It's an invitation
to my execution.

He feels like he
has a home here.

I just don't think it's
healthy to give a boy.

Who's been through what he's
been through false expectations.

Dee needs money. She
was groomed and trafficked.

As a kid. Now she has
nothing, and nowhere to go.

You're gonna wanna think real
hard about your next move, wes.

- Yeah?
- They really don't like it.

When someone trespasses
on an officer's property.

There are always
more. You have no idea.

What he's capable of.

Then we just have to find them.

- What are you gonna do?
- We're gonna sue them.

For human trafficking.

- Is this a joke?
- Deal's different.

We're not willing
to pay cash for it.

They never did a
geological survey.

That's how they were able
to rush through phase one.

They didn't do any of the work.

When they reopened that mine,

They falsified all of
their documents, billy.

We know there's something
the mine doesn't want us.

To find out, but I don't
think it's the trafficking.

You said it yourself,
it's a literal gold mine.

- What if it isn't?
- There's no gold.

- Can we talk about this?
- There's nothing to talk about.

We don't have anything concrete.

The mayor said
it at the ceremony,

Millwood is into the mine.

We have a responsibility
to figure out how.

Not today, we don't.

Billy, this is a big deal.

Why are you
pretending like it isn't?

Why are you pretending
like your hearing.

Isn't tomorrow
morning? I'm not say...

Look, why don't you just
show me what you have.

- For the committee?
- I'm still tweaking it.

Well, show me
what you got so far,

And maybe I can
help you finish it.

- It's okay.
- I don't need your help.

We're in this together.

Crawford Chang. Remember?

Hello!

- Come in!
- Not a good time!

Grand-pops to the rescue.

- Thank you, hank.
- We really appreciate it.

Do we?

Don't worry, son. It's not my
first time through a childhood.

Yeah, that's what
I'm worried about.

That's my cue.

- Park's okay?
- Yes.

Okay.

- Seriously?
- We have work to do.

What's this?

The assayer's
report on the mine.

- Joanna...
- He said there was gold.

In the mine. This one person.

Is where this all started.

Billy...

This could be my
last day as a lawyer.

If you don't focus
on your hearing,

It almost certainly will be.

Alright. Where do we start?

It's called mokomon.

You scared me.

You know, after the
whole truck incident,

I figured you'd ask
before taking things.

I was just drawing.

I found it in a museum.

It was my great, great uncle's.

Ambroise lepine.
War chief to Louis Riel.

How'd you get it back?

I...

Told the curator it was cursed.

With the death of
ten million buffalo.

Dee, I'm thinking about
hanging a painting right here.

I don't know, what do you think?

What's it like outside?

Is it cold, or is it cold, cold?

What's wrong?

I found this by the front door.

- Wesley?
- Yeah.

It makes my skin crawl.

You know, as long
as he's out there,

I'll never be safe.

I-I can't do this.

Every time the
house even creaks,

I feel like my heart's
gonna pop out of my chest.

Dee...

- It's okay.
- It's definitely not okay.

It's never going to end.

No, dee, it's going to end.

We're gonna find him, and
we're gonna lock him up.

First you need to think...

Was there anything
that you didn't tell us?

Maybe where he could be?

- We were just at the motel.
- That's it.

Does he have any family?

They're all in Alberta.

He used to come to
millwood a lot as a kid.

He must have been
visiting someone.

Maybe check the payroll again.

See there's anything we missed.

Anyone we can put between
the women and the mine.

- I have already looked.
- Several times.

I thought Joanna was
supposed to help us?

- I don't know.
- Something must've come up.

I can't just sit
here doing nothing.

We need to actually go there.

Well, the place has
been on full lockdown.

Since the cops showed.

That wouldn't stop Joanna.

Well, joanna's not
here, remember?

Just me.

Taylor?

What about her?

We got shuffled out
when the police arrived,

But she didn't.

She is the police.

She can't tell us anything.

Yeah, maybe, but...

She was my best friend
before she became a cop.

Matheson, you're looking
into Wesley Salazar?

Yeah. He came here
to millwood as a kid.

- Your hunch was right.
- He got into some trouble.

Vandalism, shoplifting

I thought youth
records were sealed?

Unless you commit
an adult crime.

Before they're
sealed. It's a glitch.

Arrest record has an address.

- Local?
- A farm up near sparrow creek.

Thank you.

I hope it helps.

Millwood police, how can I help?

Did you write about
Matheson steel?

It's probably the
best indication.

Of how much you've
changed, right?

