[Man Narrating] In the
criminal justice system...

all defendants are
innocent until proven guilty,

either by confession,
plea bargain or trial by jury.

This is one of those trials.

[Woman] I was
coming home from work,

and I turned the corner
onto Lenox A venue...

and I see Ana.

I know it's not her. I
mean, I know she's dead,

but there she is.

[Sighs] And I freak.

They're all dead...

Max, Ariadne, Jose, Ana.

And I'm standing
right there in the street,

and I can't move.

It's like eight years ago,
and I'm right back there...

in that restaurant
feeling like I'm gonna die.

When was this? Two days ago...

right after I heard
he was getting out.

I thought life without parole
meant he was gonna die in prison.

What happened?

[Gaffney] The fingerprint
expert lied on the stand.

The print that put Kenny Thompson
at the crime scene wasn't his.

Marisol, I know that your injuries
made you unavailable for the first trial.

But this time around, your
testimony will be crucial.

I wish I could help you, but...

I don't remember anything
that happened that night.

Nothing.

Kenny. It's been awhile.

This man's my lawyer.

Been working two years on my
appeal pro bono. That means for free.

Do me a favor, Roy. Uncuff
me so I can shake his hand.

You're a good man, Roy.

A good man in a bad place.

Thanks to you,
I'm gonna be free.

I owe you my life.

[Kibre] I heard Thompson's
getting a new trial. That's too bad.

That fingerprint
was the only piece of

evidence linking Thompson
to the crime scene.

Well, cut yourself a break.
It's not your fault, Nick.

Everyone's had a witness lie.

The F.B.I. guy
said it was a match.

Apparently, this guy Tanner's been
giving bogus testimony on cases for years.

Justice has launched an investigation
into every case he's ever testified on...

and every D.A.
he's ever testified for.

And right now, I'm
in the bull's-eye.

I just came from
Branch's office.

I've been sidelined.

Oh.

You're gonna replace me.

The only reason I
didn't argue about it.

Trace, Thompson
can't stay on the streets.

[Kibre] I know. He's a bad guy.

[Nick] No. We see
bad guys all the time.

Kenny Thompson is a bad guy.

I say we plead him out.

Man one. Time served plus 10.

Nick Forster says
we can't win it.

Well, that's because he just
had a conviction overturned.

He's spooked. That
makes two of us.

If we plead out, it looks like we're
admitting Forster did something wrong.

Look, just have a look at
Thompson's confession.

We don't want no
trouble, man. That's why

we had everybody taped
up on the floor, man.

Everybody cooperate, nobody
get hurt. [Man] Oh, really?

So how'd your boy Colfax
end up dead on the floor?

Then the side door
opened, and this crazy bitch

come runnin' out of nowhere
and she capped Sean.

Uh-huh. So you shot her? I
thought she was trying to kill me!

It was self-defense! So why'd
you shoot the rest of 'em?

I want a lawyer, man.
What's the matter, Kenny?

He wants a lawyer. Seeing your
buddy die make you piss yourself,

so you shoot four
helpless people?

I don't feel so good.
I want a lawyer.

Sure you don't want
your mommy? Come on.

You wanna know what really
happened? [Kibre] Right there.

That's what got the whole
confession thrown out.

The judge felt Thompson
invoked his right to

counsel, and the cops
kept questioning him.

The judge is an idiot.
Thompson reinitiated on his own.

Yeah.

Thompson talked about those
murders like some guys talk about sex.

Like he got off on
killing those four kids.

I don't want this guy back
on my island in 10 years.

No plea? You must have
been very convincing.

The tape sold him.

So do we find new grounds to
reargue the confession's admissibility?

It's worth a try. This case could
sure use a nice, juicy confession.

Half the witnesses are either
dead, missing or in rehab.

Sounds like a list
of my ex-boyfriends.

Did we pass it? No, this is it.

It must be a beauty
salon now. Manicure?

Oh, thanks. Some other time.

Wow. It's hard to imagine
this is the site of a massacre.

