00:14In Toronto's War on Crime, the worst offenders are pursued by the detectives of the Specialized Criminal Investigations Unit.
00:22These are their stories.
00:25All right.
00:26I'm just here and here.
00:30And that should do it.
00:35This isn't a big mistake, right?
00:37I'm gonna let you...
00:41...little secret, Melissa.
00:42There are no mistakes in Toronto real estate.
00:46He's not wrong.
00:47Nothing can be bought that can't be sold again.
00:50At a markup.
00:51Right.
00:52And if I just want a good home.
00:54Listen, it's nerve wracking.
00:56I get it.
00:56All this gobbledygook.
00:59But it's a great little home.
01:02You're gonna be very happy there.
01:05Mr. Henning, tell me how often do we get homebuyers having last-minute jitters?
01:10First time?
01:12Mm-hmm.
01:13Well, then I would be worried if you weren't nervous.
01:22And that covers it.
01:24How do you feel, Paul?
01:25I mean, yeah.
01:27Good.
01:27A lot of good memories here.
01:29But a new chapter awaits.
01:31Japan.
01:31That's exciting.
01:33When you think about going back?
01:34As soon as this is finalized.
01:36It won't be much longer now, right?
01:37No inspections.
01:40The fun should be released by tomorrow.
01:41Oh, excuse me.
01:48Samantha Morgan?
02:01The fun should be released by tomorrow.
02:03The fun should be released by tomorrow.
02:05The fun should be released by tomorrow.
02:09The fun should be released by tomorrow.
02:10The fun should be released by tomorrow.
02:11The fun should be released by tomorrow.
02:11The fun should be released by tomorrow.
02:11The fun should be released by tomorrow.
02:12The fun should be released by tomorrow.
02:15The fun should be released by tomorrow.
02:16The fun should be released by tomorrow.
02:23You
02:34Yeah, whoa, whoa, whoa, wait wait
02:38How's that even possible you checked yourself
02:47Yeah, leave it with me
03:33Oh, hey, I'm sorry to bother you
03:35You wouldn't happen to have a flashlight on your cell phone, would you?
03:39I dropped my keys
03:40I mean, I'm sure they're in the brush here somewhere
03:43Oh, yeah, sure
03:44You wouldn't mind? Thanks a lot
03:47You gotta say
03:47Paul?
03:49Have we met?
03:50Paul Phillips
03:51The same Paul Phillips that lives over on Alton Drive
03:54Yeah, but, uh, I'm sorry, how do you know my name? I'm drawing a blank
03:58I bet you are
04:05No
04:06What the hell is... oh my god, guys, GUYS!
04:27.
05:19So, who do we have here?
05:22White male, 40s, doesn't look like he was using the skate park.
05:29Wounds like a double-edged blade, two, three, four quick jabs.
05:34The one on the groin would have finished him off, and blood trails suggest he was stabbed
05:39on the path, dragged here as he was dying.
05:46I don't see any defensive wounds.
05:48It wasn't much of a fight.
05:49Happened fast.
05:50Maybe he was facing his attacker, but didn't expect violence.
05:56You think he knew him?
05:57Well, a stranger approaches on a dark path.
06:00He puts your guard up.
06:01Friend approaches, you don't end up dead.
06:03Fair call.
06:04Well, no visible tattoos, no discoloration of the skin to indicate missing persons.
06:10Watch your jewelry.
06:13Nondescript clothes, neutral colors, shoes off the rack.
06:18Blake's sleep.
06:20Fingerprints aren't in the system, and there's no match to missing persons.
06:24Doesn't come home last night, doesn't show up for work this morning.
06:27Nobody's missing this guy.
06:28Apparently not.
06:29Empty pockets, no car keys, no phone, no wallet, nothing.
06:33Simple mugging, clean them out.
06:35Oh, with the mugging, you take the wallet and run.
06:37You don't drag the guy into the woods.
06:38Well, I'd say you don't have much to go on, but this is nothing to go on.
06:44Report on your John Doe.
06:46Nothing much to write home about.
06:51That's on brand.
06:52But there is this.
06:56Black.
06:57Black molars.
06:58That's silver diamine fluoride.
07:01Correct.
07:02Topical treatment for tooth decay, an alternative to drilling.
07:05Stains the teeth.
07:06So, our John Doe didn't want to get cavities, so that's not exactly a lead.
07:11I hate to break it to you, but I see some canvassing in your future.
07:14Get a digital rendering made and go talk to the public.
07:18The public.
07:26Take a close look.
07:27Yeah.
07:28Yeah, he came in last night.
07:31So, you've seen him before.
07:34No, but he tipped big, stuck around to eat, and said he just cashed in his chips.
07:40There.
07:42May I?
