NARRATOR:
In the criminal justice system
2
00:00:08,208 --> 00:00:12,076
the people are represented by two
separate yet equally important groups,
3
00:00:12,145 --> 00:00:13,943
the police
who investigate crime
4
00:00:14,014 --> 00:00:16,346
and the district attorneys
who prosecute the offenders.
5
00:00:16,884 --> 00:00:18,352
These are their stories.
6
00:00:19,987 --> 00:00:21,512
This neighborhood
doesn't look so black.
7
00:00:21,588 --> 00:00:23,181
Yeah, well,
she's a big-time rapper.
8
00:00:23,257 --> 00:00:24,588
She can live
wherever she wants.
9
00:00:24,658 --> 00:00:26,183
Yeah, but here?
10
00:00:26,560 --> 00:00:28,426
The web site said
this is the place.
11
00:00:29,296 --> 00:00:31,287
And start thinking
dollar signs.
12
00:00:31,365 --> 00:00:33,993
150 bucks on eBay
if she signs it.
13
00:00:34,067 --> 00:00:35,091
If she's home.
14
00:00:35,168 --> 00:00:36,602
If she's not,
we'll wait.
15
00:00:36,670 --> 00:00:38,764
Two hours tops,
all right?
16
00:00:38,839 --> 00:00:40,739

to Syosset.

Yo, Sweet Clarice!
18
00:00:44,578 --> 00:00:45,875
Dude, she's probably
gonna open the door
19
00:00:45,946 --> 00:00:47,573
and bust a cap
in your ass.
20
00:00:47,648 --> 00:00:50,174
No one's gonna bust a cap
in anyone's ass.

Hello?

so stealing something!

Dude, what are
you doing?

00:01:13,974 --> 00:01:15,567
Just something small.

A BlackBerry.
This is huge.

on speed dial.

We're gonna make
a fortune on this one.

Where are you going?
34
00:01:42,936 --> 00:01:44,631
These knuckleheads
found her and called it in.
35
00:01:44,705 --> 00:01:45,934
Said they were
autograph hunters.
36
00:01:46,006 --> 00:01:47,735
They got blood on them?
No blood, no weapon.

Well, hold them anyway.
Was it a forced entry?

are intact.

Is the place ransacked?
Nothing.
40

You said they wanted
an autograph.
41
00:01:53,947 --> 00:01:55,608
From who, the DOA?
42
00:01:56,650 --> 00:01:58,379
Name's Clarice James.
43
00:01:58,452 --> 00:01:59,942
Sweet Clarice?
The rapper?
44
00:02:00,487 --> 00:02:01,477
Too violent for me.
45
00:02:01,588 --> 00:02:03,454
Sex, guns,
and a nasty mouth.
46
00:02:05,225 --> 00:02:06,488
No sign of a struggle.
47
00:02:07,227 --> 00:02:09,389
She got powder burn
on her dress.
48

She took two the chest.

That's a whole lot
of bling to leave behind.

that goes for?

alive till 1:00 a.m.
55
00:03:12,225 --> 00:03:14,353
She did an appearance
at the Garden with Jay-Z
56
00:03:14,428 --> 00:03:15,725
at 11:00.
57
00:03:15,796 --> 00:03:19,824
Her promoter says the town
car got her home at 1:00.
58
00:03:19,900 --> 00:03:21,129
You talked
to the limo driver?
59
00:03:21,201 --> 00:03:23,192
Yeah, he's 70-years-old.
He doesn't have a record.
60
00:03:23,270 --> 00:03:26,103
And he had another pickup 10 minutes
after he dropped Clarice off.

Yeah?

South Squad faxed over
this five from two weeks ago.
63
00:03:30,877 --> 00:03:32,208
Clarice was questioned
in a shooting
64
00:03:32,279 --> 00:03:34,611
that went down outside
the 2-103 radio station.
65
00:03:34,681 --> 00:03:36,410
Questioned as a witness
or a suspect?
66
00:03:36,483 --> 00:03:37,473
A witness.
67
00:03:37,551 --> 00:03:38,746
Clarice was there
with her crew
68
00:03:38,819 --> 00:03:39,980
to do a promotional
appearance
69
00:03:40,053 --> 00:03:42,920
when Roxy Black
showed up with her boys.
70
00:03:42,989 --> 00:03:45,287
Ended up with Roxy's guy
getting shot in the arm.
71
00:03:45,358 --> 00:03:48,521
Uh, Ricky Bonner.
Long sheet.
72
00:03:48,628 --> 00:03:51,563
So Roxy Black
and our DOA were rivals?
73
00:03:51,631 --> 00:03:52,860
Oh, my God, for years.
74
00:03:53,100 --> 00:03:54,829
You're looking at payback?
75
00:03:54,901 --> 00:03:56,494
That's the theory,
but Clarice's rap sheet
76
00:03:56,570 --> 00:03:58,664
ain't enough to support
her gangster persona.
77
00:03:58,739 --> 00:04:00,571
But it's hard to believe
it's all an act.
78
00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:03,371
I mean, Lieu, have you
heard any of her lyrics?

Nobody heard anything.

with Ricky Bonner.

the score.

shot you at the radio station.

in Clarice's posse?

I'm all about
peace, man.

say differently.
92
00:04:29,236 --> 00:04:30,465
And we got a homicide
here, Ricky.

We're not leaving
empty-handed.

so will security. See ya.

00:04:36,109 --> 00:04:37,873
I will search everybody
in this room

in the crossfire.

Is there anybody
in Roxy's crew

revenge for you?

Not unless Roxy
gave the word.

against Clarice.

away from each other

to the same grammar school.

have a boyfriend?

too busy for men.

00:06:23,650 --> 00:06:25,379

over 200 grand

in royalties
from her latest album,
151

wasn't hearing it.

the connection.

There was a mild
financial dispute,
154
00:06:39,132 --> 00:06:40,156
but name one artist
155
00:06:40,233 --> 00:06:41,826
who doesn't pitch a beef
now and then.
156
00:06:41,902 --> 00:06:43,301

for mixing business
with violence.
158
00:06:44,971 --> 00:06:47,065
You hung a guy
out of a hotel room window
159
00:06:47,140 --> 00:06:48,801
so he'd sign over
his publishing.

Christmas party this year.

