Previously... On "Burden of Truth"

- We're sick.
- Yeah, thanks to your Dad.

This has nothing
to do with the mill!

Soil samples taken from the
field show traces

of contaminants including
benzene and methyl mercury.

- Does this mean I'm hired?
- Yeah. Meet us at Billy's

office, 9AM sharp tomorrow.

That kid
you were driving around?

- She's your sister.
- Tell me it isn't true.

- Tell you what's not true?
- Gerrilyn Spence.

Gerrilyn Spence is a liar!
She's crazy.

Crazy like Mom was crazy?

- Prom is lame.
- Hey...

- You're lame.
- What?! Everyone acts

like it's such a big deal.

Everyone's stinky and sweaty.

- I mean, it's in a gym!
- Well, I can't wait for prom.

I just got a new dress, and I'm

- gonna be smokin' hot!
- Oh...

Yeah, well, it can't be
too hot. School dress code

- applies for prom too.
- Principal Weller's gonna

- be there measuring our dresses?
- Oh, God, man.

- What a perv.
- Ladies, your cleavage

is very distracting
around the boys.

But now do behave yourselves
tonight, you animals!

No, I'm gonna go naked.

Just completely wearing nothing.

- Dude!
- I would kill to see the look

- on Weller's face.
- Oh, hey.

- Hey.
- I swiped this

- from my dad's liquor cabinet.
- It's probably full of benzene.

- Molly, Molly.
- I'm kidding.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Come sit.
That was terrible.

So you guys gonna
go to prom together?

- Yes.
- No.

Who else are we gonna go with?

My mom's head would explode.
I'm pretty sure that she thinks

- that you can catch gay, so...
- Oh, you can.

I caught it from the water
fountain by the science lab.

- Oh, yeah?
- Just steer clear of that area.

- That's it.
- Noted.

Oh, Molly. Molly, Molly.

It's OK. It's fine.

I'm so sick of this!

- I'm so sick of this.
- I know. I know, baby.

All right.

Everybody stand up.

- What?
- Yeah, I've got an idea.

Come on. Everybody stand up.
Come on!

- Why?
- Circle the fire.

- Amanda, why?
- God, just trust me!

Hold hands. Join hands!

- Hold hands.
- OK, holding. It's so cute.

- So romantic.
- Now close your eyes.

- And walk into the fire?
- Can you stop?

I just... I wanna try something.

I, um... I found
this healing ritual.

- "Healing ritual"?
- Yes.

OK. I mean, it's worth...
it's worth a shot.

Ahem. Ahem.

May the shining light
within my soul...

- Hey.
- I'm sorry. OK. Yes.

- Ready?
- Yes.

I'm s...
I'm sorry. OK. OK.

...heal me now
and make me whole.

May the shining light
within my soul...

...heal me now
and make me whole.

May the shining light
within my soul

heal me now and make me whole.

May the shining light
within my soul

heal me now and make me whole!

Good morning.

Have a nice day.

Good morning.

You know it's
the weekend, right?

Yeah. You're here too.

You've been here all night?

I couldn't sleep.

It is never too early

for trial strategy,

so we find holes in our case
and... there are a few.

You need to take
better care of yourself.

Warriors never
slept before battle.

That's 'cause they didn't have
alarm clocks. Sleep is good.

You need to take time now,
before the trial,

or you're not gonna make it.

I almost got trampled
by a couple of Matheson's guys.

We filed suit, Billy.
We've declared war.

I knew people would be upset
about us going after their

- biggest employer, but...
- They don't want it to be

the mill, and they are
not going to be rational.

This is only the beginning
of the blowback.

I guess I'm just not used to it.

Being the bad guy?

Did you talk to your dad
about Luna?

He said it isn't true.

Do you believe him?

I... I really, um...

I don't know,

but as of right now,
it is just an allegation.

I made a preliminary
list of names of people

we have to depose
when we get to discovery.

Obviously, Ben Matheson's name
is at the top of the list,

but if we wanna
nail the parent company,

that means officers, directors.

It'll be good to finally
get at the truth.

- Good morning, Mom.
- Hey.

- I'm making eggs.
- I've gotta get to work,

- but thanks.
- Well, I can make them to go.

Uh... this water bill's
due today. Can you pay this?

Yeah. I can pay the water bill.

How's the, uh... job going?

It's good. I'm learning lots.

It'll look great on my resume.

Hey, Mom...

do you remember when you were
talking about taking your GED?

I'm not some dumb dropout.

- I was on the honour roll.
- Yeah, I know.

And I would've been
the first in our family

- to go to college.
- And then I happened.

Things happen.

Jeez. Don't go
making it all about you.

Well...

this was just lying
around the office.

