Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:00,710 --> 00:00:03,671
Narrator: In the criminal justice
system, the people are represented
2
00:00:03,838 --> 00:00:06,298
by two separate yet
equally important groups…
3
00:00:06,465 --> 00:00:08,175
The police who
investigate crime,
4
00:00:08,342 --> 00:00:11,178
and the district attorneys
who prosecute the offenders.
5
00:00:11,345 --> 00:00:13,014
These are their stories.
6
00:00:22,648 --> 00:00:24,358
Course 1502,
7
00:00:24,525 --> 00:00:26,736
Wednesdays, 7:00.
8
00:00:26,902 --> 00:00:28,946
A college degree isn't
good enough for you.
9
00:00:30,114 --> 00:00:31,949
Something wrong with
me improving myself?
10
00:00:32,116 --> 00:00:34,452
Improve my stomach, will you?
11
00:00:34,618 --> 00:00:36,328
Roast beef on rye, coffee…
12
00:00:36,495 --> 00:00:38,122
Both: Very light, no sugar,
13
00:00:38,289 --> 00:00:40,124
no mayo, no mustard.
14
00:00:40,291 --> 00:00:41,792
Very good.
15
00:00:46,714 --> 00:00:48,090
Man: I ain't
talking, first of all.
16
00:00:48,257 --> 00:00:50,051
Let's get the stuff. You'll
get your money back.
17
00:00:50,217 --> 00:00:51,427
Yo… Don't you
put your hands…
18
00:00:51,594 --> 00:00:53,387
Freddo!
19
00:01:09,278 --> 00:01:11,280
Go! Go, man! Go!
20
00:01:12,281 --> 00:01:13,741
Hold it!
21
00:01:14,742 --> 00:01:16,744
Don't move!
22
00:01:17,995 --> 00:01:20,039
Don't even breathe.
23
00:01:23,375 --> 00:01:25,878
Drop down! Now!
24
00:01:45,815 --> 00:01:47,900
He drew on me.
25
00:02:05,292 --> 00:02:06,961
Call it in, Freddo.
26
00:02:09,171 --> 00:02:11,215
Now, Freddo!
27
00:02:12,925 --> 00:02:14,760
Kid's dead.
28
00:03:46,435 --> 00:03:48,020
Logan: What about your kid?
29
00:03:48,437 --> 00:03:50,356
Cop: Kid I was after
I never got a decent look at.
30
00:03:50,522 --> 00:03:53,734
He was young… 13, 14.
31
00:03:53,901 --> 00:03:55,861
What about the one that
got away from Freddo?
32
00:03:56,028 --> 00:03:57,905
Him I saw. He had a blotch,
33
00:03:58,072 --> 00:03:59,740
you know, a
birthmark, on his face,
34
00:03:59,907 --> 00:04:02,826
running from here down to here.
35
00:04:08,874 --> 00:04:10,834
Somebody heard that shot.
36
00:04:11,001 --> 00:04:13,837
In this neighborhood?
You couldn't get a witness to a sunrise.
37
00:04:14,004 --> 00:04:17,174
Bang on a few windows.
ID on the dead kid?
38
00:04:17,341 --> 00:04:19,969
- Nothing.
- Great.
39
00:04:20,135 --> 00:04:22,596
Freddo, go home, get some sleep.
40
00:04:22,763 --> 00:04:24,556
Yeah, sleep.
41
00:04:27,351 --> 00:04:30,604
Snitch told him drug sale's
going on down the block.
42
00:04:30,771 --> 00:04:32,273
No muss, no fuss.
43
00:04:32,439 --> 00:04:34,191
Punk drew on him. Self-defense.
44
00:04:34,358 --> 00:04:36,151
That's it? Wrap it up?
45
00:04:36,318 --> 00:04:37,861
As far as Internal
Affairs is concerned,
46
00:04:38,028 --> 00:04:39,530
yeah, it's closed.
47
00:04:39,697 --> 00:04:41,448
We've still got to do
our own investigation.
48
00:04:41,615 --> 00:04:43,867
We're all one family
here, Sergeant.
49
00:04:44,034 --> 00:04:45,786
You an only child?
50
00:04:45,953 --> 00:04:48,205
I got people in my family,
I wouldn't believe 'em
51
00:04:48,372 --> 00:04:50,457
they told me the sky was blue.
52
00:04:51,917 --> 00:04:53,919
Max: You think I like
investigating cops?
53
00:04:54,086 --> 00:04:55,879
It's like I've got something
stuck in my throat.
54
00:04:56,046 --> 00:04:57,881
That's not what it looked
like to that Lieutenant…
55
00:04:58,048 --> 00:05:00,009
What his name, Gowdy?
From Internal Affairs.
56
00:05:00,175 --> 00:05:02,720
What, open and
shut? You buy that?
57
00:05:02,886 --> 00:05:04,638
What're you selling, Max?
58
00:05:04,805 --> 00:05:07,349
- No witnesses, a dead kid.
- So?
59
00:05:07,516 --> 00:05:09,476
If a civilian shot a kid,
no witnesses…
60
00:05:09,643 --> 00:05:10,894
All I'm saying is,
61
00:05:11,061 --> 00:05:12,980
they wouldn't wrap
it up in 10 minutes.
62
00:05:14,189 --> 00:05:16,734
$4 an hour I paid him.
63
00:05:16,900 --> 00:05:19,111
Good money for delivery.
64
00:05:19,278 --> 00:05:20,696
Disappears.
65
00:05:20,863 --> 00:05:22,906
This shooting in the
neighborhood… you hear about it?
66
00:05:23,073 --> 00:05:24,491
We're canvassing
all the merchants
67
00:05:24,658 --> 00:05:27,411
looking for a young man, 22, 23,
68
00:05:27,578 --> 00:05:30,914
black, with a
birthmark on his cheek.
69
00:05:31,081 --> 00:05:34,335
I got five orders
waiting to deliver.
70
00:05:34,501 --> 00:05:37,421
How long you have to wait before
you report somebody missing, eh?
71
00:05:37,588 --> 00:05:40,591
A birthmark? Like this?
72
00:05:40,758 --> 00:05:43,302
He comes in every afternoon.
73
00:05:43,469 --> 00:05:45,262
He buys two chocolate moon pies.
74
00:05:45,429 --> 00:05:48,057
Two. Hangs out
in the schoolyard.
75
00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:55,272
How're you doing?
76
00:05:55,439 --> 00:05:58,984
♪ You ain't cool get outta
my school I'm no fool ♪
77
00:05:59,151 --> 00:06:01,528
You see a guy with a
birthmark on his face?
78
00:06:01,695 --> 00:06:04,114

79
00:06:04,281 --> 00:06:05,908
♪ Silky's the name

80
00:06:06,075 --> 00:06:07,368
Silky?
81
00:06:07,534 --> 00:06:09,078
I wouldn't tell them nothing.
82
00:06:09,244 --> 00:06:10,788
Silky who?
83
00:06:10,954 --> 00:06:12,998
Ford. Lives over on Vice Avenue.
84
00:06:13,165 --> 00:06:14,792
108.
85
00:06:23,217 --> 00:06:24,676
Woman: Silky?
86
00:06:24,843 --> 00:06:25,969
Silky Ford.
87
00:06:26,136 --> 00:06:28,472
Live around here?
Don't I wish he didn't.
88
00:06:28,639 --> 00:06:30,808
He's one of your favorites, huh?
89
00:06:30,974 --> 00:06:34,478
Some boys make trouble
'cause they got trouble.
90
00:06:34,645 --> 00:06:37,147
Silky, he's looking for trouble.
91
00:06:37,314 --> 00:06:40,275
What'd he do, walk
off a white man?
92
00:06:40,442 --> 00:06:42,361
Is it this building here?
93
00:06:42,528 --> 00:06:44,988
You all only come up here
94
00:06:45,155 --> 00:06:46,698
when a white man gets hurt.
95
00:06:46,865 --> 00:06:48,700
Why aren't you
here all the time?
96
00:06:48,867 --> 00:06:50,452
Silky Ford?
97
00:06:51,995 --> 00:06:53,497
Fourth floor.
98
00:06:53,664 --> 00:06:55,582
Just come in.
99
00:06:55,749 --> 00:06:57,334
Naw, man, nobody here but me.
100
00:06:57,501 --> 00:06:59,044
Let's take a look.
101
00:06:59,211 --> 00:07:01,171
Oh, no, you blind
without a warrant!
102
00:07:01,338 --> 00:07:03,132
Let me see that.
103
00:07:03,298 --> 00:07:05,342
Max: Black male, 5'7",
104
00:07:05,509 --> 00:07:07,803
birthmark on his right cheek.
105
00:07:07,970 --> 00:07:09,596
Birthmark, right cheek…
106
00:07:09,763 --> 00:07:11,515
oh, yeah, that sound like Silky.
107
00:07:11,682 --> 00:07:13,851
- You seen him lately?
- No, he's…
108
00:07:14,017 --> 00:07:15,811
been in Philadelphia
visiting his sister.
109
00:07:15,978 --> 00:07:17,980
She's in the hospital. Mumps.
110
00:07:20,023 --> 00:07:23,360
Whoa, be gentle, you
want to tear my suits?
111
00:07:23,527 --> 00:07:25,279
Where you going, man?
