1
00:00:05,610 --> 00:00:07,506
In Toronto's
war on crime,

2
00:00:07,507 --> 00:00:10,092
the worst offenders are pursued
by the detectives

3
00:00:10,093 --> 00:00:12,885
of the Specialized Criminal
Investigations Unit.

4
00:00:12,886 --> 00:00:14,540
These are their stories.

5
00:00:16,679 --> 00:00:20,023
On behalf of the crew
at 104,

6
00:00:20,024 --> 00:00:21,989
I just wanna say
how honoured we are

7
00:00:21,990 --> 00:00:23,748
to be here with you today.

8
00:00:24,334 --> 00:00:26,230
When I ran into this building
a year...

9
00:00:26,231 --> 00:00:27,989
When I ran into
this school? No.

10
00:00:27,990 --> 00:00:30,782
We-- When we ran into this
school a year ago.

11
00:00:30,783 --> 00:00:32,816
When we ran into this school
a year ago,

12
00:00:32,817 --> 00:00:34,782
we weren't thinking about...

13
00:00:34,783 --> 00:00:37,334
appreciation or thanks.

14
00:00:38,472 --> 00:00:39,990
We were thinking about
your safety.

15
00:00:40,817 --> 00:00:43,816
Pinewood Elementary and
the family of Penny Campbell

16
00:00:43,817 --> 00:00:47,506
would like to formally thank
the firefighters of station 104.

17
00:00:47,507 --> 00:00:49,782
And who better to do that
than one of our students.

18
00:00:49,783 --> 00:00:51,886
Ben?

19
00:00:53,231 --> 00:00:56,437
When our school was on fire
last year, you came to help us.

20
00:00:56,438 --> 00:00:58,885
We remember all the smoke
and being so scared.

21
00:00:58,886 --> 00:01:01,230
How you came
and got us out safely.

22
00:01:01,231 --> 00:01:03,161
You will always be heroes to us.

23
00:01:03,162 --> 00:01:04,644
Lieutenant Rhys Manning,

24
00:01:04,645 --> 00:01:05,782
would you please come up

25
00:01:05,783 --> 00:01:07,471
and accept this painting
and this plaque.

26
00:01:11,024 --> 00:01:12,989
Thank you to everyone
for coming out today.

27
00:01:12,990 --> 00:01:15,437
On behalf of the rest
of the crew at 104,

28
00:01:15,438 --> 00:01:17,230
I just want to say
how incredibly honoured we are

29
00:01:17,231 --> 00:01:18,162
to be here with you.

30
00:01:18,921 --> 00:01:20,747
When we ran into this
school a year ago...

31
00:01:20,748 --> 00:01:22,575
This one...

32
00:01:22,576 --> 00:01:25,230
five bedrooms, four bathrooms.

33
00:01:25,231 --> 00:01:27,402
Media room,
gym in the basement.

34
00:01:27,403 --> 00:01:29,471
You're going to love it.

35
00:01:29,472 --> 00:01:32,575
Rear windows face west,
so the light hits perfectly.

36
00:01:32,576 --> 00:01:34,713
Right at cocktail hour.
- Hmm.

37
00:01:34,714 --> 00:01:36,334
More like bedtime.

38
00:01:37,886 --> 00:01:40,816
Three kids under ten, I'm not
making a lot of cocktails.

39
00:01:40,817 --> 00:01:42,230
Your wife could make them.

40
00:01:42,231 --> 00:01:44,161
Yeah, she could.
At her house.

41
00:01:44,162 --> 00:01:46,230
Holy God.

42
00:01:46,231 --> 00:01:48,299
I've been in the Annex
for too long.

43
00:01:48,300 --> 00:01:50,472
I wouldn't even know what to do
with a yard this big.

44
00:01:51,748 --> 00:01:54,989
Pool. Patio. Potato patch.

45
00:01:54,990 --> 00:01:57,023
Everyone figures it out
once they have the space.

46
00:01:57,024 --> 00:01:59,471
And I was gonna say
putting green,

47
00:01:59,472 --> 00:02:01,748
but potato patch,
there's an idea.

48
00:02:04,058 --> 00:02:06,437
So, Blair.

49
00:02:06,438 --> 00:02:09,231
Tell me, what are the schools
like around here?

50
00:02:10,576 --> 00:02:11,989
- Hey, Simms!
- Yo.

51
00:02:11,990 --> 00:02:13,816
That saw caught
on the garage door latch.

52
00:02:13,817 --> 00:02:15,609
Check the blade for me?
- Aye-aye, captain.

53
00:02:15,610 --> 00:02:17,437
Acting captain.
I'm not dead yet.

54
00:02:17,438 --> 00:02:18,713
Detached garage fire.

55
00:02:18,714 --> 00:02:20,126
We knocked it down
before it made an extension

56
00:02:20,127 --> 00:02:21,092
to the main house.
No injuries.

57
00:02:21,093 --> 00:02:22,471
That's what I like to hear.

58
00:02:22,472 --> 00:02:23,609
Hey, listen. Those conference
people called again.

59
00:02:23,610 --> 00:02:25,264
Cap, you know
I don't want to do that.

60
00:02:25,265 --> 00:02:26,540
I don't want to hear it,
Hollywood.

61
00:02:26,541 --> 00:02:27,989
You're the one who sent
your five-point

62
00:02:27,990 --> 00:02:29,816
rescue leadership strategy
up the chain.

63
00:02:29,817 --> 00:02:31,644
They want you to go
to Vegas this time.

64
00:02:31,645 --> 00:02:34,402
One hour, talking to a bunch
of keeners. The rest?

65
00:02:34,403 --> 00:02:37,023
You are carousing in Sin City.
- Cap, you know me, though.

66
00:02:37,024 --> 00:02:38,920
I'm just gonna spend
the whole time talking shop

67
00:02:38,921 --> 00:02:40,747
with these guys.
- No one's choice but your own.

68
00:02:40,748 --> 00:02:42,679
You're allowed to have
a little fun once in a while.

69
00:02:43,817 --> 00:02:48,678
Okay, Smokey.
You get your fix.

70
00:02:49,645 --> 00:02:51,507
And I get mine.

71
00:02:58,886 --> 00:03:00,989
You're jittery.
Second cup?

72
00:03:00,990 --> 00:03:02,402
I thought you were
off work today.

73
00:03:02,403 --> 00:03:05,816
Yeah, well, my coverage
booked off sick last minute.

74
00:03:05,817 --> 00:03:08,333
So... Working today.
I'm fine, though.

75
00:03:08,334 --> 00:03:09,713
Still got enough time
to prepare.

76
00:03:09,714 --> 00:03:11,195
Vegas isn't until the weekend.

77
00:03:11,196 --> 00:03:13,057
Right. Vegas.

78
00:03:13,058 --> 00:03:15,402
Come on, don't look
at me like that.

79
00:03:15,403 --> 00:03:17,299
You know I don't
want to go, right?

80
00:03:17,300 --> 00:03:18,644
Yeah.

81
00:03:20,403 --> 00:03:21,955
- Whoa.
- What?

82
00:03:22,852 --> 00:03:24,437
It's your first grey.

83
00:03:24,438 --> 00:03:26,023
Pretty soon you're gonna be
all salt and pepper

84
00:03:26,024 --> 00:03:27,196
like old Smokey there.

85
00:03:29,541 --> 00:03:31,506
Hey, I'm trying
to reach Rhys,

86
00:03:31,507 --> 00:03:33,230
but he's not picking up,
would you grab him for me?

87
00:03:33,231 --> 00:03:34,990
He's not in today.

88
00:03:35,955 --> 00:03:37,299
Oh, he said he was
working today.

89
00:03:37,300 --> 00:03:38,471
<i>Well, he's not
on the schedule.</i>

90
00:03:38,472 --> 00:03:40,885
- Where is he?
<i>- Blair, I have no idea.</i>

91
00:03:40,886 --> 00:03:42,885
I know he's seeing
someone, Easton.

92
00:03:42,886 --> 00:03:45,507
I just want to know who it is,
what's her name?

93
00:03:46,369 --> 00:03:48,023
- What are you talking about?
- Forget it.

94
00:03:57,403 --> 00:03:59,264
What brings you
to town, Chief?

95
00:03:59,265 --> 00:04:02,299
Uh, speaking at a conference.
Fire safety.

96
00:04:02,300 --> 00:04:04,402
Seen plenty of guys
start the day at a seminar

97
00:04:04,403 --> 00:04:05,471
and end it in a chapel.

98
00:04:05,472 --> 00:04:06,713
I'm already married.

99
00:05:15,472 --> 00:05:17,368
Well, we got the call
at 8:08 last night.

100
00:05:17,369 --> 00:05:19,299
Soon as we heard the address,
we moved double time, but, uh...

101
00:05:19,300 --> 00:05:21,023
it was too late by the time
we got in here.

102
00:05:21,024 --> 00:05:22,471
What is it about the address?

103
00:05:23,783 --> 00:05:25,851
House belonged
to one of our senior crew.

104
00:05:25,852 --> 00:05:27,920
He's at a firefighter conference
in Vegas.

105
00:05:27,921 --> 00:05:28,920
Left the night before last.

106
00:05:28,921 --> 00:05:30,645
- Thanks.
- Yeah.

107
00:05:38,231 --> 00:05:40,575
We believe the victim is, uh,
Blair Manning.

108
00:05:40,576 --> 00:05:42,678
34-years-old,
real estate agent,

109
00:05:42,679 --> 00:05:44,644
wife of Lieutenant
Reese Manning.

110
00:05:44,645 --> 00:05:46,747
He's a firefighter
at station 104.

111
00:05:46,748 --> 00:05:49,126
Firefighter's wife
dying in a house fire.

112
00:05:49,127 --> 00:05:50,609
That's a little strange,
isn't it?

113
00:05:50,610 --> 00:05:52,506
Must've heard all the horror
stories from her husband.

114
00:05:52,507 --> 00:05:55,851
It's not like she was racing
down the stairs in a panic.

115
00:05:55,852 --> 00:05:58,230
Exactly. One of two reasons
why I called Viv Holness,

116
00:05:58,231 --> 00:06:01,264
requested her best.
- What's the other reason?

