00:00Oh, and I am not here to be remembered.
00:02Peter, stop it. You're making me look like you wrote it.
00:04Worth remembering.
00:06Miss Matthews, you used to work as a litigator for the very industries that are destroying our planet.
00:11Why should we trust you as our environment minister?
00:13Every time that I went to court, I told myself that someone needed to defend these companies.
00:18And someone does.
00:19But not me.
00:20Not anymore!
00:22You see, I know these guys, and I know how to fight them.
00:25And now I am here to defend our country.
00:27Our land.
00:28Our lakes.
00:30I am here to make this country a better place for our children, for my son.
00:40Charles, with respect, the board never understood your decision in the first place.
00:44With respect, I don't really care.
00:47The land is useless to this company.
00:49I strongly encourage you to get rid of it.
00:52I have a good feeling about this.
00:55Housekeeping!
01:09Peter, have you seen my phone?
01:13Calendar updated.

07:18claire will be missed every day
07:24no luck finding peter jogging on the belt line yet good thing to know that there's a place in the
07:28city you can still go without being watched but you were right about the bird lover on the eighth
07:33floor here's the footage from their bird feeder camera it doesn't show the balcony but the audio
07:38picked up claire talking to someone really yeah here hang on i enhanced it

07:55then it was murder 10 14 a.m wait uh talking to cameras your bad guy knows how to avoid
08:03them
08:03according to the lobby cameras after the husband and son left no one went up to claire's condo until
08:07the police arrived then how did a killer get inside yes there were cameras in the lobby so claire
08:13came up with a hack as she does did we started using this service entrance during the campaign
08:19no press no nosy doorman no enemies no fans we all who's all everyone me the family her volunteers
08:27her press secretary we all had a key to the condo it was pretty come and go until do you
08:31mind
08:31telling us where you were monday morning like serious i worshipped claire and on monday morning
08:38i was picking up a jacket that she left at the archer hotel what was she doing there she had
08:43a
08:43meeting i'm not allowed to talk about i guess violation of privacy well claire matthews was murdered
08:54so we need to get a sense of who she was the company she kept anything at all would help
08:59there was no business happening in those meetings unless you mean dirty business do you have any
09:05idea how much damage redwood's pills will do to egyptian cotton look like a murder scene no joke
09:10wow that's a keeper can you uh airdrop that to me sure so claire matthews was having sex with someone
09:18here did you ever get a look at them tall older guy was it him her husband peter no but
09:27that's the
09:27guy that got banned from the hotel a few weeks ago there's a photo of him posted in the security
09:31office she talked to ronald three weeks ago 5 45 p.m oh and our cameras don't have audio due
09:38to
09:38privacy laws but you'll get the gist
09:48had to send security down to break it up it's your own paradise hasmaid finds out she's having an
09:53affair that could be enough to send them both over the edge i gotta say you've got the worst luck
09:58with
09:58cameras out of anyone i think i've ever met i've been doing this a while but we can't find a
10:02single
10:03frame of you on this running trail the day of your wife's murder and yet here you are
10:08assaulting her at a hotel that must have been a painful day for you i mean you give everything
10:15to claire work around the clock to make her dreams come true and then you find out that she's sleeping
10:20with someone else i was heartbroken i thought of packing up everything leaving that night i thought
10:25of leaking it to the press i thought about destroying her career so what did you do
10:32i decided to accept it my wife she didn't love me anymore and apparently there's nothing you can do
10:37about that we discussed it and she decided that once we got to ottawa we would split
10:43quietly and she would facilitate a lateral move for me well that sounds remarkably cordial
10:50under the circumstances but uh unfortunately we still can't corroborate your wear
10:54okay wait wait wait hold on please look when i run there's a guy that i see there all the
10:59time
10:59he's got a blue rbc jacket he's got these bright orange running shoes and i definitely passed him
11:04that day all right we'll see mom was acting weird not bad just different different now like her mood
11:14she seemed really happy but distracted you don't want to vote
11:22she'd never admit it but i think she was cheating on peter why do you think that because these gifts
