1
00:00:01,035 --> 00:00:03,602
In the criminal justice system
2
00:00:03,604 --> 00:00:05,404
the people are represented
3
00:00:05,406 --> 00:00:08,173
by two separate
yet equally important groups:
4
00:00:08,175 --> 00:00:10,142
the police,
who investigate crime
5
00:00:10,144 --> 00:00:13,479
and the district attorneys,
who prosecute the offenders.
6
00:00:13,481 --> 00:00:16,215
These are their stories.
7
00:00:16,217 --> 00:00:19,184
Your mom's paying
for an A.P. prep course?
8
00:00:19,186 --> 00:00:20,586
You don't need it.
9
00:00:20,588 --> 00:00:22,021
I need a five.
10
00:00:22,023 --> 00:00:24,423
She thinks
it's the best way.
11
00:00:24,425 --> 00:00:27,059
The best way is not
to worry so much.
12
00:00:27,061 --> 00:00:29,061
Easy for you to say.
13
00:00:29,063 --> 00:00:32,398
( speaking Chinese )
14
00:00:32,400 --> 00:00:34,233
( speaking Chinese )
15
00:00:34,235 --> 00:00:37,102
( speaking Chinese )
16
00:00:37,104 --> 00:00:39,204
What did he say?
17
00:00:39,206 --> 00:00:42,341
Low faan... barbarians.
18
00:00:42,343 --> 00:00:44,610
They don't want Tim
hanging around white people.
19
00:00:44,612 --> 00:00:47,246
Your family
still doesn't want
20
00:00:47,248 --> 00:00:48,614
to meet me, do they?
21
00:00:48,616 --> 00:00:52,184
Why don't you take me home
with you right now
22
00:00:52,186 --> 00:00:54,053
and introduce me
to your mother?
23
00:00:57,358 --> 00:00:59,425
You handled that real well.
24
00:01:02,596 --> 00:01:05,064
Kate, what are you doing?
25
00:01:05,066 --> 00:01:06,198
Walking.
26
00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:09,068
I'd say you're
an insensitive jerk.
27
00:01:09,070 --> 00:01:11,603
I'd say it was none
of your business.
28
00:01:11,605 --> 00:01:14,206
Both you and Tim
are real mature.
29
00:01:14,208 --> 00:01:16,108
( gunfire )
30
00:01:16,110 --> 00:01:17,276
What was that?
31
00:01:25,219 --> 00:01:27,119
Oh, my God!
32
00:01:27,121 --> 00:01:29,088
Oh, my God!
33
00:01:29,090 --> 00:01:30,289
No!
34
00:01:33,494 --> 00:01:35,861
LOGAN:
Let me get this straight.
35
00:01:35,863 --> 00:01:37,229
It's the middle
of the afternoon.
36
00:01:37,231 --> 00:01:40,099
You got three shots,
but no witnesses?
37
00:01:40,101 --> 00:01:42,367
Maybe people thought
it was a car backfiring.
38
00:01:42,369 --> 00:01:45,104
This is a freaking
echo chamber in here.
39
00:01:45,106 --> 00:01:47,106
It must have sounded
like the Fourth of July.
40
00:01:47,108 --> 00:01:49,108
It didn't happen
on the streets.
41
00:01:49,110 --> 00:01:51,343
You want a guy who saw
two dogs nearby?
42
00:01:51,345 --> 00:01:52,611
Hey, no problem.
43
00:01:52,613 --> 00:01:55,114
A dog did it.
44
00:01:55,116 --> 00:01:58,217
Okay, kid still had
his wallet on him.
45
00:01:58,219 --> 00:02:00,886
Get this: a thousand-dollar
laptop computer
46
00:02:00,888 --> 00:02:02,387
in his knapsack.
47
00:02:02,389 --> 00:02:07,126
He was a star physics student
at Manhattan Science.
48
00:02:07,128 --> 00:02:08,227
A dead end.
49
00:02:08,229 --> 00:02:09,895
No way out the back.
50
00:02:09,897 --> 00:02:12,397
Kid leaves his friends on
the way back from school.
51
00:02:12,399 --> 00:02:14,500
Why does he walk
in here?
52
00:02:14,502 --> 00:02:16,902
Someone was waiting,
called him in.
53
00:02:16,904 --> 00:02:18,470
Or he was expecting
somebody.
54
00:02:18,472 --> 00:02:19,905
Maybe.
55
00:02:19,907 --> 00:02:22,474
So have C.S.U. check
the grounds, every inch, okay?
56
00:02:22,476 --> 00:02:23,742
Right.
57
00:02:23,744 --> 00:02:26,512
Have you seen
the Jade Squad report?
58
00:02:26,514 --> 00:02:29,548
Three Chinese gang hits
in two months.
59
00:02:32,753 --> 00:02:35,621
We're going to take you
to the precinct.
60
00:02:35,623 --> 00:02:37,623
You can call
your parents.
61
00:02:37,625 --> 00:02:42,161
He'd still be alive if I'd
just kept walking with him.
62
00:02:43,731 --> 00:02:47,499
You never think something
like this would happen
63
00:02:47,501 --> 00:02:49,168
to people like us.
64
00:02:51,505 --> 00:02:53,405
Somebody ought to tell him
65
00:02:53,407 --> 00:02:56,175
bullets don't recognize
your I.Q.
66
00:02:57,745 --> 00:03:02,247
Captioning sponsored by
NBC/UNIVERSAL
67
00:04:20,294 --> 00:04:21,360
They just drove by.
68
00:04:21,362 --> 00:04:23,362
Tim said something
in Chinese.
69
00:04:23,364 --> 00:04:24,830
Then they were gone.
70
00:04:24,832 --> 00:04:26,365
Here.
71
00:04:26,367 --> 00:04:28,967
These boys in the car,
these were Tim's friends?
72
00:04:28,969 --> 00:04:30,969
She told you,
she hardly saw them.
73
00:04:30,971 --> 00:04:32,804
Let your daughter talk.
74
00:04:32,806 --> 00:04:35,040
Tim didn't talk
about his friends.
75
00:04:35,042 --> 00:04:37,809
So you didn't recognize
any of them.
76
00:04:37,811 --> 00:04:39,378
They weren't
from school.
77
00:04:39,380 --> 00:04:40,979
BOY:
Those leather jackets--
78
00:04:40,981 --> 00:04:44,049
they looked like
they were in a gang.
79
00:04:44,051 --> 00:04:46,318
Tim wasn't in a gang.
80
00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:47,953
He did live in Chinatown.
81
00:04:47,955 --> 00:04:49,955
And what does that mean?
82
00:04:49,957 --> 00:04:51,657
Mom.
83
00:04:51,659 --> 00:04:53,625
You know something
about the boy's family?
84
00:04:53,627 --> 00:04:55,460
I do business with the Chinese.
85
00:04:55,462 --> 00:04:57,729
They live in a different world.
86
00:04:57,731 --> 00:05:00,932
They're from Canal Street,
not Mars.
87
00:05:04,071 --> 00:05:07,072
3:30 in the afternoon
and nobody sees this thing?
88
00:05:07,074 --> 00:05:08,373
There were
six uniforms.
89
00:05:08,375 --> 00:05:10,075
They didn't turn up
anybody
90
00:05:10,077 --> 00:05:12,044
so we canvassed
and we got nothing.
91
00:05:12,046 --> 00:05:14,646
It's the back
of an apartment house.
92
00:05:14,648 --> 00:05:16,481
Not a lot of people there.
93
00:05:16,483 --> 00:05:19,084
We can't be sure if it was
the Chinese kids in the car.
94
00:05:19,086 --> 00:05:21,353
What can we be sure of?
95
00:05:21,355 --> 00:05:23,355
If you grow up in Chinatown
96
00:05:23,357 --> 00:05:25,957
you're a gang member
or you have troubles.
97
00:05:25,959 --> 00:05:27,326
Any indications of gangs?
98
00:05:27,328 --> 00:05:29,061
C.S.U. found three shells.
99
00:05:29,063 --> 00:05:32,664
Ballistics says
they're .380 Tanfoglio titan.
100
00:05:32,666 --> 00:05:36,034
That's an expensive weapon
for an ordinary street kid.
101
00:05:36,036 --> 00:05:37,669
Okay, I'll buy that.
102
00:05:37,671 --> 00:05:39,771
Let's see what the family says.
103
00:05:39,773 --> 00:05:41,039
Great, I can't wait.
104
00:05:41,041 --> 00:05:42,941
"Sorry about your son.
105
00:05:42,943 --> 00:05:45,811
Was he running
any protection rackets?"
106
00:05:45,813 --> 00:05:49,047
Find a more diplomatic way
of putting it, Mike.
107
00:05:53,087 --> 00:05:56,355
Please don't mention that
in front of my mother.
108
00:05:56,357 --> 00:05:58,790
My brother wasn't in a gang.
109
00:05:58,792 --> 00:06:01,793
Miss Chong, we're trying
to find a motive.
110
00:06:01,795 --> 00:06:03,395
I would have known.
111
00:06:03,397 --> 00:06:05,797
All due respect ma'am, you're
older than your brother.
112
00:06:05,799 --> 00:06:07,099
You don't live down here...
113
00:06:07,101 --> 00:06:09,067
My mother would have known.
114
00:06:09,069 --> 00:06:12,471
She paid more attention
to Tim's life than her own.
115
00:06:14,408 --> 00:06:18,377
All Tim wanted
was to get out of here.
116
00:06:18,379 --> 00:06:20,879
He was going to M.I.T.
117
00:06:22,416 --> 00:06:24,883
( speaking Chinese )
118
00:06:27,421 --> 00:06:29,421
Policemen, Mother.
119
00:06:29,423 --> 00:06:32,090
( speaking Chinese )
120
00:06:32,092 --> 00:06:33,859
Tim not in gang.
121
00:06:33,861 --> 00:06:37,129
Sometimes when children
are away from home...
122
00:06:37,131 --> 00:06:39,431
He told her everything.
123
00:06:39,433 --> 00:06:41,767
Not about
his girlfriend.
124
00:06:41,769 --> 00:06:44,102
CERRETA:
Did Tim ever seem upset
125
00:06:44,104 --> 00:06:46,838
or look like he'd been
in a fight?
126
00:06:46,840 --> 00:06:48,774
All the time,
after every drug deal.
127
00:06:53,113 --> 00:06:56,047
He spent his weekends
at the library.
