NARRATOR:
In the criminal justice system

the people are represented by two
separate yet equally important groups,

the police
who investigate crime

and the district attorneys
who prosecute the offenders.

These are their stories.

Ten bucks says
he's drunk.

Yeah?

Twenty bucks says he's a rich guy
who drives like a douche bag.

(INDISTINCT CHATTER
ON POLICE RADIO)

License and registration.

Yeah, I sort of jumped that red
light back there. No harm.

Sir, have you been
drinking tonight?

No.

I had a glass of wine
a few hours ago. I'm fine.

Turn off the ignition and
step out of the car, sir.

Look, you probably don't recognize me.
I'm Mitch Carroll.

You know who I am.

Out of the vehicle, sir.
Now.

I spilled a whole carafe
of wine at dinner.

Yeah. That don't look
like wine to me.

Turn around. Put your
hands on the car.

Oh, don't be ridiculous.
That's not...

What are you doing?
Come on!

Are you carrying
any drugs? Weapons?

Shove it!

OFFICER SIMONE:
Central, 39-Adam.

We got one under for DWI
at Greenwich and Murray.

Requesting a supervisor
on scene.

DISPATCHER:
10-4. Supervisor en route.

(DOOR OPENING)

Mr. Carroll, I'm Detective Cassady.
Why don't you take a seat?

Look. Take the cuffs off.

And let me out of this
godforsaken rat's nest, damn it.

You don't have
the warrants to hold me.

You blew a .13. You've been
placed under arrest for DWI.

Screw you, sugar tits!

I have powerful friends who will
crucify you and your people

for even putting
your hands on me.

Can you hear that
behind the mirror?

Look, you don't have
a scratch on you,

so that's someone else's
blood you're wearing.

Now, if that person is hurt and needs
medical attention, we need to know now.

If there has
been an accident...

Are you a Jew?

You're a Jew, right?

I should have known they'd stick
me in a room with a Jew cop.

I'm not talking
to a Jew!

I know the law
as good as any...

Does he know he has the
right to remain silent?

I Mirandized him myself.

I am gonna personally
destroy you.

Your sad little world's
turning into shambles.

Because I'm gonna
have you fired.

Fired and tossed out
on your ass.

Jew cop!

Make sure you write down
everything he says.

The amount of blood
he was wearing, Inspector.

There's no doubt
in my mind

we're looking at
foul play here.

Well, how do the
anti-Semitic remarks fit in?

They were unprovoked.

I mean, the dude
was pretty intoxicated.

So, it might have been
the booze talking.

I think maybe the booze
was speaking from the heart.

Inflammatory stuff,
especially in this town.

Well, it's a little early
to worry

about how this is
gonna play in the papers.

I mean, Carroll hasn't
even been booked yet.

DCPI has already gotten calls
about the arrest.

Look, I don't want
this investigation derailed

because of undue
public scrutiny.

Sir, we're moving
as fast as we can on this.

We've already
dumped his phone.

His car and his clothes are
being examined as we speak.

Good. In the meantime, I want
you to write another report.

This time, without
the incendiary comments

or mention of
the bloody clothes.

Uh, with all due respect, Inspector,
I don't feel comfortable with that.

The official report containing the redacted
comments will be locked in my safe.

Let the sanitized
DD-5 leak.

I want the official one
included in the case file

when it goes to
the grand jury.

Of course.

If it goes.

Now, find the crime,
Detective, and do it fast.

Copies of both reports
go in my files, too.

You locked me in this room
for an hour like an animal!

You work for
leeches, Detective.

They suck the money out of this
town, they send it to Israel

so they can make
bombs and matzo!

Mr. Carroll,
you'd better calm down.

We have a court order to collect
a blood sample from you.

I already peed
in a cup, pal.

Sit down.

You sit down
or I'll sit you down.

I've done nothing wrong,

and they'll arrest
anybody they want.

The Jews are always
playing the victim.

But all this time, I'm the
one who's been victimized.

Would you tell him
to shut up?

