1
00:00:09,487 --> 00:00:11,533
In the criminal justice system,
2
00:00:11,533 --> 00:00:12,838
the people are represented
3
00:00:12,838 --> 00:00:15,319
by two separate, yet equally important groups:
4
00:00:15,319 --> 00:00:17,060
the police, who investigate crime,
5
00:00:17,060 --> 00:00:20,020
and the district attorneys, who prosecute the offenders.
6
00:00:20,020 --> 00:00:21,760
These are their stories.
7
00:00:54,967 --> 00:00:56,491
Celeste, wait up.
8
00:00:57,883 --> 00:00:59,233
What are you doing? You scared me half to death.
9
00:00:59,233 --> 00:01:02,366
I just want to talk to you.
10
00:01:02,366 --> 00:01:03,889
What the hell are you doing?
11
00:01:03,889 --> 00:01:05,717
Say you love me.
12
00:01:05,717 --> 00:01:06,892
- What? - Say it!
13
00:01:06,892 --> 00:01:08,633
Say you love me.
14
00:01:08,633 --> 00:01:11,593
OK, OK. Just let go, please.
15
00:01:13,986 --> 00:01:16,076
I love you.
16
00:01:16,076 --> 00:01:17,729
Say it again.
17
00:01:19,949 --> 00:01:22,343
I love you.
18
00:01:22,343 --> 00:01:23,953
Liar.
19
00:01:27,652 --> 00:01:30,655
Hey, Jalen.
20
00:01:30,655 --> 00:01:32,570
Sorry, man.
21
00:01:32,570 --> 00:01:34,311
I was up in Riverdale at my son's basketball game.
22
00:01:34,311 --> 00:01:36,052
The traffic was a nightmare.
23
00:01:36,052 --> 00:01:37,575
I think I got a bad taco or something.
24
00:01:37,575 --> 00:01:40,187
Ugh. Other than that, Mrs. Lincoln?
25
00:01:40,187 --> 00:01:42,841
Yeah, the play definitely sucked.
26
00:01:42,841 --> 00:01:43,886
How'd your son's team do?
27
00:01:43,886 --> 00:01:45,017
Oh, man. They got smoked.
28
00:01:45,017 --> 00:01:46,236
Spencer went 0 for 9.
29
00:01:46,236 --> 00:01:47,933
Can't all be Steph, huh?
30
00:01:47,933 --> 00:01:49,109
What do we got?
31
00:01:49,109 --> 00:01:51,415
Female, white, age 27.
32
00:01:51,415 --> 00:01:54,114
Appears to have been choked to death.
33
00:01:54,114 --> 00:01:55,593
Appears?
34
00:01:55,593 --> 00:01:57,334
You'll see.
35
00:01:58,205 --> 00:01:59,554
Any witnesses?
36
00:01:59,554 --> 00:02:01,773
One--saw a man running from the scene
37
00:02:01,773 --> 00:02:03,253
wearing a red jacket, then she saw
38
00:02:03,253 --> 00:02:05,255
the victim's body on the ground and she called 911.
39
00:02:05,255 --> 00:02:08,780
See anything else? Hair color, race?
40
00:02:08,780 --> 00:02:10,130
Mm-mm.
41
00:02:13,176 --> 00:02:15,135
Oh, my God.
42
00:02:17,006 --> 00:02:19,269
You weren't kidding, huh?
43
00:02:19,269 --> 00:02:21,663
This play just got a whole lot worse.
44
00:03:13,193 --> 00:03:14,846
Celeste was happy.
45
00:03:17,371 --> 00:03:20,722
She was working at a big wealth management firm on 7th Avenue.
46
00:03:20,722 --> 00:03:22,811
She loved it.
47
00:03:22,811 --> 00:03:25,422
She just got promoted to vice president.
48
00:03:25,422 --> 00:03:28,033
Was she dating anyone?
49
00:03:28,033 --> 00:03:30,558
I don't know.
50
00:03:30,558 --> 00:03:34,475
We didn't talk about her social life that much.
51
00:03:34,475 --> 00:03:35,998
Is there a reason for that?
52
00:03:38,479 --> 00:03:41,525
People her age...
53
00:03:41,525 --> 00:03:44,615
they see the world so differently.
54
00:03:44,615 --> 00:03:47,531
It was hard for me to relate.
55
00:03:49,751 --> 00:03:51,579
So we just--
56
00:03:54,408 --> 00:03:55,931
We didn't discuss her personal life.
57
00:03:55,931 --> 00:03:57,237
That's all.
58
00:04:04,722 --> 00:04:08,335
There are too many criminals out there.
59
00:04:08,335 --> 00:04:12,252
And they just keep getting more brazen
60
00:04:12,252 --> 00:04:14,863
because nobody cares.
61
00:04:14,863 --> 00:04:17,605
It's like you're giving these animals a free pass,
62
00:04:17,605 --> 00:04:20,956
telling them it's OK to rob someone.
63
00:04:20,956 --> 00:04:25,134
Or kill someone.
64
00:04:25,134 --> 00:04:28,833
Ma'am...
65
00:04:28,833 --> 00:04:31,314
I get it.
66
00:04:31,314 --> 00:04:33,882
We both do.
67
00:04:33,882 --> 00:04:38,321
And for what it's worth, the two of us actually do care.
68
00:04:38,321 --> 00:04:40,889
We do.
69
00:04:40,889 --> 00:04:42,282
I promise you,
70
00:04:42,282 --> 00:04:44,458
we will do everything in our power
71
00:04:44,458 --> 00:04:47,809
to find the person that hurt your daughter.
72
00:04:47,809 --> 00:04:50,594
You have my word.
73
00:04:50,594 --> 00:04:53,945
If you should remember anything else,
74
00:04:53,945 --> 00:04:55,817
we're here.
75
00:05:08,003 --> 00:05:11,311
So...
76
00:05:11,311 --> 00:05:13,617
how did she die?
77
00:05:13,617 --> 00:05:16,968
You never told me how she actually died.
78
00:05:20,972 --> 00:05:22,409
Just spoke to the ME.
79
00:05:22,409 --> 00:05:24,846
Cause of death was asphyxiation.
80
00:05:24,846 --> 00:05:26,978
I saw the crime scene photos.
81
00:05:26,978 --> 00:05:29,938
Looked like a lot more than just asphyxiation to me.
82
00:05:29,938 --> 00:05:34,943
Yeah. It was a violent end for sure.
83
00:05:34,943 --> 00:05:37,162
Broken hyoid bone,
84
00:05:37,162 --> 00:05:40,557
fractured cervical vertebra.
85
00:05:40,557 --> 00:05:42,907
Though I'd never seen a head in that position before.
86
00:05:42,907 --> 00:05:44,431
Takes a lot of hate and rage
87
00:05:44,431 --> 00:05:46,041
to do something like that.
88
00:05:46,041 --> 00:05:48,173
I just ran Celeste's texts and emails.
89
00:05:48,173 --> 00:05:51,960
It all looks pretty typical, except for one sent yesterday.
90
00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:54,179
Definitely filled with a lot of hate and rage.
91
00:06:00,403 --> 00:06:04,668
Our guy's got a pretty good résumé for a murder suspect.
92
00:06:04,668 --> 00:06:09,499
Harvard, Columbia, MBA, Goldman Sachs.
93
00:06:11,501 --> 00:06:13,503
- Hey. - Hey, hey, hey, hey.
94
00:06:13,503 --> 00:06:15,375
Stop! Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
95
00:06:15,375 --> 00:06:16,724
Don't hurt me. Please.
96
00:06:16,724 --> 00:06:18,116
I'll pay the money, I swear.
97
00:06:18,116 --> 00:06:20,380
Hey. Relax, Mason.
98
00:06:20,380 --> 00:06:21,990
We're not debt collectors.
99
00:06:23,426 --> 00:06:25,080
Let's start with some basics.
100
00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:27,082
When was the last time you saw Celeste?
101
00:06:27,082 --> 00:06:29,258
I don't know. Um...
102
00:06:29,258 --> 00:06:30,651
a week ago?
103
00:06:30,651 --> 00:06:33,044
- Oh. - All right.
104
00:06:33,044 --> 00:06:36,047
Well, that's you outside her apartment yesterday.
105
00:06:38,572 --> 00:06:39,703
And that's you, too,
106
00:06:39,703 --> 00:06:41,183
three blocks from the crime scene
107
00:06:41,183 --> 00:06:43,403
seven minutes after she was murdered.
