Original subtitles

In Toronto's war on crime, the worst offenders are pursued by the

detectives of the Specialized Criminal Investigations Unit.

These are their stories.

Yeah, man, I got it.

Hey, Sean, you got any spares?

Yeah, second drawer on the right.

Ooh, tidy.

What are you, a Boy Scout?

No, I just like everything in its place.

Whoa.

Malik, how many times do I have to tell you that crap isn't funny, man?

I know, I know.

Come on, come on, boss.

Life drags on pretty hard.

It's a bit easier with a little laugh.

That is the last time that you are gonna pull that crap.

Clint, easy.

He's just joking.

Listen, you mess around out here, kid, somebody's gonna break their neck.

Drop it.

Ooh, careful, careful.

Dad, I can't cut anything if you make me use a butter knife.

You could cut butter.

Mm, yum, a butter salad.

Oh, can I let Louie out?

Yeah.

Can we change Louie's name?

No, sweetie, we can't.

Why?

Well, Mom named him.

But I don't like his name.

Well, I think we should keep it the way it is.

It's what Mom would've wanted, yeah?

Why doesn't Louie live outside?

He really likes it out there.

Well, because i- it gets cold at night, and it's

not super safe for dogs with coyotes about.

That was a terrible coyote.

Oh, yeah?

Let's hear yours.

Malik, want anything from the coffee truck?

Yeah, I'll take a double double.

Got it.

Clint!

No, I'm good.

Thanks.

Need help?

Yeah, stick to your own side.

What the heck?

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

What was that?

Man.

Hey, it's okay, man.

Just stay calm.

Don't panic.

It's only gonna make things worse.

Somebody call 911!

It's that capital building construction site.

Whatever worked there had to fall.

Louie!

Louie!

Come on.

Louie.

Louie?

Dinner time.

Come on, boy.

Louie!

Want me to watch your truck?

Now, why would I need that?

Brand-new wheels, place like this, who knows what will happen?

All right, little man.

I respect the hustle.

Hey, Malik.

What up, man?

It's been a minute.

Yeah, well, I've been busy.

Hm.

You good?

Yeah, you should've seen me a month ago.

I busted three ribs.

So listen- Uh-uh.

First things first.

You really gotta be like that?

No wire, no problem.

You been working out?

Come in, man.

Sit down.

What's up?

I need a favor, man.

Talk to me.

These trucks are coming in from Sarnia, Halton Hills, Caledon.

Seth.

Loading bay is down there for these to- I found another one.

No address, no postage.

That's the 19th package today.

Okay, you know the drill.

Photograph it.

No, I think you need to see this one.

Thanks for coming down so quick.

Detective Fabiano, 44 division.

Detective Bateman, this is my partner, Detective Darcy.

We've set aside a package for you.

No address, no postage.

Inside.

Mail laws are pretty strict.

Why is it open?

Protocol is to alert authorities if a suspicious package is leaking.

Well, plastic wrap likely tore in transit.

Blood soaked through the cardboard.

Only a matter of time.

We heard you found more than just this.

Yeah, we found a lot more.

Twenty-six segments, each in its own parcel.

Same skin tone.

Could all belong to one victim.

These nine over here, just a torso cut up into small pieces.

We found pieces of legs and arms in sorting station six and four.

No address or postage.

All just under the size of a mailbox opening.

Whoever sent these could avoid going to post offices with surveillance.

Are we able to track which mailboxes they came from?

Manager here says all mailbox pickups are combined before being sent to sorting.

They can't trace it backwards.

All we know is these were dropped off yesterday.

A killer smart enough to send packages undetected without

postage or an address, they knew they would end up here.

Which goes against the whole point of dismemberment.

Why cut up a body just to have all the pieces found in the same place?

What if it's this, us, here, the news crews circling outside.

Someone's trying to send a message.

So who is the messenger?

DNA test confirmed all 27 pieces belong to the same male victim.

Dismemberment occurred post-mortem.

The killer removed all the organs and segmented the body by major muscle groups.

Like a hunter.

Hope you didn't have a big lunch, new guy.

This one's a bit macabre even for me.

Sort of like Frankenstein's creature.

