All language subtitles for Law and Order Toronto s01e08 Boys Will Be Boys.eng

In Toronto's war on crime,

the worst offenders are
pursued by the detectives

of the specialized criminal
investigations unit.

These are their stories.

Oh, Leblanc with
a big check into the boards!

45 seconds to go

in the first overtime period.

Powell hesitates.

Powell has the puck.

Findley taking the puck in deep.

Findley scores!

Rory Findley with
the game winner!

The Scorpions are
going to Game 7!

Hey, cap,
congratulations

on your hat-trick
and the 4-3 win.

How were you able to close out
the game, Rory?

Um...

Just, you know, just outworked
'em. Dug deep. And, uh...

Kai over here put it
on a platter,

and I slammed the door.
- That's high praise

coming from your captain, Kai,
that's gotta feel good

heading into Game 7.
- Yeah, yeah. Just, um...

Gotta make him look good.
Do my part, you know?

Coach McAllister.

Your rookies are getting
pummelled this series, Coach.

Minus 12 over
the last six games.

Any thoughts on
how you'll win Game 7

if they don't show up?

They'll toughen up.
They have to.

Hey, you think
I don't know you're avoiding me?

You wanna act like a big man
after yesterday's win,

don't do it over text!

Tonight? No.
No, man. No chance.

Seriously, if I'm not
studying or skating,

I cannot go out past my curfew.

Kai, I'm coming down.

Hold on.

You need another ice pack?

Uh, no, I'm alright.

It's not a girl.
- Well...

make sure you finish all of it.
You need the electrolytes.

Okay.

Uh... You know what?
If um...

If it's good for the team,
screw it, I'm in.

Let's toughen
these rookies up!

- Kai!
- Rory.

You made it, baby!

Welcome.

What up, Kai?!

Oh, phone.

Hey, come on, come on.
Pass the bottle,

pass the bottle!

Keep it going, bro!

Bring 'em out!

You're gonna love this.

Great! Great job, rook.

You took that like a man!

T? Give him a jersey.

What did I tell you, rooks?
Okay?

You stop acting like bitches,

and we'll treat you like men.

Kai, who's next?

Um...

Oscar.

Oscar!

No, no, please, I can't do it!

- Alright, Oscar!
- Ah!

You know how this goes, right?

No screaming.
No crying. Because...?

Pussies don't win playoffs!

Alright, put him in the bag.

No, no, no, no, no, no.
No, guys, seriously.

Guys, I'm claustrophobic!
Please!

- Come on!
- No, no, no, no!

Don't do this!
Don't do this, please! Please!

I think we might have to do
this the hard way, boys.

What do you think, huh?
Let's go!

Please, please, don't!

Let's go, come on!

Let's go!
Put me down!

No, no, no, no, no! No, please!
Rory, please stop!

Have a nice trip, bro!

Yeah!

Please!

No, no! Please!

Look, I hear you.

Loud and clear. I just...

I need a little more time.

Devastating news for hockey
fans today...

...after brutal images of hazing

involving the Scarborough City
Scorpions

were released this morning.

Now players and fans alike
are asking themselves

about the future of the team
and Game 7 of the cup,

which has been put on hold.

The images released
to the public

depict various minors engaging
in graphic acts of violence

and forced drinking.

Thanks, Gemma, for hosting.

I, uh... I wanted to discuss
this privately with you

before I make
a public statement.

We've all seen the photos,

and they've been shared
to every news site in town.

So effective immediately,
our star senior players,

Kai, Mason, Jaxxon,

Peter, Cody, and Rory...

are all suspended indefinitely.
- What?!

- Until further notice.
- No, no, no. You can't do that.

- Hey, look.
- You can't do that! Alright?

It's not my call!

You can do
something about it!

If it was me,
you'd play, okay?

Not my call.

We need to talk, Coach, okay?
Outside.

Continued shock and outrage
after images of hazing

involving the Scarborough
City Scorpions

were released yesterday.

The team has just released
a public statement

deploring these acts
of violence

and suspending all
the veteran players,

including star captain
Rory Findley.

Still no word on what this means
for Game 7 in the series.

The victim's Rory Findley.

Made captain of the Scorpions
a week before his 17th birthday.

Been their top NHL prospect
ever since.

Yeah, he was slated to go
first round of the draft

before those photos leaked.

