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.
01:44Excuse me.
01:48Samantha Morgan?
01:52Oh, my God.

03:58i bet you
04:21what the hell is oh my god guys guys
04:30so
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, nondescript 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.
06:42This 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.
06:57Black molars.
06:58That's silver diamine fluoride.
07:01Correct.
07:02Topical treatment for tooth decay, an alternative to drilling.
07:05Stains of 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.
07:28Yeah.
07:29He came in last night.
07:31All right.
07:31So, you've seen him before.
07:34No.
07:35But he tipped big, stuck around to eat, and said he just cashed in his chips.
07:40There.
07:41May I?
07:45Okay, 9.42 p.m.
07:51No calls, no texting, just dining alone.
07:55I don't know.
07:56Fried 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 he came in with it, see?
08:16Maybe there's a logo on it.
08:18House of 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 you 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.
08:40Oh, come on.
08:40You love it.
08:43Oh, God.
08:51Hey.
08:53There we go.
08:57Samantha Morgan, Windgrove 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?
09:24Uh, we don't actually have a lot of details right now, but maybe you can help.
09:27This image is a rendering.
09:29Do you happen to have anything that could help us confirm that 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.
09:52Thanks.
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 priced it to move.
10:35He was eager to get back overseas.
10:42Thanks.
10:42Listen, 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, the...
11:27I don't know how he was a dog.
11:29Poor thing.
11:30Yeah.
11:35Okay, thank you so much.
11:38Paul Phillips has a sister in Scarborough.
11:48A Monday warrior means strife.
11:51Today's Tom Sawyer, mean, mean pride.
12:04Today's Tom Sawyer, mean, mean pride.
12:06The mind is not for end.
12:09The wooden down is arrogant.
12:12It's reserved for quiet defense.
12:15Writing out the day's events.
12:17No reason, let's go.
12:48I just 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?
13:09Oh.
13:14Oh God.
13:17Yeah.
13:18Okay.
13:26What are the bruises around the stab wounds?
13:30Well, they're from the attack.
13:31Looks like the murder weapon had a hilt.
13:35Why?
13:36Is something bothering you, detective?
13:38Hold me everything.
13:49So sit up in there, you 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.
13:59It 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.
14:08Did you know he sold his house?
14:10Did you know he sold his house?
14:11He did?
14:12Yeah, he was in a rush to get rid of it.
14:15It took far less than he could have.
14:16How often were you two in touch?
14:20Well, 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.
14:31He'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.
14:45Do 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?
15:05Stained molars.
15:07This 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?
15:23Lidia?
15:24You're alive!
15:26Lidia, is everything okay?
15:29So who's in the morgue?
15:32An imposter.
15:33You're alive.
15:34You're alive.
15:36You're alive.
15:36You're alive.
15:37You're alive.
15:39You're alive.
15:40You're alive.
15:41That wasn't Paul Phillips.
15:44Who 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.
15:51I showed you two pieces as a requirement.
15:56Which you didn't authenticate.
15:57I 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.
16:11And 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.
16:35Used 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, uh, financial crimes?
16:59I like.
17:00I'm a strong word.
17:02Chase is all hurt.
17:09Title, thank you.
17:12Booming business.
17:13That's what you get when a starter home costs a million bucks.
17:17Save.
17:18Save.
17:19The guards have.
17:20The guards 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.
17:32Fake ID.
17:33Owner overseas.
17:35Right.
17:35Obviously.
17:36They target vacant properties.
17:39Unmowed lawns.
17:40Junk mail piling up.
17:42They do a title search, find out the owner's name.
17:44Little bit of rudimentary identity theft and they are well on their way.
17:48Here.
17:5130 homes in the GTA in the last three years sold or mortgaged without the owner's consent.
17:56Oh, Jesus.
17:57Was this guy involved with any of them?
18:03Uh, I don't think so.
18:05But that face rings a bell.
18:07Isabel.
18:12Move.
18:14Uh, there was a similar scheme in Vancouver.
18:18There was a guy who rented an apartment to 19 people at once, collected rent from all of them and
18:25then left before anyone got wise.
18:28Is that him?
18:30Yeah, that's the guy.
18:31No.
18:33Vancouver Regional Police never caught him but they appealed to the public and they did get a name.
18:37Timothy Fox.
18:40Was Paul.
18:41Was Paul Phillips, huh?
18:43Who are you working with in financial?
18:46Oh, well, Graff is a
18:49a beast, so we're using her.
