NARRATOR:
In the criminal justice system
2
00:00:03,203 --> 00:00:07,015
the people are represented by two
separate yet equally important groups,
3
00:00:07,174 --> 00:00:08,983
the police
who investigate crime
4
00:00:09,042 --> 00:00:11,784
and the district attorneys
who prosecute the offenders.
5
00:00:11,845 --> 00:00:13,552
These are their stories.
6
00:00:41,041 --> 00:00:44,022
"Oh, Morris, how much trouble
can one little dog be?"
7
00:00:44,912 --> 00:00:48,121
Did she ever walk you once?
When, June?
8
00:00:48,849 --> 00:00:52,353
It's gotta be 20 below. What's
the matter, your pipe frozen?
9
00:01:00,494 --> 00:01:03,202
Come on, another dog did it.
You could do it, too.
10
00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:08,073
Thank you.
11
00:01:13,206 --> 00:01:14,583
(EXPLOSION)
12
00:01:19,313 --> 00:01:23,887
I didn't see anybody. I was cleaning up
my dog's crap, the whole place blew up.
13
00:01:24,284 --> 00:01:27,390
We found the baggie over there.
You think Forensics wants it?
14
00:01:27,454 --> 00:01:29,695
No.
What about my dog?
15
00:01:30,157 --> 00:01:32,637
She ran away.
She's afraid of loud noises.
16
00:01:32,693 --> 00:01:37,039
Then she's living in the wrong town, pal.
Keep an eye out for his dog.
17
00:01:38,198 --> 00:01:41,077
Maybe a homeless guy lit a fire.
It's a cold night.
18
00:01:41,201 --> 00:01:45,013
Hell of a can of Sterno. Not if he
put it on top of a propane tank.
19
00:01:45,072 --> 00:01:46,983
We're trying to reach
the construction company,
20
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:48,815
see what kind of flammables
they had around.
21
00:01:48,875 --> 00:01:52,345
Nobody's answering the night number. So
what, we just sit around here all night?
22
00:01:52,412 --> 00:01:54,517
Hey, why don't you arson guys
build us a campfire,
23
00:01:54,581 --> 00:01:55,753
and we'll toast
some marshmallows?
24
00:01:55,816 --> 00:02:00,458
We're tracking the seat of the explosion.
When the site cools, we start sifting.
25
00:02:01,021 --> 00:02:03,865
Now, you keep your guys
from messing up the scene.
26
00:02:05,158 --> 00:02:07,399
LOGAN: Lennie! Over here.
27
00:02:12,132 --> 00:02:13,270
It's a kid.
28
00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:21,119
Where'd they find him?
Up there.
29
00:02:21,775 --> 00:02:25,416
Hey, did you see his face? It must
have been smashed by a girder.
30
00:02:25,479 --> 00:02:29,017
Did he say anything? He was crying.
He's lucky they heard him.
31
00:02:29,883 --> 00:02:32,056
Let's hope
he keeps rolling sevens.
32
00:03:25,038 --> 00:03:27,712
Four hours in surgery.
What can they be doing?
33
00:03:28,508 --> 00:03:31,580
Mrs. Cuneo, I know this isn't
easy, but do you have any idea
34
00:03:31,645 --> 00:03:34,489
what your son was doing
on that construction site?
35
00:03:35,082 --> 00:03:38,894
I work all night. Subway token booth.
I tell him to stay in.
36
00:03:39,319 --> 00:03:41,526
Well, was there any
problems with Robbie
37
00:03:41,588 --> 00:03:43,693
in terms of lighting fires,
anything like that?
38
00:03:43,757 --> 00:03:45,794
Robbie's never been
any trouble.
39
00:03:46,026 --> 00:03:48,939
BRISCOE: He have any friends who
might get in trouble? Gangs?
40
00:03:49,296 --> 00:03:53,142
He's only 12 years old. They
start pretty young these days.
41
00:03:53,333 --> 00:03:57,145
You want to know what he was doing
on that building? Mountain climbing.
42
00:03:57,204 --> 00:04:00,913
I took him to the Adirondacks last summer.
He met some college kids,
43
00:04:01,041 --> 00:04:04,352
they showed him how to use
ropes, harnesses, carabiners.
44
00:04:04,478 --> 00:04:07,322
Took him up a stone face.
He was crazy for it.
45
00:04:07,581 --> 00:04:09,151
He was climbing that building?
46
00:04:09,216 --> 00:04:12,060
Closest thing there is
in this city to a mountain.
47
00:04:13,353 --> 00:04:14,730
Mrs. Cuneo?
Yeah.
48
00:04:16,056 --> 00:04:17,160
I'm sorry.
49
00:04:21,361 --> 00:04:24,501
This is preliminary, but that
explosion was no accident.
50
00:04:24,664 --> 00:04:28,009
Nitroglycerin, sodium
nitrate, ammonium oxalate.
51
00:04:28,635 --> 00:04:30,342
Straight dynamite.
Yes.
52
00:04:30,971 --> 00:04:33,349
What, are you talking chemistry
courses in your spare time?
53
00:04:33,406 --> 00:04:34,783
What spare time?
54
00:04:34,841 --> 00:04:37,583
I had a case once,
back before you were born.
55
00:04:37,644 --> 00:04:40,921
Guy tried to bomb his wife, he
wound up blowing up the cat.
56
00:04:41,081 --> 00:04:42,856
This guy knew
what he was doing.
57
00:04:42,916 --> 00:04:46,056
The dynamite was positioned at
support beams and tie girders,
58
00:04:46,119 --> 00:04:49,066
and then tamped with cement
bags to center the blast.
59
00:04:49,122 --> 00:04:53,229
Blow the beams, blow the building. At
least our man was considerate enough
60
00:04:53,426 --> 00:04:57,203
to aim the collapse on to the back
of the lot, not out into the street.
61
00:04:57,264 --> 00:05:00,336
Yeah, well, we're gonna give him a good
citizenship award as soon as we catch him.
62
00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:01,902
What did he use for ignition?
63
00:05:01,968 --> 00:05:06,178
Detonating cord, blasting caps
coordinated by a kitchen timer.
64
00:05:06,840 --> 00:05:09,218
The kind you can buy
in any dime store.
65
00:05:09,409 --> 00:05:11,855
Yeah, the guy set the alarm
and just went for a stroll.
66
00:05:11,912 --> 00:05:14,153
Where did the dynamite
come from? On site?
67
00:05:14,214 --> 00:05:17,218
No, it was a renovation job,
so there was no blasting.
68
00:05:17,284 --> 00:05:19,423
Someone could have carried
it in in a shopping bag.
69
00:05:19,486 --> 00:05:23,662
Construction. You got 50 suspects
before you do your first interview.
70
00:05:23,723 --> 00:05:28,069
Rotten building inspectors, mobbed-up
haulers, protection racket enforcers,
71
00:05:28,261 --> 00:05:29,638
insurance scams.
72
00:05:29,896 --> 00:05:31,933
We're thinking about dropping
in on the building owner,
73
00:05:31,998 --> 00:05:35,138
seeing if his policy's up to date.
Don't let me keep you.
74
00:05:39,472 --> 00:05:44,046
It was built as a mercantile center in the 1880s.
Wonderful architecture.
75
00:05:44,945 --> 00:05:48,415
The idea was to gut it and partition
the floors into small suites
76
00:05:48,481 --> 00:05:49,960
around a central
reception area.
77
00:05:50,016 --> 00:05:53,463
And everything was partitioning
smoothly? Oh, sure.
78
00:05:54,654 --> 00:05:56,634
Once I'd convinced the city
I wasn't disturbing
79
00:05:56,690 --> 00:05:58,829
any ancient Indian
burial grounds,
80
00:05:59,292 --> 00:06:02,273
and the Landmarks Commission I wasn't
destroying any sacred moldings,
81
00:06:02,329 --> 00:06:05,538
and the environmental people... And
your insurance was all in order?
82
00:06:05,866 --> 00:06:07,038
Yes.
83
00:06:07,934 --> 00:06:10,107
So you'll be collecting
how much?
84
00:06:10,637 --> 00:06:15,382
$4.8 million. And it's the worst
thing that's ever happened to me.
85
00:06:15,575 --> 00:06:18,317
Oh, sounds like you had
a pretty nice life so far.
86
00:06:20,947 --> 00:06:23,689
That money just makes up
what I'm out of pocket.
87
00:06:24,384 --> 00:06:28,298
I had that building 90% leased
to an ad agency and a publisher.
88
00:06:28,421 --> 00:06:31,231
That was money in the bank
for the next 20 years.
89
00:06:31,324 --> 00:06:33,827
You still own the
property, correct? Yes.
90
00:06:33,927 --> 00:06:36,737
Until the dead boy's mother
sues me for negligence.
91
00:06:36,796 --> 00:06:40,073
Mr. Gaston, it's somebody's
fault that boy is dead.
92
00:06:40,467 --> 00:06:42,913
Yes, I know, but it's not mine.
93
00:06:45,038 --> 00:06:48,850
The site was under the control of the
general contractor, Buzz Palley.
94
00:06:49,075 --> 00:06:50,884
I'm supposed
to be doing an inventory,
95
00:06:50,944 --> 00:06:54,357
the bomb squad cops won't even let me on
the site to get to my office trailer.
96
00:06:54,414 --> 00:06:58,590
Well, right now your trailer is under
about eight feet of rubble, Mr. Palley.
97
00:06:59,119 --> 00:07:02,191
Great. I got nothing to do for a while.
What can I do for you?
98
00:07:02,255 --> 00:07:04,735
Do you have any idea who might
have wanted to shut you down?
99
00:07:04,791 --> 00:07:08,238
Who didn't? Unions are screaming
bloody murder from day one.
100
00:07:08,628 --> 00:07:12,872
I manage to put up buildings without them.
It's the only way I can ever make a low bid.
101
00:07:12,933 --> 00:07:16,506
Well, dynamite's kind of a drastic
way to settle a labor dispute.
102
00:07:16,569 --> 00:07:18,913
They're picketing, boycotting,
blocking the gate.
103
00:07:18,972 --> 00:07:21,452
Well, that's part of
the drill, isn't it?
104
00:07:22,108 --> 00:07:26,386
A week ago Thursday, just after quitting
time, three shots come out of nowhere.
105
00:07:26,479 --> 00:07:28,789
Two through my trailer,
one into a cement bag.
106
00:07:28,848 --> 00:07:32,091
And you think it was union people?
The picket line went dumb,
107
00:07:32,152 --> 00:07:35,690
but I figure it was
one of them or Calvin Tiller.
108
00:07:37,424 --> 00:07:39,199
Self-proclaimed
king of the blacks.
109
00:07:39,259 --> 00:07:43,435
He screams about jobs for minorities
until you pay him off to go away.
110
00:07:43,496 --> 00:07:44,566
And you didn't pay?
111
00:07:46,599 --> 00:07:49,375
There wasn't enough room
in my bid to cover extortion.
112