They just want to see
that you've undergone.

A transformation.

Northward forest
was a lifetime ago...

Just stop.

I know that you're
trying to help.

I need to focus on
this case right now.

Pretending this isn't real
won't make it go away.

I know that, billy.

Do you have a second, sir?

I got a promising
lead on Wesley.

A farm up near sparrow creek.

Well, when Thorpe is
back, go check it out.

I don't want you
going up there alone.

Copy.

Is that it?

No...

Is everything
alright with you, sir?

Sure.

I've just been covering
phones this morning, and...

There was a complaint.

Just leave it on my desk.

Matheson, what is it?

It's a complaint about you.

A mr. Terry Clark
said that you...

Threatened him
and kidnapped a boy.

- Chief?
- What did you tell him?

I took the call, I have to
follow up on the complaint.

It's my duty.

Right, of course. Just.

I'm obligated under
the police services act.

To notify the independent
investigation unit.

I need you sit on it.

I'll go talk to him.

- We could both...
- Lose our jobs.

I won't let that happen.

Just buy me a few hours.

Um, about the Wesley matter,

I have to look into that first.

Exigent circumstances.

We don't do the actual drilling.

We take the samples, and...

Test them to see
if there are certain.

Valuable elements within them.

How do you test for that?

- Well, there's a few ways.
- We use fire.

To burn away the refuse
and determine the purity.

Of metals in the ground.

So after the
samples are drilled,

You handle them?

I oversee the
samples from the site.

All the way through
the testing process.

And how accurate
are the results?

Fire doesn't lie,

And we triple check all our
work to isolate any anomalies.

What is it you're testing for?

I could be more specific.

You handled the assays
for the oro-north 1 mine?

Mr. Gurriel?

No. Well, yes. Sorry.

We did handle the
assays for the mine, yes.

Um... But you...

Were the assayer
for those tests?

We did them, yes.

No, I'm just asking
if you personally.

Handled those samples.

So if you tie someone
from the mine to the women,

You can sue them?

We're trying to, yes,
but we're out of names.

I don't want to ask
you to do anything.

That'll put you or
your job at risk, but

Stewart Atherton.

What was that?

He was one of
the security guards.

Who was definitely
hiding something, but.

We didn't have enough.

Information to hold him.

According to the police, no
crimes were being committed.

Any, anything you have...

Yep, here it says.

That he filed a missing
persons report on his daughter.

Three years ago.

Know where we can find him?

No, I don't have an address, but

I'm pretty sure he's back
at work, if you can believe it.

- Are you sure?
- - Yeah.

We let him go, so I'm not
giving you anything official.

Besides, I'm tired on
waiting for justice to show up.

I gotta go.

Okay, thanks.

Okay.

Does the party ever end?

Only when you show up, chief.

Where's my boy?

You filed a
complaint against me?

That's some good
detective work there.

I ain't a cop, but seems
fishy to investigate.

A complaint about yourself.

Last time I was here...

Maybe it wasn't the
right move. I get it.

That's your version
of an apology?

I'm trying to make things right.

I want to give kip a good home.

A regular mother Theresa.

Different kinda Indian, I guess.

How do we make this go away?

Money?

Bring another one
of those wads around,

- And I'll drop the complaint.
- That's extortion.

So is your coming to my house.

I'm not asking you for anything.

- You want the kid.
- And you obviously don't.

- Don't matter what I want.
- Court says he's rightfully mine.

And you really think
you can provide for him?

- He'll grow up same as I did.
- He'll figure it out.

Or die trying.

I know you're selling oxy.

One phone call, and your
little plan goes up in smoke.

Do your worst, man.

Unlike you, I got
nothing to lose.

"There are substantial
gold deposits left.

In the property
obtained by oro-north 1.

For the purposes of mining."

The mine made this claim
based on your reports.

If it's in the report,
then that's what I said.

Is there something that you
aren't telling us, mr. Gurriel?

No.

That's it? No?

Were you party to, or aware of,

Any action to
falsify the samples.

Taken from the property
owned by oro-north?

I'm going to have to
ask you to leave. Now.

What did you do to
the samples, George?!

Do you have any idea the
damage you've caused?

I'm calling security.

That won't be necessary.

We're done here.

- He did it, billy.
- We have to tell the mayor.

Yeah, he obviously did it,

But that doesn't mean we
have to move on this today.

Tillman gets George to say
that the mine is full of gold.

People invest millions in stock,
and then he walks away rich,

- Claiming it was a mistake.
- Joanna.

