1
00:00:02,003 --> 00:00:06,171
by two separate
yet equally important groups:
2
00:00:06,173 --> 00:00:08,273
The police,
who investigate crime
3
00:00:08,275 --> 00:00:10,542
and the district attorneys
who prosecute the offenders.
4
00:00:10,544 --> 00:00:13,045
These are their stories.
5
00:00:17,018 --> 00:00:20,052
( salsa music playing )
6
00:00:24,492 --> 00:00:27,326
MAN:
I'm gonna take
all these teddy bears, man.
7
00:00:27,328 --> 00:00:30,362
You're gonna need a lot more.
8
00:00:30,364 --> 00:00:32,464
Let's see.
9
00:00:32,466 --> 00:00:33,499
( groans )
10
00:00:33,501 --> 00:00:36,368
Uno mas, man, uno mas.
11
00:00:36,370 --> 00:00:38,237
Come on, man.
12
00:00:38,239 --> 00:00:39,805
How many teddy bears
you need, huh?
13
00:00:39,807 --> 00:00:41,924
Come on, payaso.
14
00:00:41,925 --> 00:00:44,042
Hey, let me tell you something.
You play your little games.
15
00:00:44,045 --> 00:00:46,512
I want my paper.
You give me my money, hear?
16
00:00:46,514 --> 00:00:48,514
Yo, Hector, chill out, man.
17
00:00:48,516 --> 00:00:51,150
Don't worry.
You're gonna get paid.
18
00:00:51,152 --> 00:00:53,052
Don't worry about it.
I don't want
to chill.
19
00:00:53,054 --> 00:00:54,386
I want my money.
20
00:00:54,388 --> 00:00:55,654
( gun fires )
21
00:00:56,390 --> 00:00:57,523
Ahh!
22
00:00:57,525 --> 00:01:00,325
Payaso, this is fixed, man.
23
00:01:02,229 --> 00:01:06,298
I was your age, I thought about
two things all the time.
24
00:01:06,300 --> 00:01:08,267
Women and...?
25
00:01:08,269 --> 00:01:10,069
Money.
26
00:01:10,071 --> 00:01:12,404
Now what do you
think about?
27
00:01:12,406 --> 00:01:14,339
Money...
28
00:01:14,341 --> 00:01:16,442
and women.
29
00:01:19,447 --> 00:01:24,249

I don't quit now,
I'm working for half pay.

LOPEZ:
How do you figure?
32
00:01:29,857 --> 00:01:33,392
I got 20 years in.
I retire, I get
half my paycheck.
33
00:01:33,394 --> 00:01:36,395
I work-- all I'm working
for is the other half.
34
00:01:36,397 --> 00:01:38,330
Retire to Hawaii.
35
00:01:38,332 --> 00:01:40,432
With my pension,
I live like a king.
36
00:01:40,434 --> 00:01:42,334
You'll still
be a fat cop.
37
00:01:42,336 --> 00:01:44,169
( gunshots )
Whoa!
38
00:01:44,171 --> 00:01:46,238
( indistinctshouting )
39
00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:48,307

in Spanish )

BINNS:
Come on, people, move!
Move!

00:01:53,881 --> 00:01:56,448
BYSTANDER:
What's going on, man?
I don't know.
43
00:02:00,588 --> 00:02:02,321
( indistinct murmuring )
44
00:02:08,462 --> 00:02:12,231
Okay! Who saw the shooting?
45
00:02:12,233 --> 00:02:13,732
You?
46
00:02:13,734 --> 00:02:15,334
Nada.
47
00:02:15,336 --> 00:02:18,203
Yo, no he visto nada.
48
00:02:18,205 --> 00:02:22,207
Anybody seen
who shot this guy?
49
00:02:22,209 --> 00:02:23,709
MAN:
Yo no lo vi.
50
00:02:25,179 --> 00:02:26,445

53

( garbled dispatch
transmission )
54
00:04:00,341 --> 00:04:03,308
You happened to be in front,
but didn't see a thing?
55
00:04:03,310 --> 00:04:05,711
It was bang,
bang, bang.
56
00:04:05,713 --> 00:04:07,879
By the time
I got there
57
00:04:07,881 --> 00:04:10,616
it was just him
on the ground.
58
00:04:10,618 --> 00:04:12,751
It's very dark.
59
00:04:12,753 --> 00:04:14,786
It's very dark
out here.
60
00:04:17,791 --> 00:04:20,325
( exasperated sigh )
61
00:04:20,327 --> 00:04:21,760
Excuse me.
62
00:04:21,762 --> 00:04:23,328
Let's go play.
63
00:04:24,798 --> 00:04:26,532
We're batting a thousand.
64
00:04:26,533 --> 00:04:28,267
All our witnesses
are deaf, dumb and blind.
65
00:04:28,269 --> 00:04:29,835
What did I tell you?
66
00:04:29,837 --> 00:04:31,870
The guy didn't really
get shot.
67
00:04:31,872 --> 00:04:34,006
Upstairs?
They take a look?
68
00:04:34,008 --> 00:04:37,576
Here? A .38 going off is
background music for dinner.
69
00:04:37,578 --> 00:04:40,279
An imaginary killing,
but a real body.
70
00:04:40,281 --> 00:04:41,980
No I.D. except this.
71
00:04:43,784 --> 00:04:46,285
Hell, he's a dealer.
No wonder no one's talking.
72
00:04:52,826 --> 00:04:54,926
Damn it.
Where did that come from?
73
00:04:54,928 --> 00:04:58,430
Was it in his hand
74
00:04:58,432 --> 00:05:01,433
or in the waistband?
STUART:
I didn't see.
75
00:05:03,704 --> 00:05:05,671
Terrific.
76
00:05:06,974 --> 00:05:09,341
Not fired.
77
00:05:11,445 --> 00:05:12,911
What do you call that?
78
00:05:14,348 --> 00:05:15,614
A lesson.
79
00:05:15,616 --> 00:05:17,949
Pay for your drugs,
or we'll kill you.
80
00:05:17,951 --> 00:05:21,820
Ah, this is personal.
81
00:05:21,822 --> 00:05:23,922
And this is trouble in court.
82
00:05:25,659 --> 00:05:27,726
The waist, the hand--
what's the difference?
83
00:05:27,728 --> 00:05:29,728
He's shot in the back
and in the crotch.
84
00:05:29,730 --> 00:05:31,797
Chicken or egg--
which came first?
85
00:05:31,799 --> 00:05:33,665
That's important?
86
00:05:35,002 --> 00:05:37,869
Just wait.
87
00:05:37,871 --> 00:05:39,871
Your victim? Lovely guy.
88
00:05:39,873 --> 00:05:41,340
Urbano, Jose.
89
00:05:41,342 --> 00:05:44,810
Robbery, rape at 15,
year in Spofford.
90
00:05:44,812 --> 00:05:47,746
Assaults,
two narcotics felonies,
91
00:05:47,748 --> 00:05:49,748
three stops at Attica.
92
00:05:49,750 --> 00:05:51,350
What? No homicides?
93
00:05:51,352 --> 00:05:53,752
GREEVEY:
Get this--
no witnesses.
94
00:05:53,754 --> 00:05:55,887
40-odd interviews. Nada.
95
00:05:55,889 --> 00:05:56,855
Nothing?
96
00:05:56,857 --> 00:05:58,724
They don't want an arrest.
97
00:05:58,726 --> 00:06:01,793
The carny operator, he says
a guy gave Urbano money.
98
00:06:01,795 --> 00:06:03,895
About six feet tall
with a moustache.
99
00:06:03,897 --> 00:06:05,964
He ought to come walking in
any minute.
100
00:06:05,966 --> 00:06:07,866
You sure this isn't about drugs?
101
00:06:07,868 --> 00:06:10,402
Doesn't play that way.
Not four in the crotch.
102
00:06:10,404 --> 00:06:11,803
That's sexual.
103
00:06:11,805 --> 00:06:14,840
Okay, I give up.
Why?
104
00:06:14,842 --> 00:06:16,475
( sighs )
105
00:06:16,477 --> 00:06:18,710
Urbano had six months
more parole.
106
00:06:18,712 --> 00:06:20,779
Find out
who his business was.
107
00:06:20,781 --> 00:06:23,081
You know,
like an investigation.
108
00:06:25,953 --> 00:06:28,954
MAN:
The slugs are from a Glock.
109
00:06:28,956 --> 00:06:30,856
LOGAN:
Awfully expensive automatic
for the barrio.
110
00:06:30,858 --> 00:06:31,990
This one...
111
00:06:31,992 --> 00:06:33,859
real crisp rifling
on all the slugs.
112
00:06:33,861 --> 00:06:37,829
Must be almost brand new.
113
00:06:37,831 --> 00:06:39,431
Run a check, anyhow, huh?
114
00:06:39,433 --> 00:06:42,000
find a match.
See if you can
115
00:06:44,705 --> 00:06:46,772
MAN:
May he rest in peace,
116
00:06:46,774 --> 00:06:48,807
but on the scale
of living things
117
00:06:48,809 --> 00:06:51,410
our friend Jose
is just a couple of steps up
118
00:06:51,412 --> 00:06:53,011
from the snail.
119
00:06:53,013 --> 00:06:55,180
What's wrong with me?
120
00:06:55,182 --> 00:06:59,851
All I see is
the dark side of people.
121
00:06:59,853 --> 00:07:02,854
Was Urbano
still dealing?
122
00:07:02,856 --> 00:07:04,890
The charming Jose.
123
00:07:04,892 --> 00:07:06,825
New story every week.
124
00:07:06,827 --> 00:07:08,927
This job, that job.
125
00:07:08,929 --> 00:07:11,129
Somehow, they never worked out.
126
00:07:11,131 --> 00:07:13,999
He swore he was going straight.
127
00:07:14,001 --> 00:07:15,967
You believe him?
128
00:07:15,969 --> 00:07:17,502
Oh, absolutely.
129
00:07:17,504 --> 00:07:21,873
All my cons have been
rehabilitated by the system.
130
00:07:21,875 --> 00:07:24,009
You got an address?
131
00:07:24,011 --> 00:07:27,012
Had a sister with a kid.
132
00:07:27,014 --> 00:07:29,481
Lived with her sometimes.
133
00:07:29,483 --> 00:07:31,016
Gave her money.
134
00:07:31,018 --> 00:07:33,585
He wasn't all bad.
135
00:07:33,587 --> 00:07:39,024
First time Jose went to Attica,
I visited him.
136
00:07:39,026 --> 00:07:41,159
Have you ever been there?
137
00:07:41,161 --> 00:07:44,930
Doesn't look as bad
as on TV.
138
00:07:44,932 --> 00:07:49,134
$100 a week he gave me.
139
00:07:49,136 --> 00:07:51,536
For her.
140
00:07:52,940 --> 00:07:55,874
Night he died,
he won her a teddy bear.
141
00:07:55,876 --> 00:07:57,776
Where did he get the money?
142
00:07:57,778 --> 00:08:00,612
You were with Jose
Saturday night
143
00:08:00,614 --> 00:08:02,981
when he won the teddy bear?
144
00:08:02,983 --> 00:08:04,950
Anita...
145
00:08:04,952 --> 00:08:07,953
he was so good to you,
you don't care who whacked him?
