00:05In Toronto's War on Crime, the worst offenders are pursued by the detectives of the Specialized Criminal Investigations Unit.
00:13These are their stories.
00:17Hey, you got a package here for Patrice Fauchamp?
00:20Yeah, let me see if he's in it.
00:30We're getting closer and closer to finding this, Satan.
00:35Takashi stole from us.
00:37One hundred thousand of us.
00:39And now, he's gonna die.
00:42Takashi is smart, but the hive mind is smarter.
00:47We're gonna tear it apart, limb by limb.
00:53This came for you.
00:55Thanks.
01:03Hi, Mr. Song.
01:04You're early.
01:06I'm a good student.
01:08What's on the agenda today?
01:10Hash functions.
01:11I already know how hash functions.
01:13You smoke it, and then you get high.
01:15Hash functions are the cornerstone of cryptography.
01:18They're why your online passwords have never been hacked, despite the groundbreaking use of your dog's name.
01:22Wait, how do you know my password?
01:24Hash functions.
01:25Which I will teach you as soon as you close those curtains.
01:30You should learn to trust people.
01:33I can't.
01:35I'm too smart.
01:38Most of these kids are way too smart for public school.
01:41Kids on the spectrum obviously have special needs, and we know how to meet them.
01:45The right education could completely change Max's life.
01:48It's incredible.
01:50I didn't know places like this existed.
01:53We're the top-ranked school for autism in the province.
01:55We only have one spot available, but Max seems like a terrific fit.
02:00You said it's $52,000 a year?
02:02I promise you, Mr. Bell, it's worth every penny.
02:09Hey, Stuart, who was that hollering the other day with the camera?
02:13No one, Joel.
02:15They got the wrong guy.
02:16I'm still waiting on rent.
02:17The new rate?
02:18The one we discussed?
02:20Oh, the one that goes against the Residential Tenancies Act?
02:23They'll have it first thing in the morning.
02:31Beautiful.
02:40How much for your piece?
02:43How much?
02:47Think on it.
02:59Hey, let's go away!
03:01Somebody help!
03:03Okay.
03:04Come on, Baxter.
03:05Two more throws and we get to go home.
03:06Go get it!
03:07Go get it!
03:10Baxter!
03:11Baxter!
03:12Come here, buddy!
03:17Come here, buddy!
03:24Baxter!
03:27Baxter!
03:28Baxter!
03:30Baxter!
03:31Baxter!
03:34Baxter!
03:34Baxter!
03:40Baxter!
03:40Baxter!
03:42Baxter!
03:43Baxter!
03:45Baxter!
03:47Baxter!
03:47Baxter!
03:48Baxter!
03:51Baxter!
03:51Baxter!
03:52Baxter!
03:52Baxter!
04:04Victim is male, presumed late 20s.
04:07John Doe, no identification.
04:09Dog walker spotted the body hanging from that tree at 6.03 this morning.
04:15Took us a minute to get him down.
04:17Like the ornament.
04:18Killer threw the body off the bridge, didn't quite hit the ground.
04:20I have officers up on the bridge canvassing, but so far, no luck.
04:25All yours, detectives?
04:26Thanks.
04:28Well, no cameras, not much foot traffic.
04:30Not a bad place to dump a body.
04:32No, not a great place either.
04:34His body was always going to be found.
04:35I think our killer was in a hurry.
04:39Okay.
04:41Well, the tree didn't do him any favors.
04:43At least he was dead on arrival, no frothbite.
04:47Meticial hemorrhaging in the eye is consistent with asphyxia, but...
04:50No bruising on the neck.
04:52Just residue, judging by the linear pattern of duct tape.
04:56Victim might have been suffocated with a plastic bag.
04:59Oh, that's a hell of a way to go.
05:01Well, maybe the killer wanted our victim to suffer.
05:05Maybe he couldn't look at his face as he died.
05:09What's this?
05:12Extreme cold keeps cellular structure in place, stopping decomposition.
05:17Apart from the damage done in the disposal, we can imagine that our John Doe's body is almost exactly as
05:24it was at the moment he died.
05:25You've been hanging around corpses too long.
05:27And you with violent criminals, which is probably why you were right about the cause of death.
05:34Suffocation.
05:36Residue around his neck is consistent with duct tape and traces of a high-density polyethylene often found in plastic
05:43bags.
