Lucy:
Hey, aunt jojo.

What do you think?

What's going on here?

Hey, this is your surprise.

You're not
supposed to see.

No thank you.

You never relax.

Maybe it'll help get
the bug out of your ass.

You got a problem?

Reed:
Your problem with me,
is what I hear.

Calling me a disgrace.

Telling lucy she
can't trust me?

You don't know
nothin' about me.

(ominous music)

(echoing) I need to go.

Where are you going?

I am good to that girl.

What do you do
for this family?

And I'm the disgrace?

How many times have
you been in jail?

In and out.

Seven?

Eight?

Wanna know how many
times I've been in jail?

None.

So you don't get
to tell anyone.

You better back off my face.

(scoffs) you think
you're hard, don'cha?

I want an apology.

I am not about to let
some old lady jailbird

Talk smack about me.

Happy birthday, mom.

Thank you.
It's beautiful.

No.

Come on.

Wake up, please.

(tense dramatic music)

♪

I've been found guilty.

I'm going back in,
miss marcie.

Nothin' you can
do about that.

Miss jojo,

There's still
your sentencing.

And you might go back in,

But how long you go back
in is yet to be determined.

And I think you'll be
able to serve your time

In provincial prison as
opposed to federal prison,

Which means you'll be
able to see your family.

If they wanna see me.

They will want to see you.

Has betty been in touch?

I thought she might
show up in court.

No, but I'll reach out.

We'll ask her to be a character
witness in your hearing.

She's gonna wanna
speak up for you.

You think the judge might
go easy, miss marcie?

Marcie:
On sentencing?

After everything that
you've been through,

I think there's
a good chance,

As long as it's reflected
in the pre-sentence report.

But everything I've gone
through has landed me in prison.

Once I get that
pre-sentence report,

I will talk to the crown.

And I think he's
going to agree

On a joint sentence
recommendation.

As long as he and I
are on a united front,

That judge is
gonna listen.

You just can't lose hope,
miss jojo.

(tense music)

(boat horn tooting)

Tell me you're
kidding with this.

I know.

It's absolutely
beautiful here.

It's a bit out of the way

But I should bring my
dog here this weekend.

Please don't.

You know this is
seaview park.

The land you're standing
on used to be africville.

Okay.

Right, so, that's what the
field trip's all about.

It's where my
client grew up.

It's all gone now,
except for this church.

It's not the
original of course.

That was torn down with
the rest of her community.

Steve:
Jojo carvery killed
a man, marcie.

I'm sorry she lost
her church, but-

No, no, she lost
her community.

Her life was
stolen from her,

And when the city took
her family's land

That was the
beginning of the end.

Steve:
Look, the jury
wasn't persuaded

And you know this sob story
is not gonna work on me.

Marcie:
Okay, but a twenty year
sentence, steve,

Come on!

After everything this
woman's been through?

What about reed izard?

His family?

What about what
they've been through?

Or how about the six
other violent crimes

Jojo's been convicted of?

Okay, she has ptsd, steve.

And the psych eval
will attribute it

To her time in
federal prison.

She was terrorized in
there by another inmate,

And when she tried
to fight back,

She was put in solitary
confinement for months.

Come on, she's on meds.

She's doing therapy.

That's very sad, marcie,
and I-I mean that,

But it's not my concern.

My concern is keeping
a convicted killer

Off the streets.

Let's just wait and see

What the pre-sentencing
report says.

I think if you see
jojo's life all laid out,

You'll reconsider.

I've already seen it.

But I...

It arrived after you called.

I-I read it before
I came over here.

I called half hour ago.

Steve:
Well, there wasn't much
in there to be honest,

And certainly nothing
to convince me

Your client
deserves leniency.

(marcie scoffs)

Well, thanks for getting me
out of the office, marcie.

I appreciate it.
I'll see ya.

What the hell is
all this percy?

You wanted change.

Oh, the realtor's
coming by tomorrow.

