1
00:00:03,165 --> 00:00:04,996
In the criminal
justice system,
2
00:00:04,996 --> 00:00:08,901
the people are represented by two
separate yet equally important groups:
3
00:00:08,901 --> 00:00:10,869
The police
who investigate crime
4
00:00:10,869 --> 00:00:13,773
and the district attorneys
who prosecute the offenders.
5
00:00:13,773 --> 00:00:15,605
These are their stories.
6
00:00:23,051 --> 00:00:25,076
Hey, you're scaring
my dinner away!
7
00:00:25,076 --> 00:00:26,882
Go play somewhere else!
8
00:00:45,739 --> 00:00:47,730
What do you think
he was fishing for?
9
00:00:47,730 --> 00:00:48,832
In the Hudson?
10
00:00:48,832 --> 00:00:51,810
I don't want to breathe near
it, let alone eat from it.
11
00:00:51,810 --> 00:00:53,813
Well, what have we got?
12
00:00:53,813 --> 00:00:55,473
A floater. Female.
13
00:00:56,183 --> 00:00:57,878
Weighted with concrete blocks.
14
00:00:57,878 --> 00:01:00,419
Must have been more,
they fell off.
15
00:01:00,419 --> 00:01:02,580
Handcuffed behind her back.
16
00:01:11,264 --> 00:01:13,858
You thinkir a cop?
Forget it.
17
00:01:13,858 --> 00:01:16,060
Cuffs are Grenadiers,
not our brand.
18
00:01:17,003 --> 00:01:18,664
Been in the water
maybe eight weeks.
19
00:01:18,664 --> 00:01:20,000
Hispanic, Italian.
20
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:21,699
Lamp cord around her neck.
21
00:01:21,699 --> 00:01:23,867
Probably strangled,
then dumped.
22
00:01:23,867 --> 00:01:25,967
Steinmetz, you've seen
your share of floaters.
23
00:01:25,967 --> 00:01:27,342
How old do you think she is?
24
00:01:27,342 --> 00:01:29,938
Post-mortem decomposition,
tough call.
25
00:01:29,938 --> 00:01:33,042
My guess?
She never saw sweet 16.
26
00:01:42,127 --> 00:01:43,185
I don't need this.
27
00:01:43,185 --> 00:01:45,388
That kid's the same age
as Linda.
28
00:01:45,730 --> 00:01:47,595
You know Lopez
in the one-nine?
29
00:01:47,595 --> 00:01:48,598
No.
30
00:01:48,598 --> 00:01:50,032
He's a good cop.
31
00:01:50,368 --> 00:01:51,926
He had a case.
32
00:01:51,926 --> 00:01:55,530
Male Hispanic teenager.
Floater, East River.
33
00:01:55,530 --> 00:01:58,303
Strangled, electric cord,
handcuffed.
34
00:02:00,277 --> 00:02:01,972
He said
all he could think about
35
00:02:01,972 --> 00:02:03,738
was the kid was so small
36
00:02:03,738 --> 00:02:05,873
he didn't fill
half the body bag.
37
00:02:06,383 --> 00:02:07,475
Concrete blocks?
38
00:02:07,475 --> 00:02:09,109
Fire bricks.
39
00:02:09,109 --> 00:02:10,915
They never got an ID.
40
00:02:13,290 --> 00:02:14,757
This ain't a pro.
41
00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:19,652
Our friends in silk suits weight
them so they never come up.
42
00:02:20,531 --> 00:02:22,226
Which leads us where?
43
00:03:46,046 --> 00:03:47,877
Oh, boy! Oh, boy!
44
00:03:47,877 --> 00:03:50,576
A kid that age,
doesn't she have parents?
45
00:03:50,576 --> 00:03:53,881
Cousins? I mean, somebody who's
gonna notice that she's missing?
46
00:03:53,881 --> 00:03:56,047
The ME says
she's probably Hispanic.
47
00:03:56,047 --> 00:03:57,851
Eleven girls
were reported missing.
48
00:03:57,851 --> 00:03:59,255
Seven have already turned up.
49
00:03:59,255 --> 00:04:02,159
The other four don't match in
terms of hair or color of eyes.
50
00:04:02,159 --> 00:04:03,217
So, what do you think?
51
00:04:03,217 --> 00:04:05,287
I mean, I know what we do
with our handcuffs,
52
00:04:05,287 --> 00:04:07,333
but obviously,
some people have other uses.
53
00:04:07,333 --> 00:04:10,095
Well, it's hard to tell if she
was raped. I talked to Sex Crimes.
54
00:04:10,095 --> 00:04:11,796
They have ropes, dog leashes,
55
00:04:11,796 --> 00:04:14,065
but no homicides
with handcuffs.
56
00:04:14,065 --> 00:04:17,267
Yeah, I appreciate that. I'll
call if we need more. Thank you.
57
00:04:17,676 --> 00:04:19,701
Grenadier ships
40,000 cuffs a year.
58
00:04:20,245 --> 00:04:22,110
Big market
with the fringe crowd.
59
00:04:22,110 --> 00:04:23,944
Survival catalogues,
adventure stores,
60
00:04:23,944 --> 00:04:25,881
you know, Ollie North country.
61
00:04:25,881 --> 00:04:30,183
Direct sales to cops in
California, Montana, and Missouri.
62
00:04:30,183 --> 00:04:33,088
Why don't I think
this was a cop from Missoula?
63
00:04:33,088 --> 00:04:34,784
Wouldrt find him if it was.
64
00:04:34,784 --> 00:04:37,919
The lot number on the
ones we got, 9,000 pair.
65
00:04:39,330 --> 00:04:42,094
We got a serial perv.
And from what the FBI says,
66
00:04:42,094 --> 00:04:43,531
they don't leave breadcrumbs.
67
00:04:43,531 --> 00:04:44,863
Forensics.
68
00:04:45,169 --> 00:04:47,364
Uh, they got a, you know, uh...
69
00:04:48,006 --> 00:04:50,133
She studies bodies and faces.
70
00:04:50,508 --> 00:04:51,975
An anthropologist.
71
00:04:51,975 --> 00:04:52,975
So?
72
00:04:52,975 --> 00:04:56,036
So wouldn't it be nice
to have an ID on the girl?
73
00:04:56,036 --> 00:04:59,641
Last month, they identified
a body from a picture.
74
00:04:59,641 --> 00:05:01,343
Matched up a face and a skull.
75
00:05:01,343 --> 00:05:02,578
What if they reverse that?
76
00:05:02,578 --> 00:05:04,985
Start with the skull
and work out. Make us a face.
77
00:05:04,985 --> 00:05:06,317
Oh, I think I saw that movie.
78
00:05:06,317 --> 00:05:07,550
Well, see it again.
79
00:05:07,550 --> 00:05:10,491
The march of technology,
Phil. Sometimes it works.
80
00:05:10,491 --> 00:05:13,290
And the boy from the other
case, where's he buried?
81
00:05:13,290 --> 00:05:14,853
Potter's field.
82
00:05:14,853 --> 00:05:16,899
Get an order, have him exhumed.
83
00:05:16,899 --> 00:05:19,128
Maybe we can get
a face on him, too.
84
00:05:22,539 --> 00:05:23,597
Is it possible?
85
00:05:23,597 --> 00:05:25,505
Who said the accidents
of the possible
86
00:05:25,505 --> 00:05:27,667
were the future of the
probable? Was it Einstein?
87
00:05:27,667 --> 00:05:29,973
I don't think
we're the ones to ask.
88
00:05:29,973 --> 00:05:31,411
This is the boy
you had exhumed.
89
00:05:31,411 --> 00:05:33,744
I took all the aspects
of the facial structure.
90
00:05:33,744 --> 00:05:35,078
Based on my measurements,
91
00:05:35,078 --> 00:05:37,881
my sketch artist
has worked up a face.
92
00:05:38,254 --> 00:05:39,721
Now I'm refining it.
93
00:05:43,125 --> 00:05:45,593
How close is that going to be
to what he looked like?
94
00:05:45,593 --> 00:05:48,528
You'll know
when somebody identifies him.
95
00:05:48,931 --> 00:05:50,193
I'm working on the girl.
96
00:05:53,401 --> 00:05:54,732
Dr. Sacks.
97
00:05:56,738 --> 00:05:58,865
It's for you.
Missing Persons.
98
00:05:59,274 --> 00:06:02,710
You asked for
floaters 14 to 17, strangled.
99
00:06:02,710 --> 00:06:04,369
Don't tell me
you found another one.
100
00:06:04,369 --> 00:06:05,572
Almost.
101
00:06:08,917 --> 00:06:12,375
Male, 49, Caucasian,
found belly down
102
00:06:12,375 --> 00:06:14,888
in the Hudson
off the Spuyten Duyvil.
103
00:06:14,888 --> 00:06:17,390
Uh, strangled
with his own necktie.
104
00:06:18,592 --> 00:06:20,150
Ira Bender.
Missing six weeks,
105
00:06:20,150 --> 00:06:22,627
inspector for the
Apparel Industry Task Force.
106
00:06:22,627 --> 00:06:24,527
Investigated sweatshops.
107
00:06:24,527 --> 00:06:25,895
He surfaced last month.
108
00:06:25,895 --> 00:06:27,729
We get water.
We get strangled.
109
00:06:27,729 --> 00:06:29,268
But not often,
and never together.
110
00:06:29,268 --> 00:06:30,735
Who's the lead detective?
111
00:06:30,735 --> 00:06:32,032
Markson, two-seven.
112
00:06:32,032 --> 00:06:33,733
Yeah, I called.
He's expecting you.
113
00:06:33,733 --> 00:06:34,739
Hmm.
114
00:06:34,739 --> 00:06:35,968
Thank you.
115
00:06:37,611 --> 00:06:39,943
Bender? Oh, yeah.
We're talking Mack Truck.
116
00:06:39,943 --> 00:06:41,878
This guy made me look
like an anorexic.
117
00:06:41,878 --> 00:06:43,940
First I thought he was
just bloated from the river.
118
00:06:43,940 --> 00:06:45,916
Hey, look, it's a
dead-end case. Forget it.
