You've ruined my life.

I don't know

how I've lived this long

without cardamom in my coffee.

I-I-I don't think I could go back

to the other thing I was drinking.

Wait until you try his mother's.

It puts Taisir's to shame.

We shall see whose coffee
is best when Mother arrives.

Oh, you got her Visa?

Big meeting with immigration next week.

Fingers crossed,
she'll be in Canada very soon.

That's wonderful news, Taisir.

Our immigration system can
seem slow as cold molasses.

The best things in life take time.

After Fatima,
Yarah and I immigrated from Lebanon

we waited seven years
for our citizenship.

Patience rewards.

I love how you always
see the positive, Taisir.

That is why I am so confident

that we would beat this
bogus road rage claim.

Taisir is no "road rager".

That man jumped out of his car

and was-was shouting at
our daughter for no reason.

I slapped him to snap him out of it,

like in that movie with Cher.

Well, try another way next time.

Just need a few signatures from you

and then we can close your file.

Ah, that is sweet news to my ears.

Hand to Jesus,

Judge Farley Harris
never appeared in court

without 'em on under his robes.

You gotta a fertile imagination, Reg.

No, I never lost a
case when he wore pink,

but if he had on his leopard print,

well, you better ask for a continuance.

Do I wanna know how you found out

what's under Judge Harris' robe?

No, you don't.

Doug.

Dammit, he forgot to sign this.

- Hey.
- Iris,

the police are entering the building.

Listen up, police are here.

Anyone on a warrant, speak now.

Let my husband go.

What is going on?

What are you doing?

- Please don't!
- Take it easy.

He's not resisting.
Where's your arrest warrant?

Listen to me,

you need to tell them
that I'm your lawyer.

I will meet you at detachment.

Let's go.

Where are you taking him?!

Fatima, look at me.

Look at me.

Look at me.

I will take care of this.

Where's your arrest warrant?

I'm gonna find out

who from HPD signed
off on this take down.

This is an ugly,
banana republic nonsense.

It's open season on human rights.

This office,

this is supposed to be a safe space.

Who recorded this?

Reggie remembered the golden rule:

When you see police press record.

You recognize those uniforms?

According to HPD it's not their guys.

Can you send me a screen
grab of these two?

Marcie Diggs.

Marcie, it is Taisir.

Taisir, are you okay?

Yes, yes, why is this happening?

I'm going to find out. Where are you?

I am at the Sackville Detachment.

Okay, I'm coming to get you right now...

I gotta go.

I am, uh, legal counsel here
to see my client, Taisir Ahmed.

What was the client's name again?

Taisir, T-A-I-S-I-R.

Ahmed, A-H-M-E-D.

Great! Please have a seat,

someone will be with you shortly.

There's a client here
looking for Marcie.

She's not here.

Who is it?

Some young woman.

What's the issue?

A residential tenancies
hearing against her slumlord.

Slumlord?

I'm in.

This notice says you
haven't paid your rent

in over four months, is that true?

Yes.

Then your landlord is
well within their rights

to serve you.

If the rent is too expensive,

you could apply for a housing subsidy.

I can afford my rent.

I'm just not payin' it.

You can't do that.

You can't just withhold rent,

that's not how you fight an eviction.

I'm not payin' 'til they
turn my hot water back on.

There is a procedure
where you could challenge

the landlord for repairs and services,

and we could do that.

We could fill out the paperwork

but it kinda takes a while.

I don't have nowhere else to go.

What about your parents?

I only know my mother
and she's not an option.

I don't see any photos
here in Marcie's file.

Some photos might help us
to paint an overall picture

of your living conditions
for the arbitrator.

How close is your place?

I'm on Dahlia.

Really close.

Okay, let's go.

Okay, so we're playing this game.

No games, just lunch.

I've been waiting for two hours.

If I can't speak to my client,

at least confirm that he's here.

Hon,
someone should be with you shortly.

Or I'll see you when I get back.

You have to let it
run for a few minutes

before it clears up.

You can run it for hours
and it won't get warm.

Feel.

Oh, like ice.

We're gonna fix this.

I've used them
before, they work pretty well

the animal responds.

Some people have the
wrong idea about them.

But, I'll tell ya, if you use them...

