- I'm at the motel.
It's your dad.

[They found him in his room.]

- We think that they're gonna
charge you with manslaughter.

- Bail is denied. The accused
will be remanded

to the Brockstone Detention
Centre to await trial.

- Don't touch any of my stuff.

- I know you think I had
something to do with this.

- A lot of people were staying
at the motel, Shane.

- But were a lot of people
supposed to be staying
in that room?

- You're one of my best guys,
Owen, but I need to remove you
from this case.

[shouting]

- Are you gonna take the plea?
- You don't think I should?

- It's your decision, Luna.
- If there's anything
you'd like to say

before the Crown considers
the plea agreement...

- I am not guilty.

- When I ask you
about the murder scene,

focus mainly on the body, OK?
On the blood on the sheets,

the positioning of
the body on the bed.

Remember to speak
in bullet points.

It's easier for the jury
to remember. OK?

What was the accused's
relationship to the victim?

- Um, he was Luna's father.

- Don't use the
accused's name, OK?

You can use "the accused"
or "the defendant".

- OK.

- Were they close?
- Not to my knowledge, no.

She only found out he was
her father last year.

- Did the accused have an alibi
for the night of the murder?

- No.
- And there were
marks on her body

indicative of struggle?
- There were scratches
on her arm.

- Right, and her DNA was found
under the victim's fingernails.

- Yes.

- Officer Beckbie,

do you have a personal
relationship with the accused?

- Yes.

Her mother and I were together
for almost five years.

I moved in with them
when Luna was four.

- You love her.

- I do.
- Would you say

that this angry young woman,
rejected by her own father,

with no alibi, had
the motive and opportunity

to kill
David Hanley?

- Ye-- yes.

♪♪♪

- You know, my office is a
perfectly reasonable place

to meet.
- The concrete blocks signals.

- If Lovand tries anything,
they'll be in breach
of their agreement.

- Does he have to go?

- Technically, no.
Practically, yes.

It's the Federal Government and
the Security of Information act.

- No, it's Lovand.
This is their next play.

- They just want to talk to you.
You still have your rights.

You can go in there and sit
and not say anything.

You can bring a lawyer.
- OK, so you'll help me?

- I can't.
- Told you.

- My sister is
on trial for murder.

Jury selection
starts tomorrow.

I can't take on
any new cases.

- I'm not exactly a new case.

- Noah, I'm sorry.

Look,

here are the names
of two lawyers I trust.

They specialise in this kind
of thing. Give them a call,
it's gonna be fine.

[cell phone ringing]

I have to take this.

I am sorry.

What's up?
- We just got the list

of potential jurors.
Eighty of Millwood's finest.

- Yeah, I just have a meeting
with my boss and then I'm
heading back to Millwood.

- Sounds good. I'll get
started without ya.

- Why don't you recruit Diane?
- [That's a good idea.]

We're gonna need
as much help as we can get.

There's a lot of people to
research before 9 A.M. tomorrow.

- Then you better get to it.
And I will see you soon, Billy.

- Joanna!

Two, please.

- I thought we were
having lunch.

- This is lunch.
Thank you. Cheers.

I thought with everything
going on, you could use
a little self-care.

- That's not exactly
my specialty.

- I know, but you need to try.

Did you know that lawyers
are four times more likely

to be depressed than
any other profession?

- I did not know that.

- I thought it would give us
a more serene opportunity

to discuss Singapore.

The expansion interest
that I mentioned?

Things are really
heating up.

- That is great news.

- Joanna, I can only
imagine how difficult

it has been for you,
but there are some big things
about to happen for us.

Joanna, you're my star.
And I need you.

We're going to meet with
a potential investor tonight

to discuss taking the firm
international. I want you there.

Can you swing it?

- Of course. I will be there.
- Great.

And it's at Belpisio, so,
you know, dress to impress.

- Great.
- Where are you going?

- Just hoping to get a little
work done beforehand.

- I booked us pedicures.
Park it, Chang.

- OK.

- Get your feet up.

- OK.

- Finding good jury
members is not easy.