112
00:07:25,446 --> 00:07:27,489
That's just the kitchen.
Ain't nobody in there.
113
00:07:33,495 --> 00:07:35,539
Waxing the floor, Silky?
114
00:07:35,706 --> 00:07:38,083
Yeah. Yeah, we're cleaning up.
115
00:07:38,250 --> 00:07:40,335
Hey, come on, man!
116
00:07:40,502 --> 00:07:42,171
Who'd you clean up last night?
117
00:07:42,337 --> 00:07:43,839
I was home, all night long.
118
00:07:44,006 --> 00:07:45,841
Doing the floor? Yeah.
119
00:07:46,008 --> 00:07:47,551
They got dirty real fast.
120
00:07:47,718 --> 00:07:49,178
We had a party. Who was here?
121
00:07:49,344 --> 00:07:51,388
Me and Richard.
It was a private party.
122
00:07:51,555 --> 00:07:53,724
Let's take a ride, Silky, huh?
123
00:07:53,891 --> 00:07:55,893
Hey, I got… I got things to
do, man. I got a busy day…
124
00:07:56,059 --> 00:07:58,770
Your first appointment
is with us, okay?
125
00:07:58,937 --> 00:08:00,898
- What you looking at?
- Come on, man!
126
00:08:01,398 --> 00:08:04,109
Max: Take Davis out the
back before Freddo comes in.
127
00:08:06,361 --> 00:08:07,863
Davis?
128
00:08:08,030 --> 00:08:10,324
What, you think he's
going to lie for Freddo?
129
00:08:10,491 --> 00:08:12,284
No, they're both choirboys.
130
00:08:13,660 --> 00:08:14,912
Ready? Yeah.
131
00:08:15,078 --> 00:08:17,706
I even found another black
guy with a birthmark. Great.
132
00:08:26,089 --> 00:08:27,841
Number three.
133
00:08:28,967 --> 00:08:31,303
Number three,
step forward, please.
134
00:08:39,102 --> 00:08:40,938
Yeah.
135
00:08:41,104 --> 00:08:43,232
More than the others.
136
00:08:43,398 --> 00:08:45,651
I'm playing elimination here.
137
00:08:46,610 --> 00:08:48,403
I saw him 10
seconds, in the dark.
138
00:08:48,570 --> 00:08:50,113
You want me to say I'm sure?
139
00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:51,949
I'm not.
140
00:08:52,115 --> 00:08:54,576
Hey, Davis, take
it easy, all right?
141
00:08:54,743 --> 00:08:56,995
I'm not asking you to lie.
142
00:09:07,631 --> 00:09:09,258
Could be…
143
00:09:09,424 --> 00:09:10,801
Could be number three.
144
00:09:10,968 --> 00:09:13,053
Jeez.
145
00:09:13,220 --> 00:09:16,014
I'm not sure enough for an ID.
146
00:09:17,641 --> 00:09:19,017
It was dark.
147
00:09:21,103 --> 00:09:22,312
What was that about,
148
00:09:22,479 --> 00:09:24,147
keeping those two apart?
149
00:09:24,314 --> 00:09:27,067
10 years ago, I'm working
Central Park in the fall.
150
00:09:27,234 --> 00:09:29,152
The whole place
smells like a sewer.
151
00:09:29,319 --> 00:09:30,821
Captain says I'm imagining it.
152
00:09:30,988 --> 00:09:32,656
Lieutenant says
I'm imagining it.
153
00:09:32,823 --> 00:09:34,658
Turns out it's some
tree with flowers that rot.
154
00:09:34,825 --> 00:09:36,493
Lasts about a week.
155
00:09:37,828 --> 00:09:40,581
Hey… what, am I
missing something here?
156
00:09:41,999 --> 00:09:43,667
This thing smells, too.
157
00:09:43,834 --> 00:09:46,003
Internal Affairs
says I'm imagining it,
158
00:09:46,169 --> 00:09:48,088
Cragen says I'm imagining it…
159
00:09:48,255 --> 00:09:49,881
And you're not imagining it?
160
00:09:50,048 --> 00:09:52,009
On Silky? Two maybes,
161
00:09:52,175 --> 00:09:53,802
both cops aren't sure?
162
00:09:53,969 --> 00:09:56,054
Max, these guys are cops.
163
00:09:56,221 --> 00:09:58,181
They're cops.
164
00:09:58,348 --> 00:10:01,101
90% of all police officers
forget about killing.
165
00:10:01,268 --> 00:10:03,228
They go 30 years,
never fire a gun.
166
00:10:03,395 --> 00:10:06,231
Freddo, I heard this
morning, second time.
167
00:10:08,859 --> 00:10:10,652
Makes you wonder, that's all.
168
00:10:10,819 --> 00:10:12,404
Yeah, and it also
makes you wonder
169
00:10:12,571 --> 00:10:15,532
how many cops died thinking,
"That's not a gun in his hand."
170
00:10:19,745 --> 00:10:21,705
Well, we can't hold Silky.
171
00:10:27,878 --> 00:10:30,547
I sent the prints out. No ID.
172
00:10:30,714 --> 00:10:32,215
No record?
173
00:10:32,382 --> 00:10:34,968
Came up blank.
You see that evidence bag?
174
00:10:35,135 --> 00:10:36,887
What evidence bag?
175
00:10:37,888 --> 00:10:39,556
I sent it over.
176
00:10:39,723 --> 00:10:43,226
"Wheel of Fortune."
The kid had $3,000 bucks on him.
177
00:10:43,393 --> 00:10:45,020
In his sock.
178
00:10:47,564 --> 00:10:49,441
There's one set of prints.
179
00:10:49,608 --> 00:10:51,068
The dead kid?
180
00:10:51,234 --> 00:10:52,444
Yeah.
181
00:10:52,611 --> 00:10:54,780
Only one set of prints, like
somebody wiped the gun.
182
00:10:54,946 --> 00:10:56,865
Hey, Max, you're
drawing conclusions.
183
00:10:57,032 --> 00:10:58,742
Let's just say
I heard a dog bark.
184
00:10:58,909 --> 00:11:00,077
Serial number?
185
00:11:00,243 --> 00:11:02,829
It's clean.
Not a file job… acid.
186
00:11:02,996 --> 00:11:06,124
Dog's barking
louder. Ballistics.
187
00:11:30,524 --> 00:11:32,734
Beautiful piece, that Magnum.
188
00:11:34,444 --> 00:11:36,613
Tender loving
care to clean it off.
189
00:11:36,780 --> 00:11:38,323
Has it been worked on?
190
00:11:38,490 --> 00:11:40,492
By someone very good.
191
00:11:44,287 --> 00:11:47,249
R-10 twist. Clear as a bell.
192
00:11:49,459 --> 00:11:53,422
Let's go back a few months,
see if we can find a match.
193
00:11:55,215 --> 00:11:56,758
Logan: Magnum's clean.
194
00:11:56,925 --> 00:11:58,051
Sources?
195
00:11:58,218 --> 00:11:59,970
Hoover in Washington Heights,
196
00:12:00,137 --> 00:12:02,389
Bernie on 116th Street.
197
00:12:03,598 --> 00:12:05,392
Silky'd stay close to home.
198
00:12:06,601 --> 00:12:08,270
- Bernie.
- Bang.
199
00:12:09,646 --> 00:12:11,314
Magnums.
200
00:12:11,481 --> 00:12:13,066
They're like opinions…
Everybody's got one.
201
00:12:13,233 --> 00:12:15,110
It's been cleaned up.
202
00:12:19,114 --> 00:12:20,657
Yours?
203
00:12:20,824 --> 00:12:22,325
Nice work, whoever did it.
204
00:12:22,492 --> 00:12:23,952
New kind of lock?
205
00:12:24,119 --> 00:12:26,747
Double cylinder, spring release.
206
00:12:26,913 --> 00:12:28,498
Yeah, illegal in this city.
207
00:12:28,665 --> 00:12:30,500
To install, not sell.
208
00:12:30,667 --> 00:12:32,043
Unpickable.
209
00:12:32,210 --> 00:12:34,671
Yeah, for six months.
Single cylinder?
210
00:12:34,838 --> 00:12:36,757
Wait a minute…
211
00:12:36,923 --> 00:12:38,175
This one hot?
212
00:12:38,341 --> 00:12:39,968
No?
213
00:12:40,135 --> 00:12:42,929
Bust me for a misdemeanor.
I'd be out in an hour.
214
00:12:43,096 --> 00:12:45,098
We keep busting you
and them hours add up.
215
00:12:47,517 --> 00:12:49,853
He dead? Never laid eyes on him.
216
00:12:54,983 --> 00:12:57,527
You lose a lot of business
when the door's locked.
217
00:12:59,196 --> 00:13:02,991
The Magnum's his.
A month ago. Six weeks.
218
00:13:03,158 --> 00:13:04,284
You positive?
219
00:13:04,451 --> 00:13:06,203
What do you want,
the name of his dog?
220
00:13:06,369 --> 00:13:07,662
Yeah, that's him.
221
00:13:10,540 --> 00:13:12,375
Oh, great. Hey! What?!
222
00:13:12,542 --> 00:13:13,877
The kid… the one the cop shot?
223
00:13:14,044 --> 00:13:15,670
He had your gun in his hand.
