Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:01,001 --> 00:00:03,060
In the criminal justice system,
2
00:00:03,136 --> 00:00:07,095
the people are represented by two separate
yet equally important groups...
3
00:00:07,173 --> 00:00:09,038
the police, who investigate crime,
4
00:00:09,109 --> 00:00:11,475
and the district attorneys,
who prosecute the offenders.
5
00:00:11,544 --> 00:00:13,444
These are their stories.
6
00:00:16,149 --> 00:00:18,879
English, okay?
I saw them kiss after the game.
7
00:00:18,952 --> 00:00:20,886
On television?
No, the queen of England,
8
00:00:20,954 --> 00:00:23,388
she called and asked me to go
with her to the World Series.
9
00:00:23,456 --> 00:00:26,448
I just asked a question.
It was dumb.
10
00:00:26,526 --> 00:00:30,223
Almost as dumb as Pudge kissing that
pitcher... what's-his-name... on national TV.
11
00:00:30,296 --> 00:00:32,821
Pudge is not a fruitcake. I
know that, and you know that.
12
00:00:32,899 --> 00:00:35,663
But the gringos, they don't understand.
He's got a World Series ring.
13
00:00:35,735 --> 00:00:37,669
He doesn't care what gringos think.
14
00:00:37,737 --> 00:00:39,762
See, that's the attitude
that's gonna keep us down.
15
00:00:39,839 --> 00:00:42,603
In America,
we have to act like Americans.
16
00:00:47,213 --> 00:00:49,773
This guy must have had some party.
17
00:00:50,550 --> 00:00:52,848
It's good to be the boss.
18
00:00:54,120 --> 00:00:56,953
No. No, it's not.
19
00:00:57,023 --> 00:00:59,014
Senor Zachary.
20
00:00:59,092 --> 00:01:01,083
Borracho?
21
00:01:02,862 --> 00:01:04,853
Muerto.
22
00:01:05,732 --> 00:01:09,259
Two maids found the head honcho
on the floor in his office.
23
00:01:09,335 --> 00:01:11,929
Arnold Zachary. "A" to "Z."
Get it?
24
00:01:12,005 --> 00:01:13,939
Yeah, that's clever, man.
You want some coffee?
25
00:01:14,007 --> 00:01:15,998
We got a kid running down the block.
Yeah. Black's good.
26
00:01:16,076 --> 00:01:18,044
I'm fine.
Call Gruber, add another black.
27
00:01:18,111 --> 00:01:20,045
You want a bear claw?
This Greek guy...
28
00:01:20,113 --> 00:01:21,774
Let me tell you...
Guy's gotta eat.
29
00:01:21,848 --> 00:01:23,338
Two more claws.
None for me, man.
30
00:01:23,416 --> 00:01:26,112
One bite... to die.
Speaking of which...
31
00:01:26,186 --> 00:01:29,644
Arnold Zachary, 55.
Owns the joint.
32
00:01:29,722 --> 00:01:32,190
Looks like he went hand-to-hand
with the Fifth Cavalry.
33
00:01:32,258 --> 00:01:34,283
Anything taken?
This mess, who can tell?
34
00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:36,590
There's a safe over there.
It's all locked up.
35
00:01:36,663 --> 00:01:39,496
Jewelry, watch, and whatnot
are still on the body.
36
00:01:39,566 --> 00:01:42,558
So is a pocket full of hundreds.
A grand, give or take.
37
00:01:42,635 --> 00:01:44,569
We've got massive cranial trauma.
38
00:01:44,637 --> 00:01:46,628
Mandible's busted.
What's this?
39
00:01:46,706 --> 00:01:49,368
Looks like coke, but these days,
I ain't doing a taste test.
40
00:01:49,442 --> 00:01:51,740
You'll get it over to the lab?
Already done.
41
00:01:51,811 --> 00:01:54,541
From temp and lividity,
I put death between 8:00 and 9:00.
42
00:01:54,614 --> 00:01:57,777
And what about the peanut gallery?
Stitchers. Night shift. Downstairs.
43
00:01:57,851 --> 00:02:00,183
They couldn't hear anything with
the machines. Cause of death?
44
00:02:00,253 --> 00:02:03,745
Unofficially, crap kicked out of him.
And officially?
45
00:02:03,823 --> 00:02:06,951
Cardiac arrest caused by
massive physical trauma.
46
00:02:07,026 --> 00:02:09,017
Yeah, but his shirt held up.
47
00:02:59,546 --> 00:03:02,674
It's a terrible, terrible thing.
Mr. Zachary was a good boss.
48
00:03:02,749 --> 00:03:05,980
"Good boss. " Those are two words you
don't usually hear in the same sentence.
49
00:03:06,052 --> 00:03:08,316
No, he's strict.
We have to be here on time.
50
00:03:08,388 --> 00:03:11,016
Still, he has a cake on birthdays.
51
00:03:11,090 --> 00:03:13,615
Good sick time. He cares.
52
00:03:13,693 --> 00:03:17,959
Maria had a baby, and he sent
her flowers with a basket of food.
53
00:03:18,031 --> 00:03:20,397
What time do you work?
I'm on the 4:00-to-12:00 shift.
54
00:03:20,466 --> 00:03:24,664
I go to school days. Mr. Zachary
wrote me a letter of recommendation.
55
00:03:24,737 --> 00:03:26,762
You didn't hear anything
from the office?
56
00:03:26,839 --> 00:03:31,469
With these machines? I didn't know
nothing happened until I saw the police.
57
00:03:31,544 --> 00:03:33,478
How does this compare
to other factories?
58
00:03:33,546 --> 00:03:35,776
So you want to know
if this is a sweatshop?
59
00:03:35,848 --> 00:03:38,112
Is it?
We got air conditioning,
60
00:03:38,184 --> 00:03:40,812
soda machines with ice,
good heat in the winter,
61
00:03:40,887 --> 00:03:43,117
and we get paid what everybody else
gets paid for an eight-hour shift.
62
00:03:43,189 --> 00:03:45,657
How's that?
You got any openings?
63
00:03:45,725 --> 00:03:47,659
Are you Detective Briscoe?
Uh, close enough.
64
00:03:47,727 --> 00:03:52,130
- Mrs. Zachary's upstairs.
- You're gonna have fun with that one.
65
00:03:52,198 --> 00:03:54,723
This is crazy.
He can't be dead.
66
00:03:54,801 --> 00:03:57,599
I'm sorry, Mrs. Zachary.
I'm 26.
67
00:03:57,670 --> 00:04:00,332
How can I be a widow?
I don't know what to do.
68
00:04:00,406 --> 00:04:04,536
Mrs. Zachary, was your husband
always at the office this late?
69
00:04:04,611 --> 00:04:08,513
The shop goes 24-6. He liked to
show his face during every shift.
70
00:04:08,581 --> 00:04:12,017
From what I can tell,
his employees liked him.
71
00:04:12,085 --> 00:04:15,521
What's not to like?
He's big, cuddly.
72
00:04:17,023 --> 00:04:19,014
I called him Bear.
73
00:04:21,661 --> 00:04:24,129
You know, some union guys
have been bothering him recently.
74
00:04:24,197 --> 00:04:26,631
We'll check it out.
They had a security camera...
75
00:04:26,699 --> 00:04:28,633
around the back entrance
to the building.
76
00:04:28,701 --> 00:04:31,499
- I rewound it.
- You wouldn't believe the theft in this business.
77
00:04:31,571 --> 00:04:33,630
Shirts?
Designs.
78
00:04:33,706 --> 00:04:36,368
Arnie was a genius
at making quality for half the price.
79
00:04:36,442 --> 00:04:38,535
Here we go.
80
00:04:38,611 --> 00:04:40,806
He's camera shy.
81
00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:43,678
He knew exactly
where the camera was.
82
00:04:43,750 --> 00:04:46,344
Who uses that entrance?
Nobody.
83
00:04:46,419 --> 00:04:48,512
The security guards are around front.
84
00:04:51,224 --> 00:04:53,886
He's in and out
in less than half an hour.
85
00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:57,726
- Any guesses, Mrs. Zachary?
- Sorry.
86
00:04:57,797 --> 00:05:01,392
Get this to the lab. Get a copy. Make sure
that everybody that works here sees it.
87
00:05:01,467 --> 00:05:05,028
Mrs. Zachary, was everything
okay on the home front?
88
00:05:05,104 --> 00:05:06,594
Excuse me?
89
00:05:06,673 --> 00:05:11,269
I've heard about what a wonderful designer
your husband was, what a great boss,
90
00:05:11,344 --> 00:05:14,871
but I haven't heard about
what a great husband he was.
91
00:05:14,947 --> 00:05:17,939
I'm not an emotional person, okay?
92
00:05:18,017 --> 00:05:21,418
My shrink tells me someday I'll explode.
93
00:05:21,487 --> 00:05:23,421
Arnie was my husband.
94
00:05:23,489 --> 00:05:25,423
I loved him very much.
95
00:05:25,491 --> 00:05:27,482
Does that answer your question?
96
00:05:31,497 --> 00:05:34,557
Okay, stop. Blow it up.
