wrong, he refused to tell me.

didn't share his feelings
with you last night,

about what was bothering him?

Not specifically, but it...
114
00:05:49,728 --> 00:05:52,231

to do with work.

a $300 million bank loan
from the company.

Exactly. That's why I was upset.
158
00:08:03,342 --> 00:08:05,052
He went behind my back.
159
00:08:05,094 --> 00:08:06,554
Any reason why?
160
00:08:06,595 --> 00:08:09,390
He inflated the company's
earning projections,
161
00:08:09,431 --> 00:08:11,183
wanted to make sure the bank said yes.
162
00:08:11,225 --> 00:08:13,185
So you were upset?
163
00:08:13,227 --> 00:08:15,896
Upset enough
to throw a heavy object at him?
164
00:08:15,938 --> 00:08:17,398
That's correct.
165
00:08:18,691 --> 00:08:22,027
But I didn't kill him, for God's sake.
166
00:08:22,069 --> 00:08:24,238
But the truth is,
167
00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:26,157
I really liked Alex.
168
00:08:26,198 --> 00:08:28,534
He was a good man.
169
00:08:28,576 --> 00:08:30,453
Just in over his head, if you ask me.
170
00:08:30,494 --> 00:08:31,996
Meaning what?
171
00:08:32,037 --> 00:08:34,832
Meaning he wasn't cut out
for the corporate world.
172
00:08:34,874 --> 00:08:37,334
Didn't like all the politics.

that you made him commit.

You just couldn't be sure
he'd keep his mouth shut.
183
00:09:06,739 --> 00:09:08,949
I went there to calm Alex down,

had no merit.
185
00:09:12,077 --> 00:09:15,372

Because she has
no financial imagination.
192
00:09:30,930 --> 00:09:34,016

I'm not the kind of person
who can just sit around and wallow,

No, it wasn't worth

So if the medal was stolen
by whoever murdered Lockett,
227
00:10:53,721 --> 00:10:56,474
that must mean his death

