In the criminal justice system

00:00:02,870 --> 00:00:06,750
the people are represented by two
separate yet equally important groups,
3
00:00:06,807 --> 00:00:08,616
the police
who investigate crime
4
00:00:08,675 --> 00:00:11,212
and the district attorneys
who prosecute the offenders.
5
00:00:11,411 --> 00:00:12,981

yours anyway?
8

All of them.

00:00:19,186 --> 00:00:21,325
The two of you live
on four floors?
10
00:00:21,388 --> 00:00:24,096
Well, Dad has a lot of clothes.
11
00:00:26,326 --> 00:00:29,034
Are you sure I look okay?
12
00:00:29,096 --> 00:00:30,598
You look fine.

Hello, guess who.
16
00:00:39,907 --> 00:00:41,147
Dad?
17
00:00:41,208 --> 00:00:43,688
You actually live here?
Hello.
18
00:00:44,111 --> 00:00:45,784
Dad, are you home?
19
00:00:49,149 --> 00:00:53,825
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God. Oh, my God.
20
00:00:54,388 --> 00:00:55,628
Oh, my God.

Wallace Holbrook. Shot in the head.
Who called it in?
22
00:01:00,494 --> 00:01:04,032
His kid and her boyfriend.
Surprise road trip from college.
23
00:01:04,565 --> 00:01:06,875
Can you imagine coming home
to something like this?
24
00:01:07,768 --> 00:01:09,076
Where's the girl now?
25
00:01:09,136 --> 00:01:11,207
In the kitchen.
She's pretty hysterical.
26
00:01:13,373 --> 00:01:14,374
So, what can you tell us?
27
00:01:14,441 --> 00:01:15,545
One very dead body
28
00:01:15,609 --> 00:01:17,384
and one very expensive weapon.
29
00:01:18,011 --> 00:01:20,423
Yeah, well, it doesn't look
like a robbery to me.
30
00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:24,087
Gun between his legs like that,
I'd say he swallowed the barrel.
31
00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:28,960
It's a Perazzi. Between 10 and 20 grand.
They use it to hunt grouse.
32
00:01:29,790 --> 00:01:31,633
I guess
grouse are out of season.
33
00:02:23,944 --> 00:02:25,480
There's no way.
34
00:02:26,179 --> 00:02:27,590
Miss Holbrook,
35
00:02:28,048 --> 00:02:30,324
our people went over the scene,
and they tell us that...
36
00:02:30,384 --> 00:02:32,557
Look, he's my dad, isn't he?
37
00:02:32,853 --> 00:02:36,164
I'm telling you, there's
no way he'd kill himself.
38
00:02:39,192 --> 00:02:41,695
Do you know where your mom is?
39
00:02:41,762 --> 00:02:43,207
She died when I was 12.
40
00:02:43,930 --> 00:02:49,073
You know, Krista, sometimes dads
hide things from their children.
41
00:02:49,136 --> 00:02:50,945
Maybe other fathers.
42
00:02:51,805 --> 00:02:54,547
He closed some kind of
big deal yesterday.
43
00:02:54,741 --> 00:02:57,688
Wait a minute. You saying you
talked to him yesterday before...
44
00:02:58,945 --> 00:03:00,356
In the morning.
45
00:03:02,582 --> 00:03:04,926
He called to talk
about his trip to Europe.

(SNIFFLING)
47
00:03:07,921 --> 00:03:10,265
He was supposed to leave
on Monday.
48
00:03:11,825 --> 00:03:13,702
That's why I came home.
49
00:03:16,763 --> 00:03:17,798
(CRYING)
50
00:03:17,864 --> 00:03:22,540
He was so excited. He hadn't
taken a vacation in two years.
51
00:03:25,472 --> 00:03:28,282
There is no way
my father killed himself.
52
00:03:34,214 --> 00:03:36,216
Well, Lennie,
you get Detective of the Week.
53
00:03:36,316 --> 00:03:37,886
You're saying
it wasn't a suicide?
54
00:03:37,951 --> 00:03:39,123
It was a murder.
55
00:03:39,186 --> 00:03:41,393
And judging from digestion
of the stomach contents,
56
00:03:41,455 --> 00:03:43,662
I'd say it happened
around 9:00 pm.
57
00:03:44,157 --> 00:03:46,364
I'd also say
the entire scene was staged.
58
00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:48,335
You can tell all that
by what he ate for lunch?
59
00:03:48,395 --> 00:03:51,103
No, from the blood lividity.
Come here.
60
00:03:52,732 --> 00:03:55,406
Mr. Holbrook's blood
settled in his back.
61
00:03:55,769 --> 00:03:58,978
Now, if he was killed in the sitting
position in which you found him,
62
00:03:59,039 --> 00:04:00,677
it would have gathered
south of the border.
63
00:04:01,074 --> 00:04:04,021
This guy was stretched out for at least
30 minutes before he was propped up.
64
00:04:04,077 --> 00:04:05,886
Okay, Rogers,
you're so brilliant,
65
00:04:05,946 --> 00:04:08,256
how do you explain the blood
on the wall behind his head?
66
00:04:08,315 --> 00:04:11,524
Well, that would be difficult if
the shot was the cause of death.
67
00:04:11,585 --> 00:04:13,030
What, it wasn't?
68
00:04:13,653 --> 00:04:17,430
Somebody grabbed your Mister Holbrook
from behind and snapped his neck.
69
00:04:17,491 --> 00:04:20,370
The shot through the mouth,
it was just for show.
70
00:04:28,401 --> 00:04:31,814
I heard this morning.
Suicide.
71
00:04:33,073 --> 00:04:37,021
God. I had dinner
with him last Tuesday.
72
00:04:39,346 --> 00:04:41,519
So, what is it? You want
his personal effects?
73
00:04:41,581 --> 00:04:44,255
No, I need to ask you
a few questions.
74
00:04:44,317 --> 00:04:46,194
Was everything
all right around here?
75
00:04:46,253 --> 00:04:48,062
For Holbrook, never better.
76
00:04:48,755 --> 00:04:52,464
Who would ever guess that Fixed
Income could do more than a billion?
77
00:04:52,526 --> 00:04:54,972
You're saying
he made $1 billion?
78
00:04:55,028 --> 00:04:57,941
No. His department
traded paper worth that much.
79
00:04:57,998 --> 00:05:00,171
That boils down to about
$400 million in profit.
80
00:05:00,300 --> 00:05:02,507
Holbrook's bonus
came close to 15.
81
00:05:04,471 --> 00:05:06,451
Does everybody around here
make that kind of money?
82
00:05:06,506 --> 00:05:10,215
No, Holbrook's department did
particularly well last year.
83
00:05:10,877 --> 00:05:13,824
Hell, one of his traders,
Bud Greer, 35 years old,
84
00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:15,382
took home $7 million.
85
00:05:15,448 --> 00:05:17,894
How did Holbrook
spend his money?
86
00:05:18,518 --> 00:05:20,998
We make it.
We don't talk about it.
87
00:05:21,555 --> 00:05:24,559
Twelve years.
Nine hours a day.
88
00:05:24,858 --> 00:05:28,237
I spent more time with Mr. Holbrook
than I did with my husband.
89
00:05:28,361 --> 00:05:29,738
Pretty tough boss, huh?
90
00:05:29,796 --> 00:05:31,605
Simon Legree, he wasn't.
91
00:05:32,465 --> 00:05:33,944
But he was demanding.
92
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:36,344
Demanding enough
to make enemies?
93
00:05:36,403 --> 00:05:38,178

You work on Wall Street,
you wanna be feared.
96
00:05:43,677 --> 00:05:46,283
The more they tremble,
richer you get.
97
00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:48,626
So, who around here
feared him the most?
98
00:05:48,682 --> 00:05:50,218
You don't think that...
99
00:05:50,951 --> 00:05:52,555
I don't know.
No way.
100
00:05:52,619 --> 00:05:55,964
I mean, these kids? Yeah,
maybe they hate the old man,
101
00:05:56,022 --> 00:05:59,834
but give up the zeros he puts
on their paychecks? Uh-uh.
102
00:05:59,893 --> 00:06:01,099
I don't think so.
103
00:06:01,161 --> 00:06:04,335
Oh, okay.
Well, yesterday,
104
00:06:04,931 --> 00:06:07,411
did he have any after-work
appointments in his book?
105
00:06:08,735 --> 00:06:12,273
Not that I knew about.
But he did leave early.
106
00:06:12,339 --> 00:06:15,218
Canceled a meeting
with two of his traders.

