How do you expect us to help you if
you don't know what the guy looks like?

- Hi, Lieutenant.
- Hello, Sergeant. Where are the boys?
13
00:04:52,333 --> 00:04:55,200
- Oh, we have them set up for you inside.
- Come on.
14
00:04:55,333 --> 00:04:57,000
When are we gonna get to
take a few shots, Lieutenant?
15
00:04:57,067 --> 00:04:58,400
Yeah, when can we see them?

Now, fellows, we'll be through with
this as soon as we possibly can.

This is Hank Bell. He'll
handle the preliminary.

Arthur Reardon, Anthony Aposto
and Daniel D- l-P-A-C-E. Di Pace.
31
00:05:53,667 --> 00:05:55,733
Which one of you is Di Pace?
32
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:05,867
- Your name Di Pace?
- David Copperfield.
33
00:06:06,467 --> 00:06:08,933
All right, do you want me to
bounce you around the room?
34
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:12,267
- Hey, he ain't writing that.
- HANK: He's Di Pace.
35
00:06:14,267 --> 00:06:17,600
- Your father John Di Pace?
- I ain't got no father.
36
00:06:19,467 --> 00:06:22,200
Your mother's named Mary?
37
00:06:22,933 --> 00:06:25,067
So what the hell does my
mother got to do with it?
38
00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:26,600
Nothing, kid.
39
00:06:27,933 --> 00:06:30,667
- How old are you, Danny?
- I'm 15.
40
00:06:30,933 --> 00:06:33,133
You can't hold me in this police station.
41
00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:35,800
You can't even question me. I'm a juvenile.
42
00:06:35,867 --> 00:06:39,667
You're a juvenile up to 16 unless
you kill somebody and you did.
43
00:06:39,733 --> 00:06:42,133
- He stopped again.
- All right, shut up.
44
00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:43,533
Gunderson!
45
00:06:55,333 --> 00:06:58,000
The law says you can execute
a 15-year-old for murder.
46
00:06:58,067 --> 00:07:00,333
But it also says you can't
question him in a police station...
47
00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:03,067
Now look, I'm tired of
having to coddle these punks
48
00:07:03,133 --> 00:07:05,067
because they're 15 instead of 16.
49
00:07:05,133 --> 00:07:06,733
You don't have to tell me about these kids.
50
00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:08,067
I was born in this neighborhood.
51
00:07:08,133 --> 00:07:10,333
I went to school with some
of the worst gunsels in town.
52
00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:12,200
A good swift kick would do more
to straighten out these punks
53
00:07:12,267 --> 00:07:13,267
- than anything...
- Gunderson.
54
00:07:13,333 --> 00:07:17,533
We're not out to kick kids this time,
we're out for first degree murder.
55
00:07:18,333 --> 00:07:20,400
Putting a juvenile in the
chair is always big trouble.
56
00:07:20,467 --> 00:07:24,267
Whoever prosecutes this case will need
a clear record the defense can't attack.
57
00:07:24,333 --> 00:07:26,733
No technicalities getting in the
way, like interrogating a juvenile
58
00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:29,000
in the police station, right?
59
00:07:29,867 --> 00:07:31,000
Okay.
60
00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:34,133
Let's find out the ages of the other two,
61
00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:37,000
and then we'll separate the baby
killers from the adult killers.
62
00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:43,467
- Okay, Whitey. You, name and age?
- Arthur Reardon, 17.
63
00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:46,200
- Batman.
- What's your name?
64
00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:49,667
- Anthony Aposto.
- How old are you?
65
00:07:50,467 --> 00:07:51,733
Sixteen.
66
00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:58,133
- Their homes been called, Captain?
- Strictly according to the book, Counselor.
67
00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:01,467
Mrs. Di Pace and Reardon's
old man are outside now.
68
00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:04,933
Take him out to see his mother.
69
00:08:36,067 --> 00:08:38,000
So you're a big shot, now.
70
00:08:38,067 --> 00:08:40,533
You didn't find them knives on us.
71
00:08:40,733 --> 00:08:43,267
Found a lot of holes in the
body, we'll find the knives.
72
00:08:43,333 --> 00:08:47,800
The spic started it. He pulled a knife.
So now, he's dead like he should be.
73
00:08:48,933 --> 00:08:51,467
Why do you figure he pulled a knife?
74
00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:55,333
- We was on his turf.
- He's on your turf, you pull a knife?
75
00:08:56,400 --> 00:08:59,867
We ain't no dirty spics. We're Thunderbirds.
76
00:09:02,667 --> 00:09:05,200
Do you know the name of the boy you killed?
77
00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:07,600
No, we never seen him before.
78
00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:11,733
His name was Roberto
Escalante. He was 15 years old.
79
00:09:13,133 --> 00:09:14,200
So?
80
00:09:15,667 --> 00:09:17,933
Now, let me get this straight.
81
00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:21,600
You went for a walk on
his street, he saw you.
82
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:25,000
- He came at you with a knife, right?
- ARTHUR: Yeah, that's right.
83
00:09:26,667 --> 00:09:27,800
He must've been pretty good with a knife?
84
00:09:27,867 --> 00:09:29,333
ARTHUR: He was crazy.
85
00:09:30,533 --> 00:09:33,533
In fact, he must have been better with
a knife than anybody in the whole world,
86
00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:35,867
because Roberto Escalante was blind.
87
00:09:53,133 --> 00:09:55,867
So, in view of Tolly's switch
to guilty, I think I'll be free
88
00:09:55,933 --> 00:09:59,400
to take over that teenage
killing case, if you'd like me to.
89
00:09:59,467 --> 00:10:01,933
I mean, it sounds like a toughy
90
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:03,867
and I'd like something to get
my teeth into, for a change.
91
00:10:03,933 --> 00:10:05,333
Something I can really identify with.
92
00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:08,467
Yes, well, I've asked Hank to
handle the preliminary on that.
93
00:10:08,533 --> 00:10:09,533
How about it, Hank?
94
00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:11,400
Well, the facts in the case
are just about as reported.
95
00:10:12,467 --> 00:10:15,467
The boys admit the killing,
but they claim self-defense.
96
00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:19,400
However, the boy they killed,
the Puerto Rican boy, was blind.
97
00:10:20,133 --> 00:10:21,333
Blind?
98
00:10:22,667 --> 00:10:23,933
(EX CLAIMS SOFTLY)
99
00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:28,800
I've got a hunch the papers are
gonna play this like the Chicago Fire.
100
00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:31,400
Do you think we should try
for first degree murder?
101
00:10:31,467 --> 00:10:33,267
It looks like it to me.
102
00:10:37,133 --> 00:10:38,933
You wanna prosecute?
103
00:10:40,067 --> 00:10:42,067
That's up to you, but
before you make any decision
104
00:10:42,133 --> 00:10:46,467
I think you ought to know one of the
defendants is a kid named Di Pace.
105
00:10:46,533 --> 00:10:48,267
I used to go with his
mother, when I was a kid.
106
00:10:48,333 --> 00:10:51,267
Oh boy, Hank, the papers would
have a field day with this one.
107
00:10:51,867 --> 00:10:53,600
I hope I'm not speaking
out of turn, Mr. Cole.
108
00:10:53,667 --> 00:10:56,667
But it seems to me that politically
this is a dangerous case.
109
00:10:56,733 --> 00:10:57,867
Politically?
110
00:10:57,933 --> 00:10:59,000
(CHUCKLES)
111
00:10:59,067 --> 00:11:02,467
We don't care anything
about politics now, do we?
112
00:11:02,533 --> 00:11:06,267
Well, sir, I think we're all aware,
sir, that there's something more
113
00:11:06,333 --> 00:11:10,400
than a ground swell developing to
put you in the Governor's mansion.
114
00:11:10,467 --> 00:11:13,200
I'm sure none of us would like to see
anything happen to jeopardize that.
115
00:11:13,267 --> 00:11:15,733
Oh, now, the worst the newspapers can say is,
116
00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:19,067
"Honest D.A. prosecutes son
of childhood sweetheart."
117
00:11:19,133 --> 00:11:21,533
Doesn't sound so damaging to me.
118
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:23,400
All right, that's all
for the moment, gentlemen.
119
00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:31,867
- Hello, darling.
- Sweetheart.
120
00:11:39,667 --> 00:11:41,200
Boy, I'm beat.
121
00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:50,467
- How's that for timing?
- I earned this one today.
122
00:11:51,467 --> 00:11:55,600
- Did you ever see such headlines?
- It's a hard case, all right.
123
00:11:55,733 --> 00:11:57,600
Mom, where's that white bra of yours?
124
00:11:57,667 --> 00:11:58,933
- Hi, Dad.
- Hi, beautiful.
125
00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:00,733
Third drawer of the dresser,
dear, where it always is.
126
00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:01,867
Okay.
127
00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:05,533
Jenny wearing a bra?
128
00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:09,067
Jenny's been wearing a bra
for almost two years now.
129
00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:13,200
I guess I haven't taken
a good look at her lately.
130
00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:17,333
One of those boys is only
a year older than Jenny.
131
00:12:19,067 --> 00:12:23,133
- I guess that's why it bothers me so.
- He was old enough to handle a knife.
132
00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:26,000
Whose idea was it anyway to
go for murder one, Dan Cole's?
133
00:12:26,067 --> 00:12:28,667
- Look, Karin...
- I know why he assigned this case to you.
134
00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:33,467
Cause you're the only man smart enough
to get him a first degree conviction.
135
00:12:33,533 --> 00:12:36,733
He'd frame his own mother
to get that nomination.
136
00:12:37,267 --> 00:12:41,200
Karin, it wasn't Dan Cole's idea
to go for first degree murder.
137
00:12:41,867 --> 00:12:43,267
It was mine.
138
00:12:43,667 --> 00:12:44,867
Yours?
139
00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:48,200
Yes, mine.
140
00:12:49,867 --> 00:12:51,600
I don't believe it.
141
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:53,800
But you came from that neighborhood yourself.
142
00:12:53,867 --> 00:12:56,933
- Yes and I got out.
- Yes, you did.
143
00:12:58,067 --> 00:13:00,067
But everybody hasn't got
the emotional equipment
144
00:13:00,133 --> 00:13:02,333
to put up with the slums and the poverty.
145
00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:05,267
Here we go with the passive
theories of social oppression.
146
00:13:05,333 --> 00:13:08,267
Listen, Karin, those punks
have made Harlem a nightmare.
147
00:13:08,333 --> 00:13:11,200
People are afraid to walk home
from the subway after dark.
148
00:13:11,267 --> 00:13:13,933
Remember the old man at the newsstand,
the one who loaned me the money
149
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:15,933
to buy a suit for my bar exam?
150
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:19,000
Well, last week, four of your
underprivileged children beat him up.
151
00:13:19,067 --> 00:13:21,400
They broke both his legs,
he'll never walk again.
152
00:13:21,467 --> 00:13:23,667
And you're upset because
three self-confessed killers
153
00:13:23,733 --> 00:13:24,800
are gonna stand trial for murder.
154
00:13:26,467 --> 00:13:28,667
Good night, folks. Don't wait up for me.
155
00:13:28,733 --> 00:13:31,533
Oh, Jenny, I wasn't planning to.
156
00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:33,733
I'm going to bed at 12:00, after you.
157
00:13:34,533 --> 00:13:38,667
Mother, you can be such a drag
sometimes. So utterly cubistic.
158
00:13:38,867 --> 00:13:40,800
You know what I mean, don't you, Dad?
159
00:13:40,933 --> 00:13:43,933
You heard your mother. 12:00, darling.
160
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:47,933
All right, I just hope I can explain
it to Lonnie's satisfaction. Good night.
161
00:13:50,067 --> 00:13:52,333
Lonnie? Whatever happened to Greg?
162
00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:55,533
He's been replaced by a
more mature man, age 16.
163
00:13:56,400 --> 00:13:59,400
- I ever meet Lonnie?
- You haven't even met Greg.
164
00:14:00,733 --> 00:14:02,933
Look, honey, let's not wrangle.
165
00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:05,067
Come on, we'll grab our
things, go out to dinner,
166
00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:08,533
have a big, thick steak and a

00:24:59,533 --> 00:25:03,067
Just another case, another
conviction? He's mine, Hank.
336
00:25:04,067 --> 00:25:06,600
Danny will have a fair
trial, same as the other two.
337
00:25:06,667 --> 00:25:08,467
You know this neighborhood.
338
00:25:08,600 --> 00:25:10,600
- You're guilty before you're arrested.
- Mary.
339
00:25:10,667 --> 00:25:13,400
You look everywhere for evidence
to prove that he's guilty.
340
00:25:13,533 --> 00:25:16,067
Are you looking for evidence
to prove he's innocent?
341
00:25:16,133 --> 00:25:18,333
No, that wouldn't help you, would it?
342
00:25:18,400 --> 00:25:21,400
You wouldn't get a gold
star, would you, Hank?
343
00:25:24,933 --> 00:25:26,600
They're all alike.
344
00:25:28,933 --> 00:25:31,067
They all say the same thing.
345
00:25:31,400 --> 00:25:34,667
"My son didn't do it."
"My son couldn't do it."
346
00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:36,933
"My son is a good boy."
347
00:25:38,600 --> 00:25:40,600
They all believe it, too.