The man send you boys to see me?
LOGAN: Yeah.

He told me to ask you personally about
an incident on Church Street last night.

your identification, please?

and here come the police.

Mr. Tiller, we have to ask you
a couple of questions.
120
00:08:26,706 --> 00:08:29,653
Yeah, well, I'm a little busy right
now trying to get some justice

B&C construction company.
122
00:08:33,246 --> 00:08:34,247
Yeah.
That's right.
123
00:08:34,314 --> 00:08:38,285
We're trying to get a little justice
for a boy who was killed last night.
124

No.

see me, make an appointment.

MAN 1: That's it.
MAN 2: That's right.

00:08:55,168 --> 00:08:57,671
Mr. Palley and I couldn't
come to an understanding,
130
00:08:57,737 --> 00:09:00,775
so I moved on to a greener pasture.
LOGAN: You walked away?
131
00:09:01,107 --> 00:09:05,078
What about "justice for the community"?
Justice is like everything else.
132
00:09:05,145 --> 00:09:06,249
It's negotiable.
133
00:09:06,312 --> 00:09:08,383
In other words, you negotiate
a payoff for yourself,
134
00:09:08,448 --> 00:09:10,689
and to hell with the brothers
on the line.
135
00:09:10,750 --> 00:09:13,230
Look, I spread it around.
My people are happy.
136
00:09:13,286 --> 00:09:17,132
But you weren't happy, were you, Calvin?
'Cause Buzz Palley wouldn't ante up.
137
00:09:17,190 --> 00:09:18,294
So I moved on.
138
00:09:18,358 --> 00:09:20,895
So maybe you wanted to say
a dramatic goodbye?
139
00:09:22,328 --> 00:09:26,003
Look, I shut them down, not blow them up.
It's a nice living.

Why take a chance
on messing up a good thing?
141
00:09:27,901 --> 00:09:29,938
Maybe Palley
just pissed you off.
142
00:09:30,003 --> 00:09:33,678
I never make the mistake of getting
emotional about my work, Detective.
143
00:09:33,740 --> 00:09:37,244
All Palley did was confuse me.
My price is very reasonable.
144
00:09:37,577 --> 00:09:39,318
But he wouldn't even talk.
145
00:09:41,181 --> 00:09:44,458
Some alibi. "I'm not an
arsonist, I'm an extortionist."
146
00:09:44,818 --> 00:09:47,025
It plays for now.
Yeah, union time.

Not tonight.
148
00:09:51,858 --> 00:09:55,237
Palley goes non-union to save a buck,
and it comes out of the workers' hide.
149
00:09:55,295 --> 00:09:57,798
You can't live on the wage, anymore.
Somebody took the work.
150

The desperate and the stupid.
151

No wonder
the damn building fell down.
153

The building fell down
because somebody dynamited it.
154
00:10:07,674 --> 00:10:10,518
Probably some scab carpenter
filling in for a mason
155

who confused explosives
with mortar.

Look, why don't you save
the speeches for Labor Day?

I'll give you a short one. My men build buildings.
They don't blow them up.

00:10:18,818 --> 00:10:21,059
They just fire warning shots.
Nobody got arrested for that.

