:14,282
for the use of the land.
288
00:11:16,931 --> 00:11:18,661
Mr. Thompson,
289
00:11:18,689 --> 00:11:22,339
do you know what I was doing
for a living before I got here?
290
00:11:22,379 --> 00:11:25,519
I was washing dishes in
the kitchen at the Sofitel.
291
00:11:27,206 --> 00:11:28,716
Everything I'm
trying to do here
292
00:11:28,724 --> 00:11:31,344
has been on a wing
and a prayer.
293
00:11:31,379 --> 00:11:33,829
I get the land
rezoned as mixed use,
294
00:11:33,862 --> 00:11:34,722
I can apply for grants
295
00:11:34,793 --> 00:11:36,863
and try to get this
thing on its feet.
296
00:11:36,896 --> 00:11:39,166
What if I told you that your
adverse possession claim
297
00:11:39,206 --> 00:11:40,616
was weak?
298
00:11:42,689 --> 00:11:44,659
Well I'd say let
the courts decide.
299
00:11:46,206 --> 00:11:47,926
To the best of your
knowledge and belief,
300
00:11:47,965 --> 00:11:49,205
so help you God.
301
00:11:49,206 --> 00:11:50,616
Yes.
302
00:11:52,344 --> 00:11:53,724
Ms. Ewing,
303
00:11:53,793 --> 00:11:55,763
you and your cousin Tony,
you were close?
304
00:11:57,103 --> 00:11:58,243
He was like a brother.
305
00:11:58,241 --> 00:12:00,341
So his death must have
hit you pretty hard.
306
00:12:00,379 --> 00:12:03,409
Hard just doesn't get it.
307
00:12:03,448 --> 00:12:05,588
Tony, Uncle Freddie,
Aunt Gladys,
308
00:12:05,655 --> 00:12:07,235
that precious little boy.
309
00:12:08,103 --> 00:12:10,763
It's something I still
can't get my head around.
310
00:12:11,758 --> 00:12:14,238
And Tony's wife, Dani,
311
00:12:14,275 --> 00:12:15,655
I assume you two were close?
312
00:12:16,103 --> 00:12:17,313
Her?
313
00:12:18,413 --> 00:12:20,693
That girl ain't
close with no one.
314
00:12:20,724 --> 00:12:21,934
Thought she was too
good for Preston.
315
00:12:21,965 --> 00:12:23,305
What do you mean
by "too good"?
316
00:12:24,206 --> 00:12:27,926
Tony was big on his community.
317
00:12:27,931 --> 00:12:29,621
He spent time coaching
at the rec centre,
318
00:12:29,689 --> 00:12:31,899
never missed a
Sunday at church.
319
00:12:31,931 --> 00:12:33,761
She, she never came.
320
00:12:34,793 --> 00:12:37,763
Only time she'd show up is
to give him a hard time.
321
00:12:37,793 --> 00:12:39,383
Always fightin' with
him about nonsense.
322
00:12:39,413 --> 00:12:40,933
That is not true.
-That's messed up.
323
00:12:40,965 --> 00:12:42,715
I hated how Dani
was always on him.
324
00:12:42,758 --> 00:12:44,068
What do you mean
by being "on him"
325
00:12:44,103 --> 00:12:45,693
about hanging out in Preston?
326
00:12:46,931 --> 00:12:48,101
'Cause she's a racist.
327
00:12:48,103 --> 00:12:49,243
Objection, Your Honour.
328
00:12:49,275 --> 00:12:50,275
Sustained.
329
00:12:50,344 --> 00:12:52,074
She married a black man
330
00:12:52,103 --> 00:12:54,243
but didn't realize she
was marrying a black man.
331
00:12:54,310 --> 00:12:55,720
Settle.
332
00:12:55,827 --> 00:12:57,167
He wouldn't give up his
community for the likes of her,
333
00:12:57,206 --> 00:12:58,166
and she hated it.
- Settle!
334
00:12:58,206 --> 00:12:59,686
She hated all of us for it.
335
00:12:59,724 --> 00:13:00,414
Leave her alone.
336
00:13:00,448 --> 00:13:01,788
Quiet in the courtroom.
337
00:13:03,344 --> 00:13:05,484
Take control of your witness,
Mr. Mueller.
338
00:13:05,517 --> 00:13:07,307
No further questions,
Your Honour.
339
00:13:07,344 --> 00:13:08,724
Ms. Diggs?
340
00:13:14,862 --> 00:13:18,312
Even though Tony,
my client's husband,
341
00:13:18,344 --> 00:13:21,004
was "like a brother" to you,
342
00:13:21,068 --> 00:13:23,138
you didn't attend his wedding,
did you?
343
00:13:23,172 --> 00:13:24,832
No, I did not.
344
00:13:24,896 --> 00:13:26,166
And why is that?
345
00:13:26,241 --> 00:13:27,621
I was feeling sick that day.
346
00:13:27,793 --> 00:13:30,453
Isn't it true that you didn't
attend your cousin's wedding
347
00:13:30,482 --> 00:13:32,452
because you didn't
like the fact
348
00:13:32,482 --> 00:13:34,002
that he was marrying
a white woman?
349
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:35,660
Like I said,
350
00:13:36,724 --> 00:13:38,694
I was feeling sick that day.
351
00:13:38,758 --> 00:13:41,718
Did you ever
refer to Dani as
352
00:13:41,758 --> 00:13:43,968
"Becky with the good hair?"
353
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:45,970
I don't recall.
354
00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:47,450
What about "pale face"?
355
00:13:47,482 --> 00:13:49,722
Well, she is pale.
356
00:13:50,517 --> 00:13:51,897
Objection, Your Honour,
relevance.
357
00:13:51,965 --> 00:13:55,165
Your Honour, Ms. Ewing was
called as a Crown witness
358
00:13:55,241 --> 00:13:58,341
to support this theory that
my client has a grudge
359
00:13:58,344 --> 00:14:00,724
against the people
of North Preston.
360
00:14:00,793 --> 00:14:02,003
That she's a racist.
361
00:14:04,068 --> 00:14:06,788
I think it's pretty
clear who the racist is.
362
00:14:09,586 --> 00:14:10,856
Black people can't be racist.
363
00:14:10,896 --> 00:14:11,896
That's right.
-Yeah!
364
00:14:11,896 --> 00:14:13,376
Let's move on.
