1
00:00:00,868 --> 00:00:02,564
NARRATOR:
In the
criminal justice system
2
00:00:02,636 --> 00:00:06,539
the people are represented by two
separate yet equally important groups,
3
00:00:06,607 --> 00:00:08,371
the police who investigate crime
4
00:00:08,442 --> 00:00:11,207
and the district attorneys
who prosecute the offenders.
5
00:00:11,278 --> 00:00:12,541
These are their stories.
6
00:00:15,082 --> 00:00:17,108
JUDGE: Has the
jury reached a verdict?
7
00:00:17,284 --> 00:00:19,014
FOREWOMAN: We have, Your Honor.
8
00:00:19,653 --> 00:00:23,818
On the sole count of Attempted Murder
in the First Degree, how do you find?
9
00:00:24,892 --> 00:00:29,455
We find the defendant,
Darnell Marbury,
10
00:00:31,064 --> 00:00:32,157
not guilty.
11
00:00:32,332 --> 00:00:34,460
(ALL CLAMORING)
12
00:00:34,635 --> 00:00:35,830
JUDGE: Order.
13
00:00:35,903 --> 00:00:37,030
(BANGING GAVEL)
14
00:00:37,104 --> 00:00:38,504
I want quiet in here.
15
00:00:43,277 --> 00:00:44,575
Order! Order!
16
00:00:44,645 --> 00:00:46,204
MAN: You're gonna pay for this.
17
00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:47,509
Order!
18
00:00:48,448 --> 00:00:51,077
Court Officers, escort the
jury out of the courtroom.
19
00:00:52,686 --> 00:00:54,552
(SPECTATORS CHANTING)
20
00:00:57,791 --> 00:01:02,491
They had ballistics. They
had forensics. They had motive.
21
00:01:02,563 --> 00:01:05,260
Don't forget the
eyewitness. Oh, two, actually.
22
00:01:05,799 --> 00:01:07,324
Rabbit out of
the hat, my friend.
23
00:01:07,401 --> 00:01:10,064
No, no, no. Rabbit? Hell,
it was more like a hippo.
24
00:01:10,203 --> 00:01:12,832
Hey, who the hell
attacks an arrest warrant?
25
00:01:12,906 --> 00:01:16,138
No, no, no. An arrest warrant
that was perfectly executed.
26
00:01:16,243 --> 00:01:18,007
Oh, that is why I
get the big bucks.
27
00:01:18,078 --> 00:01:20,673
Yeah, right, if only you'd
send out a bill now and then.
28
00:01:20,814 --> 00:01:22,174
How many times
do I have to say it?
29
00:01:22,215 --> 00:01:24,184
You cannot put a
price on civil rights.
30
00:01:24,918 --> 00:01:27,387
Order some appetizers.
I'm going out for a smoke.
31
00:01:28,455 --> 00:01:31,220
Not only is he going to
hit the front page tomorrow,
32
00:01:31,892 --> 00:01:35,795
but it looks like he's going to
do the do with Marian Sherwood.
33
00:01:35,862 --> 00:01:39,230
Oh, no! Nobody
does Miss Sherwood.
34
00:01:39,333 --> 00:01:40,653
I think that's the
38th Amendment.
35
00:01:40,701 --> 00:01:43,762
Nobody gets an acquittal
with two eyewitnesses, either.
36
00:01:43,971 --> 00:01:46,099
Oh, can we talk about Cheryl?
37
00:01:46,173 --> 00:01:47,903
(GUNSHOTS OUTSIDE)
38
00:01:48,942 --> 00:01:51,002
Was that... Vance.
39
00:01:54,881 --> 00:01:56,907
You guys are gonna love this.
40
00:01:56,984 --> 00:01:58,316
Is that who I think it is?
41
00:01:58,385 --> 00:02:00,945
The one and only Vance
Grodie, Attorney-at-Law.
42
00:02:01,021 --> 00:02:02,021
Damn.
43
00:02:02,289 --> 00:02:04,781
He made me trip over
my tongue more than once.
44
00:02:04,858 --> 00:02:07,987
Buddy says he came out for a
cigarette, somebody started blasting.
45
00:02:08,462 --> 00:02:10,795
Well, somebody went
home with an empty clip.
46
00:02:11,865 --> 00:02:13,959
Looks like he got
hit five or six times.
47
00:02:14,801 --> 00:02:15,996
Anybody see anything?
48
00:02:16,103 --> 00:02:19,437
A lady saw a guy run to a side
street and speed off in a blue Chevy.
49
00:02:19,506 --> 00:02:20,530
We're still canvassing.
50
00:02:20,607 --> 00:02:22,735
How about people out
looking for a gun? We're on it.
51
00:02:22,843 --> 00:02:24,203
You heard about
the verdict, right?
52
00:02:24,244 --> 00:02:25,576
Yeah, it's all over the news.
53
00:02:25,679 --> 00:02:27,457
This must have been
Grodie's victory celebration.
54
00:02:27,481 --> 00:02:30,076
Can you believe that
SOB Marbury got off?
55
00:02:30,584 --> 00:02:32,746
Yeah, maybe next time he won't.
56
00:03:23,637 --> 00:03:25,799
He didn't expect the
verdict for a couple of days.
57
00:03:27,674 --> 00:03:30,337
So this wasn't a
planned get-together?
58
00:03:31,445 --> 00:03:33,880
Nah, it's kind of a tradition.
59
00:03:34,881 --> 00:03:36,144
You get a verdict, you buy.
60
00:03:37,484 --> 00:03:40,113
He called my cell maybe 8:30.
61
00:03:40,887 --> 00:03:41,887
ED: And you?
62
00:03:43,857 --> 00:03:45,155
Oh, um...
63
00:03:46,093 --> 00:03:49,063
I was in my office. I heard
the verdict on the radio
64
00:03:49,296 --> 00:03:51,577
and just assumed Vance would
be here with his wallet open.
65
00:03:51,698 --> 00:03:52,893
Did he carry a lot of cash?
66
00:03:54,534 --> 00:03:56,867
Vance Grodie didn't do
what he did for money.
67
00:03:56,970 --> 00:03:59,997
I guess every adversarial
system needs a bad guy.
68
00:04:00,073 --> 00:04:02,008
Actually, Vance
was the good guy.
69
00:04:02,342 --> 00:04:04,087
You still didn't answer the
question about the cash.
70
00:04:04,111 --> 00:04:07,479
Are you serious? You really
think this was a robbery?
71
00:04:08,148 --> 00:04:09,148
What do you think it was?
72
00:04:14,287 --> 00:04:15,346
Who am I to speculate?
73
00:04:15,422 --> 00:04:17,948
You're the closest thing we
have to a witness, that's who.
74
00:04:18,091 --> 00:04:22,586
Look, it's no surprise Marbury's
acquittal pissed off a lot of people.
75
00:04:22,729 --> 00:04:23,729
Meaning cops.
76
00:04:25,365 --> 00:04:26,365
Just speculating.
77
00:04:28,368 --> 00:04:29,612
You know, when I
went to take a leak,
78
00:04:29,636 --> 00:04:32,116
there was this guy in there that
was saying things about Vance.
79
00:04:32,639 --> 00:04:34,198
BRISCOE: Like what?
80
00:04:34,508 --> 00:04:37,410
Like, "How can you eat with
that sleaze without getting sick?"
81
00:04:38,311 --> 00:04:40,974
He was pretty plastered,
breathing gin in my face.
82
00:04:41,548 --> 00:04:43,483
A white guy. 5'9 ", 5'10".
83
00:04:43,550 --> 00:04:44,574
That's it?
84
00:04:44,651 --> 00:04:47,177
I didn't get a good look.
He was in the next urinal.
85
00:04:49,122 --> 00:04:52,183
A 5'10" white guy who had too
much to drink. Story of my life.
86
00:04:52,259 --> 00:04:54,524
Was there anyone here
tonight you hadn't seen before?
87
00:04:54,594 --> 00:04:56,062
Downing a lot of gin.
88
00:04:56,196 --> 00:04:58,188
What time we talking
about? 9:00, 9:30.
89
00:04:58,932 --> 00:05:00,594
Does a half a dozen
Tom Collins count?
90
00:05:00,700 --> 00:05:01,963
Yeah, for most people.
91
00:05:02,302 --> 00:05:04,737
He was like one of
those silent types.
92
00:05:04,805 --> 00:05:06,535
A couple of ladies
tried to cozy up.
93
00:05:06,873 --> 00:05:08,985
He ignored them, like he had
something else to think about.
94
00:05:09,009 --> 00:05:11,035
Did he pay cash or charge?
95
00:05:11,111 --> 00:05:12,511
Cash.
96
00:05:12,579 --> 00:05:14,815
You know, he was
wearing a dark windbreaker,
97
00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:16,482
with like a golf shirt under it.
98
00:05:16,550 --> 00:05:20,681
His shirt had one of those company
logos on it, but I don't remember what.
99
00:05:20,787 --> 00:05:22,983
What time did he
split? I couldn't say.
100
00:05:23,056 --> 00:05:25,582
I just turned around and
there was a pile of cash.
101
00:05:26,126 --> 00:05:27,890
But it was before
Vance was shot.
102
00:05:28,428 --> 00:05:30,488
Okay, thanks.
We'll let you know.
103
00:05:31,097 --> 00:05:32,208
A golf shirt and a windbreaker.
104
00:05:32,232 --> 00:05:34,010
That doesn't sound like
the Wall Street type to me.
105
00:05:34,034 --> 00:05:36,902
Well, I doubt they wear
their Armanis to bed.
106
00:05:37,370 --> 00:05:39,032
Cops don't sleep in their blues.
107
00:05:39,806 --> 00:05:40,850
I don't want to hear it, Ed.
108
00:05:40,874 --> 00:05:44,038
Hey, man, I'm just suggesting that
we go straight to the horse's mouth.
109
00:05:47,447 --> 00:05:49,541
Hey, it comes
with the job, right?
110
00:05:49,616 --> 00:05:51,778
I mean, you sign
on, you gotta expect...
