1
00:00:09,926 --> 00:00:10,301
.
2
00:00:10,343 --> 00:00:11,302
- In the criminal justice
system,
3
00:00:12,095 --> 00:00:13,430
the people are represented
4
00:00:13,471 --> 00:00:15,807
by two separate,
yet equally important groups:
5
00:00:15,849 --> 00:00:17,767
the police,
who investigate crime,
6
00:00:17,809 --> 00:00:20,729
and the district attorneys,
who prosecute the offenders.
7
00:00:20,770 --> 00:00:22,731
These are their stories.
8
00:00:24,190 --> 00:00:26,401
- I don't anticipate
we'll get any pushback.
9
00:00:26,443 --> 00:00:27,944
No.
10
00:00:27,986 --> 00:00:30,655
But just in case, I want to be
prepped for Friday's meeting
11
00:00:30,697 --> 00:00:32,866
with a list of
all the necessa--
12
00:00:32,907 --> 00:00:34,868
what the hell?
13
00:00:34,909 --> 00:00:37,412
Are you kidding me?
14
00:00:37,454 --> 00:00:40,749
No, I'm pretty sure I just
stepped in a pile of vomit.
15
00:00:40,790 --> 00:00:43,126
It's all over my
brand-new Ferragamos.
16
00:00:43,168 --> 00:00:44,627
Listen, I gotta call you back.
17
00:00:46,254 --> 00:00:48,465
Did you do this?
18
00:00:48,506 --> 00:00:51,593
Hey, Jose, I'm talking to you.
19
00:00:51,634 --> 00:00:52,802
Is this you?
20
00:00:52,844 --> 00:00:54,596
Did you make this mess?
21
00:00:54,637 --> 00:00:57,015
Yeah, it was you,
wasn't it, huh?
22
00:00:57,057 --> 00:00:58,266
You know what?
23
00:00:58,308 --> 00:01:01,269
You people are
ruining the city.
24
00:01:01,311 --> 00:01:03,313
Oh, no.
Look at all your garbage.
25
00:01:03,355 --> 00:01:05,690
- Whoa. Hey, hey, hey, hey!
- Clean it up.
26
00:01:05,732 --> 00:01:06,691
[speaking Spanish]
27
00:01:06,733 --> 00:01:07,901
- It's you?
28
00:01:07,942 --> 00:01:10,737
Tranquilo what?
You want some of this too?
29
00:01:10,779 --> 00:01:12,155
- I just want you
to leave him alone.
30
00:01:12,197 --> 00:01:13,448
I don't want any trouble.
- Yeah?
31
00:01:13,490 --> 00:01:15,617
Well, you are trouble, pal.
32
00:01:15,658 --> 00:01:17,160
What?
33
00:01:17,202 --> 00:01:19,621
What? Hey.
34
00:01:19,662 --> 00:01:21,831
[both grunting]
35
00:01:21,873 --> 00:01:23,083
Hey, get off me.
36
00:01:23,124 --> 00:01:24,417
That hurts, you dirty--
37
00:01:24,459 --> 00:01:25,960
- You mess with anyone
around here again,
38
00:01:26,002 --> 00:01:27,671
I'll make you really hurt.
39
00:01:27,712 --> 00:01:28,922
You understand?
40
00:01:28,963 --> 00:01:30,215
- Yeah.
41
00:01:30,256 --> 00:01:33,259
[tense music]
42
00:01:33,301 --> 00:01:34,302
- What are we looking at?
43
00:01:34,344 --> 00:01:35,345
- DOA's male.
44
00:01:35,387 --> 00:01:36,763
Looks to be in his 20s.
45
00:01:36,805 --> 00:01:38,348
Male was out walking
his dog before bed,
46
00:01:38,390 --> 00:01:39,933
saw the body lying
on the bench.
47
00:01:39,974 --> 00:01:42,143
Thought the guy was sleeping
until he saw the blood.
48
00:01:42,185 --> 00:01:43,687
- Shot three times in the back.
49
00:01:43,728 --> 00:01:45,855
Blood streaks on the
pavement over there.
50
00:01:45,897 --> 00:01:48,024
- Shot over there,
killer drags them over here,
51
00:01:48,066 --> 00:01:49,275
lays them on the bench.
52
00:01:49,317 --> 00:01:51,861
Buys some time before
anyone notices the body.
53
00:01:51,903 --> 00:01:53,863
- Time of death?
- It wasn't that long ago.
54
00:01:53,905 --> 00:01:55,782
I'd say less than two hours.
55
00:01:55,824 --> 00:01:57,200
- So around midnight?
56
00:01:57,242 --> 00:01:59,077
- Around then,
this place is deserted.
57
00:01:59,119 --> 00:02:00,161
There's no cameras.
58
00:02:00,203 --> 00:02:01,162
What about a wallet and ID?
59
00:02:01,204 --> 00:02:02,956
- No. No phone, either.
60
00:02:02,997 --> 00:02:04,791
- Maybe a mugging?
61
00:02:04,833 --> 00:02:07,961
- I don't know if our vic
had anything worth stealing.
62
00:02:08,003 --> 00:02:10,422
Bleecker Mission Shelter.
63
00:02:10,463 --> 00:02:11,548
Looks like our vic
was homeless.
64
00:02:11,589 --> 00:02:12,841
- Well, if he had
a place to stay,
65
00:02:12,882 --> 00:02:14,092
what's he doing out here?
66
00:02:14,134 --> 00:02:16,011
- I don't know.
67
00:02:16,052 --> 00:02:18,304
That's the Venezuelan flag.
68
00:02:18,346 --> 00:02:19,806
What do you want to bet
he's from there?
69
00:02:19,848 --> 00:02:23,601
* *
70
00:02:23,643 --> 00:02:26,938
- Give me your tired,
your poor,
71
00:02:26,980 --> 00:02:28,857
yearning to breathe free.
72
00:02:32,068 --> 00:02:35,030
[dramatic music]
73
00:02:35,071 --> 00:02:42,203
* *
74
00:03:18,948 --> 00:03:21,034
- [sighs]
That's Luis.
75
00:03:21,076 --> 00:03:23,286
He's been staying with us
for about four months now.
76
00:03:23,328 --> 00:03:24,412
I knew something
was wrong when he
77
00:03:24,454 --> 00:03:25,747
didn't make curfew last night.
78
00:03:25,789 --> 00:03:27,624
We have a strict
11:00 p.m. cut off.
79
00:03:27,665 --> 00:03:29,292
Luis had never
missed it before.
80
00:03:29,334 --> 00:03:31,127
- What's his last name?
- Morales.
81
00:03:31,169 --> 00:03:33,004
- You know what could have
kept him out past curfew?
82
00:03:33,046 --> 00:03:35,298
- No, but I can take
you to his locker.
83
00:03:35,340 --> 00:03:37,717
- What can you tell us
about Mr. Morales?
84
00:03:37,759 --> 00:03:39,386
- He was one of the
greatest kids I ever met--
85
00:03:39,427 --> 00:03:40,679
the kind of person
who'd give you
86
00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:42,013
the shirt off
his back even though
87
00:03:42,055 --> 00:03:44,307
you don't need it and he does.
88
00:03:46,810 --> 00:03:47,560
- That's fine.
89
00:03:47,602 --> 00:03:48,853
That's fine. I got it.
90
00:03:51,815 --> 00:03:53,316
- Which one of
these bunks is his?
91
00:03:53,358 --> 00:03:55,235
- Right there.
92
00:03:55,276 --> 00:03:56,736
- Parents?
- Both dead.
93
00:03:56,778 --> 00:03:58,863
They were killed by police
in Venezuela
94
00:03:58,905 --> 00:04:00,115
at a protest against
the country's
95
00:04:00,156 --> 00:04:01,616
political corruption.
96
00:04:01,658 --> 00:04:03,535
- The situation is
really bad down there.
97
00:04:03,576 --> 00:04:05,745
- Luis's parents told him
that America was different,
98
00:04:05,787 --> 00:04:07,747
the land of opportunity.
He believed it too.
99
00:04:07,789 --> 00:04:08,957
- You don't?
100
00:04:08,998 --> 00:04:10,583
- Work here for a week
and then talk to me.
101
00:04:10,625 --> 00:04:12,669
It took Luis months to make
his way up through Mexico.
102
00:04:12,711 --> 00:04:14,921
Then he finally crosses
the border in Texas only
103
00:04:14,963 --> 00:04:16,840
to be packed onto a
Greyhound and shipped
104
00:04:16,881 --> 00:04:19,384
3,000 miles away by a governor
looking to make headlines.
105
00:04:19,426 --> 00:04:21,094
- He was on one
of the migrant buses?
106
00:04:21,136 --> 00:04:22,345
- Disgusting.
107
00:04:22,387 --> 00:04:24,222
Politicians using
human beings as props.
108
00:04:24,264 --> 00:04:26,766
- I think he would have been
better off here than Texas.
109
00:04:26,808 --> 00:04:28,268
- Not so much.
110
00:04:28,309 --> 00:04:30,103
I mean, Luis was on the first
bus to arrive in the city.
111
00:04:30,145 --> 00:04:32,188
The mayor's there, greets
them, shakes their hands.
112
00:04:32,230 --> 00:04:33,440
Says they'll all
be taken care of.
113
00:04:33,481 --> 00:04:34,858
- But then no follow through?
114
00:04:34,899 --> 00:04:36,317
- [laughs]
Not even a little.
115
00:04:36,359 --> 00:04:38,486
Mayor got his photo op,
but then the buses kept coming
116
00:04:38,528 --> 00:04:40,655
and the city never
came up with a plan.
117
00:04:40,697 --> 00:04:44,451
- You know of anyone who
might want to hurt Luis?
118
00:04:44,492 --> 00:04:46,870
- There was a situation
yesterday.
119
00:04:46,911 --> 00:04:49,789
Luis got into a fight
with a man just outside.