365
00:14:13,413 --> 00:14:14,343
By the way, Mr. Mueller,
366
00:14:14,379 --> 00:14:16,029
when you're going
to call a witness,
367
00:14:16,068 --> 00:14:18,898
prepare them for
the courtroom.
368
00:14:21,586 --> 00:14:23,896
Guess I should've
expected you to go there.
369
00:14:23,931 --> 00:14:26,761
You accused my client of
killing her child and husband.
370
00:14:26,827 --> 00:14:28,407
Like you said,
I'm just trying my case.
371
00:14:28,413 --> 00:14:30,243
All right, let's do two years
plus three years probation,
372
00:14:30,241 --> 00:14:31,341
call it a day.
373
00:14:31,413 --> 00:14:33,033
Ah, you were just in there
reaching for a motive,
374
00:14:33,068 --> 00:14:35,858
your ID is garbage and
you have nothing concrete
375
00:14:35,896 --> 00:14:37,406
to tie Dani to the fire.
376
00:14:37,413 --> 00:14:39,033
You're lucky I didn't try
to convince Judge Lawrence
377
00:14:39,068 --> 00:14:40,098
that the cousin did it.
378
00:14:40,172 --> 00:14:41,412
Okay Marcie, you're
forgetting we have her bike,
379
00:14:41,448 --> 00:14:44,028
the accelerant that she used
to start the fire at her house.
380
00:14:44,068 --> 00:14:45,858
Yeah, commercially
available accelerant
381
00:14:45,896 --> 00:14:47,026
that most people use.
382
00:14:47,068 --> 00:14:49,238
Despite what you even think,
we have a rock solid ID.
383
00:14:49,241 --> 00:14:50,861
If your rock is talc.
384
00:14:51,068 --> 00:14:53,028
What? He saw a white
woman on a bike?
385
00:14:54,241 --> 00:14:56,721
So Marcie Diggs got
jokes now, huh?
386
00:14:57,586 --> 00:15:00,376
Look, the press has been
eating this case up.
387
00:15:00,413 --> 00:15:01,453
And you already
know Judge Lawrence
388
00:15:01,517 --> 00:15:03,307
is gonna wanna be on the
right side of this one.
389
00:15:03,379 --> 00:15:04,789
Yeah, that's what I'm hoping.
390
00:15:05,137 --> 00:15:06,927
Then talk to your client.
391
00:15:06,965 --> 00:15:08,095
Of course.
392
00:15:12,034 --> 00:15:13,214
Marcie Diggs.
393
00:15:16,620 --> 00:15:17,790
Mom, just think,
394
00:15:17,896 --> 00:15:20,826
maybe you could do some
teaching at this music school.
395
00:15:20,896 --> 00:15:22,096
Well I can tell
you the last thing
396
00:15:22,137 --> 00:15:23,927
I'm thinking about
is moving out here.
397
00:15:23,965 --> 00:15:25,305
But I get it,
it's yours.
398
00:15:25,379 --> 00:15:27,309
Who's this guy to just
come try to take it away?
399
00:15:27,310 --> 00:15:28,310
Thank you, Alexa.
400
00:15:28,310 --> 00:15:29,280
Hey.
401
00:15:29,275 --> 00:15:30,305
Hey.
402
00:15:30,310 --> 00:15:32,280
So, everyone's in the know.
403
00:15:32,310 --> 00:15:33,900
No point in keeping
it a secret.
404
00:15:34,655 --> 00:15:36,825
So, Marcie, your
sisters have made it clear
405
00:15:36,896 --> 00:15:38,926
they're not interested
in that piece of land.
406
00:15:38,965 --> 00:15:40,445
How about you?
407
00:15:40,517 --> 00:15:41,927
Worth fighting over?
408
00:15:44,965 --> 00:15:46,475
You can't miss what
you didn't know you had.
409
00:15:46,551 --> 00:15:48,141
What the hell does that mean?
410
00:15:48,172 --> 00:15:51,482
Mom, I always thought the
land belonged to Miss Clara.
411
00:15:51,551 --> 00:15:53,141
I didn't know
that you and Dad
412
00:15:53,206 --> 00:15:55,616
were just giving her
a place to stay.
413
00:15:55,655 --> 00:15:58,135
Honestly, I think the
idea of a group home
414
00:15:58,206 --> 00:16:00,656
where at risk kids can
get a music education
415
00:16:00,689 --> 00:16:02,029
is-is a great idea.
416
00:16:02,034 --> 00:16:04,034
I never said it
was a bad idea.
417
00:16:04,620 --> 00:16:06,030
Well couldn't she just
rent it out to him
418
00:16:06,103 --> 00:16:07,523
or something, Marce?
419
00:16:07,586 --> 00:16:08,656
Mom?
420
00:16:08,689 --> 00:16:10,859
He's a really smart
young man, Mom.
421
00:16:10,931 --> 00:16:12,001
You should talk to him.
422
00:16:12,034 --> 00:16:13,174
We've talked.
423
00:16:13,413 --> 00:16:14,973
Not really, Vel.
424
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:15,970
Emily and I-
425
00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:17,660
Oh, you and Emily?
426
00:16:17,689 --> 00:16:18,859
Yeah, Mom.
427
00:16:20,379 --> 00:16:23,899
Timmy, he just want to
do things the right way.
428
00:16:23,965 --> 00:16:25,685
We need to be supporting
young men like him.
429
00:16:25,724 --> 00:16:28,384
He's lovely, but I'm not
gonna just let some kid
430
00:16:28,448 --> 00:16:30,098
come and take what
doesn't belong to him,
431
00:16:30,137 --> 00:16:32,027
no matter how well
intentioned he is.
432
00:16:32,068 --> 00:16:34,408
But it's not just
your decision, Velma.
433
00:16:34,827 --> 00:16:37,617
We, we do this together.
434
00:16:46,586 --> 00:16:47,546
Where's Sonia?
435
00:16:47,620 --> 00:16:48,690
There's a
restraining order.
436
00:16:48,724 --> 00:16:50,174
You're not supposed
to be here.
437
00:16:50,206 --> 00:16:51,896
The fact that I'm
here should tell ya
438
00:16:51,965 --> 00:16:54,375
I don't give two damns
about any restraining order.
439
00:16:54,448 --> 00:16:56,028
You need to get
your hand off me.
440
00:16:56,034 --> 00:16:56,974
You're getting in the way
441
00:16:57,034 --> 00:16:59,004
of me putting my
family back together.