18:50Yeah, one more day and Fox would have got away with it.
18:53But luckily the house is still an escrow, so the sale never went through.
18:56Well, that's your angle. Somebody 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...
19:09Oh, 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 all 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.
19:41Number?
19:42Yeah, with a big loan on top of that, I bet.
19:46Um...
19:47Can I ask where you work?
19:48Harborview Lounge.
19:49On Wellington.
19:51I'm a bartender.
19:53Oh, yeah?
19:53What's your favorite cocktail?
19:55Not to mix, but to drink.
19:58I'm fond of a gin ricky.
20:00Well, 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.
20:16From this...
20:20...Paris...
20:23...Clay powder...
20:25...Mounting plaque, I don't see any other crafting supplies about.
20:28So, uh...
20:30I'm assuming it's a molding kit for a baby foot.
20:34That was a leap.
20:36The no drinking part just, uh...
20:40...confirmed it.
20:42Or...
20:42...did I get it wrong?
20:45I don't know when it's pregnant.
20:47Did your parents co-sign for the house?
20:50No.
20:51It'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...
21:04...$50 from you was killed, so...
21:07...he's quite serious.
21:10I was...
21:11...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...
21:31...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...
21:59...without a court order.
22:00The finances of a single bartender who buys a house for $1.5 million?
22:05I know it can seem opaque from the outside, but the industry uses something called a GDS ratio.
22:09Gross...
22:10...debt 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's 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.
22:44Detectives, as the bank's manager, I have to insist.
22:47Get a court order, and you can look at the records yourself.
22:51If you insist.
23:02Someone definitely cooked the books, made the, uh,
23:05Finances.
23:08No one blinked.
23:11What is it?
23:12Well, maybe that was Timothy Fox's mistake.
23:15His con.
23:16I ran into an even bigger con.
23:21An imposter me to forger 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,
23:47and 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.
24:00Beautiful.
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 Henry is a carpenter.
24:15We'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.
24:25Okay.
24:27It's just on paper we don't qualify for much of a mortgage.
24:32None of my business, but what you're describing?
24:34I 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 a home.
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 it.
25:14So what would you do?
25:15My idea for a restaurant is vegan on one side,
25:19snout 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?
25:35It's just a colleague.
25:38Why don't you head in? I'll be right there.
25:40Okay.
25:43Okay.
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.
26:14Just stay away from my family.
26:17Later, buddy.
26:24This Grayson guy's 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
26:41us, 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.
26:53Thinking that's the end of that.
26:54Problem solved.
26:55It's him.
26:57We got him location data from Grayson's phone.
27:02He was at Weston's skate park at the time of the killing.
27:17Jesse Grayson!
27:18Armed officers!
27:19We're coming in!
27:36Bring him in.
27:37I won't ring our dangers.
27:49Go away, go away!
27:51That's the question!
27:54Alas, poor Grayson.
28:01A single blow to the head
28:03That's what most likely brought him down
28:07Followed by
28:09A
28:10A
28:10A
28:11A
28:11A
28:12A
28:13A
28:13A
28:15Finish him off
28:18That's no doubt
28:21Killer drops the weapon
28:26Washes up with alcohol and hightails it out of here
28:29I'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
28:54One of them didn't want it found
28:56This crime scene is a mess
28:58The baton was a weapon of opportunity
29:01He came from here
29:02Grayson was prepared
29:05Yeah
29:06For a lifetime of not dating
29:09That's interesting
29:13Double-sided blade
29:14Quick jabs
29:15Rusing from the guard
29:20Weapon that killed Timothy Fox
29:22Could be
29:23So if Grayson killed Fox
29:27Who killed Grayson
29:30Someone didn't want Grayson's handiwork to come to light
29:33That's why they took his computer
29:34Yeah, someone with enough skin in the game to go all the way to murder
29:38Murder
29:40Trax
29:41Grayson's services would appeal to all kinds of bad actors
29:44You can get a mortgage
29:45You can launder a million
29:47A million
29:49It takes to flip a condo
29:50Do you have his phone?
29:51I got his call history from his provider
29:55Nothing?
29:57Well, a couple of maybes
29:58Some numbered companies
30:00Some foreign owners
30:02A couple of
30:02Pay
30:03As you go
30:04As you go
30:06As you go
30:06Next to real estate
30:07Or criminal associates
30:08We thought somebody of your expertise
30:12Might be able to spot
30:14Some
30:15Something we
30:16How many listings are we talking about?