224
00:13:15,837 --> 00:13:19,090
Sing a song for me,
Silky. This is murder.
225
00:13:19,257 --> 00:13:20,967
If you're involved it
won't be probation.
226
00:13:21,134 --> 00:13:23,804
The other night, when you were
waxing the floor, this kid with you?
227
00:13:23,970 --> 00:13:26,598
I seen him around, but
I don't know his name.
228
00:13:26,765 --> 00:13:27,766
How did he get your gun?
229
00:13:27,933 --> 00:13:29,684
I sold it to him.
230
00:13:29,851 --> 00:13:31,812
You don't know his name
and you sold him your gun?
231
00:13:31,978 --> 00:13:33,188
I didn't need to know his name.
232
00:13:33,355 --> 00:13:34,898
A sister I know
brought him over.
233
00:13:35,065 --> 00:13:38,026
- What's her name?
- Doris. She's real fresh.
234
00:13:38,193 --> 00:13:39,528
Turn around and put your
hands on top of your head.
235
00:13:39,694 --> 00:13:40,779
For what?
236
00:13:40,946 --> 00:13:42,531
Turn around and put your
hands on top of your head!
237
00:13:42,697 --> 00:13:44,199
- Felony, Silky.
- Oh, man.
238
00:13:44,366 --> 00:13:46,952
You just confessed
to selling a weapon.
239
00:13:47,118 --> 00:13:48,703
You have the right
to remain silent.
240
00:13:48,870 --> 00:13:51,122
- Anything you say…
- What is this, a class D? Class E?
241
00:13:51,289 --> 00:13:52,707
- Shut up!
- It's a walk, I'm out in a day.
242
00:13:52,874 --> 00:13:54,751
- You have the right to an attorney…
- Silky: Big surprise.
243
00:13:54,918 --> 00:13:55,919
Logan: Shut up!
244
00:13:56,086 --> 00:13:57,879
Hey.
245
00:13:58,046 --> 00:14:00,799
You know what this
is going to cost me?
246
00:14:00,966 --> 00:14:02,968
My lawyer gets
$300 an hour, man.
247
00:14:03,134 --> 00:14:05,512
Think about where you
were the other night, Silky.
248
00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:07,305
I'd like to know.
249
00:14:11,309 --> 00:14:13,061
Logan: You know
the kid Freddo shot?
250
00:14:13,228 --> 00:14:15,355
Maybe he did have the gun.
251
00:14:15,522 --> 00:14:18,275
Right. Silky sold him a Magnum,
252
00:14:18,441 --> 00:14:20,193
he gave him an IOU
253
00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:22,279
and then stuck
$3,000 in his shoe.
254
00:14:22,445 --> 00:14:24,322
Max, he could've bought
the gun a week ago.
255
00:14:24,489 --> 00:14:26,908
Run this by me again.
256
00:14:27,075 --> 00:14:28,994
Freddo and Davis saw
a guy with a birthmark,
257
00:14:29,160 --> 00:14:31,037
but it wasn't Silky.
258
00:14:31,204 --> 00:14:33,123
Silky sold the dead kid a gun,
259
00:14:33,290 --> 00:14:35,292
but he wasn't there that night.
260
00:14:41,756 --> 00:14:43,174
I don't know any Silky,
261
00:14:43,341 --> 00:14:45,176
and I don't know
nothing about dope.
262
00:14:45,343 --> 00:14:47,512
Who said anything about dope?
263
00:14:47,679 --> 00:14:50,223
Well, I got nothing to tell you.
264
00:14:50,390 --> 00:14:52,142
How about we take
you down to the precinct?
265
00:14:52,309 --> 00:14:54,686
Come on, you can't take
me in. You got no charge.
266
00:14:54,853 --> 00:14:56,396
Doris, a guy is dead.
267
00:14:56,563 --> 00:14:58,481
- Yeah, well, a lot you care.
- Logan: Wrong.
268
00:14:58,648 --> 00:15:00,150
You care so much
you probably belong
269
00:15:00,317 --> 00:15:01,860
to the NAACP.
270
00:15:02,027 --> 00:15:03,987
You introduce this kid to Silky?
271
00:15:04,154 --> 00:15:06,448
Logan: He had Silky's gun
in his hand when he died.
272
00:15:06,615 --> 00:15:09,326
Silky says you were there
when he sold the kid the piece.
273
00:15:09,492 --> 00:15:12,954
No way. No way, that's a lie.
274
00:15:13,121 --> 00:15:15,123
Max: Who is he, Doris?
275
00:15:18,126 --> 00:15:20,295
It's Tommy Richardson.
276
00:15:20,462 --> 00:15:22,213
Where does he live?
277
00:15:25,008 --> 00:15:28,136
103rd. Lexington and Park.
278
00:15:29,971 --> 00:15:31,973
You seen your brother Tommy?
279
00:15:32,682 --> 00:15:34,225
He ain't here.
280
00:15:34,392 --> 00:15:36,645
Where is he?
281
00:15:36,811 --> 00:15:38,855
I don't know,
282
00:15:39,022 --> 00:15:41,524
but you better come back
when my mom gets home.
283
00:15:41,691 --> 00:15:44,194
Where is your mom, Abel?
284
00:15:44,361 --> 00:15:46,154
Working.
285
00:15:46,321 --> 00:15:48,365
Where's she work?
286
00:15:48,531 --> 00:15:50,867
In an office building.
She's a cleaning lady.
287
00:15:51,034 --> 00:15:53,620
She doesn't get back till 8:00.
288
00:15:55,038 --> 00:15:56,498
Abel, you…
289
00:15:56,665 --> 00:15:58,750
you'd better come with us.
290
00:15:58,917 --> 00:16:01,294
Abel, why don't you take
a chair right here, all right?
291
00:16:03,463 --> 00:16:04,965
Did you call Reverend Thayer?
292
00:16:05,131 --> 00:16:07,467
Yeah, we called him.
293
00:16:07,634 --> 00:16:10,136
So when's the last time
you saw your brother?
294
00:16:10,303 --> 00:16:12,681
Abel? No, no, it's all right.
295
00:16:12,847 --> 00:16:15,058
Reverend Thayer, Detective
Logan, Sergeant Greevey.
296
00:16:15,225 --> 00:16:17,185
Yeah. Bringing a boy down here,
297
00:16:17,352 --> 00:16:19,187
what's the reason? What'd he do?
298
00:16:19,354 --> 00:16:23,191
It seems his brother pulled a gun
on a policeman the night before last.
299
00:16:23,358 --> 00:16:26,361
No. No, no, no. You've
got the wrong boy.
300
00:16:26,528 --> 00:16:28,530
I don't think so.
301
00:16:54,097 --> 00:16:56,599
Tommy Richardson
wouldn't have a gun.
302
00:16:58,435 --> 00:17:00,854
Tommy Richardson was a…
303
00:17:01,021 --> 00:17:04,024
an honor student at
Princeton University.
304
00:17:30,967 --> 00:17:33,470
Reporter: Why would a Princeton
honors student shoot a policeman?
305
00:17:33,636 --> 00:17:35,930
Reporter #2: When is an
arrest going to be made?
306
00:17:36,097 --> 00:17:38,808
Reporter #3: Did you know Tommy
Richardson lectured against drugs?
307
00:17:38,975 --> 00:17:41,394
Can you make some
kind of a statement?
308
00:17:43,313 --> 00:17:45,023
Whatever happened that night,
309
00:17:45,190 --> 00:17:49,152
we just got shoved out a plane
at 30,000 feet, no parachute.
310
00:17:52,989 --> 00:17:55,533
Nice, straightforward
little case, huh?
311
00:17:55,700 --> 00:17:57,952
So the wrap-it-up—
no-problem boys said.
312
00:17:58,119 --> 00:17:59,788
We're going to get strung up.
313
00:17:59,954 --> 00:18:02,415
Why did Freddo and Davis
go soft on Silky at the lineup?
314
00:18:02,582 --> 00:18:04,167
They made a mistake.
315
00:18:04,334 --> 00:18:06,086
Yeah, they thought nobody
would know they were lying.
316
00:18:06,252 --> 00:18:08,254
If you're wrong, and
you go after cops…
317
00:18:08,421 --> 00:18:10,590
If I'm wrong,
I'll go the grand jury
318
00:18:10,757 --> 00:18:12,217
and say I killed the kid.
319
00:18:18,306 --> 00:18:20,475
Yeah, I can use the time off.
320
00:18:21,309 --> 00:18:23,394
You heard about the kid?
321
00:18:23,561 --> 00:18:25,480
Princeton?
322
00:18:25,647 --> 00:18:27,857
Yeah, just goes to show you.
323
00:18:28,024 --> 00:18:29,192
Homeboys.
324
00:18:29,359 --> 00:18:30,693
No matter how fancy
you dress 'em up,
325
00:18:30,860 --> 00:18:33,613
they can still gun down a
cop like any street scum.
326
00:18:33,780 --> 00:18:36,324
The dude you and Davis
327
00:18:36,491 --> 00:18:37,617
passed on in the lineup, Freddo,
328
00:18:37,784 --> 00:18:40,662
it's hard to believe that his
gun was there and he wasn't.
