Marcie:
In a perfect world,

Legal aid is supposed to
address this inequity.

And yet, our courts continue
to be clogged with defendants

And litigants who
are self-represented.

It's time to bridge the gap

Between legal aid
and private firms.

I'm looking to raise
five million dollars

To establish a law firm

That will provide free
full spectrum legal services

To folks who can't
afford a lawyer.

With access to the level of
talent I intend to provide,

David will have a fighting
chance against goliath.

We all talk about the
need for equal justice,

But right now I'm asking
you to put your money

Where your mouth is.

In this package I provided a
draught financing agreement

And a waterfall that explains

The potential return

Okay so,

That rail-to-rail move that
I just showed you guys

You're gonna keep your
feet shoulder width apart

And you're going to keep your
back foot over your fins.

It's going to
reduce your drag

And it's going to
increase your speed.

Alright?

Let's see how you do.

Reggie:
Marcie diggs.

(reggie chuckles)

You doin' okay, kid?

How do I seem?

Well, I hear you're
trying to get rich people

To finance a revolution.

(chuckles) well
then you've heard

That it's not
going so well.

Champagne socialists
like their champagne.

Besides,

Do you think those people

Are going to want to
associate with someone

Who puts criminals
back on the street?

Wow. We'll have to see.

How are things at the
clayton park office?

Oh, thank christ I'm
only there part-time

Is all I can say.

Who knew I'd take
to academia?

(marcie chuckles)

Colleen got her judgeship.

Oh yes.

The honourable
colleen macdonnell.

She's gonna make
a good judge.

What about doug and iris?

How they doin'?

Why are the cops here?

(suspenseful music swells)

Officer klar:
Taylor dayal.

(suspenseful dramatic music)

Marcie: Taylor!
Officer: Taylor!

Stop!

(suspenseful dramatic music)

Marcie:
Taylor!

(taylor screams)

Calm the hell down!

Stop! You're hurting me!!

Stop resisting!

Let her go.

Not 'til I know she's calm.

You calm?
Are you calm?

(taylor whimpers)

She's calm.
Let her go.

What is this about?

Officer klar:
Ms. Dayal's under
arrest for possession

And distribution of
child pornography.

It's not like what
they're saying, marcie.

All I did was-
- taylor! Taylor!

Stop talking.

Anything that you
say can be held
against you,

So say nothing.

Okay? You understand?

I got you.

(background chatter)

Cliff:
It's okay.

It's okay.

Just take a deep breath.

Good. Good.

You feel your feet
on the floor?

You're okay.

Everything's
gonna be okay.

(marcie clears throat)

Hi, I'm marcie diggs.

Yes, uh,
reverend cliff crawley,

Um, with the st. Thomas
baptist church.

Oh, that used to
be my church.

Okay.

So slaughter's gone?

I'm renovating his
house so he better be.

Taylor's parents, we're
old friends from calgary.

I thought I
might be able

To lend her some
emotional support.

Well reverend, I-

Oh, uh, cliff.

Ah, please call me cliff.

Cliff.

I need some time
with my client.

Yes. Yes, of course.

Sure.

Hey taylor, if you
need anything,

Just give a call, okay?

We're all
here for you.

Yeah.

Okay.

These guys in my
intro to sosh class,

They got this
hate on for me

'cause I was out with
some of my roommates

And one of them,
cora, she got wasted.

And so the guys
were trying to
smash, you know,

But I wasn't letting
that go down.

So I got her
out of there.

Guess I pissed
those guys off

'cause next
thing I know,

They start
messing with me.

First it's
"memes" and "gifs"

And on my
socials.

Just
stupid stuff.

Then they're
in my dms with-

Did you tell the school?

Taylor:
It wasn't anything,
just dumb boy nonsense.

Then, though,

When they're not getting
any play from me,

They start sending me
snaps of random...

Marcie:
Random what?

Like junk.

What'd you do then?

I sent them snaps
of a bunch of asses

With the caption,
"recognize yourself?"

You did that?

These boys think
they can get away
with anything,

But they needed to
know that I wasn't
putting up with it.

But then everything
started to get
really aggressive.

They started sending
me texts that...