120
00:04:51,291 --> 00:04:53,501
- From the shelter
security cameras.
121
00:04:56,004 --> 00:04:57,297
- Whoa.
122
00:04:57,339 --> 00:04:59,299
Morales could have
been a contender.
123
00:04:59,341 --> 00:05:01,593
Do we know who the guy is who's
getting his ass handed to him?
124
00:05:01,634 --> 00:05:03,470
- Facial rec got a hit.
125
00:05:03,511 --> 00:05:06,639
Gavin Stulner, 28,
works in I-banking.
126
00:05:06,681 --> 00:05:08,433
He's got priors
for drunk and disorderly
127
00:05:08,475 --> 00:05:09,642
and assaulting an officer.
128
00:05:09,684 --> 00:05:11,519
- Oh, a real stand-up guy.
129
00:05:11,561 --> 00:05:14,189
- Ass whooping like that,
that had to bruise his ego.
130
00:05:14,230 --> 00:05:16,941
- Maybe he settled
the score later that night.
131
00:05:19,944 --> 00:05:21,863
- That kid was a punk.
- Really?
132
00:05:21,905 --> 00:05:24,657
Because everyone we spoke with
said just the opposite.
133
00:05:24,699 --> 00:05:26,159
- No, I'm telling you,
my apartment's right
134
00:05:26,201 --> 00:05:27,202
next door to that shelter.
135
00:05:27,243 --> 00:05:28,536
The whole place is a mess.
136
00:05:28,578 --> 00:05:30,288
And that dude is the
worst of the bunch.
137
00:05:30,330 --> 00:05:31,373
I'm not the only one
in my building
138
00:05:31,414 --> 00:05:32,832
who's had an issue
with him, either.
139
00:05:32,874 --> 00:05:34,542
- What was he doing
that was so horrible?
140
00:05:34,584 --> 00:05:36,002
- [scoffs]
What do you think?
141
00:05:36,044 --> 00:05:38,672
Harassing people,
loitering, stealing stuff.
142
00:05:38,713 --> 00:05:40,799
That's what they all do.
143
00:05:40,840 --> 00:05:43,510
- They?
- Yeah. The homeless.
144
00:05:43,551 --> 00:05:44,886
- [laughs]
- What?
145
00:05:44,928 --> 00:05:46,346
I know it's unpopular
to say, but they make
146
00:05:46,388 --> 00:05:47,764
the neighborhood less safe.
147
00:05:47,806 --> 00:05:49,391
Half of them are illegal
immigrants who shouldn't even
148
00:05:49,432 --> 00:05:50,892
be here in the first place,
149
00:05:50,934 --> 00:05:52,686
and the other half are
freeloaders or drug addicts.
150
00:05:52,727 --> 00:05:54,020
- You sound a little angry.
151
00:05:54,062 --> 00:05:55,188
- No.
152
00:05:55,230 --> 00:05:56,231
I'm very angry.
153
00:05:56,272 --> 00:05:57,691
- [laughs]
- What?
154
00:05:57,732 --> 00:06:00,527
I pay 10K a month in rent
to live in a luxury high rise,
155
00:06:00,568 --> 00:06:02,320
only to end up next to a
bunch of people who treat
156
00:06:02,362 --> 00:06:03,738
the sidewalk as their toilet.
157
00:06:03,780 --> 00:06:06,449
- Very angry people
make very stupid choices.
158
00:06:06,491 --> 00:06:10,120
- Yeah, especially angry people
who get their asses kicked.
159
00:06:10,161 --> 00:06:12,414
We caught that video
of your altercation.
160
00:06:12,455 --> 00:06:14,165
- Big deal. He jumped me.
161
00:06:14,207 --> 00:06:15,583
- That's not what we saw.
162
00:06:15,625 --> 00:06:18,044
- That doesn't mean
I killed him.
163
00:06:18,086 --> 00:06:20,130
I trade muni bonds,
I don't murder people.
164
00:06:20,171 --> 00:06:22,382
- What were you doing
last night at midnight?
165
00:06:22,424 --> 00:06:24,009
- I was at a bar in Dumbo.
166
00:06:24,050 --> 00:06:26,428
Took a bunch of the firm's
new recruits out for drinks.
167
00:06:26,469 --> 00:06:28,054
We didn't leave
till after 2:00 a.m.
168
00:06:28,096 --> 00:06:29,848
A place called the Vault.
You can check it.
169
00:06:29,889 --> 00:06:31,182
- We will.
170
00:06:31,224 --> 00:06:33,184
You said that other people
in your building
171
00:06:33,226 --> 00:06:34,686
had a problem with Morales.
172
00:06:34,728 --> 00:06:35,937
- That's right.
173
00:06:35,979 --> 00:06:39,649
- Care to elaborate?
Got a name?
174
00:06:39,691 --> 00:06:41,526
- Yeah, I know him.
Name's Luis.
175
00:06:41,568 --> 00:06:44,029
- Are you two friends?
- No, not exactly.
176
00:06:44,070 --> 00:06:45,822
He did a job for me.
It didn't work out so well.
177
00:06:45,864 --> 00:06:47,240
- Yeah, we heard about that.
178
00:06:47,282 --> 00:06:48,408
We talked to somebody,
179
00:06:48,450 --> 00:06:49,701
he said you pulled a gun
on him yesterday?
180
00:06:49,743 --> 00:06:51,953
- I did.
But it was in self-defense.
181
00:06:51,995 --> 00:06:53,413
- How's that?
182
00:06:53,455 --> 00:06:55,749
- I hired him to patch a hole
in my dining room wall.
183
00:06:55,790 --> 00:06:57,917
I went into the other room
to take a work Zoom,
184
00:06:57,959 --> 00:07:00,462
and when I came back out
to grab the phone,
185
00:07:00,503 --> 00:07:01,546
I caught him
trying to steal it.
186
00:07:01,588 --> 00:07:02,922
- What was he doing?
187
00:07:02,964 --> 00:07:04,090
Hiding it in a bag
or something?
188
00:07:04,132 --> 00:07:05,383
- He was holding it.
189
00:07:05,425 --> 00:07:07,302
Said he was just borrowing it
to make a call,
190
00:07:07,344 --> 00:07:08,762
but I'm not stupid.
191
00:07:08,803 --> 00:07:10,221
I grabbed it from him
and told him to get out,
192
00:07:10,263 --> 00:07:12,223
but he refused.
- He refused to leave?
193
00:07:12,265 --> 00:07:14,476
- He wanted me to pay him
for the dry wall job.
194
00:07:14,517 --> 00:07:16,644
- Had he finished the job?
195
00:07:16,686 --> 00:07:19,564
- Yeah, but I wasn't gonna
give money to a thief.
196
00:07:19,606 --> 00:07:21,858
He wouldn't budge,
so I went and got my gun.
197
00:07:21,900 --> 00:07:23,651
My dad gave it to me during
COVID to make sure
198
00:07:23,693 --> 00:07:24,861
I'd be safe,
and that did the trick.
199
00:07:24,903 --> 00:07:26,780
He got right the hell out.
200
00:07:26,821 --> 00:07:27,989
- And you didn't see him again?
201
00:07:28,031 --> 00:07:29,407
- No.
202
00:07:29,449 --> 00:07:32,243
I have every right to defend
myself in my own home.
203
00:07:34,662 --> 00:07:36,915
- Lou, little update here.
204
00:07:36,956 --> 00:07:39,250
So Luis Morales was killed
by a 9-millimeter.
205
00:07:39,292 --> 00:07:41,961
Samantha Morris's firearm's
a SIG Sauer .45.
206
00:07:42,003 --> 00:07:43,838
Not our murder weapon.
- So we got nothing?
207
00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:46,049
- However, we checked
Morris's phone records,
208
00:07:46,091 --> 00:07:47,592
and it looks like
Morales did, in fact,
209
00:07:47,634 --> 00:07:49,469
use her cell to make a call.
210
00:07:49,511 --> 00:07:50,637
- That's odd.
211
00:07:50,679 --> 00:07:52,806
- No, not really.
He's--he's homeless.
212
00:07:52,847 --> 00:07:54,474
- He saw it on the table.
213
00:07:54,516 --> 00:07:56,726
It was still unlocked, he
picked it up and made a call.
214
00:07:56,768 --> 00:07:58,019
- Do we know who he called?
215
00:07:58,061 --> 00:08:01,564
- Number's registered
to a Michael Higueres.
216
00:08:01,606 --> 00:08:03,024
Call lasted a minute 45.
217
00:08:03,066 --> 00:08:04,776
- We know anything about him?
218
00:08:04,818 --> 00:08:07,779
- He's a journalist living
in Battery Park City.
219
00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:11,574
- That's one block
from the crime scene.
220
00:08:14,035 --> 00:08:17,747
- Mr. Higueres, I'm Detective
Cosgrove, Detective Shaw.
221
00:08:17,789 --> 00:08:20,583
We'd like to ask you
about Luis Morales.
222
00:08:20,625 --> 00:08:22,377
You know him, right?
- Yes.
223
00:08:22,419 --> 00:08:23,920
I interviewed him
a few months ago
224
00:08:23,962 --> 00:08:26,464
for an article I was writing
about the migrant buses.
225
00:08:26,506 --> 00:08:27,841
He was helpful.
226
00:08:27,882 --> 00:08:29,843
Gave real depth into the
plight of these immigrants.
227
00:08:29,884 --> 00:08:32,220
I mean, they came here
hoping for a better life.
228
00:08:32,262 --> 00:08:34,347
- Can I ask you,
did you keep in touch with him?
229
00:08:34,389 --> 00:08:36,516
- Yeah, I was supposed to
meet up with him last night,
230
00:08:36,558 --> 00:08:37,976
actually, but he never showed.
231
00:08:38,018 --> 00:08:39,644
- That's because he's dead.
