Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:02,128 --> 00:00:04,714
In the criminal justice
system, the people are represented
2
00:00:04,880 --> 00:00:07,717
by two separate yet
equally important groups…
3
00:00:07,883 --> 00:00:09,385
the police
who investigate crime,
4
00:00:09,552 --> 00:00:12,096
and the district attorneys
who prosecute the offenders.
5
00:00:12,513 --> 00:00:14,515
These are their stories.
6
00:00:28,362 --> 00:00:29,613
I want the Caddy.
7
00:00:30,156 --> 00:00:32,450
I'm happy with the velour,
not even leather.
8
00:00:32,616 --> 00:00:33,576
I'm happy.
9
00:00:33,743 --> 00:00:35,536
What do I end up with?
10
00:00:35,703 --> 00:00:37,496
A damn Asian ant-box.
11
00:00:55,598 --> 00:00:57,516
Must have forgot their keys.
12
00:00:57,683 --> 00:00:59,560
Hold it, we got a vic.
13
00:01:09,361 --> 00:01:10,780
Watch it,
Eddie, he's got a gun!
14
00:01:25,544 --> 00:01:28,839
Eddie, forget the kid!
This guy's checking out.
15
00:01:40,267 --> 00:01:43,145
Since when's a ham
sandwich $2. 75, Jesus?
16
00:01:43,312 --> 00:01:45,397
Since last Friday.
17
00:01:45,564 --> 00:01:48,234
I didn't know
ptomaine had gone up.
18
00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:50,236
We don't use none of that.
19
00:01:50,402 --> 00:01:52,029
It's all homemade.
20
00:02:01,455 --> 00:02:02,623
What?
21
00:02:02,790 --> 00:02:05,209
We got a 10-20.
Could be a homicide.
22
00:02:05,376 --> 00:02:06,752
Vic conscious?
23
00:02:06,919 --> 00:02:09,255
Nope. Ambulance
is on the way.
24
00:02:09,421 --> 00:02:11,423
Around the potholes, eh?
25
00:02:11,590 --> 00:02:13,676
Suit's just back
from the cleaners.
26
00:02:22,726 --> 00:02:23,894
Odds?
27
00:02:24,061 --> 00:02:26,397
50-50, but I'm an optimist.
28
00:02:27,773 --> 00:02:29,984
I've seen this guy.
29
00:02:31,569 --> 00:02:32,778
Hochmeyer!
30
00:02:35,656 --> 00:02:36,574
Any ID?
31
00:02:36,740 --> 00:02:38,409
He took his wallet,
but we ran the car.
32
00:02:38,576 --> 00:02:41,162
Who owns the Benz?
Eddie, come on.
33
00:02:41,328 --> 00:02:44,415
It's registered to Charles
Halsey in Kew Gardens.
34
00:02:48,377 --> 00:02:50,754
Oh, that's great.
That's just terrific.
35
00:02:50,921 --> 00:02:52,131
You know the guy?
36
00:02:52,298 --> 00:02:54,300
Councilman Halsey?
Ring a bell?
37
00:02:54,466 --> 00:02:56,343
The dirtbag who's
always mouthing off
38
00:02:56,510 --> 00:02:58,470
about the streets being unsafe?
39
00:02:58,637 --> 00:03:00,764
I hate media cases.
40
00:04:24,932 --> 00:04:27,184
They try to get close to you,
41
00:04:27,351 --> 00:04:29,561
looking for anything they
can get 500 words out of you.
42
00:04:29,728 --> 00:04:32,398
99% of them don't care about you,
the case, or who they hurt.
43
00:04:32,564 --> 00:04:34,191
They just want to sell papers.
44
00:04:34,358 --> 00:04:36,860
If you talk to them, they
start calling you at the office,
45
00:04:37,027 --> 00:04:39,697
tying up the lines.
If you don't talk to them,
46
00:04:39,863 --> 00:04:42,324
they start writing about how
"the police are stymied."
47
00:04:42,491 --> 00:04:44,743
Then the calls come in
from the brass downtown.
48
00:04:44,910 --> 00:04:47,204
- You can't smoke in here.
- It's not lit.
49
00:04:48,497 --> 00:04:52,209
Not bad, Max. A prophet
in your own time.
50
00:04:52,376 --> 00:04:54,128
Man:… it was big
news to you people.
51
00:04:54,295 --> 00:04:56,338
Then you got tired
of hearing the truth.
52
00:04:56,505 --> 00:04:58,507
Sure, you were
at his press conferences,
53
00:04:58,674 --> 00:05:00,843
but he was just
exercising his lungs.
54
00:05:01,010 --> 00:05:04,096
Now do you understand what
Chuck Halsey was screaming about?
55
00:05:04,263 --> 00:05:06,140
Our streets aren't safe
for anyone.
56
00:05:06,307 --> 00:05:09,852
You can check with our
office on Chuck's condition.
57
00:05:10,019 --> 00:05:11,770
We'll have regular
medical updates.
58
00:05:11,937 --> 00:05:13,564
Thank you, ladies
and gentlemen.
59
00:05:14,732 --> 00:05:18,610
Do you have any idea what your
husband was doing in that neighborhood?
60
00:05:19,903 --> 00:05:21,113
Okay, got it.
61
00:05:21,655 --> 00:05:24,575
Dr. Goldman, you have
a visitor in your office…
62
00:05:27,536 --> 00:05:31,123
He made it through surgery.
That's half the battle.
63
00:05:31,290 --> 00:05:33,584
We'll call immediately
if anything changes.
64
00:05:33,751 --> 00:05:35,753
Thank you, Doctor.
65
00:05:37,004 --> 00:05:38,380
Who are you?
66
00:05:38,547 --> 00:05:41,258
I'm Detective Logan,
this is Detective Greevey.
67
00:05:41,425 --> 00:05:42,968
I'm sorry about
your husband, ma'am.
68
00:05:43,135 --> 00:05:44,887
You're the investigating
officers?
69
00:05:45,054 --> 00:05:47,681
Mm-hmm. We heard
it was two black kids.
70
00:05:47,848 --> 00:05:49,850
- You have anything else?
- Not yet.
71
00:05:50,017 --> 00:05:53,604
Could you give me a description
of his personal items, ma'am?
72
00:05:54,646 --> 00:05:56,523
He always carried…
73
00:05:56,690 --> 00:05:58,901
a brown alligator wallet,
74
00:05:59,068 --> 00:06:01,945
and he had a star sapphire ring
75
00:06:02,112 --> 00:06:03,364
and…
76
00:06:03,530 --> 00:06:05,366
a gold and diamond Rolex.
77
00:06:05,532 --> 00:06:07,826
And he always had
about $500 cash.
78
00:06:07,993 --> 00:06:10,704
Your husband have any enemies?
79
00:06:10,871 --> 00:06:12,122
Chuck Halsey is
one of the most respected
80
00:06:12,289 --> 00:06:14,166
and liked men in this district.
81
00:06:14,333 --> 00:06:16,835
I'm sure he is.
Ma'am?
82
00:06:17,795 --> 00:06:20,297
What are you asking?
I thought you knew who did it.
83
00:06:20,464 --> 00:06:21,924
Two black kids were there,
84
00:06:22,091 --> 00:06:23,592
but they didn't drive
him to that location.
85
00:06:23,759 --> 00:06:26,095
Do you have any idea what
he was doing out there?
86
00:06:28,138 --> 00:06:30,265
Chuck had a political dinner.
87
00:06:30,432 --> 00:06:32,810
I was there.
It ended around 10:30.
88
00:06:32,976 --> 00:06:34,978
- Did he leave alone?
- I have no idea.
89
00:06:35,145 --> 00:06:37,940
You going to be able
to catch these…
90
00:06:38,107 --> 00:06:39,775
kids?
91
00:06:41,235 --> 00:06:44,446
I'm not going to lie
- It'll take a break or a miracle.
92
00:06:44,613 --> 00:06:46,281
What kind of miracle?
93
00:06:46,448 --> 00:06:49,701
One of them walking in
and confessing might help.
94
00:06:51,495 --> 00:06:56,041
We have to get back
to the precinct garage.
95
00:06:56,208 --> 00:06:58,544
We'll try to get your car to
you as soon as possible, ma'am.
96
00:06:58,710 --> 00:07:00,295
Thank you, Detective.
97
00:07:03,132 --> 00:07:06,510
It's okay…
it's okay.
98
00:07:08,011 --> 00:07:09,388
That was smart.
99
00:07:10,389 --> 00:07:13,559
There's no sense in her
having any illusions.
100
00:07:13,725 --> 00:07:18,188
Right- Conti got a real charge
out of your sense of humor.
101
00:07:18,355 --> 00:07:20,315
Yeah…?