Hello, I am...

Prong collars aren't so bad.

These rescue dogs,
some of them need something

a little more...

Put down that phone, now.

Good, I have your attention.

I'm not breaking any law.

I'm a lawyer attempting to
gain access to her client

Taisir Ahmed,

so that he can exercise
his right to counsel.

Counsellor,
I'm gonna give you three seconds

to stop recording...

Or what, Officer?

You think I'm playing with you?

I will make sure that...

Why don't we just smile
pretty for the camera?

Ben,

can you have the ambulance
chaser's client brought up

so she can screw off?

His name's Taisir,
T-A-I-S-I-R, Ahmed with an H.

There's no Taisir Ahmed
at this detachment.

What? I just spoke to him.

Check your log book.

Sorry, I got nothin'.

Mr. Southwell, hi, Pam MacLean.

Where's Ms. Diggs?

Ms. Diggs is tied up
with an emergency today,

so I'll be representing Kim Bond.

Listen, I've got a pretty full day so...

I asked the arbitrator to
give us a moment to talk.

About what, sir?

The unbelievable
conditions you have tenants

like my client living in.

Have you seen the state of these units?

Oh, you're right.

It's deplorable.

This is precisely what
I wanted to discuss.

The building in question

is in need of extensive renovations.

Now, I've notified the
Residential Tenancies Board

that I've filed for
permits from the city

to start those renovations immediately.

We bought out a block of rooms at the

Four Seasons Motel in Westphal.

We'll be able to start to relocate

the tenants there immediately.

And I guarantee you,

the water is piping hot.

How about it Ms. MacLean?

Mr. Southwell,

Kim's current monthly rent is $680.

Are you gonna ensure that she
has a unit in the new building

at that same price?

No.

Of course not.

Kim, without rent control,

Mr. Southwell's
effectively evicting you.

We'll have to take this up

with the arbitrator when he gets back.

Well as you know
the subject of today's hearing

relates solely to the issue
of your client's eviction.

I'm not evicting her.

In fact, I'm relocating
her to a new property.

And I'll offer her a spruced up unit

when the renovations are complete.

At a spruced up price.

Be happy.

You won.

Hey.

Hey, I need to find one of these guys.

Good luck with that.

Guys, we could cover the
detachments in the city

in a couple of hours.

Be home by dinner?

Ha, couple of hours my ass.

Come on Marcie.
It's after five on a Friday.

Weekend's calling.

I'll cover off two
days for each of you.

Any two days you want.

Where's my "Free Taisir" t-shirt?

They're clearly trying to
hold Taisir for the weekend,

without charging him.

Oldest trick in the book.

Pick him up on a Friday,

drop him off on a Monday.

Long weekend, two days turns into four.

- Magic.
- It's B.S.

Well don't it smell good.

Well, I'll see ya on Monday.

You remember a movie
called Men In Black?

Men In Black was a
secret organization that...

Okay, I know Men In Black

and I'm really too
tired to talk in code.

CSIS isn't a police force.

They don't have the power
to arrest and detain.

But they can ask another agency

to pick someone up for them.

But RCMP told me that they
didn't pick up Taisir.

Well there's a lot of
branches in that tree.

My guess,

you're shaking it too low.

You know, a wise and
beautiful woman once told me,

work is best left at work.

That was before she needed
her boyfriend's help.

Her boyfriend, huh?

Well that is my new favourite word.

Is there anything your
boyfriend can do to help?

Okay, don't make me take it back.

The cops grabbed one of my clients

from our office this morning.

They just tossed him in back of a van

and drove off.

I'd say your client is in trouble.

Oh someone's trying to be cute.

I don't need cute right now.

I need to know

how I would track
down a couple of cops.

Local or my guys?

You tell me.

I don't recognize them.

Bullshit, come on.

Marcie?

Marcie Diggs.

A bullet dodged.

I'll be right back.

It's nice to see you, Marcie.

You look amazing.

Hello, Jake.

You still riding those
waves in Martinique?

We should have dinner some night.

Just two old friends catching up.

Except we're not friends.

Bye Jake.

How are my favourite
articling students?

- Hey.
- Hey.

What's going on?

Now, you're perfect.

Leah, what are you doing, girl?

