Night clerk Awad Abdalla

was shot several times by a masked man

armed with a 9mm handgun.

When there's that much
blood, you can smell it.

Awad was killed with a Cobray 9mm.

You familiar with that weapon?

Moe Khoury, the guy Awad owed money to.

Well, the insurance policy should help

with the financial strain.

The victim's wife, Shahira,
did she organize this?

When they came to Canada,
they had a lot of money.

"Please stay away from Edgard Elias.

He pretends to be a friend.
He's not a good man".

This was a targeted killing.

Let's get his phone records. We
need to go full steam on the guy.

Inside, I'm shaking like crazy.

Is that what a life like that
is worth to a scumbag like you?

Police!

If they couldn't get money out
of Awad when he was alive...

Maybe they could get something
out of him after he was dead.

Within this group,

someone has orchestrated this killing.

- Synced and corrected by Firefly -
- www.addic7ed.com -

There are some really...

depraved type of individuals

that will do just about
anything for money.

- I think that was true in this case.
- _

I got a call in the early hours.
There had been a shooting.

And it was a confirmed fatality.

Robbing a convenience store
in Hamilton is a typical crime,

but nothing of this nature.

This is not something
that happens down there.

The shooter left the
store, leaving a witness.

My partner, Doug Langdon,
was speaking with the witness

that was still on scene.

All right, Mr. Yousf,
take me through it again.

He had just witnessed something

that was so terrible, so horrible:

an individual walking into the store

and brazenly shooting
his colleague dead,

and he's out the door
and he's on the run.

I remember the inside of that store

like it was yesterday.

There was a large quantity of blood

where the victim was found.

There's definitely an odd smell,

a metallic smell, when
there is a lot of blood.

I was taken aback by the
violence that took place there.

The guy, he's come in.

- He had a gun, a big gun.
- What kind of gun?

Machine gun, like you see in the movies.

H-he had gloves. He was wearing gloves.

The suspect walked in.

And he said: "This is a robbery".

And they immediately took
the cash register till out

and laid it on the counter.

The guy reaches into the till,

and he grabs a handful of
cash, puts it into his pocket.

There was nothing to stop him

from taking another
handful or two handfuls out,

and he didn't do that.

Then he motioned to our victim.

And without warning,
he opened fire on him.

He shot him.

He shot Awad,

again and again.

And what happened next?

Then he put...

Then he point the gun at me.

After he watched
the victim, being shot...

Yousf Yousf felt he was next.

Yousf is still standing
there with his hands up.

And the shooter turns
and leaves the store.

Doesn't say anything,

and he just leaves the store.

Yousf Yousf described
the shooter as about 6'2",

170 to 180 pounds.

He's masked from the eyes down.

I could see his eyes.

Blue eyes.

Light hair. And, uh...

Listen, you're doing
really good, all right?

I just need you to just take a moment

and think of anything
else you can tell me

about the shooter, anything.

- No, no. I don't know.
- What about his voice?

Did he have an accent,
anything like that?

No, no. I can't remember.

Poor Awad!

Well, thank you, Mr. Yousf.

Yousf Yousf's level of shock

swayed our opinion more towards the fact

that he wasn't involved in this.

He was genuinely upset.

And you could tell, this
was very disturbing to him.

What do we have?

The victim name is Awad Abdalla, 39.

He was working his
last shift at the store,

training the new guy.

Oh, hell!

The other clerk's name is Yousf.

First day on the job.
He's gotta live with this.

- How's he doing?
- He's in shock.

I wasn't able to get much out
of him other than the basics.

Poor guy got shot 4
times, twice in the head,

twice in the chest.

There's still money in the till.

The guy took less than $200.

We get the security footage yet?

No, they're locked up.

We're waiting on the owner.

Let's get a canine on the way.

Damn.

The canine tracked from the front door,

down along the side of the building,

and he got to the area of a dumpster.

Doug!

The gun's lying in there right
on top of all the garbage.