117
00:06:01,265 --> 00:06:04,057
Well, the burner was still on
when our fire crew arrived.

118
00:06:04,058 --> 00:06:06,540
Cooking is the leading cause
of residential fires.

119
00:06:06,541 --> 00:06:08,713
But as you say,
she's a firefighter's wife.

120
00:06:08,714 --> 00:06:10,161
It'd be highly unusual

121
00:06:10,162 --> 00:06:11,541
if she'd leave food
on the stove unattended.

122
00:06:12,162 --> 00:06:14,333
- Where's the cat?
- Well, we didn't find a carcass

123
00:06:14,334 --> 00:06:16,299
if that's what you're asking.
- So, if it wasn't the food,

124
00:06:16,300 --> 00:06:17,713
what do you think it was?

125
00:06:17,714 --> 00:06:19,851
Well, when you've been
on the job as long as I have,

126
00:06:19,852 --> 00:06:21,920
you develop a pretty good nose.
You smell it?

127
00:06:23,196 --> 00:06:25,540
- Is that gasoline?
- Yeah.

128
00:06:25,541 --> 00:06:28,092
I'm gonna take some samples.
The countertops, the floors.

129
00:06:28,093 --> 00:06:29,403
Test for residue.

130
00:06:30,852 --> 00:06:33,092
DNA tests confirm
the victim's ID.

131
00:06:33,093 --> 00:06:35,057
This is Blair Manning.

132
00:06:35,058 --> 00:06:38,747
- Any soot in her airways?
- Good question. And no.

133
00:06:38,748 --> 00:06:42,057
She didn't die in the fire.
She was dead before it started.

134
00:06:42,058 --> 00:06:43,713
What's her actual
cause of death?

135
00:06:43,714 --> 00:06:44,989
All of her injuries
are consistent

136
00:06:44,990 --> 00:06:46,299
with a fall down the stairs.

137
00:06:46,300 --> 00:06:47,990
Except for one.

138
00:06:49,231 --> 00:06:50,023
Hyoid bone.

139
00:06:50,024 --> 00:06:51,920
It was compressed inward.

140
00:06:51,921 --> 00:06:53,852
Blair Manning died
by strangulation.

141
00:06:57,058 --> 00:06:58,402
- Any idea when?
- No.

142
00:06:58,403 --> 00:07:00,990
Too much thermal damage
to narrow it down.

143
00:07:01,817 --> 00:07:04,678
Okay, so, strangle Blair,
throw her down the stairs

144
00:07:04,679 --> 00:07:07,264
to mask any injuries,
then set a massive fire.

145
00:07:07,265 --> 00:07:09,885
It's a distraction,
sleight of hand.

146
00:07:09,886 --> 00:07:12,023
A real magician's trick.
- So who's our magician?

147
00:07:12,024 --> 00:07:13,954
Dead wife,
I'm looking at the husband.

148
00:07:13,955 --> 00:07:16,092
- Hmm.
- If we're talking fire,

149
00:07:16,093 --> 00:07:17,955
I'd be looking for a fireman.

150
00:07:18,576 --> 00:07:20,644
Hi, I'm Detective John Darcy.

151
00:07:20,645 --> 00:07:23,507
- And I'm Detective Bateman.
- Thank you.

152
00:07:24,334 --> 00:07:26,333
Um.

153
00:07:26,334 --> 00:07:28,609
I hopped on the first flight
after I got the call,

154
00:07:28,610 --> 00:07:32,575
and the next thing I know,
I'm being escorted here by cops.

155
00:07:32,576 --> 00:07:33,885
So...
- Mr. Manning,

156
00:07:33,886 --> 00:07:35,575
I'm so sorry
to have to tell you,

157
00:07:35,576 --> 00:07:36,989
your wife was murdered.

158
00:07:40,576 --> 00:07:43,023
Uh... I thought Blair
died in a fire?

159
00:07:43,024 --> 00:07:44,264
It was an accident.

160
00:07:44,265 --> 00:07:45,885
It sure looked that way.

161
00:07:45,886 --> 00:07:49,023
So what makes you think
it was a... murder?

162
00:07:49,024 --> 00:07:51,161
We're still gathering
the facts.

163
00:07:51,162 --> 00:07:52,506
Maybe you could help us out?

164
00:07:52,507 --> 00:07:55,851
Okay, um... yeah.
I wanna help any way I can.

165
00:07:55,852 --> 00:07:57,644
- Great.
- Yeah.

166
00:07:57,645 --> 00:07:59,851
Blair was my best friend.

167
00:07:59,852 --> 00:08:01,541
My biggest cheerleader.

168
00:08:02,990 --> 00:08:05,368
Why don't you start
by telling us how your wife was

169
00:08:05,369 --> 00:08:08,782
before you left.
Was she happy? Was she upset?

170
00:08:08,783 --> 00:08:10,196
Was she alive?

171
00:08:12,679 --> 00:08:13,990
Excuse me?

172
00:08:16,817 --> 00:08:19,437
What, are you asking if I had
something to do with this?

173
00:08:19,438 --> 00:08:22,333
Given the fact that
she was dead before the fire,

174
00:08:22,334 --> 00:08:23,369
it's a possibility.

175
00:08:24,817 --> 00:08:26,369
Oh, my God.

176
00:08:27,334 --> 00:08:29,368
We were texting...

177
00:08:29,369 --> 00:08:31,576
all day that day.

178
00:08:32,541 --> 00:08:34,644
Right up until I spoke
at the conference.

179
00:08:34,645 --> 00:08:37,816
A conference in Vegas.
2,000 miles away.

180
00:08:44,403 --> 00:08:47,057
Mr. Manning,
did your wife have any enemies?

181
00:08:47,058 --> 00:08:48,471
Anyone who might want
to hurt her.

182
00:08:48,472 --> 00:08:51,264
Uh, no. No.

183
00:08:51,265 --> 00:08:53,024
Everyone loved Blair.

184
00:09:01,817 --> 00:09:03,506
I don't believe him.

185
00:09:03,507 --> 00:09:06,541
I hear you, but for now,
let's go with the evidence.

186
00:09:07,541 --> 00:09:09,437
Husband's alibi checks out.

187
00:09:09,438 --> 00:09:13,230
Rhys Manning was leading
a seminar on rescue leadership

188
00:09:13,231 --> 00:09:15,437
in Vegas the same time
his house was burning down.

189
00:09:15,438 --> 00:09:18,264
And he was texting with Blair
right up to the fire.

190
00:09:18,265 --> 00:09:20,851
Have you spoken
to her friends? Family?

191
00:09:20,852 --> 00:09:22,437
Did she have any enemies?

192
00:09:22,438 --> 00:09:23,644
Rhys said she didn't.

193
00:09:25,576 --> 00:09:28,437
And her friends
and family all agree.

194
00:09:28,438 --> 00:09:31,575
No one saw her or spoke to her
in the last 48 hours,

195
00:09:31,576 --> 00:09:32,782
but everyone said
the same thing.

196
00:09:32,783 --> 00:09:34,713
Rhys and Blair
had the perfect marriage.

197
00:09:34,714 --> 00:09:36,609
If I had a nickel.

198
00:09:38,231 --> 00:09:39,368
What's your problem?

199
00:09:39,369 --> 00:09:41,402
"Blair was my biggest
cheerleader."

200
00:09:41,403 --> 00:09:43,402
Is that the first thing
you say when you find out

201
00:09:43,403 --> 00:09:45,230
your spouse has been killed?

202
00:09:45,231 --> 00:09:47,403
It's a statement about him,
it's not about his dead wife.

203
00:09:49,714 --> 00:09:51,264
- Do we have motive.
- Not yet.

204
00:09:51,265 --> 00:09:53,851
And I'm sorry,
but how would he kill her

205
00:09:53,852 --> 00:09:55,195
all the way from Vegas?

206
00:09:55,196 --> 00:09:56,437
We don't have time of death.

207
00:09:56,438 --> 00:09:59,713
Rhys could've strangled her
before he left,

208
00:09:59,714 --> 00:10:03,333
walked out, got on a plane
to Alabi-ville USA.

209
00:10:03,334 --> 00:10:05,368
He could've paid someone
to set the blaze.

210
00:10:05,369 --> 00:10:06,920
The guy's a firefighter,
it can't be that hard

211
00:10:06,921 --> 00:10:08,679
to track down an arsonist
for hire, right?

212
00:10:09,403 --> 00:10:10,851
What about all the texting?

213
00:10:10,852 --> 00:10:12,264
Blair's phone
was a melted brick.

214
00:10:12,265 --> 00:10:14,575
But we did get her tablet
from her office.

215
00:10:14,576 --> 00:10:17,747
It's mostly work stuff,
but like most people,

216
00:10:17,748 --> 00:10:19,195
she got her messages
on here as well.

217
00:10:19,196 --> 00:10:20,920
Day of the fire,
Blair didn't text

218
00:10:20,921 --> 00:10:22,195
anyone besides Rhys.

219
00:10:22,196 --> 00:10:25,057
But a guy named Hendrix Lane
texted her a lot.

220
00:10:25,058 --> 00:10:26,955
Blair sold him a house
three months ago.

221
00:10:29,714 --> 00:10:33,231
Blair seems like the type of
woman who went above and beyond.

222
00:10:34,024 --> 00:10:35,540
Yeah, she was great.

223
00:10:35,541 --> 00:10:37,264
She helped me find my house.

224
00:10:37,265 --> 00:10:39,092
Sent flowers the day
we closed.

225
00:10:39,093 --> 00:10:41,092
Set me up with a decorator.
- Wow.

226
00:10:41,093 --> 00:10:43,783
Would you call her a friend?
- Yep.

227
00:10:44,748 --> 00:10:46,713
That's interesting,
because your text messages

228
00:10:46,714 --> 00:10:48,575
suggest you were something more.

229
00:10:48,576 --> 00:10:51,472
Care to read those out
for us, Hendrix?

230
00:10:53,024 --> 00:10:54,507
No?

231
00:10:55,921 --> 00:10:57,127
All right.