110
00:06:26,019 --> 00:06:27,726
So he canceled a meeting.
What else is new?
111
00:06:27,787 --> 00:06:30,165
I'm a junior trader, it's
not like I'm high-priority.
112
00:06:30,223 --> 00:06:32,760
What's that mean? You only
make half a million this year?
113
00:06:32,826 --> 00:06:35,102
I said junior, not stupid.
114
00:06:35,161 --> 00:06:37,835
They tack on a half mill just
to put up with Holbrook's crap.
115
00:06:37,898 --> 00:06:40,071
I take it you and he
didn't party together.
116
00:06:40,767 --> 00:06:43,748
I only breathed the same air as
Wallace Holbrook if I had to.
117
00:06:43,837 --> 00:06:46,511
I guess you're not exactly
brokenhearted then.
118
00:06:46,806 --> 00:06:49,412
Let me tell you something
about that macho creep.
119
00:06:49,476 --> 00:06:52,855
He had speakers installed so he
could publicly humiliate us.

"Do you need a calculator,
Mr. Boggs?"
121

"You buy at 10, you sell at 8,
you lose money, Mr. Boggs."
122
00:06:58,385 --> 00:07:00,524
The only guy who had
an easy ride was Bud Greer.
123
00:07:00,820 --> 00:07:03,801
I have to ask you this.
Where were you last night?
124
00:07:05,392 --> 00:07:09,101
On the phone with Tokyo till about 3:00 a.m.
You can check my phone records.
125
00:07:09,162 --> 00:07:10,163
Yeah.

00:07:10,230 --> 00:07:12,267
He cancels a meeting,
I don't ask questions.
127
00:07:12,332 --> 00:07:14,243
But it doesn't exactly
ruin your day, either?
128
00:07:14,301 --> 00:07:16,781
Hey, I knew what I was getting
into when I chose this business.
129
00:07:16,870 --> 00:07:19,874
Every day, it's pull down your
jockeys and take out the yardstick.
130

And if you haven't noticed, I
don't win that kind of contest.
131
00:07:23,176 --> 00:07:24,211
And Holbrook does?
132
00:07:24,277 --> 00:07:26,154
That's why
he's got the corner office.
133
00:07:26,212 --> 00:07:30,388

at his place for a late-night session?

some time, okay.

Why not? You do half billion in
trades, you get a seven mill bonus,
140
00:07:44,965 --> 00:07:46,706
and you get invited to dinner.

work on Wall Street. Standard and poor.

are a whole other story.

but if you can't take the heat...

Let's just say
there's a lot of pressure.

And Holbrook
couldn't take it, huh?
163
00:08:55,035 --> 00:08:56,207
Isn't that obvious?
164
00:08:59,506 --> 00:09:01,747
Well, did he say anything,
give a signal?
165
00:09:02,876 --> 00:09:05,413
The last couple of weeks,
his trades were off maybe 10%.
166
00:09:05,478 --> 00:09:08,482
His mind was definitely elsewhere.
You could say he was depressed.
167

Well, we're thinking
maybe it wasn't a suicide.

171
00:09:22,429 --> 00:09:25,774
Although we were told you were the only
one who socialized with the deceased.
172
00:09:25,832 --> 00:09:27,277
Socialized?
173
00:09:28,368 --> 00:09:31,474
Any time I spent
with Wallace was pure work.
174
00:09:31,805 --> 00:09:34,718
If those other cretins would
put in half the time I did...
175
00:09:36,476 --> 00:09:39,980
Look, I was in his house
once in two years.
176
00:09:40,513 --> 00:09:44,893
We spent three hours in his study
mapping out trading strategies.
177
00:09:44,951 --> 00:09:47,795
That was six months ago.
178
00:09:48,188 --> 00:09:49,667
BRISCOE: And last night?
179
00:09:49,723 --> 00:09:51,361
I was at the office
until 8:00.
180
00:09:52,692 --> 00:09:56,105
"Jenkins, Clay and Company,
Trader of the Year."
181
00:09:57,564 --> 00:09:59,134
Impressive.
Thank you.
182
00:09:59,666 --> 00:10:01,339
You ought to think
about spending some of it.
183
00:10:02,268 --> 00:10:03,713
Thank you for your advice.
184
00:10:04,370 --> 00:10:07,146
But for me it's not about
money, cars or apartments.
185
00:10:07,674 --> 00:10:09,278
What is it about?
186
00:10:11,044 --> 00:10:12,045
Power.
187
00:10:15,448 --> 00:10:18,986
By the way, with Holbrook out of the
picture, who gets the power now?
188
00:10:20,753 --> 00:10:24,428
Well, that would be me,
now, wouldn't it?
189
00:10:28,561 --> 00:10:31,974
There's more testosterone at
Jenkins, Clay than at Gold's Gym.
190
00:10:32,031 --> 00:10:34,272
Smart money says we're walking
down the right alley.
191
00:10:34,334 --> 00:10:37,440
Great. There's gotta be,
what, 300 people down there?
192
00:10:37,570 --> 00:10:40,574
More like 600, counting
secretaries and staff,
193
00:10:40,673 --> 00:10:42,880
but we're running all the names.
Maybe we'll get lucky.
194
00:10:42,976 --> 00:10:45,115
Oh, yeah. Maybe we might as
well run the telephone book.
195
00:10:45,178 --> 00:10:46,316
You got anything better?
196
00:10:46,379 --> 00:10:47,619
Yeah,
as a matter of fact, I do.
197
00:10:47,680 --> 00:10:50,957
I say we bring in Mr. Bud Greer.
Put him through the ringer.
198
00:10:51,017 --> 00:10:54,555
600 names, Mike, and we got just
as much on every one of them.
199
00:10:55,555 --> 00:10:58,502
It's weird. This guy's got more money
than God, but he lives worse than I do.
200
00:10:58,558 --> 00:11:02,233
Howard Hughes never clipped his toenails.
Got any homicides we can pin on him?
201
00:11:02,462 --> 00:11:03,941
I don't trust him.
202
00:11:03,997 --> 00:11:05,499
We got one winner, Lennie.
203
00:11:05,899 --> 00:11:09,369
A Benjamin Greer. Assault in '87.
Charges dropped.
204
00:11:09,435 --> 00:11:11,210
Thanks, Gia.
Mmm-hmm.
205
00:11:11,504 --> 00:11:12,949
Now I trust him less.
206
00:11:13,006 --> 00:11:14,041
Check him out.
207
00:11:14,974 --> 00:11:17,853
Yes. We hired Mr. Greer
for obvious reasons.
208
00:11:17,911 --> 00:11:19,857
You have an affirmative
action program down here?
209
00:11:19,913 --> 00:11:22,416
Not officially.
Off the record.
210
00:11:22,482 --> 00:11:25,361
We've got to be
very aware of appearances.
211
00:11:25,885 --> 00:11:28,491
Oh, well, do you need
any sons of Killarney?
212
00:11:28,555 --> 00:11:32,901
Sorry. Greer went to the right
schools, had an impressive resume.
213
00:11:32,992 --> 00:11:36,235
We put him in Fixed Income,
good place to start.
214
00:11:36,296 --> 00:11:38,367
Not much profit
but not much risk, either.
215
00:11:38,431 --> 00:11:39,967
We heard
he took to it pretty well.
216
00:11:40,033 --> 00:11:42,343
He increased sales
10 times in six months.
217
00:11:42,468 --> 00:11:45,005
And made his bankers
very happy people.
218
00:11:45,071 --> 00:11:49,451
He made all of us a lot of money.
Especially Holbrook.
219
00:11:51,144 --> 00:11:54,489
LOGAN: Boy, Greer wants to go to Harvard,
and they throw out the welcome mat.
220
00:11:54,547 --> 00:11:57,551
Greer wants a job, they toss
him seven million bucks.
221
00:11:57,617 --> 00:12:00,359
You ever think maybe he earned
it the old-fashioned way?
222
00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:03,729
Yeah, but he does all the work,
Holbrook makes twice the money.
223
00:12:03,790 --> 00:12:05,030
That's called capitalism.
224
00:12:05,091 --> 00:12:06,832
Man, it sure would piss me off.
225
00:12:06,893 --> 00:12:10,272
Hey, Greer doesn't spend the bucks he's got.
Why would he want more?
226
00:12:10,430 --> 00:12:15,277
It's not about money, remember?
It's about power. Oh, look at this.
227
00:12:15,935 --> 00:12:19,109
What is this? They got no respect
anymore, these meter maids.
228
00:12:19,539 --> 00:12:23,578
You know, it must be hell trying to
get a cab around here late at night.
229
00:12:23,943 --> 00:12:26,924
I wonder if Greer
used the company car service.
230
00:12:32,285 --> 00:12:34,094
You know how many jobs
I do for Jenkins?
231
00:12:34,153 --> 00:12:35,291
Look, help us out.
232
00:12:35,355 --> 00:12:38,165
He's a good-looking guy,
he's black, about 35.
233
00:12:38,224 --> 00:12:40,067
Oh. Mr. High and Mighty.
234
00:12:40,126 --> 00:12:41,764
You remember
where you dropped him off?
235
00:12:41,961 --> 00:12:44,965
East 60s. And I was glad
to get rid of him, too.
236
00:12:45,465 --> 00:12:47,069
Had the Knicks-Bulls
on the radio.
237
00:12:47,133 --> 00:12:49,113
Oh, I remember.
I lost a half a yard on that.
238
00:12:49,168 --> 00:12:50,476
They never cover the spread.
239
00:12:50,536 --> 00:12:51,810
I had 100 riding on it.
240
00:12:52,138 --> 00:12:54,118
But it made too much noise
for His Honor.
241
00:12:54,173 --> 00:12:56,551
He asked me to turn it down, and
I said, "Come on, my brother..."
242
00:12:56,709 --> 00:12:59,019
He said, "I ain't your brother.
Shut up and drive."