Without the head.

Victim's around 30 years old.

Cause of death is actually six bullets to the chest, nine millimeter.

Killed approximately two to three days ago.

We also found fractures in the right ribs and wrist, injuries sustained a month ago.

Tell me about these scars.

They're actually burns, severe ones.

They had to be third degree.

A couple years old.

We also found traces of ink beneath the skin.

That's a gnarly way to get rid of a tattoo.

May not have had a choice.

Gang tattoos.

Leave the club under bad circumstances, lose the branding.

So you're thinking this is gang?

Dismemberment reads more cartel, but it's hard to say.

How was this done?

Reciprocating saw.

In terms of ID, no head, no teeth for dental.

But we do have a hand for fingerprints.

Well, if he was into gang, chances are his prints are in the system.

Victim is Malik Chambers, 27 years old.

Fingerprints wound up in our system back in 2016, when he was charged

with a string of B&Es and one count of aggravated assault.

Check of Gang Net.

No known associates.

So he's a solo act, no gang.

Perhaps.

Or he was loyal.

Just because he didn't snitch doesn't mean he wasn't a member.

What about this injury, the cracked ribs?

This predates the murder?

Malik was admitted to St.

Mike's a month ago.

He fell two stories off a platform.

Told doctors he messed up at work, forgot to tie off properly.

He was a laborer at Capstone Buildings, worked there for the past five years.

Syncs up with the burned-off gang tattoo.

Let's say Malik runs with a crew for a while, and then

he decides to get out, earn an honest living.

Leadership doesn't like that, so they take a hot iron to his gang tattoo.

I'm just saying we shouldn't take gang off the table.

All right.

Anything else you'd like to add to the table, Detective Bateman?

Actually, yes.

A week ago, Malik registered a brand-new truck.

Officers didn't find it at his home.

Mark, just track the GPS to its last destination, right by Finch and Birchmount.

What's the exact address?

Uh, 168 Norcap Ave.

168 Norcap.

That's right across the street from 165 Norcap.

That's the headquarters of the Glendower Boys.

So last known location, steps away from gang's HQ.

That begs the question.

Did Malik pay his old crew a visit?

So Malik goes to see his ex-gang.

Why?

Maybe they lured him, maybe to silence an ex-member who knew too much.

Maybe he needed something from them.

That's a lot of maybes.

Maybe we should talk to them.

Mm.

You familiar with the Glendower Boys?

I know the team, not the players.

Their leader, Andre Miller, is linked to multiple homicides,

but chopping up bodies into little pieces...

I take it Andre is smart enough to not want to talk to us.

Unless he has to.

Last I heard, Guns and Gangs had a pile of search warrants locked and loaded against

the Glendower Boys, but they were saving them for an opportune time.

What, like now?

If only I knew someone who had sway.

Police.

Police.

Hands up.

Miss the action?

I do.

Thought suits can't do dynamic entries.

Division policy.

It's too bad.

They were fun.

Hmm.

This isn't fun.

Five guns, couple of scales, half a kilo of cocaine.

That's quite the collection.

Come on, man.

I know the drill.

You sniff around, we do a little dance and make a deal.

So why don't you just hurry up and tell me what

you want so I can get back to business.

When was the last time you saw Malik Chambers?

Years.

You sure about that?

It's just that's a strange coincidence because his truck is parked right outside.

Oh, you think I'm dumb enough to kill him and leave his truck outside?

You were dumb enough to leave five guns in your house.

But okay, let's set that aside for a minute, all right?

The thing is, it's kinda hard to set it aside, not because

the triggers are taped or because the serial numbers are filed

off, but because they're Glock 17s, nine millimeter.

Same caliber bullet we found in Malik's torso.

Well, pieces of his torso.

But what do you know?

Small world.

Okay.

Let's reset.

I'll start with a softball.

When was Malik here?

Sunday.

Ooh, that was the last day that Malik was seen alive.

That is not very- Hey.

Come on.

Nobody here would touch Malik, all right?

He's like family.

Okay, then tell us what happened.

Well, Andre, you tell us what happened, all

this stuff goes to the bottom of the pile.

