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.

What's the latest on Detective Green?

Some improvement.

Are we going to be able
to get a statement anytime soon?

I don't know. His doctors say...

there's a chance he may not even
remember getting shot.

I really want to get whoever did this.

Yeah, we all want that.

I'm asking you to make
some room for me on this.

It's still my case.

And you're starting another trial next week.

Okay, I can handle both.

Kibre's freed up.

You know she'd get it done right.

- I don't want to...
- Let's be realistic.

All right, I'll bring her up to speed.

It was all routine.
There was no threats, no...

... reason to believe anything
like this would happen.

Detective Green was assigned
to pick up this witness,

Kenny Peluso, at Borgia's request.

They were ambushed on the way back to the car.

The killer walked out and fired three shots.
It's all there in my DD-5.

How is Detective Green?

It's hard to say.
He was back in the OR last night.

I'm sorry to hear that.

Well, the shooter was
definitely after Peluso.

He was hit by two rounds.
Green only once, even after he drew his gun.

Excuse me.

Detective, we're not done.

Yes, ma'am.

The DA's office is going to have
an active role in this investigation.

I want you to work with one of our guys:
Hector Salazar.

Yes, ma'am.

I agreed to keep you on this case because
your lieutenant called Jack McCoy and pushed.

But I'm concerned about your bias.

The defense is gonna look for any excuse
to find fault with your involvement.

Counselor, we can put together a solid case.

Are we done now, ma'am?

Well...

You have no idea the crap that
I'm going through because of you.

Hey, Joe.

- You get the guy?
- No, not yet.

As a matter of fact, I'm at a dead end.

The only witness I have is you.

So, sir...

... do you remember anything?

Hispanic guy...

Late 20s...

I barely got a chance to see him, but...

You're sure he was gunning for Peluso?

He rolled up and said, "Yo, Kenny."

Like he knew him?

Uh, I wish I could do better for you, man.

No, no, no, no.

You did good, I mean...
You did good.

Really, really, really good.
Really good.

All blues are on the department file,
and I'm working on a couple of leads.

You talk to Fontana yet?

The guy doesn't return my phone calls.

So I spoke to Van Buren.

He said that Green gave
a description of the shooter.

Hispanic male, 20s, guy said
"Yo, Kenny" before firing.

Sounds like he knew him.

Well, he arrested over 60 Hispanics working vice.

You know, minor stuff.
Nothing jumps out.

Did you talk to his Lieutenant yet?

Says Peluso was unofficially suspended
before he turned his badge in.

Guy took no pension.

That's weird.

Way I hear it,
guy got caught with a prostitute.

- So you gonna talk to I.A.B.?
- I.A.B. didn't investigate.

Special Victims did.

Her name was Jody Watson.

She was 15 years old.
Working as a stripper on a phony I.D.

Doesn't look like
she could've fooled anyone.

Except for Peluso. So he says.

He indulged himself with her on a weekly basis.

So how did Special Victims get involved?

Jody got busted by a couple of
cops grabbing a lunchtime show.

She wanted to beat the charge.
Implicated Peluso on a rape.

- You guys couldn't make a case?
- He was suspended pending our investigation.

I.A.B. got involved.
The girl took off.

Everything fell apart.

Look, I doubt Jody Watson
was this guy's first indiscretion.

He was a sleazy cop.

What about the shooter?
Any connection?

Peluso had plenty of friends.
Ask his fellow officers.

I got this. Good luck with the case.

- Thanks.
- My pleasure.

Kenny Peluso dead.
You made my day.

Me and Peluso were partners
about six months.

I couldn't wait to get out of Vice.

I wasn't lookin' for any side action.
You know the type.

Meanwhile Peluso was hitting
on any female that had a pulse.

First shift we ever worked,
he busted a hooker.

She paid him off with
a little favor in the alley.

I stayed in the car... read the paper.

I don't think shaking down
hookers is what got him killed.

