Faultline

10-7, investigation at.

What the hell happened here, besides the obvious?

Well, we got an anonymous call to 911.

Caller heard an argument, followed by a gunshot.

While crime scene's doing its job,

let's go talk to the front desk.

The affair is well-documented.

They met at Phoenix Gold, apparently.

We got motel receipts from the Wagon Wheel.

Medical examiner seems to think the timeline

is quite conclusive.

Matches the checking, matches the 911 call.

Darrin McKay was shot first,

before Eve Tennant took her own life.

...two daughters of Eve Tennant.

Well, let's talk to the girls.

Damn it.

Hey, hey, can't let anybody in right now.

We'll continue to follow the strike team,

and anticipate more information

after this afternoon's press conference.

Shares of Phoenix Gold fell as much

as six point three percent in the free market trading.

An underground collapse resulted in

the death of 24 employees.

The company spokesperson has confirmed

that all rescue activities have been suspended,

and that all efforts are now focused

on the recovery of bodies.

As we continue to follow this story, shock waves have--

That's our mom!

But improves their tax position.

Not easy, but there are a number

of junior targets in the North Sea.

I'm not sure we can go that route.

They'd only be able to use 50% of brought forward losses

on 50% profits. We need to look further afield.

I'm going to interrupt.

I want to bring up a possibility

that's perhaps a bit outside of the box.

A gold producer out of Canada, Phoenix Gold,

has suffered major collapse at one of their mines.

There is an exception under Canadian tax rule

which permits a parent corp to wind up a subsidiary

to use the losses against its own income or gains.

You do realize that Orium is in oil.

Mining falls under the energy umbrella.

This is an ideal way to offset losses

while diversifying the portfolio at the same time.

Besides, Phoenix Gold share price is in a freefall.

They may be amenable to a white knight merger.

I like it.

Paige, can you get a preliminary file together?

Lay out the deal, metrics and timeline,

I want to send it over by one.

I can, but I think

Scott should handle this one.

I'm tied up on a few of my current files here.

I don't have time to travel at the moment.

Besides, Scott's more than capable.

Glad you think so.

Okay, it's yours.

Let's outline the plan of attack.

Paige.

- Trouble? - The opposite.

Orium wants to move on this.

It was a brilliant suggestion, actually.

Great. I'm glad it looks viable.

We're sending Scott to Calgary

to conduct the due diligence. I want you on this, too.

Is that really necessary?

I want my best on this.

Scott has the details--

I don't have a problem working with Scott.

However, there may be a conflict of interest.

My mother cleaned offices for Phoenix Gold.

Joe Buchanan, the CEO, was one of

the few people to show up to her funeral.

We haven't kept in touch or anything, but-

This is a billion-dollar deal.

So, yes, it's necessary.

You're both going to be up for partner this year,

let's not give him an easy way to get ahead.

Plus, I don't see how that could be construed

as a conflict of interest. unless there's something

more you wanted to add.

No, nothing.

Great. Your flights are booked.

Right, well, I should go pack.

Hmm!

I've decided to accept Oxford.

So, you're just leaving?

Wow.

Jessie here. Better be important.

Jessie, it's Paige.

I'm sorry I missed your birthday last week.

But guess what? I'm gonna be in town tomorrow night.

I would love to take you for a drink to celebrate.

I'll come to you.

So, this is Cowtown.

Somehow, I can't picture you here.

When's the last time you were home?

I don't know.

10, 15 years ago, I guess?

Well, I'm sure a lot's changed since then.

We should go for dinner tonight.

You can fill me in on the must-knows about this place.

I actually have plans with my sister.

But Calgary, it's a small town dressed up

as a big city where everybody knows everybody.

Or at the very least, their business.

It's pretty much all you need to know.

Paige.

Ah, it's been so very long.

Now I know our meeting's not 'til tomorrow,

but I thought I'd pop by for a quick hello.

Joe, this is Scott Eastman.

- Hi, Scott. - Pleasure.

Scott will be heading up the case

and handling the due diligence while we're in town.

Well, meet Warren Maclean,

senior partner and outside counsel for Phoenix.

He's been with us from the start.

I hope that doesn't age me too much.

Great to meet you both.

We've commandeered an office for you and, uh,

managed to poach one of our legal assistants

here as well, Sophie Dale.

All the files have been sent over.

I think you'll find everything's in good order.

Well, I don't expect the DD to take long at all.

The fun part will be hammering out the deal.

If either of you need anything,

Sophie knows where to find me.

Thank you.

Uh, Joe, could I speak with you for a moment?

Yeah, sure.

I wasn't sure if you'd even remember me,

But I haven't forgotten you showing up

for my mom back then.

How are you doing?

Um, I've been better.

But we're, we're almost through this

health and safety investigation,

and with this deal on the table,

I think we're gonna be fine. But none of that hardly matters.

We're all hurting right now for these men's families.

- I can't imagine. - Oh.

Do you have any idea what caused the collapse?

Well, it appears that the company's blasting plan

triggered a seismic shift

along a previously undiscovered fault line.

It's a-- the subsequent quake caused the collapse.

But, um, I'm really glad you're part of this team

for the acquisition.

Confident we're going to close quickly.

Well, it is our top priority.

Yeah.

Um, I just wanted

to let you know that I'll be leaving soon.

In case you need me.

Sorry, Sophie, we'll be done shortly, as well.

Let's finish this off.

Huh.

I said we should finish this off

before we call it a night.

No, no, I heard that, there-- there appears

to be some date discrepancy between these two files.

-Uh, it's minor, though. -Flag them.

This deal is too important to be careless.

Sure, but as I said, it's minor.

We should call it a night.

Um, breakfast tomorrow, seven AM?

- That should work. - Perfect.

See you tomorrow, Tennant.

Sophie?

Could you pull the original underground plans

for the Aspire Mine?

I need them for the morning.

Thanks.

I think you're gonna need another drink.

We broke up a few weeks ago.

Really? I take it it wasn't amicable.

Yeah, we both knew it wasn't working.

At least I thought we did.

I guess I'm gonna have to find another bar to drink in.

I wouldn't say that.

You know, if it was up to me, I'd rather have cops

than lawyers in here.

Thanks for that.

You better drink that one, then.

I'm working nights this week.

Well, good thing I'm off in about a half an hour.

Love bites.

Cheers to that.

Sorry, don't know why I did that.

My shift starts in half an hour.

Hmm.

I guess you better go.

Yeah, but we should grab a drink soon.