00:17:07,551 --> 00:17:09,136
I've been running the prints CSU lifted
356
00:17:09,178 --> 00:17:10,763
from the interior of the truck.
357
00:17:10,805 --> 00:17:12,389
Three latents
from the driver's side door
358
00:17:12,431 --> 00:17:13,974
belonged to a Luke Fallon.
359
00:17:14,016 --> 00:17:16,894
He served in the same unit
as Risner and Martinez.
360
00:17:16,936 --> 00:17:18,979
At the funeral, there was
a picture at the entrance.
361
00:17:19,021 --> 00:17:20,106
There was three guys:
362
00:17:20,147 --> 00:17:23,400
Martinez, Risner, and the third guy.
363
00:17:23,442 --> 00:17:25,319
That's the third guy.
364
00:17:25,361 --> 00:17:29,156
Fallon has a registered gun,
a SIG Sauer P365.
365
00:17:29,198 --> 00:17:32,618
That's a 9-mil.
Same caliber used to kill Lockett.
366
00:17:32,660 --> 00:17:34,286
All right. Let's bring this guy in.
367
00:17:34,328 --> 00:17:36,622
His address is in New Jersey,
but his Metro card
368
00:17:36,664 --> 00:17:40,167
was just used 19 minutes ago to
board a Q39 bus in Sunnyside.
369
00:17:40,209 --> 00:17:42,294
Queens.
370
00:17:42,336 --> 00:17:44,171
Where's he going?
371
00:17:44,213 --> 00:17:45,422
I think I know.
372
00:17:48,801 --> 00:17:52,012
Luke Fallon, NYPD. Show me your hands.
373
00:17:54,974 --> 00:17:56,725
Show me your hands!
374
00:17:56,767 --> 00:17:58,978
Keep them up.
375
00:17:59,019 --> 00:18:01,313
Hey, hey, hey, hey, put that hand up.
376
00:18:01,355 --> 00:18:02,898
Put that hand up.
377
00:18:13,701 --> 00:18:15,828
What do you know?
378
00:18:15,870 --> 00:18:17,955
Lockett's medal.
379
00:18:27,032 --> 00:18:28,968
I just got a call
380
00:18:28,993 --> 00:18:31,912
from the Office of
the Undersecretary of Defense
381
00:18:31,954 --> 00:18:33,831
looking for a status report
382
00:18:33,873 --> 00:18:37,626
on the case against Colonel
Alexander Lockett's killer.
383
00:18:37,668 --> 00:18:40,838
That's an impressive level
of investment.
384
00:18:40,880 --> 00:18:43,257
Lockett retired almost a decade ago.
385
00:18:43,299 --> 00:18:44,675
Active service or not,
386
00:18:44,717 --> 00:18:48,262
the army notices
when a decorated war hero
387
00:18:48,304 --> 00:18:50,264
is brutally murdered.
388
00:18:50,306 --> 00:18:52,224
What did you tell them?
389
00:18:52,266 --> 00:18:54,810
That justice will be served.
390
00:18:54,852 --> 00:18:57,313
- I assume you agree.
- I do.
391
00:18:57,354 --> 00:19:00,608
Even though you can't place
Fallon at the murder scene.
392
00:19:00,649 --> 00:19:02,651
I can come close.
393
00:19:02,693 --> 00:19:04,945
I can put him in the truck,
394
00:19:04,987 --> 00:19:07,406
where Lockett's blood was found
on the night of the murder.
395
00:19:07,448 --> 00:19:08,490
How?
396
00:19:08,532 --> 00:19:10,409
I'm gonna call Vincent Martinez.
397
00:19:10,451 --> 00:19:13,370
I thought Martinez wasn't
interested in cooperating.
398
00:19:13,412 --> 00:19:14,955
He wasn't
399
00:19:14,997 --> 00:19:17,875
until I threatened to charge
him with accomplice to murder.
400
00:19:19,877 --> 00:19:21,921
He'll be a hostile witness.
401
00:19:26,383 --> 00:19:29,970
Mr. Martinez,
how do you know the defendant?
402
00:19:30,012 --> 00:19:32,681
We were stationed together in Iraq.
403
00:19:32,723 --> 00:19:35,935
Camp Victory, just outside Baghdad.
404
00:19:35,976 --> 00:19:39,021
We served on the same unit
from 2006 to 2008.
405
00:19:39,063 --> 00:19:41,941
And did you see the defendant
on September 27,
406
00:19:41,982 --> 00:19:45,319
the day that Alexander Lockett
was murdered?
407
00:19:49,114 --> 00:19:50,574
I don't know.
408
00:19:50,616 --> 00:19:53,577
You don't know if you saw him or not?
409
00:19:56,247 --> 00:19:58,582
