Millwood! Woo! Woo!

Mayor Shepard.

Wanna make a friendly wager on the game?

I'm a public servant, Ben.

Betting on the home team would
be violating some sort of oath.

But I'm gonna say
Bulldogs in penalty kicks.

They're here.

Hey, how you holding up?

I don't know if I'm
going to get through it.

I'm not supposed to say anything but...

there's a scout here from McGill.

For Molly?

The kid's a rising star.

You must be a proud uncle.

Could not be prouder.

OK, guys! Bring it in!

The only thing that stands

between us and playoffs is one game.

You guys ready? Let's do this.

- Bring it in. Three, two one.
- Bulldogs Fight!

Woo!

- Go!
- Down the line, Molly!

Down the line!

- Pass it! Go Molly!
- Pass it!

Bulldogs! Come on! Let's go, Dogs!

Millwood! Woo!

Ref, Ref, Ref!

Yellow card. That's gotta hurt.

You're welcome to take over anytime.

- That's not my job.
- You're right, it's not.

Aren't you supposed to
be encouraging people?

I'm not here to coddle you.

You're gonna score today.

I can tell.

Go Bulldogs!

Get 'em up, Bulldogs!
Go, Bulldogs! Go long!

YEAH!

Go Molly! Woohoo!

Taylor?

- TAYLOR!
- Move! Move, move, move, move!

Taylor!

Get out of the way! Get out of the way!

Seizures, uncontrollable twitching,

loss of motor function.
There is nothing tying

these symptoms to either...

Sodium Chloride or... what is it again?

- Polysorbate.
- Polysorbate!

- Why won't that stay in my head?
- Just take a breath, Counselor.

I can't lose this injunction.

We're not going to.

I should've had this
all wrapped up last week.

Made that stupid mistake
on the signed affidavit.

Hey! The key to winning law?

No short term memory.

That's easy for you to say.

You have a nearly photographic one.

OK. Let's go over it again.

You'll talk about symptoms, chemicals.

I'll pepper in some
data about proving cause,

and then I'll set you
up for the big spike.

- What?
- Thank you...

for, you know, stepping
up, helping me out.

Of course. We're on the same team.

Except... you're the star player

and I'm the fourth line
grinder about to be sent down.

No. You're not gonna get fired.

If I lose this Bordoxx opportunity...

Well, that's not gonna happen.
There's no creditable data

- to support this injunction.
- That's not what

- Crawford and Associates claim.
- Headed up by none other

than Billy Crawford...

who used to mow our lawn.

I can't believe you're from Millwood.

Yeah. That's why my dad is sending you.

You are going to block
this injunction, Alan,

and then our friends at
Bordoxx will be so impressed...

- That they will jump to the CTS ship.
- Mm-hmm.

They spent 25 million
on legal alone last year.

70% of that went across
the street to Franklin Rose.

If we can scoop that revenue stream...

neither of us will have
a thing to worry about.

OK. Let's go over it again.

OK.

There is no link to these symptoms

in Sodium Chloride or Polysorbate.

So, proving even proximate
causation would be like

trying to prove the existence of God

at an atheist barbecue.

Besides, there's more at stake here.

If this injunction is upheld...

We will be looking at...

Opening up the doors to anti-vaxxers.

TB. Polio.

All vaccinations will be

on the bargaining table,
open for litigation.

This would set a catastrophic precedent

that anti-vaxxers, with
their faulty science

and myopic navel-gazing,
can transport us

back to the Middle Ages.
We cannot let that happen.

The work you do is too important

and we, here at CTS,

want to help you protect that.

Wow.

OK. So, you'll just say
all that to the judge?

Trust me. It will be far better.

Joanna...

Franklin Rose is our primary
counsel. You know that.

Rumour has it that you're
not entirely happy with them.

Where'd you hear that?

It doesn't matter.

What matters is that you're here,

which means there is some
validity to the claim.

We think you'd be much happier
with us in top position.

Go to Millwood,

give that rousing speech you just
gave and block this injunction.

- Then we'll talk again.
- Actually Roy,

I'm sending Alan to Millwood.

Joanna and I have too
much history there.

No. I want her to go. No offense.