442
00:16:59,034 --> 00:17:00,004
Just calm down.
443
00:17:00,034 --> 00:17:01,244
Bitch, look!
444
00:17:01,275 --> 00:17:02,135
I don't want any trouble,
445
00:17:02,206 --> 00:17:04,586
just tell me where
Sonia's taken my kid!
446
00:17:10,172 --> 00:17:11,722
Who's the bitch now, huh?!
447
00:17:14,275 --> 00:17:15,445
Who's the bitch now?
448
00:17:15,448 --> 00:17:17,278
Stop, Iris, Iris!
449
00:17:22,655 --> 00:17:24,065
It's okay, Iris.
450
00:17:24,793 --> 00:17:26,933
You wanna tell me what
that was all about?
451
00:17:31,793 --> 00:17:34,593
He assaulted me and
I defended myself.
452
00:17:38,724 --> 00:17:40,074
Okay, but,
453
00:17:42,517 --> 00:17:44,477
you didn't seem like
you were in control.
454
00:17:47,275 --> 00:17:48,655
You're a psychiatrist now?
455
00:17:51,758 --> 00:17:52,998
Why are you here anyway?
456
00:17:56,103 --> 00:17:58,073
Left my keys for my
cabin in my desk.
457
00:18:02,827 --> 00:18:04,207
Are you sure you're okay?
458
00:18:05,310 --> 00:18:06,480
I'm good.
459
00:18:07,551 --> 00:18:08,761
I'm good.
460
00:18:47,482 --> 00:18:48,722
Dani!
461
00:18:51,344 --> 00:18:52,724
Hey, Marcie!
462
00:18:56,344 --> 00:18:57,764
What's going on here, Dani?
463
00:18:58,344 --> 00:19:00,244
I've been going
from room to room.
464
00:19:00,275 --> 00:19:02,855
I just need to know that
the wiring is up to code.
465
00:19:02,896 --> 00:19:04,276
To feel safe.
466
00:19:07,862 --> 00:19:11,522
I know a guy,
he's a contractor.
467
00:19:11,551 --> 00:19:13,241
He's a good guy.
468
00:19:13,241 --> 00:19:15,451
I can get him to take
a look at this for you.
469
00:19:16,896 --> 00:19:18,066
Sure.
470
00:19:18,103 --> 00:19:20,553
I've still got the upstairs
and the living room to do.
471
00:19:24,241 --> 00:19:27,621
I'm here to discuss a
plea offer I received.
472
00:19:29,172 --> 00:19:30,722
It's two years in custody-
473
00:19:30,758 --> 00:19:34,208
Stewy Brooks and those
people took away my family.
474
00:19:34,241 --> 00:19:35,691
They're not gonna
take away my freedom.
475
00:19:35,724 --> 00:19:36,694
Dani-
476
00:19:36,724 --> 00:19:37,834
Ask him!
477
00:19:37,862 --> 00:19:40,242
He and those Ratepayers
were supposed to make sure
478
00:19:40,310 --> 00:19:42,860
that everyone who needed it
got home improvement grants.
479
00:19:42,896 --> 00:19:45,406
Tony's parents had
applied three times.
480
00:19:45,482 --> 00:19:48,722
Three times and each time
the Ratepayers' Association
481
00:19:48,724 --> 00:19:50,174
denied them.
482
00:19:50,586 --> 00:19:51,856
All of Stewy's
friends and relatives
483
00:19:51,896 --> 00:19:53,546
got their upgrade though.
484
00:19:57,724 --> 00:19:59,834
My husband and
child are dead
485
00:19:59,862 --> 00:20:02,072
because of those people
486
00:20:02,137 --> 00:20:03,067
and they're trying
to blame me for this
487
00:20:03,103 --> 00:20:04,553
because they know
I'm not gonna stop
488
00:20:04,586 --> 00:20:06,026
until they've been exposed.
489
00:20:07,172 --> 00:20:08,072
It's all there.
490
00:20:08,137 --> 00:20:09,547
They're trying to silence me
491
00:20:09,586 --> 00:20:11,546
by blaming me for
something I didn't do.
492
00:20:13,241 --> 00:20:15,211
You won't let them though,
will you, Marcie?
493
00:20:18,724 --> 00:20:19,724
How can we settle
this business
494
00:20:19,793 --> 00:20:21,073
with Clara's grandson, Reggie?
495
00:20:21,103 --> 00:20:24,553
I looked into the kid's
adverse rights claim,
496
00:20:24,586 --> 00:20:25,896
it
might not work.
497
00:20:25,931 --> 00:20:28,901
However, it is possible
that he could argue
498
00:20:28,931 --> 00:20:31,071
that there was a contract
between you and Austin
499
00:20:31,137 --> 00:20:32,827
and the late Mrs. Horne
500
00:20:32,862 --> 00:20:35,692
where you gave
the land to her.
501
00:20:35,724 --> 00:20:37,724
We never "gave" anything!
502
00:20:37,758 --> 00:20:40,588
Well listen, young Timothy
has done his homework.
503
00:20:40,586 --> 00:20:43,066
The good news is that the
property is only zoned
504
00:20:43,137 --> 00:20:45,757
for single family
residential use.
505
00:20:45,758 --> 00:20:47,208
He'd have to apply
for a variance,
506
00:20:47,241 --> 00:20:49,551
so we'll see.
507
00:20:49,586 --> 00:20:51,546
"We'll see" is not
a plan, Reggie.
508
00:20:51,586 --> 00:20:53,406
Don't worry, Velma.
509
00:20:53,413 --> 00:20:55,623
Give me the day and-and
I'll take care of it.
510
00:21:09,793 --> 00:21:11,173
Ms. Diggs?
511
00:21:11,896 --> 00:21:13,166
Mr. Lincoln.
512
00:21:13,620 --> 00:21:14,790
Marcie.
513
00:21:16,310 --> 00:21:18,240
I am familiar with
these programs.
514
00:21:18,275 --> 00:21:19,135
That's why I called you.
515
00:21:19,206 --> 00:21:20,276
Hm.
516
00:21:20,310 --> 00:21:22,620
A lot of these programs
were set up in the '80s
517
00:21:22,655 --> 00:21:25,205
to address racial
bias in the system.
518
00:21:25,241 --> 00:21:26,761
Ended up just
being hush money,
519
00:21:26,793 --> 00:21:27,663
if you know what I mean.
