00:05In Toronto's War on Crime, the worst offenders are pursued by the detectives of the Specialized Criminal Investigations Unit.
00:12These are their stories.
00:16All right. I'm just going to need your signature here and here, and that should do it.
00:26This isn't a big mistake, right?
00:27I'm going to let you in on a little secret, Melissa. There are no mistakes in Toronto real estate.
00:34He's not wrong.
00:35Nothing can be bought that can't be sold again. How to mark up.
00:38Right. And if I just want a good home.
00:41Listen, it's nerve-wracking. I get it. All this gobbledygook.
00:46But it's a great little home. You're going to be very happy there.
00:51Mr. Henning, tell her, how often do we get homebuyers having last-minute jitters?
00:56First time?
00:57Mm-hmm.
00:58Well, then I would be worried if you weren't nervous.
01:07And that covers it. How do you feel, Paul?
01:10I mean, yeah. Good. A lot of good memories here. But a new chapter awaits.
01:15Japan. That's exciting.
01:17When you think about going back...
01:18As soon as this is finalized. It won't be much longer now, right?
01:21No inspections, no conditions.
01:23The fund should be released by tomorrow.
01:26Oh, excuse me.
01:31Samantha Morgan?
01:33I don't know.
01:37I don't know.
01:37I don't know.
01:38I don't know.
01:38I don't know.
01:39I don't know.
01:40I don't know.
01:41I don't know.
01:41I don't know.
01:41I don't know.
01:44I don't know.
01:45I don't know.
01:46I don't know.
01:47I don't know.
01:48I don't know.
01:49I don't know.
01:49I don't know.
01:49I don't know.
01:50I don't know.
01:54I don't know.
01:55I don't know.
01:57I don't know.
01:59I don't know.
02:01I don't know.
02:04Yeah.
02:06Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, wait, wait.
02:10How's that even possible?
02:13You checked yourself?
02:18Yeah.
02:19Leave it with me.
02:57Oh, hey, I'm sorry to bother you.
02:59You wouldn't happen to have a flashlight on your cell phone, would you?
03:03I dropped my keys.
03:04I mean, I'm sure they're in the brush here somewhere.
03:07Oh, yeah, sure.
03:08You wouldn't mind? Thanks a lot.
03:10I'll say.
03:11Paul?
03:13Have we met?
03:14Paul Phillips.
03:14The same Paul Phillips that lives over on Alton Drive.
03:17Yeah, but I'm sorry.
03:19How do you know my name?
03:20I'm drawing a blank.
03:21I bet you are.
03:38Oh, my God.
03:43Guys!
03:43Guys!
03:44Guys!
03:44Guys!
03:48Guys!
05:19Watch your jewelry, nondescript clothes, neutral color, shoes off the rack.
05:26Blake's sleep.
05:28His fingerprints aren't in the system and there's no match to missing persons.
05:31Doesn't come home last night, doesn't show up for work this morning.
05:34Nobody's missing this guy.
05:35Apparently not.
05:36Empty pockets, no car keys, no phone, no wallet, nothing.
05:39Simple mugging, cleaned him out.
05:41Oh, with the mugging, you take the wallet and run.
05:43You don't drag the guy into the woods.
05:44Well, I'd say you don't have much to go on, but this is nothing to go on.
05:49Report on your John Doe.
05:51Nothing much to write home about.
05:53That's on brand.
05:53But there is this.
05:58Black molars.
05:59That's silver diamine fluoride.
06:01Correct.
06:02Topical treatment for tooth decay and alternative to drilling.
06:06Stains the teeth.
06:07So, our John Doe didn't want to get cavities, so that's not exactly a lead.
06:11I hate to break it to you, but I see some canvassing in your future.
06:14Get a digital rendering made and go talk to the public.
06:18The public.
06:25Take a close look.
06:27Yeah.
06:28Yeah, he came in last night.
06:31So you've seen him before.
06:32No, but he tipped big, stuck around to eat, and said he just cashed in his chips.
06:39There.
06:40May I?
06:43Okay, 9.42 p.m.
06:49No calls, no texting, just dining alone.
06:52I don't know, fried chicken and zidoku looks pretty good to me.
06:57Hey, look at that.
06:58The pen.
07:00Right there.
07:02He just throws it in the trash with everything else, but...
07:09He came in with it, see?
07:12Maybe there's a logo on it.
07:14Now it's a reach, but it's something.
07:15This path leads us to a dumpster full of old chicken, doesn't it?
07:18You're in luck.
