#video #Law and Order Toronto Criminal Episode 4 Engsub
Transcript
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.
00:16So there I was, center field, exhibition stadium, drunk as a skunk, no pants.
00:21Dave Steeb on the mound.
00:23So I says, pitch me one, Davey. I'll end your no-hitter.
00:29Oh, Betty, you are such a liar.
00:31Don't you believe me, Prim?
00:33Prim? Hey, it's Maggie, you dimwit. I've slept with half the men in here, so don't you dare call me
00:38Prim.
00:39Sorry.
00:40I tell you what, let me try on that swanky gold ring of yours, and then I'll call a square.
00:47Easy, Cleopatra. Mark Anthony here, and this is afternoon nap.
00:51Then I guess you must be the, uh, Ashley.
00:56I wouldn't be alive without you.
00:58Just doing my job.
00:59I've met other social workers, Ethan. They judge. You care.
01:03Which is why I got you something.
01:05Kyle, you know I can't accept gifts.
01:07It's not that kind of gift.
01:08What is it?
01:12The answer to the question you keep asking people.
01:24Ethan, what's up?
01:25You all right?
01:26You knew.
01:29Didn't you?
01:30All this time?
01:32Hey, why don't you get in the car?
01:34We'll talk.
01:35I don't want to get in your car.
01:36I want the truth.
01:39Be sure it's true when you say, I love you.
01:47We accommodate all religious days and events, and on Sunday nights, your mom can sip a cocktail
01:54or a boost while she enjoys music she loves.
01:58Rose and Dario come by once a month to see their friend Benny and entertain.
02:02They're a real hoot.
02:03Just because these words were spoken, I love you.
02:11Yes, I do.
02:12Oh, keep it clean, ma.
02:14Someone's going to have a heart attack.
02:16Oh, ma.
02:18Can you believe a mug like your dad tickling the ivories like that, Matteo?
02:22Apparently, Liberace used to roll briscine to make it better at piano.
02:25Oh, true?
02:26No, Benny.
02:27When you say, I love you, it's a sin.
02:32When you say, I love you, it's a sin to tell a lie.
02:42There you go.
02:48God, you smell good, honey.
02:54I can't get you out of my head.
02:56I know, honey.
02:58I know.
03:06There you go.
03:15Where are we going?
03:18It's so cold.
03:32Oh, Prem, how did we get here, baby?
04:50So, the home executive director said that this was not Benny's first late-night outing.
04:56Apparently, they found him wandering various parts of the park over the last month or so.
05:00This wasn't an accident.
05:02Slipper treads match these indents in the turf, but the indents are pointed, made with the balls of the feet.
05:07If Benny wheeled himself out, he'd be digging his heels in, dragging, not pushing.
05:11He didn't do this.
05:12Someone wore his slippers.
05:14Someone brought him out here to die.
05:16That mark on his left pinky finger.
05:19You know, frostbite starts at the very end of our extremities and works backwards.
05:23That mark's above the knuckle.
05:26Benny was wearing a ring, and he was allergic to it.
05:28And blue skin, especially around his mouth and fingernails.
05:32That could just be the cold, but it might be cyanosis, lack of oxygen.
05:37Opiate overdose?
05:38It's possible.
05:38I was freezing cold last night.
05:40Look at these sweat marks.
05:42Exposure, overdose.
05:44Combination of both.
05:45Now let's call it in.
05:47Who would do such a horrible thing to a sweet old man?
05:51Excuse me.
05:52Is this going to be much longer?
05:54At least she didn't snap her fingers at us.
05:57That was a good catch.
06:00Hey, Mark, can I ask you, what are you doing here?
06:03Am I a suspect?
06:05Sorry, it's a force of habit.
06:08I was doing what I do every morning before work.
06:11Visiting my mom.
06:17Hi, Mamie.
06:20Hi.
06:21How are you doing?
06:22It's a beautiful day out there.
06:24Next of kin is listed here as Benny's son, Dr. Sheldon Donahue.
06:28Does he visit?
06:29Is he here a lot?
06:30Don't know.
06:31I've never met him.
06:34Did Benny have a personal care worker?
06:37Yes.
06:37Gia Frank.
06:38She's off today.
06:39Okay.
06:39Well, we're going to need her number.
06:41Uh, we'd also like a list of all of Benny's visitors, please.
06:46Okay.
06:48Here it is.
06:52There are no visitors for an entire year?
06:55Not even his son?
06:56That's what the log says.
06:57You don't find that strange?
06:58Not at all.
06:59The lives of senior citizens are lonelier and sadder than the public cares to know.
07:03Was Benny an opiate addict?
07:04The file here says he had a prescription for buprenorphine.
07:08Benny had medication for a chronic back pain.
07:10It was bad.
07:11He could barely walk.
07:12Well, either way, I don't think Benny wheeled himself out into the dark with a head full of opiates.
07:18And as I'm sure you're well aware, any stories of negligence surrounding a care home, well, they seem to snowball
07:25in the press.
07:26So, Mrs. Malbouf, your best look right now is your complete and total cooperation with this investigation.
07:36T-T-T-Tia.
07:39That's cute.
07:40It's straight for voicemail.
07:50Bateman.
07:54Remember who you are.
07:58An affirmation?
07:59He was reading Mole Flanders.
08:01It's a story about repentance.
08:03Maybe remember who you are is a sign of a guilty conscience.
08:07Could be a threat from Benny's killer.
08:10It's, uh, lipstick, so perhaps it belongs to the elusive geode.
08:14Oh, well, let's get a car on our, uh, missing care worker.