128
00:06:56,049 --> 00:06:58,450
Your brother must have had
some friends
129
00:06:58,452 --> 00:06:59,885
in the neighborhood.
130
00:06:59,887 --> 00:07:03,155
( speaking Chinese )
131
00:07:05,826 --> 00:07:09,127
Just school friends.
132
00:07:09,129 --> 00:07:13,098
Do you think we could see
your brother's room?
133
00:07:13,100 --> 00:07:15,967
Maybe get a picture
of him?
134
00:07:15,969 --> 00:07:18,837
If she didn't know
about the girlfriend
135
00:07:18,839 --> 00:07:21,840
maybe she didn't know
about his friends
136
00:07:21,842 --> 00:07:23,141
on the street.
137
00:07:39,059 --> 00:07:42,527
Chairman Mao, Albert Einstein,
and Patrick Ewing.
138
00:07:42,529 --> 00:07:45,030
What do you think
they got in common?
139
00:07:45,032 --> 00:07:47,566
One 17-year-old
Chinese kid.
140
00:07:54,608 --> 00:07:57,008
Phil, look at this.
141
00:07:57,010 --> 00:08:03,515
"Timothy Chong, winner of
the NASA Science Competition."
142
00:08:03,517 --> 00:08:06,051
This kid had everything.
143
00:08:06,053 --> 00:08:08,053
So why is he dead?
144
00:08:08,055 --> 00:08:10,055
I got a better question.
145
00:08:10,057 --> 00:08:12,524
Why did he go
to a plastic surgeon?
146
00:08:12,526 --> 00:08:15,527
"Removal of tattoo"?
147
00:08:15,529 --> 00:08:17,062
Gang insignia?
148
00:08:17,064 --> 00:08:19,931
Maybe the M.E.
Can tell us.
149
00:08:19,933 --> 00:08:23,668
First, I want to talk to someone
on that Jade Squad.
150
00:08:23,670 --> 00:08:24,936
MAN:
Tiger tattoo.
151
00:08:24,938 --> 00:08:27,072
That's the White Tigers.
152
00:08:27,074 --> 00:08:29,674
But this kid went
to Manhattan Science.
153
00:08:29,676 --> 00:08:32,077
That tiger on his arm
wasn't a fashion statement.
154
00:08:32,079 --> 00:08:33,846
He has no record.
155
00:08:33,847 --> 00:08:35,614
Half the smack in the country
blows through here.
156
00:08:35,616 --> 00:08:37,682
You seen a lot of arrests?
157
00:08:37,684 --> 00:08:39,551
Maybe they're
paying you off.
158
00:08:39,553 --> 00:08:40,285
Yeah, millions.
159
00:08:40,287 --> 00:08:42,153
My mortgage is a front.
160
00:08:42,155 --> 00:08:44,155
You got nobody
on the inside?
161
00:08:44,157 --> 00:08:46,057
I had one.
162
00:08:46,059 --> 00:08:48,293
You got a medium,
you can talk to him.
163
00:08:48,295 --> 00:08:51,029
We found him in little pieces
on Hester Street.
164
00:08:51,031 --> 00:08:54,666
Listen, how bad do you want
to break this?
165
00:08:54,668 --> 00:08:58,937
I know a kid in the Tigers
who will talk to you.
166
00:08:58,939 --> 00:09:02,941
If there's any hint they did it,
you'll know.
167
00:09:02,943 --> 00:09:06,645
Tim Chong--
I seen it in the papers.
168
00:09:06,647 --> 00:09:09,080
Rumor has it
he was a White Tiger.
169
00:09:09,082 --> 00:09:10,181
Yeah, for five seconds.
170
00:09:10,183 --> 00:09:12,083
Was it a happy divorce?
171
00:09:12,085 --> 00:09:13,318
We don't shoot people.
172
00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:15,954
My lawyer--
he advises against it.
173
00:09:15,956 --> 00:09:19,057
You always take
your lawyer's advice?
174
00:09:19,059 --> 00:09:21,593
Why would we want
the kid dead, huh?
175
00:09:21,595 --> 00:09:24,629
Tim Chong buys
that American dream crap.
176
00:09:24,631 --> 00:09:26,064
We didn't care.
177
00:09:26,066 --> 00:09:27,933
See that kid over there?
178
00:09:27,935 --> 00:09:29,067
Kid sells smack.
179
00:09:29,069 --> 00:09:31,670
What some stiff at IBM
makes in a year
180
00:09:31,672 --> 00:09:33,305
he can make in one week.
181
00:09:33,307 --> 00:09:35,106
No matter
how much you make
182
00:09:35,108 --> 00:09:37,175
it's hard to spend it
in Attica.
183
00:09:37,177 --> 00:09:39,311
We didn't do Tim Chong.
184
00:09:39,313 --> 00:09:40,979
All right, listen.
185
00:09:40,981 --> 00:09:42,013
A wagon
186
00:09:42,015 --> 00:09:44,082
like a Jeep or a blazer.
187
00:09:44,084 --> 00:09:45,016
Yellow.
188
00:09:45,018 --> 00:09:47,085
Who drives it?
189
00:09:47,087 --> 00:09:48,320
I don't know.
190
00:09:48,322 --> 00:09:50,055
If I knew, I'd tell you.
191
00:09:50,057 --> 00:09:52,657
We didn't want the kid hit.
192
00:09:52,659 --> 00:09:55,627
So much
for the American dream, huh?
193
00:09:55,629 --> 00:09:57,629
He did everything right.
194
00:09:57,631 --> 00:09:59,364
Wound up dead anyway.
195
00:10:01,101 --> 00:10:03,935
Ballistics compared the slugs
from Chong
196
00:10:03,937 --> 00:10:06,171
to every Chinese gang killing
in the past three years.
197
00:10:06,173 --> 00:10:08,039
No match.
198
00:10:08,041 --> 00:10:11,076
This kid is 17 years old-- how
many enemies could he have?
199
00:10:11,078 --> 00:10:14,045
This kid was getting bagged
for having white friends.
200
00:10:14,047 --> 00:10:16,247
The wind only blows
in one direction?
201
00:10:16,249 --> 00:10:18,650
There's going to be talk.
202
00:10:18,652 --> 00:10:20,986
We ought to run
at the girlfriend
203
00:10:20,988 --> 00:10:22,020
without the mother.
204
00:10:22,022 --> 00:10:23,254
CRAGEN:
That's risky.
205
00:10:23,256 --> 00:10:25,724
If she's involved
206
00:10:25,725 --> 00:10:28,193
whatever she says is useless
without a parent there.
207
00:10:28,195 --> 00:10:32,330
When her mother's around,
everything she says is useless.
208
00:10:32,332 --> 00:10:34,666
Most of Timmy's friends
were white.
209
00:10:34,668 --> 00:10:38,003
He's American, so that
wouldn't be a problem, right?
210
00:10:38,005 --> 00:10:41,106
Some of my friends,
they call me an egg.
211
00:10:41,108 --> 00:10:44,275
White on the outside,
yellow on the inside.
212
00:10:44,277 --> 00:10:46,177
Calling names
is one thing
213
00:10:46,179 --> 00:10:49,014
but does it go
beyond that?
214
00:10:49,016 --> 00:10:50,048
It's not violent.
215
00:10:50,050 --> 00:10:51,416
LOGAN:
No fistfights?
216
00:10:51,418 --> 00:10:53,218
Breaking into a locker?
217
00:10:53,220 --> 00:10:54,686
The worst it gets--
218
00:10:54,688 --> 00:10:56,821
somebody sprayed graffiti.
219
00:10:56,823 --> 00:11:00,825
It said "slant-eyes"
on the door of the 1600 Club.
220
00:11:00,827 --> 00:11:03,662
It's a study group
for the S.A.T.S.
221
00:11:03,664 --> 00:11:05,363
1600's a perfect score.
222
00:11:05,365 --> 00:11:07,832
The club's about half Chinese.
223
00:11:07,834 --> 00:11:11,002
So Tim wasn't having
any trouble with anybody?
224
00:11:11,004 --> 00:11:12,437
I'm really not sure.
225
00:11:12,439 --> 00:11:15,373
We weren't communicating
very well.
226
00:11:15,375 --> 00:11:17,208
Well, who would he talk to?
227
00:11:17,210 --> 00:11:20,679
Maybe Mr. Steinman,
our physics teacher.
228
00:11:20,681 --> 00:11:23,381
He knew tim pretty well.
229
00:11:23,383 --> 00:11:25,684
Tim's the best I ever taught.
230
00:11:25,686 --> 00:11:27,352
How long have you
been teaching?
231
00:11:27,354 --> 00:11:29,354
Long enough not to exaggerate.
232
00:11:29,356 --> 00:11:31,089
He won the NASA award.
233
00:11:31,091 --> 00:11:34,426
This year, he was a shoo-in
for the Hellmuth Competition.
234
00:11:34,428 --> 00:11:37,762
Kids give him grief
for screwing up the curve?
235
00:11:37,764 --> 00:11:39,764
Students are
sophisticated here.
236
00:11:39,766 --> 00:11:41,299
They compete to get in.
237
00:11:41,301 --> 00:11:43,034
What about after?
238
00:11:43,036 --> 00:11:47,038
Getting in is the start
of the race, not the end.
239
00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:48,773
This science competition--
the Hellmuth--
240
00:11:48,775 --> 00:11:51,342
do you have anybody else
who might win it?
241
00:11:51,344 --> 00:11:53,778
What are you getting at?
242
00:11:53,780 --> 00:11:55,880
Any prize money
for it?
243
00:11:55,882 --> 00:11:58,717
$20,000, but it isn't the point.
244
00:11:58,719 --> 00:12:01,453
It's the Nobel Prize
of high school.
245
00:12:01,455 --> 00:12:04,289
Who's the also-ran?
246
00:12:04,291 --> 00:12:06,291
Any number of people.
247
00:12:06,293 --> 00:12:08,727
Are you betting
on any favorites?
248
00:12:11,298 --> 00:12:12,764
Okay...
249
00:12:12,766 --> 00:12:15,400
he was with Tim
when he was shot.
250
00:12:15,402 --> 00:12:16,434
The Borland kid.
251
00:12:16,436 --> 00:12:17,802
Carl.
252
00:12:17,804 --> 00:12:20,772
He and Tim
were always number one and two.
