1
00:00:01,256 --> 00:00:03,019
In the criminal
justice system,
2
00:00:03,019 --> 00:00:06,891
the people are represented by two
separate yet equally important groups:
3
00:00:06,891 --> 00:00:08,826
The police
who investigate crime,
4
00:00:08,826 --> 00:00:11,662
and the district attorneys
who prosecute the offenders.
5
00:00:11,662 --> 00:00:13,395
These are their stories.
6
00:00:17,440 --> 00:00:20,102
We'd like to help,
but you have to help, too.
7
00:00:20,477 --> 00:00:22,604
You want evidence?
You're the cops.
8
00:00:22,604 --> 00:00:24,872
Do we gotta get our own guns?
9
00:00:25,548 --> 00:00:26,742
They're dealing crack,
10
00:00:26,742 --> 00:00:28,910
they've been dealing,
they gonna deal tomorrow.
11
00:00:28,910 --> 00:00:30,010
You don't clean them out,
12
00:00:30,010 --> 00:00:31,816
ain't gonna be nobody
left to complain.
13
00:00:31,816 --> 00:00:33,720
We had surveillance
on the building, ma'am.
14
00:00:33,720 --> 00:00:36,316
We can't go busting in to
apartments without probable cause.
15
00:00:39,163 --> 00:00:40,687
Where you get
your drugs, sucker?
16
00:00:40,687 --> 00:00:42,197
Ain't nobody home.
17
00:00:42,197 --> 00:00:44,927
Yeah, inside you. Where?
18
00:00:44,927 --> 00:00:47,231
1- D, in the front.
19
00:00:49,174 --> 00:00:50,971
Is he probable cause?
20
00:00:55,447 --> 00:00:56,675
Police!
21
00:01:01,553 --> 00:01:02,850
How's your shoulder?
22
00:01:03,221 --> 00:01:03,721
Dd
23
00:01:34,388 --> 00:01:35,719
O'Brien!
24
00:01:49,003 --> 00:01:50,903
Somebody heard that shot.
25
00:01:50,903 --> 00:01:52,439
No, not in this building.
26
00:01:52,439 --> 00:01:55,408
They get under the bed, hope
nothing comes through the window.
27
00:01:55,408 --> 00:01:56,738
Look, they don't want trouble.
28
00:01:56,738 --> 00:01:58,540
Enough trouble
to get rid of dealers.
29
00:01:58,540 --> 00:02:01,014
Now, look, O'Brien,
knock on every door.
30
00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:07,611
Drug dealers have
terrible manners.
31
00:02:08,090 --> 00:02:10,854
Yeah, they're not big
on charm school.
32
00:02:11,493 --> 00:02:13,654
She get those bruises
when she fell?
33
00:02:13,654 --> 00:02:16,721
Not unless somebody threw
her down and jumped on her.
34
00:02:17,266 --> 00:02:19,292
I'd guess 36 hours.
35
00:02:19,292 --> 00:02:20,801
First the foreplay,
36
00:02:20,801 --> 00:02:23,771
smacked her in the face,
couple of belts to the arm.
37
00:02:25,008 --> 00:02:26,839
Then he shoots her
in the chest.
38
00:02:27,110 --> 00:02:28,304
From the looks of her,
39
00:02:28,304 --> 00:02:31,040
I'd say she's done
more drugs than food.
40
00:02:31,748 --> 00:02:34,911
A.45. Confident guy.
Only one shot.
41
00:02:35,485 --> 00:02:36,645
Dried blood.
42
00:02:36,645 --> 00:02:38,948
She must have moved around
after she was hit.
43
00:02:38,948 --> 00:02:40,183
Where'd you find the shell?
44
00:02:40,183 --> 00:02:41,383
Bedroom.
45
00:02:42,259 --> 00:02:44,454
Well, she's in there,
there's no blood in between.
46
00:02:44,454 --> 00:02:46,655
She stumble around
and not lose a drop?
47
00:02:47,632 --> 00:02:49,327
Oh, well, maybe
this blood isn't hers.
48
00:02:49,327 --> 00:02:50,958
You get two gold stars.
49
00:02:53,070 --> 00:02:54,970
Drug deal gone bad.
50
00:02:55,473 --> 00:02:57,567
How many drug addicts
in this city?
51
00:02:57,567 --> 00:02:59,440
Do I take the quiz after class?
52
00:02:59,745 --> 00:03:01,906
Six hundred thousand,
give or take a few.
53
00:03:01,906 --> 00:03:03,777
How many of them
are high school heroes?
54
00:03:03,777 --> 00:03:05,578
The dead girl.
55
00:03:06,018 --> 00:03:07,417
"Dawn Bryan.
56
00:03:07,417 --> 00:03:10,922
Adam Clayton Powell
High School, class of '83."
57
00:03:10,922 --> 00:03:12,889
"Most likely to succeed."
58
00:04:37,681 --> 00:04:39,706
The place was fine
till she moved in.
59
00:04:39,706 --> 00:04:41,648
Uh-huh.
Park Avenue.
60
00:04:41,885 --> 00:04:43,944
I wasrt stepping on needles.
61
00:04:44,154 --> 00:04:45,246
She moved in,
62
00:04:45,246 --> 00:04:47,450
she didn't look too good,
but she had nice stuff.
63
00:04:47,450 --> 00:04:48,492
That rug?
64
00:04:48,492 --> 00:04:51,585
Said she went the whole way
to Brooklyn, got it at Sears.
65
00:04:51,585 --> 00:04:53,960
If she had nice stuff
it's hard to see it now.
66
00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:56,124
Sold it on the street
couple of weeks ago.
67
00:04:56,124 --> 00:04:58,100
Raising cash for her boyfriend.
68
00:04:58,503 --> 00:05:00,937
She gets him five,
six months ago,
69
00:05:00,937 --> 00:05:03,371
lets him deal
out of her apartment.
70
00:05:03,371 --> 00:05:05,137
Scum was here yesterday,
about 6:00.
71
00:05:05,137 --> 00:05:06,837
Bet she owed him money.
72
00:05:06,837 --> 00:05:08,913
You see him?
You know his name?
73
00:05:08,913 --> 00:05:10,175
Don't know I'd recognize him.
74
00:05:10,175 --> 00:05:11,341
Me neither.
75
00:05:14,119 --> 00:05:15,450
You call her family?
76
00:05:15,450 --> 00:05:16,647
Not yet.
77
00:05:16,647 --> 00:05:18,690
Uptown, 83rd.
78
00:05:18,690 --> 00:05:20,122
Her mom used to bring her food.
79
00:05:20,122 --> 00:05:21,489
She wouldn't eat.
80
00:05:22,361 --> 00:05:23,386
Thanks.
81
00:05:26,499 --> 00:05:28,467
We don't know
about her friends.
82
00:05:29,235 --> 00:05:31,226
We... we didn't
see her much.
83
00:05:31,938 --> 00:05:33,428
She liked people.
84
00:05:34,941 --> 00:05:37,068
She trusted everybody.
85
00:05:39,846 --> 00:05:41,371
She had a good heart.
86
00:05:43,551 --> 00:05:46,748
Ma'am, your daughter's
neighbors said you visited her.
87
00:05:47,288 --> 00:05:49,688
She mention being
involved with anybody?
88
00:05:50,391 --> 00:05:52,256
I believe in Heaven.
89
00:05:53,994 --> 00:05:55,256
I mean,
90
00:05:56,530 --> 00:05:57,827
I try to.
91
00:05:59,935 --> 00:06:01,994
I believe she's with God.
92
00:06:04,406 --> 00:06:05,498
I want to believe it.
93
00:06:05,498 --> 00:06:06,632
Ginna.
94
00:06:07,275 --> 00:06:09,004
Come on, lie down.
95
00:06:19,889 --> 00:06:22,722
To my mother, Dawn will
always be queen of the prom.
96
00:06:22,925 --> 00:06:25,416
Well, you don't sound
quite so admiring.
97
00:06:25,628 --> 00:06:27,960
I was there.
Christmas.
98
00:06:28,598 --> 00:06:30,225
Tried to get her into rehab.
99
00:06:30,733 --> 00:06:32,098
Offered to pay for it.
100
00:06:32,902 --> 00:06:36,031
Next day she hits
on my mom. $500.
101
00:06:37,474 --> 00:06:39,533
She stole
my mom's wedding ring.
102
00:06:40,143 --> 00:06:42,168
This boyfriend of hers.
103
00:06:42,168 --> 00:06:45,043
Uh, it wasrt, uh,
wasrt about romance?
104
00:06:45,043 --> 00:06:46,480
She said he was clean.
105
00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:48,108
Wouldrt introduce me.
106
00:06:48,108 --> 00:06:50,881
And I was hopir that, you
know, maybe he was married,
107
00:06:50,881 --> 00:06:52,819
and she was just embarrassed.
108
00:06:53,423 --> 00:06:54,857
That wasrt the reason.
109
00:06:55,226 --> 00:06:57,490
I saw him comir
out of Dawrs place.
110
00:06:57,490 --> 00:06:58,756
Twice.
111
00:06:59,597 --> 00:07:01,462
She called him Skate.
112
00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:04,327
I never got his real name.
113
00:07:05,370 --> 00:07:06,632
Skate?
114
00:07:07,272 --> 00:07:09,433
That's all you got?
Some guy's street name?
115
00:07:09,433 --> 00:07:11,065
Listen, do I look
like a magician?
116
00:07:11,065 --> 00:07:12,735
I'll just pull his name
out of my ear?
117
00:07:12,735 --> 00:07:15,041
Excuse me, Mike,
I didn't shoot the girl.
118
00:07:16,582 --> 00:07:18,049
I don't know.
119
00:07:18,049 --> 00:07:20,312
You know, you see these
crackheads on the street,
120
00:07:20,312 --> 00:07:22,911
you just tend to forget
that they werert always...
