I know these alleyways too.

Ran from my share of police
back in the day.

The hair sample from the Hanley murder.

I think you brought it to Mercer,

and he told you to bury it.

I need you to hack into this.
It was my father's.

The security system has a login
menu that takes a picture

of whoever's trying
to access the profile.

The hacker must have been
interrupted before they saw that.

- We should split up.
- Noah! Wait!

A few in-patient units
I've found in Winnipeg.

It's not that simple,

you need more than
a diagnosis to get in.

Unless he's a danger to himself

or a danger to other people.

WHAT ARE THEY GONNA DO
TO ME, BILLY?! BILLY!

You would have done anything for him.

For the movement.

Hello?

You haven't returned my calls.

- Where are you?
- I'm in the city.

- When can you get back here?
- Why? What happened?

I think I know who killed my father.

Who?

Not over the phone.
I don't know who's listening.

- Can you prove it?
- We have to figure out a way

- before a jury convicts Luna.
- The trial starts tomorrow.

Then you better hurry back.

Oh, hey, excuse me.

I'm still waiting to get in
to see Shane Crawford.

It's not a good time
for him to have visitors.

You know, I only have a few minutes,
I gotta get back to work.

- We're taking care of him.
- It's just... this might be

the last time I can
get here for a while.

- Another time.
- I just need to explain...

- I just need two minutes.
- Mr. Crawford, the truth is,

your brother doesn't want to see you.

I made a mistake.

I told you to be better
than everyone else,

that wasn't fair.

It doesn't matter how hard we try

or how good we are.

Stats say half of us
are gonna end up in jail.

There's this...

this young woman on trial.

She's facing a lot of years and...

...and she needs help.

I need you to tell me

about the night
your father disappeared.

Nothing is gonna change
unless we change it.

There's no "we", Officer.

Kip, I grew up in that building.

You're one of them.

Tell me what happened.

Don't walk away from me!

You know what happened?
He got a new heart medication.

Made him all confused.

The police treat him like he was drunk!

My dad never drank.

He was good.

What did the police do?

I tell you, then you're gonna
do the same thing to me.

No, I won't.

She's mine. The one on trial,

she's my girl.

Luna.

Remember your manners, it'll count.

They're gonna decide on the
evidence, not my manners.

When your uncle Terry was on trial,

he was really rude to the jury.

Mom, Uncle Terry is rude to everybody.

I'm just saying, be polite.

- Where are you?
- By the water.

Where we used to go
after getting ice cream.

How does the sky look?

Luna...

Mom, what if I don't get out of here?

- You can't think like that.
- An all-white jury.

Physical evidence all points to me.

It's kind of hard not to.

A guilty verdict,

and I'm not out of here until I'm 45.

You won't forget about me, will you?

I'll "make me
a willow cabinet at your gate",

and I'll call upon my soul
in the house."

It's from Shakespeare.

They never let us read our own people,

just a bunch of dead British guys,

but that one always stuck with me.

It means I'm not going anywhere, baby.

Those old British guys,
they like to use a lot of words.

Time, Ms. Spence.

I gotta go.

Kisâkihitin.

This is what we have on Mara Tran.

A hair was removed
from the crime scene.

It was not Luna's,
but it was a match for Mara.

It's a match for colour, but without
consent, we can't know for sure.

Well, Shane saw a woman
leaving the motel.

He could ID Mara from a photo.

That's not possible right now.

The woman had a towel;

maybe she cut herself
on the broken bottle,

which would explain the
blood in the bathroom.

An account based solely

on the least reliable witness we have.

OK.

Bartender at the Lord Admiral
saw a woman

with an American ID watching his room.

Mara has a California driver's license.

There's no way to prove that that person

was watching your father's room.

And how many people have a
California license? 25 million?

- In Millwood?
- Lots of tourists come here to fish.

- Female millennial fishermen?
- It's not proof.

I'm not saying this to make you mad.

Evidence needs a contrarian.

OK.

She discovered that my father's firm

had a client with a
contract with Lovand,

the company threatening her
boyfriend and their movement.

We don't have proof,

irrefutable proof. Joanna...

She probably came to Millwood

to hack into his computer,
and he discovered her.