146
00:08:07,955 --> 00:08:10,989
Look, Jose was
with Hector Cartagena.
147
00:08:10,991 --> 00:08:14,059
Hector and Jose had been
together in Attica.
148
00:08:14,061 --> 00:08:15,060
They argued.
149
00:08:15,062 --> 00:08:16,094
I came home.
150
00:08:16,096 --> 00:08:18,029
Argued? About what?
151
00:08:18,031 --> 00:08:19,965
A deal.
152
00:08:19,967 --> 00:08:22,200
Hector said Jose shorted him.
153
00:08:22,202 --> 00:08:26,004
And Hector said Jose
was no good to his friends.
154
00:08:26,006 --> 00:08:29,074
He was mad.
He wanted to kill him.
155
00:08:29,076 --> 00:08:32,244
Business.
156
00:08:35,048 --> 00:08:39,050
Cartagena's got narcotics,
arson, larceny
157
00:08:39,052 --> 00:08:42,020
armed robbery,
aggravated assault.
158
00:08:42,022 --> 00:08:44,589
Hey, listen,
thanks a lot, okay?
159
00:08:44,591 --> 00:08:46,892
Paroled from Attica
two months ago.
160
00:08:46,894 --> 00:08:49,060
Lives on 108th Street.
Let's go get a warrant.
161
00:08:49,062 --> 00:08:51,930
I don't want to see
this guy without back-up.
162
00:08:51,932 --> 00:08:55,200
Backup? I don't want to see him
without nuclear weapons.
163
00:08:55,202 --> 00:08:58,203
( babycrying )
164
00:09:01,642 --> 00:09:04,142
This isn't going
to give easy.
165
00:09:09,082 --> 00:09:10,982
HECTOR:
Yeah. Who is it?
166
00:09:10,984 --> 00:09:12,217
Con Ed--
gas leak.
167
00:09:12,219 --> 00:09:13,852
Police!
168
00:09:13,854 --> 00:09:16,221
Get over there!
Get your hands up.
169
00:09:16,223 --> 00:09:18,123
HECTOR:
I'm cool. All right.
170
00:09:18,125 --> 00:09:20,692
You're under arrest
for the murder of Jose Urbano.
171
00:09:20,694 --> 00:09:22,327
I don't kill nobody.
172
00:09:22,328 --> 00:09:23,961
You have the right
to remain silent and refuse
173
00:09:23,964 --> 00:09:26,264
to answer any questions.
Do you understand that?
174
00:09:28,001 --> 00:09:31,169
Anita says you wanted
to kill Jose.
175
00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:36,575
You believe that...?
176
00:09:36,577 --> 00:09:38,977
Look, use your head.
177
00:09:38,979 --> 00:09:41,079
Why would I do it, huh?
178
00:09:41,081 --> 00:09:45,116
I kill him,
I don't get the paper he owe me.
179
00:09:45,118 --> 00:09:47,085
All right? Mucho dinero, okay?
180
00:09:47,087 --> 00:09:49,321
You visit anyone
besides Jose last night?
181
00:09:49,323 --> 00:09:50,956
That's right, Hector.
Come up with an alibi.
182
00:09:50,958 --> 00:09:53,258
That's what
you're supposed to do now.
183
00:09:53,260 --> 00:09:55,160
I went home.
184
00:09:55,162 --> 00:09:56,261
Solo.
185
00:09:56,263 --> 00:09:57,729
You understand?
186
00:09:57,731 --> 00:10:00,999
Yeah. Did you lose the Glock
on the way?
187
00:10:01,001 --> 00:10:04,135
Look, no my style, okay?
188
00:10:04,137 --> 00:10:06,605
Never like automatic weapons.
189
00:10:06,607 --> 00:10:08,607
Can openers.
190
00:10:08,609 --> 00:10:11,643
Jamming on you all the time,
you know?
191
00:10:11,645 --> 00:10:15,080
You better hope we don't find
that can opener on the street.
192
00:10:15,082 --> 00:10:16,748
Oh, yeah?
193
00:10:16,750 --> 00:10:20,018
And what you going to do?
194
00:10:20,020 --> 00:10:23,622
You and your compadre, huh,
yougoing to prove it's mine?
195
00:10:23,624 --> 00:10:25,624
Come on.
You're wasting my time.
196
00:10:25,626 --> 00:10:27,258
Can I go now, all right?
197
00:10:27,260 --> 00:10:28,393
You can go home, sure.
198
00:10:28,395 --> 00:10:30,028
Right back to Attica.
199
00:10:30,030 --> 00:10:32,697
Attica, my ass, man.
200
00:10:32,699 --> 00:10:36,067
Your ass is grass, hombre.
201
00:10:36,069 --> 00:10:37,302
You're
on parole.
202
00:10:37,304 --> 00:10:39,304
You can't hang
with felons.
203
00:10:39,306 --> 00:10:41,306
Even dead ones.
204
00:10:41,308 --> 00:10:43,041
Yeah, right.
205
00:10:43,043 --> 00:10:45,143
Get this--
206
00:10:45,144 --> 00:10:47,244
good old Hector swears
we didn't Mirandize him.
207
00:10:47,247 --> 00:10:49,247
Not so dumb, this Hector, huh?
208
00:10:49,249 --> 00:10:52,283
Smart enough to know we
couldn't tie him to the
gun, but stupid enough
209
00:10:52,285 --> 00:10:55,286
to say he was gonna waste Jose
in front of Jose's sister?
210
00:10:57,324 --> 00:11:01,993
He crawled out of the same sewer
as the late Jose.
211
00:11:01,995 --> 00:11:04,729
No way the neighborhood's going
to protect him.
212
00:11:04,731 --> 00:11:06,097
He didn't do it.
213
00:11:06,099 --> 00:11:07,198
No.
214
00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:09,100
You got the file?
215
00:11:09,102 --> 00:11:11,102
The carny operator--
216
00:11:11,104 --> 00:11:13,672
what's his name, Harmon?
The one that described Hector...
217
00:11:13,674 --> 00:11:18,076
Let's walk him
down memory lane again.
218
00:11:18,078 --> 00:11:20,712
What do you want from me, huh?
I'm watching the till.
219
00:11:20,714 --> 00:11:23,348
The drug dealer's done shooting,
I'm on to the next.
220
00:11:23,350 --> 00:11:25,717
Oh! How do you know
he's a drug dealer?
221
00:11:25,719 --> 00:11:28,053
2,000 bucks in clothes
on his back,
222
00:11:28,055 --> 00:11:29,354
a couple gold rings.
223
00:11:29,356 --> 00:11:32,090
You really care
who killed this guy?
224
00:11:32,092 --> 00:11:34,125
I mean, come on, he's scum.
225
00:11:34,127 --> 00:11:36,127
Wait a minute. You think he's
scum, I think he's scum
226
00:11:36,129 --> 00:11:38,730
but he had a sister
who needed him
227
00:11:38,732 --> 00:11:41,099
and a six-year-old niece who
thinks he's Mister Rogers.
228
00:11:41,101 --> 00:11:44,169
This probably has nothing
to do with it,
229
00:11:44,171 --> 00:11:47,439
but the kid from the church,
the girl...
230
00:11:47,441 --> 00:11:49,074
Which girl is this?
231
00:11:49,076 --> 00:11:52,110
The one I paid my fee to.
Pretty kid-- Alicia.
232
00:11:52,112 --> 00:11:56,114
She comes by, checks,
makes sure everything's okay
233
00:11:56,116 --> 00:11:58,817
then she's talking
to the drug dealer.
234
00:11:58,819 --> 00:12:00,452
What's his name-- Jose?
235
00:12:00,454 --> 00:12:02,120
About what?
236
00:12:02,122 --> 00:12:04,122
You think
I listened?
237
00:12:04,124 --> 00:12:06,057
She was hanging on the guy
238
00:12:06,059 --> 00:12:09,194
like she was trying
to pick him up.
239
00:12:13,834 --> 00:12:16,868
GREEVEY:
says you talked to Urbanor
240
00:12:16,870 --> 00:12:18,303
at the fair.
241
00:12:18,305 --> 00:12:21,239
At a fair, I talk to a lot of
people.
242
00:12:21,241 --> 00:12:24,209
Way we heard it is you dragged
him off into the crowd
243
00:12:24,211 --> 00:12:26,778
and he never came back.
You know, just like
a Roach Motel--
244
00:12:26,780 --> 00:12:28,880
he checked in,
but he didn't check out.
245
00:12:28,882 --> 00:12:30,215
And it's a good thing.
246
00:12:30,217 --> 00:12:32,150
Cockroaches should be dead.
247
00:12:32,152 --> 00:12:35,420
Innocent people get hurt,
you don't come up here so quick.
248
00:12:35,422 --> 00:12:37,088
Innocent people?
249
00:12:37,090 --> 00:12:39,157
What was Urbano guilty of?
250
00:12:39,159 --> 00:12:40,792
Look, enough.
251
00:12:40,794 --> 00:12:42,293
I've heard of Urbano.
252
00:12:42,295 --> 00:12:43,294
Drug dealer.
253
00:12:43,296 --> 00:12:45,296
They kill each other, fine.
254
00:12:45,298 --> 00:12:46,765
We're better off.
255
00:12:46,767 --> 00:12:49,200
Strange thing
for a priest to say.
256
00:12:49,202 --> 00:12:52,403
Strange times to be a priest.
257
00:12:52,405 --> 00:12:54,305
Send in a couple of
Puerto Rican cops.
258
00:12:54,307 --> 00:12:56,174
Maybe they can open this up.
259
00:12:56,176 --> 00:12:57,909
You been reading a different
duty roster, Max?
260
00:12:57,911 --> 00:13:01,146
I got Puerto Rican detectives
I haven't noticed?
261
00:13:01,148 --> 00:13:04,415
The priest--
he knows where Alicia was.
262
00:13:04,417 --> 00:13:05,784
Rivers, Alicia.
263
00:13:05,786 --> 00:13:08,086
One misdemeanor--
smoking weed.
264
00:13:08,088 --> 00:13:09,788
You know, when I was a kid
265
00:13:09,790 --> 00:13:11,422
I put a baseball
through a windshield.
266
00:13:11,424 --> 00:13:15,093
I was shakingbefore
they started asking
me questions.
267
00:13:15,095 --> 00:13:18,797
This chick, she did Urbano?
I'd like to know what she
takes for her nerves.
268
00:13:18,799 --> 00:13:21,149
A kid with no record.
269
00:13:21,150 --> 00:13:23,500
She didn't get a ..9mm and shoot
a drug dealer, that's for sure.
270
00:13:23,503 --> 00:13:25,236
( phone rings )
271
00:13:25,238 --> 00:13:27,138
Cragen.
272
00:13:27,140 --> 00:13:28,807
Uh-huh.
273
00:13:28,809 --> 00:13:31,209
Thank you.
274
00:13:31,211 --> 00:13:32,477
Hurley in Ballistics.
275
00:13:32,479 --> 00:13:33,878
Your Glock?
276
00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:36,381
Not used in any other shooting.
277
00:13:36,383 --> 00:13:38,483
Hey, I went back a year.
278
00:13:38,485 --> 00:13:40,485
You want to go back two, three,
all right?
279
00:13:40,487 --> 00:13:42,954
I'd love the overtime,
but who's going to pay?