It seems like
your evenings are, too.
249

Excuse me?
250
00:13:17,330 --> 00:13:19,674
Looks like you lied to us
about the other night, Bud.
251
00:13:19,732 --> 00:13:22,212
I worked until 8:00.
Just like I told you.
252
00:13:22,302 --> 00:13:24,339
Yeah, well, you didn't go home.
253
00:13:27,807 --> 00:13:31,619
All right. Holbrook asked me to come by
to review the work of the other traders.
254
00:13:31,678 --> 00:13:32,782
It's firing season.
255
00:13:32,845 --> 00:13:33,880
And after that?
256
00:13:34,047 --> 00:13:35,993
No one was home.
I waited 15 minutes,
257
00:13:36,049 --> 00:13:37,824
then went to watch the game
at Diamond's.
258
00:13:37,884 --> 00:13:39,022
Why'd you lie to us, Bud?
259
00:13:39,085 --> 00:13:40,155
I didn't lie to you.
260
00:13:40,319 --> 00:13:44,631

in Holbrook's house in six months.

He was my mentor.

And now, if you don't mind, I'd
like to get back to the floor.

Well, first, why don't you tell
us about your prior arrest.

Ring any bells?

I didn't think so.
267
00:14:06,646 --> 00:14:10,116
It was the day the market crashed and burned.
I was in equities then.
268
00:14:10,249 --> 00:14:14,220
One of my clients thought he'd take
the correction out on my face.

with anybody in particular?

No, mostly, he's quiet.
Keeps to himself.

He used to bring a girl in from the
office, Joan something-or-other.

I doubt old Bud has, either.