232
00:08:39,686 --> 00:08:41,438
[suspenseful music]
233
00:08:41,479 --> 00:08:44,357
Yeah, someone shot him.
234
00:08:44,399 --> 00:08:46,693
- I can't believe he--
235
00:08:46,735 --> 00:08:48,403
he must have been
telling the truth.
236
00:08:48,445 --> 00:08:49,696
He really did see something.
237
00:08:49,738 --> 00:08:51,531
- What are you talking about?
238
00:08:51,573 --> 00:08:53,616
- Luis said he had
a story for me.
239
00:08:53,658 --> 00:08:56,202
Said he knew something
about a murder.
240
00:08:56,244 --> 00:08:59,247
* *
241
00:09:04,794 --> 00:09:05,170
.
242
00:09:05,211 --> 00:09:05,795
- Hey, what do we got?
243
00:09:07,172 --> 00:09:09,299
- According to Michael
Higueres, Morales called him
244
00:09:09,341 --> 00:09:11,718
the day he was killed,
wanted to talk about a murder.
245
00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:14,179
He said he saw something
crazy the day before.
246
00:09:14,220 --> 00:09:16,222
- Did he say what
this crazy thing was
247
00:09:16,264 --> 00:09:18,683
or any other
pertinent information?
248
00:09:18,725 --> 00:09:20,101
- No, he was in a hurry.
249
00:09:20,143 --> 00:09:22,562
Just said it had something
to do with a murder.
250
00:09:22,604 --> 00:09:25,106
He told Higueres they need
to meet up in person
251
00:09:25,148 --> 00:09:26,441
so they can discuss it
in detail.
252
00:09:26,483 --> 00:09:28,318
- So if he knows
about a murder,
253
00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:29,944
why doesn't he just
call the police?
254
00:09:29,986 --> 00:09:32,113
- He might have been scared
about his immigration status.
255
00:09:32,155 --> 00:09:34,324
- And trusted a journalist
more than cops.
256
00:09:34,366 --> 00:09:36,451
- Okay, so the guy
sees something crazy.
257
00:09:36,493 --> 00:09:39,371
He reaches out to his
trusted journalist friend,
258
00:09:39,412 --> 00:09:41,790
and he gets shot
before he's actually
259
00:09:41,831 --> 00:09:43,124
able to hook up with him.
260
00:09:43,166 --> 00:09:45,085
- According to Higueres,
Morales was a no show.
261
00:09:45,126 --> 00:09:46,753
- Looks like he's telling
the truth about that.
262
00:09:46,795 --> 00:09:48,713
We found street cam footage
that shows Higueres waiting
263
00:09:48,755 --> 00:09:50,924
on a bench on the
other side of the park
264
00:09:50,965 --> 00:09:52,467
during the time of the murder.
265
00:09:52,509 --> 00:09:56,554
- Okay, so we know that this
crazy thing that Morales saw
266
00:09:56,596 --> 00:09:58,348
happened the day
before he was murdered.
267
00:09:58,390 --> 00:10:00,892
So we need to retrace
his steps that day
268
00:10:00,934 --> 00:10:04,688
and figure out where he was
and what he might have seen.
269
00:10:07,524 --> 00:10:09,859
- That would have been what?
Three days ago?
270
00:10:09,901 --> 00:10:11,361
I don't remember
anything unusual.
271
00:10:11,403 --> 00:10:13,613
Luis woke up early,
like always, had breakfast,
272
00:10:13,655 --> 00:10:14,781
and then headed out
for the day.
273
00:10:14,823 --> 00:10:15,865
- Where was he going?
274
00:10:15,907 --> 00:10:17,409
- To try and find work.
275
00:10:17,450 --> 00:10:19,035
He was determined to afford
his own apartment
276
00:10:19,077 --> 00:10:20,370
so that he could get out
of here.
277
00:10:20,412 --> 00:10:22,122
But, you know,
being undocumented,
278
00:10:22,163 --> 00:10:23,832
the only work he could
find was under the table.
279
00:10:23,873 --> 00:10:25,500
- So you have no idea where
he might have been looking?
280
00:10:25,542 --> 00:10:27,293
- He picked up odd jobs
and day labor shifts
281
00:10:27,335 --> 00:10:29,379
all over the city.
282
00:10:29,421 --> 00:10:31,506
But now that I think about it,
I did notice
283
00:10:31,548 --> 00:10:33,133
he left that morning
with Obie White,
284
00:10:33,174 --> 00:10:34,592
another one of our residents.
285
00:10:34,634 --> 00:10:36,678
- Is that unusual?
- Not necessarily.
286
00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:40,807
It's just that Obie struggles
with heroin addiction.
287
00:10:40,849 --> 00:10:42,225
- Is he here right now?
288
00:10:45,395 --> 00:10:47,564
- Looks like he hasn't
been back here since that day.
289
00:10:49,941 --> 00:10:51,526
Obie's a good guy.
290
00:10:51,568 --> 00:10:52,861
No way he'd ever be involved
in something like this.
291
00:10:52,902 --> 00:10:54,195
- I'm sure he is.
292
00:10:54,237 --> 00:10:55,405
But all the same,
do you know where he
293
00:10:55,447 --> 00:10:58,033
hangs out when he's not here?
294
00:10:58,074 --> 00:11:00,118
[suspenseful music]
295
00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:02,078
- Where there's drugs,
there's murders.
296
00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:03,329
The cost of doing business.
297
00:11:03,371 --> 00:11:04,748
- Yeah, generally.
298
00:11:04,789 --> 00:11:06,041
But I don't think that's
the case this time.
299
00:11:06,082 --> 00:11:07,876
This kid Morales seemed clean.
300
00:11:07,917 --> 00:11:09,961
I mean, everybody keeps
saying he was a great guy.
301
00:11:10,003 --> 00:11:11,963
- Doesn't mean he
wasn't dealing.
302
00:11:12,005 --> 00:11:14,924
- Frank, these guys are dealt
a really bad hand, all right?
303
00:11:14,966 --> 00:11:17,135
This kid comes over here
looking for a new life,
304
00:11:17,177 --> 00:11:19,721
doesn't pick up any good cards
when he crosses the border.
305
00:11:19,763 --> 00:11:22,599
He's punted like a political
football from Texas to here.
306
00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:24,893
He got no family in the States
so he can't get naturalized,
307
00:11:24,934 --> 00:11:26,519
which means he can't get
a good job, which means
308
00:11:26,561 --> 00:11:28,313
he can't make a living wage.
309
00:11:32,108 --> 00:11:33,902
- That's our guy.
310
00:11:33,943 --> 00:11:40,408
* *
311
00:11:40,450 --> 00:11:42,202
- 5-0!
[all yelling]
312
00:11:42,243 --> 00:11:43,828
- NYPD, stop!
313
00:12:03,139 --> 00:12:04,599
Freeze! Police!
314
00:12:04,641 --> 00:12:11,564
* *
315
00:12:35,922 --> 00:12:37,549
Police! Stop!
316
00:12:40,343 --> 00:12:42,303
- Oh, that had to hurt.
317
00:12:42,345 --> 00:12:44,139
All right, come on. Get up.
318
00:12:44,180 --> 00:12:47,934
Let's go.
- [grunts]
319
00:12:47,976 --> 00:12:49,519
I didn't have any drugs on me.
320
00:12:49,561 --> 00:12:50,729
- Of course you don't.
321
00:12:50,770 --> 00:12:52,063
But we don't care
about that, Obie.
322
00:12:52,105 --> 00:12:54,274
- We're the murder cops,
Homicide.
323
00:12:54,315 --> 00:12:56,192
Want to talk to you
about Luis Morales.
324
00:12:56,234 --> 00:12:57,235
- Homicide?
325
00:12:57,277 --> 00:12:59,195
But--Luis is dead?
326
00:12:59,237 --> 00:13:02,490
- Oh, you hadn't heard?
Someone shot him.
327
00:13:02,532 --> 00:13:03,616
- I tried to warn him.
328
00:13:03,658 --> 00:13:05,160
- Tried to warn him about what?
329
00:13:05,201 --> 00:13:06,453
- Ugh.
330
00:13:08,538 --> 00:13:11,332
- Look, we're not trying
to hem you up, bro.
331
00:13:11,374 --> 00:13:12,834
We don't want the paperwork,
332
00:13:12,876 --> 00:13:14,794
and you don't want to go
to jail, am I right?
333
00:13:14,836 --> 00:13:16,421
Okay, so just
shoot us straight,
334
00:13:16,463 --> 00:13:18,131
and we'll look the other way
on the possession charge.
335
00:13:18,173 --> 00:13:19,341
But you gotta
tell us everything
336
00:13:19,382 --> 00:13:22,135
that you know right now.
337
00:13:22,177 --> 00:13:23,678
Talk!
338
00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:26,264
- The last time I saw Luis
was a few days ago.
339
00:13:26,306 --> 00:13:27,807
He was going out to find work,
340
00:13:27,849 --> 00:13:30,101
and he wanted to bring me
with him.
341
00:13:30,143 --> 00:13:32,437
He was trying to keep me busy,
help me stay sober.
342
00:13:32,479 --> 00:13:34,773
- What were you trying
to warn him about?
343
00:13:34,814 --> 00:13:36,316
- We went to look
for work down at this
344
00:13:36,358 --> 00:13:37,984
big construction site downtown.
345
00:13:38,026 --> 00:13:40,153
I mean, they're building one
of those giant skyscrapers.
346
00:13:40,195 --> 00:13:41,654
- Okay. Okay, keep going.
347
00:13:41,696 --> 00:13:43,281
- We had worked there before,
348
00:13:43,323 --> 00:13:44,824
a lot of guys
at the shelter too.
349
00:13:44,866 --> 00:13:46,451
The foreman down there,
he likes hiring guys
350
00:13:46,493 --> 00:13:48,203
on the fringe, you know?
