Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:01,334 --> 00:00:04,428
In the criminal justice
system, the people are represented
2
00:00:04,471 --> 00:00:07,031
by two separate yet
equally important groups...
3
00:00:07,073 --> 00:00:08,938
the police
who investigate crime,
4
00:00:08,975 --> 00:00:11,944
and the district attorneys
who prosecute the offenders.
5
00:00:11,978 --> 00:00:13,639
These are their stories.
6
00:00:22,856 --> 00:00:25,120
Course 1502,
7
00:00:25,158 --> 00:00:27,490
wednesdays, 7:00.
8
00:00:27,527 --> 00:00:29,586
A college degree isn't
good enough for you.
9
00:00:30,730 --> 00:00:32,698
Something wrong
with me improving myself?
10
00:00:32,732 --> 00:00:35,200
Improve my stomach, will you?
11
00:00:35,235 --> 00:00:37,100
Roast beef on rye, coffee...
12
00:00:37,137 --> 00:00:38,866
Very light, no sugar,
13
00:00:38,905 --> 00:00:40,873
no mayo, no mustard.
14
00:00:40,907 --> 00:00:42,397
Very good.
15
00:00:47,347 --> 00:00:48,837
I ain't talking, first of all.
16
00:00:48,882 --> 00:00:50,816
Let's get the stuff.
You'll get your money back.
17
00:00:50,850 --> 00:00:52,181
Yo- Don't you
put your hands...
18
00:00:52,218 --> 00:00:54,015
Freddo!
19
00:01:09,903 --> 00:01:11,894
Go! Go, man!
Go!
20
00:01:12,906 --> 00:01:14,373
Hold it!
21
00:01:15,375 --> 00:01:17,366
Don't move!
22
00:01:18,611 --> 00:01:20,670
Don't even breathe.
23
00:01:24,017 --> 00:01:26,485
Drop down! Now!
24
00:01:45,872 --> 00:01:48,033
He drew on me.
25
00:02:05,925 --> 00:02:07,586
Call it in, Freddo.
26
00:02:09,796 --> 00:02:11,821
Now, Freddo!
27
00:02:13,566 --> 00:02:15,363
Kid's dead.
28
00:03:48,161 --> 00:03:50,391
What about your kid?
29
00:03:50,430 --> 00:03:52,489
Kid I was after I
never got a decent look at.
30
00:03:52,532 --> 00:03:55,865
He was young-
13, 14.
31
00:03:55,902 --> 00:03:57,995
What about the one that
got away from Freddo?
32
00:03:58,037 --> 00:04:00,028
Him I saw.
He had a blotch,
33
00:04:00,073 --> 00:04:01,870
you know, a birthmark,
on his face,
34
00:04:01,908 --> 00:04:04,809
running from here down to here.
35
00:04:10,883 --> 00:04:12,942
Somebody heard that shot.
36
00:04:12,986 --> 00:04:15,955
In this neighborhood? You couldn't
get a witness to a sunrise.
37
00:04:15,989 --> 00:04:19,288
Bang on a fewwindows.
ID on the dead kid?
38
00:04:19,325 --> 00:04:21,919
Nothing.
Great.
39
00:04:21,961 --> 00:04:24,725
Freddo, go home,
get some sleep.
40
00:04:24,764 --> 00:04:26,561
Yeah, sleep.
41
00:04:29,335 --> 00:04:32,736
Snitch told him drug sale's
going on down the block.
42
00:04:32,772 --> 00:04:34,399
No muss, no fuss.
43
00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:36,340
Punk drew on him.
Self-defense.
44
00:04:36,376 --> 00:04:38,276
That's it?
Wrap it up?
45
00:04:38,311 --> 00:04:39,972
As far as Internal Affairs
is concerned,
46
00:04:40,013 --> 00:04:41,640
yeah, it's closed.
47
00:04:41,681 --> 00:04:43,581
We've still got to do
our own investigation.
48
00:04:43,616 --> 00:04:45,982
We're all one family
here, Sergeant.
49
00:04:46,019 --> 00:04:47,919
You an only child?
