TVTranscript
00:00The following program is rated 14+, and contains scenes of violence, coarse language, and mature themes. Viewer discretion is
00:07advised.
00:15In Toronto's war on crime, the worst offenders are pursued by the detectives of the Specialized Criminal Investigations Unit. These
00:23are their stories.
00:35Gold Rush, 1930s. You know who got rich?
00:38The guys who found gold?
00:40Sure, but also the guys who sold them the picks and shovels. I'm doing both, Arlene.
00:46Big talk, Daniel. You got a minute? I need a word.
00:49Later. We're about to talk.
00:56First off, I want to thank my partner, Nick, my assistant, Ravi, and my beautiful wife, Sophie, for putting this
01:02afternoon together.
01:03You know, Sophie walked into my life eight months ago, and I'm here to tell all of you that Lennon
01:10and McCartney were absolutely right.
01:12All you need is love.
01:14Okay, fine. Love and a few million dollars, am I right?
01:18And on that note, I want to thank all of you, my VIP clients.
01:22I know it's a turbulent time in the market, but I'm here to assure you that not only is your
01:27money safe with me, it's growing exponentially.
01:31So keep the faith. Let's raise the glass. Cheers to success and to Biggerplex.
01:40Come on. You want out now, right before you get rich?
01:44Depends, Nick. How rich am I gonna get?
01:46How rich do you want, Arlene? You want a champagne fountain? Private Island in Muskoka? A little four-seater Cessna
01:51to get you there in style?
01:53That's just well off. I came to you and your partner for real money.
01:57Come on, Nick. The market is tanking. Everyone's running, and my clients are extremely concerned.
02:01I haven't seen a statement in months, and I can't get a straight answer out of Daniel.
02:06Ravi, you're Daniel's assistant. You know him better than anyone. How are you feeling?
02:10I have complete faith in Daniel. See? Ravi is feeling perfectly fine. Daniel is on it, all right?
02:17The man's a genius. He's got nerves of steel, so I suggest you find yours.
02:24Dude, I called you six times this week. Fair. I should have called you back.
02:28What am I doing in crypto, man? It's probably not even real money.
02:32Hell yeah, it's real. It's getting realer every day. I'm making some bold moves with my friend.
02:37What's that supposed to mean?
02:38Just that when it comes to making money, it's better to ask for forgiveness than for permission.
02:44I know it's just a drop in the bucket, Johnny. But it's one hell of a bucket. I just need
02:49a little more time.
02:56Hey, Soph, where the hell is Daniel? There is only so much charm one man can exude.
03:09Hey, you okay? I'm fine. I just need a minute.
03:15Good, because you gotta get back out there, my man. Do your thing.
03:18Did you forget to take your meds?
03:20No.
03:21Okay, let's get you sorted.
03:24Sophie, what is happening?
03:26Get back to your party and give us a minute.
03:33Could you cover for me?
03:36I just need to lie down for a bit. Get everybody back on the boat.
03:40I'll be fine as soon as we get home.
03:43Good as new.
03:46Okay.
03:48Soph, I love you.
03:52I know.
03:54I love you, too.
04:14Soph?
04:16Hello?
04:43What if so?
04:48Mm-hmm.
04:49Who, man?
04:49What if so?
04:50Ooh.
05:07What if so?
05:10Oh, man.
05:11But, we're close.
05:12Come on, let's not haveuard and lamplified self-stop 두뇌� about it.
05:12재밌 access and social Straßen stay with us.
05:33Detective Graff, Detective Bateman, your wife is standing by to talk to you.
05:37Wife is the last person to see him?
05:39She says he left him here around 8 p.m.
05:41Went back to round up the other guests to sail home.
05:44Hiding from his own party, that's my kind of guy.
05:47She said he was feeling sick.
05:51Ulcer?
05:52Wife gave him a couple pills, he took them.
05:54Said he wanted to lie down for a bit.
05:56She didn't notice he was gone till they docked.
05:58Any sign of a body?
05:59Still looking.
06:00Focus on the west side, I don't know why.
06:02Sunnyside, Marie Curtis Beach.
06:04It's obvious, it's Lake Ontario.
06:06The currents move counterclockwise.
06:07It's the Coriolis effect.
06:09Right, obvious.
06:12Hey, forensics is on standby, but we didn't do a deep dive.
06:14Wholeness has orders.
06:16We were waiting for the better suit squad.
06:19Well, we're here.
06:25All got pretty beat up.
06:27Must have been bashed around in the storm last night.
06:30There was a storm last night?
06:31Yeah, I watched it come in.
06:334 a.m.
06:34Classic popcorn convection.
06:36Yeah, single cell.
06:37Didn't last.
06:38Heavy winds, though.
06:41Well, it's all a bit of a knot there.
06:45Apart from the cell phone, there's no signs of a struggle.