- Can I come in a minute?
- Please.
350
00:26:31,800 --> 00:26:33,267
Please, Hank.
351
00:26:39,467 --> 00:26:40,800
Come in.
352
00:26:49,667 --> 00:26:52,133
I'm calling a Puerto Rican boy.
353
00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:54,800
I want him to tell you something.

(SPEAKING IN SPANISH)
355

He came to see Danny
last summer, to thank him.

00:27:04,800 --> 00:27:06,067
Sit down, Hank.
357

Jos�?
358
00:27:09,133 --> 00:27:11,333
Could you come to my house right away?
359
00:27:11,400 --> 00:27:13,333
It's Danny's mother.

(SPEAKING IN SPANISH)
361
00:27:18,067 --> 00:27:21,000
I went to look for him yesterday. Sit down.
362
00:27:26,333 --> 00:27:28,867
How does he... How does he
get through no man's land?
363
00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:32,533
Well, he comes through the cellars
and then through that old area way...
364
00:27:32,600 --> 00:27:34,133
Over the roof?
365
00:27:35,067 --> 00:27:36,667
Yeah, I remember.
366
00:27:40,333 --> 00:27:44,467
He'll be here right away. You wait,
Hank. I have to go to work in a minute.
367
00:27:44,533 --> 00:27:47,733
- I work in an appliance store down...
- I'll wait.

369
00:27:51,400 --> 00:27:53,400
I'll get you some coffee.

00:27:53,800 --> 00:27:55,200
No, don't...

00:28:04,733 --> 00:28:06,667
Jos�, this is Mr. Bell.
373
00:28:07,133 --> 00:28:09,000
He's a friend of mine.
374
00:28:09,600 --> 00:28:11,600
Is amigo. You can talk to him.
375
00:28:11,667 --> 00:28:13,867
The Thunderbirds will kill
me if they know I am here,

- On 124th Street?
- Yes.

00:28:33,867 --> 00:28:37,200
Well, there's a cool in there. No fighting.
383
00:28:37,533 --> 00:28:39,867
I was there with some of the Horsemen.
384

Look in the water.
389

I don't see nothing in the water.
390
00:29:09,933 --> 00:29:11,067
Spics.

Hey, Danny! Come here.

Yeah, what's up, Doc?
396
00:29:29,800 --> 00:29:32,267
Take a look. San Juan's polluting the water.
397
00:29:35,733 --> 00:29:38,800
So, you never saw a spic
before? They swim here every day.
398
00:29:38,933 --> 00:29:40,533
Today, I don't like it.

immigration department or something?

I'm me. I don't like it
and I say we kick 'em out.

Danny, don't get into trouble.
402
00:29:48,400 --> 00:29:51,867
So, that's your problem. You
let a broad boss you, huh?

All right, all right. Big
deal. Let's go get it over with.
404
00:30:21,533 --> 00:30:23,733
What are you wearing a necklace for?
405
00:30:23,867 --> 00:30:26,267
I thought only girls wore necklaces.
406
00:30:26,333 --> 00:30:27,867
That's no necklace.
407
00:30:27,933 --> 00:30:29,867
That's Jes�s Cristo.

Can you believe that the
same boy who did this,
426
00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:08,800
would stab to death a helpless blind boy?

00:32:11,800 --> 00:32:14,800
If he didn't do it, we'll
find out he didn't do it.

You know, Hank,
430
00:32:27,533 --> 00:32:30,800
I made a terrible mistake
when I walked out on you.
431
00:32:34,533 --> 00:32:37,733
I knew it the day after I married Johnny.
432
00:32:38,467 --> 00:32:41,133
He turned out to be a petty racketeer.
433
00:32:41,667 --> 00:32:45,000
I never told Danny what
kind of man his father was.
434
00:32:45,933 --> 00:32:48,067
But he's a pretty sharp kid.
435
00:32:49,533 --> 00:32:52,467
And sometimes, I would see him looking at me,
436
00:32:52,733 --> 00:32:57,067
thinking, "What kind of a woman is
that? She marries a guy like that."
437
00:32:58,600 --> 00:32:59,800
And so,
438
00:33:00,600 --> 00:33:03,600
you know, just to make him think more of me,
439
00:33:04,200 --> 00:33:06,400
I would tell him about you.
440
00:33:09,000 --> 00:33:12,067
You know, when we read
your name in the papers,
441
00:33:12,133 --> 00:33:15,733
or I kind of heard about what you were doing.
442
00:33:17,933 --> 00:33:20,000
And then, I would think,
443
00:33:20,067 --> 00:33:23,400
"Well, you can't be a total mess. A
man like that wanted to marry you."
444
00:33:23,467 --> 00:33:25,667
Don't give yourself the worst of it, Mary.
445
00:33:27,333 --> 00:33:31,667
You will try to see Danny
as he really is, huh?
446
00:33:33,067 --> 00:33:34,133
I'll talk to him.
447
00:33:36,333 --> 00:33:38,400
He could have been our son.
448
00:33:43,667 --> 00:33:46,067
That was a long time ago, Mary.

450
00:33:48,667 --> 00:33:51,467
Maybe it's too bad, but we've grown up.

00:33:54,067 --> 00:33:55,800
Will Danny grow up?

00:34:39,800 --> 00:34:42,267
- Well, did you find them?
- Not yet.

- How many men did you put on it?
- All we can spare.

- How many is that?
- Two.

That's not enough, Lieutenant.
You'll have to put more men on it.
463
00:34:53,267 --> 00:34:55,733
And you'd better put out an all
points bulletin about that car.

I don't have all day, Bell. Over.
469
00:35:09,400 --> 00:35:11,133
Let me talk to the head of your department.
470
00:35:11,200 --> 00:35:14,200
He went on vacation this morning,
and he's the only one who can give
471
00:35:14,267 --> 00:35:17,267
priority authorization
for additional manpower.
472
00:35:17,400 --> 00:35:20,000
Well, doesn't he deputize
anyone to do it for him?
473
00:35:20,133 --> 00:35:21,333
No, he doesn't.
474
00:35:21,400 --> 00:35:22,800
Well, does your whole department go to pieces
475
00:35:22,867 --> 00:35:25,200
because one man goes on a vacation?
476
00:35:25,267 --> 00:35:28,333
We'll find your knives as
soon as we can, Mr. Bell.
477
00:35:28,400 --> 00:35:31,667
Of course, we only have to find
an undescribed automobile which
478
00:35:31,733 --> 00:35:35,133
may be anywhere in the state of
New York, Connecticut, New Jersey,

in spite of being understaffed,

But I'm sure you're not interested
in our internal problems. Over.

Look, Hardy, I hate to have to
go to the D.A. on this. Over.

- Now, where to, Hank?
- What?

Where to?

My folks didn't understand me.

I just wanted to go to the
country and see the cows.
493
00:36:48,133 --> 00:36:52,067
Instead, they sent me out on this
crummy street to play with bad boys.
494
00:36:52,133 --> 00:36:54,267
Some parents, huh? But it
really wasn't their fault.