520
00:21:27,724 --> 00:21:28,934
So-called leaders
of the community
521
00:21:29,103 --> 00:21:32,143
taking money meant for their
struggling brothers and sisters,
522
00:21:32,206 --> 00:21:33,786
and lining their pockets.
523
00:21:34,862 --> 00:21:36,142
Disgrace.
524
00:21:36,206 --> 00:21:37,376
People died.
525
00:21:38,034 --> 00:21:39,624
Ain't nothin' new
for us there.
526
00:21:41,620 --> 00:21:43,210
And so no one's accountable?
527
00:21:44,206 --> 00:21:45,616
Nah, that's garbage.
528
00:21:46,655 --> 00:21:48,825
What about this "Charles Ryan"?
529
00:21:48,827 --> 00:21:50,617
His name's all over
these documents.
530
00:21:51,103 --> 00:21:53,903
If you could draw a
cartoon of apathy,
531
00:21:53,931 --> 00:21:55,621
it would be
Charles Ryan's face.
532
00:21:58,000 --> 00:22:01,170
You know what apathetic people
care about more than anything?
533
00:22:02,862 --> 00:22:04,242
Themselves.
534
00:22:07,551 --> 00:22:09,691
Think you'd be interested
in teaching music?
535
00:22:09,724 --> 00:22:10,864
I'll think about it.
536
00:22:11,275 --> 00:22:13,305
Hey man, did we
have something set?
537
00:22:14,034 --> 00:22:16,794
No no, I just wanted to
talk to you and, uh, Velma.
538
00:22:18,862 --> 00:22:20,342
I'll give you some space.
539
00:22:20,344 --> 00:22:21,594
All right.
540
00:22:24,379 --> 00:22:25,829
I think I may
have found a way
541
00:22:25,862 --> 00:22:28,002
to solve your issue
with Mr. Horne.
542
00:22:28,034 --> 00:22:31,524
I found three or four errors
in Clara Horne's application
543
00:22:31,586 --> 00:22:33,406
for adverse possession.
544
00:22:34,206 --> 00:22:37,716
Now the one big error that
we can rest our head on
545
00:22:37,793 --> 00:22:40,863
is that she missed the 20 year
requirement by three months.
546
00:22:40,896 --> 00:22:42,996
The application should
never have been processed.
547
00:22:43,034 --> 00:22:44,214
So based on that,
548
00:22:44,241 --> 00:22:47,341
I drafted a motion to have
the land conveyance voided.
549
00:22:49,931 --> 00:22:51,241
Who asked you to do this?
550
00:22:53,862 --> 00:22:55,242
Did she ask you to do this?
551
00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:57,210
Hi, Reggie.
552
00:22:57,275 --> 00:22:58,205
Hi, Velma.
553
00:22:58,275 --> 00:22:59,655
I was just telling-
554
00:22:59,689 --> 00:23:01,759
Did you ask Reggie to put
this paperwork together?
555
00:23:01,793 --> 00:23:03,763
I asked him to look
into our options, yes.
556
00:23:03,793 --> 00:23:06,033
But we agreed not to move
forward with legal proceedings
557
00:23:06,068 --> 00:23:08,588
without us being
on the same page.
558
00:23:08,620 --> 00:23:10,900
Austin, you're lettin'
that boy turn your head.
559
00:23:10,931 --> 00:23:12,761
You need to think
of the family.
560
00:23:14,103 --> 00:23:15,483
You represent both
of us, right?
561
00:23:17,758 --> 00:23:18,928
I don't want this.
562
00:23:19,931 --> 00:23:20,931
Austin.
563
00:23:20,965 --> 00:23:22,825
I've said all I'm gonna
say about it, Velma.
564
00:23:28,137 --> 00:23:30,407
I'm just trying to
make sense of this.
565
00:23:30,448 --> 00:23:32,758
So this application
was submitted
566
00:23:32,758 --> 00:23:36,408
on behalf of
826 Simmonds Road but,
567
00:23:36,482 --> 00:23:39,452
see this document
568
00:23:39,448 --> 00:23:43,448
shows that the application
was filed by her in-laws,
569
00:23:43,517 --> 00:23:46,067
with the original
address crossed out
570
00:23:46,103 --> 00:23:50,033
and then replaced with
845 Simmonds Road.
571
00:23:50,068 --> 00:23:52,758
I'm not gonna lie,
that happened.
572
00:23:52,793 --> 00:23:54,453
Lots of illiteracy
in the community,
573
00:23:54,448 --> 00:23:55,928
people being given the
wrong street number
574
00:23:55,931 --> 00:23:58,281
when the city first
made assignments.
575
00:23:58,344 --> 00:24:00,454
We used the Ratepayers'
Association as a go-between
576
00:24:00,448 --> 00:24:02,308
the department and
the community.
577
00:24:02,379 --> 00:24:04,139
So, yeah.
578
00:24:04,172 --> 00:24:05,552
I'm sure mistakes were made.
579
00:24:07,517 --> 00:24:09,967
Mr. Ryan, once or
twice is a mistake.
580
00:24:13,068 --> 00:24:14,658
17 times?
581
00:24:15,862 --> 00:24:19,342
The Fire Marshall's report
says that it was faulty wiring
582
00:24:19,413 --> 00:24:20,383
that caused the fire
583
00:24:20,379 --> 00:24:23,659
that killed my client's
husband and child.
584
00:24:24,827 --> 00:24:28,657
The money intended for
upgrading her in-law's home
585
00:24:28,689 --> 00:24:31,829
went into the pockets of
the Ratepayers' Executives.
586
00:24:31,862 --> 00:24:35,142
They then took that money
and upgraded their own homes,
587
00:24:35,172 --> 00:24:37,452
and the homes of their
friends and their family.
588
00:24:37,482 --> 00:24:38,662
Listen, we did-
589
00:24:38,689 --> 00:24:39,829
Everything right?
590
00:24:40,275 --> 00:24:41,965
Did you?
591
00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:43,380
Not really.
592
00:24:45,068 --> 00:24:46,448
What do you want?
593
00:24:48,827 --> 00:24:50,827
Based on what I've
just shown you,
594
00:24:50,862 --> 00:24:54,032
one would argue,
well, I would argue
595
00:24:54,103 --> 00:24:57,973
that you are just as guilty
as the Ratepayers' Executive
596
00:24:58,000 --> 00:24:59,830
for what happened to
my client's family.
597
00:24:59,862 --> 00:25:02,902
Now I'm giving you the
opportunity to decide.
