Blood & Berries

Previously, on Allegiance
I wanted to say I'm sorry.
You keep trying to be with me,
I keep pushing you away,
and I don't want to do that anymore.
- What's all this?
- Our bosses have released
us from the dungeon.
What are you doing up here?
Waiting for my partner to be cleared
by your people.
You can't just keep winging
it. Just like Stephen Rechy.
- I had to go after Rechy
- You chose to go rogue.
To cut off communication
with your partner,
your team paralyzed,
while you enjoy the lucky streak
of your one-woman show called
"Following My Instincts".
[VINCE] The Assistant Commissioner
ordered you to stand down.
Yes, and I am balancing that order
with my own moral and
professional judgment.
Zak, I'm sorry.
I was brought here to be your partner.
Partners need trust.
Are you with us?
[CAMPBELL] She's not the only one
on this crusade.
Schelling tells me there's
another cop backing her.
You know who she's got
deep in her pockets?
Stay close to Brambilla.
Keep me informed.
With respect, Oliver,
I think I'm done working your beat.
I understand your son is
filing an appeal from prison.
I could help,
or I could make sure that
that appeal dies on the vine.
I can also make sure that
every inmate in that prison
knows that his father's a cop.
You'll be my eyes and ears.
[♪♪♪]
[♪♪♪]
[♪♪♪]
Oh, my God.
What is that?
Dad!
[♪♪♪]
I'm trying to get you out of my head ♪
But you got me tripping ♪
Got me falling instead ♪
I need to get you off of my chest ♪
But you got me hooked ♪
You got me coming right back ♪
Baby girl you got a hold on me ♪
[SABRINA] Hey!
I think my dad's car just
pulled into the driveway.
- What? Are you serious?
- Yeah.
He's supposed to be in
Ottawa. What are you
Okay. That is
That is so not funny.
It's not funny? It's a little funny.
His flight doesn't land
for another few hours.
Um, thank you for
coming over last night.
Um no.
I think thank you.
This smells amazing.
What are you making?
Je vous présente
the famous Brugmann aeble.
- "Aeble."
- Aeble.
Oh, that's incredible.
What's the, uh, famous Sohal dish?
Burgers.
Burgers?
Yeah, my mom used to put
all kinds of spices in them.
I don't even know what they were,
but those were the best burgers ever.
When are you gonna make 'em for me?
I never really learned how to make them.
Um, I've been thinking
about something Zak said
about how I try to solve
everything on my own,
and I put others at risk because
I don't let myself trust.
Do you think he's wrong?
[PHONE BUZZES]
Duty calls?
Yeah.
To be continued?
[♪♪♪]
[VINCE] Morning.
Morning.
What have we got?
[VINCE] South-Asian male, 20s to 30s.
Paddleboarders found him.
No I.D.
And we're thinking it's foul play?
Suspicious, at least.
There was no sign of an
overturned kayak or canoe.
He's got a nasty gash
at the back of his head,
and a serious depressed fracture.
Most likely would've
caused fatal brain damage.
He could've hit a rock
on his way down the river?
The Serpentine isn't
a fast-moving river.
He would've had to hit
that rock really hard.
Yeah, that's why we're thinking
it had to be something else,
or someone else.
That discolouration on his face
is it bruising or decomp?
Uh, bruising.
It looks like he took
some pretty intense blows.
That, there, that's decomp
blood pooling after death.
- It's in early stages.
- He hasn't been dead long?
- A few days, at most.
- How long is the river?
About 35 clicks. Runs through Surrey.
So his body could've been dumped in
anywhere along the shore.
Maybe the suspect left tire tracks, DNA?
Yeah, I'll have officers
look upstream, bring in K9.
[ZAK] Great. Do it ASAP,
before we lose the scent trail.
[VINCE] Copy that.
Paddleboarders found
that snagged on a branch.
It's a good thing, too,
or he would've floated
out to the Pacific.
[SABRINA] Well, there could
be an inscription inside.
Some of the gold ones,
they've got a family name on them.