06:48No scratch marks on the railing, no scuff marks on the deck.
06:52The guy wasn't dragged, nor was he fighting back.
06:54So maybe he jumped?
06:56Would you jump from here?
06:58Sure.
06:59Yeah?
07:00I don't know, but I'm a terrible swimmer.
07:05Daniel's been around boats his whole life.
07:07Phil, turn up.
07:08Mrs. Siddiqui, we live in hell.
07:11In the meantime, can you tell us if Daniel had anything else to eat or drink last night besides the
07:15pills?
07:16No.
07:16He never eats when he's nervous.
07:18He had a bunch of champagne, though.
07:19He loves it.
07:20Drinks it like water.
07:21And yes, okay, that's probably why his ulcer was bugging him.
07:25It's a day planner.
07:27Pretty analog for a tech guy.
07:29Yeah, he's old school about his private information.
07:31If it's not on a computer, it can't be hacked.
07:33That's fair enough.
07:35Graph here still uses a file of facts from 2010.
07:40What about the boat?
07:41Do you own it?
07:41No, but Daniel does.
07:43Why?
07:43Well, private yacht, champagne on tap.
07:46I guess business is booming.
07:48Okay, if you have questions about Bigaplex, you're going to have to talk to Nick.
07:52Daniel's partner.
07:58Guys, I really can't.
07:59Not right now.
07:59Our clients are freaking out.
08:00I guess I heard about...
08:01Take two.
08:03From Graph and Bateman, we're with the TPT.
08:05And you're Bigaplex, a cryptocurrency investment fund, correct?
08:08How long have you been in business?
08:09About a year now.
08:11We have about 180 clients.
08:12And how much money is in the company?
08:13About 250, 300 million.
08:14The lobby directory says you guys have the entire floor.
08:18But I'm only seeing a few desks.
08:20Our analysts and consultants are equipped there.
08:22Sir, you can't go back to...
08:23Robbie, try calling Sophie again and I need Daniel's laptop now.
08:26We have Daniel's laptop at the station.
08:30We're going through it now.
08:31Perhaps you can say this is the problem.
08:33I'm very grateful you're here.
08:37You're welcome to look through anything you want.
08:3813th century.
08:40Genghis Khan.
08:41Mongolia.
08:42He's fighting the Namans, right?
08:44Totally outnumbered.
08:45So he orders his soldiers to light five campfires each.
08:49The enemy's fooled.
08:50They think they're facing an army five times bigger than it actually is.
08:53So lay high, Taylor.
08:54And it's all just theater.
08:56He doesn't think you have other employees.
08:59He thinks you're trying to look bigger than you are.
09:01Well, he's right.
09:02No one's going to trust three guys and a couple of desks.
09:04We've got to look like we're expanding.
09:05So you're a grower, not a shower?
09:07Either way, you're dealing with major players and 300 million dollars.
09:11So tell me, Nick.
09:12Where's the money kept?
09:14That's an excellent question.
09:15According to our banker, the Bigaplex account is currently empty.
09:27There should be a key code for Daniel's private account.
09:30He likes to play it a little fast and loose, but he's not a thief.
09:33What do you mean by fast and loose?
09:34Well, he'll occasionally invest clients' money in riskier funds to increase profits.
09:39Obviously.
09:40Carpe opportunitatum, that's what he calls it.
09:42Seize the opportunity.
09:43Are you saying that he's doing it without their knowledge?
09:46No, please.
09:46They've all signed agreements.
09:47No, please.
09:48Let me guess.
09:48They're 80 pages long and nobody reads them?
09:50Hey, when did you meet Daniel?
09:51A couple of years ago, I was hosting a party.
09:54We got to talking.
09:55Super smart guy.
09:56I like the way you talk.
09:571245-1309.
09:59That's no phone number, no address.
10:01Maybe this is the key code to Daniel's private account?
10:04No, that's way too short.
10:06I've got Arlene Cox online, too.
10:08She sounds upset.
10:10Excuse me.
10:15Graf.
10:18Cicada Air.
10:19They run chartered flights out of the island airport.
10:21I'm starting to think that Daniel Siddiqui jumped off that boat and swam to a private
10:25plane with $300 million of his client's money.
10:29I agree with Bateman.
10:30Dollars to donuts.
10:31Daniel Siddiqui got on a private jet, flew to Mexico and is having plastic surgery as we
10:36speak.
10:36And oh, is his wife ever going to be pissed?
10:39Unless, of course, she's joining up with him later when the smoke clears.
10:42Okay, but why pull that kind of a stunt at a party, right?
10:45We've got 50 potential witnesses.
10:47Any which one of them could have seen him go over the side.
10:50No, no, no.
10:51If you're going to fake your own death, you do it on a business trip to Thailand or you
10:55go out on a sunrise paddleboard and never come back.
10:58Graf, if you're still thinking murder, then find me a body.
