- Legacy Pines scandal.
"Solomon Stafford brought in

for questioning
in the death of a student.

- Our lawsuit goes away
the second you drop yours.

- What if he's the target,
not ClearDawn? He's been pulling

the strings all along.
- Look, we swing and miss here,

Joanna, then you, me, Kodie,
we're all on the hook.

And it's not just us we have
to think about anymore.

- I am so scared.

- I wanna have this baby...
with you.

- What the hell
are we going to do?

- Blackmail. He knows
why your marriage broke up.

- That was a long
time ago, Owen.

- He's got pictures.
- [Joanna]: It didn't make sense

how they were
operating under the radar

because they weren't.
They were being protected.

- [Billy]: They're funnelling
money through the campaign.

- This is bigger than Solomon.
- So she knows exactly

what's going on.
- OWEN!

We need Sam Mercer.

- You don't have a case.
- Admit that you used

faulty tests to remove children
from their homes

and we will drop our suit.

- If you put Miss Chartrand
on the stand, I won't hold back.

- Your client used
bogus science. He made millions.

- You can't prove it.
- Dr. Stone's a fraud.

- He's world-renowned.
That's who the jury will see.

- Not when I'm done with 'em.
- It'll come down

to who the jury believes:

a celebrated doctor
or Miss Chartrand.

Dr. Stone has
an unimpeachable reputation.

His institution is respected
and we are well-financed

for a long,
drawn-out legal fight.

You've lost this one,
Miss Chang.

[poignant classical music]

If you were expecting
a last-second capitulation,

you were mistaken.
But I'm happy to buy breakfast.

You need all the financial help
you can get.

[gasping]

- [whispering]: It's slipping
away from us.

He knows it.

But I guess you heard all that.

We have one more day.

You can do a lot in a day.

[theme music]

- Owen, I'm late for a meeting
with the kids club.

- It'll only take a few minutes.
- I don't even have a minute.

- I need to ask you a few
questions about ClearDawn Labs.

- I don't know much about it.

- Child apprehensions have
increased every year

since you've been in office.
- These are complicated issues.

[sighs]
- Too much for a simple

police officer to understand?
- That's not what I meant.

Millwood Family Services is
an independent agency.

- But you control the funding.
- No, I oversee

budget negotiations.
[Owen sighs]

- Nothing happens
without your sign-off.

- Do you know how crazy you
sound, Owen? Now, I have to go.

- Something came up
in the Chartrand civil case.

Transfer payments of money
from ClearDawn Labs

to your re-election campaign.

- I don't know
anything about it.

- Mayor Shepherd.
- Am I under arrest, Owen?

Because if not, the kids are
gonna get hungry if I'm late.

Make an appointment with
my assistant. I promise you,

we'll clear it all up.

- This is an immunity agreement
with the Millwood Police.

- It's very limited.
- If you provide us

with information
that aids us in our case

against ClearDawn,
Millwood Police will not

pursue an investigation.

- Owen agreed to this?

- It's for past events only.
- If you fail

to provide us
with useful information,

the deal is cancelled.

So, what made you
first look into ClearDawn?

- [Joanna]: They have you

for extortion while on parole.

You'll get 15 years,
and this time, you will

do all of it.
- Police attend

child apprehensions.
We saw the stats goin' up.

- [Cat]: shady AF, man.

Dr. Stone hid his dark past
annoyingly well.

"Solomon Stone,

Award of Excellence
in the Community."

Luna?

- The racist jerk who tried
to put me in jail is here.

[ominous classical music]

[Luna sighs]
- Millwood signed

an exclusive contract
with ClearDawn Labs.

- All of this over some lab
tests? I'm missing something.

- Family Services... police...

municipal workers,
all those tests add up.

It's a lot of money.
- So Millwood pays ClearDawn

for the tests and some of that
trickles back to Mayor Shepherd.

- Do you think she knew
what they were up to?

- Alison knows about everything.

- And what can you
tell us about the science

behind the testing?

- I barely finished
high school, Billy.

- Did you ever hear anything?

- When I started, I'd accompany
people on the drug test

and then suddenly, they changed
the way they did the tests.

