Burden of Truth (2018–…): Season 4, Episode 6 - The Homecoming - full transcript

Oh! Kip.

Anything big happen
while I was away?

We are reopening a dormant mine,
an extensive and thorough

environmental study
was previously completed.

In 1982.
A lot has changed.

We had 30 days
on that injunction.

The mine has savvy lawyers too.

Dee you can stay
here if you want.

What I really need is cash,
a fresh start.

Then let's get you
a fresh start.

Okay.



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.

We raided a house yesterday

and found someone
you were looking for.

Hey.
It's your client's daughter.

Samantha Roy.

Did you get any sleep?

We were up at 4:30.

- For good?
- Pretty much.

- Oh, I'm sorry.
- That's okay.

Articling prepared me
for going on no sleep.

There you go sweetie, yeah.

- We could've traded off.
- No, it was my turn.



Yeah, I'm thinking maybe
we should abandon

this whole turn thing.

Funny that you should come
to that conclusion

on a night when it is your turn.

Are you going to work?

Yeah, I have a 10 o'clock
with Samantha Roy.

Joanna.

Samantha breathes
new life into this,

it's a fresh start.

She didn't just
wander into town,

they found her locked in
the basement of a meth house.

All the more reason
to fight for the land

that's rightfully hers.

I could only get her to
take about half of this,

can you try?

Sure.

What's this?

"The law society
disciplinary committee."

- We knew it was coming.
- Unopened.

I know what it says.

It's an invitation
to my execution.

Hey.

Hey, listen you want some?
Come here.

Come here.

Here you go, you ready?
Here you go.

♪ In Dublin's fair city ♪

♪ where the girls
are so pretty, ♪

♪ I first set my eyes ♪

♪ on sweet Molly Malone ♪

♪ as she wheeled
her wheelbarrow... ♪

This is a standard
retainer agreement

and it's just like the one
I have with your mother.

Is it weird being home?

A bit.

Hasn't changed much.

I think that your mother
wanted you to be able

to recognize it
when you came back.

Wasn't planning on it.

Mind if I smoke or is that
still against Helen's rules?

It never came up.

Guess she couldn't do much
about it now anyway huh?

Mrs. Roy, your mother hired me
to go up against Oro north mine

who tried to force
her off this land.

And when they couldn't do that

they forced her car
off the road.

That's why she's in a coma.

Listen, you have legal rights,

we can sue them
on multiple grounds.

What do you want from me?

To finish what she started.

You have a good case.

Sorry, I'm only good at
fighting with my mother,

not for her.

We haven't talked in years,
doesn't seem like

we're going to have a chance
to anytime soon now huh?

I can take you to the hospital,

she can't respond

but when you talk
she can hear you.

I'm good.

Samantha.

You made your pitch,

I'm not buying
what you're selling.

I'm not selling you anything.

Your mother's wishes-

ain't the same as mine, okay?

My wish is for you to leave.

We worked so hard to
save this place for you.

Sorry, I'm confused.

Who are you?

You're talking to her
in the hospital,

you're not her daughter.

Samantha, I...

I understand that you've been
going through some hard times,

but I am trying to help you.

You would know about hard times.

How much that outfit cost?

You want to help?

Call the mine,
ask them for another offer.

Samantha...

Do it now.

The court made me the guardian
of your mother's estate

and I cannot go
against her wishes.

Get out.
Get out!

Mac and cheese for breakfast?

- Yeah cool.
- Okay.

I'll just need to find a pot.

Okay, so the threshold
question is,

was Dee his employee?

Are you talking about suing
her pimp in a civil suit?

Just exploring all
our options. Yeah.

Can someone just Google
how to make Mac and cheese

without a pot?

- Just order in.
- No!

No, we're grown ass women.
We can make a home cooked meal.

Okay, so I'm not
sure about employee

but I definitely worked for him.

Well, if you're an employee

then you have rights
under the labour code.

But not if you're in
an independent contractor.

Tax code considers sex workers
independent contractors.

Just to deny them benefits.

This is how they
talk by the way,

you just get used to it.

And Dee's situation's different,
she wasn't there by choice.

Supreme court says employees
are generally subordinate

and they lack control over
when and where they work.

Sounds like me.

So, we just have to
convince a court

that Dee was an employee,
and then he has to pay.

Dee needs some documentation.

I don't suppose you have
anything in writing?

I'm not sure Wes
can write to be honest.

He does text her.

I do have a lot of texts.

