NARRATOR:
In the criminal justice system
2
00:00:08,348 --> 00:00:12,228
the people are represented
by two separate
yet equally important groups,
3
00:00:12,285 --> 00:00:14,128
the police
who investigate crime
4
00:00:14,187 --> 00:00:16,963
and the district attorneys
who prosecute the offenders.
5
00:00:17,023 --> 00:00:18,969
These are their stories.
6
00:00:19,626 --> 00:00:21,572
BOUNCER: I'm sorry, ladies,
you're not on the list.
7
00:00:21,628 --> 00:00:24,768
We're supposed
to have reservations.
We're friends of Jellybean.
8
00:00:24,831 --> 00:00:26,538
Yeah?
You and half
of Flatbush.
9
00:00:26,599 --> 00:00:29,205
Listen, can't we
just go in and tell
him we're here?
10
00:00:29,269 --> 00:00:31,010
(CHUCKLES)
You disappoint me.
11
00:00:31,070 --> 00:00:32,276
What's happening,
C.J.
How's everything?
12
00:00:32,338 --> 00:00:33,408
All right.
13
00:00:33,473 --> 00:00:35,975
Good to see you.
Good to see you,
too. Okay.
14
00:00:36,508 --> 00:00:38,818
How come you didn't
check to see if
he was on the list?
15
00:00:38,877 --> 00:00:42,154
You probably get off
on fine women like us
sweating you all night.
16
00:00:42,214 --> 00:00:44,057
Y'all need to
step back now, please.
17
00:00:44,116 --> 00:00:45,652
(sun FIRING)
18
00:00:45,717 --> 00:00:47,458
(PEOPLE SCREAMING)
19
00:00:49,555 --> 00:00:50,898
Hey, hey,
hold on a second.
What's happening?
20
00:00:50,956 --> 00:00:52,936
What's going on?
Some cat pulled out
his piece in there!
21
00:00:55,561 --> 00:00:56,972
SERGEANT: We got here
at 2:45,
22
00:00:57,029 --> 00:00:59,305
same time EMS was
putting him in the bus.
23
00:00:59,364 --> 00:01:01,537
They took him to Roosevelt.
Two shots to the chest.
24
00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:03,876
He gonna make it?
Died on the
way over.
25
00:01:03,936 --> 00:01:05,108
Got a name?
26
00:01:05,170 --> 00:01:06,979
Checked his ID
as they were
loading him up.
27
00:01:07,072 --> 00:01:10,781
Jerome Cabey, black,
24 years old.
Brooklyn address.
28
00:01:10,842 --> 00:01:13,482
There's where
we found him.
ED: This money was left
lying here like this?
29
00:01:13,545 --> 00:01:15,388
Nobody touched
a thing, Detective.
30
00:01:15,447 --> 00:01:17,051
I'm surprised nobody
scooped it up.
31
00:01:17,115 --> 00:01:19,823
Place was pretty crowded.
Four, five hundred people.
32
00:01:20,686 --> 00:01:23,895
Well, I'm glad
they all stuck around
to do their civic duty.
33
00:02:13,437 --> 00:02:15,576
Do you know what
something like this is
going to do to business?
34
00:02:15,640 --> 00:02:16,914
First time this
happened here?
35
00:02:16,974 --> 00:02:18,476
Mega-Fly is
an upscale club.
36
00:02:18,542 --> 00:02:21,489
We have models,
actors, sports figures
in almost every night.
37
00:02:21,545 --> 00:02:22,956
And you don't
use metal detectors?
38
00:02:23,014 --> 00:02:24,493
Our clientèle
doesn't appreciate
39
00:02:24,548 --> 00:02:26,050
being hand-scanned
on the way in.
40
00:02:26,117 --> 00:02:27,460
So how do you
provide security?
41
00:02:27,518 --> 00:02:29,794
We have a guest list.
You have to be
on it to get in.
42
00:02:29,854 --> 00:02:32,027
Was Jerome Cabey
on the list?
No.
43
00:02:32,089 --> 00:02:33,261
Fool-proof
system, huh?
44
00:02:33,324 --> 00:02:35,031
Any drugs ever sold
in the club, Mr. Listen?
45
00:02:35,092 --> 00:02:37,629
This isn't some
bridge-and-tunnel
spot, Detective.
46
00:02:37,695 --> 00:02:39,265
Yeah, I know,
it's real upscale.
47
00:02:39,330 --> 00:02:40,673
But I'm still
asking the question.
48
00:02:40,731 --> 00:02:42,404
Nothing I know of,
all right?
49
00:02:42,466 --> 00:02:44,639
ED: And what about
the guy who got shot?
50
00:02:44,702 --> 00:02:47,683
What about him?
BRISCOE: You never
saw him before, huh?
51
00:02:47,738 --> 00:02:49,615
I saw him laying
there on the ground.
52
00:02:49,974 --> 00:02:50,975
Well, how did
he get in?
53
00:02:51,042 --> 00:02:53,818
I mean, you're
running this real
secure spot and all.
54
00:02:56,113 --> 00:02:57,682
BOUNCER: I've been
up front six months now.
55
00:02:57,747 --> 00:02:59,556
I worked the rope at Lotus,
Sound Factory...
56
00:02:59,616 --> 00:03:01,618
I mean, I got
a pretty good idea
of somebody's shape.
57
00:03:01,685 --> 00:03:03,062
Was Cabey cool
with you?
58
00:03:03,119 --> 00:03:04,689
BOUNCER: I don't
remember the brother.
59
00:03:04,754 --> 00:03:06,233
I mean, I can't keep
track of everybody.
60
00:03:06,289 --> 00:03:07,393
You were just saying
how good you are.
61
00:03:07,457 --> 00:03:09,960
I know, but it was
800 people in and out
of here last night.
62
00:03:10,026 --> 00:03:13,235
And one of 'em was
some nobody you let in
who wound up dead.
63
00:03:13,296 --> 00:03:14,798
BOUNCER: So you
putting this on me?
Well, if there's
64
00:03:14,864 --> 00:03:17,538
a reasonable explanation
for this, it's time to
put it out there.
65
00:03:19,235 --> 00:03:22,148
And it doesn't get
back to my boss?
You have my word.
66
00:03:24,741 --> 00:03:26,084
(SIGHS)
67
00:03:27,110 --> 00:03:29,647
I used to work
with his big sister
in the Bronx.
68
00:03:29,713 --> 00:03:31,715
I let him in sometimes,
just to see the DJs.
69
00:03:31,781 --> 00:03:33,658
I mean, Bone had ambitions,
you know what I'm saying?
70
00:03:33,717 --> 00:03:36,027
Bone?
Yeah, that's what
they called him.
71
00:03:36,086 --> 00:03:37,690
I mean, he had
kind of an attitude.
72
00:03:37,754 --> 00:03:40,325
You know, not bad,
just stubborn.
73
00:03:41,791 --> 00:03:45,034
ED: We ran Cabey's
name through BCI.
He's never been arrested.
74
00:03:45,095 --> 00:03:47,974
And none of the 500
people in the place
saw anything?
75
00:03:48,031 --> 00:03:51,604
Well, we talked to about
a half-dozen employees
who stuck around.
76
00:03:51,668 --> 00:03:54,410
They all heard the shots,
then the rest was just mayhem.
77
00:03:54,471 --> 00:03:56,815
We sent the cash
we found on the floor
78
00:03:56,873 --> 00:03:58,716
and the shell
casings to Latent.
79
00:03:58,775 --> 00:04:01,813
Cordova's breaking down
the credit card receipts
and the guest list.
80
00:04:01,878 --> 00:04:04,791
Excuse me.
You locate the
next of kin?
81
00:04:04,848 --> 00:04:07,020
The bouncer at the club
mentioned a sister,
82
00:04:07,082 --> 00:04:08,527
but he didn't have
a current address.
83
00:04:08,584 --> 00:04:10,586
Well, the hospital sent
the body to the M.E.
84
00:04:10,652 --> 00:04:13,189
Maybe there's something
in the personal effects.
85
00:04:15,457 --> 00:04:17,528
M.E.: He took two shots
to the upper torso.
86
00:04:17,593 --> 00:04:19,937
Penetrated the right lung
and the left ventricle.
87
00:04:19,995 --> 00:04:22,134
He was pronounced
at 2:53 a.m.
88
00:04:22,197 --> 00:04:24,074
Any guess on the gun?
89
00:04:24,133 --> 00:04:28,582
From the size
of the entry wounds,
a 9mm or .357.
90
00:04:28,637 --> 00:04:29,911
You run a tox screen?
91
00:04:29,972 --> 00:04:32,248
No drugs,
no alcohol.
92
00:04:32,307 --> 00:04:34,719
Like the man said,
he just came
for the music.
93
00:04:34,777 --> 00:04:36,848
This stuff was
on the body.
94
00:04:41,583 --> 00:04:46,054
ED: Funky shades, ID, keys
Ah, it's a two-way.
95
00:04:47,923 --> 00:04:51,564
Still holding a charge.
Anything on it
from last night?
96
00:04:51,627 --> 00:04:53,834
The last page was
at 12:40 a.m.
97
00:04:53,896 --> 00:04:55,807
"Meet you at Mega-Fly."
98
00:04:55,864 --> 00:04:58,105
I can run the caller ID,
see who sent it.
99
00:04:58,167 --> 00:04:59,908
Hey, why not
kill two birds?
100
00:04:59,968 --> 00:05:03,415
Let's hit this guy back,
ask him to meet Bone
at his apartment.
101
00:05:05,407 --> 00:05:07,353
Cabey live
here alone?
Far as I know.
102
00:05:07,443 --> 00:05:09,889
Any problems?
Oh, he rides my ass
about fixing
103
00:05:09,945 --> 00:05:11,515
the lock on
the vestibule door.
104
00:05:11,580 --> 00:05:13,582
No, not your problems, his.
105
00:05:13,649 --> 00:05:14,992
No, but he
gives the tenants
106
00:05:15,050 --> 00:05:17,087
a lot of trouble here
with all this here music.
107
00:05:17,152 --> 00:05:18,152
This dude was
into spinning.