We have to talk
about your defence.

You just tell me the
plan, and I'll drop it,

Then we can do
whatever you want.

You don't have anything.

- I can't.
- I don't know what to say.

It's okay. We still have
time to build a defence.

There is no defence.

You were a different lawyer
then, a different person.

Billy, they are not
gonna see it that way.

Why are you willing to fight
for everyone but yourself?!

I have one day left
as a lawyer, that's it.

I'm not going to waste
it fighting for myself.

When I don't even know
if I deserve to be one.

The old Joanna, the
one who's on trial,

She would've put her
career ahead of all of this.

She did.

I am not gonna let
another town be destroyed.

So that I can keep my job.

It's not a job.

It's our life.

- Come on.
- The mine is lying.

You sound like a broken record.

You forced through faulty
environmental appraisals, why?

Look, I am trying
my very hardest.

To breathe economic
life back into this town.

No, why did you need to?

We have reason to believe
that the samples were salted.

That there is no
gold in the mine,

And that Tillman knows.

Wow, you will say
anything, won't you?

Have you seen any gold?

No, but I haven't seen
any pine martens either.

Look, whatever it is that
you're doing, it's done.

Okay? It's over. There's
going to be a mine in millwood.

That's what we're
saying. There isn't.

Mayor freeman.

I swear on my
daughter's life, this is real.

Okay, I'll bite.

Why do you think
there's no gold?

- The assayer was lying.
- If we leaned on his samples,

- They wouldn't stand up.
- That's not enough.

Look, millwood is
buying into the mine.

I-I'm not gonna shut down.

A deal worth
millions on a hunch.

Wait, that deal hasn't
gone through yet?

The closing is today.

I thought that's
why you were here.

Who's he?

We think he was the one.

That was letting
the vans through.

Why do you think that?

Taylor's pretty sure he
had something to do with it.

Shouldn't she arrest him, then?

She can't. It's complicated.

If we could get
enough to sue him,

We could dig up more.
Then maybe they'd arrest him.

Okay, then what do
you need from me?

If you could just place him.

If you saw him do anything.

- Alright. That's him.
- He did it, then.

Did what?

You tell me.

We don't want you to lie.

I was in the back of a
van and all messed up.

Maybe if I heard his voice.

How much do you
wanna bet he destroyed.

The core samples too?

There goes our evidence.

What did I do?

No, no, no, no, no, no.

You knowingly entered
into the agreement.

You've gotta be kidding me.

I'm sorry, the money
is already in escrow,

And I can't pull it
now without cause.

I told you that when
you signed the deal.

Yeah, but that was
before I found out.

That he was ripping me off!

Can you prove that
he's committed fraud?

Yeah, okay. Okay, so...

So, so what? The
money is just sitting there.

In your account and there's
nothing you can do about it?

I'm an escrow
agent, not a judge.

If you find something
that shows they lied.

When they made the deal,

Then you could back out.

Proof of anything, really,
but you need something.

And I would hurry, the deal
closes at six o'clock today.

I bet an hour after
the deal closes,

The money's in the caymans,
and Tillman is on a plane.

No, it's all there.
It is, it's all there.

What's all there?

Millwood's reserves.

He offered me, millwood,

A chance to get in
on the ground floor.

This is everything that
the town needed, so I

I gave him everything
the town had.

Millwood is bankrupt.

I can fix this.

I know it's a long shot,
but I can help millwood.

Billy, they want to hang me.

For what happened
in north falls,

I can't let that
happen again here.

Joanna...

Are you really willing
to risk everything.

To save a town that's
gonna hate you for saving it?

You want me to fight?

Help me prove that I
am worth fighting for.

You caught her on the right day.

Wh... Why is that?

It doesn't matter.

Mayor freeman, we are yours.

Until six o'clock tonight.

Thank god.

- The closing's in...
- No, we can still do this.

We just need to
find any kind of proof.

How do you prove that
something doesn't exist?

A whistle blower?

Seems like only
Tillman and the assayer.

Are in on it. And
tillman's a non-starter,

And the assayer is gone,

Along with the core
samples, which frankly,

Is the proof we needed.

- So, new core samples.
- We drill our own,

Pull them up against
the results of the old ones.

- Okay, how do we do that?
- I might have a guy.

New core samples
would point to fraud,

It wouldn't prove it.

But either way, we
could say that the deal.

Was done on false information.
That could actually work.

- His phone's off.
- But it's ten minutes away.