I don't know.
410
00:19:58,624 --> 00:20:02,628
Yeah, I guess I saw him that day.
411
00:20:02,670 --> 00:20:05,172
And did Luke Fallon ask
412
00:20:05,214 --> 00:20:07,258
if he could borrow your truck
that evening?
413
00:20:13,556 --> 00:20:15,975
Mr. Martinez?
414
00:20:17,768 --> 00:20:19,603
I have nothing to say.
415
00:20:19,645 --> 00:20:22,273
Answer the question, Mr. Martinez.
416
00:20:22,314 --> 00:20:23,399
I'm sorry, but no.
417
00:20:23,440 --> 00:20:24,733
Answer the question,
418
00:20:24,775 --> 00:20:26,277
or you'll be held in contempt of court.
419
00:20:26,318 --> 00:20:27,987
- Mr. Martinez...
- You do what you have to do.
420
00:20:28,028 --> 00:20:29,572
- Please, Your Honor...
- I'm serious, Mr. Martinez.
421
00:20:29,613 --> 00:20:30,698
And so am I.
422
00:20:30,739 --> 00:20:32,616
Then I find you in contempt.
423
00:20:32,658 --> 00:20:33,951
Officer, take charge.
424
00:20:47,464 --> 00:20:51,635
So what exactly
are we hoping to find here?
425
00:20:51,677 --> 00:20:53,470
Anything to salvage this case.
426
00:20:53,512 --> 00:20:54,680
Oh, just that?
427
00:20:54,722 --> 00:20:57,892
If we could find video or a witness
428
00:20:57,933 --> 00:21:01,145
that saw Luke Fallon
in Risner's truck that night,
429
00:21:01,187 --> 00:21:03,105
then we could at least
place him at Lockett's house
430
00:21:03,147 --> 00:21:04,815
- when the murder occurred.
- We tried.
431
00:21:04,857 --> 00:21:06,734
The only video that we could recover,
432
00:21:06,775 --> 00:21:10,279
other than the traffic cam that
was near Lockett's brownstone,
433
00:21:10,321 --> 00:21:14,074
was off of an exit of Garden
State Parkway at 12:58 a.m.
434
00:21:14,116 --> 00:21:16,493
But the visor was down, so we
couldn't see who was driving.
435
00:21:16,535 --> 00:21:19,538
Well, that's less
than an hour after the murder.
436
00:21:19,580 --> 00:21:21,207
Is the exit the truck got off
437
00:21:21,248 --> 00:21:22,833
the one closest to Fallon's house?
438
00:21:22,875 --> 00:21:25,294
No, it's actually not.
It's four earlier.
439
00:21:25,336 --> 00:21:28,380
That means, presuming
Fallon was the one driving,
440
00:21:28,422 --> 00:21:32,801
that he didn't go directly home
after killing Lockett.
441
00:21:32,843 --> 00:21:34,386
- Why?
- Our theory:
442
00:21:34,428 --> 00:21:36,138
that's when he was
ditching the murder weapon.
443
00:21:36,180 --> 00:21:38,057
It's close to the hospital
where Shane Risner
444
00:21:38,098 --> 00:21:40,309
was getting treatment
for his pulmonary fibrosis.
445
00:21:40,351 --> 00:21:43,062
His father told us
that Fallon and Martinez
446
00:21:43,103 --> 00:21:45,147
took turns taking him
to his appointments
447
00:21:45,189 --> 00:21:48,108
because he wasn't feeling well
enough to drive himself, so...
448
00:21:48,150 --> 00:21:50,236
When I was prepping Vincent Martinez,
449
00:21:50,277 --> 00:21:53,697
he told me
that sometimes after treatments
450
00:21:53,739 --> 00:21:56,951
Risner asked to go
to a park in the area.
451
00:21:58,953 --> 00:22:00,704
Branch Brook Park?
452
00:22:00,746 --> 00:22:02,831
That's it. That's the one.
453
00:22:02,873 --> 00:22:05,834
He said Risner had difficulty breathing,
454
00:22:05,876 --> 00:22:08,045
so he liked to sit on a bench
455
00:22:08,087 --> 00:22:12,922
and enjoy the fresh air
coming off the lake.
456
00:22:19,223 --> 00:22:22,184
Detective, were you able
to run a ballistics test
457
00:22:22,226 --> 00:22:24,144
on the gun you recovered from the lake?
458
00:22:24,186 --> 00:22:25,229
We were.
459
00:22:25,271 --> 00:22:26,605
The striations on the bullets retrieved
460
00:22:26,647 --> 00:22:29,608
from Colonel Lockett's body