- Maybe he shook down their pimps.
- I don't know.

Yeah, maybe.

We're looking to talk
to a male Hispanic in his 20s.

All right, you might wanna talk
to this guy Emiliano Ortiz.

He ran a handful of girls.
Nothing street.

It was all clubs and hotels.

I don't know what it was between 'em,

but it seemed like they mighta
been doing business together.

Look, I really gotta get back.

- Thanks.
- Anytime.

Hector Salazar, D.A.'s office.

Joe Fontana.

I think maybe we should check out
if Green can make a positive I.D. of Ortiz.

Yeah.

I'll take care of it. Excuse me.

We're in no hurry here.

Take your time, look it over carefully.

That could be him.

Good choice.

I'll call Van Buren, see if she has
a last known address on him.

He's two months out of Rikers.
His parole officer will probably know.

Who is he?

Emiliano Ortiz.
Pimp piece of crap.

Him and Peluso did some business.

Lieutenant Van Buren, please.

Joe,

I'm not sure he's the one.

Well, we'll make sure he's the right guy.

Lieutenant?

Was Green 100%?

- Close enough for me.
- We can't arrest this guy.

We got no P.C. It'd get tossed.

Look, we're gonna talk to this guy.

Either there's probable cause or there isn't.

In which case we'll move on.
Is that all right with you?

Now get over there.

Who is it?

Tenemos una pipa rota.

Hey, there's water coming into my room.

Abre la puerta.

Stay down and shut up!
Check this room out.

What the hell you doin'?
You can't just barge into my crib like this!

- It's clear.
- How's the whore business?

Why, you need a date?

Got some questions to ask you, Emilio.

I'm on parole, man.
I don't know nothin'!

You're not too sharp for a guy
who's on parole, you know that?

We haven't asked you anything yet.
How do you know what you don't know?

All I'm saying is I'm outta the game.

Outta the game?
Then you got nothing to worry about, right?

We're here on a murder investigation.

Yeah, and what that got to do with me?

Kenny Peluso's murder.

Kenny's dead, huh?

Well, I ain't seen that guy in a long time.

A New York City police detective got shot with him.

I'm a little upset about that.
Maybe you can tell.

I don't know anything about it, man.

Well, what do you think we did?
Just fall out of the sky?

You got identified.

That's why we're here.

Now I'm gonna ask you something.

And I'm gonna ask you one time,
and one time only.

Where's that gun you used in the hit, hmm?

It's under the mattress, man.

There's a ballistics match on the gun.

You're through.
We don't need you for anything more.

- Y que?
- Tu vida.

You're looking at life without
the possibility of parole.

Murder of a material witness.
Attempted murder of a police officer.

Unless you got something that can help you
get out from underneath all of this.

We're at that place, Emilio.

That's what this is about.

Okay, I can give you something.

I was paid to do it.

By who?

No, why don't you get your D.A. down here?

Then maybe I'll remember who.

Look, I read the little rat his rights.

This isn't his first dance.
He didn't ask for a lawyer.

I talked to Kibre.

I'm authorized to put a deal on the table.

But I'm not gonna do it without his attorney.

Counselor, he lawyers up,
we won't get another peep out of him.

And before we give up more than we lose,

let me go back there and talk to him,
keep working on him.

You push too hard, we risk having
the entire confession thrown out.

We still have the gun evidence.

Your case won't work on that alone.

And if the defense argues illegal search...

What illegal search?

Get Ortiz to our office.

I'll have his lawyer meet us there.

Peluso and me had a... what do you call it?
A reciprocal type of relationship, all right?

You know, he'd tip me the vice things
and I'd let him, get with my girls.

He was hanging out at a party
I had a while back.

And he met this guy I know.

This guy wanted to use my girls
for some special videos he made.

Pornographic videos?

Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But, like, weird stuff.

You know, like, kinky sex. B&D, rape fantasies,
like that type of thing, you know.

I said, no way.

