This program contains mature subject matter, coarse language, and violence.

Viewer discretion is advised.

Previously on Allegiance. Let's just grab a bite tonight.

I can't. I've got some stuff to wrap up here.

Just forget it.

Nate. How'd you find out? After you mentioned that domestic case, how the

got away with murdering that woman. I knew there was more to it.

Oliver Campbell conspired to frame my father for treason a year ago. He'll be

facing charges of breach of trust, corruption, and obstruction of justice

result of the Stephen Rashi case. This time we're nailing his ass to the wall.

Subject is missing and there are signs of flight. Oliver Campbell is now a

fugitive of the law.

Money? Take anything. Take whatever you want.

Remember me?

Please. Well, I remember you.

We've had officers stationed at bus depots, train stations.

Passport hasn't flagged at airports or border crossings. His phone's been off

all night. He's completely off grid. He knew that we were coming.

What I'm about to say stays in this room.

Understood?

We have a mole on this attachment.

More than one, maybe.

Our cops here loyal to Oliver Campbell. They may be feeding him information.

Okay, from now on, not a word about this investigation to anyone.

No radios, no headsets, cell phones only.

We've got a murder.

I'd like to stay on the search.

You got a job to do, so... Hey, you wanted to see me?

We straight?

Yes, sir.

I shared your theory with them.

Yeah, I've got my most trusted officers looking for him now. Good.

I talked to Gabinski. You sure you want to keep him on active duty?

Yeah. Campbell's got inside guys. He might be the only one who can lead us to

one.

That's the only reason you're going to bat for him.

Once we have Campbell in custody, Gabinski will be dealt with properly,

regardless of how you feel.

Okay.

Vince.

That thing Gabinsky mentioned about you and the domestic case.

Is there anything you want to tell me?

Anything you want to know?

I believe you're needed in a murder scene.

Detective.

What are you doing here?

The thief is Greg Tanner.

Neighbor heard something like a gunshot at about 8 p .m. last night, but she was

watching a law and order Toronto, so didn't think much of it.

His assistant found him this morning when he didn't show up for court.

He's a lawyer? He's a judge.

Hey, Sabrina.

I want Campbell to pay for what he did to Vince just as much as you do. I can't

believe that Bolton let him walk. He didn't.

I did.

Bolton wanted to suspend him for breach of trust. I asked him not to.

Sabrina, Campbell was dangling his kid's life in front of him.

What was he supposed to do?

Hey, Vince.

Vince.

Just so we're clear, you and me, we're done.

What does that mean?

Like you said, what was I supposed to do?

You rode with me every day.

Every single day.

And all you had to do was ask.

All you had to do was say, Vince, I need your help, and I would have been there,

but no.

You lied to my face.

I would have told you anything you needed to help your son.

Oh, thanks.

Just stay outside.

Hey, Tennille.

What do we got?

Single gunshot to the forehead.

Entrance wound shows GSR, burns, stippling.

Shot at close range.

Probably dead before he hit the floor.

Nine mil?

Yeah, we found a casing by the fireplace.

Estimated time of death?

Rigor throughout the body, so 8 to 12 hours. I'll know more when I get him

to the lab.

Thanks, Danielle.

Judah got up close and personal.

Like he wanted the judge to know he was about to pull the trigger.

It's not your typical M .O. for a B &E.

So, likely someone he knew.

Or someone he put behind bars.

Hey, Jill, you there?

Always.

What's up?

We need you to look into released inmates sentenced by Judge Greg Tanner,

specifically those with a history of violence or B &E.

Copy. Thanks, Jill.

Any sign of forced entry?

No, nothing. Officers checked every window and door, front and back, a

entry. So someone neither knew the code or hacked the system?

Not hard to do.

We'll get forensics to check for prints.

Any ransacking or anything stolen? It doesn't look like it. There are plenty

expensive things.

Sitting out in the open. One of my officers checked the security system.

It connects to a USB, but it was missing.