05:44But without decomposition, we can't determine the time of death.
05:47No, unless you're really good.
05:51Our victim was killed approximately 24 hours ago.
05:55Our John Doe also recently had his appendix removed surgically.
06:01Not laparoscopically.
06:02A surgical appendectomy.
06:04His blood type and some leg work led me to a name.
06:09You could have fled with that.
06:12And deprive myself of this beautiful moment?
06:16You're welcome.
06:19Stuart Song, 28.
06:21No credit cards, lease, license, or vehicle to his name.
06:25Only child.
06:26Both parents have died.
06:27No next of kin.
06:28No address on file.
06:30No record of employment.
06:30And get this, no trace of online activity.
06:33What 28-year-old doesn't go online?
06:35Maybe he's analog.
06:36Likes his own company.
06:38Values his privacy.
06:40Doesn't trust the government.
06:41The only thing we do know is that his digital footprint was wiped clean two years ago.
06:45Oh, there was one thing he forgot to delete.
06:47His Yelp account.
06:50All these restaurants are in the West End.
06:53Picky eater.
06:55A ghost that likes to eat on his own stoop.
06:58If he didn't have a car, then these restaurants are probably close to where he lives.
07:03How many Edwardian duplexes with the number 150 can there be?
07:0747.
07:08I looked.
07:09Then I say these two better get moving.
07:14Stu was a weird guy.
07:15Always insisted on paying cash for his rent.
07:18Wouldn't sign a lease.
07:20Didn't want a record of anything.
07:21You have any idea why?
07:22Huh.
07:23Like I said, weird dude.
07:29I've never seen a key like that before.
07:31That's because he invented it.
07:32First one I dropped into a sewer grate.
07:34Took him three weeks to make me a new one.
07:38If you find my overdue rent in there, you'll let me know.
07:55It's a hell of a vinyl collection.
07:57Well, it's a cute library, too.
07:59First letter of every title.
08:03Quit looking at my oak shelf?
08:11Oak shelf?
08:13Where's the bee?
08:13Exactly.
08:15Hard to believe that someone so meticulous would leave their apartment like this.
08:19Now, look at the drawers.
08:22Books everywhere.
08:23Someone's been here.
08:29Stuart's my tutor.
08:31He taught me math and that I wasn't stupid.
08:34Did he ever mention anything to you?
08:37Anyone or anything that he was afraid of?
08:39No.
08:39I mean, he hated technology.
08:41But I just can't imagine he had any enemies.
08:45When was the last time you saw him?
08:47Um, four days ago.
08:49I was here for a lesson.
08:52Hash functions?
08:54Yeah.
08:55But Stuart was always writing on that board.
08:57It would never still have that stuff on it.
08:59Unless he hasn't been here since.
09:05Stuart left here four days ago and was only killed yesterday.
09:09Where was he in between?
09:14Emily, when you last saw Stuart, did he happen to mention where he was going after your lesson?
09:19Um, same place he goes every Thursday.
09:22Four days ago, Stuart left his house around 7 p.m., headed for the Momo House on Queen West.
09:27First, he entered this underpass at 7.13 p.m.
09:32Fast forward 60 seconds, and he never came out.
09:36Oh, not on foot anyway, left in the back of that van.
09:38Not just any van.
09:39A quick shift.
09:40You rent them from an app, pick them up on the street, drop them off when you're done.
09:44All you need is a license and credit card.
09:45Let me guess.
09:46We assume the kidnapper stole them from a man with an alibi, still waiting on the statement.
09:50As for the van...
09:51The company retrieved it and wiped it clean of any usable prints.
09:54Right again.
09:55But here's something you may not know.
09:57Before it was dumped, the van had only made one trip.
10:00To this address here.
10:01A house owned by a man named Tony Lewis in North York.
10:07I've owned this lot for almost two years, but I couldn't get approval from the neighbor
10:11for a new build.
10:12I guess they, uh, changed their minds?
10:15With some help from my lawyer.
10:17Started prepping the place for a teardown this week, but I haven't been inside for months.
10:24That's absurd, and it's not true.
10:26Stuart, you can't hide this any longer.
10:29You have no idea what you're talking about.
10:31Riot coin was garbage tech.