00:10:30,930 --> 00:10:32,534
Palley's the one
that's been playing hardball.
164
00:10:32,599 --> 00:10:35,341
He nearly ran over three
pickets with a cement truck.
165
00:10:35,401 --> 00:10:39,349
Never a dull moment at that work site.
What was the picket captain's name?
166
00:10:39,405 --> 00:10:43,547
Roy Beggs. He's in the
shape-up hall down there.
167
00:10:45,478 --> 00:10:47,958
Palley didn't give us
the jobs, that's bad enough.
168
00:10:48,014 --> 00:10:49,789
But he didn't give us
any respect.
169
00:10:49,849 --> 00:10:53,126
Oh, come on, what do you want him to do,
send milk and cookies to your picket line?
170
00:10:53,186 --> 00:10:55,757
We maybe get a little too
close to the gate one day.
171
00:10:55,822 --> 00:10:57,233
He has to gun a truck at us?
172
00:10:57,290 --> 00:11:00,100
Barney Collins breaks his
elbow diving for cover.
173
00:11:00,660 --> 00:11:03,140
Something like that, you're
gonna want to retaliate, right?
174
00:11:03,196 --> 00:11:05,699
Hey, I went to see Palley.
Firm but polite.
175
00:11:06,032 --> 00:11:08,672
He said the next time he aimed a
truck at us, he wouldn't miss.
176
00:11:08,735 --> 00:11:12,945
We were a bunch of losers, on and on. He
practically dared us to shut him down.
177
00:11:13,006 --> 00:11:14,986
And did you?
We didn't have to.
178
00:11:15,575 --> 00:11:18,954
Palley got fired off the only other
job he had going two weeks ago.
179
00:11:19,012 --> 00:11:21,492
This one was headed
for the crapper, too.
180
00:11:24,584 --> 00:11:27,622
You notice how Palley
antagonizes everybody?
181
00:11:27,687 --> 00:11:29,689
I mean, these guys, Tiller...
182
00:11:29,956 --> 00:11:33,028
Stupid.
Unless he's got an agenda.
183
00:11:34,127 --> 00:11:36,539
Let's go talk to the guy
that fired him.
184
00:11:37,230 --> 00:11:41,235
I fell in love with Palley's bid. I
should have taken another look at Palley.
185
00:11:41,301 --> 00:11:43,781
Why? He get his pliers
mixed up with his wrenches?
186
00:11:43,836 --> 00:11:46,407
No, he got my money mixed
up with his. Oops.
187
00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:49,520
He's non-union,
so I expect some hassles.
188
00:11:50,210 --> 00:11:52,349
We're waiting for concrete so
we could build a retaining wall
189
00:11:52,412 --> 00:11:53,686
before we do our blasting.
190
00:11:53,746 --> 00:11:55,726
Job involved demolition?
Some.
191
00:11:56,182 --> 00:11:58,128
Did Palley have access
to the dynamite?
192
00:11:58,184 --> 00:12:00,357
He was the GC.
He had all the keys.
193
00:12:00,620 --> 00:12:03,260
So, anyway, I pay for
materials as they're ordered.
194
00:12:03,323 --> 00:12:05,803
Sol pay for the concrete.
It never shows up.
195
00:12:05,859 --> 00:12:08,100
Palley said the union workers
at the yard wouldn't load it.
196
00:12:08,161 --> 00:12:11,074
And meanwhile, Palley has your money?
No. He's got my concrete.
197
00:12:11,130 --> 00:12:13,940
I called the yard. It's non-union.
They loaded the concrete,
198
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:17,243
but Palley delivered it to the
job he's doing with Gaston.
199
00:12:17,570 --> 00:12:20,949
Palley's stealing from you to buy
materials for his other job?
200
00:12:21,074 --> 00:12:22,178
That's it.
201
00:12:22,408 --> 00:12:26,982
You know the babe in the woods act doesn't
quite go with the Armani suit, Mr. Gaston.
202
00:12:27,146 --> 00:12:29,990
Don't you check out the finances
of the contractors you hire?
203
00:12:30,049 --> 00:12:33,360
I wasn't building the World
Trade Center, Detective.
204
00:12:33,620 --> 00:12:36,294
Palley said he could handle it.
I took him at his word.
205
00:12:36,356 --> 00:12:39,098
You'd be very popular
at our weekly poker games.
206
00:12:39,158 --> 00:12:43,265
His bid was low. Sometimes
contractors take on a break-even job
207
00:12:43,329 --> 00:12:45,138
just to amortize
their equipment.
208
00:12:45,198 --> 00:12:47,872
Let's pretend Palley
was having a money problem.
209
00:12:47,934 --> 00:12:51,541
Now he comes to you and he says he
can't afford to finish the job.
210
00:12:51,671 --> 00:12:54,811
Do you give him more money?
We had a contract.
211
00:12:55,041 --> 00:12:58,079
He does the job at the
agreed-upon price, or I sue him.
212
00:12:58,511 --> 00:13:01,151
Even if it puts him out of business?
That's his problem.
213
00:13:01,214 --> 00:13:02,625
You had a contract?
214
00:13:02,682 --> 00:13:05,663
Well, there was a standard
force majeure clause.
215
00:13:05,852 --> 00:13:10,096
Contract's void if the job
shuts down by war, tidal wave,
216
00:13:10,556 --> 00:13:13,162
terrorist violence, act of god...
Bombing?
217
00:13:13,793 --> 00:13:17,070
Yes. Job's over.
And Palley's off the hook?
218
00:13:24,103 --> 00:13:27,141
So I'm having a little
cash-flow problem, so what?
219
00:13:27,206 --> 00:13:30,585
You've got more than a little
problem, Mr. Palley. We looked.
220
00:13:30,743 --> 00:13:33,314
You've been bouncing checks
from here to Bronxville.
221
00:13:33,379 --> 00:13:35,518
Your bank cut off
your line of credit.
222
00:13:35,581 --> 00:13:38,721
What are you people, the police or the IRS?
What is this?
223
00:13:38,785 --> 00:13:41,698
If you couldn't afford to
finish Gaston's renovation,
224
00:13:41,754 --> 00:13:44,792
that gave you a hell of a reason
to make the place go boom.
225
00:13:44,857 --> 00:13:46,768
LOGAN:
Right on Robbie Cuneo's head.
226
00:13:49,028 --> 00:13:51,201
That kid was 12 years old,
Palley.
227
00:13:51,397 --> 00:13:55,504
You could have picked up the dynamite
easy from that job you got fired from.
228
00:13:56,436 --> 00:13:58,473
There's a lot of
dynamite around.
229
00:13:58,538 --> 00:14:01,542
Look, that explosion
put me out of business.
230
00:14:01,607 --> 00:14:04,383
No, Mr. Palley.
It saved you from bankruptcy.
231
00:14:04,644 --> 00:14:06,248
No, no.
No what?
232
00:14:08,147 --> 00:14:12,357
When that job exploded, I was 48
hours away from getting $2 million.
233
00:14:13,086 --> 00:14:15,225
More than enough
to finish in the black.
234
00:14:15,288 --> 00:14:17,564
What were you expecting,
a visit from the tooth fairy?
235
00:14:18,024 --> 00:14:21,130
I was expecting an investor
in my construction company.
236
00:14:26,833 --> 00:14:30,906
I returned from China last night. This
is first I heard of the explosion.
237
00:14:32,271 --> 00:14:35,684
Well, Mr. Palley says you were
planning on investing with him?
238
00:14:37,343 --> 00:14:39,323
Is this part of a
criminal investigation?
239
00:14:39,379 --> 00:14:42,019
No, just a background check.
It's off the record.
240
00:14:42,081 --> 00:14:43,651
I am from Hong Kong.
241
00:14:44,383 --> 00:14:47,023
We will be reuniting
with China in two years.
242
00:14:47,854 --> 00:14:52,098
My family is exploring investment
opportunities in several countries.
243
00:14:52,525 --> 00:14:54,869
And one of them was Mr. Palley's
construction company?
244
00:14:54,927 --> 00:14:58,875
It was a possibility. Mr. Palley
and I had several dinners together
245
00:14:58,931 --> 00:15:02,435
before I went out to China to
investigate another possibility.
246
00:15:02,869 --> 00:15:05,213
A plastic toy factory
in Fujian.
247
00:15:05,705 --> 00:15:08,914
Yeah, well, he says the deal was set.
Does he?
248
00:15:10,343 --> 00:15:13,916
When a company needs an investment
to expand, that's good.
249
00:15:14,414 --> 00:15:18,021
When a company needs an investment
to survive, that's not good.
250
00:15:18,484 --> 00:15:20,430
We heard Palley was belly-up.
251
00:15:20,486 --> 00:15:23,228
I took his books with me
to study on the flight.
252
00:15:23,756 --> 00:15:28,535
By the time we reached cruising altitude,
I knew we would be investing elsewhere.
253
00:15:29,162 --> 00:15:31,904
Did Palley know this?
I called from the plane.
254
00:15:32,498 --> 00:15:35,502
I left a message
with his wife, Christine.
255
00:15:36,736 --> 00:15:39,615
No, I'm not Mrs. Palley. I'm
Buzz's sister, not his wife.
256
00:15:39,672 --> 00:15:42,778
Well, this is the address he gave us.
Is Mrs. Palley here?
257
00:15:42,842 --> 00:15:44,082
Buzz isn't married.
258
00:15:44,143 --> 00:15:47,420
He's been camping on our couch ever since
that explosion ruined his trailer.
259
00:15:47,480 --> 00:15:51,292
He was living on the construction site?
Oh, just for a little while.
260
