1
00:00:00,334 --> 00:00:03,669
In the criminal justice system,
the people are represented
2
00:00:03,670 --> 00:00:07,005
by two separate,
yet equally important groups:
3
00:00:07,008 --> 00:00:09,125
the police,
who investigate crime,
4
00:00:09,126 --> 00:00:11,243
and the district attorneys
who prosecute the offenders.
5
00:00:11,245 --> 00:00:13,312
These are their stories.
6
00:00:18,552 --> 00:00:20,619
( garbled radio transmission )
7
00:00:22,223 --> 00:00:27,192
Course 1502,
Wednesdays, 7:00.
8
00:00:27,194 --> 00:00:30,596
College degree
isn't good enough for you.
9
00:00:30,598 --> 00:00:32,498
Something wrong
with me improving myself?
10
00:00:32,500 --> 00:00:34,199
Improve my stomach.
11
00:00:34,201 --> 00:00:35,467
Roast beef on rye.
12
00:00:35,469 --> 00:00:37,486
Coffee...
13
00:00:37,487 --> 00:00:39,504
BOTH:
Very light, no sugar,
no mayo, no mustard.
14
00:00:39,507 --> 00:00:41,407
Very good.
15
00:00:47,214 --> 00:00:48,647
( men arguing )
16
00:00:48,649 --> 00:00:50,582
You get off my back!
17
00:00:50,584 --> 00:00:52,151
Get!
18
00:00:53,621 --> 00:00:57,656
( siren blaring,
tires squealing )
19
00:01:11,572 --> 00:01:13,539
Hold it!
20
00:01:15,276 --> 00:01:17,276
Don't move!
21
00:01:17,278 --> 00:01:19,645
Don't even breathe.
22
00:01:23,584 --> 00:01:25,150
Drop down!
23
00:01:25,152 --> 00:01:27,086
Now!
24
00:01:27,588 --> 00:01:29,555
( gunshot )
25
00:01:45,606 --> 00:01:47,639
He drew on me.
26
00:02:05,359 --> 00:02:07,526
Call it in, Freddo.
27
00:02:09,663 --> 00:02:11,563
Now, Freddo.
28
00:02:12,633 --> 00:02:14,700
The kid's dead.
29
00:02:30,284 --> 00:02:38,390
Captioning sponsored by
NBC/Universal
30
00:03:26,540 --> 00:03:29,608
( siren wailing )
31
00:03:47,828 --> 00:03:50,462
The kid I was after,
I never got a decent look at.
32
00:03:50,464 --> 00:03:53,465
He was young-- 13,14.
33
00:03:53,467 --> 00:03:55,000
What about the one
that got away from Freddo?
34
00:03:55,002 --> 00:03:56,335
Him I saw.
35
00:03:56,337 --> 00:03:57,603
Had a blotch.
36
00:03:57,605 --> 00:03:59,504
A birthmark on his face
37
00:03:59,506 --> 00:04:02,975
running from here
down to here.
38
00:04:06,947 --> 00:04:09,281
Somebody heard
that shot.
39
00:04:09,283 --> 00:04:10,549
In this neighborhood?
40
00:04:10,551 --> 00:04:13,518
You couldn't get
a witness to a sunrise.
41
00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:14,953
Well, bang on some windows.
42
00:04:14,955 --> 00:04:16,955
I.D. on the dead kid?
43
00:04:16,957 --> 00:04:19,491
Nothing.
Great.
44
00:04:19,493 --> 00:04:20,859
Freddo, go home.
45
00:04:20,861 --> 00:04:22,461
Get some sleep.
46
00:04:22,463 --> 00:04:24,529
Yeah... sleep.
47
00:04:26,867 --> 00:04:31,303
Snitch told them drug sales
was going down on the block.
48
00:04:31,305 --> 00:04:32,571
No muss, no fuss.
49
00:04:32,573 --> 00:04:34,573
Punk drew on him,
self-defense.
50
00:04:34,575 --> 00:04:36,375
That's it,
wrapping up?
51
00:04:36,377 --> 00:04:39,311
As far as Internal Affairs is
concerned, yeah, it's closed.
52
00:04:39,313 --> 00:04:41,713
We still got to do
our investigation.
53
00:04:41,715 --> 00:04:43,715
We're all one
family here,
Sergeant.
54
00:04:43,717 --> 00:04:45,450
You an only child?
55
00:04:45,452 --> 00:04:47,386
I got people
in my family
56
00:04:47,388 --> 00:04:48,587
I wouldn't believe
57
00:04:48,589 --> 00:04:51,423
if they told me
the sky was blue.
58
00:04:51,425 --> 00:04:53,558
You think I like
investigating cops?
59
00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:55,661
It's like I've got something
stuck in my throat.
60
00:04:55,663 --> 00:04:57,596
It's not what it looked
like to that lieutenant--
61
00:04:57,598 --> 00:05:00,332
what's his name?-- Gowdy
from Internal Affairs.
62
00:05:00,334 --> 00:05:01,600
What, open-and-shut?
63
00:05:01,602 --> 00:05:02,734
You buy that?
64
00:05:02,736 --> 00:05:04,736
What are you
selling, Max?
65
00:05:04,738 --> 00:05:07,339
No witnesses,
a dead kid.
So?
66
00:05:07,341 --> 00:05:10,475
If a civilian shot a kid,
no witnesses, all I'm saying is,
67
00:05:10,477 --> 00:05:13,478
they wouldn't wrap it up
in ten minutes.
68
00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:15,714
Four dollars an hour I pay him.
69
00:05:15,716 --> 00:05:17,616
Good money for delivery.
70
00:05:17,618 --> 00:05:19,318
Disappears.
71
00:05:19,319 --> 00:05:21,019
This shooting
in the neighborhood.
72
00:05:21,021 --> 00:05:22,587
You hear about it?
73
00:05:22,589 --> 00:05:24,623
We're canvassing
all the merchants, looking for
74
00:05:24,625 --> 00:05:30,028
a young man, 22-23, black,
with a birthmark on his cheek.
75
00:05:30,030 --> 00:05:33,532
I got five orders
waiting to deliver.
76
00:05:33,534 --> 00:05:35,134
How long do you
have to wait
77
00:05:35,135 --> 00:05:36,735
before you report
somebody missing, huh?
78
00:05:36,737 --> 00:05:38,637
A birthmark?
79
00:05:38,639 --> 00:05:39,738
Like this?
80
00:05:39,740 --> 00:05:42,507
He comes in every afternoon.
81
00:05:42,509 --> 00:05:45,644
He buys two chocolate moon pies.
Two.
82
00:05:45,646 --> 00:05:47,512
Hangs out in the schoolyard.
83
00:05:47,514 --> 00:05:51,083
( hip-hop music playing )
84
00:05:51,085 --> 00:05:53,652
How you doing?
85
00:05:53,654 --> 00:05:55,087
( rapping ):
You ain't cool.
86
00:05:55,089 --> 00:05:57,089
Get out of my school.
87
00:05:57,091 --> 00:05:58,623
I'm no fool.
88
00:05:58,625 --> 00:06:01,093
You see a guy
with a birthmark
on his face?
89
00:06:01,095 --> 00:06:04,363
The name of the game
is finding fame.
90
00:06:04,365 --> 00:06:05,597
Silky's the name
91
00:06:05,599 --> 00:06:06,965
and he's to blame.
Silky?
92
00:06:06,967 --> 00:06:08,567
I wouldn't tell them nothing.
93
00:06:08,569 --> 00:06:10,502
Silky who?
94
00:06:10,504 --> 00:06:14,539
Ford. Lives over
on Vyse Avenue, 108.
95
00:06:22,750 --> 00:06:24,616
Silky... Silky Ford.
96
00:06:24,618 --> 00:06:26,385
Live around here?
97
00:06:26,387 --> 00:06:28,653
Don't I wish
he didn't.
98
00:06:28,655 --> 00:06:30,522
Hmm. One of
your favorites, huh?
99
00:06:30,524 --> 00:06:35,160
Some boys make trouble
'cause they got trouble.
100
00:06:35,162 --> 00:06:38,096
Silky? He's looking
for trouble.
101
00:06:38,098 --> 00:06:39,698
What'd he do, walk off
a white man?
102
00:06:39,700 --> 00:06:41,800
Is it this building here?
103
00:06:41,802 --> 00:06:45,737
You all only come up here
when a white man gets hurt.
104
00:06:45,739 --> 00:06:48,440
Why aren't you here
all the time?
105
00:06:48,442 --> 00:06:50,008
Silky Ford?
106
00:06:50,010 --> 00:06:52,444
Fourth floor.
107
00:06:52,446 --> 00:06:55,113
He just come in.
108
00:06:55,115 --> 00:06:56,581
Nah, man,
nobody here but me.
109
00:06:56,583 --> 00:06:57,716
Let's take a look.
110
00:06:57,718 --> 00:07:00,152
Oh, no, you're blind
without a warrant!
111
00:07:00,154 --> 00:07:03,172
Well, let me see that.
112
00:07:03,173 --> 00:07:06,191
GREEVEY:
Black male, 5'7",
birthmark on his right cheek.
113
00:07:06,193 --> 00:07:08,193
Birth mark, right cheek.
114
00:07:08,195 --> 00:07:11,062
Oh, yeah, that
sound like Silky.
115
00:07:11,064 --> 00:07:13,265
You seen him lately?
116
00:07:13,266 --> 00:07:15,467
No. He's been in
Philadelphia,
visiting his sister.
117
00:07:15,469 --> 00:07:19,638
She's in the
hospital. Mumps.
118
00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:21,173
Whoa, be gentle!
119
00:07:21,175 --> 00:07:23,508
You want
to tear my suits?
120
00:07:23,510 --> 00:07:24,743
Where you going, man?
121
00:07:24,745 --> 00:07:26,178
That's just the kitchen.
