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.
00:15So 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.
00:26I'll lend you a no-hitter.
00:28Oh, Betty, you're such a liar.
00:31Don't you believe me, Prim?
00:33Prim? Hey, it's Maggie, you dimwit.
00:35I've slept with half the man in here, so don't you dare call me Prim.
00:39Sorry.
00:40I'll tell you what, let me try on that swanky gold ring of yours, and then I'll call the square.
00:47Easy, Cleopatra. Mark Anthony here, and this is afternoon nap.
00:51And 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.
01:02Hmm.
01:04Which 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.
01:23Ethan, what's up?
01:25You all right?
01:26You knew.
01:29Didn't you?
01:30All this time?
01:31Hey, why don't you get in the car? We'll talk.
01:34I don't want to get in your car. I 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 or boost,
01:55while she enjoys music she loves.
01:58Rose and Dario come by once a month to see their friend Benny and entertain.
02:02I mean, they're real hooters.
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 get better at piano.
02:25That's true.
02:26No, Benny.
02:27When you say I love you, it's a sin to tell a lie.
02:42There you go.
02:47God, you smell good, honey.
02:54I can't get you out of my head.
02:56I know, buddy.
02:58I know.
03:03Shh, shh, shh.
03:06There he goes.
03:10Shh, shh, shh.
03:15Where are we going?
03:18It's so cold.
03:32Oh, Nicole.
03:36How did we get here, baby?
03:42Shh, shh.
03:44Shh, shh.
03:45Shh, shh.
03:46Shh, shh.
03:48Shh, shh.
03:49Shh, shh, shh.

05:20Frostbite starts at the very end of our extremities and works backwards, that marks above the knuckle
05:26Benny was wearing a ring and he was allergic to it
05:28Blue skin, especially around his mouth and fingernails
05:32That could just be the cold, but it might be cyanosis, lack of oxygen
05:36Opiate overdose?
05:37It's possible it was freezing cold last night, but look 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, can I ask, what are you doing here?
06:03Am I a suspect?
06:05Sorry, it's a force of habit
06:07I was doing what I do every morning before work
06:11Visiting my mom
06:17Hi, Mommy
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? Is he here a lot?
06:30Don't know, I've never met him
06:34Did Benny have a personal care worker?
06:37Yes, Gia Frank, she's off today
06:39Okay, well we're going to need her number
06:41We'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
06:56You don't find that strange?
06:58Not at all
06:58The lives of senior citizens are lonelier and sadder than the public cares to know
07:03Was Benny an opiate addict?
07:05The file here says he had a prescription for buprenorphine
07:08Benny had medication for a chronic back pain
07:10It was bad, he 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
07:20Any stories of negligence surrounding a care home
07:23Well, they seem to snowball in the press
07:26So, Mrs. Malboff
07:28Your best look right now is your complete and total cooperation with this investigation
07:36T-T-T-Tia
07:39That's cute
07:40Straight for voicemail
07:50Bateman
07:54Remember who you are
07:57An affirmation?
07:59He was reading Mole Flanders
08:00It's a story about repentance
08:02Maybe remember who you are is a sign of a guilty conscience
08:07Could be a threat from Benny's killer
08:10It's a lipstick
08:11So, perhaps it belongs to the elusive geos?
08:15Well, let's get a car on our missing care worker
08:17And in the meantime, let's you and I deliver the bad news in person
08:22Find out why Dr. Andrew Donohue wasn't visiting his dad
08:30Doctor, excuse me, I'm Detective 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 Donohue, passed away this morning
08:45You're joking?
08:47My father died nine years ago
08:54Doctor, do you recognize this man?
08:57Never seen him before in my life
08:58So, this is not Benjamin Donohue?
09:01No
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
09:17Mm-hmm
09:19Solid gold
09:20Where'd you get it?
09:21Friend gave it to me
09:24I'm just gonna go grab my loop
09:26Okay
09:40So, uh, how much 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 Donohue, 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
10:08I think Benny was a smoker trying to quit nicotine patch, although strangely his lungs were clear
10:16And detective, you were right
10:17The discoloration around his pinky finger is most likely a reaction to the nickel used to fortify a 24-karat
10:24gold ring
10:25Do you have a cause of death?