07:45Okay, 9.42 p.m.
07:51No calls, no texting, just dining alone.
07:55I don't know, fried chicken and zidoku looks pretty good to me.
08:00Hey, look at that.
08:02The pen.
08:04Right there.
08:07He just throws it in the trash with everything else, but...
08:14He came in with it, see?
08:16Maybe there's a logo on it.
08:18Now it's a reach, but it's something.
08:20This path leads us to a dumpster full of old chicken, isn't it?
08:24You're in luck.
08:25It was late.
08:26I already emptied the trash, so anything he tossed is still in the can.
08:29Can we borrow a pizza box?
08:35Talking to the public, guard search?
08:38This guy's starting to bother me.
08:40Come on, you love it.
08:44Oh, God.
08:51Hey.
08:53There we go.
08:54Hello.
08:57Samantha Morgan, Wingrove Realty.
08:59Well, it's not nothing.
09:06I mean, it's Paul.
09:08Why?
09:09What's happened?
09:10And how do you know it?
09:10I sold this house for him.
09:12I'm actually here grabbing my staging materials.
09:14He cashed in his chips.
09:16Excuse me?
09:18Is he okay?
09:19I'm afraid he was found dead this morning.
09:22What?
09:23What on earth happened?
09:24We don't actually have a lot of details right now, but maybe you can help.
09:27If this image is a rendering, do you happen to have anything that could help us confirm
09:32that we're talking about the same person?
09:33I mean, that's him.
09:35I'm 100% sure that's him.
09:37Hold on.
09:47Yeah, that's our guy.
09:49Do you mind if I hang on to this?
09:50No, of course.
09:51Thanks.
09:57I'm sorry.
09:58I'm just a little confused here.
09:59He was on his way back to Japan.
10:02Japan?
10:02Yeah, that's where he worked.
10:04That's why he wanted to get rid of his place.
10:05He was spending most of his time there.
10:08Yeah, well, that explains why no one misses him.
10:11Are there any photos of his friends or family?
10:14Any personal items?
10:16Usually we haul that stuff out by the truckload.
10:21But we actually had to bring some tchotchkes in.
10:24Yeah, there's not much character.
10:26Did you happen to meet anyone else in his life?
10:30No, we only met a couple weeks ago.
10:32Well, that deal must have gone through pretty quick.
10:34We pressed it to move.
10:35He was eager to get back overseas.
10:42Thanks.
10:43Listen, everyone's signed in line here, so I'm just curious.
10:47Will this affect the sale?
10:50I don't mean to be crass.
10:52It's not matter.
10:55Yeah, it's Detective Bateman.
10:57I was hoping you could run a name for me.
10:59Yeah, Paul Phillips, date of birth, March 23rd, 1981.
11:04Address, 227 Alton Drive.
11:06Search CPIC.
11:07Check your currencies.
11:08See what you can find on a next-minute emergency contact.
11:12Thanks.
11:12None of the neighbors have seen this guy for months.
11:16Anything out of the ordinary lately?
11:18Oh, just the real estate people coming and going.
11:20One of the neighbors.
11:22He was so irritated.
11:24Place sold for 1.5.
11:26Undermarket.
11:28Oh, he's a bot.
11:29Poor thing.
11:30Yeah.
11:35Okay, thank you so much.
11:38Paul Phillips has his sister in the scar room.
11:48A Monday warrior means stride.
11:51Today's Tom Sawyer mean mean pride.
12:06Well, his mind is not for him.
12:08The wood has come down as air again.
12:12His reserve a quiet defense.
12:15Writing out the day's event.
12:18The river.
12:39Here you go.
12:46I just can't.
12:50I can't make sense of it.
12:51We're so sorry for your loss.
12:53Who would do that to Paul?
12:54Oh, that's something we're hoping you might be able to help us figure out.
13:00Lydia, because of the circumstances of your brother's death, we do need to confirm his identity.
13:06Is that something you're comfortable doing?
13:08Oh.
13:10Oh.
13:14Oh, God.
13:17Yeah.
13:18Okay.
13:22Jealous?
13:26Opinion.
13:27What are the bruises around the stab wounds?
13:30Well, they're from the attack.
13:32Looks like the murder weapon had a hilt.
13:36Why, is something bothering you, detective?
13:38Hold me everything.
13:49So, sit up in there.
13:50You can take your time, and we'll go in when you're ready.
13:54Miss Phillips, were you aware your brother was back in town?
13:58No, it was weird to let me know when he was coming.
14:02At any rate, Detective Graf, and we will give you a moment to yourself, because we understand this is difficult.
14:09Did you know he'd sold his house?
14:10He did?
14:12Well, he was, uh, in a rush to get rid of it.