122
00:07:26,180 --> 00:07:27,813
Ain't nobody in there.
123
00:07:32,186 --> 00:07:34,753
Waxing the floor, Silky?
124
00:07:34,755 --> 00:07:38,623
Yeah, yeah,
we're cleaning up.
125
00:07:38,625 --> 00:07:39,825
Whoa, man!
126
00:07:39,827 --> 00:07:41,193
Who did you clean up
last night?
127
00:07:41,195 --> 00:07:43,662
I was home
all night long.
128
00:07:43,664 --> 00:07:44,763
Doing the floor?
Yeah.
129
00:07:44,765 --> 00:07:46,765
They got dirty
real fast.
130
00:07:46,767 --> 00:07:48,200
We had a party.
131
00:07:48,202 --> 00:07:49,634
Who was here?
132
00:07:49,636 --> 00:07:51,236
Me and Richard.
It was a private party.
133
00:07:51,238 --> 00:07:53,104
Let's takes a ride,
Silky, huh?
134
00:07:53,106 --> 00:07:55,640
I got, I got things to do,
man. I got a busy day...
135
00:07:55,642 --> 00:07:58,777
Your first appointment
is with us, okay?
136
00:07:58,779 --> 00:08:00,645
What you looking at?
Let go, man.
137
00:08:00,647 --> 00:08:04,483
GREEVEY:
Take Davis out the back
before Freddo comes in.
138
00:08:04,485 --> 00:08:06,852
Davis?
139
00:08:06,854 --> 00:08:09,654
What, you think he's going
to lie for Freddo?
140
00:08:09,656 --> 00:08:13,124
No, they're
both choirboys.
141
00:08:13,126 --> 00:08:15,794
Ready?
Yeah. I even found
another black guy
142
00:08:15,796 --> 00:08:17,529
with a birthmark.
Go ahead.
143
00:08:25,672 --> 00:08:27,606
Number three.
144
00:08:28,208 --> 00:08:29,674
Number three,
145
00:08:29,676 --> 00:08:31,610
step forward, please.
146
00:08:38,819 --> 00:08:41,786
Yeah, more
than the others.
147
00:08:41,788 --> 00:08:45,223
I'm playing
elimination here.
148
00:08:45,225 --> 00:08:47,792
I saw him ten seconds
in the dark.
149
00:08:47,794 --> 00:08:50,295
You want me
to say I'm sure?
150
00:08:50,297 --> 00:08:51,730
I'm not.
151
00:08:51,732 --> 00:08:53,164
Hey, Davis.
152
00:08:53,166 --> 00:08:54,866
Take it easy,
all right?
153
00:08:54,868 --> 00:08:57,702
I'm not asking you
to lie.
154
00:09:06,947 --> 00:09:08,713
Could be...
155
00:09:08,715 --> 00:09:10,815
could be number three.
156
00:09:10,817 --> 00:09:15,654
Geez, I'm not sure enough
for an I.D.
157
00:09:17,591 --> 00:09:19,324
It was dark.
158
00:09:20,727 --> 00:09:23,695
What was that about,
keeping those two apart?
159
00:09:23,697 --> 00:09:26,231
Ten years ago,
I'm working Central Park
160
00:09:26,233 --> 00:09:28,700
in the fall. The whole place
smells like a sewer.
161
00:09:28,702 --> 00:09:30,669
The captain says
I'm imagining it.
162
00:09:30,671 --> 00:09:32,170
Lieutenant says
I'm imagining it.
163
00:09:32,172 --> 00:09:34,272
Turns out it's some tree
with flowers that rot.
164
00:09:34,274 --> 00:09:36,741
Lasts about a week.
165
00:09:36,743 --> 00:09:39,678
Hey, what... am I
missing something here?
166
00:09:39,680 --> 00:09:42,814
This thing smells, too.
167
00:09:42,816 --> 00:09:45,617
Internal Affairs
says I'm imagining it.
168
00:09:45,619 --> 00:09:47,252
Cragen says
I'm imagining it.
169
00:09:47,254 --> 00:09:49,654
And you're not
imagining it.
170
00:09:49,656 --> 00:09:51,723
On Silky? Two maybes?
171
00:09:51,725 --> 00:09:53,592
Both cops aren't sure?
172
00:09:53,594 --> 00:09:55,727
Max, these guys are cops.
173
00:09:55,729 --> 00:09:57,729
They're cops.
174
00:09:57,731 --> 00:10:01,266
90% of all police officers
forget about killing.
175
00:10:01,268 --> 00:10:02,867
They go 30 years,
never fire a gun.
176
00:10:02,869 --> 00:10:04,803
Freddo?
I heard this morning--
177
00:10:04,805 --> 00:10:05,804
second time.
178
00:10:05,806 --> 00:10:10,041
Makes you wonder,
that's all.
179
00:10:10,043 --> 00:10:12,711
Yeah, it also makes you wonder
how many cops died thinking
180
00:10:12,713 --> 00:10:15,013
"that's not a gun in his hand."
181
00:10:17,684 --> 00:10:20,885
Well, we can't
hold Silky.
182
00:10:26,727 --> 00:10:28,827
I sent the prints out.
183
00:10:28,829 --> 00:10:30,395
No I.D.
184
00:10:30,397 --> 00:10:31,696
No record?
185
00:10:31,698 --> 00:10:32,964
Came up blank.
186
00:10:32,966 --> 00:10:35,400
You see that evidence bag?
187
00:10:35,402 --> 00:10:36,835
What evidence bag?
188
00:10:36,837 --> 00:10:38,403
I sent it over.
189
00:10:38,405 --> 00:10:41,540
Wheel of fortune.
190
00:10:41,541 --> 00:10:44,676
The kid had 3,000 bucks on him
in his sock.
191
00:10:46,680 --> 00:10:48,713
Here's one set of prints.
192
00:10:48,715 --> 00:10:49,814
The dead kid?
193
00:10:49,816 --> 00:10:51,282
Yeah.
194
00:10:51,284 --> 00:10:54,786
Only one set of prints,
like somebody wiped the gun.
195
00:10:54,788 --> 00:10:56,688
Hey, Max, you're
drawing conclusions.
196
00:10:56,690 --> 00:10:58,823
Let's just say I
heard a dog bark.
197
00:10:58,825 --> 00:10:59,958
Serial number?
198
00:10:59,960 --> 00:11:00,959
It's clean.
199
00:11:00,961 --> 00:11:02,961
Not a file job, acid.
200
00:11:02,963 --> 00:11:04,396
Dog's barking
louder.
201
00:11:04,398 --> 00:11:05,764
Ballistics.
202
00:11:30,090 --> 00:11:31,856
Beautiful piece,
that Magnum.
203
00:11:31,858 --> 00:11:35,727
Tender loving care
to clean it off.
204
00:11:35,729 --> 00:11:37,862
Has it been worked on?
205
00:11:37,864 --> 00:11:40,065
By someone very good.
206
00:11:43,370 --> 00:11:45,403
R-ten twist.
207
00:11:45,405 --> 00:11:46,771
Clear as a bell.
208
00:11:46,773 --> 00:11:49,708
Let's go back a few months.
209
00:11:49,710 --> 00:11:52,777
See if we can find a match.
210
00:11:53,947 --> 00:11:56,147
LOGAN:
The Magnum's clean.
211
00:11:56,149 --> 00:11:57,716
Sources?
212
00:11:57,718 --> 00:11:59,884
Hoover and Washington heights.
213
00:11:59,886 --> 00:12:02,454
Bernie on 116th Street.
214
00:12:02,456 --> 00:12:04,889
Silky would stay close to home.
215
00:12:04,891 --> 00:12:06,391
Bernie.
216
00:12:06,393 --> 00:12:07,792
Bang.
217
00:12:07,794 --> 00:12:08,893
Magnums?
218
00:12:08,895 --> 00:12:10,862
They're like opinions.
219
00:12:10,864 --> 00:12:12,864
Everybody's got one.
220
00:12:12,866 --> 00:12:15,366
It's been cleaned up.
221
00:12:17,738 --> 00:12:19,003
Yours?
222
00:12:19,005 --> 00:12:21,773
Nice work,
whoever did it.
223
00:12:21,775 --> 00:12:23,775
New kind of lock?
224
00:12:23,777 --> 00:12:25,477
Double cylinder,
spring release.
225
00:12:25,479 --> 00:12:27,979
Yeah, illegal in this city.
226
00:12:27,981 --> 00:12:29,948
To install, not sell.
227
00:12:29,950 --> 00:12:31,116
Unpickable.
228
00:12:31,118 --> 00:12:32,984
Yeah,
for six months.
229
00:12:32,986 --> 00:12:34,352
Single cylinder?
230
00:12:34,354 --> 00:12:36,454
Wait a minute.
231
00:12:36,456 --> 00:12:37,789
This one hot?
232
00:12:37,791 --> 00:12:38,990
No?
233
00:12:38,992 --> 00:12:40,992
Bust me
for a misdemeanor.
234
00:12:40,994 --> 00:12:42,994
I'll be out in an hour.
235
00:12:42,996 --> 00:12:46,765
We keep busting you
and them hours add up.
236
00:12:46,767 --> 00:12:47,532
He dead?
237
00:12:47,534 --> 00:12:49,901
Never laid eyes on him.
238
00:12:54,474 --> 00:12:57,075
Lose a lot of business
when the door's locked.
239
00:12:57,077 --> 00:12:59,544
The Magnum's his.
240
00:12:59,546 --> 00:13:02,480
A month ago, six weeks.
241
00:13:02,482 --> 00:13:03,915
You positive?
242
00:13:03,917 --> 00:13:05,850
What do you want,
the name of his dog?
243
00:13:05,852 --> 00:13:07,452
Yeah, that's him.