Mr. Carroll,
shut up. Please.

I want to call my son.
Later.

No, no. Look. John's only 14
years old, he's home alone.

I gotta tell him where I am.

After Nurse Esposito takes the blood
sample, then we'll check in on your son.

Oh, God.

(SOBBING) Oh, God.

Tell my son I'm screwed.

(SOBBING) Oh.

JOHN: Did my dad
do something wrong?

Well, that's what
we're trying to figure out.

John, maybe you can help your dad
by answering some of our questions.

Yeah, sure.

Did your dad come home
last night?

I don't know.
I was asleep.

We checked his phone.
He called here.

Oh, yeah. He did. A couple of times.
He woke me up.

ED: What did he say?

Just that he'd be back a
little later than he planned.

Do you know where
your dad went last night?

I don't know.
He just said he was going out.

It's no big deal. I'm usually asleep
by the time he comes home anyway.

Where's your mother?

They're divorced.
She lives in Brooklyn.

(CELL PHONE RINGING)

ED: Green.

John, does your dad
have a girlfriend?

No.

Anyone he dates
now and then?

I don't think so.

Okay. It was Beck.
CSU's done with the car.

Sol lifted a bunch of prints
from the vehicle, but...

Right. That could be any parking
attendant in Midtown. Be specific, Beck.

Keep your pants on.

Now, I Luminoled the entire
car, inside and out,

and I found this.

Trace blood
in the trunk here.

Now, the stain pattern
suggests indirect contact,

like seepage
through a sheet, maybe?

So, he wrapped
the victim up first?

Yeah, which would explain why we
couldn't find any hairs or fibers.

Oh, and I found one other
piece of evidence.

"Novocaine."
It's a new hot-spot in Soho.

Yeah. Carroll had his car
cleaned on a regular basis,

so he could have
hit that spot recently.

Well done.
Thanks.

Mitch was here from
8:00 to 12:30 last night.

You seem pretty sure
of those times.

No. My shift ended at one. I
was hoping he'd stick around.

You talked to him?

Yeah.
What a sweetheart.

And so funny
and genuine.

You know, he doesn't even
like being famous.

ED: Was he by himself?

Yeah. I thought he could use some company.
He seemed a little down.

Did he hook up?
Leave with somebody?

No. There were a couple girls making
moves, but he didn't seem interested.

Any reason
he left when he did?

Yeah. He said his son
was home alone.

And Mitch wanted
to check on him.

It's sweet.

Whatever happened last night went
down after you left the bar.

And I told you,
I don't remember.

You called home three times which hit
three cell towers around the city.

Which means you drove
around Manhattan

for an hour and a half before
the police stopped you.

Now, you must have
been doing something.

What is this? I mean, why
don't you people believe me?

I told you, I don't remember a
thing about last night, damn it.

Are you just saying that because you
don't want to talk to a Jew cop?

What?

"Detective Sugar Tits"?

"Jews control the world"?
Any of that ring a bell?

I never said those things.

She's Irish, by the way.

In case you want to get
something else off your chest.

(sums)

Well, alcohol, you know.

(STUTTERING) I get insomnia from alcohol.
Maybe I took a...

A sleeping pill
on the way home.

I left the bar.
I woke up in jail.

Now, he slept through
the whole thing.

I do not remember a thing
about last night. I swear.

Now, I think it's time that
I spoke with my attorney.

(KNOCK AT DOOR)

Lieutenant says somebody
called in a body.

The DOA is a female, white.

Single gunshot wound to the
neck, through and through.

No round, no shells.

Look like a dump job?

Good guess.
How'd you know?

Our suspect's phone hit a cell
tower about four blocks from here.

Who called it in?

A couple of
sanitation workers.

ED: Well, that's not a whole lot of blood
on the ground. She was definitely dumped.

No ID, no purse.
Her clothing's intact.

They tried to make it look
like it was a robbery.

You find a bloody sheet
around here?

Like something
she was wrapped in?

