Original subtitles

In Toronto's war on crime,

the worst offenders are pursued by the detectives

of the Specialized Criminal Investigations Unit.

These are their stories.

The arctic is crawling with polar bears,

and they're hungry, and Logan the Brave,

a six year old explorer-- - Six and a half.

Swings across to the other side.

Unless he'd rather his dad show him how it's done.

Oh, one's got his leg!

Take that polar bear!

You really think you could do the monkey bars?

Not a chance.

Drinking on the job, huh?

I was. Your husband wasn't having any.

It's funny, that, uh, your flask has his initials on it.

I'll get the car.

Come on, bud, let's go.

Not yet.

Logan. Right now. Hey! Come back here right now.

Logan, get down from there. I mean it.

Right now!

My arm!

- Come on, come on. - What happened?

- Nell, it's fine. - Logan!

- We're fine! - Logan!

Can you get up?

Just give him a little bit of space, give him space.

Hey you okay? What happened?

So between Logan's testimony

and the eye witnesses, this case is cut and dry,

but, never hurts to hear from a grandparent.

Grandparents are old, I go by papa.

Sorry. My new intern is a nepotism hire.

Marcy, just push the button. The red button.

Oh, Nell.

Hey.

Can I help you?

Yeah, actually, I'm looking for a rug.

Something that doesnt stain.

Yes!

Applaud for yourselves.

So, grab an ass and light some grass as we prepare to screen

our first film.

And who is the first victim it is.

Who's responsible for this masterpiece?

Anyone? No?

Our first director is shy.

And... lights.

No, help! Help! Somebody help! Somebody please help me!

Shut it off!

What is this place?

You've never been to the cinefile?

Uh, no. But, uh, can't say I'm surprised that you have.

Henry.

And you must be detective Bateman.

Yeah.

Ah, oh.

Welcome to Cinephile.

Toronto's premiere showcase for the weird and the wicked.

And we now have a brand new claim to fame.

Murder.

I didn't drag you down here for some AI slop.

This is a genuine snuff film.

No, no, no, please, don't!

Well, the aberrations of the camera lens

reads like an older model, high 8 maybe?

Shh, shh. This guy's not dead.

Not yet, anyway. It's a minor concussion at best.

All right. Look at the way it bubbles around

the quickly viscous quality of the skin. That is not CG.

Darkening, coagulated, that is the reaction

of skin to exposure to hydrochloric acid.

Queasy feeling you get from watching it,

that's hard to fake.

Shivers that run up your spine when you realize

you've just witnessed someone perishing before your very eyes.

Should we have another go?

No, uh, less is more. Less.

This was a RSVP event? - Of course.

We're gonna need to get the names of everyone in attendance.

Sure, but everyone here was at a wrap party

when that DVD was delivered.

How do you know when that was?

Because, like almost everything great in life,

it was captured on film.

This was captured on Cinephile's doorbell cam.

Two nights ago someone dropped the DVD

in the festival's submission box at 7 05 P.M.,

same time as Les and the other participants

were at the Spaghetti Factory for the wrap party.

Yeah, we spoke to everyone in attendance, but it appears

nobody has any connection to the film whatsoever.

So if no one at the Cinephile was involved,

why release the film there?

No, we believe the Cinephile was just a vehicle

for getting the film out to the world.

Exactly. If the killer had posted the video online,

Mark would've already had tracked him down.

So how do you leak something without leaving a trace?

Get somebody else to do it for you.

At the screening one of the kids recorded

the video on their phone and posted it online.

9,200 views and counting.

And Les plastered the entire city with posters

for the screening. I mean, the killer could be anyone.

As could our victim. We cross referenced this image against

our missing persons registry. So far no hits.

Until we know that this film is real,

we don't even know that this is Toronto.

Yeah, but if the film is real,

that liquid is hydrochloric acid,

which dissolves all traces of DNA within 72 hours.

Then we're running out of time.

Our victim is a white male.