00:15:51,617 --> 00:15:54,757
So, he doesn't have his own apartment?
He was looking for a new place.
261
00:15:54,821 --> 00:15:58,928
Well, his old place, did he move out because
he was having trouble paying the rent?
262
00:15:58,991 --> 00:16:01,835
No, nothing like that. Look,
Buzz isn't here right now.
263
00:16:01,894 --> 00:16:04,431
Well, we know all about
his money problems, Mrs...
264
00:16:04,497 --> 00:16:07,410
Lyttle. It was just
a temporary thing.
265
00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:10,080
Buzz has got a new contract
he's very excited about.
266
00:16:10,136 --> 00:16:12,673
He's at the Buildings
Department right now.
267
00:16:13,039 --> 00:16:15,280
Now what? I'm trying to get
this paperwork through
268
00:16:15,341 --> 00:16:17,150
before the clerks take
another coffee break.
269
00:16:17,210 --> 00:16:20,851
Those for the new job? Yes. I'm
still in business. Is that a crime?
270
00:16:20,913 --> 00:16:24,383
It is if you freed yourself up for the
new job by blowing up the old one.
271
00:16:24,450 --> 00:16:27,693
I told you. I was expecting...
And we talked to Mr. Kee.
272
00:16:28,421 --> 00:16:32,563
Did you know he's back from China? Then
I assume he told you we had a deal.
273
00:16:32,625 --> 00:16:35,071
Actually, he said to send
regards to your wife.
274
00:16:35,127 --> 00:16:37,505
Did you get married and
forget to tell your sister?
275
00:16:37,563 --> 00:16:40,874
I wined and dined Mr. Kee a few times.
My girlfriend came along.
276
00:16:40,933 --> 00:16:43,504
Your girlfriend?
Chris Chappel.
277
00:16:43,903 --> 00:16:45,576
I told Kee she was my wife.
278
00:16:45,638 --> 00:16:48,915
Chinese, they like to do business
with a stable family man.
279
00:16:50,710 --> 00:16:53,623
LOGAN: So where'd you meet Palley?
On a job? CHRIS: Yeah.
280
00:16:54,113 --> 00:16:56,525
I kind of stand out
from the other guys.
281
00:16:57,550 --> 00:16:59,427
Is it tough being the
only woman on the job?
282
00:16:59,485 --> 00:17:00,793
I hold my own.
283
00:17:03,155 --> 00:17:05,965
I don't want to be rude or anything,
but shouldn't you guys be out
284
00:17:06,025 --> 00:17:07,629
trying to find out
who blew up that building?
285
00:17:07,693 --> 00:17:10,469
Well, we have to be just a little
bit methodical, Miss Chappel.
286
00:17:10,530 --> 00:17:12,066
We'd like to clear up
a couple of points with you.
287
00:17:12,131 --> 00:17:13,166
Okay.
288
00:17:13,232 --> 00:17:18,079
Did you take a message for your boyfriend
from a Mr. Kee about three weeks ago?
289
00:17:18,404 --> 00:17:19,712
I don't know. When?
290
00:17:19,805 --> 00:17:23,844
It's kind of important. He told you to
tell Palley that their deal was off.
291
00:17:25,011 --> 00:17:26,513
Is that what Mr. Kee says?
292
00:17:26,579 --> 00:17:30,220
Well, do you want us to bring him over
so you can play 20 Questions with him?
293
00:17:32,518 --> 00:17:34,589
Okay, I remember.
294
00:17:34,854 --> 00:17:37,960
Well, did you give the
message to him? No.
295
00:17:38,424 --> 00:17:39,801
What? You forgot?
296
00:17:41,427 --> 00:17:43,600
I didn't want to be the one
to give him the bad news.
297
00:17:43,663 --> 00:17:46,735
I figured Mr. Kee would send
him a letter or something.
298
00:17:47,934 --> 00:17:50,005
You think she's lying
to protect Palley?
299
00:17:50,069 --> 00:17:53,312
Well, he's not my type, but
there's no accounting for taste.
300
00:17:53,372 --> 00:17:56,819
If he knew that his angel from the East
wasn't coming through with the bucks,
301
00:17:56,876 --> 00:17:59,117
he might've thought he had no
choice but to blow that building.
302
00:17:59,178 --> 00:18:02,557
If he didn't know, he'd hold off
until he heard from Mr. Kee.
303
00:18:02,615 --> 00:18:06,927
Which brings us back to square one.
Today's topic, "Do female hardhats lie?"
304
00:18:07,386 --> 00:18:10,390
No. Square one is,
"Did Palley build that bomb?"
305
00:18:11,257 --> 00:18:12,998
He had access to dynamite.
306
00:18:13,726 --> 00:18:17,833
Ask the bomb squad if they found
bomb-making materials in Palley's trailer.
307
00:18:20,700 --> 00:18:24,739
We divided the scene into a grid. We're
still sifting, section by section.
308
00:18:25,137 --> 00:18:28,607
BRISCOE: Did you get to the trailer?
Yeah, it was in the collapse zone.
309
00:18:28,674 --> 00:18:30,585
A lot of the structure
landed on top of it,
310
00:18:30,643 --> 00:18:33,351
including the beams
where the charges were set.
311
00:18:33,479 --> 00:18:36,426
So, can you tell the difference
between what's in the trailer
312
00:18:36,482 --> 00:18:39,190
and what fell on top
of the trailer? Yes.
313
00:18:40,086 --> 00:18:42,930
It's a three-dimensional grid.
We measure depth.
314
00:18:42,989 --> 00:18:44,627
Yeah, well,
this is where we came in.
315
00:18:44,690 --> 00:18:47,102
Did you find anything
in the trailer?
316
00:18:47,159 --> 00:18:50,504
What do you mean, like batteries?
Pieces of wire? Safety fuse?
317
00:18:50,563 --> 00:18:53,874
Nope, just file cabinets.
Office supplies.
318
00:18:54,033 --> 00:18:56,377
Plus personal effects, right?
No.
319
00:18:57,069 --> 00:18:59,879
No clothes? No toilet kit?
Just office stuff.
320
00:19:00,006 --> 00:19:01,849
Yeah, but Palley
lived in the trailer.
321
00:19:02,308 --> 00:19:06,723
If he had anything personal in that trailer,
he moved it out before the explosion.
322
00:19:07,113 --> 00:19:09,115
Jeez, isn't that a coincidence?
323
00:19:09,582 --> 00:19:13,325
I kept most of my stuff at my sister's place.
There wasn't much room in the trailer.
324
00:19:13,386 --> 00:19:16,060
Your sister's place is four miles away.
What'd you do?
325
00:19:16,122 --> 00:19:17,795
Run there every time you had
to change your underwear?
326
00:19:17,857 --> 00:19:20,770
I kept a few things with me. I
took them to the laundry that day.
327
00:19:20,826 --> 00:19:23,739
Yeah, what about your toothbrush?
You take that to the laundry, too?
328
00:19:23,796 --> 00:19:25,469
Half the building
is on my trailer.
329
00:19:25,531 --> 00:19:28,671
My toothbrush could be mixed up with
pieces of the fifth-floor conference room.
330
00:19:28,734 --> 00:19:31,578
So what about you?
I mean, you live there.
331
00:19:32,338 --> 00:19:34,375
The building blows up
in the middle of the night.
332
00:19:34,640 --> 00:19:35,710
Where were you?
333
00:19:35,775 --> 00:19:37,220
I couldn't sleep.
I was taking a walk.
334
00:19:39,078 --> 00:19:42,958
Well, that either makes you the luckiest
son of a bitch that ever lived,
335
00:19:43,616 --> 00:19:45,857
or you've been lying to us
since we laid eyes on you.
336
00:19:45,918 --> 00:19:46,988
I'm telling you the truth.
337
00:19:47,053 --> 00:19:50,933
You told us there was nobody at
the site at night. But you were.
338
00:19:51,023 --> 00:19:52,969
I couldn't tell people I
couldn't afford an apartment.
339
00:19:53,025 --> 00:19:55,062
You couldn't tell us, because
then we'd know you were broke
340
00:19:55,127 --> 00:19:56,868
and had a motive
to blow that building.
341
00:19:56,929 --> 00:19:58,840
I couldn't tell anybody.
342
00:19:58,898 --> 00:20:01,902
Word gets out I'm busted, it's vulture time.
I'm out of business.
343
00:20:01,968 --> 00:20:06,644
Hey, we saw the contract for your next job.
A sweet deal on the East Side.
344
00:20:06,706 --> 00:20:10,119
And all you had to do was finish the
Gaston job, solvent, to get to it.
345
00:20:10,176 --> 00:20:11,883
I was gonna finish
the Gaston job fine.
346
00:20:11,944 --> 00:20:14,390
Then how come you practically
begged those union guys
347
00:20:14,447 --> 00:20:17,724
and Calvin Tiller to shut you down?
You can't roll over for those people.
348
00:20:17,783 --> 00:20:21,890
They wouldn't do you the favor of shutting
you down, so you did it yourself.
349
00:20:22,488 --> 00:20:24,627
You killed a 12-year-old boy.
350
00:20:25,491 --> 00:20:26,629
How does that feel?
351
00:20:29,562 --> 00:20:31,405
I want to call a lawyer now.
352
00:20:32,531 --> 00:20:34,067
(KNOCKING ON DOOR)
353
00:20:39,438 --> 00:20:42,510
And that concludes the entertainment
portion of our program.
354
00:20:42,575 --> 00:20:46,182
Do we let his lawyer walk him home?
There's no witness, no physical evidence.
355
00:20:46,245 --> 00:20:49,818
There is motive, a pile of
circumstances, a stack of lies.
356
00:20:49,882 --> 00:20:52,123