232
00:10:59,507 --> 00:11:02,023
"Blair, what the hell was that.
Answer my call."

233
00:11:02,024 --> 00:11:05,609
"Blair, call me back. We need
to talk this out in person."

234
00:11:05,610 --> 00:11:08,645
"Hey, call me please
or else I'm coming over there."

235
00:11:09,231 --> 00:11:11,299
Oh, Hendrix,
I'm not gonna lie to you,

236
00:11:11,300 --> 00:11:12,851
this does not look good.
In fact,

237
00:11:12,852 --> 00:11:16,402
it looks like Blair
ended your... friendship

238
00:11:16,403 --> 00:11:19,264
the day before the fire
and you weren't taking it well.

239
00:11:19,265 --> 00:11:20,679
So what happened?

240
00:11:21,714 --> 00:11:22,954
You've seen the texts.

241
00:11:22,955 --> 00:11:26,126
Okay, well,
Blair won't write you back,

242
00:11:26,127 --> 00:11:29,161
so maybe you follow up.
You go over there.

243
00:11:29,162 --> 00:11:31,609
You try to make her talk to you
in person, she says no.

244
00:11:31,610 --> 00:11:32,851
You get angry--
- No.

245
00:11:32,852 --> 00:11:34,264
You probably
didn't mean to do it,

246
00:11:34,265 --> 00:11:36,023
but once you did,
you decided to cover it up

247
00:11:36,024 --> 00:11:37,885
with a fire
as some messed-up nod

248
00:11:37,886 --> 00:11:39,471
to the hero husband
she dumped you for.

249
00:11:39,472 --> 00:11:41,609
He's not a hero,
he's a fraud.

250
00:11:41,610 --> 00:11:43,506
And you know what,
I wish I had gone to her house,

251
00:11:43,507 --> 00:11:45,506
because maybe then
she would still be here.

252
00:11:45,507 --> 00:11:46,851
But it was my weekend
with my kids.

253
00:11:46,852 --> 00:11:49,161
After Blair broke it off
on Friday afternoon,

254
00:11:49,162 --> 00:11:50,609
I picked them up from my ex

255
00:11:50,610 --> 00:11:52,713
and I drove straight
to my cottage in Haliburton.

256
00:11:52,714 --> 00:11:55,747
I've got a doorbell camera
and three kids who will tell you

257
00:11:55,748 --> 00:11:58,333
that I didn't leave the dock
until this morning.

258
00:11:58,334 --> 00:11:59,921
What did you mean,
"He's a fraud?"

259
00:12:05,127 --> 00:12:06,678
Blair sent me this
message

260
00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:08,506
the day before she died.

261
00:12:08,507 --> 00:12:09,575
<i>We can't
do this anymore.</i>

262
00:12:09,576 --> 00:12:11,126
<i>Rhys is freaking me out.</i>

263
00:12:11,127 --> 00:12:13,057
<i>I'm just... I'm actually
very scared.</i>

264
00:12:13,058 --> 00:12:15,506
<i>I...I don't want to drag you
into it. At all.</i>

265
00:12:15,507 --> 00:12:17,231
<i>I'm just, I'm sorry,
I'm sorry.</i>

266
00:12:17,714 --> 00:12:19,333
Does that sound like
a good guy to you?

267
00:12:19,334 --> 00:12:21,161
Someone she was terrified of?

268
00:12:21,162 --> 00:12:22,678
He was completely
self-absorbed.

269
00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:25,023
Super controlling,
the way that she looked,

270
00:12:25,024 --> 00:12:26,885
what she ate, what she wore.

271
00:12:26,886 --> 00:12:29,195
I'm sure he promised
that he would change

272
00:12:29,196 --> 00:12:30,230
after he found out.

273
00:12:30,231 --> 00:12:31,678
Wait, he knew about
the affair?

274
00:12:31,679 --> 00:12:33,885
Yeah, Blair said
he found out last week.

275
00:12:33,886 --> 00:12:36,402
I... I told her
that she could leave him

276
00:12:36,403 --> 00:12:38,402
and come and live with me,
but she couldn't.

277
00:12:38,403 --> 00:12:40,540
She was afraid
that he was gonna kill her.

278
00:12:40,541 --> 00:12:42,816
I... I just thought
that she was being hyperbolic.

279
00:12:42,817 --> 00:12:44,437
Hmm...

280
00:12:44,438 --> 00:12:47,368
If there's anyone that
you should be investigating

281
00:12:47,369 --> 00:12:49,610
for Blair's murder,
it's her husband.

282
00:12:51,990 --> 00:12:53,920
So much
for the perfect marriage.

283
00:12:53,921 --> 00:12:55,161
Controlling husband

284
00:12:55,162 --> 00:12:56,920
who thinks he's God's gift
to public safety.

285
00:12:56,921 --> 00:12:58,954
Imagine what that affair
did to his ego.

286
00:12:58,955 --> 00:13:01,989
Tell me that guy strangled
his wife in a jealous rage.

287
00:13:01,990 --> 00:13:04,402
That's something I'll believe.

288
00:13:04,403 --> 00:13:06,092
I just got a message
from Adams.

289
00:13:06,093 --> 00:13:08,402
They want to meet us back
at the crime scene.

290
00:13:10,093 --> 00:13:12,471
Rhys,
you'll never guess what.

291
00:13:12,472 --> 00:13:14,023
Six years on the job,

292
00:13:14,024 --> 00:13:16,437
first goddamn time
saving a cat from a tree.

293
00:13:17,852 --> 00:13:19,817
Smokey! Hey.

294
00:13:22,196 --> 00:13:24,437
Hey, uh, you should
take my room tonight.

295
00:13:24,438 --> 00:13:25,885
You need some sleep,
all right?

296
00:13:25,886 --> 00:13:27,093
I can take the couch.

297
00:13:28,783 --> 00:13:30,885
I can't close my eyes...

298
00:13:30,886 --> 00:13:33,368
without picturing what
happened to her.

299
00:13:35,265 --> 00:13:37,852
Just tell me what it was like.

300
00:13:39,403 --> 00:13:41,230
In the house.

301
00:13:41,231 --> 00:13:42,575
With Blair.

302
00:13:44,265 --> 00:13:46,920
If the cops think someone
hurt her, I need to know why.

303
00:13:46,921 --> 00:13:49,679
And what happened exactly.
And what I could've done.

304
00:13:50,403 --> 00:13:51,576
You sure you want to know?

305
00:13:52,472 --> 00:13:53,679
Yeah.

306
00:13:55,817 --> 00:13:57,368
I want to know everything.

307
00:13:57,369 --> 00:13:59,023
Our tests confirmed it.

308
00:13:59,024 --> 00:14:02,161
There were traces of gasoline on
the countertop and the floors.

309
00:14:03,507 --> 00:14:05,161
See this clean spot here?

310
00:14:05,162 --> 00:14:07,437
It's what we call
a protected pattern.

311
00:14:07,438 --> 00:14:09,678
That's what happens in a fire
when a heavy object

312
00:14:09,679 --> 00:14:11,264
blocks the airflow

313
00:14:11,265 --> 00:14:13,299
and it protects
the surface underneath.

314
00:14:13,300 --> 00:14:15,300
This is our true
point of origin.

315
00:14:19,990 --> 00:14:21,437
- May I?
- Yeah.

316
00:14:21,438 --> 00:14:23,506
Huh, very good.

317
00:14:23,507 --> 00:14:27,644
Could someone put gasoline
in this coffee maker

318
00:14:27,645 --> 00:14:29,368
and then use it
as an ignition device?

319
00:14:29,369 --> 00:14:33,437
Well, if they filled
the reservoir with gasoline,

320
00:14:33,438 --> 00:14:36,057
it would drip onto the heating
element and vaporize.

321
00:14:36,058 --> 00:14:38,885
The vapor would hit the open
flame on the stove...

322
00:14:38,886 --> 00:14:40,195
Flash fire.

323
00:14:40,196 --> 00:14:42,024
We'll have to test
the coffee maker to be sure.

324
00:14:43,507 --> 00:14:46,747
BRA. It's Brava Brew,
it's a high-end coffee machine.

325
00:14:46,748 --> 00:14:50,575
And the timer to turn it on
can be delayed up to 24 hours.

326
00:14:50,576 --> 00:14:52,057
That's the exact
amount of time

327
00:14:52,058 --> 00:14:53,575
between when Rhys left
for the airport

328
00:14:53,576 --> 00:14:55,471
and when the fire started.

329
00:14:55,472 --> 00:14:57,954
- It was the husband.
- Guys.

330
00:14:57,955 --> 00:15:01,057
We're talking about
a decorated firefighter.

331
00:15:01,058 --> 00:15:03,437
Exactly. His house
burning down in an arson

332
00:15:03,438 --> 00:15:04,920
isn't tragic irony,

333
00:15:04,921 --> 00:15:07,540
it's a cover-up by a man
who murdered his wife

334
00:15:07,541 --> 00:15:09,161
after finding out about
her affair.

335
00:15:09,162 --> 00:15:10,885
An affair he didn't
tell us about.

336
00:15:10,886 --> 00:15:14,368
This is a man who stands
to collect three million dollars

337
00:15:14,369 --> 00:15:16,161
in insurance
if this was an accident.

338
00:15:16,162 --> 00:15:17,920
There's motive times two.

339
00:15:17,921 --> 00:15:20,402
What about the timeline?

340
00:15:20,403 --> 00:15:21,885
According to your case notes,

341
00:15:21,886 --> 00:15:23,506
Rhys was in Vegas
the day of the fire.

342
00:15:23,507 --> 00:15:25,885
The fire marshal confirmed
they found traces of gas

343
00:15:25,886 --> 00:15:27,264
in the reservoir
of the coffee maker.

344
00:15:27,265 --> 00:15:28,989
Rhys killed her,

345
00:15:28,990 --> 00:15:30,885
set the 24-hour timer
on the coffee maker,

346
00:15:30,886 --> 00:15:32,402
then walked out the door.

347
00:15:32,403 --> 00:15:34,920
But he was texting with
his wife the day of the fire.

348
00:15:36,093 --> 00:15:37,403
You gonna get that?