07:19It was late.
07:20I already emptied the trash, so anything you tossed is still in the can.
07:24Could we borrow a pizza box?
07:29Talkin' to the public garbage search?
07:32This guy's starting to bother me.
07:34Come on, you love it.
07:39Oh, God.
07:43Hey.
07:45There we go.
07:48Samantha Morgan Wingrove Realty.
07:51Well, it's not nothing.
07:57I mean, it's Paul.
07:59Why?
07:59What's happened?
08:00And how do you know him?
08:01I sold this house for him.
08:02I'm actually here grabbing my staging materials.
08:05He cashed in his chips.
08:07Excuse me?
08:08Is he okay?
08:09I'm afraid he was found dead this morning.
08:12What?
08:13What on earth happened?
08:14We don't actually have a lot of details right now, but maybe you can help.
08:17This image is a rendering.
08:19Do you happen to have anything that could help us confirm that we're talking about the same person?
08:24I mean, that's him.
08:25I'm 100% sure that's him.
08:27Hold on.
08:36Yeah, that's our guy.
08:38Do you mind if I hang on to this?
08:39No, of course.
08:40Thanks.
08:45I'm sorry.
08:46I'm just a little confused here.
08:48He was on his way back to Japan.
08:50Japan?
08:51Yeah, that's where he worked.
08:52That's why he wanted to get rid of his place.
08:54He was spending most of his time there.
08:55Yeah, well, that explains why no one misses him.
08:58Are there any photos of his friends or family?
09:00Any personal items?
09:02Usually we haul that stuff out by the truckload.
09:05But we actually had to bring some tchotchkes in.
09:07Yeah, there's not much character.
09:10Did you happen to meet anyone else in his life?
09:12No.
09:13We only met a couple weeks ago.
09:14Well, that deal must have gone through pretty quick.
09:16With prices to move, he was eager to get back overseas.
09:21Thanks.
09:21Listen, everyone's slanted a line here, so I'm just curious.
09:26Will this affect the sale?
09:28I don't mean to be crass.
09:30It's not my department.
09:32Yeah, it's Detective Bateman.
09:34I was hoping you could run a name for me.
09:36Yeah, Paul Phillips, date of birth, March 23rd, 1981.
09:40Address, 227 Alton Drive.
09:42Search CPIC.
09:43Check occurrences.
09:44See what you can find on a next-to-can emergency contact.
09:48Thanks.
09:48No, the neighbors have seen this guy for months.
09:51Anything out of the ordinary lately?
09:53Oh, just the real estate people coming and going.
09:55One of the neighbors, he was so irritated.
09:58Place sold for 1.5.
10:00Under market devalues the block.
10:02Poor thing.
10:03Yeah.
10:07Okay, thank you so much.
10:09Paul Phillips has a sister in Scarlet.
10:19A Monday warrior, mean, mean stride.
10:22Today's Tom Sawyer, mean, mean pride.
10:36Though his mind is not for him
10:39Don't put him down as arrogant
10:42His reserve a quiet defense
10:44Lightening out the day's events
10:48The dark river
11:06There you go.
11:11I just can't make sense of it.
11:13We're so sorry for your loss.
11:15Who would do that to Paul?
11:17Oh, that's something we're hoping
11:18You might be able to help us figure out
11:20But first, Lydia
11:22Because of the circumstances
11:24Of your brother's death
11:25We do need to confirm his identity
11:27Is that something you're comfortable doing?
11:30Oh
11:33Oh, God
11:35Yeah
11:37Okay
11:40Chellis
11:41Second opinion
11:42What are the bruises around the stab wounds?
11:45Well, they're from the attack
11:46Looks like the murder weapon had a hilt
11:49Why?
11:50Something bothering you, detective?
11:52Only everything
12:01So, sit up in there
12:03You can take your time
12:04And we'll go in when you're ready
12:05Okay
12:05Miss Phillips
12:07Were you aware your brother was back in town?
12:09No
12:09It was weird
12:10He usually let me know when he was coming
12:12At any rate
12:13Detective Graf
12:15And we will give you a moment to yourself
12:17Because we understand this is difficult
12:19Did you know he'd sold his house?
12:20He did?
12:21Yeah, he was in a rush to get rid of it
12:23It took far less than he could have
12:25How often were you two in touch?
12:27Well, not daily
12:29But, you know, we shared the big stuff
12:31Like selling his home
12:33I would have thought so
12:34Yeah
12:35I think I'm ready to see him now
12:37It's right this way
12:39That was something else we shared
12:40We were both blind as bats
12:42Only Paul was brave enough to have the surgery
12:45He had laser surgery?