Aw yes, victory.

Pots, there we go.

I think that's a sign.

We're on to something here.

Everything okay?

Apparently the mayor
has put an order in

for a stingray.

Is that a phone tracker?

State of the art, expensive,
completely unnecessary.

Where'd they get
the money for that?

Who knows.

I'll be late tonight.

Are we ever going to
talk about it?

About?

The new roommate situation.

The reason the lingerie
is still in my suitcase.

Will you please
stop bringing that up?

He feels like
he has a home here.

But this isn't his home Owen.

I just don't think it's
healthy to give a boy

who's been through
what he's been through

false expectations.

I worry about his mental health.

What about his physical health?

I'm not mad at you
for taking him in,

it's a beautiful thing you did,

I just wish you'd
run it past me first.

You were halfway
around the world.

We don't talk Owen.

What are we doing right now?

You know what I mean.

You bottle things up,
it's not good for you

and it's not good for us.

I have to get to work, can we
just please talk about this

when I get home?

Diane-

yeah, we'll talk about
it when you get home.

Billy?

She just went down.
How'd it go with Samantha?

It didn't.

She wants to sell.

Oh, it's her family's
land it's up to her.

I'm still Helen's guardian.

Joanna you said you wanted
to bring her daughter home,

she's home.

Isn't that enough?

I have a meeting,
union rep for the miner's local.

You're meeting
with the other side?

The mine union isn't the same
thing as the mining company.

He wanted a consultation,
we could use the money.

Are you worried about money?

Things are uncertain.

You mean with
your partner's future.

With everything.

Maybe getting this case
off your plate will help.

Is the first contact,
"what's up? It's Wes"

from march, 2018?

Yeah.

He was a friend of a friend,

he found my profile.

We messaged for a bit on there

before I gave him my number.

Hey, if we're going to try
to create a statement of claim

we'll need details, okay?

- What kind of details?
- The uncomfortable kind.

- Stevie.
- It's okay.

I was 16, moved in with him
a few weeks later.

And have you lived
with him ever since?

Mostly.

If you've lived with him
for more than three years

then it's considered common-law.

And you could be entitled
to spousal support.

Yeah, he'd never pay.
He'd rather kill me.

- It's him.
- Wes?

Okay, that is just eerie.

"I'm sorry, I love you,
want to come get you.

Where you at?"

Forget it, just delete it.

No, don't delete them,
we're going to need those texts.

I can't tell you how many times
I've fallen for these messages.

Every time I leave
I just get dragged back

by him, the drugs.

Not this time, I'm done.

How many times have
you tried to run?

A bunch of times.

I keep going back.

So much for common-law.

Sorry.

You didn't do anything wrong,

you were right to try to leave

but it can't be
considered common-law

if you're trying to escape.

"I'm the only one
you can trust."

Dated one month
after the first text.

It felt that way.

He groomed you
right from the start.

It's an epidemic on social media

and the law can't catch up.

Then let's make
the law catch up.

We sue him.

- For grooming?
- Yeah.

Is that possible?

If you're harmed
by another person

then you should have
a cause of action.

Wesley hurt you,

he stole years
of your life from you.

The law should provide a remedy.

So, let me get this straight,

the daughter of your client
who you just met

wants to sell the house
that she ran away from.

You're omitting a few details.

And you won't let her?

The court appointed
me her guardian.

Well, I asked the court
to make me her guardian.

Aha.

Can I be honest with you?

Uh-huh.

You don't know her,
you barely knew her mother.

That shouldn't stop me
from doing the right thing.

For her or you?
Nobody does anything selflessly.

I should know.

Your sick aunt in Guyana?

It was a routine appendectomy,

I stayed weeks longer
than I had to.

He's just so busy
saving the world,

it's heavy.

I needed a break from it,
from him.

There's nothing wrong with that.

What about sleeping with
a 20-year-old Guyanese gardener?

Is there anything
wrong with that?

Kidding!

I'm kidding.
I'm kidding.

I did think about it, but...

Hey, sorry we were
talking about you?

It's just, selling now
to a colleague that I trained,

it just feels like...

Losing. And we all know
how much you like to lose.

Especially on my last case.

The disciplinary
committee's after me.

Something I did a lifetime ago.

Diane I'm going to
lose my license.

Oh honey, you should've told me.

Who am I if I'm not a lawyer?

My best friend.

And I am so happy you're home,

you have no idea.

But gabbing in the middle
of the day at mommy's group

it just...
It just isn't enough.

