00:00:06,228 --> 00:00:07,969
NARRATOR:
In the criminal justice system
2
00:00:08,029 --> 00:00:11,944
the people are represented
by two separate
yet equally important groups,
3
00:00:12,001 --> 00:00:13,810
the police
who investigate crime
4
00:00:13,870 --> 00:00:16,646
and the district attorneys
who prosecute the offenders.
5
00:00:16,706 --> 00:00:18,208
These are their stories.
6
00:00:19,876 --> 00:00:21,378
You set the alarm?
7
00:00:21,444 --> 00:00:22,582
Every night.
8
00:00:22,645 --> 00:00:23,715
Doesn't hurt to ask.
9
00:00:23,779 --> 00:00:24,985
Do I ever forget?
10
00:00:25,047 --> 00:00:26,355
Twice.
Twice you forgot.
11
00:00:26,415 --> 00:00:29,555
Oh, twice in 15 years,
and you never let me
forget it.
12
00:00:29,619 --> 00:00:31,257
Hey! Maniac!
13
00:00:31,522 --> 00:00:33,001
(GLASS SHATTERING)
14
00:00:34,725 --> 00:00:36,636
You got your cell phone?
Call 911.
15
00:00:37,027 --> 00:00:39,507
WOMAN: Oh, my God,
that new building!
16
00:00:41,198 --> 00:00:43,269
FIREMAN: Fire started
near the elevator,
spread down the hall.
17
00:00:43,333 --> 00:00:44,971
Place went up
like a Roman candle.
18
00:00:45,035 --> 00:00:47,106
Miss Crispy Crunch,
we found in one of
the back bedrooms.
19
00:00:47,171 --> 00:00:49,048
Crispy Crunch?
You think that's funny?
20
00:00:49,106 --> 00:00:50,414
Excuse me, Mr. Sensitive.
21
00:00:50,474 --> 00:00:52,352
Male or female?
Female.
22
00:00:52,410 --> 00:00:53,684
Any idea
what was she doing
in the building?
23
00:00:53,745 --> 00:00:55,691
That's not
my area of expertise.
24
00:00:55,747 --> 00:00:57,954
Thought is,
she probably got trapped
back there somehow.
25
00:00:58,016 --> 00:00:59,086
Well, what about
the windows?
26
00:00:59,150 --> 00:01:00,720
Burglar bars,
no safety release.
27
00:01:00,785 --> 00:01:01,855
Isn't that illegal?
28
00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:04,423
Yeah, so is arson.
We'll write the
contractor a citation.
29
00:01:04,522 --> 00:01:07,628
Yeah, but since
the building was still
under construction?
30
00:01:07,692 --> 00:01:08,966
Slap on the wrist.
31
00:01:09,260 --> 00:01:10,864
Well, it's good
it didn't spread to
any other buildings.
32
00:01:10,929 --> 00:01:12,033
My guys got here quick.
33
00:01:12,096 --> 00:01:13,474
Are you sure it's arson?
34
00:01:13,532 --> 00:01:14,977
Are you sure she's dead?
35
00:01:15,267 --> 00:01:17,144
Okay, thanks.
We'll be in touch.
36
00:01:17,203 --> 00:01:20,184
Hey!
The accelerant,
what'd they use?
37
00:01:20,239 --> 00:01:23,220
My nose tells me
good old-fashioned
regular unleaded.
38
00:01:24,710 --> 00:01:27,520
Why spring for premium
when regular'll do?
39
00:02:18,533 --> 00:02:20,342
Point of origin was
the ground floor hallway.
40
00:02:20,402 --> 00:02:22,712
We found beads of an
orange plastic material.
41
00:02:23,071 --> 00:02:24,379
What do you
make of them?
42
00:02:24,439 --> 00:02:26,510
Probably the container
that held the accelerant.
43
00:02:26,575 --> 00:02:28,282
ED: Any significance
to where it started?
44
00:02:28,343 --> 00:02:30,823
Well, whoever set it
wasn't an expert.
45
00:02:30,879 --> 00:02:34,417
Simple splash down,
but the spot was
chosen carefully.
46
00:02:34,483 --> 00:02:35,826
ED: What do you mean,
"chosen"?
47
00:02:35,884 --> 00:02:38,593
It's center of the building,
setting the fire there
48
00:02:38,655 --> 00:02:41,761
is the best way to contain it,
prevent collateral damage.
49
00:02:41,824 --> 00:02:43,735
Plus, it creates the
fastest route of escape,
50
00:02:43,793 --> 00:02:45,739
easiest access
for firefighters.
51
00:02:45,795 --> 00:02:46,933
Thoughtful arsonist.
52
00:02:46,996 --> 00:02:48,737
Still, not exactly
covering your tracks.
53
00:02:48,798 --> 00:02:51,506
Well, he certainly wasn't
trying to make it look
like an accident.
54
00:02:51,567 --> 00:02:55,071
I'm thinking more like
maximum damage in
a minimum amount of time.
55
00:02:55,238 --> 00:02:56,376
Why did you say "he"?
56
00:02:56,439 --> 00:03:00,252
Statistically, arson is
predominantly a crime
committed by men.
57
00:03:00,944 --> 00:03:02,821
But in this case,
I had another clue.
58
00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:04,223
BRISCOE: What was that?
59
00:03:04,281 --> 00:03:07,160
The female body they found?
She was naked.
60
00:03:08,352 --> 00:03:09,956
Naked? What
are we talking about?
61
00:03:10,020 --> 00:03:12,466
Twenty-five to 30-year-old
female, Caucasian.
62
00:03:12,523 --> 00:03:13,558
Rape-arson?
63
00:03:13,624 --> 00:03:16,366
M.E.'s preliminary
lists cause of death
as smoke inhalation.
64
00:03:16,427 --> 00:03:17,701
She was alive.
65
00:03:17,895 --> 00:03:20,934
Yeah, but Forensics
says her earrings
were across the room.
66
00:03:20,999 --> 00:03:23,479
ED: With whatever was left
of her clothes.
67
00:03:23,535 --> 00:03:26,641
So, what,
Jane Doe breaks into
a half-finished apartment,
68
00:03:26,705 --> 00:03:29,811
takes off her earrings,
folds her clothes,
69
00:03:29,874 --> 00:03:32,354
alone?
That's a little odd.
70
00:03:32,944 --> 00:03:34,855
Any indication
of violence?
71
00:03:34,913 --> 00:03:36,392
The body was
too badly burned.
72
00:03:36,448 --> 00:03:38,450
Missing Persons
still working on an ID.
73
00:03:38,516 --> 00:03:41,464
So if it wasn't rape-arson,
it's murder-arson.
74
00:03:41,587 --> 00:03:43,498
Unless the fire bug
didn't know she was there.
75
00:03:43,556 --> 00:03:46,002
Then it's just more
than he bargained for.
76
00:03:47,793 --> 00:03:50,535
A list of people
who had access to
the site after hours.
77
00:03:50,596 --> 00:03:52,542
Any on-site guards?
Not until midnight.
78
00:03:52,598 --> 00:03:53,906
What about cameras?
79
00:03:53,966 --> 00:03:55,206
Hadn't been activated yet.
80
00:03:55,267 --> 00:03:57,008
We're waiting for
the tenants to move in.
81
00:03:57,069 --> 00:03:58,844
Come on, Lennie,
a tape of people
coming and going.
82
00:03:58,904 --> 00:04:00,111
You know that would've
been too easy.
83
00:04:00,173 --> 00:04:01,914
I guess I'm getting
lazy in my old age.
84
00:04:01,975 --> 00:04:03,977
So, when were the tenants
scheduled to arrive?
85
00:04:04,044 --> 00:04:05,182
Not for
a couple of months.
86
00:04:05,245 --> 00:04:07,657
They still had
some punch list items
that needed attending to.
87
00:04:07,714 --> 00:04:09,125
ED: Like the burglar alarm?
88
00:04:09,182 --> 00:04:10,718
That was already installed.
89
00:04:11,451 --> 00:04:13,488
Well, who on this list
might've known the code?
90
00:04:16,056 --> 00:04:17,626
Last but not least, right?
91
00:04:18,391 --> 00:04:20,064
I mean, you figure
something like this happens,
92
00:04:20,127 --> 00:04:22,199
you're gonna question
the master electrician
sooner or later.
93
00:04:22,263 --> 00:04:23,674
So you did
all the wiring?
94
00:04:23,731 --> 00:04:26,405
The way I hear it,
wiring has nothing to do
with this fire.
95
00:04:26,467 --> 00:04:27,844
BRISCOE: Oh, is that
what you heard?
96
00:04:27,902 --> 00:04:32,180
What I hear is that somebody
was playing with matches
without any clothes on.
97
00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:34,743
Any news about
who she might have
been playing with?
98
00:04:35,042 --> 00:04:36,817
No.
ED: So, how'd she get in?
99
00:04:36,878 --> 00:04:40,257
I mean,
the burglar alarms were
installed properly, right?
100
00:04:40,314 --> 00:04:41,725
I tested 'em myself.
101
00:04:41,783 --> 00:04:43,695
When?
A week,
week and a half ago.
102
00:04:43,752 --> 00:04:44,822
ED: So what happened?
103
00:04:44,887 --> 00:04:46,457
Obviously, somebody
turned 'em off.
104
00:04:46,522 --> 00:04:48,433
Yeah, that's exactly
what we were thinking.
105
00:04:48,490 --> 00:04:49,730
Question is, "Who?"
106
00:04:49,792 --> 00:04:52,534
Yeah, you could see
how your name might
come to mind.
107
00:04:52,594 --> 00:04:55,404
You guys think I'd set
a fire using gasoline?
108
00:04:55,464 --> 00:04:57,876
There's a lot of ways
something like this
can be done.
109
00:04:57,933 --> 00:04:59,640
So, you put
some thought into this.
110
00:04:59,701 --> 00:05:02,375
Let's just say somebody
setting a fire on that job,
111
00:05:02,438 --> 00:05:03,747
it wasn't a big surprise.
112
00:05:03,807 --> 00:05:05,218
BRISCOE: What does that mean?
113
00:05:05,275 --> 00:05:09,018
Landlord lightning,
that's why God invented
insurance companies.
114
00:05:09,078 --> 00:05:11,752
It strikes somewhere
every five minutes.
115
00:05:11,815 --> 00:05:13,852
First time
the paychecks were late,
116
00:05:13,917 --> 00:05:16,329
we made book on
when it would hit.
117
00:05:19,389 --> 00:05:22,666
How many other developers
build affordable housing
for working people?
118
00:05:22,725 --> 00:05:24,205
I don't know, how many?
119
00:05:24,261 --> 00:05:26,298
One bedroom,
Pullman kitchen,
120
00:05:26,363 --> 00:05:28,900
2,200 a month.
You call that affordable?
121
00:05:28,966 --> 00:05:30,036
KELLNER: In this city.