Kenny and him hung out.

Kenny got off on that stuff.

You know cops.

So I come home from Rikers,
I needed money.

Kenny wasn't a cop no more.
Wasn't doin' nothing for me.

So this guy offered me
10 grants to kill him.

Why did this guy want him dead?

He said he'd killed a girl.

Kenny knew about it,
and was talking to the D.A.

You still haven't given us a name.

No, no, no, no. I talked.
Now you deal.

Full cooperation and testimony.

If his story checks out,
concurrent sentences, 25 to life.

That's the best I can do.

All right.

I want his name, Mr. Ortiz.

Shane Lucas.

What do we know about this fella Lucas?

Convictions for pandering, rape, and assault.

Released from Attica two years ago.

P aroled?

Served his entire sentence.

Since he got out, he's made
an attempt at legitimacy.

If you can call it that.

He produces and distributes pornography.

Extreme stuff,
like simulated rapes and assaults.

He sells it via mail order
in the back of fringe magazines.

I ran the company name by Justice.

They haven't red-flagged
it beyond obscenity concerns.

This guy pays his taxes.

So why kill Peluso?

Ortiz says Lucas killed a woman.
Peluso knew about it.

Any corroboration beyond Ortiz' testimony?

You mean like a dead body? Not yet.

Murder-for-hire's difficult to prove.

Well,

according to Ortiz, Lucas still
owes him money for the murder.

We can get him to meet with Lucas
and make him wear a wire.

Risky.

Suppose we put Salazar with Ortiz?

He'd be under constant surveillance.

We'd control the location
of the meeting and have police backup.

What would you need from me?

I just wanna make sure you've got my back.

You've got it. Get it done.

Stay on Ortiz.
Make sure he doesn't blow it.

Look, when you're in there, you keep
the conversation on the murder of Peluso, okay?

Thanks, Chris.
I've done this before.

So when do we move in on him?

When Lucas makes an admission of guilt.

Or he pays off Ortiz.

Hector, you okay with this?

Yeah. Let's do it.

We wired with omnidirectional mikes.

Wherever he goes, we got him...

I need a jury to hear every word.

We're good as long as no one
turns on a faucet or radio.

King-five. He's in the lobby,
heading for the elevators.

- Two minutes out.
- Copy that, King-five.

Game time.
He's on his way.

I don't know about this, man.
You know, Shane's kinda smart.

We got plenty of eyes on you, okay?

- Yeah, I just don't think it's going to work.
- You mess it up, it's your ass.

So why don't you focus on that?

We're outta here.

Here we go.

Shane? What's up, man?

You were supposed to call me two days ago.

Yeah, yeah, I know.
I'm just layin' low.

- Who the hell is this?
- It's cool, man.

That's Hector. Hector, meet Shane.

- I told you to come alone.
- Yeah, I know, but...

Just...

What is wrong with you?

Yo, my boy got concerns.

I'm just here to make sure he gets paid, man.

Yeah, man. That's it.
Not that I don't trust you.

Oye. �Que pasa con este?

Nothing, nothing. It's cool.
He's just checking it out.

So listen, I did the kill.
Now, where's my money?

I don't know what you're talking about.

Yeah, you do. That guy Peluso's
dead like you wanted.

He rushed it. He's not biting.

- You think he figured us out?
- Come on, Hector.

Are you strapped, Hector?

Hey, man, can we cut this gangster
crap out, please?

Let's just settle our business.

What the hell are you doing, man?

- You think I'm wired?
- Just pay him. Just...

Police! Drop the gun!
Drop it! Drop it!

Drop it! Drop it!

Yeah, get down.

You're 5,000 too short.

I want my lawyer.

Damn it.

We got nothing.

He's an ex-felon with a concealed weapon.

The other thing is, Tracy,
Lucas didn't bring the money.

I know.

He only had a gun.

Jumped too soon on the arrest.
You know that?

