1
00:00:01,569 --> 00:00:05,471
by two separate
yet equally important groups:
2
00:00:05,473 --> 00:00:07,473
the police,
who investigate crime
3
00:00:07,475 --> 00:00:10,476
and the district attorneys,
who prosecute the offenders.
4
00:00:10,478 --> 00:00:12,644
These are their stories.
5
00:00:16,484 --> 00:00:18,484
On the first count
of the indictment,
6
00:00:18,486 --> 00:00:21,186
criminal facilitation
in the first degree,
7
00:00:21,188 --> 00:00:23,088
how does the jury find?
8
00:00:23,090 --> 00:00:24,189
Not guilty.
9
00:00:24,191 --> 00:00:26,291
On the second count
of the indictment,
10
00:00:26,293 --> 00:00:28,193
money laundering
in the first degree,
11
00:00:28,195 --> 00:00:29,428
how does the jury find?
12
00:00:29,430 --> 00:00:31,063
Not guilty.
13
00:00:31,065 --> 00:00:34,233
On the third count
of the indictment,
14
00:00:34,235 --> 00:00:37,569
conspiracy in the fifth degree,
how does the jury find?
15
00:00:37,571 --> 00:00:39,138
Not guilty.
16
00:00:39,140 --> 00:00:41,373
Thank you.
17
00:00:41,375 --> 00:00:43,108
Court is adjourned.
18
00:00:43,110 --> 00:00:46,145
( gavel falls )
19
00:00:46,146 --> 00:00:49,181
The arrest was insulting,
the indictment was ludicrous,
20
00:00:49,183 --> 00:00:51,450
and the result was predictable.
21
00:00:51,452 --> 00:00:53,085
The district attorney
22
00:00:53,087 --> 00:00:55,454
wanted to look tough
on white collar crime,
23
00:00:55,456 --> 00:00:58,090
so they smeared
three innocent men,
24
00:00:58,092 --> 00:01:01,827
but they couldn't bamboozle
a jury of 12 honest New Yorkers.
25
00:01:01,829 --> 00:01:03,462
Thank you.
26
00:01:03,464 --> 00:01:05,264
Mr. Stone?
27
00:01:05,266 --> 00:01:06,598
Yes?
28
00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:09,601
The defense says this
was malicious prosecution.
29
00:01:09,603 --> 00:01:11,603
If the law had allowed it,
30
00:01:11,605 --> 00:01:14,339
I'd have indicted
those defendants for murder.
31
00:01:14,341 --> 00:01:16,241
Wall Street bankers
for murder?
32
00:01:16,243 --> 00:01:18,343
Bankers who helped drug dealers
clean their money
33
00:01:18,345 --> 00:01:20,312
are as guilty
as the drug dealers themselves.
34
00:01:20,314 --> 00:01:23,248
What about that
missing evidence?
35
00:01:23,250 --> 00:01:25,250
I can't comment
on the investigation,
36
00:01:25,252 --> 00:01:27,275
but I do know someone
37
00:01:27,276 --> 00:01:29,299
in the New York City
Police Department
38
00:01:29,300 --> 00:01:31,323
altered evidence by erasing bank
transactions on computer disks,
39
00:01:31,325 --> 00:01:33,325
and that is a felony,
ladies and gentlemen,
40
00:01:33,327 --> 00:01:35,327
and there will be indictments.
41
00:01:35,329 --> 00:01:37,129
This case is not over.
42
00:01:37,131 --> 00:01:39,098
It's just beginning.
43
00:01:42,436 --> 00:01:48,207
Captioning sponsored by
NBC/UNIVERSAL
44
00:03:12,793 --> 00:03:16,895
Page nine,
first column on the bottom.
45
00:03:16,897 --> 00:03:19,264
How long they
been in there?
46
00:03:19,266 --> 00:03:20,799
About an hour.
47
00:03:20,801 --> 00:03:22,534
Internal Affairs?
48
00:03:22,536 --> 00:03:25,204
Yeah.
49
00:03:49,663 --> 00:03:51,313
What gives?
50
00:03:51,314 --> 00:03:52,964
These guys taking a run
at the whole precinct?
51
00:03:52,967 --> 00:03:55,334
No, just me.
52
00:03:55,336 --> 00:03:58,604
You gave the D.A. three dealers
and their bankers
53
00:03:58,606 --> 00:03:59,605
on a silver platter.
54
00:03:59,607 --> 00:04:01,440
Now they're going after you?
55
00:04:01,442 --> 00:04:04,543
Well, if I was Internal Affairs,
I'd be looking at me, too.
56
00:04:04,545 --> 00:04:07,512
O'Farrell is in charge
of the property clerk's office.
57
00:04:07,514 --> 00:04:09,248
We go back a long way.
58
00:04:09,250 --> 00:04:11,850
He's given me every one
one of my promotions.
59
00:04:11,852 --> 00:04:13,919
He passes out
captain's bars.
60
00:04:13,921 --> 00:04:17,489
So the chief took care of you
for 20 years, so what?
61
00:04:17,491 --> 00:04:19,691
That means you two tampered
with the evidence?
62
00:04:19,693 --> 00:04:22,394
Well, they got to go
after somebody.
63
00:04:22,396 --> 00:04:23,929
Oh, so you're guilty
by association
64
00:04:23,931 --> 00:04:27,299
because O'Farrell runs
the evidence department?
65
00:04:27,301 --> 00:04:29,568
What do they say
happened to the evidence?
66
00:04:29,570 --> 00:04:31,470
Manhattan Mercantile Bank.
67
00:04:31,472 --> 00:04:34,006
Computer disks got erased.
68
00:04:34,008 --> 00:04:37,409
All the illegal transactions
just vanished.
69
00:04:37,411 --> 00:04:40,312
Look, I.A.D., they didn't
tell me who, what or why,
70
00:04:40,314 --> 00:04:43,382
but am I at the top
of their list? Yeah.
71
00:04:45,286 --> 00:04:47,386
How's your appointment book?
72
00:04:47,388 --> 00:04:49,888
Just the Boorman murder.
73
00:04:49,890 --> 00:04:52,324
Getting ready for trial.
74
00:04:57,364 --> 00:04:59,731
What?
75
00:04:59,733 --> 00:05:03,368
I'm in a corner here.
76
00:05:03,370 --> 00:05:06,004
It's an I.A.D. case.
77
00:05:06,006 --> 00:05:09,608
We'll see what we can find out.
78
00:05:09,610 --> 00:05:10,742
Yeah.
79
00:05:10,744 --> 00:05:12,010
Whose collar was it?
80
00:05:12,012 --> 00:05:14,646
Cassidy and Manetti's.
81
00:05:14,648 --> 00:05:18,617
D.A. loses a case,
who gets the shaft?
82
00:05:18,619 --> 00:05:20,552
Cops.
83
00:05:21,755 --> 00:05:25,357
I'm telling you--
we did it by the book.
84
00:05:25,359 --> 00:05:27,492
Ain't no bestseller.
85
00:05:27,494 --> 00:05:29,027
What happened?
86
00:05:29,029 --> 00:05:31,330
Round-the-clock
stakeout.
87
00:05:31,332 --> 00:05:33,765
Colombians doing maybe
a million a year.
88
00:05:33,767 --> 00:05:35,467
Not big dealers.
89
00:05:35,469 --> 00:05:37,436
They live in tenements, right?
90
00:05:37,438 --> 00:05:39,104
One day, we get a break.
91
00:05:39,106 --> 00:05:41,773
They take their money
to Manhattan mercantile.
92
00:05:41,775 --> 00:05:43,775
Four briefcases, cash.
93
00:05:43,777 --> 00:05:46,645
I want to bust in,
get the dealers and the bankers.
94
00:05:46,647 --> 00:05:47,746
Cragen says no.
95
00:05:47,748 --> 00:05:50,048
You got to wait
for the money trail.
96
00:05:50,050 --> 00:05:51,750
Prove they laundered it.
97
00:05:51,752 --> 00:05:53,652
They get some
diode heads downtown
98
00:05:53,654 --> 00:05:55,954
to track the money by computer.
99
00:05:55,956 --> 00:06:00,625
So when Stone goes to trial,
the computer disks are erased.
100
00:06:00,627 --> 00:06:03,362
Right, but only
the incriminating files.
101
00:06:03,364 --> 00:06:06,064
Whoever did it
knew what he was doing.
102
00:06:06,066 --> 00:06:10,469
So to the jury, it looks like
the evidence was never there.
103
00:06:10,471 --> 00:06:14,072
What about the computer jock,
the one who traced the money?
104
00:06:14,074 --> 00:06:15,073
What's his name?
105
00:06:15,075 --> 00:06:16,541
An I.A.D. case.
106
00:06:16,543 --> 00:06:18,410
You're turning over rocks here.
107
00:06:18,412 --> 00:06:25,050
Turn over a rock,
you might find a rattlesnake.
108
00:06:26,553 --> 00:06:29,020
MAN:
They way the D.A.'s screaming
109
00:06:29,022 --> 00:06:31,623
you'd think it was
the first case they ever lost.
110
00:06:31,625 --> 00:06:33,425
Every time's a first time.
111
00:06:33,427 --> 00:06:35,694
So what happened with
these computer disks?
112
00:06:35,696 --> 00:06:37,396
The drug dealers,
the Colombians?
113
00:06:37,398 --> 00:06:38,397
They leave the bank.
114
00:06:38,399 --> 00:06:40,399
We wait three days,
then bust in.
115
00:06:40,401 --> 00:06:41,666
I take two disks.
116
00:06:41,668 --> 00:06:43,635
It shows the drug money
was wired offshore.
117
00:06:43,637 --> 00:06:45,354
The Cayman Islands.
118
00:06:45,355 --> 00:06:47,072
All right, so you
saw the files, the
evidence was there.
119
00:06:47,074 --> 00:06:51,443
Yeah, I saw the files right
on my computer screen.
120
00:06:51,445 --> 00:06:54,012
You didn't make a printout?
121
00:06:54,014 --> 00:06:57,048
I'm leaving for my honeymoon--
Bermuda.
122
00:06:57,050 --> 00:06:59,551
They say cancel.
I say go to hell.
123
00:06:59,553 --> 00:07:01,787
Send the disk
to the property clerk.
124
00:07:01,789 --> 00:07:03,789
I'll do the trial work
when I get back.
125
00:07:03,791 --> 00:07:06,658
And when you get back,
the disks are changed.