280
00:13:42,956 --> 00:13:45,824
Listen, go back two years
and while you're at it,
281
00:13:45,826 --> 00:13:47,492
see if you can access
the license division files
282
00:13:47,494 --> 00:13:48,960
on your computer.
283
00:13:48,962 --> 00:13:50,228
Why?
284
00:13:50,230 --> 00:13:52,080
Why?
285
00:13:52,081 --> 00:13:53,931
Because let's see if anybody
connected to this thing
286
00:13:53,934 --> 00:13:55,433
has a gun license, okay?
287
00:13:55,435 --> 00:13:57,902
Right, then we'll check
lottery winners.
288
00:13:57,904 --> 00:14:00,138
Well, I'm just
a cockeyed optimist.
289
00:14:00,140 --> 00:14:01,606
( chuckles )
290
00:14:01,608 --> 00:14:03,241
Max?
Hmm?
291
00:14:03,243 --> 00:14:04,475
Torres, the priest--
what's his first name?
292
00:14:04,477 --> 00:14:05,610
A priest?
293
00:14:05,612 --> 00:14:06,945
Uh-huh.
294
00:14:06,947 --> 00:14:08,413
Roberto.
295
00:14:13,253 --> 00:14:15,186
Nope.
296
00:14:17,157 --> 00:14:20,208
Put up Rivers.
297
00:14:20,209 --> 00:14:23,260
See if you got one within 20
blocks of East 113th Street.
298
00:14:33,273 --> 00:14:34,539
Rivers, Anna.
299
00:14:34,541 --> 00:14:36,174
55 years old.
300
00:14:36,176 --> 00:14:38,610
642 East
117th Street.
301
00:14:38,612 --> 00:14:42,413
Registered owner of a .9mm Glock
semi-automatic.
302
00:14:42,415 --> 00:14:44,249
Yes!
303
00:14:46,620 --> 00:14:50,021
( salsa music playing )
304
00:15:01,201 --> 00:15:02,667
My gun?
305
00:15:02,669 --> 00:15:04,235
They stole it.
306
00:15:04,237 --> 00:15:06,337
Is that right?
When?
307
00:15:06,339 --> 00:15:10,108
Couple of weeks ago.
They broke in.
308
00:15:10,110 --> 00:15:13,211
Law says, if a gun is stolen,
you have to report it.
309
00:15:13,213 --> 00:15:14,612
Did you?
310
00:15:14,614 --> 00:15:16,314
Why bother?
311
00:15:16,316 --> 00:15:18,583
Would you have investigated
312
00:15:18,585 --> 00:15:21,119
or written a piece
of paper on it?
313
00:15:21,121 --> 00:15:23,655
Look, the gun was licensed,
and it was stolen.
314
00:15:23,657 --> 00:15:26,090
You want me to prove it wasn't?
315
00:15:26,092 --> 00:15:28,660
She goes to all the trouble
of getting a license
316
00:15:28,662 --> 00:15:30,995
but when her gun's stolen,
she doesn't replace it.
317
00:15:30,997 --> 00:15:32,330
I don't understand it.
318
00:15:32,332 --> 00:15:35,199
Next time she goes
to the bank deposit
319
00:15:35,201 --> 00:15:37,201
what's she going to do?
320
00:15:37,203 --> 00:15:40,672
Look, somebody killed a man
with a .9mm Glock
321
00:15:40,674 --> 00:15:42,607
just like yours.
322
00:15:42,609 --> 00:15:44,342
We find out it was
the same gun
323
00:15:44,344 --> 00:15:47,011
we're gonna wonder
why you didn't
report a burglary.
324
00:15:47,013 --> 00:15:50,048
Your granddaughter, Alicia--
325
00:15:50,050 --> 00:15:52,717
was she here the night
of the burglary?
326
00:15:52,719 --> 00:15:55,620
The night your gun got stolen?
327
00:15:59,592 --> 00:16:02,226
No, she wasn't.
328
00:16:05,332 --> 00:16:07,165
( knocking at door )
329
00:16:07,167 --> 00:16:10,168
( footsteps )
330
00:16:10,170 --> 00:16:11,703
Hey, hey, folks.
331
00:16:11,705 --> 00:16:14,172
Folks, you know
the Rivers family?
332
00:16:14,174 --> 00:16:15,707
Nope.
333
00:16:15,709 --> 00:16:17,408
Seen Alicia
tonight?
334
00:16:17,410 --> 00:16:19,010
Now you come?
335
00:16:19,012 --> 00:16:20,144
Three days later
336
00:16:20,146 --> 00:16:22,413
you want to know
where she is?
337
00:16:22,415 --> 00:16:24,415
She's at Central
Harlem Hospital.
338
00:16:24,417 --> 00:16:26,150
What?
Alicia's hurt?
339
00:16:26,152 --> 00:16:27,685
No, not Alicia,
her sister.
340
00:16:27,687 --> 00:16:30,154
What are you guys
doing here?
341
00:16:30,156 --> 00:16:31,689
Hey, we're looking
for Alicia.
342
00:16:31,691 --> 00:16:34,659
Lucy got beat up,
not Alicia.
343
00:16:36,663 --> 00:16:38,396
Six gunshots, four stabbings,
344
00:16:38,398 --> 00:16:41,632
baby who almost starved
to death-- slow night.
345
00:16:41,634 --> 00:16:44,202
You got a patient
named Rivers?
346
00:16:44,204 --> 00:16:45,370
Lucy Rivers?
347
00:16:45,372 --> 00:16:47,672
What the hell's the matter with
you cops?
348
00:16:47,674 --> 00:16:49,640
Just 'cause she couldn't talk
the first night
349
00:16:49,642 --> 00:16:51,476
you never come back?
350
00:16:51,478 --> 00:16:54,746
Somebody turned that girl
into mashed potatoes.
351
00:16:54,748 --> 00:16:56,481
Was she raped?
352
00:16:56,483 --> 00:16:58,649
She said she was mugged.
353
00:16:58,651 --> 00:17:00,218
Family honor.
354
00:17:00,220 --> 00:17:01,753
You didn't administer
a rape kit?
355
00:17:01,755 --> 00:17:04,689
I told you,
she said she wasn't raped.
356
00:17:04,691 --> 00:17:07,658
I told the grandmother,
the boyfriend.
357
00:17:07,660 --> 00:17:09,660
I told the damn priest.
358
00:17:09,662 --> 00:17:12,697
The girl's gonna need help
to get over this.
359
00:17:12,699 --> 00:17:15,700
They say patch her up
and get her home.
360
00:17:15,702 --> 00:17:20,104
The priest who was with her--
his name Torres?
361
00:17:20,106 --> 00:17:22,807
Is this nursery school?
I took roll call?
362
00:17:22,809 --> 00:17:25,109
612. The boyfriend's there.
363
00:17:25,111 --> 00:17:26,377
You fight with him.
364
00:17:26,379 --> 00:17:30,148
Lucy can't remember anything.
365
00:17:30,150 --> 00:17:33,184
That's why we told the cops
not to come back.
366
00:17:33,186 --> 00:17:36,054
We're sorry
about your girlfriend,
367
00:17:36,056 --> 00:17:39,524
but we have to talk
to her sister, Alicia.
368
00:17:39,526 --> 00:17:41,459
Alicia? Why?
369
00:17:41,461 --> 00:17:44,262
She around, Nicky?
Yeah, she's, um...
370
00:17:44,264 --> 00:17:46,264
She's downstairs.
371
00:17:46,266 --> 00:17:47,799
She's coming back.
372
00:17:47,801 --> 00:17:50,068
You go to the church fair
on Saturday night?
373
00:17:50,070 --> 00:17:51,736
No, no.
374
00:17:51,738 --> 00:17:56,507
I was here all night with Lucy.
375
00:17:56,509 --> 00:17:58,743
You're a little late
to help my sister.
376
00:17:58,745 --> 00:18:00,545
You didn't mention that
she was hurt.
377
00:18:00,547 --> 00:18:03,247
You were worried
about a drug dealer.
378
00:18:03,249 --> 00:18:05,249
the nurses if you
So, Nicky, we ask
379
00:18:05,251 --> 00:18:07,418
were around Saturday night,
they're gonna say yes, right?
380
00:18:07,420 --> 00:18:09,821
He came to the fair
for an hour.
381
00:18:09,823 --> 00:18:11,823
No, I was going to go.
I stayed here.
382
00:18:11,825 --> 00:18:15,560
You never heard
of Jose Urbano, right?
383
00:18:15,562 --> 00:18:18,529
Somebody shot him--
that's all I've heard.
384
00:18:18,531 --> 00:18:20,531
All I've heard
is that you have been
385
00:18:20,533 --> 00:18:23,301
in two places at the same time
Saturday night.
386
00:18:23,303 --> 00:18:26,471
Come on, Nicky.
Let's sit with Lucy.
387
00:18:28,274 --> 00:18:31,375
your beeper.
Dr. Wise, please check
WOMAN ( over P.A. ):
388
00:18:31,377 --> 00:18:35,379
Dr. Wise, please check
your beeper.
389
00:18:35,381 --> 00:18:36,781
You know what
we have here?
390
00:18:36,783 --> 00:18:38,749
Exactly what we had
two weeks ago-- squat.
391
00:18:38,751 --> 00:18:39,817
It's like
the Bible.
392
00:18:39,819 --> 00:18:41,419
Oh?
The Gospels.
393
00:18:41,421 --> 00:18:44,188
Four guys that are all
telling the same story,
394
00:18:44,190 --> 00:18:45,990
except each one
of them's different.
395
00:18:45,991 --> 00:18:47,791
Nicky was at the church;
no, he was at the hospital.
396
00:18:47,794 --> 00:18:49,327
The gun was stolen;
no, it wasn't.
397
00:18:49,329 --> 00:18:51,462
The sister was raped;
no, she was just beat up.
398
00:18:51,464 --> 00:18:54,765
Alicia lured Urbano away;
Alicia didn't kill Urbano.
399
00:18:54,767 --> 00:18:58,436
The only thing that makes sense
is that Urbano raped Lucy
400
00:18:58,438 --> 00:19:00,338
and Guzman shot him--
pure revenge.
401
00:19:00,340 --> 00:19:01,539
Guzman, Nicky.
402
00:19:01,541 --> 00:19:03,441
Couple of juveniles,
shoplifting.
403
00:19:03,443 --> 00:19:05,844
No guns, no felonies.
404
00:19:05,845 --> 00:19:08,246
GREEVEY:
Even if the kid did it, we got
a hole here the size of Tulsa.
405
00:19:08,248 --> 00:19:11,182
Like why did Urbano rape
Nicky's girlfriend?
406
00:19:11,184 --> 00:19:13,484
What, a guy like Urbano needs a
motive for rape?
407
00:19:13,486 --> 00:19:15,786
What about the vic?
You talk to her yet?
408
00:19:15,788 --> 00:19:17,455
Hard to get her alone.
409
00:19:17,457 --> 00:19:20,925
Go after visiting hours.
410
00:19:23,196 --> 00:19:26,564
Can you tell us what happened?
411
00:19:26,566 --> 00:19:28,332
A man...
412
00:19:28,334 --> 00:19:29,567
he took my purse.
413
00:19:29,569 --> 00:19:31,502
I didn't see him.
414
00:19:31,504 --> 00:19:33,604
Where did this happen, Lucy?