Covering the track. Hey, guys.

I got a few hits on potential suspects.

Tyrell Devlin, Anthony Jones, and Abdul Khan.

All sentenced by Judge Tanner.

Devlin and Jones did time for home invasions and assault.

Khan for auto theft, but I put him on the list because he threatened Judge

Tanner during his trial.

As my record, I must be guilty.

You read your case file. You made direct threats against Judge Tanner. I called

him a racist.

No, actually, you called him a racist piece of shit.

And then you threw a pen at his head and told him when you got out, you'd find

him and kick his ass? I was young, terrified of going to prison.

Made a dumb mistake, but I served my time and then some. Meaning?

When I got out, I couldn't get a job.

I couldn't get an apartment.

Ended up living on the streets.

So I went door to door, offering to paint.

Ten yards, six fences, and I built this company to give guys like me a fresh

start. Guys like you?

Ex -cons.

When was the last time you saw Judge Shanner? A trial.

And all the stuff I said?

Nothing compared to what my lawyer said.

You're destroying these kids. I'm going to come for you, sir.

One day, I am coming for you.

Look, I know how that sounds.

Am I proud of that moment? No.

Did I kill him?

No.

Mr. Collins, your case with Abdul Khan isn't the only run -in where you've lost

your temper with Judge Tanner.

We also found your trespassing charge.

His ex -wife said you tried to break in.

I wasn't trying to break in. He pushed the door in my face. I tried to push it

open.

I never wanted to end his life. I just wanted to end his career.

Why? He's a judge.

His oath to the justice system is to remain impartial.

But he's the most biased judge I've ever had the displeasure of facing.

Do you have proof of this?

I've been a lawyer for over 20 years.

I've defended all kinds of people, and I mean all kinds.

But whenever I have a racialized client in front of him, they get long

sentences. All minor offenses.

Auto theft, ten years.

DUI, four years.

Judges have the right to impose whatever sentence they deem appropriate.

Why did you give my other clients community service or house arrest?

Oh, I'll tell you, because they're all white. Big surprise.

And that pissed you off? You're goddamn right it pissed me off!

He never went after anyone who had the means to fight back.

So I went to his house to fight back for those who couldn't.

Why didn't you just file a complaint?

I did.

Several.

The Canadian Judicial Council.

And?

Waste of paper.

Upon reviewing all the information regarding this matter, Council concludes

there is no merit to the complaint and no further measures will be taken.

Mr. Collins, you're a smart guy.

A lawyer. Probably a good one.

I'm sure you'd agree with me that things are not looking too good for you right

now.

You're probably a good detective.

So you can tell when people are being truthful or not.

I spent my whole life fighting for justice, and the truth is, there are two

systems of justice in this country.

One for the rich, and one for the poor and racialized.

Night cleaner vouched for Robert Collins. Saw him working in his office

p .m.

Abdul and his workers also alibied out. They were at one of their kids'

birthdays at Chuck E. Cheese.

Dad filmed the whole thing.

Collins had over 30 racialized clients who were sentenced by Judge Tanner.

25 of them are indigenous.

Which seem about right.

And it's not because they're committing more crimes than others.

I'm sentencing by race.

Collins can't be the only one with a complaint against Tanner.

You were right. There are quite a few complaints from other lawyers against

Judge Tanner.

Hang on.

Scroll up.

There.

Nate Bruckman.

Thanks, buddy.

That's good extra cheese, right?

Keep the change.

Appreciate it. Thanks.

It's not picking up.

It's probably grabbing lunch.

The client Nate was defending against Judge Tanner is Isaac LeClaire. He

14 years in Surrey Pen for a drug charge.

14 years?

That's the max.

He's indigenous. If Robert Collins is right, Judge Tanner may have thrown the

book at him. Here's the complaint Nate filed.

It's a biased approach to testimony, racially motivated sentencing.

