1
00:00:06,687 --> 00:00:08,416
In the criminal justice system
2
00:00:08,489 --> 00:00:12,391
the people are represented by two
separate yet equally important groups,
3
00:00:12,460 --> 00:00:14,257
the police
who investigate crime
4
00:00:14,328 --> 00:00:17,126
and the district attorneys
who prosecute the offenders.
5
00:00:17,198 --> 00:00:19,189
These are their stories.
6
00:00:27,208 --> 00:00:29,836
Look at it.
Right there.
7
00:00:30,678 --> 00:00:32,009
Please, Mark.
Can we just go up?
8
00:00:32,079 --> 00:00:33,569
Well, I gotta see
how deep it is.
9
00:00:33,648 --> 00:00:35,946
Okay, you're right.
So the big, bad parking attendant
10
00:00:36,017 --> 00:00:38,611
put a teeny, little scratch
on your beautiful new car.
11
00:00:38,686 --> 00:00:40,051
Now get over it.
12
00:00:40,121 --> 00:00:41,645
I understand accidents happen.
13
00:00:41,722 --> 00:00:43,087
I just wish they
wouldn't lie about it.
14
00:00:43,157 --> 00:00:46,524
I told you we should have taken a cab.
Now come on.
15
00:00:49,030 --> 00:00:51,498
What's that smell?
Firecrackers?
16
00:00:52,833 --> 00:00:55,165
That's Shelly's car.
What's she doing parked there?
17
00:00:55,236 --> 00:00:56,795
She probably has packages.
18
00:00:56,872 --> 00:00:58,703
Yeah, but she knows she's
not supposed to park there.
19
00:00:58,774 --> 00:01:00,401
Why not? You park there
when you have packages.
20
00:01:00,475 --> 00:01:01,874
Mmm.
21
00:01:03,611 --> 00:01:05,943
Oh, Mark, look.
Oh, my God.
22
00:01:07,048 --> 00:01:10,575
They found her around 8:45.
They could still smell the gunpowder.
23
00:01:10,651 --> 00:01:12,846
They know her?
They live down the hall.
24
00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:16,117
Shelly Ganz. 33.
She's some kind of financial planner.
25
00:01:16,190 --> 00:01:17,851
Is there a Mr. Ganz?
She's divorced.
26
00:01:17,925 --> 00:01:19,085
They said she lives
with her parents.
27
00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:20,559
They're in Connecticut
for the week.
28
00:01:20,628 --> 00:01:22,323
Find their number.
29
00:01:22,396 --> 00:01:25,729
That's a hell of a way
to treat a camel hair coat.
30
00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:27,597
Shotgun. One round.
31
00:01:27,802 --> 00:01:29,235
I make it from
about a foot away
32
00:01:29,303 --> 00:01:31,897
from the burn marks
and the spread pattern.
33
00:01:32,006 --> 00:01:34,031
What's in the trunk?
Groceries.
34
00:01:34,108 --> 00:01:36,133
Cash and credit cards
are still in her purse.
35
00:01:36,210 --> 00:01:39,839
So, she pulls in, pops the
trunk, steps out... Hello.
36
00:01:40,248 --> 00:01:41,943
The shot came
from this direction.
37
00:01:42,016 --> 00:01:44,314
The shooter might have been
hiding behind those pipes.
38
00:01:44,385 --> 00:01:47,752
We got shoe prints in the
grease there and one here.
39
00:01:47,822 --> 00:01:49,551
Size nine-and-a-half
work boot.
40
00:01:49,624 --> 00:01:52,388
Well, that rules out
Shaquille. Thanks.
41
00:01:52,493 --> 00:01:54,154
I took out the trash around 7:00.
42
00:01:54,228 --> 00:01:57,322
It was the last time I came down here until Mr.
Poletti buzzed me.
43
00:01:57,398 --> 00:01:58,956
Have you noticed anyone
hanging around the building?
44
00:01:59,033 --> 00:02:00,330
No. Nobody.
45
00:02:00,434 --> 00:02:02,095
Has anybody been working
over by those pipes?
46
00:02:02,169 --> 00:02:03,932
No.
Who all parks down here?
47
00:02:04,005 --> 00:02:05,199
Just the people who
live in the co-op?
48
00:02:05,273 --> 00:02:06,865
Yes. But there's not
enough parking spaces.
49
00:02:06,941 --> 00:02:08,408
Some of them have to
park on the street.
50
00:02:08,476 --> 00:02:10,910
What about that security gate over there?
Is that usually closed?
51
00:02:10,978 --> 00:02:13,845
Yes. You open it with a pass card.
But any credit card will do.
52
00:02:13,914 --> 00:02:14,938
It was like our little secret.
53
00:02:15,016 --> 00:02:16,210
Not anymore.
Okay, you take that,
54
00:02:16,284 --> 00:02:17,945
you give me a call, you remember
anything else, all right?
55
00:02:18,019 --> 00:02:19,043
Yeah.
56
00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:22,080
One shot to the back.
No robbery, no sexual assault.
57
00:02:22,156 --> 00:02:23,248
You know what this looks like.
58
00:02:23,324 --> 00:02:25,451
Yeah. Looks like somebody
gets a parking space.
59
00:03:18,379 --> 00:03:20,244
I don't understand it.
60
00:03:22,216 --> 00:03:24,946
Shelly didn't have
an enemy in the world.
61
00:03:25,019 --> 00:03:29,115
She volunteered at a food
bank for the homeless.
62
00:03:29,790 --> 00:03:31,951
She did walkathons for AIDS.
63
00:03:32,860 --> 00:03:34,487
She was always helping people.
64
00:03:35,863 --> 00:03:37,626
It just doesn't make any sense.
65
00:03:39,233 --> 00:03:41,064
We were told
she'd been married.
66
00:03:41,135 --> 00:03:44,662
Yes. She was divorced almost
a year and a half ago.
67
00:03:45,373 --> 00:03:47,739
That's when she
moved in with us.
68
00:03:47,808 --> 00:03:49,708
We're gonna need her
ex-husband's address.
69
00:03:49,777 --> 00:03:51,438
He lives in Utah.
70
00:03:51,812 --> 00:03:53,245
Any problems with him?
71
00:03:53,314 --> 00:03:57,580
No. They spoke together once or
twice, maybe, in the last year.
72
00:03:58,018 --> 00:03:59,542
Was she seeing anyone recently?
73
00:03:59,653 --> 00:04:02,383
Yes. There was someone
she met at work,
74
00:04:03,057 --> 00:04:07,187
Peter something.
She said he was nice.
75
00:04:07,828 --> 00:04:10,991
Peter Messina.
They broke up a couple of weeks ago.
76
00:04:11,065 --> 00:04:12,863
She was pretty hurt.
77
00:04:13,201 --> 00:04:15,635
She was working up
to telling you.
78
00:04:15,704 --> 00:04:18,002
He doesn't work for
that firm anymore.
79
00:04:18,073 --> 00:04:21,167
Shelly said that he left
after they broke up.
80
00:04:22,844 --> 00:04:24,744
We're ready for
the identification.
81
00:04:27,048 --> 00:04:28,982
Maybe I should just go.
No.
82
00:04:29,050 --> 00:04:31,610
No, I want to see Shelly.
83
00:04:36,491 --> 00:04:38,823
I haven't talked to Shelly since
I left Danielson and Quirk.
84
00:04:38,894 --> 00:04:41,089
You just stopped
seeing each other cold turkey?
85
00:04:41,163 --> 00:04:43,996
Right, that's how mature
people handle it.
86
00:04:44,132 --> 00:04:46,362
Getting yourself fired,
that's very mature.
87
00:04:46,435 --> 00:04:47,959
It was my decision to leave.
88
00:04:48,804 --> 00:04:50,066
We're all ears.
89
00:04:51,706 --> 00:04:54,436
Shelly found out I was sleeping
with her mutual fund analyst.
90
00:04:55,777 --> 00:04:59,440
You burn the midnight oil in my line of work.
You date what's handy.
91
00:04:59,514 --> 00:05:00,947
Anyway, it was time
to get out of Dodge.
92
00:05:01,016 --> 00:05:04,315
Yeah, well, just for drill, cowboy,
where were you last night?
93
00:05:04,386 --> 00:05:06,047
Home, with a cold.
94
00:05:06,254 --> 00:05:08,415
I ordered some hot and sour
from Szechwan Village.
95
00:05:08,490 --> 00:05:11,550
So, it was just you, a bowl of
soup and the mutual fund analyst?
96
00:05:11,626 --> 00:05:15,084
No. She broke up with me
after she heard about Shelly.
97
00:05:16,063 --> 00:05:18,031
In his short, brilliant career here,
98
00:05:18,098 --> 00:05:20,589
Peter cut a wide swath
through the office pool.
99
00:05:20,668 --> 00:05:21,896
He saw the writing on the wall.
100
00:05:21,969 --> 00:05:23,459
Nobody had to nudge him
toward the exit.
101
00:05:24,171 --> 00:05:26,901
And after he left, it was
one big happy family again?
102
00:05:26,974 --> 00:05:30,273
Yes. Boy toys aren't worth
fighting over, Detective.
103
00:05:30,411 --> 00:05:32,276
Can you think of anyone
who'd want to hurt Shelly?
104
00:05:33,147 --> 00:05:36,480
No. Shelly was one of the nicest
people who ever worked for me.
105
00:05:36,550 --> 00:05:38,882
Nobody had a beef with her?
Maybe she forgot
106
00:05:38,953 --> 00:05:40,978
to say hello to
the mail-room boy?
107
00:05:41,055 --> 00:05:45,014
There was one thorn in her side.
She was treasurer of her parents' co-op.
108
00:05:45,092 --> 00:05:47,151
Every other week she got a
nasty call from someone
109
00:05:47,228 --> 00:05:48,456
about co-op business.
110
00:05:48,529 --> 00:05:52,523
For example? You name it.
Contractors, repairmen, owners,
111
00:05:52,601 --> 00:05:54,330
people who would like
to become owners.
112
00:05:54,402 --> 00:05:56,165
How bad did the calls get?
113
00:05:56,238 --> 00:05:58,172
She said she was
threatened a few times.
114
00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:00,834
It's the nineties.
People play rough.
115
00:06:04,079 --> 00:06:07,708
Our last treasurer, Mr.
Fields, passed away about a year ago. He was 80.
116
00:06:07,782 --> 00:06:11,650
It took Shelly, oh, a good month
working with the auditors
117
00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:13,688
to get the books
back into shape.