111
00:05:52,986 --> 00:05:54,147
I don't gotta tell you guys.
112
00:05:55,355 --> 00:05:56,399
Are you sure you don't want?
113
00:05:56,423 --> 00:05:57,686
No, thanks, man.
114
00:05:57,757 --> 00:05:59,157
Hey, you know what?
115
00:05:59,226 --> 00:06:01,866
I can drink as much as I want
now without ever going to the pisser.
116
00:06:02,729 --> 00:06:05,209
It all runs down a tube into
this bag I got strapped to my leg.
117
00:06:06,199 --> 00:06:08,134
I'm so sorry for what
happened to you, Chris.
118
00:06:08,201 --> 00:06:09,201
What's to be sorry?
119
00:06:09,803 --> 00:06:13,296
I'm still getting paid by the job
and all I gotta do is answer phones.
120
00:06:13,373 --> 00:06:14,432
Fat City, right?
121
00:06:15,175 --> 00:06:17,076
And the best part
is, I get a day off
122
00:06:17,143 --> 00:06:19,510
after the guy that put
me here gets a free pass.
123
00:06:19,579 --> 00:06:20,877
Who could ask for anything more?
124
00:06:21,681 --> 00:06:23,741
You know, the job's
always here for you.
125
00:06:23,984 --> 00:06:25,509
Yeah, this is it.
126
00:06:26,653 --> 00:06:28,144
This is my world.
127
00:06:30,690 --> 00:06:32,181
Marbury took my life
128
00:06:35,095 --> 00:06:38,190
and that son of a bitch Grodie
got him off. I'm glad he's dead.
129
00:06:39,933 --> 00:06:42,773
I just wish I could be there to spit
on him before the M.E. cuts him up.
130
00:06:46,339 --> 00:06:47,773
Maybe this isn't a good time.
131
00:06:47,841 --> 00:06:49,639
Yeah, I'll be better tomorrow.
132
00:06:51,011 --> 00:06:53,845
Look, man, you know
we've got a job to do, right?
133
00:06:55,382 --> 00:06:56,816
I know what you're thinking.
134
00:06:58,385 --> 00:07:00,183
You're thinking someone
on the job did this.
135
00:07:01,588 --> 00:07:03,352
And you should be
ashamed of yourselves.
136
00:07:05,992 --> 00:07:07,051
Well, he's right.
137
00:07:07,127 --> 00:07:09,028
Hey, I don't love
this guy Grodie either,
138
00:07:09,095 --> 00:07:11,428
but that doesn't mean I'm
gonna turn my back on his killer.
139
00:07:11,531 --> 00:07:14,933
Let me hear again all the
evidence you have implicating a cop.
140
00:07:15,001 --> 00:07:18,699
I'm just saying that maybe Wilson got
together with a couple of his buddies,
141
00:07:18,772 --> 00:07:20,968
they had a couple of
drinks, they start talking.
142
00:07:21,041 --> 00:07:22,618
Next thing you know,
you've got a lynch mob.
143
00:07:22,642 --> 00:07:25,510
Only they would have
lynched Marbury, not his lawyer.
144
00:07:25,578 --> 00:07:27,843
Maybe they couldn't
find him. Maybe he's next.
145
00:07:28,114 --> 00:07:30,640
I've got news for you,
Ed, this isn't the Wild West.
146
00:07:30,750 --> 00:07:32,750
Yeah? Well you tell that
to Amadou Diallo's family.
147
00:07:32,819 --> 00:07:34,651
This whole blue
wall thing, dinosaur.
148
00:07:34,721 --> 00:07:37,054
Look, you show me
the first drop of blue
149
00:07:37,123 --> 00:07:39,592
and I'll sit right beside you
on the bandwagon. Fine.
150
00:07:39,659 --> 00:07:41,150
Look, I don't think Marbury's
151
00:07:41,227 --> 00:07:45,358
the first unfortunate victim of
sociopolitical circumstances
152
00:07:45,432 --> 00:07:46,798
that Grodie got acquitted.
153
00:07:50,904 --> 00:07:54,204
Vance convinces the judge that
the radar gun was miscalibrated,
154
00:07:54,274 --> 00:07:56,038
so the cop was
reckless in using it.
155
00:07:56,643 --> 00:07:59,112
And he actually has the
balls to ask for damages,
156
00:07:59,479 --> 00:08:01,141
both compensatory and punitive.
157
00:08:01,681 --> 00:08:04,082
The judge had such a good
time listening to his argument,
158
00:08:04,150 --> 00:08:05,880
he awarded Vance $1,000.
159
00:08:06,119 --> 00:08:08,145
Which he donated to the ACLU?
160
00:08:08,355 --> 00:08:11,348
No, he kept a running
tab at the local pub,
161
00:08:11,424 --> 00:08:13,188
open to anyone
who worked legal aid.
162
00:08:14,728 --> 00:08:15,787
He had a gift.
163
00:08:16,029 --> 00:08:17,840
Maybe he should have
stuck to speeding tickets.
164
00:08:17,864 --> 00:08:19,332
You don't get it.
165
00:08:19,399 --> 00:08:21,800
For Vance, the arguing
was an end unto itself.
166
00:08:22,402 --> 00:08:25,634
Yeah, but unfortunately he
argued for the wrong people.
167
00:08:25,905 --> 00:08:28,807
You mean the underprivileged,
the poor, the disenfranchised?
168
00:08:28,875 --> 00:08:30,104
No. The guilty.
169
00:08:30,210 --> 00:08:31,769
They're the ones
who need it most.
170
00:08:33,013 --> 00:08:36,211
The shooting, did it have something
to do with the Marbury acquittal?
171
00:08:36,349 --> 00:08:37,817
That's one possibility.
172
00:08:37,884 --> 00:08:39,910
Listen, we were wondering,
173
00:08:39,986 --> 00:08:43,582
did Vance have any financial or
personal problems that you're aware of?
174
00:08:43,656 --> 00:08:45,852
Look, we all know this
was an assassination.
175
00:08:46,226 --> 00:08:49,060
We have cabinets full of
unpopular cases and clients.
176
00:08:49,529 --> 00:08:52,363
Well, we'd like to start by
going through all your files.
177
00:08:53,733 --> 00:08:55,361
You're kidding me, right?
178
00:08:56,669 --> 00:08:58,900
It's their self-righteousness
that gets me.
179
00:08:58,972 --> 00:09:00,532
They could say the
same thing about you.
180
00:09:00,607 --> 00:09:02,701
Why? 'Cause I don't
think a cop shot Grodie?
181
00:09:02,776 --> 00:09:04,574
Oh, come on,
Lennie, do the math.
182
00:09:04,711 --> 00:09:08,807
Hey, 1992. I'm testifying
in a double homicide.
183
00:09:08,882 --> 00:09:11,442
Lloyd and Julie Lippman,
husband and wife.
184
00:09:11,518 --> 00:09:12,952
It was a break-in gone bad.
185
00:09:13,119 --> 00:09:16,886
I got the shooter nailed,
cold. Ramon Vasquez.
186
00:09:16,990 --> 00:09:18,424
The son of a bitch confesses.
187
00:09:18,758 --> 00:09:20,226
Grodie gets me on the stand,
188
00:09:20,293 --> 00:09:23,388
starts questioning me about
my extra-curricular activities.
189
00:09:23,463 --> 00:09:24,931
Oh, you mean the liquid kind.
190
00:09:25,031 --> 00:09:28,729
He had the jury convinced I was running
around solving cases in between shots.
191
00:09:28,835 --> 00:09:30,701
Hey, man, from
what I hear, you were.
192
00:09:31,971 --> 00:09:34,065
You wanna talk to Chris
Wilson's old partner, fine.
193
00:09:34,140 --> 00:09:36,075
Hey, wait, wait. Wait a minute.
194
00:09:36,176 --> 00:09:37,256
What happened with Vasquez?
195
00:09:37,477 --> 00:09:38,809
Grodie got him acquitted.
196
00:09:38,878 --> 00:09:41,973
Two weeks later, Vasquez
kills two high school students.
197
00:09:42,048 --> 00:09:43,448
You see, that's what I'm saying.
198
00:09:43,516 --> 00:09:45,542
That was 10 years
ago and you're still mad.
199
00:09:46,152 --> 00:09:48,121
Yeah, but I didn't
shoot the guy.
200
00:09:49,355 --> 00:09:50,550
Where can we find Vitelli?
201
00:09:54,894 --> 00:09:58,160
Let me guess, Homicide?
Damn, and I just ran out of cigars.
202
00:09:58,231 --> 00:09:59,597
That ain't funny, man.
203
00:09:59,999 --> 00:10:01,279
Your partner needs to loosen up.
204
00:10:01,868 --> 00:10:02,868
That is loose.
205
00:10:02,936 --> 00:10:05,848
Look, my shift commander pulled me off
the street for this. Can we hurry it up?
206
00:10:05,872 --> 00:10:07,272
How long did you
ride with Wilson?
207
00:10:07,340 --> 00:10:08,535
Year and a half.
208
00:10:08,608 --> 00:10:09,819
I was with him when he got shot.
209
00:10:09,843 --> 00:10:11,004
Wasn't one of my better days.
210
00:10:11,077 --> 00:10:12,101
And how was yesterday?
211
00:10:13,513 --> 00:10:15,744
Top 10 with a bullet,
no pun intended.
212
00:10:16,282 --> 00:10:18,294
The world's a better place
now that Grodie's worm food.
213
00:10:18,318 --> 00:10:20,583
Hey, man, talk like that
will make you a suspect.
214
00:10:20,653 --> 00:10:22,485
Hey, how many legs
does your partner have?
215
00:10:22,555 --> 00:10:23,579
Calm down.
216
00:10:23,656 --> 00:10:25,935
When it happens to you and you
see the scumball who did it walk away,
217
00:10:25,959 --> 00:10:27,086
come back and talk to me.
218
00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:29,061
Hey, Vitelli, take it easy.
219
00:10:33,433 --> 00:10:35,629
Last night I pulled
a 4:00 by 12:00 shift.
