- The charge is securities
fraud. They're gonna push

for maximum custodial sentence.
- 14 years in jail.

- What do you know about
Northward Forest Inc.?
- It was a deal

that I worked on with my father
years ago at CTS.
It all crumbled.

- She's being set up.
- By who? CTS would only be
shooting themselves in the foot.

Who would have information
about this case and would
actually do that?

- The mine. Elise Mills
was a junior associate,

so she would've been privy
to all of the internal
back-and-forths.

- What about Dee?
- Dee's one woman.
It's bigger than that.

Stay on the boyfriend.
Keep me in the loop.
- Did you find her?

At least tell me
you found something.
- You know I love you.

- Can we not talk
about the proposal?
- I'm worried you might be

suffering from some
postpartum anxiety.
- Someone is trying

to destroy our lives
and you're telling me
that this is in my head?

- You are not acting
like yourself

and there are some very serious
consequences on the line.

- I am not going down
without a fight!

And if you aren't willing to do
what it takes,

then stay out of my way!

- It's an internal memo
from CTS written by Joanna.
- So what does this mean?

- It's not my place to pass
judgment on whether--

- She knew about the fraud.

That means she's guilty.

[birds chirping]

- Do you have her bag?

- Yeah, it's packed.
By the door. We're not late.

- We will be.

- You seen my keys?
- No.

- Ah!

Oh, come on.

[sighing]

- It's all gonna work out.

- We do not know that.
You heard what Luna said.

- We don't know anything yet.

- The evidence says
that I'm guilty.

And by the end of the day,
the Crown is gonna file charges.

- You always said you could
accomplish a lot in a day.

- We can't even get out
the door.

[baby crying]

- Milk's in the fridge.

- I'm good.
- You need to eat something.

- Maybe later.

- And getting up early is
a pretty good habit to keep.

You ever been to the Canola
Palms Motel?

- Out on 35?
- Yeah.

- The guys that hired you-- we
tracked them back to that motel.

I've had two officers
watching it all night.

- I never been there.

- Did you ever hear anybody
talking about it?

- No.

- What about that other driver
in the van? Hatcher?

- I don't know anything.

- I don't believe you.

Come on, Kip. I gave you a
chance. I let you live here.

Forget it.

I'll see you tonight.

What do you got?

- We sat on the motel all night.
The van never came back.

- Think anyone saw you?
- We kept our distance.

- OK. You saw which room
they came out of?
- Yeah.

- We'll need to get inside
and have a look around.

You'll need a search warrant.

- Matheson can write it up.
- Yes, sir. I'm happy to.

- Lay out what information
we have and what we don't.

- I'll line up a judge.

- Get in there.
Check their records.

I wanna see who rented
that room. I want a name.

- Copy.

Thank you.

[birds chirping]

- So this is the Opinion Letter,
dated March 15, 2014.

In it, Joanna Hanley
promises the deal

is financially and legally
sound. No fraud.

Three internal memos all written
and signed by you, Joanna.

Each one warning
your partners of deception

and fraudulent actions
by your client.

All dated before
this one. Not after.

- No, this can't be right.

- A lawyer's opinion letter
is sacrosanct.

Writing a false opinion
is the most dishonest thing
a lawyer can do.

- She would never do that.

- I'm just going by
the evidence.

- There has to be
something else in here.

- I haven't found anything

to corroborate your story.

According to what's in these
boxes, you helped perpetrate
a fraud and then covered it up.

- If she said she didn't do it,
she didn't do it.

[sighing]
[phone vibrating]

- It's the Crown Attorney.

- Do you think she's going
to offer a deal?

- With any luck.

- This didn't happen like
he said it did. I am certain.

- Then we'll keep looking.

- We keep going until
we know the truth.

[cooing]

♪♪

- Crown has made an offer.

No jail time. You'll pay a fine.
A significant one, but I'm sure

you can take a second mortgage.

You plead guilty.
Criminal fraud.

It's a good deal.
No jail time.

- It's an admission of guilt.
- A small price to pay.

- No, I can't take that deal.
- Joanna,

it's a gift. Be realistic.

- I'll have a criminal record.

- But you'll be at your
daughter's first birthday.

- I would be disbarred.