108
00:05:18,219 --> 00:05:21,098
There's about five to six
thousand dollars' worth of
mixing equipment up in here.
109
00:05:21,155 --> 00:05:23,692
I gotta hound him every
month about the rent.
110
00:05:23,758 --> 00:05:26,466
MAN: Check it out.
Bone left his door open.
111
00:05:26,527 --> 00:05:30,031
Yo, Bone!
Oh, uh, wrong
apartment. Sorry.
112
00:05:30,097 --> 00:05:31,633
ED: We've been waiting
for you, fellas.
113
00:05:31,699 --> 00:05:33,701
(EXHALES)
Where's Bone at?
114
00:05:33,935 --> 00:05:35,710
He's indisposed.
115
00:05:35,770 --> 00:05:39,308
It's a setup, fool.
You two at Mega-Fly
last night?
116
00:05:40,174 --> 00:05:41,448
Bone got shot.
117
00:05:42,276 --> 00:05:43,721
Is he okay?
118
00:05:43,811 --> 00:05:46,883
(MAN EXCLAIMS)
Hey, if you guys
saw anything,
119
00:05:46,948 --> 00:05:49,360
you might be able
to help find out
who shot him.
120
00:05:49,417 --> 00:05:50,555
We couldn't get in.
121
00:05:50,685 --> 00:05:52,892
ED: You know if he had
a beef with anybody?
122
00:05:52,954 --> 00:05:55,127
With Bone?
Why would they?
123
00:05:55,223 --> 00:05:58,693
Well, we were just
admiring all his fancy
recording equipment.
124
00:05:58,759 --> 00:06:00,329
Bone have a job to
pay for all this stuff?
125
00:06:02,230 --> 00:06:03,573
I don't know.
126
00:06:04,565 --> 00:06:08,877
All right, tough guys.
He have any relatives
we can notify he's dead?
127
00:06:12,006 --> 00:06:14,213
ED: We're very sorry about
your brother, Mrs. Royal.
128
00:06:15,543 --> 00:06:17,989
Was he in a fight
or something like that?
129
00:06:18,079 --> 00:06:19,456
Why do you say that?
130
00:06:19,514 --> 00:06:21,790
(SIGHS) Jerome had
a chip on his shoulder.
131
00:06:22,683 --> 00:06:23,855
He didn't go
looking for trouble,
132
00:06:23,918 --> 00:06:26,057
but he just never knew
when to back down.
133
00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:28,497
Was he having trouble
with anybody recently?
134
00:06:28,555 --> 00:06:30,535
I don't know.
(EXHALES)
135
00:06:31,658 --> 00:06:34,104
I mean, I did the best
I could for him
after our mother died
136
00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:37,300
but I've got a family
of my own now, you know.
137
00:06:38,298 --> 00:06:41,279
These last few years,
Jerome was out there
on his own mostly.
138
00:06:41,334 --> 00:06:42,642
When was the last
time you saw him?
139
00:06:43,103 --> 00:06:45,447
He came by last week
to play me his demo.
140
00:06:46,506 --> 00:06:50,682
He was real proud of it.
Said he was going to send it
to the record companies.
141
00:06:50,777 --> 00:06:51,983
Do you have any idea
how he paid
142
00:06:52,045 --> 00:06:54,218
for all that equipment
he had in his apartment?
143
00:06:56,316 --> 00:06:58,023
(SIGHS)
144
00:06:58,084 --> 00:06:59,825
BRISCOE: What is it,
Mrs. Royal?
145
00:07:01,054 --> 00:07:03,557
Jerome used to bring
his laundry over.
146
00:07:05,091 --> 00:07:08,800
I found a bunch of
those little plastic bags
in one of his pockets,
147
00:07:08,862 --> 00:07:10,705
like the ones
they sell cocaine in.
148
00:07:11,464 --> 00:07:13,375
There was nothing
in them,
149
00:07:13,433 --> 00:07:17,142
but I meant to talk
to him about it.
150
00:07:20,807 --> 00:07:22,445
I thought he went
for the music.
151
00:07:22,509 --> 00:07:24,011
Not a bad place
to do business.
152
00:07:24,077 --> 00:07:25,522
We didn't find
any drugs on him.
153
00:07:25,579 --> 00:07:28,685
Maybe he dumped his stash
before the fun started.
154
00:07:28,748 --> 00:07:32,286
Well, Latent says three
of the bills from the club
had Cabey's prints on them.
155
00:07:32,352 --> 00:07:33,990
Nothing on the shell casings.
156
00:07:34,054 --> 00:07:36,432
So, we know he
handled the money.
157
00:07:37,023 --> 00:07:40,526
Here are all the names and
addresses on the credit card
users at Mega-Fly that night.
158
00:07:40,593 --> 00:07:41,833
Anybody willing
to talk to us?
159
00:07:41,894 --> 00:07:43,498
Nobody who'll admit
to seeing anything.
160
00:07:43,562 --> 00:07:46,304
But there are
a few here we're
already familiar with.
161
00:07:46,365 --> 00:07:48,140
I ran all the names
for drug arrests.
162
00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:52,171
So, how many
of the A-list clients
have A-list records?
163
00:07:52,271 --> 00:07:54,877
Uh, three for possession,
two for sale.
164
00:07:54,940 --> 00:07:57,045
Either one of
the sales for coke?
165
00:07:57,109 --> 00:07:58,144
Ernie Salerno.
166
00:07:58,210 --> 00:08:00,656
Here's his description
and the last known address.
167
00:08:02,748 --> 00:08:04,318
(BEATBOXING)
168
00:08:04,383 --> 00:08:06,624
Hey, Ernie!
Yo?
169
00:08:06,685 --> 00:08:09,029
Take a long walk, fellas.
170
00:08:09,088 --> 00:08:10,533
We heard you were
selling drugs out here.
171
00:08:10,589 --> 00:08:12,432
We got probable
cause to go through
your pockets.
172
00:08:12,491 --> 00:08:13,868
You make it sound
like I got a choice.
173
00:08:13,926 --> 00:08:16,770
Well, if you're
straight with us,
you got plenty of choices.
174
00:08:16,862 --> 00:08:20,207
Unless you want us to
play finders-keepers with
whatever you're holding.
175
00:08:20,265 --> 00:08:21,266
What do you
want to know?
176
00:08:21,333 --> 00:08:23,540
What happened
at Mega-Fly
Saturday night?
177
00:08:23,602 --> 00:08:25,673
I wasn't there.
So, you're not
the Ernie Salerno
178
00:08:25,738 --> 00:08:28,776
that was on the guest list
that lives in this building?
179
00:08:28,841 --> 00:08:32,379
Now, stop screwing around
and tell us how a drug
dealer got on that list.
180
00:08:34,947 --> 00:08:37,018
Lonnie, the floor manager,
he knows me.
181
00:08:38,217 --> 00:08:39,696
What happened once
you got in there?
182
00:08:39,752 --> 00:08:42,130
I seen the dead kid
doing some business.
183
00:08:42,187 --> 00:08:44,997
And then,
him and Lonnie was
beefing about something.
184
00:08:45,624 --> 00:08:48,332
I think Lonnie was
trying to throw him out.
185
00:08:48,394 --> 00:08:50,373
ED: You lied to us
about drugs in the club,
Mr. Listen.
186
00:08:50,428 --> 00:08:54,672
You can't put that on me.
Nobody'd be selling
if nobody was buying.
187
00:08:54,766 --> 00:08:58,543
So, what? You just
look the other way for
your high-tone clientèle?
188
00:08:59,470 --> 00:09:02,417
We got a witness
that said you and
Bone had a problem.
189
00:09:03,875 --> 00:09:06,947
What happened, Lonnie?
You selective about who
does business in there?
190
00:09:07,011 --> 00:09:08,285
I don't have anything
to do with that.
191
00:09:08,346 --> 00:09:10,053
ED: But you did
have an argument?
Yeah.
192
00:09:10,114 --> 00:09:12,116
BRISCOE: So,
what was it about?
193
00:09:12,183 --> 00:09:14,925
Look, Bone wanted
to spin at the club.
194
00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:18,366
A few weeks back,
he gave me a demo
to listen to.
195
00:09:19,657 --> 00:09:22,228
I thought his stuff was wack,
and I told him so.
196
00:09:22,293 --> 00:09:24,569
You know, Lonnie,
I gotta tell you,
197
00:09:24,629 --> 00:09:26,233
I don't buy this
for a minute.
198
00:09:26,297 --> 00:09:28,208
You know, if you think
business is bad now,
199
00:09:28,266 --> 00:09:30,405
wait till we slap
a padlock on the place.
200
00:09:30,468 --> 00:09:33,574
Look, he mouthed off at me,
and that was all.
201
00:09:33,638 --> 00:09:37,518
Sol headed him over
to the coat check,
then I went back to my office.
202
00:09:37,575 --> 00:09:39,646
A few minutes later,
I heard the shots.
203
00:09:40,178 --> 00:09:43,182
This guy's playing us, Ed.
Let's call ESU.
204
00:09:43,247 --> 00:09:45,090
Get a locksmith over
there right away.
205
00:09:45,149 --> 00:09:46,719
LONNIE: Wait.
206
00:09:48,653 --> 00:09:51,190
You heard of G-Trane?
The G-Trane?
207
00:09:51,289 --> 00:09:53,291
Even I've heard
of G-Trane.
208
00:09:53,491 --> 00:09:57,234
Well, Trane was there
that night with a bunch
of his people.
209
00:09:57,295 --> 00:10:01,265
And what I heard was,
this kid Cabey threw
some bills in Trane's face,
210
00:10:01,331 --> 00:10:04,471
called him a sellout,
and then all hell broke loose.
211
00:10:05,068 --> 00:10:07,014
Why didn't you
tell us this before?
212
00:10:07,537 --> 00:10:11,815
(SCOFFS) You think I want
to be known as the brother
who dimed out Trane Collins?
213
00:10:13,744 --> 00:10:15,018
(SIGHS)
214
00:10:17,180 --> 00:10:18,557
According to
the floor manager,
215
00:10:18,615 --> 00:10:21,027
G-Trane was there
with a small entourage.