Could give us an I.D.
Can you get it off?
I got something back at the
lab that'll get it off clean.
[♪♪♪]
[SABRINA] Wait. Gillian?
I'm sending you a photo
- of an image found on the John Doe.
- [SNAP]
- On it.
- Can you get us prints?
Well, I'll have to inject the skin
to restore the ridges in his fingers,
but should be doable.
Great. Maybe we'll get lucky
and he'll be in our system.
Sabrina! Got something.
- Go.
- I found a "P.C.F."
that stands for Pacific Coast Farms.
It looks like the shirt
is a worker's uniform.
Great. Send an address.
Let's go. We're already behind.
Thanks, Tenille.
[♪♪♪]
[DOOR THUDS]
[TRAFFIC DRONING PAST]
[SABRINA] Excuse me?
Sat sri akal.
I'm Detective Sohal.
This is Detective Kalaini.
Welcome.
I'm Mohinder Das.
I take it you're not
here for my berries?
Not today.
Have you had any workers
go missing in the last week or so?
- No.
- Has anyone quit recently?
Can I ask what this is about?
Uncle, we found a
body in the Serpentine,
and we believe that the
man may have worked for you.
I'd like to show you a photo.
Uh, it might be a little disturbing.
That's Tejpaul Soni.
How
How did he die?
Well, that's what we're
trying to find out.
Mr. Das, when was the
last time you saw him?
Uh three days ago.
When
What happened?
Well, some of the workers' jewellery
started to go missing
from the bunkhouses.
Necklaces, bracelets, rings
anything that was gold.
- And Tejpaul was stealing it?
- Yeah.
One of my workers caught him.
I had to fire him.
I did everything I could for Tejpaul.
It wasn't easy for him.
- What "wasn't easy"?
- Everything.
These young men they come here,
carrying so much on their shoulders.
They have to find work, a place to live.
Learn a new language,
just so they can send money
home to their families,
and pray that, one day,
they can bring them here.
And how long had Tejpaul been here?
Tejpaul came here six
months ago, from India.
We'll need you to come
in and identify the body.
Who did you say it was that
caught Tejpaul stealing?
[SPEAKING PUNJABI]
Jeevan, English.
Tejpaul stole my necklace.
It's beautiful. What does it say?
"Walia". It was my mom's.
Only thing I have of hers.
I thought I lost it, in the fields
then I saw a necklace fall
out of Tejpaul's pocket.
I tried to look at it, but he said no.
So how'd you get a closer look?
You two get into a fight?
Jeevan had nothing to
do with Tejpaul's death.
Jeevan, were you and Tejpaul friends?
We worked side by side, all day.
Uh, only time I wasn't
with him was when he
Oh, he took smoke breaks?
[SPEAKING PUNJABI]
If you were such good friends,
what's up with the bruises?
Ah, it's okay. Tell them what happened.
I followed him into Surrey.
He was going to sell it,
he said he needed money.
- For what?
- I don't know!
I didn't ask. I just [SIGHS]
took my necklace back.
You mean, you got into a
fight and you left him dead?
No! No. No, no, no.
Tejpaul and Jeevan came
back to work the next day.
Jeevan told me what happened.
I had to fire Tejpaul.
I know how this looks.
Jeevan can get a little bit
angry,
but I can assure you,
he has been here, on
the farm, all the time,
since Tejpaul left.
Where did you follow
Tejpaul to, in Surrey?
I don't know the name.
Uh, there were horses there.
All right. Thanks, Jeevan.
Thank you, Mr. Das.
Thank you for your time.
Well, there's one place
in town that has horses,
and people only go there for one thing.
Really? No one?
[VINCE] Been showing photos
of the stolen jewellery
to my pawn shop guys,
but none of them have that
gold in their inventory.
- No?
- Negative.
No one has seen anyone
matching Tejpaul's description.
You were right.
Front desk gave me a list
of bets made by Tejpaul.
He was here often, and lost a ton.
He had to have been selling that gold
to place those bets.