97
00:05:37,770 --> 00:05:39,931
No wedding ring.
That's the first thing you'd think of.
98
00:05:40,006 --> 00:05:43,169
Keeping one off my finger
is all I think about.
99
00:05:43,242 --> 00:05:45,710
Okay, next.
100
00:05:47,046 --> 00:05:49,173
Hold on.
What's that on the hat?
101
00:05:49,248 --> 00:05:52,274
- Looks like a "B."
- Bring up the other frame.
102
00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:56,720
Now, can you isolate
the hat on both?
103
00:05:59,258 --> 00:06:02,091
"B.B."
Bed and breakfast?
104
00:06:02,161 --> 00:06:04,629
Baked beans.
Barrel of bubkes.
105
00:06:04,697 --> 00:06:06,631
This isn't gonna help. Thanks.
106
00:06:06,699 --> 00:06:09,930
Let's go talk to our friendly union rep.
107
00:06:10,002 --> 00:06:13,301
'A"to "Z"Design.
That's Arnie Zachary, right?
108
00:06:13,373 --> 00:06:15,705
Yeah. The recently departed
Arnie Zachary.
109
00:06:15,775 --> 00:06:17,709
Oh, that's a shame.
He was a good guy.
110
00:06:17,777 --> 00:06:19,711
I went to his first wedding.
Hold it.
111
00:06:19,779 --> 00:06:22,043
You guys are Homicide?
Good guess.
112
00:06:22,115 --> 00:06:24,049
And you think someone here
had something to do with this?
113
00:06:24,117 --> 00:06:27,951
He's a nonunion shop. Rag
trade? He's not the only one.
114
00:06:28,020 --> 00:06:30,454
Yeah, but he was the one
that was hassled by your guys.
115
00:06:30,523 --> 00:06:32,650
We hand out leaflets. That's it.
116
00:06:32,725 --> 00:06:35,057
Usually, they get
thrown in the garbage.
117
00:06:35,128 --> 00:06:39,155
Look, we couldn't unionize that shop,
even if we wanted to.
118
00:06:39,232 --> 00:06:42,326
Why's that? You didn't get a
look at who works there, did you?
119
00:06:42,402 --> 00:06:44,927
They looked like good people.
Put it this way:
120
00:06:45,004 --> 00:06:47,973
A good tenth of them
don't file tax returns.
121
00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:51,806
The white powder on your guy's jacket?
It was baking flour.
122
00:06:51,878 --> 00:06:53,812
Thank you, Krispy Kreme.
The thing is,
123
00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:55,814
I analyzed his stomach contents.
124
00:06:55,882 --> 00:06:59,079
Steak, green beans, potato.
My kind of guy.
125
00:06:59,152 --> 00:07:01,416
So no flour?
No flour.
126
00:07:01,487 --> 00:07:03,648
I think they call that a clue, Watson.
127
00:07:03,723 --> 00:07:06,385
It's what I get paid for.
128
00:07:06,459 --> 00:07:09,121
The victim ate a hearty meal,
then went back to the office...
129
00:07:09,195 --> 00:07:11,220
for some face time with the night staff.
130
00:07:11,297 --> 00:07:13,424
Any luck with the
candid camera? Not yet.
131
00:07:13,499 --> 00:07:16,991
Okay, so there's only one bakery
in Manhattan with the initials B.B.
132
00:07:17,069 --> 00:07:19,003
That was on the intruder's hat.
And?
133
00:07:19,071 --> 00:07:22,370
Bagel Baker. They cook and deliver
to stores throughout the city.
134
00:07:22,442 --> 00:07:24,637
See ya.
135
00:07:24,710 --> 00:07:27,144
- What did he do?
- We just need to ask him a few questions.
136
00:07:27,213 --> 00:07:30,705
That doesn't sound good.
We got onion, salt, sesame, everything.
137
00:07:30,783 --> 00:07:33,251
What do you want?
No, a name would be nice.
138
00:07:33,319 --> 00:07:36,186
Him? That could be Camacho.
139
00:07:36,255 --> 00:07:39,713
First name? Uh, Miguel.
He drives for us part time.
140
00:07:39,792 --> 00:07:42,260
I don't know. Maybe that's
not him. Is he here now?
141
00:07:42,328 --> 00:07:46,560
He called in sick. That usually means
he's got a pony running at Belmont.
142
00:07:46,632 --> 00:07:49,658
I'd check the O.T.B.,
98th, on the West Side.
143
00:07:52,805 --> 00:07:56,366
Ah, tough day, huh?
"O" for four.
144
00:07:56,442 --> 00:07:59,673
You should know,
nobody wins at the track, Miguel.
145
00:08:04,317 --> 00:08:05,944
Hey! Hey!
146
00:08:11,858 --> 00:08:14,452
Police.! Hold it.!
147
00:08:14,527 --> 00:08:17,394
- Now get down!
- Okay, don't shoot.
148
00:08:17,463 --> 00:08:20,091
I'm coming down.
Nice and slow.
149
00:08:20,166 --> 00:08:22,430
What the hell
were you running for?
150
00:08:22,502 --> 00:08:24,493
What's the matter with you?
151
00:08:29,742 --> 00:08:32,609
You do understand your rights
as I read them to you?
152
00:08:32,678 --> 00:08:34,908
L- I don't need rights.
I didn't do anything.
153
00:08:34,981 --> 00:08:37,381
That wasn't the question.
154
00:08:37,450 --> 00:08:41,318
Yeah, yeah. I understand. I'm not stupid.
I thought you were I.N.S.
155
00:08:41,387 --> 00:08:44,356
I said "police. "
I like it here, man.
156
00:08:44,423 --> 00:08:47,221
I don't know who you are.
L- I-I don't want to be sent home.
157
00:08:47,293 --> 00:08:49,352
You... You have to believe me.
158
00:08:49,428 --> 00:08:51,988
You don't have to worry about
being sent back to Tijuana, Miguel.
159
00:08:52,064 --> 00:08:56,228
El Chorro is where I'm from.
It's a pigsty.
160
00:08:56,302 --> 00:08:59,863
Yeah, well, maybe in the next
25 to life, they'll fix it up.
161
00:08:59,939 --> 00:09:03,306
- What?
- We got you on film, Miguel.
162
00:09:03,376 --> 00:09:05,037
For what?
163
00:09:05,111 --> 00:09:07,944
Arnold Zachary.
Who?
164
00:09:08,014 --> 00:09:11,381
So it wasn't Zachary's face
that ran into your knuckles?
165
00:09:12,818 --> 00:09:15,309
Nice try, Miguel.
I was in a fight.
166
00:09:15,388 --> 00:09:17,322
Okay, that's a step
in the right direction.
167
00:09:17,390 --> 00:09:19,881
At a bar.
That's not.
168
00:09:19,959 --> 00:09:22,689
Okay, for laughs, what bar?
169
00:09:22,762 --> 00:09:25,663
The Equator.
It's-It's on 116th Street.
170
00:09:25,731 --> 00:09:28,393
And who'd you get in a fight with?
171
00:09:28,467 --> 00:09:32,870
Some dude. He... He say he don't
like illegals stinking up his city.
172
00:09:32,939 --> 00:09:35,635
That's your story?
It's true.
173
00:09:37,944 --> 00:09:42,506
- Can I go?
- Always in a hurry, this guy. Sit tight.
174
00:09:43,816 --> 00:09:47,411
- You're not going to call I.N.S.?
- No, we got first dibs on you, Miguel.
175
00:09:47,486 --> 00:09:50,319
- You know what dibs are?
- Que?
176
00:09:50,389 --> 00:09:53,051
It means your ass is ours.
177
00:09:59,231 --> 00:10:01,199
Damn, man. You ain't
never heard of an air freshener?
178
00:10:01,267 --> 00:10:03,565
We got a girl for that.
She hasn't shown in a couple of weeks.
179
00:10:03,636 --> 00:10:05,934
Smells like she might've
died up in here.
180
00:10:06,005 --> 00:10:08,940
Your friend is sensitive.
He's not as worldly as we are.
181
00:10:09,008 --> 00:10:11,499
Now, we were talking about Miguel.
182
00:10:11,577 --> 00:10:13,602
Yeah, he was here.
I don't know. Maybe at 8:00.
183
00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:16,842
You're sure about that? Could
be later. I don't keep track.
184
00:10:16,916 --> 00:10:19,180
But there was a little pushin'
and shovin' with Carlo around 10:00.
185
00:10:19,251 --> 00:10:21,185
No big deal.
Carlo?
186
00:10:21,253 --> 00:10:23,778
Miguel said the fight was because
somebody was slandering his heritage.
187
00:10:23,856 --> 00:10:27,348
It was. Carlo's Puerto Rican.
Oh, it's all a rich tapestry.
188
00:10:27,426 --> 00:10:30,725
Carlo was too wasted for it to get big.
A couple of guys put him in a cab.
189
00:10:30,796 --> 00:10:32,821
And what? Miguel hung out?
Till closing,
190
00:10:32,898 --> 00:10:35,799
moaning that he's not getting any
'cause his girl just had a kid.