It was an Uzi-style gun
as the witness described.

And I'd never seen anything
like that in the Hamilton area.

Who discards a gun like
that? It's fairly expensive.

On the street, it would
be worth a lot of money.

And to just have it laying
in the dumpster there

was very odd.

We got a shoe print.

This was a fresh print.
This belonged to the shooter.

The track continued on.

It stopped directly at
the sidewalk at the street.

I guess the trail ends here.

In cases where it ends abruptly,

there's a good chance

that people have gotten
into a car and fled.

The idea of this being a regular robbery

was not really being considered anymore.

We knew at this time

that it was something bigger than that.

Night clerk Awad Abdalla

was shot several times

by a masked man armed
with a 9mm handgun.

It was the victim's
last night on the job.

He was training his replacement,

who witnessed the shooting.

Although some cash was stolen,

police are hinting

this may have been more
than a simple robbery.

This shooter meant to kill that person.

This wasn't some random act
of excitement or a mistake.

This was a targeted killing,

a hit, so to speak.

There was a surveillance
camera, and it was operational.

This was very crucial for us.

So, we made arrangements that morning

to have the owner come in
and retrieve the tape for us.

Play it from here.

The anxiety level is high.

Emotions are running high,

because we know we were gonna
watch somebody get killed.

We're sitting there watching the tape,

and the room was quiet.

Emotions are running high,

because we know we're about
to watch somebody get killed.

What just happened?
Did the machine just break?

Yeah, I'll rewind it a bit.

Oh, it's not the machine. It's the tape.

Fast forward.

Nothing.

We don't have the crime on tape.

I mean, the tape stopped.
It had run out.

It wasn't changed the previous night

like it was supposed to be.

It was a big let-down.

And it was a kick in the
gut for our investigation,

because we thought we had something,

and there was nothing there.

Our victim is Awad
Abdalla, 39 years old,

father of four.

Four kids. Goddammit!

He was a Palestinian, born in Jordan.

He lived in Kuwait with his family,

where he worked as an accountant.

They all immigrated to the US in 1985

and came here a year later.

And they moved to Montreal first.

That's right.

Awad's wife, Shahira,

still lives in Montreal with the kids.

They separated a few years ago.

Mr. Abdalla moved to
Ontario to find employment.

And on the night of the murder,

he was spending his
last night at that store.

And he was prepared to leave

to go to another job the next day.

Where are we on the gun?

It's a Cobray 9mm.
You're right, expensive.

Serial number?

No, they filed it off.

The car in the lot, that was Awad's?

Yeah, we just had it
brought over for the search.

All right, I'll go check it out.

- Thanks, guys.
- Copy that.

Our impression of Mr. Abdalla

was someone that was hardworking,

coming into Canada,
wanting to better himself,

wanting to better his family situation.

He had 4 children,

ages 10 years and down
to a year and a half.

When we searched in
Mr. Abdalla's vehicle,

we found a briefcase.

And in that briefcase,

we recovered some handwritten letters.

They were in Arabic.

And we had no Arabic-speaking officers.

We had to get them translated.

And then, we found
an insurance policy...

taken out 2 months before the homicide.

And it was for a considerable amount.

The beneficiary was Shahira, his wife.

The first thing we think of
is that she's organized this.

We needed to know as much as
we can about the relationship

between Awad and his wife.

We want to speak to
Rasha, Awad's sister,

who he was living with.

She was probably the one
that would know him the best.

They lost almost everything.

When they came to
Canada, they had money,

a lot of money.

- But he lost it all.
- How?

Bad investments, bad businesses,

some of the people who were around him,

giving him advice.

Before he knew it,
all the money was gone.

And his restaurant took the last of it.

Which restaurant was that?

It was called Layali.

It closed down almost
right after it opened.

And then they had nothing left.

I don't know exactly how much
money he brought to Canada,

but I know it was substantial.

He opened up several businesses.
And these businesses failed.

He lost all his money.

Hmm.