14:15It took far less than he could have.
14:16How often were you two in...
14:18...to touch?
14:21Well, not daily, but, you know, we shared the big stuff.
14:24Like selling his home.
14:26I would have thought so.
14:27Yeah.
14:28I think I'm ready to see him now.
14:31It's right this way.
14:32It was something else we shared.
14:34We were both blind as bats.
14:37Only, Paul was brave enough to have the surgery.
14:40He had laser surgery?
14:42Yeah, the same as stigmatism, but Paul had his corrected.
14:46Do you have a number for Paul in Japan?
14:49Yes, but aren't we going in now?
14:52Can you dial it?
14:54Please?
14:56Okay.
14:57I'm so sorry.
14:58I'll be right back.
15:03Hey, what are you thinking?
15:05Stain molars.
15:06This silver diamide fluoride.
15:09Dentists use it when a patient has an aversion to anesthetic.
15:16If he can't have anesthetic, he didn't get eye surgery.
15:19Well, maybe he's not a blank slate after all.
15:22Paul?
15:23Lydia?
15:24You're alive!
15:25Lydia, is everything okay?
15:28So who's in the morgue?
15:32An imposter.
15:42If that wasn't Paul Phillips, who was he?
15:45Let's start with a different question.
15:47How does one sell a house they don't own?
15:50He had ID.
15:52I showed you two pieces as a requirement.
15:56Which you didn't authenticate.
15:58I check his photo.
16:00I look at his face.
16:02I mean, I'm not Interpol.
16:04You met him two weeks ago.
16:06He came to you.
16:07Is that right?
16:07He saw my bus that bad.
16:09Told me he was in a hurry and that I should take any reasonable offer.
16:12Nothing about that seems suspicious.
16:14That's a motivated seller.
16:17That's music to my ears.
16:19Keep everything moving so fast that nobody notices anything's off.
16:22Like clearing a house of all personal items.
16:25Not a single keepsake that might identify the real Paul Phillips.
16:29His name was on the title.
16:30Funny you should say.
16:32He spelt his name wrong on the purchase agreement.
16:35Use the common spell.
16:38Phillips.
16:39Two L's rather than the one L that the real Paul Phillips used.
16:45Repeats the error a few times.
16:48Obviously, I didn't see that.
16:50Samantha, have you heard of anything like this happening before?
16:53I mean, I've heard of it, but no, not to anyone I know.
16:56Hey, who do you like in financial crimes?
16:59Like, I'm a strong word.
17:02Chase is all hurt.
17:09Title thing.
17:12The booming business.
17:13That's what you get when a starter home costs a million bucks.
17:18Save cars have the money, and the bad guys have taken note.
17:23Have a seat.
17:27In this case, the fraudster poses the homeowner.
17:31Fake.
17:32I.D.
17:33Owner overseas.
17:35Right, obviously.
17:36They target vacant properties.
17:39Unmowed lawns.
17:40Drunk mail piling up.
17:42They do a title search, find out the owner's name.
17:43A little bit of rudimentary identity theft, and they are well on their way.
17:48Here.
17:49There's 30 homes in the GTA in the last three years, sold or mortgaged without the owner's
17:55consent.
17:56Oh, Jesus.
17:57Was this guy involved with any of them?
18:03I don't think so.
18:05But that face rings a bell.
18:12Move.
18:15There was a similar scheme in Vancouver.
18:19There was a guy who rented an apartment to 19 people at once, collected rent from all
18:24of them, and then left before anyone got wise.
18:28Is that him?
18:30Yeah, it's the guy.
18:31No.
18:33Vancouver Regional Police never caught him, but they appealed to the public, and they did
18:36get a name.
18:37Timothy Fox.
18:40Fox was Paul.
18:41Fox was Paul Phillips, huh?
18:43Who are you working with in financial?
18:46Oh, well, Graff is a piece of reasoner.
18:50Yeah, one more day, and Fox would've got away with it, but luckily the house is still
18:54in escrow, so the sale never went through.
18:57Well, that's your angle.
18:58Somebody solved that problem with a knife.
19:00Yeah, most of the funds at risk were the banks, all insured.
19:03However, the buyer's deposit...
19:05Gotta be over...
19:08...100...
19:09Oh, that's killing money.
19:11Go meet the buyer.
19:18I've been looking for months.
19:20God, I'll bid so many times.
19:22Finally, an offer is accepted, and then this happens.
19:27It's bad luck.
19:28Yeah, is it true that this imposter guy was murdered?
19:33That's what my real estate agent told me.
19:35Melissa, how much money did you put down on the house?
19:38150,000.
19:40That's a big number.
19:42Yeah, with a big loan on top of that, I bet.
19:45Um, can I ask where you work?