121
00:07:23,422 --> 00:07:25,049
This girl is...
122
00:07:26,525 --> 00:07:29,494
Anyway, look, I called the 19,
I called the 31.
123
00:07:29,494 --> 00:07:32,793
They got Slinky, they got Silky,
they got Sidewise, they got no Skate.
124
00:07:32,793 --> 00:07:35,858
Our books, we got Slap, we got
Slider, we got Snowball. No Skate.
125
00:07:35,858 --> 00:07:38,029
Our luck, good thing
we're not at the trotters.
126
00:07:38,029 --> 00:07:39,401
We'd be losing
our cojones.
127
00:07:39,401 --> 00:07:42,032
There's no usable prints in
the place other than hers.
128
00:07:42,032 --> 00:07:45,134
Now, six outgoing phone calls
in the last five days
129
00:07:45,134 --> 00:07:46,508
before she was hit.
130
00:07:46,508 --> 00:07:48,911
Four for pizza,
two for movie times.
131
00:07:49,149 --> 00:07:51,084
Okay, so you got
a witness who says
132
00:07:51,084 --> 00:07:53,017
Skate was there
the night she was killed.
133
00:07:53,017 --> 00:07:55,487
You got another one says
he was her dealer.
134
00:07:55,487 --> 00:07:58,548
Why don't you make a sign:
"Skate," in big letters,
135
00:07:58,548 --> 00:08:00,991
walk up and down First Avenue,
see if anybody waves.
136
00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:08,892
Guy in the red hat?
Angel Suarez.
137
00:08:08,892 --> 00:08:10,905
Used to be my pipeline.
138
00:08:11,173 --> 00:08:13,573
Let's turn on the water,
see what flows out.
139
00:08:13,573 --> 00:08:14,802
He won't take money.
140
00:08:14,802 --> 00:08:16,707
Wants his nose powdered.
141
00:08:17,212 --> 00:08:19,112
You gonna hold the straw?
142
00:08:20,115 --> 00:08:21,605
Crack house.
143
00:08:22,050 --> 00:08:23,745
Come on, let's take a run.
144
00:08:34,630 --> 00:08:37,463
Don't rattle your chain.
We're just visiting.
145
00:08:45,275 --> 00:08:46,606
Angel, my man.
146
00:08:46,606 --> 00:08:48,770
Hey, man, you gonna fix me up?
147
00:08:48,770 --> 00:08:50,609
Come here,
we want to ask you something.
148
00:08:50,609 --> 00:08:52,774
What's up?
You gonna fix me up?
149
00:08:53,650 --> 00:08:55,208
We're looking for my cousin.
150
00:08:55,208 --> 00:08:56,910
His name is Skate.
151
00:08:56,910 --> 00:08:58,544
He your cousin, brother?
152
00:08:58,544 --> 00:09:00,954
Your people been sleeping
in strange beds.
153
00:09:00,954 --> 00:09:02,549
You got stuff?
Maybe I heard of him.
154
00:09:02,549 --> 00:09:03,855
No, no stuff.
155
00:09:03,855 --> 00:09:06,192
No stuff, no cousin.
156
00:09:07,198 --> 00:09:08,290
You gonna take me in?
157
00:09:08,290 --> 00:09:09,628
Ain't gonna help you find him.
158
00:09:09,628 --> 00:09:11,828
You're playing the wrong game,
brother-man.
159
00:09:11,828 --> 00:09:13,530
Lennie, line 'em up.
160
00:09:13,772 --> 00:09:15,433
I'm gonna turn around.
161
00:09:15,433 --> 00:09:18,635
Here's what I'm gonna say:
Everybody goes in but you.
162
00:09:18,635 --> 00:09:20,541
Every time you're around,
we bust them.
163
00:09:20,541 --> 00:09:22,274
Then you get
your stuff from nobody.
164
00:09:22,274 --> 00:09:24,009
My ass.
You can't pull that.
165
00:09:24,009 --> 00:09:25,845
What, are you joking?
Your ass!
166
00:09:27,186 --> 00:09:29,086
Tell me about Skate.
167
00:09:29,955 --> 00:09:31,650
You don't believe me?
168
00:09:31,650 --> 00:09:33,816
Everybody, call Legal Aid,
169
00:09:33,816 --> 00:09:36,123
tell them to meet you
down at Central Booking.
170
00:09:36,123 --> 00:09:37,957
Everybody goes in.
171
00:09:38,464 --> 00:09:39,796
Everybody but Angel.
172
00:09:39,796 --> 00:09:41,834
He takes a walk
to testify against you.
173
00:09:41,834 --> 00:09:43,699
Hey, man. Easy.
174
00:09:44,004 --> 00:09:45,198
Relax.
175
00:09:51,445 --> 00:09:53,037
Name's Jonas Stark.
176
00:09:55,048 --> 00:09:57,573
Skate took somebody down
for a stash.
177
00:09:57,573 --> 00:10:00,212
He owes plenty.
He's scared.
178
00:10:01,289 --> 00:10:03,257
He's wearir eyes on his shoes.
179
00:10:03,257 --> 00:10:05,587
You won't find him
at his place.
180
00:10:05,587 --> 00:10:07,855
Try 1868 Lex.
181
00:10:08,296 --> 00:10:10,457
Name on the mailbox:
Keisha White.
182
00:10:12,366 --> 00:10:13,856
It's the girlfriend's place.
183
00:10:13,856 --> 00:10:15,835
I ain't seen the guy
in a couple of days.
184
00:10:15,835 --> 00:10:17,599
Maybe he's out of
town on vacation.
185
00:10:17,599 --> 00:10:19,334
Yeah, a weekend in the Bahamas.
186
00:10:19,334 --> 00:10:21,308
So, what about the girlfriend?
187
00:10:21,643 --> 00:10:22,974
Two, three days ago,
188
00:10:22,974 --> 00:10:24,740
I seen her go in there
with a six-pack.
189
00:10:24,740 --> 00:10:25,973
There's no answer here.
190
00:10:25,973 --> 00:10:28,073
I'm gonna have to call
someone to smash it in.
191
00:10:28,073 --> 00:10:30,482
Hey, you... you guys tell me
it's okay, I open it up.
192
00:10:30,482 --> 00:10:32,679
Yeah, it's called
exigent circumstances.
193
00:10:32,679 --> 00:10:34,790
A felon in flight.
Go ahead, open it.
194
00:10:42,765 --> 00:10:43,265
Dd
195
00:10:56,580 --> 00:10:57,330
22.
196
00:10:59,783 --> 00:11:01,307
What's happenir?
197
00:11:02,253 --> 00:11:04,084
What's goir on?
198
00:11:04,555 --> 00:11:05,988
You all cops or somethir?
199
00:11:05,988 --> 00:11:09,651
No. We're here to tell you
that you won the lottery.
200
00:11:10,728 --> 00:11:12,026
Is that Skate?
201
00:11:12,597 --> 00:11:14,064
Yeah, uh-huh.
202
00:11:14,966 --> 00:11:17,799
Hello, Skate.
Friend of yours sent us.
203
00:11:17,799 --> 00:11:19,427
Lady named Dawn.
204
00:11:19,427 --> 00:11:21,802
Only dawn I know
is before sunrise.
205
00:11:23,542 --> 00:11:25,339
You gotta have
a warrant to be in here.
206
00:11:25,339 --> 00:11:26,604
Warrant this!
207
00:11:26,604 --> 00:11:28,976
Where's your appointment book
for Tuesday night?
208
00:11:28,976 --> 00:11:31,141
You ain't gonna find
no drugs here.
209
00:11:31,141 --> 00:11:33,185
Uh-huh. How about
we pump your belly?
210
00:11:33,185 --> 00:11:34,378
Tuesday, Skate.
211
00:11:34,378 --> 00:11:35,953
Tell him, Keisha.
212
00:11:35,953 --> 00:11:38,252
Uh, we been here since July.
213
00:11:42,128 --> 00:11:44,323
I'll bet you lost
the permit to this gun.
214
00:11:44,323 --> 00:11:46,365
I bet you find it in my wallet.
215
00:11:46,365 --> 00:11:49,527
Registered State of New York,
target permit.
216
00:11:50,003 --> 00:11:51,368
Oh, yeah?
217
00:11:51,672 --> 00:11:53,640
How about a bigger
caliber gun, Jonas?
218
00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:54,969
Like a. 45?
219
00:11:54,969 --> 00:11:57,476
I handle business, not guns.
220
00:11:57,476 --> 00:12:00,135
That's a bad-lookir cut
you got there.
221
00:12:01,548 --> 00:12:03,379
Forgot to pray yesterday.
222
00:12:03,379 --> 00:12:05,075
The good Lord, he made me slip,
223
00:12:05,075 --> 00:12:06,552
hit the radiator.
224
00:12:06,854 --> 00:12:08,515
I got to get to church more.
225
00:12:08,515 --> 00:12:11,318
You hit Dawrs table while
you were slappir her around,
226
00:12:11,318 --> 00:12:13,121
and then you put
a bullet in her chest.
227
00:12:13,121 --> 00:12:15,424
I ain't seen Dawn for weeks.
228
00:12:15,830 --> 00:12:17,889
You said you never
even heard of her.
229
00:12:17,889 --> 00:12:19,092
Jonas Stark,
230
00:12:19,092 --> 00:12:21,600
you're under arrest
for the murder of Dawn Bryan.
231
00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:23,261
You have the right
to remain silent.
232
00:12:24,873 --> 00:12:26,898
What, you want to leave him
at Central Booking?
233
00:12:26,898 --> 00:12:28,102
I don't want him arraigned
234
00:12:28,102 --> 00:12:30,270
till your witnesses shine
headlights in his face.
235
00:12:30,270 --> 00:12:32,109
Terrific, send it on over.