that assault and gun collar
on your sheet
164
00:06:56,016 --> 00:06:57,575
didn't have anything
to do with press.
165
00:06:57,651 --> 00:06:58,709
Guilty on both.
166
00:06:58,785 --> 00:07:00,810
Paid for with six years
of my life.
167
00:07:00,887 --> 00:07:02,685
Not an experience
I care to repeat.
168
00:07:02,756 --> 00:07:04,781
So if we ask around,
which we will,
169
00:07:04,858 --> 00:07:06,792
everything was cool
between you and Clarice?
170
00:07:07,661 --> 00:07:10,323
All I will cop to is being
displeased with her sales.
171
00:07:10,397 --> 00:07:11,489
But that was all on her.
172
00:07:11,564 --> 00:07:12,554
Because?
173
00:07:12,632 --> 00:07:14,259
It wasn't the Clarice
people wanted.
174
00:07:14,334 --> 00:07:16,268
It was Clarice Light.
No guts.
175
00:07:16,436 --> 00:07:19,098
That translates
to no profanity, no sex?
176
00:07:19,339 --> 00:07:20,829
Equals no sales.
177
00:07:20,907 --> 00:07:22,705
But that'll get an artist
dropped off a label,
178
00:07:22,776 --> 00:07:24,471
not killed.
Fine.
179
00:07:24,544 --> 00:07:26,569
Were where you last night?
1:00 a.m.
180
00:07:26,746 --> 00:07:28,475
Deuces,
which is my club.
181
00:07:28,949 --> 00:07:30,474
Law enforcement
always welcome.
182
00:07:30,884 --> 00:07:32,750
I appreciate that.
Who'll back it up?
183
00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:34,651
Everybody.
184
00:07:38,625 --> 00:07:40,150
Andre Blair checks out
as the club,
185
00:07:40,226 --> 00:07:41,284
but there's
plenty of gaps.
186
00:07:41,361 --> 00:07:43,796
In histimeline,
but also his sheet.
187
00:07:43,863 --> 00:07:46,025
His last collar
was 11 years ago.
188
00:07:46,099 --> 00:07:47,863
Well, six of which
he spent locked up.
189
00:07:47,934 --> 00:07:49,402
Yeah, but we're talking
about a guy
190
00:07:49,469 --> 00:07:51,460
with a multinational
company now.
191
00:07:51,871 --> 00:07:53,839
So leopards
change their spots?
192
00:07:53,907 --> 00:07:54,999
Point taken.
193
00:07:55,075 --> 00:07:56,907
Clarice's cell records.
194
00:07:56,977 --> 00:07:58,706
Got some calls in the
afternoon to Andre Blair,
195
00:07:58,778 --> 00:07:59,904
but the majority
of the calls
196
00:07:59,980 --> 00:08:02,005
are to Isaac Krantz,
"Iced Out lke".
197
00:08:02,549 --> 00:08:03,744
VAN BUREN:
Is he a rapper?
198
00:08:03,817 --> 00:08:05,546
No, he's the king of bling.
199
00:08:05,618 --> 00:08:07,086
Jeweler to the rap world.
200
00:08:07,153 --> 00:08:08,643
Oh, so she was
buying jewelry.
201
00:08:08,722 --> 00:08:11,282
I don't know. Last
call to Ike, 1:00 a.m.
202
00:08:11,825 --> 00:08:13,224
Talk to him.
203
00:08:14,060 --> 00:08:16,085
Last night, I went
to a record release party
204
00:08:16,162 --> 00:08:18,563
for one of my clients,
M.C. Excellence.
205
00:08:18,631 --> 00:08:20,759
Bought an exquisite piece
from me last year.
206
00:08:20,834 --> 00:08:24,168
19 karats of rose diamonds
set in platinum, really nice.
207
00:08:24,237 --> 00:08:25,898
We can talk
in the vault here.
208
00:08:25,972 --> 00:08:27,963
Anybody see you
at this party?
209
00:08:28,041 --> 00:08:31,443
Sure, I could find, probably, 15
or 20 people who'll confirm that.
210
00:08:31,511 --> 00:08:34,139
What was your relationship
with Clarice James?
211
00:08:35,415 --> 00:08:36,473
She was a client.
212
00:08:36,549 --> 00:08:37,778
A client who owed you
a lot of money,
213
00:08:37,851 --> 00:08:39,080
according to
your sales manager.
214
00:08:39,152 --> 00:08:40,916
Well, unfortunately,
she wouldn't be the first.
215
00:08:40,987 --> 00:08:42,113
But we were working
it out.
216
00:08:42,188 --> 00:08:43,246
At 1:00 a.m.?
217
00:08:43,323 --> 00:08:44,449
You have to understand
the rap world
218
00:08:44,524 --> 00:08:45,889
doesn't really keep
banker's hours.
219
00:08:45,959 --> 00:08:47,290
It's 2417.
220
00:08:48,128 --> 00:08:49,596
How much was
she into you for?
221
00:08:49,662 --> 00:08:51,528
A general number,
400 grand.
222
00:08:52,465 --> 00:08:53,660
How were you
working it out?
223
00:08:53,733 --> 00:08:55,531
She had agreed to give
some of the pieces back
224
00:08:55,602 --> 00:08:57,593
and also do some
promotional work for me.
225
00:08:57,670 --> 00:08:59,638
(CELL PHONE RINGS) Well, that
doesn't get you up to 400 grand,
226
00:08:59,706 --> 00:09:01,834
and you had a lot of late
night phone calls from her.
227
00:09:01,908 --> 00:09:03,672
Believe me, I threatened
to sue her for the money,
228
00:09:03,743 --> 00:09:05,768
but she know that would be
a nightmare in the press.
229
00:09:05,845 --> 00:09:07,939
And she begged me
to reconsider, which I did.
230
00:09:08,715 --> 00:09:10,274
I know it's kind of
an odd way to do business,
231
00:09:10,350 --> 00:09:11,340
but it's their game.
232
00:09:11,418 --> 00:09:13,216
I just kind of go
with the flow.
233
00:09:13,620 --> 00:09:14,815
Okay, we'll right be there.
234
00:09:14,888 --> 00:09:15,878
Listen, thank you
for your time.
235
00:09:15,955 --> 00:09:17,081
We'll get back to you.
Oh, sure.
236
00:09:17,157 --> 00:09:18,647
It's the M.E.
Oh, thanks.
237
00:09:19,726 --> 00:09:23,026
Rigor and core temp
has her dead about 12 hours.
238
00:09:23,096 --> 00:09:25,224
Got two .38 slugs
out of her.
239
00:09:25,298 --> 00:09:26,788
Neither worth much
for ballistics.
240
00:09:26,866 --> 00:09:28,334
She's been dead
12 hours?
241
00:09:28,401 --> 00:09:29,391
That's what,
like, 5:00 a.m.?
242
00:09:29,469 --> 00:09:30,766
We were thinking
it might be earlier.
243
00:09:30,837 --> 00:09:32,134
It was 5:00 when she died,
244
00:09:32,205 --> 00:09:34,435
but I'll bet she was shot
much earlier.
245
00:09:35,175 --> 00:09:37,872
Slug in her eighth
thoracic vertebra.
246
00:09:38,378 --> 00:09:40,005
Couldn't move,
couldn't speak.
247
00:09:40,647 --> 00:09:42,911
Only thing
she could do was bleed.
248
00:09:42,982 --> 00:09:45,280
Could've taken her
three hours to die.
249
00:09:46,319 --> 00:09:48,811
Anyone tip you off
to her pregnancy?
250
00:09:49,422 --> 00:09:50,912
How far along?
251
00:09:51,157 --> 00:09:52,488
Six weeks.
252
00:09:54,861 --> 00:09:57,159
Anything in Clarice's phone
records to indicate a pregnancy?
253
00:09:57,230 --> 00:09:58,925
I put a call in
to her gynecologist.
254
00:09:58,998 --> 00:10:01,160
Nothing stuck out
at the time, but now...
255
00:10:01,234 --> 00:10:03,168
What was the name? City
Women's Medical Center.
256
00:10:03,236 --> 00:10:04,897
I worked on a case there
a few years ago.
257
00:10:04,971 --> 00:10:06,166
They were getting
bomb threats.
258
00:10:06,239 --> 00:10:07,263
They do abortions.
259
00:10:07,340 --> 00:10:08,705
You got it.
260
00:10:12,278 --> 00:10:13,905
It really makes me
very nervous
261
00:10:13,980 --> 00:10:15,573
to talk to anyone
about a patient.
262
00:10:15,648 --> 00:10:17,639
This is a murdered patient,
Dr. Rubin.
263
00:10:17,717 --> 00:10:19,151
Who called here
the day she died.
264
00:10:19,219 --> 00:10:20,380
Now we can
get a subpoena,
265
00:10:20,453 --> 00:10:22,547
but it's only
gonna slow us down.
266
00:10:27,594 --> 00:10:29,119
(sums)
267
00:10:29,696 --> 00:10:31,460
CASSADY: Why'd she call?
268
00:10:31,865 --> 00:10:34,527
She had an appointment
to terminate the pregnancy,
269
00:10:34,601 --> 00:10:36,035
and she just backed out.
270
00:10:36,803 --> 00:10:37,895
She say why?
271
00:10:37,971 --> 00:10:40,872
She didn't know what to do.
She needed more time to think.
272
00:10:40,940 --> 00:10:42,465
It had to do
with the baby's father.
273
00:10:42,976 --> 00:10:44,068
The guy didn't know.
274
00:10:44,144 --> 00:10:46,306
He didn't know,
and he was married.
275
00:10:51,751 --> 00:10:53,583
I thought all arrows
pointed to Andre Blair,
276
00:10:53,653 --> 00:10:55,143
but it turns out
he's not married
277
00:10:55,221 --> 00:10:57,087
and he has three kids
by two different women,
278
00:10:57,157 --> 00:10:58,682
neither of whom
he lives with.
279
00:10:58,758 --> 00:11:00,123
Doesn't sound
like a new child
280
00:11:00,193 --> 00:11:01,661
would've presented
much static.
281
00:11:01,728 --> 00:11:03,059
Or it wasn't
about the baby.
282
00:11:03,129 --> 00:11:04,460
Andre talked a lot
about guns.
283
00:11:04,531 --> 00:11:05,965
I can't imagine he wouldn't
have access to one.
284
00:11:06,032 --> 00:11:08,694
So do 40,000
other New Yorkers.
285
00:11:09,068 --> 00:11:10,797
Where are we
on married boyfriends?
286
00:11:10,870 --> 00:11:11,996
There's no boyfriend
on the radar,
287
00:11:12,071 --> 00:11:14,062
but sleeping around a lot
was part of her rap.
288
00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:15,537
You know,
I'm starting to think
289
00:11:15,608 --> 00:11:18,475
her reality and her rap
might not sync up.
290
00:11:18,678 --> 00:11:19,668