- What changed?
- I don't know, the...

the procedures. Then we saw
apprehensions going up.

They said they found
a more efficient test.

- And when was this?
- 2008.

- That's when
Dr. Stone took over.

[tense classical music]

- Alright, thank you.

[gasping]

- You left without
saying goodbye.

- I mean... it was early.

- I was just leaving.

- Well, I'll see you tonight.

- Parent-teacher conferences.
I'll be late.

- OK.

- Do you wanna know
about the affair?

- It's none of my business.
- I would never do that to you.

- I never said you would.
- You haven't looked at me

since you found Mercer's file.

- There's a lot going on.
- Owen.

I made a mistake.

- I know.

[Diane sighs]
- I gotta go.

[sighs]

[tense classical music]

- Here's another list
of the doctor's awards,

donations and volunteer work.
- Keep looking.

You'll find something.
- OK.

- We need you to pack up all the
research on the doctor and bring

that with you to Millwood. OK?
- Billy and I are leaving

to work with the
witnesses. You and Cat can--
- Why did you bring him here?

- Look...

Luna, I'm sorry,
but we need Mercer's testimony.

- Joanna, you can't trust him.
- We go to trial tomorrow

with the lives
of two children at stake.

You have to stop
questioning my judgment.

We are all

making sacrifices, Luna.

[tense classical music]

- I haven't heard from you.

- How did you get in here?

- Oh. Well, I just told them
I was your niece.

That guy doesn't seem too sharp.

[stammers]
OK.

- It's over.

- What? What do you mean,
it's over?

- Billy and Joanna arranged
a plea deal for Sam Mercer.

They need him as a witness.

- Bad guys getting away
with bad stuff.

Wow. It seems like that's
the way the world works now.

- Well, sometimes...
we have to make compromises

for the greater good.

- For the greater good. Right.

- We don't have to like it.
- Well, I really don't like it.

- Well, I don't like it either.

- It was nice
working with you, Becks.

Luna was right.
You're a solid dude.

- Taylor.

You can let it go now.

- I'll try.

[phone ringing]
[sighs]

- Hi.
- [Keep researching the doctor.]

If he's been falsifying drug
tests, there has to be a reason.

- [You're asking me to find
a needle in a haystack.]

[You know that, don't you?]

- I know I can count on you.
- [Is this your way]

of apologizing about Mercer,

giving me an impossible task
to show that you believe in me?

- You always come through
for me, Luna.

- I'm on it, then.

- I have to prove that a famous
doctor is wrong in a field

of science I don't understand.
He's testified in hundreds

of trials. He's seasoned,
practiced and prepared.

- So are we.
- He has everything to lose.

- So do we. The clock's running.

Kodie's kids are gonna
be adopted out.

Losing isn't an option.

Let's get to work.

- When were you first introduced
to illicit substances?

- I can't remember not being
around drugs or alcohol.

Do we really have to do this?

- They are going to ask you
about your past.

We tell it first, our way.

Would you consider yourself
to be a drug addict?

- Are you serious right now?

- I'm trying to prepare you
for whatever questions

they may ask you tomorrow.
Kodie, it is extremely important

you keep your cool.
- Keep my cool?!

They stole my kids
but I'm supposed to keep cool?!

- Our only shot at winning

is if we show the court that you
aren't who they think you are.

- What if I fail?

- You won't.

I know you can do this.

When we were kids,

you were the strong one.

You never let me give up.

I'm going to do
the same for you.

[indistinct chatter]

[soft country music playing]

- I've been looking for you.
- You found me.

- You're not supposed
to be in here.

- Aw, it's just chicken
fingers and a Coke.

Smell it if you don't
believe me.

- Still, you shouldn't be here.
- It's under control, Lucky.

- You're testifying tomorrow.

- Can't wait.

- I got you a suit. Second hand,
but it's in good shape.

It should fit.
- What, you think

I don't have a suit?
- Do you wanna

go over your testimony?
- Whatever you need.

- We're arguing
that the lab's faulty science

resulted in Kodie losing
custody of her kids.

So the other side, they're gonna
point to your complaint

of parental neglect. You have
to retract it on the record.

- You can count on me.