Egyptian cotton,
high thread count.

It was stuffed beneath the sofa.
I already vouchered it.

Found this in the dumpster
over there.

Cash, credit cards
still here.

Danielle Hertzberg.
She's Jewish.

The victim's lock was intact.
So Carroll got let in,

he pulls his gun.

Maybe Danielle
goes for the phone.

Makes sense, because he
dropped her right here.

The wound was
through and through.

Yeah. here. I dug this
out of the cabinet.

Nine millimeter.
It's in good shape, too.

Yeah. Now all you gotta do
is find the gun. (CHUCKLES)

Neighbor upstairs was at his
girlfriend's last night.

Downstairs
is a photographer.

Super says she's been in L.A.
the last six weeks.

So nobody
heard anything.

Or saw anything. Ground floor
has an exit to an alley.

Well, that would make it
easy to get the body out.

Yeah.

Here's her Blackberry,
Detective.

Thank you.

Any appointments?

She was to have dinner last
night with a Don Hamilton.

"In the Soup Entertainment."

We're developing a pilot together.
My God, I can't believe this.

Was Mitch
up for a role?

I thought he'd be great to play Frank,
the burned-out thoracic surgeon.

Danielle didn't want to
work with him again.

Did Carroll know that?

Oh, God. Do you really think that was it?
Could he've been that desperate?

DON: (SIGHS) I talked
to his agent last week.

I thought some gentle prodding in
Danielle's direction might melt some ice.

Were you aware that he'd been
calling her recently?

Oh, yeah. She gave me an earful
about going on behind her back.

Last night, we agreed
he was out of contention.

What time
did she leave dinner?

EaHy.Ten. I met some friends
for drinks afterwards.

God, I should have
taken Danielle home.

Any idea what
her issues were with him?

She never gave me
a straight answer.

All I know is something
happened on the show.

Whatever it was,
it must have been ugly.

Carroll hasn't had serious
work in two years.

Every other actor from 25 to Life
moved on to bigger and better things.

Think any of them
might know what happened?

Bobby Gold. Golden boy
was Danielle's favorite.

Of course
I know what happened.

Me and that no-talent hack
threw down over it.

It was the final wrap
party for the show.

Carroll was drunk,

blaming everyone
for why we got axed.

Danielle pulled him aside,
told him to chill.

He said the reason
the show was cancelled

was because
no one wanted to watch

a rat Jew bastard
like me.

I went for blood,
I'm telling you.

Well, that's
understandable.

No, it was the culmination
of six years of knocks.

Of bad Jewish jokes.

Greeting me with shalom
every time I saw him.

You know, like white guys who
use the "n" word, you know?

Now, did word get around
that this was happening?

What do you think?

Who do you think runs the
studios, networks, all of it?

Well, we don't know that kind of stuff.
So, tell us.

Look, it's true. I got off 25
to Life and jumped to movies.

And it wasn't because
of some dumb sitcom.

Danielle opened doors
for one of her own.

And closed them
on Carroll.

I know she called every producer
and network executive she knew

and told them
what Carroll said.

My client drank alcohol
and took Zoldifen,

a powerful sleeping pill.

I'm confident the analysis of
his blood will confirm it.

I find it hard to believe that
he killed someone in his sleep.

He had nothing to do with
the death of that woman.

Tell them
what you told me.

(SIGHS) Okay.

Danielle and I talked
a few times this past week.

I wanted a part
in her new pilot.

We had a long and
fruitful discussion about

how I'd hurt
her feelings.

And I made amends.

You're lying, Mr. Carroll.

(slsl-ls) All right.

Look, I'm broke.

I needed the work.

I begged her like a dog till she
agreed to let me read for the part.

She said she had to go out and that I should
come back later to pick up the sides.

What time did you go there?

I went back somewhere around,
like, 1:00, I think.

And the door was open.

Iwalked in

and

Danielle was lying
on the kitchen floor.

And there was, you know,
blood everywhere.

So, you wrapped her
in a sheet,

mopped up a pool of blood and
snuck her out to your car?