My kid thought he was a god.

Her god was into
some pretty dark things.

Well, I wonder if those
dark things led to his death.

Those rookies were beaten with
hockey sticks, weren't they?

Yeah, and this isn't
the only damage.

We found Rory's car across town.

His tire was slashed.

Thanks, Toni.

Well, I'm guessing that Rory
was standing there

with his back to the rink.
Somebody pushed him,

he fell back and cracked
his skull on the ice.

The assailant hits him
in the head

with a stick hard enough
to break the shaft.

Looks like the attack
didn't stop there.

He's got defensive wounds
on the hands.

He managed to protect himself,
at least for a little while.

Judging by the cast-off
spatter,

the assailant was frenzied,
determined, right-handed,

using Rory's own stick.

It doesn't get any more
personal than that.

This is a weapon
of opportunity,

so it may not have
been premeditated.

Maybe a rookie he hazed
looking for payback?

Maybe. So, who got it
the worst?

Rory was just trying to help.

He said we needed to get
our heads right,

toughen up, if we wanted
to win Game 7.

Oscar...

Do you think anyone would've
wanted to get back at Rory

for what he did to you?
- No.

No.

Besides, everybody knew
I loved Rory.

This whole thing's
my fault, anyways.

If I had just kept quiet
like Rory said...

Hey. You know what they did
was not okay, right?

Leaking the pictures
was wrong.

Everything would've been fine
if that hadn't happened.

Do you know who took
the photos?

No.

Rory locked up our phones

as soon as we walked
in the suite.

Sorry.

I'm Gemma Dubicki,
I'm one of the team moms.

I'm Detective Bateman.

Whose mom are you?
- Kai's.

We wanted to come by
and check in on Oscar.

I made some protein bars,

and brought you some magazines.
Just while you're stuck in here.

You think Oscar needs
some magazines, Gemma?

Lacerated liver,
two broken ribs,

seizures from alcohol poisoning.

Tossed on our front lawn
like trash.

You know what?
Why don't we step outside?

I just talked to your parents,
they just landed.

They'll be here very soon.

Elmore,
from our conversation earlier,

I gleaned that you take your job
as a host dad very seriously.

While Oscar's under your roof,

he's your responsibility.

So I have to ask...

where were you on Sunday night?

I was sitting right here
with Oscar,

wishing I had the balls to kill

the son of a bitch
who hurt him.

You should be arresting
every kid on that team,

starting with hers.

The only reason Kai was there
that night

was because Rory
talked him into it.

Well, I can understand
if you're angry.

I mean, Rory ropes you
into doing something

that ruins your career?
- His career is not ruined.

It was Rory's fault.
- No, it wasn't.

It's not Rory's fault.
We all did this, together.

And I wasn't mad at Rory.
I... I looked up to him.

He was a player
that I wanted to be.

We all worshiped Rory.

Do you think
any of the players

might've changed their feelings
about Rory after the hazing?

I don't know.

None of us have had our phones.

We've all been grounded
since the hazing.

Kai was right.

We checked with all
the billet families.

Each of the suspended
star players was grounded after the incident.

Yeah, at the time
of the death,

which da Silva places
around 10 p.m. to 1 a.m.,

all the boys were accounted for.

Look, I don't know.
The idea that these kids

have to move in with
a strange family

in a strange city just
to chase their dreams,

that seems like a recipe
for disaster to me.

Especially if the billet
families are profiting.

They make 500 bucks a month
to keep these kids clean,

safe, and out of trouble.

Ah, they're not all bad.

Elmore's very dedicated
to Oscar.

Dedicated enough
to kill his bully?

You know, Oscar's nurse
confirms that Elmore was

at the hospital
the entire night.

Okay, so, if the whole team
and Elmore,

they all have alibis,
then who killed Rory Findley?

Maybe these photos will
tell us something.

It's strange, though,
they're all so grainy, look.

Yeah. I mean, these days,

most cellphones have good
lowlight capabilities.

Maybe they weren't taken
with a cellphone.

They weren't.

The hazing photos were taken
with a smartwatch.

- Do you know whose?
- No.

But if you find me the watch,
I'll match it to the metadata.

Thank you, Mark.

What if we've been looking
at this all wrong?

What if Rory found out
who took the photos,

confronted them,
got in a fight...

