00:00:02,135 --> 00:00:05,171
In New York City's war on crime,

2
00:00:05,171 --> 00:00:08,081
the worst criminal offenders
are pursued by the detectives

3
00:00:08,081 --> 00:00:09,609
of the Major Case Squad.

4
00:00:09,609 --> 00:00:12,407
These are their stories.

5
00:00:16,769 --> 00:00:18,304
I need to speak to him.

6
00:00:18,304 --> 00:00:20,544
- He's got a busted arm...
- Sorry, Officer.

7
00:00:20,544 --> 00:00:24,212
- We don't know him.
- Let's go.! Ball up.!

8
00:00:27,550 --> 00:00:31,224
Maybe you can take a closer look.

9
00:00:31,224 --> 00:00:36,906
He's a schoolkid.
That's all I know.

10
00:00:36,906 --> 00:00:38,338
Sorry, man. Don't know him.

11
00:00:38,338 --> 00:00:42,241
Guys.! You got midterms next week.
Get on home.

12
00:00:42,241 --> 00:00:45,064
- Okay, Coach.
- Get outta here.

13
00:00:46,406 --> 00:00:47,622
You a recruiter?

14
00:00:47,622 --> 00:00:50,663
L-I'm lookin' for this young man.

15
00:00:50,663 --> 00:00:53,623
Recruiters know they can't work
on school grounds.

16
00:00:53,623 --> 00:00:55,942
You need to leave.

17
00:00:55,942 --> 00:00:57,504
No. They moved out, I think.

18
00:00:57,504 --> 00:00:58,930
You have any idea where?

19
00:00:58,930 --> 00:01:00,035
Maybe they have family in the neighborhood.

20
00:01:00,035 --> 00:01:04,634
Oh, they got family, all right.

21
00:01:04,634 --> 00:01:06,575
It's all good, Elvin.

22
00:01:06,575 --> 00:01:10,036
You get a taste too.
You know, a finder's fee.

23
00:01:10,036 --> 00:01:13,420
With or without you,
I'll find him.

24
00:01:13,420 --> 00:01:15,569
Somebody at a school or Rucker Park.

25
00:01:15,569 --> 00:01:18,483
- They'll tell me.
- You don't wanna do that.

26
00:01:18,483 --> 00:01:21,829
You wanna be standing away from him.

27
00:01:25,403 --> 00:01:28,041
If this doesn't get nailed down,
I could lose my job.

28
00:01:28,041 --> 00:01:30,091
Don't worry.
I'm gonna find him.

29
00:01:30,091 --> 00:01:35,703
Maybe you don't understand, Diego.
I'm in a bad situation.

30
00:01:43,352 --> 00:01:47,963
Oh! I get a free throw for that.

31
00:01:47,963 --> 00:01:52,063
- Yo, Mr. Electrician.
- Aw, come on.

Law & Order CI 
3x11 Mad Hops

40
00:02:41,102 --> 00:02:43,679
ORIGINAL AIR DATE ON NBC:  2004/01/11

41
00:02:47,324 --> 00:02:49,949
Bullet cut through the flex conduit,
shorted the lights.

42
00:02:49,949 --> 00:02:51,998
- No one heard the shot?
- Nope.

43
00:02:51,998 --> 00:02:54,827
He had no I.D., no cell phone,
no watch.

44
00:02:54,827 --> 00:02:57,374
Punks used the whole buffalo.

45
00:02:59,906 --> 00:03:02,234
Well, there's no burn marks on his hands.

46
00:03:02,234 --> 00:03:04,704
No track marks. Doesn't look like a user.

47
00:03:04,704 --> 00:03:08,409
If he was selling, there'd be
a backup somewhere nearby.

48
00:03:08,409 --> 00:03:12,375
He didn't come back here for the view.

49
00:03:14,083 --> 00:03:15,558
He was havin' a smoke.

50
00:03:15,558 --> 00:03:17,078
He was shot while putting his cigarette out.

51
00:03:17,078 --> 00:03:20,773
The butt's still stuck
to the bottom of his boot.

52
00:03:20,773 --> 00:03:23,713
The punks left the buffalo's knife.

53
00:03:23,713 --> 00:03:25,113
We got a match on his prints.

54
00:03:25,113 --> 00:03:28,413
He's a P.I. Out of Bensonhurst...
Diego Bracho.

55
00:03:28,413 --> 00:03:30,081
If Bracho was worried about his safety,

56
00:03:30,081 --> 00:03:32,406
he would have kept the knife closer at hand.

57
00:03:32,406 --> 00:03:35,672
But instead, he felt safe enough
to take his eyes off the shooter...

58
00:03:35,672 --> 00:03:40,102
long enough to put his cigarette out.

59
00:03:42,549 --> 00:03:45,351
Well, he might have been meeting a client.

60
00:03:45,351 --> 00:03:47,901
Office of Diego Bracho, P.I. Brooklyn
New York, Wednesday, january 8

61
00:03:47,901 --> 00:03:52,597
He taught Social Sciences
at I.S. 44, 15 years ago.

62
00:03:52,597 --> 00:03:56,295
In the Bronx. Should have been
enough excitement for two lifetimes.

63
00:03:56,295 --> 00:04:00,750
Here we go.
Uh, receipts for Harlem.

64
00:04:00,750 --> 00:04:05,470
Looks like he's getting paid in gum...
Power Chew sports gum.

65
00:04:05,470 --> 00:04:08,927
These receipts are from two days ago.

66
00:04:08,927 --> 00:04:12,953
Mm. City parking lot.

67
00:04:12,953 --> 00:04:17,530
A gas station in Queens and two
from the diner down the street here.

68
00:04:17,530 --> 00:04:22,327
One for breakfast, one for lunch,
with the gas receipt in between.

69
00:04:22,327 --> 00:04:25,086
He had breakfast,
went up to Queens, came back.

70
00:04:25,086 --> 00:04:27,725
Wrote down the mileage.

71
00:04:27,725 --> 00:04:30,568
Twenty-five miles.

72
00:04:33,818 --> 00:04:36,398
Okay, So...

73
00:04:36,398 --> 00:04:41,401
Uh, office is, uh, here.

74
00:04:41,401 --> 00:04:46,305
Uh, gas station is on
the 2100 block of Hazen Street.

75
00:04:46,305 --> 00:04:49,379
Uh, 11 miles one way,
22 miles round-trip.

76
00:04:49,379 --> 00:04:51,160
Still three miles short.

77
00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:54,876
Uh, that's one and a half mile...

78
00:04:54,876 --> 00:05:00,246
one way...
to someplace with a city parking lot.

79
00:05:01,498 --> 00:05:04,542
Rikers Island?

80
00:05:04,542 --> 00:05:06,181
It was mistaken identity.

81
00:05:06,181 --> 00:05:08,399
That P.I. Had the wrong black man.

82
00:05:08,399 --> 00:05:12,260
"Elvin Fergin"?
That's not a common name.

83
00:05:12,260 --> 00:05:15,655
- How'd he make a mistake?
- I didn't get all up in his head.

84
00:05:15,655 --> 00:05:17,684
You do a life-skills workshop.

85
00:05:17,684 --> 00:05:20,890
Mm, you're studying for your G.E.D.

86
00:05:20,890 --> 00:05:24,823
A man can turn a page,
be a better example.

87
00:05:24,823 --> 00:05:27,295
I believe that.

88
00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:31,577
What did Bracho want?

89
00:05:33,256 --> 00:05:35,369
We'll pick up every
dope dealer in that park till

90
00:05:35,369 --> 00:05:38,047
we find the one who says you
put him up to killing Bracho.

91
00:05:38,047 --> 00:05:41,627
Lady, that park's 15 streets
from where my crew works.

92
00:05:41,627 --> 00:05:47,522
It's sacred ground.
Nobody does business in that park.

93
00:05:47,522 --> 00:05:49,754
Guard.

94
00:05:49,754 --> 00:05:54,557
Uh, what park are you talking about, Elvin?

95
00:05:54,557 --> 00:05:58,664
Elvin's crew works out of
the Carter projects up on 172nd.

96
00:05:58,664 --> 00:06:02,485
That's 40 blocks from where Bracho was killed.

97
00:06:02,485 --> 00:06:05,438
Elvin assumed we meant another park.

