Previously on Allegiance...

Where did you get this?
You can go to prison,

you could both go to prison.

How high does this go?

Gabby, please tell me

who did this to my father?

Constable Sohal,

once we pull this thread,

we have to pull every thread.

Are we on the same page?

I've gone over it
from every angle, Sabrina,

there's no legal way

to bring Campbell to justice

without also incriminating you
and everyone involved.

Does Campbell know
that we know it's him?

All he knows

is that you found out

the sealed evidence was fake,

and that Gabinski planted it.

Thank you all for being here.

To Tabitha, the most
important thing was legacy.

I thought legacy was the work
that I'd done with SkyVex,

work that's now continued
through my daughter, Rhona,

but Tabby said
what really mattered was...

how you treat people.

She'd sit with me and Chelsea,
and say, "Be kind, Linc.

That's how people
will remember you."

I learned so much,

and there's...
so much more.

I...

I got you, Dad.

- I got you--
- Where's Chelsea?

I'm here.

Come on, Dad.

Thank you, Chelsea.

My father will need
just a few moments,

but please help yourself
to refreshments.

Mr. Michaels,
is there anything I can do?

I'm just feeling so lost.

She seemed like
a very special woman.

Here, let's--
let's get you inside.

Mr. Michaels!

I need to talk to you.

I can't get you people
on the phone.

You can't keep ignoring me!

You hear me?

This is a funeral.

Sir, let's go,

or we will call the police.

- This way, sir.
- Don't touch me!

I said let go!

[Stephen I'll ask you
to show some respect.

Hello?

Chelsea?

Rhona, you forget something?

What are you doing here?

So remind me again
how Vince takes his coffee?

Two creams,

but make one a milk,
he won't notice.

Okay.

Uh, wife's name is Helena.

Appropriate music is, uh...

oh, God... classic rock,

Three Tenors, and--

He also loves Wu-Tang Clan.

I'm sorry, what?

Don't worry, you're gonna nail
this recertification.

You don't seem convinced.

Oh, no, it's not you.

I'm just juggling four cases.

Hitting a dead end
on two of them,

and the families
keep calling for updates.

How's it going with Zak?

He sees battle plans
and strategies.

Emotions
are for the after-party.

Well, he's also got
an 80% close rate,

and do you...

What?

...think he's available?

- For what?
- As in single.

You are so unserious right now.

Serious about what?

Wu-Tang Clan.

Uh, just heard back from Kara.

We're going to Panorama Ridge.

Oh, what's the occasion?

Welcome to
the point-zero-one percent.

Suspicious death
of a billionaire.

Lincoln Michaels,

developer and real estate mogul.

He's the face
of SkyVex Development.

There isn't a scaffolding
in Surrey

that doesn't have that logo.

Never heard of it.

They market SkyVex

as the "solution
to the housing crisis."

Affordable condos adjacent
to community-based projects.

He was found in his bathtub
this morning.

Time of death somewhere
between 9:00 p.m. and 2:00 a.m.

Any early indication of cause?

Mm-hmm.

Temazepam?

Sleeping pills.

Strong ones.

So suicide?

Could also explain that.

An accident
is also possible.

We found beta blockers
in the medicine cabinet.

Prescribed for arrhythmia.

Heart attack,
followed by drowning?

Maybe.

What do you make of this?

Discolouration of the lips

could be from lack of oxygen

once he went under the water,

but we'll know more
after the autopsy.

Should we entertain homicide?

Possibly.

Wife's funeral
was here yesterday.

Lots of people on the property.

First person
on the scene this morning

disarmed the security system.

It's a very small opportunity,
if any,

for someone to come and go.

Uniforms
also searched the house.

Okay, let's get footage
from any cameras,

and have Gillian review,

and see if anyone came in or out
since last night.

What is this?

A cleaning product?

Fiberglass.

We bagged some,

but it likely
came from renovations

being done on the house.