10:26Cause of death is hypothermia, but the massive amount of buprenorphine in his system didn't help
10:32Well, that many opiates in his system
10:34Then he wouldn't have made a peep
10:36Also
10:37Oh, the blue fingernails
10:38No
10:39Fingerprints
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
10:48Because everything the retirement home has on him is fake
10:51Well, hunch at the neck, tennis elbow
10:55Maybe he worked with his hands
10:57Who are you, Benny?
11:03Well, uniforms have a 20 on Gia
11:09I didn't steal anything
11:11No?
11:12Is that because of your religion?
11:15Um, no
11:15Why?
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
11:26We know that Benny was suffering from neurofibromatosis
11:30A, uh, genetic condition
11:31Often seen in Ashkenazi Jews
11:33He gave it to me
11:35I was good to him
11:36He wanted to think
11:38Think me
11:39What about the ring, Gia?
11:41Was that a gift, too?
11:42God, I don't have his stupid ring
11:45Where were you last night?
11:46Between midnight and 4am
11:47Booty call
11:48Chad something
11:49You can check my bumble
11:51Yeah, you seem real beat up to learn that Benny died
11:54Kinda comes with the job
11:55Like dementia?
11:57When did you know he had it?
12:01Dementia, that, that wasn't in his chart
12:03Well, it wouldn't be, would it?
12:05The symptoms had just started
12:06That's why he asked to borrow your lipstick
12:08So he could write
12:09Remember who you are
12:11On his mirror
12:12And that's why he wore the nicotine patch
12:14To stave off memory loss
12:16Benny wanted to stay lucid
12:17Okay, there may have been some signs
12:20We're getting somewhere
12:22Look, some people lose their memory
12:24Other 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
12:32And how he once pinked a job from the Lucky
12:36For some guy, George Chuffalo, Chuffalo
12:38George Chavalo?
12:40The boxer
12:40I guess
12:41So that's why he lasted so long against Allah
12:45Ali
12:46Muhammad Ali
12:47Maple Leaf Gardens, 1966
12:48Look, I don't know if any of it was true
12:50But he was always very entertaining
12:52Mm-hmm
12:52Okay, Gia
12:54Where's the ring?
12:55I threw it out
12:56Honest
12:57I tried to sell it at the Sherburn 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?
13:09It was heavy?
13:10Any distinguishing features?
13:12Markings?
13:13Yeah, actually, it had a carving of a bull on it
13:15Wasn'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?
13:24Pink to job means he made a suit with great care
13:28Hunch on the neck
13:29Tennis elbow
13:31Benny was a tailor
13:32Yeah, maybe the lucky was a shop
13:38Yeah, Tom Ford as we live and breathe
13:40Who?
13:41Tom Ford, the, uh, tailor? Designer?
13:44I thought he was the guy who made cars
13:45No, that's me, Henry
13:47What's your name?
13:49Joey
13:49Joey
13:50Joey, you ever seen this man before?
13:53Nah
13:53Nah
13:54Well, we're gonna need a record of employment
13:56A pay stub
13:57Maybe a number so we can call your boss
13:59Come 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
14:04Don't burn the place down
14:06Mama sounds like a direct quote
14:08Okay
14:08Cool
14:09It's cool
14:10Tell me Joey, just, just between us
14:13Where in the store are you not allowed to go?
14:24Back up?
14:27Good talking
14:37Look at that Judy, the 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
15:03It wasn't a ball on Benny's ring
15:06It was a cow with horns
15:07A sign of strength in Calabria
15:09You're thinking our Benny's mafia?
15:11I am
15:13Judging by his gun collection
15:16I think our Benny was a hitman
15:24Benjamin Benny Cohen, a.k.a. Benny the Gent, a.k.a. The Mensch
15:29Never married, never had any kids
15:31Gia said he used to talk about a woman named Prim
15:35Could be an ex-girlfriend, but so far we haven't found anyone with a name
15:38Yep, first Jewish hitman in the Toronto mob
15:41I've been hearing stories about Benny the Gent since I was a rookie
15:45Kind of like the boogeyman of the underworld
15:48An old commander told me once that when Benny was 20-something
15:52A mob boss refused to pay him
15:53So, Benny sneaks into the mob boss's house
15:57Puts a gun next to his sleeping son's head and pulls the trigger
16:01Boss comes running in, Benny looks at him and says
16:04That's an extra zero on the end of what you owe me
16:07How rich do you want to make me?