Maybe not.
291
00:11:19,746 --> 00:11:21,942
The email C.l.T.U.
sent over.
292
00:11:22,248 --> 00:11:24,774
"There's no one
more beautiful, sexier.
293
00:11:24,851 --> 00:11:26,341
"You make a blind man see.
294
00:11:26,419 --> 00:11:28,387
"You make a dead man..."
and so on and so on.
295
00:11:28,454 --> 00:11:29,683
So who's the sweet talker?
296
00:11:29,756 --> 00:11:30,814
Steven Smith.
297
00:11:30,890 --> 00:11:32,949
Find out if he's married.
298
00:11:33,693 --> 00:11:36,663
I was home with my wife
and baby boy that night.
299
00:11:36,729 --> 00:11:38,424
So you're a good father,
a loyal husband,
300
00:11:38,498 --> 00:11:39,932
and your wife
will confirm this?
301
00:11:39,999 --> 00:11:41,967
I don't see any reason
to get her involved in this.
302
00:11:42,035 --> 00:11:44,265
Hey, man, your ex-girlfriend
was murdered.
303
00:11:44,337 --> 00:11:45,998
We're gonna talk
to your wife.
304
00:11:49,776 --> 00:11:51,210
I was in the city.
305
00:11:51,277 --> 00:11:53,268
A business school buddy
of mine has a place
306
00:11:53,346 --> 00:11:55,144
I use when I need
to work late.
307
00:11:55,215 --> 00:11:57,115
But I did not kill
Clarice.
308
00:11:57,550 --> 00:11:58,949
So why did you just
lie to us?
309
00:12:00,353 --> 00:12:02,082
I was with a prostitute.
310
00:12:02,155 --> 00:12:03,281
If that's the case,
you wouldn't mind
311
00:12:03,356 --> 00:12:04,551
submitting
to a paternity test.
312
00:12:05,158 --> 00:12:06,887
No, wrong.
Clarice wasn't pregnant.
313
00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:08,257
Not by me.
314
00:12:08,328 --> 00:12:09,454
Well, atest
will prove that.
315
00:12:09,529 --> 00:12:10,724
I haven't seen her
in three months.
316
00:12:10,797 --> 00:12:11,855
How pregnant was she?
317
00:12:11,931 --> 00:12:13,956
Are you sure she didn't
mention the pregnancy?
318
00:12:14,033 --> 00:12:15,330
You didn't have any words?
319
00:12:15,401 --> 00:12:16,732
All we talked about
was business.
320
00:12:16,803 --> 00:12:18,237
That was our relationship.
321
00:12:18,304 --> 00:12:20,238
It got sexual twice,
but that was it.
322
00:12:20,807 --> 00:12:22,036
We heard you broke
her heart.
323
00:12:22,108 --> 00:12:24,440
Because I wouldn't support
her record label idea,
324
00:12:24,510 --> 00:12:26,103
not out of love.
325
00:12:26,212 --> 00:12:27,270
She needed backers.
326
00:12:27,347 --> 00:12:29,645
I expressed an interest
maybe to get her into bed,
327
00:12:29,716 --> 00:12:31,480
but then I told her
to self-finance.
328
00:12:31,551 --> 00:12:33,019
She's loaded.
329
00:12:33,086 --> 00:12:34,417
That ain't
what we heard, man.
330
00:12:34,754 --> 00:12:37,155
Have you seen
her safety deposit box?
331
00:12:38,358 --> 00:12:41,123
That dude wasn't kidding.
This is a fortune.
332
00:12:41,527 --> 00:12:43,825
They all have "I & Co."
stamped on them.
333
00:12:43,997 --> 00:12:45,988
That's Iced Out Ike.
334
00:12:46,065 --> 00:12:48,159
He said that Sweet Clarice
owed him 400 grand.
335
00:12:48,234 --> 00:12:49,827
This has gotta be
likeamillion.
336
00:12:49,902 --> 00:12:50,926
At least.
337
00:12:51,004 --> 00:12:52,267
Ain't he married?
338
00:12:52,338 --> 00:12:53,828
With two kids.
339
00:12:55,074 --> 00:12:56,542
Yeah, I recognize
the pieces.
340
00:12:56,609 --> 00:12:58,577
They're obviously mine.
And?
341
00:12:58,645 --> 00:12:59,874
How'd she get 'em?
342
00:12:59,946 --> 00:13:01,778
I don't know.
Maybe she bought them.
343
00:13:01,848 --> 00:13:04,010
I don't really oversee every
transaction in the store.
344
00:13:04,083 --> 00:13:05,517
Well, how's she buying
all these jewels
345
00:13:05,585 --> 00:13:06,984
when she owes you
so much money?
346
00:13:07,053 --> 00:13:09,454
Couldn't tell you. Maybe she
borrowed them from a friend.
347
00:13:09,522 --> 00:13:11,820
You got the sales records
forthese so we can confirm that?
348
00:13:11,891 --> 00:13:13,450
For some of them, sure.
349
00:13:13,526 --> 00:13:15,255
You saying your books
are incomplete?
350
00:13:15,328 --> 00:13:16,727
No, the books are complete,
351
00:13:16,796 --> 00:13:18,389
but we do a lot
of cash transactions
352
00:13:18,464 --> 00:13:20,296
where the buyer
remains nameless.
353
00:13:20,366 --> 00:13:21,856
Oh, isn't that
convenient.
354
00:13:22,435 --> 00:13:23,869
What are you implying?
355
00:13:23,936 --> 00:13:25,233
ED:
M.C. Excellence's party.
356
00:13:25,605 --> 00:13:27,300
Your name wasn't checked off
on the guest list.
357
00:13:27,373 --> 00:13:29,501
Yeah, I know, lwent
as a friend's plus one.
358
00:13:29,876 --> 00:13:31,207
Name of your friend.
359
00:13:31,277 --> 00:13:32,745
You know, I don't think
I like your tone.
360
00:13:33,680 --> 00:13:36,672
Scared we're gonna find out you're
cheating on your wife with Clarice?
361
00:13:36,749 --> 00:13:39,047
(SCOFFS) Listen, you want
to buy some stones?
362
00:13:39,118 --> 00:13:40,950
Fine, we'll talk.
If not, excuse me.
363
00:13:44,257 --> 00:13:46,282
Boss, ran Clarice's
financials.
364
00:13:46,359 --> 00:13:48,418
There's no evidence
of big expenditures.
365
00:13:48,494 --> 00:13:50,986
So the jewels were gifts
from Ike to his girlfriend.
366
00:13:51,064 --> 00:13:52,498
Under the table,
off the books.
367
00:13:52,565 --> 00:13:53,623
So we think.
368
00:13:53,700 --> 00:13:55,998
We'll prove it when we
subpoena his business records.
369
00:13:56,069 --> 00:13:57,298
I don't see enough
for that.
370
00:13:57,370 --> 00:13:59,805
What other evidence do you
have of a relationship?
371
00:13:59,872 --> 00:14:02,398
A lot of phone calls. Photos of
them together at her apartment.
372
00:14:02,475 --> 00:14:04,569
Right, which he'll call
business.
373
00:14:05,144 --> 00:14:07,238
TARU just said Ike's cell
hit on a tower
374
00:14:07,313 --> 00:14:09,247
on East 97th Street
375
00:14:09,315 --> 00:14:10,942
at 1:10 a.m.
the night of the murder.
376
00:14:11,017 --> 00:14:12,246
A block away from
the crime scene,
377
00:14:12,318 --> 00:14:13,410
just after Clarice
got home.
378
00:14:13,486 --> 00:14:14,976
When he said
he was in Battery Park
379
00:14:15,054 --> 00:14:16,351
at a record release party.
380
00:14:16,422 --> 00:14:18,356
And a half hour later,
there were site hits
381
00:14:18,424 --> 00:14:20,950
on White Street
in Tribeca,
382
00:14:21,027 --> 00:14:24,019
right where LexisNexis has
Ike linked to an apartment.
383
00:14:24,097 --> 00:14:25,496
A love nest.
384
00:14:25,565 --> 00:14:27,033
Does this place
have a doorman?
385
00:14:27,100 --> 00:14:28,499
His name is Mike.
He's waiting for us.
386
00:14:28,568 --> 00:14:29,967
On your way.
387
00:14:31,137 --> 00:14:33,367
He came in around 1:30
moving quick.
388
00:14:33,439 --> 00:14:35,066
Didn't respond
to my hello.
389
00:14:35,141 --> 00:14:36,336
Not the first time.
390
00:14:36,409 --> 00:14:38,673
You seen him since then?
Nope.
391
00:14:38,745 --> 00:14:40,839
Was there anything odd
about him that night?
392
00:14:40,913 --> 00:14:42,904
A lot odd about that guy.
393
00:14:43,015 --> 00:14:45,313
Cagey, stiffed me
every holiday,
394
00:14:45,952 --> 00:14:47,147
but nothing I noticed.
395
00:14:47,220 --> 00:14:48,881
Did you hear from him
again that night?
396
00:14:48,955 --> 00:14:51,287
Walked out again
about 20 minutes later.
397
00:14:51,357 --> 00:14:53,382
When he left was there
anything different about him?
398
00:14:53,459 --> 00:14:54,984
Clothes?
Was he carrying anything?
399
00:14:55,361 --> 00:14:56,795
Everything was different.
400
00:14:56,863 --> 00:14:59,855
Walked in dressed to party.
Walked out in a track suit.
401
00:14:59,932 --> 00:15:01,559
And no briefcase.
402
00:15:01,634 --> 00:15:02,829
And again.
403
00:15:02,902 --> 00:15:04,563
No response to "hello."
404
00:15:04,637 --> 00:15:06,765
Okay, thank you
for your time, man.
405
00:15:06,839 --> 00:15:09,206
I'm calling Connie
to get a warrant.
406
00:15:13,179 --> 00:15:15,045
There's nothing but papers
in this briefcase.
407
00:15:15,114 --> 00:15:17,082
Well, there's no gun
in the bedroom
408
00:15:17,150 --> 00:15:18,345
or master bath.
409
00:15:18,418 --> 00:15:19,647
Any blood
on those clothes?
410
00:15:19,719 --> 00:15:22,484
Not at first glance, but I'll
get 'em over to the lab.
411
00:15:24,524 --> 00:15:26,492
You know, it doesn't
look like Ike
412
00:15:26,559 --> 00:15:27,890
spent a whole lot
of time here.
413
00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:29,291
Looks like all he needed
was the bed
414
00:15:29,362 --> 00:15:31,626
and a fully stocked bar.
415
00:15:31,931 --> 00:15:33,797
And a convenient place
to do laundry.
416
00:15:33,866 --> 00:15:35,061
There's not
a washer and dryer.
417
00:15:35,134 --> 00:15:36,727
The building has
a service.
418
00:15:41,374 --> 00:15:43,536
