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?
01:52Oh, my God.
02:33yeah whoa whoa whoa wait wait how's that even possible you checked yourself

03:58i bet you
04:21what the hell is oh my god guys guys
04:30so
04:40so
04:41so
04:42so
04:47so
05:12We'll see you next time.
05:19So, who do we have here? White male, 40s. Doesn't look like he was using the skate park.
05:29Wounds like a double-edged blade. Two, three, four quick jabs. The one on the groin would have finished him
05:36off.
05:36And blood trail suggests he was stabbed on the path. Dragged here as he was dying.
05:46I don't see any defensive wounds. It wasn't much of a fight.
05:49Happened fast. Maybe 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. He puts your guard up.
06:01Friend approaches, you don't end up dead.
06:03Fair call. No visible tattoos, no discoloration of the skin to indicate missing persons.
06:10Watch your jewelry. Nondescript clothes, neutral color, 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. You 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. Nothing much to write home about.
06:49What?
06:51That's on brand.
06:52But there is this.
06:57Black molars. That's silver diamine fluoride.
07:01Correct. Topical treatment for tooth decay and 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.
07:31All right, so 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.
07:41May I?
07:45Okay, 9.42 p.m.
07:52No calls, no texting, just dining alone.
07:55I don't know, fried chicken and Zadoku 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...
08:22A 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.
08:29Could we borrow pizza bucks?
08:35Talking to the public guard search?
08:38This guy's starting to bother me.
08:40Oh, come on.
08:41You love it.
08:44Oh, God.
08:51Hey.
08:53There we go.
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?
09:24Uh, 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.
09:57I'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.
10:08Oh, 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.
10:31We 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.
10:43Listen, 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, address, 227 Alton Drive.
11:06Search CPIC.
11:07Check occurrences.
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, he was so irritated.
11:24The place sold for 1.5.
11:26Under market, the use of the bar, poor thing.
11:30Yeah.
11:35Okay, thank you so much.
11:38Paul Phillips has a sister in the scar room.
11:48A modern-day warrior means stride.
11:51Today's Tom Sawyer, mean, mean pride.
12:06Though his mind is not for end.
12:09The wooden down is there again.
12:12His reserve a quiet defense.
12:15Riding out the day's event.
12:18The river.
12:39There you 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.
13:22Jealous?
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?
13:36Is 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 sold his house?
14:10He 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.
14:32That 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?
15:05Stained 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?
15:24You're alive.
15:25Lydia, is everything okay?
15:29So who's in the morgue?
15:32An imposter.
15:42That 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.
15:52I showed you two pieces as a requirement.
15:56Which you didn't authenticate.
15:58I check his photo.
16:00I look at his face.
16:01I mean, I'm not Interpol.
16:03You 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.
16:35Used the common spell.
16:38Phillips.
16:39Two L's rather than the one L that the real Paul Phillips used.
16:43He just repeats 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 a strong word.
17:02Chase is all hurt.
17:08The title thing left.
17:12The booming business.
17:13That's what you get when a starter home costs a million bucks.
17:17Save.
17:18Gars have.
17:20Gars 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.
17:32I.D.
17:33Owner overseas.
17:35Right, obviously.
17:36They target vacant properties.
17:39Unmowed lawns.
17:40Drunk mail piling up.
17:41They do a title search, find out the owner's name.
17:44Little bit of rudimentary identity theft.
17:46And they are well on their way.
17:48Here.
17:49There's.
17:5130 homes in the GTA in the last three years.
17:54Sold or mortgaged without the owner's consent.
17:56Oh, Jesus.
17:57Was this guy involved with any of them?
18:01Uh.
18:04I don't think so.
18:05But that face rings.
18:07The bell.
18:12Move.
18:14Uh.
18:15There was a similar scheme in Vancouver.
18:19There was a guy.
18:20There was a guy who rented an apartment to 19 people at once,
18:23collected rent from all of them,
18:25and then left before anyone got wise.
18:28Is that him?
18:30Yeah, it's the guy.
18:31Uh.