Photogrammetry puts him at about 6 feet.

But other than that, he may as well have worn the mask.

Which appears to be home made and is impossible to trace.

- You got anything on the watch? - Yeah. 300,000 sold

in the past year. - Can you bring the video up?

Somebody please, help me!

Behind the scream, can you

isolate that, bring that up.

Yep. Excuse me.

Somebody please help me!

Billy Roland White, please come to the office.

The murder happened near a school.

Well, let's make some calls. Find out what school

has a student named Billy Roland White.

So the announcement came from this school.

Takes a certain type to kill near kids.

Yeah, schools are loud, chaotic. Even if a kid

does see something, who's gonna believe him.

You seeing this? - Yeah.

Oh, you smell that?

Tripod's still here, but the camera's gone.

Rug's new.

The film was real.

We had the sample processed as quickly as possible,

but the hydrochloric acid

dissolved all the biological matter. No traces of DNA.

Ugh, that is grim. Were there any impurities?

Fillings, pacemaker, anything at all that could get us an ID?

Found traces of iron, chromium, and nickel,

but those are most likely from the watch.

Other than that I wasn't able to pull anything from the barrel.

Which is why I analyzed a sample from one of the containers

that was left in the garage.

See, a civilian can't just order hydrochloric acid

in these quantities, in case they are

a crazy person in a mask.

Right. This would've had to be purchased commercially.

And then stolen or sold.

The sample was 37 percent purity, usually used

in steel mills. So I used the lot number to track down

the manufacturer. This container belongs to Atkinson Steel.

I can assure you

that all of our stock is completely intact.

But if you'd like to learn how steel is made,

I'd be happy to give you a tour.

No, that's okay, I already know how steel is made.

I even know how it degrades over time.

Water and oxygen causing it to develop iron oxide.

But this lock looks brand new.

- Is that a bad thing? - No, it's a suspicious thing.

Especially considering this old lock was smashed.

We have pieces of metal all over the place.

Well, you also have cameras all over the place.

Show us some footage of you replacing that lock,

and we'll get out of your hair.

Last week during the night shift, I went out for a smoke.

I usually take a couple of laps. But when I came back,

the lock was already broken.

And 95 litres of hydrochloric acid was missing.

I couldn't tell that anything was missing.

You could tell that the lock was broken.

Please. I can't lose this job.

So you replace the lock.

You make it look like nothing happened.

We need access to those cameras, Javier.

I deleted the footage.

That, unfortunately,

is obstructing a murder investigation.

Okay, okay. But what if I know who did it?

He was driving off as I was coming back

I recognized the car.

Ryan Gray. Creep used to work here til they sacked him.

Creep?

He set the foreman's car on fire. The guy's nuts.

I haven't seen Ryan since Friday.

He borrowed my car, so I haven't been able to get

to the grocery store, but he'll be back.

He, he takes care of me.

By um, letting you sleep on the couch?

Well there's only one bedroom,

and Ryan needs his sleep.

Anyway, he wouldn't want me blathering--

Mrs. Gray, please.

We're worried your son might be in some serious trouble.

We just want you to know that if Ryan is guilty

of what we think he is guilty of, he could go to jail

for a very long time.

Well. I shouldn't tell you, but I did find a stack

of one hundred dollar bills in his dresser last week.

How thick was this stack?

So as thick as a deck of playing cards.

That's about 40,000.

Uh, is the money still in the house?

It was gone the next day.

Shirley, could you tell us if you recognize this balaclava?

Aw, of course.

I knit this for halloween when Ryan was a kid.

He used to be such a sweet boy.

Hey.

What're you doing?

We put out a Canada-wide warrant. Ryan Gray's face

is everywhere. Borders, airports, rental car agencies.

Still, the guy could be on a greyhound bus to anywhere

by now. What about the phone number his mother gave us.

No, it's a dead end. He must be using a burner.

The money that Ryan's mother found is bothering me.

It's bothering me too. If I had 40,000 dollars

I wouldn't be crashing with my mom.