216
00:10:21,084 --> 00:10:22,358
His name's not
on the list.
217
00:10:22,419 --> 00:10:25,093
Uh-uh. There's
a secret list.
218
00:10:25,155 --> 00:10:28,728
Allie Lawrence.
I just saw her in a
movie with Brad Pitt.
219
00:10:28,792 --> 00:10:30,738
From Compton to
the silver screen.
220
00:10:30,794 --> 00:10:33,934
Her and G-Trane were in
the VIP room together.
221
00:10:33,997 --> 00:10:37,274
Now, they both came down
to leave just before
the shooting started.
222
00:10:37,367 --> 00:10:41,816
So, you're telling me G-Trane
Collins blew someone away
in front of 500 people.
223
00:10:41,872 --> 00:10:44,045
If he did,
ain't nobody say
boo about it.
224
00:10:44,107 --> 00:10:46,348
BRISCOE: Hey,
for what it's worth,
the guy's sheet is clean.
225
00:10:46,409 --> 00:10:48,047
Is the Prince
of Hip-Hop in town?
226
00:10:48,445 --> 00:10:50,618
Yep. At his Park
Avenue townhouse.
227
00:10:51,381 --> 00:10:52,553
Where's Allie Lawrence?
228
00:10:52,616 --> 00:10:55,688
Her agent said she left
the next morning to
do a movie in Mexico.
229
00:10:55,752 --> 00:10:58,631
This club manager,
is he a reliable witness?
230
00:10:58,688 --> 00:11:02,363
He didn't see it go down,
but he heard it from one
of his coat-check girls,
231
00:11:02,425 --> 00:11:04,427
who didn't stick around
to tell us her story.
232
00:11:04,494 --> 00:11:06,872
Yeah, so let's get it straight
from the horse's mouth.
233
00:11:06,963 --> 00:11:09,739
You know, this whole thing
could be just a rumor
gone out of control.
234
00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:12,609
So what? We're gonna cut
the guy some slack because
he won a couple of Grammys?
235
00:11:12,668 --> 00:11:15,478
Nope. But we're gonna lock
it down as tight as we can
236
00:11:15,538 --> 00:11:18,883
so we don't embarrass anyone,
including ourselves.
237
00:11:20,810 --> 00:11:23,256
I was so excited
when they came in.
238
00:11:23,312 --> 00:11:25,690
I mean, we have
famous people coming
in there all the time,
239
00:11:25,748 --> 00:11:29,161
but G-Trane
and Allie Lawrence?
Oh, my God.
240
00:11:29,218 --> 00:11:31,198
Did you see
what happened?
241
00:11:32,755 --> 00:11:34,098
Not really.
242
00:11:34,156 --> 00:11:36,727
Look, I wouldn't
worry to much about
your job, Ms. Reese.
243
00:11:36,792 --> 00:11:39,966
I don't think there are
gonna be too many coats to
check at Mega-Fly for a while.
244
00:11:40,029 --> 00:11:43,101
Just so you know,
your boss is probably gonna
do a little time for this.
245
00:11:44,433 --> 00:11:45,810
I was working
in the coatroom.
246
00:11:45,868 --> 00:11:50,942
I saw Trane
and Allie Lawrence
walking down the stairs.
247
00:11:51,006 --> 00:11:53,885
Then the big guy who
was with Trane, I guess
it was his bodyguard,
248
00:11:53,943 --> 00:11:56,355
came over and
got Allie's jacket.
249
00:11:56,412 --> 00:11:59,018
The guy who was shot
started following them.
250
00:11:59,081 --> 00:12:00,492
And then
what happened?
251
00:12:01,317 --> 00:12:04,526
It was a little hard to see.
The place was packed,
you know.
252
00:12:05,087 --> 00:12:09,399
He said something to Trane,
and then he threw a handful
of money in Trane's face,
253
00:12:10,259 --> 00:12:13,172
and then I saw his
bodyguard with something
shiny in his hand.
254
00:12:13,229 --> 00:12:14,902
I'm pretty sure
it was a gun.
255
00:12:14,964 --> 00:12:16,910
A few seconds later
I heard the shots,
256
00:12:16,966 --> 00:12:19,173
and then the people
started going for the door.
257
00:12:19,235 --> 00:12:21,578
Did you ever see a gun
in Mr. Collins' hands?
258
00:12:21,636 --> 00:12:24,173
No. I never did.
259
00:12:28,710 --> 00:12:31,452
Nice to know
the hip-hop business
is recession-proof.
260
00:12:31,512 --> 00:12:33,150
This is the
corporate headquarters
261
00:12:33,214 --> 00:12:35,751
for Top Dawg Records,
Top Dawg Music.
262
00:12:35,817 --> 00:12:38,491
Where's the top dog?
Is he in his
office, Shandra?
263
00:12:38,553 --> 00:12:40,294
He left about
a half an hour ago.
264
00:12:40,955 --> 00:12:42,195
Where did he go?
265
00:12:42,257 --> 00:12:43,793
He had to run
out to the studio.
266
00:12:43,858 --> 00:12:45,166
Is there something
I can help you with?
267
00:12:45,226 --> 00:12:48,230
Yeah, would you mind
writing down the name of
your boss' bodyguard?
268
00:12:48,296 --> 00:12:52,039
(LAUGHS) You'll have
to talk to Mr. Collins about
any personal information.
269
00:12:52,634 --> 00:12:54,079
ED: What about an address?
270
00:12:56,504 --> 00:12:58,381
An address for the studio.
271
00:13:00,174 --> 00:13:01,585
(HIP-HOP MUSIC PLAYING)
272
00:13:01,643 --> 00:13:03,623
Right there,
right there. Yeah.
273
00:13:03,678 --> 00:13:05,248
Now run that base line in.
274
00:13:07,682 --> 00:13:09,684
Right there, right there.
275
00:13:09,984 --> 00:13:11,861
What can we
do for you?
276
00:13:12,420 --> 00:13:13,899
We're here
to see G-Trane.
277
00:13:13,955 --> 00:13:16,333
Hey, drop in the vocals
a little bit lower, please.
278
00:13:17,859 --> 00:13:19,736
He's busy.
So are we.
279
00:13:19,794 --> 00:13:22,468
Trane don't like visitors,
especially while
he's working.
280
00:13:22,530 --> 00:13:24,009
We just need
to see him for
a few minutes.
281
00:13:24,065 --> 00:13:26,602
Time is money, man.
Well, we're gonna talk
to him sooner or later.
282
00:13:26,668 --> 00:13:29,877
It don't matter.
Hey, you want to at
least tell him we're here.
283
00:13:31,138 --> 00:13:34,915
You guys want anything
from Trane, you gotta
talk to his lawyers.
284
00:13:39,379 --> 00:13:42,223
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, you banging
now, baby.
285
00:13:44,952 --> 00:13:47,262
My client has no obligation
to speak to the police.
286
00:13:47,321 --> 00:13:49,232
It just makes
it look like he's got
something to hide.
287
00:13:49,289 --> 00:13:50,529
Is he a suspect?
288
00:13:50,590 --> 00:13:52,433
Right now,
he's just a witness.
289
00:13:52,492 --> 00:13:54,563
He tells me
he didn't see a thing.
290
00:13:54,628 --> 00:13:57,268
Look, I don't care who
your client is, Mr. Garber.
291
00:13:57,331 --> 00:14:00,574
Unless we get
a statement from him,
we're going to the D.A.
292
00:14:00,634 --> 00:14:02,944
Let's not get bent
out of shape, Detective.
293
00:14:03,003 --> 00:14:05,279
Maybe I can convince Daryl
to make himself available.
294
00:14:05,339 --> 00:14:08,218
Just how long is this
convincing going to take?
295
00:14:08,275 --> 00:14:09,618
How's tomorrow?
296
00:14:11,611 --> 00:14:13,750
Bring him by the
precinct in the morning.
297
00:14:15,582 --> 00:14:17,323
Here, in my office.
298
00:14:20,921 --> 00:14:24,459
Were you at Mega-Fly last
Saturday night, Mr. Collins?
299
00:14:24,524 --> 00:14:26,868
Yeah, I was there.
300
00:14:26,960 --> 00:14:28,633
BRISCOE: Who else was
there with you?
301
00:14:28,695 --> 00:14:30,641
Why don't you
just ask him
what he saw?
302
00:14:30,697 --> 00:14:33,405
We already know
that Allie Lawrence
was there, Mr. Garber.
303
00:14:33,467 --> 00:14:34,844
She got nothing
to do with this.
304
00:14:34,901 --> 00:14:37,643
How can we know that
unless you tell us
what happened?
305
00:14:42,008 --> 00:14:44,420
(SIGHS) The three of us was
getting ready to leave,
306
00:14:44,477 --> 00:14:47,458
when this guy comes
up to me and tries to...
BRISCOE:
The three of you?
307
00:14:47,513 --> 00:14:49,993
Allie Lawrence and
Mr. Collins' bodyguard.
308
00:14:50,049 --> 00:14:54,088
Like I said,
the guy approached me,
threw money at me.
309
00:14:55,121 --> 00:14:56,361
You ever see
the guy before?
310
00:14:56,422 --> 00:14:58,368
Could you be a little
more specific, Detective?
311
00:14:58,424 --> 00:15:00,233
ED: It was
a pretty basic question.
312
00:15:00,292 --> 00:15:02,329
Is he a friend of his?
313
00:15:02,395 --> 00:15:03,874
Were you ever
introduced before?
314
00:15:03,929 --> 00:15:05,237
Did you see him
on the way in?
315
00:15:05,297 --> 00:15:06,571
All of the above.
316
00:15:08,033 --> 00:15:09,774
No, I never seen him before.
317
00:15:11,437 --> 00:15:12,677
What happened then?
318
00:15:12,738 --> 00:15:14,342
We walked away.
319
00:15:14,407 --> 00:15:16,546
Halfway to the door
I hear shots,
320
00:15:16,609 --> 00:15:18,213
run out with everybody else.
321
00:15:18,277 --> 00:15:20,257
Did you exchange words
with the guy?
322
00:15:20,312 --> 00:15:22,656
Let's assume he did.