351
00:13:48,244 --> 00:13:50,372
Illegals, deadbeats.
352
00:13:50,413 --> 00:13:51,748
They pay us in cash.
353
00:13:51,790 --> 00:13:53,083
No union rules.
354
00:13:53,124 --> 00:13:54,918
- No union wages.
355
00:13:54,959 --> 00:13:56,378
- Exactly.
356
00:13:56,419 --> 00:13:58,463
Pennies on the dollar
for the same damn work.
357
00:13:58,505 --> 00:14:02,676
- So you go over to the
construction site and?
358
00:14:04,427 --> 00:14:06,471
- We saw something
we shouldn't have seen.
359
00:14:06,513 --> 00:14:12,936
* *
360
00:14:12,977 --> 00:14:15,939
[sirens wailing]
361
00:14:27,367 --> 00:14:29,119
- You're the foreman,
Randall Tully?
362
00:14:29,160 --> 00:14:30,954
- Yeah. Can I help you?
363
00:14:30,995 --> 00:14:32,580
- NYPD.
364
00:14:32,622 --> 00:14:34,416
We need you to shut down
all work immediately.
365
00:14:34,457 --> 00:14:35,917
- On what authority?
366
00:14:35,959 --> 00:14:37,627
- The Supreme Court
of the State of New York.
367
00:14:40,255 --> 00:14:42,465
[device beeping]
368
00:14:44,217 --> 00:14:47,220
[device beeping rapidly]
369
00:14:47,262 --> 00:14:49,806
- Detectives,
I found something.
370
00:14:49,848 --> 00:14:54,477
* *
371
00:14:54,519 --> 00:14:55,854
That's a skull.
372
00:14:55,895 --> 00:14:58,273
There's the torso.
Those are the legs.
373
00:14:58,314 --> 00:14:59,607
- All still attached?
374
00:14:59,649 --> 00:15:01,568
- Yes.
Body looks fully intact.
375
00:15:01,609 --> 00:15:02,569
So does the other one.
376
00:15:02,610 --> 00:15:04,404
- Other one?
- Yes.
377
00:15:04,446 --> 00:15:06,322
There are two bodies. See?
378
00:15:06,364 --> 00:15:07,532
Right here.
379
00:15:07,574 --> 00:15:12,912
* *
380
00:15:18,668 --> 00:15:18,835
.
381
00:15:18,877 --> 00:15:19,711
- Our techs were
working all night
382
00:15:21,171 --> 00:15:23,548
excavating those two bodies
we found in the foundation.
383
00:15:23,590 --> 00:15:25,592
They're getting
an autopsy right now.
384
00:15:25,633 --> 00:15:27,218
So why don't you just
do yourself a favor
385
00:15:27,260 --> 00:15:29,012
and tell us who they are?
386
00:15:29,054 --> 00:15:31,097
- I--I--I don't know
anything about that.
387
00:15:31,139 --> 00:15:34,726
- Randall, we got a witness
who saw you
388
00:15:34,768 --> 00:15:36,311
pour the concrete
over the bodies.
389
00:15:36,353 --> 00:15:40,023
Showed up at the site that
morning with Luis Morales.
390
00:15:40,065 --> 00:15:42,484
The witness saw what he saw,
freaked out, and took off.
391
00:15:42,525 --> 00:15:44,027
But Luis stayed, didn't he?
392
00:15:44,069 --> 00:15:47,072
He stayed and he
confronted you, didn't he?
393
00:15:47,113 --> 00:15:49,574
- That why you killed him?
394
00:15:49,616 --> 00:15:52,035
- I'm sorry, I--I don't know
who you're talking about.
395
00:15:54,037 --> 00:15:56,289
- You don't know Luis?
396
00:15:56,331 --> 00:15:58,792
You gonna stick
with that story?
397
00:15:58,833 --> 00:16:00,669
Because we found some
really interesting things
398
00:16:00,710 --> 00:16:02,003
in his apartment.
399
00:16:02,045 --> 00:16:04,130
Oh, you didn't
know that, did you?
400
00:16:04,172 --> 00:16:08,510
Yeah, he got out of the
shelter, got his own place.
401
00:16:08,551 --> 00:16:10,970
You know what we found there?
402
00:16:11,012 --> 00:16:12,305
His journal.
403
00:16:12,347 --> 00:16:14,057
It's a treasure trove.
[chuckles]
404
00:16:14,099 --> 00:16:15,600
You know what
he was putting in there?
405
00:16:15,642 --> 00:16:17,686
He was writing down all
the stuff he was doing,
406
00:16:17,727 --> 00:16:20,063
the people he was meeting,
how he was working
407
00:16:20,105 --> 00:16:22,899
for the number-one developer
in New York City.
408
00:16:25,193 --> 00:16:28,321
- Randall, he had a phone
he took pictures with,
409
00:16:28,363 --> 00:16:30,990
probably to send back
to his family in Venezuela.
410
00:16:31,032 --> 00:16:32,909
He let them know that
he was doing good,
411
00:16:32,951 --> 00:16:36,913
he got a good job, working for
a good company, good people.
412
00:16:38,581 --> 00:16:40,000
We have the photos.
You want to see them?
413
00:16:40,041 --> 00:16:41,209
- No, I remember the guy.
414
00:16:41,251 --> 00:16:43,420
- Oh, so now you remember him?
415
00:16:43,461 --> 00:16:44,671
- Well, I don't pour concrete.
416
00:16:44,713 --> 00:16:46,047
You know, I'm the foreman.
417
00:16:48,341 --> 00:16:50,385
- You're terrible
at this, Randall.
418
00:16:50,427 --> 00:16:52,804
- What? This?
- Lying.
419
00:16:52,846 --> 00:16:55,765
So do yourself a favor.
420
00:16:55,807 --> 00:16:57,892
Just come clean
with everything, please.
421
00:16:57,934 --> 00:17:00,520
Come on.
422
00:17:00,562 --> 00:17:02,814
[suspenseful music]
423
00:17:02,856 --> 00:17:06,776
- Look, I didn't kill anybody,
I swear to God.
424
00:17:06,818 --> 00:17:08,695
They were already dead
when I found them.
425
00:17:08,737 --> 00:17:11,031
I hired two migrants
for day labor.
426
00:17:11,072 --> 00:17:12,657
They must have snuck back
onto the site when
427
00:17:12,699 --> 00:17:14,701
everyone left for the night.
I don't know.
428
00:17:14,743 --> 00:17:17,120
They were probably looking
for a place to sleep.
429
00:17:17,162 --> 00:17:19,914
- How did they die?
430
00:17:19,956 --> 00:17:21,916
- They took an elevator
that was only supposed to be
431
00:17:21,958 --> 00:17:27,339
for building material
and small equipment.
432
00:17:27,380 --> 00:17:29,424
It's 100-pound weight limit.
433
00:17:29,466 --> 00:17:30,800
It's 120 max.
434
00:17:30,842 --> 00:17:33,595
There's a sign
on the damn thing too.
435
00:17:33,636 --> 00:17:35,096
Maybe they couldn't
read English.
436
00:17:35,138 --> 00:17:38,350
- You're saying this whole
thing was an accident?
437
00:17:38,391 --> 00:17:40,477
- When I gotta the site,
438
00:17:40,518 --> 00:17:42,604
the elevator was smashed like
a--
439
00:17:42,645 --> 00:17:45,565
like a pancake,
and they were on the ground
440
00:17:45,607 --> 00:17:48,026
in the middle of the mess,
dead.
441
00:17:48,068 --> 00:17:51,029
- And you didn't think to call
the police or report that?
442
00:17:51,071 --> 00:17:52,739
You thought a better idea
would be,
443
00:17:52,781 --> 00:17:54,783
let's bury them in cement?
444
00:17:54,824 --> 00:17:57,660
- No, no, of course, I wanted
to do the right thing,
445
00:17:57,702 --> 00:17:59,954
but there's been
a lot of accidents lately,
446
00:17:59,996 --> 00:18:01,956
and the city comptroller
said he was gonna shut us down
447
00:18:01,998 --> 00:18:03,625
if there was any more injuries.
448
00:18:03,667 --> 00:18:07,796
So I--I just called
Mr. Wise, my boss.
449
00:18:07,837 --> 00:18:09,422
- Wait. Hold on, hold on.
450
00:18:09,464 --> 00:18:15,261
* *
451
00:18:15,303 --> 00:18:16,262
Eric Wise?
452
00:18:16,304 --> 00:18:17,722
- Yeah.
453
00:18:19,557 --> 00:18:20,892
Do--do you know him?
454
00:18:20,934 --> 00:18:22,435
- No.
455
00:18:22,477 --> 00:18:25,021
I just see his name on
buildings like everybody else.
456
00:18:25,063 --> 00:18:26,815
- Well, if you knew him,
then you know how he'd feel
457
00:18:26,856 --> 00:18:29,526
about a $300 million project
being shut down.
458
00:18:30,902 --> 00:18:34,072
He told me to make
the problems go away.
459
00:18:34,114 --> 00:18:35,907
- So you did.
460
00:18:35,949 --> 00:18:37,826
- Yeah.
461
00:18:37,867 --> 00:18:40,620
I'm not proud of it,
but, you know.
462
00:18:40,662 --> 00:18:41,871
- Yeah.
463
00:18:41,913 --> 00:18:43,707
So let's talk
about Luis Morales.
464
00:18:43,748 --> 00:18:45,542
How did he end up dead?
You shoot him?
465
00:18:45,583 --> 00:18:48,753
- What? No.
466
00:18:48,795 --> 00:18:50,547
That wasn't me.
467
00:18:50,588 --> 00:18:55,176
I was at my house
with my family all night.
468
00:18:55,218 --> 00:18:56,553
- Who killed him then?
