This could be toxic exposure.

You're not making any sense.

- You said this case was
unwinnable, that you'd have to

- I was wrong.

throwing away and for what?

- You need to leave.

- Hey, Uncle Billy.
- [Hey, kiddo.]

I have Joanna here with me.
- Oh, so this is a
business call.

- Molly, in order to file
a class-action suit,

we need to pick one of you
to be the named plaintiff.

- Ask Taylor.

She was the first one
who got this thing.

- [Taylor's family has money.]

If we don't win, the Mathesons
can still afford to pay

for her treatment.
You are a star athlete

[from a single-income family.]

- You need someone
with more to lose.

- Pretty much.
- So you wanna
make me a sob story?

- No, it's not that simple.
- Actually, it kind of is.

We need a sympathetic face,

someone with a story
the jury can understand.

- [I don't want people
thinking that I'm sick]

or that I can't play.
- You don't have to
decide right now.

- But we need to know
within the next 24 hours.

Molly, this is the best chance

that you and the girls
have of winning this case.

- Uncle Billy, what do you
think I should do?

- [It has to be your decision.]

But Joanna's right.

You're our best candidate.

- God, I hate this town.

- Could I get a coffee?

- You're late.
- Good morning.

- I went out on reconnaissance
this morning.

- OK...

- Steel mill.

- Yeah, that's the tailings
pond. It's lined, inspected.

- I found a couple
of storage containers

- at the tire factory.
- Thank you.

- One of them looked cracked
but I couldn't tell if it

was leaking, I was on the other
side of the security fence.

- You took all of these
this morning?

- The steel mill,
the screw cutting factory,

the tire factory
and the old hospital here.

- Well, they tore down
the hospital years ago.

I think there's
a recycling plant there now.

- It could've left
a legacy underground.

Each of these places
would've used

a substantial amount of benzene,

and not just benzene:

ammonia, chlorine,
methyl, mercury,

ethylene trichloride,
calcium hypochlorite.

- They all have
clean safety records.

We checked into them.

- We are not wrong
about the field.

Billy, if we're
not onto something,

then why is someone
following me?

- Someone's following you?
- Yes.

A black truck-SUV thing.

I've seen it in multiple places.

- Why don't you let me
take the lead a couple of days?

Just... take some time, relax.

- This is how I relax.

We have to show that the toxin

leaked into the groundwater
at one of these places

and turned up at the school.

At CTS, we used
to hire a hydrologist

- to do the groundwater testing.
- We don't have any money.

We're so busy on this case,
I can't take on

any other work.
We can't afford a hydrologist.

- Hello, Joanna.
- Howard.

I'm so happy that you
could make it.

Billy, this is
Dr. Howard Davies,

he's our hydrologist.

- Always available for CTS. I
reviewed the material you sent.

- Great! Let's get started.
- Yup.

- But you felt OK enough
to come to school today?

- I didn't even fall.
It was just...

one little tick and then I was
fine for the rest of the night.

- OK.

- Miss Evans wanted me to go
to this group therapy thing

- this morning.
- What thing?

- She thinks that all the girls
who are sick

need to get together and...

feel their feelings
or... whatever.

- Well, that sounds OK.
- Does it?

Because I don't want
my whole life to be about this

and I definitely don't wanna
go to meetings about it.

- Maybe it'd be good for you
to talk about what you're

going through. I mean, babe,
it's only your first day back.

You don't always
have to pretend...

- I'm not pretending anything!
Look, it'll be

I'll hate algebra. Just...

OK.

Georgia, did you

It's actually like, um...

now my dad freaks out if I
leave the house without it.

- It's like one of those ankle

- Why do you say that, Taylor?

Isn't that what this whole thing
is like, being trapped?

- Trapped how?

- Nobody can tell us
what caused this.

Nobody knows
how to make us better.

We're just freaks now.

- I heard the vaccine lawyer

thinks it's some kind of
pollution in the athletic field.

- My mom says it's screen time.

She said it scrambled my brain.

- Parents blame everything
on screen time.

- Maybe. We all
have phones, right?

- Five billion people have
phones and we're the only ones

who are sick? That makes sense.

Maybe we did do it to ourselves.

In order to win this,

- And how do we pay him

- I took out a loan on my condo.

- So any one of these industries

is a potential source
of the benzene.

Judging by geography alone,
my gut tells me that

that is your polluter.
- That's where the
old hospital was.

- Why do you say that?
- Because it's closest

to the field and groundwater
moves very slowly.

- And how can you be sure
where the toxin is coming from?

- You follow
the "yellow sludge road."

- Sorry?

- That's a little
hydrology joke.

Sorry. We dig a series of wells

from the suspected sites towards
the field. This helps us

chart the direction
the groundwater is flowing in.

If the toxin is present
and the groundwater is flowing

in the right direction,
then we have our polluter.

the help she needed,

and I agreed.

- It was my father's idea?

- It seems to me you should
ask him about that.

- I will.

[You've reached Joanna Hanley.]

[Leave a message.]
- Hey, Joanna.

I did some digging, and I think

your stalker's a guy
named Pat Collins.

Works at the tire factory.
He drives a black SUV,

but he doesn't seem
to be driving it today.

I'll get back to you, OK? Bye.

Oh, this is Luna, by the way.

[phone beeping]

[door bell jingling]
- Hey.

- You OK?
- Yeah, fine.

- How'd it go at the tire factory?
- McMahon was a piece of work.

He wouldn't let us drill
anywhere near the site.