119
00:06:45,916 --> 00:06:47,577
He was investigating
sweatshops.
120
00:06:47,577 --> 00:06:49,348
Maybe he tried
to close somebody down?
121
00:06:49,348 --> 00:06:51,549
What, an inspector?
He couldn't close a closet.
122
00:06:51,549 --> 00:06:53,489
You can give a summons.
123
00:06:54,327 --> 00:06:57,057
The garment business,
you know, it's still 1930.
124
00:06:57,057 --> 00:06:58,654
You got 5,000 sweatshops,
125
00:06:58,654 --> 00:07:01,199
you got 50,000 immigrants
at sewing machines.
126
00:07:01,199 --> 00:07:04,464
Most of these places, they got
eight, nine people, lots of them kids.
127
00:07:04,464 --> 00:07:06,630
They get paid crap
if they get paid at all,
128
00:07:06,630 --> 00:07:08,139
and nobody complains,
129
00:07:08,139 --> 00:07:10,106
because they're
all illegal anyway.
130
00:07:10,106 --> 00:07:11,267
And the Feds,
131
00:07:11,267 --> 00:07:13,538
they don't even inspect
with less than 10 workers.
132
00:07:13,538 --> 00:07:14,601
But the city does.
133
00:07:14,601 --> 00:07:16,078
Yeah, so give them a summons.
134
00:07:16,078 --> 00:07:18,378
Child labor,
locked windows, you know.
135
00:07:18,378 --> 00:07:20,441
They tear it up,
they move to a new hellhole.
136
00:07:20,441 --> 00:07:22,248
It's like a floating crap game.
137
00:07:22,248 --> 00:07:23,787
What about Ira Bender?
138
00:07:23,787 --> 00:07:26,551
The day he disappeared,
six stops.
139
00:07:26,551 --> 00:07:28,991
He shows up at all six,
not one summons
140
00:07:28,991 --> 00:07:30,652
and even if he gave one,
141
00:07:30,652 --> 00:07:32,924
who'd kill him for a $600 fine?
142
00:07:32,924 --> 00:07:34,192
Thanks.
143
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:36,591
Two Hispanic teenagers.
144
00:07:36,591 --> 00:07:38,498
You got better candidates
for a sweatshop?
145
00:07:38,498 --> 00:07:40,628
I'll grant you, but the
inspector makes no sense.
146
00:07:40,628 --> 00:07:42,569
If anybody really cared
about people working
147
00:07:42,569 --> 00:07:44,301
for slave wages,
it would've stopped.
148
00:07:44,301 --> 00:07:46,809
They got half the city scared
about parking tickets.
149
00:07:46,809 --> 00:07:49,345
You read the ME's report
on the girl?
150
00:07:49,647 --> 00:07:52,639
Scars, cuts on her fingers.
151
00:07:52,639 --> 00:07:54,274
Same as the boy
when they found him.
152
00:07:54,274 --> 00:07:56,114
They didn't get that
making fruit salad.
153
00:07:56,114 --> 00:07:57,347
They were cutting fabric.
154
00:07:57,347 --> 00:08:00,652
All right, let's see what
Forensics has on the girl's face.
155
00:08:04,694 --> 00:08:07,629
Move the left eye
in about 2 cm.
156
00:08:10,667 --> 00:08:11,929
Good. Print it.
157
00:08:18,508 --> 00:08:21,204
I think the girl's
more accurate than the boy.
158
00:08:21,204 --> 00:08:24,269
With the picture of her face,
we had more to work with.
159
00:08:24,269 --> 00:08:25,746
Here they are.
160
00:08:27,883 --> 00:08:30,044
So, what do you think?
Puerto Rican, Dominican?
161
00:08:30,044 --> 00:08:32,313
From the nose
and the cheekbones,
162
00:08:32,988 --> 00:08:36,219
I'd say more likely
Mezzo-American. Mexican.
163
00:08:36,219 --> 00:08:37,347
Ira Bender.
164
00:08:37,347 --> 00:08:39,485
Remember his last stop
the day he disappeared?
165
00:08:39,485 --> 00:08:41,791
The Bronx.
Tremont in the Bronx.
166
00:08:41,791 --> 00:08:43,297
Our newest immigrant paradise.
167
00:08:43,297 --> 00:08:44,593
Mexicans.
168
00:08:45,167 --> 00:08:48,193
They could be anybody,
these kids.
169
00:08:49,438 --> 00:08:51,998
You sure they don't resemble
somebody you've seen?
170
00:08:53,541 --> 00:08:55,202
Where's the nearest
high school?
171
00:08:55,202 --> 00:08:56,573
What country you in, man?
172
00:08:56,573 --> 00:08:58,339
Nobody go to school.
173
00:08:59,447 --> 00:09:01,210
Where do the kids hang out?
174
00:09:01,210 --> 00:09:03,477
The club.
El Tampequeño.
175
00:09:04,051 --> 00:09:06,485
Ask for Rudy. He
teaches them how to play.
176
00:09:08,789 --> 00:09:11,121
I said, do you recognize them?
177
00:09:11,659 --> 00:09:12,683
I don't see too good.
178
00:09:12,683 --> 00:09:13,749
Oh, you blind?
179
00:09:13,749 --> 00:09:15,728
I'll smack that hairdo
right off your head!
180
00:09:15,728 --> 00:09:17,730
Mike! Mike!
181
00:09:18,599 --> 00:09:20,566
Amigos, what's the problem?
182
00:09:21,568 --> 00:09:23,229
What can we do for you?
183
00:09:23,770 --> 00:09:25,431
Rudy Armandariz.
It's my place.
184
00:09:25,431 --> 00:09:27,769
Hey, you said Rudy left.
He wasrt coming back.
185
00:09:27,769 --> 00:09:30,901
Hector, tough guy, huh?
Be nice, huh?
186
00:09:31,912 --> 00:09:34,745
We don't see cops too much,
you know. Just Immigration.
187
00:09:34,745 --> 00:09:38,341
Hey, we gonna make friends, I'm
sorry, you don't make top of the list.
188
00:09:38,341 --> 00:09:40,682
How do you know
we're not Immigration?
189
00:09:40,682 --> 00:09:42,381
With those shoes?
190
00:09:42,381 --> 00:09:45,252
La miga, they get paid
a little better, I think.
191
00:09:49,695 --> 00:09:50,957
Beers for our friends.
192
00:09:50,957 --> 00:09:53,692
No, no, no, no, thanks.
Have you seen these kids?
193
00:09:56,835 --> 00:09:57,927
Ah, kids!
194
00:09:58,404 --> 00:10:00,599
They think New York is gold
in the streets.
195
00:10:00,599 --> 00:10:03,233
They come here to make money,
send it home.
196
00:10:03,233 --> 00:10:05,140
Better they stay in Mexico.
197
00:10:05,140 --> 00:10:07,371
Prostitution, drugs,
then they disappear.
198
00:10:07,371 --> 00:10:09,380
Does that mean yes or no?
199
00:10:09,982 --> 00:10:11,710
We don't know those kids.
200
00:10:14,319 --> 00:10:16,617
You could've
broken that kid's arm.
201
00:10:16,617 --> 00:10:18,883
He threatened me
with that pool cue.
202
00:10:22,026 --> 00:10:24,358
This case is
pushing my buttons.
203
00:10:24,896 --> 00:10:26,386
The next button it could push
204
00:10:26,386 --> 00:10:28,489
is the one
at the Civilian Review Board.
205
00:10:38,208 --> 00:10:40,335
You see 'em?
You recognize 'em?
206
00:10:43,747 --> 00:10:45,715
He speak English.
207
00:10:57,928 --> 00:10:59,520
What? What? Come on.
208
00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:02,723
I know Eduardo and María,
his cousin.
209
00:11:03,065 --> 00:11:05,260
You know, on the street.
210
00:11:05,935 --> 00:11:07,266
I haven't seen them.
211
00:11:07,266 --> 00:11:08,667
They have family?
212
00:11:11,207 --> 00:11:12,435
In Acuña.
213
00:11:12,908 --> 00:11:14,432
They worked making dresses
214
00:11:14,432 --> 00:11:16,774
so they could bring their
brothers and sisters here.
215
00:11:16,774 --> 00:11:19,041
Where did they
make the dresses?
216
00:11:26,422 --> 00:11:28,719
Okay? I'm finished now?
217
00:11:29,357 --> 00:11:31,689
Yeah. Gracias, okay.
218
00:11:33,161 --> 00:11:35,152
Well, this is progress, huh?
219
00:11:38,967 --> 00:11:40,525
Those kids worked here.
220
00:11:40,525 --> 00:11:42,695
Ira Bender was
investigating a sweatshop
221
00:11:42,695 --> 00:11:44,705
in this building
before he disappeared.
222
00:11:44,705 --> 00:11:46,570
You want to think
about a warrant?
223
00:11:49,744 --> 00:11:51,371
You need a warrant for this?
224
00:11:51,371 --> 00:11:54,313
Well, I guess
we're not really breaking in.
225
00:12:57,442 --> 00:12:58,602
Phil!
226
00:13:18,229 --> 00:13:19,821
So, what are you saying to me?
227
00:13:19,821 --> 00:13:22,024
They had people here
who were slaves?
228
00:13:22,024 --> 00:13:23,327
Handcuffs.
229
00:13:23,327 --> 00:13:26,028
And they werert
playing cops and robbers.
230
00:13:26,028 --> 00:13:28,503
In Texas,
with migrant workers, maybe.
231
00:13:28,503 --> 00:13:29,869
But here...
232
00:13:30,107 --> 00:13:34,043
So this Insp. Bender, he's looking
around, he walks in on this.
233
00:13:34,512 --> 00:13:38,106
They ain't gonna buy him off
with a few dresses for his wife.
234
00:13:38,381 --> 00:13:40,008
A belt buckle and a zipper.
235
00:13:40,008 --> 00:13:42,677
Tough to trace,
but this clothing label.
236
00:13:42,677 --> 00:13:46,552
"Wedded Bliss Fashions. The finest
wedding gowns in the world."
237
00:13:49,526 --> 00:13:51,460
This is one of ours, yes.
238
00:13:51,794 --> 00:13:54,388
Brides, bridesmaids,
flower girls.