122
00:05:30,100 --> 00:05:31,704
It's a mugging
with a cappuccino.
123
00:05:31,769 --> 00:05:33,510
Well, maybe in Nyack
or wherever,
124
00:05:33,571 --> 00:05:36,518
but on the Upper West Side,
2,200's a pretty good deal.
125
00:05:36,574 --> 00:05:37,712
And I got bills to pay.
126
00:05:37,775 --> 00:05:39,277
Which, apparently,
you don't always pay.
127
00:05:39,343 --> 00:05:41,050
Look, are you accusing me
of something, Detective?
128
00:05:41,111 --> 00:05:43,648
Because if you are,
I will phone my attorney...
Easy.
129
00:05:43,714 --> 00:05:45,717
Just trying to get
the lay of the land.
130
00:05:47,085 --> 00:05:48,723
Last month,
we had a cash crunch.
131
00:05:49,087 --> 00:05:52,660
It was a temporary situation.
Doesn't make me an arsonist.
132
00:05:53,091 --> 00:05:54,900
Every time
I think of that girl...
133
00:05:55,260 --> 00:05:57,672
Look, I build, I don't burn.
134
00:05:58,296 --> 00:06:01,436
Especially not after
what I went through getting
approval for that place.
135
00:06:01,500 --> 00:06:02,604
What was the problem?
136
00:06:02,667 --> 00:06:05,273
Neighborhood didn't
like me building over
a community garden.
137
00:06:05,338 --> 00:06:08,478
Yeah, I read about that.
Giuliani sold off
city-owned lots.
138
00:06:08,541 --> 00:06:11,021
Yeah, that property paid
no real estate taxes at all,
139
00:06:11,077 --> 00:06:12,579
but you know New Yorkers.
140
00:06:12,645 --> 00:06:14,886
Against it,
no matter what it is.
On principle.
141
00:06:14,947 --> 00:06:17,154
That's why you included
the low-income housing,
142
00:06:17,216 --> 00:06:19,127
to get past the
community board?
143
00:06:19,185 --> 00:06:20,255
It helped.
144
00:06:20,319 --> 00:06:21,696
Couldn't have helped
your profit margin much.
145
00:06:21,754 --> 00:06:23,631
Look, in the first place,
146
00:06:23,689 --> 00:06:27,331
I burn this building down,
the approval process only gets
more brutal the next time.
147
00:06:27,394 --> 00:06:28,896
BRISCOE: And
in the second place?
148
00:06:29,229 --> 00:06:31,402
My insurance policy sucked.
149
00:06:33,066 --> 00:06:36,604
The builder came up short
a couple of times,
couldn't make the payroll.
150
00:06:36,670 --> 00:06:40,311
According to a broker,
he's been trying to flip
the property, unsuccessfully.
151
00:06:40,374 --> 00:06:42,547
Neighborhood activists
gave him a hard time.
152
00:06:42,609 --> 00:06:45,021
Yeah, they wanted to
raise carrots. He wanted
to raise money.
153
00:06:45,078 --> 00:06:47,855
So, you think
the long fuse reaches
back to his office?
154
00:06:47,916 --> 00:06:49,657
The guy was just trying
to make ends meet,
155
00:06:49,717 --> 00:06:51,253
but the insurance money
wasn't there.
156
00:06:51,319 --> 00:06:53,925
And everyone who had access
to the site after hours?
157
00:06:53,988 --> 00:06:55,126
Has an alibi.
158
00:06:55,189 --> 00:06:58,898
Well, the arson report says
the service entrance and
back entrance of the site
159
00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:00,769
were locked and
the alarms were set.
160
00:07:00,828 --> 00:07:04,241
Yeah, no sign of B and E
through any of the windows
or from the roof.
161
00:07:04,299 --> 00:07:06,040
So whoever
set the torch...
162
00:07:06,100 --> 00:07:07,602
Probably snuck in
during the day,
163
00:07:07,669 --> 00:07:10,048
hid out in the basement
until closing time,
164
00:07:10,105 --> 00:07:12,642
lit up the joint,
and then made it out
through the lobby doors.
165
00:07:12,708 --> 00:07:14,187
Or beat the system.
166
00:07:15,044 --> 00:07:17,490
Hey, Missing Persons.
Female Caucasian.
167
00:07:17,546 --> 00:07:20,083
Right age, right height.
Parents are from out of town,
168
00:07:20,149 --> 00:07:21,890
they reported
their daughter missing
a few days ago.
169
00:07:21,951 --> 00:07:25,091
We're gonna have to do
dental records or DNA
for a positive ID.
170
00:07:25,154 --> 00:07:27,760
Well, make sure
you've got that before
you talk to them.
171
00:07:27,823 --> 00:07:30,031
The last thing I want is
to tell the wrong people
172
00:07:30,093 --> 00:07:32,369
their daughter
burned to death in a fire.
173
00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:38,902
But she lived here alone?
174
00:07:38,969 --> 00:07:40,073
No one else on the lease.
175
00:07:40,136 --> 00:07:41,945
She have a boyfriend?
I wouldn't know.
176
00:07:42,005 --> 00:07:43,416
It's not a doorman building.
177
00:07:43,473 --> 00:07:46,283
(ANSWERING MACHINE BEEPS)
Hi. It's Mom.
It's about 7:00.
178
00:07:46,343 --> 00:07:48,653
Dad and I will be up
till 10:00 or so. Love you.
179
00:07:48,712 --> 00:07:51,489
Breakfast dishes
in the sink.
Oh, that's her.
180
00:07:51,549 --> 00:07:53,825
Hey, Ed, remember those
earrings they found?
181
00:07:53,884 --> 00:07:56,558
(ANSWERING MACHINE BEEPS)
Melanie. It's Mom.
Are you there?
182
00:07:56,621 --> 00:07:58,965
I'm home.
Call us whenever.
183
00:07:59,690 --> 00:08:01,169
Bed's made.
No sign of struggle.
184
00:08:01,225 --> 00:08:04,399
(ANSWERING MACHINE BEEPS)
Melanie, please, call me
as soon as you get this.
185
00:08:04,462 --> 00:08:07,909
I tried you at the school,
but none of the other
teachers had seen you.
186
00:08:07,965 --> 00:08:10,206
Dad and I are
very worried, honey.
187
00:08:12,771 --> 00:08:15,718
It wasn't like Melanie
to just not show up.
188
00:08:16,008 --> 00:08:17,954
She's a really
dedicated teacher.
189
00:08:18,010 --> 00:08:19,489
How long
have you known her?
190
00:08:19,544 --> 00:08:21,956
About two years.
Our classrooms are
next to each other.
191
00:08:22,014 --> 00:08:23,891
Is there any place
she might go?
192
00:08:23,949 --> 00:08:25,826
Somebody she might be
staying with?
193
00:08:25,884 --> 00:08:27,329
You mean, is she
with someone?
194
00:08:27,386 --> 00:08:29,332
I don't think so.
Not seriously.
195
00:08:29,388 --> 00:08:30,628
What about casually?
196
00:08:31,023 --> 00:08:32,799
Melanie's not like that.
197
00:08:33,126 --> 00:08:35,197
There was this one guy
she had crush on.
198
00:08:35,261 --> 00:08:37,263
He used to come by
sometimes after work.
199
00:08:37,330 --> 00:08:39,901
I don't think
she really wanted to
advertise it, though.
200
00:08:39,966 --> 00:08:41,411
BRISCOE: Why's that?
201
00:08:41,467 --> 00:08:44,346
He's a student's father.
A boy in the fifth grade,
I think.
202
00:08:44,404 --> 00:08:45,815
You know his name?
203
00:08:46,406 --> 00:08:48,147
His first name's Eric.
204
00:08:48,541 --> 00:08:51,283
I met him once.
You could probably get
the last name in the office.
205
00:08:51,344 --> 00:08:53,188
How often did this Eric
come around?
206
00:08:53,247 --> 00:08:55,158
Every couple of weeks,
I guess.
207
00:08:55,215 --> 00:08:56,888
BRISCOE: When's the
last time you saw him?
208
00:08:56,950 --> 00:08:59,863
Actually, the day
she disappeared.
About 5:00.
209
00:09:01,221 --> 00:09:02,632
Thank you.
210
00:09:07,227 --> 00:09:09,468
Careful. That's
a hand-inked reproduction.
211
00:09:09,530 --> 00:09:12,807
First issue.
I got it off eBay.
How it all started.
212
00:09:12,866 --> 00:09:14,073
How what all started?
213
00:09:14,135 --> 00:09:16,615
X-Men. Hmm,
you never read these.
214
00:09:16,671 --> 00:09:19,277
Afraid I'm gonna have to
sell this to put my kid
through college one day.
215
00:09:19,340 --> 00:09:22,947
Uh, can we get back to
talking about Melanie Fried,
Mr. Shollar?
216
00:09:23,011 --> 00:09:25,321
Uh, yeah, sure.
BRISCOE: So, you did know her?
217
00:09:25,847 --> 00:09:27,849
Yeah. Just to say hi.
218
00:09:27,916 --> 00:09:29,361
My kid goes to PS260,
219
00:09:29,417 --> 00:09:31,590
so I'd see her at drop-off
sometimes, you know.
Stuff like that.
220
00:09:31,653 --> 00:09:32,996
What about after school?
221
00:09:33,054 --> 00:09:34,363
After school?
Yeah.
222
00:09:34,423 --> 00:09:36,334
You know,
say around 5:00.
223
00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:39,997
I don't know.
I'm usually working
around 5:00.
224
00:09:40,129 --> 00:09:42,336
Can I get either of you
some coffee? Tea, maybe?
225
00:09:42,398 --> 00:09:44,036
No, thanks, we're fine.
226
00:09:44,100 --> 00:09:46,603
Uh, Mr. Shollar,
what kind of work do you do?
227
00:09:46,669 --> 00:09:49,775
I do construction.
Dry walling, plastering.
228
00:09:49,839 --> 00:09:51,978
You ever do any work
for Kellner Construction?
229
00:09:52,041 --> 00:09:54,578
Eric just finished
a job for Kellner
not two weeks ago.
230
00:09:54,810 --> 00:09:56,154
Is that right?
231
00:09:56,379 --> 00:09:57,483
Yeah.
232
00:09:57,547 --> 00:09:59,720
You didn't happen to
work on the building that
burned down, did you?
233
00:09:59,783 --> 00:10:01,524
MRS. SHOLLAR: As a matter
of fact, he did.
234
00:10:04,621 --> 00:10:06,396
Is that what
this is all about?
235
00:10:07,224 --> 00:10:10,865
Mr. Shollar,
maybe it'd be better if
we talked to you downtown.
236
00:10:10,927 --> 00:10:13,567
You know, we can show
you some pictures,
maybe jog your memory.
237
00:10:13,630 --> 00:10:14,836
Yeah, maybe that
would be better.
