1
00:00:05,058 --> 00:00:07,437
In Toronto's war
on crime,
2
00:00:07,438 --> 00:00:09,851
the worst offenders
are pursued by the detectives
3
00:00:09,852 --> 00:00:12,920
of the Specialized Criminal
Investigations Unit.
4
00:00:12,921 --> 00:00:14,161
These are their stories.
5
00:00:18,438 --> 00:00:20,816
Hey yo, Mick!
What's good, man?
6
00:00:20,817 --> 00:00:22,264
Got an extra sandwich
if you want it.
7
00:00:22,265 --> 00:00:24,333
Jonah says he's gluten-free,
so it's yours.
8
00:00:24,334 --> 00:00:28,437
- Thank you, my man. I love it.
- Shut up, just... okay?
9
00:00:28,438 --> 00:00:30,644
Go do some meth, you bitch.
- Hey, no.
10
00:00:30,645 --> 00:00:32,885
Give me back my phone, Roger.
- I don't have it.
11
00:00:32,886 --> 00:00:34,575
I know you took, I saw you.
12
00:00:34,576 --> 00:00:36,161
That's a lie, you dumb bitch.
13
00:00:36,162 --> 00:00:38,437
He went into my tent
and he took my phone.
14
00:00:38,438 --> 00:00:40,713
Okay, can you just give it
back, man?
15
00:00:40,714 --> 00:00:42,747
Go to hell, Mick.
16
00:00:45,024 --> 00:00:48,299
Mick, what are you doing?
Bitch owes me money, man.
17
00:00:48,300 --> 00:00:52,333
Roger! She is not a bitch,
so stop calling her that.
18
00:00:52,334 --> 00:00:55,264
Why?
'cause you're screwin' her?
19
00:00:55,265 --> 00:00:57,506
A little meth head
and her sugar daddy?
20
00:00:57,507 --> 00:00:58,885
What a joke.
- Okay, you know what?
21
00:00:58,886 --> 00:01:01,816
One more strike,
and you are out on your ass.
22
00:01:01,817 --> 00:01:04,368
All you gotta do is just
keep the peace,
23
00:01:04,369 --> 00:01:07,093
keep your side of the street
clean or you're outta here.
24
00:01:14,231 --> 00:01:16,955
- Got you a sandwich, Ruthie.
- Thanks, Mick.
25
00:01:20,058 --> 00:01:23,609
- Friend or foe?
- They're all plants, Dad.
26
00:01:23,610 --> 00:01:25,713
Yeah, okay. Well,
this one's been hanging out
27
00:01:25,714 --> 00:01:27,816
in my alyssum,
pretty sure it's a weed.
28
00:01:27,817 --> 00:01:29,334
What are you doing there, bud?
29
00:01:32,576 --> 00:01:33,955
Where'd you get this from?
30
00:01:35,058 --> 00:01:36,265
The park.
31
00:01:36,783 --> 00:01:38,714
Okay. Nate, go inside
right now.
32
00:01:47,093 --> 00:01:48,300
Hey!
33
00:01:49,955 --> 00:01:51,644
Hey!
34
00:01:51,645 --> 00:01:53,471
Do you know anything about this?
35
00:01:53,472 --> 00:01:55,092
'Cause my seven-year-old
just found it here.
36
00:01:55,093 --> 00:01:56,747
Right across the street
from my house.
37
00:01:56,748 --> 00:01:58,161
Alright, I'm sorry about that.
38
00:01:58,162 --> 00:02:00,023
There were never needles
in this park
39
00:02:00,024 --> 00:02:01,782
before you guys showed up.
- I'm sorry about that!
40
00:02:01,783 --> 00:02:04,126
My son used to play here
all day long.
41
00:02:04,127 --> 00:02:06,540
Nobody was frightened, nobody
was tripping over garbage,
42
00:02:06,541 --> 00:02:08,195
nobody was getting
hassled for money.
43
00:02:08,196 --> 00:02:10,092
Hey. Hey, Ward, take a beat.
44
00:02:10,093 --> 00:02:11,920
We're all citizens,
we're all neighbours here.
45
00:02:11,921 --> 00:02:15,023
This guy's not my neighbour.
He's a squatter, and a pervert.
46
00:02:15,024 --> 00:02:17,369
And I want him the hell
out of my park!
47
00:02:18,024 --> 00:02:19,609
Get that camera out of my face.
48
00:02:19,610 --> 00:02:22,057
Five, six, seven, eight.
49
00:02:22,058 --> 00:02:26,609
♪ I'm like a bird
I'll only fly away ♪
50
00:02:26,610 --> 00:02:29,161
♪ I don't know where
my soul is ♪
51
00:02:29,162 --> 00:02:31,575

53
00:02:33,024 --> 00:02:35,471
- Go in again, babe.
- Mom, c'mon. It's fine.
54
00:02:35,472 --> 00:02:37,540
No, Ava. It's not fine, okay?
55
00:02:37,541 --> 00:02:39,713
If I'm gonna stop working
nights on set,
56
00:02:39,714 --> 00:02:41,299
we need paid endorsements, okay?
57
00:02:41,300 --> 00:02:42,678
We have to crack
10,000 followers,
58
00:02:42,679 --> 00:02:44,575
which means we gotta be tight.
59
00:02:44,576 --> 00:02:46,920
My God, hashtag,
"mother-daughter BFFs,"
60
00:02:46,921 --> 00:02:48,954
hashtag, "Moves Like Jagger."
61
00:02:48,955 --> 00:02:51,300
It's like, oh my God, Mom,
it's so phoney.
62
00:02:52,472 --> 00:02:55,023
Okay, then. That's fine.
63
00:02:55,024 --> 00:02:57,231
- Mom.
- No, Ava.
64
00:02:58,300 --> 00:03:00,402
We have been through
hell together.
65
00:03:00,403 --> 00:03:02,713
You and me,
against the world.
66
00:03:02,714 --> 00:03:06,195
You know, I just wanna show 'em
what we're made of.
67
00:03:06,196 --> 00:03:07,954
Whatever, it's fine.
68
00:03:07,955 --> 00:03:12,403
Mom, stop. It's okay.
Let's go again.
69
00:03:25,541 --> 00:03:27,402
Leila, I need a hand.
70
00:03:27,403 --> 00:03:29,472
You can't just sit there
all day.
71
00:03:52,921 --> 00:03:54,230
Hey.
72
00:03:54,231 --> 00:03:55,678
What are you drinking?
73
00:03:55,679 --> 00:03:58,264
My own damn business, why?
74
00:03:58,265 --> 00:03:59,816
Can I have some?
75
00:03:59,817 --> 00:04:02,575
No, but I'm happy
to draw your picture,
76
00:04:02,576 --> 00:04:04,575
if you like.
77
00:04:04,576 --> 00:04:06,023
I already know
what I look like.
78
00:04:26,438 --> 00:04:27,852
It's on the house.
79
00:04:37,334 --> 00:04:38,678
- Hyuh!
- Ugh!
80
00:04:40,645 --> 00:04:42,092
What are you doing?!
81
00:04:42,093 --> 00:04:43,679
Stop it!
82
00:05:41,714 --> 00:05:43,057
Eh, it's hot as hell out here.
83
00:05:43,058 --> 00:05:44,954
But I guess that's Toronto
in June for you.
84
00:05:44,955 --> 00:05:46,506
So yeah, it was just
another Monday morning,
85
00:05:46,507 --> 00:05:47,920
I was riding through the park.
86
00:05:47,921 --> 00:05:50,058
I thought it was gonna be
a good day.
87
00:05:51,369 --> 00:05:52,679
Sorry for your loss.
88
00:05:54,162 --> 00:05:56,471
- We get a name?
- Mick McCarthy,
89
00:05:56,472 --> 00:05:58,609
lives out here in the park.
I'm guessing he's homeless.
90
00:05:58,610 --> 00:06:01,506
It's "unhoused,"
that's the word
91
00:06:01,507 --> 00:06:05,954
we're using these days.
It's a basic combat knife.
92
00:06:05,955 --> 00:06:08,230
About 30 bucks, standard issue.
93
00:06:08,231 --> 00:06:10,230
Every army surplus store
in town's going to have
94
00:06:10,231 --> 00:06:11,954
a few of those lying around.
95
00:06:11,955 --> 00:06:13,471
Who found the body?
96
00:06:13,472 --> 00:06:16,126
Uh, another
"unhoused" person,
97
00:06:16,127 --> 00:06:18,885
Ruth Pearson. She was over
near what's left of his tent.
98
00:06:18,886 --> 00:06:20,609
I'm guessing it burned down,
99
00:06:20,610 --> 00:06:22,230
you can smell the gasoline
from here.
100
00:06:22,231 --> 00:06:23,472
Yeah.
101
00:06:24,403 --> 00:06:26,921
Unlike this,
it smells like iced tea.
102
00:06:28,610 --> 00:06:30,333
Which one's Ruth?
103
00:06:35,645 --> 00:06:37,747
- She's right over there.
- Thank you.
104
00:06:37,748 --> 00:06:39,471
Ruth Pearson.
105
00:06:39,472 --> 00:06:42,230
I understand you found
the deceased body this morning.
106
00:06:42,231 --> 00:06:44,575
- Yes.
- I take it he was your friend.
107
00:06:44,576 --> 00:06:46,954
He was everyone's friend,
he was the mayor.
108
00:06:46,955 --> 00:06:48,057
What do you mean "mayor"?
109
00:06:48,058 --> 00:06:49,989
Mayor of White Squirrel City.
110
00:06:49,990 --> 00:06:51,817
That's what everyone called him.
111
00:06:53,748 --> 00:06:57,644
White Squirrel City, is that
some kind of inside joke?
112
00:06:57,645 --> 00:06:59,921
No, it's just stupid.
113
00:07:00,783 --> 00:07:04,471
There's a bunch of albino
squirrels who live in the park.
114
00:07:04,472 --> 00:07:06,954
So what?