They were making
rape jokes

Saying that next
time they try to
take cora home

They'll put a...

In my mouth to
keep me quiet.

They sent me
some dick pics

And they told me
to "take my pick".

Is this when you
complained to
the university?

Yeah, 'cause it
weirded me out and
it felt threatening.

And I shouldn't have to
put up with this garbage

'cause I stopped
those dumbasses from
raping my roommate.

What happened when
you told the school?

Taylor:
Nothing.

Lowell,
ollie and denny,

The guys,

They were told to
apologize and stop
the behaviour.

University said because
I sent them the snap

That it justified them thinking
that it was just jokes.

Yeah, sexual assault
is a real knee-slapper.

Taylor, I'm-

I'm really sorry that you had
to go through all of this.

See, I thought that
would be that, you know?

I really figured that
would end things.

But then lowell
sent me a "supercut"

Of all their dick
pics together.

And I had enough,
you know?

I took the video
lowell sent me

And I added
meg thee stallion's "savage"

And I added their
names and socials

And I posted it to trasheap
via a non-traceable vpn.

Nothing like a little meg,
but maybe not the best move.

Do you still have the
compilation on your laptop?

I deleted it.

What about the
original video?

I deleted it
from my phone.

Okay, but it might
still be on your sd card.

No. Here.

I swapped this out of my phone
after I uploaded the video.

Marcie:
Police are likely trying
to get a warrant for this

As we speak.

Does anyone else
know about this?

No.

Good.

Let's keep it that way.

(sighs) taylor,

These charges,

Possession and distribution
of child pornography,

They're serious.

I'm going to talk
to the prosecutor

And see if they will
treat your case

Like they do sexting
charges involving minors.

I'm not going to let
them ruin your life

Because you did
the right thing.

Austin:
Well we better go.

Don't wanna be late.

My hands,
they're shaking.

We're here.

We're okay.

I guess-

Not "I guess", austin,

"I feel".

I, uh-

I feel that everything with
this young man and his plans

For velma's family's
land opened up things I-

I thought we worked
through 15, 20 years ago.

I thought we re-established
our trust for one another,

But I was wrong.

Guess if I'd known-

Velma:
Why is it my responsibility
to tell you why?

Therapist:
Except velma,

Who has the talking stick?

Austin.

Austin, that's right.

So, what is the
other person doing

When austin has
the talking stick?

Listening.

Listening. Yes, velma.

I feel like I should
get a treat now.

(giggling)

Marcie:
I'm not letting
you near her

Until you guarantee she'll
being treated like a minor.

But she's not a minor.

The youth criminal
justice act doesn't apply.

And I got three pairs
of angry parents

Who call me every
day crying about

How their sons lives
have been impacted.

And yet, they have no
problem prosecuting

My 19-year-old client
as a sex offender.

Sera:
Not to mention the
possible ten year sentence

If she's found guilty.

You have the
discretion to decide.

It's not just sexting, marcie.

Your client took a
video of minors,

Set music to it,

Added text and uploaded
it to a porn site.

She made child pornography.

You have no proof.

(chuckles) oh, marcie.

It's time to get a grasp

On what exactly is
happening here.

And what the hell
does that mean?

It means don't
come bartering

If you've got
nothing to offer.

(phone chimes)

(mysterious music)

What happened?

I'm sorry.

I didn't know that-

Marcie:
Taylor, it's okay.
Don't apologize.

Just tell me
what's going on.

They found out
about the charges.

They told me that I'm
banned from campus

Until all of
this goes away.

Where did you get this?

The director of
student affairs.

She handed me this

And said the university
has a strict policy.

She said there
are "kids" here.

That I was a danger.

I asked her about
my scholarship,

She said I could lose it.

Marcie:
This isn't right.

I'm not gonna let anyone
take anything away from you.

I will figure this out.

(tense music swells)

Ed file" to
help make that go away?

Reggie:
Not that I wanna
waste it on this one.

Cat's already
out of the bag.

I think you've just got
to get her out from under

This double time before
the sex offender label

Has an opportunity to stick.

Are you able to help me out?

Somebody try and stop me.

I'm wondering if you can
run interference for me

At the university on
behalf of taylor?

Done.

Legal aid's not gonna
have a problem?

