[bunniefuu]

Previously on Allegiance...

I'm applying for a Stay of Proceedings.

I am asking the Court
to throw out the case.

Did you track down who
first shared that Intel?

Yeah. He asked me to meet up.

This guy had knowledge of
a highly-classified arrest,

so he's either someone with clearance

in law enforcement, or
trusted by someone who is.

The contact is Surrey CFPC.

Dickhead with a badge.

She signed out surveillance gear.

I'm just curious about its application.

Your presence here is a liability to me

and a distraction to your colleagues.

If I can get you a list of all
the male officers who work here,

can you start looking for connections?

You might not like what we find.

[♪♪♪]

- So, the usual?
- Sure.

What's that?

Homework.

- Well, anything I can help with?
- Nope.

- [CLICK]
- It's your eval.

Okay. So, uh...

- You're not gonna ask what it says...
- Well, if I do, are you gonna tell me?

No, I'm not. Coffee, two creams.

- Got it. Coffee, two milks.
- [VINCE GROANS]

- [CAFE CHATTER]
- Hi.

Small coffee.

How much is that?

[BARISTA] $2.25.

How much for one of those?

$8.75.

Oh. Just the coffee.

- All right.
- [COINS CLINKING]

Cream, six sugars.

Uh, it's tap only.

- [COIN CLATTERS]
- Uh, tap?

Debit or credit.

Um... I'm sorry?

Uh... I got this.

[TERMINAL BEEPS]

[♪♪♪]

- Thanks.
- Yeah, no problem.

It will just be ready down there.

Uh, can I get a small coffee, two milks,

and a large steeped tea?

[BARISTA] You got it.

[PHONE RINGING]

Pappa?

Hey, sweetheart. We just heard from Max.

The ruling's coming down today
on the Stay of Proceedings.

Today?

Okay, how's Max feeling?
Does he have a sense?

Well, Max feels a lot of things,

but, yeah, he's optimistic.

He said the judge seemed sympathetic,

that he was hammering the Crown

with questions.

But...

he also said that we should be prepared.

[QUIETLY] Yeah.

Okay, you'll let me know? [SIGHS]

As soon as we know.

[♪♪♪]

What do say we call it? Take 64th?

Sounds good.

[TIRES SQUEALING]

Wait. You see that?

Mm-hmm.

- [TIRES SQUEAL]
- [HORN BLARING]

[TIRES SCREECHING]

- May I?
- Yeah. No, by all means.

- [CLICK]
- [SIREN YELPS]

[SIREN WAILING]

[VINCE] I'll run the plates.

[POLICE RADIO CRACKLES, INDISTINCT]

Dispatch, 6103. We need to run a plate.

[♪♪♪]

[KNOCKING]

[WINDOW WHIRS]

Sergeant.

What's going on?

Uh, we, uh, saw your truck weaving.

Oh, right. Sorry. Yeah.

I was, um, probably just trying
to change the radio station.

I lose my damn presets

every time I take it
in for a service, so...

You mind maybe stepping
out of the vehicle?

[CHUCKLES SMUGLY]

Okay, yeah. Sure.

This is me...

[SLURS SLIGHTLY] ...
steppin' out of the vehicle.

Hey, Sarge.

Hey.

- [QUIETLY] He's drinking.
- Yeah.

You end shift already?

Had a domestic, over in Cloverdale.

I left Tucker there doin' the paperwork.

It's a silver lining

to dragging these rooks
around all day, am I right?

Where have you been since?

Look, Vince.

[DEEP BREATH]

I'm five blocks away from
home, so why don't we just...

we just call it a night, huh?

Can I ask how much you've had?

[TESTILY] How much I've had?

I'll get the A.S.D.

Aw, Jesus Christ.

Why don't you just alco-blow me?

Hey. Come on, son.

Control your rook...

- Vince.
- [VINCE SIGHS HEAVILY]

This goes one of two
ways. You know that.

Which way do you wanna play it?

Sir, if you could just take the test...

give us all peace of mind,

then we can all go home.

Yeah, I don't think I'm
gonna be taking that test.

- If you refuse the test...
- [SNAPS] Yeah, I know the law, Sohal.

So I'm gonna step up
to your T.O. right now

and give you a word of advice...

don't go doing something
here you might regret.

All right, that's enough.
You're riding with me, Sarge.