18:32Vancouver Regional Police never caught him,
18:34but they appealed to the public,
18:35and they did get 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.
18:50We're using her.
18:51Yeah, one more day,
18:51and Fox would have got away with it.
18:53Luckily, the house is still on escrow.
18:55So 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.
19:08100.
19:09Oh, that's killing money.
19:11Go meet the buyer.
19:18Yeah, I've been looking for months.
19:20God, I'll bid so many times.
19:22Finally, an offer accepted,
19:25and then this happens.
19:27It's bad luck.
19:28Yeah, is it true
19:30that this imposter guy was murdered?
19:33That's what my real estate agent told me.
19:35Melissa,
19:35how 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,
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.
20:01Oh, 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
20:09do you want to be to make that leap?
20:11Oh, the leap happened earlier.
20:14From this.
20:19Paris,
20:20um,
20:22clay powder.
20:25Mounting plaque,
20:26I 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,
20:40confirmed it.
20:41Or, or,
20:42did I get it wrong?
20:45I'm once 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 from you was killed,
21:06so,
21:07he's quite serious.
21:10I was
21:10at work.
21:12Mondays are slow,
21:13so 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,
21:28pretty hard at her.
21:29I mean,
21:29I'm not getting
21:30stabbing
21:32vibes.
21:32No,
21:33but she's definitely hiding something.
21:34She 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. Harbaugh's file.
21:48Meaning you
21:49approved the loan.
21:50I processed it.
21:51Is there a difference?
21:52Detectives,
21:53I'm sure you understand
21:54you've got us in a spot here.
21:56We can't discuss the personal finances of a client
21:59without a court order.
22:00The finances of a single bartender
22:03who buys a house for $1.5 million?
22:05I know it can seem opaque from the outside,
22:07but 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,
22:18I learned the hard way
22:18when I tried to buy in Ronci on a cop salary.
22:21But, uh,
22:22by
22:23my math,
22:25to get approved for that loan,
22:26Melissa Auerbach would have to be making
22:28over
22:30$200,000 a year?
22:31Yeah,
22:32she's a charming lady,
22:33but, uh,
22:34that's a lot of tips.
22:35She had all the records to back it up.
22:37Bank statements,
22:37tax returns,
22:39yep,
22:39and you authenticated these?
22:41We asked for official documents,
22:43and she supplied them.
22:44Detective,
22:45as the bank's manager,
22:47I have to insist.
22:48Get a court order,
22:49and you can look at the records yourself.
22:51If you insist.
23:02Someone definitely cooked the books,
23:04made the, uh,
23:05fine 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 investor made to forge her in a dark alley
23:24and blood spills.
23:25Maybe it's time we run a con of our own.
23:29Are you 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,
23:44I actually don't have an agent yet,
23:47and my friend Melissa recommended you.
23:49Well,
23:51I'm always charming,
23:53but now I'll really pour it on.
23:56Is this the kind of place you're looking for?
23:58Oh,
23:59I mean,
23:59it's beautiful,
24:02but, uh,
24:03I don't know.
24:05See,
24:06here's the thing.
24:07Our finances are a bit tricky.
24:10I'm a gallery owner.
24:11My husband,
24:12Henry,
24:13is a carpenter.
24:15We're doing fine,
24:16but 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,
24:28we don't qualify for much of a mortgage.
24:32None of my business,
24:33but what you're describing,
24:34I see it all the time.
24:36In fact,
24:37I 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,
24:50we don't want to do anything unethical.
24:52Of course not.
24:53You 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 him.
25:14So what would you do?
25:15My idea for a restaurant.
25:17It's vegan on one side,
25:19snout to tell meat on the other.
25:20Perfect.
25:21Offend everyone.
25:23Appeal to everyone.
25:24That's the move,
25:24dad.
25:25Respect their boundaries,
25:26but all together.
25:27and the servers would use
25:28like a demilitarized zone
25:29down the middle.
25:30Oh, Josh.
25:33Who is it?
25:35It'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
25:51you weren't getting cold feet.
25:53Cold feet?
