00:00:09,264 --> 00:00:12,961
the people are represented by two
separate yet equally important groups,

00:00:13,167 --> 00:00:14,998
the police
who investigate crime
4
00:00:15,103 --> 00:00:17,765
and the district attorneys
who prosecute the offenders.
5
00:00:17,939 --> 00:00:19,236
These are their stories.
6
00:00:20,508 --> 00:00:23,967
Hey, look, you want a donation
to your favorite charity, fine.
7
00:00:24,346 --> 00:00:25,472
Just tell me what
it's gonna cost.
8
00:00:25,547 --> 00:00:28,948
You'd rather pay a kickback than to
put a black man on your payroll.
9
00:00:29,118 --> 00:00:30,551
Let me tell you,
my white brother,
10
00:00:30,619 --> 00:00:32,109
you do business
in this community,
11
00:00:32,187 --> 00:00:34,087
you hire people
from this community.
12
00:00:34,356 --> 00:00:35,584
The hell with that.
13
00:00:35,658 --> 00:00:37,626
Bobby, we're here
to make this happen.
14
00:00:37,693 --> 00:00:38,853
It ain't happening.
15
00:00:45,668 --> 00:00:48,866
Just think what you're doing, Books,
and who you're doing it to.
16
00:00:54,644 --> 00:00:56,134

It's like a damn
sauna in there.
19
00:01:01,918 --> 00:01:03,249
What happened is not good, Leo.
20
00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:05,151
Books is gonna tank
the whole project.
21
00:01:05,455 --> 00:01:07,184
Hey, how about calling us
a car service, huh?

on top of him when we got here.

getting paid to do.

This Books' car?

00:01:36,320 --> 00:01:37,514
Belongs to his organization.

00:01:37,588 --> 00:01:41,285
See the decal? AAC,
African American Congress.
34
00:01:41,392 --> 00:01:42,689
All their cars have them.
35
00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:43,989
Where was Books coming from?
36
00:01:44,162 --> 00:01:45,629
Around the corner. Viena's.

Miss Samuels, I'm
Detective Lennie Briscoe.
40
00:01:54,373 --> 00:01:57,365
You witnessed an argument
involving Mr. Books?
41
00:01:57,676 --> 00:01:58,836
With three white men.
42
00:01:59,244 --> 00:02:00,905
He was having dinner with them,
43
00:02:00,979 --> 00:02:02,879
and one of them got
mad and left early.
44
00:02:03,115 --> 00:02:04,912
Any idea who they were?
No.
45
00:02:05,283 --> 00:02:07,274
The short one offered
me his business card.
46
00:02:07,352 --> 00:02:09,445
He said he could
fix our ventilation.
47
00:02:09,654 --> 00:02:11,680
You have the card?
(CHUCKLES) No.
48
00:02:12,625 --> 00:02:15,059
I told him we only use people
from the neighborhood.
49
00:02:15,928 --> 00:02:17,327
Well, we'd like you
to try and describe
50
00:02:17,397 --> 00:02:19,422
these three men to a sketch

I came around the corner,

I heard a car hauling
ass toward Amsterdam.
55
00:02:28,808 --> 00:02:30,935
What about the two white
guys who called 911?
56
00:02:31,244 --> 00:02:34,407
They were over there.
I don't know where they are.
57
00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:36,072
Okay, thanks.
Look, just give your number
58
00:02:36,149 --> 00:02:37,275
to the officer over
there, all right?
59
00:02:37,350 --> 00:02:39,079
All right.
This is cold, man.
60
00:02:39,153 --> 00:02:41,348
Mr. Books was down for his people.
Yeah.
61
00:02:42,289 --> 00:02:44,052
Right now, his people
look a little down.

00:02:49,596 --> 00:02:51,188
Yeah. Now we know why.

00:03:40,082 --> 00:03:42,380
Books is in ICU

Do we have any good news
for the Commissioner?

00:03:44,753 --> 00:03:46,550
Does no news still count?
68
00:03:46,622 --> 00:03:48,590
We got no witnesses,
no prints on the shells...
69
00:03:48,657 --> 00:03:50,386
Let's go with
the obvious suspects.
70
00:03:50,459 --> 00:03:53,121
Books' people forward his
hate mail to our bias unit.

The man loves controversy.
73
00:03:56,899 --> 00:03:58,059
A lot of his pen pals blame him
74
00:03:58,134 --> 00:04:00,125
for his predecessor's
murder four years ago.
75
00:04:00,302 --> 00:04:01,667
Yeah. Marcus Tate.
76
00:04:01,737 --> 00:04:04,070
Mike Logan worked on that case.
It's still open.
77
00:04:04,141 --> 00:04:05,335
Not according to these people.
78
00:04:05,408 --> 00:04:07,205
They claim Books
staged a palace coup.
79
00:04:07,277 --> 00:04:11,873
Yeah, with Elvis and Bigfoot.
Pass these off to Profaci and Gia.
80
00:04:12,048 --> 00:04:14,915
In the meantime, find out who
knew Books would be at Viena's.
81
00:04:14,985 --> 00:04:18,512
Oh, right. That means talking to
the friendly folks at the AAC.
82
00:04:18,588 --> 00:04:19,680
Is that a problem?
83
00:04:19,756 --> 00:04:22,725
I've read their literature.
They just love white, middle-aged cops.
84
00:04:24,928 --> 00:04:28,591
Mr. Books lectured at the
Historical Society at 7:30.
85
00:04:28,665 --> 00:04:30,759
I don't know what his
plans were after that.
86
00:04:30,835 --> 00:04:33,599
You're his executive assistant.
Isn't it your job to know?
87
00:04:34,505 --> 00:04:36,973
It's not my job to take
attitude from public servants.
88
00:04:37,041 --> 00:04:39,168
We're all a little
jumpy, Miss Watkins.
89
00:04:39,243 --> 00:04:40,972
We don't like this shooting
any more than you do.
90
00:04:41,045 --> 00:04:43,013
Mr. Books keeps
his schedule loose
91
00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:45,548
precisely to avoid
what happened last night.
92
00:04:45,616 --> 00:04:49,143
Well, last night he went to
dinner with these three men.
93
00:04:49,220 --> 00:04:51,051
Any idea who they are?
I don't know.
94
00:04:51,122 --> 00:04:53,113
You'll have to wait
and ask Mr. Books.
95
00:04:53,191 --> 00:04:55,625
Maybe if we take a look at his
desk, see what he was working on.
96
00:04:55,693 --> 00:04:58,458
If you think I'm going to let
two cops search his desk...
97
00:04:58,530 --> 00:05:00,225
If we think you're hiding evidence,
98
00:05:00,299 --> 00:05:02,096
you're gonna have
50 cops up here.
99
00:05:04,970 --> 00:05:06,437

his current projects.