469
00:18:56,594 --> 00:18:58,847
- I--I--
470
00:18:58,888 --> 00:19:00,890
I told Mr. Wise
that this Morales kid
471
00:19:00,932 --> 00:19:02,183
was asking a lot of questions,
472
00:19:02,225 --> 00:19:04,853
that he might have seen
the dead bodies.
473
00:19:04,894 --> 00:19:08,023
- And then what did
Mr. Wise say?
474
00:19:10,025 --> 00:19:13,528
- He said that
he'd take care of it.
475
00:19:13,570 --> 00:19:20,326
* *
476
00:19:28,501 --> 00:19:30,420
- Hey.
477
00:19:30,462 --> 00:19:32,130
ME said that both
bodies recovered
478
00:19:32,172 --> 00:19:34,674
at the construction site
were dead prior
479
00:19:34,716 --> 00:19:36,176
to being put in the concrete.
480
00:19:36,217 --> 00:19:38,386
And the cause of death
for both was
481
00:19:38,428 --> 00:19:40,388
this massive traumatic event--
482
00:19:40,430 --> 00:19:44,184
nearly every bone in their body
was either broken or fractured.
483
00:19:44,225 --> 00:19:46,686
We found
an incident report too.
484
00:19:46,728 --> 00:19:50,231
There was an elevator on site
that collapsed four days ago.
485
00:19:50,273 --> 00:19:51,649
No injuries reported.
486
00:19:51,691 --> 00:19:53,401
- So Tully was
telling the truth,
487
00:19:53,443 --> 00:19:55,028
at least about those two.
488
00:19:55,070 --> 00:19:56,446
- Doesn't mean he wasn't lying
about killing Morales.
489
00:19:56,488 --> 00:19:57,947
- His alibi checks out.
490
00:19:57,989 --> 00:20:00,116
He was in Queens
at the time of the murder.
491
00:20:08,500 --> 00:20:11,419
[elevator beeping]
492
00:20:11,461 --> 00:20:18,009
* *
493
00:20:18,051 --> 00:20:19,803
- I called, and I told him
I was coming.
494
00:20:19,844 --> 00:20:22,305
- Yes, Mr. Wise
is expecting you.
495
00:20:22,347 --> 00:20:24,432
Follow me.
496
00:20:24,474 --> 00:20:26,559
- [whistles] Hell of a view.
497
00:20:26,601 --> 00:20:28,061
- Sir.
498
00:20:28,103 --> 00:20:29,938
- You get to live up high
when your empire
499
00:20:29,979 --> 00:20:32,315
is built
on other people's backs.
500
00:20:35,819 --> 00:20:38,196
- Sorry to bother you.
- No. No problem at all.
501
00:20:38,238 --> 00:20:39,948
Have a seat.
502
00:20:39,989 --> 00:20:42,283
Hey, you thirsty?
Want something to drink?
503
00:20:42,325 --> 00:20:43,243
- No.
504
00:20:48,623 --> 00:20:51,710
- [sighs]
505
00:20:51,751 --> 00:20:54,754
- The police found
the two bodies.
506
00:20:54,796 --> 00:20:57,132
- Yeah, I heard.
507
00:20:57,173 --> 00:20:59,592
- But we're okay, though.
I--they--they questioned me.
508
00:20:59,634 --> 00:21:01,803
I said I didn't know anything,
and they--they bought it.
509
00:21:01,845 --> 00:21:03,471
So we're okay.
510
00:21:03,513 --> 00:21:06,766
- And my biggest project is--
is shut down indefinitely,
511
00:21:06,808 --> 00:21:08,309
maybe permanently
because now it's
512
00:21:08,351 --> 00:21:12,397
an active crime scene,
so I don't know how okay I am.
513
00:21:12,439 --> 00:21:14,607
- They also asked me about
that Morales kid's murder,
514
00:21:14,649 --> 00:21:17,360
and I said I didn't know
anything about that, either.
515
00:21:20,822 --> 00:21:23,199
- Because you don't, right?
516
00:21:24,534 --> 00:21:27,746
- Yeah. Sure.
517
00:21:27,787 --> 00:21:29,080
But my point is,
is that I don't think
518
00:21:29,122 --> 00:21:30,373
they have anything on you.
519
00:21:30,415 --> 00:21:32,000
But just in case, you--
you should make sure
520
00:21:32,042 --> 00:21:34,169
that you cover your tracks,
and I could help.
521
00:21:34,210 --> 00:21:36,338
- See, I don't know what
you're talking about.
522
00:21:36,379 --> 00:21:38,590
I mean, if you're
somehow implying that
523
00:21:38,631 --> 00:21:42,177
I had something to do with
that day laborer's murder...
524
00:21:42,218 --> 00:21:45,430
- No, I--you--
you said that you were
525
00:21:45,472 --> 00:21:46,890
gonna take care of him.
526
00:21:48,933 --> 00:21:52,729
- Yeah, I don't remember
that conversation.
527
00:21:52,771 --> 00:21:55,065
- I hid the bodies
because you asked me to.
528
00:21:57,025 --> 00:21:59,110
So you know you can trust me.
529
00:22:01,363 --> 00:22:03,907
- I'm sorry to hear
you say that, Randall.
530
00:22:03,948 --> 00:22:05,450
- Wait, well, hold--
hold on, hold on.
531
00:22:05,492 --> 00:22:06,826
You don't have
to play tough guy.
532
00:22:06,868 --> 00:22:08,036
- What?
No one's playing tough guy,
533
00:22:08,078 --> 00:22:09,496
but you come into my home,
534
00:22:09,537 --> 00:22:11,831
you start making
ridiculous accusations.
535
00:22:11,873 --> 00:22:13,166
- He's in trouble.
We gotta go in there.
536
00:22:13,208 --> 00:22:14,334
- Wait.
537
00:22:14,376 --> 00:22:15,752
- I just think it's best
if you leave.
538
00:22:15,794 --> 00:22:17,379
- Yeah, it's not a problem.
539
00:22:17,420 --> 00:22:20,340
- And I also think it's best
you find a new job.
540
00:22:20,382 --> 00:22:21,549
- What do you--
541
00:22:21,591 --> 00:22:23,051
- Someone's gotta
be held accountable
542
00:22:23,093 --> 00:22:25,637
for those two deaths.
543
00:22:25,679 --> 00:22:27,013
That someone is you.
544
00:22:29,015 --> 00:22:30,475
Show Randy out.
545
00:22:35,355 --> 00:22:37,232
- Can you zoom in
on the security guard?
546
00:22:37,273 --> 00:22:39,275
- Yeah.
- Small of his back.
547
00:22:40,735 --> 00:22:42,070
- Oh, he's packing.
548
00:22:42,112 --> 00:22:43,571
That looks like a 9 mil.
549
00:22:43,613 --> 00:22:45,824
- Yep.
- Mm-hmm.
550
00:22:48,952 --> 00:22:51,246
- Psst. Hey, Ian. Hey.
551
00:22:51,287 --> 00:22:52,914
No, no, no, no! Police. Police.
552
00:22:52,956 --> 00:22:55,542
Do not do that.
Do not do that.
553
00:22:55,583 --> 00:22:57,961
We have a warrant for that
weapon you're reaching for.
554
00:22:58,003 --> 00:23:00,672
Do yourself a favor,
take your hand away,
555
00:23:00,714 --> 00:23:02,590
and put it above your head.
556
00:23:02,632 --> 00:23:05,969
Do it now, or my partner will
shoot you where you stand.
557
00:23:06,011 --> 00:23:08,263
- Go ahead, sweetheart.
Give me a reason.
558
00:23:08,304 --> 00:23:09,305
- Do it.
559
00:23:09,347 --> 00:23:11,224
[tense music]
560
00:23:11,266 --> 00:23:12,934
Do it now!
561
00:23:12,976 --> 00:23:14,102
- Above your head!
562
00:23:14,144 --> 00:23:15,478
- Interlock your fingers.
563
00:23:15,520 --> 00:23:17,188
Turn around! Turn around!
564
00:23:21,735 --> 00:23:22,819
Ian Belsky,
you're under arrest.
565
00:23:22,861 --> 00:23:24,487
- What for?
566
00:23:24,529 --> 00:23:26,531
- Well, for starters,
possessing a firearm
567
00:23:26,573 --> 00:23:28,033
without a conceal permit.
568
00:23:28,074 --> 00:23:29,492
But once we've run
the ballistics,
569
00:23:29,534 --> 00:23:31,453
I'm sure we'll upgrade
that charge to murder.
570
00:23:31,494 --> 00:23:34,080
* *
571
00:23:39,002 --> 00:23:39,377
.
572
00:23:39,419 --> 00:23:40,628
- Ballistic tests confirm
that your gun was the one
573
00:23:41,338 --> 00:23:43,006
used to kill Mr. Morales.
574
00:23:43,048 --> 00:23:45,091
Police found traces
of Morales's blood
575
00:23:45,133 --> 00:23:47,927
on clothing recovered
from your apartment.
576
00:23:47,969 --> 00:23:51,306
And we can place your car
and your cell phone
577
00:23:51,348 --> 00:23:53,099
near the park at the time
of the murder.
578
00:23:53,141 --> 00:23:55,435
- I assume you brought us here
for more than just
579
00:23:55,477 --> 00:23:56,895
a show and tell.
580
00:23:56,936 --> 00:23:58,688
- When police searched
Mr. Belsky's apartment,
581
00:23:58,730 --> 00:24:02,859
they also found a duffel bag
filled with $100,000 in cash.
582
00:24:05,737 --> 00:24:08,239
If someone paid you
to kill Luis Morales,
583
00:24:08,281 --> 00:24:10,742
we might be able to work out
some sort of an arrangement.
584
00:24:10,784 --> 00:24:12,118
- What kind of arrangement?
585
00:24:12,160 --> 00:24:15,080
- Depending on what he says,
we'd be willing to offer
586
00:24:15,121 --> 00:24:18,333
man one, recommend 20 years.