16:09This is exactly why it's going to be hard to narrow down a suspect
16:12Benny was a person of interest in at least 15 murders over the course of 40 years
16:17It's a lot of bad blood, a lot of underworld debt to pay
16:21But since 2015, we have nothing on Benny going
16:24Find out which of our guys has eyes on the Calabrian Mafia
16:28And see if they can narrow down who exactly would want this man dead
16:34I mean, as far as we know, Benny stopped working for the mob 9, 10 years ago
16:39Nobody's hiring a hitman in a wheelchair
16:41Detective Novak, if you were to take a wild guess
16:44Which one of these guys would want Benny dead after all these years?
16:49None of them
16:49That's the thing, they're all getting old, they're moving to Florida
16:52Calabrians have been very quiet lately
16:54You know, it's unlike the Mafia to bear a grudge
16:56Sure
16:57But Benny, Benny's freelance
16:58He worked for all four leaders of the Calabrian Mafia in Toronto
17:02You think your answer's up there?
17:04You have to talk to all those guys
17:07But, here's a word to the wise
17:09No one's going to admit to even knowing Benny
17:11And let alone employing him
17:15You want one of the big boys to talk?
17:16You need to prove he had a solid connection to Benny
17:19And I mean concrete
17:21That's not going to be easy
17:23This is why criminals love Canada
17:25We are one of the most opaque jurisdictions in the world
17:28When it comes to identifying the president of a company
17:30Numbered company, owned by numbered company
17:32Another title search, another ghost
17:34All we need is a connection to Benny
17:37If we can find any kind of payment
17:39We can cross-reference it with mob-style killings at the same time
17:42Okay, but without a clear paper trail
17:44I won't be able to tell which family paid what
17:46We need to put names to 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 or you wanted to talk
18:01I'm here, okay?
18:02You know that, right?
18:05It's dementia
18:06Early onset
18:07Oh god, Mark, I'm so sorry
18:09It just happened so quickly
18:11One day she's living an independent life
18:13The next she's stuck in the middle of the 4-on-1
18:15Because she can't remember how to drive
18:16Geez
18:17Geez
18:18How's she doing now?
18:20She's forgotten most of the basics
18:22Names, dates
18:23Doesn't even remember me half the time
18:25A brother and I compete with each other to try to get her to say our names
18:28He sings her ABBA
18:30I bring her Baskin Robbins pralines and cream
18:33Once in a while she remembers us
18:34Says, thank you baby
18:36Or I love you Mark
18:39Makes everything worth it
18:41Hey
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
18:50$10,000 deposited monthly going back years
18:54Last deposit was a week ago
18:55Depositor?
18:56Yeah
18:57Numbered company, surprise surprise
18:59No name attached
19:01It was briefly set up at 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 Dario Galati
19:12A.k.a. Il Machilayo
19:16The butcher
19:17His signature dish was flaying people who betrayed him
19:20Dario used his numbered company to keep Benny's payments off his books
19:24Why would Dario be sending monthly payments if Benny was retired?
19:28Maybe Dario got sick of paying for a hitman who couldn't hit anymore
19:31Especially one with an occipital lobe that was turning him into a chatty Cathy
19:36Hey buddy
19:38You better get your story straight
19:39Homicide is sniffing around
19:56You put it up like this with your right hand this hand you turn it toward you
19:59And with your left hand you turn it away from you, alright?
20:05Detectives?
20:05You could have called, I would have answered
20:07Ah, we saw that the shop was open, took the chance you'd be here, I'm a little peckish
20:11So, uh, the murder police show up unannounced
20:14While I'm working with my family with a line down the block
20:18You know, people that, uh, start thinking the wrong thing
20:20What would the wrong thing be? That a baker used to be a butcher?