The family's been notified?

His daughter found the body.

She's downstairs.

It's the last thing
that you ever want to see,

his body in the water...

I mean, I tried to--
I tried to pull him up

because I thought...

But he was... so cold.

I can't imagine.

You were the last person
to see him

after your mother's funeral?

Um, it's my--
it's my stepmother, but yes.

And you were here this morning
to take him to...?

A site visit,

one of our new properties.

I worked with Dad at SkyVex.

I'm his COO.

And you disarmed
the security system

when you entered?

Yes.

He put it on
when I left last night.

Two losses
in a such a short time,

it's a lot for a family.

Tabitha, she was gone
in six months.

Nephritis?

It is awful,

but Dad...

Sorry.

I can't seem to cry.

I...

I keep expecting
the tears to come.

They just don't.

I should really
reach out to Daniel.

Daniel?

He's our family lawyer

and Dad's best friend.

He handles all the business
and estate matters,

through me--

Where is she?

He's gone?

What happened?

Last night, in the bath--

You didn't have time
to call us?

We found out on the news!

I found him, Chelsea.

Can you imagine,

having to deal with
all the reporters

and the police?

You still could have called me.

Omar said you would do
something like this--

Yes, let's take a moment away
from Dad's death

to get Omar's opinion
on the matter--

Chelsea?

My condolences.

Can I have a word with you?

I'm sorry.

Chelsea is...?

She's Tabitha's daughter.

She came in the picture
ten years ago,

when Dad remarried.

I take it you two
don't see eye to eye?

He was my dad, too.

Blood isn't the only thing
that makes you family.

Who's Omar?

My husband.

This is probably a lot for you
right now.

Can I get you anything?

I can't believe they're gone.

They're both...

gone.

And Chelsea doesn't
work with you at SkyVex?

No, no, Dad and I,

we always had
a succession plan in place.

I would run the business,

give him a chance
to go on these, um,

these wellness retreats,

you know,
with Chelsea and Tabitha, so...

Tell me about your dad.

He was such a teddy bear.

So kind, so funny...

...and he embraced Omar
with open arms.

He was so excited
for us to start a family.

And your father
just lost his wife--

My mom was more than that.

She was his soulmate.

They wanted to spend
every minute together.

Rhona, I'm so sorry to ask...

would your father
take his own life?

Hmm.

You see those?

It's like, you know,
all the bad art

that you see
in vacation rentals,

but... Tabitha,

she painted every single one,

so, Dad, he hung them all
on the wall.

Because he loved her.

Yeah.

So to answer your question,
I don't know.

Maybe, with her gone...

...he didn't see the point.

No, my dad didn't want to die.

He had plans for the future.

We need to look into
every possibility.

6103, we have
a disturbance of the peace

at Pathway Mechanics
in Strawberry Hill.

This is 6103,
we're on our way.

This place isn't safe!

Seriously, kid?

Get out of here!

Go! Get out!

- Listen to me! You're in danger!
- There he is.

If I would have known
recertification meant

getting to work
with superheroes...

You've been hiding behind
a keyboard too long.

- You're finally here.
- You're all in danger, get out!

Can you do something
about this kid?

Thank you, sir.

Perplex, hey.

This is Constable--

Constable Grove.

You're not in school today?

Go! Leave!

You want to... You want to
tell us what's going on?

Superheroes work alone.

Actually, superheroes
uphold the law--

and what's with the phone?

It's for my livestream, duh.

Move!

Calm down!

Does your Mom know
where you're at?

Hey.

What were you thinking?

Do you have any idea
what could have happened to you?

You okay?

Time to get you home,
little man, come on.

No, you don't understand.

The Thorns are blocking the path
to the berry patch.

"The thorns are blocking
the path to the berry patch."

Of course, in the comic books,
Perplex speaks in riddles.

Hmm,

but we just want
to keep you safe, buddy.

Cops don't keep people safe.