598
00:25:03,586 --> 00:25:06,716
Do you wanna be the
whistleblower in this story?
599
00:25:06,724 --> 00:25:08,144
Or the co-accused?
600
00:25:10,827 --> 00:25:12,547
Dumb move, baby.
I'm sorry.
601
00:25:12,620 --> 00:25:14,030
What was I supposed to do?
602
00:25:14,068 --> 00:25:15,518
Let him beat on me?
603
00:25:15,551 --> 00:25:17,031
I'm not saying that.
604
00:25:17,068 --> 00:25:19,028
But you had time to
call 911, right?
605
00:25:20,448 --> 00:25:21,378
Yes, but the-
606
00:25:21,413 --> 00:25:24,383
You let some asshat
get under your skin.
607
00:25:25,068 --> 00:25:25,928
You think this
is the last time
608
00:25:25,931 --> 00:25:27,901
someone's gonna try
and step to you?
609
00:25:31,241 --> 00:25:33,411
Baby, I don't know
what's going on,
610
00:25:33,482 --> 00:25:37,722
but it's obvious this
man triggered you.
611
00:25:39,758 --> 00:25:41,718
Whatever stuff you've
got to deal with,
612
00:25:41,724 --> 00:25:43,484
deal with it.
613
00:25:43,517 --> 00:25:44,587
Otherwise, your career
as a social worker's
614
00:25:44,655 --> 00:25:46,445
gonna be over
before it begins.
615
00:25:59,793 --> 00:26:01,033
Damn.
616
00:26:04,137 --> 00:26:05,547
Go home, Marcie.
617
00:26:06,517 --> 00:26:07,477
What's in the bag?
618
00:26:07,551 --> 00:26:08,481
What's in the bag, Dani?
619
00:26:08,551 --> 00:26:09,721
I am done waiting, Marcie!
620
00:26:12,310 --> 00:26:13,690
Just stay out of this!
621
00:26:14,275 --> 00:26:16,545
You said you didn't do this.
622
00:26:18,586 --> 00:26:21,616
Listen, I read the
files that you gave me.
623
00:26:21,655 --> 00:26:23,235
I talked to the
guy at housing,
624
00:26:23,275 --> 00:26:25,615
the guy that was the
official on the case?
625
00:26:25,655 --> 00:26:29,135
People are going to know
that you were right.
626
00:26:29,206 --> 00:26:31,786
That what happened to
Tony and Devin was wrong.
627
00:26:31,793 --> 00:26:33,213
It wasn't wrong, Marcie.
628
00:26:34,310 --> 00:26:35,930
Stewy Brooks and all his pals
629
00:26:35,965 --> 00:26:38,545
on the Ratepayer Executive
killed them!
630
00:26:38,586 --> 00:26:39,786
They killed my family.
631
00:26:40,310 --> 00:26:41,280
And they need to pay.
632
00:26:41,310 --> 00:26:42,450
And they will.
633
00:26:43,137 --> 00:26:45,447
But the right way,
not like this.
634
00:26:45,517 --> 00:26:47,547
No, just like this.
635
00:26:48,137 --> 00:26:50,097
Dani, you're in trouble, Dani.
636
00:26:50,793 --> 00:26:53,663
Look, if we change your plea,
637
00:26:53,655 --> 00:26:55,515
I can get you the
help that you need.
638
00:26:56,172 --> 00:26:57,522
We can get you well.
639
00:26:59,137 --> 00:27:01,337
And what about my justice?
640
00:27:01,379 --> 00:27:02,829
You go after these
people like this,
641
00:27:02,862 --> 00:27:04,312
there's no coming back.
642
00:27:04,344 --> 00:27:08,834
All of this grief and anger
that you are holding onto,
643
00:27:08,862 --> 00:27:10,002
it's scorched earth.
644
00:27:11,206 --> 00:27:12,996
Dani, please.
645
00:27:34,620 --> 00:27:37,860
How do I move this
motion business forward?
646
00:27:37,862 --> 00:27:40,212
I have something to show you.
647
00:27:40,206 --> 00:27:41,856
You're not gonna like it but-
648
00:27:44,862 --> 00:27:46,552
Austin wrote a
letter in support
649
00:27:46,620 --> 00:27:48,860
of Timothy's Horne's
rezoning application.
650
00:28:02,827 --> 00:28:04,757
If you go to the
Registry of Deeds,
651
00:28:05,413 --> 00:28:09,243
the original Crown Grant, 1794.
652
00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:12,590
That plot of grass,
653
00:28:13,931 --> 00:28:17,661
it's been in my
family since 1794.
654
00:28:18,827 --> 00:28:20,657
That's more than
200 years, Reggie.
655
00:28:22,448 --> 00:28:25,688
200 years of my blood,
656
00:28:25,724 --> 00:28:28,934
putting in their effort
and sweat into that soil.
657
00:28:30,448 --> 00:28:33,758
I know it may be just an
abandoned field of grass
658
00:28:33,758 --> 00:28:35,588
to Austin and my girls,
659
00:28:36,517 --> 00:28:40,687
but the blood of my ancestors
runs through that ground.
660
00:28:41,413 --> 00:28:43,593
I can't just let
someone take it.
661
00:28:44,379 --> 00:28:45,759
I can't.
662
00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:49,170
Velma.
663
00:29:27,482 --> 00:29:29,382
Yeah, Gil, it's Reggie.
664
00:29:30,275 --> 00:29:32,825
Well you're the one that said
if I ever needed anything,
665
00:29:32,896 --> 00:29:34,336
well now I need something.
666
00:29:34,758 --> 00:29:37,858
There's a young man
named Timothy Horne
667
00:29:37,931 --> 00:29:40,211
with a rezoning
application in your office.
668
00:29:41,517 --> 00:29:43,477
Yeah, he wants to
change it from, uh,
669
00:29:43,517 --> 00:29:45,307
residential to mixed use.
670
00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:49,170
No, no, Gil.
671
00:29:49,172 --> 00:29:51,412
I want you to reject
the application.
672
00:29:52,172 --> 00:29:54,002
Mr. Brooks, thank
you for coming back
673
00:29:54,000 --> 00:29:56,310
and answering a few
more questions.
674
00:29:56,344 --> 00:29:58,144
I'd just like to
clarify a few things.
675
00:30:00,068 --> 00:30:03,308
I'd like this entered
as Exhibit D35.