244
00:13:07,454 --> 00:13:08,887
( pounding on door )
245
00:13:08,889 --> 00:13:10,488
Great.
246
00:13:10,490 --> 00:13:11,956
Hey... what?!
247
00:13:11,958 --> 00:13:13,825
The kid,
the one the cop shot--
248
00:13:13,827 --> 00:13:15,393
he had your gun in his hand.
249
00:13:15,395 --> 00:13:18,963
Sing a song for me, Silky.
This is murder.
250
00:13:18,965 --> 00:13:20,565
If you're involved,
it won't be probation.
251
00:13:20,567 --> 00:13:22,000
The other night when you were
waxing the floor,
252
00:13:22,002 --> 00:13:23,501
this kid with you?
253
00:13:23,503 --> 00:13:26,171
I seen him around here, man,
but I don't know his name.
254
00:13:26,173 --> 00:13:27,472
How did he get your gun?
255
00:13:27,474 --> 00:13:30,041
I sold it to him.
256
00:13:30,043 --> 00:13:31,476
You don't know his name
and you sold him your gun?
257
00:13:31,478 --> 00:13:32,844
I didn't need to
know his name.
258
00:13:32,846 --> 00:13:34,546
A sister I know
brought him over.
259
00:13:34,548 --> 00:13:35,814
What's her name?
260
00:13:35,816 --> 00:13:37,515
Doris. She's real fresh.
261
00:13:37,517 --> 00:13:39,551
Turn around and put your hands
on top of your head.
262
00:13:39,553 --> 00:13:40,852
For what?
Turn around
263
00:13:40,854 --> 00:13:41,519
and put your hands
on top of your head!
264
00:13:41,521 --> 00:13:43,521
Felony, Silky.
Oh, man!
265
00:13:43,523 --> 00:13:45,523
You just confessed
to selling a weapon.
266
00:13:45,525 --> 00:13:48,560
You have the right
to remain silent.
267
00:13:48,562 --> 00:13:49,828
Anything you say...
268
00:13:49,830 --> 00:13:51,496
What is this,
a class D?
269
00:13:51,498 --> 00:13:53,498
It's a walk, mabn.
I'm out in a day.
270
00:13:53,500 --> 00:13:55,600
You have the right
to an attorney...
271
00:13:56,503 --> 00:14:00,438
Hey, youu know what this
is going to cost me?
272
00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:03,007
My lawyer gets
$300 an hour, man.
273
00:14:03,009 --> 00:14:06,010
Think about where you were
the other night, Silky.
274
00:14:06,012 --> 00:14:07,946
I'd like to know.
275
00:14:10,851 --> 00:14:13,284
You know the kid
Freddo shot?
276
00:14:13,286 --> 00:14:15,553
Maybe he did
have the gun.
277
00:14:15,555 --> 00:14:20,291
Right. Silky sold him a Magnum,
he gave him an I.O.U.
278
00:14:20,293 --> 00:14:21,993
and then stuck 3,000
in his shoe.
279
00:14:21,995 --> 00:14:23,628
Max, he could have bought
the gun a week ago.
280
00:14:23,630 --> 00:14:25,964
Run this by me again?
281
00:14:25,966 --> 00:14:28,633
Freddo and Davis
saw a guy with a birthmark
282
00:14:28,635 --> 00:14:32,804
but it wasn't Silky.
283
00:14:32,805 --> 00:14:36,974
Silky sold the dead kid a gun,
but he wasn't there that night.
284
00:14:42,215 --> 00:14:43,581
I don't know
any Silky,
285
00:14:43,583 --> 00:14:44,983
and I don't know
nothing about dope.
286
00:14:44,985 --> 00:14:48,086
Who said anything about dope?
287
00:14:48,088 --> 00:14:49,654
Well, I got nothing
to tell you.
288
00:14:49,656 --> 00:14:51,522
Well, how about we take you
down to the precinct?
289
00:14:51,524 --> 00:14:54,259
Come on, you can't take me.
You got no charge.
290
00:14:54,261 --> 00:14:55,994
Doris, a guy is dead.
291
00:14:55,996 --> 00:14:58,229
Yeah, well, like you care.
Wrong.
292
00:14:58,231 --> 00:15:00,565
You care so much, you probably
belong to the N.A.A.C.P.
293
00:15:00,567 --> 00:15:02,600
You introduced
this kid to Silky?
294
00:15:02,602 --> 00:15:05,336
He had Silky's gun
in his hand when he died.
295
00:15:05,338 --> 00:15:07,171
Silky says
you were there
296
00:15:07,173 --> 00:15:09,574
when he sold
the kid the piece.
297
00:15:09,576 --> 00:15:11,042
No way.
298
00:15:11,044 --> 00:15:12,577
No wah. That's a lie.
299
00:15:12,579 --> 00:15:15,246
Who is he, Doris?
300
00:15:17,617 --> 00:15:19,984
It's Tommy Richardson.
301
00:15:19,986 --> 00:15:21,953
Where does he live?
302
00:15:24,324 --> 00:15:27,992
103rd, Lexington and Park.
303
00:15:29,562 --> 00:15:32,063
You seen
your brother Tommy?
304
00:15:32,065 --> 00:15:34,065
He ain't here.
305
00:15:34,067 --> 00:15:35,934
Well, where is he?
306
00:15:35,936 --> 00:15:37,602
I don't know
307
00:15:37,604 --> 00:15:42,040
but you'd better come back,
when my mom gets home.
308
00:15:42,042 --> 00:15:44,609
Where is your mom, Abel?
309
00:15:44,611 --> 00:15:45,710
Working.
310
00:15:45,712 --> 00:15:47,712
Where does she work?
311
00:15:47,714 --> 00:15:49,547
In an office building.
312
00:15:49,549 --> 00:15:51,249
She's a cleaning lady.
313
00:15:51,251 --> 00:15:53,651
She doesn't get back
till late.
314
00:15:53,653 --> 00:15:58,323
Abel, you'd better
come with us.
315
00:15:58,325 --> 00:16:02,060
Hey, boy, take a chair
right here, all right?
316
00:16:02,062 --> 00:16:04,395
Did you call
Reverend Thayer?
317
00:16:04,397 --> 00:16:07,131
Yeah, we called him.
318
00:16:07,133 --> 00:16:10,335
So when was the last time
you saw your brother?
319
00:16:10,337 --> 00:16:11,602
Abel?
320
00:16:11,604 --> 00:16:12,737
It's all right.
It's all right.
321
00:16:12,739 --> 00:16:14,605
Detective Logan,
Sergeant Greevey.
322
00:16:14,607 --> 00:16:16,607
Bringing a boy
down here?
323
00:16:16,609 --> 00:16:17,709
What's the reason?
324
00:16:17,711 --> 00:16:19,310
What did he do?
325
00:16:19,312 --> 00:16:21,679
Well, eems his brother pulled
a gun on a policeman
326
00:16:21,681 --> 00:16:23,865
night before last.
327
00:16:23,866 --> 00:16:26,050
No... no, no, no,
you got the wrong boy.
328
00:16:26,052 --> 00:16:28,686
I don't think so.
329
00:16:52,312 --> 00:16:57,048
Tommy Richardson
wouldn't have a gun.
330
00:16:57,050 --> 00:17:00,651
Tommy Richardson
was a...
331
00:17:00,653 --> 00:17:04,355
an honor student
at Pinceton University.
332
00:17:11,564 --> 00:17:14,632
( crowd chantiing angrily )
333
00:17:28,615 --> 00:17:31,582
MAN:
Why would a Princeton honors
student shoot a policeman?
334
00:17:31,584 --> 00:17:33,217
WOMAN:
Did you know that
Tommy Richardson
335
00:17:33,219 --> 00:17:35,620
lectured at
his old high school
against drugs?
336
00:17:35,622 --> 00:17:38,289
Can you make some kind
of a statement?
337
00:17:38,291 --> 00:17:40,291
( camera shutters clicking )
338
00:17:40,293 --> 00:17:42,260
Whatever happened
that night,
339
00:17:42,262 --> 00:17:44,062
we just got shoved
out a plane
340
00:17:44,064 --> 00:17:47,231
at 30,000 feet,
no parachute.
341
00:17:47,233 --> 00:17:50,234
( angry shouting )
342
00:17:50,236 --> 00:17:52,637
Nice, straightforward
little case, huh?
343
00:17:52,639 --> 00:17:55,706
So the wrap-it-up-
no-problem boys said.
344
00:17:55,708 --> 00:17:57,642
Why did Freddo
and Davis
345
00:17:57,644 --> 00:18:00,344
go soft on Silky
at the lineup?
346
00:18:00,346 --> 00:18:02,230
They made
a mistake.
347
00:18:02,231 --> 00:18:04,115
Yeah. They thought nobody
would know they were lying.
348
00:18:04,117 --> 00:18:06,250
If you're wrong
and you go after cops...
349
00:18:06,252 --> 00:18:08,186
If I'm wrong,
350
00:18:08,187 --> 00:18:10,121
I'll go to the grand jury
and say I killed the kid.
351
00:18:15,862 --> 00:18:19,130
Yeah, I can use the time off.
352
00:18:19,132 --> 00:18:20,198
You heard about the kid?
353
00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:22,166
Princeton?
354
00:18:22,168 --> 00:18:24,836
Yeah, just goes to show you.
355
00:18:24,838 --> 00:18:28,406
Homeboys-- no matter
how fancy you dress them up,
356
00:18:28,408 --> 00:18:31,309
they can still gun down a cop
just like any street scum.
357
00:18:31,311 --> 00:18:35,313
The dude you and Davis
passed on in the lineup, Freddo,
358
00:18:35,315 --> 00:18:38,349
it's hard to believe
that his gun was there
and he wasn't.
359
00:18:38,351 --> 00:18:42,186
Now, if he happens to say
he was there,
360
00:18:42,188 --> 00:18:44,222
that contradicts you.
