Previously, on Under the Bridge...
My niece is missing, and no one gives a damn about it!
- Tell Mom I'll be home soon.
They call themselves "C.M.C."
"Crip Mafia Cartel."
Can you keep a secret?
One that turns out to be true
was the location of the girl's body.
This afternoon, just a short distance...
Rebecca's writing a book about me. We're gonna go to New York.
The devil is working inside Josephine Bell.
Turns out, Papa Virk's got a record.
- What? - And where did you get this?
If you talk to me, then maybe I can get some truth out there.
Manjit had nothin' to do with this.
Where are your boots from?
Mm. My uncle gave them to me for my birthday.
They're Steve Madden.
- We'll come meet your stupid parents. - Great.
- It'll be fun. - Yeah.
- Kelly? Are those Reena's?
I did it for you.
On November 14, 1997,
Kelly Ellard killed me.
My Reena.
Some might see that as the end of my story.
But my father always taught me....
...stories have no end and no beginning.
We always get a piece, plucked from the whole.
Okay. Smile.
Stories of our futures
are stories of our ancestors.
To understand what happened to me,
we should start with my grandparents.
They arrived in Canada in 1951.

Hello. - Hi. I'm Kelly.
- I'm Jo. - My name's Dusty.
- Welcome. Uh, sorry, you--
I'm Kelly's mom. Susan.
Oh, I'm Suman.
It's like Susan, but with an "M" in the middle.
Almost the same.
- Hey, guys. What's up? Hey.
- Hey. What's up?
I better not have to take my shoes off.
Jo, come on. You can't say that.
It's okay. Hi.
You're welcome to keep your shoes on if you like.
We want you to be comfortable in our home.
Good.
Why don't I show you guys upstairs?
Sure. - Alright.
Please. Over here is the living room.
- You have a lovely home. - Thank you.
- You're welcome to stay for dinner. - Oh, no, thank you.
I'll take a rain check.
Is that a baby lamb?
That's at my great-grandma's in India.
I saw her being born.
- You wanna see some more photos? Yeah, sure.
Okay, so, this is when we went camping with my parents' friends...
Mr. Virk, you know, you have a beautiful home.
Thank you. - Kelly has a really nice house too.
She even has a hot tub.
You seem to come from a great family, Kelly.
This is so cool. Where'd you guys take this?
- Oh-- - Oh, Epcot. World Showcase.
Yeah, I've been there twice.
Actually, this was taken from our trip to Japan.
We spent two weeks in Asia.
- It was amazing. - Kelly, have you ever been to Asia?
So, you got siblings?
Yeah, so, this one is actually Aman, my younger brother. This is--
Can we see the rest of your house?
Totally. Yeah. I'll show you guys around.
Here, this way.
- Do you guys want any drinks or anything?
- Suman, [speaking Punjabi]. What? Anything you guys want.
They're just admiring our home.
These girls, they don't have anything like this, and if we help them...
- we help Reena.
Every day, she's more like them.
Come on.
Once upon a time, we weren't what our parents wanted either.
Hm? Remember?
♪ There's a highway ♪
My father came from India to visit his sister in 1979.
He thought he'd reached the end of this trip,
but he was actually beginning the most important chapter of his life.

Manjit.
It might be my last,
and I want Mom to have as many pictures as she can when I get back.