And the shutterbug
fought back.

Then y'all need to get out
of my office

and go to talk to the coach,
because I have an appointment.

Hello, thank you for coming!

Inspector.

I have no idea
who took those photos.

Do you think Rory knew?
Maybe found out somehow?

Rory didn't have much time
for investigation, Detective.

He was all about the game.

Outworked everyone.

You'd call a practice 7 a.m.,
he'd be here at 6.

Just an endless tank of energy,
that kid.

He worked the whole ice.

Took pride in making
everyone around him better.

Me included.

Just...

never wanted
to disappoint anyone.

You know, his mom never got
to see him play at this level.

She died three years ago
of cancer.

He never had a dad.

He loved this team.

This team loved him.

Even Oscar. Even now.

I can't help thinking
I could have stopped this.

If I'd just been here
that night. I...

Normally, I'm here,
I'm here 9, 9:30,

doing the line-up,

but I didn't stay late
that night.

I had to go meet with the GM
to discuss this whole mess.

If I'd just been here,
maybe I would've seen something.

I could've done something.

Do you have any idea who
might've wanted to hurt Rory?

No.
Coach, you got a call.

Just a minute.

One thing I do know after
30 years on the ice, Detective...

Someone goes after
a teenage boy,

99% of the time...

it's another teenage boy.

I gotta go.

Thanks.

What's your read?

- He seems genuine.
- He seems something.

Oh, excuse me.
- Yes?

I was wondering if you could
help me out with something?

I got a buddy who's a big fan.

And I'd like to get
a photo out on the ice.

Give me your phone.

Oh, no, I was hoping
we could use your watch.

Fedor Makerov.
Former star forward,

now injured,
and the team's towel boy.

What was your role
in the hazing?

I brought the beer
to the hotel,

and then I go home.
That's all.

And if you want my watch,
you need a warrant.

Well, legally, we can seize
that from you right now,

but you also just admitted

to supplying alcohol to minors,
Fedor.

And given that the victims
in those photos,

they're under 18,
and with the lingerie,

and the sexually
implicit posing,

a judge might find that
you captured

and distributed
child pornography.

No. You... you cannot
do that to me.

Oh, we can.

Yes, I took the photos
and I made them public,

but only because I'm sick
of watching them get away with everything.

I love playing hockey.
I'd be playing...

I'd be playing right now
if I had not blown my knee. - I don't care.

What are they
getting away with, Fedor?

Forcing with alcohol and...

shaving eyebrows is one thing.

But they put players
in women's underwear,

they throw them over
the stairwell in a hockey bag?

I didn't leave Russia for this.

The night of Rory's murder,
where were you?

I was nowhere near the arena.

That's not what
she asked you.

I was with another player.
Different team.

I spent the night with him.
- We're gonna need his name.

Only if you swear not to
speak of it outside this room.

If you do, my career is over,

and so is his.

We'll be discreet.

So...

Had you noticed any
changes in, uh...

Rory's behaviour
leading up to his death?

Was he fighting with the other
players? His coach? The staff?

When I first joined this team,
Rory was a good captain.

But not anymore?

Now he's stronger on the ice,

but he's weaker in his head.

Cheap shots into the boards,

yelling, fighting
all the time.

Blood work confirms he had
amphetamines in his system.

Fedor said he was more
out of control than usual.

A player on speed
explains a lot.

They couldn't be easier
to get.

I bet half the kids at
his high school are taking ADHD medication,

either legitimately
or recreationally.

But that is not the worst
of Rory's problems.

Healed fractures
of the clavicle, ribs,

wrists, ankles, patella,
fingers, and skull.

In layman's terms,
the boy was a mess.

Not to be harsh, but doesn't
that come with the territory?

Not to this extent.

The amount of injuries
this kid had?

Playing through the pain
is one thing,

but this is beyond the pale.

But anything he would have
been taking for pain

would have slowed him down,
affected his game,

so he used speed
to power through.

Rory would've been in agony
every time he hit the ice.

Well, Coach said that he never
wanted to let anyone down.

Maybe that's what motivated him
to play through this.

Yeah, there are a lot
of adults who rely on these kids

to, uh... make it
to the big leagues.

I wonder who was
banking on Rory.

Coach Mac...

You have to speak to the league
commissioner about Kai.

He does not deserve
this suspension.