587
00:24:18,375 --> 00:24:20,710
- [scoffs]
I want ten.
588
00:24:20,752 --> 00:24:24,798
- [laughs]
You're looking at life.
589
00:24:24,839 --> 00:24:26,257
20 is a gift.
590
00:24:26,299 --> 00:24:28,510
- They can't use anything
I say here against me, right?
591
00:24:28,551 --> 00:24:30,095
- That's correct.
592
00:24:30,136 --> 00:24:31,638
- If I keep my mouth shut
and eat the charge,
593
00:24:31,680 --> 00:24:33,598
Eric Wise is gonna
take care of my family.
594
00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:36,559
Only thing he can't offer me
is time, you can.
595
00:24:36,601 --> 00:24:39,604
And if you won't,
I'll take his money.
596
00:24:39,646 --> 00:24:42,065
Ten years or I don't testify.
597
00:24:42,107 --> 00:24:44,901
[tense music]
598
00:24:44,943 --> 00:24:50,073
* *
599
00:24:50,115 --> 00:24:52,409
- Without Belsky, we don't
have a case against Wise.
600
00:24:52,450 --> 00:24:54,285
- Ten years for a
cold-blooded murder?
601
00:24:54,327 --> 00:24:55,829
- I--I get it, but--
602
00:24:55,870 --> 00:24:56,746
- But what?
603
00:24:56,788 --> 00:24:58,581
- Wise ordered the murder.
604
00:24:58,623 --> 00:25:00,792
And he is a threat to society.
605
00:25:00,834 --> 00:25:04,087
He regularly uses
and abuses migrant workers
606
00:25:04,129 --> 00:25:05,755
to build his skyscrapers.
607
00:25:05,797 --> 00:25:08,508
- There have been eight deaths
on Wise City construction sites
608
00:25:08,550 --> 00:25:10,468
over the past two years alone.
609
00:25:10,510 --> 00:25:13,555
- Not counting the two
workers buried in cement?
610
00:25:13,596 --> 00:25:15,515
- And those are just
the ones we know about.
611
00:25:15,557 --> 00:25:17,684
Who knows how many others
he's covered up.
612
00:25:19,477 --> 00:25:23,606
- Unfortunately, the practice
of hiring unskilled workers
613
00:25:23,648 --> 00:25:28,194
is not uncommon nor even
illegal in many instances.
614
00:25:28,236 --> 00:25:29,904
Lots of companies do it.
615
00:25:29,946 --> 00:25:31,698
There was an article
in "The Times"
616
00:25:31,740 --> 00:25:33,658
a couple of months ago
detailing a number
617
00:25:33,700 --> 00:25:35,618
of accidental deaths
618
00:25:35,660 --> 00:25:38,705
on construction sites
all over the city.
619
00:25:38,747 --> 00:25:41,541
- But unlike those developers,
Eric Wise escalated
620
00:25:41,583 --> 00:25:43,043
to straight-up murder.
621
00:25:43,084 --> 00:25:46,629
- Yeah, which means we can
put him away for life.
622
00:25:48,089 --> 00:25:49,758
- If we give Belsky
what he wants,
623
00:25:49,799 --> 00:25:51,760
we need to be sure
his testimony is enough
624
00:25:51,801 --> 00:25:54,387
to get a conviction
against Wise.
625
00:25:54,429 --> 00:25:57,182
- I understand.
626
00:25:57,223 --> 00:25:58,933
- Okay.
627
00:25:58,975 --> 00:25:59,976
Make the deal.
628
00:26:05,315 --> 00:26:10,070
- Mr. Belsky, you admit
to murdering Luis Morales?
629
00:26:10,111 --> 00:26:11,696
- Yes.
630
00:26:11,738 --> 00:26:13,198
I shot him three times.
631
00:26:13,239 --> 00:26:16,534
- And did the defendant,
Eric Wise, pay you to kill him?
632
00:26:16,576 --> 00:26:17,660
- Yes.
633
00:26:17,702 --> 00:26:19,037
He offered me 100 grand
634
00:26:19,079 --> 00:26:21,373
but said it had to be done
that day.
635
00:26:21,414 --> 00:26:23,083
- He say why?
636
00:26:23,124 --> 00:26:24,250
- Apparently,
the kid knew something
637
00:26:24,292 --> 00:26:25,960
he wasn't supposed to.
638
00:26:26,002 --> 00:26:28,588
Wise needed him silenced
before he talked.
639
00:26:28,630 --> 00:26:30,256
- And after you killed
Mr. Morales,
640
00:26:30,298 --> 00:26:33,426
did the defendant pay you
the money he promised?
641
00:26:33,468 --> 00:26:34,719
- Yeah.
642
00:26:34,761 --> 00:26:36,763
The next day,
I went to his apartment,
643
00:26:36,805 --> 00:26:38,890
where he gave me
the money in cash.
644
00:26:38,932 --> 00:26:42,060
- Thank you. Nothing further.
645
00:26:42,102 --> 00:26:44,521
- There's no proof
of this transaction
646
00:26:44,562 --> 00:26:46,606
you claim happened, is there?
647
00:26:46,648 --> 00:26:49,984
No bank statements,
wire transfer logs?
648
00:26:50,026 --> 00:26:52,612
- Like I said,
he paid me in cash.
649
00:26:52,654 --> 00:26:54,739
- Do you know Randall Tully,
650
00:26:54,781 --> 00:26:58,910
the foreman who Luis Morales
caught pouring concrete
651
00:26:58,952 --> 00:27:01,246
over the two
dead construction workers?
652
00:27:01,287 --> 00:27:02,914
- Yeah, I know him.
653
00:27:02,956 --> 00:27:04,290
- You two close?
654
00:27:04,332 --> 00:27:06,710
- I only know him because
we both worked for Wise.
655
00:27:06,751 --> 00:27:08,795
- But Randall Tully
doesn't work
656
00:27:08,837 --> 00:27:11,047
for Mr. Wise anymore, does he?
657
00:27:11,089 --> 00:27:14,134
No, my client fired him
once he learned
658
00:27:14,175 --> 00:27:16,469
of his horrific actions--
659
00:27:16,511 --> 00:27:18,430
attempting to cover up
the accident,
660
00:27:18,471 --> 00:27:20,306
which occurred under
his supervision.
661
00:27:20,348 --> 00:27:21,641
- Objection. Relevance?
662
00:27:21,683 --> 00:27:23,518
- Where is this going,
Mr. Rems?
663
00:27:23,560 --> 00:27:26,104
- Your Honor, as foreman,
Randall Tully
664
00:27:26,146 --> 00:27:29,107
had exclusive access
to a slush fund
665
00:27:29,149 --> 00:27:32,235
to address any issues
that arose on the site.
666
00:27:32,277 --> 00:27:35,488
The defense is entering into
evidence financial records
667
00:27:35,530 --> 00:27:42,203
showing that $100,000
is missing from this account.
668
00:27:42,245 --> 00:27:45,248
Isn't it true, Mr. Belsky,
669
00:27:45,290 --> 00:27:47,667
that it was Randall Tully
who hired you
670
00:27:47,709 --> 00:27:51,504
to kill Luis Morales
to stop him from telling
671
00:27:51,546 --> 00:27:55,050
anyone what he saw Randall do?
672
00:27:55,091 --> 00:27:56,343
- No.
673
00:27:56,384 --> 00:27:57,969
- And isn't it true that
he's agreed to pay you
674
00:27:58,011 --> 00:28:00,847
even more money to point
the finger at my client,
675
00:28:00,889 --> 00:28:03,016
the man who fired him?
676
00:28:03,058 --> 00:28:04,100
- No.
677
00:28:04,142 --> 00:28:07,062
Eric Wise is the one
who hired me.
678
00:28:07,103 --> 00:28:08,521
- Mm-hmm.
679
00:28:08,563 --> 00:28:10,690
[tense music]
680
00:28:10,732 --> 00:28:12,734
Mr. Belsky...
681
00:28:15,028 --> 00:28:17,822
You've admitted
to everyone here
682
00:28:17,864 --> 00:28:20,784
that you murdered someone
for money.
683
00:28:23,119 --> 00:28:26,206
Doesn't it stand to reason
that you'd just as easily
684
00:28:26,247 --> 00:28:28,708
lie for money too?
685
00:28:28,750 --> 00:28:35,340
* *
686
00:28:43,682 --> 00:28:44,057
.
687
00:28:44,099 --> 00:28:45,558
- Tully swears he didn't take
the money out of that account.
688
00:28:47,102 --> 00:28:49,354
But the bank statements
clearly show
689
00:28:49,396 --> 00:28:52,148
he was the authorized user
who withdrew the 100k.
690
00:28:52,190 --> 00:28:54,401
- Is there video
of the transaction?
691
00:28:54,442 --> 00:28:55,860
- It happened over
two months ago.
692
00:28:55,902 --> 00:28:59,823
The bank doesn't keep
video logs going back that far.
693
00:28:59,864 --> 00:29:01,116
Wise is smart.
694
00:29:01,157 --> 00:29:03,827
He must have figured out
some way to withdraw
695
00:29:03,868 --> 00:29:05,620
the money using Tully's card.
696
00:29:05,662 --> 00:29:07,914
- Yeah, or he--or he paid
someone after the fact
697
00:29:07,956 --> 00:29:09,207
to doctor the records.
698
00:29:09,249 --> 00:29:10,917
Either way,
they've given the jury
699
00:29:10,959 --> 00:29:14,671
a credible narrative that
Randall Tully, not Eric Wise,
700
00:29:14,713 --> 00:29:16,047
was behind the murder.
701
00:29:16,089 --> 00:29:18,008
- We can call Tully
to the stand,
702
00:29:18,049 --> 00:29:19,467
have him refute the claim.