- If you turn this deal down,
they're gonna file

the charging papers tonight.
They'll set a trial date.

The Crown will ask
for the maximum.

Fourteen years.

You asked me
to represent you.

- There has to be
a third option.

- There is no third option.
I'm giving you my best advice.

You and Billy need some time
to think it over.

- This is the room. Room 9.

- Millwood police!
We have a search warrant!

[banging]

- What the hell?

- Do you think
she's warm enough?
- She's fine.

If you take the plea,
it's an admission of guilt.

- I never practice law again.
- You don't know that.

- If I go to trial,
even if I beat the charges,

my reputation is sunk.
Our firm is dead.

And maybe I lose at trial.

And I miss her life.

And no matter what I choose,

when she grows up,
she's gonna find out about it.

When she has friends,
they'll find out.

- No, she'll know the real you.

She'll know the truth.
- I don't even know the truth.

When I look at those documents,
I have no idea what happened.

There has to be another way.

- Their documents only tell
their side of the story.

So how
do we fill in the blanks?

- Your father is a genius.
We have to go.

- Kip. I came home for lunch
and my truck's gone.

I hope there's a reasonable
explanation.

[sighing]

- Thanks for coming.
- What's all this?

- Internal emails from
Carver Thatcher Stokes.

I still know the IT guy there.
- What's the plan?

- We're looking for anything
related to the Northward Forest

case that can provide a third
option. Reasonable doubt.

- We're going to try and piece
together what really happened.

I know. It's more of a plan
than we had two hours ago.

Here, for example: "Joanna,
Making Northward Forest happy
is the priority.

The partners and I expect you'll
give it your full attention."
- We establish

a pattern of coercion where
you were forced into writing
the fraudulent letter.

- Exactly. It goes on, and then:

"If you intend to make partner,
you'll see this through."

- Could be construed as a
threat. We can argue duress.

- "Joanna, I miss our father-
daughter time.

"Why don't you come by
for dinner this weekend?

We can discuss the NFI deal
then. Love you, Dad."

- "This deal is solid.
Why must you continue
to question everything?

You've done this your whole
life. You need to be tougher."

Sorry.

- The personal is important.

My father was a senior partner
and he didn't compartmentalize.
Neither can we.

- "Write the opinion on NFI.
Your indecisiveness is crazy.

Joanna, this is your mother
coming out in you."

- Maybe this was a bad idea.

- You held out
as long as you could.

When I read those emails,
I'm proud of you.

- A jury won't be.

A jury won't care that
I was pressured by my dad.

Maybe I am guilty.

But I can't go to trial,

because I can't
risk our life.

Maybe... maybe I have
to take this deal.

But then I'll never
be a lawyer again.

- That's a fight
for another day.

- I will be pleading guilty
to a crime of moral turpitude.

You and I both know
I'm finished.

- Room 9 has been empty
for three months now.

Even when you're busy.
- It doesn't have a nice view.

- People don't come here
for the view.

Are you keeping
a second set of books?

OK, look.

My partner's searching the rest
of the rooms right now.

If he finds anything,

it's gonna be too late to change
your story.

I'm sure times have been tight.

Maybe you needed the money.

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

- You know where the view
is really spectacular?

Millwood Penitentiary.

- Maybe the young officer

sneaking around here last night
scared everyone away.

- This isn't a good time, Hank.

- Maybe not, but you're gonna
wanna hear what I have to say.

- OK, make it fast.
- It's about that second set

of tire tracks
at the accident scene.

I found the vehicle that made
the second set of tracks.

- Hey, you go back inside.
I got this.

- Check it out.
- OK, what am I looking at here?

- It's the truck following
your client's car.

- A truck going the same
direction as her

on the highway isn't exactly
incriminating evidence.

And pick-ups are the most common
vehicle here, so if there's
nothing else...

- The mining company has a fleet
of white pick-ups.

- And if they did
run her off the road,

you think they'd be stupid
enough to use their own truck?

- Why not?

- You went and did this?
- It's nothing.

My buddy Pavel owns the station
out on 59,

so he let me get a
look at their security footage.

- Thank you.

- I know you're busy
with the baby.

- Um...

It doesn't show the side of the
truck with the writing on it.

Is there another angle?

- I know another place
on the route that has cameras.