We're taking him home.

You follow us in his truck.
Come on. Let's go for a ride.

- Like old times, huh!
- Yeah.

- Like old times!
- "Like old times."

- Passenger side.
- You're driving?

[VINCE] Passenger
side. Come on. Come on.

[♪♪♪]

[♪♪♪]

[INSP. DANILO, ON VIDEO]
Was he already in the house,

or did he just come
in and find you there?

[DOOR CLOSES SOFTLY]

Now, you were there...

and he was there, we know that.

You hear that, right, Sylvia?

Who's this?

This is Constable Luke Tucker,
one of our promising rookies.

Thanks for letting me observe.

[DANILO] Okay, you can do this all day,

but the evidence is
gonna do the talking.

m*rder suspect's not talking?

Ah, you're like a young Sherlock Holmes.

Okay, clock's running down here.

Yeah, thank you.

Okay, here's where she starts saying it.

[SUSPECT, SLOWLY] Eight,
eight, five, one, zero.

[DANILO, CONFUSED] Okay...

[SUSPECT] 88, 5-10.

[DANILO] 88510.

You wanna tell me what that means?

Okay, well, this is all circumstantial,

so, if all we have

is both of them in the same house...

No, no. We have her at the scene,

we have his DNA.

She has motive.
She's a convicted m*rder*r.

- Who served her time.
- Yeah, served her time, got out,

murdering again.

Okay. Look. All I'm saying
is that this is not enough.

Okay? You either you get
a confession out of her

before the 24 hours is up,
or you gotta let her go.

"88510."

I know what that means.

[♪♪♪]

[ENGINE SHUTS OFF]

[DOORS SHUTTING]

- You okay, Sarge?
- Yeah.

- I'm gonna walk you in.
- Oh, sh*t, I get a bedtime story, too?

Lucky me!

[KEYS JANGLE]

Welcome, Brambilla.

Thanks.

The truck goes in the
garage, there, rook.

'Kay. Here we go.

[VINCE SIGHS]

Let's talk about this, Gabby.

- [DOG BARKS IN DISTANCE]
- [DOOR SHUTS]

[♪♪♪]

You're gonna let him off.

Do you know what it means
if we file that report?

Do you know what it means if
he's out there on the road?

Yeah. I know what that means.

Oh, so is this what the
"Blue Line" looks like?

Hey! Don't. Don't lecture me. Don't.

[DISPATCH CRACKLES ON RADIO] 6103?



Constable Sohal requested at
the detachment immediately.



[♪♪♪]

I do the paperwork, he
signs in the morning.

Comes to the same.

Gabby does that a lot?
Just leaves you on your own.

- Sometimes. Why?
- [PHONE RINGING]

[VINCE SIGHS]

Brambilla.

Hey, Ranvir. How you doing?

- [VINCE MOUTHS WORDS]
- Do you know why I got called in?

Actually, yeah.

A m*rder suspect was
picked up this morning,

and she won't say anything
except for a number...

"88510"... she just keeps saying it,

over and over again.

I figured it out.

Eight-eight... that's...

Yeah. Your badge number.

How do you know my badge number?

I think the big question is,

how does she know your badge number?

[♪♪♪]

Ah, Constable Sohal.

This is Inspector
Danilo, Serious Crimes.

Okay, well, thanks
for coming in so fast.

- It's good to meet you.
- We have strong evidence of foul play in

the disappearance of a man named
"Artem Fletcher," two days ago.

Uh, what do you need from me?

We need to find out
if she's responsible,

and if Fletcher's dead,

we need to know where the body is.

We need a confession
before time runs out.

Do you recognize her?

[♪♪♪]

Yeah.

Yeah! I bought her a coffee.

This is Sylvia Gruen.
She was released from Willowridge

three days ago, where
she did 15 for m*rder.

Well, she was picked up this morning

for questioning in the disappearance

of Artem Fletcher.

This was sent by his wife...
taken a few weeks back.

And how are Sylvia
and Fletcher connected?

Fletcher's a developer
and philanthropist.

He bought a farmhouse
in the Serpentine Flats.

The property belonged to Sylvia's mom.

She d*ed five years ago,

but left money to cover the payments...

[DANILO] Until the money payments out.

Fletcher bought the
property sight unseen.

He was planning on
building a rehab centre

for at-risk youth.