It was a spring night.
People were outside.

That must be where
Charlie Lansing lived.

That's the stoop he was sitting on
when Thompson and Colfax walked by.

Charlie!

You must have the
wrong guy. Name’s John.

You're a hard man to find.

You change your name,
move out of the city.

- Nothing wrong with wantin' to start over.
- You read the papers lately?

Yeah. Kenny Thompson.

I'm not gettin' involved.
I got death threats

the first time around
from Thompson's boys.

Thompson doesn't
have boys anymore.

Papers are sayin' he might be
innocent. There's new evidence?

Nothin' new. Some
old evidence gone bad.

I didn't actually see
him commit a crime.

You saw Thompson and
Colfax outside the restaurant...

five minutes before
the robbery began.

- That's good enough.
- Wish I'd never seen anything.

Talk about being in the
wrong place at the wrong time.

Those four dead kids, they
were in the wrong place.

And their families, they're
grateful you saw what you did.

We need you, Charlie.

Kenny. Come on in.

Hey. This is my wife, Leigh.

She's one of the partners
here. How you doin', Leigh?

I am doing well. We get a lot of pro
bono requests, and accept very few cases.

Your passion for
justice is impressive.

Passion's easy. What's hard
is getting anyone to listen...

when you're just another black kid with
a return address that says "Sing Sing."

But Todd here stepped up.

He certainly did.

Listen, uh, Leigh's on the
board of the Exonerated Project,

and they're having
a benefit next week.

It's a heavy-hitting crowd.
Might be a good place

to start getting your
side of the story out.

Just tell me where
and when. Great.

I'll let you two get to work.

So, I've got their witness
list. Married the boss, huh?

[Chuckles] Yeah.

No surprises here. Looks
like the prosecution case...

rests with your association
with Colfax and the

fact that you had worked
at the Burger Kastle.

So did every other
16-year-old on my block.

They're the only place that
would hire kids from the projects.

We need to make a list of
every kid that worked there...

and ask if they were questioned.

Point up the fact that
this is a rush to judgment.

I'd be happy to
talk to her, Tracey.

But I'm a forensic
psychiatrist, not a therapist,

and Marisol is a
witness, not a suspect.

Without the fingerprint,
I have nothing

that puts Kenny
Thompson at that restaurant.

Now, the police report
says that when they found

Marisol in the basement,
she was still conscious.

But she doesn't
remember anything.

Memory loss is common
in trauma victims.

- It's a survival mechanism.
- So how do we access those memories?

We probably don't.

Humor me, Richard. Just
for a minute, be an optimist.

Sometimes, you can
stumble on a trigger—

A visual cue, a
sound, even a smell,

and the memories
come pouring out.

We've got the place to
ourselves. They don't open till 9:00.

[Marisol] Like I told you, the
two guys came in wearing masks.

The bigger one told
us to get downstairs.

And after that, I-I
don't remember.

We know.

We're not trying to pressure you. But
being here at the scene of the crime...

might unlock memories,
fill in the missing pieces.

- I'm not sure.
- Any time you wanna stop, we'll stop.

You're the one in charge.

Okay, Marisol.

So where were you when
Thompson and Colfax came in?

Sitting in the counter.

I was right about here.

Okay. So they came in...

and they told everybody
to get downstairs.

And you...

So let's go downstairs.

The meat locker's still here.

Well, they found you
around the corner here.

[Richard] How are
you doing? I'm okay.

You were found
in this corner here,

so you would have had a
full view of the office door...

when Ana came
out and shot Colfax.

I just don't remember.

Maybe if you came over here
and knelt down on the floor?

Anything?

[Sighs] I'm trying. I really am.

I know you are, Marisol.

Even a fragment, a
feeling. [Door Opens]

Oh. You scare me. I forgot
you were coming this morning.

Sorry to bother you.

I gotta go. I gotta get
out of here. Marisol.

Tracey, we're done here.

[Woman] So, what do you think?

You the artist? No.

Good, 'cause I don't like it.

And if I said yes,
I was the artist?

