1
00:00:01,354 --> 00:00:03,151
In the criminal
justice system,
2
00:00:03,151 --> 00:00:06,988
the people are represented by two
separate yet equally important groups:
3
00:00:06,988 --> 00:00:08,960
The police
who investigate crime...
4
00:00:08,960 --> 00:00:11,792
and the district attorneys
who prosecute the offenders.
5
00:00:11,792 --> 00:00:13,525
These are their stories.
6
00:00:17,170 --> 00:00:20,333
645 West Fourth.
7
00:00:20,807 --> 00:00:24,139
10-4, this is
Central verifying 10-31,
8
00:00:24,139 --> 00:00:26,677
507 East 45.
9
00:00:26,677 --> 00:00:30,078
Burglary in progress, rear-door
warehouse, two white males.
10
00:00:30,078 --> 00:00:32,082
Two officers on the scene.
11
00:00:32,082 --> 00:00:35,847
Suspicious vehicle, occupied,
three males, green Chevrolet,
12
00:00:35,847 --> 00:00:37,718
55 and Second Avenue...
13
00:00:37,718 --> 00:00:41,350
repeat 10-85, call from
31-18, requesting backup.
14
00:00:41,350 --> 00:00:45,123
Two male suspects, Hispanic,
107 and Amsterdam.
15
00:00:45,123 --> 00:00:47,358
Possible drug sale in progress.
16
00:00:47,358 --> 00:00:50,993
10-85, 107 and Amsterdam,
call from 31-18.
17
00:00:50,993 --> 00:00:52,696
Possible drug sale in progress.
18
00:00:52,696 --> 00:00:55,001
He's alone out there,
needs additional unit.
19
00:00:55,001 --> 00:00:56,870
Two suspects, male, Hispanic.
20
00:00:56,870 --> 00:00:58,637
31-Charlie to Central.
21
00:00:58,637 --> 00:01:01,042
Responding to 10-85.
We're on the way.
22
00:01:01,042 --> 00:01:03,638
This is 31-5 to Central.
10-85, we are en route.
23
00:01:03,638 --> 00:01:05,614
Central to 31-18.
24
00:01:05,614 --> 00:01:07,548
Two units en route. Confirm.
25
00:01:07,548 --> 00:01:10,314
31-18 to Central. Confirm.
Awaiting backup.
26
00:01:10,314 --> 00:01:11,854
I'm short three for Wednesday.
27
00:01:11,854 --> 00:01:13,947
You're short one more.
It's my night with the kids.
28
00:01:13,947 --> 00:01:15,582
Well, then,
hire a baby-sitter.
29
00:01:15,582 --> 00:01:17,650
And don't forget to pay
the social security.
30
00:01:17,650 --> 00:01:19,218
Mac, please.
31
00:01:19,218 --> 00:01:22,459
Gardner's got the flu, Kelley's
wife is in the hospital.
32
00:01:22,459 --> 00:01:23,625
You're gonna have to do it.
33
00:01:23,625 --> 00:01:25,692
I've been on my hind legs
for two weeks.
34
00:01:25,692 --> 00:01:27,396
I got vacation days
I haven't used.
35
00:01:27,396 --> 00:01:28,438
What?
36
00:01:28,438 --> 00:01:30,736
31-18, 10-5, 10-5.
37
00:01:31,275 --> 00:01:32,867
For God's sake.
What is it?
38
00:01:32,867 --> 00:01:35,571
31-18's alone, he's
still waiting for backup.
39
00:01:35,571 --> 00:01:38,581
Central, this is 31-18, 10-85,
waiting for backup.
40
00:01:38,581 --> 00:01:40,674
Did you say two units
were on the way?
41
00:01:40,674 --> 00:01:42,309
31-Frank,
what's your location?
42
00:01:42,309 --> 00:01:44,251
31-18 waiting for backup.
43
00:01:44,788 --> 00:01:46,312
Central, this is 31-Frank.
44
00:01:46,312 --> 00:01:48,118
We're at 107 Amsterdam.
45
00:01:48,118 --> 00:01:50,523
We can't find this drug sale.
There's nobody here.
46
00:01:50,523 --> 00:01:51,821
Central to 31-Frank.
47
00:01:51,821 --> 00:01:53,988
Wrong location.
Repeat, wrong location.
48
00:01:53,988 --> 00:01:56,623
107 and Amsterdam. Confirm.
49
00:01:57,500 --> 00:02:00,526
Central to 31-Frank. Repeat,
confirm wrong location.
50
00:02:00,526 --> 00:02:01,900
He's alone.
Get some speed up.
51
00:02:01,900 --> 00:02:04,462
31-Frank confirming
wrong location.
52
00:02:04,462 --> 00:02:06,304
En route.
107 and Amsterdam.
53
00:02:06,304 --> 00:02:08,776
Newhouse. 31-18.
Make that a signal 10-13!
54
00:02:08,776 --> 00:02:10,938
Shots fired! They're firing
from both sides!
55
00:02:10,938 --> 00:02:12,447
Where are those two units?
56
00:02:12,447 --> 00:02:14,312
10-13, 10-13, shots fired.
57
00:02:14,312 --> 00:02:16,181
107 and Amsterdam.
Shots fired.
58
00:02:16,181 --> 00:02:17,981
Officer alone. Officer alone.
59
00:02:17,981 --> 00:02:20,215
31-18 to Central. I'm
pinned down! I can't move!
60
00:02:20,215 --> 00:02:22,281
Where the hell is the backup?
61
00:02:22,281 --> 00:02:23,791
Oh, my God, I'm hit!
62
00:02:23,791 --> 00:02:26,124
Newhouse, give me a report.
63
00:02:27,664 --> 00:02:30,928
Newhouse! 31-18,
Are you okay?
64
00:02:32,234 --> 00:02:33,997
31-18, respond!
65
00:04:01,888 --> 00:04:04,220
On the force three years.
66
00:04:04,220 --> 00:04:06,816
Fired at from both sides.
My favorite nightmare.
67
00:04:06,816 --> 00:04:07,882
Out here alone,
68
00:04:07,882 --> 00:04:11,488
he might as well have had a
bull's-eye painted on his chest.
69
00:04:11,488 --> 00:04:13,361
You find out
where his partner was?
70
00:04:13,361 --> 00:04:15,196
Yeah. Night class
at John Jay.
71
00:04:15,196 --> 00:04:16,292
Sergeant's exam.
72
00:04:16,292 --> 00:04:18,303
Newhouse started his
foot patrol without him.
73
00:04:18,303 --> 00:04:21,033
Seven shells, .22. The
dead dealer's got a. 38.
74
00:04:21,033 --> 00:04:23,507
Fiber, hair, buttons, anything?
75
00:04:23,507 --> 00:04:26,670
Not yet. I already told the
wife, don't hold breakfast.
76
00:04:27,247 --> 00:04:28,942
Out here,
with all these buildings,
77
00:04:28,942 --> 00:04:31,176
you might find a witness
who saw the other guy.
78
00:04:31,176 --> 00:04:33,549
And maybe the Second Coming
is tomorrow afternoon.
79
00:04:33,549 --> 00:04:35,280
Plastics.
We may get prints.
80
00:04:35,280 --> 00:04:36,548
Forensics, tonight.
81
00:04:36,548 --> 00:04:38,214
We'll have somebody there
in an hour.
82
00:04:38,214 --> 00:04:40,781
I'm gonna have to deal
with the press.
83
00:04:43,329 --> 00:04:44,956
You got here
after he went down?
84
00:04:44,956 --> 00:04:47,863
Dispatch screwed up.
We got the location wrong.
85
00:04:48,634 --> 00:04:49,896
What's with him?
86
00:04:49,896 --> 00:04:51,902
Weddeker?
On the force six months,
87
00:04:51,902 --> 00:04:53,835
his first killing, it's a cop.
88
00:04:55,107 --> 00:04:56,438
Hey, patrolman, you okay?
89
00:04:56,438 --> 00:04:59,966
POBA's got a reward.
$50,000.
90
00:04:59,966 --> 00:05:01,603
We'll do the fliers tonight.
91
00:05:01,603 --> 00:05:04,240
Thanks, we need
your help, we'll call.
92
00:05:08,220 --> 00:05:11,280
You hear about it,
but you never think it's...
93
00:05:11,280 --> 00:05:13,789
All right. All right. Weddeker,
go home, get some sleep.
94
00:05:13,789 --> 00:05:15,190
All right? Go.
95
00:05:17,795 --> 00:05:19,695
You remember foot patrol?
96
00:05:20,365 --> 00:05:24,165
Yeah. What I remember most is
I never thought I'd get shot.
97
00:05:29,407 --> 00:05:31,534
Call at midnight... You
know it's not a wrong number.
98
00:05:31,534 --> 00:05:32,837
He was a good cop.
99
00:05:32,837 --> 00:05:34,502
Yeah. Well,
we got no witnesses yet.
100
00:05:34,502 --> 00:05:36,308
We get an ID
on the dead dealer,
101
00:05:36,308 --> 00:05:37,939
maybe it leads us to his pal.
102
00:05:37,939 --> 00:05:40,381
This precinct hasn't
lost a guy in nine years.
103
00:05:40,381 --> 00:05:42,851
Now, I know he crossed
into your turf.
104
00:05:43,154 --> 00:05:45,088
The precinct line
is just across the street
105
00:05:45,088 --> 00:05:46,783
and my guys don't want
to be left out.