349
00:15:45,438 --> 00:15:47,437
- What is this?
- I scheduled those texts

350
00:15:47,438 --> 00:15:49,092
to go out to you
ten minutes ago.

351
00:15:49,093 --> 00:15:50,575
Rhys could've easily
scheduled those texts

352
00:15:50,576 --> 00:15:53,471
from Blair's phone
to himself to make it look like

353
00:15:53,472 --> 00:15:54,954
she was still alive
when he left.

354
00:15:54,955 --> 00:15:56,783
That's clever.

355
00:15:58,093 --> 00:15:59,264
But it's not a confession.

356
00:15:59,265 --> 00:16:00,609
We're not getting
a confession.

357
00:16:00,610 --> 00:16:01,885
We've already questioned
the guy three times.

358
00:16:01,886 --> 00:16:04,023
He's exercising his right
to remain silent.

359
00:16:04,024 --> 00:16:05,506
He's already got
Lee Hynes on retainer.

360
00:16:05,507 --> 00:16:07,265
He's circling the wagons.

361
00:16:08,817 --> 00:16:13,230
Which is why we need you
to get him in court.

362
00:16:13,231 --> 00:16:15,127
Let the evidence do the talking.

363
00:16:16,783 --> 00:16:18,471
Come on, Theo,
we're telling you,

364
00:16:18,472 --> 00:16:20,506
Rhys Manning murdered
his wife.

365
00:16:20,507 --> 00:16:22,299
He had the means,
he had the motive,

366
00:16:22,300 --> 00:16:23,921
he had the opportunity.

367
00:16:33,955 --> 00:16:35,333
Rhys Manning,
you're under arrest

368
00:16:35,334 --> 00:16:37,990
for arson and for the murder
of Blair Manning.

369
00:16:40,265 --> 00:16:41,609
What do you think
you're doing?

370
00:16:41,610 --> 00:16:43,989
This man just lost everything.
- Not everything.

371
00:16:43,990 --> 00:16:46,679
He still has his right
to due process.

372
00:16:51,093 --> 00:16:53,195
You performed
the autopsy on Blair Manning.

373
00:16:53,196 --> 00:16:55,816
So which came first,

374
00:16:55,817 --> 00:16:59,126
the fire, the fall,
or the strangulation?

375
00:16:59,127 --> 00:17:01,644
There was no soot
in Mrs. Manning's airways,

376
00:17:01,645 --> 00:17:03,471
and there was
no bleeding associated

377
00:17:03,472 --> 00:17:05,678
with any of her fractures
from the fall.

378
00:17:05,679 --> 00:17:09,126
The only injury
with any localized hemorrhaging

379
00:17:09,127 --> 00:17:11,299
was the hyoid bone in her neck.

380
00:17:11,300 --> 00:17:14,264
It's a small, U-shaped bone
right here.

381
00:17:14,265 --> 00:17:16,989
The fracture pattern
indicates strangulation,

382
00:17:16,990 --> 00:17:19,126
and the blood around it proves

383
00:17:19,127 --> 00:17:21,126
that she was alive
when it happened.

384
00:17:21,127 --> 00:17:23,816
Mrs. Manning was dead
before she hit the stairs

385
00:17:23,817 --> 00:17:27,747
and before the fire started.
This was a homicide.

386
00:17:27,748 --> 00:17:30,644
So, it is possible
that Mrs. Manning

387
00:17:30,645 --> 00:17:33,885
could've been killed before
her husband Rhys left for Vegas.

388
00:17:33,886 --> 00:17:36,057
Yes, it's absolutely possible.

389
00:17:36,058 --> 00:17:37,230
Thank you, Doctor.

390
00:17:37,231 --> 00:17:38,679
No more questions.

391
00:17:42,817 --> 00:17:45,471
Doctor, a charred
body presents

392
00:17:45,472 --> 00:17:46,954
one of the most
challenging scenarios

393
00:17:46,955 --> 00:17:48,816
in forensic pathology,
does it not?

394
00:17:48,817 --> 00:17:50,506
It complicates
the examination, yes.

395
00:17:50,507 --> 00:17:53,885
Because intense heat
can cause all kinds of damage,

396
00:17:53,886 --> 00:17:56,333
like contractions so intense
they can snap

397
00:17:56,334 --> 00:17:57,783
the fragile hyoid bone.

398
00:17:58,541 --> 00:18:00,506
Yes, but in this
particular case--

399
00:18:00,507 --> 00:18:01,575
Yes, let's get specific.

400
00:18:01,576 --> 00:18:03,057
In this particular case,

401
00:18:03,058 --> 00:18:05,609
were you able to determine
the exact time of death?

402
00:18:05,610 --> 00:18:07,609
No. The heat damage
was too severe.

403
00:18:07,610 --> 00:18:09,471
So you can't say
for certain

404
00:18:09,472 --> 00:18:11,954
that Blair Manning was dead
before her husband

405
00:18:11,955 --> 00:18:13,403
left for his work trip?

406
00:18:14,507 --> 00:18:16,437
No. I cannot.

407
00:18:16,438 --> 00:18:17,748
You cannot.

408
00:18:19,541 --> 00:18:21,437
No further questions.

409
00:18:28,369 --> 00:18:29,816
Investigator Adams.

410
00:18:29,817 --> 00:18:33,126
Your report states
that you found gasoline residue

411
00:18:33,127 --> 00:18:36,644
in this coffee maker's
reservoir. Is that true?

412
00:18:36,645 --> 00:18:39,195
Uh, yes, as well as
the countertop around it.

413
00:18:39,196 --> 00:18:43,989
The fire was called in exactly
24 hours and eight minutes

414
00:18:43,990 --> 00:18:45,989
after the defendant
left for the airport.

415
00:18:45,990 --> 00:18:49,057
So in your professional opinion,
is it possible

416
00:18:49,058 --> 00:18:51,782
that an experienced firefighter
like Mr. Manning

417
00:18:51,783 --> 00:18:53,885
could set this incineration
device to burn down his house

418
00:18:53,886 --> 00:18:55,920
while sitting
in a casino in Vegas?

419
00:18:55,921 --> 00:18:58,058
Calls to speculation
and leading the witness.

420
00:18:59,058 --> 00:19:01,437
I don't require
an answer, Your Honour.

421
00:19:01,438 --> 00:19:02,783
No further questions.

422
00:19:05,817 --> 00:19:10,644
That is a remarkably complex
hypothesis, Investigator.

423
00:19:10,645 --> 00:19:12,747
A Rube Goldberg machine

424
00:19:12,748 --> 00:19:14,471
made of coffee timers
and gasoline.

425
00:19:14,472 --> 00:19:16,575
But let's look at what else
you found in that kitchen.

426
00:19:16,576 --> 00:19:18,609
On page three
of your investigation report,

427
00:19:18,610 --> 00:19:20,092
you noticed severe heat damage

428
00:19:20,093 --> 00:19:22,299
on and around
the stove, correct?

429
00:19:22,300 --> 00:19:23,885
- Yes.
- And you found a skillet

430
00:19:23,886 --> 00:19:25,851
with charred food in it on
the active burner, did you not?

431
00:19:25,852 --> 00:19:27,644
Yes, but it was
the gasoline that--

432
00:19:27,645 --> 00:19:28,609
According to
Statistics Canada,

433
00:19:28,610 --> 00:19:31,402
32 % of all residential fires,

434
00:19:31,403 --> 00:19:32,954
nearly one third,
are caused by cooking accidents.

435
00:19:32,955 --> 00:19:35,023
Does that sound accurate?

436
00:19:35,024 --> 00:19:37,264
Statistically, yes,
but that doesn't--

437
00:19:37,265 --> 00:19:40,265
Right.
Simple, tragic accidents.

438
00:19:42,679 --> 00:19:46,402
You yourself never left a pan
on a burner a minute too long?

439
00:19:46,403 --> 00:19:47,644
I certainly know I have.

440
00:19:47,645 --> 00:19:49,540
Objection. Irrelevant.

441
00:19:49,541 --> 00:19:50,921
Withdrawn.

442
00:19:52,300 --> 00:19:54,609
Blair said her husband
was very controlling.

443
00:19:54,610 --> 00:19:55,885
Withholding.

444
00:19:55,886 --> 00:19:57,402
Said that he only cared
about his job,

445
00:19:57,403 --> 00:19:59,299
said that she felt like
a prop.

446
00:19:59,300 --> 00:20:00,954
She wanted out.

447
00:20:00,955 --> 00:20:02,471
And yet she ended
things with you.

448
00:20:02,472 --> 00:20:04,161
Did she give you a reason?

449
00:20:04,162 --> 00:20:06,230
She said she wanted
to end things

450
00:20:06,231 --> 00:20:07,816
because she was afraid
of her husband.

451
00:20:07,817 --> 00:20:10,644
I asked her for an explanation.
The day before the fire,

452
00:20:10,645 --> 00:20:13,161
she said that Rhys
had found out about us,

453
00:20:13,162 --> 00:20:15,092
and that she was scared

454
00:20:15,093 --> 00:20:17,609
that he would kill her
if she tried to leave.

455
00:20:21,852 --> 00:20:23,437
No further questions.

456
00:20:27,300 --> 00:20:28,920
Your Honour...

457
00:20:28,921 --> 00:20:31,920
defence has no interest
in dignifying

458
00:20:31,921 --> 00:20:34,576
the fan fiction
of a jilted lover.

459
00:20:35,955 --> 00:20:37,265
No questions.

460
00:20:40,576 --> 00:20:42,782
Hynes is a bulldog.

461
00:20:42,783 --> 00:20:44,816
Hendrix just laid
her client's motive bare

462
00:20:44,817 --> 00:20:46,264
for the entire courtroom to see

463
00:20:46,265 --> 00:20:48,782
and she passes up his throat?
Doesn't make sense.

464
00:20:48,783 --> 00:20:50,506
Well, she didn't want
to dignify the affair

465
00:20:50,507 --> 00:20:52,333
in front of the jury.
- Or she wants them

466
00:20:52,334 --> 00:20:53,713
to hear about it
from someone else.

467
00:20:53,714 --> 00:20:55,403
I think she's gonna put
Rhys on the stand.