Well, their finances must
have put a lot of strain

on the relationship.

It was tough.

It pushed them apart. So Awad moved out.

And Shahira stayed behind with the kids?

Yeah, but Awad wasn't running away.

He wanted to start over,

get a second chance

and get away from some of
those people around him,

make some money, so he can
provide for his family again

and start fresh with Shahira.

She painted a picture of
the relationship as rocky

to the point that Rasha felt

that Shahira was
possibly having an affair

with a guy called Edgard Elias.

Looks like most of Awad's debt

came from the restaurant
Rasha told you about, Layali.

- Any large amounts?
- No, nothing significant.

I mean, he's got a lot
of different creditors,

vendors mostly, painters,
contractors, but, uh...

Who's the letter from?

It's from Awad, meant
for his wife, Shahira.

Mostly, he talks about trying
to get the family back together,

making things what they used to be.

He mentions how hard he's working

just trying to make up for everything.

What?

Here, Awad says:

"Please stay away from Edgard Elias.

He pretends to be a friend.
He's not a good man".

It was clear from the letter

that Awad did not like Edgard Elias.

He suspected that Edgard was
being forward with Shahira...

which, again, raised our suspicions.

It was a necessity to go
speak with Shahira in Montreal.

Shahira was a stay-at-home mom.

She spent her time
looking after her kids,

lived a very conservative lifestyle.

The marriage was strained,
but it's still a loss.

I'm so sorry for your loss.

Thank you, detective.

We've been struggling so long.

Now without Awad,

it's just been so hard.

Well, the insurance policy should help

with the financial strain.

Uh...

Were you not aware of the policy

that was taken out recently?

Yes, I... I just forgot.

She insisted it was Awad's idea

to have this policy
in place for the kids.

He always wanted to make sure
the kids were looked after.

It's quite a significant amount.

Awad had so many debts,

so many people coming
around looking for money.

People?

People who lent him money.

People who did work on the restaurant.

They kept coming around.
That's why he left Montreal.

Because he didn't want to pay them.

He couldn't. We just
didn't have the money.

Of course.

Um, was there... was there
anyone who came by frequently?

There was this one man, Moe Khoury.

Awad owed him money for some tiles

or something for the restaurant.

He came by a few times.

Did he ever threaten Awad?

No, but he came around a lot.

It bothered Awad.

It was very difficult...

coming to this country,
losing everything.

He was working so hard
to try and fix everything.

I don't know what would
have happened, but...

I just can't believe he's gone.

She was obviously upset.

But she was also the
beneficiary on the insurance.

We had to consider this

as being a motive for the killing.

If you think of anything,
please give me a call.

Edgard, this is the detective
working on Awad's case.

- Steve Kovach.
- Edgard Elias.

Edgard Elias, the guy
Awad was suspicious of.

"Please stay away from Elias.
He pretends to be a friend.

He's not a good man".

It was a big red flag,

taking everything into consideration.

Edgard is a family friend.

He comes back to check up on
us, see if we need anything.

I still can't understand
how this happened.

Awad was, uh, such a kind man.

- You were very close.
- Awad was a friend.

When Awad started the restaurant,

Edgard introduced him to
people, made connections.

He's a good man.

My condolences.

There was nothing to indicate

that there was anything really going on.

But when you got a guy coming over

and, you know, he has dinner
and he frequents the house,

it's just not good.

We were suspicious of Edgard Elias

and his frequent contact with Shahira

and frequent visits.

We were going to be
looking at Edgard Elias

possibly involved in this somehow.

- Can I get you something?
- I'm good.

Well, thanks for coming in, Edgard.

I still can't believe it.

They killed a man for
what, a few hundred dollars?

Yeah, perhaps. We're still
looking at every possibility.

We understand that Awad was, um,

well, he had a lot of
businesses that went under.

He owed a lot of people money?

Yes, perhaps, but he
was working on that.

You see, we have a very small community,

where everybody knows everybody else.