Okay, we agreed no shop talk.

Personal is personal.

Gimme the phone.

I don't know them,

but from what you told me
and how jacked they look,

they could be "Costa's crew".

Who's Costa's crew?

They are a special unit
way above my pay grade.

Costa's team, they work out
at the gym on Kennedy Drive,

but they don't let
anybody train with them,

that's not part of their unit.

They're like a HGH cult.

Hm.

I bet you can't keep up.

Can I help you?

Yeah, I'm looking for Costa.

There's no Costa here.

You sure?

'Cause I think he'll want
to hear what I have to say.

This gym's closed to the public.

Why don't you have your boss call me

or I'm gonna show up here every day.

Come back here and you'll
be cited for trespassing.

That operating licence means
this gym is a public space.

So try it.

I heard you were looking for me.

And who are you?

Sylvia Costa, Director of Operations,

National Security Criminal
Investigations Unit.

Uh, wait,
did you say National Security?

Is it all coming together for you now?

Your client is being
held under Section 83

of the criminal code.

Terrorism?

Taisir? No.

No.

- Where's my client being held?
- I can't answer that.

He's entitled to a lawyer.

Your client received his phone call.

Taisir Ahmed is not a terrorist.

How would you know, Marcie?

Can I call you Marcie?

How long have you
actually known Mr. Ahmed?

A year at best.

My people, people I trust,

tell me he's a bad actor.

He has a history of radical,
anti government rhetoric

that goes back to his days
in Pakistan and Lebanon.

Don't stick your neck out for this guy,

you don't know enough.

You know what I know?

Grabbing a citizen off the street

and taking them god knows where...

- Here we go.
- Denying them due process,

denying them access to
legal counsel is wrong.

I'm not the villain here, Marcie.

I'm trying to help you.

Don't embarrass yourself
by getting in the way

of an ongoing investigation.

You want me to back off?

You tell me where my client is.

Don't say you weren't warned.

Have a good day, Marcie.

Why would they do this to us?

Fatima, the RCMP think that
Taisir may be a terrorist.

Taisir is no terrorist.

He mentioned that he was
a teacher back in Lebanon.

Was he political?

Taisir was a
Macroeconomics professor at BAU.

That's why we went to Lebanon.

We came to this country

because Taisir became a target.

Every week he was being
arrested or interrogated

just for saying words.

I thought that Canada was different.

Please, Yarah!

I need to see him, Marcie.

When will I be able to see him?

We are checking the court
dockets right now but,

usually they bring him before a judge

within 24 hours of arrest.

But under this terrorism act...

Taisir has a hearing for his
mother's Visa in four days.

He has to be at that hearing

or they will reject her application.

I'm trying,

Fatima,

you have to believe me, I am trying.

Find him, Marcie.

No I can't Kim,

I'm sorry, it's not appropriate.

I can give you the number
for a moving company

you could call and...

Ugh, dammit.

Hello.

- Hi.
- Good to see ya.

Well I am glad we
could finally set a date.

Beginning to think that
you were avoiding me.

I know, Dad.

I'm sorry, work's been stupid.

Brought you somethin'.

Bergen's Bagels.

Straight from Brooklyn.

Mm, they're still warm.

I know, they're your favourite huh?

Mhm, Sam's too.

Yeah.

Look, I brought a dozen,

so feel free to share
with your sister, okay?

I will.

I'll take them to her apartment later.

Have you seen her new place?

Nope, not yet.

So, I'm gonna have

traditional English
with eggs sunny-side up.

You?

Think I'll skip this menu

and just devour these later instead.

So how goes the struggle for
freedom, justice

and equality?

I don't know.

I have a client with FASD
who's eight months pregnant

and being forced to
move by her slumlord.

She called me this morning

and asked if I could help
her move and I said no

and now I'm here.

Pam, I keep telling you,

forget Legal Aid.

If you wanna make a real difference,

I'll give you the reigns
of the foundation.

'Cause all the problems in the world

can be solved with a cheque, right?

- No, that's...
- Colm!

Here comes my slumlord.

Colm, I haven't seen you out

at the Highland Links yet, this season.

Oh, we'll have to correct that.

We'll, uh, set a time.

MacLean, ah, that's funny,

I didn't make the connection.

