TVTranscript
00:05In Toronto's War on Crime, the worst offenders are pursued by the detectives of the Specialized Criminal Investigations Unit.
00:13These are their stories.
00:15So there I was, center field, exhibition stadium, drunk as a skunk, no pants.
00:21Dave Steeb on the mound.
00:23So I says, pitch me one, Davey.
00:26I'll lend you a no-hitter.
00:28Oh, Betty, you're such a liar.
00:31Don't you believe me, Prim?
00:33Prim? Hey, it's Maggie, you dimwit.
00:35I've slept with half the man in here, so don't you dare call me Prim.
00:39Sorry.
00:40I'll tell you what, let me try on that swanky gold ring of yours, and then I'll call the square.
00:47Easy, Cleopatra. Mark Anthony here, and this is afternoon nap.
00:51And I guess you must be the, uh, Ashley.
00:56I wouldn't be alive without you.
00:58Just doing my job.
00:59I've met other social workers, Ethan. They judge. You care.
01:02Hmm.
01:04Which is why I got you something.
01:05Kyle, you know I can't accept gifts.
01:07It's not that kind of gift.
01:08What is it?
01:12The answer to the question you keep asking people.
01:23Ethan, what's up?
01:25You all right?
01:26You knew.
01:29Didn't you?
01:30All this time?
01:31Hey, why don't you get in the car? We'll talk.
01:34I don't want to get in your car. I want the truth.
01:39Be sure it's true when you say I love you.
01:47We accommodate all religious days and events, and on Sunday nights, your mom can sip a cocktail or boost,
01:55while she enjoys music she loves.
01:58Rose and Dario come by once a month to see their friend Benny and entertain.
02:02I mean, they're real hooters.
02:03Just because these words were spoken, I love you.
02:11Yes, I do.
02:12Oh, keep it clean, ma.
02:14Someone's going to have a heart attack.
02:16Oh, ma.
02:18Can you believe a mug like your dad tickling the ivories like that, Matteo?
02:22Apparently, Liberace used to roll briscine to get better at piano.
02:25That's true.
02:26No, Benny.
02:27When you say I love you, it's a sin to tell a lie.
02:42There you go.
02:47God, you smell good, honey.
02:54I can't get you out of my head.
02:56I know, buddy.
02:58I know.
03:03Shh, shh, shh.
03:06There he goes.
03:10Shh, shh, shh.
03:15Where are we going?
03:18It's so cold.
03:32Oh, Prim.
03:36How did we get here, baby?
03:39Oh, Prim.
03:48How did we get here, baby?
03:49How did we do it?
04:15How could we do it?
04:19How did we get here?
04:33His name's Benny Donahue. He came to Gracewood a year ago.
04:36Who found the body?
04:38One of the staff workers. In-house doctor pronounced him dead.
04:41He's about to wheel him inside, but I told him to back away and called you.
04:44Poor guy. It was only minus 12 last night.
04:47It would have taken three, four hours for the hypothermia to take him.
04:50So the home executive director said that this was not Benny's first late night outing.
04:56Apparently they found him wandering various parts of the park over the last month or so.
05:00This wasn't an accident.
05:02Slipper treads match these indents in the turf, but the indents are pointed, made with the balls of the feet.
05:07If Benny wheeled himself out, he'd be digging his heels in, dragging, not pushing.
05:11He didn't do this. Someone wore his slippers. Someone brought him out here to die.
05:16That mark on his left pinky finger.
05:19You know, frostbite starts at the very end of our extremities and works backwards.
05:23That mark's above the knuckle.
05:26Benny was wearing a ring and he was allergic to it.
05:28Blue skin, especially around his mouth and fingernails.
05:32That could just be the cold, but it might be cyanosis, lack of oxygen.
05:37Opiate overdose?
05:38It's possible it was freezing cold last night.
05:40Look at these sweat marks.
05:42Exposure, overdose.
05:44Combination of both.
05:45Now let's call it in.
05:47Who would do such a horrible thing to a sweet old man?
05:51Excuse me.
05:52Is this going to be much longer?
05:54At least she didn't snap her fingers at us.
05:57That was a good catch.
06:00Hey, can I ask you, what are you doing here?
06:03Am I suspect?
06:05Sorry, it's a force of habit.
06:07I was doing what I do every morning before work.
06:11Visiting my mom.
06:17Hi, mommy.
06:20Hi.
06:21How are you doing?
06:22It's a beautiful day out there.
06:24Next of kin is listed here as Benny's son, Dr. Sheldon Donahue.
06:28Does he visit?
06:29Is he here a lot?
06:30Don't know.
06:31I've never met him.
06:34Did Benny have a personal care worker?
06:37Yes.
06:37Gia Frank.
06:38She's off today.
06:39Okay.
06:39Well, we're going to need her number.
06:41We'd also like a list of all of Benny's visitors, please.
06:46Okay.