11:02Island Control just said no private planes left last night.
11:06There were two Thursday, but none last night or this morning.
11:09Inspector Holness, are you still searching the west side?
11:12Yeah, something about the currents.
11:13Well, it's the Coriolis effect, obviously.
11:15That flash storm at 4 a.m., now it came in from the south.
11:19It's possible that the gyre could have shifted clockwise for an hour or so and switched back.
11:26Yeah, let's go east.
11:28Search the bluffs.
11:29Cherry Beach, Woodbine.
11:30I take it you want me to call it in?
11:33I do, ma'am.
11:401245-1309.
11:42There's no way there are knots or nautical miles.
11:45No, it's the wrong format.
11:47Take it you were never a boy scout.
11:48I'm not a big joiner of organized cheer.
11:53Maybe it's military time.
11:55What was Daniel doing yesterday before the party?
12:05Well, 1245, apparently not much.
12:09Screw it.
12:09Let's follow the money.
12:15Where's my money, Nick?
12:17I just need a little more time.
12:19Right?
12:20Without Daniel, I'm at a bit of a loss.
12:22I don't care about Daniel.
12:23I care about the $20 million of Volkov money that I put into your fund.
12:28And I will find it.
12:30All right?
12:31You must have just moved it into a private account.
12:34I just need to find the key.
12:35If you don't have the key, talk to Ravi.
12:36He knows everything.
12:37Or the wife.
12:38She sure as hell has it.
12:39I wouldn't know.
12:41All right?
12:42She's not answering my calls.
12:44Well, then call harder.
12:46I'm serious.
12:48If I don't get my money back with sufficient interest, I will burn you to the ground.
12:56Daniel's been siphoning all the client money into his own private vault.
12:59Let me guess.
12:59We need a key to access it.
13:00Yep.
13:0164 letters and numbers randomly generated, virtually impossible to memorize.
13:05It's typically stored on a USB or an external hard drive.
13:08Unless you're Daniel.
13:09Judging by his day planner, I bet he wrote it down somewhere.
13:11It's harder to hack, right?
13:12If he died with the key.
13:14Money's gone forever.
13:15Hundreds of clients wiped out, savings gone, lives ruined.
13:19Man, this jackass better be drinking in my time, Panama, right now.
13:22Because if he's not already dead, somebody's definitely going to kill him.
13:24Yep.
13:27Okay.
13:28We'll be right there.
13:33Got a call to search the beach.
13:34At first, I thought it was just some, I don't know, floating garbage.
13:38I'm sorry.
13:39That sounded really weird.
13:41Well, I don't see any Mai Tais.
13:44Agreed.
13:48All I see is a dead body.
13:51$300 million floating in the wind.
14:00Daniel Siddiqui had enough pentobarbital in his body to kill a horse.
14:03So he was poisoned?
14:05Technically, he drowned.
14:06I mean, he would have died anyway.
14:08But he was alive when he went into the water.
14:10We can tell from his lungs, bulky, saturated.
14:13He aspirated water into his lungs in an effort to breathe.
14:16We call it wet drowning.
14:17A little redundant, huh?
14:19Either way, he was drugged first.
14:22Guy also had one of the worst gastric ulcers I've ever laid eyes on.
14:25It's amazing he wasn't leaking through his shirt.
14:27Might be why he was hurting that night.
14:30Pento's usually painless, but with an ulcer like that, not a good combination.
14:34Could the pentobarbital have been in his ulcer meds?
14:37No.
14:37Meds were clean.
14:38Someone must have put it in one of his many glasses of champagne.
14:41Guy slurped it right down.
14:42No head trauma?
14:43Injuries from a struggle?
14:45No, but he did have two rib fractures.
14:48From, what, banging around in Lake Ontario?
14:50I heard there was a hell of a storm.
14:52No.
14:53These are probably four weeks old, already healing.
14:55Might be nothing.
14:56And not there, as you'd caught.
14:58Come on, Da Silva.
15:00Not there's never nothing.
15:04Daniel Siddiqui was poisoned, either on the boat or at the party.
15:08Somewhere last night, he drank a glass of champagne laced with pentobarbital.
15:11Felt like garbage and went over the side of his boat.
15:13Did he fall off?
15:15Was he pushed?
15:15We don't know yet.
15:16Well, we need to figure it out, because it turns out I know at least six people with money in
15:20Biggerplex,
15:21including my half-brother, Junior.
15:24Dumbass put his entire life savings into that fund.
15:27Daniel Siddiqui siphoned $300 million out of his company.
15:31Wasn't returning phone calls, wasn't answering questions.
15:33And the money's gone, so he either lost it or he stole it.
15:36And somebody figured it out.
15:38They got hot, they got angry, they wanted revenge.
15:40No, whoever did this isn't coming in hot.
15:43Pento-barbital, it's pretty much the cleanest way to die.