All right, we'll stay on it.
[SABRINA] Thanks, Vince.
You got that thing
filled up pretty good.
I like to be thorough, because
Oh, God, don't say it.
good notes make good arrests.
Arrests, yeah.
Come on, Vince.
You're telling me,
after all these years,
you've crossed every "t",
you've dotted every "i".
You haven't just had a case
where you just let loose?
I know a place.
[BHANGRA THEME PLAYING]
A smash-n-grab brought us
here a couple of months ago.
You hear some things about this shop.
Hello.
How you doing?
Welcome!
What are we looking for today?
This real gold? All come from Punjab?
The entire collection.
Please, take a look.
Discount for you both
for your service, of course.
A discount?
What a nice guy.
And it's already priced so reasonably.
Must have cost you a fortune
to bring all this in from overseas, huh?
[VINCE] Unless he gets
it from somewhere else.
'Cause we have reason to believe
that you may be selling
stolen jewellery.
Oh. No, sir. Uh
Let me g I'll call my manager.
Yeah.
Hey, Vince?
[♪♪♪]
[VINCE] It's a match.
Tejpaul has been selling his stuff here.
Aw, he's running.
- You go.
- Come on.
Fine.
- [CHAIN LINK RATTLING]
- Hey. Hey!
Where you going?
Sullivan Race Track betting sheets.
Looks like you and Tejpaul
made some very, very large bets.
Betting on horses isn't a crime.
No. But stealing is.
You and Tejpaul had a few losses,
and you came up with a
clever way to keep on betting.
I don't know who you're talking about.
Tejpaul stole gold from his co-workers,
which you then sold at
Gold Class Jewellers.
This necklace is the same as
this one, which was reported stolen.
Do you know how many necklaces
with letters I've sold?
Tejpaul is dead.
If you two got into some bad company,
you're gonna want to tell us.
He's dead?
So you do know who he is.
Our families are from
the same village
Baltoya.
My mother made me spend time
with him when he arrived.
When was the last time you saw him?
A week ago.
Maybe 10 days.
Did you or Tejpaul get
involved with loan sharks?
No! We were just
I know nothing about
Tejpaul owing money,
or bad guys coming after him.
[♪♪♪]
[ZAK] The bets Tejpaul made
without his friend
back there are larger,
but he still wasn't winning.
[SABRINA] He had to have
gotten money from someone else.
Sounds like a mystery.
You want another?
Got the bracelet off.
You were right there's
an inscription inside.
"Walia"?
Why do I know that name?
I already told you everything.
Why am I here?
You told us about your necklace,
but not about your gold kara.
I don't wear one.
You attacked Tejpaul when
he stole your necklace.
You thought you taught him a lesson.
But when he stole your
kara, you snapped
you killed him, and you
dumped him in the river,
but you forgot to take your kara back.
What are you talking about?
Where did you get this?
Tejpaul was wearing it
No! That's
impossible.
Why?
"Walia."
This is my dad's.
He's been dead for 30 years.
I'm saying the truth
I didn't kill Tejpaul.
I didn't even know he had my dad's kara,
because I never had it.
I've never had anything from him.
All right, let's just take a breath.
Okay?
You know, I've only ever seen pictures.
My mom's family gave it to
him on their wedding day.
She said he never took it off. Ever.
And is your mom still alive?
She died last year.
I'm sorry.
[♪♪♪]
Look. Their wedding.
My dad's wearing his kara.
- [SABRINA] What was your dad's name?
- Kuldip.
He came to Canada one
year after their marriage.
He found work at a sawmill.
He came alone,
because my mom was pregnant with me.
He was supposed to get settled,
and then bring you both over?
But he didn't.
What happened?
Don't know.
People in Baltoya told
my mom he abandoned us.
She refused to believe,
said he would never leave us like that.
She called your police many times
you never did anything!
I'll check on that.
She kept saying that "he'll come back."
She refused to leave the
village, barely left home.
Ruined her life.
You know, this is my mom's.
Whenever I use this hand,
it's like I can feel her guiding me.