108
00:06:43,403 --> 00:06:45,883
Wait, she's--
109
00:06:45,883 --> 00:06:46,971
she's dead?
110
00:06:46,971 --> 00:06:49,278
You're serious?
111
00:06:49,278 --> 00:06:51,454
I loved Celeste.
112
00:06:51,454 --> 00:06:52,542
Is that why you were stalking her?
113
00:06:52,542 --> 00:06:54,326
No. I wasn't stalking her.
114
00:06:54,326 --> 00:06:56,067
I can get a bit obsessive,
115
00:06:56,067 --> 00:06:57,765
but she wasn't returning my texts.
116
00:06:57,765 --> 00:06:59,462
People don't just stop returning texts.
117
00:06:59,462 --> 00:07:01,508
I would never hurt Celeste!
118
00:07:01,508 --> 00:07:02,987
Never.
119
00:07:02,987 --> 00:07:04,249
Even so, we're gonna take a little ride
120
00:07:04,249 --> 00:07:05,773
down to the precinct, OK?
121
00:07:07,775 --> 00:07:10,081
This guy looks good for it, Lou.
122
00:07:10,081 --> 00:07:12,214
He already admitted to being jealous and obsessive.
123
00:07:12,214 --> 00:07:13,650
Plus, we got video of him
124
00:07:13,650 --> 00:07:17,698
three blocks from the scene minutes after the murder.
125
00:07:17,698 --> 00:07:21,353
An obsessive ex-boyfriend on a downward spiral.
126
00:07:21,353 --> 00:07:22,833
Tale as old as time, right?
127
00:07:22,833 --> 00:07:24,792
And one that never ends well.
128
00:07:24,792 --> 00:07:27,229
Hey, um, I've been doing some research,
129
00:07:27,229 --> 00:07:29,840
and it turns out that three other women in New York
130
00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:31,189
were killed the exact same way
131
00:07:31,189 --> 00:07:33,496
as Celeste all in the past three years.
132
00:07:33,496 --> 00:07:35,672
Suffocation, broken hyoid bone,
133
00:07:35,672 --> 00:07:37,544
and fractured cervical vertebra.
134
00:07:37,544 --> 00:07:40,111
That is a very specific way to kill someone.
135
00:07:42,940 --> 00:07:45,377
Hey, Lou. I dug up the files.
136
00:07:45,377 --> 00:07:46,814
Theresa Potter, 24, Black.
137
00:07:46,814 --> 00:07:48,380
Last known address, Red Hook, Brooklyn.
138
00:07:48,380 --> 00:07:50,165
One prior arrest, larceny.
139
00:07:50,165 --> 00:07:52,820
Was reported missing August 22, '23.
140
00:07:52,820 --> 00:07:55,997
Body was found this year, October 27th.
141
00:07:57,520 --> 00:08:00,523
And we have Angela Rice, 21, Black.
142
00:08:00,523 --> 00:08:02,786
Last known address, Weeksville, Brooklyn.
143
00:08:02,786 --> 00:08:04,788
Two prior arrests for drug possession,
144
00:08:04,788 --> 00:08:07,356
was reported missing on November 11, '21.
145
00:08:07,356 --> 00:08:11,142
Body was found April 3, '22.
146
00:08:11,142 --> 00:08:16,234
And then we have Olivia Washington, 22, Black.
147
00:08:16,234 --> 00:08:17,540
Last known address, Clinton--
148
00:08:17,540 --> 00:08:19,542
Clinton Hill, Brooklyn.
149
00:08:19,542 --> 00:08:21,631
Right?
150
00:08:21,631 --> 00:08:23,938
Three priors for possession.
151
00:08:23,938 --> 00:08:26,375
Went missing early May 2020.
152
00:08:29,117 --> 00:08:31,598
That was my case.
153
00:08:31,598 --> 00:08:34,035
I was lead on that.
154
00:08:34,035 --> 00:08:35,819
We couldn't find anything. We had no body, no evidence.
155
00:08:35,819 --> 00:08:37,212
The thing just went cold.
156
00:08:37,212 --> 00:08:38,953
Not quite.
157
00:08:38,953 --> 00:08:42,304
February 11, 2021, somebody found her
158
00:08:42,304 --> 00:08:46,177
buried in an industrial park in Long Island City.
159
00:08:49,398 --> 00:08:51,661
I didn't know.
160
00:08:51,661 --> 00:08:53,315
I was transferred out of the 3-4 in November.
161
00:08:53,315 --> 00:08:54,795
That case got reassigned.
162
00:08:54,795 --> 00:08:57,841
So three Black women died the same way Celeste did?
163
00:08:57,841 --> 00:09:00,801
Strangled, broken hyoid bones,
164
00:09:00,801 --> 00:09:03,194
and fractured cervical vertebrae?
165
00:09:03,194 --> 00:09:04,544
Yeah.
166
00:09:04,544 --> 00:09:06,502
And that would be quite the coincidence, huh?
167
00:09:07,851 --> 00:09:10,071
There's no such thing. Not in this business.
168
00:09:10,071 --> 00:09:11,812
Celeste doesn't exactly fit the same profile
169
00:09:11,812 --> 00:09:13,378
as the other vics. - Yeah.
170
00:09:13,378 --> 00:09:16,207
Well, maybe he wanted something more exotic.
171
00:09:16,207 --> 00:09:17,731
Wouldn't have been the first serial killer
172
00:09:17,731 --> 00:09:20,037
who changed lanes.
173
00:09:20,037 --> 00:09:22,953
Look, I need you guys to go back in there
174
00:09:22,953 --> 00:09:25,042
and try to find a connection
175
00:09:25,042 --> 00:09:28,437
between Mason and these three victims, OK?
176
00:09:28,437 --> 00:09:30,265
Done.
177
00:09:30,265 --> 00:09:32,136
Oh, hold up.
178
00:09:32,136 --> 00:09:34,486
Hold up.
179
00:09:34,486 --> 00:09:37,489
The DNA under Celeste's nails just came back.
180
00:09:38,926 --> 00:09:39,753
No match.
181
00:09:39,753 --> 00:09:41,406
But based on the markers,
182
00:09:41,406 --> 00:09:43,365
there's a 99.8% chance
183
00:09:43,365 --> 00:09:48,457
it belongs to a white male with blue eyes.
184
00:09:48,457 --> 00:09:50,807
So we're good? You believe me?
185
00:09:50,807 --> 00:09:52,374
Yeah, we do.
186
00:09:52,374 --> 00:09:55,333
OK, cool. Can I go now?
187
00:09:55,333 --> 00:09:57,031
Yeah, but first, I just want to ask you a few more questions
188
00:09:57,031 --> 00:09:58,598
about Celeste, if that's OK.
189
00:09:58,598 --> 00:10:00,251
Sure. Anything to help.
190
00:10:00,251 --> 00:10:02,427
Now, I know she worked in finance.
191
00:10:02,427 --> 00:10:03,951
Um...
192
00:10:03,951 --> 00:10:06,301
just to be blunt, was she also a sex worker?
193
00:10:07,650 --> 00:10:08,651
Like--like an escort?
194
00:10:08,651 --> 00:10:09,652
Vince.
195
00:10:09,652 --> 00:10:11,045
Let him answer.
196
00:10:14,091 --> 00:10:16,659
No. She wasn't an escort.
197
00:10:16,659 --> 00:10:19,183
She work as an exotic dancer?
198
00:10:19,183 --> 00:10:21,577
She go to swingers parties, sex clubs, that kind of thing?
199
00:10:21,577 --> 00:10:22,578
Vince, let me holler at you.
200
00:10:22,578 --> 00:10:24,580
No, no, no. It's OK.
201
00:10:24,580 --> 00:10:26,190
He's right.
202
00:10:26,190 --> 00:10:28,758
Celeste was definitely into the whole sex club scene.
203
00:10:28,758 --> 00:10:30,891
But she wasn't a sex worker.
204
00:10:30,891 --> 00:10:33,937
There was no money involved or anything like that.
205
00:10:33,937 --> 00:10:35,983
You know the names of the clubs she liked to go to?
206
00:10:42,816 --> 00:10:44,774
Look, obviously, I didn't know
207
00:10:44,774 --> 00:10:46,471
Olivia Washington was a sex worker.
208
00:10:46,471 --> 00:10:49,518
I missed that in the case file.
209
00:10:49,518 --> 00:10:53,609
I just thought, you know-- - I was fishing for gossip?
210
00:10:53,609 --> 00:10:55,393
So Olivia's case just went cold?