676
00:30:04,758 --> 00:30:05,758
Thank you.
677
00:30:07,517 --> 00:30:11,657
Mr. Brooks, this is a copy
of a tax assessment letter
678
00:30:11,724 --> 00:30:13,904
for your home on
Simmonds Road.
679
00:30:14,896 --> 00:30:15,826
Yes.
680
00:30:15,896 --> 00:30:17,446
According to the document,
681
00:30:17,482 --> 00:30:19,452
what is the value
of your property?
682
00:30:19,482 --> 00:30:21,452
It says, uh, $90,000.
683
00:30:21,482 --> 00:30:24,312
How much money are you due
from the insurance company?
684
00:30:25,793 --> 00:30:27,173
I don't have that
information with me.
685
00:30:27,241 --> 00:30:29,971
I would have to,
uh, to look it up.
686
00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:31,380
Oh, let me help you out.
687
00:30:32,724 --> 00:30:34,344
In the event of a fire,
688
00:30:34,413 --> 00:30:37,483
Wingrove Insurance
will pay you $400,000
689
00:30:37,517 --> 00:30:41,167
to buy a new home or
rebuild your existing home.
690
00:30:41,241 --> 00:30:43,831
That's more than four
times the current value.
691
00:30:43,896 --> 00:30:45,476
Objection, Your Honour.
Relevance?
692
00:30:45,517 --> 00:30:47,967
Your Honour, Mr. Mueller
floated a narrative
693
00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:49,860
that my client,
Dani Ewing,
694
00:30:49,862 --> 00:30:52,972
set Mr. Brooks' and his
neighbours' homes on fire
695
00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:54,970
because she has a
racist vendetta
696
00:30:55,000 --> 00:30:57,170
against the community
of North Preston.
697
00:30:57,241 --> 00:30:59,241
I'd like an opportunity
to challenge this.
698
00:30:59,275 --> 00:31:00,715
Continue, Ms. Diggs.
699
00:31:02,482 --> 00:31:04,242
Isn't it true that you
recently purchased a condo
700
00:31:04,241 --> 00:31:07,901
in Halifax for $300,000
and have no intentions
701
00:31:07,965 --> 00:31:09,095
of rebuilding your home?
702
00:31:09,103 --> 00:31:11,213
I don't know where you're
getting your gossip from,
703
00:31:11,241 --> 00:31:13,521
but it's not true at all.
704
00:31:13,551 --> 00:31:14,591
No?
705
00:31:14,655 --> 00:31:18,405
I have a deed registered
to a numbered company
706
00:31:18,482 --> 00:31:21,382
that you are the
sole shareholder of.
707
00:31:24,551 --> 00:31:26,521
Would you like to change
your answer, sir?
708
00:31:26,551 --> 00:31:28,211
I don't understand
what's going on.
709
00:31:28,241 --> 00:31:29,831
I'm the victim
here, remember?
710
00:31:30,551 --> 00:31:31,721
I'm a good man!
711
00:31:32,655 --> 00:31:34,135
Since you brought it up.
712
00:31:34,931 --> 00:31:39,791
Weren't you in charge of a
housing improvement program
713
00:31:39,827 --> 00:31:41,237
for the people of Preston?
714
00:31:41,241 --> 00:31:42,521
Yes.
715
00:31:42,586 --> 00:31:46,026
Along with the other members
of the Ratepayers' Executive.
716
00:31:46,068 --> 00:31:47,518
We did some good
work out there.
717
00:31:47,551 --> 00:31:48,551
There's that word again.
718
00:31:48,586 --> 00:31:50,546
Objection, Your Honour.
Where is this going?
719
00:31:50,586 --> 00:31:52,896
Where is this going,
Ms. Diggs?
720
00:31:54,586 --> 00:31:58,206
If I could just ask the court
for a moment's indulgence?
721
00:32:00,931 --> 00:32:04,141
In conducting all of this
"good work" that you mentioned,
722
00:32:04,793 --> 00:32:08,103
did you ever have cause
to assess an application
723
00:32:08,137 --> 00:32:09,927
by the defendant's in-laws,
724
00:32:10,965 --> 00:32:12,785
Freddie and Gladys Ewing?
725
00:32:15,620 --> 00:32:16,830
Mr. Brooks,
726
00:32:16,896 --> 00:32:20,096
if you need a reminder I do
have a copy of the application.
727
00:32:22,137 --> 00:32:23,167
I remember.
728
00:32:23,172 --> 00:32:25,592
Do you remember if the
application was approved?
729
00:32:25,620 --> 00:32:27,590
I don't think we
ever heard back.
730
00:32:27,620 --> 00:32:32,310
No, because you used the
details of their application,
731
00:32:32,310 --> 00:32:36,140
the fact that the wiring in
the house was knob and tube,
732
00:32:36,206 --> 00:32:37,926
the roofing needed repairing,
733
00:32:37,965 --> 00:32:40,275
and the fusebox
needed upgrading
734
00:32:40,310 --> 00:32:43,450
to obtain funding for
your first cousin
735
00:32:43,482 --> 00:32:45,622
to build an addition
on their home.
736
00:32:45,655 --> 00:32:47,585
No, no, that is a lie.
737
00:32:47,620 --> 00:32:50,100
Your first cousin lives
at 845 Simmonds Road?
738
00:32:54,620 --> 00:32:57,100
This is a photo of that home.
739
00:32:57,137 --> 00:32:58,277
However,
740
00:33:00,206 --> 00:33:05,026
this is the home that you used
to represent 845 Simmonds Road
741
00:33:05,103 --> 00:33:07,173
when you applied for
the improvements
742
00:33:07,206 --> 00:33:08,856
with the
Department of Housing.
743
00:33:11,931 --> 00:33:13,341
826 Simmonds Road,
744
00:33:15,068 --> 00:33:18,548
the home that belonged to
Freddie and Gladys Ewing
745
00:33:18,551 --> 00:33:23,001
who died in a house fire
along with their son
746
00:33:23,034 --> 00:33:24,664
and their grandson.
747
00:33:24,689 --> 00:33:26,859
Can you explain
this discrepancy?
748
00:33:29,724 --> 00:33:31,034
There was a lot of paperwork.
749
00:33:31,034 --> 00:33:32,694
Things got misfiled.