20:24Il Machilayo
20:26Sofia Belezza, come with you
20:32So what can I do for you?
20:34Look, Dario, we understand your need for the sweet old man act
20:38But it's not for us
20:39We know who you are
20:39And that ring on your pinky says it loud and clear
20:42We just wanna know where you were the night that Benny Cohen was murdered
20:47So you know who I am, huh?
20:50If that were true, you'd know that Benny and me, we were like brothers
20:54Well, Cain and Abel were brothers
20:57Well, if Abel saved Cain's life, then things would have turned out different for them
21:02Not so Benny saved your life
21:05Matter of fact, he did
21:06Ten years ago, I had a home invasion
21:08These two lowlifes tied up me and my son, Mateo
21:11And they robbed us
21:12And when they figured out who I was
21:14They couldn't risk leaving you alive
21:16Exactly
21:17And if Benny hadn't shown up exactly when he did
21:21So I have nothing but love for that man
21:24So much so that I pulled strings
21:27And I paid to put him in a private care home
21:30When he couldn't walk properly anymore
21:32Well, you also paid him ten grand a month for the last ten years
21:36The numbered company that paid Benny was connected to a building that your son sold
21:41My son is a real estate agent
21:42He has nothing to do with my business
21:46Nothing
21:47When was the last time you saw Benny?
21:49Did you ever visit him in his suite?
21:50I don't remember
21:51You don't remember?
21:52Oh, that's an interesting choice of words
21:54Considering Benny was suffering from dementia
21:57Benny had dementia?
21:59Yeah
21:59And you know what?
22:00We heard it was starting to make him a little bit talkative
22:02I don't know, maybe you had some secrets with him that you wouldn't want spilled
22:08I didn't know that Benny had dementia
22:12It's kind of good that he went the way he did
22:14It was probably a kindness of God
22:15It would have killed us to watch him go through that
22:18Enough to take matters into your own hands?
22:22The night Benny died, I was at the Mount Dennis Legion
22:27Charity poker game
22:28You know what?
22:30Here
22:31Enjoy him on your way out
22:34Well, his grief seemed real, but I once knew a mob guy who swore he never beat his wife
22:40Even when I found him standing over in a dead body
22:42Yeah, well, empty visitor's log has a mob written all over it
22:47Still begs the question though
22:49Who else was left off?
22:52So you're still saying that Benny had no visitors for an entire year?
22:56I showed you the visitor's log
22:58Okay, see that's the thing about being married to the mob, Charlotte
23:01It makes down the truth a little harder, doesn't it?
23:04Mob boss shows up with his best friend, tells you to look after him
23:08Well, I bet you're gonna do what he says
23:12Now we get it, these are scary people
23:14But you, you're on a tight ship, huh?
23:17Hey
23:18Look at that, jealous
23:21So where are the names?
23:23To be clear, all I did was agree to keep the log empty
23:26Okay, so who do we not know about?
23:29A few weeks ago my assistant didn't get the memo about not entering Benny's visitors
23:35She entered a name into the log, I arrived and
23:38Deleted it
23:40What was the name?
23:42I don't remember the last name, but the first name's Ethan
23:46So no Ethan's associated with mob hits in the 90s
23:51And nothing in the aughts or the teens, nothing in Hamilton, nothing in Montreal
23:59What about civilian murders? Maybe this wasn't connected to a mob hit
24:07Okay
24:07Okay
24:09Oh
24:11Uh, not exactly a civilian, but
24:15Narcotics officer, Vincent O'Hagan, was murdered on Lake Simcoe
24:19A case file says that Benny was briefly suspect due to the gun that was used
24:23But then it got attributed to a string of B and E's, but
24:27Survived by his wife Angela O'Hagan and his son Ethan O'Hagan
24:33Okay, Ethan O'Hagan works in corrections as a social worker
24:36So we got the son of a slain police officer
24:41Working with hardened criminals, his father's death unsolved
24:44Well, maybe Ethan hoped to find out who killed his father by working with the only people in the world
24:49who would know
24:51Other killers
24:52Maybe he finally found the right suspect
25:04So Ethan, who told you that Benny Cohen killed your father?