00:17:28,781 --> 00:17:31,955
So I buy it from you, sell it to him
in 90 days and pocket two bucks.
336
00:17:32,018 --> 00:17:34,658
Exactly. Now everywhere else
on the planet,
337
00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:37,360
you record your profit
when you receive the cash.
338
00:17:37,423 --> 00:17:40,961
But Jenkins, Clay's accounting system...
It's a little new wave.
339
00:17:41,227 --> 00:17:45,869
They record a $2 profit today, when
you buy it, not when you sell it.
340
00:17:46,065 --> 00:17:48,671
Even though I don't have to cough
up the dough for three months?
341
00:17:49,235 --> 00:17:50,407
That's right.
342
00:17:50,469 --> 00:17:53,507
Only under Greer's scheme,
you don't really exist.
343
00:17:53,573 --> 00:17:55,280
Most of his buyers
are fictitious.
344
00:17:55,341 --> 00:17:58,879
So when the closing day rolls around, he
just pushes it back a couple of months.
345
00:17:58,945 --> 00:18:00,788
And the profit's
already on the books.
346
00:18:00,846 --> 00:18:05,522
And he walks away with a bonus based on
money that the firm will never collect.
347
00:18:05,751 --> 00:18:06,786
What's that?
348
00:18:06,853 --> 00:18:11,359
You took the Malcolm Forbes Home Study
in High Finance in your spare time?
349
00:18:11,557 --> 00:18:16,336
Not exactly. We took a crash
course in bogus trades.
350
00:18:17,964 --> 00:18:19,136
I'm sorry. You lost me.
351
00:18:19,198 --> 00:18:21,178
Well, let me draw you
a map, Bud.
352
00:18:22,668 --> 00:18:24,614
We've been through your files.
353
00:18:24,670 --> 00:18:27,241
You've been blowing smoke up your
company's ass for two years,
354
00:18:27,306 --> 00:18:28,546
taking bonuses you didn't earn.
355
00:18:28,608 --> 00:18:29,951
And Holbrook found out.
356
00:18:30,009 --> 00:18:31,454
So I stuck
a rifle in his mouth?
357
00:18:31,510 --> 00:18:34,491
It's a lot easier then giving
back a $7 million bonus.
358
00:18:34,547 --> 00:18:35,855
I earned that money.
359
00:18:35,915 --> 00:18:39,158
I worked harder and I'm smarter than
all the other kids on the block.
360
00:18:40,353 --> 00:18:44,233
Well, you got your $2,000 suits,
and you got your hotshot degrees.
361
00:18:44,290 --> 00:18:46,270
But from where I'm standing,
362
00:18:46,759 --> 00:18:49,968
you're no better than some punk
who holds up a 7-Eleven store
363
00:18:50,029 --> 00:18:52,441
then blows away the cashier
to cover his tracks.
364
00:18:55,301 --> 00:18:57,975
I graduated summa cum laude
from Harvard.
365
00:18:58,804 --> 00:19:01,182
Magna from Stanford Business.
366
00:19:02,008 --> 00:19:04,921
I have 17 traders
working for me.
367
00:19:05,244 --> 00:19:10,125
And I've booked almost $1 billion
in trades in the last two years.
368
00:19:10,483 --> 00:19:14,488
Not only am I better than
your punk at the 7-Eleven,
369
00:19:14,553 --> 00:19:20,834
I'm also a hell of a lot better
than you Detective Logan.
370
00:19:24,397 --> 00:19:25,671
(KNOCKING ON DOOR)
371
00:19:33,906 --> 00:19:35,783
I wouldn't mind
smacking him in the mouth.
372
00:19:36,075 --> 00:19:39,579
I'm thinking you'll get your chance.
Metaphorically, that is.
373
00:19:40,279 --> 00:19:43,419
It appears Mr. Greer washed up
in Holbrook's bathroom.
374
00:19:43,482 --> 00:19:45,553
We've got a partial print
on the sink.
375
00:19:53,859 --> 00:19:56,362
Should have stuck to
the convenience stores, Bud.
376
00:19:56,962 --> 00:19:58,839
Do your thing, Lennie.
377
00:19:58,965 --> 00:20:02,606
Benjamin Greer, you're under arrest
for the murder of Wallace Holbrook.
378
00:20:02,702 --> 00:20:06,616
You have the right to remain silent.
Anything you do say can and will be used
379
00:20:06,672 --> 00:20:08,242
against you in a court of law.
380
00:20:10,343 --> 00:20:13,688
$1 million bail, Jack? Don't you
think that's just a bit excessive?
381
00:20:13,746 --> 00:20:16,556
I saw the pictures from the crime
scene, he should count his blessings.
382
00:20:16,615 --> 00:20:18,856
Whatever. It's all gonna be back
in his money market soon enough.
383
00:20:18,918 --> 00:20:20,329
I'm not talking deal, David.
384
00:20:20,386 --> 00:20:21,660
Why in the world would I deal?
385
00:20:21,954 --> 00:20:23,058
I didn't do anything.
386
00:20:23,122 --> 00:20:25,159
We can put you at the scene
at the time of the murder.
387
00:20:25,224 --> 00:20:27,465
We have a motive. No, you
think you have a motive.
388
00:20:27,526 --> 00:20:30,973
The deceased was about to pull
the plug on $1 billion scam.
389
00:20:31,030 --> 00:20:32,168
You don't have to
be a genius...
390
00:20:32,231 --> 00:20:33,767
But you do to get it admitted.
391
00:20:33,833 --> 00:20:36,643
In seizing the financial records
from Mr. Greer's apartment,
392
00:20:36,702 --> 00:20:39,945
the police clearly violated my
client's Fourth Amendment rights.
393
00:20:40,005 --> 00:20:42,144
I'll see you in court, Jack.
394
00:20:46,679 --> 00:20:49,091
The Fourth Amendment requires
that a search warrant
395
00:20:49,148 --> 00:20:52,061
contain a particular description
of the items to be seized.
396
00:20:52,118 --> 00:20:54,598
The warrant in question
describes bloody clothes.
397
00:20:54,653 --> 00:20:56,496
There's no mention
of financial records.
398
00:20:56,555 --> 00:21:01,527
Courts have consistently upheld
seizure of non-particularized items
399
00:21:01,594 --> 00:21:04,040
when they were located in the plain
view of the police officers.
400
00:21:04,096 --> 00:21:07,566
Well, unless detectives Briscoe and
Logan are from the planet Krypton,
401
00:21:07,633 --> 00:21:10,512
the inside of a desk drawer
is hardly in plain view.
402
00:21:10,569 --> 00:21:15,177
The warrant in this case specified
"clothes as well as any other items"
403
00:21:15,241 --> 00:21:17,721
"that tend to establish
the elements of the crime."
404
00:21:17,777 --> 00:21:22,055
The Supreme Court in Anderson held
that such language was sufficient
405
00:21:22,114 --> 00:21:25,027
for seizure of property
not itemized on the warrant.
406
00:21:25,084 --> 00:21:28,531
The financial records seized by
the police relate only to motive.
407
00:21:29,121 --> 00:21:31,226
Since when is motive
an element of the crime?
408
00:21:32,024 --> 00:21:34,868
Mr. Solomon is correct,
the police crossed the line.
409
00:21:35,428 --> 00:21:37,772
The financial documents
are excluded.
410
00:21:38,397 --> 00:21:40,809
Yeah, well, I tell you, someone
ought to give our detectives
411
00:21:40,866 --> 00:21:44,177
a crash course in Fourth Amendment
search-and-seizure law.
412
00:21:44,236 --> 00:21:46,580
Maybe they took
some liberties, Adam.
413
00:21:46,639 --> 00:21:49,552
They were investigating
a brutal homicide.
414
00:21:49,608 --> 00:21:52,418
Nine out often defense attorneys
wouldn't have even noticed.
415
00:21:52,511 --> 00:21:54,388
Yeah, well, this one did.
416
00:21:54,747 --> 00:21:57,626
Without motive, you couldn't
convince a jury water's wet.
417
00:21:57,683 --> 00:21:59,026
But if we can establish
418
00:21:59,085 --> 00:22:01,622
that we would have inevitably
discovered the phantom trade...
419
00:22:01,687 --> 00:22:04,691
And what psychic you planning
to call as your first witness?
420
00:22:04,757 --> 00:22:08,705
You had no idea these trades
motivated the murder.
421
00:22:08,861 --> 00:22:11,671
We're charging someone
with murder, right?
422
00:22:12,031 --> 00:22:15,478
We would've been remiss if we weren't
prepared to challenge his credibility.
423
00:22:21,106 --> 00:22:24,053
I've sat outside his office
for two years,
424
00:22:24,109 --> 00:22:27,215
answering his phone
and typing his memos.
425
00:22:28,647 --> 00:22:30,957
Yeah, he's wound tight,
but murder, no way.
426
00:22:31,217 --> 00:22:33,561
He murdered Wallace Holbrook,
Miss Cooley.
427
00:22:33,886 --> 00:22:35,695
You've got to put your
personal feelings aside.
428
00:22:35,754 --> 00:22:38,826
My personal feelings
are none of your business.
429
00:22:45,731 --> 00:22:47,472
That's my business.
430
00:22:48,100 --> 00:22:51,673
Bud Greer did it. I don't think
he deserves your loyalty.
431
00:22:54,507 --> 00:22:56,145
What do you want?
432
00:22:57,276 --> 00:22:59,085
Is he close to anyone
at the firm?
433
00:22:59,145 --> 00:23:02,786
Top moneymaker, you'd think they'd
hoist him on their shoulders.
434
00:23:03,249 --> 00:23:05,160
Are you saying he's resented?
435
00:23:05,217 --> 00:23:08,994