Is that how it feels for you?
There's this spot on the farm
past the shed and old tools.
It looks like the place
I'd take my mom for walks.
Wearing this
makes me feel like I'm
still walking with her.
Jeevan, do you believe
that your dad's still alive?
He's dead.
[ELEVATOR DINGS]
[INDISTINCT EXCHANGE]
Mr. Das.
Are you okay, puth?
Everything finished?
Jeevan, can we have a moment?
He's still a person of interest,
but we are releasing him into your care.
Okay. I I understand.
And I just wanted to ask, um,
do you know when Tejpaul's
body is gonna be released?
I wanted to cover the costs
of sending the ashes back
to his family in India.
I'll let you know as soon as I hear.
Do you know anything
about Jeevan's father,
Kuldip Walia?
Uh, Jeevan asked me the same thing,
when he first arrived
I never heard of him.
I even asked around,
but nothing.
- Okay. Um, thanks, Uncle.
- Okay.
We'll let you know when we know more.
Gillian went through the
missing persons database,
but we couldn't find any
report for Kuldip Walia.
Jeevan's sure that his mom filed one.
He really cares about
these young men he hires.
Treats them like family.
Yeah, my dad had
someone like him help us
when we came over from Lebanon.
Yeah?
Yeah.
[♪♪♪]
Gillian?
Can you go back into the
missing persons' database.
What? W-Why? We already looked.
We looked for a Kuldip Walia,
but his name may have been misspelled.
People spelled my name wrong
all the time when we came here.
Yeah, maybe try it with
two "E"s instead of an "I".
And try it starting with a "G".
[KEYS CLACKING]
[BEEP]
Got one. Uh, but the last name
"Guhldeep Waller"?
He was reported missing
via phone from India
by his wife.
The timeline matches
with Jeevan's story.
This is him. This is Kuldip.
Nice work, "Zachariah" Kalaini.
Uh, hold on.
Did you see the reporting officer?
Really, Vince? "Guhldeep Waller"?
I've gotten better.
Remember "Ranimala Basu Roychowdhury"?
I know it was a long time ago,
but do you remember anything about it?
Why he was never found?
Well, this wasn't my report.
- Your name's on it.
- Yeah, my name's on it.
My training officer, Klassen,
guy made his rookies
write up all his paperwork.
[DRYLY] Oh, I wonder what kind of T.O.
would make their rookie do that?
Hey, easy now.
What does this have
to do with your case?
This is what I need you to find out.
Okay.
Gillian verified
all of Tejpaul's debts were paid off.
So it wasn't his bookie.
Did he have a big win somewhere else?
Mm, it's possible.
She's looking into his bank records now.
And the dogs still
haven't found anything?
Not yet, but we're sending
them further upstream.
[♪♪♪]
We should send them the other way.
I think we missed something by the farm.
Let's go.
[KLASSEN] You really must
be getting old, Vinnie.
Isn't that your name
there at the bottom?
Yeah, that's my name,
but you're forgetting that
I did most of your paperwork,
even on the calls that I wasn't part of?
- Here.
- No.
This case is connected
to an ongoing murder investigation.
Gabby, have a drink with me. Old times!
I'm good.
The man's wife called
all the way from India.
1995. That ringing a bell?
Oh, shit.
Not that one.
[SCOFFS] Ha!
Oh, she was a total pain in the ass.
I could hardly understand
one word she was saying,
and the woman kept calling, calling.
You follow up?
Of course I did!
Unlike you.
Brambilla not following up?
I don't think I've heard that story.
[CHUCKLING]
Don't let the "family man" act fool ya.
You said you followed up?
Yeah! Yeah. I went to
the to the sawmill,
where the guy worked.
Even found a guy that knew him.
What guy?
[K9 BARKING]
This part of the farm is
nowhere near the river.
- Why here?
- It's where his nose brought him.
[INSISTENT BARKING CONTINUES]
Thank you. We'll take it from here.