750
00:33:32,724 --> 00:33:37,034
Isn't it true that you and
your fellow executive members
751
00:33:37,034 --> 00:33:39,344
of the Ratepayers' Association
752
00:33:39,379 --> 00:33:42,379
were funnelling money to
your friends and your family
753
00:33:42,379 --> 00:33:44,689
through this program
that was actually set up
754
00:33:44,724 --> 00:33:47,524
for poor people
in the community.
755
00:33:47,551 --> 00:33:48,661
Objection, Your Honour.
756
00:33:48,689 --> 00:33:51,859
I feel Ms. Diggs is taking
us way off course here.
757
00:33:51,931 --> 00:33:54,171
Ms. Diggs, regarding
the matter before me,
758
00:33:54,206 --> 00:33:55,206
I must agree with Mr. Mueller.
759
00:33:55,275 --> 00:33:56,515
But, Your Honour, I-
760
00:33:56,551 --> 00:33:57,931
I'm not done.
761
00:33:58,551 --> 00:34:01,451
Mr. Mueller, I expect that
you'll be providing a transcript
762
00:34:01,448 --> 00:34:04,618
of Mr. Brooks's
testimony to the RCMP,
763
00:34:04,620 --> 00:34:07,280
so that they can investigate
the very serious allegations
764
00:34:07,344 --> 00:34:09,244
made against Mr. Brooks
here today.
765
00:34:09,275 --> 00:34:10,405
Of course, Your Honour.
766
00:34:12,275 --> 00:34:13,995
I have no further questions.
767
00:34:15,448 --> 00:34:16,998
You're excused, Mr. Brooks.
768
00:34:17,827 --> 00:34:20,097
Let's adjourn until two p.m.
769
00:34:20,103 --> 00:34:22,073
Counsel, my chambers.
770
00:34:22,103 --> 00:34:23,243
All rise!
771
00:34:24,448 --> 00:34:26,238
Mr. Nef is saying your
employee assaulted him.
772
00:34:26,827 --> 00:34:28,687
And he wants to
press charges.
773
00:34:28,724 --> 00:34:30,284
She needs to
apologize to me.
774
00:34:30,275 --> 00:34:32,095
I'm sorry but I'm
having a hard time
775
00:34:32,103 --> 00:34:33,243
with this allegation.
776
00:34:33,275 --> 00:34:34,715
She nearly broke my ribs!
777
00:34:34,758 --> 00:34:37,238
Honestly, I'm
extremely embarrassed.
778
00:34:37,275 --> 00:34:38,445
You should be.
779
00:34:38,793 --> 00:34:41,283
Apologize and tell me where
Sonia's taken my child.
780
00:34:41,344 --> 00:34:42,974
Michael.
781
00:34:43,034 --> 00:34:45,454
Noel, how do you always
end up with these guys?
782
00:34:45,517 --> 00:34:48,687
Mr. Nef, let me be clear
about what's going on here.
783
00:34:53,034 --> 00:34:57,004
Violating a restraining order,
uttering threats, assault?
784
00:35:00,827 --> 00:35:02,477
Do something!
785
00:35:02,517 --> 00:35:04,687
I-I'm the victim here,
look at what she did to me!
786
00:35:04,689 --> 00:35:06,999
Tape tells a different tale,
doesn't it?
787
00:35:07,827 --> 00:35:08,757
Thank you, officers.
788
00:35:14,448 --> 00:35:16,478
Mr. Nef, you're under arrest.
789
00:35:16,517 --> 00:35:18,787
You have the right to obtain
and instruct counsel-
790
00:35:18,827 --> 00:35:20,167
Thank you, Colleen.
791
00:35:20,172 --> 00:35:22,072
You're too smart to act dumb.
792
00:35:23,689 --> 00:35:24,789
I don't know why you
did what you did,
793
00:35:24,862 --> 00:35:27,002
but it never happens again,
do you understand?
794
00:35:28,413 --> 00:35:30,003
That was your free pass.
795
00:35:35,862 --> 00:35:37,662
Is there a fair deal
we can come to?
796
00:35:39,241 --> 00:35:40,381
It needs to meet
public interest
797
00:35:40,379 --> 00:35:43,309
that any risk involving
Ms. Ewing is under control.
798
00:35:43,344 --> 00:35:46,004
Well, my client's ready to
take full responsibility
799
00:35:46,068 --> 00:35:47,028
for her actions.
800
00:35:47,724 --> 00:35:49,524
Three years probation.
801
00:35:49,517 --> 00:35:51,997
With access to a court
appointed psychiatrist?
802
00:35:56,344 --> 00:35:57,724
I think we have a deal.
803
00:36:00,275 --> 00:36:01,475
So.
804
00:36:03,241 --> 00:36:04,661
How about a drink
to celebrate?
805
00:36:06,793 --> 00:36:08,173
Maybe another time.
806
00:36:16,172 --> 00:36:18,722
So, this is what
it feels like
807
00:36:18,758 --> 00:36:20,688
to be on Marcie Diggs's
good side.
808
00:36:20,724 --> 00:36:22,214
I just wanted to thank you.
809
00:36:22,241 --> 00:36:24,241
Yes, you set a
white lady free
810
00:36:24,310 --> 00:36:27,410
and sent a black man to jail,
811
00:36:27,482 --> 00:36:29,032
and I'm not even mad at you.
812
00:36:32,241 --> 00:36:34,071
You know it just
occurred to me
813
00:36:34,137 --> 00:36:36,827
that I know
nothing about you,
814
00:36:36,862 --> 00:36:38,832
besides your politics,
that is.
815
00:36:38,862 --> 00:36:40,862
You gonna act like
you never creeped me?
816
00:36:40,896 --> 00:36:42,276
Maybe just a little.
817
00:36:45,862 --> 00:36:48,032
You know, this
looks really cozy.
818
00:36:48,862 --> 00:36:49,832
Avery?
819
00:36:49,862 --> 00:36:51,242
Hey, man.
820
00:36:51,896 --> 00:36:53,716
Ah, can I have a word
with you, Marcie?
821
00:36:56,724 --> 00:36:58,554
I'll just be one second.
822
00:37:07,000 --> 00:37:08,550
Marcie, are you
trying to punish me?
823
00:37:09,379 --> 00:37:10,619
Percy Lincoln, really?
824
00:37:10,689 --> 00:37:11,789
What are you taking about?
825
00:37:11,793 --> 00:37:13,213
I'm single, you're single.
826
00:37:13,241 --> 00:37:15,381
It's our turn,
Marcie, it's my turn!