236
00:12:32,109 --> 00:12:33,476
Here's a headlight.
237
00:12:33,476 --> 00:12:36,210
A year ago, that liquor store
robbery on Skate's yellow sheet.
238
00:12:36,210 --> 00:12:38,412
Yeah, he did six months.
Accessory.
239
00:12:38,412 --> 00:12:40,045
They dug a slug
out of the wall.
240
00:12:40,045 --> 00:12:41,919
Same gun.
He used it before.
241
00:12:41,919 --> 00:12:43,186
The slug from the robbery
242
00:12:43,186 --> 00:12:45,558
matches the slug
from Dawn Bryars body.
243
00:12:45,558 --> 00:12:47,893
One: You don't have the. 45.
244
00:12:47,893 --> 00:12:50,626
Two: There was a woman involved
in that robbery they never found.
245
00:12:50,626 --> 00:12:52,691
Three: A lawyer with
shoe polish for brains says
246
00:12:52,691 --> 00:12:54,430
that woman was Dawn Bryan,
247
00:12:54,430 --> 00:12:55,971
the gun was hers, not Skate's.
248
00:12:55,971 --> 00:12:59,270
Ipso, ergo, and therefore,
Skate takes a walk.
249
00:12:59,643 --> 00:13:01,942
Where did he ditch
that damn gun?
250
00:13:03,247 --> 00:13:04,475
You wanna keep him?
251
00:13:04,475 --> 00:13:06,914
Get your witnesses,
march them past the glass.
252
00:13:06,914 --> 00:13:08,611
Identify him as her dealer.
253
00:13:08,611 --> 00:13:10,483
Put him there
the day it happened.
254
00:13:12,156 --> 00:13:15,125
I didn't see him that day.
It was a couple of weeks ago.
255
00:13:15,125 --> 00:13:16,386
That's okay.
256
00:13:16,386 --> 00:13:18,223
Do you remember
seeing any of these men
257
00:13:18,223 --> 00:13:19,992
come out of Dawn Bryars
apartment?
258
00:13:19,992 --> 00:13:22,499
I think maybe Number 2.
259
00:13:26,571 --> 00:13:28,436
Number 2, step forward.
260
00:13:31,677 --> 00:13:33,201
There's no hurry, Miss Lee.
261
00:13:33,201 --> 00:13:34,575
We have till Kingdom come.
262
00:13:34,575 --> 00:13:35,806
Detective.
263
00:13:37,082 --> 00:13:38,209
Yeah?
264
00:13:38,209 --> 00:13:40,844
You are dangerously close
to coaching her.
265
00:13:40,844 --> 00:13:42,854
Once more and
this line-up is dead.
266
00:13:42,854 --> 00:13:44,856
Could be Number 3.
267
00:13:45,792 --> 00:13:48,022
Number 3, step forward.
268
00:13:50,563 --> 00:13:52,793
I saw him around in the hall.
269
00:13:52,793 --> 00:13:56,333
He was the one.
He sold her drugs.
270
00:13:56,570 --> 00:13:57,798
Thank you, Miss Lee.
271
00:13:57,798 --> 00:13:59,463
Here, let me show you out.
272
00:14:00,507 --> 00:14:02,338
That doesn't even
open up the store,
273
00:14:02,338 --> 00:14:03,774
let alone give you a sale.
274
00:14:03,774 --> 00:14:06,540
You can't put him there
at the time of the murder.
275
00:14:07,214 --> 00:14:10,547
Counselor, we have one more
dance on our card. A waltz.
276
00:14:10,547 --> 00:14:13,643
And your client's gonna
be doir it in Dannemora.
277
00:14:14,756 --> 00:14:16,383
Ain't none of them.
278
00:14:16,383 --> 00:14:18,221
Miss Gomez,
you barely even looked.
279
00:14:18,221 --> 00:14:19,954
You wanna just take your time?
280
00:14:20,995 --> 00:14:23,429
I don't see him.
I got bad eyes.
281
00:14:24,432 --> 00:14:26,662
I'm late for the dentist.
Can I go now?
282
00:14:26,662 --> 00:14:28,794
Yeah. Next time you wanna
get rid of dealers,
283
00:14:28,794 --> 00:14:30,770
call the Fire Department.
Go ahead.
284
00:14:31,639 --> 00:14:33,471
No weapon,
no witness, no motive,
285
00:14:33,471 --> 00:14:35,339
and my client has an alibi.
286
00:14:35,339 --> 00:14:36,708
Yeah, a girl so stoned
287
00:14:36,708 --> 00:14:39,441
she thinks the day
is 240 hours long.
288
00:14:39,441 --> 00:14:41,710
You know that waltz
my client is gonna do?
289
00:14:41,710 --> 00:14:43,775
It dances him out of here.
290
00:14:44,887 --> 00:14:46,013
Now.
291
00:14:50,493 --> 00:14:51,791
Jonas Stark.
292
00:14:54,431 --> 00:14:56,331
That room needs a paint job.
293
00:14:56,633 --> 00:14:57,827
You need a better suit.
294
00:14:57,827 --> 00:15:00,597
And your coffee stinks,
praise the Lord.
295
00:15:10,648 --> 00:15:12,411
The son of a bitch
knew he'd walk.
296
00:15:12,411 --> 00:15:14,576
We'll stake him out.
Round the clock.
297
00:15:14,576 --> 00:15:16,745
Meantime, we have no witness.
298
00:15:16,745 --> 00:15:18,584
Do we have a motive?
299
00:15:18,584 --> 00:15:20,179
A crack dealer needs a motive?
300
00:15:20,179 --> 00:15:21,849
Maybe he's so crazy
behind the drugs,
301
00:15:21,849 --> 00:15:23,484
he kills her
just for the hell of it.
302
00:15:23,484 --> 00:15:25,961
Yeah, maybe a jury would
like something more specific.
303
00:15:25,961 --> 00:15:28,761
Here.
Skate's file from Attica.
304
00:15:28,761 --> 00:15:31,667
Same blood type as on the
table in the girl's apartment.
305
00:15:31,667 --> 00:15:33,967
That at least gets us
to first base.
306
00:15:33,967 --> 00:15:36,303
Bottom of the ninth,
two outs, full count.
307
00:15:36,303 --> 00:15:39,435
The ME says she was beat up a couple
of hours before she was killed.
308
00:15:39,435 --> 00:15:41,672
Even if you put the kid
in the room to toss her,
309
00:15:41,672 --> 00:15:43,544
it doesn't prove
he pulled the trigger.
310
00:15:43,544 --> 00:15:46,413
Look, this girl backed away
from her family, right?
311
00:15:46,413 --> 00:15:48,977
She must have had some friends.
312
00:15:49,189 --> 00:15:51,817
She was in her second life
when time ran out.
313
00:15:51,817 --> 00:15:54,359
See if somebody from
the first one kept in touch.
314
00:15:56,262 --> 00:15:58,730
Her old friends?
Who cares?
315
00:15:58,730 --> 00:15:59,924
This is the guy who did it.
316
00:15:59,924 --> 00:16:01,057
Why isn't he in jail?
317
00:16:01,057 --> 00:16:02,192
Lucian...
318
00:16:02,192 --> 00:16:04,031
Or would it matter more
if she was white?
319
00:16:04,031 --> 00:16:06,834
Lucian,
they're doing their job.
320
00:16:07,041 --> 00:16:08,269
We don't have anything
321
00:16:08,269 --> 00:16:10,936
linking Jonas Stark
to your sister's murder.
322
00:16:10,936 --> 00:16:13,479
Now, we're hoping maybe you
know someone who can help us.
323
00:16:13,479 --> 00:16:16,414
I read in the papers it
was his gun that killed her.
324
00:16:16,414 --> 00:16:19,714
I read in the papers people are
abducted by extraterrestrials.
325
00:16:19,954 --> 00:16:22,184
Look, your mother's right.
We're doir our job.
326
00:16:22,184 --> 00:16:24,225
It was the money.
Had to be.
327
00:16:24,225 --> 00:16:25,953
She always needed more.
328
00:16:27,863 --> 00:16:31,629
It wasrt her stealir.
The drugs made her do it.
329
00:16:31,629 --> 00:16:32,689
Sure, Mom.
330
00:16:32,689 --> 00:16:34,962
It was the cocaine
that stole Janine's TV,
331
00:16:34,962 --> 00:16:36,264
not Dawn.
332
00:16:41,577 --> 00:16:43,568
There's a friend
from high school.
333
00:16:43,568 --> 00:16:45,113
I mean, most people
around Dawn,
334
00:16:45,113 --> 00:16:47,843
it was like rocks
falling from the sky.
335
00:16:48,518 --> 00:16:49,815
They ran.
336
00:16:50,119 --> 00:16:52,519
Janine was the only one left
who talked to her.
337
00:16:55,791 --> 00:16:56,291
Dd
338
00:16:58,094 --> 00:17:00,290
I worried about
getting C's in Algebra.
339
00:17:00,290 --> 00:17:03,561
Dawn studied
on the subway, got A's.
340
00:17:03,561 --> 00:17:05,499
How could anything bad happen?
341
00:17:05,702 --> 00:17:08,262
Well, things look a lot different
when you're in high school.
342
00:17:08,262 --> 00:17:09,999
When you're 17, you don't know.
343
00:17:09,999 --> 00:17:11,607
Well, you're not 17 anymore.
344
00:17:11,607 --> 00:17:13,939
There's not too many friends
who would stick by somebody
345
00:17:13,939 --> 00:17:15,308
who stole their TV set.
346
00:17:15,308 --> 00:17:17,279
Well, I had to believe
she'd come out of it.
347
00:17:17,279 --> 00:17:18,474
I even gave her a job.
348
00:17:18,474 --> 00:17:20,745
She was late a couple of times.
349
00:17:20,745 --> 00:17:23,286
Tape deck disappeared,
petty cash.