He wasn't on our violent offenders list, but he was just released six months

ago. We need to talk to Nate, see if he knows anything about this guy.

Food trucks are just here on the right.

Try them again.

Hey, Isaac.

Good to see you.

What are you doing?

Hey,

you don't have to do this, Isaac. Shut up.

No answer.

BDM team now!

Nate, open your eyes! Nate, stay with me!

Nate, stay with me!

Nate!

Is that the guy's backpack?

The bullet had...

It pierced my lung. It shattered its ribs.

I lost a lot of blood.

I'm going to be in surgery for hours.

I don't know, Zach. I can't just sit around.

Brand new coveralls.

Probably won't know DNA was on the scene.

What's this?

Oh, sure. Haven't gotten here yet.

Pretty dark.

Forensics just confirmed prints from that sketchbook.

All units be on the lookout for Isaac LeClair, 35 -year -old indigenous male.

Suspects wanted for murder and attempted murder. Both cases associated with his

incarceration. He's armed and dangerous. Proceed with extreme caution.

What do we know about LeClair?

He went in when he was just a kid.

22. He was pulled over on a traffic stop. They found a few baggies with

in them. They were labeled with names. He was charged with intent to

They got a search warrant for his house.

He found a grow -up.

That was just a few years before pot was legalized.

Nate was a defense lawyer.

Fresh out of law school.

An experienced lawyer like Robert Collins couldn't win a case in front of

Tanner. Nate didn't stand a chance.

Don't know. He's out and he wants revenge.

Yeah, but he's been out for six months.

Find out. We don't know if he's done or just getting started.

I need Wellman's checks done and everybody involved in this case. Law

bailiffs, investigating officers.

Copy.

Two officers were arrested and declared at the traffic stop. Jack Hill, Thomas

Watton. Hill's retired.

Watton's now a firefighter.

Me and Gabby will take these two. I'll have officers on the others.

How's Nate?

He's still in surgery.

What's on this guy's record?

No priors and no history of violence.

What about his prison file?

He's a model prisoner. First two years, he taught art classes.

Then he started getting in fights.

Moved to a high security when he was in solitary. He looks like a totally

different person.

Yeah, that's prison.

Hey, Jill.

Who's on the visitors list?

Isaac and I met at university.

He was an art student.

So funny.

And kind.

Talented.

We fell in love.

You visited him every week for two years and then just stopped?

The last time I saw him, he just sat there, his mind a million miles away.

And then he stood up.

Told me not to come anymore and walked away.

Why this sudden change?

What happened?

Elizabeth died.

His sister.

She was the whole reason he was growing pot in the first place.

She had leukemia, and it tore him apart. He was in so much pain, and he found a

study that said that marijuana could help cancer patients.

Pauline, when the CFPC raided his home, they found a full grow -up.

He wasn't selling it.

He had bags of joints with people's names on them. Isaac took Elizabeth to

of her chemo appointments.

He met other cancer patients there, people who were in as much pain as she

So he started bringing them pot.

They charged him with intent to distribute.

After Isaac went in, Elizabeth's health fell apart. And it's like the Isaac that

I knew just died too.

And that's when you started getting into fights.

Yeah, he was never a violent person before he went in.

He could find life in anything around him in Turnagin's art.

Mine?

We had a whole life plan.

Now this is all I have of him.

Of us.

Can you tell me about that painting?

Mm -hmm.

Um, when Elizabeth was little, she couldn't say her name.

She called herself Lilibeth.

So from then on, Isaac called her Lily.

It's the 12th anniversary of her death.

That's where I saw Lily in one of these.

Here, yellow Lily.

There.

There's another one.

Zach, am I reading into this or does that look like a gavel to you?

The judge.

I play squash every week, same day, same place.

Not today.

Yep.

I should have told you.

What?

I should have told my wife the truth when I hid my drinking.

I should have told Will I'd be there to actually show up for his game.

And I should have told Cam to go screw himself when he wanted dirt on you. I

should have done a lot of things, Vince.