Next question.
323
00:15:24,917 --> 00:15:26,590
Did your bodyguard
have a gun?
324
00:15:28,354 --> 00:15:30,766
I'm sure he did.
He has a carry license.
325
00:15:30,823 --> 00:15:33,633
He's downstairs
with my client's car.
326
00:15:37,630 --> 00:15:39,803
So what went down?
327
00:15:39,865 --> 00:15:43,574
We're going out,
dude throws some
money at Trane,
328
00:15:43,636 --> 00:15:47,106
we walk away,
somebody opens up.
329
00:15:47,173 --> 00:15:49,278
BRISCOE: How far
did you get before
you heard the gunshots?
330
00:15:49,341 --> 00:15:50,615
Halfway to the door.
331
00:15:50,676 --> 00:15:52,279
Do you know the guy
that dissed your boss?
332
00:15:52,343 --> 00:15:53,583
Nah, I never
seen him, man.
333
00:15:53,645 --> 00:15:54,817
You strapped?
334
00:15:57,182 --> 00:15:58,855
That's a 9mm?
335
00:15:58,917 --> 00:16:02,091
That's right.
I'm going in my pocket
for my permit.
336
00:16:04,088 --> 00:16:05,328
(EXHALES)
337
00:16:08,026 --> 00:16:09,266
You mind if we take
custody of the gun?
338
00:16:09,327 --> 00:16:11,807
Hell, yeah.
I need it for my job.
339
00:16:12,630 --> 00:16:14,837
ED: We'll be in touch.
Yeah, whatever.
340
00:16:16,468 --> 00:16:17,640
They got their
stories straight.
341
00:16:17,702 --> 00:16:20,012
We gotta get a look
at that 9mm.
342
00:16:20,371 --> 00:16:22,248
Oh, you know what?
343
00:16:22,307 --> 00:16:25,151
You're parked in
a no-standing zone,
big guy.
344
00:16:25,243 --> 00:16:26,916
Move the car.
345
00:16:26,978 --> 00:16:28,548
Write me
a damn ticket.
346
00:16:28,613 --> 00:16:30,524
I don't have to,
'cause I can arrest you
347
00:16:30,582 --> 00:16:32,584
for refusing to obey
a lawful order.
348
00:16:32,650 --> 00:16:35,358
Take custody of
his gun, Ed.
We did ask nicely.
349
00:16:38,923 --> 00:16:42,268
We've got witnesses
who saw you pull
a gun on the victim.
350
00:16:42,327 --> 00:16:45,171
We're having it
tested right now.
Yeah, so test it.
351
00:16:45,263 --> 00:16:46,606
So what happened?
This guy disses your boss,
352
00:16:46,664 --> 00:16:48,735
and you administer
a little street justice?
353
00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:50,541
I didn't do a damn thing.
354
00:16:50,935 --> 00:16:55,213
Listen, if this guy
was all up in your face,
355
00:16:55,273 --> 00:16:58,049
you can always
plead self-defense.
356
00:16:58,109 --> 00:16:59,213
(KNOCK ON DOOR)
357
00:17:00,478 --> 00:17:02,514
Ballistics report.
Thanks.
358
00:17:04,882 --> 00:17:06,862
I told you,
I ain't shoot nobody.
359
00:17:07,451 --> 00:17:10,193
Now I'd like someone
to call me a cab.
360
00:17:10,254 --> 00:17:11,460
BRISCOE: Sit down.
361
00:17:11,522 --> 00:17:13,559
You 9mm's not
the murder weapon,
362
00:17:13,624 --> 00:17:16,400
but it's also
not the gun
you're licensed for.
363
00:17:16,493 --> 00:17:17,597
Different serial numbers.
364
00:17:17,661 --> 00:17:20,141
So, you're walking
around with an
unregistered weapon.
365
00:17:21,732 --> 00:17:23,734
I watch Trane when
he's out in Cali.
366
00:17:23,800 --> 00:17:26,440
Now, I bought that
gun legal in LA.
367
00:17:26,503 --> 00:17:28,483
Or you tossed
your New York piece
368
00:17:28,539 --> 00:17:30,519
after you shot
Jerome Cabey.
369
00:17:30,574 --> 00:17:32,850
I told you,
I ain't shoot nobody.
370
00:17:32,910 --> 00:17:34,253
Look, we'd like
to believe that, but...
371
00:17:34,311 --> 00:17:37,087
The suit I was wearing
that night's waiting to
go to the cleaners.
372
00:17:37,147 --> 00:17:39,753
You can test the sleeves
for gunshot residue.
373
00:17:39,817 --> 00:17:42,093
You been watching the
Discovery Channel, James?
374
00:17:42,152 --> 00:17:43,688
How do we know
it's the same suit?
375
00:17:43,754 --> 00:17:46,234
'Cause 20 people
took pictures of me
wearing it that night,
376
00:17:46,323 --> 00:17:50,237
and Trane spilled
some Cristal on my pants.
Got a big stain.
377
00:17:50,761 --> 00:17:53,139
Yeah. You and Monica Lewinsky.
378
00:17:54,431 --> 00:17:56,342
It's at the bottom
of my closet.
379
00:17:58,235 --> 00:18:00,146
I didn't run any tests
on the suit pants yet,
380
00:18:00,204 --> 00:18:03,276
but there is a stain,
and it sure smells
like stale wine.
381
00:18:03,407 --> 00:18:05,978
Is there any gunshot residue
on his jacket cuffs?
382
00:18:06,043 --> 00:18:08,148
I checked
the right and the left.
They're both clean.
383
00:18:08,212 --> 00:18:10,021
So, the guy could
be telling the truth.
384
00:18:10,080 --> 00:18:11,616
Is he right-handed?
385
00:18:11,682 --> 00:18:14,161
Uh, his holster
was on the left.
Yeah. Why do you ask?
386
00:18:14,217 --> 00:18:16,493
I expanded the test area
just for the hell of it.
387
00:18:16,552 --> 00:18:21,228
There's a spray of GAR
on the outer right arm,
below the shoulder.
388
00:18:21,591 --> 00:18:24,128
Well, he couldn't
shoot his gun with
his right hand
389
00:18:24,193 --> 00:18:27,106
and wind up with residue
on his right shoulder.
390
00:18:27,196 --> 00:18:30,803
And that means
he was standing to
the left of the shooter.
391
00:18:30,867 --> 00:18:32,778
I wonder who that was.
392
00:18:34,337 --> 00:18:36,510
You think the bodyguard's
protecting Collins?
393
00:18:36,572 --> 00:18:39,712
According to the witness,
they were standing together
when the shooting broke out.
394
00:18:39,775 --> 00:18:43,120
It could be that
Mr. Collins grabbed
the bodyguard's gun.
395
00:18:43,212 --> 00:18:44,691
The one he doesn't
have anymore.
396
00:18:44,747 --> 00:18:46,226
Why not a gun
of his own?
397
00:18:46,282 --> 00:18:48,353
You think he's stupid
enough to be packing?
398
00:18:48,417 --> 00:18:49,919
Well, it's all
about image, Lennie.
399
00:18:49,986 --> 00:18:53,399
He's on one of his CDs
flashing gang signs
and a MAC-10.
400
00:18:53,456 --> 00:18:56,266
Yeah, but a gun permit
would've popped
when we ran his sheet.
401
00:18:56,325 --> 00:18:58,965
I mean, if he's carrying
a piece, it's illegal.
402
00:18:59,462 --> 00:19:00,805
In New York.
403
00:19:04,400 --> 00:19:06,175
ED: This is a fax
from the LAPD.
404
00:19:06,235 --> 00:19:08,112
Your client bought
a Glock 9mm
405
00:19:08,170 --> 00:19:10,343
from a Los Angeles
gun shop two years ago.
406
00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:13,852
And?
And we'd like him to
produce the weapon
407
00:19:13,910 --> 00:19:15,480
for ballistics examination.
408
00:19:16,712 --> 00:19:17,850
I'm a suspect?
409
00:19:18,614 --> 00:19:21,026
Well, let's just say
you're on our guest list.
410
00:19:21,083 --> 00:19:23,120
And you expect him
to produce evidence
against himself?
411
00:19:23,185 --> 00:19:24,822
Well, if he wants
to get off the list,
412
00:19:24,886 --> 00:19:27,230
all he has to do
is turn in the gun.
413
00:19:27,289 --> 00:19:29,235
If he doesn't,
we'll just have
to turn his home
414
00:19:29,291 --> 00:19:31,396
and his office
inside out.
415
00:19:32,661 --> 00:19:34,538
Let me have a word
with my client.
416
00:19:35,163 --> 00:19:37,040
(WHISPERING INAUDIBLY)
417
00:19:42,771 --> 00:19:46,617
I'm sorry, Detectives,
but my client is
through cooperating,
418
00:19:46,675 --> 00:19:48,382
and this conversation
is over.
419
00:19:53,315 --> 00:19:54,817
Psychologically,
it could make sense.
420
00:19:54,883 --> 00:19:56,157
When Jerome Cabey
insulted him,
421
00:19:56,217 --> 00:19:58,629
he challenged Collins'
artistic integrity.
422
00:19:58,687 --> 00:20:01,190
But the motive
for the shooting plays
right into a stereotype.
423
00:20:01,256 --> 00:20:03,497
A stereotype Collins
himself embraces.
424
00:20:03,591 --> 00:20:07,004
Right. From what I've read,
he's a middle-class kid
from the suburbs.
425
00:20:07,629 --> 00:20:10,109
We have to be careful
not to make assumptions
about Collins
426
00:20:10,165 --> 00:20:12,577
based on the persona
he uses to sell his records.
427
00:20:12,634 --> 00:20:14,409
Well, everything we know
lines up against Collins.
428
00:20:14,469 --> 00:20:17,678
He had a confrontation
with the victim moments
before the shooting started.
429
00:20:17,772 --> 00:20:19,843
Our forensics evidence
exonerates the bodyguard,
430
00:20:19,908 --> 00:20:21,751
and Collins won't
produce his gun.
431
00:20:21,810 --> 00:20:24,154
It's the same
make and caliber
as the murder weapon.