It's old, but it works.
No one's using it.

Now you can do your GED

and we can
go to college together.

Yeah.

Don't forget
about the water bill.

See you.

Good morning.

Oatmeal's hot, sweetheart.

Thank you.

Where were you last night?

- I was just...
- Careful.

We don't tell lies
in this house.

I was just out
with some friends.

It's no big deal.

It is a big deal if we
can't trust your word.

Look... I know
that you've been hurting.

Losing Steve was hard
on all of us, especially you,

but you can't let that ruin
the rest of your life.

We worry about some
of your friends, sweetheart.

They're a bad influence on you.

What, are you serious?

God instructs parents
to teach their children purity.

Now if those girls
had been taught correctly,

they wouldn't be
where they are now.

They're not twitching
because they're... impure.

Why don't you invite Molly
to service this morning?

Now, your oatmeal's
getting cold.

Oh, no...

Mommy... there's something...
there's something wrong.

The mill's parent company
showed worldwide revenues

last year of over
a billion dollars.

- If you were Luna, wouldn't you...
- The girls won't see a cent

of this unless we can prove that
they knew about the barrels.

She deserves to know.

Not until I
have evidence, Billy.

I'm not gonna...

blow up her life
unless I know for sure.

Hey, guys.

Luna, good morning.

Good morning. Any word
from the mill?

No, they have 20 days
to respond and they'll

- probably take all of them.
- "20 days"?!

What's this?

Those are financial statements
from PNL Steel.

- That's Matheson Steel's...
- Parent company. Yeah, I know.

We want a big settlement,
we need to make a case

- against the parent company.
- Luna, it's Sunday.

Why don't you
just take the day off?

I'd rather stay and work,
if that's all right with you.

So... how do we make a case

- against the parent company?
- Parents aren't responsible

for the transgressions
of their subsidiaries

unless we can
prove that they knew.

- What is it?
- It's the church.

- Did you get a text from God?
- We have to get over there right now.

Now in this day
and age, we must be vigilant.

Our youth...

are being bombarded
by hedonistic influences.

And we must prepare them
for battle.

Never has a generation had
such a mighty enemy to overcome

in its path to purity,

and I stand here today
to challenge you.

Our community leaders,

our schools, our parents,

I challenge you to help

these sick girls
who have been led astray.

Now, we were told

that it was poison
that made our girls sick.

And I do believe
that they were poisoned,

but not by Matheson Steel,

but by the toxicity
of this modern world.

Now, I want you all
to think long and hard

about this lawsuit,
and then focus more

on our own decisions,
things that are in our control.

For some problems cannot
be solved in a courtroom.

Beware of silver tongues

and those who would
willingly lead us astray.

And remember...

that the devil
comes in many forms.

He actually
called you the devil?

Yeah. It was a little bit
on the nose.

Well, Millwood isn't
really a hotbed of creativity.

You OK?

Yeah. Not the first
time I've been

compared to Satan,
won't be the last.

I expected the town to be pissed

but this is pretty extreme.

Yeah. Everyone's getting
out their pitchforks.

There's an expression
in Guyana my mom used to say.

"Every bush a man nighttime."

When you're afraid,
things always seem scarier

than they actually are.

True enough.

Is everything all right?

Is that a trick question?

This is me.

Good luck at work today.

- Try not to get yourself killed.
- Yeah, you too.

Uh... hey. Can I borrow a pen?

I promise I'll
give it back this time.

What the hell's going on here?

Sherry said her mom wouldn't
let her come to school.

- Said she's gonna catch it.
- Are you kidding?

The whole world wants us gone.

Bet you never thought we'd be
the zombies in the apocalypse.

Miss Ross? A word.

Look... there's
no easy way to say this.

- Your outfit.
- What about it?

You're violating the dress
code in several different ways.

- Is he serious?
- I am. Slightly exposed

midriff, skirt that doesn't
extend past your fingertips.

- This is ridiculous.
- Miss Evans, there are rules.

You should be enforcing them.

It's like 100 degrees outside.
I just wanted to be comfortable.

I'm not enforcing a dress code.

The rules are very clear.

The rules teach girls their
bodies are dangerous.

Hey, I've worn this exact
outfit like, 100 times.

And I am just
enforcing the rules.

Unless you have a change
of clothes in your locker,

you'll have to go home.

- I can't believe this.
- Neither can I.

Miss Evans, call her mother and
see that she makes her way home safely.

I wasn't trying
to cause trouble. I know you

- hate what I wear too.
- I'm your mom. Hating what you

wear is my God-given right.
Weller's off his rocker.

OK. You gotta
take me home to change.

No. Screw that.

Screw Weller.