Well, I mean, we're gonna have to confiscate

everything, but still a win for you.

Hmm.

Was he here for money?

Was he here for a job?

Neither.

He wanted a Glock.

Why'd he need a gun?

I don't know.

Maybe he wanted to buy some peace of mind.

Okay.

If we're believing this guy, Malik came here to buy

a gun, a gun that can't be traced back to him.

You buy a gun for either protection or attack.

So which one?

Well, if you're defending yourself, you go home, you bolt the door.

Yeah, but he didn't go home.

According to Andre, he walked out the door and went down

the street, leaving his truck here on purpose.

He knew it could be tracked.

GPS, right?

Okay, so he leaves his truck here.

He goes out on his own with a gun.

Yeah, eliminating the defense narrative.

So he's on the offense.

What, to kill somebody?

Seeing as he ended up in little pieces, that plan didn't go so well.

So if we're to take a gang leader at his word, the night of

the murder, Malik buys a gun and goes to kill someone.

We believe Malik's target became his killer,

overpowered him, shot him with his own gun.

But then why the dismemberment?

Okay.

Say I'm Malik's target.

He comes to kill me.

I overpower and then I kill him.

That's self-defense.

Why not just go to the police?

Well, when we find him, we will be sure to ask.

So who you got?

Malik's been out of the game for a while.

Mm-hmm.

If he's going on the offense, we're thinking that he was provoked.

Someone else threw the first punch.

Or a push off a ledge, two-story drop.

The fall.

No, that's, that was a workplace accident.

But what if it wasn't?

What if he was pushed and he wanted payback?

But then why would he tell the hospital that it was his fall?

Why not press charges?

Well, because maybe he was paid for his silence.

Mark dug into Malik's truck.

It's registered in his name, but it was purchased

by Capstone Building, his employer.

Hush money to keep him quiet about being pushed.

All right.

Find out just how accidental this fall really was.

I saw it on the news, what happened to Malik.

He came to Capstone to leave a life of violence behind.

The fact that it followed him, it's terrible.

You knew he was in a gang?

Yeah, he told me in his interview, but I believe everyone

deserves a second chance, and I was right.

Malik, he was a loyal employee for five years.

And in that time, was Malik involved in any other workplace accidents?

No, I don't think so.

Listen, we have protocols and training, but the odd time, accidents happen.

Rosa?

I was assigned to Malik's fall, and I can assure

you there was no foul play involved.

Shortly after the accident, your company bought Malik a truck.

Is that also part of your protocol, Mr.

Zekner?

No.

Malik was an exception.

After the accident, WSIB investigated the fall.

They ruled the cause as employee negligence on Malik's part.

Meaning Malik was ineligible for workers' insurance.

The man gives half a decade to Capstone, gets injured on my site, and gets zilch?

After I saw what happened to him, I, I had to make him whole.

And you were on site when Malik fell?

No, I traded my steel toe boots in a while ago,

but, uh, we compiled footage of the accident.

This is from our security camera.

And this one from a worker's cell phone.

Just stay calm.

Don't panic.

It's only gonna make things worse.

Somebody call 911.

He definitely wasn't pushed.

Show me the fall again.

But it looks like he was expecting the rope to hold him.

He was.

Uh, in Malik's statement, he admitted that he

couldn't remember if he clipped in or not.

Maybe someone unclipped his harness.

Was this the only other person on the floor when he fell?

Clint Vetro, head iron worker.

Yeah, I wasn't surprised that Malik forgot to tie off.

You know, he's always more concerned with getting a laugh than working safe.

He was a bit of a prankster.

Is that why you requested he be removed from the site several times?

Yeah.

I mean, he wasn't safe.

He didn't understand that if you, you, you make a

mistake up there, you can really hurt yourself.

Like fall two stories and break three ribs.

Well, you did the right thing, requested that he get taken off your team.

But when that didn't work, you- Whoa.

No, no, no.

No.

No, I didn't unclip him Okay.

Like, I didn't see anything.

Okay, well, maybe somebody else saw something.

Sean Carson, he was working with you and Malik up there that day?

Uh, Sean, he, he came down to get a coffee, uh, before any of that happened.