98
00:06:05,438 --> 00:06:09,284
Maybe one Bracho mentioned.

99
00:06:09,284 --> 00:06:13,820
Fifteen blocks from the Carter projects.

100
00:06:13,820 --> 00:06:17,561
156th and-and Eighth.

101
00:06:17,561 --> 00:06:21,459
Well, Elvin's right.
That is sacred ground.

102
00:06:21,459 --> 00:06:24,183
Rucker Park Wes 156th & 8th Avenue
Monday, january 13

103
00:06:24,183 --> 00:06:25,574
Hey, y'all. Hold up. Listen,

104
00:06:25,574 --> 00:06:27,251
I don't know anything
about this man right here.

105
00:06:27,251 --> 00:06:29,664
All we do is play ball here
in the Rucker, Officer.

106
00:06:29,664 --> 00:06:35,929
Uh, my partner says he has
stories about this place.

107
00:06:35,929 --> 00:06:38,342
Marv, come here.
Check out her dibs.

108
00:06:38,342 --> 00:06:40,845
What do you got on,
P. Diddy drapes?

109
00:06:40,845 --> 00:06:43,702
What you all, fashion police?

110
00:06:45,341 --> 00:06:48,246
Obviously, they don't know
we're the hoops police,

111
00:06:48,246 --> 00:06:49,959
'cause we ought to lock
you up for wearin' those kicks.

112
00:06:49,959 --> 00:06:52,027
Where'd you find those,
on a telephone line?

113
00:06:52,027 --> 00:06:53,635
Whoo!

114
00:06:55,031 --> 00:07:01,194
Hey, uh, my-my partner told me he saw
someone named Earl the Goat play.

115
00:07:01,194 --> 00:07:04,273
Earl the Goat?
You saw that guy play?

116
00:07:04,273 --> 00:07:08,672
This one Saturday, when I was a kid,
I saw the Goat.

117
00:07:08,672 --> 00:07:10,964
He dunked it, caught it,

118
00:07:10,964 --> 00:07:12,968
and he dunked it again before he landed.

119
00:07:12,968 --> 00:07:15,570
I ain't seen him. You?

120
00:07:16,991 --> 00:07:19,989
What's that, Power Chew?

121
00:07:19,989 --> 00:07:22,379
- Is this stuff any good?
- Aw, man, that stuff is awful, dog.

122
00:07:22,379 --> 00:07:25,565
That fool just chew it 'cause it's free.

123
00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:33,056
So, why is it free?

124
00:07:33,056 --> 00:07:37,020
They had a giveaway a few weeks ago
when the pros played here.

125
00:07:37,020 --> 00:07:39,632
Neo-Culture Advertising Agency 370 West
118th Street, Tuesday, January 14

126
00:07:39,632 --> 00:07:42,419
We had pros show up unannounced.
The kids went crazy.

127
00:07:42,419 --> 00:07:44,012
We caught it all on hidden cameras.

128
00:07:44,012 --> 00:07:47,018
And this was all for
a Power Chew commercial?

129
00:07:47,018 --> 00:07:48,668
Can we see the footage?

130
00:07:48,668 --> 00:07:52,214
We need to see if this man
was there that day.

131
00:07:53,363 --> 00:07:55,754
He's not on anything we shot.

132
00:07:55,754 --> 00:07:58,379
We'd like to see it for ourselves.

133
00:07:58,379 --> 00:08:00,242
I'm sorry. It belongs to the client.

134
00:08:00,242 --> 00:08:01,773
They paid for it.

135
00:08:01,773 --> 00:08:06,982
But you're not saying that you,
uh, don't know him, are you?

136
00:08:08,010 --> 00:08:12,742
It's just, um...
That award, can I?

137
00:08:14,707 --> 00:08:23,791
Yeah. "Best Documentary,
Brooklyn Film Festival,1994, Repo 101."

138
00:08:23,791 --> 00:08:27,403
That would be about a teacher.

139
00:08:27,403 --> 00:08:30,074
Maybe one who became a repo man.

140
00:08:30,074 --> 00:08:31,385
Yes.

141
00:08:31,385 --> 00:08:32,981
Maybe Diego Bracho.

142
00:08:32,981 --> 00:08:36,066
The late Diego Bracho.

143
00:08:38,558 --> 00:08:41,781
He was working for you?

144
00:08:41,781 --> 00:08:44,743
Look, the Power Chew people
fell in love with this one kid on...

145
00:08:44,743 --> 00:08:46,087
on his cell phone.

146
00:08:46,087 --> 00:08:50,282
He was perfect. They wanted him
for the national campaign.

147
00:08:50,282 --> 00:08:53,583
I thought I had all the signed releases.

148
00:08:53,583 --> 00:08:55,915
Except for this kid,
so you hired Bracho to find him.

149
00:08:55,915 --> 00:08:59,670
We didn't know his name.
There was nothing to go on.

150
00:09:03,508 --> 00:09:05,001
Is that him with the bum wing?

151
00:09:05,001 --> 00:09:09,429
No, there's nothing wrong with
his... his right arm.

152
00:09:09,429 --> 00:09:11,612
Look.

153
00:09:16,992 --> 00:09:19,022
It's an old basketball exercise.

154
00:09:19,022 --> 00:09:20,862
Put your dominant arm in a sling...

155
00:09:20,862 --> 00:09:23,574
builds the dexterity in your off hand.

156
00:09:23,574 --> 00:09:26,659
This kid's in a basketball program.

157
00:09:26,659 --> 00:09:30,656
You know, Elvin said something
about turning the page,

158
00:09:30,656 --> 00:09:34,187
setting a better example.

159
00:09:35,353 --> 00:09:40,340
Elvin's visitors, the last six months...
his lawyer, his parents...

160
00:09:40,340 --> 00:09:43,995
and his brother, Corey, 18.

161
00:09:43,995 --> 00:09:48,031
Look him up. See what kind of
example Elvin's talking about.

162
00:09:48,031 --> 00:09:51,192
You played ball in school?

163
00:09:51,192 --> 00:09:54,333
J.V. Power forward.

164
00:09:54,333 --> 00:09:56,834
Gave it up.

165
00:09:56,834 --> 00:09:58,313
You find this kid?

166
00:09:58,313 --> 00:10:00,275
Well, yes and no.

167
00:10:00,275 --> 00:10:05,152
His parents reported him
missing two weeks ago.

168
00:10:07,728 --> 00:10:11,339
Corey had a game at his school
that Friday night.

169
00:10:11,339 --> 00:10:15,153
He didn't come home after...
or on Saturday.

170
00:10:15,153 --> 00:10:18,554
And his bike's gone.

171
00:10:18,554 --> 00:10:20,309
Game on Friday... how'd he play?

172
00:10:20,309 --> 00:10:23,076
He didn't play all but two minutes,
but he was fine.

173
00:10:23,076 --> 00:10:24,289
He's a good player.

174
00:10:24,289 --> 00:10:26,549
How was his mood?
Any problems?

175
00:10:26,549 --> 00:10:29,438
Except for wantin' more playin' time,
his attitude was great.

176
00:10:29,438 --> 00:10:31,790
He never talked about runnin'away
or hurtin'himself.

177
00:10:31,790 --> 00:10:34,120
I told the police all this two weeks ago.

178
00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:37,487
And what you didn't tell them
is Corey has an older brother at Rikers.

179
00:10:37,487 --> 00:10:39,908
Corey has a shot at the pros,

180
00:10:39,908 --> 00:10:45,038
and nobody, including Elvin,
wants to mess it up for him.

181
00:10:46,453 --> 00:10:50,984
That's Corey's away bag...
when his team plays outside the city.

182
00:10:55,311 --> 00:10:58,149
That's a birthday gift.

183
00:10:58,149 --> 00:11:00,325
Anyone contact you about Corey?

184
00:11:00,325 --> 00:11:02,145
Maybe a private investigator.

185
00:11:02,145 --> 00:11:04,472
No. No one.

186
00:11:04,472 --> 00:11:07,026
These are about size 48.

187
00:11:07,026 --> 00:11:09,488
These would be your pants,
Mr. Fergin.

188
00:11:09,488 --> 00:11:12,264
My wife and I had problems.

189
00:11:12,264 --> 00:11:15,470
I moved into a place up in Harlem
to be near Corey's school...

