Short filmTranscript
00:00Oh, and I am not here to be remembered.
00:02Peter, stop it. You're making it 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.
00:20But 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.
01:17Did Owen leave already?
01:19Yeah.
01:19He yelled bye.
01:21You were in the shower.
01:22Wow.
01:23It's weird.
01:24We're gonna be empty nesters soon.
01:25Claire, you are going to have an entire country to take care of.
01:39Oscar, right?
01:40Uh, no, it's Owen.
01:41Okay, whatever.
01:43Just need to drop off my stuff, then we'll head to the chapel.
01:45You good to wait in here?
01:46I'll show you around the school.
01:48Yeah.
01:48Sure.
01:49Time.
01:49Stay tight.
01:54Craft, it's a universal truth.
01:56Court gets cancelled, the only thing left to do is enjoy the day.
02:00Gotta make the rules.
02:01Yeah, summer's got the highest crime rate of any season.
02:04I know what else it has.
02:06Fruit beer floats.
02:08You always say they remind you of summer.
02:10You really want to relive my childhood?
02:18What did I tell you about summer, huh?
02:20Yeah.
02:21Yeah.
02:22Yeah.
02:25Okay.
02:27Yeah.
02:28Yeah.
02:29Oh, my God.
03:15Oh, my God.
03:29Nothing yet. We'll keep trying.
03:32It's strange. Jumpers usually take off their shoes and glasses in an intuitive desire to preserve order.
03:40There's nothing orderly about this.
03:48Well, looks like her wind cleaned out every florist in town. Any sign of a suicide note or journal?
03:54No, sir. Nothing yet.
04:06If she was standing on the stool, her waist would be just above the railing. It's a point for suicide.
04:11She could have also been reaching for those geraniums. Looks like she was deadheading the plant.
04:22Well, if she was up here to reach, she could have slipped. It might be an accident.
04:26Or she was up there and somebody pushed her over the edge.
04:29It would have been someone she knows, someone she feels comfortable with.
04:32Well, De Silva always says, what's the best way to kill someone? Push them from a great height.
04:37Fall renders every forensic detail indeterminate.
04:45Well, right now, we've still got accident, suicide, or murder.
04:51The husband's in the lobby.
04:53Mr. Moore, did your wife have any history of mental illness or depression?
04:57Okay.
04:58I realize this is delicate, but did Claire ever attempt or discuss suicide?
05:03Claire would never take her own life.
05:05Okay, what makes you say that?
05:06She just won her riding. I was her campaign manager.
05:10She was tapped by the PM to be the minister of the environment.
05:13She was on top of the world. Claire would never choose to leave her work or her family.
05:18Oh, my God. Where's Owen?
05:20That's right, your son.
05:21A stepson. Claire's first husband died when Owen was little.
05:24Now he's at Clifford. I need to...
05:26You cannot tell him. He cannot hear this from a stranger.
05:29Well, we'll drive you up there.
05:31Unfortunately, we are going to need your clothes, and we're going to escort you up to get changed.
05:45Oh, I hear Clifford is a great school.
05:48No long you've been a student here.
05:49I'm not. I'm supposed to start burning here next year.
05:51So I take it your mother was going to work for Ottawa?
05:54It's hard to be a good cabinet minister from Toronto.
05:57What time did you leave your home today?
05:59I don't know, like seven.
06:02Owen, did anything happen this morning? Any conflict, arguments?
06:06I told you. We were all on a high. Claire was...
06:11She was just on a winning streak.
06:13What about you, Owen? Did you notice anything?
06:17I don't think so. She was in the shower when I left.
06:21I said goodbye, but I don't know if she heard me.
06:26As far as we can tell, Claire Matthews had absolutely no reason to end her own life.
06:30According to her loving husband and son, she wasn't depressed, had no history of substance abuse.
06:35The woman was on top of the world.
06:36Now, let's stay on this one, especially given who she is.
06:38Yeah, we spoke to a Mason Torn, a Clifford tour guide.
06:42Owen was on a rousing tour of the chapel when his mother died.
06:46What about the loving husband? Where was he?
06:48Two-hour trail run on the Beltline.
06:49Well, that's convenient.
06:52Mark is checking to see if there are cameras along the trail to confirm the alibi.
06:55Someone might have seen something.
06:56In the meantime, may this guy have the great pleasure of knocking on about 200 doors?
07:01Well, maybe just one.
07:02Let's start with the ornithophile on the eighth floor.
07:07Peter, I'm so sorry for your loss on behalf of the Conservative Caucus.
07:11Please accept our condolences.
07:13Thank you, Steve.
07:14I'm sorry, we can't take any more questions.
07:16The investigation is still underway.
07:18Claire will be missed every day.