703
00:29:19,509 --> 00:29:21,678
- No, given that the defense
has painted him
704
00:29:21,720 --> 00:29:25,432
as a bitter ex-employee with
an axe to grind against Wise,
705
00:29:25,473 --> 00:29:27,851
and the fact the jury's
already heard about him
706
00:29:27,892 --> 00:29:30,145
burying two dead bodies
under the concrete,
707
00:29:30,186 --> 00:29:33,523
I don't think they'll find him
any more credible than Belsky.
708
00:29:33,565 --> 00:29:36,026
We're gonna have to
find something else.
709
00:29:36,067 --> 00:29:37,360
- Hmm.
710
00:29:37,402 --> 00:29:39,112
- Is that a good "hmm"?
711
00:29:39,154 --> 00:29:40,655
- Maybe.
712
00:29:40,697 --> 00:29:44,367
In Cosgrove's arrest report,
he mentions that
713
00:29:44,409 --> 00:29:46,536
Eric Wise's housekeeper
showed the detective
714
00:29:46,578 --> 00:29:50,165
into Wise's office
to make the arrest.
715
00:29:50,206 --> 00:29:52,292
She was also present
when Tully tried
716
00:29:52,334 --> 00:29:54,210
to implicate Wise on the wire.
717
00:29:54,252 --> 00:29:55,378
- What's your point?
718
00:29:55,420 --> 00:29:57,130
- Wise doesn't think
of the people
719
00:29:57,172 --> 00:29:58,715
who work for him
as human beings.
720
00:29:58,757 --> 00:30:01,343
Hell, he doesn't even
think of them at all.
721
00:30:01,384 --> 00:30:05,221
Which makes it easy to
forget that they are people
722
00:30:05,263 --> 00:30:07,140
with thoughts and feelings--
723
00:30:07,182 --> 00:30:09,392
- And ears.
724
00:30:14,439 --> 00:30:17,609
[indistinct chatter]
725
00:30:19,402 --> 00:30:21,154
- Excuse me.
- Yes.
726
00:30:21,196 --> 00:30:23,740
- I'm with the district
attorney's office.
727
00:30:23,782 --> 00:30:25,283
- Well, what do you want?
728
00:30:25,325 --> 00:30:26,910
- I just want to ask you
a few questions
729
00:30:26,951 --> 00:30:29,204
about your boss, Eric Wise.
730
00:30:29,245 --> 00:30:30,789
- I have nothing to say.
731
00:30:32,957 --> 00:30:34,584
- [speaking Arabic]
732
00:30:38,797 --> 00:30:40,173
- We're from Beirut.
733
00:30:40,215 --> 00:30:42,342
- Oh, that's where
my parents are from.
734
00:30:42,384 --> 00:30:45,178
They moved here years ago,
before I was born.
735
00:30:45,220 --> 00:30:47,931
- And now you're a lawyer here?
736
00:30:47,972 --> 00:30:50,183
- Uh-huh.
[chuckles]
737
00:30:50,225 --> 00:30:52,102
- [chuckles]
738
00:30:52,143 --> 00:30:53,770
- Samantha Maroun.
739
00:30:55,730 --> 00:30:56,815
- Soraya Hamoud.
740
00:30:58,983 --> 00:31:00,735
- And I'm Injila.
741
00:31:00,777 --> 00:31:02,320
I like your bag.
742
00:31:04,489 --> 00:31:06,282
- Injila, go upstairs.
743
00:31:06,324 --> 00:31:07,659
I'll be there soon, okay?
744
00:31:12,247 --> 00:31:15,125
- How long have you two
been in the U.S.?
745
00:31:15,166 --> 00:31:17,502
- Almost two years.
746
00:31:17,544 --> 00:31:19,087
I wanted a better life.
747
00:31:19,129 --> 00:31:20,588
- I understand.
748
00:31:23,675 --> 00:31:27,178
You know your boss, Eric Wise,
is on trial, right?
749
00:31:28,596 --> 00:31:30,432
- Yes.
750
00:31:30,473 --> 00:31:32,642
- I need to know if you
ever heard him talking
751
00:31:32,684 --> 00:31:36,354
to his bodyguard, Ian Belsky.
752
00:31:36,396 --> 00:31:39,357
[tense music]
753
00:31:39,399 --> 00:31:46,322
* *
754
00:31:46,364 --> 00:31:47,699
It's okay.
755
00:31:52,787 --> 00:31:56,958
- Mr. Wise likes to act
like I don't exist.
756
00:32:00,420 --> 00:32:02,422
- The day after Morales
was murdered,
757
00:32:02,464 --> 00:32:05,467
Soraya heard Wise tell
Ian Belsky he did a good job
758
00:32:05,508 --> 00:32:07,719
taking care of the problem.
759
00:32:07,761 --> 00:32:10,180
He also told him not to deposit
the 100k he gave him
760
00:32:10,221 --> 00:32:12,098
to avoid a paper trail.
761
00:32:12,140 --> 00:32:13,600
- Sounds good to me.
762
00:32:13,641 --> 00:32:16,853
- But Soraya and her daughter
are here illegally.
763
00:32:16,895 --> 00:32:20,357
She had friends who applied
for H-1 visas and were denied,
764
00:32:20,398 --> 00:32:23,193
and she was scared
it would happen to her too.
765
00:32:23,234 --> 00:32:24,861
- So how did she get here?
766
00:32:24,903 --> 00:32:27,155
- She got a tourist visa,
claimed they were visiting
767
00:32:27,197 --> 00:32:30,909
a cousin and gave a fake
address on the application,
768
00:32:30,950 --> 00:32:34,329
and has been evading
ICE ever since.
769
00:32:34,371 --> 00:32:36,539
- She can still testify.
770
00:32:36,581 --> 00:32:38,875
We don't report
undocumented witnesses
771
00:32:38,917 --> 00:32:40,210
to federal authorities.
772
00:32:40,251 --> 00:32:41,920
- I told her that,
but she's scared.
773
00:32:41,961 --> 00:32:43,088
- Of course.
774
00:32:43,129 --> 00:32:44,381
But we don't have a choice.
775
00:32:44,422 --> 00:32:46,466
We need her testimony.
776
00:32:46,508 --> 00:32:48,677
- Oh, so we use her
777
00:32:48,718 --> 00:32:51,221
like Eric Wise used
undocumented workers
778
00:32:51,262 --> 00:32:53,723
to build his buildings?
779
00:32:53,765 --> 00:32:57,018
This could ruin her life
and her daughter's.
780
00:32:57,060 --> 00:33:00,271
- She attempted
to circumvent the law.
781
00:33:00,313 --> 00:33:04,818
It's not up to us to shield her
from the consequences of that.
782
00:33:04,859 --> 00:33:09,572
We'll do everything we can to
protect her, you have my word.
783
00:33:09,614 --> 00:33:12,200
But we're calling her
to the stand.
784
00:33:12,242 --> 00:33:16,663
* *
785
00:33:21,584 --> 00:33:21,960
.
786
00:33:22,002 --> 00:33:23,086
- Your Honor, we're
having some difficulty
787
00:33:24,212 --> 00:33:25,463
locating our next witness,
Soraya Hamoud.
788
00:33:25,505 --> 00:33:27,632
The People request
a brief continuance
789
00:33:27,674 --> 00:33:29,217
while detectives
track her down.
790
00:33:29,259 --> 00:33:32,137
- The prosecution is
obviously stalling here.
791
00:33:32,178 --> 00:33:35,974
If the state can't make
their case, that's on them.
792
00:33:36,016 --> 00:33:37,934
- I'll give you 24 hours,
Mr. Price.
793
00:33:37,976 --> 00:33:40,103
But tomorrow morning,
the trial will resume
794
00:33:40,145 --> 00:33:41,980
with or without your witness.
795
00:33:42,022 --> 00:33:43,398
I'll see you all then.
[gavel bangs]
796
00:33:43,440 --> 00:33:44,899
We're adjourned.
797
00:33:44,941 --> 00:33:46,568
- Soraya could be anywhere.
798
00:33:46,609 --> 00:33:49,112
For all we know, she's halfway
to California by now.
799
00:33:50,905 --> 00:33:52,699
- We found her.
800
00:33:52,741 --> 00:33:54,075
- That's good news.
801
00:33:54,117 --> 00:33:56,661
- Yeah, well,
I'm not so sure about that.
802
00:33:56,703 --> 00:33:58,038
She's in ICE custody.
803
00:33:58,079 --> 00:33:59,789
Her neighbors said that
they raided her apartment
804
00:33:59,831 --> 00:34:01,583
in the middle of the night.
805
00:34:01,624 --> 00:34:03,043
They took Soraya
and her daughter.
806
00:34:03,084 --> 00:34:06,254
[tense music]
807
00:34:06,296 --> 00:34:07,714
* *
808
00:34:07,756 --> 00:34:10,508
- Son of a bitch
tipped off the Feds.
809
00:34:12,886 --> 00:34:15,055
- Where is Soraya
being detained?
810
00:34:18,141 --> 00:34:20,560
- I'm sorry, the detainee
you're attempting to see
811
00:34:20,602 --> 00:34:21,853
isn't allowed visitors.
812
00:34:21,895 --> 00:34:23,229
If you'd called ahead,
we could have warned you.
813
00:34:23,271 --> 00:34:25,273
- I'm not here
for a visitation.
814
00:34:25,315 --> 00:34:27,984
Soraya Hamoud is a witness
in a murder trial.
815
00:34:28,026 --> 00:34:29,694
We're requesting
that you release her
816
00:34:29,736 --> 00:34:32,655
and her daughter to state
custody so she can testify.
817
00:34:32,697 --> 00:34:34,115
- Not that simple.
818
00:34:34,157 --> 00:34:36,910
- There are allowances
for instances where
819
00:34:36,951 --> 00:34:39,079
a witness is necessary or--
- There are.
820
00:34:39,120 --> 00:34:40,955
But I can't just let her go.