11:27would show up what kind of gifts flowers mostly uh book of poetry i remember one time peter was out
11:33camping some restaurant delivered coconut cream pie all the notes said was xoxo what was the uh color of the
11:42box i'm assuming the pie came in a box yeah it was uh navy blue now the only restaurant that
11:52i know
11:52that serves coconut cream pie in a navy box is bardi's i hate that place what's wrong with bardi's
11:59it's fancy you like food and you got the biggest shrimp in town i had to spend every birthday there
12:04no pizzas no bouncy castles i didn't know what a birthday cake was until i could shave
12:14morning i'm sorry we're not open just yet we're with the toronto police i'm detective bateman this
12:19is detective graf henry is that you it's been years andre yes it's been a while henry used to come
12:27in
12:27here all the time as a kid we'd have to make him special plates so that his food would not
12:32touch the
12:32other food we have a few questions regarding an ongoing investigation has he always been this charming
12:38from day one do you recognize this woman name of claire matthews yes she was in here a few times
12:46do you happen to remember if she was with anyone
12:49she was here with your father my father
13:02well that certainly complicates things well i can tell you right now that andre's already on the
13:07phone with him so let's pay the old man a visit uh i don't think that's a good idea oh
13:13come on he
13:13lives ten minutes away a couple questions won't hurt and if things turn weird even a little weird we're
13:18in here we're going to go out graph come on gaitman i'm the picture of a professional this is where
13:29you
13:29grew up no not really i was only here when i wasn't at school moved out first chance i got
13:40Henry?
13:44It's good to see you. What's it been, 10 years?
13:47Come in. Come in.
13:50Charles Graff, lovely meet you.
13:52Frankie Babin. Detective Babin.
13:58Can you tell us about your relationship with Claire Matthews?
14:09The fact that you're here tells me you already know that Claire and I were seeing each other romantically.
14:15A little over six months now.
14:16So you're aware of her death?
14:17Yes, I heard it on the news, just like everybody else.
14:21I was under the impression that she took her own life. Is that true?
14:24Would that surprise you?
14:29Yes. Claire seemed happy, fulfilled.
14:32We were madly in love.
14:35Suicide seems completely out of character.
14:37So what did you get out of your relationship with Claire, huh?
14:40Was it sex, excitement, access to power?
14:43You rarely get close to someone without an angle.
14:46I didn't have an angle.
14:47I told you, I adored Claire.
14:50Hence the gifts, huh?
14:52You see, if my father wants someone or something from someone, he carpet bombs them with gifts.
14:58Desserts, books, flowers.
15:01Tie pins.
15:03It was my grandfather's.
15:05Which I gave to you.
15:06First day at Lakefield College, wasn't it?
15:08Gift giving isn't a psychological warfare tactic.
15:12It's my way of showing affection, Henry.
15:15You of all people should know that by now.
15:18God knows I've tried to reach you.
15:21I do know.
15:23But I also know if you love someone and they cross you, things usually don't go well for them.
15:29Claire didn't cross me.
15:30That's not a denial.
15:31Okay, that's enough.
15:34Henry, I'm serious.
15:36We're leaving.
15:42Mr. Griff.
15:47My inciting in my father could prove a vital asset to this investigation.
15:53No, you're compromised.
15:55I'm compromised.
15:56I'm compromised.
15:56My father is a morally bankrupt, high-functioning sociopath who always has an angle.
16:01And I guarantee you, if he killed his latest lover, it's because she withheld something from him.
16:06Okay, so what was his angle with Claire Matthews?
16:09Well, I don't know yet, but leave me on the case and I'll find out.
16:13Graff, the answer is no.
16:16And that is final.
16:17Bateman can run this without you.
16:24So what do I do in the meantime?
16:27I don't know. Maybe trust your partner.
16:29Work another case, or better yet, why don't you take some vacation days, go room around the ATO,
16:34or however it is that you choose to spend your spare time.
16:41I'm a McMichael gallery man myself.
16:44You know, it's basic to love the group of seven, but, uh, fantastic.
16:51Inspector?
16:53Bateman?
16:55I took that a little better than I expected.
16:58I think even Graff knows that if he's bound to be investigating his own father as a murder suspect,
17:04our entire case against the man gets washed away at trial.
17:08Hold the door, please.
17:09So, who the hell is Charles Graff?
17:39Excuse me.
17:41Excuse me.
17:42Excuse me.
17:42Miss?
17:43What can I do for you?
17:45I'm Owen Matthews.