106
00:05:46,783 --> 00:05:48,655
You use them,
maybe it goes faster.
107
00:05:48,655 --> 00:05:50,216
Let's hope faster
than they drive.
108
00:05:50,216 --> 00:05:51,283
What?
109
00:05:51,283 --> 00:05:52,386
Your guys were late.
110
00:05:52,386 --> 00:05:55,023
My cop is dead. I don't need
this from you, Detective.
111
00:05:55,023 --> 00:05:57,090
I had to call that kid's
mother in Wisconsin.
112
00:05:57,090 --> 00:06:00,603
Fellows, why don't we see if
Forensics has anything, all right?
113
00:06:02,973 --> 00:06:05,032
You can't talk
to O'Hara like that.
114
00:06:05,032 --> 00:06:06,132
Why not?
115
00:06:06,132 --> 00:06:08,439
Because he also wears blue,
he's a captain and you're not,
116
00:06:08,439 --> 00:06:10,309
and he made the call
to the kid's mother.
117
00:06:10,309 --> 00:06:11,779
They got prints off the baggie.
118
00:06:11,779 --> 00:06:12,872
They're runnir 'em now.
119
00:06:12,872 --> 00:06:14,576
Lot of guys knockir
on doors tonight.
120
00:06:14,576 --> 00:06:15,811
No need for you to be there.
121
00:06:15,811 --> 00:06:17,820
Just get to Forensics
early in the morning.
122
00:06:17,820 --> 00:06:19,185
Let's go.
123
00:06:20,824 --> 00:06:23,190
Three slugs in Off.
Newhouse... at Ballistics.
124
00:06:23,190 --> 00:06:26,161
A print from your stiff,
Romeo Romejas, 28.
125
00:06:26,161 --> 00:06:28,197
Latent identified
our lifts from the baggie.
126
00:06:28,197 --> 00:06:30,756
Full thumb, full index.
Lucho Martinez.
127
00:06:31,468 --> 00:06:33,800
Lucho Martinez.
128
00:06:34,805 --> 00:06:36,773
Assault, no conviction.
129
00:06:36,773 --> 00:06:39,035
Possession, intent to sell,
no conviction.
130
00:06:39,035 --> 00:06:41,702
Robbery attempt, no conviction.
131
00:06:41,702 --> 00:06:42,766
Lucky guy.
132
00:06:42,766 --> 00:06:45,211
Not today.
Let's go get a mug shot.
133
00:06:49,285 --> 00:06:51,583
O'Hara didn't even
show up at the scene.
134
00:06:51,583 --> 00:06:54,054
Well, it was late,
they couldn't find him.
135
00:06:54,054 --> 00:06:57,024
I happen to know he was at
a VFA dinner in Brooklyn,
136
00:06:57,024 --> 00:06:59,652
waxing lyrical
on community policing.
137
00:06:59,929 --> 00:07:03,490
He didn't want to leave his peach
cobbler to see Newhouse's body.
138
00:07:04,133 --> 00:07:05,498
Hey, what's this about?
139
00:07:05,498 --> 00:07:08,230
It ain't about Newhouse,
you didn't even know him.
140
00:07:08,230 --> 00:07:10,431
You tell me.
What's it about?
141
00:07:12,808 --> 00:07:15,470
Maybe it's about your
two partners who got shot.
142
00:07:17,112 --> 00:07:20,081
Well, just keep sittir there and
tell me it hasn't occurred to you.
143
00:07:22,151 --> 00:07:25,608
Comir down the street.
Opposite side. I'm in front.
144
00:07:45,507 --> 00:07:46,769
Freeze!
145
00:07:48,009 --> 00:07:49,806
Give us a chance.
We'd love to try.
146
00:07:49,806 --> 00:07:51,345
Get 'em up! Now!
147
00:07:53,781 --> 00:07:56,341
You're under arrest. You have
the right to remain silent,
148
00:07:56,341 --> 00:07:59,352
and if you move funny,
I'll blow your head off.
149
00:08:00,555 --> 00:08:01,783
I want my lawyer.
150
00:08:01,783 --> 00:08:03,983
Good. Don't say
another word.
151
00:08:04,559 --> 00:08:05,685
I want my lawyer.
152
00:08:05,685 --> 00:08:08,819
You killed a cop,
you dumb son of a bitch!
153
00:08:08,819 --> 00:08:10,056
I didn't do it.
154
00:08:10,056 --> 00:08:11,688
Put a fist in it, Lucho.
155
00:08:11,688 --> 00:08:14,893
Your lawyer's not God,
you don't walk on this one.
156
00:08:17,204 --> 00:08:18,228
Jerry!
157
00:08:18,805 --> 00:08:20,363
Whatever he said,
you can't use it.
158
00:08:20,363 --> 00:08:23,307
He's got a problem with sentences
that have more than four words.
159
00:08:23,307 --> 00:08:25,106
You could have
a Miranda problem.
160
00:08:25,106 --> 00:08:26,509
Wrong, Counselor.
161
00:08:26,509 --> 00:08:29,981
And we got his prints on a
bag of crack at the scene.
162
00:08:29,981 --> 00:08:33,110
Prints, huh? You know
how I usually handle that?
163
00:08:33,110 --> 00:08:35,746
He bought a sandwich,
threw the bag away,
164
00:08:36,023 --> 00:08:38,355
and then somebody
filled it with crack.
165
00:08:38,355 --> 00:08:40,154
Let's talk to the DA.
166
00:08:47,267 --> 00:08:49,063
You're runnir on empty, Paul.
167
00:08:49,063 --> 00:08:50,625
The fingerprints
are a coincidence?
168
00:08:50,625 --> 00:08:52,637
On a plastic bag, yes.
169
00:08:53,306 --> 00:08:54,898
You don't have them on a gun.
170
00:08:54,898 --> 00:08:57,067
Well, we're gonna arraign him
and wait five days.
171
00:08:57,067 --> 00:08:58,235
Fine.
172
00:08:58,235 --> 00:08:59,835
But I promise you,
173
00:08:59,835 --> 00:09:02,380
if he gets into a knife fight
at Riker's,
174
00:09:02,380 --> 00:09:04,382
if he should
get his throat cut,
175
00:09:04,382 --> 00:09:06,941
if he should trip
and break his neck,
176
00:09:07,253 --> 00:09:08,743
I will drown you.
177
00:09:11,557 --> 00:09:12,546
Yeah.
178
00:09:13,292 --> 00:09:16,227
Five days.
From here to eternity.
179
00:09:16,227 --> 00:09:17,887
Maybe a little closer.
180
00:09:17,887 --> 00:09:20,194
Call to 911.
Somebody heard the shots.
181
00:09:20,194 --> 00:09:21,358
Maybe they saw a face.
182
00:09:21,358 --> 00:09:22,696
Yes!
No.
183
00:09:22,696 --> 00:09:24,099
First you have to find him.
184
00:09:24,099 --> 00:09:25,762
He didn't leave a name.
185
00:09:32,410 --> 00:09:34,605
They're shooting,
right... right below my window.
186
00:09:34,605 --> 00:09:35,941
There's a cop down there.
187
00:09:35,941 --> 00:09:37,845
Where are you
calling from, sir?
188
00:09:37,845 --> 00:09:40,384
107th and Amsterdam. That's
right, by the dry-cleaner.
189
00:09:40,384 --> 00:09:42,317
Yeah. You better send
someone quick, okay?
190
00:09:42,317 --> 00:09:43,945
What's your name, sir?
191
00:09:44,255 --> 00:09:45,415
What's your name, sir?
192
00:09:46,558 --> 00:09:47,684
Again.
193
00:09:48,259 --> 00:09:50,420
You heard it six times already.
194
00:09:50,420 --> 00:09:52,190
I want to know his voice.
195
00:09:52,190 --> 00:09:53,525
We get a Coles Directory,
196
00:09:53,525 --> 00:09:55,691
we hit every apartment
in the neighborhood.
197
00:09:55,691 --> 00:09:57,564
At 2:00 in the morning?
198
00:10:03,942 --> 00:10:06,240
If they were shooting,
you would've heard them.
199
00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:09,405
No. All my neighbors,
they didn't hear nothir.
200
00:10:10,215 --> 00:10:11,910
I got a pineapple cake
in the oven.
201
00:10:11,910 --> 00:10:15,110
If you didn't hear anything, how come
you were talking to your neighbors?
202
00:10:15,110 --> 00:10:16,743
No, I saw it in the paper, man.
203
00:10:16,743 --> 00:10:18,617
Hey, I love the police, man.
204
00:10:18,617 --> 00:10:20,418
You guys make us feel safe.
205
00:10:20,891 --> 00:10:23,689
No, I was at the hospital
seeing my wife.
206
00:10:23,689 --> 00:10:25,023
But nobody heard a thing.
207
00:10:25,023 --> 00:10:27,063
Nobody? I guess
you talked to everybody
208
00:10:27,063 --> 00:10:28,223
in the building, huh?
209
00:10:28,223 --> 00:10:29,959
I was at the hospital,
Saint Agnes.
210
00:10:29,959 --> 00:10:31,899
You wanna call my wife?
211
00:10:32,302 --> 00:10:34,099
I haven't been
out of the apartment.
212
00:10:34,099 --> 00:10:35,638
I've seen no papers.
213
00:10:35,638 --> 00:10:37,264
I didn't know
that somebody was shot.
214
00:10:37,264 --> 00:10:39,365
Mr. Nazarrio, everybody
in the building
215
00:10:39,365 --> 00:10:41,206
knows a cop was shot.
