- Mm hmm.
- Still got it.

Oh yes you do.

Oh God,
looks like someone's house is on fire.

Honey, that's our house!

Marj, Marj, stay in the car!

Stewy! Stay back, Stewy!

My name is Stewy Brooks,
my house is on fire!

1552 Johnson Road, hurry!

Stewy, stay back!

Our house, our house!

Oh my god.

Come on.

That's enough!

Charlie!

Over here on the side.

Right here!

Honey, get away from there,

get away from there!

I know that may be what you think,

but it's not your grandmother's land.

Never was and never will be.

My grandma said you and your husband

- gave it to her.
- As a place to keep her trailer!

So she'd have a home!

Hey.

- Is everything okay?
- Everything's fine.

This young man's just
got the wrong idea.

Listen, I don't want a fight.

Grandma paid the taxes,

she took care of the maintenance.

And the bank allowed her

to take a mortgage out on the property.

I'm telling you right now,

if I see your guys tearing up this land,

- I'll be calling the police.
- Okay, uh,

you need to go.

Thank you.

You try to do good.

Most of you at this office

are used to a relative
amount of freedom.

You swap case files,

you start working on client files

before the vetting process is complete.

You make ethical judgments,

that compromise this office.

No more.

I shouldn't have to tell
you how to conduct yourself

in a professional manner,

but just so there's
no misunderstanding,

if you act in a manner
that puts yourself,

or this office into disrepute,

you will no longer work in this office.

Period.

It shook me.

Seeing all that flame,

and smoke.

It felt like my world
was coming to an end.

Mr. Brooks, in your statement,

you said that you saw a
white woman in a red hoodie

racing from the fire.

Do you see that woman
in this courtroom?

Mhmm.

She's right over there.

Let the record show that Mr. Brooks

pointed to the defendant.

No further questions, Your Honour.

Ms. Diggs?

Has Wingrove Insurance
paid out your claim?

Objection. Relevance?

I'm getting there, Your Honour.

Let's make it a short road, Ms. Diggs.

Answer the question.

No, they have not.

Have they asked if you set the fire?

No.

Have they asked
if you had the opportunity

to start the fire?

Isn't it true that your insurance claim

hasn't been paid out because

Wingrove Insurance is considering that

YOU may have set your home on fire

- for the payout.
- So hold up,

this white girl sets my home on fire,

and I'm the one being
treated like a criminal?

What happened to my family,
my community,

that there is a hate crime.

You're the hate crime.

Settle your client, Ms. Diggs.

Yes, Your Honour.

Mr. Brooks, did you see

my client holding a molotov cocktail?

No...

But the police found her hoodie

with traces of gasoline.

Objection, Your Honour. Non-responsive.

I'll ignore it.

In fact,
all you saw was a woman on a bike

in the aftermath of the fire,
isn't that correct sir?

I know it was her.

You do?

How do these three women
differ from who you saw?

Objection!

Ms. Diggs, I did not

allow these stunts in family court,

and I will not allow them here.

Are you done with the witness?

Yes, Your Honour.

At her last shelter,

the boyfriend shows up,

sends her to the hospital

with a split lip and a concussion.

And that wasn't
enough to get his bail revoked?

That's how we got the no contact order!

This guy is a capital C creep.

Hey!

Hey!

Hi Iris, Pam.

Um, Colleen, I just wanted to follow up

on the meeting from this morning.

So, is that friends and family

jump the queue thing still a thing?

Never mind.

How's your plate?

I was just telling Pam,

I'm trying to find a shelter for one

of my domestic violence
clients and her kid.

I'm waiting for a callback
from the MacAdam House.

You should call Ona Reeves.

I think she ran the MacAdam House

before she moved to Halifax.

Thanks! I totally forgot that.

Happy to help.

From what we've been able to determine,

the fires were caused by a
homemade molotov cocktail.

Did you find any common elements

in the three fires?

Each of the burns was caused

by the same accelerant,

same ignition source,

a similar level of damage.