361
00:18:44,224 --> 00:18:45,823
What is this?!
362
00:18:45,825 --> 00:18:48,159
I got 23 years
in the force!
363
00:18:48,161 --> 00:18:49,894
Now, who you
going to trust
364
00:18:49,896 --> 00:18:51,696
me or some eggplant?!
365
00:18:51,698 --> 00:18:53,898
Gee, Mike, he sure sounds
366
00:18:53,900 --> 00:18:55,833
trustworthy to me.
367
00:18:55,835 --> 00:18:56,701
How about you?
368
00:18:56,703 --> 00:18:57,535
Hey! Hey!
369
00:19:01,374 --> 00:19:03,641
Easy, Freddo.
370
00:19:03,643 --> 00:19:05,643
Next time you want to ask me
something,
371
00:19:05,645 --> 00:19:07,912
talk to my P.O.B.A. Rep.
372
00:19:10,250 --> 00:19:11,349
The man has two decades,
373
00:19:11,351 --> 00:19:12,783
and where
the police officer's
374
00:19:12,785 --> 00:19:14,285
benevolent association
stands,
375
00:19:14,287 --> 00:19:15,386
that merits
a certain respect.
376
00:19:15,388 --> 00:19:17,688
Benevolent means
I don't investigate?
377
00:19:17,690 --> 00:19:21,325
Max. You know, you
arrive at his home
unannounced
378
00:19:21,327 --> 00:19:23,728
and you treat him like
some punk murderer.
379
00:19:23,730 --> 00:19:24,729
Freddo's no punk.
380
00:19:24,731 --> 00:19:26,397
Oh, but he is a murderer.
381
00:19:26,399 --> 00:19:28,366
That's what we're investigating.
382
00:19:28,368 --> 00:19:30,735
Look, it is Sergeant Greevey's
job to investigate,
383
00:19:30,737 --> 00:19:32,470
but Max, if you are
all over this officer,
384
00:19:32,472 --> 00:19:33,671
it's gonna have to stop.
385
00:19:33,673 --> 00:19:36,374
We'll talk.
386
00:19:41,881 --> 00:19:44,248
Rock and a hard place.
387
00:19:44,250 --> 00:19:46,350
My butt, Max--
mine, not yours.
388
00:19:46,352 --> 00:19:48,452
This is not a bad cop.
389
00:19:48,454 --> 00:19:51,923
Neither are you, neither am I,
but some things we don't do.
390
00:19:51,925 --> 00:19:53,457
If we don't fix this fast,
391
00:19:53,459 --> 00:19:54,892
the brotherhood
is going to crucify us.
392
00:19:54,894 --> 00:19:57,461
If we do, the black community
is going to crucify us.
393
00:19:57,463 --> 00:19:59,463
Then let's do it right.
394
00:20:13,513 --> 00:20:15,246
Careful.
395
00:20:15,248 --> 00:20:17,848
Yeah, we all
got to be careful.
396
00:20:17,850 --> 00:20:20,785
More careful
than Freddo was.
397
00:20:20,787 --> 00:20:23,521
Enough people have
already gotten hurt.
398
00:20:23,523 --> 00:20:25,856
Which is why
we're investigating.
399
00:20:25,858 --> 00:20:27,925
Detectives.
400
00:20:27,927 --> 00:20:29,860
You sit
behind a desk.
401
00:20:29,862 --> 00:20:32,463
You guys have no idea
what it's like
402
00:20:32,465 --> 00:20:34,332
on the streets
these days.
403
00:20:34,334 --> 00:20:36,267
Come on. What's that
supposed to mean?
404
00:20:36,269 --> 00:20:37,535
Close ranks, Logan.
405
00:20:37,537 --> 00:20:39,403
Hey, I have, okay?
406
00:20:39,405 --> 00:20:40,538
With my partner.
407
00:20:40,540 --> 00:20:41,772
Your partner?
Get off me!
408
00:20:41,774 --> 00:20:43,474
( shouting angrily )
409
00:20:43,476 --> 00:20:45,776
Tell him to join
the A.C.L.U., huh?
410
00:20:45,778 --> 00:20:48,779
This... this punk...
411
00:20:48,781 --> 00:20:51,382
okay, he went to
some fancy school.
412
00:20:51,384 --> 00:20:52,883
I don't care if he was
head of the class.
413
00:20:52,885 --> 00:20:56,854
Those three skells
were doing a drug deal.
414
00:20:58,725 --> 00:21:02,893
Yeah, well, we're all
on the same side, right, Davis?
415
00:21:02,895 --> 00:21:06,264
You could have
fooled me.
416
00:21:15,875 --> 00:21:18,943
This week--
not easy, is it?
417
00:21:20,480 --> 00:21:22,013
( chuckling )
418
00:21:22,015 --> 00:21:26,450
Well, we're out there
all alone, Max.
419
00:21:26,452 --> 00:21:29,420
Let me tell you something.
420
00:21:29,422 --> 00:21:32,023
Everybody else is wrong
421
00:21:32,025 --> 00:21:34,458
and I think you like that.
422
00:21:34,460 --> 00:21:38,562
I don't like being told
to roll over.
423
00:21:38,564 --> 00:21:40,564
Davis swears the kid
was doing a drug deal.
424
00:21:40,566 --> 00:21:41,899
He swears it.
425
00:21:41,901 --> 00:21:44,035
Okay. Fine.
426
00:21:44,037 --> 00:21:46,604
Assume everybody's
telling the truth.
427
00:21:46,606 --> 00:21:48,572
A Magnum on the street--
what's it go for?
428
00:21:48,574 --> 00:21:49,974
500.
429
00:21:49,976 --> 00:21:52,009
Right. Half a pound
of crack?
430
00:21:52,011 --> 00:21:53,477
2500.
431
00:21:53,479 --> 00:21:56,480
Richardson kid had 3,000 bucks
in his socks
432
00:21:56,482 --> 00:21:59,350
supposed to buy a gun and drugs.
433
00:21:59,352 --> 00:22:02,320
Drug dealers don't take credit.
434
00:22:04,791 --> 00:22:07,358
All right,
the deal never went down.
435
00:22:07,360 --> 00:22:12,029
Which means the kid
never had the gun.
436
00:22:12,031 --> 00:22:15,599
Freddo shot him,
put the Magnum in his hand
437
00:22:15,601 --> 00:22:17,535
and he gave Silky a walk.
438
00:22:17,537 --> 00:22:18,969
That's why nobody's talking.
439
00:22:18,971 --> 00:22:24,442
We still got to turn up
the third guy.
440
00:22:24,444 --> 00:22:26,544
GREEVEY:
If Silky's not your friend...
441
00:22:26,546 --> 00:22:28,412
I don't have any friends.
442
00:22:28,414 --> 00:22:29,547
They die too quick.
443
00:22:29,549 --> 00:22:31,382
How about enemies?
444
00:22:31,384 --> 00:22:32,917
Enemies, too.
445
00:22:32,919 --> 00:22:35,419
Up here, nobody gets to 40.
446
00:22:35,421 --> 00:22:38,089
Three people that night, Doris.
447
00:22:38,091 --> 00:22:40,858
You knew Tommy,
you know Silky.
448
00:22:40,860 --> 00:22:44,128
And I know whatever I tell you,
it only means you lock them up.
449
00:22:44,130 --> 00:22:46,864
Hey, hey, now,
we're trying
to find out
450
00:22:46,866 --> 00:22:49,533
why Tommy Richardson
is dead.
451
00:22:49,535 --> 00:22:51,402
The way we heart it,
he was your friend.
452
00:22:51,404 --> 00:22:55,139
Seems to me
you owe him
his propers.
453
00:22:55,141 --> 00:22:58,943
Who was
the third guy?
454
00:22:58,945 --> 00:23:02,046
He's just a scared little boy.
455
00:23:02,048 --> 00:23:06,450
Abel. Tommy's little brother.
456
00:23:06,452 --> 00:23:09,520
GREEVEY:
Tommy and Silky
were doing a drug deal.
457
00:23:09,522 --> 00:23:12,490
LOGAN:
You think Tommy
would shoot a cop?
458
00:23:12,492 --> 00:23:14,658
Tommy never had a gun.
459
00:23:14,660 --> 00:23:19,530
If your brother was here now,
what would he tell you to do?
460
00:23:23,403 --> 00:23:26,437
Tommy was going to buy the gun.
461
00:23:26,439 --> 00:23:28,072
For 500.
462
00:23:30,042 --> 00:23:31,942
And the dope?
463
00:23:31,944 --> 00:23:34,412
Crack, a half a pound.
464
00:23:34,414 --> 00:23:36,113
For 2500.
465
00:23:36,115 --> 00:23:37,181
20 extra.
466
00:23:37,183 --> 00:23:40,518
We were going to go
to the movies,
467
00:23:40,520 --> 00:23:42,987
but the cops came. We ran.
468
00:23:42,989 --> 00:23:45,589
Silky still had the gun.
469
00:23:52,165 --> 00:23:54,465
Okay.
470
00:23:54,467 --> 00:23:55,933
Okay what?
471
00:23:55,935 --> 00:23:59,904
Sometimes when I don't want
to see something,
472
00:23:59,906 --> 00:24:02,072
then I put blinders on.
473
00:24:02,074 --> 00:24:04,141
What's that, a confession?
474
00:24:05,945 --> 00:24:08,145
An apology.
475
00:24:12,685 --> 00:24:14,685
Richardson
had the money.
476
00:24:14,687 --> 00:24:16,954
Silky had the gun.
477
00:24:16,956 --> 00:24:19,223
What happened to the dope?
478
00:24:19,225 --> 00:24:21,225
There was no dope.
479
00:24:21,227 --> 00:24:22,726
Never had it.