There's a lot of pressure
to solve this m*rder.

Fletcher is a prominent
name in this community.

We've got a digital walk-through
of the alleged crime scene.

This resolution doesn't
show you the dust,

but this place is locked in time.

Sylvia got out three days
ago and she went to the house.

Fletcher went to visit the property.

His ex called the police
later that night because

he never showed up for
his son's second birthday.

His car was found three clicks away

and the prints were wiped.

[DANILO] Sylvia's DNA is
confirmed in the farmhouse,

alongside Fletcher's prints.

Any signs of v*olence?

Gillian, can you take
us to the basement?

- Yep.
- [KEYS CLACKING]

The railing was pulled away
from the basement stairs.

The Luminol showed traces of blood.

No... m*rder w*apon?

No body?

Yeah, look, Sohal.

I think... I need to
be honest with you...

asking for you, I think
it's a stalling tactic.

[KARA] We are hitting a dead end.

We've only got a few hours
before we have to let her go.

Unless you can get a confession.

Does she have a lawyer?

[NATE] No, she absolutely refused.

[SABRINA] Why?

Her last lawyer didn't
do her any favours.

[♪♪♪]

What happened, 15 years ago?

Sylvia and her best
friend, Chloe Hughson,

were found guilty in the m*rder

of Sylvia's boyfriend, Daniel Davis.

His body was found at the
bottom of the Stawamus Chief.

He used to hike it pretty regularly.

The fall was deemed
an accident, at first,

but then witnesses later placed
Chloe and Sylvia at the scene,

and neither one of them had reported it.

He had Chloe's DNA in his fingernails,

suggesting a struggle.

Was there a history of partner abuse?

Well, that was their defense...

that Daniel was controlling
and violent with her,

to a point where she
feared for her life.

But, uh... there were no police reports.

She had a good job,
character references.

Classic case of he said/she said.

And "he said" won.

Yeah, well, maybe because he was the one

that got m*rder*d.

Two days before Daniel's "accident,"

there was a witness

who overheard Chloe and Sylvia at a bar,

saying they had to "do something."

Sylvia mentioned Daniel invited her

to come hike the Chief,

and Chloe said,

"That works."

[NATE] But, uh...

the real story came out in court.

Turns out Sylvia got cold feet,

but Chloe decided to
go ahead with it anyway,

and when she tried to
push Daniel off the trail,

well, things went sideways,

and Sylvia ended up helping Chloe out

and Daniel d*ed,

they both went to jail,

and, well, Sylvia got three years less.

Let's, uh, let's take this downstairs.

[♪♪♪]

[♪♪♪]

Hey.

How you doing?

Are you, uh, feeling okay with all this?

Nate, I'm not sure that
I get you right now.

You have a soul, I think...

but then I look at all the
energy you're putting into

throwing my father in prison...

[QUIETLY] I'm sorry.

I know that there's two ways
a Stay of Proceedings can go.

One, the judge orders
the charges dropped,

or two, the judge
denies the application,

and we go to trial and
we finally get to see

the magical sealed evidence

that's such a "thr*at"
to national security.

If you're so concerned

about my well-being...

why don't you tell me why
we're still doing this?

[EARNESTLY] Look, Sabrina.

I'm just doing my job.

I feel like you have more to say.

I feel like you wouldn't be wrong.

[VINCE] Sohal!

[TESTILY, UNDER BREATH] Come here.

You see that guy over
there, over my left shoulder?

That's our union rep... just
had a little talk with him

about our pending
paperwork on Gabby's D.U.I.

He's gonna talk to you
next... he's gonna try

to strong-arm you, all
right? Just don't...

- Vince?
- Ranvir.

Can you give us a moment?

Sure. I'll take those.

I'll see you down there.

Constable Sohal. Ranvir Gupta.

Wonder if I could have a word with you

about Doug Gabinski?

I'm about to go into an interrogation.

I'm not gonna keep you
from doing good work,

but I did get a call
from your fellow officer,

and we're wondering

if there might be
another way through this.

"Another way"?

You and your partner
haven't filed a report

on your earlier interaction with Doug,

and I just wanted to ask you to...

refrain from doing that.

He was driving impaired.

- You performed a breath test?
- No. He refused,

which is also a criminal
offence. I gotta go.

Constable Sohal.

You've only been here a few months,

but you know that this
is a high-risk job.