- Speak clearly. Be polite.

Look, that's just
what I say to any witness.

I'll pick you up at 9.
- I can get there on my own.

- I wanna make
sure you're there.
- I'll drive myself.

I know it must really
piss you off that...

the case hinges on the least
reliable person you know.

- There's shoes in there.
And clean socks.

[birds chirping]

[engine stops]

- Good afternoon!

Joanna Chang?
- Yes.

I just need a few minutes.
- I'm busy,

tired, stressed
and over-worked, as usual.

- I hear that.
- I need an espresso IV,

maybe something stronger.

- I'm from Millwood
Family Services.

I hear you're having a baby.
Congratulations.

It's my job to ensure
that every child in Millwood

is born into a safe
and loving environment.

- We have a safe environment.
- I'm sure.

I just need to come in
and make sure the home is ready.

- An inspection?
- No! Just a friendly visit.

- No, I don't consent
to an inspection.

- It's our duty
to ensure the safety
and wellbeing of every child.

- Our child is safe.
It's still inside.

- Even an unborn child
can be at risk.

"An espresso IV
or something stronger."

- Please, I was joking.

This is trial strategy.

- I don't know what you mean.
- They're trying

to get me off my game.
- We received an anonymous tip

about an unsafe home
and we need to--

- Follow up on every tip,
I get it.

- I just need to do
a home inspection.

- You're not coming
into our house.

- We don't need your consent.
Don't make this hard.

If you refuse entry,
that could be used against you.

[door creaks]
[alarm beeps]

- Hank Crawford'll be there
and ready to go.

Maybe.

How was Kodie?

- She's as ready
as she'll ever be.

- You can't get a medical degree
by the morning.

- Millwood Family Services
paid us a visit.

- It's a tactic to scare us off.

- It doesn't matter.
There's an open file, Billy.

One mistake, one carless error,
any medical test we take--

- And they can take our baby.

- We can't just win.

We have to obliterate them.

- OK.

So nothing left standing.

We wipe Millwood Family Services
and ClearDawn off the map.

- ClearDawn Labs was negligent
in carrying out

its drug testing regime.

Its faulty testing protocol,

devised and overseen
by Dr. Solomon Stone,

caused the wrongful apprehension
of our client's children.

We also allege

that ClearDawn's faulty science

contributed to the wrongful
apprehension of 56 children

by Millwood Family Services.

Some of the people affected
are with us in court today.

Our client seeks
damages for negligence,

along with a court ruling
on the validity

of ClearDawn test results
in custody cases.

Thank you, Your Honour.

- Call your first witness,
Ms. Chang.

We call Mushkode Chartrand.

- I was taken

from my mother and put
in foster care when I was 8.

- When did you
start using drugs?

- I stayed away from it
for a long time.

Then someone says,
"This'll take the pain away."

- What kind of pain?
- That memory...

my mom through
the back window of a car

as I was being taken away.

- But then you quit.

- My boyfriend overdosed.

[sighs]
And...

I didn't wanna be
another casualty

of this country's history,
so I stopped.

- But, um...

But you failed a drug test.

- The test was wrong.
- It was conducted

by a respected medical lab.
- I know I was clean.

- Do you know
what perjury means?

- Yes, lying under oath.

- The penalty for perjury
is 14 years.

You love your kids.

You fought hard
to get them back.

If you lie in this court today,
you could spend the rest

of their childhood in jail.

- I understand.

- When you took
ClearDawn's drug test...

were you using drugs?
- No.

- Are you sure? 14 years.
- I was clean.

- Thank you.

- Mr. Page, your witness.

[Joanna breathing raggedly]

[ominous classical music]

- Hank's not here.

- Ms. Chartrand, how many times
have you been arrested?

- Um...

- You have to count?
- Objection.
- Sustained.

- Six years ago,
you were charged

with credit card fraud.
Who was the victim?

[sighs]
- A neighbour.

- Elderly neighbour.

- Yes.
- You defrauded

an old lady

only six years ago.

And now we're expected
to believe you over the

respected doctors at ClearDawn?
- Objection. Does he have

a question?
- No.

No further questions.
- That was six years ago!

- The witness is excused.
- I've changed.