A year ago, I made the mistake
of wearing jeans to work.
436
00:23:10,689 --> 00:23:12,635
Greer calls me in his office,
437
00:23:13,993 --> 00:23:15,870
says,
"This isn't Lennox Avenue."
438
00:23:15,928 --> 00:23:19,740
"If you want to be a homey,
find yourself another job."
439
00:23:20,633 --> 00:23:23,079
He resented you
because you're black?
440
00:23:28,207 --> 00:23:32,383
You answer his phone. He must
get some personal phone calls.
441
00:23:33,646 --> 00:23:36,058
Maybe once a month
his dad calls.
442
00:23:37,516 --> 00:23:41,157
Most times,
Bud leaves him on hold.
443
00:23:42,955 --> 00:23:44,127
Thank you.
444
00:23:46,258 --> 00:23:48,829
Ben worked for me
when he was in high school.
445
00:23:48,894 --> 00:23:52,103
A customer would come in for some nails,
Ben would sell him a power drill.
446
00:23:52,164 --> 00:23:54,269
He's come a long way
from selling nails.
447
00:23:54,333 --> 00:23:55,778
Selling is selling.
448
00:23:56,101 --> 00:23:57,876
And look, Miss Kincaid.
449
00:23:57,937 --> 00:24:01,248
The one thing I taught him is that
nobody's gonna hand you anything.
450
00:24:01,840 --> 00:24:05,811
We're just as good as anybody. If you
want something, you work for it.
451
00:24:06,011 --> 00:24:07,422
No welfare in this house.
452
00:24:07,479 --> 00:24:09,516
It appears he's reconsidered.
453
00:24:10,015 --> 00:24:12,757
Look, let me tell you
something about my son.
454
00:24:13,185 --> 00:24:17,133
When he applied to Harvard, he wouldn't
check off the box that said he was black,
455
00:24:17,189 --> 00:24:20,466
even though his guidance counselor told
him that it would make him a shoo-in.
456
00:24:20,526 --> 00:24:23,268
No, if he was going to get in, it was
going to be because of what he did,
457
00:24:23,329 --> 00:24:26,367
not who he was.
He made me proud.
458
00:24:27,199 --> 00:24:29,475
Now, a kid like that doesn't steal.
He doesn't cheat.
459
00:24:29,535 --> 00:24:33,915
He certainly doesn't kill. You
talk to anybody who knows him.
460
00:24:34,073 --> 00:24:36,246
Well, if you can help me,
that's what I'd like to do.
461
00:24:37,476 --> 00:24:41,185
There's a kid named Price.
Kenneth.
462
00:24:41,981 --> 00:24:45,861
He's a doctor. Ben's known
him for a long time.
463
00:24:48,020 --> 00:24:51,001
Yeah, sure, Bud and I grew up
together in Jamaica, Queens.
464
00:24:51,056 --> 00:24:52,592
Do you stay in touch?
465
00:24:53,392 --> 00:24:56,999
Well, we have dinner every couple of months.
Phone call every now and then.
466
00:24:57,062 --> 00:24:59,201
Does he ever discuss business?
467
00:24:59,765 --> 00:25:02,143
What he does for a living
bores me.
468
00:25:02,201 --> 00:25:05,410
Anyway, I doubt I'd
understand it even if we did.
469
00:25:06,272 --> 00:25:08,274
So, what do you talk about?
470
00:25:08,340 --> 00:25:11,412
Well, a favorite topic
is the old neighborhood.
471
00:25:11,844 --> 00:25:14,518
Specifically, about going back and
rubbing it in all of their faces.
472
00:25:14,880 --> 00:25:16,086
You know, Revenge of the Nerds.
473
00:25:17,049 --> 00:25:19,222
It sounds like Bud
didn't have a lot of friends.
474
00:25:19,318 --> 00:25:20,490
You're looking at him.
475
00:25:20,552 --> 00:25:23,692
In school, the white kids beat him up
because he was smarter then they were.
476
00:25:23,756 --> 00:25:26,896
And black kids beat him up because
he was hanging out with me.
477
00:25:27,393 --> 00:25:28,929
Looks like things don't change.
478
00:25:28,994 --> 00:25:31,065
Well, I don't think
race is relevant here.
479
00:25:31,130 --> 00:25:32,234
Aren't you naive.
480
00:25:33,866 --> 00:25:37,712
His father said Bud would never make an
issue out of the fact that he was black.
481
00:25:37,770 --> 00:25:38,840
Of course he wouldn't.
482
00:25:38,937 --> 00:25:41,383
It would give credibility to the
great white majority out there
483
00:25:41,440 --> 00:25:42,783
who think
that blacks are inferior.
484
00:25:42,841 --> 00:25:46,050
And by separating himself from the rest
of his race, he's saying they're right.
485
00:25:46,211 --> 00:25:49,749
You don't get it.
In his head, he's not black.
486
00:25:50,482 --> 00:25:53,725
He's just a guy who happens to be
smarter than 99% of the population.
487
00:25:53,852 --> 00:25:56,162
Well, I guess
he wasn't smart enough.
488
00:25:57,389 --> 00:26:01,269
I've known him for 30 years, Miss Kincaid.
He didn't kill anybody.
489
00:26:01,727 --> 00:26:04,708
This is the first
real success he's enjoyed.
490
00:26:04,763 --> 00:26:06,936
Why don't you
just leave him alone?
491
00:26:11,070 --> 00:26:14,244
From his resume, we didn't
even know what color he was.
492
00:26:15,207 --> 00:26:16,811
But when he showed up?
493
00:26:16,875 --> 00:26:18,912
Well, number eight
at Stanford business school,
494
00:26:18,977 --> 00:26:21,480
we'd have hired him
if he was green.
495
00:26:22,081 --> 00:26:24,561
So, how'd he work out?
C+.
496
00:26:25,150 --> 00:26:29,599
We gave him every opportunity,
but he just didn't produce.
497
00:26:29,788 --> 00:26:33,429
A year in Equities. Nothing. And
that was during the bull market.
498
00:26:33,959 --> 00:26:38,704
So we moved him over to Fixed Income Paper.
A lot less pressure.
499
00:26:39,531 --> 00:26:42,034
And there was no improvement?
Minimal.
500
00:26:42,734 --> 00:26:45,908
I couldn't understand it then
and I still can't.
501
00:26:46,305 --> 00:26:50,151
It was as if he had made it to
the top of the mountain and felt
502
00:26:50,209 --> 00:26:52,951
he didn't have to do anything
to stay there.
503
00:26:54,246 --> 00:26:55,816
So you fired him?
504
00:26:56,982 --> 00:26:59,826
We're in business to make money.
We gave him five years.
505
00:26:59,885 --> 00:27:03,264
We figured that was long enough
to avoid any potential lawsuits.
506
00:27:04,523 --> 00:27:07,800
But you already excluded the files
found in Greer's apartment.
507
00:27:07,926 --> 00:27:09,496
Because of the illegal search.
508
00:27:09,928 --> 00:27:13,375
The State can now prove that it would have
inevitably discovered the same evidence.
509
00:27:13,432 --> 00:27:15,605
Why, because he was
fired from his first job?
510
00:27:15,667 --> 00:27:17,510
Because he was
a less-than-competent trader.
511
00:27:17,569 --> 00:27:19,048
Enlighten me, Mr. McCoy.
512
00:27:19,137 --> 00:27:22,346
Overnight, Mr. Greer went from
showing a minimal profit, at best,
513
00:27:22,408 --> 00:27:24,251
to setting
world records in profits.
514
00:27:24,309 --> 00:27:25,982
Well, he saw the light.
He's a late bloomer.
515
00:27:26,045 --> 00:27:27,388
What does that have to do
with the murder trial?
516
00:27:27,446 --> 00:27:30,484
I wouldn't have known. But you can bet the
ranch I would have wanted to find out.
517
00:27:30,749 --> 00:27:31,853
So would I.
518
00:27:31,917 --> 00:27:35,524
Surely our investigators would have
looked into Mr. Greer's trading practices
519
00:27:35,587 --> 00:27:38,727
and evidence of his phantom trading
would have inevitably been discovered.
520
00:27:38,790 --> 00:27:43,739
I agree. The financial records previously
excluded can now be considered by a jury.
521
00:27:45,330 --> 00:27:47,833
He was at the scene,
we've got his fingerprints.
522
00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:51,174
And with the phantom trades, we've got motive.
It's a hat-trick, David.
523
00:27:51,236 --> 00:27:53,045
No, I still
don't see motive, Jack.
524
00:27:53,105 --> 00:27:54,846
He was ripping off the company.
525
00:27:54,907 --> 00:27:56,181
Holbrook found out.
526
00:27:56,241 --> 00:27:58,812
Greer increased profits
by 10 times.
527
00:27:58,877 --> 00:28:02,552
It's absurd to think that Holbrook
took two years to catch on to him...
528
00:28:02,614 --> 00:28:03,615
Maybe he was slow.
529
00:28:03,682 --> 00:28:04,717
And maybe he was greedy.
530
00:28:04,817 --> 00:28:08,162
You know, he made $15 million
because of my client.
531
00:28:08,220 --> 00:28:11,167
I doubt very much he was going to turn him in.
Jury might buy that.
532
00:28:11,256 --> 00:28:12,758
But I don't.
Well...
533
00:28:12,825 --> 00:28:14,327
If you're trying to talk deal,
I'm not listening.
534
00:28:14,393 --> 00:28:17,169
Suit yourself. Come here.
I want you to meet somebody.
535
00:28:18,230 --> 00:28:20,437
It's fine.
We'll counterclaim. Right.
536
00:28:22,668 --> 00:28:25,774
Jerome Bryant.
Yes, Mr. McCoy.
537