Where are you at?
- 48.

- Hey...

That's Brie Cunningham.
- You know her?

- Yeah, I helped her get an
internship at an architecture
firm in her senior year.

She's bright. She's very open-
minded. She's a definite "yes".

- Well, if she knows
Luna, she's a "no".
- You know who you can ask?

Taylor Matheson. She and Brie
were definitely on the yearbook
committee together.

- Then she's exempt
from jury duty.

Friend of a Crown witness.

- Taylor's testifying
against Luna?

- Yeah.
- But they're friends.

- They threatened to charge her
as a co-conspirator.

- They wanna put Luna
behind bars for 25 years

for something
she didn't even do.

She's such a good kid, Billy.

Shows a world
of promise.

- That's why we can't
let this happen.

- It's the same all over Asia.

No one wants to engage
in a trade war.
- Apologies. Joanna Chang.

- Tobias Koh.
- Tobias was just saying

how the current tariff situation
with other countries

is pushing international
investment

towards Canada.
- So Canadian law firms

with international merger
and acquisition experience

are suddenly very interesting.
- I heard that that's
your expertise.

It's why you're the only firm
I'm talking to outside
of Toronto.

- Back at CTS, it was
my bread and butter.
[cell phone ringing]

- Joanna helmed

a huge merger between a Canadian
and Taiwanese paper mill.

- Well, she was on the team.

One that also included

her very accomplished father,
I might add.

I'm sorry for your loss.
- Thank you.

- He'll be hard to live up to.

- I was lead counsel.

- Excuse me?
- On that merger.

The Canadian forest product
company had 19 paper mills--

- That's all very impressive,
but I'm not clamouring

to get a piece of Canada's
forestry industry.

- I hear you, Canada's
energy sector is a given.

We need to capitalise
on industries that
are most affected

by the recent tariffs on
American goods. Agriculture.

An international merger
in this sector

would position you to outbid
American competitors.

- Big words for
such a little lady.

Keep talking.

- This woman proudly
posted on Facebook:

"we need to embrace
the homosexuals.

They are sinners, but it's up
to God to punish them."

Sorry, Mrs. Jasper,

straight to the "no"
pile for you.

This jury list
is taking forever.

It's getting late. Is Joanna
going to be here soon?

- Yeah, she got held up
for something at work
she couldn't get out of,

but she'll be here
as soon as she can.

- I don't know how she's
still standing either.
- You know Joanna,

she copes by overworking.

[cell phone ringing]

Speak of the devil. Hey.

- Hey. How's it going
with the list?
- [We're, uh,]

about halfway through.
Lots of good options so far.

- Good. That's good.

- You okay?
- [Yeah.]

I don't know.

- You're tired.

- I'm beyond tired.
I feel like I am stoned.

- Yeah, as if you know
what that feels like.

- I really wish I was there.

- You'll be here soon enough and
we've got it covered until then.

- I just have an hour here
at the most and then I will be

[rushing back to Millwood.]
- I know.

Now go kill it.

[laughing]
- Thank you.

- I'm good, thank you.

[cell phone ringing]

- Sorry. I have to.

Frank! Good to hear from you.

- You're winning him over,
Joanna. I knew you would.

We're this close
to closing this deal.

- Something about him doesn't
sit right. I don't trust him.

- You don't need intuition
to trust his signature.

[phone chiming]

- Is everything okay?
- Yeah.

- Sorry about that.

Well... shall we have
another bottle?

- I vote yes.
- What about you?

Have what it takes to keep up
with the big boys, Joanna?

[chuckling]

[birds chirping]

[melancholic music]

- Morning.
- Hey.
- Morning, sweetheart.

- Diane, thanks for helping us
out with all this.
- Are you kidding?

Nothing a guidance counselor
loves more

than doing someone else's
paperwork.
- How's it going?

- Good. We've got about
a dozen jurors left to vet.

- Alright, we've got
just over an hour.
- Yeah,

to get there, get set up,
get Luna her clothes...

- Sorry I couldn't
make it last night.