19:48Harborview Lounge on Wellington.
19:51I'm a bartender.
19:53I'm a bartender.
19:53Oh, yeah?
19:53What's your favorite cocktail?
19:55Not to mix, but to drink.
19:57I don't know if I'm fond of a gin ricky.
19:59Well, I'm not drinking much these days.
20:01Yeah, because you're pregnant.
20:04Excuse me?
20:05That's why you want more living space.
20:07Baby on the way.
20:08And how rude...
20:10...to be to make that leap.
20:11Oh, the leap happened earlier.
20:14From this.
20:19Paris.
20:22Clay powder.
20:25Mounting plaque.
20:26I don't see any other crafting supplies about, so, uh...
20:30I'm assuming it's a molding kit for a baby foot.
20:34That was the leap.
20:36The no drinking part just, uh...
20:40Confirmed it.
20:42Or...
20:42Did I get it wrong?
20:45I don't know when it's pregnant.
20:47Did your parents co-sign for the house?
20:50No.
20:52It's none of your business.
20:53What about father-to-be?
20:55Not in the picture.
20:56And even less of your business.
20:58Where were you, two nights ago?
20:59Is he serious?
21:00Well, the man who tried to steal 150...
21:05...50 dollars from you was killed, so...
21:07He's quite serious.
21:10I was...
21:10...at work.
21:12Mondays are slow, so maybe only 300 people saw me.
21:15Would you like their names?
21:17Let's start with your manager's phone number.
21:26You went, uh...
21:28...pretty hard at her.
21:29I mean, I'm not getting...
21:31...stabbing...
21:32...vives.
21:32No, but she's definitely hiding something.
21:35She didn't even ask if she was getting her deposit back.
21:39The money's dodgy.
21:41Let's follow it.
21:45Yes.
21:46I was the advisor of Ms. Harbach's file.
21:48Meaning you approved the loan.
21:50I processed it.
21:51Is there a difference?
21:52Detectives, I'm sure you understand you've got us in a spot here.
21:55We can't discuss the personal finances of a client without a court order.
22:00The finances of a single bartender who buys a house for 1.5 million dollars.
22:05I know it can seem opaque from the outside, but the industry uses something called a GDS ratio.
22:09Gross.
22:10Debt services.
22:12The percentage of income that goes toward housing.
22:14You know your stuff.
22:15I do.
22:17Yeah, I learned the hard way when I tried to buy in Ronci on a cop salary.
22:21But, uh, by my math, to get approved for that loan, Melissa Auerbach would have to be making over $200
22:30,000 a year.
22:31Yeah, she's a charming lady, but, uh, that's a lot of tips.
22:35She had all the records to back it up.
22:37Bank statements, tax returns.
22:39Yep, all of it.
22:40And you authenticated these?
22:41We asked for official documents, and she supplied them.
22:44Detective, as the bank's manager, I have to insist.
22:48Get a court order, and you can look at the records yourself.
22:51If you insist.
23:02Someone definitely cooked the books, made the, uh, fine answers.
23:08No one blinked.
23:11What is it?
23:12Well, maybe that was Timothy Fox's mistake.
23:15His con ran into an even bigger con.
23:21An imposter made to forge her in a dark alley and blood spills.
23:25Maybe it's time we run a con of our own.
23:29You still interested in buying a house?
23:33Have you been looking long?
23:35I just started.
23:37Do I look like a deer in the headlights?
23:39You'll get the hang of it.
23:41You just need some good help.
23:43About that, I actually don't have an agent yet, and my friend Melissa recommended you.
23:49Well then.
23:51I'm always charming, but now I'll really bore it on.
23:56Is this the kind of place you're looking for?
23:58Oh, I mean, it's beautiful.
24:02But, uh, I don't know.
24:05See, here's the thing.
24:07Our finances are a bit tricky.
24:10I'm a gallery owner.
24:11My husband has a carpenter.
24:14We're doing fine, but a lot of our income is in cash.
24:19Meaning it doesn't necessarily all make its way to the book.
24:22So that's between you and God.
24:31None of my business, but what you're describing, I see it all the time.
24:36In fact, I know someone who helps clients in your situation.
24:41Like a mortgage broker?
24:43More like an advisor.
24:44He'll help you organize your books.
24:47Oh.
24:49I mean, we don't want to do anything unethical.
24:52Of course not.
24:52You just want to owe.
24:55They'll make your payments, right?
24:56Of course.
24:58Then no one gets hurt.
25:03Jesse Grayson.
25:06Let him do his thing.
25:07You'll have the home of your dreams before you know him.
25:14So what would you do?
25:15My idea for a restaurant is vegan on one side, snout to tell meat on the other.
25:20Okay, perfect.