Lots of them. Could maybe get
a look at the other side.

- Maybe later this week.

- Helen is running out
of legal options.

- You are our priority.

- Yes, and I have an excellent
legal team right now.

She doesn't.

She is exposed and the mine is
going to take advantage of that.

- I'm not just
gonna leave you.

- Billy, please.

- Alright.

Hey, I'll drive.
I'll drive.

- Nothing. Must have gone
somewhere else.

- I've been through all the
receipts and the bookings.

There's no paper trail
on room 9.

Even the housekeeping schedule.
9 is completely untouched.

- It's not your fault.
- I tipped them off.

- Someone could have been in
trouble. You made a tough call.

That's the job.
- So where does that leave us?

- They paid for the rooms all
in cash. It's all off the books.

- No. I live in a motel.
Every time you turn around,

someone wants a credit card.
- They kept it pretty strict
in there.

I mean, it's not like they were
springing for pay-per-view.

- Not the women...
- What?

- There's a second room.
There has to be.

You said it, "they kept it
strict". They.

They needed a room.
- Somewhere close by where
they could monitor them.

Room 10. Room 10 has a view,
and it looks like

it hasn't been rented for
the last couple of weeks.

- We cross-reference all
in-room charges on room 10

over the last few weeks.

- Got him.

- About three clicks down,
you hang a Larry, then we cut
along 10th line--

- I know where I'm going.

- Got it. I'll let you drive.

[chuckling]

- You know, if the mine
really did do this, it proves

they're dangerous. You shouldn't
be poking around on your own.

- I can handle myself, thanks.

Who taught you
to handle yourself?
- Mom.

- You look tired, son.
- I have a baby, Dad.

[chuckling]
- You know, when
you were a baby--

- I can't handle any memory
lane. Not today.

- Got it.

- Sorry. Just...
there's a lot going on.

- Yeah, I heard
about Joanna.

She do it?
- No.

It's complicated.

- Her father was a crook.

I like her, though.
She's a good one.

You know, you look terrible.

- Thanks.
- And the Crawford men

are very handsome.
It's our jaws.

- The baby's not sleeping.

Ever.

- You got a kid now.
Nothing'll ever be the same.

Price of poker just went way up.

- I might be able
to secure a better deal

if you implicate your father.

- I don't know.

- What do you want to do?

- What's Appendix D?

- Um...

I don't know.

- It's referenced in an email.
It's part of the deal,

but I didn't see it
in any of the files.

- What does the email say?

- "Joanna, do you think
I'd ask you to sign the letter

if the deal wasn't done?"

And then
it just says "Appendix D."

He punctuated with a question
mark and an exclamation point.

So, what's Appendix D?

- I have no idea.

- There was no Appendix D
in the file.

- Well, if it's exculpatory,

Elise never would have let us
have it. I taught her that.

- If there's a document
out there

that proves you're
innocent, we need to get it.

- Can't we just ask the Crown?

- If it's exculpatory,

we don't want them to know
we know about it.

- So we can blindside them.
- But we don't even know

what it is. Could there be
a copy somewhere else?

- Complete case files would have
been given

to each party's counsel.

This is our file.
The bank had one.

The local landowner had an
attorney in North Falls.

- There's a name
in this document.

Ingrid Worley. There's
a number right here.

Want me to call?
- No, I'll call.

I'm not gonna tell her who I am.

- Crystal. What happened there?

- Well, if you guys stopped
chasing me I could stop running.

Not as agile as I used to be.
- None of us are getting
any younger.

- You get demoted back
to street patrol?

- Looking for someone. You know
a kid named Kip Bellegarde?

- Is that the one whose dad
was killed by the police?

What'd he do?

- Nothing. I'm just trying
to keep him outta trouble.

- That's tough around here.

- You know how they are
at that age.

- Yep. Well, if I hear anything,

I'll send him your way.
- Thanks.

- Since I'm here,
you know anything

about a new guy in town,
drives a blue muscle car?

Greasy hair, tats?
- 'Fraid not.

- You sure? Seems like
the kind of guy you'd know.

We've got a warrant out.

- Can't help you.
- You always knew everyone.

- What can I say?

- Well, thanks for your time,
Crystal.

