God made you the perfect lawyer.

- I love you.
- I love you too, Dad.

- Do we know each other?
- No. But I know your dad.

- Gerrilynn Spence is a liar.
- I resign.

I don't know how much
longer we can be us here.

Molly, we became us here.

When Luna was born, when
she and my dad were together,

Gerrilynn was underage.

- You are the best dad I never had.
- I'll take that.

It's Gerrilynn's birth certificate.

You make them take
our settlement offer.

I just did chemo, Dad,

because of Matheson Steel.

I'll forgive you

if you just tell me the truth.
Just once.

The Court has in front of it

a $2-million payment
to each and every plaintiff.

- My client agrees.
- Court is adjourned.

[CHEERING]

This is over. I should go.

Joanna, you can stop running.

I got offered a job in Winnipeg.

Steadman-Lavery. I'm a new
partner, it's my first day.

- And your name?
- Chang. Joanna Chang.

[CAR-ALARM BEEP]

[SIGHING]

Call Billy.

- [CHIME]
- Calling Billy Crawford.

Forget it. Hang up.

Canceling call to Billy Crawford.

Left turn in 200m.

- [HONKING]
- [TIRES SCREECHING]

[PANTING]

Oh, come on.

What?

What?

MODIFIED MALE VOICE: Joanna Chang?

- Joanna Chang?
- Yes?

Do we have your attention?

[THEME MUSIC]

[CELL PHONE CHIME]

_

[SIGH]

- Ahem!
- [PHONE CHIME]

- Thanks for coming in early.
- I'm always early.

- The guy is in a panic.
- And he asked for me?

Specifically.
He followed Matheson Steel.

He likes how you stuck it to the man.

What does he want?

Computer genius. Child prodigy.

Created and sold his first app
when he was 12.

He grew up here
then moved to Silicon Valley.

Just go and see what the kid wants.

You hired me to do
corporate transactions.

Let me do what I love.

He asked for you and he won't
talk to anyone else.

Best case, he's the next Zuckerberg

and we're in pole position
for corporate counsel.

Leave your phone outside. His request.

Good morning.

You really haven't heard of me?

I graduated Stanford with a Master's

before I could legally buy a drink.

You must be smart.

So... Chang.

Why'd you change your name?

You quit the big law firm.
You brought down the local

polluting steel company
in your hometown.

I do my research.

Let's get back to you.

I am part of the privacy movement.

It makes me an easy target.

I'm a hacktivist.

A hacker for the good side.

Some call me an ideologue,

but I think that's a bit pejorative.

And your ex-employer
is threatening you?

Yeah. You're good
under pressure, right?

'Cause I got a lot of it.

It's an injunction.

This is serious.

Yeah, I created an app

and put it up for download.

It targets my ex-employer.

"Targets"?

- Yeah.
- OK, well, if they've filed

an injunction, you can bet
a lawsuit is coming.

So, you'll help me?

I need to look at the materials first.

We actually don't have time for that.

The hearing's this morning at...

9 a.m.

[CELL PHONE RINGING]

Crawford. Hey, Ben. What's up?

[PEACEFUL MUSIC]

This would be easier

and better for you if you had a lawyer.

- I've had enough of lawyers.
- Don't do this, Ben.

- I'm keeping the table.
- It's the last item.

We find common ground
on the table; you and Sharon

can start your new lives.

It's just a table, Ben.

It's not just a table, Billy.

I made this table. Made it myself.

You ever built anything before?

Didn't think so.

You just tear things down, don't you?

My daughter said her first words

at this table right there.

Does anybody know where she is?

We just know that she's safe.

Ah... I see.

Are you going to thank me
in your acceptance speech today?

Your award.

"Matheson Steel lawsuit
wins case of the year."

I like to think that I played a part

in your victory worth a shout-out, no?

Why are you still here, Billy?

- The town's dying.
- Millwood's my home.

You should have left with her
when you had the chance.

You know what? Forget it.

She can have the table.

I'll sign...

if...

...you can get this letter to Taylor.

- Ben, I don't know where she is.
- Yes, you do.