00:28:26,038 --> 00:28:29,508
Your equal protection arguments in front
of the Supreme Court are classic.
538
00:28:30,375 --> 00:28:31,752
Thank you.
539
00:28:31,810 --> 00:28:34,950
And I'm more than pleased to tell you
that I've been retained by Bud Greer
540
00:28:35,013 --> 00:28:36,720
to join his defense team.
541
00:28:36,782 --> 00:28:38,227
This is a criminal case.
542
00:28:38,283 --> 00:28:39,819
Unfortunately, Mr. McCoy,
543
00:28:39,885 --> 00:28:42,627
when a black man seeks justice
in the white judicial system,
544
00:28:42,688 --> 00:28:45,328
his civil rights
are usually violated.
545
00:28:51,029 --> 00:28:54,238
In the last 10 years, Bryant has found
racial implications in everything
546
00:28:54,299 --> 00:28:56,973
from house closings
to securities transactions.
547
00:28:57,035 --> 00:28:59,709
Well, he's gonna have to do
one hell of a magic act here.
548
00:28:59,771 --> 00:29:01,580
I'm not so sure about that.
549
00:29:01,640 --> 00:29:05,019
Notwithstanding Jerome Bryant's
proclamations from the mount,
550
00:29:05,077 --> 00:29:07,648
the entire judicial system
is not racist.
551
00:29:07,713 --> 00:29:10,626
Mike Tyson, Michael Jackson,
Jo..J. Simpson.
552
00:29:11,483 --> 00:29:14,225
This won't be the first time
that the State has been accused
553
00:29:14,720 --> 00:29:17,633
of trying to bring down
a high-profile black man.
554
00:29:17,789 --> 00:29:19,928
And in this case,
it's all nonsense.
555
00:29:19,992 --> 00:29:22,302
Yes, if trials
were about facts.
556
00:29:22,361 --> 00:29:25,365
This is about convicting
one man of homicide.
557
00:29:25,430 --> 00:29:26,932
Don't you wish...
558
00:29:27,799 --> 00:29:29,301
Got news for you.
559
00:29:30,168 --> 00:29:33,047
If enough people think it's about
racism, it's about racism.
560
00:29:33,105 --> 00:29:36,052
I'm not dealing with the universal
problems of society, Adam.
561
00:29:36,108 --> 00:29:38,054
Just one Class A felony.
562
00:29:38,277 --> 00:29:42,726
Well, we may not have the opportunity.
Bryant's made a motion to dismiss.
563
00:29:43,415 --> 00:29:46,794
It's been an exercise in racism
from the get-go, Your Honor.
564
00:29:47,085 --> 00:29:50,032
The only reason the police focused
their investigation on my client
565
00:29:50,088 --> 00:29:51,590
is because he's black.
566
00:29:51,657 --> 00:29:54,228
The fact that he's guilty may
have had something to do with it.
567
00:29:54,293 --> 00:29:56,330
Well, there were
hundreds of other suspects.
568
00:29:56,395 --> 00:29:58,705
Nobody bothered to look
into their closets.
569
00:29:58,764 --> 00:30:01,040
I hope you're not suggesting
that I dismiss the case
570
00:30:01,099 --> 00:30:03,010
because the police
did a good job.
571
00:30:03,068 --> 00:30:06,982
No, Judge, but I am saying
this entire investigation,
572
00:30:07,205 --> 00:30:09,276
beginning with the search
of my client's apartment,
573
00:30:09,341 --> 00:30:13,187
was motivated by racial bias
and is therefore illegal.
574
00:30:13,779 --> 00:30:15,520
In fact, it's clear
this search warrant
575
00:30:15,581 --> 00:30:17,060
would have never
been signed in the first place
576
00:30:17,115 --> 00:30:18,389
if the suspect weren't black.
577
00:30:18,450 --> 00:30:21,294
In Detective Logan's affidavit
in support of the warrant,
578
00:30:21,353 --> 00:30:25,859
he described the suspect as, and I
quote, "a 35-year-old black man."
579
00:30:26,425 --> 00:30:30,168
That's absurd. The affidavits were
sufficient without that description.
580
00:30:30,262 --> 00:30:33,141
Then why did your detectives
feel it necessary to include it?
581
00:30:33,198 --> 00:30:34,905
That's a good question.
582
00:30:35,167 --> 00:30:38,239
Mr. Bryant, on Tuesday morning you
can present evidence of racial bias
583
00:30:38,303 --> 00:30:40,840
in the search and/or arrest
of Mr. Greer.
584
00:30:40,906 --> 00:30:42,715
And if he's successful?
585
00:30:42,774 --> 00:30:44,515
I'll grant his motion
to dismiss.
586
00:30:44,576 --> 00:30:48,547
And I suggest the police department
hire a damn good civil attorney.
587
00:30:52,017 --> 00:30:55,260
Two other traders told us the
defendant was close to the deceased
588
00:30:55,320 --> 00:30:57,960
so we thought it was expedient
that we talk to him ourselves.
589
00:30:58,023 --> 00:31:01,869
What were the exact words spoken by these
other traders that led you to consider
590
00:31:01,927 --> 00:31:03,463
Mr. Greer a suspect
in the murder?
591
00:31:03,528 --> 00:31:06,304
Actually, we were just
following procedure.
592
00:31:07,833 --> 00:31:11,781
So, prior to interviewing Mr. Greer,
he was not, in fact, a suspect?
593
00:31:12,070 --> 00:31:13,606
LOGAN: That is correct.
594
00:31:13,872 --> 00:31:15,351
Now, during
the initial interview,
595
00:31:15,407 --> 00:31:18,445
what did Mr. Greer do or say
to change your opinion?
596
00:31:18,510 --> 00:31:21,889
During the initial interview
there was nothing specific.
597
00:31:21,947 --> 00:31:24,291
There were no eyewitnesses
to this murder, Detective.
598
00:31:24,816 --> 00:31:27,854
Mr. Greer neither did nor said
anything to make you suspicious,
599
00:31:27,919 --> 00:31:29,830
yet still you focused
your investigation on him.
600
00:31:29,888 --> 00:31:32,300
He lied to us.
He had a criminal record.
601
00:31:32,391 --> 00:31:34,234
He was arrested.
The charges were dropped.
602
00:31:34,293 --> 00:31:36,034
Yes, but he was the only one...
603
00:31:36,094 --> 00:31:37,664
Mr. Greer
was the only black man
604
00:31:37,729 --> 00:31:39,367
who worked for Mr. Holbrook.
Isn't that correct?
605
00:31:39,431 --> 00:31:40,535
As far as I know.
606
00:31:40,599 --> 00:31:43,045
So you figured if you dig deep
enough, you gonna find something.
607
00:31:43,101 --> 00:31:44,136
That's ridiculous.
608
00:31:44,202 --> 00:31:45,476
Oh, you think
a man's civil rights
609
00:31:45,537 --> 00:31:47,107
are ridiculous?
Objection.
610
00:31:47,172 --> 00:31:49,812
Withdrawn. No more questions.
611
00:31:54,012 --> 00:31:58,654
Did you check the criminal records of the
other traders at Jenkins, Clay as well?
612
00:31:58,917 --> 00:32:02,865
Yes, I did a search of everyone
in Mr. Holbrook's department.
613
00:32:02,921 --> 00:32:07,301
And as I tried to say before, Mr. Greer
was the only one with a previous arrest.
614
00:32:07,526 --> 00:32:08,937
Thank you.
615
00:32:10,228 --> 00:32:11,798
CALLAHAN: Mr. Bryant?
616
00:32:11,863 --> 00:32:13,035
No more witnesses.
617
00:32:13,398 --> 00:32:16,675
Then I'm afraid you haven't come
close to meeting your burden.
618
00:32:16,735 --> 00:32:18,874
Motion to dismiss is denied.
619
00:32:20,038 --> 00:32:23,918
Specious motions like that, you're
lucky your client makes seven figures.
620
00:32:24,042 --> 00:32:27,148
Actually, I thought His Honor would
have cut me off long before he did.
621
00:32:27,212 --> 00:32:29,852
I was just setting the stage
for the trial.
622
00:32:29,915 --> 00:32:32,452
You still plan
to make race an issue?
623
00:32:32,517 --> 00:32:34,793
I plan on making it
the only issue.
624
00:32:37,656 --> 00:32:40,933
It's our notice to call an expert witness.
Dr. Bettina Osgood.
625
00:32:40,992 --> 00:32:43,632
You're not saying that
Greer is insane?
626
00:32:43,695 --> 00:32:47,666
After the way Jenkins, Clay treated
him, I'm saying he was justified.
627
00:32:47,733 --> 00:32:49,508
But I'll live with insanity.
628
00:32:49,568 --> 00:32:53,141
A lifetime of suffering the
indignities of a racist society,
629
00:32:53,205 --> 00:32:55,310
eventually
the kettle boils over.
630
00:32:55,440 --> 00:32:58,353
The experts call it black rage.
631
00:32:58,410 --> 00:33:00,117
And we both know it's crap.
632
00:33:00,178 --> 00:33:02,920
Oh, is it?
Think about it, Mr. McCoy.
633
00:33:03,215 --> 00:33:05,320
If you wanted, you could spend
your entire life without having
634
00:33:05,384 --> 00:33:07,830
any significant contact
with a black man.
635
00:33:09,221 --> 00:33:11,428
First, that notion is absurd.
636
00:33:12,224 --> 00:33:14,568
Second,
it's entirely irrelevant.
637
00:33:14,626 --> 00:33:17,698
To you, maybe,
because you have an option.
638
00:33:18,363 --> 00:33:20,309
But if Mr. Greer didn't want
to mix with the white man,
639
00:33:20,365 --> 00:33:23,107
he would have to remain in
Harlem or Bedford-Stuyvesant
640
00:33:23,168 --> 00:33:28,413