06:48Here it is.
06:52There are no visitors for an entire year?
06:55Not even his son?
06:56That's what the log says.
06:57You don't find that strange?
06:58Not at all.
06:58The lives of senior citizens are lonelier and sadder than the public cares to know.
07:03Was Benny an opiate addict?
07:05The file here says he had a prescription for buprenorphine.
07:08Benny had medication for a chronic back pain.
07:10It was bad.
07:11He could barely walk.
07:12Well, either way, I don't think Benny wheeled himself out into the dark with a head full of opiates.
07:18And as I'm sure you're well aware, any stories of negligence surrounding a care home, well, they seem to snowball
07:25in the press.
07:26So, Mrs. Malboff, your best look right now is your complete and total cooperation with this investigation.
07:36T-T-T-T-Tia.
07:39That's cute.
07:40Straight for voicemail.
07:50Bateman.
07:54Remember who you are.
07:57An affirmation?
07:59He was reading Mole Flanders.
08:01It's a story about repentance.
08:02Maybe remember who you are as a sign of a guilty conscience.
08:07Could be a threat from Benny's killer.
08:10It's lipstick, so perhaps it belongs to the elusive geos?
08:14Oh, well, let's get a car on our missing care worker.
08:18And in the meantime, let's you and I deliver the bad news in person.
08:22Find out why Dr. Andrew Donahue wasn't visiting his dad.
08:30Doctor, excuse me.
08:31I'm Detective Henry Graff.
08:33This is Detective Francesca Bateman, Toronto Police.
08:36Hi.
08:36How can I help?
08:37Well, Doctor, we've just come from Gracewood Manor.
08:40I'm so sorry to inform you that your father, Benjamin Donahue, passed away this morning.
08:46You're joking?
08:47My father died nine years ago.
08:54Doctor, do you recognize this man?
08:57Never seen him before in my life.
08:59So this is not Benjamin Donahue?
09:01No.
09:01Wait, are you saying this guy was pretending to be my dad?
09:05It's probably just a clerical error.
09:07We're very sorry to have bothered you.
09:16That's a nice piece.
09:18Mm-hmm.
09:19Solid gold.
09:20Where'd you get it?
09:21Friend gave it to me.
09:23Hmm.
09:24I'm just gonna go grab my loop.
09:26Okay.
09:27Okay.
09:40So, uh, how much you want for it?
09:44You know what?
09:45I changed my mind.
09:46I actually think I'm gonna keep it.
09:49What's your rush?
09:51Hey, get back here!
09:53Benny Donahue, John Doe, whatever his name is, suffered from NF1.
09:59Neurofibromatosis.
09:59You can see the telltale cafe au lait marks on his torso.
10:03I also found a fibroma growing in his spine.
10:06I wonder the poor guy could barely walk.
10:08I think Benny was a smoker trying to quit nicotine patch,
10:14although strangely his lungs were clear.
10:16And, detective, you were right.
10:17The discoloration around his pinky finger
10:20is most likely a reaction to the nickel
10:22used to fortify a 24-karat gold ring.
10:25Do you have a cause of death?
10:26Cause of death is hypothermia,
10:28but the massive amount of buprenorphine in his system didn't help.
10:32Well, that many opiates in his system,
10:34Benny wouldn't have made a peep.
10:36Also...
10:37Oh, the blue fingernails.
10:38No. Fingerprints.
10:40He has none.
10:42They're burned off chemically.
10:44What did our victim do for work?
10:46Well, we were hoping you could tell us that,
10:48because everything the retirement home has on him is fake.
10:51Well, hunch at the neck, tennis elbow.
10:55Well, maybe he worked with his hands.
11:00Who are you, Benny?
11:04Well, uniforms have a 20 on Gia.
11:09I didn't steal anything.
11:11No?
11:12Is that because of your religion?
11:14Um, no.
11:16Why?
11:16The menorah on your cupboard?
11:18No?
11:19Nothing?
11:20Rings no bells?
11:21What, the crappy brass candlestick?
11:23It was Benny's, wasn't it?
11:24You see, despite his phony Irish name,
11:26we know that Benny was suffering from neurofibromatosis,
11:30a genetic condition often seen in Ashkenazi Jews.
11:34He gave it to me.
11:35I was good to him.
11:36He wanted to think.
11:38Think me.
11:39What about the ring, Gia?
11:41Was that a gift, too?
11:42God, I don't have his stupid ring.
11:45Where were you last night between midnight and 4 a.m.?
11:47Booty call.
11:48Chad something.
11:50You can check my bumble.
11:51Yeah, you seem real beat up to learn that Benny died.
11:54Kind of comes with the job.
11:55Like dementia?
11:58When did you know he had it?
12:01Dementia, that...
12:02That wasn't in his chart.
12:04Well, it wouldn't be, would it?
12:05The symptoms had just started.