220
00:10:36,769 --> 00:10:39,671
Around the time Oliver
Wendell Sleazebag took a bullet,
221
00:10:40,173 --> 00:10:43,769
I was on 116th Street chasing down a
couple of punks who robbed a bodega.
222
00:10:44,277 --> 00:10:45,768
You want, check the blotter.
223
00:10:47,747 --> 00:10:49,045
Chris was a good cop.
224
00:10:49,115 --> 00:10:50,493
Sure, he was
well-liked by everybody,
225
00:10:50,517 --> 00:10:53,214
but I can't see anyone here
taking this into their own hands.
226
00:10:53,853 --> 00:10:57,290
Here's Vitelli. He
collared two uptown, 7:35.
227
00:10:57,690 --> 00:10:59,852
We're also gonna need to
take a look at your roll call.
228
00:10:59,926 --> 00:11:00,926
What for?
229
00:11:00,994 --> 00:11:04,328
We want to know everybody in this
precinct who was off duty last night.
230
00:11:04,430 --> 00:11:07,559
Between vacations, sick days and
RDOs, there's more than 20 guys,
231
00:11:07,634 --> 00:11:08,897
including me.
232
00:11:08,968 --> 00:11:11,184
It's okay, Lennie. I'm
sure Sergeant Lawrence
233
00:11:11,208 --> 00:11:13,099
will compile a list
and forward it on.
234
00:11:13,473 --> 00:11:14,941
LAWRENCE: Not a problem.
235
00:11:16,943 --> 00:11:21,074
There was something in that blotter,
an entry from last night, 1854 hours,
236
00:11:21,147 --> 00:11:24,777
"Sector George transporting
MOS family member to 100 Centre."
237
00:11:25,451 --> 00:11:28,216
Unusual to give a cop's
relative a lift to the courthouse
238
00:11:28,288 --> 00:11:29,483
at 7:00 at night.
239
00:11:29,656 --> 00:11:31,887
It's unusual and against
Department regulations.
240
00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:36,272
So we got a call from dispatch
to pick up Chris Wilson's brother
241
00:11:36,296 --> 00:11:39,266
from some car dealer on
11th Ave. What's the problem?
242
00:11:39,465 --> 00:11:42,594
So, you're saying that Command
asked you to violate the regs?
243
00:11:42,869 --> 00:11:45,309
Cop takes one in the line of
duty, the regs go out the window.
244
00:11:45,338 --> 00:11:46,815
ED: That cop was
shot over a year ago.
245
00:11:46,839 --> 00:11:49,001
Yeah, well, for some
of us, the pain lingers.
246
00:11:49,075 --> 00:11:51,635
Wilson's brother, you
drove him to the courthouse?
247
00:11:51,844 --> 00:11:54,964
Cap promised Chris he'd have him there
for the verdict. Just in case, you know.
248
00:11:55,048 --> 00:11:56,048
No, I don't.
249
00:11:56,616 --> 00:11:58,915
In case it got emotional. He
wanted his family's support.
250
00:11:59,586 --> 00:12:01,248
Wilson's brother. Kevin.
251
00:12:01,454 --> 00:12:02,454
Kevin.
252
00:12:02,755 --> 00:12:08,319
Was he 5'10", 165 pounds, brown
hair, wearing a navy blue windbreaker?
253
00:12:08,394 --> 00:12:09,394
Sounds about right.
254
00:12:12,865 --> 00:12:14,527
I figured Chris would
need the support,
255
00:12:14,601 --> 00:12:16,601
but it turned out to be
me that couldn't handle it.
256
00:12:17,136 --> 00:12:19,503
All that kid's been through and
he ends up holding my hand.
257
00:12:19,973 --> 00:12:21,965
I'll tell you what.
He's a strong kid.
258
00:12:22,308 --> 00:12:23,367
Me, on the other hand...
259
00:12:23,876 --> 00:12:27,369
And after the verdict, you and
Chris, what, went out for a couple?
260
00:12:27,513 --> 00:12:28,537
No, he wanted to go home.
261
00:12:28,615 --> 00:12:31,084
So I helped him into his car
and we went back to his place.
262
00:12:31,150 --> 00:12:34,382
That's funny. Because a guy
that fits your description to a tee
263
00:12:34,454 --> 00:12:36,355
was drinking gin at
Lafayette Grill last night.
264
00:12:36,522 --> 00:12:38,923
Yeah, right about the
time that lawyer got shot.
265
00:12:42,528 --> 00:12:45,123
You know, I think we
should take some quality time
266
00:12:45,198 --> 00:12:47,497
and discuss this under
the proper conditions.
267
00:12:47,634 --> 00:12:49,603
I want to talk to my
brother about this.
268
00:12:50,770 --> 00:12:52,500
I think you'll be
talking to us first.
269
00:12:59,479 --> 00:13:01,744
It's not good but it's hot.
270
00:13:01,814 --> 00:13:02,814
What is this?
271
00:13:03,182 --> 00:13:06,050
You're supposed to lull me into
confessing to something I didn't do?
272
00:13:07,253 --> 00:13:10,155
Back in the day, we
wouldn't use coffee.
273
00:13:11,124 --> 00:13:14,117
Back in the day, cop killers
didn't live long enough to go to trial.
274
00:13:14,260 --> 00:13:16,286
First off, your
brother's not dead.
275
00:13:16,362 --> 00:13:17,853
Well, he might as well be.
276
00:13:19,932 --> 00:13:22,367
You know, you never saw
a 2-guard with a better shot.
277
00:13:23,202 --> 00:13:25,137
The kid was like
butter, you know?
278
00:13:25,438 --> 00:13:27,066
Coach from Rutgers
came to see him play.
279
00:13:27,140 --> 00:13:30,167
But all that dumb bastard wanted
to do was "protect and serve."
280
00:13:31,577 --> 00:13:33,136
Just 'cause our dad...
281
00:13:34,113 --> 00:13:35,479
Your dad was on the job?
282
00:13:36,015 --> 00:13:37,813
In Queens.
283
00:13:37,884 --> 00:13:39,045
Damn him!
284
00:13:40,453 --> 00:13:43,287
You can't blame your dad
for what happened, Kev.
285
00:13:44,524 --> 00:13:45,822
So who should I blame?
286
00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:47,652
Vance Grodie?
287
00:13:50,596 --> 00:13:51,928
Okay.
288
00:13:52,332 --> 00:13:53,742
I followed Grodie
into the restaurant.
289
00:13:53,766 --> 00:13:56,668
I didn't know what I was going to
do, but I knew I had to do something.
290
00:13:56,736 --> 00:13:57,736
And?
291
00:13:58,104 --> 00:14:01,666
I drank myself into a
stupor, I crawled into a cab
292
00:14:01,741 --> 00:14:03,767
and I blew my lunch just
as soon as I got home.
293
00:14:04,077 --> 00:14:07,172
You left out the part about
bad-mouthing Grodie in the john.
294
00:14:08,014 --> 00:14:09,744
What? So that
means I killed him?
295
00:14:09,816 --> 00:14:11,751
Add it all up, I
wouldn't bet against it.
296
00:14:11,818 --> 00:14:14,083
I didn't so much as
talk to the son of a bitch.
297
00:14:15,688 --> 00:14:18,157
He was hitting on two babes.
Maybe one of them got jealous.
298
00:14:18,391 --> 00:14:19,825
These babes have names?
299
00:14:19,892 --> 00:14:21,451
How would I know?
300
00:14:21,527 --> 00:14:24,361
Check Grodie's Palm Pilot.
The blonde left him her number.
301
00:14:26,165 --> 00:14:28,165
Grodie didn't have a Palm
Pilot when we got to him.
302
00:14:28,701 --> 00:14:32,604
That would be a lot of lead just
to steal an electronic phone book.
303
00:14:35,141 --> 00:14:36,541
I'm not so sure.
304
00:14:38,911 --> 00:14:40,903
Grodie had Marbury's
address in there.
305
00:14:46,619 --> 00:14:49,453
Who is it? It's
the police, ma'am.
306
00:14:51,023 --> 00:14:52,047
What do you want?
307
00:14:52,125 --> 00:14:53,650
We'd like to speak with Darnell.
308
00:14:53,726 --> 00:14:55,957
He isn't lived here since
you locked him up last year.
309
00:14:56,195 --> 00:14:57,195
You're his mother, right?
310
00:14:57,263 --> 00:14:58,754
Don't mind who I am.
311
00:14:59,265 --> 00:15:00,893
Darnell ain't stupid
enough to come back
312
00:15:00,967 --> 00:15:02,778
where he knows you're
gonna be looking for him.
313
00:15:02,802 --> 00:15:04,862
Ms. Marbury, your son
could be in a lot of danger.
314
00:15:04,937 --> 00:15:06,838
Yeah, from you.
315
00:15:07,874 --> 00:15:11,072
Last time you people came for him,
you shot up the whole damn building.
316
00:15:11,277 --> 00:15:13,644
His lawyer is dead.
He could be next.
317
00:15:14,747 --> 00:15:16,545
Darnell can take
care of himself.
318
00:15:17,216 --> 00:15:18,844
Now, I got food on the stove.
319
00:15:21,087 --> 00:15:22,555
Hey, Chandra, it's Ed.
320
00:15:22,622 --> 00:15:24,716
Did you get a hit on that
number I left with you?
321
00:15:24,791 --> 00:15:26,316
Yeah, okay. Hurry up.
322
00:15:26,793 --> 00:15:28,989
Mom made an outgoing phone
call about two minutes ago.
323
00:15:29,662 --> 00:15:31,130
We know it wasn't for take-out.
324
00:15:32,365 --> 00:15:36,803
Yeah, 113 West 145th
Street. Apartment 6-B.
325
00:15:37,703 --> 00:15:39,903
All right baby, I got it.
Thank you. I'll see you later.
326
00:15:43,176 --> 00:15:44,269
What up?
327
00:15:44,343 --> 00:15:45,834
You know why we're here.
328
00:15:45,912 --> 00:15:47,073
Man, we gave at the office.
329
00:15:47,146 --> 00:15:50,378
Hey, yo, we need
to speak with Darnell.