I like it. Kind of reminds me of
early Rauschenberg. You paint?

No. I just read about it.

The library had a lot of
books, and I had a lot of time.

Eight years of wrongful incarceration
is one hell of an art appreciation course.

Maya Sullivan. Being bitter
wouldn't do me any good.

I admire your attitude,
Mr. Thompson.

Kenny, having a good time?
Yeah, but I'm gonna take off.

My boys on the
N.Y.P.D. look kind of tired.

- You have cops following you?
- 24-7.

Is that even legal? I'm black.

"Innocent until proven
guilty" doesn't apply.

Hey, I'm sorry. I didn't
mean to get all political,

especially with all the pretty
pictures and pretty people.

Catch y'all later.

There's gotta be something
you can do. File a motion...

It's a public street. They're
harassing your client.

Surveillance is hardly
harassment. Leigh?

Thanks for letting
me know who's who.

You're not offering a plea? No.

I told Branch I thought that was the
way to go. Well, I think this is winnable.

Without the fingerprint evidence,
this is an entirely circumstantial case.

I wish people would stop
saying that like it's bad.

Most cases are circumstantial, and
these circumstances are compelling.

Both Colfax and Thompson spent
time in juvie for armed robbery.

Marisol heard his voice. We
can bring her in for a lineup.

Tracey, I lived
this case for a year.

I drank the same
Kool-Aid you're sipping

right now, and I'm
telling you, you can't win.

Wow, Nick. If this is
your idea of a pep talk...

You got it all figured out.

Read this. What is that?

A letter I got from one
of the jurors after the trial.

He says without the fingerprint,
they would have acquitted.

Don't try this case again.

Plead it out, or you'll lose.

This letter states that
the jury in the first trial...

relied entirely on the fingerprint
evidence to convict Thompson.

So it's evidence
we don't have. Right.

So what investigation was
done on the money trail?

Well, we know the robbery netted
Thompson about three grand.

In small bills, none of
which were ever found.

The original case detectives searched
Thompson's place, the grandmother's.

There was no sign of any
cash or night deposit bags.

Well, we also checked
large purchases, and nothing.

You check any girlfriends? If
he had 'em, no one found 'em.

Is he seeing anybody now?

They get out, they usually
dip into the same old pool.

Surveillance says he likes to
spend time at Sylvia's up on Lenox.

Says he likes the waitress
up there. Kim Evans.

Find out what she sees in him.

Why you gotta harass me at work? You
see I'm in the middle of the lunch rush.

Kenny Thompson grew
up in the same building with

you, and he was tight
with your brother Manny.

Last thing I heard,
he was locked up.

He wasn't with you the other day? A
couple of cops saw him talking to you.

You and Kenny were hanging out the other
night. Narcs tell us you bought some weed.

Did he ask you to do that?

[Chuckles] Nice. Having
your girl buy the drugs.

Okay, arrest me for
scoring a joint. Go ahead.

We don't want to, 'cause we
pulled your jacket the other day,

and that would be a
violation of your parole.

It looks like you got a
good thing going on here.

Busy place, good tips.
I don't know anything.

$3,000 was taken
from the Burger Kastle.

That was, like, eight years
ago. I had nothin' to do with that.

Maybe you saw Kenny flush that
weekend? I never saw Kenny with any money.

Maybe he bought you a gift?

We talkin' about the
same Kenny Thompson?

Face forward.

Really listen to their voices.

Please step forward one at a
time and say, "Get downstairs."

Get downstairs.

Get downstairs!

- Get downstairs.
- Louder, please.

Get downstairs!

[Man #4] Get downstairs!
[Man #5] Get downstairs.

It could of been any of them.

One more time, please.

Get downstairs.

[Man #2] Get downstairs!

Get downstairs!

[Man #4] Get downstairs!

[Man #5] Get downstairs!

Uh, we're good.

She couldn't I.D. a ham
sandwich. [Chuckles]

So our only problem
now is Lansing?

I wouldn't worry about him. I
can muddy up his story on cross.