118
00:06:13,755 --> 00:06:15,916
What other kinds of
things did she do?
119
00:06:16,024 --> 00:06:19,050
Oh, she kept track of the
maintenance, she paid the taxes,
120
00:06:19,127 --> 00:06:21,652
she interviewed
prospective buyers.
121
00:06:22,364 --> 00:06:26,425
We relied on her for everything.
She did a wonderful job.
122
00:06:27,068 --> 00:06:29,195
She screened
prospective buyers?
123
00:06:29,271 --> 00:06:32,035
Yes, well, we can't let
just anyone move in.
124
00:06:32,340 --> 00:06:35,036
The board does vote
on every prospect.
125
00:06:35,143 --> 00:06:38,169
And she'd break the news
to the people you turned down?
126
00:06:38,246 --> 00:06:41,340
Yes. She said some people would
not take no for an answer.
127
00:06:41,416 --> 00:06:44,214
Do you happen to remember who
any of those people were?
128
00:06:44,286 --> 00:06:46,049
No, she never mentioned any...
129
00:06:46,121 --> 00:06:48,248
Oh, my God. Oh, my God.
You don't think that...
130
00:06:48,323 --> 00:06:51,486
Are the applications
still in the co-op records?
131
00:06:52,327 --> 00:06:54,625
Yes, but those records
are confidential.
132
00:06:54,696 --> 00:06:58,257
Mrs. Keenan, they might help
us to find Shelly's killer.
133
00:06:59,768 --> 00:07:02,498
Well, I suppose it
wouldn't do any harm.
134
00:07:04,072 --> 00:07:06,472
The sad thing is, Detective,
this is just the kind of thing
135
00:07:06,541 --> 00:07:09,305
that I would have asked
Shelly's advice about.
136
00:07:10,145 --> 00:07:13,239
Profaci checked with the doorman
at the boyfriend's building.
137
00:07:13,315 --> 00:07:15,078
He logged in a Chinese delivery
138
00:07:15,150 --> 00:07:17,448
at about 7:30 on
the night of the murder.
139
00:07:17,619 --> 00:07:21,316
Too bad. I would have loved
nailing the boy toy. So to speak.
140
00:07:21,389 --> 00:07:23,856
And Forensics ID'd
the shoe print as coming
141
00:07:23,924 --> 00:07:26,449
from a Danner work boot
with Vibram soles.
142
00:07:26,527 --> 00:07:30,089
So, unless somebody put down their
shoe size on their application...
143
00:07:30,165 --> 00:07:31,632
Yeah, they put
down everything but.
144
00:07:31,700 --> 00:07:33,634
You'd have to be a saint
to get into this place.
145
00:07:33,702 --> 00:07:35,499
Or at least not Puerto Rican.
146
00:07:35,570 --> 00:07:38,937
They turned down the Vegas,
the Lopezes, the Castillos...
147
00:07:39,007 --> 00:07:40,304
Mmm-hmm.
I get the idea.
148
00:07:40,375 --> 00:07:41,637
We have
a Mr. Hoffman
149
00:07:41,710 --> 00:07:44,440
who claimed on his application
that he was single,
150
00:07:44,512 --> 00:07:48,039
but Shelly Ganz found out he had an
ex-wife and two kids in New Jersey.
151
00:07:48,116 --> 00:07:51,051
He was buying a co-op with
undeclared marital property?
152
00:07:51,119 --> 00:07:54,111
Not to mention the 50 grand
he owes in child support.
153
00:07:54,189 --> 00:07:56,419
Maybe Ganz threatened
to report him.
154
00:07:56,524 --> 00:07:58,719
I was turned down because
I run this establishment.
155
00:07:58,793 --> 00:08:01,023
Only 10 adult bookstores
left in Times Square,
156
00:08:01,096 --> 00:08:02,791
and I'm the only owner
born in this country.
157
00:08:02,864 --> 00:08:06,061
Well, I hate to burst your red,
white and blue bubble, Mr. Hoffman,
158
00:08:06,134 --> 00:08:08,762
but you were turned down because
you lied on your application.
159
00:08:08,837 --> 00:08:11,305
I told them I was in
the entertainment business.
160
00:08:11,373 --> 00:08:14,069
You see these videos?
That's entertainment.
161
00:08:14,142 --> 00:08:16,303
I don't see Hello, Dolly!
Up there.
162
00:08:16,511 --> 00:08:19,844
Shelly Ganz found out you were
hiding money from your ex.
163
00:08:20,281 --> 00:08:21,578
She did?
164
00:08:21,650 --> 00:08:23,641
This is news to you?
Yeah.
165
00:08:23,718 --> 00:08:26,516
She must have called my
ex-wife, that little bitch.
166
00:08:26,588 --> 00:08:29,785
That application was confidential.
I'm gonna sue.
167
00:08:29,858 --> 00:08:31,348
Don't bother.
168
00:08:32,727 --> 00:08:34,752
Goes to show, no good
deed goes unpunished.
169
00:08:34,829 --> 00:08:37,821
Yeah. One man's do-gooder
is another man's busybody.
170
00:08:37,999 --> 00:08:40,229
I mean, being treasurer,
she knew everybody's business.
171
00:08:40,301 --> 00:08:43,031
Maybe not everyone in the building
is sorry to see she's gone.
172
00:08:43,805 --> 00:08:47,969
Here we are. I hope I made
it strong enough for you.
173
00:08:48,043 --> 00:08:50,807
Now, is there anything else
I can get for you?
174
00:08:50,879 --> 00:08:53,848
Well, maybe just a blood
pressure monitor. Oh, you.
175
00:08:53,915 --> 00:08:55,644
Mrs. Keenan,
I noticed the co-op
176
00:08:55,717 --> 00:08:57,651
is a secondary lender
on some of the units.
177
00:08:57,719 --> 00:08:59,744
Well, yes. Our old
treasurer, Mr. Fields,
178
00:08:59,821 --> 00:09:01,686
approved mortgage loans
for our residents.
179
00:09:01,756 --> 00:09:05,158
But Shelly put a stop to that.
She thought it was financially unsound.
180
00:09:05,227 --> 00:09:06,694
I can see why.
Some of your neighbors
181
00:09:06,762 --> 00:09:08,252
are delinquent
on their payments.
182
00:09:08,330 --> 00:09:11,390
Yes. We told Shelly to do
whatever she thought best.
183
00:09:11,467 --> 00:09:14,436
Yeah. Looks like the people
in 3-D are feeling the heat.
184
00:09:14,570 --> 00:09:16,299
Ah, yes.
The Tashjians.
185
00:09:16,372 --> 00:09:18,840
They wanted Shelly's help
getting a loan someplace.
186
00:09:18,908 --> 00:09:21,638
Yeah. There's a letter
here asking her approval
187
00:09:21,711 --> 00:09:24,874
to use their co-op as collateral,
but I don't see an answer.
188
00:09:24,947 --> 00:09:27,438
Well, I don't know
what Shelly decided.
189
00:09:27,516 --> 00:09:29,210
Maybe the loan company does.
190
00:09:33,388 --> 00:09:35,583
Mr. Russo will be back in
the office this afternoon.
191
00:09:35,657 --> 00:09:36,988
You should really talk to him.
192
00:09:37,058 --> 00:09:39,253
Oh, we'll have more
fun talking to you.
193
00:09:39,327 --> 00:09:41,420
We just want to know
about the Tashjian loan.
194
00:09:41,496 --> 00:09:42,929
Loan information
is confidential.
195
00:09:42,997 --> 00:09:44,157
Yeah, you know,
we hear that a lot.
196
00:09:44,232 --> 00:09:46,427
But most of the time
it's just not true.
197
00:09:46,501 --> 00:09:48,833
If you could just
pull their file.
198
00:09:50,805 --> 00:09:53,774
You ask the questions.
If I can answer them, I will.
199
00:09:55,143 --> 00:09:59,341
Whoa! That's quite a brick.
The Tashjians long-time customers?
200
00:09:59,414 --> 00:10:02,577
Uh, they've had a loan
with us since 1995.
201
00:10:02,650 --> 00:10:04,743
For how much?
1.2 million.
202
00:10:04,819 --> 00:10:06,616
Really? What did they
do with all that money?
203
00:10:06,688 --> 00:10:09,714
They own an ad agency.
They pay employees, freelancers,
204
00:10:09,791 --> 00:10:13,022
commercial production houses, anything
as it pertains to their business.
205
00:10:13,094 --> 00:10:15,528
We understand they were
applying for a new loan?
206
00:10:16,598 --> 00:10:19,897
Actually, they're renegotiating
the terms of this loan.
207
00:10:19,968 --> 00:10:21,401
They're behind on repaying it.
208
00:10:21,469 --> 00:10:22,834
Seems to be their habit.
209
00:10:22,904 --> 00:10:25,372
They wanted to use their co-op
as collateral, is that right?
210
00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:28,375
Yes, but they're waiting for approval
from their co-op's treasurer.
211
00:10:28,443 --> 00:10:30,741
Shelly Ganz?
Uh, yes.
212
00:10:31,212 --> 00:10:32,645
They were supposed to
get it three weeks ago.
213
00:10:32,714 --> 00:10:35,877
And if it doesn't come through?
We call in the loan.
214
00:10:37,018 --> 00:10:39,816
Shelly told us there was a problem
because of the co-op bylaws,
215
00:10:39,888 --> 00:10:41,549
but she said she'd run
it by the board again.
216
00:10:41,623 --> 00:10:43,251
Maybe you thought
she was the problem.
217
00:10:43,325 --> 00:10:46,385
The way we heard it, the board
rubber-stamped everything she told them.
218
00:10:46,462 --> 00:10:50,364
Okay, I confess.
I killed Shelly.
219
00:10:51,233 --> 00:10:53,701
Then I was going to kill
everyone on the board,
220
00:10:53,769 --> 00:10:58,763
get myself elected and rewrite the bylaws.
Makes a lot of sense.
221
00:10:59,141 --> 00:11:01,006
Very funny. Humor us some more, Mr.
Tashjian.
222
00:11:02,178 --> 00:11:04,339
Where were you Monday night?
I got home about 6:30.
223
00:11:04,413 --> 00:11:05,812
I was on the phone with clients
224
00:11:05,881 --> 00:11:07,212
until I heard
the sirens outside.
225
00:11:07,283 --> 00:11:09,308
You were by yourself?
Yes. My wife was at the gym.
226
00:11:09,385 --> 00:11:10,374
What's going on, Steven?