That means he died because of me.

Even if that is what happened,
it's not your fault.

We need to call the judge,

tell him what we know and
demand a postponement.

We risk making things worse for Luna.

The trial is starting tomorrow.

Never had someone's
freedom in my hands.

She wouldn't want it in anyone else's.

We don't have to prove she's innocent.

It's just about reasonable doubt.

Keep poking holes.
Chip away at their witnesses.

Hey...

we got this.

The eyewitness

gave a physical description of a person

leaving the motel around
the time of the murder.

That description matched the accused.

- It was nighttime? Dark?
- Yes.

The person was seen leaving,
maybe in a hurry?

- Maybe.
- I can't think

of worse conditions
for an accurate description.

- Objection.
- Careful, Ms. Chang.

We found the deceased on the bed.

We bagged his hands
according to our procedure.

How many murders in Millwood

since you joined the police service?

- One.
- So this was your first homicide?

Handling evidence, maintaining

the integrity of the scene

was your first time doing all of it.

It'd be safe to say
that most of the officers,

including you,

were not competent to do the job.

Your Honour, really?

Ms. Chang...

The substance removed from under

the fingernails of the victim
was human skin,

likely due to an altercation
with his attacker.

We tested the DNA,
it was a match to the accused.

Objection.
Chief is not an expert in DNA.

- He can read a report.
- Overruled. Go ahead.

When we brought
the accused into custody,

she had scratch marks on her arms.

But at first, you brought

- her mother into custody.
- That is correct.

The accused's mother, Gerrilynn Spence,

had been involved in an
altercation with the deceased.

- But then she was released?
- We were able to confirm

- her alibi.
- So what made your focus

- change to her daughter?
- Simple,

she returned to Millwood that day

and also confronted... the deceased.

In his motel room,

- same place as the murder.
- And upon questioning,

did the accused deny
being in the motel room?

She admitted she went into the room

- at or around the time of death.
- So, opportunity

and motive. What did you discover

about the relationship between
the accused and the deceased?

She claimed to be his biological child.

Chief, when you took
the accused into custody,

- were there other suspects?
- Sure.

- Some.
- Mhm.

Police are always
accused of tunnel vision,

but when you have the right
person, when the evidence

leads to a suspect so obvious,

who has motive,

opportunity, who hated him,

who was in his room,

her DNA under his fingernails...

there's no reason to look any further.

Thank you, Chief.

It wasn't a total disaster.

He laid out the entire case.

DNA in the room, scorned daughter.

That doesn't mean
the jury will believe Mercer.

They're all Mercers.

Billy, Joanna.

Look, I know it's late.

- I'm sorry for today.
- You didn't have a choice.

There's someone you need to talk to.

Let her go! She's innocent!

Chief Mercer,

you questioned a lot of people,
a lot of people with the motive

to commit the crime,
but you only brought

two people into custody.
Two Indigenous women.

Just following evidence.

- We had an eyewitness.
- Yes.

The eyewitness said they saw

an Indigenous woman leaving the motel.

Chief Mercer,

would you consider yourself
to be a racist?

Objection. Chief Mercer

is a decorated member
of the Millwood Police service.

It's an important question.

Lots of people in Millwood had a motive

to kill David Hanley.

It was Chief Mercer's job
to decide who to pursue.

The witness will answer the question.

Chief Mercer,

are you a racist?

No, Ma'am.

- Are you sure? Just a little bit?
- Haha!

I got a great relationship

with all the people in
town, it's part of my job.

So you wouldn't treat anybody
differently based on their race?

- No. Everyone's equal.
- Whether somebody was white

or if they're Indigenous?

I think I made myself clear.

Just last week, you picked up
a Millwood resident,

Paul Ritchie,

outside The Boot Saturday night.
You drove him home.

- You remember?
- Sure. Yeah, I do that

- if someone's had too many.
- And he is white, Paul Ritchie?

- Yes, Paul Ritchie is white.
- White Paul Ritchie

got home safely.

What about Neil Bellegarde?

A father, Millwood citizen, Indigenous.

He went missing from his neighbourhood

two and a half years ago.

His body was found 10km away,

past the edge of town. It was January,

minus 30.