10:32Trivial code wrapped in shiny influenza wrapping paper.
10:35It was a meme coin.
10:36Yeah, right.
10:50Your city's in a housing crisis, and yet, our killer managed to find a nice, empty place
10:55to bring Stuart.
10:56Yeah.
10:57Until Tony up there starts knocking things down, explains why the body was moved in a hurry.
11:03Graff.
11:05This is where he was murdered.
11:07And held against his will for three days before.
11:10There was no evidence of torture on Stuart's body, no, uh, signs of malnutrition.
11:16Whoever kidnapped him was humane.
11:19But why kidnap a math tutor?
11:22A guy didn't have any family to pay ransom.
11:25I mean, he didn't even have a bank account.
11:26Somebody went to Stuart's apartment after he left.
11:29Maybe they just wanted him out of the way.
11:32If so, they already had a key.
11:37I told you last time I barely knew the guy.
11:39Right, just, uh, some weirdo who owed you rent.
11:42Still does.
11:43You, uh, ever go into his place unannounced?
11:46It's not his place.
11:47It's my place.
11:48But no, of course not.
11:50I'm not a creep.
11:51You sure?
11:52Ah.
11:54It's a nice oak shelf.
11:57Thanks.
11:57But all be that, uh, he was a philosopher.
12:01Yet had he but little gold in coffer.
12:04Bartlett's familiar quotations.
12:06It's one of my favorites.
12:07I read it when I can't get to sleep.
12:10I just wanted my rent.
12:12Stuart's always trying to pay less.
12:14I let it slide until some guy comes to our door with a video camera.
12:19Says Stuart's a billionaire.
12:20Yeah, with a B.
12:22I mean, it sounded crazy.
12:23But you, uh, you chose to believe him.
12:25The guy had conviction.
12:28So when Stuart left four days ago, I went in the apartment and I grabbed the stupid book.
12:33I saw him take money out of it once.
12:34You want to know what was inside?
12:36Five or J egg.
12:37Eight hundred bucks.
12:38This guy with the camera, did he say anything else?
12:41Uh, Stuart's real name was...
12:44Patashi?
12:45Patashi?
12:45Something stupid like that.
12:47Not, uh...
12:49Not Takashi?
12:50Yeah.
12:52So, you've never heard of Takashi?
12:54I guess you're not interested in crypto?
12:56Oh, Bigaplex scared me off that.
12:58Probably for the best.
13:00So two years ago, a, uh, anonymous online figure goes by the name Takashi, Mints Riot Coin.
13:07New crypto coin, best investment since sliced bread.
13:10Otherwise known as a rug pull.
13:12Coin gets hyped, everyone buys in, expecting to own a yacht within a year.
13:16Then Takashi disappears with all the money.
13:18Coin suddenly worthless, everyone goes broke.
13:20Well, the timeline would sync up.
13:22Stuart went off the grid two years ago.
13:23Right when, uh, Riot Coin crashed, leaving a hundred thousand duped investors baying for blood.
13:29Well, that explains why Stuart liked his privacy.
13:32Yeah, that he did.
13:33Look at that.
13:34Is that reflective film?
13:37Yeah.
13:38Celebrities use it on their windows to, uh, disrupt cameras.
13:42Ooh.
13:47You ever seen a, uh, a bird's nest?
13:50Is this symmetrical?
13:51Graf, leave the birds alone.
13:52Yeah, they're made of mud, sticks, and garbage.
13:59Oh.
14:00Usually don't come with a price tag.
14:03Or a camera.
14:09Oh, come on.
14:10Takashi's a myth.
14:11He's an urban legend.
14:13At any rate, he's not some 28-year-old map tutor in Parkdale.
14:17Takashi vanished two years ago, the same week that Stuart went off the grid.
14:20All the money that Takashi stole was converted into Bitcoin.
14:24It's been sitting in a public wallet ever since.
14:26All Bitcoin transactions are recorded on a public ledger.
14:29That can be viewed by anyone.
14:31Yeah, I know.
14:31My brother won't shut up about it.
14:33Right.
14:33So, for two years, he left the money untouched.
14:36Until two days ago, the entire balance got sent to an untraceable account at the same
14:40exact time that Stuart was being held hostage?
14:43You think he was paying a ransom?
14:45Well, if it was, it didn't work.