Don't worry about it.

I got it.

Owen:
Marcie diggs?

I'm owen clifton.

My son denny is one of the
boys your client doxxed.

You mean one of the boys who
sexually harassed my client.

Look, we're getting calls
from pedophiles at our house.

They're-they're
leaving sick messages.

My boy denny won't
even leave the house

Because he's
so embarrassed.

I hope you're not
looking for any sympathy.

It was your client who put
this filth on trasheap.

I think you need
to let go of me.

Now!

I'm sorry.

We spoke to the crown about
having them taken down,

But it doesn't seem like
much of a priority to her.

And what does this
have to do with me?

We've agreed,

If you can have
them removed,

We won't cooperate
with the crown.

Sera creed can still
subpoena your son to testify.

Owen:
If you can make it so that
we don't have to worry

About these photos
showing up online

When someone googles
my son's name,

You have my
word that denny,

And his friend oliver,

Will not testify
against your client.

(dramatic suspenseful music)

Helen:
This is an ugly
criminal situation

And it's important
that it be resolved

Before we can consider having
taylor back on campus.

This institution places the
well-being of its students

First and foremost.

We have 17 year olds,

In some cases 16 and 15 year
olds at this institution.

We simply can't make
any exceptions.

Reggie:
Forgive my confusion

But where was this zero
tolerance approach

When those three boys
were harassing taylor?

Helen:
I'm not sure how
familiar you are

With the situation,
mr. Thompson,

But taylor wasn't really an
innocent in the entire matter.

Are you serious?!

Patricia:
I think what
helen's saying is

Taylor's hands weren't
necessarily clean.

Oh, this is the
school's version of

"there are good people
on both sides".

Come on,
give me a break.

They were sending
her dick pics.

Helen:
Mr. Thompson,

These kids are a
different breed

From when we
were coming up.

Nearly 45% of them
have traded nudes

By the time they
reach our doors.

Imagine.

It's impossible to
parse intention.

The boys apologized and
everyone agreed to move on.

Do you have a copy of
taylor's original complaint?

Sure.

I'll grab a copy.

(keyboard clacking)
(tense music)

(reggie sighs)

So are you in court today?

Just prepping for
a murder case.

Hm. High profile.

Mentally challenged
woman kills a new mother,

Kidnaps her baby
thinking it's hers.

Just another
pool of despair.

Ohh, sounds uplifting.

(chuckles) wanna talk
about uplifting,

We should probably talk about
what's goin' on with you.

How's your "fundraiser" going?

(chuckles) don't be cute.

(avery chuckles)

Do you know anyone who
might be able to remove

A video from a porn site?

Ho, marcie diggs
asking for advice.

Feels like old times.

(both chuckle)

Look, it's not just
about removing the video

From trasheap,

You've got to track
down all the people

That downloaded the video

And then uploaded
it to their sites.

That's my question.

I-I need somebody who really
understands this world.

Remember my friend
corbin dexter,

The ip lawyer at m&m?

Works for viva inc.,
that, uh, that gaming company.

I could give him a call.

I'm sure he'd be
willing to help.

Okay.

Thanks.

(both chuckle)

Vickie:
Mr. And mrs. Diggs,

You all don't know
how shocked I was

When I saw you in my book.

Nearly fell off my chair.

Austin:
How's your mum?

Vickie:
Mum's great.

How's emily?

Mum told me
she got covid.

Yeah, it's been a
struggle for her

To get back to 100%.

Hm. I need to go see her.

Oh my god,

Mum would be
shocked if she knew

That you two were
here for counselling.

She would always say,

"hell would freeze before the
diggs break up." (chuckles)

So, tell me how can I help?

Um, I'm sorry.

I think we need to go.

Now.

'kay.

Well, it's been nice
chattin' with you, vickie.

"nearly fell off my chair".

Nope, austin.

Vickie is too close
for my comfort.

Between the talking stick
and the scream therapy-

No, I blocked that out.

Who knew the hard part would
be finding the right person?

What's that saying?

"nothing good is ever easy".

That's for sure.

Are you interested in
grabbing a coffee?

Not like there's

Sera:

beautiful this place is.

You said your client
wanted to talk.