You want to know your fellow officers

have your back, don't you?

"Have my back"?

What's that supposed to mean?

I think you understand.

Don't raise your voice or make threats.

Don't lie or mislead about the evidence.

Do not imply that you can offer deals.

But don't let her intimidate you either.

One mistake, and the
conversation becomes inadmissible.

She goes free, and the Fletcher family

may never find their dad.

[♪♪♪]

It's good to see you again, Sylvia.

I'm Constable Sohal.

Cream...

six sugars.

I know you've been asked these before,

but... you understand

this interview is being recorded?

I'm sorry. I need you to respond.

I understand that
you've refused a lawyer.

Is that still your preference?

Sylvia, is that still...

Yes.

Uh, since Inspector
Danilo spoke with you,

has anyone spoken with you...

I need to go to the bathroom.

Sure.

You know what she's doing, right?

She's using the bathroom.

She's running down the clock.

She's dicking us around.

[FOOTSTEPS]

[PHONE BUZZING]

I gotta take this.

[PHONE BUZZING]

Hey. I'm here.

Hey...

I'm here with Max and Ishaan.

Um, ahem. I wanted to
tell you right away.

Okay.

[♪♪♪]

The, uh...

the Stay of Proceedings has been denied.

[♪♪♪]

[♪♪♪]

Denied?

Wait, what happens now?

What happens now is, this isn't over.

I will marshal every
imaginable resource...

I hear a "but... "

I thought this judge was sympathetic.

He's not,

and he wants to move
the trial date forward.

It's not a good sign.

What can we do?

[MAX] My advice is to stay strong.

And it would be wise

to make plans,

in the event things don't go our way.

"Don't go our way"?

[RAPPING LOUDLY]

[♪♪♪]

Pappa...

we've got you, okay?

We'll do anything it takes.

I love you.

I'm with you.

Pappa?

We got this, Sab.

[BEEPS CALL OFF]

Let's go.

[CUFFS RATTLING]

[♪♪♪]

[SABRINA, ON MONITOR]
Okay, Sylvia, just um...

uh, so, you just returned from
the washroom, is that correct?

[SYLVIA] That's right.

And as you were escorted
by Constable Derickson,

did anyone...

[STOPS ABRUPTLY]

[♪♪♪]

[DANILO] What's she doing?

[♪♪♪]

My father...

he's been accused of a crime

and he may be going to prison.

It's... actually, it's
looking like he is.

I was just wondering if I could

ask your advice.

I'm worried about him.

He's strong.

He's smart.

But there's so much that he doesn't know

about what the reality is.

I know what it's supposed to be.

I-I know, theoretically,
the correction systems...

"Corrections."

Like, you go in...

"incorrect... "

and you come out, what?

"Corrected"?

[♪♪♪]

You know, nobody talks
about what it's like

to step outside of those gates

corrected,

and everything's changed.

You actually get to decide stuff...

wake up when you want,
wear what you want...

no structure, no schedule,

and you're on your own, with all this...

"freedom"?

Like this morning.

You got coffee shops where you're "free"

to choose between 15
kinds of flavour sh*ts.

When did that happen?

And "tapping"?

Right?

Where your cell phone
pays for your coffee?

Hey, here's the thing, Sylvia.

I'm doing this all wrong.

Inspector Danilo told me how I was

supposed to behave,

what my body language should be,

so you see I'm not...

What the f...

... strategic psychological
pressure points

to get the upper hand,

to trip you up in your lies.

But I'm not gonna do that.

I think

that this intimidating...

unpredictable person...

maybe it's a role
you've learned to play,

to survive in a dangerous
place for 15 years.

I think you've had to become
what people think you are...

guilty.

Displacement activity with the cup...

she's breaking through.

But I'm not thinking about "guilty."

I'm thinking about, I don't know...

accountable?

Instead of punishing, "correcting... "

... if an actual crime has
been committed, which...

to me...

if not to Inspector Danilo...

... is still an open question.

[♪♪♪]

Nine-nine-four-one.

For 15 years, that's...

all I've been.

"9941"...

how all the guards saw me.

You don't look at me like a number.

You saw my face.

Tell your dad "salt".

That's how you survive.

Tell him to hoard it, any way he can.

You start to lose your taste
once you've been in a while,

so, salt's valuable
for, like, bartering.