You know, it looks like we might
be hitting a brick wall here.
419
00:15:43,609 --> 00:15:45,304
Un-uh.
Look at this.
420
00:15:45,878 --> 00:15:47,277
Dark spots.
Could be blood.
421
00:15:50,283 --> 00:15:52,308
Can I help you? We need to
speak with your husband.
422
00:15:52,385 --> 00:15:54,149
What's going on?
423
00:15:54,220 --> 00:15:55,585
Okay, what are
you doing here?
424
00:15:55,655 --> 00:15:56,781
GWEN:
You know them?
425
00:15:56,856 --> 00:15:57,948
Got some questions
for you, Ike.
426
00:15:58,024 --> 00:15:59,355
What about?
What's going on?
427
00:15:59,425 --> 00:16:00,915
It's all a big
misunderstanding, okay?
428
00:16:00,993 --> 00:16:02,324
What the hell
is this about?
429
00:16:02,395 --> 00:16:04,090
Hey.
Come here.
430
00:16:04,764 --> 00:16:06,027
We found blood
on your shoe.
431
00:16:06,098 --> 00:16:07,566
Same blood type
as Clarice James.
432
00:16:07,633 --> 00:16:08,759
Now you want to act
like a gentleman,
433
00:16:08,835 --> 00:16:09,859
or do you want me
to tell your wife.
434
00:16:09,936 --> 00:16:12,564
You know what? I'm not gonna say
anything until I talk to my lawyer.
435
00:16:12,638 --> 00:16:14,106
Well, our bracelets
are cheaper than
436
00:16:14,173 --> 00:16:16,665
what you're used to, Ike,
but they'll have to do.
437
00:16:16,776 --> 00:16:19,245
You're under arrest for
the murder of Clarice James.
438
00:16:19,312 --> 00:16:20,802
You have the right
to remain silent.
439
00:16:20,880 --> 00:16:23,815
Anything you say may be used
against you in a court of law.
440
00:16:23,883 --> 00:16:25,908
You have the right to have
an attorney present...
441
00:16:28,988 --> 00:16:31,457
Docket number 0-2-4-1-5-7-5.
442
00:16:31,524 --> 00:16:32,923
People v. Isaac Krantz.
443
00:16:32,992 --> 00:16:34,585
Charge is murder
in the second degree.
444
00:16:34,694 --> 00:16:36,253
How does
the defendant plead?
445
00:16:36,329 --> 00:16:37,421
Not guilty.
446
00:16:37,497 --> 00:16:39,261
Bail?
People seek remand.
447
00:16:39,332 --> 00:16:40,322
Based on what?
448
00:16:40,399 --> 00:16:42,163
The defendant owns a home
in South Africa,
449
00:16:42,235 --> 00:16:43,703
has access
to a private plane,
450
00:16:43,769 --> 00:16:45,396
and millions of dollars
in cash.
451
00:16:45,471 --> 00:16:46,632
Due to the gravity
of the crime,
452
00:16:46,706 --> 00:16:48,105
we believe he's
a significant flight risk.
453
00:16:48,174 --> 00:16:49,767
Mr. Krantz
is an American citizen.
454
00:16:49,842 --> 00:16:51,742
Born and raised
in Westchester County.
455
00:16:51,811 --> 00:16:54,007
Now, despite his wealth
and multiple addresses,
456
00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:57,277
he understands and respects
the American judicial system,
457
00:16:57,350 --> 00:16:59,717
and has no intention of fleeing
the city, let alone the country.
458
00:16:59,785 --> 00:17:01,776
Private jets
and limitless resources
459
00:17:01,854 --> 00:17:03,185
make me nervous,
Counselor.
460
00:17:03,256 --> 00:17:05,122
You can't punish a man
for being successful.
461
00:17:05,424 --> 00:17:07,085
Defendant is remanded.
462
00:17:07,159 --> 00:17:08,593
Remanded. What the
hell does that mean?
463
00:17:08,661 --> 00:17:10,459
You're gonna sit in jail
until trial.
464
00:17:10,530 --> 00:17:12,020
(GAVEL POUNDS)
Next case.
465
00:17:13,065 --> 00:17:14,692
I assume that we can
prove that Ike
466
00:17:14,767 --> 00:17:16,565
is the father
of the unborn child.
467
00:17:16,636 --> 00:17:18,400
The paternity test
just came back.
468
00:17:18,471 --> 00:17:19,529
It's a match.
469
00:17:19,605 --> 00:17:21,835
Okay, so he's the father.
That's great.
470
00:17:22,408 --> 00:17:24,399
But it doesn't mean
he killed the mother.
471
00:17:24,477 --> 00:17:26,741
He lied to Detectives
Cassady and Green
472
00:17:26,812 --> 00:17:29,247
about his relationship
with the victim.
473
00:17:29,315 --> 00:17:31,306
He has no credible alibi.
474
00:17:31,417 --> 00:17:34,114
And his fingerprints are
all over the crime scene.
475
00:17:34,186 --> 00:17:36,348
And he made five phone
calls to the victim
476
00:17:36,422 --> 00:17:37,787
on the night
of the murder,
477
00:17:37,857 --> 00:17:40,326
all prior to her
approximate time of death.
478
00:17:40,726 --> 00:17:42,626
Can we put him
near the crime scene?
479
00:17:42,695 --> 00:17:44,561
According to TARU,
one of the calls was made
480
00:17:44,630 --> 00:17:46,655
from about a block away
at 1:10 a.m.
481
00:17:46,732 --> 00:17:47,858
What about
the bloody shoe?
482
00:17:47,934 --> 00:17:50,096
Blood type's a match,
but the sample's small,
483
00:17:50,169 --> 00:17:52,137
so we're still waiting
for a DNA result.
484
00:17:52,338 --> 00:17:53,430
Motive?
485
00:17:53,506 --> 00:17:54,496
Wealthy married man.
486
00:17:54,574 --> 00:17:56,235
Beautiful wife,
beautiful house,
487
00:17:56,309 --> 00:17:57,936
two beautiful kids.
488
00:17:58,010 --> 00:18:01,105
And a pregnant, bankrupt
rapper from Bed Stuy
489
00:18:01,180 --> 00:18:03,205
who refused to get
an abortion.
490
00:18:03,282 --> 00:18:05,080
Walk on the wild side
gone bad.
491
00:18:05,718 --> 00:18:06,844
Pretty much.
492
00:18:06,919 --> 00:18:08,318
Makes sense.
493
00:18:09,188 --> 00:18:12,214
As long as Ike's life was as
perfect as you say it was.
494
00:18:17,763 --> 00:18:20,130
Ike is...
How do I say this?
495
00:18:21,567 --> 00:18:24,002
He's the kid who got his ass
kicked in high school,
496
00:18:24,070 --> 00:18:26,095
didn't get into
the cool frat in college,
497
00:18:26,172 --> 00:18:28,937
and then hits it big
in the diamond business.
498
00:18:29,008 --> 00:18:31,943
So he's making up for lost
time, if you know what I mean.
499
00:18:32,011 --> 00:18:34,207
Like Revenge of the Nerds
type of thing.
500
00:18:36,015 --> 00:18:37,813
Does Ike seem to be
in love with his wife?
501
00:18:37,883 --> 00:18:40,181
All he does is talk about
how great she is.
502
00:18:40,252 --> 00:18:41,515
It's like he can't believe
503
00:18:41,587 --> 00:18:43,021
that he actually
married someone like her.
504
00:18:43,089 --> 00:18:45,251
Beautiful, Ivy League,
a doctor's daughter.
505
00:18:45,691 --> 00:18:46,954
What about Clarice?
506
00:18:47,026 --> 00:18:48,255
I don't know anything
about that.
507
00:18:48,327 --> 00:18:49,795
Did you ever see her
come to the store?
508
00:18:49,862 --> 00:18:52,422
No, Ike handles all
the celebrity stuff himself.
509
00:18:53,633 --> 00:18:55,123
Does Ike enjoy
being a father?
510
00:18:55,368 --> 00:18:56,529
Loves it.
511
00:18:56,602 --> 00:18:59,071
He's even on the board
of his kids' preschool.
512
00:18:59,138 --> 00:19:01,607
Cost him 100 grand,
but he didn't care.
513
00:19:02,041 --> 00:19:03,600
Did he ever mention
anything about a divorce?
514
00:19:04,176 --> 00:19:05,337
Never.
515
00:19:06,345 --> 00:19:07,403
Thank you.
516
00:19:07,480 --> 00:19:09,244
Hey.
Learn anything?
517
00:19:09,782 --> 00:19:11,147
(CELL PHONE RINGS)
Yeah, never date the guy
518
00:19:11,217 --> 00:19:12,378
who got picked on
in high school.
519
00:19:12,451 --> 00:19:14,283
Especially
if he gets rich.
520
00:19:14,353 --> 00:19:15,616
Rubirosa.
521
00:19:17,089 --> 00:19:18,284
Great.
522
00:19:19,125 --> 00:19:22,425
The blood on Ike's shoes is a
DNA match for Clarice James.
523
00:19:22,495 --> 00:19:23,963
Sounds like game over.
524
00:19:24,030 --> 00:19:26,260
Yeah, I'll set up a meeting
with Ike and his attorney.
525
00:19:26,332 --> 00:19:28,494
Maybe we can convince them
to take a plea.
526
00:19:29,902 --> 00:19:31,768
If you plead guilty today,
527
00:19:31,837 --> 00:19:33,862
we'll recommend 15 years.
528
00:19:34,440 --> 00:19:37,876
If we go to trial,
we'll recommend 25 to life.
529
00:19:38,144 --> 00:19:40,579
Ten years is
a long time, Mr. Krantz.
530
00:19:40,646 --> 00:19:42,842
Why in God's name would he plead
guilty to a crime he didn't commit?
531
00:19:42,915 --> 00:19:44,076
I'll take the deal.
532
00:19:44,150 --> 00:19:45,276
Ike, what do you mean...
533
00:19:45,351 --> 00:19:46,546
I just want to get
this over with.
534
00:19:46,619 --> 00:19:47,643
We should talk
about this private.
535
00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:49,381
Hey, listen,
I'm not going to trial.
536
00:19:49,455 --> 00:19:51,150
I can't.
My family.
537
00:19:52,892 --> 00:19:54,656
I just... I just
want to plead guilty,
538
00:19:54,727 --> 00:19:56,821
do my time and
get on with my life.
539
00:19:59,065 --> 00:20:00,464
What happened the night
of the murder?
540
00:20:03,002 --> 00:20:04,197
Well...
541
00:20:04,537 --> 00:20:06,631
Clarice and I
had been arguing.
542
00:20:07,707 --> 00:20:08,902
She wanted to
have the baby.
543
00:20:08,974 --> 00:20:10,806
I didn't
for obvious reasons.
544