190
00:11:15,470 --> 00:11:18,268
so he could be with me during the week.

191
00:11:18,268 --> 00:11:21,780
I moved back here when he went missing.

192
00:11:22,905 --> 00:11:25,133
Mrs. Fergin?

193
00:11:25,133 --> 00:11:28,500
We're fine now.

194
00:11:31,089 --> 00:11:33,721
Apartment of Demario & Corey Fergin 170 West
140th Street, Thursday, January 16

195
00:11:33,721 --> 00:11:37,149
Mr. Fergin moved in with his son in August.

196
00:11:37,149 --> 00:11:39,938
No loud noises.
No complaints.

197
00:11:39,938 --> 00:11:42,495
The-The furniture,
it comes with this apartment?

198
00:11:42,495 --> 00:11:43,169
Yes.

199
00:11:43,169 --> 00:11:47,159
The big TV, the video game and
the sound system... it's all standard?

200
00:11:47,159 --> 00:11:50,123
- Uh-huh.
- Wow.

201
00:11:50,123 --> 00:11:52,312
A place like this,
how much does it run?

202
00:11:52,312 --> 00:11:54,602
Three grand.
More than I can afford.

203
00:11:54,602 --> 00:11:57,867
More than you'd think
Corey's dad could afford.

204
00:11:59,041 --> 00:12:01,080
Excuse me.

205
00:12:02,271 --> 00:12:04,403
Before Corey's parents split up,

206
00:12:04,403 --> 00:12:09,766
Corey went to high school back
in Brooklyn where his parents live.

207
00:12:09,766 --> 00:12:12,768
But his father made it sound like...

208
00:12:12,768 --> 00:12:17,582
that he moved here to Harlem because
Corey was already going to high school here.

209
00:12:17,582 --> 00:12:21,092
So Corey changed schools
after his father moved.

210
00:12:21,092 --> 00:12:22,793
It matters?

211
00:12:22,793 --> 00:12:26,403
Well, it does if Mr. Fergin lied about it.

212
00:12:26,403 --> 00:12:31,033
Corey dunks, shoots from the outside,
plays defense.

213
00:12:31,033 --> 00:12:35,174
He's as gifted a point guard
as I've coached in 30 years.

214
00:12:35,174 --> 00:12:40,829
The whole team is good, especially
these two getting all those three-pointers.

215
00:12:40,829 --> 00:12:45,602
Jace Gleesing and Kyle Davis.

216
00:12:45,602 --> 00:12:47,667
You played?

217
00:12:47,667 --> 00:12:49,121
Yeah. High school.

218
00:12:49,121 --> 00:12:51,861
In the city?
Maybe I saw you play.

219
00:12:51,861 --> 00:12:55,711
No. I didn't stick with it.

220
00:12:55,711 --> 00:12:58,184
Ah, maybe with the right encouragement.

221
00:12:58,184 --> 00:13:00,211
Mr. Rutherford,
you're the assistant coach.

222
00:13:00,211 --> 00:13:03,941
You're close to the players.
What do you hear?

223
00:13:03,941 --> 00:13:05,943
That he might have been selling dope.

224
00:13:05,943 --> 00:13:08,213
You know he's got a brother
in prison for dealin'?

225
00:13:08,213 --> 00:13:10,071
Yes, we know.

226
00:13:10,071 --> 00:13:13,221
All the same, we're gonna
need to talk to the players.

227
00:13:13,221 --> 00:13:16,164
We'll need their names.

228
00:13:16,885 --> 00:13:22,115
I didn't actually see him sellin' weed,
but everybody knows he was doin' it.

229
00:13:22,115 --> 00:13:25,041
Well, then it must be true.

230
00:13:26,618 --> 00:13:29,813
You know what?
We're gonna need your addresses.

231
00:13:29,813 --> 00:13:33,771
Here. Just...'Cause we might
need to talk to you later.

232
00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:40,364
That's Corey's building.

233
00:13:40,364 --> 00:13:41,862
You live there with your parents?

234
00:13:41,862 --> 00:13:43,210
Uh, with my dad.

235
00:13:43,210 --> 00:13:44,751
- Your dad?
- Yeah. My parents,

236
00:13:44,751 --> 00:13:46,947
they weren't getting along,
so, uh, he moved in there.

237
00:13:46,947 --> 00:13:49,663
What about you, Kyle?
Is that why you live there?

238
00:13:49,663 --> 00:13:53,002
Well, yeah. Yeah.
My pops needed his own space.

239
00:13:53,002 --> 00:13:55,227
- Geez! Sorry.
- Oh.!

240
00:13:55,227 --> 00:13:58,067
Sorry. It's nice.

241
00:13:58,067 --> 00:14:00,375
It's just like Corey's.

242
00:14:00,375 --> 00:14:02,369
You pay for that out of your paper route?

243
00:14:02,369 --> 00:14:05,921
Uh, no. My parents gave it
to me when they split up.

244
00:14:05,921 --> 00:14:08,102
Oh, what about this...
this fancy watch?

245
00:14:08,102 --> 00:14:10,287
Where'd that come from?

246
00:14:10,287 --> 00:14:15,261
No, I see. You guys...
Your parents split up
and you get this stuff, right?

247
00:14:16,650 --> 00:14:18,169
End up at the same school,

248
00:14:18,169 --> 00:14:20,938
playing on the same team,
livin' under the same roof.

249
00:14:20,938 --> 00:14:24,936
We gotta get home,
'cause we got a midterm tomorrow.

250
00:14:29,158 --> 00:14:33,729
You ever read the public
school's rules on athletics?

251
00:14:33,729 --> 00:14:35,652
No. It's what I said.

252
00:14:35,652 --> 00:14:38,560
Me and my wife were
having marital difficulties.

253
00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:39,645
That's why I moved out.

254
00:14:39,645 --> 00:14:42,585
No. Corey needed to be on
a championship team.

255
00:14:42,585 --> 00:14:47,038
But a student can't change
schools on the basis of athletics.

256
00:14:47,038 --> 00:14:49,978
That's what the New York Public School...

257
00:14:49,978 --> 00:14:53,264
Athletic League Rules and Regulations says.

258
00:14:53,264 --> 00:14:56,160
That's not what happened here.

259
00:14:56,160 --> 00:14:59,733
Mr. Fergin, five exceptional players,

260
00:14:59,733 --> 00:15:04,617
including Corey, were transferred to
Moses Caro High this year...

261
00:15:04,617 --> 00:15:07,536
because their parents split up.

262
00:15:07,536 --> 00:15:11,593
They all got the same fancy apartments,

263
00:15:11,593 --> 00:15:13,416
- same gifts.
- No. I paid...

264
00:15:13,416 --> 00:15:17,154
Can you show us the canceled rent checks?

265
00:15:18,611 --> 00:15:23,889
Someone's paying a lot of money
to build this team.

266
00:15:23,889 --> 00:15:24,835
Who is it?

267
00:15:24,835 --> 00:15:28,856
But it doesn't have anything
to do with what happened to Corey.

268
00:15:28,856 --> 00:15:34,685
Mr. Fergin, they're sayin'
that Corey was sellin' drugs.

269
00:15:34,685 --> 00:15:36,933
That's why he's missing.

270
00:15:36,933 --> 00:15:40,564
Only you can set the record straight.

271
00:15:41,283 --> 00:15:45,648
Come on. You're his father.

272
00:15:47,124 --> 00:15:50,636
His name's Curtis Romney.

273
00:15:50,636 --> 00:15:54,489
He came to me about Corey transferring schools.

274
00:15:54,489 --> 00:15:57,368
My son Elvin told me to be careful...

275
00:15:57,368 --> 00:16:00,878
because Romney was involved in sports betting.

276
00:16:03,452 --> 00:16:08,933
I just wanted to give Corey a better opportunity.

277
00:16:10,969 --> 00:16:13,132
Coach says you're startin'tonight.

278
00:16:13,132 --> 00:16:14,879
So listen up. Here's the rules.

279
00:16:14,879 --> 00:16:18,302
You get the rock,
you dish to Kyle and me.

280
00:16:18,302 --> 00:16:20,020
We clear?

281
00:16:20,020 --> 00:16:22,819
Hey! He asked you a question!

282
00:16:24,192 --> 00:16:26,338
Hey! What's the problem here?

