Previously on Burden of Truth...

23 barrels in the field,

and we still can't tie
it to Matheson Steel.

But our whistleblower can.

You want me to go on the record?

Joanna said that we're not suing you.

- We're suing the mill.
- I am the mill.

We all have ends we gotta meet.

You keep this conversation going,

I'll show you where you meet your end.

I don't understand.

I have cancer?

She said opposing counsel
called the meeting.

If it wasn't you, then who did it?

I did.

Joanna Hanley is hereby disqualified.

You've done a fabulous job
of getting us this far.

I'll take it from here.

That's unnecessary.

I've got everything under control.

[GRUNTING]

Thanks, guys.

What is going on?!

Grab a box and get comfortable.

What's all this?

The mill has been compelled
to show us their files,

so they cooperate by burying us.

I thought we were prepping Molly today.

We are. We have to do both:

prep Molly and find the needle
in the haystack.

Easy, right?

If only we had our third musketeer.

Shouldn't we have
heard from her by now?

She'll reach out as soon
as she gets her ruling.

So what's the needle?

Anything relating
to the parent company:

e-mail transcripts,
memos, board minutes.

We have to show that P and L knew

the illegal dumping was taking place.

Are you kidding me?

Oh, yeah...
Anything that's been redacted,

we have to petition the court
to have it unmasked.

- Every time?
- Every time.

Welcome to discovery.

[THEME MUSIC]

♪ ♪

Before me today is
the conflict of interest matter

for the prosecuting attorney
of Ross v. Matheson Steel.

Ms. Hanley, you better have

one hell of an explanation
for yourself.

During my time as lawyer at CTS,

I did not work on Matheson Steel files,

nor did I do any work
substantially related

to the matter before the court.
There is no conflict.

Furthermore, the Defence failed

to bring their complaint
in a timely manner.

By failing to bring their complaint,

they have effectively
waived their objection.

Use it or lose it.

Counselor Hanley.

[BOTH]: Yes, Your Honour.

Counselor David Hanley.

Why the delay in bringing this
to my attention?

I wasn't lead counsel
for the Defence until last week.

But you knew your daughter
was representing Molly Ross.

Yes, I did.

By removing me
from this matter so late,

it will negatively impact our client.

They still have
Billy Crawford, Your Honour.

Would your clients not be sufficiently

represented by your co-counsel?

William Crawford is a skilled attorney,

but Carver, Thatcher, Stokes

is a firm with enormous resources.

Even with the two of us,
this isn't a fair fight.

And the resources that we do have

are being squandered
fighting vexatious motions.

You're wasting Opposing Counsel's time

and more importantly,
you're wasting mine.

Joanna Hanley
is requalified as counsel.

Well, well.

Me and you back in court
together. Just like old times.

I'm here because you had me
disqualified from this case.

I've never given you special
treatment. You know that.

I think that you are terrified

of what the girls are going to say

and you're trying to sideline
our witness preparation,

and it's not gonna work.

[SIGHS]

Joanna, I was really hoping

that we could start
mending fences here.

- [SCOFFS]
- Come on.

Will you at least
have breakfast with me?

Please?

We've always bonded over litigation.

There's no reason we can't
do it from opposite sides.

That's gonna be a long road, Dad.

And right now, I'm kind of busy
with my girls.

Your girls?

Now you sound like Crawford.

- What's that supposed to mean?
- It means that he'll always be

Molly Ross's uncle first.

He's protective of her. He's emotional.

That's why he'll lose.

You think you can rattle Billy
by going after Molly?

I should get going back to work.

- I'll get this.
- You didn't finish.

I'll see you
at the deposition tomorrow.

Hey.

Look, I know I'm not
your favourite person,

but I was wondering if we could talk.

About my father.

I've been wanting to talk to you too.

When I told him I was having Luna,

your dad gave me an ultimatum.

I had to agree
to never contact him again,

or else he'd sue for full custody.

He threatened to take her from you?

He was bluffing.

He had no interest in raising her,

but I was a kid. I didn't know that.