12:47Yeah
12:48The same astigmatism
12:49But Paul had his corrected
12:50Do you have a number for Paul in Japan?
12:54Yes
12:54But
12:55Aren't we going in now?
12:57Can you dial it, please?
12:59Okay
13:00I'm so sorry
13:01I'll be right back
13:04Hey
13:05What are you thinking?
13:06Stained molars
13:07The silver diamide fluoride
13:09Dentists use it
13:11When a patient has an aversion to anesthetic
13:15If he can't have anesthetic
13:17He didn't get eye surgery
13:18Well, maybe he's not a blank slate after all
13:20Paul?
13:22Lydia?
13:23You're alive!
13:24Lydia?
13:25Is everything okay?
13:27So who's in the morgue?
13:29An imposter
13:39I don't understand
13:42If that wasn't Paul Phillips
13:43Who was he?
13:44Let's start with a different question
13:46How does one sell a house they don't own?
13:48He had ID
13:50I showed him
13:50Two pieces as a requirement
13:52Which you didn't authenticate?
13:55I checked his photo
13:55I looked at his face
13:57I mean
13:58I'm not Interpol
13:59You met him two weeks ago
14:01He came to you
14:02Is that right?
14:03He saw my bus that bad
14:04Told me he was in a hurry
14:05And that I should take any reasonable offer
14:07Nothing about that seems suspicious
14:09That's a motivated seller
14:10That's music to my ears
14:12Keep everything moving so fast
14:13That nobody notices anything's off
14:15Like clearing a house
14:16Of all personal items
14:18Not a single photo or keepsake
14:20That might identify the real Paul Phillips
14:22His name was on the title
14:24Funny you should say
14:25He spelt his name wrong
14:26On the purchase agreement
14:28Used the common spelling of Phillips
14:31Two L's
14:31Rather than
14:32The one L
14:33That the real Paul Phillips used
14:35Repeats the error a few times
14:37Obviously
14:39I didn't see that
14:40Samantha
14:41Have you heard of anything like this
14:42Happened before?
14:43I mean
14:44I've heard of it
14:44But
14:45No
14:46Not to anyone I know
14:47Hey
14:47Who do you like in
14:48Financial crimes?
14:50Like
14:51Strong word
14:53Chase is alright
14:55Thank you
14:59Title theft
14:59Yeah
15:00It's a booming business
15:01It's what you get
15:02When a starter home
15:03Cost a million bucks
15:05Safeguards haven't kept up to the money
15:07And the bad guys have taken note
15:08Have a seat
15:12In this case the fraudster poses the homeowner
15:16Fake
15:16Fake ID
15:17Owner overseas
15:18Right
15:20Obviously
15:20They target vacant properties
15:22Unmowed lawns
15:23Junk mail piling up
15:25They do a title search
15:25Find out the owner's name
15:26Little bit of rudimentary identity theft
15:29And they are well on their way
15:30Here
15:31There's
15:3230 homes in the GTA
15:34In the last three years
15:35Sold or mortgaged without the owner's consent
15:37Oh jesus
15:38Was this guy involved with any of them?
15:42Uh
15:45I don't think so
15:46But that face rings a bell
15:52Move
15:54Uh
15:55There was a similar scheme in Vancouver
15:57There was a guy
15:58Who rented an apartment to 19 people at once
16:00Collected rent from all of them
16:02And then left before anyone got wise
16:04Is that him?
16:06Yeah, that's the guy
16:07Yeah, that's him
16:08Vancouver regional police never caught him
16:10But they appealed to the public
16:11And they did get a name
16:12Timothy Fox was posing as Paul Phillips, huh?
16:16Who are you working with in financial?
16:18Oh, well, Graf is a big fan of Chase
16:20So we're using her
16:21Yeah, one more day
16:22And Fox would have got away with it
16:24But luckily the house is still in escrow
16:25So the sale never went through
16:27Well, that's your angle
16:28Somebody solved that problem with a knife
16:30Yeah, most of the funds at risk
16:31Were the banks all insured
16:33However, the buyers deposit
16:34Gotta be over a hundred grand
16:36Oh, that's killing money
16:38Go meet the buyer
16:43Yeah, I've been looking for months
16:45God, I'll bid so many times
16:47Finally an offer gets accepted
16:49And then this happens
16:51It's bad luck
16:52Yeah, is it true
16:53That this imposter guy was murdered?