253
00:12:20,774 --> 00:12:21,906
Since when always?
254
00:12:21,908 --> 00:12:23,441
Since freshman year.
255
00:12:23,443 --> 00:12:26,077
Drove Carl's mother crazy.
256
00:12:26,079 --> 00:12:27,779
I don't know how bad it was
257
00:12:27,781 --> 00:12:31,182
but parent-teachers night,
Carl's parents up in front
258
00:12:31,184 --> 00:12:32,450
Tim's mother in back.
259
00:12:32,452 --> 00:12:33,885
Boys were friends.
260
00:12:33,887 --> 00:12:36,321
The parents
never even said hello.
261
00:12:38,825 --> 00:12:40,391
I remember that night.
262
00:12:40,393 --> 00:12:42,827
Mrs. Borland
couldn't even look at us.
263
00:12:42,829 --> 00:12:43,928
Weren't Tim
264
00:12:43,930 --> 00:12:45,263
and Carl friends?
265
00:12:45,265 --> 00:12:46,765
Carl's a nice boy.
266
00:12:46,767 --> 00:12:50,268
His mother is not
a well woman.
267
00:12:50,270 --> 00:12:53,304
What does this have
to do with Tim?
268
00:12:53,306 --> 00:12:55,106
Two kids are friends.
269
00:12:55,108 --> 00:12:57,208
Usually the parents say hello.
270
00:12:57,210 --> 00:12:59,210
She said hello when she called
271
00:12:59,212 --> 00:13:01,346
and said we weren't
real Americans--
272
00:13:01,348 --> 00:13:03,515
why should Tim
get the prizes?
273
00:13:03,517 --> 00:13:07,352
Carl's older brother
called, too.
274
00:13:07,354 --> 00:13:10,188
You're not saying...
275
00:13:10,190 --> 00:13:14,926
( speaking Chinese )
276
00:13:14,928 --> 00:13:16,494
My mother wants to know
277
00:13:16,496 --> 00:13:18,930
are you suggesting Tim
was killed
278
00:13:18,932 --> 00:13:22,400
so Chinese kid
wouldn't win the scholarship?
279
00:13:28,241 --> 00:13:31,109
Every parent wants his kid
to be number one.
280
00:13:31,111 --> 00:13:33,478
Every parent doesn't make
threatening phone calls.
281
00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:35,213
You talked to Chong's
girlfriend twice.
282
00:13:35,215 --> 00:13:38,049
Trouble like this
she would have mentioned.
283
00:13:38,051 --> 00:13:40,151
She was a wreck.
284
00:13:40,153 --> 00:13:42,287
She probably would have told us.
285
00:13:42,289 --> 00:13:44,322
We're talking
about $20,000
286
00:13:44,324 --> 00:13:46,124
and the biggest
science prize
287
00:13:46,126 --> 00:13:48,210
in the whole country.
288
00:13:48,211 --> 00:13:50,295
And Marian Borland is wired
about her son Carl.
289
00:13:50,297 --> 00:13:54,532
Looked to me like the father
was playing with a full deck.
290
00:13:54,534 --> 00:13:57,569
Why don't we pay her a visit,
punch a few buttons
291
00:13:57,571 --> 00:14:00,038
and rule her out--
that okay with you?
292
00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:03,208
That's okay with me.
293
00:14:03,210 --> 00:14:05,043
We were all shocked.
294
00:14:05,045 --> 00:14:07,312
Tim's murder--
it's horrible.
295
00:14:07,314 --> 00:14:10,582
Maybe we should raise
our children in the suburbs.
296
00:14:10,584 --> 00:14:12,584
I guess it's
as bad there.
297
00:14:12,586 --> 00:14:15,286
So, what does this
have to do with me?
298
00:14:15,288 --> 00:14:18,990
Claudia Chong said you made
some unpleasant phone calls.
299
00:14:18,992 --> 00:14:23,061
I love my son.
300
00:14:23,063 --> 00:14:27,265
Maybe sometimes... I go too far.
301
00:14:27,267 --> 00:14:29,300
How far is that?
302
00:14:29,302 --> 00:14:31,236
Oh, this is ridiculous.
303
00:14:31,238 --> 00:14:33,238
Tim was a lovely kid
304
00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:35,974
but the boys
were very competitive.
305
00:14:35,976 --> 00:14:37,108
It wasn't healthy.
306
00:14:37,110 --> 00:14:39,077
Do you have children?
307
00:14:40,247 --> 00:14:42,213
You know how hard it is.
308
00:14:42,215 --> 00:14:44,315
Yes, but I don't call
other parents
309
00:14:44,317 --> 00:14:47,218
when their kids
get better grades than mine.
310
00:14:47,220 --> 00:14:49,220
I admit I was...
311
00:14:49,222 --> 00:14:51,322
inconsiderate.
312
00:14:51,324 --> 00:14:53,124
Did you tell the Chongs
313
00:14:53,126 --> 00:14:54,993
that Chinese
shouldn't win prizes?
314
00:14:54,995 --> 00:14:57,562
Of course I didn't.
315
00:14:57,564 --> 00:15:00,565
At 3:30 on the afternoon
that Tim Chong was shot
316
00:15:00,567 --> 00:15:02,133
can you tell us
your whereabouts?
317
00:15:02,135 --> 00:15:05,103
This is unbelievable.
318
00:15:05,105 --> 00:15:07,672
The idea that I...
319
00:15:07,674 --> 00:15:10,208
Mrs. Borland, look,
we got to ask you.
320
00:15:10,210 --> 00:15:12,010
( sighing )
321
00:15:12,012 --> 00:15:14,012
It was Thursday?
322
00:15:14,014 --> 00:15:16,414
My shift ends at 3:30.
323
00:15:16,416 --> 00:15:20,385
Randy, my oldest boy,
picks me up and takes me home.
324
00:15:20,387 --> 00:15:23,187
Maybe one of the employees
saw you leave.
325
00:15:23,189 --> 00:15:26,658
I don't know
who would have seen me.
326
00:15:26,660 --> 00:15:28,293
Where can we find Randy?
327
00:15:28,295 --> 00:15:29,661
Fulton Fish Market.
328
00:15:29,663 --> 00:15:31,129
He works with his father.
329
00:15:31,131 --> 00:15:33,331
Thank you.
330
00:15:33,333 --> 00:15:36,267
This hasn't been easy
on any of us.
331
00:15:38,271 --> 00:15:40,338
Right.
332
00:15:40,340 --> 00:15:43,708
Every Tuesday and Thursday
I get her.
333
00:15:43,710 --> 00:15:47,645
Anybody here when you left
to pick her up?
334
00:15:47,647 --> 00:15:49,213
Nobody comes till late.
335
00:15:49,215 --> 00:15:53,151
Hey, guys, my mom told me
what you're thinking.
336
00:15:53,153 --> 00:15:54,619
Really?
337
00:15:54,621 --> 00:15:57,121
We just left her
20 minutes ago.
338
00:15:57,123 --> 00:15:58,356
Yeah, but she called.
339
00:15:58,358 --> 00:16:00,992
Lunch hour,
she's under pressure...
340
00:16:00,994 --> 00:16:02,327
you coming in like that.
341
00:16:02,329 --> 00:16:04,395
So you picked her up
at 3:00, right?
342
00:16:04,397 --> 00:16:06,731
3:30. I dropped her at home.
343
00:16:06,733 --> 00:16:09,167
Look, maybe my mom said
some dumb things...
344
00:16:09,169 --> 00:16:11,469
You called
the Chongs, too, right?
345
00:16:12,405 --> 00:16:14,739
My mom wouldn't kill anybody.
346
00:16:14,741 --> 00:16:17,075
What happened after you
dropped her at home?
347
00:16:17,077 --> 00:16:19,277
"Y", 23rd street,
shot some hoops.
348
00:16:19,279 --> 00:16:21,012
Regular game 4:00.
349
00:16:21,014 --> 00:16:23,247
I get back,
there's a note from dad.
350
00:16:23,249 --> 00:16:25,183
He went to take care of Carl.
351
00:16:25,185 --> 00:16:26,718
Didn't that worry you?
352
00:16:26,720 --> 00:16:30,688
I was sorry
about the Chinese kid
353
00:16:30,690 --> 00:16:34,225
but somebody's
got to run the stall.
354
00:16:34,227 --> 00:16:36,294
I got to get some ice.
355
00:16:40,767 --> 00:16:43,334
LOGAN:
You think she called randy
356
00:16:43,336 --> 00:16:46,304
to make herself feel better?
357
00:16:46,306 --> 00:16:49,307
To make sure
he got the time right.
358
00:16:49,309 --> 00:16:50,742
Did you notice
359
00:16:50,744 --> 00:16:54,212
that he wasn't exactly
an aerospace engineer?
360
00:16:54,214 --> 00:16:57,215
I also noticed
he's not her favorite son.
361
00:16:57,217 --> 00:16:59,417
Well, if she lied, he lied.
362
00:16:59,419 --> 00:17:03,154
If he's lying,
where did they go
363
00:17:03,156 --> 00:17:05,023
after he picked her up?
364
00:17:05,025 --> 00:17:07,025
She didn't go home.
365
00:17:07,027 --> 00:17:09,293
He didn't shoot hoops.
366
00:17:09,295 --> 00:17:11,696
You're praying
at the right church.
367
00:17:11,698 --> 00:17:14,032
You going
to read that to us
368
00:17:14,034 --> 00:17:16,034
or fan us with it?
369
00:17:16,036 --> 00:17:17,235
"Borland, Ronald
370
00:17:17,237 --> 00:17:18,803
"296 South Street
371
00:17:18,805 --> 00:17:21,806
D.B.A.
R. Borland & son, Fresh Fish."
372
00:17:21,808 --> 00:17:24,809
Carry permit:
.380 Tanfoglio titan.
373
00:17:24,811 --> 00:17:28,312
Seems to me it's the gun
I said it would be.
374
00:17:28,314 --> 00:17:30,214
Let's get a warrant.
375
00:17:30,216 --> 00:17:32,316
What do you mean
he said no?
376
00:17:32,318 --> 00:17:34,519
You want me
to try Portuguese?
377
00:17:34,521 --> 00:17:37,355
He said you cannot have
a search warrant.
378
00:17:37,357 --> 00:17:40,091
Since when is Judge Feinstein
so picky?
379
00:17:40,093 --> 00:17:42,393
Since he got a clerk
who knows about guns.