Well, we do.

Okay?

Come on, let's get you home.

Ooh.

Look who's serving "Civilian
Investigation Realness."

You wanted to see me?

Gulab Jamun?

The perfect dessert

for gays recently dumped
by their boyfriends.

Toronto can keep him.

How's it going up at CIU?

Remember
being a nerd in school?

I wasn't a nerd,
you were a nerd.

Well, it's been two weeks
of data entry

and being iced out
by my much cooler coworkers.

I think I've lost my mojo.

Oh, plus, uh...

...everyone
secretly thinks

I'm a spy for you.

Yeah, well, speaking of which,

- you better get going--
- Good morning.

Don't believe
I've had the pleasure.

Zak Kalaini,

this is my brother,
Ishaan Sohal.

You work in
Civilian Investigations.

Oh, he's good.

Seeing that badge around here

usually means
someone's in trouble.

Well, you'd better stay
on my good side.

See? No mojo.

Text me later.

Update on the Michaels case.

Tenille
fast-tracked the autopsy.

Lincoln didn't die
of a heart attack.

It was asphyxiation,

but no fluid in the lungs.

Meaning...?

He suffocated
before he went in the water.

He was murdered,

so a homicide in a locked house,

with a security system
that's armed all night.

Exterior cameras
detected no intruders,

only Rhona coming and going.

There were no staff at the home,

and their alibis line up.

What about the contractors
working on the renovations?

Work on the house
stopped six months ago

when Mrs. Michaels became ill.

There's been no one since.

And the guests
at Tabitha's funeral?

We're working through alibis,

but save for immediate family,

no one had access
to the main house.

So we're looking for a ghost.

Or someone who did have access.

We need to canvass the area,

talk to the neighbours,

collect doorbell, and dash cam

between the hours
of 9:00 p.m. and 8:00 a.m.

Make sure we account
for every single person

who stepped foot
on that property,

see if anyone saw anything, okay?

You want to stay on the Fen
disappearance in Whalley,

- I'll take this?
- Sure.

You both need
to clear your schedules.

All priority is on this case.

Because Michaels
is high-profile?

No,

because Mr. Michaels
served on the CFPC board.

He bought tables
at our fundraisers,

and he was an advocate
for a safer Surrey.

It's a big loss.

Lots of eyes, so solve it fast.

No pebble unturned,

we need answers.

Is that clear?

Yes, Sir.

Good.

All right.

No striation marks on the neck

or visible bruising.

Trace cotton fibres
along the lining of the mouth

and nasal passage.

Maybe the killer used a towel
to suffocate him.

Tox is clean
of the sleeping pills,

only the prescribed amount
of blockers are in his system.

Also, formaldehyde
and bergamot came up.

Formaldehyde makes sense

if he kissed his wife
during the visitation.

Bergamot
like the essential oil?

Common in colognes.

What do we have from the scene?

Uh, still waiting
on DNA analysis.

I gotta take this.

Thanks, Tenille.

Daniels...

Classic
kill-dad-for-his-billions.

Is that what you read

from Rhona and Chelsea
this morning?

Chelsea, not so much.

We should still
confirm her whereabouts

at the time of Lincoln's death.

Well, she was with Omar.

The team's confirming her alibi.

Rhona, on the other hand,

has access to the house

but no alibi.

She's grieving,

but pretty pragmatic
about Lincoln's passing.

All right, let's look into
life insurance, beneficiaries,

dig into SkyVex's books,
debts owed.

We should check in
with the family lawyer.

Good thinking.

CFPC's finest,

serving Surrey's richest.

He's not in trouble.

We picked him up

outside a garage
at Strawberry Hill.

Oh, my God,
what did you do, Anton?

It's okay, it was just
a minor traffic disturbance.

A week ago, he tried to get
in between a couple of bullies

and a kid down the street,

and the week before that,

he was on the lookout
for pickpockets.