I'm busting you out
of this gulag.

We're going shopping.

I mean, it's like, who do they
even think they are?!

Like they never
sinned or anything.

- And what does that even mean?!
- They're panicking.

Millwood's been known
to do some unreasonable things,

even at the best of times.

Yeah. Like I need
this right now.

It feels like everywhere I go,

things are just falling apart.

Seriously, what's wrong
with you today?

Forget it. Ahem.

OK. Feels like I'm just making
everybody mad these days.

I think it's my special talent.

You want me to file those?

Yeah, that'd be great.

You know, my mom's
pretty much always mad at me

for being born. I get it.

She had to drop out of high
school when she got preggers.

Maybe that's why she's happy
I'm not into boys. - Ahem.

OK. I can be quiet.

Here are the up-to-date
medical records.

GET OUT OF TOWN, TRAITOR!

You OK?

I didn't even need a new dress.

I was just gonna wear that green
thing I wore to this funeral.

You need a new dress. It's prom.

We can't even afford this.

Don't worry about it.
I spread it out.

- A few bucks on each card.
- I don't even wanna go.

- Everyone wants to go to prom.
- Maybe when you were

in high school,
but things are different now.

No. No. Fashions might change,

but kids stay
pretty much the same.

I know you wanna

go to your prom.
You just wanna go as...

Molly Ross,

star athlete,
team captain, not...

Molly the twitcher?

Whatever makes you happy,

that's what matters.

You and Luna...

don't worry what people think.

I don't worry
about what people think.

Well, then why didn't you
just tell me about you two?

Do we have to do this right now?

This was actually
going really well.

OK, I...

I know the things
they say at your church.

I guess I was just waiting

for a sign that you disagreed.

After Molly got sent home,
all hell broke loose.

Apparently a parent
found a video.

...heal me now
and make me whole.

May the shining light
within my soul

heal me now

and make me whole!

I'm sorry, I can't
watch any more.

This is just
grossly inappropriate.

I demand that the school

take immediate action.

For what?

- Mr. Crawford.
- They're teenagers.

- It's witchcraft.
- And they're scared.

I think we're done listening
to you. We raised Georgia right

and then we find
this on her phone!

- Everyone needs to calm down.
- You keep

- saying it's the field.
- You know, we don't let Amanda

play sports. Tell me
how she got sick.

Well, I'm sure there's
an explanation that doesn't

- include sorcery.
- I have thought about this,

Mr. Crawford, and I don't
see any alternative.

The girls affected
by this illness

will be suspended
from all school functions

until we get an answer.

- The prom is tomorrow.
- We have an answer.

The field was poisoned
by barrels dumped there

- by Matheson Steel.
- OK. You had me going.

But she's getting sicker,
and now she's defying me,

and she's dancing in the woods,
and she's drinking.

This has nothing to do with a
couple of barrels in the field.

For the safety
of the student body,

any student who disobeys
the suspension

will find themselves expelled.

Don't worry. We'll get this
off their records.

They're gonna
get into university.

They'll get over it.

"They'll get over it"?

Half the girls here
and most of the boys

would choose prom
over university.

That can't be
our concern right now.

I had other things I had to do.

Prom is like closure.

Your whole world is high school
while you're there,

and then your world explodes.

or at least it was for me.

Not that you know that
at the time. At the time,

it's just a party
and making out.

Fine. Give me Bailey.

Hey.

The principal isn't
our problem. It's the town.

They're blaming the girls,
not the barrels. Tell Diane

to work on the parents. We need
to take back the narrative.

- I'll talk to the pastor.
- Tell him the devil sends her regards.

Will do.

It's been a while, Billy.

You don't make it to service
as often as you used to.

Or as often as I'd like, Pastor.

I've been busy.

- Is Amanda around?
- She's out of town.

Visiting family.

- Look, I know why you're here.
- You don't

actually believe that these
girls have the devil in them?

No, I don't.

But the teachings of faith
lie in metaphor. You know that.

Look, I christened Molly.

- Most of them.
- So reach out.

Pastor, people are
taking you very literally.

I don't believe it's the devil,

but I do believe
these girls are out of control,

and their sins
have caught up with them.

- Their sins?
- Well, if it helps,

think that... sin
is a guilty conscience.

We found toxins
in the playing field

that are proven to cause
neurological disorders.

And there are studies
that link guilt

and anxiety
to psychosomatic disorders.

Guilt can manifest itself
in a physical form.

The answer lies in Scripture.

And believe it or not,
I am trying to help.

These girls, they have
nothing to feel guilty about.

The church can teach us
how to live faithfully

- in a very complex world.
- Pastor, what is it

that you're not telling me?

I think you should
come back to us, Billy.