I didn't.

You're the only person who always had my back.

And I'm sorry.

Hey, come on.

Vince, do we have an update?

Stand by.

Okay. We checked in with Thomas Watt, and he's safe.

We stationed a uniform outside his place.

His wife said he was playing squash this morning, but he never signed in. So

where is he?

Drives a blue sedan, doesn't he?

Gabby? Yeah.

There.

Killed a justice.

Neat.

It's unlocked.

Jack Hill.

Definitely his car.

Well, he's got to be there somewhere.

Handcuffs?

He's going after a cop.

Hey, Vince.

Eli. Found him. And?

LeClaire got here first.

And your wound is identical to Judge Tanner.

Another point -blank kill?

Yeah, we found a 9mm casing in the bush.

Same MO, same caliber.

Looking like it.

I'm going to get our friend here back to the lab.

Guys, let's load him up. Hey,

no witnesses. No one heard the shot.

We asked the center to call the CCTV.

We found this in his gym bag.

It's a burner phone.

What's a retired cop doing with a burner phone?

Is he meeting someone here?

Maybe. He had a 6 .30 a .m. court time, but never made it.

Isaac must have been waiting for him.

He knew his victim's routine, where they were going to be, and at what time.

He has to find this guy before he kills again.

What's up?

Oh.

When I first started doing jobs for Campbell, he gave me one just like it.

think Hill was one of Campbell's guys?

This is the only sketch left.

It has to be his next target.

The handcuffs lead back to Jack Hill, but what about the other arresting

that day?

Thomas Watton?

That looks like a police badge.

Uniforms did a wellness check earlier. They said he was fine.

They stationed an officer outside his home. Maybe that scared Isaac off.

Yeah, except that Hill was shot early this morning.

If Thomas was on Isaac's hit list, wouldn't he have gotten to him already?

So why didn't Isaac go after him?

Yeah, I remember Isaac.

I left the station a few months after his arrest.

Thomas, we think he's targeting the people involved with putting him in

14 years ago.

So far, he's shot the judge, the defense attorney who worked his case, and the

other arresting officer.

Jack? Yeah.

And so we're wondering why nothing has happened to you.

Maybe it's because I never wanted to arrest him.

Look, I knew the minute we pulled him over, that kid was going to go down for

something.

How? Call it a hunch.

Jack was my T .O.

He was a total piece of crap. Always went hard after the same folks.

Folks who weren't white.

According to his arrest report, he was pulled over for a broken taillight.

but that was bullshit.

Jack saw an indigenous kid behind the wheel. That's all it took.

Charges were trumped up?

I mean, he had a few joints on him, but he wasn't the trafficker they made him

out to be.

He said he was bringing them to cancer patients.

I believed him.

I fought with Jack to let it go, but it didn't matter.

You brought him in anyway.

Tased him.

Used excessive force.

Which is exactly what I told my commanding officer.

I got reprimanded for insubordination.

So I walked.

I lied to the fire program at JIBC.

Never looked back.

And Isaac went to prison for 14 years.

A few years after he went in, I heard from him about an appeal he was filing.

He was putting it together himself, asked if I'd give a witness statement.

I said yes.

Did you? I never heard from him again.

Figured he gave up.

Hey.

Anything on the appeal Tom Swatton mentioned?

Yeah, it doesn't look like Isaac filed it.

Now what about the burner phone? The thing's encrypted. I'm trying to crack

now. Hey, so we looked into Jack Hill's rec center membership.

Guess who he had a monthly squash game with?

Oliver Campbell.

Campbell's been known to use burner phones just like that.

He gave me one when I... When you planted false evidence on my dad?

Where's the burner phone now?

I got rid of it.

Oh, yeah? How do we know?

How do we know that you didn't tip Campbell off last night? Sabrina.

Vince, don't.

You know, my dad went to prison because of you.

People thought that he was a criminal because of you. His good name was

He was humiliated.