Makes the boss of a bunch
115
00:07:06,955 --> 00:07:08,851
of freak show rodents?
- Roger's just pissed
116
00:07:08,852 --> 00:07:10,644
because Mick wanted him out.
117
00:07:10,645 --> 00:07:13,195
Told him to clean up his garbage
or get out.
118
00:07:13,196 --> 00:07:15,989
Fake news. Mick's a perv.
119
00:07:15,990 --> 00:07:17,678
He was hitting on Shauna.
120
00:07:17,679 --> 00:07:19,471
I was just looking out for her.
121
00:07:19,472 --> 00:07:23,023
Uh, Shauna?
Do you know where Shauna is now?
122
00:07:23,024 --> 00:07:25,231
I dunno. I haven't seen her.
123
00:07:25,921 --> 00:07:28,368
- Where you going?
- Everyone wants me to leave,
124
00:07:28,369 --> 00:07:30,333
so I'm leaving.
- I don't want you to leave,
125
00:07:30,334 --> 00:07:34,471
Roger, because I'm pretty sure
you set fire to Mick's tent.
126
00:07:34,472 --> 00:07:36,609
You wiped the gasoline
off your fingers,
127
00:07:36,610 --> 00:07:39,264
and that's too bad,
because it never really
128
00:07:39,265 --> 00:07:40,678
comes out of leather.
129
00:07:40,679 --> 00:07:43,092
But Mick wasn't in his tent.
130
00:07:43,093 --> 00:07:45,471
So now I'm thinking
that you found him
131
00:07:45,472 --> 00:07:47,540
elsewhere in the park,
beat the crap out of him
132
00:07:47,541 --> 00:07:49,195
and stabbed him
with a combat knife.
133
00:07:49,196 --> 00:07:50,609
I didn't stab anyone!
134
00:07:50,610 --> 00:07:53,679
Okay.
So why'd you torch his tent?
135
00:07:57,196 --> 00:07:59,610
Maybe somebody paid me.
136
00:08:03,541 --> 00:08:05,609
They're living right across
the street from me.
137
00:08:05,610 --> 00:08:08,161
They're doing drugs,
defecating everywhere.
138
00:08:08,162 --> 00:08:09,885
Scaring the kids,
scaring the homeowners.
139
00:08:09,886 --> 00:08:12,506
I get it, I do. I mean,
140
00:08:12,507 --> 00:08:15,333
you must have paid what,
2.8 million dollars
141
00:08:15,334 --> 00:08:18,368
to live on this park?
- 2.84, but yeah, exactly.
142
00:08:18,369 --> 00:08:19,713
What's the city doing about it?
143
00:08:19,714 --> 00:08:21,575
Agreed.
I mean, you should feel
144
00:08:21,576 --> 00:08:23,609
safe in your own backyard.
145
00:08:23,610 --> 00:08:25,540
I don't blame you
for taking matters
146
00:08:25,541 --> 00:08:27,299
into your own hands.
147
00:08:27,300 --> 00:08:29,540
Cut off the head
of the snake, right?
148
00:08:29,541 --> 00:08:31,437
Sir, a kid from the park
told us
149
00:08:31,438 --> 00:08:34,195
that you gave him 100 bucks
to burn Mick McCarthy's tent.
150
00:08:34,196 --> 00:08:36,782
No. No, I gave that kid
100 bucks
151
00:08:36,783 --> 00:08:39,057
out of the goodness of my heart.
- Right.
152
00:08:39,058 --> 00:08:42,299
Yeah, you seem very sympathetic
to the plight of the unhoused.
153
00:08:42,300 --> 00:08:44,609
I hope you got a receipt.
154
00:08:44,610 --> 00:08:47,299
Mr. Kondas, six people saw you
155
00:08:47,300 --> 00:08:49,299
fighting with
Mr. McCarthy yesterday.
156
00:08:49,300 --> 00:08:51,023
Yeah, we had words.
157
00:08:51,024 --> 00:08:52,885
Right after I found
my seven-year-old
158
00:08:52,886 --> 00:08:55,162
playing with a needle.
- Was it Mick's needle?
159
00:08:55,817 --> 00:08:57,506
I don't know
whose needle it was,
160
00:08:57,507 --> 00:08:59,575
but I do know Mick's the guy
who brought the tents here
161
00:08:59,576 --> 00:09:01,747
three months ago, and I'm pretty
sure he's a pervert.
162
00:09:01,748 --> 00:09:04,437
He's always sitting down there,
drinking from a flask,
163
00:09:04,438 --> 00:09:06,609
sketching young women
as they walk by.
164
00:09:06,610 --> 00:09:10,264
- He got what he deserved.
- What are you talking about?
165
00:09:10,265 --> 00:09:13,057
Turns out Mick was found dead
in the park this morning.
166
00:09:13,058 --> 00:09:15,506
Stabbed to death.
That's pretty clear
167
00:09:15,507 --> 00:09:17,782
you had strong feelings
about the man.
168
00:09:17,783 --> 00:09:20,678
That's absurd.
I didn't kill anyone.
169
00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:22,886
I'm an investment banker,
for God's sake.
170
00:09:23,783 --> 00:09:25,437
Ward's story checks out.
171
00:09:25,438 --> 00:09:27,471
He and his kid were at
his parents' horse farm
172
00:09:27,472 --> 00:09:29,782
in Caledon last night.
- I pity the horses.
173
00:09:29,783 --> 00:09:32,092
Yeah. Well, at least we got
him and Roger for arson,
174
00:09:32,093 --> 00:09:34,369
maybe they can be cellmates.
175
00:09:37,748 --> 00:09:40,299
Poor guy.
Hard life, hard death.
176
00:09:40,300 --> 00:09:42,023
Lots of old injuries,
but I guess that's life
177
00:09:42,024 --> 00:09:43,541
on the street for you.
178
00:09:44,817 --> 00:09:45,851
What?
179
00:09:45,852 --> 00:09:48,195
Oh, it's just...
It's not like you.
180
00:09:48,196 --> 00:09:49,575
My brother's unhoused.
181
00:09:49,576 --> 00:09:51,092
Lives under the Gardiner.
182
00:09:51,093 --> 00:09:53,575
Won't take his meds,
won't take my help.
183
00:09:53,576 --> 00:09:55,471
Breaks my heart.
184
00:09:55,472 --> 00:09:58,230
Mick McCarthy, 44,
multiple contusions
185
00:09:58,231 --> 00:10:00,920
and abrasions on the head
and torso indicating--
186
00:10:00,921 --> 00:10:02,816
- Multiple assailants.
- Correct.
187
00:10:02,817 --> 00:10:05,333
The victim was attacked,
beaten, rendered senseless,
188
00:10:05,334 --> 00:10:07,747
but cause of death
was external exsanguination
189
00:10:07,748 --> 00:10:11,196
as the result of a deep
penetrating wound to his liver.
190
00:10:12,058 --> 00:10:14,506
Wound matches the knife,
no surprise there.
191
00:10:14,507 --> 00:10:18,126
What is a surprise,
Ident got prints off the knife.
192
00:10:18,127 --> 00:10:20,057
Obviously,
prints aren't on file.
193
00:10:20,058 --> 00:10:21,161
I would have led with that.
194
00:10:21,162 --> 00:10:22,782
Any drugs or alcohol
in his system?
195
00:10:22,783 --> 00:10:26,609
No. Calling time of death
around midnight, give or take.
196
00:10:26,610 --> 00:10:29,748
It's a little early
for decomposition.
197
00:10:31,645 --> 00:10:32,920
Compressed charcoal?
198
00:10:32,921 --> 00:10:34,333
Yes. Actually, artist's grade.
199
00:10:34,334 --> 00:10:36,368
How did you know that?
- There's a sketchbook
200
00:10:36,369 --> 00:10:39,954
found on the scene.
- Clearly our man liked to draw.
201
00:10:56,093 --> 00:10:58,093
Miss? Excuse me?
202
00:11:00,024 --> 00:11:03,024
Nice fit, loser.
You look like a bucket.
203
00:11:18,127 --> 00:11:20,644
Inventory from the park.
You want flask or sketchbook?
204
00:11:20,645 --> 00:11:22,127
Dealer's choice.
205
00:11:23,093 --> 00:11:25,333
Your forensics came back.
You were right,
206
00:11:25,334 --> 00:11:27,161
nothing but iced tea in them.
207
00:11:27,162 --> 00:11:30,678
"Happy Father's Day. XO, J."
208
00:11:30,679 --> 00:11:34,333
Maybe he was holding on to this
for sentimental reasons.
209
00:11:34,334 --> 00:11:38,092
Yeah. But there's no
next of kin listed, no siblings,
210
00:11:38,093 --> 00:11:39,333
no wife, no kids.
211
00:11:39,334 --> 00:11:41,092
Could've just
picked up somewhere.
212
00:11:41,093 --> 00:11:43,816
He'd been on the street
for 12 years. Hmm.
213
00:11:43,817 --> 00:11:45,713
That's not half bad.
214
00:11:45,714 --> 00:11:47,644
Hmm. All young women, though.
215
00:11:47,645 --> 00:11:50,058
Let's not discount predator.
216
00:11:52,369 --> 00:11:57,852
Well.
That is refreshingly lo-fi.
217
00:12:03,093 --> 00:12:06,092
That's Alice. She walks
her pug here every night.
218
00:12:06,093 --> 00:12:08,195
And that's Shauna.
She lives in one of the tents.
219
00:12:08,196 --> 00:12:11,092
That V-shape on her forehead,
is she Indigenous?
220
00:12:11,093 --> 00:12:12,782
- Mm-hmm
- I wondered if those
221
00:12:12,783 --> 00:12:16,092
were kakiniit markings.
- Kakiniit?
222
00:12:16,093 --> 00:12:18,092
Inuit tattoos.
They put the V-shape
223
00:12:18,093 --> 00:12:19,954
on their forehead
to celebrate entering womanhood.