No. Of course.

That's not going to be
a problem, is it? David?

No. Not at all.

Good. Then it's settled.

Joanna goes to Millwood.

And in return you'll
take this to your team,

- and discuss making us top dog?
- She doesn't quit, this one.

Deal.

In the meantime, nobody saw me here.

No filter, no conscience.

God made you the perfect lawyer.

I had a good role-model.

- Right, Dad?
- You're gonna outshine me by a mile.

You were amazing, sweetheart.

Thanks.

I did talk myself into a
ticket to Millwood, though.

No, that's not gonna happen.

I'll call Roy and I'll
convince him to send Alan.

No, it's OK. I'll go.
It's what the client wants.

Yes, but the client can
always be persuaded otherwise.

- I need you here.
- It'll only be a couple days.

I wish I could clone you!

And have one of you in every
major city that we do business in.

We're really lucky to have you here.

I didn't really have
much of a choice, did I?

What are you talking about?
Every firm in the city wanted you.

Yeah... but you made a
pretty compelling pitch.

What'd you say?

"Your dad and grandad
had a general store.

We'll have a law firm."

Look, I'm not... I'm not
sending you to Millwood.

I was born there, remember?

- I know what it's like.
- Yeah, and there's a reason

that we left when you were
a kid. And it's gotten worse.

I'll keep my head down,
avoid any bar fights

and I will get this done.

Scooping Bordoxx would be huge for us.

Let me do this for you.

OK. Crush them and get the
hell back here. I love you.

I love you too, Dad.

Hi. My name's Joanna Hanley.

I'd like to make an
appointment with Dr. Harper.

Yeah, today if possible.

Uh... no, that's too late.

11? I can make it. See you in 10.

Your last check up with
me was October 2000.

- I've been busy.
- How's your dad?

Good, you know, he's still practicing.

Great lawyer. Better doubles partner.

Still is.

And your mom?

We lost touch a few years ago.

Your blood pressure is high.

Have you been under a
lot of stress lately?

No, no. I'm fine.

I heard that there are a few
girls in town who are sick...

Yeah, well, I can't talk
about other patients.

What proof is there linking
the vaccine to the symptoms

in your professional opinion, Doctor?

I'd like to do some blood work.

I just need some more
information on these girls.

And I told you that's privileged.

OK.

I'm considering the HPV vaccine.

As my family doctor, you are under

a professional obligation to provide me

with any and all evidence
linking the vaccine

to potential side effects.

Can I help you?

- Diane.
- Joanna?

The last time I saw you,
we were in high school...

and you're still here?

Yeah. Voted most likely to
be a divorced mother of two.

I'm the guidance counselor.

So, uh, what about you?

It's like you were abducted by aliens.

Nope. Um, I just... moved.

My dad got a job.

You married?

- No.
- Lucky.

So, um, are you here
to represent the girls?

I... I thought that Billy Crawford

was representing the girls?

No. He just tried to stop the
clinic so no one else gets sick.

Honestly...

I've never seen anything like it.

No motor control,

loss of balance, tics.

It started just after
the vaccine clinic.

That's the brutal part.
I was spearheading it,

trying to convince the anti-vaxxers,

the lesbians and the
Catholics they all needed it.

The lesbians think HPV
is a "hetero thing."

The Catholics won't admit
they're having sex, and don't

get me started on the anti-vaxxers.

Walking, please.

This... this plaque, it used
to say "The Hanley Library".

Yeah. They renamed it after you left...

but when you prove it's
the vaccine that did this,

maybe they'll re-rename it after you.

No, I... I can't prove that. No one can.

It's just... the evidence
doesn't fully support the claim.

I'm sorry. Which side are you on?

Don't make this personal.

Our girls are sick, Joanna.

It's already personal.

Why don't you leave?

Your Honour.

I'm here to intervene in the petition

to have my client's
vaccine clinic shut down.

Joanna Hanley, attorney for Bordoxx.

William Crawford.
Crawford and Associates.

We went to school together.

Congratulations. Proceed.

Your Honour, I filed the injunction

to stop the upcoming HPV vaccine clinic.

