We'd love to see what else we can afford, but...

...any house in our price range,

is already been marked for redevelopment.

Just not right that the city can buy our home without asking.

Hey, don't you worry,

we'll work something out. Won't we honey?

- Hank.

- Yeah, in a minute.

This is interesting.

Might be the biggest case of the decade.

You know I can always apply to defer my studies.

Don't you dare even think about it.

You'll finish college, getting a good job...

...and you buy me a nice razor.

You just focus on your studies.

Okay, I'm just saying...

Well don't, I don't like repeating myself.

Sorry, daddy.

Come and help us clean up please?

Yeah, in a minute. Looks like Harry Saltroy

is about to go down.

Rich, white folk don't go down. You know that.

I know but he switched his defense team.

You don't do that unless you're running scared.

2.7 billion dollars. And known to so many,

for his philanthropic work,

and continuing property develops,

has hired Cracknell, Crutcher and Fox to defend him.

Oh my...

Everything okay?

His new law firm, I'm in the running

for their internship program.

If I get in with them, then I'm set.

And this is great, I can give my presentation on this.

You don't wanna get mixed up in a thing like this.

Think of your razors dad.

Right? No point waiting.

I'm now gonna get back and get started.

- We love you. - Love you too.

I still think you should find something less controversial.

She gets it from you.

Hm.

♪

But dad you've gotta be the biggest client they have...

- No. - Can't you just call them

- ...and tell them to put me... - No. Tarquin

You better start putting in some work.

You think I got where I am today...

I know I know, you keep telling me.

Okay then grow up.

And start putting forth some effort.

Anyway, did you like the cufflinks I sent you?

Hello?

Yeah?

I want you to make absolutely sure that he doesn't go saying

anything to anyone.

Do you understand?

Yeah, I don't think that's gonna be a problem any more.

Jake? - Eh, good timing.

- Not today.

I've got a presentation. I start tutoring in five minutes.

- Beth, let me in.

- Yeah, I borrowed it.

I need it back.

What you need it for?

I just told you, I'm starting my presentation,

for CCF partnership.

I'll consider. What you're writing about?

Rehousing immigrants using manual labor for payment.

You wouldn't catch me doing manual labor.

Feel these palms, softer than satin.

I've got work to do. See you later

Bring back cookies.

- Hey girl. - Hey Sam.

What am I doing?

Sam? Hey, Beth.

Hey we're heading to the bar, you gonna come?

I-I don't wanna stop now,

I'm pretty much through with this.

Oh, come on you need a break.

Besides, Dylan is already at the bar.

The underground railroad?

You're taking a history class too?

No.

A lot of legislation that governs US labor law

stem from the abolition.

If I can show that Saltroy didn't step over the line...

Wait, wait, so you're defending?

Well he's our client.

He's exploiting people.

Well, that's speculation.

We do know that they owed him money.

Yeah, 30,000 dollars, they didn't even know about.

They have no access to medical care

They're being paid less than the minimum wage.

They have porta potties as their bathroom.

They're paying rent to live in a shed.

- Cat fight. - Shut up, Jake.

A good layer should be able to argue both sides of a case.

Yeah for a law firm that specializes

in defending the bad people.

There's so estimated what 12-27 million people in...

...in some form of slavery.

I'm not saying it's right.

I'm saying that it's my one shot to get into one of

the top law firms.

We recognize that slavery was wrong

and we just sent it underground and gave it a different name.

And this broken system, it just uses people like you

to work out how to defend the money.

Everyone has the right to a defense.

You know what? Let's discuss this over a drink.

I'm gonna clean up my stuff.

♪

Come in.

Hey Tarquin.

How's the work going?

Not well.

Sorry to hear. Sounds like you need a drink.

Boys and I we're just about ready to go. Wanna come?

Give me a few. I'll meet you guys there.

Okay.

♪

I'm sorry. I really struggling with the fact...

...that you're sitting at a bar with us right now.

Oooh, Samy.

I know I miss the old Sam.

- The old Sam was fun.

It means that I bet your tolerance for alcohol

has just like evaporated.

I bet after that one drink, we'll be carrying you home.

You should choose your battles wisely.