380
00:17:42,395 --> 00:17:44,362
He said a Tanfoglio
is too common.
381
00:17:44,364 --> 00:17:47,131
Just because Borland has one
doesn't give probable cause.
382
00:17:47,133 --> 00:17:49,267
Big bunch of crap.
383
00:17:49,269 --> 00:17:51,536
You want some probable cause?
384
00:17:51,538 --> 00:17:54,138
Try breaking some alibis.
385
00:17:54,140 --> 00:17:56,608
Okay.
386
00:17:56,609 --> 00:17:59,077
You think marian borland
punches a time clock at work?
387
00:17:59,079 --> 00:18:00,244
Randy went to the "Y."
388
00:18:00,246 --> 00:18:02,180
Basketball buddies notice
389
00:18:02,182 --> 00:18:04,182
when you're
holding up a game.
390
00:18:04,184 --> 00:18:05,316
Good, that's very good.
391
00:18:05,318 --> 00:18:07,452
And next time you need a warrant
392
00:18:07,454 --> 00:18:09,454
don't go to Judge Feinstein.
393
00:18:09,456 --> 00:18:11,856
WOMAN:
Everything is computers now.
394
00:18:11,858 --> 00:18:14,225
So you don't
have the records?
395
00:18:14,227 --> 00:18:16,327
I'm looking,
I'm looking.
396
00:18:16,329 --> 00:18:18,329
Maybe I have
her time card.
397
00:18:18,331 --> 00:18:20,331
They come back
from the service.
398
00:18:20,333 --> 00:18:22,300
Sometimes I remember
to save them.
399
00:18:22,302 --> 00:18:25,303
Looks like you have cards
from World War II.
400
00:18:25,305 --> 00:18:28,339
All I hear is,
"They shortchanged me.
401
00:18:28,341 --> 00:18:30,875
I lost an hour.
They cheated me."
402
00:18:30,877 --> 00:18:32,343
No, not here.
403
00:18:32,345 --> 00:18:33,444
Sorry.
404
00:18:33,446 --> 00:18:35,446
I must have dumped them.
405
00:18:35,448 --> 00:18:38,349
Marvin, I can't find it.
406
00:18:38,351 --> 00:18:41,352
My payroll man
doesn't have it either.
407
00:18:41,354 --> 00:18:43,387
Yeah. Mm-hmm.
408
00:18:43,389 --> 00:18:45,389
She clocked out at 2:30.
409
00:18:45,391 --> 00:18:47,291
He won't swear by it.
410
00:18:47,293 --> 00:18:50,294
He could have entered it
wrong off the card.
411
00:18:50,296 --> 00:18:52,196
2:30?
She said 3:30.
412
00:18:52,198 --> 00:18:55,233
If she entered it wrong,
she would have complained.
413
00:18:55,235 --> 00:18:56,801
Missing pay, right?
414
00:18:56,803 --> 00:18:58,836
She don't have
the check yet.
415
00:18:58,838 --> 00:19:00,171
Thanks, Marvin.
416
00:19:00,173 --> 00:19:01,272
Later.
417
00:19:01,274 --> 00:19:03,441
Don't tell her
we were here.
418
00:19:03,443 --> 00:19:04,609
You're cops.
419
00:19:04,611 --> 00:19:08,646
Now if you were I.R.S.,
I might tell her.
420
00:19:10,383 --> 00:19:11,582
Thursdays, 4:00.
421
00:19:11,584 --> 00:19:14,218
It's a great time for Randy.
422
00:19:14,220 --> 00:19:15,453
He works the graveyard shift.
423
00:19:15,455 --> 00:19:18,890
So last week
he was here at 4:00.
424
00:19:18,892 --> 00:19:20,358
Always on time.
425
00:19:20,360 --> 00:19:22,260
Got the court for an hour.
426
00:19:22,262 --> 00:19:24,896
You know randy
pretty well?
427
00:19:24,898 --> 00:19:26,330
High school.
428
00:19:26,332 --> 00:19:28,599
You talk to him today?
429
00:19:28,601 --> 00:19:31,402
No. Why?
430
00:19:31,404 --> 00:19:34,338
Well, I'm asking you
questions about him
431
00:19:34,340 --> 00:19:37,275
but you're not asking
what it's about.
432
00:19:37,277 --> 00:19:39,343
Locker room
sign-in sheet.
433
00:19:39,345 --> 00:19:41,345
Rand signed in at 3:51.
434
00:19:41,347 --> 00:19:44,482
Like I said,
we play at 4:00.
435
00:19:46,286 --> 00:19:48,452
The computer
at the payroll service--
436
00:19:48,454 --> 00:19:51,322
not a lot of probable cause.
437
00:19:51,324 --> 00:19:52,456
We got to try.
438
00:19:52,458 --> 00:19:54,659
This time we try
Judge Allan Berg.
439
00:19:54,661 --> 00:19:57,395
Spell it with two L's
and two A's
440
00:19:57,397 --> 00:20:00,464
or we're never
going to get a warrant.
441
00:20:00,466 --> 00:20:03,434
We want the business,
296 South Street
442
00:20:03,436 --> 00:20:09,307
and the apartment,
which is 573 East 30th Street.
443
00:20:09,309 --> 00:20:11,509
( phone ringing )
444
00:20:13,413 --> 00:20:15,413
Detective Logan.
445
00:20:15,415 --> 00:20:17,615
Yeah.
446
00:20:17,617 --> 00:20:20,351
Uh-huh.
447
00:20:20,353 --> 00:20:22,620
Uh, can you wait a minute?
448
00:20:22,622 --> 00:20:25,623
I'm going to put you on hold.
449
00:20:25,625 --> 00:20:27,291
Don't go away.
450
00:20:30,496 --> 00:20:31,929
Where is it?
451
00:20:31,931 --> 00:20:32,930
Where is it?!
452
00:20:32,932 --> 00:20:34,332
What?
453
00:20:34,334 --> 00:20:37,268
Got a tip
on the Chong shooting.
454
00:20:39,572 --> 00:20:41,272
Ah, come on.
455
00:20:41,274 --> 00:20:43,307
Okay, somebody give me
a tape recorder.
456
00:20:43,309 --> 00:20:44,375
Batteries,
something!
457
00:20:44,377 --> 00:20:46,310
Get him back on the line.
458
00:20:46,312 --> 00:20:49,247
One, two, three.
459
00:20:49,249 --> 00:20:50,348
Yeah.
460
00:20:50,350 --> 00:20:52,583
Here you go, Logan.
461
00:20:52,585 --> 00:20:56,354
No, I'm not going
to put you on hold.
462
00:20:56,356 --> 00:20:58,322
Yeah, I'm listening.
463
00:20:58,324 --> 00:21:02,360
Well, I'd love to know.
464
00:21:02,362 --> 00:21:03,661
Uh-huh.
465
00:21:03,663 --> 00:21:09,667
Well, how do I know
you're on the up-and-up?
466
00:21:09,669 --> 00:21:11,402
Mm-hmm.
467
00:21:11,404 --> 00:21:14,572
You know what the address is?
468
00:21:16,676 --> 00:21:18,376
Mm-hmm.
469
00:21:18,378 --> 00:21:22,013
What kind of gun
am I going to find there?
470
00:21:24,050 --> 00:21:27,451
Hello? Hello! Hello!
471
00:21:29,555 --> 00:21:33,457
.380, that's the same caliber.
472
00:21:33,459 --> 00:21:35,993
That voice ring a bell?
473
00:21:37,363 --> 00:21:38,996
Me neither.
474
00:21:38,998 --> 00:21:42,016
Any bets?
475
00:21:42,017 --> 00:21:45,035
Friend, maybe somebody
who works at that fish market.
476
00:21:45,038 --> 00:21:48,039
What do you want to do?
477
00:21:48,041 --> 00:21:50,041
Address, caliber of gun--
478
00:21:50,043 --> 00:21:52,576
sounds reliable
and credible to me.
479
00:21:52,578 --> 00:21:55,079
Probable cause?
480
00:21:55,081 --> 00:21:57,448
If Judge Berg thinks it is.
481
00:22:03,756 --> 00:22:06,090
I should call my dad.
482
00:22:06,092 --> 00:22:09,627
If you want to do that,
I think you should.
483
00:22:15,702 --> 00:22:18,102
You have a key for this?
484
00:22:18,104 --> 00:22:21,105
Son, I'm going to have
to break into it.
485
00:22:21,107 --> 00:22:22,440
Okay.
486
00:22:22,442 --> 00:22:25,376
There was nothing
in the kitchen.
487
00:22:28,715 --> 00:22:31,716
Carl, you sure
you haven't seen a gun
488
00:22:31,718 --> 00:22:33,584
lying around the house?
489
00:22:33,586 --> 00:22:35,853
My dad keeps it
in the office.
490
00:22:35,855 --> 00:22:38,656
I think I've got
prints on this.
491
00:22:40,727 --> 00:22:42,793
That's my mom's good china.
492
00:22:42,795 --> 00:22:44,362
That's okay.
493
00:22:45,031 --> 00:22:47,098
Nothing in here.
494
00:22:49,369 --> 00:22:51,102
Mike.
495
00:22:55,375 --> 00:22:57,441
Bingo.
496
00:22:59,579 --> 00:23:01,512
( gunshot )
497
00:23:04,083 --> 00:23:06,417
The Italians make nice guns.
498
00:23:06,419 --> 00:23:09,687
It would be nicer
if it's the right gun.
499
00:23:09,689 --> 00:23:13,157
It would be nicer
if it were a clean match.
500
00:23:17,830 --> 00:23:20,431
R-7 twist.
501
00:23:20,433 --> 00:23:23,100
I wouldn't say this is close.
502
00:23:23,102 --> 00:23:25,603
I'd say exact.
503
00:23:27,673 --> 00:23:30,674
Yes, mama.
504
00:23:30,676 --> 00:23:32,410
Very nice.
505
00:23:32,412 --> 00:23:35,146
No question--
this gun killed Tim Chong.
506
00:23:35,148 --> 00:23:37,882
One set of prints on the gun.
507
00:23:37,884 --> 00:23:39,183
A good match
508
00:23:39,185 --> 00:23:42,186
to Ron Borland
from when he got his permit.
509
00:23:42,188 --> 00:23:44,889
His gun, his prints--
that's a problem?