He told me that what you had together

felt like love.

I thought it was.

I was young and infatuated,

and he loved that.

But that's not love.

He's told so many lies.

I just need to find the one

that will trip him up.

Is that why you wanted to talk to me?

Ask your mother.

I'm sure she has
enough dirt to bury him.

Yeah, I haven't heard
from her in over a decade.

She was supposed to come with us.

... stayed back in Winnipeg
to finish packing, and eh...

I never saw her again.

Maybe you should find her.

I mean, you know
where she is, don't you?

I'll do what I can

to help you take him down.

But...

the person you really need
to talk to is her.

[BOTH GIGGLING]

Where's your mom?

They're on a rotating schedule,

which means I never get a break.

They don't want you to be alone.

And I'm always
still here if you need me.

[SNORING]

[SIGHING]
Oh.

- Diane.
- Hi, Ben. Good morning.

Baby, did you sleep?

Yeah, when you weren't snoring.

I don't snore.

You must be hungry.

How about I get you one of those

tasty nutritional shakes?

Said no one ever.

Ms. Evans, can you take my dad
on a walk or something?

He's been in that chair all night.

I'm fine. You don't need
to worry about me.

I'd also really like to get some sleep.

Coffee?

Yeah.

We should start with named
plaintiff, Molly Ross.

- She's the weak link.
- OK.

She got some brain trauma
on the soccer field

a couple years ago.

A concussion.

Yeah. Suffered traumatic brain injury

that caused sufficient damage,

enough to differentiate her
symptoms from the other girls.

She only scored 10
on the Glasgow Coma Scale.

Look, it's an opening, OK?

We establish the brain injury,

and then we pivot to the gay thing.

- The gay thing?
- Yeah.

Look, there are

certain psychological pressures

to being a closeted lesbian
in a small town.

Stressors that may have

exacerbated her earlier brain injury.

Now, I think that we can

comfortably argue
that Molly Ross was suffering

prior brain impairment

from her athletics
and her lifestyle choices.

You know, I think we'd have better luck

focusing on the admissibility

of the medical evidence of causation.

Right? We argue Fraser v. UT Trucking.

This isn't a group grope, Alan.

You just follow my strategy. OK?

I just don't think that we should...

target a young teenager
about her sexuality.

It feels...

unduly harsh.

"Unduly harsh"?

You're starting
to sound like my daughter.

Alan, we're paid to win.

Nothing else matters.

Besides, we're not targeting

Molly Ross with these strategies.

- We're going after her uncle.
- Crawford?

Yeah.

The harder we go after the niece,

the deeper we get under his skin.

He'll want to protect her.

He'll push to settle.

It's unnecessary, David.

That weak stomach of yours

is the reason that we
lost certification.

They had a good case for certification.

Nothing would've changed that,

regardless of how many
girls we made cry.

You should've had a better argument.

You should've had
a better argument, Alan,

instead of mooning over
the Opposing Counsel.

You know what?

Get out. Leave. You should go.

Take a walk around the block.
Have a good cry.

Do what you need to do. I don't care.

But don't come back in here

until you're ready to start
acting like a lawyer.

And when did these symptoms
begin, Miss Ross?

Uhm... I guess around
December of last year?

All right. You wanna be
specific. December of last year.

December of last year?

No up-speak.

You want me to change the way I talk?

Look, if you sound uncertain,
they're gonna jump all over you.

[ROBOTIC MONOTONE]: December
of last year.

Molly, come on! You gotta
take this seriously, OK?

It's like there's something
wrong with everything I say.

That's what prep is for.

Look, you and the other girls,

you just need to get
your stories straight.

Yeah but aren't I even allowed to

say things in my own way?

Maybe it's time for a coffee break.

All right.

- Molly, take five.
- Yeah.

I'm gonna take a walk.

What is going on with her?

She's sick of being sick.

What was that?

Automated message.

Remind me to pay the phone bill.

Well, there she is.

Welcome back. Congratulations

on your reinstatement, Counselor.

Thank you very much.