50
00:04:47,954 --> 00:04:50,354
I got people in my family,
I wouldn't believe 'em
51
00:04:50,390 --> 00:04:52,449
they told me the sky was blue.
52
00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:56,058
You think I like
investigating cops?
53
00:04:56,095 --> 00:04:57,995
It's like I've got
something stuck in my throat.
54
00:04:58,031 --> 00:05:00,022
That's not what it looked
like to that Lieutenant...
55
00:05:00,066 --> 00:05:02,125
what his name, Gowdy?
From Internal Affairs.
56
00:05:02,168 --> 00:05:04,864
What, open and shut?
You buy that?
57
00:05:04,904 --> 00:05:06,769
What're you selling, Max?
58
00:05:06,806 --> 00:05:09,468
No witnesses, So?
A dead kid.
59
00:05:09,509 --> 00:05:11,602
If a civilian shot a kid,
no witnesses...
60
00:05:11,644 --> 00:05:13,009
All I'm saying is,
61
00:05:13,046 --> 00:05:14,980
they wouldn't wrap it up
in 10 minutes.
62
00:05:16,015 --> 00:05:18,882
$4 an hour I paid him.
63
00:05:18,918 --> 00:05:21,250
Good money for delivery.
64
00:05:21,287 --> 00:05:22,811
Disappears.
65
00:05:22,855 --> 00:05:25,016
This shooting in the neighborhood
- You hear about it?
66
00:05:25,058 --> 00:05:26,616
We're canvassing
all the merchants
67
00:05:26,659 --> 00:05:29,526
looking for a young man,
22, 23,
68
00:05:29,562 --> 00:05:33,020
black, with a birthmark
on his cheek.
69
00:05:33,066 --> 00:05:36,467
I got five orders
waiting to deliver.
70
00:05:36,502 --> 00:05:39,528
How long you have to wait before
you report somebody missing, eh?
71
00:05:39,572 --> 00:05:42,735
A birthmark?
Like this?
72
00:05:42,775 --> 00:05:45,437
He comes in every afternoon.
73
00:05:45,478 --> 00:05:47,412
He buys two
chocolate moon pies.
74
00:05:47,447 --> 00:05:50,007
Two. Hangs out
in the schoolyard.
75
00:05:55,521 --> 00:05:57,386
How're you doing?
76
00:05:57,423 --> 00:06:00,950
�� You ain't cool get outta
my school I'm no fool ��
77
00:06:00,993 --> 00:06:03,484
You see a guy with a
birthmark on his face?
78
00:06:03,529 --> 00:06:06,259
�� Name of the game
is finding fame ��
79
00:06:06,299 --> 00:06:07,857
�� Silky's the name
and he's to blame ��
80
00:06:07,900 --> 00:06:09,299
Silky?
81
00:06:09,335 --> 00:06:11,064
I wouldn't tell them nothing.
82
00:06:11,104 --> 00:06:12,731
Silky who?
83
00:06:12,772 --> 00:06:15,138
Ford. Lives over
on Vice Avenue.
84
00:06:15,174 --> 00:06:16,801
108.
85
00:06:25,218 --> 00:06:26,810
Silky?
86
00:06:26,853 --> 00:06:28,115
Silky Ford.
87
00:06:28,154 --> 00:06:30,622
Live around here?
Don't I wish he didn't.
88
00:06:30,656 --> 00:06:32,749
He's one of your
favorites, huh?
89
00:06:32,792 --> 00:06:36,626
Some boys make trouble
'cause they got trouble.
90
00:06:36,662 --> 00:06:39,290
Silky, he's looking
for trouble.
91
00:06:39,332 --> 00:06:42,267
What'd he do,
walk off a white man?
92
00:06:42,301 --> 00:06:44,292
Is it this building here?
93
00:06:44,337 --> 00:06:47,135
You all only come up here
94
00:06:47,173 --> 00:06:48,834
when a white man gets hurt.
95
00:06:48,875 --> 00:06:50,672
Why aren't you here
all the time?
96
00:06:50,710 --> 00:06:52,439
Silky Ford?