Danielle Blair. I'm representing Shane Lucas.

Serious crime. We're gonna have him
remanded at arraignment.

Your key witness is the person
responsible for the murder.

He'll testify that Lucas paid him to do it.

You have no corroboration.

Your client has plenty of dirt on him.

Convictions for rape and assault?

He hasn't had so much as a speeding
ticket in the last two years.

So he's a killer who drives like my mother?

They can't tie me to the murder.

At this point, they're weak.

Unless there is some way
to trace you to Peluso.

- Phone records? Bank Statements?
- Nothing.

Kenny was paid cash.

Anyone see you together?

Some girls who will be hard to track down.

Them and Emil.

Ortiz will be easy to discredit.

Which leaves your arrest.

That sting, no.

I said nothing.

Only thing that jams me up
is my gun in that cop's face.

We'll call the sting entrapment.

You felt threatened, so you protected yourself.

Against your better judgment
you brought a gun.

So we're looking to beat this?

Kibre's good.

She'll look under every rock until she finds
something she can use against you.

When do I get out of here?

Your bail is $1 million.

You own three apartment buildings.

The one in Greenpoint should cover it.

The other two, you sign over to me.

My counsel isn't cheap.

I'll give you the building in Astoria.

The one in Williamsburg you get
when I walk out of court.

Like an incentive.

Fair enough.

You always look this good
when you visit a place like this?

I do for some clients.

Listen,

until we post bail, expect the D.A.
to be monitoring your phone calls.

Be careful.

Like I've never been in here before.

I know how it works.

His name's Desmond McCarron.

Told the guard he had
information on Lucas.

It got passed up.

We quietly pulled him out
of population this morning.

What's he in for?

Forging a Vicodin scrip.

Who's he run with?

Runs with anybody.

Brotherhood, Netas, you name it.

As long as he can score.

Every jailhouse snitch I ever met
is an addict looking for a break.

No, you help me, I help you.

That's not how it works, Mr. McCarron.

You proffer the information,
I decide what it's worth.

I heard Lucas bragging about his case.

Keep going.

He's says he's gonna skate, right?

Except he's worried about some dude
talking to the cops.

He thinks this guy is
the only way he gets hung up.

What's the guys name?

I don't remember his name.

- But the guy's a freak.
- What do you mean, freak?

Lucas said the guy bought
some of his pornos.

But, you know, like, a repeat customer.
A pervert.

Now, that's Lucas's thing, right?

Did we pull the business records
when we searched Lucas's office?

Yeah. All the videos go out mail order.

I guess we could run down some names.

Mr. Phelps, I can understand
your embarrassment.

I don't know anything about
this Shane Lucas person you mentioned.

We checked the phone records.

We know that you spoke to Lucas
several times. We have the dates.

He must have been confirming
receipt of some packages he sent.

Kenny Peluso called you too.

I'm not familiar with that name.

Mr. Peluso was recently murdered, Mr. Phelps.

We believe by Shane Lucas.

A reliable informant says
you know why this went down.

Which makes you a material witness.

You can't be serious.

Were they extorting money?

Blackmailing you?

No.

Nothing like that.

If I cooperate, um,
will I have to go to jail?

Have you broken the law?

Oh, most certainly.

You'll see why Lucas was nervous
about Peluso talking to the police.

Phelps paid 50 grand for this.

Cash.

So Peluso was the go-between in the transaction?

Was he still a cop?

He had already left the police department
and was working a security job.

But he wasn't involved in McCoy's case yet.

So it's all fitting with
the timeline of the shooting.

I cued it up toward the end.

Oh, my God.

Are you sure this video is for real?

Our expert examined it.
He says it's legit.

And we're certain that Lucas was behind it?

We have corroboration.

Lucas had Peluso killed to keep him quiet.

So why aren't we indicting
for the murder of the girl too?

We don't have a body.

And we don't know where
the crime was committed.