I wouldn't have thought your
little girl would be working

for Legal Aid.

She's quite a fighter.

- Takes after her old man.
- Yeah.

She could probably
spend a little more time

at this one's knee.

Wow!

Just...

wow.

Okay, Dad,
you need to keep better company.

No, no, no, no, Pam.

This woman came to your home?

Waiting for me at the
end of my driveway

like some stalker.

I checked in with a friend of
mine who works for justice,

he couldn't get off the
phone with me fast enough.

What did she want?

She told me Taisir's being
held under section 83.

Your guy's a terrorist?

What is he trying to kill people

with all the coffee he's pushing?

It's B.S.

- She's trying to rattle me.
- What if she's right?

Look if this guy is radioactive,

we're all gonna face blow back.

Maybe we just need to let
Costa do what she needs to.

You've got other cases.

You can just focus on them.

What happened to this
being a safe space?

Look, no one person is gonna
put everybody in this office,

including yourself, at risk.

I got to agree with Colleen on this.

I mean,
I'm not sayin' the cops are right

but you don't have the full story.

Are you hearing yourselves?

How many times have the
cops arrested people

without reasonable
and probable grounds?

Why is this any different?

Look, all I'm saying is

they know more about
Taisir than you do.

Either way,
there's nothing more to be done

until he's charged and arraigned.

I'm all for a good fight with The Man

but you're punching into the darkness.

Marcie, your boy.

Wait, why would Taisir be
on the docket in Windsor?

Because Windsor is an
hour outside of Halifax

and the further that Taisir
is away from his lawyer

the better.

I have a client at
noon, Reggie, would you...

Yeah, yeah, just go.

Go, go, go.

You gotta be kidding me.

As long as I have a clean
room and hot water it's fine.

My Mom always use to say,

sometimes you gotta make due.

Where is your mom?

I know you said staying
with her isn't an option

but I'm sure she'd wanna help you out.

You don't know Maureen.

No, I'm not comfortable
leaving you here.

I know! We can go to Clay's.

Clay, who's Clay?

My baby-daddy.

Hello.

What do you mean he's no
longer on the Windsor docket.

He was just listed on it an hour ago.

Dammit.

What games are you playing?

I thought it would be
crystal clear to you by now,

I don't play games.

Why would you pull
Taisir from the Windsor docket?

Because your client has
an outstanding warrant

in British Columbia for assault.

We're waiting on word if they want us

to transport him back there.

They got six days to let us know, so.

Don't do this.

You know that my guy
is not a terrorist.

So now you're a mind reader.

Listen, his mother is
trying to come here on a Visa.

Her hearing is on Thursday.

And you'd like me to bend the rules

when it comes to national security

because your terrorist client's mother

wants to travel to Canada.

You lawyers.

No, I want you to use your head.

Why would Taisir go through
all of the time and effort

to get his mother a Visa
to come to this country,

where he has citizenship,

if he was a terrorist?

Everything that you're
doing to this man

and his family that's on you.

You don't get to say that you
were just following orders.

Is that all Ms. Diggs?

Avery.

Oh, ah.

- Sorry, I...
- Hey, no...

I'm sorry, I didn't mean to
interrupt your-your lunch.

Your assistant said that it was...

No it's-it's all good.

I'm just, uh...

Is there-is there something I could...

You gotta...

Did I get it?

No, just a little, just...

There.

Okay, uh, thank you.

Avery, I need help with an

outstanding warrant for my client.

You check JEIN?

It's a federal warrant, not provincial

and I-I don't have access to that.

Marcie, you know I don't
like poking around like that.

My ID is timestamped
every time I do a search.

My client, Taisir Ahmed,

he was-he was arrested on Friday.

I haven't had a lawyer/client
meeting with him.

I don't know where he's being held.

Okay, okay, um...

What did you say his name was?

Taisir Ahmed.

Taisir, okay.

All right, I will, uh,

shoot you over an email.

Great, I appreciate this.

Leah?

Hey, you know,

I should introduce you to
my old partner, Tessa Cox.

Actually,
I've been working a lot with Jake.

I saw you two leave the bar
together the other night.

He's been a really great mentor to me.

Jake's "mentored" a lot of
young ladies over the years.