00:37:31,200 --> 00:37:33,867
My mother takes in boarders
and goes out with them, too.
508
00:37:33,933 --> 00:37:36,400
I got a sister. I don't
know if she's my sister.
509
00:37:36,467 --> 00:37:38,200
That's why I'm so disturbed.
510
00:37:38,267 --> 00:37:40,133
- He's got a song about it.
- Yeah.
511
00:37:40,200 --> 00:37:41,800
Go ahead, sing it, stupid.
512
00:37:41,867 --> 00:37:43,467
Yeah, yeah.
513
00:37:43,533 --> 00:37:47,200
My mother throws snow to the snowbirds
514
00:37:47,267 --> 00:37:50,000
My father makes barbershop gin
515
00:37:50,067 --> 00:37:53,067
My sister sells jazz for a living
516
00:37:53,133 --> 00:37:55,467
And that's when money rolls in
517
00:37:57,467 --> 00:37:58,600
Where's Dr. Walsh's office?
518
00:37:58,667 --> 00:38:00,600
- Down at the end of that corridor.
- They're all yours.
519
00:38:00,733 --> 00:38:03,200
Hey, look, ain't you going to
ask us no regular questions?
520
00:38:03,267 --> 00:38:04,267
On your feet.
521
00:38:04,333 --> 00:38:07,267
I don't want you to run another Rorschach.
522
00:38:07,800 --> 00:38:10,000
I don't care if he's faking.
523
00:38:10,400 --> 00:38:11,600
I don't care.
524
00:38:11,667 --> 00:38:15,000
What he's faking reveals just
as much as his real reactions.
525
00:38:15,933 --> 00:38:17,933
That's right. Yes, yes.
526
00:38:18,400 --> 00:38:20,533
Yeah, I gotta go. Bye.
527
00:38:20,867 --> 00:38:22,733
My name is Bell, D.A.'s office.
528
00:38:23,333 --> 00:38:24,533
Oh, yes.
529
00:38:25,733 --> 00:38:28,133
I understand they're building a
kid-sized electric chair upstate
530
00:38:28,200 --> 00:38:30,000
for you people.
531
00:38:30,067 --> 00:38:32,333
Now, Doctor, that's a nice friendly approach.
532
00:38:32,400 --> 00:38:34,200
Indictment is first degree, isn't it?
533
00:38:34,333 --> 00:38:36,267
Usually is, in premeditated murder.
534
00:38:36,333 --> 00:38:37,800
Bully and gung ho.
535
00:38:37,867 --> 00:38:41,533
I'm delighted you haven't fallen
for any of that modern nonsense
536
00:38:41,600 --> 00:38:44,333
about emotional problems or environment,
537
00:38:44,400 --> 00:38:46,067
or broken homes.
538
00:38:46,133 --> 00:38:48,133
A little mass execution now and then,
539
00:38:48,200 --> 00:38:50,533
- that'll stop them.
- Nothing else has.
540
00:38:51,867 --> 00:38:55,467
Look, Doctor, I came here to ask a
couple of questions about these boys.
541
00:38:55,533 --> 00:38:58,267
I've already talked with Reardon and Aposto.
542
00:38:58,867 --> 00:39:00,667
They're old pros.
543
00:39:00,733 --> 00:39:04,933
Those two have been through the mill
here regularly since they were 10 or 11.
544
00:39:06,000 --> 00:39:08,867
- Di Pace been in here before?
- No. This is his first.
545
00:39:09,533 --> 00:39:10,867
Tell me something about him.
546
00:39:10,933 --> 00:39:11,933
He's bright.
547
00:39:12,000 --> 00:39:13,800
IQ 135.
548
00:39:13,867 --> 00:39:15,333
Likes to read.
549
00:39:15,467 --> 00:39:18,667
Of course, the psychological tests show
aggression and fear, just like the others.
550
00:39:19,867 --> 00:39:21,600
What about Reardon?
551
00:39:22,333 --> 00:39:25,667
Delusions of grandeur.
Deep feeling of inferiority.
552
00:39:27,000 --> 00:39:29,800
Hates anybody whose skin
or religion is different.
553
00:39:29,867 --> 00:39:32,667
Underneath, scared of course.
554
00:39:32,733 --> 00:39:34,800
But scared more than the others.
555
00:39:36,133 --> 00:39:38,467
Is Aposto as stupid as he seems?
556
00:39:38,533 --> 00:39:39,867
Retarded.
557
00:39:41,200 --> 00:39:42,400
Very.
558
00:39:42,467 --> 00:39:45,800
As a psychiatrist, would
you say he's legally sane?
559
00:39:47,067 --> 00:39:51,000
Now you know that the words sane and
insane have no meaning in medicine?
560
00:39:51,133 --> 00:39:54,200
- They have in law.
- I deal in people, Mr. Bell.
561
00:39:54,267 --> 00:39:56,867
Not in legal technicalities.
562
00:39:58,067 --> 00:39:59,067
Where is Di Pace?
563
00:39:59,533 --> 00:40:01,733
- In the juvenile section.
- Thank you.
564
00:40:02,733 --> 00:40:04,533
And, by the way,
565
00:40:04,600 --> 00:40:06,933
I hope you'll forgive my bad manners.
566
00:40:07,867 --> 00:40:11,267
It's a conditioned reflex with
public officials, I'm afraid.
567
00:40:11,333 --> 00:40:14,933
Think nothing of it, Doctor. We
all have our emotional problems.
568
00:40:25,333 --> 00:40:26,600
Sit down.
569
00:40:32,533 --> 00:40:34,267
- Cigarette?
- Ram it.
570
00:40:38,800 --> 00:40:40,467
I'd like to hear your
side of the story, Danny.
571
00:40:40,533 --> 00:40:42,333
So you can help fry me?
572
00:40:42,400 --> 00:40:44,067
Do I look like a kook?
573
00:40:44,867 --> 00:40:47,400
Did my lawyers give you
an okay to talk to me?
574
00:40:47,467 --> 00:40:48,600
They know I'm here.
575
00:40:48,733 --> 00:40:50,667
They must have told you
you're in serious trouble.
576
00:40:50,800 --> 00:40:53,600
They told me I'm innocent till proven guilty.
577
00:40:53,667 --> 00:40:55,333
You'll get a fair trial,
if that's what you mean.
578
00:40:55,400 --> 00:40:58,333
But not in a children's
court, a grown-up murder trial.
579
00:40:59,133 --> 00:41:01,133
You better tell me your story.
580
00:41:01,200 --> 00:41:02,333
Okay.
581
00:41:02,667 --> 00:41:04,733
In two words, self-defense.
582
00:41:05,467 --> 00:41:07,000
Danny, that's stupid and you know it.
583
00:41:07,067 --> 00:41:09,533
And you're stupid to stick to it.
584
00:41:10,533 --> 00:41:12,933
Tough and a half. So, I'm stupid.
585
00:41:13,400 --> 00:41:15,000
And a little scared, too?
586
00:41:15,067 --> 00:41:17,533
Nobody scares me, especially a bum like you.
587
00:41:17,600 --> 00:41:18,867
Don't get fresh with me, Danny.
588
00:41:18,933 --> 00:41:20,467
I'm here because I'm a
friend of your mother's.
589
00:41:20,533 --> 00:41:22,667
Don't con me, Mr. Bell.
590
00:41:23,800 --> 00:41:27,067
Bell. Your name's Bellini,
and you're a wop just like me.
591
00:41:29,667 --> 00:41:33,467
What's the matter, Mr. Bellini?
You ashamed of being a wop?
592
00:41:35,467 --> 00:41:37,467
DANNY: Let me tell you
something, Mr. Bellini.
593
00:41:37,533 --> 00:41:39,800
Don't walk down any dark streets alone.
594
00:41:41,067 --> 00:41:45,000
You haven't got the guts to handle a
skinny broad, much less the Thunderbirds.
595
00:41:45,067 --> 00:41:47,667
You look kind of fruity to me anyway.
596
00:41:47,733 --> 00:41:50,867
And, stay away from my mother, you fake wop!
597
00:41:55,333 --> 00:41:58,400
(CHILDREN CHATTERING)
598
00:42:15,800 --> 00:42:18,400
Excuse me. I'm looking for Zorro.
599
00:42:18,467 --> 00:42:22,533
(SPEAKING IN SPANISH)
600
00:42:25,400 --> 00:42:27,733
Go away, don't bother me. Vamos, Se�or.
601
00:42:34,600 --> 00:42:37,067
Mr. Bell, what brings you to my turf?
602
00:42:37,533 --> 00:42:40,267
- I'd like to talk with Louisa Escalante.
- Why?
603
00:42:40,333 --> 00:42:43,667
She was there the day it happened.
I'd like to talk with her.
604
00:42:46,867 --> 00:42:50,200
(SPEAKING IN SPANISH)
605
00:42:55,467 --> 00:42:58,333
A few minutes. Come on, I'll buy you a beer.
606
00:43:24,200 --> 00:43:26,733
- They think I'm a C-man,
huh? - Why do you think so?
607
00:43:26,800 --> 00:43:29,267
You know, this white shirt, the suit.
608
00:43:29,333 --> 00:43:31,133
You know Harlem, huh?
609
00:43:31,200 --> 00:43:33,000
I used to live here.
610
00:43:33,067 --> 00:43:34,667
They think I'm a cop and
they don't wanna be around
611
00:43:34,733 --> 00:43:36,000
if there's gonna be a pinch.
612
00:43:36,067 --> 00:43:37,600
You know, this place is all right.
613
00:43:37,733 --> 00:43:42,067
A guy gets pinched, he like throws
stuff away. Might land at your feet.
614
00:43:42,133 --> 00:43:44,000
Next thing you know,
you're arrested for holding.
615
00:43:44,067 --> 00:43:46,467
Or maybe even for intent to sell.
616
00:43:46,667 --> 00:43:47,933
Let's have two beers, Miguel.
617
00:43:48,200 --> 00:43:50,733
Good beer here. You'll like it.
618
00:43:50,800 --> 00:43:53,000
So, you're working for Roberto?
619
00:43:53,067 --> 00:43:54,467
Well, that's one way of putting it.
620
00:43:54,533 --> 00:43:56,733
The birds ain't got a chance,
621
00:43:57,733 --> 00:43:59,267
or have they?
622
00:43:59,333 --> 00:44:01,000
I think we've got a very good case.
623
00:44:01,067 --> 00:44:04,067
Yeah? My man, you give it to them good.
624
00:44:04,133 --> 00:44:06,933
The others are bad, but they are the worst.
625
00:44:07,067 --> 00:44:09,067
You don't like them, do you, any of them?
626
00:44:09,133 --> 00:44:11,267
Well, man, put yourself in my shoes.
627
00:44:11,333 --> 00:44:14,333
The niggers look down on
us. The wops look down on us.
628
00:44:14,400 --> 00:44:16,200
The Irish were here before the Indians.
629
00:44:16,267 --> 00:44:18,333
Man, my people are a proud race.
630
00:44:18,400 --> 00:44:20,933
Puerto Rico ain't no African jungle.
631
00:44:21,333 --> 00:44:23,733
And the wops, what the
hell did they ever have?
632
00:44:23,800 --> 00:44:25,933
Mussolini, a big stink.
633
00:44:26,000 --> 00:44:28,133
Michelangelo, so what?
634
00:44:29,533 --> 00:44:30,933
You ever heard of a guy named Picasso?
635
00:44:31,000 --> 00:44:33,533
- Yes.
- Now Pablo Picasso, man,
636
00:44:34,067 --> 00:44:36,667
I went all the way down to the
museum to look at his paintings.
637
00:44:36,733 --> 00:44:38,400
Now, that cat is great.
638
00:44:38,467 --> 00:44:41,067
He's the greatest artist that
ever lived, man. He sings.
639
00:44:41,200 --> 00:44:42,667
And you know...
640
00:44:42,800 --> 00:44:45,400
That's the delivery kid that don't wanna pay.
641
00:44:45,533 --> 00:44:50,067
You know, Picasso, he's got the same
blood in his veins that I got in mine.
642
00:45:40,067 --> 00:45:42,533
And you know the first
fiddle at the Minsk hall?
643
00:45:42,600 --> 00:45:45,667
Puerto Rican. Come on.
644
00:45:56,467 --> 00:45:59,267
That a contribution to your war chest?
645
00:46:00,933 --> 00:46:03,333
Look, we got three square blocks here.
646
00:46:03,400 --> 00:46:05,467
Like this is our island, little Puerto Rico.
647
00:46:05,533 --> 00:46:07,133
You know what I mean, Mr. Bell?
648
00:46:07,200 --> 00:46:08,867
And we are busting to get out.
649
00:46:08,933 --> 00:46:11,000
But while we here, we gotta protect our turf.
650
00:46:11,067 --> 00:46:12,533
People gotta respect it.
651
00:46:12,600 --> 00:46:15,400
And, you know what people respect. Force.
652
00:46:18,067 --> 00:46:21,600
Here, our contribution
to your favorite charity.
653
00:46:23,267 --> 00:46:25,600
You know that that ain't the
point. It ain't the money.
654
00:46:25,667 --> 00:46:29,000
We just can't let people come in and out
of here without knowing whose place it is.
655
00:46:29,067 --> 00:46:31,933
- Like the Thunderbirds?
- Yeah, like the Thunderbirds.
656
00:46:32,000 --> 00:46:34,467
Look what happened to poor Roberto.
657
00:46:34,667 --> 00:46:36,933
Poor, innocent, blind kid
who never did anyone no wrong.
658
00:46:39,000 --> 00:46:42,600
Tell me something. Thunderbirds
know you protect your turf.
659
00:46:42,667 --> 00:46:45,333
How do you explain three of them
coming down here and invading it?
660
00:46:45,400 --> 00:46:47,867
The Thunderbirds are all on junk, that's why.
661
00:46:47,933 --> 00:46:49,333
They're dope addicts, you know.
662
00:46:49,400 --> 00:46:50,400
(WHISTLING)
663
00:46:50,867 --> 00:46:52,333
That's right.
664
00:46:52,867 --> 00:46:54,933
Those boys weren't on junk.
665
00:46:55,400 --> 00:46:59,133
You're right. They weren't
on junk, not then anyway.
666
00:46:59,200 --> 00:47:01,067
But it's that Reardon.
667
00:47:02,333 --> 00:47:05,067
- What about the other two?
- Aposto?
668
00:47:08,533 --> 00:47:10,933
Man, that cat does
anything anybody tells him.
669
00:47:11,000 --> 00:47:12,400
And Di Pace?
670
00:47:14,133 --> 00:47:15,733
He's a wild one.
671
00:47:16,133 --> 00:47:19,467
You know, he helped one of
our guys out of trouble once.
672
00:47:19,533 --> 00:47:22,000
Now why would a wop wanna help a spic?
673
00:47:22,067 --> 00:47:25,000
No. It's that Reardon.
674
00:47:25,067 --> 00:47:27,133
He's got holes in his head.
675
00:47:27,200 --> 00:47:28,467
I put one of them there.