- You don't have to explain.

You should
get ready.

Pop the trunk?

- Not that one.

It's not looking
very diverse, is it?

Eighty people were
on the jury list

and twenty of them
were indigenous people

or people of colour.
Where are they?

- Isn't Luna guaranteed
a jury of her peers?

- That's the goal. Defining
the term "peer" is the problem.

- The jury holding room is full
of old white dudes.
- We know.

- We're looking into it.
- We gotta go.

- We're bringing Luna
her clothes for the hearing.

- Sorry.
Lawyers only.

- Time for you
to go.

- I'll see you up there, kiddo.

- You might hear some pretty
terrible things in there.

It's your job
to stay calm

and to keep your face
completely neutral.

The jury is going
to scrutinise and read

into any
and all reactions,

so it's best
if you have none.

Tobacco
to keep you strong.

Good.

You look like
yourself again.

[solemn music]

- Alright. Could you judge
the evidence in this trial

without bias or prejudice

or be in any way affected
by the fact that the accused

is Indigenous?

- Yes. I can do that.

- No challenge, Your Majesty.

- No challenge, Your Majesty.
- Please have a seat here,
on my right.

- Next.
- We have our first juror.

- Next, please.

- Hi. Am I talking
to Justin Wabasse?

I'm on the defence team
for the Luna Spence trial.

Your name is on
the jury roll list,

but you didn't show up
for jury duty.

You didn't receive
a summons to appear?

OK,

and your address is 402 Birch
Street, Millwood? Yeah.

It's being held
at Millwood High School.

- Please state your name,
occupation and address

for the court.
- Theodore Denis.

I've got a roofing business.

I live at 437 Evangeline Street.

- He's not on social media.

- Nothing?
- No.

- If you could...
not call me Theodore.

I prefer
to be called John.

- Alright. John it is.

- No challenge, Your Majesty.

- Ms. Chang?

- No challenge,
Your Majesty.

- Very good.
Have a seat, please.
[phone chiming]

Next, please.

- No challenge, Your Majesty.

No challenge, Your Majesty.

No challenge, Your Majesty.

- Please have a seat.

- Challenged, Your Majesty.

- Alright. Mr. Miller,
you're dismissed.

Next, please.

Please state your name,
occupation,

and address for the court.
- Justin Wabasse.

I'm a nurse.

Live at 402 Birch Street.

- Challenged, Your Majesty.

- Alright. Mr. Wabasse,
you're dismissed. Thank you.

Next, please.

- May we approach the bench,
Your Majesty?

- Can it wait?
- I'm afraid not.

- Alright,
let's hear it.

- Your Majesty, we received
the jury roll yesterday and
the jurors who appear today

are very different than the
jurors who were on that list.
- How so?

- For starters, only about
two-thirds showed up.
- That is normal.

People think ignoring their
summons will make it go away.

- Sure, except in this case,
a very specific type of juror
didn't report.

- What my colleague
is trying to say

is that almost none of the
Indigenous people on that list

received their letter
of summons, including

the juror the Crown just
dismissed, Mr. Justin Wabasse.

- What are you suggesting,
Ms. Chang?

- With respect, we believe
there's been jury tampering.

- That is a baseless allegation,

Your Majesty. It does not merit

serious consideration.
- Do you have any proof?

- No.
- Not yet. But we are requesting

an adjournment so that we can
look into the matter. R v
Williams makes it very clear

that defendants are entitled
to a jury of their peers.

How's my client supposed
to get a fair trial here?

- Ms. Chang,

Mr. Crawford, I can
assure you that anyone

who comes into my courtroom
is entitled to and receives
a fair trial.

I take my duty of impartiality
very seriously.

Request denied.

Jury selection will
proceed as scheduled.

- Thirty percent of Millwood's
population is Indigenous,

and this is an accurate
representation?!

- Diane's looking into them
more. Let's not assume

they won't be sympathetic
towards Luna just yet.

- I grew up here, Billy.
There was a big difference

between sitting with my Chinese
mother and my white father.