432
00:20:24,212 --> 00:20:26,283
Can we prove he was
carrying it that night?
433
00:20:26,348 --> 00:20:28,385
SERENA: His bodyguard's
still stonewalling us.
434
00:20:28,450 --> 00:20:29,758
How about
Allie Lawrence?
435
00:20:29,818 --> 00:20:31,092
Nobody's been able
to interview her.
436
00:20:31,152 --> 00:20:33,655
She flew off to Mexico the
morning after the shooting.
437
00:20:33,754 --> 00:20:35,427
Now she's in
Los Angeles.
438
00:20:35,489 --> 00:20:38,231
Be nice to know what
she has to say before
we stick our necks out.
439
00:20:38,292 --> 00:20:41,796
Why don't you
fly to LA and talk
to her, Jack? Sorry.
440
00:20:41,862 --> 00:20:44,741
Serena, you might want
to take another shot
at the bodyguard.
441
00:20:46,934 --> 00:20:48,504
You're wasting
your time here.
442
00:20:48,569 --> 00:20:50,139
My client's got
nothing more to say.
443
00:20:51,305 --> 00:20:52,841
I noticed that
Top Dawg Records
444
00:20:52,906 --> 00:20:56,012
posted $25,000 bail for him
on the weapons charge.
445
00:20:56,076 --> 00:20:58,078
And they're paying
my fee as well.
446
00:20:58,145 --> 00:21:00,682
There's nothing wrong
with a company taking
care of an employee.
447
00:21:00,748 --> 00:21:02,557
Unless it's hush money.
448
00:21:03,784 --> 00:21:07,322
I wouldn't point fingers
with a gun charge that's
tantamount to blackmail.
449
00:21:09,857 --> 00:21:11,461
If he's buying your
allegiance, Mr. Wilson,
450
00:21:11,525 --> 00:21:13,596
maybe we can make you
a better offer.
451
00:21:13,661 --> 00:21:17,404
Testify about what happened,
and my boss guarantees
a walk on the gun.
452
00:21:17,798 --> 00:21:19,106
Not a chance.
453
00:21:20,100 --> 00:21:22,307
You're looking
at seven years.
I don't care.
454
00:21:23,270 --> 00:21:26,479
I'll go down for the gun and
whatever else you got on me,
455
00:21:27,241 --> 00:21:29,050
but I'm not testifying.
456
00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:35,326
LAWYER: Is this thing
against G-Trane really
going to happen?
457
00:21:35,849 --> 00:21:37,795
Let's see what your
client has to say
about that night.
458
00:21:37,851 --> 00:21:40,161
I want you to understand
that as her agent,
459
00:21:40,220 --> 00:21:43,064
I do my best
to steer her away
from that element.
460
00:21:43,557 --> 00:21:45,797
Dennis. Sonya.
Allie.
461
00:21:45,858 --> 00:21:49,738
Allie, this is, uh...
This is Mr. McCoy from
the Manhattan D.A.'s office.
462
00:21:49,796 --> 00:21:53,073
Oh, sorry I'm late.
The freeways are
crazy today.
463
00:21:53,132 --> 00:21:56,306
Can we get you some coffee?
Some spring water?
Oh, no, no, no, I'm cool.
464
00:21:57,370 --> 00:22:00,112
I'm here to ask you some
questions about your visit
465
00:22:00,173 --> 00:22:03,120
to Mega-Fly with Mr. Collins
about three weeks ago.
466
00:22:03,176 --> 00:22:04,985
Yes, I understand.
467
00:22:05,578 --> 00:22:08,582
Could you tell me
what happened as you
were leaving the club?
468
00:22:10,683 --> 00:22:12,594
Well, I didn't
see the shooting,
469
00:22:12,652 --> 00:22:13,960
if that's what
you're asking.
470
00:22:14,020 --> 00:22:16,523
Daryl told me later on
that somebody had been
shot in there, but...
471
00:22:16,589 --> 00:22:18,830
Is that why you
left New York in
such a hurry?
472
00:22:20,159 --> 00:22:22,935
SONYA: Allie had a commitment
to shoot a feature in Mexico.
473
00:22:22,995 --> 00:22:24,702
Her flight was set for weeks.
474
00:22:30,703 --> 00:22:34,845
We know Mr. Collins had
an argument with a patron.
Did you see that?
475
00:22:34,907 --> 00:22:36,409
No, I didn't.
476
00:22:36,476 --> 00:22:39,650
Do you know
if he was carrying a gun
that night, Ms. Lawrence?
477
00:22:41,347 --> 00:22:42,849
Can't you ask him?
478
00:22:44,951 --> 00:22:46,328
We have.
479
00:22:47,854 --> 00:22:51,996
Well, I think he remembers
everything better than me.
480
00:22:53,659 --> 00:22:55,569
I'd like to hear
what you remember.
481
00:22:55,627 --> 00:22:58,233
Suppose she doesn't have
anything more to say?
482
00:22:58,296 --> 00:23:00,367
If she's evading
our investigation,
483
00:23:00,432 --> 00:23:02,275
we can serve her
with a subpoena.
484
00:23:02,367 --> 00:23:05,439
If she refuses to comply,
she can be arrested
485
00:23:05,504 --> 00:23:08,246
as a material witness
here in Los Angeles,
486
00:23:08,306 --> 00:23:10,013
or anywhere else,
for that matter.
487
00:23:10,075 --> 00:23:11,816
Dennis, I really don't
need this right now.
488
00:23:11,877 --> 00:23:13,652
Can't we work something
out here Mr. McCoy?
489
00:23:13,712 --> 00:23:15,385
There are
contractual penalties
490
00:23:15,447 --> 00:23:17,449
if she doesn't
fulfill her obligations.
491
00:23:18,283 --> 00:23:21,662
We can accommodate her
if she's more forthcoming
with us.
492
00:23:24,689 --> 00:23:28,637
You know,
I don't like to have
my arm twisted.
493
00:23:28,693 --> 00:23:32,038
I think the best thing is
for me to say what I have
to say in court.
494
00:23:34,800 --> 00:23:36,609
(SIGHS) Good morning.
495
00:23:37,736 --> 00:23:39,079
Red-eye?
496
00:23:39,171 --> 00:23:41,242
You could've taken
the day off, Jack.
497
00:23:41,306 --> 00:23:42,717
And waste some more time.
498
00:23:42,774 --> 00:23:45,880
Mmm. Sounds like your meeting
went about as well as mine.
499
00:23:45,944 --> 00:23:48,322
LEWIN: The bodyguard
was loyal to a fault.
500
00:23:48,380 --> 00:23:50,758
Maybe we have to
get these people
inside a courtroom
501
00:23:50,816 --> 00:23:52,261
before they realize
we're serious.
502
00:23:52,317 --> 00:23:55,127
What about this
sinking feeling that we're
stepping into quicksand?
503
00:23:55,187 --> 00:23:57,633
Well, if a jury is
looking for an excuse
to acquit a celebrity,
504
00:23:57,689 --> 00:23:59,532
I'm not saying
they can't find one.
505
00:23:59,591 --> 00:24:02,367
But in my opinion,
it's a good
circumstantial case.
506
00:24:02,427 --> 00:24:03,963
No matter how strong
the evidence is,
507
00:24:04,029 --> 00:24:06,030
the media's going
to have a field day.
508
00:24:06,096 --> 00:24:07,541
So what are our options?
509
00:24:07,598 --> 00:24:09,544
SERENA: Well,
this case is not going
to improve with age.
510
00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:12,308
The cops can't find
a witness who saw Collins
pull the trigger.
511
00:24:12,369 --> 00:24:14,042
In almost every murder
we prosecute,
512
00:24:14,104 --> 00:24:15,879
the only eyewitness
is the victim.
513
00:24:17,208 --> 00:24:19,711
So if we stand still,
it looks like
we're indecisive.
514
00:24:19,777 --> 00:24:21,518
JACK: And if we run scared,
we're complicit
515
00:24:21,579 --> 00:24:25,925
in condoning the culture
of violence Collins
glorifies to turn a buck.
516
00:24:26,016 --> 00:24:29,293
Which all militates
in favor of an arrest.
So what's our downside?
517
00:24:29,353 --> 00:24:32,527
Well, win or lose,
some people are going to
make Collins into a martyr.
518
00:24:32,590 --> 00:24:34,433
And we're his persecutors.
519
00:24:34,491 --> 00:24:37,301
LEWIN: So, in other words,
this is an
eight-alarm migraine.
520
00:24:39,129 --> 00:24:41,666
What if we give Collins
the chance to come clean?
521
00:24:42,800 --> 00:24:45,804
Like I told the cops,
I did not shoot this man.
522
00:24:45,870 --> 00:24:47,508
SERENA: Then why won't
you produce your gun?
523
00:24:47,571 --> 00:24:49,881
Because it's an
unreasonable request.
524
00:24:49,940 --> 00:24:52,147
We're asking you to
set the record straight
525
00:24:52,209 --> 00:24:53,779
in the shooting death
of a young man.
526
00:24:53,844 --> 00:24:56,415
I don't see
anything unreasonable
about that at all.
527
00:24:56,480 --> 00:25:00,587
Maybe you should be
concentrating your efforts
on finding out who did it.
528
00:25:00,651 --> 00:25:03,427
There's no other
theory of the crime
that makes any sense.
529
00:25:03,520 --> 00:25:05,124
Mr. Collins had
motive, opportunity,
530
00:25:05,189 --> 00:25:07,829
and all his stonewalling
makes him look
guilty as sin.
531
00:25:07,891 --> 00:25:09,495
What is a jury
going to think
about your client
532
00:25:09,560 --> 00:25:11,904
when we call his
bodyguard to the stand
to take the Fifth?
533
00:25:11,962 --> 00:25:15,966
The point is, Mr. Garber,
we're left with no choice
but to run with it.
534
00:25:16,032 --> 00:25:17,511
You won't get very far
without a witness.
535
00:25:17,567 --> 00:25:19,444
SERENA: We've
got a decent
circumstantial case.
536
00:25:19,502 --> 00:25:21,982
And we think
the jury will understand
your client's popularity
537
00:25:22,038 --> 00:25:24,314
makes it difficult for
people to come forward.