And we can't prove beyond a reasonable
doubt that Lucas did the killing.

So you think you can get it in
as a prior bad act?

It goes to motive, and we can link it
to both Peluso and Lucas.

You identify the girl?

Stephanie Davis. She's on the books
for drug possession and prostitution.

Been missing for six months.

Her mother's driving down today from Ithaca.

Stephanie ran away when she was 16.

Almost two years ago.

Her father'd walked out on us, and I was...

... pulling overtime
just to cover the mortgage.

Ms. Davis, what happened to your daughter
had nothing to do with you.

It's not your fault.

She called...

... to say she wanted to come home.

That's when I found out
she was living with Lucas.

And she was on drugs.
I could tell.

After a while, I stopped expecting
to see her on the doorstep, you know?

You're absolutely sure...

... that it's her?

I called a few months ago looking for her.

I just felt like she needed me.

Lucas got on the phone and said that
she was never coming home again.

And now I know...

... because she's dead.

So they're saying I had Peluso
killed over the tape?

It's strong evidence.

If they'd had it at your arraignment,
you'd have never made bail.

You know, the girl.

Stephanie.

She gave the performance of her life.

I'm gonna fight to keep the tape out,
but I may not win.

Phelps is gonna testify for them?

He'll cut some kind of deal,
tie you and Peluso to the tape.

Will they believe him?

They might.

It's hard to make him look worse than
he does now for buying a video like that.

So where does that leave me?

Probably looking at a conviction.

You're honest. I like that.

You watch the tape?

Wasn't really my thing.

No?

So what is your thing?

It's Molineaux evidence that supports motive
in the murder of Kenneth Peluso.

It has clear probative value.

Videotape is compelling, Ms. Blair.

Compelling only in its prejudicial value.

How so?

Ms. Kibre's insinuating,
not proving, my client's culpability.

There's no proof he harmed the woman
on that tape or even knew her for that matter.

Let the jury assess its value.

It's bait-and-switch.

The murder depicted on that video has not met
any burden of proof beyond a reasonable doubt.

But the jury certainly will be
judging my client on that alleged crime.

Do you have someone that can tie
the defendant to the tape?

We do.

We also have testimony stating
that the defendant had Mr. Peluso killed...

... in order to silence him
about this woman's murder.

Ms. Blair, you'll have ample time
to cross-examine the Peoples' witness.

- Your Honor...
- I'll give limiting instructions,

but I'm going to let the jury see it.
Videotape's in.

I knew Peluso usually came home
from work around 4:00 a.m.

So I figured I'd get him then.

But I fell asleep in my car,
woke up at 8:00.

I thought I missed my shot.

And that's when you saw Mr. Peluso and
Detective Green come out of the house?

Yeah. Walked right up to Kenny and shot him.

I had to shoot the other guy.
I mean, he saw my face.

I didn't know he was a cop.

Why did the defendant
want Mr. Peluso killed?

Well, Lucas said Kenny knew
about a murder he'd done.

Some girl.

When Lucas found out
he was talking to the cops...

In fact, he was testifying
in another trial, an unrelated case.

Did the defendant mention this to you?

Lucas didn't know what it was about.
I mean, he was paranoid, you know?

He thought Kenny might tell them
about the murder.

So he offered me ten grand to kill him.

Nothing further.

Why did you kill him?

I thought you and Mr. Peluso were friends.

Friends? Nah.

He helped me out, I helped him out.
Strictly business.

Once he stopped being a cop,
he wasn't doing nothing for me.

So it was an easy decision.

- Objection.
- Sustained.

What did you do with the money
Mr. Lucas allegedly paid you?

Spent it.

He only paid half of what he owed me.

So the money's gone?

And we're just supposed to take your word
this payoff actually happened?

Did you attempt to collect the rest
of the money you say you were owed?

The cops set up a sting
to get Lucas to pay.

- They wanted to have it on tape...
- Objection!

Sustained.