30:22Alright, let me sit with it
30:23Well, I think we
30:24Alone
30:35Hey Bob, how's the treehouse coming along?
30:37The kids want a second floor
30:39And plumbing
30:40Let me know if you need help with financing
30:44Yeah, have a good night, Adrian
31:13Sorry, sorry, Tamara
31:15I had to work late
31:23And I should have called
31:26Would have been nice
31:36Hey
31:39I'm sorry
31:40I'm sorry
32:02You think she's okay in there?
32:04Well, I offered her food
32:06And she made a sound I didn't recognize
32:08Bateman, grab
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
32:28And that's when
32:30I saw it
32:31The lending institutions
32:32The same ones keep coming up
32:34Over and over again
32:35And that's what Grayson
32:38Would have shown you
32:40They are all getting
32:42Their dodgy financing
32:43From hemisphere
32:47Save and loans
32:48So our big fish
32:50Isn't a gangster
32:53He's a banker
32:58Hot diggity damn
33:03It's a beautiful view
33:05It's a beautiful home
33:06What can I do for you?
33:08Tell me, Mr. Henning
33:11A man in your position
33:12Is your compensation
33:15Tied to the performance
33:16Of your branch
33:21Dentist structure, yes
33:22So if branch does well
33:25You do well
33:26And it's obvious
33:26That
33:27You won very well
33:31I have a good team
33:33Transferred there three years ago
33:34We gelled right away
33:35But Mr. Henning
33:36We're here because we found evidence
33:38Of widespread fraud
33:39At your branch
33:40I have no idea
33:42What you're talking about
33:43No, we also have reason to believe
33:44That these crimes
33:45Are connected to two murders
33:46Would you care to comment on that?
33:48Ah, fuck
33:49I wouldn't know how
33:51I'm stunned
33:53Well, that
33:55That watch
33:56That's a rarity
33:57Your eyes and ears
33:58And especially
33:59None of that vintage
34:00Would you mind
34:01If I took a closer look?
34:02He's crazy about what?
34:06Oh, sure
34:07Ooh
34:08Well, it looks like
34:09Someone's been playing
34:10With Dr. F***ing chemicals
34:11Caught you red-handed
34:13So to speak
34:13What?
34:15Isopropyl alcohol
34:17In pure form
34:19It can cause skin rashes
34:20If you were to use it
34:21To clean
34:22Your skin
34:23Of
34:23What?
34:24Blood, maybe?
34:26Detect
34:26I am a banker
34:28I use sanitizer
34:29After every hand I shake
34:31And I shake a lot of hands
34:33If you wouldn't mind
34:34I would appreciate
34:34If you directed
34:35Any other questions
34:36To my lawyer
34:38I do
34:39But in terms of
34:40Getting to work on time
34:42I wouldn't worry
34:43We took your advice
34:45It's a copy of the search warrant
34:46That's gone to your branch
34:49So we might beat you there
34:51But either way
34:51See you soon
35:08Irregularities all over the place
35:09Here's a student
35:11Claiming $400,000
35:12In overseas
35:15Well, this client
35:17Owns three homes
35:18On a $2.4 million
35:20Borrowed
35:20Occupational
35:23Patient
35:25Hairdresser
35:26Ooh
35:27Coffee ring and all
35:29Oh my god
35:30If you tried this at my bank
35:31They would taser you in the face
35:33And then they'd file a suspicious transaction report
35:46Adrian Henning
35:47Placing you under
35:49Arrest
35:50On what charge?
35:52Today
35:53Conspiracy to commit
35:54Fraud
35:55And money laundering
35:56But we'll see what tomorrow brings
36:06Mr. Grayson's network
36:08Mr. Grayson's network funneled dozens of fraudulent clients towards Mr. Henning's bank
36:13Where they were a rubber stamp for loans
36:15Allegedly
36:17The initial audit suggests it's been happening for over a year
36:21Now are you telling me your client
36:23Theo
36:23I thought we were having a lot
36:27You want to talk hypotheticals?
36:29I'm all ears
36:29Otherwise
36:30Alright
36:31Alright, okay
36:32Okay
36:38Hypothetically speaking
36:43I killed Jesse Grayson to hide his own criminal activity at Hemisphere Savings and Loans
36:47Mr. Henning has denied
36:48Any part in that fraud
36:50And if you come at us claiming he planned to murder Jesse
36:55Traffic cams put him at the condo on the night
36:58Prints
36:59And DNA
37:03Roll over the murder weapon
37:04You see cold-blooded intent
37:06Perhaps I see something else
37:12What would that be?