227
00:11:10,452 --> 00:11:13,944
These are New York City police detectives, Susan.
I'll explain in the car.
228
00:11:14,023 --> 00:11:15,354
Is this your parking space?
229
00:11:15,424 --> 00:11:17,517
When someone's not
using it. Why?
230
00:11:17,593 --> 00:11:19,083
Shelly Ganz was
shot right here.
231
00:11:20,296 --> 00:11:21,285
We know.
232
00:11:22,398 --> 00:11:23,831
It's been nice talking to you.
233
00:11:34,709 --> 00:11:38,839
You thinking what I'm thinking?
Those cars look alike.
234
00:11:39,714 --> 00:11:42,649
She's got the same color
hair, same age, same build.
235
00:11:42,717 --> 00:11:44,776
Easy to mistake
one for the other.
236
00:11:44,853 --> 00:11:47,287
Hey, in this light
I'm lucky I recognize you.
237
00:11:51,492 --> 00:11:54,723
This is Susan Tashjian's
driver's license photo,
238
00:11:54,796 --> 00:11:56,889
and this is Shelly Ganz.
239
00:11:57,465 --> 00:12:00,195
Hmm. There's
a resemblance.
240
00:12:00,802 --> 00:12:03,327
So somebody wanted
Mrs. Tashjian dead
241
00:12:03,404 --> 00:12:05,702
and hired somebody who'd
never seen her to kill her.
242
00:12:05,773 --> 00:12:07,297
Is this what I'm hearing?
243
00:12:07,375 --> 00:12:10,173
The shooter sees
a dark-colored luxury import
244
00:12:10,245 --> 00:12:13,737
roll into Susan Tashjian's parking spot.
A brunette gets out.
245
00:12:13,815 --> 00:12:16,579
Now, he's not going to ask her for
ID before pulling the trigger.
246
00:12:16,651 --> 00:12:19,347
Well, what happened to Steven
Tashjian killing the girl?
247
00:12:19,420 --> 00:12:22,948
Well, LUDs confirms that he was on the
phone when the shooting happened.
248
00:12:23,025 --> 00:12:25,459
Anyway, killing Ganz doesn't
get him the instant jackpot.
249
00:12:25,527 --> 00:12:29,156
On the other hand, having his wife
clipped might be the way to go.
250
00:12:29,231 --> 00:12:32,598
If there's a nice, fat insurance
policy at the end of the rainbow.
251
00:12:32,668 --> 00:12:35,102
Well, if they have insurance,
they have premiums.
252
00:12:35,170 --> 00:12:38,003
The Tashjians use an outside
bookkeeper to pay their bills.
253
00:12:41,944 --> 00:12:44,538
They've been clients for the last seven years.
It's been quite a ride.
254
00:12:44,613 --> 00:12:46,843
Yeah, mostly downhill,
from what we hear.
255
00:12:46,916 --> 00:12:49,714
They won this big luxury car
account a couple of years ago.
256
00:12:49,785 --> 00:12:53,516
They took out a business loan, moved
to a new building, buy new equipment.
257
00:12:53,589 --> 00:12:54,578
So far, so good.
258
00:12:54,657 --> 00:12:56,955
Yes, well, the bottom fell out
of the luxury car market.
259
00:12:57,026 --> 00:12:59,688
The company cut back on advertising.
The Tashjians lost the account.
260
00:13:00,029 --> 00:13:01,860
But they still have
to pay back the loan.
261
00:13:02,598 --> 00:13:06,364
Here we go. There are two yearly premiums
to the Dominion Insurance Company.
262
00:13:06,435 --> 00:13:08,494
One for Steven's policy
and one for Susan's.
263
00:13:08,570 --> 00:13:10,094
We're going to need those
policy numbers, all right?
264
00:13:10,172 --> 00:13:12,572
Yeah, they're on
the check stubs.
265
00:13:13,909 --> 00:13:16,742
Correct me if
I'm wrong, but, um,
266
00:13:16,812 --> 00:13:19,042
do you suspect Steven
of wanting to hurt Susan?
267
00:13:19,782 --> 00:13:21,977
You've known them longer than we have.
Do you think it's possible?
268
00:13:22,051 --> 00:13:24,042
Well, the last time they came
in to do their quarterlies,
269
00:13:24,119 --> 00:13:27,418
they barely spoke to each other.
But I'm no marriage counselor.
270
00:13:28,691 --> 00:13:33,128
Susan Tashjian's got a $300,000
policy payable to her husband.
271
00:13:33,228 --> 00:13:36,425
He has got a $500,000
policy payable to her.
272
00:13:36,632 --> 00:13:39,624
So she's got 200,000
better reasons to kill him.
273
00:13:39,702 --> 00:13:41,293
Yeah, unless the shooter is Mr.
Magoo,
274
00:13:41,369 --> 00:13:44,634
I doubt he mistook Shelly
Ganz for Steven Tashjian.
275
00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:48,837
This whole notion that my husband
killed Shelly Ganz is absurd.
276
00:13:48,910 --> 00:13:50,207
Well, we happen to agree.
277
00:13:50,278 --> 00:13:53,577
You admit you're wrong?
That's refreshing, coming from a city employee.
278
00:13:54,349 --> 00:13:55,543
So, you're here to apologize?
279
00:13:55,616 --> 00:13:57,584
Oh, let's not get carried away.
280
00:13:57,652 --> 00:13:59,553
No, the thing is,
we think it's possible
281
00:13:59,621 --> 00:14:02,454
that whoever killed Ms.
Ganz really meant to kill you.
282
00:14:02,524 --> 00:14:05,459
Why would
anyone wanna kill me?
283
00:14:05,527 --> 00:14:06,892
It's just a theory.
284
00:14:07,029 --> 00:14:09,293
Your husband told us you
were at the gym last Monday.
285
00:14:09,365 --> 00:14:10,696
Is that a regular
thing for you?
286
00:14:10,766 --> 00:14:12,427
Yes. I work out with
a personal trainer
287
00:14:12,501 --> 00:14:15,402
three nights a week for the last year.
I go from 7:00 to 8:30.
288
00:14:15,471 --> 00:14:17,166
How long does it take
you to get home?
289
00:14:17,239 --> 00:14:19,673
Ten minutes.
The gym's on 61st.
290
00:14:19,742 --> 00:14:23,439
But Monday I gave a friend a lift
home and went up for coffee.
291
00:14:23,512 --> 00:14:25,537
So, normally you
get home by 8:45.
292
00:14:25,614 --> 00:14:27,605
Did you call your husband, tell
him you were going to be late?
293
00:14:27,683 --> 00:14:30,413
No. Wait,
you think...
294
00:14:31,253 --> 00:14:32,481
We're just covering all bases.
295
00:14:32,554 --> 00:14:34,351
What a ridiculous idea.
296
00:14:34,423 --> 00:14:37,722
Steven and I have been married 11 years.
We love each other.
297
00:14:38,060 --> 00:14:40,051
Well, if you can
think of anybody else,
298
00:14:40,129 --> 00:14:43,030
uh, an ex-employee,
a client, a relative?
299
00:14:43,198 --> 00:14:46,167
The last big argument I had
was with my dry cleaner.
300
00:14:46,235 --> 00:14:47,896
There's nobody out
to kill me, Detective.
301
00:14:47,970 --> 00:14:50,438
Well, maybe you remember
somebody following you,
302
00:14:50,506 --> 00:14:52,269
somebody waiting
outside the building.
303
00:14:53,208 --> 00:14:54,402
The only thing I can think of
304
00:14:54,476 --> 00:14:58,242
is last week the super said a man
tried to deliver an envelope to me.
305
00:14:58,380 --> 00:15:00,780
Who was he? I don't know.
I wasn't home.
306
00:15:00,849 --> 00:15:02,840
I never heard about it again.
307
00:15:02,918 --> 00:15:05,318
I'm sure you're
wrong about this.
308
00:15:05,788 --> 00:15:09,087
His hair wasn't that curly. More wavy.
And he had a windbreaker.
309
00:15:09,158 --> 00:15:11,649
Did it have a logo,
like a uniform?
310
00:15:11,894 --> 00:15:15,887
No. You know, come to think of it,
it might have been a leather jacket.
311
00:15:16,098 --> 00:15:17,531
Big difference.
312
00:15:17,599 --> 00:15:19,362
Yeah, well, I wasn't paying
attention to his clothes.
313
00:15:19,468 --> 00:15:21,629
I was mopping the floor.
314
00:15:21,703 --> 00:15:24,968
His eyes weren't that far apart.
And his chin was fatter.
315
00:15:25,040 --> 00:15:28,441
What about this envelope, what did
it look like? I didn't see it.
316
00:15:28,510 --> 00:15:30,944
It must have been in this
little duffel bag he had.
317
00:15:31,013 --> 00:15:33,675
I told him Mrs. Tashjian wasn't
home, she was at her office,
318
00:15:33,982 --> 00:15:36,451
then he went back to his car.
Did you see his car?
319
00:15:36,519 --> 00:15:40,421
Yeah. I went outside to dump the mop
bucket, and he got into a Mercedes.
320
00:15:40,924 --> 00:15:43,222
You see the license plate?
No.
321
00:15:43,593 --> 00:15:46,118
It was a newer Mercedes,
though, dark green.
322
00:15:46,462 --> 00:15:49,761
But the right front fender had
that gray primer paint on it.
323
00:15:49,998 --> 00:15:52,762
Did you tell him where Mrs.
Tashjian worked?
324
00:15:52,835 --> 00:15:53,824
Yeah.
325
00:15:55,370 --> 00:15:56,667
His ears are too big.
326
00:15:57,673 --> 00:16:00,574
He might have asked for Mrs.
Tashjian from the ad agency.
327
00:16:00,642 --> 00:16:03,634
You know, people come in and out of here all day.
I don't focus on their faces.
328
00:16:03,712 --> 00:16:05,680
This was last week.
Look at the picture again.
329
00:16:05,747 --> 00:16:08,875
He drives a green Mercedes
with gray primer on it.
330
00:16:08,951 --> 00:16:11,681
Maybe you saw it
parked on the street.
331
00:16:11,887 --> 00:16:14,720
No, that wasn't a Mercedes.
It was a red Beemer.
332
00:16:14,790 --> 00:16:16,587
Looked new except for
the primer on the hood.
333
00:16:16,658 --> 00:16:17,818
You saw this guy in the car?
334
00:16:17,893 --> 00:16:18,985
Yeah, it could have been him.
335
00:16:19,061 --> 00:16:20,756
He looked Hispanic.