239
00:13:54,631 --> 00:13:56,531
Thank God people
are getting married again.
240
00:13:56,531 --> 00:13:58,897
Must take a lot of work
to make one of these, eh?
241
00:13:58,897 --> 00:14:01,402
Every stitch
made for a lifetime.
242
00:14:01,402 --> 00:14:03,098
And made in America.
243
00:14:03,640 --> 00:14:05,129
At Third-World wages.
244
00:14:05,129 --> 00:14:07,038
Oh, I don't know
that's the case at all.
245
00:14:07,038 --> 00:14:08,337
You work in a sweatshop,
246
00:14:08,337 --> 00:14:10,571
you don't get to wear
one of these at the altar.
247
00:14:10,571 --> 00:14:13,547
I admit. I get a rush order,
I use contractors.
248
00:14:13,547 --> 00:14:15,242
Piecework, veils.
249
00:14:15,242 --> 00:14:17,581
I go with the lowest bid.
Something wrong with that?
250
00:14:17,581 --> 00:14:19,712
Depends on
the working conditions, sir.
251
00:14:19,712 --> 00:14:20,755
Be realistic.
252
00:14:20,755 --> 00:14:22,813
We're competing with Singapore.
253
00:14:23,125 --> 00:14:24,592
Do contractors use immigrants?
254
00:14:24,592 --> 00:14:26,059
I'm sure they do.
255
00:14:26,295 --> 00:14:28,490
That suit on your back,
you know who sewed it?
256
00:14:28,490 --> 00:14:30,929
You sure whoever sewed the
buttons got minimum wage?
257
00:14:30,929 --> 00:14:34,593
We are interested in the name of
the contractor who sewed this label.
258
00:14:34,593 --> 00:14:36,728
Ever hear of
the Hot Goods Statute?
259
00:14:36,728 --> 00:14:39,068
It forbids the shipping
across state lines
260
00:14:39,068 --> 00:14:41,574
of any product made in
violation of federal labor laws.
261
00:14:41,574 --> 00:14:44,941
In this case we're also
talking murder and kidnapping.
262
00:14:45,813 --> 00:14:49,010
My God, I wouldn't think...
263
00:14:50,751 --> 00:14:52,946
This one,
it would be Royalty Fashions.
264
00:14:52,946 --> 00:14:55,181
Used to be in the Bronx,
Manattan now.
265
00:14:55,181 --> 00:14:57,246
Ave. D, Alphabet City.
266
00:15:03,163 --> 00:15:04,892
They like working here.
267
00:15:04,892 --> 00:15:07,058
We have milk for the child,
268
00:15:07,058 --> 00:15:09,158
and we save the mother money
on a babysitter.
269
00:15:09,158 --> 00:15:12,603
If it wasrt for us, they'd be on the
street, starving or selling crack.
270
00:15:12,603 --> 00:15:14,799
We treat 'em like our family,
like our kids.
271
00:15:14,799 --> 00:15:16,398
And it pays off.
272
00:15:16,398 --> 00:15:17,841
They work hard.
273
00:15:18,378 --> 00:15:21,278
They're wonderful people,
devoted to their children.
274
00:15:21,278 --> 00:15:24,339
I'm touched. I didn't know there
were people like you in the world.
275
00:15:24,339 --> 00:15:25,508
How much do you pay them?
276
00:15:25,508 --> 00:15:26,949
We pay them by the piece.
277
00:15:26,949 --> 00:15:29,453
If they work fast,
they make $7 an hour.
278
00:15:30,556 --> 00:15:33,286
It's better than the $4 a day
they'd make in Nogales.
279
00:15:33,286 --> 00:15:35,418
And it's twice
the minimum wage.
280
00:15:35,418 --> 00:15:38,327
322 E. Tremont Ave.
That was your last address?
281
00:15:38,327 --> 00:15:39,728
That was two places ago.
282
00:15:39,728 --> 00:15:42,028
Several contractors
have used it.
283
00:15:42,028 --> 00:15:44,126
The place wasrt
in good condition.
284
00:15:44,126 --> 00:15:46,228
There were break-ins, rats.
285
00:15:47,805 --> 00:15:50,069
Have these kids
ever worked for you?
286
00:15:51,909 --> 00:15:52,933
Oh.
287
00:15:52,933 --> 00:15:56,310
They look much too young,
don't they, Ellis? No.
288
00:15:57,148 --> 00:16:00,083
We've been inspected.
We have fire extinguishers.
289
00:16:00,083 --> 00:16:02,176
The windows are never locked.
290
00:16:03,054 --> 00:16:05,284
We're just trying
to make a living.
291
00:16:06,424 --> 00:16:08,483
The girl we found
in the river, María Carranza,
292
00:16:08,483 --> 00:16:11,995
we got a DNA match with blood
from the mattress on Tremont.
293
00:16:11,995 --> 00:16:13,825
And the flower vendor, the kid?
294
00:16:13,825 --> 00:16:15,762
From his description,
there is no doubt
295
00:16:15,762 --> 00:16:18,130
that those kids
worked for the Drakes.
296
00:16:18,702 --> 00:16:21,102
Can we prove
who these kids are?
297
00:16:21,102 --> 00:16:23,230
Because we're not gettir
fingerprints from Mexico.
298
00:16:23,230 --> 00:16:24,899
They don't exist.
299
00:16:25,375 --> 00:16:26,672
I just don't get this.
300
00:16:26,672 --> 00:16:27,835
I mean, why chain them up?
301
00:16:27,835 --> 00:16:29,503
They're not makir
that much anyway.
302
00:16:29,503 --> 00:16:32,104
Oh, you got seven or eight
immigrants making $250 a week.
303
00:16:32,104 --> 00:16:34,673
You handcuff 'em, they
are saving $100,000 a year.
304
00:16:34,673 --> 00:16:37,879
And that is the difference
between being in business and not.
305
00:16:37,879 --> 00:16:40,421
Those green cards,
one of 'em had to be bought.
306
00:16:40,421 --> 00:16:43,287
And one of those kids is not
old enough to go to high school.
307
00:16:43,287 --> 00:16:45,884
So call Social Welfare.
You got nothing specific.
308
00:16:45,884 --> 00:16:47,223
They'll get there in a month?
309
00:16:47,223 --> 00:16:48,354
Maybe they're underage.
310
00:16:48,354 --> 00:16:49,420
Maybe they're illegal.
311
00:16:49,420 --> 00:16:51,125
Maybes will not
get you a warrant.
312
00:16:51,125 --> 00:16:52,565
Doesrt the Drakes' yellow sheet
313
00:16:52,565 --> 00:16:54,865
give us a little bit
of leeway here?
314
00:16:54,865 --> 00:16:57,633
Do you see murder
and kidnapping here?
315
00:16:57,633 --> 00:16:59,937
Health and safety,
non-payment of wages,
316
00:16:59,937 --> 00:17:01,567
endangering the welfare
of a child.
317
00:17:01,567 --> 00:17:04,408
The state took their books,
closed them down a dozen times.
318
00:17:04,408 --> 00:17:05,844
Drove 'em out of business.
319
00:17:05,844 --> 00:17:07,973
Endangerment. What's that,
a Class A misdemeanor?
320
00:17:07,973 --> 00:17:09,914
That must've shook 'em up
for 30 seconds.
321
00:17:09,914 --> 00:17:12,418
Well, our case couldn't
shake dirt from a dust mop.
322
00:17:12,418 --> 00:17:13,886
Name a judge, I'll call him.
323
00:17:13,886 --> 00:17:15,980
As long as I can hang up
before he starts screaming
324
00:17:15,980 --> 00:17:17,490
we interrupted his dinner.
325
00:17:17,490 --> 00:17:18,787
Okay, let's call the State.
326
00:17:18,787 --> 00:17:20,851
I want to look
at the Drakes' books.
327
00:17:27,335 --> 00:17:30,133
They ordered Bing Crosby's
Christmas Album.
328
00:17:30,738 --> 00:17:31,830
The CD.
329
00:17:32,673 --> 00:17:35,164
"Third notice,
East Orange Savings and Loan."
330
00:17:35,164 --> 00:17:36,504
Behind on the mortgage.
331
00:17:36,504 --> 00:17:39,546
What are we lookir for,
anyway? A check for handcuffs?
332
00:17:39,546 --> 00:17:42,776
How about a check
to the State Liquor Authority?
333
00:17:42,776 --> 00:17:44,213
For a permit.
334
00:17:46,086 --> 00:17:48,884
I didn't notice an open bar
at the sweatshop.
335
00:17:49,289 --> 00:17:51,689
Do you think they own
a nightclub on the side?
336
00:17:51,689 --> 00:17:53,590
Let's find out
who got the permit.
337
00:17:53,794 --> 00:17:56,262
The liquor license. Sí.
338
00:17:56,262 --> 00:17:57,887
Uh, Mr. And Mrs...
339
00:17:57,887 --> 00:17:59,431
Drake.
Uh-huh.
340
00:17:59,632 --> 00:18:02,624
They are like mother and
father, and they take Rudy in
341
00:18:02,624 --> 00:18:05,865
and he works for them
and they buy him a present.
342
00:18:06,939 --> 00:18:09,567
This boy and girl also worked
for the Drakes.
343
00:18:09,567 --> 00:18:10,939
Amigos.
344
00:18:11,477 --> 00:18:12,466
Oh.
345
00:18:12,678 --> 00:18:14,441
You here so often,
take a membership.
346
00:18:14,441 --> 00:18:15,606
Get a game free.
347
00:18:15,606 --> 00:18:17,148
Yeah, well, last time
we were here,
348
00:18:17,148 --> 00:18:18,945
you didn't
recognize those kids.
349
00:18:19,786 --> 00:18:21,083
What about your wife?
350
00:18:21,083 --> 00:18:23,280
Does your husband
always speak for you?
351
00:18:24,723 --> 00:18:27,453
Lina, oblige the gentlemen.
352
00:18:29,828 --> 00:18:30,920
No.
353
00:18:31,396 --> 00:18:34,058
You get into Manattan much,
Mr. Armandariz?
354
00:18:34,058 --> 00:18:35,599
Bar, pool tables.