37:14Well, if I were to say
37:15And let's be clear
37:16I'm not
37:21The client knew of a dangerous man
37:24That was defrauding his bank
37:25And asked the
37:29Dan to stop
37:31Well, if that's your defense
37:35That man would have to be pretty dangerous
37:37For a murder charge to go away
37:39I forget who was it that brutally killed Timothy Fox
37:43With an illegal weapon
37:45Oh, right
37:46Jesse Grayson
37:48When your delusions subside
37:49Call 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
38:12Okay, but you know that just because it's not premeditated
38:15It's not mean
38:19All they have to do is convince the jury that Henning feared for his life
38:23If Caldwell does that, he'll walk
38:25No
38:26No, no, no, no
38:27Grayson was attacked from behind by surprise
38:30He had a whole arsenal of weapons
38:32But none in hand
38:34But none in hand
38:35He wasn't the aggressor
38:36Yeah, not this time
38:38Exactly
38:39That's the issue
38:40Grayson's a killer
38:41Henning at best as 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
38:53And put the blood back on his hands
39:19To Timothy Fox
39:22I can put him away
39:25Back to fraud number one
39:30Joy of Joyce
39:36Hey
39:39How's up?
39:41How's Josh?
39:42He's scared
39:46Adrian, these things that they're saying that you've done
39:50Make it make sense
39:52I was protecting us
39:53Don't you dare
39:55Remember the other night we were coming home from dinner
39:57And there was that guy up front of our house
39:59Do you 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 him 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
40:19Talk 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
40:33Something like a guy who couldn't spell his own last name?
40:36Is it normal for him to read purchase agreements?
40:38No, he's a manager
40:40He doesn't handle customer transactions
40:41Yet here he is going over this particular file
40:44With a magnifying glass
40:45This one
40:45Doesn't matter 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
40:58Um,
40:58He grabbed
41:05And he discovered 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
41:19But, um
41:21Henning told us
41:22That he was transferred to this branch
41:23A couple of years ago
41:24Do you know where from?
41:26Uh, Wellington Street Branch
41:27Downtown
41:28That's right across from the Harborview Lounge
41:31We know what works there
41:35We get all types of
41:37Money guys at the bar
41:39But
41:40Adrian seemed different
41:41He was open
41:42And
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
41:52Melissa
41:53Adrian Henning
41:54Has been accused
41:55Of some very serious crimes
41:58I'm still struggling
41:59To believe that
42:00You don't think
42:01He's capable of such things?
42:03Maybe I didn't know him
42:04As well as I thought I did
42:09I know how this sounds
42:12But I'm not some deluded ex
42:13I'm not pining
42:18But our thing
42:20While it lasted
42:22I don't know
42:24Adrian inspired me
42:25To
42:26Imagine
42:28Imagine a 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
42:37He got cold feet
42:39Yeah
42:40And you weren't about to be cast aside
42:42With nothing
42:44I wasn't looking to punish him
42:45I just wanted what he promised me
42:47What he said
42:49I said
42:51His dad was in reach
42:53What was that?
42:55A home
43:05Counselor
43:07We've come across some new information
43:09And
43:11Wanted to give Mr. Henning a chance to respond
43:13Why is Mrs. Henning here?
43:16Mrs. Henning has some new information as well
43:19We'd hope Forrester would be here
43:21So we put this all to bed
43:23But
43:24Tomorrow
43:28Six nights ago
43:29Adrian, Josh and I were walking home from the restaurant
43:33And this Jesse Grayson fellow
43:36He threatened us
43:37He threatened our son Josh
43:40And he threatened to kill us all
43:42So whatever
43:45Whatever
43:46Whatever
43:47Whatever
43:47Whatever
43:47Whatever
43:47He did out of self-defense
43:51Thank you, Mrs. Henning
43:55Would you be prepared to say all that again in a court of law
44:00In front of a
44:03Strangers, a jury of your peers, the press?
44:06Yes
44:07Because it's the
44:09Truth
44:10Truth
44:13Mrs. Henning, would you mind excusing us?
44:15We have some
44:20Matters to discuss with your husband
44:25No, no, I'll stay
44:30We don't have any secrets
44:32Not anymore
44:38Okay, uh, no secrets
44:41Mr. Henning
44:42Who is
44:43Mrs. Henning
44:45Who is
44:46Mrs. Henning
44:46To you?