102
00:07:20,482 --> 00:07:24,194
Are you trying to tell me
this thing plays straight?
103
00:07:24,361 --> 00:07:26,947
Let's check Halsey's car.
104
00:07:27,114 --> 00:07:30,284
What was he doing there
after a political dinner?
105
00:07:31,201 --> 00:07:33,245
Let's check the car.
106
00:07:33,579 --> 00:07:37,040
Whoa, wait a minute.
Wait a minute.
107
00:07:37,207 --> 00:07:39,251
What have you got?
108
00:07:40,836 --> 00:07:43,046
Old rumors.
109
00:07:43,213 --> 00:07:46,008
That's great.
What kind?
110
00:07:46,175 --> 00:07:49,720
Rumor was, he ran the pad
in the criminal courts.
111
00:07:49,887 --> 00:07:52,139
He's a bagman?
112
00:07:52,306 --> 00:07:54,016
Was…
113
00:07:54,183 --> 00:07:56,518
if you believe the rumors.
114
00:07:58,312 --> 00:08:01,148
This really frosts
my cookies, Max.
115
00:08:01,315 --> 00:08:03,567
You mind telling me
why you didn't tell me?
116
00:08:03,734 --> 00:08:05,235
Because you're already
117
00:08:05,402 --> 00:08:08,071
leaping to conclusions,
for Pete's sakes.
118
00:08:09,239 --> 00:08:11,700
About the only probable
conclusion we can draw
119
00:08:11,867 --> 00:08:14,411
is that the black kids
took whatever they found.
120
00:08:17,831 --> 00:08:20,042
Let's check the car.
121
00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:29,551
60 bucks for a damn key.
122
00:08:31,136 --> 00:08:33,514
Could've popped the thing
for nothing.
123
00:08:33,680 --> 00:08:36,517
The car belongs
to a councilman.
124
00:08:39,436 --> 00:08:41,063
Is that real?
125
00:08:41,230 --> 00:08:42,814
How much?
126
00:08:43,899 --> 00:08:45,484
12 and up.
127
00:08:45,651 --> 00:08:49,196
Must be crazy
about his old lady.
128
00:08:52,658 --> 00:08:55,077
I don't want to tell her,
but what else can we do?
129
00:08:55,244 --> 00:08:57,162
But Halsey could still
pull through, right?
130
00:08:57,329 --> 00:08:59,957
Eight to five—
against.
131
00:09:00,123 --> 00:09:02,292
The surgeon says
it's in God's hands.
132
00:09:02,459 --> 00:09:04,044
That must be comforting.
133
00:09:04,211 --> 00:09:05,504
Well?
134
00:09:05,671 --> 00:09:08,757
The guy wakes up, and the coat
wasn't for the wife,
135
00:09:08,924 --> 00:09:10,551
and we've told her.
136
00:09:10,717 --> 00:09:11,677
Thanks for your help, Captain.
137
00:09:11,843 --> 00:09:13,845
Keep in touch.
138
00:09:16,974 --> 00:09:19,351
Since when does that mean
we don't go?
139
00:09:19,518 --> 00:09:21,562
Hey, Max? Yeah?
140
00:09:21,728 --> 00:09:23,313
Jacobson, down at the Trib.
141
00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:25,482
I'm out.
142
00:09:31,405 --> 00:09:33,615
No labels.
143
00:09:33,782 --> 00:09:36,868
Maggie's got a friend.
Works for a furrier.
144
00:09:38,370 --> 00:09:40,372
Did you catch
the Halsey mugging?
145
00:09:40,539 --> 00:09:42,541
- Yeah.
- Give Perez a call at Narco.
146
00:09:42,708 --> 00:09:45,168
Perez? The one
that doesn't shave?
147
00:09:45,335 --> 00:09:46,628
Yeah.
148
00:09:46,795 --> 00:09:48,171
We take down the crack house
149
00:09:48,338 --> 00:09:50,549
and roll up this scumball
dealer, Rodriguez,
150
00:09:50,716 --> 00:09:52,551
with half a dozen customers.
151
00:09:52,718 --> 00:09:55,512
Rodriguez is on probation and
knows he's going back for a deuce,
152
00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:58,390
so he gives us this kid
who he says
153
00:09:58,557 --> 00:10:00,392
came in with a wad
that he had taken off
154
00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:03,020
some white dude in a Mercedes.
155
00:10:03,186 --> 00:10:05,397
I got in here,
156
00:10:05,564 --> 00:10:07,649
I read the APB, and boom…
157
00:10:07,816 --> 00:10:09,776
called upstairs.
158
00:10:12,321 --> 00:10:14,656
Monster case of the "yips."
159
00:10:14,823 --> 00:10:16,825
He's good for
nothing till he comes down.
160
00:10:16,992 --> 00:10:19,536
I'm going to have him singing
the name game in five minutes.
161
00:10:19,703 --> 00:10:22,831
What?
20?
162
00:10:29,630 --> 00:10:31,715
Rodriguez would rat out
his own mama.
163
00:10:31,882 --> 00:10:33,842
Junkie gimp don't know nothing!
164
00:10:34,009 --> 00:10:36,887
And you ain't got squat on me
except for what he said.
165
00:10:37,054 --> 00:10:38,347
And that's just heresy.
166
00:10:38,513 --> 00:10:41,016
The word's "hearsay," Simonize.
167
00:10:41,183 --> 00:10:44,853
Yeah, that's it.
And I be good for "no say."
168
00:10:45,020 --> 00:10:46,813
Hey- shut up.
169
00:10:48,231 --> 00:10:50,692
We don't dig
being dissed by lightweights.
170
00:10:50,859 --> 00:10:52,778
Mike, he's not being
disrespectful.
171
00:10:52,944 --> 00:10:54,863
He's just being reflective.
172
00:10:58,533 --> 00:11:01,036
What are you
looking at? Turn around.
173
00:11:03,038 --> 00:11:05,707
Eight arrests
and he still doesn't get it?
174
00:11:05,874 --> 00:11:07,459
Hey…
175
00:11:07,626 --> 00:11:11,588
judges help those
who help themselves.
176
00:11:11,755 --> 00:11:13,590
Going…
177
00:11:14,007 --> 00:11:16,426
I'm not talking about
a year at Spofford.
178
00:11:16,593 --> 00:11:17,636
Going…
179
00:11:18,011 --> 00:11:20,847
Don't be stupid.
Gone.
180
00:11:21,014 --> 00:11:23,100
Back to your cage, Simonize.
181
00:11:23,266 --> 00:11:25,018
Get up.
182
00:11:28,980 --> 00:11:31,608
Simonize, what a surprise.
183
00:11:31,775 --> 00:11:34,194
You getting some career
counseling from Greevey?
184
00:11:34,361 --> 00:11:37,030
I ain't done nothing.
Such a polite young man.
185
00:11:37,197 --> 00:11:40,075
Of course you haven't. we always
arrest innocent people, huh?
186
00:11:40,242 --> 00:11:41,868
Who's this jerk hang with?
187
00:11:42,035 --> 00:11:44,287
How's Tremaine these
days? I ain't seen him.
188
00:11:44,454 --> 00:11:46,748
It's amazing how you
homeboys are always apart.
189
00:11:46,915 --> 00:11:48,917
Tremaine Lewis—
I got his address upstairs.
190
00:11:49,084 --> 00:11:50,794
Simonize lives
with his grandmother.
191
00:11:50,961 --> 00:11:53,338
Grandmother?
192
00:12:04,891 --> 00:12:06,601
You the man?
193
00:12:06,768 --> 00:12:08,729
We sure are, honey.
194
00:12:14,943 --> 00:12:16,778
Who is it?
195
00:12:16,945 --> 00:12:18,697
Police, Mrs. Jackson.
196
00:12:18,864 --> 00:12:22,033
You sure this paper says
you can do that
197
00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:24,369
even when he ain't here?
198
00:12:24,536 --> 00:12:26,747
Yes, ma'am.
199
00:12:26,913 --> 00:12:30,208
That's a search warrant
signed by a judge.
200
00:12:30,375 --> 00:12:32,127
First time the police
201
00:12:32,294 --> 00:12:34,463
ever brought up
a search warrant.
202
00:12:36,173 --> 00:12:39,426
Simon done something
real bad this time, huh?
203
00:12:44,973 --> 00:12:46,391
Yes, ma'am…
204
00:12:46,767 --> 00:12:48,810
it looks that way.
205
00:12:49,519 --> 00:12:52,272
Lots of noise.
206
00:12:52,439 --> 00:12:54,775
Plenty of warning.
207
00:13:01,198 --> 00:13:05,410
Tremaine Lewis- NYPD!
208
00:13:07,496 --> 00:13:09,456
Drop the gun, Tremaine!
209
00:13:22,844 --> 00:13:24,846
Give it up!