350
00:17:23,286 --> 00:17:25,254
Her brother said
you kept in touch.
351
00:17:26,190 --> 00:17:28,750
She stopped by two
or three months ago.
352
00:17:28,993 --> 00:17:30,483
Said she'd been robbed.
353
00:17:31,529 --> 00:17:32,621
They cleaned her out.
354
00:17:32,621 --> 00:17:35,063
She said she needed
money for food.
355
00:17:35,934 --> 00:17:38,130
Right. Food.
356
00:17:39,605 --> 00:17:41,300
She stood in the corner,
in the dark.
357
00:17:41,300 --> 00:17:43,034
Wouldrt let me get a good look.
358
00:17:43,034 --> 00:17:46,168
I went over, side of
her face was bashed in.
359
00:17:47,279 --> 00:17:48,644
I gave her $100,
360
00:17:48,644 --> 00:17:50,648
didn't think I'd ever
hear from her again.
361
00:17:50,648 --> 00:17:53,617
Yeah, you give them money
once, they tend to come back.
362
00:17:53,617 --> 00:17:56,747
Last week, I got a call
from the reception desk.
363
00:17:57,190 --> 00:17:58,487
I didn't even recognize her.
364
00:17:58,487 --> 00:17:59,991
She looked like a bag lady.
365
00:18:00,727 --> 00:18:02,354
She said her boyfriend
was in trouble.
366
00:18:02,354 --> 00:18:03,691
Skate.
367
00:18:03,897 --> 00:18:06,092
Said he owed somebody
and they'd kill him
368
00:18:06,092 --> 00:18:07,690
if he didn't come up
with the cash.
369
00:18:07,690 --> 00:18:09,962
And he'd kill her
if she didn't?
370
00:18:10,804 --> 00:18:12,863
I didn't think...
371
00:18:16,877 --> 00:18:18,742
Maybe they just
ought to legalize it.
372
00:18:18,742 --> 00:18:21,509
Oh, yeah. Another half
a million crackheads.
373
00:18:21,509 --> 00:18:23,573
You don't know that.
Would you take it?
374
00:18:23,573 --> 00:18:24,618
Would I?
375
00:18:24,618 --> 00:18:27,415
Listen, a junkie's gonna be a
junkie whether it's legal or not.
376
00:18:27,415 --> 00:18:29,217
So we should sell it
in the drug stores?
377
00:18:29,217 --> 00:18:30,314
Damn straight.
378
00:18:30,314 --> 00:18:33,156
No one puts a knife in
your gut to feed their habit.
379
00:18:33,495 --> 00:18:35,224
Any junkies in your family?
380
00:18:35,697 --> 00:18:37,358
Booze.
And if you made it illegal,
381
00:18:37,358 --> 00:18:39,059
they'd cook it up on the stove.
382
00:18:39,267 --> 00:18:41,497
Okay,
so write your congressman.
383
00:18:41,737 --> 00:18:44,228
Hey, hey, what about this?
384
00:18:44,606 --> 00:18:47,074
The first time we saw Skate,
his head was cut, right?
385
00:18:47,074 --> 00:18:48,666
Now, he was hidir
from somebody.
386
00:18:48,666 --> 00:18:49,972
He owed money.
387
00:18:49,972 --> 00:18:53,515
How about if they beat him up
in Dawn Bryars apartment?
388
00:18:54,784 --> 00:18:56,775
And the Bryan girl, too.
389
00:18:57,020 --> 00:18:58,920
So we find the guy
that was after Skate,
390
00:18:58,920 --> 00:19:00,012
maybe we get a witness.
391
00:19:00,012 --> 00:19:02,319
Or at least someone who can
put the two of them together.
392
00:19:02,319 --> 00:19:05,054
Yeah, the girl Skate was with
when we first picked him up.
393
00:19:05,054 --> 00:19:07,221
Maybe she knows
who he was runnir from.
394
00:19:09,700 --> 00:19:10,792
Keisha White.
395
00:19:10,792 --> 00:19:13,098
Works in a peepshow
on 45th Street.
396
00:19:14,371 --> 00:19:14,871
Dd
397
00:19:20,477 --> 00:19:21,774
My girls don't
get into trouble.
398
00:19:21,774 --> 00:19:23,312
Yeah, they're all nuns.
399
00:19:23,814 --> 00:19:25,645
Most of them, they got kids.
400
00:19:25,645 --> 00:19:27,649
Talking dirty's
just a way to eat.
401
00:19:28,386 --> 00:19:30,616
Go on, pick a door,
get excited.
402
00:19:30,616 --> 00:19:32,088
It's on the house.
403
00:19:32,088 --> 00:19:34,057
Which door is Keisha White?
404
00:19:34,559 --> 00:19:37,824
I got a Sally Brown
and a Mary Green.
405
00:19:38,063 --> 00:19:39,621
Ain't got no White.
406
00:19:39,621 --> 00:19:41,962
Hey, Mike, suppose
we find out one of his girls
407
00:19:41,962 --> 00:19:43,933
went out with one
of the guys here.
408
00:19:44,169 --> 00:19:45,569
Uh, what would he get?
409
00:19:45,569 --> 00:19:48,971
Well, promoting prostitution
three, that's a class "D" felony.
410
00:19:48,971 --> 00:19:50,565
Uh, couple of months
in the slammer,
411
00:19:50,565 --> 00:19:51,974
and we take all your assets.
412
00:19:51,974 --> 00:19:53,477
Okay, okay.
Booth D.
413
00:19:53,477 --> 00:19:55,377
Don't take up
too much of her time.
414
00:20:03,089 --> 00:20:06,389
Hey, your wife's
outside with the kids,
415
00:20:06,389 --> 00:20:07,722
you better drive her home.
416
00:20:07,722 --> 00:20:09,261
You, outside!
417
00:20:15,569 --> 00:20:17,503
Two lonely cops.
418
00:20:17,503 --> 00:20:20,506
You always get
your kicks together? Kinky.
419
00:20:20,506 --> 00:20:23,544
Hey, you can talk to us now,
or you can lose customers
420
00:20:23,544 --> 00:20:24,737
for the rest of the day.
421
00:20:24,737 --> 00:20:25,972
Skate was in trouble,
422
00:20:25,972 --> 00:20:27,844
he needed money
from the Bryan girl.
423
00:20:27,844 --> 00:20:29,678
Who did he need it for?
424
00:20:30,017 --> 00:20:31,609
Skate don't need no money.
425
00:20:31,609 --> 00:20:33,345
He print it up in the basement.
426
00:20:33,345 --> 00:20:36,083
Yeah? We can print
your name on a warrant.
427
00:20:36,083 --> 00:20:38,125
Accessory to murder.
428
00:20:38,459 --> 00:20:40,223
I don't know, all right?
429
00:20:40,223 --> 00:20:42,126
Skate say he needed some money,
430
00:20:42,126 --> 00:20:43,494
but he ain't say who.
431
00:20:43,494 --> 00:20:45,829
Yeah, well, they put
a dent in his forehead.
432
00:20:46,034 --> 00:20:48,093
That was that
Bryan girl's fault.
433
00:20:48,093 --> 00:20:50,161
Skate said the bitch
was scared, all right?
434
00:20:50,161 --> 00:20:52,230
They... they came
looking for him at her house.
435
00:20:52,230 --> 00:20:54,138
She gave him up,
told them he was coming.
436
00:20:54,138 --> 00:20:55,233
They beat them both.
437
00:20:55,233 --> 00:20:56,743
But he still needed the money.
438
00:20:56,743 --> 00:20:58,644
She said she'd square with him.
439
00:20:58,644 --> 00:21:00,580
All right, maybe
she never come through.
440
00:21:00,580 --> 00:21:02,174
That would make him angry.
441
00:21:02,174 --> 00:21:03,876
Angry enough to use a gun.
442
00:21:04,821 --> 00:21:07,619
Mister, Skate, he gave me stuff
443
00:21:07,619 --> 00:21:10,090
to spend time
with him, all right?
444
00:21:10,090 --> 00:21:11,923
I do not get personal.
445
00:21:13,797 --> 00:21:15,025
What do you mean, useless?
446
00:21:15,025 --> 00:21:17,090
You pick him up again,
you let him go again.
447
00:21:17,090 --> 00:21:19,260
Paul, you don't
need a road map.
448
00:21:19,260 --> 00:21:21,804
The Bryan dame set him up
to get his brains beat in.
449
00:21:21,804 --> 00:21:24,067
She didn't deliver on
some money she promised him.
450
00:21:24,067 --> 00:21:26,371
I call that a motive.
What do you call it?
451
00:21:26,371 --> 00:21:29,310
I call it a third-hand story
from two secondary sources.
452
00:21:29,310 --> 00:21:31,607
Not to mention
it doesn't nail Jonas Stark.
453
00:21:31,607 --> 00:21:33,683
I'd love to argue with him.
454
00:21:33,683 --> 00:21:36,983
Even if a jury believes your
junkie and a peepshow hostess,
455
00:21:36,983 --> 00:21:39,080
they're still gonna think
that whoever beat up
456
00:21:39,080 --> 00:21:41,182
Skate and Dawn just
finished the job up.
457
00:21:41,626 --> 00:21:43,924
Lennie, you expecting
a call from a plumber?
458
00:21:44,229 --> 00:21:45,696
First Ave.
And Third Street.
459
00:21:45,696 --> 00:21:48,130
Dawn Bryan apartment.
Says the place is flooded.
460
00:21:48,130 --> 00:21:49,497
Some woman gave him your name,
461
00:21:49,497 --> 00:21:51,763
he found something
you might wanna see.
462
00:21:53,371 --> 00:21:54,896
Look, it's not our fault.
463
00:21:54,896 --> 00:21:56,874
We covered every inch
of this place.
