Allegiance

Does this feel real to you?

Hell no.

Only way I got through was picturing this.

The best six months of my life I never want to live again.

What am I gonna do without this face every day?

Actually, I...

Um...

Just got the offer.

Are you messing with me?

Don't mess with me.

Surrey detachment.

Monday.

Oh, my god!

Yeah, just--

Actually, just cancel that meeting,

And that should work fine.

Hey, guys. How are you? Nice to see you.

sabrina.

There's a big-shot vip here to see you.

Thanks.

that can wait till I'm back.

Anything else?

alex wants to know

If you have 15 minutes for a follow-up with the pm.

I'll call peter from the plane.

Okay. Flight's at 1:40, so 2:00 p.M.--

And call with the teachers' union right after.

-Okay. Thanks, parveen. -Yeah.

Congratulations, sweetheart.

Oh...

Let me look at you.

Nice costume, sabzi.

Thanks, ish.

Please, ishaan, could you tuck in your shirt?

Why, pops?

Because the media's here?

No, because it's basic respect.

It's fine, I don't mind.

Her, I respect.

All these simps for the state, not so much.

Pappa, I should be with my troop.

I have something for you.

Baba-ji's cross of courage?

Baba-ji would have wanted you to have it today.

Thank you, pappa.

It's all of ours now.

I'll take good care of it.

Knock 'em dead, sweetheart.

I'll see you in there.

Glad you came.

Well, my other plans fell through, so...

Oh, yeah?

You were actually going to leave the house?

Ha ha.

good morning, ladies and gentlemen.

As your minister of public safety,

It is with the most profound pride

I present to you the newest recruits

To our beloved canadian federal police corps.

On behalf of the prime minister,

The governor general, and myself,

I offer you my deepest gratitude

For your service to this great country of ours.

Congratulations to you all.

It is now my honour to introduce this morning's keynote address.

This cadet is the first woman in our family

To join the service.

And that idea of "service"

Is foundational to who we all are.

My late wife, sukh,

Would have been as proud as I am right now.

Please join me in welcoming

Your valedictorian, constable sabrina sohal.

We all know why it's her up there.

Because she kicked your ass, academically and physically?

If that's what you want to believe.

In a country best known for our peacekeeping efforts,

At home and abroad,

We remain safe

Because of the hard work and dedication

Of those in service.

As viola desmond said,

"do your little bit of good

Where you are.

It's those little bits of good put together

That overwhelm the world."

And that's our job--

To fight the good fight...

One little bit at a time...

Mr. Ajeet sohal,

You are under arrest for treason.

Excuse me?

pursuant to section 46 subsection 2

Of the criminal code of canada.

Is this some kind of joke?

You have the right

To retain and instruct counsel without delay--

Does the director know?

He ordered it, sir.

wait, what is going on?

Stand back, please.

Let's go.

-Pops! -Don't!

mr. Sohal, the charges...

They just took him away.

What the hell's all this about?

Constable sohal! Constable sohal!

Has your father officially been charged with treason?

The public deserves to know.

Are you aware of the treason charges

Against your father?

you really don't have to--

No, no, it's just a misunderstanding.

Yeah. No, uncle, it will be fine.

Uh-huh. Mm-hmm.

parveen aunty.

How are you doing, jaan? Come here.

yeah...

I can't sleep, I can't think, I can't even sit down.

I'm all sweaty--

I've changed your diapers,

I think I can handle a little sweat.

tell them we appreciate it,

But we're fine.

Agam aunty, gurleen aunty, and zeenath aunty

Dropped these off.

I said you'd be in touch if you needed anything.

I figured you might need some space.

as soon as we know, uncle.

Thank you.

okay, okay. Bye.

Oh, my god.

They all want to fly in now. From England, from brampton...

Outrageous.

Did you notice not one of them out there--

Not one of them is asking the most obvious question--

Morning, max.

You want to apprehend a treason suspect, go nuts.

But why then?

Why on stage in front of an audience and cameras?

Another brown man accused of plotting against the state.

How's he doing?

-He's hanging in there. -It's a bloody set-up.

Tell me he's not still in remand.

Until we get bail.

Have you seen the condition of those cells?

I know. I know.

This is ridiculous. When can we see him?

I'm working on the clearances as we speak.

What about the actual charges?

After we get through the bail hearing.

-We'll take it from there. -Thanks, max.

Sab, I'm going your way. You want a lift?

Yeah. Thanks.

Sab, you're seriously going in to work today?

I'm "seriously" going to let a bullshit arrest

Derail my first day of work?

I swore an oath, and that means something.

I'm going in.

Maybe this is a sign for you to reconsider that oath.

And the uniform.

And everything that it represents.

Oh, my god,

Is this seriously the time

For an "abolish the police" lecture?

It's not a lecture.

The crown will issue an apology,

And we'll move on.

That's what the justice system is for.

Oh, so you have a master's in denial?

I never said that the system's perfect,

But I'd rather fight from inside it

To make a change

Instead of burying my head in the sand

And doing nothing.

How do I look?

Like a cop.

Do you think he'll be able

To earn back the trust of canadians?

Constable sohal! Constable sohal!

Has your father officially been charged with treason?

Have you spoken with your father?

Our answer is the same as yesterday,

And the day before--

My client is innocent.

Minister sohal's family has been here for generations.

The minister has proudly served his country

His whole life.

This arrest is egregious,

It is based on complete bullshit.

Now, if you want to ask a question,

Maybe you should ask

Whether a white politician

Would have been targeted in this manner.

It is unconscionable.

Now you can excuse me.