Come on, Billy.

We were friends once, remember?

Please, just...

put that in her hands.

For me? This will all be done,
I promise.

I talked to the owner.

He said some jewelry's missing.

And, uh, watches, rings
and a video game console.

Third break-in on Main this month.

Used to be a good town back in the day.

Mill closing hurt a lot of people.

- No one heard or saw anything?
- No.

It's good to see you
back out on the street, Sam.

[MAN LAUGHING]
14 feet right onto the rocks.

Yeah, never try to fix
your cabin roof yourself.

That's a lesson to both of you.

Yeah, so video game console,

it's probably kids.

Well, that means
it's not a crime then, I guess.

- Just narrowing the suspects.
- I know who I'd be looking at.

The gang punks from Willow Road?

This could have been anyone.

Stats don't lie.

Good people get through
tough times, this is different.

There's a camera outside The Boot.

If they took off through
the alley, we'll see 'em.

Beckbie, you need to go talk to
your people, solve this thing.

Breakfast is almost ready.

Thank you, baby.
I really hope I do better today.

You're gonna do great.

Lu, you helped win a
class action lawsuit,

I'm sure you can learn
how to wait tables.

Hmm! I'll order you a ride.

No, it's fine. I can take the bus.

- Why would you take the bus?
- Because I can't spend

my paycheque getting to work.

So then, let me pay for it.

Did you have fun last night?

Sure.

You didn't talk much.

Lu, I was really excited

for you to meet my friends.

And I think they're nice.

Hmm... You have a doctor's
appointment today, don't forget.

You know, I made it
to all my doctor's appointments

- when you were at school.
- Hmm?

Almost all my doctor's appointments.

Now that I'm back,

I just want to make
it easier on you, OK?

Babe, I'm doing OK.

Three months, no twitching.

And I am going to make

some space in the closet.

You need to unpack.

I got this place for us.

I know. But first, I gotta go to work.

You don't have to work.
I have the settlement money,

- you don't have to work.
- No. No.

In my family, baby, we work.

With an injunction hearing,
the court will look to see

if an immediate action needs
to be taken before a trial.

- OK, what do I do?
- Nothing.

What? I just sit there?!

Don't say anything,
don't do anything unless I ask.

We can't lose this.

You should have given me more time.

An injunction is too harsh

a remedy before a trial on the merits.

The defendant's
computer program contains code

which is substantially similar to ours,

a violation of our intellectual
property rights

No. Actually, the code
is totally different.

They are more
than substantially similar.

- No, no, they're not.
- Ms. Chang, control your client.

Of course, Your Honour. I apologize.

Any similarity simply represents

my client's unique coding style.

It doesn't rise
to the level of copying.

The defendant's program is parasitic.

Mr. Achari has created an app

that intentionally interferes
with our core business

and has caused
severe financial suffering.

We ask the court to compel him
to remove it immediately.

Yes, I see your damage
calculation in your submissions.

And you, Ms. Chang,
have made no submission

as to the business purpose
of your client's product.

We request more time
to prepare the submissions.

I've only been
on this case for an hour.

The court finds there is an
immediate and substantial threat

of irreparable damages.

Your request is denied.

Your client must comply immediately.

You should expect a "Statement
of Claim" to arrive shortly,

but swiftly complying
with the injunction

will mitigate damages.

[ACHARI SIGHING]

- That means lower, that's good.
- Yeah, I know what it means.

Once you take the app down,
we'll need to sign a declaration

of compliance for the court.

- How do we take it down?
- It's not that simple.

You can't do it with
just any old computer?

Oh, I can and I know how to,
but I can't.

You know what? The court
upheld the injunction.

- I know, I was there.
- You need to comply!

I'm the only one who knows
how to take down this app,

- and I'm not gonna do it.
- You don't have a choice.

Really? 'Cause I'm
choosing not to do it.

- They'll hold you in contempt.
- Great.

- You may go to jail.
- Fine.

You need to start
taking this seriously.

I know how serious this is,
but my answer is no.