17:46Did you know my mom, Claire?
17:49I did.
17:51I found this.
17:54I know you were having an affair.
17:57So, like, were you gonna move to Ottawa?
17:59Did you talk about that?
18:01I don't know.
18:02Did you talk about taking me with you?
18:07I'm sorry.
18:07We've never talked about you at all.
18:21Keep it nearby for me, would you?
18:23Of course, Mr. Graff.
18:29Excuse me, sir.
18:30Uh, my father, he just said he left his meds in the car.
18:34He wants me to take him out.
18:35He's gotta take him three times a day, you know?
18:38Keeps forgetting.
18:39Sorry, and you are?
18:40Oh, uh, Henry is some Henry Graff.
18:43Here.
18:45Yeah.
18:47Yeah, I don't know.
18:49You know what?
18:49You're just doing your job.
18:50It's okay.
18:51Let's just, uh, cross our fingers and hope he doesn't have another heart attack.
18:55Sir.
19:14Monday the 26th, on St. George Street.
19:17You were at Claris.
19:19I knew it.
19:25So, I've been looking into Charles Graff.
19:27He's been married twice, has two sons, Henry and Miles.
19:30His second marriage ended in a vicious divorce.
19:32And his first marriage was to Graff's mother, who died in 1987.
19:38Maggie Graff, formerly Maggie Graham,
19:41handed herself in her Paris apartment when Graff was 12.
19:44Death was ruled a suicide by Paris police.
19:47Yeah.
19:49But, uh, I think Graff believes his father killed her.
19:53They asked for a copy of the case files from Paris PD.
19:56They said they'd send them over as soon as possible.
19:58Okay.
19:59Inspector, Claire Matthews' death looked like a suicide.
20:01So did Maggie's.
20:02I'm not saying it's a pattern, but I think that's what he's reacting to.
20:06Yeah.
20:07Agreed.
20:08So if Charles Graff always had an angle, what was his angle with Claire Matthews?
20:12Well, he runs Titan Incorporated.
20:15Land development, pulp and paper, mining.
20:18Mining?
20:20Who's the CEO of a major corporation with mining interests doing sleeping with the newly appointed Minister of Environment?
20:26That's a lot of angles.
20:28That's what I'm saying.
20:30You're taking it on the road?
20:32Yeah.
20:32Yeah.
20:33Why, you want to join me?
20:35Hell yeah.
20:36I used to be a cop.
20:38Give me ten minutes or I'll meet you in the parking lot.
20:46Morning.
20:46Hey.
20:47I didn't expect to see you today.
20:49Oh, I thought I'd catch up on some paperwork.
20:53How's the case going?
20:54What?
20:56He's coming.
20:57Mm-hmm.
20:59Look.
21:00We found that other jogger on CCTV near the west exit off the belt line.
21:04We tracked him down and he confirmed the husband's alibi.
21:07So.
21:09Mm-hmm.
21:15Hey, I'm so sorry about all of this.
21:19Frankie, it's fine.
21:21As long as you're making progress.
21:23You are.
21:25Yeah.
21:45Yay.
21:46Yay.
21:47Yay.
21:48Yay.
21:49Yay.
21:51Yay.
21:51Yay.
21:54Yay.
21:55Say I'm a Iris.
22:27Okay, so six months ago, one of Charles' companies bought up a ton of land near McFaul's Lake in James
22:33Bay.
22:34Now, that entire area is a rare earth element motherlode. It's why they call it the Ring of Fire.
22:39Yeah, but no one can mine it right now. It's been put under protection by the federal government pending review.
22:44What if he was trying to change Claire's mind?
22:46Woo her with coconut cream pies so she would remove the protections?
22:50As Minister of Environment, she would have the kind of influence to make that happen.
22:53But instead, she doubled down on her environmental commitment. She's loud and she's proud about it.
22:59Maybe Charles got angry when all that land he bought was worthless.
23:03Oh, angry enough to kill her.
23:08Owen, your stepfather in?
23:11Yeah, come in.
23:13Peter, the police are here.
23:18Where's your trash?
23:20Uh, it's just the pull-up bin next to the microwave.
23:33Do you know who, uh, who sent your mom these roses?
23:38I mean, she, she got a bunch of flowers after the election.