I saw him get out.
336
00:16:20,829 --> 00:16:23,389
What did he do? Checked the
street numbers, then he split.
337
00:16:24,032 --> 00:16:25,499
Okay, thanks.
338
00:16:25,634 --> 00:16:28,398
If it's the same guy, it sounds like
he gets his cars from Rent-A-Wreck.
339
00:16:28,470 --> 00:16:29,630
Or a body shop.
340
00:16:30,339 --> 00:16:32,967
We don't do body work
here. We farm it out.
341
00:16:33,041 --> 00:16:35,566
Get in, Detective.
See how it fits.
342
00:16:37,779 --> 00:16:40,771
The body shops you use
specialize in Mercedes?
343
00:16:41,049 --> 00:16:43,950
They also do BMW's and Porsches.
They all have the same requirements.
344
00:16:44,019 --> 00:16:48,251
We use two places. One on the Upper
East Side and one on Avenue C.
345
00:16:48,323 --> 00:16:50,120
Well, how does it feel?
346
00:16:50,192 --> 00:16:51,489
Like I can't afford it.
347
00:16:51,693 --> 00:16:53,388
And those are the only
two in Manhattan?
348
00:16:53,462 --> 00:16:54,793
The only two places that I use.
349
00:16:54,863 --> 00:16:56,558
There are about
three more I don't.
350
00:16:57,432 --> 00:17:00,868
What would it take to get you
into this car, Detective?
351
00:17:01,336 --> 00:17:03,361
Next week's lotto numbers.
352
00:17:04,773 --> 00:17:06,934
Would you just take
a look at the picture?
353
00:17:07,009 --> 00:17:08,636
Yeah, one second.
354
00:17:09,444 --> 00:17:13,574
People. They buy a German car, all of a
sudden they think they're driving a tank.
355
00:17:13,649 --> 00:17:14,844
What's this about?
356
00:17:14,918 --> 00:17:16,579
It's about identifying
the guy in the picture.
357
00:17:16,653 --> 00:17:18,052
Well, I gotta know
what you want with him.
358
00:17:18,121 --> 00:17:19,554
Hey, you keep stalling us,
359
00:17:19,622 --> 00:17:20,919
we're going to
forget about this guy
360
00:17:20,990 --> 00:17:22,651
and take a serious
interest in you.
361
00:17:22,725 --> 00:17:24,090
Okay, okay.
362
00:17:27,030 --> 00:17:29,464
It kind of looks
like Enrique Flores.
363
00:17:29,532 --> 00:17:31,932
He's got a little shop
out in Hunts Point.
364
00:17:32,035 --> 00:17:34,970
He does some overflow
work for us sometimes.
365
00:17:35,605 --> 00:17:36,663
No.
366
00:17:39,842 --> 00:17:42,470
Just tell him to
call me back. Thanks.
367
00:17:43,646 --> 00:17:45,841
He's still out in Brooklyn
picking up a car.
368
00:17:46,849 --> 00:17:48,749
Would you look at
those girls, Rey?
369
00:17:48,818 --> 00:17:50,683
Thirty degrees, freezing rain,
370
00:17:50,753 --> 00:17:53,016
they haven't taken a break
since we got here.
371
00:17:53,088 --> 00:17:55,886
Politicians who complain about
the vanishing work ethic
372
00:17:55,958 --> 00:17:57,357
should meet these women.
373
00:17:57,426 --> 00:17:58,791
I bet they have.
374
00:18:00,362 --> 00:18:01,954
So, you find a place yet?
375
00:18:02,030 --> 00:18:03,429
Still looking.
376
00:18:03,832 --> 00:18:06,164
Might not need it.
Yeah? Good.
377
00:18:08,203 --> 00:18:12,162
Listen. You know, I've been down this road
a couple of times. If you wanna talk.
378
00:18:12,241 --> 00:18:14,607
Yeah, thanks. We're
getting counseling.
379
00:18:15,344 --> 00:18:16,971
Well, shrinks can be helpful.
380
00:18:18,113 --> 00:18:19,444
It's a priest.
381
00:18:20,649 --> 00:18:22,412
Whatever works.
382
00:18:23,518 --> 00:18:26,385
Hey, Lennie,
that looks like him.
383
00:18:28,323 --> 00:18:30,291
Unit two, go in. Go in.
384
00:18:32,294 --> 00:18:34,091
I don't know, man.
We'll take a look at it inside.
385
00:18:36,465 --> 00:18:37,989
Enrique Flores.
386
00:18:45,507 --> 00:18:47,168
What's going on?
What did I do?
387
00:18:47,242 --> 00:18:48,539
You pissed me off, that's what.
388
00:18:48,610 --> 00:18:51,135
Hey, man. I don't know you.
Why you doing this to me?
389
00:18:51,213 --> 00:18:54,240
Enrique Flores, you're under arrest
for the murder of Shelly Ganz.
390
00:18:54,384 --> 00:18:57,478
I don't know Shelly Ganz.
I don't know these Tashjian people.
391
00:18:57,553 --> 00:18:59,214
I don't even know
what I'm doing here.
392
00:18:59,289 --> 00:19:01,052
You heard him.
He didn't do it.
393
00:19:01,124 --> 00:19:04,355
Two witnesses have him sniffing
around Susan Tashjian.
394
00:19:04,427 --> 00:19:07,658
We have his boot print in her garage.
He's the guy.
395
00:19:07,730 --> 00:19:09,857
I was set up.
It has to be.
396
00:19:10,300 --> 00:19:12,427
It's because I'm a Latino.
They have it in for Latinos.
397
00:19:12,502 --> 00:19:15,665
Hey, the only people we got it
in for are dirt-bag murderers.
398
00:19:15,738 --> 00:19:17,933
Detective, there's no need
for ad hominem attacks.
399
00:19:18,007 --> 00:19:19,406
Screw your ad hominem.
400
00:19:19,475 --> 00:19:22,444
This guy blew a hole the size of
my fist through a girl's back.
401
00:19:24,647 --> 00:19:26,114
Who put you up to it, Enrique?
402
00:19:26,182 --> 00:19:28,116
You have to believe me.
I didn't do it.
403
00:19:28,184 --> 00:19:30,584
If you wanna stay alive,
you better start talking.
404
00:19:30,653 --> 00:19:32,951
No way. This
interview is over.
405
00:19:37,994 --> 00:19:39,256
It's number four.
406
00:19:39,595 --> 00:19:41,119
No. No, maybe not.
407
00:19:42,165 --> 00:19:43,655
You know, if I could
get a closer look.
408
00:19:43,733 --> 00:19:46,133
Can I go in there?
It's against the rules.
409
00:19:46,636 --> 00:19:51,801
I didn't know. Well, those two
in the middle could be him.
410
00:19:53,142 --> 00:19:54,905
Is that good enough?
411
00:19:59,181 --> 00:20:01,115
Right now he's in
Central Booking.
412
00:20:01,183 --> 00:20:04,118
But if he goes to arraignment
and makes bail, he's gonna run.
413
00:20:04,519 --> 00:20:05,611
What do you have on him?
414
00:20:05,687 --> 00:20:08,121
He was wearing nine-and-a-half
Danner boots when we picked him up.
415
00:20:08,190 --> 00:20:09,782
They're fairly new,
so the wear pattern
416
00:20:09,858 --> 00:20:11,951
is not unique enough
for a conclusive match.
417
00:20:12,027 --> 00:20:13,824
Fingerprints, murder
weapon, anything?
418
00:20:13,895 --> 00:20:17,262
No prints. We're still processing
the body shop and his house.
419
00:20:17,332 --> 00:20:19,732
Unless we get something conclusive
to dazzle the arraignment judge,
420
00:20:19,801 --> 00:20:21,029
don't count on high bail.
421
00:20:21,937 --> 00:20:23,461
I'd just like to know
we have the right man.
422
00:20:24,673 --> 00:20:26,607
Hey, we didn't get
Flores by mistake.
423
00:20:26,675 --> 00:20:28,939
Somebody ID'd
him from a sketch.
424
00:20:30,079 --> 00:20:31,171
Yes?
425
00:20:32,548 --> 00:20:33,537
It's for you.
426
00:20:34,117 --> 00:20:35,982
They want us to lose his
paperwork for a few days.
427
00:20:36,352 --> 00:20:38,479
By then, we might have enough
evidence to get him remanded.
428
00:20:38,554 --> 00:20:39,885
Yeah.
429
00:20:40,957 --> 00:20:42,185
Susan Tashjian.
430
00:20:42,925 --> 00:20:45,655
She was shot dead a half an
hour ago outside her gym.
431
00:20:55,705 --> 00:20:57,969
I was at the front desk
when I heard the shots.
432
00:20:58,040 --> 00:21:00,235
By the time I got to
Susan, she was dead.
433
00:21:00,309 --> 00:21:01,936
Did you see anybody
out on the street?
434
00:21:02,011 --> 00:21:03,603
Not at first.
435
00:21:03,679 --> 00:21:06,477
Then people started coming out
of that bodega over there.
436
00:21:07,216 --> 00:21:08,513
It's such a waste.
437
00:21:08,584 --> 00:21:11,815
Yeah, well, if you remember
anything else. Thanks.
438
00:21:12,822 --> 00:21:15,382
She just wouldn't believe
somebody was out to get her.
439
00:21:15,458 --> 00:21:17,585
Times like these,
I'd rather be wrong.
440
00:21:18,494 --> 00:21:20,359
She was tapped three
times in the back.
441
00:21:20,430 --> 00:21:23,194
Nine millimeter.
We have the casings.
442
00:21:24,700 --> 00:21:26,668
Witnesses?
Nothing yet.
443
00:21:27,470 --> 00:21:30,200
Find the husband.
Bring him in.
444
00:21:31,908 --> 00:21:34,900
I would like to see her.
I mean, can I at least do that?
445
00:21:34,977 --> 00:21:38,538
Oh, don't worry, Steve.
This time the job got done right.
446
00:21:39,048 --> 00:21:40,913
I don't know what
you're talking about.
447
00:21:40,983 --> 00:21:44,384
We're saying you found somebody to
finish off what Enrique Flores started.
448
00:21:45,988 --> 00:21:48,183
I did not have my wife killed.
You're crazy.
449
00:21:48,791 --> 00:21:51,726
You're practical. You throw the
insurance money at your creditors,
450
00:21:51,794 --> 00:21:53,352
maybe they leave you
alone for a while.
451
00:21:53,429 --> 00:21:56,193
You think I had her
killed for $300,000?