415
00:19:33,606 --> 00:19:36,641
109th Street and Lexington.
416
00:19:36,643 --> 00:19:38,576
That's a bright corner.
417
00:19:38,578 --> 00:19:41,579
You didn't get a look
at his face?
418
00:19:42,515 --> 00:19:44,582
No.
419
00:19:44,584 --> 00:19:46,651
Lucy,
do you know
420
00:19:46,653 --> 00:19:48,920
who Jose Urbano was?
421
00:19:48,922 --> 00:19:54,392
He's from around
the neighborhood, I guess.
422
00:19:54,394 --> 00:19:57,595
Was it Jose Urbano
who attacked you?
423
00:20:04,270 --> 00:20:06,237
( whispers ):
No.
424
00:20:06,239 --> 00:20:08,239
When Mr. Urbano
takes a purse
425
00:20:08,241 --> 00:20:10,241
he does a lot
of damage.
426
00:20:10,243 --> 00:20:13,477
You find anybody
who heard what was going on?
427
00:20:13,479 --> 00:20:14,946
Mm-hmm. Julie Reyes.
428
00:20:14,948 --> 00:20:17,582
She was born here,
but she knows the language.
429
00:20:17,584 --> 00:20:19,483
Julia, honey, in case you don't
430
00:20:19,485 --> 00:20:21,485
recognize
these suits, these men are cops.
431
00:20:21,487 --> 00:20:24,222
Sergeant Greevey,
Detective Logan.
432
00:20:24,224 --> 00:20:27,592
You were on duty
when Lucy Rivers
was brought in?
433
00:20:27,594 --> 00:20:29,594
That night, the next day.
434
00:20:29,596 --> 00:20:31,562
What was all
the yelling about?
435
00:20:31,564 --> 00:20:34,232
I didn't hear all of it.
436
00:20:34,234 --> 00:20:37,902
The sister and the boyfriend--
they were so upset.
437
00:20:37,904 --> 00:20:41,539
The boyfriend kept yelling,
"How could he do it?"
438
00:20:41,541 --> 00:20:44,508
What about the priest, Torres?
439
00:20:44,510 --> 00:20:46,611
You know him?
440
00:20:48,514 --> 00:20:49,914
Yeah, well, we, uh...
441
00:20:49,916 --> 00:20:52,583
we pray at his church sometimes.
442
00:20:52,585 --> 00:20:54,552
Down at the soda machine
443
00:20:54,554 --> 00:20:57,321
he took the boyfriend aside.
444
00:20:57,323 --> 00:20:59,590
He was yelling at him,
445
00:20:59,592 --> 00:21:02,593
saying God would not
forgive them.
446
00:21:02,595 --> 00:21:05,029
TORRES:
This isn't Nazi Germany.
447
00:21:05,031 --> 00:21:07,498
You can't act
like storm troopers
448
00:21:07,500 --> 00:21:09,900
terrorizing my parishioners,
accusing them of crimes!
449
00:21:09,902 --> 00:21:12,637
You're not playing it
straight with us, Father.
450
00:21:12,639 --> 00:21:14,372
A nurse overheard your
conversation with Nicky.
451
00:21:14,374 --> 00:21:15,740
Knowing the streets
the way you do,
452
00:21:15,742 --> 00:21:18,309
Father, you probably know the
law, right?
453
00:21:18,311 --> 00:21:19,610
Cover up a crime?
454
00:21:19,612 --> 00:21:21,479
That's a crime, too.
455
00:21:21,481 --> 00:21:23,614
Oh, you care so much about
crime? They left a body
456
00:21:23,616 --> 00:21:25,683
in my church last year,
dead on the altar!
457
00:21:25,685 --> 00:21:27,351
They do that in your church?
458
00:21:27,353 --> 00:21:30,288
In my church
two kids don't plan a murder
459
00:21:30,290 --> 00:21:32,390
in front of their priest.
460
00:21:32,392 --> 00:21:35,660
The law considers that
accessory and conspiracy.
461
00:21:35,662 --> 00:21:38,029
You have something to tell us?
462
00:21:38,031 --> 00:21:40,498
They say
confession's good
463
00:21:40,500 --> 00:21:42,633
for the soul.
464
00:21:42,635 --> 00:21:45,503
Look, why don't you just forget
about this?
465
00:21:45,505 --> 00:21:48,673
How many murders do you have
never get solved?
466
00:21:48,675 --> 00:21:50,941
Why don't you just let this be
one of them?
467
00:21:50,943 --> 00:21:52,743
I'm waiting for offers.
468
00:21:52,745 --> 00:21:57,014
Two weeks, all expenses paid
in downtown Altoona.
469
00:21:57,016 --> 00:21:59,016
What do you got?
The Glock? Mrs. Rivers?
470
00:21:59,018 --> 00:22:02,053
18 months ago,
in a fight in her club
471
00:22:02,055 --> 00:22:03,654
she winged a guy.
472
00:22:03,656 --> 00:22:06,557
And it matches
the slugs in Urbano.
473
00:22:06,559 --> 00:22:08,459
Ha!
474
00:22:08,461 --> 00:22:10,061
A lot of maybes.
475
00:22:10,063 --> 00:22:12,530
You got motive,
the gun, the priest
476
00:22:12,532 --> 00:22:15,633
the girl leading Urbano
out of the church.
477
00:22:15,635 --> 00:22:17,101
What did
Torres say?
478
00:22:17,103 --> 00:22:20,438
Loosely translated? Go to hell.
479
00:22:20,440 --> 00:22:22,557
Tough to sell.
480
00:22:22,558 --> 00:22:24,675
CRAGEN:
You don't arrest somebody
now then kiss it good-bye.
481
00:22:24,677 --> 00:22:27,445
The memory lapses
these guys are getting,
482
00:22:27,447 --> 00:22:29,680
two weeks-- nobody's gonna
remember Urbano's name.
483
00:22:29,682 --> 00:22:31,082
And the Guzman kid?
484
00:22:31,084 --> 00:22:34,685
He's got my vote,
but enough for an arrest? No.
485
00:22:34,687 --> 00:22:36,420
The girl's an adult.
486
00:22:36,422 --> 00:22:38,489
Get her a legal aid lawyer.
487
00:22:38,491 --> 00:22:40,658
Scare the hell out of her.
She'll roll.
488
00:22:42,462 --> 00:22:44,362
Pick her up.
489
00:22:46,666 --> 00:22:49,066
( knocking )
490
00:22:49,068 --> 00:22:51,068
Are you here
to apologize
this time?
491
00:22:51,070 --> 00:22:53,003
Alicia Rivers,
you're under arrest
492
00:22:53,005 --> 00:22:54,839
for the murder
of Jose Urbano.
What?!
493
00:22:54,841 --> 00:22:57,141
You have the right
to remain silent and refuse
494
00:22:57,143 --> 00:22:59,076
to answer questions...
This is ridiculous.
This is wrong!
495
00:22:59,078 --> 00:23:02,012
Anything you do say
may be used against you
in a court of law.
496
00:23:02,014 --> 00:23:04,448
Do you understand?
You're entitled
to an attorney...
497
00:23:06,819 --> 00:23:08,719
The charges are murder
in the second degree
498
00:23:08,721 --> 00:23:12,757
and conspiracy
in the first degree.
499
00:23:12,759 --> 00:23:15,659
Are the defendants ready
to enter a plea?
500
00:23:15,661 --> 00:23:17,795
Not guilty.
501
00:23:17,797 --> 00:23:20,798
Your Honor, the district
attorney has outdone himself.
502
00:23:20,800 --> 00:23:22,400
We respectfully submit
503
00:23:22,402 --> 00:23:24,769
that the charges
are so inflated...
504
00:23:24,771 --> 00:23:26,404
I get the message, Ms. Greene.
505
00:23:26,406 --> 00:23:28,806
Do you want
to address the bail issues?
506
00:23:28,808 --> 00:23:30,007
They're simple.
507
00:23:30,009 --> 00:23:32,910
No record, no resources,
no risk of flight.
508
00:23:32,912 --> 00:23:36,680
Ms. Green. Thank you.
We don't get much alliteration,
509
00:23:36,682 --> 00:23:39,050
Mr. Robinette?
510
00:23:39,051 --> 00:23:41,419
Your Honor, the murder charged
here is particularly vicious.
511
00:23:41,421 --> 00:23:42,787
In addition, the defendant
has relatives
512
00:23:42,789 --> 00:23:44,922
in the Commonwealth of
Puerto Rico.
513
00:23:44,924 --> 00:23:47,658
And the risk of flight
is not negligible.
514
00:23:47,660 --> 00:23:50,895
The people request
substantial bail.
515
00:23:50,897 --> 00:23:52,830
Your Honor, you know
what bail means.
516
00:23:52,832 --> 00:23:55,699
It means Alicia Rivers stays in
jail because she is poor.
517
00:23:55,701 --> 00:23:56,867
If you don't see...
518
00:23:56,869 --> 00:23:59,337
Please, Ms. Green,
519
00:23:59,338 --> 00:24:01,806
Society dinner speech.
I have heard your Legal Aid
520
00:24:01,808 --> 00:24:03,507
I'm sympathetic.
521
00:24:03,509 --> 00:24:06,944
in a homicide? I'm sorry.
But one's own recognizance
522
00:24:06,946 --> 00:24:10,781
Bail is set for the defendant
at $100,000.
523
00:24:10,783 --> 00:24:14,084
A three-legged table
would stand up better
in court than your case.
524
00:24:14,086 --> 00:24:16,854
Not to mention the fact that if
she lived on Park Avenue
525
00:24:16,856 --> 00:24:18,272
you wouldn't
have filed.
526
00:24:18,273 --> 00:24:19,689
Wait a minute.
What do minorities
complain about?
527
00:24:19,692 --> 00:24:21,592
They kill whites,
they get prosecuted.
528
00:24:21,594 --> 00:24:24,462
They kill each other,
the system doesn't care.
529
00:24:24,464 --> 00:24:25,563
I never realized
530
00:24:25,565 --> 00:24:27,097
that passions
about minorities
531
00:24:27,099 --> 00:24:28,899
ran so high
in this office.
532
00:24:28,901 --> 00:24:30,868
Next time you
care so much
533
00:24:30,870 --> 00:24:32,736
pick a case you can win.
534
00:24:32,738 --> 00:24:35,840
We always care when we have
a criminal conspiracy.
535
00:24:35,842 --> 00:24:38,576
Who said that
when the links rattle
536
00:24:38,578 --> 00:24:40,511
they're probably in a chain?
537
00:24:40,513 --> 00:24:43,848
Ah! The light dawns.
538
00:24:43,850 --> 00:24:46,016
You're after the boy.
539
00:24:46,018 --> 00:24:48,819
You're looking for a deal.
540
00:24:48,821 --> 00:24:50,821
You put a young girl
541
00:24:50,823 --> 00:24:52,857
through the indignity of
jail for no other reason
542
00:24:52,859 --> 00:24:54,859
but to force her to talk?
543
00:24:54,861 --> 00:24:57,995
If she's protecting
somebody, it is not in
her interest to refuse.
544
00:24:57,997 --> 00:25:00,865
How could I refuse
when you didn't offer?
545
00:25:00,867 --> 00:25:02,132
But don't bother.