[CONTINUES BARKING]
[HOLLOW-SOUNDING FOOTSTEPS]
That's wood.
[♪♪♪]
What do you think's down there?
[CREAKING]
[THUD]
Not what
who?
[♪♪♪]
[♪♪♪]
Well, this wasn't on my bingo card.
[SABRINA] What'd you find?
Uh, some clothes, a fancy lighter,
and, of course our friend here.
Any chance you can tell us the
age and sex of our deceased?
I was wondering when you were gonna ask.
So, based on the size of the pelvis,
the length and width
of the Mastoid process,
plus the growth and development
of the spine and teeth,
I would say male,
six feet, early 20s.
Forensic anthropology. It's a hobby.
Oh! And check this
Um, I'm gonna need a bit of help here.
Depressed fracture!
The same blunt-force
injury as Tejpaul Soni.
So they were killed by the same weapon?
Mm, I believe that's your job.
What I'm saying is,
both men were killed
by a high-velocity impact to the skull.
- [PHONE BEGINS BUZZING]
- It's Vince.
Hey, Vince. What's up?
Klassen asks around the
sawmill where Kuldip works.
Turns out, Kuldip quits after a month,
to start a farm with another guy.
That guy?
Mohinder Das.
[♪♪♪]
Wait. Mohinder said that
he didn't know Kuldip.
Well, Klassen confirmed
the two of 'em worked
together at the mill.
And get this Klassen
goes to the farm,
and Mohinder tells him
that Kuldip goes home, back to India.
All right, thanks, Vince.
[♪♪♪]
We need to bring Mohinder in.
[TRAFFIC DRONING]
[♪♪♪]
We know you knew Kuldip Walia.
You worked together at the sawmills.
Mohinder, why did you lie to us?
We have a missing persons' report
filed by Kuldip's wife.
Do you know how hard it was for her
to file that from Punjab?
She called again and
again, looking for answers,
looking for the truth.
- What do you know about Kuldip
- [KNOCKING]
Mr. Das's lawyer.
His lawyer's right. Can't
detain him on speculation.
We need more.
Then we need to find
someone else who knew Kuldip,
or both of them.
I could talk to Klassen again.
No. I know someone who knows
more people in the community.
1995, right?
[SABRINA] Yes!
Thank you, Papa.
How did you find this?
My grandfather worked at those mills.
We've been close to the family
that runs it, ever since.
They had it on their office wall.
[SABRINA] And there they are.
Do you think any of these
guys are still around?
Well, if they are,
Gillian can find them.
[FONDLY] Yes, that's us.
We lived together.
Whenever we ate,
Kuldip always swept his
crumbs off the table,
right onto the floor.
I would smack him on
the head and tell him,
"We are in Canada now, you
fool! We have to pick that up!"
You guys lived together at the sawmill?
In the bunkhouse.
We didn't have much back then,
but we had community.
We worked to give our families
a better life, security
and now look!
We have cars, big houses, land
everything we dreamed of!
Life is undoubtedly better.
[DEEP BREATH]
But now there is violence everywhere.
Families are falling apart over money.
Is that what happened
with Mohinder and Kuldip?
Not Kuldip
but Mohinder?
Yes.
He inherited money
a death in the family.
That's how we started the farm.
Wait. You were there, too?
Yeah. It was wonderful, but
But something happened, didn't it?
[SPEAKING PUNJABI]
Uncle, we're trying to
find out what happened
to your friend, Kuldip,
and we think that you
might know something
that can help us.
After we left the mill
we all started working
together at Mohinder's farm,
but Kuldip made sure
the farm ran smoothly.
But Mohinder started drinking
he became angry, paranoid.
Thought we were stealing from him!
One day, I was picking berries.
He came at me with a rake!
If I didn't get my arms up,
he would've taken my head off.
[DEEP BREATH]
I told Kuldip we had to leave,
before he killed one of us,
but Kuldip thought he
could help Mohinder
so he stayed.
I left.
Did you ever see Kuldip again?
I moved to Toronto.
A friend from my village took me in.