16:56That's what my real estate agent told me
16:58Melissa, how much money did you put down on the house?
17:01150,000
17:03That's a big number
17:04Yeah, with a big loan on top of that, I bet
17:07Um, can I ask where you work?
17:10Harborview Lounge
17:11On Wellington
17:12I'm a bartender
17:13Oh yeah?
17:14What's your favorite cocktail?
17:16Not to mix, but to drink
17:17I myself am fond of a gin ricky
17:20Well, I'm not drinking much these days
17:22Yeah, because you're pregnant
17:24Excuse me?
17:25That's why you want more living space
17:26Baby on the way
17:27And how rude do you have to be to make that leap?
17:29Oh, the leap happened earlier
17:32From this
17:34Blaster of Paris
17:37Clay powder
17:39Mounting plaque
17:40I don't see any other crafting supplies about
17:43So, uh
17:43I'm assuming it's a molding kit for a baby foot
17:47That was the leap
17:49The no drinking part
17:51Just, uh
17:53Confirmed it
17:55Or did I get it wrong?
17:58I'm four months pregnant
18:00Did your parents co-sign for the house?
18:03No, and that's none of your business
18:05What about father-to-be?
18:07Not in the picture
18:08And even less of your business
18:09Where were you two nights ago?
18:11Is he serious?
18:12Well, the man who tried to steal $150,000 from you was killed
18:15So, he's quite serious
18:19I was at work
18:20Mondays are slow
18:21So, maybe only 300 people saw me
18:23Would you like their names?
18:25Let's start with your manager's phone number
18:31You went, uh
18:32Pretty hard at her
18:34I mean, I'm not getting stabby vibes, are you?
18:36No, but she's definitely hiding something
18:38She didn't even ask if she was getting her deposit back
18:42The money's dodgy
18:43Let's follow it
18:48Yes, I was the advisor of Ms. Harbach's file
18:51Meaning you approved the loan
18:53I processed it
18:54Is there a difference?
18:55Detectives, I'm sure you understand you've got us in a spot here
18:58We can't discuss the personal finances of a client without a court order
19:02The finances of a single bartender who buys a house for $1.5 million
19:07I know it can seem opaque from the outside
19:09But the industry uses something called a GDS ratio
19:11Gross debt services
19:12The percentage of income that goes toward housing
19:15You know your stuff
19:16I do
19:16Yeah, I learned the hard way when I tried to buy in Ronci on a cop's salary
19:21But, uh, by my math
19:23To get approved for that loan
19:25Melissa Auerbach would have to be making over $200,000 a year
19:29Yeah, she's a charming lady
19:30But, uh, that's a lot of tips
19:32She had all the records to back it up
19:34Bank statements, tax returns
19:35Yep, all of it
19:37And you authenticated these?
19:38We asked for official documents and she supplied them
19:41Detectives, as the bank's manager, I have to insist
19:43Get a court order and you can look at the records yourself
19:47If you insist
19:54Someone definitely cooked the books
19:56Made the finances a peachy
19:59No one blinked
20:01What is it?
20:02Well, maybe that was Timothy Fox's mistake
20:04His con
20:05Ran into an even bigger con
20:08An imposter made to forge her in a dark alley
20:10And blood spills
20:12Maybe it's time we run a con of our own
20:14You still interested in buying a house?
20:18Have you been looking long?
20:20I just started
20:21Do I look like a deer in the headlights?
20:24You'll get the hang of it
20:25You just need some good help
20:28About that
20:28I actually don't have an agent yet
20:31And my friend Melissa recommended you
20:33Well then
20:34I mean, I'm always charming
20:36But now I'll really bore it on
20:39Is this the kind of place you're looking for?
20:41Oh, I mean, it's beautiful
20:45But, uh, I don't know
20:48See, here's the thing
20:49Our finances are a bit tricky
20:52I'm a gallery owner
20:54My husband Henry is a carpenter
20:55We're doing fine
20:56But a lot of our income is in cash
20:59Meaning it doesn't necessarily all make its way to the book
21:03So that's between you and God
21:06Okay
21:07It's just on paper
21:08We don't qualify for much of a mortgage
21:11None of my business
21:12But what you're describing
21:13I see it all the time
21:15In fact, I know someone who helps clients in your situation
21:19Like a mortgage broker?
21:20More like an advisor
21:22He'll help you organize your books
21:24Oh
21:25I mean, we don't want to do anything unethical
21:28Of course not
21:29You just want a home
21:31They'll make your payments, right?