Is Oscar cleared
for Game 7? Is there even gonna be a Game 7?

I got a lot of scouts
on the books for that game.

Gotta think about
the kid's future.

Shame on you!

Rory's not even
in the ground yet,

and here you are slithering
around for more clients?

You know what, Gemma?

Why don't you worry
about your own son?

Enough! A boy is dead.

One of our own.

I don't care what mistakes
he made in his life, but he...

he didn't deserve
to die for them.

So, if your selfish needs
are more important than that,

Gemma got it half right.

Shame.

On all of you.

Excuse me.

It's an unbelievable tragedy.

Rory was top of my roster
four years now.

We were like family.
- Yeah, a very lucrative family.

I mean, right after Game 6,
Rory was all over social media

talking about his new
Bauer sponsorship.

That's rarified air
for a player so young.

What was included in that deal?

Was it strictly merchandising,

or did you negotiate
an overall profit share?

I'm not at liberty to say.

You can't say because
you don't know, Mr. Rizzo.

Gee, the young go-getters
down at Westfield Management,

well, they seem to think that
they got Rory that Bauer deal

when he fired you,
after his last game

and signed with them.
Ring a bell?

You were with Rory from
the time he was 14 years old,

and then he dumps you
right before the big show?

That's the name of the game.

I went all-in on Rory,
and it didn't buy his loyalty.

Paid for private tutors,
dieticians, his car...

And doctors to greenlight him
to get back out on the ice

even though he was
falling apart?

Yeah, we spoke to
the physician you paid

to give Rory
a clean bill of health.

Stock his medicine cabinet
full of amphetamines.

Keep him on the ice.
- Rory asked for those things.

I didn't force him
to do anything.

But you paid for it.
Must've hurt when he fired you.

You wouldn't see a return
on your investment.

It did, yeah.

But I took it out
on the car, not the kid.

And even though he fired me
over text,

I slashed Rory's tire, okay?

I'm not proud of it,
but I didn't kill him.

Well, you had the means,
the motive, and the opportunity.

Too bad I was watching
the Leafs game with my neighbour

at the pub around the corner.
We stayed 'til close.

Here.

Give him a call.
He'll tell you.

I found some new intel.

Most Valuable Billets.
That's humble.

Marigold and Craig Duffy,
Rory Findley's billet parents.

Oh, 300,000 subscribers.

What were they
subscribing to?

Well, this account was
suspended two days ago,

but I used an archive
to retrieve this.

Thank you, Mav Muscle,
for gifting Rory

this amazing home gym.

Yeah, with a 500-pound
capacity and a slam proof cable system,

it is the perfect way for Rory
to get in some much-needed reps,

before heading off
to high school.

Show 'em, Rory.
- Hey, if you've got a future

first-rounder
at home like we do,

set them up for success

with the entire line of
Mav Muscle home systems.

Order now,
and use the code MVB.

That's right, MVB,
and don't forget to click on that subscribe button.

Hmm, you had to watch this

more than twice?

Nutritional supplements,

athletic gear, appliances...

Rory was making these two
a lot of money.

As a future first-round
draft pick, sure.

But as a player at the forefront
of a hazing scandal?

Not so sure.

- You said the account was
suspended two days ago? - Yeah.

So, that was the day
the photos were leaked.

If I'd built an entire brand,
and lucrative lifestyle

around how talented
that kid was,

and he threw it all away...

I'd be pretty angry.

Craig and I were home
all night, strategizing,

trying to figure out
what to do

after our account was suspended.

So let me get this straight.

On the night Rory was killed,

the day after his dream of
playing in the NHL was quashed,

you and your husband
were at home worrying about your bank account.

We didn't know he was
going to be murdered.

So, Mrs. Duffy, what do you
know about the day Rory died?

Did he say anything,
did he go anywhere?

Anything at all.

S... So, billet parents
have to account

for the players in their care.

We... installed an app
on his phone,

to track him.

The avatars are for each person
in our family.

So, you and your husband
were home Sunday night.

At least your phones were.

Uh, Rory went straight
from the team meeting,

to your home, to the arena
with no stops in between.

Did Rory know
he was being tracked?

- No.
- Can you bring up the schedule

for the past few days?
His schedule. Rory's.

Just before
the Uptown Suites,

he was at Pirate Pete's.

Why would he go there?