546
00:25:02,134 --> 00:25:04,001
The way I read the penal law
547
00:25:04,003 --> 00:25:05,135
conspiracy means
548
00:25:05,137 --> 00:25:07,872
people have to agree
to commit a crime.
549
00:25:07,874 --> 00:25:10,241
You can't prove
550
00:25:10,242 --> 00:25:12,609
that Nicky and Alicia
agreed on the time of day.
551
00:25:12,612 --> 00:25:14,979
This case is about revenge.
and the last time I looked,
552
00:25:14,981 --> 00:25:16,747
that is not
a valid criminal defense.
553
00:25:16,749 --> 00:25:18,616
We have evidence that will prove
554
00:25:18,618 --> 00:25:21,619
that your client conspired
to commit murder.
555
00:25:21,621 --> 00:25:22,820
Really?
556
00:25:22,822 --> 00:25:25,890
You have so much evidence,
you're accusing her
557
00:25:25,892 --> 00:25:29,760
of conspiring with someone
who isn't even charged.
558
00:25:29,762 --> 00:25:31,762
Want some advice
on this one gentlemen?
559
00:25:31,764 --> 00:25:32,897
Cut your losses.
560
00:25:32,899 --> 00:25:35,933
You're going to end up
feasting on crow.
561
00:25:35,935 --> 00:25:37,902
Ms. Green has a point.
562
00:25:37,904 --> 00:25:39,036
No, Alicia walked him out.
563
00:25:39,038 --> 00:25:40,137
The grandmother's gun
killed Urbano.
564
00:25:40,139 --> 00:25:43,140
If I had to win on conspiracy,
I would
565
00:25:43,142 --> 00:25:45,543
but I want the Guzman kid for
murder.
566
00:25:45,545 --> 00:25:47,611
You moved on the girl too soon.
567
00:25:47,613 --> 00:25:48,879
Would you like to ramrod
this case?
568
00:25:48,881 --> 00:25:51,916
Your ability to forget
people's skin color
569
00:25:51,918 --> 00:25:53,968
is admirable.
570
00:25:53,969 --> 00:25:56,019
Unfortunately, if we lose,
white people think
571
00:25:56,022 --> 00:25:58,923
that Puerto Ricans
get away with murder
572
00:25:58,925 --> 00:26:01,559
and if you don't
get the Guzman boy
573
00:26:01,561 --> 00:26:03,928
it looks like
selective prosecution.
574
00:26:03,930 --> 00:26:05,496
And if we drop it
575
00:26:05,497 --> 00:26:07,063
we have a clear-cut case
of revenge
576
00:26:07,066 --> 00:26:08,966
and there's
daily obstruction.
577
00:26:08,968 --> 00:26:11,735
The girl raped,
her sister on trial.
578
00:26:11,737 --> 00:26:13,203
Shambala Green with a jury.
579
00:26:13,205 --> 00:26:15,205
She'll milk them
till they moo.
580
00:26:15,207 --> 00:26:16,807
You see a winner?
581
00:26:16,809 --> 00:26:20,778
The girl's tied to the victim
and the gun.
582
00:26:20,780 --> 00:26:22,913
If Judge Markham
doesn't dismiss.
583
00:26:22,915 --> 00:26:25,149
The whole thing
is circumstantial.
584
00:26:25,151 --> 00:26:27,151
The girl works for a priest,
no less.
585
00:26:27,153 --> 00:26:30,054
To a jury, she's practically
got a halo.
586
00:26:30,056 --> 00:26:32,022
Do you have any helpful
suggestions?
587
00:26:34,160 --> 00:26:35,859
Get the priest to talk.
588
00:26:35,861 --> 00:26:37,995
And try the grandmother, too.
589
00:26:37,997 --> 00:26:39,129
Thank you.
590
00:26:39,131 --> 00:26:41,832
Cops-- a lot
of good they do us
591
00:26:41,834 --> 00:26:43,667
in this neighborhood.
592
00:26:43,669 --> 00:26:46,670
Is that why
you didn't call them
593
00:26:46,672 --> 00:26:48,939
when your gun
was stolen?
594
00:26:48,941 --> 00:26:54,044
Your gun, your granddaughter,
and no report of a break-in.
595
00:26:54,046 --> 00:26:55,946
Ms. Rivers,
596
00:26:55,948 --> 00:26:59,817
do you know what
women's prisons are like?
597
00:26:59,819 --> 00:27:01,719
It's not
going to happen.
598
00:27:01,721 --> 00:27:03,020
Everybody says so.
599
00:27:03,022 --> 00:27:03,988
Everybody?
600
00:27:03,990 --> 00:27:05,823
You mean Father Torres?
601
00:27:05,825 --> 00:27:07,925
I talked to Shambala,
the lawyer.
602
00:27:07,927 --> 00:27:08,926
Ms. Green
603
00:27:08,928 --> 00:27:10,694
is a legal aid lawyer.
604
00:27:10,696 --> 00:27:13,097
Legal aid loses two-thirds
of its cases.
605
00:27:13,099 --> 00:27:16,967
The district attorney
wins two-thirds.
606
00:27:16,969 --> 00:27:19,103
Do you want to gamble
with Ms. Green?
607
00:27:19,105 --> 00:27:22,806
Your granddaughter, Lucy,
is in the hospital.
608
00:27:22,808 --> 00:27:24,074
Alicia is in jail.
609
00:27:24,076 --> 00:27:27,945
Witnesses will place Alicia
with the victim.
610
00:27:27,947 --> 00:27:32,216
Ballistics experts will testify
your gun was used.
611
00:27:32,218 --> 00:27:35,085
A nurse will testify
she heard
612
00:27:35,087 --> 00:27:37,921
Father Torres
warning Alicia and Nicky.
613
00:27:37,923 --> 00:27:41,191
15 or 20 years from now,
when Alicia gets out of jail
614
00:27:41,193 --> 00:27:43,961
I hope Father Torres
and Ms. Green
615
00:27:43,963 --> 00:27:45,129
are waiting for her.
616
00:27:45,131 --> 00:27:47,865
Look, you're trying
to push me around.
617
00:27:47,867 --> 00:27:52,903
No. I'm trying to help you,
and your granddaughter.
618
00:27:52,905 --> 00:27:57,041
And she doesn't go to prison?
619
00:27:57,043 --> 00:27:58,308
I can't promise that.
620
00:27:58,310 --> 00:28:02,112
But if there is any time,
it will be minimal.
621
00:28:06,318 --> 00:28:08,052
Time for
the truth
622
00:28:08,054 --> 00:28:09,186
to come out.
623
00:28:09,188 --> 00:28:12,256
You got a car?
624
00:28:12,258 --> 00:28:16,794
GREEN:
Anna, you have to listen to me.
625
00:28:16,796 --> 00:28:18,228
I told you about this.
626
00:28:18,230 --> 00:28:20,964
They will try
any trick in the book.
627
00:28:20,966 --> 00:28:23,000
This is my trick.
628
00:28:23,002 --> 00:28:26,870
GUARD:
Green for
Alicia Rivers.
629
00:28:30,910 --> 00:28:32,209
Alicia, how are you?
630
00:28:32,211 --> 00:28:33,611
I'm all right.
631
00:28:33,612 --> 00:28:35,012
Your grandmother wants
me to tell them.
632
00:28:35,014 --> 00:28:35,979
Shut up, you!
633
00:28:35,981 --> 00:28:37,548
What is this?
634
00:28:37,549 --> 00:28:39,116
Grandma, no!
( indistinct shouting )
635
00:28:39,118 --> 00:28:41,218
NICKY:
Alicia, you want me to tell?
636
00:28:41,220 --> 00:28:45,322
Are you going
to let her die in jail?
637
00:28:46,726 --> 00:28:48,726
Urbano raped Lucy.
638
00:28:48,728 --> 00:28:49,993
Nicky killed him.
639
00:28:49,995 --> 00:28:54,264
BAILIFF:
in the second degree.
640
00:28:54,266 --> 00:28:57,868
Your Honor,
may we approach?
641
00:29:03,042 --> 00:29:04,942
Now what's the problem?
642
00:29:04,944 --> 00:29:06,777
We haven't even gotten
to bail yet.
643
00:29:06,779 --> 00:29:08,045
Ms. Green represents
the defendant
644
00:29:08,047 --> 00:29:11,014
to be tried jointly
with Mr. Guzman.
645
00:29:11,016 --> 00:29:12,583
Clear conflict
of interest.
646
00:29:12,584 --> 00:29:14,151
Hmm, now I get why
this was assigned to me.
647
00:29:14,153 --> 00:29:17,087
It's the same case as the girl.
Yes, it is,
Your Honor,
648
00:29:17,089 --> 00:29:18,188
but I don't
see any conflict...
649
00:29:18,190 --> 00:29:19,690
Please.
650
00:29:19,691 --> 00:29:21,191
Ms. Green, of course there's
conflict.
651
00:29:21,193 --> 00:29:25,329
If he wants to roll the girl
against Mr. Guzman here
652
00:29:25,331 --> 00:29:27,898
you can't defend both of them.
653
00:29:27,900 --> 00:29:32,002
My clerk read
the grand jury minutes.
654
00:29:32,004 --> 00:29:34,171
I was going
to do the girl's trial
655
00:29:34,173 --> 00:29:37,274
but I was considering
dismissal sua sponte.
656
00:29:37,276 --> 00:29:40,010
We feel there's a case.
657
00:29:40,012 --> 00:29:41,662
It's a judgment call,
Mr. Robinette.
658
00:29:41,663 --> 00:29:43,313
If you want to go back
to the grand jury
659
00:29:43,315 --> 00:29:46,350
and get better evidence,
I'll let you re-present.
660
00:29:46,352 --> 00:29:49,052
In the interest of justice,
I'm dismissing on the girl.
661
00:29:49,054 --> 00:29:51,021
I'll let her represent the boy.
662
00:29:51,023 --> 00:29:54,091
Now, let's see
if we can get some bail here.
663
00:29:54,093 --> 00:29:55,959
About bail,
Your Honor...
664
00:29:55,961 --> 00:29:57,478
Please,
665
00:29:57,479 --> 00:29:58,996
Ms. Green, spare me
your usual sanctimonies.
666
00:29:58,998 --> 00:30:01,131
I'm not in the mood. Okay?
667
00:30:10,042 --> 00:30:12,910
to enter a plea?
Uh, now, does the defendant wish
668
00:30:12,912 --> 00:30:15,813
Not guilty,
Your Honor.
669
00:30:15,815 --> 00:30:17,414
Bail $200,000.
670
00:30:17,416 --> 00:30:19,983
Short date.
671
00:30:19,985 --> 00:30:22,419
I'm going
for temporary insanity.
672
00:30:22,421 --> 00:30:24,288
Yours or your client's?
673
00:30:24,290 --> 00:30:26,290
Murder two.
674
00:30:26,292 --> 00:30:29,059
He was not going
to kill the guy.
675
00:30:29,061 --> 00:30:30,427
He just wanted
to talk.
676
00:30:30,429 --> 00:30:31,929
Seven shots from a
semiautomatic?
677
00:30:31,931 --> 00:30:33,397
What language is that?
678
00:30:33,399 --> 00:30:35,299
I'll interpret for the jury.
He was enraged.
679
00:30:35,301 --> 00:30:37,835
He didn't know what
the hell he was doing.