14:46They still killed him, but whoever kidnapped him used this.
14:50A tracking device?
14:52Yeah, we found that in Stuart's jacket.
14:54The lab processed it, but there's no way of seeing who received the signal.
14:59There are thousands of people online who are hunting for Takashi.
15:02I mean, entire forum's dedicated to it.
15:04And these people, they want to annihilate him.
15:06And then there are those who just want to find the guy who stole $2 billion.
15:11Okay, so who found him?
15:13Well, Mark just tracked down the owner of the hidden camera we found outside Stuart's
15:17apartment, so maybe someone at Skyline Post has some answers.
15:23Is this about the body in that tree?
15:25I'll tell you, the city's gone insane.
15:27This is exactly the reason why my wife said we had to move to Port Credit.
15:30Malcolm, we found a camera that belongs to your facility illegally recording a victim.
15:35Not my facility.
15:36I'm just the manager.
15:37So you're not aware of what your clients are making here?
15:39You get dozens of directors and producers.
15:41They rent equipment, edit suites.
15:43We're not monitoring what they're making.
15:45You would have a record, though, of who rented that particular camera.
15:52Here we go.
15:53This guy.
15:55Mr. Top Secret, Patrice Beauchamp.
15:58He was nominated for an Emmy six years ago.
16:00So Malcolm, what is he making here?
16:04Did you take a peek?
16:05No idea.
16:06You're gonna have to ask him yourself.
16:07He won't tell me.
16:09But doesn't your company offer, uh, servers to the filmmakers so they can back up their footage for free?
16:17Normally, yes, but he didn't want that.
16:21His editing suite is usually locked.
16:23He insists on having the only key.
16:34Well, looks like Mr. Top Secret has left the building.
16:37He sleeps on a train.
16:51All right.
16:52Enjoy this.
16:53I mean, she's about waiting for it.
16:55What's your thing?
16:57I can get that for you.
16:59Anything else?
17:03Yo, River.
17:04You're shot.
17:05No.
17:07I can't, I can't.
17:07I can't.
17:11before we get started would you mind turning the camera off what camera the one on your bookshelf
17:20look in my business everything is material you don't know the story till the story appears
17:26sounds a lot like our business and our story so far as it appears is that uh
17:33you were stalking and surveilling a man that we just found dead in a tree thursday night 7 p.m
17:39where were you patrice wait wait hang out hey you're not suggesting suggesting no i'm just asking

17:56it with my
17:57neighbor if you want we shared a pizza together we'll be sure to do that seriously i was right
18:02here in my office transcribing interviews on this computer well that's interesting as your office
18:08used to be at uh skyline post until you abruptly left yesterday with four months left on your contract
18:15look i wasn't stalking stewart song i just wanted the guy on camera that's it why a solitary math tutor
18:24that man barely leads the footprint exactly i'm making a film about people who've dropped off the
18:30grid dropped off the grid because thousands of people wanted them dead you think stewart song is a
18:41crypto billionaire who told you you just did and seeing that you're the only person that thinks that
18:47i guess that makes you our prime suspect okay listen i can prove stewart was takashi and
18:56that i am not the only one who knows how
19:03last week
19:05this was delivered to my office
19:07no return address just undeniable proof that stewart's song is takashi
19:16mark and i went through patrice's folder tons of proof that stewart was takashi i haven't shown
19:21what we found in the rye coin source code quit looking at my coat it's the first letter just like
19:27the bookshelf cute not as cute as oak shelf but uh what about our tipster i'm thinking under 30
19:34based on the notes in the margin tbh imho wag me we're all gonna make it that'll cry the crypto
19:41republic
19:42keeps people going when they're losing their shirts he plays again okay so under 30 lurking in
19:50the forums brilliant if they've been able to put this together raised by wolves excuse me the hat
19:57it's from raised by wolves they're a streetwear brand and their stores in ottawa wouldn't be too
20:02hard to track them down they do a lot of capsules small batch stuff
20:11riversmith can i help you officer
20:14yes detective we're hoping you might uh have a conversation with us about takashi
20:21how did you find me well apparently you were raised by wolves
20:28okay uh everybody out yeah you gotta go hey pete could you just throw up a close sign for me
20:37so river we went through your files they're very thorough
20:41why didn't you bring them to the police so you could arrest him well he ripped off
20:45100 000 people look no offense but i don't exactly have much trust in the police i'm taken besides
20:52this isn't cops and robbers this is a treasure hunt i mean this is the copper scroll this is the