- Path of a warrior can be
a lonely one, Chief.

You be careful out there.

- Ingrid Worley
is still in business.

- We have a meeting
with the Crown at 5pm.

- Yes, I will be there.
- You have to make a decision.

- I have to get to North Falls.

- How do we know the files
will still be there?

- She has to keep them. By law.
Until the statute runs out.

- Then I'm coming with you.
- That is a long drive.

- We have to get the document.
There's a reason it isn't
in these files.

- What if it turns out
to be nothing?

- Then... I am out of options.

- You'll take the deal?

[sighing]

If we're not in chambers by 5,

the Crown will proceed
with charges. Then,
there may be no deal.

- Then we will go there
as fast as possible.

- Joanna!

- Yeah?

- Your baby.

- First stop, daycare.

- The weed farm, Hank?

- They've got cameras
everywhere.

- And you think they're just
gonna hand over that footage?

- Trust me.
Entrance is over here.

CBD. For my joints.
[laughing]

You know how hard we had to work
to get that stuff back in the
day? Now look at it all!

Hey, what's your problem?
- Nothing. Let's just see what
they've got and get out of here.

- Your problem, Billy,
is that you can't communicate.

You're a lawyer, you're supposed
to be able to talk.

- I can, I just don't want to.

- I'm here helping you guys out
and you're giving me attitude.

- Maybe I'm not buying this
whole Hank the Hero bit.

- My daughter-in-law asked me
to do her a favour, OK?

She never asked me for anything,
so I'm gonna do this for her.

You got a problem with that,
wait in the car.

Billy, come on.

- Hank!
- Roxy!

- What can we get for you today?

- We're actually here on
business. We need your help.

This is my son, Billy.

- The lawyer. We're compliant
with all the rules.

- I'm sure you are.

- My son and his firm are
taking on the gold mine.

Trying to shut it down.
- Good luck with that.

- They do real David
and Goliath type cases.

Defenders of the people
type stuff.

They've got the mine on the run.

- We represent a woman who lives
up the road from here.

- Helen Graham.
- Yes.

- Yeah, I know Helen.

I heard about the accident.
How's she doing?

- Not great, I'm afraid.

- We think one of the mining
trucks ran her off the road.

- We don't have proof
for that yet.

But it might help to get a look
at your security footage.

- I'm really not supposed to.

- Roxy, if they did that to her,

that means none of these roads
are safe for any of us.

- Give me a sec.

- Anything might help.

It was Monday afternoon
around 3pm.

- We have cameras in each
direction, so if they passed us,

we'll know.
- It's a small grey SUV.

- Is that it?

- That's the truck! Do you think
you can get another angle?

- I think we can make out
that plate.
- It's partial.

- So, Nevin, huh?

You like working for him?

- He's OK.

- But he's recruiting you,
right? To Waldercott?

That's a pretty
good firm.

- I'm just not sure what
direction I want to go.

- What are you thinking?
We can talk it through.

- The only thing I know
about life at a big firm

is that you ran away.

- My situation was
very different.

It would be a great way
to start your career.

It would open up
a lot of opportunities.

What does your girlfriend think?
You stopped returning my calls.

I know
there's someone.

- Stevie thinks I should go
to Waldercott.

- Stevie.
- It's nothing!

I mean, it's something.
But it's nothing.

It's nothing, OK?
- OK, OK.

- There she is.

- Look at that.

- There has to be a sign-out
sheet. Some way to find out
who was driving.

- Can I help you gentlemen?

- Hey!

I'm Billy Crawford,
this is my dad Hank.

- This is private property.
- Right.

Listen, we had a little fender
bender with one of your trucks.

I drove off without
leaving a note.

- He's been feeling terrible
about it ever since. I raised
him better than that.

- Any chance you'd be able
to tell me who was driving?

I'd like to apologize.

- I don't handle the drivers so
unfortunately I can't help you.

- You must have a list
of truck assignments.

- You're welcome to leave
your contact information.

- Thing is, I'd hate for someone
to spot the damage

and then blame whoever was
driving because it was my fault.

- Our employees' privacy
is protected by the Mine
Workers' Union.

I'm sure you understand.
- Listen, Jim,

I shouldn't have driven off.
I just wanna make things right.
If you could give me a name...