On that note,

I'm gonna get us all another round of shot.

Get cool.

Don't bother.

Ahem. So, Jake...

how's your love life?

Wh

Nothing, right

What?

Nothing...

Sam, I hear we're both up for the CCF summer program.

I thought you might want to work together on our presentations,

I think we'd make a good team.

That's not gonna happen.

And you might as well find yourself

a new job opportunity because...

...this girl is gonna walk...

...all over whatever you bring to the table.

Well, in the interest of sportsmanship,

I was wondering if you'd like to share your presentation case

I'd hate for us to be treading on each other's toes.

Fat chance of that.

You have to go through what? One hundred Fifty years

of research before starting stepping on toes.

Hooo.

How interesting.

Well may the best man win.

Or woman.

And Sam, if you should change your mind,

I'd make it more than worth your while.

Think about it.

Are you serious?

So just so that we're clear...

...I don't like him.

Alright, alright. Enough with that. Shots.

Alright. Thank you.

- Thank you. - Alright.

To our favorite friend.

You serious.

I don't know what this is.

I guess I won't make that one easy.

I don't know if I trust that.

Let's get this straight.

If we drink these, we still get to hate him, right?

Yeah. I think so.

-Okay. -Shots.

No, no more drinking. We're getting you home.

Stop. No. no.

No, we're going home.

How about I challenge him to a drag race?

How about you not?

You don't even have a car.

We're taking him home.

No, down the street. Come on now.

- Jake, wake up. - Mmm.

Where's my presentation work?

This isn't funny. Where's my work?

Aww.

Don't play stupid jokes. This is really important to me.

Hi.

Did anyone check in the books I took out

on the underground railroad?

Let me see.

Yew they were returned to the drop box early this morning.

but they were checked back out shortly after.

Who checked out the books?

We can't tell you that.

Sam?

Something wrong? You seem troubled.

You rewrote all my notes?

Sam I really don't know what you're talking about.

Are you feeling okay?

No.

Well, maybe you should sleep it off some more then.

Now, if you'll excuse me I have a lot of work to do.

Alright, Tarquin

you may think this little stunt is all good and clever.

But if you're gonna steal someone's staff.

Make sure you take all of it.

You think I just leave the basis of my argument

just lying around?

Without these pages, everything you have is nothing more

than cliff notes.

You obviously still need all this.

Why should I help the competition?

- Nothing.

It's not like you know what to do with it.

You don't even know what you're looking for.

Just because I'm rich doesn't mean I'm stupid.

Whatever is in here, I'll find it.

Who do you think you are?

A future lawyer at CCF partners.

Huh, not without my help.

Sam? Sam, Sam wait up.

I'm a fair man.

For that notebook and your time to outline all of it.

- You're a pig.

Just like your dad. You know that?

Ho, oh, where did that come from?

What does my father has to do with this?

You think you can just buy whatever you like?

I live in Foxdale.

Ooooh.

The Foxdale development this is funny.

You think this is funny?

My family is losing their home.

Okay, how about this.

I'll pull some strings

and get you a better price on your house.

I can move my family out of that neighborhood completely

with this job.

Sam, don't be so stubborn.

This is a great opportunity for you.

And if you do right by me, I'll put in a few good words.

My dad has a lot of influence over CCF.

They are his lawyers after all.

I'm gonna go with a "No".

I wouldn't' do that.

His influence goes both ways.

- That's not fair. - Face it.

I own you,

I'd rather run to Canada than help you.

Alright. Retrace the underground Railroad,

and if you can make it there without using a plane

or a car or anything that moves you faster

than a fugitive slave, I will give you your work back.

Don't be stupid.

I'll also get you a better price on your home.

You'll get them a good price?

Very good price, if you can make it there, within a week.

But...

...If you lose, then I get your notebook, time and insight.

You're on.

1840 Sam.

Hey, what's up Beth? Hey, have you seen Sam?

Sam? No, I haven't seen her.

Just tell us where she is. Where are you going?

Tell her we're looking for her.

Just wanna talk.

Are you kidding me?

He was at the bar all night, wasn't he?

That's what I thought.