Screaming twins at table 4.

Birthday party for
a nine-year-old

and six of his annoying
little friends at table 2.

And that dead hockey hottie
came through for like a minute.

His name was Rory Findley.

Yeah, him. It looked like
he was waiting for someone.

Okay? He ordered some pizza,

played some video games,
and then took off.

Did he talk to anyone
before he left?

No, but I did follow him out
to ask for a selfie

'cause nobody famous
ever comes in here.

Yeah, sure.
He was a celebrity.

Did you, uh...
end up getting that selfie?

Nah...

But I did see him hooking up
with some old guy.

Like your kind of old,
not nursing home old.

Oh, that's sweet of you. Um...

What made you think
he was hooking up?

The old guy gave him
some sort of key card.

Like, to a hotel room.

Well, you got a good memory.

Do you remember
what it looked like?

Mmm...

It was sparkly and black.

Had gold writing on it.

- Like this?
- Yeah, that's it.

The Uptown Suites Hotel, then.

Just, uh, one more thing.

Stop me if you see the old guy.

Sarah! Yeah, you gotta
take your sister with you!

Oh, that's him.

Yeah, that's him.

- Coach McAllister?
- Yeah, I guess.

Commissioner, sir, look,
we have to play Game 7.

We earned this.

Look, the other players deserve
to see this through.

Come on, Adam, please.

Look, I'm begging you.

Okay.

Standing by.

Time is up, Coach.

I'm tired of picking up towels.

Not now, Fedor.

We made deal.

I did my job with the photos.

Oh, I think you did a little
bit more than what I asked for.

Ah, so what?

You want to keep your name
out of press?

I start my new job
with the team tomorrow.

Now is not the time.

Are we sure
there was nothing sexual

going on between the coach
and the victim?

Mark checked
the security footage.

Coach McAllister never made it
beyond the front desk.

Well, that's one piece
of good news.

So then, why did he book them
a hotel room?

So, Rory told Oscar

they'd win if they crawled
through the mud together.

What if that message
didn't come from Rory?

What if it came through Rory?

From Coach McAllister.

He thought that the hazing
would put the fear of God

into his rookies
and toughen them up,

but then Fedor took the photos
and leaked them.

Yeah.
So he threw his team, and Rory in particular,

under the bus
to save his own ass.

Coach said he was often
at the arena late doing work.

Rory would know that.

Maybe Rory went to the arena

to confront Coach after
the meeting at Gemma Dubicki's.

Did you talk to the GM?
- Yeah, the GM confirms

that he and the coach had
a meeting between 10:30 p.m.

and 1 in the morning.
So, where was he at 10 p.m.?

After Gemma's?

If you can prove that
he was at the arena,

we'll have something
to show Forrester.

I have no idea if the coach
was at the arena or not.

The cameras are off
from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m.

What's security
saying about it?

They have no idea
what's going on.

We're looking into it.

So, I did a sweep for
security cameras

within a two-block radius
and asked for their footage.

And, voilà.

That's the coach's
truck on the left.

He said after the meeting
at Gemma Dubicki's house,

he went to meet his GM.

What do we got here?
Pause it.

Is that Fedor?

- Fedor...
- The towel boy

with the camera watch.

So, Coach McAllister and Fedor

were together the night
of Rory's murder.

Two minutes away
from the crime scene.

I told you, I was with
my boyfriend

the night that Rory was killed.

Yeah, we know,
we spoke to him.

- What about before?
- Before,

I met Coach near the arena.

He took me to a meeting
with Mr. Taylor, the GM,

to introduce me as new talent
scout for East Canada.

- Hmm...
- Well, that's a pretty big step up

from scrubbing jockstraps.

How'd you manage that?

I have eye for talent.

Well, then, it's a pretty good
thing Coach doesn't know

you took those photos.

Well, maybe he does.
Maybe he asked you

to take those hazing photos,
in exchange for a promotion.

It was supposed to be safe
in this country.

But my own teammates calling
rookies bitches, pussies,

beating the players that they
say don't act like real men.

It was disgusting.

Yeah, you didn't
leave Russia for this.

So, why did Coach want you
to take the photos

in the first place?

I don't know, he didn't say.

He just told me who
to take photos of.

Hang on.

Coach wanted you to take photos

of certain players
specifically?