- Ms. Chartrand,
you've been excused.
- No, I don't do that anymore.

- Kodie.

[tense music]

[sighs]

- [Billy]: The City of Millwood

has an exclusive contract
with ClearDawn Labs?

- For all municipal testing.
Police officers are tested,

city workers.
- And it's also used

by Millwood Family Services.

Now, under this contract...

what happened to the number
of child apprehensions?

- There were more of them.

- I have here the stats
from Millwood Family Services.

The number of apprehensions
doubled. Is that correct?

- Yes.
- So why,

all of a sudden, was there

an epidemic of bad parents
in Millwood?

What changed?

- [Sam]: The way they did
the testing.

- And this was
after Dr. Solomon Stone

took over at ClearDawn Labs.
- They said they found

a new drug testing method
that would catch more offenders.

- That bothered you?
- As a cop, you know who uses

and who doesn't. A few of the
cases, I questioned the results.

- You suspected
the test was faulty?

- Yes.
- And you never said anything?

It's above my paygrade.

- Thank you.

- What is your
current occupation?

- Objection. Relevance?
- The witness will answer.

- Currently unemployed.

- Probably because you were
just released from prison.

- Objection.
- Withdrawn. Where did you

complete your medical degree?
- Objection.

Mr. Page knows he does not
have a medical degree.

- The witness opined
on the method of testing.

The jury should know
his level of expertise.

We have, uh, your high school
transcript. Shall I go over

your science grades?
"Chemistry C-, Biology--"

- Objec- Agh!
- [Billy]: Joanna!

- [doctor]: Abdominal pain is
common in pregnancy.

- She doubled over, and she has
a very high pain tolerance.

- Well, it doesn't necessarily
mean there's anything wrong.

- You can't find a heartbeat.
- Well, sometimes it takes

a few seconds.
- It's been a few minutes.

We have to get Hank
on the stand.

- No, that's not a good idea.
You need to just take it easy.

She's gotta take it easy, right?
- We need him to retract

his complaint
about parental neglect.

The jury has to hear that.

[rapid heartbeat]
[Joanna sighs]

- We're gonna ask
for a continuant.

- No, we're not!
I didn't miscarry.
- Joanna, be reasonable.

- No, I'm fine. I'm fine, right?
- Well, she should rest.

- There! Thanks. That's all set.
- She said "should", not "must."

We call Hank.

- You made a complaint

about parental neglect
against Kodie Chartrand.

- I saw her leave.
I knew the kids were

inside the house alone.
- Did you believe

that Kodie Chartrand was
a neglectful parent?

- Well, the kids always ran
all over my lawn.

I overreacted.

I made it up.

- So you take back
your complaint?

- Kodie was doing a great job,
in my opinion.

Parenting is hard.

- [Billy]: Thank you.

- We ask that the witness
be dismissed

and his testimony be stricken.
- On what grounds?

- I believe the witness is
under the influence of alcohol.

- Are you drunk, Mr. Crawford?

- No, ma'am.
- You're under oath.

- Mr. Crawford?

Were you aware
of his impairment?

- I believe the witness has
given truthful testimony.

- Were you aware of his
condition when you called him

to the stand?
- Uh, he swore, um,

an out-of-court statement.

- Sorry, Mr. Crawford.

[soft music]

- We respectfully
withdraw the witness.

- The Bailiff will remove
the witness from the court,

and the jury will disregard
the testimony of Henry Crawford.

- We call Dr. Solomon Stone.

- I've been a doctor at
ClearDawn since the late '90s,

and I became
chief medical officer in 2008.

- An exemplary career.

Prizes, awards, commendations.

- I work hard at it.

- ClearDawn is
a testing facility?

- We do lab work for hospitals,
research facilities,

diseases, infections,
cancer screenings.

- Can you tell us
how those drug tests work?

Our client tested
positive for cocaine.

- Cocaine use is confirmed
by detecting the presence

of benzoylecgonine,
which is produced in the liver

and excreted by the kidneys.
- Benzoylecgonine,

the primary metabolite
of cocaine.

- Very good.
- I'm a quick study.