97
00:06:54,013 --> 00:06:55,640
Fourth floor.
98
00:06:55,681 --> 00:06:57,546
Just come in.
99
00:06:57,583 --> 00:06:59,483
Naw, man, nobody here but me.
100
00:06:59,519 --> 00:07:01,180
Let's take a look.
101
00:07:01,220 --> 00:07:03,279
Oh, no, you blind
without a warrant!
102
00:07:03,322 --> 00:07:05,256
Let me see that.
103
00:07:05,291 --> 00:07:07,486
Black male, 5'7",
104
00:07:07,527 --> 00:07:09,927
birthmark on his right cheek.
105
00:07:09,962 --> 00:07:11,725
Birthmark, right cheek...
106
00:07:11,764 --> 00:07:13,629
oh, yeah, that sound
like Silky.
107
00:07:13,666 --> 00:07:15,964
You seen him lately?
No, he's...
108
00:07:16,002 --> 00:07:17,936
been in Philadelphia
visiting his sister.
109
00:07:17,970 --> 00:07:19,961
She's in the hospital.
Mumps.
110
00:07:22,041 --> 00:07:25,499
Whoa, be gentle,
you want to tear my suits?
111
00:07:25,545 --> 00:07:27,206
Where you going, man?
112
00:07:27,246 --> 00:07:29,510
That's just the kitchen.
Ain't nobody in there.
113
00:07:35,488 --> 00:07:37,649
Waxing the floor, Silky?
114
00:07:37,690 --> 00:07:40,215
Yeah.
Yeah, we're cleaning up.
115
00:07:40,259 --> 00:07:42,454
Hey, come on, man!
116
00:07:42,495 --> 00:07:44,292
Who'd you clean up last night?
117
00:07:44,330 --> 00:07:45,957
I was home, all night long.
118
00:07:45,998 --> 00:07:47,966
Doing the floor?
Yeah.
119
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:49,695
They got dirty real fast.
120
00:07:49,735 --> 00:07:51,293
We had a party.
Who was here?
121
00:07:51,337 --> 00:07:53,498
Me and Richard.
It was a private party.
122
00:07:53,539 --> 00:07:55,837
Let's take a ride, Silky, huh?
123
00:07:55,875 --> 00:07:58,002
Hey, I got- I got things to
do, man. I got a busy day...
124
00:07:58,044 --> 00:08:00,911
Your first appointment
is with us, okay?
125
00:08:00,947 --> 00:08:02,881
What you looking at?
Come on, man!
126
00:08:02,915 --> 00:08:06,112
Take Davis out the
back before Freddo comes in.
127
00:08:08,354 --> 00:08:09,981
Davis?
128
00:08:10,022 --> 00:08:12,456
What, you think he's
going to lie for Freddo?
129
00:08:12,492 --> 00:08:14,289
No, they're both choirboys.
130
00:08:15,661 --> 00:08:17,026
Ready?
Yeah.
131
00:08:17,063 --> 00:08:19,725
I even found another black
guy with a birthmark. Great.
132
00:08:28,107 --> 00:08:29,836
Number three.
133
00:08:30,977 --> 00:08:33,309
Number three,
step forward, please.
134
00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:43,088
Yeah.
135
00:08:43,122 --> 00:08:45,352
More than the others.
136
00:08:45,391 --> 00:08:47,621
I'm playing elimination here.
137
00:08:48,628 --> 00:08:50,528
I saw him 10 seconds,
in the dark.
138
00:08:50,563 --> 00:08:52,258
You want me to say I'm sure?
139
00:08:52,298 --> 00:08:54,061
I'm not.
140
00:08:54,100 --> 00:08:56,694
Hey, Davis,
take it easy, all right?
141
00:08:56,736 --> 00:08:59,000
I'm not asking you to lie.
142
00:09:09,615 --> 00:09:11,378
Could be...
143
00:09:11,417 --> 00:09:12,941
could be number three.
144
00:09:12,985 --> 00:09:15,180
Jeez.
145
00:09:15,221 --> 00:09:18,019
I'm not sure enough for an ID.