355
00:18:35,599 --> 00:18:37,658
You know, I don't make
what a cop makes.
356
00:18:37,658 --> 00:18:40,637
Special night out, we hit a few
clubs, you know, we go dancing.
357
00:18:40,637 --> 00:18:43,401
You like to play around
in the clubs on Ave. D?
358
00:18:44,376 --> 00:18:47,277
My friends, Ellis and Betty,
do you know them?
359
00:18:47,712 --> 00:18:50,771
Generous people.
I come from Nogales.
360
00:18:50,771 --> 00:18:52,713
I cut clothes as a boy.
361
00:18:52,713 --> 00:18:54,148
They help me work my way up.
362
00:18:54,148 --> 00:18:55,583
They took care of me.
363
00:18:55,583 --> 00:18:57,518
You got a liquor license.
364
00:18:57,518 --> 00:18:59,920
You get paid a lot more
than most kids.
365
00:19:01,091 --> 00:19:02,649
I worked harder.
366
00:19:04,929 --> 00:19:05,429
Dd
367
00:19:06,430 --> 00:19:08,591
Anything else
we can do for you?
368
00:19:09,633 --> 00:19:12,727
Our amigo has two juvenile
arrests, one with a knife.
369
00:19:14,471 --> 00:19:16,905
Guarding a sweatshop,
he stabbed an inspector.
370
00:19:16,905 --> 00:19:18,338
Mug shot?
371
00:19:18,338 --> 00:19:20,239
Get us a picture? Thanks.
372
00:19:20,877 --> 00:19:22,708
The sweatshop,
was it Royalty Fashions?
373
00:19:22,708 --> 00:19:24,906
Royalty Ready-to-Wear.
Ellis and Betty Drake.
374
00:19:24,906 --> 00:19:27,711
So they took Rudy off the
streets to save him, huh?
375
00:19:27,711 --> 00:19:28,978
He was their goon.
376
00:19:28,978 --> 00:19:30,747
If we could tie him
to the cuffs.
377
00:19:30,747 --> 00:19:31,787
Yeah.
378
00:19:34,924 --> 00:19:36,824
Well, they could have
bought 'em anywhere.
379
00:19:36,824 --> 00:19:38,758
9,000 Grenadier cuffs.
380
00:19:38,758 --> 00:19:40,986
Twenty-two more shops.
You want to do 'em all?
381
00:19:40,986 --> 00:19:43,497
He could have bought 'em
through the mail.
382
00:19:44,166 --> 00:19:45,690
Or maybe closer to home.
383
00:19:45,690 --> 00:19:46,699
The Bronx?
384
00:19:46,699 --> 00:19:47,757
The Drakes, East Orange.
385
00:19:47,757 --> 00:19:50,634
They sell police equipment
in Jersey, don't they?
386
00:19:53,342 --> 00:19:56,277
New York cops. I sell
to you guys all the time.
387
00:19:57,613 --> 00:20:00,741
How many of your customers
aren't cops or security guards?
388
00:20:00,741 --> 00:20:02,249
I get the weirdoes.
389
00:20:02,249 --> 00:20:04,751
They want to dress up
in blue or fatigues.
390
00:20:04,751 --> 00:20:07,788
Ankle irons. Keep the wife
chained to the stove. I don't know.
391
00:20:07,788 --> 00:20:09,516
Not my idea of weekend fun.
392
00:20:09,516 --> 00:20:11,080
So, what can I sell you?
393
00:20:11,080 --> 00:20:12,625
How about ID?
394
00:20:15,363 --> 00:20:16,455
He's not familiar.
395
00:20:16,455 --> 00:20:18,897
This isn't a Mexican neighborhood.
You wouldn't forget him.
396
00:20:18,897 --> 00:20:21,935
Neighborhood's gone bad,
but Mexicans, not that bad.
397
00:20:21,935 --> 00:20:23,766
No, it got bad
when you moved in.
398
00:20:23,766 --> 00:20:25,965
My Jersey law's
just a little rusty,
399
00:20:25,965 --> 00:20:27,166
but the way I remember it,
400
00:20:27,166 --> 00:20:29,869
you need a job reference
for police supplies.
401
00:20:29,869 --> 00:20:32,969
I hope you have records for
everybody you sold Grenadiers to.
402
00:20:32,969 --> 00:20:34,877
You're on the wrong side
of the river.
403
00:20:34,877 --> 00:20:37,348
How fast can we get
a state trooper here, Phil?
404
00:20:37,348 --> 00:20:39,942
We're about eight to
ten minutes from the parkway.
405
00:20:39,942 --> 00:20:42,250
Maybe I remember him.
I thought he was a PR.
406
00:20:42,250 --> 00:20:44,085
He looked at cattle prods.
407
00:20:44,085 --> 00:20:46,351
Yeah, I think I sold him
some cuffs.
408
00:20:46,860 --> 00:20:49,294
He bought the cuffs!
A dozen pair!
409
00:20:49,294 --> 00:20:51,330
Handcuffs with
the same lot number.
410
00:20:51,330 --> 00:20:53,127
Which happened
to be attached to a bed
411
00:20:53,127 --> 00:20:55,030
with the same blood
as the dead girl.
412
00:20:55,030 --> 00:20:56,898
They can put the kids
in the sweatshop.
413
00:20:56,898 --> 00:20:58,698
They got a witness
who saw the Drakes.
414
00:20:58,698 --> 00:21:00,636
You can put the kids
and the Drakes there.
415
00:21:00,636 --> 00:21:02,435
You can't prove
the Drakes killed them.
416
00:21:02,435 --> 00:21:03,975
They bought Rudy
a liquor license.
417
00:21:03,975 --> 00:21:06,341
They're paying him for
something! What do you want?
418
00:21:06,341 --> 00:21:07,401
More dead kids?
419
00:21:07,401 --> 00:21:09,276
All right, that's enough, Mike.
420
00:21:09,276 --> 00:21:12,010
This one's got everybody
a little upset, Paul.
421
00:21:13,018 --> 00:21:16,317
Hey, you guys put a stakeout
on somebody named Armandariz?
422
00:21:16,655 --> 00:21:18,020
They said you wanted to know.
423
00:21:18,020 --> 00:21:19,955
He just parked
on Ave. D.
424
00:21:24,495 --> 00:21:27,464
We have no witnesses,
no convincing Forensics.
425
00:21:27,464 --> 00:21:28,897
I take this to the grand jury,
426
00:21:28,897 --> 00:21:31,299
I have more holes than
the Internal Revenue Code.
427
00:21:31,299 --> 00:21:35,066
Paul, Rudy Armandariz, 16 years
old, he stabs an inspector.
428
00:21:35,066 --> 00:21:36,766
What the hell
you think he's gonna do
429
00:21:36,766 --> 00:21:39,309
if Ira Bender stumbled
into that backroom?
430
00:21:39,309 --> 00:21:42,369
And if those Mexicans
are still working on Ave. D,
431
00:21:42,369 --> 00:21:44,176
they won't be tomorrow.
432
00:21:46,884 --> 00:21:47,908
Okay.
433
00:21:50,954 --> 00:21:53,855
Where are they? Where are the
Mexican kids who were working here?
434
00:21:53,855 --> 00:21:56,290
People come and go.
They probably went home.
435
00:21:56,290 --> 00:21:58,726
Uh, where's your friend,
Mr. Armandariz?
436
00:21:59,429 --> 00:22:01,659
Downstairs? Okay, let's go!
437
00:22:02,532 --> 00:22:05,501
You're under arrest for the murder
of Eduardo and María Carranza.
438
00:22:05,501 --> 00:22:07,127
You have the right
to remain silent.
439
00:22:08,305 --> 00:22:09,966
Cover me on the street!
440
00:22:18,014 --> 00:22:20,574
Halt, Armandariz, hold it!
Get away from...
441
00:22:20,574 --> 00:22:22,641
Don't even think about it!
442
00:22:22,641 --> 00:22:25,310
You think that
window's bulletproof, huh?
443
00:22:33,095 --> 00:22:35,723
You like to get 'em around
the neck, don't you, huh?
444
00:22:35,723 --> 00:22:37,698
That way you can
feel 'em die. Mike!
445
00:22:37,698 --> 00:22:39,735
Did you rape the girl
before you killed her?
446
00:22:39,735 --> 00:22:42,133
How about the boy, huh?
Mike! Mike! Mike!
447
00:22:42,604 --> 00:22:45,835
Rudy Armandariz, you're
under arrest for murder.
448
00:22:46,274 --> 00:22:48,606
Anything you say can be used
against you in a court of law.
449
00:22:48,606 --> 00:22:50,008
Do you understand that?
450
00:22:53,348 --> 00:22:55,077
"Docket number 52782.
451
00:22:55,077 --> 00:22:58,745
"The People v. Rudy Armandariz,
Ellis Drake, and Betty Drake.
452
00:22:58,745 --> 00:23:01,118
"Three counts murder,
second degree,
453
00:23:01,118 --> 00:23:03,453
two counts kidnapping,
first degree."
454
00:23:03,453 --> 00:23:05,686
Everybody's
pleading guilty, right?
455
00:23:05,686 --> 00:23:07,056
Not guilty, Your Honor.
456
00:23:07,056 --> 00:23:09,894
Not guilty.
457
00:23:09,894 --> 00:23:13,126
Your Honor, Mr. Armandariz
has repeatedly visited Mexico.
458
00:23:13,126 --> 00:23:14,724
The risk of flight
is substantial.
459
00:23:14,724 --> 00:23:16,633
We request that
he be held without bail.
460
00:23:16,633 --> 00:23:20,333
For Mr. And Mrs. Drake,
$250,000 each defendant.
461
00:23:20,333 --> 00:23:22,102
Mr. Armandariz
owns a business
462
00:23:22,102 --> 00:23:23,871
that needs his attention,
Your Honor.
463
00:23:23,871 --> 00:23:24,968
The risk of flight...
464
00:23:24,968 --> 00:23:26,410
Is humongous, Counselor.
465
00:23:26,410 --> 00:23:29,813
The charge is murder, not
spitting on the subway. No bail.