216
00:10:41,445 --> 00:10:43,310
Hey, you called 911,
didn't you?
217
00:10:43,310 --> 00:10:44,642
I didn't make no calls.
218
00:10:44,642 --> 00:10:47,081
No, mister, please.
I know your voice.
219
00:10:48,285 --> 00:10:50,116
There's a policeman dead.
220
00:10:50,116 --> 00:10:52,382
Now we're trying
to find anybody who...
221
00:10:52,382 --> 00:10:54,151
It wasrt me, no.
222
00:10:54,151 --> 00:10:56,157
Come here. Come here. Somebody...
223
00:10:56,726 --> 00:10:58,250
You want me
to read you your rights?
224
00:10:58,250 --> 00:11:01,626
You know what that means?
It means you're under arrest.
225
00:11:03,466 --> 00:11:06,833
Look, I, I seen the cop.
They was shooting at him.
226
00:11:07,770 --> 00:11:10,068
One of them got shot,
the other guy ran to the car
227
00:11:10,068 --> 00:11:12,107
and he just drove real fast.
228
00:11:12,107 --> 00:11:13,665
What kind of car?
229
00:11:14,410 --> 00:11:17,470
One of those, you know, uh...
Cost a lot of money...
230
00:11:18,781 --> 00:11:20,749
You know, sports car.
Corvette.
231
00:11:21,117 --> 00:11:23,813
Would you recognize
the man who ran away?
232
00:11:26,055 --> 00:11:30,048
Maybe. Uh, If I see him again,
uh, maybe.
233
00:11:32,462 --> 00:11:34,327
Nobody's gonna kill you.
234
00:11:34,664 --> 00:11:37,564
His friends kill me.
In San Juan they do.
235
00:11:38,734 --> 00:11:41,259
Just look at the faces,
Mr. Nazarrio.
236
00:11:47,275 --> 00:11:48,936
He's number 4.
237
00:11:49,778 --> 00:11:51,439
He ran to the car.
238
00:11:52,881 --> 00:11:55,611
Thank you.
We'll call you if we need you.
239
00:11:58,019 --> 00:12:01,455
Felony murder, 25-to-life.
Drugs, 5-to-15.
240
00:12:01,455 --> 00:12:03,682
He didn't kill the cop.
He had a. 22.
241
00:12:03,682 --> 00:12:05,693
The cop was hit with a. 38.
242
00:12:05,927 --> 00:12:07,554
Save the cost of a trial.
243
00:12:07,554 --> 00:12:09,028
He pleads murder two.
244
00:12:09,028 --> 00:12:11,497
Forget the drugs.
He does the 25.
245
00:12:13,201 --> 00:12:14,896
I didn't shoot him.
246
00:12:15,804 --> 00:12:18,329
Romero hit him in the leg.
247
00:12:20,174 --> 00:12:21,971
He was like an animal, man.
248
00:12:22,977 --> 00:12:24,410
He ran down,
249
00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:27,404
shot him again.
250
00:12:28,549 --> 00:12:30,642
He thought the cop was dead.
251
00:12:32,086 --> 00:12:34,316
Romero turned around to go,
252
00:12:35,422 --> 00:12:36,855
cop shot him.
253
00:12:38,025 --> 00:12:39,754
I got the hell out.
254
00:12:41,061 --> 00:12:42,460
I was lucky.
255
00:12:43,164 --> 00:12:46,258
Two cops around the block
sittir there in a car.
256
00:12:54,775 --> 00:12:58,643
He said he saw two cops
in a squad car a block away.
257
00:12:58,643 --> 00:13:01,202
A coked-up dealer.
That's very reliable.
258
00:13:01,202 --> 00:13:03,545
Yeah. So he saw
a blue-and-white Jersey cab.
259
00:13:03,545 --> 00:13:06,449
Look, you're not gonna convince
me they hung Newhouse out to dry.
260
00:13:06,449 --> 00:13:08,453
What? All cops are choirboys?
261
00:13:09,122 --> 00:13:10,248
I wanna see O'Hara.
262
00:13:10,248 --> 00:13:13,224
Uh, look, anything you have
to say to him, you say to me.
263
00:13:13,224 --> 00:13:15,625
Thanks.
I appreciate the confidence.
264
00:13:16,129 --> 00:13:20,031
Up until three months ago, Rick
Newhouse had a perfect service record.
265
00:13:20,031 --> 00:13:21,794
Where did you get
his service record?
266
00:13:21,794 --> 00:13:23,733
A leprechaun brought it.
267
00:13:23,733 --> 00:13:26,829
Three months ago, out of
nowhere, bad performance reports.
268
00:13:26,829 --> 00:13:28,874
From perfect cop
to screw-up, overnight.
269
00:13:28,874 --> 00:13:31,069
He also quit
the precinct boxing team.
270
00:13:31,069 --> 00:13:32,771
What are we lookir at here?
271
00:13:32,771 --> 00:13:34,404
Why didn't he get backup?
272
00:13:34,404 --> 00:13:36,505
Maybe the 31's dirty,
273
00:13:36,505 --> 00:13:39,643
and maybe Newhouse was
going someplace with a broom.
274
00:13:40,453 --> 00:13:43,478
It's a hell of a way
to end a family squabble.
275
00:13:44,957 --> 00:13:46,083
Not in my precinct.
276
00:13:46,083 --> 00:13:47,819
The only thing's dirty
are the windows.
277
00:13:47,819 --> 00:13:50,123
Tom, was Newhouse in trouble?
278
00:13:50,123 --> 00:13:52,959
He was clean. He just had
some kind of personal problem.
279
00:13:52,959 --> 00:13:55,431
Must've been serious
to affect his service record.
280
00:13:55,431 --> 00:13:58,401
No big deal. He missed a couple of
shifts. What's the problem, here?
281
00:13:58,401 --> 00:14:01,030
Two patrol cars never made
it to a cop under fire.
282
00:14:01,030 --> 00:14:02,733
Is this about chewir ass?
283
00:14:02,733 --> 00:14:04,867
'Cause I don't need some
detective in a striped suit
284
00:14:04,867 --> 00:14:07,537
telling me how to run my
precinct. I already chewed ass.
285
00:14:07,537 --> 00:14:10,411
Rhodes, Davis, Harley,
Weddeker, suspended.
286
00:14:10,411 --> 00:14:12,780
Three weeks from downtown
because I demanded it.
287
00:14:12,780 --> 00:14:14,113
That settle it for you?
288
00:14:14,113 --> 00:14:15,744
The other dealer who was there
289
00:14:15,744 --> 00:14:18,585
saw a unit parked
with two cops a block away.
290
00:14:18,585 --> 00:14:21,717
Don, if I'm hearing
what I think I'm hearing,
291
00:14:21,717 --> 00:14:24,159
take him out
before he hurts himself.
292
00:14:25,796 --> 00:14:27,661
I don't need an escort.
293
00:14:35,606 --> 00:14:36,971
Great performance, pal.
294
00:14:36,971 --> 00:14:38,906
Next time you wanna
get bones broken,
295
00:14:38,906 --> 00:14:40,500
try falling down
a flight of stairs.
296
00:14:40,500 --> 00:14:42,944
Next time I want advice,
I'll write Dear Abby.
297
00:14:42,944 --> 00:14:45,141
Listen, I got a question
for you.
298
00:14:45,141 --> 00:14:47,480
When Greevey
and Cerreta got shot,
299
00:14:47,480 --> 00:14:49,644
was it your first thought
to ask for a transfer
300
00:14:49,644 --> 00:14:51,153
to another precinct?
301
00:14:51,722 --> 00:14:54,657
See, while you were setting O'Hara
on fire, I was lookir at his desk.
302
00:14:54,657 --> 00:14:58,320
Newhouse's partner, McGraw,
put in a request for transfer.
303
00:14:59,096 --> 00:15:02,065
Your partner dies, you
want to be with strangers?
304
00:15:06,671 --> 00:15:08,831
McGraw?
Craig McGraw?
305
00:15:09,940 --> 00:15:11,669
You're Briscoe. Logan.
306
00:15:12,409 --> 00:15:14,377
You guys caught
that dealer fast. Thanks.
307
00:15:14,377 --> 00:15:17,345
Your partner, he had a good
record. He was a smart cop.
308
00:15:17,345 --> 00:15:19,245
We were wonderir
how he ever got involved
309
00:15:19,245 --> 00:15:21,045
in an incident like that.
310
00:15:21,045 --> 00:15:22,550
Just bad luck, I guess.
311
00:15:22,550 --> 00:15:23,984
Very bad.
312
00:15:23,984 --> 00:15:25,919
Maybe he was distracted
that night.
313
00:15:25,919 --> 00:15:27,354
Had something else on his mind.
314
00:15:27,354 --> 00:15:29,358
I wasrt there, I wouldn't know.
315
00:15:29,358 --> 00:15:31,394
You put in for a transfer?
316
00:15:33,863 --> 00:15:37,026
A change of scene may make it
easier to deal with.
317
00:15:37,934 --> 00:15:39,265
I got a busy day, you guys.
318
00:15:39,265 --> 00:15:40,325
Hey, McGraw...
319
00:15:41,705 --> 00:15:43,570
31 is a good precinct.
320
00:15:44,074 --> 00:15:47,202
Did I say it wasrt?
Thanks for comir by.
321
00:15:50,946 --> 00:15:53,779
If he tap-danced any faster,
he'd win a prize.