08:18And in the meantime, let's you and I deliver the bad news in person.
08:22Find out why Dr. Andrew Donahue wasn't visiting his dad.
08:30Uh, doctor, excuse me.
08:31I'm Detective, uh, Henry Graff.
08:33This is Detective Francesca Bateman, Toronto Police.
08:36Hi. How can I help?
08:37Well, doctor, we've just come from Gracewood Manor.
08:40I'm so sorry to inform you that your father, Benjamin Donahue, passed away this morning.
08:46You're joking?
08:47My father died nine years ago.
08:53Uh, doctor, do you recognize this man?
08:57Never seen him before in my life.
08:59So this is not Benjamin Donahue?
09:00No.
09:01Wait, are you saying this guy was pretending to be my dad?
09:05It's probably just a clerical error.
09:07We're very sorry to have bothered you.
09:16That's a nice piece.
09:18Mm-hmm.
09:19Solid gold.
09:20Where'd you get it?
09:21Friend gave it to me.
09:23Hmm.
09:24I'm just gonna go grab my lube.
09:26Okay.
09:40So, uh, how much do you want for it?
09:44You know what?
09:45I changed my mind.
09:46I actually think I'm gonna keep it.
09:49What's your rush?
09:51Hey, get back here!
09:53Benny Donahue, John Doe, whatever his name is, suffered from NF1, neurofibromatosis.
09:59You can see the telltale cafe au lait marks on his torso.
10:03I also found a fibroma growing in his spine.
10:06I wonder the poor guy could barely walk.
10:09I think Benny was a smoker trying to quit nicotine patch, although strangely his lungs were clear.
10:16And, detective, you were right. The discoloration around his pinky finger is most likely a reaction to the nickel used
10:23to fortify a 24-karat gold ring.
10:25Do you have a cause of death?
10:26The cause of death is hypothermia, but the massive amount of buprenorphine in his system didn't help.
10:32Well, that many opiates in his system, then he wouldn't have made a peep.
10:36Also...
10:37Oh, the blue fingernails.
10:38No. Fingerprints.
10:40He has none.
10:42They're burned off, chemically.
10:44What did our victim do for work?
10:46Well, we were hoping you could tell us that, because everything the retirement home has on him is fake.
10:52Well, hunch at the neck, tennis elbow.
10:56Maybe he worked with his hands?
10:58Hmm.
11:00Who are you, Benny?
11:04Well, uniforms have a 20 on Gia.
11:09I didn't steal anything.
11:11No.
11:12Is that because of your religion?
11:14Um, no.
11:16Why?
11:16The menorah on your cupboard?
11:18No?
11:19Nothing?
11:20Rings no bells?
11:21What, the crappy brass candlestick?
11:23It was Benny's, wasn't it?
11:24You see, despite his phony Irish name, we know that Benny was suffering from neurofibromatosis,
11:30a genetic condition often seen in Ashkenazi Jews.
11:34He gave it to me.
11:35I was good to him.
11:36He wanted to thank...
11:38Thank me.
11:39What about the ring, Gia?
11:41Uh, was that a gift, too?
11:42God, I don't have his stupid ring.
11:45Where were you last night between midnight and 4am?
11:48Booty call.
11:48Chad something.
11:50You can check my bumble.
11:51Yeah, you seem real beat up to learn that Benny died.
11:54It kind of comes with the job.
11:55Like dementia?
11:58When did you know he had it?
12:01Dementia, that wasn't in his chart.
12:04Well, it wouldn't be, would it?
12:05The symptoms had just started.
12:07That's why he asked to borrow your lipstick so he could write,
12:10remember who you are, on his mirror.
12:12And that's why he wore the nicotine patch to stave off memory loss.
12:16Benny wanted to stay lucid.
12:17Okay, there may have been some signs.
12:21We're getting somewhere.
12:22Look, some people lose their memory, other people lose their filter.
12:25Say things they wouldn't normally say.
12:27It was hard to tell.
12:28Okay, so what kind of stuff was Benny saying?
12:30He used to always talk about some girl named Prim
12:33and how he once pinked a job from the Lucky
12:36for some guy, George Chuffalo, Chuffalo.
12:38George Chavalo?
12:40The boxer.
12:41I guess.
12:42So that's why he lasted so long against Allah?
12:45Ali.
12:46Muhammad Ali.
12:47Maple Leaf Gardens, 1966.
12:49Look, I don't know if any of it was true,
12:50but he was always very entertaining.
12:52Mm-hmm.
12:53Okay, Gia, where's the ring?
12:55I threw it out.
12:56Honest.
12:57I tried to sell it at the Sherbourne Pond,
12:59and the guy got really weird.
13:01Grabbed me.
13:01It was actually, like, really scary.
13:03So, bye-bye ring.
13:07What else can you tell us about this ring?
13:09It was gold, it was heavy, any distinguishing features, markings?
13:13Yeah, actually, it had a carving of a bull on it.
13:16It wasn't like I was gonna wear it.
13:17Not even a Taurus.
13:18No, you wouldn't wear that ring.
13:19It would clash with your new orange jumpsuit.
13:23What?
13:24Pinked a job means he made a suit with great care.
13:28Hunch on the neck, tennis elbow.
13:31Benny was a tailor.
13:32Yeah, maybe the Lucky was his shop.
13:38Ah, Tom Ford, as we live and breathe.
13:41Who?
13:41Tom Ford, the, uh, tailor?
13:43Designer?
13:44I thought he was the guy who made cars.
13:45No, that's me, Henry.
13:47What's your name?
13:49Joey.
13:50Joey.