So, Coach wanted incriminating
photos of only six players.

- Yeah, Scorpions'
starting line-up. - Mm-hmm.

Suspending your best players
is a sure-fire way to lose.

And there's only one reason

why a coach would want
to lose on purpose.

So, you were setting them up
to lose.

Look, I didn't bet
against my own team.

Okay, well, just know that
we're scanning your personal accounts,

and I'd be willing to wager
that we'll find

a significant cash withdrawal
maybe, I don't know,

a day or two before someone
placed a hefty bet

against the Scorpions.

Someone we'll connect
back to you.

You know, for the life of me,

I can't figure out
why you did it.

I mean,
I've seen your interviews.

I've seen how you are
with those boys. You care.

I know I do.

Why on earth would you
teach them how to climb,

then kick them off the cliff?

Because I'm in deep.

I have been for months.

These people I owe money to,

if I don't get square
with them, then...

...I'm dead.

They said they'd go
after my sister.

My niece.

It's just...

I don't have anything left
to leverage.

Except your team.

I didn't think Rory
would take the hazing that far.

You're a grown-up.
These are kids.

I didn't want the photos
to go public, okay?

I was just going to show them
to those six boys,

then promise to keep it quiet
from the league

as long as
they all agreed to...

get the flu for Game 7.

But Fedor, your inside man,
he leaked the photos.

He totally screwed me.
I...

I just don't know why.
- Well, turns out he had

his own axe to grind.

Coach, where were you
the night of Rory's murder?

The truth this time.

What I told you was true.

After I suspended the players,

I left Gemma's,
picked up Fedor,

took him to the GM to get him
a job talent scouting

he doesn't deserve.
What I didn't say was, uh...

as I was leaving Gemma's,

that Rory got in my face
outside.

I told him I couldn't talk,

that I'd meet him
at the arena at 10:30.

I thought he was gonna
take a swing at me.

- Did he?
- No.

I would've deserved it, but...

Kai was right there.
Grabbed him, stopped him.

I didn't show.
Couldn't face him.

So, did Kai overhear you say
you were gonna meet Rory

at the arena at 10:30?

Well...

Yeah. He was right there.

If Kai's career was torpedoed
by Rory, that's motive.

So, Rory gets here, Coach
doesn't show, but Kai does.

He confronts him,
and then a fight turns fatal?

I mean, if he could sneak
out the night of the hazing,

then he certainly could sneak
out the night of the murder.

So, Gemma is either
blissfully unaware,

or she's covering for him.

And from what I've seen,

she would do just about
anything to protect that kid.

Hey.

Do you want me to take that?
- Oh, no, I can take it.

I'm just going out.
I'm meeting the lawyer.

She's willing to take on
the appeal of your suspension.

I just have to go meet her.
- Okay, but...

shouldn't we just accept what
Coach and the league decided?

Kai... In this family,

we never give up on our dreams.

Right. Yeah.

It's time for your roadwork.

Okay. Thanks, Mom.

You don't know
for sure that Kai and Rory

were together that night.

If this is all based
on what Coach told you,

then it's hearsay
wrapped in conjecture,

and you know that.
What else you got?

Well, what about motive, right?

Kai was only at that hazing
party because of Rory.

Yeah, and now, no professional
team is gonna go near him,

even if the league does
somehow reinstate him.

So what are you doing here?
Go get a confession from Kai.

Well, I'd love to.
But he's 17, has an alibi,

and we can't talk to him
without his legal guardian present.

Yeah, and it's possible
that same guardian

is covering for him.

Theo, how do we proceed?

I don't think we can
get around her.

If you want Kai's statement,
as you both know,

you need to comply with
all the requirements set out

in the Youth Criminal
Justice Act.

Section 146-2C.

Before you speak to Kai,

he has the right
to consult counsel,

an appropriate adult--

Or a parent.
In this case, it's Gemma.

And from what I saw, the way
she was acting at the hospital,

there's no way she's gonna
let anyone else step in.

And Kai doesn't want
anyone else by his side.

Then you've got no choice.

If you want to talk to Kai about
his whereabouts that night,

Gemma goes along for the ride.

Okay, look,
If Kai did do this,

let him and Gemma know

that a confession
might go a long way.

It could keep him in youth court

instead of being tried
as an adult.

Use that if it helps you
get anywhere with them.