Did Mr. Lucas pay you the money for the murder?

No.

Because he never actually
hired you to kill Kenny Peluso...

- Objection!
- Sustained.

No further questions.

Did the defendant tell you
where he'd obtained this video?

He said he'd made the film himself.

I was assured of its authenticity,

and I paid him quite well for it.

$50,000.

How was Kenneth Peluso involved?

Mr. Peluso delivered the videotape,
and I gave him the money.

And that was the only time I ever saw him.

Nothing further.

I think we've had enough for today.

Ms. Blair, you can cross-examine
this witness tomorrow.

Get dressed. We're going out.

Where?

Just do it.

It's 2:00 a.m.

You'll like it.

I promise.

What are we doing here?

Little surprise.

You like the unexpected, don't you?

What are you worried about, Danielle?

We're just meeting somebody.

Meeting who?

Apartment 2F.

Top of the stairs, end of the hall.

Where's your attorney, Mr. Lucas?

I don't know. She should be here.

Nice of you to show up, Counselor.
You're an hour late.

I'm sorry, Your Honor.
It won't happen again.

Would you like to cross-examine the witness?

Actually, I have no questions for Mr. Phelps.

In that case, the People rest, Your Honor.

Mr. Phelps, you can step down.

Should I assume, Ms. Blair, that
you're not ready to present the defense?

Actually, I am, Your Honor.

But I have a last-minute witness to add.

We object.

This person only came
to my attention last night.

This is unfair surprise.

She's a crucial witness
to my client's defense.

You'll have time to prepare, Ms. Kibre.

Call your witness.

The defense calls Stephanie Susan Davis.

Stephanie Susan Davis.

I love Shane Lucas.

He'd never hurt me.

So you felt safe participating in the film?

They showed me the fake blood
and the hood.

It was just acting.

Shane paid me almost $8,000.

Was Mr. Peluso involved?

He was there when we filmed.

Since he was a cop, he had to check
the gun to make sure it was okay.

So you knew Kenny Peluso?

Shane and Kenny were friends.

Shane said he wanted to bring
Kenny into the business.

It's real sad what happened to him.

Lucas was hiding her.

- Damn it!
- He set us up to find that tape.

I'm telling you we looked everywhere.

This is the kind of screw-up
that gets A.D.A.s fired, Kelly.

Don't put this all on me.
We both thought that tape was real.

I'm talking about both of us.

Call Salazar. In my office in an hour.

Well, our case is basically worthless.

Jeopardy's attached.
We don't convict him... that's it.

We're done.

So what's the real reason
Lucas had Peluso killed?

It could've been a business
conflict, personal beef...

... anything.

But think about the timing.

It happened after Peluso spoke to the police.

It still means that Lucas was scared
of something that he'd say.

And since Lucas obviously
didn't kill Stephanie Davis,

well, maybe he killed somebody else.

I'll reinterview people,
see if something pops.

Hey. Go to the one witness
you didn't talk to.

Stephanie Davis.

She was close with Lucas.
She knew Peluso.

Fine.

So you think a jury's gonna convict my client
on the testimony of a murderer?

Well, I'm sure you saw their faces
when they watched that video.

They despise you, Mr. Lucas.

Most of them probably made up their minds
right then that you're guilty.

That changed the second
Stephanie Davis walked into court.

Well, juries don't always rely
on facts alone to convict.

What does that mean?

You make pornographic material
depicting the murder of women.

It's not a big leap to think
you'd actually be capable of killing.

Mr. Ortiz's testimony
could seem very credible.

Let's cut the wishful thinking
and talk reality.

We'll plead to the criminal
solicitation charge, max three years.

It's a non-starter.
Man One, 15 years.

We're not here with our hand out.
We are offering you a deal.

I didn't have Kenny Peluso killed.

But you know this isn't about that.

Shane, stop.

Why don't you tell us what this is about?

You sit and judge what I do.

I'm a business man. I do what I do
because there's a demand for it.