25:08Benny who?
25:09Benny who?
25:10Your father was a cop
25:11He was murdered at a fishing cabin on Lake Simcoe
25:16Wasn't even on the job just trying to relax, catch a few carp
25:19It was a senseless, awful murder
25:21And you wanted revenge
25:23I said I don't know any Benny
25:24Well, the staff at Gracewood Manor said that you visited Benny in his suite three weeks ago
25:30Do you want to keep playing this game?
25:36One thing I've learned on the job
25:39Cellmates talk
25:39One of them squawked, huh?
25:42You've been doing this job, what, five years?
25:44That's a lot of dangerous men you talk to
25:47Did you ask them all?
25:48Wouldn't you?
25:50You thought you could find out who killed your father?
25:52Sure, he was your hero
25:53It became an obsession
25:54You wanted justice
25:56Hero?
25:57Right
25:57He was a decorated officer
25:59Look
26:01Everything you're saying is true
26:03Yes, I wanted to find my father's killer
26:04And yes, I planned to kill him when I did
26:09So?
26:11Ethan?
26:13Did you?
26:15I couldn't
26:17I went to see Benny at the home
26:19I confronted him about everything
26:22It was so weird
26:23Benny didn't duck from it
26:25He admitted to killing my father
26:27He was regretful
26:30Atoning even
26:31He told me things about my father I never knew
26:33Like what?
26:35Like the fact that my dad was on the mafia payroll
26:38Excuse me?
26:40Yeah, I uh
26:42I threw up after Benny told me that one
26:46But after I thought about it, it all made sense
26:48My dad had been taking money from the Galati family
26:51Since he graduated from police college
26:53Ethan, did Benny tell you why the mob wanted your father dead?
26:58You ever hear of some stash house that got held up back in 2010?
27:01Yeah, James 10 Towers, a masked assailant
27:04Took down three Calabrian soldiers and two innocent bystanders
27:08One of them a six year old kid
27:11Who was my father?
27:17Apparently dad felt he wasn't being paid enough
27:21So, uh
27:24He decided to get himself a little cash bonus before Christmas
27:29I spent my whole life trying to get justice for a good man that, um
27:36Well, he never existed
27:39Who was Vincent O'Hagan's partner when he was killed?
27:43Ethan knew we were coming, maybe he still has a contact in the force
27:49Jesus
27:55Okay
27:58God gave him one face, he gave himself another
28:08What can I get you Detective Novak?
28:10Uh, is your, is your husband here?
28:12No
28:13Oh
28:14Can I give him a message?
28:15Yeah, sure
28:16I just wanted to say how sorry I was to hear about Benny Cohen, really
28:20Benny was a good man
28:21Knew how to keep his mouth shut
28:22At least until recently I heard he was getting a little sloppy
28:26You wanna get to the point?
28:27Sure
28:28If Benny happened to mention anything to you or your husband about me
28:31I suggest you just forget it
28:32Or at least, keep it to yourselves
28:36There are plenty more folders where that came from
28:52I'm gonna get the question
28:52You gotta get the question
28:53You gotta get the question
28:53You gotta get the question
28:53I'm up
28:53Walsh, come on
28:54You gotta pass the ball sometime
28:55I'm up
28:58Hawkins
28:59It's all you
29:00Don't let me down
29:02Hey, Joe
29:04Detectives
29:05Any news on Benny Cohen?
29:06Ah, Ethan O'Hagan
29:07Son of your former partner
29:10Vincent
29:10But, uh, Benny killed Vincent.
29:15Eason found out and wanted revenge.
29:18He?
29:19Yes.
29:20There's no way.
29:21You and Vincent were partners for, what, eight years?
29:24Were we close?
29:25Come on, guys.
29:27Your partner's your family.
29:28So how'd it feel when Eason told you Benny had killed your family?
29:32It was 15 years ago.
29:35Wounds heal.
29:36Look, you guys are done trying to, trying to shake me down for Benny Cohn's murder.
29:40I'm just going to get back to my game.
29:42Wounds heal.
29:43Well, I would say that.
29:46Wounds heal.