146
00:09:19,625 --> 00:09:21,024
It was dark.
147
00:09:22,929 --> 00:09:24,419
What was that about,
148
00:09:24,463 --> 00:09:26,294
keeping those two apart?
149
00:09:26,332 --> 00:09:29,199
10 years ago, I'm working
Central Park in the fall.
150
00:09:29,235 --> 00:09:31,294
The whole place
smells like a sewer.
151
00:09:31,337 --> 00:09:32,929
Captain says I'm imagining it.
152
00:09:32,972 --> 00:09:34,769
Lieutenant says
I'm imagining it.
153
00:09:34,807 --> 00:09:36,775
Turns out it's some tree
with flowers that rot.
154
00:09:36,809 --> 00:09:38,504
Lasts about a week.
155
00:09:39,845 --> 00:09:42,575
Hey- what, am I
missing something here?
156
00:09:43,983 --> 00:09:45,814
This thing smells, too.
157
00:09:45,851 --> 00:09:48,149
Internal Affairs says
I'm imagining it,
158
00:09:48,187 --> 00:09:50,212
Cragen says I'm imagining it...
159
00:09:50,256 --> 00:09:51,814
And you're not imagining it?
160
00:09:51,857 --> 00:09:54,121
On Silky?
Two maybes,
161
00:09:54,160 --> 00:09:55,752
both cops aren't sure?
162
00:09:55,795 --> 00:09:58,195
Max, these guys are cops.
163
00:09:58,230 --> 00:10:00,164
They're cops.
164
00:10:00,199 --> 00:10:03,225
90% of all police officers
forget about killing.
165
00:10:03,269 --> 00:10:05,362
They go 30 years,
never fire a gun.
166
00:10:05,404 --> 00:10:08,202
Freddo, I heard this morning,
second time.
167
00:10:10,843 --> 00:10:12,777
Makes you wonder, that's all.
168
00:10:12,812 --> 00:10:14,541
Yeah, and it also
makes you wonder
169
00:10:14,580 --> 00:10:17,515
how many cops died thinking,
"That's not a gun in his hand."
170
00:10:21,754 --> 00:10:23,688
well, we can't hold Silky.
171
00:10:29,862 --> 00:10:32,695
I sent the prints out.
No ID.
172
00:10:32,732 --> 00:10:34,324
No record?
173
00:10:34,367 --> 00:10:37,097
Came up blank.
You see that evidence bag?
174
00:10:37,136 --> 00:10:38,899
What evidence bag?
175
00:10:39,905 --> 00:10:41,702
I sent it over.
176
00:10:41,741 --> 00:10:45,336
"wheel of Fortune."
The kid had $3,000 bucks on him.
177
00:10:45,378 --> 00:10:47,039
In his sock.
178
00:10:49,582 --> 00:10:51,573
There's one set of prints.
179
00:10:51,617 --> 00:10:53,175
The dead kid?
180
00:10:53,219 --> 00:10:54,584
Yeah.
181
00:10:54,620 --> 00:10:56,918
Only one set of prints,
like somebody wiped the gun.
182
00:10:56,956 --> 00:10:58,981
Hey, Max,
you're drawing conclusions.
183
00:10:59,025 --> 00:11:00,856
Let's just say I heard
a dog bark.
184
00:11:00,893 --> 00:11:02,190
Serial number?
185
00:11:02,228 --> 00:11:04,958
It's clean.
Not a file job- acid.
186
00:11:04,997 --> 00:11:08,091
Dog's barking louder.
Ballistics.
187
00:11:32,525 --> 00:11:34,755
Beautiful piece, that Magnum.
188
00:11:36,462 --> 00:11:38,726
Tender loving care
to clean it off.
189
00:11:38,764 --> 00:11:40,459
Has it been worked on?
190
00:11:40,499 --> 00:11:42,490
By someone very good.
191
00:11:46,305 --> 00:11:49,274
R-10 twist.
Clear as a bell.
192
00:11:51,444 --> 00:11:55,403
Let's go back a few months,
see if we can find a match.