25:54I did not tell you to kill that guy.
25:56I told you to kill him.
25:58I just came here
25:59so you understand
26:00the 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
26:25has got this
26:28pretty
26:29operation
26:30doctoring people's finances
26:31until Timothy Fox
26:33comes along with
26:34his own scheme
26:35and threatens to blow
26:36the whole thing up.
26:37Is that your theory?
26:38Yeah.
26:39If Fox had managed to sell
26:41us,
26:41it would have sparked
26:42a huge investigation
26:43once the real
26:43owner got home
26:45from Japan.
26:45And that would have
26:46exposed the whole operation.
26:47We're thinking
26:48Grayson killed Fox
26:51before,
26:52nullified the sale,
26:53thinking that's the end
26:54of that problem solved.
26:55That's him.
26:57We got him
26:57location data
26:58from Grayson's phone.
27:02He was at
27:03West End skate park
27:04at the time
27:04they killed him.
27:17Jesse Grayson!
27:18Armed officers!
27:19We're coming in!
27:36Bring him in!
27:37I can't wait, I can't wait.
27:54Alas, poor Grayson.
28:01A single blow to the head.
28:03That's what most likely brought him down.
28:07...followed by...
28:13...peat blows...
28:14...finish him off.
28:18Left no doubt...
28:21...killer drops the weapon...
28:26...washes up with alcohol and hightails it out of here.
28:30Not before taking the computer.
28:43...forged T4. Artificially aged. Coffee 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...drive.
28:55One of them didn't want it found. This crime scene is a mess.
28:58The baton was a...
29:00...weapon of opportunity. He came from here.
29:03Grayson was prepared.
29:05Yeah, for a lifetime of not dating.
29:09That's interesting.
29:13Double-sided blade, quick jabs, bruising from the guard.
29:20...weapon that killed Timothy Fox?
29:22Could be.
29:23So if Grayson killed Fox...
29:27...who 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...to murder.
29:40...tracks.
29:41Grayson's services would appeal to all kinds of bad actors.
29:44You can get a mortgage...
29:45...you can...
29:47...launter a million...
29:48...a million...
29:49...no it 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...
29:59...some numbered companies...
30:01...some foreign owners...
30:02...a couple of...
30:03...pays...
30:04...as you go...
30:05...as you go...
30:06...as you go...
30:06...connects to real estate.
30:07...or criminal associates...
30:09...we thought somebody of your expertise...
30:12...might be able to spot...
30:15...something...
30:15...thing we...
30:16How many listings are we talking about?
30:22Alright, 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...
30:39...and plumbing.
30:40Let me know if you need help with...
30:42...financing.
30:44Yeah, have a good night Adrian.
31:13Sorry, sorry Tamara.
31:16I had to work late.
31:23And I should've called.
31:25Would've been nice.
31:36Hey.
31:39I'm sorry.
31:41I'm sorry.
32:02You think she's okay in there?
32:04Well, I offered her food...
32:06...and she made a sound I...
32:07...didn't recognize.
32:09Bateman!
32:09Graff!
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...
32:28...and that's when...
32:30...I saw it.
32:31The lending institutions...
32:32...the same ones keep coming up...
32:34...over and over again...
32:35...and that's what Grayson...
32:39...would have shown you.
32:40They are all getting their dodgy financing...
32:44...from Hemisphere...
32:46...saves and loans.
32:49So our big fish...
32:50...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...
33:10...Mr. Henning...
33:11...a man in your position...
33:13...is your compensation...
33:15...tied to the performance of your branch?
33:21...centive structure, yes?
33:23So if, uh...
33:24...branch does well...
33:25...you do well.
33:26And it's obvious that...
33:29...it wasn't very well.
33:31I have a good team.
33:33Transferred there three years ago...
33:34...we gelled right away.
33:35Ah, but Mr. Henning...
33:36...we're here because we found evidence...
33:38...of widespread fraud...
33:39...at your branch.
33:40I have...
33:41...no idea what you're talking about.
33:43No, we also have reason to believe...
33:44...that these crimes are connected to two murders.