I get it.

He's got a reputation

but he's been nothing but a sweetheart.

Look, I'm just having fun,
it's nothing serious.

I'm not into falling in
love with married men.

He told you about his wife?

He said that they
have an understanding.

I don't know if his wife knows
about this understanding.

That's Jake and his wife's
issue to sort out, not mine.

Just be careful, okay.

I think it's great that Clay
is stepping up, you know.

He's accepting his
fatherly responsibilities.

- Clay cares about me.
- Yeah.

Hey.

You can't live here with a child.

I got the house all set up.

- Kim can't stay here.
- Why not?

Because I'm getting
high just standing here.

No no,
I'm gonna keep all the smoke away.

I-I put up a curtain
so we got our own room.

Smoke moves through curtains, Clay.

Well a curtain will move,
you know, like, uh, a fan.

- It's all good.
- No, let's go.

Honestly, Child and Family
Services will be all over you

if you move in here with a kid.

I know I'm harping now but your mom...

My mom doesn't want me.

She kicked me out when I got pregnant.

It'll be a three to six
week waitlist for a shelter

and near impossible to
get a low income landlord

to take you because of your
action against Silver Lake.

You did that.

All I wanted was hot water.

Well, maybe I can talk to your mom.

I'll try to smooth
things over with her.

Yeah, let's do that.

I'll call you later, Clay.

Doug.

Nope, no, no and no again.

I helped you canvas the detachments

but I draw the line at covering cases.

And here I thought you were
the heart of this place.

What does that mean?

You know,
Reggie's helping out just to help.

- Reggie?
- Mhm.

- Bullshit.
- For real.

I still want my plea days.

I keep my promises.

- Hey.
- It's Iris.

Your 3:30 is in the conference room.

What 3:30?

I haven't heard from you, Marcie.

Where is Taisir?

Taisir is being detained

on an out of province warrant from B.C.

British Columbia?

We've never even been there.

If the police find an
outstanding warrant

in another province,

they are allowed to hold a person

for an additional six days before...

We've never been to British Columbia!

Marcie.

We chose to live in a
country where our education

isn't even recognized.

We chose to live with
the Lebanese community

because the sounds remind
me of our home in Lebanon.

Taisir is a good man.

And-and I feel that about him.

He's put so much energy and time

into this Visa application
for his mother.

If Taisir misses that hearing...

I'm doing everything I can

to make sure that doesn't happen.

What are you doing, Marcie?

Tell me that!

You can't even say where
my husband is right now.

Fatima, I am-I am just as

worried about him as you are.

It's not possible you
are as worried as me.

I promise you.

I promise you I will find Taisir.

Yarah!

Are you not even concerned
about your father?

This is what I have to deal with.

She acts like she doesn't care.

But she's very worried.

She feels bad.

Yarah got into a fight with her father

the day before all this happened.

A fight over what?

Politics, racism,

a two-state solution, who knows?

Yarah has all the answers.

If that child knew what
we have experienced,

she would hold her tongue.

Do you mind if I try to talk to Yarah?

You're gonna go deaf.

Another problem you can't solve.

Okay, can you just drop the attitude

for a minute and talk to me.

No thanks, people that talk
to you don't come home.

And by the way,

how did they know to
find him at your office?

You think I did this?

I'm not my mother.

You act like you wanna
help but you set my dad up.

You're just like that other guy.

I have no idea what
you're talking about.

What other guy?

I'm not telling you anything.

Mom might trust you but...

I'll find my dad my own way.

Yarah, the only person
that I'm working for

is your father, your family.

Forget about my family.

We'll be fine without you.

Oh, this is by far the best
crop M&M's had in years.

Mhm.

It's like a runway on the fifth floor.

You see that new Indian chick?

Leah.

Pure smoke show.

I had her all lined up until, uh,

Jake Turner swooped in.

Asshole.

Can I help you?

Whoa, whoa, whoa. What's going on?

What's that all about?

What the hell?

I need a word, Leah.

Right now.

I'll be up in a minute.

Have you learned nothing?

We have to be better than them.

They don't apply the same rules to us,
you know this.

Keep your voice down.

What is this all about?

This guy Jake is bad news.

Once you start sleeping
with married men...