238
00:10:14,898 --> 00:10:16,776
Jog his memory
about who?
239
00:10:17,101 --> 00:10:19,980
A woman died in the fire.
We're just trying
to get an ID.
240
00:10:20,037 --> 00:10:21,482
ERIC: Yeah, I'm just
gonna take a look.
241
00:10:21,672 --> 00:10:23,083
Probably never even
seen her before.
242
00:10:23,141 --> 00:10:25,519
ED: We'll have him back home
in a couple of hours.
243
00:10:25,576 --> 00:10:27,214
Keep him
as long as you like.
244
00:10:33,584 --> 00:10:37,328
One of the teachers
in Melanie's school
saw you pick her up that day.
245
00:10:37,389 --> 00:10:40,233
And Kellner confirmed
that they gave you
a key to the place.
246
00:10:40,292 --> 00:10:42,795
A key you never
returned, Eric.
247
00:10:42,861 --> 00:10:45,034
You sure you didn't
take her to the site
that night, Eric,
248
00:10:45,097 --> 00:10:46,440
maybe show her
some of your handiwork?
249
00:10:46,498 --> 00:10:48,341
How good you are
with spackle?
250
00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:50,380
Come on, man.
We got a witness who saw
251
00:10:50,435 --> 00:10:53,678
somebody fitting
your description
running from the building.
252
00:10:55,307 --> 00:10:58,551
Her parents need to know
if it's their daughter
for sure.
253
00:10:59,045 --> 00:11:00,490
Look, I don't want to
screw up my marriage.
254
00:11:00,547 --> 00:11:01,855
If my wife
finds out that I...
255
00:11:01,915 --> 00:11:04,828
What?
That you slept with her,
or that you killed her?
256
00:11:04,884 --> 00:11:06,022
All I did
was take her there.
257
00:11:06,085 --> 00:11:07,564
ED: And what happened?
258
00:11:08,321 --> 00:11:10,824
We would flirt
at the school.
259
00:11:11,524 --> 00:11:13,470
I'd see her in
the morning sometimes
when I dropped my kid off.
260
00:11:13,526 --> 00:11:14,903
BRISCOE: And
what about that day?
261
00:11:15,361 --> 00:11:16,806
I saw her that morning.
262
00:11:17,096 --> 00:11:19,703
She mentioned before
how she was thinking about
getting a bigger place.
263
00:11:19,767 --> 00:11:23,112
I told her about the place
I'm working at and offered
to show her around.
264
00:11:24,038 --> 00:11:26,746
Anyway, we're alone,
one thing leads to the next,
265
00:11:26,807 --> 00:11:28,081
and pretty soon
I got her clothes off.
266
00:11:28,142 --> 00:11:29,917
Wait. What part of
the building was this?
267
00:11:29,977 --> 00:11:31,752
Uh, one of the apartments.
268
00:11:32,012 --> 00:11:34,117
They had just
put the carpet down.
269
00:11:34,181 --> 00:11:36,684
Anyway, that's when I realized
I didn't have any condoms,
270
00:11:36,750 --> 00:11:38,525
so I ran to the store
to get some.
271
00:11:38,919 --> 00:11:40,991
Safe sex,
very responsible.
272
00:11:41,056 --> 00:11:43,764
Look, I wasn't gone
10 minutes. I come back,
the building's on fire.
273
00:11:43,825 --> 00:11:45,168
So you ran away?
274
00:11:45,227 --> 00:11:47,673
I couldn't get back in.
The fire was in the hallway.
275
00:11:47,729 --> 00:11:48,969
I tried to call 911.
276
00:11:49,030 --> 00:11:51,101
What do you mean,
you tried to call 911?
277
00:11:51,166 --> 00:11:52,770
At the pay phone
on the corner.
278
00:11:53,235 --> 00:11:55,442
There was a girl on the phone.
She said she already called.
279
00:11:55,503 --> 00:11:57,244
What did this girl
look like?
280
00:11:58,139 --> 00:12:01,553
Uh, blonde, ponytail,
blue ski hat, jeans.
281
00:12:02,411 --> 00:12:03,890
Anything else?
282
00:12:04,647 --> 00:12:06,217
Height, weight, age?
283
00:12:06,282 --> 00:12:07,659
Would you recognize her
if you saw her again?
284
00:12:07,717 --> 00:12:08,855
I might. I don't know.
285
00:12:08,918 --> 00:12:11,558
But you didn't stick around
to see how Melanie was.
286
00:12:13,789 --> 00:12:15,894
I got nervous
when I heard the sirens.
287
00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:17,629
I figured she'd be okay.
288
00:12:17,693 --> 00:12:19,195
You figured wrong.
289
00:12:22,065 --> 00:12:23,169
You gonna tell my wife?
290
00:12:23,233 --> 00:12:25,941
Oh, trust me, pal.
She already knows.
291
00:12:28,972 --> 00:12:30,974
The drugstore manager
ID'd Shollar.
292
00:12:31,041 --> 00:12:33,112
Said he ran in and
bought a pack of condoms.
293
00:12:33,176 --> 00:12:35,178
Like he had a hot date.
His words.
294
00:12:35,245 --> 00:12:36,918
They see anyone
at the pay phone?
295
00:12:36,980 --> 00:12:39,688
Not a soul.
No Shollar,
no ponytail.
296
00:12:39,750 --> 00:12:41,752
So, we can't confirm
Shollar's story.
297
00:12:41,819 --> 00:12:44,959
That he wanted to call 911?
Maybe he wanted to.
298
00:12:45,023 --> 00:12:46,798
But according to the IUDs,
nobody did.
299
00:12:46,858 --> 00:12:48,166
But at about the same time,
300
00:12:48,226 --> 00:12:51,264
there was a three-minute call
from that phone to
a number in Inwood.
301
00:12:51,329 --> 00:12:53,240
Yeah,
a Mr. Kent Quigley.
302
00:12:53,565 --> 00:12:55,636
All right.
You know the drill.
Talk to this Quigley
303
00:12:55,700 --> 00:12:57,543
see if we can't
find the girl.
304
00:12:57,602 --> 00:13:01,072
Maybe Shollar'll get lucky
and get a little backup
for his story,
305
00:13:01,139 --> 00:13:04,121
or maybe we'll get
a little lucky and come up
with a material witness
306
00:13:04,176 --> 00:13:06,622
to testify against
this son of a bitch.
307
00:13:11,216 --> 00:13:13,162
Last Monday?
A phone call?
308
00:13:13,218 --> 00:13:14,856
Yeah, around 8:00 p.m.
309
00:13:15,154 --> 00:13:17,657
I don't really remember.
I get a lot of phone calls.
310
00:13:17,723 --> 00:13:19,066
Do you remember all
the phone calls you get?
311
00:13:19,124 --> 00:13:20,501
ED: It was from a pay phone.
312
00:13:20,893 --> 00:13:23,100
How would I know that?
You got caller ID.
313
00:13:23,930 --> 00:13:26,433
Monday night,
I'm not even sure I was
home from work by then.
314
00:13:26,499 --> 00:13:28,137
Look, you're a little slow
on the pick-up, man.
315
00:13:28,201 --> 00:13:29,771
Somebody answered
the phone.
316
00:13:30,203 --> 00:13:31,511
Maybe it was
a wrong number.
317
00:13:31,905 --> 00:13:33,976
Do you remember
getting a wrong number?
318
00:13:34,207 --> 00:13:35,743
Yeah. I think I do.
319
00:13:36,977 --> 00:13:41,289
Who was it from?
Man, woman, young, old?
320
00:13:42,248 --> 00:13:45,093
A man. Old. Older.
321
00:13:46,253 --> 00:13:47,789
What'd you talk about?
322
00:13:47,855 --> 00:13:49,061
Nothing, you know.
323
00:13:49,123 --> 00:13:51,399
Nobody here by that name.
He misdialed.
324
00:13:51,459 --> 00:13:54,338
Phone records
indicate the call lasted
almost three minutes.
325
00:13:54,395 --> 00:13:55,874
Maybe I didn't hang it up
right or something.
326
00:13:55,930 --> 00:13:57,500
ED: You live alone?
Yes.
327
00:13:58,165 --> 00:13:59,872
You having your period,
Mr. Quigley?
328
00:13:59,934 --> 00:14:01,777
I told you all I know.
329
00:14:02,403 --> 00:14:04,542
I think you guys
should just leave.
330
00:14:04,739 --> 00:14:07,721
Well, thanks, Mr. Quigley,
you've really been
a tremendous help.
331
00:14:09,478 --> 00:14:12,425
How many blonde ponytails
call this guy, you think?
332
00:14:12,481 --> 00:14:14,188
Not so often
you wouldn't remember.
333
00:14:14,816 --> 00:14:16,625
Didn't hang up
right, my ass.
334
00:14:18,153 --> 00:14:19,496
Excuse me.
335
00:14:19,855 --> 00:14:21,061
Hey, how
you doing, man?
336
00:14:21,123 --> 00:14:22,625
Do you know
the tenant in 3B?
337
00:14:22,691 --> 00:14:26,469
Quigley? Yeah, sure.
Real quiet guy.
Why, what'd he do?
338
00:14:26,596 --> 00:14:28,940
Well, actually,
we're trying to locate
a young lady.
339
00:14:28,998 --> 00:14:30,807
Uh, blonde, ponytail...
340
00:14:30,867 --> 00:14:32,175
She might've had on
a ski cap.
341
00:14:32,235 --> 00:14:35,944
Recently, right?
I thought she might be
family or something.
342
00:14:36,472 --> 00:14:37,951
ED: Why do you say that?
She had a key.
343
00:14:38,174 --> 00:14:40,552
Came and went.
Only here a few days through.
344
00:14:40,610 --> 00:14:43,090
Her and two other guys.
Visiting, it seemed to me.
345
00:14:43,346 --> 00:14:45,053
What'd these two
other guys look like?
346
00:14:45,114 --> 00:14:47,026
SUPER: You know, kids.
Nothing special.
347
00:14:47,084 --> 00:14:48,620
When was the last time
you saw 'em?
348
00:14:48,686 --> 00:14:50,495
Maybe a day or so ago.
349
00:14:50,554 --> 00:14:52,500
They, uh, left real early
in the morning.
350
00:14:52,556 --> 00:14:54,229
They had backpacks
and such.
351
00:14:54,458 --> 00:14:56,096
Hey, do you know
where Quigley works?
352
00:14:56,160 --> 00:14:58,333
Food co-op on 116th Street.
353
00:14:59,096 --> 00:15:00,700
It's always
the quiet guys, huh?
354
00:15:02,066 --> 00:15:04,273
Monday?
Kent was here all day.
355
00:15:04,334 --> 00:15:05,506
What time did he leave?
356
00:15:05,569 --> 00:15:07,810
Around 6:30.
We walked out together.