15:47Doctors use it for assisted death.
15:49It's painless, bloodless.
15:51It's premeditated.
15:52It's the opposite of hot.
15:53It's cool.
15:54Pento's also very hard to get.
15:56Whoever did this was planning it well in advance.
15:59Then allow me to state the obvious.
16:01The wife, Sophie Siddiqui?
16:03She had access.
16:05She had means.
16:06She had motive.
16:07Daniel's house alone is probably worth $8 million.
16:09The woman's a knockout.
16:10She used to be an actress.
16:11She's had four last names already.
16:13There's no way she went after this nerd without a plan.
16:36She's had a lot of fun.
16:46Come on.
16:50911, what's your emergency?
16:52Yes, I...
16:56Ma'am, are you there?
17:00Ma'am, what's your emergency, ma'am?
17:05Yes, I'm sorry. Everything's fine. It must have been my kid. Teenagers, you know?
17:15Look, I don't know Sophie very well.
17:17Okay, she's been in the picture maybe eight months.
17:18How did Daniel meet her?
17:20You know the normal way? Bumble, Binge, one of those?
17:23Normal? Was Sophie involved in the business in any way, giving directives, cashing checks?
17:29Did she have her own money invested in the company?
17:31Ma, don't. Don't. Don't. Please. Please.
17:34Don't tell me how to feel, Ravi. I'm sorry about your boss. I really am.
17:38But I'm more sorry for you and me.
17:42Mrs. Singh, how much money do you have invested in Biggerplex?
17:45Everything I've had. Everything.
17:47I love my son, but I don't know what he does or what he did.
17:51Ma, please stop talking, alright? I was trying to do right by us.
17:54I'm gonna... Ma.
17:57Trying to do right by, what, getting revenge on your boss?
18:00I mean, look, if my boss lost my family's entire savings, I'd be pretty upset.
18:03No. Daniel was a genius with this stuff. He wouldn't screw me over.
18:06We just had to be patient.
18:08What about that day on the boat? You saw nothing. Nothing of interest.
18:13I mean, a few clients were stressed out, but...
18:16Daniel was playing it cool. As long as Sophie was pouring the champagne, he was just gonna ride it out.
18:22I'm telling you, everyone loved Daniel. No one would've hurt him.
18:26And yet he was murdered.
18:28Ma'am, the pathologist tells us that Daniel had two broken ribs.
18:32Injury happened about a month ago. Do you remember anything about that?
18:36Yeah. Um...
18:37We were up north in Muskoka. He took the day to go cycling. He hit the gravel. He fell.
18:43And were you with him at the time?
18:44No. When he got home, I tried to take him to the hospital, but he said he was fine.
18:49He said, um, they heal on their own.
18:53Thank you. It's very helpful.
18:57Would you mind if I take a look around for a bit? It's a beautiful house, by the way.
19:02Stunning. That's a, uh, Jean-Pierre LaFrance, right?
19:06Yeah, I think so. Why?
19:08Well, if it is, uh, LaFrance, the gallery would've installed it themselves, but it's, uh, it's upside down. May I?
19:20I imagine you're, uh, you're gonna stay on here, right?
19:24I understand you're the sole beneficiary of Daniel's estate.
19:30Sole beneficiary of what, exactly?
19:32Daniel owes millions of dollars to his clients. Everything he has, we have, will be sold to pay them off.
19:42This house, the cottage, the boat, both cars, probably that stupid painting, and that's fine.
19:47That's how it should be, but that's all we have, so.
19:52I take it you don't receive support from your first husband anymore?
19:55Excuse me?
19:56You are in your fourth last name.
19:58Is that a question?
20:01Yes, I suppose it is.
20:03I started out as Sophie Evans. Dad's last name. He was an asshole.
20:08So I took my mom's maiden name.
20:10But I was trying to be an actor, and there were four Sophie Greens already.
20:13Then I got married to my first husband, became Sophie Shitsman.
20:17Not a name I'd wish for anyone.
20:19Then I met Daniel, and Sophie Siddiqui seemed good.
20:26It seemed really, really good to me.
20:31What happened with your first husband?
20:36I cheated on him.
20:38I was working bottle service for private parties.
20:42The promoter was exciting. My husband was a jerk.
20:47Have you never made a mistake? Have you never just lost your mind?
20:52I was trying to sell my mind.
20:55What happened with my friend?
20:57I don't think I would have to buy her every single child.
20:58It's just your house.
20:58Yeah.
21:20Sophie Evans Green Schittsman Siddiqui is definitely hiding something.
21:24Agreed. That house had been tossed. Or she'd torn it apart looking for something in that sharps container you found.
21:29All those needles inside. Most efficient way to get pentobarbital out of a vial and into a drink.
21:35Okay, but it's also a way to get fertility hormones out of a vial and into your system.
21:39Not everybody's as lucky as me getting pregnant on a second date.
