Judge dewey, your openly transphobic behaviour
Is disgusting.
I hope to never see you in my courtroom again.
Colleen: After what I just told you,
Do you think judge dewey deserves to be on the bench?
Judge dewey is accusing me of professional misconduct.
Stay the hell away from my nephew. No!
Colleen: I'm troubled to learn of the government's callous disregard
For your niece's rights as a mother.
Therefore, I find ronnie maloney not guilty
On the charge of kidnapping.

Doug: The first of 699 indian day schools in canada
Opened in 1880.
The last one closing in 2009.
My client, donald christmas,
Is among the estimated 200,000 victims
From across the country.
He attended pine river indian day school.
The evidence will show that sister mary grace locklin
Was vice principal of pine river
From 1977 to 1991.
We will further show that she,
The very person responsible for the well-being of the children,
Initiated student-on-student violence
That was so emotionally and physically damaging
That our client's trauma
Continued right through his adolescence
In high school.
Eventually led to my client's incarceration
Into a juvenile detention centre for the attempted murder
Of an older student, jason bear.
A student that sister mary grace
Coerced into attacking young donald christmas
For years.
We're here today to seek justice.
We're asking the court to find sister mary grace locklin
Guilty of incitement and assault causing bodily harm.
Dubois: Your honour.
My client has been demonized
Because of what's been in the media recently
Regarding this scandalous legacy
Of residential schools.
This frail 86-year-old woman is being used as the scapegoat.
Why place the burden of this atrocity
On one woman's shoulders?
What about the administrators of the school?
Or the indian agent who was stationed
On the pine river reserve?
Yes, residential schools and day schools
Should never have existed,
But the system is to blame.
Sister mary grace faithfully performed her duties,
As instructed,
For nearly thirty years.
There is no case here, your honour.
My client is innocent.
Marcie: What is a day school?
They were government funded, church-run schools
Located on first nations reserves.
They had the same objectives as residential schools,
To assimilate indigenous children into canadian society,
And in most cases, the same abuses took place.
Marcie: Donald christmas was identified as a level two victim.
Can you explain to the court what that means?
Cheyenne claire: There are five levels of abuse used to categorize
The suffering of the claimants.
And do these include criminal acts?
Yes.
Harm, assault,
Assault causing bodily harm,
And sexual assault.
Marcie: Does your research show that these types of crimes
Were committed at the pine river day school?
Yes.
Marcie: Thank you.
I have no further questions, your honour.
[light dramatic music]
You transported migrant worker basil allen out of province-
That is, you moved him from nova scotia to newfoundland.
Hi!
Hey, lester.
Excuse me.
We met in p.E.I.
Where you failed to mentioned you were a clawford.
Couldn't you tell from the family resemblance?
Mr. Clawford, we'd rather not file suit against
You and your family business.
Suit for what?
Ellery: Mr. Allen was on that boat
As part of his employment with goldenview.
He was under your care and supervision.
And at some point during that journey he was killed.
Brian: According to the police,
Mr. Allen was drinking on the boat and fell overboard
While alone on the deck.
You can prove this?
That's not our job.
If you have concerns about the voracity of this investigation,
You should speak with the police.
[light dramatic music]
I will.
You'll be hearing from us.
Looking forward to it.

Iris: This whole box is from the residential school
That sister mary grace taught at.
[doug sighs]
What is it?
Doug: A letter written by an indian agent
On behalf of a mother who hadn't heard from her child
In two years.
Hey, I can go through this and organize it
If you wanna check out for the day.
None of this is new to me.
But it doesn't get any easier.
You know, the first time I went to school outside of eskasoni
Was in the seventh grade,
They bussed a handful of us in from the reserves.
Anyway, I started talking about residential schools in class
And the teacher overheard me and he cut me off and he said,
"I know everything there is to know about canadian history
"and I've never heard that!"
That grown adult man even scowled at me.
There was one other native boy in the class
And he got my attention and whispered,
"my family too."
[solemn music]
The rest of the kids just stared at me.
I knew right then that something wasn't right.
Iris: You never told me that.
It must've been tough.
My point is that,
This was being hidden for so long.
Intentionally.
But we lived it.
[melancholy music]
Doug: Do you see this?
Iris: Looks like a diary.
It was written by someone named sister theodore.
Doug: Yeah, listen.
"dear lord: I pray, I pray, I pray.
"I pray for the soul with a sinister role.
"for within the purest of doves,
"lies the power to ignite the fire of hell."
Oh, gave me goosebumps.
[tense dramatic music]
Huh. -What?
She recorded her concerns
About how the children were being treated.
[tense dramatic music]
By sister mary grace.
[dramatic music swells]
Dr. Picard: What exactly are you looking for?
I understand you did the autopsy on a drowning victim last week.
Basil allen.
I'd like a copy of the report.
I can only release the autopsy to next of kin
Without the superintendent's approval.
Your mom knows that.
She said you might be willing to let me just take a look.
Mmm.
You kids never wanna do it the right way.
Ellery: Well actually I do represent the victim's
Next-of-kin in canada.
His fiancee, trudy willis.
Well, it says here his next-of-kin
Is his mother jean allen.
In jamaica.
Tell me this.
Are you comfortable declaring basil allen's death an accident
Precluding any further investigation
Into the cause of death?
What are you talking about?
I made a full report to the rcmp,
Stating that the victim died from a blow to the head.
I don't decide who they charge or don't charge.
[tense dramatic music]
I'm going for a coffee.
Fill your boots.
I'll be back in five minutes.
Tell your mother she owes me one.