- Benzoylecgonine is the
corresponding carboxylic acid

of cocaine. It is
cocaine's methyl ester.

- So the presence of
benzoylecgonine in a test sample

is evidence of cocaine use?

- Yes, at very high levels.
- You concluded that our client

had recently used
or was currently using cocaine.

- She had, I'm sure of that.
- Are there any other potential

explanations for the presence
of benzoylecgonine?

- Not at those levels.

- Here is a sample
that we submitted

independently to ClearDawn.

Can you analyze those?

- Saliva sample.

Benzoylecgonine and ecgonine are

the most abundant metabolites.

And there's also a strong
presence of methylecgonidine,

which indicates
smoking of cocaine.

- So crack?
- Yes.

There's also pharmacologically
active cocaethylene.

- What does that show?
- Cocaethylene shows alcohol.

- So this person was...

smoking crack
and drinking alcohol?

- According to the numbers.
- You're sure?

- I'm sure.
- OK.

This sample...

was taken from this glass.

We submitted it

to your lab under
our client's name.

But this was the glass

that you used
when you came to our office.

Dr. Stone,

were you drunk and on crack

when you came to our office?

If you weren't
drunk and on crack,

then maybe your testing
method is faulty.

When you tested our client,

is it possible that you were
simply wrong?

- Uh, a- approach, Your Honour?

- Dr. Stone, you've testified

in my court in many cases.

I've sentenced
based on your opinion.

You need to answer the question.

- Did you have a professional
collect the sample?

The only thing this proves is
that you don't understand

the science.
The sample has oxidized,

and any good scientist knows
oxidization will only inflate

levels of any methyl ester.
The results are useless.

They indicate nothing.

- Your Honour...

we request an early adjournment.

- The court is adjourned.
The witness is not excused.

See you all tomorrow.

[tense music]

- How's Billy?
- Night fishing.

Not a good sign.

- I'm sorry I couldn't find you
anything on the doctor.

- I'm not sure there was
anything to find.

- Oh...

Just a little something I saw.

- Thank you.

- You're pregnant
and you never talk about it,

which is super weird,
but I'm excited

because I get to be an aunt.
[Joanna chuckles]

[Luna laughs]
- I couldn't resist.

- Just what the world needs,

another assassin.

That's what our father called
me, what he trained me to be.

- You're not gonna do that.

He really did
a number on us, huh?

- Yeah.

- You know what I can't figure
out about Dr. Stone?

- Hmm. How he could
be such a dick?

- Convincing those boys
at Legacy Pines to run away

from their parents...

creating a test
to steal kids. Why?

- He wanted to play God.
- Why does someone

wanna play God?
- Control.

- And someone
who desires control

usually had it taken away, an
event that left them helpless.

- Childhood trauma,
the gift that keeps on giving.

- What'd you just say?

- The gift that keeps on--
- No. Childhood trauma.

We researched Solomon, but we
didn't go far enough back.

- We need to research
Solomon the child.

- He is on a mission to destroy
families. We have to find

a way to show it. We stay up
until we figure it out.

- Uh, no. You're sleeping for
two now and you barely sleep

enough for one as it is.
- I'm not tired. I'm fine.

- I got this. OK?

- OK. Fine.

Luna?

Thank you.

[poignant music]

- Luna?
- She was already gone

when I woke up.
- Ms. Chang?

Your witness?

- Ahem!

Dr. Stone, when you
took over at ClearDawn,

do you know how many
apprehensions there were a month

in Millwood?
- I wouldn't have a clue.

I just conducted tests.
- During the decade

you've been at ClearDawn,
there have been twice as many

positive tests and twice
as many removals.

- If you say so.
- Did you get better at it?

Catching drug users?
- We started using

a more thorough test.
- Thorough?

- People were slipping
through the cracks.

- Your test has an objective
and a subjective part.

You get the data
and you interpret it.

You draw conclusions

from observations.
So is there really ever

a sure?
- Experience makes me sure.
Twenty-five years.

- So it is just your opinion.
- An expert opinion.

[door opens]

- Is it possible
that you see

what you want to see?
- No.

- We all have our biases.
- I'm a scientist.

- But you must have an opinion
about parents. We all
have parents.