466
00:23:29,813 --> 00:23:31,180
Mr. Dunlap.
467
00:23:31,180 --> 00:23:33,684
Your Honor, my clients
are innocent victims
468
00:23:33,684 --> 00:23:35,084
of a career criminal
469
00:23:35,084 --> 00:23:37,588
and an ungrateful orphan
they tried to help.
470
00:23:37,588 --> 00:23:39,989
They took him off the street,
set him up in business,
471
00:23:39,989 --> 00:23:41,822
bought him a house
as a wedding present.
472
00:23:41,822 --> 00:23:44,226
Oh, this isn't
about slave labor.
473
00:23:44,226 --> 00:23:46,231
It's about
a dysfunctional family.
474
00:23:46,231 --> 00:23:48,290
Why don't we send it
to Family Court?
475
00:23:48,290 --> 00:23:50,267
Family values week is over.
476
00:23:50,267 --> 00:23:51,701
The People's request
is granted.
477
00:23:51,701 --> 00:23:55,867
And, Mr. Dunlap, no bond.
All cash.
478
00:23:56,843 --> 00:23:58,003
Beautiful, Charlie.
479
00:23:58,003 --> 00:24:00,203
He made slaves of them,
then he kills them?
480
00:24:00,203 --> 00:24:02,212
Did you have to take this case?
481
00:24:02,212 --> 00:24:04,373
Where's the congregation,
Rev. Stone?
482
00:24:04,373 --> 00:24:06,041
The sermon can't be for me.
483
00:24:06,041 --> 00:24:08,484
How did you end up with this?
Your office is on Park Ave.
484
00:24:08,484 --> 00:24:10,316
Does Armandariz
even know the zip code?
485
00:24:10,316 --> 00:24:11,650
He reads the Post.
486
00:24:11,650 --> 00:24:14,089
He knows I give people
of color a good defense.
487
00:24:14,359 --> 00:24:16,850
Especially when you try and
plead white people against him.
488
00:24:16,850 --> 00:24:18,418
If that's a preamble
to a speech
489
00:24:18,418 --> 00:24:20,863
on the racist system, can we
roll it over till tomorrow?
490
00:24:20,863 --> 00:24:22,797
Man two, one count, two years.
491
00:24:22,797 --> 00:24:24,698
He testifies
against the Drakes.
492
00:24:24,698 --> 00:24:26,066
Man one, three counts.
493
00:24:26,066 --> 00:24:28,469
I want him deep into old age
when he gets out.
494
00:24:28,469 --> 00:24:29,938
With your case?
495
00:24:29,938 --> 00:24:32,565
It's not circumstantial,
it's atmospheric.
496
00:24:32,565 --> 00:24:34,007
Man two, two counts.
497
00:24:34,007 --> 00:24:36,842
For handcuffing people
to beds and killing them.
498
00:24:37,948 --> 00:24:40,940
May I explain to you why
you won't win on the cuffs?
499
00:24:40,940 --> 00:24:42,781
Rudy's video rentals.
500
00:24:43,120 --> 00:24:45,281
One of his favorites shows
a woman handcuffed to a bed.
501
00:24:45,281 --> 00:24:47,654
His wife will testify
that's why he bought 'em.
502
00:24:47,654 --> 00:24:50,216
That'll convince a jury.
A dozen pair?
503
00:24:50,216 --> 00:24:52,452
The jury may find
it's disgusting.
504
00:24:52,929 --> 00:24:55,591
They don't dish out
25-to-life on disgust.
505
00:24:56,733 --> 00:24:58,166
Slavery.
506
00:24:59,435 --> 00:25:02,962
I woke up this morning, I
thought it was the 20th century.
507
00:25:02,962 --> 00:25:04,539
In some places.
508
00:25:04,808 --> 00:25:07,208
The mayor's appointing
a commission.
509
00:25:07,208 --> 00:25:10,144
Yeah, they'll debate it for
six months, issue a report.
510
00:25:10,144 --> 00:25:12,305
It will disappear
before anyone reads it.
511
00:25:12,305 --> 00:25:13,940
People chained to their beds.
512
00:25:13,940 --> 00:25:15,484
Why don't they take
a few dollars
513
00:25:15,484 --> 00:25:18,452
from street cleaning
and hire more inspectors?
514
00:25:19,121 --> 00:25:22,648
In politics, two choices:
Do nothing, do something.
515
00:25:23,325 --> 00:25:25,190
Nothing has fewer risks.
516
00:25:25,661 --> 00:25:26,992
I hope we have a case.
517
00:25:26,992 --> 00:25:28,552
A lot of ifs and maybes.
518
00:25:28,552 --> 00:25:31,030
The big problem is,
I have to prove a crime
519
00:25:31,030 --> 00:25:33,192
that nobody wants
to believe happened.
520
00:25:33,192 --> 00:25:36,066
A good couple
with a small business.
521
00:25:36,066 --> 00:25:39,265
Who wants to think they
have Dachau in the back room?
522
00:25:39,265 --> 00:25:41,002
It's just too horrifying.
523
00:25:41,410 --> 00:25:43,377
Porn movies with handcuffs.
524
00:25:43,911 --> 00:25:46,402
Doesrt even beat possession
by the devil.
525
00:25:46,402 --> 00:25:48,004
It's the big lie, Adam.
526
00:25:48,004 --> 00:25:50,050
Repeat it often enough,
it's the truth.
527
00:25:50,050 --> 00:25:52,415
Charlie Meadow will sell
the hell out of pornography.
528
00:25:52,415 --> 00:25:54,351
And you'll sell the hell
out of those kids
529
00:25:54,351 --> 00:25:56,890
being connected
with all three defendants.
530
00:25:56,890 --> 00:25:58,585
Why can't you use the Drakes?
531
00:25:58,585 --> 00:26:01,594
Dunlap wants to plead, but
his clients won't discuss it.
532
00:26:01,594 --> 00:26:03,789
Wort discuss
they're accessories.
533
00:26:03,789 --> 00:26:06,095
Yes, they didn't
strangle those kids,
534
00:26:06,095 --> 00:26:08,600
they didn't dump
an inspector in the river.
535
00:26:08,600 --> 00:26:10,636
But they also didn't make bail.
536
00:26:10,636 --> 00:26:14,470
And they're in Rikers, hoping
they don't get their throats slit.
537
00:26:14,470 --> 00:26:16,634
I'd sure want
to discuss a plea.
538
00:26:16,634 --> 00:26:19,611
Dunlap said the Drakes
were victims of Armandariz.
539
00:26:19,611 --> 00:26:22,204
It's a good tactic, but
his clients didn't like it.
540
00:26:22,204 --> 00:26:23,579
They're scared of Rudy.
541
00:26:23,579 --> 00:26:25,515
Make 'em scared of you.
542
00:26:29,556 --> 00:26:31,490
If you're convicted,
Mrs. Drake,
543
00:26:31,490 --> 00:26:33,048
you'll die in prison.
544
00:26:34,159 --> 00:26:37,094
I'm gonna die
in my own bed at home.
545
00:26:37,396 --> 00:26:39,557
With my dear husband
next to me.
546
00:26:39,557 --> 00:26:41,657
Mrs. Drake,
we don't believe
547
00:26:41,657 --> 00:26:43,964
that you killed Ira Bender
or those children.
548
00:26:43,964 --> 00:26:45,901
But if you try
to save Mr. Armandariz,
549
00:26:45,901 --> 00:26:47,598
you'll go down with him.
550
00:26:47,598 --> 00:26:50,073
Betty, he's offering 12 years.
551
00:26:50,073 --> 00:26:52,667
You're facing 75-to-life.
552
00:26:54,980 --> 00:26:56,470
I'm no lawyer.
553
00:26:56,470 --> 00:26:59,674
You guys would sell your
mother for a day at the races.
554
00:27:00,752 --> 00:27:03,277
We don't testify against a boy
555
00:27:03,277 --> 00:27:05,413
we brought up like our own son.
556
00:27:07,191 --> 00:27:08,419
Mr. Drake?
557
00:27:15,266 --> 00:27:16,699
I asked them to plead, Ben.
558
00:27:16,699 --> 00:27:18,759
They don't understand
the odds on conviction.
559
00:27:18,759 --> 00:27:20,770
Sophisticated they're not.
That's right.
560
00:27:20,770 --> 00:27:23,636
This lady gets a cold,
she wants to go to Lourdes.
561
00:27:23,636 --> 00:27:25,538
I'll see you in court.
562
00:27:26,510 --> 00:27:28,341
It's a good deal.
Why won't they take it?
563
00:27:28,341 --> 00:27:29,674
Well, we're missing something.
564
00:27:29,674 --> 00:27:31,111
Do the Drakes have visitors?
565
00:27:31,111 --> 00:27:32,671
Just him. The lawyer.
566
00:27:32,671 --> 00:27:35,343
At the end of every day have the
visitor's list sent downstairs.
567
00:27:35,343 --> 00:27:37,614
I want it faxed to
my office. Right.
568
00:27:41,892 --> 00:27:44,793
Ellis Drake's brother, Fred,
has been there six times.
569
00:27:44,793 --> 00:27:45,987
To see his brother?
570
00:27:45,987 --> 00:27:47,462
Only Ellis, not Betty.
571
00:27:47,462 --> 00:27:49,192
I talked to Fred's bookkeeper.
572
00:27:49,192 --> 00:27:51,790
Fred and Ellis were partners,
garment business.
573
00:27:51,790 --> 00:27:53,858
But the partnering
wasrt very brotherly.
574
00:27:53,858 --> 00:27:56,905
And Fred definitely wasrt
crazy about his sister-in-law.
575
00:27:56,905 --> 00:27:59,999
See how crazy he is about
his brother goir to prison.
576
00:28:01,644 --> 00:28:03,168
I'm not stupid.
577
00:28:03,168 --> 00:28:05,440
I'm not making it easier
to convict my brother.
578
00:28:05,440 --> 00:28:08,142
If your brother's a pawn of
Armandariz, we'd like to help him.
579
00:28:08,142 --> 00:28:09,479
Oh, sure you would.
580
00:28:09,479 --> 00:28:11,747
And I always put money
in the meter.