or South Central Los Angeles. Like it or not,
this country is still one big plantation.
641
00:33:29,374 --> 00:33:31,684
And that makes it all right
for him to commit murder?
642
00:33:31,877 --> 00:33:34,881
No. But a jury
might consider it an excuse.
643
00:33:36,648 --> 00:33:38,958
I want my expert
to examine him.
644
00:33:39,017 --> 00:33:42,396
Hell, you can strip-search him for
all the good it's gonna do you.
645
00:33:48,193 --> 00:33:50,400
The cream rises to the top,
it's as simple as that.
646
00:33:50,462 --> 00:33:52,464
And the cream
is traditionally white.
647
00:33:52,564 --> 00:33:54,566
They make the rules.
They set the standards.
648
00:33:55,367 --> 00:33:58,109
So you found it necessary
to emulate them.
649
00:33:58,437 --> 00:34:01,475
That's a bit of a simplification,
Doctor, don't you think?
650
00:34:02,340 --> 00:34:04,047
Why don't you explain it to me?
651
00:34:05,077 --> 00:34:09,082
I got into Harvard, everyone in the class
assumed it was because I was black.
652
00:34:09,147 --> 00:34:12,026
I got a job on Wall Street, people
thought I was a window dressing.
653
00:34:12,083 --> 00:34:15,292
Well, that's simply a by-product
of affirmative action.
654
00:34:15,353 --> 00:34:17,424
In time it will disappear.
655
00:34:19,124 --> 00:34:20,694
Affirmative action!
656
00:34:21,660 --> 00:34:25,130
That's Jim Crow dressed up
in 20th-century liberalism.
657
00:34:25,797 --> 00:34:29,210
The black man's inferior so
we've got to help him survive.
658
00:34:29,267 --> 00:34:32,009
He's incompetent
so we'll give him a free ride.
659
00:34:32,070 --> 00:34:35,916
It's okay if he's lazy and
ill-prepared, we'll take care of him.
660
00:34:37,309 --> 00:34:41,189
You want the short course in the
history of race relations in America?
661
00:34:41,913 --> 00:34:44,052
It all starts with white men
662
00:34:44,115 --> 00:34:48,530
trying to protect white women
from the big bad black man.
663
00:34:48,887 --> 00:34:51,367
It was the prime argument
in favor of segregation.
664
00:34:51,423 --> 00:34:55,235
And it's what made lynching
an honorable diversion.
665
00:34:55,627 --> 00:34:57,971
We've come a long way
since then.
666
00:34:58,964 --> 00:35:02,969
Don't kid yourself, Doctor.
People are still scared.
667
00:35:03,702 --> 00:35:05,477
And fear begets hate.
668
00:35:06,571 --> 00:35:11,179
And hate is the one common ground
between black and white society.
669
00:35:11,543 --> 00:35:14,387
So that justifies your hatred
of white society?
670
00:35:14,446 --> 00:35:17,825
No, it justifies
my contempt for both.
671
00:35:20,418 --> 00:35:22,728
I've examined your client,
Mr. Bryant,
672
00:35:22,788 --> 00:35:25,098
and I can't imagine
any legitimate psychiatrist
673
00:35:25,157 --> 00:35:27,000
testifying that he was insane.
674
00:35:28,026 --> 00:35:31,269
Isn't this nice, three white folks
sitting around judging a black man.
675
00:35:31,329 --> 00:35:33,969
His whole life he's been separating
himself from the black community,
676
00:35:34,032 --> 00:35:37,878
and as soon as it suits him he
raises a gloved fist over his head.
677
00:35:37,936 --> 00:35:40,940
I know all about you,
Mr. Greer. You're a con man.
678
00:35:41,006 --> 00:35:44,510
First you conned Wall Street and now
you're trying to con Court Street.
679
00:35:44,776 --> 00:35:47,416
We'll just have to see what a
jury thinks about that, won't we?
680
00:35:51,349 --> 00:35:52,851
Let's go, Bud.
681
00:36:03,028 --> 00:36:05,406
Well, I can see why he wasn't
well-liked at the firm.
682
00:36:05,463 --> 00:36:07,670
You've never had to walk
in his shoes.
683
00:36:07,732 --> 00:36:09,211
You mean his Guccis.
684
00:36:09,834 --> 00:36:12,041
The guy is filled
with greed and ambition.
685
00:36:12,103 --> 00:36:14,879
Which goes a long way on
Wall Street if you're white.
686
00:36:14,940 --> 00:36:16,749
Greer's had white values
shoved down his throat.
687
00:36:16,808 --> 00:36:20,915
He had to accept them to feel successful.
It makes for a lot of self-loathing.
688
00:36:20,979 --> 00:36:23,482
Oh, that's great.
What?
689
00:36:23,815 --> 00:36:24,850
(SIGHING)
690
00:36:24,916 --> 00:36:29,058
I still don't like Greer. Only now
I've gotta feel guilty about it.
691
00:36:33,858 --> 00:36:36,839
Bud Greer didn't want
to take over the department.
692
00:36:37,128 --> 00:36:39,369
He wanted to be head
of the whole firm.
693
00:36:41,366 --> 00:36:43,607
Was that a realistic ambition?
694
00:36:44,669 --> 00:36:47,912
With the profits he was showing,
it might have happened eventually.
695
00:36:48,139 --> 00:36:49,618
JACK:
How long is eventually?
696
00:36:49,674 --> 00:36:51,551
The firm works
on strict seniority.
697
00:36:51,610 --> 00:36:54,056
He wasn't going anywhere until
Wallace Holbrook retired.
698
00:36:54,279 --> 00:36:56,054
Or died?
699
00:36:56,114 --> 00:36:57,149
Or died.
700
00:37:02,554 --> 00:37:07,765
Miss Stillman, please explain to the
court what is meant by Casual Day.
701
00:37:09,227 --> 00:37:11,730
It was a plan
instituted by Mr. Holbrook.
702
00:37:11,796 --> 00:37:14,504
Fridays every summer,
traders weren't required
703
00:37:14,566 --> 00:37:16,136
to dress in their normal
business clothes.
704
00:37:16,201 --> 00:37:18,704
Did Mr. Greer take advantage
of this dispensation?
705
00:37:19,604 --> 00:37:22,585
Well, that became a big joke
around the firm.
706
00:37:22,640 --> 00:37:25,348
The one time
he came in wearing khakis,
707
00:37:26,344 --> 00:37:28,881
a security guard
thought he was a busboy
708
00:37:28,947 --> 00:37:31,621
and made him enter the
cafeteria through the kitchen.
709
00:37:31,683 --> 00:37:33,321
And how did
Mr. Greer react?
710
00:37:33,685 --> 00:37:36,564
He read the guard the riot act,
had him fired that afternoon.
711
00:37:37,022 --> 00:37:39,002
BRYANT:
What about his coworkers?
712
00:37:42,027 --> 00:37:44,735
They left dirty dishes on his
desk when he wasn't there.
713
00:37:48,233 --> 00:37:50,645
COOKE: In the years before
Mr. Greer joined the firm,
714
00:37:50,702 --> 00:37:54,946
the largest bonus received by
Mr. Holbrook was $1.2 million.
715
00:37:55,006 --> 00:37:56,849
Last year, it was $15 million.
716
00:37:56,941 --> 00:37:59,444
And he didn't think that this
was cause for suspicion?
717
00:37:59,511 --> 00:38:01,684
It was cause for celebration.
718
00:38:02,447 --> 00:38:05,394
Look, Holbrook was not the
best supervisor at the firm,
719
00:38:05,450 --> 00:38:09,523
and maybe he should've looked a little
closer at some of Greer's transactions.
720
00:38:09,588 --> 00:38:13,536
But if you're asking me if I think
Holbrook would have accepted a bonus
721
00:38:13,591 --> 00:38:18,040
based on ill-gotten gains, my
answer is an unqualified no.
722
00:38:18,830 --> 00:38:20,207
Thank you.
723
00:38:24,469 --> 00:38:27,416
How many times have you
played golf with Mr. Greer?
724
00:38:27,472 --> 00:38:29,577
I can't say that I've ever
had the pleasure.
725
00:38:29,641 --> 00:38:32,053
How many times did you and
Mr. Greer eat lunch together?
726
00:38:32,110 --> 00:38:35,091
I run an investment bank,
sir. I'm very busy.
727
00:38:37,282 --> 00:38:38,761
But last week
728
00:38:40,185 --> 00:38:42,597
you had lunch
with Miss Stillman,
729
00:38:44,022 --> 00:38:46,730
Mr. Boggs, Mr. James,
730
00:38:47,959 --> 00:38:51,065
Ms. Appel, Mr. DeSoto.
731
00:38:53,031 --> 00:38:54,510
They're all traders
in your firm, aren't they?
732
00:38:54,566 --> 00:38:55,806
I see what you're getting at.
733
00:38:55,867 --> 00:38:57,904
They're all Caucasian traders,
isn't that right?
734
00:38:58,103 --> 00:38:59,207
Yes, they are.
735
00:38:59,270 --> 00:39:00,647
Now tell me, Mr. Cooke,
736
00:39:01,106 --> 00:39:03,848
why weren't you too busy
to break bread with them,
737
00:39:03,908 --> 00:39:05,615
but you couldn't squeeze out
45 minutes
738
00:39:05,677 --> 00:39:07,987
for a man who brought over
$1 billion into your firm?
739
00:39:08,046 --> 00:39:10,390
I didn't like him, sir.
He's smug. He's arrogant.
740
00:39:10,448 --> 00:39:11,950
And he's black.
741
00:39:19,591 --> 00:39:23,129
The black man in America
is estranged from society.
742
00:39:24,295 --> 00:39:27,469
He's been taught in school that he's
equal yet he cannot help but realize
743
00:39:27,532 --> 00:39:28,840
that he's different.
744
00:39:29,501 --> 00:39:32,277
BRYANT: And what is the source
of those feelings, Doctor?