You voted for this,
colleen, remember?

Everyone under one roof.

Wait, you're selling
the building?

Well, there's more than
enough room for everyone

At clayton park.

(colleen sighs)

Nance, you gettin' this?

Nancy:
Yes, but neil-

Yeah, keep rollin'!

According to these bozos,

I'm not allowed to
drink in my own home!

Bottoms up, baby-

(bottles clattering)

Nancy:
Oh my god!

Nance, nance!
Police brutality!

Neil:
See how it went down?

Total lawlessness!

We got those bastards!

This video very
clearly shows you

Throwing a punch at
a police officer.

Doesn't change the fact
that they barged in

And accused me of drunk driving
with no evidence whatsoever.

Well, you look pretty drunk.

I was drunk because
I was in my own house,

Drinking to excess,
which is legal for me to do!

Assaulting a police
officer, however...

I'll plea to that, whatever.

But I'm not lettin'
this dui thing go.

My fans are gonna lose their
minds when they hear about it.

Fans?

Of my news site.

Plus I just started a
podcast a few months ago.

My subscriber base is
about to take off.

Cops don't know who
they're dealin' with.

Neil, it's really
not a good idea

To make your own
arrest a cause celeb.

Look, he's got me
in a chokehold.

Ow! Ow!

Nancy:
They're arresting him.

Neil:
Hey! Hey you!
You! Buddy!

Who's that guy that
you're yelling at?

Neil:
Police brutality!

Oh yeah, him?

Lives in my neighbourhood.

Shady.

Drug dealer's my guess.

(tense music)

Mr. Broward.

Help you?

My name's marcie diggs.

Jojo carvery's attorney.

Can I talk to you about
the pre-sentence report

That you wrote?

Okay, but make it quick.

I'm due to testify
any minute.

That report is barely
three pages long

And all it talks about
is her criminal record.

I'm her probation officer,
not her biographer.

Okay, but you,

You mentioned nothing
about her background

Or her upbringing.

Did you even talk to her?

Her sister? Her boss?

Jojo's been working in a
bakery for the last six years

And her boss says she's
the most reliable employee

That he's ever had.

She's also a 62 year old with
a rap sheet as long as my arm.

Look, I've been down
this road with jojo.

I'm guessin' I know
her better than you.

Oh, so you're saying that this
is your second or third time

Writing a report
for jojo and what?

You just recycle the
same half-assed document

You wrote back then, huh?

Bill:
You wanna go all ken burns
on the life of jojo carvery,

Be my guest.

Can you tell me what your
husband was yelling

At the officers?

Well, there was
some bad language.

That's okay,
I won't judge.

"why the heck am I being
harassed in my own home?"

He didn't say heck, but...

And what made your
husband so belligerent?

Well, neil runs
a news blog.

It covers local policing,
municipal politics.

He also has a podcast with a
steadily growing listenership.

He thought maybe he
was being harassed

Because of his reporting.

Avery:
Hm. Can you tell me how
long you were home

Before the police arrived?

Twenty, maybe thirty minutes.

Avery:
And would you agree that
your husband was intoxicated

When they arrived?

Yes but only because he'd
gotten into the whiskey

Once we arrived home.

So he was drunk
and pretty hostile

Right outta the gate,
it sounds like.

Nancy:
No, I wouldn't say hostile.

Neil just gets
worked up sometimes.

Avery:
Worked up to the extent

That he threw a punch
at officer james.

Mrs. Boyle?

Did your husband throw a
punch at officer james?

Yes or no?

Yes.

Avery:
Thank you.

(tense music)

Marcie:
Dad?

What?

What are you doing here?

Austin:
Just dropping by
to see my girl.

Say hi, get caught up.

Get a little legal
advice while I'm at it.

Well you caught me at
a really bad time, dad.

I'm just here to
get some files

And I'm heading
right back to court.

It's this situation
with your mother.

Tommy, you know,
he plays bass in the band?

He's divorced.