680
00:30:37,837 --> 00:30:39,203
The sister was in the hospital
on Wednesday.
681
00:30:39,205 --> 00:30:41,138
The shooting happened
on Saturday.
682
00:30:41,140 --> 00:30:43,140
He was insane
for three whole days?
683
00:30:43,142 --> 00:30:47,077
In a moment of normal,
excusable, and acceptable rage
684
00:30:47,079 --> 00:30:49,046
after his fiance was raped.
685
00:30:49,048 --> 00:30:52,316
This is a nice-looking kid,
very appealing.
686
00:30:52,318 --> 00:30:55,419
I believe the jury
will identify with him
687
00:30:55,421 --> 00:30:58,055
and the press
will crucify you.
688
00:30:58,057 --> 00:31:00,958
Let's discuss
reckless endangerment.
689
00:31:00,960 --> 00:31:02,993
Oh, please.
690
00:31:02,994 --> 00:31:05,027
He endangered a man's life
with seven shots?
691
00:31:05,030 --> 00:31:08,432
My dictionary calls that
more than endangering.
692
00:31:08,434 --> 00:31:10,000
Manslaughter one.
693
00:31:10,002 --> 00:31:12,186
He does three years.
694
00:31:12,187 --> 00:31:14,371
Manslaughter two--
he does a year on the farm.
He sees a shrink.
695
00:31:14,373 --> 00:31:17,341
No deal.
You're really gonna
push this, aren't you?
696
00:31:17,343 --> 00:31:18,442
All the way.
697
00:31:18,444 --> 00:31:20,177
This is a good kid!
698
00:31:20,179 --> 00:31:21,979
A role model for minority youth.
699
00:31:21,981 --> 00:31:24,147
You got a problem,
put seven shots into him.
700
00:31:24,149 --> 00:31:26,183
A drug dealer and a rapist?
701
00:31:26,185 --> 00:31:28,118
What are you
telling me?
702
00:31:28,120 --> 00:31:31,154
The proper compensation
for a human life is one year?
703
00:31:31,156 --> 00:31:33,073
What's next?
704
00:31:33,074 --> 00:31:34,991
A retarded petty thief--
you do a year and a half.
705
00:31:34,994 --> 00:31:36,159
Unarmed burglar-- two years.
706
00:31:36,161 --> 00:31:38,128
A white, Anglo-Saxon
Protestant-- 25 to life.
707
00:31:38,130 --> 00:31:41,031
The commandment says
"thou shalt not kill."
708
00:31:41,033 --> 00:31:42,099
It does not say
709
00:31:42,101 --> 00:31:44,134
"thou shalt not
kill nice people."
710
00:31:44,136 --> 00:31:47,004
The boy's girlfriend raped,
beaten to a pulp.
711
00:31:47,006 --> 00:31:51,141
You won't find 12 people
who will convict him
712
00:31:51,143 --> 00:31:53,543
of criminal
possession of a weapon.
713
00:31:53,545 --> 00:31:56,113
Fine, you take the plea
and the press conference, too.
714
00:31:56,115 --> 00:31:59,016
You got a suit of armor and a
white charger waiting outside?
715
00:31:59,018 --> 00:32:00,550
The boy is not
a cold-blooded killer.
716
00:32:00,552 --> 00:32:02,286
That's fine,
but where does it stop?
717
00:32:02,288 --> 00:32:04,288
Do we write a revenge exception
in the penal law?
718
00:32:04,290 --> 00:32:06,156
Now listen,
why don't you...?
First Green, now you.
719
00:32:06,158 --> 00:32:08,158
I must be way behind the
curve of judicial thinking.
720
00:32:08,160 --> 00:32:10,093
I'm not saying
let him go.
721
00:32:10,095 --> 00:32:11,094
Plead him.
722
00:32:11,096 --> 00:32:13,230
Have him do
a couple of years.
723
00:32:13,232 --> 00:32:16,233
And let's get it
off our plate.
724
00:32:22,174 --> 00:32:23,140
We take a plea.
725
00:32:23,142 --> 00:32:24,274
It's an order.
726
00:32:24,276 --> 00:32:25,275
Forget it.
What?
727
00:32:25,277 --> 00:32:27,277
I was just coming
to tell you.
728
00:32:27,279 --> 00:32:30,347
We're getting visitors
from another planet.
729
00:32:30,349 --> 00:32:31,581
Green resigned.
There's a new counsel.
730
00:32:31,583 --> 00:32:33,483
Resigned? In favor of who?
731
00:32:33,485 --> 00:32:35,953
A showboat from Dallas--
Chet Burton.
732
00:32:35,955 --> 00:32:37,587
Flew in this morning.
He's taking it, no fee.
733
00:32:37,589 --> 00:32:39,189
And, yes, I checked--
734
00:32:39,191 --> 00:32:41,291
he's admitted
to the New York Bar.
735
00:32:41,293 --> 00:32:43,026
You're a fine lawyer, Mr. Stone.
736
00:32:43,028 --> 00:32:45,128
I've heard
a whole lot about you.
737
00:32:45,130 --> 00:32:47,130
Thanks, sir. I've read
a great deal about you.
738
00:32:47,132 --> 00:32:50,033
I'm afraid you severely
misunderstand this case.
739
00:32:50,035 --> 00:32:51,201
How so?
740
00:32:51,203 --> 00:32:53,036
According to his culture
741
00:32:53,038 --> 00:32:55,138
Nicky Guzman
did the right thing.
742
00:32:55,140 --> 00:32:58,141
See, most first-generation
immigrant neighborhoods
743
00:32:58,143 --> 00:33:01,211
somebody rapes your woman,
you go get a gun.
744
00:33:01,213 --> 00:33:05,215
Up here in New York,
you go get a warrant for arrest.
745
00:33:05,217 --> 00:33:08,318
I'd like to remind you
that we have a witness
746
00:33:08,320 --> 00:33:11,021
who heard the boy
plan the murder.
747
00:33:11,023 --> 00:33:12,622
My motion, Mr. Stone.
748
00:33:12,624 --> 00:33:16,460
Start with People v. Gates,
New York Court of Appeals
749
00:33:16,462 --> 00:33:18,595
on priest-penitent
privilege.
750
00:33:18,597 --> 00:33:20,464
I don't think Father Torres
751
00:33:20,466 --> 00:33:23,133
will ever spend any time
on the witness stand.
752
00:33:23,135 --> 00:33:24,201
You know
753
00:33:24,203 --> 00:33:26,636
my whole life
as a lawyer--
754
00:33:26,638 --> 00:33:29,339
27 years in court--
755
00:33:29,341 --> 00:33:32,542
you know how many
criminal cases I've lost?
756
00:33:34,113 --> 00:33:37,247
Zero. Zip. Not a one.
757
00:33:37,249 --> 00:33:39,216
Oh, really?
758
00:33:41,053 --> 00:33:44,154
Well, this is not Texas, sir.
759
00:33:44,156 --> 00:33:47,357
If I were you,
I wouldn't be too sure of that.
760
00:33:51,563 --> 00:33:54,064
BURTON:
Howdy, Mr. Stone.
761
00:33:54,066 --> 00:33:57,567
A new day, a new voice--
what will tomorrow bring?
762
00:33:57,569 --> 00:34:00,103
Oh, I get up some mornings
I just naturally hear
763
00:34:00,105 --> 00:34:02,039
my pappy's twang in my head.
764
00:34:02,041 --> 00:34:03,573
What are you dressed
for, a rodeo?
765
00:34:03,575 --> 00:34:04,574
Yup.
766
00:34:04,576 --> 00:34:06,109
Legal bull riding.
767
00:34:06,111 --> 00:34:07,811
Excuse me,
one question.
768
00:34:07,813 --> 00:34:10,147
Shoot.
How did you find
out about this case?
769
00:34:10,149 --> 00:34:13,050
It was only on page
seven in the New York papers.
770
00:34:13,052 --> 00:34:14,618
I hadn't heard a word about it
771
00:34:14,620 --> 00:34:17,354
until Nicky's lawyer
called me-- a Ms. Green.
772
00:34:17,356 --> 00:34:18,455
Oh, I see.
773
00:34:18,457 --> 00:34:21,792
Said you needed
to be taught a lesson.
774
00:34:21,794 --> 00:34:24,061
What's in it for you?
775
00:34:24,063 --> 00:34:26,463
Well, I have saved
many rich folks
776
00:34:26,465 --> 00:34:28,065
from unjust incarceration.
777
00:34:28,067 --> 00:34:30,067
As much as I'm able
778
00:34:30,069 --> 00:34:34,571
I plan to give the poor
the same consideration.
779
00:34:34,573 --> 00:34:37,207
STONE:
Mrs. Rivers, you told police
780
00:34:37,209 --> 00:34:40,444
that your gun was stolen
in a burglary.
781
00:34:40,446 --> 00:34:41,545
Is that true?
782
00:34:41,547 --> 00:34:43,447
No.
783
00:34:43,449 --> 00:34:47,684
When did you first notice
the gun was missing?
784
00:34:47,686 --> 00:34:49,486
On Saturday night.
785
00:34:49,488 --> 00:34:51,721
The night Mr. Urbano was killed.
786
00:34:51,723 --> 00:34:53,590
Yes.
787
00:34:53,592 --> 00:34:56,560
Was Nicky Guzman
at your club that night?
788
00:35:00,699 --> 00:35:02,632
Yes.
789
00:35:02,634 --> 00:35:06,103
Had you ever shown him
where you kept your gun?
790
00:35:06,105 --> 00:35:08,572
He knew it was
in the cash drawer
791
00:35:08,574 --> 00:35:10,240
under the register.
792
00:35:10,242 --> 00:35:11,508
Thank you.
793
00:35:11,510 --> 00:35:13,610
No further questions.
794
00:35:13,612 --> 00:35:15,745
Nicky said he wanted
to fight Urbano,
795
00:35:15,747 --> 00:35:17,514
to teach him a lesson.
796
00:35:17,516 --> 00:35:20,117
Did he show you the gun
he was carrying?
797
00:35:20,119 --> 00:35:21,251
Yes.
798
00:35:21,253 --> 00:35:23,687
But he said
he only wanted a fist fight.
799
00:35:23,689 --> 00:35:24,688
Objection.
800
00:35:24,690 --> 00:35:26,156
Asked and answered.
801
00:35:26,158 --> 00:35:27,224
Sustained.
802
00:35:27,226 --> 00:35:28,859
Your witness.
803
00:35:35,267 --> 00:35:40,270
Miss Rivers, on the morning
after Mr. Urbano was shot
804
00:35:40,272 --> 00:35:43,773
did you go to church
with Nicky Guzman?
805
00:35:43,775 --> 00:35:45,575
Yes.
806
00:35:45,577 --> 00:35:48,678
And did Mr. Guzman
take confession that morning?
807
00:35:48,680 --> 00:35:50,147
Yes.
808
00:35:50,149 --> 00:35:52,883
Now about this cocaine dealer
who was shot...
809
00:35:52,885 --> 00:35:53,884
Objection.
810
00:35:53,886 --> 00:35:55,552
Characterization.
811
00:35:55,554 --> 00:35:56,553
Sustained.
812
00:35:56,555 --> 00:35:58,188
Miss Rivers,
813
00:35:58,189 --> 00:35:59,822
did you have
a personal relationship
814
00:35:59,825 --> 00:36:00,824
with Jose Urbano?