Wait. Talk to him now,
see if his story has changed.

He's a prosecution
witness, Kenny. He won't

talk to me. They can
fight us even seeing him.

The rules of discovery entitle you
to talk to any witness on their list.

They can decline to
answer questions, but you

make that son of a
bitch do it to your face.

But you're the
lawyer. It's your call.

[Kibre] Mr. Lansing changed
his name and moved his family...

out of fear of retribution
from Mr. Thompson.

Your Honor can understand why
I'm reluctant to provide the defense...

with Mr. Lansing's
address and phone number.

It's called discovery,
Miss Kibre.

Defense wants a meeting, come up
with a neutral place for it to happen.

Your Honor, regarding the
readmissibility of the confession...

I've read your brief, Ms. Gaffney.
You've touched on some new grounds.

Your Honor— But I find
none of them compelling.

The confession stays out.
On to the defense's motion...

to preclude the police from coming
within 200 feet of the defendant.

Your Honor, the police have engaged in
a pattern of harassment and intimidation.

Mr. Thompson is a
dangerous felon who,

through some loophole
in the legal system,

has been released on
an unsuspecting public.

I take offense that you refer to perjured
testimony as a loophole, Miss Kibre.

What I meant, Your Honor—
I know what you meant.

Obviously, I can't stop the police
from conducting surveillance,

but I can keep them at
a reasonable distance.

Not only will I grant
your motion, Mr. Eckhart,

I will add 100 feet.

This is all for show. The
defense is trying to rattle you.

I really don't have to answer any
of their questions? Absolutely not.

This is a formality.

Okay?

Thank you.

Kenny. What the hell are you doing
here? What? I can't see my own lawyer?

Not here. How did you
know I was gonna be here?

What'd you get out of Lansing?
Nothing. The guy stonewalled.

We gotta get outta here.
They could arrest you for...

Yo, Charlie!

Come on. I know what I'm doin'.

Oh, geez.

Don't you ever grab
me like that again.

I promise you, I had no
idea he was gonna be here.

He could know where I live,
where my daughter goes to school.

The police are picking
up your wife and daughter,

and they're gonna take the three of
you to a hotel until he's in custody...

and for the
duration of the trial.

You're gonna be okay, Charlie.

I'll be right back.

Have we located Thompson?

We're covering all his known
hangouts, but nothing yet.

[Kibre] If we don't
pick him up here, we've

papered his neighborhood
with reward posters.

Ten grand for any information.

Tracey, it's almost 5:00.

He's checked in at Pretrial Services
every day since he was released.

If he was gonna show up,
he'd have been here by now.

Maybe he realized he
screwed up and took off.

And spend the rest of
his life on the run? No.

This guy thinks he's gonna
beat us at trial. He'll show.

Suspect spotted on foot crossing
137th Street. All units, go. Go! Go! Go!

Kenny Thompson!
You're under arrest.

I'm not resisting. You're under
arrest for intimidating a witness.

You have the right to remain
silent. If you give up that

right, anything you say can
and will be used against you.

Kibre. Put Lansing on.

Hello? Charlie, they
just arrested Thompson.

So how does that
help me or my family?

What if you lose the
case and he gets out?

I don't think I
can help you. No.

You're still gonna have to testify,
but— I'm not saying another word.

- Charlie?
- Do what you want to me.

Charlie, listen to me.

Damn it!

He's in custody. You
got what you wanted.

So did he.

He totally played me.
He's-He's orchestrating things.

He got me to arrange a meeting
with Lansing to intimidate him.

You did nothing unethical. You're
covered. But that's not the point, Leigh.

What is the point, Todd? Why would he
intimidate a witness unless he was guilty?

Oh, come on. Whatever he might
have done, it was a long time ago.

He's a different person now. Back
to earth, Leigh! He killed four people!

Keep your voice down!

Do you wanna be
a litigator or not?

The man's a sociopath.

So if one of our corporate
clients has a product

that causes cancer,
we don't defend them?

We only defend the good
guys? That's totally different.