Building contracts.
AAC going into the construction business?
103
00:05:16,048 --> 00:05:18,710
Mr. Books is pushing
for minority hiring.
104
00:05:18,784 --> 00:05:20,775
Yeah, that always makes
contractors happy.
105
00:05:21,687 --> 00:05:24,087
"Hudson Airworks,
Incorporated."
106
00:05:25,592 --> 00:05:28,254
The guy who wanted to fix the
restaurant's ventilation.
107
00:05:28,861 --> 00:05:33,321
I've heard of affirmative action before.
50% quota. Come on.
108
00:05:33,700 --> 00:05:36,362
We understand one of your dinner
companions was pretty upset about it.
109
00:05:37,136 --> 00:05:39,229
I don't know what you're
talking about. Right.
110
00:05:39,305 --> 00:05:40,897
You were the only one who
didn't hear him yelling?
111
00:05:40,974 --> 00:05:42,566
Who is it,
Mr. Robertson?
112
00:05:45,812 --> 00:05:49,043
Robert Falco.
Falco Structural Steel.
113
00:05:49,249 --> 00:05:51,046
Books was putting him
in a jam with the unions.
114
00:05:51,150 --> 00:05:52,209
How big a jam?
115
00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:57,523
Last year, Falco borrowed
three-quarters of a million dollars
116
00:05:57,758 --> 00:06:00,022
from the pension
fund at Local 838.
117
00:06:00,227 --> 00:06:02,286
Falco's having a hard
time paying them back.
118
00:06:03,130 --> 00:06:04,620
He's been underbid on
a couple of projects.
119
00:06:04,698 --> 00:06:07,724
And the union is leaning on him
hard to make good on the loan.
120
00:06:07,801 --> 00:06:10,167
And the Harlem contract would
solve all his problems.
121
00:06:10,237 --> 00:06:14,105
Yeah, sure, as long as everyone
in Local 838 is on his payroll.
122
00:06:14,708 --> 00:06:19,042
And the union don't have a minority
hiring program, you know what I mean?
123
00:06:20,115 --> 00:06:22,049
After you left the restaurant,
where did you go?
124
00:06:22,651 --> 00:06:25,017
Eddie and me drove to
Cardi's for a nightcap.
125
00:06:25,220 --> 00:06:27,814
I needed a glass of Barolo to
wash down the collard greens.
126
00:06:27,889 --> 00:06:29,379
Who's Eddie?
Eddie Page.
127
00:06:29,491 --> 00:06:31,482
He's married to a cousin.
He drives me around.
128
00:06:32,060 --> 00:06:33,550
What time did
you get to Cardi's?
129
00:06:34,296 --> 00:06:36,264
20 minutes after we
left the restaurant.
130
00:06:37,499 --> 00:06:39,433
Hey, guys, am I a
suspect here or what?
131
00:06:39,501 --> 00:06:40,729
Well, we couldn't
help but notice
132
00:06:40,802 --> 00:06:42,167
how getting Books
out of the way
133
00:06:42,270 --> 00:06:44,602
helps you square
things with Local 838.
134
00:06:45,907 --> 00:06:49,435
Oh, sure. I chew out Books in front
of a restaurant full of people,
135
00:06:49,512 --> 00:06:51,446
then I clip him an hour later.
That's subtle.
136
00:06:51,514 --> 00:06:53,744
In your line of work,
subtlety isn't required.
137
00:06:54,483 --> 00:06:56,951
You want subtle?
Get out of here.
138
00:06:57,453 --> 00:06:59,614
Next time you want to talk
to me, call my lawyer.
139
00:07:01,223 --> 00:07:02,349
Last night?
140
00:07:02,958 --> 00:07:05,017
Yeah, he was here.
What time did he come in?
141
00:07:05,094 --> 00:07:06,459
You see a clock on the wall?
142
00:07:06,529 --> 00:07:08,690
Maybe one of your patrons
looked at his watch.
143
00:07:08,998 --> 00:07:10,761
You know, we can post
a couple of uniforms outside
144
00:07:10,833 --> 00:07:12,198
and ask everyone who comes in.
145
00:07:16,540 --> 00:07:20,032
Falco came in around 10:30.
He sat at the bar.
146
00:07:20,610 --> 00:07:22,077
CURTIS: How long
did he stay?
147
00:07:22,145 --> 00:07:23,544
He was waiting for his driver.
148
00:07:24,281 --> 00:07:26,272
Eddie showed up
45 minutes later.
149
00:07:26,350 --> 00:07:27,840
What? Eddie was
running an errand?
150
00:07:28,585 --> 00:07:29,916
Falco didn't say.
151
00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:32,351
Do you happen to know
what they talked about?
152
00:07:32,589 --> 00:07:35,387
(SCOFFS) Yeah, right.
Eavesdropping on your customers.
153
00:07:35,559 --> 00:07:37,925
They teach you that
at bartender's school.
154
00:07:40,397 --> 00:07:43,595
We went to Eddie's place in Bay Ridge.
He wasn't home.
155
00:07:43,801 --> 00:07:45,063
His super said
he might've taken
156
00:07:45,136 --> 00:07:46,626
a couple days off
to go gambling.
157
00:07:46,871 --> 00:07:49,135
Yeah. We faxed his
photo and particulars
158
00:07:49,207 --> 00:07:51,198
to Foxwoods and Atlantic City.
159
00:07:51,409 --> 00:07:54,810
So, he's got 45 minutes unaccounted for.
What else?
160
00:07:54,879 --> 00:07:56,346
Well, he's been
upstate a few times.
161
00:07:56,414 --> 00:07:59,611
Truck hijack, trafficking in
stolen goods, weapons possession.
162
00:07:59,884 --> 00:08:04,548
BRISCOE: And state troopers found him in
possession of a.25 caliber in his belt,
163
00:08:04,689 --> 00:08:06,589
and a.38 in
the glove compartment.
164
00:08:06,858 --> 00:08:08,519
Sounds promising.
Dig a little more,
165
00:08:08,593 --> 00:08:10,459
you get enough for
an arrest warrant.
166
00:08:10,529 --> 00:08:11,962
(PHONE RINGING)
167
00:08:12,030 --> 00:08:14,590
Briscoe. Yeah?
168
00:08:15,300 --> 00:08:16,494
Until what time?
169
00:08:17,336 --> 00:08:18,564
Okay. Thank you.

Books is awake
and ready to talk.
171
00:08:25,477 --> 00:08:27,377
BOOKS: Otis opened the door.
172
00:08:29,481 --> 00:08:30,812
I heard a shot.
173
00:08:32,885 --> 00:08:34,512
Then Otis pushed me down.
174
00:08:34,987 --> 00:08:37,353
CURTIS: Did you see who
did the shooting? No.
175
00:08:39,492 --> 00:08:41,221
Otis was on top of me.
176
00:08:42,595 --> 00:08:43,755
He saved my life.
177

Do you have any suspects?
178
00:08:48,034 --> 00:08:49,592
We're looking at a few people.

We understand you had words
with a Robert Falco?
180
00:08:53,039 --> 00:08:54,063
Yes.
181
00:08:55,275 --> 00:08:56,970
Is he one of those people?
182
00:08:57,110 --> 00:08:58,099
Should he be?
183

(SIGHS SOFTLY)

Mr. Falco's beholden
to powerful interests.
185
00:09:06,887 --> 00:09:08,821
I was a fly in his ointment.
186
00:09:10,891 --> 00:09:13,826
Detectives, it's time for Mr.
Books to rest. Sure.
187
00:09:15,095 --> 00:09:17,256
Mr. Books, if you think of
anything else, let us know.

00:09:19,233 --> 00:09:21,997
The doctors say I can go
home in a couple of days.
189

I'll be watching you.
We'll all be watching you.

This time we want results.

I switched to homicide.

usually mouth off to you.

Hey, he wants to look over
my shoulder, be my guest.
194
00:09:40,789 --> 00:09:42,188
Yeah, this is Curtis.
You beeped me?
195
00:09:43,592 --> 00:09:44,991
Uh-huh.

00:09:45,193 --> 00:09:47,218
All right. Tell them to stay with him.
Thanks.

Local cops are sitting on him.

Briscoe, New York City Police.

New York City. Come on, guys.
I came down here to relax.
211
00:10:15,791 --> 00:10:17,383
Well, relax by answering
a few questions.
212
00:10:17,827 --> 00:10:18,885
Tuesday night.
213
00:10:18,961 --> 00:10:21,225
Your boss was drinking alone at Cardi's.
Where were you?
214
00:10:22,231 --> 00:10:24,426
I don't remember.
What's so special about Tuesday night?
215
00:10:24,500 --> 00:10:28,062
Roland Books and his bodyguard were
shot outside Viena's that night.
216
00:10:28,705 --> 00:10:30,502
Why, and I'm the guy?
You gotta be kidding me.
217
00:10:30,574 --> 00:10:33,304
There's an ADA drafting
a search warrant
218

for your apartment in
Bay Ridge as we speak.
219

Okay, stop right there.
220
00:10:38,015 --> 00:10:40,575
I ain't got nothing in there as
it relates to this Books thing.
221
00:10:40,651 --> 00:10:44,018
So tell us a story we like, and maybe
we'll hold off on the warrant.
222
00:10:45,622 --> 00:10:47,385
When Bobby was having
dinner with Books,
223
00:10:47,457 --> 00:10:49,652
I caught this black
kid staring into our car.
224
00:10:49,726 --> 00:10:51,489
He was looking to
boost the stereo.
225
00:10:51,662 --> 00:10:54,631
He already had a backpack full
of Alpines and Blaupunkts.
226
00:10:54,798 --> 00:10:55,788
Yeah, so?
227
00:10:55,867 --> 00:10:58,461
So, he said he had another
20 units to unload,
228
00:10:58,770 --> 00:11:01,204
so I told him to meet me outside
the Guggenheim at 11:00.
229
00:11:01,272 --> 00:11:02,637
I dropped Bobby off at Cardi's,
230
00:11:02,707 --> 00:11:03,867
but then the kid never showed.
231
00:11:03,942 --> 00:11:05,569

232
00:11:05,643 --> 00:11:07,611

gets back to Bobby, okay?