676
00:47:28,600 --> 00:47:32,133
When I smacked that chump, he went
down and I stomp him in the head.
677
00:47:32,667 --> 00:47:34,933
- You know why?
- So he wouldn't get up again.
678
00:47:35,000 --> 00:47:37,400
If he did, you might go
down and he'd stomp you.
679
00:47:40,067 --> 00:47:42,400
You sound like you've been stomped before.
680
00:47:42,467 --> 00:47:43,600
A touch here and there.
681
00:47:45,267 --> 00:47:48,933
Man, this popping is for no one,
man. It's for writing on toilet walls.
682
00:47:49,000 --> 00:47:50,733
It stinks, man, it stinks.
683
00:47:50,800 --> 00:47:52,600
That's what this popping is.
684
00:47:52,733 --> 00:47:55,133
(WHISPERING)
685
00:48:00,000 --> 00:48:02,333
Well, the old lady won't let
her baby come down to this place.
686
00:48:02,400 --> 00:48:05,000
So, you can talk to her at her house. Okay?
687
00:48:06,000 --> 00:48:07,067
What do I owe you, bartender?
688
00:48:07,133 --> 00:48:08,533
- The beer's on me.
- Let me.
689
00:48:08,600 --> 00:48:10,600
I said the beer's on me.
690
00:48:12,533 --> 00:48:13,733
Thanks.
691
00:48:25,600 --> 00:48:27,200
Mrs. Escalante.
692
00:48:27,267 --> 00:48:29,800
I'd like to talk with your daughter.
693
00:48:30,133 --> 00:48:32,467
You can talk to her right here.
694
00:48:35,533 --> 00:48:37,667
Louisa, I'd like to ask you,
695
00:48:38,200 --> 00:48:40,933
just what happened the
night Roberto was killed?
696
00:48:41,000 --> 00:48:42,800
I told the cops many times.
697
00:48:42,867 --> 00:48:44,200
I know, but I...
698
00:48:44,933 --> 00:48:46,867
I'd like you to tell me.
699
00:48:48,733 --> 00:48:49,733
(SPEAKS IN SPANISH)
700
00:48:51,933 --> 00:48:53,533
I was sitting here.
701
00:48:58,067 --> 00:49:00,067
Maria was there.
702
00:49:00,133 --> 00:49:01,467
We saw them coming.
703
00:49:01,533 --> 00:49:04,467
They jumped for Roberto and
started killing him, that's all.
704
00:49:06,800 --> 00:49:08,800
Did Roberto have a knife?
705
00:49:09,267 --> 00:49:10,800
A knife?
706
00:49:10,867 --> 00:49:12,267
(SPEAKS IN SPANISH)
707
00:49:12,933 --> 00:49:14,733
Your policeman keep asking for this knife.
708
00:49:14,800 --> 00:49:16,267
And why? It is not true.
709
00:49:16,333 --> 00:49:18,467
Roberto never have a knife.
710
00:49:19,467 --> 00:49:21,267
Three boys said he pulled a knife.
711
00:49:21,333 --> 00:49:22,933
This is a lie.
712
00:49:23,000 --> 00:49:24,667
A girl saw it, too.
713
00:49:25,267 --> 00:49:28,133
That is not so. Who is this girl?
714
00:49:28,600 --> 00:49:31,133
Louisa, can you tell me something?
715
00:49:32,333 --> 00:49:34,600
This girl said she saw
something that glittered.
716
00:49:34,667 --> 00:49:36,467
What was it that glittered?
717
00:49:36,867 --> 00:49:38,467
- Glitter?
- Shine.
718
00:49:44,333 --> 00:49:46,200
His harmonica.
719
00:49:46,267 --> 00:49:49,267
The harmonica on which he plays his music.
720
00:49:49,400 --> 00:49:51,133
This is what shined.
721
00:49:51,400 --> 00:49:53,267
This is what you mean.
722
00:49:59,333 --> 00:50:01,867
MAN: Ladies and gentlemen,
meet our next governor,
723
00:50:01,933 --> 00:50:03,467
Mr. Dan Cole.
724
00:50:04,400 --> 00:50:06,000
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
725
00:50:06,067 --> 00:50:08,400
Friends, forgive me. I
apologize for being late.
726
00:50:08,467 --> 00:50:10,533
Something about doing a profile on me.
727
00:50:10,600 --> 00:50:12,133
Man, that's great. Just great.
728
00:50:12,200 --> 00:50:13,533
MAN 2: Albany first and then the White House.
729
00:50:13,600 --> 00:50:15,800
Congratulations, sir.
730
00:50:17,267 --> 00:50:20,200
WOMAN: Wonderful, Dan. MAN 3: Food.
731
00:50:20,267 --> 00:50:22,800
- Not too rare for Mr. Cole.
- Make mine rare, please.
732
00:50:22,933 --> 00:50:24,067
Make Mr. Bell's rare.
733
00:50:24,133 --> 00:50:26,533
Hank, do you realize that a
conviction in the Escalante case
734
00:50:26,600 --> 00:50:29,200
is worth a 50,000 plurality
right in this district alone?
735
00:50:29,267 --> 00:50:30,667
50,000?
736
00:50:30,733 --> 00:50:33,200
Well, that's an electrical figure.
737
00:50:33,600 --> 00:50:35,533
I should say you can count
on that plurality, Dan.
738
00:50:35,600 --> 00:50:36,933
Case going that well?
739
00:50:37,000 --> 00:50:39,667
As of now, I see no reason why we
can't get first degree convictions.
740
00:50:39,733 --> 00:50:42,200
You ought to be a shoo-in.
741
00:50:42,267 --> 00:50:44,667
Say, Hank, I got a great idea for publicity.
742
00:50:44,733 --> 00:50:48,933
Why don't you get your picture taken
pulling the switch on the electric chair?
743
00:50:49,067 --> 00:50:52,000
You have a definite
political potential, Hank.
744
00:50:52,067 --> 00:50:55,533
But you must have co-operation,
right straight down the line.
745
00:50:55,667 --> 00:50:57,800
You don't have to worry about me, Mr. Cole.
746
00:50:57,867 --> 00:51:00,667
I'm a great believer in electricity.
747
00:51:00,733 --> 00:51:03,267
My wife majored in sarcasm at Vassar.
748
00:51:03,333 --> 00:51:05,800
Yes. Excuse me, please.
749
00:51:07,333 --> 00:51:08,800
MAN: Now hear this.
750
00:51:10,067 --> 00:51:11,600
Order, everyone.
751
00:51:11,933 --> 00:51:14,933
Before Dan Cole tells us what he thinks,
752
00:51:15,000 --> 00:51:17,000
I shall like to tell you all what I think.
753
00:51:17,067 --> 00:51:18,200
(ALL CHUCKLING)
754
00:51:18,400 --> 00:51:21,867
I think that Dan Cole is
riding on the crest of a wave.
755
00:51:25,133 --> 00:51:28,733
And I'm mighty proud. I'm proud of our party,
756
00:51:29,067 --> 00:51:31,133
and I'm proud of Dan Cole.
757
00:51:32,067 --> 00:51:35,000
And I'm proud of old Hank Bellini.
758
00:51:35,067 --> 00:51:38,933
- Goodbye, Mr. Supreme Court justice.
- We've got a hard campaign coming up
759
00:51:39,000 --> 00:51:41,533
and it's going to mean shoulder
to the wheel work for all of us.
760
00:51:41,600 --> 00:51:45,333
A few thousand more votes, all you
gotta do is electrocute a few kids.
761
00:51:45,533 --> 00:51:47,667
You third-generation progressive.
762
00:51:47,733 --> 00:51:50,200
Sitting up at Vassar getting
your fat checks from daddy.
763
00:51:50,267 --> 00:51:52,133
When was the last time you
had to scrounge for a buck?
764
00:51:52,200 --> 00:51:54,533
You think I can afford this
phony idealism of yours?
765
00:51:54,600 --> 00:51:57,467
I've got a job to do. Now get in that car.
766
00:52:01,867 --> 00:52:03,933
I'll park the car. Be back in a minute.
767
00:52:04,000 --> 00:52:05,400
Don't hurry.
768
00:52:56,600 --> 00:52:58,467
(GASPS)
769
00:53:05,067 --> 00:53:06,867
Help. Hank!
770
00:53:08,067 --> 00:53:09,200
Hank!
771
00:53:12,600 --> 00:53:13,867
Hank!
772
00:53:13,933 --> 00:53:16,600
(SCREAMING)
773
00:53:16,933 --> 00:53:18,600
Karin! Karin!
774
00:53:23,333 --> 00:53:24,533
Karin.
775
00:53:26,000 --> 00:53:28,000
What's the matter, Karin? What happened?
776
00:53:28,067 --> 00:53:30,533
Those boys. Those boys.
777
00:53:31,600 --> 00:53:33,533
(CRYING)
778
00:53:44,667 --> 00:53:46,200
How's the little lady feeling this morning?
779
00:53:46,267 --> 00:53:48,067
How do you think she feels?
780
00:53:48,133 --> 00:53:50,933
We've assigned Kirk and Bronski to
stay with her until this is over.
781
00:53:51,000 --> 00:53:52,600
- How do you do?
- Go on and make yourself at home.
782
00:53:52,667 --> 00:53:55,133
There's lots of coffee on the stove.
783
00:53:55,733 --> 00:53:59,267
Where's that candy store where
the Thunderbirds hang out?
784
00:53:59,333 --> 00:54:01,933
Why? Are you thinking of
going up to Italian Harlem?
785
00:54:02,000 --> 00:54:04,333
Well, it wasn't Puerto Ricans
that paid us a visit last night.
786
00:54:04,400 --> 00:54:08,200
- All right. I'll go with you.
- No, I wanna return this visit personally.
787
00:54:08,333 --> 00:54:10,400
Now why don't we have the
T-birds picked up and brought in?
788
00:54:10,467 --> 00:54:12,200
What's the address?
789
00:54:12,933 --> 00:54:15,400
117th and 1st, Moretti's Candy Store.
790
00:54:19,600 --> 00:54:22,200
Pretty Boy Savoricci. He's your man.
791
00:54:41,267 --> 00:54:42,733
Help you, man?
792
00:54:42,800 --> 00:54:45,333
I understand the Thunderbirds hang out here?
793
00:54:47,067 --> 00:54:49,667
Look, mister, I only sell sodas here.
794
00:54:49,800 --> 00:54:51,133
That's all.
795
00:54:54,400 --> 00:54:55,867
I'm from the D.A.'s office.
796
00:54:55,933 --> 00:54:58,533
I have a list of all the names
and addresses of the Thunderbirds.
797
00:54:58,600 --> 00:55:00,933
Now, I can have them picked up
and brought down for questioning,
798
00:55:01,000 --> 00:55:03,800
or you can tell me where I
can find Pretty Boy Savoricci.
799
00:55:03,867 --> 00:55:06,000
Hey. Hey.
800
00:55:07,733 --> 00:55:09,200
Come on over.
801
00:55:13,467 --> 00:55:16,867
Hey, we were just reading about some
character from the D.A.'s office.
802
00:55:16,933 --> 00:55:19,600
His wife got scared by
some crazy cats last...
803
00:55:20,000 --> 00:55:22,800
Pancho, get the District Attorney a chair.
804
00:55:22,867 --> 00:55:25,133
- No, thanks.
- That ain't polite.
805
00:55:25,467 --> 00:55:27,200
Where's Pretty Boy Savoricci?
806
00:55:27,267 --> 00:55:30,000
You know you got a lot of
courage, Mr. District Attorney.
807
00:55:30,067 --> 00:55:32,533
Coming in here, without no escort.
808
00:55:32,667 --> 00:55:34,667
Are you gonna tell me where I
can find Pretty Boy Savoricci,
809
00:55:34,733 --> 00:55:36,533
or do I have to run you in?
810
00:55:36,600 --> 00:55:39,667
Well now, what exactly was it
you wanted to see him about,
811
00:55:39,733 --> 00:55:41,600
Mr. District Attorney?
812
00:55:42,467 --> 00:55:45,333
- Where's your telephone?
- Hey, Mr. District Attorney,
813
00:55:45,400 --> 00:55:48,267
what's the matter? Can't
you take a little joke?
814
00:55:48,333 --> 00:55:49,800
Don't get excited.
815
00:55:49,867 --> 00:55:52,000
We clown around like this all the time.
816
00:55:52,133 --> 00:55:54,533
Makes life interesting, you know.
817
00:55:54,600 --> 00:55:57,533
(SPEAKING IN ITALIAN)
818
00:56:01,333 --> 00:56:02,867
Never mind, I'll tell him myself.
819
00:56:02,933 --> 00:56:06,267
This imbecile from the D.A.'s
office wants to see him.
820
00:56:06,667 --> 00:56:09,400
(SPEAKING ITALIAN)
821
00:56:14,467 --> 00:56:15,933
Don't you knock?
822
00:56:16,400 --> 00:56:18,133
Don't you got no manners?
823
00:56:18,600 --> 00:56:20,867
HANK: You Pretty Boy Savoricci?
824
00:56:29,867 --> 00:56:32,067
You know why they call
me Pretty Boy, Mr. Bell?
825
00:56:32,133 --> 00:56:33,533
HANK: I can guess.
826
00:56:34,333 --> 00:56:35,933
Cause I'm ugly.
827
00:56:37,600 --> 00:56:40,133
Anybody calls me ugly, they're dead.
828
00:56:41,867 --> 00:56:43,000
Dead.
829
00:56:43,533 --> 00:56:46,733
The table's crooked. Floor's on a bias.
830
00:56:47,667 --> 00:56:48,933
You're a mighty tough character, aren't you?
831
00:56:49,000 --> 00:56:50,467
You've heard of me?
832
00:56:50,533 --> 00:56:53,000
Sixteen times I got my name in the papers.
833
00:56:53,467 --> 00:56:54,733
Most of the time they give the wrong address
834
00:56:54,867 --> 00:56:56,133
or they don't spell the name right.
835
00:56:56,267 --> 00:56:57,667
Savoricci!
836
00:56:59,467 --> 00:57:00,733
You're a...
837
00:57:01,533 --> 00:57:03,333
Are you Italian, too?
838
00:57:04,067 --> 00:57:06,733
Right, Mr. Bell.
839
00:57:08,667 --> 00:57:10,200
Put that back.
840
00:57:12,467 --> 00:57:13,733
Listen, you bum.
841
00:57:13,800 --> 00:57:15,867
Two of your punks came down to
my apartment house last night,
842
00:57:15,933 --> 00:57:17,867
and terrorized my wife.
843
00:57:18,467 --> 00:57:21,000
Yeah, I was sorry to hear about that.
844
00:57:21,467 --> 00:57:25,267
Hotheaded kids, you know how it is.
Can't keep an eye on all of your troops.
845
00:57:25,333 --> 00:57:27,533
They're members of your
gang and you're their leader.
846
00:57:27,600 --> 00:57:30,533
If it ever happens again, I'll
hold you responsible, personally.
847
00:57:30,600 --> 00:57:32,800
Mr. Bell, I said I apologize.
848
00:57:34,000 --> 00:57:36,333
Now, please tell your wife I'm sorry.
849
00:57:36,733 --> 00:57:38,600
Remember what I said.