193
00:11:57,216 --> 00:11:58,706
Magnum's clean.
194
00:11:58,751 --> 00:12:00,184
Sources?
195
00:12:00,219 --> 00:12:02,084
Hoover in washington Heights,
196
00:12:02,121 --> 00:12:04,385
Bernie on 116th Street.
197
00:12:05,591 --> 00:12:07,388
Silky'd stay close to home.
198
00:12:08,594 --> 00:12:10,255
Bernie.
Bang.
199
00:12:11,664 --> 00:12:13,427
Magnums.
200
00:12:13,466 --> 00:12:15,195
They're like opinions-
everybody's got one.
201
00:12:15,234 --> 00:12:17,099
It's been cleaned up.
202
00:12:21,107 --> 00:12:22,802
Yours?
203
00:12:22,842 --> 00:12:24,469
Nice work, whoever did it.
204
00:12:24,510 --> 00:12:25,943
New kind of lock?
205
00:12:25,978 --> 00:12:28,879
Double cylinder,
spring release.
206
00:12:28,914 --> 00:12:30,643
Yeah, illegal in this city.
207
00:12:30,683 --> 00:12:32,617
To install, not sell.
208
00:12:32,651 --> 00:12:34,175
Unpickable.
209
00:12:34,220 --> 00:12:36,620
Yeah, for six months.
Single cylinder?
210
00:12:36,655 --> 00:12:38,714
Wait a minute...
211
00:12:38,758 --> 00:12:40,157
This one hot?
212
00:12:40,192 --> 00:12:42,092
No?
213
00:12:42,128 --> 00:12:45,063
Bust me for a misdemeanor.
I'd be out in an hour.
214
00:12:45,097 --> 00:12:47,088
We keep busting you
and them hours add up.
215
00:12:49,535 --> 00:12:51,867
He dead?
Never laid eyes on him.
216
00:12:56,809 --> 00:12:59,505
You lose a lot of business
when the door's locked.
217
00:13:01,180 --> 00:13:04,980
The Magnum's his.
A month ago. Six weeks.
218
00:13:05,017 --> 00:13:06,245
You positive?
219
00:13:06,285 --> 00:13:08,150
What do you want,
the name of his dog?
220
00:13:08,187 --> 00:13:09,677
Yeah, that's him.
221
00:13:12,525 --> 00:13:14,516
Oh, great.
Hey! what?!
222
00:13:14,560 --> 00:13:16,027
The kid-
the one the cop shot?
223
00:13:16,061 --> 00:13:17,790
He had your gun in his hand.
224
00:13:17,830 --> 00:13:21,231
Sing a song for me, Silky.
This is murder.
225
00:13:21,267 --> 00:13:23,098
If you're involved
it won't be probation.
226
00:13:23,135 --> 00:13:25,763
The other night, when you were
waxing the floor, this kid with you?
227
00:13:25,805 --> 00:13:28,535
I seen him around,
but I don't know his name.
228
00:13:28,574 --> 00:13:29,700
How did he get your gun?
229
00:13:29,742 --> 00:13:31,801
I sold it to him.
230
00:13:31,844 --> 00:13:33,778
You don't know his name
and you sold him your gun?
231
00:13:33,813 --> 00:13:35,303
I didn't need to know his name.
232
00:13:35,347 --> 00:13:36,871
A sister I know
brought him over.
233
00:13:36,916 --> 00:13:39,976
What's her name?
Doris. She's real fresh.
234
00:13:40,019 --> 00:13:41,646
Turn around and put your
hands on top of your head.
235
00:13:41,687 --> 00:13:42,915
For what?
236
00:13:42,955 --> 00:13:44,650
Turn around and put your
hands on top of your head!
237
00:13:44,690 --> 00:13:46,317
Felony, Silky.
Oh, man.
238
00:13:46,358 --> 00:13:49,088
You just confessed
to selling a weapon.
239
00:13:49,128 --> 00:13:50,823
You have the right
to remain silent.
240
00:13:50,863 --> 00:13:53,263
Anything you say... what
is this, a class D? Class E?