20:59beale cyphers the beale cyphers they're a myth well yeah but imagine if you were two steps away from
21:04solving them what do you mean uh two steps okay okay uh so this is a treasure hunt you'll find
21:12the gold
21:13why give it away to a documentary filmmaker was i supposed to just release him to those numb nuts
21:19online and have you heard those freaks they want to cut the man to pieces and string him up by
21:25the
21:25toenails patrice bachamp's the real deal i mean i uh i think it was a great way to expose takashi
21:31to the
21:31masses yet here we are investigating his murder you paint a target on a man's back it's no surprise
21:37he gets shot yeah i know i um i'm sorry i didn't thursday 7 p.m where were you swan
21:46dive on dundas
21:47it's a first date question you're a puzzler this one's been bugging me i went into uh the forums
21:58from two years ago it seems that uh stewart was arguing with takashi not as himself obviously his
22:05username was life pi 97 yeah no i i uh that's how i pulled his age sloppy okay well stewart
22:14would point
22:14out issues bugs problems and takashi fire right back call stewart a fool a basic smooth brain
22:22non-player character npc yeah um i think that stewart was riot coin's biggest fan and its biggest
22:31critic i always just figured that he was fighting with himself what do you mean haven't you ever heard
22:39that thing people say um the greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't
22:46exist mark's reviewing the documentary footage now how do you take it patrice tore up the warrant into
22:55tiny shreds i thought he was gonna eat them well the man has teeth you get everything took everything
23:01with a plug thanks kakashi is smart but the hive mind is smarter we're gonna tear them apart limb by
23:12limb
23:13all right stop it there mark that clip there can you highlight that and find the original source in
23:24right coin was hope and now i feel like i'm at the bottom of the hole and i look up
23:33at the sky but
23:36it's so far away i don't know how i'll ever get out
23:45and cut
24:01you know there comes a a point in every investigation that things start to pile up
24:08at the feet of one person and i'd say we've reached that point see not only were you one of
24:14two people
24:15who knew that stewart's song was takashi not only did you shut down your work at skyline and not only
24:20did you threaten stewart's life but sin of all sins for a filmmaker you faked the source in your interviews
24:27couldn't get anyone to come on camera they're all privacy freaks you said you would tear that man
24:34limb from limb i have an alibi well i imagine two billion dollars is enough to pay off a neighbor
24:42but
24:44what do i know at any rate what we have is far more important what's that motive you hated the
24:51man
24:52you said so on camera so you stalked him you brought him to a basement you put a plastic bag
24:57over his head
24:58and secured it with tape until he's suffocated to death
25:04you were nominated for an emmy weren't you how was that you fly down there to l.a
25:13you meet any famous people
25:15no because they don't talk to losers but you did manage to get uh funding for your next film
25:21but the money never ended up on the screen did it you put it all into riot coin
25:27so not only did you lose your money you lost people's trust you lost your reputation and then
25:34your career yeah and i wanted to find the man responsible and do that to him no expose him
25:42and make him rot in jail but i didn't want to kill him i just wanted my life back and
25:50the only way i
25:50could claw back some semblance of a career would be to tell it as a story let the audience be
25:56the
25:57judge and jury so i posted on many forums looking for help and then would you look at that someone
26:04dropped stewart's name right into your lap i confronted stewart he denied it of course but then
26:09i got a bunch of texts on my phone accusing me of killing the guy the text from who i
26:14have no idea
26:16so i started to panic shut things down at skyline remove all my footage of their servers and finish a
26:22project from home period no no you're mr top secret they said you didn't want their storage service
26:30what i always back up my projects we told you death
26:39okay so why would malcolm lie about not having access to the footage well maybe he was curious
26:44about what patrice was making held a uh private screening maybe he uh found stewart's real identity
26:50and he lied to us to distance himself from our victim i mean do you think malcolm could have
26:54kidnapped stewart well it's a theory only way to test it is to uh revisit the clues and see if
27:00anything's connected to malcolm okay now stewart sarland leaves his home at 7 pm he walks south on
27:06gladstone to queen enters the underpass at 7 13 van picks him up takes him up to tony lewis's
27:14abandoned house in north york where he's held what do we miss van