You know, I got the feeling
he knew we were coming.

- But you got a sample, right?
- We did.

- I am so ready
for some good news.

- Don't get your hopes up. Four
wells is not a lot to go on.

- But you have a gut feeling?
- Yeah, I do.

And it's the same one
I had from the start.

The hospital site
is still my best guess.

- Hey, we'll get permission
to dig more wells, just
like you said.

- I put my job on the line
for this.

- I put my entire life on hold.
- I know, and we're gonna

keep digging 'til we
know for sure.

You need to stay.
We need a better answer.

- I know you guys
want a case you can win,

but you need a case worth
winning and this is not it.

- Howard, look at
your results again.

Luna found the driver of
the truck that was following me.

It's someone working
for McMahon rubber.

- So he did know we were coming.

- McMahon's gotta
be the polluter.

- Dubious. The direction of the
groundwater flow is not right.

- This isn't right.
- What isn't right?

- Well, this isn't typical
contaminant-pollutant behaviour.

A pollutant typically starts
at the source of contamination

and becomes more diluted as it
moves through the groundwater.

But this... pollutant
is just sitting there

in this single,
concentrated mass.

If anything, it's going
in the wrong direction.

It's becoming more diluted
as it moves away from the field.

If that's right, then the
contamination's not coming

- from any of the four sites.
- Then where is it coming from?

- The field itself.
It's just there.

- The field is the source.

- If "it's just there"...

- Then someone put it there.

Deliberately.

[soft music]

- You weren't at Miss Evans'
group thing this morning.

- I'm already sick
of being sick.

I don't wanna talk about it.

Who was there?

- Lisa, Georgia, Allie.

Everyone... except you.

- What did you guys talk about?

- Uh... our one thing in common.

- See? Like, that's the thing.

I don't even know those guys,
and now we're supposed

to sit in a room
and bond over muffins?

[Molly sighing]

- Do you think that...

that lawyer
and your uncle are right?

That there's some kind of...

- poison in the field?
- I don't know.

I mean, what else could it be?

I play sports.
You're a cheerleader.

- What about Jamie's party
when that weird purple drink

- was going around?
- No.

I wasn't even there.

- Right. You don't
go to parties.

- I party!

I did ecstasy once. Yeah.

At a tournament in Winnipeg.

- Molly did some molly?

Isn't it weird?

You and I have known each other
since kindergarten...

and this is the longest
conversation we've ever had.

- Yup.

Now look at us.

- Isn't that your uncle?

- Yeah.

- [Howard]: Are you sure we
don't need permission

to dig on school property?

- We get a sample that proves
this field is ground zero

for a deadly toxin,
I'm pretty sure they'll

overlook a missing permit.

- [Billy]: You good?
- Yeah!

- What are they doing?

- Not a clue.

[metallic clanging]

- Oh, no! No, no, no,
no, no, no, no! Get back.

Get back! Get back! Get back,
get back, get back, get back!

- Don't let that get on you!
- Go!

- What did you hit?
- It was metal, like a drum

or a container or something.
I don't know.

- I can't believe it was
under our feet the entire time.

- Hey! What the hell is going
on?!

- We found some
kind of container

of toxic waste in the field.
We were drilling for

a groundwater sample and then...
- Who gave you permission to
drill on school property?

- That wasn't our agreement.
- You're not listening.

Someone has buried toxic waste
in this field.

- What do... Who?
Who would ever do that?

We have to get it out of there!
Who... why is everybody

- just standing around?!
- 'Cause as soon as we told them

what it is,
they refused to go near it.

- Hey! Uncle Billy!

- You guys shouldn't be here.
- We saw what happened.

There's actually
something in there?!

- Right now, I just need you
to stay away from it. OK?

Go on home. Go. Go!

- You need to remove
whatever's in the field

- as soon as possible.
- That is what I'm trying to do.

- The container's punctured now.
- Well, they're telling me

that if we just yank it out
of the ground, that stuff will

get everywhere.
- Better you risk some
spillage than let the toxin

contaminate your groundwater.
It gets in the aquifer,

you can't get it out. That's
your town's drinking water.

- Allison!
- Ben, thank God you're here.

- "Secure and Collect,"
who is that?

- Who are these people?!
- They're my disposal guys.

- Ben uses them at the mill.
- We'll get this handled.

- I can't thank you enough.
- OK.

- You need to tell us where that
container is going after
it's been excavated.

- Haven't you done enough?
- What are you talking about?!

If we hadn't done this, that
container would've been sitting

underground for who knows how
long, making more people sick.

- I suggest the three of you
just go to the hospital

and get yourselves checked out.
We'll take it from here.

- Thank you, Howard,
for everything.

- We still don't know
who did it.

- But now we know
it was deliberate.

- Never doubt your gut, Joanna.

You guys got a hell of a lawsuit
on your hands.

- Yeah. I wanna see for myself
where that storage facility is.

- Why'd you just take off in the
middle of everything today?

- I just had some personal stuff
I needed to take care of.

They always... told me
it was pneumonia.

- Well, maybe they were
just trying to protect you.

- That would be a first.

Apparently she had a breakdown.

- I'm sorry.

- I guess she just couldn't
cope with her life.

- Hey, Luna. What's up?
- [Hey, Joanna.]

I talked to Pat Collins and it
turns out that I got it wrong.

He sold his truck a month ago.

- To who?
- [A scrapyard.]

- Huh.

Well, uh, good work.

[Thanks, Luna.]
- Does this mean I'm hired?

- Yeah. Meet us