12:07That's why he asked to borrow your lipstick
12:08so he could write,
12:10Remember who you are, on his mirror.
12:12And that's why he wore the nicotine patch
12:14to stave off memory loss.
12:16Benny wanted to stay lucid.
12:18Okay.
12:19There may have been some signs.
12:21We're getting somewhere.
12:22Look, some people lose their memory,
12:24other people lose their filter.
12:25Say things they wouldn't normally say.
12:27It was hard to tell.
12:28Okay, so what kind of stuff was Benny saying?
12:30He used to always talk about some girl named Prim
12:32and how he once pinked a job from the Lucky
12:36for some guy, George Chuffalo, Chuffalo.
12:38George Chavalo?
12:40The boxer.
12:41I guess.
12:42So that's why he lasted so long against Allah?
12:45Ali.
12:46Muhammad Ali.
12:47Maple Leaf Gardens, 1966.
12:49Look, I don't know if any of it was true,
12:50but he was always very entertaining.
12:52Mm-hmm.
12:53Okay, Gia.
12:55Where's the ring?
12:55I threw it out.
12:56Honest!
12:57I tried to sell it at the Sherburn Pond,
12:59and the guy got really weird.
13:01Grabbed me.
13:01It was actually, like, really scary.
13:03So, bye-bye ring.
13:07What else can you tell us about this ring?
13:09It was gold, it was heavy.
13:10Any distinguishing features, markings?
13:13Yeah, actually, it had a carving of a bull on it.
13:16It wasn't like I was going to wear it.
13:17Not even a Taurus.
13:18No, you wouldn't wear that ring.
13:19It would clash with your new orange jumpsuit.
13:23What?
13:24Pinked a job means he made a suit with great care.
13:28Hunch on the neck, tennis elbow.
13:31Benny was a tailor.
13:32Yeah, maybe the lucky was a shop.
13:39Tom Ford as we live and breathe.
13:41Who?
13:41Tom Ford, the tailor?
13:43Designer?
13:44I thought he was the guy who made cars.
13:45No, that's me, Henry.
13:47What's your name?
13:49Joey.
13:49Joey.
13:50Joey, you ever seen this man before?
13:53Nah.
13:54Nah.
13:54Well, we're going to need a record of employment, a pay stub, maybe a number so we can call your
13:59boss.
13:59Come on, bro.
14:00Some guy has me cash to come in here and, like, and, like, you know what?
14:04Keep the lights on.
14:05Don't burn the place down.
14:06Mama sounds like a direct quote.
14:08Okay, cool.
14:10It's cool.
14:11Tell me, Joey, just, just between us, where in the store are you not allowed to go?
14:37Look at that, Judy.
14:39The middle seam's undone.
14:41What do we got?
14:50That's a Colt 1911.
14:52That's a beautiful piece.
14:57Serial numbers filed off, tape on the grip.
15:01And no fingerprints, access to sports celebrities.
15:04It wasn't a bull on Benny's ring.
15:06It was a cow with horns, a sign of strength in Calabria.
15:09You're thinking our Benny's mafia.
15:11I am.
15:13Judging by his gun collection, I think our Benny was a hitman.
15:24Benjamin Benny Cohen, a.k.a. Benny the Gent, a.k.a. The Mensch.
15:30Never married, never had any kids.
15:32Gia said he used to talk about a woman named Prim.
15:35Could be an ex-girlfriend, but so far we haven't found anyone with a name.
15:38Yep, first Jewish hitman in the Toronto mob.
15:41I've been hearing stories about Benny the Gent since I was a rookie.
15:46Kind of like the boogeyman of the underworld.
15:49An old commander told me once that when Benny was 20-something, a mob boss refused to pay him.
15:53So, Benny sneaks into the mob boss's house, puts a gun next to his sleeping son's head, and pulls the
16:01trigger.
16:01Boss comes running in.
16:03Benny looks at him and says,
16:04That's an extra zero on the end of what you owe me.
16:08How rich do you want to make me?
16:09This is exactly why it's going to be hard to narrow down a suspect.
16:13Benny was a person of interest in at least 15 murders over the course of 40 years.
16:17It's a lot of bad blood, a lot of underworld debt to pay.
16:21But since 2015, we have nothing on Benny Cohen.
16:24Find out which of our guys has eyes on the Calabrian mafia,
16:28and see if they can narrow down who exactly would want this man dead.
16:34I mean, as far as we know, Benny stopped working for the mob 9, 10 years ago.
16:39Nobody's hiring a hitman in a wheelchair.
16:41Detective Novak, if you were to take a wild guess,
16:44which one of these guys would want Benny dead after all these years?
16:49None of them.
16:50That's the thing.
16:50They're all getting old.
16:51They're moving to Florida.
16:52Calabrians have been very quiet lately.
16:54You know, it's unlike the mafia, the bear grudge.
16:56Sure.
16:57But Benny, Benny's freelance.