He, uh, he told me

He moved out after a
fight just for two weeks,

But his wife's lawyer said
he'd relinquished all claims

To the family home.

The judge agreed.

Are we really talking
about divorce right now?

Austin:
No, it's just...

I don't know, I could
lose my claim to the house

Because I went to stay with
your sister a few days.

I can't be the one who you
talk to about this stuff.

You-you get that, right?

Well, can you
find me someone?

Like a-

Like a divorce lawyer?

I need to know
where I stand.

Let me think about it.

Um, I'll find you someone.

Today?
-Yes.

I-I have to run.

Love you.

I love you, too.

(gentle music)

Michelle:
So this is an example
of the peyote stitch

From the
natoaganeg first nation

Ah, the man of the hour,

My reliably
late ex-husband.

(group snickers)

Michelle:
Bring it up.
Thank you.

And just in,
under the wire,

We have that sample of appliqué
stitching that I promised you.

Can you imagine the panic
I felt when I realized

I didn't have any
samples from eskasoni?

Well, no fear of me
telling anyone from home.

How long you here for?

Grab some lunch?

We're here for
another few days.

We?

Me and dad.

Your dad's here?

What brings the chief
to the big, bad city?

Chemo.

Cancer's in his liver.

Doctor's recommending
"aggressive" treatment.

Oh, michelle, I'm sorry.

He's being stoic.

You know him.

I do.

No, no.

Doug:
I'd like to see him.

Doug. It's not a good idea.

Doesn't he understand
that you and I have moved on

From what happened?

So has melanie.

Michelle:
Oh he understands.

He thinks we're both fools
for even talking to you.

Well, give him my best.

I will.

He'll be delighted.

(both chuckle)

Judge morrison:
What exactly is it you
think is missing from this,

Ms. Diggs?

Marcie:
Well, it reduces jojo
to her criminal record.

There's nothing about her
life, her job, her family.

Your honour, everything my
colleague is discussing here,

Ms. Carvery's background
and life experience,

Would be covered in her

Impact of race and
culture assessment.

Marcie:
Your honour, the irca
provided by mr. Broward,

A white male with no connection
to the black community,

Simply fails to
capture the social

And psychological fallout
the decimation of africville

Had on jojo.

The impact of being ousted
from her home as a child.

Why, because the city of
halifax didn't want blacks

Living on such a
choice piece of land?

I simply feel the
court owes jojo

A fair hearing
of her story.

Steve:
And we submit the court owes
it to the family of the victim

To carry out justice swiftly
and without delay, your honour.

Ms. Diggs, you have
72 hours to proffer

An amendment irca
to this court.

Any new information
that you find,

The court will take
it into account.

(tense music)

In
front of seaview united.

The original one,
before it was torn down.

Church was the
first thing to go.

The city had come in
the middle of the night.

That's how they did it,
house by house.

Must have been so awful.

Betty:
Every day,
another house gone.

My aunt refused to leave.

They bulldozed her place

While she was away
overnight in the hospital.

She didn't even get the
$500 they were offering.

They said africville
was a slum,

That's why we
couldn't stay.

But we had backyards,
gardens.

We'd get up in the morning,

Run down to the sea
and jump in the water.

Places they put us
were the slums.

Marcie:
Mm, you girls
look so happy.

Betty:
Jojo wanted to go home.

One day she just
started walking.

Police picked her up and
that's how she got sent

To a foster family.

Just like that?

Betty:
Social worker said our
mother was overwhelmed,

Said she couldn't
handle jojo.

She'd just had
our baby brother.

She was afraid
if she argued,

They'd take him
away too, and me.

And how long
was jojo gone?

About a year.

She came back and
got into mischief,

Shoplifting and such.

Later on, she took up
with some fast boys.

They were the ones got her
involved in that robbery

Where someone got killed.

And jojo was eighteen?

Betty:
Right.

Eight years she
was in prison.

That was what
really changed her.

She wasn't the sister
I remembered anymore.