126
00:07:06,660 --> 00:07:07,826
You got it.
127
00:07:07,828 --> 00:07:12,063
This captain,
what's his name, um, Cragen?
128
00:07:12,065 --> 00:07:13,465
What's his story?
129
00:07:13,467 --> 00:07:16,101
You hear stuff, you know.
130
00:07:16,103 --> 00:07:17,736
What do you hear?
131
00:07:17,738 --> 00:07:18,837
Everything I heard,
132
00:07:18,839 --> 00:07:20,605
I already told three times.
133
00:07:20,607 --> 00:07:23,074
Don't you guys at I.A.D.
talk to each other?
134
00:07:24,745 --> 00:07:26,144
I.A.D.?
135
00:07:27,848 --> 00:07:29,181
( sighs )
136
00:07:29,183 --> 00:07:31,616
Real smooth, Sergeant.
137
00:07:31,618 --> 00:07:35,120
I.A.D. swears me in blood
not to talk about this case.
138
00:07:35,122 --> 00:07:40,225
You don't tell them,
we don't tell them.
139
00:07:40,227 --> 00:07:41,593
Wow.
140
00:07:41,595 --> 00:07:43,595
This is freaking amazing.
141
00:07:43,597 --> 00:07:47,098
I don't know a computer disk
from a slipped disk.
142
00:07:47,100 --> 00:07:49,734
Well, your name's
getting tossed around.
143
00:07:49,736 --> 00:07:52,204
It's the same song everywhere.
144
00:07:52,206 --> 00:07:55,674
People are saying
O'Farrell's your rabbi.
145
00:07:55,676 --> 00:07:58,109
He's in charge
of the property clerk,
146
00:07:58,111 --> 00:08:01,713
so your detectives knew
when the evidence was there.
147
00:08:01,715 --> 00:08:04,516
And what do you say?
148
00:08:04,518 --> 00:08:08,119
He's reporting,
not accusing.
149
00:08:10,791 --> 00:08:13,191
I.A.D. tells you
you're under investigation.
150
00:08:13,193 --> 00:08:16,928
They mention why they think
you'd help these three bankers?
151
00:08:16,930 --> 00:08:19,531
One thing they lean on
over and over,
152
00:08:19,533 --> 00:08:21,199
they keep saying that I talked
to the chief
153
00:08:21,201 --> 00:08:22,834
every couple of days
while this case is running.
154
00:08:22,836 --> 00:08:23,902
What did we talk about?
155
00:08:23,904 --> 00:08:25,937
You talk to him lately?
156
00:08:25,939 --> 00:08:29,574
With I.A.D. probably listening
in on my phone line?
157
00:08:29,576 --> 00:08:30,575
No.
158
00:08:30,577 --> 00:08:33,912
Doesn't mean we can't.
159
00:08:33,914 --> 00:08:37,749
So this young D.A.,
maybe two years on the force--
160
00:08:37,751 --> 00:08:40,652
this D.A., three weeks
out of Harvard, mind you,
161
00:08:40,654 --> 00:08:44,289
he says to me, "Officer,
can you tell me the difference
162
00:08:44,291 --> 00:08:45,857
between suspicion
and probable cause?"
163
00:08:45,859 --> 00:08:48,860
So I look him
in the eye and I say,
164
00:08:48,862 --> 00:08:52,831
"Can you tell me what is in
section 129 of the penal law?"
165
00:08:52,833 --> 00:08:54,833
And he says,
166
00:08:54,835 --> 00:08:57,836
"I'll look it up."
167
00:09:03,877 --> 00:09:06,711
What is in section 129?
168
00:09:06,713 --> 00:09:08,880
There is no section 129.
169
00:09:08,882 --> 00:09:11,850
He was a good cop.
170
00:09:11,852 --> 00:09:16,254
Listen, we know we're
out of our league here.
171
00:09:16,256 --> 00:09:18,189
We really appreciate you
talking to us.
172
00:09:18,191 --> 00:09:20,258
That's all right.
173
00:09:20,260 --> 00:09:21,927
So why they after you
and Cragen?
174
00:09:21,929 --> 00:09:25,797
All right, you're Schiff,
you got an election coming up.
175
00:09:25,799 --> 00:09:27,832
You've just blown
the bankers case.
176
00:09:27,834 --> 00:09:29,734
What do you do?
You go after some Irish cops.
177
00:09:29,736 --> 00:09:30,802
But the evidence.
178
00:09:30,804 --> 00:09:31,903
Ethnic politics.
179
00:09:31,905 --> 00:09:33,305
It never dies.
180
00:09:33,307 --> 00:09:35,941
Something did happen to it.
181
00:09:38,645 --> 00:09:40,011
Don Cragen and me.
182
00:09:40,013 --> 00:09:41,780
Now you just ask yourself:
183
00:09:41,782 --> 00:09:45,684
Does it make any sense
for us to risk what we've got?
184
00:09:45,686 --> 00:09:47,819
My guess, some kid
185
00:09:47,821 --> 00:09:51,022
in the D.A.'s office
checked out the disks,
186
00:09:51,024 --> 00:09:52,691
and he louses them up.
187
00:09:54,828 --> 00:09:57,963
I.A.D.'s after cops.
188
00:09:57,965 --> 00:09:59,864
If there is a cop
involved in this,
189
00:09:59,866 --> 00:10:01,766
I will buy
the whole department dinner.
190
00:10:01,768 --> 00:10:03,201
From what this steak cost,
191
00:10:03,203 --> 00:10:05,770
you'll have to take out
a second mortgage.
192
00:10:05,772 --> 00:10:08,873
Only if I'm wrong.
193
00:10:11,211 --> 00:10:14,613
MAN:
The Boorman case.
194
00:10:14,615 --> 00:10:16,214
Pretty thorough, you guys.
195
00:10:16,216 --> 00:10:18,950
Yeah, well, we always
check our evidence twice
196
00:10:18,952 --> 00:10:21,786
before we testify.
197
00:10:21,788 --> 00:10:23,054
Right.
198
00:10:23,056 --> 00:10:26,858
And my diet's
working, too.
199
00:10:26,860 --> 00:10:29,060
You were Cragen's partner.
200
00:10:29,062 --> 00:10:30,962
Forget it.
201
00:10:30,964 --> 00:10:33,999
I.A.D.'s got a bullet
with his name on it.
202
00:10:34,001 --> 00:10:36,034
They're after a good cop.
203
00:10:36,036 --> 00:10:38,003
We're all good cops.
204
00:10:38,005 --> 00:10:40,038
Even the dirty ones.
205
00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:45,243
I.A.D.,
those jerk shooflies--
206
00:10:45,245 --> 00:10:46,845
tweedle dum
and tweedle dumber--
207
00:10:46,847 --> 00:10:48,313
they come in
and they pop the file cabinets
208
00:10:48,315 --> 00:10:49,981
they copy
every piece of paper.
209
00:10:49,983 --> 00:10:50,982
Like?
210
00:10:50,984 --> 00:10:52,417
Like the sign-in logs.
211
00:10:52,419 --> 00:10:54,085
Like who was here, when.
212
00:10:54,087 --> 00:10:56,054
Mind if we take a look?
213
00:11:02,963 --> 00:11:04,663
Page 57
214
00:11:04,665 --> 00:11:06,031
column three.
215
00:11:16,343 --> 00:11:17,942
What?
216
00:11:17,944 --> 00:11:20,679
The week the evidence
was messed with.
217
00:11:20,681 --> 00:11:23,348
Lots of cops through here,
but your pal, Cragen...
218
00:11:23,350 --> 00:11:25,050
that week twice.
He was here
219
00:11:25,052 --> 00:11:26,818
Two days in a row.
220
00:11:26,820 --> 00:11:28,820
Like he was taking
something out
221
00:11:28,822 --> 00:11:30,955
and bringing it back.
222
00:11:38,365 --> 00:11:41,366
For the rest of my life,
I sign nothing.
223
00:11:41,368 --> 00:11:44,936
I'm going to burn
my dry-cleaning stubs.
224
00:11:44,938 --> 00:11:48,339
So, you gentlemen
would like to know
225
00:11:48,341 --> 00:11:50,341
why I was
at the property clerk.
226
00:11:50,343 --> 00:11:54,112
Joey Buscalera, sergeant
from the fraud squad.
You remember him?
227
00:11:54,114 --> 00:11:55,714
Yeah. He was with us
for what, two months?
228
00:11:55,716 --> 00:11:57,115
Yeah.
229
00:11:57,117 --> 00:12:00,185
I had him on a case--
auto parts.
Chop shop?
230
00:12:00,187 --> 00:12:02,353
Buscalera was testifying
on another case.
231
00:12:02,355 --> 00:12:04,322
No time to do
his evidence summary,
232
00:12:04,324 --> 00:12:06,157
so I drove
to the property clerk
233
00:12:06,159 --> 00:12:07,392
and did it for him.
234
00:12:07,394 --> 00:12:10,395
Do a guy a favor
and look what happens.
235
00:12:10,397 --> 00:12:12,931
What, Max?
236
00:12:12,933 --> 00:12:13,898
What is it?
237
00:12:13,900 --> 00:12:18,136
Property clerk supervisor says
238
00:12:18,138 --> 00:12:20,438
you-you were there
two days in a row.
239
00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:23,942
Now, you drive a hundred blocks
back and forth
240
00:12:23,944 --> 00:12:26,411
two days in a row to help
some detective on loan?
241
00:12:26,413 --> 00:12:29,013
When headquarters is on my tail,
242
00:12:29,015 --> 00:12:30,415
when they're shoving
productivity reports
243
00:12:30,417 --> 00:12:32,217
down my throat?
Yes, Max, I do.
244
00:12:33,253 --> 00:12:35,053
Two days in a row.
245
00:12:35,055 --> 00:12:37,055
That's a lot of favor.
246
00:12:37,057 --> 00:12:41,960
Max, you know the procedure.
247
00:12:41,962 --> 00:12:44,028
I did his evidence summary.
248
00:12:44,030 --> 00:12:46,397
I brought it back here.
He signed it.
249
00:12:46,399 --> 00:12:50,368
I took it back, logged it
and left a copy with the D.A.
250
00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:56,040
Joey, this evidence summary,
251
00:12:56,042 --> 00:12:58,409
the one that Cragen
helped you get ready.
252
00:12:58,411 --> 00:12:59,410
I like Cragen.