I want to be on top of this,

but I am working back-to-back
shifts at the hospital.

- I-I--
- Mary...

you're a great mom,
you're doing the best you can.

You can't keep doing this.

It's my calling to save people.

Your calling is
to finish your math homework.

I did my homework.

Did you?

Or were you uploading
your adventures

to your channel?

Here.

Don't make me
take it away from you again.

Sorry.

It's okay.

He has a lot of resentment
since his father died.

He feels the cops
didn't do enough

to keep the gangs
out of the neighbourhood.

Malik was killed
by a stray bullet.

And the superhero thing
started after that?

The two of them
used to collect Perplex comics.

They would dress up
in the same costumes,

go to conventions together.

Malik was a kid at heart.

Anton holds onto that.

It's a way to process grief
when you feel powerless.

You still have my number?

You bet.

Use it, anytime.

Thank you, Officers.

He could be... uncompromising.

Friendly with politicians,
celebrities,

police, firefighters.

Grew the business at any cost.

Spell that out for us.

You don't get to the top

without making some tough deals.

He could be litigious.

That's business for you.

I grew up with him.

I saw him go through
two marriages.

First one was a nightmare,

second was better.

He changed a lot with Tabby.

She didn't believe
in those values, money, power.

If you had them,
you used them for good.

You take, you give back.

Hence the foundation.

The foundation?

Lincoln was going to sell
his company

to fund
a philanthropic foundation.

Wanted his stepdaughter,
Chelsea,

to see it through.

Did Rhona know?

Well, you could ask her.

I know she was busy
with the condo building

and the community centre,

but Lincoln and Chelsea

were going to update his will
this week.

So Lincoln was spending time
with Tabitha and Chelsea,

planning a shift
to philanthropy,

and Chelsea would run
the organization

while Rhona was bringing in
the money to fund it?

That can't have been easy.

Rhona was raised by the shark.

He taught her to be a heavy,

to do whatever it takes
to get the job done.

She even ended her engagement

because he thought it would
get in the way of SkyVex.

Can you tell us more
about this condo

and community centre?

The Hub?

That was just about saving face.

A way to make
a bunch of suits look good.

So not really
helping the community...

Developing a piece of land
in the heart of the city

doesn't mean
someone isn't already on it,

and not everyone is happy

about leaving their home
or business.

I mean, the company
had to put up with bad press,

protests, lawsuits...

There was even a crasher
at the funeral.

Really?

Did you know them?

A man, mid-30s, White.

But again...

if you're looking for enemies,

you won't fall short.

Oh, it's Rhona Michaels

Divide and conquer?

I'll take the call,
you hang with the dead people.

Tactful as always.

- Detective Kalaini.
- Detective, yes.

I'm just calling to check in

on the status
of my father's case.

We're still investigating,

but while I have you,
were you aware

that Lincoln was in the process
of changing his will

and folding SkyVex Developments?

I was,

but what could I do about it?

Whatever my father wanted,
I mean...

I had to accept.

Sorry, I'm just not clear

on what any of this
has to do with--

Where are you right now,
Ms. Michaels?

Well, I'm at the estate,

trying to keep
my dad's business running.

Please stay there, I'll be by
with a few follow-up questions.

Can I help you?

I'm so sorry.

Stephen Rechy,
assistant funeral director.

Work here long enough,

you learn to move quietly.

Detective Sohal.

Detective.

You knew the deceased?

I didn't.

Just reminded me of someone.

Grief never leaves the body.

It's a testament
to the people we love.

Hi.

Detective Kalaini.

- Stephen Rechy.
- A pleasure.

Your funeral home

conducted Tabitha Michaels'
celebration of life service?

It did.

Were you there?

Of course.
I attend all of our services.

Did any uninvited guests
show up at the house?

Just one.

He got past the staff,

demanded
to speak to Mr. Michaels,

and wouldn't take no
for an answer.