211
00:10:55,393 --> 00:10:58,570
Yeah, no body, no witnesses.
212
00:10:58,570 --> 00:11:00,747
I think it's strange nobody found anything.
213
00:11:00,747 --> 00:11:04,359
- Yeah? - Yeah.
214
00:11:04,359 --> 00:11:06,491
You've been working Homicide a few years, right?
215
00:11:06,491 --> 00:11:08,189
Two.
216
00:11:08,189 --> 00:11:10,191
So you know it's not that strange with a case like that?
217
00:11:10,191 --> 00:11:11,279
Like that, huh?
218
00:11:11,279 --> 00:11:12,628
A missing person case.
219
00:11:12,628 --> 00:11:15,979
Look, you want to say something?
220
00:11:15,979 --> 00:11:17,633
I'm saying it, bro.
221
00:11:17,633 --> 00:11:18,852
Which is what?
222
00:11:18,852 --> 00:11:20,375
Which is that poor Black girls don't get
223
00:11:20,375 --> 00:11:21,550
the same kind of love that rich white girls get.
224
00:11:21,550 --> 00:11:24,205
You know that. That's how it is.
225
00:11:24,205 --> 00:11:26,773
Hey, man, maybe that is how it is.
226
00:11:26,773 --> 00:11:29,993
But that is not how it is with me.
227
00:11:29,993 --> 00:11:31,516
All right?
228
00:11:31,516 --> 00:11:34,955
I worked that case hard, the same way I work every case.
229
00:11:38,872 --> 00:11:40,395
Good to know.
230
00:11:45,748 --> 00:11:47,837
Thank you for taking the time to talk to us, Ms. Horn.
231
00:11:47,837 --> 00:11:49,099
Of course.
232
00:11:49,099 --> 00:11:50,405
I was literally just reading about
233
00:11:50,405 --> 00:11:52,189
that poor woman in the "Post."
234
00:11:52,189 --> 00:11:53,974
I didn't recognize her from the photo,
235
00:11:53,974 --> 00:11:55,758
but if you say she was here...
236
00:11:55,758 --> 00:11:58,543
Well, here's another photo. Maybe it'll jog your memory.
237
00:12:00,807 --> 00:12:04,506
On a busy night, we have over 200 guests.
238
00:12:04,506 --> 00:12:06,421
Tough to keep track.
239
00:12:06,421 --> 00:12:08,031
You guys probably keep records though, right?
240
00:12:08,031 --> 00:12:09,511
Of course.
241
00:12:09,511 --> 00:12:10,860
Can you run the name Celeste Clark?
242
00:12:10,860 --> 00:12:14,124
Sorry, we don't reveal our guests' names.
243
00:12:14,124 --> 00:12:16,997
That's why they come here. Because they feel safe.
244
00:12:16,997 --> 00:12:18,999
They know that they can express themselves
245
00:12:18,999 --> 00:12:21,349
free of judgment and scrutiny.
246
00:12:21,349 --> 00:12:24,178
Nothing's more important than that.
247
00:12:24,178 --> 00:12:25,396
Except murder.
248
00:12:28,312 --> 00:12:30,619
- What's this? - Subpoena.
249
00:12:30,619 --> 00:12:32,795
Compelling you to hand over all business records,
250
00:12:32,795 --> 00:12:34,362
surveillance video,
251
00:12:34,362 --> 00:12:36,581
and receipts from the last two weeks.
252
00:12:45,025 --> 00:12:48,811
You see, I knew places like this existed, but I--
253
00:12:49,812 --> 00:12:50,682
But what?
254
00:12:50,682 --> 00:12:52,206
I just can't process it.
255
00:12:52,206 --> 00:12:53,555
I mean, I know some wild people.
256
00:12:53,555 --> 00:12:54,991
I'm a fun guy, but I don't think
257
00:12:54,991 --> 00:12:56,210
I've ever met anybody who would actually
258
00:12:56,210 --> 00:12:57,254
go to a place like this.
259
00:12:57,254 --> 00:12:59,430
That might not be true.
260
00:13:01,084 --> 00:13:04,653
Well, you learn something new every day, huh?
261
00:13:06,176 --> 00:13:09,658
Oh, hey. I think this is her.
262
00:13:09,658 --> 00:13:11,399
Sure is.
263
00:13:11,399 --> 00:13:13,270
And she's wearing a necklace there,
264
00:13:13,270 --> 00:13:16,186
but we didn't find one on the body.
265
00:13:16,186 --> 00:13:21,844
She's talking to this white dude and then she leaves.
266
00:13:21,844 --> 00:13:25,587
And he follows her out 41 seconds later.
267
00:13:25,587 --> 00:13:28,242
Let me see if I can get a clean angle on the face.
268
00:13:35,205 --> 00:13:36,685
All right.
269
00:13:36,685 --> 00:13:38,426
I'll send it to the Facial Identification Section.
270
00:13:38,426 --> 00:13:40,471
Good work. As usual.
271
00:13:43,039 --> 00:13:44,562
Bruce is a good man.
272
00:13:44,562 --> 00:13:46,913
Runs one of the top investment firms in the city,
273
00:13:46,913 --> 00:13:48,436
went to Stanford.
274
00:13:48,436 --> 00:13:49,872
Very impressive.
275
00:13:49,872 --> 00:13:51,613
Yet he treats people with respect,
276
00:13:51,613 --> 00:13:54,616
which is even more impressive, if you ask me.
277
00:13:54,616 --> 00:13:57,880
Most people like him don't give you the time of day.
278
00:13:57,880 --> 00:14:00,448
That's great. Is he upstairs in his condo?
279
00:14:00,448 --> 00:14:02,145
Not sure. I just clocked in.
280
00:14:02,145 --> 00:14:04,495
But I'll call up. - Thank you.
281
00:14:09,544 --> 00:14:11,546
He's not picking up.
282
00:14:11,546 --> 00:14:13,853
Mind if we take a look at your surveillance video?
283
00:14:13,853 --> 00:14:15,767
We just want to see what time he came in last night.
284
00:14:15,767 --> 00:14:18,292
I think he got back around 11:00.
285
00:14:25,908 --> 00:14:28,389
- Freeze there. - There he is.
286
00:14:28,389 --> 00:14:30,260
I was close. 11:17.
287
00:14:30,260 --> 00:14:31,609
Check out that jacket.
288
00:14:31,609 --> 00:14:32,828
That's enough for a search warrant, right?
289
00:14:32,828 --> 00:14:33,960
Sure is.
290
00:14:36,136 --> 00:14:37,920
NYPD.
291
00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:39,400
Bruce Elliot!
292
00:14:41,924 --> 00:14:44,187
NYPD.
293
00:14:48,496 --> 00:14:50,280
No, stop.
294
00:14:52,979 --> 00:14:54,371
Oh, my God, please.
295
00:14:57,461 --> 00:14:59,724
NYPD.
296
00:14:59,724 --> 00:15:01,509
What's going on? Who are you?
297
00:15:01,509 --> 00:15:03,554
- Police. Where's Bruce Elliot? - He just went to the bank.
298
00:15:03,554 --> 00:15:05,382
- Who are you? - His friend.
299
00:15:05,382 --> 00:15:06,644
- His friend? - Yes.
300
00:15:06,644 --> 00:15:07,819
All right, friend, time to go.
301
00:15:07,819 --> 00:15:09,169
Get your stuff. Let's go. Come on. Here.
302
00:15:09,169 --> 00:15:11,214
- OK. - Come on, let's go.
303
00:15:11,214 --> 00:15:12,999
What's going on?
304
00:15:17,003 --> 00:15:19,527
Yo, Vince.
305
00:15:19,527 --> 00:15:21,964
Think I found something.
306
00:15:28,057 --> 00:15:30,407
Oh, man, we got him.
307
00:15:30,407 --> 00:15:32,018
Now we just got to find him.
308
00:15:39,199 --> 00:15:41,244
Hey, so the surveillance camera had a clean angle.
309
00:15:41,244 --> 00:15:43,116
Elliot made a withdrawal from that ATM
310
00:15:43,116 --> 00:15:46,075
exactly seven minutes ago, started heading south.
311
00:15:46,075 --> 00:15:47,555
So I say if he's moving, say, a block a minute, right?
312
00:15:47,555 --> 00:15:49,078
That's seven blocks, maybe eight
313
00:15:49,078 --> 00:15:50,471
if he's moving faster than usual.
314
00:15:50,471 --> 00:15:51,951
I say we move the canvass south to Franklin.
315
00:15:51,951 --> 00:15:53,387
I like how you're thinking.