Thanks, Mr. Bell.
853

Mr. Bell,
854
00:57:49,933 --> 00:57:53,533
it's kind of hard keeping your
boys in line when they hear you
855
00:57:53,600 --> 00:57:55,867
spent an evening drinking with the spics.
856
00:57:55,933 --> 00:58:00,000
We know all about you palling around
with the Horsemen over at the Tres Putas.
857
00:58:00,067 --> 00:58:03,067
They're all on the stuff,
you know that, don't you?
858
00:58:03,200 --> 00:58:04,600
That's where they got their name, Horseman.
859
00:58:04,667 --> 00:58:06,200
Big H for heroin.
860
00:58:07,133 --> 00:58:09,800
If any of our boys get on the junk,
861
00:58:09,867 --> 00:58:11,533
I break their arm.
862
00:58:14,533 --> 00:58:15,933
Cue's warped.
863
00:58:17,133 --> 00:58:19,000
Another thing, Mr. Bell,
864
00:58:19,067 --> 00:58:21,133
you've been approaching their star witness.
865
00:58:21,200 --> 00:58:25,533
Hated to hear that. Those are three
nice guys you're trying to frame.
866
00:58:25,600 --> 00:58:27,800
Those three nice guys committed murder.
867
00:58:27,867 --> 00:58:30,600
Lots of nice guys, all
through history, kill people.
868
00:58:30,667 --> 00:58:33,667
In a war, the more people you
kill, the more medals you get.
869
00:58:33,733 --> 00:58:36,533
Well, that won't make them
any less nice, does it?
870
00:58:36,667 --> 00:58:38,533
What about the guy who invented the H-bomb?
871
00:58:38,600 --> 00:58:42,133
And he got the biggest
medal of all. Some honor.
872
00:58:42,667 --> 00:58:46,933
Like you went around saying, "What
a great guy, he invented cancer."
873
00:58:50,267 --> 00:58:51,733
No, sir, Mr. Bell.
874
00:58:51,800 --> 00:58:53,933
You're making a big mistake
trying to frame those three guys.
875
00:58:54,000 --> 00:58:56,867
They're okay. Every one
of them. They got heart.
876
00:59:02,000 --> 00:59:04,200
Heart to chop down a blind boy,
877
00:59:04,267 --> 00:59:05,867

878
00:59:05,933 --> 00:59:08,067
Maybe that blind kid needed chopping down.
879
00:59:08,200 --> 00:59:09,867
Did you ever think of that, Mr. Bell?
880
00:59:10,000 --> 00:59:12,333
You think being blind made
that kid an angel or something?
881
00:59:12,400 --> 00:59:14,467
Being blind got him killed.
882
00:59:15,067 --> 00:59:18,267
All right. You wanna know
the truth about Escalante?
883
00:59:18,400 --> 00:59:19,933
lt'll rock you.
884
00:59:21,067 --> 00:59:23,333
I thought he was just a blind kid, too.
885
00:59:23,400 --> 00:59:26,200
So, nobody notices. So, he's blind, so what?
886
00:59:26,867 --> 00:59:29,000
When I heard the Horseman were busting out,
887
00:59:29,067 --> 00:59:31,000
popping the gang on the next block.
888
00:59:31,067 --> 00:59:32,733
Had myself a look.

It was a rumble for real, zip
guns, jackhammers, the works.
890
00:59:38,800 --> 00:59:40,933
Then I saw something phony.
891
00:59:41,200 --> 00:59:43,000
Something that didn't fit.
892
00:59:43,133 --> 00:59:44,533
Blind angel.
893
00:59:45,933 --> 00:59:47,200

Roberto wasn't just Louisa's brother.

He was her pickup man.

Louisa's a hooker.

pickup man for his own sister.

01:02:53,400 --> 01:02:55,467
I don't care if he beat
his mother or sold pot.

figure out all the details.

another crack at that Danny Di Pace.

interrogate those boys now.

- Who cares?
- Well, your mother cares for one.

Did you, Danny?
976
01:05:48,800 --> 01:05:49,867
Why?
977
01:05:52,400 --> 01:05:53,733
Why, Danny?
978
01:05:54,133 --> 01:05:56,533
The Thunderbirds are my friends.

01:05:58,600 --> 01:06:02,333
Danny, you put Reardon down
once to save a Puerto Rican boy.

01:06:03,333 --> 01:06:05,867
Now, what happened in between to
make you go along and kill one?
981
01:06:05,933 --> 01:06:08,733
In between I found out
who my friends really are.

01:06:08,800 --> 01:06:11,133
- Your friends got you in here.
- What are you trying to do?

me to turn state's evidence?

- Trust him, you tell me,

to get me to rat on my friends.

01:06:19,067 --> 01:06:22,000
I shouldn't even be talking
to you, coming here with him.

Yeah, you are pretty cozy
together. What are you doing?
988

have walked me home.
991
01:07:18,467 --> 01:07:19,867
Maybe it would've been
smarter if you'd dropped me...
992
01:07:19,933 --> 01:07:21,200
Get in.

01:07:26,267 --> 01:07:28,733

Yeah, some father.

01:10:46,533 --> 01:10:50,400
That's the difference between the
police department and the D.A.'s office.
1021
01:10:50,467 --> 01:10:54,667
You boys protect your pretty faces,
our boys protect their kidneys.
1022
01:10:54,933 --> 01:10:57,200
Stop making jokes, Gunderson.
1023
01:10:58,600 --> 01:11:00,667
Which gang was it, Daddy?
1024
01:11:01,400 --> 01:11:05,333
I don't know, gorgeous. T
- birds or Horsemen,
1025
01:11:06,133 --> 01:11:08,533
may have been either one or both.
1026
01:11:09,133 --> 01:11:10,333
Karin,
1027
01:11:11,533 --> 01:11:17,333
I was choking him and I couldn't stop.
1028
01:11:17,800 --> 01:11:20,067
And I wish to hell you hadn't.
1029
01:11:21,800 --> 01:11:23,333
Hadn't stopped.
1030
01:11:26,333 --> 01:11:29,667
All right, now let's turn him
over on his left side, please.
1031
01:11:33,000 --> 01:11:36,400
Gently, easy. Gently.
1032
01:11:37,867 --> 01:11:39,600
- Karin?
- KARIN: Yes, love.
1033
01:11:41,067 --> 01:11:44,933
He was 15 or 16 years old
1034
01:11:47,533 --> 01:11:51,133
and I was trying with
all my heart to kill him.
1035
01:11:52,267 --> 01:11:53,533
You know?
1036
01:11:54,867 --> 01:11:56,067
I know.
1037
01:11:58,200 --> 01:11:59,267
(GROANS)
1038
01:12:00,867 --> 01:12:03,000
(TELEPHONE RINGING)
1039
01:12:10,733 --> 01:12:13,600
- Yes.
- HARD Y: Hello, Bell. We found the knives.
1040
01:12:13,667 --> 01:12:15,333
What? Who is this?
1041
01:12:15,533 --> 01:12:20,867
- This is Lieutenant Hardy.
- Lieutenant Hardy? Oh, hang on a second.
1042
01:12:49,733 --> 01:12:53,067
- What's the matter, Hardy?
- HARD Y: I said we found the knives.
1043
01:12:53,133 --> 01:12:54,933
You found the knives?
1044
01:12:56,000 --> 01:12:59,400
Is that what you called me for, to
tell me you found those damn knives?
1045
01:12:59,467 --> 01:13:03,000
What's the matter, Bell, you
said these knives were important.
1046
01:13:03,067 --> 01:13:05,533
Well, what could I possibly do with
them, at this hour of the night?
1047
01:13:05,600 --> 01:13:08,800
- Want a suggestion?
- You're not very funny, Hardy.
1048
01:13:09,667 --> 01:13:12,267
- What condition are they in?
- Bloody.
1049
01:13:12,600 --> 01:13:15,933
Well, send them over to the lab. I
want blood type and finger prints.
1050
01:13:16,000 --> 01:13:18,133
- After sunrise.
- Aren't you interested
1051
01:13:18,200 --> 01:13:19,333
in how we found them?
1052
01:13:19,400 --> 01:13:21,400
Not very. Anything else?
1053
01:13:21,600 --> 01:13:25,000
A lady in Kew Gardens found her
three-year- old daughter chewing on the
1054
01:13:25,067 --> 01:13:29,933
handle of one of them in the back
seat of a light green Plymouth.
1055
01:13:30,133 --> 01:13:33,200
You helped a lot with the
description of the car, Bell.
1056
01:13:33,467 --> 01:13:37,067
- Dark Ford or Chevy.
- Hardy, don't ever call me
1057
01:13:37,200 --> 01:13:39,867
- at this hour of the night
again. - Nighty- night.
1058
01:14:11,867 --> 01:14:13,133
Hank?
1059
01:14:14,867 --> 01:14:17,733
Hank, are you all right?
Does anything hurt you?
1060
01:14:17,800 --> 01:14:20,867
I'm all right. Ribs are
a little sore, that's all.
1061
01:14:22,733 --> 01:14:25,067
You still got that lump on your jaw.
1062
01:14:25,133 --> 01:14:28,867
We may have to put a little makeup
on that before you go to trial.
1063
01:14:30,067 --> 01:14:31,733
That's all I need.
1064
01:14:37,000 --> 01:14:41,200
What do you think of your little
victims of social oppression now?
1065
01:14:41,600 --> 01:14:43,200
I don't know what you mean.
1066
01:14:43,267 --> 01:14:46,200
You were pretty sure of yourself
the other night at Cole's party.
1067
01:14:46,267 --> 01:14:49,467
I'm sorry about that, Hank.
I made a fool out of myself.
1068
01:14:49,533 --> 01:14:51,733
Only for Escalante, you said.
1069
01:14:52,133 --> 01:14:54,800
"Darling, I've got a marvelous
idea for a publicity stunt.
1070
01:14:54,867 --> 01:14:58,067
"Get a picture of you pulling
a switch on the electric chair."
1071
01:14:58,133 --> 01:15:00,267
It's not a very funny joke.
1072
01:15:00,533 --> 01:15:01,667
Voice of the martini.
1073
01:15:01,733 --> 01:15:04,800
You weren't that drunk. You
knew what you were saying.
1074
01:15:04,867 --> 01:15:08,200
It's late, let's go to bed, we
can talk about this in the morning.
1075
01:15:08,267 --> 01:15:10,667
Those hoodlums scared you half to death,
1076
01:15:10,867 --> 01:15:12,400
and they almost killed me.
1077
01:15:12,467 --> 01:15:16,133
You still think they need special
consideration, special attention?
1078
01:15:16,400 --> 01:15:19,467
You don't think I condone
that kind of violence, do you?
1079
01:15:19,600 --> 01:15:21,200
I've gone a hundred miles out of my way
1080
01:15:21,267 --> 01:15:23,533
to find out what makes these monsters tick.
1081
01:15:23,600 --> 01:15:26,467
I've been to Harlem time
and again. To their homes.
1082
01:15:26,600 --> 01:15:30,200
They spit in my face. What more
can anyone do? What would you do?
1083
01:15:32,133 --> 01:15:33,867
- I don't know.
- Don't you?
1084
01:15:34,667 --> 01:15:36,133
All right, I made a mistake.
1085
01:15:36,200 --> 01:15:39,067
Was it a mistake? Don't
you believe what you said?
1086
01:15:42,800 --> 01:15:47,200
All right, Hank, I meant every
word I said the other night.
1087
01:15:58,600 --> 01:16:00,600
Something else you said.
1088
01:16:01,200 --> 01:16:02,933
Old Hank Bellini.
1089
01:16:03,933 --> 01:16:05,733
Danny Di Pace said it, too.
1090
01:16:06,200 --> 01:16:09,733
"What's the matter, Mr. Bellini?
You ashamed of being a wop?"
1091
01:16:13,333 --> 01:16:14,933
My old man was ignorant.
1092
01:16:15,000 --> 01:16:18,133
He thought the way to be a good
American was to change your name.
1093
01:16:18,333 --> 01:16:21,467
It was always easy for me to
explain, "My father did it."
1094
01:16:21,533 --> 01:16:25,067
Now I realize I not only went
along with it, I was glad.
1095
01:16:25,867 --> 01:16:29,867
I was secretly glad my name
was Bell instead of Bellini.
1096
01:16:30,933 --> 01:16:33,467
It was part of getting out of Harlem.
1097
01:16:35,933 --> 01:16:40,133
- Like marrying you.
- You married me because you loved me.
1098
01:16:42,467 --> 01:16:44,933
Hank, I know what you're going through now.
1099
01:16:45,000 --> 01:16:47,267
Somehow you'll find the answer.
1100
01:17:09,000 --> 01:17:12,333
"Grand jury of the county of
New York by this indictment