23:41Yeah, I noticed that the others, they were all put in water.
23:44Did your mom do that?
23:45No, I did that.
23:47Every night.
23:47You did?
23:48Mom and I would talk.
23:50She'd order herself a glass of wine and I'd put the flowers in water.
23:54Right, so you just couldn't have been here the night before your mother died or they'd be in water.
23:58Is that what you're saying?
23:59Uh, yeah, they must have come the next morning.
24:02Yeah.
24:02Maybe her new boyfriend.
24:05I think you could give us a second, bud.
24:07Yeah.
24:08Uh, Mr. Moore, I, um, came by to ask if, uh, you recognize this man.
24:19Is it him?
24:20It is.
24:23Hold on.
24:24I've met him.
24:29He shook my hand.
24:30I thought he was just another corporate mogul willing to donate to Claire's campaign if she did what he wanted.
24:35I think he's a developer or something.
24:36Why do you say that?
24:37Because when I met him in Claire's office, he had a, he had a map of James Bay on her
24:42desk.
24:44Let me guess, McFalls Lake?
24:46What?
24:47Thank you for your time.
24:52Yes.
24:56That's fine.
24:57Let him in.
24:59Let him in.
25:00Let him in.
25:04Fall from a great height.
25:05Very hard to tell forensically if it's suicide or murder.
25:09You're improving your M.O.
25:11They let you stay on Claire's case?
25:14Must have been very upsetting to watch your girlfriend double down on her commitment to the environment in that press
25:19conference last week.
25:20It's always made you angry when women don't give you what you want.
25:24What are you talking about?
25:24I'm talking about the land you've had your eye on for 20 years.
25:28James Bay, the Canadian Shield.
25:30Very pesky with indigenous folks, but rich in hard rock, lithium, and base metals.
25:35You used to call it the next Pilbara.
25:37You watch your buddies in Australia get rich off lithium, and you were desperate to do the same.
25:41So what'd you do?
25:42You buy the land and then make the romantic play for Claire, hoping she'd reconsider, rezone McFaul's Lake for mining.
25:50And what happened when she said no?
25:53Henry?
25:54Henry, what are you doing here?
25:55Well, my father here was sleeping with the next minister of the environment.
26:00He dumped the fortune into her campaign.
26:01She agreed to open James Bay up for mining, but then reneged on her promise at a press conference.
26:08For Christ's sake, Henry.
26:10She didn't renege on anything.
26:13Claire was a very smart woman.
26:15She knew she would win her seat by running on an environmental platform.
26:19But she also knew that in this economic climate, it would be absolutely unrealistic and frankly, irresponsible for Canada to
26:28ignore the urgent need for rare earth mines.
26:31But Claire was planning on reversing your stance?
26:34Exactly.
26:35After a few respectable months in office, she was going to gently concede to lifting environmental protections on mining and
26:41McFaul's Lake.
26:42It was all worked out.
26:43Plus corruption.
26:44It's absolutely not.
26:45It was a smart businessman convincing an equally smart politician to do what's right for this country.
26:52I bought the land.
26:53I lobbied the person who would decide its fate.
26:56And all of this was decided long before we became romantically involved.
27:01I didn't kill Claire.
27:04I loved her.
27:06Desperately.
27:07And without her, my investment is worthless.
27:10Who knows what a replacement will do?
27:12It's all here.
27:14Emails, texts, help yourself.
27:17That was a nice romantic and patriotic spiel.
27:20But it's fiction.
27:20I saw your GPS.
27:22You were at Claire's condo the morning she was pushed.
27:24We planned to meet nearby at Museum Cafe.
27:27No, no, no.
27:28You're doing it again.
27:28I was 12 years old when you killed my mother and made it look like suicide.
27:33Henry.
27:33You are a monster, a narcissist, and the reason, the very reason, I do what I do.
27:38You're leaving now.
27:40Get off of me.
27:41Leave now or I will have you removed.
27:52Son of a bitch.
27:54You know, I'm going back.
27:55No, you're not.
27:56You can either sit in the front seat of the car with me or you can ride in the back.
27:59Your choice.
28:00Well, that's how it is now, is it?
28:01Listen to yourself, for God's sake.
28:03You are jeopardizing a murder investigation.
28:06Could you please just trust my instincts?