You don't get a pass, Skabinsky, not from me.

Sabrina, Nate's awake.

Hey.

You're here.

Marcia, I'm here.

How are you feeling?

He shot me.

Why?

We think he targeted you because you were the defense attorney on his case.

We think he's also targeting others he blames for his incarceration.

Do you remember him?

I thought I could get Isaac off with half the time if he just pleaded

out to the charges.

But Judge Tanner didn't see it that way. He gave him 14 years.

Because of me.

Isaac is the reason why I started working for the prosecution.

You wanted to put the right people behind bars.

The arresting officer, Thomas Watton, he said that Isaac was working on an

appeal from prison.

Yeah.

I couldn't help him.

I wanted to, but... I mean, how do you... It was my own sweet deal.

So he was doing it himself.

Do you know why he didn't follow through with the appeal?

He wouldn't stop, but I knew him.

He wouldn't. Someone else stopped him.

FOI request.

Isaac was applying to get the records of his arrest. Court transcripts, the

officer Watton's police notes. For his appeal, he was trying to build his own

case. Just like Watton said. Yeah, except the requests were denied.

All of them? Yeah, he filed them every three months for two years straight. All

of them were denied. No wonder he's pissed off.

Denied why?

Uh, it's different each time. No responsive records were located.

Records requested are not subject to Freedom of Information Act, and then

there's an address and a phone number he can call if he wants to lodge a

complaint. Just more red tape.

But it looks like Isaac did file a complaint asking for a review with OIPC,

shocker, it was denied.

Denied by who?

It's Oliver Campbell.

He wasn't even assistant commissioner then. Yeah, if he provides a legitimate

reason, he can block any request.

And knowing Campbell, he would have come up with any excuse. Jillian, can you

pull up the record that Isaac was trying to access?

Already on it.

There. That's the warrant from Isaac's raid. He was out on bail when the police

kicked his door down.

Arrested him in the middle of the night.

Took him right out of his house. Yeah, and the raid was led by the chief

inspector of the drug squad, Oliver Campbell.

He was in charge of the whole operation.

Isaac would have seen Campbell that night.

Jillian, can you pull up Isaac's last sketch?

In fact, those are Inspector Stripe's police badge glasses.

He's going after Campbell next.

We can get Campbell first. Isaac won't be far behind.

We need to crack that burner phone now.

Yeah, I'm on it.

I pulled the call logs from Hill's phone. He only called one number last

at 7 .32 p .m.

Ten minutes after the arrest warrant for Campbell was put out. He called it

again at 7 .47 p .m. It's right before we stormed Campbell's house.

Can't be a coincidence.

That's got to be Campbell's number.

Julie, can you locate that phone? It'll only ping if it makes a live connection.

Campbell, assuming that it's him, would have to pick up and stay on the line.

Yeah, but if he doesn't hear Jack Hill's voice, how do we keep him talking?

What if he doesn't hear any of us?

Make the call.

Distort the signal.

Jack, what the hell's the matter with these phones?

Jack, can you hear me?

If you can hear me, call me back when you get a better signal.

Got him.

He's in what van?

What the hell are you doing out there?

It's a marina. Float plane, boat.

He's skipping town.

Marina's closed for the season, so there shouldn't be any civilians.

There's only one road in here.

Guard's back.

Repair's stopped.

Diner. Diner's under construction. Kofi's inside. He's probably there.

Hey, we just got a hit on Isaac.

Witness reported someone with his description stealing a black Toyota

Guilford.

And there's another reported sighting of him heading west on Highway 1.

He's going after Campbell.

How the hell did he know he was in West Bend? Maybe he got it from Jack Hill

before he shot him. Okay, we need to move. Here's the plan.

What's about time?

The passport took longer than our guide said, but you're good. The boat is on

its way.

The plane is waiting for you in Seashell. You'll be free and clear by

Good.

Did you hear from Jack today?

No. Did I?