224
00:12:19,955 --> 00:12:22,713
And yeah, she's from Iqaluit, originally.
225
00:12:22,714 --> 00:12:24,609
Have you seen Shauna today?
226
00:12:24,610 --> 00:12:26,471
No, but I've been
at my girlfriend's house
227
00:12:26,472 --> 00:12:28,782
since yesterday morning.
- And you own this property.
228
00:12:28,783 --> 00:12:32,816
Right?
But you're pro-encampment.
229
00:12:32,817 --> 00:12:34,609
Seeing these folks
set up camp,
230
00:12:34,610 --> 00:12:37,437
getting to know them,
hearing their stories.
231
00:12:37,438 --> 00:12:39,092
I don't know,
it got me fired up.
232
00:12:39,093 --> 00:12:41,506
The NIMBY narrative
about the unhoused is so scary.
233
00:12:41,507 --> 00:12:43,230
- What do you mean?
- Well, it's just
234
00:12:43,231 --> 00:12:45,989
fabricated truths.
They're gonna drain the system,
235
00:12:45,990 --> 00:12:47,954
harass the normals.
Steal your packages.
236
00:12:47,955 --> 00:12:49,816
It's just not true.
237
00:12:49,817 --> 00:12:52,368
So why was Mick McCarthy
calling you?
238
00:12:52,369 --> 00:12:54,506
I'm an independent filmmaker,
we were talking,
239
00:12:54,507 --> 00:12:56,299
working on something together.
240
00:12:56,300 --> 00:12:57,747
Working on what, exactly?
241
00:12:57,748 --> 00:13:00,471
A documentary
about the encampment.
242
00:13:00,472 --> 00:13:02,644
The stories of the residents,
intercut with reactions
243
00:13:02,645 --> 00:13:03,954
from people around the park,
244
00:13:03,955 --> 00:13:05,437
cinema vérité style,
you know?
245
00:13:05,438 --> 00:13:07,885
So you know the community.
246
00:13:07,886 --> 00:13:10,092
Did you notice anything
strange yesterday?
247
00:13:10,093 --> 00:13:13,161
Well, I caught Ward Kondas
having a fight with Mick,
248
00:13:13,162 --> 00:13:14,471
but otherwise, no.
249
00:13:14,472 --> 00:13:16,231
Caught it, like what,
on your phone?
250
00:13:17,231 --> 00:13:18,540
Oh, we're gonna need
to see that.
251
00:13:18,541 --> 00:13:20,782
- Sure.
- And you said vérité, right?
252
00:13:20,783 --> 00:13:22,678
You find the stories
in the footage,
253
00:13:22,679 --> 00:13:24,609
fly on the wall stuff.
254
00:13:24,610 --> 00:13:25,885
So where's the rest
of the cameras?
255
00:13:25,886 --> 00:13:27,678
You can't be out in the park
all of the time,
256
00:13:27,679 --> 00:13:29,714
you must have a few
cameras planted.
257
00:13:34,783 --> 00:13:37,506
It's not a great angle,
but there he is.
258
00:13:43,058 --> 00:13:44,369
Could you slow it down?
259
00:13:48,058 --> 00:13:50,127
Uh, up the exposure a bit.
260
00:13:54,334 --> 00:13:56,472
Mick sees something there.
261
00:13:59,507 --> 00:14:00,886
Zoom in.
262
00:14:07,438 --> 00:14:09,265
Oh my God, it's a swarming.
263
00:14:21,886 --> 00:14:24,471
So, navy hoodie
approaches our victim
264
00:14:24,472 --> 00:14:26,713
who's just sitting,
sketching in the park.
265
00:14:26,714 --> 00:14:30,610
He draws her, and he hands
the sketch over and walks away.
266
00:14:32,921 --> 00:14:36,817
And now, that's when the two
other assailants show up.
267
00:14:37,679 --> 00:14:41,161
Boom. So now we got navy hoodie,
268
00:14:41,162 --> 00:14:44,195
black balaclava and red bandana.
All disguised.
269
00:14:44,196 --> 00:14:46,954
- Anyone holding a knife?
- Not that we can see.
270
00:14:46,955 --> 00:14:48,816
God, they look like kids.
271
00:14:48,817 --> 00:14:51,713
Yeah, we think they are kids.
Body language tracks.
272
00:14:51,714 --> 00:14:53,920
Fast, awkward and look
at what they're wearing.
273
00:14:53,921 --> 00:14:56,437
Balaclava's wearing
Bluebird Veloce sneakers,
274
00:14:56,438 --> 00:14:58,747
but aside from that,
it's a basic teenage uniform.
275
00:14:58,748 --> 00:15:00,782
- So what are we doing?
- I'm working with the video
276
00:15:00,783 --> 00:15:03,609
forensics team going through
CCTV footage in the area.
277
00:15:03,610 --> 00:15:05,437
We've also got the C3 unit
putting a net
278
00:15:05,438 --> 00:15:07,506
over the area of the crime,
pulling all the social media
279
00:15:07,507 --> 00:15:08,885
from that timeframe.
280
00:15:08,886 --> 00:15:10,990
Okay, we'll leave you to it.
281
00:15:12,679 --> 00:15:15,678
Three masked teenage girls
kill an unhoused man
282
00:15:15,679 --> 00:15:18,023
in Montrose Park,
well this is gonna be a ride.
283
00:15:18,024 --> 00:15:20,782
Okay, was it random?
Was it premeditated?
284
00:15:20,783 --> 00:15:22,920
What are your instincts?
- I don't know.
285
00:15:22,921 --> 00:15:25,506
Youth violence is up higher
than it's been in five decades.
286
00:15:25,507 --> 00:15:27,713
At least once a week,
my kid comes home,
287
00:15:27,714 --> 00:15:30,161
shows me video of a fight that
took place in her schoolyard.
288
00:15:30,162 --> 00:15:33,368
So what, Lord of the Flies.
Gang initiation.
289
00:15:33,369 --> 00:15:35,195
Adolescent hysteria. What?
290
00:15:35,196 --> 00:15:37,092
Well, maybe it was motivated.
291
00:15:37,093 --> 00:15:39,747
Fear? Revenge?
At least two people
292
00:15:39,748 --> 00:15:43,368
have suggested that Mick
is a predator.
293
00:15:43,369 --> 00:15:45,540
Who's this? She looks about
the same age as the girls
294
00:15:45,541 --> 00:15:47,782
in the video.
- That's Shauna.
295
00:15:47,783 --> 00:15:50,230
We don't know her last name.
Inuk.
296
00:15:50,231 --> 00:15:51,609
She lived in the tents,
297
00:15:51,610 --> 00:15:54,576
and she hasn't been seen
since the night of.
298
00:15:55,369 --> 00:15:57,747
Well, if Mick was
harassing her or abusing her,
299
00:15:57,748 --> 00:15:59,368
she'd definitely have motive.
300
00:15:59,369 --> 00:16:00,954
And it sure as hell
might explain
301
00:16:00,955 --> 00:16:02,783
why she made herself scarce.
302
00:16:05,093 --> 00:16:07,747
So, you work with
the unhoused in the area.
303
00:16:07,748 --> 00:16:10,264
Uh, I always
feel like a tool,
304
00:16:10,265 --> 00:16:12,506
handing out cocktail party
sandwiches to these folks,
305
00:16:12,507 --> 00:16:15,057
but we take what we can get.
306
00:16:15,058 --> 00:16:17,127
I was, uh...
307
00:16:18,024 --> 00:16:20,645
sorry to hear about Mick.
Thanks.
308
00:16:21,127 --> 00:16:24,506
He was a great guy,
I've known him for a while now.
309
00:16:24,507 --> 00:16:26,161
What about this woman here?
310
00:16:26,162 --> 00:16:28,092
Yeah. Yeah, sure.
That's Shauna Kanuk.
311
00:16:28,093 --> 00:16:29,885
My partner and I drove her
to Ellie's
312
00:16:29,886 --> 00:16:31,126
the same night Mick died.
313
00:16:31,127 --> 00:16:33,230
It's a woman's shelter
on Dundas.
314
00:16:33,231 --> 00:16:35,678
- What time you drop her off?
- Almost 2 a.m.?
315
00:16:35,679 --> 00:16:37,368
There had been a fire
in one of the tents,
316
00:16:37,369 --> 00:16:39,161
she said she was just too scared
to go back.
317
00:16:39,162 --> 00:16:41,196
I was just glad they had
a bed for her.
318
00:16:46,024 --> 00:16:47,437
I knew Mick wasn't
in his tent,
319
00:16:47,438 --> 00:16:49,265
so I thought that he'd be okay.
320
00:16:51,300 --> 00:16:53,506
Was it Roger
that did this to him?
321
00:16:53,507 --> 00:16:55,678
Roger lit the fire,
but he didn't kill Mick,
322
00:16:55,679 --> 00:16:57,230
and that's why we're here.
323
00:16:57,231 --> 00:16:59,230
Shauna.
What was your relationship
324
00:16:59,231 --> 00:17:00,437
with Mick McCarthy?
325
00:17:00,438 --> 00:17:02,678
- What do you mean?
- Were you friends?
326
00:17:02,679 --> 00:17:04,920
Were you lovers?
Is there any way
327
00:17:04,921 --> 00:17:06,540
in which he was taking
advantage of you?
328
00:17:06,541 --> 00:17:10,195
No, Mick was more like my dad
than anything else.
329
00:17:10,196 --> 00:17:14,438
Actually, he was a lot better
than my dad. My dad's a fool.
330
00:17:15,127 --> 00:17:16,610
Mick took care of me.
331
00:17:17,300 --> 00:17:20,126
He brought me food,
he set up my tent,
332
00:17:20,127 --> 00:17:22,506
he bought me a phone.
333
00:17:22,507 --> 00:17:26,368
Mick was like my dad,
and my brother,
334
00:17:26,369 --> 00:17:28,817
and my bodyguard.
335
00:17:29,541 --> 00:17:32,126
So yeah, we were friends.