Look, I get paranoid
when I drink.

Everybody knows
what I said to her,

and they're all gonna think
I did it. That's all.

Drop the felony DWI, he pleads
to Improper Disposal of a Body.

Danielle Hertzberg
told her producing partner

that Mr. Carroll was out of
contention for the role.

I'm telling you people
what happened here.

I don't know who killed Danielle. I didn't.
I don't know. I swear.

(DOOR BUZZING OPEN)

Bachelor pad of
the rich and famous.

He's gonna love
our redecorating.

Hey, the warrant is
for his computer, too.

Oh, yeah.

Anine millimeter.

It's been fired
recently, too. Hey.

Voucher this.
Get it to Ballistics.

Tell them to match it
to the bullet

we pulled from the victim's apartment.
Okay? Priority.

Hey, Ed?
Have you heard of this?

I saw them on CNN. They're pop
stars of the Aryan Nation.

Oh, wow.

So hate
runs in the family.

I just found a gun.

That kid could have
easily had access to it.

He's staying with his mother.
Let's go.

ED: We found Danielle Hertzberg's
blood on your sneakers, John.

(GASPS) You can't
be serious.

It was a solid match,
Mrs. Carroll.

You weren't home that night
when you said you were.

Were you, John?

Answer the question.

Was your father
involved in this?

I want you to
tell the truth now, John.

Shut up, Mom!

No, you don't! You've never
wanted to know the truth!

What does that mean?

That the Jews
run everything.

They control all the
money, all the jobs.

Think they own
this city.

That's why Dad
hasn't worked.

They hate him
'cause he's not one of them.

Did you kill her, John?

Damn right.

MRS. CARROLL: Oh, my God.

CASSADY: What happened?

I took his gun,

waited for her on the
stairs in her building,

when she came home,
I followed her inside.

Only needed one shot
to put her down.

Damn.

Did your father
tell you to do this?

No.

How did he know
about it, then?

I told him
when he came home.

And what did he do?

He freaked out.

Then he said it was gonna be
okay, and if anyone asked

I was home all night.

Then he left.

Why did you do this, John?

I stood up for my father!
For my race!

Oh, my God. I can't believe
this is happening.

What are you crying about?
She was just some Jew bitch.

(MRS. CARROLL SOBBING)

We're gonna need a lawyer.

You just be quiet, now.
Please be quiet now. Please.

"Docket number 37906.

�People against
Mitch Carroll.

"Hindering Prosecution
in the First Degree.

"Tampering with
Physical Evidence."

Mr. Rosenthal. You're
here from Los Angeles?

Anything for a good
friend and client.

Mr. Carroll pleads
not guilty.

The defendant tried to cover up a hate
murder in which he may be implicated.

That's a lie.

Not only is that patently false.
It's appalling, Your Honor.

Miss Rubirosa has just
single-handedly prejudiced my client

before the court
of public opinion.

How is Mitch Carroll going to get a
fair trial after that grandstanding?

Save the fireworks
for ajury, Mr. Rosenthal.

Bail is set at $100,000.

"Docket number 38006,

"People v. John Carroll,
Murder in the Second Degree."

We enter
a not guilty plea.

The People will be seeking a hate crime
enhancement on this. We ask remand.

You must be kidding.

He is a 14-year-old boy whose
family lives in the City.

He's hardly
a flight risk.

He confessed to breaking into
Danielle Hertzberg's apartment,

and I quote,
"Killing the Jew bitch."

He is a danger
to the community, Judge.

Remand.

Your Honor...
I said remand, Miss Bailey.

Something about that
you don't understand?

(ALL CLAMORING)

No comment.
Please excuse us.

Thank you.

You did a nice job
chumming the waters.

What? We're supposed to pull our
punches because Carroll's a celebrity?

Can I have a word
with you?

It's a little early
for plea negotiations.

You're going to try this kid as an adult?
He's barely hit puberty.

He wasn't caught vandalizing
the JCC, Justine.