581
00:28:12,922 --> 00:28:14,856
More coffee, gentlemen?
582
00:28:14,856 --> 00:28:16,118
Thank you.
583
00:28:19,961 --> 00:28:22,020
If your brother
doesn't cooperate,
584
00:28:22,020 --> 00:28:25,294
you'll be visiting him upstate
the rest of his life.
585
00:28:29,070 --> 00:28:30,435
Money was tight.
586
00:28:30,672 --> 00:28:32,606
This kid Rudy,
sweeping the floors,
587
00:28:32,606 --> 00:28:35,905
says he can get Mexicans
cheaper than Chinese.
588
00:28:35,905 --> 00:28:38,969
Suddenly this psycho
is running the company.
589
00:28:40,315 --> 00:28:42,078
Ellis won't turn on Rudy.
590
00:28:43,317 --> 00:28:44,614
And your sister-in-law?
591
00:28:44,614 --> 00:28:45,913
Oh, sweet Betty?
592
00:28:45,913 --> 00:28:48,284
Yeah, she's like a mother
to Rudy.
593
00:28:48,284 --> 00:28:50,585
Only most mothers
are not that loving.
594
00:28:53,761 --> 00:28:54,989
She do some cooking?
595
00:28:54,989 --> 00:28:56,427
Home cooking.
596
00:28:56,864 --> 00:29:00,493
She didn't even have the decency
to do it behind Ellis's back.
597
00:29:01,135 --> 00:29:04,969
I begged Ellis,
sell that son of a bitch out.
598
00:29:06,840 --> 00:29:08,808
He said if it didn't work,
599
00:29:08,808 --> 00:29:11,935
he would have a little trouble
breathing underwater.
600
00:29:14,280 --> 00:29:16,145
You want to use
Armandariz's wife?
601
00:29:16,145 --> 00:29:17,512
We need a witness.
602
00:29:17,512 --> 00:29:20,416
And if Ellis's brother knew
that Rudy was in bed with Betty,
603
00:29:20,416 --> 00:29:22,113
you'd think
Rudy's wife would know.
604
00:29:22,113 --> 00:29:24,656
And if she didn't,
you'll be glad to tell her.
605
00:29:24,656 --> 00:29:27,215
And that's enough to turn her
against her husband?
606
00:29:27,215 --> 00:29:28,658
Jealousy and anger.
607
00:29:28,658 --> 00:29:30,559
What about loyalty and fear?
608
00:29:30,559 --> 00:29:32,756
How are you gonna handle
spousal privilege?
609
00:29:32,756 --> 00:29:34,265
Spousal privilege has limits.
610
00:29:34,265 --> 00:29:36,300
And maybe
she won't have to testify.
611
00:29:36,300 --> 00:29:38,302
Maybe she'll lead us
to those missing kids.
612
00:29:38,302 --> 00:29:40,338
Busy signal at
the Armandariz house.
613
00:29:40,338 --> 00:29:42,100
Phone company says
off the hook.
614
00:29:42,100 --> 00:29:43,232
The Drakes are scared.
615
00:29:43,232 --> 00:29:45,435
She's probably hiding
under the bed.
616
00:29:45,435 --> 00:29:48,104
Go out to East Orange,
take a run at her.
617
00:29:48,980 --> 00:29:50,914
I work at the club.
618
00:29:51,183 --> 00:29:53,344
The wedding gowns,
I never saw that.
619
00:29:53,344 --> 00:29:56,353
The Drakes paid for your liquor
license, bought this house.
620
00:29:56,353 --> 00:29:57,752
Your husband
621
00:29:58,256 --> 00:30:00,883
was having intimate relations
with Mrs. Drake.
622
00:30:02,827 --> 00:30:04,260
This is true?
623
00:30:07,298 --> 00:30:10,290
You say, "Marry him."
For the Church.
624
00:30:10,901 --> 00:30:13,131
You say God will
strike me down.
625
00:30:13,838 --> 00:30:17,501
You wanted his bed,
you marry him.
626
00:30:19,310 --> 00:30:21,904
I told you, be respectable.
627
00:30:26,583 --> 00:30:29,677
The girl, and the boy,
the ones you found.
628
00:30:30,053 --> 00:30:31,281
Rudy?
629
00:30:32,722 --> 00:30:34,713
Ask your granddaughter.
630
00:30:39,696 --> 00:30:41,129
I don't know.
631
00:30:42,699 --> 00:30:44,690
I wanted to stop Rudy.
632
00:30:45,535 --> 00:30:48,299
They tried to escape,
and he caught them.
633
00:30:49,672 --> 00:30:52,038
He said that
they would go to the police.
634
00:30:54,109 --> 00:30:55,633
He had to kill them.
635
00:30:57,913 --> 00:30:59,471
He had to kill them.
636
00:31:00,816 --> 00:31:02,750
Spouses testifying
against spouses.
637
00:31:02,750 --> 00:31:04,615
I don't like it
under any circumstances.
638
00:31:04,615 --> 00:31:06,187
The privilege in this case
639
00:31:06,187 --> 00:31:08,280
rests with Lina Armandariz,
not her husband.
640
00:31:08,280 --> 00:31:11,052
Judge, what country
is he practicing in?
641
00:31:11,052 --> 00:31:13,151
No court in New York,
trial or appellate,
642
00:31:13,151 --> 00:31:15,196
encroaches on the sanctity
of marriage.
643
00:31:15,196 --> 00:31:16,663
He can't compel her to testify.
644
00:31:16,663 --> 00:31:18,289
It's not about compelling.
645
00:31:18,289 --> 00:31:19,958
It's about allowing her
to testify.
646
00:31:19,958 --> 00:31:22,832
And if she witnessed
a criminal act uninvited,
647
00:31:22,832 --> 00:31:25,839
and was not a participant,
her husband has no privilege.
648
00:31:25,839 --> 00:31:28,000
Thank you, Ben.
I know the law.
649
00:31:29,477 --> 00:31:31,536
Suppose I whisper
to my wife in bed:
650
00:31:31,536 --> 00:31:34,672
"I hate my brother. I bought
a gun. I wanna kill him."
651
00:31:34,672 --> 00:31:36,546
The next day she sees me do it.
652
00:31:36,546 --> 00:31:39,450
Is her witnessing the crime
a result of marital intimacy?
653
00:31:39,450 --> 00:31:41,112
If it is,
then I have privilege.
654
00:31:41,112 --> 00:31:42,520
But, in this case,
we don't know
655
00:31:42,520 --> 00:31:45,183
what Lina Armandariz heard
on the marital bed.
656
00:31:45,183 --> 00:31:48,091
Mrs. Armandariz said
she was there by coincidence.
657
00:31:48,091 --> 00:31:49,890
I'm deeply surprised.
658
00:31:50,197 --> 00:31:52,097
I'm sure you didn't
put words in her mouth.
659
00:31:52,097 --> 00:31:53,962
Mr. Meadow,
you're in the gutter.
660
00:31:53,962 --> 00:31:55,934
You want to insult
his intelligence, fine.
661
00:31:55,934 --> 00:31:59,369
You will not accuse him in my
chambers of suborning perjury.
662
00:31:59,839 --> 00:32:01,067
I don't know, Ben.
663
00:32:01,541 --> 00:32:04,032
There's another exception,
Your Honor.
664
00:32:04,032 --> 00:32:07,204
A spouse who witnesses the
planning of a crime can testify.
665
00:32:07,204 --> 00:32:10,646
Mrs. Armandariz knew that her
husband planned to kill those kids.
666
00:32:10,646 --> 00:32:13,276
Talk about a hole you
could drive an army through.
667
00:32:13,276 --> 00:32:14,683
I think he's got
the right army.
668
00:32:14,683 --> 00:32:16,015
Judge, you can't accept...
669
00:32:16,015 --> 00:32:17,077
You bet I can.
670
00:32:17,077 --> 00:32:19,124
If that child wasrt dead
when she got there,
671
00:32:19,124 --> 00:32:21,216
the wife sure saw
a crime planned.
672
00:32:21,216 --> 00:32:23,318
This court rules
the husband has no privilege.
673
00:32:23,318 --> 00:32:25,955
The wife wants to testify,
it's her choice.
674
00:32:29,568 --> 00:32:33,504
It, uh, happened
a couple of months ago.
675
00:32:34,240 --> 00:32:37,072
Maybe, I think, last June.
676
00:32:37,842 --> 00:32:39,275
Did you witness a struggle
677
00:32:39,275 --> 00:32:41,778
between your husband
and Eduardo Carranza?
678
00:32:43,982 --> 00:32:45,279
Yes, I did.
679
00:32:47,218 --> 00:32:49,243
Did your husband say
680
00:32:50,221 --> 00:32:52,553
that he would have to kill
Eduardo Carranza
681
00:32:52,553 --> 00:32:54,785
to prevent another attempt
at escape?
682
00:32:59,097 --> 00:33:00,029
No.
683
00:33:03,000 --> 00:33:04,524
What did you say?
684
00:33:04,768 --> 00:33:07,430
No, he never say that.
685
00:33:09,339 --> 00:33:12,172
Uh, Rudy let María and Eduardo
go back to Mexico.
686
00:33:12,172 --> 00:33:15,075
Mrs. Armandariz,
this isn't what you told me.
687
00:33:16,213 --> 00:33:18,340
Did your husband threaten you?
688
00:33:18,340 --> 00:33:19,905
Off the record.
689
00:33:21,351 --> 00:33:24,115
Mrs. Armandariz,
you're making a mistake.
690
00:33:26,123 --> 00:33:27,919
What do you think
he'll do to you anyway
691
00:33:27,919 --> 00:33:30,049
when he gets out of jail?
692
00:33:37,066 --> 00:33:39,933
You are under oath.
You are committing perjury.
693
00:33:48,978 --> 00:33:50,969
Rudy never killed anybody.
694
00:33:52,648 --> 00:33:55,138
I don't know what happened
to the children.
695
00:34:02,057 --> 00:34:03,718
You had to lose your temper.
696
00:34:03,718 --> 00:34:05,987
She lied, Adam.
She denied everything.
697
00:34:05,987 --> 00:34:08,154
With that husband,
who can blame her?