00:20:12,712 --> 00:20:15,682
But she just wouldn't
listen to a word said.
545
00:20:15,748 --> 00:20:18,240
She just kept talking
about the baby and money.
546
00:20:18,317 --> 00:20:21,218
She wanted
$50,000 a month.
547
00:20:21,821 --> 00:20:23,186
I couldn't believe it.
548
00:20:23,255 --> 00:20:24,484
I... I called her...
549
00:20:24,557 --> 00:20:27,492
Well, I said some pretty
nasty things, and...
550
00:20:29,795 --> 00:20:31,820
She hit me
and I shot her.
551
00:20:33,099 --> 00:20:34,294
Where's the gun?
552
00:20:36,635 --> 00:20:38,729
I threw it into the Hudson.
553
00:20:40,873 --> 00:20:43,968
I'll schedule an allocution
hearing for tomorrow morning.
554
00:20:51,584 --> 00:20:52,676
JUDGE BRADLEY:
Mr. Krantz,
555
00:20:52,752 --> 00:20:54,982
you wish to plead guilty
to the charge of murder
556
00:20:55,054 --> 00:20:56,078
in the second degree.
557
00:20:56,155 --> 00:20:57,281
Yes, sir.
558
00:20:57,356 --> 00:20:59,723
And you are pleading guilty
of your own accord?
559
00:21:00,159 --> 00:21:01,183
Yes.
560
00:21:01,260 --> 00:21:03,251
You killed Clarice James.
561
00:21:05,698 --> 00:21:06,824
Mr. Krantz,
562
00:21:07,933 --> 00:21:10,595
you killed Clarice James,
is that correct?
563
00:21:10,669 --> 00:21:11,727
Yes.
564
00:21:12,872 --> 00:21:14,601
Was it your intent
to kill her?
565
00:21:15,508 --> 00:21:16,532
No.
566
00:21:17,143 --> 00:21:19,703
Mr. Krantz, you're pleading
guilty to second degree murder.
567
00:21:19,779 --> 00:21:21,941
That means you must
have intended
568
00:21:22,014 --> 00:21:23,539
to kill Ms. James.
Right.
569
00:21:23,616 --> 00:21:26,551
Or you acted with a depraved
indifference to human life.
570
00:21:26,619 --> 00:21:29,748
Fine, I intended to kill her.
Is that better?
571
00:21:29,822 --> 00:21:31,551
I'm not concerned
about "better," Mr. Krantz.
572
00:21:31,624 --> 00:21:32,750
I just want the truth.
573
00:21:32,825 --> 00:21:35,419
Okay, I... I intended
to kill her.
574
00:21:36,162 --> 00:21:37,254
Okay.
575
00:21:39,465 --> 00:21:40,796
I'd like to know
what happened
576
00:21:40,866 --> 00:21:42,265
the night you shot
Ms. James.
577
00:21:43,002 --> 00:21:44,026
What happened?
578
00:21:44,103 --> 00:21:45,264
Yes, just walk me
through the events
579
00:21:45,337 --> 00:21:46,896
leading up to the shooting, Mr.
Krantz.
580
00:21:47,206 --> 00:21:48,332
What time you got there,
581
00:21:48,407 --> 00:21:49,841
what you were
arguing about,
582
00:21:49,909 --> 00:21:51,809
where the gun was,
where you shot her,
583
00:21:51,877 --> 00:21:53,140
what you did afterwards.
584
00:21:54,413 --> 00:21:56,040
I was very upset.
585
00:21:56,115 --> 00:21:57,583
Uh, I thought she was
gonna have an abortion.
586
00:21:58,551 --> 00:22:00,178
And, uh, we were fighting,
587
00:22:00,252 --> 00:22:01,981
and she slapped me.
588
00:22:02,388 --> 00:22:04,516
L, I pushed her.
She slapped me again.
589
00:22:04,590 --> 00:22:06,251
I punched her
in the face.
590
00:22:06,926 --> 00:22:08,485
And she fell down
and hit her head,
591
00:22:08,561 --> 00:22:09,824
and that's
when I shot her.
592
00:22:10,129 --> 00:22:11,119
Where?
593
00:22:12,164 --> 00:22:14,656
(HESITANTLY) I'm not sure.
In the head, I think.
594
00:22:15,601 --> 00:22:18,502
Your Honor, can we discuss
this matter in chambers?
595
00:22:20,573 --> 00:22:21,972
What the hell
is going on here?
596
00:22:22,041 --> 00:22:23,338
I'm just trying
to plead guilty.
597
00:22:23,409 --> 00:22:25,901
You're trying, Mr. Krantz?
What does that mean?
598
00:22:25,978 --> 00:22:27,673
Look, I don't know
what you want me to say.
599
00:22:27,746 --> 00:22:29,840
Did you kill Clarice James,
yes or no?
600
00:22:29,915 --> 00:22:30,939
Yes!
601
00:22:31,016 --> 00:22:32,381
You punched her in the face.
Mmm-hmm.
602
00:22:32,451 --> 00:22:34,215
She fell to the ground,
you shot her in the head.
603
00:22:34,854 --> 00:22:35,912
Yeah, something like that.
604
00:22:35,988 --> 00:22:37,183
Something like that?
605
00:22:37,256 --> 00:22:38,382
What is the problem here?
606
00:22:38,457 --> 00:22:40,425
The problem, Mr. Krantz,
is that your story
607
00:22:40,492 --> 00:22:42,017
doesn't make
any damn sense.
608
00:22:42,161 --> 00:22:43,788
There's no evidence
Ms. James
609
00:22:43,863 --> 00:22:47,231
was struck in the face or
head prior to her death.
610
00:22:47,299 --> 00:22:49,597
Second, she was shot
in the chest.
611
00:22:49,702 --> 00:22:51,295
Well, it all happened
really fast, you know?
612
00:22:51,370 --> 00:22:52,565
There was a lot of
blood and yelling.
613
00:22:52,638 --> 00:22:54,003
(SHOUTING) Did you kill
Clarice James?
614
00:22:55,174 --> 00:22:57,666
Will you please
just let me go to jail?
615
00:22:57,843 --> 00:22:59,402
Yes or no,
Mr. Krantz?
616
00:23:07,119 --> 00:23:08,143
No.
617
00:23:10,990 --> 00:23:12,549
Then why are you trying
to plead guilty?
618
00:23:14,126 --> 00:23:15,753
Because I have no choice.
619
00:23:15,828 --> 00:23:16,989
Excuse me?
620
00:23:20,666 --> 00:23:21,690
The man who shot her,
621
00:23:21,767 --> 00:23:23,428
the man who really
shot her,
622
00:23:24,236 --> 00:23:25,863
said that if I testified
against him
623
00:23:25,938 --> 00:23:27,872
or went to the police,
that he'd kill my wife
624
00:23:27,940 --> 00:23:29,101
and my two children.
625
00:23:29,174 --> 00:23:30,869
What's this
person's name?
626
00:23:35,614 --> 00:23:37,104
It's Andre Blair.
627
00:23:37,449 --> 00:23:39,440
The music producer?
Yes.
628
00:23:39,518 --> 00:23:41,612
The music producer
shot her, not you?
629
00:23:42,755 --> 00:23:43,779
That's correct.
630
00:23:43,856 --> 00:23:45,290
But you want
to plead guilty.
631
00:23:46,792 --> 00:23:49,557
I shouldn't have been involved
with Clarice in the first place.
632
00:23:49,895 --> 00:23:51,226
It's my fault
that I was there.
633
00:23:51,297 --> 00:23:52,594
I saw him shoot her.
634
00:23:52,665 --> 00:23:53,928
I'm not gonna
endanger my family.
635
00:23:53,999 --> 00:23:56,195
I'm not gonna
ruin their lives.
636
00:23:56,268 --> 00:23:57,963
Your guilty plea
is denied.
637
00:23:58,671 --> 00:24:00,537
The defendant
will remain in custody
638
00:24:00,606 --> 00:24:03,337
until you sort this mess out
and get back to me.
639
00:24:08,314 --> 00:24:09,748
A man so riddled with fear
640
00:24:09,815 --> 00:24:11,613
that he tries to confess
to another man's murder?
641
00:24:11,684 --> 00:24:12,845
It's possible.
642
00:24:12,918 --> 00:24:14,147
Fifteen years on the inside
643
00:24:14,219 --> 00:24:15,914
is a long time
for a diamond merchant.
644
00:24:15,988 --> 00:24:17,149
He's either brave...
645
00:24:17,222 --> 00:24:18,747
Or really,
really terrified.
646
00:24:18,824 --> 00:24:20,189
Look into
this music producer.
647
00:24:20,259 --> 00:24:22,591
See if Ike's story
makes any sense.
648
00:24:24,029 --> 00:24:25,360
I don't talk about Andre.
649
00:24:25,431 --> 00:24:28,264
His business is his business,
and nothing happened.
650
00:24:28,500 --> 00:24:29,729
Leave them drums
on the truck.
651
00:24:29,802 --> 00:24:31,463
Yeah?
We hear different.
652
00:24:31,537 --> 00:24:34,029
The police say you had trouble
over music publishing rights,
653
00:24:34,106 --> 00:24:36,131
and Andre hung you
out awindow.
654
00:24:36,208 --> 00:24:37,437
He says you're friends.
655
00:24:37,509 --> 00:24:40,137
And friends like us don't
talk about other friends.
656
00:24:40,212 --> 00:24:41,646
They do under subpoena.
657
00:24:41,714 --> 00:24:43,910
(SCOFFS) Fine, whatever.
Throw me a subpoena.
658
00:24:43,983 --> 00:24:45,781
I'll deny everything
under oath.
659
00:24:46,251 --> 00:24:48,618
True or false.
Andre has a temper.
660
00:24:49,355 --> 00:24:50,652
So people say.
661
00:24:50,723 --> 00:24:52,919
They also say
he gets violent.
662
00:24:56,628 --> 00:24:57,993
Here's the story.
663
00:24:58,063 --> 00:24:59,553
Ask me to swear
on a bible,
664
00:24:59,631 --> 00:25:01,725
I say Andre's the
sweetest, kindest brother
665
00:25:01,800 --> 00:25:02,824
on God's Earth.
666
00:25:02,901 --> 00:25:04,426
We straight on that?
667
00:25:04,503 --> 00:25:05,732
Yeah, we're straight.
668
00:25:06,605 --> 00:25:08,164
He was gonna
come by my club.
669
00:25:08,240 --> 00:25:09,571
Hear some open
freestyles.
670
00:25:09,641 --> 00:25:12,611
He never shows.
I look bad to my people.
671
00:25:12,711 --> 00:25:14,941
I go to his office.
I say, "Hey, what's up?"
672
00:25:15,014 --> 00:25:16,345
Six bottles of Dom P.
673
00:25:16,415 --> 00:25:18,884
I keep his table open all night.
It ain't right.
674
00:25:18,951 --> 00:25:21,215
He brings me in a room,
hangs me out a window.
675
00:25:21,920 --> 00:25:23,513
Andre said it was
a publicity stunt.
676
00:25:23,589 --> 00:25:26,490
Yeah, my broken arm