322
00:15:54,583 --> 00:15:56,813
What do we know about Newhouse?
323
00:15:57,052 --> 00:15:59,543
Want to take a walk
through his apartment?
324
00:16:04,793 --> 00:16:06,351
Mom and dad.
325
00:16:08,263 --> 00:16:10,060
You talk about wholesome.
326
00:16:10,060 --> 00:16:14,091
Donahue does a show on cops killed
in action, he's gonna invite them.
327
00:16:14,436 --> 00:16:16,404
Intellectual.
The New Republic.
328
00:16:23,712 --> 00:16:24,770
Lennie.
329
00:16:26,181 --> 00:16:28,206
You ever heard of a bar
called The Wave?
330
00:16:28,206 --> 00:16:31,843
79th and Columbus.
It's a gay bar.
331
00:16:35,790 --> 00:16:40,022
"Lambda Legal Defense Fund, serving
rights for gay people everywhere."
332
00:16:43,598 --> 00:16:45,759
His backup was slow
for a reason.
333
00:16:46,701 --> 00:16:48,464
We're gonna need
some transcripts.
334
00:16:48,464 --> 00:16:50,766
The radio tapes
from the shooting.
335
00:16:52,774 --> 00:16:53,832
You did what?
336
00:16:53,832 --> 00:16:56,468
You worried about the time,
we'll dock ourselves a day.
337
00:16:56,468 --> 00:16:58,341
I'm worried about you
losir your house
338
00:16:58,341 --> 00:17:00,176
and eatir macaroni
the next 20 years.
339
00:17:00,176 --> 00:17:02,806
I lost two houses already
and I like macaroni.
340
00:17:02,806 --> 00:17:05,045
Lennie,
read him the transcript.
341
00:17:05,787 --> 00:17:07,482
Newhouse calls for backup.
342
00:17:07,482 --> 00:17:08,783
Two units respond.
343
00:17:08,783 --> 00:17:10,255
Dispatch is busy a while.
344
00:17:10,255 --> 00:17:11,814
Newhouse calls again.
345
00:17:11,814 --> 00:17:13,019
No backup.
346
00:17:13,019 --> 00:17:14,082
They're on their way.
347
00:17:14,082 --> 00:17:15,185
Sure they are.
348
00:17:15,185 --> 00:17:17,127
31-Frank got
the location wrong.
349
00:17:17,127 --> 00:17:19,062
He didn't go
to 107 and Amsterdam.
350
00:17:19,062 --> 00:17:21,828
He thought it was an address,
number 107.
351
00:17:21,828 --> 00:17:23,961
Oh, come on.
I could've heard that wrong.
352
00:17:23,961 --> 00:17:27,006
The dispatcher called twice to
find out where the backup was.
353
00:17:27,006 --> 00:17:28,837
Two tries to get an answer.
354
00:17:28,837 --> 00:17:31,776
107 Amsterdam is
at 65th Street,
355
00:17:31,776 --> 00:17:33,642
40 blocks from Newhouse.
356
00:17:33,642 --> 00:17:36,682
The first car got to Newhouse
the same time as the second car.
357
00:17:36,682 --> 00:17:40,311
The second car started at
88th Street, 20 blocks closer.
358
00:17:40,311 --> 00:17:43,584
Twenty blocks difference,
they get there the same time?
359
00:17:43,584 --> 00:17:46,683
Donny, they left him
out there to die.
360
00:17:51,231 --> 00:17:52,858
Did Oswald kill Kennedy?
361
00:17:52,858 --> 00:17:55,424
If he didn't, it's the
greatest conspiracy in history
362
00:17:55,424 --> 00:17:57,298
and nobody said a word.
363
00:17:57,298 --> 00:18:00,202
One hundred and forty officers
in that precinct. Nobody knew?
364
00:18:00,202 --> 00:18:02,103
You stick your head out,
it gets cut off.
365
00:18:02,103 --> 00:18:04,438
You gonna risk that
for a gay cop?
366
00:18:04,438 --> 00:18:06,341
All right.
I'll call Internal Affairs.
367
00:18:06,341 --> 00:18:07,970
They'll run into a wall so big,
368
00:18:07,970 --> 00:18:10,106
a jackhammer
won't get through it.
369
00:18:11,617 --> 00:18:15,781
We know some guys in the 31. We
could, you know, sort of, accidentally
370
00:18:15,781 --> 00:18:18,085
run into 'em one of these days.
371
00:18:20,059 --> 00:18:21,686
I can't believe I'm doing this.
372
00:18:21,686 --> 00:18:24,285
One more penny drops,
we go to IA.
373
00:18:29,168 --> 00:18:32,069
You walk around thinking, "There,
but for the grace of God..."
374
00:18:32,069 --> 00:18:34,732
Hey, you think like that,
you hang up your badge.
375
00:18:34,732 --> 00:18:36,138
Those guys on backup
376
00:18:36,138 --> 00:18:38,402
must have a hard time gettir
up in the morning, huh?
377
00:18:38,402 --> 00:18:40,842
Well, you didn't make it
easier, bitching to O'Hara.
378
00:18:40,842 --> 00:18:42,903
Hey, a cop dies, you get upset.
379
00:18:43,615 --> 00:18:45,810
Newhouse was nobody's
favorite anyway, right?
380
00:18:45,810 --> 00:18:47,351
I heard he was gay.
381
00:18:47,351 --> 00:18:51,047
Is that right? Newhouse?
I never heard that.
382
00:18:52,590 --> 00:18:54,820
Hi, Ted. Logan, Briscoe.
383
00:18:55,560 --> 00:18:57,551
You guys are a little
out of your neighborhood.
384
00:18:57,551 --> 00:18:59,529
What's the matter, you lonely?
385
00:18:59,831 --> 00:19:01,492
Hey, guys, look
who's drinking with us.
386
00:19:01,492 --> 00:19:02,760
The 27.
387
00:19:04,903 --> 00:19:06,928
Congratulations.
You caught a cop killer.
388
00:19:06,928 --> 00:19:09,769
Thanks. Too bad
about your suspension.
389
00:19:12,844 --> 00:19:15,005
I wish we'd been there on time.
390
00:19:15,613 --> 00:19:18,104
We take a mark on our record.
It's... it's okay.
391
00:19:18,104 --> 00:19:20,412
Guess you werert in a hurry
to make a good collar, huh?
392
00:19:20,412 --> 00:19:21,416
What?
393
00:19:21,416 --> 00:19:23,350
Hey, hey! Jack, come on.
Come on.
394
00:19:23,350 --> 00:19:24,944
I gotta hear what he's saying.
395
00:19:24,944 --> 00:19:26,387
Let's go.
396
00:19:38,969 --> 00:19:40,994
Gotta take my kid
to the Cub Scouts.
397
00:19:40,994 --> 00:19:42,333
Good night.
398
00:19:48,645 --> 00:19:50,636
I don't wanna believe
this is possible.
399
00:19:50,636 --> 00:19:53,581
Briscoe and Logan don't shout
fire where there's just smoke.
400
00:19:53,581 --> 00:19:55,277
Gays have been
on the force for years.
401
00:19:55,277 --> 00:19:56,376
Out of the closet.
402
00:19:56,376 --> 00:19:57,477
But Newhouse wasrt.
403
00:19:57,477 --> 00:19:59,351
And a police captain
wouldn't see this?
404
00:19:59,351 --> 00:20:01,482
Tom O'Hara is
a well-liked cop.
405
00:20:01,482 --> 00:20:03,889
He's been decorated more
times than my living room.
406
00:20:03,889 --> 00:20:05,427
He's not a mind reader.
407
00:20:05,427 --> 00:20:07,792
I don't like going after cops
any more than you do.
408
00:20:07,792 --> 00:20:10,263
And it's not the whole force,
it's one precinct.
409
00:20:10,263 --> 00:20:13,097
And you wanna prove this with
a cop killer as a witness.
410
00:20:13,097 --> 00:20:14,534
Get me anything
better than that.
411
00:20:14,534 --> 00:20:17,004
It's won'th discussing
with O'Hara.
412
00:20:17,004 --> 00:20:18,938
What if I ask him to come over?
413
00:20:18,938 --> 00:20:20,873
Don't make it a royal command.
414
00:20:20,873 --> 00:20:22,342
I don't want a police riot.
415
00:20:22,342 --> 00:20:25,539
See him on his own ground
and take Cragen with you.
416
00:20:26,182 --> 00:20:27,706
Who knew the kid was gay?
417
00:20:27,706 --> 00:20:29,114
You have to acknowledge
418
00:20:29,114 --> 00:20:30,982
there are
a few loose threads here.
419
00:20:30,982 --> 00:20:32,816
Arert there always?
420
00:20:32,816 --> 00:20:35,753
I'm 22 years in.
You think I'm proud of this?
421
00:20:35,753 --> 00:20:37,850
I had four cops suspended.
422
00:20:38,394 --> 00:20:39,861
So you thought
something was wrong?
423
00:20:39,861 --> 00:20:41,794
I think they were sloppy.
424
00:20:41,794 --> 00:20:44,162
And you're convinced
that's all?
425
00:20:46,868 --> 00:20:48,733
Hey, this isn't nursery school.
426
00:20:48,733 --> 00:20:49,997
A hundred and forty cops.
427
00:20:49,997 --> 00:20:53,165
I'm sure at home, some of them
say, "nigger," "kike," and "fag."
428
00:20:53,165 --> 00:20:55,505
It affects the job,
they're gone.