Yes but a little context.

Two sets of the parents
want this to go away.

They don't want
all this mess

Floating around the
internet forever.

You read the copy of the
university complaint I sent you?

Does your client
want to talk to me

Or am I only here
to enjoy the view?

This doesn't need to be
that kind of talk, sera.

Here's the deal.

I only need one complainant.

I've got that.

I don't get it.

You read the texts.

You've seen all the
stuff they said to me.

Don't you care?

You committed a
crime ms. Dayal-

Taylor:
What out about them?

You're not the least
bit sympathetic?

God no, those boys are
a bunch of micro penises.

And if you repeat that,
I will deny it,

But you broke the law

And my job regardless of how
distasteful I may find it

Is to prosecute people
who break the law.

But my client is
the victim, sera.

Not those boys.

Do you really want
to send a message

That young women
shouldn't fight back

When they're being harassed?
-Screw you, marcie.

She pleads guilty-
-gives an acknowledgment-

Pleads guilty.

I will agree to six months
in custody.

And when she is done,

I will agree to her not being
classified as a sex offender.

She's not going to jail, sera.

Will I have a record?

Will I be able to
go back to school?

Taylor, we're not
taking the deal.

Sera:
You won't be
classified as a minor

So I can't
promise you that,

But I will make a
written recommendation-

Marcie:
Sera, you're not hearing me.

We are not interested.

Speak to your lawyer.

But if you want to talk.

Bye, marcie.

You're not taking the deal-

It's my life.

Amends?

Apologize.

This is about
establishing a law firm

That practices
next level legal aid.

Access to all of the
skills and talent

Of lawyers who excel
in their fields.

But at no cost.

The firm would be
spearheaded by me.

I was-

An associate in the corporate
commercial group at m&m,

The only person they hired
back in your articling year.

You left the year they
offered you partnership

For personal reasons.

Fell off the
grid for a year.

Ended up at legal aid
for four years.

You're currently
representing a young woman

Who's facing a ridiculous
child pornography charge.

Am I up to date?

And a little creepy.

I didn't tell you anything an
eight-year-old couldn't learn

With a ten-second
google search.

I pay attention though.

Plus corbin runs off at the
mouth we he's, uh, nervous.

Uh, so anyway-

Marcie, you don't
have to pitch me.

I'm in.

What is this?

Didn't your momma ever tell you
not to block your blessing?

So you want to invest.

Okay, um...

Let me, uh, walk you through
the co-financing agreement-

Viv:
No "co".

I'll finance all of it.

All of it.

And the strings?

Viv:
No strings.

I won't interfere
in your day-to-day.

I just need you to
make me a promise.

Promise me you'll do what
you say in your deck.

"our firm will focus on cases

"that bring about
systemic change.

"where there are grave
injustices in education,

"law enforcement,
healthcare,

"prison complexes,
human rights.

"our lawyers will
shine a light on it

"and push back against it".

What's in this for you?

You don't trust
easily do you?

No.

Viv:
Once corbin told
me who you were,

I looked you up,

Heard about what
you're doing.

It's bold, man.

Removing one of
the main reasons

So many of us end

Inadequate

It gives me goosebumps.

I want to help you hold
the system to account.

We work all of our
cases together.

There won't be your
case or my case.

They'll be our cases.

So, what's the money?

Doug.

What?

I got bills just
like everyone else.

And here I thought you
weren't about the money.

How's that work?

You had me at
"I miss working with you"

But this certainly helps.

(both chuckles)

I guess lunch is on me.

I guess so.

(gentle upbeat music)

(seagulls mew)

Marcie.

Dad.

Did you suggest
to your mother

We go see some minister
about our marriage?

Ah, yes, I did dad.

You know, she said that-

Honey, I wish you would've
stayed out of it.

Mom said the two of you

Were having trouble
finding a therapist.

We tried the therapy thing,
it didn't work.

But for the first time in,

I-don't-know-how-many-months,

We had a coffee,

We had a meal together.

Real nice, marcie.

I feel like we've
turned a corner.

Sometimes all things
need to heal are time.

But they don't heal dad,
do they?

They just scab over until
something hits you wrong

And then you find yourself
bleeding all over again.