The library's got it on file that you took the books out.

And the board has Tarquin's dad on file as a generous donor.

Besides it just shows I took out the books

it doesn't prove that the work is mine.

But he admits it.

Said it straight to my face.

- I went to professor Larson.

he said without proof, there's nothing they can do.

Okay then, he stole your notes,

Jake and I are gonna steal them back.

No, no one is gonna steal anything.

I'm not stooping to his level.

Okay, wait.

So, you're just gonna walk to Canada for some notes?

Sam?

I just got accosted by one of Tarquin's friends

asking where you are.

- Yeah.

Then I have no time. I have to go now.

What's going on?

I'll explain later. Beth can you hand me a map please?

Clearly we've all gone a little crazy.

we'd like to limit media coverage on this,

Not to mention taking measures to insure,

that whatever information he might have,

I can assure you that he won't be making

any public statements.

We appreciate that.

there's gonna be serious repercussions.

Especially if the press gets wind of this.

- Four. Come on.

Alright.

Fingers crossed someone's home.

Oh look at you. You're soaked through.

- You've got a long driveway.

Oh you must be Sam. Come in.

Yeah.

You must be chilled through on a night like this.

Yeah. - Come.

You can get showered up and freshened in the bathroom there.

Now, the large mirror is also a cupboard.

Just press on, it will pop open.

You'll find bathrobes in there, that you can wear,

while I put your wet clothes in the drier.

I have a nice meal staying warm for you in the oven.

We can't have guests leaving on an empty stomach

now, can we?

Especially when they have so far to go.

Thank you.

Hey, Sally. What are you looking for?

Just getting some breakfast supplies.

That weather outside is awful fierce for you to be in here

looking for breakfast supplies. Why didn't you just call us.

We'd had it to your weekend delivery.

Oh, no. I have an unexpected guest.

Oh, well you know, that's okay. I could had somebody

bring them in the morning.

It's no bother. Oh, and a dozen eggs please.

on when Sam will make the Canadian border,

Oh, look at that.

Travelling through? - Yeah.

- Business.

Oh, what kind of business?

Ah. Big time stuff, right?

It's gonna be $9.72.

Thanks a lot.

Hey, you're after those college kids, aren't you?

Maybe. Why, have you seen them?

No, but uh...

Hey, you cut me in and I'll take you there.

Alright, moving on and you're gonna love this.

Let's talk about this college story some more.

Oh, really?

The whole thing sounds like a publicity stunt.

Not the first time for a member of the Sanders family.

Who cares? The problem is the legality of it.

The legality is aside you really have to question

the morality of it all. Please do go on.

Tarquin Sanders has access to a lot of cash.

- Right. - Sam can't buy a result.

So what? This isn't a presidential election.

Good one. The point is... Tarquin is making himself

the South. He's every landowner that ever profited

from slave labor and he's using money to retrieve his runaway.

Wait a minute, so what you're saying is that Tarquin Sanders

is the plantation owner?

- No. I'm saying he's the perfect representation

of that side of the story.

It's like we never moved on.

- Well, slavery is being abolished.

That is... that's he had to be determined...

Absolutely. The jury is literally still out...

Alright, this is a very fascinating...

...Right now, we have a break.

So, Harvey Lorens, with the weather update.

You're listening to 106.2.

So, why are you really doing this Sam?

I'm the first person in my family to go to college.

My parents sacrifice everything to send me there.

I'm not gonna let anyone take my future away from me.

There are plenty of opportunities out there for you.

There are,

but the gender and racial pay gap,

leave a black female earning roughly 36 percent

less than a white male.

I have to fight with everything I have

to get to where I wanna be.

I think there's much more to you than that.

Sam, Sam, run.

Get inside quickly.

Come in.

This is private property you have no right to be here.

I'm sorry I must have the wrong house.

I'll let myself out.

They're going to the woods. Go on the back.

They've gone. Let's get you hidden somewhere safe

before they come back.

Let's get you inside. He's just my handyman, Derek.

Robert Barnard nearly missed out on the 2013

underground railroad bounty offer

when he encountered Sam Johnson and her accomplice Jake Turner

in a wooded area just north the Wingdale.