283
00:16:26,338 --> 00:16:29,384
Ben. Come on.

284
00:16:34,971 --> 00:16:38,388
All right, get out there,
all of ya.

285
00:16:44,361 --> 00:16:48,781
This is what you've done...
to my team.

286
00:16:52,918 --> 00:16:55,149
It's called grass roots boosterism...

287
00:16:55,149 --> 00:16:57,741
giving the community a team
they can be proud of.

288
00:16:57,741 --> 00:17:00,620
Well, l-I call it "long-term investment."

289
00:17:00,620 --> 00:17:02,908
You recruit the players,

290
00:17:02,908 --> 00:17:06,969
you, uh, touch their young
lives with your generosity,

291
00:17:06,969 --> 00:17:08,525
and then you leave a stain

292
00:17:08,525 --> 00:17:11,485
that they carry through their
college or their professional career...

293
00:17:11,485 --> 00:17:15,873
a taint that you can threaten them with...

294
00:17:15,873 --> 00:17:19,423
anytime you need to shave some points.

295
00:17:19,423 --> 00:17:24,136
And this one... he wanted
more playing time, more money.

296
00:17:24,136 --> 00:17:27,726
Whatever it was, he was more
trouble than he was worth.

297
00:17:27,726 --> 00:17:30,219
My client denies any involvement.

298
00:17:30,219 --> 00:17:33,790
This conversation is over.

299
00:17:37,626 --> 00:17:39,891
Harbor Patrol just pulled
a body out of the Harlem River.

300
00:17:39,891 --> 00:17:41,510
Male black, 16-20.

301
00:17:41,510 --> 00:17:42,820
Any I.D.?

302
00:17:42,820 --> 00:17:46,739
He's 6'5"...
I'll take a flyer it's our missing kid.

303
00:17:46,739 --> 00:17:52,035
Now maybe we can add "known killer"
to Romney's credentials.

304
00:17:54,265 --> 00:17:57,097
The wound's premortem.
Trachea's collapsed.

305
00:17:57,097 --> 00:18:00,698
And these three marks and the bruise...
they look like they could be from knuckles.

306
00:18:00,698 --> 00:18:03,429
Could be.
And then...

307
00:18:03,429 --> 00:18:05,313
I'll help.

308
00:18:05,313 --> 00:18:06,950
We have these.

309
00:18:06,950 --> 00:18:09,845
Looks like it's from a club
or a pipe... metal or wood.

310
00:18:09,845 --> 00:18:11,967
This looks like it's from a hex nut.

311
00:18:11,967 --> 00:18:17,573
His watch stopped at 11:16
the night of his Friday game.

312
00:18:36,334 --> 00:18:39,185
Uh... Let me do that.

313
00:18:54,298 --> 00:18:57,562
Oh, this is, uh,

314
00:18:57,562 --> 00:19:01,104
red brick dust.

315
00:19:01,104 --> 00:19:04,211
The water in his lungs...
we need a chemical analysis.

316
00:19:04,211 --> 00:19:07,921
Anything you want.

317
00:19:07,921 --> 00:19:12,161
He was punched in the windpipe
and thrown into the water alive.

318
00:19:12,161 --> 00:19:16,364
If it was a pro, he would have
made sure he was dead.

319
00:19:16,364 --> 00:19:20,720
This was more out of control.

320
00:19:20,720 --> 00:19:24,168
What a damn waste.

321
00:19:24,168 --> 00:19:25,989
So, it was true, the rumors.

322
00:19:25,989 --> 00:19:28,558
We don't think it has
anything to do with drugs.

323
00:19:28,558 --> 00:19:32,109
I see that you-you've won six, uh...

324
00:19:32,109 --> 00:19:36,966
No. Seven championships...
and teaching awards.

325
00:19:36,966 --> 00:19:38,782
I teach Social Sciences.

326
00:19:38,782 --> 00:19:41,705
Front office says that you're
gonna retire at the end of the year.

327
00:19:43,362 --> 00:19:45,884
Be nice to go out with a...
bang.

328
00:19:45,884 --> 00:19:47,544
I play to win every year,

329
00:19:47,544 --> 00:19:51,011
or else there's no point in suiting up.

330
00:19:51,011 --> 00:19:52,390
Does he always beat around the bush?

331
00:19:52,390 --> 00:19:54,266
I can be direct.

332
00:19:54,266 --> 00:19:56,516
You're divorced.

333
00:19:56,516 --> 00:19:59,328
You got no kids.

334
00:19:59,328 --> 00:20:04,128
And basketball is pretty much it for you, Coach.

335
00:20:04,128 --> 00:20:07,469
You haven't won a championship
in the last seven years.

336
00:20:07,469 --> 00:20:10,304
You might be hungry for
a big win to cap your career.

337
00:20:10,304 --> 00:20:13,671
Hungry enough to get into
business with Curtis Romney?

338
00:20:13,671 --> 00:20:15,770
I can be direct too.

339
00:20:17,638 --> 00:20:20,694
I see a problem with authority figures.

340
00:20:20,694 --> 00:20:22,676
You defy them.

341
00:20:22,676 --> 00:20:24,934
You disrespect them.

342
00:20:24,934 --> 00:20:29,981
But the truth is,
you're intimidated by them.

343
00:20:31,232 --> 00:20:36,288
It's the mark of a boy
with an indifferent father.

344
00:20:36,288 --> 00:20:41,565
His absence took the joy
out of playing basketball.

345
00:20:47,620 --> 00:20:51,596
By the time I was aware of what
Romney had done, it was too late.

346
00:20:51,596 --> 00:20:54,541
If I'd blown the whistle, the whole team
would have been suspended.

347
00:20:54,541 --> 00:20:57,906
You can't convince me Romney
did this without your help.

348
00:20:57,906 --> 00:21:02,245
No. I believe him.

349
00:21:02,245 --> 00:21:08,402
You... didn't use Romney's five ringers...

350
00:21:08,402 --> 00:21:11,787
for all your starting lineups.

351
00:21:12,385 --> 00:21:15,347
You mixed in lesser players.

352
00:21:15,347 --> 00:21:19,222
To make them into better players.

353
00:21:19,222 --> 00:21:20,372
Yeah.

354
00:21:20,372 --> 00:21:23,129
I don't have anything to prove on the court.

355
00:21:23,129 --> 00:21:25,925
Not anymore.

356
00:21:25,925 --> 00:21:28,604
Right.

357
00:21:28,604 --> 00:21:32,254
That torch had been passed.

358
00:21:35,312 --> 00:21:37,999
This whole thing was Romney's play.
I had nothing to do with it.

359
00:21:37,999 --> 00:21:40,735
Maybe he paid the bills,
but you recruited the players.

360
00:21:40,735 --> 00:21:41,335
Nah...

361
00:21:41,335 --> 00:21:44,240
There's nothing like kicking off
a brilliant coaching career...

362
00:21:44,240 --> 00:21:46,350
like a championship team,
right, Mr. Rutherford?

363
00:21:46,350 --> 00:21:50,050
Even if it means getting
in bed with Curtis Romney.

364
00:21:52,859 --> 00:21:54,761
Oh, man.
This thing went so wrong.

365
00:21:54,761 --> 00:21:56,240
I don't know what happened to Corey.

366
00:21:56,240 --> 00:21:58,664
Tell us what you do know.

367
00:21:58,664 --> 00:22:00,448
Corey wanted more playing time.

368
00:22:00,448 --> 00:22:02,250
He worried he wouldn't be scouted for college.

369
00:22:02,250 --> 00:22:03,716
Romney know he was unhappy?

370
00:22:03,716 --> 00:22:07,796
No. I didn't need him knowing
I couldn't manage the problem.

371
00:22:08,639 --> 00:22:12,667
And where did Corey direct his anger...
to you or to the other players?

372
00:22:12,667 --> 00:22:14,588
We looked good on the court.

373
00:22:14,588 --> 00:22:16,627
But in the locker room,
it was ugly.

374
00:22:16,627 --> 00:22:20,618
Bringin' in all those
hotshots just broke the team.

375
00:22:20,618 --> 00:22:22,993
What did you do after Corey's last game?

376
00:22:22,993 --> 00:22:26,348
I turned the stat sheet into Powell,
and I met my wife for dinner.