538
00:25:27,243 --> 00:25:28,881
I got nothing to say.
539
00:25:29,879 --> 00:25:33,986
You can't spend your millions
when you're doing 25 years
in prison, Mr. Collins.
540
00:25:41,024 --> 00:25:43,561
You have 24 hours to
surrender on a murder charge.
541
00:25:48,298 --> 00:25:51,006
Come on. Come on.
542
00:25:55,338 --> 00:26:00,117
Docket ending 989,
People v. Daryl Collins,
Murder in the Second Degree.
543
00:26:00,176 --> 00:26:02,213
How's he plead,
Mr. Garber?
Not guilty.
544
00:26:02,278 --> 00:26:04,519
(AUDIENCE PROTESTING)
We don't need that.
545
00:26:05,648 --> 00:26:08,288
You asking for bail,
Ms. Southerlyn?
It's a murder,
Your Honor.
546
00:26:08,351 --> 00:26:10,388
GARBER: Where does
she think my client's
going to hide?
547
00:26:10,453 --> 00:26:13,400
I'm more concerned about
approaching this differently
because of his celebrity.
548
00:26:13,489 --> 00:26:15,298
We're concerned about
the same thing, Your Honor.
549
00:26:15,391 --> 00:26:17,371
All right,
you both made your points.
550
00:26:18,161 --> 00:26:20,198
Bail is set
at $1,000,000.
551
00:26:20,263 --> 00:26:22,038
He'll post that now.
552
00:26:22,098 --> 00:26:23,475
(JUDGE BANGS GAVEL)
553
00:26:24,967 --> 00:26:27,845
CROWD: (CHANTING)
Trane, Trane, Trane, Trane.
554
00:26:27,903 --> 00:26:29,849
(CROWD CHEERING)
555
00:26:36,445 --> 00:26:38,322
They're acting like
he just got acquitted.
556
00:26:38,380 --> 00:26:40,587
Everybody except Collins.
557
00:26:40,649 --> 00:26:42,560
Do they really believe
he's innocent?
558
00:26:43,218 --> 00:26:44,993
I don't think they care.
559
00:26:49,558 --> 00:26:51,401
There's nothing we can
do to shore up our case?
560
00:26:51,493 --> 00:26:53,029
It is what it is.
561
00:26:53,095 --> 00:26:54,506
What about Allie Lawrence?
562
00:26:54,563 --> 00:26:56,042
Under subpoena.
563
00:26:56,098 --> 00:26:58,578
I can't believe
she'll incriminate
her boyfriend.
564
00:26:58,633 --> 00:27:02,479
Her representatives are
pushing her to separate
herself from Collins.
565
00:27:02,571 --> 00:27:05,142
How far she'll be
willing to go is
an open question.
566
00:27:05,207 --> 00:27:09,019
The only alternative
is to dismiss for
lack of evidence.
567
00:27:09,077 --> 00:27:11,148
How would that sit
with Cabey's family?
568
00:27:12,180 --> 00:27:13,716
So, we take our shot.
569
00:27:14,649 --> 00:27:15,992
Um...
570
00:27:17,019 --> 00:27:19,727
What do you think
about Ron Carver
second-seating on this?
571
00:27:20,722 --> 00:27:22,224
'Cause he's black?
572
00:27:22,324 --> 00:27:25,066
Yes. Well,
and because he's
an excellent attorney.
573
00:27:26,328 --> 00:27:29,502
It's a mistake, Nora.
Serena knows the case.
574
00:27:30,365 --> 00:27:32,038
Carver has more
trial experience.
575
00:27:32,100 --> 00:27:33,545
Serena can bring
him up to speed.
576
00:27:33,602 --> 00:27:35,741
JACK: This is exactly what
we should not be doing.
577
00:27:35,804 --> 00:27:38,579
We all know race will
be a factor in this case.
578
00:27:38,639 --> 00:27:41,176
We should make this
case about the facts.
579
00:27:42,109 --> 00:27:45,147
Having Carver second-chair
undercuts that from the start.
580
00:27:45,880 --> 00:27:48,326
Well, ego aside,
I'm with Jack on that.
581
00:27:49,884 --> 00:27:51,022
All right.
582
00:27:51,886 --> 00:27:53,923
Don't let the
defense derail you.
583
00:27:58,292 --> 00:28:00,135
REESE: I was working
in the coat room.
584
00:28:00,227 --> 00:28:03,071
That's when I saw G-Trane...
I mean, Mr. Collins
585
00:28:03,130 --> 00:28:05,633
and Allie Lawrence
walking up the stairs.
586
00:28:05,700 --> 00:28:08,112
Was there anyone else
with them at the time?
587
00:28:08,202 --> 00:28:09,681
His bodyguard.
588
00:28:09,737 --> 00:28:11,216
What happened then,
Ms. Reese?
589
00:28:11,272 --> 00:28:14,048
Well, it was like people
coming out of the woodwork.
590
00:28:14,141 --> 00:28:17,088
Uh, Allie stopped
to talk to somebody,
591
00:28:17,144 --> 00:28:19,488
and the bodyguard
came over with Trane
to get her jacket.
592
00:28:19,547 --> 00:28:22,551
And as they walked away,
this man came up to them
593
00:28:22,616 --> 00:28:26,530
and got up in G...
Mr. Collins', um, face.
594
00:28:27,154 --> 00:28:32,228
I show you what has been
previously identified as
a photograph of Jerome Cabey.
595
00:28:32,393 --> 00:28:33,736
That's him.
596
00:28:34,095 --> 00:28:36,097
JACK: When did you
first notice him?
597
00:28:36,163 --> 00:28:38,973
REESE: He was waiting
for his coat when
Mr. Collins came over.
598
00:28:39,033 --> 00:28:40,910
But you helped
Mr. Collins first?
599
00:28:40,968 --> 00:28:42,914
Well, yes.
600
00:28:43,771 --> 00:28:45,250
What happened next?
601
00:28:46,540 --> 00:28:48,951
Uh, Trane and his
bodyguard walked away,
602
00:28:49,042 --> 00:28:52,080
and then Cabey went
after them and stopped
them from leaving.
603
00:28:52,145 --> 00:28:53,954
And how far away were you
604
00:28:54,013 --> 00:28:57,051
at the time Mr. Cabey
confronted Mr. Collins?
605
00:28:57,851 --> 00:29:01,924
(EXHALES) I'd say, like,
25 or 30 feet.
606
00:29:02,589 --> 00:29:04,466
JACK: Did you hear
what Mr. Cabey said?
607
00:29:04,524 --> 00:29:06,663
Well, I didn't hear all of it
because of the commotion,
608
00:29:06,726 --> 00:29:11,072
but he cursed at Mr. Collins
and called him a sellout,
609
00:29:11,131 --> 00:29:13,839
and then he threw
a bunch of money
in his face.
610
00:29:14,567 --> 00:29:15,944
JACK: What happened next?
611
00:29:16,703 --> 00:29:20,412
There was some more
back and forth, and then
the shooting started.
612
00:29:21,841 --> 00:29:23,912
Did you see the defendant
with a gun?
613
00:29:24,677 --> 00:29:25,951
I can't say I did.
614
00:29:26,846 --> 00:29:29,224
Just his bodyguard
holding something metal.
615
00:29:29,282 --> 00:29:31,785
JACK: Where was Mr. Collins
when the shots were fired?
616
00:29:31,851 --> 00:29:33,353
You know, right there.
617
00:29:34,020 --> 00:29:35,465
And his bodyguard?
618
00:29:35,522 --> 00:29:38,731
Standing next to Mr. Collins,
on his left.
619
00:29:42,495 --> 00:29:45,339
At the time of this incident,
Ms. Reese, the club was dark.
620
00:29:46,132 --> 00:29:48,874
Well, it was light
enough for people to
see each other.
621
00:29:49,235 --> 00:29:52,079
Only there was a crush
of people between you
and my client, wasn't there?
622
00:29:52,138 --> 00:29:53,981
I could still see
what was happening.
623
00:29:54,040 --> 00:29:56,077
GARBER: So if Mr. Collins
had pulled a gun on Mr. Cabey,
624
00:29:56,676 --> 00:29:58,382
you would have seen
that, wouldn't you?
625
00:29:58,644 --> 00:30:00,851
Well, maybe.
626
00:30:00,913 --> 00:30:04,986
And if he had fired it
in a darkened room,
you would have seen that.
627
00:30:05,050 --> 00:30:06,791
Like you said, there were
a lot of people there.
628
00:30:06,852 --> 00:30:09,230
Two days ago, Ms. Reese,
you were paid $20,000
629
00:30:09,288 --> 00:30:11,131
by a television
entertainment magazine
630
00:30:11,189 --> 00:30:13,032
for an interview,
were you not?
631
00:30:13,091 --> 00:30:14,092
Yes.
632
00:30:14,159 --> 00:30:17,038
And they wouldn't have been
interested in paying you
that kind of money
633
00:30:17,095 --> 00:30:19,701
if you weren't willing
to dish dirt on my client,
would they?
634
00:30:20,132 --> 00:30:22,635
JACK: Objection.
JUDGE: Sustained.
635
00:30:25,337 --> 00:30:26,475
Nothing further.
636
00:30:35,180 --> 00:30:39,219
When I ran the test,
there was no GAR on either
of Mr. Wilson's jacket cuffs.
637
00:30:39,284 --> 00:30:42,390
But I found GAR on
the right arm of his suit,
638
00:30:42,454 --> 00:30:44,400
between his shoulder
and elbow.
639
00:30:44,456 --> 00:30:47,300
And in your expert opinion,
where did the shots come from?
640
00:30:47,359 --> 00:30:50,101
Well, the shots were
fired by someone
on Mr. Wilson's right.
641
00:30:50,162 --> 00:30:54,110
Based on the amount of GAR,
the muzzle had to be one
or two feet from his jacket.
642
00:30:56,134 --> 00:30:58,808
Which means
the shooter was standing
behind Mr. Wilson,
643
00:30:58,870 --> 00:31:00,474
not to the side.