So if he owed money,

I'm sure they would have
given him the time he needed

to pay it back.

How did you get to know the family?

I think I did some translation
work for Awad and Shahira

for some business documents.

You could describe Edgard
as a bit of a fixer.

I'm looking at an operator,

you know, this guy that's always
got a big wad of cash on him.

And he'd tell you
anything to make a buck.

Or he'd do anything

and turn around and
do something different.

And, uh, how well would
you say you knew Awad?

Fairly well.

But I had nothing to
do with his businesses,

if that's what you're asking.

I might have introduced him

to a vendor here, a partner there,

but I didn't have much to do
with his financial dealings.

Edgard was deceptive,

being very careful in what he said

and not divulging a
whole lot of information.

And Shahira, after
Shahira and Awad separated,

how often would you see her?

Detective, Shahira is my friend,

as was Awad.

Just that, friends.

You know somebody is a
bullshitter when you see him.

He would come across
as your best friend,

but he probably turned out

to be your worst enemy at the same time.

Edgard maintains he's
just a family friend.

He was in the food industry too,

but we couldn't find any record

of direct business dealings
between him and Awad.

Well, that lines up with
what Shahira told you.

What's your sense of her?

She was genuinely torn
up about Awad's death.

I mean, you don't think that...

Look, they move to a new country,

lose everything, Awad moves out.

You don't think that would
leave her a bit angry, bitter?

I mean, she stood to gain a
lot of insurance money, right?

Maybe.

When we take a hard look

at what the motive for this
shooting, this execution, was,

the bottom line is money.

Let's focus on the financial side.

Shahira mentioned a Moe Khoury
was after Awad for payments.

What do we know about him?

Khoury is a contractor.

He did some work for
the Layali restaurant.

Seems Awad owed him about $15,000.

Paid off about $5,000 of
that by the time he left.

$10,000. Is that enough
to kill someone over?

Detective Kovach.

Thank you.

That was forensics.

- They finished examining the gun.
- And?

Seemed whoever filed
the serial number off

didn't get it all.

We were gonna look at that gun,

where it was purchased.

And, hopefully, we'd be able
to trace it back to our shooter.

We learned that the gun was purchased

down in Lawrence, Massachusetts.

Detective Steve Kovach.
Appreciate the assistance.

Hey! Mark. Happy to help.

This is my neighbourhood.

Come on, I know the owner.

Yeah, I remember the Cobray.

We don't get too many
of these around here.

Do you remember who bought it?

Well, no.

A lot of people come in and out of here.

It's busy, especially
during hunting seasons.

Of course, yeah.

You keep records, though, right?

Yeah, it's required by law.

I'll go check the books, of course.

Thank you.

Detective, are you talking
about the Cobray 9mm,

the one that looks like an Uzi?

Yeah.

I think I was here when it was sold.

You're kidding.

I was buying ammunition for a
hunting trip with some buddies.

I remember there was 2 guys here.

One of them got my attention.

He wasn't the one who bought
the gun, you understand,

but he seemed very familiar
with handling a firearm.

He was testing a Glock 9,

and he racked the slide back like that.

I tried doing it when I got
back to the station. I couldn't.

So I filed a report just in case.

Quite coincidently, the
Massachusetts police officer

was in the store when
that gun was purchased.

Can I get a copy of the report?

Of course. I'll fax it to you,
when I get back to the station.

Found it.

Antoine Joseph, a
Massachusetts resident.

Antoine Joseph. Thank you.

Good luck.

We're gonna track that gun now.

We want to find the fellow

that purchased the gun, Antoine Joseph.

That's him. That's the
guy who bought the gun.

Antoine Joseph?

- Yeah?
- Detective Kovach.

We're wondering if we can
ask you a few questions.

What's this about?

It's about a Cobray M11 9mm pistol.

Did you purchase one from
Mass Weapons gun shop?

I buy a lot of firearms, detective.

I'm a bit of a collector.

I'm not sure I remember
exactly where I bought them all,

or even if I sold one or two.