698
00:34:08,154 --> 00:34:09,287
Compared to what he can do,
699
00:34:09,287 --> 00:34:11,389
you're threatening to take
away her hairdresser.
700
00:34:11,389 --> 00:34:13,559
I'll get a perjury indictment
based on a deposition.
701
00:34:13,559 --> 00:34:15,227
Good. When you go to trial,
702
00:34:15,227 --> 00:34:18,067
invite a couple of law students
to provide the laughter.
703
00:34:18,067 --> 00:34:19,901
Why I thought
this was winnable.
704
00:34:19,901 --> 00:34:22,464
I assumed we'd have
some kind of witness.
705
00:34:22,464 --> 00:34:24,568
Without one, we're gonna lose.
706
00:34:31,952 --> 00:34:34,512
Rudy, Mr. Armandariz,
707
00:34:35,322 --> 00:34:37,916
he asked kids to work
in the sweatshop.
708
00:34:37,916 --> 00:34:41,449
Did you personally hear him
ask María and Eduardo Carranza
709
00:34:41,449 --> 00:34:44,190
if they wanted jobs
sewing wedding gowns?
710
00:34:44,190 --> 00:34:46,458
Yes, he asked them in the club.
711
00:34:47,633 --> 00:34:51,501
Did there come a time when you
looked for María and Eduardo
712
00:34:51,501 --> 00:34:53,869
because you hadrt seen them
in the neighborhood?
713
00:34:53,869 --> 00:34:55,771
I had a letter
714
00:34:55,771 --> 00:34:57,537
from Eduardo's mother.
715
00:34:58,177 --> 00:34:59,906
She didn't hear from him.
716
00:35:00,713 --> 00:35:03,204
I went to the sweatshop,
the factory.
717
00:35:04,150 --> 00:35:07,517
The boss told me Eduardo and
María went home to Mexico.
718
00:35:08,588 --> 00:35:10,749
Is that man
in the courtroom today?
719
00:35:13,825 --> 00:35:15,452
That man, there.
720
00:35:15,452 --> 00:35:18,690
Let the record indicate he's
pointing at the defendant,
721
00:35:18,690 --> 00:35:20,095
Ellis Drake.
722
00:35:20,095 --> 00:35:21,826
The record will so indicate.
723
00:35:21,826 --> 00:35:23,993
Thank you.
No further questions.
724
00:35:30,142 --> 00:35:31,234
Mr. Lopez,
725
00:35:32,644 --> 00:35:36,410
did you ever go
inside this sweatshop
726
00:35:36,410 --> 00:35:38,914
during the time
when María and Eduardo
727
00:35:38,914 --> 00:35:40,848
were supposedly working there?
728
00:35:41,051 --> 00:35:42,780
No, I didn't.
729
00:35:42,780 --> 00:35:45,378
Well, then you never
actually saw them in there
730
00:35:45,378 --> 00:35:47,048
with Mr. Drake, did you?
731
00:35:48,492 --> 00:35:49,459
No.
732
00:35:51,996 --> 00:35:54,726
How well did you know
Eduardo and María?
733
00:35:56,534 --> 00:35:58,593
Just around the neighborhood.
734
00:35:58,593 --> 00:36:01,137
In point of fact, they might
have gone back to Mexico
735
00:36:01,137 --> 00:36:03,138
without your knowing.
736
00:36:03,138 --> 00:36:05,470
No, they would have
said goodbye.
737
00:36:05,809 --> 00:36:08,403
Really?
To a casual acquaintance?
738
00:36:09,846 --> 00:36:11,814
Even if they left in a hurry?
739
00:36:14,951 --> 00:36:17,010
Blood on the mattress
found in the tenement
740
00:36:17,010 --> 00:36:19,452
matches DNA
from María Carranza's body
741
00:36:19,452 --> 00:36:21,183
with 90% accuracy.
742
00:36:21,758 --> 00:36:24,420
What accounts for a less
than perfect match?
743
00:36:25,094 --> 00:36:27,654
The body was submerged
in water for several weeks.
744
00:36:27,654 --> 00:36:30,527
Tissue damage made a
perfect match impossible.
745
00:36:30,527 --> 00:36:32,691
Well, thank you.
Your witness.
746
00:36:38,440 --> 00:36:39,805
90%.
747
00:36:40,943 --> 00:36:43,138
Is that a good match,
in your experience?
748
00:36:43,138 --> 00:36:44,474
Yes, it is.
749
00:36:45,581 --> 00:36:46,946
Is that so?
750
00:36:47,449 --> 00:36:50,748
How many other people would
that blood sample match?
751
00:36:50,748 --> 00:36:52,411
Several thousand.
752
00:36:53,956 --> 00:36:55,547
A hundred thousand?
753
00:36:56,123 --> 00:36:57,181
Possibly.
754
00:36:57,181 --> 00:37:00,919
So that might not be
María Carranza's blood at all.
755
00:37:01,429 --> 00:37:03,397
In fact, you don't even know
756
00:37:03,397 --> 00:37:05,830
if that's
María Carranza's body, do you?
757
00:37:05,830 --> 00:37:07,197
She did work there.
758
00:37:07,197 --> 00:37:08,701
The picture was identified.
759
00:37:08,701 --> 00:37:10,930
The odds of someone else
with so close a match...
760
00:37:10,930 --> 00:37:12,700
Are what, Mr. Medill?
761
00:37:12,700 --> 00:37:16,368
Are you an expert in population
demographics or forensics?
762
00:37:16,368 --> 00:37:18,844
Never mind.
No further questions.
763
00:37:19,514 --> 00:37:21,606
Each hit by itself
doesn't hurt us,
764
00:37:21,606 --> 00:37:22,978
but you add 'em up...
765
00:37:23,350 --> 00:37:25,113
Suppose we charge Rudy's wife,
766
00:37:25,113 --> 00:37:26,345
say I'll testify.
767
00:37:26,345 --> 00:37:28,910
Accessory to murder.
She admitted she was there.
768
00:37:28,910 --> 00:37:30,616
To an assistant
district attorney.
769
00:37:30,616 --> 00:37:33,124
You want to take that
to a grand jury?
770
00:37:33,426 --> 00:37:36,122
Call Frank Dunlap.
Let's go out to Rikers.
771
00:37:36,122 --> 00:37:38,287
Did you look at Ellis Drake?
772
00:37:38,287 --> 00:37:40,925
He turns right,
his wife burns him.
773
00:37:41,401 --> 00:37:44,598
He turns left, he's staring
at the bottom of the Hudson.
774
00:37:44,598 --> 00:37:47,070
By now, maybe
he's more angry than scared.
775
00:37:47,070 --> 00:37:49,107
He would've broken by now.
776
00:37:49,107 --> 00:37:51,540
You can't light a fire
without tinder.
777
00:37:51,540 --> 00:37:53,077
Put Rudy in the room.
778
00:37:53,077 --> 00:37:55,443
We might not have
to strike the match.
779
00:37:57,249 --> 00:37:59,376
The boy pointed
at you, Mr. Drake.
780
00:37:59,376 --> 00:38:01,282
If they want to convict anyone,
781
00:38:01,282 --> 00:38:03,685
it's not your wife
or sonny boy.
782
00:38:03,685 --> 00:38:06,623
Time out. We agreed,
no separate deals.
783
00:38:06,623 --> 00:38:09,593
You think we'd turn against
each other? We're family here.
784
00:38:09,593 --> 00:38:11,789
Well, cut the family number,
Mrs. Drake.
785
00:38:11,789 --> 00:38:13,831
We all know
who's playing musical beds.
786
00:38:13,831 --> 00:38:16,628
Hey, I got music in me.
What does that prove?
787
00:38:16,628 --> 00:38:19,101
Stop it! Shut up! It's bad
enough you were doing it!
788
00:38:19,101 --> 00:38:22,367
She begged for it, man.
She screamed for it.
789
00:38:22,874 --> 00:38:25,672
Mr. Drake, manslaughter one,
two counts.
790
00:38:25,672 --> 00:38:27,335
You only do nine years.
791
00:38:27,335 --> 00:38:29,403
Hold on,
you can't do that. Guard!
792
00:38:29,403 --> 00:38:30,947
We're offering you a deal.
793
00:38:30,947 --> 00:38:33,483
You testify against your wife
and Mr. Armandariz.
794
00:38:33,483 --> 00:38:34,711
I'm leaving.
You've to stop.
795
00:38:34,711 --> 00:38:36,344
You can't talk
in front of my client.
796
00:38:36,344 --> 00:38:39,014
Fine. Guard, take Mr.
Armandariz to his cell.
797
00:38:39,014 --> 00:38:41,148
Ben, Ben, this is unethical.
798
00:38:43,527 --> 00:38:44,926
You had to sleep with him.
799
00:38:44,926 --> 00:38:46,019
The money wasrt enough.
800
00:38:46,019 --> 00:38:47,757
Ellis, keep your mouth shut.
801
00:38:47,757 --> 00:38:50,595
Bought him a house,
rubbed my face in it!
802
00:38:50,595 --> 00:38:51,827
You pathetic wimp!
803
00:38:51,827 --> 00:38:55,099
That's what I am?
Him... You couldn't stop!
804
00:38:57,341 --> 00:38:58,603
I'll do it.
805
00:39:01,345 --> 00:39:04,802
I'm going to jail,
and you're going with me.
806
00:39:11,554 --> 00:39:13,317
He got these Mexican kids.
807
00:39:13,317 --> 00:39:15,550
We promised to pay them
by the piece.
808
00:39:15,550 --> 00:39:18,150
End of the week,
Rudy said don't pay them.
809
00:39:18,150 --> 00:39:19,854
They can't complain.
810
00:39:20,463 --> 00:39:22,624
Did there come a time
when Mr. Armandariz
811
00:39:22,624 --> 00:39:25,030
suggested other ways
of making money?
812
00:39:26,268 --> 00:39:29,533
Well, he found these
metal beds in a vacant lot.
813
00:39:30,071 --> 00:39:32,835
He said he could
just tie the kids up.
814
00:39:34,242 --> 00:39:36,142
He did it with handcuffs.