That money's recent.

Do you think someone could've hired Ryan to make that film?

And, if it was just a snuff film, why wouldn't Ryan

choose a more transient victim who no one might miss.

Our victim had nice clothes, nice watch.

And a family. Noticed this, and enhanced it.

Dad.

So, maybe this wasn't random. Maybe it was a targeted hit.

Well then maybe whoever hired Ryan also cast the lead role.

Hmmm. Some good news

over night. They found Shirley Gray's mini van

at Pearson airport. It's been there since last Saturday.

That's only good news if Ryan Gray did not get on a plane.

Well he's not on any flight manifests, and we're using

facial recognition in case he's got a fake passport.

I misjudged this guy. I thought we'd have him by now.

I mean look at him, he's wearing a damn tea cozy.

Okay, let's say that this was a targeted hit.

Why make the murder public in such a horrific way?

Well there's only two people who know the answer to that.

Ryan Gray and the person who hired him.

And we still have no idea who our victim is.

He was thrown in the back of Shirley Gray's van.

There must be some evidence, some DNA.

They're still processing the car, but they also...

sent this over.

The next time I see you parked in this spot

I will have you towed. Shefa shop?

It's a store in a strip mall up in North York.

Hmm, the killer's pretty far from home.

Maybe he was meeting someone. Someone with 40k in cash

and a serious grudge. Oh.

Patience.

Are you planning on shopping in here?

Uh, ma'am we're the police.

I don't care if you're the king of Siam.

This is detective Graff, I'm detective Bateman.

What's your name? - Esther Severski.

Store owner. - Well, Ms. Severski.

Do you recall putting this note on a tan mini van last week?

Thursday. After a week of that Schmendrick parking in my spot.

I decided to put a note on the windshield because

he looked very dangerous.

But it worked, because then on Friday I saw he was parked

behind the furniture shop.

Well, thank you so much for your time.

So Ryan was parked here for a whole week.

Yeah, it doesn't sound like he was meeting the man

who hired him. Sounds like he was doing surveillance.

Maybe of his victim.

So he parks his car behind the furniture store

the day of murder.

Closing in on his target?

Officers. Shopping for a comfortable couch?

Brighten up the break room.

If only we had the budget. No, we're here to inquire about

a mini van that was parked out the back of your store

last Friday. - Friday. I wasn't here.

Who was?

- New guy. David Barnes. - Is he here now?

No. It's crazy, but he begged me for this job,

and then he missed both his shifts this week.

The last time he was here he left the store unlocked.

Baruch Hashem nothing was taken. He's all right, I hope.

Footage from the furniture store,

Friday at 1 08 P.M.

This employee David Barnes helping the suspect Ryan Gray

carry a large rug out the back exit.

David never re enters the store.

So Ryan gets David to help him move the rug

into the back of the mini van,

pushes him in and incapacitates him somehow.

Maybe chloroform, maybe drugs.

That is a match for the rug in the garage.

He helped the guy move the rug he was rolled in. That's cold.

Pause it.

Zoom in on his wrist.

That's the bracelet our victim was wearing.

Before it was dissolved in acid.

I'm sorry, I don't understand. Is David okay?

Are you aware of anyone who might've wanted

to harm your husband?

No. I mean, David and I lead very different lives.

He goes out a lot. I'm usually with Logan,

or working.

You two back from the store already?

- Nell, what's going on? - Uh, dad, can you,

can you take Logan to the park or something?

Hi, Logan. My name's Henry.

- Hi Henry. - Oh.

Have you ever been to the arctic.

Yep. Have you?

Not yet. My dad's taking me.

Did you know that in Yellowknife you can see the northern lights

for 240 nights a year?

Yep. And did you know that astronauts can see

the northern lights from space?

- Woah! - Woah.

Grab your glove, Logan.

We'll play a little catch in the park.

Okay.

A left handed glove. I guess he throws with his right.

Yeah, Logan's right handed.