480
00:24:22,728 --> 00:24:25,496
Oh, yeah, Richardson met you
to buy groceries, huh?
481
00:24:25,498 --> 00:24:28,666
My lawyer-- he'll have me out
of here in an hour.
482
00:24:28,668 --> 00:24:31,669
You could still go up
on that gun charge, Silky.
483
00:24:31,671 --> 00:24:35,206
I never been convicted
of no felony.
484
00:24:35,208 --> 00:24:36,674
Even if you prove
I sold him the gun,
485
00:24:36,676 --> 00:24:37,942
I still walk.
486
00:24:37,944 --> 00:24:40,778
Jailhouse lawyer here.
487
00:24:40,780 --> 00:24:43,614
A witness puts you
at the scene that night.
488
00:24:45,184 --> 00:24:46,750
Abel.
489
00:24:50,056 --> 00:24:51,622
All right.
490
00:24:51,624 --> 00:24:53,157
I was there.
491
00:24:53,159 --> 00:24:54,258
That what
you want to hear?
492
00:24:54,260 --> 00:24:55,793
Tommy had the gun.
493
00:24:55,795 --> 00:24:57,528
He drew on the cop,
the cop shot him.
494
00:24:57,530 --> 00:24:58,796
That's what happened.
495
00:24:58,798 --> 00:25:01,565
Playing this all wrong, Silky.
496
00:25:01,567 --> 00:25:05,536
I'm still breathing, ain't I?
497
00:25:05,538 --> 00:25:07,271
What did this guy do?
498
00:25:07,273 --> 00:25:08,706
Shoot the pope?
499
00:25:08,708 --> 00:25:10,674
What are you
talking about?
500
00:25:10,676 --> 00:25:12,009
Pretty popular.
501
00:25:12,011 --> 00:25:14,211
Had another cop in
this morning.
502
00:25:14,213 --> 00:25:15,546
Who?
503
00:25:15,548 --> 00:25:18,048
Parisi.
504
00:25:18,050 --> 00:25:20,718
Freddo Parisi.
505
00:25:20,720 --> 00:25:23,220
GREEVEY:
Well, the kid say, "I'm
breathing" means Freddo
threatened us.
506
00:25:23,222 --> 00:25:24,822
I admit,
it doesn't sound good.
507
00:25:24,824 --> 00:25:27,091
Silky's lying,
Freddo's lying.
508
00:25:27,093 --> 00:25:29,693
Davis is covering for him.
509
00:25:29,695 --> 00:25:32,596
Freddo's arrested--
maybe somebody breaks.
510
00:25:32,598 --> 00:25:34,298
D.A. says the same thing,
511
00:25:34,300 --> 00:25:37,568
but it's a cop, so it's got to
be an Internal Affairs collar.
512
00:25:37,570 --> 00:25:41,605
I.A.D. cuts a guy some slack
and his own precinct burns him.
513
00:25:41,607 --> 00:25:43,641
What a world.
514
00:26:04,864 --> 00:26:06,797
You're under arrest
515
00:26:06,799 --> 00:26:09,333
for the murder
of Thomas Richardson.
516
00:26:09,335 --> 00:26:12,236
You have the right
to remain silent.
517
00:26:12,238 --> 00:26:14,238
Anything you say
can and will be...
518
00:26:14,240 --> 00:26:16,140
Save it, wise guy.
519
00:26:16,142 --> 00:26:18,309
I know it by heart.
520
00:26:22,014 --> 00:26:23,898
You're dreaming, Counselor.
521
00:26:23,899 --> 00:26:25,783
And the Richardson boy--
no record and no gun.
522
00:26:25,785 --> 00:26:27,117
Yes, says his 13-year-old
brother.
523
00:26:27,119 --> 00:26:29,019
With no reason
to lie.
524
00:26:29,021 --> 00:26:31,322
The kid's a lousy witness.
He wasn't even there.
525
00:26:31,324 --> 00:26:32,957
When I get finished
with him,
526
00:26:32,959 --> 00:26:35,993
a jury won't take his word
on what he ate for breakfast.
527
00:26:35,995 --> 00:26:37,061
And Patrolman Parisi?
528
00:26:37,063 --> 00:26:38,228
LAWYER:
A veteran cop.
529
00:26:38,230 --> 00:26:41,231
His word, Davis's word,
Silky's word--
530
00:26:41,233 --> 00:26:42,750
all against the kid
531
00:26:42,751 --> 00:26:44,268
who wants to protect
his brother's reputation.
532
00:26:44,270 --> 00:26:47,037
And who's a jury
gonna believe?
533
00:26:47,039 --> 00:26:49,807
By the time we go to trial,
Patrolman,
534
00:26:49,809 --> 00:26:52,876
Silky will be
telling the truth.
535
00:26:52,878 --> 00:26:54,595
It turns out
Abel's not clean,
536
00:26:54,596 --> 00:26:56,313
they scuff him up
on the stand,
Freddo walks.
537
00:26:56,315 --> 00:26:58,182
Abel has no record.
538
00:26:58,183 --> 00:27:00,050
Neither did his brother. I don't
want a last-minute sandbag.
539
00:27:00,052 --> 00:27:01,852
Make sure, Paul.
540
00:27:03,923 --> 00:27:06,290
Abel's been in no trouble.
541
00:27:06,292 --> 00:27:09,026
Are you going to see
your brother--
542
00:27:09,028 --> 00:27:10,027
Tommy Richardson--
543
00:27:10,029 --> 00:27:11,195
gets justice?
544
00:27:11,197 --> 00:27:12,930
I'm an officer of the court.
545
00:27:12,932 --> 00:27:15,032
I'll investigate
every aspect of the case.
546
00:27:15,034 --> 00:27:16,066
Color has...
547
00:27:16,068 --> 00:27:17,868
Nothing to do with it.
548
00:27:19,939 --> 00:27:24,241
Well, maybe I'm mistaking
who you are.
549
00:27:24,243 --> 00:27:30,381
You grow up on Park Avenue,
south of 96th Street?
550
00:27:30,383 --> 00:27:33,017
That isn't relevant to this.
551
00:27:33,019 --> 00:27:34,251
No?
552
00:27:34,253 --> 00:27:35,886
No father?
553
00:27:35,888 --> 00:27:37,054
That's right.
554
00:27:38,257 --> 00:27:40,024
Took off?
555
00:27:40,026 --> 00:27:42,259
Even you, Mr. Robinette?
556
00:27:42,261 --> 00:27:46,196
All black fathers
leave their children?
557
00:27:46,198 --> 00:27:50,000
Tommy Richardson's father
was a subway motorman.
558
00:27:50,002 --> 00:27:52,269
Usually worked two shifts.
559
00:27:52,271 --> 00:27:56,774
Somebody shot him for 20 bucks
he'd won at O.T.B.
560
00:27:56,776 --> 00:27:59,343
Now, Tommy
Richardson
was a hero
561
00:27:59,345 --> 00:28:00,911
in this community.
562
00:28:00,913 --> 00:28:03,881
He came from
a good family.
563
00:28:03,883 --> 00:28:05,416
He went to a good college.
564
00:28:05,418 --> 00:28:08,285
He brought home money
for the church,
565
00:28:08,287 --> 00:28:11,021
for the children's enrichment
program,
566
00:28:11,023 --> 00:28:13,023
for the boy's choir.
567
00:28:13,025 --> 00:28:14,291
Well, how much money?
568
00:28:14,293 --> 00:28:15,859
From where?
569
00:28:17,163 --> 00:28:19,430
Family named Harriman.
570
00:28:19,432 --> 00:28:22,032
Tommy's college roommate.
571
00:28:22,034 --> 00:28:25,035
They gave $48,000 in secret.
572
00:28:27,039 --> 00:28:30,040
How much?
573
00:28:30,042 --> 00:28:32,309
$48,000.
574
00:28:32,311 --> 00:28:34,044
My God.
575
00:28:34,046 --> 00:28:36,914
Your family
didn't give the money?
576
00:28:36,916 --> 00:28:38,048
No.
577
00:28:38,050 --> 00:28:41,051
Where did he get it?
578
00:28:41,053 --> 00:28:45,289
Till the end of the semester,
I really liked Tommy.
579
00:28:45,291 --> 00:28:47,157
He was smart, funny.
580
00:28:47,159 --> 00:28:51,061
Exam period,
I'd come back at night and...
581
00:28:51,063 --> 00:28:53,964
People he was
hanging out with.
582
00:28:53,966 --> 00:28:54,932
Street people?
583
00:28:54,934 --> 00:28:55,999
Yeah...
584
00:28:56,001 --> 00:28:57,201
Wall Street.
585
00:28:57,203 --> 00:29:01,105
J. Press suits,
Fisher skis, Beamers...
586
00:29:01,107 --> 00:29:03,073
Trust fund babies.
587
00:29:03,075 --> 00:29:06,210
Tommy-- it was like
he was in China.
588
00:29:06,212 --> 00:29:08,078
Didn't know the language.
589
00:29:08,080 --> 00:29:09,947
He couldn't make friends.
590
00:29:09,949 --> 00:29:12,983
These guys wanted
to score some coke
591
00:29:12,985 --> 00:29:14,284
and Tommy's black--
592
00:29:14,286 --> 00:29:15,953
like he ought to know.
593
00:29:15,955 --> 00:29:18,088
Friendship wasn't the point.
594
00:29:18,090 --> 00:29:19,356
Customers.
595
00:29:19,358 --> 00:29:20,958
You know any of them?
596
00:29:20,960 --> 00:29:23,026
Wesley Parker.
597
00:29:23,028 --> 00:29:24,495
Have a seat.
598
00:29:24,497 --> 00:29:27,965
I want to talk to you
about Tommy Richardson.
599
00:29:27,967 --> 00:29:29,233
What about him?