330
00:15:50,950 --> 00:15:51,950
Who?
331
00:15:52,118 --> 00:15:55,145
His lawyer was murdered.
We just need some information.
332
00:15:55,655 --> 00:15:57,521
Tell Rupert I'm
talking with you.
333
00:15:57,990 --> 00:16:01,188
Look, man, Darnell is a
witness, he's not a suspect.
334
00:16:02,295 --> 00:16:03,695
What if he don't
wanna be a witness?
335
00:16:03,830 --> 00:16:05,594
Then maybe he wants
to be the next victim.
336
00:16:05,665 --> 00:16:08,134
Look, man, tell Darnell that
we'll meet him in a public place.
337
00:16:08,201 --> 00:16:10,170
We'll lay it all out for him.
338
00:16:15,641 --> 00:16:17,405
Chicken place across the street.
339
00:16:17,477 --> 00:16:19,605
Order a happy meal
or something and wait.
340
00:16:26,886 --> 00:16:29,321
Now you know how I feel
on the Upper East Side.
341
00:16:41,801 --> 00:16:44,566
So, Darnell, have you
been watching the news?
342
00:16:44,971 --> 00:16:48,373
Your get-out-of-jail-free
ticket took five in the chest.
343
00:16:53,079 --> 00:16:54,604
I guess he's in mourning, Ed.
344
00:16:55,348 --> 00:16:57,317
Whoever did it might
be after you, bro.
345
00:16:58,951 --> 00:16:59,991
And you want to catch him?
346
00:17:04,357 --> 00:17:07,623
Grodie was all right. He
wasn't all about the money.
347
00:17:07,693 --> 00:17:09,855
ED: Yeah, well, somebody
had a problem with that.
348
00:17:12,331 --> 00:17:14,091
He didn't deserve what
happened 'cause of me.
349
00:17:15,868 --> 00:17:17,393
Is that a conscience I hear?
350
00:17:20,273 --> 00:17:21,273
Something like that.
351
00:17:32,552 --> 00:17:34,043
It's my fan mail from the joint.
352
00:17:34,887 --> 00:17:37,857
I'd appreciate it if my current
address stays confidential.
353
00:17:43,696 --> 00:17:45,130
Some nasty stuff here.
354
00:17:45,765 --> 00:17:49,896
"They should string up spook cop
killers like you in Madison Square Garden."
355
00:17:50,436 --> 00:17:52,268
"Garden" spelled with an "I."
356
00:17:53,039 --> 00:17:55,065
Oh, get this one.
357
00:17:55,241 --> 00:18:01,670
"Confess your crimes or God will
send the Angel of Death. You will die.
358
00:18:02,181 --> 00:18:03,843
"Your lawyer will die."
359
00:18:06,419 --> 00:18:08,820
I was able to identify
three different publications
360
00:18:08,888 --> 00:18:10,356
based on their
distinctive type-sets
361
00:18:10,423 --> 00:18:12,324
and the text on the
underside of the cutouts.
362
00:18:12,391 --> 00:18:13,586
Wackos Illustrated?
363
00:18:13,693 --> 00:18:18,427
Close.
House & Garden,
Redbook and
Tropical Fish Monthly.
364
00:18:19,031 --> 00:18:20,966
We ran a printout of each
magazine's subscribers
365
00:18:21,033 --> 00:18:23,111
in the Suffolk County ZIP Code
where the letter was mailed.
366
00:18:23,135 --> 00:18:25,604
There was one name in
common, Thalia Raye Phillips.
367
00:18:26,272 --> 00:18:28,112
You want to take the
Northern State or the LIE?
368
00:18:31,677 --> 00:18:35,239
That
Redbook. I'm
thinking of canceling it.
369
00:18:35,982 --> 00:18:38,816
It's getting far too
risqué for my taste.
370
00:18:39,218 --> 00:18:40,481
Sex, sex, sex.
371
00:18:40,653 --> 00:18:42,781
It's disgusting is what it is.
372
00:18:43,456 --> 00:18:46,358
Anyway, I'm sorry you two
traveled all the way out here,
373
00:18:46,826 --> 00:18:49,261
but I don't know
anyone named Mayberry.
374
00:18:49,762 --> 00:18:52,254
Actually, that's
Marbury, Mrs. Phillips.
375
00:18:52,698 --> 00:18:54,496
Well, of course,
you just told me that.
376
00:18:55,301 --> 00:18:56,929
Or the one with the funny name?
377
00:18:57,003 --> 00:18:58,062
Yeah, Vance Grodie.
378
00:18:58,137 --> 00:18:59,298
I don't know him either.
379
00:19:00,406 --> 00:19:01,897
Did he do something terrible?
380
00:19:02,241 --> 00:19:03,800
It depends on who you ask.
381
00:19:04,110 --> 00:19:06,788
We're very sorry to have troubled
you, Mrs. Phillips. Thank you very much.
382
00:19:06,812 --> 00:19:08,337
No trouble at all.
383
00:19:08,514 --> 00:19:11,460
Mrs. Phillips, what do you do with your
magazines when you're done with them?
384
00:19:11,484 --> 00:19:13,248
The town here has recycling.
385
00:19:13,319 --> 00:19:16,187
And a nice young man in the
building takes them out for me.
386
00:19:16,255 --> 00:19:17,255
ED: Thank you.
387
00:19:18,858 --> 00:19:20,292
Mind if we step in, Mr. Preuss?
388
00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:21,520
Of course not.
389
00:19:21,761 --> 00:19:23,481
Anything I can do to
help New York's finest.
390
00:19:24,330 --> 00:19:25,930
Although, you are a
little far from home.
391
00:19:26,065 --> 00:19:28,557
BRISCOE: Well, we're
investigating some suspicious mail
392
00:19:28,634 --> 00:19:29,863
that was sent from this area.
393
00:19:30,102 --> 00:19:32,094
Isn't the Post Office
supposed to do that?
394
00:19:32,171 --> 00:19:33,571
They're not as fine as we are.
395
00:19:33,773 --> 00:19:35,605
How long have you lived
out here, Mr. Preuss?
396
00:19:35,675 --> 00:19:36,870
Three years.
397
00:19:36,942 --> 00:19:38,222
You go into the city very often?
398
00:19:38,611 --> 00:19:40,375
No. I'm not really a city guy.
399
00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:43,149
Tell me about it. The
smells. The traffic.
400
00:19:43,215 --> 00:19:44,581
And forget about the parking.
401
00:19:44,817 --> 00:19:46,786
No, I'll bet Mr. Preuss
takes the train.
402
00:19:46,852 --> 00:19:50,254
He probably has a nice car. He
wouldn't want some parking guy nicking it.
403
00:19:50,322 --> 00:19:51,790
What kind of car do you drive?
404
00:19:52,058 --> 00:19:53,058
A Chevy.
405
00:19:53,626 --> 00:19:55,492
What does that have to
do with suspicious mail?
406
00:19:55,961 --> 00:19:57,122
The Second Amendment, huh?
407
00:19:57,196 --> 00:20:00,008
I believe every American is entitled
to protect his home and loved ones.
408
00:20:00,032 --> 00:20:02,024
9/11 actually made
the masses realize that.
409
00:20:02,768 --> 00:20:04,703
Yeah, every cloud
has a silver lining.
410
00:20:05,071 --> 00:20:07,015
While we're here, you mind if
we take a look at your weapon?
411
00:20:07,039 --> 00:20:08,519
Am I being investigated
for something?
412
00:20:08,908 --> 00:20:10,900
The American Patriot Union?
413
00:20:11,444 --> 00:20:14,312
What is that? Some
kind of historical society?
414
00:20:15,848 --> 00:20:17,928
Maybe we shouldn't talk
anymore until I get a lawyer.
415
00:20:17,983 --> 00:20:19,144
Sixth Amendment, right?
416
00:20:19,285 --> 00:20:21,085
Well, you can tell him
to meet us in the city.
417
00:20:27,193 --> 00:20:28,684
Barbecue sauce.
418
00:20:29,295 --> 00:20:32,390
The American Patriot Union sells
barbecue sauce over the Internet.
419
00:20:32,631 --> 00:20:33,631
Is that a crime?
420
00:20:33,699 --> 00:20:35,744
FINESTEIN: My partner filed all
the corporate documents himself.
421
00:20:35,768 --> 00:20:37,008
They're up to date with Albany.
422
00:20:37,269 --> 00:20:38,897
The taxes are paid.
423
00:20:38,971 --> 00:20:41,338
ED: You're not a criminal
attorney, are you, Mr. Finestein?
424
00:20:42,041 --> 00:20:43,703
(CHUCKLES)
425
00:20:43,976 --> 00:20:44,976
I went to law school.
426
00:20:45,711 --> 00:20:48,579
Well, then that would qualify
you to try a murder case.
427
00:20:48,647 --> 00:20:49,647
What?
428
00:20:49,749 --> 00:20:52,480
BRISCOE: Mr. Rib Sauce here
may have killed Vance Grodie.
429
00:20:52,551 --> 00:20:53,814
I don't even know who that is.
430
00:20:53,986 --> 00:20:54,986
I do.
431
00:20:55,054 --> 00:20:57,353
You know where all the
money from all that sauce goes?
432
00:20:57,423 --> 00:20:58,823
We have a lot of expenses.
433
00:20:58,891 --> 00:21:00,917
ED: Yeah, guns, explosives.
434
00:21:00,993 --> 00:21:03,019
BRISCOE: All those
copies of
Mein Kampf.
435
00:21:04,964 --> 00:21:06,432
Maybe I'm not
qualified for this.
436
00:21:07,566 --> 00:21:10,263
Don't say anything until you
get yourself another lawyer.
437
00:21:14,273 --> 00:21:16,113
Just can't trust those
people, can you, Julian?
438
00:21:17,343 --> 00:21:18,436
Am I under arrest?
439
00:21:18,511 --> 00:21:22,915
No, but you can consider yourself our
guest until your new counsel shows up.