Come on, let's take a walk.

Do you think it makes me
a horrible mother?

That mommy's group
isn't enough for you?

No, that she isn't enough.

You want your
daughter to see you

doing something that you love.

I actually think that
makes you a great mom.

I do, I want her to see
me at my happiest.

But I need that for me too.

But I don't even
know if I'm allowed

to want anything
for myself anymore.

Of course you are.

Well it doesn't seem like
I'm going to get either.

You don't know that.

I am telling you,
this is not just going to be

a slap on the wrist.

It's Luna, she reached out,
she wants legal advice.

Go.
Go ahead be a lawyer.

Gotta enjoy it while it lasts.

Thank you.

A civil lawsuit for grooming
against a pimp?

That is incredibly inventive.

I know but will it work?

Theoretically yes,

courts will on occasion
expand tort law

to include new civil wrongs

but Dee will face
cross-examination

for everything.

What if we use
the suit as leverage?

Smart.

Dee needs money.

She was groomed
and trafficked as a kid,

now she has nothing
and nowhere to go.

Are you sure this guy has money?

You've got to sue someone
with deep pockets.

I have another meeting,
finish this later?

- Okay.
- Nice work Luna.

What do I owe you?

Pay for the coffees big shot.

Loved getting your call, you've
finally come to your senses.

The daughter wants to sell
and unfortunately for you

there's nothing you
can do to stop her.

Is this a joke?

Take it or leave it.

You're missing a zero.

After everything you
put my client through,

consider it life tax.

My orders have changed,
that parcel of land

is not a priority.

So, you don't want it now?

We want it, deal's different.

We're not willing
to pay cash for it.

She should take it,
no one else is going to want it.

Farm next to a gold mine.

Tell you what, admit
I'm a better lawyer than you

and I'll throw in 100k.

This is all just
a big game to you.

It's win or lose,
you taught me that.

To think I looked up to you,
shark on bay street,

now this here.

The place you end up if
you're not paying attention.

We're done.

Your ego really going
to cost your client 100k?

It's cost you more than
that hasn't it, Joanna?

It cost you
pretty much everything.

Screw you.

Objection, inflammatory.

Billy, I appreciate
you coming down.

Union's counsel
are Toronto based.

I can never get
them on the phone.

I appreciate the call Larry
but you know my partner's

leading an action against
the mine's parent company.

They're not us.

You have a great reputation.

I'm flattered but I'm only
one half of the team.

Well, the half that's from here.

And everyone loves
a hometown boy.

How can I help?

This is confidential,

mining boss has sent us
a revised contract.

A rewritten termination
agreement for our workers.

And they added new
grounds for firing.

Looks like a loyalty pledge.

They're real secretive up
in the executive offices.

They want them signed today.

Sorry.

Hey, I'm in a meeting.

They slashed my tires Billy.

What? You okay?

Fine, I'm fine but it means
that we're close to something.

Oh.

Why don't you sound excited?

No, I just can't talk
about this right now

I'm in a meeting.

- I'll meet you at home.
- Okay, don't be long.

Sorry about that.

- The other half?
- Yeah.

Everything okay?

Yeah, give me a couple
of hours with this.

Hey.

What did your sister say?

No hello?

Just really want to know
what the great Joanna Chang's

legal opinion is.

She's not god you know.

No, no god wouldn't stand
a chance against her deposition.

Why aren't you down by the fire?

I think she needed some space.

She should really just
pitch a tent down there.

I mean you might not get it

but when you spend as much time
imprisoned as she has,

you don't see the outside
the same way again.

Are you okay?

Yeah. Yeah.

So, Joanna thinks our
strategy is imaginative

but unless Wes has a trust fund

which is very doubtful,
there's no point.

We need deep pockets.

What about changing
the law, Luna?

We're trying to
get Dee some money

so she can get away
from that jerk.

You're rich, you don't get it.

Stevie-

sorry, am I
interrupting something?

You know, I was actually
just about to go

put on some more hot water,
anybody want?

I...

Dee!

It's Wes.

- How'd he find you?
- My texts.

He tracked me.

I see you up there,
get down here now!

Okay, what do we do?

- We stall.
- Lu...

Wes right?

I heard you like young girls.

Look, I don't have time
for whatever this is.

Come on.

She's not going
anywhere with you.

Cute.

Now, I'm not going to
repeat myself, you hear me?

I'm not going with you.