Did you get a name?

He signed the guestbook

and left a rude message
for the family.

We're still waiting on them
to pick it up.

Let me get it for you.

Thank you.

How did it go
with Rhona Michaels?

Well, she knew about
the changes to the will,

and she was pressing me

for information
on the investigation.

Here.

Thank you.

"Marek Osipacz.

Lincoln Michaels
ruined my life."

Do you remember
anything about him,

anything he might have said?

He kept going on
about his daughter,

how she was in pain,
I remember that,

and then we escorted him
off the property.

Thank you, Mr. Rechy.

Marek Osipacz.

His family lived

right in the middle
of the SkyVex development.

He was the last man standing

when the rest
took the SkyVex buyout,

and then a fire burned down
his home and business.

His family made it out alive,

but his daughter was left
with long-term COPD

and cognitive impairments.

That's horrible.

Sounds like motive.

Marek ran with a gang

in Guildford
when he was younger.

It was petty teen crimes,
B&Es...

But how would've Marek

gotten past
Lincoln's security system?

Also, we've hit pay-dirt
with the SkyVex accounts.

About three months ago,

Rhona made
two unexplained withdrawals

from the company account--

500K--

roughly 250k each.

What if a daughter
who wants Daddy's money

makes a deal with a guy
who has a criminal record

and a vendetta against him?

It would explain
getting past security.

You think Marek
received those payments?

But then why would he crash
Tabitha's funeral

looking for Lincoln?

It doesn't fit.

Rhona called me
at the funeral home.

It seemed like
she was fishing for information.

We need to talk to her,
get a read on her.

Okay, just keep it friendly
and respectful.

Remember,
we don't have a warrant.

Give me my money!

How dare you trespass
on this property again?

You people are monsters!

Do you understand?

Hey! Enough!

I will not be ignored!

- Are you Marek Osipacz?
- Yes.

We're bringing you both in.

Really?

- Put him in the car.
- What?

Are you okay?

I am fine.

- Just keep him away from me.
- Sure.

You're late again.

I don't have it, man.

Where's my money?

Give me a few more days, okay?

Brambilla.

He's gone.

Mary? Anton's mom.

I just went
to check his bedroom.

He climbed out the window.

Any idea
where he could have gone?

He just started live streaming
from a garage somewhere.

What's his online channel?

PacificPerplex.

Okay, Mary, you stay calm,
all right? We're on this.

He's streaming
a crime in progress.

Wait...

"The Thorns are blocking
the path to the berry patch."

His riddle.

"Blocking the path
to the berry patch,"

I mean, that's the shop.

Pathway Mechanics
near Strawberry Hill,

but "Thorns"...

Vince.

Golden Thorns,

a gang in the area,
the ones who killed his dad.

We gotta go.

Aw, Anton.

I've given you all week.

6103, shots fired
at Pathway Mechanics!

Requesting backup.

Hey, we got ya, Anton.
We gotcha, buddy.

Are you hurt? Are you hurt?

He hasn't been shot.

Get off of me!

Inside...

One guy's hurt,
the other has a gun.

We're gonna
get you out of here.

I'm gonna get him to the car,

you keep your eyes on the door.

Do not engage without backup,
you hear me?

- Yes.
- Where's my money!

Come on, get you up...

There you go, you okay?

Yeah, come on.

Will you stay with me?

You bet, buddy.
I'm gonna stay with you.

We need immediate backup,

Pathway Mechanics!

Vince, hurry...

And what do you think
happens now?

Please, I can't...

Stop! Hands up!

- Hey, you okay?
- I'm good.

In pursuit!

Drop your weapon! Stop!

Stop!

2211
is on scene, eastside alley.

Drop it!

Drop your weapon!

Hands up.

What am I doing here?

That man attacked me,

and he killed my father.

We're interviewing him as well.

It's our job to rule out
all persons of interest.

Are you saying
that I'm a suspect?