377
00:22:26,348 --> 00:22:28,044
And the players after the game,

378
00:22:28,044 --> 00:22:32,407
you and Coach Powell steer clear of them?

379
00:22:32,407 --> 00:22:34,925
Yeah. Especially after a close game.

380
00:22:34,925 --> 00:22:37,865
It's their time.

381
00:22:37,865 --> 00:22:42,057
The restaurant confirmed Rutherford
and his wife were there until just after 11:00.

382
00:22:42,057 --> 00:22:43,296
Another solid alibi.

383
00:22:43,296 --> 00:22:46,277
I'd like to see us pin a suspect
down long enough to make a case.

384
00:22:46,277 --> 00:22:48,092
Maybe we can pin down
where Corey went into the water.

385
00:22:48,092 --> 00:22:52,460
The lab found high concentrations
of chromite, lead and asbestos...

386
00:22:52,460 --> 00:22:54,605
in the water in his lungs.

387
00:22:54,605 --> 00:23:00,324
The red brick dust in his sinuses...
building materials.

388
00:23:02,551 --> 00:23:06,633
Uh, the city's been tearing
down a housing project...

389
00:23:06,633 --> 00:23:09,878
on 142nd...

390
00:23:09,878 --> 00:23:14,770
and Fifth...
on Harlem River Drive.

391
00:23:14,770 --> 00:23:18,298
Contractor's been cited for
dumping materials into the river.

392
00:23:18,298 --> 00:23:22,944
School's on 124th.
He lived on 116th.

393
00:23:22,944 --> 00:23:25,761
What's he doing all
the way up on 142nd Street?

394
00:23:25,761 --> 00:23:29,639
One of the players lived on 143rd and Lennox...
two blocks away.

395
00:23:29,639 --> 00:23:33,836
"Benjamin Watkins."

396
00:23:36,493 --> 00:23:41,366
Well, he's been playin' with
the team for three years.

397
00:23:41,366 --> 00:23:44,878
And he was alternating with
Corey on point guard.

398
00:23:44,878 --> 00:23:47,756
"Alternating."

399
00:23:47,756 --> 00:23:51,146
Nice way to say "cutthroat competition."

400
00:23:51,146 --> 00:23:54,969
You should see him.
He's so excited.

401
00:23:54,969 --> 00:23:57,955
Yes, I will.
I'll call when the plane lands.

402
00:23:57,955 --> 00:23:59,957
Mom, we're ready.

403
00:23:59,957 --> 00:24:02,510
I have to go.

404
00:24:02,510 --> 00:24:05,625
We can't thank you enough.

405
00:24:05,625 --> 00:24:09,861
Congratulations, Ben.
You're now a Mid-Iowa Tiger.

406
00:24:12,780 --> 00:24:15,821
If he went in more downriver on
the opposite side of the dump site,

407
00:24:15,821 --> 00:24:17,483
the concentration would have been more diluted.

408
00:24:17,483 --> 00:24:19,649
Or if he went in more upriver,

409
00:24:19,649 --> 00:24:23,608
the water in his lungs would
have been filled with cleaner water.

410
00:24:23,608 --> 00:24:27,299
He was shoved against the rail.

411
00:24:27,299 --> 00:24:33,190
He was punched in the throat with
enough force to send him over.

412
00:24:42,137 --> 00:24:46,696
Yeah, right here.
This is where he went in.

413
00:24:48,154 --> 00:24:51,579
The last time I saw Corey was
in the locker room after the game.

414
00:24:51,579 --> 00:24:53,051
Then I went home.

415
00:24:53,051 --> 00:24:56,139
- And you were at the game, Ms. Watkins?
- Just the second half.

416
00:24:56,139 --> 00:24:58,800
I was working at a plant store
down at Chelsea Market.

417
00:24:58,800 --> 00:25:00,447
I'm assistant manager.

418
00:25:00,447 --> 00:25:02,775
And, uh, you and Ben came home together?

419
00:25:02,775 --> 00:25:06,316
No. I...
stayed to talk with friends.

420
00:25:06,316 --> 00:25:09,196
And-And I was beat.
I just wanted to get home.

421
00:25:09,196 --> 00:25:10,378
But you won that night, didn't you?

422
00:25:10,378 --> 00:25:13,782
Didn't you wanna celebrate
with the other guys?

423
00:25:15,643 --> 00:25:19,614
Is it because they felt
that you took Corey's spot?

424
00:25:19,614 --> 00:25:23,249
No. That was my spot for
three years before he came along.

425
00:25:23,249 --> 00:25:25,130
Uh, isn't Corey the better point guard?

426
00:25:25,130 --> 00:25:27,783
No. Ben is a very good player.

427
00:25:27,783 --> 00:25:30,743
He has a scholarship from a college in Iowa.

428
00:25:30,743 --> 00:25:33,337
Congratulations.

429
00:25:35,174 --> 00:25:39,110
Paul died five years ago of a heart attack.

430
00:25:40,504 --> 00:25:46,560
Well, I'm sure he would
have been proud of... the two of you.

431
00:25:46,560 --> 00:25:49,094
Ben?

432
00:25:49,094 --> 00:25:52,584
We think that Corey was in
this neighborhood after the game.

433
00:25:52,584 --> 00:25:55,989
Do you have any idea why he'd be here?

434
00:25:55,989 --> 00:25:56,946
No.

435
00:25:56,946 --> 00:25:59,172
Maybe he was following you...

436
00:25:59,172 --> 00:26:00,982
wanted to provoke you,
get you into a fight.

437
00:26:00,982 --> 00:26:02,996
Detectives, that's not what he said.

438
00:26:02,996 --> 00:26:04,880
He wouldn't mess with me.

439
00:26:04,880 --> 00:26:07,717
He knew better.

440
00:26:09,026 --> 00:26:11,193
What's that supposed to mean?

441
00:26:11,193 --> 00:26:13,802
Nothin'. I told you.

442
00:26:13,802 --> 00:26:15,624
I just came home and went in my room.

443
00:26:15,624 --> 00:26:18,836
Yeah, but you won an important game.
You played well.

444
00:26:18,836 --> 00:26:22,040
- Why hide in your room?
- Because I didn't play well.

445
00:26:22,040 --> 00:26:24,861
I missed half my free throws.

446
00:26:24,861 --> 00:26:28,575
I just...
wanted to be with myself.

447
00:26:28,575 --> 00:26:32,319
Fifty percent from the line.

448
00:26:32,319 --> 00:26:33,128
That's a rough night.

449
00:26:33,128 --> 00:26:35,083
I don't want you talking to my son anymore,

450
00:26:35,083 --> 00:26:38,536
and I don't want you in my house.

451
00:26:41,435 --> 00:26:43,740
Attempted field goal... 19.

452
00:26:43,740 --> 00:26:45,304
Rebound... 22.

453
00:26:45,304 --> 00:26:48,728
Uh, blocked shot... 26.

454
00:26:48,728 --> 00:26:51,585
Uh, field goal... 22.

455
00:26:51,585 --> 00:26:53,397
Steal... 18.

456
00:26:53,397 --> 00:26:54,695
You have something for me?

457
00:26:54,695 --> 00:26:59,768
Ben Watkins said he missed half of
his free throws during Corey's last game.

458
00:26:59,768 --> 00:27:04,024
The box score in the Ledger
has him making 10 out of 12.

459
00:27:04,024 --> 00:27:06,978
What kind of an athlete lies
to make himself look bad?

460
00:27:06,978 --> 00:27:09,857
Well, we tallied up the stats
from the last five games...

461
00:27:09,857 --> 00:27:12,674
and checked them against the stats
the team gave the city league.

462
00:27:12,674 --> 00:27:14,713
They all match except for Ben's.

463
00:27:14,713 --> 00:27:16,765
His stats were pumped up across the board...

464
00:27:16,765 --> 00:27:19,462
rebounds, free throws, field goals.

465
00:27:19,462 --> 00:27:21,621
Somebody's makin' him look good.

466
00:27:21,621 --> 00:27:23,782
Good enough for a college scholarship.

467
00:27:23,782 --> 00:27:27,316
Maybe this is what Corey found out was going on.

468
00:27:27,316 --> 00:27:30,780
College education,
ticket out of the neighborhood.