21:42That's true. You know, well, that turned out.
21:44You joking?
21:46I don't know. The dad was a bust, but you got a great kid out of it.
21:49Yeah. Okay. So, nursery in progress.
21:52Prenatal vitamins in the kitchen.
21:54Let's say Sophie Siddiqui is pregnant.
21:56And if she's not, she sure wants to be.
22:00Mark, where are we at with Daniel's phone?
22:01I'm in. I'm just moving some stuff around.
22:06Okay. All right.
22:07No caller ID. That guy can triangulate the number. I just need a minute.
22:12Hello?
22:13Yeah. Hey. Tyler here from Filmworks. Your card got declined. We're not going to hold your room any longer.
22:24A guy called a couple of days ago. Daniel Siddiqui. Booked a specific room for today.
22:29Said he needed it by noon latest. But when I ran his credit card through this morning, it came up
22:34declined.
22:34And now it's almost five o'clock and no one showed up yet.
22:37It happens when people die.
22:40Did he say anything else? Why he wanted a specific room or was he meeting anyone?
22:44I didn't ask. But he did tell me to give a key to a Maria when she showed up.
22:49Maria who?
22:50Didn't give a last name.
22:531245 1309.
22:54Excuse me?
22:561245 appointment. I'm guessing you had Mr. Siddiqui booked in the room 1309.
23:04Now Daniel could have bought out a whole floor at the Ritz. What's he doing in a dump like this?
23:09Well, no offense, Tyler.
23:11None taken.
23:14He was meeting a woman in the middle of the day. He probably didn't want to be recognized.
23:19If Sophie knew about this, it certainly gives her motive.
23:23Sure does.
23:24Wow.
23:26Daniel Siddiqui.
23:27There's not much of a newlywed.
23:29I guess I thought that...
23:32I don't know what I thought.
23:33That's so sweet. You thought Daniel and Sophie were in love?
23:37Don't say it.
23:39I'm gonna say it.
23:40Cops don't get to be romantics and you of all people should know that.
23:51Ravi, I'm not talking to any clients until I speak with my lawyer.
24:02Sophie, you still there?
24:06Can I help you?
24:08423, cliffside.
24:10That's next door. To your left.
24:12Oh, sorry.
24:15Sophie, everything okay?
24:17Yeah. Yeah. Everything's fine. No, just tell the lawyer I'll be there in 20.
24:28Sophie! Sophie!
24:39Traumatic brain injury, fractured collarbone, she's still pretty drugged up.
24:44And we were right, Sophie is eight weeks pregnant.
24:47How's the baby?
24:48Well, that'll depend on what happens to Sophie.
24:51Okay, any leads on the car?
24:53We're checking tire tracks and paint chips.
24:55All we know for now is that it was a blue car and it's gonna be damaged.
24:57It's all so messy.
24:59It was a hit and run. You want it to be neat?
25:02Just saying, the whole attack on the widow, it's nothing like Daniel's murder.
25:06The pentobarbital was bloodless, clean, neat.
25:09This is reckless, angry, stupid.
25:13Maybe our killer's planet's starting to unravel.
25:16He's losing the threat, he's getting messy.
25:18Or maybe we have two different killers.
25:20Okay, but Sophie's not dead.
25:21Well, maybe the driver didn't intend to kill Sophie.
25:24Maybe he wanted something from her, wanted to scare her, intimidate her.
25:28All these maybes, and why do you keep saying he?
25:30This could be your mystery lady, Motel Maria, the other woman trying to knock off the wife, get closer to
25:36Daniel's money.
25:37Hang on, Bateman. Who else goes for intimidation?
25:41Organized crime.
25:43Wouldn't be the first time they sent a violent message.
25:46Like two cracked rents?
25:50Da Silva dated Daniel's rib injury to the week of June 14th.
25:53Now, he was up at his cottage in Muskoka the entire time.
25:57Except his agenda says that he came back to the city to have lunch with his most valuable client, Arlene
26:03Cox.
26:07Ms. Cox, how much do you have invested in Bigaplex?
26:10Not big on foreplay, huh?
26:17That was one of my Taiwanese clients. He has 200,000 invested in Bigaplex. It's money. Yeah, probably about your
26:28salary's worth, maybe more, but I'm sorry, it's not exactly big money.
26:32Agreed. You're not going to some guy's Tilly Hat boat party for 200,000.
26:39Oh, Zolota Dracona. I think this particular bottle came with a flask made from a vintage radiator.
26:48The rich, am I right?
26:51Oh, the rumors are true. It's actually bulletproof.
26:56You know, last I heard, each one of these was worth over a million dollars.
27:03Your point?
27:03My point is you got way more skin in this game. My point is that you're not just working for
27:08some nice Taiwanese millionaire, no.
27:11You're playing in the big leagues. You gotta be working for the Russians and probably the Volkovs.
