Because you can't take

We respectfully submit
a notice of objection

To the land use tribunal
for the approval

Of phase one
of the oro north 1 mine.

I am filing this challenge
on behalf

Of ms. Helen graham of millwood.
She's the owner

Of lot 3456, abutting the site
of the proposed mine project.

We unreservedly object
to the approval of phase one,

And request an immediate delay
for further study.

- Elyse mills.

Lawyer representing
gold star resources,

The owner of oro north 1.

We have already submitted
an extensive study

Which the tribunal has approved.

- Not true. They failed to do
a proper environmental review.

- We are reopening
a dormant mine.

An extensive and thorough
environmental study

Was previously completed.
- In 1982.

A lot has changed.

In the past months,
even the exploratory drilling

Has caused my client
undue physical harm

And mental anguish.

- We've made a series
of concessions to ms. Chang

And her client.
- Concessions require conceding.

- We're trying, but ms. Chang
keeps moving the goal line.

We've offered
a generous purchase price.

- My client isn't
interested in selling.

- Ms. Chang is attempting
to extort our company.

- My client has the right

To the peaceful enjoyment
of her land.

(elyse sighs)
- when I was a young lawyer,

Joanna was my mentor.
I saw how she operates.

She doesn't play well
with others.

- My client has been subjected
to constant harassment.

Her land has been vandalized.

She herself has been followed
and threatened.

- All of these allegations
are unproven.

Baseless and reckless
accusations used

To destroy people.
Another joanna trick.

We pride ourselves on being
exemplary corporate citizens.

- This company has moved
too fast, too soon.

They've used their influence
to silence dissenting voices

And bully my client
into selling her farm.

- Millwood needs this mine
and these jobs.

What it doesn't need is a lawyer
fearmongering, pressuring

Innocent citizens
like helen graham

Into a baseless legal action
just to make a buck.

Ms. Chang did this once before,

And it cost millwood
its steel mill.

(indistinct murmuring)

- Ok. So you came home
and the locks were changed?

- He waited 'til I left
this morning!

- He's saying that you didn't
pay your rent.

- I was only a few days behind.

- Ok. Uh, have you ever been
late before?

- A couple of times,
but I always pay!

What happens now?

- Well, the law is on your side,

But it's not gonna open
those locks anytime soon.

- All my things are in there!

I need my bike to make money.
I deliver food.

- I know. I'm sorry.
It's just we can't
promise that we'll get it back.

- Mr. Hardy.

Hi. We're from

- She didn't pay the rent.
- I understand, but tenants have

Rights and you can't
just change the locks.

- I run a business.
You don't pay,

You're out.
- You can't evict

Somebody without written notice

After a hearing.
- It's an unlawful eviction.

And if you don't give her
immediate access

To her apartment, we'll have
to bring an action against you.

- Pay the back rent,

Of two million ounces

And we'll extract it

To our neighbours,

- I thought you guys were
already married.

You don't wanna give a ring like
that to a woman like joanna.

You need to go out
and spend some real dough.

I mean, she's gonna laugh at you
if you give her that old thing.

- You don't know her.

- Billy.

- I've got 50 pages
of constitutional law to read.

Wanna order vietnamese?

- How about drinks
at the loyer?

- What?

- Ok. Don't be mad at me.

(luna sighs)

I showed your resume
to one of my dad's friends.

He's a partner at walter-cott.
It's a huge firm.

- Yeah, I know who they are.

- Well, he's going to be
at the gilroy club for 8,

And he wants to meet you.

- And why would I wanna do that?

- 'cause he wants
to interview you.

- I've made my plans, stevie.

- Why don't you just see
what else is out there?

- Why would I wanna go meet
an old lawyer at a club

To work at a place
I don't believe in?

And... Where I won't fit in.

- Wait, who says
that you wouldn't fit in?

- People like me don't go work
at places like walter-cott.

- Why not?
- Stevie!

I was raised by a teen mom
who worked as a night cleaner.

You wouldn't understand.
You went to private school.

- You know... Your mom?

She did also raise

One of the top law students
in the country.

It's one meeting.

(phone rings)

- Hey.
- (luna): [hey!
How'd it go this morning?]

- Well, I bought meth.
Little old me!

[what's up?]
- stevie set me up

On a blind job interview
with some big firm lawyer

At the gilroy club.

- That's a power move.

Doesn't she know
that you hate surprises?

- Yeah. And I already have
a job lined up.

- [are you asking what I think?]
- [obviously.]

- You should go.
Worst case it's terrible,

[but then you have
a good story.]

- I knew you'd take her side.

You ok?
- [yeah, yeah.]

Just, um...

Adjusting to working in
a quasi-military organization.

There's a big drug thing
going down tonight and, uh...

...I have to look the other way.

- [I'm sorry.]

You found an apartment yet?
- [no.]

I'm not sure
I'm laying roots just yet.

- Matheson! Let's go.
You're with me again tonight.

- Looking forward to it, thorpe.

- Personal calls
on personal time.

- I gotta run, luna.

- Don't violate
anyone's charter rights,

[officer matheson.]
- copy that.

- Let's go.

(pensive music)

- I really need
you to sleep tonight.

If you end up
in a bay street law firm one day

And you hear
the term "joanna'd,"

It's not true.

- What is it?
- Nothing.

(birds chirping)

- Who is in that suv?
- Don't worry.

It's just a litigation tactic.

- They've been following you?

- For a couple days.

(engine starts)
- hey!

Hey!

(tense music)

(bird chirping)
why wouldn't you tell me?

- I didn't think
it was relevant.

- Our baby was there.
- It's just intimidation.

It's a thing that happens
on cases like this.