He was wearing a t-shirt, no shoes.

Paul Ritchie gets chauffeured home...

Neil Bellegarde gets a Starlight Tour.

That's what they call it, right?

The Starlight Tour?

Dumped on the edge of town.

10km in Millwood in January
is a death sentence.

I don't know what you're talking about.

He was in your patrol car that night.

Objection. How about some evidence?

Ms. Chang...

An information request
for outstanding warrants

for Neil Bellegarde came in
just after midnight

from your patrol car.

So why would you care
about Neil Bellegarde

if he wasn't sitting
in the back of your car?

I refuse to answer your questions

until I consult with counsel.

OK.

I will go back to the
original question.

Chief Mercer, are you a racist?

No, Ma'am.

The eyewitness said they saw

an Indigenous woman leaving the motel.

Not coming out of the victim's room,

not standing over his body.
You made that assumption.

That racist assumption.

Court is in recess.

I didn't have an easy time
when I was your age.

When they called me
names at school, I, uh...

I always punched first.

Teenage Owen was headed
straight in their system.

Then an elder gave me this.

To guide me,

to remind me that I was
part of something.

We need to look out for one another.

Thanks, Officer.

OK, I can't do this. I can't do this.

It's too late to back out now.

Luna didn't do anything.

You made a deal
with the police, Taylor.

Just tell them the truth.

You're a good person, Taylor,
everybody knows that.

Then why am I doing this to her?

If Luna said those things,

you have an obligation
to tell the court.

Yeah, but it doesn't
mean that she meant it.

And it certainly doesn't mean
that she killed him!

No, but that's up to a jury to decide.

I just don't want
my words to get twisted.

If you don't testify
and tell what you know,

you will be sitting beside her

in jail.

On the 5th of June,
you traveled to Millwood

- with the accused?
- Yes.

And when you were driving,
did you talk about David Hanley?

Uh, maybe.

Ms. Matheson?

I can't remember.

You told investigators
that you discussed David Hanley,

that the accused made statements
about killing him.

I don't know.

Last year, I was diagnosed

with a brain injury from exposure

to the chemical benzene.

It has affected my memory. Sorry.

You made a timely recording of your

statements to insure their accuracy.

You told police that your journal

- reflects the truth.
- I'm not certain

that I was in a position
to know what is true

or what's accurate.

Ms. Matheson, you are
directly contradicting

your sworn statement.

- That's perjury.
- As I mentioned,

due to my condition,

I don't recall my sworn statement.

You received immunity
from prosecution in exchange

for your testimony.

That offer can be rescinded.

The witness made a good faith

agreement with police
in exchange for her testimony.

Now the crown claims perjury,
but perjury requires intent.

Due to the severity
of her brain impairment

the witness is incapable
of forming the requisite intent

for the commission
of the crime of perjury.

Her testimony is
necessary to establish premeditation.

I'm not impressed by your tactics,

Mr. Bennett, or
by your choice of witness.

How can she be expected
to provide reliable testimony?

The jury will disregard
this witness' testimony.

Ms. Matheson, you're dismissed.

With Taylor's testimony thrown out,

it's very unlikely
they can prove premeditation.

- S0 no first-degree murder then?
- Which would be huge for us.

Let's not get ahead of ourselves.

Your Honour, we'd like to add
a name to our witness list.

- We call Joanna Chang to the stand.
- Objection, Your Honour.

- She's the lawyer of record.
- Our investigation has

uncovered material evidence that
Ms. Chang failed to disclose.

Joanna, you need to call me back.

I don't get it. My mom's birth
certificate says she was underage,

and guys like David
get off with nothing.

But not this time. I don't know how,

but he's gonna pay for what he did.

He's gonna get what's coming to him.

That voice-mail was left on your phone

one week before your
father was murdered.

Your Honour, we strongly object
to the use of this evidence

in violation of the witness'
right to privacy.

Voice-mail was obtained
legally under a search warrant

and comes from the
accused's outgoing calls.

The privacy right belongs

to the witness, it was her phone.

Voice-mails are stored
in a central server,

there's no inherent right to privacy.

- Alright, go ahead, Mr. Bennett.
- Thank you, Your Honour.