I won't take it down,

and I can't tell you why.

No, I am your lawyer.

You can tell me why.

[JOANNA SIGHING]
Fine, here's your homework:

write down everything you
remember about working for them

and meet me at my office at 3.

- Hey, how was the injunction?
- Don't ask.

Well, there's a lawyer waiting
for you up in the boardroom.

Computer case?

- He didn't say.
- Maybe they want to deal.

Joanna "Chang"?

What are you doing here, Dad?

I came to see you.
What do you want me to do?

You don't return any of my phone calls.

Look, I've made mistakes,
and I know that now.

That's what therapy has taught me.

You've been in therapy?

Apparently, I have a long way to go.

I just wanted you to know the positive
steps that I'm taking to change.

OK.

- I'm working hard.
- Oh, you want credit.

It's not why I'm doing this.

How's the new firm? What do
they have you working on?

I'm not doing this with you.

Come on, Joanna.

There's nothing more important to me

than my relationship with you.

Look, you should know

that that issue in Millwood,

I've been cleared.
Do you mean Gerrilynn?

Yeah. The Crown's not
pursuing criminal charges.

There are some questions about
validity of her birth certificate.

Her parents didn't
register her right away.

They said they would
not hold up in court.

Really? "They said"?

I had nothing to do with that.

You know, we're talking
about a matter of months.

We're talking about a crime.

When I met her,
she was working in a bar.

- You have to be 18 to do that.
- So, that makes it OK?

It makes it a mistake, not a crime.

- Not a provable crime.
- [JOANNA'S DAD SIGHING]

I came here to see you,
not to argue about the past.

- I need to get back to work.
- What's wrong?

- You don't seem OK.
- I'm OK.

You've never practiced without me.

I've done fine without you.

Sure, you won the Matheson Steel case,

you beat me, resorted
to dirty tricks, but, hey,

you're a Hanley

no matter what name
you put on your door.

You should go home.

- [INDISTINCT CHATTER]
- [INDISTINCT SONG PLAYING]

Hiya. Here's your martini.

Thank you.

[CELL PHONE RINGING]

- Mom?
- Hey, baby.

Hey. I can't talk
right now. I'm at work.

This'll just take a second.

[EXHALING] They're dropping the charges

against David. Some bullshit
about your kookum not filing

my birth certificate
on time or something.

Which is a total lie.
I mean, I know how old I was.

[MEN LAUGHING]

Luna? You're still there?

Joanna, you need to call me back.

I don't get it.
My mom's birth certificate

says she was underage.

Guys like David get off with nothing.

But not this time. I don't know how,

but he's gonna pay for what he did.

He's gonna get what's coming to him.

Hi. Just gotta rev it a couple of times

before you throw it into gear.

[LUNA]: I don't know how, but
he's gonna pay for what he did.

He's gonna get what's coming to him.

[KNOCKING]

It's almost time for the luncheon.

Make sure you tell everyone
you're with Steadman-Lavery.

I'm having problems
with the computer kid.

You'll figure it out.

No, he's not listening
to any of my advice.

Well, make him listen.

Joanna, Great lawyering

isn't about the law,
it's about relationships.

Every client is like a child.
I know because I've got two of them.

They want what they
want when they want it.

You need to act like their mother.

How did you handle things in Millwood?

I had a good partner.

This is not a request.

You're well compensated;
I expect you to figure it out.

Have a great time
at the awards and remember,

let yourself have some fun.

[INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS]

[PHONE CHIME]

The Crown won't
prosecute unless there is

a likelihood of success
of a conviction.

It's in their discretion.

There's DNA. There's me.

I should be all the proof they need.

Reasonable doubt is a high standard.

It is very hard to get a conviction.

Can you please just talk to me

like my sister and not my lawyer?

She was a kid.

- What he did was wrong.
- He just gets away with it?

The law is imperfect.

You didn't want him to go to jail.

- Luna...
- Do you think he deserves to?

Doesn't matter what I wanted.
It wasn't gonna happen,

I told you that. I told everyone.

I want to hear you say it.

I have to go finish my shift.