241
00:13:53,299 --> 00:13:54,823
Shut up! It's a walk,
I'm out in a day.
242
00:13:54,867 --> 00:13:56,858
You have the right to an
Big surprise.
243
00:13:56,902 --> 00:13:57,869
Shut up!
244
00:13:57,903 --> 00:13:59,996
Hey.
245
00:14:00,039 --> 00:14:02,940
You knowwhat this
is going to cost me?
246
00:14:02,975 --> 00:14:05,102
My lawyer gets
$300 an hour, man.
247
00:14:05,144 --> 00:14:07,635
Think about where you were
the other night, Silky.
248
00:14:07,680 --> 00:14:09,307
I'd like to know.
249
00:14:13,152 --> 00:14:15,177
You know the kid Freddo shot?
250
00:14:15,221 --> 00:14:17,485
Maybe he did have the gun.
251
00:14:17,523 --> 00:14:20,424
Right. Silky sold him
a Magnum,
252
00:14:20,459 --> 00:14:22,324
he gave him an IOU
253
00:14:22,361 --> 00:14:24,386
and then stuck
$3,000 in his shoe.
254
00:14:24,430 --> 00:14:26,455
Max, he could've bought
the gun a week ago.
255
00:14:26,498 --> 00:14:29,023
Run this by me again.
256
00:14:29,068 --> 00:14:31,127
Freddo and Davis saw
a guy with a birthmark,
257
00:14:31,170 --> 00:14:33,161
but it wasn't Silky.
258
00:14:33,205 --> 00:14:35,264
Silky sold the dead kid a gun,
259
00:14:35,307 --> 00:14:37,275
but he wasn't there that night.
260
00:14:43,749 --> 00:14:45,307
I don't know any Silky,
261
00:14:45,351 --> 00:14:47,319
and I don't know nothing
about dope.
262
00:14:47,353 --> 00:14:49,651
Who said anything about dope?
263
00:14:49,688 --> 00:14:52,350
Well, I got nothing
to tell you.
264
00:14:52,391 --> 00:14:54,256
How about we take you
down to the precinct?
265
00:14:54,293 --> 00:14:56,625
Come on, you can't take me in.
You got no charge.
266
00:14:56,662 --> 00:14:58,357
Doris, a guy is dead.
267
00:14:58,397 --> 00:15:00,592
Yeah, well, a lot you Wrong.
268
00:15:00,633 --> 00:15:02,294
You care so much
you probably belong
269
00:15:02,334 --> 00:15:03,995
to the NAACP.
270
00:15:04,036 --> 00:15:06,129
You introduce this kid
to Silky?
271
00:15:06,171 --> 00:15:08,571
He had Silky's gun
in his hand when he died.
272
00:15:08,607 --> 00:15:11,440
Silky says you were there
when he sold the kid the piece.
273
00:15:11,477 --> 00:15:15,072
No way.
No way, that's a lie.
274
00:15:15,114 --> 00:15:17,105
Who is he, Doris?
275
00:15:20,119 --> 00:15:22,246
It's T ommy Richardson.
276
00:15:22,288 --> 00:15:24,188
Where does he live?
277
00:15:26,992 --> 00:15:30,155
103rd.
Lexington and Park.
278
00:15:31,830 --> 00:15:33,627
You seen your brother Tommy?
279
00:15:34,700 --> 00:15:36,361
He ain't here.
280
00:15:36,402 --> 00:15:38,768
Where is he?
281
00:15:38,804 --> 00:15:40,999
I don't know,
282
00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:43,668
but you better come back
when my mom gets home.
283
00:15:43,709 --> 00:15:46,337
Where is your mom, Abel?
284
00:15:46,378 --> 00:15:48,278
Working.
285
00:15:48,314 --> 00:15:50,475
Where's she work?
286
00:15:50,516 --> 00:15:52,984
In an office building.
She's a cleaning lady.
287
00:15:53,018 --> 00:15:55,612
She doesn't get back
till 8:00.
288
00:15:57,056 --> 00:15:58,614
Abel, you...