I only came back
because my grandkids are here now.
I have never even thought
about that farm, until today.
We believe Kuldip went missing
after you left the farm.
Whatever happened to Kuldip
Mohinder had something to do with it.
Does Mohinder seem like a man
who has alcohol and anger issues?
Doesn't matter.
Guy clearly has a history of violence,
and there are two dead
bodies connected to his farm.
So, what, 30 years ago, he gets drunk,
thinks Kuldip is stealing from him,
and then kills him, but
then what about Tejpaul?
Sabrina?
We got a match on
Tejpaul's fingerprints.
- From where, the jewellery?
- No. The lighter.
[SABRINA] The one we found in the well?
Yep. It must've been Tejpaul's.
All right. Thanks, Gillian.
- Zak?
- Yeah?
What if Tejpaul found the well?
He goes for a smoke break,
takes a look down into it
- Drops his lighter
- Goes down to get it
Sees Kuldip's gold kara
Then sees the bones.
Tejpaul uncovered Mohinder's secret,
and the only way to keep
him quiet was to kill him.
I saw tools by the well
rakes, spikes, pick-axes
both Tejpaul and Kuldip were
killed by blows to the head.
You swing any of those hard enough
[♪♪♪]
[JEEVAN] What did the police want?
Why did they take you?
They just wanted to know
about my time at the sawmill.
That's all.
You worked at a sawmill?
You never told me that.
My dad worked at a sawmill.
That doesn't surprise me.
A lot of us started
there when we came here.
Did you know my dad?
Did they ask you that?
Yes, they asked me.
But it's like I told you, Jeevan
I never met him.
And anyways, they let me go.
SO can we please not talk
about this any longer?
[TIRES SCREECH]
[DOORS THUDDING]
[SABRINA] Excuse me?
We're looking for Mohinder Das.
- He was with Jeevan.
- Where?
They went into the fields.
All right. Thanks.
Is he going after Jeevan?
I think he loves Jeevan.
Maybe it isn't Jeevan we
should be worried about.
If he thinks that Mohinder
killed his father
They could be anywhere.
I think I know where they are. This way!
[♪♪♪]
I'm so glad you wanted
to take this walk.
I always feel so much better out here.
Me too.
The police asked about my dad
because they knew that
was him down there,
and they think you
knew him.
[♪♪♪]
He was here.
You lied to me.
Puth let's just go
Don't touch me!
Tell me the truth. Why did you lie?
Because you did it.
You killed my dad!
[♪♪♪]
Jeevan?
Jeevan, please! Please!
Put that down!
I trusted you!
Jeevan, you don't understand.
Please
puth
[JEEVAN RAGES]
There he is!
[SHOUTS]
[JEEVAN ROARING]
Jeevan!
[MOHINDER WHIMPERS]
Stop!
[ZAK] Put it down!
Put it down! Now!
Jeevan, you don't want to do this.
You don't know what I want!
[♪♪♪]
Jeevan, look at me!
You're right, I don't know.
[SPEAKS IN PUNJABI]
But I'm pretty sure that
your dad didn't want this.
He came here to give
you a better life
He didn't give me anything!
Because he was killed!
Mohinder killed him!
We don't know that!
And if you kill him,
then you will never know
what happened to your father,
you will never know the truth,
and I know that's what you want.
Jeevan, please.
Okay? Let's find the truth together.
[♪♪♪]
[SPEAKING PUNJABI]
[PITCHFORK HITS GROUND]
[SILENCE FALLS]
[SPEAKS PUNJABI]
[BEGINS WAILING]
[♪♪♪]
I did not kill Kuldip Walia.
You almost killed your
old friend, Bikar Mann.
He told us about your
drinking, your rage.
You exploded on Kuldip next.
You never expected anyone
to find his body in the well,
but then Tejpaul got curious
[SABRINA] and he
found the bones, the kara.
Threatened to expose your secret.
He blackmailed you.
We found the e-transfers
to Tejpaul's account.
You paid off his gambling
debts to stay quiet,
but gamblers always
want more, don't they?