13:50Joey, you ever seen this man before?
13:53Nah.
13:54Nah.
13:54Well, we're gonna need a record of employment,
13:56a pay stub, maybe a number so we can call your boss.
14:00Come on, bro.
14:00Some guy hands me cash to come in here and, like...
14:02And, like, you know what?
14:04Keep the lights on.
14:05Don't burn the place down.
14:06Almost sounds like a direct quote.
14:08Okay, cool.
14:10It's cool.
14:11Tell me, Joey, just...
14:12Just between us.
14:13Where in the store are you not allowed to go?
14:24Back up?
14:27Good talk.
14:28Good talk.
14:37Look at that, Judy.
14:39The middle seam's undone.
14:41What do we got?
14:50That's a Colt 1911.
14:52That's a beautiful piece.
14:57Serial numbers filed off, tape on the grip.
15:00No finger prints, access to sports celebrities.
15:04It wasn't a ball on Benny's ring.
15:06It was a cow with horns, a sign of strength in Calabria.
15:09You're thinking our Benny's mafia.
15:11I am.
15:14Judging by his gun collection,
15:17I think our Benny was a hitman.
15:24Benjamin Benny Cohen,
15:26a.k.a. Benny the Gent,
15:28a.k.a. The Mench.
15:30Never married, never had any kids.
15:32Gia said he used to talk about a woman named Prim.
15:35Could be an ex-girlfriend,
15:36but so far we haven't found anyone with a name.
15:38Yep.
15:39First Jewish hitman in the Toronto mob.
15:41I've been hearing stories about Benny the Gent
15:44since I was a rookie.
15:46Kind of like the boogeyman of the underworld.
15:48An old commander told me once
15:50that when Benny was 20-something,
15:52a mob boss refused to pay him.
15:54So Benny sneaks into the mob boss's house,
15:57puts a gun next to his sleeping son's head,
16:00and pulls the trigger.
16:01Boss comes running in.
16:03Benny looks at him and says,
16:04that's an extra zero on the end of what you owe me.
16:08How rich do you want to make me?
16:09This is exactly why it's going to be hard
16:11to narrow down a suspect.
16:13Benny was a person of interest
16:14in at least 15 murders over the course of 40 years.
16:17It's a lot of bad blood,
16:19a lot of underworld debt to pay.
16:21But since 2015,
16:23we have nothing on Benny going.
16:24Find out which of our guys
16:26has eyes on the Calabrian mafia
16:28and see if they can narrow down
16:29who exactly would want this man dead.
16:34I mean, as far as we know,
16:36Benny stopped working for the mob
16:38nine, ten years ago.
16:39Nobody's hiring a hitman in a wheelchair.
16:41Detective Novak,
16:43if you were to take a wild guess,
16:44which one of these guys
16:45would want Benny dead after all these years?
16:49None of them.
16:50That's the thing.
16:50They're all getting old.
16:51They're moving to Florida.
16:52Calabrians have been very quiet lately.
16:54You know, it's unlike the mafia,
16:55the bear grudge.
16:56Sure.
16:57But Benny,
16:58Benny's freelance.
16:59He worked for all four leaders
17:01of the Calabrian mafia in Toronto.
17:02You think your answer's up there?
17:04You have to talk to all those guys.
17:06But,
17:07here's a word to the wise.
17:09No one's gonna admit
17:10to even knowing Benny,
17:12let alone employing him.
17:15You want one of the big boys to talk?
17:17You need to prove
17:17he had a solid connection to Benny,
17:19and I mean concrete.
17:21That's not gonna be easy.
17:23This is why criminals love Canada.
17:25We are one of the most opaque jurisdictions
17:27in the world
17:28when it comes to identifying
17:29the president of a company.
17:31Numbered company,
17:31owned by numbered company.
17:33Another title search,
17:34another ghost.
17:35All we need is a connection to Benny,
17:37and if we can find any kind of payment,
17:39we can cross-reference it
17:40with mob-style killings
17:41at the same time.
17:42Okay, but without a clear paper trail,
17:44I won't be able to tell
17:45which family paid what.
17:46We need to put names
17:47to these numbers.
17:50Hey.
17:51Look, I just wanted to say
17:54maybe it's none of my business,
17:56but if you ever need anything
17:59or you wanted to talk,
18:01I'm here, okay?
18:03You know that, right?
18:05It's dementia.
18:06Early onset.
18:08Oh, God, Mark, I'm so sorry.
18:10It just happened so quickly.
18:11One day she's living
18:12an independent life,
18:13and next she's stuck
18:14in the middle of the 4-on-1
18:15because she can't remember
18:16how to drive.
18:17Jeez.
18:19How's she doing now?
18:19She's forgotten most of the basics.
18:22Names, dates.
18:23Doesn't even remember me
18:24half the time.
18:25A brother and I compete
18:26with each other
18:27to try to get her
18:28to say our names.
18:29He sings for her ABBA.
18:30I bring her
18:31Baskin-Robbins pralines and cream.
18:33Once in a while,
18:34she remembers us.
18:35Says,
18:36thank you, baby,
18:36or I love you, Mark.
18:40Makes everything worth it.
18:42Hey.
18:43He's got Benny's bank records released.
18:46It should be up on the server.
18:48Okay, now we're talking.
18:50Huh.
18:51$10,000 deposited monthly
18:53going back years.
18:54Last deposit was a week ago.
18:56Depositor?
18:57Yeah, that's great.
18:58Numbered company.
18:59Surprise, surprise.
19:00No name attached.
19:01It was briefly set up
19:02at a retail space in Mississauga.
19:04And it was sold by...