- You think you decide?
- Yeah, she does.

Shut up. I'll drag you
into this car if I have to.

Stop screwing around,
you think I can't take

your little bodyguards here?

You're going to want
to think real hard

about your next move Wes.

Yeah?

I called the cops the minute
you pulled into the driveway.

Yeah, they really don't
like it when someone

they have a warrant out for

trespasses on an
officer's property.

A cop lives here?

Yeah.

No, you're bluffing.

Do you really want
to take that risk?

Fine.

Hey.

Hey, what are you doing here?

I wanted to...

I needed to tell you something.

What?

I missed you when you were gone.

Oh I missed you too Owen.

And when I'd come home,

it was just so empty
without you here.

And you're right
I don't talk enough.

Owen-

no, it's because I'm afraid

and I'm scared that if
I tell you how I really feel

there's like,
there's generations of pain

that has been ignored

and it would just be too much,

and you'll leave me.

Babe,

I'm not going anywhere, okay?

This is our life.

What's that?

"Diane and Beckbie."
Did you write this?

No.

"Thanks for everything."

Kip.

He must have heard us talking.

Aren't there dangerous
people looking for him?

We need to find him
first before they do.

What took you so long?

I got someone to change my tire

and I still beat you back here.

I couldn't
walk out of a meeting.

Did you call the police?

Don't have time, we are close
to something here Billy,

we're just not seeing it.

- Where's the baby?
- Daycare.

All right,
what are we not seeing?

Elise told me that Helen's farm
was no longer a priority.

There's something
weird going on.

All-stock sale,
buy-back provision,

restricted shares.

I thought we were
ending this today.

There is something
so much bigger going on here.

You're getting all that
from a stock sale.

You think I'm making this up?

The therapist said we're
both dealing with a lot,

I think you're actively
avoiding something.

Did you open the letter?

Oro north
is up to something Billy

and I'm going to
figure out what it is.

I'm so sorry that I wasn't here.

It's not your fault.

No one's answering.

Wesley must've
changed the burners.

I thought you rescued
all the girls in the raid.

We rescued some.

Maylynn, Kayla, Sam.

There are always more.

And now he's going to
punish them because of me.

You have no idea
what he's capable of.

Then we just have to find them.

I have no idea where they are.

When they moved us we could
never see out the van windows.

We did always
go to the same place.

Okay we'd leave canola palms

and the sound was tires
on a smooth highway,

straight for like 10 minutes

and then two clunks.

The railway tracks.

What are you doing?

Something I used to do as a kid.

I was too small to see
out the car window

so I'd memorize the sounds.

Guys, my mom would
go on benders,

forget me places.

I always needed to know where
I was so I could get home.

And it worked?

You could find
your way back home?

I mean it was just a game,
but came in handy I guess.

Walked almost two hours
in the snow once,

but yeah, made it back.

What?

That's not just a game,
being able to retrace your path

with that kind of
detail using sound,

that's echoic memory.

Think like photographic
memory but with sound.

- What are you doing?
- Can you help me out?

Canola palms is on highway 59,

if she can remember
the sounds after they left

maybe we just
trace it on the map.

Find it for real.

That's not exactly
the most fun ride to remember.

You don't have to
do this if it's too much.

She's right.

Yes I do.

Guys, I think this
is how we save them.

Thank you for seeing me.

I had a cancellation and you
said it was an emergency.

I'll be brief.

You're paying for 45 minutes.

I'm actually...

I'm on my way to do
a confidential

and potentially reckless thing

for a client.

And I need you to tell me
that I am okay before I do that.

I understand that you're
a couples therapist

and that me coming here
alone may compromise

some ethical statute.

I'm not a judge,
I'm a therapist.

Right.

Okay then if I do

have a postpartum mood disorder,

could that affect the way

that I evaluate things?

Evaluate?

Yeah, if my mental
wellness is an issue

could that compromise my ability

to assess facts and law?

Are you worried about
your mental wellness?

I don't know.

No, no, but...

But I could be inching
towards a potential problem.

I think you're stressed
and anxious,

and sleep deprived.

And I think you're scared.

- Which could be worse.
- Who taught you that?

That being scared
was a bad thing?

My father.

He's dead Joanna,

he can't judge you
or hurt you anymore.

You think that's
what I'm scared of?

I want to know what you think.

About my relationship
with my father?

Great, of course you do.

How much time do you have?

42 more minutes.

They think they saw him
running around

with his old crew friends
earlier this afternoon.