253
00:12:59,412 --> 00:13:01,446
He did you a favor?
254
00:13:01,448 --> 00:13:02,781
Would I finger a cop?
255
00:13:02,783 --> 00:13:04,415
I don't cross the blue wall.
256
00:13:04,417 --> 00:13:07,152
Nobody's accusing you.
257
00:13:07,154 --> 00:13:08,186
You know how it is.
258
00:13:08,188 --> 00:13:09,454
You've got to testify
in two trials.
259
00:13:09,456 --> 00:13:10,989
You can't get downtown.
260
00:13:10,991 --> 00:13:12,323
So you asked Cragen.
261
00:13:12,325 --> 00:13:16,427
Not exactly.
Cragen asked if I'm ready.
262
00:13:16,429 --> 00:13:18,029
I'm in a bind.
He volunteers
263
00:13:18,031 --> 00:13:19,998
to go to the property clerk,
do my evidence.
264
00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:21,266
He volunteers?
265
00:13:21,268 --> 00:13:23,234
He's a good cop.
266
00:13:23,236 --> 00:13:27,005
Yeah, yeah, good cop.
267
00:13:27,007 --> 00:13:28,473
Thanks, Joey.
268
00:13:32,479 --> 00:13:35,213
What am I talking,
Swahili?
269
00:13:35,215 --> 00:13:36,481
( door buzzing )
270
00:13:36,483 --> 00:13:38,449
I.A.D.'s all over
this case.
271
00:13:38,451 --> 00:13:40,351
Come on,
you were here.
272
00:13:40,353 --> 00:13:42,320
I thought maybe you could
tell me a little something.
273
00:13:42,322 --> 00:13:44,222
Tonight, I go home
at 6:00.
274
00:13:44,224 --> 00:13:46,558
In the garage,
a '65 Malibu.
275
00:13:46,560 --> 00:13:48,526
Best big six
they ever made.
276
00:13:48,528 --> 00:13:50,595
And when I'm finished
with it, mint condition.
277
00:13:50,597 --> 00:13:55,099
If I.A.D. comes after me
because I'm talking to you,
278
00:13:55,101 --> 00:13:59,604
I will be fixing cars every day
instead of nights and weekends.
279
00:14:01,274 --> 00:14:04,342
24 Years,
that's what Cragen's got in.
280
00:14:04,344 --> 00:14:06,377
I don't know the man.
281
00:14:06,379 --> 00:14:10,348
Look, supposedly Cragen's
the only cop in here
282
00:14:10,350 --> 00:14:12,300
two days in a row.
283
00:14:12,301 --> 00:14:14,251
So, you're saying if somebody
fiddled with the evidence...
284
00:14:14,254 --> 00:14:16,855
Then it must be Cragen.
Yeah.
285
00:14:16,857 --> 00:14:19,357
Or an inside job.
286
00:14:20,427 --> 00:14:23,061
Or both.
287
00:14:23,063 --> 00:14:24,429
You son of a bitch.
288
00:14:24,431 --> 00:14:26,331
If you're ever in trouble,
289
00:14:26,333 --> 00:14:28,499
I sure as hell hope someone
treats you like this.
290
00:14:30,470 --> 00:14:31,636
Hey.
291
00:14:38,311 --> 00:14:39,577
All right.
292
00:14:39,579 --> 00:14:42,280
Upstairs, the men's room.
293
00:14:42,282 --> 00:14:45,450
Five minutes.
294
00:14:45,452 --> 00:14:48,553
Henderson?
He's already divorced.
295
00:14:48,555 --> 00:14:51,556
Lives in a hell-hole
one bedroom way down
on Avenue C.
296
00:14:51,558 --> 00:14:52,590
Avenue C.
297
00:14:52,592 --> 00:14:54,525
You can get killed
in the cross fire
298
00:14:54,527 --> 00:14:56,411
on a good night.
299
00:14:56,412 --> 00:14:58,296
And with his alimony,
he wishes he was dead.
300
00:14:58,298 --> 00:15:00,198
( laughs )
( toilet flushing )
301
00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:01,532
Let's go.
302
00:15:31,164 --> 00:15:32,664
( rattling )
303
00:15:32,666 --> 00:15:34,666
You got a quarter?
304
00:15:34,668 --> 00:15:36,601
Give it a whack.
305
00:15:36,603 --> 00:15:38,603
( sighs )
306
00:15:38,605 --> 00:15:41,306
Cragen volunteered.
307
00:15:41,308 --> 00:15:42,607
Buscalera didn't ask.
308
00:15:42,609 --> 00:15:45,143
Maybe Cragen was
just doing his job.
309
00:15:45,145 --> 00:15:47,478
I gotta keep saying this.
I know he's not dirty,
310
00:15:47,480 --> 00:15:51,115
but now I know why I.A.D.
is going six ways through Sunday
311
00:15:51,117 --> 00:15:53,484
to prove that he is, because
it looks like he wanted to be
312
00:15:53,486 --> 00:15:55,119
at the property
clerk's office.
313
00:15:55,121 --> 00:15:57,488
Yeah. Maybe someone
else did, too.
314
00:15:57,490 --> 00:15:59,190
Look at this.
315
00:15:59,192 --> 00:16:01,225
Property clerk's
duty roster
316
00:16:01,227 --> 00:16:03,127
headquarters'
master roll call.
317
00:16:03,129 --> 00:16:04,495
Now, the week the evidence
was tampered with,
318
00:16:04,497 --> 00:16:07,498
there were 28 cops
and 13 civilians
working there.
319
00:16:07,500 --> 00:16:09,500
Any of them know
Chief O'Farrell?
320
00:16:09,502 --> 00:16:11,602
Assuming it was
O'Farrell's party.
321
00:16:11,604 --> 00:16:13,304
Assuming.
322
00:16:13,306 --> 00:16:17,375
Listen, you want me to dig up
their service records?
323
00:16:17,377 --> 00:16:19,510
( sighs )
Forget reprimand from I.A.D.
324
00:16:19,512 --> 00:16:22,513
That will rate
a full-scale hearing.
325
00:16:22,515 --> 00:16:25,350
Wait a second.
326
00:16:25,352 --> 00:16:28,453
The master roll call
and the duty roster
327
00:16:28,455 --> 00:16:30,221
ought to be identical.
328
00:16:30,223 --> 00:16:33,358
But what's-his-name from the
property clerk's gave you both.
329
00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:35,360
There's got to be
a reason, right?
330
00:16:35,362 --> 00:16:37,428
Yeah.
331
00:16:37,430 --> 00:16:39,664
Master roll call comes
from headquarters
332
00:16:39,666 --> 00:16:41,733
at the beginning of the month.
333
00:16:41,735 --> 00:16:44,535
Duty roster comes out
every Tuesday.
334
00:16:44,537 --> 00:16:48,539
If it's an inside job,
when do they do it?
335
00:16:48,541 --> 00:16:52,010
When there's no traffic.
336
00:16:52,012 --> 00:16:54,412
Give me the names
of everybody
337
00:16:54,414 --> 00:16:56,681
on the duty roster's
third shifts.
338
00:16:59,419 --> 00:17:01,419
Okay.
339
00:17:01,421 --> 00:17:04,422
4:00 to midnight--
Webster.
340
00:17:04,424 --> 00:17:05,523
Mm-hmm.
341
00:17:05,525 --> 00:17:07,291
Dumoze.
342
00:17:07,293 --> 00:17:08,626
Mm-hmm.
343
00:17:08,628 --> 00:17:09,794
McCrory.
344
00:17:14,701 --> 00:17:16,367
No.
345
00:17:18,638 --> 00:17:20,638
He's on the duty roster,
346
00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:23,441
but headquarters
doesn't show him as working
347
00:17:23,443 --> 00:17:26,544
on the master roll call.
348
00:17:30,550 --> 00:17:31,716
Hah.
349
00:17:31,718 --> 00:17:34,619
Headquarters says
Officer Al McCrory retired
350
00:17:34,621 --> 00:17:36,320
two weeks earlier.
351
00:17:36,322 --> 00:17:39,690
He was retired,
but he worked two weeks later?
352
00:17:39,692 --> 00:17:42,627
Maybe he loved working
at the property clerk.
353
00:17:42,629 --> 00:17:45,630
Yeah, he loved it so much,
he couldn't leave.
354
00:17:45,632 --> 00:17:48,566
Let's get an address.
355
00:17:53,773 --> 00:17:55,773
Think he'll talk to us?
356
00:17:55,775 --> 00:17:59,744
Yeah. Maybe he'll tell us
how he affords this house.
357
00:18:01,481 --> 00:18:02,647
( knock at door )
358
00:18:05,518 --> 00:18:06,818
Al McCrory?
359
00:18:06,820 --> 00:18:07,718
Yeah.
360
00:18:07,720 --> 00:18:09,353
Sergeant Greevey.
361
00:18:09,355 --> 00:18:11,289
Detective Logan.
362
00:18:11,291 --> 00:18:13,691
Do I know you fellas?
We ever worked together?
363
00:18:13,693 --> 00:18:15,560
No. We just want to ask you:
364
00:18:15,562 --> 00:18:16,794
When you were
going to retire,
365
00:18:16,796 --> 00:18:18,663
you worked
the property clerk's office
366
00:18:18,665 --> 00:18:19,831
an extra couple of days.
367
00:18:19,833 --> 00:18:21,466
What's this about?
368
00:18:21,468 --> 00:18:22,633
Well, there's
a discrepancy.
369
00:18:22,635 --> 00:18:25,570
It says you were retired
but still working.
370
00:18:25,572 --> 00:18:27,572
Some problem with my pension?
371
00:18:27,574 --> 00:18:29,507
Wait a minute.
372
00:18:29,509 --> 00:18:31,943
You guys work for Cragen?
373
00:18:31,944 --> 00:18:34,378
What am I wearing, a sign
on my forehead says stupid?
374
00:18:34,380 --> 00:18:36,514
Your captain's in trouble,
don't come to me.
375
00:18:36,516 --> 00:18:38,149
Wait a minute.
376
00:18:38,150 --> 00:18:39,783
You touch me,
I'll have you up for assault.
377
00:18:39,786 --> 00:18:43,621
I think you'd better get out
of my house and out of my yard.
378
00:18:47,594 --> 00:18:50,128
Now, there's a guy
with nothing to hide.
379
00:19:14,754 --> 00:19:16,687
Max.