16:59He worked for all four leaders of the Calabrian mafia in Toronto.
17:02You think your answer's up there?
17:04You have to talk to all those guys.
17:07But, here's a word to the wise.
17:09No one's going to admit to even knowing Benny,
17:12and let alone employing him.
17:15You want one of the big boys to talk?
17:17You need to prove he had a solid connection to Benny,
17:19and I mean conclude.
17:21That's not going to be easy.
17:23This is why criminals love Canada.
17:25We are one of the most opaque jurisdictions in the world
17:28when it comes to identifying the president of a company.
17:31Numbered company, owned by numbered company.
17:33Another title search, another ghost.
17:34All we need is a connection to Benny.
17:37I mean, if we can find any kind of payment,
17:39we can cross-reference it with mob-style killings at the same time.
17:42Okay, but without a clear paper trail,
17:44I won't be able to tell which family paid what.
17:46We need to put names to these numbers.
17:50Hey, look, I just wanted to say,
17:54maybe it's none of my business,
17:56but if you ever need anything or you wanted to talk,
18:01I'm here, okay?
18:03You know that, right?
18:05It's dementia.
18:06Early onset.
18:08Oh, God, Mark, I'm so sorry.
18:10That just happened so quickly.
18:11One day she's living an independent life,
18:13the next she's stuck in the middle of the 401
18:15because she can't remember how to drive.
18:16Jeez, jeez.
18:18How's she doing now?
18:20She's forgotten most of the basics.
18:22Names, dates.
18:23Doesn't even remember me half the time.
18:25A brother and I compete with each other
18:27to try to get her to say our names.
18:29He sings her ABBA,
18:30I bring her Baskin-Robbins pralines and cream.
18:33Once in a while, she remembers us.
18:35Says, thank you, baby, or I love you, Mark.
18:39Makes everything worth it.
18:42Hey, this got Benny's bank records released.
18:46It should be up on the server.
18:48Okay, now we're talking.
18:51$10,000 deposited monthly going back years.
18:54Last deposit was a week ago.
18:55Depositor?
18:58Numbered company, surprise, surprise.
19:00No name attached.
19:01It was briefly set up at a retail space in Mississauga.
19:04And it was sold by...
19:06Agent's name is Matteo Galati.
19:09Galati.
19:10Son of my boss, Dario Galati?
19:12A.K.A.
19:14Il Machilayo.
19:16The butcher.
19:17His signature dish was flaying people who betrayed him.
19:21Dario used his numbered company
19:22to keep Benny's payments off his books.
19:24Why would Dario be sending monthly payments
19:26if Benny was retired?
19:28Maybe Dario got sick of paying for a hitman
19:30who couldn't hit anymore,
19:31especially one with an occipital lobe
19:33that was turning him into a chatty Cathy.
19:36Hey, buddy.
19:38You better get your story straight.
19:39Homicide is sniffing around.
19:56You put it up like this.
19:57With your right hand, this hand,
19:58you turn it toward you,
19:59and with your left hand,
20:01you turn it away from you, all right?
20:05Detectives?
20:05You could have called.
20:06I wouldn't have answered.
20:07Ah, we saw that the shop was open,
20:09took the chance you'd be here.
20:11I'm a little peckish.
20:12So, uh, the murder police show up unannounced
20:14while I'm working with my family
20:16with a line down the block.
20:18You know, people did, uh,
20:19start thinking the wrong thing.
20:20Oh, what would the wrong thing be?
20:22That a baker used to be a butcher?
20:24Il Machilayo.
20:26Sofia Beleza, come with you.
20:32So, what can I do for you?
20:34Look, Dario, we understand your need
20:36for the sweet old man act,
20:38but it's not for us.
20:39We know who you are,
20:39and that ring on your pinky
20:41says it loud and clear.
20:42We just want to know where you were
20:44the night that Benny Cohen was murdered.
20:47So, you know who I am, huh?
20:50If that were true,
20:51you'd know that Benny and me,
20:53we were like brothers.
20:54Well, Cain and Abel were brothers.
20:58Well, if Abel saved Cain's life,
21:00then things would have turned out
21:01different for them.
21:02Not so many saved your life.
21:05Matter of fact, he did.
21:06Ten years ago, I had a home invasion.
21:08These two lowlifes tied up,
21:10me and my son, Mateo,
21:11and they robbed us.
21:12And when they figured out who I was...
21:14They couldn't risk leaving you alive.
21:17Exactly.
21:17And if Benny hadn't shown up
21:19exactly when he did...
21:21So I have nothing but love for that man.
21:24So much so that I pulled strings
21:27and I paid to put him in a private care home
21:30when he couldn't walk properly anymore.
21:32Well, you also paid him ten grand a month
21:35for the last ten years.
21:36The numbered company that paid Benny
21:38was connected to a building
21:40that your son sold.
21:41My son is a real estate agent.
21:43He has nothing to do with my business.