600
00:29:30,369 --> 00:29:33,137
He sold you drugs.
601
00:29:33,139 --> 00:29:36,373
No, hey, man, I don't know
who you've been talking to.
602
00:29:36,375 --> 00:29:38,359
There's no way.
603
00:29:38,360 --> 00:29:40,344
I take a walk around here,
you think I'll find some dope?
604
00:29:40,346 --> 00:29:43,347
Whatever you want to know.
605
00:29:43,349 --> 00:29:45,149
Why did you hang with Tommy?
606
00:29:45,151 --> 00:29:48,418
I don't want to get myself
arrested here.
607
00:29:50,389 --> 00:29:54,224
Let's say Tommy
never got me any drugs.
608
00:29:54,226 --> 00:29:56,093
But your friends?
609
00:29:56,095 --> 00:29:57,528
Tommy was tough.
610
00:29:57,530 --> 00:30:00,130
He knew how the world worked.
611
00:30:00,132 --> 00:30:01,999
Know what I mean?
612
00:30:02,001 --> 00:30:04,501
He was going to be real major.
613
00:30:04,503 --> 00:30:06,937
Yeah, Wesley.
614
00:30:06,939 --> 00:30:09,273
A major homicide.
615
00:30:09,275 --> 00:30:10,974
CROWD:
We want justice!
616
00:30:10,976 --> 00:30:13,043
We want justice!
We want justice!
617
00:30:13,045 --> 00:30:14,111
We want justice!
618
00:30:14,113 --> 00:30:15,445
To them, he's a hero.
619
00:30:15,447 --> 00:30:18,081
We're going
to destroy that dream.
620
00:30:18,083 --> 00:30:20,184
The truth will set you free,
it won't always make you happy.
621
00:30:20,186 --> 00:30:22,085
But he wasn't all bad.
622
00:30:22,087 --> 00:30:23,053
A trial, Ben?
623
00:30:23,055 --> 00:30:24,488
His name's dirt.
624
00:30:24,490 --> 00:30:26,957
In Harlem,
kid goes away
625
00:30:26,959 --> 00:30:28,091
to a good school,
626
00:30:28,093 --> 00:30:30,561
brings back money
to the community...
627
00:30:30,563 --> 00:30:32,095
A candidate for sainthood?
628
00:30:32,097 --> 00:30:33,997
The good part
of him, yeah.
629
00:30:33,999 --> 00:30:36,967
Maybe he needed the bad part
to make the good part work.
630
00:30:36,969 --> 00:30:40,103
Maybe being the tough black kid
in college, the street kid,
631
00:30:40,105 --> 00:30:43,006
helped him to come home
and give away money.
632
00:30:43,008 --> 00:30:45,309
Robin Hood? You think
that'd play with the jury?
633
00:30:45,311 --> 00:30:47,044
They find out
he's a drug dealer,
634
00:30:47,046 --> 00:30:48,345
they'll never believe
he didn't have a gun.
635
00:30:48,347 --> 00:30:50,047
Then make a deal.
636
00:30:50,049 --> 00:30:53,183
Freddo does a couple years,
Tommy's name stays clean.
637
00:30:53,185 --> 00:30:54,384
Can't do it, Paul.
638
00:30:54,386 --> 00:30:56,320
You can't let killers walk.
639
00:30:56,322 --> 00:30:57,988
( phone rings )
640
00:30:57,990 --> 00:30:59,056
Stone.
641
00:30:59,058 --> 00:31:01,058
Yes, send them in.
642
00:31:01,060 --> 00:31:03,126
The Richardsons.
643
00:31:03,128 --> 00:31:06,330
Mrs. Richardson,
thanks for coming down.
644
00:31:06,332 --> 00:31:07,965
Is this Abel?
645
00:31:07,967 --> 00:31:09,199
Yes, it is.
646
00:31:09,201 --> 00:31:10,334
How you doing?
Come in.
647
00:31:10,336 --> 00:31:12,169
Sit right down.
Thank you.
648
00:31:16,976 --> 00:31:20,344
Mrs. Richardson,
when this case goes to trial,
649
00:31:20,346 --> 00:31:24,214
there may be unpleasant things
said about your son.
650
00:31:24,216 --> 00:31:27,384
I read in the papers
651
00:31:27,386 --> 00:31:30,153
that the policeman
could go free.
652
00:31:32,124 --> 00:31:34,157
Mrs. Richardson...
653
00:31:35,227 --> 00:31:37,361
My husband was killed.
654
00:31:37,363 --> 00:31:41,031
Tommy was ten years old.
655
00:31:41,033 --> 00:31:47,204
That boy... he started
coming home from school late.
656
00:31:47,206 --> 00:31:48,372
Two, three hours.
657
00:31:48,374 --> 00:31:49,439
I thought he was hanging out
658
00:31:49,441 --> 00:31:51,508
on the streets.
659
00:31:51,510 --> 00:31:53,510
After-school job
660
00:31:53,512 --> 00:31:55,279
made him late.
661
00:31:55,281 --> 00:31:59,549
Delivering groceries
to help me out.
662
00:31:59,551 --> 00:32:03,287
Tommy spent his whole life
663
00:32:03,289 --> 00:32:07,024
just taking care
of other people.
664
00:32:07,026 --> 00:32:09,192
He had some problems.
665
00:32:11,230 --> 00:32:13,497
My boy got out of Harlem.
666
00:32:13,499 --> 00:32:17,401
That's what white people
wanted him to do
667
00:32:17,403 --> 00:32:19,536
and it's what
I wanted him to do.
668
00:32:19,538 --> 00:32:24,541
Mr. Stone, could I talk to you
outside for a second?
669
00:32:24,543 --> 00:32:27,110
You're going
to kill my mom.
670
00:32:27,112 --> 00:32:30,514
This drug deal on the street,
Abel, this wasn't
a one-shot thing, was it?
671
00:32:30,516 --> 00:32:32,382
You can't do this
to my mom.
672
00:32:32,384 --> 00:32:34,117
It's not us doing it.
673
00:32:34,119 --> 00:32:37,521
Reverend Thayer, your mother--
everybody wants justice.
674
00:32:37,523 --> 00:32:39,256
But I have to know
what really happened.
675
00:32:39,258 --> 00:32:42,159
Tommy was moving
a ton of dope.
676
00:32:42,161 --> 00:32:43,260
At Princeton?
677
00:32:43,262 --> 00:32:44,428
Every two weeks.
678
00:32:44,430 --> 00:32:46,096
He buy it here?
679
00:32:46,098 --> 00:32:49,266
Um, he had this mule...
680
00:32:49,268 --> 00:32:52,135
moved it down on the train.
681
00:32:52,137 --> 00:32:54,071
This mule have a name?
682
00:32:54,073 --> 00:32:55,305
A girl.
683
00:32:55,307 --> 00:32:58,208
A girl named Doris.
684
00:32:58,210 --> 00:33:01,611
I don't know nothiing, okay?
He's dead and I'm still here.
685
00:33:01,613 --> 00:33:02,612
That's all I know.
686
00:33:02,614 --> 00:33:04,448
When you were
on the stroll...
687
00:33:04,450 --> 00:33:05,716
Yeah, well,
that's old news.
688
00:33:05,718 --> 00:33:07,718
Not old enough for the
statute of limitations.
689
00:33:07,720 --> 00:33:09,420
You jumped bail.
690
00:33:09,421 --> 00:33:11,121
Yeah, well, I forgot to show up
at court.
691
00:33:11,123 --> 00:33:12,623
You want a reminder?
692
00:33:12,624 --> 00:33:14,124
Okay, you want it
straight up, Oreo?
693
00:33:14,126 --> 00:33:16,159
Tommy asked me
to score some coke.
694
00:33:16,161 --> 00:33:17,661
Gave me money.
Train ticket said
695
00:33:17,663 --> 00:33:19,463
to bring it to down
to someplace in Jersey.
696
00:33:19,465 --> 00:33:21,331
Smart move,
Doris.
He paid me so much,
697
00:33:21,333 --> 00:33:22,599
I stopped
turning tricks.
698
00:33:22,601 --> 00:33:24,201
'Cause of him,
I got out of the life.
699
00:33:24,203 --> 00:33:25,736
Oh, great. Hooking
to drug dealing?
700
00:33:25,738 --> 00:33:27,537
Yeah, which would you
rather sell--
701
00:33:27,539 --> 00:33:30,540
drugs or your body?
702
00:33:33,445 --> 00:33:37,581
CROWD:
We want justice!
We want justice!
703
00:33:42,154 --> 00:33:46,156
New york's finest!
New york's finest!
704
00:33:55,701 --> 00:33:58,602
Yeah, real stupid, Stone.
705
00:33:58,604 --> 00:34:00,337
Grand jury's decision,
not mine.
706
00:34:00,339 --> 00:34:02,472
We're not gonna have
to smear that kid.
707
00:34:02,474 --> 00:34:03,774
He already
smeared himself.
708
00:34:03,776 --> 00:34:05,542
Tommy Richardson's dead.
709
00:34:05,544 --> 00:34:07,778
He's not on trial for
drugs or anything else.
710
00:34:07,780 --> 00:34:11,281
Freddo had every reason
to believe that the kid
was going to shoot him.
711
00:34:11,283 --> 00:34:13,583
When Freddo shoots,
what would you have done?
712
00:34:13,585 --> 00:34:16,386
I wouldn't put a gun
in a dead kid's hand.
713
00:34:16,388 --> 00:34:20,390
I hope you're prepared
to go to trial and prove that
714
00:34:20,392 --> 00:34:21,658
and soon.
715
00:34:21,660 --> 00:34:23,493
I'll see you there.
Yeah.
716
00:34:25,631 --> 00:34:28,165
I don't care, I want you
to try for a deal
with Freddo.