21:33Of course
21:33Then no one gets hurt
21:38Jesse
21:39Grayson
21:41Let him do his thing
21:43You'll have the home of your dreams before you know him
21:47So what would you do?
21:48My idea for a restaurant
21:50Is vegan on one side
21:52Snout to tell meat on the other
21:53Okay, perfect
21:54Offend everyone
21:55Appeal to everyone
21:56That's the move, Dad
21:57Respect their boundaries
21:59But all together
22:00And the servers would use like a demilitarized zone down the middle
22:03Oh, Josh
22:06Who is it?
22:08Uh, it's just a colleague
22:11Why don't you head in?
22:12I'll be right there
22:12Okay
22:17What are you doing here, Grayson?
22:19What did you say to the cops?
22:21You're following me?
22:22I had to make sure you weren't getting cold feet
22:24Cold feet?
22:25I did not tell you to kill that guy
22:27I told you to take care of him
22:29I just came here so you understand the reality behind all this
22:33It's you and me now
22:36Us, Adrian
22:37You understand?
22:40I didn't say anything
22:41And I won't
22:44Just stay away from my family
22:47Later, buddy
22:54This Grayson guy
22:55Has got this pretty nice operation
22:57Doctoring people's finances
22:59Until Timothy Fox
23:00Comes along with his own scheme
23:02And threatens to blow the whole thing up
23:04Is that your theory?
23:05Yeah
23:05If Fox had managed to sell that house
23:07It would have sparked a huge investigation
23:08Once the real owner got home from Japan
23:10And that would have exposed the whole operation
23:12Yeah
23:12We're thinking Grayson killed Fox
23:14Before that could happen
23:15Nullified the sale
23:16Thinking that's the end of that
23:17Problem solved
23:18It's him
23:19We got him
23:20Location data from Grayson's phone
23:24He was at Weston Skate Park
23:26At the time of the killing
23:38Jesse Grayson
23:39Armed officers
23:39We're coming in
23:53Bring him in
24:08Alas, poor Grayson
24:17Single blow to the head
24:19That's what most likely brought him down
24:22Followed by
24:25Repeated blows
24:29Finish him off
24:31There's no doubt
24:34Killer drops the weapon
24:36And then
24:38Washes up with alcohol
24:40And hightails it out of here
24:41Not before taking the computer
24:53Forged T4
24:54Artificially aged
24:55Coffee ring and all
24:57This must be where Grayson did his work
25:00It's a good bet that all the clients
25:02Were on that hard drive
25:03One of them didn't want it found
25:05This crime scene is a mess
25:06The baton was a weapon of opportunity
25:09Came from here
25:10Grayson was prepared
25:13Yeah
25:14For a lifetime of not dating
25:17That's interesting
25:19Double-sided blade
25:20Quick jabs
25:21Bruising
25:22From the guard
25:24That's a weapon that killed Timothy Fox
25:26Could be
25:27So if Grayson killed Fox
25:30Who killed Grayson
25:33Someone didn't want Grayson's handiwork to come to light
25:35That's why they took his computer
25:36Yeah, someone with enough skin in the game
25:38To go all the way to murder
25:40Well, that tracks
25:41Grayson's services would appeal to all kinds of bad actors
25:44You can get a mortgage
25:45You can launder a million dollars
25:46In the time it takes to flip a condo
25:48Do you have his phone?
25:49I got his call history from his provider
25:51Nothing?
25:52Well, a couple of maybes
25:54Some numbered companies
25:55Some foreign owners
25:57A couple of pay-as-you-go's
25:58But nothing that connects to real estate
25:59Or criminal associates
26:01We thought somebody of your expertise
26:04Might be able to spot something we've missed
26:06How many listings are we talking about?
26:12All right, let me sit with it
26:13Well, I think we
26:14Hold on
26:25Hey, Bob, how's the treehouse coming along?
26:27The kids want a second floor
26:28And plumbing
26:30Let me know if you need help with financing
26:33Yeah, have a good night, Adrian
26:56Sorry, sorry, Tamara
26:58I had to work late
27:04And I should have called
27:07Would have been nice
27:15Hey
27:18I'm sorry
27:38You think she's okay in there?
27:40Well, I offered her food
27:41And she made a sound I didn't recognize
27:44Bateman!
27:45Graf!
27:50We were on the wrong path
27:51What do you mean?