All right. That's enough celebrating.

Grab a box and get to work.

I would've loved to see
the look on your dad's face

when the judge ruled in our favour.

Yeah... And I had an interesting
conversation afterward...

with your mother.

My mom? What did she say?

She reminded me that we may have

an ace in the hole
that we didn't think of.

Well, that is exactly
what we need right now.

I will be back by noon tomorrow.

- Where are you going?
- To Winnipeg to see my mother.

If they're going after Molly,

then I'm going after him,

and I need as much
ammunition as I can get.

What is it specifically
that you're going

to find there that we can't find here?

My parents were still together
when he brokered the sale

of Matheson Steel to P and L.

She might be able to give me something

to trap him with.

OK.

Go, just bring Luna with you.

No, it's just a short trip.
I don't need any company.

- Really?

Well, let's see what you have.

We're filing a motion
for summary judgment

on your claims against P and L.

If you don't have a case

against the parent company,

- then we're done.
- What does that mean?

It means, Miss Ross, that very soon,

we can all get back to our lives.

Alan.

OK. What is he talking about?

- He knew what I was gonna do.
- Just tell me what's going on!

All this time, he was
just keeping us busy.

It was an ambush.

♪ ♪

Hey. You OK?

I am doing what's required.

I'm so sorry I wasn't here.

But listen, I have...

Oh, there's nothing you could've done.

He had us dancing
like a couple of puppets.

"Us"?

- Oh, yeah. Alan switched sides.
- What?

He helped me prep the girls.

And he told me the exact same thing

you said about David going after Molly.

He told you the same thing

because that's what my father
sent him to do.

I had no idea what he was planning.

He played me too.

- Give me a break.
- He must've known I was gonna mutiny

and he used it against me.

"Mutiny"? So you torpedoed your career

because of a grudge against my dad?

No, it was...

more than that.

Anyway...
the motion hearing's in a week.

We have to win that
or we lose the entire case.

How was your trip?

Don't even think about it.

[BOTH LAUGH]

God, I was hoping someone

would come along and do that.

Wow. What's the occasion?

Life is short.

And good people like
Officer Owen Beckbie

deserve a little special
consideration now and then.

[SIGHING]

Something about you being in here,

Taylor upstairs, her parents worrying
about...

losing their daughter.

Hey.

I'm not going anywhere.

I think I know who attacked you,

but I don't have any proof.

Tell me.

Sam Mercer,

maybe on the orders of Ben Matheson.

I'm so sorry.

Let's not talk about it right now.

OK?

You should try and eat something.

You are so good.

Hey, I was thinking
about those kids of yours.

When I get out of here,

maybe...

I could thank them for...

the get well soon cards... in person.

Or we can talk about it another time.

- It's just...
- No, sorry.

I would love you to meet them.

But I'm unsafe to be around right now.

- I get it.
- That's not it.

It's just...

Do you remember when you told me

that you came to Millwood
because you hoped

it would be better?

But then people like
Mercer made you realize

it was just more of the same?

Yeah, but... I love this town.

I mean...

all my favourite people are here.

So maybe the place is less
important than the people.

Derek's been offered a job in Winnipeg.

It's good money, and...

the girls
need to be close to their dad.

Yeah.

It looks like I might be moving.

What're you gonna do when you
get back to Toronto?

It's not like you can
ask my dad for a reference.

You know, I'm thinking I might take

a break from the law for a while,

and...

travel or...

I don't know... learn piano.

Thank you for what you tried
to do for us today.

You know, doing
the right thing turns out

to be a lot harder than it looks.

Yeah, it takes a while
to get the hang of it.

Trust me, I know.

Well... you make it look pretty easy.

For a lawyer, you are a terrible liar.

When do you leave tomorrow?

Bright and early.

This time tomorrow,
the office will be packed.

How about you? What are you gonna do

with that letter from Mayor Shepard?

I don't know if I can deal with

another skeleton from his past.

Even if it can win you the case?

That used to be enough.

Well... whatever you decide,
you'll be brilliant.

Thank you.