336
00:17:32,127 --> 00:17:34,471
It's just that
in his sketchbook
337
00:17:34,472 --> 00:17:36,816
that we found at the scene,
338
00:17:36,817 --> 00:17:38,817
there's a lot
of drawings of you.
339
00:17:43,300 --> 00:17:45,678
My God.
340
00:17:45,679 --> 00:17:49,333
I told him to get rid
of half of these. I look awful.
341
00:17:49,334 --> 00:17:53,575
Shauna, they're all drawings
of young women.
342
00:17:53,576 --> 00:17:57,126
Yeah, that's because
that's what was missing for him.
343
00:17:57,127 --> 00:17:59,920
That was the hole in his heart.
344
00:17:59,921 --> 00:18:02,816
Mick had a girlfriend.
345
00:18:02,817 --> 00:18:04,920
They had a little girl together,
346
00:18:04,921 --> 00:18:09,402
but he lost
both of them years ago.
347
00:18:09,403 --> 00:18:11,954
That's why he got so messed up.
348
00:18:11,955 --> 00:18:15,368
It's like that for half
the people in these tents.
349
00:18:15,369 --> 00:18:18,747
You know, people think
that it's laziness or lifestyle,
350
00:18:18,748 --> 00:18:20,609
but...
351
00:18:20,610 --> 00:18:22,886
sometimes,
it's just plain old grief.
352
00:18:24,162 --> 00:18:25,713
We've got a hit
on navy hoodie
353
00:18:25,714 --> 00:18:27,920
through social media.
12:20 a.m.
354
00:18:27,921 --> 00:18:30,540
Two wasted dudes on
the streetcar livestreaming.
355
00:18:30,541 --> 00:18:32,230
Who knows why,
it doesn't matter,
356
00:18:32,231 --> 00:18:36,195
but navy hoodie was there.
College streetcar, eastbound.
357
00:18:36,196 --> 00:18:38,195
We pulled transit
security footage,
358
00:18:38,196 --> 00:18:39,575
she's next to the two guys.
359
00:18:39,576 --> 00:18:41,609
Okay, where'd she get off?
360
00:18:41,610 --> 00:18:42,954
Not sure yet.
361
00:18:42,955 --> 00:18:44,989
Two guys got off at Yonge,
362
00:18:44,990 --> 00:18:46,886
this is from their livestream.
363
00:18:48,679 --> 00:18:51,126
Ah, how come we didn't see
that logo on the other footage?
364
00:18:51,127 --> 00:18:53,885
That was her disguise,
she's reversed it
365
00:18:53,886 --> 00:18:56,886
to hide the logo.
- T-S-N, what's that?
366
00:18:57,748 --> 00:18:58,989
Taylor Swift Nation?
367
00:18:58,990 --> 00:19:00,540
Um...
368
00:19:00,541 --> 00:19:02,989
What can I say,
the woman's a poet.
369
00:19:02,990 --> 00:19:05,023
Or it's TSN Collegiate
in Scarborough.
370
00:19:05,024 --> 00:19:06,540
I played basketball against them
a few times.
371
00:19:06,541 --> 00:19:08,886
And that is a far
better guess. Good man.
372
00:19:12,472 --> 00:19:13,851
This is absurd.
373
00:19:13,852 --> 00:19:15,575
My daughter is a good kid.
374
00:19:15,576 --> 00:19:17,161
Works here every night.
375
00:19:17,162 --> 00:19:18,713
Was she working on Sunday?
376
00:19:18,714 --> 00:19:20,747
Because a teacher
at TSN Collegiate
377
00:19:20,748 --> 00:19:22,713
identified Leila as the same kid
378
00:19:22,714 --> 00:19:24,851
we saw headed eastbound
on a College streetcar
379
00:19:24,852 --> 00:19:26,506
at 12:20 a.m.
380
00:19:26,507 --> 00:19:29,989
No. She was at home.
In her room.
381
00:19:29,990 --> 00:19:31,507
Leila.
382
00:19:33,058 --> 00:19:34,058
Leila!
383
00:19:35,438 --> 00:19:37,678
It was the first time
we were meeting up in real life.
384
00:19:37,679 --> 00:19:40,713
- Who were you meeting?
- These two girls.
385
00:19:40,714 --> 00:19:42,954
We became friends online
a few months ago.
386
00:19:42,955 --> 00:19:45,023
We just thought
it would be funny, you know?
387
00:19:45,024 --> 00:19:48,126
Funny. What would be funny?
388
00:19:48,127 --> 00:19:50,057
Uh, meeting up.
Without seeing
389
00:19:50,058 --> 00:19:53,368
each other's faces.
So like, no judgment
390
00:19:53,369 --> 00:19:55,609
about how we look,
or where we're from.
391
00:19:55,610 --> 00:19:57,127
So you met up in disguise?
392
00:19:58,921 --> 00:20:00,989
We met in an alley.
393
00:20:00,990 --> 00:20:02,851
We were going to go
into a corner store,
394
00:20:02,852 --> 00:20:05,748
to boost some Red Bull,
or something.
395
00:20:07,403 --> 00:20:08,921
Smoke some weed.
396
00:20:10,231 --> 00:20:14,333
But then, afterwards,
we started walking into a park.
397
00:20:14,334 --> 00:20:16,954
And the girl
in the black mask thing,
398
00:20:16,955 --> 00:20:19,264
she told me to go up
to the homeless guy,
399
00:20:19,265 --> 00:20:20,816
get his alcohol.
400
00:20:20,817 --> 00:20:23,161
I did, but he said no.
401
00:20:23,162 --> 00:20:26,540
And then, after that,
it was a blur.
402
00:20:26,541 --> 00:20:28,368
Do you know who brought
the knife?
403
00:20:28,369 --> 00:20:30,851
No. I got there late.
404
00:20:30,852 --> 00:20:33,955
They were already talking,
and I didn't even see a knife.
405
00:20:35,058 --> 00:20:37,196
I don't even know
who these girls are.
406
00:20:37,748 --> 00:20:40,023
And the chatroom that we've been
using's been shut down.
407
00:20:40,024 --> 00:20:42,023
So you don't
even know their names.
408
00:20:42,024 --> 00:20:45,299
The girl in the black mask
was Iko.
409
00:20:45,300 --> 00:20:48,023
She was the one
who started the chat.
410
00:20:48,024 --> 00:20:49,540
But I never saw her face.
411
00:20:49,541 --> 00:20:51,783
What about the girl
in the red bandana?
412
00:20:52,507 --> 00:20:56,023
She had an accent.
Really strong.
413
00:20:56,024 --> 00:20:58,644
Her screen name was Dost Kara.
414
00:20:58,645 --> 00:21:01,852
But I figured her real name
must be Kara Dost.
415
00:21:04,783 --> 00:21:07,920
So my gun arm comes up
and around, block my arm.
416
00:21:07,921 --> 00:21:11,471
Disarm the gun, it goes down.
Nice. Do the throw.
417
00:21:11,472 --> 00:21:15,093
I go down. Okay? Go in again.
Alright.
418
00:21:15,990 --> 00:21:18,403
Okay. Ready?
419
00:21:20,265 --> 00:21:21,609
I'm so sorry!
420
00:21:21,610 --> 00:21:24,747
No, no! You're not gonna
hurt me, I promise, okay?
421
00:21:24,748 --> 00:21:26,678
You've just gotta lean into it,
you know?
422
00:21:26,679 --> 00:21:28,747
Um, Ava, can you come help me?
423
00:21:28,748 --> 00:21:30,540
Katie, why don't you just
step off for a second?
424
00:21:30,541 --> 00:21:33,264
Just watch, okay?
- Okay.
425
00:21:33,265 --> 00:21:35,920
Okay, babe. So gun arm's
gonna come up and around,
426
00:21:35,921 --> 00:21:37,644
you're gonna block my arm--
- Yeah, I got it.
427
00:21:37,645 --> 00:21:38,748
I was watching.
428
00:21:45,610 --> 00:21:48,162
Aw, yeah. Ha!
429
00:21:48,783 --> 00:21:50,471
That's my girl.
430
00:21:50,472 --> 00:21:52,368
Okay, Katie,
see what we're doing here?
431
00:21:52,369 --> 00:21:54,541
Fight back a little bit,
you know?
432
00:21:57,369 --> 00:21:59,264
Mark's working on Leila's
phone right now,
433
00:21:59,265 --> 00:22:01,023
but she's right,
the chatroom is gone.
434
00:22:01,024 --> 00:22:03,161
It was on Ghostgram,
it's made for
435
00:22:03,162 --> 00:22:05,368
this kind of anonymous stuff,
it's gonna be hard to track.
436
00:22:05,369 --> 00:22:08,437
You find anything on Kara Dost?
- Maybe, I think I have a lead.
437
00:22:08,438 --> 00:22:10,782
Dost means friend in Hindi.
438
00:22:10,783 --> 00:22:13,851
Dost also means friend or ally
in Persian and Turkish.
439
00:22:13,852 --> 00:22:16,092
Dost Kara,
Dost Kara got me thinking,
440
00:22:16,093 --> 00:22:17,954
I knew I'd heard it before.
441
00:22:17,955 --> 00:22:21,471
There was this political
dissident from Turkey last year.
442
00:22:21,472 --> 00:22:23,609
Altan Balik.
443
00:22:23,610 --> 00:22:26,609
He was getting out of prison,
and he turns to the camera,
444
00:22:26,610 --> 00:22:30,471
and he says,
"Dost kara g ünde belli olush,"
445
00:22:30,472 --> 00:22:32,575
I made a meal of that.
But the gist of it is,
446
00:22:32,576 --> 00:22:34,954
"A real friend is known
in times of trouble."
447
00:22:34,955 --> 00:22:36,747
Okay, so red bandana
could be Turkish?
448
00:22:36,748 --> 00:22:39,747
Yeah, and she could be
his daughter.