380
00:19:17,724 --> 00:19:19,724
What a nice surprise.
381
00:19:19,726 --> 00:19:21,726
We never see you anymore.
382
00:19:21,728 --> 00:19:23,694
How's Marie?
How are the kids?
383
00:19:23,696 --> 00:19:25,163
Fine. Everybody's good.
384
00:19:25,165 --> 00:19:27,165
Good. Ah, you're lucky.
385
00:19:27,167 --> 00:19:28,766
You don't have to drink
his coffee today.
386
00:19:28,768 --> 00:19:30,601
It's already made.
387
00:19:30,603 --> 00:19:33,738
I've got an 8:00 flight,
so give my best to Marie.
388
00:19:33,740 --> 00:19:35,873
Sure.
Okay. Thanks, honey.
389
00:19:35,875 --> 00:19:37,508
Bye-bye.
390
00:19:37,510 --> 00:19:38,576
Bye.
391
00:19:41,648 --> 00:19:43,881
Just happen to be
in the neighborhood?
392
00:19:43,883 --> 00:19:45,516
No.
393
00:19:45,518 --> 00:19:47,518
You want to come in?
394
00:19:47,520 --> 00:19:48,886
Putting in a pool?
395
00:19:48,888 --> 00:19:50,621
Yeah.
396
00:19:50,623 --> 00:19:52,590
Oh.
397
00:19:59,399 --> 00:20:01,699
You know a cop
named Al McCrory?
398
00:20:06,539 --> 00:20:08,773
Property clerk's
duty roster
399
00:20:08,775 --> 00:20:10,875
says he worked the same days
you were there.
400
00:20:10,877 --> 00:20:16,781
Master roll call says
he retired two weeks earlier.
401
00:20:16,783 --> 00:20:18,516
Friend of yours?
402
00:20:18,518 --> 00:20:20,551
He used to drive
for the chief a oouple years.
403
00:20:20,553 --> 00:20:21,652
You know him?
404
00:20:21,654 --> 00:20:23,421
Just to say hello.
405
00:20:23,423 --> 00:20:25,656
And you haven't seen him
in years?
406
00:20:25,658 --> 00:20:26,757
That's right.
407
00:20:26,759 --> 00:20:28,893
But you know him,
O'Farrell knows him,
408
00:20:28,895 --> 00:20:30,761
and he worked
after he retired.
409
00:20:30,763 --> 00:20:33,698
You think you'll come in
for a few days
after you retire?
410
00:20:33,700 --> 00:20:34,999
So McCrory knows the chief.
411
00:20:35,001 --> 00:20:36,634
Does that make him guilty?
412
00:20:36,636 --> 00:20:38,769
Any more than my being there
makes me guilty?
413
00:20:38,771 --> 00:20:41,839
McCrory, we saw him.
He knew who we were.
414
00:20:41,841 --> 00:20:44,475
Somehow, put our names together
with yours.
415
00:20:46,412 --> 00:20:48,713
Forget about him
for a second.
416
00:20:48,715 --> 00:20:50,781
What about Chief O'Farrell?
417
00:20:50,783 --> 00:20:53,784
You just don't like
politicians, Max. Never did.
418
00:20:53,786 --> 00:20:54,919
Not when they're crooked,
419
00:20:54,921 --> 00:20:56,554
and especially not when they try
420
00:20:56,556 --> 00:20:57,722
to bring my friends down
with them.
421
00:20:57,724 --> 00:21:01,525
I had nothing to do with it,
422
00:21:01,527 --> 00:21:03,661
and I'm sure
Pete O'Farrell didn't, either.
423
00:21:03,663 --> 00:21:06,631
Oh, that's great.
424
00:21:07,867 --> 00:21:10,601
Donny, what are you doing?
425
00:21:10,603 --> 00:21:12,653
See no evil, hear no evil?
426
00:21:12,654 --> 00:21:14,704
How could you even think that
I would tamper with evidence?
427
00:21:14,707 --> 00:21:18,476
I don't,
but something isn't kosher!
428
00:21:18,478 --> 00:21:19,978
I don't know what it is,
429
00:21:19,979 --> 00:21:21,479
and I sure as hell hope
you don't know, either!
430
00:21:26,819 --> 00:21:29,020
You do me a favor, huh, Max?
431
00:21:29,022 --> 00:21:32,290
Forget I ever asked you
to help me.
432
00:21:36,696 --> 00:21:39,964
You'd better run yourself
a little reality check.
433
00:21:39,966 --> 00:21:44,702
The sharks are out,
and there's blood in the water.
434
00:22:03,589 --> 00:22:04,722
The property clerk.
435
00:22:04,724 --> 00:22:07,558
It's off-limits to you.
436
00:22:07,560 --> 00:22:09,727
Just keep out
of this investigation.
437
00:22:09,729 --> 00:22:11,696
What are you pulling,
good cop, bad cop on me?
438
00:22:11,698 --> 00:22:12,930
Like I'm some kind of a perp?
439
00:22:12,932 --> 00:22:14,832
For all I know, you are.
440
00:22:14,834 --> 00:22:17,101
Hey, you listen to me.
No, you listen to me!
441
00:22:17,103 --> 00:22:19,837
You and Greevey
keep your noses out of this!
442
00:22:19,839 --> 00:22:21,806
You talk to one more cop--
one more--
443
00:22:21,808 --> 00:22:23,074
and don't think reprimand.
444
00:22:23,076 --> 00:22:24,775
It's going to be a hearing
for a suspension.
445
00:22:24,777 --> 00:22:26,043
It's better for
you, really.
446
00:22:26,045 --> 00:22:28,045
You stay away from
the property clerk,
447
00:22:28,047 --> 00:22:30,514
from the computer people,
from Buscalera,
448
00:22:30,516 --> 00:22:32,016
from the F.E.C.
and from Chief O'Farrell.
449
00:22:32,018 --> 00:22:37,088
Am I making myself clear?
450
00:22:43,763 --> 00:22:46,564
LOGAN:
Listen, the I.A.D.
mentioned the F.E.C.
451
00:22:46,566 --> 00:22:47,832
What's the deal?
452
00:22:47,834 --> 00:22:49,834
Federal Elections
Commission.
453
00:22:49,836 --> 00:22:51,936
What's that got to do
with an I.A.D. case?
454
00:22:51,938 --> 00:22:52,937
Oh, no.
455
00:22:52,939 --> 00:22:53,938
What?
456
00:22:53,940 --> 00:22:55,573
Billy Wilson.
457
00:22:55,575 --> 00:22:56,841
My congressman?
458
00:22:56,843 --> 00:22:58,843
You're 15 years too
young to remember.
459
00:22:58,845 --> 00:23:01,879
Before he was a congressman,
Billy Wilson was a cop.
460
00:23:01,881 --> 00:23:03,764
And?
461
00:23:03,765 --> 00:23:05,648
What have we been
missing? Motive.
462
00:23:05,651 --> 00:23:07,752
Why would anybody
help those bankers?
463
00:23:07,754 --> 00:23:09,019
I'm waiting, Max.
464
00:23:09,021 --> 00:23:11,655
Chief O'Farrell
was Billy Wilson's
465
00:23:11,657 --> 00:23:12,890
handpicked successor.
466
00:23:12,892 --> 00:23:15,893
Who would O'Farrell
do a favor for?
467
00:23:15,895 --> 00:23:17,395
Give me some quarters.
468
00:23:17,397 --> 00:23:20,398
This isn't a call
to make inside the precinct.
469
00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:22,666
The House Banking Committee.
470
00:23:22,668 --> 00:23:24,802
Billy Wilson's been there
since he was elected.
471
00:23:24,804 --> 00:23:26,837
Those three bankers
that got off,
472
00:23:26,839 --> 00:23:28,773
they gave his campaign
a lot of money.
473
00:23:28,775 --> 00:23:30,941
The legal limit. At least
that's all that's on the books.
474
00:23:30,943 --> 00:23:32,843
You give money
to your congressman,
475
00:23:32,845 --> 00:23:34,044
it's automatically payoff?
476
00:23:34,046 --> 00:23:36,180
Gee, I thought
this was a democracy.
477
00:23:36,182 --> 00:23:38,182
Look, O'Farrell was your rabbi
478
00:23:38,184 --> 00:23:40,684
the same way
that Wilson was O'Farrell's.
479
00:23:40,686 --> 00:23:42,820
You need a motive for him
to tamper with evidence,
480
00:23:42,822 --> 00:23:43,921
I think you've got one.
481
00:23:43,923 --> 00:23:46,690
I said help me out.
482
00:23:46,692 --> 00:23:48,959
Did I ask you to nail
Pete O'Farrell?
483
00:23:48,961 --> 00:23:52,797
I think
you're taking loyalty too far.
484
00:23:52,799 --> 00:23:54,732
O'Farrell is no more corrupt
than you are.
485
00:23:54,734 --> 00:23:56,167
You think that, you're going
to go down with him.
486
00:23:56,169 --> 00:23:57,835
Is that right, Max?
487
00:23:57,837 --> 00:23:58,836
I'm going down?
488
00:23:58,838 --> 00:24:00,104
For what?
489
00:24:03,643 --> 00:24:06,744
You guys got a trial coming up?
490
00:24:06,746 --> 00:24:08,646
Boorman case?
491
00:24:08,648 --> 00:24:10,815
Why don't you get to work.
492
00:24:23,830 --> 00:24:25,830
You think this doesn't play?
493
00:24:25,832 --> 00:24:28,132
If I were
conducting an orchestra,
494
00:24:28,134 --> 00:24:30,000
I'd say the violins
were missing.
495
00:24:30,002 --> 00:24:32,903
Oh, come on.
The congressman
is the conductor.
496
00:24:32,905 --> 00:24:35,139
The bankers called
Congressman Wilson.
497
00:24:35,141 --> 00:24:38,075
They've been paying his bills
ever since he got elected.
498
00:24:38,077 --> 00:24:40,244
My guess, the contributions
499
00:24:40,246 --> 00:24:42,646
go way beyond federal
campaign limits.
500
00:24:42,648 --> 00:24:44,648
And now they
want a payback.
501
00:24:44,650 --> 00:24:46,116
"Fix this evidence,
Congressman
502
00:24:46,118 --> 00:24:48,752
or you're going
down with us."
503
00:24:48,754 --> 00:24:51,889
One: the congressman's
behind this.