But he shook my hand with his left.

Yeah, uh, a few months back he fell on the playground

and um, hurt his arm.

Sorry, where is David?

What am I gonna tell my son?

What have you been telling him? Your husband's been missing

for four days and you haven't reported.

David's been staying in a hotel for the past few weeks.

I've just told Logan that he's away working.

We've been having some issues.

What kind of issues?

Just growing in different directions.

But we're working on it.

No, marriage is complicated.

Oh, guess this backs up the idea that David liked to party.

Or perhaps he was taking the split hard.

- Mmm. There's a laptop. - I see it.

Let's bag it and get it to Mark.

What's David's kid's name?

Logan?

Well, I'm in.

- Really? - Yeah.

Well that's not a man with a lot to hide.

He's got three tabs open for divorce lawyers.

Looks like he wasn't as into reconciliation as his wife.

What about that maps tab?

Well that would be the last address David ever searched.

My niece and Logan are friends, yeah.

Kids never happened for me, so.

I don't know, I just, I pretty much piggyback off

my sister's family.

But yeah, David and I ended up taking Edie and Logan

to a few Jays games last year.

How 'bout them Blue Jays?

Nah, man. Too much heartbreak for me. I'm a Cubs fan now.

I like the old ball park.

What's going on here? You have a fight with your planter?

No, that was David.

So it wasn't a friendly visit?

Things have gotten tense.

Truth is, I wasn't a fan of how he treated Logan.

Treated him how? What do you mean?

So, a few months back, we're at the playground.

We're tipping the flask.

And, um, David's really starting to feel it. I could tell.

Anyway, it's time to go, and Logan's not listening.

Typical kid stuff, right?

He goes down the slide one more time, and David goes ballistic.

He grabs his poor kid by the arm and he throws him to the ground.

He ends up breaking Logan's arm.

David's wife said that was an accident.

If I got treated like Nell did,

I'd probably say the same thing.

I'm surprised she even confronted him about it,

but she must have, because the next thing I know

he's at my door, drunk, yelling at me, telling me

that I ruined his life.

- You call the police? - I threatened to.

Got him to go away.

Nell tells us she and David are working on things,

but she doesn't tell us that David broke her kid's arm?

Why would she hide that.

Maybe Nell took care of it herself. Hired Ryan Gray

to kill David, and protect her son.

Nell. Why didn't you tell us that David broke Logan's arm?

What, so you could question him about it?

I don't want Logan to relive that.

It took long enough for him to get comfortable

to tell me the truth.

Or, maybe you didn't want it to happen again.

You were finally going to leave your husband, weren't you?

I'm guessing David wasn't happy about that, you know?

I mean if he broke down Sebastian's door,

I can't imagine what he would do to you, to your son.

David had been in a tough place lately.

He hadn't worked in years, and I run this successful

skincare company. You understand what that does to the male ego.

Did anyone else know about the abuse?

Sebastian knew because he saw it.

I had a hard enough time telling my lawyer about it.

Your divorce lawyer?

We were filing a restraining order.

David was gonna be legally out of our lives.

I was gonna win sole custody. I didn't need him dead.

I'll wave attorney client privilege,

you can ask him yourself.

Look, I had David Barnes on a skewer. Told him that.

Low key insisted he sign over custody.

Nell was waving support, it was a good deal.

She just wanted them out of their lives.

But he got angry. Said the courts always favor the mother.

- Is that what you think? - Wouldn't have mattered.

Nell was financially stable, and David had a history

of substance abuse and violence.

- Who else can vouch for that? - Valid, detective.

Believe women isn't a recognized legal principle

in any jurisdiction. Nell had recorded other incidents,

but we needed witnesses to David's temper.

Nell didn't want her father getting involved, but I felt--

You brought him in anyway.

Testimony from a grandparent can win a case.

Did Nell's father corroborate her accusations?

No, he was in shock, and he left.

Did Nell know that you were meeting

with her father recently?