I was busy committing
another crime.

a lot of white mos.
248
00:11:48,821 --> 00:11:51,222
This one said you were supposed to
meet him in front of the Guggenheim.
249
00:11:51,291 --> 00:11:53,623
Yeah. But I got clicked
before I got down there.
250
00:11:53,693 --> 00:11:55,092

outside of Viena's
251
00:11:55,161 --> 00:11:57,322
just before Roland
Books got shot, right?
252
00:11:57,631 --> 00:11:59,496
Yeah.
You see anybody hanging around?
253
00:11:59,666 --> 00:12:00,690
Not on the street.
254
00:12:00,934 --> 00:12:03,664
I saw somebody in a car, about a
half a block from the corner.
255
00:12:03,903 --> 00:12:05,768
What were they doing?
Just sitting.
256
00:12:06,106 --> 00:12:07,835
I mean, I only saw
them from behind.
257
00:12:07,907 --> 00:12:10,034
I didn't get any kind of look,
you know what I'm saying?
258
00:12:10,543 --> 00:12:11,840
Can you describe the car?

Mr. Books' people.

How do you know that?
262
00:12:15,715 --> 00:12:18,514
I saw their sticker
in the window. AAC.

You see that on a car,
you stay away.

You don't want
one of those people

(LAUGHING SARCASTICALLY)
269
00:12:33,801 --> 00:12:37,032
You know, I don't remember seeing a blue
Ford on that street after the shooting.
270
00:12:37,104 --> 00:12:39,595
A blue Ford
belonging to the AAC.
271

Unless it was Elvis in the car.
273
00:12:47,616 --> 00:12:49,174
We lease 26 cars.
274
00:12:49,251 --> 00:12:52,584
Five Town Cars, the rest
are Tauruses and Tempos.
275
00:12:52,654 --> 00:12:53,848
14 of them are blue.
276
00:12:54,056 --> 00:12:57,082
We'll need the names and addresses
of the people with those cars.
277
00:12:57,159 --> 00:12:59,821
But you're talking about
the entire executive board.
278
00:12:59,995 --> 00:13:01,087
Are we all suspects?
279
00:13:01,196 --> 00:13:03,357
You know, Roland Books
is your leader, not ours.
280
00:13:03,598 --> 00:13:06,089
So why does it seem we care more
about who shot him than you do?
281
00:13:13,710 --> 00:13:16,508
For your information,
I was home with my family
282
00:13:16,579 --> 00:13:18,809
in Saddle Brook
Tuesday all night.
283
00:13:24,520 --> 00:13:27,080
Satima Tate? She related
to Mr. Books' predecessor?
284
00:13:27,156 --> 00:13:30,216
Yes. She's
Marcus Tate's widow.
285
00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:33,729
She serves as the honorary
chairperson of our women's group.
286
00:13:34,197 --> 00:13:35,926
And she drives a blue Taurus.
287
00:13:39,902 --> 00:13:41,302
SATIMA: I'm not sure
I can help you.
288
00:13:42,439 --> 00:13:46,170
I'm no longer as involved as I'd like
to be in my husband's organization.
289
00:13:47,010 --> 00:13:49,069
Well, where were you
Tuesday night?
290
00:13:50,013 --> 00:13:54,450
I played bridge at
the Third Baptist Church.
291
00:13:54,551 --> 00:13:59,352
Same as every Tuesday night.
Why do you ask?
292
00:13:59,690 --> 00:14:02,659
A blue car similar to
yours with an AAC decal
293
00:14:02,726 --> 00:14:05,160
was seen in the area just before Mr.
Books was shot.
294
00:14:05,529 --> 00:14:08,829
And you see me driving around
Harlem with a smoking gun?
295
00:14:09,334 --> 00:14:12,064
A lot of people hold Books responsible
for your husband's death.
296
00:14:13,338 --> 00:14:15,898
So did I at one time.
But I was wrong.
297
00:14:17,208 --> 00:14:18,971
We've buried the hatchet.
298
00:14:19,544 --> 00:14:22,570
Did you drive your car to the
bridge game Tuesday night?
299
00:14:22,647 --> 00:14:23,909
Yes, I did.
300
00:14:23,982 --> 00:14:25,950
BRISCOE: If you don't mind, we'd
like to have a look at the car.
301
00:14:27,719 --> 00:14:29,778
Well, my son Huey keeps it.
302
00:14:30,255 --> 00:14:32,951
So, he had the car
Tuesday night?
303
00:14:33,024 --> 00:14:35,254
Yes, but he was home.
304
00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:39,658
He called right after 11:00.
He heard on the news about Roland.
305
00:14:40,232 --> 00:14:42,530
I went to a movie across the
street from Lincoln Center.
306
00:14:42,601 --> 00:14:45,536
It was with that Chinese
actress, Gong Li.
307
00:14:45,604 --> 00:14:47,299
You go by yourself?
308
00:14:47,373 --> 00:14:49,170
I don't need company
to sit in the dark.
309
00:14:49,408 --> 00:14:50,705
Did you take your mother's car?
310
00:14:51,343 --> 00:14:53,573
I took the subway.
I don't like to drive in the city.
311
00:14:53,846 --> 00:14:55,609
So, the car stays where?
312
00:14:55,781 --> 00:14:58,272
In a parking garage down
the block from my house.
313
00:14:59,084 --> 00:15:01,712
I haven't used it since I went
up to Litchfield last month.
314
00:15:02,421 --> 00:15:04,982
You know, your mother lied to us at
first about your having the car.
315
00:15:05,058 --> 00:15:07,151
Maybe she suspects you had
something to do with the shooting.
316
00:15:07,427 --> 00:15:10,055
I bet there's a lot more your
mother hasn't told us, right, Huey?
317
00:15:10,997 --> 00:15:12,828
Leave my mother alone.
That's up to you.
318
00:15:14,935 --> 00:15:16,163
I have to go back to work.
319
00:15:17,871 --> 00:15:19,270
Is there any other way in?
320
00:15:19,406 --> 00:15:21,135
There's a pedestrian
entrance on the other side.
321
00:15:22,209 --> 00:15:24,302
The mud in the tire treads isn't dry.
322
00:15:24,411 --> 00:15:26,242
This car's been out in
the last couple of days.
323
00:15:26,379 --> 00:15:28,779
Mr. Dobbs, does Mr. Tate
always park like this?
324
00:15:29,916 --> 00:15:31,782
No, he's usually
plumb in the middle.
325
00:15:31,853 --> 00:15:33,718
Except when he's in a hurry.
Hmm.
326
00:15:33,788 --> 00:15:34,982
All right. Thanks.
327
00:15:35,389 --> 00:15:38,085
The Chinese movie was
playing at a multiplex.
328
00:15:38,159 --> 00:15:42,095
Six screens. 1,600 tickets.
Nobody remembers seeing him.
329
00:15:42,163 --> 00:15:44,563
Well, how about
the other 13 blue cars?
330
00:15:44,632 --> 00:15:46,122
All those alibis checked out.
331
00:15:46,467 --> 00:15:49,493
Well, if Books' secretary didn't even
know he was gonna be at Viena's,
332
00:15:49,570 --> 00:15:50,730
how would Huey Tate?
333
00:15:50,872 --> 00:15:53,033
Books' lecture at
the Historical Society
334
00:15:53,107 --> 00:15:54,506
was announced in
all the papers.
335
00:15:54,575 --> 00:15:55,837
Huey could've followed
him from there.
336
00:15:55,910 --> 00:15:57,844
So could everyone
else at the lecture.
337
00:15:57,912 --> 00:15:59,744
CURTIS: LT, he lied
about his car.
338
00:15:59,815 --> 00:16:02,249
Damp mud?
Did you check his aura too?
339
00:16:02,384 --> 00:16:05,751
Hey, we checked the computer.
For what it's worth, he has a jacket.
340
00:16:05,821 --> 00:16:08,915
Criminal mischief, disorderly
conduct, trespass.
341
00:16:08,991 --> 00:16:13,519
In 1991, he broke into the South
African consulate with a friend,
342
00:16:13,829 --> 00:16:16,923
chained himself to a desk
to protest apartheid.
343
00:16:16,999 --> 00:16:19,229
Hey, at 18, I'd do the same.

acts like he did it.

any references.

arrested with. Angela Roney?