504
00:24:51,891 --> 00:24:53,891
Can't prove it.
505
00:24:53,893 --> 00:24:58,195
Two: nothing concrete ties
Chief O'Farrell or Cragen.
506
00:24:58,197 --> 00:25:00,764
Just a minute.
Just a minute.
507
00:25:00,766 --> 00:25:01,899
Three: the disks.
508
00:25:01,901 --> 00:25:04,134
We have no idea
who altered them.
509
00:25:04,136 --> 00:25:06,136
We asked O'Farrell
to conduct an investigation.
510
00:25:06,138 --> 00:25:08,839
He took his
own sweet time.
511
00:25:08,841 --> 00:25:10,908
We have six detectives
who are willing to testify
512
00:25:10,910 --> 00:25:12,877
that he went slow.
513
00:25:12,878 --> 00:25:14,845
Slow, fast, I don't care
if he was building a clock.
514
00:25:14,847 --> 00:25:17,848
Without physical evidence,
the testimony's meaningless.
515
00:25:17,850 --> 00:25:20,084
He's chief of Operations.
516
00:25:20,086 --> 00:25:23,053
Cragen, a career officer
with an unblemished record.
517
00:25:23,055 --> 00:25:25,523
We need a clear-cut motive.
518
00:25:25,525 --> 00:25:27,791
( sighs )
519
00:25:27,793 --> 00:25:29,376
You know how badly
I want this case.
520
00:25:29,377 --> 00:25:30,960
They tampered with evidence.
The bankers walk.
521
00:25:30,963 --> 00:25:32,796
But I can't move on supposition.
522
00:25:32,798 --> 00:25:33,831
It's easy.
523
00:25:33,833 --> 00:25:35,299
It's conspiracy.
524
00:25:35,301 --> 00:25:38,536
The last time conspiracy
was easy to prove
525
00:25:38,538 --> 00:25:40,704
was Judas and the Romans.
526
00:25:40,706 --> 00:25:41,939
Thank you, gentlemen.
527
00:25:45,945 --> 00:25:48,245
We lose this one
after the bankers,
528
00:25:48,247 --> 00:25:50,080
we look like idiots.
529
00:25:50,082 --> 00:25:52,182
I.A.D. doesn't
have enough.
530
00:25:52,184 --> 00:25:54,952
SCHIFF:
O'Farrell
survives this,
531
00:25:54,954 --> 00:25:58,956
any cop that talks to us
is finished.
532
00:25:58,958 --> 00:26:00,758
As for Congressman Wilson...
533
00:26:00,760 --> 00:26:03,928
he makes ABSCAM look like
"Hello, Dolly."
534
00:26:03,930 --> 00:26:06,130
Investigated for campaign fraud
a dozen times.
535
00:26:06,132 --> 00:26:09,833
Draw the pyramid,
or you get no conviction.
536
00:26:09,835 --> 00:26:14,972
Congressman Wilson,
Chief O'Farrell, Captain Cragen.
537
00:26:14,974 --> 00:26:18,976
Yank a piece out,
pyramid falls... maybe.
538
00:26:23,950 --> 00:26:26,984
We appreciate your
coming over, Mr. Stone.
539
00:26:26,986 --> 00:26:29,253
Anything to avoid
embarrassing the congressman.
540
00:26:29,255 --> 00:26:31,855
You're besmirching
my reputation.
541
00:26:31,857 --> 00:26:36,293
Oh, I think you're giving me
a lot of help there, sir.
542
00:26:36,295 --> 00:26:38,262
And what will the jury think?
543
00:26:38,264 --> 00:26:41,865
Chief O'Farrell
owes you his job.
544
00:26:41,867 --> 00:26:43,817
Those bankers
545
00:26:43,818 --> 00:26:45,768
gave you more than $100,000
in campaign contribution.
546
00:26:45,771 --> 00:26:46,937
You know
what that's called?
547
00:26:46,939 --> 00:26:50,007
The greatness
of American politics.
548
00:26:50,009 --> 00:26:52,276
No, sir, it's called a road map,
549
00:26:52,278 --> 00:26:56,146
and I think a jury can find
its way from A to B.
550
00:26:56,148 --> 00:26:59,116
If you're convicted, you lose
your congressional seat
551
00:26:59,118 --> 00:27:01,318
and your pension.
552
00:27:01,320 --> 00:27:03,954
If you resign first
and then plead...
553
00:27:03,956 --> 00:27:06,857
Let's suppose
554
00:27:06,859 --> 00:27:09,893
and we're only
just supposing here.
555
00:27:09,895 --> 00:27:12,830
The congressman mentioned
his constituents' problem
556
00:27:12,832 --> 00:27:14,365
to Chief O'Farrell.
557
00:27:14,367 --> 00:27:17,935
Without suggesting
anything be done,
558
00:27:17,937 --> 00:27:20,904
we'll plead to
rewarding official misconduct,
559
00:27:20,906 --> 00:27:22,106
second degree.
560
00:27:22,108 --> 00:27:24,908
Consider bribery three.
561
00:27:24,910 --> 00:27:28,312
You think I'd plead
to a "D" felony?
562
00:27:28,314 --> 00:27:29,980
That's our offer.
563
00:27:29,982 --> 00:27:33,117
Consider it rejected.
564
00:27:53,939 --> 00:27:54,938
Paul.
565
00:27:54,940 --> 00:27:56,407
Max.
566
00:27:56,409 --> 00:27:59,109
We ordered them
to stay out of this.
567
00:27:59,111 --> 00:28:00,878
It's on our days off.
It's our time.
568
00:28:00,880 --> 00:28:01,879
I warned you.
569
00:28:01,881 --> 00:28:04,348
Lieutenant Kennedy,
sit down.
570
00:28:04,350 --> 00:28:08,052
Department's time or yours,
it's an I.A.D. Investigation.
571
00:28:08,054 --> 00:28:09,887
If you can call it
investigating.
Max
572
00:28:09,889 --> 00:28:10,988
I'm going to have you up
573
00:28:10,990 --> 00:28:12,389
on departmental charges, friend.
574
00:28:12,391 --> 00:28:14,408
Back off, Kennedy.
575
00:28:14,409 --> 00:28:16,426
The only departmental charge
here is gross incompetence.
576
00:28:16,429 --> 00:28:18,962
Gentlemen, please.
577
00:28:18,964 --> 00:28:20,130
Sit down.
578
00:28:21,901 --> 00:28:25,202
Have you got anything specific?
579
00:28:26,305 --> 00:28:29,106
Cop named McCrory, retired.
580
00:28:29,108 --> 00:28:31,108
Who worked
the property clerk's office
581
00:28:31,110 --> 00:28:32,342
after he retired.
582
00:28:32,344 --> 00:28:33,444
Wrong.
583
00:28:33,446 --> 00:28:35,112
We have the master roll call.
584
00:28:35,114 --> 00:28:37,414
You know why
cops hate I.A.D.?
585
00:28:37,416 --> 00:28:40,150
Because you idiots couldn't
convict a ten-year-old
586
00:28:40,152 --> 00:28:43,187
of selling
watered-down lemonade.
587
00:28:43,189 --> 00:28:45,122
Mccrory's on
the duty roster,
588
00:28:45,124 --> 00:28:49,093
which you
forgot to copy.
589
00:28:50,029 --> 00:28:53,163
Is that important?
590
00:28:53,165 --> 00:28:57,000
The master roll call
is made up at headquarters.
591
00:28:57,002 --> 00:29:01,004
It shows everybody
that's supposed to be working.
592
00:29:01,006 --> 00:29:04,007
Mccrory's not on it.
593
00:29:04,009 --> 00:29:07,077
LOGAN:
The duty roster is a record
of everybody who was there.
594
00:29:07,079 --> 00:29:12,082
That's the one McCrory was on
two weeks after he retired.
595
00:29:12,084 --> 00:29:15,519
LOGAN:
And his house looks like
it cost six times my salary.
596
00:29:15,521 --> 00:29:19,022
Mortgage on McCrory's house
a point and a half below market.
597
00:29:19,024 --> 00:29:20,023
Sounds like a good deal.
598
00:29:20,025 --> 00:29:21,925
Real estate agent
says McCrory
599
00:29:21,927 --> 00:29:23,093
got a $300,000 house
600
00:29:23,095 --> 00:29:25,028
for 40 cents on the dollar.
601
00:29:25,030 --> 00:29:26,263
Sounds like a better deal.
602
00:29:26,265 --> 00:29:29,199
Previous owner: Parker, Evelyn.
603
00:29:29,201 --> 00:29:30,968
Her maiden name;
married to a congressman.
604
00:29:30,970 --> 00:29:32,336
Congressman named Wilson.
605
00:29:32,338 --> 00:29:36,173
And that's not a good deal,
that's a bribe.
606
00:29:41,981 --> 00:29:44,115
BAILIFF:
Albert McCrory.
607
00:29:44,116 --> 00:29:46,250
The charges are bribe receiving
in the second degree.
608
00:29:46,252 --> 00:29:48,218
Conspiracy
in the third degree
609
00:29:48,220 --> 00:29:49,987
and tampering
with physical evidence.
610
00:29:49,989 --> 00:29:52,022
How does
the defendant plead?
611
00:29:52,024 --> 00:29:53,357
Not guilty.
612
00:29:53,359 --> 00:29:54,525
BAILIFF:
Peter O'Farrell
613
00:29:54,527 --> 00:29:56,460
and the honorable
William Wilson.
614
00:29:56,462 --> 00:30:00,063
Charges of bribery
in the second degree,
615
00:30:00,065 --> 00:30:02,332
conspiracy in the third degree.
616
00:30:02,334 --> 00:30:04,501
How do the defendants plead?
617
00:30:04,503 --> 00:30:06,103
Congressman Wilson?
618
00:30:06,105 --> 00:30:08,038
Not guilty, Your Honor.
619
00:30:08,040 --> 00:30:09,139
Chief O'Farrell?
620
00:30:09,141 --> 00:30:10,207
Not guilty.
621
00:30:10,209 --> 00:30:12,242
Your Honor, as lead counsel,
622
00:30:12,244 --> 00:30:15,212
we ask the defendants
be released R.O.R.
623
00:30:15,214 --> 00:30:17,347
Mr. Robinette?
624
00:30:17,349 --> 00:30:21,051
Your Honor, this is a case
about obstruction of justice
625
00:30:21,053 --> 00:30:25,189
and public officials selling
the benefit of their office.