440
00:21:27,386 --> 00:21:31,153
The first blip on the FBI's radar
screen about the American Patriot Union
441
00:21:31,223 --> 00:21:33,852
was in Virginia,
about 10 years ago.
442
00:21:34,293 --> 00:21:36,262
They're a cross between
the Christian right
443
00:21:36,328 --> 00:21:38,820
and some of the nationalist
militias we'd see out West.
444
00:21:39,031 --> 00:21:41,057
God and guns. Bad chemistry.
445
00:21:41,167 --> 00:21:43,636
Their leader, Stephen
LeClerk, is serving federal time
446
00:21:43,702 --> 00:21:45,694
for blowing up the
car of a Florida judge.
447
00:21:45,971 --> 00:21:47,735
So how close are
we on ballistics?
448
00:21:47,807 --> 00:21:51,801
A hop, skip and a jump. Preuss'
membership in the gun club lapsed.
449
00:21:51,911 --> 00:21:53,539
So there's no locker, no gun.
450
00:21:53,612 --> 00:21:56,138
Did you check the
American Patriot Union office?
451
00:21:56,849 --> 00:21:57,929
I didn't know they had one.
452
00:21:59,585 --> 00:22:00,785
Well, a warrant would be nice.
453
00:22:00,820 --> 00:22:02,345
So would probable cause.
454
00:22:02,421 --> 00:22:06,791
Well, we could go talk to them,
but I doubt they'd open up to us.
455
00:22:11,297 --> 00:22:12,765
What? You think
they'll talk to me?
456
00:22:13,365 --> 00:22:15,027
Blonde hair. Blue eyes.
457
00:22:15,100 --> 00:22:17,126
Hell, if you're lucky,
they'll put you on a poster.
458
00:22:17,770 --> 00:22:19,102
Oh, gee, thanks.
459
00:22:22,875 --> 00:22:24,639
I've been following
your website for years.
460
00:22:24,710 --> 00:22:26,235
Whoever does your
artwork is brilliant.
461
00:22:26,312 --> 00:22:27,780
It's out of the
Nashville office.
462
00:22:27,847 --> 00:22:31,113
What was that article about defense
lawyers defiling the Constitution?
463
00:22:31,183 --> 00:22:32,183
That blew me away.
464
00:22:32,251 --> 00:22:35,585
That was Julian. Preuss.
465
00:22:35,654 --> 00:22:37,054
He runs this office.
466
00:22:37,323 --> 00:22:40,384
I'm new around here. I just left
the city after three miserable years.
467
00:22:40,693 --> 00:22:43,754
That armpit. I don't know
how you lasted this long.
468
00:22:44,163 --> 00:22:46,155
If I could get some
literature? Yeah.
469
00:22:50,035 --> 00:22:52,869
I was thinking about getting
one of these. How do you like it?
470
00:22:53,439 --> 00:22:55,431
There's a newer
model now. The 515.
471
00:22:55,507 --> 00:22:57,152
But Julian says that
it's a waste of money.
472
00:22:57,176 --> 00:22:59,020
My sister just bought one.
I can see what she thinks.
473
00:22:59,044 --> 00:23:00,342
Maybe you can return it.
474
00:23:03,282 --> 00:23:04,477
Hi, it's me.
475
00:23:04,550 --> 00:23:07,543
Yeah, that new PDA that you
bought, was that a Palm 515?
476
00:23:08,587 --> 00:23:10,215
'Cause my friend has a 105.
477
00:23:11,523 --> 00:23:13,563
Of course I'm sure, it's
sitting here in plain view.
478
00:23:16,262 --> 00:23:19,289
I lost her. She says you should
have splurged on the newer model.
479
00:23:21,834 --> 00:23:22,834
What's going on here?
480
00:23:23,202 --> 00:23:24,579
BRISCOE: Oh, just
collecting garbage.
481
00:23:24,603 --> 00:23:27,573
I want to see a warrant. Plain
sight, baby, we don't need one.
482
00:23:27,673 --> 00:23:30,643
Keep an eye on that desktop
until the paperwork gets here.
483
00:23:30,709 --> 00:23:31,709
Yes, sir.
484
00:23:32,177 --> 00:23:34,318
Julian Preuss bought
the exact model personal
485
00:23:34,342 --> 00:23:36,171
organizer that was
stolen from Grodie.
486
00:23:36,815 --> 00:23:39,341
He needed the software to
bypass Grodie's password
487
00:23:39,418 --> 00:23:41,910
and download his files onto
the hard drive of his computer.
488
00:23:42,054 --> 00:23:44,250
Get back to me when you
translate that into English.
489
00:23:44,490 --> 00:23:47,016
Preuss has all of the
names and addresses
490
00:23:47,092 --> 00:23:49,584
of Grodie's friends,
clients and associates.
491
00:23:49,929 --> 00:23:52,831
That could translate into a hit
list for the American Patriot Union.
492
00:23:53,065 --> 00:23:55,830
But we haven't actually
recovered Grodie's organizer?
493
00:23:56,001 --> 00:23:58,869
No, but Grodie's law
partner has ID'd the files.
494
00:23:59,605 --> 00:24:02,404
If he didn't take them, how'd
they end up on his computer?
495
00:24:02,641 --> 00:24:04,974
This electronic shell
game, you understand it?
496
00:24:05,044 --> 00:24:06,044
Yes.
497
00:24:06,178 --> 00:24:07,703
Then charge him with murder two.
498
00:24:08,948 --> 00:24:12,885
"Docket number 86661.
People v. Julian Preuss.
499
00:24:13,118 --> 00:24:16,111
"Murder in the Second Degree.
Robbery in the First Degree."
500
00:24:16,488 --> 00:24:18,218
How does your client
plead, Mr. Clemens?
501
00:24:18,424 --> 00:24:20,017
(BOTH WHISPERING)
502
00:24:20,326 --> 00:24:22,056
I don't have all day.
503
00:24:22,628 --> 00:24:24,597
My client instructs
me to stand mute.
504
00:24:25,030 --> 00:24:26,030
Mute?
505
00:24:26,098 --> 00:24:28,567
He claims any response will
be an admission of jurisdiction.
506
00:24:30,703 --> 00:24:32,968
Is he 730 material, Mr. Clemens?
507
00:24:33,238 --> 00:24:34,238
Are you crazy?
508
00:24:35,708 --> 00:24:36,708
No, Your Honor.
509
00:24:37,776 --> 00:24:41,269
Swell. I'm entering a plea of not
guilty on the defendant's behalf.
510
00:24:41,347 --> 00:24:42,406
People on bail?
511
00:24:42,481 --> 00:24:46,646
Your Honor, not only did the defendant
ambush and murder an officer of this court,
512
00:24:46,719 --> 00:24:48,688
but he's also a member
of a terrorist group.
513
00:24:48,754 --> 00:24:49,754
I object.
514
00:24:49,822 --> 00:24:53,020
So do I, Mr. Preuss. The
only difference is I'm allowed to.
515
00:24:53,225 --> 00:24:56,753
Your Honor, Mr. Preuss has acquired
all of Mr. Grodie's personal files.
516
00:24:57,096 --> 00:24:59,759
We believe that makes him a
threat to other innocent people.
517
00:24:59,932 --> 00:25:01,662
The People ask for remand.
518
00:25:02,334 --> 00:25:03,768
Do you want to
respond, Mr. Clemens?
519
00:25:04,236 --> 00:25:05,568
Is there any point?
520
00:25:05,637 --> 00:25:06,832
Actually, no.
521
00:25:07,506 --> 00:25:09,099
Is this what I get?
522
00:25:09,174 --> 00:25:10,972
Some liberal
hippie gypsy lawyer.
523
00:25:11,043 --> 00:25:13,877
The court appreciates your
color commentary, Mr. Preuss.
524
00:25:14,480 --> 00:25:15,743
And to show that appreciation,
525
00:25:15,814 --> 00:25:19,717
not only am I going to grant the
People's request for remand without bail,
526
00:25:19,785 --> 00:25:22,414
I'm also imposing special
administrative measures.
527
00:25:22,755 --> 00:25:26,817
That means that pending trial
you will have no contact with anyone
528
00:25:26,892 --> 00:25:28,986
except for the gypsy
fellow beside you.
529
00:25:29,061 --> 00:25:31,121
No phone calls. No mail.
530
00:25:32,164 --> 00:25:35,032
It looks like you should have gone
with your first instinct, Mr. Preuss.
531
00:25:35,100 --> 00:25:37,126
You know, the one
about standing mute.
532
00:25:42,508 --> 00:25:44,272
The SAM restrictions
weren't my idea.
533
00:25:44,510 --> 00:25:45,510
JACK: Come on.
534
00:25:45,611 --> 00:25:48,672
Well, I wish I could take credit,
but Taylor ruled sua sponte.
535
00:25:48,747 --> 00:25:49,874
Personal or political?
536
00:25:49,948 --> 00:25:51,416
Maybe a little bit of both.
537
00:25:51,583 --> 00:25:53,484
(DOOR OPENING) Preuss'
attorney was dumbfounded.
538
00:25:53,585 --> 00:25:56,783
She still is. Hello,
Jack. Serena.
539
00:25:57,489 --> 00:25:59,151
You're representing Preuss?
540
00:25:59,224 --> 00:26:02,388
You know, I had an opening in
my calendar and I said to myself,
541
00:26:02,461 --> 00:26:04,828
"What the hell, why not
defend our Constitution?"
542
00:26:05,798 --> 00:26:09,098
So here's my notice of appearance
on behalf of Julian Preuss.
543
00:26:09,735 --> 00:26:11,465
You know what he is?
544
00:26:12,004 --> 00:26:13,915
I know he deserves better
than some legal aid guy
545
00:26:13,939 --> 00:26:15,699
who needs a refresher
course in civil rights.
546
00:26:15,941 --> 00:26:17,901
I thought that you were
friends with Vance Grodie.
547
00:26:18,177 --> 00:26:19,177
I was.
548
00:26:19,445 --> 00:26:22,142
But if it doesn't bother
Preuss, it doesn't bother me.