So what you're saying, Inspector,

is that there's a
pattern to these fires.

It would seem so.

Thank you.

A pattern?

But, would this pattern
suggest arson or mischief,

considering the amount
of damage that was done?

I can't testify

to what was in the
head of the fire starter.

The shingles on the houses

were made from fire resistant asphalt.

Isn't it possible that
whoever set the fires

was aware of that?

It's possible.

Which would
mean it's possible the assailant

did not intend for the homes
to be seriously damaged,

as the molotov cocktails

were thrown against the houses

and not through the windows.

You're asking me to speak

to state of mind.

Once again, I can't answer that.

We were just doing a favour

for someone who'd fallen on hard times.

Clara had dedicated most of her life

to our church community.

It wasn't right that
she ended up homeless.

So we let her put up
a trailer on our land.

It wasn't our intention
to give the land to her.

Isn't that right, Austin?

She was there for a long time though.

I can see where the confusion comes...

Can you?

I can't.

Well, Clara had dementia
in those final years.

Who knows what happened?

Exactly.

Listen, let me dig into this a little,

look up the laws on squatter's rights,

adverse possession,

and, I'll get back to ya.

Thank you so much, Wendy.

Iris.

Hey!

Were you looking for me or
is this a happy accident?

You know I don't
believe in no accidents.

Girl at your office said
I might catch you here.

What do you need?

I've, uh, got a little situation

with one of the kids at school.

More the parents than the kid,

and they're intent on making a fuss.

They're trying to get me fired.

What did you do?

What did I do?

Hm, lord.

The kid can't sing and
they don't wanna hear it.

That's what happened.

- Why are you blaming me?
- I'm not, Mom.

Anyway, I need to know,

if I can have a quick talk

with one of the lawyers at
your office about my rights.

Something that won't
cost me an arm and a leg.

I can't.

My boss just said we
can't do that anymore.

Forget it.

You're always so deeply disappointing.

I don't even know why
I bother with you.

Mrs. Ewing is taking Lorazepam,

which her family doctor prescribed.

I would say she's
suffering from depression.

My understanding is that she has been

referred to a psychiatrist, but...

With the wait times here
she still hasn't seen one.

Doctor,
can you take us through the typical

psychological markers of an arsonist?

Fire-starting,

especially with female fire-starters,

can be the manifestation
of an underlying

psychiatric condition.

They often feel more isolated,

or lack connection to
their environment.

Doctor, in your expert opinion,

is it possible that Ms. Ewing's
psychiatric illness

would manifest in this
type of behaviour?

Fire-starting, specifically.

Well it's hard to say

without knowing Mrs. Ewing's history.

Typically,

fire-setting manifests as
a pattern of behaviour,

not a one off.

Pattern.

Doctor,
you're aware that the defendant's

husband and child died in a fire,

along with her in-laws,

Freddie and Gladys Ewing last year.

No, I was not.

Mrs. Ewing was not very forthcoming.

- Relevance, Your Honour.
- I'm allowing.

Given your testimony about patterns,

and fire starting,

is it possible the defendant
could have been the one

that started the fires that resulted

in the deaths of her in-laws,

husband and child?

Objection, Your Honour!

- That is a lie!
- Settle.

I'd never hurt my family,
they were all I had.

Settle!

Why are you lying?

Why?

Mr. Mueller,
are you charging Mrs. Ewing

in connection with the deaths
of her husband and child?

Will she be taken into
custody for the crime?

Will the investigation into the fire

that killed Dani Ewing's
family be reopened?

You know that she didn't set the fire

that killed her family!

Come on, Avery, be fair!

Like you?

- Don't go there.
- Marcie, what am I supposed to do

just pretend that we didn't almost...

Yeah, since I'm friends with,

and work with the woman
that you were dating.

Yeah, let's pretend this didn't happen.

Fine then, let's just
keep it professional.

Yeah.

Keeping it professional.

And no more arguing
baseless theories either.

I never said anything about that.