27:15Because they're the only ones rich and stupid enough to hand those things out as party favors.
27:21Then you know what I'm dealing with. Do you know how bad this is for me right now?
27:25That money has to be somewhere, and Nick has no idea, so it has to be with the wife.
27:29Yeah, so you run her over with your car.
27:31What?
27:32No, no, she wouldn't do that. If she wanted something out of Daniel's wife, she'd book a lunch meeting and
27:37show up with an enforcer.
27:39And you'd probably have broken two of her ribs.
27:44I did have a lunch meeting set with Daniel last month, and Volkov sent along one of his guys.
27:50But I was uncomfortable, so I left.
27:54But I did hear that there was some unpleasantness.
27:58But I'm telling you, as intense as Volkov is, he's all strategy.
28:04So you're saying that these thugs aren't gonna get rid of their golden goose through his wife, unless they know
28:09where their money's at.
28:10I'm saying you need to look at the smaller fish. The ones who can't afford to be strategic.
28:16Yeah, sure.
28:18I was pissed.
28:19I gave Daniel half my salary to invest, and the man wasn't returning my calls.
28:23So the day he died, did you threaten him?
28:25I laid hands on him.
28:26I was angry.
28:27Then he gave me 50,000 in cash, said it was just a drop in the bucket.
28:31Mr. James, did you get a sense that Daniel Siddiqui was doing something illegal with your money?
28:35Not illegal. Maybe a little risky.
28:37Hey, I barely understood the man in the first place, and then he starts talking Latin.
28:41Like, Latin literally?
28:43I don't know, man. Maybe Italian. I'm not a linguist. It was carpe something. Option? Seize the, uh...
28:51Carpe opportunitatum. Seize the opportunity.
28:57Daniel's words to live by.
28:59Or die by.
29:02These just came in from Chapleton University.
29:06All four years Daniel was a student there.
29:09Now, not sure what we're looking for, but there are a lot of bad hairdos.
29:13Founding principles. Life models. They often form when we're young.
29:17Carpe diem, semper fi, and vino veritas.
29:20The young people love the Latin. It makes them feel smart.
29:23Right, so it's not Daniel's get-rich-quick scheme. It's carpe opportunitatum.
29:27Exactly. Better branding, right?
29:29Yeah. You know who else loves the Latin?
29:33Fraternities.
29:38Okay, so Daniel adopted the motto from his fraternity. What else are we looking for?
29:45Wow. Pizza Palooza Brew Bash. That is joining at its...
29:49worst. And that is Daniel and Nick.
29:53They've been pals since University.
29:54Mmm.
29:55Only, he wasn't Nick Millwood back then.
29:58He was Mikolaj Mielinowski.
30:02Okay, so why would Mikolaj lie to us about how and when he met Daniel?
30:09Nick Millwood. New name but a very old rap sheet.
30:13Do we have assault? Fraud? Fraud? Fraud again?
30:16It looks like Mikolaj Mielinowski was a career con man starting all the way back in university.
30:21We just got an email from Guelph Regional Police.
30:24Turns out Nick's arrest in 2004 involved an identity theft ring he was running out of his dorm.
30:29He served 45 days, had to leave school.
30:31That's the same year that he and Daniel were photographed all buddy-buddy at that frat party.
30:36Exactly. I mean, Daniel had to have known Nick was crooked.
30:39Of course he did. That's why we're here.
30:43So, Nick moves on, changes his name, scrubs his history clean.
30:47But he knows, we all know, that it's never really clean.
30:50So, he approaches his old pal Daniel with his Bigaplex scheme.
30:54Together they agree on a revised history of how they met.
30:57Daniel becomes the squeaky clean face of Bigaplex with no known ties to a con man.
31:02Yeah, the question is, is Daniel Nick's partner or is Mark?
31:06So, Forrester, the wife woke up.
31:08Any news on the car you used in the hit and run?
31:10No, we found it abandoned. No prints have been indicates it was stolen.
31:13Okay, so what are we thinking?
31:14Daniel's partner, Nick Millwood, formerly known as Mikolaj Mielinowski.
31:18A known fraudster with a criminal record.
31:20Even with the name change, he's gonna have a hard time becoming the trusted face of an investment fund.
31:24So, he teams up with his university buddy, Daniel Siddiqui,
31:27and together they dress up an old-fashioned Ponzi scheme in new-age crypto clothing.
31:32Yeah, they tell their clients they're investing in cryptocurrency.
31:34Meanwhile, Daniel siphons money off into a private account.
31:37They're planning to divvy it up and run.
31:38Yeah, but Nick gets greedy. Why settle for half?
31:41So, he wipes out Daniel and keeps the $300 million for himself.
31:44Okay, but that's where it falls apart.
31:46As far as I can tell, Nick Millwood is still running around town in a flap, not a quarter billion
31:50richer.