Where can we find him?

Uh, Sean, he's not the most reliable source.

Why is that?

The guy's a booze bag.

A couple of days after the fall, super smelled vodka in his water bottle.

Fired him.

So y- you're saying the only other person up on

the platform with you that day was fired?

That's convenient.

Vodka?

Come on.

I don't even touch the stuff.

The super planted it on me.

Capstone wanted me gone because I knew Clint had it out for Malik.

You thought he was behind the fall?

Yeah.

I started asking questions, and what do you know?

The next day they plant booze on me, because I knew

what Clint did to Malik was willful misconduct.

Willful misconduct, that's a legal term, yeah?

My dad was a lawyer.

This was his home.

Huh.

I try to keep it the way he had it, you know, to honor his memory.

Do you mind if I take off my shoes?

Is there any reason you can think of, any reason

why Clint would've wanted to hurt Malik?

Malik was a prankster.

Clint was old school.

He didn't get the joke.

Well, what kind of pranks are we talking?

Oh, hiding somebody's measuring tape or super gluing a thermos shut.

Huh, that sounds like a hoot.

Or this one time, when this guy went into a porta potty,

uh, Malik parked a forklift up against the door.

The poor guy was trapped inside.

He's, he's banging and banging and

screaming to get out, but Malik just laughs.

And he says, he says, uh, "Don't panic, it's only gonna make things worse."

After two hours, he lets him out.

Would you just say that again, please?

That he let him out after a couple hours.

"Don't panic, it's only gonna make things worse."

That's exactly what you said to Malik when you

found him after the fall, word for word.

Strange.

Where were you Sunday night?

Here, alone.

I'm a bit of a homebody.

Any more questions?

Yes.

Why'd you replace the carpet?

This house is a time capsule.

Nothing's been replaced in decades except this piece of carpet.

Why?

Now, you did a great job, but I feel the seam.

It starts here, so all this is new.

I spilled wine.

Luckily, Dad had an extra roll in the basement.

That's the perils of wall-to-wall carpet.

You stain one spot, you have to cut it out.

But this piece goes long.

Did you drag the wine bottle outside?

What's outside?

My workshop.

The house is all my dad, but this space, this is mine.

I love spending time in here, building things, breaking them down.

It's pretty clean.

You gotta stay organized.

What use is having a tool if you don't know where to find it?

Like a reciprocating saw.

Oh, those are great for cutting through bone.

My dad was an excellent hunter.

He used it all the time to break down deer.

Can you step away from that?

Do I have permission to open this?

Sure.

Like I said, great for breaking down deer.

Is Sean still in interview?

He's running out the clock.

The guy is good.

He's, like, impossibly good.

The report from CFS came back on the reciprocating saw.

It's clean.

And the lab found traces of hydrogen peroxide and peracetic acid on the

blades, the same compounds they use to sterilize their equipment.

Theo, we can prove that Sean sterilized the saw he used to dismember Malik.

Just because you can prove he washed his hands

doesn't mean they were covered in blood.

If we can get a search warrant, we can find evidence that places Malik at the house.

I'm sure you will, but as is, you have no grounds for a search warrant.

You only have that saw because he allowed you to take it.

What about all the things that Sean said, the horror

story of Malik trapping him in the porta potty?

Technically, that was a story about an unnamed third party.

Look, he, he's displacing his experience onto someone else.

You should have seen how he said it.

His fists were clenched.

He, he lived through that trauma, that rage.

He basically told us he hated Malik.

He indicated and suggested he hated Malik.

But he never admitted to anything.

He's a pro at suggesting what he means without actually incriminating himself.

I'll tell you what he means: "I killed Malik Chambers.

Come and get me."

You can leave.

Oh, I almost forgot.

Can I get my saw back?

I'd lose my head if it wasn't attached to my body.

So we let a killer walk out those doors, and

we're sure it's him, but we have no proof.

What do we have on Sean Carson?

A timeline and motive.

Sean intentionally causes Malik to fall.

Because Malik pranked him.

That's a bit of an outsized reaction.

Malik buys a gun to go and kill Sean.

Yet another outsized reaction.