745
00:39:32,337 --> 00:39:36,080
History. First selling
the black man into bondage,
746
00:39:36,174 --> 00:39:38,848
then America prospering on
the backs of black laborers,
747
00:39:38,910 --> 00:39:43,689
and then a changing technology
usurping the need for physical labor.
748
00:39:44,382 --> 00:39:48,797
It often leads to feelings
of uselessness and isolation,
749
00:39:48,853 --> 00:39:53,359
which in turn leads to self-hatred.
Unfortunately, it's very common.
750
00:39:54,726 --> 00:39:57,070
And how does this
self-hatred show itself?
751
00:39:57,128 --> 00:40:00,632
Well, eventually it's redirected
outward toward their tormentors.
752
00:40:01,366 --> 00:40:05,212
Some individuals can't help but lash
out at the symbols of their torment.
753
00:40:05,703 --> 00:40:07,444
In this case, Wallace Holbrook?
754
00:40:07,505 --> 00:40:08,609
That's correct.
755
00:40:09,607 --> 00:40:10,608
Thank you.
756
00:40:14,546 --> 00:40:16,856
What about
Holocaust survivors, Doctor?
757
00:40:16,915 --> 00:40:20,488
Or Cambodian refugees?
Or Soviet dissidents?
758
00:40:20,552 --> 00:40:24,659
They were persecuted. Are they also
entitled to kill their bosses?
759
00:40:25,857 --> 00:40:27,996
You can't equate the history
of blacks in America
760
00:40:28,059 --> 00:40:31,040
with that of the Jews
or Cambodians or Soviets.
761
00:40:31,863 --> 00:40:35,640
They weren't brought here in chains.
Their children weren't sold.
762
00:40:36,768 --> 00:40:42,514
I see. So that makes black men less
capable of exercising self-control.
763
00:40:43,842 --> 00:40:48,086
That is the very attitude that
feeds the racism in this country.
764
00:40:48,279 --> 00:40:49,553
Yes, Doctor.
765
00:40:50,582 --> 00:40:54,530
And it's you who are giving
all the bigots in this country
766
00:40:54,586 --> 00:40:57,362
the justification
for their fear and hatred.
767
00:41:01,793 --> 00:41:04,239
No one ever expected me
to show a profit.
768
00:41:04,295 --> 00:41:07,276
They just wanted my picture
in their annual reports.
769
00:41:07,332 --> 00:41:09,471
What happened when you
did in fact make money?
770
00:41:10,201 --> 00:41:14,479
The consensus was that I was the
luckiest guy on the trading floor.
771
00:41:15,073 --> 00:41:18,111
It was inconceivable to them that
I could actually play their game
772
00:41:18,176 --> 00:41:19,211
and beat them at it.
773
00:41:20,879 --> 00:41:24,292
The night of the murder, did you have
a conversation with Wallace Holbrook?
774
00:41:24,349 --> 00:41:25,419
Yes.
775
00:41:25,550 --> 00:41:28,258
He had received a memo from
Accounting detailing all of my trades
776
00:41:28,319 --> 00:41:30,060
over the past two years.
777
00:41:30,288 --> 00:41:31,824
He was laughing at me.
778
00:41:32,190 --> 00:41:36,138
He said he knew that a nigger
couldn't do it honestly.
779
00:41:36,995 --> 00:41:38,599
And what did you do?
780
00:41:39,864 --> 00:41:43,710
I don't remember. I just remember
him lying on the floor dead.
781
00:41:51,709 --> 00:41:53,484
Sir, what would have happened
if Wallace Holbrook
782
00:41:53,544 --> 00:41:55,922
had exposed
your phantom trades?
783
00:41:56,047 --> 00:41:57,890
I would have had to return
my bonus money.
784
00:41:58,149 --> 00:41:59,184
$10 million.
785
00:41:59,250 --> 00:42:00,729
The money is irrelevant.
786
00:42:01,119 --> 00:42:04,965
I left it in their bank account.
I never spent a penny of it.
787
00:42:05,023 --> 00:42:07,503
You weren't concerned
about larceny charges?
788
00:42:07,559 --> 00:42:09,300
There was
little chance of that.
789
00:42:09,360 --> 00:42:12,307
They wouldn't want their shareholders
to find out how easy it was
790
00:42:12,363 --> 00:42:14,104
to manipulate the system.
791
00:42:14,165 --> 00:42:17,203
I would have had to
leave the firm, period.
792
00:42:18,670 --> 00:42:21,412
I suspect being fired
would have been humiliating.
793
00:42:24,976 --> 00:42:27,183
Do you know
what Wallace said to me?
794
00:42:28,413 --> 00:42:31,360
He said that I should go back
to the jungle
795
00:42:32,517 --> 00:42:35,657
and steal coconuts
from monkeys.
796
00:42:38,423 --> 00:42:42,030
That is humiliating,
Mr. McCoy.
797
00:42:46,831 --> 00:42:48,139
Hell of a performance.
798
00:42:48,199 --> 00:42:51,874
Yeah, he has the right audience.
Eight black jurors.
799
00:42:52,070 --> 00:42:53,743
I give them more credit
than that.
800
00:42:53,805 --> 00:42:56,809
I mean, just because Bryant condescends
to them, doesn't mean we have to.
801
00:42:57,075 --> 00:42:59,282
Nobody's condescending here,
young lady.
802
00:42:59,344 --> 00:43:00,789
Wait a minute.
803
00:43:01,713 --> 00:43:04,853
You're not saying there's any
validity to this black rage defense?
804
00:43:06,851 --> 00:43:09,923
No, I'm saying that intellectually
it's easy to dismiss.
805
00:43:10,555 --> 00:43:13,832
Emotionally, Ben Greer
may have struck a major chord
806
00:43:13,892 --> 00:43:15,166
with a lot of the jurors.
807
00:43:15,226 --> 00:43:16,569
So let me get this straight.
808
00:43:16,661 --> 00:43:20,666
The only way it's possible for a black
man accused of killing a white man
809
00:43:20,732 --> 00:43:23,770
to get a fair trial
is to have an all-white jury?
810
00:43:24,669 --> 00:43:27,172
I'll call the Senate. We need
a constitutional amendment.
811
00:43:27,238 --> 00:43:30,685
I don't like your implications.
I don't need the sarcasm.
812
00:43:30,808 --> 00:43:32,583
Cut a deal. Put an end to it.
813
00:43:32,677 --> 00:43:36,124
If we cut a deal, we'll be saying
to anybody who has an ax to grind
814
00:43:36,180 --> 00:43:38,626
that they've got a license
to kill at random.
815
00:43:38,683 --> 00:43:41,857
No, we're saying
we want murderers behind bars.
816
00:43:46,524 --> 00:43:48,800
So what are we talking about,
Jack?
817
00:43:49,027 --> 00:43:50,973
Man one.
He does the max.
818
00:43:51,029 --> 00:43:52,167
You've got to be kidding.
819
00:43:52,630 --> 00:43:54,803
He's admitted
he killed Holbrook.
820
00:43:54,866 --> 00:43:56,641
It's a gift.
A gift?
821
00:43:57,535 --> 00:43:59,606
A gift would be
erasing 200 years of history.
822
00:43:59,671 --> 00:44:01,776
You're starting to believe
your client's press.
823
00:44:01,839 --> 00:44:03,785
GREER:
You're lucky, Mr. McCoy.
824
00:44:04,142 --> 00:44:07,351
In your life, it doesn't matter
that we live in a racist country.
825
00:44:07,412 --> 00:44:08,413
Really?
826
00:44:08,479 --> 00:44:09,514
Yes, really.
827
00:44:11,182 --> 00:44:15,460
You play at being civilized, colorblind.
But it's all a fraud.
828
00:44:16,387 --> 00:44:19,266
My life is the quintessential
case in point.
829
00:44:19,557 --> 00:44:21,366
No one owes you an apology.
830
00:44:22,760 --> 00:44:26,640
I'm not looking for one. And I'm
not looking for a deal, either.
831
00:44:27,031 --> 00:44:28,442
You know what? I'm glad.
832
00:44:28,499 --> 00:44:30,308
No, you should be scared.
833
00:44:31,703 --> 00:44:35,412
You see, you've always
crossed the street
834
00:44:35,740 --> 00:44:39,347
every time a couple of hip-hopping
ghetto boys walk toward you
835
00:44:40,178 --> 00:44:41,486
but now,
836
00:44:42,146 --> 00:44:46,822
every time a nigger in a $2,000
suit sits next to you at lunch,
837
00:44:47,685 --> 00:44:52,327
you'll clench your fists a little tighter,
breathe just a little bit deeper.
838
00:44:53,624 --> 00:44:58,039
If nothing else, now the world
knows that he's just as angry
839
00:44:58,229 --> 00:45:00,436
and just as likely to explode.
840
00:45:04,735 --> 00:45:08,615
You don't scare me, Mr. Greer.
But you do disgust me.
841
00:45:11,342 --> 00:45:16,519
You're nothing but a thief and a
murderer hiding behind your race.
842
00:45:49,313 --> 00:45:53,056
On the sole count of the indictment,
Murder in the Second Degree,
843
00:45:53,951 --> 00:45:55,453
how do you find?
844
00:45:55,820 --> 00:45:59,233
We find the defendant,
Benjamin Greer, guilty.
845
00:45:59,423 --> 00:46:01,926
(PEOPLE CHATTERING)
846
00:46:25,917 --> 00:46:28,693
The Times says
Greer's going to appeal.
847
00:46:28,753 --> 00:46:30,994
He'll have to find
a mistake of law first.
848
00:46:31,055 --> 00:46:34,264
Well, he's hired three more
attorneys to help him.
849
00:46:36,661 --> 00:46:38,572
Jack, that man
was here before we were.
850
00:46:41,432 --> 00:46:43,139
You getting in or what?
851
00:46:43,189 --> 00:46:47,739