329
00:18:40,829 --> 00:18:44,249
Now if he happens
to say he was there,
330
00:18:44,415 --> 00:18:46,417
and contradicts you…
331
00:18:46,584 --> 00:18:48,044
What is this? What is this?!
332
00:18:48,211 --> 00:18:50,505
I got 23 years on the force!
333
00:18:50,672 --> 00:18:52,132
Now who are you going to trust,
334
00:18:52,298 --> 00:18:54,259
me or some eggplant?!
335
00:18:54,884 --> 00:18:58,388
Gee, Mike, he sure sounds
trustworthy to me. How about you?
336
00:18:59,013 --> 00:19:01,182
Hey, hey!
337
00:19:03,935 --> 00:19:05,770
Easy, Freddo.
338
00:19:06,187 --> 00:19:07,605
Next time you want
to ask me something,
339
00:19:07,772 --> 00:19:09,607
talk to my POBA rep.
340
00:19:11,609 --> 00:19:13,736
Man: The man has two decades.
341
00:19:13,903 --> 00:19:15,780
From where the Police Officers'
Benevolent Association stands,
342
00:19:15,947 --> 00:19:17,740
that merits a certain respect.
343
00:19:17,907 --> 00:19:19,951
"Benevolent" means
I don't investigate? Max…
344
00:19:20,118 --> 00:19:22,287
You arrive at the man's
home unannounced,
345
00:19:22,453 --> 00:19:25,456
and you treat him like
some punk murderer…
346
00:19:25,623 --> 00:19:28,459
- Freddo's no punk.
- Oh, but he is a murderer?
347
00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:31,004
That's what we're investigating.
348
00:19:31,171 --> 00:19:33,256
Cragen: It is Sergeant
Greevey's job to investigate,
349
00:19:33,423 --> 00:19:34,716
but Max, if you are
all over this officer
350
00:19:34,883 --> 00:19:36,342
it's going to have to stop.
351
00:19:37,802 --> 00:19:39,512
We'll talk.
352
00:19:45,143 --> 00:19:46,686
Rock and a hard place.
353
00:19:46,853 --> 00:19:48,813
My butt, Max. Mine, not yours.
354
00:19:48,980 --> 00:19:50,940
This is not a bad cop.
355
00:19:51,107 --> 00:19:53,067
Neither are you, neither am I,
356
00:19:53,234 --> 00:19:54,527
but some things we don't do.
357
00:19:54,694 --> 00:19:57,530
We don't fix this fast, the
brotherhood is going to crucify us.
358
00:19:57,697 --> 00:20:00,116
If we do, the black community
is going to crucify us.
359
00:20:00,283 --> 00:20:01,743
Then let's do it right.
360
00:20:16,758 --> 00:20:18,301
Careful.
361
00:20:18,760 --> 00:20:21,387
Yeah, we all gotta be careful.
362
00:20:21,554 --> 00:20:24,098
More careful than Freddo was.
363
00:20:24,265 --> 00:20:26,351
Enough people have
already gotten hurt.
364
00:20:26,517 --> 00:20:28,436
Which is why
we're investigating.
365
00:20:28,603 --> 00:20:30,480
Detectives.
366
00:20:30,647 --> 00:20:32,774
You sit behind a desk.
367
00:20:34,234 --> 00:20:36,945
You guys have no idea what
it's like on the streets these days.
368
00:20:37,111 --> 00:20:39,280
Come on, what's that
supposed to mean?
369
00:20:39,447 --> 00:20:40,615
Close ranks, Logan.
370
00:20:40,782 --> 00:20:43,034
Hey, I have, okay?
With my partner.
371
00:20:43,201 --> 00:20:44,661
Your partner? Get off me!
372
00:20:44,827 --> 00:20:45,954
Hey, break it up!
373
00:20:46,120 --> 00:20:48,456
He wants to be a crusader.
Tell him to join the ACLU.
374
00:20:48,623 --> 00:20:51,459
This… this punk…
375
00:20:51,626 --> 00:20:54,087
okay, he went to
some fancy school…
376
00:20:54,254 --> 00:20:55,797
I don't care if he was
head of the class…
377
00:20:55,964 --> 00:20:59,008
Those three skells
were doing a drug deal.
378
00:21:01,427 --> 00:21:02,887
Yeah, well,
379
00:21:03,054 --> 00:21:05,890
we're all on the same
side, right, Davis?
380
00:21:06,057 --> 00:21:07,809
You could've fooled me.
381
00:21:18,278 --> 00:21:21,155
This week… not easy, is it?
382
00:21:25,451 --> 00:21:28,037
Yeah, well, we're out
there all alone, Max.
383
00:21:30,665 --> 00:21:32,166
Let me tell you something.
384
00:21:33,167 --> 00:21:34,711
Everybody else is wrong,
385
00:21:34,877 --> 00:21:36,754
and I think you like that.
386
00:21:37,630 --> 00:21:40,091
I don't like being
told to roll over.
387
00:21:40,258 --> 00:21:42,010
Davis swears the kid
was doing a drug deal.
388
00:21:42,176 --> 00:21:43,761
He swears it.
389
00:21:43,928 --> 00:21:46,180
Okay, fine.
390
00:21:46,347 --> 00:21:48,349
Assume everybody's
telling the truth.
391
00:21:48,516 --> 00:21:50,935
A Magnum on the
street, what's it go for?
392
00:21:51,102 --> 00:21:52,145
500.
393
00:21:52,312 --> 00:21:53,855
Right. Half a pound of crack?
394
00:21:54,022 --> 00:21:55,356
2500.
395
00:21:55,523 --> 00:21:58,651
The Richardson kid had
$3,000 bucks in his socks…
396
00:21:58,818 --> 00:22:01,321
Supposed to buy a gun and drugs.
397
00:22:01,487 --> 00:22:04,157
Drug dealers don't take credit.
398
00:22:06,951 --> 00:22:09,454
All right, the deal
never went down.
399
00:22:10,580 --> 00:22:14,375
Which means the
kid never had the gun.
400
00:22:14,542 --> 00:22:16,377
Freddo shot him,
401
00:22:16,544 --> 00:22:19,380
put the Magnum in his hand,
and he gave Silky a walk.
402
00:22:19,547 --> 00:22:22,258
That's why nobody's talking.
403
00:22:22,425 --> 00:22:25,303
We still got to turn
up the third guy.
404
00:22:26,846 --> 00:22:28,556
If Silky's not your friend…
405
00:22:28,723 --> 00:22:31,559
I don't have any friends.
They die too quick.
406
00:22:31,726 --> 00:22:33,269
How about enemies?
407
00:22:34,312 --> 00:22:37,398
Enemies, too. Up
here, nobody gets to 40.
408
00:22:37,565 --> 00:22:40,068
Three people that night, Doris.
409
00:22:40,234 --> 00:22:41,569
You knew Tommy,
410
00:22:41,736 --> 00:22:43,321
you know Silky…
411
00:22:43,488 --> 00:22:46,074
I know whatever I tell you it
only means you lock 'em up.
412
00:22:46,240 --> 00:22:47,700
Hey, hey.
413
00:22:47,867 --> 00:22:51,245
We're trying to find out why
Tommy Richardson is dead.
414
00:22:51,412 --> 00:22:53,331
The way we hear
it, he was your friend.
415
00:22:53,498 --> 00:22:56,793
Seems to me you
owe him his propers.
416
00:22:56,959 --> 00:22:59,045
Who was the third guy?
417
00:23:01,589 --> 00:23:03,883
He's just a scared little boy.
418
00:23:04,050 --> 00:23:06,260
Abel.
419
00:23:06,427 --> 00:23:08,304
Tommy's little brother.
420
00:23:09,931 --> 00:23:12,100
Max: Tommy and Silky
were doing a drug deal.
421
00:23:12,266 --> 00:23:14,936
Logan: You think Tommy
would shoot a cop?
422
00:23:15,103 --> 00:23:16,604
Tommy never had a gun!
423
00:23:16,771 --> 00:23:18,815
If your brother was here now,
424
00:23:18,981 --> 00:23:21,567
what would he tell you to do?
425
00:23:25,863 --> 00:23:28,282
Tommy was going to buy the gun.
426
00:23:28,449 --> 00:23:29,909
For 500?
427
00:23:30,076 --> 00:23:31,911
Yes.
428
00:23:32,078 --> 00:23:33,788
And the dope?
429
00:23:33,955 --> 00:23:35,998
Crack. A half a pound.
430
00:23:36,165 --> 00:23:37,750
For 2500.
431
00:23:37,917 --> 00:23:41,170
20 extra. We were
going to go to the movies.
432
00:23:42,547 --> 00:23:44,715
But the cops came, we ran…
433
00:23:44,882 --> 00:23:47,468
Silky still had the gun.
434
00:23:54,142 --> 00:23:55,852
Okay.
435
00:23:57,061 --> 00:23:58,604
Okay what?
436
00:24:00,481 --> 00:24:03,860
Sometimes when I don't want to
see something, I put blinders on.
437
00:24:04,026 --> 00:24:06,112
What's that, a confession?
438
00:24:08,281 --> 00:24:10,116
It's an apology.
439
00:24:14,829 --> 00:24:16,664
Richardson had the money.
440
00:24:16,831 --> 00:24:18,583
Silky had the gun.
441
00:24:18,749 --> 00:24:21,335
What happened to the dope?