469
00:27:30,780 --> 00:27:34,483
Two lives must be the going price.

470
00:27:37,507 --> 00:27:40,405
Ben's stats have been inflated
over the last three months.

471
00:27:40,405 --> 00:27:42,913
It has to be either Rutherford or Powell.

472
00:27:42,913 --> 00:27:46,716
Rutherford's the one with
the motive to pump up Ben's stats...

473
00:27:46,716 --> 00:27:49,022
to hide the fact that
there were ringers on the team.

474
00:27:49,022 --> 00:27:51,406
So Corey Fergin discovered this fraud.

475
00:27:51,406 --> 00:27:54,074
He confronted Ben Watkins,
who then killed him.

476
00:27:54,074 --> 00:27:56,688
Well, we know Bracho talked to
some of the players.

477
00:27:56,688 --> 00:27:59,836
Ben might have been afraid
Bracho would find out the truth.

478
00:27:59,836 --> 00:28:02,028
He lured him to the park and shot him.

479
00:28:02,028 --> 00:28:04,683
Mm-hmm. With what gun?

480
00:28:04,683 --> 00:28:08,937
Ben's father died of a heart attack behind
the counter of his convenience store.

481
00:28:08,937 --> 00:28:11,242
It's on 125th Street.

482
00:28:11,242 --> 00:28:12,952
Convenience store.

483
00:28:12,952 --> 00:28:16,239
A gun's practically standard equipment.

484
00:28:16,239 --> 00:28:18,094
I told you. Paul and I never owned a gun.

485
00:28:18,094 --> 00:28:20,610
There's nothing in there but personal items.

486
00:28:20,610 --> 00:28:22,798
It's broken.

487
00:28:22,798 --> 00:28:24,754
Empty.

488
00:28:24,754 --> 00:28:27,098
No gun.

489
00:28:27,741 --> 00:28:30,863
You should be relieved, Mrs. Watkins,
but you're not.

490
00:28:30,863 --> 00:28:31,712
Why aren't you?

491
00:28:31,712 --> 00:28:33,245
L-I don't know what you're talking about.

492
00:28:33,245 --> 00:28:36,899
- Well...
- Mom.! Why are the police here?

493
00:28:36,899 --> 00:28:38,721
What are you doin' here?
Where's my mother?

494
00:28:38,721 --> 00:28:40,690
She's okay. She's okay.
Where is it, Ben?

495
00:28:40,690 --> 00:28:44,037
Tell me where the gun that
your mom kept in the desk is, Ben.

496
00:28:44,037 --> 00:28:45,292
Come on.
I don't have it anymore.

497
00:28:45,292 --> 00:28:46,769
Not anymore.
That means you took the gun.

498
00:28:46,769 --> 00:28:48,071
Yeah, but I had to give it up.

499
00:28:48,071 --> 00:28:49,975
Is that why you said
Corey didn't wanna mess with you...

500
00:28:49,975 --> 00:28:52,333
- because you showed him a gun?
- You can't talk to him. He's 17.

501
00:28:52,333 --> 00:28:53,714
Is that why Corey never called you out...

502
00:28:53,714 --> 00:28:56,512
when he knew that your stats were phonied up?

503
00:28:56,512 --> 00:29:00,757
My stats?
What's wrong with my stats?

504
00:29:00,757 --> 00:29:03,677
What, are you gonna tell us that
you don't know about that?

505
00:29:03,677 --> 00:29:06,656
No more.
Come on.

506
00:29:12,589 --> 00:29:14,084
He doesn't know?

507
00:29:14,084 --> 00:29:16,717
No. He doesn't have a clue about anything.

508
00:29:16,717 --> 00:29:20,951
The gun, he brought it
to school to scare Corey.

509
00:29:20,951 --> 00:29:22,200
Maybe somebody caught him with it.

510
00:29:22,200 --> 00:29:24,776
By someone who didn't report it...

511
00:29:24,776 --> 00:29:27,388
one of the coaches.

512
00:29:27,388 --> 00:29:30,128
Home of Coach Powell 440 West
163Rd Street, Monday, January 20

513
00:29:30,128 --> 00:29:33,535
Picket-fence play.
Four players in a row,

514
00:29:33,535 --> 00:29:35,913
fifth dribbles behind.
It's old-school.

515
00:29:35,913 --> 00:29:37,900
Everything about Powell is old-school.

516
00:29:37,900 --> 00:29:41,896
I think he stopped buying jackets
when Wilt Chamberlain retired.

517
00:29:41,896 --> 00:29:45,571
These must be his former
players and their kids.

518
00:29:45,571 --> 00:29:48,775
It's beginning to look a little
like Goodbye, Mr. Chips in here.

519
00:29:48,775 --> 00:29:51,832
At least Mr. Chips had a wife.

520
00:29:52,410 --> 00:29:56,049
Cranberry seedling.

521
00:29:56,049 --> 00:30:01,995
With my dad, it was avocado
pits in a glass of water.

522
00:30:06,524 --> 00:30:09,830
TV.

523
00:30:09,830 --> 00:30:12,670
He stood over the sink,

524
00:30:12,670 --> 00:30:15,160
and he ate while he watched TV.

525
00:30:15,160 --> 00:30:16,878
Something you do?

526
00:30:16,878 --> 00:30:19,355
No.

527
00:30:19,355 --> 00:30:24,323
No. I found the same arrangement
when I cleaned out my dad's apartment.

528
00:30:27,549 --> 00:30:33,937
Huh.
Looks like Mr. Chips is buying a home.

529
00:30:33,937 --> 00:30:36,132
An ad from a home insurance company.

530
00:30:36,132 --> 00:30:38,095
"Call for free quotes."

531
00:30:38,095 --> 00:30:42,326
And he wrote in the margins...
"Fire, theft, sump pump."

532
00:30:42,326 --> 00:30:45,045
- Hmm.
- Sump pump insurance?

533
00:30:45,045 --> 00:30:47,965
Sump pumps keep water out of basements.

534
00:30:47,965 --> 00:30:53,996
You'd only need to add that to your policy
if you lived in a... a flood plain.

535
00:31:06,138 --> 00:31:10,632
Iowa has flood plains.

536
00:31:10,632 --> 00:31:12,323
We checked Powell's credit report.

537
00:31:12,323 --> 00:31:14,339
He applied for a mortgage
on a two-bedroom house...

538
00:31:14,339 --> 00:31:16,995
a half an hour's drive from Mid-Iowa College.

539
00:31:16,995 --> 00:31:18,870
- A house?
- Right.

540
00:31:18,870 --> 00:31:22,771
For Mr. Powell,
Ben Watkins and his mother.

541
00:31:22,771 --> 00:31:24,935
Mr. Powell and Ms. Watkins
are having an affair?

542
00:31:24,935 --> 00:31:29,849
We haven't found any actual evidence
of one in either of their homes.

543
00:31:29,849 --> 00:31:33,889
But Powell probably inflated Ben's
stats to help him get into college.

544
00:31:33,889 --> 00:31:35,953
And he put a down payment on a house.

545
00:31:35,953 --> 00:31:37,337
It's hard to imagine that he'd do either

546
00:31:37,337 --> 00:31:41,095
unless he had some hope for a relationship.

547
00:31:41,095 --> 00:31:46,641
And Ms. Watkins gave him that hope?

548
00:31:46,641 --> 00:31:49,576
She might have said it with flowers.

549
00:31:49,576 --> 00:31:53,044
Powell has a, uh, cranberry
seedling in his kitchen.

550
00:31:53,044 --> 00:31:55,947
Now, according to this,
a gift of a cranberry plant...

551
00:31:55,947 --> 00:31:59,214
"is a cure for the lonely heart."

552
00:31:59,214 --> 00:32:03,539
That's something a florist would think of.

553
00:32:04,461 --> 00:32:07,219
I know this guy.

554
00:32:07,219 --> 00:32:12,097
He's a lonely man with a shot at happiness.

555
00:32:12,097 --> 00:32:14,060
He's gonna fight for it.

556
00:32:14,060 --> 00:32:17,284
Well, lucky for him
Karen Watkins is covering his back.

557
00:32:17,284 --> 00:32:19,370
She won't let her son tell us about the gun.

558
00:32:19,370 --> 00:32:21,517
She doesn't wanna jeopardize his scholarship.