I'll keep looking for something.

I know.

I'll buy you as much
time as possible.

Hi, chief.

I wanted you to know the
issue with the complaint.

Has been resolved.

That's great, sir.

- I appreciate your discretion.
- It was just a misunderstanding.

You don't need to
explain that to me.

I owe you one. Where are you?

I'm at sparrow
creek, but I'm just

I'm just taking a look.

Any sign of him?

No sign. There's
no sign of anyone.

But it's a big property.

I need to get closer.

Don't try and do
this alone, Taylor.

Taylor!

I just want to see if he's here.

I'll radio you if I need backup.

Just be safe.

You sure you want to do this?

Luna said it's worth a shot.

As long as terry signs.

This could get ugly.

It's a crazy theory. There
are things put in place...

A neutral,
reputable third party.

I've worked with emp
assayers before, they're straight.

You ever worked
with George gurriel?

As far as I can tell,
the process is only ever.

One corrupt geologist
away from a misfire.

Billy, this is a
heavy accusation.

- Things like this don't happen.
- Often.

They don't happen often,
but you and I both know,

They've happened before.

Why else do you think they
stopped the digging, Larry?

They don't want you going
down there to see for yourself.

If you don't get
out in front of this,

Not only will the union
be at the leading edge.

Of the fallout, but there
won't be any company left.

To sue for back pay.

What do you need me to do?

There he is.

Are you sure you
want to do this?

This is how we get them, right?

It's the best shot we have.

Okay.

There's no admittances today.

You have to turn
your car around.

- Is that him?
- Yeah.

- Mr. Atherton?
- Who's asking?

Did you know the
women in those vans.

Were there against their will?

What?

Is she...?

You're damn right she is.

Listen, I didn't...

Just 'cause you didn't
get charged with anything,

Doesn't mean you
got away with it.

I'm coming for you.

I'll put your face
on the front page.

Of every single
newspaper that I can...

- You can't do that.
- I'm not a cop, mr. Atherton.

I can do whatever I want.

And when the public
calls for your head,

What do you think the
cops are gonna do then?

- I didn't do anything.
- Don't lie to me.

Lie to her.

What would your daughter think?

Yeah, I know she's missing.

I know that when
you filed your report,

She wasn't much
younger than dee.

Dee.

That's her name.

Look at her.

Any time one of those vans
came to the... To the gate, I.

I changed the log
book. Okay? That's it.

And what did you get out of it?

My job.

I'm barely holding
it together here.

So when the security
company hired me, I just...

Listen, I knew it was bad...

But I didn't know it was women.

So, I didn't know, I
swear I didn't know...

Wait, you don't work
for the mining company?

Cross tower securities.

The mine wasn't aware of it?

- I don't think so.
- Then you're useless to me.

- Alright, they're here.
- Tell me you have something.

Environmental reports,
elise's original opinion letter,

Which is ironic,
but not helpful.

- I need ten more minutes.
- You don't have ten minutes.

Okay look, I know you think
I should've listened to you,

But you weren't right either.

You put one person's
farm over the well-being.

Of the entire town.

This is clearly about
more than helen's farm.

Yeah. Yeah, it is.

But you didn't
know that, did you?

Hi.

They're on it, but
it could take hours.

To drill new core samples.

Okay, I'm out of time, I
have to go back in there.

I will delay them
as long as possible,

- But, I've got nothing.
- You don't have nothing.

You just don't have proof.

I've seen you do a hell of
a lot more with a lot less.

You got this.

Okay.

What are you doing here?

The unemployment
office is down the hall.

I'm sure you're
very disappointed,

But I'm not dead yet. In fact,

Crawford Chang is
now representing.

The town of millwood.

Shall we get started?

I should've seen it coming.

Contracts are
complicated on purpose.

No. I knew something
was off with that assayer.

How do you mean?

The guy got his hands
on the samples, right?

But then said he
wouldn't test them.

- Until he talked to the owner.
- And that's unusual?

Unusual? Yeah.

Then one of the accountants
was walking by the garage,

Said he heard a fight.

Seems like a red
flag now, but...

Do you have any
security footage?

No.

I haven't seen it myself,

But I'm sure we could dig it up.

- But he let us in.
- He said he did.

I know.

But he doesn't
work for the mine.

There's no connection,

Which means there's no money.

So the mine just
gets to walk away.

Like nothing happened?

It looks like they didn't know.

Well, they damn
well should have.

I need some air.

What did she just say?

She said they should've known.

Stevie, look.