- Sorry, pal. No can do.
- You heard the man, Billy.
C'mon.

Sorry, he's a handful.

Security check-in sheet
for the trucks.

- It's a ghost town.
Did you do this?

- This is happening
in small towns everywhere.

Hi.
- Can I help?

- Uh, yes. I called earlier

with a question about
the Northward Forest deal.

- That was the hardest case
I've ever worked on.

This town
still hasn't recovered.

What do you wanna
know about it?

- Um...

we're in a bit of a time crunch.

If we could get a look
at those files...

- Let me show you what I've got.
- Thanks.

- Kip, I'm starting to worry.

Call me or text me to let me
know you're alright.

[knocking]
What'd you got?

- No trace of the women
found inside.

- But we think we found a room
where they were being kept.

- Probably got tipped off.

- Everything
was paid in cash,

there was no trace
of anyone or any names.

Except...
we found another room.

- A handler?
- Yeah. Also completely
off the books.

But someone used their credit
card to order a movie.

Card belonged to the driver
we arrested last week.
- Eddy Hatcher.

[sighing]
This isn't evidence of a crime.

This only places him
in a motel room.

- Well, in sight of the room

where the women were
being kept prisoner.

- But we didn't find
the women.

- Boss, it's a good lead.
- But it's just a lead.

We can't charge him.
We can't arrest him.

It's ordering a movie.

- The Petty Trespasses Act.

He never rented the room,
but he was in there.

We could arrest him
for Criminal Trespass.

- It'd be enough
to bring him in.

- Go find him.

- Is it serious?
With Stevie?

- I don't know if I want
to end up with another lawyer.

No offense.
- None taken.

It's not that bad. The arguments
are always very lively.

And well-articulated.

- She's different than anyone
I've ever dated.

She challenges me.
Makes me better.

- I'm sure she feels
the same way about you.

Here it is. Appendix D.

- What is it?
- It's a Letter of Intent.

- What's that?

- It's from the seller,

assuring the sale
to Northward Forest

once their financing
went through.

Right. Northward Forest

needed my Opinion Letter
to secure that financing,
but I didn't want

to write it until the deal
had been finalised.

This Letter of Intent--
it was our guarantee

that the sale would go through.

- But it wasn't a guarantee,
was it?

I knew you looked familiar.
- Deals fall apart all the time.

- Your client stole everything
from this town and you helped
him do it.

- I didn't know.
- You should have known.
It was your job.

You should be ashamed
of yourself.

- I know you're upset,
but we're in a hurry.
- We came all this way

to find a document
that says you did it.
- No. It says

that it's unclear who's at
fault. This is reasonable doubt.

It'll never get a conviction.
- Take the plea.

- Luna--
- Take responsibility
for what you did.

- This is complicated.
- Don't.

Don't tell me
I don't understand.

I considered taking a plea

when I was accused
of killing our father.

- I have a daughter.
- And I was innocent.

- There's so much at stake.

- I was facing life in prison.

- Luna, if we don't
leave right now,

my child could grow up
without her mother.
- You mean the child

you almost left behind? The one
you haven't even named yet?

- Farrell Jackson.
- I know him.

He used to work
at Matheson Steel.

I gotta get that to Beckbie.
[chuckling]

It's still not proof.
- Oh, come on!

We found our guy.
You'll connect the dots.

What's going on, kid?

- We don't have that,
you and me, OK?

- Just say it, Billy. You like
it when I'm the bad guy.

Yeah, but right now,
you're being the jerk.

What? Open your mouth
if you have an opinion.

- If it's so easy, why couldn't
you have quit for us?

- So now I'm in trouble
for getting sober.
- No, I'm glad you sobered up

to be a grandfather, but do you
have to make it look so easy?

We waited our whole
lives for you.

- I want to drink
every second of every day.

The sleepless nights, the
constant crying... One minute

you're a guy with freedom
and then... it's over.

It can wear you down.

It's easy to pour yourself
an extra big drink at night.
- I love being a dad.

- Yeah. But it's changed you.
You're not yourself.

- I'm doing my best. Joanna's
having a hard time. It's tough.

- You worry about something
happening to her.

Your mom died and left me alone
with all of you. I'm sure
that scares you.