That was like five years ago.
I mean, we were in high school.

Now you can leave.

Besides the consulate
arrest, Roney's clean.
361
00:17:06,016 --> 00:17:08,143
She's been on the road.
I checked the national system.

a check in Tampa.

a friend named Thelma.

The bounced check, is
there a bench warrant?
368
00:17:21,031 --> 00:17:22,659
Yeah. But it's like
a $50 fine, Lennie.
369
00:17:22,734 --> 00:17:24,361
Hey, it's enough
to get her attention.
370
00:17:27,639 --> 00:17:32,269
Angela left two hours ago.
Suddenly she's very popular.
371
00:17:32,410 --> 00:17:34,310
So we're not the only
ones looking for her?
372
00:17:34,579 --> 00:17:36,570
She found two cops
with nicer suits.
373
00:17:36,648 --> 00:17:39,082
I doubt that.
They show you any ID?
374

I made them before
they flipped their wallets.

One of their

They put Angela under arrest?
378
00:17:47,692 --> 00:17:50,787
I don't think so. She had a big
grin on her face when she left.
379
00:17:52,498 --> 00:17:54,193
After you contacted Miss Roney,
380
00:17:54,266 --> 00:17:57,633
she knew she could no longer avoid
being involved in this case.
381
00:17:58,204 --> 00:18:00,866
She was extremely concerned
about her safety.

That's when she called us.

She has evidence
against Huey Tate.

His father still has followers
in the black community.

it was this morning

out of the blue.

Why did you tape
the conversation?
414

Well, I ran into Huey
a couple of months ago.
415
00:19:26,361 --> 00:19:28,761
And I hadn't seen him
for about four years.
416

talking about killing people.