19:06Agent's name is Matteo Galati.
19:09Galati.
19:10Son of my boss,
19:11Dario Galati,
19:13a.k.a.
19:14Il Machilayo.
19:16The butcher.
19:17His signature dish
19:18was flaying people
19:19who betrayed him.
19:21Dario used his numbered company
19:22to keep Benny's payments
19:23off his books.
19:24Why would Dario
19:25be sending monthly payments
19:26if Benny was retired?
19:28Maybe Dario got sick
19:29of paying for a hitman
19:30who couldn't hit anymore,
19:31especially one
19:32with an occipital lobe
19:33that was turning him
19:34into a chatty Cathy.
19:36Hey, buddy.
19:38You better get your story
19:39straight.
19:39Homicide is sniffing around.
19:56You put it up like this
19:57with your right hand,
19:58this hand,
19:58you turn it toward you
19:59and with your left hand
20:01you turn it away from you,
20:02all right?
20:05Detectives?
20:05You could have called.
20:06No one answered.
20:07Ah, we saw that the shop
20:09was open,
20:09took the chance
20:10you'd be here.
20:11I'm a little peckish.
20:12So, uh,
20:12the murder police
20:13show up unannounced
20:14while I'm working
20:15with my family
20:16with a line down
20:17on the block.
20:18You know,
20:18people did, uh,
20:19start thinking
20:20the wrong thing.
20:21Oh, what would
20:21the wrong thing be?
20:22That a baker
20:22used to be a butcher?
20:24Il Machilayo.
20:26Sofia Beleza,
20:28come with you.
20:32So, what can I do
20:33for you?
20:34Look, Dario,
20:35we understand
20:35your need
20:36for the sweet
20:37old man act,
20:38but it's not for us.
20:39We know who you are
20:40and that ring
20:40on your pinky
20:41says it loud and clear.
20:43We just want to know
20:43where you were
20:44the night that
20:44Benny Cohen
20:45was murdered.
20:47So you know
20:48who I am, huh?
20:50If that were true,
20:51you'd know
20:52that Benny and me,
20:53we were like brothers.
20:54Well, Cain and Abel
20:55were brothers.
20:58Well, if Abel
20:59saved Cain's life,
21:00then things would've
21:01turned out different
21:02from them.
21:02Not so many
21:03saved your life.
21:05Matter of fact,
21:06he did.
21:06Ten years ago,
21:07I had a home invasion.
21:08These two lowlifes
21:10tied up me
21:10and my son,
21:11Matteo,
21:12and they robbed us.
21:13And when they figured
21:13out who I was...
21:14They couldn't risk
21:15leaving you alive.
21:17Exactly.
21:17And if Benny
21:18hadn't shown up
21:19exactly when he did,
21:21so I have nothing
21:22but love for that man.
21:24So much so
21:25that I pulled strings
21:27and I paid
21:28to put him
21:29in a private care home
21:30when he couldn't
21:31walk properly anymore.
21:32Well, you also
21:33paid him ten grand
21:34a month
21:35for the last ten years.
21:36The numbered company
21:37that paid Benny
21:38was connected
21:39to a building
21:40that your son sold.
21:41My son is a real estate agent.
21:43He has nothing
21:44to do with my business.
21:46Nothing.
21:47When was the last time
21:48you saw Benny?
21:49Did you ever visit him
21:50in his suite?
21:51I don't remember.
21:51You don't remember?
21:52Oh, that's an interesting
21:53choice of words.
21:54considering Benny
21:55was suffering
21:55from dementia.
21:57Benny had dementia?
21:59Yeah.
22:00And you know what?
22:00We heard it was starting
22:01to make him
22:01a little bit talkative.
22:03I don't know.
22:03Maybe you had
22:04some secrets with him
22:05that you wouldn't want
22:05spilled.
22:08I didn't know
22:09that Benny had dementia.
22:12It's kind of good
22:13that he went
22:13the way he did.
22:14It was probably
22:14a kindness of God.
22:15It would have killed us
22:17to watch him
22:17go through that.
22:18Enough to take matters
22:19into your own hands.
22:22The night Benny died,
22:24I was at the
22:25Mount Dennis Legion.
22:27Charity poker game.
22:28You know what?
22:30Here.
22:31Enjoy him
22:32on your way out.
22:34Well, his grief
22:36seemed real,
22:36but I once knew
22:38a mob guy
22:38who swore he never
22:39beat his wife,
22:40even when I found him
22:41standing over
22:41a dead body.
22:42Yeah, well,
22:44empty visitor's log
22:45has a mob written
22:47all over it.
22:48Still begs the question,
22:49though.
22:49Who else was left off?
22:52So you're still
22:53saying that Benny
22:54had no visitors
22:55for an entire year?
22:56I showed you
22:57the visitor's log.
22:58Okay, see,
22:59that's the thing
22:59about being married
23:00to the mob, Charlotte.
23:02It makes telling the truth
23:03a little harder,
23:03doesn't it?
23:04Mob boss shows up
23:05with his best friend,
23:06tells you to look after him.
23:08Well, I bet you're
23:10going to do what he says.
23:12Now we get it.
23:13These are scary people.
23:15But you,
23:16you're on a tight ship,
23:17huh?
23:18Look at that.
23:20Jealous.
23:21So where are the names?
23:23To be clear,
23:24all I did was agree
23:25to keep the log empty.
23:26Okay.
23:27So,
23:28who do we not know about?
23:29A few weeks ago,
23:30my assistant didn't get
23:32the memo about
23:32not entering
23:33Benny's visitors.
23:35She entered a name
23:36into the log.