29:48This wasn't about revenge, Bateman.
29:51No, we were wrong.
29:53This was about betrayal.
29:55You knew Benny was the first suspect.
29:57And you also knew your partner was on the take, didn't you?
30:00The question is, when did you find out he was dirty?
30:03Before or after?
30:05Detective Sam?
30:05If somebody murdered my partner, it'd take 500 years for my wounds to heal.
30:10But you seem awfully copacetic.
30:13Copacetic with maybe a little tinge of guilt?
30:16What are you suggesting?
30:17Well, officially, Vincent was on sick leave, you know?
30:20But he was actually in hiding, wasn't he?
30:22The fishing cabin where he was killed, like Simcoe.
30:25That cabin was owned by your old captain.
30:28You all had access to it.
30:29Vincent's murder was attributed to a string of B&Es, so we stopped looking at the mob.
30:34Because you made sure that that happened.
30:36Right, Novak?
30:37Because you couldn't have anyone asking how Benny knew where Vincent was.
30:41Because Vincent didn't tell anybody, not even his wife.
30:44No.
30:45The partners?
30:47Partners always know more than the wives.
30:49Okay, look.
30:49This, this is insane.
30:50Benny Cohen knew your deepest, darkest secret, and we believe you killed him, so he wouldn't share it.
30:57No.
30:58No.
30:59For 15 years, for 15 years, I never touched that guy.
31:04I didn't have to.
31:05What do you mean?
31:07Look, just to be clear, I'm not saying that I gave up my partner that night.
31:10Listen, this is, this is all hypothetical, right?
31:15Sure.
31:16Okay.
31:19Hypothetically, let's say someone very frightening does threaten your wife and your children,
31:26and all you need to do is give them an address, a dirty cop goes down, and your family stays
31:35safe.
31:36Right?
31:38Let's say you are terrified, and let's say that you do it.
31:43It all goes down, you wake up the next morning, and your wife brings you pancakes.
31:47And then she tells you a funny story about leaving the key in the lock overnight.
31:52Again.
31:54And then you realize, and you are never going to be safe.
31:59Not without insurance.
32:03So you got insurance.
32:05You tracked Benny, you followed him, and you got a secret on him.
32:09Come on, Novak.
32:10It's over.
32:11Benny's dead.
32:13You want to tell us a secret?
32:15I guess it doesn't matter anymore.
32:20Benny Cohen was having an affair.
32:23With Rose Galati.
32:25Dario Galati's wife.
32:27And I got pictures to prove it.
32:36Rose Galati and Benny Cohen.
32:39These were Novak's insurance policy.
32:41Yes, they were.
32:42Let me get it straight.
32:43Uh, Vincent O'Hagan robs a mob stash house, kills five people.
32:48The mob hires Benny Cohen to retaliate.
32:52Benny threatens Vincent's partner to find out Vincent's location,
32:56and Novak gives it up.
32:59Cop served up to the mob by his partner?
33:02Huh.
33:04This is going to be a garbage fire.
33:05It's a dirty cop who killed a kid at a stash house robbery.
33:09I can't hear the difference.
33:10I'm just saying, look, I kind of feel for Novak.
33:12I mean, look, if somebody threatened my kid,
33:17I don't know what I would do.
33:19But Novak is not admitting to anything just yet.
33:21But it won't take much to prove now that we know.
33:24Okay, leave it with me.
33:25I need to start making some calls.
33:27God, it's going to be a long night.
33:29Theo, please, if you can, stay and talk this through with me.
33:33Of course.
33:34I was thrilled to get out of that dinner.
33:37We need to find Benny's killer now.
33:39I need to be able to assure my bosses that no more police were corrupted in the making of this
33:44movie.
33:45Well, Dario Galati, our suspect number one.
33:48Mafia have a code.
33:49You fool around with the boss's wife, you die.
33:52More than that, Dario trusted Benny as if he was his own blood.
33:56Gave him a ring that would normally only go to a made man.
33:59It wasn't just a gift.
34:00It was a show of loyalty, an act of love.
34:04Now, imagine that outsider, the one that you've treated like a brother, has been sleeping with your wife for your
34:10entire marriage.