442
00:24:21,502 --> 00:24:23,212
There was no dope.
443
00:24:23,379 --> 00:24:24,797
Never had it.
444
00:24:24,964 --> 00:24:28,009
Oh yeah, Richardson
met you to buy groceries.
445
00:24:28,176 --> 00:24:31,304
My lawyer, he'll have
me out of here in an hour.
446
00:24:31,471 --> 00:24:34,015
You could still go up
on that gun charge, Silky.
447
00:24:34,182 --> 00:24:37,310
I ain't never been
convicted of no felony.
448
00:24:37,477 --> 00:24:39,937
Even if you prove I sold
him the gun, I still walk.
449
00:24:41,731 --> 00:24:43,357
Jailhouse lawyer here.
450
00:24:43,524 --> 00:24:46,819
A witness puts you
at the scene that night.
451
00:24:46,986 --> 00:24:48,821
Abel.
452
00:24:52,492 --> 00:24:53,993
All right.
453
00:24:54,160 --> 00:24:56,662
I was there. That's
what you want to hear?
454
00:24:56,829 --> 00:24:59,415
Tommy had the gun. He drew
on the cop, the cop shot him.
455
00:24:59,582 --> 00:25:00,708
That's what happened.
456
00:25:00,875 --> 00:25:03,628
You're playing
this all wrong, Silky.
457
00:25:04,754 --> 00:25:06,756
I'm still breathing, ain't I?
458
00:25:07,757 --> 00:25:10,218
What'd this guy
do, shoot the Pope?
459
00:25:11,260 --> 00:25:12,595
What are you talking about?
460
00:25:12,762 --> 00:25:14,305
Pretty popular.
461
00:25:14,472 --> 00:25:16,057
Had another cop in this morning.
462
00:25:16,224 --> 00:25:17,433
Who?
463
00:25:18,601 --> 00:25:20,269
Parisi.
464
00:25:20,436 --> 00:25:22,688
Freddo Parisi.
465
00:25:22,855 --> 00:25:25,858
Max: The kid says, "I'm breathing,
" it means "Freddo threatened us."
466
00:25:26,025 --> 00:25:28,986
I admit it doesn't sound good.
Silky's lying, Freddo's lying,
467
00:25:29,153 --> 00:25:31,656
and Davis is covering for him.
468
00:25:31,822 --> 00:25:34,575
Freddo's arrested,
maybe somebody breaks.
469
00:25:34,742 --> 00:25:37,161
DA says the same
thing, but it's a cop,
470
00:25:37,328 --> 00:25:39,455
so it's got to be an
Internal Affairs collar.
471
00:25:39,622 --> 00:25:43,417
IAD cuts the guy some slack,
and his own precinct burns him.
472
00:25:43,584 --> 00:25:45,294
What a world.
473
00:26:07,942 --> 00:26:10,736
You're under arrest for the
murder of Thomas Richardson.
474
00:26:12,613 --> 00:26:14,365
You have the right
to remain silent.
475
00:26:14,532 --> 00:26:16,075
Anything you say
can and will be used…
476
00:26:16,242 --> 00:26:17,702
Save it, wiseguy.
477
00:26:17,868 --> 00:26:19,704
I know it by heart.
478
00:26:24,417 --> 00:26:26,002
You're dreaming, Counselor.
479
00:26:26,168 --> 00:26:28,671
And the Richardson boy?
No record and no gun.
480
00:26:28,838 --> 00:26:30,339
Yeah, says his
13-year-old brother.
481
00:26:30,506 --> 00:26:31,841
With no reason to lie.
482
00:26:32,008 --> 00:26:34,427
The kid's a lousy witness.
He wasn't even there.
483
00:26:34,594 --> 00:26:36,304
When I get finished with him,
484
00:26:36,470 --> 00:26:38,556
a jury won't take his word
on what he ate for breakfast.
485
00:26:38,723 --> 00:26:40,641
And patrolman Parisi?
486
00:26:40,808 --> 00:26:43,477
A veteran cop. His
word, Davis' word,
487
00:26:43,644 --> 00:26:45,479
Silky's word, all
against the kid,
488
00:26:45,646 --> 00:26:48,190
who wants to protect
his brother's reputation.
489
00:26:48,357 --> 00:26:50,067
Who's a jury going to believe?
490
00:26:50,234 --> 00:26:52,528
By the time we go
to trial, Patrolman,
491
00:26:52,695 --> 00:26:54,572
Silky'll be telling the truth.
492
00:26:55,781 --> 00:26:56,991
It turns out Abel's not clean,
493
00:26:57,158 --> 00:26:59,201
they scuff him up on
the stand, Freddo walks.
494
00:26:59,368 --> 00:27:01,203
Abel has no record.
Neither did his brother.
495
00:27:01,370 --> 00:27:03,539
I don't want a last minute
sandbag. Make sure, Paul.
496
00:27:07,001 --> 00:27:09,128
Thayer: Abel's
been in no trouble!
497
00:27:10,630 --> 00:27:14,133
You going to see your brother,
Tommy Richardson, gets justice?
498
00:27:14,300 --> 00:27:15,801
I'm an officer of the court.
499
00:27:15,968 --> 00:27:17,845
I'll investigate every
aspect of the case.
500
00:27:18,012 --> 00:27:20,473
Color has…
Nothing to do with it.
501
00:27:25,394 --> 00:27:28,147
Maybe I'm mistaken who you are.
502
00:27:29,315 --> 00:27:31,442
You grow up on Park Avenue,
503
00:27:31,609 --> 00:27:33,402
south of 96th Street?
504
00:27:33,569 --> 00:27:35,321
That isn't relevant to this.
505
00:27:35,488 --> 00:27:36,906
No?
506
00:27:37,073 --> 00:27:39,867
- No father?
- That's right.
507
00:27:41,077 --> 00:27:42,787
Took off?
508
00:27:42,953 --> 00:27:44,705
Even you, Mr. Robinette?
509
00:27:44,872 --> 00:27:48,751
All black fathers
leave their children?
510
00:27:50,378 --> 00:27:52,922
Tommy Richardson's father
was a subway motorman.
511
00:27:53,089 --> 00:27:55,174
Usually worked two shifts.
512
00:27:55,341 --> 00:27:58,886
Somebody shot him for
$20 bucks he'd won at OTB.
513
00:28:00,096 --> 00:28:03,307
Now Tommy Richardson
was a hero in this community.
514
00:28:03,474 --> 00:28:06,560
He came from a good family.
515
00:28:06,727 --> 00:28:08,312
He went to a good college.
516
00:28:08,479 --> 00:28:11,232
He brought home
money for the church,
517
00:28:11,399 --> 00:28:14,318
for the Children's
Enrichment Program,
518
00:28:14,485 --> 00:28:15,903
for the boys' choir…
519
00:28:16,070 --> 00:28:18,489
How much money? From where?
520
00:28:18,656 --> 00:28:21,409
Family named Harriman.
521
00:28:21,575 --> 00:28:24,036
Tommy's college roommate.
522
00:28:24,203 --> 00:28:27,415
They gave $48,000 in secret.
523
00:28:29,583 --> 00:28:31,460
How much?
524
00:28:32,628 --> 00:28:35,131
$48,000.
525
00:28:35,297 --> 00:28:36,632
My God.
526
00:28:36,799 --> 00:28:38,843
Your family didn't
give the money?
527
00:28:40,094 --> 00:28:41,554
Where'd he get it?
528
00:28:43,139 --> 00:28:45,933
Till the end of the semester,
529
00:28:46,100 --> 00:28:48,144
I really like Tommy.
530
00:28:48,310 --> 00:28:50,312
He was smart, funny.
531
00:28:50,479 --> 00:28:53,399
Exam period, I'd
come back at night
532
00:28:53,566 --> 00:28:56,610
and the people he
was hanging out with…
533
00:28:56,777 --> 00:28:58,863
Street people. Yeah…
534
00:28:59,029 --> 00:29:00,656
Wall Street.
535
00:29:00,823 --> 00:29:03,993
J. Press suits,
Fischer skis, Beamers.
536
00:29:04,160 --> 00:29:05,619
Trust fund babies.
537
00:29:05,786 --> 00:29:09,123
Tommy… it was
like he was in China.
538
00:29:09,290 --> 00:29:10,916
Didn't know the language,
539
00:29:11,083 --> 00:29:12,960
couldn't make friends.
540
00:29:13,127 --> 00:29:14,628
These guys wanted
to score some coke,
541
00:29:14,795 --> 00:29:18,883
and Tommy's black…
Like he ought to know.
542
00:29:19,049 --> 00:29:20,718
Friendship wasn't the point.
543
00:29:20,885 --> 00:29:22,178
Customers.
544
00:29:22,344 --> 00:29:23,804
You know any of them?
545
00:29:23,971 --> 00:29:25,681
Wesley Parker.
546
00:29:25,848 --> 00:29:27,349
Have a seat.
547
00:29:27,516 --> 00:29:29,977
Robinette: I want to talk to
you about Tommy Richardson.
548
00:29:30,144 --> 00:29:32,104
What about him?
549
00:29:34,148 --> 00:29:36,066
He sold you drugs.
550
00:29:36,233 --> 00:29:37,777
No way, man.