468
00:20:56,955 --> 00:20:59,126
Well, that's defence suicide.

469
00:20:59,127 --> 00:21:01,162
So I certainly hope she does.

470
00:21:05,679 --> 00:21:07,644
First of all,
Mr. Manning,

471
00:21:07,645 --> 00:21:09,402
I want to offer you
my condolences

472
00:21:09,403 --> 00:21:10,575
on the loss of your wife.

473
00:21:10,576 --> 00:21:13,299
Sir, I only have
a few questions.

474
00:21:13,300 --> 00:21:15,954
The Crown alleges you discovered
your wife's affair

475
00:21:15,955 --> 00:21:18,402
three days before you left
for Las Vegas.

476
00:21:18,403 --> 00:21:19,472
Is that true?

477
00:21:20,748 --> 00:21:22,264
No, uh, it's not.

478
00:21:22,265 --> 00:21:23,782
The truth is I learned
of Blair's affair

479
00:21:23,783 --> 00:21:25,161
a month before she died.

480
00:21:25,162 --> 00:21:27,609
Objection,
self-serving narrative.

481
00:21:27,610 --> 00:21:29,506
Mr. Forrester does not

482
00:21:29,507 --> 00:21:32,368
a monopoly on the narrative
of this tragedy.

483
00:21:32,369 --> 00:21:33,644
My client's state of mind's

484
00:21:33,645 --> 00:21:36,471
the very definition of relevant,
Your Honour.

485
00:21:36,472 --> 00:21:38,645
I'll allow it.
Proceed, Mr. Manning.

486
00:21:39,852 --> 00:21:41,851
About a month before
she died,

487
00:21:41,852 --> 00:21:43,540
I asked Blair
what was going on with her

488
00:21:43,541 --> 00:21:45,299
and that's when
she told me everything.

489
00:21:45,300 --> 00:21:46,610
And your reaction?

490
00:21:47,645 --> 00:21:48,748
I was devastated.

491
00:21:50,679 --> 00:21:53,471
I wanted to be the man
Blair married, you know?

492
00:21:53,472 --> 00:21:55,575
But this job, it...

493
00:21:55,576 --> 00:21:58,782
it can be tough sometimes,
as you can imagine.

494
00:21:58,783 --> 00:22:01,299
What my wife saw
as me being withholding

495
00:22:01,300 --> 00:22:03,403
was actually me trying to leave
the job at the fire hall.

496
00:22:04,610 --> 00:22:06,092
Misguided as it was.

497
00:22:06,093 --> 00:22:09,300
So when she told me about
the affair, I wasn't angry.

498
00:22:10,576 --> 00:22:12,058
I sort of understood.

499
00:22:13,472 --> 00:22:16,024
But Blair and I, we were trying
to save our marriage.

500
00:22:17,127 --> 00:22:19,610
And that's why she called it off
with Mr. Lane.

501
00:22:20,507 --> 00:22:21,609
Thank you.

502
00:22:21,610 --> 00:22:23,334
No further questions,
Your Honour.

503
00:22:26,990 --> 00:22:28,575
Mr. Manning.

504
00:22:28,576 --> 00:22:30,609
When was the last time
you spoke with your wife?

505
00:22:30,610 --> 00:22:33,506
Uh, we texted back and forth
while I was in Vegas,

506
00:22:33,507 --> 00:22:35,092
the day of the fire.

507
00:22:35,093 --> 00:22:37,714
Your honour, I would like
to show the witness exhibit 44.

508
00:22:39,610 --> 00:22:42,264
Mrs. Manning's text messages.
- Go ahead.

509
00:22:45,162 --> 00:22:47,333
Please read
the last two messages

510
00:22:47,334 --> 00:22:48,334
you received from your wife.

511
00:22:54,300 --> 00:22:57,333
"You're gonna smash it, babe.
Sending love."

512
00:22:57,334 --> 00:23:00,540
And, "Just cooking dinner.
Night, love."

513
00:23:00,541 --> 00:23:04,265
Blair wrote "love" twice.
Spell it for the jury.

514
00:23:04,783 --> 00:23:06,713
L-O-V-E.

515
00:23:06,714 --> 00:23:10,196
Now, flip back three weeks.
Tell us how she spelled it then.

516
00:23:16,300 --> 00:23:18,678
She spelled it L U V.

517
00:23:18,679 --> 00:23:20,299
L U V.

518
00:23:20,300 --> 00:23:22,092
Every single time.

519
00:23:22,093 --> 00:23:24,471
Right up until the moment
you left for the airport.

520
00:23:24,472 --> 00:23:28,058
Then suddenly, your wife
discovers the correct spelling?

521
00:23:30,610 --> 00:23:31,472
No.

522
00:23:32,852 --> 00:23:35,471
Because I suggest
you wrote those texts

523
00:23:35,472 --> 00:23:36,989
after you strangled her.

524
00:23:36,990 --> 00:23:40,471
You scheduled the texts to send
while you were in Vegas

525
00:23:40,472 --> 00:23:43,161
to give yourself
a thousand-mile alibi.

526
00:23:43,162 --> 00:23:44,403
True or false?
- False.

527
00:23:47,162 --> 00:23:48,299
Okay, fine.

528
00:23:48,300 --> 00:23:50,162
Let's go back
to the day in question.

529
00:23:51,093 --> 00:23:55,057
There's a text message
from your wife's cousin, Susan.

530
00:23:55,058 --> 00:23:56,540
What does it say?

531
00:23:56,541 --> 00:23:59,609
Uh, it says, "It's a boy."

532
00:23:59,610 --> 00:24:03,368
"It's a boy."
Susan had a baby.

533
00:24:03,369 --> 00:24:06,402
Yet your wife didn't answer,
did she?

534
00:24:06,403 --> 00:24:08,747
No congratulations, no nothing.

535
00:24:08,748 --> 00:24:10,092
Your wife didn't answer

536
00:24:10,093 --> 00:24:12,195
her mother, her cousin,
her work.

537
00:24:12,196 --> 00:24:13,920
She didn't go anywhere.

538
00:24:13,921 --> 00:24:17,023
Send an email, she didn't
use a bank machine.

539
00:24:17,024 --> 00:24:21,264
For the last 24 hours of Blair
Manning's life,

540
00:24:21,265 --> 00:24:24,886
the only thing she did was text
her ever-loving husband?

541
00:24:26,645 --> 00:24:28,092
Okay, can you explain that?

542
00:24:28,093 --> 00:24:30,195
'Cause to me it sounds like
you sent those texts.

543
00:24:30,196 --> 00:24:33,195
Objection, Your Honour!
Council is testifying.

544
00:24:33,196 --> 00:24:34,678
I'm putting the Crown's theory
to the accused.

545
00:24:34,679 --> 00:24:35,954
He can answer it.

546
00:24:35,955 --> 00:24:36,989
Answer the question,
Mr. Manning.

547
00:24:36,990 --> 00:24:38,126
I can't answer it!

548
00:24:38,127 --> 00:24:39,954
Because I didn't send
those text messages.

549
00:24:39,955 --> 00:24:41,886
And I sure as hell
didn't kill my wife.

550
00:24:44,679 --> 00:24:46,368
I didn't do it, okay?

551
00:25:04,507 --> 00:25:05,817
- Thanks, man.
- Yeah.

552
00:25:07,300 --> 00:25:08,989
I was just thinking about
that five-alarm

553
00:25:08,990 --> 00:25:10,438
on Royal York three years ago.

554
00:25:11,300 --> 00:25:13,264
Yeah, floor gave up
right under me.

555
00:25:13,265 --> 00:25:15,161
Still got the scar on my knee.

556
00:25:15,162 --> 00:25:17,782
Smoke so thick I couldn't
even see my own boots.

557
00:25:17,783 --> 00:25:19,989
Didn't even know it was
you when I grabbed you.

558
00:25:19,990 --> 00:25:22,127
I almost pulled you down
with me. But, um.

559
00:25:23,403 --> 00:25:24,610
I knew you'd get us out.

560
00:25:29,058 --> 00:25:29,921
I'm gonna miss it.

561
00:25:31,783 --> 00:25:33,713
- What're you talking about.
- The job.

562
00:25:33,714 --> 00:25:35,299
The guys.

563
00:25:35,300 --> 00:25:37,540
Standing on the front
line with you.

564
00:25:37,541 --> 00:25:39,920
Rhys... come on.

565
00:25:39,921 --> 00:25:41,575
You were there
in the court today, Simms.

566
00:25:41,576 --> 00:25:42,817
You saw me.

567
00:25:44,886 --> 00:25:46,230
I lost it on the stand.

568
00:25:46,231 --> 00:25:47,782
That's all the jury's
gonna be thinking about

569
00:25:47,783 --> 00:25:48,575
when they're deliberating.

570
00:25:55,369 --> 00:25:57,023
I loved her so much.

571
00:26:04,334 --> 00:26:06,576
The defence calls
Easton Simms.

572
00:26:11,714 --> 00:26:13,334
What do you think the play is?

573
00:26:14,403 --> 00:26:15,748
Character witness?

574
00:26:16,403 --> 00:26:17,782
Get Rhys's crew to talk about

575
00:26:17,783 --> 00:26:19,471
his heroism in the field?
- Maybe.

576
00:26:19,472 --> 00:26:21,368
... that the evidence
being given by you to the court

577
00:26:21,369 --> 00:26:22,506
shall be the truth, the whole
truth,

578
00:26:22,507 --> 00:26:24,816
and nothing but the truth?
- I do.

579
00:26:24,817 --> 00:26:27,333
Mr. Simms, how do you know
the defendant?

580
00:26:27,334 --> 00:26:29,609
We're both on A-Platoon
at Station 104.

581
00:26:29,610 --> 00:26:30,954
Station 104 responded
to the fire

582
00:26:30,955 --> 00:26:33,126
at the Manning residence, correct?

583
00:26:33,127 --> 00:26:35,402
- Yes, that's correct.
- And you were a first
responder on that call.

584
00:26:35,403 --> 00:26:37,161
Define your role to the jury.