Wingdale? That's west of here.

What it says here. Maybe they're headed for the Hudson.

I don't know.

Could be just made up.

There's all kind of ridiculous things in the air.

College student spectacle

disrespectful of historic legacy,

Saltroy defense lies in the hands of pretend fugitive.

They're judging of a lot of emotions.

and they're drawing attention to the human trafficking

still going on today.

I think this is good.

O-Okay.

Let's get you back on the road.

So the coast is clear?

With a bounty on your head?

Then how are we gonna get out of here?

I have a surprise for you.

Keep your eyes closed.

Be careful, step.

A little tiny tiny.

You're ready? Open your eyes.

Ta-da!

You are looking to go hiking?

Yeah, something like that.

You know, there's a great trail, that takes you

up over past the lakes.

It's really beautiful this time of the year.

Oh, you're a friend of Sally's?

Yeah, I actually did see her. She took the old horse and cart

with Derek. You know they haven't done that for years.

Oh, it's the perfect day for it.

- Yeah, sure is.

Um...West up over Pleasant Ridge.

Say... who are you anyway?

What's with the questions?

Now, I know for a fact that they used horses and carts back then.

Sally, you're getting us killed.

Shut up, Jake.

I'm fairly sure, this isn't legal.

Oh, hush, we haven't that much further to go.

Now stop being such a baby.

You scare me Sally. I still love you,

but you scare me.

I'll let Beth know you dig older women.

What? Nothing.

Sam, Jake I want to introduce you to my son in law, Michael.

Hi, Michael, nice to meet you.

I rung Michael earlier and he's graciously agreed

to take you up river.

Young lady, this isn't going to be considered cheating

- North River Steamboat

Claremont Maiden Voyage was 1807 on the Hudson river, no less.

Oh well, listen, don't worry about it, as the wind blows

she's not much faster than one of those old steamers.

I got plenty of beer and foods so come on aboard.

Beers on board,

I got to hung out with old people more often.

Did he just call us old?

You're amazing thank you so much.

Welcome to the Ananda.

Now, she's not the most comfortable,

but she's reliable and she's steady.

And she's better than walking.

How far do you think we can get in two days?

Well, I'm hoping to get us all the way up to lake George,

It's 140 miles North.

♪

So you're really telling me

that you'd never heard of Crazy 8's until I brought this out?

No. No.

- So, I just took a... Yeah it's your play.

Okay, and it's got to be a...

It's got to be a heart or a five, or an eight.

Alright. Alright.

- Yup.

The youngest one there, that's Lulu Rose

my newest grand daughter.

Ouh little Rose.

Lulu Rose.

You sail often then.

Yes we do. As a matter of fact, we're gonna get her on board

next month. I guess sailing is my family hobby.

What about you?

You got any hobbies?

No, not really.

I don't get much free time outside of my studies.

Yeah, but you must have something for you.

Right?

I hang out with my friends when I can.

I tutor younger students.

Eh eh.. Is that part of your course?

No.

Then...why do you do it?

I don't know. I've always been this way.

When I was a freshman I found the support wasn't there

so I fill in where the system fails.

Uh, there it is... there's your hobby.

- Yeah, I guess it is. - Huh ha ha.

I like helping others.

Yeah, I really do.

Hey Mike can I pee off the side of your boat?

♪

Hey, guys...

...you might wanna stay below deck.

I think we caught some interest.

Anything serious?

I don't know yet.

Tarquin, Tarquin, you know where Sam is?

Might be at the Hudson.

Are you worried that people might hurt her

because of the reward?

I mean come on, Tarquin, people... they wanna know.

I can't dictate how people will behave, but no,

I don't believe anyone would be that stupid.

And what happens if and when Sam reaches the border?

She won't reach the border. Now excuse me,

you're making me break the rules.

All right, last question,

how is the underground railroad relevant to the Saltroy case?

I really can't answer that question.

Yeah.

Any news?

Okay, guys, this is as far as we can go.

Hudson Falls.

I'd take you further, but the river won't let me.

Thank you, Michael.

I really appreciate all your help.

It was my pleasure.

Now you two know which way you're going?

Ideally to a pub.