815
00:39:36,142 --> 00:39:37,803
Tell the court what happened
816
00:39:37,803 --> 00:39:40,780
when Mr. Ira Bender
came to inspect your factory.
817
00:39:42,584 --> 00:39:44,848
He wanted to see the backroom.
818
00:39:45,420 --> 00:39:48,048
He opened the door.
Rudy was inside.
819
00:39:48,657 --> 00:39:50,488
He got him around the neck.
820
00:39:52,027 --> 00:39:55,484
He handcuffed him,
pulled his tie up.
821
00:39:57,931 --> 00:39:59,523
And he killed him.
822
00:40:01,101 --> 00:40:04,969
And what happened
to María and Eduardo Carranza?
823
00:40:06,840 --> 00:40:10,276
We were trying to move them
and they tried to get away.
824
00:40:11,745 --> 00:40:13,542
Rudy killed them
in front of the others.
825
00:40:13,542 --> 00:40:16,276
He said nobody would try
to escape again.
826
00:40:17,951 --> 00:40:19,441
Thank you, sir.
827
00:40:26,893 --> 00:40:28,155
Mr. Drake,
828
00:40:28,828 --> 00:40:32,423
you testified that you and
your wife and Mr. Armandariz
829
00:40:32,423 --> 00:40:34,523
turned these people
into slaves.
830
00:40:36,069 --> 00:40:37,730
Did you really do that?
831
00:40:38,337 --> 00:40:41,829
It doesn't seem like something
I could've done, but I did.
832
00:40:42,975 --> 00:40:44,943
Why are you testifying today?
833
00:40:45,778 --> 00:40:49,144
We deserve to be punished.
All of us do.
834
00:40:49,648 --> 00:40:51,138
Is that the reason?
835
00:40:51,883 --> 00:40:54,078
Or is it your agreement
with the district attorney
836
00:40:54,078 --> 00:40:55,585
for a reduced sentence?
837
00:40:55,585 --> 00:40:57,814
Nine years instead of 75.
838
00:40:59,024 --> 00:41:00,992
The sentence doesn't matter.
839
00:41:00,992 --> 00:41:02,822
It would matter to me.
840
00:41:03,662 --> 00:41:05,323
Tell us, Mr. Drake,
841
00:41:05,997 --> 00:41:08,557
was your wife sexually
involved with Mr. Armandariz?
842
00:41:08,557 --> 00:41:09,930
That's not the reason, either.
843
00:41:09,930 --> 00:41:11,366
But she was.
844
00:41:11,366 --> 00:41:14,302
And you were jealous.
Were you also angry?
845
00:41:14,839 --> 00:41:17,535
What was the effect
of that humiliation?
846
00:41:18,409 --> 00:41:21,242
Is it reason enough to
implicate your wife and her lover
847
00:41:21,242 --> 00:41:23,246
in crimes that you committed?
You alone?
848
00:41:23,246 --> 00:41:24,804
I never killed those children.
849
00:41:24,804 --> 00:41:27,043
Oh, well,
you could only enslave them.
850
00:41:27,043 --> 00:41:29,484
Did you pay for Mr.
Armandariz's liquor license?
851
00:41:29,484 --> 00:41:31,282
Did you buy him a house?
852
00:41:32,423 --> 00:41:34,254
Only because Betty insisted.
853
00:41:34,254 --> 00:41:35,622
Is that why?
854
00:41:35,826 --> 00:41:38,919
Or were you buying his silence
to cover up your crimes?
855
00:41:40,029 --> 00:41:41,326
No, that's crazy.
856
00:41:41,326 --> 00:41:44,389
Tell us, Mr. Drake,
why should we believe
857
00:41:44,601 --> 00:41:47,434
that Mr. Armandariz
killed those children?
858
00:41:48,638 --> 00:41:50,765
Why shouldn't we believe
you did it?
859
00:41:54,944 --> 00:41:56,309
It's not a good theory?
860
00:41:56,309 --> 00:41:58,472
If I was on that jury,
I'd believe Meadow.
861
00:41:58,472 --> 00:42:00,345
So he bought him a house.
Come on.
862
00:42:00,345 --> 00:42:02,179
They know Ellis Drake
was terrified.
863
00:42:02,179 --> 00:42:04,277
They also know he got a deal.
864
00:42:04,277 --> 00:42:07,083
You want to take another run
at Armandariz's wife?
865
00:42:07,589 --> 00:42:09,648
She's more afraid of him
than us.
866
00:42:09,648 --> 00:42:11,920
Who's she more afraid of
than him?
867
00:42:11,920 --> 00:42:13,894
You see her grandmother
in court today?
868
00:42:13,894 --> 00:42:15,623
If my grandmother
had a look like that,
869
00:42:15,623 --> 00:42:17,358
she could fry eggs with it.
870
00:42:17,358 --> 00:42:19,662
Maybe she's not afraid
of anybody.
871
00:42:21,069 --> 00:42:24,937
I tried, believe me,
but Lina is afraid.
872
00:42:26,074 --> 00:42:28,042
I know she was wrong, too.
873
00:42:28,811 --> 00:42:30,506
What could she do?
874
00:42:30,711 --> 00:42:33,441
Do you know if the Drakes
or Mr. Armandariz
875
00:42:33,441 --> 00:42:34,981
own any other property?
876
00:42:35,783 --> 00:42:38,411
A nightclub,
maybe somewhere else.
877
00:42:38,411 --> 00:42:39,475
I don't know.
878
00:42:39,475 --> 00:42:41,681
The other people
who worked at the sweatshop,
879
00:42:41,681 --> 00:42:44,156
if your granddaughter
could tell us what happened.
880
00:42:44,156 --> 00:42:45,954
Not Lina, not now.
881
00:42:47,662 --> 00:42:49,789
If I never said marry him...
882
00:42:51,265 --> 00:42:53,256
He pretends to love her.
883
00:42:53,568 --> 00:42:54,967
He called me.
884
00:42:55,703 --> 00:42:58,535
Told me to come be with her.
885
00:43:00,040 --> 00:43:02,338
But she can't live
in that house now.
886
00:43:03,043 --> 00:43:05,011
I'll take her to my place.
887
00:43:07,380 --> 00:43:11,316
Mrs. Andon, where did you say
you're planning to take Lina?
888
00:43:12,018 --> 00:43:13,883
To my house in Brooklyn.
889
00:43:14,421 --> 00:43:16,116
You have a house in Brooklyn?
890
00:43:16,116 --> 00:43:19,352
When did Mr. Armandariz
ask you to take care of her?
891
00:43:20,293 --> 00:43:22,692
After the police
came to the club.
892
00:43:22,692 --> 00:43:25,559
He asked you to leave your
house and go to Jersey?
893
00:43:26,432 --> 00:43:28,798
He sent a boy
from the pool hall
894
00:43:28,798 --> 00:43:31,496
to cut the grass,
get the mail, he said.
895
00:43:33,739 --> 00:43:35,639
Call Cerreta and Logan.
896
00:43:38,477 --> 00:43:40,240
He wanted my house.
897
00:44:02,500 --> 00:44:03,626
There's two of 'em.
898
00:44:03,626 --> 00:44:05,100
More underneath.
899
00:44:22,019 --> 00:44:24,783
I'll re-indict. We'll add
seven counts of murder two.
900
00:44:24,783 --> 00:44:27,289
Bodies are at
the mother-in-law's house.
901
00:44:27,289 --> 00:44:30,349
You had circumstantial,
you have more circumstantial.
902
00:44:30,349 --> 00:44:32,588
Seven bodies?
That's a lot of circumstance.
903
00:44:32,588 --> 00:44:34,290
Ellis Drake is already guilty.
904
00:44:34,290 --> 00:44:36,093
They could throw it all on him.
905
00:44:39,236 --> 00:44:42,534
Yes. We're discussing it now.
906
00:44:44,540 --> 00:44:46,098
I'll get back to you.
907
00:44:47,977 --> 00:44:50,036
Brooklyn D.A. Wants the case.
908
00:44:50,513 --> 00:44:52,242
The crime started in Manattan.
909
00:44:52,242 --> 00:44:54,545
The bodies were found
in Brooklyn.
910
00:44:55,084 --> 00:44:57,177
Their case is
no stronger than ours.
911
00:44:57,177 --> 00:44:59,346
Thank you. I was about
to say that myself.
912
00:44:59,346 --> 00:45:00,446
We could lose it all.
913
00:45:00,446 --> 00:45:03,253
Make a deal with Rudy
and the wife.
914
00:45:04,360 --> 00:45:07,157
Bluff 'em, I don't care how.
Make a deal.
915
00:45:16,204 --> 00:45:18,331
My client is receptive.
916
00:45:18,873 --> 00:45:21,774
Mine's willing,
with the right circumstances.
917
00:45:21,774 --> 00:45:24,311
Both of your clients
face 10 counts.
918
00:45:24,311 --> 00:45:26,870
Ten times 25, that's 250 years.
919
00:45:26,870 --> 00:45:28,609
We'll take one count,
murder two.
920
00:45:28,609 --> 00:45:29,980
They both do 25.
921
00:45:29,980 --> 00:45:33,144
Or we show the pictures
of the backyard to the jury.
922
00:45:33,721 --> 00:45:37,282
I don't think they'll believe
Ellis Drake did that all by himself.
923
00:45:37,758 --> 00:45:39,919
You'll never prove
my client dug that grave.
924
00:45:39,919 --> 00:45:41,256
Or mine.
925
00:45:41,462 --> 00:45:44,659
With Lina's grandmother on
the stand, I'll take my chance.
926
00:45:52,873 --> 00:45:55,000
You'll have
the plea papers today.
927
00:45:58,678 --> 00:46:01,010
Cons don't like people
who do kids.
928
00:46:01,010 --> 00:46:02,980
Rudy may not live
to get parole.
929
00:46:02,980 --> 00:46:04,744
I think he'll manage.
930
00:46:04,744 --> 00:46:06,409
Bar Association dinner
next month.
931
00:46:06,409 --> 00:46:07,680
Adam's getting an award.
932
00:46:07,680 --> 00:46:09,449
I bought a new tuxedo.
933
00:46:10,423 --> 00:46:12,584
I have to wonder who made it.