07:24No luck finding Peter jogging on the Beltline yet.
07:27Good thing to know that there's a place in the city you can still go without being watched.
07:30But you were right about the bird lover on the eighth floor.
07:34Here's the footage from their bird feeder camera.
07:36It doesn't show the balcony, but the audio picked up.
07:39Claire, talking to someone.
07:44Really?
07:44Yeah, here, hang on. I enhanced it.
07:48How did you do that? I've made my final scene.
07:50Let go of me.
07:55Then it was murder.
07:5710 to 14 a.m.
08:00Wait, uh, talking to cameras.
08:02Then your bad guy knows how to avoid them.
08:04According to the lobby cameras, after the husband and son left,
08:06no one went up to Claire's condo until the police arrived.
08:08Then how did our killer get inside?
08:11Yes, there were cameras in the lobby, so Claire came up with a hack.
08:14Yes, she does.
08:15Did.
08:16We started using this service entrance during the campaign.
08:19No press, no nosy doorman, no enemies, no fans.
08:22We all.
08:23Who's all?
08:25Everyone.
08:25Me, the family, her volunteers, her press secretary.
08:28We all had a key to the condo.
08:30It was pretty come and go.
08:31And Tilda, you mind telling us where you were Monday morning?
08:34Like, serious?
08:35I worshipped Claire.
08:37And on Monday morning, I was picking up a jacket that she left at the Archer Hotel.
08:40What was she doing there?
08:42She had a meeting.
08:47I'm not allowed to talk about, I guess, a violation of privacy.
08:52Well, Claire Matthews was murdered, so we need to get a sense of who she was,
08:56the company she kept, anything at all would help.
08:59There was no business happening in those meetings.
09:02Unless you mean dirty business.
09:04Do you have any idea how much damage red rose petals will do to Egyptian cotton?
09:08Looked like a murder scene.
09:09No joke.
09:10Wow, that's a keeper.
09:12Can you, uh, airdrop that to me?
09:14Sure.
09:15So, Claire Matthews was having sex with someone here.
09:19Did you ever get a look at them?
09:21Tall, older guy.
09:23Was it him?
09:25Her husband, Peter.
09:26No, but that's the guy that got banned from the hotel a few weeks ago.
09:29There's a photo of him posted in the security office.
09:32She talked to Ronald.
09:33Three weeks ago, 5.45 p.m.
09:37Oh, and our cameras don't have audio due to privacy laws, but you'll get the gist.
09:48I had to send security down to break it up.
09:50You're all in paradise.
09:52As if he finds out she's having an affair, that could be enough to send them both over the edge.
09:57I gotta say, you've got the worst luck with cameras out of anyone I think I've ever met.
10:01I've been doing this a while.
10:02But we can't find a single frame of you on this running trail the day of your wife's murder,
10:06and yet here you are, assaulting her at a hotel.
10:12That must have been a painful day for you.
10:14I mean, you give everything to Claire, work around the clock to make her dreams come true,
10:18and then you find out that she's sleeping with someone else.
10:21I was heartbroken.
10:22I thought of packing up everything and leaving that night.
10:25I thought of leaking it to the press.
10:27I thought about destroying her career.
10:29So what did you do?
10:32I decided to accept it.
10:34My wife, she didn't love me anymore, and apparently there's nothing you can do about that.
10:38We discussed it, and she decided that once we got to Ottawa, we would split quietly,
10:43and she would facilitate a lateral move for me.
10:47Well, that sounds remarkably cordial under the circumstances,
10:51but unfortunately we still can't corroborate your whereabouts.
10:55Okay, wait, wait, wait, wait, hold on, please.
10:57Look, when I run, there's a guy that I see there all the time.
11:00He's got a blue RBC jacket, he's got these bright orange running shoes,
11:03and I definitely passed him that day.
11:06All right, we'll see.
11:09Mom was acting weird.
11:11Not bad, just different.
11:13Different now.
11:14Like her mood.
11:15She seemed really happy, but distracted.
11:18You don't want to vote?
11:22She'd never admit it, but I think she was cheating on Peter.
11:25Why'd you think that?
11:26Because these gifts would show up.
11:27What kind of gifts?
11:28Flowers mostly, a book of poetry.
11:32I remember one time Peter was out camping.
11:34Some restaurant delivered coconut cream pie.
11:37All the notes said was XOXO.
11:40What was the color of the box, I'm assuming?
11:45The pie came in a box.
11:46Yeah, it was navy blue.
11:50Now, the only restaurant that I know that serves coconut cream pie in a navy box is Barty's.
11:57I hate that place.
11:58What's wrong with Barty's?
11:59It's fancy, you like food, and you've got the biggest shrimp in town.
12:02I had to spend every birthday there.