That girl was gone.

Marcie:
Is-is that why you didn't
come to jojo's trial?

Things have been
hard for my daughter

Since what
happened to reed.

Lucy doesn't wanna
know jojo anymore,

And I'm just trying
to keep the peace.

Who do you think
might remember jojo

From before she
went to prison?

Might wanna speak
up for her?

You could try her lawyer,
anthony barclay.

He said jojo was innocent.

Would have done
anything for her.

Barclay?
- Mmhmm.

Colleen:
Officer james,

What can you tell
me about this man?

Right there,

Watching you
arrest my client.

Officer james:
Just a gawker.

Colleen:
Did you get a name?

Take a statement?

Avery:
I'm sorry, your honour,
but where is this going?

Colleen:
I think it's obvious.

This gentleman needs to
be on the witness list.

Judge paulson:
Well, if you can find him,
ms. Mcdonnell,

The court will hear
his testimony.

You crappy piece of crap!

Garbage machine!

Hello?

Hi.

Hi.
- Sorry.

Did you have
an appointment?

Um, I'm actually looking
for anthony barclay?

Oh, that's me!

Anthony barclay who
represented jojo carvery

Forty years ago?

Ah, that would be my dad.

Tony junior.

(train horn tooting)

Tony:
Amazed I found this
without harriet.

Her filing system's
a bit baroque.

You ever think of hiring
some help for harriet?

Oh, she'd never allow it.

Plus, she works cheap.

Business isn't
exactly booming.

Yeah.

Well, I'll spread the word.

I appreciate that.
-Mmmhmm.

Tony:
Okay, this is
the mother lode.

All dad's notes
on the case,

All the filings.

What do you need exactly?

Marcie:
Well, betty said
that your dad

Thought that jojo
was innocent.

Is, is there anything in
there that might tell me why?

Tony:
Police reports,

All the witness statements.

Okay.

This is why.

This is why right here.

(ominous music)

Wendell brown.

It's one of the boys that
she was arrested with.

He testified that she wasn't
a part of the robbery

But the judge
cautioned the jury

That the statement had
limited probative value.

I guess 'cause he
saw it as wendell

Trying to help out
his girlfriend.

(tense music)

You know she served eight
years for a first time offence?

If this would have just
been properly considered,

It would have changed
everything for her.

(seagulls squawking)
(boat horn tooting)

Michelle:
He asked to see you.

Really?
- Yeah.

No cursing, no yelling.

No screwing up his face
like he wants to spit.

It was just,
"oh yeah, doug.

"have him come by."

Did he say why?

He's facing the
end of his life.

Maybe the chief's ready
to let go of old grudges.

Let you come back home.

Wouldn't wanna
get my hopes up.

But what else could it be?

Doug, I think this
could really be it.

Percy:
All right, so just up
here is the lunch room.

I'll take you down to the
basement after to, uh-

Hey colleen.

This is rick,
the realtor.

Rick.

Rick says we can have
the building on the market

By the end of the week.

Wait, this week?

Wait, you're expecting
us to pack up and be out-

(phone ringing)

Dammit!

Percy, we really need
to talk about this.

My door is always open,
colleen.

Hey neil, what's up?

Neil:
I found him for ya, coll!

Found who?

Don't-don't call me coll.

Neil:
Our mysterious witness.

Same guy the
entire halifax pd

Had no idea whatsoever
how to find.

How did you find him?

Cctv footage from
the corner store.

He lives around here,

Figured he'd show up on
camera at some point.

Six hours of
footage later...

Okay, how do we
find this guy?

Neil:
Three doors down
from my house.

Marcie:
This conviction

Is where everything started
to go wrong for jojo.

Eight years in prison

And her sister says she
was irrevocably changed.

And after that came
the mental illness,

The drug abuse,
the alcohol abuse-

The multiple convictions,
the parole violations.

And now it looks like
she may have been innocent.

Well, she's found guilty
by a judge and jury.