210
00:13:36,566 --> 00:13:38,276
Look at me when
I'm talking to you!
211
00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:42,155
If the councilman croaks,
212
00:13:42,781 --> 00:13:46,409
you guys move up
to the bigs- murder two.
213
00:13:46,576 --> 00:13:49,913
We're telling you the truth.
We didn't do nothing to him.
214
00:13:50,914 --> 00:13:52,624
You guys willing to swear
215
00:13:52,791 --> 00:13:55,252
you two were together
the whole night?
216
00:13:55,418 --> 00:13:58,088
You got that right.
217
00:14:00,966 --> 00:14:03,969
You know what we found
in Simonize's apartment?
218
00:14:10,183 --> 00:14:11,977
I ain't never seen that.
219
00:14:12,143 --> 00:14:14,938
Simonize, you holding
out on your main man?
220
00:14:17,691 --> 00:14:20,527
That is the vic's watch.
221
00:14:25,323 --> 00:14:28,660
Anybody want to make a deal?
222
00:14:30,662 --> 00:14:33,164
You didn't plead
these guys, did you?
223
00:14:33,331 --> 00:14:34,624
We're still talking.
224
00:14:34,791 --> 00:14:35,709
Stop.
225
00:14:37,252 --> 00:14:38,670
The councilman?
226
00:14:43,884 --> 00:14:46,511
Now wait a damn minute!
227
00:14:46,678 --> 00:14:48,638
He's saying the dude croaked?
228
00:14:48,805 --> 00:14:50,807
I'm saying, you blew it.
229
00:14:53,143 --> 00:14:55,729
Look, he was already cut
when we got there.
230
00:14:55,896 --> 00:14:58,189
We took him off, but we
didn't do nothing to him.
231
00:14:58,356 --> 00:15:00,692
He started to choke. He was
just lying there bleeding.
232
00:15:00,859 --> 00:15:02,944
It was that white cat
in the Benz.
233
00:15:03,111 --> 00:15:05,530
He got out as soon as
the truck pulled off.
234
00:15:06,323 --> 00:15:07,657
What truck?
235
00:15:08,825 --> 00:15:10,911
I've been thinking
about yesterday.
236
00:15:11,077 --> 00:15:14,456
That was great. I thought
Halsey had croaked.
237
00:15:15,332 --> 00:15:17,083
Tony Hallowell? Yeah?
238
00:15:17,250 --> 00:15:19,794
I'm Detective Greevey,
this is Detective Logan.
239
00:15:19,961 --> 00:15:21,504
Is there a problem?
240
00:15:21,671 --> 00:15:24,591
Dispatcher said you made a
late delivery on Tuesday night.
241
00:15:24,758 --> 00:15:25,967
Uh-huh.
242
00:15:26,134 --> 00:15:28,261
Anybody else
here when you arrived?
243
00:15:28,428 --> 00:15:29,888
Just the night man.
He was inside.
244
00:15:30,055 --> 00:15:32,057
Outside?
245
00:15:32,223 --> 00:15:35,018
Yeah.
246
00:15:35,185 --> 00:15:36,603
There were a couple of
cars parked right there.
247
00:15:36,770 --> 00:15:40,357
A gray Mercedes
and a red Jag XJS.
248
00:15:40,523 --> 00:15:42,484
Hey, that's
very observant, Tony.
249
00:15:42,651 --> 00:15:44,235
I like cars. See anything else?
250
00:15:44,402 --> 00:15:45,487
Yeah, when I drove in,
251
00:15:45,654 --> 00:15:47,614
there were two guys
at the rear of the Jag.
252
00:15:47,781 --> 00:15:49,824
Trunk pops open,
guy reaches in,
253
00:15:49,991 --> 00:15:52,243
pulls out a fur coat and
hands it to the other guy.
254
00:15:52,410 --> 00:15:54,871
Could you identify
them? Yeah, sure.
255
00:15:55,038 --> 00:15:56,373
Then what happened?
256
00:15:56,539 --> 00:15:58,625
The other guy opens the
trunk of the Mercedes,
257
00:15:58,792 --> 00:16:01,711
puts it in there, they both
climb into the Mercedes,
258
00:16:01,878 --> 00:16:04,339
and I go inside.
259
00:16:04,506 --> 00:16:07,425
Thanks. You've been very helpful.
260
00:16:07,592 --> 00:16:09,803
Sure.
261
00:16:29,948 --> 00:16:31,950
I didn't know you hung
with the carriage trade.
262
00:16:32,117 --> 00:16:33,451
Hello to you, too.
263
00:16:33,618 --> 00:16:35,036
- Max.
- Maggie.
264
00:16:35,203 --> 00:16:37,038
Second floor.
265
00:16:37,205 --> 00:16:40,375
Talk to her boss. She thinks
he'll know who made it.
266
00:16:40,542 --> 00:16:42,919
So is this good for a dinner?
267
00:16:43,086 --> 00:16:44,963
That depends on what
dinner's good for.
268
00:16:45,130 --> 00:16:46,548
Oh… Let's put it this way…
269
00:16:46,715 --> 00:16:48,466
you don't have a chance
in hell without it.
270
00:16:48,633 --> 00:16:51,886
- Very cold, Maggie.
- So light my fire.
271
00:16:54,723 --> 00:16:58,351
Then among lynx, there are as many
variations as there are among people.
272
00:16:58,518 --> 00:17:01,938
So is this coat "Meryl Streep"
or "Whoopi Goldberg"?
273
00:17:02,105 --> 00:17:04,065
More the latter than
the former, I'm afraid.
274
00:17:04,232 --> 00:17:06,735
Canadian farm grown,
male pelt- basic coat,
275
00:17:06,901 --> 00:17:09,320
not a designer's. Flash,
but basically trash.
276
00:17:09,487 --> 00:17:11,489
Would you mind if we cut
to the chase, Mr. Farber?
277
00:17:11,656 --> 00:17:14,701
Oh- There are three furriers
who do this type of garbage goods.
278
00:17:14,868 --> 00:17:16,911
Your best bet
is Kornbluth on 22nd.
279
00:17:17,078 --> 00:17:18,788
They're Russians, usually.
280
00:17:18,955 --> 00:17:22,167
Don't give them a dime
until you have the pelts.
281
00:17:23,293 --> 00:17:24,961
What?
282
00:17:25,128 --> 00:17:26,421
Are you Kornbluth?
283
00:17:26,588 --> 00:17:28,965
There hasn't been
a Kornbluth here since 1957.
284
00:17:29,132 --> 00:17:30,967
I'm Swersky.
What do you want?
285
00:17:31,134 --> 00:17:33,053
Where's the owner?
286
00:17:33,219 --> 00:17:35,180
What is this, "20 questions"?
287
00:17:35,346 --> 00:17:37,307
I'm Detective Logan…
288
00:17:37,474 --> 00:17:38,933
and this is Detective Greevey.
289
00:17:39,100 --> 00:17:41,644
Now, is this your coat?
290
00:17:44,189 --> 00:17:47,025
Possible- it looks
like one of mine…
291
00:17:47,192 --> 00:17:49,235
but I don't know every coat.
292
00:17:49,402 --> 00:17:52,489
Now you're starting
to tick me off, Mr. Swersky.
293
00:17:52,655 --> 00:17:55,867
Why is it I think Mr. Swersky
recognized that coat
294
00:17:56,034 --> 00:17:57,869
the minute
it walked in the door?
295
00:17:58,036 --> 00:17:59,496
You want to tell me
what you want?
296
00:17:59,662 --> 00:18:01,372
No.
297
00:18:01,539 --> 00:18:03,333
Who bought the coat?
298
00:18:03,500 --> 00:18:05,126
It was a gift.
299
00:18:05,293 --> 00:18:07,253
What kind of car do you drive?
300
00:18:07,420 --> 00:18:09,089
A Cadillac Coupe de Ville.
301
00:18:09,255 --> 00:18:10,799
Why?
302
00:18:10,965 --> 00:18:12,634
Who was the gift for?
303
00:18:12,801 --> 00:18:14,511
You know, I really think
304
00:18:14,677 --> 00:18:17,514
maybe I should give
my attorney a call now.
305
00:18:18,973 --> 00:18:20,975
Absolutely.
306
00:18:21,559 --> 00:18:23,061
Feel free.
307
00:18:23,228 --> 00:18:26,481
Maybe I should give Gaffner
a call down at the firehouse.
308
00:18:26,648 --> 00:18:30,485
Aren't some of those pelts
covering fire sprinklers?
309
00:18:30,652 --> 00:18:33,947
And call Ulasewicz at
the Buildings Department.
310
00:18:34,114 --> 00:18:36,491
I saw a lot of violations.