He didn't become
an anti-Semite

watching Sesame Street
and playing Little League.

He is a victim of his father's hate,
just like Danielle Hertzberg.

This poison is passed down
through generations.

Unfortunately, we can't
turn back the clock.

Look. John can
still be saved.

Take him out of his father's
custody, long-term psychiatric care,

Family Court supervision. Just don't
lock him up for the rest of his life.

I'd like to hear
what he has to say

about his father's role
in the murder.

I've tried.
He won't talk about it.

Then there's nothing
to discuss.

Well, then, you'll be getting my
motion to remove this to Family Court.

Where you know
it belongs.

Why should it matter that John picked
up his hatred of Jews from his father?

We are prosecuting him on
his actions, not his words.

Not if we're seeking
an enhancement.

How can Bailey think she's gonna turn
the tables on a hate crime scenario?

We have the kid's confession.

The way I read it,

she'll try to position the father's
hate as some kind of child abuse.

Come on. You can't lay everything
on your parent's doorstep.

My father
was an Irish cop.

He'd come home from work and rant about
the blacks, Italians, Ukrainians.

When he found out I was dating Sheila
Kowalski, I got the back of his hand.

And, even still, you decided
the right thing to believe.

Despite his bigotry.

Only because
I didn't like him that much.

If I'd respected
him more,

I might have listened.

Okay. So, maybe this kid, John, was
under the control of his father.

Even so,
I don't buy it as abuse.

Aiury might.

See if there's anything
to it.

While we were still married,
it wasn't that bad.

He would point out that
someone was Jewish, you know.

And then his sitcom got
cancelled, and it changed.

He said Danielle Hertzberg
had black-listed him,

that the Jews in Hollywood
wouldn't hire him anymore.

He just became so

vitriolic.

Did you notice your son picking
up on the comments Mitch made?

There was an incident
last year.

John was on
the tennis team at school.

He got into a fight with the boy
that beat him out for first singles.

And the boy was Jewish?

John said that his Dad told him
to provoke a confrontation.

That he couldn't
let a Jew beat him.

So, John just walked over to the boy
and he punched him in the face.

They had to
wire his jaw.

But that's
not the worst part.

Afterwards,

Mitch took John out and bought
him $400 tennis racquet.

A reward?

Did your ex-husband ever say anything
directly to John about Danielle Hertzberg?

He said plenty of
awful things about her.

He didn't hold back
on John's account.

Obviously,
John got the message.

John Carroll's been in three private
schools since the sixth grade.

There have been
other incidents.

They were all
Jewish students?

Every time.

With his father cheering
him on from the sidelines

and rewarding him
when he did act.

And Carroll's
credit card records show

that they spent several afternoons
at a gun range in New Jersey.

So, it's no accident that John knew
his way around a semi-automatic.

Almost like he was being
trained for the murder.

Maybe it does pass
for child abuse.

It looks
like Carroll

manipulated an impressionable
kid to kill this woman.

Any proof the father
was directly involved?

I find it hard to believe that John did
the murder without his father's help.

Carroll had
the main motive.

He blamed the victim
for his failing career.

He even went out to a bar to establish
an alibi while his son did the crime.

Hmm. Well, you're still not gonna be able
to prove much without flipping the kid.

And that's no small feat
if he has any loyalty.

All the more reason to use as
much leverage as possible.

And what if he still doesn't
turn on his father?

He has no incentive to flip if the
case winds up in Family Court.

We're gonna threaten this kid with a
bazooka and he still might not flinch.

We try him as an adult,
he does adult time.

But dear old dad
is soot-free?

We'll take that risk.

Do what you gotta do.

BAILEY: Did your father ever convey his
attitudes about Jewish people to you, John?

Kind of. It was like,
if we ever met somebody,

then he would tell me later, "Watch out.
That guy's a Jew."

Or if we had some work done
in our apartment

and the bill was too high, my
dad would say he got "Jew-ed."

But he sent you
to a private school

with nearly half the
students being Jewish.