21:46Nothing.
21:47When was the last time you saw Benny?
21:49Did you ever visit him in his suite?
21:50I don't remember.
21:51You don't remember?
21:52Oh, that's an interesting choice of words
21:54considering Benny was suffering from dementia.
21:57Benny had dementia?
21:59Yeah.
21:59And you know what?
22:00We heard it was starting to make him
22:01a little bit talkative.
22:02I don't know.
22:03Maybe you had some secrets with him
22:05that you wouldn't want spilled.
22:08I didn't know that Benny had dementia.
22:12It's kind of good that he went the way he did.
22:14It was probably a kindness of God.
22:15It would have killed us
22:16to watch him go through that.
22:18Enough to take matters into your own hands?
22:22The night Benny died,
22:24I was at the Mount Dennis Legion.
22:27Charity poker game.
22:28You know what?
22:30Here.
22:31Enjoy him on your way out.
22:34Well, his grief seemed real,
22:36but I once knew a mob guy
22:38who swore he never beat his wife
22:40even when I found him standing over in a dead body.
22:42Yeah, well,
22:44empty visitor's log has a mob written all over it.
22:48Still begs the question, though.
22:49Who else was left off?
22:52So you're still saying
22:54that Benny had no visitors for an entire year.
22:56I showed you the visitor's log.
22:58Okay, see,
22:58that's the thing about being married to the mob, Charlotte.
23:02It makes telling the truth a little harder, doesn't it?
23:04Mob boss shows up with his best friend,
23:06tells you to look after him.
23:08Well, I bet you're gonna do what he says.
23:12Now we get it.
23:13These are scary people.
23:15But you,
23:16you're on a tight ship, huh?
23:18Look at that.
23:19Jealous.
23:21So where are the names?
23:23To be clear,
23:24all I did was agree to keep the log empty.
23:26Okay.
23:27So,
23:27who do we not know about?
23:29A few weeks ago,
23:30my assistant didn't get the memo
23:32about not entering Benny's visitors.
23:35She entered a name into the log.
23:37I arrived and...
23:38Deleted it.
23:41What was the name?
23:42I don't remember the last name,
23:43but the first name's Ethan.
23:46So no Ethan's associated with mob hits in the 90s.
23:51And nothing in the aughts or the teens,
23:55nothing in Hamilton,
23:56nothing in Montreal.
23:59What about civilian murders?
24:01Maybe this wasn't connected to a mob hit.
24:07Okay.
24:09Oh.
24:11Uh,
24:12not exactly a civilian,
24:14but narcotics officer,
24:16Vincent O'Hagan,
24:17was murdered on Lake Simcoe.
24:19A case file says that Benny was briefly suspect
24:22due to the gun that was used,
24:23but then it got attributed to a string of B and E's,
24:26but...
24:27Survived by his wife, Angela O'Hagan,
24:30and his son, Ethan O'Hagan.
24:33Okay, Ethan O'Hagan works in corrections
24:35as a social worker.
24:37So we got the son of a slain police officer
24:41working with hardened criminals,
24:43his father's death unsolved.
24:45Maybe Ethan hoped to find out
24:46who killed his father
24:47by working with the only people in the world
24:49who would know.
24:51Other killers.
24:53Maybe you finally found the right suspect.
25:04So, Ethan,
25:05who told you that Benny Cohen killed your father?
25:08Benny who?
25:09Uh, Benny who?
25:10Your father was a cop.
25:11He was murdered at a fishing cabin
25:14on Lake Simcoe.
25:15Wasn't even on the job,
25:17just trying to relax,
25:18catch a few carp.
25:19It was a senseless, awful murder.
25:22And you wanted revenge.
25:23I said I don't know any Benny.
25:24Well, the staff at Gracewood Manor
25:27said that you visited Benny
25:28in his suite three weeks ago.
25:30Do you want to keep playing this game?
25:36One thing I've learned on the job,
25:39cellmates talk.
25:40One of them squawked, huh?
25:42You've been doing this job, what, five years?
25:44That's a lot of dangerous men you talk to.
25:47Did you ask them all?
25:48Wouldn't you?
25:50You thought you could find out
25:51who killed your father?
25:52Sure, he was your hero.
25:53It became an obsession.
25:55You wanted justice.
25:56Hero.
25:57Right.
25:58He was a decorated officer.
25:59Look, everything you're saying is true.
26:03Yes, I wanted to find my father's killer.
26:05And yes, I planned to kill him when I did.
26:09So, Ethan, did you?
26:15I couldn't.
26:17I went to see Benny at the home.
26:19I confronted him about everything.
26:22It was so weird.
26:24Benny didn't duck from it.
26:25He admitted to killing my father.
26:27He was regretful.
26:30Atoning, even.
26:31He told me things about my father I never knew.
26:34Like what?
26:35Like the fact that my dad was on the mafia payroll.
26:38Excuse me?