Help me understand here, Rhona.

Your father
was making changes to his will

that were not in your favour,

and you were withdrawing money
from the SkyVex account

and making payments to two
encrypted email addresses.

That business,

it keeps its lights on
because of me.

Why would I take money from it?

That's what
we're trying to understand.

Rhona Michaels claims
you assaulted her.

She attacked me.

I came to talk to her.

Like you came to talk
to Lincoln

at Tabitha Michaels' funeral?

I can't get them on the phone,

can't get a meeting,

so I do what I have to do.

What's the real story here?

Why are you harassing
the Michaels family?

When the development
was announced,

we offered him $600,000
to relocate,

which was worth way more
than the value of his property--

and it wasn't like it was
just another condo project--

it was the community centre.

It was our home.

Apartment upstairs,
restaurant downstairs.

I worked for years to buy it,

and they just want me
to give it all up?

No.

So we stayed.

But he wouldn't
take the money,

and then things, they got ugly.

He went to the press,

smeared Dad's name,

hit a nerve with the public
because of the market.

We'd come home,

find furniture trashed,

windows broken,

and then the fire.

That was a tragedy.

What happened, it was...
I mean, was terrible.

Middle of the night,
we woke up and...

this... heat.

There was smoke everywhere.

To see my girl... suffer?

I was able to grab her,

but the whole place
burned down to the ground.

Faulty wiring, they said.

Case closed,

but Sophie is still sick.

She's struggling with anxiety,

she's on expensive medication.

So, finally, I agreed to sell,

and they only gave me 100,000.

$100,000,

that is the amount
that the company agreed on,

and I told him

that he had his chance
to take a better offer.

Is that why he crashed
Tabitha's funeral?

I deserve more
from that family,

so I tracked them down

to get the rest
of what was mine.

Do you know what it's like

to be the daughter
of a powerful man, Detective?

To live in the shadow
of his decisions?

Maybe my father cut corners,

pulled a few strings
to get where he got.

Did he set fire

to a man's house?

No.

I mean, I felt bad,

so I took more money
out of SkyVex,

and I paid Marek the rest,

quietly.

I didn't want Dad
or the board to know.

I never received anything

beyond that initial 100,000.

That man, he wanted Dad dead.

They hate each other.

You don't have to like someone

to hire them
as a contract killer.

It seems risky

to pay a someone
who hates your family.

Neither of them have an alibi.

And we still
don't have confirmation

on who Rhona was paying.

Two direct transfers

to two separate email addresses.

There are traces of DNA
from an unidentified person

on the victim's body.

I'll see if it's a match
for Marek.

Thanks, Tenille.

Go back
to the Michaels' estate.

There's a chance
there's still a paper trail

in Lincoln's office,

and we need to get to it.

Why is Rhona Michaels
in Interrogation?

She's a suspect
in the Michaels murder.

What evidence do we have
for a hold?

It's not a hold,
it's an interview.

That could still
open us up to litigation.

Do we need to keep her?

I'll make sure the appropriate
protocol is followed

regarding legal counsel,

and the moment she asks
to leave, we'll let her go.

All right.

Proceed.

Quickly.

I don't know.

I still don't buy Rhona
killing her own father.

Why not?

Lincoln changes his will,

and makes plans
to dissolve the company

she was poised to take over.

He did teach her to be ruthless.

Yeah, but being ruthless
in business is one thing,

murdering a father that you love
for money?

Well, did she though?

Love him?

Yeah,

she loved him.

Oh, you can tell,
just by looking?

Ah, your intuition.

Yes.
Love isn't that easy to fake.

She also loved her job,

and maybe she'd kill
to protect it.

What? What is it?

What?

Are you uncomfortable

with one-percenters
being potential criminals?

- Excuse me?
- You're a person of privilege.

I'm a what now?

Your father's
a Federal Minister.

Your brother's in the CIU.