- Bell?
- JUDGE: Does the Defense wish to open?
1109
01:17:47,733 --> 01:17:50,333
This is the lab report on these knives.
1110
01:17:50,400 --> 01:17:53,867
- Your Honor.
- Thanks, Hardy.
1111
01:17:54,733 --> 01:17:56,867
- Aren't you gonna read it?
- When I get ready.
1112
01:17:56,933 --> 01:18:00,467
- Didn't think we'd find them, did you?
- You didn't, they just turned up.
1113
01:18:00,533 --> 01:18:02,667
It's quite interesting, you better read it.
1114
01:18:02,733 --> 01:18:05,933
...it is not fact but a mere accusation.
1115
01:18:06,067 --> 01:18:07,733
I'm sure you will keep your minds open
1116
01:18:07,867 --> 01:18:11,133
until you have heard all
the evidence from both sides,
1117

Forty-nine and a half, West
110th Street, 16 years old.
1122
01:18:30,400 --> 01:18:32,667
Louisa, are you the
sister of the murdered boy?
1123
01:18:32,733 --> 01:18:35,867
RANDOLPH: Objection. JUDGE:
Rephrase your question, Mr. Bell.
1124
01:18:35,933 --> 01:18:38,333
Are you the sister of Roberto Escalante?
1125
01:18:38,733 --> 01:18:39,933
I was.
1126
01:18:40,600 --> 01:18:42,667
On the afternoon of July 25, 1960,
1127
01:18:42,733 --> 01:18:45,000
were you seated on the front
steps of the apartment house
1128
01:18:45,067 --> 01:18:48,267
where you live at 49 and
a half, West 110th Street?
1129
01:18:48,733 --> 01:18:51,267
- Yes, sir.
- HANK: Who was there with you?
1130
01:18:51,800 --> 01:18:54,133
- My brother, Roberto.
- HANK: Anyone else?
1131
01:18:54,200 --> 01:18:57,133
Yes, sir. My friend Maria Creva.
1132
01:18:57,200 --> 01:19:00,333
- What were you doing there?
- I was talking.
1133
01:19:01,533 --> 01:19:03,200
And your brother?
1134
01:19:03,533 --> 01:19:06,400
He was making music on the harmonica.
1135
01:19:07,133 --> 01:19:10,667
HANK: The three of you were seated on
the front steps minding your own business,
1136
01:19:10,800 --> 01:19:13,333
watching the world go by. Is that correct?
1137
01:19:13,467 --> 01:19:16,200
Roberto was not watching the world go by.
1138
01:19:18,067 --> 01:19:20,933
- You mean he was blind?
- LOUISA: Yes.
1139
01:19:21,867 --> 01:19:24,467
- And he was playing the harmonica?
- Yes.
1140
01:19:25,533 --> 01:19:28,400
Did anything happen to disturb that moment?
1141
01:19:32,067 --> 01:19:35,000
- Them! Those boys were...
- HANK: Louisa. Louisa.
1142
01:19:36,200 --> 01:19:38,200
Try to control yourself.
1143
01:19:38,800 --> 01:19:40,333
Sit right down.
1144
01:19:42,933 --> 01:19:47,067
Try to tell me as clearly and as
calmly as you can just what happened.
1145
01:19:50,600 --> 01:19:53,000
Three boys came down the street.
1146
01:19:55,000 --> 01:19:57,067
When they got by our stoop,
1147
01:19:57,933 --> 01:20:00,733
they pulled knives out of their pockets
1148
01:20:01,133 --> 01:20:02,933
and stabbed Roberto.
1149
01:20:04,133 --> 01:20:08,200
They stabbed him many times. They killed him.
1150
01:20:10,600 --> 01:20:12,267
Did he draw a knife?
1151
01:20:12,333 --> 01:20:14,467
He did not have no knife.
1152
01:20:14,533 --> 01:20:18,400
Did he act in any way as though
he were going to attack them?
1153
01:20:19,533 --> 01:20:21,867
Why would he attack those boys?
1154
01:20:23,533 --> 01:20:25,867
He did not know they was there.
1155
01:20:26,000 --> 01:20:27,533
He was blind.
1156
01:20:28,667 --> 01:20:31,333
Why would he attack those three boys?
1157
01:20:39,067 --> 01:20:41,467
What did the boys do then, Louisa?
1158
01:20:42,000 --> 01:20:43,533
They run away.
1159
01:20:43,800 --> 01:20:46,600
Did you get a good look at
them before they ran away?
1160
01:20:46,667 --> 01:20:47,933
Yes, sir.
1161
01:20:48,000 --> 01:20:50,133
If you saw them again,
would you recognize them?
1162
01:20:50,200 --> 01:20:52,933
- Yes, sir.
- Are they in this courtroom?
1163
01:20:54,200 --> 01:20:55,800
Right over there.
1164
01:20:57,933 --> 01:21:01,667
Louisa, just so there can be
no possibility of a mistake.
1165
01:21:02,333 --> 01:21:06,000
Just so the court will know
exactly who you are talking about,
1166
01:21:06,067 --> 01:21:09,667
I want you to leave the witness stand, go
to the three boys who killed your brother,
1167
01:21:09,733 --> 01:21:13,800
and place your hand on the shoulder
of each one to identify them.
1168
01:21:57,200 --> 01:21:59,667
(SHOUTING IN SPANISH)
1169
01:21:59,867 --> 01:22:03,400
(SPEAKING IN SPANISH)
1170
01:22:14,600 --> 01:22:19,267
Miss Escalante, now the court realizes
the extent of your emotional involvement
1171
01:22:19,333 --> 01:22:21,000
- in this case.
- Nice work, Hank.
1172
01:22:23,467 --> 01:22:24,867
Here, read this.
1173
01:22:24,933 --> 01:22:26,267
Quite interesting.
1174
01:22:26,333 --> 01:22:27,667
I'm not through with her yet.
1175
01:22:27,733 --> 01:22:31,333
- Now, if you'd like a short recess...
- LOUISA: No, I'm all right.
1176
01:22:32,800 --> 01:22:34,467
I'll be all right.
1177
01:22:37,133 --> 01:22:39,467
I want to answer the questions.
1178
01:22:39,800 --> 01:22:43,200
Louisa, what is your occupation?
1179
01:22:44,333 --> 01:22:47,133
- Occupation?
- What do you do for a living?
1180
01:22:52,733 --> 01:22:57,200
You're under oath, Louisa, remember
that. What do you do for a living?
1181
01:22:59,400 --> 01:23:00,933
I am a hooker.
1182
01:23:04,400 --> 01:23:06,600
You mean you're a prostitute?
1183
01:23:07,467 --> 01:23:10,200
- Yes.
- When did you become a prostitute?
1184
01:23:11,600 --> 01:23:12,867
I was 14.
1185
01:23:13,133 --> 01:23:15,933
You became a prostitute when you were 14?
1186
01:23:16,933 --> 01:23:19,333
- Yes.
- Were you coerced into it?
1187
01:23:19,400 --> 01:23:22,933
Objection, Your Honor. I see no
purpose to this line of questioning.
1188
01:23:23,000 --> 01:23:25,600
Bell, do you have a point
here, which applies to the case?
1189
01:23:25,667 --> 01:23:28,067
- HANK: I do, Your Honor.
- Proceed.
1190
01:23:31,533 --> 01:23:33,933
Were you coerced into this profession?
1191
01:23:34,000 --> 01:23:35,400
Coerced?
1192
01:23:35,467 --> 01:23:37,800
Did someone, an older man for instance,
1193
01:23:37,933 --> 01:23:40,400
cause you to become a prostitute?
1194
01:23:42,000 --> 01:23:45,267
No, sir. I thought of it myself.
1195
01:23:45,600 --> 01:23:47,800
HANK: Thought of it yourself, why?
1196
01:23:51,200 --> 01:23:54,733
We had no money and my mother was sick.
1197
01:23:54,800 --> 01:23:56,800
Couldn't you get a job?
1198
01:23:57,333 --> 01:23:58,667
I was 14.
1199
01:23:59,267 --> 01:24:03,000
I tried to get a job, they do
not give me a working permit.
1200
01:24:03,267 --> 01:24:06,733
- What about your brother?
- He was blind.
1201
01:24:09,600 --> 01:24:12,000
Did you make some money this way?
1202
01:24:13,000 --> 01:24:14,200
I did.
1203
01:24:14,667 --> 01:24:17,867
Did your mother ask you
where you got the money?
1204
01:24:20,467 --> 01:24:22,600
- Yes.
- What did you tell her?
1205
01:24:25,267 --> 01:24:27,667
I told her I was on the street.
1206
01:24:28,800 --> 01:24:31,400
You told your mother you were a prostitute?
1207
01:24:31,467 --> 01:24:33,400
- Yes.
- What did she say?
1208
01:24:37,400 --> 01:24:38,800
She said,
1209
01:24:41,400 --> 01:24:43,467
"Why didn't we let her die?"
1210
01:24:44,933 --> 01:24:48,000
Mr. Bell, why are you pursuing this line?
1211
01:24:48,800 --> 01:24:51,733
Your Honor, I'm trying to get at the truth.
1212
01:24:52,467 --> 01:24:54,067
Thank you, Louisa.
1213
01:24:54,133 --> 01:24:55,800
No more questions.
1214
01:24:55,867 --> 01:24:58,800
- Your witness, Mr. Randolph.
- RANDOLPH: No questions.
1215
01:25:08,600 --> 01:25:10,400
JUDGE: Is the Defense ready?
1216
01:25:10,800 --> 01:25:14,200
Your Honor, the Defense
requests a short recess.
1217
01:25:15,133 --> 01:25:17,600
JUDGE: Court will recess for 10 minutes.
1218
01:25:28,133 --> 01:25:30,200
That was a masterful presentation, Hank.
1219
01:25:30,267 --> 01:25:31,867
Come on out to the hall. Have
your picture taken with me.
1220
01:25:31,933 --> 01:25:33,533
You go ahead, Dan. I want to look this over.
1221
01:25:33,600 --> 01:25:35,200
We're ready, Dan.
1222
01:25:37,400 --> 01:25:38,933
That was nice.
1223
01:25:46,867 --> 01:25:49,800
MAN: State your name, age and address.
1224
01:25:49,867 --> 01:25:54,200
ANTHONY: Anthony Aposto,
16, and what was that?
1225
01:25:54,667 --> 01:25:56,133
MAN: Your address.
1226
01:25:58,933 --> 01:26:01,667
The court has Anthony Aposto's address.
1227
01:26:02,400 --> 01:26:04,067
Anthony, sit down.
1228
01:26:08,267 --> 01:26:12,000
Anthony Aposto, are you also known as Batman?
1229
01:26:13,067 --> 01:26:16,867
- Yeah.
- Well, why do they call you Batman?
1230
01:26:20,200 --> 01:26:23,133
I don't know, everybody calls me Batman.
1231
01:26:23,333 --> 01:26:25,467
Where did you get the name?
1232
01:26:26,800 --> 01:26:29,467
- Batman, he's in the comics.
- I see.
1233
01:26:30,600 --> 01:26:33,200
Do you like reading comic books, Anthony?
1234
01:26:33,733 --> 01:26:38,200
- Yeah, sure I like the pictures, you know?
- What about the words, Anthony?
1235
01:26:39,467 --> 01:26:41,933
Well, they're okay too, I guess, yeah.
1236
01:26:42,000 --> 01:26:45,800
Well then, perhaps you have a
little trouble with the words.
1237
01:26:49,400 --> 01:26:51,933
You know, I'm not such a hot reader.
1238
01:26:52,600 --> 01:26:55,600
Anthony, what do you like about Batman?
1239
01:27:03,800 --> 01:27:08,067
Batman. Well, he ain't
afraid of nothing, you know.
1240
01:27:09,533 --> 01:27:14,067
And, well, he wears this
cool black suit all the time.
1241
01:27:15,267 --> 01:27:18,533
And he's always fighting, you know.
1242
01:27:18,933 --> 01:27:21,200
Do you like to fight, Batman?
1243
01:27:22,600 --> 01:27:25,400
- Sure.
- Are you a good fighter, Batman?
1244
01:27:25,467 --> 01:27:28,400
Oh, boy. My old man will tell you. You
know something, I pack a hell of a wallop.
1245
01:27:28,467 --> 01:27:30,067
- That's right.
- Why?
1246
01:27:30,133 --> 01:27:33,133
- Has he watched you?
- No, I walloped him once.
1247
01:27:34,800 --> 01:27:37,267
Why do you like to fight, Batman?
1248
01:27:39,933 --> 01:27:41,800
I don't know why.
1249
01:27:41,867 --> 01:27:43,533
Try to think why.
1250