311
00:18:40,912 --> 00:18:42,747
Tony Scalisi.
312
00:18:44,624 --> 00:18:46,751
Where do I know that name?
313
00:18:50,380 --> 00:18:52,298
Masucci family.
314
00:18:52,465 --> 00:18:55,885
If he finds out I told you…
315
00:18:56,052 --> 00:18:57,762
why'd he want the coat?
316
00:18:57,929 --> 00:18:59,389
What am I, "Carnac"?
317
00:19:03,810 --> 00:19:06,729
Trucker give you a positive
ID? Right from the picture.
318
00:19:06,896 --> 00:19:08,731
So did Lewis and Jackson.
319
00:19:08,898 --> 00:19:12,277
Read the rap sheet. Mr.
Scalisi likes to slice and dice.
320
00:19:12,443 --> 00:19:16,030
And guess who leases
a red Jaguar XJS?
321
00:19:16,197 --> 00:19:18,283
Halsey regained consciousness?
322
00:19:18,449 --> 00:19:20,034
Doctors aren't very optimistic.
323
00:19:20,201 --> 00:19:23,872
Captain, why don't we wait to
see if Halsey buys the farm?
324
00:19:24,038 --> 00:19:25,665
Murder's a better collar.
325
00:19:25,832 --> 00:19:27,750
I'm getting my butt barbecued!
326
00:19:27,917 --> 00:19:30,295
Borough president called
for a task force.
327
00:19:30,461 --> 00:19:31,838
He wants to take it away from us.
328
00:19:32,005 --> 00:19:34,007
Deputy Commander Jefferson
calls twice a day.
329
00:19:34,174 --> 00:19:35,425
What's he want?
330
00:19:35,592 --> 00:19:37,010
He doesn't want me
to forget this is
331
00:19:37,177 --> 00:19:39,179
a politically sensitive case.
332
00:19:43,183 --> 00:19:46,519
I don't want to wait.
Get a warrant.
333
00:19:47,812 --> 00:19:49,856
Go on.
334
00:19:50,857 --> 00:19:52,442
Yes, sir.
335
00:20:00,116 --> 00:20:03,494
Which "night school Clarence
Darrow" is handling this?
336
00:20:04,579 --> 00:20:06,623
Name's Robinette.
337
00:20:07,665 --> 00:20:09,709
20 says he won't file.
338
00:20:11,044 --> 00:20:13,671
These defensive bets
are going to kill you.
339
00:20:24,390 --> 00:20:26,017
And then what happened?
340
00:20:26,184 --> 00:20:28,102
After that, picks up the baby,
341
00:20:28,269 --> 00:20:30,271
and he starts shaking her,
342
00:20:30,438 --> 00:20:32,899
and her head just
starts flopping…
343
00:20:33,066 --> 00:20:35,318
Is that when you called 911?
344
00:20:37,528 --> 00:20:38,696
If it was self-defense,
345
00:20:38,863 --> 00:20:40,865
how come you shot him
in the back?
346
00:20:44,702 --> 00:20:46,287
Robinette?
347
00:20:46,454 --> 00:20:47,956
Er… Logan?
348
00:20:48,122 --> 00:20:50,124
Greevey.
He's Logan.
349
00:20:51,834 --> 00:20:55,046
Stone's willing to file,
but it's a reach.
350
00:20:56,464 --> 00:21:00,051
I've sent a lot of guys away
on circumstantial evidence.
351
00:21:00,218 --> 00:21:02,262
Anyway, I think this
is more than that.
352
00:21:02,428 --> 00:21:05,348
What kind of "more"?
You know that Halsey was a bagman?
353
00:21:05,515 --> 00:21:08,184
Stone mentioned that.
354
00:21:08,351 --> 00:21:10,728
Then mention to Stone that
Deputy Commander Jefferson
355
00:21:10,895 --> 00:21:12,605
has been nosing around.
356
00:21:13,314 --> 00:21:16,192
Tell him I thought
he'd like to know.
357
00:21:16,359 --> 00:21:18,945
You're new, aren't you?
How long you been with Stone?
358
00:21:19,112 --> 00:21:20,154
Eight months.
359
00:21:21,364 --> 00:21:22,991
Must be a record.
360
00:21:24,075 --> 00:21:26,411
See you in court.
361
00:21:31,916 --> 00:21:33,918
Must be out.
No answer.
362
00:21:34,085 --> 00:21:37,588
You guys just got
lucky. Here he comes.
363
00:21:37,755 --> 00:21:42,176
I hate pit bulls.
364
00:21:42,343 --> 00:21:45,596
If he drops the leash, shoot
the dog first. Go over there.
365
00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:51,394
Anthony Scalisi…
366
00:21:51,561 --> 00:21:53,187
I have a warrant for
your arrest. Don't move.
367
00:22:01,112 --> 00:22:02,447
What's the charge?
368
00:22:02,613 --> 00:22:04,115
Assault with a deadly weapon,
369
00:22:04,282 --> 00:22:06,409
and the attempted murder
of Charles Halsey.
370
00:22:09,704 --> 00:22:11,956
"Spuds" moves, you're history.
371
00:22:18,087 --> 00:22:20,173
Criminal possession
of a weapon in the third degree,
372
00:22:20,340 --> 00:22:22,717
criminal possession of a weapon in the
second degree, assault in the second degree,
373
00:22:22,884 --> 00:22:25,178
assault in the first degree,
attempted murder in the second degree.
374
00:22:25,345 --> 00:22:27,513
Counselor, waive reading
of the rights and charges?
375
00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:29,640
So waived. How
does your client plead?
376
00:22:29,807 --> 00:22:31,142
Not guilty.
377
00:22:31,309 --> 00:22:33,478
People on bail?
378
00:22:33,644 --> 00:22:35,480
Your Honor,
the defendant has been
379
00:22:35,646 --> 00:22:37,357
convicted
of murder once before,
380
00:22:37,523 --> 00:22:39,317
he is a repeat offender,
381
00:22:39,484 --> 00:22:41,486
he's a soldier
in the Masucci family,
382
00:22:41,652 --> 00:22:43,279
and is considered
a flight risk.
383
00:22:43,446 --> 00:22:46,074
This office requests
that he be held without bail.
384
00:22:46,240 --> 00:22:48,117
Afraid I'm loath
to withhold bail
385
00:22:48,284 --> 00:22:50,995
on all except homicide
cases, Counselor.
386
00:22:52,163 --> 00:22:53,998
$100,000,
387
00:22:54,165 --> 00:22:56,042
cash or bond.
388
00:22:56,209 --> 00:22:58,169
Short date.
389
00:23:01,047 --> 00:23:03,091
I thought Stone would be here.
390
00:23:03,257 --> 00:23:04,967
At a button man's arraignment?
391
00:23:05,134 --> 00:23:07,387
Have no fear, Stone's looking
forward to seeing you in court.
392
00:23:07,553 --> 00:23:08,846
What's his schedule like?
393
00:23:09,013 --> 00:23:10,723
Depends on who's
coming to call.
394
00:23:10,890 --> 00:23:14,143
Come on, Paul, this whole thing's
just one step above a roust.
395
00:23:14,310 --> 00:23:15,686
It's a two-minute
negotiation.
396
00:23:15,853 --> 00:23:18,064
I wouldn't count on it.
Halsey's still touch and go.
397
00:23:18,231 --> 00:23:22,610
Give me a break—
Nobody dies of a knife wound a week later.
398
00:23:22,777 --> 00:23:24,487
Predicate violence?
399
00:23:24,654 --> 00:23:27,865
Stone hates pleading
on predicate violence.
400
00:23:39,544 --> 00:23:41,712
Cosmatos.
401
00:23:41,879 --> 00:23:43,798
Call me irresponsible, Eddie,
402
00:23:43,965 --> 00:23:45,800
but I like you.
403
00:23:46,592 --> 00:23:48,136
You're a hell of a lawyer,
404
00:23:48,302 --> 00:23:51,180
that's why I'm amazed how
incredibly guilty your clients are.
405
00:23:51,347 --> 00:23:53,558
Scalisi is lower
than snake spit.
406
00:23:53,724 --> 00:23:55,852
You want to waste more
of your client's money,
407
00:23:56,018 --> 00:23:58,104
come on down Thursday.
408
00:24:01,732 --> 00:24:03,860
I'm Eddie Cosmatos…
409
00:24:04,026 --> 00:24:06,279
I can't wait to put this
in front of a jury.
410
00:24:06,446 --> 00:24:09,782
Two black kids are found
with the victim's possessions.
411
00:24:09,949 --> 00:24:12,118
The other eyewitness
puts Scalisi there,
412
00:24:12,285 --> 00:24:13,828
but the only time they saw him
was when he was with Halsey,
413
00:24:13,995 --> 00:24:17,331
who was perfectly fine. So why
does Eddie want to plea his client?