549
00:26:22,214 --> 00:26:24,581
Besides, this is
precisely the sort of case
550
00:26:24,650 --> 00:26:26,642
that Vance Grodie
would have salivated over.
551
00:26:27,286 --> 00:26:29,346
Representing a member of
a white supremacy group?
552
00:26:29,455 --> 00:26:31,533
Representing a guy whose
civil rights have been obliterated
553
00:26:31,557 --> 00:26:33,617
by some overzealous
government official.
554
00:26:33,692 --> 00:26:35,490
You know what I hope?
What do you hope?
555
00:26:36,028 --> 00:26:38,759
I hope you never gave Vance
Grodie your home address.
556
00:26:39,064 --> 00:26:40,828
Oh, come on, Jack.
557
00:26:40,899 --> 00:26:43,130
I'm bringing an order to show
cause tomorrow in Part 50
558
00:26:43,202 --> 00:26:45,330
to vacate the special
administrative measures.
559
00:26:47,339 --> 00:26:48,830
Have a good day.
560
00:26:55,080 --> 00:26:57,208
Julian Preuss is accused
of a crime, Your Honor.
561
00:26:57,282 --> 00:26:58,726
But that doesn't make
him Hannibal Lecter.
562
00:26:58,750 --> 00:27:01,063
He's a member of a
group that's on the FBI's
563
00:27:01,087 --> 00:27:03,211
watch list of domestic
extremist groups.
564
00:27:03,755 --> 00:27:06,281
Excuse me, but doesn't
the First Amendment say
565
00:27:06,358 --> 00:27:08,327
that he can congregate
with whomever he chooses?
566
00:27:08,427 --> 00:27:09,827
You are kidding me, right?
567
00:27:09,895 --> 00:27:13,832
I assure you, Your Honor, Mr. Preuss
did not steal Vance Grodie's organizer
568
00:27:13,899 --> 00:27:16,061
in order to beef up
his Christmas card list.
569
00:27:16,768 --> 00:27:19,397
Everyone in it is
potentially in danger.
570
00:27:19,771 --> 00:27:22,297
I see. The prosecutor
reads minds now?
571
00:27:22,407 --> 00:27:25,172
Sarcasm isn't helping
your cause, Ms. Melnick.
572
00:27:25,544 --> 00:27:28,207
I'm sorry, Your Honor. The
law doesn't seem to be either.
573
00:27:28,914 --> 00:27:31,076
Your Honor, this court has
taken away from my client
574
00:27:31,150 --> 00:27:32,982
his First Amendment
right to expression,
575
00:27:33,385 --> 00:27:36,947
his right to assist in his own
defense, his right to due process.
576
00:27:37,022 --> 00:27:40,652
It is cruel and unusual to
bar a man not yet convicted
577
00:27:40,726 --> 00:27:42,456
from all contact with
the outside world.
578
00:27:42,528 --> 00:27:44,190
In most cases, yes, it is.
579
00:27:44,296 --> 00:27:47,858
But because of your client's
potential threat to innocent people,
580
00:27:47,933 --> 00:27:50,402
I am forced to uphold
Judge Taylor's ruling.
581
00:27:51,370 --> 00:27:54,602
The special administrative
measures will remain in place.
582
00:27:54,740 --> 00:27:56,800
Your Honor... Not
to worry, Counselor.
583
00:27:57,309 --> 00:28:00,438
Your client still has the right
584
00:28:00,512 --> 00:28:02,572
to your insightful repartee.
585
00:28:02,915 --> 00:28:04,008
(BANGS GAVEL)
586
00:28:11,823 --> 00:28:12,823
Hello, Jack.
587
00:28:13,859 --> 00:28:16,294
Okay, let's talk turkey.
588
00:28:17,596 --> 00:28:18,596
What are you up to?
589
00:28:18,664 --> 00:28:21,828
And don't give me that party line
about Preuss being a threat to society.
590
00:28:21,900 --> 00:28:25,302
When you argue, I have this
compulsive need to argue back.
591
00:28:25,437 --> 00:28:26,437
Really?
592
00:28:26,572 --> 00:28:28,049
Have you seen the
way he's being treated?
593
00:28:28,073 --> 00:28:29,166
Haven't had the pleasure.
594
00:28:29,241 --> 00:28:31,972
Let me tell you, you
wouldn't last 15 minutes.
595
00:28:32,144 --> 00:28:33,874
I didn't gun down a
member of the bar.
596
00:28:33,946 --> 00:28:35,005
And you're so sure he did?
597
00:28:35,714 --> 00:28:38,582
How else did he get the
files from Grodie's organizer?
598
00:28:38,784 --> 00:28:41,117
I don't know. Maybe it
was taken by an associate?
599
00:28:42,221 --> 00:28:45,487
Who also drives a blue Chevy and
sends letters from Suffolk County?
600
00:28:45,557 --> 00:28:47,549
Come on, Jack.
Let's be reasonable.
601
00:28:47,626 --> 00:28:49,527
Unless Preuss memorized
Grodie's phone book,
602
00:28:49,595 --> 00:28:51,564
there's nothing he
could have told anyone.
603
00:28:52,331 --> 00:28:55,495
Now, that's a good point. Perhaps you
should have raised that with Judge Lusky.
604
00:28:55,734 --> 00:28:56,734
Oh, nice.
605
00:28:57,836 --> 00:28:59,498
You know, I love you, Jack.
606
00:28:59,571 --> 00:29:01,563
But you are really
pissing me off.
607
00:29:12,884 --> 00:29:14,580
What can I get you?
608
00:29:14,753 --> 00:29:18,349
A Kevlar vest. A D.A. was
murdered in Florida last night.
609
00:29:18,423 --> 00:29:19,823
His name was Mark Featherstone.
610
00:29:20,659 --> 00:29:21,820
I never heard of him.
611
00:29:21,893 --> 00:29:25,261
He was a friend and classmate of
Vance Grodie's from Georgetown.
612
00:29:25,597 --> 00:29:26,963
Tell me it's a coincidence.
613
00:29:27,032 --> 00:29:29,729
His claim to fame was that he
prosecuted Stephen LeClerk,
614
00:29:29,801 --> 00:29:32,396
who was the founder of
the American Patriot Union,
615
00:29:32,471 --> 00:29:34,497
currently serving 25-to-life.
616
00:29:35,707 --> 00:29:37,335
Did you call the FBI?
617
00:29:38,010 --> 00:29:39,376
There's more.
618
00:29:39,444 --> 00:29:42,972
Featherstone was vacationing at
his fishing cabin in North Carolina.
619
00:29:43,282 --> 00:29:45,717
And his address is
on Grodie's organizer.
620
00:29:47,586 --> 00:29:50,488
Could this fella Preuss have
passed along Featherstone's address
621
00:29:50,555 --> 00:29:51,555
before we arrested him?
622
00:29:51,623 --> 00:29:55,253
Grodie's organizer was breached just
a few hours before Preuss was arrested.
623
00:29:55,327 --> 00:29:56,590
The cops are pretty sure
624
00:29:56,662 --> 00:30:00,099
that Preuss didn't have any contact
with anyone during that time period.
625
00:30:00,232 --> 00:30:03,828
And the computer technicians are sure
that they would have found an e-mail.
626
00:30:03,902 --> 00:30:07,862
Featherstone's wife told us only those
closest to him knew where the cabin was.
627
00:30:08,340 --> 00:30:10,502
No one in his office
even knew about it.
628
00:30:10,575 --> 00:30:12,840
So somehow Preuss
is calling the shots
629
00:30:12,911 --> 00:30:14,389
even though he's
separated from the world
630
00:30:14,413 --> 00:30:16,211
by a couple of tons
of steel and concrete.
631
00:30:16,281 --> 00:30:19,911
That's unlikely. He would have had to
have memorized Featherstone's address.
632
00:30:19,985 --> 00:30:22,454
Featherstone did
convict his fearless leader.
633
00:30:23,055 --> 00:30:25,066
If there was one address
he was going to focus on...
634
00:30:25,090 --> 00:30:28,288
You know, I've stayed in a
lot of fishing cabins in my time
635
00:30:28,360 --> 00:30:31,228
and they all have
addresses like 3 Trout Lane.
636
00:30:34,032 --> 00:30:35,500
50 Brook Road.
637
00:30:36,034 --> 00:30:38,629
Good theory, but the only
one to have contact with Preuss
638
00:30:38,704 --> 00:30:40,798
since he was jailed
is Danielle Melnick.
639
00:30:41,173 --> 00:30:42,413
Well, let's take a look at her.
640
00:30:43,041 --> 00:30:45,704
Hold on, Arthur. Danielle and I
have been friends for 20 years.
641
00:30:46,078 --> 00:30:47,078
Your point being?
642
00:30:47,145 --> 00:30:50,240
She was philosophically opposed
to the SAM restrictions, Jack.
643
00:30:50,449 --> 00:30:52,543
And she would not
knowingly break the law.
644
00:30:54,386 --> 00:30:55,979
Why don't I just ask her?
645
00:30:56,088 --> 00:30:58,182
That will give her the
chance to cover her tracks.
646
00:31:00,492 --> 00:31:01,755
Why don't we see what we can do
647
00:31:01,827 --> 00:31:04,797
about getting a wire in
the counsel room at Rikers
648
00:31:04,863 --> 00:31:06,559
before we rush to
judgment either way.
649
00:31:06,631 --> 00:31:09,567
Great plan. Only there's a little
thing called attorney-client privilege.
650
00:31:09,634 --> 00:31:12,502
Not when the attorney becomes
a conspirator, there's not.
651
00:31:23,582 --> 00:31:24,914
Danielle Melnick?
652
00:31:24,983 --> 00:31:27,612
Preuss had no other
visitors than Ms. Melnick.
653
00:31:28,353 --> 00:31:31,619
We had all of the corrections
officers take lie detector tests.
654
00:31:32,357 --> 00:31:35,691
If Preuss ordered the hit on
Featherstone, he did it with her help.
655
00:31:37,262 --> 00:31:41,222
You do realize, of course, if this
eavesdrop doesn't bear any fruit,
656
00:31:41,299 --> 00:31:43,427
the violation of
attorney-client privilege
657
00:31:43,502 --> 00:31:45,630
will probably be
cause for dismissal.