316
00:15:53,387 --> 00:15:54,866
But there are three subway stations
317
00:15:54,866 --> 00:15:56,216
within a ten-block radius here.
318
00:15:56,216 --> 00:15:57,478
This bastard could be anywhere by now.
319
00:15:57,478 --> 00:15:58,653
Yeah, Yee ran his credit cards, man.
320
00:15:58,653 --> 00:16:00,133
He doesn't have a Metro app or a card.
321
00:16:00,133 --> 00:16:01,917
Not necessarily. That doesn't mean--
322
00:16:01,917 --> 00:16:03,745
He's a rich prick who doesn't take the subway, OK?
323
00:16:03,745 --> 00:16:06,008
There's no way he's gonna change his habits now.
324
00:16:06,008 --> 00:16:07,705
He's walking, man, somewhere.
325
00:16:07,705 --> 00:16:09,316
- Call it in. - Yeah.
326
00:16:26,724 --> 00:16:28,639
Hey, Vince.
327
00:16:28,639 --> 00:16:30,424
That's our boy.
328
00:16:30,424 --> 00:16:32,904
We got Elliot moving south on Greenwich.
329
00:16:32,904 --> 00:16:35,037
NYPD!
330
00:16:36,299 --> 00:16:37,474
Hey, hey, hey!
331
00:16:37,474 --> 00:16:38,780
Whoa, whoa.
332
00:16:44,916 --> 00:16:47,049
Out of the way!
333
00:16:50,792 --> 00:16:52,359
- Hey, hey, hey! - Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!
334
00:16:52,359 --> 00:16:54,013
- On the ground! On the ground! - Stop right there!
335
00:16:54,013 --> 00:16:55,710
Stay back! Stay back!
336
00:16:55,710 --> 00:16:57,538
- No, don't do it! Don't do it! - Hear me? Stay back!
337
00:16:57,538 --> 00:16:58,843
- No, no, no, no. - No, no, no, no.
338
00:16:58,843 --> 00:17:01,759
Don't do it! Don't do it!
339
00:17:01,759 --> 00:17:05,067
Don't. Don't!
340
00:17:05,067 --> 00:17:06,199
I'll call for a negotiator.
341
00:17:06,199 --> 00:17:07,417
No, man. We don't have time for that.
342
00:17:07,417 --> 00:17:08,853
Wait, what are you doing?
343
00:17:08,853 --> 00:17:09,985
Hey, I'm gonna go in and I'm gonna talk to him.
344
00:17:09,985 --> 00:17:11,117
That's a bad idea.
345
00:17:11,117 --> 00:17:12,466
He's desperate, he's armed,
346
00:17:12,466 --> 00:17:13,858
and there's too many people inside.
347
00:17:13,858 --> 00:17:15,904
Which is why it's a bad idea. Look, look, look.
348
00:17:15,904 --> 00:17:18,602
I know why you're doing this. You don't have to.
349
00:17:18,602 --> 00:17:20,822
I'm gonna go in.
350
00:17:22,911 --> 00:17:25,653
We're going in there.
351
00:17:30,527 --> 00:17:31,702
Bruce!
352
00:17:33,400 --> 00:17:36,185
NYPD. Hit the exit. Move, move, move, move.
353
00:17:36,185 --> 00:17:37,665
Exit. Go, go, go, go.
354
00:17:37,665 --> 00:17:40,233
Everybody, everybody, hit the exit.
355
00:17:40,233 --> 00:17:42,322
Bruce, this is Detective Vincent Riley.
356
00:17:42,322 --> 00:17:45,673
Stay back, or I'll shoot this bitch!
357
00:17:45,673 --> 00:17:47,979
All right, listen, Bruce, you got to let her go, man.
358
00:17:47,979 --> 00:17:50,504
You don't want to make this any worse than it already is.
359
00:17:50,504 --> 00:17:53,855
Get me a car now, or I swear to God, I'll shoot her!
360
00:17:53,855 --> 00:17:55,030
I'm gonna work on that,
361
00:17:55,030 --> 00:17:56,118
but the best thing that you can do
362
00:17:56,118 --> 00:17:57,815
to make that happen is to let her go.
363
00:17:57,815 --> 00:18:00,775
She's not going anywhere! Not till I get the car!
364
00:18:00,775 --> 00:18:03,517
OK, how about this, Bruce?
365
00:18:03,517 --> 00:18:06,389
How about you exchange her for me, OK? All right?
366
00:18:06,389 --> 00:18:07,477
I'm worth a lot more than she is, right?
367
00:18:07,477 --> 00:18:09,131
I'm a cop. She's a civilian.
368
00:18:09,131 --> 00:18:10,263
- Stop walking! - All right, all right.
369
00:18:10,263 --> 00:18:12,047
- Now! - OK. All right. I've stopped.
370
00:18:12,047 --> 00:18:14,049
We are gonna work this out.
371
00:18:14,049 --> 00:18:15,746
I promise you.
372
00:18:15,746 --> 00:18:19,359
You and me, OK?
373
00:18:19,359 --> 00:18:22,884
Now, please, let her go.
374
00:18:22,884 --> 00:18:26,540
Come on. Let her go.
375
00:18:26,540 --> 00:18:29,804
You need to let her go, Bruce.
376
00:18:29,804 --> 00:18:31,153
OK, you, come here.
377
00:18:31,153 --> 00:18:32,546
- OK, OK, OK. - Now. Now!
378
00:18:32,546 --> 00:18:34,896
OK. OK. I'm coming. I'm coming, all right?
379
00:18:34,896 --> 00:18:37,072
I'm taking it slow, and we're staying calm.
380
00:18:37,072 --> 00:18:40,206
We're gonna work this out. All right?
381
00:18:40,206 --> 00:18:42,773
'Cause the guys outside, they get anxious.
382
00:18:42,773 --> 00:18:45,080
They don't want to hear a gunshot.
383
00:18:49,171 --> 00:18:50,607
Bruce Elliot, you're under arrest
384
00:18:50,607 --> 00:18:52,174
for the murder of Celeste Clark.
385
00:18:57,745 --> 00:18:59,181
Next case.
386
00:19:01,314 --> 00:19:04,143
Calling docket ending in 9612.
387
00:19:04,143 --> 00:19:07,537
People versus Bruce Elliot, murder in the second degree.
388
00:19:07,537 --> 00:19:09,452
Your Honor, we plead not guilty.
389
00:19:09,452 --> 00:19:11,585
Ms. Maroun, I'll hear you on bail.
390
00:19:11,585 --> 00:19:13,717
People seek remand, Your Honor.
391
00:19:13,717 --> 00:19:17,068
The defendant's DNA was found under the victim's fingernails.
392
00:19:17,068 --> 00:19:18,592
And the necklace she was wearing
393
00:19:18,592 --> 00:19:21,334
on the night of the murder was found inside his condo.
394
00:19:21,334 --> 00:19:23,466
The defendant also took a woman hostage,
395
00:19:23,466 --> 00:19:25,076
held a gun to her head.
396
00:19:25,076 --> 00:19:27,644
We'll be adding kidnapping charges later on today.
397
00:19:27,644 --> 00:19:30,256
It's also important to note that the defendant
398
00:19:30,256 --> 00:19:33,215
is a suspect in three other homicides.
399
00:19:33,215 --> 00:19:35,086
Given the severity of the charges
400
00:19:35,086 --> 00:19:36,610
and the defendant's financial means,
401
00:19:36,610 --> 00:19:38,873
he is definitely a flight risk.
402
00:19:38,873 --> 00:19:41,963
Your Honor, my client has no prior arrests,
403
00:19:41,963 --> 00:19:43,269
and he is an upstanding
404
00:19:43,269 --> 00:19:45,009
and philanthropic member of the community.
405
00:19:45,009 --> 00:19:46,881
Moreover, the evidence is weak.
406
00:19:46,881 --> 00:19:49,231
This is a witch hunt designed to generate headlines--
407
00:19:49,231 --> 00:19:50,798
Defendant is remanded.
408
00:19:50,798 --> 00:19:52,016
Your Honor, my client is willing to post
409
00:19:52,016 --> 00:19:53,540
a $5 million bond.
410
00:19:53,540 --> 00:19:56,847
You can post a $5 billion bond, it won't matter.
411
00:19:56,847 --> 00:19:58,414
This is about safety.
412
00:19:58,414 --> 00:19:59,937
Next case.
413
00:20:07,293 --> 00:20:10,034
Excuse me. Sir?