matched the rifling
461
00:22:29,650 --> 00:22:31,110
and characteristics of that firearm.
462
00:22:31,151 --> 00:22:33,487
Confirming that this is the gun
463
00:22:33,529 --> 00:22:36,198
that was used
to murder Alexander Lockett?
464
00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:37,491
That's correct.
465
00:22:37,533 --> 00:22:38,826
And is the gun registered?
466
00:22:38,868 --> 00:22:41,328
Yes.
467
00:22:41,370 --> 00:22:44,498
To Luke Fallon, the defendant.
468
00:22:44,540 --> 00:22:46,500
Thank you, Detective.
469
00:22:48,627 --> 00:22:51,630
We have no questions
for this witness at this time.
470
00:22:51,672 --> 00:22:54,216
Detective Shaw, you may step down.
471
00:22:54,258 --> 00:22:56,468
- Thank you, Your Honor.
- Prosecution rests.
472
00:23:02,224 --> 00:23:04,560
Your Honor, the defense
would like to inform the court
473
00:23:04,602 --> 00:23:06,770
that we're filing a motion
to change our plea.
474
00:23:06,812 --> 00:23:08,022
To what?
475
00:23:08,063 --> 00:23:11,192
Not guilty by reason of insanity.
476
00:23:19,047 --> 00:23:21,502
Fallon now admits
he shot Alexander Lockett,
477
00:23:21,527 --> 00:23:25,114
just claims he wasn't in his right mind
when it actually happened.
478
00:23:25,155 --> 00:23:27,741
They're going with
a temporary insanity defense.
479
00:23:27,783 --> 00:23:29,326
A variation thereof.
480
00:23:29,368 --> 00:23:32,121
It turns out Fallon has a glioblastoma,
481
00:23:32,162 --> 00:23:34,248
a brain tumor on his frontal lobe.
482
00:23:34,289 --> 00:23:37,126
The defense is arguing it
impacted his impulse control.
483
00:23:37,167 --> 00:23:38,919
How did we not know about this?
484
00:23:38,961 --> 00:23:41,672
It was diagnosed
only a week before the murder.
485
00:23:41,714 --> 00:23:43,382
He hadn't received treatment yet,
486
00:23:43,424 --> 00:23:47,011
and by their account,
hadn't told anyone,
487
00:23:47,052 --> 00:23:48,971
including his attorney, until now.
488
00:23:49,013 --> 00:23:50,889
That's strains credulity.
489
00:23:50,931 --> 00:23:52,474
Judge thought so too
490
00:23:52,516 --> 00:23:54,727
but ultimately accepted
their change of plea.
491
00:23:54,768 --> 00:23:57,104
Studies have linked glioblastomas
492
00:23:57,146 --> 00:24:00,190
specifically to toxic exposure
from burn pits.
493
00:24:00,232 --> 00:24:02,192
So from Fallon's perspective,
494
00:24:02,234 --> 00:24:05,654
Colonel Lockett was not only responsible
495
00:24:05,696 --> 00:24:09,033
for his best friend's suicide
but also for his own diagnosis.
496
00:24:09,074 --> 00:24:11,368
That only strengthens
his motive to kill Lockett.
497
00:24:11,410 --> 00:24:14,413
But the defense has a neurooncologist
498
00:24:14,455 --> 00:24:17,583
who will testify that the tumor
is to blame for the murder
499
00:24:17,624 --> 00:24:21,253
and impaired Fallon's ability
to control his actions
500
00:24:21,295 --> 00:24:23,380
and distinguish
right from wrong in the moment.
501
00:24:23,422 --> 00:24:27,384
That's not true, but it's good strategy.
502
00:24:27,426 --> 00:24:29,928
Allows them to introduce the burn pits
503
00:24:29,970 --> 00:24:32,181
and the tragic aftermath.
504
00:24:32,222 --> 00:24:34,058
Paint the defendant as the victim.
505
00:24:34,099 --> 00:24:36,435
In a way, he is.
506
00:24:36,477 --> 00:24:40,272
Whether Lockett knew the
burn pits were harmful or not,
507
00:24:40,314 --> 00:24:42,524
he refused to get rid of them.
508
00:24:42,566 --> 00:24:45,444
Now these guys are sick.
I mean, real sick.
509
00:24:45,486 --> 00:24:47,780
If I'm on the jury, I wouldn't convict
510
00:24:47,821 --> 00:24:51,784
the soldier who got a
brain tumor he didn't deserve.
511
00:24:51,825 --> 00:24:53,619