28:09What instincts?
28:09Thanks.
29:03You should lock your door.
29:04What?
29:05What am I free of?
29:13Espresso.
29:13Did you realize this is the first time I've ever been inside your home?
29:18And thanks, I'll take a whiskey.
29:21We've been partners for, what, three years now?
29:24And I had to ask a neighbor which door was yours.
29:26Yes.
29:40We found your father on CCTV.
29:43Museum cafe, 1014 a.m., the exact moment Claire Matthews was being pushed off her balcony.
29:50Now it makes sense.
29:52He's checking his watch.
29:55He was waiting for her to join him and she was late.
29:58No, he'd hired someone to kill her and he was waiting to find out the job was done.
30:03You think your father hired a hitman and then parked his car at the scene of the crime?
30:06It's a perfect alibi.
30:07I mean, come on, Bateman, both victims fit the pattern.
30:10My mother invited him into society, bankrolled him.
30:13Claire gave him access to the deepest corridors of power.
30:17Graf, your mother wasn't murdered.
30:19You don't understand the man we're dealing with.
30:22He has a sophisticated, analytical mind.
30:24Okay, sure.
30:25Maybe I'm not brilliant like you or your father.
30:28Maybe you don't have theories about how the pyramids were created
30:32or whether the Voynich manuscript was a lost language or a hoax.
30:36But I do know a grieving little boy when I see one.
30:40And I learned how to work a crime scene long before I met you.
30:50Do you know what this is?
30:52It's from the Paris police.
30:54Do I have your permission to show it to you?
31:01Have you seen it before?
31:03Long time ago.
31:18Henry, if your mother was murdered,
31:22why was the acromion bone in her shoulder chipped?
31:26Because my father slammed her into a wall that was a hole.
31:31Why did the leather strap burn her neck at the jawline up to the mastoid process?
31:37Because he choked her while she sat at his feet.
31:40It was an act of power.
31:41The evidence is clear.
31:45She hanged herself from the beam in your kitchen.
31:49She started to panic when she was losing air like every victim does.
31:53She kicked the wall and then she chipped her shoulder bone when her body hit the tile floor.
31:58He did this.
31:58And then she rolled over on the back.
31:59He did this to her.
32:00He took her from me.
32:01Henry.
32:04Your mother, she wasn't taken from you.
32:09She left you.
32:11You need to see this through your eyes.
32:14Not the eyes of a wounded boy, but the eyes of a brilliant detective.
32:23How?
32:25How could I not have choose to leave her child?
32:31I don't know.
32:34Those are everything.
32:36We were a team.
32:41She was happy that day.
32:46There were roses on the table.
32:49She was singing as I left the school.
32:56She knew.
33:00She already knew.
33:03Oh, God.
33:11Well, it was the roses.
33:13The roses that I saw in Claire's condo.
33:16They made me think of the rose petals at the hotel.
33:18And I figured my father had given them to Claire on the day she died.
33:22But the roses were roses.
33:31You know your dad better than I do, but these are cheap flowers.
33:36They buy her Bulgarian roses from a Yorkville florist, not some crappy bouquet from a convenience store on Lonsdale.
33:43Well, and Lonsdale is up near Clifford.
33:46Maybe Owen got them for her.
33:49Those flowers arrived the day that Claire died.
33:53Owen was still up at school.
34:00It wasn't Charles Graff.
34:02Are you positive?
34:03Charles has an alibi and no motive.
34:06In fact, Claire's death cost him a lot of money.
34:08So what are we thinking?
34:09Claire had a new job.
34:10A new purpose.
34:11A new lover.
34:12She was moving to Ottawa, sending her son to boarding school.
34:15Leaving him.
34:16Abandoning him, at least through his eyes.
34:19A kid?
34:22He's 14 years old, and he has an alibi.
34:25He was on a school tour.
34:27The tour started at 8 in the morning.
34:29He was paired up with an older kid named Mason, who said he'd never left Owen's side.
34:33But when I pressed, Mason told me that he did leave Owen alone on a bench while he went to
34:37make out with his girlfriend behind the chapel.
34:39Now, he said it was only for a minute, but when I talked to the girlfriend,
34:42she told me that it was actually more like the entire duration of the service.
34:45That is two hours from 9 a.m. to 11.