Ms. Chang, what did it mean
that "guys like"

David Hanley get off with nothing"?

My father was accused

of engaging in sexual
activity with a minor.

With the accused's mother,
Gerrilynn Spence.

Luna believed that she was the product

of that alleged crime.

The charges were dropped.
Did that make Luna mad?

She sounds really mad.

- Objection! Speculation.
- Sustained.

You listened to that message
over a dozen times.

And then after your father was killed,

an hour after Luna Spence
was taken into custody,

you listened to the message once again.

And then you deleted it.

You must have known
that was relevant evidence.

And destroying evidence
in a criminal case

constitutes obstruction of justice,

an indictable offense

carrying a jail time of up to 10 years.

I'm sorry, does he have a question?

Why did you listen to the
message after she was arrested?

I wanted to make sure.

- Of?
- When I heard the message,

I...

I didn't think
that he was in any danger.

Luna was mad at him,

a lot of people were,

but she's not capable
of harming anyone.

If I thought that he was in danger,

I would have...
I would have warned him.

I would have stopped it!

I didn't want him to die.

If it wasn't evidence of guilt,

why would you delete the message?

I don't know what happened
to the message.

Well, according to our expert,
that message was deleted

immediately after it was
listened to on that morning,

at 9:26 A.M.

On another case, I have been
consistently the target of phone

and computer hacking.

My car was hacked.

My office was bugged.
Nothing that's happened

on my phone or any of my other
devices can be trusted.

It's a wild conspiracy.

Well... are you saying,

under threat of perjury,

that you did not
delete that voice-mail?

It wasn't a threat.

- Luna was never a threat.
- Answer the question.

I didn't delete it.

Thank you, Your Honour.

- Do you want to talk about it?
- No.

We call in an expert. We bring in Mara.

- To corroborate your story?
- We serve a notice to appear.

- We get Mara on the stand.
- With what evidence?

My car was hacked into.
So was my phone.

They recorded my conversations.

I was there.

We deleted it.

"We" didn't delete it, Billy.

I didn't stop you.

We need to bring in Mara.

We have to or we will lose.

Why did you suspect
Mara in the first place?

According to Noah, the last
thing that was looked at

on my father's computer was a contract

between his client

and Lovand.

It doesn't make sense.

He's a senior partner...
it was a license agreement.

So not something
he's gonna waste his time on.

He's got a dozen lawyers
working on those kinds

of details, and all of a sudden,
he's poring over it

in a Millwood motel room?

It was not him.

You think it was Mara?

Lovand was ruining their lives.

And mine. And it was the exact document

that she asked me to get from him.

She had the time to drive to Millwood.

She had the skill to hack
into his computer.

And he caught her.

Any chance you could get to Noah?

If he has email it's probably

on his own server and all of his
social-media feeds are shut down.

And he just bolted for the airport.

Something spooked him.

The security system.

My father's laptop,

Noah was breaking into it for me.

He said there was an
advanced security system,

that took a photo of anybody
attempting an unauthorized entry.

He was retrieving that when he ran.

Mara.

There's a picture of her
at the crime scene.

- We have to get that picture.
- But she has the laptop,

she would have destroyed it already.

No, if it's an advanced
security system,

it won't just be on the laptop.

Any picture that camera took

will be stored on the cloud somewhere.

We need a hacker

who's willing to break a few laws.

Is it that bad?

And I don't even get a say.
I don't get to stand up

in front of the jury
and tell them I'm innocent.

I sit there,

and people tell lies about me.

I loved looking at the sky
when I was a kid.

Prairie sky goes on forever.

It's freedom.

And they only give us
a tiny piece of it.

Just enough to see what we don't have.

I'm sick of having no power.

What would you do if you could get out?

I have to think about
what I'd do if I don't.

Sunil.

- Joanna, I'm really sorry.
- I don't have time.

You spied on me. You bugged our office.

I need a hacker.

I know that you know people,

and you're clearly willing to
cross the line to get a result.

Lovand had something on me.

They offered me a deal.

I didn't have a choice.

I need someone to crack into

an advanced security system today, like

right now.

Everything you need to know is in here.

Look, I'm already in a lot of trouble.

I'm facing a disbarment hearing.