585
00:26:37,162 --> 00:26:38,782
I was part of the fire crew
that attacked

586
00:26:38,783 --> 00:26:40,333
and suppressed the fire.

587
00:26:40,334 --> 00:26:42,644
Later, under
Investigator Adams' direction,

588
00:26:42,645 --> 00:26:44,678
I assisted in evidence recovery.

589
00:26:44,679 --> 00:26:46,644
I removed sections
of the kitchen countertop

590
00:26:46,645 --> 00:26:48,885
and flooring at the fire's point
of origin.

591
00:26:48,886 --> 00:26:50,540
And what was the inspector
looking for?

592
00:26:50,541 --> 00:26:52,333
Evidence
of an ignitable liquid.

593
00:26:52,334 --> 00:26:55,644
Like gasoline, for example?

594
00:26:55,645 --> 00:26:57,057
Yes.

595
00:26:57,058 --> 00:26:59,782
And what equipment did you
use to pull the samples?

596
00:26:59,783 --> 00:27:01,230
A gasoline-powered saw.

597
00:27:01,231 --> 00:27:03,885
Objection, the defence
gave no notice

598
00:27:03,886 --> 00:27:05,057
they would present
such evidence.

599
00:27:05,058 --> 00:27:06,264
And if that's where we're going,

600
00:27:06,265 --> 00:27:08,126
I request an adjournment
to review--

601
00:27:08,127 --> 00:27:09,575
If Mr. Forrester looks
at the fire marshal

602
00:27:09,576 --> 00:27:12,437
investigation report,
which the Crown itself

603
00:27:12,438 --> 00:27:14,092
disclosed months ago, it notes,

604
00:27:14,093 --> 00:27:16,402
"a firefighter removed
those samples."

605
00:27:16,403 --> 00:27:18,402
That firefighter is my witness.

606
00:27:18,403 --> 00:27:19,885
Request denied.

607
00:27:19,886 --> 00:27:21,471
Defence may proceed.

608
00:27:21,472 --> 00:27:25,747
So, Mr. Simms,
are you saying that the gas

609
00:27:25,748 --> 00:27:29,816
the fire marshal found,
the same gas the Crown claims

610
00:27:29,817 --> 00:27:33,678
Mr. Manning used to burn down
his own home

611
00:27:33,679 --> 00:27:36,057
might have leaked
from your power tool?

612
00:27:36,058 --> 00:27:39,057
- Yes.
- And where was the coffee maker

613
00:27:39,058 --> 00:27:40,333
when you were pulling
those samples?

614
00:27:40,334 --> 00:27:41,506
On the floor.

615
00:27:41,507 --> 00:27:42,851
On the floor
near the gas-powered saw

616
00:27:42,852 --> 00:27:44,333
you were using
to take the samples?

617
00:27:44,334 --> 00:27:45,540
Yes.

618
00:27:45,541 --> 00:27:47,816
I'm sorry, I should have
spoken up earlier,

619
00:27:47,817 --> 00:27:49,333
I was embarrassed by my mistake.

620
00:27:49,334 --> 00:27:51,713
Yes, the truth is, I may have
contaminated the scene.

621
00:27:55,610 --> 00:27:56,748
Quiet, please.

622
00:27:57,714 --> 00:27:59,127
Thank you, Your Honour.

623
00:28:00,403 --> 00:28:02,333
So, to be clear, Mr. Simms,

624
00:28:02,334 --> 00:28:04,506
based on your
first-hand actions,

625
00:28:04,507 --> 00:28:07,644
this jury is looking
at a compromised crime scene.

626
00:28:07,645 --> 00:28:11,678
A fire of uncertain origins
and an inconclusive timeline,

627
00:28:11,679 --> 00:28:13,126
all of which points
to reasonable doubt.

628
00:28:13,127 --> 00:28:14,540
Objection.

629
00:28:14,541 --> 00:28:17,747
Council is presenting closing
arguments mid-trial.

630
00:28:17,748 --> 00:28:19,610
Withdrawn, Your Honour.

631
00:28:20,265 --> 00:28:21,575
No more questions.

632
00:28:38,093 --> 00:28:38,990
Be seated.

633
00:28:44,162 --> 00:28:45,783
Will the defendant
please rise?

634
00:28:55,024 --> 00:28:57,609
Ladies and gentlemen,
do you have a verdict?

635
00:28:57,610 --> 00:28:58,954
Yes, Your Honour.

636
00:28:58,955 --> 00:29:00,989
On the counts
of arson and murder,

637
00:29:00,990 --> 00:29:02,885
how do you find the accused?

638
00:29:02,886 --> 00:29:05,989
We the jury find
the defendant Rhys Manning

639
00:29:05,990 --> 00:29:07,161
not guilty.

640
00:29:13,093 --> 00:29:14,990
Hey!

641
00:29:19,852 --> 00:29:21,403
Quiet, please.

642
00:29:27,679 --> 00:29:28,507
Ugh.

643
00:29:30,955 --> 00:29:33,161
Adams said they stepped away
from the crime scene

644
00:29:33,162 --> 00:29:36,126
to grab their field kit while
Simms was pulling the samples.

645
00:29:36,127 --> 00:29:39,713
But Simms was using
a manual chisel at the time.

646
00:29:39,714 --> 00:29:43,161
Adams never heard or saw
a gas-powered tool.

647
00:29:43,162 --> 00:29:44,713
So Simms perjured himself.

648
00:29:44,714 --> 00:29:46,195
- Yeah.
- 'Cause Rhys convinced him to.

649
00:29:46,196 --> 00:29:47,782
We can't just let this guy go.

650
00:29:47,783 --> 00:29:49,023
Then what do you suggest
we do?

651
00:29:49,024 --> 00:29:51,161
The Crown can't appeal
based on fresh evidence,

652
00:29:51,162 --> 00:29:52,989
even if it shows
there was perjury.

653
00:29:52,990 --> 00:29:56,023
Double jeopardy kicked
in the second that jury

654
00:29:56,024 --> 00:29:57,264
gave their verdict.
- The guy's guilty.

655
00:29:57,265 --> 00:29:59,368
Oh, very helpful.
And no, he's not.

656
00:29:59,369 --> 00:30:01,471
You know why?
Because the jury said so.

657
00:30:01,472 --> 00:30:04,057
Rhys Manning is a free man.

658
00:30:04,058 --> 00:30:06,368
Theo, if you had just caught
Simms in disclosure--

659
00:30:06,369 --> 00:30:07,679
It was your crime scene.

660
00:30:11,852 --> 00:30:14,471
This is over, Detectives.

661
00:30:14,472 --> 00:30:16,576
Theo, wait, I'm sorry.

662
00:30:18,403 --> 00:30:19,369
We all got played.

663
00:30:21,472 --> 00:30:23,506
Rhys obstructed justice
in his own trial.

664
00:30:23,507 --> 00:30:25,920
It's not murder, but it puts him
in a jail cell.

665
00:30:25,921 --> 00:30:27,816
Mm, no, no, no.
This department just suffered

666
00:30:27,817 --> 00:30:31,368
a very public loss.
You're not going near him.

667
00:30:31,369 --> 00:30:32,852
Wait, what
if we don't have to?

668
00:30:35,679 --> 00:30:38,024
Rhys wasn't the only one
who lied on the stand.

669
00:30:38,507 --> 00:30:40,989
If Simms talks,
we can make sure

670
00:30:40,990 --> 00:30:42,886
the next front page
has Rhys in a jump suit.

671
00:30:45,852 --> 00:30:48,023
Okay.
Talk to the friend.

672
00:30:48,024 --> 00:30:51,195
But if he doesn't give you
anything to move on

673
00:30:51,196 --> 00:30:54,471
in the next 24 hours,
I'm with Forrester,

674
00:30:54,472 --> 00:30:56,265
and this is over.

675
00:30:58,714 --> 00:31:01,609
Go ahead, ask any one
of my guys on the crew.

676
00:31:01,610 --> 00:31:03,092
They'll tell you I had the saw.

677
00:31:03,093 --> 00:31:04,816
Oh, right,
the sacred brotherhood.

678
00:31:04,817 --> 00:31:06,368
You guys always have
each other's backs.

679
00:31:06,369 --> 00:31:08,092
On the job.
On the witness stand.

680
00:31:08,093 --> 00:31:10,264
Aren't you one to generalize.
Look at you guys.

681
00:31:10,265 --> 00:31:12,092
Dead wife, so it has
to be the husband.

682
00:31:12,093 --> 00:31:14,057
It's a little lazy.

683
00:31:14,058 --> 00:31:16,816
The man's job is saving lives.

684
00:31:16,817 --> 00:31:18,920
Doesn't mean he's incapable
of taking them.

685
00:31:18,921 --> 00:31:20,644
- Rhys didn't kill Blair.
- Oh, right.

686
00:31:20,645 --> 00:31:22,438
And you didn't perjure
yourself under oath.

687
00:31:23,576 --> 00:31:24,472
Come on.

688
00:31:25,024 --> 00:31:26,576
Give me a name.

689
00:31:27,921 --> 00:31:29,540
Who killed her?
- You want suspects?

690
00:31:29,541 --> 00:31:31,885
Have a closer look at Blair.
- Why?

691
00:31:31,886 --> 00:31:33,368
She was the one
with the secret life.

692
00:31:33,369 --> 00:31:36,161
Cheating, sneaking around,
being a complete hypocrite.

693
00:31:36,162 --> 00:31:38,161
Hang on, what do
you mean, "hypocrite?"

694
00:31:38,162 --> 00:31:39,782
She called me a few days
before the fire,

695
00:31:39,783 --> 00:31:41,782
said she was looking for Rhys
at the station.

696
00:31:41,783 --> 00:31:44,437
And when I told her that
he wasn't there,

697
00:31:44,438 --> 00:31:46,747
she asked me who he was seeing.

698
00:31:46,748 --> 00:31:48,195
And what did you tell her?

699
00:31:48,196 --> 00:31:50,265
I said I didn't know
what she was talking about.

700
00:31:51,576 --> 00:31:53,609
Rhys just wants to put
this all behind him

701
00:31:53,610 --> 00:31:55,576
and get back to work.
I mean, we all do.