464
00:21:56,874 --> 00:21:58,376
So why didn't you
check the pipe?
465
00:21:58,376 --> 00:22:00,378
Who the hell
checks a sewer pipe?
466
00:22:01,848 --> 00:22:04,282
Neighbors are gonna need
air spray for a month.
467
00:22:04,282 --> 00:22:07,147
Sewage is soft, gets around
a lot of the junk in the pipe.
468
00:22:07,147 --> 00:22:10,280
Put in something big, sooner
or later it's gonna clog.
469
00:22:11,090 --> 00:22:13,116
I guess that's a. 45.
470
00:22:13,493 --> 00:22:14,926
Shouldrt have been left open.
471
00:22:16,163 --> 00:22:18,859
Wouldrt have spilled over,
just would have stopped.
472
00:22:19,900 --> 00:22:21,333
You had three guys here.
473
00:22:21,333 --> 00:22:23,426
What did they do
after we left, take a nap?
474
00:22:23,426 --> 00:22:25,232
I didn't notice
the pipe was open.
475
00:22:25,232 --> 00:22:26,932
Oh, you're telling me
it wasrt open?
476
00:22:26,932 --> 00:22:28,167
Maybe. I don't know.
477
00:22:28,167 --> 00:22:29,869
You know what I know?
There's a reason
478
00:22:29,869 --> 00:22:31,809
you got plastic gloves
in your budget.
479
00:22:31,809 --> 00:22:34,542
You just didn't want to stick
your hand in a sewer pipe.
480
00:22:34,916 --> 00:22:37,384
So, Lennie, you think
anybody's still in Forensics?
481
00:22:42,523 --> 00:22:43,717
Four days in raw sewage,
482
00:22:43,717 --> 00:22:46,760
if that gun has prints, I'll call
Sister Maria and make a contribution.
483
00:22:46,760 --> 00:22:48,295
Almost your lucky day.
484
00:22:48,295 --> 00:22:49,831
No prints, the number's burned.
485
00:22:49,831 --> 00:22:50,923
He said "almost."
486
00:22:50,923 --> 00:22:52,092
He said "no prints."
487
00:22:52,868 --> 00:22:54,267
On the gun.
488
00:22:54,937 --> 00:22:56,404
In the stock market?
489
00:22:56,404 --> 00:22:59,063
No, I keep my millions
in a trunk in the attic.
490
00:22:59,275 --> 00:23:01,266
I'd buy a company
called Cosmoline.
491
00:23:01,266 --> 00:23:02,970
They make a good product.
492
00:23:03,379 --> 00:23:05,244
Sewage wiped the gun clean.
493
00:23:05,244 --> 00:23:08,113
Well, not clean, but no prints.
494
00:23:08,113 --> 00:23:12,120
The clip. New, covered
in Cosmoline grease.
495
00:23:12,120 --> 00:23:14,156
Partial thumb, full index,
496
00:23:14,156 --> 00:23:16,124
matching the prints
they sent me.
497
00:23:16,124 --> 00:23:19,525
Jonas Stark, aka Skate.
498
00:23:19,525 --> 00:23:20,788
You're beautiful.
499
00:23:20,788 --> 00:23:22,331
Let's hope
they didn't lose him.
500
00:23:28,806 --> 00:23:31,502
Excuse me, can you tell me where
the George Washington Bridge is?
501
00:23:31,502 --> 00:23:32,803
It's in Connecticut.
502
00:23:33,311 --> 00:23:35,745
Southwest corner,
he's makir house calls.
503
00:23:35,745 --> 00:23:38,314
I figure he took in
$1,000 in the last hour.
504
00:24:06,579 --> 00:24:07,603
Skate!
505
00:24:07,603 --> 00:24:08,874
No drugs, no weapon.
506
00:24:08,874 --> 00:24:10,973
All right, keep your hands
away from your body.
507
00:24:10,973 --> 00:24:13,041
Again?
You got nothir!
508
00:24:13,041 --> 00:24:14,143
Your prints, genius.
509
00:24:14,143 --> 00:24:15,915
You left them on the gun clip.
510
00:24:17,090 --> 00:24:18,819
All right,
sing along with me, Skate.
511
00:24:18,819 --> 00:24:20,017
You know the words.
512
00:24:20,017 --> 00:24:21,152
You're under arrest.
513
00:24:21,152 --> 00:24:23,196
You have the right
to remain silent.
514
00:24:23,196 --> 00:24:25,231
Anything you do say
can and will be...
515
00:24:29,336 --> 00:24:30,166
We're ready.
516
00:24:30,166 --> 00:24:31,966
Someone gonna read this charge?
517
00:24:31,966 --> 00:24:33,131
Docket number...
518
00:24:33,131 --> 00:24:33,881
No.
519
00:24:35,376 --> 00:24:39,074
"Docket number 6864,
People v. Jonas Stark. "
520
00:24:39,074 --> 00:24:41,411
Charge is murder
in the second degree.
521
00:24:41,411 --> 00:24:44,145
Miss Bell,
does your client have a plea?
522
00:24:44,652 --> 00:24:46,085
Not guilty.
523
00:24:46,554 --> 00:24:48,181
Back on night shift, Sally.
524
00:24:48,181 --> 00:24:49,984
Legal Aid must be
understaffed again.
525
00:24:49,984 --> 00:24:51,719
Tell me about your client.
526
00:24:51,719 --> 00:24:54,090
Mr. Stark was a dear friend
of the victim.
527
00:24:54,090 --> 00:24:55,789
He's not likely to flee.
528
00:24:55,789 --> 00:24:58,231
Mr. Stark skipped bail
last time, robbery.
529
00:24:58,231 --> 00:24:59,824
This is homicide.
530
00:24:59,824 --> 00:25:02,234
He might want to
miss his trial.
531
00:25:02,234 --> 00:25:05,398
You have any other objections
to a substantial bail?
532
00:25:05,398 --> 00:25:07,601
Well, if Your Honor
has already decided...
533
00:25:07,601 --> 00:25:09,837
The Court's mind is open.
Mr. Robinette?
534
00:25:09,837 --> 00:25:11,106
As Your Honor notes,
535
00:25:11,106 --> 00:25:13,341
Mr. Stark's appearance record
is not encouraging.
536
00:25:13,341 --> 00:25:14,576
We ask $500,000.
537
00:25:14,576 --> 00:25:17,211
People's request
is granted. Next.
538
00:25:17,211 --> 00:25:18,754
My client is obstinate.
539
00:25:19,156 --> 00:25:20,316
Killers often are.
540
00:25:20,316 --> 00:25:21,617
He won't plead.
541
00:25:22,626 --> 00:25:24,253
This makes him
a two-time loser.
542
00:25:24,253 --> 00:25:25,794
Mandatory nine years.
543
00:25:25,794 --> 00:25:28,262
But that's a lot better than
a conviction and 25-to-life.
544
00:25:28,262 --> 00:25:30,458
He knows.
He says he didn't do it.
545
00:25:30,458 --> 00:25:32,195
I'm tempted to believe him.
546
00:25:32,195 --> 00:25:34,931
You have many faults, Sally.
Gullible isn't one of them.
547
00:25:34,931 --> 00:25:36,633
Motive. Weapon.
548
00:25:36,633 --> 00:25:38,641
A witness who'll tell
the truth on the stand.
549
00:25:38,641 --> 00:25:40,267
I reminded him.
He reminded me
550
00:25:40,267 --> 00:25:42,141
she didn't identify him
at the line-up.
551
00:25:42,141 --> 00:25:44,204
Did you remind him his prints
are on the gun clip?
552
00:25:44,204 --> 00:25:45,943
He says it was Dawn Bryars gun.
553
00:25:45,943 --> 00:25:47,644
He gave it to her
to protect herself.
554
00:25:47,644 --> 00:25:49,618
I guess it wasrt
protection enough.
555
00:25:49,618 --> 00:25:51,221
He has an alibi.
556
00:25:51,221 --> 00:25:53,224
You can shake her
till she's a martini,
557
00:25:53,224 --> 00:25:54,953
she won't change her mind.
558
00:25:56,962 --> 00:25:58,759
Who cares if he
doesn't want to plead?
559
00:25:58,759 --> 00:26:01,095
We got a case with balloons,
bells, and whistles.
560
00:26:01,095 --> 00:26:02,895
It makes no sense.
He goes to trial,
561
00:26:02,895 --> 00:26:04,902
we put a noose on
his neck, 25-to-life.
562
00:26:04,902 --> 00:26:06,494
Man one is nine years.
563
00:26:06,494 --> 00:26:08,199
He knows
it's a slam-dunk.
564
00:26:08,199 --> 00:26:09,831
Why doesn't he offer to plead?
565
00:26:09,831 --> 00:26:11,843
Because he's stupid, arrogant,
566
00:26:11,843 --> 00:26:13,946
suffers brain damage
from all those drugs.
567
00:26:13,946 --> 00:26:16,140
He pled to Robbery Three
a year ago.
568
00:26:16,140 --> 00:26:18,480
We had one witness, no weapon.
569
00:26:18,480 --> 00:26:20,212
A lousy case.
570
00:26:20,212 --> 00:26:22,049
He didn't want to risk a jury.
571
00:26:22,049 --> 00:26:23,612
And this time
he wants to risk it?
572
00:26:23,612 --> 00:26:25,089
Anyone else,
they'd plead faster
573
00:26:25,089 --> 00:26:26,523
than we can
speed-dial Rikers.
574
00:26:26,523 --> 00:26:28,458
Well, maybe
this Skate character
575
00:26:28,458 --> 00:26:30,224
thinks his alibi will save him.
576
00:26:30,464 --> 00:26:32,193
Or maybe he didn't do it.
577
00:26:32,433 --> 00:26:34,230
I only like
surprises at parties.
578
00:26:34,230 --> 00:26:36,201
Before we go to trial,
579
00:26:36,201 --> 00:26:38,670
walk through this
with the cops.