12:04No pizzas, no bouncy castles.
12:06I didn't know what a birthday cake was until I could shave.
12:14Morning.
12:15I'm sorry, we're not open just yet.
12:16We're with the Toronto police.
12:18I'm Detective Bateman, this is Detective Graf.
12:20Henry, is that you?
12:22It's been years.
12:23Andre, yes, it's been a while.
12:26Henry used to come in here all the time as a kid.
12:29We'd have to make him special plates so that his food would not touch the other food.
12:34We have a few questions regarding an ongoing investigation.
12:37Has he always been this charming?
12:39From day one.
12:40Do you recognize this woman?
12:42Name of Claire Matthews.
12:44Yes.
12:44She was in here a few times.
12:46Do you happen to remember if she was with anyone?
12:50She was here with your father.
12:52My father.
13:00My father.
13:02Well, that certainly complicates things.
13:05Well, I can tell you right now that Andre's already on the phone with him.
13:08So, let's pay the old man a visit.
13:10Uh, I don't think that's a good idea.
13:13Ah, come on.
13:13He lives ten minutes away.
13:14A couple questions won't hurt.
13:16And if things turn weird, even a little weird, we're out.
13:18Graf.
13:19Come on, Bateman.
13:20I'm the picture of professionalism.
13:28This is where you grew up?
13:30No, not really.
13:31I was only here when I wasn't at school.
13:33Moved out.
13:34First chance I got.
13:41Henry?
13:44It's good to see you.
13:46What's it been?
13:46Ten years?
13:48Come in.
13:48Come in.
13:51Charles Graf.
13:52Lovely to meet you.
13:52Frankie Bateman.
13:53Detective Bateman.
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 a
14:15little over six months now.
14:16So you're aware of her death?
14:18Yes, I heard it on the news, just like everybody else.
14:21I was under the impression that she took her own life.
14:23Is that true?
14:24Would that surprise you?
14:29Yes.
14:29Claire seemed happy, fulfilled.
14:33We 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?
14:52See, if my father wants someone or something from someone, he carpet bombs them with gifts.
14:58Desserts, books, flowers.
15:01Tie pins.
15:04Those are my grandfathers.
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.
15:43Henry, Mr. Graf.
15:48My inciting in my father could prove a vital asset to this investigation.
15:53No, you're compromised.
15:55I'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.
16:13Graf, the answer is no.
16:16And that is final.
16:18Bateman can run this without you.
16:24So what do I do in the meantime?
16:27I don't know.
16:28Maybe trust your partner.
16:29Work another case, or better yet, why don't you take some vacation days,
16:32go room around the ATO, or 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 fantastic.
16:51Inspector?
16:52Payton.
16:55I took that a little better than I expected.
16:58I think even Graf 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 Graf?
17:39Excuse me.
17:41Excuse me.
17:43Yes?
17:43What can I do for you?
17:45I'm Owen Matthews.
17:47Did 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 going to move to Ottawa?
17:59Did you talk about that?
18:01I don't know.
18:02Did you talk about taking me with you?
18:06I'm sorry.
18:07We never talked about you at all.
18:21Keep it nearby for me, would you?
18:23Of course, Mr. Graf.
18:29Excuse me, sir.
18:31Uh, my father, he just said he left his meds in the car.
18:34He wants me to take him out.
18:35He's got to take him three times a day, you know.
18:38Keeps forgetting.
18:38Sorry, and you are?
18:40Oh, uh, Henry is some Henry Graf.
18:44You're...
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
18:53and hope he doesn't have another heart attack.
18:55Sir.
19:14Monday the 26th, on St. George Street.
19:17You were at Claire's.
19:19I knew it.
19:25So, I've been looking into Charles Graf.
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 Graf's mother,
19:35who died in 1987.
19:38Maggie Graf, formerly Maggie Graham,
19:41handed herself in her Paris apartment when Graf was 12.
19:44Death was ruled a suicide by Paris police.
19:47Yeah, but, uh, I think Graf believes his father killed her.
19:54They 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,
20:04but I think that's what he's reacting to.
20:06Yeah.
20:07Agreed.
20:08So if Charles Graf always had an angle,
20:11what was his angle with Claire Matthews?
20:12Well, he runs Titan Incorporated.
20:15Land development, pulp and paper,
20:17mining.
20:18Mining?
20:20Who's the CEO of a major corporation
20:22with mining interests during sleeping
20:24with the newly appointed minister of environment?
20:26That's a lot of angles.
20:28That's what I'm saying.
20:30You taking it on the road?
20:32Yeah.
20:33Why, you wanna join me?
20:35Hell yeah.
20:36I used to be a cop.
20:38Give me ten minutes,
20:39I'll meet you in the parking lot.