I get it. You think
she's your meal ticket.

Like if something happens to her
you're gonna end up like me.

Joanna's a fine person,
but from what I see,

you're a bigger part of her
success than she is of yours.

- There's Helen's car, and see?
There's the truck.

I got a picture

of the truck's bumper.

There's a scratch
and some paint transfer.

- You ever want to quit the law,
I'd be happy to hire you.

- Well, you'd have to hire Hank.
Much as I hate to admit it,

this was all him. The sign-out
sheet shows the driver
was Farrell Jackson.

- Farrell? Well, this will be
enough to bring him in.

How're you holding up?

- Good.

- I want you to make a Motion
to Dismiss the charges.

- Based on Intent? It's flimsy.

- It proves that all parties
planned to close

when I wrote my
opinion. Fraud requires intent.

This disproves intent.
- Doesn't disprove it.

- Well, it makes it unclear.
- You promised a bank

that your client owned land
it didn't own. I'm not sure
how that's unclear.

- The Letter of Intent shows
that I may have acted recklessly

but not willfully.
Both sides planned to close.
That is our opening.

That's the best we have.
- Maybe at least we can
leverage the Crown

into a better deal.
- If charges are filed,
regardless of the outcome,

my career is over.

I need the charges dropped.

- Where are we
on the plea agreement?

- New evidence has come to light

and we put forward a motion
to dismiss the charges.

- We haven't seen
any new evidence.

I thought we had
a plea in place.
- Mr. Page?

- Appendix D to the financial
deal that's at the centre

of the criminal indictment.
When the Feds received

the anonymous documents,
this item was deliberately
removed from the case files

for the very reason we are
introducing it now:

it makes the accused's
intent unclear.

- It's hardly exculpatory,
Mr. Page.

- We concede
it does not prove innocence.

But that's not our burden.

It is the Crown's responsibility
to prove the crime of Fraud,

which requires intent
to commit fraud. Ms. Chang

had no such intention. Had the
Feds received the case files
in their entirety, we believe

they would not have brought
the charges against her.
The Feds, the Crown

and this court have been
deliberately deceived.
- Is that so?

- With this piece of paper, they
would certainly have at least
questioned Ms. Chang

prior to arresting her.
And if given the chance

to explain herself, we would
not all be here today.
- We have sufficient evidence

to go ahead and proceed
with charges, Your Honour.

- But there's no chance of
success on the merits at trial.
- We are talking about

a multi-million dollar financial
swindle that Ms. Chang--
- You can't prove intent,

so you can't prove fraud no
matter what you think she did.

- Who knows what else we'll
uncover about Ms. Chang?
- You are a Crown,

not an investigator. You only
have the case in front of you.

Pursuing these charges would be
a waste of the court's resources
and a violation of your oath.

- We'll have a 30-minute recess.

[drawer slams shut]

- Where've you been?
- I washed the car.

- Where? In Saskatoon?

You stole my car.
What am I supposed to do?

- I should have asked.
- Yeah.

You should have asked.

- I wanted to make it right
with you. Now we're square.

- So you took my car?

Keep your nose clean.

That's all I ask.

What did you do?

- I heard there was
a run going down.

And I knew where they were gonna
be, so I followed them.

- Kip--
- Don't worry, nobody saw me.

Look!

Hatcher was driving the van.

I even got pictures of him
doing the hand-off.

They're good, right?

- Yeah. They're good.

What's this?

- I followed them there after
the drop. They went into that
house and they didn't come out,

so I came here.

Is that important?

- Maybe.

Same hoodie.
That's gotta be her.

You did good.

But you shouldn't have done it.

[sighing]

- You OK?

- She should've taken
the deal.

She knew
what she was doing.

- We're here
to provide counsel

and advocate for our clients,
no matter what they've done.

- That isn't good enough.

- Joanna may not be innocent,

but is she so guilty she
deserves to go to jail?

- You didn't see that town.

- And it took a lot of different
people doing terrible things.

Joanna was just one of them.

If you don't want
to come and work for me,

I'll understand.

- It's not you.

- I respect your dedication
to the North End Legal Centre.

They're lucky
to have you.

I'll have other chances
to try and hire you.

Don't lose that feeling.