644
00:31:00,539 --> 00:31:02,576
TECH: That's
one interpretation.
645
00:31:02,641 --> 00:31:04,848
Mr. Wilson's arm could
have been extended,
646
00:31:04,910 --> 00:31:08,982
or the shooter stepped back
from Mr. Wilson before firing.
647
00:31:15,486 --> 00:31:18,296
We can put in the evidence
of the missing gun.
End on a high note.
648
00:31:18,356 --> 00:31:21,166
The jury'll wonder
why we didn't
call Allie Lawrence.
649
00:31:21,225 --> 00:31:23,762
I thought a lawyer's
first commandment was,
"Don't call a witness
650
00:31:23,828 --> 00:31:25,136
"if you're not sure
what she'll say."
651
00:31:25,196 --> 00:31:27,972
Except this one
isn't on the defense's
witness list.
652
00:31:28,032 --> 00:31:30,012
Oh, and if
she's not willing
to stand by her man,
653
00:31:30,067 --> 00:31:31,705
maybe the jury
won't either.
654
00:31:31,769 --> 00:31:33,578
Notify her
for tomorrow.
655
00:31:35,873 --> 00:31:39,320
JACK: How long have
you dated the defendant,
Ms. Lawrence?
656
00:31:39,377 --> 00:31:41,254
ALLIE: We're not seeing
each other anymore.
657
00:31:41,946 --> 00:31:43,254
Why not?
658
00:31:44,248 --> 00:31:47,821
Well, it's just I'm trying
to keep my head more
focused on my career.
659
00:31:48,853 --> 00:31:50,491
Do you still love him,
Ms. Lawrence?
660
00:31:51,889 --> 00:31:54,460
I'll always love him, yes.
661
00:31:55,693 --> 00:31:57,866
JACK: Move to have
Ms. Lawrence declared
a hostile witness.
662
00:31:57,929 --> 00:32:00,842
Her answers have been
totally responsive up to
this point, Your Honor.
663
00:32:00,898 --> 00:32:03,071
Hostility is
not a requirement,
664
00:32:03,134 --> 00:32:05,375
given the romantic nature
of the relationship.
665
00:32:05,436 --> 00:32:07,973
I see no harm
in giving Mr. McCoy
666
00:32:08,039 --> 00:32:10,519
a little latitude
with this witness.
667
00:32:11,242 --> 00:32:12,846
Would it be fair
to say that your agents
668
00:32:12,910 --> 00:32:15,322
don't want you dating
Mr. Collins because
of his image?
669
00:32:15,379 --> 00:32:18,326
Objection. Now it's
character assassination.
670
00:32:18,382 --> 00:32:21,225
JUDGE: (SIGHS)
The question is stricken.
Move on, Mr. McCoy.
671
00:32:24,054 --> 00:32:26,056
Were you with Mr. Collins
672
00:32:26,122 --> 00:32:28,602
at Mega-Fly on
the night of April 14?
673
00:32:28,692 --> 00:32:30,171
Yes, I was.
674
00:32:30,226 --> 00:32:32,502
And was the defendant
carrying a gun that night?
675
00:32:33,530 --> 00:32:34,804
I don't know.
676
00:32:35,498 --> 00:32:38,308
Well, does he
usually carry a gun?
677
00:32:39,969 --> 00:32:44,281
Well, I can't say
I've never seen Daryl
with a gun before.
678
00:32:44,340 --> 00:32:47,981
He carries a 9mm Glock
semi-automatic,
679
00:32:48,078 --> 00:32:50,524
the same as
the murder weapon,
doesn't he?
680
00:32:50,580 --> 00:32:53,823
Look, it's not like
he's some kind
of criminal, okay?
681
00:32:53,950 --> 00:32:55,759
There are a lot
of crazies out there.
682
00:32:55,885 --> 00:32:58,832
So he would protect
himself if provoked?
683
00:32:58,888 --> 00:33:00,424
GARBER: Objection.
684
00:33:00,490 --> 00:33:01,833
Sustained.
685
00:33:02,826 --> 00:33:06,774
Do you remember a man
provoking him in the club?
686
00:33:07,497 --> 00:33:09,477
No, I only saw some
of what happened.
687
00:33:09,566 --> 00:33:11,239
I came down
from the VIP room.
688
00:33:11,301 --> 00:33:12,905
Daryl was getting my jacket.
689
00:33:12,969 --> 00:33:16,917
A witness testified that
you were present at
the time of the incident.
690
00:33:17,607 --> 00:33:20,520
Yes. I was behind
Daryl and James,
691
00:33:20,577 --> 00:33:22,921
but there were a bunch
of people between us.
692
00:33:23,179 --> 00:33:24,886
JACK: And what did you see?
693
00:33:24,948 --> 00:33:28,418
I just heard the gunshots
and ran out to the car.
694
00:33:29,052 --> 00:33:31,657
Did Mr. Collins say
anything about a shooting?
695
00:33:32,121 --> 00:33:34,294
He just said that
we should get
away from there,
696
00:33:34,356 --> 00:33:36,597
but nothing about him
shooting anyone.
697
00:33:36,658 --> 00:33:38,035
JACK: And where
did you go?
698
00:33:38,494 --> 00:33:41,100
We drove straight
out to his house
in the Berkshires.
699
00:33:41,897 --> 00:33:43,376
A hundred miles
outside the city?
700
00:33:43,432 --> 00:33:46,003
GARBER: Objection.
Asked and answered.
701
00:33:46,068 --> 00:33:47,411
JUDGE: Sustained.
702
00:33:56,745 --> 00:33:58,383
Have no further questions
of this witness.
703
00:33:59,481 --> 00:34:00,892
JUDGE: The witness
may step down.
704
00:34:03,585 --> 00:34:04,859
The People rest.
705
00:34:10,292 --> 00:34:12,636
Allie and I got to
the club around 12:30.
706
00:34:13,395 --> 00:34:15,033
We met some friends upstairs,
707
00:34:15,764 --> 00:34:18,244
listened to the DJ,
danced a little,
708
00:34:18,967 --> 00:34:20,469
had a few drinks.
709
00:34:20,536 --> 00:34:22,106
How many drinks
did you have?
710
00:34:22,171 --> 00:34:23,809
Two glasses
of champagne.
711
00:34:23,872 --> 00:34:25,112
Were you drunk?
712
00:34:25,174 --> 00:34:26,278
Not in the least.
713
00:34:26,341 --> 00:34:29,447
Were you carrying a gun
that night, Mr. Collins?
714
00:34:29,511 --> 00:34:31,752
No, I wasn't.
715
00:34:31,813 --> 00:34:36,592
Where is the 9mm handgun
you purchased in Los Angeles
two years ago?
716
00:34:36,652 --> 00:34:38,723
It was stolen from
a hotel room in Detroit
717
00:34:38,787 --> 00:34:40,663
when I did a show
there last year.
718
00:34:41,155 --> 00:34:42,930
I didn't report it because
719
00:34:42,990 --> 00:34:45,630
I knew I wasn't
supposed to take it
out of California.
720
00:34:45,860 --> 00:34:49,069
Please, tell the jury
what happened at
the club that night.
721
00:34:49,363 --> 00:34:52,742
James and me came down
from the VIP room
to get Allie's jacket.
722
00:34:53,468 --> 00:34:56,642
She was behind us,
talking to somebody,
I think.
723
00:34:58,873 --> 00:35:03,618
As we walked away
from the coat room,
this man approached us.
724
00:35:04,379 --> 00:35:06,586
GARBER: Jerome Cabey,
the deceased?
725
00:35:06,647 --> 00:35:09,184
Yeah. He stepped
in front of us.
726
00:35:09,951 --> 00:35:11,453
And what did he say?
727
00:35:11,919 --> 00:35:13,796
First, he was angry
about his coat.
728
00:35:14,522 --> 00:35:17,025
Then he told me
he ain't really care
for my music.
729
00:35:17,892 --> 00:35:19,371
Not those words.
730
00:35:20,728 --> 00:35:22,366
It was like a diatribe.
731
00:35:24,565 --> 00:35:25,771
Then what happened?
732
00:35:25,833 --> 00:35:28,939
I have to admit,
I came back at him.
733
00:35:29,737 --> 00:35:31,648
Asked him when his
latest CD went platinum.
734
00:35:31,706 --> 00:35:33,879
You know, sarcastically.
735
00:35:35,877 --> 00:35:37,879
In hindsight,
that was a mistake.
736
00:35:38,779 --> 00:35:40,087
Why is that?
737
00:35:40,748 --> 00:35:44,560
He reached into his pocket,
pulled out some money,
and threw it in my face.
738
00:35:46,821 --> 00:35:48,858
And then what did you
do at that time?
739
00:35:50,891 --> 00:35:52,131
Nothing.
740
00:35:53,760 --> 00:35:55,398
Then I saw James
pull out his gun,
741
00:35:55,462 --> 00:35:57,965
so I grabbed him
and said, "Let's go."
742
00:35:58,965 --> 00:36:01,605
We turned around
and started to walk away,
743
00:36:03,370 --> 00:36:06,681
and this guy Cabey's
still talking trash.
744
00:36:07,674 --> 00:36:10,280
Yelling "sellout"
and whatnot.
745
00:36:13,213 --> 00:36:15,819
A few seconds later,
I heard the shots.
746
00:36:15,882 --> 00:36:17,156
GARBER: From where?
747
00:36:17,217 --> 00:36:19,197
From behind us,
where we left Cabey.
748
00:36:20,587 --> 00:36:21,861
Then what
did you do?
749
00:36:23,390 --> 00:36:25,392
I thought the dude
was shooting at me.
750
00:36:26,259 --> 00:36:28,637
So, the three of us
just ran out of there.
751
00:36:28,762 --> 00:36:30,673
We got into the car
and drove away.
752
00:36:32,365 --> 00:36:34,242
Thank you. Nothing further.
753
00:36:42,042 --> 00:36:45,888
Collins and Allie Lawrence
both put themselves apart
at the time of the shooting.
754
00:36:46,513 --> 00:36:48,459
So neither can
contradict the other.
755
00:36:49,449 --> 00:36:51,827
But Collins testified
that they left together.