My grandma, she used to play piano,

back in the day,

when session musicians
didn't make much.

She taught me how to play guitar.

She couldn't read
a speck of music, but...

That, was her gift.

Listen.

I think Mr. and Mrs. Diggs

may have the wrong idea

of what I'm about.

I'm trying to create a place

where kids can pick up an instrument,

learn to read music.

My grandma would love that.

No it sounds neat.

But it can't be on my client's land.

I already spoke with my lawyer

and she said my adverse
possession claim is solid.

I know the Diggs'
don't like that but...

Son, you're trying to take something

that doesn't belong to you.

Not your son.

And I'm not taking anything.

They gave it away.

They were trying to do a good deed.

Now you're coming in,

and you're not even
offering to pay them

for the use of the land.

Mr. Thompson,

do you know what I
was doing for a living,

before I got here?

I was washing dishes in
the kitchen at the Sofitel.

Everything I'm trying to do here

has been on a wing and a prayer.

I get the land rezoned as mixed use,

I can apply for grants

and try to get this thing on its feet.

What if I told you,

that your adverse possession claim

was weak?

Well I'd say let the courts decide.

To the best of
your knowledge and belief,

so help you God.

Yes.

Ms. Ewing,

you and your cousin Tony,
you were close?

He was like a brother.

So his death must
have hit you pretty hard.

Hard just doesn't get it.

Tony, Uncle Freddie, Aunt Gladys,

that precious little boy.

It's something I still
can't get my head around.

And Tony's wife, Dani,

I assume you two were close?

Her?

That girl ain't close with no one.

Thought she was too good for Preston.

What do you mean by "too good"?

Tony was big, on his community.

He spent time coaching
at the rec centre,

never missed a Sunday at church.

She, she never came.

Only time she'd show up is
to give him a hard time.

Always fightin' with
him about nonsense.

- That is not true.
- That's messed up.

I hated how Dani was always on him.

What do you mean by being "on him"

about hanging out in Preston?

'Cause she's a racist.

Objection, Your Honour.

Sustained.

She married a black man,

but didn't realize she was marrying

- a "black" man.
- Settle.

He wouldn't give up
his community for the likes of her,

- and she hated it.
- Settle!

- She hated all of us for it.
- Leave her alone.

Quiet in the courtroom.

Take control of your witness,
Mr. Mueller.

No further questions, Your Honour.

Ms. Diggs?

Even though Tony,

my client's husband, was

"like a brother" to you,

you didn't attend his wedding, did you?

No, I did not.

And why is that?

I was feeling sick that day.

Isn't it true that you didn't attend

your cousin's wedding

because, you didn't like the fact

that he was marrying a white woman?

Like I said,

I was feeling sick that day.

Did you ever refer to Dani as

"Becky with the good hair?"

I don't recall.

What about "pale face"?

Well, she is pale.

Objection, Your Honour, relevance.

Your Honour, Ms. Ewing,

was called as a Crown witness

to support this theory that

my client has a grudge

against the people of North Preston.

That she's a racist.

I think it's pretty
clear who the racist is.

Black people can't be racist.

- That's right.
- Yeah!

Let's move on.

By the way, Mr. Mueller,

when you're going to call a witness,

prepare them for the courtroom.

Guess I should've
expected you to go there.

You accused my client of killing

her child and husband.

Like you said, I'm just trying my case.

All right, let's do two years
plus three years probation,

call it a day.

Ah, you were just in there
reaching for a motive,

your ID is garbage,

and you have nothing concrete

to tie Dani to the fire.

You're lucky I didn't try to convince

Judge Lawrence that the cousin did it.

Okay Marcie, you're
forgetting we have her bike,

the accelerant that she used

to start the fire at her house.

Yeah, commercially available accelerant

that most people use.

Despite what you even think,
we have a rock solid ID.

If your rock is talc.

What? He saw a white woman on a bike?

So Marcie Diggs got jokes now, huh?

Look, the press has been
eating this case up.