357
00:15:07,872 --> 00:15:09,283
That leaves enough time.
358
00:15:09,340 --> 00:15:10,648
Enough time for what?
359
00:15:11,042 --> 00:15:14,615
Did you ever see him
with a blonde, ponytail,
in her 20s?
360
00:15:15,213 --> 00:15:16,317
Kent?
361
00:15:16,448 --> 00:15:18,121
Why, Quigley doesn't
date women?
362
00:15:18,183 --> 00:15:19,924
Kent doesn't date, period.
363
00:15:19,984 --> 00:15:21,657
Hey, you ever see Kent
with a date?
364
00:15:22,153 --> 00:15:23,359
There's a concept.
365
00:15:23,421 --> 00:15:25,025
Kent's too wrapped up
in his work.
366
00:15:25,356 --> 00:15:27,131
What? Here?
Bagging barley?
367
00:15:27,192 --> 00:15:28,296
His causes.
368
00:15:28,359 --> 00:15:30,237
What causes
would these be?
369
00:15:30,296 --> 00:15:32,902
Environment.
Kent's pretty intense.
370
00:15:32,965 --> 00:15:35,138
Wait. What about
that woman last week?
371
00:15:35,201 --> 00:15:37,977
They said a date.
She came here
with two other guys.
372
00:15:38,037 --> 00:15:39,175
What woman is this?
373
00:15:39,238 --> 00:15:41,741
Oh, they stopped by,
I don't know, around
3:00, 4:00 in the afternoon,
374
00:15:41,807 --> 00:15:44,185
looking for Kent.
But that was Thursday.
375
00:15:44,310 --> 00:15:45,846
BRISCOE: Friends of his?
376
00:15:45,945 --> 00:15:47,583
Actually, now that
you mention it,
377
00:15:47,646 --> 00:15:49,523
it didn't seem like
they even really
knew each other.
378
00:15:49,649 --> 00:15:50,992
That's why I didn't
think of it right off.
379
00:15:52,319 --> 00:15:55,994
Quigley, Kent.
Date of birth 3-21-76.
380
00:15:56,056 --> 00:15:58,229
Cohoes, New York.
It's up near Albany.
381
00:15:58,291 --> 00:16:00,362
Let me guess.
Some penny-ante priors.
382
00:16:00,427 --> 00:16:02,907
Two speeding tickets,
jaywalking,
383
00:16:02,963 --> 00:16:06,035
and throwing paint
on some rich lady's fur
in Chappaqua.
384
00:16:06,099 --> 00:16:08,841
Close. One speeding ticket,
Columbia county.
385
00:16:08,902 --> 00:16:11,315
Columbia county,
everybody gets
speeding tickets.
386
00:16:11,439 --> 00:16:13,680
How else do they pay
for the roads to get
plowed in the winter?
387
00:16:14,175 --> 00:16:17,156
And a disorderly beef
a year ago at, uh,
388
00:16:17,211 --> 00:16:20,351
you're so good at guessing,
Dionne Warwick,
you tell me where.
389
00:16:20,414 --> 00:16:23,793
Community gardens protest
against Kellner Real Estate.
390
00:16:23,851 --> 00:16:25,387
Credit cards
off the subpoena,
391
00:16:25,453 --> 00:16:27,160
10 bucks
at a convenience store,
392
00:16:27,221 --> 00:16:29,599
20 bucks for Chinese takeout,
and ready for this?
393
00:16:29,657 --> 00:16:34,869
Day of the fire,
1:55 p.m., 12 bucks from
a gas station in the Bronx.
394
00:16:35,030 --> 00:16:36,839
A, I thought he was
at work all day,
395
00:16:36,899 --> 00:16:41,245
and B, I'll give you odds
our Mr. Greenjeans
doesn't even own a car.
396
00:16:45,007 --> 00:16:46,452
MANAGER: You said
Monday afternoon?
397
00:16:46,508 --> 00:16:49,421
Yeah. Around 2:00.
How often do you
tape over these things?
398
00:16:49,478 --> 00:16:50,582
Every two weeks.
399
00:16:50,646 --> 00:16:51,716
We're supposed to
hold them for a month,
400
00:16:51,780 --> 00:16:53,192
but I got better things
to spend money on.
401
00:16:53,349 --> 00:16:57,126
Hey, credit authorization
was for 1:55 p.m.,
so this should be it.
402
00:17:02,625 --> 00:17:04,298
Here's a guy that knows
what he's looking for.
403
00:17:07,931 --> 00:17:09,274
You remember
anything they said?
404
00:17:09,332 --> 00:17:10,538
Sorry.
405
00:17:10,600 --> 00:17:12,511
How about if they had
a girl with them?
406
00:17:12,569 --> 00:17:15,176
Five days ago?
Couldn't tell you who
was here five minutes ago.
407
00:17:15,472 --> 00:17:17,918
Lennie, you remember
those orange plastic beads?
408
00:17:17,975 --> 00:17:19,613
Melt this down,
I bet you get a match.
409
00:17:20,110 --> 00:17:22,454
Wait, there she is
By the door.
410
00:17:23,180 --> 00:17:24,955
ED: Ski cap, ponytail.
411
00:17:26,083 --> 00:17:27,892
We get somebody
at the food co-op
to ID these jokers,
412
00:17:27,952 --> 00:17:29,226
we got enough
for a warrant.
413
00:17:29,286 --> 00:17:30,788
We're gonna
need this tape.
414
00:17:31,322 --> 00:17:33,359
I lost my credit card.
Did you report it?
415
00:17:33,424 --> 00:17:34,699
I figured
it would turn up.
416
00:17:34,759 --> 00:17:37,103
Why would I be buying gas?
I don't even own a car.
417
00:17:37,162 --> 00:17:38,835
You know, that's
exactly what we said.
418
00:17:38,897 --> 00:17:41,776
The gas station
security camera taped
two kids using your card.
419
00:17:41,833 --> 00:17:44,575
Then I suppose
I'm not responsible
for the charges, am I?
420
00:17:44,803 --> 00:17:49,218
Well, look at this.
Hey, Lennie.
Lost in plain sight.
421
00:17:49,841 --> 00:17:51,878
BRISCOE: "Greens builders
square off.
422
00:17:52,611 --> 00:17:54,784
"West Side Garden no Eden.
423
00:17:55,848 --> 00:17:58,294
"Five arrested
in garden protest."
424
00:17:58,818 --> 00:18:00,798
Now, this garden
wouldn't happen
to be the lot
425
00:18:00,853 --> 00:18:02,730
where they put up
that building that was
torched, would it?
426
00:18:02,788 --> 00:18:03,960
I wouldn't know
anything about that.
427
00:18:04,023 --> 00:18:06,333
Do you always keep
clippings of things you
don't know anything about?
428
00:18:06,392 --> 00:18:07,462
And that lot wasn't empty.
429
00:18:07,526 --> 00:18:09,597
It was a community garden
that had been
lovingly maintained
430
00:18:09,662 --> 00:18:11,903
by the people
of that neighborhood
for over 20 years!
431
00:18:11,964 --> 00:18:13,170
ED: It was bought
by Kellner Real Estate.
432
00:18:13,232 --> 00:18:15,679
It was public land,
the city had
no right to sell it.
433
00:18:16,169 --> 00:18:19,480
ED: Now, what would
you be doing with
a disassembled alarm system?
434
00:18:19,973 --> 00:18:21,919
You want to
give me odds that
it matches the system
435
00:18:21,975 --> 00:18:23,955
in that building
you don't know
anything about?
436
00:18:24,244 --> 00:18:26,520
You been doing
a little homework on
how to bypass alarms?
437
00:18:26,580 --> 00:18:27,718
You're under arrest,
438
00:18:27,781 --> 00:18:29,385
but I guess
you wouldn't know
anything about that either.
439
00:18:29,449 --> 00:18:31,122
We are losing
our wetlands,
our wilderness.
440
00:18:31,184 --> 00:18:32,686
Every day,
we are paving
over nature.
441
00:18:32,753 --> 00:18:34,061
Oh, you think
Manhattan's a wasteland?
442
00:18:34,121 --> 00:18:35,759
Wait until you see
Rikers Island.
443
00:18:39,093 --> 00:18:40,367
Three people,
two male, one female,
444
00:18:40,428 --> 00:18:42,840
used Quigley's credit card
at the gas station.
445
00:18:42,964 --> 00:18:45,137
We're sure it's the same girl
from the pay phone?
446
00:18:45,233 --> 00:18:48,180
The victim's boyfriend
positively ID'd her
from the gas station video.
447
00:18:49,003 --> 00:18:50,277
What's their connection
to Quigley?
448
00:18:50,338 --> 00:18:51,442
We don't know that yet.
449
00:18:51,506 --> 00:18:54,043
But a co-worker says
that the three stopped by
the food co-op last week,
450
00:18:54,108 --> 00:18:56,054
and the super confirms
that they were
staying with him.
451
00:18:56,177 --> 00:18:58,124
Which probably means
they're from out of town.
452
00:18:58,180 --> 00:19:00,217
How close are we
to identifying them?
453
00:19:00,282 --> 00:19:01,852
Quigley hasn't
given up any names.
454
00:19:02,384 --> 00:19:04,421
He's prepared to take
the fall for this alone?
455
00:19:04,486 --> 00:19:06,432
Well, the guy sees himself
as some kind of martyr.
456
00:19:07,723 --> 00:19:10,363
Easy to do when
you're not looking through
the eyes of your victim.
457
00:19:11,293 --> 00:19:12,738
Are we checking
the connection between
458
00:19:12,795 --> 00:19:15,207
the fire and
the original protest
at the building site?
459
00:19:15,397 --> 00:19:17,206
I'm going down
to the community board today.
460
00:19:17,566 --> 00:19:20,309
When we do find them,
arson, murder two.
461
00:19:24,174 --> 00:19:27,485
I'm not saying the mayor
shouldn't have unloaded
the community garden.
462
00:19:27,544 --> 00:19:30,286
The city sold 30,
maybe 40 empty lots
463
00:19:30,347 --> 00:19:31,883
over a four-year period.
464
00:19:31,948 --> 00:19:33,450
Most of them
abandoned.
465
00:19:33,883 --> 00:19:35,419
People objected, though.
466
00:19:35,485 --> 00:19:37,726
Tough call.
A community garden,
467
00:19:37,787 --> 00:19:40,735
or another
apartment building?
Which would you rather have?
468
00:19:41,259 --> 00:19:43,671
Ah, God knows,
the city can
use the revenue.
469
00:19:43,928 --> 00:19:46,932
And no one's objecting
to more rental units.
470
00:19:46,998 --> 00:19:49,410
Especially since
the developer negotiated
471
00:19:49,467 --> 00:19:51,378
a set-aside for
low-income families.
472
00:19:51,469 --> 00:19:53,415
Were there any hearings,
any kind of forum?