191
00:10:35,868 --> 00:10:38,928
By any chance,
would his girl's name be Maria?
192
00:10:40,106 --> 00:10:41,869
Aren't they all?
193
00:10:41,941 --> 00:10:46,935
The girl I interviewed at the scene said
Zachary was extra sweet to a girl named Maria.
194
00:10:47,013 --> 00:10:49,743
And?
That Maria just had a baby.
195
00:10:49,815 --> 00:10:52,340
Miguel's Maria just had a baby.
And?
196
00:10:52,418 --> 00:10:55,319
So, maybe that puts Miguel
at the scene.
197
00:10:59,125 --> 00:11:03,653
Miguel, he has a big mouth,
but he wouldn't hurt nobody.
198
00:11:03,729 --> 00:11:06,562
Did he ever have any trouble
with Mr. Zachary?
199
00:11:06,632 --> 00:11:09,499
Eh, Senor Zachary from the fabrica?
200
00:11:09,568 --> 00:11:11,900
Why would you ask that?
201
00:11:11,971 --> 00:11:14,667
Oh, you don't know.
Mr. Zachary's dead.
202
00:11:14,740 --> 00:11:16,970
Somebody murdered him
last night.
203
00:11:17,043 --> 00:11:19,034
Oh, no.
204
00:11:23,749 --> 00:11:27,913
You think Miguel was involved?
Miguel didn't even know him.
205
00:11:27,987 --> 00:11:30,251
We don't know
what happened, Maria.
206
00:11:30,322 --> 00:11:32,517
Mr. Zachary
has been very good to me.
207
00:11:32,591 --> 00:11:37,051
He was going to give me
eight weeks off when I had Jose.
208
00:11:38,197 --> 00:11:40,563
Miguel wouldn't hurt him.
209
00:11:40,633 --> 00:11:44,660
He wouldn't do anything that
might take him away from Jose.
210
00:11:44,737 --> 00:11:49,333
- You and Miguel are married?
- We would be if we could get a license.
211
00:11:50,342 --> 00:11:53,106
Eh, you won't go to I.N.S.?
212
00:11:53,179 --> 00:11:56,148
No, no. Don't worry.
That's not our department.
213
00:11:56,215 --> 00:11:59,048
Did anybody at work ever have
trouble with Mr. Zachary?
214
00:11:59,118 --> 00:12:03,384
No. Wait. L-I'll show you, huh?
215
00:12:03,456 --> 00:12:07,449
Oh, here. Let me. I have some
experience with these little guys.
216
00:12:07,526 --> 00:12:09,892
Hi.
217
00:12:09,962 --> 00:12:11,554
Okay.
218
00:12:11,630 --> 00:12:14,656
See? Just like riding a bike. You
ridin' too fast. He's droolin'.
219
00:12:16,268 --> 00:12:18,896
Hey, are you thinking
what I'm thinking?
220
00:12:18,971 --> 00:12:21,906
If you're thinkin' how that baby
ended up with blue eyes? Yeah.
221
00:12:21,974 --> 00:12:26,138
It's okay.
See? Navidad.
222
00:12:26,212 --> 00:12:28,146
Our company Christmas party.
223
00:12:28,214 --> 00:12:31,479
See, that's Senor Zachary
in the Santa suit.
224
00:12:31,550 --> 00:12:35,213
We all loved him.
225
00:12:35,287 --> 00:12:38,814
This dude gives a button stitcher
eight weeks'maternity.
226
00:12:38,891 --> 00:12:42,292
The department gives what, six?
Maybe he's one of the good guys.
227
00:12:42,361 --> 00:12:44,454
Could be I had an extra
cynic pill this morning,
228
00:12:44,530 --> 00:12:46,464
but nobody running a business
is that good.
229
00:12:46,532 --> 00:12:48,932
And you're thinking what?
I'm thinking that Zachary had more...
230
00:12:49,001 --> 00:12:51,060
than a rooting interest
in littleJose.
231
00:12:51,137 --> 00:12:53,071
As in he's the proud papa?
232
00:12:53,139 --> 00:12:56,540
Hey, I held the kid.
Pale skin, blue eyes.
233
00:12:56,609 --> 00:13:00,238
What are the odds that both Maria
and Miguel have the recessive gene?
234
00:13:00,312 --> 00:13:03,679
"You messed with my woman. " That's
number one on the top-ten motive list.
235
00:13:03,749 --> 00:13:09,119
Van Buren.
Okay, I'll tell them.
236
00:13:09,188 --> 00:13:12,715
Okay. You guys sent something
to the D.N.A. Lab?
237
00:13:12,792 --> 00:13:15,818
Yeah, that baby got up close
and personal with Lennie's jacket.
238
00:13:20,266 --> 00:13:23,235
So this guy comes in and says he's got
the shot heard round the world.
239
00:13:23,302 --> 00:13:25,896
What are you talking about?
Ralph Branca, Bobby Thompson.
240
00:13:25,971 --> 00:13:28,269
1951. Giants, Dodgers.
241
00:13:28,340 --> 00:13:32,140
The most famous home run ever hit,
but nobody ever found the ball.
242
00:13:32,211 --> 00:13:34,873
This collector paid almost seven figures,
only he got ripped off.
243
00:13:34,947 --> 00:13:38,508
How could you tell? D.N.A. None from
Ralph Branca anywhere on the ball.
244
00:13:38,584 --> 00:13:42,543
Dino, that is fascinating, but
how we doing on Lennie's jacket?
245
00:13:42,621 --> 00:13:45,055
You like Chinese, don't you?
Uh, D.N.A.
246
00:13:45,124 --> 00:13:47,217
Duck sauce and hot mustard.
247
00:13:47,293 --> 00:13:49,693
- This is only a preliminary, mind you.
- Dino, come on, man.
248
00:13:49,762 --> 00:13:52,253
At first blush, your dead guy...
Arnold Zachary.
249
00:13:52,331 --> 00:13:54,765
Yeah. He should be
handing out cigars.
250
00:13:54,834 --> 00:13:57,632
He's the father?
That's a big yep.
251
00:14:00,806 --> 00:14:02,774
Where's Miguel?
It's good you're worried about him,
252
00:14:02,842 --> 00:14:04,776
'cause he's in
a whole lot of trouble.
253
00:14:04,844 --> 00:14:07,677
I told you.
He wouldn't hurt Mr. Zachary.
254
00:14:07,746 --> 00:14:09,976
Look, we're way past that now.
255
00:14:10,049 --> 00:14:12,711
We even know why he did it.
No.
256
00:14:12,785 --> 00:14:16,277
Look, I know that Miguel
isn'tJose's father.
257
00:14:17,289 --> 00:14:19,621
Arnold Zachary is.
We already know that.
258
00:14:19,692 --> 00:14:22,525
That's science.
You can't even argue it.
259
00:14:22,595 --> 00:14:24,688
So what happened, Maria?
260
00:14:25,698 --> 00:14:27,632
Miguel took one look atJose
and flipped out?
261
00:14:27,700 --> 00:14:30,362
No.
262
00:14:30,436 --> 00:14:32,267
Miguel.
263
00:14:32,338 --> 00:14:34,966
Look, I gotta tell you...
If you keep protecting him,
264
00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:36,974
the D.A.'s gonna consider you
an accessory.
265
00:14:37,042 --> 00:14:40,307
Que?
That means you go to jail too.
266
00:14:40,379 --> 00:14:43,280
What's gonna happen
to littleJose?
267
00:14:43,349 --> 00:14:45,283
He didn't kill anyone.
268
00:14:45,351 --> 00:14:47,512
He wouldn't hurt Mr. Zachary.
269
00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:50,852
I was married, Miguel.
270
00:14:50,923 --> 00:14:54,950
Then one time, I walk into this bar,
and I saw my lovely bride...
271
00:14:55,027 --> 00:14:58,554
my "for better or for worse,
till death do us part" missus...
272
00:14:58,631 --> 00:15:01,623
locking lips with Joe
from the shoe store.
273
00:15:03,068 --> 00:15:05,059
So?
274
00:15:05,137 --> 00:15:07,435
SoJoe was lucky
I wasn't carrying,
275
00:15:07,506 --> 00:15:12,170
because I picked him up by the neck and
threw him headfirst out into the street.
276
00:15:12,244 --> 00:15:14,337
You picked the wrong woman.
277
00:15:14,413 --> 00:15:17,211
Oh, that happens all the time,
Miguel.
278
00:15:17,283 --> 00:15:21,379
It's just that, uh, some of us
find out about it sooner than others.
279
00:15:21,453 --> 00:15:24,616
What do you say, Miguel?
Maria loves me.
280
00:15:24,690 --> 00:15:27,352
But she was sleeping with Zachary.
281
00:15:28,127 --> 00:15:30,425
Liar!
282
00:15:30,496 --> 00:15:32,726
She had his baby.
283
00:15:32,798 --> 00:15:35,596
No.
284
00:15:35,668 --> 00:15:38,637
You must have got a charge
out of kicking his brains in.
285
00:15:38,704 --> 00:15:42,265
- I know I loved throwing Joe out on the street.