It'll serve you well.
Wherever you end up.

- Beckbie's bringing him in.

He's going to charge him.
- Farrell Jackson.
I know that name.

Was Hank OK today?

- Yeah.

Yeah, no big deal.

- Ms. Chang, you have been
accused of perpetrating

a fraudulent financial
transaction that had devastating
economic consequences.

However, I question whether
there is sufficient evidence

of the necessary
mental culpability.

It is clear this matter would be
unsuccessful at trial.

I'm granting your motion, and
you are therefore free to go.

However, this is not
a complete victory,

Ms. Chang.
I find your conduct

unbecoming a lawyer.

You have failed to carry out
the practice

of law with integrity.

Your actions may not have risen
to the level of criminality,

but it is my decision

to refer you to the Bar
Association's disciplinary
committee.

They can decide if you deserve
to continue to practice law.

[birds chirping]

- I haven't been here
since high school.

You do realise
it's freezing, right?

- I just needed a break
from the motel.

From motels, generally.

- Maybe it's time to get a place
of your own.

- I'm not ready
to lay roots yet.

- OK.

- So what happened with Joanna?
- She was bullied into it,

but she's guilty.
The charges were dropped.

White collar. They get away
with everything.

- Not just white collar.
- The criminal statutes

were written mostly by people
who intended to break them.

Lots of loopholes.
- That's a seriously
depressing take.

- Law school messes
with your head.

- So, policing doesn't work...
turns out the legal system's
full of loopholes.

Maybe we just need to team up
together, bring it all down.

- Yeah. Can we do it tomorrow?
My feet are freezing.

[laughing]

I've missed you.

I worry about you. Alone.

- Don't. I like my job.

I think I can be good at it.

- Can you live here?
In Millwood?

- Uh...

What about you next year?

- I like Nevin.

His firm's impressive.

But I got lost
at his lake house.

On my way back
from the bathroom.

Is that even possible?

- You don't have
to buy a lake house.

You could buy me a lake house.

- Huh!

Let's go. I'm cold.

- All of those years
out on my own...

It could've been me in the back
of that van, you know?

- I saw a For Rent sign
on Maple.

- Oh yeah?
- We could check it out.

- Uh... I don't know.
- Yeah!

- All I ever wanted
was to be a lawyer.

- It's just a referral to
the disciplinary committee.

- I could be disbarred.
We have to accept that.

There are lots of
other things I could do.

[laughing]

I have managed to screw up

every area of my life in
a very short period of time.

- Yeah, it's been a rough patch.
- Yeah.

- I'm sorry about the marriage
proposal. I wasn't thinking.

I just...

didn't want my mother's ring
in the back of Hank's shed.

Now it can be
in the back of our shed.

- Billy, your mom would be
so proud of you.

Everyone said
parenting was hard.

But they said the Bar Exam
was hard and it wasn't.

But this is hard.

- I love our daughter, but...

There are some times,
just for a second,

I miss it being just us.

I have been
so worried about you,

but I don't think
I have it together.

[sighing]

I just thought
it would get easier.

- The mine is coming
after Helen's land, our
injunction is running out,

and I'm facing disbarment.
It's just too many things.

- I think we're in trouble.

- You a movie guy, Eddy?

Who's got the time, right?
- I got nothing to say.

- Must've been tough for you
in that motel room.

All by yourself.

This movie was purchased
by your credit card.

Was that you?
- I don't know what
you're talking about.

- This puts you in the motel.
Right across the way.

You can see room 9
from the window. But I know

you didn't come up with all of
this on your own. You're taking
orders from someone.

- I want my phone call.
- I always thought you were a
good guy who just never got

any breaks. Sex Trafficking.
That's 14 years.

And you'll do them all.
The boys at Stony Mountain

are really gonna enjoy
having you around.

Gimme a name and
I'll go to bat for you.

This is a one-time offer, Eddy.

14 years becomes 25.

I'm sure they'd be happy
to let you take the fall.

You're done, Eddy. This is it.

Your life comes down
to this one moment.

Who're you working for?

- We answer to Aunty Meth.

- A name, Eddy.
- Aunty Meth-- Crystal.

As in Crystal Meth,
don't you get it?

- Crystal?
- Crystal Chartrand.