You saying we should offer a plea?
512
00:24:53,661 --> 00:24:57,748
No, absolutely not.
This murder was premeditated.
513
00:24:57,790 --> 00:25:00,042
I agree.
514
00:25:00,084 --> 00:25:02,086
But Ms. Maroun's right.
515
00:25:02,127 --> 00:25:04,213
The jury is gonna eat this up,
516
00:25:04,254 --> 00:25:08,509
so make it clear to them
what the defense is doing,
517
00:25:08,550 --> 00:25:10,761
using the defendant's brain tumor
518
00:25:10,803 --> 00:25:14,848
to emotionally manipulate them
into ignoring the facts.
519
00:25:20,020 --> 00:25:21,397
Glioblastoma is one
520
00:25:21,438 --> 00:25:24,483
of the most aggressive types
of brain cancer.
521
00:25:24,525 --> 00:25:27,319
Unfortunately,
it's almost always terminal.
522
00:25:27,361 --> 00:25:30,906
And Dr. Simon, do we know
what causes glioblastoma?
523
00:25:30,948 --> 00:25:32,991
Likely a combination of factors.
524
00:25:33,033 --> 00:25:36,704
Genetic predisposition,
exposure to carcinogens.
525
00:25:36,745 --> 00:25:39,415
Exposure like
that inflicted upon soldiers
526
00:25:39,456 --> 00:25:42,960
forced to inhale toxic smoke
from burn pits?
527
00:25:43,002 --> 00:25:46,505
Yes, studies have shown
a clear correlation.
528
00:25:46,547 --> 00:25:49,633
Glioblastoma incidence
is very low among cancer types,
529
00:25:49,675 --> 00:25:51,844
about 1 per 10,000 cases.
530
00:25:51,885 --> 00:25:54,513
But for those who spent
significant amounts of time
531
00:25:54,555 --> 00:25:57,891
around the burn pits,
it's astronomically higher.
532
00:25:57,933 --> 00:25:59,893
During your evaluation of Luke Fallon,
533
00:25:59,935 --> 00:26:02,021
what did he tell you happened
534
00:26:02,062 --> 00:26:04,982
on the evening of September 27?
535
00:26:05,024 --> 00:26:07,651
He reported an upsetting conversation
536
00:26:07,693 --> 00:26:09,361
with his former base commander
537
00:26:09,403 --> 00:26:11,905
and then experiencing a total blackout.
538
00:26:11,947 --> 00:26:14,116
When he emerged, he had no memory
539
00:26:14,158 --> 00:26:16,327
of pulling out or firing his weapon.
540
00:26:16,368 --> 00:26:19,330
Dr. Simon, in your professional opinion,
541
00:26:19,371 --> 00:26:22,374
was Luke Fallon's tumor responsible
542
00:26:22,416 --> 00:26:24,251
for his shooting Alexander Lockett?
543
00:26:24,293 --> 00:26:27,963
Yes, I believe Mr. Fallon
had no ability to control
544
00:26:28,005 --> 00:26:31,884
or understand the consequences
of his actions at the time.
545
00:26:31,925 --> 00:26:35,137
Thank you. No further questions.
546
00:26:39,600 --> 00:26:42,561
Dr. Simon,
547
00:26:42,603 --> 00:26:46,231
you testified that the
defendant's tumor was to blame
548
00:26:46,273 --> 00:26:49,026
for his losing control in the moment.
549
00:26:49,068 --> 00:26:50,986
Is it also responsible
550
00:26:51,028 --> 00:26:54,114
for Mr. Fallon asking Vincent Martinez
551
00:26:54,156 --> 00:26:56,492
if he could borrow his truck
on the night in question?
552
00:26:56,533 --> 00:26:58,994
No, I can't see how it would be.
553
00:26:59,036 --> 00:27:00,537
Is it responsible
554
00:27:00,579 --> 00:27:03,916
for his driving
to Alexander Lockett's home
555
00:27:03,957 --> 00:27:06,418
with a loaded semiautomatic pistol?
556
00:27:06,460 --> 00:27:07,920
No.
557
00:27:07,961 --> 00:27:11,037
Did it make him drive around
558
00:27:11,062 --> 00:27:13,425
the block for 20 minutes,
559
00:27:13,467 --> 00:27:16,095
waiting for Lockett to be alone,
560
00:27:16,136 --> 00:27:20,307
and sneak onto his property
with said gun?
561
00:27:20,349 --> 00:27:21,975
No.
562
00:27:23,560 --> 00:27:24,853
Thank you.
563
00:27:24,895 --> 00:27:26,689
No further questions.