Sean overpowers and kills Malik.

And in the most outsized reaction of them all, he cuts

him up into little pieces and puts him in the mail.

It's a silly setting, but what's our way in?

His psychology.

Yeah.

Uh, so we started at the beginning.

Turns out Sean has a file at CAS.

I'll take the abridged version.

Right.

Uh, mom died when he was six.

He's left with a brutally abusive father.

A few years later, taken by CAS, bounces around foster homes.

He drops out of high school, struggles to hold down a job, fired

multiple times for getting into fights with his coworkers.

It's all a bit trite.

Who wasn't hugged long enough as a kid?

What's your way in?

We don't actually, uh, we don't exactly know yet.

If we can unlock why he is who he is, we might stand a chance

at pushing the right buttons to get a confession out of him.

Unlock a man's trauma, unlock a man's soul.

What do...

If we're gonna start armchair analyzing a killer, we

should probably go to a professional for help.

Frankie's told me about the case, but what's your take on this Sean fellow?

Developmental trauma seemed like the natural place to start.

To borrow your words, "Unlock a man's trauma, unlock his soul."

Actually, it's, "Unearth the trauma, unlock the

man," but I'll forgive your, uh, misquote.

Well, to err is human.

We focused on childhood.

Sean's mom died when he was six.

His father was abusive.

The loss of his mother so early, coupled with his father's abuse, could have stunted

Sean's moral development, freezing him at the pre-conventional stage.

Hmm.

Sounds like someone's been reading his Kohlberg.

And some Bandura.

What if Sean's father imprinted a skewed sense of morality

and justice on his son in his formative years?

Now, if we can just get through to that hurt child- Normally, I'd

love nothing better than to plumb the depths of a man's psyche.

But from everything Frankie's told me, that hurt boy is long gone.

Then what's left?

You've got a man who exhibits both sociopathic and psychopathic behavior.

Traumatic childhood, that's a point for sociopath.

But callous dismemberment of a body, that points to psychopath.

So what's your analysis?

You're dealing with a black hole.

Sometimes there really is no there there, just anger, fury.

Some people just like to watch things squirm.

Um, now if you'll excuse me, I ha- I have a paying patient.

Um, Frankie, Sunday night, we're making schnitzel, Rowan's favorite.

You're really gonna use my daughter as incentive?

Whatever it takes to get you over for dinner.

Well, she will be there, and, uh, I'll try my best.

Okay.

Thanks, Doc.

Sure, honey.

Okay.

Hmm.

Mark just got the results from the occurrence check on Sean.

He's the subject of a harassment report.

Oh, filed by Malik.

No, by Nate Zechner.

From Capstone Buildings.

What's their boss have to do with this?

Your murder victim told Nate Zechner that this Sean

Carson unclipped him, but Nate had no proof.

He couldn't fire him without cause, so he found a new reason to fire Sean.

Drinking on the job.

It was a ploy, Detective Strauss?

Nate had a super put some vodka in a water bottle.

He felt awful about it, but he needed to get a dangerous man off his site.

But then the harassment started.

Nate came down to see me to file a complaint.

But Sean was never arrested.

Oh, let me guess, he never legally crossed the line.

He, uh, texted Nate videos of him

shooting a hunting rifle.

Ah, intimidation.

Technically, he's just sharing target practice.

Yeah, but then things escalated.

Nate found his dog's mangled body in the backyard.

Jesus.

But who's to say it wasn't a coyote?

He bent the law to his will to torment Nate in plain sight.

That's not even the worst part.

Last I heard from Nate was just over two weeks ago.

He got this in the mail.

No return address, no card, no prints.

His daughter?

Alice.

I'll be back in a minute.

We're worried about your safety, about your family's safety.

We're doing everything we can to put Sean behind bars, but until then, we want

to assign a security detail on you and- None of that will be necessary.

What are you talking about?

This was a big misunderstanding.

Sean isn't a threat to me or anyone else.

Did we not make ourselves clear?

We believe that Sean murdered Malik.

He holds a grudge, and given that you planted

alcohol to get him fired- Who told you that?

Yeah, that w- that was a huge mistake, and I, I should

have never tried to fire Sean like that.