414
00:20:10,034 --> 00:20:12,776
How come you're only charging this man with one murder?
415
00:20:12,776 --> 00:20:14,691
Paper said he killed three other girls.
416
00:20:14,691 --> 00:20:16,302
Why not charge him with those murders too?
417
00:20:16,302 --> 00:20:17,781
There isn't enough evidence.
418
00:20:17,781 --> 00:20:19,479
But the police are still investigating.
419
00:20:19,479 --> 00:20:22,264
If you will please excuse us? - No!
420
00:20:22,264 --> 00:20:24,266
You don't get to walk off
421
00:20:24,266 --> 00:20:27,095
and pretend those other girls didn't exist.
422
00:20:27,095 --> 00:20:29,880
That my Theresa didn't exist!
423
00:20:29,880 --> 00:20:31,665
Sir.
424
00:20:31,665 --> 00:20:33,841
Of course, your daughter existed.
425
00:20:33,841 --> 00:20:36,844
But all we're saying is, we don't have enough evidence
426
00:20:36,844 --> 00:20:39,325
to move forward on those three cases at the moment.
427
00:20:39,325 --> 00:20:42,806
And why is that?
428
00:20:42,806 --> 00:20:44,504
You'll have to talk to the police.
429
00:20:44,504 --> 00:20:45,679
And they'll tell me
430
00:20:45,679 --> 00:20:48,682
the same nonsense they've been telling me.
431
00:20:48,682 --> 00:20:52,903
Just admit that y'all don't care about poor Black people.
432
00:20:52,903 --> 00:20:54,557
'Cause if you did,
433
00:20:54,557 --> 00:20:56,646
you'd already have all that damn evidence
434
00:20:56,646 --> 00:20:59,214
you keep telling me you need.
435
00:21:11,705 --> 00:21:14,185
If there's no evidence, there's not much to discuss.
436
00:21:14,185 --> 00:21:15,622
No, there's evidence.
437
00:21:15,622 --> 00:21:17,145
Is there any that actually
438
00:21:17,145 --> 00:21:19,713
ties Bruce Elliot to these three other victims
439
00:21:19,713 --> 00:21:22,150
besides the manner in which they were killed?
440
00:21:22,150 --> 00:21:24,892
He sent a few vague texts to a phone registered
441
00:21:24,892 --> 00:21:26,285
in the name of victim three.
442
00:21:26,285 --> 00:21:28,243
There's a statement from a friend of victim two
443
00:21:28,243 --> 00:21:30,332
saying he bought her drinks the night she disappeared.
444
00:21:30,332 --> 00:21:32,160
And there's surveillance video
445
00:21:32,160 --> 00:21:34,162
of Elliot's Range Rover three blocks
446
00:21:34,162 --> 00:21:37,557
from the industrial park where victim one's body was found.
447
00:21:37,557 --> 00:21:39,298
Smoke, no fire.
448
00:21:39,298 --> 00:21:41,865
I suppose, but the police also found jewelry
449
00:21:41,865 --> 00:21:44,825
in Elliot's condo, trophies.
450
00:21:44,825 --> 00:21:46,043
One of the pieces belonged to Celeste
451
00:21:46,043 --> 00:21:48,350
and the other three presumably belonged
452
00:21:48,350 --> 00:21:49,656
to the other three victims.
453
00:21:49,656 --> 00:21:51,005
Police have been trying to find
454
00:21:51,005 --> 00:21:52,398
evidence to support that assertion,
455
00:21:52,398 --> 00:21:54,835
but so far, no luck.
456
00:21:54,835 --> 00:21:57,664
These women didn't have much of a social footprint.
457
00:21:57,664 --> 00:22:01,058
The odds of success here are remote.
458
00:22:01,058 --> 00:22:03,104
We can try to push back the start date,
459
00:22:03,104 --> 00:22:07,064
find more evidence, and try all four cases together.
460
00:22:07,064 --> 00:22:09,153
It'll give the families of the other three victims
461
00:22:09,153 --> 00:22:13,854
a more thorough sense of justice and closure.
462
00:22:13,854 --> 00:22:15,638
It will definitely show the jury
463
00:22:15,638 --> 00:22:18,249
what kind of person Mr. Elliot is,
464
00:22:18,249 --> 00:22:20,774
assuming the police can eventually
465
00:22:20,774 --> 00:22:22,384
find enough evidence.
466
00:22:22,384 --> 00:22:26,954
The Celeste Clark case is much stronger than the others.
467
00:22:26,954 --> 00:22:30,392
We're dealing with a different type of victim here too.
468
00:22:30,392 --> 00:22:32,568
Joining the three other cases will muddy the waters.
469
00:22:32,568 --> 00:22:34,091
It will enable the defense
470
00:22:34,091 --> 00:22:37,051
to focus on their drug use, their prior arrests,
471
00:22:37,051 --> 00:22:39,227
the fact that they were sex workers.
472
00:22:39,227 --> 00:22:41,577
I'm not sure that's fair to the other families.
473
00:22:44,798 --> 00:22:47,061
If you're certain we can nail this monster
474
00:22:47,061 --> 00:22:50,760
for Celeste Clark's murder, then do it.
475
00:22:50,760 --> 00:22:53,807
Let's not complicate matters.
476
00:22:53,807 --> 00:22:55,417
It might not be fair, Ms. Maroun,
477
00:22:55,417 --> 00:22:57,593
but it's the right move.
478
00:23:01,292 --> 00:23:04,034
Ms. Horn, have you had an opportunity
479
00:23:04,034 --> 00:23:06,820
to review the footage recorded by surveillance cameras
480
00:23:06,820 --> 00:23:08,952
located inside your club
481
00:23:08,952 --> 00:23:10,998
from the night Celeste Clark was murdered?
482
00:23:10,998 --> 00:23:12,086
Yes.
483
00:23:12,086 --> 00:23:13,217
When you reviewed this footage,
484
00:23:13,217 --> 00:23:14,915
did you see Celeste Clark
485
00:23:14,915 --> 00:23:18,048
and the defendant together that night?
486
00:23:18,048 --> 00:23:21,269
Yes. I found video of them talking to one another.
487
00:23:22,966 --> 00:23:25,404
- How long did they talk? - About a minute.
488
00:23:25,404 --> 00:23:27,667
Did it appear that they were involved
489
00:23:27,667 --> 00:23:29,799
romantically or sexually?
490
00:23:29,799 --> 00:23:32,106
No. They were just talking.
491
00:23:32,106 --> 00:23:34,456
What happened after their brief chat?
492
00:23:34,456 --> 00:23:36,763
- Celeste left. - What about the defendant?
493
00:23:36,763 --> 00:23:39,766
He left 41 seconds later.
494
00:23:39,766 --> 00:23:42,159
Nothing further.
495
00:23:43,204 --> 00:23:47,556
Ms. Horn, the club you manage provides a forum for...
496
00:23:47,556 --> 00:23:49,776
"adults to engage in
497
00:23:49,776 --> 00:23:53,083
adventurous and unconstrained sexual activity."
498
00:23:53,083 --> 00:23:54,433
Correct.
499
00:23:54,433 --> 00:23:58,045
And this is a bondage room?
500
00:23:58,045 --> 00:23:59,046
Yes.
501
00:23:59,046 --> 00:24:00,743
"A comfortable and clean dungeon
502
00:24:00,743 --> 00:24:02,745
where the choking and whipping of"--
503
00:24:02,745 --> 00:24:04,268
Objection. Relevance.
504
00:24:08,969 --> 00:24:11,275
Ms. Stanley, where are you going with all this?
505
00:24:11,275 --> 00:24:13,321
The victim was choked to death
506
00:24:13,321 --> 00:24:16,803
30 minutes after leaving a club that celebrates BDSM,
507
00:24:16,803 --> 00:24:20,328
a fetish that oftentimes involves choking.
508
00:24:20,328 --> 00:24:23,026
Every single person in that club or any other sex club
509
00:24:23,026 --> 00:24:26,552
she ever visited is a potential suspect.
510
00:24:26,552 --> 00:24:28,162
That's preposterous.
511
00:24:28,162 --> 00:24:30,512
There is no evidence that Celeste enjoyed
512
00:24:30,512 --> 00:24:33,602
or participated in any type of sexual activity
513
00:24:33,602 --> 00:24:34,734
that involved choking.
514
00:24:34,734 --> 00:24:36,387
More importantly,
515
00:24:36,387 --> 00:24:39,695
whether she did or didn't enjoy that type of sexual behavior
516
00:24:39,695 --> 00:24:42,045
is irrelevant to whether Bruce Elliot killed her.