Dad said this was
New York City.

There would always be
a lot of Jews in the...

Especially in
the good schools.

Because most of them
are super smart.

Like, it was good to hire them to
be your lawyer or your accountant.

Nothing further.

You can cross,
Mr. McCoy,

but I'll limit you to the scope
of the statutory criteria.

Your Honor, I'm not going to attempt to
disprove the defendant's anti-Semitism.

It only supports our contention
that this is a hate crime

that deserves to be aired
before ajury in Criminal Term.

My client
was under the control

of his father's all pervasive
anti-Semitism, YourHonoL

We've submitted expert opinions
to support our claim of abuse.

There is circumstances here to warrant
this be put into Family Court.

The defendant's
now 14?

Old enough to know not to put
a bullet in a woman's neck

because she happens
to be Jewish.

JUDGE DRAKE: I have to
agree, Miss Bailey.

The hate crime aspect
is especially disturbing.

This case will go to
Part 57,

where the defendant
will be tried as an adult.

(ALL MUTTERING)

John.

I'd like to think you pushed
this to gain some leverage.

Not that you're just
completely callous.

Let's say I'm open
to discussion.

If you can convince your
client to serve up his father.

Like I have a choice?

You said I wouldn't
go to prison.

I said it was
a possibility, John.

We lost that fight.

You confessed
to the crime.

The blood on your shoes
ties you to the murder.

You're looking
at 15 years.

The hate crime enhancement
bumps it up to 20, minimum.

Or it could be
the rest of your life.

It's not fair.

I don't believe you decided to kill
Danielle Hertzberg by yourself.

You shouldn't have to carry the
burden of guilt here alone.

You want me
to betray my Dad?

Hasn't he already
betrayed you?

How many times has he even
come to see you in here, John?

We checked the visitor's log.
Not once.

JACK: You're sitting in ajail
forjuvenile offenders.

He's sleeping
in his own bed tonight

safe in the knowledge
that you're protecting him.

What's not fair is you've been
abandoned by a wretched father.

John, you need to do
what's right for yourself.

He needs to
answer for this, too.

Dad said she was the reason
he was being shut out.

He said he'd like to
see her dead.

That's why
I decided to kill her.

Did your father know
what you were planning to do?

Not exactly.

I told him

she deserved to die.

He said it would never hurt
to get rid of another Jew.

What else?

That was it.

MITCH:
I'd like to apologize again

if the statements I made hurt any
members of the Jewish faith.

These remarks do not
represent my true feelings.

I think
you know that, Barry.

They were made under the influence
of alcohol and sleep medication.

Which you admit
you abuse.

Which I'm getting help for.

And I... I...

Well, I'd like to ask for
all of your forgiveness.

I'm gonna be doing
a lot of soul searching.

I'm going to be reaching out
to my friends and colleagues

who are Jewish.
Such as yourself, Barry.

For your help
and your guidance.

Well, I appreciate the courage it
took to be here tonight, Mitch.

Thank you.
Thank you.

When we return, a tribute
to Croc Hunter Steve Irwin.

Stay with us.

(BELL RINGING)
MAN: And we're clear!

That was terrific.
Just terrific.

(GRUNTING)

MANAGER: What's going on here?
What is this?

Mitch Carroll, you're under arrest for
the murder of Danielle Hertzberg.

What?
I didn't kill anybody.

You have the right
to remain silent.

And you might want to
try that this time.

Anything you say can be used
against you in a court of law.

You have the right
to an attorney.

If you cannot afford one,
one will be provided.

You've indicted a man for accomplice
murder because he's a bigot.

Which I am not.

For the sake
of argument.

Last I checked,
our Constitution

afforded him the right
to hate anybody he wants.

I won't argue
with that.

Your client took
it a step too far.

No, his son
did that.

His son did exactly what Mr.
Carroll here, wanted him to do.

So you're gonna try to
throw some metaphor at us?

It's not about who fired the
gun, it's who loaded the bullet?