Iris: You scared me.
Iris beals, father?
Jarrod.
How can I help you?
I'm looking for a nun named sister theodore.
Do you know where I can find her?
Sister theodore sadly passed away last year.
What's this in regards to?
I'm working a case regarding a former day school.
I'm familiar with the case.
Uh, unfortunately, I can't help you.
Well, there must still be some records
Pertaining to sister mary grace's time here.
Father jarrod: I am sorry, no.
She was stationed here,
But she retired to the motherhouse in quebec
Fifteen years ago.
This is a staff photo from when the school was still operating?
Yes, it's from the early 80s.
Um, this is sister theodore and sister mary grace
And some of the other day school faculty.
Would it be possible for me to get a copy?
No, I'm-I'm sorry.
We can't have anything to do with this case.
This mission was not responsible for the day school
And now we're getting all the blame.
But ignoring the church's role in the abuses that happened
Doesn't erase history.
If you really wanted to reconcile with this community,
You'd help.
Father, we found sister theodore's diary
And she was very upset with what happened back then.
If she was still alive, I'm sure she'd wanna help.
All I want is to find someone, anyone,
Who knew her,
Who could maybe corroborate what she wrote.
So that her voice can still be heard.

Martin, if you're concerned about me being in conflict.
Marcie diggs she didn't approach me-
It's not about you being in conflict.
What was martin jesper doing here?
Did he offer you your old job back?
He's adding grounds to the ronnie maloney appeal,
Says that colleen should have recused herself
Or that I should've asked her to recuse herself.
That appeal's been going on for months
And now they're just noticing who the judge was?
Ronnie maloney does not deserve this.

My verdict on the maloney case?
They're saying since you're boss at legal aid
That you shouldn't have heard the case.
I was harder on you than anybody else in that courtroom!
It doesn't matter.
It's perception, right?

Yes, sorry. I forgot to rsvp.
Of course I'm coming!
You're my best friend, who I automatically
Let win in my courtroom, right?
[doug chuckles]
See ya.
We've uncovered a journal kept by a former principal
At pine river and we would like it admitted as evidence.
On what grounds?
Sister theodore was sister mary grace's supervisor.
We are submitting ledgers and employment records
That correlate with the entries written in the journal.
The dates also coincide with the abuses
That sister theodore recorded
And said that sister mary grace was the perpetrator.
Your honour, we've reviewed this document.
It is a diary.
It's a private diary written by a nun who is now deceased.
It's impossible to test its voracity.
Marcie: It was a working journal
That logged all of the official performance details
From teachers and students.
Now if I may,
I'd like to just read a small section to the court.
On October 22nd, 1982, sister theodore wrote:
"I resuscitated a small child from the primary class today
"who's named donald christmas
"after he was attacked by an older student named jason bear.
"upon questioning, jason said
"that he was instructed by sister mary grace
"to punish donald because he had soiled himself."
End quote.
Objection, your honour.
That's hearsay.
It's a business record.
None of that makes any of these entries true.
Your honour, the descriptive content goes far beyond
Employment records.
Without the author here to testify,
I can't properly defend my client
Against these lurid accusations.
I'm sorry, ms. Diggs, but mr. Dubois is correct.
The diary is inadmissible.
Court's adjourned.
We will reconvene at 1:30.

Dr. Mcdonaugh: I treated students under the authority of indian affairs.
Administered fluoride treatments,
Conducted general check ups, that sort of thing.
Can you speak to the general health of the students
That you observed during your visits?
Yes, uh, I frequently encountered children
Who had visible bruises,
Lesions, cracked teeth.
Did they ever explain how they acquired their injuries?
Dr. Mcdonaugh: I started stopping some of them in the hallways
And outside just to chat, you know,
When sister mary grace wasn't around.
That's when some of them were brave enough to tell me
That sister mary grace goaded them into fighting.
Objection. Hearsay.
Judge russo: Sustained.
Dr. Mcdonaugh,
Can you identify this child?
I...
That's you.