Yes.
You know, this country is full of opportunity.
Why do you say it like that?
What sort of opportunity?
Come here.
Amar, I am not doing that.
Besides, you really think I'm going to meet someone here I like?
It's just an idea.
Is it so bad I want my brother in Canada with me?
You could always come back home to India.
They really converted you, huh?
It wasn't exactly a hard sell.
♪ I'm gonna lay here, alright ♪
Hi! You look so lovely.
Yeah, that's my brother. He's handsome.
Thank you again.
- Raj, turn that off, please.
Suman.
Look what I have here.
Sumi, there's someone I want to introduce you to.
He's an engineer, and he's a Witness.
[scoffs] Mom! - What?
At least I found someone handsome for you this time.
Let her enjoy the party, Tarsem.
She can wait a few years to find someone.
Well, he comes from a really good family.
And we have to strike while the iron is hot.
- I didn't know about this. - Well, I told you.
But it could be a great match.
Mrs. Masihajjar, it's so nice to meet you.
I am Amarjit's brother.
She speaks so highly of you.
Do you mind if I borrow your daughter?
I was hoping she might show me where that delicious smell is coming from.
- There's more food outside. - Oh, uh, I am starving.
Uh--
Did you know Amarjit had a brother?
- Who is Amarjit?
You know, I have a sixth sense for an arrangement about to happen.
- Yeah, you really saved me. - I'm Manjit.
- Suman. - Suman.
- Here. - Thank you.
This is your room?
It's big.
Uh, yeah, I guess.
Yo, what's your bird's name?
Smooch.
Super creepy you don't have a door.
What's in here?
Oh, that's my mom's closet.
Oh, shit.
- Jackpot.
- See? Told you we should come.
Those were my great...
great-great grandmother's.
They're called, uh, jhumkas.
All the way from the Mughal Empire
before the British colonization.
You know, my...
my own mother gave these to me many years ago.
And when she's older...
they will be my gift...
to Reena.
I love that sari.
It's my favorite.
Yeah, it's so cute. Right?
Totally. [laughs] I'd try it on,
I just don't think it's exactly my size.
Dusty, it might fit you.
Actually, uh, it can fit anybody.
I think it would look great on you, Dusty. You wanna try it?
Uh... yeah.
Come.
Come on.
Okay, so, this is the blouse...
Here. Jo, this one would look great on you.
- Okay. That's a great color.
Are you just gonna watch us change?
- Of course not. I--
- Dad, leave! - I'm warming up the dinner.
You could,
you could also try this one maybe.
Hey, Mrs. Virk? - Yeah?
Uh, where's your washroom?
Oh, it's, um, down the hall past Reena's room.
- Thank you. - You're welcome.
- You know blue's my color, right?
Oh?
I'm gonna put this thing on in here.
Oh yeah. N-No, of course.
Okay. Cool.
It's okay, it's okay.
- Hey, hey, hey.
I'm sorry. Come here.
How long have you been in Canada?
Almost a month now.
According to my astrologer,
I was always destined for a life overseas.
You know, the West is a dream.
Oh, you're a fresh one, alright.
What do you mean?
You still got on rose-colored glasses.
You think everything out here is covered in pixie dust.
Your family seems to be thriving.
It wasn't easy.
Not until my parents finally found their people,
the Witnesses.
You can't even imagine how hard it is to find another Indian Witness.
I bet my mom's been hunting down that engineer for months.
Well, she must not be very happy with me right now.

You know, my family, we are Sikhs.

They're "signs of rebelliousness."
Ah, but to Sikhs, they're quite important.
One of the few customs a rulebreaker like me follows.
Mm.
You already feel like trouble.
You know, a few months ago, I was in India
begging to jump out of airplanes.
- So, yes, I am. - Why?
I wanted to be a paratrooper in the Indian Army.

Truth be told, I was crushed.
I've never even been on an airplane.