26:40Yeah, I, uh, I threw up after Benny told me that one.
26:46But after I thought about it, it all made sense.
26:48My dad had been taking money from the Galati family
26:51since he graduated from police college.
26:53Ethan, did Benny tell you why the mob wanted your father dead?
26:58You ever hear of some stash house that got held up back in 2010?
27:01Yeah, James 10 Towers, a masked assailant.
27:04Took down three Calabrian soldiers and two innocent bystanders.
27:08One of them a six-year-old kid.
27:11It was my father.
27:17Apparently, Dad felt he wasn't being paid enough.
27:21So, uh, he decided to get himself a little cash bonus before Christmas.
27:29I spent my whole life trying to get justice for a good man that, um,
27:36well, he never existed.
27:39Who was Vincent O'Hagan's partner when he was killed?
27:43Ethan knew we were coming.
27:45Maybe he still has a contact in the force.
27:49Jesus.
27:55Okay.
27:58God gave him one face.
27:59He gave himself another.
28:08What can I get you, Detective Novak?
28:11Uh, is your... is your husband here?
28:12No.
28:14Oh.
28:14Can I give him a message?
28:15Yeah, sure.
28:16I just wanted to say how sorry I was to hear about Benny Cohen, really.
28:20Benny was a good man.
28:21Knew how to keep his mouth shut.
28:23At least until recently, I heard he was getting a little sloppy.
28:25You want to get to the point?
28:27Sure.
28:28If Benny happened to mention anything to you or your husband about me,
28:31I suggest you just forget it.
28:32Or at least keep it to yourselves.
28:36There are plenty more folders where that came from.
28:52You got you, got you.
28:53Come on down.
28:53Walsh, come on.
28:54You got to pass the ball sometime.
28:55I'm open.
28:57Put it up, put it up.
28:58Hawkins, it's all you.
29:00Don't let me down.
29:04Detectives, any news on Benny Cohen?
29:07Ah, Ethan O'Hagan, son of your former partner, Vincent.
29:12Benny killed Vincent.
29:15Ethan found out and wanted revenge.
29:18Ethan?
29:19Yes.
29:20There's no way.
29:22You and Vincent were partners for, what, eight years?
29:24Were you close?
29:25Come on, guys.
29:27Your partner's your family.
29:28So how'd it feel when Ethan told you Benny had killed your family?
29:32It was 15 years ago.
29:35Wounds heal.
29:36You guys are done trying to shake me down for Benny Cohen's murder.
29:40I'm just going to get back to my game.
29:42Wounds heal.
29:43Well, I would say that.
29:46Wounds heal.
29:48This wasn't about revenge, baby.
29:51No, we were wrong.
29:53This was about betrayal.
29:55You knew Benny was the first suspect.
29:57And you also knew your partner was on the take, didn't you?
30:00The question is, when did you find out he was dirty?
30:03Before or after?
30:04Look, detectives, uh...
30:05If somebody murdered my partner, it'd take 500 years for my wounds to heal.
30:10But you seem awfully copacetic.
30:13Copacetic with maybe a little tinge of guilt?
30:16What are you suggesting?
30:18Officially, Vincent was on sick leave, yeah?
30:20But he was actually in hiding, wasn't he?
30:22The fishing cabin where he was killed.
30:24Lake Simcoe.
30:25That cabin was owned by your old captain.
30:28We all had access to it.
30:29Vincent's murder was attributed to a string of B&Es, so we stopped looking at the mob.
30:34Because you made sure that that happened.
30:36Right, Novak?
30:37Because you couldn't have anyone asking how Benny knew where Vincent was, because Vincent
30:42didn't tell anybody, not even his wife.
30:44No.
30:45The partners?
30:46The partners always know more than the wives.
30:49Okay, look, this...
30:50This is insane.
30:51Benny Cohen knew your deepest, darkest secret, and we believe you killed him, so he wouldn't
30:57share it.
30:57No.
30:58No.
30:59For 15 years.
31:00For 15 years, I never touched that guy.
31:04I didn't have to.
31:05What do you mean?
31:07Look, just to be clear, I'm not saying that I gave up my partner that night.
31:11This is...
31:13This is all hypothetical, right?
31:15Sure.
31:16Okay.
31:19Hypothetically, let's say someone very frightening does threaten your wife and your children,
31:26and all you need to do is give him an address, a dirty cop goes down, and your family stays
31:35safe, right?
31:38Let's say you are terrified, and let's say that you do it.
31:43It all goes down, you wake up the next morning when your wife brings you pancakes, and then
31:47she tells you a funny story about leaving the key in the lock overnight, again, and then
31:54you realize, and you are never going to be safe.
31:58Not without insurance.
32:02So you got insurance.
32:05You tracked Benny, you followed him, and you got a secret on him.
32:09Come on, Novak.
32:10It's over.
32:11Benny's dead.
32:13You want to tell us a secret?