27:20the van the van the van the van was rented using one john oswald's id and credit card oswald was
27:32bar hopping the night that his wallet was stolen i didn't even notice it was gone in the morning
27:37how did he get home it says here he took a rideshare from where
27:44the porthouse social never heard of it that's because it's not in toronto it's in port credit

29:18did malcolm tell you about that uh no my uncle apparently the killer used tony's house
29:25all tony talks about is tearing it down and the moment he finally gets close it turns into a crime
29:30scene

30:18detectives bateman and graf will take this one right you can let him go malcolm your boss said you
30:24were taking lunch to talk to your banker i'm guessing it didn't go well malcolm we'd like to talk to
30:29you
30:29about the kidnapping and murder of stewart song
30:43the hunt for takashi yesterday someone uh compared it to a treasure hunt i hadn't thought about it that
30:52way before but um it stuck wasn't hunting for anyone
30:58no i believe you i mean you're just a middle manager you wouldn't look at the footage that
31:03comes across your desk why would you but it's uh it's human nature when somebody hides something
31:10from you to want to take a peek
31:17mr top secret you called him malcolm you took that peek didn't you fortune fell right into your lap it
31:25was
31:25like somebody was handing you a winning lottery ticket and all you had to do was cash it in and
31:31pop the
31:31champagne we spoke with your wife malcolm we looked into your finances you're broke it's tough and there's
31:42nothing you wouldn't do for your boy max you'd go so far as to uh steal a wallet rent a
31:50van plant a gps
31:51tracker in a man's jacket so you could hunt him down gps tracker no i don't know what you're talking
31:59about you abducted your target brought him to hannah's uncle's empty house you demanded a ransom which
32:05he paid and then you killed him anyway i didn't kill him no i didn't i i found his address
32:12on patrice's
32:13footage and then i followed him through the underpass and i i took him okay why because i needed
32:22the money i asked him for three hundred thousand dollars life-changing for me for him it's point zero
32:30one five percent of his net worth but he said he wasn't to cash him a chain to a chair
32:37i might say the same thing sure but then he started making sense he started saying things like
32:46he was an early adopter of riot coin and how he met takashi online and helped him write better code
32:53improve his specs he swore on his own life that he wasn't takashi so if stewart song wasn't takashi then
33:01why did he go off the grid he claimed he was scared that people would find out he was involved
33:08he said that after takashi disappeared he felt sick like he was responsible for ruining thousands
33:15of lives no everything that i had brought up stewart had an answer for but eventually you were
33:21gonna have to get rid of him i mean make it make sense malcolm my face was covered so stewart
33:26had promised
33:27me he wouldn't tell a soul if i had let him go so i went home i thought about it
33:32for a couple hours and
33:34then when i came back stewart was right where i left him but with a plastic bag over his head
33:46and two
33:47billion dollars transferred out of his account yes so i guess he was takashi and i'm an idiot for
33:53believing when he said he wasn't obviously i couldn't go to the police and there was workers
34:03starting at the house i didn't know what to do are you saying you moved a body for someone else's
34:09murder
34:09look i don't know who killed stewart song but i know it wasn't me
34:25looks like we have our man for the kidnapping sure you believe that come on if it wasn't malcolm how
34:32would the killer know where stewart was because of the gps tracker and uh stewart's jacket malcolm
34:37didn't even know it was there obviously he was lying why would you confess to a kidnapping which
34:41is five to life and then lie about how you did it so you think the kidnapper and the killer
34:45are
34:45different people okay so how would this imaginary second person get the money out of stewart when
34:50malcolm couldn't there was no sign of torture well there are ways to convince people that don't include
34:56torture but apart from malcolm the only other two people who knew about stewart were documentary filmmaker
35:02patrice and his anonymous source river both of whom have alibi but for the kidnapping but not for
35:08the time of the murder if we believe malcolm we're looking at a whole different chessboard river smith
35:13has no motive if he was after stewart's money he never would have leaked the information to patrice
35:18he would have just killed him taking the money and no one would have known who stewart was
35:22which leaves patrice and the guy we have in custody with motive who just admitted to kidnapping
35:28okay yeah we're not asking you to believe us we're asking for more time