I guess we'll keep making our way north

- north and stay off the road. - That's a good idea.

It was great having you on board, good luck!

Cheers.

Mr. Cracknell what do you want?

This is taking too long,

I thought you'd have this handled by now!

I'm tracking her through the countryside,

I should have her shortly.

You are aware the media is watching,

handle her with kid gloves.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I'll do me, you do you.

I'm starting to get cold.

Let's keep warm in that barn for a bit.

That barn? What if we get caught?

It's fine! It's a barn.

Jesus was born in a barn.

It's the Christian way.

Jesus was born in a stable, and as the son of God,

it's a little bit different.

Only in size.

This happens to be our stable;

you're welcome to stay outside if you want.

I prefer Sally's place.

I was starting to think you preferred Sally.

Yeah. Your comment about

me, Beth and older women...

Don't worry about it.

Come on!

How should I put this... she likes you.

What, Sally?

No, Beth.

Always has, and you are the idiot

for not seeing it for yourself.

- Yeah.

We try not to hold it against her.

At least it means I won't be stuck with you.

Funny.

Great.

Someone is coming. I told you this was a bad idea!

Oh... oh.

Is someone in there?

I'm very sorry sir.

We didn't mean to disturb you. We just wanted some shelter.

Say, you're that college girl everyone's after.

Sorry, what do you mean by everyone?

You messing with my hay?

Just joking. Make yourselves comfortable.

- No, sir.

I'll get you some food.

Just make yourselves at home.

- Jackpot. - I'm not so sure.

Let's keep walking. Something about that man isn't right.

Yeah, letting us shelter here, bringing us food,

he's clearly a terrible man.

Let's get out of here while we still can.

Look, we're fine. Besides, I can take him.

Well, hello there, how can I help you?

I'm looking for some friends of mine.

A black girl and a white guy.

Think they may have passed through on this trail.

- Yeah. I've seen them.

They came by a few hours ago.

Nice kids, I sent them up the Creek Trail, north.

Which way is that creek?

Over the ridge, pick up the trail there.

Thank you.

Hello?

- I found the kids.

Okay.

Where is she?

Hm.

Jake, wake up, Jake, wake up.

Yes?

Wake up, the farmer is coming back.

All right, grub is up.

No, we've got to leave. Grab your stuff.

You're not leaving...?

You'll have to excuse my friend, she's a bit jumpy.

Well, actually, sir, we have a long way to go,

- so I'm just going to... - No, you're not leaving.

I'm sorry?

I'd take it back but then I don't know this guy.

Seems a lot of people are interested in you;

there's no point in looking back there.

Only two ways out of this barn:

Giving me the notebook or on the end of this here pitchfork.

Well, I bet Jesus didn't have to put up with this.

Shut up, Jake.

Now listen, there's no need to do anything stupid.

This is private land.

You're trespassing.

Two against one?

I have the right to defend my property.

Agh.

Jake, run!

Hey fellers, Frank is down!

What the hell was that?! Someone just threatened us!

Calm down, he threatened me!

I hear dogs. Why do I hear dogs?

That's just fantastic.

I didn't ask you to come with me

and I'm not asking you to stay! It is more than the notes,

it is about my family, and details I can't go into,

but we have to go right now!

What was that? - Nothing, keep running.

What the hell is wrong with you?

Well I thought we was out to get them.

We're not here to kill anyone.

Let's go.

Stop, Jake, stop.

I can't do this. I'm done.

No.

You're a good swimmer, right?

Yeah, why?

Because you are going to swim across that lake.

I'm going to create a decoy.

This bag is going to keep my clothes dry

so you won't be cold and wet when you get to the other side.

Well that works,

but why don't I just put my own clothes in the bag?

I thought this would be more heroic.

Look, I'd love to go into finer detail but time's pressing.

- Of course I am,

why wouldn't I be? It's a great idea.

I can't stop thinking about them.

It makes me sick I don't know where they are.

Yeah, and what they're doing with each other?

Ouhg. Stop it.

Look, I'm sure they're having a great time out in the wild,

making camp fires, telling stories, all that kind of stuff.

We ought to be getting close to them now.