Your Honour, an injunction
before a full hearing

on the merits would cause my client

- significant reputational harm.
- There are serious questions

about the safety of this vaccine.

The court cannot allow it to be
administered to more children.

There is no proof that Bordoxx's vaccine

caused whatever mysterious illness

is happening in Millwood.

We hope to secure the
opinion of medical experts

who will testify otherwise.

This is the actual medical opinion

of the doctor of all of the sick girls.

Medical records are privileged.

That was given to me

by my family doctor in the
course of my own treatment.

Any evidentiary privilege
belongs to me, and I waive it.

Your Honour, I, um...

I have here a study that would

suggest a potential association

between the accumulation
of neurotoxins in vaccines

and, uh, neurological disorders.

If these kids can't
access the HPV vaccine,

they are at serious
risk for cervical cancer.

We ask the court to deny the injunction.

Let the clinic go ahead.

Let these students make their own

informed decision about the vaccine.

Mr. Crawford, your injunction is denied

until such time as you

can present direct evidence

that links the vaccine and the harm.

Ms. Hanley,

notice the motion to stop the
injunction has been upheld by this court.

Thank you, Your Honour.

Your client's gonna pay.

Yeah? We'll see about that.

Thank you.

- I'm so sorry, Ben.
- You did your best.

- Hi.
- Thanks, Mr. Crawford.

- Hi.
- Hey!

I stopped the injunction for Bordoxx.

Joanna, that's amazing!
I knew you would do it.

Well, court went pretty
much as we planned.

You would've done the same
thing. This was our case.

The client will be over the moon!

Prepare for the ship jumping.

- Let's not pop the champagne yet.
- Congratulations.

Thank you, it was a team effort.

So...

how is it, being home?

I don't know. It's weird.

Um...

I need you to draft
settlement agreements

as quickly as possible
for the three families.

- I'll get you the names.
- OK. I'm on it.

I saw it today, Alan.

This could be a lot
worse than we thought.

- The twitching?
- Yes.

The lawyer hasn't
signed an agreement yet,

so we need to move as
quickly as possible.

And then...

And "and then" what? We win.

And then we celebrate.

Yeah, of course.

Uh... get me those agreements, OK?

You got it.

This offer to settle

all current and future claims

is not an admission of
fault by Bordoxx Industries.

Their vaccine has been rigorously tested

and has met all government
safety standards.

However...

as a show of good faith

and to aid in your care,

my client is willing to offer $50000.

It could be in your account today.

Shouldn't our lawyer look at this?

You could do that, but...

he would just slow down the process.

And he would take
one-third of the money

for doing nothing.

He told me about that part.

It's better if that money goes
into your own pocket, I think.

We only want you to get better.

You can't do this. They're my clients.

Did you sign a retainer agreement?

Then they aren't.

Implied lawyer-client relationship
can exist even in the absence

of a formal agreement: The Devaux case.

By the time you go to court to prove it,

I'm going to have
settled with all of them

and be back on a plane.

17 years later, you still need to
be the smartest person in the room.

I don't need to be. It
just works out like that.

You are robbing them.

- This is a fair settlement.
- These girls deserve millions.

They're not gonna get that, Billy.

You can't win this.

We'll bury you in documents.

We'll file endless procedural
motions. Litigation is war.

Oh...

We'd destroy you, Billy.

You'd have to be crazy or
stupid to take this case.

You know you're the bad guy, right?

Well, you picked a good
time to come by for supper.

The Matheson Meatball
is known far and wide.

- Really?
- No.

Sharon's, uh...

at bridge once a week,

so spaghetti's about all I can handle.

I hear you want to settle.

Millwood's a small town.

My client is willing to offer $50000

to settle all current and future claims

against Bordoxx, its
subsidiaries and assigns.

I'm not settling.

You may want to think about
what's best for your daughter.

I have a good job.

My kid gets good health care.

I don't need your money.

You can always use more.

Can you?

Sometimes I think people have too much.

If you go to court,

you may get nothing.

100000.

My wife...

is a wreck,

and my little girl...

It's the toughest thing in the world,

watching your kid trying to be brave.

You can let yourself out.

Hi.

I was just talking with your father.