And you already know Judge Lawrence

is gonna wanna be on the
right side of this one.

Yeah, that's what I'm hoping.

Then talk to your client.

Of course.

Marcie Diggs.

Mom, just think,

maybe you could do some

teaching at this music school.

Well I can tell you the last thing

I'm thinking about is moving out here.

But I get it, it's yours.

Who's this guy to just
come try to take it away?

Thank you, Alexa.

Hey.

- Hey.
- So,

everyone's in the know.

No point in keeping it a secret.

So, Marcie,
your sisters have made it clear

they're not interested
in that piece of land.

How about you?

Worth fighting over?

You can't miss what
you didn't know you had.

What the hell does that mean?

Mom...

I always thought the land
belonged to Miss Clara.

I didn't know that you and Dad

were just giving her a place to stay.

Honestly,

I think the idea of a group home

where at risk kids can
get a music education

is-is a great idea.

I never said it was a bad idea.

Well couldn't she just rent it out

to him or something, Marce?

Mom?

He's a really smart young man, Mom.

You should talk to him.

We've talked.

Not really, Vel.

- Emily and I...
- Oh, you and Emily?

Yeah, Mom.

Timmy, he just want to
do things the right way.

We need to be supporting
young men like him.

He's lovely,

but I'm not gonna just let some kid

come and take what
doesn't belong to him,

no matter how well intentioned he is.

But it's not just your decision, Velma.

We...

We do this together.

- Where's Sonia?
- There's a restraining order.

You're not supposed to be here.

The fact that I'm here,

should tell ya I don't give two damns,

about any restraining order.

You need to get your hand off me.

You're getting in the way,

of me putting my family back together.

- Just calm down.
- Bitch, look!

I don't want any trouble,

just tell me where
Sonia's taken my kid!

Who's the bitch now, huh?!

Who's the bitch now?

Stop, Iris, Iris!

It's okay, Iris.

You wanna tell me what
that was all about?

He assaulted me,

and I defended myself.

Okay, but...

You didn't seem like
you were in control.

You're a psychiatrist now?

Why are you here anyway?

Left my keys for my cabin in my desk.

Are you sure you're okay?

I'm good.

I'm good.

Dani!

Hey, Marcie!

What's going on here, Dani?

I've been going from room to room.

I just need to know that
the wiring is up to code.

To feel safe.

I know a guy,

he's a contractor.

He's a good guy.

I can get him to take
a look at this for you.

Sure.

I've still got the upstairs
and the living room to do.

I'm here to discuss

a plea offer I received.

It's two years in custody...

Stewy Brooks and those people,

took away my family.

They're not gonna take away my freedom.

- Dani...
- Ask him!

He and those Ratepayers,

were supposed to make sure,
that everyone who needed it,

got home improvement grants.

Tony's parents had applied three times.

Three times,

and each time,

the Ratepayers'
Association denied them.

All of Stewy's friends and relatives

got their upgrade though.

My husband and child are dead,

because of those people.

And they're trying to blame me for this

because they know I'm not gonna stop

until they've been exposed.

It's all there.

They're trying to silence me

by blaming me for
something I didn't do.

You won't let them though,
will you, Marcie?

How can we settle this business

with Clara's grandson, Reggie?

I looked into the kid's

adverse rights claim,

it might not work.

However...

It is possible that he could argue

that there was a contract
between you and Austin

and the late Mrs. Horne

where you gave the land to her.

We never "gave" anything!

Well listen,
young Timothy has done his homework.

The good news is,

that the property is only zoned for

single family residential use.

He'd have to apply for a variance,
so...

- We'll see.
- "We'll see"

is not a plan, Reggie.

Don't worry, Velma.

Give me the day,
and-and I'll take care of it.

Ms. Diggs?

Mr. Lincoln.

Marcie.

I am familiar with these programs.

- That's why I called you.
- Hm.

A lot of these programs
were set up in the '80s

to address racial bias in the system.

Ended up just being hush money,

if you know what I mean.