Steadman Lavery is
sending me to Singapore.

I may not be available

to testify at your disbarment hearing.

Maybe you get to keep your license.

The clock's running.

- State your name.
- Mara Tran.

I have a Master's in Computer
Science from Stanford.

I have worked at several notable
Silicon Valley companies,

and I am the chief technology
officer of GenBreach.

How easy is it to
hack in someone's phone?

It's simple.

Most people think their phones
are private and secure

because they're
in their physical possession,

most of the apps you download open
up a backdoor for people like me.

So, would it be safe to say
that just because something

happens on someone's phone...
like a message gets deleted...

that you can't assume
that the phone's owner did it?

It would be easy to hack
into someone's phone and make it

look like the owner
did or said anything.

It's indistinguishable.

- Thank you. That's all.
- Thank you, Ms. Tran.

Uh, wait!

Are there advanced security systems

that capture evidence of hacking?

Yes. Some hackers end up

leaving digital footprints
if they're not careful.

The deceased in this
trial was also hacked.

His laptop had an
advanced security system.

It took a photo of the hacker.

Did you know the deceased,
David Hanley?

No.

The Privacy Project that you worked on,

it was being harassed
by a major defense contractor.

Where is this going?

This will only take a few minutes.

It'll be worth it hopefully.

Quickly. The witness is here

as a technology expert only.

The Project was being sued
by Lovand Industries

who claimed that your boyfriend,

Noah Achari, was sabotaging

their product
and destroying their business.

They were trying
to get revenge on Noah.

- You were very protective of him?
- Of him.

Of the movement. Sure.

Was my father in possession
of documents that you needed

to help Noah, to help the movement?

Yes.

You were desperate to
get your hands on them.

You asked me to get them,
and I refused?

You need to answer.

Did you ask me to get
the papers from my father?

- Yes.
- And did I refuse?

- Yes.
- And you were mad.

You were trying to keep Noah alive.

Yes. Maybe.

And after I refused,

my father's computer was hacked.

The same night that he died.

I don't know anything about that.

Have you been to Millwood before today?

No.

A long, dark hair was found
next to my father's body.

Objection. There's no hair
sample in the evidence log.

That hair mysteriously
disappeared from police files.

- Your Honour, please.
- Ms. Chang!

Withdrawn.

May I be excused? I don't feel so well.

The bottle broke. You cut your hand.

You tried to clean it up, but you left

one little drop of blood
in the bathroom.

This didn't disappear.

Someone was watching my father's room

from the bar across the street,

waiting for him to leave.

Someone with an American
driver's license.

Will you show the court
your driver's license?

No?

You went to Millwood that night.

To protect Noah.
To protect the movement.

You snuck into his room after he left

and he caught you.

You were scared. You defended yourself.

No.

And you killed him.

I didn't.

But not before you got
caught on camera.

It was an accident.

Oh, my God!

Order! Order!

- Our client is innocent...
- I said, "No surprises," Ms. Chang.

Would you like to explain yourself?

We have a witness
at the Lord Admiral Tavern

who will place Mara Tran in
Millwood the night of the murder,

and DNA will place her
in my father's motel room.

Ms. Chang, in my court,

we follow the rules of
procedure and evidence.

- I don't know what that was in there...
- Your Honour,

that was reasonable doubt.

Luna Spence...

...you have been charged
with the murder

of David Richard Hanley.

Your Honour, the Crown is...

...withdrawing the charge.

Ms. Spence,

you are free to go.

Don't hold on to this.

How do I just move on with my life?

I know something about
not being able to move on.

You just keep trying.

I saw a side of Millwood I didn't like,

and I moved here
when he bought us the house, and...

I thought I had to live in exile

because of something he did to me.

You're going back to Long Grass?

- Mom, you're going home?
- Yeah.

We don't have to answer
to David Hanley anymore.

There's no way I can go back to work.

Mercer can't stay chief,
not after that.

Oh, this is Millwood,
nothing would surprise me.

I know what you risked for me.

I can't ever thank you enough.

No, you just do what you do.

You're gonna make the world great.

You're better than you think
you are too, you know?

- Where's Billy?
- He got a call, he had to go.