473
00:19:53,704 --> 00:19:55,479
Where you can get
a transcript?
474
00:19:55,539 --> 00:19:58,019
Find out who objected
to the development?
475
00:19:58,409 --> 00:20:00,788
This isn't a First Amendment
issue, it's a murder case.
476
00:20:03,215 --> 00:20:05,525
No. There was
nothing official.
477
00:20:05,651 --> 00:20:07,653
Newspapers...
I've gone through
the press coverage.
478
00:20:08,587 --> 00:20:11,158
If I have to come back
with a subpoena, I will,
Ms. Malone.
479
00:20:14,126 --> 00:20:15,867
There was no transcript.
480
00:20:15,927 --> 00:20:17,907
But I saved the flyers.
481
00:20:19,097 --> 00:20:22,841
Just in case we ever
have to reach out to
some of the protest groups.
482
00:20:22,902 --> 00:20:25,280
Which we do,
on a regular basis.
483
00:20:25,338 --> 00:20:27,944
Always something
to get up in arms about, huh?
484
00:20:31,544 --> 00:20:33,956
Two dozen different flyers.
Three dozen different groups.
485
00:20:34,280 --> 00:20:36,760
Ah, the Left.
Two people,
three opinions.
486
00:20:36,849 --> 00:20:39,090
(CHUCKLES)
Most of the groups
were pretty ad-hoc.
487
00:20:39,218 --> 00:20:40,788
Phones have been
disconnected.
488
00:20:40,853 --> 00:20:41,924
What about the websites?
489
00:20:41,989 --> 00:20:44,094
Two are still online,
one's a local democratic club.
490
00:20:44,358 --> 00:20:46,531
Well, I've been burned
by them, but arsonists?
491
00:20:46,994 --> 00:20:49,065
The other group
calls itself "Coyote."
492
00:20:49,129 --> 00:20:51,302
Usual villains, NAFTA,
the World Bank.
493
00:20:51,365 --> 00:20:53,140
NAFTA? How do you
get from that
494
00:20:53,200 --> 00:20:54,941
to burning down
a building in Manhattan?
495
00:20:55,002 --> 00:20:56,379
"Save the community gardens.
496
00:20:56,437 --> 00:20:58,644
"Stop the rape
of our environment."
497
00:20:58,706 --> 00:21:02,085
Well, I guess a garden
is as close as we come
to nature around here, huh?
498
00:21:02,209 --> 00:21:03,746
"Come up with your own plan."
499
00:21:04,345 --> 00:21:06,951
You know, I have a friend
on a special task force
at the Bureau,
500
00:21:07,015 --> 00:21:08,392
see what he can
tell you about them.
501
00:21:10,952 --> 00:21:15,264
Coyote first
surfaced in Seattle
at these WTO protests.
502
00:21:15,323 --> 00:21:18,532
Until recently, they were
pretty much a Pacific
Northwest operation.
503
00:21:19,794 --> 00:21:21,137
Most of them
look like kids.
504
00:21:21,262 --> 00:21:23,299
Yeah. We're not talking
FBI's most wanted.
505
00:21:23,364 --> 00:21:26,938
Still, they have done
a substantial amount
of property damage.
506
00:21:27,503 --> 00:21:30,484
$14 million arson
at a Utah ski resort.
507
00:21:31,006 --> 00:21:33,577
Two million dollars' worth
at an Idaho lumber mill.
508
00:21:33,642 --> 00:21:37,681
So far, we've attributed
over $50 million damage
to them nationally.
509
00:21:37,747 --> 00:21:39,283
What's their record
on violence?
510
00:21:39,682 --> 00:21:41,628
They've been
very careful about that.
511
00:21:42,518 --> 00:21:45,659
You set fires,
there's gonna be
a fatality sooner or later.
512
00:21:46,590 --> 00:21:49,594
I'm surprised the FBI
hasn't done more
to prosecute them.
513
00:21:49,659 --> 00:21:51,036
You understand
the people I work for,
514
00:21:51,094 --> 00:21:53,574
they're used to a certain
leadership structure.
515
00:21:53,630 --> 00:21:55,166
FBI likes to see
a group like this
516
00:21:55,232 --> 00:21:56,711
on a nice, little flow chart.
517
00:21:56,867 --> 00:21:58,346
That way,
we line our ducks up.
518
00:21:58,401 --> 00:22:00,381
Only these people
aren't organized that way.
519
00:22:00,537 --> 00:22:02,483
TROST: These people are
not organized at all.
520
00:22:02,539 --> 00:22:06,181
Basically, these kids
jump in a car,
hop on a bus, a train,
521
00:22:06,244 --> 00:22:08,155
burn something down
and leave.
522
00:22:08,212 --> 00:22:10,624
Says here they've been quick
to claim responsibility.
523
00:22:10,915 --> 00:22:14,328
A lack of any statement
would seem to be
at odds with their MO.
524
00:22:14,385 --> 00:22:17,025
Well, maybe the girl's
death explains why
they haven't taken credit.
525
00:22:17,355 --> 00:22:20,234
Well, the profile's
young, affluent.
526
00:22:20,291 --> 00:22:22,032
Dead girl
could hurt recruitment.
527
00:22:22,527 --> 00:22:24,165
How do they claim credit?
528
00:22:24,228 --> 00:22:25,935
On a website.
Run by who?
529
00:22:26,398 --> 00:22:28,742
An organic farmer
in upstate New York.
530
00:22:30,636 --> 00:22:31,979
Paul Rochet.
531
00:22:33,105 --> 00:22:34,675
He's been
subpoenaed before.
532
00:22:34,740 --> 00:22:37,880
Oh, we've dragged
Mr. Rochet in front of
a dozen Grand Juries.
533
00:22:38,343 --> 00:22:40,448
Claims he doesn't know
anyone in the movement.
534
00:22:40,512 --> 00:22:42,822
Simply posts information
on a website.
535
00:22:42,948 --> 00:22:44,621
And lets the Internet
do the rest.
536
00:22:45,050 --> 00:22:46,688
TROST: Certainly
provides distance.
537
00:22:46,785 --> 00:22:49,062
What about the faces
from the gas station video?
538
00:22:49,122 --> 00:22:50,965
The local database
came up empty.
539
00:22:51,024 --> 00:22:52,935
We're running them national
as we speak.
540
00:22:54,127 --> 00:22:58,439
TECH: The photo recognition
system's the same one used at
airports and on the Chunnel.
541
00:22:58,498 --> 00:22:59,636
You know, between
London and Paris.
542
00:23:00,400 --> 00:23:02,402
And at the Superbowl.
I read about it in Newsweek.
543
00:23:02,468 --> 00:23:03,640
What's your database?
544
00:23:03,703 --> 00:23:06,309
Right now, it's mostly
criminal records and DMV.
545
00:23:06,372 --> 00:23:09,286
Eventually, we'll get
the ATM cameras,
department stores...
546
00:23:09,677 --> 00:23:12,089
You know how many hotels
have surveillance?
How many malls?
547
00:23:12,413 --> 00:23:13,892
Makes me want
to wear a mask.
548
00:23:13,948 --> 00:23:14,949
Wouldn't do any good.
549
00:23:15,015 --> 00:23:18,019
Infrared, thermo...
Masks, clothes,
we see right through.
550
00:23:18,519 --> 00:23:21,056
You'd think more
people would object,
but nobody bats an eye.
551
00:23:22,156 --> 00:23:25,160
Here we go. See?
She's in the databank.
552
00:23:26,026 --> 00:23:28,233
Just like the rest
of America pretty soon.
553
00:23:31,533 --> 00:23:33,945
Emily Hoyt, 18.
Pullman, Washington.
554
00:23:34,002 --> 00:23:35,845
Freshman at
Washington State University.
555
00:23:35,937 --> 00:23:37,177
Not anymore.
She dropped out.
556
00:23:37,239 --> 00:23:39,583
Arrested protesting
the WTO in Seattle.
557
00:23:39,641 --> 00:23:40,711
Do we know
where she is?
558
00:23:40,775 --> 00:23:41,879
I spoke with her parents
in Washington.
559
00:23:41,943 --> 00:23:44,082
They say she was traveling
to New York with friends.
560
00:23:44,145 --> 00:23:45,453
Did she tell them with who?
561
00:23:45,513 --> 00:23:48,960
She didn't give any names
Just a number where
she could be reached.
562
00:23:50,086 --> 00:23:51,656
I never heard of
any Emily Hoyt.
563
00:23:52,388 --> 00:23:55,767
She gave her parents
your phone number,
Mr. Quigley.
564
00:23:55,825 --> 00:23:57,236
Her father is very sick.
565
00:23:57,293 --> 00:23:59,204
She wanted to keep in touch.
They haven't heard from her.
566
00:23:59,328 --> 00:24:01,672
These are serious
charges.
567
00:24:01,731 --> 00:24:03,608
Arson,
second-degree murder.
568
00:24:03,666 --> 00:24:05,839
Fifteen years, minimum.
15 years?
569
00:24:06,469 --> 00:24:10,007
If you won't help us
find the people
who set this fire,
570
00:24:10,072 --> 00:24:12,019
I'll have no choice
but to hold you
responsible.
571
00:24:13,977 --> 00:24:15,183
What are we talking about?
572
00:24:15,245 --> 00:24:18,818
If we make an arrest
pursuant to your client's
information,
573
00:24:18,916 --> 00:24:21,863
I'd be willing to reduce
the top charge from
murder two to man one.
574
00:24:21,919 --> 00:24:22,920
He'd serve five years.
575
00:24:23,553 --> 00:24:24,691
Five years?
576
00:24:24,755 --> 00:24:27,668
You entered a conspiracy,
Mr. Quigley.
577
00:24:28,025 --> 00:24:30,733
A conspiracy that cost
a young woman's life.
578
00:24:30,994 --> 00:24:32,338
We were just trying
to make a statement.
579
00:24:34,465 --> 00:24:36,342
Nobody was
supposed to get hurt.
580
00:24:36,567 --> 00:24:38,376
Yes or no, Mr. Geary?
581
00:24:54,753 --> 00:24:56,960
I met Emily online.
582
00:25:00,459 --> 00:25:06,273
We wrote back and forth
about a lot of things.
Mostly politics.
583
00:25:06,932 --> 00:25:08,809
Environmental justice,
things like that.
584
00:25:08,968 --> 00:25:11,107
Did you ever mention
the community garden
protests?
585
00:25:11,336 --> 00:25:14,341
I grew vegetables
in that garden. I had
a real connection to it.
586
00:25:16,376 --> 00:25:19,380
I live in this city,
and I wanted her to know
how active I was.
587
00:25:19,446 --> 00:25:21,722
That I wasn't, you know,
a dilettante.
588
00:25:21,781 --> 00:25:23,556
Who are the two people
who came with her?