didn't make Page Six.
677
00:25:27,826 --> 00:25:29,123
Titanium rod.
678
00:25:29,194 --> 00:25:31,959
I pack a doctor's note to go
through airport detectors.
679
00:25:32,031 --> 00:25:33,294
And you didn't
file charges.
680
00:25:33,365 --> 00:25:34,855
Neither did Baby X.
681
00:25:34,933 --> 00:25:36,924
I hear he put
a gun between her legs.
682
00:25:37,002 --> 00:25:39,630
She signed her contract
in five seconds.
683
00:25:39,905 --> 00:25:41,236
She'll deny it
under oath too.
684
00:25:41,874 --> 00:25:42,898
He broke your arm,
685
00:25:42,975 --> 00:25:45,171
but he told the cops you went
to his Christmas party.
686
00:25:45,477 --> 00:25:47,343
Andre invites, you go.
687
00:25:47,613 --> 00:25:48,808
Put your nose out.
688
00:25:48,881 --> 00:25:51,407
See how many deals
he closes with a gun.
689
00:25:51,483 --> 00:25:53,076
Baby X, Outlaw.
690
00:25:53,752 --> 00:25:56,050
But we all got
the same story.
691
00:25:56,121 --> 00:25:57,611
We love Andre.
692
00:25:58,123 --> 00:25:59,750
Does that include
Sweet Clarice?
693
00:26:01,026 --> 00:26:03,586
What do you think he'll say
when you ask him?
694
00:26:04,630 --> 00:26:06,496
I don't know a damn thing
about Clarice's murder.
695
00:26:06,565 --> 00:26:08,294
Not a damn thing,
hear me?
696
00:26:08,367 --> 00:26:10,301
Where were you
the night she was killed?
697
00:26:10,369 --> 00:26:11,393
Where were you?
698
00:26:11,470 --> 00:26:13,029
I'm not a suspect.
699
00:26:13,105 --> 00:26:14,197
Neither am I.
700
00:26:14,273 --> 00:26:15,763
You're sure
acting like one.
701
00:26:15,841 --> 00:26:19,368
Why is that? 'Cause I'm not rolling
over, cooperating with the man?
702
00:26:19,912 --> 00:26:20,902
All we want to do...
703
00:26:20,979 --> 00:26:22,276
I know what you want to do.
704
00:26:22,347 --> 00:26:24,475
Lynch the black man
for a murder he didn't commit
705
00:26:24,550 --> 00:26:26,416
and get the white Jew
a free pass.
706
00:26:26,485 --> 00:26:27,748
We just want to know
where you were
707
00:26:27,820 --> 00:26:28,844
so we can clear
this mess up.
708
00:26:28,921 --> 00:26:30,184
This isn't
a black-white thing.
709
00:26:30,255 --> 00:26:32,883
It's always a black-white
thing, sweetie, always.
710
00:26:32,958 --> 00:26:35,859
We can subpoena phone records,
credit cards receipts...
711
00:26:35,994 --> 00:26:38,156
Unless you came here
to arrest my black ass,
712
00:26:38,230 --> 00:26:40,528
get the hell
out of my office.
713
00:26:40,599 --> 00:26:41,657
Now.
714
00:26:43,035 --> 00:26:44,025
Don't make any sense.
715
00:26:44,103 --> 00:26:47,129
If he was guilty, would he
throw us out of his office?
716
00:26:47,206 --> 00:26:48,332
No, he'd be polite
717
00:26:48,407 --> 00:26:50,239
and try and point us
in another direction.
718
00:26:50,309 --> 00:26:52,710
He's been very successful
as a bully.
719
00:26:52,778 --> 00:26:55,110
In business, but you can't
actually believe
720
00:26:55,180 --> 00:26:56,306
that he's gonna
bully you.
721
00:26:56,381 --> 00:26:59,112
Why not? It's been working
for him a long time.
722
00:26:59,184 --> 00:27:01,710
You heard him. He doesn't want
to roll over for the man.
723
00:27:01,787 --> 00:27:03,312
Well, he better roll over
for someone,
724
00:27:03,388 --> 00:27:07,222
or he's gonna end up with a
charge of second degree murder.
725
00:27:08,727 --> 00:27:11,389
Jack, Andre Blair
withdrew $600
726
00:27:11,463 --> 00:27:14,728
from an ATM three blocks from
Clarice James' brownstone
727
00:27:14,800 --> 00:27:16,996
at 1:20 a.m. on the night
of the murder.
728
00:27:17,069 --> 00:27:18,400
He told detectives
he was hanging out
729
00:27:18,470 --> 00:27:19,767
at his club in SoHo
all night.
730
00:27:20,339 --> 00:27:21,397
Anything else?
731
00:27:21,473 --> 00:27:23,532
We found an email
he wrote her a month ago.
732
00:27:23,609 --> 00:27:24,974
"Quit sweating my ass
about the cash,
733
00:27:25,043 --> 00:27:26,772
"'cause I'm about
to lose my patience."
734
00:27:27,279 --> 00:27:29,304
Definitely sounds like
there was some bad blood,
735
00:27:29,381 --> 00:27:31,008
but without Ike's testimony...
(TELEPHONE RINGS)
736
00:27:31,083 --> 00:27:33,108
...it's just that,
bad blood.
737
00:27:34,253 --> 00:27:35,414
McCoy.
738
00:27:36,688 --> 00:27:38,588
Right.
Be right there.
739
00:27:40,392 --> 00:27:42,759
Ike got stabbed
in the bathroom at Rikers
740
00:27:42,828 --> 00:27:46,355
two hours ago,
twice, in the back.
741
00:27:51,570 --> 00:27:53,038
Look, all I know is
I was taking a leak
742
00:27:53,105 --> 00:27:54,971
and somebodyjumped me
from behind.
743
00:27:55,507 --> 00:27:57,407
You didn't see
who the assailant was?
744
00:27:57,476 --> 00:27:59,535
No, whoever it was just
pushed me against the wall
745
00:27:59,611 --> 00:28:00,601
and stabbed me.
746
00:28:00,679 --> 00:28:01,771
He say
anything to you?
747
00:28:01,847 --> 00:28:03,713
Yeah, he said,
"This is for Andre."
748
00:28:04,249 --> 00:28:05,444
Andre Blair.
749
00:28:05,517 --> 00:28:06,814
I'm telling you,
this guy wants to kill me
750
00:28:06,885 --> 00:28:08,979
whether I keep
my mouth shut or not.
751
00:28:09,054 --> 00:28:10,954
If you cooperate and
you're telling the truth,
752
00:28:11,023 --> 00:28:13,390
we can put you and your
family in protective custody.
753
00:28:14,526 --> 00:28:15,755
What away to live.
754
00:28:15,827 --> 00:28:17,488
Better than
the alternative.
755
00:28:19,498 --> 00:28:21,159
Andre's a bad guy.
756
00:28:21,533 --> 00:28:22,659
He's a murderer.
757
00:28:22,734 --> 00:28:25,567
He shot Clarice right in front
of me like it was nothing.
758
00:28:26,471 --> 00:28:27,734
Of course
I'm gonna cooperate.
759
00:28:28,574 --> 00:28:29,803
Why not?
760
00:28:30,108 --> 00:28:32,304
Tell us what happened
the night of the murder.
761
00:28:32,377 --> 00:28:34,573
He and Clarice were
arguing about profits
762
00:28:34,646 --> 00:28:36,375
from her latest CD.
763
00:28:36,548 --> 00:28:38,607
She said that she knew
he was running drugs
764
00:28:38,684 --> 00:28:39,947
and washing money,
and hejust
765
00:28:40,018 --> 00:28:41,713
pulled out a gun
and shot her.
766
00:28:42,487 --> 00:28:44,046
Why didn't he kill you?
767
00:28:46,558 --> 00:28:48,959
Because I help him out
from time to time.
768
00:28:49,027 --> 00:28:50,222
Selling diamonds.
769
00:28:51,063 --> 00:28:52,963
You help him launder
his drug profits.
770
00:28:53,298 --> 00:28:54,663
I sell him diamonds
for cash.
771
00:28:54,733 --> 00:28:56,132
That's all I know.
772
00:28:56,201 --> 00:28:58,135
You willing
to testify to this?
773
00:28:58,203 --> 00:28:59,671
Well, yeah.
774
00:28:59,738 --> 00:29:00,762
If you help me
with the whole
775
00:29:00,839 --> 00:29:02,830
selling diamonds
for cash thing, sure.
776
00:29:06,712 --> 00:29:08,578
We'll get back to you.
777
00:29:12,117 --> 00:29:15,087
My client had nothing
to do with this murder.
778
00:29:15,153 --> 00:29:16,382
Nothing.
779
00:29:16,521 --> 00:29:19,422
Then why do you refuse
to give us an alibi?
780
00:29:19,691 --> 00:29:22,319
People aren't required to prove
their innocence, Mr. McCoy.
781
00:29:22,394 --> 00:29:25,386
I assume you're aware of this
fairly well known legal principle.
782
00:29:25,464 --> 00:29:27,125
I'm trying to do
your client a favor.
783
00:29:27,199 --> 00:29:28,223
(SCOFFS) Favor.
784
00:29:28,300 --> 00:29:29,358
RUBIROSA:
We have an eyewitness.
785
00:29:29,434 --> 00:29:30,424
You mean
murder defendant.
786
00:29:30,502 --> 00:29:31,901
An eyewitness
willing to testify
787
00:29:31,970 --> 00:29:33,870
that your client
shot Clarice James
788
00:29:33,939 --> 00:29:35,429
over a financial dispute.
789
00:29:36,041 --> 00:29:38,567
We're just trying to give him the
chance to tell us we're crazy.
790
00:29:38,644 --> 00:29:40,373
My client is
an innocent man.
791
00:29:40,445 --> 00:29:44,439
Two felony convictions.
Six years in Greenhaven.
792
00:29:44,516 --> 00:29:46,314
His music glorifies murder,
793
00:29:46,385 --> 00:29:48,149
rape, degrading sex.
794
00:29:48,553 --> 00:29:50,419
Yeah, he's
a model citizen.
795
00:29:51,490 --> 00:29:52,889
Kiss my ass.
796
00:29:58,764 --> 00:30:02,394
So the victim knew that Ike and
Andre Blair were cleaning money.
797
00:30:02,467 --> 00:30:04,629
She got into an argument
with Andre Blair
798
00:30:04,703 --> 00:30:06,262
and threatened to out him.
799
00:30:06,338 --> 00:30:07,897
Sounds like
motive to me.
800
00:30:08,707 --> 00:30:10,471
What other evidence
do we have?
801
00:30:10,842 --> 00:30:12,867
He was three blocks
from the crime scene,
802
00:30:12,944 --> 00:30:14,537
at or near
the time of death.
803
00:30:14,613 --> 00:30:16,604
He lied to detectives
about his alibi.
804
00:30:17,115 --> 00:30:20,278
His fingerprints were all
over Clarice's house.