How was the luncheon?

I didn't make it. Something came up.

Aw, that would have been
good exposure for us.

Yeah. Sorry, it's just been
one of those days.

Joanna...

you know, when I started
out in this business,

I was a disaster.

I was working long hours,

killing myself trying
to prove that I was

the smartest person in the room.

I didn't think
that I was gonna last a year.

And then, I got stuck in an
elevator with a senior partner.

- Oh, I had nightmares about that.
- I know, right?

No. Like wake up in a cold
sweat kind of nightmares.

It was the best break that I ever had.

After 10 minutes of horrible silence,

I decided to take a chance,

and I cracked open just a little bit.

And so did she.
Because up until that time,

I didn't think that you could be
a lawyer and a human being,

I thought you had to choose.
But it turns out

that if you want to be a better
lawyer, you need to be a happier human.

When was the last time
that you had sex?

Oh, Lavery, I know, boundaries, God!

But seriously, what has it been?
Like months?

I appreciate your concern, but...

- Oh, God! It's been years.
- I like things as they are.

Joanna, you need to let people in.

You don't even eat lunch with people.

- Well, I work through lunch.
- Exactly. You've been here

for the whole winter and nobody here

knows anything about you.

They know me by my work.

If you were to die tomorrow,
who would be at your funeral?

- What?
- Think about the pews.

Is it a big crowd?

You don't invest in relationships

because you don't value them.

Well, I play to my strengths.

The relationships are not the
problem, they're just a symptom.

You are the problem.
Joanna, you need to just

get out of your own way.

Show a little bit of yourself.

Someone told you that
there was a reward

for being the last person
in the office?

There is no trophy
for working yourself to death.

[SIREN CALL]

Boys, can I have a little chat?

Hey! Stay right there!

Hey, stop!

Argh!

[PANTING]

_

[PHONE CHIME]

Oh yeah, yeah.

I know these alleyways too.

Ran from my share of police
back in the day.

You know anything about the
theft at the Pawn Shop on Main?

Maybe I should just search your room.

Can't do that without a warrant.

I know your kookum.

Maybe I knock on the door and ask her.

It wasn't my idea.

OK.

We split up all the stuff,
so I can't give it all back.

Who was with you?

Come on, turn around.

Let's go. Watch your head.

Your lawyer bash over already?

Oh, I just got my award and left.

It's not really my scene.

Joanna skipped it?

Work stuff.

How's the apartment?

Oh, it's just small,

but I have everything
that I need. Thanks.

They were looking for a good tenant.

And your last appointment?

Um, I met with the oncologists last...
Tuesday.

They said all was good... so far.

I'm slowly getting my memory
back, but until then...

One day at a time.

So...?

He asked me to give this to you,
but I can't make you read it.

They just want to know
that you're alright.

- Did you tell them where I am?
- No. You told me not to.

You're the client. You're in charge.

I'm not ready to see either of them.

I'm not asking you to see them, Taylor.

You just said I'm in charge.

Are they getting a divorce?

Sorry.

The house is up for sale.

I can arrange to have your stuff
brought down to the city.

I don't need any of it.

How about I keep it at my place?

I know you feel guilty for
what the case did to my family.

You shouldn't.

We were broken long before
he dumped those barrels;

we just hid it well.

See you around, Billy.

Yeah?

Ugh! The old case files
from Noah's old lawyer.

- He had a lawyer before us?
- Apparently.

He said they just sent the injunction.

They have been after him for years.

It's cease and desist letters,
threats of old suits,

which were all ignored.

He really pissed off the wrong people.

- It's a tech company.
- Novatech is just a subsidiary.

Those lawyers today,
they were from Lovand.

- The defense contractor?
- Yes, but it's more than that.

It is weapons systems.
It's private armies.

These people overthrow governments.

- What do they want with Noah?
- Who cares?

Let's just dump all of this

on the sidewalk and pretend
we never got this case.

We can't do that, we're his lawyers.

Once we say we're in, we're in.

Look, I've gone up
against big companies before.

They love making threats;

they never follow through with them.