One of the girls just called
me. I know what you're doing.

Our vaccine has been thoroughly tested.

The offer is just our way of
saying that we hope you get better.

This started after I got the vaccine.

That doesn't mean that
the vaccine caused it.

Temporal precedence is a necessary

but not sufficient
condition of causation.

You know, I was considering law.

I've always gotten As,

but... I have final exams coming up.

I study...

I just can't remember things.

My brain is all foggy.

I had to...

I had to quit cheerleading.

This wasn't how I pictured turning 18.

- You're already 18?
- My birthday...

was last week.

Do you, uh, want some
money for yourself?

Just for you. Your dad doesn't
even have to know about it.

How does $50000 sound?

That sounds really good.

Are you proud of yourself?

I'm not the enemy, Diane.

Oh, no?

Who are you, then?

You must be happy with your work.

At least they're getting something.

But, if your vaccine didn't

cause the symptoms, why
are you giving away money?

The truth?

Couldn't hurt.

To avoid bad press.

It's a lot of money

for people around
here, but for my client,

- it's a rounding error.
- "A rounding error"?

- Wow.
- You wanted the truth.

You know...

one minute we're making
plans to go to a bush party.

Next thing I know, you're gone.

And I don't hear from you in 15 years...

17... actually.

Then you ride into town to screw us.

Lot of nerve.

I should've called.

I should get this mutt home.

Hey, is there somewhere
I can eat around here?

Where they won't
poison your food? Hmm...

Lucy's.

Um...

do you wanna join me?

I can't. Derek's dropping
the kids off soon.

Oh.

Rain cheque...

- on dinner.
- Sure thing.

Come on!

Oh! I am so sorry.

I'm not normally this clumsy.

Oh, no. It's OK.

I've had a long day too.

How's the spinach salad?

All right.

A cheeseburger and fries, then.

Somebody die?

Uh, no. I'm a lawyer.

- Nobody's perfect.
- The, um, vaccine lawyer?

Yeah.

So you're settling with all the girls?

- I'm just doing my job.
- Yeah.

I just... wish everyone was looking

for a fix instead of someone
to blame it on, you know?

But I guess that's just not
how the world works, huh?

I'll get you that burger.

Oh, my God.

Hey, hey. Let me help.

- I'm OK. Ah!
- MOLLY!

- Oh, my God!
- Please! Molly!

You're gonna be OK! You're gonna be OK!

Come on! Molly!

Molly!

Molly, it's OK! It's OK!

Yeah. I mean, one second she was fine

and then she just went down.

I traveled with her in the
ambulance, but I don't know.

No one will tell me anything
'cause I'm not family.

No, I'm OK.

I should go.

I'll call you later. Promise.

I've got some change.

I don't want your money.

How is she?

A lot better.

Here.

She's never had a seizure before?

Never.

But she had started showing symptoms?

She made me promise not to tell anyone.

Luna... if the number

of cases are growing and our vaccine

- actually caused this, then...
- It didn't.

What?

I said "it didn't".

Hi. I'm Joanna.

Joanna rode with me
here in the ambulance.

Oh. I'm Wendy,

Molly's mom. Thanks
for taking care of her.

Of course.

Molly, Luna just told me...

you didn't get the HPV vaccine.

We've only ever been
with each other, so...

I figured I didn't need it.

Molly!

- Uncle Billy!
- Hey.

What happened?

- She had a seizure.
- You OK?

Yeah.

You should see the other guy.

What are you doing here?

Your niece never got the vaccine.

What? She told Wendy that she did.

She didn't want you guys
to find out she was gay.

Oh, God. We've known forever.

We were just... waiting
for her to tell us.

- So, now what?
- Now? Now, I go home

and get a big fat slap on the back.

This absolves my client.

All right. So, I guess that's it.

Not for you.

Something else is
making these girls sick.

You have to figure out what it is.

Just start with things

they all do, have and use:

Shampoos, activities, cleaning
products at their school,

places they like to
shop, local hangouts.

Look, I don't have the resources.

You're Crawford and Associates.

Associates just sounded cooler.

Yeah.

One-man band.