551
00:29:37,943 --> 00:29:40,821
I don't know who you've been
talking to, but there's no way…
552
00:29:40,988 --> 00:29:43,240
I take a walk around here,
you think I'll find some dope?
553
00:29:43,407 --> 00:29:45,159
Whatever you want to know.
554
00:29:46,452 --> 00:29:48,078
Why'd you hang with Tommy?
555
00:29:48,245 --> 00:29:50,873
I don't want to get
myself arrested here.
556
00:29:54,502 --> 00:29:57,129
Let's say Tommy
never got me any drugs.
557
00:29:57,296 --> 00:29:58,964
But your friends…
558
00:30:00,174 --> 00:30:02,051
Tommy was tough, he
knew how the world worked.
559
00:30:02,218 --> 00:30:05,179
You know what I mean?
560
00:30:05,346 --> 00:30:07,473
He was going to be real major…
561
00:30:07,640 --> 00:30:09,099
Yeah, Wesley,
562
00:30:09,266 --> 00:30:10,893
a major homicide.
563
00:30:11,060 --> 00:30:13,938
Crowd: We want
justice! We want justice!
564
00:30:16,190 --> 00:30:18,442
Robinette: To them, he's a hero.
565
00:30:18,609 --> 00:30:20,528
We're going to
destroy that dream.
566
00:30:20,694 --> 00:30:23,405
The truth will set you free.
It won't always make you happy.
567
00:30:23,572 --> 00:30:25,115
But he wasn't all bad.
568
00:30:25,282 --> 00:30:27,493
A trial, Ben… his name's dirt.
569
00:30:27,660 --> 00:30:29,620
In Harlem,
570
00:30:29,787 --> 00:30:31,080
a kid goes away
to a good school,
571
00:30:31,247 --> 00:30:33,582
brings back money
to the community…
572
00:30:33,749 --> 00:30:35,042
A candidate for sainthood?
573
00:30:35,209 --> 00:30:36,669
The good part of him, yeah.
574
00:30:36,836 --> 00:30:39,088
Maybe he needed the bad
part to make the good part work.
575
00:30:39,255 --> 00:30:42,633
Maybe being the tough black
kid at college, the street kid,
576
00:30:42,800 --> 00:30:45,678
helped him to come home
and give away money.
577
00:30:45,845 --> 00:30:47,930
Robin Hood? You think
that'll play with the jury?
578
00:30:48,097 --> 00:30:49,265
They find out
he's a drug dealer,
579
00:30:49,431 --> 00:30:51,350
they'll never believe
he didn't have a gun.
580
00:30:51,517 --> 00:30:54,311
Then make a deal. Freddo
does a couple of years,
581
00:30:54,478 --> 00:30:56,105
Tommy's name stays clean.
582
00:30:56,272 --> 00:30:58,607
Can't do it, Paul. You
can't let killers walk.
583
00:31:00,484 --> 00:31:02,194
Stone.
584
00:31:02,361 --> 00:31:04,029
Yes, send them in.
585
00:31:04,196 --> 00:31:05,823
The Richardsons.
586
00:31:07,491 --> 00:31:09,910
Mrs. Richardson,
thanks for coming down.
587
00:31:10,077 --> 00:31:11,704
Is this Abel? Yes, it is.
588
00:31:11,871 --> 00:31:13,831
How do you do?
Come in, sit right down.
589
00:31:20,337 --> 00:31:21,964
Mrs. Richardson,
590
00:31:22,131 --> 00:31:23,716
when this case goes to trial,
591
00:31:23,883 --> 00:31:27,136
there may be unpleasant
things said about your son.
592
00:31:27,303 --> 00:31:30,347
I read in the papers
593
00:31:30,514 --> 00:31:33,017
that the policeman
could go free.
594
00:31:35,227 --> 00:31:37,479
Mrs. Richardson…
595
00:31:37,646 --> 00:31:39,857
My husband was killed.
596
00:31:41,191 --> 00:31:43,611
Tommy was 10 years old.
597
00:31:43,777 --> 00:31:46,155
That boy…
598
00:31:47,865 --> 00:31:51,201
he started coming home from
school late, two, three hours.
599
00:31:51,368 --> 00:31:54,496
I thought he was
hanging out on the streets.
600
00:31:54,663 --> 00:31:56,415
After school job made him late.
601
00:31:56,582 --> 00:31:59,376
Delivering groceries…
602
00:32:00,502 --> 00:32:02,129
to help me out.
603
00:32:03,380 --> 00:32:06,300
Tommy spent his whole life
604
00:32:06,467 --> 00:32:08,677
just taking care
of other people.
605
00:32:10,012 --> 00:32:12,014
He had some problems.
606
00:32:14,683 --> 00:32:16,727
My boy got out of Harlem.
607
00:32:16,894 --> 00:32:20,356
That's what white
people wanted him to do,
608
00:32:20,522 --> 00:32:22,524
and it's what
I wanted him to do.
609
00:32:24,026 --> 00:32:27,488
Mr. Stone, could I talk to
you outside for a second?
610
00:32:28,864 --> 00:32:30,366
You're going to kill my mom.
611
00:32:30,532 --> 00:32:32,034
This drug deal on
the street, Abel…
612
00:32:32,201 --> 00:32:33,911
This wasn't a one
shot thing, was it?
613
00:32:34,078 --> 00:32:36,455
- You can't do this to my mom.
- It's not us doing it.
614
00:32:36,622 --> 00:32:38,374
Reverend Thayer, your mother…
615
00:32:38,540 --> 00:32:40,042
Everybody wants justice.
616
00:32:40,209 --> 00:32:42,378
But I have to know
what really happened.
617
00:32:42,544 --> 00:32:44,046
Tommy was moving a ton of dope.
618
00:32:44,213 --> 00:32:45,714
At Princeton?
619
00:32:45,881 --> 00:32:47,341
Every two weeks.
620
00:32:47,508 --> 00:32:48,759
He buy it here?
621
00:32:50,219 --> 00:32:52,262
Had… had this mule,
622
00:32:52,429 --> 00:32:54,807
moved it down the drain.
623
00:32:54,974 --> 00:32:56,892
This mule have a name?
624
00:32:57,059 --> 00:32:58,727
A girl.
625
00:32:58,894 --> 00:33:01,063
Girl named Doris.
626
00:33:01,230 --> 00:33:03,232
Doris: I don't know
nothing, okay?
627
00:33:03,399 --> 00:33:05,859
He's dead and I'm still
here, that's all I know.
628
00:33:06,026 --> 00:33:08,737
When you were on the
stroll… That's old news.
629
00:33:08,904 --> 00:33:11,198
Not old enough for
the statute of limitations.
630
00:33:11,365 --> 00:33:13,033
You jumped bail, three times.
631
00:33:13,200 --> 00:33:15,077
I forgot to show up at
court. You want a reminder?
632
00:33:15,244 --> 00:33:17,121
Okay, you want it
straight up, Oreo?
633
00:33:17,287 --> 00:33:19,039
Tommy asked me
to score some coke.
634
00:33:19,206 --> 00:33:20,749
Gave me money, train ticket,
635
00:33:20,916 --> 00:33:22,918
said to bring it to him
someplace in Jersey.
636
00:33:23,085 --> 00:33:25,671
Smart move, Doris. He paid me
so much I stopped turning tricks.
637
00:33:25,838 --> 00:33:27,339
'Cause of him I
got out of the life.
638
00:33:27,506 --> 00:33:28,924
Great, hooking to drug dealing?
639
00:33:29,091 --> 00:33:32,511
Which would you rather
sell, drugs or your body?
640
00:33:36,515 --> 00:33:38,767
We want justice!
We want justice…
641
00:33:46,108 --> 00:33:49,820
New York's finest!
New York's finest…
642
00:33:58,787 --> 00:34:01,331
Yeah, real stupid, Stone.
643
00:34:01,498 --> 00:34:03,625
Grand jury's decision, not mine.
644
00:34:03,792 --> 00:34:05,169
I'm not going to have
to smear that kid.
645
00:34:05,335 --> 00:34:07,004
He already smeared himself.
646
00:34:07,171 --> 00:34:10,674
Tommy Richardson's dead. He's
not on trial for drugs or anything else.
647
00:34:10,841 --> 00:34:12,301
Freddo had every
reason to believe
648
00:34:12,468 --> 00:34:13,677
that the kid was
going to shoot him.
649
00:34:13,844 --> 00:34:16,472
You, in Freddo's shoes,
what would you have done?
650
00:34:16,638 --> 00:34:19,224
I wouldn't have put a
gun in a dead kid's hand.
651
00:34:19,391 --> 00:34:22,269
I hope you're prepared to
go to trial and prove that.
652
00:34:22,436 --> 00:34:24,229
And soon.
653
00:34:24,396 --> 00:34:26,815
I'll see you there. Yeah.
654
00:34:28,692 --> 00:34:31,195
I don't care. I want you to
try for a deal with Freddo.
655
00:34:31,361 --> 00:34:33,030
Am I mistaken, or did
you just take a stand
656
00:34:33,197 --> 00:34:35,324
about a community
having to have its laws?
657
00:34:35,491 --> 00:34:37,659
That is a public position.
I'm telling you right now
658
00:34:37,826 --> 00:34:39,495
that you do not have
enough to convict Parisi.