No, it's not.

Your client just did you a favor
by scaring off their one eyewitness.

You can either whine
about that or win with it.

I was reading the
transcript of the original trial.

Your closing's good.

"You wake up, look outside,

"and the ground is blanketed
with untouched snow...

"except for a
set of footprints...

leading to the mailbox
and leading away."

"You find mail in the box.

"You can safely assume
the mailman was there.

"No one saw him, but the
circumstantial evidence...

is compelling beyond
a reasonable doubt."

It's a great analogy.

I'm afraid it didn't have the
desired effect on the jury.

I got the feeling they'd
wanna compare...

a plaster cast of the footprints
to the mailman's boots.

I think...

I'm in trouble, Nick.

I open tomorrow, and
all I've got is Lansing.

And I had to subpoena
him to compel him to appear.

Then you'd better
pray he stays strong,

'cause everything else is
the mailman's footprints.

When you were
sitting on your stoop...

and asked the man for a
cigarette, how far away was he?

A few feet. But it was dark, and
the guy was really dark-skinned.

I really didn't get a good look.

[Kibre] Mr. Lansing?

Charlie?

But you identified the man you talked
to as the defendant, Kenny Thompson?

I guess I did. But
now, I'm not so sure.

Mr. Lansing, is it
true that last week,

contrary to the
order of this court,

Mr. Thompson sought
you out and threatened you?

That's not...

Look, I was pushed into
making this I.D. eight years ago.

Who pushed you? You
came forward on your own.

You testified under
oath before a grand jury.

That's not how I remember it.

Permission to treat
the witness as hostile.

Go ahead. At this time,

the People wish to enter into
evidence Mr. Lansing's testimony...

from the original
grand jury transcript.

We're doing great.

[Judge] That goes back
a long way, Miss Kibre.

[Kibre] The witness made several
sworn statements. Very well.

I just got a text from Dr. Link.
Marisol remembers something.

Find out what.

I saw Ana open the office door.

And I must have
started screaming,

'cause I see the guy
look up at Ana and goes,

"Trey, she's got a gun."

Who said, "Trey,
she's got a gun"?

Colfax—the guy that Ana shot.

Thompson's arrest record
lists "Trey" as one of his aliases.

[Kibre] When exactly did you
remember someone saying...

"Trey, she's got a gun"?

A few days after I
revisited the crime scene.

Did you remember
anything else? Yeah.

Before he shot me,

he put the gun...

in the back of my head...

and he said, "Don't worry.

It'll be fast."

Marisol, after these memories
came back to you, what did you do?

I called Dr. Link.

He's been helping me.

Thank you.

Dr. Link, how did you
get involved in this case?

Tracey Kibre asked me
to evaluate Ms. Rodriguez.

Evaluate or influence?

When Ms. Kibre called, I was
careful to make my role very clear.

I don't believe in trying to force
or shape a patient's memory.

And yet, you participated in an
obvious attempt to trigger a memory,

a visit back to the crime scene.

[Dr. Link] Because Ms.
Rodriguez wanted to be there.

I discussed the
dangers as well as the

potentially therapeutic
outcomes. She chose to go.

Did Marisol Rodriguez ever
spend time in your waiting room?

Yes, before her sessions.

- I imagine, like most doctors,
you have magazines there?
- Yes.

So while she waited, Marisol Rodriguez
could have read those magazines.

Maybe even a back
issue of Manhattan Minute?

Objection. Calls
for speculation.

Do you know whether
she read the magazine?

I don't know whether
she did or she didn't.

I subscribe to that magazine, and
there are back issues in my waiting room.

I offer into evidence a copy of
Manhattan Minute from April 2003.

I call your attention to
the article on page 28...

which profiles the
Burger Kastle massacres...

and refers more than once
to Kenny Thompson as "Trey."

I believe her memory came from the
actual experience, not something she read.

I have no doubt, Dr. Link,
that you have the ability...

to distinguish between real
memories and mere suggestion.

But does Marisol?