We knew those burn pits were deadly.

of the night unable to breathe,

to do something.

upwind from the smoke,
574
00:28:09,356 --> 00:28:13,610
so why should he care, right?

00:28:13,652 --> 00:28:18,449
What happened
on the night of September 27?

Shane had just killed himself.
577
00:28:22,661 --> 00:28:25,372
I was upset.
578
00:28:25,414 --> 00:28:29,335
This is Shane Risner?
579
00:28:29,376 --> 00:28:34,298
The two of you were close, weren't you?

00:28:34,340 --> 00:28:37,718
Closer than brothers.

he wasn't in excruciating pain
from the pulmonary fibrosis.
583
00:28:45,309 --> 00:28:46,685
And he was wracked with guilt

00:28:46,727 --> 00:28:50,397
about putting his family
in debt with medical bills

00:28:50,439 --> 00:28:53,609

His esophagus disintegrated.
588
00:29:02,576 --> 00:29:07,498
It literally hurt for him to breathe,

00:29:22,137 --> 00:29:25,808
what happened because of him.
594
00:29:25,849 --> 00:29:29,561
And what did you do when you got there?
595
00:29:29,603 --> 00:29:33,691
I confronted him. I wanted an apology.
596
00:29:33,732 --> 00:29:36,777
I wanted him to say he was wrong,
597
00:29:36,819 --> 00:29:39,863
but he refused.
598
00:29:39,905 --> 00:29:43,117
He wouldn't even say
the burn pits were bad.
599
00:29:45,869 --> 00:29:49,123
I got angry,
600
00:29:49,164 --> 00:29:51,291
and the next thing I remember,
601
00:29:51,333 --> 00:29:55,796
I was standing over him holding my gun.
602
00:29:57,840 --> 00:30:00,843
But I swear,
603
00:30:00,884 --> 00:30:04,221
I never went there
intending to hurt him.
604
00:30:04,263 --> 00:30:08,267
Then why bring your gun?

I always have it on me.
606
00:30:10,978 --> 00:30:14,857
After so many years in the
service, it's second nature.
607
00:30:14,898 --> 00:30:18,777
But I've never fired it
outside of combat

00:30:18,819 --> 00:30:20,446
and never would.

Excuse me, Counselors.

Sergeant Major Bryce Crawford,
Army Office of Public Affairs.
615
00:30:49,350 --> 00:30:52,061
Do you have a moment?
616
00:30:52,102 --> 00:30:54,813
I have been tasked
with keeping tabs on this case,
617
00:30:54,855 --> 00:30:56,148
for obvious reasons.
618
00:30:56,190 --> 00:30:57,775
I can imagine.

00:30:57,816 --> 00:30:59,902
I have something you need to see.

What am I looking at?
621
00:31:03,405 --> 00:31:06,200
It's an after-incident report from 2008
622
00:31:06,241 --> 00:31:08,619
involving Sergeant Luke Fallon.
623
00:31:08,661 --> 00:31:10,329
Involving how?
624
00:31:10,371 --> 00:31:11,497
The details of it are in there,
625
00:31:11,538 --> 00:31:14,041
but the gist of it...
626
00:31:14,083 --> 00:31:15,668
During a routine night patrol
627
00:31:15,709 --> 00:31:17,836
in an area just outside of Baghdad,
628
00:31:17,878 --> 00:31:19,338
Sergeant Fallon got in an argument
629
00:31:19,380 --> 00:31:22,174
with three unarmed Iraqi civilians.
630
00:31:22,216 --> 00:31:23,425
The fight got physical.
631
00:31:23,467 --> 00:31:26,095
Sergeant Fallon discharged his firearm,
632
00:31:26,136 --> 00:31:28,055
killing one of the civilians.
633
00:31:28,097 --> 00:31:30,766
He's killed someone before?
634
00:31:30,808 --> 00:31:31,809
Why wasn't this report
635
00:31:31,850 --> 00:31:34,019
in Fallon's military personnel file?
636
00:31:34,061 --> 00:31:36,647
Due to the sensitive nature
of the army's presence
637
00:31:36,689 --> 00:31:39,066
in that particular region at that time,
638
00:31:39,108 --> 00:31:41,443
it was deemed classified.
639
00:31:41,485 --> 00:31:43,987
Was he ever formally charged
with anything?
640
00:31:44,029 --> 00:31:45,155
He was sent home.
641
00:31:45,197 --> 00:31:46,990
His time in the army was over.
642
00:31:47,032 --> 00:31:49,326
And for reasons of national security,
643
00:31:49,368 --> 00:31:52,204
the report was never
made public knowledge.
644
00:31:52,246 --> 00:31:54,873
But given its value in this case,
645
00:31:54,915 --> 00:31:57,042
I've been authorized to declassify it.
646
00:31:57,084 --> 00:31:59,044
This is helpful.
647
00:31:59,086 --> 00:32:01,755
This directly refutes his claim
he'd never fired his weapon
648
00:32:01,797 --> 00:32:03,966
outside of active combat
prior to having the tumor.
649
00:32:04,008 --> 00:32:06,218
It also conveniently
shifts the focus away
650
00:32:06,260 --> 00:32:09,221
from the army's culpability
surrounding the burn pits.
651
00:32:09,263 --> 00:32:10,806
With all due respect, ma'am,
652
00:32:10,848 --> 00:32:14,393
operational decisions are easy
to criticize with hindsight.
653
00:32:14,435 --> 00:32:15,728
At the time, the army had been
654
00:32:15,769 --> 00:32:17,646
using burn pits for over 100 years.
655
00:32:17,688 --> 00:32:20,107
But when the kind of waste
you were burning changed,
656
00:32:20,149 --> 00:32:22,401
your procedure for burning it
should have changed too.
657
00:32:22,443 --> 00:32:24,236
We know that now.
658
00:32:24,278 --> 00:32:26,655
That's why we transitioned to
using industrial incinerators.
659
00:32:26,697 --> 00:32:29,366
What's important right now
is winning the case
660
00:32:29,408 --> 00:32:30,743
and using this document
661
00:32:30,784 --> 00:32:33,954
to prove that Fallon
isn't some noble martyr.
662
00:32:33,996 --> 00:32:35,539
He's a trigger happy hothead
663
00:32:35,581 --> 00:32:38,083
who responds to conflict with violence,