- That was twenty years ago.
- People don't change.

I shouldn't have gone to that
dinner. I should've been here.

- The jurors we wanted
didn't show up.

We had no way
of anticipating that.
- OK, so we appeal.

- I don't know.
[cell phone ringing]

Pushing this further with
Connors won't do us any favours.
- We go to the Supreme Court.

Luna deserves a fair jury.
- Joanna, that would take years.

[cell phone ringing]

Hello?

No, I'm sorry. I don't care.

No, don't do that. Look, sure,
sure, fine. I'm on my way.

It's my brother.

- We are so behind.

OK, um, I'll come with you.
We'll work on the way.

- Owen!

- Ger, what are you
doing here?

Everything, okay?
- No.

Why haven't you been
to see her yet?

- I can't. I told you.
- It's a job, Owen.

This is Luna.

She doesn't have much,
but she should have you.

- I was the first on the scene.

I can't visit
the defendant in jail.

- The defendant?

- I can't do anything
for you, Ger.
- Yes, you can.

You think Luna's guilty.

- No, of course not.
- You do, I can tell.

- Look, the evidence--
- Screw the evidence!

This is our little girl
you're talking about.

- I'm sorry.

I gotta get home.

- I told you don't come near me.

Do you know who I am? Do you?

You think you can talk to me
that way? You think

you can talk to me that way?
I'm Shane Crawford, man!

- Sorry about my brother.
- I have beer!

- Bro, don't mess with me!

- Hey. Hey.
- Billy, you see that guy?
Where is he?

- Hey, would you mind getting
these guys a round?
- Yeah.

- Billy...

[mumbling]

- Sorry. For those guys.

- I love you, Billy.
Les have a drink.

I wanna have a beer with you.
Les have a beer.

I'm havin' a beer!
- Shane, there's beer
at Billy's.

Let's go there.
- Smoke show! Good to see you.

- Up.

[door opening]

- Just in case.

Just try and get some sleep.

Oh...

Sorry about that.

But we did get some work
done on the way.

- I think that was more me
ranting than working.

How long has this been going on?

- Let's see, how old
is Shane now?

Sometimes
it's better,

sometimes it's
worse, you know?

I think being that close
to the murder just really
threw him for a loop.

He's dealing with it
the Crawford way.

And speaking of which,

I'm gonna get one of those beers
you promised him. Want one?

- I'm delirious enough
already, thanks.

[cell phone ringing]

Diane.

OK, thanks.

Our juror, Mrs. Shaio,

she owns a convenience store.
Last month she was assaulted
in a robbery.

The assailant was
from the reserve.

Our defence is built on proving
the cops' racial bias.

They dropped the investigation
after 48 hours,

they didn't pursue any
new leads, suspects...

- But compared to the Crown's
story, which is practically
tied up with a bow,

we look like a couple of
politically correct whiners.

- We have to go over everything
again. Every interview.

Every piece of evidence.
- Joanna, we've already been
through the evidence.

And not just once or twice.
- We obviously missed something.

So let's do it again.

[door buzzing]

- Spence, meet
your new cellmate.

Hopefully this one won't end up
in the hole like your last one.

- You got the top bunk.

- I don't belong here.

I didn't even do anything.

It was all my boyfriend.

He was the one selling,
I was just with him.

I don't know
what to do.

- There's nothing to do
except stop talking

and let me get some sleep.

[crickets chirping]

- Weird.
- What?

- In Taylor's police statement,
she says

she never left her room
all night.

- No. No, Shane said
that he saw her

when he checked into the motel.
- Yeah, around nine.

- Here. Shane said:

"saw the girl that was staying
at the motel. She seemed
pretty upset."

Why would Taylor lie
to the police?
- That's assuming

Shane didn't lie, which might be
the wrong assumption.

What are you looking for?

- We missed it.
Shane said he saw Taylor,

but Taylor never left her room.
How did we miss that?!

Look at them.

They are gonna find Luna guilty
and she's gonna go to prison
for 25 years.

- We don't know that. We're just
gonna make the best of--
- That is not enough!