It's going to be OK.

Hey, Luna.

How's your day?

Eh...

Luna, your mom called me.

Look, it's David Hanley, OK?
We knew it was a long shot.

Why is it a long shot?

Why do all the David Hanley's go free?

You need to forget all
the things you can't control.

- Let it go.
- I can't.

You helped me last year,

and I'm gonna help you now.

We're going out.
Screw you David Hanley night.

Come.

OK? Come here.

[SIGH]

Things are changing in Millwood.

And not for the better.

There are people who are gonna look

for someone to blame.

And they always blame us.

I can't help you
if you don't help yourself.

You have to be better than them

because they're always
looking for a chance

to make us wear this.

It's not fair, but...

...it's just the way it is right now.

You understand?

Yes, Officer.

[SIGH]

Tell your friends everything goes back.

I promise.

Everyone stays straight.
Everyone stays out of trouble.

Tough times are coming.
This is your one free pass.

I-I'm telling you, privacy

- isn't a joke.
- I didn't say it was.

No, you didn't have to.

You don't value it because
it's never been threatened,

which is why I created
the app in the first place.

What if people could see
your Internet searches?

- Pardon?
- That's where my app comes in.

It's a data scrambler.

I don't know what that means.
Speak non-tech.

[IRRITATED SIGH]

OK. When a company tries

to mine your data,

my app takes your data and
sticks it in a blender.

OK. Pur?es it.

Exactly. No one is identifiable. And
the data they try and take is useless.

OK, but what's the urgency?

So the app goes down for a
few months, what's the harm?

A few months of an algorithm
churning endlessly,

digging into every secret part
of your life?!

Yeah, "what's the harm?"

Oh, my God!

You think that if you don't
do anything wrong,

then who cares what the tech companies

or government know about you?

Like you're always honest?

- You always do the right thing?
- I try to.

I mean, what if people knew
that you searched...

"Am I having a nervous breakdown?"

Or that quiz you took,
"Signs you're a sociopath,"

and - oh, God - you scored a "maybe"?

Are you threatening me?

What? No, I...

No, I'm just... I'm hacking you.

Took less than a minute.

Imagine what they could do
if my app came down.

- I thought you believed in privacy.
- I do. I was just proving a point.

OK. We are done for today.

What about, "Is my father
a sexual predator?"

- You don't want people...
- That is none of your business!

Exactly. OK, exactly.

None of that is any of my business.

I shouldn't know that, but I do
because you searched it.

You need to leave right now.

- No, I think you're...
- Please, leave.

[PHONE CHIME]

_

You gotta take a break sometimes.

Here. I stole these from the luncheon.

I'm not sure, but I think these are

what you call... tarts.

[SMALL CHUCKLE] I'm sorry I missed it.

You didn't miss much. Lots of speeches.

Really bad lawyer jokes.

It was like Little League
soccer, everyone gets a trophy.

We're gonna have to figure out
how we share custody.

One week on, one week off
just seems like

a lot of driving, so why don't
you keep it for the first year.

- You keep it.
- No, we gotta share it.

- Billy, please.
- We worked hard on that case.

- We didn't win fairly.
- That's not true.

- I don't deserve an award.
- We had them on the ropes.

- It was blackmail.
- They were beaten.

Can we... can we not talk about it?

How's work?

I have a new client who doesn't
want to take any of my advice.

Yeah, they pay you for your advice

and then they never want to take it.

How's your work?

You know, the crazy,
live-on the-razor's-edge life

of a small-town lawyer.

Last week, Mrs. Tidgwell
asked me to change her will

to include her cat.

You really should have stuck around.

You and I, we could have dominated
the feline beneficiary business.

I'm sure you have more to do than that.

How is it working out here?

I love it.

You need to get back to Millwood.

Ah, no, there's no rush. I drive fast.

I've got a long night
of work ahead of me, so...

Take care of yourself.

Bye, Billy.

Hey! Did you still want
the research on Lovand?

Want? No. But...

- Thank you.
- Yeah.