- It wasn't me!
286
00:15:42,341 --> 00:15:46,277
Oh, yeah, I forgot.
You're a lover, not a fighter, huh?
287
00:15:46,345 --> 00:15:49,837
So what kind of a guy lets another man
get away with something like that?
288
00:15:54,687 --> 00:15:59,056
I hope Lennie's doing better than I did.
He's got his story. He's sticking to it.
289
00:15:59,124 --> 00:16:02,355
Ah, what are you gonna do?
True love conquers all.
290
00:16:02,428 --> 00:16:04,362
Huh. Let's use it.
291
00:16:04,430 --> 00:16:07,627
We're gonna find prints, Miguel,
somewhere in Zachary's office.
292
00:16:07,700 --> 00:16:10,294
Lennie, forget it. The
lieutenant says she's had enough.
293
00:16:10,369 --> 00:16:12,860
- She wants to charge both of'em.
- Maria?
294
00:16:12,938 --> 00:16:15,202
Social Services is coming
for the baby.
295
00:16:15,274 --> 00:16:18,437
You had your chance, pal.
No. Wait.
296
00:16:21,347 --> 00:16:24,544
- I did it.
- Did what?
297
00:16:26,652 --> 00:16:29,746
I killed him for what he did to Maria.
298
00:16:30,756 --> 00:16:33,418
She didn't know
I was going down there.
299
00:16:33,492 --> 00:16:36,120
She had nothing to do with it.
300
00:16:36,195 --> 00:16:38,186
It was all me.
301
00:16:44,036 --> 00:16:48,370
Docket number 476295,
People versus Camacho, Miguel H.
302
00:16:48,440 --> 00:16:51,466
Charge is murder in
the second degree. Oh!
303
00:16:51,543 --> 00:16:55,445
Thank you for getting my day
started off with a bang, Mr. Camacho.
304
00:16:55,514 --> 00:16:58,779
De nada, senor.
That was rhetorical, sir.
305
00:16:58,851 --> 00:17:02,548
- Language problem, Judge.
- As long as he wasn't speaking wiseass.
306
00:17:02,621 --> 00:17:06,284
Spanish, Your Honor.
Let's see how he does with a plea.
307
00:17:09,128 --> 00:17:11,119
No guilty, Your Honor.
308
00:17:11,196 --> 00:17:14,359
As the defendant is in the country
illegally, the People request remand.
309
00:17:14,433 --> 00:17:17,766
Oh, you're not having a good day,
are you, Mr. Camacho?
310
00:17:17,836 --> 00:17:20,361
Your Honor, I object.
Save your breath, counselor.
311
00:17:20,439 --> 00:17:24,842
One thing about the huddled masses:
They need a ticket to get in.
312
00:17:24,910 --> 00:17:27,037
Defendant is remanded without bail.
313
00:17:27,112 --> 00:17:29,103
Next.
314
00:17:29,181 --> 00:17:31,445
Murder two?
Come on, Jack.
315
00:17:31,517 --> 00:17:35,248
Cheating wife, murdered lover.
It's as old as the Old Testament.
316
00:17:35,320 --> 00:17:37,618
Is there a legal argument
in there someplace?
317
00:17:37,689 --> 00:17:40,624
Are you really that thick, or are
your boxers just tied in a knot...
318
00:17:40,692 --> 00:17:42,626
because of
the citizenship thing?
319
00:17:42,694 --> 00:17:45,094
You know me better than that.
Can you spell racism?
320
00:17:45,164 --> 00:17:47,928
Any other defendant
would have been offered man two,
321
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:50,969
extreme emotional disturbance,
and you would've called it a day.
322
00:17:51,036 --> 00:17:55,735
He waited a week after he found out that the
baby wasn't his before he killed Arnold Zachary.
323
00:17:55,808 --> 00:17:58,299
Go back and look at the good book
written by the apostles up in Albany.
324
00:17:58,377 --> 00:18:01,744
It's called a cooling off period,
and it negates the lesser mens rea.
325
00:18:02,815 --> 00:18:05,306
Ooh, they get prettier and smarter.
326
00:18:05,384 --> 00:18:07,511
I'll consider man one.
He serves the maximum.
327
00:18:07,586 --> 00:18:09,520
You'll shove it is what you'll do.
328
00:18:09,588 --> 00:18:11,988
I didn't mean to...
Stay cool, Miguel.
329
00:18:12,057 --> 00:18:15,720
Once you get to know Mr. McCoy a little
better, you see, where he's concerned,
330
00:18:15,794 --> 00:18:18,524
smoke in the bedroom doesn't always mean
there's a fire in the mattress.
331
00:18:18,597 --> 00:18:20,531
- Vanessa...
- Jack, we're talking about...
332
00:18:20,599 --> 00:18:22,533
different cultures here.
333
00:18:22,601 --> 00:18:24,694
The Latins...
You know, it's a macho thing.
334
00:18:24,770 --> 00:18:27,500
Humiliation in the community,
it's a powerful force.
335
00:18:27,573 --> 00:18:30,007
You're not going to argue that...
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
336
00:18:30,075 --> 00:18:33,533
I'm crude, I'm disgusting,
and I win cases.
337
00:18:33,612 --> 00:18:35,944
Could I please finish a sentence here?
Why?
338
00:18:36,014 --> 00:18:38,312
I'm not listenin' to you anyway.
And it appears...
339
00:18:38,383 --> 00:18:40,317
you didn't pay much attention
to the indictment either.
340
00:18:40,385 --> 00:18:44,981
- Your client confessed.
- Query: When is a confession not a confession?
341
00:18:45,057 --> 00:18:48,720
- Answer: When it's coerced.
- He signed his Miranda warnings.
342
00:18:48,794 --> 00:18:50,785
That's right. In English.
343
00:18:50,863 --> 00:18:52,797
As you well know,
my client is hardly fluent.
344
00:18:52,865 --> 00:18:56,232
That's ridiculous, Vanessa!
Jack, I was talking!
345
00:18:56,301 --> 00:18:58,963
And how is that different
than when I was talking?
346
00:18:59,037 --> 00:19:01,904
Because I'm a lady.
Here's my motion to exclude.
347
00:19:04,343 --> 00:19:07,904
And if you feel like loosening the knot in
the old boxers, you know where to find me.
348
00:19:07,980 --> 00:19:10,744
Come on, Miguel.
349
00:19:11,917 --> 00:19:14,249
Call Briscoe or Green
or whoever screwed this up.
350
00:19:16,622 --> 00:19:18,556
It's a crock is what it is.
351
00:19:18,624 --> 00:19:20,785
I asked him if he understood
what I was saying.
352
00:19:20,859 --> 00:19:22,793
In English.
Of course in English.
353
00:19:22,861 --> 00:19:25,227
And he understood me fine.
How do you know?
354
00:19:25,297 --> 00:19:27,595
Because I asked him right after
Ed grabbed him trying to escape...
355
00:19:27,666 --> 00:19:29,600
and again before he said anything.
356
00:19:29,668 --> 00:19:32,136
And you asked him in English?
We are in America.
357
00:19:32,204 --> 00:19:34,229
How's your Spanish?
It isn't.
358
00:19:34,306 --> 00:19:36,240
But if I didn't think
I was communicating with him,
359
00:19:36,308 --> 00:19:38,333
I would have called in
a detective who is fluent.
360
00:19:38,410 --> 00:19:40,344
But you knew that Miguel
was an illegal alien?
361
00:19:40,412 --> 00:19:43,779
Yeah. He was also a criminal,
if that means anything to anybody.
362
00:19:43,849 --> 00:19:47,285
This is crap.
This is why I hate lawyers.
363
00:19:47,352 --> 00:19:49,286
Me too.
364
00:19:49,354 --> 00:19:51,288
He's been a cop long enough
to know...
365
00:19:51,356 --> 00:19:53,950
What? That a suspect understands
him? That's not the point.
366
00:19:54,026 --> 00:19:57,689
He's dealing with an illegal alien,
whose first language isn't English.
367
00:19:57,763 --> 00:20:00,789
Oh, please. Miguel Camacho's
lived in this country for six years.
368
00:20:00,866 --> 00:20:03,767
He's got a job. He earns a living,
and he speaks the language.
369
00:20:03,835 --> 00:20:06,201
And if he doesn't, he should.
370
00:20:06,271 --> 00:20:08,205
Don't look at me.
As far as I'm concerned,
371
00:20:08,273 --> 00:20:10,207
we've got more cuffs
on the cops than the criminals.
372
00:20:10,275 --> 00:20:12,209
The Miranda warnings
are a formality.
373
00:20:12,277 --> 00:20:15,246
Hell, they've become trite.
Everybody knows their rights, Jack.
374
00:20:15,314 --> 00:20:17,509
I wonder how Judge Larkin
will take that argument.
375
00:20:17,583 --> 00:20:21,952
Larkin, huh? I hear she had the right
turn signal removed from her car.
376
00:20:26,592 --> 00:20:29,686
Hello? Miranda.
Has anyone ever heard of it?