Steve, the system is supposed
to rehabilitate people

Not ruin them.

What-what do you
want, marcie?

I don't have a
time machine.

Take this into account!

Okay, as long as you
return the favour.

Judge paulson:
Where's your witness,
counsellor?

Sorry, your honour.

I had a feeling mr. Mcphail
might not show up.

He didn't show a
lot of enthusiasm

For the idea
when we spoke.

Avery:
Your honour,
all due respect,

This is just a
delay tactic.

It's not for counsel
to determine the value

Of mr. Mcphail's testimony.

My client has every right to
have this witness' testimony

Entered into the record.

Judge paulson:
Okay, let's reconvene
this afternoon.

I'll send someone to fetch
the elusive mr. Mcphail,

And if he's not here,
we'll talk about next steps.

Thank you.

Did you have anything
to do with this?

That's aggressive.

What a liar that man is!

"oh, I'll just stay at emily's
for a few days, cool off.

"everything's just fine."

And then boom!
This attack!

It's just lawyer-speak.

I know it feels hardass-

You're in this,
aren't you, marcie?

I just gave him a name.

So you're on his side?

I'm not on anyone's
side, mom.

Hm. You tell him this.

If he wants to play hardball,
I can play hardball too!

My girls, they think I
should let old grudges go.

Forget how you made
my girls a punchline.

Especially now,
michelle says.

I gather you disagree.

Now that you're a father,

I wonder if you can
understand how you'd feel

If someone were to
hurt your children.

Doug:
No offence tom,

But my daughters,
your granddaughters,

Are almost fully grown up.

This is some pretty old
ground we're covering.

And I should be over it,
is that it?

Why am I here?

Because you owe me.

Is that right?

After all the pain you caused,
you're damn right you do.

I'm not going
to get better.

I know that.

I need you to help me
to arrange my death.

Help me find a doctor
who will assist,

And make sure the
process goes smoothly.

I wanna be able to do it
while I'm still capable

Of administering
the drug to myself.

Doug:
Sure.

Assisted dying is legal.

And it's my choice.

The girls won't understand.

What?

(sombre music)

You have to tell them.

Once everything is in place,
only then.

You can say nothing
to michelle.

You wanna come home?

This is how you
make restitution.

(sombre music)

(doug sighs)

Wendell brown?

Lord, when have I
heard that name last?

(chuckles)

Was he your boyfriend?

Jojo:
Oh, more than that.

He was a friend.

He wrote me in
jail for years.

Said it changed him,

Seeing me go away.

Never cared that
much about himself.

But he realized
someone he loved

Could be hurt
by his actions.

So he turned
things around.

Well it seems like
he's had a good life.

He's got a granddaughter.

A home.

He was always very smart.
(chuckles)

And a beautiful writer.

Oh, I saved every
one of his letters.

You wouldn't
happen to know

Where I'd find
those letters now?

Oh, betty holds
onto 'em for me,

Along with a few mementos.

What did he say?

Can you come home?

That's not what he
wanted to discuss.

But then what?

It was, um,
a private conversation.

Oh.

Doug:
I can't talk about
it, michelle.

You're kidding me.

You're shutting me out?

What the hell's
going on here?

I'm sorry.

You know what,

This is feeling a bit too much
like old times right now.

It's great to finally
meet you mr. Mcphail.

Clerk:
You can swear on a
holy book or affirm.

No.

Do you promise to tell
the truth at the very least?

(paul sighs)

What would you like
me to do here?

Colleen:
Your honour, we feel he has
relevant evidence to give.

Um, we'd like him to
remain in custody

Given the difficulty in
obtaining his presence.

Judge paulson:
Mr. Mcphail, we're
going to give you time

To think about
her decision

And seek independent
legal counsel.

We're here till 4:30 and back
tomorrow morning at 9:30.

Whatever.

You're the judge.

Sheriff, please show our
mysterious friend to his cell.

(doorbell rings)

So, what's going on?