What was the first thing
you ate when you got out?

Haven't really eaten much.

Okay, well, what food
did you miss the most?

Ice cream cake.

Cookies and cream,
from Colebrook Creamery.

Nice.

But the rule was "never on a birthday."

That would make it ordinary.

Is today your birthday?

No.

Good.

[VELCRO RIPS]

Mine either.

All right...

"Colebrook."

Cake is up.

E.T.A., 14 minutes.

[♪♪♪]

[SYLVIA, SHOCKED] You just ordered it?

Yeah.

On your phone?

Yep!

[LAUGHS] Christ!

You know, when I was a kid,

I thought that the
future would be all...

jetpacks and holodecks,

but it turns out that it's phones

that can order ice cream cake.

[♪♪♪]

Constable Sohal. Got a sec?

- Not especially.
- I wanted to apologize.

I may have got off on the wrong foot.

Okay.

I've known Doug

almost as long as
he's been on the force.

He's a good cop,

with an outstanding track record.

What you might not know

is...

how challenging things
are at home right now.

His wife left him, moved to Kelowna.

He's trying to be there for his boy,

but Will's going
through a hard time, too.

Kid's been living in a van.

A van?

Uh... yeah, I heard
something about that.

He's hanging with the wrong crowd?

Got picked up for
vandalism and graffiti, too.

That's too bad.

Doug's trying to be a Dad,

but, between us, when he's had a drink,

they get into it, say a
few things they regret.

You know... fathers and sons.

I'm just saying...

Doug's trying,

he wants to do better,

but if you and Vince were
to file a report right now...

Yeah, I hear you.

Okay, let me think about it.

Family is everything.

[♪♪♪]

[PHONE RINGING]

Hey, Sab.

[SABRINA] Can you talk?

Yeah. What's going on?

Ricochet88's source...

the "dickhead with a
badge," I think I might know

- who it is.
- What? Who?

A CFPC cop

with an estranged son who's
currently living in a van...

a guy who talks too much
when he's had a drink.

Can you do a search for a
"Will" or a "William Gabinski."

His dad's part of the frame-up?

Yeah, I'm not sure. Just because he knew

about the arrest in
advance, doesn't mean he knew

that the actual arrest
charges were bogus.

Don't mention it to Dad or Max.

- Gotta go.
- 'Kay.

[BEEP]

[♪♪♪]

That's exactly the same! [LAUGHS]

Well, who needs birthdays?

And whose idea was the cake?

Chloe's, from when we were about nine.

Mrs. Maranak, she lived down the street,

and we would do odd jobs for her.

Mrs. Maranak?

She'd give us a bit of cash,

and we'd save up until
we had a special occasion.

You and Chloe were close?

She was at our house all the time.

Her parents were...

you know.

She'd show up at our
door and she'd be welcome,

no questions asked.

What kind of special
occasions did you celebrate?

[CHUCKLES] Sometimes,
just that we had cake.

Well... that is worth celebrating.

And that you were there for her.

[VOICE CRACKS] I wasn't.

You weren't there for
her? It sounds like...

[SNAPS] Well, I wasn't!

[♪♪♪]

[DOOR SWINGS OPEN]

Why didn't you tell me
Chloe d*ed by su1c1de

right before Sylvia got out?

- I didn't see the relevance.
- "Didn't see the... "

Why did no one take this
friendship seriously?

Sabrina, just take a sec...

[SNAPS] This friendship
that pushed them together,

- to a dark enough place...
- You just shut a suspect down...

- ... That a man d*ed?
- ... and walked out on her!

- The clock is running down...
- You sent me in there...

- You're wasting time with cake.
- ... Incomplete information...

Sohal! Danilo. Enough.

With your permission,

I would like to continue
to look at the files.

[SCOFFS DISMISSIVELY]

Look, Inspector, we
have nothing to lose.

[FILE RUSTLES]

[♪♪♪]

Gillian, can we find a Mrs. Maranak?

- Bring her to the station, ASAP?
- Copy.

What's our thinking here, Sohal?

We're going back to the farmhouse.

When they were sent
to separate facilities,

the Court ordered no contact,

but they got their hands
on burner phones inside.

Chloe and Sylvia were
communicating by text every day.

Yeah, but it says

that Chloe was placed
on an inspection list

and her phone was confiscated.