377
00:20:29,761 --> 00:20:31,922
It's only been around since 1966.
378
00:20:31,997 --> 00:20:34,591
Your Honor, the detectives
informed the defendant of his rights.
379
00:20:34,666 --> 00:20:37,931
Yeah. Yeah. And they might as
well have been talking to a wall.
380
00:20:38,003 --> 00:20:41,962
The police had a long conversation
with him in English before he confessed.
381
00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:44,600
Before they read him his rights?
No.
382
00:20:44,676 --> 00:20:47,167
My point is that they were convinced
he understood enough English.
383
00:20:47,246 --> 00:20:50,306
Really?
What exactly is enough...
384
00:20:50,382 --> 00:20:53,249
when it comes to the Fifth Amendment
right against self-incrimination?
385
00:20:53,318 --> 00:20:56,151
He understood enough
to waive those rights twice.
386
00:20:56,221 --> 00:21:01,056
And it is the prosecution's burden to show
said waiver was knowing and intelligent.
387
00:21:01,126 --> 00:21:03,185
My client is an illegal alien,
Your Honor.
388
00:21:03,262 --> 00:21:05,457
Did the police know that?
Of course they did.
389
00:21:05,530 --> 00:21:07,964
In the Connelley case,
the Supreme Court held...
390
00:21:08,033 --> 00:21:12,595
that a defendant in the middle of a psychotic
episode was capable of knowingly waiving...
391
00:21:12,671 --> 00:21:15,663
Are you proposing that a person not born
within the borders of this country...
392
00:21:15,741 --> 00:21:18,039
is the equivalent ofbeing psychotic?
393
00:21:18,110 --> 00:21:22,308
I'm saying that a person who, by the mere act
ofbreathing our air, is committing a felony,
394
00:21:22,381 --> 00:21:26,112
should not be afforded more rights
than a citizen with a mental illness.
395
00:21:26,184 --> 00:21:31,019
Excuse me. Equal protection applies
to any person within the borders.
396
00:21:31,089 --> 00:21:35,958
Now, if you're implying that Mr. Camacho
is somehow less than a person...
397
00:21:36,028 --> 00:21:40,158
I'm saying this is a legal tactic
born of a hollow legal formality.
398
00:21:40,232 --> 00:21:43,065
Miranda is a hollow formality,
is it?
399
00:21:43,135 --> 00:21:45,968
What I meant, Your Honor, was
when form dictates substance...
400
00:21:46,038 --> 00:21:49,269
Don't dig yourself in any deeper,
counselor.
401
00:21:49,341 --> 00:21:53,675
Hollow formality or not,
the confession is out.
402
00:21:56,448 --> 00:21:59,383
Pity the poor immigrant?
403
00:21:59,451 --> 00:22:01,851
I'm not proud of what I said
in there, Serena.
404
00:22:01,920 --> 00:22:06,357
Maybe it's time
somebody said it. Jack.!
405
00:22:06,425 --> 00:22:08,916
Jack, no hard feelings, right?
As a matter of fact...
406
00:22:08,994 --> 00:22:11,656
Che sera. Okay, let's see
what you don't have.
407
00:22:11,730 --> 00:22:14,494
You don't have a confession, which
means you don't have a motive.
408
00:22:14,566 --> 00:22:17,000
We can prove Miguel's girlfriend
was cheating on him.
409
00:22:17,069 --> 00:22:19,765
Yeah. But you can't prove that he knew
about it, which means you don't have a case,
410
00:22:19,838 --> 00:22:23,274
which means that man two dealie is
sounding awful good right about now.
411
00:22:23,342 --> 00:22:26,368
Not to me it's not.
Oh, I knew you'd say that.
412
00:22:26,445 --> 00:22:30,313
So why'd you bring it up? I love
to see you stew in your own juices.
413
00:22:32,050 --> 00:22:35,713
Is there something I should
know about? Inevitable discovery.
414
00:22:35,787 --> 00:22:37,721
That's not what I was asking.
415
00:22:37,789 --> 00:22:40,019
No, but it's how we
make motive admissible.
416
00:22:40,092 --> 00:22:42,458
Get it from another
independent source.
417
00:22:43,628 --> 00:22:46,563
I switched to nights at 'A"to "Z"
when I went back to school.
418
00:22:46,631 --> 00:22:50,397
How long ago was that? Uh,
this semester. A month maybe.
419
00:22:50,469 --> 00:22:52,767
So before that, you
worked with Maria? Sure.
420
00:22:52,838 --> 00:22:55,306
Did you see her son?
He is so adorable.
421
00:22:55,374 --> 00:22:57,467
He smiles, and you
just want one of your own.
422
00:22:57,542 --> 00:23:01,000
I haven't seen him. Makes me
wonder what I'm doing here.
423
00:23:01,079 --> 00:23:03,240
It sounds like you two are close.
424
00:23:03,315 --> 00:23:05,783
We worked together
for over a year at the shop.
425
00:23:05,851 --> 00:23:08,979
Yeah. That'll do it. Did she ever
mention anything about Miguel?
426
00:23:10,055 --> 00:23:13,218
"Miguel did this. Miguel did that. "
You know, stuff girls talk about.
427
00:23:13,291 --> 00:23:16,385
Did she ever talk about anyone else?
Anyone she was seeing?
428
00:23:16,461 --> 00:23:19,521
Besides Miguel? No way.
She loves him.
429
00:23:19,598 --> 00:23:21,623
He loves her.
He's a good guy.
430
00:23:21,700 --> 00:23:24,328
A little overprotective,
if you ask me. How so?
431
00:23:24,403 --> 00:23:27,702
Like, a month after she got
pregnant, he made her quit work.
432
00:23:27,773 --> 00:23:31,607
Like, what are you gonna do? Sit around
the apartment all day getting fat?
433
00:23:35,180 --> 00:23:37,171
You interested in a burger?
434
00:23:38,650 --> 00:23:41,414
Hello?
Just a minute.
435
00:23:42,421 --> 00:23:44,912
These are Zachary's canceled checks
over the past year.
436
00:23:44,990 --> 00:23:49,620
In the beginning of each month, he wrote
a check for $3,000, payable to "Cash. "
437
00:23:49,694 --> 00:23:52,788
Walking-around money.
That's a hell of a walk.
438
00:23:52,864 --> 00:23:55,958
It looks like they were all cashed
at a place called Geraldo's.
439
00:23:56,034 --> 00:23:58,832
Restaurant?
It could be.
440
00:23:58,904 --> 00:24:02,863
Jack, there are nine of them, starting
with the month that Maria got pregnant.
441
00:24:02,941 --> 00:24:06,468
It looks like they were all endorsed
by someone named Anita Sanchez.
442
00:24:07,479 --> 00:24:12,212
Call the bank. Find out
where and who Geraldo is.
443
00:24:12,284 --> 00:24:14,275
Pay him a visit.
444
00:24:15,687 --> 00:24:19,088
I don't want any trouble. Why? Are you
doing something you should be ashamed of?
445
00:24:19,157 --> 00:24:22,854
I'm an honest businessman. Then
you have nothing to worry about.
446
00:24:22,928 --> 00:24:24,862
Did you cash that check?
447
00:24:24,930 --> 00:24:28,093
Sure. It's got my stamp.
Seventy cents on the dollar.
448
00:24:28,166 --> 00:24:30,464
That's pretty good.
It pays for the bum checks.
449
00:24:30,535 --> 00:24:34,801
I'm sure it does. All of these checks
were endorsed by Anita Sanchez.
450
00:24:34,873 --> 00:24:37,967
Sure. And I got
a bridge to sell you.
451
00:24:39,044 --> 00:24:43,140
I ask for I.D. Most people give me what
they bought on Broadway for 20 bucks.
452
00:24:43,215 --> 00:24:46,582
So you don't know Anita's real
name? No. But I know who does.
453
00:24:46,651 --> 00:24:49,677
She lives with this guy from the
O.T.B. I know. Miguel something.
454
00:24:49,754 --> 00:24:51,915
They're always here together.
455
00:24:53,458 --> 00:24:56,086
Every month like clockwork,
456
00:24:56,161 --> 00:24:58,425
starting with the month
Maria got pregnant.
457
00:24:58,497 --> 00:25:01,591
It's called a salary, Jack.
She wasn't working.
458
00:25:01,666 --> 00:25:04,931
She told her friends that Miguel insisted
she stay home to protect the baby.
459
00:25:05,003 --> 00:25:07,767
Which only helps to prove that
he thought the baby was his.
460
00:25:07,839 --> 00:25:11,536
That's one way to look at it. The other is
that they were blackmailing Arnold Zachary.
461
00:25:11,610 --> 00:25:13,669
"Pay up or we'll tell the wife. "
462
00:25:13,745 --> 00:25:17,909
Three thousand a month,
minus the check casher's cut.
463
00:25:17,983 --> 00:25:19,917
They're not what you'd call
master criminals.
464
00:25:19,985 --> 00:25:22,215
That's why they got caught.
Think about it.
465
00:25:22,287 --> 00:25:26,189
Zachary was worth millions. Why
would they ask for nickels and dimes?