658
00:31:45,871 --> 00:31:47,999
There are a lot of names
in Grodie's organizer.
659
00:31:48,707 --> 00:31:50,573
We're willing to take the risk.
660
00:31:53,678 --> 00:31:55,306
It's your career, Counselor.
661
00:31:57,282 --> 00:31:59,794
MELNICK:
The file is right there
on your hard drive, Mr. Preuss.
662
00:31:59,818 --> 00:32:02,219
There's not much that
we can do with that.
663
00:32:02,287 --> 00:32:04,007
PREUSS:
We'll find
somebody to say it's not.
664
00:32:04,055 --> 00:32:05,785
I will not suborn perjury.
665
00:32:05,857 --> 00:32:08,224
Then we'll get an expert
witness to say that I was framed.
666
00:32:08,293 --> 00:32:10,285
That the government
put it there. Look, Julian...
667
00:32:10,362 --> 00:32:11,955
You're my lawyer, right?
668
00:32:12,030 --> 00:32:13,230
You're supposed to believe me.
669
00:32:13,265 --> 00:32:14,709
Yes, but I have to be
able to keep a straight face
670
00:32:14,733 --> 00:32:16,043
when I present
your case in court.
671
00:32:16,067 --> 00:32:18,627
The FBI has been
all over us for years.
672
00:32:19,137 --> 00:32:21,697
I'm guessing they weren't the
biggest fans of Mr. Grodie either.
673
00:32:22,107 --> 00:32:25,942
Add it up, they kill him,
put his info on my computer.
674
00:32:26,511 --> 00:32:28,036
It's two birds in one stone.
675
00:32:31,850 --> 00:32:33,182
Well,
676
00:32:34,119 --> 00:32:35,712
now you're getting warmer.
677
00:32:36,254 --> 00:32:39,554
I mean, at least with that one I
won't get laughed out of the courtroom.
678
00:32:39,624 --> 00:32:42,355
I know somebody.
He's a computer genius.
679
00:32:42,694 --> 00:32:44,629
He'll prove my story is true.
680
00:32:45,330 --> 00:32:46,696
Here.
681
00:32:46,765 --> 00:32:48,893
Take this name and
address to John Burke.
682
00:32:49,768 --> 00:32:51,579
The man who knows your
contact in North Carolina?
683
00:32:51,603 --> 00:32:54,163
That's right. He'll
take care of everything.
684
00:33:02,047 --> 00:33:04,091
SERENA:
I don't like this
any more than you do, Jack,
685
00:33:04,115 --> 00:33:06,175
but Danielle was
playing messenger boy.
686
00:33:06,251 --> 00:33:08,584
She did it once. She's
about to do it again.
687
00:33:09,254 --> 00:33:10,586
You're jumping to conclusions.
688
00:33:10,655 --> 00:33:11,766
She violated a judge's order.
689
00:33:11,790 --> 00:33:13,816
And you're
splitting hairs. Am I?
690
00:33:13,892 --> 00:33:16,191
What if the first note
said Mark Featherstone?
691
00:33:16,261 --> 00:33:17,889
What if it said 50 Brook Road?
692
00:33:17,963 --> 00:33:20,125
What if it said he wanted a
case full of Snickers bars?
693
00:33:20,232 --> 00:33:23,691
I think we owe it to Mark
Featherstone to find out what it did say.
694
00:33:24,503 --> 00:33:25,596
I'm gonna call Van Buren.
695
00:33:25,670 --> 00:33:26,763
No.
696
00:33:30,108 --> 00:33:31,474
I'll take care of it.
697
00:33:32,077 --> 00:33:33,636
(KNOCKING ON DOOR)
698
00:33:37,883 --> 00:33:39,784
Ever hear of the
telephone? I know it's late.
699
00:33:39,885 --> 00:33:41,183
Yeah, come in.
700
00:33:42,988 --> 00:33:44,422
Do you know why I'm here?
701
00:33:44,489 --> 00:33:46,822
No. Your golden
retriever threw you out?
702
00:33:46,892 --> 00:33:48,292
Mark Featherstone.
703
00:33:49,261 --> 00:33:50,261
Who?
704
00:33:52,497 --> 00:33:55,057
His address was on
Vance Grodie's organizer.
705
00:33:56,034 --> 00:33:57,696
He was an A.D.A. in Florida.
706
00:33:58,236 --> 00:33:59,329
Yeah, so?
707
00:34:00,071 --> 00:34:01,437
He was murdered.
708
00:34:05,176 --> 00:34:06,371
What?
709
00:34:07,846 --> 00:34:10,042
I know Preuss
used you, Danielle.
710
00:34:12,150 --> 00:34:13,150
Jack.
711
00:34:13,218 --> 00:34:14,858
And he's doing it
again. Wait, wait, wait.
712
00:34:14,920 --> 00:34:16,445
We have you on tape.
713
00:34:16,521 --> 00:34:18,513
At Rikers, your last
meeting with Preuss.
714
00:34:18,623 --> 00:34:20,183
Wait a minute. Just
wait a minute, Jack.
715
00:34:20,225 --> 00:34:23,320
The man gave me an address.
That does not necessarily...
716
00:34:26,565 --> 00:34:27,931
My God, my God.
717
00:34:31,236 --> 00:34:35,196
Jack, you know that I
would never knowingly...
718
00:34:35,273 --> 00:34:38,107
You did violate the special
administrative measures.
719
00:34:38,176 --> 00:34:39,474
Because it was wrong.
720
00:34:40,812 --> 00:34:41,871
God!
721
00:34:49,454 --> 00:34:50,734
I'll let you surrender yourself.
722
00:34:53,024 --> 00:34:54,686
You're charging me?
723
00:34:55,293 --> 00:34:56,625
Tomorrow morning.
724
00:35:00,732 --> 00:35:01,732
Jack.
725
00:35:04,569 --> 00:35:07,266
Jack, it's me. Please.
726
00:35:08,773 --> 00:35:09,832
Please...
727
00:35:13,945 --> 00:35:15,413
Take care of yourself, Danielle.
728
00:35:28,627 --> 00:35:33,292
CLERK: "Docket number 86904,
People v. Danielle Rose Melnick.
729
00:35:33,531 --> 00:35:36,365
"Conspiracy in the First Degree,
Manslaughter in the Second Degree."
730
00:35:36,868 --> 00:35:38,928
Ms. Melnick pleads not guilty.
731
00:35:39,371 --> 00:35:42,000
In the strongest
possible terms, not guilty.
732
00:35:42,207 --> 00:35:44,472
I'm taking you off the
Preuss case, Ms. Melnick.
733
00:35:44,876 --> 00:35:46,520
Your Honor, there's no
motion before this court.
734
00:35:46,544 --> 00:35:50,481
I'm just following what the Eastern
District did to Shargel in that Gotti mess.
735
00:35:51,249 --> 00:35:54,742
You can't represent your client and
conspire with him at the same time.
736
00:35:55,053 --> 00:35:56,783
I assume the People
aren't looking for bail.
737
00:35:56,855 --> 00:35:58,915
These are serious
allegations, Your Honor.
738
00:35:59,357 --> 00:36:01,485
The defendant was
recorded conspiring to violate
739
00:36:01,559 --> 00:36:04,552
the special administrative
measures imposed by this very court.
740
00:36:04,629 --> 00:36:07,064
Prior leaks have already
led to at least one murder.
741
00:36:07,132 --> 00:36:08,361
Ms. Southerlyn.
742
00:36:10,769 --> 00:36:12,965
The People are fine
with ROR, Your Honor.
743
00:36:13,104 --> 00:36:14,163
So ordered.
744
00:36:14,239 --> 00:36:15,537
(BANGS GAVEL)
745
00:36:24,149 --> 00:36:25,742
I had to ask for bail.
746
00:36:26,651 --> 00:36:30,053
Just out of curiosity, what
number did you have in mind?
747
00:36:30,588 --> 00:36:32,819
I was going to leave
that up to Judge Taylor.
748
00:36:34,459 --> 00:36:37,896
Look, Jack, neither of us can
know what was in her head.
749
00:36:50,408 --> 00:36:52,172
Jack.
750
00:36:52,243 --> 00:36:53,871
You're not supposed
to be talking to me.
751
00:36:55,146 --> 00:36:56,706
Do you want to have
your lawyer join us?
752
00:36:56,781 --> 00:36:58,261
That's not what I'm
not talking about.
753
00:36:58,316 --> 00:37:02,583
I'm talking about the guilt that should
accompany the royal screwing of a friend.
754
00:37:03,088 --> 00:37:04,613
The eavesdrop wasn't my idea.
755
00:37:06,157 --> 00:37:08,269
Do you honestly think that I
purposely relayed information?
756
00:37:08,293 --> 00:37:09,293
Of course not.
757
00:37:11,162 --> 00:37:13,324
But you must have known
you were playing with fire.
758
00:37:13,398 --> 00:37:14,957
You're saying I was reckless?
759
00:37:15,633 --> 00:37:16,633
Or stupid.
760
00:37:17,202 --> 00:37:18,329
That's great. This is great.
761
00:37:19,237 --> 00:37:21,103
Maybe I'll use you as
my character witness.
762
00:37:22,006 --> 00:37:24,942
If Preuss played you, Danielle,
you can do something about it.
763
00:37:25,176 --> 00:37:27,771
Just tell me everything
that went on at Rikers.
764
00:37:27,846 --> 00:37:30,247
Why bother? You
have it all on tape.
765
00:37:32,083 --> 00:37:33,449
You know what I'm talking about.
766
00:37:33,518 --> 00:37:34,611
Yeah, I do.
767
00:37:34,686 --> 00:37:37,019
And I'm not going to breach
attorney-client privilege.
768
00:37:38,223 --> 00:37:41,057
Your client is responsible
for two deaths that we know of.
769
00:37:41,392 --> 00:37:43,293
Not until 12 citizens say he is.