717
00:34:28,167 --> 00:34:30,400
Am I mistaken or did you
just take a stand
718
00:34:30,402 --> 00:34:31,802
about a community
having to have its laws?
719
00:34:31,804 --> 00:34:34,104
That is
a public position.
720
00:34:34,105 --> 00:34:36,405
I'm telling you right now
that you do not have enough
to convict Parisi.
721
00:34:36,408 --> 00:34:37,674
Then don't shut me down.
722
00:34:37,676 --> 00:34:39,409
The partner won't roll.
723
00:34:39,411 --> 00:34:41,411
You've got nothing
to offer Silky.
724
00:34:41,413 --> 00:34:43,280
And if Freddo's
not interested?
725
00:34:43,282 --> 00:34:44,414
Make it sweet.
726
00:34:44,416 --> 00:34:46,283
Down for four,
out in two. Convince him.
727
00:34:46,285 --> 00:34:48,785
Adam, really...
99% of the time,
I let you run with it.
728
00:34:48,787 --> 00:34:51,288
I've got to do what's best
for the office.
729
00:34:53,358 --> 00:34:55,792
Gentlemen, come in.
730
00:35:02,201 --> 00:35:06,436
FREDDO:
My lawyer, Mr. Hillery,
says I could use the company.
731
00:35:06,438 --> 00:35:09,239
HILLERY:
I'm sure we remember
each other.
732
00:35:10,843 --> 00:35:13,510
My, uh... my ex-wife cleaned up.
733
00:35:14,847 --> 00:35:16,713
Would you like a drink?
734
00:35:16,715 --> 00:35:18,448
No, thanks.
735
00:35:18,450 --> 00:35:22,719
No wife, no friends, no nobody.
736
00:35:22,721 --> 00:35:24,454
From what I've
seen, you have
737
00:35:24,456 --> 00:35:25,589
plenty of friends.
738
00:35:25,591 --> 00:35:27,591
Protecting their own, pal.
739
00:35:27,593 --> 00:35:30,227
Most of them,
they don't even know me.
740
00:35:30,229 --> 00:35:32,829
A lot of people downtown
would really prefer it
741
00:35:32,831 --> 00:35:34,731
if you didn't
go to trial.
742
00:35:34,733 --> 00:35:36,600
If you plead
to manslaughter,
743
00:35:36,602 --> 00:35:38,435
you can be out
in one year--
744
00:35:38,437 --> 00:35:39,569
two at the most.
745
00:35:39,571 --> 00:35:42,739
You guys
,with your jobs and your suits
746
00:35:42,741 --> 00:35:44,641
and your
press conferences...
747
00:35:44,643 --> 00:35:45,709
Freddo...
748
00:35:45,711 --> 00:35:47,644
You want to take from me
749
00:35:47,646 --> 00:35:49,713
the one thing I got left.
750
00:35:49,715 --> 00:35:51,848
My trial is going to prove
751
00:35:51,850 --> 00:35:54,885
that Ivy League moulanyan
was a punk!
752
00:36:00,626 --> 00:36:03,693
I want my day in court.
753
00:36:10,269 --> 00:36:12,536
Before you ran from the police,
754
00:36:12,538 --> 00:36:15,739
did your brother or Silky Ford
have a gun?
755
00:36:15,741 --> 00:36:18,575
Silky had a gun
stuck into his jeans.
756
00:36:18,577 --> 00:36:19,843
Did you see the gun?
757
00:36:19,845 --> 00:36:21,878
I could see the handle.
758
00:36:21,880 --> 00:36:24,915
It was a Magnum,
like Dirty Harry.
759
00:36:24,917 --> 00:36:27,584
You know, "make my day."
760
00:36:27,586 --> 00:36:29,553
On the street that night,
you had a fight.
761
00:36:29,555 --> 00:36:30,787
What was that about?
762
00:36:30,789 --> 00:36:35,525
Uh, Silky short-weighted Tommy.
763
00:36:35,527 --> 00:36:37,327
I said something.
764
00:36:37,329 --> 00:36:38,628
He pushed me.
765
00:36:38,630 --> 00:36:40,830
Tommy pushed him...
766
00:36:40,832 --> 00:36:43,400
I'm going to ask you
one more time.
767
00:36:43,402 --> 00:36:44,801
Did you ever at any time
768
00:36:44,803 --> 00:36:46,870
see your brother carry
or fire a gun?
769
00:36:46,872 --> 00:36:49,539
No, never.
770
00:36:49,541 --> 00:36:51,474
No further questions.
771
00:36:53,779 --> 00:36:55,912
Let's start
from the beginning, Abel.
772
00:36:55,914 --> 00:36:59,816
Isn't it true that your brother
was planning to buy a gun
773
00:36:59,818 --> 00:37:01,551
from Silky Ford
that night?
774
00:37:01,553 --> 00:37:03,420
Yeah, but he...
775
00:37:03,422 --> 00:37:05,355
He was planning
on buying a .357 Magnum?
776
00:37:05,357 --> 00:37:06,356
Yeah, but he...
777
00:37:06,358 --> 00:37:07,924
Just answer
yes or no, please.
778
00:37:07,926 --> 00:37:12,495
Your brother was a student
at Princeton University,
779
00:37:12,497 --> 00:37:13,496
is that right?
Objection, Your Honor.
780
00:37:13,498 --> 00:37:15,649
This has all been covered.
781
00:37:15,650 --> 00:37:17,801
I'm trying to establish
something important here,
Your Honor.
782
00:37:17,803 --> 00:37:21,571
We'll let Mr. Hillery
travel this road again.
783
00:37:21,573 --> 00:37:22,706
Overruled.
784
00:37:22,708 --> 00:37:24,808
HILLERY:
He was a student
at Princeton?
785
00:37:24,810 --> 00:37:25,809
ABEL:
Yes.
786
00:37:25,811 --> 00:37:27,844
HILLERY:
Were you proud of him?
787
00:37:27,846 --> 00:37:29,779
Everybody was.
788
00:37:29,781 --> 00:37:32,549
Everybody was. And you told
people all the time
789
00:37:32,551 --> 00:37:33,883
how proud you were of him?
790
00:37:33,885 --> 00:37:36,202
Of course
I did.
791
00:37:36,203 --> 00:37:38,520
Please tell the jury,
if you were so proud of him
792
00:37:38,523 --> 00:37:39,789
whether you would honestly admit
793
00:37:39,791 --> 00:37:42,826
that he was capable
of shooting a policeman.
794
00:37:42,828 --> 00:37:44,561
Objection, hypothetical.
795
00:37:44,563 --> 00:37:45,562
Sustained.
796
00:37:45,564 --> 00:37:47,597
No more of that, Mr. Hillery.
797
00:37:47,599 --> 00:37:53,870
Abel, were you in the alley
the night your brother was shot?
798
00:37:53,872 --> 00:37:55,538
You know I wasn't.
799
00:37:55,540 --> 00:37:57,941
So you don't know
what went on there, do you?
800
00:38:02,581 --> 00:38:03,580
Had to happen, Ben.
801
00:38:03,582 --> 00:38:04,781
You watch the jury?
802
00:38:04,783 --> 00:38:06,683
They didn't believe
a word he said.
803
00:38:06,685 --> 00:38:07,984
Freddo's going to walk.
804
00:38:07,986 --> 00:38:10,920
We could get Davis to roll
if Silky does.
805
00:38:10,922 --> 00:38:13,623
But Silky won't roll
unless he's set up
806
00:38:13,625 --> 00:38:14,924
for a felony.
807
00:38:20,599 --> 00:38:21,931
Set him up.
808
00:38:21,933 --> 00:38:23,833
Is that ethical?
809
00:38:23,835 --> 00:38:25,769
It's legal.
810
00:38:25,770 --> 00:38:27,704
In the criminal justice system,
that makes it ethical.
811
00:38:27,706 --> 00:38:29,606
Silky was committing a felony
that night.
812
00:38:29,608 --> 00:38:30,607
Half a pound of crack.
813
00:38:30,609 --> 00:38:31,875
He's a drug dealer.
814
00:38:31,877 --> 00:38:34,644
What do you think
happened in that alley?
815
00:38:34,646 --> 00:38:39,416
Best bet?
Freddo got trigger-happy.
816
00:38:39,418 --> 00:38:40,784
Shot the kid.
817
00:38:40,786 --> 00:38:43,787
Told Silky to take
the crack and run.
818
00:38:43,789 --> 00:38:45,655
Call Greevey and Logan.
819
00:38:45,657 --> 00:38:47,891
Set Silky up for sale weight.
820
00:38:50,862 --> 00:38:51,861
Hello, Silky.
821
00:38:51,863 --> 00:38:53,697
You're looking fine, baby.
822
00:38:53,699 --> 00:38:55,432
I thought with Tommy gone
823
00:38:55,434 --> 00:38:57,534
you'd be out
of business, though.
824
00:38:57,536 --> 00:38:59,703
Yeah, well, I got
other customers.
825
00:38:59,705 --> 00:39:00,804
The wire works.
826
00:39:00,806 --> 00:39:02,806
Thank God for small miracles.
827
00:39:02,808 --> 00:39:04,074
You got my rocks?
828
00:39:04,076 --> 00:39:05,508
You know it.
829
00:39:05,510 --> 00:39:06,976
A pound of the best.
830
00:39:06,978 --> 00:39:08,878
Five grand, baby.
831
00:39:11,516 --> 00:39:13,616
Countdown...
832
00:39:13,618 --> 00:39:14,818
three...
833
00:39:14,820 --> 00:39:15,919
two...
834
00:39:15,921 --> 00:39:17,921
Here, babe.
835
00:39:17,923 --> 00:39:18,922
Later.
836
00:39:18,924 --> 00:39:19,923
One.
837
00:39:19,925 --> 00:39:21,524
Go!
838
00:39:21,526 --> 00:39:22,826
Go, go, go.