466
00:25:26,258 --> 00:25:29,921
Maybe they weren't greedy.
Maybe they were just stupid.
467
00:25:29,995 --> 00:25:32,293
No. We didn't do anything wrong.
468
00:25:32,364 --> 00:25:34,355
You killed someone.
I had to. L...
469
00:25:35,600 --> 00:25:39,798
Jose... He's not really Maria's baby.
470
00:25:41,139 --> 00:25:44,108
The doctor...
No. Maybe this isn't the best time, Miguel.
471
00:25:44,175 --> 00:25:46,439
Sure. We can always
tack on kidnapping too.
472
00:25:46,511 --> 00:25:48,843
No, no. We didn't takeJose.
473
00:25:48,914 --> 00:25:51,178
Mrs. Zachary, she couldn't...
474
00:25:52,083 --> 00:25:55,416
The doctor putJose inside Maria.
475
00:25:55,487 --> 00:25:58,786
Are you saying Maria is a surrogate?
Yes.
476
00:25:58,857 --> 00:26:03,419
- The surrogate.
- And you didn't know about this?
477
00:26:03,495 --> 00:26:05,429
Who would think to ask?
478
00:26:05,497 --> 00:26:08,398
Mr. Zachary,
he pay Maria to stay healthy,
479
00:26:08,466 --> 00:26:11,401
so the baby could stay healthy.
480
00:26:11,469 --> 00:26:13,403
L- It wasn't blackmail.
481
00:26:13,471 --> 00:26:15,735
Then why murder?
Okay. Wait. Whoa.
482
00:26:15,807 --> 00:26:20,574
That's one too many questions
without an offer on the table.
483
00:26:20,645 --> 00:26:24,103
- Jack?
- Cart before the horse, Vanessa.
484
00:26:24,182 --> 00:26:26,275
Yeah, but we're rolling downhill,
485
00:26:26,351 --> 00:26:29,115
and we're not gonna stop
until there is an offer on this table.
486
00:26:35,393 --> 00:26:39,625
That's exactly why the legislature
refuses to make surrogacy contracts legal.
487
00:26:39,698 --> 00:26:41,632
Oh, really?
I thought it was those blinders...
488
00:26:41,700 --> 00:26:43,634
they had permanently blocking
their vision.
489
00:26:43,702 --> 00:26:46,637
Not every step science takes forward
is a good thing, Serena.
490
00:26:46,705 --> 00:26:49,105
It's not necessarily
a bad thing either.
491
00:26:49,174 --> 00:26:51,369
If it ends in baby trafficking,
it is.
492
00:26:51,443 --> 00:26:53,434
I suppose we should outlaw cars
because some people...
493
00:26:53,511 --> 00:26:56,344
have a couple of drinks
before they head home.
494
00:26:56,414 --> 00:26:59,679
Do I hear a little maternal instinct
bleeding through?
495
00:26:59,751 --> 00:27:02,720
Some feminists
might argue just the opposite.
496
00:27:02,787 --> 00:27:06,655
Legalizing surrogacy would be the ultimate
step forward in women's liberation.
497
00:27:06,725 --> 00:27:09,888
It would de-biologize motherhood,
and women could become mommies...
498
00:27:09,961 --> 00:27:12,657
without going through
pregnancy and childbirth.
499
00:27:12,731 --> 00:27:14,722
And this is
a good idea because?
500
00:27:14,799 --> 00:27:16,733
Equality ring a bell?
501
00:27:16,801 --> 00:27:19,497
Femininity would no longer
be defined by fertility.
502
00:27:19,571 --> 00:27:22,540
No, that would be left
to the new breeder class...
503
00:27:22,607 --> 00:27:25,974
women who use their bodies
as a means of making a living.
504
00:27:26,044 --> 00:27:28,012
We used to have a word
for women like that.
505
00:27:28,079 --> 00:27:30,206
That's what the rest
of the feminists argue.
506
00:27:30,281 --> 00:27:33,876
The bottom line is, is that if surrogacy
were legal and regulated,
507
00:27:33,952 --> 00:27:35,886
Arnold Zachary
might still be alive.
508
00:27:35,954 --> 00:27:38,752
And if we convict Miguel,
maybe it won't happen again.
509
00:27:38,823 --> 00:27:41,155
And how big of an "if'
is that?
510
00:27:41,226 --> 00:27:43,956
Two illegal aliens killing
over an illegal contract.
511
00:27:44,029 --> 00:27:48,864
I'd say the "if' is smaller than
a slice of bread inside the bread box.
512
00:27:52,370 --> 00:27:54,964
On the night
of November the 11 th,
513
00:27:55,040 --> 00:27:56,974
the defendant, Miguel Camacho,
514
00:27:57,042 --> 00:28:00,876
went to visit Arnold Zachary
in his office.
515
00:28:01,813 --> 00:28:05,408
The two men had business
to discuss.
516
00:28:05,483 --> 00:28:08,611
They had a disagreement.
Words got heated.
517
00:28:08,687 --> 00:28:10,814
Threats were made,
518
00:28:10,889 --> 00:28:15,383
and Arnold Zachary ended up dead
on the floor ofhis office...
519
00:28:15,460 --> 00:28:18,395
with three broken ribs,
a broken jaw,
520
00:28:18,463 --> 00:28:22,957
internal bleeding
and a coronary arrest.
521
00:28:23,034 --> 00:28:25,559
Those are the facts in this case.
522
00:28:25,637 --> 00:28:31,439
Everything else you will hear,
no matter how emotional, is irrelevant...
523
00:28:31,509 --> 00:28:34,740
a smoke screen designed
to obfuscate the facts.
524
00:28:35,814 --> 00:28:38,408
When you ignore
the irrelevancies,
525
00:28:38,483 --> 00:28:40,713
when you blow away the smoke,
526
00:28:41,720 --> 00:28:45,486
you will have no choice
but to find the defendant guilty...
527
00:28:45,557 --> 00:28:48,117
of murder in the second degree.
528
00:28:54,365 --> 00:28:59,064
A woman being asked
to give up her baby...
529
00:28:59,137 --> 00:29:01,196
irrelevant.
530
00:29:01,272 --> 00:29:04,241
A man trying to stay in this country...
531
00:29:04,309 --> 00:29:06,277
smoke screen.
532
00:29:06,344 --> 00:29:11,509
I'll tell you what. That's one
coldhearted prosecutor we've got here.
533
00:29:12,550 --> 00:29:14,484
Let me tell you a little story.
534
00:29:14,552 --> 00:29:18,818
My client and his girlfriend,
Maria Villanueva,
535
00:29:18,890 --> 00:29:21,791
left the barrios of El Chorro, Mexico.
536
00:29:21,860 --> 00:29:25,523
They left the dirt and the filth
and disease.
537
00:29:25,597 --> 00:29:29,397
They left the drug dealers that would
kill you just as soon as look at you,
538
00:29:29,467 --> 00:29:31,196
and they came here.
539
00:29:31,269 --> 00:29:33,999
They gotjobs.
And everything was hunky-dory...
540
00:29:34,072 --> 00:29:37,701
until Maria's boss came to her
with an ultimatum.
541
00:29:37,776 --> 00:29:40,973
He said to her, "Maria,
542
00:29:41,045 --> 00:29:45,311
I want you to act as a surrogate
for my wife and me.
543
00:29:45,383 --> 00:29:49,547
I want you to carry our baby. "
Maria was 24 years old.
544
00:29:49,621 --> 00:29:52,055
The last thing she wanted to be
was pregnant,
545
00:29:52,123 --> 00:29:55,286
never mind
with someone else's baby.
546
00:29:55,360 --> 00:29:58,989
She told him as much.
But he said to her,
547
00:29:59,063 --> 00:30:02,863
"You do it, or I'll ship your
Mexican ass back to El Chorro. "
548
00:30:02,934 --> 00:30:05,835
Objection!
Maria was as good as raped,
549
00:30:05,904 --> 00:30:07,599
ladies and gentlemen.
Counselor.
550
00:30:07,672 --> 00:30:10,971
A figurative gun was held to her head
by the so-called victim...
551
00:30:11,042 --> 00:30:13,602
- Chambers, Your Honor.
- Now!
552
00:30:13,678 --> 00:30:16,806
Rape? A gun to her head?
553
00:30:16,881 --> 00:30:19,406
It's all inflammatory.
I want a mistrial.
554
00:30:19,484 --> 00:30:23,181
Excuse me, but what Mr. Zachary
did to Maria... that's inflammatory.
555
00:30:23,254 --> 00:30:25,848
Sweatshops are illegal.
Slavery is illegal.
556
00:30:25,924 --> 00:30:27,858
But forced childbirth,
that's okay?
557
00:30:27,926 --> 00:30:31,225
She could have said no. Have
you ever been to El Chorro?
558
00:30:31,296 --> 00:30:33,264
Believe me, you'd do anything
not to go there.
559
00:30:33,331 --> 00:30:36,732
- Your Honor, the Zacharys paid Maria.
- To eat and to pay for heat...
560
00:30:36,801 --> 00:30:38,735
while she was carrying their child.