You went from beat cop
to Serious Crimes

in six months,

supervised by the nicest guy
on the force.

I've been calling out
the prioritizing of this case,

and you have no idea
what I've gone through,

so excuse me.

All I'm saying is,
you didn't start at the bottom.

I'm gonna go check upstairs,

follow my intuition.

"Marek Osipacz.

Original offer 600,000,

distributed amount 100,000."

Freeze!

Stay where you are!

Don't move!

I said stay where you are!

Police! Don't move!

Zak, there's an intruder.

He's headed down the stairs.

Stop!

I said stop!

- You got him?
- I got him.

Don't hurt me!

Please!
Please don't hurt me!

Where the hell
did he come from?

His name is Graeme Benton.

He was hired as unskilled labour

by the contractor who was
working on Lincoln's house.

Probably saw
an opportunity to squat

once the lawsuit
put the construction on hold.

The crawlspace

was where Lincoln's HVAC system
would have gone.

The expiry dates
on these wrappers

line up with him being up there

at least six months.

The crawlspace
appeared sealed off.

We missed it in the search.

I've seen this before.

It's called "phrogging."

Like squatting,

only where the property's
already lived in.

To think that man's

just been quietly
living in this house

all that time?

Keeping tabs on the family,

skimming food
when the family's out,

so he doesn't get caught.

Let's think this through.

If Rhona hired someone,

is it possible she paid Graeme
to kill Lincoln?

Well, if you had
that kind of money,

would you continue to live
in a crawlspace?

I agree.
Why kill his meal ticket?

Maybe Lincoln caught him,
Graeme panicked?

So he left Lincoln dead
in the bathtub?

Let's talk to him.

I mean, if he didn't do it,
maybe he saw who did.

Update.

We've got a match
on the mystery DNA on Lincoln.

It's not Marek, it's Graeme.

Not hungry?

I would be.

When was
the last time you ate?

How long have you lived
in that crawlspace, Graeme?

It can't have been easy.

No fresh air,

an old mattress on the floor,

waiting until odd hours
to come down and eat.

We know you were involved
in a break-and-enter as a teen.

The owner of the home died,

and you were tried as an adult.

Guilty, 10-year sentence.

Graeme, you have to understand
how this looks.

A murder in the house
you've been secretly living in,

and a B&E record
associated with a homicide?

But if you talk to us,
maybe we can help you--

A word?

Detectives,

we started the day
with one goal,

to close this file,

and this file is closed.

Sir, we're talking to him,

and I'm not certain
that Graeme did this.

There's a convicted killer

living in the roof
of a man who was murdered.

There's DNA
and fingerprint evidence

that link him directly
to the crime,

and he clearly exhibits
violent tendencies.

Sure, but we should
have an opportunity

to exhaust every option.

Sometimes, the solution
to a case is simple,

and this is one of those times,
Detective Constable.

Get a confession,
make it happen...

...or should I ask
Detective Kalaini to take over--

Sir--
No, I got it.

I'll finish this.

Good.

Graeme, here's the thing.

There's evidence linking you
directly to the body,

DNA evidence,

around Mr. Michaels' neck,

and he died by asphyxiation.

It doesn't look good.

So either you tell me why

and how that happened,

or there's nothing that I--

"I...

murdered...

Lincoln...

Michaels."

Are you uncomfortable

with one-percenters
being potential criminals?

You could hear
everything in the house?

Okay.

We'll get a detailed
confession later,

but this starts the process.

Zak will release Marek,

and the Assistant Commissioner

wants you to deal
with Rhona Michaels.

An apology and an escort home.

Okay?

Yes, Sir.

You did good work today.

Under difficult circumstances.

Hey, bad time?

Uh, no, what's up?

Uh, that wire transfer?

I was able to trace the account.

Ernie Horwitz.

Works for Surrey Fire.

You're kidding me.

It's the Fire Inspector.

A close friend
of the Michaels' family.