429
00:20:56,144 --> 00:20:58,339
You want to talk
to the two sergeants, do it.
430
00:20:58,339 --> 00:21:00,574
Don't destroy them
for politics.
431
00:21:03,385 --> 00:21:05,285
Thanks for your time. Don.
432
00:21:15,897 --> 00:21:18,957
We didn't waste any time.
A cop was in trouble.
433
00:21:18,957 --> 00:21:21,535
So you went directly
to the incident?
434
00:21:22,537 --> 00:21:24,198
With all due speed.
435
00:21:24,739 --> 00:21:26,263
Uh, Sgt. Harley,
436
00:21:27,241 --> 00:21:29,835
Off. Newhouse was gay.
Did you know that?
437
00:21:30,377 --> 00:21:32,777
I never heard that. He
didn't look like one of 'em.
438
00:21:32,777 --> 00:21:34,837
What do you think
about gay cops?
439
00:21:35,816 --> 00:21:37,579
Personally, I was taught that
440
00:21:37,579 --> 00:21:39,448
God didn't approve
of that kind of thing.
441
00:21:39,448 --> 00:21:40,612
It's in the Bible.
442
00:21:40,612 --> 00:21:43,748
"Man shall not lie down with
man as he does with woman."
443
00:21:43,748 --> 00:21:46,793
Does that mean they shouldn't
ride in squad cars?
444
00:21:46,793 --> 00:21:49,055
Rick Newhouse wore
the same uniform I did.
445
00:21:49,055 --> 00:21:52,496
I would've done anything
to protect a fellow officer.
446
00:21:52,966 --> 00:21:56,060
We were at 65th Street.
We had to go 40 blocks.
447
00:21:56,060 --> 00:21:59,469
The other car went 20 blocks in the
same amount of time, Sgt. Rhodes.
448
00:21:59,469 --> 00:22:01,064
We went straight up Amsterdam.
449
00:22:01,064 --> 00:22:03,871
They hit traffic,
they couldn't get around it.
450
00:22:05,312 --> 00:22:08,372
I know an extra minute
could have made a difference.
451
00:22:09,349 --> 00:22:12,079
Did you know that
Off. Newhouse was gay?
452
00:22:15,288 --> 00:22:17,916
I didn't know
he was a homosexual, no.
453
00:22:18,324 --> 00:22:20,918
But that wouldn't affect
how I did my duty.
454
00:22:21,561 --> 00:22:24,928
Do you think that homosexuals
should be on the force?
455
00:22:30,703 --> 00:22:32,671
Look, I know
you're under pressure.
456
00:22:32,671 --> 00:22:35,867
These people have clout, they
helped Clinton get elected.
457
00:22:39,545 --> 00:22:41,740
This is not about votes,
Sergeant.
458
00:22:45,985 --> 00:22:47,475
I did my duty.
459
00:22:48,020 --> 00:22:51,182
And I didn't know Off.
Newhouse was a homosexual.
460
00:22:52,391 --> 00:22:54,951
Why admit they don't like gay
cops? Makes them look worse.
461
00:22:54,951 --> 00:22:57,927
It's a good line. "We're not
perfect, but we're honest."
462
00:22:57,927 --> 00:23:00,965
A man reads the Bible, it
doesn't make him guilty of murder.
463
00:23:00,965 --> 00:23:03,626
They admit they're bigots but
say it doesn't affect them.
464
00:23:03,626 --> 00:23:05,829
Newhouse's partner.
McGraw.
465
00:23:06,071 --> 00:23:09,040
Briscoe and Logan said he
knew something he wasrt saying.
466
00:23:09,040 --> 00:23:12,099
All right. Ask him
to come in. Tonight.
467
00:23:14,246 --> 00:23:16,077
I don't know what you want.
468
00:23:16,314 --> 00:23:18,612
I wasrt on duty
when it happened.
469
00:23:19,384 --> 00:23:21,045
I just stopped
by the Property Clerk.
470
00:23:21,045 --> 00:23:22,677
I can't be gone this long.
471
00:23:22,677 --> 00:23:24,278
If you have to leave...
472
00:23:24,278 --> 00:23:25,983
I don't know
what I can tell you.
473
00:23:25,983 --> 00:23:29,549
We think that your partner
got in trouble that night
474
00:23:29,549 --> 00:23:31,152
because he was gay.
475
00:23:39,537 --> 00:23:41,266
I want to be a cop.
476
00:23:42,206 --> 00:23:44,037
I want to stay a cop.
477
00:23:44,037 --> 00:23:46,301
Is there any reason
you wouldn't?
478
00:23:58,122 --> 00:23:59,885
It was around the precinct.
479
00:24:05,563 --> 00:24:07,428
"Manood and police work.
480
00:24:07,428 --> 00:24:11,093
"In Romans 13, the Bible tells
us we are ministers of God.
481
00:24:11,093 --> 00:24:14,103
"We have a duty
beyond the rules of the force.
482
00:24:14,103 --> 00:24:18,129
The homosexuals apply for promotion
when they don't belong here."
483
00:24:20,276 --> 00:24:21,766
Who wrote this?
484
00:24:22,412 --> 00:24:24,505
I don't know.
I gotta go.
485
00:24:24,505 --> 00:24:26,879
You have no idea who wrote
it? Where'd you get it?
486
00:24:26,879 --> 00:24:29,510
It was on the floor.
I really gotta go.
487
00:24:34,824 --> 00:24:36,792
Huh. "Ministers of God."
488
00:24:38,027 --> 00:24:40,928
Unbelievable.
But this isn't motive.
489
00:24:40,928 --> 00:24:43,989
Establishes intent
and state of mind.
490
00:24:43,989 --> 00:24:45,659
Yeah. Congratulations.
491
00:24:45,659 --> 00:24:47,669
You have flour and water.
492
00:24:47,669 --> 00:24:49,204
Get an oven,
you can make bread.
493
00:24:49,204 --> 00:24:51,240
What connects
state of mind to the crime?
494
00:24:51,240 --> 00:24:52,831
Suppose we break somebody?
495
00:24:52,831 --> 00:24:56,140
You have a responsibility.
This goes into the tank,
496
00:24:56,412 --> 00:24:59,209
I wouldn't want to be a gay
cop the day after you lose.
497
00:24:59,209 --> 00:25:01,442
Four cops.
Who's most likely to break?
498
00:25:01,442 --> 00:25:03,314
The youngest? Weddeker?
499
00:25:03,952 --> 00:25:06,819
Briscoe and Logan said he was
upset the night it happened.
500
00:25:06,819 --> 00:25:08,447
Couldrt even talk.
501
00:25:12,794 --> 00:25:14,386
We went as fast as we could.
502
00:25:14,386 --> 00:25:17,261
Off. Weddeker,
according to the radio tapes,
503
00:25:17,261 --> 00:25:20,824
you and Harley answered the
call first, you got there second.
504
00:25:20,824 --> 00:25:22,666
Traffic was bad on Broadway.
505
00:25:22,666 --> 00:25:25,935
Sgt. Harley's case report
says you were on West End.
506
00:25:27,976 --> 00:25:30,001
I meant, I meant West End.
507
00:25:30,001 --> 00:25:33,047
You were parked
around the corner, Patrolman.
508
00:25:33,047 --> 00:25:35,709
You waited until Rhodes
and Davis arrived.
509
00:25:40,821 --> 00:25:43,187
Harley is your superior, right?
510
00:25:43,187 --> 00:25:45,451
It wasrt your decision to wait.
511
00:25:52,733 --> 00:25:54,257
Harley's my partner.
512
00:25:55,670 --> 00:25:57,501
Cops take care of cops.
513
00:25:58,172 --> 00:26:00,231
Nobody took care
of Rick Newhouse.
514
00:26:00,231 --> 00:26:03,505
So don't tell me about
taking care of your partner.
515
00:26:03,505 --> 00:26:06,704
You think you need a lawyer,
call the POBA, now.
516
00:26:09,150 --> 00:26:11,118
Off. Weddeker,
look at me.
517
00:26:11,919 --> 00:26:13,284
Look at me.
518
00:26:18,259 --> 00:26:19,886
You knew it was wrong.
519
00:26:19,886 --> 00:26:21,552
It wasrt your decision.
520
00:26:21,552 --> 00:26:23,186
You didn't wanna do it.
521
00:26:23,186 --> 00:26:24,628
We make a deal,
522
00:26:24,628 --> 00:26:26,825
you won't be indicted
for a felony.
523
00:26:32,806 --> 00:26:34,433
Who wrote the memo?
524
00:26:42,449 --> 00:26:44,815
Well, they just,
they just wanted to...
525
00:26:47,587 --> 00:26:49,054
They just wanted to scare him.
526
00:26:49,054 --> 00:26:51,249
They didn't think
he was gonna die.
527
00:26:51,992 --> 00:26:54,392
Did Capt. O'Hara
write it himself?
528
00:26:57,364 --> 00:26:59,093
No, I think...
529
00:27:00,033 --> 00:27:01,660
I think he knew.
530
00:27:08,974 --> 00:27:10,168
Rhodes.
531
00:27:10,743 --> 00:27:12,506
Harley and Rhodes.
532
00:27:21,754 --> 00:27:24,416
Next case.
"Docket number 6913.
533
00:27:24,416 --> 00:27:26,048
"People of
the State of New York
534
00:27:26,048 --> 00:27:29,720
"v. James Davis, John Harley,
and Henry Rhodes.