559
00:32:21,517 --> 00:32:23,501
- Or Coach Powell.
- Right.

560
00:32:23,501 --> 00:32:27,783
I wonder about her feelings for Coach Powell.

561
00:32:27,783 --> 00:32:30,092
Romney.

562
00:32:30,092 --> 00:32:33,626
So it was Romney after all.

563
00:32:33,626 --> 00:32:35,527
That's what we told the D.A.

564
00:32:35,527 --> 00:32:37,246
And those searches...

565
00:32:37,246 --> 00:32:43,259
Ben Watkins's home,
my home, my office.

566
00:32:43,259 --> 00:32:46,605
Those were mistakes.

567
00:32:46,605 --> 00:32:51,731
I'm sorry, Coach,
for embarrassing you.

568
00:32:53,239 --> 00:32:57,096
That's not the only reason I came here.

569
00:32:57,096 --> 00:32:59,110
You know, when the D.A.
Prosecutes Romney,

570
00:32:59,110 --> 00:33:00,178
other facts are gonna come out...

571
00:33:00,178 --> 00:33:02,772
facts that have nothing
to do with Corey's murder.

572
00:33:02,772 --> 00:33:05,447
Spit it out, Goren.

573
00:33:05,447 --> 00:33:08,937
Ben's stats.

574
00:33:11,452 --> 00:33:15,470
The D.A. Will be obliged to notify
the school board and the college...

575
00:33:15,470 --> 00:33:17,660
that they were altered.

576
00:33:17,660 --> 00:33:20,023
There'll be criminal charges.

577
00:33:20,023 --> 00:33:25,695
A civil suit.
Even if you don't go to jail,

578
00:33:25,695 --> 00:33:28,553
they'll take your pension.

579
00:33:28,553 --> 00:33:32,920
But if the college were to get a letter now...

580
00:33:32,920 --> 00:33:38,261
correcting the stats,

581
00:33:39,007 --> 00:33:42,491
there'd be no harm, no foul.

582
00:33:42,491 --> 00:33:46,166
Look, you shouldn't lose everything
because you helped this kid.

583
00:33:46,166 --> 00:33:51,530
You know, when my father died,

584
00:33:51,530 --> 00:33:54,148
he had just enough money to, uh,

585
00:33:54,148 --> 00:33:57,531
cover his funeral.

586
00:33:59,922 --> 00:34:03,369
That shouldn't happen to you.

587
00:34:04,765 --> 00:34:08,618
Thanks for the heads-up.

588
00:34:20,372 --> 00:34:23,375
Karen, I'm just sayin',

589
00:34:23,375 --> 00:34:25,926
even though Ben has the scholarship,

590
00:34:25,926 --> 00:34:28,400
he should keep his options open.

591
00:34:28,400 --> 00:34:34,057
He's made up his mind, Perry.
It's all he can talk about.

592
00:34:34,057 --> 00:34:37,547
As long as nothing upsets
what we've worked for.

593
00:34:37,547 --> 00:34:40,038
I've done everything I can for him, Karen.

594
00:34:40,038 --> 00:34:44,450
I know.
You won't be disappointed.

595
00:34:46,063 --> 00:34:48,022
Ben will be home from the movie soon.

596
00:34:48,022 --> 00:34:51,659
I'll wrap up some cake for you.

597
00:35:05,101 --> 00:35:07,084
Sorry. Bad time, Coach?

598
00:35:07,084 --> 00:35:10,485
There's a game tonight.
I have to prepare.

599
00:35:10,485 --> 00:35:12,525
What do you want?

600
00:35:12,525 --> 00:35:16,100
Well, we just hit a snag in the Romney case.

601
00:35:16,100 --> 00:35:19,285
"Snag"?

602
00:35:20,377 --> 00:35:22,867
I've already told you everything I know.

603
00:35:22,867 --> 00:35:24,596
I'll explain more when my partner gets back.

604
00:35:24,596 --> 00:35:26,994
You know, when we were searching your place,

605
00:35:26,994 --> 00:35:30,154
you were working on the picket-fence play.

606
00:35:30,154 --> 00:35:31,689
I want the team to know it.

607
00:35:31,689 --> 00:35:33,632
They all play the one-on-one game now.

608
00:35:33,632 --> 00:35:37,398
That picket-fence play, that's...
That's a classic of teamwork.

609
00:35:37,398 --> 00:35:39,787
That's right.

610
00:35:39,787 --> 00:35:45,279
Well, maybe with a little teamwork,
we can all get over this snag.

611
00:35:47,873 --> 00:35:50,712
Ah, Mrs. Watkins.

612
00:35:50,712 --> 00:35:51,786
Why are you here?

613
00:35:51,786 --> 00:35:55,430
This involves her too.
Please have a seat.

614
00:35:56,963 --> 00:36:02,800
So, the snag.
It's the gun.

615
00:36:02,800 --> 00:36:05,280
I told you there was never a gun.
Ben just misunderstood.

616
00:36:05,280 --> 00:36:11,348
Now, look, we all want to make sure...
that Ben gets to that college in Iowa.

617
00:36:11,348 --> 00:36:17,281
So, Ms. Watkins,
you kept the gun in the desk.

618
00:36:17,281 --> 00:36:20,199
Yes. Yes, I did.

619
00:36:20,199 --> 00:36:22,387
And Ben took it to school.

620
00:36:22,387 --> 00:36:24,925
Yes, I believe he did.

621
00:36:24,925 --> 00:36:26,497
Well, good. Good.

622
00:36:26,497 --> 00:36:29,674
Now all we need to do is explain
what happened to that gun.

623
00:36:29,674 --> 00:36:31,479
Ben said that he gave it up,

624
00:36:31,479 --> 00:36:36,946
and I'm thinkin;...
that a benevolent authority figure...

625
00:36:36,946 --> 00:36:39,928
took it away from him.
You know, a basketball coach for example.

626
00:36:39,928 --> 00:36:42,216
All right. I took it from him...

627
00:36:42,216 --> 00:36:44,587
before he did something foolish with it.

628
00:36:44,587 --> 00:36:47,489
And that would be how long ago?

629
00:36:47,489 --> 00:36:48,615
Three months.

630
00:36:48,615 --> 00:36:50,314
And what did you do with it?

631
00:36:50,314 --> 00:36:52,523
I returned it to Mrs. Watkins.

632
00:36:52,523 --> 00:36:56,075
I told her she shouldn't keep a gun
in the house, to get rid of the thing.

633
00:36:56,075 --> 00:36:57,673
I threw it in the river.

634
00:36:57,673 --> 00:37:00,943
Three months ago?

635
00:37:00,943 --> 00:37:05,105
That's when Ben's stats
started improving, isn't it?

636
00:37:05,105 --> 00:37:07,069
I guess. L-I'm not sure.

637
00:37:07,069 --> 00:37:09,274
Coach started paying more attention to Ben.

638
00:37:09,274 --> 00:37:11,542
- I'm sure you noticed that.
- Yes.

639
00:37:11,542 --> 00:37:14,747
You started paying
more attention to... to Coach.

640
00:37:14,747 --> 00:37:18,511
And you paid attention to him,
Coach paid attention to Ben,

641
00:37:18,511 --> 00:37:24,770
Ben's stats kept improving.

642
00:37:24,770 --> 00:37:27,134
It's nice how that worked out,
isn't it?

643
00:37:27,134 --> 00:37:28,542
Don't take that tone with her.

644
00:37:28,542 --> 00:37:32,427
You're not gonna keep denying this,
are ya? Are ya?

645
00:37:32,427 --> 00:37:37,016
The cranberry seedling from your store.

646
00:37:37,016 --> 00:37:40,814
After all, a guy can only...

647
00:37:40,814 --> 00:37:45,602
spend so many nights eatin'
over the kitchen sink.

648
00:37:45,602 --> 00:37:49,075
He can only look at so many
pictures of his former players...

649
00:37:49,075 --> 00:37:52,339
with their wives and their kids...

650
00:37:52,339 --> 00:37:55,301
before he's gotta grab that
brass ring for himself.

651
00:37:55,301 --> 00:37:57,455
Now you stop this right now.

652
00:37:57,455 --> 00:38:00,959
He told you that...