- It's OK.

- My dad always used to say:

"Never make the best
out of anything.

Be the best and the rest
will follow." I knew that from
the time I was, like, eight.

But...

but he was never the best.

Not in any of the ways
that mattered, and...

I'm just like him.
- No.

No.

[sobbing]

Joanna, you're nothing like him.

Hey.

You're nothing
like him.

I got you.

- Hey. It's Constable Beckbie
from Millwood P.D. I'm just
following up from yesterday.

Were you able to locate
that piece of evidence?

Okay. Thanks.

- Oh, it's ten!

We slept in.

[thud]

Get up, Shane.
Have some coffee.

You might want to apologise
to that bartender.

- Yeah, he loves me.
Don't worry about me.

Did I make this mess?

- No.
- Well, that's a first.

- Shane, the statement that you
gave the police? It doesn't
line up with Taylor's.

- I told them everything I saw.

Maybe you should talk to her.
- She said she stayed
in her room all night.

You said you saw her
in the hallway.
- Who said that?

I didn't see Taylor.
I never said that.
- You said you saw the girl

who was staying at the motel.
- Yeah, but not Taylor.

It was another girl
that was staying there.

- Describe her.

You said 'girl'. How young?
- I dunno, twenties?

She was staying there! She had
one of the motel's towels.

- So why didn't you put that
in your statement?
- They said they talked to her!

- Billy.

A towel was missing
from my father's room.

What time did you see her?
- I don't know. Ten maybe?

- Ten?!
- Nine? I dunno. It was
right after I checked in.

- OK, the motel should have
Shane's check-in time logged
in their computer.

- This is an eyewitness account
of another suspect.

- We have to get this to the
Crown before the trial starts.

This would be a major screw-up
for the police.

- They didn't confirm
an eyewitness' statement.

Imagine that leaking
to the media?

[car door closing]

- This a good time?
- Yeah, always.

- What DNA evidence was
listed in discovery?

- Other than what was found
under my father's nails?

- Was there anything else?
- A couple other things, but
they were all inconclusive.

- At the crime scene,
I saw Forensics

take a long hair off the bed.
They bagged it.

- You can't identify someone
from a single strand.
- No,

but it can rule somebody out.

I don't have access
to Luna's file,

so this conversation
is off the record.
- Of course.

- The hair is missing
from evidence.

I thought you'd
wanna know.

- Owen, do you know
who took Shane's statement
at the crime scene?

He's now saying that
there's another suspect.
- I can find out.

- Let me take Shane back
to clarify his statement.

- I'll get him.

Hey, Shane! Shane!

Shane! Shane!

Hey, Shane!

Shane!

Stop, come on! Shane, stop!

What are you doing?

Come on, we're
giving a statement.
- No, man, I can't do it.

I can't be talking to the cops.
- Are you in trouble
for something?

What'd you do?

- You can't know.
- Tell me.

Alright, then we're giving
your statement. Come on.

- No, stop! I can't be
talking to anybody, OK?

They will find out,
they will come after me,

and this time they're gonna get
the right room number, OK?

- Who? Shane,

Joanna's innocent sister is
sitting in a detention center.

We're doing this now.
- Stop!

You don't get it, man. I saw
something I shouldn't have seen!

- At the motel?
What did you see?

- Everyone has it wrong, dude.

You know how I always stay in
room number 127? I asked for it,

and it was taken.
- OK...

- They got the wrong guy.
They were coming after me.

- Who's 'they'?
- Everyone thinks that
the banker hung himself

off the bridge, but they
smothered him with a pillow
in his own bed.

I saw them stage it,
set the whole thing up.
That's why they want me dead.

- Shane, that's the plot of The Godfather.
You messing with me?
- Do you want proof?

I can show you. Let's go.

- I can try and get access
to the initial lab results.

- Are you going
to the station?

- He reeks of booze.

I can't let that affect
the Crown's judgment.

- Yeah, of course. Get him
ready and prepped and sober

and I'll set a meeting with
the Crown as soon as possible.