31:50If he had the money, he'd have taken off by now.
31:52Well, no, not necessarily. You could be waiting for everything to die down.
31:56The longer you wait, the more eyes are on it, including yours.
31:59If you're gonna pull this kind of scam, you're gonna do it fast.
32:03Come on, Frankie.
32:04I'm a crown attorney. You know that's not enough.
32:07Being a fraudster doesn't make you a killer.
32:10Look, I'm into it in theory. You're just a little thin on motive.
32:13You bring me proof that Nick off this guy, or even some indication that he's got $300 million stashed somewhere,
32:18we can start talking.
32:26She's just had her meds. She'll be in and out for a bit.
32:28Oh, that's fine. I just want to say hello.
32:49What are you doing here?
32:52So, do we have a name yet?
32:55Please. Please leave me alone. Please just leave me alone.
33:01Oh, wow. I am surprised you're still wearing it.
33:06That must be worth 50k. You could have added it to the pile.
33:10Nick, I told you. I have no idea where the money is.
33:13Those acting classes really paid off.
33:17I mean, before, you couldn't get work as an extra, but now,
33:24you played us both beautifully.
33:27You must be very proud of yourself.
33:28Ma'am?
33:32Here.
33:51Who the hell is Maria?
33:53And why was Daniel meeting her at a dime bag hotel on the sly?
33:58I mean, even a one-night stand deserves better than that joint.
34:01I'm looking into Nick's finances.
34:03His landlady in 2017 was a Mariana Pereira, owned a duplex in Little Italy.
34:09He worked in 2021 for the notorious Martina Lucky as a party promoter.
34:14Maybe it's Martina, not Maria?
34:17Okay.
34:19He is power of attorney for his 89-year-old uncle Merrick,
34:23currently in residence at Rivera Living.
34:24No. Yeah, no. Interesting.
34:282021, Martina Lucky.
34:30Didn't you say Sophie Siddiqui worked bottle service for fancy parties?
34:34She cheated on her first husband with one of the promoters?
34:39Well, Ms. Lucky just confirmed it.
34:42Nick Millwood worked for her as a promoter for four months in 2021,
34:45the exact same time Sophie was working bottle service.
34:48She was married, but they were hot and heavy the entire time.
34:51And who said romance is dead?
34:55Yes.
34:56Daniel knew about me and Nick.
34:58I told him about two months into it when I realized
35:01that I was actually falling in love with him.
35:03Nick's whole planet started to feel so...
35:06dirty.
35:08I couldn't live with that lie between us.
35:11How did Daniel take it?
35:13He was hurt.
35:15Really hurt.
35:16But I don't know.
35:18We, um...
35:19We got through it.
35:20Stronger even.
35:22From that point forward, we told each other everything.
35:26Everything?
35:32When did Nick find out you and Daniel were having a baby together?
35:36I don't know.
35:39Maybe yesterday when he broke into the house?
35:42I stopped answering his calls.
35:44I thought maybe he'd realize that this whole thing was so insane.
35:47I mean...
35:48My God.
35:51Everyone was making money.
35:52Daniel and I were good.
35:54But who's Maria?
35:56And why was your husband supposed to be meeting her at a seedy hotel the day after he died?
36:01Daniel had called her anonymously.
36:03He was gonna tell her everything.
36:05He wanted to pay his clients back and try to make a deal.
36:08Inspector Maria Bruno.
36:10She's had a fraud.
36:14What are you doing?
36:15Ravi, how about you do me a favor?
36:16You go downstairs, you put your head in front of a streetcar, alright?
36:18Nick, you need to take a beat.
36:19Do I?
36:20Cause I'm not sure taking a beat is gonna help me right now.
36:22I know what you're looking for, okay?
36:24We're looking for it too.
36:26Detective, how can I help you?
36:28The dead man switch?
36:29The key to the castle.
36:31I'm not sure what you mean.
36:32We know that crypto companies often store their money in Bitcoin.
36:35A private virtual vault.
36:36We also know that if the owner dies or goes missing,
36:39then the partner or staff or next of kin usually receives a code to access that money.
36:44Now, I'm surprised Daniel didn't give you that code.
36:48Before he died, that must hurt.
36:50He gave it to me.
36:51Alright, it's right here.
36:53It just doesn't work.
36:54Wow.
36:55That's gonna be frustrating.
36:57Frustrating?
36:58Yeah, it's frustrating.
37:01You know, if Daniel wasn't stupid,
37:05I mean, he wouldn't have just let that money vanish into thin air.
37:09Maybe I can help you find it.
37:11You know, two minds are better than one, right?
37:20The key code has to be here somewhere.
37:23It's all so sad.
37:24Did you know Sophie's eight weeks pregnant?
37:36Looks like Daniel was excited about it.
37:42Here's Sophie.
37:44Our future starts with Dylan.