449
00:22:39,748 --> 00:22:43,471
Turns out, Altan Balik
came to Toronto six months ago,
450
00:22:43,472 --> 00:22:46,575
and according to that,
he's living in North York
451
00:22:46,576 --> 00:22:49,093
with his wife
and two teenage daughters.
452
00:22:52,507 --> 00:22:53,885
Nothing to see here, detectives.
453
00:22:53,886 --> 00:22:56,195
It's two rooms, four people.
454
00:22:56,196 --> 00:22:58,264
A thousand mice
in the walls.
455
00:22:58,265 --> 00:23:01,230
Well, it was very brave
of you to leave your country.
456
00:23:01,231 --> 00:23:03,334
It would have braver
of me to stay.
457
00:23:05,058 --> 00:23:07,264
So what do you want
with my daughter?
458
00:23:07,265 --> 00:23:09,989
You see, we have reason
to believe that a young woman
459
00:23:09,990 --> 00:23:12,333
operating under the name
of Dost Kara
460
00:23:12,334 --> 00:23:16,127
was involved in a violent
incident on Sunday night.
461
00:23:17,300 --> 00:23:20,678
Felice, you are under
no obligation to speak with us.
462
00:23:20,679 --> 00:23:23,403
And if you want a lawyer,
we'll get you one, no charge.
463
00:23:24,231 --> 00:23:25,747
But, sir,
464
00:23:25,748 --> 00:23:27,885
we will need your daughter
to accompany us
465
00:23:27,886 --> 00:23:29,333
to the station.
466
00:23:29,334 --> 00:23:32,333
And if her prints match
those on the weapon,
467
00:23:32,334 --> 00:23:33,955
then we have a problem.
468
00:23:36,196 --> 00:23:37,713
If I say no?
469
00:23:37,714 --> 00:23:39,471
Then I'm sorry,
470
00:23:39,472 --> 00:23:41,195
we'll have to pull her prints
from immigration.
471
00:23:41,196 --> 00:23:44,265
Don't bother.
Because you're right.
472
00:23:46,265 --> 00:23:47,885
I did it.
473
00:23:47,886 --> 00:23:50,162
I stabbed a man in the park
on Sunday night.
474
00:24:00,852 --> 00:24:03,678
So, Felice, turns out
your fingerprints
475
00:24:03,679 --> 00:24:05,816
match the prints we found
on the knife that killed
476
00:24:05,817 --> 00:24:07,506
Mick McCarthy.
The evidence lines up,
477
00:24:07,507 --> 00:24:09,920
you stabbed him,
and then he died.
478
00:24:09,921 --> 00:24:12,575
- Whatever you say.
- No, it's not whatever we say,
479
00:24:12,576 --> 00:24:15,299
it's whatever you say
right now that counts.
480
00:24:15,300 --> 00:24:19,265
So, how about we start
with the truth?
481
00:24:21,196 --> 00:24:23,644
You want to know the truth?
Here it is.
482
00:24:23,645 --> 00:24:26,092
Felice came from Istanbul
to Toronto six months ago
483
00:24:26,093 --> 00:24:27,782
after being persecuted
for her father's
484
00:24:27,783 --> 00:24:30,368
so-called crimes.
After being beaten
485
00:24:30,369 --> 00:24:32,609
at a student protest when
she questioned the government.
486
00:24:32,610 --> 00:24:35,954
- Yeah, we understand that.
- Felice Balik is 15 years old.
487
00:24:35,955 --> 00:24:38,713
She's a minor.
She's being bullied.
488
00:24:38,714 --> 00:24:39,885
That doesn't give her
the right
489
00:24:39,886 --> 00:24:41,126
to stab a man to death.
490
00:24:41,127 --> 00:24:43,126
Nothing justifies murder.
491
00:24:43,127 --> 00:24:46,264
I have file upon file
about trauma.
492
00:24:46,265 --> 00:24:50,955
PTSD. Dissociation in minors.
- Yeah, we also have a file.
493
00:24:59,852 --> 00:25:01,438
I didn't mean to do it, alright?
494
00:25:02,127 --> 00:25:04,471
It was supposed to scare him,
not kill him.
495
00:25:04,472 --> 00:25:07,057
A prank, "kick the bucket,"
move on. That's what's she said.
496
00:25:07,058 --> 00:25:09,540
Sorry, "kick the bucket."
What does that mean?
497
00:25:09,541 --> 00:25:11,851
That's what she called them.
Homeless people.
498
00:25:11,852 --> 00:25:15,231
They, they pee in a bucket,
they collect change in a bucket.
499
00:25:16,472 --> 00:25:18,644
So why did you stab him
500
00:25:18,645 --> 00:25:20,368
if you were just trying
to scare him?
501
00:25:20,369 --> 00:25:22,264
Because it wasn't real.
502
00:25:22,265 --> 00:25:23,713
The knife, it was fake.
503
00:25:23,714 --> 00:25:26,057
Well, I'm sure Mr. McCarthy
would beg to differ.
504
00:25:26,058 --> 00:25:28,023
She stabbed it into
her own leg, nothing happened.
505
00:25:28,024 --> 00:25:30,264
The blade disappeared
into the handle.
506
00:25:30,265 --> 00:25:32,368
And then she gave it
to me to use.
507
00:25:32,369 --> 00:25:35,333
It was supposed to be
like a joke.
508
00:25:35,334 --> 00:25:37,713
We do this thing together,
she said.
509
00:25:37,714 --> 00:25:40,161
We'd be bonded,
friends for life.
510
00:25:40,162 --> 00:25:43,782
You keep talking about she.
Who is she?
511
00:25:43,783 --> 00:25:45,989
Her screen name was Iko.
512
00:25:45,990 --> 00:25:48,126
I never saw her face,
she had the best disguise
513
00:25:48,127 --> 00:25:50,230
out of all of us.
A black mask,
514
00:25:50,231 --> 00:25:52,920
it covered her whole face.
515
00:25:52,921 --> 00:25:54,955
I have no idea
what she looks like.
516
00:25:57,610 --> 00:25:59,368
So we've got our killer.
517
00:25:59,369 --> 00:26:03,126
Felice Balik, 15 years old,
recent immigrant from Turkey.
518
00:26:03,127 --> 00:26:06,540
She's confessed,
admits to killing Mick McCarthy
519
00:26:06,541 --> 00:26:09,092
with the knife we found
at the scene.
520
00:26:09,093 --> 00:26:12,057
- But...
- Kid says she didn't
521
00:26:12,058 --> 00:26:13,575
know what she was doing.
522
00:26:13,576 --> 00:26:15,092
She's saying she thought
it was a fake knife,
523
00:26:15,093 --> 00:26:16,747
she thought it was a joke.
524
00:26:16,748 --> 00:26:18,609
Well, that's a hell of a joke.
525
00:26:18,610 --> 00:26:19,816
- Yeah.
- Do you believe her?
526
00:26:19,817 --> 00:26:21,816
- I think we do.
- Doesn't change the fact
527
00:26:21,817 --> 00:26:24,264
that we have a confession.
528
00:26:24,265 --> 00:26:28,851
I mean, Theo, we can pull
the trigger on this right now.
529
00:26:28,852 --> 00:26:31,540
Bump Felice up to adult court,
charge her with second degree,
530
00:26:31,541 --> 00:26:33,093
possibly first.
531
00:26:37,093 --> 00:26:40,747
I came here from Jamaica
when I was seven years old.
532
00:26:40,748 --> 00:26:42,609
Moved in with my grandmother.
533
00:26:42,610 --> 00:26:44,161
My mom was stuck in Kingston,
534
00:26:44,162 --> 00:26:46,990
but that's a whole other story.
535
00:26:48,024 --> 00:26:51,402
First and only time
I got suspended from school,
536
00:26:51,403 --> 00:26:53,885
I threw a snowball at a teacher.
537
00:26:53,886 --> 00:26:57,471
Kid handed me a snowball,
told me it'd be fun, funny.
538
00:26:57,472 --> 00:26:59,023
That by acting
like a jackass,
539
00:26:59,024 --> 00:27:00,576
I'd finally fit in.
540
00:27:02,334 --> 00:27:04,058
Snowball had a rock in it.
541
00:27:05,438 --> 00:27:07,782
I remember that teacher
staring at me,
542
00:27:07,783 --> 00:27:10,679
confused,
blood coming down his face.
543
00:27:13,093 --> 00:27:15,024
I'm not feeling
this story just yet.
544
00:27:15,886 --> 00:27:18,023
I'm not gonna prosecute
this young woman
545
00:27:18,024 --> 00:27:20,161
until I have some idea
of what really happened
546
00:27:20,162 --> 00:27:21,679
or what she did.
547
00:27:23,886 --> 00:27:25,333
So if Felice threw
the snowball,
548
00:27:25,334 --> 00:27:27,816
who planted the rock?
All we know is her name is Iko.
549
00:27:27,817 --> 00:27:30,678
Black balaclava,
the best disguise.
550
00:27:30,679 --> 00:27:33,437
She really didn't want those
other girls seeing her face.
551
00:27:33,438 --> 00:27:34,678
What was she wearing again?
552
00:27:34,679 --> 00:27:36,885
Grey sweats.
Those fancy sneakers
553
00:27:36,886 --> 00:27:38,161
with the bluebird on them.
554
00:27:38,162 --> 00:27:39,644
She was the one who started
the chatroom.
555
00:27:39,645 --> 00:27:41,437
And the one who dissolved it.
556
00:27:41,438 --> 00:27:43,575
She made some
vulnerable friends online,
557
00:27:43,576 --> 00:27:46,678
and then weaponized them into
killing an unhoused man. Why?
558
00:27:46,679 --> 00:27:48,678
Well, maybe he insulted her
on the street.
559
00:27:48,679 --> 00:27:52,506
Maybe she drew a picture
one day, she didn't like it.
560
00:27:52,507 --> 00:27:54,264
Maybe she lives in the area
and doesn't like having
561
00:27:54,265 --> 00:27:57,161
all those tents in her park,
I mean teenage NIMBY?