Look, I'm sorry that I jumped
in the middle of things,

But if you two can't make it,
then we're all doomed.

(phone chimes)

I gotta go.

I love you.

(gentle rhythmic music)

Marcie:
I screwed up.

I thought if sera could just
see who she's prosecuting,

That I could,

I don't know.

Just it backfired
spectacularly.

We need to get
her back on side.

Well I'm glad to see I'm not
the only one who stepped in it.

I got a little
over aggressive

With the
director of students lady

And threatened to sue the
university into the ground

If they didn't let
taylor come back.

Oooh.

See now that's the
reggie I know and love.

(reggie chuckles)

What if it's not
a threat though?

They offered a safe
learning environment

And she accepted that offer

When she decided to
pay her tuition.

I'm-I'm so sick and tired of
these people pushing her around.

If they want to
be unreasonable,

Then let's be unreasonable.

Oooh, I like the
sound of that.

(marcie chuckles)
(raised voices)

Lowell:
Why are you being
so difficult?

You just need to plead
guilty and end all of this.

You're hurting all of us.

It was just jokes.

Why can't you be cool?

Marcie:
Hi, who are you?

This is lowell.

(tense music)

Okay. You need to go.

Stop all of this.

You're just being a
vindictive little bitch.

Hey, you were
asked to leave.

It was just jokes.

It was just jokes?

Threatening to rape me?

To rape my friend?

Those are jokes to you?

Get the hell out of here, boy.

You know what?

If I have to,
I will go to jail.

I will take the punishment
just so everyone knows

What creeps you and your
little prez boys are.

You're crazy.

(tense dramatic music)

(bicycle clicks away)

I'm trusting you, marcie.

I'm trusting you'll
do what you said.

(tense music swells)

We'll have to
confirm with taylor

Whether she spoke to the
university before she sent the

"recognize yourself" snap.

You mean the ones
with the hairy bums?

Marcie:
Yes, that one.

Doug:
Seventeen or eighteen
is the cut off

For something to be legally
considered child pornography.

Under the age of eighteen.

Huh.

What a way to spend
your eighteenth birthday.

What?

Doug:
The meeting on
taylor's complaint.

One of the boys, lowell.

It was his
eighteenth birthday.

You got something?

The original video was
sent on February 15th.

All the boys were seventeen.

But lowell's birthday
was on April 23rd.

The day of the hearing
at the university.

But the original
"supercut" video that was,

That was sent on may 27th.

After he turned eighteen.

And since he is the original
author of the "supercut"-

He procured, created
and distributed

Child pornography.

And should be charged right
alongside your client.

Looks like we're gonna
ruin sera's morning.

(reggie chuckles)

Cliff:
So austin,

Why don't you tell me
where your people are from?

My-my people?

What's that got to do
with me and velma?

Cliff:
Just humour me.

Humour him.

Weymouth.

Cliff:
But you live in
north preston.

It must have been
quite the adjustment.

Not particularly.

People are people, right?

So the people in
the community

Just welcomed you
with open arms?

Pretty much.

Pretty much, my eye.

Do you remember how
those smith boys

Always tried to fight you?

Kept asking me
when I was gonna

Leave "redbone"
for a real man?

They used to
tear into you.

They were just
testing me, velma.

Mad because I got the
prettiest girl up home.

See how he is?

How's that pivot
work for you?

(chattering)

Hey.

Good morning.

Why me?

Ask her.

No, honestly.

Why me?

Viv and I have been
together for eight months.

What do I know?

All I can say is vivian
develops fascinations

And currently you
are one of them.

Don't get used to it.

But if she wanted to
invest in a law firm,

Why wouldn't she just
set up her girlfriend?

She doesn't like
mixing work and personal.

So I shouldn't
offer you a job?

Are you offering me one?

Are you looking?

You and viv will get
along just fine.

(soft rhythmic music)

♪

Sera:
Late night,
last night, marcie?

I've been dealing
with irate parents

Since six this morning.

Why didn't you call me?

We could have
worked this out.

Well you didn't seem keen
on working anything out.

So your response is to go
and file a child pornography

And criminal
harassment complaint

Against one of the
victims in my case?

Sera, you're not someone
to play "chicken" with.