25:21Offend everyone.
25:23Appeal to everyone.
25:24That's the move, Dad.
25:25Respect their boundaries, but all together.
25:27And the servers would use like a demilitarized zone down the middle.
25:30Oh, Josh.
25:33Who is it?
25:35Uh, it's just a colleague.
25:38Why don't you head in?
25:39I'll be right there.
25:40Okay.
25:46What are you doing here, Grayson?
25:48What did you say to the cops?
25:49You're following me?
25:51I had to make sure you weren't getting cold feet.
25:53Cold feet?
25:54I did not tell you to kill that guy.
25:56I told you to take care of him.
25:58I just came here so you understand the reality behind all this.
26:03It's you and me now.
26:06Us, Adrian.
26:08You understand?
26:10I didn't say anything.
26:12And I won't.
26:14You stay away from my family.
26:17Later, buddy.
26:24This Grayson guy has got this
26:27pretty
26:30operation doctoring people's finances
26:31until Timothy Fox comes along with
26:34his own scheme
26:35and threatens to blow the whole thing up.
26:37Is that your theory?
26:38Yeah, if Fox had managed to sell
26:40it to us, it would have sparked a huge investigation
26:43once the real owner got home from Japan.
26:45And that would have exposed the whole operation.
26:47We're thinking Grayson killed Fox
26:51before.
26:52Nullified the sale, thinking
26:53that's the end of that.
26:54Problem solved.
26:55That's him.
26:57We got him location data from Grayson's phone.
27:02He was at West End skate park
27:04at the time of the killing.
27:17Jesse Grayson!
27:18Armed officers!
27:19We're coming in!
27:36Bring him in.
27:54Alas, poor Grayson.
28:01Single blow to the head.
28:03That's what most likely brought him down.
28:09Followed by...
28:12Peep blows.
28:15Finish him off.
28:18That's no doubt.
28:21Killer drops the whip.
28:26Washes up with alcohol
28:27and hightails it out of here.
28:30I'm out before taking the computer.
28:43Forged T4.
28:44Artificially aged.
28:45Coffee ring and all.
28:48This must be where Grayson did his work.
28:51It's a good bet that all the clients were...
28:54...draft.
28:54One of them didn't want it found.
28:56This crime scene is a mess.
28:58The baton was a...
29:00...weapon of opportunity.
29:01He came from here.
29:03Grayson was prepared.
29:05Yeah.
29:06For a lifetime of not dating.
29:09That's interesting.
29:13Double-sided blade.
29:14Quick jabs.
29:15Bruising from the guard.
29:20Weapon that killed Timothy Fox?
29:22Could be.
29:23So if Grayson killed Fox...
29:27...we killed Grayson.
29:30Someone didn't want Grayson's handiwork...
29:32...to come to light.
29:33That's why they took his computer.
29:34Yeah, someone with enough skin in the game...
29:36...to go all the way...
29:37...to murder...
29:38...to murder.
29:40...tracks.
29:41Grayson's services would appeal...
29:42...to all kinds of bad actors.
29:44You can get a mortgage.
29:45You can...
29:47...launter a million...
29:48...a million it takes to flip a condo.
29:50Do you have his phone?
29:51I got his call history from his provider.
29:55Nothing?
29:57A couple of maybes...
29:59...some numbered companies...
30:01...some foreign owners...
30:02...a couple...
30:02...pays...
30:03...as you go...
30:05...as you go...
30:05...as you go...
30:06...canx to real estate.
30:07Or criminal associates...
30:09...we thought somebody of your expertise...
30:12...might be able to spot...
30:14...something...
30:16How many listings are we talking about?
30:22All right, let me sit with it.
30:24Well, I think we should...
30:35Hey, Bob, how's the treehouse coming along?
30:37The kids want a second floor and plumbing.
30:40Let me know if you need help with financing.
30:44Yeah, have a good night, Adrian.
31:13Sorry, sorry, Tamara. I had to work late.
31:23And I should have called.
31:26Would have been nice.
31:35Hey.
31:39I'm sorry.
32:02You think she's okay in there?
32:04Well, I offered her food and she made a sound I didn't recognize.
32:09Bateman!
32:09Grab!
32:10Yeah!
32:17Wrong path.
32:18What do you mean?
32:19It's not one of Grayson's clients.
32:21He starts the loans, yes.
32:24But someone still needs to underwrite them.
32:26So, I looked at the land title registry and that's when I saw it.
32:31The lending institutions, the same ones, keep coming up over and over again.
32:35And that's what Grayson's...
32:39...would have shown you.
32:40They are all getting their dodgy financing from Hemisphere...
32:47...saves and loans.
32:49So our big fish isn't a gangster.
32:52He's a banker.