452
00:21:58,367 --> 00:22:03,430
Look, forget I loved
Susan. She was my partner.
453
00:22:03,639 --> 00:22:05,265
She did all of
the creative work.
454
00:22:05,340 --> 00:22:07,707
Without her,
the ad agency's just...
455
00:22:10,646 --> 00:22:12,409
I can't believe that you're
accusing me of this.
456
00:22:12,482 --> 00:22:15,042
You're on the hook for two murders, Mr.
Tashjian.
457
00:22:15,117 --> 00:22:16,641
I didn't do it.
458
00:22:18,855 --> 00:22:20,880
Damn you, I did not do it.
459
00:22:21,357 --> 00:22:24,383
Now, I have answered your questions,
and now I wanna see Susan.
460
00:22:32,368 --> 00:22:34,427
You want us to put him
up for the night?
461
00:22:34,504 --> 00:22:36,768
There's no evidence
to sustain an arrest.
462
00:22:38,774 --> 00:22:40,833
Take him to the morgue,
then let him go.
463
00:22:42,945 --> 00:22:46,312
Do we know for certain how many
policies Tashjian had on his wife?
464
00:22:48,050 --> 00:22:51,747
The bookkeeper mentioned the
one policy with Dominion Life.
465
00:22:51,888 --> 00:22:55,221
You don't think Tashjian
would kill her for 300,000.
466
00:22:55,625 --> 00:22:57,490
I think he'd make it
worth his while.
467
00:22:57,560 --> 00:22:58,959
Well, he can't collect
on any policy
468
00:22:59,028 --> 00:23:01,326
without a copy of
the death certificate.
469
00:23:01,397 --> 00:23:04,491
I'll tell the Department of Health to
notify us if they get any requests.
470
00:23:04,567 --> 00:23:07,559
Meantime, let's connect
him to Enrique Flores.
471
00:23:08,671 --> 00:23:12,835
Well, if Flores ever did work on Tashjian's
car, I can't find a record of it.
472
00:23:13,142 --> 00:23:15,303
There's nothing in
Tashjian's files, either.
473
00:23:15,378 --> 00:23:18,677
They weren't Army buddies, they
didn't go to the same school.
474
00:23:18,748 --> 00:23:20,739
Who would you ask
if you needed a hit man?
475
00:23:20,816 --> 00:23:24,479
I'd find an old cop, preferably
one with a lot of alimony.
476
00:23:28,090 --> 00:23:29,853
Where did Tashjian
get his business loan?
477
00:23:30,526 --> 00:23:31,720
Uh...
478
00:23:31,794 --> 00:23:35,059
From the Beachwood
Loan Company in Brooklyn.
479
00:23:35,131 --> 00:23:39,465
Flores borrowed $90,000 from them last
year to buy a frame straightener.
480
00:23:41,504 --> 00:23:43,631
How many red and
how many green?
481
00:23:44,907 --> 00:23:46,808
No, I don't want
Santa on the roof.
482
00:23:47,344 --> 00:23:50,279
Just give me the lights
over the whole house.
483
00:23:50,581 --> 00:23:52,674
Right. Fax me
the contract.
484
00:23:54,284 --> 00:23:57,412
You believe that?
$15,000 for Christmas lights.
485
00:23:58,555 --> 00:24:00,989
So, uh, who were you
asking about?
486
00:24:01,692 --> 00:24:03,660
Enrique Flores
and Steven Tashjian.
487
00:24:03,727 --> 00:24:05,922
They both borrowed money
from you, Mr. Russo.
488
00:24:06,563 --> 00:24:07,825
Call me Bunny.
489
00:24:08,765 --> 00:24:10,756
Lynne, pull out
the files, will you,
490
00:24:10,834 --> 00:24:13,324
on Steven Tashjian
and Enrique Flores.
491
00:24:15,237 --> 00:24:18,832
You know, I put out between five and seven
million dollars in loans every month,
492
00:24:18,908 --> 00:24:21,399
so I don't know
everybody by name.
493
00:24:21,477 --> 00:24:24,537
Flores has a body shop in Hunts Point.
He owes you $90,000.
494
00:24:24,614 --> 00:24:28,050
And Tashjian has an ad agency.
He owes you 1.2 million.
495
00:24:28,117 --> 00:24:29,277
I see.
496
00:24:29,752 --> 00:24:32,016
And I hear his wife was
killed a couple of days ago.
497
00:24:34,090 --> 00:24:35,785
Thank you, Lynne.
498
00:24:36,993 --> 00:24:39,723
So why do you wanna
know about these two?
499
00:24:39,795 --> 00:24:42,457
We suspect Tashjian had his wife
killed and Flores is involved.
500
00:24:42,531 --> 00:24:44,123
They might have met
through your company.
501
00:24:44,200 --> 00:24:47,260
Well, it's not like I
have socials for my borrowers.
502
00:24:47,903 --> 00:24:49,962
Why would Tashjian
kill his wife?
503
00:24:50,039 --> 00:24:52,269
For the life insurance.
He needed money.
504
00:24:52,341 --> 00:24:53,501
Who doesn't?
505
00:24:54,410 --> 00:24:55,775
Oh, look, I'm not
defending the guy,
506
00:24:55,845 --> 00:24:58,541
but a lot of people had a
beef with the Tashjians.
507
00:24:58,614 --> 00:24:59,603
How come?
508
00:24:59,682 --> 00:25:02,549
They stiffed their clients,
suppliers, freelancers.
509
00:25:02,618 --> 00:25:05,985
Every time one of them sued, I'd get
the call as the primary creditor.
510
00:25:06,055 --> 00:25:09,456
There are two photo studios in
Chapter 7 because of the Tashjians.
511
00:25:10,893 --> 00:25:12,986
The Tashjians settled
with one photo studio.
512
00:25:13,062 --> 00:25:15,189
The other one went out of business
when the photographer was sued
513
00:25:15,264 --> 00:25:17,198
for sexually
harassing his models.
514
00:25:17,266 --> 00:25:19,257
What about their
other creditors?
515
00:25:19,335 --> 00:25:20,529
They either wrote off the debts
516
00:25:20,603 --> 00:25:22,434
or they're waiting
for their turn in court.
517
00:25:22,505 --> 00:25:24,406
Doesn't look promising.
518
00:25:24,541 --> 00:25:27,135
This does.
The Department of Health called.
519
00:25:27,210 --> 00:25:30,441
They got two requests for Susan
Tashjian's death certificate.
520
00:25:30,514 --> 00:25:31,708
One from Dominion Life
521
00:25:31,782 --> 00:25:34,910
and one from an agent of the
Champlain Insurance Company.
522
00:25:35,085 --> 00:25:37,576
Mr. Tashjian doubled up.
Mmm-hmm.
523
00:25:41,758 --> 00:25:44,659
Steven Tashjian?
Never heard of him.
524
00:25:44,728 --> 00:25:46,559
You pulled his wife's
death certificate.
525
00:25:46,630 --> 00:25:49,394
He's the beneficiary
on her life insurance policy.
526
00:25:49,466 --> 00:25:50,956
Well, let me look here.
527
00:25:53,837 --> 00:25:55,168
You have disability insurance?
528
00:25:55,238 --> 00:25:57,536
Yes, with the city.
Yeah, right.
529
00:25:57,708 --> 00:26:00,768
The BOW policy.
Better Off Working.
530
00:26:00,844 --> 00:26:03,039
You should think
about additional coverage.
531
00:26:03,647 --> 00:26:05,205
Oh, here it is.
532
00:26:06,283 --> 00:26:10,117
Susan Tashjian. Champlain Life.
$600,000 payout.
533
00:26:11,354 --> 00:26:13,549
That's nice
for Mr. Tashjian.
534
00:26:13,790 --> 00:26:15,815
Well, he's not the beneficiary.
535
00:26:15,892 --> 00:26:18,519
No, the Beachwood Loan Company is.
They own the policy.
536
00:26:18,594 --> 00:26:20,459
Why would they have
life insurance on her?
537
00:26:20,529 --> 00:26:22,326
Well, didn't she co-sign
for a loan with them?
538
00:26:22,398 --> 00:26:24,127
Yes, she and her husband.
539
00:26:25,201 --> 00:26:28,659
Well, Beachwood has policies on all
their borrowers. Good thing, too.
540
00:26:28,738 --> 00:26:30,968
Last year, they had
four people die on them.
541
00:26:31,040 --> 00:26:34,134
Four claims worth over
three million dollars.
542
00:26:34,510 --> 00:26:36,637
One of the borrowers
died of a heart attack.
543
00:26:36,712 --> 00:26:39,977
The other three were shot dead.
The crimes are unsolved.
544
00:26:40,049 --> 00:26:44,110
Coincidentally, all three were in default
to Beachwood. Same as the Tashjians.
545
00:26:44,186 --> 00:26:45,813
Susan Tashjian gets killed,
546
00:26:45,888 --> 00:26:48,448
Beachwood gets back half
the money it loaned them.
547
00:26:48,524 --> 00:26:52,460
Loan companies seize assets, they don't
kill people for insurance money.
548
00:26:52,528 --> 00:26:55,827
Bunny Russo is not your
friendly neighborhood lender.
549
00:26:55,898 --> 00:27:00,733
In 1992, he got two years probation
for aggravated harassment.
550
00:27:01,204 --> 00:27:04,332
He took a baseball bat
to a client's car
551
00:27:04,407 --> 00:27:06,307
while the client
was still in it.
552
00:27:06,710 --> 00:27:10,202
And you think now that he uses
Flores to murder his clients?
553
00:27:10,480 --> 00:27:13,278
Flores and whatever accomplice
shot Susan Tashjian.
554
00:27:13,350 --> 00:27:14,874
We looked at
Flores' bank records.
555
00:27:14,951 --> 00:27:17,181
He hasn't made a payment
to Russo in two months.
556
00:27:17,254 --> 00:27:20,690
He's probably working off his
debt by shooting people.
557
00:27:20,791 --> 00:27:24,249
The mother of all loan sharks.
Hell of a bedtime story.
558
00:27:24,494 --> 00:27:26,894
Right now, that's
all it is. A story.
559
00:27:26,963 --> 00:27:30,865
Reopen the old cases.
Find something on Mr. Russo.
560
00:27:32,102 --> 00:27:35,299
My dad was supposed to meet me
at the Garden for a hockey game.
561
00:27:36,540 --> 00:27:39,907
He called to say that he was having a
drink with a business acquaintance.