23:37I arrived and...
23:38Deleted it.
23:41What was the name?
23:42I don't remember
23:43the last name,
23:44but the first name's Ethan.
23:46So no Ethan's
23:48associated with
23:49mob hits
23:50in the 90s.
23:52And nothing
23:53in the aughts
23:54or the teens,
23:55nothing in Hamilton,
23:56nothing in Montreal.
23:59What about
24:00civilian murders?
24:01Maybe this wasn't
24:02connected to a mob hit.
24:07Okay.
24:10Whoa.
24:11Uh,
24:12not exactly a civilian,
24:14but
24:15narcotics officer,
24:16Vincent O'Hagan,
24:17was murdered
24:17on Lake Simcoe.
24:19A case file says
24:20that Benny was
24:21briefly suspect
24:22due to the gun
24:23that was used,
24:23but then it got
24:24attributed to
24:25a string of B&Es,
24:26but...
24:27Survived by
24:28his wife Angela O'Hagan
24:30and his son
24:30Ethan O'Hagan.
24:33Okay,
24:34Ethan O'Hagan
24:34works in corrections
24:35as a social worker.
24:37So we got the son
24:38of a slain
24:39police officer
24:41working with
24:42hardened criminals,
24:43his father's
24:43death unsolved.
24:45Maybe Ethan
24:45hoped to find out
24:46who killed his father
24:47by working with
24:48the only people
24:49in the world
24:49who would know.
24:51other killers.
24:53Maybe he finally
24:54found the right suspect.
25:04So, Ethan,
25:05who told you
25:06that Benny Cohen
25:07killed your father?
25:08Benny who?
25:09Uh, Benny who?
25:10Your father was a cop.
25:12He was murdered
25:12at a fishing cabin
25:14on Lake Simcoe.
25:15Wasn't even on the job,
25:17just trying to relax,
25:18catch a few carp.
25:19It was a senseless,
25:20awful murder.
25:22And you wanted revenge.
25:23I said I don't
25:24know any Benny.
25:25Well, the staff
25:26at Gracewood Manor
25:27said that you visited
25:28Benny in his suite
25:29three weeks ago.
25:30Do you want to
25:31keep playing this game?
25:36One thing I've learned
25:37on the job,
25:39cellmates talk.
25:40One of them squawked,
25:41huh?
25:42You've been doing
25:43this job, what,
25:44five years?
25:45That's a lot of
25:45dangerous men
25:46you talk to.
25:47Did you ask them all?
25:48Wouldn't you?
25:50You thought you
25:51could find out
25:51who killed your father?
25:52Sure, he was your hero.
25:53It became an obsession.
25:55You wanted justice.
25:56Hero.
25:57Right.
25:58He was a decorated
25:59officer.
26:00Look,
26:01everything you're
26:01saying is true.
26:03Yes, I wanted to find
26:04my father's killer.
26:05And yes,
26:06I planned to kill him
26:07when I did.
26:10So,
26:12Ethan,
26:13did you?
26:16I couldn't.
26:17I went to see
26:18Benny at the home.
26:19I confronted him
26:19about everything.
26:22It was so weird.
26:24Benny didn't duck from it.
26:25He admitted
26:26to killing my father.
26:27He was regretful.
26:30Atoning, even.
26:31He told me things
26:32about my father
26:33I never knew.
26:34Like what?
26:35Like the fact that
26:36my dad was on
26:36the mafia payroll.
26:38Excuse me?
26:40Yeah,
26:41I, uh,
26:43I threw up
26:44after Benny
26:44told me that one.
26:46But after I thought
26:47about it,
26:47it all made sense.
26:48My dad had been
26:49taking money
26:50from the Galati family
26:51since he graduated
26:52from police college.
26:53Ethan,
26:54did Benny tell you
26:55why the mob
26:56wanted your father dead?
26:58You ever hear
26:59some stash house
27:00that got held up
27:00back in 2010?
27:01Yeah,
27:02Jamestown Towers,
27:03a massed assailant,
27:04took down
27:05three Calabrian soldiers
27:06and two innocent
27:07bystanders.
27:08One of them
27:09a six-year-old kid.
27:11It was my father.
27:17Apparently,
27:18Dad felt he wasn't
27:19being paid enough.
27:22So, uh,
27:24he decided to get
27:25himself a little cash
27:26bonus before Christmas.
27:29I spent my whole life
27:31trying to get justice
27:32for a good man
27:33that, um,
27:36well,
27:36he never existed.
27:39who was Vincent O'Hagan's
27:41partner when he was
27:42killed?
27:44Ethan knew we were
27:45coming.
27:45Maybe he still has
27:46a contact in the Force.
27:49Jesus.
27:55Okay.
27:58God gave him one face,
27:59he gave himself another.
28:00fire.
28:08What can I get you,
28:09Detective Novak?
28:11Uh, is your,
28:11is your husband here?
28:13No.
28:14Oh.
28:14Can I give him a message?
28:15Yeah, sure.
28:16I just wanted to say
28:17how sorry I was
28:18to hear about
28:18Benny Cohen,
28:19really.
28:20Benny was a good man,
28:21knew how to keep
28:22his mouth shut.
28:23At least until recently,
28:24I heard he was getting
28:25a little sloppy.
28:25You want to get to the point?
28:27Sure.
28:28If Benny happened to mention
28:29anything to you
28:30or your husband about me,
28:31I suggest you just forget it.
28:32Or at least,
28:34keep it to yourselves.
28:36There are plenty more
28:37photos where that came from.
28:52Got you, got you.
28:53Come on now.