Yeah. She didn't want him getting invovled,

but I wanted to win the case.

Excuse me. Marcy! Dammit.

Nell was telling the truth.

She was about to get full custody.

Yeah, but she was lying about who knew about the abuse.

She knew her lawyer spoke to her father.

Well, maybe when he saw what David did to his grandson,

he didn't care so much about custody, he wanted revenge.

Ah, the ancient guardian, selfless patriarch.

How'd you react when you found out it was your son in law

who broke Logan's arm? You saw the statement.

How he pulled Logan off the slide.

You know the force it takes to break bone?

That's enough. Now look. I spoke with Logan right after

the playground incident. He said he fell.

Nothing about David pulling him.

But after Nell took him to the hospital,

he came back with a different story.

Suddenly it was David's fault.

Maybe he didn't feel safe saying it

until he had assurance from his mother that it was okay.

Maybe...

But there's something else.

When Logan was two he fell out of his high chair

and had to go to emerge. He was fine, but...

I felt terrible, because it was me

who forgot to do up the safety straps.

But in her lawyer's file,

Nell is claiming that David pushed the high chair over.

So you think that she's fabricating abuse?

Nell calls David an unemployed deadbeat,

but I'm their financial advisor. I was part of the decision

that David assume the role of stay at home dad.

Why would Nell, or your daughter, go to such lengths

to separate Logan from his father?

Nell has been offered a very good job in Chicago.

And David could stop her from taking Logan

unless she had full custody.

I love my daughter.

But since she was tiny, Nell has never let anyone

get in the way of what she wants.

I can't imagine you wanted to lose

your grandson to Chicago.

I didn't.

So I went to my lawyer to, about David fight back.

Did David know you were planning to help him?

No. I was waiting to hear back from my lawyer

to see if we had a case.

But it was shakey, because there was a witness claiming

David broke Logan's arm. - Sebastian Mercer.

I went to see the man.

But he held strong with his version of events.

- Sebastian? - I need to talk to you.

In the middle of the day?

Why haven't you been answering my calls?

Listen, I, um. I need to tell you something.

- Is this about David? - The same David who,

who you told me was abusing you and Logan?

The same David who you needed out of our lives.

huh? Are you gonna stand here or are you gonna pretend--

Hey.

There's nothing to tell.

Okay? Because you don't have anything to do with this. Right?

Right.

I hate that. Believe women is so important.

If Nell's weaponizing that, putting real abused women

at risk to get what she wants.

And what Nell wants is what?

Oh, her kid. A career. Move to Chicago.

Oh, great city. River runs backwards.

You ever taken the architectural tour?

Of course, yeah, it's got beautiful old buildings.

Like Wriggley field, home of the Cubs.

What do we know about Sebastian?

He's a venture capitalist at Quantum Echelon.

They've got offices here, New York,

and Chicago.

We know if he was married?

Lost his wife six years ago to cancer.

Look, we don't know

that Sebastian is lying about Logan's arm. But if he is,

it's probably not about money because the man

makes a lot of it. - Exactly, so.

Why else does a man lie for somebody else's wife?

The Cubs, huh? Chicago Cubs.

I wanted to wear a Cubs hat in this interview,

but nobody here in headquarters seemed to have one because,

well this is a Blue Jays town.

But you're rooting for the windy city.

You know we could've just gone to a bar

if you wanted to talk baseball, detective.

Your work takes you to Chicago quite a bit, hmm?

Did you know Nell Barnes was moving to Chicago?

- I, um... - Sure you did,

cause you're moving there as well.

Seems you're in a relationship, huh?

We were keeping it quiet until the custody case was settled.

Or, because you were an eye witness whose testimony

could ensure Nell gets sole custody of her son Logan.

No, David was going to lose custody because he was abusive.

According to Nell.

Well, she wouldn't lie about that.

Oh, but you did. You know David didn't break Logan's arm.

So did Nell's father. So, did you tell Nell?

Yeah. She went through her dad's email and found out

that he was retaining a lawyer for himself and David.