With some
very creative explanations.
357
00:20:52,485 --> 00:20:54,829
Do you gain anything
from another day or two?
358
00:20:54,887 --> 00:20:57,731
Not unless an eyewitness
crawls out of the rubble.
359
00:20:58,124 --> 00:21:00,832
Let's see how Mr. Palley
likes Rikers Island.
360
00:21:03,596 --> 00:21:06,770
Arthur Palley, you're under
arrest for arson and murder.
361
00:21:07,900 --> 00:21:09,709
You got the right
to remain silent.
362
00:21:09,769 --> 00:21:12,875
Anything you do say, can and will be
used against you in a court of law.
363
00:21:12,938 --> 00:21:14,349
Do you understand?
364
00:21:15,441 --> 00:21:17,284
PENCE: Talk about your rush
to judgment, McCoy.
365
00:21:17,343 --> 00:21:19,254
What'd you do, outrun the
proverbial speeding bullet
366
00:21:19,311 --> 00:21:20,813
on your way to the grand jury?
367
00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:24,350
It didn't take a superhuman effort
to convince them, Mr. Pence.
368
00:21:24,917 --> 00:21:28,387
Access to dynamite, financial
need, lying to the police.
369
00:21:29,221 --> 00:21:31,201
To the grand jury,
that sounded like means,
370
00:21:31,257 --> 00:21:33,601
motive and evidence
of a guilty conscience.
371
00:21:33,659 --> 00:21:36,697
You slice it thinner than the
prosciutto at Primavera.
372
00:21:36,762 --> 00:21:39,936
Have you even considered that someone
else had motive to plant that bomb?
373
00:21:39,999 --> 00:21:42,673
The police investigated
Calvin Tiller, the unions.
374
00:21:42,735 --> 00:21:45,341
No, this bombing wasn't business.
It was personal.
375
00:21:45,404 --> 00:21:49,147
That building was made to fall on the
trailer where my client was living.
376
00:21:49,208 --> 00:21:51,415
Are you rehearsing
your opening statement?
377
00:21:51,477 --> 00:21:54,924
No, I'm telling you, you're about
to commit a miscarriage of justice.
378
00:21:54,980 --> 00:21:57,119
Police ever question
Hank Chappel?
379
00:22:00,586 --> 00:22:01,826
That figures.
380
00:22:03,989 --> 00:22:07,766
I don't have time today to play What's My Line?
Who's Hank Chappel?
381
00:22:07,993 --> 00:22:09,904
He's my girlfriend's husband.
382
00:22:10,729 --> 00:22:13,801
Palley's girlfriend is married?
The police didn't tell us.
383
00:22:13,866 --> 00:22:15,368
Don't you work here, too?
384
00:22:15,434 --> 00:22:18,904
If I were Palley, I'd want to give the
jury an alternate theory of the crime.
385
00:22:18,971 --> 00:22:21,713
Blame the husband. Blame the mafia.
Blame the bogeyman.
386
00:22:21,774 --> 00:22:23,947
Now, sometimes
the bogeyman is guilty.
387
00:22:24,343 --> 00:22:27,187
The building did fall on the
trailer where Palley was living.
388
00:22:27,246 --> 00:22:28,748
We're going to look into it.
389
00:22:28,814 --> 00:22:31,420
We don't even know if this guy knew
his wife was having an affair.
390
00:22:31,484 --> 00:22:34,397
Should we start with him?
No. Start with the wife.
391
00:22:34,687 --> 00:22:38,567
Buzz said my husband did it? He
doesn't even know about me and Buzz.
392
00:22:39,058 --> 00:22:40,435
Are you sure?
393
00:22:41,026 --> 00:22:44,564
Hank's the kind of guy that if he thought
I was fooling around, he'd mention it.
394
00:22:44,630 --> 00:22:46,837
Oh, not shy about his feelings?
395
00:22:47,133 --> 00:22:49,044
Oh, I know
what you want me to say.
396
00:22:49,101 --> 00:22:52,981
Jealous, bad temper... You got
yourself a killer, right? Wrong.
397
00:22:53,172 --> 00:22:56,346
You already arrested one innocent man.
What, do you want to arrest another one?
398
00:22:56,408 --> 00:22:59,548
If your husband didn't do it,
all we want is to clear him.
399
00:22:59,612 --> 00:23:02,058
Now, where was he
the night of the bombing?
400
00:23:02,114 --> 00:23:04,060
He was home.
What, all night?
401
00:23:05,451 --> 00:23:08,694
I had a long day. I went to bed early.
I'm not sure what time he got home.
402
00:23:08,754 --> 00:23:10,028
He works late?
403
00:23:12,992 --> 00:23:15,836
If that was it, I wouldn't
have looked twice at Buzz.
404
00:23:15,895 --> 00:23:20,810
No, Hank's got himself a custom-fit
stool over at a place called Barclay's.
405
00:23:22,601 --> 00:23:25,639
Second from the end. Ever since
he moved here from Jersey.
406
00:23:25,704 --> 00:23:28,150
What about Monday night,
two weeks ago?
407
00:23:29,108 --> 00:23:31,554
Rangers played Boston at home.
He was here.
408
00:23:31,610 --> 00:23:33,146
You talking about Hank?
409
00:23:34,813 --> 00:23:36,986
Did he stay
for the post-game party?
410
00:23:37,049 --> 00:23:39,928
Look, Hank's good people. Things
just haven't been going his way.
411
00:23:39,985 --> 00:23:43,125
You mean with his wife? What are you?
Some kind of a cop?
412
00:23:43,189 --> 00:23:46,727
That isn't much of a secret, is it?
How long has he known?
413
00:23:46,992 --> 00:23:49,666
Everyone who's set foot in this bar
has known for the last two months.
414
00:23:49,728 --> 00:23:52,675
But Hank's been calming down about it.
He tells people?
415
00:23:52,731 --> 00:23:55,735
Look, you ask around, you're gonna
hear about the night he had nine 7&7s,
416
00:23:55,801 --> 00:23:58,475
and he stood on the bar and said
he was gonna shoot the guy.
417
00:23:58,537 --> 00:24:02,212
I seen that.
Someone did shoot at the guy.
418
00:24:02,341 --> 00:24:05,185
It wasn't Hank. I know bar talk,
and that was just bar talk.
419
00:24:05,244 --> 00:24:06,848
I'm telling you first.
420
00:24:07,546 --> 00:24:10,049
Three days after Hank Chappel's
outburst in the bar,
421
00:24:10,115 --> 00:24:13,528
the shots were fired into Palley's trailer.
Everyone assumed it was the union.
422
00:24:13,585 --> 00:24:16,896
Now you assume it's Chappel?
He claimed credit in advance.
423
00:24:17,022 --> 00:24:19,468
Even if he got drunk and took
a few potshots at Palley,
424
00:24:19,525 --> 00:24:21,527
it doesn't mean he came back
and blew up the building.
425
00:24:21,593 --> 00:24:25,097
For the past year, Chappel's been working
as a pick-and-shovel day laborer.
426
00:24:25,164 --> 00:24:28,839
Before that, he was certified for
demolition work with explosives.
427
00:24:29,435 --> 00:24:31,847
Suspended because
of a drinking problem.
428
00:24:32,805 --> 00:24:34,250
I don't believe this.
429
00:24:36,108 --> 00:24:37,644
Get a search warrant.
430
00:24:40,512 --> 00:24:43,618
HANK: What the hell is going on here?
This is my apartment.
431
00:24:43,716 --> 00:24:45,525
Christine, what's going on?
CLAIRE: Are you Hank Chappel?
432
00:24:45,584 --> 00:24:47,325
Yeah. We're executing
a search warrant.
433
00:24:47,386 --> 00:24:49,161
Please just sit over there
till we're done.
434
00:24:49,588 --> 00:24:50,794
LOGAN: We're done.
435
00:24:55,027 --> 00:24:58,998
.38 caliber.
Hello. How about this?
436
00:24:59,865 --> 00:25:03,438
Blasting caps, detonator cord.
His license is suspended.
437
00:25:03,502 --> 00:25:05,914
I guess he was moonlighting
on the side.
438
00:25:09,475 --> 00:25:12,012
What are you telling me?
She was sleeping around?
439
00:25:12,077 --> 00:25:15,217
Come on, Hank,
we talked to your bartender.
440
00:25:15,481 --> 00:25:19,725
You told the whole world that your wife
was sharpening somebody else's pencil.
441
00:25:20,252 --> 00:25:25,634
Well, okay, maybe I had a feeling she
was, but it wasn't that big a deal.
442
00:25:25,891 --> 00:25:28,064
Oh, so it didn't
bother you at all?
443
00:25:29,128 --> 00:25:33,736
Maybe she wasn't the only one, you know,
who's knocking one off on the side.
444
00:25:34,166 --> 00:25:36,339
You were cheating, too,
Mr. Chappel?
445
00:25:37,369 --> 00:25:38,370
Yeah.
446
00:25:39,338 --> 00:25:41,944
I mean, I figured Christine was
entitled to even the score.
447
00:25:42,007 --> 00:25:45,819
And taking potshots at Palley, is that part
of your forgive-and-forget philosophy?
448
00:25:45,878 --> 00:25:49,519
I didn't shoot at anybody.
Mr. Chappel, the ballistics laboratory
449
00:25:49,581 --> 00:25:53,028
has already matched the slugs in
Palley's trailer to your gun.
450
00:25:55,087 --> 00:25:57,363
Do you want to stop
wasting our time?
451
00:26:00,392 --> 00:26:03,373
I was drunk.
I just wanted to scare him.
452
00:26:03,929 --> 00:26:05,169
And when he didn't
take the hint,
453
00:26:05,230 --> 00:26:08,109
you thought you'd just
drop a building on his head?
454