517
00:24:42,045 --> 00:24:43,612
Not so sure about that.
518
00:24:43,612 --> 00:24:45,179
Your Honor.
519
00:24:45,179 --> 00:24:47,355
Her lifestyle exposed her to a certain level of risk.
520
00:24:47,355 --> 00:24:50,706
That's fair game to explore. It's admissible.
521
00:24:52,099 --> 00:24:54,667
So back off, Mr. Price.
522
00:24:56,233 --> 00:24:58,584
Please continue.
523
00:24:58,584 --> 00:25:02,239
Your club offers a clean and comfortable dungeon
524
00:25:02,239 --> 00:25:04,677
where the choking and whipping of submissives
525
00:25:04,677 --> 00:25:06,635
takes place, correct?
526
00:25:06,635 --> 00:25:07,680
Yes.
527
00:25:07,680 --> 00:25:08,855
There's also a cuckold room
528
00:25:08,855 --> 00:25:10,857
where patrons watch their partners
529
00:25:10,857 --> 00:25:12,989
have sex with strangers.
530
00:25:12,989 --> 00:25:16,210
And you said you saw Celeste Clark and my client
531
00:25:16,210 --> 00:25:18,865
talking to one another inside the club that evening.
532
00:25:18,865 --> 00:25:20,910
Yes, on the surveillance video.
533
00:25:20,910 --> 00:25:22,564
Surveillance video inside a club
534
00:25:22,564 --> 00:25:25,698
where many patrons were having sex.
535
00:25:25,698 --> 00:25:28,222
Some. I'm not sure how many.
536
00:25:28,222 --> 00:25:30,137
You don't have video cameras inside the rooms
537
00:25:30,137 --> 00:25:32,574
where people actually have sex?
538
00:25:32,574 --> 00:25:34,054
Yes, that's correct.
539
00:25:34,054 --> 00:25:38,493
So the fact that you didn't see my client and Celeste
540
00:25:38,493 --> 00:25:44,499
having sex doesn't mean they didn't have sex.
541
00:25:44,499 --> 00:25:45,587
Correct.
542
00:25:52,812 --> 00:25:55,684
Judge Pappas was way more liberal than I was hoping for.
543
00:25:55,684 --> 00:25:57,033
And Stanley was way more effective
544
00:25:57,033 --> 00:25:58,382
than I was hoping for.
545
00:25:58,382 --> 00:26:01,734
It was too easy. Sex club, the fetish rooms.
546
00:26:01,734 --> 00:26:03,039
She couldn't help herself.
547
00:26:03,039 --> 00:26:04,737
When in doubt, shame the damn victim.
548
00:26:04,737 --> 00:26:07,130
Turn her into a sex freak.
549
00:26:07,130 --> 00:26:08,915
Social norms have changed, Nolan.
550
00:26:08,915 --> 00:26:10,525
People my age don't view sex
551
00:26:10,525 --> 00:26:12,440
with the same level of judgment you do.
552
00:26:12,440 --> 00:26:17,053
Um--uh-- first off, "people your age"?
553
00:26:17,053 --> 00:26:19,490
Second. I'm not that judgmental.
554
00:26:19,490 --> 00:26:23,146
OK. If you say so.
555
00:26:23,146 --> 00:26:26,367
Good news is, I deliberately picked the youngest,
556
00:26:26,367 --> 00:26:28,369
most liberal jury for this very reason.
557
00:26:28,369 --> 00:26:30,676
I know. But that might not be enough.
558
00:26:30,676 --> 00:26:34,375
We need to let the jury know that Bruce Elliot isn't just
559
00:26:34,375 --> 00:26:36,682
another fun-loving sex club patron
560
00:26:36,682 --> 00:26:38,292
who happened to have a bad night.
561
00:26:38,292 --> 00:26:41,425
- Are you suggesting-- - We don't have a choice.
562
00:26:46,996 --> 00:26:49,042
Your Honor, this is outrageous!
563
00:26:49,042 --> 00:26:51,305
There is absolutely no evidence that my client
564
00:26:51,305 --> 00:26:53,524
had anything to do with those other murders.
565
00:26:53,524 --> 00:26:55,135
If there were,
566
00:26:55,135 --> 00:26:57,050
Mr. Price would have already charged him with those crimes.
567
00:26:57,050 --> 00:26:58,486
These three other homicides
568
00:26:58,486 --> 00:27:00,619
clearly constitute prior bad acts.
569
00:27:00,619 --> 00:27:03,317
More specifically, they show a unique pattern of conduct.
570
00:27:03,317 --> 00:27:06,755
All three women were killed the exact same way
571
00:27:06,755 --> 00:27:08,278
as Celeste Clark.
572
00:27:08,278 --> 00:27:10,498
Also, contrary to Ms. Stanley's assertions,
573
00:27:10,498 --> 00:27:12,761
there is evidence tying Elliot to these three other women.
574
00:27:12,761 --> 00:27:14,763
Not enough to indict at the moment,
575
00:27:14,763 --> 00:27:18,288
but enough for them to be admissible under Molineux.
576
00:27:18,288 --> 00:27:19,550
I agree.
577
00:27:19,550 --> 00:27:22,641
Your Honor, this is unduly prejudicial.
578
00:27:22,641 --> 00:27:26,079
By Mr. Price's own admission, the evidence is scant.
579
00:27:26,079 --> 00:27:29,735
Four women were killed in the exact same horrific way
580
00:27:29,735 --> 00:27:32,738
within five miles of each other.
581
00:27:32,738 --> 00:27:34,565
That's good enough for me.
582
00:27:43,183 --> 00:27:46,926
Given the uniquely violent behavior in this case,
583
00:27:46,926 --> 00:27:48,971
we decided to search our database
584
00:27:48,971 --> 00:27:51,582
to determine if any other homicide victims
585
00:27:51,582 --> 00:27:54,020
had been killed in this same manner.
586
00:27:54,020 --> 00:27:55,717
And what did you find?
587
00:27:55,717 --> 00:27:58,372
Three other women were killed the exact same way,
588
00:27:58,372 --> 00:28:01,418
strangled to death, their hyoid bones
589
00:28:01,418 --> 00:28:03,594
and cervical vertebrae broken.
590
00:28:08,730 --> 00:28:11,254
No further questions.
591
00:28:11,254 --> 00:28:13,039
To be clear, Ms. Dixon--
592
00:28:13,039 --> 00:28:15,476
Lieutenant Dixon.
593
00:28:15,476 --> 00:28:17,913
My client has not been charged
594
00:28:17,913 --> 00:28:20,699
with those three murders?
595
00:28:20,699 --> 00:28:22,091
Correct.
596
00:28:22,091 --> 00:28:25,921
My client's DNA was not found on their bodies.
597
00:28:25,921 --> 00:28:27,227
Correct.
598
00:28:27,227 --> 00:28:28,837
So there's no proof
599
00:28:28,837 --> 00:28:32,145
that Bruce Elliot had anything to do with those three deaths.
600
00:28:32,145 --> 00:28:33,581
She's lying!
601
00:28:33,581 --> 00:28:35,017
Don't believe a word out of her damn mount!
602
00:28:35,017 --> 00:28:36,584
Sir, sit down and be quiet!
603
00:28:36,584 --> 00:28:38,412
That son of a bitch right there killed my baby girl!
604
00:28:38,412 --> 00:28:39,413
Don't believe a word out of her damn mouth.
605
00:28:39,413 --> 00:28:40,893
Sir, sit down and be quiet.
606
00:28:40,893 --> 00:28:42,938
That son of a bitch right there broke her damn neck!
607
00:28:42,938 --> 00:28:44,070
Have him removed!
608
00:28:44,070 --> 00:28:45,941
He needs to pay for what he did!
609
00:28:45,941 --> 00:28:47,421
You killed my baby!
610
00:28:47,421 --> 00:28:48,683
I have no idea what you're talking about, sir.
611
00:28:48,683 --> 00:28:49,989
I never met your daughter.
612
00:28:49,989 --> 00:28:53,470
Look at me! Look at me, you sorry son of a--
613
00:28:53,470 --> 00:28:54,994
Look at me!
614
00:29:06,832 --> 00:29:09,356
You are instructed to ignore the assertions and statements
615
00:29:09,356 --> 00:29:10,444
you heard from the person
616
00:29:10,444 --> 00:29:12,446
who was removed from the gallery.