28:54Walsh, come on,
28:54you gotta pass the ball
28:55sometime.
28:55I'm open.
28:57Put it up, put it up.
28:59Hawkins, it's all you.
29:00Don't let me down.
29:04Detectives,
29:05any news on Benny Cohen?
29:06Uh, Ethan O'Hagan,
29:08son of your former partner,
29:10Vincent.
29:12Benny killed Vincent.
29:15Ethan found out
29:16and wanted revenge.
29:18He?
29:19Guys,
29:21there's no way.
29:22You and Vincent
29:22were partners for, what,
29:23eight years?
29:24Were you close?
29:25Come on, guys.
29:27Your partner's your family.
29:29So how'd it feel
29:29when Ethan told you
29:30Benny had killed your family?
29:32It was 15 years ago.
29:35Wounds heal.
29:36Look, you guys are done
29:37trying to,
29:38trying to shake me down
29:39for Benny Cohen's murder.
29:40I'm just gonna get back
29:41to my game.
29:42Wounds heal.
29:44Well, I,
29:44I would say that,
29:46wounds heal.
29:48This wasn't
29:50about revenge,
29:51Bateman.
29:51No,
29:52we were wrong.
29:53This,
29:53this is about betrayal.
29:55You knew Benny
29:56was the first suspect.
29:57And you also knew
29:58your partner
29:59was on the take,
30:00didn't you?
30:00The question is,
30:01when did you find out
30:02he was dirty,
30:03before or after?
30:05Detectives, uh...
30:06If somebody murdered
30:06my partner,
30:07it'd take 500 years
30:08for my wounds to heal.
30:10But you seem
30:11awfully copacetic.
30:13Copacetic with maybe
30:14a little tinge of guilt?
30:16What,
30:16what are you suggesting?
30:18Officially,
30:18Vincent was on sick leave,
30:20you know,
30:20but he was actually
30:21in hiding,
30:22wasn't he?
30:22The fishing cabin
30:23where he was killed,
30:25Lake Simcoe.
30:26That cabin was owned
30:27by your old captain.
30:28You all had access to it.
30:29Vincent's murder
30:30was attributed
30:31to a string of B and E's,
30:32so we stopped
30:33looking at the mob.
30:34Because you made sure
30:35that that happened.
30:36Right, Novak?
30:37Because you couldn't
30:38have anyone asking
30:39how Benny knew
30:40where Vincent was,
30:41because Vincent
30:42didn't tell anybody,
30:43not even his wife.
30:44No.
30:45But partners,
30:47partners always know
30:48more than the wives.
30:49Okay, look,
30:49this, this is insane.
30:51Benny Cohen
30:52knew your deepest,
30:54darkest secret,
30:55and we believe
30:55you killed him,
30:56so he wouldn't share it.
30:57No.
30:58No.
30:59For 15 years,
31:01for 15 years,
31:01I never touched that guy.
31:04I didn't have to.
31:06What do you mean?
31:07Look, just to be clear,
31:08I'm not saying
31:09that I gave up
31:09my partner that night.
31:11This is,
31:13it's all hypothetical,
31:14right?
31:15Sure.
31:16Okay.
31:17Hypothetically,
31:19let's say
31:21someone very frightening
31:22does threaten
31:24your wife
31:24and your children
31:26and all you need
31:27to do is
31:29give them an address,
31:31a dirty cop goes down,
31:34and your family
31:35stays safe.
31:36Right?
31:38Let's say you are terrified,
31:41and let's say
31:42that you do it.
31:43It all goes down,
31:44you wake up the next morning
31:45when your wife
31:45brings you pancakes,
31:47and then she tells you
31:48a funny story
31:48about leaving the key
31:50in the lock
31:50overnight.
31:52Again.
31:54And then you're realizing
31:55you are never going
31:56to be safe.
31:58Not without insurance.
32:03So you got insurance.
32:05You tracked Benny,
32:06you followed him,
32:07and you got a secret
32:08on him.
32:09Come on, Novak.
32:10It's over.
32:11Benny's dead.
32:13You want to tell us
32:14a secret?
32:15I guess it doesn't
32:16matter anymore.
32:20Benny Cohen
32:21was having an affair
32:23with Rose Galati,
32:25Dario Galati's wife,
32:27and I got pictures
32:28to prove it.
32:37Rose Galati and Benny Cohen.
32:39These were Novak's
32:40insurance policy.
32:41Yes, they were.
32:42Let me get it straight.
32:44Uh, Vincent O'Hagan
32:45robs a mob stash house,
32:47kills five people.
32:48The mob hires Benny Cohen
32:50to retaliate.
32:52Benny threatens
32:52Vincent's partner
32:53to find out
32:55Vincent's location,
32:56and Novak gives it up.
32:59A cop served up
33:00to the mob
33:00by his partner?
33:03Huh.
33:04This is gonna be
33:05a garbage fire.
33:05It's a dirty cop
33:07who killed a kid
33:07at a stash house robbery.
33:09I can't hear the difference.
33:10I'm just saying,
33:11look,
33:11I kind of feel for Novak.
33:13I mean, look,
33:14if somebody threatened
33:14my kid,
33:17I don't know
33:17what I would do.
33:19But Novak is not
33:20admitting to anything
33:21just yet.
33:21But it won't take
33:22much to prove
33:22now that we know.
33:24Okay, leave it with me.
33:25I need to start
33:27making some calls.
33:28God, is it gonna be
33:28a long night.
33:29Theo, please,
33:31if you can,
33:31stay on top
33:32this trail with me.
33:33Mm-hmm.