Is that a bad thing
or a good thing?

Millwood's not a big place,

word about him being
back on the street

won't take long to spread.

How horrible,
the kid already has nothing.

Yeah, well you were
just telling the truth.

Hey, don't worry,
we'll find him.

I still know his old hangouts
from when I was arresting him.

Owen.

I stayed in Guyana
longer than I had to.

I know.

- What?
- About Guyana.

I'm a trained
investigator Diane,

you don't think I have
connections in the Caribbean?

My mother?

Doesn't take much
for her to spill.

Why didn't you say anything?

Because I get it,

how do you think I feel?

I never get a break from me.

I love you Owen Beckbie,

and I don't want to
spend another night

apart from each other
for the rest of our lives.

Deal.

Gizaagi'in.

I love you too.

Come on.

Hey.

I was right Billy.

Where are you?

- City hall archives.
- You need to come home.

They never did
a geological survey.

Sure they did,
it's pinned up on your board.

That's from 1982,
they just changed the date,

that's how they were able
to rush through phase one.

They didn't do any of the work.

Well, in geological time
1982 is basically now.

It isn't just that.

The impact assessment,
the environmental reviews,

all of them are
exactly the same.

When they reopened
that mine they falsified

all of their documents, Billy.

Please trust me on this.

I do.

I think I know
who I can talk to about this.

Tell me about phase two,
happened fast.

They put a ton of pressure
on us to get things ready.

Damn near killed me,
but we're ready to go now.

Then they pulled the brakes.

- Who did?
- Oro north.

They shut us all out until we
resolve the contractual issue,

that's why I called you.

But they had a groundbreaking,
I was there.

PR I guess.

My men aren't allowed back
to work until we sign

the new contracts.

It won't feel like it,
but we're here with you, okay?

You say stop, we stop.

Start at the beginning.

We turn left

out of the motel parking lot.

10 minutes with smooth
highway under the van,

we're on the railway tracks.

Still heading north on 59 then,

that's the only highway
that crosses the tracks.

What's next?

Driving over this loud

rushing water below us.

Like rapids?

Louder than rapids,
like a waterfall or something.

A waterfall?

Guys, highway 59
crosses the Benito dam.

You okay?
Do you want to stop?

No.

After the rushing water

we're on a smooth
highway for a while,

we'd pull over to the left
and we'd stop.

Always just for a few minutes,

someone would open something
on the side of the van.

A gas station.

There are five highways
from 59 that have gas stations.

Do you remember any
other sounds at that stop?

Rumbling.

No matter what time of day
or night we moved,

always rumbling like
a mechanical sound or something.

The gas station off
of 17 is a truck stop.

Those guys have their
engines running 24/7

that's got to be it.

You're doing really great Dee.

It's not far now.

Some girls start crying
by this point usually,

Jesse especially.

I was never scared
until the long bridge though.

It was so high up I could
barely hear the river below.

I think she's talking about
the bridge to nowhere.

Used to get vertigo
crossing it as a kid.

One last turn right.

Pavement turns to gravel.

Rocks and gravel
start to kick up

against the bottom of the van.

We'd stop.

There were no more
sounds after that

until someone would
open the door.

Is this is it Dee?

Yeah.

I'll call for help.

Deep pockets.

Oh Mrs. Chang,

I'm assuming this can't
wait until the morning?

I have a curling sheet booked.

This won't take long.

What am I looking at?

Mine's land survey,

it's the same
as the original, exactly.

This paperwork is bogus
but you signed off on it.

Why would you approve
a falsified permit?

Falsified is a bit of a stretch.

Oro lied about this, we have
no idea what they're doing

and Millwood is
right in their path.

We're creating a citizen
oversight committee,

a watchdog organization
for the mine.

We're going to need
legal counsel on that board.

Comes with a healthy
monthly stipend.

Mayor Freeman,
are you trying to bribe me?

You're obviously concerned about
the legality of the mine,

this would give you
an opportunity

to keep them in check.

Think about it.

Okay.

I thought about it,
and the answer is no.

What are you going to do?

Luna?

We're going to sue them.

A mining company?

Why not?

Somebody has to do something.

We're just law students.

Stevie, it's okay if
you want to go home.

I get it.

No, I don't want to leave you.

Then stay and help me do this.

I'm just not cut out for this.

You don't know that.

The only reason why
I went to law school

is because I had no idea
what else to do with my life.

Maybe this will
help you figure it out.

