[SUMAN VIRK] Previously,
on Under the Bridge...

[STAN LOWE] For the death of Reena Virk,

on a scale of one to 10,
how responsible were you

and how much was Kelly?

Three and seven.

That girl Reena went across the bridge.
Let's follow her.

Want her to say she's sorry.

I'll steal her address book
and call everyone

and tell 'em how much
of a f*cking bitch she is.

She's gonna be pissed.

- [RECEPTIONIST] Where are you from?
- Victoria.

Where're you really from?

I don't know. I'm adopted.

[CHARLES GODFREY] You wanna
walk out there? I'd go with you.

I never really understood
why you like to do that.

You still think Gabe would
be here if it wasn't for me?

I don't know. [SNIFFLES]

I find Glowatski...

guilty of second-degree

I'm gonna make sure

[RAJ MASIHAJJAR] Hey.
Okay, are you ready to go?

Yeah. Can I have some help with the tie?

- [RAJ] With your tie? Of course, you can.
- [♪ SOMBER MUSIC PLAYING]

Wow, you look so grown up in your suit.

- There we go. There we go.
- [SAJAL] I'm ready.

- You look very nice.
- Thank you, you too.

- Just relax for a second, okay?
- [REPORTER] [ON TV] Today's the day.

We are mere hours away
from learning the verdict

in the Kelly Ellard trial.

Ellard, nicknamed
"k*ller Kelly" by the press,

has been accused of the
m*rder of Reena Virk,

for which Warren Glowatski
has already been charged.

Outside the courtroom,
crowds have gathered,

anxious to hear the outcome.

Will the Virks finally get justice

or will Kelly Ellard walk?

Very nice.

[♪ GENTLE MUSIC PLAYING]

Okay. Um, just g-go
sit down over there, okay?

[SIGHS] Okay.

[COURTROOM AUDIENCE WHISPERING]

- [JUDGE] Quiet please.
- [WHISPERING DIES DOWN]

[JUROR] After five days
of deliberations,

we find the defendant, Kelly Ellard,

guilty of second-degree m*rder.

[EXCITED HUSHED CHATTER]

[JUDGE] Quiet, please.

As for sentencing.

We must view the accused
as an individual.

Kelly Ellard has a,

an extraordinary and diverse
network of family and friends.

She's achieved good marks in school.

On account of all these reasons,

it is incumbent on me
that a 15-year-old receive

the minimum sentence
of five years in prison.

[MURMURING]

Quiet, please!

Kelly.

You are young and intelligent.

You have a wonderful family
that believes in you,

and I can only say you
must never let them down.

More importantly,
you must never let yourself down again.

I think you owe it to Reena Virk

to live a life that's exemplary.

Court dismissed.

[CAM] Some justice, eh?

[REBECCA] My publishers
will be thrilled.

Yeah, bad for the world's
good for you, I guess, huh?

[♪ SOFT MUSIC PLAYING]

Sorry... I didn't mean it like that.

[REBECCA] No, you're right.

You were right about Warren.

I thought that the reason
that I felt close to Warren

was because he reminded me
of my brother.

But I think he just
reminded me of myself...

'cause we're both the reason
that someone died.

Becca, Gabe fell.

I don't know that Gabe fell.

[CAM] Even if he didn't...

it's not on you.

And I never should've said it was.

You and Warren are not the same.

Yeah.

[DOOR OPENS]

[ROY] I'm buying, Stan.

You need to go sit with them?

Not officially. [SCOFFS]

[REBECCA] What do you mean?

I'm, uh, [SIGHS]

I'm actually resigning.

Really?

I'm sick of people being scared
when I walk into a room.

You know? [SIGHS]

[SIGHS]

So, are you gonna
get out of Victoria now?

Yeah, maybe.

I, um...

I found out my birth family is, uh,

Tsleil-Waututh.

[SIGHS]

It's north of Vancouver.

Just on the mainland.

Are you gonna meet 'em?

Yeah, I think so.

Under the bridge, there might've been
discovered some malevolent spirit.

[DOOR SHUTS]

The force seemed unreal
to the youth of View Royal

as if the night continued to linger,

to hold them in some
kind of fierce embrace.

But this darkness, this evil spirit,

was revealed in the end to be
something oddly human.

A misspoken word. A broken heart.

Pain, buried deep.

♪ I won't hurt you ♪

After the events of this night,
there would never truly be closure.

Stories never really end.

There can be only the promise,

the hope for reconciliation.

As though being at a sleepover,
and a girl is dared,

"Tell me your secrets."

So, she shares all the
worst things about herself.

And from the pillow next to her,
she hears a whisper.

"That's okay. We can still be friends."

All there can be is a call for mercy.

♪ I won't hurt you,

It's mercy, and mercy alone,

that transforms the human heart.