Creeps like Phelps.

If people didn't want it, didn't crave it,
I'd go do something else.

Shane.

I hear your rap all the time.

You're just a repressed bitch.

Well...

You've certainly clarified
things for us, Mr. Lucas.

We'll let the jury decide.

Ms. Davis, your apartment is rented
under a different name.

It's a sublet.
Is that a crime?

No, it just makes you
a hard girl to find.

Doesn't look like you
leave the house much, either.

Shane doesn't want me
talking to you guys.

- Listen, Ms. Davis...
- I got it, I got it.

We don't have much time,
so I'm gonna cut right to it.

Now, your boyfriend...

pimp, dealer, whatever he is to you...

he killed somebody.

Kenny Peluso knew about it,

and that's why he got killed too.

- That's not true.
- I think you know it is.

Did he hurt another girl?

Someone like you?

- I don't know.
- Ms. Davis,

you ever go through
withdrawal in a jail cell?

They said she O.D.'d.

She was with Kenny.

He was afraid it would get back to him.

Shane just helped him out.

He said he dumped her outside
an emergency room.

- It wasn't murder!
- Who was she?

I didn't know her.

She was Peluso's girl.

I think her name was Jody.

All right, we found out that
Jody Watson was a 15-year-old girl

Peluso got busted with
when he was a cop.

And we think he asked Lucas
to help him out.

Lucas got rid of her.

The story about dumping her body
at a hospital doesn't check out.

Probably told Stephanie Davis that
just to cover for Jody's murder.

Okay.

Where's the body?

Well, we checked all the Jane Doe deaths
around the time of her disappearance.

- You find a murder?
- Not quite.

It's an accidental death.
Jane Doe died in a car fire.

Meadowlands in Jersey.

Could be someone covering for a murder.

Now we gotta exhume that body.

I'll get the order.

But do it fast.

Closing arguments are today.

Made the I.D. from dental records.

Hell of a guess.

So this is Jody Watson.

Can you confirm the cause
of death was murder?

Well, with the initial autopsy,

the tox screen was positive for drugs.
And the body was severely burned.

You can understand why they
weren't more thorough.

It just looked like a bad D.U.I.

- That's a bullet?
- Yeah.

You wouldn't have seen it
without an x-ray.

Entered through the base of the skull.

She was executed.

You know the caliber?

Yeah.

What do you think? .38?

What are the odds this bullet
matches the gun we found on Lucas?

Has the jury reached a verdict?

We have, Your Honor.

On the counts in the indictment,
how do you find?

We find the defendant...

... not guilty.

You just picked up
another piece of real estate.

Ladies and gentlemen of the jury,
thank you for your service.

Mr. Lucas,

you've been found not guilty of these charges.

You are hereby discharged by this court.

We're adjourned.

No surprise.

You should have expected this.

Like the unexpected, don't you?

Are you Shane Lucas?

Do I know you?

My name is Detective Joe Fontana.

And you're the son of a bitch
that got my partner shot.

Maybe you didn't hear the verdict.

I was acquitted.

Excuse us, we're leaving.

I don't think so, Counselor.
This is unfinished business.

Turn around and
put your hands behind your back.

What is this?
You have no grounds.

- Turn around.
- This is outright harassment.

Shane Lucas, you're under arrest
for the murder of Jody Watson.

- Who?
- What's the matter?

You didn't get her name before
you put a bullet in her skull?

Come on, we kept the car running for you.

You have the right to remain silent.

Anything you do say can and will
be used against you...

So I tracked down Jody Watson's folks.

Did you tell them?

Told them they get to bury their daughter.

Yeah.

She was just a messed up kid.

She helped us get Lucas.

Better than rotting in Potter's Field.

You gonna plead Lucas out this time?

Not on your life.

Jury already let him walk once.

That's on me.

Well, you can't retry him
for killing Peluso again.

No...

But I can still make him answer for it.