00:26:10,469 --> 00:26:12,972
I swear on a stack
I did not set no bomb.
455
00:26:21,680 --> 00:26:25,457
Okay, we got two balls in the air.
Time to decide which one to catch.
456
00:26:25,584 --> 00:26:28,929
Well, jealousy. Demolitions expert.
Took three shots at Palley.
457
00:26:29,355 --> 00:26:31,961
And Palley? Motive and
circumstantial evidence.
458
00:26:32,024 --> 00:26:36,439
Right, got it. The bomb squad matched the
detonating cord found in Hank's toolbox
459
00:26:36,495 --> 00:26:40,136
to fragments found at the scene.
Well, that's not circumstantial.
460
00:26:40,666 --> 00:26:43,169
I was due in Judge Friedman's
chambers eight minutes ago.
461
00:26:43,235 --> 00:26:45,340
I'm probably
already in contempt.
462
00:26:46,138 --> 00:26:49,119
Can anybody here make a case
for Palley over Chappel?
463
00:26:52,077 --> 00:26:53,317
Sold. Bye.
464
00:26:55,481 --> 00:26:56,619
Arrest him.
465
00:26:58,217 --> 00:26:59,890
Stand up, Mr. Chappel.
466
00:27:00,152 --> 00:27:03,929
Henry Chappel, you're under arrest for
arson and the murder of Richard Cuneo.
467
00:27:03,989 --> 00:27:06,560
You have the right to remain silent.
Anything you say can and will...
468
00:27:09,862 --> 00:27:12,399
Mr. Newbill, you're
469
00:27:13,799 --> 00:27:17,508
with the Division of Safety and Health
of the New York Department of Labor,
470
00:27:17,569 --> 00:27:20,277
which formerly licensed
Henry Chappel?
471
00:27:20,806 --> 00:27:25,186
He had a blaster's certificate. He was
qualified to handle explosives for use
472
00:27:25,244 --> 00:27:27,451
in the controlled demolitions
of structures.
473
00:27:27,513 --> 00:27:30,858
And in your opinion, would someone
with Mr. Chappel's qualifications
474
00:27:30,916 --> 00:27:34,989
have been able to construct and detonate
the bombs used in this demolition?
475
00:27:35,120 --> 00:27:37,691
Yes. Would such a person
have been able to
476
00:27:37,756 --> 00:27:40,464
detonate these bombs
in such a precise way
477
00:27:40,659 --> 00:27:44,004
that the building would have
collapsed on Mr. Palley's trailer?
478
00:27:44,062 --> 00:27:46,440
Yes.
Thank you.
479
00:27:50,669 --> 00:27:53,878
Mr. Newbill, how do people
get a blaster's certificate?
480
00:27:54,373 --> 00:27:55,943
They take an exam.
481
00:27:56,008 --> 00:27:58,750
How do they study for the exam?
They read books.
482
00:27:58,811 --> 00:28:02,759
Books on how to set off explosives?
Those would be the most useful ones.
483
00:28:02,814 --> 00:28:04,816
Isn't it possible
that any adult
484
00:28:04,883 --> 00:28:08,092
with sixth-grade reading skills
could have made this bomb?
485
00:28:08,153 --> 00:28:09,996
If they could pass the test.
486
00:28:13,992 --> 00:28:18,270
Yes. I was having an affair with Mr. Palley.
JACK: And your husband knew it?
487
00:28:18,464 --> 00:28:21,741
Objection. She cannot testify
as to what someone else knew.
488
00:28:22,267 --> 00:28:23,371
Sustained.
489
00:28:24,269 --> 00:28:27,807
Mrs. Chappel, did you ever tell your
husband that you were having an affair
490
00:28:27,873 --> 00:28:29,409
with Mr. Palley?
Objection.
491
00:28:29,475 --> 00:28:32,945
That would be a confidential communication
between a husband and wife.
492
00:28:33,011 --> 00:28:35,548
So it would, Mr. McCoy.
493
00:28:35,614 --> 00:28:38,424
So I don't have to answer?
JUDGE CAFFEY: You do not.
494
00:28:42,020 --> 00:28:43,624
All right, Mrs. Chappel,
495
00:28:44,356 --> 00:28:47,860
how long before the bombing did you
begin your affair with Mr. Palley?
496
00:28:49,995 --> 00:28:51,565
About six months.
497
00:28:51,797 --> 00:28:55,370
And how many nights a week did you
spend with him in his trailer?
498
00:28:59,304 --> 00:29:00,442
Your Honor.
499
00:29:03,876 --> 00:29:06,379
You have to answer this one,
Mrs. Chappel.
500
00:29:09,381 --> 00:29:11,987
One or two.
All night long?
501
00:29:14,987 --> 00:29:16,022
Yes.
502
00:29:16,555 --> 00:29:19,035
And your husband was
at home those nights?
503
00:29:25,731 --> 00:29:26,835
I suppose.
504
00:29:27,966 --> 00:29:31,937
So one or two nights a week for six months
your husband waited for you at home,
505
00:29:32,004 --> 00:29:34,109
but you never came? Objection.
Asked and answered.
506
00:29:34,173 --> 00:29:36,813
So unless your husband
was stupid, Mrs. Chappel,
507
00:29:36,875 --> 00:29:39,116
he had to know what was going on.
Objection!
508
00:29:42,314 --> 00:29:44,123
Withdrawn. Nothing further.
509
00:29:46,318 --> 00:29:50,198
Mr. Palley told us that he'd taken
his clothes to the laundry that day.
510
00:29:50,856 --> 00:29:53,496
And what did you make
of this explanation?
511
00:29:54,426 --> 00:29:57,032
Well, I thought it was
one coincidence too many.
512
00:29:57,095 --> 00:29:58,506
What action did you take?
513
00:29:58,563 --> 00:30:01,772
My partner and I consulted
with our supervisor
514
00:30:01,833 --> 00:30:06,077
and with Assistant District Attorney
Kincaid, and we proceeded to arrest Palley.
515
00:30:06,138 --> 00:30:08,982
At this point in time, did
you think you had your man?
516
00:30:09,041 --> 00:30:11,282
Oh, sure, but... Are you
aware of any new evidence
517
00:30:11,343 --> 00:30:13,186
that would explain away
the coincidences
518
00:30:13,245 --> 00:30:15,885
that aroused your suspicions
about Mr. Palley?
519
00:30:16,515 --> 00:30:19,018
No, I'm not.
Thank you.
520
00:30:21,853 --> 00:30:23,594
Detective Briscoe,
521
00:30:25,457 --> 00:30:27,334
before you arrested
Mr. Palley,
522
00:30:27,793 --> 00:30:33,505
did you or anyone else check to see if he had
in fact taken his clothes to the laundry?
523
00:30:34,166 --> 00:30:35,167
No.
524
00:30:37,769 --> 00:30:41,342
Did you find any bomb-making
materials in his possession?
525
00:30:43,408 --> 00:30:44,409
No.
526
00:30:44,676 --> 00:30:46,622
Before you arrested
Mr. Palley,
527
00:30:46,678 --> 00:30:50,057
were you aware that his lover,
Chris Chappel, was married?
528
00:30:51,083 --> 00:30:52,460
No, I wasn't.
529
00:30:52,517 --> 00:30:54,463
You didn't bother to find out?
530
00:30:54,720 --> 00:30:58,691
Since we already had a viable
suspect, it didn't seem pertinent.
531
00:30:58,757 --> 00:31:00,828
Does it seem pertinent now?
532
00:31:02,594 --> 00:31:05,473
Yes. In retrospect,
Detective Briscoe,
533
00:31:06,365 --> 00:31:10,177
is it fair to say that the arrest
of Mr. Palley was premature?
534
00:31:13,071 --> 00:31:14,573
I suppose so.
535
00:31:15,273 --> 00:31:16,650
No more questions.
536
00:31:18,243 --> 00:31:21,349
I knew about her and Palley,
but that was ending.
537
00:31:21,413 --> 00:31:23,552
She and I
were working things out.
538
00:31:23,615 --> 00:31:26,960
If you were working things out, why
did you fire a gun at Mr. Palley?
539
00:31:27,019 --> 00:31:30,057
I didn't fire at him. If I
had I wouldn't have missed.
540
00:31:31,623 --> 00:31:34,502
I'd had a few drinks.
I was letting off some steam.
541
00:31:34,960 --> 00:31:38,134
So maybe you had a few more
drinks, let off more steam
542
00:31:38,196 --> 00:31:39,368
and bombed that building.
543
00:31:39,431 --> 00:31:42,344
Look, that was precision
demolition work, all right?
544
00:31:42,534 --> 00:31:44,639
I would have had to be
cold sober to do it.
545
00:31:44,703 --> 00:31:48,082
And I wasn't cold sober
very much around that time.
546
00:31:49,041 --> 00:31:53,353
Mr. Chappel, did you dynamite that
building at 435 Church Street?
547
00:31:53,412 --> 00:31:57,019
No. I never would.
I didn't have any reason to.
548
00:31:57,516 --> 00:31:58,620
Thank you.
549
00:32:03,655 --> 00:32:06,795
Mr. Chappel, what happened
to your blasting certificate?
550
00:32:07,592 --> 00:32:09,162
It was suspended.
551
00:32:09,394 --> 00:32:10,498
And why was that?
552
00:32:10,996 --> 00:32:13,442
I showed up at a job site
after I'd been drinking.
553
00:32:13,498 --> 00:32:16,377
And what happened? The GC
asked me to leave the site.
554
00:32:16,935 --> 00:32:18,380
And what happened next?
555
00:32:19,204 --> 00:32:20,740
We had an argument.
556
00:32:21,339 --> 00:32:23,979
I hit him.
He called the police.
557
00:32:24,075 --> 00:32:25,349
I see.
558
00:32:25,410 --> 00:32:29,415
You said when you fired your gun at
Mr. Palley, you missed on purpose.
559
00:32:29,481 --> 00:32:31,654
That's right. Even though
you'd been drinking?
560
00:32:31,717 --> 00:32:35,597