562
00:27:39,976 --> 00:27:42,809
The next morning, they found
his body near Battery Park.
563
00:27:42,879 --> 00:27:45,279
Ten months, they still can't
tell me what happened.
564
00:27:45,348 --> 00:27:47,748
Your father borrowed money
from Beachwood Loan?
565
00:27:47,818 --> 00:27:51,083
Yes. For his dress-making
business. $900,000.
566
00:27:51,655 --> 00:27:54,146
But it was paid back by an
insurance company after he died.
567
00:27:54,224 --> 00:27:55,316
Why do you ask?
568
00:27:58,028 --> 00:28:00,588
Did he ever discuss his
dealings with Sam Russo?
569
00:28:01,398 --> 00:28:02,865
Bunny? Sure.
570
00:28:03,400 --> 00:28:05,766
They had shouting
matches over the phone.
571
00:28:05,836 --> 00:28:07,929
My dad was behind
on his payments.
572
00:28:08,004 --> 00:28:10,336
His business was in trouble.
He owed money everywhere.
573
00:28:10,841 --> 00:28:12,900
Did Mr. Russo
ever threaten him?
574
00:28:12,976 --> 00:28:15,945
Everybody threatened my dad.
He threatened them back.
575
00:28:16,980 --> 00:28:19,448
He ran a sweatshop,
not a nursery school.
576
00:28:19,916 --> 00:28:21,713
Wait. Is that bastard Russo
a suspect?
577
00:28:22,185 --> 00:28:25,881
Have you ever seen this man before
or heard his name, Enrique Flores?
578
00:28:25,955 --> 00:28:29,652
No. Who is he?
Is he mixed up with Russo?
579
00:28:29,725 --> 00:28:32,421
Do you know who your father had
drinks with before he disappeared?
580
00:28:32,494 --> 00:28:37,193
No. Look, my mother's been waiting 10 months.
If you know something, tell me.
581
00:28:38,601 --> 00:28:42,265
I can't discuss it, Mr. Kaiser.
I'm sorry. Thank you for coming in.
582
00:28:42,339 --> 00:28:44,739
And I advise you to stay
away from Mr. Russo.
583
00:28:46,710 --> 00:28:50,669
Waxman was a PI, specialized in
matrimonial and missing persons.
584
00:28:50,814 --> 00:28:53,408
You can imagine, I had
suspects coming out of my ass.
585
00:28:53,483 --> 00:28:55,781
Unfaithful spouses,
bill skippers,
586
00:28:55,852 --> 00:28:58,446
not to mention two ex-wives
hawking him for alimony.
587
00:28:58,521 --> 00:29:00,148
What about Beachwood Loan?
588
00:29:00,223 --> 00:29:02,316
He owed them
close to 450 grand.
589
00:29:02,692 --> 00:29:04,421
They took a big bath
on that puppy.
590
00:29:04,494 --> 00:29:06,826
They did fine. They had
life insurance on him.
591
00:29:06,897 --> 00:29:08,626
I didn't know that.
592
00:29:09,199 --> 00:29:10,393
His name's Enrique Flores.
593
00:29:10,467 --> 00:29:13,197
He's a suspect in another murder
involving Beachwood Loan.
594
00:29:13,270 --> 00:29:14,794
I never heard of him.
595
00:29:14,871 --> 00:29:16,463
What's his connection
to Beachwood?
596
00:29:16,539 --> 00:29:17,699
He borrowed money from them.
597
00:29:17,774 --> 00:29:21,335
He owns a body shop in Hunts Point.
That rings a bell.
598
00:29:22,045 --> 00:29:24,741
We found license plate numbers
in Waxman's notebook.
599
00:29:24,814 --> 00:29:27,146
We figured it had something
to do with his cases.
600
00:29:27,217 --> 00:29:29,310
You traced the cars?
Yeah.
601
00:29:29,552 --> 00:29:30,576
One guy said he had an accident
602
00:29:30,654 --> 00:29:33,521
and didn't even have his car
the week Waxman was killed.
603
00:29:34,157 --> 00:29:36,717
We thought Waxman got
the plate number wrong.
604
00:29:37,827 --> 00:29:41,490
Here. The car was getting fixed
at a place in Hunts Point.
605
00:29:42,098 --> 00:29:45,625
You used one of your customer's
cars to follow him, Enrique.
606
00:29:45,702 --> 00:29:48,193
But Waxman made you.
He wrote down your plate.
607
00:29:48,271 --> 00:29:51,468
No. No, it's a mistake.
Doesn't make sense any other way.
608
00:29:51,541 --> 00:29:53,532
That's two killings
with your name on them.
609
00:29:53,610 --> 00:29:56,078
It's a coincidence.
I'm the wrong guy.
610
00:29:56,513 --> 00:29:57,571
What do you want with him?
611
00:29:57,681 --> 00:29:59,205
He knows what we want.
Sam Russo.
612
00:29:59,282 --> 00:30:01,443
But it's not me.
No way I did it.
613
00:30:01,518 --> 00:30:02,849
Enrique, listen to
what they have to...
614
00:30:02,919 --> 00:30:05,217
I don't want to listen.
I want to go home.
615
00:30:05,288 --> 00:30:08,314
Starting tonight, Mr.
Flores, home is a four-by-ten cell.
616
00:30:08,391 --> 00:30:09,790
You can't do that.
I have bail.
617
00:30:09,859 --> 00:30:12,885
We're re-arresting you for
the murder of Jason Waxman.
618
00:30:12,963 --> 00:30:15,056
This time I guarantee
you won't get bail.
619
00:30:15,131 --> 00:30:17,100
Please, I gotta go home!
620
00:30:17,168 --> 00:30:18,897
You better listen to
your lawyer, Enrique.
621
00:30:18,970 --> 00:30:20,733
You don't talk, you're
never gonna go home.
622
00:30:22,440 --> 00:30:24,237
Oh, God. My God. What, what, what?
Take it easy.
623
00:30:24,308 --> 00:30:25,900
It hurts!
Lay him down.
624
00:30:25,977 --> 00:30:27,535
I can't breathe.
Lay him down. Easy.
625
00:30:27,611 --> 00:30:30,238
I'll call EMS.
Who knows CPR?
626
00:30:32,148 --> 00:30:33,513
After you.
627
00:30:37,687 --> 00:30:41,350
Mr. Flores, can you hear me?
Yes.
628
00:30:41,624 --> 00:30:43,455
You've had a mild heart attack.
629
00:30:43,860 --> 00:30:45,953
Please. I don't want to die.
630
00:30:46,029 --> 00:30:48,520
You're gonna be fine, but your
heartbeat is still irregular.
631
00:30:48,598 --> 00:30:50,828
So we're gonna keep you
overnight for observation.
632
00:30:50,900 --> 00:30:52,026
I want to go home.
633
00:30:52,102 --> 00:30:54,332
We'll talk about
that later, Mr. Flores.
634
00:30:54,404 --> 00:30:56,872
Now, we're going to give you a
sedative to help you relax.
635
00:30:56,940 --> 00:30:59,340
But I need to ask you
a few things.
636
00:30:59,409 --> 00:31:01,502
Where did you feel
the pain first?
637
00:31:01,578 --> 00:31:04,638
In my head.
I felt a lot of pressure.
638
00:31:05,081 --> 00:31:06,946
And what were you doing
when it started?
639
00:31:07,017 --> 00:31:10,646
The police were asking me questions.
I see.
640
00:31:10,720 --> 00:31:13,917
Because I killed
two people, Doctor.
641
00:31:13,990 --> 00:31:16,356
I killed them,
and I'm going to jail.
642
00:31:24,434 --> 00:31:27,335
Well, is he gonna live?
Better than that.
643
00:31:27,537 --> 00:31:29,266
He just fessed up
to the two murders.
644
00:31:29,339 --> 00:31:31,933
You heard him? I was standing
three feet in front of him.
645
00:31:32,809 --> 00:31:35,835
He didn't happen to say Russo
put him up to it, did he?
646
00:31:35,912 --> 00:31:36,936
No.
647
00:31:37,013 --> 00:31:38,571
It's enough that he
admitted to the murders.
648
00:31:39,249 --> 00:31:40,648
It's bedtime
for Mr. Russo.
649
00:31:41,985 --> 00:31:43,077
You have
the right to a lawyer.
650
00:31:43,153 --> 00:31:46,384
If you cannot afford one, one will be appointed to you.
You understand all that?
651
00:31:46,456 --> 00:31:48,754
Nothing I haven't heard before.
Lynne, call David Sheehan.
652
00:31:48,825 --> 00:31:50,417
Where are you guys taking me?
The 27th Precinct.
653
00:31:50,493 --> 00:31:52,154
Tell him to meet me
at the 27th Precinct,
654
00:31:52,228 --> 00:31:53,889
and page him if you have to.
Come on.
655
00:31:53,963 --> 00:31:55,693
Hey, wait a minute.
You mind swinging by my house?
656
00:31:55,766 --> 00:31:57,461
They just put up the
Christmas lights today.
657
00:31:57,535 --> 00:31:59,025
I'd really like to see
what they look like.
658
00:31:59,103 --> 00:32:00,968
We'll have Santa
bring you a picture.
659
00:32:04,341 --> 00:32:07,333
Five murders?
What are you doing, McCoy?
660
00:32:07,411 --> 00:32:09,743
Cleaning out your desk
for the new year?
661
00:32:09,980 --> 00:32:12,949
I was hoping he might
want to clear his conscience.
662
00:32:13,017 --> 00:32:14,143
My conscience?
663
00:32:14,218 --> 00:32:16,448
We know miracles don't happen
without a little help.
664
00:32:17,488 --> 00:32:19,547
We have the shooter
for Ganz and Waxman.
665
00:32:19,623 --> 00:32:21,648
You tell us who did
the other three,
666
00:32:21,725 --> 00:32:25,286
you plead to murder one, and I
won't seek the death penalty.
667
00:32:25,529 --> 00:32:27,463
You must be Saint
Bernadette of Lourdes
668
00:32:27,531 --> 00:32:29,192
if you think I'm gonna
plead to anything.
669
00:32:29,266 --> 00:32:32,997
Life without parole, Mr.
Russo. Take it or lose it.
670
00:32:33,070 --> 00:32:35,833
Enrique Flores has already
confessed to two killings.
671
00:32:35,905 --> 00:32:38,203
Honey, if you had the brains
to go along with those looks,
672
00:32:38,274 --> 00:32:39,707
you'd know you're being played.