32:58Hot diggity damn.
33:03It's a beautiful view.
33:05It's a beautiful home.
33:07What can I do for you?
33:08Tell me, uh, Mr. Henning.
33:11A man in your position, is your compensation tied to the performance of your branch?
33:21Dentist structure, yes?
33:23So if, uh, branch does well, you do well.
33:26And it's obvious that...
33:30You're doing very well.
33:31I have a good team.
33:33Transferred there three years ago.
33:34We gelled right away.
33:35Ah, but Mr. Henning, we're here because we found evidence of widespread fraud at your branch.
33:40I have no idea what you're talking about.
33:43No, we also have reason to believe that these crimes are connected to two murders.
33:46Would you care to comment on that?
33:48Ah, f***.
33:50I wouldn't know how.
33:52I'm...
33:52I'm...
33:52I'm stunned.
33:53Well, that...
33:54That watch, that's a rarity.
33:57Your eyes and ears and especially none of that vintage.
34:00Would you mind if I took a closer look?
34:02He's crazy about what...
34:06Oh, sure.
34:07Ooh.
34:08Well, it looks like someone's been playing with dark toxic chemicals.
34:12Caught you red-handed, so to speak.
34:13What?
34:15Isopropyl alcohol.
34:17In pure form, it can cause skin rashes if you were to use it to clean your skin of... what?
34:25Blood, maybe?
34:26Detectives, I am a banker.
34:28I use sanitizer after every hand I shake, and I shake a lot of hands.
34:32Mm-hmm.
34:33If you wouldn't mind, I would appreciate if you directed any other questions to my lawyer.
34:37Mm-hmm.
34:38I do.
34:39Uh, but in terms of, uh, getting to work on time, I wouldn't worry.
34:43So, we...
34:44Took your advice.
34:45It's a copy of the search warrant that's gone to your branch.
34:49So, we might beat you there, but either way, see you soon.
34:52There's a ongoing topic.
35:07There's irregularities all over the place.
35:10Here's a student claiming $400,000 in...
35:14overseas.
35:15Well, this client owns three homes on a 2.4 million borrowed...
35:20Old occupation, patient, hair dresser, ooh, coffee ring and all.
35:29Oh my god, if you tried this at my bank, they would taser you in the face.
35:33And then they'd file a suspicious transaction report.
35:46Adrian Henning, placing you under arrest.
35:50On what charge?
35:52Today, conspiracy to commit fraud and money laundering.
35:56But we'll see what tomorrow brings.
36:07Mr. Grayson's network funneled dozens of fraudulent clients towards Mr. Henning's bank.
36:13Where there were rubber stamps for loans?
36:15Allegedly.
36:17The initial audit suggests it's been happening for...
36:20Over a year.
36:21Now, are you telling me your client...
36:23Theo, I thought we were having lunch.
36:26You want to talk hypotheticals, I'm all ears.
36:30Otherwise...
36:31All right, okay.
36:33Okay.
36:38Hypothetically speaking.
36:43I killed Jesse Grayson to hide his own criminal activity at Hemisphere Savings and Loans.
36:47Mr. Henning has denied any part in that fraud.
36:50And if you come at us claiming he planned to murder Jesse...
36:54Traffic cams put him at the condo on the night.
36:58Prints and DNA...
37:03All over the murder weapon.
37:04You see cold-blooded intent.
37:07Perhaps I see something else.
37:12What would that be?
37:14Well, if I were to say, and let's be clear, I'm not...
37:21I knew of a dangerous man that was defrauding his bank and asked the...
37:29Dan to stop.
37:31Oh, uh, if that's your defense.
37:35That man would have to be pretty dangerous for a murder charge to go away.
37:40I forget who was it that brutally killed Timothy Fox with an illegal...
37:45Oh, right.
37:46Jesse Grayson.
37:48When your delusions subside, call me.
37:50We'll start talking in absolutes.
37:54Thanks for the shawarma.
38:04Self-defense.
38:06Looking that way.
38:10Where a murder weapon came from Grayson's armory.
38:13Okay, but you know that just because it's not premeditated does...
38:16It's not...
38:18Mean...
38:19Mean...
38:20All they have to do is convince the jury that Henning feared for his life.
38:23If Caldwell does that, he'll walk.
38:26No.
38:26No, no, no, no.
38:27Grayson was attacked from behind by surprise.
38:30He had a whole arsenal of weapons, but none in hand.
38:35He wasn't the aggressor.
38:36Not this time.
38:38Exactly.
38:39That's the issue.
38:40Grayson's a killer.
38:41Henning at best is a family.
38:43First, Robin Hood giving houses to the poor.
38:46We need to dismantle the folk hero narrative
38:51and put the blood back on his hands.