815
00:36:00,826 --> 00:36:01,925
Objection.
Relevance.
816
00:36:01,927 --> 00:36:03,760
Overruled.
817
00:36:03,761 --> 00:36:05,594
I'll let it go, Mr. Burton,
but watch your step.
818
00:36:05,597 --> 00:36:07,564
The witness will answer.
819
00:36:07,566 --> 00:36:09,533
Jose tried to sell me crack.
820
00:36:09,535 --> 00:36:10,534
Objection.
821
00:36:10,536 --> 00:36:12,536
The victim is not on trial here.
822
00:36:12,538 --> 00:36:13,637
Sustained.
823
00:36:13,639 --> 00:36:15,572
The jury
will disregard the answer.
824
00:36:15,574 --> 00:36:17,841
Mr. Burton, you will
confine yourself to events.
825
00:36:17,843 --> 00:36:20,544
Miss Rivers, were you aware
826
00:36:20,546 --> 00:36:25,715
that Jose Urbano was known
to carry a gun at all times?
827
00:36:25,717 --> 00:36:26,917
STONE:
Your Honor?
828
00:36:26,919 --> 00:36:29,886
You are straining my good will,
Mr. Burton.
829
00:36:29,888 --> 00:36:34,591
Since I cannot ask any questions
about the sainted Señor Urbano
830
00:36:34,593 --> 00:36:37,861
I have no further questions
of this witness.
831
00:36:37,863 --> 00:36:39,496
Manslaughter two.
832
00:36:39,498 --> 00:36:43,533
In this state, Mr. Stone,
what can you get for that?
833
00:36:43,535 --> 00:36:46,937
Mr. Guzman does two years.
834
00:36:46,939 --> 00:36:48,738
He doesn't do two seconds.
835
00:36:48,740 --> 00:36:50,807
Criminally negligent homicide.
836
00:36:50,809 --> 00:36:54,611
And you put him in a program
where he gets his head candled.
837
00:36:54,613 --> 00:36:57,681
It was an accident. The gun went
off by itself seven times?
838
00:36:57,683 --> 00:36:59,282
You know what a "bubba" is?
839
00:36:59,284 --> 00:37:01,818
Up here, you call them
"rednecks."
840
00:37:01,820 --> 00:37:03,620
Where I come from
841
00:37:03,622 --> 00:37:06,356
all the men got shotguns
in their pickups
842
00:37:06,358 --> 00:37:08,892
and a can of beer in their hand.
843
00:37:08,894 --> 00:37:13,363
My shotgun stays in the house,
and I drink California cabernet
844
00:37:13,365 --> 00:37:15,865
but in my heart,
I'm still a bubba.
845
00:37:15,867 --> 00:37:20,237
That's why there's no plea
unless the boy does no time.
846
00:37:20,239 --> 00:37:23,773
The "boy" put seven holes
in somebody.
847
00:37:23,775 --> 00:37:24,774
Somebody.
848
00:37:24,776 --> 00:37:26,810
Drug-dealing rapist scum.
849
00:37:26,812 --> 00:37:30,714
Most towns in Texas,
the kid would get a medal.
850
00:37:30,716 --> 00:37:35,552
You may not like my style,
Mr. Stone, but this I believe--
851
00:37:35,554 --> 00:37:40,657
you don't put people in prison
for defending their loved ones.
852
00:37:40,659 --> 00:37:42,726
Defending or avenging?
853
00:37:42,728 --> 00:37:46,730
I'll let the jury
split that hair.
854
00:37:49,901 --> 00:37:52,302
You're due in chambers at 2:00.
855
00:37:52,304 --> 00:37:54,904
Markham wants to talk
about the priest.
856
00:37:54,906 --> 00:37:57,574
BURTON:
You can't allow it!
857
00:37:57,576 --> 00:37:58,942
If he testifies,
858
00:37:58,944 --> 00:38:00,877
you destroy the sanctity
859
00:38:00,879 --> 00:38:02,045
of the priest/penitent
relationship.
860
00:38:02,047 --> 00:38:04,681
If he's not acting
as his spiritual advisor,
861
00:38:04,683 --> 00:38:06,683
if it's not confession
there's no privilege.
862
00:38:06,685 --> 00:38:09,586
For God's sake, he was at the
hospital as a priest.
863
00:38:09,588 --> 00:38:11,655
Did he wear a collar? Yes.
864
00:38:11,657 --> 00:38:13,690
Did he minister
to his flock? Yes.
865
00:38:13,692 --> 00:38:16,760
Unfortunately,
Alicia Rivers called the priest,
866
00:38:16,762 --> 00:38:18,862
not your client.
867
00:38:18,863 --> 00:38:20,963
Personally, I have
a very hard time believing
868
00:38:20,966 --> 00:38:23,767
that he fell to his knees
in the I.C.U.
869
00:38:23,769 --> 00:38:26,369
and mistook it
for a confessional.
870
00:38:27,839 --> 00:38:29,939
I have made a decision.
871
00:38:29,941 --> 00:38:31,808
Torres will testify.
872
00:38:31,810 --> 00:38:33,843
And while I'm about it
873
00:38:33,845 --> 00:38:39,649
it will do you good to remember
this is New York, not Texas.
874
00:38:39,651 --> 00:38:43,086
Permission to treat this witness
as hostile, Your Honor.
875
00:38:43,088 --> 00:38:44,688
Granted.
876
00:38:44,690 --> 00:38:47,757
Did Lucy Rivers tell you
that she had been raped?
877
00:38:47,759 --> 00:38:49,392
Counselor?
878
00:38:49,394 --> 00:38:52,862
I have no problem
with the question, Your Honor.
879
00:38:52,864 --> 00:38:55,832
Yes, she told me
she had been raped.
880
00:38:55,834 --> 00:38:58,668
Did she tell you
she had been raped
881
00:38:58,670 --> 00:39:00,003
by Jose Urbano?
882
00:39:00,005 --> 00:39:01,705
Yes.
883
00:39:01,707 --> 00:39:03,740
And did the defendant tell you
884
00:39:03,742 --> 00:39:05,975
that he was planning
on killing Jose Urbano
885
00:39:05,977 --> 00:39:07,877
because he had raped Lucy
Rivers?
886
00:39:07,879 --> 00:39:10,046
He said he was going
to get a gun.
887
00:39:10,048 --> 00:39:12,682
When you left the hospital
with Nicky that night,
888
00:39:12,684 --> 00:39:14,784
what did he do on the way out?
889
00:39:14,786 --> 00:39:18,021
He put his fist
through a plate glass window--
890
00:39:18,023 --> 00:39:19,356
a phone booth.
891
00:39:19,358 --> 00:39:21,057
But he was very angry.
892
00:39:21,059 --> 00:39:24,027
Thank you. No further questions,
Your Honor.
893
00:39:28,767 --> 00:39:30,767
Father Torres,
894
00:39:30,769 --> 00:39:34,037
please tell the court
about your relationship
895
00:39:34,039 --> 00:39:36,873
with Nicky Guzman
and Lucy Rivers.
896
00:39:36,875 --> 00:39:39,142
They're engaged
to be married,
897
00:39:39,144 --> 00:39:41,878
and they're in my counseling
class for new couples.
898
00:39:41,880 --> 00:39:46,683
Now, in your experience
with members of your parish
899
00:39:46,685 --> 00:39:49,753
how serious is
the crime of rape?
900
00:39:49,755 --> 00:39:52,722
There's a sense of...
901
00:39:52,724 --> 00:39:54,758
terrible shame.
902
00:39:54,760 --> 00:39:59,429
It's like, you're a lawyer
and your son is a thief.
903
00:39:59,431 --> 00:40:04,501
The woman is shamed,
the husband is shamed,
904
00:40:04,503 --> 00:40:06,503
the whole family.
905
00:40:06,505 --> 00:40:09,739
In a way, they've taken more
than her own life.
906
00:40:13,812 --> 00:40:15,545
Let's get back to the window.
907
00:40:15,547 --> 00:40:19,182
You ever put your fist
through a plate glass window?
908
00:40:19,184 --> 00:40:21,050
Objection, Your Honor.
Relevance.
909
00:40:21,052 --> 00:40:22,519
We're talking about
plate glass windows.
910
00:40:22,521 --> 00:40:24,821
I'd like to know a little more
on the subject.
911
00:40:24,823 --> 00:40:25,822
I'll allow it.
912
00:40:25,824 --> 00:40:27,724
You may answer the question.
913
00:40:27,726 --> 00:40:30,560
When I was in the Marines,
before I became a priest,
914
00:40:30,562 --> 00:40:32,128
I got drunk on leave
915
00:40:32,130 --> 00:40:34,998
and I busted
a couple of windows, yes.
916
00:40:35,000 --> 00:40:36,166
Ever kill anybody?
917
00:40:36,168 --> 00:40:37,767
Your Honor?
Mr. Burton...
918
00:40:37,769 --> 00:40:39,436
No, I haven't.
919
00:40:39,437 --> 00:40:41,104
You think most people
that break plate glass windows
920
00:40:41,106 --> 00:40:42,205
end up killing someone, Father?
921
00:40:42,207 --> 00:40:43,807
Objection.
922
00:40:43,809 --> 00:40:45,425
Sustained.
Mr. Burton,
923
00:40:45,426 --> 00:40:47,042
you will not ask for conclusions
in this court room.
924
00:40:47,045 --> 00:40:49,879
The jury will disregard
that last remark.
925
00:40:49,881 --> 00:40:53,817
And you will play by the rules
here, or you'll be in trouble.
926
00:40:55,787 --> 00:40:57,987
The gun was on the ground,
not near his hand?
927
00:40:57,989 --> 00:40:59,489
That's correct.
928
00:40:59,491 --> 00:41:01,224
It was directly
under his waist.
929
00:41:01,226 --> 00:41:02,592
It probably fell...
930
00:41:02,594 --> 00:41:04,027
Objection.
931
00:41:04,028 --> 00:41:05,461
The detective is supposin'
and concludin'.
932
00:41:05,464 --> 00:41:06,463
Sustained.
933
00:41:06,465 --> 00:41:07,764
Had the gun
934
00:41:07,766 --> 00:41:08,531
been fired?
935
00:41:08,533 --> 00:41:09,532
No.
936
00:41:09,534 --> 00:41:11,568
Was there
any evidence
937
00:41:11,570 --> 00:41:13,903
that the victim
attempted to fire the gun?
938
00:41:13,905 --> 00:41:16,139
None.
939
00:41:16,141 --> 00:41:17,607
Your witness.
940
00:41:22,013 --> 00:41:23,847
This gun, Detective--
941
00:41:23,849 --> 00:41:27,150
were Mr. Urbano's
fingerprints on it?
942
00:41:27,152 --> 00:41:28,518
It was his gun, so...
943
00:41:28,520 --> 00:41:30,620
Any other prints on it?
944
00:41:30,622 --> 00:41:32,021
No.
945
00:41:32,023 --> 00:41:34,958
So this gun was not
in his pants.
946
00:41:34,960 --> 00:41:36,593
It was out.
Is that correct?
947
00:41:36,595 --> 00:41:38,895
Yes.