27:52It's not one of Grayson's clients
27:54He starts the loans, yes
27:55But someone still needs to underwrite them
27:57So I looked at the land title registry
28:00And that's when I saw it
28:01The lending institutions
28:02The same ones keep coming up
28:04Over and over again
28:05And that's what Grayson's computer
28:06Would have shown you
28:07They are all getting
28:09Their dodgy financing
28:11From Hemisphere Savings and Loans
28:13So our big fish
28:15Isn't a gangster
28:17He's a banker
28:22Hot diggity dam
28:26It's a beautiful view
28:29It's a beautiful home
28:30What can I do for you?
28:32Tell me, Mr. Henning
28:35A man in your position
28:36Is your compensation tied to the performance of your branch?
28:42There is an incentive structure, yes
28:44So if branch does well
28:46You do well
28:47And it's obvious that it's doing very well
28:49I have a good team
28:51Transferred there three years ago
28:53We gelled right away
28:53But Mr. Henning, we're here because we found evidence of widespread fraud at your branch
28:59I have no idea what you're talking about
29:01No, we also have reason to believe that these crimes are connected to two murders
29:05Would you care to comment on that?
29:08I wouldn't know how
29:10I'm stunned
29:11Well, that watch, that's a rarity
29:15I haven't seen one of those nears
29:17And especially none of that vintage
29:19Would you mind if I took a closer look?
29:21He's crazy about watches
29:23Oh, sure
29:24Oh, well, it looks like someone's been playing with toxic chemicals
29:28Caught you red-handed, so to speak
29:30What?
29:31Isopropyl alcohol, maybe
29:33In pure form, it can cause skin rashes
29:35If you were to use it to clean your skin
29:38Of what?
29:40Blood, maybe?
29:41Detectives, I am a banker
29:43I use sanitizer after every hand I shake
29:46And I shake a lot of hands
29:47Now, if you wouldn't mind
29:49I would appreciate if you directed any other questions to my lawyer
29:52Mm-hmm
29:53I do
29:54But in terms of getting to work on time
29:56I wouldn't worry
29:57So we took your advice
29:59It's a copy of the search warrant that's gone to your branch
30:02So we might beat you there
30:04But either way, see you soon
30:21Irregularities all over the place
30:22Here's a student claiming $400,000 in overseas income
30:26Well, this client owns three homes
30:29On a $2.4 million borrowed occupation
30:34Hairdresser
30:35Ooh
30:36Coffee ring and all
30:37Oh, my God
30:39If you tried this at my bank
30:40They would taser you in the face
30:41And then they'd file a suspicious transaction report
30:54Adrian Henning
30:56Placing you under arrest
30:58On what charge?
31:00Today
31:00Conspiracy to commit fraud and money laundering
31:04But we'll see what tomorrow brings
31:13Mr. Grayson's network funneled dozens of fraudulent clients towards Mr. Henning's bank
31:18Where do we rubber stand for loans?
31:20Allegedly
31:22The initial audit suggests it's been happening for over a year
31:25Now, are you telling me your client
31:27Theo, I thought we were having lunch
31:29You want to talk hypotheticals, I'm all ears
31:32Otherwise
31:33Alright, okay
31:34Okay
31:38Hypothetically speaking
31:40Your client killed Jesse Grayson to hide his own criminal activity at Hemisphere Savings and Loans
31:44Mr. Henning has denied any part in that fraud
31:47And if you come at us claiming he planned to murder Jesse Grayson
31:51Traffic cams put him at the condo on the night
31:54Prints and DNA are all over the murder weapon
31:58You see cold-blooded intent
32:00Perhaps I see something else
32:03What would that be?
32:04Well, if I were to say
32:06And let's be clear, I'm not
32:07That my client knew of a dangerous man
32:11That was defrauding his bank
32:12And asked this dangerous man to stop
32:16Well, if that's your defense
32:19That man would have to be pretty dangerous
32:21For a murder charge to go away
32:24I forget who was it that brutally killed Timothy Fox with an illegal weapon
32:28Oh right, Jesse Grayson
32:31When your delusions subside, call me
32:34We'll start talking in absolutes
32:38Thanks for the shawarma
32:51Self-defense
32:53Looking that way
32:53Prince left everywhere murder weapon came from Grayson's armory
32:56Okay, but you know that just because it's not premeditated does not mean it's not intentional
33:01Yeah, all they have to do is convince the jury that Henning feared for his life
33:04If Caldwell does that, he'll walk
33:05No, no, no, Grayson was attacked from behind by surprise
33:09He had a whole arsenal of weapons, but none in hand
33:13He wasn't the aggressor
33:14Yeah, not this time
33:16Exactly
33:17That's the issue
33:18Grayson's a killer
33:19Henning at best is a family man at worst
33:21Robin Hood giving houses to the poor
33:23We need to dismantle the folk hero narrative
33:26And put the blood back on his hands
33:28Not this time
33:29What?