37:46Here's Daniel.
37:49Good name, Dylan.
37:50Gender neutral.
37:52Homage to a few great poets.
37:54I wonder how that made you feel.
37:55Jealous maybe?
37:56Betrayed?
37:57Certainly angry enough to run her over in a stolen car.
38:00Although I suppose that's what you get when you throw your own girlfriend into the mix.
38:05Still pretty bold, though.
38:07Even for a career con man.
38:09You know what? It's been a rough week.
38:10I don't need this right now.
38:12You're not even curious?
38:14I mean, he's about to give you his theory.
38:16I thought you might want to stick around.
38:19Knowledge is power, right?
38:22Yeah.
38:23Yeah, sure. Why not?
38:25Let's hear your story.
38:27I'm assuming you stole a pentobarbital from your 89-year-old uncle.
38:31His medical file suggests he has chronic insomnia, poor thing.
38:35Excuse me?
38:36You know, you're right. I'm getting ahead of myself.
38:39It's rude.
38:40Let's take it back.
38:43It was a dark and stormy night.
38:45Okay, I'm done.
38:46Wait, fine, fine, fine.
38:48You met Daniel at university, frat brothers, carpe opportunitatum.
38:52You were a 19-year-old con man and Daniel was a tech wizard.
38:55So cut to last year when you have a brand new idea, but you need a partner without a criminal
39:00record to make it work.
39:02Classic Ponzi scheme, shrouded in crypto-mumbo-jumbo.
39:06You and Daniel are going to collect the fortune and siphon it all into a private account and take off
39:11when the time is right. Are you with me?
39:12Oh, yeah. I've always enjoyed fiction.
39:14Yeah, well, here's the thing about stories. They always need a few twists.
39:19Twist one. You were always going to get rid of Daniel. Screw Daniel. You're going to take it all.
39:25So that's why you get your girlfriend to meet Daniel on Hinge. She's going to keep you in the loop.
39:29She's your inside man, or woman in this case. And when the time comes to run, she's going to run
39:35with you.
39:36But here's the thing you didn't know and couldn't have planned on. Daniel and Sophie fall in love.
39:43And together they share everything, including the truth of how and why they met.
39:48Yet in spite of this inauspicious beginning, they decide to make it work, stay together, and have a baby.
39:56Take a look around. They succeeded. What a beautiful life.
40:02Too bad he's not around to enjoy it.
40:04You know, funny you say that because Daniel was planning to enjoy it.
40:08Once he met Sophie, Daniel wasn't going to take the money and run.
40:13No, he was going to stay put and build a family.
40:18In fact, he was supposed to be meeting the head of the fraud this week.
40:22He was going to cut a deal and turn you in.
40:26Must hurt. You thought Daniel was your mark, but it turns out you were his.
40:34Huh.
40:36It's very creative. I mean, an absurdly skewed version of the facts with absolutely no proof, but, uh, I'd read
40:43your first novel.
40:44Wait, wait, wait. You don't want to hear the final twist? The kill switch? The key to the castle?
40:50Well, Daniel just gave it to us.
40:53Daniel's dead.
40:54Huh? Come on. Is he?
40:58He's fooled you before.
41:02Give me your phone. I'll type it into the Big Plex wallet.
41:13Wow. That's wild. I mean, what if Daniel is still alive? Protected hospital room, recovering from that night on the
41:22boat, waiting to be reunited with Sophie, cooperating with the police.
41:26No, he's dead. It was on the news. It was in all the newspapers.
41:30It wouldn't be the first time the press cooperated with the police.
41:33Right? Those guys don't do anything for an exclusive.
41:38The money's all there.
41:41Plus about, what, $400,000?
41:44My God, all of your clients are gonna get their money back and then some, and Sophie and the baby
41:48are gonna be fine.
41:51Graff, we should call Daniel, you know, let him know that Nick's up to speed.
41:54No, no, no, no, no. He...
41:56He went over the side of the boat. I... I watched him. He's not...
42:01He's not alive.
42:05Tell me he's not alive, you son of a bitch!
42:12Nick, I'll tell you anything if it gets me to the truth.
42:18He's not alive.
42:19Tell me he's not alive! He's not alive!
42:35The key code. How did you know where to find it?
42:40Seriously?
42:43How do you know where it starts? It could start there, or there, or there...
42:47Daniel loves Sophie, right?
42:49He was smart, and she's just as smart. He knew if anything happened to him, she'd figure it out.
42:55Dearest Sophie, our future starts with Dylan.
43:04Dylan.
43:064-B-N-9-2.
43:11It's amazing, hey?
43:14In life, Daniel was a con man. In death, he's practically Robin Hood.
43:19Yeah, don't quote me on this, but, uh, I hear it's the only thing stronger than hate.
43:24Or greed, for that matter.
43:27What's that?
43:29Love.
43:30Love.
43:41Love.