- No! It's not a thing
that happens!

- Daycare needs more diapers.
- Ok.

- And she slept through
a feeding today.

- Well, that's normal.
That's just a growth spurt.

- This injunction will force
them into a better settlement

And then... And then
this'll all be over.

(cassidy chatters)
- I think she's

More beautiful
than I ever imagined.

- She is.

(soft music)

- I didn't... I didn't tell you

About being followed because
I know you don't like this case.

- The firm is busy.
We have a lot of other work.

- She asked me for help.
- Joanna, it's a lot to manage.

(sighs)
- ok.

If you have an opinion,
just say it.

- Maybe this could be
good for millwood.

People need jobs.
- That mine makes

A lot of promises.
But they're building a man camp.

Housing for a couple hundred
people on the outskirts of town.

Would they do that if they were
gonna hire local workers?

It's a con, billy.
And... You're falling for it.

They come in,

They take all the money,
and they leave.

I know because I did it.
(cassidy chatters)

I'm gonna put her down.
- No, I can do it.

- No, it's ok. Come on.
Hi. Get your arm there.

Let's go. There you go.
(cassidy whimpers)

- I don't know what to call her.

I keep saying
"she" and "the baby."

- Her name's cassidy.
- And that's final?

- (whispers): Come on, you.

- Hi. I'm meeting
a member in the lounge.

Luna spence.
- Right this way, miss spence.

Welcome to the gilroy club.

(jazz music playing)

- You?
- Hi, luna.

- You defended cleardawn labs.

- I did.
- They were stealing children.

- Lawyers have a challenging

And complicated job.

Have a seat.
- This is a waste of time.

I could never work
for someone like you.

- That's too bad. I was thrilled

To get your resume.
Top of your class.

Law reviews. Very impressive.

A lot like your sister. I love

Arguing against her,
even if she usually wins.

- Always wins.

- You came all this way.

- I already have a job lined up

At the north end legal centre.

- Well, they need good lawyers.

But what we could offer you is
to start your career

At the highest level,

Trained by top legal minds.

What I admire most about you,

Ms. Spence, is your courage.

Falsely accused
of a terrible crime,

And yet here you are.
That's character.

Your parents did
a tremendous job.

- It was just my mom.

- Well then,
she must be something.

(insects chirping)
(owl hoots)

- She drank most of it,

And I fell asleep.

- We need to wean her off
the night feed.

Otherwise, she's never gonna
sleep on her own.

(joanna sighs)

I've been going through
every dispute

That gold star has ever had
with landowners.

- Read that to her
if you want her to sleep.

- We just need to be consistent.

- Maybe you went back
to work too soon.

- They kicked me out
of the mommies group.

And I argued quorum.

(both chuckle)

The truth is, they just...
They don't really

Like me. And you know,
I never wanted

To be part
of a moms group anyway.

(phone rings)
- owen.

- [I'm sorry to call this late.
I found your business card]

At the scene of an accident.
The car belongs to helen graham.

- Yeah. That's, um, my client.
Is she ok?

- No.

She's not ok.
(siren blares)

I'm sorry, joanna.

(tense music)

(distant honking)

- We have eight offices
around the world.

New york, berlin.

We like to move
our associates around to broaden

Their experience.
Have you ever been to berlin?

- I made a promise
to the legal centre.

- A promise is different
than accepting an offer.

- Today, this woman got

Unlawfully evicted, and her bike

Is still locked
in the apartment.

- And you can't stop
thinking about it.

I'm the same way.

- If I worked for you,
she couldn't afford me.

- If you wanna make real change
in your community,

My firm is a door
to real power and influence.

That's an offer.

Summer job, associate position
after graduation.

Highest starting salary
in the city. Signing bonus.

Think it over.
My family is waiting

For me in the dining room.
Tab is open.

Stay as long as you like.

(chuckles)

(sighs)

(indistinct speaking over radio)
- you failed to make

A complete stop
at third and main.

Can I have license
and registration, please?

- Thorpe, I think there's
someone back here.

(tense music)

(indigenous singing
and drumming)

- They think she was
in the ditch a few hours

Before someone found her.

- Is she alive?
- Barely.

- I walked her to her car.
I saw her drive away.

- The officer said
she probably just fell asleep.

- How is that possible?
It is such a short drive.

- Well, she isn't young,
and she's stressed--

- No. I saw her drink
a gallon of lucy's coffee.

She didn't fall asleep.
- Maybe she was going too fast--

- She shares this road
with mining trucks!

She doesn't drive too fast!

- Why are you getting mad at me?

- Billy, this wasn't
an accident.

(joanna sighs)

- Driver failed to make
the full stop on main street,

So we pulled them over.
- Just happened to be the van

From the surveillance photos.

- We were in the area.
We saw them.

- Do you know who they are?
- We're not getting answers.

- They seem drugged.
- I bet they're not local.

You need to get them
to the hospital.

- Right away, sir.
- Chief.

The suspect is
in the back of our car.

(knocking)

(billy sighs)

- All right. Thank you.

They won't tell me anything
except that she's still

In surgery. Is she sleeping?

- Finally.

- If someone ran her
off the road,

Then it's a matter
for the police.

- If she doesn't pull through,
I don't have standing

To challenge the mine.
- Maybe it's over.

- There has to be another way.

I knew something bad
was gonna happen

And no one would listen to me.
- Joanna, stop.

(joanna sighs)

Hey.

Stop.

- Millwood is in trouble, billy.

- I know.
(joanna sighs)

First, you gotta sleep.

(joanna sighs heavily)
when she sleeps...

...We sleep.
- I can't.

(soft music)

(cassidy cries)

- (billy): I'll go.

It's my turn.