That tired rap doesn't
play anymore, Jack.

You solicited a 14-year-old boy
to use violence against Jews.

And then you pointed him directly
toward Danielle Hertzberg,

the person you blamed
for ruining your career.

Look.

John's a good boy.

But not the brightest.
Obviously.

He confused some of the things
I had said about Danielle.

You gave your son training
and easy access to a handgun.

Oh, come on.

CONNIE: The math here
is pretty simple.

So, he'll cop to
First Degree Bad Parenting.

You're bending over backwards
to say he importuned a murder.

My motion to suppress

the anti-Semitic statements Mr.
Carroll made to the police.

Contrary to popular belief,
drunks make lousy confessors.

Mr. McCoy,
I do not hate Jews.

Some of my best friends
are Jews.

The police knew my client was
under the influence, YourHonoL

And the law is clear
on the matter.

Intoxication doesn't render a statement
made to the police involuntary.

ROSENTHAL:
People v. Schompert.

Intoxication to a degree of mania
is clear grounds for suppression.

My client was under the influence
of the sleep drug Zoldifen.

He acted normal enough
at his arrest.

Excuse me.

What's normal about ranting uncontrollably
about a vast Jewish conspiracy

within the NYPD?

And this was because
of a sleeping drug?

Numerous studies have
documented bizarre behaviors

under the influence
of Zoldifen,

including binge-eating,
sleep-driving, and sleepwalking.

And in those studies, behavior was
consistently disorganized and aimless.

Mr. Carroll,
on the other hand,

disposed of a body

and had the presence of mind to try
to make it look like a robbery.

He was caught,
I might add.

His competence
is not the issue.

Enough, Counselors.

Mister Rosenthal, I've studied
the expert opinions.

L, myself, take Zoldifen
on occasion.

I'm confident that your client was perfectly
conscious when he dumped the body.

The statements are not unduly
prejudicial. TheyWein.

Then I request that you
recuse yourself, YourHonoL

Excuse me?

My client's statements
come in,

his anti-Semitism becomes
central to the People's case.

You're married to a Jew,
the former Carol Levine.

You can't possibly
maintain objectivity.

Motion denied.

Then we request
a change of venue.

This I gotta hear.

It'll be impossible for my
client to get a fair trial here.

New York is home
to almost two million Jews.

That's like trying a
gay-basher in Provincetown.

As Hank Greenberg
used to say, Counselor,

"Three strikes and you're out."
Motion denied. We're done.

Nice yarmulke.

You're pulling out
all the stops.

Damn straight.

You're acting
like a putz.

We executed a search warrant
on Mr. Carroll's home.

And under his bed, in a case,
we found a 9 mm handgun,

Glock, along
with ammunition.

Is this the gun,
Detective?

Yes. Ballistics from this gun matched
the bullet that killed Miss Hertzberg.

Please describe the condition and
access of the gun as you found it.

The gun itself had no
trigger-locks or safety features.

And in an open case
under a bed,

it was easily accessible
to anyone.

You claim Mir. Carroll made anti-Semitic
remarks while he was intoxicated.

And you noted these in your DD-5
report, marked People's 14.

Is that right?
That's correct.

Request this be introduced into
evidence as Defense Exhibit 4.

Now, I'm confused
by this completely.

There's not a single mention
of any anti-Semitic statements

made by my client
in this other DD-5.

Because that's not
the real one.

You're saying there are two official
police reports of my client's arrest?

That's not your signature
at the bottom, Detective?

The sanitized report
was made

at the request of the Detective
Borrough Investigator.

So, he was in on it, too?

There was no conspiracy to frame your
client, if that's what you're meaning.

How do we know
this isn't the real one?

How do we know you didn't insert
anti-Semitic invective into the other report

to make the case
against my client?

The sanitized report
was created

to protect the integrity
of the investigation

given Mr. Carroll's
celebrity.

We have multiple conflicting
accounts of what happened.

He may have said this or not.
Or some of it or none of it.

How are we
supposed to know?