Uh-huh. We have a
record of the purchase.

We know you bought it.

It's essential you give us

accurate information, Mr. Joseph,

considering the weapon you purchased

was involved in a homicide.

Uh, yeah, yeah. I...
I remember the weapon.

It was stolen shortly after I got it.

- Stolen?
- I had a burglary.

Uh-huh. I take it you
filed a police report?

"Okay, when did you report it?
When was it stolen?"

He doesn't really recall,

and he never made any police report,

which in itself stinks.

It's unbelievable.

Was anyone with you when
you purchased the weapon?

I... I'm not sure I
can remember, detective.

It was a while ago.

I remember. I was there
when you bought it.

Well, I... I might have been
there with my friend, Moe.

Moe...

Moe Khoury from Montreal.

Moe Khoury. It wasn't the
first time we had heard of him.

There was this one man, Moe Khoury.

The guy Awad owed money to.

Back in Hamilton, the
first thing we want to do

is find out if Antoine
Joseph could be the shooter.

Yousf saw the shooter.

He was masked from the eyes down.

So Yousf Yousf could see his eyes

and across the bridge of his nose.

No.

Yousf couldn't identify Antoine Jospeh

in a photo lineup.

We were gonna continue
our investigation.

We were gonna look hard at Moe Khoury.

He was the best suspect.

And he was a guy we were
gonna spend our time on.

We have to go where
the evidence takes us.

And at that point, we're at Moe Khoury.

Moe Khoury is there when
the gun is purchased.

We have Moe Khoury showing
up at Shahira's house,

looking for money.

It's obvious now that Moe Khoury
is involved in the killing.

- You know why you're here?
- No idea.

Why don't you tell
me about Awad Abdalla?

I did some work for
him at his restaurant.

Mm-hmm.

- Which he never paid you for.
- No, he paid me some.

The rest was coming, I'm sure.

Awad was such a good man.

Was? So you know he's dead.

Yes, a tragedy.

Awad was killed with a Cobray 9mm.

You familiar with that weapon?

I'm afraid I'm not much of a gun expert.

We have a witness,

says you seem quite
at ease with firearms.

Lawrence, Massachusetts.
Mass Weapons gun shop.

That ring a bell?

We had the privilege of speaking
to your friend Antoine Joseph.

Ah! Yes, yes.

I might have been there
when I was visiting Antoine,

but I didn't buy any guns.

I hope your witness told you that.

He admitted to being there
when the gun is purchased,

but that was the end of it.

We had no grounds to hold him,

and I think he knew it.

And in the end, he was allowed to leave.

Khoury was there when
the gun was purchased.

He was after Awad for money.
We can't just back off.

He's involved.

So let's get his phone records.

We need to go full steam on the guy.

We'll do a search warrant
on Moe Khoury's phone number.

Who does he talk to?

Who was making phone calls to who?

We wanted to connect the dots.

We wanted to find out the
connection between these people.

We identified certain phone numbers

that were frequently called by him.

And we started branching
out into those phone numbers.

I don't see a pattern. Do you?

Let's get the top 25
numbers Khoury called.

Get warrants on all of them.
Pull all their phone records.

Then we'll see if there's a pattern.

Those warrants are gonna take some time.

Then we should get started right away.

Langdon and I spent two weeks

collecting mainly cell phone numbers,

some landlines in Montreal.

And we were able to identify
several phone numbers,

one of them being Edgard
Elias's phone number,

and one particular number

belonging to a guy by the
name of Maurice Mourad.

We see that Moe Khoury is
talking to Maurice Mourad a lot.

And his association with
Moe Khoury and Edgard Elias

makes him now a person
of interest to us.

Doug?

Can you come take a look at this for me,

make sure I'm not seeing things?

You have a connection
now between Moe Khoury...

Edgard Elias...

and Maurice Mourad.

Within this group, someone
has orchestrated this killing.

What am I looking at?

These are Maurice
Mourad's phone records.