673
00:32:39,776 --> 00:32:41,471
Sam, let me handle
this, will you, please?
674
00:32:41,544 --> 00:32:45,036
Dave, shut up.
Nobody's making cases against me.
675
00:32:45,849 --> 00:32:48,374
I'm an honest businessman
making an honest living.
676
00:32:48,785 --> 00:32:51,219
By threatening people
with a baseball bat?
677
00:32:51,287 --> 00:32:53,812
Did you learn that at the Meyer
Lansky School of Business?
678
00:32:53,890 --> 00:32:57,485
People borrow money from me and
they pay me back for one reason.
679
00:32:57,560 --> 00:33:01,223
Because they have to.
Not because they like to.
680
00:33:01,464 --> 00:33:03,227
And if they don't pay,
you kill them.
681
00:33:04,634 --> 00:33:07,068
I never killed anyone
in my life.
682
00:33:08,104 --> 00:33:10,129
Dave, you deal
with this. Guard!
683
00:33:10,874 --> 00:33:13,365
I'm not going to testify against him.
Forget about it.
684
00:33:13,443 --> 00:33:16,378
Enrique, calm down.
You know what the doctor said.
685
00:33:16,446 --> 00:33:18,414
If I take the stand
against Russo,
686
00:33:18,481 --> 00:33:20,915
I might as well have
a big heart attack.
687
00:33:20,984 --> 00:33:23,885
If you don't testify, Mr.
Flores, you'll be facing something
688
00:33:23,953 --> 00:33:25,648
far more lethal
than a heart attack.
689
00:33:25,722 --> 00:33:28,122
Assuming he testifies,
what do you propose?
690
00:33:28,191 --> 00:33:30,659
Murder two, two counts,
concurrent sentences.
691
00:33:30,727 --> 00:33:32,992
That's not much of a break,
considering your evidence.
692
00:33:33,063 --> 00:33:35,293
A spontaneous admission in
front of a police detective?
693
00:33:35,366 --> 00:33:37,561
Isn't anybody listening to me?
694
00:33:37,635 --> 00:33:40,570
I don't care if they kiss
my ass, I'm not talking.
695
00:33:40,638 --> 00:33:43,266
We have your statement from the hospital.
We'll see you at trial.
696
00:33:43,340 --> 00:33:45,570
You're not there
yet, Mr. McCoy.
697
00:33:46,810 --> 00:33:49,005
The statement's protected.
You can't use it.
698
00:33:52,583 --> 00:33:55,950
My client was responding to a
question by the treating physician.
699
00:33:56,020 --> 00:33:59,421
His answers are protected by
the doctor-patient privilege.
700
00:33:59,490 --> 00:34:02,015
The presence of a third party,
in this case Detective Curtis,
701
00:34:02,092 --> 00:34:04,026
shatters the privilege.
It's black letter law.
702
00:34:04,094 --> 00:34:06,119
Except where a police
officer's presence
703
00:34:06,197 --> 00:34:09,530
is required to guard the patient.
People v. Sanders.
704
00:34:09,600 --> 00:34:10,931
My client didn't
have the option
705
00:34:11,001 --> 00:34:12,662
of a private session
with his doctor.
706
00:34:12,736 --> 00:34:14,328
Flores knew the detective was there.
707
00:34:14,405 --> 00:34:15,633
He knew to keep his mouth shut.
708
00:34:15,706 --> 00:34:17,503
Mr. McCoy, I hope
you're not suggesting
709
00:34:17,575 --> 00:34:20,408
he had to give up his right
against self-incrimination
710
00:34:20,477 --> 00:34:22,172
in order to get
medical treatment.
711
00:34:22,246 --> 00:34:25,238
Your Honor, the information
that he had killed two people
712
00:34:25,316 --> 00:34:27,807
was not necessary to
his medical treatment.
713
00:34:27,918 --> 00:34:30,148
There's no privilege.
I can cite People v. Bostic...
714
00:34:30,221 --> 00:34:33,622
My client had a heart attack,
he was hooked up to an ECG,
715
00:34:33,691 --> 00:34:35,921
he didn't know if
he would live or die.
716
00:34:35,993 --> 00:34:37,483
He was in no
condition to decide
717
00:34:37,561 --> 00:34:39,791
what's necessary
medical information.
718
00:34:39,863 --> 00:34:41,091
I wouldn't expect him to.
719
00:34:41,165 --> 00:34:43,530
Your Honor, this was
an excited utterance,
720
00:34:43,600 --> 00:34:45,761
it was voluntary
and spontaneous.
721
00:34:45,835 --> 00:34:47,700
And it's inadmissible.
722
00:34:47,770 --> 00:34:51,331
The doctor-patient privilege was not
waived by the detective's presence.
723
00:34:51,841 --> 00:34:53,433
Defense motion is granted.
724
00:34:54,477 --> 00:34:56,968
All we've got is a boot print
725
00:34:57,180 --> 00:34:59,045
and a license plate number
on a note pad.
726
00:35:00,183 --> 00:35:02,515
Thanks to Judge Meathead,
we couldn't convince Flores
727
00:35:02,585 --> 00:35:04,610
to hold our hat,
let alone testify.
728
00:35:04,687 --> 00:35:09,056
Okay, forget the judge.
How do you propose to convict Mr. Russo?
729
00:35:10,527 --> 00:35:12,688
Flores confessed.
We can't use it against him,
730
00:35:12,763 --> 00:35:14,560
but maybe we can
use it against Russo.
731
00:35:14,832 --> 00:35:20,293
Yeah. He lent money to someone
who killed two people.
732
00:35:20,804 --> 00:35:22,362
Now, since when
is that a crime?
733
00:35:22,873 --> 00:35:24,773
It proves one element
of the fact pattern.
734
00:35:24,842 --> 00:35:27,106
The only pattern here
is you have no facts.
735
00:35:27,578 --> 00:35:31,639
Susan Tashjian shot dead
right under your noses.
736
00:35:32,650 --> 00:35:34,345
Two other murders unsolved.
737
00:35:34,418 --> 00:35:38,081
Find those killers and connect
them with the loan shark.
738
00:35:38,422 --> 00:35:41,880
Maybe they were doing the same thing
as Flores, working off a loan.
739
00:35:41,959 --> 00:35:45,861
Check the company records, see
who's been getting a break lately.
740
00:35:51,935 --> 00:35:54,836
If you wanna go, go.
I'm fine.
741
00:35:56,240 --> 00:35:59,073
Don't you have a babysitter
waiting at home?
742
00:35:59,143 --> 00:36:00,667
She's a live-in.
743
00:36:00,744 --> 00:36:04,145
I know you like working with
people who can put in long hours.
744
00:36:05,416 --> 00:36:08,510
You talked to Adam.
What makes you think that?
745
00:36:10,054 --> 00:36:12,022
Now, if you wanna go...
I'm fine.
746
00:36:12,923 --> 00:36:14,481
Don't you have a bar to visit?
747
00:36:17,895 --> 00:36:23,561
Edward Kaiser. The one who didn't
make it to the hockey game.
748
00:36:25,436 --> 00:36:28,428
I don't know how he ever
qualified for a loan.
749
00:36:28,505 --> 00:36:31,338
He went through a Chapter 11
bankruptcy six years ago.
750
00:36:33,811 --> 00:36:35,301
A lot of his
accounts receivable
751
00:36:35,379 --> 00:36:37,813
were more than
120 days overdue.
752
00:36:39,016 --> 00:36:41,780
Kaiser had default
written all over him.
753
00:36:41,985 --> 00:36:43,475
Why would Russo
lend him a dime?
754
00:36:45,289 --> 00:36:46,813
Here's one reason.
755
00:36:47,591 --> 00:36:50,560
Kaiser was referred to
Beachwood by Steven Tashjian.
756
00:36:50,694 --> 00:36:52,184
Strange how he never
bothered telling us
757
00:36:52,262 --> 00:36:53,661
one of his friends
was murdered.
758
00:36:55,566 --> 00:36:57,864
Is this Tashjian's file?
Yeah.
759
00:37:04,508 --> 00:37:05,975
Two weeks after
Kaiser was killed,
760
00:37:06,043 --> 00:37:09,911
Tashjian had five percentage
points shaved off his loan,
761
00:37:09,980 --> 00:37:11,845
retroactive to
the first payment.
762
00:37:13,851 --> 00:37:16,945
That was always in the cards.
Once the loan reached a certain amount,
763
00:37:17,020 --> 00:37:19,113
I got a rebate on
the interest rate.
764
00:37:19,189 --> 00:37:21,384
A rebate worth $200,000.
765
00:37:21,458 --> 00:37:23,551
I don't understand, Mr.
McCoy. Have you joined
766
00:37:23,627 --> 00:37:25,925
some regulatory commission
on interest rates?
767
00:37:26,663 --> 00:37:28,460
I'd like to know
what Mr. Tashjian did
768
00:37:28,532 --> 00:37:30,124
to warrant such
special treatment.
769
00:37:30,200 --> 00:37:32,464
I didn't do anything.
You're listed as a reference
770
00:37:32,536 --> 00:37:34,265
on Edward Kaiser's
loan application.
771
00:37:34,338 --> 00:37:35,896
Why didn't you tell us
you knew him?
772
00:37:36,740 --> 00:37:39,140
You're wife is shot.
Mr. Kaiser is shot.
773
00:37:40,744 --> 00:37:43,713
You all owe money
to Mr. Russo.
774
00:37:43,781 --> 00:37:45,214
And you never say
anything to us?
775
00:37:45,282 --> 00:37:48,718
I met Kaiser once
or twice at business functions.
776
00:37:48,786 --> 00:37:52,688
I might have mentioned Beachwood.
I didn't know he had taken out a loan.
777
00:37:52,756 --> 00:37:54,690
You never talked to him?
No.
778
00:37:54,758 --> 00:37:56,225
Somebody in
your office did.
779
00:37:56,860 --> 00:37:58,225
Your ad agency's phone records
780
00:37:58,295 --> 00:38:00,695
show three calls to him
the week he died.
781
00:38:00,764 --> 00:38:02,789
One was made
the day he was murdered.
782
00:38:02,866 --> 00:38:07,269
He told his son he was meeting somebody for drinks.
Then he disappeared.
783
00:38:09,606 --> 00:38:11,665
He was meeting you, wasn't he?
784
00:38:11,742 --> 00:38:13,266
You killed him
on Russo's orders.
785
00:38:13,343 --> 00:38:15,937
No. Uh...
Steven, let me talk here.