510
00:23:44,891 --> 00:23:48,192
Considering he walked in here
an hour after the killing
511
00:23:48,194 --> 00:23:49,660
and didn't even blink?
512
00:23:49,662 --> 00:23:52,897
Why are the mother
and son fixing alibis?
513
00:23:52,899 --> 00:23:54,532
I thought Randy's held?
514
00:23:54,534 --> 00:23:55,666
Not anymore.
515
00:23:55,668 --> 00:23:57,935
Sign-in sheet from the "Y."
516
00:23:57,937 --> 00:23:59,670
Infrared scan.
517
00:23:59,672 --> 00:24:00,938
His pal fixed it.
518
00:24:00,940 --> 00:24:02,940
Unless you believe
in elves.
519
00:24:02,942 --> 00:24:06,710
You think the whole
Borland family killed the kid?
520
00:24:06,712 --> 00:24:10,214
Nothing puts the mother
and Randy at the scene
521
00:24:10,216 --> 00:24:12,650
but we do have the gun.
522
00:24:12,652 --> 00:24:14,585
We arrest Ron Borland
523
00:24:14,587 --> 00:24:16,587
maybe something breaks.
524
00:24:16,589 --> 00:24:18,722
Pick him up.
525
00:24:22,929 --> 00:24:24,662
Mr. Borland...
526
00:24:24,664 --> 00:24:27,665
I think you've bothered
my family enough.
527
00:24:27,667 --> 00:24:30,668
Ronald Borland,
you're under arrest
528
00:24:30,670 --> 00:24:33,237
for the murder
of Timothy Chong.
529
00:24:33,239 --> 00:24:34,972
Dad?
530
00:24:34,974 --> 00:24:37,808
Go call your mother.
531
00:24:37,810 --> 00:24:40,878
...used against you
in a court of law.
532
00:24:45,651 --> 00:24:47,518
I got to my store at 2:00.
533
00:24:47,520 --> 00:24:49,019
I didn't leave till Carl called.
534
00:24:49,021 --> 00:24:51,121
But your gun managed
to kill Timothy Chong.
535
00:24:51,123 --> 00:24:53,023
You fellows have, what--
536
00:24:53,025 --> 00:24:56,026
three open gang shootings?
537
00:24:56,028 --> 00:24:58,662
Maybe your lab got a little help
538
00:24:58,664 --> 00:25:00,898
with that bullet.
539
00:25:00,900 --> 00:25:02,600
I wouldn't try that
540
00:25:02,602 --> 00:25:03,634
with a jury.
541
00:25:03,636 --> 00:25:05,936
Why not?
Juries always trust cops?
542
00:25:05,938 --> 00:25:08,105
So, nobody saw you
at your store?
543
00:25:08,107 --> 00:25:10,808
I was there for Carl's call.
544
00:25:10,810 --> 00:25:12,610
An hour after the killing.
545
00:25:12,612 --> 00:25:14,078
40 minutes
546
00:25:14,080 --> 00:25:15,646
the way
I heard it.
547
00:25:15,648 --> 00:25:17,781
Your wife and Randy join you
in the shooting?
548
00:25:17,783 --> 00:25:18,916
Finito, gentlemen.
549
00:25:18,918 --> 00:25:21,185
If you're booking him,
let's do it.
550
00:25:23,723 --> 00:25:25,990
STONE:
Why? I mean...
551
00:25:25,992 --> 00:25:27,191
it makes no sense.
552
00:25:27,193 --> 00:25:30,127
I was back barely two hours,
Willis called.
553
00:25:30,129 --> 00:25:32,346
He'll take man two.
554
00:25:32,347 --> 00:25:34,564
We haven't even started
interviewing witnesses.
555
00:25:34,567 --> 00:25:36,166
Borland's prints are on the gun
556
00:25:36,168 --> 00:25:38,168
but Cerreto and Logan
are right--
557
00:25:38,170 --> 00:25:39,870
everything else
points away from him.
558
00:25:39,872 --> 00:25:41,939
( phone ringing )
559
00:25:43,876 --> 00:25:45,109
Yeah?
560
00:25:45,111 --> 00:25:47,044
Uh-huh.
561
00:25:47,046 --> 00:25:49,046
Attributed?
562
00:25:49,048 --> 00:25:51,599
Thanks.
563
00:25:51,600 --> 00:25:54,151
Tomorrow's Post says
we're negotiating a plea.
564
00:25:54,153 --> 00:25:55,953
No attribution.
565
00:25:55,954 --> 00:25:57,754
Willis dragging us
to the altar.
566
00:25:57,757 --> 00:25:59,790
I don't like shotgun weddings.
567
00:25:59,792 --> 00:26:01,825
I want to know what happened.
568
00:26:01,827 --> 00:26:03,961
So put a vise around that family
569
00:26:03,963 --> 00:26:06,630
and I don't care
how hard you squeeze.
570
00:26:06,632 --> 00:26:08,899
( bell ringing )
571
00:26:21,814 --> 00:26:24,715
I'm glad I don't have your job.
572
00:26:31,190 --> 00:26:33,924
I don't have
to talk to you.
573
00:26:33,926 --> 00:26:36,126
Did you hear them
plan it, Carl?
574
00:26:36,128 --> 00:26:37,928
I didn't know about it.
575
00:26:37,930 --> 00:26:40,798
I mean... that's not
the way it happened.
576
00:26:40,800 --> 00:26:42,733
Did your mom
go with your dad
577
00:26:42,735 --> 00:26:44,935
or just provoke him
into doing it?
578
00:26:44,937 --> 00:26:46,870
My parents
are good people.
579
00:26:46,872 --> 00:26:49,039
They only want
what's best for me.
580
00:26:49,041 --> 00:26:50,941
Killing someone?
581
00:26:50,943 --> 00:26:53,811
Is that how
you get the best?
582
00:26:53,813 --> 00:26:57,081
How did your dad know
where Tim would be?
583
00:26:57,083 --> 00:26:59,650
I'm not going to talk
to you anymore.
584
00:26:59,652 --> 00:27:02,920
Do you know what accessory
to murder means, Carl?
585
00:27:02,922 --> 00:27:04,888
My father didn't
kill anyone.
586
00:27:04,890 --> 00:27:06,056
His fingerprints
were on the gun.
587
00:27:06,058 --> 00:27:07,891
You don't know anything.
588
00:27:07,893 --> 00:27:10,728
You don't know
what you're talking about.
589
00:27:13,032 --> 00:27:15,799
Even Carl knows
his father didn't do it.
590
00:27:15,801 --> 00:27:17,835
How do you explain
the prints?
591
00:27:17,837 --> 00:27:19,837
Ben, what are you
trying to pull?
592
00:27:19,839 --> 00:27:21,238
Why are you talking to Carl?
593
00:27:21,240 --> 00:27:22,773
Leave my son alone.
594
00:27:22,775 --> 00:27:23,907
He's a witness.
595
00:27:23,909 --> 00:27:24,675
He's a kid!
596
00:27:24,677 --> 00:27:25,843
Get a headline.
597
00:27:25,845 --> 00:27:27,177
Make us look bad.
598
00:27:27,179 --> 00:27:29,913
Get them to leave him alone!
599
00:27:29,915 --> 00:27:32,049
If you'd like to sit down...
600
00:27:32,051 --> 00:27:35,019
My son's life is at stake here.
601
00:27:35,021 --> 00:27:37,054
I thought it was your husband's.
602
00:27:38,124 --> 00:27:40,257
There's a lot at stake here.
603
00:27:41,694 --> 00:27:44,094
WILLIS:
Let's go, Marian.
604
00:27:44,096 --> 00:27:48,198
Next time you want to see Carl,
do me a favor-- call first.
605
00:27:50,302 --> 00:27:52,136
The family is certifiable.
606
00:27:52,138 --> 00:27:53,904
Unlike everybody else.
607
00:27:53,906 --> 00:27:55,305
Who made that phone call?
608
00:27:55,307 --> 00:27:59,176
Obviously, you don't think
it was an angry employee.
609
00:27:59,178 --> 00:28:01,211
What if Ron Borland made it?
610
00:28:01,213 --> 00:28:03,247
Borland gets back
with Carl.
611
00:28:03,249 --> 00:28:07,818
He sees his wife and Randy
and he knows they did it.
612
00:28:07,820 --> 00:28:10,320
They're the ones
faking the alibis.
613
00:28:10,322 --> 00:28:12,990
Why didn't Borland
throw the gun away?
614
00:28:12,992 --> 00:28:14,992
Cerreta and Logan
are onto them
615
00:28:14,994 --> 00:28:16,894
so he does something heroic.
616
00:28:16,896 --> 00:28:20,264
Randy belongs to him the way
Carl belongs to his mother.
617
00:28:20,266 --> 00:28:22,900
So he wipes their prints
off the gun
618
00:28:22,902 --> 00:28:25,135
puts his own on,
takes the fall.
619
00:28:25,137 --> 00:28:28,338
You want to arrest the mother
and the older son
620
00:28:28,340 --> 00:28:33,110
and right now you wouldn't get
a conviction for bad thoughts.
621
00:28:33,112 --> 00:28:34,845
I have motive and the gun.
622
00:28:34,847 --> 00:28:38,148
If it's not suppressed because
of a questionable warrant.
623
00:28:38,150 --> 00:28:40,751
I can tell the jury about it.
624
00:28:40,753 --> 00:28:42,152
You won't get a conviction.
625
00:28:42,154 --> 00:28:44,922
If we don't arraign,
I can't even try.
626
00:28:46,859 --> 00:28:49,827
Fine. Try.
627
00:28:49,829 --> 00:28:52,396
Mr. Robinette,
can we have a statement?
628
00:28:52,398 --> 00:28:54,364
You trying this
in the press?
629
00:28:54,366 --> 00:28:56,133
According to public opinion
630
00:28:56,135 --> 00:28:58,769
my clients are
the salt of the earth.
631
00:28:58,771 --> 00:29:00,003
So was the victim.
632
00:29:00,005 --> 00:29:01,405
Ginseng maybe,
not salt.
633
00:29:01,407 --> 00:29:04,208
You having a bad week,
Leonard?
634
00:29:04,210 --> 00:29:06,744
Docket #51423
635
00:29:06,745 --> 00:29:09,279
the People v. Marian Borland
and Randall Borland.
636
00:29:09,281 --> 00:29:11,949
The charge is
murder in the se...