580
00:26:46,213 --> 00:26:48,079
Hope comes in small packages.
581
00:26:48,283 --> 00:26:51,252
Yeah? My parents never even
had that much hope for me.
582
00:26:51,252 --> 00:26:54,186
You save your stuff
from high school, Paul?
583
00:26:54,186 --> 00:26:56,554
My mother still has
my report cards.
584
00:26:59,094 --> 00:27:00,459
What's that?
585
00:27:02,464 --> 00:27:04,694
Trunk?
Jewelry box?
586
00:27:05,835 --> 00:27:08,895
Square notches.
Safe-deposit box.
587
00:27:09,605 --> 00:27:11,197
She's hittir
everybody for money.
588
00:27:11,197 --> 00:27:12,832
Why would she need one?
589
00:27:14,110 --> 00:27:18,103
"Broderick, Bronson,
Broom, Bryson."
590
00:27:18,347 --> 00:27:19,575
No Dawn Bryan?
591
00:27:19,575 --> 00:27:20,809
I'm afraid not.
592
00:27:21,050 --> 00:27:22,244
George,
593
00:27:24,188 --> 00:27:26,179
Box C-503.
594
00:27:26,557 --> 00:27:28,286
Oh, Mary Tillar, I know her.
595
00:27:28,286 --> 00:27:29,755
Been banking here for years.
596
00:27:29,755 --> 00:27:31,123
Lovely old woman.
597
00:27:31,123 --> 00:27:33,525
George, it says here
Mrs. Tillar was just in.
598
00:27:33,997 --> 00:27:35,692
Couple or three weeks ago.
599
00:27:35,692 --> 00:27:36,960
She had a lady with her,
600
00:27:36,960 --> 00:27:38,592
she said
it was her granddaughter.
601
00:27:38,592 --> 00:27:39,727
The girl needed help.
602
00:27:39,727 --> 00:27:41,430
From her grandmother?
From a doctor.
603
00:27:41,430 --> 00:27:43,167
That girl had been stomped on.
604
00:27:43,808 --> 00:27:46,470
I ask what happened,
Mrs. Tillar says car accident.
605
00:27:46,778 --> 00:27:49,269
Car with two fists
made out of brass.
606
00:27:49,681 --> 00:27:52,309
Did you pay attention to
everything, or just the lady?
607
00:27:52,309 --> 00:27:54,009
Mrs. Tillar
take anything with her?
608
00:27:54,009 --> 00:27:55,211
A big envelope.
609
00:27:55,211 --> 00:27:56,719
Not like she wanted to.
610
00:27:56,719 --> 00:27:59,621
I think she wanted to
be anyplace but here.
611
00:28:04,763 --> 00:28:07,960
Oh, no.
No, I didn't go for Dawn.
612
00:28:07,960 --> 00:28:10,330
She just walked me to the bank.
613
00:28:10,836 --> 00:28:13,498
You happened to be on the way
to your safe-deposit box?
614
00:28:13,498 --> 00:28:16,632
It's a habit. My late
husband got me into it.
615
00:28:16,632 --> 00:28:19,008
I sometimes just
check my papers.
616
00:28:19,312 --> 00:28:21,143
Assistant District Attorney.
617
00:28:21,143 --> 00:28:23,112
Your mother must be very proud.
618
00:28:24,017 --> 00:28:27,043
The people at the bank remember
you took something with you.
619
00:28:27,354 --> 00:28:28,912
My grandson Lucian,
620
00:28:28,912 --> 00:28:30,957
he's thinkir
he might be a lawyer.
621
00:28:32,225 --> 00:28:35,661
You told the clerk at the bank
Dawn had been in a car accident?
622
00:28:36,329 --> 00:28:37,661
Yes, I...
623
00:28:38,199 --> 00:28:41,191
I guess her problem caused it.
624
00:28:41,602 --> 00:28:43,695
What happened to that girl?
625
00:28:43,971 --> 00:28:46,599
Young people,
so many temptations.
626
00:28:46,941 --> 00:28:49,102
You can't keep 'em safe now.
627
00:28:50,578 --> 00:28:52,375
Dawn wanted money from you.
628
00:28:54,949 --> 00:28:58,442
My bonds.
American Light and Power.
629
00:28:58,854 --> 00:29:00,879
They're for my grandchildren.
630
00:29:02,457 --> 00:29:04,448
I use them for the income.
631
00:29:04,448 --> 00:29:06,584
My husband bought them.
632
00:29:08,263 --> 00:29:11,255
Mrs. Tillar,
what did Dawn tell you?
633
00:29:11,633 --> 00:29:13,828
Why did you go to the bank?
634
00:29:17,173 --> 00:29:18,765
She had a gun.
635
00:29:20,043 --> 00:29:21,874
She aimed it at me.
636
00:29:23,579 --> 00:29:25,410
I felt so bad for her.
637
00:29:27,550 --> 00:29:30,041
You expect guns
on the street now.
638
00:29:32,856 --> 00:29:34,551
My own grandbaby.
639
00:29:43,167 --> 00:29:44,896
Grandma, I'm sorry.
640
00:29:46,904 --> 00:29:49,304
Why are you
hassling my mother-in-law?
641
00:29:49,304 --> 00:29:52,070
You didn't tell us your daughter
was here the day she was killed.
642
00:29:52,070 --> 00:29:53,474
What difference does it make?
643
00:29:53,474 --> 00:29:54,739
We need to check everything.
644
00:29:54,739 --> 00:29:57,145
You don't got to
check anything.
645
00:29:57,145 --> 00:29:59,012
You know who killed my Dawn.
646
00:29:59,851 --> 00:30:01,512
You ought to be
putting him away
647
00:30:01,512 --> 00:30:03,315
for the rest of his life.
648
00:30:03,315 --> 00:30:06,482
Now, you get out of here
and leave this lady alone.
649
00:30:07,125 --> 00:30:08,990
She aimed the gun
at her grandmother.
650
00:30:08,990 --> 00:30:10,993
Stark was telling the truth.
651
00:30:10,993 --> 00:30:13,293
It was his gun,
but he gave it to Dawn Bryan.
652
00:30:13,293 --> 00:30:15,095
Okay, so she had a gun.
653
00:30:15,095 --> 00:30:16,828
Anyone could have
shot her with it.
654
00:30:16,828 --> 00:30:18,665
Only someone
who had access to it.
655
00:30:18,665 --> 00:30:21,832
Paul, are you takir a walk
or are you leadir somewhere?
656
00:30:22,475 --> 00:30:24,636
Why was Fred Bryan
so angry today?
657
00:30:24,636 --> 00:30:27,805
The Post reported it was Stark's
gun that killed Dawn Bryan.
658
00:30:28,014 --> 00:30:30,244
When the cops talked to
Lucian Bryan, he mentioned it.
659
00:30:30,244 --> 00:30:32,410
He wanted to know why
they couldn't put Stark away.
660
00:30:32,410 --> 00:30:34,249
I guess you're about to tell me
661
00:30:34,249 --> 00:30:35,913
how that gun
got into a sewer pipe.
662
00:30:35,913 --> 00:30:38,082
A theory.
For what it's won'th.
663
00:30:38,392 --> 00:30:41,623
CSU says maybe the pipe was
capped the day of the murder.
664
00:30:41,623 --> 00:30:43,959
Who'd have the tools
to open a closed pipe?
665
00:30:43,959 --> 00:30:46,760
And who'd know the pipe would
overflow if you put a gun in it?
666
00:30:46,760 --> 00:30:47,766
A plumber?
667
00:30:47,766 --> 00:30:49,234
A maintenance man.
668
00:30:49,234 --> 00:30:51,999
Fred Bryan has his own
maintenance business.
669
00:30:51,999 --> 00:30:54,564
He read in the papers
it was Stark's gun.
670
00:30:54,564 --> 00:30:56,371
Two days later,
the pipe overflows.
671
00:30:56,371 --> 00:30:59,004
Fred Bryan planted the gun
so the cops would find it.
672
00:30:59,004 --> 00:31:01,742
How did the gun get into
his hands in the first place?
673
00:31:06,922 --> 00:31:09,356
Let's hope
you're wrong about this.
674
00:31:10,492 --> 00:31:13,325
These people are being
canonized for their suffering.
675
00:31:13,325 --> 00:31:15,725
You're telling me
this man killed his daughter.
676
00:31:15,725 --> 00:31:18,460
I don't like the idea
any more than you do, Adam.
677
00:31:18,460 --> 00:31:22,196
Day of the murder,
Grandma called Mother at 2:07.
678
00:31:22,605 --> 00:31:24,197
After she went to the bank.
679
00:31:24,197 --> 00:31:26,538
An hour later, Mother called
the father at work.
680
00:31:26,538 --> 00:31:28,736
His secretary said
he left a few minutes later.
681
00:31:28,736 --> 00:31:30,336
That's no mystery.
682
00:31:30,336 --> 00:31:32,278
They rallied to get
Grandma's bonds.
683
00:31:32,278 --> 00:31:33,747
For good reason.
684
00:31:33,747 --> 00:31:35,785
Turns out the old lady
had bearer bonds.
685
00:31:35,785 --> 00:31:38,218
Untraceable,
negotiable instruments.
686
00:31:38,218 --> 00:31:40,085
A drug addict
and her dealer, Adam.
687
00:31:40,085 --> 00:31:42,819
They wouldn't know a negotiable
instrument from a piano.
688
00:31:42,819 --> 00:31:44,520
How are they gonna
sell those bonds?
689
00:31:44,520 --> 00:31:46,620
That's right. Anything
happens to those bonds,
690
00:31:46,620 --> 00:31:48,892
they can't be replaced.
No name, no record.
691
00:31:49,266 --> 00:31:51,063
Grandma's money
is gone forever.