Frank, how are you holding up?

I'm good. I'd like to skin those little...

This was a terrible idea.

Do you really think they're going to be okay?

Beth, they'll be fine.

Good afternoon, officer.

Good morning, honey.

Just these and the hat please.

Is that it?

These too.

♪

Reports are coming in that Yale student Jake Turner...

Excuse me, could you please turn that up?

Underground railroad story was picked up by local police

- outside Whitehall, New York. - No.

And get this, he was in his underwear.

We go now to an earlier report by Channel 15 News.

Jake, is it true that local farmers

forced you to hide up in a tree?

No, no, I just love nature.

Where is Sam Johnson?

She's somewhere far from here and she's doing great,

thanks for asking.

Do you know when she'll reach Canada?

When she's ready.

Have you been in touch with Tarquin Sanders?

Well, I try not to make social calls with men

when I'm in my underwear, although he does keep asking.

What a vague and aloof set of responses there

from Jake Turner, doing more to conceal Sam Johnson's

whereabouts than his own modesty,

but hinting that we might see the end of this story

any day now.

Next up, a story of how local mothers...

Trust Jake to get himself into the most asinine situations.

Screw this, I'm not going to leave him on his own.

- I'll call you from the road.

♪

Excuse me,

do you know how often the trains come through

on the other tracks?

Not as often as they used to.

The next one comes through tomorrow morning, about 9:10.

Thank you.

Well, there's no reason to hurry off.

There's nowhere to hurry off to.

Why don't you come and sit a while, have a drink.

Are you hungry?

Yes.

Thank you.

Of course back then the rules were different,

not like they are now.

Here comes the last train from Rutland.

Can I use the restroom?

Don't you want to see the train?

I do, but I'll get a good look when I get back.

I just really need to use the restroom.

Ah, right you are.

Just into the house, and down the hall,

last door on the left.

You used to really enjoy your trains when you were younger.

Young boys are supposed to like trains,

now all I see are trains.

- Good afternoon.

How do you do?

I could be better.

I'm looking for my friend have you seen her?

Is she your girlfriend?

I don't think I'd interest her in that way.

- Told you. - Shush now.

Wha

What?

Beth, what the hell are you doing here?

Yeah. It's good to see you too.

Came to help you out.

Wait, are you okay?

Yeah. Yeah. I'm not under arrest or anything,

they just want me to hang around

while they clear up some indiscretions.

People are going crazy over this.

Yeah. Do you even know which way Sam was headed?

North, I don't know.

I was too busy playing kiss chase with Lassie animals.

Oh, but I wasn't kissing them.

I quite like girls...

...for kissing. Em...

I quite like you.

- Oh... - Not in a weird way.

No, no, no, no.

Em...Look, why don't you just call me when you're done here.

I'm just joking, I don't actually fancy you.

You're an idiot.

What the hell!

Hey, what in the hell are you doing?

Sorry really, I'm not trying to do anything.

Lift that hat when you're talking to someone.

I'm not here to cause any trouble.

Well I'll be... I know you.

Do you realize tampering with these doors is an offense?

I'm really not trying to do anything,

- please don't call anybody... - Hey, relax,

we're heading north about 20 miles shy of the border.

You're welcome on.

I just can't let you ride in one of these.

Lock them down and we'll roll out.

Come on, let's get you cleaned up.

Yeah.

What's the latest?

She's headed north through Noth Hampshire...

The New Hampshire border?

Yeah on a train.

When will the train get there?

Okay.

I don't know, but I'll be there to meet her.

Ok. Just get the job done. Thank you.

Hey.

I'm looking for a black girl, blue coat, about 5'5

Hey, have you seen her?

Yeah. That's good,

but don't be so specific.

Just say between Maine and Vermont,

and up the reward to $20,000

- Yeah.

And then say that we hope she hasn't forgotten her passport.

Okay. So...

Sam is expected to be at the border within a few hours,

reward has been raised, anything else?

- No.

- I'm headed to the border.

To the border?

Unbelievable.

- Hi,

so they think Sam's going to cross over New Hampshire,

but there's only one road. It's...

Yeah. Yeah. I know, I'm headed there now.