33:33Of course.
33:34I was thrilled
33:35to get out of that dinner.
33:37We need to find
33:38Benny's killer now.
33:39I need to be able
33:40to assure my bosses
33:41that no more police
33:43were corrupted
33:43in the making
33:44of this movie.
33:45Well, Dario Galati,
33:46our suspect number one.
33:48Mafia have a code.
33:49You fool around
33:50with the boss's wife,
33:51you die.
33:52More than that,
33:53Dario trusted Benny
33:54as if he was
33:55his own blood.
33:56Gave him a ring
33:56that would normally
33:57only go to a made man.
33:59It wasn't just a gift,
34:00it was a show of loyalty,
34:03an act of love.
34:04Now, imagine
34:05that outsider,
34:06the one that you've treated
34:07like a brother,
34:09has been sleeping
34:09with your wife
34:10for your entire marriage.
34:11What about Benny?
34:12Do we know
34:13where Dario was that night?
34:14No, he's rock solid,
34:15but he's the boss.
34:16They seldom want
34:18blood on their hands.
34:19Great, we're back
34:20to the button, man.
34:21Who is the new Benny
34:22and the Calabrian mob?
34:24You don't worry,
34:25we're on it.
34:25Good.
34:26I want this over.
34:35Thank you for the ride,
34:37my love.
34:37It's fine.
34:38I know you don't like driving.
34:40Eh, Mateo,
34:40before Benny died,
34:42did you talk at all?
34:44Did he say anything
34:46strange or
34:46out of the ordinary?
34:48What do you mean?
34:49I don't know.
34:50I'm just wondering
34:51what he was thinking.
34:54The day before,
34:55he asked me to come
34:55visit him,
34:56but I didn't have time.
35:02I feel bad now.
35:04Don't feel bad?
35:06Benny wouldn't want that.
35:14Why do they sound so improbable?
35:17Because it doesn't line up.
35:19Well,
35:20I meant their names,
35:21but what are you talking about?
35:23Benny's death.
35:24You know,
35:25if we're
35:26right about the motives,
35:27then
35:28this was
35:28personal.
35:30This wasn't about
35:31business or
35:33rivalry or greed.
35:35This was
35:35betrayal
35:36of a Shakespearean
35:38proportion.
35:39You think Dario
35:40did it himself?
35:41It was too personal
35:42not to.
35:42Maybe,
35:43except
35:43il matulio,
35:45I mean,
35:45pushing an old man
35:46out in the cold
35:47to freeze to death.
35:49Oh,
35:49it's a little tame
35:49for a man
35:50who's known
35:51for flaying people.
35:55You know,
35:55it almost
35:55looks like
35:56the work of a civilian.
36:00Like a son,
36:01maybe?
36:01Yeah,
36:01but I thought
36:01Matteo wasn't
36:02following in his
36:03father's footsteps.
36:04Yeah,
36:04except Benny
36:05was sleeping
36:05with his mother,
36:06humiliating his father.
36:08Maybe that was
36:08enough to
36:09bring him back home.
36:12Pull him back in?
36:14As you can see,
36:15the old owners
36:16didn't like cheap things,
36:17and there's nothing cheap
36:19about this view.
36:20Or these floors.
36:22These babies.
36:23Blonde maple?
36:24Hand-milled.
36:25That's very good.
36:27He likes to show off.
36:28I do.
36:29Especially this little guy.
36:31Do you mind?
36:33Why don't you go
36:34check out the wine cellar?
36:35I'll be down in a second.
36:39Detective,
36:40I'm not sure
36:40if you've heard,
36:41but I don't bake.
36:43Maybe not,
36:44but what you did
36:45assault a man
36:45when you were 15
36:46for insulting
36:47your father,
36:48was it?
36:49And on the night
36:49that Benny Cohen died,
36:51your car was a block
36:52away from
36:53Gracewood Manor.
36:58Seems Orwell was right.
37:00Big brother is watching.
37:01Well, he can watch
37:02what he likes,
37:03because I was home
37:04asleep that night.
37:05So,
37:05your car just
37:06wandered off?
37:08Benny saved my life.
37:09He was like
37:10an uncle to me.
37:11And I've seen that trick
37:12before,
37:12you've been playing it
37:12on my family for years.
37:14Get a new one.
37:14That photo is real,
37:16so we could get
37:17a warrant for the GPS
37:18to corroborate it,
37:19or you could just
37:20tell us the truth.
37:21Save everyone
37:21a lot of trouble.
37:23I was home,
37:24I swear to you.
37:25I'm gonna tell you,
37:25I'll wait.
37:26Did Benny tell you
37:27something before he died?
37:28Did he try to
37:29pull you aside,
37:30maybe?
37:30No.
37:31Why does everyone
37:32keep asking me that?
37:33Who's everyone?
37:37You know what?
37:38You wanna keep chatting,
37:40talk to my lawyer.
37:41We're done.
37:44Okay, Graf,
37:45what's going on?
37:47Well,
37:47the kid just
37:48showed his hand.
37:51We're closed.
37:52We're not here
37:53for the grissini,
37:54as delicious as they are.
37:55Mom,
37:56you almost ready
37:57to head home?
37:58If you're looking
37:58for Dario,
37:59he's not.
37:59We're not here
38:00for Dario either.
38:01We'd like to talk
38:02to you and your son.
38:03Let's hope
38:03for all our sakes
38:04that this conversation
38:05ends before
38:06your husband arrives.
38:11Ah, there he is.
38:13Brodigal son.
38:15I told you this afternoon,
38:17talk to my lawyer.
38:18We will.