Seriously Dad, seriously?

You have no room to talk about anyone.

These scumbags are
talking about you like,

like you're some party favour
that they pass around here.

This conversation is over.

Look, I just don't want
you to get chewed up

by some creep twice your age.

I've seen the women you date.

Age ain't nothin' but a number, right?

That's so stupid.

We didn't raise you to be stupid.

You didn't raise me at all.

None of these guys are my Taisir.

Look at this.

You are being watched!

You are being watched!

You are being watched!

You are being watched!

What is this girl doing?

Brown lives matter too.

You are being watched!

You are being watched!

You are being watched!

You are being watched!

Thank you.

I admire what you did.

It took guts.

Most people complain
about what's unfair

and then shrug it off and accept it.

What did your sign mean?

"You are being watched."

I found something.

Is that a camera?

I found it in the shop
and showed it to my father.

I've never seen him
that angry in my life.

He called some guy yelling in Arabic.

What did he say?

He kept saying, "I told you no."

Did you see this man?

He came to the shop to
try to calm my dad down.

It didn't work.

What is the man saying to your father?

He's telling my dad,

"If you're a good
Canadian then prove it."

"You're Pakistani,"

"you don't owe the Lebanese
community any loyalty."

I think he wanted my dad to
spy on the Lebanese Social Club

across the street.

Can you pause it and-and
zoom in on the licence plate?

Gotcha.

I know you've had your differences.

Can't put Kim up, okay.

Barely got room for myself.

You've got plenty of room I...

may I?

Okay, we could...

we could put a partition right here

and then that way everybody
has their privacy.

I said no.

Look, I know I made my
mistakes with Kim, okay.

I'm not gonna fix her now.

Listen.

No matter what mistakes
you've made in the past,

I can see that you've
turned your life around.

Kim is pregnant and alone right now.

Teach her to be resilient, like you.

I can't do it alone.

I'm here to help.

Well she's lucky to
have you in her life.

So Kim can stay here?

For now.

Okay.

He's CSIS, isn't it?

Taisir wouldn't play nice

and now they're being spiteful.

Talk to CSIS about that,
I don't work for them.

They wouldn't tell you
what they were doing.

They just sent in their lapdog.

Taisir Ahmed was arrested
based on valid evidence.

No.

My client told CSIS no

and now they're using you
and your unit to punish him.

I want my client back

or I'm gonna get really
loud and go to the press

and that's not something you want.

Don't make a mistake.

I can make things hard for you.

You got 'til end of day.

Is that my space heater?

I guess the positive of
having you home is I'll

get back everything you
ever borrowed from me.

And I use the word borrowed loosely.

That's my favourite scarf.

What'd you do to it?

I don't need this shit.

Okay, calm down.

Everyone let's just be civil.

Here, double check my car
to if you've left anything.

I'll take the rest of the stuff inside.

I told Kim only two bags,

I barely got room for myself.

This is the last of it.

It's gonna be tight,

us all living together
when that baby comes.

It's only temporary.

You'll make it work.

Kim's welfare's coming here, right?

Why are you asking?

Power's gonna double.

Groceries ain't cheap.

Kim's not stayin' here
without pullin' her weight.

She's pregnant with your grandchild.

Look at that heart.

Bleeding all over the place.

You must think I'm runnin' a charity.

Wanna help?

I never said anything about money.

Let her stay with her baby daddy then.

No, wait.

I'm just trying to protect her.

You can't shake a bad reputation.

I'm her father.

I can't just watch my
daughter crash and burn.

Doug, Leah is not some
deer in headlights

that needs to be saved by her daddy.

Marcie Diggs.

Remember,
regardless of what you may think,

we are the good guys,

Marcie.

I could use a drink or three.

Care to join me?

I have a date but I will
gladly take a rain cheque

as long as you're buying.

Hey, um,

is Marcie Diggs around?

Sorry, she went home for the night.

Ah, thanks.

Hey Marcie's friend,

are you up for a drink?

Open it.

Now you can make your own.

Here, I'll show you.

Yarah.

See, Yarah,

a mistake was made
but justice prevailed.

You were racially profiled
and discriminated against.

Yes but because of lawyers like Marcie

the system worked.

Okay, Dad.