821
00:34:40,997 --> 00:34:42,957
You need to file
the necessary paperwork.
822
00:34:42,999 --> 00:34:45,085
- By the time I do that,
she'll be back in Lebanon.
823
00:34:45,126 --> 00:34:46,503
- Sorry. Nothing I can do.
824
00:34:46,544 --> 00:34:48,296
- You may want
to rethink that statement
825
00:34:48,338 --> 00:34:50,548
if you want me
to keep my mouth shut.
826
00:34:50,590 --> 00:34:57,472
* *
827
00:34:57,514 --> 00:34:58,807
- Excuse me?
828
00:34:58,848 --> 00:35:00,684
- I have a big mouth,
Mr. Garson.
829
00:35:00,725 --> 00:35:02,018
A really big mouth.
830
00:35:02,060 --> 00:35:04,479
And I can get really loud, too,
831
00:35:04,521 --> 00:35:06,314
especially when I know about
a federal agency
832
00:35:06,356 --> 00:35:08,942
aiding and abetting a murderer.
833
00:35:11,820 --> 00:35:14,155
- They took Injila
away from me.
834
00:35:14,197 --> 00:35:15,782
I--I don't know where she is.
835
00:35:15,824 --> 00:35:17,325
- She's here.
836
00:35:17,367 --> 00:35:19,452
She's being held
with other children her age,
837
00:35:19,494 --> 00:35:21,079
but she is safe.
838
00:35:21,121 --> 00:35:22,831
- I need to see her.
839
00:35:22,872 --> 00:35:23,832
I need my daughter.
840
00:35:23,873 --> 00:35:25,000
- I will talk to them.
841
00:35:25,041 --> 00:35:28,086
- We can't go back to Lebanon.
842
00:35:28,128 --> 00:35:29,504
We have nothing there.
843
00:35:29,546 --> 00:35:33,341
Her life--
- I've arranged a deal.
844
00:35:33,383 --> 00:35:35,510
If you agree to testify
against Wise,
845
00:35:35,552 --> 00:35:37,470
they'll keep you
and your daughter in custody,
846
00:35:37,512 --> 00:35:40,598
but they'll postpone
your removal hearings
847
00:35:40,640 --> 00:35:42,434
until after the trial is over.
848
00:35:43,685 --> 00:35:48,606
- So you get what you need,
but what about us?
849
00:35:48,648 --> 00:35:51,109
- Well, the delay
will buy us some time
850
00:35:51,151 --> 00:35:53,319
to figure out
how to keep you here.
851
00:35:53,361 --> 00:35:55,363
My boss is the
district attorney.
852
00:35:55,405 --> 00:35:57,365
He has some sway.
853
00:35:57,407 --> 00:36:00,660
And your assistance
in a high-profile case
854
00:36:00,702 --> 00:36:03,913
will help us argue
you should be allowed to stay.
855
00:36:05,832 --> 00:36:08,460
There's still hope.
856
00:36:08,501 --> 00:36:10,378
Trust me.
857
00:36:10,420 --> 00:36:17,344
* *
858
00:36:19,137 --> 00:36:22,223
- Ms. Hamoud, could you
please tell the court
859
00:36:22,265 --> 00:36:24,100
about the conversation
you overheard
860
00:36:24,142 --> 00:36:26,519
between the defendant
and Ian Belsky
861
00:36:26,561 --> 00:36:29,773
on the afternoon of
Thursday, November 10?
862
00:36:29,814 --> 00:36:32,275
- They were in his office.
863
00:36:32,317 --> 00:36:35,278
Mr. Wise had me bring whiskey.
864
00:36:35,320 --> 00:36:37,906
I remember thinking it
was early to be drinking,
865
00:36:37,947 --> 00:36:41,534
but they were
celebrating something.
866
00:36:41,576 --> 00:36:43,286
Mr. Wise made a toast.
867
00:36:43,328 --> 00:36:45,663
- Do you know what it was
they were celebrating?
868
00:36:45,705 --> 00:36:47,082
- I didn't at the time.
869
00:36:47,123 --> 00:36:51,127
But Mr. Wise
thanked Mr. Belsky,
870
00:36:51,169 --> 00:36:55,382
said he did a good job
taking care of his problem.
871
00:36:55,423 --> 00:36:59,594
- Did you hear him
say anything else?
872
00:36:59,636 --> 00:37:01,805
- He told him to be careful
with the money
873
00:37:01,846 --> 00:37:04,140
he had given him.
874
00:37:04,182 --> 00:37:07,560
He said that
if Mr. Belsky deposited
875
00:37:07,602 --> 00:37:13,274
$100,000 in his bank account,
it would be suspicious.
876
00:37:13,316 --> 00:37:16,236
He told him not to spend it
877
00:37:16,277 --> 00:37:18,238
on something
extravagant, either.
878
00:37:18,279 --> 00:37:20,740
- Did you notice
anything unusual
879
00:37:20,782 --> 00:37:23,785
when Mr. Belsky left
the apartment that afternoon?
880
00:37:23,827 --> 00:37:25,286
- Yes.
881
00:37:25,328 --> 00:37:29,708
He left with a piece
of luggage, a small bag.
882
00:37:29,749 --> 00:37:33,128
There is a word for it. Uh.
883
00:37:33,169 --> 00:37:35,046
- Duffel bag?
- Yes, that's it.
884
00:37:35,088 --> 00:37:38,091
He did not have it
when he arrived.
885
00:37:39,926 --> 00:37:41,803
- Thank you.
886
00:37:41,845 --> 00:37:43,013
Nothing further, Your Honor.
887
00:37:51,813 --> 00:37:56,484
- You're asking us
to believe that my client
888
00:37:56,526 --> 00:38:01,698
said all of these incredibly
incriminating things
889
00:38:01,740 --> 00:38:04,367
right in front of you?
890
00:38:04,409 --> 00:38:10,331
- Mr. Wise never really thought
about where I was or wasn't.
891
00:38:10,373 --> 00:38:13,835
Most of the time,
he forgot I was even there.
892
00:38:13,877 --> 00:38:20,675
* *
893
00:38:26,222 --> 00:38:29,100
- Ms. Hamoud,
894
00:38:29,142 --> 00:38:32,479
are you a legal resident
of the United States?
895
00:38:34,147 --> 00:38:36,775
- No, I am not.
896
00:38:36,816 --> 00:38:40,445
- So you're here illegally?
897
00:38:40,487 --> 00:38:41,988
- Yes.
898
00:38:42,030 --> 00:38:46,701
- In fact, you're currently in
federal custody, aren't you?
899
00:38:46,743 --> 00:38:48,411
- Yes.
900
00:38:48,453 --> 00:38:52,540
- Ms. Hamoud, did the
district attorney's office
901
00:38:52,582 --> 00:38:56,336
offer you a deal to stay
in this country in exchange
902
00:38:56,378 --> 00:39:00,173
for testifying
against my client?
903
00:39:00,215 --> 00:39:02,133
- They said they would help.
904
00:39:02,175 --> 00:39:03,802
- No further questions,
Your Honor.
905
00:39:03,843 --> 00:39:08,056
- But I would have testified
even if they didn't.
906
00:39:08,098 --> 00:39:09,849
- Your Honor.
907
00:39:11,518 --> 00:39:15,063
- I left where I'm from
908
00:39:15,105 --> 00:39:19,275
because powerful people abused
909
00:39:19,317 --> 00:39:23,029
and oppressed people like me.
910
00:39:23,071 --> 00:39:28,702
I came here because I believed
this country was better,
911
00:39:28,743 --> 00:39:32,789
that there was more opportunity
here for people like me.
912
00:39:35,458 --> 00:39:38,044
And I still believe that.
913
00:39:38,086 --> 00:39:41,172
[dramatic music]
914
00:39:41,214 --> 00:39:48,346
* *
915
00:39:59,274 --> 00:40:02,944
- Will the defendant
please rise?
916
00:40:02,986 --> 00:40:06,948
Madam Foreperson, has the
jury reached the verdict?
917
00:40:06,990 --> 00:40:09,451
- We have, Your Honor.
918
00:40:09,492 --> 00:40:12,245
In the charge of murder
in the first degree,
919
00:40:12,287 --> 00:40:15,206
we find the defendant,
Eric Wise...
920
00:40:15,248 --> 00:40:16,791
guilty.
921
00:40:16,833 --> 00:40:23,798
* *
922
00:40:30,930 --> 00:40:32,349
- Okay, thank you so much.
923
00:40:32,390 --> 00:40:34,225
- Ms. Maroun.
924
00:40:34,267 --> 00:40:35,685
- Good news.
925
00:40:35,727 --> 00:40:37,979
I just found an amazing
immigration lawyer.
926
00:40:38,021 --> 00:40:39,856
- It's too late.
927
00:40:39,898 --> 00:40:41,149
- What do you mean?
928
00:40:41,191 --> 00:40:43,526
- Soraya's hearing
was yesterday.
929
00:40:43,568 --> 00:40:45,028
- What?
930
00:40:45,070 --> 00:40:47,822
They said they would wait
until after the trial was over.
931
00:40:47,864 --> 00:40:49,324
- They lied.
932
00:40:49,366 --> 00:40:50,700
- Well, that's disgusting.
933
00:40:50,742 --> 00:40:52,160
- It sure is.
934
00:40:52,202 --> 00:40:55,830
- Well, then--then we
file a petition,
935
00:40:55,872 --> 00:40:58,875
figure out how
to reverse the decision.
936
00:40:58,917 --> 00:41:00,669
- They're gone.
937
00:41:00,710 --> 00:41:03,672
Soraya and her daughter
are back in Lebanon.
938
00:41:03,713 --> 00:41:10,637
* *
939
00:41:12,931 --> 00:41:14,599
- Excuse me.
940
00:41:29,406 --> 00:41:32,367

941
00:41:32,409 --> 00:41:39,541