535
00:27:30,195 --> 00:27:32,663
Charge is murder
in the second degree."
536
00:27:36,035 --> 00:27:38,299
Are your clients ready
to plead, Mr. Schell?
537
00:27:38,299 --> 00:27:40,600
Your Honor, we ask you
to consider the merits
538
00:27:40,600 --> 00:27:42,834
and dismiss the indictments
sua sponte.
539
00:27:42,834 --> 00:27:45,740
Merits? How would you know?
540
00:27:45,740 --> 00:27:47,539
I read the grand jury minutes.
541
00:27:47,539 --> 00:27:49,079
You don't have 'em yet.
542
00:27:49,079 --> 00:27:52,139
Now it's an indictment. You
don't like it, file a motion.
543
00:27:52,139 --> 00:27:54,878
Murder, second degree.
How do the defendants plead?
544
00:27:54,878 --> 00:27:56,198
Not guilty.
545
00:27:58,589 --> 00:28:01,422
Consistency is the hobgoblin
of little courtrooms.
546
00:28:01,726 --> 00:28:02,784
Let's talk bail.
547
00:28:02,784 --> 00:28:05,328
Uh, again, Your Honor,
considering the merits...
548
00:28:05,328 --> 00:28:07,387
Thank you. That's enough.
549
00:28:07,632 --> 00:28:08,826
Paul?
550
00:28:08,826 --> 00:28:11,198
The people request
$200,000 each defendant.
551
00:28:11,198 --> 00:28:14,067
Granted. If the defense
wants to appeal bail,
552
00:28:14,067 --> 00:28:15,537
submit it
with your other motion.
553
00:28:16,708 --> 00:28:17,834
I'm still in shock.
554
00:28:17,834 --> 00:28:19,274
I'll call an ambulance.
555
00:28:19,274 --> 00:28:22,471
L... I knew we were looking
at charges, but murder two?
556
00:28:22,471 --> 00:28:24,538
You're prosecuting bigotry,
not murder.
557
00:28:24,538 --> 00:28:26,913
Save the speech, Gordon.
Even you don't believe it.
558
00:28:26,913 --> 00:28:31,545
Penal law,
125.25, Subsection 2.
559
00:28:32,556 --> 00:28:34,820
"You have a depraved
indifference to human life,
560
00:28:34,820 --> 00:28:37,894
"you engage in conduct
causing a risk of death,
561
00:28:38,895 --> 00:28:40,726
you thereby
caused the death."
562
00:28:40,726 --> 00:28:43,732
Refresh your memory.
We call it murder two.
563
00:28:44,568 --> 00:28:46,229
I call it counting the voters.
564
00:28:46,229 --> 00:28:47,998
Only on my fingers.
565
00:28:48,205 --> 00:28:50,173
That's all we'll need
with a case like this.
566
00:28:50,173 --> 00:28:51,901
Every cop in this city
is against you.
567
00:28:51,901 --> 00:28:53,340
Not all of them.
568
00:28:53,340 --> 00:28:55,401
Some officers are
as appalled as we are.
569
00:28:55,401 --> 00:28:57,003
Now, wait.
This is gonna get ugly.
570
00:28:57,003 --> 00:28:59,742
Let's clean it up
before it's too dirty to save.
571
00:28:59,742 --> 00:29:02,717
Reckless endangerment two,
they keep their pensions.
572
00:29:02,717 --> 00:29:06,153
Pensions. Funny, that's the last
thing that would've occurred to me.
573
00:29:10,059 --> 00:29:13,688
10-85, 107 and Amsterdam,
call from 31-18.
574
00:29:13,688 --> 00:29:15,526
Possible drug sale
in progress.
575
00:29:15,526 --> 00:29:17,691
He's alone out there,
needs additional unit.
576
00:29:17,691 --> 00:29:19,530
Two suspects, male, Hispanic.
577
00:29:21,437 --> 00:29:23,496
What is the meaning
of "31-18"?
578
00:29:23,496 --> 00:29:26,234
That's a foot patrolman
identifying himself.
579
00:29:26,234 --> 00:29:28,105
31 is the precinct number
580
00:29:28,105 --> 00:29:30,441
and 18
is the foot-post assignment.
581
00:29:30,441 --> 00:29:32,673
And who was 31-18?
582
00:29:33,149 --> 00:29:35,014
Off. Richard Newhouse.
583
00:29:40,055 --> 00:29:42,523
Newhouse. 31-18.
Make that a signal 10-13!
584
00:29:42,523 --> 00:29:44,525
Shots fired! They're firing
from both sides!
585
00:29:44,525 --> 00:29:45,855
Where are those two units?
586
00:29:45,855 --> 00:29:47,953
10-13, 10-13, shots fired.
587
00:29:47,953 --> 00:29:49,691
107 and Amsterdam.
Shots fired.
588
00:29:49,691 --> 00:29:51,289
Officer alone. Officer alone.
589
00:29:51,289 --> 00:29:52,458
31-18 to Central.
590
00:29:52,458 --> 00:29:53,899
I'm pinned down!
I can't move!
591
00:29:53,899 --> 00:29:55,697
Where the hell
is the backup?
592
00:29:57,205 --> 00:29:59,230
My God!
Oh, my God, I'm hit!
593
00:30:00,875 --> 00:30:02,365
I found the memo in my locker.
594
00:30:02,365 --> 00:30:03,740
I wasrt surprised.
595
00:30:03,740 --> 00:30:06,144
There'd been a lot of talk
about Newhouse.
596
00:30:06,144 --> 00:30:08,546
What kind of talk,
Off. Weddeker?
597
00:30:09,017 --> 00:30:11,042
Newhouse passed
the sergeant's exam.
598
00:30:11,042 --> 00:30:14,316
Sgt. Harley said we didn't
need queer sergeants.
599
00:30:14,989 --> 00:30:16,684
And who wrote the memo?
600
00:30:16,684 --> 00:30:18,225
The word around
the precinct was...
601
00:30:18,225 --> 00:30:19,726
Objection.
602
00:30:20,728 --> 00:30:22,855
May we approach, Your Honor?
603
00:30:27,836 --> 00:30:29,963
He wasrt there
when it was typed, Ben.
604
00:30:29,963 --> 00:30:32,097
You know that. You shouldn't
have asked the question.
605
00:30:32,097 --> 00:30:33,970
He knows because it
was common knowledge.
606
00:30:33,970 --> 00:30:36,839
No. It's not
direct knowledge, Ben.
607
00:30:36,839 --> 00:30:38,901
Don't turn this
into a marathon.
608
00:30:38,901 --> 00:30:40,810
Stay off the subject.
609
00:30:40,810 --> 00:30:42,542
Objection sustained.
610
00:30:42,542 --> 00:30:44,208
Uh, Off. Weddeker,
611
00:30:45,552 --> 00:30:47,679
where were you
and Sgt. Harley
612
00:30:47,679 --> 00:30:49,654
when the call
went out for help?
613
00:30:49,654 --> 00:30:51,656
103rd and Amsterdam.
614
00:30:52,359 --> 00:30:55,385
And did you go immediately
to help Off. Newhouse?
615
00:30:55,385 --> 00:30:57,327
Sgt. Harley was driving.
616
00:30:57,327 --> 00:30:59,524
He stopped half a block away.
617
00:31:01,235 --> 00:31:02,566
Did he tell you why he stopped?
618
00:31:02,566 --> 00:31:04,695
Objection. Calls for hearsay.
619
00:31:04,695 --> 00:31:08,070
Res gestae, Mr. Schell,
a verbal act.
620
00:31:08,475 --> 00:31:10,272
The witness will answer.
621
00:31:11,511 --> 00:31:14,810
Sgt. Harley said
Off. Newhouse was a fairy.
622
00:31:15,916 --> 00:31:19,817
Said if he was in trouble, he
could flap his wings and fly out.
623
00:31:22,388 --> 00:31:24,652
Well, thank you.
No further questions.
624
00:31:31,097 --> 00:31:34,999
So, um, so you wanted to do the
right thing, and Sgt. Harley didn't.
625
00:31:34,999 --> 00:31:36,500
Uh, is that correct?
626
00:31:36,500 --> 00:31:39,037
Yeah. We should've helped him.
He was a cop.
627
00:31:39,037 --> 00:31:40,970
So what if he was gay?
628
00:31:40,970 --> 00:31:42,439
Oh. Oh, I see.
629
00:31:43,676 --> 00:31:45,200
You're the hero.
630
00:31:46,279 --> 00:31:48,213
Uh, tell me, Off. Weddeker,
631
00:31:48,213 --> 00:31:50,977
is your testimony today
part of a deal?
632
00:31:51,851 --> 00:31:54,945
Did you plead to a misdemeanor
to avoid indictment?
633
00:31:55,221 --> 00:31:56,279
That's not the reason.
634
00:31:56,279 --> 00:31:57,549
Really?
635
00:31:57,549 --> 00:31:59,385
Then why didn't you
leap out of the car
636
00:31:59,385 --> 00:32:02,221
and rush over to protect
Off. Newhouse yourself?
637
00:32:06,431 --> 00:32:07,420
I...
638
00:32:11,469 --> 00:32:13,699
I went along with Sgt. Harley.
639
00:32:14,973 --> 00:32:15,962
Oh.
640
00:32:19,811 --> 00:32:21,210
Quite a hero.
641
00:32:22,881 --> 00:32:24,371
No further questions.
642
00:32:27,519 --> 00:32:29,749
No. Only your most
crucial evidence.