Here's what we
found in the car.
505
00:23:35,386 --> 00:23:39,618
Hiking the Adirondacks. Rock Climber's
Field Guide. A regular boy scout.
506
00:23:39,690 --> 00:23:40,884
He believes in being prepared.
507
00:23:40,958 --> 00:23:43,392
Here's a pamphlet on
self-defense classes.
508
00:23:44,128 --> 00:23:46,153
I wonder if they include
small-arms training?
509
00:23:49,201 --> 00:23:51,897
Huey teaches self-defense
twice a week.
510
00:23:51,970 --> 00:23:53,961
He started as a student
four years ago.
511
00:23:54,206 --> 00:23:57,300
When our instructor moved away
last year, he took over the class.
512
00:23:57,809 --> 00:23:59,140
Are guns part of
the curriculum?
513
00:23:59,211 --> 00:24:01,236
No. Just hands,
feet, knees.
514
00:24:01,313 --> 00:24:02,905
We're not the Harlem militia.
515
00:24:03,949 --> 00:24:06,474
Does he ever talk about his
father's death or Roland Books?
516
00:24:06,785 --> 00:24:08,844
It's obvious
he misses his father.
517
00:24:08,987 --> 00:24:11,922
Whatever he thinks about Mr.
Books he keeps to himself.
518
00:24:12,124 --> 00:24:14,524
It's hard for me to
believe he shot him.
519
00:24:14,793 --> 00:24:16,261
But not impossible?
520
00:24:16,429 --> 00:24:17,987
You don't think we're
trying to frame him?
521
00:24:18,064 --> 00:24:21,090
If you were, you wouldn't be
here looking for evidence.
522
00:24:22,502 --> 00:24:24,026
Do you know if he owns a gun?
523
00:24:25,405 --> 00:24:27,202
Ms. Scruggs, I need you
to tell me what you know.
524
00:24:27,573 --> 00:24:28,904
(SIGHS)
525
00:24:28,975 --> 00:24:31,034
Huey was always concerned
about his safety.
526
00:24:31,577 --> 00:24:35,035
He told me he carried a gun.
I even saw it in his backpack once.
527
00:24:36,482 --> 00:24:40,418
ROSS: Why can't we find the gun, Mr.
Tate? Was it stolen?
528
00:24:41,454 --> 00:24:42,854
Did you leave it on the bus?
529
00:24:43,457 --> 00:24:45,448
How about your witness
is imagining things?
530
00:24:45,859 --> 00:24:48,350
We didn't imagine the
gunshot residue on the car.
531
00:24:48,562 --> 00:24:50,689
We're prepared to
be lenient, Mr. Tate.
532
00:24:51,498 --> 00:24:53,898
You plead to manslaughter
in the first degree,
533
00:24:53,967 --> 00:24:56,629
you serve eight and
a third to 25 years.
534
00:24:56,937 --> 00:24:58,336
DUBOIS: We're not interested.
535
00:24:58,872 --> 00:25:00,305
The offer is final.
536
00:25:00,374 --> 00:25:01,636
The offer is irrelevant.
537
00:25:02,109 --> 00:25:03,872
My client was entrapped.
538
00:25:03,944 --> 00:25:06,412
Your Miss Roney violated
his due process rights.
539
00:25:06,647 --> 00:25:08,581
So now you're saying
he committed the crime?
540
00:25:08,682 --> 00:25:10,412
We're not admitting
to anything.
541
00:25:10,485 --> 00:25:12,544
But if you insist
on prosecuting him,
542
00:25:13,154 --> 00:25:14,712
we are going to
plead entrapment.
543
00:25:14,856 --> 00:25:16,756
First of all, whatever
Angela Roney did,
544
00:25:16,858 --> 00:25:18,325
she was acting as
a private citizen,
545
00:25:18,393 --> 00:25:19,985
not as an agent of the police.
546
00:25:20,695 --> 00:25:22,822
Didn't your FBI
friends tell you?
547
00:25:24,032 --> 00:25:27,399
Two years ago, she testified
as a confidential informant
548
00:25:28,603 --> 00:25:32,130
in a Federal trial of four
cult members in Colorado.
549
00:25:33,241 --> 00:25:37,678
So, once a government snitch,
always a government snitch.
550
00:25:37,745 --> 00:25:39,509
I doubt a jury
sees it that way.
551
00:25:39,715 --> 00:25:41,615
This case is never
gonna make it to a jury.
552
00:25:41,684 --> 00:25:42,776
(CHUCKLING)
553
00:25:42,852 --> 00:25:46,253
I'm moving for an Isaacson
hearing and a dismissal.
554
00:25:47,156 --> 00:25:48,180
Come on, Huey.
555
00:25:55,097 --> 00:25:57,691
I didn't do it, but if
I did, she made me.
556
00:25:57,766 --> 00:25:59,859
People v. Butts.
It's a brilliant strategy.
557
00:26:02,071 --> 00:26:04,437
I wonder what else we haven't
been told about Miss Roney?
558
00:26:06,476 --> 00:26:07,966
We didn't tell
you about Colorado
559
00:26:08,044 --> 00:26:11,377
because the Bureau has a
confidentiality agreement with Angela.
560
00:26:11,681 --> 00:26:13,979
And the New York District
Attorney can't keep a secret?
561
00:26:14,050 --> 00:26:16,951
It's ancient history, Mr. McCoy.
When she recorded Huey Tate,
562
00:26:17,020 --> 00:26:18,715
she wasn't acting
under anyone's orders.
563
00:26:19,589 --> 00:26:21,648
I'm hungry.
Anyone want anything?
564
00:26:21,825 --> 00:26:23,019
JACK: We'll pass.
565
00:26:24,794 --> 00:26:27,422
I'm gonna need three hours with
her before she takes the stand.
566
00:26:27,931 --> 00:26:30,263
(EXCLAIMING) What do
you mean, take the stand?
567
00:26:30,367 --> 00:26:32,631
Huey Tate claims
you entrapped him.
568
00:26:32,736 --> 00:26:34,728
A hearing is set for
the day after tomorrow.
569
00:26:35,273 --> 00:26:38,242
You told me all I would have to
do was to authenticate this tape.
570
00:26:38,476 --> 00:26:40,171
Now I'm not testifying
about anything else.
571
00:26:40,244 --> 00:26:41,506
JACK: You don't
have a choice.
572
00:26:41,579 --> 00:26:42,944
Oh, I wasn't talking to you.
573
00:26:43,481 --> 00:26:46,416
Look, these guys have me
living here in this hotel room
574
00:26:46,484 --> 00:26:48,850
because there are people running
around Harlem gunning for me.
575
00:26:48,953 --> 00:26:51,945
Now, nobody is putting
my face on the 6:00 news.
576
00:26:52,023 --> 00:26:54,423
Angela, he's right, you don't...
No. No. No. It's about time
577
00:26:54,592 --> 00:26:57,356
somebody started treating me
with respect around here.
578
00:26:58,529 --> 00:27:02,591
Look, if it weren't for me, you
would have squat on Huey Tate.
579
00:27:03,035 --> 00:27:05,697
Mr. McCoy, you need
to secure a gag order,
580
00:27:05,771 --> 00:27:09,002
and an order to close the
courtroom during her testimony.
581
00:27:14,379 --> 00:27:17,815
After I ran into her at the book
store, we hung out a few times.
582
00:27:18,584 --> 00:27:21,747
She came on to me, talking
sweet, that sort of thing.
583
00:27:22,387 --> 00:27:24,446
It wasn't long
before we became lovers.
584
00:27:25,958 --> 00:27:29,759
Who first brought up Roland
Books and your father's murder?
585
00:27:30,163 --> 00:27:31,289
She did.
586
00:27:31,898 --> 00:27:35,129
She said a friend of hers
that worked at the AAC
587
00:27:35,201 --> 00:27:37,226
told her Roland Books
had my father killed.
588
00:27:37,637 --> 00:27:41,630
DUBOIS: At that time did you harbor
any animosity toward Mr. Books?
589
00:27:42,442 --> 00:27:43,466
No.
590
00:27:44,010 --> 00:27:46,740
I told Angela I wasn't
interested in any rumors.
591
00:27:47,146 --> 00:27:49,979
Did she do or say anything
to change your mind?
592
00:27:51,117 --> 00:27:52,175
Yes.
593
00:27:52,885 --> 00:27:56,322
She said she heard there was
a plot to kill my mother.
594
00:27:57,091 --> 00:27:59,719
Mr. Books was worried she was
gonna take over the AAC.
595
00:28:01,428 --> 00:28:02,554
(SIGHS) I didn't believe it.
596
00:28:02,963 --> 00:28:05,898
But every day Angela would tell
me that my mother was in danger
597
00:28:05,966 --> 00:28:07,558
and I started to
think it was true.
598
00:28:08,202 --> 00:28:13,265
So she created a fear in your
mind, is that what you're saying?
599
00:28:13,841 --> 00:28:16,867
Yes. What did Angela
suggest you do about it?
600
00:28:18,812 --> 00:28:21,337
She said I should find a
way to kill Mr. Books.
601
00:28:22,516 --> 00:28:23,848
She kept bringing it up.
602
00:28:24,152 --> 00:28:28,987
At dinner, on the phone,
at night after we made love.
603
00:28:29,791 --> 00:28:31,349
She kept after me to say yes.
604
00:28:31,426 --> 00:28:34,827
She said killing Roland Books
is what a man would do.
605
00:28:36,464 --> 00:28:37,761
It's what a son should do.
606
00:28:38,667 --> 00:28:42,728
And after weeks of
persistent solicitation,
607
00:28:42,804 --> 00:28:44,738
what did you
finally say to her?
608
00:28:49,044 --> 00:28:50,170
I said I would do it.
609
00:28:52,481 --> 00:28:56,076
But then I couldn't go through with it.
I told her that.
610
00:28:57,953 --> 00:29:00,251
I did not shoot Mr. Books.
611