692
00:31:51,063 --> 00:31:53,763
How far would the Bryans
go to get it back?
693
00:31:53,763 --> 00:31:55,362
Before we even think of
694
00:31:55,362 --> 00:31:56,838
charging anyone in this family,
695
00:31:56,838 --> 00:31:59,433
we wrap this so tight
no one can breathe.
696
00:32:00,512 --> 00:32:02,946
Grandma calls Mother,
Mother calls Father.
697
00:32:03,648 --> 00:32:05,411
Who's the weak link?
698
00:32:06,518 --> 00:32:08,611
My mother was worried
about Dawn.
699
00:32:08,611 --> 00:32:10,880
That's why she called me.
700
00:32:11,122 --> 00:32:12,646
You called your husband.
701
00:32:12,646 --> 00:32:15,192
Yes, to tell him what happened.
702
00:32:15,560 --> 00:32:17,825
He left work.
Where did he go?
703
00:32:18,331 --> 00:32:19,457
Why, uh,
704
00:32:20,099 --> 00:32:21,760
he had a business meeting.
705
00:32:23,603 --> 00:32:27,061
Mrs. Bryan, where are
your mother's bonds?
706
00:32:28,007 --> 00:32:29,770
I wouldn't know about that.
707
00:32:30,943 --> 00:32:32,968
That's hard to believe.
708
00:32:32,968 --> 00:32:34,740
They were your mother's income.
709
00:32:36,950 --> 00:32:39,043
If they're in
her safe-deposit box,
710
00:32:39,043 --> 00:32:41,110
we'll wonder
how you got them back.
711
00:32:47,094 --> 00:32:48,584
Mrs. Bryan?
712
00:32:57,038 --> 00:32:59,302
I couldn't see her
like that anymore.
713
00:33:02,510 --> 00:33:04,068
It wasrt your husband.
714
00:33:05,914 --> 00:33:07,973
You were in
her apartment that day.
715
00:33:14,723 --> 00:33:16,884
Virginia Bryan
is not a criminal.
716
00:33:16,884 --> 00:33:18,517
This is a homicide.
717
00:33:18,517 --> 00:33:20,357
My wife didn't know
what she was doing.
718
00:33:20,357 --> 00:33:24,229
Mr. Bryan, Mrs. Bryan,
we are not unsympathetic.
719
00:33:24,229 --> 00:33:26,200
She didn't kill my sister.
720
00:33:27,469 --> 00:33:29,027
Dawn wasrt there anymore.
721
00:33:29,027 --> 00:33:31,232
Who put the gun
in the sewer pipe, Mr. Bryan?
722
00:33:31,232 --> 00:33:33,299
You wouldn't arrest him.
723
00:33:33,299 --> 00:33:34,638
He's the one who killed her.
724
00:33:34,638 --> 00:33:36,406
He's the one
who deserves to die.
725
00:33:37,380 --> 00:33:38,608
Enough.
726
00:33:48,091 --> 00:33:49,684
Dawn called me.
727
00:33:51,596 --> 00:33:52,961
She wanted...
728
00:33:56,968 --> 00:33:59,960
She told me to bring $5,000.
729
00:34:02,640 --> 00:34:04,369
I pleaded with her.
730
00:34:05,409 --> 00:34:07,844
I told her,
"No, you have to stop.
731
00:34:09,281 --> 00:34:10,714
"Stop taking.
732
00:34:11,717 --> 00:34:13,412
Stop stealing."
733
00:34:15,487 --> 00:34:18,115
She screamed at me
to get the money.
734
00:34:19,424 --> 00:34:21,756
She'd burn my mother's bonds.
735
00:34:23,462 --> 00:34:24,759
Everything,
736
00:34:26,332 --> 00:34:28,732
everything my father left her.
737
00:34:43,249 --> 00:34:44,877
I went down there.
738
00:34:48,355 --> 00:34:50,983
She held them
in front of my face
739
00:34:53,627 --> 00:34:55,595
with a cigarette lighter.
740
00:34:58,866 --> 00:35:00,993
She told me to get the money.
741
00:35:03,271 --> 00:35:05,034
She had to have it.
742
00:35:05,740 --> 00:35:07,833
I said, "Not this time."
743
00:35:09,678 --> 00:35:11,111
"No more."
744
00:35:14,416 --> 00:35:15,883
Dawn said,
745
00:35:18,787 --> 00:35:20,482
it would never end.
746
00:35:24,160 --> 00:35:26,560
She'd steal all we had
747
00:35:28,798 --> 00:35:30,925
till there was nothing left.
748
00:35:35,838 --> 00:35:37,738
All these years,
749
00:35:39,710 --> 00:35:41,701
she wasrt going to change.
750
00:35:44,514 --> 00:35:46,072
I looked at her.
751
00:35:49,119 --> 00:35:50,780
It was so hard.
752
00:35:54,257 --> 00:35:57,556
Those little lines of blood
753
00:35:57,556 --> 00:35:59,152
in her eyes.
754
00:36:02,333 --> 00:36:05,166
Her hands full of holes.
755
00:36:10,508 --> 00:36:11,839
My baby
756
00:36:16,315 --> 00:36:17,873
was so pitiful.
757
00:36:23,655 --> 00:36:25,520
She gave me the gun.
758
00:36:29,128 --> 00:36:30,686
She begged me.
759
00:36:36,536 --> 00:36:37,798
"Mama,
760
00:36:43,543 --> 00:36:47,070
"put me out of my misery.
761
00:36:50,817 --> 00:36:52,341
"Do it for me.
762
00:36:54,088 --> 00:36:55,453
Please."
763
00:37:00,961 --> 00:37:02,121
I...
764
00:37:08,836 --> 00:37:10,201
I gave up.
765
00:37:20,782 --> 00:37:22,750
I did what she wanted.
766
00:37:30,326 --> 00:37:32,055
I killed my baby.
767
00:37:37,767 --> 00:37:41,601
Does charging my client
with murder serve justice?
768
00:37:52,349 --> 00:37:55,113
The Bronx D.A.,
Brooklyn, Queens...
769
00:37:55,319 --> 00:37:56,911
If anybody wants
this prosecuted,
770
00:37:56,911 --> 00:37:58,352
they've got laryngitis.
771
00:37:58,352 --> 00:37:59,548
Are we taking a poll?
772
00:37:59,548 --> 00:38:01,386
No, we're answering the phone.
773
00:38:01,386 --> 00:38:04,518
Come on, Paul. You really want
to go to a grand jury with this?
774
00:38:04,518 --> 00:38:05,721
Do we not go?
775
00:38:05,721 --> 00:38:08,425
Because we're afraid
of being labeled racist?
776
00:38:10,435 --> 00:38:13,996
I like to think that I am not
affected by the color of her skin.
777
00:38:14,739 --> 00:38:16,570
I'm not sure that's possible.
778
00:38:17,175 --> 00:38:18,301
Look,
779
00:38:20,044 --> 00:38:22,569
it's tragic.
I can't deny the womars pain.
780
00:38:22,569 --> 00:38:25,344
I can't pretend the drug
epidemic hits everyone the same.
781
00:38:25,344 --> 00:38:27,385
Nothing hits black
and white the same.
782
00:38:27,385 --> 00:38:30,181
Does that mean the law
should treat them differently?
783
00:38:30,181 --> 00:38:32,554
Do I want to see the woman
go to prison? No.
784
00:38:32,554 --> 00:38:34,593
But I don't see
how we can walk away from it.
785
00:38:34,593 --> 00:38:36,525
Well, we got
a two-choice world.
786
00:38:36,525 --> 00:38:38,028
One or the other.
787
00:38:38,028 --> 00:38:39,894
If we do nothing,
what are we saying?
788
00:38:39,894 --> 00:38:42,456
If no one's responsible
for Dawn Bryars death,
789
00:38:42,456 --> 00:38:44,695
a black victim doesn't matter.
790
00:38:44,938 --> 00:38:47,168
Don't charge the mother,
she's a victim of society
791
00:38:47,168 --> 00:38:48,537
and deserves special treatment.
792
00:38:48,537 --> 00:38:50,633
Which practically says
all blacks are victims.
793
00:38:50,633 --> 00:38:52,541
No, that is not
the message we're sending.
794
00:38:52,541 --> 00:38:53,601
Isn't it?
795
00:38:53,601 --> 00:38:56,547
Do blacks have a special right
to kill their children?
796
00:38:56,750 --> 00:38:58,877
That's not sympathy,
that's condescension.
797
00:38:58,877 --> 00:39:01,011
Nobody said
she had any such right.
798
00:39:01,011 --> 00:39:02,885
Maybe Dawn Bryars
life was finished.
799
00:39:02,885 --> 00:39:04,515
Maybe she'd have died
of an overdose.
800
00:39:04,515 --> 00:39:05,616
We'll never know.
801
00:39:05,616 --> 00:39:08,127
What I do know is
she died of a gunshot.
802
00:39:09,163 --> 00:39:11,461
All right.
Man two, probation.
803
00:39:11,461 --> 00:39:13,591
You're forgetting Jonas Stark.
804
00:39:13,591 --> 00:39:17,500
The Bryans planted evidence. They
tried to frame an innocent man.
805
00:39:27,649 --> 00:39:29,446
I'm taking my phone
off the hook.
806
00:39:30,218 --> 00:39:32,049
Go to the grand jury.
807
00:39:36,959 --> 00:39:38,325
We will hear testimony
808
00:39:38,325 --> 00:39:40,726
that Fred Bryan tampered
with physical evidence
809
00:39:40,726 --> 00:39:43,698
and that Virginia Bryan acted
with the requisite intent
810
00:39:43,698 --> 00:39:45,961
for manslaughter
in the first degree.