414
00:24:17,498 --> 00:24:21,043
Judicial calendar
doesn't publish until next week.
415
00:24:21,210 --> 00:24:23,546
Scalisi draws Robards
or Kapstein…
416
00:24:23,713 --> 00:24:25,339
He gets 15 to life.
417
00:24:25,506 --> 00:24:27,592
He draws Rosen or Gonzales,
he gets an apology.
418
00:24:27,758 --> 00:24:30,428
So what do 99 defense
lawyers out of 100 do?
419
00:24:30,595 --> 00:24:32,096
Wait for the calendar
to come out.
420
00:24:32,263 --> 00:24:35,516
And you only make
5% of what Eddie makes.
421
00:24:35,683 --> 00:24:38,936
What did Greevey mean about
Deputy Commander Jefferson?
422
00:24:39,103 --> 00:24:41,439
Jefferson and I don't dance.
423
00:24:41,606 --> 00:24:43,733
Guy's a hero.
424
00:24:43,900 --> 00:24:45,902
He's a lying,
two-faced bastard.
425
00:24:46,068 --> 00:24:47,487
Wait a minute…
426
00:24:47,653 --> 00:24:49,405
I grew up around
the corner from him.
427
00:24:49,572 --> 00:24:51,032
He coached
my Little League team.
428
00:24:51,199 --> 00:24:53,409
I wouldn't even be a
lawyer if it wasn't for him.
429
00:24:53,576 --> 00:24:55,453
I'm sure his dog
loves him, too.
430
00:24:55,620 --> 00:24:57,580
You know how many black
kids look up to him?
431
00:24:57,747 --> 00:25:00,166
He's one of the highest
ranking black cops ever.
432
00:25:00,541 --> 00:25:02,376
If he's wrong, he's wrong.
433
00:25:02,543 --> 00:25:04,420
If he's so wrong,
how come nobody knows it?
434
00:25:04,795 --> 00:25:05,838
I know it.
435
00:25:06,005 --> 00:25:08,007
Come on,
let's beat the traffic.
436
00:25:15,223 --> 00:25:17,808
I used to hear things
about Halsey a long time ago,
437
00:25:17,975 --> 00:25:20,353
but he's had a good reputation
the last 10 years.
438
00:25:20,770 --> 00:25:21,938
Funny thing
about reputations…
439
00:25:22,104 --> 00:25:23,481
Don't start on that, Paul.
440
00:25:23,648 --> 00:25:24,982
- I just think…
- You're not thinking.
441
00:25:25,149 --> 00:25:28,277
If Jefferson was white, you
wouldn't doubt a word I'm saying.
442
00:25:28,444 --> 00:25:30,947
Only reason he's still got a
badge is because he's black.
443
00:25:31,113 --> 00:25:34,659
Really? Then why don't you just
tell me what the hell he did?
444
00:25:34,825 --> 00:25:36,953
He perjured himself
as a captain.
445
00:25:37,119 --> 00:25:40,665
Changed his testimony on me.
Somebody bought him. That's one.
446
00:25:41,749 --> 00:25:44,293
Another time he doctored
evidence in a numbers case.
447
00:25:44,460 --> 00:25:46,754
I'm not going to do this, Paul.
448
00:25:46,921 --> 00:25:48,839
You're either on my team,
or Jefferson's.
449
00:25:55,054 --> 00:25:57,348
Since he never discussed
business with me,
450
00:25:57,515 --> 00:26:00,810
I had no idea he was involved
in illegal activities.
451
00:26:00,977 --> 00:26:04,230
We just had dinner with Deputy
Police Commander Jefferson
452
00:26:04,397 --> 00:26:05,731
and his wife, for God's sake.
453
00:26:06,566 --> 00:26:07,608
Mom?
454
00:26:08,526 --> 00:26:10,152
I'm going to head
on over to Gran's.
455
00:26:10,319 --> 00:26:12,530
She's still a little shaky.
I'll be back in an hour.
456
00:26:12,697 --> 00:26:14,282
Okay, son.
457
00:26:20,538 --> 00:26:23,457
Kenneth was going to Annapolis.
458
00:26:23,624 --> 00:26:26,544
But with what's going
to come out,
459
00:26:26,711 --> 00:26:29,880
he'll never be able to get
a Congressional appointment.
460
00:26:30,047 --> 00:26:33,175
Mr. Halsey never wanted
Mrs. Halsey to be burdened
461
00:26:33,342 --> 00:26:36,095
with unnecessary
business details.
462
00:26:36,721 --> 00:26:38,389
Is there anything else
you'd like to know.
463
00:26:38,556 --> 00:26:40,057
Her coat size?
464
00:26:45,605 --> 00:26:47,189
12—
I wear a 12.
465
00:26:47,356 --> 00:26:49,108
Thank you, Mrs. Halsey.
One more thing…
466
00:26:49,275 --> 00:26:51,819
did you ever hear of somebody
called Anthony Scalisi?
467
00:26:51,986 --> 00:26:53,821
No, I don't recall
that name. why?
468
00:26:53,988 --> 00:26:56,365
He was the man we suspect
attacked your husband.
469
00:26:56,532 --> 00:26:59,285
A black boy named Scalisi?
470
00:26:59,452 --> 00:27:02,455
Two blacks in custody confessed
to robbing your husband,
471
00:27:02,622 --> 00:27:04,290
but Scalisi was the one
who slashed him.
472
00:27:04,457 --> 00:27:07,460
Do you have any idea why somebody
might want to attack M r. Halsey?
473
00:27:07,627 --> 00:27:10,880
Mrs. Halsey already told you
she didn't know Tony Scalisi.
474
00:27:11,047 --> 00:27:12,882
Mr. wentzel,
we won't take up
475
00:27:13,049 --> 00:27:14,634
any more
of Mrs. Halsey's time,
476
00:27:14,800 --> 00:27:17,595
but why don't you let us
buy you a cup of coffee?
477
00:27:19,013 --> 00:27:20,640
Mrs. Halsey wears a size 12.
478
00:27:20,806 --> 00:27:22,224
And the coat is an eight.
479
00:27:22,391 --> 00:27:24,769
Who is she, Mr. wentzel?
You can't be serious.
480
00:27:24,935 --> 00:27:26,729
I can't tell you…
481
00:27:26,896 --> 00:27:28,606
You're going to make me very
angry if you finish that sentence.
482
00:27:28,773 --> 00:27:31,108
What is this? we're
talking privacy here.
483
00:27:31,275 --> 00:27:33,653
No, we're talking
obstruction here.
484
00:27:33,819 --> 00:27:37,323
- Wait a damn second
- No, you wait. This case stinks.
485
00:27:37,490 --> 00:27:40,660
Your friend was a bagman long
before he was a councilman.
486
00:27:40,826 --> 00:27:42,620
Old habits die hard.
487
00:27:42,787 --> 00:27:45,122
I'm going to start
sending out subpoenas.
488
00:27:45,289 --> 00:27:48,668
If I find out you had
knowledge of person or persons
489
00:27:48,834 --> 00:27:51,420
who were involved with your
friend in illegal activity,
490
00:27:51,587 --> 00:27:53,381
I'll have your butt.
491
00:27:56,509 --> 00:27:59,011
Now what's her name,
Mr. wentzel?
492
00:28:04,350 --> 00:28:06,977
Alicia Heslin?
493
00:28:07,144 --> 00:28:10,022
Um… she's in Sweaters.
494
00:28:14,985 --> 00:28:16,362
Miss Heslin?
495
00:28:16,529 --> 00:28:17,822
Yes?
496
00:28:17,988 --> 00:28:19,532
My name's Paul Robinette.
497
00:28:19,699 --> 00:28:21,575
I'm from the District
Attorney's office.
498
00:28:21,742 --> 00:28:23,202
Yes?
499
00:28:23,369 --> 00:28:24,912
I'd like to ask you
a few questions.
500
00:28:25,079 --> 00:28:26,205
About what?
501
00:28:26,372 --> 00:28:28,708
Charles Halsey.
502
00:28:29,709 --> 00:28:31,877
Oh…
503
00:28:32,044 --> 00:28:34,296
I've been expecting you.
504
00:28:37,925 --> 00:28:41,554
I like the story you
wrote on Congressman MacGruder.
505
00:28:41,721 --> 00:28:43,139
So what do you want?
506
00:28:43,764 --> 00:28:46,559
Everything you got
on Charles Halsey.
507
00:28:50,146 --> 00:28:52,606
How much do you know
about parking meters?
508
00:28:52,773 --> 00:28:54,483
They all run fast.
509
00:28:54,650 --> 00:28:56,902
And a lot of people who
get tickets don't pay them.