01:27:45,733 --> 01:27:47,133
Why what?
1251
01:27:48,533 --> 01:27:51,333
Just try to think why you like to fight.
1252
01:27:51,467 --> 01:27:53,733
Because it makes me feel good.
1253
01:27:53,800 --> 01:27:56,533
You really got your work
cut out for you here.
1254
01:27:56,600 --> 01:27:59,533
He's even got me convinced this kid is a nut.
1255
01:27:59,600 --> 01:28:05,667
Anthony, if this court frees you,
what will you do with your life?
1256
01:28:07,067 --> 01:28:09,267
Am I going to get sprung?
1257
01:28:09,400 --> 01:28:11,867
Just answer the question, Anthony.
1258
01:28:12,200 --> 01:28:14,667
- The question?
- The question.
1259
01:28:15,467 --> 01:28:19,400
If this court frees you, what
will you do with your life?
1260
01:28:22,400 --> 01:28:23,867
I don't know.
1261
01:28:24,733 --> 01:28:29,533
If you were released this afternoon,
what would you do for the rest of the day?
1262
01:28:31,200 --> 01:28:34,267
- I'd go back to the block.
- And tomorrow?
1263
01:28:38,533 --> 01:28:41,133
- Tomorrow?
- Yes. Tomorrow.
1264
01:28:43,267 --> 01:28:46,000
I don't know. I mean, I gotta
know what I do tomorrow? You know.
1265
01:28:46,067 --> 01:28:48,933
RANDOLPH: Anthony, please
try to answer the question.
1266
01:28:51,667 --> 01:28:53,200
I don't know.
1267
01:28:58,533 --> 01:29:02,667
Dr. Walsh, you heard Anthony Aposto testify
1268
01:29:02,733 --> 01:29:05,533
that he likes to fight,
because it makes him feel good.
1269
01:29:05,600 --> 01:29:08,133
Could you explain this testimony to the jury?
1270
01:29:08,200 --> 01:29:10,133
In laymen's terms, please.
1271
01:29:10,200 --> 01:29:14,067
Aposto's gratification from
fighting stems from two sources.
1272
01:29:14,867 --> 01:29:17,467
One, fighting gives him status.
1273
01:29:18,067 --> 01:29:22,933
And two, in laymen's
terms, Aposto enjoys pain.
1274
01:29:23,733 --> 01:29:26,467
Dr. Walsh, do you believe Anthony Aposto
1275
01:29:26,533 --> 01:29:30,067
to be capable of an act, say
an act of extreme violence,
1276
01:29:30,133 --> 01:29:32,400
which requires premeditation?
1277
01:29:33,267 --> 01:29:37,133
Premeditation would not be
consistent with Aposto's pattern.
1278
01:29:40,400 --> 01:29:43,933
- The state of New York... May I?
- By all means.
1279
01:29:44,267 --> 01:29:46,733
...is your employer, is it not, Dr. Walsh?
1280
01:29:46,800 --> 01:29:48,600
I work for the state, yes.
1281
01:29:48,667 --> 01:29:52,533
You realize you are testifying
against the state of New York.
1282
01:29:52,600 --> 01:29:54,133
(CHUCKLES)
1283
01:29:54,333 --> 01:29:55,933
I realize that.
1284
01:29:56,200 --> 01:30:00,733
Doesn't it frighten you to be testifying
in opposition to your employer?
1285
01:30:01,533 --> 01:30:03,067
The truth is the truth.
1286
01:30:03,133 --> 01:30:04,867
(WHISPERING) We've gotta
get our own man up there
1287
01:30:04,933 --> 01:30:07,000
and demolish that testimony and do it now.
1288
01:30:07,067 --> 01:30:09,600
Later, it won't have any impact.
1289
01:30:09,667 --> 01:30:11,133
HANK: Dr. Andrade,
1290
01:30:11,200 --> 01:30:13,933
as a qualified psychiatrist, I'd
like to talk to you for a moment
1291
01:30:14,000 --> 01:30:15,933
about Arthur Reardon.
1292
01:30:16,000 --> 01:30:18,733
In your report to our office,
you indicated that he had
1293
01:30:18,867 --> 01:30:21,333
more than normal aggression,
I believe you said.
1294
01:30:21,400 --> 01:30:24,933
- Along with delusions of grandeur.
- Yes, those are parts of my findings.
1295
01:30:25,000 --> 01:30:29,067
He had fantasies about becoming a
very important man in his neighborhood.
1296
01:30:29,133 --> 01:30:33,800
He dreamed about growing up to be a
bigger man in his field than Al Capone.
1297
01:30:34,133 --> 01:30:35,400
Yes, he did.
1298
01:30:35,467 --> 01:30:37,733
Doctor, you are a very
experienced psychiatrist.
1299
01:30:37,800 --> 01:30:40,667
In your opinion, your professional opinion,
1300
01:30:40,733 --> 01:30:44,733
what is the cause of these
unmanageable aggressions and delusions?
1301
01:30:45,200 --> 01:30:46,600
- Fear.
- Fear?
1302
01:30:46,667 --> 01:30:49,400
Arthur Reardon is a very
frightened young man.
1303
01:30:49,467 --> 01:30:51,133
Would you say as a generalization he's
1304
01:30:51,267 --> 01:30:54,667
insecure or as a specific,
that he is a coward?
1305
01:30:54,733 --> 01:30:57,133
Well, a layman might so describe him. Yes.
1306
01:30:57,200 --> 01:30:59,000
A coward and a bully.
1307
01:30:59,067 --> 01:31:01,467
I don't know what the word
bully means to you, Mr. Bell.
1308
01:31:01,533 --> 01:31:04,000
A bully is a person so cowardly
1309
01:31:04,067 --> 01:31:07,200
that he attacks only those
who cannot defend themselves.
1310
01:31:07,867 --> 01:31:09,467
Like a blind boy.
1311
01:31:11,000 --> 01:31:14,133
I would call him a bully and a coward.
1312
01:31:14,200 --> 01:31:16,600
It's a lie, you stinking pig!
1313
01:31:16,667 --> 01:31:19,067
Order. Order!
1314
01:31:19,133 --> 01:31:20,933
Arthur, sit down!
1315
01:31:21,000 --> 01:31:24,200
Order, let there be order in this court.
1316
01:31:24,267 --> 01:31:27,333
Father, he's making me sick.
1317
01:31:27,467 --> 01:31:31,267
I instruct the court attendants
that in the event of another outburst
1318
01:31:31,333 --> 01:31:32,867
from this defendant,
1319
01:31:32,933 --> 01:31:35,400
they are to bind him and gag him,
1320
01:31:35,467 --> 01:31:38,000
so that this trial will
not be interrupted again.
1321
01:31:38,067 --> 01:31:41,200
Nobody's gagging me! This country
has free speech, doesn't it?
1322
01:31:41,267 --> 01:31:43,867
Why are they trying to tell
me what I can say and do?
1323
01:31:43,933 --> 01:31:45,467
Gag the defendant.
1324
01:31:45,533 --> 01:31:48,600
Why are you trying to
gag me? I got my rights.
1325
01:31:49,133 --> 01:31:52,467
(SHOUTING)
1326
01:32:06,267 --> 01:32:09,467
Hank, this is gonna work against us.
1327
01:32:09,533 --> 01:32:14,200
This makes him look like a hotheaded
maniac, instead of a cold-blooded killer.
1328
01:32:14,267 --> 01:32:18,267
We're going to have a terrible
time proving premeditation now.
1329
01:32:19,800 --> 01:32:21,267
Dr. Andrade,
1330
01:32:22,000 --> 01:32:25,267
you testified that in
your professional opinion
1331
01:32:25,333 --> 01:32:28,867
Anthony Aposto was aware of the
quality and nature of his act
1332
01:32:28,933 --> 01:32:30,667
when he stabbed Roberto Escalante.
1333
01:32:30,800 --> 01:32:32,333
RANDOLPH: Objection!
1334
01:32:32,400 --> 01:32:34,600
When and if he stabbed Roberto Escalante.
1335
01:32:34,733 --> 01:32:36,933
- That is correct.
- Doctor,
1336
01:32:38,800 --> 01:32:42,800
how can you say what was definitely
in the mind of Anthony Aposto
1337
01:32:42,867 --> 01:32:44,933
when and if he stabbed another boy?
1338
01:32:45,000 --> 01:32:48,067
So far science has found
no means of determining
1339
01:32:48,133 --> 01:32:51,067
what definitely goes on in the mind of a man.
1340
01:32:53,400 --> 01:32:56,267
If Anthony Aposto did not
know what he was doing,
1341
01:32:56,800 --> 01:32:59,333
then he'd be innocent in the
eyes of the law, wouldn't he?
1342
01:32:59,400 --> 01:33:02,533
I'm afraid I can't answer
questions about the law.
1343
01:33:02,600 --> 01:33:04,533
Let me put it this way, Doctor.
1344
01:33:04,600 --> 01:33:07,600
Is there in your mind the
slightest shadow of a doubt
1345
01:33:08,533 --> 01:33:10,133
that Anthony Aposto knew what he was doing
1346
01:33:10,267 --> 01:33:12,133
when he stabbed Roberto Escalante?
1347
01:33:12,200 --> 01:33:14,867
But I have no psychic powers.
1348
01:33:14,933 --> 01:33:16,800
I can't answer your question.
1349
01:33:16,867 --> 01:33:19,867
You are aware that under the
laws of the United States,
1350
01:33:19,933 --> 01:33:22,933
a man is presumed innocent till proven
guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.
1351
01:33:23,000 --> 01:33:24,800
Oh yes, I am.
1352
01:33:24,867 --> 01:33:26,800
Thank you, Doctor. No more questions.
1353
01:33:26,867 --> 01:33:29,667
That's all, Doctor. Call the next witness.
1354
01:33:29,733 --> 01:33:31,667
RANDOLPH: We call Daniel Di Pace.
1355
01:33:35,600 --> 01:33:37,000
(WHISPERING) What are you doing?
1356
01:33:37,067 --> 01:33:39,667
- I'm looking for the truth.
- There's a proper procedure
1357
01:33:39,733 --> 01:33:41,667
for arriving at the truth.
1358
01:33:41,733 --> 01:33:43,600
I didn't put you on this case to lose it.
1359
01:33:43,667 --> 01:33:45,667
I'm looking for justice.
1360
01:33:45,800 --> 01:33:48,133
The jury decides justice.
1361
01:33:49,933 --> 01:33:52,800
I'm taking you off this case, Hank.
1362
01:33:53,733 --> 01:33:55,267
Do that, Dan.
1363
01:33:55,333 --> 01:33:57,267
I'd like to hear you
explain it to the newspapers.
1364
01:33:57,333 --> 01:34:00,467
RANDOLPH: Would you have stabbed
him if he hadn't drawn his knife?
1365
01:34:00,533 --> 01:34:01,600
No, sir.
1366
01:34:01,667 --> 01:34:04,533
So you only stabbed him to defend yourself.
1367
01:34:05,467 --> 01:34:07,133
Thank you, Danny.
1368
01:34:07,333 --> 01:34:09,200
Your witness, Mr. Bell.
1369
01:34:16,267 --> 01:34:19,867
Your Honor, I have here three
knives I'd like to place in evidence.
1370
01:34:20,533 --> 01:34:24,267
Also, a sworn statement
by one Angela Rugiello,
1371
01:34:24,333 --> 01:34:27,333
to the effect that these are the
knives handed her by the defendants,
1372
01:34:27,400 --> 01:34:29,200
on July 25.
1373
01:34:29,267 --> 01:34:31,667
Her statement goes on to
say that Angela Rugiello
1374
01:34:31,733 --> 01:34:33,600
wrapped the knives in a newspaper,
1375
01:34:33,667 --> 01:34:36,333
and threw them in the backseat of
an automobile that same afternoon,
1376
01:34:36,400 --> 01:34:39,067
in the same condition in
which they were given to her.
1377
01:34:39,133 --> 01:34:41,800
And finally, I have a police lab report,
1378
01:34:41,867 --> 01:34:44,133
on the condition of the
knives when they were found.
1379
01:34:44,200 --> 01:34:47,267
I would like to place this in
evidence, but at the proper time.
1380
01:34:47,333 --> 01:34:49,000
May I have the knives, please?
1381
01:34:49,133 --> 01:34:50,867
Mark this statement.
1382
01:34:55,733 --> 01:34:58,400