637
00:29:11,951 --> 00:29:15,185
Didn't I already see
this case on my docket?
638
00:29:15,187 --> 00:29:17,020
Charges against
a previous defendant
639
00:29:17,022 --> 00:29:18,188
were dismissed, Your Honor.
640
00:29:18,190 --> 00:29:20,390
The people regret their error.
641
00:29:20,392 --> 00:29:22,159
We're talking about murder.
642
00:29:22,161 --> 00:29:25,162
You ought to publish an apology
in the Times.
643
00:29:25,164 --> 00:29:28,098
How do the defendants
plead?
644
00:29:28,100 --> 00:29:29,166
Not guilty.
645
00:29:29,168 --> 00:29:30,400
Not guilty.
646
00:29:30,402 --> 00:29:32,302
I'll hear a few
spirited words
647
00:29:32,304 --> 00:29:33,971
on the subject of bail.
648
00:29:33,973 --> 00:29:35,906
Leonard, it's nice to see you.
649
00:29:35,908 --> 00:29:37,107
Thank you, Judge.
650
00:29:37,109 --> 00:29:39,309
My clients are not
a flight risk.
651
00:29:39,311 --> 00:29:42,079
Any high bail
would be a hardship.
652
00:29:42,081 --> 00:29:43,046
Mr. Robinette?
653
00:29:43,048 --> 00:29:44,348
The people request
654
00:29:44,350 --> 00:29:46,917
$50,000 on each defendant.
655
00:29:46,919 --> 00:29:49,119
The severity of the crime...
656
00:29:49,121 --> 00:29:50,120
Go no further.
657
00:29:50,122 --> 00:29:52,322
When you're right, you're right.
658
00:29:52,324 --> 00:29:54,291
This is
murder two.
659
00:29:54,293 --> 00:29:56,360
$50,000 each defendant.
660
00:29:56,362 --> 00:29:58,279
Next.
661
00:29:58,280 --> 00:30:00,197
You don't even know
who fired the gun.
662
00:30:00,199 --> 00:30:02,199
STONE:
Why don't
you tell me.
663
00:30:02,201 --> 00:30:03,367
Manslaughter two.
664
00:30:03,369 --> 00:30:06,069
They do the minimum, two to six.
665
00:30:06,071 --> 00:30:09,106
Why not 30 days
with time off for good behavior?
666
00:30:09,108 --> 00:30:11,942
Man one, they do the max,
eight to 25.
667
00:30:11,944 --> 00:30:13,377
You're hitting an elephant
with a fly swatter.
668
00:30:13,379 --> 00:30:15,012
You don't have a murder weapon.
669
00:30:15,014 --> 00:30:17,347
Has there been a ruling?
670
00:30:17,349 --> 00:30:21,084
The search warrant
should never have been issued.
671
00:30:21,086 --> 00:30:23,887
No jury ever hears
about that gun.
672
00:30:23,889 --> 00:30:25,122
Cancel the bravado.
673
00:30:25,124 --> 00:30:27,024
My career's built on it.
674
00:30:27,026 --> 00:30:28,192
The warrant was proper.
675
00:30:28,194 --> 00:30:30,394
An anonymous phone call
was probable cause?
676
00:30:30,396 --> 00:30:32,429
I don't think so.
677
00:30:32,431 --> 00:30:35,165
You knew Ron Borland
never fired that gun.
678
00:30:35,167 --> 00:30:37,868
And you know if I
discuss that with you
679
00:30:37,870 --> 00:30:39,203
I could be disbarred.
680
00:30:39,205 --> 00:30:41,104
Manslaughter two.
Last chance.
681
00:30:41,106 --> 00:30:43,874
You lose on the warrant,
no deal.
682
00:30:43,876 --> 00:30:45,943
See you in chambers.
683
00:30:49,148 --> 00:30:52,249
Man two? They put
three bullets into that kid.
684
00:30:52,251 --> 00:30:54,418
Willis is offering you a gift.
685
00:30:54,420 --> 00:30:58,956
The judge suppresses that gun,
you don't get a conviction.
686
00:30:58,958 --> 00:31:01,391
A similar warrant stood
in Ashton.
687
00:31:01,393 --> 00:31:03,227
They killed it in Johnson.
688
00:31:03,229 --> 00:31:05,128
That was two years ago.
689
00:31:05,130 --> 00:31:06,463
Ashton was last year.
690
00:31:06,465 --> 00:31:09,433
I don't want
to be overturned on appeal.
691
00:31:09,435 --> 00:31:11,034
Are you worried about
692
00:31:11,036 --> 00:31:13,086
our closure rate?
693
00:31:13,087 --> 00:31:15,137
I'm worried about them
not serving a day.
694
00:31:15,140 --> 00:31:16,440
They kill
over a prize
695
00:31:16,442 --> 00:31:19,176
maybe they'll get angry
at the mayor.
696
00:31:19,178 --> 00:31:21,144
There's no way
Simon suppresses the gun.
697
00:31:21,146 --> 00:31:25,148
Simon thinks that the A.C.L.U.
is too conservative.
698
00:31:25,150 --> 00:31:26,316
When's the hearing?
699
00:31:26,318 --> 00:31:27,918
Tomorrow.
700
00:31:27,920 --> 00:31:31,488
You lose on the gun,
you lose the case.
701
00:31:37,129 --> 00:31:41,164
WILLIS:
That search warrant
has no basis in probable cause.
702
00:31:41,166 --> 00:31:45,302
Your Honor, the informant not
only knew the caliber of the gun
703
00:31:45,304 --> 00:31:47,170
he knew where to find it.
704
00:31:47,172 --> 00:31:49,172
This was
an anonymous phone call.
705
00:31:49,174 --> 00:31:51,308
Well, let's look
at the standard.
706
00:31:51,310 --> 00:31:55,112
Anguilar-Spinelli calls
for a specific two-pronged test:
707
00:31:55,114 --> 00:31:59,383
the informant's reliability
and the basis of his knowledge.
708
00:31:59,385 --> 00:32:03,086
Now, Ben, how reliable
was that tip? A .380?
709
00:32:03,088 --> 00:32:05,956
Lots of people probably
knew Borland had one.
710
00:32:05,958 --> 00:32:08,558
The address you could
get from the phone book.
711
00:32:08,560 --> 00:32:10,294
The Supreme Court is adopting
712
00:32:10,296 --> 00:32:13,196
a less rigorous standard
for search warrants.
713
00:32:13,198 --> 00:32:16,166
They forgot why we have
the fourth amendment.
714
00:32:16,168 --> 00:32:19,569
Here in New York, thank God,
we have a stricter standard.
715
00:32:19,571 --> 00:32:23,473
The Court of Appeals is moving
with the Supreme Court.
716
00:32:23,475 --> 00:32:26,443
That permit was
for the Borland business.
717
00:32:26,445 --> 00:32:29,146
The warrant was
for the Borland home.
718
00:32:29,148 --> 00:32:31,348
Any idiot can see
719
00:32:31,349 --> 00:32:33,549
that the cops were relying
on the phone call.
720
00:32:33,552 --> 00:32:35,585
I'm not even an idiot.
721
00:32:35,587 --> 00:32:36,586
I can see it.
722
00:32:36,588 --> 00:32:38,322
I respectfully suggest...
723
00:32:38,324 --> 00:32:41,091
you can respectfully suggest
till New Year.
724
00:32:41,093 --> 00:32:43,226
The warrant is ruled invalid.
725
00:32:43,228 --> 00:32:44,461
The gun is suppressed.
726
00:32:44,463 --> 00:32:46,997
None of it goes
into evidence.
727
00:32:46,999 --> 00:32:52,035
You want to go to trial, Ben,
you go without the gun.
728
00:32:54,506 --> 00:32:56,707
When Randy Borland called,
what did he say?
729
00:32:56,709 --> 00:33:01,078
He said the police thought
he had something to do
730
00:33:01,080 --> 00:33:02,679
with this kid's murder.
731
00:33:02,681 --> 00:33:05,515
They wanted to know
what time he came to play
732
00:33:05,517 --> 00:33:08,385
and I said I'd say
whatever he wanted me to.
733
00:33:08,387 --> 00:33:10,120
What else did he
ask you to do?
734
00:33:10,122 --> 00:33:12,389
He said could I fix
the sign-in sheet.
735
00:33:12,391 --> 00:33:14,458
How do you do that?
736
00:33:14,460 --> 00:33:16,393
I can get behind the desk.
737
00:33:16,395 --> 00:33:19,329
I work part-time
checking membership cards
738
00:33:19,331 --> 00:33:23,700
and I knew some people
that signed in pencil.
739
00:33:23,702 --> 00:33:26,503
This is people's exhibit #11.
740
00:33:26,505 --> 00:33:28,505
It's an enlargement
741
00:33:28,507 --> 00:33:30,640
of the sign-in sheet
for that day
742
00:33:30,642 --> 00:33:32,709
subjected to infrared light.
743
00:33:32,711 --> 00:33:35,746
Would you please describe it
for the court?
744
00:33:35,748 --> 00:33:40,417
Randy's name is signed
over Larry Gordon's.
745
00:33:40,419 --> 00:33:41,685
I...
746
00:33:41,687 --> 00:33:45,022
I erased Larry's.
747
00:33:45,024 --> 00:33:49,026
Down here, Larry's name
is written over Randy's.
748
00:33:49,028 --> 00:33:50,794
So you changed the names?
749
00:33:50,796 --> 00:33:53,430
Yes, I did.
750
00:33:53,432 --> 00:33:55,165
What effect
did that have?
751
00:33:55,167 --> 00:33:57,434
It makes it look like
Randy got there
752
00:33:57,436 --> 00:33:58,668
an hour before he did.
753
00:33:58,670 --> 00:34:00,537
STONE:
No further questions.
754
00:34:00,539 --> 00:34:03,373
Your Honor, permission
to show this to the jury?
755
00:34:03,375 --> 00:34:05,642
JUDGE:
You may do so.
756
00:34:09,381 --> 00:34:12,582
I was given three shell casings
and three bullets
757
00:34:12,584 --> 00:34:15,052
removed from
Timothy Chong's body.
758
00:34:15,054 --> 00:34:17,054
What type of gun was used?
759
00:34:17,056 --> 00:34:19,523
Based on the grooves
on the bullets
760
00:34:19,525 --> 00:34:21,558
and the ejector marks
on the casings
761
00:34:21,560 --> 00:34:22,793
I concluded it was
762
00:34:22,795 --> 00:34:25,595
a .380 Tanfoglio titan
semi-automatic.