Right. If you could fire
a .38 caliber pistol
561
00:32:35,654 --> 00:32:40,103
with precision when you'd been drinking,
why couldn't you rig dynamite?
562
00:32:40,292 --> 00:32:43,569
It's not the same thing. But
you're a demolitions expert.
563
00:32:44,429 --> 00:32:46,966
You could have rigged that bomb
blindfolded, couldn't you?
564
00:32:47,032 --> 00:32:50,036
I don't know. I don't even
know how it was rigged.
565
00:32:50,135 --> 00:32:54,242
So if it had been a simple bomb,
then you could have rigged it drunk?
566
00:32:54,573 --> 00:32:56,610
Maybe. I didn't do it.
567
00:32:59,511 --> 00:33:01,115
Do you love your wife?
568
00:33:04,850 --> 00:33:05,851
Yeah.
569
00:33:05,951 --> 00:33:09,763
So how did you feel when you thought
about her being with Buzz Palley?
570
00:33:11,623 --> 00:33:12,727
I didn't think about it.
571
00:33:12,791 --> 00:33:15,863
You didn't think about it
the night you fired your gun?
572
00:33:17,029 --> 00:33:20,704
It didn't come to mind all those
nights your wife didn't come home?
573
00:33:22,734 --> 00:33:25,772
I thought about how we were
gonna work things out.
574
00:33:25,837 --> 00:33:29,580
Sure. Just as soon as Buzz Palley got
tired of having your wife in his bed.
575
00:33:30,509 --> 00:33:33,217
Didn't you wish he was dead?
Of course I did!
576
00:33:37,682 --> 00:33:39,559
But I didn't kill him.
577
00:33:39,618 --> 00:33:41,825
No. But you tried.
578
00:33:52,931 --> 00:33:55,411
JUDGE CAFFEY: Mr. Foreman, has
the jury reached a verdict?
579
00:33:55,467 --> 00:33:56,844
Yes, we have, Your Honor.
580
00:33:56,902 --> 00:34:01,009
On the first count of the indictment, arson
in the first degree, how do you find?
581
00:34:01,072 --> 00:34:03,609
We find the defendant,
Henry Chappel, guilty.
582
00:34:04,743 --> 00:34:08,088
On the second count, murder in the
second degree, how do you find?
583
00:34:08,146 --> 00:34:10,683
We find the defendant,
Henry Chappel, guilty.
584
00:34:22,694 --> 00:34:24,799
You wanna celebrate
with a drink?
585
00:34:25,197 --> 00:34:28,701
Okay, sure. If you're buying.
586
00:34:29,134 --> 00:34:32,946
Counselors. Going out to dance
on Hank Chappel's grave?
587
00:34:34,873 --> 00:34:37,444
I'm sorry about the
cross-examination, Detective.
588
00:34:37,509 --> 00:34:40,046
I just had to rule out
Palley as a suspect.
589
00:34:40,111 --> 00:34:42,955
Hey, no problem. They pay me
plenty to look like an idiot.
590
00:34:43,014 --> 00:34:46,120
It wasn't personal. I know,
but it got me thinking.
591
00:34:52,457 --> 00:34:55,666
Palley says he avoided getting
killed when the bomb went off
592
00:34:55,727 --> 00:34:57,331
because he was out
taking a walk.
593
00:34:57,396 --> 00:34:59,899
It sounded bogus,
but coincidences do happen.
594
00:34:59,965 --> 00:35:03,105
Yeah, but if he was taking a walk,
how come he never came back?
595
00:35:03,168 --> 00:35:05,614
I checked the reports of all the
officers who were at the scene.
596
00:35:05,670 --> 00:35:08,844
Palley showed up at 6:30 a.m.,
his usual starting time.
597
00:35:09,141 --> 00:35:13,487
So either he walked to Paramus, or
he knew the building was gonna blow.
598
00:35:13,778 --> 00:35:15,951
Because he was the one
who blew it.
599
00:35:19,517 --> 00:35:21,588
Nobody noticed this before?
600
00:35:22,120 --> 00:35:25,067
Nobody thought about it that night.
Palley wasn't a suspect.
601
00:35:27,626 --> 00:35:31,438
He could have come running back from his
walk and said he'd just heard the explosion.
602
00:35:31,496 --> 00:35:34,033
He didn't wanna have to tell us
that he was living in the trailer.
603
00:35:34,099 --> 00:35:36,170
That would have made him
a suspect.
604
00:35:36,234 --> 00:35:39,181
So he set the bomb, grabbed
his stuff and walked away?
605
00:35:39,237 --> 00:35:40,841
And never looked back.
606
00:35:42,574 --> 00:35:46,613
You know, in retrospect,
it does seem fair to say
607
00:35:46,678 --> 00:35:49,989
that the prosecution of
Mr. Chappel was premature.
608
00:35:56,354 --> 00:36:00,097
Look, this doesn't prove anything.
No.
609
00:36:03,762 --> 00:36:07,676
But I don't feel like
celebrating yet.
610
00:36:10,602 --> 00:36:16,382
You got a conviction. Some cop trying
to save his reputation is not evidence.
611
00:36:16,541 --> 00:36:18,316
Well, we're trying to get some.
612
00:36:18,376 --> 00:36:20,879
We got a wiretap on Chris
Chappel's phone all weekend.
613
00:36:20,946 --> 00:36:24,655
So you think it was her and Palley?
What Briscoe said makes sense.
614
00:36:25,984 --> 00:36:28,521
If Palley was telling the truth, he
would have shown up at the scene
615
00:36:28,586 --> 00:36:30,224
a few minutes
after the explosion.
616
00:36:30,288 --> 00:36:33,861
And Mrs. Chappel had access to her
husband's demolition supplies.
617
00:36:34,025 --> 00:36:35,971
Yep, husband had to know that.
618
00:36:36,661 --> 00:36:38,538
If he didn't make the bomb,
619
00:36:38,597 --> 00:36:42,374
why couldn't he have pointed a finger
at his wife when you arrested him?
620
00:36:42,434 --> 00:36:43,606
Denial? Love?
621
00:36:44,536 --> 00:36:47,710
Maybe he was covering for her.
While he takes the fall?
622
00:36:48,340 --> 00:36:52,618
This guy's better than Romeo and Juliet.
What are you getting from the wiretap?
623
00:36:53,011 --> 00:36:56,618
Chris and Palley have talked three times
about dinner plans, not dynamite.
624
00:36:56,681 --> 00:36:58,160
Well, that's progress.
625
00:36:58,216 --> 00:37:00,787
And the surveillance warrant
expires in 14 hours.
626
00:37:00,852 --> 00:37:02,490
So shake them up.
627
00:37:03,755 --> 00:37:05,359
You got her number?
628
00:37:08,827 --> 00:37:11,364
CHRIS ON TAPE: That DA called,
he told me to come in, Buzz.
629
00:37:11,429 --> 00:37:13,409
PALLEY: Just calm down.
630
00:37:13,465 --> 00:37:16,275
Why would he call?
He's got to know something.
631
00:37:16,334 --> 00:37:17,904
Hank's been convicted.
632
00:37:18,370 --> 00:37:21,044
Thank God, but if they
find out what happened...
633
00:37:21,106 --> 00:37:26,112
Don't worry, they don't know anything.
Have a drink. I'll see you later.
634
00:37:28,213 --> 00:37:33,060
That's the end of the tape. And the warrant.
Add that to Palley's stack of lies.
635
00:37:33,485 --> 00:37:35,522
And his mystery walk
to nowhere.
636
00:37:37,355 --> 00:37:38,527
Arrest them.
637
00:37:41,059 --> 00:37:45,508
Pardon my ignorance, but isn't my client's
husband already in jail for this crime?
638
00:37:45,864 --> 00:37:50,335
Yeah, because he was framed. PENCE:
Last week you said he was guilty.
639
00:37:50,635 --> 00:37:54,173
We stand corrected. Actually,
Mr. McCoy, you stand nowhere.
640
00:37:55,006 --> 00:37:56,917
First, you've convicted
someone else,
641
00:37:56,975 --> 00:38:00,047
which is a hell of a burden to
overcome in bringing a new charge.
642
00:38:00,111 --> 00:38:03,524
Second, your tape recording
is ambiguous at best.
643
00:38:04,249 --> 00:38:07,287
And finally, no jury is ever
going to hear it, anyway.
644
00:38:09,421 --> 00:38:11,423
It's a joint motion
to suppress.
645
00:38:12,290 --> 00:38:13,598
This meeting is over.
646
00:38:15,860 --> 00:38:19,808
The application for the warrant is
insufficient on its face, Your Honor.
647
00:38:23,468 --> 00:38:26,472
Well, perhaps I've been at this too
long, but this looks fine to me.
648
00:38:26,538 --> 00:38:29,144
A list of alleged lies
by Mr. Palley,
649
00:38:29,341 --> 00:38:32,845
detonator cord found in
Mrs. Chappel's apartment...
650
00:38:33,445 --> 00:38:36,483
Judge Finkel found it met the
threshold of probable cause.
651
00:38:36,548 --> 00:38:39,154
It's not my place to... HARTMAN:
Begging Your Honor's pardon,
652
00:38:39,217 --> 00:38:42,892
the issue is not what's included in
the District Attorney's affidavit,
653
00:38:42,954 --> 00:38:44,456
but rather what's omitted.
654
00:38:44,522 --> 00:38:48,402
Specifically, that another man had
already been convicted of the crime.
655
00:38:49,994 --> 00:38:52,736
Is that so? The Church
Street bombing, Your Honor.
656
00:38:52,797 --> 00:38:55,277
This is that case?
The history is irrelevant.
657
00:38:55,333 --> 00:38:57,813
The itemized evidence was
sufficient for these defendants.
658
00:38:57,869 --> 00:38:59,041
That's all that's required.
659
00:38:59,104 --> 00:39:00,242
HARTMAN: Irrelevant?
660
00:39:00,405 --> 00:39:04,615