00:32:38,125 --> 00:32:41,211
tumor or no tumor.

00:32:41,253 --> 00:32:43,297
We got him, Sam.
666
00:32:54,128 --> 00:32:58,007
That report details how Luke Fallon shot
and killed an unarmed...
667
00:32:58,032 --> 00:33:00,410
I know what it says.
668
00:33:00,640 --> 00:33:02,559
Why are you showing it to me?
669
00:33:04,936 --> 00:33:09,858
I know that you feel
a sense of duty to Luke,
670
00:33:09,900 --> 00:33:12,903
but he's a murderer
who belongs in prison.
671
00:33:12,944 --> 00:33:16,823
I'm sorry, Mr. Price, but that,
672
00:33:16,865 --> 00:33:18,617
it's a bunch of crap.
673
00:33:18,658 --> 00:33:20,660
I was there.
674
00:33:20,702 --> 00:33:23,288
It wasn't a routine patrol.
675
00:33:23,330 --> 00:33:27,084
Fallon was sent on a mission
to recover stolen ordnance.
676
00:33:27,125 --> 00:33:28,960
He was instructed to use deadly force
677
00:33:29,002 --> 00:33:30,462
because the insurgents were armed.
678
00:33:30,504 --> 00:33:32,005
But the intel was bad,
679
00:33:32,047 --> 00:33:34,091
even worse that
an innocent civilian was killed
680
00:33:34,132 --> 00:33:36,843
because they were wrong
about who took them.
681
00:33:36,885 --> 00:33:40,680
You're saying they just wholesale lied?
682
00:33:40,722 --> 00:33:43,183
Standard procedure.
683
00:33:43,225 --> 00:33:45,936
Disavow.
684
00:33:45,977 --> 00:33:48,772
Regardless of what that report says,
685
00:33:48,814 --> 00:33:51,650
Luke Fallon was just following orders.
686
00:33:57,406 --> 00:33:59,991
I don't feel comfortable
using that report.
687
00:34:00,033 --> 00:34:03,704
Because one soldier called
its veracity into question?
688
00:34:03,745 --> 00:34:05,414
Because I believe him.
689
00:34:05,455 --> 00:34:07,374
For all we know, Vincent Martinez
690
00:34:07,416 --> 00:34:09,126
could be the one lying,
691
00:34:09,167 --> 00:34:13,505
trying, yet again, to protect
his fellow unit member.
692
00:34:13,547 --> 00:34:16,633
I'm pretty good at telling
when someone is lying to me.
693
00:34:16,675 --> 00:34:18,677
Don't you think
it's a little too convenient
694
00:34:18,719 --> 00:34:20,929
that this perfect piece of evidence
695
00:34:20,971 --> 00:34:23,432
just fell from the sky
at exactly the right moment?