Kai, could you tell me if
either you or your teammates

knew that Rory was going
to be at the rink?

Yeah, yeah. I heard Rory say

he was meeting Coach
at the arena.

But... I didn't go with him.
He wouldn't let me.

Well, neither would I.
He was grounded.

We already told you.
We were here together

the night that Rory was killed.

It's a great photo
of you and Oscar.

He looks a lot different than
when I saw him at the hospital.

Look, I know
I should've stopped things

before they got that bad,

but Rory seemed so sure
that it was the only way

we were gonna toughen up
the rookies,

and the only way to win.

Yeah, but you didn't win.
You lost everything.

No, Rory lost everything.

I just got suspended.

I still have all the things
that matter to me.

I still have Mom.

I know your mom just told us,

and you've spoken
to my colleagues,

but I'd like to hear from you.

On the night in question,
you were here? At home?

He spent the whole night
in his--

I'm sorry, ma'am.
I'm sorry, I need Kai to...

answer in his own words.

I was in my room.

Okay, thank you.

Kai, your recovery shake
is in the kitchen,

you should go drink it. It's
not gonna taste great warm.

I see a lot
of team swag here.

- Yeah.
- You're quite the superfan, huh?

I've had a lot of billets
over the years.

I see. You even got a jersey
with your name on it.

That was a thank-you gift
from the team.

Bet it feels good
to be included

after all you've done for them.

It does.

Mom?

Why does... he call you,
"Mom"?

Oh, his, uh...

biological mother
is incarcerated.

He's never had much of a home.

Not until now.

Mom, can you come here?

Just a sec.

Hmm...

Looks like a blood stain.

I think it is.

If Kai knew where Rory was,
he could've told Gemma.

Then Gemma would also know
exactly where Rory would be.

She puts a lot into these kids.
Into their futures.

Well, maybe she killed Rory
for messing with Kai's.

You want to bring her in
for questioning?

No, not until
we have something.

Something solid enough to force
her to tell us the truth.

Kai may have had a motive
for payback on Rory,

but the guilt on that kid's face
at the mention of the hazing...

he's no murderer.

Kai also didn't seem to care
much about the suspension,

but his billet mom, Gemma,
she sure does.

So you think Gemma
rage-killed Rory out of what?

Revenge for wrecking Kai's life?
She's not even his real mom.

Well, she certainly
seems to think she is.

If Kai was in his room
the whole night,

would he actually know
if Gemma had slipped out at all

during that time?
- And if Gemma knew exactly

where Rory was going to be,
would she really let

the opportunity to confront him
pass her by?

So, are you gonna bring
Gemma in for questioning?

What's your angle?
- Well, first...

we're gonna see a man
about a hockey jersey.

So, what is this about
Gemma being in trouble?

You call your mother Gemma?

I try not to call her
anything at all.

We're not really in touch.

Well, I'm guessing that means

you don't know where
she was Sunday night.

Yeah, I haven't known

where my mother was since 2001.

I'd say it's safe to say
she's just where you left her.

Cheering on those Scorpions.

You used to play
for the team, didn't you?

Look, detectives,

I have left all of that
behind me.

I'm not sure your mother has.

See, she's got a Scarborough
Scorpions hockey jersey

hanging right there
in her living room.

Pride of place,

Dubicki written on the back.

Now, Gemma told us it was

a personalized gift
from the team,

but I took a closer look.
It's game-worn.

Stains, rips...

It's your old jersey, isn't it?

Okay...

What is it that
you want from me?

We're hoping for
an answer, Nathaniel.

What made you leave the game?

Mrs. Dubicki.

What are you doing here?
I thought we answered all your questions.

Well, that's the thing
about questions, you know,

they always lead
to more questions.

How did you get in here
so late?

Oh, the...

the night custodian,
before he retired,

he showed Kai how to get in
after-hours,

put in some extra practice.

Did he show him how
to turn the cameras off too?

You make him come here
and train at night,

even though he's suspended?

He wants to do it.

Besides, I put in
another appeal.

If the league won't listen,
I'll...

I'll go to the court.

I won't give up
without a fight.

I get it. My daughter,
she's nine.

I've gone Mama Bear
more times than I can count.

Well, savour these years.

They go by pretty quickly.

And then they grow up,

and they seem so tough
and strong.

You almost forget
how vulnerable they are.