562
00:27:57,162 --> 00:27:59,368
I'm sure they exist. Ketchup?
563
00:27:59,369 --> 00:28:01,093
I'm sorry, have we met?
564
00:28:03,472 --> 00:28:07,506
Okay, so maybe we go back
to the rock in the snowball.
565
00:28:07,507 --> 00:28:11,402
Felice said the knife was
a joke knife, a prank knife.
566
00:28:11,403 --> 00:28:13,333
But she said
that it felt real.
567
00:28:13,334 --> 00:28:14,990
Maybe we figure out why.
568
00:28:20,576 --> 00:28:22,195
we're the only real game
in town.
569
00:28:22,196 --> 00:28:24,230
A couple of clown operations
up in North York,
570
00:28:24,231 --> 00:28:25,954
but their props are garbage.
571
00:28:25,955 --> 00:28:27,921
What kind of knife
are you looking for?
572
00:28:30,024 --> 00:28:32,540
Ooh. That the real knife
the bad guy used?
573
00:28:32,541 --> 00:28:34,989
No, but it's the same
make and model.
574
00:28:34,990 --> 00:28:36,989
Can I ask what the crime was?
575
00:28:36,990 --> 00:28:38,471
No, Brando, you cannot.
576
00:28:38,472 --> 00:28:40,816
I'm merely curious to know
if you have a prop knife
577
00:28:40,817 --> 00:28:43,196
in stock that matches this one.
578
00:28:47,679 --> 00:28:49,920
Wee, wee!
579
00:28:49,921 --> 00:28:53,402
It's a very common model,
we rent out a lot of these.
580
00:28:53,403 --> 00:28:55,368
Dull retractable blade,
but otherwise,
581
00:28:55,369 --> 00:28:56,920
pretty much identical.
582
00:28:56,921 --> 00:28:59,402
Who do you rent to?
- Mostly props people.
583
00:28:59,403 --> 00:29:01,333
Sometimes stunts, prosthetics.
584
00:29:01,334 --> 00:29:03,747
We try not to rent
to the general public.
585
00:29:03,748 --> 00:29:05,333
You don't want normals running
around with those things,
586
00:29:05,334 --> 00:29:06,540
am I right?
- Mm.
587
00:29:06,541 --> 00:29:07,954
Right.
588
00:29:07,955 --> 00:29:09,678
Brando, we're gonna need
a list of everyone
589
00:29:09,679 --> 00:29:11,644
who rented that model
in the last six months.
590
00:29:11,645 --> 00:29:14,196
Yeah, happy to help.
591
00:29:15,196 --> 00:29:19,747
Anna Wilson, props,
shooting a feature in Sudbury,
592
00:29:19,748 --> 00:29:21,196
no kids.
593
00:29:22,817 --> 00:29:25,747
Ron Head,
props master on The Girls,
594
00:29:25,748 --> 00:29:28,195
but it says here he's already
returned it. You got anything?
595
00:29:28,196 --> 00:29:31,230
Yeah. Jade Lancaster.
She's a stunt coordinator,
596
00:29:31,231 --> 00:29:33,230
hasn't returned the knife.
597
00:29:33,231 --> 00:29:36,955
She lives on Grace,
just near Montrose Park.
598
00:29:38,955 --> 00:29:42,092
Uh... Looks like she's pretty
big on social media,
599
00:29:42,093 --> 00:29:43,609
for whatever that's worth.
600
00:29:43,610 --> 00:29:45,679
These days, that can actually
be worth quite a lot.
601
00:29:46,990 --> 00:29:49,300
And that looks like
a teenage girl to me.
602
00:29:50,265 --> 00:29:53,782
Hashtag "mother-daughter BFFs,"
hashtag "twinsies,"
603
00:29:53,783 --> 00:29:56,023
hashtag "singlemomlife."
604
00:29:56,024 --> 00:29:57,541
- You mind?
- No.
605
00:29:59,610 --> 00:30:01,990
♪ I'm like a bird
606
00:30:06,300 --> 00:30:09,161
- Graff. Those are the shoes.
- Yeah.
607
00:30:09,162 --> 00:30:10,506
- Iko was wearing those shoes.
- Yeah.
608
00:30:10,507 --> 00:30:12,092
Nikita's obsessed with them,
609
00:30:12,093 --> 00:30:16,092
they're limited edition
Veloce's, they go for 800 bucks,
610
00:30:16,093 --> 00:30:18,092
at least, if you can get
your hands on them.
611
00:30:18,093 --> 00:30:21,540
Honestly, I'm more excited
about the rabbit.
612
00:30:21,541 --> 00:30:22,990
Look.
613
00:30:25,369 --> 00:30:26,920
He was making fun of us!
614
00:30:26,921 --> 00:30:30,057
Our videos, saying horrible
things right to my face, okay?
615
00:30:30,058 --> 00:30:31,575
You always told me
to fight back.
616
00:30:31,576 --> 00:30:34,057
Okay, Ava, could you
just give us a minute, please?
617
00:30:34,058 --> 00:30:35,541
Thank you.
618
00:30:36,369 --> 00:30:39,126
Mrs. Lee, I'm so sorry about
what happened at lunch today,
619
00:30:39,127 --> 00:30:42,092
and I know Ava is too.
It's just...
620
00:30:42,093 --> 00:30:45,023
Ava reacts strongly
to aggressive men.
621
00:30:45,024 --> 00:30:48,885
- I don't understand.
- Ava's dad.
622
00:30:48,886 --> 00:30:52,092
He was extremely abusive.
- Oh!
623
00:30:52,093 --> 00:30:54,471
- Verbally, physically.
- I'm so sorry.
624
00:30:54,472 --> 00:30:57,161
Now we have her
in therapy, but...
625
00:30:57,162 --> 00:30:59,506
once in a while, she overreacts.
626
00:30:59,507 --> 00:31:01,989
Of course, Ryan should never
had made fun of her.
627
00:31:01,990 --> 00:31:03,402
I'll talk to him.
628
00:31:03,403 --> 00:31:04,954
Ava's a good kid.
629
00:31:04,955 --> 00:31:07,023
But I'll keep
a closer eye on her.
630
00:31:07,024 --> 00:31:10,093
She won't hurt anyone else.
- Thanks, Jade.
631
00:31:16,748 --> 00:31:18,678
Ava Lancaster.
15 years old,
632
00:31:18,679 --> 00:31:21,402
lives with her stunt coordinator
mother near the park.
633
00:31:21,403 --> 00:31:23,195
Very expensive taste in shoes.
634
00:31:23,196 --> 00:31:25,575
Ava makes some impressionable
friends online,
635
00:31:25,576 --> 00:31:27,644
she takes one of her mother's
prop knives,
636
00:31:27,645 --> 00:31:29,368
Ava's grown up around props
her whole life,
637
00:31:29,369 --> 00:31:30,747
she's gotta know how they work.
638
00:31:30,748 --> 00:31:33,126
So she buys a real knife
that matches the prop,
639
00:31:33,127 --> 00:31:34,954
and tricks one of her
new friends
640
00:31:34,955 --> 00:31:37,989
into stabbing Mick McCarthy.
Okay. But why?
641
00:31:37,990 --> 00:31:40,920
He drew her. He knew her.
642
00:31:40,921 --> 00:31:42,989
And according to his friend
Shauna,
643
00:31:42,990 --> 00:31:45,506
Mick had a girlfriend,
they had a little girl together,
644
00:31:45,507 --> 00:31:47,782
but he lost them both.
- And as you can see
645
00:31:47,783 --> 00:31:50,471
in the photo there,
that tatty old rabbit
646
00:31:50,472 --> 00:31:52,230
pried a place on her bed.
647
00:31:52,231 --> 00:31:54,402
We got to thinking that maybe
she's had it
648
00:31:54,403 --> 00:31:56,609
since she was a little girl.
Maybe Mick gave it to her
649
00:31:56,610 --> 00:31:58,402
as a child.
- Are you suggesting
650
00:31:58,403 --> 00:32:00,713
that Mick McCarthy
is Ava's father?
651
00:32:00,714 --> 00:32:03,127
We're not suggesting it.
We know it.
652
00:32:04,645 --> 00:32:05,852
Ava's birth certificate.
653
00:32:06,748 --> 00:32:09,092
Why would Ava kill her father?
654
00:32:09,093 --> 00:32:10,851
He's never even
been in her life.
655
00:32:10,852 --> 00:32:12,402
No, maybe that's exactly why.
656
00:32:12,403 --> 00:32:13,851
Resentment, abandonment,
657
00:32:13,852 --> 00:32:15,437
maybe she found out who he was
658
00:32:15,438 --> 00:32:17,230
and wanted to make him pay
for leaving her.
659
00:32:17,231 --> 00:32:18,851
Yeah, or maybe
it's the exact opposite.
660
00:32:18,852 --> 00:32:20,609
Maybe she was embarrassed
to learn
661
00:32:20,610 --> 00:32:23,195
that this unhoused man
was her long-lost father?
662
00:32:23,196 --> 00:32:24,954
Felice Balik wielded
the knife,
663
00:32:24,955 --> 00:32:27,954
but we all know she wasn't
the mastermind, she was tricked.
664
00:32:27,955 --> 00:32:30,264
And it's about
to ruin her life.
665
00:32:30,265 --> 00:32:32,437
Okay. It's not a slam dunk,
666
00:32:32,438 --> 00:32:35,127
but it's definitely
worth a conversation.
667
00:32:42,127 --> 00:32:43,576
Ms. Lancaster?
668
00:32:44,990 --> 00:32:47,230
Hi. Can I help you?
669
00:32:47,231 --> 00:32:49,575
I'm Detective Graff,
this is Detective Bateman,
670
00:32:49,576 --> 00:32:51,437
Toronto Police.
671
00:32:51,438 --> 00:32:53,851
We're here about a man
who was killed the other night.