The boy who sent the
"supercut" to taylor

Was eighteen at the time.

He was not a minor
but his friends were,

And we have the
text to prove

That he facilitated
making the video.

Procured it to use
the technical term,

To use the legal term.

If you pursue charges
against my client,

You have no choice but to
pursue charges against

The boy as well.

Does that seem fair?

Except your client took this
outside the realm of "sexting"

By uploading the
video to trasheap.

You know the press is going
to have a field day with this.

You are going to look like
a fool in front of the jury.

Oh I didn't know you cared.

I don't know about you,

But I think it's time
to be done with this.

Treat her like a minor.

It's restorative justice.

She'll acknowledge what she
did but no guilty plea,

No sex offender registry,

And definitely no apology
because they don't deserve it.

What do you say sera?

We both get to be heroes.

Uffled rock music)

Haddock's good.

Reminds me of that little
place on the south shore

We went to a
couple years ago.

Remember?

Gilligan's.

I still think
about that fish.

I'm glad you agreed to come
on this little date with me.

Well just so you know,

I'm not the kind of girl that
kisses on the first date.

That's not my memory.

(both laugh)

Retta:
Austin.

I know that ain't
austin diggs.

Retta cole.

What the hell are
you doing here?

(retta laughs)

Still husslin'.

You know how it is.

This is my wife, velma.

Nice to meet you.

So you're the one who
stole him from us.

I can see why.

Austin:
I used to gig with retta and
her band back in the day.

Retta:
Look, I'm about
to go back up.

You might as well come
and join me and the boys

For a couple of songs.

Listen, retta we're just-

Ah, come on.

You mean to tell me you
gonna break a lady's heart

For a second time?

Sure, go.

I'm good.

Just one.

(upbeat music)

I'll take it, come on.

What are you doing?

Me?

You all up in

Like a couple of
high school kids.

(scoffs) it's just
a performance.

Same as you and I do.

I'm your wife, austin.

But maybe you and
retta forgot that

When you were gigging too.

We were having
a nice lunch.

Can we go back inside and
start over again? Please.

I don't think so.

No.

You did your dirt, austin.

And I let it go

'cause you're a good man

And a good father.

But if I'm being honest,

I don't trust you
have my back.

What are you talk-

Is this still about
that boy and the land?

I just didn't agree.

When you decided to
leave me with the girls.

No no no, we-we-we decide-

No, you decided!

You figured you'd go off and
become the next stevie wonder.

So you decided!

And I went along 'cause
I've always got your back!

Velma, I'm sorry.

I've always had your back.

When austin?

When you were screwing
around on the road?

Twenty years ago?
We're back there?

When you were
helping that boy

Try and take my
family's land.

When you're grinnin' and
tee-heein' with the girls

About how foolish I am.

Tell me when you
have my back?

I think I'm done.

Marcie:
They made the deal.

Yjc, acknowledgement,
no guilty plea,

And six months probation.

Your record will be
sealed after that.

For real?

Thank you so much, marcie.

I can't believe this
is finally over.

Ahh, not quite.

We've reviewed your claim.

While we don't
necessarily agree

With your recounting
of the facts,

We're willing to permit
ms. Dayal to return to class.

Great.

We just want to move on from
this whole sordid business.

I'm sure taylor feels
exactly the same way.

Ah, just one more thing.

We're going to
need an apology.

Yes. Okay.

Taylor we're
sorry for not-

Publicly.

Perhaps a column in
the school newspaper.

Well, better than her agreeing
to a sit down with cbc news.

You know, so we can be
done with this whole

Sordid business.

(upbeat jazzy music)

Reggie:
The whole nut?

Salaries, admin, building.

All of it.

That's scary.

(chuckles) we're
such lawyers.

It does sound too
good to be true.

I know, it does.

But vivian seems
completely sincere.

And in my experience,

If something sounds
too good to be true.

What, you don't believe
in philanthropy?

Look at bill gates
and steve jobs.

Sure. All I'm sayin' is
make sure you cross your "t's"

And dot your "I's" and
leave no room for surprise.

Nah, no such thing.

Reggie, if I've
learned anything,

It's be ready
for anything.

Doug:
To being ready
for anything.