589
00:25:23,617 --> 00:25:25,654
They only used first names,
590
00:25:25,852 --> 00:25:27,854
Clark and Noah.
591
00:25:28,688 --> 00:25:31,328
They said it was better
if I didn't know
who they were.
592
00:25:31,391 --> 00:25:32,961
I agreed to give them
a place to stay.
593
00:25:33,026 --> 00:25:36,099
I lent them a credit card.
But that is all I did.
594
00:25:36,163 --> 00:25:38,165
You lent them a credit card
to buy gasoline.
595
00:25:38,232 --> 00:25:40,041
I'd say you did plenty.
596
00:25:40,101 --> 00:25:41,910
Where are they,
Mr. Quigley?
597
00:25:41,969 --> 00:25:45,314
I'm not sure.
I'm telling you all I know.
598
00:25:48,309 --> 00:25:50,380
They were gonna stay
somewhere else
once the fire was set.
599
00:25:52,213 --> 00:25:55,093
Stick around a couple of days
to put out some stuff
on Coyote's website.
600
00:25:55,651 --> 00:25:56,652
How are they traveling?
601
00:25:58,286 --> 00:25:59,492
By bus.
602
00:25:59,921 --> 00:26:02,162
We downloaded e-mails
from Quigley's computer.
603
00:26:02,290 --> 00:26:04,065
Yeah, we were able
to locate a number of them
604
00:26:04,126 --> 00:26:05,799
through a variety
of internet service providers.
605
00:26:05,861 --> 00:26:09,502
JACK: The e-mails were sent
from dial-up numbers
in Washington state.
606
00:26:10,298 --> 00:26:11,504
Emily Hoyt.
607
00:26:11,566 --> 00:26:14,012
And a week before the fire,
there was another e-mail.
608
00:26:14,069 --> 00:26:16,482
This time from a motel
in Dayton, Ohio.
609
00:26:17,473 --> 00:26:20,113
We have the motel's records?
Yeah.
610
00:26:20,610 --> 00:26:22,248
Three people.
Two men and a woman.
611
00:26:22,311 --> 00:26:24,587
They paid cash.
Registered under
assumed names.
612
00:26:24,647 --> 00:26:26,649
One of them made
a collect call to Oregon.
613
00:26:26,716 --> 00:26:28,491
The Mohrs of Bend, Oregon.
614
00:26:28,551 --> 00:26:31,054
The Mohrs have
one son, Clark, 19.
Attends Washington State.
615
00:26:31,254 --> 00:26:32,255
JACK: Same as Hoyt.
616
00:26:32,455 --> 00:26:35,265
We have terrorists
who are phoning their
parents from the road?
617
00:26:35,892 --> 00:26:37,395
Generation next.
618
00:26:37,795 --> 00:26:40,207
So, do we know where Hoyt
and Mohr are now?
619
00:26:40,297 --> 00:26:42,277
Well, Quigley doesn't think
they've left the city yet.
620
00:26:42,332 --> 00:26:43,504
Thinks they're
traveling by bus.
621
00:26:44,335 --> 00:26:46,110
Airlines require
a photo ID.
622
00:26:46,170 --> 00:26:48,446
I put the Port Authority
on full alert.
623
00:26:48,605 --> 00:26:50,346
And there is sort of
a spokesman for them.
624
00:26:52,876 --> 00:26:53,877
LEWIN: Well, he's local.
625
00:26:53,944 --> 00:26:56,390
Mmm-hmm.
He runs a farm
in upstate New York.
626
00:26:56,480 --> 00:26:58,154
Can we connect him
to this fire?
627
00:26:58,216 --> 00:26:59,991
Not with anything that
would hold up in court.
628
00:27:00,051 --> 00:27:02,053
Well, he sells
produce to Quigley's
food co-op.
629
00:27:02,120 --> 00:27:03,121
And when I called the Mohrs,
630
00:27:03,188 --> 00:27:04,326
they said their son
was coming east
631
00:27:04,389 --> 00:27:06,426
for a conference
on the environment.
632
00:27:06,491 --> 00:27:08,334
The keynote speaker
was Rochet.
633
00:27:08,660 --> 00:27:09,934
And the topic?
634
00:27:09,994 --> 00:27:12,304
The destruction of
greenery in our cities.
635
00:27:13,531 --> 00:27:15,477
LEWIN: And where is
Mr. Rochet now?
636
00:27:15,533 --> 00:27:17,513
He comes to the city
every other Tuesday.
637
00:27:17,569 --> 00:27:18,640
Well, the next time
he does,
638
00:27:18,704 --> 00:27:21,048
why don't we ask him over
for a conversation,
639
00:27:21,106 --> 00:27:23,017
and let's see
how he takes the heat.
640
00:27:24,176 --> 00:27:25,348
I'm not under arrest?
641
00:27:25,811 --> 00:27:27,415
JACK: What for?
Just checking.
642
00:27:27,813 --> 00:27:31,158
Do you run a website
for a group known
as Coyote, Mr. Rochet?
643
00:27:31,250 --> 00:27:33,924
To anticipate, yes,
I run the Coyote website.
644
00:27:33,986 --> 00:27:35,966
Yes, Coyote,
a very amorphous group
645
00:27:36,021 --> 00:27:38,331
has taken direct action to
defend the environment.
646
00:27:38,390 --> 00:27:40,268
Yes, I support
those actions.
647
00:27:40,327 --> 00:27:42,364
But, no,
I do not instigate them,
648
00:27:42,429 --> 00:27:45,308
I do not incite them,
I do not facilitate them
in any way.
649
00:27:45,365 --> 00:27:48,175
I merely disseminate
information and promote
the free exchange
650
00:27:48,235 --> 00:27:51,114
of ideas, neither
of which is illegal.
651
00:27:51,171 --> 00:27:53,481
I did some checking,
Mr. Rochet.
652
00:27:53,540 --> 00:27:57,078
You post information
about oil drilling
in the Alaskan wilderness.
653
00:27:57,144 --> 00:27:59,818
Three weeks later,
the drilling company's
bulldozers
654
00:27:59,880 --> 00:28:01,224
are destroyed by vandals.
655
00:28:01,282 --> 00:28:03,284
The same thing with
the ski resort in Utah.
656
00:28:03,351 --> 00:28:05,661
I post the truth.
I fail to see
the harm in that.
657
00:28:05,720 --> 00:28:07,791
This last speech
you gave at a conference
in New Paltz,
658
00:28:07,855 --> 00:28:09,562
you targeted
community gardens.
659
00:28:10,491 --> 00:28:11,765
Targeted?
Uh-huh.
660
00:28:12,193 --> 00:28:16,801
You saying you don't intend
these kids to take their
lead from your information?
661
00:28:16,898 --> 00:28:19,401
I'll comment on just about
anything but my intent.
662
00:28:19,467 --> 00:28:21,744
But I will say this,
fires have been set
663
00:28:21,804 --> 00:28:24,216
and fires will continue
to be set because
it is the right thing
664
00:28:24,273 --> 00:28:25,274
that they be set.
665
00:28:27,743 --> 00:28:29,984
Emily Hoyt, Clark Mohr.
666
00:28:30,946 --> 00:28:32,550
Do you know them, Mr. Rochet?
667
00:28:32,614 --> 00:28:35,254
I make it a point not
to familiarize myself
with anyone.
668
00:28:35,517 --> 00:28:38,088
Well, you must have
at least read about the
woman killed in this fire.
669
00:28:38,520 --> 00:28:39,590
If you're asking
if I regret
670
00:28:39,655 --> 00:28:41,657
the loss of a life, I do.
671
00:28:42,725 --> 00:28:44,932
Just as I regret
the loss of open space,
672
00:28:44,994 --> 00:28:46,905
and the degradation
of urban life
for the enrichment of
673
00:28:46,963 --> 00:28:48,840
the few at
the expense of many.
674
00:28:48,998 --> 00:28:51,205
That the best you can do,
Mr. Rochet? Rhetoric?
675
00:28:52,001 --> 00:28:55,414
Is that the best you can do,
Mr. McCoy? Sanctimony?
676
00:28:58,174 --> 00:28:59,812
I'm free to go, right?
677
00:29:04,815 --> 00:29:07,227
I don't regret anything
I've done, Mr. McCoy.
678
00:29:08,252 --> 00:29:10,562
I hope you never
have cause to regret
anything you do.
679
00:29:15,926 --> 00:29:18,133
Letting that guy walk out
the door's a start.
680
00:29:18,228 --> 00:29:19,229
(PHONE RINGING)
681
00:29:20,965 --> 00:29:22,876
Yeah? When?
682
00:29:24,102 --> 00:29:25,103
Thank you.
683
00:29:25,337 --> 00:29:27,613
Emily Hoyt was just spotted
at the Port Authority
bus station.
684
00:29:28,840 --> 00:29:31,116
Clerk says
three individuals
matching our descriptions
685
00:29:31,176 --> 00:29:32,780
just bought tickets
for a bus to Chicago.
686
00:29:32,844 --> 00:29:35,154
Where?
Platform 64.
They're holding the bus.
687
00:29:38,616 --> 00:29:41,563
Hey, trail mix.
Keep your hands
where I can see 'em.
688
00:29:41,619 --> 00:29:42,927
Up against the bus.
689
00:29:45,291 --> 00:29:47,498
Now that's disappointing.
Don't you know
smoking's bad for you?
690
00:29:47,560 --> 00:29:48,766
Come here.
691
00:29:52,665 --> 00:29:55,646
You know, other than
some protests,
disorderly conduct,
692
00:29:55,701 --> 00:29:58,477
all political stuff,
they really don't
have records.
693
00:29:58,537 --> 00:30:01,313
Which doesn't mean
they haven't set
other fires.
694
00:30:01,374 --> 00:30:03,581
Say we prosecute
them for murder.
695
00:30:04,110 --> 00:30:06,682
You really think
some other kid's
gonna blow out his match
696
00:30:06,747 --> 00:30:08,283
because of what we did?
697
00:30:08,348 --> 00:30:11,192
Deterrence is one goal.
Punishment's another.
698
00:30:11,251 --> 00:30:15,893
So you'd draw no distinction
between arson for profit
and arson for an ideal?
699
00:30:16,423 --> 00:30:19,597
I doubt Melanie Fried would,
and the law clearly doesn't.
700
00:30:20,227 --> 00:30:22,138
Have you talked
to any of them yet?
701
00:30:22,195 --> 00:30:23,868
They're being arraigned.
702
00:30:23,930 --> 00:30:27,140
Good. Maybe a night
at Rikers will
loosen their tongues.
703
00:30:27,201 --> 00:30:28,339
About Rochet?
704
00:30:28,403 --> 00:30:31,907
It's common sense.
I mean, someone put Quigley
in touch with those kids.
705
00:30:32,507 --> 00:30:34,783
If you're so hell bent
on handing out punishment,
706
00:30:34,842 --> 00:30:37,448
let's mete it out
to somebody old enough
to appreciate it.