34:11Fought by Benny.
34:12Do we know where Dario was that night?
34:14No, by his rock salad, but he's the boss.
34:16They seldom want blood on their hands.
34:19Great, we're back to the button, man.
34:21Who is the new Benny in the Calabrian mob?
34:24You don't worry, we're on it.
34:25Good.
34:26I want this over.
34:35Thank you for the ride, my love.
34:37It's fine.
34:38I know you don't like driving.
34:39Uh, Mateo, before Benny died, did you talk at all?
34:44Did he say anything strange or out of the ordinary?
34:48What do you mean?
34:49I don't know.
34:50I'm just wondering what he was thinking.
34:53The day before, he asked me to come visit him, but I didn't have time.
35:01I feel bad now.
35:04Don't feel bad.
35:05Benny wouldn't want that.
35:09Grazie, amore.
35:11Marco, the ghost, Moretti, Luca, Lucky, Ferraro.
35:15Why do these sound so improbable?
35:16Because it doesn't line up.
35:19Well, I meant their names, but, uh, what are you talking about?
35:23Benny's death.
35:24You know, if we're right about the motives, then this was personal.
35:30This wasn't about business or, uh, rivalry or greed.
35:34This was betrayal of a Shakespearean proportion.
35:39You think Dario did it himself?
35:41It was too personal not to.
35:42Maybe, except, uh, Il Machilayo, I mean, pushing an old man out in the cold to freeze to death.
35:48Oh, it's a little tame for a man who's known for flaying people.
35:54You know, it almost looks like the work of a civilian.
36:00Like a son, maybe?
36:01Yeah, but I thought Mateo wasn't following in his father's footsteps.
36:04Yeah, except Benny was sleeping with his mother, humiliating his father.
36:08Maybe that was enough to bring him back home.
36:12Pull him back in?
36:13As you can see, the old owners didn't like cheap things.
36:17And there's nothing cheap about this view.
36:20Or these floors.
36:22These babies.
36:22Blonde maple.
36:24Hand-milled.
36:25That's very good.
36:26He likes to show off.
36:28I do.
36:29Especially this little guy.
36:31Do you mind?
36:33Why don't you go check out the wine cellar?
36:35I'll be down in a second.
36:39Detective?
36:40I'm not sure if you've heard, but I don't bake.
36:43Maybe not, but what you did, assault a man when you were 15 for insulting your father, was it?
36:49And on the night that Benny Cohen died, your car was a block away from Gracewood Manor.
36:58Seems Orwell was right.
37:00Big brother is watching.
37:01Well, he can watch what he likes, because I was home asleep that night.
37:04So, your car just wandered off?
37:08Benny saved my life.
37:09He was like an uncle to me.
37:11And I've seen that trick before.
37:12You've been playing it on my family for years.
37:14Get a new one.
37:14That photo is real.
37:16So, we could get a warrant for the GPS to corroborate it, or you could just...
37:20Tell us the truth.
37:21Save everyone a lot of trouble.
37:23I was home, I swear to you.
37:25I'm gonna tell you, wait.
37:26Did Benny tell you something before he died?
37:28Did he try to pull you aside, maybe?
37:30No.
37:31No, why does everyone keep 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, what's going on?
37:47Well, the kid just showed his hand.
37:51We're closed.
37:52Well, we're not here for the Grissini, as delicious as they are.
37:55Mom, you almost ready to head home?
37:58If you're looking for Dario, he's not...
37:59We're not here for Dario, either.
38:01We'd like to talk to you and your son.
38:03Well, let's hope for all our sakes that this conversation ends before your husband arrives.
38:11Ah, there he is.
38:13Prodigal son.
38:15I told you this afternoon.
38:17Talk to my lawyer.
38:18We will.
38:19We just want to clear a few things up first.
38:21Yeah, I find baking an interesting choice up front for organized crime.
38:26Hmm?
38:28Bread.
38:30Manna.
38:32Food from the gods.
38:34All made possible by a reaction of yeast.
38:38Feeding on sugar.
38:39A fungus.
38:40Getting rich off the sweet.
38:42Off the innocent.
38:44Carnage in history.