763
00:34:25,597 --> 00:34:27,431
During your investigation
764
00:34:27,433 --> 00:34:30,200
did you determine
whether Mr. Borland
765
00:34:30,202 --> 00:34:32,135
was licensed to carry a firearm?
766
00:34:32,137 --> 00:34:32,736
I did.
767
00:34:32,738 --> 00:34:34,104
What did you find?
768
00:34:34,106 --> 00:34:36,757
Mr. Borland
is licensed
769
00:34:36,758 --> 00:34:39,409
to carry a .380 Tanfoglio titan
semi-automatic.
770
00:34:39,411 --> 00:34:40,677
No further questions.
771
00:34:40,679 --> 00:34:43,413
How many licenses
has the state issued
772
00:34:43,415 --> 00:34:45,582
for Tanfoglio titan .380?
773
00:34:45,584 --> 00:34:47,084
I couldn't say exactly.
774
00:34:47,086 --> 00:34:49,619
If I told you it was more
than a thousand
775
00:34:49,621 --> 00:34:51,488
would you find that a surprise?
776
00:34:51,490 --> 00:34:53,090
I'm sure it's more than that.
777
00:34:53,092 --> 00:34:55,158
If I told you
the actual number
778
00:34:55,160 --> 00:34:58,128
was 2,941,
would that surprise you?
779
00:34:58,130 --> 00:35:00,097
No, it wouldn't.
780
00:35:00,099 --> 00:35:01,198
I'm glad.
781
00:35:01,200 --> 00:35:02,799
In your expert opinion
782
00:35:02,801 --> 00:35:04,434
could another gun
783
00:35:04,436 --> 00:35:07,504
have left the kind of markings
that you found?
784
00:35:07,506 --> 00:35:08,505
Very unlikely.
785
00:35:08,507 --> 00:35:09,840
Oh, so you are saying
786
00:35:09,842 --> 00:35:12,576
it could have been
another kind of gun?
787
00:35:12,578 --> 00:35:15,779
Excuse me, I concluded
that the gun was a Tanfoglio
788
00:35:15,781 --> 00:35:18,215
before I knew
Mr. Borland owned one.
789
00:35:18,217 --> 00:35:20,817
That's very cavalier of you.
790
00:35:20,819 --> 00:35:21,818
Thank you.
791
00:35:21,820 --> 00:35:24,454
No further questions.
792
00:35:24,456 --> 00:35:26,123
JUDGE:
I instruct the jury
793
00:35:26,125 --> 00:35:27,891
they may draw no conclusion
794
00:35:27,893 --> 00:35:29,526
from the fact that a weapon
795
00:35:29,528 --> 00:35:31,795
has not been entered
into evidence
796
00:35:31,797 --> 00:35:34,264
in this trial.
797
00:35:34,266 --> 00:35:35,632
Cloudy, muddy, murky.
798
00:35:35,634 --> 00:35:37,801
That jury
has enough reasonable doubt
799
00:35:37,803 --> 00:35:39,136
to bottle it solid.
800
00:35:39,138 --> 00:35:41,204
You can hear Willis
in summation--
801
00:35:41,206 --> 00:35:43,807
"The defendants lied
because they were scared.
802
00:35:43,809 --> 00:35:46,443
Yes, they own a gun,
but did they use it?"
803
00:35:46,445 --> 00:35:49,179
Marian Borland--
what did she tell the cops?
804
00:35:49,181 --> 00:35:50,714
"The kids were competitive.
805
00:35:50,716 --> 00:35:51,848
It was unhealthy."
806
00:35:51,850 --> 00:35:54,217
The only unhealthy competition
was hers--
807
00:35:54,219 --> 00:35:55,552
for her son's glory.
808
00:35:55,554 --> 00:35:57,521
You prosecuting or preaching?
809
00:35:57,523 --> 00:35:59,756
She pulled the trigger--
not physically...
810
00:35:59,758 --> 00:36:01,224
Oh. Metaphysically.
811
00:36:01,226 --> 00:36:03,927
She harped about
the Chong kid every day.
812
00:36:03,929 --> 00:36:05,562
Why did Randy kill him?
813
00:36:05,564 --> 00:36:07,898
You kick a dog long enough,
it bites.
814
00:36:07,900 --> 00:36:10,500
You want to try that
in your summation?
815
00:36:10,502 --> 00:36:12,702
Won't get you a conviction.
816
00:36:12,704 --> 00:36:14,271
It might get us a deal.
817
00:36:14,273 --> 00:36:16,773
Ron Borland was willing
to go to jail
818
00:36:16,775 --> 00:36:18,175
to save his son.
819
00:36:18,177 --> 00:36:19,209
Is he going
820
00:36:19,211 --> 00:36:20,510
to watch Randy
go now?
821
00:36:20,512 --> 00:36:22,646
You want him
to pressure his wife?
822
00:36:22,648 --> 00:36:23,713
I make the offer
823
00:36:23,715 --> 00:36:26,316
Randy does less time
than his mother
824
00:36:26,318 --> 00:36:28,585
he'll make his wife
take the deal.
825
00:36:28,587 --> 00:36:30,954
Giving the shooter
a better deal--
826
00:36:30,956 --> 00:36:32,489
is that what
you want?
827
00:36:32,491 --> 00:36:34,724
Uh-huh. I just don't know
if it will work.
828
00:36:34,726 --> 00:36:36,326
( phone rings )
829
00:36:37,930 --> 00:36:40,664
We're trying to arrive
at what's fair.
830
00:36:40,666 --> 00:36:43,300
I hope your clients
understand that.
831
00:36:43,302 --> 00:36:45,602
The sentences--
we have a problem.
832
00:36:45,604 --> 00:36:46,870
No, that's settled.
833
00:36:46,872 --> 00:36:49,206
Manslaughter two
for Mrs. Borland.
834
00:36:49,208 --> 00:36:50,740
She does two to six.
835
00:36:50,742 --> 00:36:53,343
Eight-and-a-third to 25.
No playing around.
836
00:36:53,345 --> 00:36:55,512
You said he'd be reasonable.
837
00:36:55,514 --> 00:36:56,880
Marian...
838
00:36:56,882 --> 00:36:58,782
It is unlikely
Mrs. Borland
839
00:36:58,784 --> 00:37:00,584
will be convicted.
840
00:37:00,586 --> 00:37:02,252
Finish the trial
and find out.
841
00:37:02,254 --> 00:37:03,753
You said a few years.
842
00:37:03,755 --> 00:37:04,888
You said parole.
843
00:37:04,890 --> 00:37:05,889
Be quiet, Marian.
844
00:37:05,891 --> 00:37:07,841
Mrs. Borland
845
00:37:07,842 --> 00:37:09,792
if you are convicted,
you will do 25 to life.
846
00:37:09,795 --> 00:37:11,628
We're offering much less.
847
00:37:11,630 --> 00:37:14,231
You said he wouldn't do this...
848
00:37:14,233 --> 00:37:15,298
Stop it.
849
00:37:16,835 --> 00:37:20,537
How long will Randy
be in prison?
850
00:37:20,539 --> 00:37:23,373
He pleads to man two,
he does three to nine.
851
00:37:23,375 --> 00:37:25,242
This isn't right.
852
00:37:25,244 --> 00:37:26,576
Mom...
853
00:37:26,578 --> 00:37:28,545
it's not going to help.
854
00:37:28,547 --> 00:37:30,947
Why don't we just go outside...
855
00:37:30,949 --> 00:37:32,282
Stop!
856
00:37:32,284 --> 00:37:34,918
He's 23.
857
00:37:34,920 --> 00:37:38,255
He has a chance for a life.
858
00:37:38,257 --> 00:37:39,689
Sit down.
859
00:37:39,691 --> 00:37:41,358
The trial isn't over.
860
00:37:41,360 --> 00:37:42,926
I don't see why...
861
00:37:42,928 --> 00:37:45,295
Because he's your son.
862
00:37:50,802 --> 00:37:53,270
I don't believe
we'll be convicted.
863
00:37:53,272 --> 00:37:54,971
I won't do this.
864
00:38:02,281 --> 00:38:04,614
STONE:
Do you remember, Miss Chong
865
00:38:04,616 --> 00:38:07,651
how many of these phone calls
occurred?
866
00:38:07,653 --> 00:38:12,055
Over the last six months,
nine or ten.
867
00:38:12,057 --> 00:38:14,891
What did Mrs. Borland say?
868
00:38:14,893 --> 00:38:17,927
She said Carl and Tim
shouldn't be friends
869
00:38:17,929 --> 00:38:20,330
that Tim was using Carl--
870
00:38:20,332 --> 00:38:22,599
using his brain.
871
00:38:22,601 --> 00:38:25,368
She called my brother...
872
00:38:27,072 --> 00:38:28,972
a chink.
873
00:38:30,976 --> 00:38:34,377
She said, "You chinks
aren't real Americans."
874
00:38:38,650 --> 00:38:42,719
And, uh,
what did Randy Borland say?
875
00:38:42,721 --> 00:38:49,459
He said... if Tim kept trying
to steal Carl's ideas...
876
00:38:52,964 --> 00:38:55,031
that he'd regret it.
877
00:38:57,969 --> 00:38:58,968
Thank you.
878
00:38:58,970 --> 00:39:01,705
No further questions.
879
00:39:01,707 --> 00:39:04,341
Now, Miss Chong, you said
880
00:39:04,343 --> 00:39:07,077
that the Borlands' calls
frightened you.
881
00:39:07,079 --> 00:39:09,012
Did you call the police?
882
00:39:11,116 --> 00:39:12,115
No.
883
00:39:12,117 --> 00:39:13,883
So, uh...
884
00:39:13,885 --> 00:39:15,785
how frightening were they?
885
00:39:15,787 --> 00:39:19,756
In our culture,
you don't call the police.
886
00:39:19,758 --> 00:39:22,992
Your family's friends--
are most of them Chinese?
887
00:39:22,994 --> 00:39:24,361
Objection. Relevance?
888
00:39:24,363 --> 00:39:26,730
The witness mentioned
her culture.
889
00:39:26,732 --> 00:39:27,864
Overruled.
890
00:39:27,866 --> 00:39:29,466
The witness will answer.