38:19We just want to
38:20clear a few things up first.
38:21Yeah, I find baking
38:23an interesting choice
38:24up front
38:24for organized crime.
38:27Hmm?
38:28Bread.
38:30Manna.
38:32Food from the gods,
38:34all made possible
38:35by a reaction
38:36of yeast
38:38feeding on sugar.
38:39A fungus
38:40getting rich
38:41off the sweet,
38:42off the innocent.
38:44Carnage in history
38:45created by something
38:47as simple
38:48as mixing flour
38:49with water.
38:53You see, baking
38:54has a recipe
38:56and the mafia
38:57has a code.
38:58Strict rules
38:59of loyalty
39:00and retribution.
39:01And if those rules
39:02aren't followed
39:03as closely as a recipe,
39:04well,
39:05it's mayhem.
39:06But I can't help
39:07but notice that brown mark
39:08on your hand,
39:09Mateo.
39:10My hand.
39:10Yeah, you have
39:11another one
39:11on your neck,
39:12probably have
39:12a few more
39:13on your chest,
39:13might want
39:14to see a doctor.
39:15I did.
39:15They said
39:16they're just birthmarks.
39:17Well, that's because
39:17she didn't know
39:18that one of your parents
39:19had neurofibromatosis.
39:22It's passed down
39:23from a parent
39:24to a child.
39:25Detectives, please.
39:26My parents
39:26don't have that.
39:27Ma?
39:30Is that what
39:31Benny had?
39:32That's why
39:32he had trouble walking.
39:33He had a tumor
39:34in his spine.
39:35Ma?
39:37What are you saying?
39:38I think you know
39:39what she's saying,
39:41Mateo.
39:41Maybe you've always
39:42known it deep down
39:44that Benny
39:44is your
39:45biological father.
39:49And you,
39:50Prim,
39:52Primrose,
39:53the girl that
39:54Benny could never
39:54stop pining for.
39:56You know,
39:56when I found out
39:57that Benny
39:58had been drugged,
39:59I assumed the killer
40:00was just wanting
40:01to keep him quiet,
40:02but it was really
40:03an act of kindness,
40:04wasn't it, Mateo?
40:05You knew Benny
40:06had to go
40:07before Dario
40:08found out the truth,
40:09because loose lips,
40:10they sink ships.
40:12But even so,
40:13he didn't want
40:13Benny to suffer.
40:14Because you loved him,
40:15didn't you?
40:16Like only a son can.
40:18What?
40:19No!
40:20Your car was a block
40:21away from Gracewood
40:22the night that Benny
40:23was killed.
40:23You can't account
40:24for your whereabouts
40:25on that night,
40:26and now,
40:26look at that,
40:27we have motive.
40:27No, please.
40:28I think it's about
40:28time we call your lawyer.
40:30No, Mateo wasn't
40:31driving his car
40:32that night.
40:33I was.
40:39I took it out
40:40of the driveway.
40:40He has nothing
40:41to do with this.
40:42Mateo, please go
40:42wait in the front,
40:43all right?
40:44I'm not going anywhere.
40:44Please, someone
40:45explain to me
40:46what is going on!
40:47Benny was saying
40:48things,
40:50secret things,
40:52things that
40:52if Dario found out.
40:54Dario would have
40:55to honor the code
40:56and kill his
40:57beloved friend
40:58in the most
40:59gruesome way possible.
41:00If Benny knew
41:01what he was doing,
41:02betraying the promises
41:02we made to each other,
41:04he would have
41:04done it himself.
41:05You don't know that.
41:09You can't know
41:10what was in his mind.
41:11No one can.
41:12And dementia or not,
41:13these people are
41:14still in there.
41:15They still appreciate
41:16kindness.
41:17They still feel
41:18love.
41:19So what?
41:21Let him be butchered?
41:22When you work
41:23for my husband,
41:24he puts a card
41:25in your hand
41:26and lights it on fire
41:27and says,
41:29as this card burns,
41:31so will you burn
41:32alive if you betray me.
41:34He means it.
41:35So you tell me,
41:36what was I supposed
41:37to do?
41:38Let my son
41:39be burnt alive?
41:40Let him see
41:40his mother die?
41:42Let my husband
41:43torture Benny to death?
41:44No, so you just
41:46left him out
41:46in the cold
41:47and was dead.
41:48It wasn't like
41:49that.
41:50No.
41:52I went by his
41:53side.
41:55I played
41:56our favorite song,
41:58poured him
41:59his favorite scotch
42:00and made it
42:01so that he
42:02wouldn't feel pain.
42:06And I held
42:07his hand
42:08as long
42:09as I could
42:10before I...
42:16What I did
42:17was a mercy?
42:20And maybe so.
42:21But it was also
42:22murder.
42:25Please, detective,
42:26let my mother go,
42:27okay?
42:27Take me.
42:28We'll say that
42:29it was an argument,
42:30a debt that Benny
42:31couldn't pay.
42:31We'll say that I did it
42:32if my father
42:33finds out about this.
42:34your father
42:34finds out why.
42:36What's going on here?
42:37Dad.
42:39Yamanini,
42:40let's go outside
42:40and let them finish up.
42:42What's going on here,
42:43Ross?
42:58What do you think
42:59Dario's going to do
43:00now that he knows
43:01who Mateo really is?
43:02He'll stick with the code,
43:04destroy his own son?
43:05I hope not.
43:07Codes,
43:07vows,
43:08words.
43:09And there's one thing
43:10you learn on the job
43:11is that everything
43:14can be broken.
43:41you know,
43:54exactly.
43:55It marks the use,