626
00:30:25,191 --> 00:30:27,324
The people feel
bail is essential.
627
00:30:27,326 --> 00:30:30,093
Your Honor,
the district attorney's record
628
00:30:30,095 --> 00:30:31,495
on white-collar criminal charges
629
00:30:31,497 --> 00:30:34,398
does not make one sanguine
about their motives.
630
00:30:35,334 --> 00:30:37,501
Interesting, Mr. Quinn.
631
00:30:37,503 --> 00:30:39,503
But I don't recall
632
00:30:39,505 --> 00:30:44,041
a section in the C.P.L.
on prosecutorial motive.
633
00:30:44,043 --> 00:30:47,144
Bail is set at $50,000 each.
634
00:30:47,146 --> 00:30:49,112
Taking a bribe,
evidence tampering.
635
00:30:49,114 --> 00:30:51,348
We're not talking
hand in the cookie jar.
636
00:30:51,350 --> 00:30:53,617
Don't be foolish.
You were a pawn.
637
00:30:53,619 --> 00:30:57,120
That house put you
at the heart of this conspiracy.
638
00:30:57,122 --> 00:30:58,555
Soft market.
639
00:30:58,557 --> 00:31:00,290
I got a good deal.
640
00:31:00,292 --> 00:31:02,025
Here's a better deal.
641
00:31:02,027 --> 00:31:04,394
Four to 15 years
if you don't testify.
642
00:31:04,396 --> 00:31:06,263
You think you can convict?
643
00:31:06,265 --> 00:31:07,598
Where's the conspiracy?
644
00:31:07,600 --> 00:31:09,867
Your client worked
the property clerk's office
645
00:31:09,869 --> 00:31:11,235
after he retired.
646
00:31:11,237 --> 00:31:13,370
The jury is going
to wonder why.
647
00:31:13,372 --> 00:31:17,040
A jury needs a clear line from
that to the tampered evidence.
648
00:31:17,042 --> 00:31:18,592
You haven't got it.
649
00:31:18,593 --> 00:31:20,143
When we do,
we won't be making any deals.
650
00:31:20,145 --> 00:31:21,578
You're taking this personally.
651
00:31:21,580 --> 00:31:23,146
You bet I am.
652
00:31:23,148 --> 00:31:25,148
You know it's impossible
to get a conviction
653
00:31:25,150 --> 00:31:26,550
on a white collar criminal
with evidence.
654
00:31:26,552 --> 00:31:29,186
What he did
was worse than a crime.
655
00:31:29,188 --> 00:31:30,520
Your client
doesn't cooperate?
656
00:31:30,522 --> 00:31:32,356
I'm taking him
down, too.
657
00:31:34,426 --> 00:31:36,360
Criminal facilitation.
658
00:31:36,362 --> 00:31:38,428
He does no time.
659
00:31:38,430 --> 00:31:40,464
This case, everybody does time.
660
00:31:40,466 --> 00:31:43,166
Bribe receiving, third degree,
does 18 months.
661
00:31:43,168 --> 00:31:46,303
He does zero months
after he's acquitted.
662
00:31:46,305 --> 00:31:50,274
McCrory is not
a computer expert.
663
00:31:50,276 --> 00:31:51,608
Neither is Cragen.
664
00:31:51,610 --> 00:31:53,243
How hard is it?
665
00:31:53,245 --> 00:31:56,146
Cragen could have
done it in the precinct.
666
00:31:56,148 --> 00:31:58,448
Yeah, that computer guy at
Forensic says a 12-year-old
667
00:31:58,450 --> 00:32:00,284
could have changed
those disks.
668
00:32:00,286 --> 00:32:01,551
ROBINETTE:
Hold on.
669
00:32:01,553 --> 00:32:04,621
Shearer, the one who
went to Bermuda.
670
00:32:04,623 --> 00:32:06,290
Yeah. What about him?
671
00:32:06,292 --> 00:32:08,625
Why didn't he
do the trial work
672
00:32:08,627 --> 00:32:10,928
before he went
on his honeymoon?
673
00:32:10,930 --> 00:32:13,230
They got to him,
offered him a bribe.
674
00:32:13,232 --> 00:32:15,098
Are you crazy?
675
00:32:15,100 --> 00:32:19,202
Shearer was the one who told us
how the disks were changed.
676
00:32:19,204 --> 00:32:20,203
Right.
677
00:32:20,205 --> 00:32:21,939
Ever hear about the art expert?
678
00:32:21,941 --> 00:32:24,225
Forged a matisse.
679
00:32:24,226 --> 00:32:26,510
The museum hireshim
to see if it's a forgery.
680
00:32:26,512 --> 00:32:28,145
'Coures he says
it's a matisse.
681
00:32:28,147 --> 00:32:30,213
He authenticates
his own forgery.
682
00:32:30,215 --> 00:32:33,283
Shearer takes the disks,
changes them,
683
00:32:33,285 --> 00:32:37,154
tells I.A.D. how it's done,
looks like a hero.
684
00:32:38,157 --> 00:32:39,957
STONE:
Paul...
685
00:32:39,959 --> 00:32:43,126
find out what time
Shearer's plane landed here.
686
00:32:43,128 --> 00:32:44,528
The exact hour.
687
00:32:44,530 --> 00:32:48,231
And see if McCrory was at
the property clerk's office
688
00:32:48,233 --> 00:32:49,666
at the same time.
689
00:32:49,668 --> 00:32:52,636
Internal Affairs cleared
Detective Shearer.
690
00:32:52,638 --> 00:32:54,371
STONE:
Cleared?
691
00:32:54,373 --> 00:32:56,573
I.A.D. never suspected
Detective Shearer.
692
00:32:56,575 --> 00:33:00,177
When did he get back
from the honeymoon, Paul?
693
00:33:00,179 --> 00:33:01,979
Plane lands 2:45.
694
00:33:01,981 --> 00:33:04,681
Doorman says
Detective Shearer
and his wife
695
00:33:04,683 --> 00:33:06,183
got home at 4:00.
696
00:33:06,185 --> 00:33:08,418
He went upstairs,
dropped his bags,
697
00:33:08,420 --> 00:33:09,753
left again
ten minutes later.
698
00:33:09,755 --> 00:33:11,588
To get the dry cleaning.
699
00:33:11,590 --> 00:33:13,323
STONE:
After your honeymoon?
700
00:33:13,325 --> 00:33:14,725
That's very romantic.
701
00:33:14,727 --> 00:33:16,393
Paul.
702
00:33:16,395 --> 00:33:17,627
According to the doorman,
703
00:33:17,629 --> 00:33:20,163
Detective Shearer
was gone for three hours.
704
00:33:20,165 --> 00:33:22,399
Your dry cleaner
in Philadelphia?
705
00:33:22,401 --> 00:33:24,668
You're riding
the wrong horse.
706
00:33:24,670 --> 00:33:27,221
Do you know what happens
707
00:33:27,222 --> 00:33:29,773
when someone pleads
in the middle of a trial
like Officer McCrory?
708
00:33:29,775 --> 00:33:33,210
I'll take a deal from anyone
to get your client.
709
00:33:33,212 --> 00:33:36,580
You know, Stone,
you're wasting your talents.
710
00:33:36,582 --> 00:33:38,615
You don't write indictments.
711
00:33:38,617 --> 00:33:40,650
You write fairy tales.
712
00:33:40,652 --> 00:33:42,486
Let's get out of here.
713
00:33:48,527 --> 00:33:51,261
You really think McCrory
will make a deal?
714
00:33:51,263 --> 00:33:52,662
Not a prayer,
715
00:33:52,664 --> 00:33:54,464
but Shearer
doesn't know that.
716
00:33:54,466 --> 00:33:56,666
The tap in place?
717
00:33:56,668 --> 00:34:00,037
We'll see who he calls.
718
00:34:00,039 --> 00:34:01,438
Is Cragen involved?
719
00:34:01,440 --> 00:34:04,274
I don't want to indict him
if I'm not sure.
720
00:34:04,276 --> 00:34:06,743
What if we feed him
part of the picture?
721
00:34:06,745 --> 00:34:08,478
McCrory getting
his house on the cheap.
722
00:34:08,480 --> 00:34:09,746
See how he reacts.
723
00:34:09,748 --> 00:34:12,549
If he's in
on the conspiracy,
724
00:34:12,551 --> 00:34:14,818
anything you say
goes directly to O'Farrell.
725
00:34:14,820 --> 00:34:17,454
Give away your case
before you get to court.
726
00:34:17,456 --> 00:34:18,522
It's a gamble.
727
00:34:18,524 --> 00:34:20,290
So is the lottery.
728
00:34:20,292 --> 00:34:21,758
( intercom buzzing )
729
00:34:24,463 --> 00:34:25,595
Yeah?
730
00:34:25,597 --> 00:34:27,464
Thanks.
731
00:34:27,466 --> 00:34:30,333
Cragen.
732
00:34:32,771 --> 00:34:35,739
Like we told you,
we have nothing for you.
733
00:34:35,741 --> 00:34:38,742
You still want to be
a sacrificial lamb?
734
00:34:38,744 --> 00:34:41,344
What do you want?
735
00:34:41,346 --> 00:34:42,612
SCHIFF:
We need O'Farrell.
736
00:34:42,614 --> 00:34:44,247
STONE:
If you're not
part of this,
737
00:34:44,249 --> 00:34:45,682
wear a wire on the chief.
738
00:34:45,684 --> 00:34:48,552
And no cop ever trusts me again.
739
00:34:48,554 --> 00:34:50,787
No crooked cop
ever trusts you again.
740
00:34:50,789 --> 00:34:54,658
We're talking about a cop who's
involved in evidence tampering
741
00:34:54,660 --> 00:34:55,859
in a felony
investigation.
742
00:34:55,861 --> 00:34:56,860
That's a felony.
743
00:34:56,862 --> 00:34:59,296
I don't want to indict you.
744
00:35:00,532 --> 00:35:02,866
My God.
745
00:35:06,638 --> 00:35:08,572
Well, that house had been empty
746
00:35:08,574 --> 00:35:11,108
for...15, 16 months.
747
00:35:11,110 --> 00:35:14,111
The house wasn't on the market.
Do you know why?
748
00:35:14,113 --> 00:35:15,879
What, these days?
749
00:35:15,881 --> 00:35:18,348
Some people don't even try.