Like Kai, right?

You have done so much
to nurture him, his talent.

You keep him safe,
you keep him out of trouble.

He deserves it.

Yeah, he never had that.
He never had a family.

And it's probably how Rory
got his hooks into him, right?

I mean, Rory, his captain,
his surrogate brother, he...

he probably peer-pressured Kai
into hazing those rookies.

- That's exactly what happened.
- Yeah.

Yeah.

And that's exactly why you
were here on Sunday night.

Look, Gemma,
we know you were here.

You came here to talk
to the coach,

see if he would fight for Kai.

Coach wasn't here.

But Rory was,
so you talked to him.

Now, a real captain would've
taken responsibility.

Rory should've...
should've owned up,

so that Coach and the league

could've revoked
Kai's suspension.

But Rory wouldn't do it.

Yeah, yeah.

Yeah, Ro... Rory was here.

He was skating around,
slapping pucks into the net.

He was waiting for Coach.

He was worked up, he was...

He was angry?

He was...

he was hopped up
on God knows what.

I, uh, I called him over
to the bench

so I could talk to him.

I... I begged him
to protect Kai.

But he just started
shouting at me

saying he wasn't going
to take orders

from any more assholes
in this building.

He, uh, he started...

slapping pucks at me!

He was getting
madder and madder.

He skated right up
to the bench where I was,

he started slamming his stick
against the boards.

God, you must've
been so scared.

He stepped onto the bench...

and he lifted his stick at me.

So I...

So you?

I pushed him.

He tripped, he fell backwards,
he hit his head.

It was self-defence!

Yeah, it was self-defence,
right up until that point.

But what happened after that,
Gemma, was murder.

What? No, no.

I-I was protecting myself,
I was...

I was protecting my family.

Rory had lost it.

His body was breaking down,

his mind was addled
with amphetamines.

He was pulling everyone
down with him,

and ripping up your dreams,
and you couldn't bear it,

so you pushed him.

But when you looked down
and you saw that blood

coming out of his head...

you didn't reach for your phone
to call an ambulance.

You picked up his stick.

Well, I had to grab
the stick...

before he could grab it!

You hit so hard

that you smashed it in half!

You okay?

But that wasn't enough,
was it?

You kept at him, even when
he couldn't raise his arms.

Even when he couldn't
defend himself.

You kept wailing on him
until you beat him to death.

He came after me!

You're gonna blame me for this?

After what he did to my son?

Which son were you
thinking about, Gemma?

Was it Kai, or was it Nathaniel?

Nathaniel, who had such
a promising career

in front of him until
his teammates

forced vodka down his throat
until he passed out,

and then stuffed him
in a deep freezer,

where he almost died
from hypothermia.

That Nathaniel?

Gemma, your son.

Your real son, he came to you,
didn't he? For help.

He just wanted you
to defend him,

he wanted you to demand justice.

Yeah, but you told him
to suck it up

and get back out there
on the ice.

What? "An athlete forged
in fire will never break."

Is that it?

I mean, you must've known.

I mean, deep down,
you knew, right?

Your maternal instinct knew
that there was something wrong.

But you ignored it.

And now here you are
with another chance,

another son to mould
into your own.

To protect, to nurture.

Rory destroyed that.

Well, here's the thing,
Gemma.

Rory didn't plan the hazing.

Coach McAllister set him up.

That doesn't make any sense.

Making sure Kai was
in that hotel that night

was part of the coach's plan.

He admitted it.
Gambling debts.

No, no.

It was Rory who did it.

It was all Ror...

Rory...
No, Gemma.

You killed Rory for a crime

that Coach McAllister committed.

Hey, are you okay?

You okay?

What is this?

I'm so sorry, Kai.

The social worker
should be here soon, Kai.

She'll talk you
through your options.

We might be able to find you
another host family

to take care of you
for the time being.

Maybe they can even
find you a...

a group home somewhere
close to your mother.

The only reason I'm still
playing hockey

is because of Gemma.

'Cause with her,

I live somewhere safe.

Nice house.

I never had that.

- Hey. Hey.
- Hey.

Hey, Kai.

I'm Kristy from Family Services.

Come with me, let's talk.

Good luck, kid.

This way.

Go home, Bateman.

Hang out with your daughter.

Remind us all that some kids
are in good hands.