He, he didn't deserve it.

Deserve it?

You knew that he sent Malik off a two-story ledge.

No, I told them.

I, there's no proof.

You filed a harassment complaint, Nate.

I was paranoid.

And in a moment of weakness, I, I blew everything out of proportion.

Sean was just joking.

What about your dog?

A tragedy, but we live on a ravine.

There are animals.

We know Sean has intimidated you and that it's hard to

turn against him, but we can help you if you let us.

No help needed.

Jesus, that's annoying.

It doesn't bother me.

Okay, look, we can continue the interview in here.

Step out of the wall.

Carefully.

What are you doing here?

My job.

Your job?

Yeah, I work here now.

Chief project consultant.

You see, Nate finally recognized my business acumen, so he gave me the

respect I deserve and, uh, a job and a paycheck that reflects that.

Isn't that right?

It's true.

He's giving you business advice?

I have a lot of great ideas.

Okay, let's dispense with the charade.

What are you doing here really?

I'm here to work.

You see, I prefer the corner office over the job site.

It's so dangerous out there.

Sean, I, I think that's enough for now.

We can finish this in my office.

Why?

Is there something you'd like to say, Nate?

There isn't anything you can't say in front of me, is there?

You see, Nate and I, we don't keep secrets from each other.

Most people like to sweep their secrets under the rug or bury them in the backyard.

But not Nate and me.

Yeah, cadaver dogs searched the front and backyards.

Nothing.

But they picked up a scent just beyond the property line in the ravine.

Stay here.

Grass was chewed up.

Soil recently disturbed.

Da Silva confirmed the severed head is Malik's.

I take it you brought both Nate and Sean in for questioning?

We did, but they both claimed to know nothing, so we had to release them.

We're focused on Sean, the psycho sociopathic unicorn,

but that head was buried in Nate's backyard.

Did Nate kill Malik?

Yeah, we considered that.

But it didn't take long to see that Nate attended a

conference in Montreal on the day of the murder.

Lots of photos, three hundred attendees.

Nate's not the killer.

Sean plants the head, points us to it, but Nate doesn't say a word.

Why?

I don't think Nate knew about the head.

When forensics dug it up, it looked like he was gonna puke.

Does Nate think that Sean might come after him?

Sean doesn't want to kill Nate.

He's having too much fun torturing him.

It's like a kid picking legs off of a bug.

Yeah, but to be safe, we assigned a security detail to keep eyes

on Sean, make sure he doesn't harm Nate or his daughter.

Uh, what about the spouse?

Uh, no, no.

The wife died of cancer last year.

Well, the detail helps, but it is a short-term solution.

I keep them on for, what, a week, a month before I have to remove them.

What then?

Uh, we may actually not need to wait that long for an answer.

This is from the detail.

Guess where Sean is right now?

Afternoon, officer.

If you don't leave here in five seconds, I'm arresting you for watching Bessette.

Easy.

Easy.

It's only a phone.

Five, four, three- You should know I'm welcome here...

two, one.

Out of the car, now.

Officer, th- this isn't necessary, is it?

I told you, I'm welcome here.

Sean shot Malik six times.

Even if he cleaned the walls, luminol would reveal blood spatter, or we'll

find trace fibers on the floor from when he dragged him outside.

A forensic sweep of Sean's house will find Malik's DNA.

All true.

But you know that for a warrant, you need to place

Malik at Sean's home at the time of the murder.

Theo, the man is outside Nate's house right now, and we can't do anything.

Help us out here.

Listen, best you can do is ask Sean to come in for questioning again.

Look, there is no point.

He's stonewalling us.

Nate must know something.

Nate's not gonna talk either.

In fact, he's paying our killer a handsome salary.

Why pay off the man who killed your employee who's tormenting you?

Can we use that?

Argue that Nate is paying a killer to spare his life.

Uh, arrest Sean for extortion or- You said accounting went through the books.

Yeah.

Nate's paying Sean through the company, all above board.

Money's not gonna make Sean go away, not for good.

Wait.

What if this isn't the first time Nate tried to buy his safety?

Nice to meet you, Alice.