20:40Good morning.
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?
20:56He's coming.
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.
21:08So...
21:09So...
21:10Hmm.
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.
21:23All right.
21:25Yeah.
21:26Yeah.
21:29Yeah.
21:40Yeah.
21:45Yeah.
22:27Okay, so six months ago, one of Charles' companies bought up a ton of land near McFald'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.
23:08Hold on. Your stepfather in?
23:11Yeah, come in.
23:13Peter, the police are here.
23:19Where'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 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.
23:48You did?
23:48Mom and I would talk.
23:50She'd pour herself a glass of wine and I'd put the flowers in water.
23:54Right, so these 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.
24:02Maybe 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.
24:57It's fine.
24:57Let him in.
25:04Fall from a great height.
25:05Very hard to tell forensically if it's suicide or murder.
25:10You'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?
25:25I'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 watched your buddies in Australia get rich off lithium and you were desperate to do the same.
25:42So what'd you do?
25:42You buy the land and then make the romantic play for Claire.
25:47Hoping she'd reconsider?
25:48Rezone McFalls Lake for mining?
25:50And what happened when she said no?
25:53Henry?
25:54What 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.
26:02She agreed to open James Bay up for mining, but then reneged on her promise at a press conference.
26:08For Christ's sakes, 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.
26:31Claire 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
26:41McFalls Lake.
26:42It was all worked out.
26:43Plus corruption.
26:44It's absolutely not.
26:46It 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.
27:13E-mails, 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.
27:25We 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.
27:39You're leaving now.
27:40Get off of me.
27:41Leave now or I will have you removed.
27:52That sounds amazing.
27:54Yeah, I'm going back in.
27:55No, you're not.
27:56You can either sit in the front seat of the car with me or you can ride in your 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.
28:10Thanks.
28:25Thanks.
29:03You should lock your door.
29:04What?
29:05What am I free of?
29:13Espresso.
29:14Did 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, and I had to ask a neighbor which door was yours.
29:40We found your father on CCTV, Museum Cafe, 1014 AM, the exact moment Claire Matthews was being pushed off her
29:48balcony.
29:50No, 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, I 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 I don't have theories about how the pyramids were created or whether the Voynich manuscript was a lost language
30:35or 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.
31:17Henry, if your mother was murdered, why 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.
31:42The evidence is clear.
31:45She hanged herself from the beam in your kitchen.
31:49Henry, she 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 her back.
31:59He did this to her.
32:00He took her from me.
32:02Henry.
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 Amada choose to leave her child?
32:31I don't know.
32:34It was her 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.
33:22The roses were roses.
33:31You know your dad better than I do, but these are cheap flowers.
33:36He'd 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.
34:46That 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.
35:13Frankie, when Graff 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 Graff.
35:50Your father was sleeping with my mother, right?
35:52Same last night.
35:53Yes, it is, and, uh...
35:55Yes, he was.
35:57Oh, and I also lost my mother when I was around your age.
36:01We were, uh, an inseparable pair.
36:04I think it's these, best friends.
36:06And when she died...
36:11Well, I believed that my father had killed her.
36:16He killed her and then moved me from Paris back to Toronto and stuck me in a boarding school.
36:21When I found out that he was involved with your mother, I was convinced he'd done it again.
36:27And signs were everywhere, especially the roses, you see.
36:30He 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, but I couldn't accept it because...
36:48Because that's, that's, 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 is...
36:58That she will be there, always.
37:02And that she does not get to take her own life because she is so needed, so crucial, so vital
37:08to another human being.
37:12And it took my, it 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 over me.
37:42Owen, what I'm about to tell you is going to be very hard for you to hear.
37:47Because 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.
37:55Oh, deep 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.
38:18And 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 on fine until this election.
38:37But the thing is, is she knew she was going to win.
38:40She'd fallen in love with someone new and had already made plans to move to Ottawa without you.
38:46Put you in a boarding school full of strangers.
38:48All that time, together, just you and her.
38:51She was just going to walk away.
38:54So what'd you do?
38:55Did you get on that bus
38:58and buy her a bunch of crappy roses to try to convince her to change her mind?
39:02Convince her to stay?
39:06She was out on the balcony watering plants and I went out there to talk to her.
39:11And she said that she wasn't going to talk about it and that it was settled.
39:14I told her I just wanted things to go back to the way they were.
39:18She laughed at me.
39:38She said she liked roses.
39:45I didn't know they were crappy ones.
40:00Oh, and I'm sorry.
40:05You've got to come with me, okay?
40:25What's this?
40:27Root beer float.
40:30How come?
40:31Because it's summer and it reminds us of childhood.
40:39The good parts of it, at least.
40:41Let's do it.
40:43I'll go.