00:29:01,590 --> 00:29:02,648
DUBOIS: Thank you.
612
00:29:05,461 --> 00:29:07,691
Did you tell your mother about
this threat to kill her?
613
00:29:09,331 --> 00:29:11,231
No, I didn't want to worry her.
614
00:29:11,934 --> 00:29:13,128
Did you call the police?
615
00:29:15,171 --> 00:29:16,695
They didn't do anything
to help my father.
616
00:29:16,772 --> 00:29:18,673
Why should they lift
a finger to help my mother?
617
00:29:18,809 --> 00:29:20,106
JACK: Did you tell anyone?
618
00:29:20,210 --> 00:29:21,575
There was no one I could trust.
619
00:29:21,645 --> 00:29:24,045
Or is it because this whole
story is a fabrication?
620
00:29:25,982 --> 00:29:28,075
No. You always wanted
Roland Books dead,
621
00:29:28,151 --> 00:29:30,381
didn't you? You blame him
for your father's death.
622
00:29:33,523 --> 00:29:34,785
That's not true.
623
00:29:40,497 --> 00:29:42,965
"Marcus Tate was murdered
by men he trusted,
624
00:29:43,033 --> 00:29:45,661
"by men who stole
his mantle of leadership."
625
00:29:45,736 --> 00:29:47,534
Your words, Mr. Tate?
Objection.
626
00:29:47,705 --> 00:29:49,104
I'm reading from
a letter to the editor
627
00:29:49,173 --> 00:29:50,765
of Barricade
magazine attributed
628
00:29:50,842 --> 00:29:53,868
to Huey Tate in
their June 1994 issue.
629
00:29:53,945 --> 00:29:55,173
DUBOIS: It's irrelevant,
Your Honor.
630
00:29:55,279 --> 00:29:59,443
Under Isaacson, even if he was
pre-disposed to commit the crime,
631
00:29:59,617 --> 00:30:00,777
he can still
have been entrapped.
632
00:30:00,852 --> 00:30:04,481
It goes to credibility.
He just said that he didn't blame Mr. Books.
633
00:30:06,491 --> 00:30:10,518
Objection overruled. Mr.
Tate, answer his question.
634
00:30:15,134 --> 00:30:16,897
I wrote it.
I was very angry and...
635
00:30:16,969 --> 00:30:18,664
Thank you.
No more questions.
636
00:30:21,240 --> 00:30:22,832
He was obsessed with Books.
637
00:30:23,208 --> 00:30:27,508
(STAMMERING) He talked about him all the time.
He really hated the man.
638
00:30:28,747 --> 00:30:30,681
Who's idea was it to kill him?
639
00:30:31,216 --> 00:30:32,205
Huey's.
640
00:30:33,418 --> 00:30:36,649
He asked me if I thought I
knew how much it would cost.
641
00:30:36,789 --> 00:30:38,347
And I made up
some crazy amount,
642
00:30:38,423 --> 00:30:40,186
thinking that maybe
he'd forget about it.
643
00:30:40,726 --> 00:30:42,695
Did he?
No.
644
00:30:43,396 --> 00:30:46,991
He decided to do it himself.
I tried to talk him out of it,
645
00:30:47,066 --> 00:30:49,466
but it was like, you know,
talking to a stone wall.
646
00:30:49,969 --> 00:30:52,164
JACK: During that time, were
you acting under the direction
647
00:30:52,238 --> 00:30:55,036
of any law enforcement agency?
No.
648
00:30:56,409 --> 00:30:57,467
Thank you.
649
00:30:59,412 --> 00:31:04,349
Angela, how did you become an FBI
informant two years ago in Colorado?
650
00:31:06,486 --> 00:31:09,547
I was a member of the
Children of the Seventh Seal.
651
00:31:09,990 --> 00:31:12,481
It's a bunch of
whacked-out people
652
00:31:12,560 --> 00:31:14,653
stockpiling guns for doomsday.
653
00:31:15,496 --> 00:31:18,158
I was arrested with an
automatic rifle in my car,
654
00:31:18,465 --> 00:31:20,626
and I was facing
a 10-year sentence,
655
00:31:21,769 --> 00:31:25,796
and Agent Fletcher said that
if I informed on the cult,
656
00:31:26,340 --> 00:31:27,466
they'd drop the charges.
657
00:31:27,708 --> 00:31:29,539
DUBOIS: Did you receive
other compensation?
658
00:31:32,479 --> 00:31:35,380
Don't look at those gentlemen over there.
Just answer my question.
659
00:31:37,953 --> 00:31:39,580
They paid me $40,000.
660
00:31:40,088 --> 00:31:41,715
(DUBOIS EXCLAIMING)
661
00:31:42,858 --> 00:31:47,761
That's 10,000 for each cult
member that you put in jail.
662
00:31:48,597 --> 00:31:52,260
I believe the FBI calls
that pay-for-performance.
663
00:31:55,303 --> 00:31:59,797
Now, how much were you earning from
the bookstore when you met my client?
664
00:32:00,242 --> 00:32:01,709
$7 an hour.
665
00:32:01,776 --> 00:32:02,936
$7.
666
00:32:03,578 --> 00:32:06,673
And you never thought of
earning thousands of dollars
667
00:32:06,749 --> 00:32:08,410
by badgering my
client into making
668
00:32:08,484 --> 00:32:10,076
incriminating
statements on tape?
669
00:32:10,152 --> 00:32:12,245
No. Then why did you
secretly record
670
00:32:12,321 --> 00:32:13,345
your conversations with him?
671
00:32:13,422 --> 00:32:15,947
Because I was afraid
that if he killed Books,
672
00:32:16,025 --> 00:32:18,459
the police would think that I
had something to do with that.
673
00:32:18,527 --> 00:32:19,960
Well, if you were so concerned,
674
00:32:20,029 --> 00:32:22,361
why didn't you just go to the
police before the shooting?
675
00:32:22,431 --> 00:32:26,765
Well, I couldn't do that.
Huey was my friend.
676
00:32:27,436 --> 00:32:29,836
DUBOIS: (CHUCKLES) Weren't the people
in the cult also your friends?
677
00:32:32,175 --> 00:32:35,906
You don't have to answer that.
Nothing further.
678
00:32:37,314 --> 00:32:40,841
Angela hasn't served as a confidential
informant since Colorado.
679
00:32:40,984 --> 00:32:43,885
She was never directed to gather
evidence against Huey Tate.
680
00:32:44,388 --> 00:32:45,412
Thank you.
681
00:32:46,690 --> 00:32:48,783
Are you saying
you had no contact
682
00:32:48,859 --> 00:32:50,451
with Angela
since you transferred
683
00:32:50,527 --> 00:32:51,721
to the New York field office?
684
00:32:51,828 --> 00:32:53,159
That wasn't my testimony.
685
00:32:53,430 --> 00:32:55,694
I'll take that to
mean you had contact.
686
00:32:57,034 --> 00:32:58,058
Go on, Counselor.
687
00:32:59,203 --> 00:33:02,172
This contact, was it
of a social nature?
688
00:33:02,240 --> 00:33:03,935
I'm not at liberty
to discuss it.
689
00:33:04,742 --> 00:33:07,006
Your Honor, could you please
direct the witness to answer?
690
00:33:07,645 --> 00:33:11,308
Agent Fletcher, you will answer Mr.
Dubois's question.
691
00:33:11,382 --> 00:33:14,476
I can't, Your Honor.
It would compromise Bureau operations.
692
00:33:14,552 --> 00:33:17,146
DUBOIS: Move to strike the
witness's entire testimony.
693
00:33:17,488 --> 00:33:19,786
He can't pick which
question he'll answer.
694
00:33:20,191 --> 00:33:23,092
My client has the right to confront
the witnesses against him.
695
00:33:23,161 --> 00:33:25,925
JACK: Your Honor.
The question is material, Mr. McCoy.
696
00:33:26,431 --> 00:33:27,956
Your answer, sir.
697
00:33:31,503 --> 00:33:34,063
The witness' testimony
is stricken.
698
00:33:34,139 --> 00:33:36,300
You are excused,
Agent Fletcher.
699
00:33:40,579 --> 00:33:43,013
JUDGE: Mr. McCoy,
any other witnesses?
700
00:33:43,082 --> 00:33:44,106
JACK: No, Your Honor.
701
00:33:44,183 --> 00:33:45,844
Then for the purposes
of this hearing,
702
00:33:45,918 --> 00:33:48,751
I find the informant was
acting as a government agent.
703
00:33:48,921 --> 00:33:51,446
Your Honor, the informant's
testimony still stands.
704
00:33:51,523 --> 00:33:53,650
She denied acting
on orders of the FBI.
705
00:33:53,726 --> 00:33:56,992
I don't believe her, Mr. McCoy.
I'm granting the motion.
706
00:33:57,330 --> 00:34:01,494
The informant manufactured a crime by hounding Mr.
Tate into an agreement.
707
00:34:03,236 --> 00:34:05,261
The charges are dismissed.
Yes.
708
00:34:05,338 --> 00:34:07,101
(ALL CLAPPING)
709
00:34:14,581 --> 00:34:18,312
Books is all over the news saying it's
a great day for American justice.
710
00:34:18,418 --> 00:34:22,048
Thanks to the FBI hanging us out
to dry with a tainted witness.
711
00:34:22,757 --> 00:34:25,885
You're not the first D.A.
To end up on the Federal clothesline.
712
00:34:26,027 --> 00:34:27,255
I want to know
what they're hiding.
713
00:34:27,328 --> 00:34:28,454
What do you think
they're hiding?
714
00:34:28,529 --> 00:34:30,520
That Roney was really
working for the FBI.
715
00:34:30,598 --> 00:34:32,623
ADAM: Why not?
Common sense.
716
00:34:32,700 --> 00:34:35,294
I don't think the FBI put
a gun in Huey Tate's hand
717
00:34:35,369 --> 00:34:36,666
and let him shoot Books.
718
00:34:36,771 --> 00:34:39,399
I see. FBI never
makes mistakes.
719
00:34:39,673 --> 00:34:41,538