- Yeah, sounds good.

- Thank you so much
for meeting with me.

We have an eyewitness account
of another suspect
leaving the scene

between 9
and 10 P.M.

- So why didn't the cops
question this witness if
they were on the scene?

- They were questioned.
It was Shane Crawford.

- When a witness changes their
story, especially weeks after
the incident, it's not reliable.

- His account of the events
hasn't changed--

he just clarified
what he meant.

The police made
an incorrect assumption

that the woman that he saw
was Taylor Matheson.

- So you're saying
we've had an eyewitness

of a different suspect
from day one?
- Yes,

while another young
Indigenous woman

remains in an overcrowded
detention center.

- Wait. Wait, wait.

So, when David was killed

and I realised the mix-up,
I was just gonna leave town,

not tell anyone where I was
headed. Then I thought:

if I stay, the motel is the last
place they would look now.

I've been using the room
as an office.

Kinda like your home-work
environment.

After the murder,
I traced it back.

David Hanley wasn't
the first one.

It's been happening
for months, man.

I know, it's a lot to process.

It's overwhelming.

But I'll walk you through it,
man, every step of the way.

See? Mark Johnson was a truck
driver, lives in Calgary.

I hitched a ride
with another truck driver,

same route that Mark would take,
bunch of times a year.

And look, he's murdered.

- That's... that's crazy.

- I know, right? Now read this.

This happens two weeks
after I leave Deveno.

See? I mean, dude,
you didn't believe me,

but once you see
how it all connects...

And to think, man,
they almost got me.

I asked the front desk
that night, I said:

"Room number 127, please."
She said: 'sorry, occupied.'

And then... David Hanley.

[phone ringing]
Don't answer it!

Your phone should be off,
man. If they know you know,
they'll come after you too.

I just have a few more
pieces to figure out,

then we're gonna take all this
to the cops. I knew the girl,
Luna, was innocent.

That's why I've been working
so hard. To get her off.

We're gonna have to go
into witness protection.

You rat out the mafia,
you don't keep the same name.

- No kidding.

- Billy, finally.
I spoke with the Crown.

Tim is on a call with the
Attorney General right now.

- Why would you approach the
Crown without talking
to me first?

- What do you mean? This is good
news. Tim wants to get Shane's
testimony as soon as possible.

[When can you get him down
to the Crown's offices?]

- Joanna, you just screwed us.
Screwed Luna.

- Billy, this was the plan
when you left.

I don't understand what's wrong.

- You don't understand.
Shane is...

Shane's not well.

- OK.

We will look into
a rehab program.

As soon as Shane testifies--

- Joanna, he is not well.

He probably made
the whole thing up.

[I have to go.]

- I just talked
to the Attorney General.
- I know. I am very sorry.

- You are. OK. Great.

I'm gonna phone him back
and I'm just gonna tell him

this was just a false lead.

You're wasting the Court's time.
That's my time.

That is a stunning lack
of professionalism,

not to mention your arrogance
to think that you could
possibly provide

objective counsel to the
accused, to your sister.

- The witness will provide
a revised testimony.

- I should hope so.
Thank you for that.

And you will face
the Ethics Committee

as soon as the jury
provides a ruling.

And I'll tell you this,
tell you this for nothing--

Your gross negligence
will not sit well

alongside a guilty verdict.

- Hi...

I am sorry for not visiting.

The first officer
on the crime scene

is required to testify
as a Crown witness.

I knew seeing you would
compromise my ability
to be objective.

I see now that it was a mistake.

Luna...

I promise,

I will do whatever I can do
to bring you home.

I'm...

I'm so, so sorry.

I love you.

- Yeah, that guy goes there.

Along with that guy right there.

With your help,
it's gonna go so much faster.

I was thinking maybe you could
write a summary or something.

- Yeah. Yeah, I could do that.
- Awesome.

- Cerveza?
- No, I'm still
working on this one.

- You're really
nursin' it, dude.

I think somebody's
getting a little soft.

Cheers.

If I lap you again,
I get the Crawford Cup.