35:37hey i can't confirm malcolm's alibi for the time of the murder uh forrester will be thrilled
35:42what did you get well we combed through all of patrice's footage then realized
35:46we didn't check the uh camera we found in the nest you mean the one that just shows curtains yeah
35:52so
35:52here's the exact moment that uh patrice confronted stewart on his uh doorstep have listen i've enhanced the audio
36:06oh my god henry
36:12you didn't want to lead with that i deprived myself of this beautiful moment
36:22detectives
36:26espresso oh it's a little late for caffeine thanks not when you got 200 pages left of the voynich
36:31manuscript hey but now i got a new puzzle why are you here well we uh we need your help
36:38see uh
36:39we found this in stewart's jacket you know it turns out to be a gps tracker cool can i see
36:46it that's not
36:47much to look at but uh i think you've seen it already actually i i think you were the one
36:53who put it in
36:54stewart's jacket maybe even the night he disappeared huh you're at the swan dive just two blocks away from
37:01his house and maybe you passed him in the street and bumped into him are you wow that's i'll have
37:12what
37:12you're having man river why don't you uh come take a look at this
37:19it's video from the hidden nest camera in stewart song's front yard that's it's gripping
37:26i'll just turn up the volume stuart you can't hide this any longer that's patrice beauchon and
37:33stewart song you're still just a basic smooth-brained npc and that uh guy lurking around the house
37:45listening and that's uh that's you no it's not doesn't sound like me you sure
38:01uh reflective gel bad for paparazzi good for us
38:08so what i mean the guy ripped off thousands of people and i'm the one who caught him
38:13i wanted to watch him score him sounds to me like you're the one swarming river
38:17i'm using the exact same expressions to cash you used to insult stewart on the forums you know what
38:23we could not figure out is how the killer got the money from stewart when malcolm couldn't
38:29but the killer didn't get the money from stewart did they because stewart wasn't takashi you are
38:38you killed stewart and you sent the money to yourself you see the greatest trick the devil ever
38:47played was convincing us he was stewart's song right um okay i'm closing up so got a second date
38:59unless some clown scared her off a hive mind it's real it's scary the crypto millionaires being
39:07kidnapped all over the world being tortured killed i think you heard about the guy in france recently
39:13right got his hands severed sent to his family for ransom i mean these are the same desperate people
39:19who are getting closer to finding you so how do you stop an angry mob from asking questions you give
39:28them an answer and stewart was the perfect patsy an early adopter fingerprints all over the code
39:36active on the forums and uh went dark the same week that uh you rubbed riot coin and then you
39:44saw
39:44patrice on the forums asking for help with his documentary he'd publish stewart's uh fake identity
39:54to the masses to those fools to those basic smooth brains
40:02okay if i am takashi then why do i work at a coffee shop huh where's my two billion
40:08now you couldn't access it could you takashi not while everyone was looking for you so you needed
40:15a distraction and even if you could get at the billions of dollars you stole do you really think
40:20it would buy you freedom from those freaks who wanted to tear your limb from limb
40:27tell me river when was the last time you had a good night's sleep you needed it to stop so
40:35you
40:36you laid a trap you put a gps tracker in stewart's jacket in case he ran away everything was going
40:44hunky-dory until malcolm showed up malcolm oh but then the tracker led you to an empty house
40:52where stewart was tied up crisis equals danger plus opportunity so you decided on a dark pivot
41:03so you taped a plastic bag over an innocent man's head and then sent yourself two billion dollars as he
41:12suffocated river you can come with us right now we'll take you to holding and from this moment until
41:19your trial you have our word you'll be fully protected yeah or you can choose to walk out this door
41:25right now and lawyer up and we'll have no choice but to start a very public investigation into you
41:34now when that gets out over the media they'll descend like vultures and very little time we'll have
41:40enough to charge you with murder but by then it'll be too late because everyone will know your true
41:46identity and all that anonymity that you've worked for that you've killed for will vanish and of all the
41:54riot coin buyers that you duped i promise you one of them is going to do a lot more than
41:59just break
42:00down your door you can't do that we can and we will you don't know what it's like okay i
42:12haven't slept
42:12in two years i feel like i'm going insane my head is pounding i feel like i'm just my brain