891
00:39:29,468 --> 00:39:31,935
Our closest friends are Chinese.
892
00:39:31,937 --> 00:39:34,704
Did you brother belong
to a Chinese gang?
893
00:39:34,706 --> 00:39:36,323
Your Honor...
894
00:39:36,324 --> 00:39:37,941
I'm allowing this, Mr. Stone.
895
00:39:37,943 --> 00:39:38,942
He quit.
896
00:39:38,944 --> 00:39:40,377
He wasn't really...
897
00:39:40,379 --> 00:39:43,079
And what was the name
of the gang?
898
00:39:44,816 --> 00:39:46,716
The White Tigers.
899
00:39:48,687 --> 00:39:50,453
This is defense exhibit #3.
900
00:39:50,455 --> 00:39:54,124
It's an article in last month's
Crosstown magazine.
901
00:39:54,126 --> 00:39:57,527
Would you please read
the circled portion aloud?
902
00:40:00,031 --> 00:40:02,599
"The White Tigers--
903
00:40:02,600 --> 00:40:05,168
"the most powerful
of the heroin-dealing gangs
904
00:40:05,170 --> 00:40:08,037
"or tongs,
are fighting a vicious turf war.
905
00:40:08,039 --> 00:40:11,040
"Two members
have been shot this year.
906
00:40:11,042 --> 00:40:14,077
No one thinks the war is over."
907
00:40:14,079 --> 00:40:15,478
Thank you.
908
00:40:15,480 --> 00:40:18,014
No further questions.
909
00:40:23,955 --> 00:40:25,922
You wouldn't vote
to convict?
910
00:40:25,924 --> 00:40:27,157
I'm not on the jury.
911
00:40:27,159 --> 00:40:28,792
But if you were?
912
00:40:28,794 --> 00:40:30,026
( phone buzzes )
913
00:40:30,028 --> 00:40:32,061
Yes?
914
00:40:32,063 --> 00:40:35,031
Mrs. Silver and her daughter
are out there.
915
00:40:35,033 --> 00:40:36,866
Send them in.
916
00:40:44,476 --> 00:40:47,043
My daughter has something
to tell you.
917
00:40:47,045 --> 00:40:48,545
Please, sit down.
918
00:40:54,152 --> 00:40:56,052
Go on, honey.
919
00:40:56,054 --> 00:40:58,988
I didn't want
to say anything.
920
00:40:58,990 --> 00:41:01,024
Carl is my friend.
921
00:41:01,026 --> 00:41:03,193
I like
his mom and dad.
922
00:41:03,195 --> 00:41:04,994
She feels guilty.
923
00:41:04,996 --> 00:41:08,765
She didn't know where
to put her loyalties.
924
00:41:08,767 --> 00:41:11,468
Katie...
925
00:41:11,470 --> 00:41:15,004
After the gunshots,
we were running.
926
00:41:15,006 --> 00:41:18,875
I must have looked
for just a second...
927
00:41:18,877 --> 00:41:21,144
I saw them.
928
00:41:21,146 --> 00:41:23,046
You saw who?
929
00:41:25,083 --> 00:41:28,051
Mrs. Borland...
930
00:41:28,053 --> 00:41:29,552
and Randy.
931
00:41:29,554 --> 00:41:31,788
You saw them on the street?
932
00:41:31,790 --> 00:41:34,023
In the truck.
933
00:41:34,025 --> 00:41:36,893
That truck must have been going
pretty fast.
934
00:41:36,895 --> 00:41:38,161
You sure it was them?
935
00:41:38,163 --> 00:41:39,829
I recognized it.
936
00:41:39,831 --> 00:41:43,099
It was the truck
from the fish business.
937
00:41:50,108 --> 00:41:53,843
LOGAN:
on the stand? to put this kid
938
00:41:53,845 --> 00:41:56,913
Yeah, we don't exclude evidence
that convicts.
939
00:41:56,915 --> 00:41:58,248
Why did she wait
so long?
940
00:41:58,250 --> 00:42:00,950
She and the Borland kid
are friends.
941
00:42:00,952 --> 00:42:03,052
She was torn apart.
942
00:42:03,053 --> 00:42:05,153
She didn't hold anything back
at the precinct.
943
00:42:05,156 --> 00:42:07,257
Are you saying
an 18-year-old kid lied?
944
00:42:07,259 --> 00:42:09,259
I'm saying she reads
the newspapers.
945
00:42:09,261 --> 00:42:11,928
They were saying
you'd need an act of god
946
00:42:11,930 --> 00:42:13,062
to convict the Borlands.
947
00:42:13,064 --> 00:42:15,164
You didn't see her
in our office.
948
00:42:15,166 --> 00:42:16,533
She's not
a good actress.
949
00:42:16,535 --> 00:42:17,567
She loved the kid.
950
00:42:17,569 --> 00:42:18,568
They killed him.
951
00:42:18,570 --> 00:42:20,069
How good
does she have to be?
952
00:42:20,071 --> 00:42:23,239
Without anything more specific,
I have to go
953
00:42:23,241 --> 00:42:25,141
with my instincts.
954
00:42:26,678 --> 00:42:28,678
Where were you
at the time?
955
00:42:28,680 --> 00:42:31,114
Carl and me--
we went around the corner
956
00:42:31,116 --> 00:42:32,649
after we heard the shots.
957
00:42:32,651 --> 00:42:34,551
And what did you see?
958
00:42:34,553 --> 00:42:39,222
It was sort of a flash--
this white truck
959
00:42:39,224 --> 00:42:42,625
and it had two people in it.
960
00:42:42,627 --> 00:42:46,062
Randy was behind the wheel
961
00:42:46,064 --> 00:42:49,198
and Mrs. Borland
was sitting next to him.
962
00:42:49,200 --> 00:42:51,334
They were coming towards me
963
00:42:51,336 --> 00:42:54,671
and I looked down
and I saw the license plate.
964
00:42:54,673 --> 00:42:56,105
I had seen it before
965
00:42:56,107 --> 00:42:59,576
when Carl's brother
had picked him up after school.
966
00:42:59,578 --> 00:43:02,045
What was on the license plate?
967
00:43:02,047 --> 00:43:05,882
It's one of those
that you have made special.
968
00:43:05,884 --> 00:43:08,885
It says "fish hook."
969
00:43:08,887 --> 00:43:11,988
You've known about this
ever since Tim died.
970
00:43:11,990 --> 00:43:14,123
Why did you wait until now
971
00:43:14,125 --> 00:43:15,224
to say anything?
972
00:43:15,226 --> 00:43:17,260
I tried to forget it.
973
00:43:17,262 --> 00:43:22,031
I didn't even want to believe
that it happened.
974
00:43:24,603 --> 00:43:28,705
I told my mom, and she said
i had to tell the truth.
975
00:43:31,109 --> 00:43:33,242
No further questions.
976
00:43:35,747 --> 00:43:38,081
In The People
v. Marian Borland
977
00:43:38,083 --> 00:43:39,349
and Randall Borland
978
00:43:39,351 --> 00:43:41,384
on the sole count
of the indictment
979
00:43:41,386 --> 00:43:43,252
murder in the second degree
980
00:43:43,254 --> 00:43:46,055
how does the jury find
on Randall Borland?
981
00:43:46,057 --> 00:43:48,091
We find the defendant guilty.
982
00:43:48,093 --> 00:43:50,727
On the sole count
of the indictment
983
00:43:50,729 --> 00:43:52,161
against Marian Borland
984
00:43:52,163 --> 00:43:53,363
murder in the second degree
985
00:43:53,365 --> 00:43:55,264
how does the jury find?
986
00:43:55,266 --> 00:43:58,067
We find the defendant guilty.
987
00:44:14,786 --> 00:44:16,319
Hi, Phil, Mike.
988
00:44:16,321 --> 00:44:17,320
Hi.
Ben.
989
00:44:17,322 --> 00:44:18,788
What's up?
990
00:44:18,790 --> 00:44:21,190
Um, I'd like
to verify something.
991
00:44:21,192 --> 00:44:23,192
The girl's testimony
992
00:44:23,194 --> 00:44:25,662
as it's described here--
is this accurate?
993
00:44:25,664 --> 00:44:27,664
For everything
in quotes, yes.
994
00:44:27,666 --> 00:44:30,667
She says she came running
around the corner
995
00:44:30,669 --> 00:44:32,301
and saw
the license plate.
996
00:44:32,303 --> 00:44:35,338
Does she have eyes
in the back of her head?
997
00:44:35,340 --> 00:44:38,041
CERRETA:
She said the truck
was coming toward her.
998
00:44:38,043 --> 00:44:40,376
The only way she sees
the license plate
999
00:44:40,378 --> 00:44:43,346
is if she turns around,
goes back to the corner
1000
00:44:43,348 --> 00:44:45,448
and watches
the back of the truck
1001
00:44:45,450 --> 00:44:46,716
as it pulls away.
1002
00:44:46,718 --> 00:44:48,718
She saw the front plate?
1003
00:44:48,720 --> 00:44:50,687
That's been missing for months.
1004
00:44:50,689 --> 00:44:52,789
There is no
front plate.
1005
00:44:52,791 --> 00:44:54,223
LOGAN:
Borland ordered a new one.
1006
00:44:54,225 --> 00:44:56,759
The state never sent it.
1007
00:44:56,761 --> 00:44:58,161
God bless bureaucracy.
1008
00:44:58,163 --> 00:45:01,164
We have instincts, too, Ben.
1009
00:45:05,704 --> 00:45:08,171

It was a shocking reversal

STONE:
You want to indict
1017
00:45:20,385 --> 00:45:22,418
a 17-year-old girl
for perjury?
1018
00:45:22,420 --> 00:45:24,120
You want a new trial?
1019

Where do you find
an untainted jury?
1020
00:45:26,291 --> 00:45:28,057
Upstate-- I don't care
1021
00:45:28,059 --> 00:45:30,460
if we have to go
to the Canadian border.
1022
00:45:30,462 --> 00:45:32,729
Next time we'll get

who had taken his son's place
1027
00:45:43,775 --> 00:45:45,108
I liked it better
1028
00:45:45,110 --> 00:45:47,243
when the criminals
were doing the killing.
1029
00:45:47,245 --> 00:45:50,179
The whole world has gone mad.

A counselor
1031
00:45:52,884 --> 00:45:54,417

an epidemic of fear.