So-called leaders of the
community taking money

meant for their struggling
brothers and sisters,

and lining their pockets.

Disgrace.

People died.

Ain't nothin' new for us there.

And so no one's accountable?

Nah, that's garbage.

What about this "Charles Ryan"?

His name's all over these documents.

If you could draw a cartoon of apathy,

it would be Charles Ryan's face.

You know what apathetic people

care about more than anything?

Themselves.

Think you'd be interested
in teaching music?

I'll think about it.

Hey man, did we have something set?

No no, I just wanted
to talk to you and, uh, Velma.

I'll give you some space.

All right.

I think I may have found a way

to solve your issue with Mr. Horne.

I found three or four errors

in Clara Horne's application

for adverse possession.

Now the one big error,

that we can rest our head on

is that she missed

the 20 year requirement
by three months.

The application should
never have been processed.

So based on that,

I drafted a motion to have
the land conveyance voided.

Who asked you to do this?

Did she ask you to do this?

Hi, Reggie.

Hi, Velma, I was just telling...

Did you ask Reggie
to put this paperwork together?

I asked him to look
into our options, yes.

But we agreed not to move forward

with legal proceedings without us

being on the same page.

Austin, you're lettin'
that boy turn your head.

You need to think of the family.

You represent both of us, right?

I don't want this.

Austin.

I've said all I'm gonna
say about it, Velma.

I'm just trying to make sense of this.

So this application

was submitted on behalf
of 826 Simmonds Road, but,

see, this document

shows that the application
was filed by her in-laws,

with the original address crossed out

and then replaced with
845 Simmonds Road.

I'm not gonna lie, that happened.

Lots of illiteracy in the community,

people being given the
wrong street number

when the city first made assignments.

We used the Ratepayers' Association

as a go-between the
department and the community.

So, yeah.

I'm sure mistakes were made.

Mr. Ryan, once or twice is a mistake.

17 times?

The Fire Marshall's report says,

that it was faulty wiring

that caused the fire

that killed my client's
husband and child.

The money intended for
upgrading her in-law's home

went into the pockets of
the Ratepayers' Executives.

They then took that money
and upgraded their own homes,

and the homes of their
friends and their family.

- Listen, we did...
- Everything right?

Did you?

Not really.

What do you want?

Based on what I've just shown you,

one would argue,

well, I would argue

that you are just as guilty,

as the Ratepayers' Executive

for what happened to
my client's family.

Now I'm giving you the opportunity

to decide.

Do you wanna be the
whistleblower in this story?

Or the co-accused?

Dumb move, baby. I'm sorry.

What was I supposed to do?

Let him beat on me?

I'm not saying that.

But you had time to call 911, right?

Yes, but the...

You let some asshat
get under your skin.

You think this is the last time

someone's gonna try and step to you?

Baby, I don't know what's going on,

but it's obvious,

this man,

triggered you.

Whatever stuff you've got to deal with,

deal with it.

Otherwise, your career
as a social worker

is gonna be over before it begins.

Damn.

Go home, Marcie.

What's in the bag?

- What's in the bag, Dani?
- I am done waiting, Marcie!

Just stay out of this!

You said you didn't do this.

Listen...

I read the files that you gave me.

I talked to the guy at housing,

the guy that was the
official on the case?

People are going to know,

that you were right.

That what happened to
Tony and Devin was wrong.

It wasn't wrong, Marcie.

Stewy Brooks and all his pals

on the Ratepayer Executive

killed them!

They killed my family.

- And they need to pay.
- And they will.

But the right way, not like this.

No, just like this.

Dani, you're in trouble, Dani.

Look...

If we change your plea,

I can get you the help that you need.

We can get you well.

And what about my justice?

You go after these people like this,

there's no coming back.

All of this grief and anger

that you are holding onto,

it's scorched earth.

Dani, please.

How do I move
this motion business forward?

I have something to show you.

You're not gonna like it but...

Austin wrote a letter in support of

Timothy's Horne's rezoning application.