659
00:34:39,661 --> 00:34:41,205
Then don't shut me down.
660
00:34:41,371 --> 00:34:43,832
The partner won't roll. You've
got nothing to offer Silky.
661
00:34:43,999 --> 00:34:46,251
And if Freddo's not interested?
662
00:34:46,418 --> 00:34:47,920
Make it sweet, down
for four, out in two.
663
00:34:48,087 --> 00:34:49,880
Convince him. Adam, really…
664
00:34:50,047 --> 00:34:51,882
99% of the time, I
let you run with it.
665
00:34:52,049 --> 00:34:54,051
I got to do what's
best for the office.
666
00:34:56,470 --> 00:34:57,721
Gentlemen.
667
00:34:57,888 --> 00:34:59,515
Come in.
668
00:35:05,687 --> 00:35:09,024
My lawyer, Mr. Ellery, says
I could use the company.
669
00:35:09,191 --> 00:35:11,110
I'm sure you
remember each other.
670
00:35:11,276 --> 00:35:12,861
Hello.
671
00:35:14,071 --> 00:35:16,532
My ex-wife cleaned up.
672
00:35:18,117 --> 00:35:19,576
Would you like a drink?
673
00:35:19,743 --> 00:35:21,286
No thanks.
674
00:35:22,830 --> 00:35:26,208
No wife, no friends, no nobody.
675
00:35:26,375 --> 00:35:28,460
Robinette: From what I've
seen, you have plenty of friends.
676
00:35:28,627 --> 00:35:29,878
Protecting their own, pal.
677
00:35:30,045 --> 00:35:32,798
Most of them, they
don't even know me.
678
00:35:32,965 --> 00:35:34,842
A lot of people downtown
would really prefer it
679
00:35:35,008 --> 00:35:36,176
if you didn't go to trial.
680
00:35:36,343 --> 00:35:38,554
If you plead to manslaughter
you can be out in one year.
681
00:35:38,720 --> 00:35:40,347
Two at the most.
682
00:35:42,224 --> 00:35:43,934
You guys…
683
00:35:44,101 --> 00:35:47,521
with your jobs and your suits,
684
00:35:47,688 --> 00:35:49,690
and your press
conferences… Freddo…
685
00:35:49,857 --> 00:35:52,860
You want to take from
me the one thing I got left.
686
00:35:54,319 --> 00:35:57,906
My trial is going to prove that
Ivy League moulanyan was a punk!
687
00:36:03,787 --> 00:36:06,832
I want my day in court.
688
00:36:12,963 --> 00:36:14,506
Before you ran from the police,
689
00:36:14,673 --> 00:36:17,634
did your brother or
Silky Ford have a gun?
690
00:36:17,801 --> 00:36:19,469
Silky had a gun
691
00:36:19,636 --> 00:36:21,180
stuck into his jeans.
692
00:36:21,346 --> 00:36:22,639
Did you see the gun?
693
00:36:22,806 --> 00:36:24,057
I could see the handle.
694
00:36:24,224 --> 00:36:26,476
It was a Magnum,
695
00:36:26,643 --> 00:36:28,145
like Dirty Harry, you know?
696
00:36:28,312 --> 00:36:29,688
"Make my day."
697
00:36:29,855 --> 00:36:31,648
On the street that
night you had a fight,
698
00:36:31,815 --> 00:36:33,525
what was that about?
699
00:36:34,610 --> 00:36:37,946
Silky short-weighted Tommy.
700
00:36:38,447 --> 00:36:40,741
I said something, he pushed me.
701
00:36:40,908 --> 00:36:42,951
Tommy pushed him…
702
00:36:43,952 --> 00:36:45,329
I'm going to ask
you one more time.
703
00:36:45,495 --> 00:36:46,955
Did you ever, at any time,
704
00:36:47,122 --> 00:36:49,249
see your brother
carry or fire a gun?
705
00:36:49,416 --> 00:36:51,627
No. Never.
706
00:36:51,793 --> 00:36:53,670
No further questions.
707
00:36:55,088 --> 00:36:56,673
Oh, boy.
708
00:36:56,840 --> 00:36:59,051
Let's start from
the beginning, Abel.
709
00:37:00,177 --> 00:37:01,845
Isn't it true your brother
was planning to buy
710
00:37:02,012 --> 00:37:04,348
a gun from Silky
Ford that night?
711
00:37:04,514 --> 00:37:06,141
Yeah, but he…
712
00:37:06,308 --> 00:37:08,518
He was planning on
buying a .357 Magnum.
713
00:37:08,685 --> 00:37:10,979
Yeah, but he never… Just
answer yes or no, please.
714
00:37:11,146 --> 00:37:14,942
Your brother was a student at
Princeton University, is that right?
715
00:37:15,108 --> 00:37:17,027
Objection, Your Honor,
this has all been covered.
716
00:37:17,194 --> 00:37:20,113
I'm trying to establish something
important here, Your Honor.
717
00:37:21,365 --> 00:37:23,617
We'll let Mr. Ellery
travel this road again.
718
00:37:23,784 --> 00:37:25,202
Overruled.
719
00:37:25,369 --> 00:37:27,204
Ellery: He was a
student at Princeton.
720
00:37:27,371 --> 00:37:28,372
Abel: Yes.
721
00:37:28,538 --> 00:37:29,957
Ellery: Were you proud of him?
722
00:37:30,123 --> 00:37:34,044
Everybody was.
723
00:37:34,211 --> 00:37:36,421
And you told people all the
time how proud you were of him?
724
00:37:36,588 --> 00:37:38,048
Of course I did.
725
00:37:38,215 --> 00:37:40,592
Then please tell the jury,
if you were so proud of him,
726
00:37:40,759 --> 00:37:42,886
whether you would honestly admit
727
00:37:43,053 --> 00:37:45,389
that he was capable of
shooting a policeman?
728
00:37:45,555 --> 00:37:47,140
Objection! Hypothetical.
729
00:37:47,307 --> 00:37:50,102
Sustained. No more
of that, Mr. Ellery.
730
00:37:50,435 --> 00:37:54,189
Abel, were you in the alley
731
00:37:54,356 --> 00:37:56,400
the night your brother was shot?
732
00:37:56,566 --> 00:37:57,943
You know I wasn't.
733
00:37:58,110 --> 00:38:00,570
So you don't know what
went on then, do you?
734
00:38:05,158 --> 00:38:06,576
It had to happen, Ben.
735
00:38:06,743 --> 00:38:08,870
Did you watch the jury? They
didn't believe a word he said.
736
00:38:09,037 --> 00:38:10,414
Freddo's going to walk.
737
00:38:10,580 --> 00:38:13,292
We could get Davis
to roll if Silky does.
738
00:38:13,458 --> 00:38:16,378
But Silky won't roll unless
he's set up for a felony.
739
00:38:23,302 --> 00:38:24,636
Set him up.
740
00:38:24,803 --> 00:38:26,305
Is that ethical?
741
00:38:26,471 --> 00:38:28,181
It's legal.
742
00:38:28,348 --> 00:38:30,350
In the criminal justice
system, that makes it ethical.
743
00:38:30,517 --> 00:38:32,394
Silky was committing
a felony that night.
744
00:38:32,561 --> 00:38:34,187
Half a pound of crack…
He's a drug dealer.
745
00:38:34,354 --> 00:38:36,732
What do you think
happened in that alley?
746
00:38:38,692 --> 00:38:42,070
Best bet, Freddo
got trigger happy,
747
00:38:42,237 --> 00:38:45,615
shot the kid, told Silky
to take the crack and run.
748
00:38:46,616 --> 00:38:48,368
Call Greevey and Logan.
749
00:38:48,535 --> 00:38:50,579
Set Silky up for sale-weight.
750
00:38:53,957 --> 00:38:55,625
Doris: Hello, Silky.
751
00:38:55,792 --> 00:38:57,878
You looking fine, baby.
752
00:38:58,045 --> 00:39:00,255
I thought with Tommy gone,
you'd be out of business though.
753
00:39:00,422 --> 00:39:02,132
Yeah, well, I got
other customers.
754
00:39:02,299 --> 00:39:06,219
The wire works. Thank
God for small miracles.
755
00:39:06,386 --> 00:39:07,554
Doris: You got my rocks?
756
00:39:07,721 --> 00:39:09,598
Silky: You know it.
A pound of the best.
757
00:39:09,765 --> 00:39:11,308
Five grand, baby.
758
00:39:14,895 --> 00:39:16,021
Countdown.
759
00:39:16,188 --> 00:39:18,065
Max: Three,
760
00:39:18,231 --> 00:39:20,525
two… Yeah, baby.
761
00:39:20,692 --> 00:39:22,402
Later. One.
762
00:39:22,569 --> 00:39:23,904
Go!
763
00:39:24,071 --> 00:39:25,322
Go, go, go! Come on!
764
00:39:25,489 --> 00:39:27,449
Cop: Freeze, police!
765
00:39:27,616 --> 00:39:29,201
I ain't moving,
man. I ain't moving.
766
00:39:29,368 --> 00:39:30,660
Don't move. Don't move.
767
00:39:31,370 --> 00:39:33,789
So what, are you going to
protect me for the next 30 years?
768
00:39:33,955 --> 00:39:36,291
Stone: You're a
predicate felon, Silky.