I just got a voicemail
from your mother.

I think I might've
made things worse.

Marcie:
Dad, why would you
send her that letter?

Tony said it was in
my best interests.

Thank you.

Mom thinks you
declared war.

Well, he said we had
to come out swingin'.

Thanks, tony.

What you got there?

Some letters written by
a man who was madly in love

Forty years ago.

I remember that feeling.

Never goes away exactly.

Changes, deepens. (chuckles)

Lord knows it gets
a little bit messy.

But no,

That kinda love
never goes away.

Hm.

(soft ambient music)

Marcie:
That woman who you wrote
that beautiful letter to,

She's facing the rest

Possibly dying there.

Will you help her?

Percy:
Okay.

(phone ringing)

Hey neil,
everything okay?

Neil:
Everything is
definitely not okay.

I'm texting you a photo
I took last night.

(tense music)

It's mcphail!

Neil:
Our guy's back
on the streets.

I thought he'd been
jailed for contempt.

He was!

My brother, reed,
was a good man.

He didn't always
do things right,

But he didn't deserve
to die like that.

(door squeaks open)

Flora:
He was the perfect
older brother.

He checked in on me,
ran off bad boyfriends.

All he was doing that day was
trying to have a conversation.

She didn't have

Man came out of the bedroom
waving a hunting rifle.

My boy emmett
had a pistol.

Bullet went right
through the guy's neck.

We ran outta that house
screaming at jojo to drive.

And jojo had no idea
what had happened?

Didn't even know
why we were there.

But she went to jail
longer than me.

Marcie:
Thank you, mr. Brown.

Thank you, ms. Diggs,

For giving me the
opportunity to come here,

See jojo,

And tell you
how sorry I am.

For all of it.

Steve:
Mr. Brown, you applied
for a pardon 10 years ago.

Did you get it?

Yeah.

Steve:
So now your
record's spotless.

It's like that murder
didn't even happen.

That man's death
changed my life.

Steve:
You wrote to jojo for many
years after her conviction,

But you stopped
after she got out.

Why'd you stop?

We just fell outta touch.

Steve:
Did it have anything
to do with the fact

That jojo was almost
immediately convicted again

Of yet another
violent crime?

Assault causing
bodily harm.

Wendell:
No.

Steve:
Maybe she didn't seem so
innocent to you anymore.

And then she just kept getting
into trouble after that,

Didn't she?

I-I didn't know
anything about the-

Steve:
Why would you?

You were trying to turn
your life around, right?

Trying to make
amends for a crime

That was clearly
eating away at you.

I mean, that's the real reason
you're here today, isn't it?

To make amends?

Find absolution?

You may not be able to
bring that man you killed

Back to life,
but, you know,

Maybe if you save jojo,
well, all will be forgiven.

The thing is mr. Brown,
jojo never had your problem.

She was never bothered by her
conscience the way you were.

And that's clearly
seen in her extensive

And violent criminal record
that spans forty years.

Doug:
You didn't
return my texts.

I'm sorry about yesterday.

He's my father and he's
likely going to die.

I'm on a bit of an emotional
knife edge, I'm just...

I get it.

Michelle:
That's the rational part.

The irrational part is you
keeping things from me.

After everything
we went through.

All the lies and all my anger
at you just came rushing back.

That's not so irrational.

And I know he's sworn
you to secrecy or whatever,

But I'm the one that has
to cope with him dying.

I'm the one that has
to tell his grandkids.

I gotta get back in there.

I'll come with you.

I'd rather you didn't, doug.

Colleen:
Hey.

Hey, what's up?

I'm just about to deal
with this meeting.

Neil sent me this photo.

Our guy is back
on the street.

It's funny, huh?

What's going on here, avery?

Look, let's just do six months
on the dui charges

And we'll dismiss
the other ones.

He's an undercover cop,
isn't he? (chuckles)

Neil figures this whole thing
is a vendetta against him

Because of his hard-hitting
police reporting.