33:30What she said
33:32Grayson wasn't the aggressor this time
33:35This whole thing started when one fraud collided with another
33:39If Henning in any way, in any way conspired to kill the imposter
33:43His self-defense goes out the window
33:47Yeah, you connect Henning to the murder of Timothy Fox
33:50I can put him away
33:52Back to fraud number one
33:54Joy of Joyce
34:01Hey
34:04How's up?
34:06How's Josh?
34:07He's scared
34:09Adrian, these things that they're saying that you've done
34:12Make it make sense
34:14I was protecting us
34:15Don't you dare
34:17Remember the other night we were coming home from dinner
34:19And there was that guy up front of our house
34:21Do you remember that?
34:22He was threatening us tomorrow
34:23He threatened to hurt you and Josh
34:26What?
34:27I need
34:28I need you to tell him what you saw
34:31Okay?
34:34The bank's lawyers advise us not to talk to you guys
34:36Oh, don't worry
34:37You can tell the bank's lawyers that we're not here to talk about mortgage fraud
34:40We're here to talk about two dead bodies
34:41What was Adrian Henning's involvement with 227 Alton Drive?
34:46Mr. Henning kept a close tab on that file
34:48When the purchase agreement came in
34:51Something agitated him
34:52Something like a guy who couldn't spell his own last name
34:54Is it normal for him to read purchase agreements?
34:57No, he's a manager
34:58He doesn't handle customer transactions
34:59Yet here he is going over this particular file with a magnifying glass
35:03This one mattered to him
35:04Why?
35:06I don't know what to tell you
35:08You make it all sound so dirty
35:09It does sound dirty
35:10We help people buy homes
35:12People like Melissa Auerbach
35:14A bartender just trying to build a life
35:16Um, you grab
35:22Henning discovered the seller was sketchy
35:24He looked into him, found out he was an imposter
35:27Yeah, he alerted Grayson
35:28Told him to take care of it
35:30Conspiracy to commit
35:31If we can prove it
35:34Jean, excuse me, but um
35:37Henning told us that he was transferred to this branch a couple of years ago
35:40Do you know where from?
35:41Uh, Wellington Street Branch
35:43Downtown
35:43That's right across from the Harborview Lounge
35:46We know someone who works there
35:50We get all types of money guys at the bar
35:54But Adrian seemed different
35:56He was open and curious
35:59And married
36:00And he never tried to hide that
36:01We talked about it, the ups and downs
36:04We talked about everything
36:07Melissa, Adrian Henning has been accused of some very serious crimes
36:12I'm still struggling to believe that
36:13You don't think he's capable of such things?
36:17Maybe I didn't know him as well as I thought I did
36:21I know how this sounds
36:24But I'm not some deluded ex
36:26I'm not pining
36:28But our thing
36:31While it lasted
36:33I don't know
36:35Adrian inspired me to imagine a different life for myself
36:39A bigger one
36:41And I didn't need it to be real
36:43But then
36:43But then it became real
36:44You know, you got pregnant
36:46He got cold feet
36:48Yeah
36:48And you weren't about to be cast aside with nothing
36:51I wasn't looking to punish him
36:53I just wanted what he promised me
36:55What he said was in reach
36:57What was that?
37:00A home
37:08Counselor
37:10We've come across some new information
37:12And wanted to give Mr. Henning a chance to respond
37:15Why is Mrs. Henning here?
37:17Mrs. Henning has some new information as well
37:20We'd hope Forrester would be here
37:21So we could put this all to bed
37:23But
37:25Tomorrow
37:28Six nights ago
37:29Adrian, Josh and I were walking home from the restaurant
37:32And this Jesse Grayson fellow
37:35He threatened us
37:36He threatened our son Josh
37:39And he threatened to kill us all
37:41So whatever my husband did
37:43He did out of self-defense
37:47Thank you, Mrs. Henning
37:48Would you be prepared to say all that again
37:52And a court of law in front of a gallery of strangers
37:55A jury of your peers
37:57The press
37:59Yes, because it's the truth
38:02Mrs. Henning, would you mind excusing us?
38:05We have some delicate matters to discuss with your husband
38:12No, no, I'll stay
38:16We don't have any secrets
38:17Not anymore
38:21Okay, uh, no secrets
38:23Mr. Henning, who is Melissa Auerbach to you?