617
00:29:12,446 --> 00:29:13,882
His daughter's death and his beliefs
618
00:29:13,882 --> 00:29:17,146
as to who may have murdered her are irrelevant
619
00:29:17,146 --> 00:29:20,889
and may not be taken into account during deliberations.
620
00:29:20,889 --> 00:29:24,284
Ms. Stanley, please call your first witness.
621
00:29:24,284 --> 00:29:26,634
We call Detective Vincent Riley.
622
00:29:30,203 --> 00:29:32,422
Did you interview the defendant in connection
623
00:29:32,422 --> 00:29:35,904
with a missing persons report involving Olivia Washington?
624
00:29:35,904 --> 00:29:36,905
I did.
625
00:29:36,905 --> 00:29:39,038
Did the police ever find Olivia?
626
00:29:39,038 --> 00:29:40,822
They found her, but she was dead.
627
00:29:40,822 --> 00:29:44,521
Has anyone ever been arrested in connection with her death?
628
00:29:44,521 --> 00:29:46,741
No.
629
00:29:46,741 --> 00:29:50,658
How long did you speak with Mr. Elliot that day?
630
00:29:50,658 --> 00:29:52,312
About 30 minutes.
631
00:29:52,312 --> 00:29:54,967
And what was the result?
632
00:29:54,967 --> 00:29:57,708
Uh, I don't think I know what you mean by the word "result."
633
00:29:57,708 --> 00:29:59,754
After talking with him for 30 minutes,
634
00:29:59,754 --> 00:30:02,539
did you arrest him?
635
00:30:02,539 --> 00:30:03,802
No.
636
00:30:03,802 --> 00:30:05,020
Did you consider him to be a suspect?
637
00:30:05,020 --> 00:30:07,370
No.
638
00:30:07,370 --> 00:30:09,633
And your official rank?
639
00:30:09,633 --> 00:30:10,939
Detective, First Grade.
640
00:30:10,939 --> 00:30:14,421
That is a prestigious position, correct?
641
00:30:14,421 --> 00:30:18,686
One reserved for only the NYPD's best and brightest.
642
00:30:20,557 --> 00:30:22,211
Yes, it is.
643
00:30:22,211 --> 00:30:24,910
Is this your handwriting?
644
00:30:24,910 --> 00:30:26,259
Yes.
645
00:30:26,259 --> 00:30:27,651
And those are your notes?
646
00:30:27,651 --> 00:30:28,914
Yes, they are.
647
00:30:28,914 --> 00:30:30,480
Can you please read what you wrote down
648
00:30:30,480 --> 00:30:32,482
after interviewing Mr. Elliot?
649
00:30:34,745 --> 00:30:37,313
"Talked to Bruce Elliot at approximately 2:30 p.m.
650
00:30:37,313 --> 00:30:38,662
"on May 13th.
651
00:30:38,662 --> 00:30:40,142
"His demeanor was calm,
652
00:30:40,142 --> 00:30:44,059
"no overt signs of anxiety or guilt.
653
00:30:44,059 --> 00:30:45,582
Alibi was credible."
654
00:30:45,582 --> 00:30:47,193
Detective Riley, you are considered
655
00:30:47,193 --> 00:30:50,805
to be one of the best detectives in the entire NYPD.
656
00:30:50,805 --> 00:30:53,721
And you concluded that Mr. Elliot was a kind,
657
00:30:53,721 --> 00:30:56,245
law-abiding citizen who had absolutely nothing to do
658
00:30:56,245 --> 00:30:57,203
with-- - Objection.
659
00:30:57,203 --> 00:30:58,639
Sustained.
660
00:30:58,639 --> 00:31:00,162
Withdrawn. Nothing further.
661
00:31:09,737 --> 00:31:10,956
You really think the jury
662
00:31:10,956 --> 00:31:13,306
bought Stanley's song and dance number?
663
00:31:13,306 --> 00:31:14,568
It was pretty convincing.
664
00:31:14,568 --> 00:31:17,614
I was staring at the jury the whole time.
665
00:31:17,614 --> 00:31:19,007
So now what?
666
00:31:19,007 --> 00:31:21,575
We need to counteract Riley's testimony.
667
00:31:21,575 --> 00:31:23,011
How?
668
00:31:23,011 --> 00:31:26,885
By impeaching his credibility as a detective.
669
00:31:28,712 --> 00:31:29,975
Excuse me?
670
00:31:29,975 --> 00:31:32,064
The defense painted him out to be a hero
671
00:31:32,064 --> 00:31:35,154
and one of the best detectives in the entire police force.
672
00:31:35,154 --> 00:31:37,939
If someone of his ilk thinks Elliot is a prince,
673
00:31:37,939 --> 00:31:39,680
then damn it, he must be a prince.
674
00:31:39,680 --> 00:31:40,986
Exactly.
675
00:31:40,986 --> 00:31:44,250
You want to turn Riley into the court jester?
676
00:31:45,468 --> 00:31:46,948
It turns out,
677
00:31:46,948 --> 00:31:50,256
Riley was suspended for six months
678
00:31:50,256 --> 00:31:52,214
three weeks after he interviewed Elliot.
679
00:31:52,214 --> 00:31:53,737
Our relationship with the police
680
00:31:53,737 --> 00:31:56,218
is already fraught, as you know.
681
00:31:56,218 --> 00:31:59,961
So going after Riley on a case with this much publicity--
682
00:31:59,961 --> 00:32:03,443
We're talking about a serial killer here, Jack.
683
00:32:03,443 --> 00:32:06,098
Putting him away for life.
684
00:32:06,098 --> 00:32:09,405
It is more important than our relationship with the police.
685
00:32:09,405 --> 00:32:11,494
Or embarrassing Riley.
686
00:32:11,494 --> 00:32:13,627
It just is.
687
00:32:15,455 --> 00:32:17,239
Give Dixon a heads-up.
688
00:32:34,648 --> 00:32:36,998
Thanks for meeting me.
689
00:32:36,998 --> 00:32:39,000
You're really gonna do this?
690
00:32:39,000 --> 00:32:40,871
You're really gonna impeach Vince?
691
00:32:40,871 --> 00:32:42,612
I don't have a choice.
692
00:32:42,612 --> 00:32:44,092
Sure you do.
693
00:32:44,092 --> 00:32:47,356
You're just making the choice that's best for you.
694
00:32:47,356 --> 00:32:49,619
Best for the case.
695
00:32:49,619 --> 00:32:51,882
Same thing.
696
00:32:51,882 --> 00:32:56,017
I need to know why Riley was suspended.
697
00:32:56,017 --> 00:32:58,759
For God's sake, Nolan. There's got to be another way.
698
00:32:58,759 --> 00:33:00,282
There isn't.
699
00:33:00,282 --> 00:33:03,590
I can subpoena the official records, if you prefer.
700
00:33:03,590 --> 00:33:05,374
Listen, Riley is a good man.
701
00:33:05,374 --> 00:33:06,810
He is a great cop.
702
00:33:06,810 --> 00:33:08,987
And for you to just tear him apart is--
703
00:33:17,473 --> 00:33:20,737
Look, he had a really rough go.
704
00:33:20,737 --> 00:33:22,391
His father was dying.
705
00:33:22,391 --> 00:33:25,220
He couldn't bear the thought of putting him in a home,
706
00:33:25,220 --> 00:33:28,136
so he worked all kinds of crazy overtime
707
00:33:28,136 --> 00:33:30,312
just to pay for the caretakers.
708
00:33:30,312 --> 00:33:33,750
And he tried to cope, like we all do.
709
00:33:35,404 --> 00:33:38,755
And then one day while all this was going on,
710
00:33:38,755 --> 00:33:43,151
he overheard a huge argument I was having with my captain.
711
00:33:43,151 --> 00:33:46,850
And that sexist son of a bitch
712
00:33:46,850 --> 00:33:48,069
called me something that he shouldn't.
713
00:33:48,069 --> 00:33:49,810
I'm just gonna leave it at that.
714
00:33:49,810 --> 00:33:51,899
And, uh...
715
00:33:51,899 --> 00:33:55,729
Vince walked in...
716
00:33:55,729 --> 00:33:58,210
And he knocked his ass out. One punch.
717
00:33:59,950 --> 00:34:03,432
Yeah. And he'd been drinking.
718
00:34:03,432 --> 00:34:06,392
So... not good.
719
00:34:09,525 --> 00:34:11,266
OK.
720
00:34:11,266 --> 00:34:13,877
I'm gonna send you over the official report.
721
00:34:17,707 --> 00:34:19,318
But, Nolan.