That the jury found someone guilty of
a felony beyond a reasonable doubt
661
00:39:04,676 --> 00:39:08,453
necessarily negates the presumption
that someone else probably did it.
662
00:39:08,713 --> 00:39:11,956
At a minimum, it should have
been included in the equation.
663
00:39:12,250 --> 00:39:15,663
The issuing judge found the
application satisfactory, Your Honor.
664
00:39:15,720 --> 00:39:19,133
Well, it doesn't satisfy me.
The tape is excluded.
665
00:39:20,191 --> 00:39:22,467
We ran into
some damn good lawyering.
666
00:39:22,527 --> 00:39:25,167
Without the tape, there's no point
in even going to a grand jury.
667
00:39:25,230 --> 00:39:26,334
Wonderful.
668
00:39:26,865 --> 00:39:29,869
We've got a truckload of
evidence against an innocent man
669
00:39:29,934 --> 00:39:32,210
and zip against
the people who did it.
670
00:39:32,270 --> 00:39:36,150
In the future, if we ever go to trial again,
maybe we ought to know what we're doing.
671
00:39:36,207 --> 00:39:40,587
The standard for conviction is reasonable
doubt, not absolute certainty.
672
00:39:40,712 --> 00:39:44,319
Hank Chappel will be happy to know that.
Get the guy out of jail.
673
00:39:46,684 --> 00:39:50,427
Let me get this straight. You want
me to undo a jury conviction?
674
00:39:51,189 --> 00:39:52,224
The jury was wrong.
675
00:39:52,290 --> 00:39:54,668
Somebody commit perjury?
No.
676
00:39:54,726 --> 00:39:57,366
Was evidence wrongfully admitted?
No.
677
00:39:57,429 --> 00:40:00,376
Did I commit reversible error?
No, Your Honor.
678
00:40:00,431 --> 00:40:03,241
Twelve reasonable people sat
in the jury box.
679
00:40:03,468 --> 00:40:06,881
They listened to the evidence which
you so articulately presented
680
00:40:06,938 --> 00:40:11,409
over the course of eight days. After
16 hours of thoughtful deliberation,
681
00:40:11,476 --> 00:40:13,649
they decided
in their heart of hearts
682
00:40:13,711 --> 00:40:16,920
that Hank Chappel deserves to spend
the rest of his life in prison.
683
00:40:16,981 --> 00:40:18,654
Who are we to argue?
684
00:40:18,716 --> 00:40:21,060
The problem is
that Hank Chappel is innocent.
685
00:40:21,119 --> 00:40:25,659
The problem is that you changed your mind.
But you're the prosecutor, not the jury.
686
00:40:25,724 --> 00:40:28,898
So what you think doesn't count.
This is absurd.
687
00:40:28,960 --> 00:40:33,500
This is the American system of justice,
and I believe in it. Don't you?
688
00:40:34,332 --> 00:40:36,505
You want me to release
Mr. Chappel?
689
00:40:37,035 --> 00:40:41,211
Find reversible error in the trial
transcript or prove to another jury
690
00:40:41,339 --> 00:40:43,876
that somebody else
committed the crime.
691
00:40:51,649 --> 00:40:54,095
The only way
we can get Chappel released
692
00:40:54,152 --> 00:40:56,826
is to prove his wife and
Palley committed the crime.
693
00:40:58,556 --> 00:41:01,901
Which we can't do
because we convicted Chappel.
694
00:41:03,061 --> 00:41:04,836
Joseph Heller
would love this one.
695
00:41:04,896 --> 00:41:08,434
The cornerstone of the system is that it
is better for 10 guilty men to go free
696
00:41:08,500 --> 00:41:10,741
than for one innocent man
to go to jail.
697
00:41:10,802 --> 00:41:13,715
Someone should tell that
to Judge Caffey. I tried.
698
00:41:14,772 --> 00:41:17,981
He believes in juries.
Well, juries make mistakes.
699
00:41:20,445 --> 00:41:23,654
Then why is it that I feel like we're the
ones who've been making all the mistakes
700
00:41:23,715 --> 00:41:25,194
around here lately?
701
00:41:31,089 --> 00:41:33,194
Maybe we should make
another one.
702
00:41:33,658 --> 00:41:37,629
That tape of Chris Chappel and Palley...
Yeah, what about it? It's dead.
703
00:41:37,796 --> 00:41:40,436
What if we change our theory
of what it means?
704
00:41:40,532 --> 00:41:45,140
What if Mrs. Chappel was talking about
having committed the crime not with Palley,
705
00:41:45,203 --> 00:41:48,116
but with her husband.
You believe that?
706
00:41:50,008 --> 00:41:53,251
If it were true, the tape would
be admissible against her.
707
00:41:54,546 --> 00:41:57,857
Her husband's conviction wouldn't
hurt us, it would help us.
708
00:41:58,116 --> 00:42:01,893
The fact that a husband has been convicted
of a crime increases the probable cause
709
00:42:01,953 --> 00:42:03,762
that his wife was involved.
710
00:42:03,855 --> 00:42:07,462
So we argue a theory we know is
wrong to convict the right person?
711
00:42:07,525 --> 00:42:09,027
Who says it's wrong?
712
00:42:10,762 --> 00:42:13,743
The jury that convicted
Hank Chappel says it's right.
713
00:42:15,833 --> 00:42:17,574
Get Mrs. Chappel in here.
714
00:42:23,675 --> 00:42:26,656
PALLEY: Hank's been convicted.
CHRIS: Thank God,
715
00:42:26,911 --> 00:42:29,084
but if they find out
what happened...
716
00:42:29,714 --> 00:42:33,685
Very nice, but it's been excluded.
That's because we misinterpreted it.
717
00:42:34,586 --> 00:42:38,193
What happened is your client committed
the crime with her husband.
718
00:42:38,823 --> 00:42:41,633
Nothing like changing horses
in mid-stream, Jack.
719
00:42:41,860 --> 00:42:44,670
I'm the first one to admit
when I make a mistake.
720
00:42:45,363 --> 00:42:47,741
All I have to do
is admit it to a judge,
721
00:42:47,865 --> 00:42:50,675
and the jury's gonna hear
Mrs. Chappel's confession.
722
00:42:50,735 --> 00:42:55,184
Oh, come on. Her statement is open
to a million interpretations.
723
00:42:55,340 --> 00:42:57,877
Maybe. But we have
a corroborating witness.
724
00:42:59,577 --> 00:43:03,719
You think Buzz is gonna testify? JACK:
She's not referring to Mr. Palley.
725
00:43:03,781 --> 00:43:06,159
She's talking about
your husband. Remember him?
726
00:43:09,988 --> 00:43:11,433
Hank won't lie about me.
727
00:43:13,157 --> 00:43:14,500
Show him in.
728
00:43:19,197 --> 00:43:20,198
CHRISTINE: Hank.
729
00:43:21,399 --> 00:43:22,673
Christine.
730
00:43:25,536 --> 00:43:27,106
I heard the tape.
731
00:43:29,040 --> 00:43:32,749
We're going to get you out of here. I've
got a lawyer who says he'll appeal.
732
00:43:32,810 --> 00:43:38,522
Christine, I'm in for 25 years
and nobody is getting me out.
733
00:43:38,850 --> 00:43:41,694
You put him on the stand, Jack,
and you're suborning perjury.
734
00:43:41,753 --> 00:43:45,030
A jury convicted him. As far
as I'm concerned, he's guilty.
735
00:43:45,890 --> 00:43:48,598
And he certainly knows
who his accomplices are.
736
00:43:49,727 --> 00:43:52,264
I'm gonna tell them
you were in it with me.
737
00:43:53,031 --> 00:43:57,878
But, Hank, you know that isn't true.
True?
738
00:44:02,173 --> 00:44:04,210
I know what's true
739
00:44:05,843 --> 00:44:08,790
and it's...
740
00:44:13,751 --> 00:44:19,258
Why did you do this to me?
Why did you do this to me?
741
00:44:19,991 --> 00:44:20,992
HANK: Why?
742
00:44:34,238 --> 00:44:35,808
What are you offering, Jack?
743
00:44:37,942 --> 00:44:39,683
What does she have to say?
744
00:44:46,684 --> 00:44:47,856
It was Buzz.
745
00:44:50,788 --> 00:44:54,497
He was desperate. It was either blow
up the building or go bankrupt.
746
00:44:56,294 --> 00:44:57,773
I got him the cord.
747
00:45:00,832 --> 00:45:02,140
(CRYING)
748
00:45:02,200 --> 00:45:06,307
We never thought
anyone would be there. God.
749
00:45:07,872 --> 00:45:09,249
And your husband?
750
00:45:13,711 --> 00:45:16,021
Just off somewhere drinking,
as usual.
751
00:45:24,689 --> 00:45:27,226
Arson two, man one.
752
00:45:28,659 --> 00:45:29,660
Ten years.
753
00:45:31,863 --> 00:45:32,864
God.
754
00:45:40,772 --> 00:45:43,309
Judge Caffey signed
Hank Chappel's release order.
755
00:45:43,374 --> 00:45:46,253
And Palley's lawyer called.
He wants to talk deal.
756
00:45:48,112 --> 00:45:50,956
The hell with him.
He can do 25-to-life.
757
00:45:54,318 --> 00:45:56,821
So you got the wrong man,
then you got the right one.
758
00:45:56,888 --> 00:45:58,060
One for two.
759
00:45:59,857 --> 00:46:02,497
My batting average
should be better than that.
760
00:46:02,794 --> 00:46:07,607
You make big decisions in a hurry. Then you
press too hard. That's part of your job.
761
00:46:08,366 --> 00:46:12,746
With the fringe benefit that from time to
time we convict someone who's innocent?
762
00:46:12,970 --> 00:46:15,883
It could be better. We could
have the death penalty.
763