Nice to meet you too.

Alice, can you go pack your clothes with Jackie?

She's in your room.

Okay.

Nate, if you're planning a trip somewhere, you gotta let us know.

I'm not going anywhere.

I'm just dropping Alice off at my sister's for a while.

She lives in Oakville.

He's still out there.

Do you really think leaving her at your sister's will make him go away?

What do you want me to do?

Keep her here with me with him out there?

Look, I get it.

You'd do anything to protect her.

That's why we're here.

We're here to help you.

We can promise you that Sean will never harm your daughter.

You just need to tell us the truth.

The truth about what?

You fired Sean, he threatened you, you called the cops.

He escalates, he kills your dog.

He escalates again, he sends photos of your daughter in the mail.

It's pretty clear where he's headed next.

So you had a choice to make: kill or be killed.

You turn to Malik, who hates Sean for good reason,

has a history of crime, is out of work.

Malik was my employee.

I never- Four days before Malik went to kill Sean, Capstone

gifted him a brand-new truck, eighty thousand dollars.

I have to hand it to you.

I've seen a lot of ways to hire a hit, but making it tax-deductible.

I told you, I gave him that truck because I felt awful about his injury.

Yeah.

That's exactly what your accountant said.

And as far as we can prove it, that's correct.

We have no evidence that you hired Malik to kill Sean,

and that's why you're gonna give it to us.

I have no idea what you're talking about.

You both need to leave now.

Look, Nate, as it is, we do not have what we need to

arrest Sean for murder, but that could change.

We believe Sean killed Malik inside his home.

If we search his house, we will find the evidence we need to put him away.

Then what's stopping you?

Proof that Malik went to Sean's house with a gun with intent to kill.

It took me a while to see it.

This moment right here with him out there and, and you unable

to ask for help, he has you cornered, doesn't he?

We wanna help you.

All he wants is to torture you.

All he wants is to watch you squirm under his force.

That's why he chopped up your hitman and sent him in the mail.

He wanted Malik to be found.

He wanted it on the news to send you a message that your

plan failed, that he owns you, that he owns Alice.

But you won't let us help you.

Why?

He has something over you.

He has proof that you hired Malik to kill him, doesn't he?

He has Malik's phone.

It was a burner.

You saw it in the office.

There are messages on it.

Messages that incriminate you?

If, and I'm not saying I did it, but if I did

what you're describing, I, I'd go to jail?

Yeah.

You'd be charged with conspiracy to commit murder.

But we'd have enough to arrest Sean right now, right this minute.

We could keep him in holding indefinitely while we search his house.

And you have our word we will do all we can to get you a reduced sentence,

and the Crown will do all it can to put Sean away for life.

What about Alice?

I cannot imagine the pain of leaving your child.

But look at where you are.

You're the only parent she has, and you're sending her away.

You're not gonna be there to say good night.

You're not gonna be there when she wakes up in the

morning, and it will break your heart every day.

And you'll do it because you want to keep her safe.

It's not gonna work, Nate.

It's not gonna stop Sean.

If you tell us the truth, you guarantee that he will never harm her.

It's the only way.

The monster's outside your door.

The only question is how much longer do you let it go on for,

or do you make a sacrifice and she can finally be safe?

Round-the-clock protection for Alice until he's put behind bars.

Of course.

You don't know what it was like.

I tried to go to you, to the police, but no one could help me.

They said when he crossed the line, they'd arrest

him, but by that point, we'd be dead.

I couldn't just wait for it to happen.

I couldn't just do nothing.

I hired Malik to take care of him.

I just wanted Sean to go away.

You need to get rid of him right away, and he never goes near my daughter again.

With pleasure.

You are under arrest for murder.

Did he tell you the truth?

You have the right to retain- What he did?

and instruct counsel without delay.

Getting me fired wasn't it?

You may choose any lawyer you wish.

Do you understand?

Oh, God, he did tell you.

I can't believe you had it in you, Nate.

Nate!

I see you, Nate.

I can see you.

I see you.

I can't believe it.

Nate!

Nate!

I see you.

Be careful when you're fighting monsters.

In case you become one.

What does that say about us?