And weeks later, she hung herself.

[ELEVATOR BELL DINGS]

[VINCE] Mrs. Maranak?

Constable Derickson, did
you get what I asked for?

- Thanks.
- I'm Corporal Brambilla and

this is Constable Sohal.

Call me "Mrs. M."

I thought I was in the clear,

making it to this age

without ever having to ride
in the back of a squad car.

Well, we're sorry to trouble you...

Didn't say I didn't enjoy it.

[CHUCKLING]

You wanted to talk
about Sylvia and Chloe?

Yes. Thank you for coming in.

You mind stepping in with us?

Uh, no.

[♪♪♪]

That's their farmhouse!

Brenda kept it up for
Sylvia, as long as she could.

She knew how much this
place meant to her kids.

"Kids," plural?

Brenda always said she had two kids,

Sylvia, and then Chloe.

Uh, Gillian, can you
take us to the bedroom?

- Mm-hmm.
- [KEYS CLACKING]

Mrs. M, can you can confirm for us,

that this is... Chloe and Sylvia?

Like the day I met them.

You sometimes gave them odd jobs to do?

I needed a hand for some things, yeah.

Chloe's file mentions a
history of domestic v*olence?

I-I wouldn't know anything about that.

The girls came over, one
day, looking for a job to do,

so they could save up for
one of their special cakes.

They helped me pot some plants,

and I was glad of the company.

Actually, I was... I
was having a tough day...

... and Chloe must've picked up on it.

She just wrapped her arms around me,

and she squeezed, tight-tight-tight...

[VOICE CRACKS] ... and she said...

"It's okay.

It's gonna be okay."

Sweet kid.

I figured it was because
nobody ever hugged her

when she lived in her own home...

and when she learned it,
from Brenda and-and Sylvia,

she never stopped.

It was like she was
making up for lost time.

That's what she was like...

impulsive.

Loyal.

I mean, this woman's a brick wall.

I tried compassion,

I tried "give the Fletcher
family closure... "

I tried, uh...

[DOOR BURSTS OPEN]

Inspector Danilo.

I may have an angle. Please.

Let me talk to her again.

[♪♪♪]

Tell me

if I got this right, Sylvia.

For 15 years,

you had been counting down the days

until your release... three days ago.

You get home...

you get the place ready.

You make the beds,

fluff the pillows...

and you put out flowers.

And then, the next day, the records say

that you went to go see Chloe.

I mean, you thought that you would be

seeing her face for the first time

since the trial,

to tell her...

that there was a place waiting for her,

the place that she had always felt safe.

And when you got there,
that's when you found out.

No one had even
bothered... [DEEP BREATH]

... to tell you that Chloe had d*ed...

... that she had d*ed soon
after she lost her phone,

when you stopped being
able to be there for her,

when she had been there for you,

unconditionally.

She saw what had happened
between her parents.

She saw the same thing happening to you,

and no one believed you,

and, for Chloe, it was simple...

because that's how
Chloe's heart works...

loyal,

impulsive.

And she had to protect you,
and, so, on your hike up the Chief,

she tried to.

But when he fought back,
she needed your help,

so you helped her,

and he fell,

and you both... ran.

Does that sound about right so far?

[QUIETLY] Yeah.

That sounds right.

So...

[DEEP BREATH]

[SHUFFLES PAPERS]

... you have just lost your best friend,

who had sacrificed
everything out of loyalty to you,

and you get home...

I mean, your... your
key still worked, right?

And you are this close
to falling apart...

[BREATH CATCHES]

... and then this stranger walks in,

and he tells you
that it's not your home,

it's his.

Y-You didn't know that it had sold.

No one told you that, either.

Did he know who you were?

[QUIETLY] No.

Not at first, and then...

then he did.

Then how did he look at you then?

[VOICE CRACKS] Scared.

He was scared of me.

He thought I'd escaped or something,

he was gonna call the police,
say "the k*ller's here."

Then he saw the scissors

on the table, between us...

the ones that I'd used
for the flowers...

[♪♪♪]

It happened so fast.

He reached for them

so that I wouldn't get them first,

and I shoved him back...
I just went blind!

For one second... for one second...

[BREATH SHAKES]

... I saw,

what he saw.

I turned into...

what he thought I was.

"9941."

[♪♪♪]

[CHOKING UP] 15 years,
your back against the wall,

you're always on guard.