Okay, your client has
an inflated sense

Of his own importance.

All right, so this cop,

Probably working
some other case,

Must be huge,
maybe rcmp,

Basically blunders
his way onto camera,

Potentially
blowing his cover.

Idiot.

So, should I expect a
stay of the charges?

If your client can promise

To keep his curiosity
in check, yeah.

As if. (scoffs)

I'll, uh, I'll be expecting
the paperwork, avery.

Jojo worked six years in
mr. Mason's bakery, no issues.

He told me she was the
best employee he ever had.

Marcie:
So no drugs, no alcohol?

Run-ins with the
police during that time?

Betty:
No, the bakery
was good for her.

Things only changed when
her shift got moved around.

Jojo needs structure.

Only found out once she
talked to the psychiatrist,

She's got social anxiety.

That's why the
night shift worked out.

But now that we know
what she needs,

She can get treatment.

Marcie:
So you believe your sister's
capable of a productive,

Positive life?

Betty:
Absolutely,
yes, she is.

She just needs
that structure,

That support.

Mrs. Henson, if jojo
is released on probation,

Who is there to
provide that support?

Can she rely on you?

(tense music)

I...

I'm not sure if...

Judge morrison:
Pardon, mrs. Henson?

I-I don't know.

My family has been
through so much.

A man dead on my floor.

I just don't know.

Neil, it's too
early for updates.

We won't hear anything back
from the crown for at least-

Neil:
Colleen, I just got a call
from someone at the hpd.

A superintendent.

What did he say?

Steve:
She said she wanted
me to, quote,

"pay her a little visit".

Asap.

What's goin' on?

I thought this
was over with?

Ah...

Percy:
You wanted to talk about
the amalgamation timeline?

Colleen:
Neil, I'll meet you there.

I do.

But I can't right now.

Change can be scary, colleen.

Colleen:
Of course.

I voted for you didn't I?

The candidate of change.

Maybe this wasn't the
change you were after.

We'll have to talk
about it later, percy.

(soft tense music)

Petrie:
Don't worry,
we have it in hand.

Mr. Boyle, thank you
for coming in.

I just wanted to
personally apologize to you

For all the fuss.

Colleen:
Sorry, why is my
client here?

We thought it only fair

To compensate mr. Boyle
for his trouble.

Ten thousand dollars?

Petrie:
Consideration for any
inconvenience suffered.

And you want my client
to forgo a civil suit.

Petrie:
And we'd ask that mr. Boyle
agree to not discuss

The night of his
arrest with anyone.

Neil:
I have seen a lot
of police nonsense

In my twenty plus
years of journalism,

But I have never seen
anything this inept.

Neil.
-This shady, this corrupt!

Mister-

somethin', lady,

No amount of dirty cop
money will shut me up!

Ms. Carvery,

Do you have anything you'd
like to say before sentencing?

My lawyer,
miss marcie,

She's worked hard to tell
you the story of my life.

No one's ever cared enough
to ask how I got here.

Why I did what I did.

I think I learned as much
from hearing my story

As you did,
your honour.

And I guess we both came
to the same conclusion.

I should go to prison.

Maybe for life.

It's where I belong.

Jojo.

Jojo:
There's nothin'
outside for me.

I can't be like

Good people,

N
40 years ago, ms. Carvery,

Some might say you've had plenty
of opportunities to reform.

On the other hand,

That questionable prosecution

Does seem to have
set you on a path

That robbed you of the
emotional stability

Necessary to build
a decent life.

Nonetheless, you have
taken a man's life.

I'm sentencing you
to five years,

Two years less a day
in a provincial prison

And three years probation.

During that time you will
receive psychiatric counselling.

The system had a hand in
creating you, ms. Carvery.

You are a product
of our neglect.

As is, sadly,
the death of reed izard.

But that neglect ends here.

We won't give up on you.

We're adjourned.

Sheriff:
All rise.

You're out in two years.

You're gonna be okay.