750
00:35:18,350 --> 00:35:20,383
When did it go on the market?
751
00:35:20,385 --> 00:35:24,621
Well, out of the blue,
one afternoon, she calls me--
752
00:35:24,623 --> 00:35:26,523
the congressman's wife,
Mrs. Wilson--
753
00:35:26,525 --> 00:35:28,525
and she says,
"Try to sell it."
754
00:35:28,527 --> 00:35:31,661
So, I put a sign
in the yard
755
00:35:31,663 --> 00:35:33,663
and an ad in the county paper.
756
00:35:33,665 --> 00:35:37,534
And when did Albert McCrory
make an offer on the house?
757
00:35:37,536 --> 00:35:39,836
Oh, now I don't remember
exactly when...
758
00:35:39,838 --> 00:35:41,872
Two, three days later.
759
00:35:41,874 --> 00:35:45,142
And did he say how he knew
the house was available?
760
00:35:45,144 --> 00:35:47,477
He was driving by
in his car.
761
00:35:47,479 --> 00:35:48,645
Saw the sign.
762
00:35:48,647 --> 00:35:50,814
What did you tell
the congressman's wife
763
00:35:50,816 --> 00:35:52,816
when the offer was made?
764
00:35:52,818 --> 00:35:56,920
Well, I am not like some agents.
765
00:35:56,922 --> 00:36:02,492
I don't hold back offers,
but I said, "This is crazy."
766
00:36:02,494 --> 00:36:05,862
He is offering you
half of what it's worth.
767
00:36:05,864 --> 00:36:07,764
Did she agree with you?
768
00:36:07,766 --> 00:36:09,366
Well, she said, "Sell it."
769
00:36:09,368 --> 00:36:10,934
Very firm.
770
00:36:10,936 --> 00:36:14,771
Didn't want any argument.
Just sell it.
771
00:36:18,510 --> 00:36:19,910
You're reading the jury?
772
00:36:19,912 --> 00:36:22,612
They don't like people
who buy houses at half price.
773
00:36:22,614 --> 00:36:25,615
Mr. Stone last night's tape
from the Shearer tap?
774
00:36:25,617 --> 00:36:27,450
You're going to want
to hear it.
775
00:36:27,452 --> 00:36:29,719
SHEARER:
They say you're going
to make a deal.
776
00:36:29,721 --> 00:36:31,922
McCRORY:
I don't know you.
Good-bye.
777
00:36:31,924 --> 00:36:33,857
SHEARER:
Don't leave me
swinging in the wind.
778
00:36:33,859 --> 00:36:35,959
McCRORY:
You stupid,
get off the damn phone.
779
00:36:35,961 --> 00:36:37,827
SHEARER:
This was your idea.
780
00:36:37,829 --> 00:36:39,629
( dial tone )
781
00:36:39,630 --> 00:36:41,430
SHEARER:
Don't hang up on me...
( click )
782
00:36:42,901 --> 00:36:44,868
Why did you do it?
783
00:36:44,870 --> 00:36:50,373
You needed money
for the honeymoon?
784
00:36:50,375 --> 00:36:52,542
Behind in
the credit cards?
785
00:36:52,544 --> 00:36:54,377
That tape proves nothing.
786
00:36:54,379 --> 00:36:56,613
STONE:
Sounds like
a confession to me.
787
00:36:56,615 --> 00:36:59,749
You're finished as a cop.
788
00:36:59,751 --> 00:37:02,485
The only question is,
do you want to work on computers
789
00:37:02,487 --> 00:37:07,524
or do you want to make
license plates?
790
00:37:07,526 --> 00:37:10,594
Bribery receiving
third degree,
791
00:37:10,596 --> 00:37:11,995
full restitution.
792
00:37:11,997 --> 00:37:13,964
We recommend probation.
793
00:37:17,536 --> 00:37:20,537
I don't want to go to jail.
794
00:37:20,539 --> 00:37:22,806
And when did Al McCrory
approach you?
795
00:37:22,808 --> 00:37:25,542
SHEARER:
The day after
I took the disks
796
00:37:25,544 --> 00:37:26,810
from the bank.
797
00:37:26,812 --> 00:37:28,812
Did he offer you a bribe?
798
00:37:28,814 --> 00:37:30,814
He asked me what I wanted.
799
00:37:30,816 --> 00:37:33,750
There's some judge
I read in the paper.
800
00:37:33,752 --> 00:37:35,518
He fixed a case for 20 grand.
801
00:37:35,520 --> 00:37:38,255
I figure I'm worth 20 grand,
too. He agreed.
802
00:37:38,257 --> 00:37:42,525
When you returned from
your honeymoon, what did you do?
803
00:37:42,527 --> 00:37:45,929
I got in a cab, went down
to the property clerk,
804
00:37:45,931 --> 00:37:48,832
called McCrory from a pay phone.
805
00:37:48,834 --> 00:37:51,735
He came out in a couple minutes
with the disks.
806
00:37:51,737 --> 00:37:53,536
And then what did you do?
807
00:37:53,538 --> 00:37:57,674
Uh, went to Computer Heaven--
16th street.
808
00:37:57,676 --> 00:37:59,943
Used their display model,
my own utility disks,
809
00:37:59,945 --> 00:38:02,045
wiped a few tracks clean.
810
00:38:02,047 --> 00:38:05,649
When you first brought the
evidence to the property clerk,
811
00:38:05,651 --> 00:38:07,917
Officer McCrory
wasn't working there, was he?
812
00:38:07,919 --> 00:38:08,952
No.
813
00:38:08,954 --> 00:38:10,954
And no one outside that office
814
00:38:10,956 --> 00:38:13,690
knew that you were working
on this case?
815
00:38:13,692 --> 00:38:14,924
No.
816
00:38:14,926 --> 00:38:18,528
So how did Al McCrory
find his way to you?
817
00:38:18,530 --> 00:38:20,530
I don't know.
818
00:38:20,532 --> 00:38:21,931
Somebody must have told him,
right?
819
00:38:21,933 --> 00:38:22,766
Objection.
820
00:38:22,768 --> 00:38:23,967
Withdrawn.
821
00:38:23,969 --> 00:38:25,502
No further questions.
822
00:38:27,572 --> 00:38:32,309
Detective Shearer,
in a conspiracy,
823
00:38:32,311 --> 00:38:38,315
people engage in illegal
activity with other people.
824
00:38:38,317 --> 00:38:39,983
So, let me ask you.
825
00:38:39,985 --> 00:38:42,018
Have you ever met
Peter O'Farrell?
826
00:38:42,020 --> 00:38:44,087
No...
827
00:38:44,089 --> 00:38:45,655
but Al McCrory used to...
828
00:38:45,657 --> 00:38:46,990
Yes or no, please.
829
00:38:46,992 --> 00:38:50,727
Have you ever met
Congressman William Wilson?
830
00:38:50,729 --> 00:38:51,761
No.
831
00:38:51,763 --> 00:38:53,997
Never talked
to either one of them
832
00:38:53,999 --> 00:38:55,565
on the phone, did you?
833
00:38:55,567 --> 00:38:57,100
No.
834
00:38:57,102 --> 00:38:58,735
Thank you.
835
00:38:58,737 --> 00:39:01,604
No further questions.
836
00:39:01,606 --> 00:39:03,673
Mccrory's going down,
no question there.
837
00:39:03,675 --> 00:39:05,709
The congressman?
838
00:39:05,711 --> 00:39:08,044
When the jury
looks at the bankers'
campaign contributions,
839
00:39:08,046 --> 00:39:09,512
they'll make the connection.
840
00:39:09,514 --> 00:39:11,648
O'Farrell's still
out of the game.
841
00:39:11,650 --> 00:39:14,050
The jury hasn't
seem him in a huddle,
842
00:39:14,052 --> 00:39:15,785
let alone calling a play.
843
00:39:15,787 --> 00:39:17,520
But the chief
was Wilson's protege.
844
00:39:17,522 --> 00:39:19,889
The jury can make
that leap of faith.
845
00:39:19,891 --> 00:39:20,890
Yeah, well, I wouldn't,
846
00:39:20,892 --> 00:39:23,860
and if I wouldn't,
they won't.
847
00:39:23,862 --> 00:39:26,930
O'Farrell's a better politician
than I am.
848
00:39:26,932 --> 00:39:29,933
If he wasn't a cop,
he'd be president.
849
00:39:29,935 --> 00:39:31,634
Indict Cragen.
850
00:39:31,636 --> 00:39:32,936
You don't mean that?
851
00:39:32,938 --> 00:39:34,904
Don't I?
852
00:39:34,906 --> 00:39:37,974
As a Catholic, you know
that sins of omission
853
00:39:37,976 --> 00:39:41,044
are just as bad
as sins of commission.
854
00:39:41,046 --> 00:39:42,645
He knows something.
855
00:39:42,647 --> 00:39:43,947
I don't think so.
856
00:39:43,949 --> 00:39:45,648
He looks guilty.
857
00:39:45,650 --> 00:39:48,051
Shake the tree,
see what falls out.
858
00:39:48,053 --> 00:39:49,686
Come on!
859
00:39:49,688 --> 00:39:50,954
That's blackmail, Stone.
860
00:39:50,956 --> 00:39:52,956
That's one word for it.
861
00:39:52,958 --> 00:39:56,059
a bill of indictment.
The grand jury calls it
862
00:39:56,061 --> 00:39:58,928
He's been my friend
for 20 years.
863
00:39:58,930 --> 00:40:00,663
Suppose the chief
is innocent.
864
00:40:00,665 --> 00:40:02,399
You're going to the ceremony.
Wear a wire.
865
00:40:02,401 --> 00:40:03,733
Prove us wrong.
866
00:40:15,947 --> 00:40:18,148
Cheer up!
You looked like
your dog died.
867
00:40:18,150 --> 00:40:21,651
It's hard to be cheerful
when the D.A.'S on your ass.
868
00:40:21,653 --> 00:40:23,753
Hey, Larry, how you doing?
869
00:40:23,755 --> 00:40:26,890
Look at this.
I can't even wear my uniform.
870
00:40:26,892 --> 00:40:28,825
I'm indicted.
I got to wear a suit.
871
00:40:28,827 --> 00:40:30,660
D.A. says I'm next.
872
00:40:30,662 --> 00:40:31,661
You?
873
00:40:31,663 --> 00:40:32,929
You didn't do anything.