948
00:41:38,896 --> 00:41:41,196
So Mr. Urbano could have drawn
his weapon and been shot
949
00:41:41,199 --> 00:41:43,533
by somebody defending himself,
isn't that possible?
950
00:41:43,535 --> 00:41:44,934
Objection.
951
00:41:44,936 --> 00:41:46,035
That's ridiculous.
952
00:41:46,037 --> 00:41:47,036
Sustained.
953
00:41:47,038 --> 00:41:48,872
But isn't it
possible?
954
00:41:48,874 --> 00:41:49,873
Mr. Burton!
955
00:41:49,875 --> 00:41:51,541
Excuse me,
Your Honor.
956
00:41:51,543 --> 00:41:54,143
No more questions.
957
00:41:54,145 --> 00:41:57,013
ROBINETTE:
Seed of doubt.
958
00:41:57,015 --> 00:41:58,882
Sounds like
self-defense.
959
00:41:58,884 --> 00:42:00,617
Mr. Stone, the Spanish loverboy
shooting,
960
00:42:00,619 --> 00:42:01,918
detective
named Greevey called.
961
00:42:01,920 --> 00:42:04,020
He wants to see you
at Rikers.
962
00:42:04,022 --> 00:42:05,588
GREEVEY:
Nuñez, Ramon, 21.
963
00:42:05,590 --> 00:42:08,925
Picked up
in a sweep.
964
00:42:08,927 --> 00:42:11,661
College student
and a crack addict.
965
00:42:11,663 --> 00:42:13,062
D.A. to see Nuñez.
966
00:42:13,064 --> 00:42:16,199
Had crack on him
when they picked him up.
967
00:42:16,201 --> 00:42:18,635
Asked to see
a homicide detective.
968
00:42:18,637 --> 00:42:21,638
DEFENDER:
No information
without a deal.
969
00:42:21,640 --> 00:42:24,541
I have to get out of this.
I have a conviction.
970
00:42:24,543 --> 00:42:26,576
I'll lose my scholarship.
971
00:42:26,578 --> 00:42:31,581
If he has something we can use,
criminal possession five.
972
00:42:31,583 --> 00:42:32,949
Six. I want a misdemeanor.
973
00:42:32,951 --> 00:42:34,851
Depends on what
he has to say.
974
00:42:34,853 --> 00:42:38,154
Nicky Guzman sold me crack.
975
00:42:38,156 --> 00:42:40,557
Nicky's a dealer?
976
00:42:40,559 --> 00:42:43,226
I haven't seen him
for four, five months
977
00:42:43,228 --> 00:42:44,694
but I bought from him
978
00:42:44,696 --> 00:42:47,130
all the time
last spring.
979
00:42:47,132 --> 00:42:48,665
Urbano's his supplier.
980
00:42:48,667 --> 00:42:51,000
He came with him
to school one day.
981
00:42:51,002 --> 00:42:53,036
We have a deal, Stone?
982
00:42:54,639 --> 00:42:56,639
Yeah.
983
00:42:56,641 --> 00:43:00,877
Urbano and Nicky
being drug dealers
984
00:43:00,879 --> 00:43:01,978
explains everything.
985
00:43:01,980 --> 00:43:03,112
Bull!
986
00:43:03,114 --> 00:43:05,949
Nicky hadn't seen Urbano
in four months.
987
00:43:05,951 --> 00:43:08,985
He stopped having
anything to do with drugs
988
00:43:08,987 --> 00:43:10,587
when he got engaged.
Now, Your Honor,
989
00:43:10,589 --> 00:43:13,623
even arguing that this
was intentional murder--
990
00:43:13,625 --> 00:43:15,224
and I'm not
saying it was--
991
00:43:15,226 --> 00:43:16,659
it's about revenge.
992
00:43:16,661 --> 00:43:18,661
Call that boy a drug dealer
993
00:43:18,663 --> 00:43:21,030
they'll convict him
on that alone.
994
00:43:21,032 --> 00:43:22,599
Doesn't prove anything, Ben.
995
00:43:22,601 --> 00:43:24,233
Even I find it prejudicial.
996
00:43:24,235 --> 00:43:25,335
I don't see why.
997
00:43:25,337 --> 00:43:27,270
It's relevant as to motive.
998
00:43:27,272 --> 00:43:29,005
People v. Malino.
Urbano raped Lucy Rivers
999
00:43:29,007 --> 00:43:32,008
because her boyfriend
quit working for him.
1000
00:43:32,010 --> 00:43:33,242
This is ridiculous.
1001
00:43:33,244 --> 00:43:34,611
It's like pimps with
their prostitutes.
1002
00:43:34,613 --> 00:43:36,045
It's not a job
they allow
1003
00:43:36,047 --> 00:43:38,147
the street dealers
to walk away from.
1004
00:43:38,149 --> 00:43:40,316
Drug dealing is the underlying
cause of this murder.
1005
00:43:40,318 --> 00:43:41,951
That's your opinion, Ben.
1006
00:43:41,953 --> 00:43:44,020
The defendant
has no record
1007
00:43:44,022 --> 00:43:45,154
of drug offense.
1008
00:43:45,156 --> 00:43:47,290
Plus, your witness is suspect.
1009
00:43:47,292 --> 00:43:48,958
You made a deal
for his testimony.
1010
00:43:48,960 --> 00:43:50,360
Let the jury decide.
1011
00:43:50,362 --> 00:43:52,729
Allow the testimony,
then instruct them to disregard?
1012
00:43:52,731 --> 00:43:54,330
Now you know as well as I do...
1013
00:43:54,332 --> 00:43:56,733
Put some ice on it, Mr. Burton.
1014
00:43:56,735 --> 00:43:58,167
I don't like you.
1015
00:43:58,169 --> 00:44:01,638
I don't like your theatrics
in my courtroom.
1016
00:44:01,640 --> 00:44:03,673
I may be
old-fashioned,
1017
00:44:03,675 --> 00:44:05,008
but I find them
1018
00:44:05,010 --> 00:44:08,411
undignified and maybe unethical.
1019
00:44:08,413 --> 00:44:10,313
Remember the Watson murder?
1020
00:44:10,315 --> 00:44:11,681
Killed his wife?
1021
00:44:12,651 --> 00:44:14,651
I let some D.A. sweet-talk me
1022
00:44:14,653 --> 00:44:17,353
into allowing
some improper testimony.
1023
00:44:17,355 --> 00:44:19,422
The court of appeals
reversed it
1024
00:44:19,424 --> 00:44:22,325
and Mr. Watson
is walking the streets.
1025
00:44:22,327 --> 00:44:25,662
Now, if I allow this
and your boy gets convicted
1026
00:44:25,664 --> 00:44:28,364
Mr. Burton here will be
in appellate court
1027
00:44:28,366 --> 00:44:30,199
before I hit the bed.
1028
00:44:32,037 --> 00:44:33,970
Ben, Burton's
junked his list.
1029
00:44:33,972 --> 00:44:35,038
His only witness
1030
00:44:35,040 --> 00:44:37,173
is the dealer
who was with Urbano
1031
00:44:37,175 --> 00:44:38,975
just before he was killed.
1032
00:44:38,977 --> 00:44:39,976
Cartagena?
1033
00:44:39,978 --> 00:44:41,344
He wasn't even there.
1034
00:44:41,346 --> 00:44:42,345
I know.
1035
00:44:42,347 --> 00:44:44,347
Now, you told police
1036
00:44:44,349 --> 00:44:48,251
you left the church
before the shooting.
1037
00:44:48,253 --> 00:44:49,786
Why did you lie?
1038
00:44:49,788 --> 00:44:52,606
I had to.
1039
00:44:52,607 --> 00:44:55,425
You know, being on parole,
being with a guy like Jose,
1040
00:44:55,427 --> 00:44:58,761
him being a dealer and all,
bad for me.
1041
00:44:58,763 --> 00:45:03,066
When Mr. Urbano left
with the girl, did you follow?
1042
00:45:03,068 --> 00:45:04,067
No.
1043
00:45:04,069 --> 00:45:05,768
I told him not to go,
1044
00:45:05,770 --> 00:45:08,237
but he put his hand
on his pistol
1045
00:45:08,239 --> 00:45:11,741
and he said
he could take care of himself.
1046
00:45:11,743 --> 00:45:15,712
Was Mr. Urbano a violent man?
1047
00:45:15,714 --> 00:45:17,847
Objection.
Calls for a conclusion.
1048
00:45:17,849 --> 00:45:19,082
Sustained.
1049
00:45:19,084 --> 00:45:21,284
I'll rephrase.
1050
00:45:21,286 --> 00:45:24,454
Did you ever personally see
Jose Urbano
1051
00:45:24,456 --> 00:45:27,356
fire his gun at anybody?
1052
00:45:27,358 --> 00:45:31,094
New Year's Eve, 1989.
1053
00:45:31,096 --> 00:45:33,763
He shot a dealer.
1054
00:45:33,765 --> 00:45:35,798
Jesus Costelo.
1055
00:45:35,800 --> 00:45:37,867
Thank you.
1056
00:45:45,343 --> 00:45:48,044
Three days.
1057
00:45:48,045 --> 00:45:50,746
The verdict should have been in
yesterday at the latest.
1058
00:45:50,749 --> 00:45:53,816
I hope you're not here
to say you warned me.
1059
00:45:53,818 --> 00:45:56,052
You did
what you had to do.
1060
00:45:56,054 --> 00:45:57,887
You wish I hadn't.
1061
00:45:57,889 --> 00:46:00,356
The jury just asked
for the statutes
1062
00:46:00,358 --> 00:46:02,525
on justification
for deadly force.
1063
00:46:02,527 --> 00:46:04,260
Not gonna say it.
1064
00:46:04,262 --> 00:46:05,828
What?
1065
00:46:05,830 --> 00:46:08,765
He told me so.
1066
00:46:08,767 --> 00:46:11,868
Has the jury reached a verdict?
1067
00:46:12,837 --> 00:46:14,203
We have, Your Honor.
1068
00:46:14,205 --> 00:46:16,539
On the sole count
of the indictment
1069
00:46:16,541 --> 00:46:18,074
the charge of murder
1070
00:46:18,076 --> 00:46:19,308
in the second degree,
1071
00:46:19,310 --> 00:46:20,910
how does the jury find?
1072
00:46:20,912 --> 00:46:23,312
Not guilty.
1073
00:46:23,314 --> 00:46:24,847
( gasps )
1074
00:46:32,791 --> 00:46:36,459
We felt he was a good kid,
putting himself through school.
1075
00:46:36,461 --> 00:46:39,328
Uh... maybe he meant
to kill Urbano, but...
1076
00:46:39,330 --> 00:46:42,799
How many times have you
given me the "you don't
win every time" speech?
1077
00:46:42,801 --> 00:46:44,500
I don't mind losing, Paul.
Could've fooled me.
1078
00:46:44,502 --> 00:46:47,203
What I do mind is
that 12 honest citizens
1079
00:46:47,205 --> 00:46:49,806
knew he was guilty
and acquitted him.
1080
00:46:49,808 --> 00:46:52,508
They were flimflammed
on the self-defense.
1081
00:46:52,510 --> 00:46:54,544
They knew they were
being flimflammed
1082
00:46:54,546 --> 00:46:56,579
and they still
acquitted him.
1083
00:46:56,581 --> 00:46:56,612
And that's frightening.