702
00:31:57,783 --> 00:31:59,299
So can I please go now?

703
00:32:02,576 --> 00:32:04,472
Sit tight.

704
00:32:07,369 --> 00:32:10,299
Okay, if Blair was worried
about Rhys seeing someone else,

705
00:32:10,300 --> 00:32:11,747
then maybe she wasn't
the only one

706
00:32:11,748 --> 00:32:13,161
who wanted out of the marriage.

707
00:32:13,162 --> 00:32:16,610
Divorce costs money,
a dead wife pays three million.

708
00:32:17,541 --> 00:32:19,714
What we know for sure is that
Blair was looking for answers.

709
00:32:21,334 --> 00:32:22,989
Let's find out if she got them.

710
00:32:27,024 --> 00:32:28,471
You sure this is it?

711
00:32:28,472 --> 00:32:31,782
Yeah, this is the address
Blair put into her GPS

712
00:32:31,783 --> 00:32:33,023
the day she talked to Simms.

713
00:32:33,024 --> 00:32:35,437
Mark said that she checked
Rhys's location

714
00:32:35,438 --> 00:32:36,576
before she got here.

715
00:32:37,783 --> 00:32:40,851
Owner died two years ago.
No family.

716
00:32:40,852 --> 00:32:43,438
Property's in limbo
with the trustee office.

717
00:32:45,472 --> 00:32:46,576
Police?

718
00:32:47,576 --> 00:32:48,472
Anyone there?

719
00:33:04,024 --> 00:33:04,886
Pull it up.

720
00:33:12,058 --> 00:33:14,023
Well, whatever Rhys
was doing in here,

721
00:33:14,024 --> 00:33:15,576
it was not getting lucky.

722
00:33:21,403 --> 00:33:23,161
Hey, there's something
under here.

723
00:33:38,058 --> 00:33:39,678
These look like burn marks.

724
00:33:39,679 --> 00:33:42,369
These circles
are protected patterns.

725
00:33:43,196 --> 00:33:44,886
The numbers must be variables.

726
00:33:45,748 --> 00:33:47,161
I'm starting to think
Rhys's house

727
00:33:47,162 --> 00:33:48,678
isn't the first fire he's set.

728
00:33:54,472 --> 00:33:57,126
I have seen these grids
before at training seminars.

729
00:33:57,127 --> 00:33:58,264
Rhys was experimenting

730
00:33:58,265 --> 00:33:59,851
with spontaneous
chemical combustion.

731
00:33:59,852 --> 00:34:01,368
Delayed arson,
like his house fire.

732
00:34:01,369 --> 00:34:03,299
Yeah, except this is a totally
different method.

733
00:34:03,300 --> 00:34:06,230
The circular protected patterns,
they all represent

734
00:34:06,231 --> 00:34:08,816
different sized metal containers
like cans.

735
00:34:08,817 --> 00:34:11,402
You add a drying oil
like teak or linseed,

736
00:34:11,403 --> 00:34:12,540
and then you pack it
really tightly

737
00:34:12,541 --> 00:34:13,920
with a cotton rag.

738
00:34:13,921 --> 00:34:16,713
The oil oxidizes
until the cotton rag heats up

739
00:34:16,714 --> 00:34:17,885
until the point of ignition.

740
00:34:17,886 --> 00:34:19,678
What about the numbers
on the grid?

741
00:34:19,679 --> 00:34:20,989
It looks like Rhys
was calculating

742
00:34:20,990 --> 00:34:22,644
the math of the countdown.

743
00:34:22,645 --> 00:34:26,299
Small versus large, uh,
100 millilitres versus two.

744
00:34:26,300 --> 00:34:28,471
Have you ever seen anything
like this before?

745
00:34:28,472 --> 00:34:30,609
Is there any record
of any arsonist in the city

746
00:34:30,610 --> 00:34:32,023
ever using this method?

747
00:34:32,024 --> 00:34:33,713
No, I mean, that's the clever
thing about it.

748
00:34:33,714 --> 00:34:34,954
The evidence incinerates itself.

749
00:34:34,955 --> 00:34:36,989
All you're left with
is a container.

750
00:34:36,990 --> 00:34:39,437
And if the can is small enough,
it'll be displaced

751
00:34:39,438 --> 00:34:40,954
by the high pressure
of a fire hose.

752
00:34:40,955 --> 00:34:42,954
Especially if the arsonist
is the one holding it.

753
00:34:42,955 --> 00:34:46,092
What if the reason Rhys
was trying to get the delay

754
00:34:46,093 --> 00:34:47,747
down to a science
was so that he could plant

755
00:34:47,748 --> 00:34:50,230
the ignition device
and make sure he was on duty

756
00:34:50,231 --> 00:34:51,438
when the call came in?

757
00:34:52,679 --> 00:34:54,300
We should start
with his schedule.

758
00:34:54,783 --> 00:34:56,299
Jodie, do you have
the forensic files

759
00:34:56,300 --> 00:34:57,920
for the fires
that Rhys responded to?

760
00:34:57,921 --> 00:34:59,334
Yeah.

761
00:35:04,024 --> 00:35:05,126
Guys.

762
00:35:09,403 --> 00:35:10,403
Hey...

763
00:35:12,024 --> 00:35:13,195
I got it.
All right, cap?

764
00:35:13,196 --> 00:35:14,024
Yeah.

765
00:35:19,679 --> 00:35:21,195
Welcome back, brother!

766
00:35:21,196 --> 00:35:23,403
Wait, are you serious, man?

767
00:35:24,369 --> 00:35:27,540
Come on!
You're gonna squish the donuts!

768
00:35:27,541 --> 00:35:28,989
- Oh, are these for us? Aw!
- Yeah!

769
00:35:28,990 --> 00:35:30,506
Now, looking
at the area of origin

770
00:35:30,507 --> 00:35:32,057
in all four of these fires,

771
00:35:32,058 --> 00:35:34,368
they all have the same small
circular protected pattern.

772
00:35:34,369 --> 00:35:36,747
The same as the last row
on Rhys's test grid.

773
00:35:36,748 --> 00:35:39,333
Looks like that's the size
of the container he settled on.

774
00:35:39,334 --> 00:35:41,471
Now, all of these fires
started in storage rooms.

775
00:35:41,472 --> 00:35:43,161
They would've been packed
with combustibles,

776
00:35:43,162 --> 00:35:44,782
they would've accelerated
the flame

777
00:35:44,783 --> 00:35:45,955
and hid the ignition source.

778
00:35:46,645 --> 00:35:48,368
And Rhys was the lead
on all four?

779
00:35:48,369 --> 00:35:49,851
Ah, make that five.

780
00:35:49,852 --> 00:35:51,885
A restaurant on Kipling.

781
00:35:51,886 --> 00:35:54,057
Wow, these go back
two years.

782
00:35:54,058 --> 00:35:56,093
- Any casualties?
- No.

783
00:35:57,748 --> 00:35:59,333
We've only just scratched
the surface.

784
00:35:59,334 --> 00:36:00,782
I'm gonna text Mark.

785
00:36:00,783 --> 00:36:02,921
Get him to dig into every fire
that Rhys was ever at.

786
00:36:04,990 --> 00:36:06,368
I've seen this before.

787
00:36:06,369 --> 00:36:09,265
Can you pull this restaurant
fire up on your monitor?

788
00:36:10,783 --> 00:36:13,196
Uh, bottom left corner.
Can you zoom in?

789
00:36:23,610 --> 00:36:26,575
"The... Cutest Carnivore?"

790
00:36:26,576 --> 00:36:29,368
That's the same brand
of cat food at Rhys's house.

791
00:36:29,369 --> 00:36:31,783
That's what caused all those
protected patterns.

792
00:36:33,300 --> 00:36:36,230
This guy lights fires so he can
be the hero and put them out.

793
00:36:36,231 --> 00:36:38,300
And maybe Blair knew it.

794
00:36:40,231 --> 00:36:41,402
That's why he killed her.

795
00:36:47,093 --> 00:36:51,264
I give you guys 24 hours
to prove that Rhys Manning

796
00:36:51,265 --> 00:36:53,989
tampered with a witness,
and you come back claiming

797
00:36:53,990 --> 00:36:57,092
that he started several
unrelated fires instead?

798
00:36:57,093 --> 00:36:58,196
Respectfully,
they're not unrelated.

799
00:36:59,093 --> 00:37:01,782
We lost that trial because
the jury didn't believe

800
00:37:01,783 --> 00:37:04,161
that Rhys started
a delayed fire at his own home.

801
00:37:04,162 --> 00:37:05,300
But we had the wrong motive.

802
00:37:07,507 --> 00:37:08,714
Say more.

803
00:37:10,507 --> 00:37:13,162
His wife found out
he was an arsonist.

804
00:37:17,162 --> 00:37:18,989
After we realized
what Rhys was doing,

805
00:37:18,990 --> 00:37:22,471
we found a folder
for a fake property listing

806
00:37:22,472 --> 00:37:24,299
on Blair's tablet.

807
00:37:24,300 --> 00:37:26,816
She created it the day after
she tracked Rhys's location.

808
00:37:26,817 --> 00:37:30,333
It had photos of his garage lab,
hardware store receipts

809
00:37:30,334 --> 00:37:33,299
for rags, teak oil,
all kinds of--

810
00:37:33,300 --> 00:37:36,161
Whoa, wait.
If Rhys was a teak oil rags guy,

811
00:37:36,162 --> 00:37:38,678
why didn't he use that method
in his own house?

812
00:37:38,679 --> 00:37:40,506
Because it would take
too long to ignite.

813
00:37:40,507 --> 00:37:44,644
Rhys's experiments
gave him a 36 to 48 hour window.

814
00:37:44,645 --> 00:37:48,609
If he used his usual method,
he would risk arriving

815
00:37:48,610 --> 00:37:50,713
home from Vegas before
his house burned down.

816
00:37:50,714 --> 00:37:54,092
He needed to pivot
to something faster.

817
00:37:54,093 --> 00:37:55,920
That's where
the coffee maker came in.

818
00:37:55,921 --> 00:37:57,368
This changes nothing
about his acquittal.