I just,
I still can't believe it.

A man in the ceiling?

All this time,
we had no idea...

It must feel
incredibly violating.

He confessed
to murdering your father.

Oh, God, Dad...

Marek Osipacz

had nothing to do
with your father's death.

What an awful way to go,

terrified and alone.

Thank God that you found him,

the man who did this.

I'm sorry for
what you've been through.

I can't imagine
losing my father.

For a while,
I thought I might.

Was he ill?

Your father was this close

to being able to break ground
on his legacy project,

but Marek stood in the way.

My father...

I'd have done anything.

Maybe crossed a line.

People don't understand...

...what you do for love.

We confirmed

that the encrypted transfers
were from you,

but they weren't for Marek.

One was to a local gang member
before the fire,

and the other

was to the fire investigator

just after.

You took care of something
for your father,

without him ever having to ask.

You paid people off

to make it look like
the fire at Marek's place

was an accident,

so you could move forward
with the community centre,

stay close to your father

and the dream you shared.

Would you like me
to call your lawyer?

You know, I told them

to make sure no one was home.

The Golden Thorns

are officially out of
the extortion business

because of what you did today.

For real?

Yes!

So, on behalf of the CFPC,

thank you,

but here's the thing, Anton,

I mean, maybe
there's another way.

Maybe one day--

You want me to be a cop?

Seriously?

Well, um, kind of like you,

I grew up with my mom
in a rough neighbourhood.

She lost a friend,

and... she got so angry.

She felt powerless,

so I worked on
my own superpowers,

got my own costume.

Hey...

I got something for you.

It's a secret, okay?

A secret hotline to me.

It's a direct line,

so if you see anything else,

you call that number,

you stay safe,
and I will be there.

From now on, we work together.

Deal, Perplex?

Deal.

Awesome.

Thank you.

Both.

Constable Grove...

I don't know what
they're teaching at the Academy.

- Sir?
- Do you think that uniform

is going to keep you safe?

You wait for backup next time.

Sorry.
I'm sorry, Sir.

All right, well, hopefully,

your next recertification
will be a little less exciting.

Right, you and Sohal,

you're cut from the same cloth.

Oh! I'm sorry.

It's all good, Wu-Tang.

Oh.

Yeah, that.

Plans for the night?

Honestly? Uh, no.

Korean soaps and wine.

Life of a single gal.

You?

Gym and anime?

Life of a single guy.

Well, uh, enjoy.

Yeah, you too.

Okay.

- Um, yeah, um...
- Please.

- I'm gonna go...
- You go, you do your thing.

Thank you.

That one yours?

A man living
in a billionaire's crawlspace.

Yeah, congratulations,
I heard,

he confessed to killing him.

His confession just felt...
off.

This man
hasn't had a home in years.

Maybe he confessed

just to have a roof
over his head

and a regular meal?

There was so much pressure
from the top

to close the case,

get it done.

By pressure from the top,

you mean
the Assistant Commissioner?

You heard something
about that?

No, just, you know...

You've seen it before.

This job, for a lot of cops,
it's about the numbers,

it's about closing cases.

That's how you build a career.

So maybe if the suspect
fits the bill, then...

You remember
you're on probation, right?

Look, I-- Whoa, late.

I put an order in
at Grazia Fiamma.

You ever had their pizza?

- Huh?
- Cheese?

- That's bad for your--
- Cholesterol?

Well, I gotta tell Helena.

You know what, you can't afford
the long distance, Constable.

Sohal,

Rhona Michaels
has been booked?

She confessed to paying a gang

to burn down Marek's home,

and to paying off
the fire investigator

to look the other way.

That wasn't something
we discussed.

I followed the evidence, Sir...

...and I know
that it's sensitive,

because of the family's
relationship with the force.

We're working with her lawyer,

giving her a fair shot,

and Marek justice.

Sometimes, the solution
to a case is simple, right?