38:46Created by something as simple as mixing flour with water.
38:53You see, baking has a recipe, and the mafia has a code.
38:58Strict rules of loyalty and retribution.
39:01And if those rules aren't followed as closely as a recipe, well, it's mayhem.
39:06But I can't help but notice that brown mark on your hand, Mateo.
39:10My hand?
39:10Yeah, you have another one on your neck.
39:12Probably have a few more on your chest.
39:13Might want to see a doctor.
39:15I did.
39:15They said they're just birthmarks.
39:16Well, that's because she didn't know that one of your parents had neurofibromatosis.
39:22It's passed down from a parent to a child.
39:25Detectives, please.
39:26My parents don't have that.
39:27Ma?
39:30Is that what Benny had?
39:32It's why I had trouble walking.
39:33He had a tumor in his spine.
39:35Ma?
39:36What are you saying?
39:38I think you know what she's saying, Mateo.
39:41Maybe you've always known it deep down that Benny is your biological father.
39:49And you, Prim.
39:51Prim Rose.
39:52The girl that Benny could never stop pining for.
39:55You know, when I found out that Benny had been drugged, I assumed the killer was just wanting to keep
40:01him quiet.
40:02But it was really an act of kindness, wasn't it, Mateo?
40:05You knew Benny had to go before Dario found out the truth.
40:09Because loose lips, they sink ships.
40:12But even so, you didn't want Benny to suffer.
40:14Because you loved him, didn't you?
40:16Like only a son can.
40:18What?
40:19No!
40:20Your car was a block away from Gracewood the night that Benny was killed.
40:23You can't account for your whereabouts on that night, and now, look at that, we have motive.
40:27No, please.
40:28I think it's about time we call your lawyer.
40:29No, Mateo wasn't driving his car that night.
40:32I was.
40:39I took it out of the driveway.
40:40He has nothing to do with this.
40:41Mateo, please go.
40:42Wait in the front, all right?
40:43I'm not going anywhere.
40:44Please, someone explain to me, what is going on?
40:47Benny was saying things.
40:50Secret things.
40:52Things that if Dario found out.
40:54Dario would have to honor the code and kill his beloved friend in the most gruesome way possible.
41:00If Benny knew what he was doing, betraying the promises we made to each other, he would have done it
41:04himself.
41:05You don't know that.
41:08You can't know what was in his mind.
41:11No one can.
41:12And dementia or not, these people are still in there.
41:15They still appreciate kindness.
41:17They still feel love.
41:19So what?
41:20Let him be butchered?
41:22When you work for my husband, he puts a card in your hand and lights it on fire.
41:28And says, as this card burns, so will you burn alive if you betray me.
41:34And he means it.
41:35So you tell me, what was I supposed to do?
41:38Let my son be burnt alive?
41:40Let him see his mother die?
41:42Let my husband torture Benny to death?
41:44No, so you just left him out in the cold and was dead.
41:48It wasn't like that.
41:50No?
41:52I went by his side.
41:55I played her favorite song.
41:58Poured him his favorite scotch and made it so that he wouldn't feel pain.
42:06And I held his hand.
42:08As long as I could.
42:10Before I died.
42:16What I did was a mercy.
42:20And maybe so.
42:21But it was also murder.
42:25Please, detective.
42:26Let my mother go, okay?
42:27Take me.
42:28We'll say that it was an argument.
42:30A debt that Benny couldn't pay.
42:31We'll say that I did it.
42:32If my father finds out about this.
42:34If your father finds out what?
42:36What's going on here?
42:37Dad.
42:39Yamalini.
42:40Let's go outside.
42:40Let them finish up.
42:41Yeah.
42:42What's going on here, Ross?
42:58What do you think Dario's gonna do now that he knows who Mateo really is?
43:02He'll stick with the code?
43:03Destroy his own son?
43:05I hope not.
43:06Codes, vows, words.
43:09And there's one thing you learn on the job is that everything can be broken.
43:46That's why I live in the job.
43:50I'll show you.
43:51See you next time.
43:53Bye.
43:54Bye.
43:54Bye.
43:55Bye.
43:55Bye.