707
00:30:37,512 --> 00:30:39,788
If Rochet was involved,
it was in cyberspace.
708
00:30:39,847 --> 00:30:41,326
Common sense
doesn't apply there.
709
00:30:41,382 --> 00:30:43,589
The fire was started
in his neighborhood,
710
00:30:43,651 --> 00:30:45,460
not clear
across the country.
711
00:30:45,520 --> 00:30:47,558
Maybe he wanted to
do something more
than type this time.
712
00:30:50,392 --> 00:30:54,363
I always tell my clients,
"Beware D.A.'s
bearing gifts.
713
00:30:54,430 --> 00:30:56,967
"They generally demand
more than they offer."
714
00:30:57,032 --> 00:30:59,273
What I'm offering is
a decade of their lives.
715
00:30:59,768 --> 00:31:01,645
Out of the goodness
of your heart.
716
00:31:02,037 --> 00:31:04,574
My boss has no interest
in punishing your clients
717
00:31:04,640 --> 00:31:07,143
and letting others
responsible for
this fire go free.
718
00:31:07,209 --> 00:31:11,818
I suspect your primary
interest is winning
a high-profile media case.
719
00:31:11,881 --> 00:31:14,293
We're not the ones
who've spent
the last 30 years
720
00:31:14,351 --> 00:31:16,763
using radical causes
to grandstand
with the press.
721
00:31:16,820 --> 00:31:19,323
Well, my record
speaks for itself.
722
00:31:19,556 --> 00:31:22,127
A record which includes
defending cop killers.
723
00:31:22,192 --> 00:31:25,469
I love it when young D.A.'s
claim the system's rigged.
724
00:31:25,528 --> 00:31:27,804
This isn't about
ideology, counselor.
725
00:31:27,864 --> 00:31:30,141
This is about
three young lives
and what we, in this room,
726
00:31:30,201 --> 00:31:32,841
are going to do
to see that
they aren't wasted.
727
00:31:33,237 --> 00:31:34,910
What is it you want?
728
00:31:34,972 --> 00:31:37,714
Your clients attended
a conference in New Paltz
729
00:31:38,542 --> 00:31:40,783
a couple of weeks
before the fire was set.
730
00:31:40,845 --> 00:31:43,052
One of the speakers
there was Paul Rochet.
731
00:31:43,814 --> 00:31:46,727
Rochet? Uh, what does
he have to do with this?
732
00:31:47,151 --> 00:31:49,324
We know
about the website,
Mr. Stadler.
733
00:31:49,387 --> 00:31:50,560
And the speech.
734
00:31:50,622 --> 00:31:52,431
How he encouraged you
to burn down that building.
735
00:31:52,491 --> 00:31:53,697
That's not what he said.
736
00:31:54,159 --> 00:31:56,332
I assume
we're off the record?
737
00:31:59,231 --> 00:32:01,177
You think Rochet
tells us what to do?
738
00:32:02,567 --> 00:32:04,410
"Come up with your own plan."
739
00:32:05,704 --> 00:32:08,514
I think Rochet
identifies targets
740
00:32:09,107 --> 00:32:12,749
and avoids criminal liability
by hiding behind this website.
741
00:32:12,812 --> 00:32:14,883
Dude, you are so
far out of touch.
742
00:32:14,947 --> 00:32:20,761
The last six areas
mentioned on Rochet's website
fell victim to arson.
743
00:32:22,455 --> 00:32:24,332
Do you expect me to believe
that's a coincidence?
744
00:32:24,390 --> 00:32:27,803
They're poisoning
our water, our food.
745
00:32:28,327 --> 00:32:30,603
I mean, Rochet just
wants people to know
what's happening.
746
00:32:30,663 --> 00:32:32,803
He's up on that farm
pulling the strings,
747
00:32:32,866 --> 00:32:35,972
and you three are too young
or too stupid to realize it.
748
00:32:36,036 --> 00:32:40,109
I'm not sure insulting
them's the best way
to gain their confidence.
749
00:32:40,174 --> 00:32:41,244
JACK: This time a woman died.
750
00:32:41,308 --> 00:32:42,378
McCoy.
751
00:32:42,443 --> 00:32:43,820
It's time they
grew up, counselor.
752
00:32:43,877 --> 00:32:46,915
You call it growing up.
We call it giving up.
753
00:32:50,951 --> 00:32:53,796
You can't answer that
with slogans, Mr. Stadler.
754
00:32:53,855 --> 00:32:54,959
EMILY: Oh, my God.
755
00:32:55,723 --> 00:32:59,034
She was a school teacher.
Devoted to children.
756
00:32:59,694 --> 00:33:02,641
That's the end
of this conversation.
Let's go.
757
00:33:03,031 --> 00:33:05,238
JACK: She was 24 years old.
758
00:33:05,300 --> 00:33:07,576
Only a year or so
older than you, Ms. Hoyt.
759
00:33:07,635 --> 00:33:09,273
I said, that's enough.
760
00:33:14,043 --> 00:33:16,319
Think they allow organic
produce in prison?
761
00:33:18,714 --> 00:33:20,716
They fell on their swords.
762
00:33:21,684 --> 00:33:24,130
I'm not sure they ever
had Rochet to give us.
763
00:33:24,186 --> 00:33:25,665
So we make
examples of them?
764
00:33:25,721 --> 00:33:27,564
They've made examples
of themselves.
765
00:33:27,623 --> 00:33:32,299
You can't protest and demand
accountability of others,
and then not accept your own.
766
00:33:32,828 --> 00:33:36,402
No movement was ever stopped
by making martyrs
of the foot soldiers, Jack.
767
00:33:36,466 --> 00:33:39,140
I don't intend to
let them go down
that nobly.
768
00:33:40,904 --> 00:33:43,145
What makes us
so stupid
when we're 20.
769
00:33:48,245 --> 00:33:51,783
KENT: I knew Emily...
Uh, Ms. Hoyt,
from the Internet.
770
00:33:53,383 --> 00:33:56,991
Uh, Mr. Mohr and Mr. Stadler,
I didn't know their names.
771
00:33:57,121 --> 00:33:59,362
They came to New York
with Emily.
772
00:34:00,024 --> 00:34:01,662
They crashed with me
773
00:34:01,726 --> 00:34:04,832
when they came to New York to
burn down that building.
774
00:34:04,896 --> 00:34:06,136
Objection.
775
00:34:06,497 --> 00:34:07,669
Sustained.
776
00:34:08,266 --> 00:34:11,304
Did they discuss with you
the purpose of their visit
to New York?
777
00:34:11,869 --> 00:34:13,109
Objection.
778
00:34:13,271 --> 00:34:14,614
JUDGE: Overruled.
779
00:34:15,306 --> 00:34:17,810
They said they were here
to commit an action.
780
00:34:18,744 --> 00:34:20,314
To burn down
the building that
781
00:34:20,379 --> 00:34:22,655
had been built over
the community garden.
782
00:34:22,714 --> 00:34:24,887
That's the word
they used? An action?
783
00:34:24,950 --> 00:34:26,054
That's what
they called it.
784
00:34:26,118 --> 00:34:29,292
And to your knowledge,
did the defendants
carry out this action?
785
00:34:30,122 --> 00:34:32,625
They bought
a jug of gas and
786
00:34:34,026 --> 00:34:35,699
two alarm systems.
787
00:34:38,264 --> 00:34:42,235
People's "A" and "B",
Your Honor.
788
00:34:44,070 --> 00:34:47,142
And on the night in question,
did you see the defendants?
789
00:34:47,206 --> 00:34:50,619
They left my apartment
about 6:30...
790
00:34:51,844 --> 00:34:56,190
They came back, maybe,
9:00-9:30. I'm not sure.
791
00:34:56,683 --> 00:34:57,856
There was a lot going on.
792
00:34:58,285 --> 00:34:59,593
JACK: A lot going on?
793
00:35:00,287 --> 00:35:01,925
They had heard
on the news
that some woman
794
00:35:01,989 --> 00:35:04,492
had been killed in the fire,
and they were pretty upset.
795
00:35:04,558 --> 00:35:06,299
Everyone talking at once.
796
00:35:06,494 --> 00:35:07,871
What were they saying?
797
00:35:07,928 --> 00:35:09,498
Noah was yelling at Clark.
798
00:35:09,563 --> 00:35:12,100
Saying Clark
was supposed to
check the building.
799
00:35:12,800 --> 00:35:15,212
Uh, Clark said no one
was supposed to be there.
800
00:35:15,602 --> 00:35:16,706
Things like that.
801
00:35:18,673 --> 00:35:19,879
And Emily...
802
00:35:20,575 --> 00:35:21,713
Emily was crying.
803
00:35:21,776 --> 00:35:24,416
She kept saying,
over and over,
804
00:35:24,946 --> 00:35:26,687
"Nobody was supposed to die."
805
00:35:27,182 --> 00:35:28,388
Nothing further.
806
00:35:32,587 --> 00:35:36,364
Mr. Quigley,
the evening in question,
807
00:35:37,259 --> 00:35:38,567
when they left
your apartment,
808
00:35:38,627 --> 00:35:40,266
were you with the defendants?
809
00:35:40,329 --> 00:35:41,399
No, sir.
810
00:35:41,464 --> 00:35:45,879
So you don't really know
who did what that night,
do you?
811
00:35:45,968 --> 00:35:47,003
No.
812
00:35:47,069 --> 00:35:48,810
WHITTEN: And when
they came back,
813
00:35:48,871 --> 00:35:52,819
it was your impression
my clients were upset
814
00:35:52,875 --> 00:35:54,548
about the death
of Ms. Fried?
815
00:35:54,910 --> 00:35:56,218
They were very upset.
816
00:35:56,345 --> 00:35:59,349
WHITTEN: Because
the taking of human life
817
00:35:59,415 --> 00:36:02,226
wasn't at all the purpose
of this fire, was it?
818
00:36:02,285 --> 00:36:03,320
Objection.
819
00:36:03,387 --> 00:36:06,698
Defendants are charged
with an intentional crime,
Your Honor.
820
00:36:06,757 --> 00:36:08,794
They're lives hang
in the balance.
821
00:36:09,760 --> 00:36:12,366
I'll allow it. And watch
your step, counselor.
822
00:36:14,798 --> 00:36:15,936
Mr. Quigley?
823
00:36:19,736 --> 00:36:22,274
There was a beautiful
garden on that lot.
824
00:36:23,975 --> 00:36:25,613
People grew things.
825
00:36:25,677 --> 00:36:28,248
Kids had a chance
to put their hands
in the dirt.
826
00:36:28,713 --> 00:36:31,887
Then... Then this
developer comes,
827
00:36:32,183 --> 00:36:37,257
bulldozes the whole thing,
paves it over like it had
never been there at all.