Dad, you said we were getting takeout.
But this is much better. Goat's cheese and pepper.
Nice outfits.
Thank you, that's so sweet.
And for you.
- Mm, this is actually pretty good. - Oh, thank you.
It looks way better than the shit they serve at the group home.
- Sorry. - I'll pack you girls leftovers.
Our family always says a prayer before we eat.
Mom, you promised.
Manjit, it-it's okay.
Come on.
Please.
Heavenly Father,
thank you for this food that you have blessed us with.
We know how generous you can be,
and we hope to share this generosity with others.
In Jesus's name, amen.
Amen.
Um, I know you like sundaes, so...
- So, Dusty. Mm-hm?
It must be difficult for you in the group home
without your family around, huh?
Uh, yeah.
My sister used to take care of me, but, um,
I did some stupid stuff, and she kicked me out.
Wow.
That must have been such a loss.
My own sister and I were very close, uh, before she returned to India.
We will say a prayer for you to be reunited.
Family is so important.
Nah, you don't, you don't need to do that.
- I'm good.
I'll get it.
Jo, you know what this reminds me of?
Remember when we were younger, and we prank called that one pizza place?
Hey, Jo, do you want another slice?
- Not done. - You know, my father was in the army,
and he was never really around.
I never had that role model in my life.
So, I know a little bit, uh, where you're coming from, Josephine.
Uh, Reena told me you've been dealt a tough hand.
Uh, Manjit, why don't we just eat?
Everyone that should've protected you has failed you.
- Dad, stop. - It breaks my heart.
- You don't have a, a home, a family.
The children should be loved,
not abandoned and left to care for themselves.
- I'd love to try and help you, Josephine-- - You're a fucking retard!
- Y-- - You don't even know me!
Dad! You don't know what you're talking about! Shut up!
- Reena! Reena, pl-- Sit! - Jo, wait!
Mum, Dad, you remember Manjit?
Yes. Is he joining us? - Is that okay?
I asked you to come here because...
these past few weeks,
I feel I've really gotten to know him...
and...
we wanna be together.
Really?
But you've just admitted that you've known him
for very little time.
Well, you were ready to match me with a stranger.
He's not even of your faith.
Dad.
You know I think you're too young to get married.
- But Dad--
Mukand.
Aunty, please. I love your daughter.
"Aunty"?
We've gotten that familiar, have we?
Last month, it was "Mrs. Masihajjar" and today, we're at "Aunty"?
Mum, come on.
You're not being fair. I know what I want.
What exactly do you know, Suman? Hm?
I know he's willing to give up
his whole life in India to be with me.
I've done my homework on Manjit.
Have you?
Did he tell you how he's weeks past his expired tourist visa?
His sister has a big mouth.
The boy needs a permanent resident card,
and he needs it fast.
Now, his sister doesn't make enough money to qualify to sponsor him,
but there is another way.
Isn't there?
How was it?
It was fucking horrible.
You screwed everything up!
Reena! Reena!
- Wait!
What did I do?
No.
Smooch?
Reena?
Reena, my earrings are missing. My jhumkas.
They robbed us, Reena.
- I'm gonna call the police. - You're being crazy.
We don't want you to spend any more time with them.
You have no fucking idea what you're talking about.
- Hey! - Reena!
- My friends would never do that! Listen to yourself.
How can you possibly think they're your friends?
Well, at least they let me hang out with them.
No one else does.
Reena, look at the way they're treating you.
You don't get it.
Girls like Jo, they...
they get everything they want,
and I never do.
You have every advantage.
A-A mother and father who would do anything for you.
Home-cooked meals.
- We take you on holidays.
Those girls have none of that!
- Reena.
Reena, we just love you! Don't you love us?
Manjit, do you not love us anymore?
Why are you doing this?
That's not it, Ma. I want to do this.
I believe in this.
- I know it means leaving our faith...
but this is what I want to do.
It just requires some sacrifices.
[on phone] Are you happy there? Yes, I am happy.
There is a good life for me here in Canada.
And I love her.
You told me Witnesses do not keep beards.
Manjit, I would never have asked this of you.
I know that.
I choose this.
Look, what we have,
what we have is real, Suman.
I want to share your values with you.
I want to share everything with you.
That's all this has ever been about, I promise.
You didn't say anything about a mustache.
There is a place for us here together. I know it.
And I'll do whatever it takes.
For us, for our future...
our family.
Hey.
I just wanted to say that my dad's fucking stupid.
I'm not allowed to hang out with you guys anymore.
- Seriously? Yeah.
So, I just wanted to say bye.
Tragic.
My mom said you took her earrings and my bird, Smooch.
Why would I want those ugly earrings and your dumb fucking bird?
Don't talk about Smooch that way.
You wanna fucking go, huh?
- How do you even live in that house?
It's practically a concentration camp.
Ya think I don't know that? I hate it there.
Honestly...
I feel sorry for you.
Compared to your insane house,
I'm living in paradise over here.
I chose to live here.
You know that?
My mom begged me to stay.
Like, got on her knees crying and shit.
It was kinda sad, to be honest.
But rules?
No thanks.
Here, nobody tells me what to do.
That sounds amazing.
Ya know, if you're really that miserable,
I do know a way you can get out of there.
But you're gonna have to be a gangster.
Like me.
- I can be a gangster.
- I can.
Seven Oaks, this is Martha.
I have to tell you something...
about my dad.
Suman.
Just going to the store.
So early?
Where are you really going?
Manjit loves me.
He's going to convert for me.
I know.
The Elders told me.
Wait.
This is for you.
And this is for...
whoever you want to give it to.
What about Dad?
Give him time.