672
00:32:53,852 --> 00:32:56,782
He was living in a tent
just down the hill.
673
00:32:56,783 --> 00:33:00,092
Yes, I heard about that.
674
00:33:00,093 --> 00:33:01,644
Didn't wanna get into it
with Ava,
675
00:33:01,645 --> 00:33:03,782
'cause I didn't want her
to be afraid of the park.
676
00:33:03,783 --> 00:33:05,402
Um...
677
00:33:05,403 --> 00:33:07,023
How can we help, exactly?
678
00:33:07,024 --> 00:33:08,609
The deceased was identified
679
00:33:08,610 --> 00:33:12,609
as your ex-partner,
Mick McCarthy, Ava's father.
680
00:33:12,610 --> 00:33:14,576
We thought you both should know.
681
00:33:21,990 --> 00:33:24,885
So, you're saying
that the man at the park,
682
00:33:24,886 --> 00:33:28,679
the homeless man who died,
that... that was Mick?
683
00:33:30,714 --> 00:33:34,264
I haven't seen that man
in 12 years.
684
00:33:34,265 --> 00:33:35,369
I have.
685
00:33:36,714 --> 00:33:39,057
I don't know him,
if that makes any difference.
686
00:33:39,058 --> 00:33:40,954
I don't remember him.
687
00:33:40,955 --> 00:33:44,230
I know he was awful to my mom,
but I don't really remember.
688
00:33:44,231 --> 00:33:46,230
But you knew
he was your father.
689
00:33:46,231 --> 00:33:50,713
He came up to me at a café
by the park a few months ago.
690
00:33:50,714 --> 00:33:52,885
He introduced himself,
691
00:33:52,886 --> 00:33:56,057
called me Ava Marie,
started crying,
692
00:33:56,058 --> 00:33:58,747
and told me he was my father.
693
00:33:58,748 --> 00:34:02,093
I said, "I'm sorry,
I don't have a dad."
694
00:34:03,265 --> 00:34:05,506
But he knew my middle name.
695
00:34:05,507 --> 00:34:07,575
He knew my birthday
down to the minute.
696
00:34:07,576 --> 00:34:09,264
He knew about Bunny,
697
00:34:09,265 --> 00:34:12,195
said he gave her to me
when I was two.
698
00:34:12,196 --> 00:34:13,678
He said I have his eyes.
699
00:34:13,679 --> 00:34:15,437
Okay. Ava you need
to stop talking.
700
00:34:15,438 --> 00:34:18,747
That must have been incredibly
strange for you, Ava.
701
00:34:18,748 --> 00:34:21,161
It was and it wasn't.
702
00:34:21,162 --> 00:34:23,023
When you don't know your dad,
you're kind of always
703
00:34:23,024 --> 00:34:24,507
waiting for him to appear.
704
00:34:25,817 --> 00:34:29,057
I mean, I never pictured that,
705
00:34:29,058 --> 00:34:30,678
but I don't know.
706
00:34:30,679 --> 00:34:32,368
I guess I always knew
he'd come back.
707
00:34:32,369 --> 00:34:34,333
And you were embarrassed?
708
00:34:34,334 --> 00:34:36,851
No. Not embarrassed.
709
00:34:36,852 --> 00:34:38,989
Maybe mad?
710
00:34:38,990 --> 00:34:42,851
He was a terrible father,
he beat my mother up,
711
00:34:42,852 --> 00:34:45,299
shoved her head into a toilet.
712
00:34:45,300 --> 00:34:47,989
Left me alone in my crib
for four days,
713
00:34:47,990 --> 00:34:49,989
forgot to feed me
and went on a bender.
714
00:34:49,990 --> 00:34:51,299
Four days?
715
00:34:51,300 --> 00:34:53,299
But looking at him then?
716
00:34:53,300 --> 00:34:56,954
I was actually happy.
Just to know who he was.
717
00:34:56,955 --> 00:34:59,092
Ava, where were you
on Sunday night?
718
00:34:59,093 --> 00:35:02,057
Watching a movie on my own.
My mom was working, so--
719
00:35:02,058 --> 00:35:03,713
Okay, that's enough.
720
00:35:03,714 --> 00:35:06,126
Um, I have to work tonight,
and I think we're done here.
721
00:35:06,127 --> 00:35:07,300
So...
722
00:35:13,886 --> 00:35:15,782
Ava, we actually
have one more question--
723
00:35:15,783 --> 00:35:17,989
I said we're done!
724
00:35:17,990 --> 00:35:21,369
No more questions.
Not without a lawyer.
725
00:35:23,541 --> 00:35:26,057
Ah, well, she's protecting
her daughter. You'd do the same.
726
00:35:26,058 --> 00:35:28,644
Well, maybe she's
protecting herself.
727
00:35:28,645 --> 00:35:31,644
Theo, this mother,
Jade Lancaster.
728
00:35:31,645 --> 00:35:34,437
Look at her. I mean, she looks
almost as young as her daughter.
729
00:35:34,438 --> 00:35:36,747
Hashtag twinsies.
Now, she's good online,
730
00:35:36,748 --> 00:35:38,437
she knows how kids work.
731
00:35:38,438 --> 00:35:40,713
Easiest thing in the world
is for her to pose
732
00:35:40,714 --> 00:35:43,713
as a teenager,
because basically,
733
00:35:43,714 --> 00:35:46,644
she is a teenager,
and she's a stunt coordinator.
734
00:35:46,645 --> 00:35:50,575
She knows how to imitate
the way that people move.
735
00:35:50,576 --> 00:35:54,023
Jade's current alibi
is iffy at best.
736
00:35:54,024 --> 00:35:55,851
She said she was working
a night shift Sunday night,
737
00:35:55,852 --> 00:35:57,678
but the producer said
that she felt sick.
738
00:35:57,679 --> 00:35:59,540
She left for a few hours,
he didn't see her
739
00:35:59,541 --> 00:36:01,126
back on set until after 1 a.m.
740
00:36:01,127 --> 00:36:04,264
Okay, but the daughter
doesn't even have an alibi.
741
00:36:04,265 --> 00:36:05,954
So why are we discounting her?
742
00:36:05,955 --> 00:36:07,782
She said he was happy
to finally meet her dad,
743
00:36:07,783 --> 00:36:09,093
and it seemed real.
744
00:36:10,990 --> 00:36:12,575
Okay, so if it's the mom,
what's the motive?
745
00:36:12,576 --> 00:36:14,816
Well, apparently,
Mick was abusive.
746
00:36:14,817 --> 00:36:16,506
Now the stories
sound exaggerated,
747
00:36:16,507 --> 00:36:18,989
but even if they're half-true,
revenge would fit the bill.
748
00:36:18,990 --> 00:36:21,299
Any past complaints,
any charges against him?
749
00:36:21,300 --> 00:36:24,023
Nothing. I'm still waiting
on Jade's medical records.
750
00:36:24,024 --> 00:36:26,299
She never pressed
charges against Mick McCarthy,
751
00:36:26,300 --> 00:36:27,851
but that doesn't mean
it didn't happen.
752
00:36:27,852 --> 00:36:30,092
We're looking into
Mick's medical records as well.
753
00:36:30,093 --> 00:36:32,368
You know, trying to see if
anything lines up timewise,
754
00:36:32,369 --> 00:36:34,816
broken hand or lacerations
from punching someone,
755
00:36:34,817 --> 00:36:36,506
that kind of thing.
- Mm-hmm, okay well,
756
00:36:36,507 --> 00:36:38,678
if it's the mom,
it's gonna be tricky.
757
00:36:38,679 --> 00:36:41,368
Lavallee defense.
Battered woman syndrome,
758
00:36:41,369 --> 00:36:44,471
maybe Jade thought Mick
was coming for her.
759
00:36:44,472 --> 00:36:46,299
He moves into the park
near her house,
760
00:36:46,300 --> 00:36:48,092
announces himself
to her daughter?
761
00:36:48,093 --> 00:36:49,678
Jade must have been terrified.
762
00:36:49,679 --> 00:36:52,920
Sure. But even if Jade was
operating out of self-defense,
763
00:36:52,921 --> 00:36:56,230
or revenge, or fear,
it was premeditated.
764
00:36:56,231 --> 00:36:57,575
It was planned.
765
00:36:57,576 --> 00:36:59,713
And it ruined the lives
of the two teenage girls
766
00:36:59,714 --> 00:37:01,747
she coerced into helping her.
767
00:37:01,748 --> 00:37:04,713
Well, we've got enough
for a warrant.
768
00:37:04,714 --> 00:37:06,852
- Okay.
- What do you want to do?
769
00:37:08,231 --> 00:37:09,817
I think we take a run at her.
770
00:37:10,852 --> 00:37:14,093
What do they call this again?
- They call it the circus.
771
00:37:15,472 --> 00:37:19,195
- Ava.
- What are you guys doing here?
772
00:37:19,196 --> 00:37:21,954
I'm not supposed to talk to you,
my mom said.
773
00:37:21,955 --> 00:37:24,609
Yeah, it's okay.
We're actually here to see her.
774
00:37:24,610 --> 00:37:26,575
She's inside. She's working.
775
00:37:26,576 --> 00:37:28,230
Can you do us a favour
and text her,
776
00:37:28,231 --> 00:37:29,645
get her to come out?
777
00:37:31,714 --> 00:37:34,747
Hey, dumb question,
while we're waiting.
778
00:37:34,748 --> 00:37:37,402
You have the shoes
my daughter dreams about.
779
00:37:37,403 --> 00:37:39,437
Can I ask where you got 'em?
- What shoes?
780
00:37:39,438 --> 00:37:42,506
The Veloce Bluebirds,
limited edition.
781
00:37:42,507 --> 00:37:43,989
I saw 'em on your social.
782
00:37:43,990 --> 00:37:46,609
Oh, yeah.
Um, those aren't mine,
783
00:37:46,610 --> 00:37:48,402
those are my mom's.