44:48Uh
44:52You spoke with her?
44:53We did
44:55And
44:55You should know that if this case goes to trial
44:58She will be
44:59Called to testify
45:00My client's relationship with Ms. Auerbach
45:05Has no bearing
45:07Sometimes the least of our sins speak the loudest, Mr. Henning
45:11That's poetry, detective
45:13When your affair with Ms. Auerbach ended, you felt responsible
45:20You wanted to help her out
45:23But, uh, you could buy a house for some bartender you'd knocked up
45:31Sorry, I guess you left that part out
45:35When you helped Melissa and your baby
45:40You had to do it at arm's length
45:42So you put
45:45Your antenna could make that happen
45:47Grace and doctored the papers
45:49And, um, she got her mortgage
45:52You could help her with the money
45:54And it all looked clean
45:55But bad luck
45:58Melissa tried to buy the house on Alton Drive
46:01Where the cellar was
46:03And
46:06You caught the con just in time
46:08And informed Grayson to, uh
46:13Take care of it
46:14I just wanted the guy to back off
46:16No, Grayson took it too far
46:19Things were spiraling
46:21Cops everywhere
46:22And your lies
46:24Was woven into this whole mess
46:25Maybe he didn't go to Grayson's that night to kill him
46:28I didn't
46:30Maybe you just wanted him to
46:32Smarten up
46:33Shut down his operation
46:35And all Grayson
46:39Was lay low
46:40But not this guy
46:41No, he's a
46:41Head case
46:42A loose cannon
46:44And as long as you live
46:48Everything you held dear
46:50Was at risk
46:51Exactly
46:52Mr. Henning
46:52Feared for
46:53His life
46:55Himself
46:56A decent man in a bad spot
46:57That's right
46:58Beautiful family
46:59Good job
47:01Even the mortgage staff
47:03That's a victimless crime, right?
47:04I mean, we're talking about real estate
47:06Everyone's on the take
47:07You were just
47:08Keeping up with the flow of traffic
47:09And that's all the jury's gonna hear
47:11Right?
47:12Except, um
47:14It doesn't work that way anymore
47:17Melissa
47:18Auerbach changes it
47:20Make your point, detective
47:22Your real victims are the point
47:24Right there
47:25They're in your own home
47:26Your wife tomorrow
47:28Your son, Josh
47:30He believes in that
47:32Well, they're right in the middle of it, Mr. Henning
47:34Because you put them there
47:36Think about every
47:38Time you came home late
47:40And you saw the pain on their faces
47:42Every lie
47:43Every bad excuse
47:44I made a mistake
47:45A mistake
47:46No, no, no, Mr. Henning
47:48You're a cheat
47:50You
47:51You cheat on your wife
47:52You cheat your unborn child
47:54Out of a father
47:55By bribing your mistress with a house
47:58Not a home
48:00Hush money
48:02Gracing was a threat to my family
48:04A threat
48:05Yes
48:05Well, why didn't you go to the police?
48:07Huh?
48:08Sure, you've broken the law
48:09But isn't a slap on the wrist
48:11Better than committing
48:14Murder?
48:14I told you, Grayson went too far
48:16No, you went too far
48:17It wasn't a fake document
48:20You were hiding
48:21It was Melissa Auerbach's name
48:22That was the reason
48:24That you wanted all of this
48:25To stay hidden forever
48:28You knew
48:29The jury wasn't going to see
48:31Some benevolent Robin Hood
48:32Giving houses
48:33To the poor
48:34They would see
48:35A lying banker
48:37A cheating husband
48:39They would see you bashing
48:41A fallen man's skull
48:42Until you can see his brains
48:45That's enough, detective
48:46No, that's an overkill
48:47Counselor, that is intent
48:49The man
48:49Was down
48:50He was not a threat anymore
48:52And if you take this to trial
48:53This all comes out
48:55And your family
48:57Will have to live
48:58Through that horror
48:58In public
48:59And for what?
49:00A moment of bliss
49:02To have your ego
49:03Stoked by a beautiful
49:05Young woman
49:05Detective Graf
49:07So how much more pain
49:08Do you want them
49:09To go through, huh?
49:10I'm so sorry
49:12I'm no Theo Forrester
49:14But let's pretend
49:15Excuse me
49:19I'm
49:20I'm
49:21But
49:22How did you
49:23Find out your husband