510
00:28:57,069 --> 00:29:00,614
Collecting all that money
for all those unpaid tickets
511
00:29:00,781 --> 00:29:03,868
is a very big headache for the head
of the Parking Violations Bureau.
512
00:29:04,034 --> 00:29:06,245
He has to get a little
"outside help."
513
00:29:06,412 --> 00:29:08,789
That means a big contract.
514
00:29:08,956 --> 00:29:11,625
Very big,
very lucrative contract.
515
00:29:11,792 --> 00:29:13,461
Who has it?
516
00:29:13,627 --> 00:29:17,131
Interesting little company
called, "Carnegie Collections."
517
00:29:17,298 --> 00:29:18,883
She's got "champagne tastes"…
518
00:29:19,049 --> 00:29:21,218
Cartier watch, alligator shoes.
519
00:29:21,385 --> 00:29:22,928
When she first heard about it,
520
00:29:23,095 --> 00:29:25,306
she thought he might have
been trying to commit suicide.
521
00:29:25,473 --> 00:29:26,682
Why, was he depressed?
522
00:29:26,849 --> 00:29:27,975
He'd been subpoenaed…
523
00:29:28,142 --> 00:29:30,811
Federal Grand Jury
on Municipal Corruption.
524
00:29:30,978 --> 00:29:32,313
Oh, and how's this grab you?
525
00:29:32,480 --> 00:29:34,982
Her apartment lease is made out
to "Carnegie Collections."
526
00:29:35,149 --> 00:29:38,277
She wear a size eight
coat? Right off the rack.
527
00:29:38,444 --> 00:29:39,653
He tell her names?
528
00:29:39,820 --> 00:29:41,572
Last month, it was
all he talked about…
529
00:29:41,739 --> 00:29:43,491
who had done what to whom
and how they had done it.
530
00:29:43,657 --> 00:29:44,784
Will she testify?
531
00:29:44,950 --> 00:29:47,995
Most of it's unusable anyway.
532
00:29:48,162 --> 00:29:50,206
"Chuck told me
that Scalisi told him
533
00:29:50,372 --> 00:29:52,458
that Van Damme told him…"
That kind of thing.
534
00:29:52,625 --> 00:29:55,127
She did say he couldn't figure
out how this was happening
535
00:29:55,294 --> 00:29:58,047
since he had "a Deputy Police
Commander in his pocket."
536
00:29:59,089 --> 00:30:00,633
I can tell you now
537
00:30:00,800 --> 00:30:03,636
that six days of jury
deliberation did have me worried.
538
00:30:03,803 --> 00:30:06,555
You must be pleased
with the verdict, Deputy Commander.
539
00:30:06,722 --> 00:30:08,808
I am, Chuck, I truly am.
540
00:30:08,974 --> 00:30:10,935
Our high schools
must be protected
541
00:30:11,101 --> 00:30:13,604
from the drug-dealing scum
trying to poison our children.
542
00:30:13,771 --> 00:30:16,106
- Mr. Jefferson…?
- Deputy Commander, can I ask you this?
543
00:30:16,273 --> 00:30:19,276
Do you feel the impact of this
verdict will be felt on the streets?
544
00:30:23,531 --> 00:30:25,199
How deep does this go?
545
00:30:25,366 --> 00:30:28,702
It's not confined to the Parking
Violations Bureau, that's for sure.
546
00:30:28,869 --> 00:30:31,580
- Why not?
- Halsey's been the bagman for 20 years.
547
00:30:31,747 --> 00:30:33,040
There's police he's mobbed up,
548
00:30:33,207 --> 00:30:35,251
and according
to a reporter I know,
549
00:30:35,417 --> 00:30:37,086
several other councilmen
and politicians
550
00:30:37,253 --> 00:30:39,296
are stockholders
in Carnegie Collections…
551
00:30:39,463 --> 00:30:42,925
as well as the Deputy Police
Commander, one william Jefferson.
552
00:30:43,092 --> 00:30:46,136
Is this personal? Is that why
you want to bring the feds in?
553
00:30:46,303 --> 00:30:48,138
I'd love to nail the bastard.
554
00:30:48,305 --> 00:30:51,308
But with him involved, one
surveillance leak, we're dead.
555
00:30:51,475 --> 00:30:53,519
We're secure
with the Bureau doing it.
556
00:30:53,686 --> 00:30:56,689
Let the feds have the ink
on municipal corruption.
557
00:30:56,856 --> 00:31:00,526
They may even help me get a
conspiracy to murder on these bozos.
558
00:31:03,028 --> 00:31:05,281
You never know whose pants
are going to get dropped
559
00:31:05,447 --> 00:31:06,824
in a corruption scandal.
560
00:31:06,991 --> 00:31:08,784
Hey, this started
out is a mugging.
561
00:31:08,951 --> 00:31:11,954
I'll back you,
but don't bring me any names
562
00:31:12,121 --> 00:31:13,789
unless they're
dead-bang guilty.
563
00:31:13,956 --> 00:31:16,292
I want a smoking gun.
I want it in somebody's hand.
564
00:31:16,458 --> 00:31:18,544
Are you telling me tape?
Tape would be a start.
565
00:31:18,711 --> 00:31:20,838
Can I offer Scalisi immunity?
566
00:31:21,005 --> 00:31:23,757
Nope, it'll look like he's
naming people to save himself.
567
00:31:23,924 --> 00:31:26,260
I wouldn't want you to go out
on a limb here, Alfred.
568
00:31:26,427 --> 00:31:28,345
That's not what I get
the big bucks for.
569
00:31:30,180 --> 00:31:31,348
Yes?
570
00:31:31,515 --> 00:31:33,934
Mr. Stone
has an urgent call.
571
00:31:34,101 --> 00:31:35,477
A lawyer named Cosmatos…?
572
00:31:35,644 --> 00:31:37,646
Somebody wants to make a deal.
573
00:31:40,024 --> 00:31:42,318
Cosmatos and Scalisi
are in your office.
574
00:31:42,484 --> 00:31:44,987
Call Judge Ichazo.
Get warrants for Halsey,
575
00:31:45,154 --> 00:31:46,739
Scalisi, Jefferson's
phone records,
576
00:31:46,906 --> 00:31:48,073
and talk to Halsey's doctors.
577
00:31:48,240 --> 00:31:50,075
See when we can
interrogate him.
578
00:31:50,242 --> 00:31:51,785
So while we
steadfastly maintain
579
00:31:51,952 --> 00:31:54,705
that the slashing was done by
the youths seen fleeing the scene,
580
00:31:54,872 --> 00:31:56,999
you never know what'll
happen with the jury,
581
00:31:57,166 --> 00:31:59,960
so we would be willing to
negotiate some sort of an agreement.
582
00:32:00,127 --> 00:32:01,795
Don't do me any favors.
583
00:32:01,962 --> 00:32:04,298
I'm more than willing
to let the people decide.
584
00:32:04,465 --> 00:32:06,175
Bottom line…
585
00:32:06,342 --> 00:32:07,635
what do you want?
586
00:32:07,801 --> 00:32:09,678
Who paid you to do Halsey?
587
00:32:09,845 --> 00:32:11,847
Look, you want to talk
city corruption?
588
00:32:12,014 --> 00:32:13,974
No deal without the name.
589
00:32:15,351 --> 00:32:17,353
Pass.
590
00:32:20,481 --> 00:32:22,024
What's up?
591
00:32:22,191 --> 00:32:23,817
Hospital just called…
592
00:32:23,984 --> 00:32:25,945
Charles Halsey died
half an hour ago.
593
00:32:34,244 --> 00:32:35,496
We'll get back to you.
594
00:32:35,663 --> 00:32:37,414
I haven't even made an offer.
595
00:32:37,581 --> 00:32:39,750
Trust me, you wouldn't
like the counter.
596
00:32:41,752 --> 00:32:43,754
I can tell you things.
597
00:32:43,921 --> 00:32:46,090
Are you going to tell me
about parking tickets?
598
00:32:46,256 --> 00:32:49,259
Yours is already punched. We know
all about Carnegie Collections.
599
00:32:51,220 --> 00:32:52,554
I got a lot of names.
600
00:32:52,721 --> 00:32:55,057
I'll see you in court.
601
00:33:03,691 --> 00:33:05,985
I'm not talking
G-4's here.
602
00:33:06,151 --> 00:33:08,946
These are your basic
elected officials
603
00:33:09,113 --> 00:33:10,906
and a Deputy Police Commander.
604
00:33:13,117 --> 00:33:15,869
Don't have him
make me call Security.
605
00:33:16,036 --> 00:33:17,621
Come on, Tony.
606
00:33:17,788 --> 00:33:21,917
There is no way that I'm
going down alone behind this.
607
00:33:22,084 --> 00:33:24,211
What do you want?