32:15I guess it doesn't matter anymore.
32:20Benny Cohen was having an affair with Rose Galati.
32:25Dario Galati's wife, and I've got pictures to prove it.
32:37Rose Galati and Benny Cohen.
32:39These were Novak's insurance policy.
32:41Yes, they were.
32:42Let me get it straight.
32:44Vincent O'Hagan robs a mob stash house, kills five people.
32:49The mob hires Benny Cohen to retaliate.
32:52Benny threatens Vincent's partner to find out Vincent's location, and Novak gives it up.
32:59Cops served up to the mob by his partner?
33:04This is going to be a garbage fire.
33:05It's a dirty cop who killed a kid at a stash house robbery.
33:09I can't hear the difference.
33:10I'm just saying, look, I kind of feel for Novak.
33:13I mean, look, if somebody threatened my kid, I don't know what I would do.
33:19But Novak is not admitting to anything just yet.
33:21But it won't take much to prove now that we know.
33:23Okay, leave it with me.
33:25I need to start making some calls.
33:27God, is it going to be a long night?
33:29Theo, please, if you can, stay and talk this through with me.
33:33Of course.
33:34I was thrilled to get out of that dinner.
33:37We need to find Benny's killer now.
33:39I need to be able to assure my bosses that no more police were corrupted in the making of this
33:44movie.
33:45Well, Dario Galati, our suspect number one.
33:48Mafia have a code.
33:49You fool around with the boss's wife, you die.
33:52More than that, Dario trusted Benny as if he was his own blood.
33:56Gave him a ring that would normally only go to a made man.
33:59It wasn't just a gift.
34:00It was a show of loyalty, an act of love.
34:04Now, imagine that outsider, the one that you've treated like a brother,
34:09has been sleeping with your wife for your entire marriage.
34:11Fought by Benny.
34:12Do we know where Dario was that night?
34:14By his rock solid, but he's the boss.
34:16They seldom want blood on their hands.
34:19Great, we're back to the button, man.
34:21Who is the new Benny in the Calabrian mob?
34:24You don't worry.
34:24We're on it.
34:25Good.
34:26I want this over.
34:35Thank you for the ride, my love.
34:37It's fine.
34:38I know you don't like driving.
34:39Uh, Mateo, before Benny died, did you talk at all?
34:44Did he say anything strange or out of the ordinary?
34:48What do you mean?
34:49I don't know.
34:50I'm just wondering what he was thinking.
34:54The day before, he asked me to come visit him, but I didn't have time.
35:01I feel bad now.
35:03Don't feel bad.
35:05Benny wouldn't want that.
35:09Grazie, amore.
35:39Marco, the ghost, Moretti, Luca, Lucky, Ferraro.
35:40And for himself, it was too personal not to.
35:42Maybe, except, uh, Il Machuilayo.
35:45I mean, pushing an old man out in the cold to freeze to death.
35:48Oh, it's a little tame for a man who's known for flaying people.
35:54You know, it almost looks like the work of a civilian.
36:00Like a son, maybe?
36:01Yeah, but I thought Mateo wasn't following in his father's footsteps.
36:04Yeah, except Benny was sleeping with his mother, humiliating his father.
36:08Maybe that was enough to bring him back home.
36:12Pull him back in?
36:13As you can see, the old owners didn't like cheap things.
36:17And there's nothing cheap about this view.
36:20Or these floors.
36:22These babies.
36:22Blonde maple.
36:24Hand-milled.
36:25That's very good.
36:26He likes to show off.
36:28I do.
36:29Especially this little guy.
36:31Do you mind?
36:33Why don't you go check out the wine cellar?
36:35I'll be down in a second.
36:39Detective, I'm not sure if you've heard,
36:41but I don't bake.
36:43Maybe not, but what you did assault a man
36:45when you were 15 for insulting your father, was it?
36:49And on the night that Benny Cohen died,
36:51your car was a block away from Gracewood Manor.
36:58Seems Orwell was right.
37:00Big brother is watching.
37:01Well, he can watch what he likes,
37:03because I was home asleep that night.
37:05So your car just wandered off?
37:08Benny saved my life.
37:09He was like an uncle to me.
37:11And I've seen that trick before.
37:12You've been playing it on my family for years.
37:14Get a new one.
37:14That photo is real.
37:16So we could get a warrant for the GPS to corroborate it,
37:19or you could just...
37:20Tell us the truth.
37:21Save everyone a lot of trouble.
37:23I was home, I swear to you.
37:25I'm gonna tell you, wait.
37:26Did Benny tell you something before he died?
37:28Did he try to pull you aside, maybe?
37:30No.
37:31No, why does everyone keep asking me that?
37:33Who's everyone?
37:37You know what?
37:38You wanna keep chatting?
37:40Talk to my lawyer.
37:41We're done.
37:44Okay, Graf, what's going on?
37:47Well, the kid just showed his hand.