643
00:32:29,749 --> 00:32:31,948
Half the precinct knows
who wrote that memo.
644
00:32:31,948 --> 00:32:34,719
How can I prove it?
She could've let it in.
645
00:32:34,719 --> 00:32:38,854
Judge Larkin? Her politics aren't
with you when the law is against you.
646
00:32:38,854 --> 00:32:41,329
We have to connect
the memo to Rhodes.
647
00:32:41,329 --> 00:32:43,992
What about the kid that
brought it in? The partner?
648
00:32:43,992 --> 00:32:45,695
He says he didn't know.
649
00:32:47,404 --> 00:32:48,666
Don't tell me you believe him.
650
00:32:48,666 --> 00:32:50,263
I put him on the stand,
he'll lie.
651
00:32:50,263 --> 00:32:54,107
He's scared of what the other cops
will think. Is that what he's scared of?
652
00:32:54,611 --> 00:32:57,307
I can't do that.
I don't know who wrote it.
653
00:32:57,614 --> 00:32:59,172
Three police officers.
654
00:32:59,172 --> 00:33:01,683
Should they wear
the same badge you do?
655
00:33:09,927 --> 00:33:11,952
Why did you want a transfer?
656
00:33:13,731 --> 00:33:16,291
You think you know
what this is about?
657
00:33:16,667 --> 00:33:17,656
You don't.
658
00:33:17,656 --> 00:33:19,168
I think we do.
659
00:33:20,104 --> 00:33:22,231
It's because you're gay, too.
660
00:33:32,181 --> 00:33:33,705
I can't do this.
661
00:33:34,484 --> 00:33:38,250
Will you feel that way when you
cry for help and nobody comes?
662
00:33:38,654 --> 00:33:40,485
My parents don't know.
663
00:33:41,157 --> 00:33:43,489
This would be a hell of a way
for them to find out.
664
00:33:43,489 --> 00:33:46,653
We need you as a witness.
You keep your secret,
665
00:33:48,031 --> 00:33:50,932
and you can die
in an alley. Alone.
666
00:33:52,435 --> 00:33:53,902
Like Newhouse.
667
00:34:02,612 --> 00:34:04,841
We used to talk
about our dates.
668
00:34:05,347 --> 00:34:07,406
Our women, me and Newhouse.
669
00:34:09,584 --> 00:34:11,017
We both knew.
670
00:34:12,254 --> 00:34:13,881
Kept it up anyway.
671
00:34:15,090 --> 00:34:18,218
You do anything to hide,
even when you don't have to.
672
00:34:22,964 --> 00:34:25,489
I told Rhodes one night
I had a hot date.
673
00:34:28,036 --> 00:34:30,766
Couple of hours later,
he's on the street.
674
00:34:31,573 --> 00:34:33,666
I'm comir out of D'Agostino's.
675
00:34:34,109 --> 00:34:36,441
I went to get a six-pack
with a...
676
00:34:38,380 --> 00:34:39,870
With a friend.
677
00:34:43,752 --> 00:34:46,619
Rhodes asks, "What
happened to your hot date?"
678
00:34:49,557 --> 00:34:51,718
And I said,
"She stood me up."
679
00:34:53,727 --> 00:34:55,957
I knew they were
checking on me.
680
00:35:01,068 --> 00:35:03,298
The next day
I had a new partner.
681
00:35:04,472 --> 00:35:05,734
Newhouse.
682
00:35:09,276 --> 00:35:11,267
Keep the queers together.
683
00:35:16,951 --> 00:35:18,680
Did anyone else in the precinct
684
00:35:18,680 --> 00:35:21,220
tell you that they knew
that you were gay?
685
00:35:22,990 --> 00:35:24,617
Two weeks later
686
00:35:25,259 --> 00:35:28,524
Captain O'Hara asked me
how I liked my new partner.
687
00:35:29,863 --> 00:35:31,558
I said he was fine.
688
00:35:32,966 --> 00:35:36,527
Captain says, "So, you're
taking the sergeant's exam, too.
689
00:35:38,438 --> 00:35:40,338
I'll have two of you."
690
00:35:41,641 --> 00:35:43,438
I knew what he meant.
691
00:35:44,277 --> 00:35:46,745
I show you People's Exhibit 7.
692
00:35:48,515 --> 00:35:50,107
Have you seen this before?
693
00:35:50,107 --> 00:35:51,741
Sure. I gave it to you.
694
00:35:51,741 --> 00:35:55,015
Ah, yes, but when and where
did you first see it?
695
00:35:57,123 --> 00:36:00,115
About two weeks
before Off. Newhouse got shot.
696
00:36:01,461 --> 00:36:03,190
I was at the copy machine.
697
00:36:03,496 --> 00:36:05,293
Sgt. Rhodes was there.
698
00:36:06,099 --> 00:36:08,727
After he finished,
I lifted the cover.
699
00:36:09,202 --> 00:36:12,170
He left the original.
He wanted me to find it.
700
00:36:15,240 --> 00:36:17,265
And after the shooting, I...
701
00:36:18,544 --> 00:36:20,512
I put in for a transfer.
702
00:36:21,380 --> 00:36:23,746
I didn't want
to end up dead, too.
703
00:36:25,184 --> 00:36:27,175
Thank you. Your witness.
704
00:36:29,154 --> 00:36:31,987
Did anybody
in the 31st Precinct
705
00:36:32,558 --> 00:36:35,152
ever harass you
because you were gay?
706
00:36:37,930 --> 00:36:39,727
I just said they did.
707
00:36:41,667 --> 00:36:42,656
Oh.
708
00:36:44,069 --> 00:36:47,527
Did anybody
scrawl the word "queer"
709
00:36:48,040 --> 00:36:50,031
or "fag" on your locker?
710
00:36:53,611 --> 00:36:54,635
No.
711
00:36:54,635 --> 00:36:57,010
Did anybody ever
call you names?
712
00:36:59,884 --> 00:37:00,942
No.
713
00:37:02,520 --> 00:37:04,818
Thank you.
No further questions.
714
00:37:09,026 --> 00:37:11,586
The jury can't ignore it.
It's cause and effect.
715
00:37:11,586 --> 00:37:13,357
You say it's cause.
716
00:37:13,664 --> 00:37:15,529
Maybe they don't see effect.
717
00:37:15,529 --> 00:37:17,124
They're changing strategy.
718
00:37:17,124 --> 00:37:18,498
You listening at keyholes?
719
00:37:18,498 --> 00:37:20,127
New witness list.
720
00:37:21,706 --> 00:37:23,503
They're putting on a shrink?
721
00:37:25,509 --> 00:37:27,136
They're gonna justify it.
722
00:37:27,136 --> 00:37:29,736
Yep. The last defense
of the guilty.
723
00:37:29,736 --> 00:37:31,782
"We did it,
but it's all right."
724
00:37:31,782 --> 00:37:33,544
Schell said
it was gonna get ugly,
725
00:37:33,544 --> 00:37:36,518
but I never dreamed
that this was what he meant.
726
00:37:37,721 --> 00:37:40,087
The fear of homosexuals
is common.
727
00:37:40,087 --> 00:37:42,090
Well, why is that,
Dr. Ross?
728
00:37:42,090 --> 00:37:46,151
In our culture, defining
masculinity is complicated.
729
00:37:46,630 --> 00:37:48,120
What is it that makes a man?
730
00:37:48,120 --> 00:37:50,996
Well, how does that relate
to homosexuals?
731
00:37:50,996 --> 00:37:55,103
Men are oftentimes afraid of
gays making sexual overtures.
732
00:37:55,605 --> 00:37:58,165
Men make passes,
women receive them.
733
00:37:58,575 --> 00:38:01,738
Somebody makes a pass at you,
you feel like a woman.
734
00:38:01,738 --> 00:38:03,904
Which, to most men, means weak.
735
00:38:04,214 --> 00:38:06,944
Well, how are
heterosexual men affected?
736
00:38:07,350 --> 00:38:10,683
A fear of seduction by
another man makes them angry.
737
00:38:10,887 --> 00:38:13,515
Oftentimes, this anger
can turn into hatred.
738
00:38:13,515 --> 00:38:15,387
Would you call that normal?
739
00:38:15,387 --> 00:38:16,982
I'd call it common.
740
00:38:16,982 --> 00:38:20,688
So these feelings
are not voluntary or reckless?
741
00:38:20,688 --> 00:38:21,787
Yes, that's right.
742
00:38:21,787 --> 00:38:24,628
Recklessness implies
its opposite: Control.
743
00:38:24,628 --> 00:38:26,531
You can't control
these feelings.
744
00:38:26,531 --> 00:38:29,002
Thank you, Doctor.
Your witness.
745
00:38:32,074 --> 00:38:35,669
Dr. Ross, are you saying
746
00:38:36,011 --> 00:38:40,505
that it is acceptable
to hate homosexuals?
747
00:38:41,784 --> 00:38:43,752
I'm saying that men
who have these feelings
748
00:38:43,752 --> 00:38:45,411
have difficulty
controlling them.
749
00:38:45,411 --> 00:38:48,183
But you are suggesting that
these officers of the law
750
00:38:48,183 --> 00:38:49,815
let a man die out of anger.
751
00:38:49,815 --> 00:38:51,792
And you're making it
sound okay.
752
00:38:52,127 --> 00:38:53,219
I would never say that.
753
00:38:53,219 --> 00:38:55,320
Hatred of homosexuals
is unfortunate,
754
00:38:55,320 --> 00:38:57,194
not to mention pathological,
755
00:38:57,194 --> 00:39:00,132
and, like any pathology,
it's not voluntary.