Around the date of the
murder, November 30th,

he makes 9 phone calls from
10:00 p.m., November 29th,

to 8:00 a.m. the next morning.

10:00 p.m. coordinates are 46'75".

That's, uh, Montreal.

Time of the murder, 80'43".

Hamilton.

8:00 a.m., 46'75", Montreal.

Maurice Mourad.

Maurice Mourad's phone had
travelled right into Hamilton

on the night of the murder.

And you could follow the track
all the way back to Montreal.

Hey, Steve!

- Find Mourad?
- Nothing left to find.

- This is Mourad's place?
- Was.

The explosion in the apartment

nearly took out the whole building.

Mourad is dead.

When did this happen?

- Late May.
- After Awad was killed.

Either somebody took him
out or he took himself out.

That's what I thought,

but the fire marshal already confirmed

there's no sign of foul play.

This was an accident.

Maurice Mourad was dead.
It was an accident.

This was a really important
piece of the puzzle

that we'd lost.

How are we doing with the warrants

of the numbers Mourad called
the night of the murder?

Uh, we're still waiting on a few,

but here's what we got so far.

Take a look at this number right here.

That's 9 minutes after Awad was shot.

Yeah, this number is registered

to a woman by the name of
Kathy Gaynor in London, Ontario.

Any criminal record?

No, we don't have anything on her.

I want to speak to Gaynor myself.

- Can you get an address?
- Yeah.

This was a make-it-or-break-it point.

If Maurice Mourad
wasn't using that phone,

there was somebody with him that was.

It could be the shooter.

Ms. Gaynor, Detective
Kovach, Hamilton Police.

Is everything okay? What's going on?

Everything's fine, ma'am.

I wanted to ask you a couple of
questions, if you don't mind.

About what?

Do you remember receiving a phone call

in the early hours of November 30th?

November 30th? I...
I don't really remember.

It would have been around 4:00 a.m.

4:00 a.m. Yeah.

Yeah, my boyfriend called, woke me up.

Well, my ex-boyfriend.

His name is, uh, Shawn
Jeffries. He lives in Montreal.

Do you know a Maurice Mourad?

I never heard of him.

Your boyfriend, Shawn, called you
that morning. You sure about that?

Yeah, I don't get a ton of
4:00 a.m. phone calls, so...

Yeah.

Do you remember what he wanted?

He just said he was
coming by in a few days.

I don't know why he had to
tell me at 4:00 in the morning.

Yeah.

Do you have a picture
of Shawn by any chance?

- Uh, yeah. Come on in.
- Thank you.

Inside, I'm shaking like crazy.

He had blue eyes, light
hair, maybe 6 feet tall.

There was no doubt with the
blue eyes and the blond hair

that this is the guy.

I was satisfied that he was our shooter.

He said he was gonna come visit, did he?

Uh, yeah.

Yeah, he, uh, stopped
by a few weeks later,

brought some cash.

Cash?

Yeah, Shawn was always broke,

and he owed a ton of people money,

but he came across $2,800.

Asked me to hold onto it for
him so he didn't spend it.

Did he tell you where he got it?

I really don't remember.

What did you do with the money?

I just held onto it,

transferred it to his
account after a while.

Right, do you know where he is now?

I'm assuming back in Montreal.

I haven't heard from him in a while.

Do you have an address?

Uh, yeah. Yeah, I can get it for you.

Do you mind if I hold onto this?

Sure.

Shawn Jeffries. Who is Shawn Jeffries?

We have somebody who never had any money

turning over almost $3,000 to a girl

to be put into her bank account.

We have him making a phone call

within 5 kilometres of the murder scene.

He's matching the description

with his height, his weight, his hair.

Jeffries had to be the shooter.

All the pieces are
starting to fall into place.

How does Shawn Jeffries
become involved in this?

What is he to all this group?

We were onto our actual shooter.

I told you, I had nothing
to do with any murder.

I don't even know that guy.