Objection. Argumentative.

Save it for summation,
Mr. Rosenthal.

Detective Cassady,
isn't it true

that Mr. Carroll denied making
anti-Semitic statements

when you interviewed him
the next day?

Yeah. He sobered up and he
said he didn't remember.

He'd been so intoxicated,
you believe he blacked out?

No.

If he hadn't blacked out, then he
would have remembered, correct?

Or he was lying.
Or you're lying, Detective.

Nothing more.

My Dad always told me
to stand up for myself.

I thought that was
a good thing.

Did he tell you to punch a Jewish
boy who had beaten you at tennis?

Yes. And I broke his jaw.

And what did your father
say to that?

He said he was proud
that I stood up to a Yid.

Did your father ever mention his Jewish
colleagues on his television show?

He said the Jews
ran the business.

So he had to get along
with them.

And after his TV show
was cancelled?

I don't know.

Did he make remarks
about Danielle Hertzberg?

No. Not really.

You testified under oath before
the Grand Jury, and I quote,

"He blamed his Jew producer
for shutting him out of work.

"He said he wished
she was dead."

Isn't that right?

JUDGE MURPHY: The witness
will answer the question.

I was lying then.

I need a moment
with my witness.

Your Honor, enough of
Mr. McCoy's coaching.

We're going to
adjourn for the day.

Mr. McCoy, get it together
by tomorrow.

10 a.m.
(GAVEL POUNDS)

We had a deal, John. You tell the
truth and we reduce your sentence.

If you don't play ball
then the deal goes away.

You understand that, right?

We talked about this earlier today.
He knows what's going on.

CONNIE: So, you're
willing to go to prison?

My father had nothing
to do with the murder.

I pulled the trigger.
Stop protecting him.

I'm not gonna rat him out.

My own blood.
I know who you answer to.

Your father is selling you down
the river, and you're clueless.

I killed her. Not him.

We're done here.

Kid's trying hard to get
his father to notice.

Now what?

Set up a meeting
with Rosenthal.

So, he'll plead to Tampering with
Physical Evidence, nothing more.

You'll drop the murder charge
first thing in the morning.

John perjured himself in
violation of his plea agreement.

He's looking at 20 years, minimum.
In case you were interested.

That's too bad.

Do you love your son,
Mr. Carroll?

Of course, I do. What kind
of a question is that?

ROSENTHAL: I don't know where
you're going with this, Jack.

Either we make a deal now
or we walk.

We're more than happy
to finish the trial.

My one-time-only offer.

You and John
both plead Guilty.

For every year
you agree to do,

I knock that time off
your son's sentence.

You're crazy.

JACK: You hate Jews.

You love your son.

I'm curious.
Which is more important?

(slsl-ls) Look...

Look. John has issues.
He always has.

I know, as a father,

I'm supposed to be accountable
for all that, but...

We have never really
had a relationship.

He was living with you,
wasn't he?

Despite the time
we spent together,

I don't think
I really ever knew him.

Obviously not,
given what he's done.

You or your son,
Mr. Carroll?

(HESITANTLY) I can't go to jail.
I'm too old.

Tell him I'm...
I'm so sorry.

Tell him yourself.

John.

John, I... Wait!

John! Wait.

You wanted me to do it.

You know you did!

You wanted me
to kill her!

No. John, I didn't.

You're such a liar!

I just wanted you
to be proud of me.

But you hate me, too,
don't you?

I don't hate you. No.

I assume he'll be
testifying again?

You can count on it.

JUDGE MURPHY: Has the
jury reached a verdict?

We have, Your Honor.

On the count of Murder in the
Second Degree, how do you find?

We find the defendant,
Mitch Carroll, guilty.

(PEOPLE MURMURING)

Sometimes you blame the apple,
sometimes you blame the tree.

Your father
raised you well, Jack.

Anybody
up for a drink?

I'm buying.

Then I'm in.

So long as nobodyjudges what I
say after my second bourbon.

(LAUGHS)