722
00:34:23,322 --> 00:34:26,890
He threw a punch for me.
723
00:34:26,890 --> 00:34:28,457
Who does that?
724
00:34:29,937 --> 00:34:32,722
And as stupid and reckless as it was...
725
00:34:35,464 --> 00:34:37,684
I appreciate what he did.
726
00:34:56,094 --> 00:34:58,270
Shortly after interviewing the defendant,
727
00:34:58,270 --> 00:35:01,273
you were suspended from the NYPD.
728
00:35:01,273 --> 00:35:02,752
That's correct.
729
00:35:02,752 --> 00:35:04,928
For attacking a captain while drunk.
730
00:35:04,928 --> 00:35:07,279
Not exactly. Um...
731
00:35:07,279 --> 00:35:10,630
I punched him once in the face,
732
00:35:10,630 --> 00:35:12,588
and I wasn't drunk.
733
00:35:12,588 --> 00:35:13,937
But you'd been drinking.
734
00:35:16,331 --> 00:35:17,680
I had had a few sips of alcohol
735
00:35:17,680 --> 00:35:19,552
earlier that day, yeah.
736
00:35:19,552 --> 00:35:21,162
You drink alcohol while you're on the clock
737
00:35:21,162 --> 00:35:22,381
working as a police officer?
738
00:35:25,210 --> 00:35:27,777
For a short period of time, I did, yes.
739
00:35:27,777 --> 00:35:29,823
And during this short period of time,
740
00:35:29,823 --> 00:35:32,608
you interviewed the defendant in connection with
741
00:35:32,608 --> 00:35:34,132
Olivia Washington's disappearance?
742
00:35:34,132 --> 00:35:36,046
Correct.
743
00:35:36,046 --> 00:35:39,311
Also, during that period of time,
744
00:35:39,311 --> 00:35:41,835
your father was ill and...
745
00:35:41,835 --> 00:35:45,099
your wife and kids had moved out of your house?
746
00:35:46,361 --> 00:35:49,582
Yes.
747
00:35:49,582 --> 00:35:52,411
That's obviously incredibly stressful.
748
00:35:52,411 --> 00:35:53,847
Yes, it was.
749
00:35:53,847 --> 00:35:55,631
So when you interviewed the defendant,
750
00:35:55,631 --> 00:35:57,329
you were under incredible stress,
751
00:35:57,329 --> 00:35:58,373
you were drinking.
752
00:35:58,373 --> 00:35:59,853
I didn't drink that day.
753
00:35:59,853 --> 00:36:01,376
Even though you admit to drinking during the day
754
00:36:01,376 --> 00:36:02,334
while on the job? - I never said
755
00:36:02,334 --> 00:36:04,292
that I drank every day.
756
00:36:04,292 --> 00:36:05,989
I-I-I don't know what that means.
757
00:36:05,989 --> 00:36:08,035
It means that I didn't drink every day.
758
00:36:08,035 --> 00:36:10,080
OK, but the point here, Detective,
759
00:36:10,080 --> 00:36:13,171
is that you drank while at work during this period of time
760
00:36:13,171 --> 00:36:15,129
and you were under extraordinary stress,
761
00:36:15,129 --> 00:36:17,740
which means your assessment of the defendant's guilt
762
00:36:17,740 --> 00:36:20,134
or innocence is absolutely meaningless.
763
00:36:20,134 --> 00:36:21,222
Objection!
764
00:36:21,222 --> 00:36:23,442
Sustained.
765
00:36:27,054 --> 00:36:28,229
Nothing further.
766
00:36:45,290 --> 00:36:48,075
Hey. You doing OK?
767
00:36:50,120 --> 00:36:53,602
I know it wasn't pleasant, but...
768
00:36:53,602 --> 00:36:55,952
you did the right thing for Celeste.
769
00:36:55,952 --> 00:36:57,476
And for the other three victims.
770
00:36:57,476 --> 00:37:00,566
Yeah. Well, it'll all be for naught
771
00:37:00,566 --> 00:37:02,742
if we don't get a conviction.
772
00:37:02,742 --> 00:37:05,527
Let's dig into the file, get to work.
773
00:37:09,749 --> 00:37:11,620
You got a minute?
774
00:37:13,318 --> 00:37:15,233
Yeah, sure.
775
00:37:17,931 --> 00:37:19,062
Come on in.
776
00:37:29,203 --> 00:37:30,596
Look, I'm sorry about today.
777
00:37:30,596 --> 00:37:33,163
I get it.
778
00:37:36,732 --> 00:37:38,647
You did what you had to do.
779
00:37:41,694 --> 00:37:44,827
So why are you here?
780
00:37:44,827 --> 00:37:47,265
Well, I kept on digging into those other three murders.
781
00:37:47,265 --> 00:37:50,311
And I made some phone calls, found some photos,
782
00:37:50,311 --> 00:37:51,486
and I found something that
783
00:37:51,486 --> 00:37:52,835
I think is gonna be pretty helpful.
784
00:38:16,381 --> 00:38:19,340
Is this what I think it is?
785
00:38:25,477 --> 00:38:28,044
Defendant is a psychopathic misogynist
786
00:38:28,044 --> 00:38:30,482
who derived pleasure from killing defenseless women
787
00:38:30,482 --> 00:38:32,222
with his bare hands.
788
00:38:32,222 --> 00:38:35,269
The night of December 4th, he met Celeste Clark at a club,
789
00:38:35,269 --> 00:38:37,358
and later that night, he killed her,
790
00:38:37,358 --> 00:38:39,839
choked her to death, and then
791
00:38:39,839 --> 00:38:44,278
viciously broke her neck and her hyoid bone.
792
00:38:45,497 --> 00:38:48,195
Not easy to break a hyoid bone.
793
00:38:48,195 --> 00:38:52,417
In fact, it's extremely difficult and--and rare.
794
00:38:52,417 --> 00:38:57,378
Hyoid bone fractures represent only 0.002% of all fractures
795
00:38:57,378 --> 00:39:00,816
because it's so well-protected by its location in the neck
796
00:39:00,816 --> 00:39:02,992
behind the mandible in front of the cervical spine.
797
00:39:02,992 --> 00:39:06,561
In other words, it takes tremendous force
798
00:39:06,561 --> 00:39:09,390
and tremendous violence
799
00:39:09,390 --> 00:39:11,349
to break someone's hyoid bone.
800
00:39:15,918 --> 00:39:19,095
The defendant then snatched Celeste's necklace
801
00:39:19,095 --> 00:39:20,445
as a trophy.
802
00:39:20,445 --> 00:39:22,751
Police found it inside his condo the next day.
803
00:39:22,751 --> 00:39:26,059
But Celeste is not the only woman to die
804
00:39:26,059 --> 00:39:27,930
at the hands of this hateful man.
805
00:39:27,930 --> 00:39:29,236
His killing spree began
806
00:39:29,236 --> 00:39:31,891
three years before Celeste's murder.
807
00:39:31,891 --> 00:39:33,022
You heard the testimony.
808
00:39:33,022 --> 00:39:34,763
You saw what the detectives found
809
00:39:34,763 --> 00:39:38,071
inside the defendant's condo.
810
00:39:38,071 --> 00:39:41,770
That ring and those two necklaces.
811
00:39:43,381 --> 00:39:48,560
The defendant robbed these four women of their lives.
812
00:39:49,909 --> 00:39:51,650
And then he stole their jewelry
813
00:39:51,650 --> 00:39:55,741
to commemorate his despicable acts.
814
00:39:58,570 --> 00:40:01,921
Bruce Elliot is a vile,
815
00:40:01,921 --> 00:40:05,707
cold-blooded killer
816
00:40:05,707 --> 00:40:09,276
and must be held accountable for his actions.
817
00:40:09,276 --> 00:40:14,281
So please, analyze the evidence carefully.
818
00:40:14,281 --> 00:40:16,675
And then convict this monster of murder.
819
00:40:37,391 --> 00:40:39,785
In the matter of People v. Bruce Elliot,
820
00:40:39,785 --> 00:40:42,831
has the jury reached a verdict?
821
00:40:42,831 --> 00:40:46,008
- Yes, we have, Your Honor. - How do you find?
822
00:40:46,008 --> 00:40:48,010
We find the defendant...
823
00:40:48,010 --> 00:40:49,098
guilty.
824
00:40:50,622 --> 00:40:52,493
Ladies and gentlemen of the jury,
825
00:40:52,493 --> 00:40:54,147
we thank you for your service.59187