If you go to the Registry of Deeds,

the original Crown Grant, 1794.

That plot of grass,

it's been in my family since 1794.

That's more than 200 years, Reggie.

200 years,

of my blood,

putting in their effort
and sweat into that soil.

I know it may be just an
abandoned field of grass

to Austin and my girls,

but the blood of my ancestors

runs through that ground.

I can't just let someone take it.

I can't.

Velma.

Yeah, Gil, it's Reggie.

Well you're the one that said
if I ever needed anything,

well now I need something.

There's a young man
named Timothy Horne,

with a rezoning
application in your office.

Yeah, he wants to change it from, uh,

residential to mixed use.

No, no, Gil.

I want you to reject the application.

Mr. Brooks, thank you for coming back

and answering a few more questions.

I'd just like to clarify a few things.

I'd like this entered as Exhibit D35.

Thank you.

Mr. Brooks,

this is a copy of a
tax assessment letter

for your home on Simmonds Road.

Yes.

According to the document,

what is the value of your property?

It says, uh, $90,000.

How much money are you due
from the insurance company?

I don't have that information with me.

I would have to, uh,

- to look it up.
- Oh, let me help you out.

In the event of a fire,

Wingrove Insurance
will pay you $400,000

to buy a new home or
rebuild your existing home.

That's more than four
times the current value.

Objection, Your Honour. Relevance?

Your Honour,
Mr. Mueller floated a narrative

that my client, Dani Ewing,

set Mr. Brooks' and his
neighbours' homes on fire

because she has a racist vendetta

against the community of North Preston.

I'd like an opportunity
to challenge this.

Continue, Ms. Diggs.

Isn't it true that you
recently purchased

a condo in Halifax for $300,000,

and have no intentions
of rebuilding your home?

I don't know where you're
getting your gossip from but,

but it's not true at all.

No?

I have a deed,

registered to a numbered company,

that you are the sole shareholder of.

Would you like to change
your answer, sir?

I don't understand what's going on.

I'm the victim here, remember?

I'm a good man!

Since you brought it up.

Weren't you in charge

of a housing improvement program

for the people of Preston?

Yes.

Along with the other members
of the Ratepayers' Executive.

We did some good work out there.

There's that word again.

Objection, Your Honour.
Where is this going?

Where is this going, Ms. Diggs?

If I could just ask the court
for a moment's indulgence?

In conducting all of this

"good work", that you mentioned,

did you ever have cause

to assess an application,

by the defendant's in-laws,

Freddie and Gladys Ewing?

Mr. Brooks,

if you need a reminder I do
have a copy of the application.

I remember.

Do you remember if the
application was approved?

I don't think we ever heard back.

No, because,

you used the details
of their application,

the fact that the wiring in the house

was knob and tube,

the roofing needed repairing,

and the fusebox needed upgrading

to obtain funding,

for your first cousin,

to build an addition on their home.

No, no, that is a lie.

Your first cousin lives
at 845 Simmonds Road?

This is a photo of that home.

However,

this is the home that you used,

to represent 845 Simmonds Road,

when you applied for the improvements

with the Department of Housing.

826 Simmonds Road,

the home that belonged to
Freddie and Gladys Ewing

who died in a house fire

along with their son

and their grandson.

Can you explain this discrepancy?

There was a lot of paperwork.

Things got misfiled.

Isn't it true that you,

and your fellow executive members

of the Ratepayers' Association,

were funnelling money to your friends,

and your family through this program,

that was actually set up

for poor people in the community.

Objection, Your Honour.

I feel Ms. Diggs is taking
us way off course here.

Ms. Diggs, regarding
the matter before me,

I must agree with Mr. Mueller.

- But, Your Honour, I...
- I'm not done.

Mr. Mueller, I expect that
you'll be providing a transcript

of Mr. Brooks's testimony to the RCMP,

so that they can investigate

the very serious allegations made

against Mr. Brooks here today.

Of course, Your Honour.

I have no further questions.