786
00:38:16,013 --> 00:38:17,947
Unless he tells me
what happened,
787
00:38:18,015 --> 00:38:20,040
I'm having him arrested
for first-degree murder.
788
00:38:20,484 --> 00:38:22,008
Based on what?
789
00:38:26,157 --> 00:38:27,215
Steven, let's go.
790
00:38:27,292 --> 00:38:31,922
Russo had your wife killed, Mr. Tashjian.
Don't you think he ought to pay for it?
791
00:38:51,950 --> 00:38:53,815
In return for his
testimony against Russo,
792
00:38:53,885 --> 00:38:54,976
he gets full immunity.
793
00:38:56,753 --> 00:38:58,482
Let's hear what he has to say.
794
00:39:04,161 --> 00:39:05,423
I, uh...
795
00:39:07,698 --> 00:39:10,758
I was having trouble
paying Russo.
796
00:39:11,702 --> 00:39:14,865
He said if I did him a favor, he
would make things easier for me.
797
00:39:15,639 --> 00:39:18,574
He asked me to arrange
a meeting with Kaiser.
798
00:39:18,642 --> 00:39:19,734
What happened at the meeting?
799
00:39:19,810 --> 00:39:21,937
I don't know.
I wasn't there. I was with my wife.
800
00:39:22,012 --> 00:39:24,674
I swear, I didn't know
they were gonna kill him.
801
00:39:24,748 --> 00:39:27,717
You went through this subterfuge
just to have a cup of coffee with him?
802
00:39:27,784 --> 00:39:29,649
I thought they might
rough him up.
803
00:39:29,720 --> 00:39:31,381
I didn't think that
they would kill him.
804
00:39:31,922 --> 00:39:33,856
When you found out, why
didn't you tell the police?
805
00:39:35,993 --> 00:39:37,927
Russo's people
would have loved that.
806
00:39:39,096 --> 00:39:41,087
Where do you think he gets
the money to give his loans?
807
00:39:41,732 --> 00:39:43,893
Golden age investment clubs?
808
00:39:44,535 --> 00:39:46,867
He puts the mob's money
to work, Mr. McCoy.
809
00:39:47,638 --> 00:39:52,666
Along with immunity, my client expects
police protection. Do we have a deal?
810
00:39:53,477 --> 00:39:56,139
You said you were with your wife when Mr.
Kaiser was killed?
811
00:39:56,213 --> 00:39:57,373
Yeah, that's
right. Yeah.
812
00:39:57,981 --> 00:40:00,040
He was killed on
a Wednesday night.
813
00:40:00,117 --> 00:40:02,517
Your wife told the police she had a
session with her personal trainer
814
00:40:02,586 --> 00:40:04,487
every Wednesday night.
815
00:40:06,257 --> 00:40:10,455
Susan didn't go to the gym that night.
She was with me.
816
00:40:10,762 --> 00:40:13,959
Mr. McCoy, full immunity,
or you don't have a witness.
817
00:40:14,032 --> 00:40:15,522
Not unless he can prove
he was with his wife that...
818
00:40:15,600 --> 00:40:17,465
Deal. He has immunity.
819
00:40:22,874 --> 00:40:25,035
My office will send
you the paperwork.
820
00:40:32,483 --> 00:40:33,848
What the hell was that?
821
00:40:34,452 --> 00:40:35,578
What the hell was what?
822
00:40:35,887 --> 00:40:38,822
His alibi doesn't hold up.
In your opinion.
823
00:40:39,190 --> 00:40:41,818
We can ask Susan Tashjian's
trainer if she was at the gym.
824
00:40:45,396 --> 00:40:47,330
You'd rather give
immunity to a murderer.
825
00:40:48,499 --> 00:40:50,660
Jack, he's gonna take the
stand, he's going to lie,
826
00:40:50,735 --> 00:40:53,363
and you don't care?
What are you accusing me of?
827
00:40:54,839 --> 00:40:57,330
Looks to me like you're
about to suborn perjury.
828
00:40:59,877 --> 00:41:02,242
Suppose you're right
about Tashjian.
829
00:41:02,312 --> 00:41:04,610
How would you make
the case against him?
830
00:41:05,549 --> 00:41:09,815
Only four people know for sure where
he was that night 10 months ago.
831
00:41:10,320 --> 00:41:13,915
Tashjian, his wife,
Kaiser and Russo.
832
00:41:15,025 --> 00:41:16,788
You'll never prove
he was lying.
833
00:41:18,862 --> 00:41:22,821
The choice is not convicting
Russo or convicting Tashjian.
834
00:41:23,934 --> 00:41:28,928
The choice is Russo or nothing.
He's a five-time killer.
835
00:41:29,306 --> 00:41:32,070
And Tashjian is telling
enough truth to convict him.
836
00:41:37,180 --> 00:41:38,442
If you're not
comfortable with that,
837
00:41:38,515 --> 00:41:41,815
someone else can fill the
second chair on this one.
838
00:41:47,625 --> 00:41:51,584
When I heard Kaiser was found dead,
I was stunned. I was scared.
839
00:41:51,796 --> 00:41:53,821
What did you do?
Nothing.
840
00:41:54,132 --> 00:41:56,293
I tried hard to keep up
with our payments.
841
00:41:56,367 --> 00:41:58,130
I didn't want to be
next on Russo's list.
842
00:41:58,202 --> 00:42:02,229
Objection. Is there a list in evidence?
Sustained.
843
00:42:03,174 --> 00:42:06,200
Did you discuss the status
of your loan with Mr. Russo?
844
00:42:06,277 --> 00:42:08,871
Yes. My wife and I
tried to renegotiate it.
845
00:42:08,946 --> 00:42:10,311
But Russo just
wanted his money.
846
00:42:10,381 --> 00:42:12,372
He said he was
calling in the loan.
847
00:42:12,450 --> 00:42:14,543
What did you think
he meant by that?
848
00:42:14,619 --> 00:42:16,246
It sounded like
a death threat to me.
849
00:42:16,320 --> 00:42:17,981
Objection.
Sustained.
850
00:42:21,159 --> 00:42:23,184
What did you say
to Mr. Russo?
851
00:42:23,995 --> 00:42:25,963
I begged him for more time.
852
00:42:26,631 --> 00:42:29,327
Then Shelly Ganz was
killed in our garage.
853
00:42:29,400 --> 00:42:33,461
I warned my wife he's after us,
but she didn't believe me.
854
00:42:33,538 --> 00:42:35,472
So Russo killed her.
855
00:42:35,540 --> 00:42:38,031
Objection.
He's speculating.
856
00:42:38,176 --> 00:42:41,942
Mr. Tashjian, what's the factual
basis for your allegation?
857
00:42:43,448 --> 00:42:45,416
I know how he ran his business.
858
00:42:45,483 --> 00:42:48,418
That's what I'm trying to get to.
How do you know any of this?
859
00:42:50,655 --> 00:42:55,456
Kaiser is dead. Shelly Ganz is dead.
My wife is dead. I just know.
860
00:42:55,526 --> 00:42:59,792
Did you see or hear anything linking Mr.
Russo to these crimes?
861
00:43:01,899 --> 00:43:03,924
The objection is sustained.
862
00:43:04,001 --> 00:43:06,628
The jury will disregard the
witness' unfounded allegations...
863
00:43:06,703 --> 00:43:08,830
No, it's true.
That's enough, Mr. Tashjian.
864
00:43:09,573 --> 00:43:10,904
May I, Your Honor?
865
00:43:13,977 --> 00:43:15,706
How do you know it's true, sir?
866
00:43:21,519 --> 00:43:25,956
You weren't with your wife on the night
that Kaiser was killed, were you?
867
00:43:27,592 --> 00:43:32,359
What did you do that night that
was worth $200,000 to Mr. Russo,
868
00:43:32,897 --> 00:43:34,194
the man you claim
killed your wife?
869
00:43:34,332 --> 00:43:35,959
Mr. McCoy, unless you
have other questions...
870
00:43:36,033 --> 00:43:37,591
I killed Kaiser.
871
00:43:41,906 --> 00:43:43,703
Russo told me to.
872
00:43:46,277 --> 00:43:49,178
I had to do it, or he
was gonna kill Susan.
873
00:43:52,450 --> 00:43:54,111
God forgive me.
874
00:43:55,253 --> 00:43:58,222
I didn't know what I was
getting myself into.
875
00:43:58,289 --> 00:44:00,382
I didn't know who
I was dealing with.
876
00:44:03,261 --> 00:44:04,353
I'm sorry.
877
00:44:07,532 --> 00:44:09,022
I'm so sorry.
878
00:44:16,908 --> 00:44:19,138
No more questions, Your Honor.
879
00:44:24,982 --> 00:44:28,213
So,
that moron Flores,
880
00:44:30,254 --> 00:44:33,189
he did Waxman and
the girl in the garage,
881
00:44:34,325 --> 00:44:39,558
and Ray Mayeri, he's
in the carting business,
882
00:44:41,566 --> 00:44:43,864
he did Susan Tashjian.
883
00:44:45,269 --> 00:44:46,668
That's everybody.
884
00:44:48,172 --> 00:44:50,436
Now, if you want to talk
about your investors,
885
00:44:50,508 --> 00:44:54,501
I could see to it that you're incarcerated
in a medium-security facility.
886
00:44:54,579 --> 00:44:56,308
Get out of here, will you?
887
00:44:56,380 --> 00:44:57,814
I got a wife and a kid
to worry about.
888
00:44:59,117 --> 00:45:00,982
Just thought I'd ask.
889
00:45:15,666 --> 00:45:18,362
You knew all along Tashjian
killed Kaiser, didn't you?
890
00:45:23,374 --> 00:45:25,842
Don't worry, I'm not gonna
run to the Ethics Committee.
891
00:45:25,910 --> 00:45:28,640
I didn't know with
absolute certainty.
892
00:45:29,881 --> 00:45:32,543
One way or another, I had to
get Tashjian on the stand.
893
00:45:32,950 --> 00:45:34,440
Well, hats off.
894
00:45:34,518 --> 00:45:37,681
Sometimes you have to
make deals with the devil.
895
00:45:37,922 --> 00:45:41,255
Just as long as you don't
get your eyebrows singed.
896
00:45:42,126 --> 00:45:46,358
Anyway, Tashjian owes somebody
half a million dollars.
897
00:45:46,430 --> 00:45:49,490
I'm sure they'll be around to
collect it one of these days.
898
00:45:49,567 --> 00:45:52,661
And as for the Ethics
Committee, you owe me one.