38:30Uh
38:32You spoke with her
38:33We did
38:35And you should know that if this case goes to trial
38:38She will be called to testify
38:40My client's relationship with Ms. Auerbach has no bearing
38:44Sometimes the least of our sins speak the loudest, Mr. Henning
38:49Less poetry, Detective
38:50When your affair with Ms. Auerbach ended
38:53You felt responsible
38:55You wanted to help her out
38:57But you could hardly buy a house for some bartender you'd knocked up
39:04Sorry, I guess you left that part out
39:07When you helped Melissa and your baby
39:11You had to do it at arm's length
39:13So you put her in touch with the man who could make that happen
39:16Grayson doctored the papers and, um, she got her mortgage
39:20You could help her with the money and it all looked clean, but bad luck
39:25Melissa tried to buy the house on Alton Drive
39:29Where the seller was an imposter
39:31You caught the con just in time
39:34And informed Grayson to, uh, take care of it
39:39I just wanted the guy to back off
39:41No, Grayson took it too far
39:43Things were spiraling
39:44Cops everywhere and your lies woven into this whole mess
39:48Maybe he didn't go to Grayson's that night to kill him
39:50I didn't
39:51Maybe you just wanted him to smarten up, shut down his operation
39:55All Grayson had to do was lay low, but not this guy
39:59No, he's a head case, a loose cannon
40:01And as long as he was alive, everything you held dear was at risk
40:06Exactly
40:07Mr. Henning feared for his life and he defended himself
40:09A decent man in a bad spot
40:11That's right
40:12Beautiful family, good job
40:14Even the mortgage stuff, that's a victimless crime, right?
40:17I mean, we're talking about real estate here
40:18Everyone's on the take
40:20You were just keeping up with the flow of traffic
40:22And that's all the jury's gonna hear, right?
40:24Except, um, it doesn't work that way anymore
40:29Melissa Auerbach changes it
40:32Make your point, detective
40:34The real victims are the point
40:37Right there in your own home
40:39Your wife tomorrow
40:40Your son, Josh
40:42You leave them out of this
40:43Well, they're right in the middle of it, Mr. Henning
40:45Because you put them there
40:47Think about every time you came home late
40:49And you saw the pain on their faces
40:51Every lie, every bad excuse
40:54I made a mistake
40:55A mistake?
40:56No, no, no, Mr. Henning, you're a cheat
40:58You cheat at work
40:59You cheat on your wife
41:00You cheat your unborn child out of a father
41:03By bribing your mistress with a house
41:06Not a home
41:08Hush money
41:10Grayson was a threat to my family
41:12A threat?
41:12Yes
41:12Well, why didn't you go to the police, huh?
41:15Sure, you've broken the law
41:16But isn't a slap on the wrist better than committing murder?
41:20I told you, Grayson went too far
41:22No, you went too far
41:23It wasn't the fake documents you were hiding
41:25It was Melissa Auerbach's name
41:27That was the reason that you wanted all of this to stay hidden forever
41:32You knew
41:34The jury wasn't going to see some benevolent Robin Hood giving houses to the poor
41:38They would see a lying banker
41:41A cheating husband
41:43They would see you bashing a fallen man's skull in until you can see his brains
41:48That's enough, detective
41:49No, that's overkill
41:51Counselor, that is intent
41:52The man was down
41:53He was not a threat anymore
41:55And if you take this to trial
41:56This all comes out
41:57And your family will have to live through that horror in public
42:01And for what, a moment of bliss to have your ego stroked by a beautiful young woman
42:07Detective Graf
42:09So how much more pain do you want them to go through, huh?
42:12I'm so sorry
42:13I'm no Theo Forrester, but let's pretend
42:17Excuse me, um, Mrs. Henning, um, but, um, how did you, uh, find out your husband was having an affair?
42:25Did he accidentally whisper it to you one night?
42:28And did he tell you she was pregnant?
42:31And what will your relationship be with your husband's love child?
42:35Welcoming?
42:37I'm taking my hands off me
42:42Please, somebody, let me, let me out
42:54I just spoke with Forrester
42:56He got a guilty plea from Adrian Henning
42:59Second degree, no trial needed
43:02I guess Henning found his heart
43:04Lori just looked at the numbers
43:09You going home, Graf?
43:12I am
43:21Hey
43:41Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,
43:49oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,
43:49oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,
43:49oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,
43:49oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,
43:51oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