561
00:30:38,803 --> 00:30:41,772
The law says that the circumstances
of the surrogacy...
562
00:30:41,840 --> 00:30:45,503
are irrelevant when it comes to the
defendant's guilt on the murder charge.
563
00:30:45,577 --> 00:30:48,808
You know, the truth is, Mr. McCoy,
unless they changed the law,
564
00:30:48,880 --> 00:30:53,283
the defense is permitted to present
any reasonable defense it sees fit.
565
00:30:53,351 --> 00:30:56,081
Not without a modicum of proof.
Hey, I have witnesses.
566
00:30:56,154 --> 00:30:59,146
Or are you gonna keep them off the stand
'cause they don't have their green cards yet?
567
00:30:59,224 --> 00:31:01,385
No, but if they're not already
on your witness list...
568
00:31:01,459 --> 00:31:05,657
Your Honor, my clientjust informed me
of the facts surrounding the surrogacy.
569
00:31:05,730 --> 00:31:08,494
Here's a novel idea.
Try talking to your client.
570
00:31:08,566 --> 00:31:11,000
He doesn't understand the system.
He may not be the only one.
571
00:31:11,069 --> 00:31:14,095
- Are you calling me a liar?
- I'm saying that you're carrying...
572
00:31:14,172 --> 00:31:16,265
zealous representation
to an absurd extreme.
573
00:31:16,341 --> 00:31:20,072
- This is your third defense.
- And that's for the jury to decide.
574
00:31:20,144 --> 00:31:22,635
But without witnesses,
there is no decision.
575
00:31:22,714 --> 00:31:25,239
Excuse me, counselor.
Weren't you the one...
576
00:31:25,316 --> 00:31:28,911
who argued against
hollow formalities in the law?
577
00:31:28,987 --> 00:31:31,148
Your Honor...
Don't worry.
578
00:31:31,222 --> 00:31:33,850
I'll give you time to talk
to Ms. Galiano's witnesses.
579
00:31:33,925 --> 00:31:36,155
As soon as she finds them.
580
00:31:38,263 --> 00:31:42,563
I've been performing I. V. F... in vitro
fertilization... for almost 10 years.
581
00:31:42,634 --> 00:31:45,364
That's thousands ofhealthy babies.
582
00:31:45,436 --> 00:31:48,894
Was there anything unique about
the Zacharys'case, Dr. Harrington?
583
00:31:48,973 --> 00:31:53,706
Not particularly. I implanted a
fertilized ovum into a healthy young woman.
584
00:31:53,778 --> 00:31:56,474
- Maria Villanueva.
- That's correct.
585
00:31:56,547 --> 00:32:00,415
Are you aware ofhow she came
to agree to be a surrogate?
586
00:32:00,485 --> 00:32:03,113
She said she was a friend
of Mr. Zachary.
587
00:32:03,187 --> 00:32:05,348
Did she at any time
give the impression...
588
00:32:05,423 --> 00:32:09,450
that she had been forced or coerced
in any way into carrying the child?
589
00:32:09,527 --> 00:32:12,121
Quite the contrary.
She seemed excited about it.
590
00:32:12,196 --> 00:32:15,893
Certainly, I wouldn't have been involved if I
thought there was anything underhanded going on.
591
00:32:15,967 --> 00:32:17,958
Thank you, Doctor.
592
00:32:21,906 --> 00:32:25,205
Are you aware, Doctor,
that most surrogate mothers...
593
00:32:25,276 --> 00:32:28,643
earn just above the poverty level?
Yes.
594
00:32:28,713 --> 00:32:31,944
And that over 40 percent of them
are unemployed?
595
00:32:32,016 --> 00:32:34,450
- Yes.
- Well, did you ever wonder why?
596
00:32:34,519 --> 00:32:38,853
I'm not a sociologist. Could it
be they're not all that altruistic?
597
00:32:38,923 --> 00:32:41,255
Objection.
Withdrawn.
598
00:32:41,326 --> 00:32:44,261
Were you there when Maria
decided to become a fetus-sitter?
599
00:32:44,329 --> 00:32:47,890
Objection. What the
hell would you call her?
600
00:32:47,966 --> 00:32:49,900
Answer the question, Doctor.
601
00:32:51,836 --> 00:32:53,861
No. She had already
made up her mind.
602
00:32:53,938 --> 00:32:57,499
So you don't really know what went into
the making of that decision, do you?
603
00:32:57,575 --> 00:33:00,043
Not firsthand, no.
604
00:33:04,015 --> 00:33:08,418
You know, when you're a kid, you
get the Barbie doll, you play mommy.
605
00:33:08,486 --> 00:33:11,751
I know it's not fashionable
or P.C.
606
00:33:11,823 --> 00:33:13,757
Finally, it was gonna happen for me,
607
00:33:13,825 --> 00:33:17,784
thanks to men like Dr. Harrington,
thanks to science.
608
00:33:17,862 --> 00:33:21,025
And don't forget the girls like
Maria Villanueva. Of course not.
609
00:33:22,200 --> 00:33:25,567
- Maria was an angel.
- You spent time with her, did you?
610
00:33:25,636 --> 00:33:29,265
At first, I didn't think I'd want to.
I don't know. Maybe it was jealousy.
611
00:33:29,340 --> 00:33:33,902
Maybe I was just scared that someday I'd
be walking through FAO Schwarz with my baby,
612
00:33:33,978 --> 00:33:37,880
and I'd see her, and I wouldn't know
what to say or how to act.
613
00:33:37,949 --> 00:33:41,885
But... Arnold said
she wanted to meet me.
614
00:33:41,953 --> 00:33:44,820
So we had dinner,
and I was glad we did.
615
00:33:44,889 --> 00:33:47,449
She seemed wonderful.
A real angel.
616
00:33:47,525 --> 00:33:51,962
Did you or your husband ever pressure her
into doing anything she didn't want to do?
617
00:33:52,030 --> 00:33:56,831
Absolutely not. Sure, she was
a little nervous at first, but so was I.
618
00:33:56,901 --> 00:33:59,461
I didn't know what to say.
619
00:33:59,537 --> 00:34:03,906
I mean, what do you say to someone
who's gonna be carrying your eggs?
620
00:34:03,975 --> 00:34:06,034
But it all worked out until...
621
00:34:14,986 --> 00:34:17,614
Maybe it would have
worked out differently...
622
00:34:17,688 --> 00:34:20,316
if you got together
more than that one dinner.
623
00:34:20,391 --> 00:34:23,189
I was warned not to get too close,
just in case.
624
00:34:23,261 --> 00:34:27,027
Just in case what? I know surrogates
sometimes change their minds.
625
00:34:27,098 --> 00:34:31,330
Is that why you picked someone who couldn't
possibly mount a legal fight against you?
626
00:34:31,402 --> 00:34:34,565
Objection.
Withdrawn.
627
00:34:34,639 --> 00:34:38,336
Did you ever accompany Maria
to her medical checkups?
628
00:34:38,409 --> 00:34:41,435
- No.
- This angel that was carrying your baby,
629
00:34:41,512 --> 00:34:43,446
you weren't interested
in how she was doing?
630
00:34:43,514 --> 00:34:46,039
- Of course I was.
- But you never went up...
631
00:34:46,117 --> 00:34:49,382
to Spanish Harlem to visit, to have
a cup of tea, to shoot the breeze?
632
00:34:49,454 --> 00:34:51,581
To be honest,
I didn't know where she lived.
633
00:34:51,656 --> 00:34:54,682
You never asked?
No.
634
00:34:54,759 --> 00:34:56,693
You said that you were aware
that surrogates...
635
00:34:56,761 --> 00:34:59,355
sometimes change their minds
about giving away their babies.
636
00:34:59,430 --> 00:35:01,295
Did you and your husband
have a plan "B,"
637
00:35:01,365 --> 00:35:04,027
you know, just in case
Maria slammed on the brakes?
638
00:35:04,102 --> 00:35:06,036
I guess we'd just find another one.
639
00:35:06,104 --> 00:35:08,299
Another what?
Womb.
640
00:35:10,408 --> 00:35:14,401
- Like a pizza oven?
- A pizza oven is a lot cheaper.
641
00:35:15,646 --> 00:35:18,615
This girl, we were paying her
$3,000 a month.
642
00:35:18,683 --> 00:35:21,151
That's on top ofher salary
from the company.
643
00:35:21,219 --> 00:35:25,155
Some people would say
what you're getting is priceless.
644
00:35:25,223 --> 00:35:28,192
What I'm paying for
is what I don't get.
645
00:35:28,259 --> 00:35:30,557
And that is?
Lower back pains,
646
00:35:30,628 --> 00:35:32,596
morning sickness
and stretch marks.
647
00:35:32,663 --> 00:35:35,461
Excuse me. I'm a little confused.
648
00:35:36,467 --> 00:35:41,029
Are you saying that you are
physically able to bear children?
649
00:35:42,106 --> 00:35:46,600
- I never said I couldn't have a baby.
- Whoa. Let me get this straight.
650
00:35:46,677 --> 00:35:50,670
Your husband is dead,
my client is on trial for his life...