- You recognize these knives, Danny?
- No.
1383
01:35:00,333 --> 01:35:02,000
You're under oath, Danny.
1384
01:35:02,067 --> 01:35:04,333
Don't add perjury to the charge against you.
1385
01:35:04,400 --> 01:35:06,933
Is that any worse than
going to the chair, huh?
1386
01:35:07,000 --> 01:35:08,933
I don't recognize them!
1387
01:35:13,667 --> 01:35:16,200
- This your knife?
- I don't remember.
1388
01:35:18,733 --> 01:35:20,133
This one?
1389
01:35:21,267 --> 01:35:22,867
I don't remember.
1390
01:35:27,067 --> 01:35:28,800
What about this one?
1391
01:35:28,867 --> 01:35:30,067
I don't remember.
1392
01:35:30,133 --> 01:35:33,267
Don't you recognize any of these
knives? Any one of them at all?
1393
01:35:33,333 --> 01:35:35,200
Objection! Badgering the witness.
1394
01:35:35,267 --> 01:35:37,533
Witness has already answered the question.
1395
01:35:37,600 --> 01:35:39,067
JUDGE: Objection sustained.
1396
01:35:39,133 --> 01:35:42,000
Danny, are you afraid to
admit which knife is yours?
1397
01:35:42,067 --> 01:35:43,333
No, I'm not afraid!
1398
01:35:43,400 --> 01:35:45,600
Then why can't you recognize
your knife when you see it?
1399
01:35:45,667 --> 01:35:49,000
RANDOLPH: Objection! Counsel is
assuming a fact not in evidence.
1400
01:35:49,067 --> 01:35:53,067
There is no testimony linking any
of the knives with the witness.
1401
01:35:53,200 --> 01:35:54,867
JUDGE: I'll sustain that.
1402
01:35:56,067 --> 01:35:59,467
Danny, you're a very bright
young man, with a very high IQ.
1403
01:35:59,533 --> 01:36:02,600
You think the jury is going to believe
that you can't recognize your knife
1404
01:36:02,667 --> 01:36:03,867
when you see it?
1405
01:36:03,933 --> 01:36:06,867
I don't care whether they believe it or not.
1406
01:36:07,333 --> 01:36:09,667
Who spotted Roberto Escalante first?
1407
01:36:09,733 --> 01:36:11,933
- I don't remember.
- Who stabbed him first?
1408
01:36:12,000 --> 01:36:13,667
DANNY: We all stabbed him at the same time.
1409
01:36:13,733 --> 01:36:15,200
How many times did you stab him?
1410
01:36:15,267 --> 01:36:17,467
- I don't remember!
- I saw you at Welfare Island,
1411
01:36:17,533 --> 01:36:20,800
you told me you stabbed
Roberto Escalante four times!
1412
01:36:21,000 --> 01:36:22,467
I must object!
1413
01:36:22,533 --> 01:36:25,067
I'll rephrase the question, Your Honor.
1414
01:36:25,200 --> 01:36:26,600
Danny,
1415
01:36:26,667 --> 01:36:30,600
did you or did you not confess
that you stabbed Roberto Escalante?
1416
01:36:30,733 --> 01:36:32,400
Yeah. In self-defense.
1417
01:36:32,467 --> 01:36:35,933
Did you also not confess that
you stabbed him four times?
1418
01:36:36,000 --> 01:36:37,933
- Answer yes or no!
- RANDOLPH: Objection.
1419
01:36:38,000 --> 01:36:40,600
Witness can always explain his answer.
1420
01:36:40,667 --> 01:36:43,867
JUDGE: The witness will please
answer the last question.
1421
01:36:44,733 --> 01:36:47,133
Yeah! I guess I said that.
1422
01:36:47,200 --> 01:36:50,000
- And you stabbed him with this knife?
- RANDOLPH: I object!
1423
01:36:50,067 --> 01:36:51,800
- Answer yes or no!
- RANDOLPH: I object!
1424
01:36:51,867 --> 01:36:54,467
Counsel has still failed
to identify the knife.
1425
01:36:54,533 --> 01:36:58,267
I cannot question this witness properly,
if my every word is going to be examined!
1426
01:36:58,333 --> 01:37:00,000
RANDOLPH: You're bullying the witness!
1427
01:37:00,133 --> 01:37:01,667
Damn it, you put him on the
witness stand, didn't you?
1428
01:37:01,800 --> 01:37:05,467
Mr. Bell, I must caution you
about profanity in this courtroom.
1429
01:37:05,533 --> 01:37:07,000
Your Honor, I'm sorry.
1430
01:37:07,133 --> 01:37:09,733
But I think I'm on the verge of
establishing which knife is his.
1431
01:37:09,800 --> 01:37:12,133
If I may proceed, please.
1432
01:37:12,200 --> 01:37:14,600
Witness will answer the last question.
1433
01:37:14,667 --> 01:37:16,667
Read back the last question.
1434
01:37:16,733 --> 01:37:19,267
CLERK: "And you stabbed him with this knife."
1435
01:37:21,867 --> 01:37:23,333
Well, Danny?
1436
01:37:23,400 --> 01:37:25,800
- Look, what if it is my?
- Answer the question, yes or no!
1437
01:37:25,867 --> 01:37:28,000
- Is this your knife?
- Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes!
1438
01:37:28,067 --> 01:37:30,133
- And how many times did you stab him?
- Four! Four!
1439
01:37:30,200 --> 01:37:32,200
- Why, Danny?
- I told you he came at me...
1440
01:37:32,333 --> 01:37:34,200
- Why Danny?
- I don't know!
1441
01:37:34,267 --> 01:37:36,600
- Why? Why?
- Because the others,
1442
01:37:39,400 --> 01:37:41,200
because the others, they...
1443
01:37:41,267 --> 01:37:43,467
- Because the others stabbed him.
- Yes! Yes! And they...
1444
01:37:43,533 --> 01:37:46,867
- So you stabbed him?
- Yes, I stabbed him four times!
1445
01:37:46,933 --> 01:37:49,800
Look, what do you want
from me? I stabbed him!
1446
01:37:49,867 --> 01:37:51,533
I stabbed him! I stabbed him!
1447
01:37:51,600 --> 01:37:53,267
You're lying, Danny.
1448
01:37:53,333 --> 01:37:55,267
You never stabbed him.
1449
01:37:56,133 --> 01:37:58,733
Your Honor. I want this
report placed in evidence.
1450
01:37:58,800 --> 01:38:01,867
It's an official report from the
criminal identification laboratory.
1451
01:38:01,933 --> 01:38:06,200
It states that the switchblade knife,
the one with the black and white handle,
1452
01:38:06,333 --> 01:38:10,400
the one you identified as your knife, did
not have a single trace of blood on it.
1453
01:38:10,467 --> 01:38:12,867
Your knife, Danny. And not
a single trace of blood.
1454
01:38:12,933 --> 01:38:15,600
- No! No! I wiped it clean.
- Nobody can wipe it that clean.
1455
01:38:15,667 --> 01:38:17,800
Nobody can wipe it so
clean that the police lab
1456
01:38:17,867 --> 01:38:20,000
wouldn't find a single trace of blood on it.
1457
01:38:20,067 --> 01:38:22,400
No, Danny. You never stabbed him at all.
1458
01:38:22,467 --> 01:38:24,333
- You only pretended to stab him!
- No! No!
1459
01:38:24,400 --> 01:38:27,933
You turned the handle of the blade around
and you stabbed him here on the shoulder!
1460
01:38:28,000 --> 01:38:31,733
No! No! I stabbed him! I stabbed him!
1461
01:38:31,800 --> 01:38:35,000
You're lying, Danny. Danny,
what are you afraid of?
1462
01:38:36,933 --> 01:38:37,933
(SOBBING)
1463
01:38:38,267 --> 01:38:40,867
Danny. Did you kill Roberto Escalante?
1464
01:38:43,200 --> 01:38:45,667
I never killed anybody in my life.
1465
01:38:47,000 --> 01:38:51,267
Never, never. Oh, God! Never.
1466
01:38:53,067 --> 01:38:55,267
All right, Danny. All right.
1467
01:38:57,200 --> 01:38:58,733
I hate crying.
1468
01:39:00,200 --> 01:39:02,000
Crying is for babies.
1469
01:39:02,067 --> 01:39:03,933
Crying is for men, too.
1470
01:39:08,600 --> 01:39:10,800
Who killed Roberto Escalante?
1471
01:39:12,000 --> 01:39:14,800
Anthony Aposto, a mental defective
1472
01:39:14,867 --> 01:39:17,400
that an efficient society would
have taken off the streets long ago?
1473
01:39:17,467 --> 01:39:22,067
Arthur Reardon? A young man so
crippled by the pressures and poverty
1474
01:39:22,133 --> 01:39:23,933
of slum life that...
1475
01:39:24,400 --> 01:39:27,667
That his rage makes him even
more dangerous than Aposto,
1476
01:39:27,733 --> 01:39:30,800
and less capable of controlling his emotions?
1477
01:39:33,000 --> 01:39:34,533
Or Danny Di Pace.
1478
01:39:35,933 --> 01:39:39,533
Whose values are so twisted
by the strange social order
1479
01:39:40,267 --> 01:39:42,733
that he's afraid to admit he didn't kill.
1480
01:39:42,800 --> 01:39:45,267
Mr. Bell, you're out of order.
1481
01:39:48,733 --> 01:39:50,333
Sorry, Your Honor.
1482
01:39:51,067 --> 01:39:52,933
No further questions.
1483
01:39:54,133 --> 01:39:55,600
JUDGE: Mr. Randolph?
1484
01:39:58,400 --> 01:40:01,600
Your Honor, the Defense rests.
1485
01:40:02,667 --> 01:40:04,600
JUDGE: This court will recess.
1486
01:40:04,667 --> 01:40:06,400
(CHATTERING)
1487
01:40:06,467 --> 01:40:09,933
Mr. Bell, my newspaper is very
disappointed in your performance.
1488
01:40:10,000 --> 01:40:12,000
Tell me, did your friendship
with Mary Di Pace...
1489
01:40:12,067 --> 01:40:14,733
Go out and write anything
you want. No comments!
1490
01:40:14,800 --> 01:40:18,467
Mr. Cole, are you expecting to
be sent to the Governor's mansion
1491
01:40:18,533 --> 01:40:21,067
on the prestige you're
going to get from this case?
1492
01:40:21,133 --> 01:40:23,067
- Any statements?
- Just one.
1493
01:40:23,133 --> 01:40:25,000
Keep out of my sight.
1494
01:40:36,800 --> 01:40:38,467
Arthur Reardon,
1495
01:40:38,533 --> 01:40:40,600
the sentence of this court is
1496
01:40:40,667 --> 01:40:43,733
that you be confined in
the Elmira Reception Center,
1497
01:40:43,800 --> 01:40:49,000
for a period of not less than 20 years
and no more than your natural life.
1498
01:40:51,933 --> 01:40:53,467
Anthony Aposto,
1499
01:40:54,333 --> 01:40:58,933
this court commits you to the Matteawan
State Hospital for the criminally insane,
1500
01:40:59,000 --> 01:41:04,467
until such a time as you may be judged
ready to again take your place in society.
1501
01:41:07,133 --> 01:41:09,000
Daniel Di Pace,
1502
01:41:09,533 --> 01:41:12,733
you've acted in concert with
the other two defendants,
1503
01:41:13,133 --> 01:41:15,867
and as such, you became an accomplice.
1504
01:41:17,333 --> 01:41:20,667
However, the court has seen
fit to be lenient in your case,
1505
01:41:21,200 --> 01:41:24,067
finds you guilty of third degree assault.
1506
01:41:24,667 --> 01:41:27,867
We're gonna send you to the
boy's prison at Elmira, New York,
1507
01:41:28,000 --> 01:41:30,000
for a period of one year.
1508
01:41:30,533 --> 01:41:35,400
For classification,
treatment and rehabilitation.
1509
01:41:35,533 --> 01:41:37,533
This court is adjourned.
1510
01:41:54,467 --> 01:41:55,600
Hank?
1511
01:41:57,667 --> 01:42:00,667
Hank. Hank.
1512
01:42:00,733 --> 01:42:01,733
(CRYING)
1513
01:42:10,933 --> 01:42:12,867
And what about my son?
1514
01:42:13,333 --> 01:42:16,200
Is this your justice for a dead blind boy?
1515
01:42:17,800 --> 01:42:20,600