608
00:33:24,378 --> 00:33:25,963
Want? I want it all. You testify.
609
00:33:26,130 --> 00:33:27,965
Give names, dates, amounts.
610
00:33:28,132 --> 00:33:30,050
You flush all those
true-blue public officials.
611
00:33:30,217 --> 00:33:31,885
And that gets me a walk?
612
00:33:32,052 --> 00:33:34,805
Only way you walk
is you say who gave the order.
613
00:33:40,728 --> 00:33:42,438
You know I can't do that.
614
00:33:42,604 --> 00:33:45,524
No Masucci, no free lunch.
615
00:33:45,691 --> 00:33:47,401
But the public officials
could lead to a plea
616
00:33:47,568 --> 00:33:49,319
of let's say…
"assault"?
617
00:33:50,738 --> 00:33:52,740
Let's say,
"voluntary manslaughter."
618
00:33:52,906 --> 00:33:54,116
Say "involuntary."
619
00:33:54,283 --> 00:33:57,119
Then he wears j a
wire. Are you crazy?
620
00:33:57,286 --> 00:33:58,871
They'll know I've been popped.
They'll smell it.
621
00:33:59,038 --> 00:34:00,706
You let me worry about that.
622
00:34:03,042 --> 00:34:05,294
What kind of sentencing
recommendation?
623
00:34:05,461 --> 00:34:07,212
Depends on what's on the tape.
624
00:34:10,674 --> 00:34:13,510
"Tick-tock,"
gentlemen.
625
00:34:22,936 --> 00:34:24,938
Write it up.
626
00:34:28,650 --> 00:34:32,071
The guy had arteries
the diameter of capillaries.
627
00:34:32,237 --> 00:34:34,531
With the traumatic loss of
six units of blood, there was
628
00:34:34,698 --> 00:34:37,326
a causative connection between
the assault and the coronary?
629
00:34:37,493 --> 00:34:39,828
Come on, guys, you don't
want to ask me that.
630
00:34:39,995 --> 00:34:42,122
- "Causative connection"?
- Whoa, wait a minute.
631
00:34:42,289 --> 00:34:45,125
Mr. Halsey had a regular
physician, didn't he, Dr. Goldberg?
632
00:34:45,292 --> 00:34:47,878
Yes, he did. And he described
Halsey as being in good health?
633
00:34:48,045 --> 00:34:49,671
Uh-huh. He was alive
a week ago, correct?
634
00:34:49,838 --> 00:34:53,217
As far as I could tell. Somebody
cut his throat with a straight razor…
635
00:34:53,383 --> 00:34:56,428
severing an artery and vocal
cords? And other connective tissue.
636
00:34:56,595 --> 00:34:58,388
And now
Mr. Halsey's dead?
637
00:34:58,555 --> 00:34:59,932
Yes, that's correct.
638
00:35:00,099 --> 00:35:02,434
Thank you, Dr. Goldberg.
639
00:35:06,146 --> 00:35:09,149
It's neat, it's clean.
It's interagency cooperation.
640
00:35:09,316 --> 00:35:11,276
And we may get a
murder-for-hire j conspiracy
641
00:35:11,443 --> 00:35:13,278
while you get another
nail for your RICO.
642
00:35:13,445 --> 00:35:16,031
How did I get so lucky?
643
00:35:16,198 --> 00:35:18,617
A high-level cop is involved.
I can't run this through the PD.
644
00:35:18,784 --> 00:35:21,995
The DA know about this?
Has his full approval.
645
00:35:22,162 --> 00:35:24,915
We go to trial first.
646
00:35:25,082 --> 00:35:27,876
You want to win your RICO,
go in with one of five counts
647
00:35:28,043 --> 00:35:29,628
having already been proven
in state court.
648
00:35:34,758 --> 00:35:35,801
What do you need?
649
00:35:35,968 --> 00:35:38,095
An FBI surveillance team.
650
00:35:41,682 --> 00:35:43,517
Get me Jackson at the Bureau.
651
00:35:43,684 --> 00:35:45,811
Let me see if I've got this.
652
00:35:45,978 --> 00:35:48,063
Halsey's been called
before the grand jury,
653
00:35:48,230 --> 00:35:51,525
big names figure he's going to name
them, give the contract to Scalisi.
654
00:35:51,692 --> 00:35:53,986
But Scalisi screwed up.
The black kids come along.
655
00:35:54,153 --> 00:35:56,321
And we got lucky, they
came up with the ID.
656
00:35:56,488 --> 00:35:59,074
So why are you kicking? I
told you, It's a weak case.
657
00:35:59,241 --> 00:36:02,911
It's all circumstantial, and
they're no choirboys as witnesses.
658
00:36:03,078 --> 00:36:04,621
Spare me the waltz, all right?
659
00:36:04,788 --> 00:36:07,332
This is all off the record
until after an indictment.
660
00:36:07,499 --> 00:36:10,377
But I get an exclusive
on the arrest?
661
00:36:10,544 --> 00:36:13,463
I can't promise you
that. Sure you can.
662
00:36:13,630 --> 00:36:15,799
You get an exclusive
663
00:36:15,966 --> 00:36:19,678
on the highest ranking
defendant's arrest site…
664
00:36:19,845 --> 00:36:22,472
will you run it?
665
00:36:24,391 --> 00:36:27,811
"Assistant District Attorney
Benjamin Stone stated
666
00:36:27,978 --> 00:36:30,814
that his office did not feel
that Scalisi's causative role
667
00:36:30,981 --> 00:36:33,859
in Halsey's death could be proven
beyond a reasonable doubt."
668
00:36:34,026 --> 00:36:36,403
A tad doctrinaire,
but not too bad.
669
00:36:36,570 --> 00:36:38,822
Scalisi comes out
smelling like a rose.
670
00:36:38,989 --> 00:36:41,074
So long as they buy
he held his mud.
671
00:36:41,241 --> 00:36:44,703
Jefferson called me
for a status report.
672
00:36:44,870 --> 00:36:46,705
You told him about this case?
673
00:36:46,872 --> 00:36:49,833
I had to. He would have been
suspicious if I didn't talk to him.
674
00:36:50,000 --> 00:36:53,253
I gave him the "we had
to let Scalisi walk" rap.
675
00:36:53,420 --> 00:36:55,339
How did he take it?
676
00:36:55,505 --> 00:36:57,341
He was absolutely furious.
677
00:36:57,507 --> 00:36:59,843
I'm sure it was
an Oscar performance.
678
00:37:00,010 --> 00:37:02,512
You're certain
he's guilty, right?
679
00:37:02,679 --> 00:37:04,806
I'm not certain, I'm positive!
680
00:37:04,973 --> 00:37:07,809
You take her through
her testimony?
681
00:37:07,976 --> 00:37:10,812
She's still upset about not
having a lawyer with her.
682
00:37:10,979 --> 00:37:13,106
Did you explain to her
how the grand jury works…
683
00:37:13,273 --> 00:37:14,983
no lawyer unless
you're a defendant…
684
00:37:15,150 --> 00:37:17,110
that we need her testimony
to get a wire-tap?
685
00:37:17,277 --> 00:37:19,029
She understands. She's not
happy about it, but she gets it.
686
00:37:19,196 --> 00:37:20,155
All right.
687
00:37:24,076 --> 00:37:26,578
Did Charles Halsey
tell you of other officials
688
00:37:26,745 --> 00:37:28,497
who were involved
in this conspiracy
689
00:37:28,664 --> 00:37:30,999
to award the Traffic
Violation Bureau's
690
00:37:31,166 --> 00:37:33,627
collection contract
to Carnegie Collections?
691
00:37:33,794 --> 00:37:35,796
He mentioned people that I knew
692
00:37:35,963 --> 00:37:38,590
as well as people that
I had never heard of.
693
00:37:38,757 --> 00:37:40,717
Which people that
you knew personally?
694
00:37:42,177 --> 00:37:44,513
Anthony Scalisi
and william Jefferson.
695
00:37:44,680 --> 00:37:47,391
And did he tell you
the amount of money involved?
696
00:37:47,557 --> 00:37:50,936
He said that there was
over a million dollars
697
00:37:51,103 --> 00:37:53,981
available to pay off
city officials per year.
698
00:37:58,068 --> 00:37:59,194
See who your client drew?
699
00:37:59,361 --> 00:38:01,113
No, I haven't
seen the calendar.
700
00:38:01,280 --> 00:38:02,364
"Let-'em-walk"
Falk.
701
00:38:02,531 --> 00:38:05,284
Hey, I didn't want him to plead.
It was his own decision.
702
00:38:05,450 --> 00:38:07,661
Anyway, he got the call. From whom?
703
00:38:07,828 --> 00:38:09,788
Scalisi wants it
to be a surprise.