38:53Not this time.
38:54What?
38:55What she said.
38:58Grayson wasn't the aggressor this time.
39:01This whole thing's...
39:02When one fraud collided with another,
39:05if Henning in any way, in any way,
39:08can...
39:09Inspire...
39:10Inspire...
39:10Inspire to...
39:12Foster.
39:13His self-defense goes out the window.
39:16Yeah, you...
39:17You connect...
39:19Connect Henning...
39:21To Timothy Fox.
39:23I can put him away.
39:25Back to fraud number one.
39:29Joy of Joyce.
39:36Hey.
39:40How's, uh...
39:41How's Josh?
39:42He's scared.
39:46Adrian, these things that they're saying that you've done
39:49make it make sense.
39:52I was protecting us.
39:54Don't you dare.
39:55Remember the other night we were coming home from dinner
39:57and there was that guy out front of our house.
39:59You remember that?
40:00He was threatening us tomorrow.
40:02He threatened to hurt you and Josh.
40:04What?
40:06I need...
40:08I need you to tell them what you saw.
40:10Okay?
40:14The bank's lawyers advise us not to talk to you guys.
40:17Oh, don't worry.
40:17You can tell the bank's lawyers that we're not
40:19talking about mortgage fraud.
40:20We're here to talk about two dead bodies.
40:22What was Adrian Henning's involvement with
40:26227 Alton Drive?
40:27Mr. Henning kept a close tab on that file.
40:29When the purchase agreement came in,
40:32something agitated him.
40:34Something like a guy who couldn't spell his own last name?
40:36Is it normal for him to read purchase agreements?
40:38No.
40:38He's a manager.
40:40He doesn't handle customer transactions.
40:42Yet here he is going over this particular file
40:44with a magnifying glass.
40:45This one mattered to him.
40:47Why?
40:49I don't know what to tell you.
40:50You make it all sound so dirty.
40:52It does sound dirty.
40:53We help people buy homes.
40:54People like Melissa Auerbach,
40:56a bartender just trying to build a life.
40:59Hey, Greg.
41:05Henning covered the seller was sketchy.
41:07He looked into him,
41:08found out he was an imposter.
41:09Yeah, he alerted Grayson,
41:11told him to take care of it.
41:13Conspiracy to commit.
41:14If we can prove it.
41:18Yeah, excuse me, but, um,
41:21Henning told us that he was transferred
41:23to this branch a couple of years ago.
41:25Do you know where from?
41:26Uh, Wellington Street branch.
41:28Downtown.
41:28That's right across from the Harborview Lounge.
41:31We know it works there.
41:35We get all types of
41:37money guys at the bar.
41:39But Adrian seemed different.
41:42He's open and
41:44curious.
41:45And married.
41:45And he never tried to hide that.
41:47We talked about it.
41:48The ups and downs.
41:50We talked about everything.
41:53Melissa, Adrian Henning
41:54has been accused of some very serious crimes.
41:58I'm still struggling to believe that.
42:00You don't think he's capable of such things?
42:03Maybe I didn't know him as well as I thought I did.
42:09I know how this sounds.
42:12But I'm not some deluded ex.
42:14I'm not pining.
42:18But our thing.
42:20While it lasted.
42:22I don't know.
42:24Adrian inspired me to
42:27imagine life for myself.
42:30A bigger one.
42:32And I didn't need it to be real.
42:34But then...
42:35But then it became real.
42:36You got pregnant.
42:38He got cold feet.
42:40Yeah.
42:40And you weren't about to be cast aside with nothing.
42:44I wasn't looking to punish him.
42:45I just wanted what he promised me.
42:48What he said
42:52was in reach.
42:53What was that?
42:55A home.
43:05Counselor.
43:07We've come across some new information and...
43:11Wanted to give Mr. Henning a chance to respond.
43:14Why is Mrs. Henning here?
43:15Mrs. Henning has some new information as well.
43:19We'd hope Forrester would be here.
43:21So we put this all to bed.
43:24But...
43:24Tomorrow.
43:28Six nights ago,
43:30Adrian, Josh, and I were walking home from the restaurant.
43:34And this Jesse Grayson fellow,
43:36he threatened us.
43:38He threatened our son, Josh.
43:40And he threatened to kill us all.
43:43So whatever...
43:45Whatever...
43:47Whatever...
43:47He did out of self-defense.
43:51Thank you, Mrs. Henning.
43:56Would you be prepared to say all that again in a court of law in front of a...
44:03Strangers, a jury of your peers, the press?
44:06Yes, because it's the truth.
44:12Mrs. Henning, would you mind excusing us?
44:15We have some...
44:20...matters to discuss with your husband.
44:25No.