And Nell's sole custody win wasn't guaranteed anymore.

So you paid Ryan Gray to kill David.

I don't know Ryan Gray.

Well.

That's a little odd, because the last we checked,

you and Ryan...

were on the same highschool D&D club.

You know, you don't look like a dungeon master.

We went through your portfolio.

We know that you haven't sold a share in six years,

but two weeks ago you sold 40k's worth in a down market.

The exact same amount you paid your old buddy here, Ryan Gray

to take are of David so you and Nell could move to Chicago.

We have enough to take you in.

But we might be able to help you if you can testify

to Nell's involvement.

She had nothing to do with this, all right?

So you did it yourself, huh? Didn't you.

Okay, listen.

I hired Ryan, but just to scare David.

Just to scare him? By putting him in a vat of acid?

That is pretty scary.

So why'd you want him to film it

if you only wanted to scare him?

I didn't. I didn't need a video of what I asked him to do.

Well maybe you didn't trust your D&D ally

to get the job done.

Yeah? You needed proof that David was turned into sludge.

Look, he was hurting Nell.

And Logan!

He's, he's a special kid.

All right? He doesn't deserve a father like David.

No, he deserved you. Is that it?

You were sick and tired of piggybacking

on someone else's family.

You could have the beautiful wife, the kid,

and you would be a far better father than David ever was.

Hey. Has Ryan been in touch since?

I'm supposed to be meeting him somewhere outside of the city.

- Where? - I don't know. Okay?

The guy has been extorting me.

He sent me the video saying that if I didn't pay him more,

he was going to release it.

So I panicked and I stopped answering.

Okay, help us find him and at least we can say

that you cooperated.

Sebastian, how are you contacting him?

With our burners.

Got a location on Ryan's burner?

I want to pick him up. I want Nell in here too.

We gotta get to the bottom of this.

Ryan's phone is frozen at 29 Downing street.

That's Nell's house.

Mrs. Barnes is your son at home?

Yes, he's in the living room. Why, is something wrong?

Logan may be in danger.

Sorry, Logan? Logan?

I was in my office. Logan!

Logan? Logan!

Logan! Logan! - It's detective Henry Graff,

we need to report a missing child.

Ryan's not reaching out.

He could get a new burner phone anywhere.

So why does a kidnapper who's extorting Sebastian

not reach out?

One of the officers found an active camera

across the street. The footage is coming now.

There goes the phone.

He knows exactly where he's going.

Ryan surveilled David for a week

before he threw him in a van. This guy does his homework.

Look at Logan. He's got his arms wrapped around this guy.

This doesn't seem like a stranger.

What if Ryan's not reaching out because Ryan's

incapable of reaching out.

Mark, pull up the video of the murder.

Okay there's Ryan in the mask. He's violent, desperate.

But David Barnes, our victim, he just keeps getting back up.

But what if David overpowered Ryan. Graff,

we never see the face of the man going into the barrell.

David switched their clothes.

That's not David Barnes going into the barrell of acid.

It's Ryan Gray.

Look at me!

Hey! Hey, take that off.

My face is cold.

Hey, bud. Want to go help me find a lake?

We can go fishing. - Sure.

Hey. Do you remember what your awesome new name is?

Thomas. What's your new name, dad?

It's still dad.

Okay, let's say David Barnes is alive, he overpowers Ryan

the hitman. Knocks him unconscious. Why kill him?

Why not just call the police?

A call was placed from Ryan's phone to Nell's

boyfriend Sebastian around the time of the murder.

Now, we believe that David placed that call to find out

who hired the hitman, and Sebastian picked up.

David realized two things. The first being that Nell

had manipulated Sebastian into hiring a hitman, and secondly

that Sebastian would go down for it while Nell

got away scott free.

So he edited the video to fake his own death

and dropped it at the Cinephile,

that way we'd be looking for Ryan while David disappeared

after kidnapping his own son, and that makes Ryan

look like a hitman gone rogue.