OK. So, my retainer

is normally 10K, but...

buy me a burger, I'm yours for an hour.

Well, that's better
than nothing, I guess.

To The Boot.

- Is there a wine list?
- Oh, yeah.

I have it memorized: Red and white.

Can we get two beers?

- How's the calamari?
- Oh, it's good.

It's like the onion rings, but... squid.

So...

15-year-old girl got sent
home from Calculus today

- for disrupting class.
- Another one.

It isn't a lawsuit yet. It's
just a fishing expedition.

Without a cause, you don't have a case.

Thank you.

Where would you start?

You've gotta start at the
beginning. Who's patient zero?

Taylor Matheson, we think.

And... it's only affecting girls.

So far.

Well, you can probably
rule out a disease,

which is good because
there's no one to sue,

and no one to pay your legal fees.

Molly seems like a good kid.

Yeah, she's a definite over-achiever.

Kind of kid you know is gonna

leave town and do something great.

I gotta get this. It's Wendy.

- Yeah, of course.
- Hey!

You're David Hanley's daughter?

- Yeah.
- Ah!

Are you OK?

What the hell was that?

I have no idea.

Is it swelling?

It's not... not swelling.

I can't go back to work like this.

Well, you should stay.

You know, just 'til
the swelling goes down.

We're a corporate firm.

We work on important cases.

This is an important case around here.

That's not what I meant.

Did you just come back
here right after school?

Pretty much.

Surely business would have
been better somewhere else.

Yeah.

But that "somewhere else"
wouldn't have been my home.

So, you stay because of nostalgia?

No.

No, it's not that. It's...

The feeling I get driving up the 59

on my way back from somewhere, it's...

It's tough to explain.

OK. Really, how does it look?

Well, you look like
you're from Millwood.

It was nice seeing you
again, Billy. Good luck.

Yeah.

You take care of yourself, Counselor.

I absolved Bordoxx.

Well, hello to you too.

Sorry.

- It's been a long day.
- So...

does that mean the client
doesn't have to pay out?

Not a cent. Completely off the hook.

Joanna!

That's great! I mean,
that's a better result

than anyone could've
expected. Are you celebrating?

I had a glass of wine,

took a bath, shaved my legs.

I did everything I could think of doing.

It's a small town.

You OK? You don't sound like
you just won a huge case.

I don't know.

You ever think...

What?

It's just we've worked
so hard to get here.

Did you ever think it
would feel different?

You got anything smaller
on your mind, Counselor?

Yeah. Sorry.

Have you told your dad?

No. Not yet.

Hmm. I thought he'd be your first call.

Yeah...

Sure you're OK?

Of course. I'll see you tomorrow.

Congratulations, Counselor.

All right, ma'am?

Oh, yeah.

I... I used to live in this house.

Your father's David Hanley?

Didn't think a Hanley would
ever set foot in this town again.

Taylor. Is everything all right?

Well, my parents are fighting
over your settlement offer.

Ahem. There... there is no
settlement offer to fight over.

Now that we can prove

that the vaccine isn't responsible,

Bordoxx has no reason to pay out.

Bordoxx is a corporation.

They don't care about me.

But you came to my house
and you sat with me!

I knew you were on the
other side, but I thought,

"At least she's a person."

I was wrong. You're not.

I want you to get better.

- Taylor...
- I have lost everything!

My life is ruined.

I have no idea what is
wrong with me or... or why.

Now that you know that
the vaccine didn't do this,

you can find out the real cause.

Don't pretend like you're on my side.

You're a hot shot lawyer. You
could help me if you wanted.

That's not really what I do.

No, of course not.

Your job is to...

screw people over.

Good, hardworking people.

And you saw me and you thought,
"Well, she's just a sick kid.

She'll agree to anything."

How can you live with yourself?!

My dad wanted me to be a lawyer.

But after what I've seen today,

I'm never turning into you.

They're holding Molly for a
few more days of observation.

Yeah, her mom's pretty upset.

Well, she's scheduled for a CT scan,

and hopefully that'll give us more

information about what
caused the seizure.

They're all gonna need CT scans.

And blood tests.

And we're gonna need
neurologists, toxicologists.

I'll call you back.