289
00:15:58,657 --> 00:16:00,716
you'd better come with us.
290
00:16:00,759 --> 00:16:03,284
Abel, why don't you take a
chair right here, all right?
291
00:16:05,464 --> 00:16:06,931
Did you call Reverend Thayer?
292
00:16:06,966 --> 00:16:09,434
Yeah, we called him.
293
00:16:09,468 --> 00:16:12,266
So when's the last time
you saw your brother?
294
00:16:12,304 --> 00:16:14,795
Abel?
No, no, it's all right.
295
00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:17,172
Reverend Thayer, Detective
Logan, Sergeant Greevey.
296
00:16:17,209 --> 00:16:19,302
Yeah. Bringing a boy down here,
297
00:16:19,345 --> 00:16:21,313
what's the reason?
What'd he do?
298
00:16:21,347 --> 00:16:25,306
It seems his brother pulled a gun
on a policeman the night before last.
299
00:16:25,351 --> 00:16:28,343
No. No, no, no.
You've got the wrong boy.
300
00:16:28,387 --> 00:16:30,514
I don't think so.
301
00:16:56,081 --> 00:16:58,606
Tommy Richardson
wouldn't have a gun.
302
00:17:00,419 --> 00:17:02,819
Tommy Richardson was a...
303
00:17:02,855 --> 00:17:06,018
an honor student
at Princeton University.
304
00:17:33,986 --> 00:17:36,614
Why would a Princeton
honors student shoot a policeman?
305
00:17:36,655 --> 00:17:39,055
When is an
arrest going to be made?
306
00:17:39,091 --> 00:17:41,924
Did you know Tommy
Richardson lectured against drugs?
307
00:17:41,960 --> 00:17:44,394
Can you make some kind
of a statement?
308
00:17:46,331 --> 00:17:48,162
Whatever happened that night,
309
00:17:48,200 --> 00:17:52,159
we just got shoved out a plane
at 30,000 feet, no parachute.
310
00:17:56,008 --> 00:17:58,670
Nice, straightforward
little case, huh?
311
00:17:58,710 --> 00:18:01,076
So the wrap-it-up-
no-problem boys said.
312
00:18:01,113 --> 00:18:02,910
We're going to get strung up.
313
00:18:02,948 --> 00:18:05,917
Why did Freddo and Davis go
soft on Silky at the lineup?
314
00:18:05,951 --> 00:18:07,748
They made a mistake.
315
00:18:07,786 --> 00:18:10,152
Yeah, they thought nobody
would know they were lying.
316
00:18:10,189 --> 00:18:12,054
If you're wrong,
and you go after cops...
317
00:18:12,091 --> 00:18:14,059
If I'm wrong,
I'll go the grand jury
318
00:18:14,093 --> 00:18:15,720
and say I killed the kid.
319
00:18:21,300 --> 00:18:23,461
Yeah, I can use the time off.
320
00:18:24,503 --> 00:18:26,528
You heard about the kid?
321
00:18:26,572 --> 00:18:28,597
Princeton?
322
00:18:28,640 --> 00:18:30,972
Yeah, just goes to show you.
323
00:18:31,009 --> 00:18:32,340
Homeboys.
324
00:18:32,377 --> 00:18:34,004
No matter how fancy
you dress 'em up,
325
00:18:34,046 --> 00:18:36,947
they can still gun down a cop
like any street scum.
326
00:18:36,982 --> 00:18:39,450
The dude you and Davis
327
00:18:39,485 --> 00:18:40,975
passed on
in the lineup, Freddo,
328
00:18:41,019 --> 00:18:43,988
it's hard to believe that his
gun was there and he wasn't.
329
00:18:44,022 --> 00:18:47,549
Now if he happens to say
he was there,
330
00:18:47,593 --> 00:18:49,561
and contradicts you...
331
00:18:49,595 --> 00:18:51,392
what is this?
What is this?!
332
00:18:51,430 --> 00:18:53,625
I got 23 years on the force!
333
00:18:53,665 --> 00:18:55,496
Now who are you going to trust,
334
00:18:55,534 --> 00:18:57,263
me or some eggplant?!