At least 20 articles
that point to trafficking.

And prostitution in
rural mining camps.

So what?

They were aware this
was a consistent issue.

Across the industry.

They should've known.

Reckless indifference.

Corporate negligence, even.

They ignored it so they
didn't have to spend money.

Addressing it.

- This can work.
- This could work.

We have a statement
of claim to write.

Help! Please!

- Don't worry.
- I'm the police.

I'm gonna come get you!

You're here under
false pretense.

The deal's already done.

George gurriel has disappeared.

Who?

The assayer. And he took
the core samples with him.

This is all a half-cooked way.

To get your client
out of a contract.

Why would I want to stop
millwood from making millions?

Do you have any proof?

I am simply asking
that we delay.

The closing of escrow until
we can get new samples.

That prove what
mr. Tillman has said.

Surely that shouldn't
be a problem.

If the original
samples are accurate.

No.

Why are we even talking.

About this? You're
in conflict of interest.

Why the rush to get
shovels in the ground,

But now you aren't even digging?

Her real client is Helen graham.

Ms. Chang has clearly
manipulated mayor freeman.

Into paranoia to get
her client's farm back.

And she's willing to take
down the entire town to do so.

Helen graham is
no longer my client.

Because she is in a coma.

One of the mine's
employees ran her off the road.

I'm here solely for millwood,

And as its new counsel,

I am asking you to
remake all your terms.

You want to remake the terms?

- That's a formality!
- Since you're here.

This is an abuse
of her position.

We came here as a
courtesy, for a celebration.

I'm sorry, ms. Chang.

So far, I don't see
any proof of fraud,

Or any reason to
force the other parties,

Myself included,
to sit through...

- You have to let me state...
- Again, not a judge.

We're leaving.

What were you planning?

Claim you made a
mistake, and then walk away.

With everything? Or were
you gonna pin it on the assayer.

And play it like you were
the one who was conned?

You know, for
such a clever girl,

You forgot to do one thing...

Prove it.

There isn't anything
in the garage,

But they have a
camera on every door.

Are there any other entrances?

What happened?

Where are the files from before?

My assistant took them away.

Go get them, now.

Okay, why are you smiling?

I have a plan.

Billy, I love you.

Go, now!

Okay.

Beckbie.

Beckbie, I...

What are you gonna do?

Shoot me?!

I'd be doing the world a favour.

- I don't think so.
- Don't come any closer!

You hurt people,

And you get away with it.

Not today.

Not ever again.

Drop the knife now!

Turn around.

Get down on the ground.

She's not gonna talk.

I'm inside her head.

She's stronger than you think.

Wait.

Come on.

Isn't this harassment?

I have a few more questions.

Ms. Chang, this is
getting ridiculous.

Do you have any reason to
believe that George gurriel.

Would have falsified the
samples he took from your mine?

- Don't answer that.
- No, it's fine, this is over.

No.

Did you have a prior
relationship with him?

- The assayer?
- The company hired him.

I've never met the guy.

Are you paying attention?

When we filed a stop
work motion for 30 days,

You fought us tooth and nail.

To get 10 days taken off that.

Now you're free and clear,
only you aren't digging.

Is that a question?

You'll know when I'm
asking you a question.

It was never about the mine.

You fought our injunction
because it meant.

That you couldn't enter into
a private sale with millwood.

The geologist whose samples.

Were the basis for the
mine's feasibility study.

Has disappeared.

So, I have had
independently drilled.

New core samples.

They're on the way
to the lab as we speak.

It's only gonna
take a few hours.

Are you willing to wait?

I mean, that's a question.

This is insane.

I mean...

Is this charade
going to convince you.

Of anything other
than her being crazy?

She's not convincing her.

You want to make this deal?

I will agree right
here, right now,

If you agree to remake
one single specific term.

This is the original
opinion letter.

Signed by the mine's
lawyer, Elise mills,

Stating that from her
professional perspective,

Everything...

In the mine's claim
appears to be true.

Are you willing to
re-sign that letter?

Of course she is.

Your reputation is
why people hire you.

A reputation not just
for your legal expertise,

But for your due diligence,

And for your word.

I haven't seen anything
that would put me.

In a compromising position.

I have here a video.

Of mr. Tillman meeting
with George gurriel,

The man that he just
stated he had never met.

The man who has disappeared.

With the core samples in
question, and the kicker,

That video was taken the
day those samples were drilled.

What?

This is not a court. I
don't have to say anything.

No, you don't.