Hey, do you mind if I...

get out of here? I'm meeting
some friends in Osborne Village.

- No, of course.
- Yeah, there's this

great band playing, and I might
be able to catch the last set, so...

You like music?

Yeah, yeah.

I used to play in a band in law school.

It was called Strict Liability.

- [CHUCKLING]
- Uh-huh.

What kind of music do you like?

Ummm...

All kinds of music.

Well, I'll see you tomorrow.

Sunil, wait. Um,

what do you know about me?

- Excuse me?
- Nobody has spent

more time with me than you.

Just... what do you know about me?

I mean...

You know, not much.
I know that you worked

at that big law firm
in Toronto before this.

And you did the Millwood case.

You eat the exact same thing
for lunch every day.

And you're...

in your 30s. Probably.

You don't have a family;

otherwise, you know,
there'd be pictures of them.

In fact, you don't have
any personal items

in your office at all.

But you, uh... I've learned
a lot about the law

from you.

Thank you.

Yeah.

-
once upon a time

Did you come straight from the
city right to that bar stool?

Yeah, I had to do a buck 40 the
whole way to make it for last call.

- You know I'm a cop, right?
- Oh, shit!

[SCOFFING]

So, it went that well?

Can I get another one of those?

Why are you up so late?

Aah... Lot on my mind.

Take arms against a sea of troubles.

Hey, do you think I should have left?

Billy Crawford couldn't
survive a week without Millwood.

Couldn't imagine the place without you.

Feels like a lost cause,

trying to save something
that doesn't want to be saved.

I just want to raise my kids in
the same Millwood I grew up in.

Come on. I'll drive you home.

- [MUFFLED DANCE MUSIC PLAYING]
- [INDISTINCT CHATTER]

[MAN LAUGHING]

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

[MAN LAUGHING]

Careful! There's needles over there.

Sharps!

Check over there. Hey, are you OK?

Yeah. I'm just heading home.

- We'll walk with you.
- I'm fine, thanks.

We've got one of our own alone here.

We're just gonna make sure
she gets home alright.

We'll make sure you get home safe.

That's why Bear Clan's out here.

- You leave the door open?
- No.

Hey, stay in the car, Billy.

It's my house.

- Do you have any weapons in the house?
- Of course not.

Everyone knows you got
a big payoff on the case.

- Well, I don't keep it here.
- People are desperate.

Hey, brother...

- Shane.
- I'm back.

Yo, I need a place to crash.

[DOOR SLAMMING SHUT]

- [CAR-ALARM BEEP]
- Hey! Hey!

I was just going for a
walk downtown when I...

I'll call the police.

No, there's three floors of concrete,
they can't track us down here.

I just came down here to apologize.

I am so sorry.

Look, this is why I didn't
take down my app.

The code is a data-gathering
algorithm capable of self-learning.

It tracks subtle changes
to facial movements

to detect and pinpoint
enemy combatants.

It detects radicalization.
It was used by the military.

But it's been recalibrated
to detect anything -

political opinions, sexual
orientation, gender identity.

Lovand has weaponized it
and put it into a video game.

But that's just the R&D portion.

Once the tech is perfected,
it'll be everywhere.

Facial recognition software capable
of knowing your darkest secrets,

using anything
that has a computer chip:

your laptop, your phone,
your coffee maker.

It'll be inescapable.

There are other legal avenues

you can take if you want
to try and stop them.

No. This isn't just about privacy!

My life is in danger.

Then, you should go to the police.

You have no idea who these people are!

The only reason I am alive right now

is because they have no idea
how to take down my app.

If they did, I'd be dead.

I went home today,
and someone had been there.

Inside my house.

They want me to know
that they can get to me.

They'll kill anyone who
learns about their secret.

Me...

...and now you.

Joanna, please, I need your help.

You want to have a proper meeting?

You call me in my office tomorrow.

Come on.

MODIFIED MALE VOICE: Joanna
Chang, do we have your attention?

[NOAH]: Lovand has weaponized it

and put it into a video game.

My life is in danger.

Drop the case. You have been warned.

Why don't you let me go