770
00:37:44,095 --> 00:37:45,586
Come on, Jack,
771
00:37:45,663 --> 00:37:47,723
we'd only be pretending
to look for justice
772
00:37:47,799 --> 00:37:49,825
if a client cannot
have absolute faith
773
00:37:49,901 --> 00:37:52,496
in the sanctity of his
communications with his attorney.
774
00:37:52,737 --> 00:37:55,138
He used you to kill somebody.
775
00:37:58,910 --> 00:38:00,276
I know that.
776
00:38:05,683 --> 00:38:07,242
And I hate him, but...
777
00:38:08,620 --> 00:38:09,747
It's the principle.
778
00:38:09,821 --> 00:38:10,914
You're damn right.
779
00:38:11,055 --> 00:38:13,422
And if you don't see
that, I never knew you.
780
00:38:18,530 --> 00:38:19,862
It's ironic.
781
00:38:20,532 --> 00:38:22,296
I'm going to risk
everything I have
782
00:38:23,368 --> 00:38:26,634
to defend the rights of a man
who may have killed Vance Grodie.
783
00:38:27,272 --> 00:38:28,740
(LAUGHS)
784
00:38:30,775 --> 00:38:32,403
And you know something?
785
00:38:34,179 --> 00:38:36,842
That is exactly what
Vance would have done.
786
00:38:45,323 --> 00:38:47,883
Everything still out there
that's supposed to be?
787
00:38:50,628 --> 00:38:53,427
I take it Ms. Melnick
declined our invitation.
788
00:38:54,065 --> 00:38:57,365
I had a hard time pushing
her. I can see her side of it.
789
00:38:57,435 --> 00:39:00,303
Ah, she waived the Bill of
Rights in your face, did she?
790
00:39:01,506 --> 00:39:04,533
Well, we can't let lawbreakers
use the right to counsel
791
00:39:04,609 --> 00:39:06,805
to facilitate their crimes.
792
00:39:07,078 --> 00:39:09,377
The Constitution's
not a suicide pact.
793
00:39:09,447 --> 00:39:10,642
Justice Jackson.
794
00:39:10,715 --> 00:39:13,048
Oh, I know, you're
more of a Brennan man.
795
00:39:13,484 --> 00:39:15,817
Slippery slope
and all that guff.
796
00:39:16,521 --> 00:39:18,387
Times change, Jack,
the pendulum swings.
797
00:39:18,590 --> 00:39:21,287
And law-abiding people
get clocked along the way.
798
00:39:25,597 --> 00:39:28,567
You know, back in New Haven,
799
00:39:28,633 --> 00:39:31,626
there was this fella,
name of Thornhurst.
800
00:39:32,303 --> 00:39:34,169
Is he any relation to... Yup.
801
00:39:34,239 --> 00:39:38,074
That's him, sitting as Chief
Justice in the Fifth Circuit.
802
00:39:38,142 --> 00:39:40,873
His old man was the Secretary
of State under somebody.
803
00:39:40,945 --> 00:39:42,811
You ran in the
right circles, Arthur.
804
00:39:42,881 --> 00:39:46,943
Well, it turns out he had a hell of
a time with his Bankruptcy class.
805
00:39:47,418 --> 00:39:49,649
Son of a gun worked his
butt off and still got an F.
806
00:39:50,288 --> 00:39:51,722
It doesn't seem
to have hurt him.
807
00:39:51,789 --> 00:39:55,351
Thing is, that F was about
to keep him from graduating.
808
00:39:55,760 --> 00:39:59,993
But one of his good buddies goes to
the professor with a whale of a story.
809
00:40:01,132 --> 00:40:03,692
Thorny's old man has
heart trouble, he said.
810
00:40:04,135 --> 00:40:08,266
And if his first born doesn't
graduate, then who knows?
811
00:40:09,307 --> 00:40:11,708
In other words, he lied.
812
00:40:12,210 --> 00:40:14,509
Those would be
the precise words.
813
00:40:15,146 --> 00:40:18,981
Long story short, the
professor found his own heart,
814
00:40:19,050 --> 00:40:20,746
he upped the grade to a D,
815
00:40:20,885 --> 00:40:23,150
Thorny graduated,
apple of his old man's eye.
816
00:40:23,221 --> 00:40:25,554
I love a happy ending,
Arthur, but didn't you just
817
00:40:25,623 --> 00:40:28,559
change the subject in the
middle of our conversation?
818
00:40:28,760 --> 00:40:30,524
You tell me.
819
00:40:32,697 --> 00:40:34,188
Have a good night.
820
00:40:43,675 --> 00:40:46,235
What's he doing here?
Where's my other lawyer?
821
00:40:46,311 --> 00:40:48,439
She's no longer
representing you, Mr. Preuss.
822
00:40:48,513 --> 00:40:51,540
She can't do that without my
okaying it. And I know that much.
823
00:40:51,616 --> 00:40:53,710
In most situations,
that's right.
824
00:40:53,785 --> 00:40:56,778
And this has evolved into
anything but the typical situation.
825
00:40:57,422 --> 00:40:59,084
As your initial
counsel of record,
826
00:40:59,157 --> 00:41:01,353
Mr. Clemens has agreed
to sit in on this meeting.
827
00:41:02,961 --> 00:41:05,863
Don't worry, I'll get a real
lawyer before we go to trial.
828
00:41:06,331 --> 00:41:08,357
I appreciate that.
829
00:41:08,433 --> 00:41:11,597
That'll be fine if you
still want to go to trial.
830
00:41:11,669 --> 00:41:13,228
Why wouldn't I?
831
00:41:14,405 --> 00:41:16,874
Because Ms. Melnick
told us everything.
832
00:41:17,408 --> 00:41:21,038
She confessed to communicating
with your associate Mr. Burke.
833
00:41:22,080 --> 00:41:25,209
And we are in the process
of negotiating a deal with her
834
00:41:25,283 --> 00:41:27,252
for conspiracy to commit murder.
835
00:41:28,920 --> 00:41:30,650
You believe her?
836
00:41:30,722 --> 00:41:32,884
More than I believe
you, Mr. Preuss.
837
00:41:35,193 --> 00:41:36,661
Lawyers!
838
00:41:37,428 --> 00:41:40,762
You are turning this great
country into a cesspool. For what?
839
00:41:40,832 --> 00:41:42,061
He set me up.
840
00:41:42,133 --> 00:41:44,602
He sent that Jew lawyer in
here all along planning to trap me.
841
00:41:44,669 --> 00:41:45,669
That's got to be illegal.
842
00:41:45,770 --> 00:41:48,048
Sure, I can argue that at
trial. Although you'll have to...
843
00:41:48,072 --> 00:41:49,072
Shut up.
844
00:42:03,087 --> 00:42:04,111
What are you offering?
845
00:42:04,188 --> 00:42:06,555
One count of Conspiracy
in the First Degree.
846
00:42:06,624 --> 00:42:08,991
One count of Manslaughter
in the First Degree.
847
00:42:10,094 --> 00:42:11,687
Is Ms. Melnick
getting the same deal?
848
00:42:11,763 --> 00:42:13,129
On the conspiracy, yes.
849
00:42:13,197 --> 00:42:14,825
Sentences to run concurrently?
850
00:42:14,899 --> 00:42:15,958
Why not?
851
00:42:16,034 --> 00:42:17,161
It's a good deal.
852
00:42:19,871 --> 00:42:24,366
If he allocutes that Danielle Melnick
acted without any criminal intent.
853
00:42:25,443 --> 00:42:28,379
Oh, I see what's going on
here. Do you think I'm stupid?
854
00:42:29,747 --> 00:42:32,239
The jury's still out
on that, Mr. Preuss.
855
00:42:34,318 --> 00:42:37,288
Choice A, you go to
jail for the rest of your life
856
00:42:37,922 --> 00:42:40,323
and Ms. Melnick
goes for 15 years.
857
00:42:41,559 --> 00:42:45,792
Choice B, you're eligible
for parole in 12 and a half.
858
00:42:46,397 --> 00:42:48,389
And she walks?
859
00:42:50,701 --> 00:42:51,999
Your decision.
860
00:43:01,512 --> 00:43:03,777
Of course he took the deal.
861
00:43:03,848 --> 00:43:06,818
People like that, their
hate only goes so far.
862
00:43:07,251 --> 00:43:09,550
Their self-interest goes
a hell of a lot further.
863
00:43:10,354 --> 00:43:14,223
One might even say there was a
little cause and effect going on in there.
864
00:43:15,526 --> 00:43:18,826
Judge Lusky has agreed to drop
all of the charges against Danielle.
865
00:43:18,896 --> 00:43:20,592
The Bar Association
Review Board will...
866
00:43:20,665 --> 00:43:22,395
Name an award for her.
867
00:43:22,467 --> 00:43:26,029
How many other lawyers would risk what
she did for the sake of client privilege?
868
00:43:27,872 --> 00:43:30,171
Remind me to never
play poker with you, Jack.
869
00:43:30,808 --> 00:43:32,276
You should have
seen him in action.
870
00:43:32,343 --> 00:43:33,777
Told a couple of
whoppers, did you?
871
00:43:33,845 --> 00:43:35,939
What's a whopper when
it helps a good buddy?
872
00:43:37,148 --> 00:43:38,673
That's what I always say.
873
00:43:39,450 --> 00:43:41,385
(PHONE RINGING)
874
00:43:46,591 --> 00:43:48,492
Mr. Branch's office.
875
00:43:52,096 --> 00:43:53,826
Where?
876
00:43:55,466 --> 00:43:56,559
What happened?
877
00:43:56,634 --> 00:43:58,227
Melnick was waiting
for the elevator.
878
00:43:58,302 --> 00:44:00,294
We're still trying
to piece it together.
879
00:44:01,873 --> 00:44:04,934
Building security caught her trying
to leave through the parking garage.
880
00:44:05,576 --> 00:44:07,841
She was a traitor to America.
881
00:44:08,412 --> 00:44:09,573
Traitor!
882
00:44:20,091 --> 00:44:23,926
Better be careful, Jack. Looks
like it's open season on lawyers.