653
00:38:00,959 --> 00:38:05,911
that he wanted to help Ben
qualify for a scholarship,

654
00:38:05,911 --> 00:38:10,438
how with a little sweat
and a few encouraging words...

655
00:38:10,438 --> 00:38:13,339
He left out the part about
pumping up Ben's stats, didn't he?

656
00:38:13,339 --> 00:38:16,369
It's not true.
Ben earned those stats.

657
00:38:16,369 --> 00:38:20,818
I've seen my son play.
L-I trust Coach Powell.

658
00:38:23,411 --> 00:38:25,544
You... You know how to pick 'em, Coach.

659
00:38:25,544 --> 00:38:26,890
Now, you go ahead, Goren.

660
00:38:26,890 --> 00:38:29,687
You get it all out, all that defiance.

661
00:38:29,687 --> 00:38:33,913
You see that? His understanding
of what makes a young man tick...

662
00:38:33,913 --> 00:38:37,929
it's like a gift.

663
00:38:37,929 --> 00:38:39,521
You're lucky, you know,

664
00:38:39,521 --> 00:38:42,484
he'll be sharing that with you and your son...

665
00:38:42,484 --> 00:38:45,042
out there on the flood plains of Iowa.

666
00:38:45,042 --> 00:38:46,931
- What are you talk...
- Okay, that's it!

667
00:38:46,931 --> 00:38:50,054
Oh, was that supposed to be a surprise?

668
00:38:50,054 --> 00:38:55,423
The coach put a down payment on
a two-bedroom house near your son's college.

669
00:38:55,423 --> 00:38:58,724
Yeah. That's one bedroom for Ben
and one bedroom for you and-and...

670
00:38:58,724 --> 00:39:02,478
well, the coach.

671
00:39:04,602 --> 00:39:07,789
Karen, now's not the time.

672
00:39:07,789 --> 00:39:11,607
I think he means now's not the time
to jeopardize your son's scholarship.

673
00:39:11,607 --> 00:39:14,503
Shut up.
This is none of your business!

674
00:39:14,503 --> 00:39:16,671
Perry and I wanted to keep things low-key,

675
00:39:16,671 --> 00:39:19,511
so Ben wouldn't find out
until we were ready to tell him.

676
00:39:19,511 --> 00:39:21,984
You mean, like the occasional date or...

677
00:39:21,984 --> 00:39:23,924
ride home after the games.

678
00:39:23,924 --> 00:39:27,875
Yes. Perry's been very proper.
I appreciate that.

679
00:39:27,875 --> 00:39:30,814
I'm sure you do.

680
00:39:30,814 --> 00:39:35,181
The game... a few weeks ago,

681
00:39:35,181 --> 00:39:39,376
Corey Fergin's last game.

682
00:39:39,376 --> 00:39:42,764
Coach drive you home?

683
00:39:42,764 --> 00:39:44,972
No. No, I took the bus.

684
00:39:44,972 --> 00:39:47,809
Now, uh, you were thinkin'
about your son's scholarship

685
00:39:47,809 --> 00:39:50,156
when you answered that question,
weren't you?

686
00:39:50,156 --> 00:39:53,488
Wanted to make sure you did
the right thing didn't put

687
00:39:53,488 --> 00:39:55,427
the coach outside your home,

688
00:39:55,427 --> 00:39:57,963
a block from where Corey was murdered.

689
00:39:57,963 --> 00:40:01,086
But don't worry.
You know, you-you did fine.

690
00:40:01,086 --> 00:40:03,762
There's one more thing. You said that
you threw the gun in the river.

691
00:40:03,762 --> 00:40:05,380
- Yes.
- Then why were you surprised,

692
00:40:05,380 --> 00:40:07,896
when we opened the compartment,
it was empty?

693
00:40:07,896 --> 00:40:09,338
L-I'm not sure.

694
00:40:09,338 --> 00:40:12,320
See? There you go, thinkin'
about your son's scholarship again.

695
00:40:12,320 --> 00:40:18,337
You know what? If I was you,
I wouldn't think about it so hard.

696
00:40:18,337 --> 00:40:22,714
Coach Powell faxed the college
a correction of Ben's stats.

697
00:40:22,714 --> 00:40:24,420
He was afraid he'd be charged with fraud

698
00:40:24,420 --> 00:40:26,608
if they discovered what he'd done.

699
00:40:26,608 --> 00:40:29,102
You what?
What does that mean?

700
00:40:29,102 --> 00:40:33,504
It means the college revoked Ben's scholarship.

701
00:40:34,185 --> 00:40:38,848
It doesn't matter, Karen.
I have savings.

702
00:40:38,848 --> 00:40:41,438
I'll pay for his college.

703
00:40:41,438 --> 00:40:45,754
Won't that be paradise, huh?
Livin'off the coach's savings.

704
00:40:45,754 --> 00:40:48,185
Nice little house, middle of nowhere...

705
00:40:48,185 --> 00:40:49,370
just the three of you.

706
00:40:49,370 --> 00:40:51,937
No, never. I don't love you.
This is about Ben.

707
00:40:51,937 --> 00:40:55,462
Couldn't you see that?

708
00:40:55,462 --> 00:40:59,828
Ms. Watkins, did he drive
you home that night after the game?

709
00:40:59,828 --> 00:41:03,168
He used your son to get to you.
He killed another boy.

710
00:41:03,168 --> 00:41:05,553
He told your son that he was a great player.

711
00:41:05,553 --> 00:41:07,555
He made your son believe it.

712
00:41:07,555 --> 00:41:08,990
What's he gonna say to your son now?

713
00:41:08,990 --> 00:41:12,029
I can still help Ben.
I can make him into something.

714
00:41:12,029 --> 00:41:15,360
Oh, listen to the coach.
He's just molding that clay,

715
00:41:15,360 --> 00:41:18,283
just moldin'it until he gets
what he wants out of it.

716
00:41:18,283 --> 00:41:21,694
I can. I mean it.

717
00:41:21,694 --> 00:41:28,031
Did he drive you home that night?

718
00:41:28,031 --> 00:41:29,565
Give me a chance, Karen.

719
00:41:29,565 --> 00:41:33,617
Yes, he did. He drove me.
He tried to kiss me.

720
00:41:33,617 --> 00:41:35,282
I saw someone watching us.

721
00:41:35,282 --> 00:41:37,212
Karen, please, don't...
don't do this.

722
00:41:37,212 --> 00:41:39,502
Someone on a bike.

723
00:41:39,502 --> 00:41:43,375
I got out of the car and went upstairs.

724
00:41:43,375 --> 00:41:45,442
And then, later, he called me.

725
00:41:45,442 --> 00:41:51,371
He said never to tell anyone
he'd been there that night.

726
00:41:51,371 --> 00:41:59,178
It's because Corey confronted him
after seeing him with you.

727
00:41:59,178 --> 00:42:04,865
So he took Corey for
a walk down by the river,

728
00:42:04,865 --> 00:42:11,034
this kid who was just
fightin' for his own future.

729
00:42:13,300 --> 00:42:15,953
And the gun?

730
00:42:15,953 --> 00:42:19,748
He came over for coffee the next week.

731
00:42:19,748 --> 00:42:24,438
I left him in the apartment
while I ran down to the laundry room.

732
00:42:24,438 --> 00:42:27,869
He knew where I kept the gun.

733
00:42:27,869 --> 00:42:32,760
Didn't you see how Ben looked up to you?

734
00:42:38,081 --> 00:42:41,305
Coach, you're under arrest.

735
00:42:44,328 --> 00:42:48,221
Heads-up, huh? You really got
the old man good, didn't you?

736
00:42:48,221 --> 00:42:51,304
Well, that's how I beat all
my men on the court, Coach...

737
00:42:51,304 --> 00:42:53,065
head fake.

738
00:42:53,065 --> 00:42:56,576
The way you talk about the game,
it's just as well you stopped playing.

739
00:42:56,576 --> 00:43:00,898
You got no love for it.

740
00:43:03,833 --> 00:43:07,179
Well, he is hardly one to talk.

741
00:43:07,179 --> 00:43:10,193
No, he's right.

742
00:43:10,193 --> 00:43:12,603
I stopped lovin' the game...

743
00:43:12,603 --> 00:43:17,051
when I saw it... it wasn't
getting me what I wanted.

744
00:43:19,460 --> 00:43:22,057