Mm-hmm. Isn't that your move?

- OK.
- Come on.

I'm sorry I had
to pull you away from court.

- I'm glad you called.
- He was asking for you.

Shane, I'm sorry
about how I got you in here.

I didn't have a choice.

You were worried.

You don't have to be.

Everything's gonna be OK.

We're Crawfords,
nothing we can't handle.

You were hearing voices.

I don't hear voices, Billy.

I can read minds, OK?

And I am just starting

to harness my powers.

Dad always said I was different.

If I concentrate,

I can control people.

I can implant thoughts in their heads.

Shane...

promise me you'll take the meds.

Billy, my protector,

the gallant knight
in sunshine and shadow,

Over the mountains of the Moon,

down the Valley of the Shadow,

ride,

boldly ride, Billy boy.

Sorry. I had to run into the city.

I didn't want to leave
without saying goodbye.

So,

you're off to conquer
the international legal world.

Asia.

I leave in two weeks.

Wow, that's...

It's amazing.

You know, I'm thinking
of leaving Millwood.

Yeah. Yeah, it's time
to challenge myself,

get better.

I liked criminal law.

More people, less paper.

Paper is way better than people.

We will agree to disagree.

Not the first time.

- Are you selling this place?
- Oh no.

No, I'm keeping the place.

I'll need to get out of the city
once in a while.

Billy Crawford in the city...

You'll be near Shane.

I know how close
you two were growing up.

I got him into a hospital.

I had to trick him,
get him to attack me,

but it was the only way
to get him the help he needed.

I'm sorry.

It's a broken system.

Might need fixing.

What are you gonna do about...?

My dad?

I don't know what to do with him.

I think he'd be happiest
sprinkled under his desk at CTS.

The cleaning staff would just
vacuum him up.

Every place I think of

would just annoy him.

What would annoy him the most?

He didn't really like
any of these people.

He just didn't really know 'em.

Now he'll get to spend
some quality time with them.

You know this is technically illegal.

Ah, it's not the most illegal thing

we've ever done together.

No need to meet in dark
alleyways, Owen,

- thanks to you.
- And you.

Thank you, Mayor.

For what?

- Caring.
- Ha!

It's in the job description.

Millwood needs a new chief of police,

and I need someone I can trust.

Are you offering me the job?

We need a strong and measured hand

on the rudder, Owen.
Especially after all this.

I'm honoured.

Does it mean you'll take it?

Well, I'll have to think about it.

Of course.

Take all the time
you need before Monday.

Uh, Mayor,

what happens to Sam Mercer?

It's up to the new Chief to decide.

Millbrew wasn't just a beer.

It was an elixir of life.

The recipe was hidden
by the ancient Aztecs

in the sun temple at Teotihuacan.

They called it the Nectar of the Gods.

We set out from Leon
Trotsky's house in Mexico City.

Me, my father,

two mules and a pair
of Rhodesian Ridgebacks.

We stole their recipe.

And when they come to claim it back,

I need all of you to be ready.

Welcome to the North End!

- Have you come to say goodbye?
- I leave tonight.

Just a short 31-hour flight
with 3 stops.

- Haha!
- Um...

I also came to, uh...

I love you.

I love you too.

So, when do you head back to school?

Um, I am actually not
going back to Montreal.

I'm transferring back here,
and I'm gonna go to U of M.

But this feels like home.

You heard from Molly?

I saw that she posted

some pics on a white,
sandy beach somewhere.

You miss her.

We both had to grow,

and we had to be apart to do that.

Luna, you're so young,

how do you know so much already?

I don't know.

My ancestors.

A great mother.

And my older sister's no dummy either.

Seriously, the North End could
always use a great lawyer.

Well, you better hurry
and get through law school.

Hi.

There's something I never told you.

Something I never told anyone.

I keep running

because...

...I don't think
I've ever been loved, so...

...so I don't know how to love.

That's not true.

There are people who love you.

They try,

but I won't let them.

Well, you're going to a whole new city.

It's a fresh start.

You can be whoever you want to be.

Did you think about asking me...

...to stay with you?

You know, I, uh...

I can't compete with Singapore.

You're gonna conquer the world.

You didn't answer the question.