We all have opinions.
- Opinion doesn't enter into it.

- Who was Heather?
- Objection. Ms. Chang
is fishing.

- I wouldn't bring it up
if it wasn't important.

Who was Heather?

- Heather?

- Heather Stafford.

- She was my sister.

- What happened to her?
- She died when we were young.

- I'm sorry. That must
have been traumatic.
- Do you have

any relevant questions?
- Childhood trauma has a way
of just sticking with us.

- Hm. Uh, that's not
my area of expertise,

and that wasn't a question.
- Your Honour,

we're off in the weeds here.

- Ask a question, Ms. Chang,
and make sure

you're going somewhere.
- How did Heather die?

- In a house fire.

- I'd like to enter
into evidence

a newspaper article
from December

1973.

You were four.

Were you in the house

when the firewas set?

- I'm sorry?
- Were you in the house

when the fire was set?
- Uh, yes.

- But you got out.
- I was in the front bedroom.

- And where was your sister?
- She was upstairs.

- You tried to save her?
- She got trapped.

I did. I was too small.

- I'm sorry.

How did the fire start?
- Your Honour, relevance?

- Ms. Chang?
[sighing]

- Things that happen
in our past, they...

inform our decisions,
shape our biases.

We're all just broken
little children.

- The witness will answer
the question.

- How was the fire set?

Dr. Stone, how was
the fire set?

It was a cigarette.

When you look at
those test results,

you just see
what you want to see.

- No.
- Your mother's cigarette.

- My test is universally
admired.

- Her cigarette set
the house on fire.

She was drunk. Your sister died.
- I've won awards.

- You're just like everybody
else. You made a mistake.
- I don't make mistakes!

- You see what you need to see.
- No, it's science!
- No,

it is a four-year-old's soul.
- No, she had benzoylecgonine
in her sample!

- You were too small to save
your sister and you're still
trying to save her.

- Benzoylecgonine is the primary
metabolite in cocaine!

- You're just trying
to protect the children.
- Someone's gotta protect them!

- Why?
- Because!
- Why, Dr. Stone?

- Because some people
don't deserve to be parents!

- Judges and courts
are not infallible.

We make mistakes.
Unlike ClearDawn's,

ours were not intentional.
I am sorry.

We have an agreed-upon
cash settlement

between ClearDawn Labs
and Mushkode Chartrand,

the terms of which
shall remain confidential.

I am ordering
a judicial inquiry

into the testing
at ClearDawn Labs

and into
the practices

of Millwood
Family Services,

and I hereby vacate
the 57 custody orders

affected by ClearDawn's
shameful actions.

Ms. Chartrand,

go get your kids.

- You are such a liar.

- OK, it's kind of bad.
- Yeah.

[laughing]

- Mom!
- Mom!

- My girls!
- Hi! I missed you so much!

- I missed you both
so much!

[soft music]

- I'm taking dinner to Kodie.

The kids are home.
- Yeah, I just heard.

Me and Billy and Joanna
at the Boot.

- Well, maybe I'll meet you
later, if that's OK.

- Why wouldn't that be OK?

- I need you to know
why I had an affair.

- It's none of my business.
- Derek ignored me, OK?

He moved past me like
I wasn't even there,

and now you are pissed off
and you are ignoring me

and I cannot handle you
pretending that I don't exist!

- I'm not mad at you.

- Well, you're pissed off
about something!

- I'm just...

[sighing]

I'm pissed that Sam Mercer
is gonna walk free.

- Then why are you
taking it out on me?
- I don't know!

- Well, don't, then!

- I love you.

- I love you too.

- I'll see you at the Boot.

- OK.

- Taylor?
- A couple of beers

and one sparkling water.

- I'm fine with sparkling water.
- Well done.

Kodie's kids are back home,

and soon, all Millwood kids.

- Owen, I'm sorry about Mercer.

- What are you gonna do
about Mayor Shepherd?

- Well, she's my boss
and gave me a job, so...

I don't know.
- Hey.

- Hey. I know
you had to make that deal

with Sam Mercer.
- Yeah, plea deals
are never easy.

- That deal only covers
past crimes, though, right?