- He's fine. Dressed and with

me. I'll explain later, okay? - All right.

Oh.

Yo dude, you mind if I come along?

Sure.

Sorry, sir, you're not allowed to be here.

I know that.

I think you're carrying some extra cargo

that I'm interested in.

Excuse me?

The girl. She just came through here.

Look man, I don't want to lose my job.

It's fine.

It's just a game.

It's not like anyone is going to get hurt.

And besides, I'll make it worth your while.

Where is she?

She's headed north on the 3.

She has about a 45-minute lead.

Ah.

No, no, no, no, no.

Oh.

Ah.

Hey, hey.

Hey, you're okay.

All right? Listen, I'm here to help you.

I am one of the good guys.

Okay.

So if you'll stop throwing things at me please...

Seriously, you're okay.

Except for the...

How is it feeling?

I don't know.

It hurts.

May I?

Ah. Ah.

I know it hurts but...

you should be able to walk it off.

I'm Bear.

I'm Sam.

Sam?

So you're one of the good guys?

You know, there's lots of people trying to get in on the action.

My car is parked just up the road.

You should let me drive you across the border.

You're tired, you're hurt, and you don't need to do this.

How far am I?

Well, about a mile.

Thank you, but no.

I didn't make it all this way to cheat my way

across the finish line.

Maybe you don't understand the mess you've got yourself into.

There are people waiting for you;

No one has to know.

I'll know.

Okay.

Then I'll see you there.

Huh.

Aahh!

Shh! Shh!

Seriously, shut up, before I shut you up.

Now Sam, here's what is going to happen.

Some friends of mine would like to talk to you,

so you're going to come with me and not give me any problems.

Right?

Hm.

Right?

If you get me across the border...

- I'm all yours. - There's no if in this.

Well, I'm sure there is.

If I start screaming, then the police will hear me.

Get me across the border and I won't be a problem.

All right. I'll get you across

and then we come straight back.

Get out of my way, move. -There she is.

- Oh. - Miss,

I need to see your passport please.

Yeah. I have my driver's license in here somewhere.

Afraid I'll need to see your passports to grant entry.

What

Since June 2009.

- But it's Canada. - I win, Sam!

Can I claim asylum?

I win!

Refuge from persecution.

Don't think you want to do that.

So what's the hold up?

Sam, give me the notebook!

- I don't have a passport. - It's over, I win!

Tarquin, would you shut up already?

- I found this on the bookshelf. - Ha.

I thought to myself, it might be important.

- Just kidding. Sam, Sam!

Congratulations to you. Welcome to Canada.

You're not even in Canada.

I mean, you are, but where you are standing was disputed

until the Webster Ashburn Treaty of 1842,

two years after the date we agreed.

It's far enough Sam, let's go.

Sam, stay where you are.

Bear?

She's with me.

Really? You're going to walk across the border

and go get her? Take a hike.

Ah.

Looks like self-defense to me.

His name's Kirk Hamilton.

You want to run that through your system.

Your father wants to see you in his office tomorrow morning,

9:00 a.m.

Thank you.

How's that ankle?

Feeling better.

One-hundred thousand dollars for whoever grabs that girl.

- Shut up.

One-hundred thousand dollars! Come on, people,

that is double what any of you make in a year.

Why isn't anyone grabbing her?

Tarquin, were you aware of the issues at the Canadian border?

Who was that man with Sam?

Are you going to continue to pursue her?

Well, Robert,

I'm sure the Californian sun is improving your game.

Bill, it's nice to catch up with you,

but you didn't call me for a round of golf:

what's on your mind?

I want to set up a new venture.

Okay.

Set up a law firm that benefits low-income households,

underdogs, you know the sort.

Well legally, you can't.

Bear.

Is your real name hard to pronounce or something?

It's a nickname.

You don't have to escort me you know.

I'm here for your safety.

I made it this far, didn't I?

Well,

you had your friends and you had people take you in

and give you safe passage;

now if someone does catch up with us,

now you have me.

Wait, how did you know that?

I'm here for your safety.

Have you been following me this whole way?

Nice work with the farmer by the way.