33:46Would you care to comment on that?
33:48Ah, fuck.
33:50I wouldn't know how.
33:52I'm...
33:52...I'm stunned.
33:53Well, that...
33:54...that watch...
33:56...that's a rarity.
33:57Your eyes and ears...
33:58...and especially none of that vintage.
34:00Would you mind if I...
34:01...took a closer look?
34:02He's crazy about watch...
34:06...oh, sure.
34:07Ooh.
34:08Well, it looks like someone's been playing...
34:10...with Dr. Foxy Chemicals.
34:12Caught you red-handed, so to speak.
34:13What?
34:15Isopropyl alcohol.
34:17In pure form, it can cause skin rashes...
34:20...if you were to use it to clean...
34:22...your skin of...
34:23...what?
34:24Blood, maybe.
34:26Detectives, I am a banker.
34:28I use sanitizer after every hand I shake, and I shake a lot of hands.
34:33If you wouldn't mind, I'd appreciate if you directed any other questions...
34:36...to my lawyer.
34:37Mm-hmm.
34:38I do.
34:39Uh, but in terms of getting to work on time...
34:42...I wouldn't worry...
34:43...so we...
34:44...took your advice.
34:45It's a copy of the search warrant that's gone to your branch...
34:49...so...
34:50...we might beat you there, but either way...
34:51...see you soon.
35:08Irregularities all over the place.
35:10Here's a student claiming $400,000...
35:12...over...
35:14...over...
35:14...over...
35:15...over...
35:15...season...
35:15...well, this client owns three homes...
35:18...on, uh, 2.4 million borrowed...
35:22...occupation...
35:23...patient...
35:25...hairgresser...
35:26...
35:26...ooh...
35:27...coffee ring and all.
35:29Oh, my God.
35:30If 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.
35:48Placing you under arrest.
35:50On what charge?
35:52Well, today...
35:53...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 did a rubber stamp for loans?
36:15Allegedly.
36:17The initial audit suggests it's been happening for over a year.
36:22Now, are you telling me your client...
36:23Theo, I thought we were having lunch.
36:26...you want to talk hypotheticals, I'm all ears.
36:30Otherwise...
36:31...alright...
36:31...alright, okay.
36:33...okay.
36:35...
36:37...
36:38...
36:38...apathetically speaking.
36:43...
36:43...
36:43...
36:43...
37:08...
37:08...
37:11...
37:12...
37:12...
37:13...
37:38...
37:39...
37:39...
37:39...
37:41...
37:41...
37:42...
37:43...
37:43...
37:43...
37:45...
37:46...
37:46...
37:47...
37:47...
37:49...
37:50...
37:50...
37:50we'll start talking in absolutes.
37:52...
37:54...
37:54Thanks for the shawarma.
37:56...
37:56...
38:01...
38:03...
38:05...
38:05...
38:06...
38:06...
38:10Where a murder weapon came from Grayson's armory
38:12Okay, but you know that just because it's not premeditated
38:16It'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, no, no, no, Grayson was attacked from behind by surprise
38:30He had a whole arsenal of weapons, but none in hand
38:34He wasn't the aggressor
38:36Yeah, not this time
38:38Exactly, that's the issue
38:40Grayson's a killer, Henning 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
39:00This whole thing's
39:02When one fraud collided with another
39:05If Henning in any way
39:06In any way
39:09Conspired to kill
39:12Foster
39:12Your self-defense goes out the window
39:17Yeah, you
39:18You connect
39:18Connect Henning
39:21To Timothy Fox
39:23I can put them away
39:25Back to fraud number one
39:30Joy of Joyce
39:36Hey
39:40How'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 out 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?
40:05I 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
40:35Is 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 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
40:58Um, Yigra
41:05Henning 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
41:12Conspiracy to commit
41:14If we can prove it
41:18He was an imposter
41:18Dina, excuse me
41:19But, um
41:21Henning told us
41:22That he was transferred
41:23To this branch
41:23A couple of years ago
41:24Do you know where from?
41:26Uh, Wellington Street branch