I did see Kenny with some
money the day after the robbery.

Why didn't you tell
anyone this before?

Because we were
together then, and he

wasn't the kind of
guy I wanted to piss off.

So you're not together anymore?

He's all uptown now. Told
me I need to lose some weight.

So you're angry at Kenny,

see a chance to get back at him
and make some money in the process.

Look, do you want
my story or not?

How much money did
you actually see on Kenny?

Like a couple thousand.
And it was all weird too,

like rolls of coins
and lots of ones.

What was the money in? Hmm?

Was it loose or in a bag...

Yeah, it was in a bag, like
one of those night deposit bags.

- What color?
- Color?

Yeah. What color was the bag?

Um—I'm not sure.

Was it green?

She's lying.

She knew the money
was in a night deposit bag.

That wasn't released to
the press. She's a waitress.

Of course she knows at
closing, money goes into bags.

Okay, I get it, Kelly.
You didn't buy her story.

Neither did you.
Well, you're wrong.

I did. And even if I didn't, it's not
my problem. It's up to a jury to decide.

Well, you made it your problem
when you told her what to say.

I refreshed her memory.

Call it what you want. I call
it prosecutorial misconduct.

Hey, watch it.

- You put her on the stand,
you'll be suborning perjury.
- You're crossing a line.

No, you are, and it's the same line
that Nick Forster crossed eight years ago.

A decision which will
probably get him disbarred.

Look, tomorrow morning, when I put
Kim on the stand, you're either with me...

or you take a sick day.

[Eckhart] What is
she going to say?

For 10 grand, she'll say anything.
She'll say I confessed to her.

Did you?

Were you wearing
gloves that night, Kenny?

Is that how you were so sure
the fingerprint expert was lying?

All you gotta know about Kim Evans—
She's got a rap sheet longer than mine.

Even you should be
able to discredit her.

[Bailiff] Do you solemnly swear that
the testimony you give will be the truth,

the whole truth, and nothing but the truth,
so help you God? Not so sick after all.

Actually, I am.

Please state your name
for the record. Kim Evans.

What is your relationship
to Mr. Thompson?

I was his girlfriend.

Did you see Mr. Thompson
on April 9, 1997,

the day after the
Burger Kastle killings?

Yeah, I saw him that day.

Did he show you...

Did he...

Your Honor, a moment, please.

All right.

Nod. Write something in your
pad like I'm giving you instructions.

Get your cell phone and make
believe that you're making...

a really important phone call as you leave
the courtroom, and meet me in the hallway.

I have no further
questions for this witness.

But— Mr. Eckhart?

Nothing for this
witness, Your Honor.

[Judge] Do the People
rest, Miss Kibre?

Actually, Your Honor,
we'd like to request a recess.

We'll adjourn until tomorrow.

I hate it when you gloat.

Combed through the old
case file, witnesses, evidence.

So what's new? What do we have that Nick
Forster didn't other than a weaker case?

- Marisol's testimony.
- Well, her story is all over the place.

- It doesn't even jibe
with Thompson's confession.
- How so?

Thompson claims that all of the employees
were blindfolded, bound and gagged...

when Ana came out of
the office with guns blazing.

That's how the
police found them.

Yeah, well, Marisol
claims that...

she saw Ana come out of the
office and then started screaming.

Now, if I'm blindfolded, I can't see.
And if I'm gagged, I'm not screaming.

So Thompson and Colfax were in the process
of gagging Marisol when Ana came out.

Okay.

Okay, so Thompson is in
the process of gagging Marisol.

Or Colfax was doing it, which would explain
why he yelled, "Trey, she's got a gun."

So Ana shoots Colfax before
he gets a chance to gag Marisol.

Then Thompson shoots Ana. But now
he's gotta subdue an hysterical Marisol.

So he picks up the tape. And how do you
rip tape off a roll while holding a gun?

Maybe he uses his teeth.

Let's hope so.
Where's Marisol's gag?

It's useless. It was in that box of
exhibits that had bad water damage.

What about the roll of
tape the gag came off of?