756
00:39:04,372 --> 00:39:06,704
Thank you.
No further questions.
757
00:39:08,009 --> 00:39:09,374
It's a fact of life.
758
00:39:09,374 --> 00:39:11,344
It's not just
in the police department.
759
00:39:11,344 --> 00:39:13,676
Did any of the defendants
express concern
760
00:39:13,676 --> 00:39:16,239
about homosexual officers
in the precinct?
761
00:39:16,239 --> 00:39:18,410
I don't recall
anything specific.
762
00:39:18,410 --> 00:39:20,511
I hear derogatory remarks.
763
00:39:20,511 --> 00:39:24,922
I hear men talk about dealing with
a wounded officer who may have AIDS.
764
00:39:24,922 --> 00:39:27,187
But my men know
the results of harassment:
765
00:39:27,187 --> 00:39:29,058
You are off the force.
766
00:39:29,058 --> 00:39:32,293
Now these defendants, you know
them. You know them very well.
767
00:39:32,293 --> 00:39:36,030
A witness has testified that
they deliberately delayed
768
00:39:36,030 --> 00:39:39,733
helping another officer
because he was gay.
769
00:39:40,908 --> 00:39:42,101
Now, do you believe that?
770
00:39:42,101 --> 00:39:43,506
No, I don't.
771
00:39:44,111 --> 00:39:46,636
Thank you, Captain.
No further questions.
772
00:39:49,483 --> 00:39:50,916
Capt. O'Hara,
773
00:39:51,585 --> 00:39:54,418
uh, it was you that
assigned Craig McGraw
774
00:39:54,418 --> 00:39:56,752
to be Rick Newhouse's partner?
775
00:39:56,752 --> 00:39:57,983
Yes, I did.
776
00:39:57,983 --> 00:40:01,960
And the fact that both of them
were gay is just a coincidence?
777
00:40:01,960 --> 00:40:03,393
Yes, it was.
778
00:40:03,393 --> 00:40:06,523
So you are disputing not only
Off. Weddeker's testimony,
779
00:40:06,523 --> 00:40:09,194
you also are disputing
Craig McGraw's as well.
780
00:40:09,194 --> 00:40:10,759
Two witnesses are lying.
781
00:40:10,759 --> 00:40:12,327
I didn't say that.
782
00:40:12,327 --> 00:40:13,996
They saw
what they wanted to see.
783
00:40:13,996 --> 00:40:17,202
So they only perceived
hostility toward gay cops.
784
00:40:17,411 --> 00:40:18,935
Intolerance isn't murder,
Mr. Stone.
785
00:40:18,935 --> 00:40:20,843
My men may have made mistakes,
786
00:40:20,843 --> 00:40:22,313
but I don't think they intended
787
00:40:22,313 --> 00:40:23,747
for Off. Newhouse
to get killed.
788
00:40:23,747 --> 00:40:26,182
But isn't it true,
Capt. O'Hara,
789
00:40:26,182 --> 00:40:30,313
that Off. Newhouse, three
months before he was shot,
790
00:40:30,589 --> 00:40:32,250
had a perfect service record?
791
00:40:32,250 --> 00:40:34,622
A good record isn't everything.
792
00:40:34,622 --> 00:40:37,685
Officers have to believe
that you're part of the team.
793
00:40:40,032 --> 00:40:42,193
Uh, we've heard that,
Capt. O'Hara.
794
00:40:42,193 --> 00:40:45,704
You've already testified
that your men are worried
795
00:40:45,704 --> 00:40:48,535
that they can't trust
a gay cop to be there
796
00:40:48,941 --> 00:40:50,704
when a cop needs help.
797
00:40:53,612 --> 00:40:57,412
But in this case, it was the
straight cops who didn't show up.
798
00:41:00,486 --> 00:41:01,578
Who should be worrying?
799
00:41:01,578 --> 00:41:02,848
Objection.
800
00:41:04,390 --> 00:41:06,823
Withdrawn. No more questions.
801
00:41:10,094 --> 00:41:12,688
The prosecution tells
a simple story.
802
00:41:13,398 --> 00:41:17,858
Three good cops with good
records let another cop die.
803
00:41:22,307 --> 00:41:24,366
Do you really believe that?
804
00:41:26,211 --> 00:41:30,170
Witnesses have told you that these
men have malice in their hearts.
805
00:41:31,115 --> 00:41:33,208
And yet their own captain,
806
00:41:33,208 --> 00:41:36,117
an exemplary officer,
tells you they did not.
807
00:41:38,456 --> 00:41:40,151
You must decide.
808
00:41:41,593 --> 00:41:44,494
Did these men act recklessly
809
00:41:44,896 --> 00:41:46,591
or unconsciously,
810
00:41:47,499 --> 00:41:49,898
unaware of what
they were doing?
811
00:41:52,603 --> 00:41:55,333
What the prosecution demands
is unjust.
812
00:41:57,841 --> 00:41:59,900
To find these men guilty
813
00:42:01,078 --> 00:42:04,775
for upholding the very values
of the society
814
00:42:04,775 --> 00:42:07,009
that they've sworn to protect.
815
00:42:09,586 --> 00:42:11,451
Ladies and gentlemen,
816
00:42:11,922 --> 00:42:13,822
in your deliberations
817
00:42:13,822 --> 00:42:16,757
please ask yourselves
818
00:42:18,562 --> 00:42:23,158
are their values really
so different from your own?
819
00:42:28,639 --> 00:42:30,663
So let's suppose
that it's true,
820
00:42:30,663 --> 00:42:33,072
what Defense Attorney Schell
implies:
821
00:42:33,072 --> 00:42:35,133
That each of you, all of you,
822
00:42:35,133 --> 00:42:37,577
sympathize with the defendants,
823
00:42:38,281 --> 00:42:41,512
trapped as they are
in their fears.
824
00:42:42,218 --> 00:42:46,416
That, in fact, more people hate
homosexuals than are willing to admit.
825
00:42:47,990 --> 00:42:51,858
Now, I venture to say
that in your family histories
826
00:42:51,858 --> 00:42:56,421
someone, somewhere hates you,
or your relatives
827
00:42:56,421 --> 00:43:00,458
for no other reason than
that they are black or white,
828
00:43:00,458 --> 00:43:02,766
Slovak instead of Czech,
829
00:43:02,766 --> 00:43:04,965
Protestant instead of Catholic,
830
00:43:04,965 --> 00:43:07,006
left-wing, not right.
831
00:43:07,843 --> 00:43:10,835
And are you going to let
officers of the law decide
832
00:43:10,835 --> 00:43:14,348
which of you they'll help
based on who and what you are?
833
00:43:14,348 --> 00:43:17,180
If so, then don't dial 911.
834
00:43:19,554 --> 00:43:22,022
Even if you think
you're one of them.
835
00:43:23,191 --> 00:43:25,182
Because you may end up
836
00:43:26,061 --> 00:43:28,086
being Off. Newhouse.
837
00:43:30,765 --> 00:43:34,030
These defendants let a man die.
838
00:43:34,030 --> 00:43:37,299
And for all of us, you must
hold them responsible.
839
00:43:52,220 --> 00:43:54,551
Will the defendants
please rise?
840
00:44:00,894 --> 00:44:03,158
Has the jury reached a verdict?
841
00:44:03,964 --> 00:44:05,625
We have, Your Honor.
842
00:44:06,600 --> 00:44:09,194
On the charge of murder
in the second degree
843
00:44:09,194 --> 00:44:11,134
for the defendant, James Davis,
844
00:44:11,134 --> 00:44:13,036
how did the jury find?
845
00:44:13,474 --> 00:44:14,805
Not guilty.
846
00:44:14,805 --> 00:44:18,504
For the defendant John Harley,
how does the jury find?
847
00:44:19,046 --> 00:44:20,775
Not guilty.
848
00:44:21,615 --> 00:44:25,073
For the defendant Henry
Rhodes, how does the jury find?
849
00:44:25,819 --> 00:44:28,117
We find the defendant
not guilty.
850
00:44:49,208 --> 00:44:50,539
Come in.
851
00:44:52,812 --> 00:44:54,040
Hi, Adam.
852
00:44:55,081 --> 00:44:56,605
What are you doir?
853
00:44:57,417 --> 00:44:59,476
Replaying the ninth inning.
854
00:45:00,253 --> 00:45:02,221
I should've
crucified that shrink.
855
00:45:02,221 --> 00:45:04,279
No. They didn't want
to convict.
856
00:45:04,724 --> 00:45:06,589
He gave 'em an excuse.
857
00:45:09,629 --> 00:45:11,927
Maybe it was
the wrong summation.
858
00:45:12,198 --> 00:45:14,496
You did your best.
Did it right.
859
00:45:15,268 --> 00:45:16,599
You lost.
860
00:45:17,603 --> 00:45:19,365
They used to ask,
"How can a man
861
00:45:19,365 --> 00:45:22,339
put a sheet on his head
and lynch somebody?"
862
00:45:24,076 --> 00:45:26,340
Usually he can't, by himself.
863
00:45:27,279 --> 00:45:29,406
But when there's
more than one...
864
00:45:30,282 --> 00:45:32,182
Four cops let him die.
865
00:45:33,085 --> 00:45:35,315
And twelve citizens
did it again.
866
00:45:39,791 --> 00:45:42,191
And they voted
their indifference.