- No, but you can... - I haven't practiced in years.

I'm happily retired.

I don't need you to practice my friend,

just sign paperwork and lend your name to it all.

Why are you following me?

I am just doing my job.

Someone paid you to do this?

Am I in trouble?

If this is about the notebook, then let me tell you now...

Someone wanted you to stay safe.

That is my job.

It is not my job to question peoples' motives,

okay?

But since you brought it up,

what is so important about that notebook?

Absolutely zilch.

I had nothing... Well, that's not true.

I really thought I was on to something but then I realized

you can't defend something that has no moral justification.

Profitability should not be a defense.

Well how do you propose I fund it?

A fistful of retained clients who pay

top-dollar for sound legal representation.

The sort of companies that are subsidiaries and me.

You mean you left CCF?

I gave them my heads-up this morning,

so I'm banking on you coming through for me.

So you had to go through all this to realize that?

You know what, I think I did.

All the jobs I was looking at, the money, the prestige,

things I thought I wanted,

but the corporations looking for loopholes,

let them do whatever they want,

I don't want to be a part of that.

God only knows what I'll do now.

Well, right now, you're going to make yourself invisible.

You're going to hide right there

and I'm going to go down the road and make sure it's clear.

There's a particular employment contract

I want to discuss with you,

but that can wait.

Do us all a favor.

Never play hide and seek.

Jake What's going on?

We've come to pick you up.

Wait, I'm confused.

What about the border thing?

No, no, no, Tarquin was wrong.

Well, there was a border change, but it was in Maine.

At least he's got a pretty face, huh?

So we're all done?

We're all done.

Thank goodness for that.

How did you find me?

Interesting, that one.

So this black dude down at the border

gave me directions on where to find you,

and he also gave me this letter.

It's from a Mr. Phillip Sanders.

Wow.

He says he wants to meet me at 10:00 a.m.

- tomorrow morning. What?

Yes? Please, send them in.

Hello.

Please, come in.

I trust that your journey here wasn't too uncomfortable.

Well, the car ride was comfortable;

helicopter ride was wicked.

How much do one of those things cost?

Sam, you've had quite the adventure.

I'm not sure whether to offer you my

congratulations or my commiserations.

So I'm sure you've come to the conclusion

that CCF Partners have retracted their offer.

- Pretty much.

That's ridiculous.

Not now, Tarquin.

However,

they are very interested to see

what you've been sitting on

since it's been established that

Tarquin has no insight on the subject.

Thank you.

There's not much here.

I couldn't find anything that

they wouldn't have found already.

And I don't think I want to keep looking.

Hm...Interesting.

So...

...what now?

I want to help people, people who can't help themselves.

You have no idea how fortunate your words are.

I'd like you to take a look at this please.

I've learned that you have quite the promising legal mind.

This is Phillip.

Bear, yes, the money will be wired tomorrow morning.

Thank you, sir.

So, if that's something you'd be interested in?

Obviously it's going to take some time to

set up something like that,

and clearly, you'd have to start at the bottom.

I don't know what to say.

I'd want to talk it over with my parents

before I make any decision...

- I'm repairing your damage.

Damage?

You want to talk about damage?

I'll deal with you later.

That is the damage I'm talking about.

You're always casting me aside, it's always business first.

Now is not the time!

You've never made the time for me, not once.

I'm an embarrassment to you,

a problem that you have to fix,

that you wish would just go away.

Damage...

...this is your damage.

You have 48 hours to consider the offer.

If you decide to take it,

then I will put together the pieces.

Thank you, Mr. Sanders.

How are you feeling?

I'm so tired; I don't even know what just happened.

I told you it was a bad idea.

But I'm glad you're home safe.

Well actually,

there's some things I'd like to talk to you guys about as well.

I'll go put some coffee on.

Coming back to out top story:

New charges facing Harry Saltroy.

Well, a statement has been released

saying that David Cracknell of CCF Partners

has been arrested in connection with a brutal attack

on a witness in an unconnected case.

And what does this mean for Harry Saltroy?

Well, it means yet another change to his defense team,

and creates some concern with the witness statements

released so far.

So things don't look good for Harry?

No, they don't...