Well, you were in
Hamilton that night, right?

I don't know who told you that.

We don't need anybody
to tell us that, Shawn.

We got cell phone records that place you

in many spots between Hamilton
and Montreal the night of the shooting.

I don't have a cell phone!

Maurice Mourad does.

You used it to call your
girlfriend in London, Ontario,

9 minutes after the murder.

We got an eyewitness who
described the shooter,

a description that sounds
an awful lot like you.

You said you don't know the guy, right?

So you don't know he had 4 kids?

You don't know that he
was working overnights

away from his family

just trying to give
his kids a better life?

You took it all away for what?

For $2,000?

Is that what a life like that
is worth to a scumbag like you?

I didn't know anything about him, okay?

Afterward, I couldn't think,

I couldn't sleep.

I was in a nightmare.

The evidence was there,
and it was against him.

He just admitted he was our shooter.

But the person that
actually pulls the trigger,

that's the easy one to get,

because that's the one
that's leaving the evidence.

Obviously, he was paid to do this.

That person that
contracted this killing,

that's the one that we want.

Who paid you?

- I don't... I don't...
- Who?

Mourad, okay? It was Mourad.

How did you meet him?

I used to work at a sports club.

He'd come by a lot. We got to talking.

He knew I needed money.

- Why'd he want Awad dead?
- He didn't.

Someone was paying him.

He was just, like, a... a middleman.

- For who?
- I don't know.

- For who?
- I don't know!

If I knew, I would tell you.

I swear.

Shawn was paid directly
by Maurice Mourad.

Shawn had no knowledge
any further up the ladder

than Maurice Mourad.

He knows that Maurice

was working on behalf of somebody else.

But there was never any
indication of who it was.

We know Maurice Mourad
was connected to Moe Khoury

who was after Awad for money.

So he was killed over his debt.

- Over $10,000?
- I don't think so.

Or maybe they wanted to
make an example of him.

To who? For what?

I mean, he owed money
for tiling, contracting.

It wasn't a mob debt
or drug money, you know.

What if it was more
than $10,000 they wanted?

What do you mean?

What if they were after
the insurance money?

If they couldn't get money out
of Awad when he was alive...

Maybe they could get
something out of him

after he was dead.

I need to get back to Montreal.

The insurance money
is a very good motive

to have somebody killed.

This was a contract killing,

and there were people behind this.

Have you or Awad ever talked to anyone

about the insurance policy?

No, apart from Edgard.

Edgard Elias? He knew about it?

Of course.

He set us up with the broker.

He helped us translate when
we signed the documents.

I told you, Edgard was very helpful.

Have you seen him recently?

It's been a little while, I think.

Thanks for your time.
I'll let myself out.

Edgard Elias was closely involved

in orchestrating this insurance policy

for her husband.

Shahira was the beneficiary.

Could she have been duped?

Could she have been taken advantage of?

I really believe that.

Go! Police!

- He's gone.
- Goddammit!

Edgard Elias slipped
through our fingers.

We were certain Moe Khoury
was involved somehow.

But in order for us to
proceed against Moe Khoury,

we would have had to have
a confession out of him,

because there was no evidence whatsoever

that he was involved.

And he was no use to us at all.

We learned that Edgard
Elias has left the country.

Throughout our investigation,
we looked at Shahira.

And there was nothing to suggest

Shahira was involved in any of this.

I think Edgard Elias
wanted to either extort

or take the money off
her at a later date,

when she was paid off.

I think she was taken advantage of.

We've contacted Interpol.
There's a chance he'll turn up.

I can't believe it.

Edgard?

How could he do this to Awad?

And now Edgard is gone.

I'm so sorry.

I promise you I'll find Elias.

Edgard Elias is still out there,

and he's still a wanted fugitive.

There's not closure.

There's not closure for
myself, for the family.

But Edgard Elias is looking
over his shoulder every day,

wondering, the next person
that walks through that door,

is that gonna be the police?

Wherever he is.