34:50So it's possible that he left, bought $10 roses from a convenience store near the school,
34:55took a bus home to try to convince his mother to reconsider her decision to leave him at Clifford.
35:00And then she said no, and he pushed her off the balcony, went back to Clifford, and no one even
35:03noticed he left.
35:05Circumstantial.
35:05Which is why we need to get him to admit it.
35:10Oh, no.
35:12No!
35:13No!
35:14Frankie, when Graf interfered with this investigation, he jeopardized not only this case, but the reputation of the entire Toronto
35:21police.
35:22Boss, if we're going to get this kid to break, I need my partner back on this case.
35:26Please.
35:27Please, you need to trust me on this.
35:34Are we sure we're doing the right thing?
35:38I feel like we pulled a pin on a hand grenade.
35:42I'm trying to keep you waiting.
35:48Detective Sergeant Henry Graf.
35:50Your father was sleeping with my mother, right?
35:52Same last night.
35:52Yes, it is, and, uh, yes, he was.
35:57Oh, and I also lost my mother when I was around your age.
36:01We were an inseparable pair.
36:04I think it's these best friends.
36:07And when she died,
36:10well, I believed that my father had killed her.
36:15He killed her and then moved me from Paris back to Toronto and stuck me in a boarding school.
36:22When I found out that he was involved with your mother, I was convinced he'd done it again.
36:27Signs were everywhere, especially the roses.
36:29You see, he left roses at your mother's apartment the day she fell to her death,
36:35just like he left roses at my mother's feet.
36:41Now, the death was ruled a suicide by the French police,
36:45but I couldn't accept it because that's not what a mother's supposed to do.
36:52The contract that a mother enters into the moment that she looks into her newborn's face
36:57is that she would be there, always,
37:02and that she does not get to take her own life
37:04because she is so needed, so crucial, so vital to another human being.
37:12And it took my...
37:15It took a close friend to make me finally realize that I was wrong
37:22and that she hadn't been murdered,
37:25that she chose death
37:28over me.
37:42Owen, what I'm about to tell you is going to be very hard for you to hear
37:46because we share something, you and me.
37:50We weren't enough.
37:51We weren't enough to make our mother stay.
37:54No, you're wrong.
37:55Deep down, secretly, your mother was desperately sad
37:58and nothing you could give to her life was enough.
38:01She wasn't sad, she loved me.
38:03She jumped from the balcony, she left you.
38:05That's not what happened!
38:09No.
38:12What happened?
38:14I want to go.
38:16I want to go now.
38:18Yeah, Mr. Morrow, Owen, is free to leave at any point.
38:24No, we're not going anywhere.
38:29It's amazing how fast love disappears and how quickly things change.
38:34I mean, everything was going along fine until this election,
38:37but the thing is, is she knew she was going to win,
38:39and she'd fallen in love with someone new
38:42and had already made plans to move to Ottawa without you.
38:46Put you in a boarding school full of strangers.
38:49All that time together, just you and her.
38:51She was just going to walk away.
38:54So what'd you do as you get on that bus
38:58and buy her a bunch of crappy roses
38:59to try to convince her to change her mind,
39:02convince her to stay?
39:06She was out on the balcony watering plants,
39:08and I went out there to talk to her,
39:10and she said that she wasn't going to talk about it,
39:13and then it was settled.
39:14I told her I just wanted things to go back to the way they were.
39:18She laughed at me.
39:23Until you pushed her.
39:32What happened?
39:34It was an accident.
39:35I didn't mean to.
39:37I was just so mad.
39:39It all happened so fast.
39:43She said she liked roses.
39:44I didn't know they were crappy ones.
40:00Oh, and I'm sorry.
40:04You've got to come with me, okay?
40:06Okay.
40:25What's this?
40:27Root beer float.
40:30How come?
40:31Because it's summer,
40:32and to remind us of childhood.
40:39The good parts of it at least.
40:41and to remind us of all those extensions,
40:41You've lost shit.
40:59All that's just going to be shiver,
41:00and you don't want to see them.
41:00We've stopped and bloody rush.
41:00Oh, my God is a completely dangerous friend.
41:00Come here to go.
41:09towah sounds on stage.
41:09How come?
41:09I'm lucky as if you are new from the world.
41:10You're cheating on me.