805
00:30:20,552 --> 00:30:21,951
We searched his apartment
806
00:30:22,020 --> 00:30:24,114
and found three boxes
of ammunition.
807
00:30:24,189 --> 00:30:26,317
The same make and caliber
as the bullets
808
00:30:26,391 --> 00:30:27,790
that killed her,
809
00:30:27,859 --> 00:30:30,954
and, of course,
the eyewitness.
810
00:30:31,997 --> 00:30:34,557
An eyewitness who's been
indicted for the same crime.
811
00:30:34,633 --> 00:30:36,658
Who tried to plead guilty
to the same crime.
812
00:30:36,768 --> 00:30:39,066
Because he was terrified
of Andre Blair.
813
00:30:39,137 --> 00:30:41,003
Turns out
for good reason.
814
00:30:41,073 --> 00:30:42,871
So you buy Ike's story?
815
00:30:42,941 --> 00:30:43,931
Ike has no record.
816
00:30:44,009 --> 00:30:45,875
Blair has a five-page
rap sheet.
817
00:30:46,211 --> 00:30:48,908
Yeah, but he's also been clean
for the past five years.
818
00:30:48,980 --> 00:30:50,880
He runs a successful
record label.
819
00:30:50,949 --> 00:30:52,212
Makes millions of dollars.
820
00:30:52,284 --> 00:30:54,946
And he's been
completely uncooperative.
821
00:30:55,020 --> 00:30:56,419
Yeah, but why would
he throw it all away
822
00:30:56,488 --> 00:30:59,355
over $200,000 dispute
with Clarice James?
823
00:30:59,758 --> 00:31:01,522
Some people don't change.
824
00:31:01,593 --> 00:31:02,958
Or maybe
he's just had bad luck
825
00:31:03,028 --> 00:31:04,120
with authorities
in the past.
826
00:31:04,196 --> 00:31:06,631
Which he's glamorized the hell
out of on countless albums.
827
00:31:06,698 --> 00:31:09,030
I'm looking at the evidence,
Connie, that's it.
828
00:31:09,368 --> 00:31:10,460
Just the evidence.
829
00:31:10,535 --> 00:31:12,162
BRANCH: And you think
that points to Blair?
830
00:31:12,237 --> 00:31:13,398
Yes.
Fine.
831
00:31:14,139 --> 00:31:16,301
Dismiss the murder indictment
against Ike
832
00:31:16,375 --> 00:31:17,968
and move forward
against Blair.
833
00:31:18,377 --> 00:31:19,538
But you better hope that
834
00:31:19,611 --> 00:31:22,103
that diamond seller
holds up on the stand.
835
00:31:26,585 --> 00:31:29,646
JACK: What was your relationship
with Clarice James?
836
00:31:29,721 --> 00:31:33,180
We were dating.
Well, lovers, I suppose.
837
00:31:34,092 --> 00:31:36,186
What happened the night
of the murder?
838
00:31:36,261 --> 00:31:38,628
Clarice and I had
a meeting with Andre Blair
839
00:31:39,064 --> 00:31:40,532
to talk about
their financial dispute.
840
00:31:41,133 --> 00:31:42,760
What was
the dispute about?
841
00:31:42,834 --> 00:31:45,166
Money, music royalties,
that sort of thing.
842
00:31:45,237 --> 00:31:47,899
I tried to act as a
mediator, if you will.
843
00:31:48,373 --> 00:31:50,137
When did Mr. Blair arrive?
844
00:31:50,208 --> 00:31:51,767
A little after 1:00.
845
00:31:51,843 --> 00:31:54,403
He seemed
very impatient, jumpy.
846
00:31:55,514 --> 00:31:57,846
I'm pretty sure
he was high on something.
847
00:31:58,617 --> 00:31:59,743
What happened next?
848
00:31:59,818 --> 00:32:01,547
Clarice and Mr. Blair
started arguing.
849
00:32:01,620 --> 00:32:03,145
He was very upset.
850
00:32:03,221 --> 00:32:05,417
Said she wouldn't
end up with a dime.
851
00:32:05,490 --> 00:32:06,753
That's when she brought up
852
00:32:06,825 --> 00:32:08,350
the drug dealing
and the money laundering.
853
00:32:08,827 --> 00:32:09,988
What did she say?
854
00:32:10,061 --> 00:32:11,529
She said that
if she wasn't paid
855
00:32:11,596 --> 00:32:13,564
everything she was owed,
856
00:32:13,632 --> 00:32:17,000
that she would tell the cops
that he was dealing drugs
857
00:32:17,068 --> 00:32:19,537
and laundering money
through diamond wholesalers.
858
00:32:20,439 --> 00:32:21,838
What happened next?
859
00:32:23,275 --> 00:32:24,743
He shot her in the chest.
860
00:32:25,911 --> 00:32:28,209
What did the defendant say
after he shot her?
861
00:32:30,882 --> 00:32:33,249
He called her
a stupid bitch.
862
00:32:34,853 --> 00:32:36,844
And then he put the gun
in my mouth
863
00:32:36,922 --> 00:32:39,914
and told me
that he'd kill me,
864
00:32:40,425 --> 00:32:41,688
my wife,
and my two children
865
00:32:41,760 --> 00:32:43,956
if I ever told anybody
what had happened.
866
00:32:44,029 --> 00:32:45,963
You're positive
the defendant is the person
867
00:32:46,031 --> 00:32:47,590
who shot Clarice James?
868
00:32:54,639 --> 00:32:56,232
Yes, absolutely.
869
00:32:56,575 --> 00:32:58,373
No further questions.
870
00:33:01,913 --> 00:33:03,904
The mother
of your unborn baby
871
00:33:05,383 --> 00:33:07,181
is shot in the chest.
872
00:33:08,220 --> 00:33:09,449
You don't call
the police.
873
00:33:10,121 --> 00:33:12,419
I was in shock.
I didn't know what to do.
874
00:33:12,491 --> 00:33:14,016
Didn't call an ambulance
either, did you?
875
00:33:14,960 --> 00:33:16,018
No.
876
00:33:16,094 --> 00:33:17,653
Just left your lover,
877
00:33:17,729 --> 00:33:20,061
the mother
of your unborn child,
878
00:33:20,131 --> 00:33:21,326
on the floor,
879
00:33:21,399 --> 00:33:23,094
bleeding out
for several hours.
880
00:33:23,168 --> 00:33:25,637
Look, I, lthought
she was already dead.
881
00:33:26,505 --> 00:33:27,495
You were arrested
882
00:33:27,572 --> 00:33:29,040
for murdering
Clarice James, correct?
883
00:33:29,875 --> 00:33:30,933
Yes.
884
00:33:31,109 --> 00:33:32,543
You actually pleaded guilty
885
00:33:32,611 --> 00:33:33,703
to murdering Clarice James,
didn't you?
886
00:33:33,778 --> 00:33:34,768
Objection.
887
00:33:34,846 --> 00:33:36,177
Overruled.
888
00:33:37,849 --> 00:33:39,044
I tried to plead guilty
889
00:33:39,117 --> 00:33:41,848
because I thought
the defendant, Andre Blair,
890
00:33:43,255 --> 00:33:45,781
would kill my wife
and my two children.
891
00:33:46,691 --> 00:33:47,954
Your family's
still alive, right?
892
00:33:50,829 --> 00:33:52,354
Yes, thank God.
893
00:33:54,499 --> 00:33:55,864
Nothing further.
894
00:34:01,406 --> 00:34:03,397
Mr. Blair,
did you have plans
895
00:34:03,475 --> 00:34:05,842
to see Clarice
the night she was killed?
896
00:34:05,911 --> 00:34:07,106
Yeah.
897
00:34:07,279 --> 00:34:09,543
She asked me to come by
her place and talk.
898
00:34:09,614 --> 00:34:11,981
Said she wanted to smooth
things out between us
899
00:34:12,050 --> 00:34:14,781
regarding our dispute
over alleged record profits.
900
00:34:15,453 --> 00:34:17,012
What happened when you
went to her apartment?
901
00:34:17,088 --> 00:34:18,078
Nothing.
902
00:34:18,156 --> 00:34:19,624
I could see some lights
on the second floor,
903
00:34:19,691 --> 00:34:20,954
but nobody answered
the doorbell,
904
00:34:21,026 --> 00:34:22,460
so I rang it again.
905
00:34:22,527 --> 00:34:23,551
Did you see
anyone inside?
906
00:34:24,229 --> 00:34:25,628
Yeah, a man.
907
00:34:26,131 --> 00:34:27,621
White, skinny.
908
00:34:28,033 --> 00:34:29,023
Could you
see his face?
909
00:34:29,100 --> 00:34:30,261
No.
910
00:34:30,702 --> 00:34:32,363
Could it have been
Isaac Krantz?
911
00:34:32,637 --> 00:34:33,934
Possible,
but like I said,
912
00:34:34,005 --> 00:34:35,404
I couldn't
make out his face.
913
00:34:36,575 --> 00:34:38,475
Do you believe Ike Krantz
is trying to blame you
914
00:34:38,543 --> 00:34:40,307
for a murder he committed? Yes.
915
00:34:40,845 --> 00:34:42,074
Why?
Why?
916
00:34:42,747 --> 00:34:44,613
'Cause I'm the perfect
fall guy.
917
00:34:44,849 --> 00:34:47,409
Big, black, tattoos.
918
00:34:47,919 --> 00:34:50,251
My artists rap about
murder, gangs, thug life.
919
00:34:51,289 --> 00:34:53,053
I'm an easy target, man.
920
00:34:53,124 --> 00:34:54,922
Badass black gang-banger
921
00:34:54,993 --> 00:34:57,758
versus nice little Jewish
boy from Westchester.
922
00:34:58,363 --> 00:35:00,855
Who you think the people
are gonna believe?
923
00:35:02,400 --> 00:35:04,300
Did you ever threaten
to kill Ike Krantz?
924
00:35:04,436 --> 00:35:05,460
No.
925
00:35:05,537 --> 00:35:07,301
Did you ever solicit
an inmate to stab him?
926
00:35:07,639 --> 00:35:08,663
Of course not.
927
00:35:08,740 --> 00:35:09,798
You're sure?
928
00:35:09,874 --> 00:35:10,864
(sums)
929
00:35:12,010 --> 00:35:13,876
I know how this sounds,
930
00:35:13,945 --> 00:35:15,344
but if I wanted Ike dead,
931
00:35:15,413 --> 00:35:16,608
he'd be dead.
932
00:35:16,681 --> 00:35:19,412
Not nursing some booboo
on the side of his tummy.
933
00:35:21,553 --> 00:35:23,146
Nothing further.
934
00:35:26,224 --> 00:35:28,693
If somebody was going
to testify against you
935
00:35:28,760 --> 00:35:31,286
in a murder trial,
you'd kill them.
936
00:35:31,363 --> 00:35:33,058
Is that what
you just said?
937
00:35:33,131 --> 00:35:36,567
I said if I wanted someone
dead, he'd be dead.
938
00:35:36,868 --> 00:35:38,029
So your point is what?