Ever hear of Ruby Ridge?
720
00:34:42,443 --> 00:34:43,671
So now it's a cover-up.
721
00:34:43,744 --> 00:34:45,644
Jamie, there's no
question Fletcher was
722
00:34:45,713 --> 00:34:47,681
in touch with Roney
before the shooting.
723
00:34:48,315 --> 00:34:50,807
If we find out why,
we might find grounds
724
00:34:50,886 --> 00:34:52,979
to re-argue
the entrapment decision.
725
00:34:54,056 --> 00:34:58,459
Well, Angela didn't come to work wearing
a shirt that said "Property of the FBI."
726
00:34:58,827 --> 00:35:00,556
Had you seen her with
Agent Fletcher before?
727
00:35:00,896 --> 00:35:02,056
No.
728
00:35:02,130 --> 00:35:05,224
How about other visitors?
Or strange phone calls?
729
00:35:05,300 --> 00:35:07,097
Everything about
Angela was strange.
730
00:35:07,569 --> 00:35:10,504
You work for six months in a bookstore,
and you never read a book?
731
00:35:12,007 --> 00:35:13,668
What did she spend
her time doing?
732
00:35:14,142 --> 00:35:16,269
Talking to customers,
733
00:35:16,344 --> 00:35:18,540
getting herself invited
to political meetings.
734
00:35:19,048 --> 00:35:22,108
Maybe she aspired to be the Perle
Mesta of the New York underground.
735
00:35:22,318 --> 00:35:25,253
What about money? Did you see any
change in her spending habits?
736
00:35:25,421 --> 00:35:28,322
No. She hit me up for an advance
a couple of months ago.
737
00:35:28,391 --> 00:35:29,619
Said she was coming into some money,
738
00:35:29,692 --> 00:35:31,557
but I'm still waiting
to get paid back.
739
00:35:32,462 --> 00:35:34,692
That was about the time she
started seeing Huey Tate?
740
00:35:35,898 --> 00:35:38,458
That seems right.
He came in about then.
741
00:35:39,735 --> 00:35:42,203
I don't know much
about their relationship.
742
00:35:42,271 --> 00:35:43,670
You should talk
to her old roommate.
743
00:35:44,908 --> 00:35:48,309
I always thought Angela was lying when
she said she had friends in high places.
744
00:35:48,879 --> 00:35:50,574
We're not Angela's friends.
745
00:35:51,348 --> 00:35:52,508
Oh.
746
00:35:53,817 --> 00:35:55,250
(STAMMERING) I'm not, either.
747
00:35:55,385 --> 00:35:57,546
I just shared a place with
her for a few months.
748
00:35:57,621 --> 00:35:59,714
I found her off the
bulletin board at NYU.
749
00:35:59,823 --> 00:36:01,984
What did she say about these
friends in high places?
750
00:36:02,126 --> 00:36:04,686
They were supposed to help
her with some major score.
751
00:36:04,828 --> 00:36:06,887
JACK: Did you spend much
time with her and Huey Tate?
752
00:36:07,231 --> 00:36:09,791
No, they usually
went to his place.
753
00:36:10,134 --> 00:36:13,104
(CHUCKLES) She said I might get jealous
of all the good sex she was having.
754
00:36:13,371 --> 00:36:14,360
How thoughtful.
755
00:36:15,540 --> 00:36:17,371
Did you get the idea
she was using Huey?
756
00:36:19,277 --> 00:36:23,611
Yeah, I mean, Marcus Tate's little boy.
That's a catch.
757
00:36:24,249 --> 00:36:27,047
She was definitely taking
advantage of the situation.
758
00:36:27,118 --> 00:36:28,142
What do you mean?
759
00:36:29,287 --> 00:36:31,414
Like when I moved out,
she offered to help.
760
00:36:31,489 --> 00:36:33,548
She borrowed Huey's
car without telling him.
761
00:36:33,658 --> 00:36:35,421
She even had her own keys made.
762
00:36:37,629 --> 00:36:39,153
I checked her bank records.
763
00:36:39,264 --> 00:36:42,564
Roney's deposited the same
$300 paycheck every week
764
00:36:42,635 --> 00:36:43,829
for the last six months.
765
00:36:43,969 --> 00:36:46,267
Whatever money she was
expecting from the FBI,
766
00:36:46,338 --> 00:36:47,498
she never got it.
767
00:36:47,973 --> 00:36:50,635
She's not on the FBI payroll.
That's good, isn't it?
768
00:36:50,709 --> 00:36:52,609
You can re-argue.
ROSS: There's a wrinkle.
769
00:36:53,212 --> 00:36:56,477
Roney was in the habit of using
Tate's car without his knowledge.
770
00:36:56,615 --> 00:36:59,448
And we think she took his
car to go shoot Books.
771
00:37:01,687 --> 00:37:04,918
She shot Books?
Why would she do that?
772
00:37:05,357 --> 00:37:07,792
If I knew where the FBI was
hiding her, I'd ask her.
773
00:37:08,728 --> 00:37:12,357
Her landlady said she came by her
apartment a few days ago with the FBI.
774
00:37:12,499 --> 00:37:14,592
They filled a few
suitcases and left.
775
00:37:17,204 --> 00:37:18,262
(INTERCOM BUZZING)
776
00:37:18,338 --> 00:37:20,033
Get me the US Attorney.
SECRETARY: Right away.
777
00:37:20,173 --> 00:37:21,868
Convene a grand jury,
get a subpoena.
778
00:37:25,645 --> 00:37:29,274
She's in witness protection I can't
tell you any more than that.
779
00:37:30,417 --> 00:37:32,681
You have to comply.
780
00:37:32,752 --> 00:37:34,481
We have 30 days,
Mr. McCoy.
781
00:37:34,554 --> 00:37:37,786
Right now, we're inclined to
move to quash your subpoena.
782
00:37:38,526 --> 00:37:41,324
The Federal interest
in protecting informants
783
00:37:41,395 --> 00:37:43,659
overrides the needs
of local authorities.
784
00:37:44,265 --> 00:37:45,459
Why do you want to talk to her?
785
00:37:45,666 --> 00:37:48,499
To begin with, we'd like to know where
she was on the night of the shootings.
786
00:37:48,803 --> 00:37:52,068
What? Now she's a suspect?
What the hell have you been smoking?
787
00:37:52,440 --> 00:37:56,308
If you really think she's
involved, get an arrest warrant.
788
00:37:56,677 --> 00:37:57,905
Then we'll hand her over.
789
00:37:58,012 --> 00:38:00,947
If we had enough to arrest,
we wouldn't need a subpoena.
790
00:38:01,015 --> 00:38:03,814
This kid stuck her neck
out to make cases for us.
791
00:38:03,885 --> 00:38:05,409
I won't put her through this bull...
Ron.
792
00:38:06,088 --> 00:38:08,818
We'll be in touch with your
office about the subpoena.
793
00:38:11,660 --> 00:38:13,525
I'd like a word
with Agent Fletcher.
794
00:38:23,905 --> 00:38:24,997
(DOOR CLOSING)
795
00:38:25,073 --> 00:38:27,166
You misjudged Angela
Roney, didn't you?
796
00:38:29,244 --> 00:38:31,440
What? She approached you
before the shooting.
797
00:38:31,514 --> 00:38:35,712
She offered to serve up Huey
Tate in return for money.
798
00:38:36,886 --> 00:38:38,353
I don't know what
you're talking about.
799
00:38:38,721 --> 00:38:41,451
She told everyone she was
expecting a windfall.
800
00:38:42,458 --> 00:38:44,585
We're off the record
here, Agent Fletcher.
801
00:38:44,661 --> 00:38:47,425
On or off, I don't
have anything to say.
802
00:38:49,032 --> 00:38:52,058
Roney warned you Huey Tate
wanted to kill Books.
803
00:38:52,535 --> 00:38:54,935
You didn't believe her.
You told her to get lost.
804
00:38:55,004 --> 00:38:56,835
No. Never happened.
805
00:38:56,906 --> 00:39:00,399
When Books was shot, you panicked.
You thought you screwed up.
806
00:39:00,778 --> 00:39:04,680
That's why you're protecting her
now, to keep her mouth shut.
807
00:39:08,352 --> 00:39:10,616
But Angela Roney shot Books,
808
00:39:12,956 --> 00:39:14,856
to prove that you were wrong,
809
00:39:16,226 --> 00:39:17,523
to make you look foolish.
810
00:39:17,594 --> 00:39:18,822
That's a load of crap.
811
00:39:19,129 --> 00:39:23,361
Her old roommate told us she has
duplicate keys to Tate's car.
812
00:39:24,268 --> 00:39:26,897
She drove his car
to shoot Books.
813
00:39:32,377 --> 00:39:35,744
My next subpoena's gonna be
for you, Agent Fletcher.
814
00:39:36,948 --> 00:39:41,044
If you cooperate, you
might save your career.
815
00:39:41,686 --> 00:39:44,814
If not, I'm having
you cited for contempt.
816
00:39:45,890 --> 00:39:48,882
At best, you failed to
stop an assassination.
817
00:39:50,695 --> 00:39:54,291
At worst, you protected a murderer.
818
00:39:55,634 --> 00:39:57,033
Wait.
819
00:40:02,508 --> 00:40:06,171
Angela was always calling me
820
00:40:06,946 --> 00:40:10,677
about dope deals
and weapons sales,
821
00:40:11,384 --> 00:40:14,319
but every time I gave her
a polygraph, she failed.
822
00:40:15,521 --> 00:40:18,513
Then she came in with
this story about Tate.
823
00:40:18,591 --> 00:40:20,423
She wanted $20,000.
824
00:40:21,395 --> 00:40:24,125
I gave her another polygraph.
She failed again. I blew her off.
825
00:40:27,367 --> 00:40:32,896
After Books was shot, I thought