651
00:35:50,748 --> 00:35:54,514
because you wanted
to maintain your figure?
652
00:36:06,631 --> 00:36:10,727
What the hell happened in there? Besides
our star witness ruining our case?
653
00:36:10,801 --> 00:36:13,793
Would it have been so hard for her
to act a little human on the stand?
654
00:36:13,871 --> 00:36:15,930
Well, she sure as hell did
before I prepped her.
655
00:36:16,007 --> 00:36:18,567
So, when should I
be expecting your call?
656
00:36:18,643 --> 00:36:20,804
About what?
Come on, Jack.
657
00:36:20,878 --> 00:36:23,904
After that show, my offer of man two
should be lookin' pretty damn good.
658
00:36:23,981 --> 00:36:28,543
Of course, you can keep talking, but unless
I hear magic words, I'm not listening.
659
00:36:28,619 --> 00:36:30,712
What magic words?
"Time served. "
660
00:36:30,788 --> 00:36:33,279
He killed a man. At least you
didn't say an innocent man.
661
00:36:33,357 --> 00:36:37,054
- Just because Mrs. Zachary...
- I, for one, am willing to wager...
662
00:36:37,128 --> 00:36:39,926
that jury now thinks
birds of a feather marry each other.
663
00:36:39,997 --> 00:36:41,988
She's despicable.
He's got to be just as bad.
664
00:36:42,066 --> 00:36:44,967
What do you say, Jack?
Time's up. You know me.
665
00:36:45,036 --> 00:36:47,903
I always love
swinging for the fences.
666
00:36:49,840 --> 00:36:52,809
I wanna know what happened between
the time you prepped Mrs. Zachary...
667
00:36:52,877 --> 00:36:55,402
and when I put her on the stand.
668
00:36:55,479 --> 00:36:59,245
She trapped me.
We prepped you for hours.
669
00:36:59,317 --> 00:37:01,808
We asked you every conceivable
question they could ask.
670
00:37:01,886 --> 00:37:03,820
I got nervous.
671
00:37:03,888 --> 00:37:07,756
Mrs. Zachary, this is the trial
of the man who killed your husband,
672
00:37:07,825 --> 00:37:10,623
the one person
you loved in the world,
673
00:37:10,695 --> 00:37:13,027
and you're saying
you just screwed it up?
674
00:37:13,097 --> 00:37:15,588
You have no idea
how much I loved him.
675
00:37:15,666 --> 00:37:17,600
Oh, my God.
676
00:37:17,668 --> 00:37:21,126
No, Jack, there are actually
two people in the world she loved.
677
00:37:21,205 --> 00:37:24,003
I've never been pregnant,
Mrs. Zachary,
678
00:37:24,075 --> 00:37:27,374
but I gotta tell you, I can't imagine
any woman, no matter how bitchy,
679
00:37:27,445 --> 00:37:31,814
avoiding the entire process
over something as trivial as stretch marks.
680
00:37:31,882 --> 00:37:35,443
If you haven't noticed,
I'm not any woman.
681
00:37:35,519 --> 00:37:39,853
Actually, I suspect you're not as different
as you'd have the world believe.
682
00:37:43,527 --> 00:37:45,552
You want a baby.
683
00:37:45,630 --> 00:37:48,724
You want one so badly
you'd do anything,
684
00:37:48,799 --> 00:37:52,826
even commit perjury to ensure an acquittal
for the man who killed your husband.
685
00:37:52,903 --> 00:37:56,634
That's crazy.
Miguel killed Arnie.
686
00:37:56,707 --> 00:37:58,834
It was all an act, Jack.
687
00:37:58,909 --> 00:38:03,039
Mrs. Zachary wanted thejury to hate her,
and therefore hate her husband.
688
00:38:03,114 --> 00:38:05,514
Miguel gets to walk.
You get to keep the baby.
689
00:38:05,583 --> 00:38:07,574
You had a deal from the beginning.
690
00:38:07,652 --> 00:38:11,019
Isn't that right, Mrs. Zachary?
Why do you care so damn much?
691
00:38:11,088 --> 00:38:13,488
Because your husband was murdered.
692
00:38:13,557 --> 00:38:16,287
And that baby
is all I have left ofhim.
693
00:38:18,162 --> 00:38:20,460
I have friends who
by their 26 birthday...
694
00:38:20,531 --> 00:38:23,022
were already on
their second husbands.
695
00:38:24,035 --> 00:38:28,267
Me... I've been through
three miscarriages.
696
00:38:29,473 --> 00:38:32,874
It's funny. I got into Smith College,
early decision.
697
00:38:32,943 --> 00:38:34,934
Do you know how difficult?
698
00:38:36,180 --> 00:38:39,946
I graduated magna cum laude and had
my master's degree before I was 21.
699
00:38:40,951 --> 00:38:43,351
I married the man of my dreams.
700
00:38:44,355 --> 00:38:46,289
We had everything.
701
00:38:46,357 --> 00:38:49,793
Friends, money,
702
00:38:49,860 --> 00:38:53,387
house in the Hamptons during
the summer, the condo in Aspen.
703
00:38:56,133 --> 00:38:58,328
I was the perfect person...
704
00:38:59,403 --> 00:39:02,133
with the perfect life.
705
00:39:02,206 --> 00:39:04,436
And everything was perfect,
706
00:39:05,443 --> 00:39:07,934
except for my imperfect uterus.
707
00:39:09,647 --> 00:39:14,050
I'd walk through Arnie's factory
and look down at all these women,
708
00:39:15,119 --> 00:39:20,318
gossiping about nonsense,
sewing buttons for $3 an hour...
709
00:39:20,391 --> 00:39:24,327
so they could go home
to their 12 kids, and I...
710
00:39:29,400 --> 00:39:31,732
I was this close to a baby.
711
00:39:34,271 --> 00:39:37,263
Did Miguel and Maria
try to extort money from you?
712
00:39:37,341 --> 00:39:40,868
All I know is Miguel left
a message on our machine.
713
00:39:42,980 --> 00:39:45,915
He wanted to see Arnie
alone at the office that night.
714
00:39:45,983 --> 00:39:48,850
Why didn't you tell
the police about this?
715
00:39:48,919 --> 00:39:52,616
He killed Arnie! I didn't know
what he would do to my baby!
716
00:39:57,495 --> 00:39:59,588
We have to talk.
Things have changed.
717
00:39:59,663 --> 00:40:03,429
I'll be in your office
in one hour. Be there.
718
00:40:03,501 --> 00:40:07,460
I'm sure you recognize this.
719
00:40:07,538 --> 00:40:10,939
- Where'd it come from?
- When Mr. Zachary didn't come home,
720
00:40:11,008 --> 00:40:14,307
his wife thought this
might come in handy someday.
721
00:40:14,378 --> 00:40:16,676
What?
To blackmail my client?
722
00:40:16,747 --> 00:40:19,409
Well, it takes one
to know one, Vanessa.
723
00:40:19,483 --> 00:40:21,849
It's obvious what's going on here.
724
00:40:21,919 --> 00:40:25,116
Maria and Miguel were trying
to hold up the Zacharys.
725
00:40:25,189 --> 00:40:28,681
She should be in the back
of a police car right about now.
726
00:40:31,962 --> 00:40:35,693
He said if Maria
help him with the baby,
727
00:40:35,766 --> 00:40:38,701
he help us, with the I.N.S.,
to stay here.
728
00:40:38,769 --> 00:40:40,703
She said she can do it.
729
00:40:40,771 --> 00:40:44,070
She think because the baby not hers,
it's not going to be hard.
730
00:40:44,141 --> 00:40:47,042
But after nine months,
731
00:40:47,111 --> 00:40:49,602
it was part of her.
732
00:40:49,680 --> 00:40:52,376
She couldn't just give it up.
733
00:40:52,450 --> 00:40:54,680
I love her, Mr. McCoy.
734
00:40:55,886 --> 00:40:59,947
I try to explain to Mr. Zachary,
but he got mad.
735
00:41:00,024 --> 00:41:04,688
He... He said...
He said to give the baby,
736
00:41:04,762 --> 00:41:07,287
or he's going to turn us in
to the I.N.S.,
737
00:41:07,364 --> 00:41:10,162
and they send us back to Mexico.
738
00:41:12,570 --> 00:41:14,561
Very persuasive, Miguel.
739
00:41:21,278 --> 00:41:23,644
Eloquent.
740
00:41:26,484 --> 00:41:28,418
It's time, Jack.
741
00:41:28,486 --> 00:41:30,886
You talk, I listen.
742
00:41:41,298 --> 00:41:44,734
He agreed to man one. He'll
do 15. Sounds generous.
743
00:41:44,802 --> 00:41:48,329
The day he gets out, he's
deported. What about his sidekick?
744
00:41:48,405 --> 00:41:53,035
It turns out Maria and her child were long
gone before the cops ever got to her apartment.
745
00:41:53,110 --> 00:41:55,078
My guess is back to El Chorro.
746
00:41:55,145 --> 00:41:59,775
Between mom and apple pie, I don't know
many women who would choose the latter.