939
00:35:38,103 --> 00:35:41,038
That you're a highly
efficient murderer?
940
00:35:41,106 --> 00:35:43,871
If you set out to kill
someone, they die.
941
00:35:44,142 --> 00:35:46,076
All I'm saying is
if I was gonna hire
942
00:35:46,144 --> 00:35:47,908
some dude
to kill someone,
943
00:35:47,979 --> 00:35:49,447
he'd take care
of business.
944
00:35:49,514 --> 00:35:50,913
Wouldn't scrape someone
945
00:35:50,982 --> 00:35:52,211
in a damn love handle.
946
00:35:52,283 --> 00:35:54,877
Murder isn't a big deal to you, is it?
That's not true.
947
00:35:54,953 --> 00:35:56,853
Your artists sing about it
all the time.
948
00:35:56,921 --> 00:36:00,380
In fact, your record label
is called Time Of Death.
949
00:36:00,859 --> 00:36:02,327
That's music.
950
00:36:02,627 --> 00:36:04,527
Make-believe, fantasy,
not real life.
951
00:36:04,829 --> 00:36:06,854
Unfortunately,
sometimes they merge.
952
00:36:06,931 --> 00:36:08,023
Objection.
953
00:36:08,099 --> 00:36:10,261
Withdrawn.
Nothing further.
954
00:36:15,907 --> 00:36:17,705
Interesting strategy.
955
00:36:18,076 --> 00:36:19,805
Trying to convince the jury
you're innocent
956
00:36:19,878 --> 00:36:23,337
because your hired assassin
would've actually killed Ike.
957
00:36:23,715 --> 00:36:25,376
It might work too.
958
00:36:25,717 --> 00:36:27,310
What do you mean?
959
00:36:27,385 --> 00:36:29,251
I think
he's telling the truth.
960
00:36:29,320 --> 00:36:30,515
Connie!
961
00:36:30,689 --> 00:36:33,317
Well, why do we believe
Ike over Blair?
962
00:36:33,391 --> 00:36:34,517
Because he's white?
963
00:36:34,592 --> 00:36:36,754
Because he has
a pretty wife, two kids?
964
00:36:36,828 --> 00:36:38,762
You know, a new Lexus,
Park Avenue address?
965
00:36:38,830 --> 00:36:39,854
No!
966
00:36:40,532 --> 00:36:42,398
And what about
the stabbing at Rikers?
967
00:36:42,467 --> 00:36:44,629
Was that a coincidence,
an accident?
968
00:36:45,036 --> 00:36:47,334
We have no proof that
Blair was behind that.
969
00:36:47,405 --> 00:36:49,271
Now you think
Ike is lying.
970
00:36:49,340 --> 00:36:50,603
I'm just saying
we have no proof
971
00:36:50,675 --> 00:36:52,666
that Blair was behind it.
972
00:36:53,044 --> 00:36:54,409
Go out to Rikers
first thing.
973
00:36:54,479 --> 00:36:55,810
See what you find.
974
00:36:58,750 --> 00:36:59,945
Look, Hold you before.
975
00:37:00,018 --> 00:37:01,577
I don't know if Ike
had any enemies.
976
00:37:01,653 --> 00:37:02,779
But come on,
do the math.
977
00:37:02,854 --> 00:37:05,585
A rich white guy in for killing
a pregnant black rapper?
978
00:37:05,657 --> 00:37:08,251
Half the population
probably wanted him dead.
979
00:37:08,326 --> 00:37:10,954
Okay, no specific enemies.
Any friends?
980
00:37:11,362 --> 00:37:13,421
There was this one dude
he hung out with a lot.
981
00:37:13,498 --> 00:37:14,590
Lots of tats.
982
00:37:14,666 --> 00:37:16,464
On trial for attempted
murder, I think.
983
00:37:16,534 --> 00:37:18,024
Know his name?
984
00:37:18,403 --> 00:37:19,802
Don Bissell.
985
00:37:20,405 --> 00:37:21,895
I'm gonna need
that file.
986
00:37:22,640 --> 00:37:25,109
I don't know nothing
about no Ike.
987
00:37:25,777 --> 00:37:27,438
I heard you two
were pretty close.
988
00:37:27,512 --> 00:37:28,980
Close? (SCOFFS)
989
00:37:29,047 --> 00:37:31,243
Come on, cutie, that's,
that's not how it works.
990
00:37:31,850 --> 00:37:33,011
I know your wife received
991
00:37:33,084 --> 00:37:35,280
$10,000 from Ike's
business account
992
00:37:35,353 --> 00:37:36,946
two days after
Ike was stabbed.
993
00:37:37,922 --> 00:37:39,515
I'd prefer not to get
your wife involved
994
00:37:39,591 --> 00:37:41,457
in our criminal
investigation.
995
00:37:42,494 --> 00:37:44,690
Tell me the truth,
we won't prosecute.
996
00:37:47,665 --> 00:37:49,565
I don't owe
that mutt nothing.
997
00:37:50,201 --> 00:37:51,532
He told me to stab him
in the back,
998
00:37:51,603 --> 00:37:54,300
but on the side, so it
wouldn't hit any organs.
999
00:37:54,372 --> 00:37:56,704
But he wanted me
to make it look real,
1000
00:37:56,775 --> 00:37:58,436
like a murder attempt.
1001
00:38:01,446 --> 00:38:04,040
Look, I paid Bissell
to protect me.
1002
00:38:04,349 --> 00:38:06,579
Okay, I'm not exactly
Charles Bronson, you know?
1003
00:38:06,651 --> 00:38:07,846
You paid him
to stab you.
1004
00:38:07,919 --> 00:38:10,820
That's ridiculous. I was getting
death threats because of Clarice.
1005
00:38:10,889 --> 00:38:13,324
Here's my offer, Mr. Krantz.
Good for today only.
1006
00:38:13,391 --> 00:38:16,053
You plead guilty
to killing Clarice James,
1007
00:38:16,127 --> 00:38:17,720
and I'll recommend
20 years,
1008
00:38:17,796 --> 00:38:20,390
five years less than the max.
Is he kidding?
1009
00:38:20,465 --> 00:38:21,830
If you don't
and we go to trial,
1010
00:38:21,900 --> 00:38:23,425
I'll ask for 25 years,
1011
00:38:23,501 --> 00:38:25,765
plus 10 years
for the money laundering
1012
00:38:25,837 --> 00:38:28,704
and 10 years for multiple
counts of perjury,
1013
00:38:28,773 --> 00:38:31,333
and I'll make sure
that they run consecutively.
1014
00:38:31,609 --> 00:38:33,839
That's 45 years,
if you're lucky.
1015
00:38:34,212 --> 00:38:36,408
You'll never get it past
the grand jury.
1016
00:38:36,481 --> 00:38:37,949
I already did.
1017
00:38:38,016 --> 00:38:39,575
Bissell's gonna testify
against you.
1018
00:38:39,651 --> 00:38:40,777
Oh, you think so?
1019
00:38:40,852 --> 00:38:42,320
Who's gonna believe
that scumbag?
1020
00:38:42,387 --> 00:38:44,651
A lot more people than will
believe you, Mr. Krantz.
1021
00:38:44,722 --> 00:38:46,247
I guarantee it.
1022
00:38:47,458 --> 00:38:48,619
See you at trial.
1023
00:38:49,961 --> 00:38:52,396
Hey, look, she attacked
me, all right?
1024
00:38:52,463 --> 00:38:53,862
I was just
defending myself.
1025
00:38:54,332 --> 00:38:55,731
There's no evidence
of that.
1026
00:38:55,800 --> 00:38:57,427
Oh, come on!
She was ghetto trash.
1027
00:38:57,502 --> 00:38:59,527
That's how
these people behave.
1028
00:39:00,405 --> 00:39:02,396
We're done, Mr. Krantz.
1029
00:39:04,542 --> 00:39:06,772
All right, look,
I'll take the deal.
1030
00:39:09,180 --> 00:39:11,148
I'll take the damn deal.
1031
00:39:13,384 --> 00:39:15,443
Ike Krantz agreed
to plead guilty
1032
00:39:15,520 --> 00:39:16,988
to Clarice James' murder.
1033
00:39:17,055 --> 00:39:19,490
So as such,
we're going to dismiss
1034
00:39:19,557 --> 00:39:21,787
the murder indictment
against you.
1035
00:39:21,860 --> 00:39:23,954
I'm sorry
about all this,
1036
00:39:24,028 --> 00:39:26,156
but we'll have you out of
here in the next few hours.
1037
00:39:26,231 --> 00:39:27,858
I think
you forgot something.
1038
00:39:30,301 --> 00:39:33,032
I didn't hear a promise to terminate
the grand jury investigation
1039
00:39:33,104 --> 00:39:35,903
into my so-called money
laundering and drug running.
1040
00:39:36,641 --> 00:39:38,541
I'm not in a position
to do that.
1041
00:39:39,544 --> 00:39:41,410
I ain't perfect, McCoy,
1042
00:39:41,479 --> 00:39:43,811
but I don't deal drugs
and I don't wash money.
1043
00:39:44,349 --> 00:39:46,113
Then you've got
nothing to worry about.
1044
00:39:46,184 --> 00:39:49,085
Yeah, right. Just like with
this murder trial, huh?
1045
00:39:50,088 --> 00:39:53,490
If Andre was a liar, he would've
told the jury he saw Ike Krantz
1046
00:39:53,558 --> 00:39:56,528
in Clarice's apartment,
not some skinny white dude.
1047
00:40:02,600 --> 00:40:05,365
I'll talk to the prosecutor
overseeing the investigation.
1048
00:40:05,436 --> 00:40:06,926
ANDRE: Good.
1049
00:40:09,641 --> 00:40:11,507
Now what about
a real apology?
1050
00:40:13,745 --> 00:40:15,679
I followed the facts.
1051
00:40:16,915 --> 00:40:18,713
You lied about your alibi.
1052
00:40:19,851 --> 00:40:23,287
You refused to cooperate
with the police or us.
1053
00:40:23,655 --> 00:40:25,680
Meaning I had an attitude.
1054
00:40:26,190 --> 00:40:28,852
Where I live, you don't
stay alive being nice.
1055
00:40:28,927 --> 00:40:30,986
You don't get rich
being nice.
1056
00:40:31,062 --> 00:40:34,191
And I beat this thing
because I didn't roll over.
1057
00:40:34,599 --> 00:40:36,226
You looked guilty
on paper.
1058
00:40:37,235 --> 00:40:39,363
You acted guilty
in person.
1059
00:40:39,671 --> 00:40:42,436
So it's on me that you
prosecuted the wrong man?
1060
00:40:42,507 --> 00:40:44,771
The right man's going
to prison.
1061
00:40:51,115 --> 00:40:53,243
Good luck to you, Mr. Blair.
1062
00:41:05,129 --> 00:41:06,460
Could be Blair was right.
1063
00:41:06,531 --> 00:41:08,829
It's always
a black-white thing.
1064
00:41:09,934 --> 00:41:11,595
He did have
an attitude.
1065
00:41:13,371 --> 00:41:15,169
Maybe he has a right.