- If he commits
another, he's mine.
- I told him I had evidence

on crimes committed
by Chief Beckbie.

He offered to buy it from me.
He really hates you.

- Well, that's enough.

- It's his word
against Taylor's.

Well, this day just keeps
getting better. Let's dance.

- I was really
enjoying sitting.

- Huh!

You just couldn't
let it go.

- Guess not. I figured that...

bad people getting away
with bad stuff--

that doesn't have to be
how the world works.

- You ever thought of applying
to police college?

You're certainly smart.
And relentless.

- I stole half a million dollars
from my father.

- Well...

Don't do that kind
of thing again.

- ♪ Only rusty flats

♪ A chain-link fence

♪ Pressing into your hands

♪ We'll get you up

- I know about the money.

For your brother.

You don't have
to hide that from me.

- Copy that.

- ♪ That's what I wanna do

- You know, adding a hedge fund
to our roster of clients
isn't the worst idea.

- You ran away from that life.
- Corporate law

wasn't the problem.
The corporate lawyer was.

- Fair enough.

Are you ever gonna tell me
about you and Kodie?

- She was...

just a good friend
at a difficult time.

You never forget
people like that.

- No. You never do.

Oh, I see him.

- You need to deal
with him.

- I don't think I do.

What I need to do
is not become him.

- Billy, what if there's
a little David Hanley
growing inside me?

- It's not possible.

You won't let that happen.

- ♪ I wanna dance with you

♪ That's what I wanna do

♪ I wanna dance with you

♪ I wanna see your body move
I wanna dance with you ♪

- I want a rematch.

- Mayor Shepherd,
how was your round?

- Ugh, terrible. And I was
playing with the church
committee, so I couldn't cheat.

- Alison?

- I'll meet you guys inside.
We'll have some lunch.

- I'm grateful for the
opportunity you gave me

and the confidence
you've shown in me.
- Well, you've earned it.

- But it's about your financial
ties with ClearDawn Labs.

- I keep telling you,

it's a simple
misunderstanding.

Frankly, this feels
like a witch hunt.

- I hope there's
an easy explanation,

because I'm growing tired
of being disappointed

in people.
- I've done nothing wrong.

- And I worry that my personal
admiration for you is...

clouding my judgment.

- I trust you. You're gonna
make the right call.

- That's why I forwarded
all my material

to the RCMP.
- Owen...

- I'm sorry, Mayor Shepherd.
- Owen.

I'm sure we can work this out.

Owen!

- Luna!

How'd it go?

- The judge ruled in our favour.
- You won!

- It's just small claims court.
- Good job.

- Nice work, rookie.
Undefeated.

- Hey, I have that call on
the teacher class action in two
minutes, do you want to sit in?

- No, you take it.
- How are you two doing?

- We're good.

You're coming out any day now,

and...

I want to apologise in advance

if I screw you up.

It won't be intentional, and...

intention matters.

No one gets out of childhood

without some kind of trauma,

and that kind of damage,

it... makes people put up walls.

Make bad choices. Do bad things.

But...

when I screw you up,

there is a possibility for you
to come back from it.

But you can't do it alone.

If you wanna heal,

seek out people.

Find safe harbour.

And if you're hurt

by people who love you,

you have to be open
to being loved again.

Find...

just a small handful of friends

who you like
and you trust and...

...and if you're really lucky...

...find someone who gets you

and loves you,

and take shelter in them.

And provide them
with shelter, because...

there's a pretty good chance
they're damaged too.

You're gonna be OK.

We'll be OK.

We'll figure this out together.

I'm a quick study.

You can be...

anything you wanna be
in this life.

Well,

any kind of lawyer you wanna be.

- Hey, I was reading
about the fontanelle,

you know, that soft pit
on the top of a baby's head.
- Do I wanna hear this?

- Apparently, a baby's skull
is made up of five bones

held together by these
fibrous sutures,

which helps them move
through the birth canal.

- Helpful, because Crawford
heads are very large.

- But then it also allows
for brain growth.

- Brain growth is good.

- Yeah, the bones of the skull
don't fuse together

for, like, twelve months.
- Hm!

I bet our kid will do it faster.
