Allegiance

Previously on allegiance...

stop the car.

have you heard of a far right group called "ioh"?

Is that who vandalized your dad's office?

Yeah. "eye of the hurricane".

My dad's innocent.

He'll be cleared.

if you cross the fence line,

It triggers an alarm.

Tamper with it,

It triggers an alarm.

Runs out of juice, same.

hey! I need to show you something.

The truthbolt media gremlins found some old clip.

They've been playing it on repeat.

Our nation has supported illegal wars,

We have spied on our own citizens,

We have illegally detained them.

Our nation has committed genocide.

I am ashamed to be canadian.

- ...A nation of peacekeepers-- - sabrina!

- yeah? - Yo, check this out.

...I think we need to take

A cold, hard look in the mirror.

Our nation has supported illegal wars,

We have spied on our own citizens,

We have illegally detained them,

Our nation has committed genocide,

So unless we are willing to say

"I am ashamed to be canadian",

Then I think we need to find the courage

And the humility to face these truths--

No way.

- ...To learn from our past... - I know.

I told him I remember that visit.

Where did you find the original?

Uh, university archives online, class of '95.

Anyone could access it?

...Access it, edit it, degrade it,

And, hey look, it comes out like this--

Our nation has committed genocide.

I am ashamed to be canadian.

ah...

Portrait of a future traitor.

I never said I was ashamed.

I said "unless we are willing to say--"

context is everything.

The echo chambers are already saying

That you've been pardoned and sent home.

Full-on festival of confirmation bias.

There's been an increase in threats

At the constituency office

Since you've been moved to house arrest.

So we fight back.

We release the original video,

And people will see

There's nothing controversial here, guys.

We could,

It just won't catch fire like the first one.

There's five million views and counting.

The damage is done, pappa.

I'll have the comms team work on a press release.

We'll make it clear

That this is the original video--

Down! Down!

what was that?

everyone okay?

Yeah, just stay down.

It's a brick.

What?

Sabrina, stay away from the window!

Do you see anyone?

police!

holy shit.

-Everyone okay? -Yeah.

What happened?

A brick came through the window.

He probably jumped the fence.

You can still catch him.

I'm not authorized to leave my post.

right, because we staged the whole thing,

So dad could what, make a break for it? Huh?

With his ankle bracelet?

-Ishaan! -I can come in and take a look.

We're fine.

Thank you, officer.

Thank you.

in broad daylight,

With an officer sitting right out front?

Yeah, a lot of good that did.

We need to up our security.

Cameras, new locks, alarms on the windows...

We have to get ahead of this.

We don't even know what this is.

Whoever set up his arrest,

They just threw a match into the kindling,

And now they're just standing back to watch it burn?

Along with dad's asylum bill.

Yeah, you want to make sure the progressive guy

Is out of the running as a potential pm?

You tap into the best available cliché,

And let prejudice do the rest.

Hey, what about that, um, online chat group?

-Eye of the hurricane? -Yeah.

What are you thinking?

Did you track down who first shared that intel?

Yeah, some hitler-happy guy calling himself "ricochet88".

You been working him?

working him hard.

Long chats into the night.

He thinks he's besties

With a like-minded white-pride ex-soldier

Called "wlmayhem".

He asked me to meet up.

Okay, good.

Can you do it today?

I... Don't think that he'd...

Like this face.

You know whose face might work...

I'll ask him.

Hey...

I got something special for you.

They're vegan coconut energy balls.

Mm! Mm...

Helena made these for you,

Now you're pawning them off on me?

They're too calorie dense for me.

What about that?

car 6103.

Code 10-22.

The olympiad inn off 176.

Possible theft in progress.

Copy. 6103 responding.

I need it now.

Mr. Mcmillan, is it possible that you misplaced your phone?

No, I put it on the desk,

Then one of them cleaned the room,

And it was gone.

mr. Mcmillan,

I'm sure we can work this out.

I can compensate you with a complimentary stay--

What I need is my phone.

I have a deal that's closing in ten minutes--

Perhaps we could talk in my office?

We can talk all you want

As soon as I get my goddamn phone.

Now, excuse me. Hey...

Hey!

Which one of you stole my phone?

Sir...

You need to calm down.

I'm out of time.

If I lose this deal, I swear to god--

Sir, you talk to us, not them.

I have ten minutes.

Who cleaned mr. Mcmillan's room?

Jenab?

Not me.

anisa was cleaning his room,

And she put the phone in the cart,

But forgot to put it back.

Mm-hmm. Honest mistake.

You're going to charge her, right?

Don't you have a meeting to get to?

Well, thank you for taking care of this, officers.

Thank you.

you're welcome.

I need to verify, uh, anisa's I.D.

She doesn't have it here.

Uh, can we see your employment records?

Oh, the agency takes care of all of that.

Oh, yeah?

Uh, which agency?

The hospitality and health agency.

And you don't have any records for these--

I think... I think we're done here.

Thank you, ms. Zachos.

you're welcome.

ladies...

Thank you.

No I.D.S, no employment records?

It's classic signs

Of a labour-trafficking operation--

I don't know, I don't think so.

Did you see how scared those women were?

They're not fans of the uniform--

No, it was more than just that.

Look, once you get border services involved,

You cannot unring that bell,

And it almost always ends in deportation.

Come on, you want to help them?

Let them work, let them keep sending money home.

You didn't see the way that--

Uh, what's her name? Jenab?

The way that she spoke to anisa?

She just grabbed her arm--

Maybe the motel uses her

To keep the other workers in line.

Okay, but if this is trafficking,

Then maybe she's more than just a motel worker.