769
00:39:36,458 --> 00:39:39,544
You can get put away
for 15 years to life.
770
00:39:44,925 --> 00:39:46,760
Okay, sportsfans,
771
00:39:46,927 --> 00:39:48,929
let's go to the videotape.
772
00:39:49,096 --> 00:39:52,432
Did you see Freddo Parisi
773
00:39:52,599 --> 00:39:53,850
shoot Tommy Richardson?
774
00:39:54,017 --> 00:39:56,520
Freddo says, "Don't move."
775
00:39:56,686 --> 00:39:58,772
Tommy turns to say something,
776
00:39:58,939 --> 00:40:00,774
and the cop shoots him.
777
00:40:01,817 --> 00:40:04,194
Tommy didn't have no gun.
778
00:40:04,361 --> 00:40:05,487
Freddo takes my gun,
779
00:40:05,654 --> 00:40:08,031
he wipes it on
his shirt… Twice…
780
00:40:08,198 --> 00:40:10,534
And puts it in Tommy's hand.
781
00:40:10,700 --> 00:40:13,370
Freddo tells me to
take the dope and leave.
782
00:40:13,537 --> 00:40:16,081
Says it's my lucky day.
783
00:40:16,248 --> 00:40:17,666
Did he say anything else?
784
00:40:17,833 --> 00:40:19,793
Oh yeah.
785
00:40:19,960 --> 00:40:22,337
He says if I tell
anybody, he'll kill me.
786
00:40:23,338 --> 00:40:25,257
At my cell at the Tombs,
787
00:40:25,424 --> 00:40:26,508
he tells me again.
788
00:40:26,675 --> 00:40:29,136
Keep your mouth
shut, or you're dead.
789
00:40:30,262 --> 00:40:33,181
Even if I burn him,
his partner'll get me.
790
00:40:35,100 --> 00:40:37,727
Well, you have five kids,
791
00:40:37,894 --> 00:40:39,980
terrific wife, nice house.
792
00:40:40,147 --> 00:40:41,982
Massapequa, isn't it?
793
00:40:42,149 --> 00:40:43,733
Yeah.
794
00:40:43,900 --> 00:40:45,360
You've earned
five or six citations,
795
00:40:45,527 --> 00:40:46,570
you have a great record.
796
00:40:46,736 --> 00:40:49,990
Don't let misguided
loyalty ruin your life.
797
00:40:50,157 --> 00:40:52,659
You stay with Freddo,
he'll take you down.
798
00:40:54,161 --> 00:40:55,871
He's my partner.
799
00:40:56,037 --> 00:40:57,998
Stone: Something
you don't know…
800
00:40:58,165 --> 00:41:00,500
When they brought the
Richardson boy to the morgue,
801
00:41:00,667 --> 00:41:03,295
he had $3,000 on him.
802
00:41:05,172 --> 00:41:07,507
The transaction
never took place.
803
00:41:07,674 --> 00:41:10,510
He never bought Silky's gun.
804
00:41:13,513 --> 00:41:15,807
You weren't even there.
805
00:41:22,564 --> 00:41:25,358
After the incident was
called into Internal Affairs,
806
00:41:25,525 --> 00:41:27,819
what did Patrolman
Parisi tell you?
807
00:41:30,322 --> 00:41:32,407
He said if there
was ever a line-up,
808
00:41:32,574 --> 00:41:35,327
he didn't want me to identify
the guy with the birthmark.
809
00:41:35,494 --> 00:41:37,204
Stone: Did he tell you why?
810
00:41:37,370 --> 00:41:39,623
Davis: He said I
didn't have to worry.
811
00:41:39,789 --> 00:41:42,292
If they picked him up,
812
00:41:42,459 --> 00:41:44,211
he would say he wasn't there.
813
00:41:44,377 --> 00:41:47,631
Did Patrolman Parisi tell
you why he was so certain
814
00:41:47,797 --> 00:41:48,965
you didn't have to worry?
815
00:41:52,886 --> 00:41:54,554
He said…
816
00:41:56,515 --> 00:41:57,933
he let him take the crack,
817
00:41:58,099 --> 00:42:00,769
the stuff he was going to sell.
818
00:42:04,940 --> 00:42:07,526
Were you at all concerned
that Patrolman Parisi
819
00:42:07,692 --> 00:42:09,402
might be wrong?
820
00:42:10,111 --> 00:42:11,738
That the suspect in question
821
00:42:11,905 --> 00:42:13,865
might admit to being
there that night?
822
00:42:14,991 --> 00:42:16,284
No.
823
00:42:16,451 --> 00:42:18,703
Freddo…
824
00:42:18,870 --> 00:42:20,872
Patrolman Parisi…
825
00:42:22,249 --> 00:42:23,917
said it was a sure thing.
826
00:42:25,293 --> 00:42:27,128
The guy didn't dare
open his mouth.
827
00:42:27,295 --> 00:42:28,672
Stone: No more questions.
828
00:42:28,838 --> 00:42:30,757
No questions of this witness.
829
00:42:30,924 --> 00:42:32,634
Bailiff: You may step down.
830
00:42:33,677 --> 00:42:36,179
Prosecution calls
Dorian "Silky" Ford.
831
00:42:45,647 --> 00:42:48,275
Judge: Mr. Stone, is this
going to take some time?
832
00:42:48,441 --> 00:42:50,193
Yes, Your Honor.
833
00:42:51,987 --> 00:42:54,489
Judge: In view of
how late in the day it is,
834
00:42:54,656 --> 00:42:56,783
let's continue tomorrow.
Any objections?
835
00:42:56,950 --> 00:42:59,202
Court is adjourned.
836
00:43:08,795 --> 00:43:11,965
Well, I can't say I'm not
glad the way it turned out.
837
00:43:12,132 --> 00:43:13,967
I don't understand cops.
838
00:43:14,134 --> 00:43:16,344
There is such a thing
as an honorable mistake.
839
00:43:16,511 --> 00:43:18,138
Okay, he shot the kid.
840
00:43:18,305 --> 00:43:19,973
Did he have to
plant a gun on him?
841
00:43:20,140 --> 00:43:23,310
If he'd just admitted it, and
said, "I was scared, I panicked,
842
00:43:23,476 --> 00:43:24,978
I was wrong,"
843
00:43:25,145 --> 00:43:27,647
no jury in the world would
convict him of murder.
844
00:43:27,814 --> 00:43:29,357
Robinette: If nothing else,
845
00:43:29,524 --> 00:43:31,985
Freddo will never have
a gun in his hand again,
846
00:43:32,152 --> 00:43:34,446
and that's better for everybody.
847
00:43:41,411 --> 00:43:42,996
Schiff.
848
00:43:46,207 --> 00:43:48,126
Thanks for calling.
849
00:43:52,505 --> 00:43:55,133
Well, won't have to
worry about a verdict.
850
00:43:56,509 --> 00:43:58,470
Freddo just ate his gun.
851
00:44:03,433 --> 00:44:05,935
Thayer: Now is the time
852
00:44:07,354 --> 00:44:10,273
to remember the real
Tommy Richardson…
853
00:44:11,274 --> 00:44:14,611
and what he meant
to this community.
854
00:44:16,112 --> 00:44:18,365
He was a symbol
855
00:44:19,783 --> 00:44:23,536
of what every child
born into poverty
856
00:44:23,703 --> 00:44:25,872
could achieve.
857
00:44:26,956 --> 00:44:30,710
He gave back to his people…
858
00:44:31,628 --> 00:44:34,381
His time,
859
00:44:34,547 --> 00:44:35,924
his energy…
860
00:44:37,342 --> 00:44:39,177
his love.
861
00:44:41,012 --> 00:44:43,723
And he tried to help
862
00:44:43,890 --> 00:44:45,350
even more.
863
00:44:45,517 --> 00:44:48,144
He tried to help others
864
00:44:48,311 --> 00:44:50,647
by giving money.
865
00:44:51,648 --> 00:44:54,150
But to get that money
866
00:44:55,777 --> 00:44:58,196
he sold drugs.
867
00:44:58,363 --> 00:45:00,573
And he was shot to death,
868
00:45:00,740 --> 00:45:02,450
in the gutter,
869
00:45:02,617 --> 00:45:04,494
because of it.
870
00:45:05,829 --> 00:45:08,707
What Tommy
Richardson wanted to do
871
00:45:08,873 --> 00:45:11,167
for his people was right…
872
00:45:12,752 --> 00:45:15,797
but he did it the wrong way.
873
00:45:17,173 --> 00:45:20,427
And the policeman
who shot him…
874
00:45:20,593 --> 00:45:23,388
That was wrong, too.
875
00:45:24,931 --> 00:45:26,725
But it would not
have happened…
876
00:45:28,768 --> 00:45:31,521
without drugs!
877
00:45:38,653 --> 00:45:40,613
Wandering the halls?
878
00:45:42,866 --> 00:45:46,911
I wanted to say thank you.
879
00:45:48,204 --> 00:45:50,039
I know this was a tough one.
880
00:45:52,375 --> 00:45:54,461
It's the last one. No more cops.
881
00:45:54,627 --> 00:45:56,087
It's too hard.
882
00:45:58,256 --> 00:46:00,425
Know why I wouldn't let go?
883