874
00:40:32,931 --> 00:40:34,030
Stone says McCrory's scared.
875
00:40:34,032 --> 00:40:36,666
To buy himself a plea,
he'll name me.
876
00:40:36,668 --> 00:40:37,667
That's crap.
877
00:40:37,669 --> 00:40:38,902
Stone's jerking you around.
878
00:40:38,904 --> 00:40:40,036
Mccrory's a good cop.
879
00:40:40,038 --> 00:40:42,138
Who took a payoff
to do those disks.
880
00:40:42,140 --> 00:40:44,007
It looks that way,
doesn't it?
881
00:40:44,009 --> 00:40:46,109
Whatever happened, Don,
nobody touches you.
882
00:40:46,111 --> 00:40:48,745
Whatever happened?
883
00:40:48,747 --> 00:40:51,614
You mean this investigation
going slow. You?
884
00:40:51,616 --> 00:40:53,116
Me, I got nothing
to worry about.
885
00:40:53,118 --> 00:40:56,786
You do Billy Wilson
a favor?
886
00:40:59,124 --> 00:41:01,858
Don, you don't happen to
be wearing a wire, do you?
887
00:41:01,860 --> 00:41:03,827
Come on.
Why would I do that?
888
00:41:03,829 --> 00:41:05,028
I don't know.
889
00:41:05,030 --> 00:41:07,230
But you know I'd never
do anything to hurt you.
890
00:41:07,232 --> 00:41:10,967
Look, You did a favor
for Wilson, I understand.
891
00:41:10,969 --> 00:41:15,004
Billy I owe a lot,
but not my career.
892
00:41:15,006 --> 00:41:18,708
Look, none of us
walks on water.
893
00:41:18,710 --> 00:41:20,743
The way I've been
smelling lately,
894
00:41:20,745 --> 00:41:22,912
we shouldn't even be talking.
895
00:41:24,749 --> 00:41:28,017
I'll buy you dinner
after the trial, okay, kid?
896
00:41:28,019 --> 00:41:29,986
Got it.
897
00:41:34,659 --> 00:41:37,660
This mean I don't get indicted?
898
00:41:37,662 --> 00:41:39,128
You did your best.
899
00:41:39,130 --> 00:41:41,130
I had to push you.
I had no choice.
900
00:41:41,132 --> 00:41:43,867
It's not your fault, he didn't
say anything incriminating.
901
00:42:04,089 --> 00:42:07,090
Tomorrow, can you
put the word out
902
00:42:07,092 --> 00:42:09,893
that you're going to indict me?
903
00:42:12,697 --> 00:42:15,198
I'm going to get O'Farrell
for you.
904
00:42:15,200 --> 00:42:16,699
Wait a minute.
He didn't say...
905
00:42:16,701 --> 00:42:18,801
I know
what he said.
906
00:42:18,803 --> 00:42:22,238
But I looked in his eyes.
907
00:42:34,219 --> 00:42:36,085
So they indict you.
908
00:42:36,087 --> 00:42:38,922
It's not the end
of the world.
909
00:42:38,924 --> 00:42:40,089
No, getting convicted--
910
00:42:40,091 --> 00:42:42,959
that would be the end
of the world.
911
00:42:42,961 --> 00:42:45,028
Yeah.
912
00:42:45,029 --> 00:42:47,096
I.A.D. cleaned out
my office this morning,
913
00:42:47,098 --> 00:42:49,098
but not everything.
914
00:42:49,100 --> 00:42:52,302
Hey, they convict you,
I go down, too.
915
00:42:55,140 --> 00:42:58,141
So what didn't they get?
916
00:42:58,143 --> 00:42:59,242
A couple of memos.
917
00:42:59,244 --> 00:43:00,577
Originals, no copies.
918
00:43:00,579 --> 00:43:02,579
My detectives were complaining
919
00:43:02,581 --> 00:43:05,114
that your investigation
of the erased disks
920
00:43:05,116 --> 00:43:07,984
was going a little too slow
on purpose.
921
00:43:07,986 --> 00:43:11,120
They wanted to take it to I.A.D.
during the trial.
922
00:43:11,122 --> 00:43:13,957
And you took those memos home?
923
00:43:13,959 --> 00:43:17,193
I guess I could burn them.
924
00:43:19,130 --> 00:43:22,198
Even you.
925
00:43:24,803 --> 00:43:28,204
I always said
you were straight.
926
00:43:28,206 --> 00:43:31,207
Well, I got one foot
in bed with you already.
927
00:43:31,209 --> 00:43:32,275
That was loyalty.
928
00:43:32,277 --> 00:43:33,977
I'd like a little taste
929
00:43:33,979 --> 00:43:36,279
if I'm going to put
the other one under the covers.
930
00:43:36,281 --> 00:43:39,248
After all, I do have a swimming
pool to pay for.
931
00:43:41,152 --> 00:43:44,354
( wry chuckle )
932
00:43:47,158 --> 00:43:50,026
Yeah.
933
00:43:50,028 --> 00:43:53,896
20 grand we give
that computer cop.
934
00:43:53,898 --> 00:43:56,132
We would have
given him 200.
935
00:43:56,134 --> 00:44:00,036
Now, for these memos,
you want a piece, huh?
936
00:44:00,038 --> 00:44:01,170
Yeah.
937
00:44:01,172 --> 00:44:03,206
All right, me
and Billy Wilson
938
00:44:03,208 --> 00:44:05,041
split 300 grand.
939
00:44:05,043 --> 00:44:09,145
Now, three ways,
that's 100 apiece even.
940
00:44:09,147 --> 00:44:11,080
Is that fair?
941
00:44:11,082 --> 00:44:13,349
Oh, that's more than fair.
942
00:44:13,351 --> 00:44:15,852
Yeah.
943
00:44:17,288 --> 00:44:20,123
You're my best cop.
944
00:44:24,195 --> 00:44:26,929
I never would have figured.
945
00:44:38,209 --> 00:44:40,943
Ben Stone, please.
946
00:44:40,945 --> 00:44:43,346
Tell him it's Don Cragen.
947
00:44:43,348 --> 00:44:45,081
And during this conversation,
948
00:44:45,083 --> 00:44:47,083
did the defendant,
Peter O'Farrell
949
00:44:47,085 --> 00:44:49,085
admit to accepting a bribe?
950
00:44:49,087 --> 00:44:50,453
Objection. Hearsay.
951
00:44:50,455 --> 00:44:52,255
Statement against interest,
Your Honor.
952
00:44:52,257 --> 00:44:53,456
Overruled.
953
00:44:53,458 --> 00:44:55,124
Witness will answer.
954
00:44:55,126 --> 00:44:59,696
Chief O'Farrell told me
that he and Congressman Wilson
955
00:44:59,698 --> 00:45:02,699
received $300,000
from the three bankers
956
00:45:02,701 --> 00:45:04,233
to destroy evidence.
957
00:45:04,235 --> 00:45:07,370
And did Chief O'Farrell tell you
he had offered to bribe anyone?
958
00:45:07,372 --> 00:45:12,041
He said he told McCrory to pay
Detective Shearer $20,000.
959
00:45:12,043 --> 00:45:14,310
Did he offer you a bribe?
960
00:45:14,312 --> 00:45:18,214
$100,000 to destroy evidence.
961
00:45:18,216 --> 00:45:20,717
Thank you.
No further questions.
962
00:45:20,719 --> 00:45:23,453
No questions.
963
00:45:30,061 --> 00:45:34,130
Concerning defendant
Albert McCrory
964
00:45:34,132 --> 00:45:36,265
on the charge of bribe
receiving in the second degree,
965
00:45:36,267 --> 00:45:37,266
how does the jury find?
966
00:45:37,268 --> 00:45:39,318
Guilty.
967
00:45:39,319 --> 00:45:41,369
On the charge of conspiracy
in the third degree?
968
00:45:41,372 --> 00:45:43,389
Guilty.
969
00:45:43,390 --> 00:45:45,407
On the charge of tampering
with physical evidence?
970
00:45:45,410 --> 00:45:47,043
Guilty.
971
00:45:47,045 --> 00:45:48,311
Concerning defendant
972
00:45:48,313 --> 00:45:50,179
William Wilson
973
00:45:50,181 --> 00:45:53,182
on the charge of bribery
in the second degree,
974
00:45:53,184 --> 00:45:54,951
how does the jury find?
975
00:45:54,953 --> 00:45:56,986
Guilty.
976
00:45:56,987 --> 00:45:59,020
On the charge of conspiracy
in the third degree?
977
00:45:59,023 --> 00:46:00,123
Guilty.
978
00:46:00,125 --> 00:46:03,493
Concerning defendant
Peter O'Farrell
979
00:46:03,495 --> 00:46:06,162
on the charge of bribery
in the second degree,
980
00:46:06,164 --> 00:46:07,463
how does the jury find?
981
00:46:07,465 --> 00:46:09,065
Guilty.
982
00:46:09,067 --> 00:46:11,167
On the charge of conspiracy
in the third degree?
983
00:46:11,169 --> 00:46:12,769
Guilty.
984
00:46:12,771 --> 00:46:16,372
Before this court adjourns,
985
00:46:16,374 --> 00:46:19,308
I want to note for the record
that I am appalled.
986
00:46:19,310 --> 00:46:21,344
We often say that
public officials
987
00:46:21,346 --> 00:46:25,148
are not above the law,
but that's not enough.
988
00:46:25,150 --> 00:46:26,415
They serve the law.
989
00:46:26,417 --> 00:46:28,017
If they don't respect it,
990
00:46:28,019 --> 00:46:29,786
who will?
991
00:46:29,788 --> 00:46:31,387
Court is adjourned.
992
00:46:31,389 --> 00:46:32,555
( gavel falls )
993
00:46:37,128 --> 00:46:40,797
WOMAN:
Mr. Cragen, could you
give us a statement please?
994
00:46:40,799 --> 00:46:43,332
MAN:
Any comments at all?
995
00:46:43,334 --> 00:46:47,336
O'Farrell was not a cop.
996
00:46:47,338 --> 00:46:49,806
He was always
a politician.
997
00:46:49,808 --> 00:46:53,209
Whatever you're feeling,
don't.
998
00:46:53,211 --> 00:46:55,344
The swimming pool, Max--
999
00:46:55,346 --> 00:46:58,481
you were wondering about it?
1000
00:46:58,483 --> 00:46:58,514
Marge paid for it.