828
00:36:41,961 --> 00:36:43,235
That was the purpose.
829
00:36:45,731 --> 00:36:47,506
To tell the world we cared.
830
00:36:52,438 --> 00:36:54,281
SERENA: Kids
playing in the sun.
831
00:36:54,340 --> 00:36:56,616
At the end there,
it felt more like
an Earth Day celebration
832
00:36:56,675 --> 00:36:57,983
than a murder trial.
833
00:36:58,043 --> 00:37:00,523
Whitten doesn't
get cop killers off
by accident.
834
00:37:00,579 --> 00:37:01,785
Well, at least
we still have Shollar.
835
00:37:01,847 --> 00:37:03,191
He can put Hoyt
at the scene.
836
00:37:03,249 --> 00:37:06,230
Whitten will
portray Shollar
as a cheating spouse,
837
00:37:06,286 --> 00:37:09,460
who abandoned his lover
in her time of need.
838
00:37:09,522 --> 00:37:11,263
Won't help
his credibility much.
839
00:37:11,591 --> 00:37:13,298
What about flipping
one of them?
840
00:37:13,360 --> 00:37:15,533
Divide and conquer?
Over Whitten's dead body.
841
00:37:15,595 --> 00:37:16,835
Motion to sever?
842
00:37:17,731 --> 00:37:19,677
I don't feel like
losing three trials.
843
00:37:20,166 --> 00:37:22,271
So, the law lets
these kids try
and bury the truth
844
00:37:22,335 --> 00:37:23,872
about this case
in a little garden?
845
00:37:23,938 --> 00:37:26,851
Eventually, you reap
what you sow.
846
00:37:32,413 --> 00:37:34,120
This was
a gasoline-based fire.
847
00:37:34,181 --> 00:37:37,424
It burned very quickly
and produced an intense heat.
848
00:37:37,485 --> 00:37:40,694
Your arson report
indicates four firemen
were overcome by smoke.
849
00:37:40,755 --> 00:37:43,201
LEY: Yes,
there was a tremendous
amount of smoke.
850
00:37:43,491 --> 00:37:45,870
Apparently, they were
laying the carpets
in the common areas,
851
00:37:45,927 --> 00:37:47,634
so the padding was in rolls.
852
00:37:47,696 --> 00:37:48,970
And once that went up...
853
00:37:51,399 --> 00:37:53,345
Looking at
People's exhibit "C,"
854
00:37:54,036 --> 00:37:57,313
the apartment
where Melanie Fried's
body was found,
855
00:37:57,839 --> 00:37:59,409
what was her chance
of surviving?
856
00:37:59,474 --> 00:38:00,680
Objection.
857
00:38:01,276 --> 00:38:04,849
Judge, a great deal
has been made of
the precision of this fire,
858
00:38:04,913 --> 00:38:07,224
how it was intended
to avoid injury.
859
00:38:08,151 --> 00:38:09,960
I think it's only fair
for the jury,
860
00:38:10,019 --> 00:38:14,365
to be afforded some insight
into what chance Melanie
Fried had to escape.
861
00:38:15,825 --> 00:38:18,271
You did open the door
to intent, Mr. Whitten.
862
00:38:18,728 --> 00:38:20,230
You can answer
the question.
863
00:38:21,264 --> 00:38:24,575
In my opinion,
Melanie Fried had
no chance of escape.
864
00:38:24,634 --> 00:38:25,669
Why not?
865
00:38:25,735 --> 00:38:27,511
Well, within
a matter of seconds,
866
00:38:27,571 --> 00:38:29,608
the room would have
been filled with smoke.
867
00:38:29,673 --> 00:38:32,279
Her last moments
would have been
in total blackness,
868
00:38:32,342 --> 00:38:33,719
struggling for air.
869
00:38:34,411 --> 00:38:36,891
If you can imagine
a person drowning in smoke.
870
00:38:40,451 --> 00:38:41,930
What about the fact
871
00:38:41,985 --> 00:38:45,956
that the fire
was set in the center
of the hallway?
872
00:38:46,690 --> 00:38:48,637
LEY: Very good
for letting firemen in.
873
00:38:48,693 --> 00:38:50,832
Not so good for letting
other people out.
874
00:38:52,330 --> 00:38:53,809
What about the heat?
875
00:38:54,332 --> 00:38:55,436
Searing.
876
00:38:55,834 --> 00:38:59,680
As the fire spread,
the room would have
been like an oven.
877
00:39:01,039 --> 00:39:04,987
So before Melanie Fried
mercifully passed out,
878
00:39:05,543 --> 00:39:06,817
she would have been
cooking to death.
879
00:39:07,846 --> 00:39:09,052
WHITTEN: Your Honor...
880
00:39:09,615 --> 00:39:10,958
JUDGE: Mr. McCoy.
881
00:39:14,620 --> 00:39:15,724
Nothing further.
882
00:39:22,194 --> 00:39:24,606
You understand
the consequences
of pleading guilty?
883
00:39:24,663 --> 00:39:26,199
I just want
this to be over.
884
00:39:27,133 --> 00:39:29,307
Emily is prepared
to implicate
her co-defendants.
885
00:39:30,904 --> 00:39:32,542
What's she expecting
in return?
886
00:39:33,140 --> 00:39:36,747
I can't be a party
to those negotiations,
Mr. McCoy.
887
00:39:37,577 --> 00:39:40,353
At this point,
I'm recusing myself
as her counsel.
888
00:39:41,515 --> 00:39:43,825
Nonetheless, I thought
I had an obligation
889
00:39:43,884 --> 00:39:47,457
as an officer of the court
to advise you
of my client's wishes.
890
00:39:48,054 --> 00:39:50,262
We appreciate your position,
Mr. Whitten.
891
00:39:50,324 --> 00:39:51,928
SERENA: What
about the other two?
892
00:39:54,061 --> 00:39:56,041
They understand
once she testifies,
893
00:39:56,364 --> 00:39:57,968
a plea won't
be re-offered?
894
00:39:58,766 --> 00:40:02,441
My clients are at
an age when ideals
still mean something.
895
00:40:14,116 --> 00:40:15,390
So what happens now?
896
00:40:16,485 --> 00:40:19,329
New counsel will be appointed
to discuss a plea bargain.
897
00:40:20,122 --> 00:40:21,897
Jail time will be involved.
898
00:40:23,492 --> 00:40:24,766
I understand.
899
00:40:34,237 --> 00:40:37,411
You're asking me
to get on my website
and tell everybody to stop.
900
00:40:37,473 --> 00:40:40,852
Not protests, Mr. Rochet.
Just the violence.
901
00:40:41,344 --> 00:40:43,688
And in return you'll make
a reasonable sentencing
902
00:40:43,746 --> 00:40:45,885
recommendations
for Stadler and Mohr?
903
00:40:47,250 --> 00:40:50,288
I'm no lawyer, Mr. McCoy,
but that doesn't sound kosher.
904
00:40:51,321 --> 00:40:52,665
Yes or no?
905
00:40:54,658 --> 00:40:56,638
What makes you think
they would listen?
906
00:40:56,694 --> 00:40:59,675
Right or wrong,
these kids
read your website.
907
00:41:00,097 --> 00:41:04,204
They read about Coyote
burning down resorts
and attacking laboratories.
908
00:41:04,702 --> 00:41:06,704
They want to
emulate your actions.
909
00:41:08,138 --> 00:41:09,310
If you were to
denounce them...
910
00:41:09,373 --> 00:41:11,979
They'd call me a turncoat,
and they'd go somewhere else.
911
00:41:13,078 --> 00:41:14,921
You support terrorism.
912
00:41:14,980 --> 00:41:17,688
I have blood on my hands?
Is that what you're saying?
913
00:41:18,617 --> 00:41:20,153
Why not prosecute me then?
914
00:41:21,252 --> 00:41:24,392
There's legal
and moral guilt.
915
00:41:24,589 --> 00:41:27,866
And all those people
with emphysema who suffocate
because of pollution
916
00:41:27,926 --> 00:41:30,270
the same way that woman
suffocated in that fire?
917
00:41:30,328 --> 00:41:34,641
Or drink toxic water
because of the chemicals
leeching into the watershed?
918
00:41:34,967 --> 00:41:37,106
Spare me.
I know the speech.
919
00:41:39,271 --> 00:41:41,410
Young people believe
the world can change.
920
00:41:41,474 --> 00:41:43,078
I won't tell them it can't.
921
00:41:43,776 --> 00:41:45,949
So teach them how
to really change it.
922
00:41:51,317 --> 00:41:52,887
They're kids, Mr. Rochet.
923
00:41:57,524 --> 00:41:59,663
Every war has its casualties.
924
00:42:11,138 --> 00:42:12,845
When Kent...
JACK: Mr. Quigley.
925
00:42:13,473 --> 00:42:17,012
Told me about the fight
over the community gardens,
926
00:42:17,311 --> 00:42:18,654
that's when we...
927
00:42:19,981 --> 00:42:23,758
Clark and Noah,
Mr. Mohr
and Mr. Stadler...
928
00:42:24,018 --> 00:42:25,759
That's when
we decided to do it.
929
00:42:26,654 --> 00:42:27,860
To do what?
930
00:42:29,958 --> 00:42:31,198
Set the fire.
931
00:42:31,826 --> 00:42:33,703
To burn down
the apartment building.
932
00:42:34,128 --> 00:42:35,903
But as a protest.
933
00:42:36,331 --> 00:42:39,040
Cities are so crowded,
so messed up,
934
00:42:39,101 --> 00:42:42,810
and they keep building
big skyscrapers
that block out the sun.
935
00:42:43,472 --> 00:42:46,749
People don't have any access
to green, to the earth.
936
00:42:46,809 --> 00:42:48,846
They don't even know
what they're missing.
937
00:42:48,911 --> 00:42:51,221
We're destroying this planet.
938
00:42:51,280 --> 00:42:54,090
It gets worse every year,
and nobody does
anything about it.
939
00:42:54,149 --> 00:42:57,791
And we just thought,
"Shouldn't somebody
put a stop to it?"
940
00:42:59,155 --> 00:43:01,829
Shouldn't we do everything
we can to stop that?
941
00:43:03,493 --> 00:43:06,372
We didn't know
there was anyone inside.
942
00:43:20,044 --> 00:43:21,455
Top count conviction.
943
00:43:22,079 --> 00:43:23,456
Emily Hoyt's testimony.
944
00:43:24,048 --> 00:43:25,288
What's she getting?
945
00:43:26,817 --> 00:43:28,956
Five years.
Same as Quigley.
946
00:43:29,086 --> 00:43:30,622
And the other defendants?
947
00:43:32,690 --> 00:43:34,294
They were given
every chance.
948
00:43:36,961 --> 00:43:40,432
Two coyotes turned into
sacrificial lambs.
949
00:43:42,667 --> 00:43:43,839
(SIGHS)