But Elise does.

Elise has an ethical
duty to uphold.

I know how much weight.

One of these letters can carry,

And I'm pretty
sure Elise does too.

Are you willing to
re-sign your opinion letter?

Of course she is.

This is it, Elise.

One last choice.
This case, beating me.

Or the rest of your career.

I...

Regretfully withdraw
my opinion letter,

And opt to step back
from the transaction.

You stupid...

Millwood was acting
on the good faith.

Of the mine and its counsel.

That good faith has been broken.

We move to
withdraw from the sale.

So in conclusion,

The defendants unjustly
enriched themselves.

And deprived the
plaintiff of safety.

Whilst on said property,

Causing harm and
irreparable emotional trauma.

The plaintiff therefore
claims against the defendant.

As described in paragraph one.

It's more dramatic
in the movies, but...

Still sweet.

We did it.

You did it.

What are you doing?

You know I came
here for you, right?

Yeah...

Look, today I saw this.

Beautiful, smart,
amazing lawyer.

Pull off something incredible.

But

I also saw what our
future might look like,

And it reminded
me of my parents.

I know they're rich, but...

You know, my parents also
haven't had a meal together.

Since I was nine.

Not because they
don't love each other.

Stevie, it's just this case.

Yeah, but there's always
gonna be another case.

Look, if this is
gonna work, like,

For the long haul,

Then I'm gonna need
some place in your life.

Are you breaking up with me?

I see a future with you, I do.

But

I think that you
need to figure out.

What that future looks like.

For you.

Maybe we can just
take it from there.

I'm going back to Winnipeg.

Wait.

I

I couldn't figure out why
you hated me so much.

I thought I was your mentor,
but you just kept coming.

- Look, Joanna, you won, okay?
- So just, just leave me alone.

When I was going through
the evidence for my own trial,

I realized that.

I was never supposed
to be a mentor.

David hanley was my father,

He was my mentor, and so.

I did what he did,
and what he did was...

You did the right thing today.

Something that I
wasn't capable of.

When I was put in
the same position.

You are a better
lawyer than I am.

You always were.

Kip, we have something
we want to tell you.

We figured out a
way for you to stay.

- For good.
- Or as long as you need.

We're, um...

We're going to adopt you.

Why would I want that?

No...

- It's official.
- As of 9:01 this morning,

Oro-north 1 filed
for bankruptcy.

- They're dissolving.
- We knew that was coming.

We did.

Hank got us groceries.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

No?

We're gonna be okay, right?

We have a plan, a good one.

No.

But...

We're gonna be okay.

We are.

Aww...

That's... That's Luna.

I told her to swing by.

Do you want me
to break it to her?

Yeah.

Hey. It's okay.

Come here.

You did a great job.

You did.

The mine's gone.

Dee's not gonna get anything.

This was completely
out of your control.

I promised her.

I promised her I would
help her get justice.

And I failed her.

- I failed all of those women.
- Luna, you did not.

You didn't fail them.

Hey.

Where's Stevie?

Okay, listen to me.

This is going to be fine.

I know. I know...

That it feels like
everything right now.

Trust me, I know that.

But you're just starting out.

I was just trying to do.

What I thought
you would've done.

Well...

Maybe that was your problem.

Does this ever get easier?

Definitely.

Not. Um...

At least not yet.

When I look at what you did,

It reminds me why I
wanted to be a lawyer.

In the first place.

This world is not
ready for Luna Spence.

Okay.

Ms. Chang...

This is a preliminary inquiry.

Into your continued
ethical fitness.

In the practice of law.

A complaint has been
made against you.

To the Manitoba bar association.

This hearing is to determine
whether you will be sent.

For a full trial to the
disbarment committee.

- Do you understand?
- Yes.

- Is this your counsel?
- Yes. William Crawford.

I'll be representing ms.
Chang in this hearing.

- Very good.
- We have a prepared statement.

We would like to
read into the record.

In due course, mr. Crawford.

You have been accused of
conduct unbecoming a lawyer.

And, ms. Chang, the
allegations are troubling.

Members of the legal
profession must uphold.

The twin pillars of
honesty and integrity.

My client is facing disbarment.

The loss of her
career and livelihood.

She should be afforded
an opportunity to speak.

The committee will
hear her statement.

I love being a lawyer.

It is, um...

It's an honour...

And a privilege.

But

I have not fulfilled my oath,

And I have failed to uphold.

The duties and responsibilities
of the practice of law.

So I respectfully...

Resign my license.