704
00:38:09,955 --> 00:38:11,540
This isn't
a parlor game, Eddie.
705
00:38:11,707 --> 00:38:14,710
He's worried somebody might not
show up and you'll think he's lying.
706
00:38:14,876 --> 00:38:16,503
Where's the meet?
707
00:38:16,670 --> 00:38:18,630
- "Cafe Bruxelles."
- When?
708
00:38:18,797 --> 00:38:21,133
Tomorrow night,
8:00.
709
00:38:21,300 --> 00:38:24,261
Bring him to
the Bureau at 6:00.
710
00:38:25,595 --> 00:38:27,389
You know who's coming?
711
00:38:27,556 --> 00:38:29,308
Mm-hmm.
712
00:38:30,475 --> 00:38:32,602
Bad?
713
00:38:32,769 --> 00:38:35,689
I hope you don't have
any political aspirations.
714
00:38:38,275 --> 00:38:40,485
Just make sure he's on time.
715
00:38:45,949 --> 00:38:48,994
I'll start with you, take you through
the arrest of Lewis and Jackson.
716
00:38:49,161 --> 00:38:50,662
Let Max do Scalisi.
717
00:38:50,829 --> 00:38:52,664
How did you let
those two kids plead?
718
00:38:52,831 --> 00:38:55,042
Possession of stolen
property, six months.
719
00:38:55,208 --> 00:38:58,754
Are you going to be able to nail
Jefferson for anything worse?
720
00:38:58,920 --> 00:39:01,590
Looks like it.
721
00:39:01,757 --> 00:39:04,801
What goes around, comes around.
722
00:39:04,968 --> 00:39:07,304
These guys smell anything
hinky, they'll clam up.
723
00:39:07,471 --> 00:39:10,182
Just be cool- you beat the system—
told the cops to "shine it on."
724
00:39:10,349 --> 00:39:13,018
You want to tell
us who's coming to this party?
725
00:39:13,185 --> 00:39:16,480
Didn't anybody
tell him the deal?
726
00:39:16,646 --> 00:39:18,357
Whoever comes, comes.
727
00:39:18,523 --> 00:39:21,026
These guys are gonna hang
themselves, I ain't ratting on them.
728
00:39:21,193 --> 00:39:22,986
But I'll tell you
who ain't coming…
729
00:39:23,153 --> 00:39:25,113
Masucci. There is no
way I give up my boss.
730
00:39:25,280 --> 00:39:26,865
Hold your water, Tony.
731
00:39:27,032 --> 00:39:29,034
We wouldn't want you
to short yourself out.
732
00:39:29,201 --> 00:39:32,204
Just make sure one of the
principles implicates himself.
733
00:39:32,371 --> 00:39:34,164
Right, right, right.
734
00:39:40,712 --> 00:39:42,923
We've gone through
their phone records.
735
00:39:43,090 --> 00:39:46,051
Halsey's talking to Scalisi and Jefferson
10- 15 times a week.
736
00:39:46,218 --> 00:39:49,471
Conti even called Jefferson when
he was on a police junket to Tokyo.
737
00:39:49,638 --> 00:39:52,391
Whoa, whoa, Scalisi and
Halsey, I understand,
738
00:39:52,557 --> 00:39:56,103
But why Jefferson? He's a Deputy
Commander, and police handle traffic…
739
00:39:56,269 --> 00:40:00,190
- Look at that
- Do you believe these guys?
740
00:40:00,357 --> 00:40:03,443
Damn, limo's got a New York
City shield on the bumper.
741
00:40:12,911 --> 00:40:15,205
Bingo. Who is it?
742
00:40:15,372 --> 00:40:17,457
Borough President Conti's
in front,
743
00:40:17,624 --> 00:40:19,709
that guy in the middle
is Jefferson,
744
00:40:19,876 --> 00:40:22,754
and the one in the blazer
is Councilman Van Damme.
745
00:40:22,921 --> 00:40:25,549
Ain't politics great?
746
00:40:33,223 --> 00:40:36,601
I was was worried it would come
up at the mayor's press conference.
747
00:40:36,768 --> 00:40:40,730
The commissioner was
asking about it every day.
748
00:40:42,232 --> 00:40:45,694
This has been a rough
few weeks on all of us.
749
00:40:46,027 --> 00:40:49,531
The DA's decision—
it's extremely gratifying.
750
00:40:49,698 --> 00:40:52,742
I'd like to propose a toast.
751
00:40:54,453 --> 00:40:56,163
To Tony Scalisi…
Hear, hear.
752
00:40:56,329 --> 00:40:58,498
Who knows how to be
a stand up guy.
753
00:40:58,665 --> 00:41:01,793
It's about as damning as
a Rotary Club meeting. Shh.
754
00:41:01,960 --> 00:41:05,172
We know that.
Tony…
755
00:41:06,465 --> 00:41:07,716
we don't want you to think
756
00:41:07,883 --> 00:41:10,385
we're not grateful for
everything you've done.
757
00:41:10,552 --> 00:41:14,139
Hey, what are friends for?
758
00:41:14,306 --> 00:41:17,893
Maybe we should get you to take care
of that worm, Lasco, too, eh, Tony?
759
00:41:18,059 --> 00:41:19,561
- Yeah, half the politicians…
- God Almighty!
760
00:41:19,728 --> 00:41:22,230
What's the
problem? It's Greco.
761
00:41:22,397 --> 00:41:24,274
One of Masucci's mechanics.
762
00:41:24,441 --> 00:41:27,944
- He usually eats in the bar. What do you want to do?
- Let it play.
763
00:41:28,111 --> 00:41:31,156
Van Damme:… Send you to the
hospital to do some additional surgery.
764
00:41:31,323 --> 00:41:33,492
I thought the jerk
was never going to croak.
765
00:41:33,658 --> 00:41:35,952
These things take time.
766
00:41:36,119 --> 00:41:39,331
Tony, you know if there's
ever anything you need from us…
767
00:41:39,498 --> 00:41:42,501
Come on… He's probably
going in for dinner…
768
00:41:42,667 --> 00:41:43,835
wait! He's going
to incriminate himself!
769
00:41:44,002 --> 00:41:46,588
We want you to have this.
770
00:41:48,256 --> 00:41:50,383
Wow, sir.
771
00:41:50,550 --> 00:41:53,637
It's nice to know we're all
in the same boat together.
772
00:41:53,803 --> 00:41:55,514
So who contributed?
773
00:41:55,680 --> 00:41:57,766
You really want to know.
774
00:41:57,933 --> 00:41:59,851
Absolutely.
775
00:42:00,018 --> 00:42:02,020
Me, Jefferson,
776
00:42:02,187 --> 00:42:03,813
Van Damme.
777
00:42:03,980 --> 00:42:06,191
We got it! Tell the
agents in the restaurant!
778
00:42:06,358 --> 00:42:07,859
They're not wearing radios. what?!
779
00:42:08,026 --> 00:42:09,903
- You can't hide the wires.
- This guy's not going to the bar!
780
00:42:10,070 --> 00:42:11,488
Oh, my God!
781
00:42:26,211 --> 00:42:28,171
Freeze, Greco!
782
00:42:45,355 --> 00:42:47,482
Don't say anything!
Not a word!
783
00:42:47,649 --> 00:42:49,568
Wait for your lawyer…
784
00:42:59,202 --> 00:43:01,663
Ladies and
gentlemen of the jury,
785
00:43:01,830 --> 00:43:04,541
in the coming weeks,
786
00:43:04,708 --> 00:43:06,668
you will hear
how an investigation
787
00:43:06,835 --> 00:43:09,337
of what seemed to be
a common mugging
788
00:43:09,504 --> 00:43:11,923
uncovered a conspiracy
789
00:43:12,090 --> 00:43:15,135
at the highest levels
of city government,
790
00:43:15,302 --> 00:43:18,930
a conspiracy that led
to three violent deaths.
791
00:43:19,097 --> 00:43:21,766
You will learn how these men…
792
00:43:22,559 --> 00:43:25,895
driven by the basest
kind of greed,
793
00:43:26,062 --> 00:43:28,481
violated their public trust,
794
00:43:28,648 --> 00:43:31,484
and conspired with a
member of organized crime
795
00:43:31,651 --> 00:43:33,820
to murder another
public official.
796
00:43:39,200 --> 00:43:40,910
I ask you to weigh
797
00:43:41,077 --> 00:43:42,954
all the evidence
that is presented.
798
00:43:43,121 --> 00:43:45,707
It is my responsibility
799
00:43:45,874 --> 00:43:48,877
to show you their crimes.
800
00:43:50,754 --> 00:43:53,381
It is your responsibility…
801
00:43:57,177 --> 00:43:58,803
to see that justice is done.