I was finished in the Bureau.
826
00:40:33,807 --> 00:40:36,037
You just said she
failed a polygraph.
827
00:40:40,447 --> 00:40:44,349
An informant warned the Bureau
828
00:40:44,418 --> 00:40:47,114
about Arab terrorists
and bombs.
829
00:40:48,322 --> 00:40:50,916
They gave him a polygraph.
They told him to get lost.
830
00:40:51,859 --> 00:40:54,054
Six months later, the World
Trade Center blew up.
831
00:40:56,264 --> 00:40:58,824
What do you think happened to the
agent that screwed that pooch?
832
00:41:04,906 --> 00:41:06,965
This just came from
Fletcher's office.
833
00:41:08,976 --> 00:41:10,534
A set of car keys.
834
00:41:12,079 --> 00:41:14,206
And an affidavit signed
by Agent Fletcher,
835
00:41:14,315 --> 00:41:16,477
stating the keys were
found during a search
836
00:41:16,552 --> 00:41:18,645
of Angela Roney's
belongings yesterday.
837
00:41:20,923 --> 00:41:22,322
Send them to forensics.
838
00:41:23,792 --> 00:41:26,056
There's also an address
of a motel in Long Island
839
00:41:26,128 --> 00:41:27,789
where Angela Roney's
being kept.
840
00:41:32,801 --> 00:41:36,601
The keys fit Huey Tate's car.
Your prints are on them.
841
00:41:37,005 --> 00:41:38,472
We examined your clothing.
842
00:41:39,074 --> 00:41:41,167
We found traces
of gunshot residue
843
00:41:41,243 --> 00:41:43,041
on the right sleeve
of a leather jacket.
844
00:41:44,080 --> 00:41:46,674
And finally, we can't
corroborate your alibi.
845
00:41:46,983 --> 00:41:49,884
It's not an easy case, but
we've convicted with less.
846
00:41:51,254 --> 00:41:52,346
What's the offer?
847
00:41:54,390 --> 00:41:56,881
Murder two, 20-to-life.
848
00:41:57,727 --> 00:41:58,955
Uh-uh.
849
00:41:59,496 --> 00:42:00,963
You offered Huey man one.
850
00:42:01,030 --> 00:42:02,964
You didn't kill to avenge
your father's death.
851
00:42:03,032 --> 00:42:04,431
You killed to impress people.
852
00:42:08,872 --> 00:42:10,134
I can give you Huey.
853
00:42:12,376 --> 00:42:13,741
He lied at the hearing.
854
00:42:14,345 --> 00:42:16,575
Now, he never backed
out of killing Books.
855
00:42:17,381 --> 00:42:19,975
I mean, he didn't want to
know who or when or where,
856
00:42:20,050 --> 00:42:22,280
but he wanted it done.
857
00:42:23,354 --> 00:42:24,480
Nice story.
858
00:42:25,523 --> 00:42:28,356
You can tell it to your
cellmate for the next 25 years.
859
00:42:28,626 --> 00:42:31,026
Hey, smart guy,
860
00:42:31,095 --> 00:42:33,962
why do you suppose he never
reported the gun missing?
861
00:42:34,331 --> 00:42:35,958
He supplied the gun to kill Books?
862
00:42:36,667 --> 00:42:42,106
Yeah, that's right, and for man
one I'll tell you where it is.
863
00:42:42,908 --> 00:42:45,399
Murder two,
15-to-life.
864
00:42:48,246 --> 00:42:49,406
Now where's the gun?
865
00:42:54,352 --> 00:42:55,580
(LAUGHS)
866
00:42:56,187 --> 00:42:57,347
Man.
867
00:42:59,257 --> 00:43:00,588
I knew Huey'd go for it.
868
00:43:02,294 --> 00:43:03,818
He wanted Books dead.
869
00:43:04,896 --> 00:43:08,424
All I had to do was
suggest the means.
870
00:43:09,835 --> 00:43:11,996
But then Fletcher and
his stupid polygraph...
871
00:43:12,171 --> 00:43:13,570
(CHUCKLES)
872
00:43:14,240 --> 00:43:15,605
(SIGHS)
873
00:43:17,209 --> 00:43:19,439
For 20 grand,
874
00:43:19,512 --> 00:43:23,778
I could've handed him a conspiracy
count on a silver platter.
875
00:43:25,618 --> 00:43:28,485
I filed a motion to re-argue
the entrapment decision.
876
00:43:29,288 --> 00:43:31,483
With Fletcher's new testimony,
the judge has to find
877
00:43:31,557 --> 00:43:33,788
Roney wasn't acting under
orders from the FBI.
878
00:43:34,528 --> 00:43:37,929
Well, whatever she did
can't be entrapment.
879
00:43:38,765 --> 00:43:40,892
We can re-instate the
charges against Huey Tate.
880
00:43:41,001 --> 00:43:42,195
Good.
881
00:43:42,269 --> 00:43:44,237
Ballistics matched
the gun to the slugs.
882
00:43:44,304 --> 00:43:47,364
But latent found no prints on it.
We can't link it to Tate.
883
00:43:47,474 --> 00:43:50,466
Until you do, you can't
corroborate the girl's story.
884
00:43:51,078 --> 00:43:52,375
You have no case against Tate.
885
00:43:52,546 --> 00:43:54,878
At least we can return the
gun to its legal owner.
886
00:43:55,382 --> 00:43:57,816
Five years ago, it was
licensed to Otis Cooke.
887
00:43:59,086 --> 00:44:00,383
Books' bodyguard?
888
00:44:02,523 --> 00:44:03,547
Good night.
889
00:44:08,296 --> 00:44:10,992
Mr. Cooke was our
chief of security.
890
00:44:11,065 --> 00:44:12,930
He had permits for
a number of weapons.
891
00:44:13,434 --> 00:44:15,026
There's nothing
unusual about that.
892
00:44:16,604 --> 00:44:20,199
Huey Tate gave one of those weapons
to the woman who shot you.
893
00:44:20,274 --> 00:44:21,832
(LAUGHING)
894
00:44:21,909 --> 00:44:23,809
You don't know when
to quit, Mr. McCoy.
895
00:44:24,512 --> 00:44:26,776
Now why can't you leave
that poor brother alone?
896
00:44:26,881 --> 00:44:28,611
ROSS: We talked to
your executive assistant.
897
00:44:28,717 --> 00:44:30,947
She remembers after
Marcus Tate was killed,
898
00:44:31,020 --> 00:44:33,784
Otis Cooke gave the Tate
family guns for protection.
899
00:44:34,056 --> 00:44:35,921
Does she have any direct
knowledge of this?
900
00:44:35,991 --> 00:44:38,118
No. She said you would.
901
00:44:38,394 --> 00:44:40,624
That it could only have been
done under your authority.
902
00:44:41,463 --> 00:44:44,296
I don't have any recollection of
any gun being given to Huey Tate.
903
00:44:44,366 --> 00:44:46,664
So, you don't have
any idea how that gun
904
00:44:46,735 --> 00:44:48,600
ended up in
Angela Roney's hands?
905
00:44:48,871 --> 00:44:50,668
For all I know, she
found it on the street.
906
00:44:50,739 --> 00:44:52,707
She claims she got
it from Huey Tate.
907
00:44:53,275 --> 00:44:56,245
She claims he conspired
with her to kill you.
908
00:44:56,413 --> 00:44:58,108
That would make
them accomplices.
909
00:44:58,615 --> 00:45:02,381
Meaning her story doesn't mean
a thing without corroboration.
910
00:45:02,619 --> 00:45:04,018
That's why we're
talking to you.
911
00:45:04,087 --> 00:45:06,021
I have a better
story, Mr. McCoy.
912
00:45:06,456 --> 00:45:08,617
To create a schism within
the black community,
913
00:45:08,825 --> 00:45:12,625
the FBI used a misguided,
pathetic sister to shoot me
914
00:45:12,962 --> 00:45:15,760
and frame the son of
a revered black leader.
915
00:45:15,999 --> 00:45:17,023
It's ridiculous.
916
00:45:17,100 --> 00:45:18,761
Ten years ago, if I told you
917
00:45:18,835 --> 00:45:21,167
the CIA was selling crack
in my neighborhood
918
00:45:21,237 --> 00:45:23,137
to finance a war
in Central America,
919
00:45:23,206 --> 00:45:25,505
I would've called
you ridiculous.
920
00:45:27,478 --> 00:45:30,311
Far as we're concerned, this
government is capable of anything.
921
00:45:31,782 --> 00:45:34,683
I don't see how protecting a
murderer advances your cause.
922
00:45:34,885 --> 00:45:37,251
Does the spectacle
of black fratricide?
923
00:45:38,355 --> 00:45:40,823
My people need unity
far more than truth.
924
00:45:41,559 --> 00:45:43,049
What they need is justice.
925
00:45:43,127 --> 00:45:44,355
(LAUGHS)
926
00:45:44,528 --> 00:45:48,931
What that is depends on which
end of the bullwhip you're on.
927
00:45:51,203 --> 00:45:53,330
I'll take my chances with Huey Tate.
928
00:45:54,039 --> 00:45:56,599
You still think we're
trying to frame him?
929
00:45:56,675 --> 00:45:58,108
You might be right about him.
930
00:45:58,944 --> 00:46:03,210
I don't know. And what's more, Mr.
McCoy, I don't care.
931
00:46:08,520 --> 00:46:12,513
Roland Books arm-in-arm with
Huey Tate and his mother.
932
00:46:13,492 --> 00:46:15,483
Nice to see everyone
getting along.
933
00:46:16,361 --> 00:46:17,726
ADAM: Got to
hand it to Books.
934
00:46:18,865 --> 00:46:22,631
He turned a first-class goof-up
into an FBI conspiracy.
935
00:46:23,703 --> 00:46:25,330
He's preaching
to the converted.
936
00:46:26,139 --> 00:46:27,868
A black community
primed to expect
937
00:46:27,940 --> 00:46:29,305
the worst from its government.
938
00:46:32,378 --> 00:46:33,640
Whose fault is that?
939
00:46:37,617 --> 00:46:38,709
(CHUCKLES)