She got them
784
00:37:48,403 --> 00:37:50,161
at a set sale or something.
785
00:37:50,162 --> 00:37:51,506
She only lets me
wear them for photos
786
00:37:51,507 --> 00:37:53,161
'cause they're crazy expensive.
787
00:37:53,162 --> 00:37:55,989
Hey, what's going on?
This is my workplace.
788
00:37:55,990 --> 00:37:57,954
Oh, we can take it downtown
if you like,
789
00:37:57,955 --> 00:37:59,747
you can call in your lawyer.
We just wanted
790
00:37:59,748 --> 00:38:02,333
to avoid all that,
it's a bit of a rigmarole.
791
00:38:02,334 --> 00:38:04,507
We just have
a few more questions.
792
00:38:05,679 --> 00:38:07,472
Ava, stay here baby, okay?
793
00:38:14,162 --> 00:38:17,161
What do you guys want?
- Jade, just like you,
794
00:38:17,162 --> 00:38:19,092
we want this to go away.
795
00:38:19,093 --> 00:38:21,954
And you know what?
It probably will.
796
00:38:21,955 --> 00:38:24,437
Video footage tells us
that Mick was stabbed
797
00:38:24,438 --> 00:38:26,644
by three teenage girls.
Two of those girls
798
00:38:26,645 --> 00:38:28,471
are already in custody,
one of them
799
00:38:28,472 --> 00:38:29,506
has already confessed
to the murder.
800
00:38:29,507 --> 00:38:31,471
Well, yes and no.
801
00:38:31,472 --> 00:38:33,540
Felice Balik
wielded the knife,
802
00:38:33,541 --> 00:38:36,437
but she didn't know it was real.
803
00:38:36,438 --> 00:38:38,678
- That doesn't make any sense.
- Agreed.
804
00:38:38,679 --> 00:38:43,230
It's, um, what's the expression?
A fabricated truth.
805
00:38:43,231 --> 00:38:46,609
Like so many things these days,
you know,
806
00:38:46,610 --> 00:38:51,471
pizzagate, birther theories,
social media. Special effects.
807
00:38:51,472 --> 00:38:54,713
Stunts. Props. In short,
808
00:38:54,714 --> 00:38:57,161
someone coerced
two vulnerable teenage girls
809
00:38:57,162 --> 00:38:59,126
into committing murder,
and for what?
810
00:38:59,127 --> 00:39:01,954
To prove themselves? To bond?
811
00:39:01,955 --> 00:39:04,609
See, that's fabricated truth
writ large.
812
00:39:08,507 --> 00:39:09,990
Look.
813
00:39:11,472 --> 00:39:15,713
Mick McCarthy forced himself
back into your life.
814
00:39:15,714 --> 00:39:19,092
He approached Ava
at a coffee shop.
815
00:39:19,093 --> 00:39:21,333
Ambushed her out of nowhere,
full of lies,
816
00:39:21,334 --> 00:39:23,023
wanting time with her.
817
00:39:23,024 --> 00:39:25,851
Wanting money, no doubt.
818
00:39:25,852 --> 00:39:27,402
What kind of father does that?
819
00:39:29,921 --> 00:39:33,644
I mean, Mick McCarthy
was a monster.
820
00:39:33,645 --> 00:39:35,920
My God, you had it hard.
821
00:39:35,921 --> 00:39:40,402
June 2009, patient was hit
in the head with a baseball bat.
822
00:39:40,403 --> 00:39:42,782
Treated for severe concussion.
823
00:39:42,783 --> 00:39:45,540
October 2010, patient admitted
to Sinai
824
00:39:45,541 --> 00:39:48,471
with defensive wounds.
825
00:39:48,472 --> 00:39:50,713
January 2011,
826
00:39:50,714 --> 00:39:52,713
patient treated
for a broken shoulder
827
00:39:52,714 --> 00:39:56,127
after suspected
domestic dispute.
828
00:39:56,679 --> 00:39:58,161
The thing is, Jade.
829
00:39:58,162 --> 00:40:01,678
You weren't the patient
in any of these medical reports.
830
00:40:01,679 --> 00:40:04,333
These are Mick's records.
831
00:40:04,334 --> 00:40:05,989
You were the perpetrator.
832
00:40:05,990 --> 00:40:08,368
Mick was abusive.
833
00:40:08,369 --> 00:40:10,230
To me and my daughter.
834
00:40:10,231 --> 00:40:13,195
I don't care what you say,
that's the truth.
835
00:40:13,196 --> 00:40:15,644
Well, maybe it is,
maybe it isn't,
836
00:40:15,645 --> 00:40:17,230
maybe that's your truth.
837
00:40:17,231 --> 00:40:20,057
The story that you've been
polishing for the last 12 years
838
00:40:20,058 --> 00:40:22,782
doesn't change the fact
of what you did.
839
00:40:22,783 --> 00:40:25,920
Thing that I'm pondering
is the why now?
840
00:40:25,921 --> 00:40:28,023
I mean, Mick wasn't a threat,
841
00:40:28,024 --> 00:40:30,230
except maybe
to your relationship
842
00:40:30,231 --> 00:40:32,230
with your best friend
and daughter.
843
00:40:32,231 --> 00:40:35,609
Your online image,
your perfect persona,
844
00:40:35,610 --> 00:40:38,678
your abuse survivor narrative,
hashtag "singlemom."
845
00:40:38,679 --> 00:40:41,264
You know actually,
now I'm saying it,
846
00:40:41,265 --> 00:40:43,678
maybe Mick was a threat.
847
00:40:43,679 --> 00:40:46,816
You and Ava, you're a team.
848
00:40:46,817 --> 00:40:49,402
In life and on social.
849
00:40:49,403 --> 00:40:52,713
You didn't need some bum
coming around looking for money,
850
00:40:52,714 --> 00:40:54,264
looking to spend time
with your child.
851
00:40:54,265 --> 00:40:56,747
Some homeless guy,
disrupting everything
852
00:40:56,748 --> 00:40:58,230
you've fought for,
with his no doubt
853
00:40:58,231 --> 00:41:00,885
very different version
of the truth.
854
00:41:00,886 --> 00:41:03,264
Mick is a drunk.
855
00:41:03,265 --> 00:41:05,575
He left when Ava was three.
856
00:41:05,576 --> 00:41:07,782
Disappeared for 12 years.
857
00:41:07,783 --> 00:41:09,747
And then, all of a sudden,
he just shows up.
858
00:41:09,748 --> 00:41:13,092
Smelling like garbage, wanting
to spend time with my child.
859
00:41:13,093 --> 00:41:15,644
Mick McCarthy was clean,
he was sober for four years,
860
00:41:15,645 --> 00:41:18,299
and by all accounts,
he was kind.
861
00:41:18,300 --> 00:41:19,989
Maybe he just wanted
to get to know her.
862
00:41:19,990 --> 00:41:22,126
It's too late!
863
00:41:22,127 --> 00:41:24,609
I killed myself for this life.
864
00:41:24,610 --> 00:41:27,575
Me and Ava,
that's my everything.
865
00:41:27,576 --> 00:41:29,471
She doesn't need a dad,
and I sure as hell
866
00:41:29,472 --> 00:41:33,575
am not sharing my life
or my kid with that man.
867
00:41:33,576 --> 00:41:37,057
Go home, detectives.
You have nothing.
868
00:41:37,058 --> 00:41:39,126
Okay, but was it your plan
to have all the evidence
869
00:41:39,127 --> 00:41:40,748
point to Ava?
870
00:41:42,231 --> 00:41:45,644
Because if so, we have
more than enough to arrest her.
871
00:41:45,645 --> 00:41:48,678
Including those very
specific shoes
872
00:41:48,679 --> 00:41:50,092
she was wearing
on the video evidence.
873
00:41:50,093 --> 00:41:52,920
- Yeah.
- I mean, she just told me
874
00:41:52,921 --> 00:41:55,954
that they were yours,
but we can't prove that,
875
00:41:55,955 --> 00:41:57,989
right, Graff?
- Agreed.
876
00:41:57,990 --> 00:42:00,333
Now, should I call her over?
Look, I'll just go get her.
877
00:42:00,334 --> 00:42:03,161
No, she didn't do this.
You know she didn't do this.
878
00:42:03,162 --> 00:42:07,471
What I do know, Jade,
is that when Ava realizes
879
00:42:07,472 --> 00:42:11,333
who she's protecting,
she's probably gonna confess.
880
00:42:11,334 --> 00:42:13,714
Best friends forever, right?
881
00:42:15,196 --> 00:42:16,679
Mom?
882
00:42:17,748 --> 00:42:20,610
Hey baby, it's okay.
Everything is okay.
883
00:42:34,576 --> 00:42:37,989
I want you to text Kira.
884
00:42:37,990 --> 00:42:39,885
You'll stay at her place
tonight, okay?
885
00:42:39,886 --> 00:42:41,989
You'll have a sleepover
with your cousins.
886
00:42:41,990 --> 00:42:43,403
Where are you going?
887
00:42:44,714 --> 00:42:46,300
I'm just gonna...
888
00:42:47,645 --> 00:42:50,679
talk to these guys
a little bit more downtown.
889
00:42:51,783 --> 00:42:53,230
I'm gonna
come with you guys, okay?
890
00:42:53,231 --> 00:42:55,885
I just need a moment
with my daughter.
891
00:42:55,886 --> 00:42:59,540
I don't understand.
What's going on?
892
00:42:59,541 --> 00:43:03,610
I did what I taught you
to do, okay? I fought back.
893
00:43:06,576 --> 00:43:08,403
I protected us.
894
00:43:10,093 --> 00:43:12,921
It's gonna be okay,
we got this.
895
00:43:17,610 --> 00:43:20,747
Imagine,
having her as a mother.
896
00:43:20,748 --> 00:43:23,265
Imagine not having her.
897
00:43:23,955 --> 00:43:25,955
I feel for the kid.
898
00:43:31,093 --> 00:43:34,714
difuze