44:26No, I'll stay.
44:28Okay.
44:30We don't have any secrets.
44:32Not anymore.
44:38Okay, uh, no secrets.
44:41Mr. Henning, who is...
44:45...matters to you?
44:50Uh...
44:52You spoke with her?
44:53We did.
44:54And you should know that if this case goes to trial,
44:58she will be called to testify.
45:00My client's relationship with Ms. Arby...
45:05...Auerbach has no bearing.
45:07Sometimes the least of our sins speak the loudest, Mr. Henning.
45:12Less poetry, Detective.
45:14When your affair with Ms. Auerbach ended, you felt responsible.
45:21You wanted to help her out.
45:24But, uh...
45:25You couldn't buy a house for some bartender you'd knocked up.
45:32Sorry, I guess you left that part out.
45:35When you helped...
45:38...Melissa and your baby,
45:40you had to do it at arm's length.
45:43So you put...
45:53...
45:53...helped her with the money and it all looked clean.
45:56But bad luck.
45:58Melissa tried to buy the house on Alton Drive.
46:01Where the seller was...
46:04...and...
46:05...and...
46:05...pucked...
46:06...and you caught the con just in time.
46:09And informed Grayson to, uh...
46:13...take care of it.
46:14I just wanted the guy to back off.
46:16You know, Grayson took it too far.
46:20Things were spiraling.
46:21Cops everywhere and your lies...
46:24...was woven into this whole mess.
46:26Maybe he didn't go to Grayson's that night to kill him.
46:30He didn't.
46:30Maybe you just wanted him to...
46:32...smarten up.
46:33Shut down his operation.
46:37Al Grayson was lay low, but not this guy.
46:40No, he's, uh...
46:42...head case, a loose cannon.
46:44And as long as he was alive, everything you held dear was at risk.
46:51Exactly.
46:52Mr. Henning feared for his life...
46:55...himself.
46:56A decent man in a bad spot.
46:58That's right.
46:58Beautiful family.
47:00Good job.
47:02Even the mortgage staff, that's a victimless crime, right?
47:04I mean, we're talking about real estate here.
47:06Everyone's on the take.
47:07You were just keeping up with the flow of traffic.
47:10And that's all the jury's gonna hear, right?
47:12Except, um...
47:14...it doesn't work that way anymore.
47:17Melissa Auerbach changes it.
47:20Make your point, detective.
47:22The real victims are the point.
47:24Right there in your own home.
47:27Your wife tomorrow.
47:29Your son, Josh.
47:30You believe them not?
47:32Well, they're right in the middle of it, Mr. Henning, because you put them there.
47:37Think about every time you came home late and you saw the pain on their faces.
47:42Every lie.
47:43Every bad excuse.
47:45I made a mistake.
47:46A mistake?
47:47No, no, no, Mr. Henning, you're a cheat.
47:50You cheat on your wife.
47:52You cheat your unborn child out of a father by bribing your mistress with a house.
47:58Not a home.
48:00Hush, man.
48:02Grayson was a threat to my family.
48:05A threat?
48:05Yes!
48:05Well, why didn't you go to the police?
48:07Huh?
48:08Sure, you've broken the law, but isn't a slap on the wrist better than committing murder?
48:14I told you, Grayson went too far.
48:17No, you went too far.
48:18It wasn't a fake document.
48:19It wasn't a fake documents you were hiding.
48:21It was Melissa Auerbach's name.
48:23That was the reason that you wanted all of this to stay hidden forever.
48:28You knew the jury wasn't going to see some benevolent Robin Hood giving houses to the poor.
48:34They would see a lying banker, a cheating husband.
48:39They would see you bashing a fallen man's skull in until you can see his brains.
48:45That's enough, detective.
48:46No, that's overkill.
48:48Counselor, that is intent.
48:49The man was down.
48:51He was not a threat anymore.
48:52And if you take this to trial, this all comes out.
48:56And your family will have to live through that horror in public.
48:59And for what?
49:01A moment of bliss?
49:02To have your ego stroked by a beautiful young woman?
49:05Detective Graf.
49:07So how much more pain do you want them to go through, huh?
49:10I'm so sorry.
49:11I'm no Theo Forster, but let's pretend.
49:16Excuse me, I'm sorry, but how did you find out your husband's husband was having an affair?
49:26Did he accidentally whisper to you one night?
49:29Did he tell you she was pregnant?
49:33And what will your relationship be with your husband's love child?
49:37Welcoming?
49:45Please, somebody let me...
49:49Let me...
49:51Let me...
49:52I just spoke with Forster.
50:05He got a guilty plea from Adrian Hennings.
50:08second degree no child i guess ending found his heart or he just looked at the numbers
50:21you going home graf