A different box. We
might still have it.

- It could have tooth
marks or— - D.N.A.

I'll call the crime lab.

Ms. Kibre, a delay at
this point in the trial...

Just until the test
results come back.

Your Honor, there's a lack
of fundamental fairness here.

At the last possible
minute, Ms. Kibre is

conducting a complicated
technical procedure.

A procedure which may exonerate
his client and put an end to this trial.

We expect mitochondrial
results back within 24 hours.

The People request a
continuance until that time.

I'll grant the
continuance, Ms. Kibre,

but I trust the People can firmly
establish the chain of custody?

The jury's gonna wanna know whose
hands this roll of tape passed through...

from the moment it was picked
up at the crime scene until today.

[Kibre] Yes, Your Honor.

Where do we stand on the
chain of custody? Not so good.

The C.S.U. detective
who bagged the tape at the

scene died in a car
accident four years ago.

Oh, come on.

Well, somebody else must have seen
him put that tape in the evidence bag.

Somebody did. Nick Forster.

Having me anywhere near
the case weakens it for you.

We've got a D.N.A.
match. I just need you.

I can't do it. I'm not asking.

- I'm calling you to the stand.
- Beer?

- Nick— - Don't you get it?

I cannot testify without
perjuring myself.

Oh, my God. You knew
the fingerprint was bad.

After the confession was
tossed, I was desperate.

How's a guy kill four people and not
leave a single sign of himself behind?

I'm having dinner one night
with this F.B.I. guy—Tanner.

He begs me to let him help me.

On cross, Eckhart is gonna ask
you point-blank about the fingerprint.

I'll lie.

You do and get caught,
Thompson goes free.

Do you realize what
you're asking me?

Yeah. Step up and
admit what you did.

You know I can't do that.

Forget about the job.

I could go to jail.

The man I know wouldn't be able to
live with those bodies on his conscience.

Ariadne Iberra, Ana Pacheco,

Max Loeb and Jose Ruiz.

You were the original prosecutor
in the murders of these individuals?

I was.

Do you recognize
this duct tape? I do.

It was the roll of tape found at
the crime scene on April 8, 1997.

Where was it found?

Right here, outside
the meat locker.

And what was done with it?

I saw Crime Scene Unit Detective Sonnenberg
bag it and enter it into evidence.

[Kibre] And then what? I
personally supervised gathering...

all the evidence at the scene...

and transported it from the restaurant to
the intake technician at the 39th Precinct.

So just to be clear, you
saw Detective Sonnenberg...

bag this roll of duct tape
and enter it into evidence?

Yes.

Isn't it true that the reason
you're not trying this case today...

is because you're currently
under investigation...

for falsifying fingerprint evidence
in the first trial of Mr. Thompson?

Yes.

Did you falsify the fingerprint?

I...

Yes.

You admit you've lied before. Why
should the jury believe you now?

Because I've just
admitted that lie under oath.

Because I'll
probably be disbarred,

and I have nothing left to lose.

I'm finished.

Guilty on all counts. Thank you.

Oh!

The firm has decided to
sever our relationship with you.

We'd be happy to
recommend a public defender.

- No.
- Excuse me?

Sullivan & Sterling will continue as
counsel on my case. Why would we do that?

Because I have at least
seven examples of ineffective

assistance of counsel
committed by our boy Todd here.

That's a lie. Maybe.

But do you really wanna put yourself
and the firm through a hearing?

I'll be in touch.

Branch fire him?
Nope. He resigned.

Smart. This way, he gets
to collect his full pension.

I don't think that
entered into it.

You give people too much credit.

You don't give people enough.

Big risk calling
him to the stand.

I had no choice.

But why not wait for Eckhart to crucify
him? He would have lied to Eckhart.

Then I'd have known he
was giving false testimony.

He could just as easily have
lied to you. I knew he wouldn't.

Come on. You've known
the guy for 15 years.

You're telling me
he never lied to you?

Yeah, he lied to me.

Just not about the law.

[Howling]