827
00:37:15,413 --> 00:37:19,213
And you, you got this guy
that's sitting in my seat.
828
00:37:19,241 --> 00:37:20,451
That's my seat, Marcie.
829
00:37:20,482 --> 00:37:21,622
You need to stop.
830
00:37:23,310 --> 00:37:24,520
Marcie, it's just...
831
00:37:28,517 --> 00:37:29,717
Get off me.
832
00:37:32,310 --> 00:37:35,480
You need to go
home and sober up
833
00:37:35,965 --> 00:37:38,445
and I will pretend that
this never happened
834
00:37:38,482 --> 00:37:41,862
so that I can respect my
friend in the morning.
835
00:37:47,482 --> 00:37:48,792
I never thought
it was so easy
836
00:37:48,827 --> 00:37:50,827
to fill your days when
you're not working.
837
00:37:51,137 --> 00:37:53,927
I never realized how much
I missed gaspereau fishing.
838
00:37:53,965 --> 00:37:54,965
Gaspereau?
839
00:37:55,000 --> 00:37:56,310
I hope you brought
me a couple.
840
00:37:56,310 --> 00:37:57,970
You almost had company.
841
00:37:58,000 --> 00:38:01,660
Yeah, Iris went all
Cleopatra Jones on some client.
842
00:38:01,689 --> 00:38:02,859
Oh, I was there.
843
00:38:02,931 --> 00:38:04,691
You did not wanna see that.
844
00:38:04,724 --> 00:38:07,934
Anyways, I always keep a couple
of spare fishing rods around
845
00:38:07,965 --> 00:38:08,925
for my friends.
846
00:38:08,965 --> 00:38:10,235
Ting-ting.
847
00:38:10,275 --> 00:38:11,335
Hey!
848
00:38:12,000 --> 00:38:13,380
Hey. Hey.
849
00:38:13,379 --> 00:38:14,589
Give me your keys.
850
00:38:15,586 --> 00:38:17,166
I'm driving you home.
851
00:38:18,724 --> 00:38:19,834
move those seats
852
00:38:32,413 --> 00:38:33,623
Hi Mom.
853
00:38:34,172 --> 00:38:35,692
Double whiskey rocks, please.
854
00:38:35,724 --> 00:38:36,864
You got it, Iris.
855
00:38:39,000 --> 00:38:41,520
Found a lawyer yet or
is everything settled?
856
00:38:43,275 --> 00:38:46,205
All these parents care
about is the grade.
857
00:38:46,275 --> 00:38:47,855
Change the C to a B,
858
00:38:47,931 --> 00:38:50,341
you're teacher of
the year again.
859
00:38:54,000 --> 00:38:55,590
Girl, what are you doing?
860
00:38:58,034 --> 00:39:01,414
I am out for a
drink with friends.
861
00:39:01,413 --> 00:39:02,663
Not alone.
862
00:39:04,482 --> 00:39:05,692
Here we go.
863
00:39:06,413 --> 00:39:07,763
Come on.
864
00:39:07,793 --> 00:39:09,933
Tell your mom how she's
supposed to live.
865
00:39:10,000 --> 00:39:12,000
Yeah, I'm not doing
this with you.
866
00:39:13,103 --> 00:39:15,243
What'd I tell you
about the sass?
867
00:39:16,068 --> 00:39:17,408
Let go of me, Mom.
868
00:39:17,413 --> 00:39:18,663
Or what?
869
00:39:19,517 --> 00:39:21,237
You gonna do something?
870
00:39:22,068 --> 00:39:23,408
Mhm.
871
00:39:25,000 --> 00:39:26,030
Useless.
872
00:39:29,655 --> 00:39:31,235
I don't understand, Mom.
873
00:39:33,344 --> 00:39:35,344
Why are you always
so mean to me?
874
00:39:36,758 --> 00:39:38,338
Did I do something wrong?
875
00:39:40,620 --> 00:39:43,030
You want me to tell
you how smart ya are?
876
00:39:43,068 --> 00:39:45,588
How talented? How pretty?
877
00:39:45,586 --> 00:39:46,926
Like they used to do me.
878
00:39:47,000 --> 00:39:48,620
So when you realize
there are people
879
00:39:48,689 --> 00:39:51,899
smarter, more talented,
prettier,
880
00:39:51,931 --> 00:39:54,411
you're left with
nothin' to hold onto?
881
00:39:55,586 --> 00:39:56,756
Not my girl.
882
00:39:58,448 --> 00:40:00,588
My daughter is gonna know,
883
00:40:00,620 --> 00:40:02,410
don't take nothin'
for granted.
884
00:40:04,448 --> 00:40:06,928
You're gonna have to
fight for everything.
885
00:40:08,068 --> 00:40:10,378
You might hate me,
886
00:40:10,413 --> 00:40:12,593
but you ain't never
gonna end up like me.
887
00:40:17,068 --> 00:40:18,758
Another, please.
888
00:40:26,068 --> 00:40:28,928
Can you go back to your
friends and leave me in peace?
889
00:40:53,689 --> 00:40:54,859
Keep it together, okay?
890
00:40:59,103 --> 00:41:00,833
Ma'am, licence
and registration.
891
00:41:04,655 --> 00:41:06,095
Just one second here.
892
00:41:06,137 --> 00:41:11,097
This is my licence and
registration is here.
893
00:41:11,137 --> 00:41:12,307
I'm driving my friend's car.
894
00:41:12,344 --> 00:41:15,314
I'm driving him home 'cause
he had too much to drink.
895
00:41:16,172 --> 00:41:17,692
And how about you?
896
00:41:17,689 --> 00:41:19,829
Have you consumed any
alcohol this evening?
897
00:41:21,137 --> 00:41:24,447
Um, not really.
898
00:41:24,482 --> 00:41:25,862
Not a lot.
899
00:41:25,931 --> 00:41:27,721
Ma'am, can you step
out of the car?
900
00:41:47,862 --> 00:41:52,832
like the sunshine
901
00:42:03,206 --> 00:42:10,026
like the sunshine
902
00:42:21,551 --> 00:42:22,721
Where are you going?
903
00:42:23,517 --> 00:42:24,547
Home?
904
00:42:26,724 --> 00:42:29,174
Just get in the car.
905
00:42:49,689 --> 00:42:56,519
like the sunshine
906
00:43:05,310 --> 00:43:11,970
like the sunshine
907
00:43:15,310 --> 00:43:16,450