You're excused, Mr. Brooks.

Let's adjourn until two p.m.

Counsel, my chambers.

All rise!

Mr. Nef is
saying your employee assaulted him.

And he wants to press charges.

She needs to apologize to me.

I'm sorry but I'm having a hard time

with this allegation.

She nearly broke my ribs!

Honestly, I'm extremely embarrassed.

You should be.

Apologize,

and tell me where
Sonia's taken my child.

Michael.

Noel, how do you always
end up with these guys?

Mr. Nef,

let me be clear about
what's going on here.

Violating a restraining order,

uttering threats,

assault?

Do something!

I-I'm the victim here,

look at what she did to me!

Tape tells a different tale,
doesn't it?

Thank you, officers.

Mr. Nef, you're under arrest.

You have the right to obtain
and instruct counsel...

Thank you, Colleen.

You're too smart to act dumb.

I don't know why you did what you did,

but it never happens again,
do you understand?

That was your free pass.

Is there a fair deal we can come to?

It needs to meet public interest

that any risk involving
Ms. Ewing is under control.

Well.

My client's ready to take

full responsibility for her actions.

Three years probation.

With access to a
court appointed psychiatrist?

I think we have a deal.

So.

How about a drink to celebrate?

Maybe another time.

So, this is what it feels like

to be on Marcie Diggs's good side.

I just wanted to thank you.

Yes, you set a white lady free

and sent a black man to jail,

and I'm not even mad at you.

You know it just occurred to me

that I know nothing about you,

besides your politics, that is.

You gonna act like
you never creeped me?

Maybe just a little.

You know, this looks really cozy.

- Avery?
- Hey, man.

Ah, can I have a word with you, Marcie?

I'll just be one second.

Marcie, are you trying to punish me?

Percy Lincoln, really?

What are you taking about?

I'm single, you're single.

It's our turn, Marcie, it's my turn!

And you,

you got this guy
that's sitting in my seat.

That's my seat, Marcie.

You need to stop.

Marcie, it's just...

Get off me.

You need to go home,

and sober up!

And I will pretend

that this never happened

so that I can respect my
friend in the morning.

I never thought it was so easy

to fill your days when
you're not working.

I never realized how much
I missed gaspereau fishing.

Gaspereau?

I hope you brought me a couple.

You almost had company.

Yeah, Iris went all
Cleopatra Jones on some client.

Oh, I was there.

You did not wanna see that.

Anyways,

I always keep a couple of spare

fishing rods around for my friends.

Ting-ting.

Hey!

Hey, hey.

Give me your keys.

I'm driving you home.

Hi Mom.

Double whiskey rocks, please.

You got it, Iris.

Found a lawyer yet or
is everything settled?

All these parents care
about is the grade.

Change the C to a B,

you're teacher of the year again.

Girl, what are you doing?

I am out for a drink with friends.

Not alone.

Here we go.

Come on.

Tell your mom how she's
supposed to live.

Yeah, I'm not doing this with you.

What'd I tell you about the sass?

Let go of me, Mom.

Or what?

You gonna do something?

Mhm.

Useless.

I don't understand, Mom.

Why are you always so mean to me?

Did I do something wrong?

You want me to tell
you how smart ya are?

How talented? How pretty?

Like they used to do me.

So when you realize there are people

smarter, more talented, prettier,

you're left with nothin' to hold onto?

Not my girl.

My daughter is gonna know,

don't take nothin' for granted.

You're gonna have to
fight for everything.

You might hate me,

but you ain't never
gonna end up like me.

Another, please.

Can you go back to your
friends and leave me in peace?

Keep it together, okay?

Ma'am, licence and registration.

Just one second here.

This is my licence and,

registration is here.

I'm driving my friend's car.

I'm driving him home 'cause
he had too much to drink.

And how about you?

Have you consumed any
alcohol this evening?

Um, not really.

Not a lot.

Ma'am, can you step out of the car?

Where are you going?

Home?

Just get in the car.

Marcie Diggs.