He was having phone trouble, but he should have checked in by now.

I'll text him.

Let's get this boat here.

Yes, sir.

Your radiosies will connect you to Grove and Grove alone. We can't risk another

leak.

I'm going to use a specialized antenna to create a closed circuit channel for

only, but I'm going to need to be close to do it.

We may think we have to jump on him, but Campbell's smart. He'll figure it out

sooner than later, so we need to get there fast.

We'll enter the premises from this road here.

I'll set up our antennas in the guard shack.

Gabby and I will cover you.

Once I'm in, I'll set up our comms and get into the security system.

Clear.

Okay, I'm in.

Two doors, side and rear.

That's concealed access point is the rear entrance.

All right, back and I will take that.

In position to enter.

Copy. All right, if the Claire's on site, do everything in your power to

people contact. We want him detained and we want Campbell to face trial.

In this time, we'll make sure he does.

That's it.

Go get him.

Unknown subject in diner.

Copy.

Going on three.

My sweet rib incoming.

Boats headed to the far end of the marina.

Campbell's not in the diner, he's in the boatyard.

Subject in sight, Capito Claire.

Still on cause here.

Bin scabby?

Capito Claire.

We'll go after Campbell.

Copy.

Jillian, are there any cameras behind the garage?

Negative. It's a dead zone.

I got nothing.

Zach? No.

No one in the garage.

Subject is down.

Sabrina, subject is not LeClaire. Repeat.

Subject is not LeClaire.

Where is he?

Boat is docking. Campbell's headed right for it.

Zach, you copy?

I got eyes on Campbell.

Jillian, you got eyes on Zach?

Negative. I lost him when he went behind the garage.

All right, in pursuit. Heading towards the dock. Need backup.

Remember me?

Isaac, drop the gun.

Oliver Campbell, the man behind it all.

Who are you?

Yeah, that track.

Because we all look the same.

Take one last look.

Isaac, no.

Move, or I'll shoot anyway.

You won't. You know that's not how you're going to heal. I said move.

You have three seconds. Isaac, what would Lily want?

This isn't you.

This isn't the man who used to take care of his little sister.

She was in so much pain.

I was just trying to help.

And this monster broke into my home.

Ripped me away from her.

He took everything from me. Isaac, I know what he did to you.

He did to my dad. He did to a lot of people.

But if you kill him, then he gets off too easy and none of us get the justice

that we deserve.

Justice for Lily.

Justice for the man that you used to be. Justice for the life that you lost.

You need to remember who you are.

You're an artist.

You're a partner.

You're a brother.

And he can't take that away from you.

This isn't the way to heal.

How am I supposed to heal surrounded by cement walls?

How am I supposed to heal in a place where everyone is angry and in pain?

There's no healing in there.

No dignity, no humanity.

They don't want us to heal. They want us to suffer.

I'm so sorry, Isaac.

I'm so sorry.

That you had to go through that.

You've suffered enough.

Haven't you?

Please.

Isaac, please put that gun down.

Drop the weapon.

Now.

That's right.

And the other one.

Let's go.

Come on.

Now get out of my way because I'm getting on that boat.

You're not going anywhere, Campbell. Drop the gun. Do it now.

Gun down. Now.

Oliver Campbell, you are under arrest.

Wow. Seen the light.

I've seen some amazing shit happen when you don't think you've got something to

prove.

And you don't think you're in it alone.

Your eyes are showing right back where he came from.

The place that made him a killer where he shouldn't have even spent a single

night. The system's broken.

No, Zach.

The system is doing exactly what it was designed to do.

Got people off from family, from culture, from community.

The world's not going to heal overnight just because Campbell's in handcuffs.

But we sent a message.

It's worth something.

At least a round of beer.

Come join us.

And I'll join you later.

Paperwork? Quick.

See you later, partner.

It's over.

It's over.

We got him.

We got him.

I'm so proud of you.

I'm so proud of both of you.

Go. Go.