819
00:37:57,369 --> 00:38:00,575
Can't try the guy a second
time for the same murder.

820
00:38:00,576 --> 00:38:01,852
No, I know.

821
00:38:02,438 --> 00:38:03,885
But we can get him on arson.

822
00:38:03,886 --> 00:38:05,885
So, what? Put him away
for a few years,

823
00:38:05,886 --> 00:38:07,954
hope he comes out a changed man?

824
00:38:07,955 --> 00:38:11,609
Theo, it's not just one fire,
he's... he's escalating.

825
00:38:11,610 --> 00:38:13,885
He's doing this for the praise,
for the attention.

826
00:38:13,886 --> 00:38:15,955
He's sociopathic.

827
00:38:16,921 --> 00:38:19,955
Fire after fire, after
fire, after fire.

828
00:38:20,714 --> 00:38:23,438
He murdered his own wife just
to protect his own mythology.

829
00:38:27,300 --> 00:38:28,369
Pinewood Elementary...

830
00:38:30,403 --> 00:38:31,231
Last June.

831
00:38:32,576 --> 00:38:33,817
We covered that with Adams.

832
00:38:34,783 --> 00:38:36,126
Rhys wasn't working that day,

833
00:38:36,127 --> 00:38:37,886
he wasn't working that fire,
so why was he there?

834
00:38:42,058 --> 00:38:43,954
Rhys was originally
scheduled to work

835
00:38:43,955 --> 00:38:45,747
the day of the Pinewood fire
but he rolled his ankle

836
00:38:45,748 --> 00:38:47,851
the day before so I sent him
home for the week.

837
00:38:47,852 --> 00:38:49,195
But he came back?

838
00:38:49,196 --> 00:38:50,885
Crew told me showed up
the next day

839
00:38:50,886 --> 00:38:52,506
with a box of donuts.

840
00:38:52,507 --> 00:38:53,817
I ended up
sticking around, which...

841
00:38:54,886 --> 00:38:56,161
...was a good thing, too.

842
00:38:56,162 --> 00:38:58,092
That school fire got out
of control real fast.

843
00:38:58,093 --> 00:39:00,058
Yeah, so we heard.
It took out a few classrooms.

844
00:39:01,334 --> 00:39:02,679
Yeah, well,
it could've been worse.

845
00:39:04,714 --> 00:39:05,920
We only lost one.

846
00:39:05,921 --> 00:39:07,783
What do you mean,
"you only lost one?"

847
00:39:11,231 --> 00:39:12,196
Mr. Manning!

848
00:39:14,162 --> 00:39:15,024
A few words?

849
00:39:18,334 --> 00:39:19,541
It's fine.

850
00:39:20,645 --> 00:39:21,506
Depends on the words.

851
00:39:21,507 --> 00:39:22,955
How about "We're sorry?"

852
00:39:25,748 --> 00:39:26,714
Look, Rhys...

853
00:39:27,300 --> 00:39:29,886
Cops and firefighters,
We're not that different.

854
00:39:30,438 --> 00:39:32,955
We're all here
to save lives, right?

855
00:39:33,334 --> 00:39:34,162
Yeah.

856
00:39:36,300 --> 00:39:37,369
Appreciate the apology.

857
00:39:38,645 --> 00:39:40,644
But, if that's all,
I got work to do.

858
00:39:40,645 --> 00:39:45,471
Hey, Toronto Fire passed you
over for lieutenant...

859
00:39:45,472 --> 00:39:47,471
three times before you finally
made the cut, right?

860
00:39:47,472 --> 00:39:49,057
Apparently, there was a...

861
00:39:49,058 --> 00:39:52,816
issue with your
leadership abilities,

862
00:39:52,817 --> 00:39:54,126
you were more of a crew guy.

863
00:39:54,127 --> 00:39:56,885
But you didn't like that,
so you found a shortcut.

864
00:39:56,886 --> 00:39:58,989
You started
setting fires yourself

865
00:39:58,990 --> 00:40:00,575
so you could be the hero
who put them out.

866
00:40:04,921 --> 00:40:06,437
And it worked.

867
00:40:06,438 --> 00:40:07,402
You got promoted.

868
00:40:07,403 --> 00:40:08,851
Conferences started calling.

869
00:40:08,852 --> 00:40:10,954
- What are you talking about?
- Oh, he knows.

870
00:40:10,955 --> 00:40:12,782
No idea what these guys
are talking about.

871
00:40:12,783 --> 00:40:14,161
Is that what you told Blair?

872
00:40:14,162 --> 00:40:15,782
When she figured it out,
after she called Simms here,

873
00:40:15,783 --> 00:40:18,092
followed you back
to your little fire lab?

874
00:40:18,093 --> 00:40:22,023
Your wife finally saw you
for what you really are.

875
00:40:22,024 --> 00:40:23,816
A sociopath and an arsonist.

876
00:40:25,783 --> 00:40:27,437
And so you killed her.

877
00:40:27,438 --> 00:40:28,989
I was acquitted
of my wife's death.

878
00:40:28,990 --> 00:40:30,851
You're right. Legally.

879
00:40:30,852 --> 00:40:32,507
You can't be tried for it again.

880
00:40:34,714 --> 00:40:39,162
But the Crown hasn't tried you
for the death of Penny Campbell.

881
00:40:41,679 --> 00:40:43,264
Remember Pinewood Elementary?

882
00:40:43,265 --> 00:40:45,713
Everyone made it out safely.

883
00:40:45,714 --> 00:40:47,057
Except Penny.

884
00:40:47,058 --> 00:40:48,816
Eight years old, she snuck off
to the supply room

885
00:40:48,817 --> 00:40:51,575
off the library
to read over lunch.

886
00:40:51,576 --> 00:40:54,817
She ended up with third-degree
burns all over her body.

887
00:40:56,472 --> 00:40:57,851
There were cover stories.

888
00:40:57,852 --> 00:40:59,369
With your face on it.

889
00:41:00,679 --> 00:41:03,333
But none about that little girl
who died three months later

890
00:41:03,334 --> 00:41:05,989
when she got sepsis from
the injuries that you caused.

891
00:41:05,990 --> 00:41:08,851
She got two paragraphs
in a local paper.

892
00:41:08,852 --> 00:41:10,540
I saved 12 kids that day.

893
00:41:10,541 --> 00:41:12,506
I was the first one in the door,
and I didn't stop.

894
00:41:12,507 --> 00:41:15,402
- You were a hero.
- Yeah, actually. I was.

895
00:41:15,403 --> 00:41:17,230
I am. We are.

896
00:41:17,231 --> 00:41:18,575
Yeah.

897
00:41:18,576 --> 00:41:21,954
You couldn't do what we do.
Neither could you.

898
00:41:21,955 --> 00:41:24,678
Takes a certain type of person
to run into a burning building.

899
00:41:24,679 --> 00:41:25,541
You know why?

900
00:41:27,196 --> 00:41:28,713
Because it's counterintuitive.

901
00:41:28,714 --> 00:41:30,540
The body just doesn't
want to do it.

902
00:41:30,541 --> 00:41:32,402
So you have to override
that instinct,

903
00:41:32,403 --> 00:41:34,816
and you have to run
into that fire to save lives.

904
00:41:34,817 --> 00:41:35,851
And then you know what?

905
00:41:35,852 --> 00:41:37,057
The little kids thank
you for it.

906
00:41:38,783 --> 00:41:40,575
Yeah, they do.
Everyone thanks you for it.

907
00:41:40,576 --> 00:41:42,023
Everyone except you two.

908
00:41:42,024 --> 00:41:44,230
You have no idea who I am.
- Oh, we do, actually.

909
00:41:44,231 --> 00:41:45,438
As a matter of fact, catch.

910
00:41:50,162 --> 00:41:52,885
You were so busy
pulling kids out

911
00:41:52,886 --> 00:41:55,575
for your photo op
that you forgot to retrieve

912
00:41:55,576 --> 00:41:57,369
the ignition device
you left behind.

913
00:41:59,196 --> 00:42:01,231
That's the stuff
you feed your cat.

914
00:42:01,886 --> 00:42:02,920
Imported from California.

915
00:42:02,921 --> 00:42:03,920
It's actually
quite hard to find.

916
00:42:03,921 --> 00:42:05,783
This is ridiculous.

917
00:42:06,127 --> 00:42:07,713
You realize that, right?

918
00:42:07,714 --> 00:42:09,126
Because I have no idea what
he's talking about--

919
00:42:09,127 --> 00:42:10,610
I've got five more photos
just like that.

920
00:42:12,403 --> 00:42:15,195
Your lieutenant here
has been setting the fires

921
00:42:15,196 --> 00:42:17,230
you're risking your lives
to put out.

922
00:42:27,472 --> 00:42:28,334
Rhys.

923
00:42:29,645 --> 00:42:30,921
Look at me.

924
00:42:36,231 --> 00:42:37,264
You really think
your brotherhood's

925
00:42:37,265 --> 00:42:38,506
gonna protect you this time?

926
00:42:42,748 --> 00:42:44,333
Cap, come on.

927
00:42:47,990 --> 00:42:49,851
Come on, you can't believe
this, right?

928
00:42:49,852 --> 00:42:51,437
Come on... hey, gets
your hands off me!

929
00:42:51,438 --> 00:42:52,300
Simms!

930
00:43:00,783 --> 00:43:03,609
Today marks the beginning
of the Crown's prosecution

931
00:43:03,610 --> 00:43:07,264
of Rhys Manning for the arson
at Pinewood Elementary

932
00:43:07,265 --> 00:43:09,264
and for the resulting death

933
00:43:09,265 --> 00:43:11,299
of eight-year-old
Penny Campbell.

934
00:43:11,300 --> 00:43:12,851
We also hope
that these proceedings

935
00:43:12,852 --> 00:43:18,126
will bring a measure of justice
to Blair Manning's family.

936
00:43:18,127 --> 00:43:21,092
You think this gets us back
in Theo's good books?

937
00:43:21,093 --> 00:43:23,230
I don't know.

938
00:43:23,231 --> 00:43:24,748
Let's wait
for the smoke to clear.

939
00:43:48,058 --> 00:43:51,541
difuze