37:51We're closed.
37:52We're not here for the grassini, as delicious as they are.
37:55Mom, you almost ready to head home?
37:58If you're looking for Dario, he's not.
37:59We're not here for Dario either.
38:01We'd like to talk to you and your son.
38:03Let's hope for all our sakes that this conversation ends before your husband arrives.
38:11Ah, there he is.
38:12Prodigal son.
38:15I told you this afternoon.
38:16Talk to my lawyer.
38:18We will.
38:19We just want to clear a few things up first.
38:21Yeah, I find baking an interesting choice up front for organized crime.
38:26Hmm?
38:28Bread.
38:30Manna.
38:32Food from the gods.
38:34All made possible by a reaction of yeast.
38:38Feeding on sugar.
38:39A fungus getting rich off the sweet, off the innocent.
38:44Carnage in history created by something as simple as mixing flour with water.
38:53You see, baking has a recipe, and the mafia has a code.
38:58Strict rules of loyalty and retribution.
39:01And if those rules aren't followed as closely as a recipe, well, it's mayhem.
39:05But I can't help but notice that brown mark on your hand, Mateo.
39:10My hand?
39:10Yeah, you have another one on your neck.
39:12Probably have a few more on your chest.
39:13Might want to see a doctor.
39:15I did.
39:15They said they're just birthmarks.
39:17Well, that's because she didn't know that one of your parents had neurofibromatosis.
39:22It's passed down from a parent to a child.
39:25Detectives, please.
39:26My parents don't have that.
39:27Ma?
39:30Is that what Benny had?
39:32It's why I had trouble walking.
39:33He had a tumor in his spine.
39:35Ma?
39:36What are you saying?
39:37I think you know what she's saying, Mateo.
39:41Maybe you've always known it deep down that Benny is your biological father.
39:49And you, Prim.
39:51Prim Rose.
39:52The girl that Benny could never stop pining for.
39:55You know, when I found out that Benny had been drugged, I assumed the killer was just wanting to keep
40:01him quiet.
40:02But it was really an act of kindness, wasn't it, Mateo?
40:05You knew Benny had to go before Dario found out the truth.
40:09Because loose lips, they sink ships.
40:12But even so, you didn't want Benny to suffer.
40:14Because you loved him, didn't you?
40:16Like only a son can.
40:18What?
40:19No!
40:20Your car was a block away from Gracewood the night that Benny was killed.
40:23You can't account for your whereabouts on that night, and now, look at that, we have motive.
40:27No, please.
40:28I think it's about time we call your lawyer.
40:29No, Mateo wasn't driving his car that night.
40:32I was.
40:39I took it out of the driveway.
40:40He has nothing to do with this.
40:41Mateo, please go.
40:42Wait in the front, all right?
40:43I'm not going anywhere.
40:44Please, someone explain to me what is going on!
40:47Benny was saying things.
40:50Secret things.
40:52Things that, if Dario found out...
40:54Dario would have to honor the code and kill his beloved friend in the most gruesome way possible.
41:00If Benny knew what he was doing, betraying the promises we made to each other, he would have done it
41:04himself.
41:05You don't know that.
41:09You can't know what was in his mind.
41:11No one can.
41:12And dementia or not, these people are still in there.
41:15They still appreciate kindness.
41:17They still feel love.
41:19So what?
41:20Let him be butchered?
41:22When you work for my husband, he puts a card in your hand and lights it on fire.
41:28And says, as this card burns, so will you burn alive if you betray me.
41:34And he means it.
41:35So you tell me, what was I supposed to do?
41:38Let my son be burnt alive?
41:40Let him see his mother die?
41:42Let my husband torture Benny to death?
41:44No, so you just left him out in the cold and was dead.
41:48It wasn't like that.
41:50No?
41:52I went by his side.
41:55I played her favorite song.
41:58Poured him his favorite scotch and made it so that he wouldn't feel pain.
42:06And I held his hand as long as I could before I died.
42:16What I did was a mercy.
42:20And maybe so.
42:21But it was also murder.
42:25Please, detective, let my mother go, okay?
42:27Take me.
42:28We'll say that it was an argument.
42:30A debt that Benny couldn't pay.
42:31We'll say that I did it.
42:32If my father finds out about this...
42:34If your father finds out what?
42:36What's going on here?
42:37Dad.
42:39Yamalini, let's go outside.
42:40Let them finish up.
42:41Yeah.
42:42What's going on here, Ross?
42:46Oh.
42:58What do you think Dario's gonna do now that he knows who Matteo really is?
43:02He'll stick with the code?
43:03Destroy his own son?
43:05I hope not.
43:06I hope not.
43:07Codes, vows, words.
43:09And there's one thing you learn on the job is that everything can be broken.
43:15What do you think Dario's gonna do now?
43:22What do you think Dario's gonna do now?
43:25What do you think Dario's gonna do now?