You know we're not
allowed to do anything

without supervision.

Is that a yes?

You need to get a real lawyer.

Well, I know a great one.

- Where's our girl?
- She's already asleep.

Maybe she knows
we have work to do.

Junior associate.

Thank you.

- For what?
- For trusting me.

Oh, I don't trust you.

I'm scared of you,
in love with you.

You seem better.

Carol thinks I'm scared.

Wait, you talked to Carol?

It was on my way,
don't worry we'll talk about it

at our next session.

Okay then.

We have work to do.

I think there's something
you need to do first.

Open it, you need to know.

We have to know what we're
dealing with so we can plan.

Okay.

Okay.

Kip.

Some loyal friends
you got there.

Owen.

It's kind of cold, hey?

Come on.

Kip, I'm so sorry.

You don't have to apologize.

But I was wrong to make you
feel unwelcome in our home.

I don't want to be in the way.

Well, you can't live here.

Why don't you come
back to our place?

And you can be in the way
for one more night.

Come on, at least
you won't freeze.

Come.

So, what do we know?

They were so desperate
for Helen's land

they nearly killed her.

And now it's not a priority.

They can still buy it but
only with the new class

of restricted shares.

They forged documents,
they rushed production.

And now they're shutting
everything down.

There's something
they don't want us to know.

- Hey.
- Don't wake the baby.

Sorry, I know it's late.

This is my girlfriend Stevie.

Hi, I've heard
a lot about you both.

It's nice to finally meet you.

Also, we want to
sue the Oro north mine

for human trafficking.

I'll go brew some coffee.

While the mine may not have run
the sex trafficking ring,

their property was
continuously used

to carry out the sexual
exploitation of women.

Do you think you can prove it?

We're working on it.

There must've been somebody
at the mine that helped

bring the women there.

A mine employee?

At least one, maybe more.

It's a serious accusation,
before you can file suit

you need to be sure.

Maybe they were
simply trespassing.

But if we can prove that one
or more of their employees

allowed it to happen we have
a cause of action, right?

Respondeat superior.

Let the master answer.

Vicarious liability, smart.
It's not going to be easy.

When has any of
this ever been easy?

And right on cue.
I'll be back.

Let her cry.
She'll settle.

I'm going to let her cry.

Okay, now everything
you know about the man camp.

Wait, where is your
plaintiff right now?

Don't worry, Dee's safe,
she's with Taylor.

So, now with the lawsuit,

that means everyone's
going to know what I did.

You didn't do anything Dee.

You know what I mean.

It's important to
know that though.

You can come back from this.

You're the toughest person
that I've ever met.

And what now?

You make a new life,

you can't waste time looking
back on the past, trust me.

Look, I can't begin to know
what you've been through.

My father hurt and lied to me.

What did you do?

I stole all his money.

What?

I just took the money and I ran.

And you know there were
days where I felt like

I wasn't going to make it,

but I kept showing up.

It's just day by day.

Are you saying that
if a single employee helped

then the company's liable?

A site manager, a cleaner?

Employers are responsible
for wrong doing of employees.

Sometimes, it depends
on the nature of the wrongdoing.

The mine had a responsibility
to provide a safe environment.

This coffee is not cutting it.

Do you have anything stronger?

- There's beer in the fridge.
- Now you're talking.

Okay, so we're arguing that
these acts were egregious

and that the mine employees

were in the best
position to stop it.

It's a policy argument,
you need to make a legal one.

We can't find a precedent.

If you can't find
a case on point,

then you need
to argue on analogy.

Bazley v Curry.

Supreme court found this
company vicariously liable

for the sexual misconduct
of one of it's employees.

That's where you start.

- I got her.
- No, my turn.

Well, leave the work.

I can multitask.

You need to convince the court
that they caused the harm,

that you're not
just targeting them

because of the deep pockets.

Because you will be suing
a literal gold mine.

The world can be a scary place,

people can be awful
to each other.

But lucky for you,
your mom is an amazing lawyer

and she will defend you,

and protect you
until the end of time.

Your dad's not so bad either.

We help Luna file this lawsuit,

we get them a big settlement

and we force this
mine to shut down.

We have a problem,
it's been a big day.

Lot's of pieces coming together.

What is it?

We know there's something
the mine doesn't want us

to find out but, I don't think
it's the trafficking.

You said it yourself,
it's a literal gold mine.

What if it isn't?

What's the one thing a mine
would want to cover up?

There's no gold.