You'd had enough. You had to end it.
But you couldn't kill him on the farm,
like Kuldip
too many people there now,
so you took him for
a walk, by the river.
You killed him the same
way you killed Kuldip
30 years ago.
You know, Jeevan believes
that you killed his father.
Jeevan doesn't understand.
What doesn't he understand?
[DOOR CREAKS AND THUDS]
He knows we got him.
The man is a vault.
The only time he looked up
was when we spoke about Jeevan.
[♪♪♪]
So was it him?
Did he kill my dad?
We can't confirm that yet.
Jeevan, I know that
Mohinder helped you out
since you arrived in Canada,
but h-how did you meet
him in the first place?
Everyone knows his farm back home.
In the village, people say,
if you want to come to
Canada, you go to him.
She never gave up, so I thought
You came here thinking
that your father was still alive.
I'm sorry that you found out like this.
Uh, what was the name
of your village, again?
Baltoya.
[♪♪♪]
There's a connection
but something's not landing.
[♪♪♪]
What the hell are we missing?
Hey.
Mohinder's lawyer is on the way.
[♪♪♪]
Whatever you're thinking
do it.
Okay but I'm gonna need your help.
Have a seat, bud.
What's going on?
Detective Sohal wants you to see this.
[HUSHED] You got the logbooks?
Let's hope this works.
[SABRINA] Do you know what that is?
We've gone through your worker logs
specifically, the men
that you've sponsored.
Do you know the one thing
that they all have in common?
Yeah, I think you do.
They all come from the
same village of Baltoya.
Do you know who else
comes from that village?
Kuldip Walia.
His son grew up thinking
that his father had abandoned him,
and his mother fell into a depression
that she never recovered from.
That pain that loss
robbed him of a life
that should've been his,
and so he came here
wanting the truth.
But you
you were also looking for Jeevan.
Every worker that you brought here,
from Baltoya,
you kept thinking
"Could this be Kuldip's
son? Could this be him?"
At first, I thought
you were being kind to Jeevan
because of whatever had
happened to his father.
But then I remembered
what you called him
your puth.
Your son.
[BAG CRINKLING]
[♪♪♪]
You didn't kill his father,
because you are his father.
You are Kuldip Walia.
[KARA CLATTERS]
The DNA from the bones that we found
will prove that that
man is Mohinder Das,
and you will be put into
Remand until your trial
with no access to anyone
except
family.
Jeevan is watching. Right now.
This might be your last chance.
[♪♪♪]
Is there anything you
want to say to him?
Is there anything you want to tell him
about why you did all of this?
[SPEAKING PUNJABI]
Why?
[SPEAKING PUNJABI]
And then he started drinking?
[BITTERLY] I had to learn this language.
And so you stole from Mohinder?
I never stole.
He did.
He didn't send any of that
money back to our families.
I sent what we earned.
And then Mohinder found out
he-he thought it was
Bikar who was stealing,
so he attacked Bikar with a rake,
and then he attacked you?
I was always the last one to leave.
I would put away the tools,
I would close the well.
I didn't even see him coming.
He was in a blind rage.
He was drunk.
He wouldn't listen,
and then he was on top of me,
with his hands around my neck.
I pushed him off, and
then he came back at me,
and then
[SABRINA] So you grabbed
whatever tool and you swung?
I hit him on the head,
he fell into the well.
[SABRINA] That was self-defence.
You could have called the police.
Yeah.
I wanted to.
I went into his office,
I picked up the phone,
but then I saw them
in the garbage.
All the workers' visas.
Oh, he wasn't gonna sponsor any of you?
Baltoya is a poor village.
They sold everything to get me a ticket.
I could not fail.
I could not
go back.
Our families would have starved,
and I was not going to let that happen.
So I took the visas
[SNIFFLING] and I signed them
as "Mohinder Das".
So that's when you became him.
I threw my kara into the well.
I cut my hair.
[TEARFULLY] I cut my family.