You see someone reach for a blade,

you move fast!

[♪♪♪]

And then...

[BREATH SHAKES]

... I'm at the bottom
of the basement stairs...

[TEARFULLY] ... and the guy's under me

and his neck's broken, and I'm just...

"The guy"?

Fletcher.

Artem... Fletcher.

H-He... [GAGS AND GULPS]

... did nothing wrong.

He just...

he showed up.

He should still be alive, I just...

[SOBS]

[SOBS] I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'll...

I'll tell you where I left him.

I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

Come on, come on, come
on, come on, come on.

[SYLVIA SOBS]

I'm going right back, aren't I?

Aren't I?

[SYLVIA SOBS]

[VOICE BREAKS] I'm going back.

[♪♪♪]

[QUIET BACKGROUND CHATTER, INDISTINCT]

[♪♪♪]

Ah. Constable Sohal.

The Fletcher family is downstairs.

They'd like to personally thank you.

I'd rather not, if that's okay.

Yeah. I get it.

Crown's going to look at manslaughter,

given the circumstances.

But come join us at the bar.

The Fletcher File's
closed. It's a big day.

There's a six-month post in
Serious Crimes opening up.

I want you to know that I'm
putting in a recommendation.

You've earned it.

[♪♪♪]

- Hey.
- Hey. [SIGHING]

Another turn of the revolving door.

You should go... to the bar.

You know? Detectives there, brass...

A celebration.

I know. [CHUCKLES DRYLY]

You know what?

Doesn't hurt to have friends.

You gonna be there?

[VINCE GRUMBLES]

No, I-I got tickets with Helena...

- Yeah, yeah.
- No, no. Hey, hey.

You wanted to know
what I put in your eval?

Yeah. Yeah, I wanna know.

What I said was...

you got this.

You really got this.

[♪♪♪]

[♪♪♪]

Sabrina, hey.

I was hoping you'd be here tonight.

Um, I've had a long day.

Uh, listen, I just... I
just wanted to thank you.

For?

For not reporting me.

We actually haven't decided.

Look, it's no excuse, I know,

but things are a little...

uh, they're a little complicated
for me at home, right now,

and I'm...

I'm trying to do better, so...

so, thanks.

Yep.

- Cheers.
- Cheers.

You don't look very festive.

She gets out of prison three days ago,

and now she's headed right back?

You were there...

at the Sentencing Circle.

You don't think that there
are things that we can learn?

Oh, yeah, I think there
is a lot we should learn

about how to not make our jobs

a glorified inmate-delivery system

for the prison pipeline,
but, um, ahem...

I should shut up about that.

You should, uh, speak your mind.

[CHUCKLING DRYLY] Uh, no.

No, unfortunately, I am
not free to speak my mind.

There's an infinity

of potential regret
in that direction, so.

Is this you?

Or is this what you've had to drink?

This is me.

Mm, disinhibited by
what I've had to drink.

[CHUCKLING]

Well, Mr. Disinhibited, it...

it's nice to meet you.

Pleasure.

But I'm gonna call you a car.

You are cut off.

What are we doing?

We're getting you tucked in.

No.

What are we doing?

Doing about what?

About all the wrong things?

What wrong things?

[SIGHING SADLY]

[♪♪♪]

We can't.

I know.

I'm gonna get you some water.

[GROANS]

Water...

water's good.

[♪♪♪]

[♪♪♪]

[BUZZING]

Sab?

Yeah, how do I access a secure laptop

without a password?

What?

I have access to the
Assistant Crown's laptop,

but I don't have much time.

Okay. Um...

do you see anything plugged into

the side of the laptop?

- No.
- Uh, 'kay, you're gonna need, um,

a personal authenticator.

It looks like a USB key,

could be flat.

They're extremely secure, they use them

for government laptops.

[♪♪♪]

[♪♪♪]

[♪♪♪]

[CHIMING]

Okay. Got it. I'm in. Now what?

What are you seeing?

Uh... hang on.

"Sohal." Here we go.

[♪♪♪]

It's encrypted.

Okay, it doesn't matter. Copy it.

[♪♪♪]

Okay, it's loading.

Well, you, uh...

you know this is...

Yeah. I know. I didn't
plan this. It just...

Got it. Thanks. Bye.

It's gonna be okay.