I know you're lost.

Your father's struggles,
your brother. And you're

taking all that anger and you're
directing it towards Millwood.

Amanda, sweetheart,
we need to talk!

Mom!
Stay out of my room!

I think it's time
for you to leave.

All right.

Any luck today, Jack?

The best catfishing
in the world is in this river,

and... I can't
even get a nibble.

Not my year.

You and a lot of people
around here.

My wife and I, we had a deal.

I was gonna work and she
was gonna raise Georgia.

She did a good job.

Head of the Parent Council
how many years?

Too many.

She was always
afraid that, uh...

I was gonna get sick and she'd
have to get a job,

and then, uh...

I'm very sorry.

And then I'm on my own,

and Georgia's all grown, and...

boys are calling.

We eat dinner, and...

she sits and looks at her phone.

Cameras are supposed
to point outwards.

This generation seems
to have forgotten that.

"If the youth are not
initiated, they will burn down

the village to feel
the warmth of the fire."

It's not easy for them, either.

Especially now.

She needs your help.

How am I supposed to do that?

Just start. Just talk.

About what?

About...

anything.

Hey!

Hey.

Uh... look. I know that we
haven't got to know each other

very well, but, um...

I need to ask you for a favour.

Well...

If it's for your case,
you're gonna have to go

through proper channels.
I can't take sides.

No, it's not. It's, um...

It's personal.

Shoot.

How quickly can you
do a DNA test?

Normally, a couple of days,
but I'm owed some favours.

- What do you need?
- Ahem.

I need to know

if the people who chewed the gum
are related.

Amanda!

Hi.

I'm breaking you out of here.

What are you staring at?
Go put your dress on!

What are you talking about?

- Oh, we're, uh, crashing prom.
- OK, and what about the suspension?

- Weller can kiss my...
- She can... Hey!

OK. Suit up, Parson.

Hello?

Yes.

Now that was a prom.

The look on Joanna's face

when I put the crown on?
Highlight.

"Highlight"? You really
like her, huh?

Yeah, she's pretty cool.

A little weird, but...

it's awesome, what she's doing.

And I never saw myself

as the legal type,
but it's fun, you know?

"Fun"? Not my thing,

but I think you'd
make a kickass lawyer.

Nah. It's not in my blood.

So? You could go to law school.

Gerrilyn would be pumped.

Eh...

What about our plan?

Hmm?

- I don't know. I...
- Hey. It's OK.

I just...

I don't think
this is gonna change.

- Molls, you're gonna be OK.
- I mean

this town, and us.

Are you breaking up with...

No! No, I'm not
breaking up with you.

I just...

I don't think I'm gonna be

going anywhere anytime soon.

OK. I'll be right here
until you're ready.

I don't know how much longer
we can be us here.

Molly...

we became us here.

My whole life,
I felt like a stranger here.

I've had a foot in both worlds.

Long Grass... Millwood.

I never felt
like I belonged in either.

And now...

none of that matters.

I'm not gonna
let people judge me anymore.

Maybe this doesn't have to be
the worst place in the world.

Good morning, Principal Weller.

What are you...

If you don't reverse
their expulsion, I'll petition

the schoolboard for your removal
for professional misconduct.

And I will sue you

for slander and for violating
their civil rights.

- But in the situation...
- If you can't perform

your duties unbiased by the
pressures of this town, then we

will find somebody who can.

Furthermore...

I will have your
teaching licence revoked.

And then I will
go after your pension.

Don't mess with my girls.

Did you talk to Weller?

He'll come to his senses.

The town will take
a little bit longer.

We need to win this, Billy.

We need to get these girls
everything they need and more.

We have to make
whoever did this pay.

We will.

I could've used these girls
when I was in high school.

Oh, I'm pretty sure
they like you too.

They did make you a crown.

You're a good lawyer, Billy.

You're an even better uncle.

Thanks.

You're not so bad yourself.

You know, underneath all this
city-lawyer toughness,

you're actually a good person.

Remember that.

I have to go.

- OK.
- I'm sorry.

What are you doing here?

It went so well
the last time I surprised you?

I'm sorry.

We built a case
against Matheson Steel.

We're going after
their parent company.

I heard.

I need you to leave
this case, Jo.

I need you to leave
and come home.

No. I'm not leaving this case.

These girls need me.

You've been served.

Excuse me?!

Matheson Steel and PNL

have hired Carver, Thatcher,
Stokes as their attorneys.

This is our answer
to your lawsuit.

Nothing.

We're gonna give you nothing.

And we're moving
to strike with costs

and we're gonna sue
for bringing frivolous charges.

Your father sent me, Jo.

And we're not here to win.

We're here to destroy you.