756
00:36:52,385 --> 00:36:54,922
How did they manage
to find each other
in all that chaos?
757
00:36:55,055 --> 00:36:56,500
What are you saying?
758
00:36:57,390 --> 00:36:58,801
If they're walking out,
759
00:36:59,626 --> 00:37:03,437
the bodyguard's back
was to Amanda Reese
during the argument.
760
00:37:04,797 --> 00:37:06,572
How'd she see a gun?
761
00:37:07,700 --> 00:37:10,180
Well, he must have turned
back towards the coat room.
762
00:37:10,236 --> 00:37:12,045
But why would
he go back
763
00:37:12,104 --> 00:37:15,210
if Collins was pulling
him away from Cabey
and toward the door?
764
00:37:16,976 --> 00:37:18,546
He didn't shoot Cabey.
765
00:37:18,611 --> 00:37:21,785
But he was standing
there next to who...
766
00:37:22,715 --> 00:37:24,194
Whoever did.
767
00:37:27,052 --> 00:37:28,588
Think about it.
768
00:37:33,492 --> 00:37:38,032
I was trying to figure out
why an intelligent, talented
man with everything to lose
769
00:37:38,097 --> 00:37:40,771
would walk into
a crowded nightclub
with a loaded gun.
770
00:37:40,833 --> 00:37:42,369
Save your summation
for the courtroom.
771
00:37:42,434 --> 00:37:45,108
You gave her the gun
at some point,
didn't you, Mr. Collins?
772
00:37:45,171 --> 00:37:47,447
GARBER: That's ridiculous.
My ex used to give me
his cell phone
773
00:37:47,506 --> 00:37:49,349
to put in my purse
all the time.
774
00:37:51,310 --> 00:37:53,347
GARBER: Where are you
going with this?
775
00:37:54,346 --> 00:37:57,691
In all that confusion,
you still managed to
leave the club together.
776
00:37:59,585 --> 00:38:00,893
So what?
777
00:38:00,953 --> 00:38:03,160
JACK: I'm impressed
by your chivalry.
778
00:38:06,091 --> 00:38:07,297
Even though
it defies logic,
779
00:38:07,359 --> 00:38:10,067
you're doing everything
you can to keep her
out of this.
780
00:38:12,363 --> 00:38:14,206
You think he's
covering for Allie?
781
00:38:15,700 --> 00:38:17,145
Aren't you,
Mr. Collins?
782
00:38:21,539 --> 00:38:24,816
Are you willing
to go back into court
and face 25-to-life?
783
00:38:28,980 --> 00:38:30,050
That's right.
784
00:38:33,451 --> 00:38:34,486
(SIGHS)
785
00:38:37,789 --> 00:38:41,032
If he's right, Daryl,
you'd be crazy
not to tell him.
786
00:38:46,230 --> 00:38:49,734
It's one thing to play
a thug on the cover
of a CD, Mr. Collins.
787
00:38:49,801 --> 00:38:52,042
It's quite another
to do it in Sing Sing.
788
00:38:52,103 --> 00:38:55,448
Yeah, well, they tell me
I have to be hard
to sell records.
789
00:38:58,476 --> 00:39:00,478
If I hadn't listened
to that, maybe...
790
00:39:02,847 --> 00:39:04,758
Maybe none of this
would've happened.
791
00:39:06,150 --> 00:39:09,723
I don't want to sacrifice
an innocent man
to perpetuate a myth.
792
00:39:14,425 --> 00:39:15,733
(EXHALES)
793
00:39:19,063 --> 00:39:20,406
Let's go.
794
00:39:22,332 --> 00:39:23,675
I'm ready for court.
795
00:39:29,806 --> 00:39:31,513
We're going to
get a continuance.
796
00:39:32,476 --> 00:39:34,080
I have one other
stop to make.
797
00:39:41,585 --> 00:39:43,690
FOSTER: This is
highly irregular,
Mr. McCoy.
798
00:39:43,754 --> 00:39:45,529
My client's
already testified.
799
00:39:45,589 --> 00:39:47,591
I might need to
call her in rebuttal.
800
00:39:48,291 --> 00:39:50,794
What's she going to rebut?
She didn't see anything.
801
00:39:51,394 --> 00:39:54,102
You said you still
love Mr. Collins.
802
00:39:54,164 --> 00:39:56,405
Do you realize what's
going to happen now?
803
00:39:57,968 --> 00:40:00,676
I've been doing
this for a long time,
Ms. Lawrence.
804
00:40:00,737 --> 00:40:03,650
I'm about to go into court
and take him apart.
805
00:40:05,042 --> 00:40:08,319
Maybe he'll get lucky
and the jury will
believe his story.
806
00:40:08,378 --> 00:40:10,756
Daryl says he's going
to beat the case.
807
00:40:10,814 --> 00:40:12,521
He'll spend
the next 25 years
808
00:40:12,582 --> 00:40:15,620
in a six-by-nine cell
before he's eligible
for parole.
809
00:40:15,685 --> 00:40:17,164
What do you want from her?
810
00:40:18,989 --> 00:40:20,195
I want the truth.
811
00:40:21,491 --> 00:40:24,529
FOSTER: She's come this far.
She's not going to
incriminate him now.
812
00:40:24,795 --> 00:40:26,934
Then, it's about time
she exonerated him.
813
00:40:27,697 --> 00:40:29,108
What're you talking about?
814
00:40:29,166 --> 00:40:30,839
Why don't you
ask your client?
815
00:40:33,736 --> 00:40:34,908
Allie?
816
00:40:45,081 --> 00:40:47,652
I saw Mr. Collins
this morning.
817
00:40:47,716 --> 00:40:49,627
He was this close
to giving you up.
818
00:40:50,219 --> 00:40:51,596
But he held his ground.
819
00:40:53,022 --> 00:40:56,196
He's going to risk
the rest of his life
in prison, and for what?
820
00:40:57,026 --> 00:41:00,200
Because some
marketing consultant
has him believing
821
00:41:00,262 --> 00:41:02,606
that a real man
takes the weight
for the woman?
822
00:41:02,665 --> 00:41:03,973
This conversation's over.
823
00:41:06,502 --> 00:41:08,880
Anything she wants
to say in this room
is off the record.
824
00:41:08,938 --> 00:41:11,578
I'm still advising you
not to continue.
825
00:41:20,382 --> 00:41:22,885
I don't think
I can let Daryl
go through with it.
826
00:41:24,286 --> 00:41:25,856
Then, it's time
we put an end to this.
827
00:41:25,921 --> 00:41:27,332
If there was provocation,
Ms. Lawrence,
828
00:41:27,389 --> 00:41:29,460
it could mitigate
your responsibility.
829
00:41:33,462 --> 00:41:34,839
There was.
830
00:41:36,165 --> 00:41:38,111
What did this man, Cabey,
say to you?
831
00:41:42,670 --> 00:41:46,049
He threw some money
at Daryl,
832
00:41:46,107 --> 00:41:48,553
and Daryl started
to go at him.
833
00:41:48,610 --> 00:41:51,113
And I said,
"It's not worth it, baby,
let's just go."
834
00:41:51,179 --> 00:41:52,715
Allie.
835
00:42:01,689 --> 00:42:03,134
He touched me.
836
00:42:04,459 --> 00:42:07,030
(CRYING) When I turned
to leave,
837
00:42:07,095 --> 00:42:11,271
he slid his hand
between my legs
and he touched me.
838
00:42:12,333 --> 00:42:14,609
And I looked
back at him like...
839
00:42:16,070 --> 00:42:18,949
(STAMMERS)
I don't know, I just...
I couldn't believe it.
840
00:42:19,574 --> 00:42:22,111
And he said,
"What are you
looking at, bitch?
841
00:42:22,277 --> 00:42:24,257
"You think you're
better than me?"
842
00:42:24,946 --> 00:42:29,292
And I said, "Nobody touches
me like that. Nobody!"
843
00:42:30,184 --> 00:42:33,757
And he said he'd touch me
any way he liked
844
00:42:33,821 --> 00:42:36,301
'cause I'm just another
ho from the 'hood.
845
00:42:37,091 --> 00:42:39,002
Why not just
walk away, then?
846
00:42:39,093 --> 00:42:44,668
Because I have walked away
from guys like that
my whole damn life!
847
00:42:44,866 --> 00:42:48,473
And this time,
I had Daryl's gun
in my purse.
848
00:42:55,842 --> 00:42:57,685
Where's the gun now,
Ms. Lawrence?
849
00:43:04,718 --> 00:43:06,925
Daryl threw it
off a bridge.
850
00:43:10,924 --> 00:43:12,767
What now,
Mr. McCoy?
851
00:43:15,829 --> 00:43:18,400
That's an explanation,
not a defense, counselor.
852
00:43:21,435 --> 00:43:23,472
Wait, I'm going to jail?
853
00:43:25,539 --> 00:43:28,850
Without your statement,
they don't have
much of a case.
854
00:43:36,650 --> 00:43:39,096
Have we set a Grand Jury
date for Ms. Lawrence?
855
00:43:39,152 --> 00:43:40,358
JACK: And call what witnesses?
856
00:43:40,420 --> 00:43:42,058
The only ones
we can find are two men
857
00:43:42,155 --> 00:43:44,328
who'd rather go to jail
than tell the truth.
858
00:43:44,424 --> 00:43:46,233
LEWIN: So, we indict Collins
for perjury.
859
00:43:46,293 --> 00:43:48,136
We can't prove he lied.
860
00:43:48,195 --> 00:43:50,766
Lawrence and
Collins both walk?
861
00:43:50,831 --> 00:43:52,276
We got dissed.
862
00:43:53,066 --> 00:43:56,479
Apparently, two careers
are worth more
than a person's life.
863
00:43:56,536 --> 00:43:59,813
In a weird way,
the dismissal hurt Collins
more than the indictment.
864
00:43:59,873 --> 00:44:01,375
When his fans found out
he wasn't the killer,
865
00:44:01,441 --> 00:44:03,681
his CD dropped 10 places
on the charts.
866
00:44:05,444 --> 00:44:08,653
At this rate,
he might have to go out
and actually shoot somebody.