[SOBBING DEEPLY]
I sent the money home
but Diya
[SOBS] Diya, she never took it.
Your wife?
She always sent it back.
She She didn't know who I was.
She didn't want the money.
She just wanted Kul
She wanted me.
[SABRINA, SOFTLY] So did your son.
[KULDIP] Yeah.
But I knew I could do more
for people as Mohinder Das
than I ever could as Kuldip Walia
but I had to abandon my child.
I abandoned my son.
[♪♪♪]
And then you killed Tejpaul,
because he found the bones.
If the truth came out
I would have to lose my son again.
[♪♪♪]
[♪♪♪]
Puth
[SPEAKING PUNJABI]
[JEEVAN SNIFFLES]
[SOBS]
[WEEPING]
[SPEAKING PUNJABI]
[JEEVAN SOBS]
[KULDIP] I failed.
[♪♪♪]
[♪♪♪]
Goodbye, puth.
[♪♪♪]
This way.
Hey, Zak?
Hey, you were right, what
you said the other day.
I'm sure I was.
You mean all day, or ?
Uh, the thing you said
about not trusting.
Not letting people in.
Great work today.
Hey, um
do you mind finishing
the rest of this up?
I've got a family thing.
Go. Yeah. I'll take care of it.
[SABRINA] Thanks.
Mm-hmm.
Klassen, huh?
[SCOFFS]
He still a piece of shit?
[CHUCKLING] Yes, he is.
[LAUGHS]
Yeah, but he wasn't the only one,
back then, though, was he?
What do you mean?
No, I mean
You know, I wasn't much better.
I mean
I clocked out early.
The kids were young
I used that as an excuse.
Things fell through the cracks.
This case it happened
because I didn't do my job right.
What about a new job, then?
Ellistern's retiring. We
need a new Watch Commander.
You'd be the direct liaison
between officers and detectives.
No case would be closed
without your written approval.
You can make sure nothing
falls through the cracks again.
[♪♪♪]
[SABRINA, LAUGHING] No way!
- Yeah.
- No, I thought he was joking!
[AJEET] No, no, no, he was dead serious.
Babaji thought hot dogs
- were made of real dogs.
- [SABRINA LAUGHING]
You know, whenever I think about
what it must've been like for him,
and for everyone who
made the journey here
to a place they knew nothing about
to do it all alone
Yeah, well, they weren't alone, Sabrina.
They They made a community.
They-They helped each other.
It would've been impossible
to accomplish all this alone.
[DOOR SHUTS]
- Oh
- Oh you're both home.
And you haven't been.
Those are still the same
clothes as yesterday.
No. No. No, this is
standard
C.I.U. uniform.
- [AJEET CHUCKLES]
- Okay.
Aiden and I were out
celebrating our new digs.
Oh, for 24 hours?
- You made Mom's burgers?
- Yeah!
We haven't had a family
dinner in a while,
and I figured that
you're probably hungry.
- Is it safe?
- Hey!
I didn't even know you had the recipe.
You know what? I don't.
But I figured that
she didn't either, so.
That explains a lot.
- Ish!
- [DOORBELL CHIMES]
Who'd you invite?
No one.
Uh I did.
[AJEET, REPROACHINGLY] Hey.
[LAUGHS] It's actually really good.
- But we can't tell her.
- [AJEET CHUCKLES]
Uh
Dad, you remember Nate?
Uh, Mr. Sohal.
It's good to see you again.
Yeah.
Call me Ajeet.
Welcome.
You can call me Mr. Sohal.
Yes, sir! You got it.
Have a burger.
Don't eat that one.
Did you take a bite outta that?
It's a family thing.
- What the heck?
- I know, I know.
You know what, do you want some of this?
Yeah, I'd love some, actually.
Do you want some of the
- do you know what that is over there?
- Yeah, it's
I'm half Indian
that's it's mint chutney?
He's half Indian, yeah.
- You didn't know that?
- Are you?
Tell him what the other half is.
- Uh
- Swiss.
Swiss. I'm a Swindian.