Gift horses, Ms. Maroun.
697
00:34:25,016 --> 00:34:27,060
The army failed
to protect Fallon back then,
698
00:34:27,102 --> 00:34:29,312
and now they're trying
to distract from that fact
699
00:34:29,354 --> 00:34:31,440
by impeaching his character with lies.
700
00:34:31,481 --> 00:34:32,899
And they want to use us to do it.
701
00:34:32,941 --> 00:34:35,944
The tragedy of his cancer diagnosis
702
00:34:35,986 --> 00:34:38,989
doesn't change the fact that
Luke Fallon committed murder.
703
00:34:39,031 --> 00:34:41,199
I agree, but getting a
guilty verdict with evidence...

that the report is a lie.

another way, be my guest.

710
00:34:56,923 --> 00:34:58,759
Are you pulling rank, Jack?
711
00:34:58,800 --> 00:35:02,262
Damn right I am!
712
00:35:02,304 --> 00:35:03,638
Understood.
713
00:35:14,733 --> 00:35:15,817
You find anything?
714
00:35:15,859 --> 00:35:16,985
Negative.
715
00:35:17,027 --> 00:35:18,403
You?
716
00:35:18,445 --> 00:35:19,738
Maybe.
717
00:35:19,780 --> 00:35:20,989
I've been looking through
718
00:35:21,031 --> 00:35:23,492
Alexander Lockett's
military personnel file,
719
00:35:23,533 --> 00:35:25,285
and I found something odd.
720
00:35:25,327 --> 00:35:28,288
The week before he retired from service,
721
00:35:28,330 --> 00:35:32,084
the army offered him a position
back here in New York.
722
00:35:32,125 --> 00:35:35,796
Cushy deal too. Title bump, good pay.
723
00:35:35,837 --> 00:35:38,131
But he turned it down.
724
00:35:38,173 --> 00:35:39,925
Maybe he'd already gotten a better offer
725
00:35:39,966 --> 00:35:41,760
in the private sector.
726
00:35:44,930 --> 00:35:47,307
No, I don't think so.
727
00:35:50,894 --> 00:35:54,606
Mr. Fallon, yesterday you testified
728
00:35:54,648 --> 00:35:58,694
that you never fired
your weapon outside of combat.
729
00:35:58,735 --> 00:36:01,321
Why did you make that distinction,
730
00:36:01,363 --> 00:36:05,325
between using a weapon
in combat versus not?
731
00:36:05,367 --> 00:36:10,122
Because in combat,
I'm operating under orders.
732
00:36:10,163 --> 00:36:14,251
So if you're ordered to shoot someone,
733
00:36:14,292 --> 00:36:17,838
you believe it changes your culpability
734
00:36:17,879 --> 00:36:19,297
in whatever the outcome is?
735
00:36:19,339 --> 00:36:21,675
Yes, because I don't have a choice.
736
00:36:21,717 --> 00:36:24,428
I'm following the chain of command.
737
00:36:24,469 --> 00:36:27,723
But you held
Alexander Lockett responsible
738
00:36:27,764 --> 00:36:29,433
for the negative impacts of the burn pit
739
00:36:29,474 --> 00:36:31,393
suffered by you
and your fellow soldiers.
740
00:36:31,435 --> 00:36:32,561
That's different.
741
00:36:32,602 --> 00:36:35,522
He was the one insisting
that they be used.
742
00:36:35,564 --> 00:36:37,774
He wasn't following orders.
743
00:36:37,816 --> 00:36:39,484
He was giving them.
744
00:36:43,739 --> 00:36:46,033
Your Honor, the prosecution
is entering into evidence
745
00:36:46,074 --> 00:36:48,160
People's Exhibit 27.
746
00:36:48,201 --> 00:36:52,330
This is the official paperwork
submitted by Alexander Lockett
747
00:36:52,372 --> 00:36:54,166
when he retired from the army.
748
00:36:54,207 --> 00:36:56,043
Were you aware why he left?
749
00:36:56,084 --> 00:36:58,712
No, it happened
after my tours were over.
750
00:36:58,754 --> 00:37:01,798
He submitted a written statement
751
00:37:01,840 --> 00:37:05,927
detailing his reasons for leaving.
752
00:37:05,969 --> 00:37:10,348

he would have given you the
apology you claim you wanted...

that he tried to honor
his duty to protect you.

a chance to talk, did you?