811
00:39:46,602 --> 00:39:48,593
As legal advisor
to the grand jury,
812
00:39:48,593 --> 00:39:50,901
I instruct you to
consider testimony
813
00:39:50,901 --> 00:39:52,703
as it applies to those crimes,
814
00:39:52,703 --> 00:39:55,300
and to return
appropriate indictments.
815
00:39:57,348 --> 00:39:59,646
The woman was standing
when she was shot.
816
00:40:00,651 --> 00:40:02,551
Can the
Medical Examiner's office
817
00:40:02,551 --> 00:40:05,247
determine how far
she was from the gun?
818
00:40:05,589 --> 00:40:07,250
Based on Mrs. Bryars
confession,
819
00:40:07,250 --> 00:40:09,315
using her height and
the angle of the bullet,
820
00:40:09,315 --> 00:40:11,418
I would say 3 to 4 feet.
821
00:40:12,296 --> 00:40:14,059
A shot at that range,
822
00:40:14,059 --> 00:40:16,429
could Dawn Bryan have survived?
823
00:40:16,901 --> 00:40:19,631
Without medical attention,
not very long, no.
824
00:40:20,538 --> 00:40:21,800
Thank you.
825
00:40:23,141 --> 00:40:26,668
I didn't see Dawrs parents
much after she was fired.
826
00:40:27,779 --> 00:40:29,713
Was there a reason for that?
827
00:40:29,713 --> 00:40:32,944
They felt my giving her money
was making it worse.
828
00:40:32,944 --> 00:40:35,715
If I stopped,
she'd be forced into rehab.
829
00:40:36,389 --> 00:40:38,186
Maybe that was true.
830
00:40:38,557 --> 00:40:40,457
I told them that
every dollar I gave her
831
00:40:40,457 --> 00:40:42,721
was one less she had
to earn as a prostitute.
832
00:40:43,496 --> 00:40:46,988
Did either Mr. Or Mrs. Bryan
ever express the idea
833
00:40:46,988 --> 00:40:49,534
that Dawn would
be better off dead
834
00:40:49,534 --> 00:40:51,001
than a drug addict?
835
00:40:52,439 --> 00:40:54,737
Not Mrs. Bryan.
She had faith.
836
00:40:55,642 --> 00:40:59,009
Mr. Bryan,
he... he just ran out of faith.
837
00:40:59,009 --> 00:41:00,910
He blamed himself.
838
00:41:01,515 --> 00:41:04,678
He said if she was dead
839
00:41:04,678 --> 00:41:07,345
he wouldn't have to
face it every day.
840
00:41:10,491 --> 00:41:12,254
I'm allowed to
make the request.
841
00:41:12,254 --> 00:41:13,486
The law's very clear.
842
00:41:13,486 --> 00:41:15,586
Mrs. Bryan has
a legal right to testify.
843
00:41:15,586 --> 00:41:16,687
Not her son.
844
00:41:16,687 --> 00:41:18,561
She's beyond caring.
845
00:41:19,267 --> 00:41:21,132
You want them to
indict for man one,
846
00:41:21,132 --> 00:41:22,863
I want them
to think about intent.
847
00:41:22,863 --> 00:41:25,030
Let Lucian make a statement.
848
00:41:25,030 --> 00:41:26,698
Testimony has to be relevant.
849
00:41:26,698 --> 00:41:29,039
Oh, where's Justice Douglas
when we need him?
850
00:41:29,039 --> 00:41:30,611
You want to debate relevance?
851
00:41:30,611 --> 00:41:32,647
Relevance is what
you decide it is.
852
00:41:32,647 --> 00:41:34,477
Let him make a statement.
853
00:41:36,452 --> 00:41:38,477
Uh, Beverly,
excuse us a minute.
854
00:41:42,491 --> 00:41:43,822
She has a point.
855
00:41:43,822 --> 00:41:46,360
You mean she'll fry us for
breakfast in the headlines.
856
00:41:46,360 --> 00:41:47,623
You know what they'll say.
857
00:41:47,623 --> 00:41:49,528
Rush to judgment,
big question mark.
858
00:41:49,528 --> 00:41:51,760
I don't wanna look overzealous.
859
00:41:58,374 --> 00:42:00,342
She didn't talk about it.
860
00:42:00,743 --> 00:42:03,234
Not since Dawn
lost the scholarship,
861
00:42:03,980 --> 00:42:05,608
didn't go to college.
862
00:42:07,952 --> 00:42:10,079
She'd come back from seeir Dawn
863
00:42:10,079 --> 00:42:12,052
and never say anythir,
864
00:42:12,690 --> 00:42:14,487
like nothir was wrong.
865
00:42:16,127 --> 00:42:19,187
I remember the time
my grandfather died.
866
00:42:19,730 --> 00:42:21,960
We didn't expect Dawn
to come to the cemetery,
867
00:42:21,960 --> 00:42:23,557
but she showed up
868
00:42:24,603 --> 00:42:25,968
in a taxi.
869
00:42:26,972 --> 00:42:29,907
We went to my grandmother's.
870
00:42:30,509 --> 00:42:34,172
My mom was happy
just to see Dawn eat.
871
00:42:35,413 --> 00:42:36,937
She was so thin.
872
00:42:38,683 --> 00:42:41,619
Wasrt until Dawn left
we noticed things missing.
873
00:42:42,955 --> 00:42:45,617
A stickpin.
It was gold.
874
00:42:46,726 --> 00:42:50,253
A silver dish my grandfather
brought back from the Army.
875
00:42:50,730 --> 00:42:53,699
From France.
World War II.
876
00:42:55,234 --> 00:42:56,667
She stole.
877
00:42:58,504 --> 00:43:00,405
She hit my grandmother.
878
00:43:01,375 --> 00:43:03,707
She hit my mom with a broom.
879
00:43:04,478 --> 00:43:06,878
And she always said
she was sorry later.
880
00:43:08,081 --> 00:43:10,914
Mum wanted to turn herself
in, Dad wouldn't let her.
881
00:43:11,685 --> 00:43:14,552
He said Jonas Stark
ought to suffer.
882
00:43:15,722 --> 00:43:17,121
He caused it.
883
00:43:17,991 --> 00:43:19,687
They decided
if he went to jail,
884
00:43:19,687 --> 00:43:21,752
people would be
protected from him.
885
00:43:23,298 --> 00:43:27,735
It wouldn't happen to somebody
else like it happened to Dawn.
886
00:43:31,940 --> 00:43:34,272
"The D.A.'s office
has shown a belated
887
00:43:34,272 --> 00:43:36,640
attitude of fairness.
We congratulate them."
888
00:43:36,640 --> 00:43:38,543
The editorials are back
on our side.
889
00:43:39,114 --> 00:43:41,048
The blindfolded lady
has two scales,
890
00:43:41,048 --> 00:43:43,846
and we should never look like
we have a finger on one of them.
891
00:43:46,956 --> 00:43:48,287
14 minutes.
892
00:43:48,287 --> 00:43:50,348
I guess Lucian
didn't affect them.
893
00:44:00,770 --> 00:44:02,499
Was this voted on
by a majority?
894
00:44:02,499 --> 00:44:04,062
Yes, it was, Mr. Stone.
895
00:44:11,014 --> 00:44:14,007
I have instructed you
on the law for an indictment
896
00:44:14,007 --> 00:44:15,780
for manslaughter
in the first degree.
897
00:44:15,780 --> 00:44:17,411
Uh, in the case of
Virginia Bryan,
898
00:44:17,411 --> 00:44:19,115
you've presented an indictment
899
00:44:19,115 --> 00:44:21,454
for possession of a weapon
in the fourth degree,
900
00:44:21,454 --> 00:44:22,753
a misdemeanor.
901
00:44:24,662 --> 00:44:27,096
Madam Forewoman,
are you certain
902
00:44:27,096 --> 00:44:28,825
a majority voted
on this indictment?
903
00:44:28,825 --> 00:44:30,958
I'm very certain,
Mr. Stone.
904
00:44:31,168 --> 00:44:32,659
Everyone that voted yes,
905
00:44:32,659 --> 00:44:34,705
could you raise
your hands, please?
906
00:44:41,246 --> 00:44:42,645
Thank you.
907
00:44:45,884 --> 00:44:48,375
Where'd they raise you,
Mr. Robinette?
908
00:44:48,375 --> 00:44:49,818
Scarsdale?
909
00:44:50,323 --> 00:44:51,517
Harlem.
910
00:44:52,558 --> 00:44:54,253
I never would have guessed.
911
00:44:56,062 --> 00:44:58,030
What could the law
do to my wife?
912
00:44:58,364 --> 00:45:00,025
Put her in jail?
913
00:45:00,533 --> 00:45:02,433
There's nothing left for her.
914
00:45:02,433 --> 00:45:04,502
She won't even go to church.
915
00:45:05,104 --> 00:45:06,696
You should have known.
916
00:45:07,507 --> 00:45:09,499
You may not believe this,
but I'm truly sorry
917
00:45:09,499 --> 00:45:11,544
for what happened
to your family.
918
00:45:11,979 --> 00:45:14,311
But you want us
to bend the law.
919
00:45:14,581 --> 00:45:16,071
And we both know what it's like
920
00:45:16,071 --> 00:45:18,277
to have one law for black
and another for white.
921
00:45:18,277 --> 00:45:20,684
It was no good 50 years ago,
it's no good now.
922
00:45:21,822 --> 00:45:24,086
You think
the system's gonna change?
923
00:45:24,625 --> 00:45:26,320
You think we're gonna be equal?
924
00:45:27,262 --> 00:45:29,355
Call me when your kids grow up,
925
00:45:29,355 --> 00:45:31,397
tell me how they're doing.
926
00:45:32,767 --> 00:45:35,292
The system's been against us
for a long time.
927
00:45:35,970 --> 00:45:37,767
Maybe right now
928
00:45:37,767 --> 00:45:39,737
it's gotta bend the other way.