I have no further questions for the witness.
Dubois: Dr. Mcdonaugh.

How may years did you treat children
At the pine river day school?
Uh, for 43 years.
And yet during all those years,
Despite your alleged concern for these children,
You never spoke to anyone about it?
I reported my observations to my supervisor at the time-
But you never made an official complaint.
[light dramatic music]
No.
I see.
Dubois: Dr. Mcdonaugh,
If the children under your medical care
Were really suffering,

But she wasn't allowed to eat the apples.
Yeah, there were severe consequences for anyone
Caught stealing food.
When I started school here she couldn't come to the orchard
Because it brought back too many bad memories.
So I started picking apples and bringing them home to her.
Eventually she dealt with it.
She learned how to bake apple pie.

I asked for a copy of the arrest report,
Which don't worry, I'll forward to you.
A temp worker named mike mccleod was also on the boat.
He turned himself in and made a full confession.
[tense music]
Secretary: Right in the middle of...
Colleen, what can I do for you?
You can lay off my people.
What are you talking about?
Your specious, underhanded complaint
To the crown and barristers' society.
Judge dewey: "specious" and "underhanded".
Like when a friend goes behind your back
To undermine you and try to derail your career?
You wanna come for someone, come for me.
Don't go after my innocent friends and colleagues.
[tense music]
Are they innocent?
Hm, I guess that remains to be seen.
I'm ashamed I ever called you a friend.
[speaking in mi'kmaq] my name is kitpu.
It's the mi'kmaq word for eagle,
But my english name is donald christmas.
L'nuisin?
I asked him if he spoke the language.
Kishka'h ji.
Just a little bit.
But I'm not fluent because
I wasn't allowed to speak my language growing up.
Doug: Yesterday you confirmed that you were physically struck
As a student at pine river.
Mmhmm.
Doug: Kitpu, can you identify the person that assaulted you?
This is ridiculous. Stop this.
Just hold on, be calm.
[speaking in mi'kmaq]
Sister mary grace.
[light dramatic music]
Donald deserved every beating he ever got.
He never listened and clearly he never learned his lesson!
Dubois: Sister, you need to calm down.
Calm down?
Sister mary grace: He is speaking that primitive language
That none of us can even understand
Just to make up lies about me!
[gavel thuds]
Enough!
Court is adjourned.
[dramatic music]
Probably the best thing we can do, so...
[sister mary grace sighs]
My client has been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer
And has very limited time left.
Doug: Wow, how convenient.
Yes, it's because I work for god
And god takes care of me.
We can provide the medical records
Attesting to the recent diagnosis.
Is that what you want?
To send a dying woman to prison?
Yeah.
We'd like to offer a plea deal.
An apology.
I will never apologize!
My actions were sanctioned by the church.
I would never accept an apology from you
Because it would mean nothing.
You know, the word sorry
Doesn't have a meaning in my culture.
The only way to fix a problem is by changed behaviour.
Doug: This is insulting.
She couldn't control herself in the courtroom
Or in this very moment.
Could you imagine what she did to her students?
An apology is unacceptable.
Sister mary grace: I answer to god.
I do not answer to you.
Please, stop.
Marcie: This deal's gonna work on our terms:
Sister mary grace will make a kgb statement
Providing the names of her co-conspirators
So that when she dies the evidence
Will still be admissible in court.
Now, she can either take the deal or she can die in prison.
[dramatic music]
[doug sighs]
What's this?
Doug: Affidavits signed by sister mary grace
Listing the names of all the other abusers
At pine river indian day,
As well as residential school.
This is incredible.
There is a litany of abuses and assaults here.
Described in graphic detail.
I have to hand it to you, doug.
Good job.
Now do yours.
Marcie: What do you have?
Ellery: Basil allen's pathology report.
Zero alcohol levels and signs of trauma
Indicating signs of a struggle.
No water in his lungs so he didn't drown.
He died on that boat and was thrown overboard.
So, we have the clawfords?
Ellery: No, we have their fall guy.
Michael mccleod, 43, of st. John's, newfoundland,
With a history of summary offences
Around drinking and fighting.
He turned himself in.
Admitted to assaulting basil and knocking him overboard.
These people...
They kill basil allen's little brother and then they,
They had their lackey kill him?
I'm not letting them get away with this.
[hand knocking]
Marcie? -Yes?
Thank you.
It's from vivian jefferson's lawyers.
She's giving me thirty days
To pay back the eight million that she invested or...
She's selling off her interest in the firm.
What?
[doug sighs]
[light dramatic music]
I, I need a minute.

[phone buzzing]
What's up?
I need to see you.