839
00:39:22,828 --> 00:39:23,860
Freeze, police!
840
00:39:23,862 --> 00:39:25,095
I ain't moving!
841
00:39:25,097 --> 00:39:26,096
Don't move.
842
00:39:26,098 --> 00:39:27,964
( siren approaching )
843
00:39:27,966 --> 00:39:31,835
So are you going to protect me
for the next 30 years?
844
00:39:31,837 --> 00:39:34,671
STONE:
You're a predicate felon, Silky.
845
00:39:34,673 --> 00:39:38,007
You can get put away
for 15 years to life.
846
00:39:41,680 --> 00:39:43,613
Okay, sports fans.
847
00:39:43,615 --> 00:39:46,549
Let's go to the videotape.
848
00:39:46,551 --> 00:39:51,087
Did you see Freddo Parisi
shoot Tommy Richardson?
849
00:39:51,089 --> 00:39:53,690
Freddo says, "Don't move."
850
00:39:53,692 --> 00:39:56,793
Tommy turns
to say something and...
851
00:39:56,795 --> 00:39:58,595
the cop shoots him.
852
00:39:58,597 --> 00:40:00,864
Tommy didn't have no gun.
853
00:40:00,866 --> 00:40:02,966
Freddo takes my gun.
854
00:40:02,968 --> 00:40:04,601
He wipes it on his shirt.
855
00:40:04,603 --> 00:40:05,602
Twice.
856
00:40:05,604 --> 00:40:08,605
He puts it
in Tommy's hand.
857
00:40:08,607 --> 00:40:11,808
Freddo tells me
to take the dope and leave.
858
00:40:11,810 --> 00:40:13,643
Says it's my lucky day.
859
00:40:13,645 --> 00:40:14,944
Did he say anything else?
860
00:40:14,946 --> 00:40:16,146
Oh, yeah.
861
00:40:16,148 --> 00:40:19,582
He says if I tell anybody,
he'll kill me.
862
00:40:19,584 --> 00:40:21,718
At my cell
at the tombs,
863
00:40:21,720 --> 00:40:23,987
he tells me again.
864
00:40:23,989 --> 00:40:27,624
Keep your mouth shut
or you're dead.
865
00:40:27,626 --> 00:40:31,895
Even if I burn him,
his partner will get me.
866
00:40:31,897 --> 00:40:33,563
Well?
867
00:40:33,565 --> 00:40:37,634
You have five kids,
a terrific wife, nice house.
868
00:40:37,636 --> 00:40:39,536
Massapequa, isn't it?
869
00:40:39,538 --> 00:40:40,637
Yeah.
870
00:40:40,639 --> 00:40:42,038
You've earned
five or six citations.
871
00:40:42,040 --> 00:40:43,840
You have
a great record.
872
00:40:43,842 --> 00:40:46,910
Don't let misguided loyalty
ruin your life.
873
00:40:46,912 --> 00:40:49,913
You stay with Freddo,
he'll take you down.
874
00:40:49,915 --> 00:40:53,149
He's my partner.
875
00:40:53,151 --> 00:40:55,885
Something
you don't know.
876
00:40:55,887 --> 00:40:57,887
When they brought the Richardson
boy to the morgue,
877
00:40:57,889 --> 00:41:02,659
he had $3,000 on him.
878
00:41:02,661 --> 00:41:05,628
The transaction
never took place.
879
00:41:05,630 --> 00:41:08,031
He never bought Silky's gun.
880
00:41:11,136 --> 00:41:14,704
You weren't
even there.
881
00:41:19,811 --> 00:41:22,612
After the incident was called in
to Internal Affairs,
882
00:41:22,614 --> 00:41:24,848
what did Patrolman Parisi
tell you?
883
00:41:24,850 --> 00:41:29,118
He said if there was
ever a lineup,
884
00:41:29,120 --> 00:41:32,889
he didn't want me to identify
the guy with the birthmark.
885
00:41:32,891 --> 00:41:34,691
STONE:
Did he tell you why?
886
00:41:34,693 --> 00:41:36,960
DAVIS:
He said I didn't have to worry.
887
00:41:36,962 --> 00:41:41,798
If they picked him up,
he would say he wasn't there.
888
00:41:41,800 --> 00:41:46,236
Did Patrolman Parisi tell you
why he was so certain
889
00:41:46,238 --> 00:41:48,004
you didn't have
to worry?
890
00:41:50,075 --> 00:41:55,245
He said... he let him
take the crack.
891
00:41:55,247 --> 00:41:58,915
The stuff he was going to sell.
892
00:42:00,986 --> 00:42:02,986
Were you at all concerned
893
00:42:02,988 --> 00:42:05,955
that Patrolman Parisi
might be wrong?
894
00:42:05,957 --> 00:42:09,092
That the suspect in question
might admit
895
00:42:09,094 --> 00:42:11,194
to being there that night?
896
00:42:11,196 --> 00:42:12,829
No.
897
00:42:12,831 --> 00:42:16,833
Freddo...
898
00:42:16,835 --> 00:42:20,970
Patrolman Parisi said
it was a sure thing.
899
00:42:20,972 --> 00:42:23,907
The guy didn't dare
open his mouth.
900
00:42:23,909 --> 00:42:25,141
STONE:
No more questions.
901
00:42:25,143 --> 00:42:27,744
No questions
of this witness.
902
00:42:27,746 --> 00:42:29,012
JUDGE:
You may step down.
903
00:42:30,916 --> 00:42:33,783
Prosecution calls
Dorian "Silky" Ford.
904
00:42:33,785 --> 00:42:37,086
( door opening )
905
00:42:43,895 --> 00:42:46,763
JUDGE:
Mr. Stone, is this going
to take some time?
906
00:42:46,765 --> 00:42:48,465
Yes, Your Honor.
907
00:42:48,466 --> 00:42:50,166
JUDGE:
In view of how late
in the day it is,
908
00:42:50,168 --> 00:42:52,902
let's continue tomorrow.
909
00:42:52,904 --> 00:42:54,170
Any objections?
910
00:42:54,172 --> 00:42:56,239
Court is adjourned.
911
00:43:05,917 --> 00:43:07,016
Well, I can't say
912
00:43:07,018 --> 00:43:09,752
I'm not glad at the way
it turned out.
913
00:43:09,754 --> 00:43:11,087
I don't understand cops.
914
00:43:11,089 --> 00:43:14,190
There is such a thing
as an honorable mistake.
915
00:43:14,192 --> 00:43:15,925
Okay, he shot the kid.
916
00:43:15,927 --> 00:43:17,994
Did he have
to plant a gun on him?
917
00:43:17,996 --> 00:43:19,929
If he'd just admitted it
918
00:43:19,931 --> 00:43:21,965
and said, "I was scared.
I panicked. I was wrong."
919
00:43:21,967 --> 00:43:25,068
No jury in the world
would convict him of murder.
920
00:43:25,070 --> 00:43:27,504
If nothing else,
921
00:43:27,505 --> 00:43:29,939
Freddo will never have a gun
in his hand again.
922
00:43:29,941 --> 00:43:32,075
And that's better for everybody.
923
00:43:32,077 --> 00:43:38,314
( phone ringing )
924
00:43:38,316 --> 00:43:41,951
Schiff.
925
00:43:41,953 --> 00:43:44,287
Thanks for calling.
926
00:43:49,094 --> 00:43:52,228
Well, we don't have
to worry about a verdict.
927
00:43:53,898 --> 00:43:55,898
Freddo just ate his gun.
928
00:43:59,104 --> 00:44:08,011
THAYER:
Now is the time to remember
the real Tommy Richardson
929
00:44:08,013 --> 00:44:12,382
and what he meant
to this community.
930
00:44:12,384 --> 00:44:15,184
He was a symbol
931
00:44:15,186 --> 00:44:24,060
of what every child
born into poverty could achieve.
932
00:44:24,062 --> 00:44:28,231
He gave back to his people,
933
00:44:28,233 --> 00:44:34,370
his time, his energy,
934
00:44:34,372 --> 00:44:38,274
his love.
935
00:44:38,276 --> 00:44:42,979
And he tried to help even more.
936
00:44:42,981 --> 00:44:49,385
He tried to help others
by giving money,
937
00:44:49,387 --> 00:44:55,892
but to get that money,
he sold drugs.
938
00:44:55,894 --> 00:45:02,965
And he was shot to death
in the gutter because of it.
939
00:45:02,967 --> 00:45:09,972
What Tommy Richardson wanted
to do for his people was right,
940
00:45:09,974 --> 00:45:13,209
but he did it the wrong way.
941
00:45:13,211 --> 00:45:18,915
And the policeman who shot him--
942
00:45:18,917 --> 00:45:22,051
that was wrong, too.
943
00:45:22,053 --> 00:45:29,258
But it would not have happened
without drugs.
944
00:45:36,034 --> 00:45:39,902
Wandering the halls?
945
00:45:39,904 --> 00:45:44,974
I wanted
to say thank you.
946
00:45:44,976 --> 00:45:47,376
I know this was a tough one.
947
00:45:47,378 --> 00:45:49,412
It's the last one.
948
00:45:49,414 --> 00:45:51,214
No more cops.
949
00:45:51,216 --> 00:45:53,282
It's too hard.
950
00:45:55,220 --> 00:45:58,287
Know why I wouldn't let go?
951
00:45:58,289 --> 00:46:02,258
Because there
but for the grace of God, go I
952
00:46:02,260 --> 00:46:04,026
or any cop.
953
00:46:04,028 --> 00:46:06,229
You get caught.
954
00:46:06,231 --> 00:46:09,465
You get prosecuted.
955
00:46:09,467 --> 00:46:13,202
Didn't know
you were a philosopher, Max.
956
00:46:13,204 --> 00:46:13,235
Just an ex-altar boy with a gun.
