Burden of Truth

Previously... On "Burden of Truth".

- We're sick. - Yeah, thanks to your Dad.

This has nothing to do with the mill!

Soil samples taken from the field show traces

of contaminants including benzene and methyl mercury.

- Does this mean I'm hired? - Yeah.

Meet us at Billy's office, 9AM sharp tomorrow.

That kid you were driving around?

She's your sister. Tell me it isn't true.

- Tell you what's not true? - Gerrilyn Spence.

Gerrilyn Spence is a liar! She's crazy.

Crazy like Mom was crazy?

- Prom is lame. - Hey...

- You're lame. - What?!

Everyone acts like it's such a big deal.

Everyone's stinky and sweaty.

- I mean, it's in a gym! - Well, I can't wait for prom.

I just got a new dress, and I'm

- gonna be smokin' hot! - Oh...

Yeah, well, it can't be too hot.

School dress code applies for prom too.

Principal Weller's gonna be there measuring our dresses?

- Oh, God, man. - What a perv.

Ladies, your cleavage is very distracting around the boys.

But now do behave yourselves tonight, you animals!

No, I'm gonna go naked.

- Just completely wearing nothing. - Dude!

I would kill to see the look on Weller's face.

- Oh, hey. - Hey.

I swiped this from my dad's liquor cabinet.

It's probably full of benzene.

- Molly, Molly. - I'm kidding.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Come sit.

That was terrible.

So you guys gonna go to prom together?

- Yes. - No.

Who else are we gonna go with?

My mom's head would explode.

I'm pretty sure that she thinks that you

- can catch gay, so... - Oh, you can.

I caught it from the water fountain by the science lab.

- Oh, yeah? - Just steer clear of that area.

- That's it. - Noted.

Oh, Molly. Molly, Molly.

It's OK. It's fine.

I'm so sick of this!

I'm so sick of this. I know. I know, baby.

All right.

Everybody stand up.

- What? - Yeah, I've got an idea.

Come on. Everybody stand up. Come on!

- Why? - Circle the fire.

- Amanda, why? - God, just trust me!

Hold hands. Join hands!

- Hold hands. - OK, holding. It's so cute.

- So romantic. - Now close your eyes.

- And walk into the fire? - Can you stop?

I just... I wanna try something.

I, um... I found this healing ritual.

- "Healing ritual"? - Yes.

OK. I mean, it's worth... it's worth a shot.

Ahem. Ahem.

May the shining light within my soul...

- Hey. - I'm sorry. OK. Yes.

- Ready? - Yes.

I'm s... I'm sorry. OK. OK.

...heal me now and make me whole.

May the shining light within my soul...

...heal me now and make me whole.

May the shining light within my soul

heal me now and make me whole.

May the shining light within my soul

heal me now and make me whole!

It worked!

Good morning.

Have a nice day.

Good morning.

You know it's the weekend, right?

Yeah. You're here too.

You've been here all night?

I couldn't sleep.

It is never too early

for trial strategy,

so we find holes in our case and... there are a few.

You need to take better care of yourself.

Warriors never slept before battle.

That's 'cause they didn't have alarm clocks. Sleep is good.

You need to take time now, before the trial,

or you're not gonna make it.

I almost got trampled by a couple of Matheson's guys.

We filed suit, Billy. We've declared war.

I knew people would be upset about us going after their

biggest employer, but...

They don't want it to be the mill,

and they are not going to be rational.

This is only the beginning of the blowback.

I guess I'm just not used to it.

Being the bad guy?

Did you talk to your dad about Luna?

He said it isn't true.

Do you believe him?

I... I really, um...

I don't know,

but as of right now, it is just an allegation.

I made a preliminary list of names of people

we have to depose when we get to discovery.

Obviously, Ben Matheson's name is at the top of the list,

but if we wanna nail the parent company,

that means officers, directors.

It'll be good to finally get at the truth.

- Good morning, Mom. - Hey.

- I'm making eggs. - I've gotta get to work,

- but thanks. - Well, I can make them to go.

Uh... this water bill's due today. Can you pay this?

Yeah. I can pay the water bill.

How's the, uh... job going?

It's good. I'm learning lots.

It'll look great on my resume.

Hey, Mom...

do you remember when you were talking about taking your GED?

I'm not some dumb dropout.

- I was on the honour roll. - Yeah, I know.

And I would've been the first in our family

- to go to college. - And then I happened.

Things happen.

Jeez. Don't go making it all about you.

Well...

this was just lying around the office.

It's old, but it works. No one's using it.

Now you can do your GED

and we can go to college together.

Yeah.

Don't forget about the water bill.

See you.

Good morning.

Oatmeal's hot, sweetheart.

Thank you.

Where were you last night?

- I was just... - Careful.

We don't tell lies in this house.

I was just out with some friends.

It's no big deal.

It is a big deal if we can't trust your word.

Look... I know that you've been hurting.

Losing Steve was hard on all of us, especially you,

but you can't let that ruin the rest of your life.

We worry about some of your friends, sweetheart.

They're a bad influence on you.

What, are you serious?

God instructs parents to teach their children purity.

Now if those girls had been taught correctly,

they wouldn't be where they are now.

They're not twitching because they're... impure.

Why don't you invite Molly to service this morning?

Now, your oatmeal's getting cold.

Oh, no...

Mommy... there's something... there's something wrong.

The mill's parent company showed worldwide revenues

last year of over a billion dollars.

If you were Luna, wouldn't you want...

The girls won't see a cent of this

unless we can prove that they knew about the barrels.

She deserves to know.

Not until I have evidence, Billy.

I'm not gonna...

blow up her life unless I know for sure.

Hey, guys.

Luna, good morning.

Good morning. Any word from the mill?

No, they have 20 days to respond

and they'll probably take all of them.

"20 days"?!

What's this?

Those are financial statements from PNL Steel.

- That's Matheson Steel's... - Parent company. Yeah, I know.

We want a big settlement,

we need to make a case against the parent company.

Luna, it's uh, it's Sunday.

Why don't you just take the day off?

I'd rather stay and work, if that's all right with you.

So... how do we make a case

against the parent company?

Parents aren't responsible

for the transgressions of their subsidiaries

unless we can prove that they knew.

- What is it? - It's the church.

Did you get a text from God?

We have to get over there right now.

Now in this day and age, we must be vigilant.

Our youth...

are being bombarded by hedonistic influences.

And we must prepare them for battle.

Never has a generation had such a mighty enemy

to overcome in its path to purity,

and I stand here today... to challenge you.

Our community leaders,

our schools, our parents,

I challenge you to help

these sick girls who have been led astray.

Now, we were told