David did all of this just to be with his son,

the person that everyone was trying to take away from him.

Well, he's still a murderer. We have the border on alert.

Helicopters sweeping rural crossings.

Unless he's gone north.

You think he'd stay in the country

that just issued an amber alert?

If he's a dad who just abducted his son,

how do you make it a little less scary?

You make it an adventure.

Take Logan to his favorite place on Earth.

- Polar bears. - The arctic.

One of those northern towns where everyone's got something

to hide and no one's asking any questions.

Okay, listen up, people.

We need to turn those helicopters north.

Have local law enforcements search all parks,

and closed camp grounds. Come on people, let's go!

Car's empty. John spotted the car off the highway.

We're clearing this site, but it looks like they're in the wind.

Survival gear is here. So's ammunition.

Where's the rifle?

Graff.

Wow...

Look at that, bud. What do you think?

Are we almost at the tundra?

Not quite. But we'll get there.

David Barnes.

What's going on, Dad?

Hi, Henry. - Hey.

- He's a police man. - Don't come any closer.

Hey, why don't we just get Logan away from the edge, yeah?

We'll just go somewhere safe and talk?

The only danger to Logan is you backing me into a corner.

David, we know this isn't you.

Oh yeah? You sure? Because everyone else seems

to think that it is. - David if you'd left Logan,

you'd be scot-free by now. But you couldn't do it.

With this plan, whatever this is.

How long can you last out here?

I know. I know.

See, tactical's got their weapons trained on you,

'cause of that rifle. And your son

is only inches away from you.

It's as useless to you as a handkerchief

and as dangerous as a grenade.

So, we need you to put it down.

- Okay. - Careful.

Listen to me.

The best thing that I have ever been is your dad.

Now I want you to go with the police now, okay?

Why?

Don't worry. I'm gonna be right behind you.

Hey, Logan? Come here. You come here.

Don't you worry, everything's gonna be okay.

You're gonna hang out with my friend Cathy here, okay?

Okay.

Atta boy.

Woah, David, you just said you were gonna be

right behind your son.

Yeah, well it's better this way.

Because she won't stop!

It wasn't enough that the lawyer wanted to take my son away,

she needed to just stand at my funeral

and just watch them bury a casket of human sludge!

Hey, David, we know Nell fabricated the abuse.

Her own father knows. Okay?

You're not alone. And you don't know this,

but he was planning to help you.

He was getting a lawyer.

What?

You're not alone.

It doesn't matter anymore. Cause I killed someone. I mean.

I didn't mean to do, I didn't want to do it.

- I know. - I got stabbed in the neck

with a needle, and then I woke up in a horror garage,

and this guy, he was...

You think that I wanted to just fight him?

Or knock him out and then strip him down and listen to the skin

crackle in the acid?

Listen. I get why you did what you did.

The only way for you to live was for him to die.

So you could be reborn as someone else.

Or I just wanted to be with my son.

And now I can't.

She won. - David, no, no, no, wait!

I know that you want to protect him.

I know that that's all you've ever wanted.

That's why you uh, taught him to tie his shoes, right?

Taught him to look both ways?

That's why you held his hand when, uh,

you crossed the street with him on the way to a Jays game.

And from the moment he was born you made a promise

that no matter what you would always, always be there for him.

And if you break that promise, part of your boy,

that beautiful boy, Logan...

part of Logan goes over the edge with you.

There's no rebirth here.

But he's gonna hate me. He's gonna be scared of me.

No he won't.

He loves you.

And he's gonna keep on loving you.

Because you're his dad.

And David, you're the only one he's got.

Don't leave him like this.

Oh my God...

What have I done.

Come on.

Yeah, we're clear.

Logan? Logan come here!

Hi mom. My name's Thomas now.

No, no that's ridiculous.

It's okay, dad. Don't cry.

Let's go.

If there's evidence that she's involved, we'll find it.

But that would put both that kids parents in jail.

difuze.