335
00:18:58,670 --> 00:19:02,162
Gee, Mike, he sure sounds
trustworthy to me. How about you?
336
00:19:02,207 --> 00:19:04,971
Hey, hey!
337
00:19:07,246 --> 00:19:09,111
Easy, Freddo.
338
00:19:09,148 --> 00:19:11,082
Next time you want
to ask me something,
339
00:19:11,116 --> 00:19:13,414
talk to my POBA rep.
340
00:19:14,620 --> 00:19:16,850
The man has two decades.
341
00:19:16,889 --> 00:19:19,255
From where the Police Officers'
Benevolent Association stands,
342
00:19:19,291 --> 00:19:21,521
that merits a certain respect.
343
00:19:21,560 --> 00:19:24,495
"Benevolent" means I
don't investigate? Max...
344
00:19:24,530 --> 00:19:26,828
You arrive at the
man's home unannounced,
345
00:19:26,865 --> 00:19:29,493
and you treat him like
some punk murderer...
346
00:19:29,535 --> 00:19:31,765
Freddo's no punk. Oh,
but he is a murderer?
347
00:19:31,803 --> 00:19:33,964
That's what we're
investigating.
348
00:19:34,006 --> 00:19:36,201
It is Sergeant
Greevey's job to investigate,
349
00:19:36,241 --> 00:19:37,674
but Max, if you are
all over this officer
350
00:19:37,709 --> 00:19:39,176
it's going to have to stop.
351
00:19:40,646 --> 00:19:42,341
We'll talk.
352
00:19:48,220 --> 00:19:49,653
Rock and a hard place.
353
00:19:49,688 --> 00:19:51,781
My butt, Max.
Mine, not yours.
354
00:19:51,823 --> 00:19:53,882
This is not a bad cop.
355
00:19:53,926 --> 00:19:56,019
Neither are you, neither am I,
356
00:19:56,061 --> 00:19:57,494
but some things we don't do.
357
00:19:57,529 --> 00:20:00,498
We don't fix this fast, the
brotherhood is going to crucify us.
358
00:20:00,532 --> 00:20:03,092
If we do, the black community
is going to crucify us.
359
00:20:03,135 --> 00:20:05,126
Then let's do it right.
360
00:20:19,585 --> 00:20:21,143
Careful.
361
00:20:22,287 --> 00:20:24,346
Yeah, we all gotta be careful.
362
00:20:24,389 --> 00:20:27,051
More careful than Freddo was.
363
00:20:27,092 --> 00:20:29,322
Enough people
have already gotten hurt.
364
00:20:29,361 --> 00:20:31,386
Which is why
we're investigating.
365
00:20:31,430 --> 00:20:33,455
Detectives.
366
00:20:33,498 --> 00:20:35,591
You sit behind a desk.
367
00:20:37,069 --> 00:20:39,902
You guys have no idea what it's
like on the streets these days.
368
00:20:39,938 --> 00:20:42,236
Come on, what's that
supposed to mean?
369
00:20:42,274 --> 00:20:43,571
Close ranks, Logan.
370
00:20:43,609 --> 00:20:46,009
Hey, I have, okay?
With my partner.
371
00:20:46,044 --> 00:20:47,602
Your partner?
Get off me!
372
00:20:47,646 --> 00:20:48,908
Hey, break it up!
373
00:20:48,947 --> 00:20:51,415
He wants to be a crusader.
Tell him to join the ACLU.
374
00:20:51,450 --> 00:20:54,419
This-
this punk...
375
00:20:54,453 --> 00:20:57,047
okay, he went
to some fancy school...
376
00:20:57,089 --> 00:20:58,750
I don't care if he was
head of the class...
377
00:20:58,790 --> 00:21:01,850
those three skells
were doing a drug deal.
378
00:21:04,263 --> 00:21:05,855
Yeah, well,
379
00:21:05,897 --> 00:21:08,866
we're all on the same side,
right, Davis?
380
00:21:08,900 --> 00:21:10,663
You could've fooled me.
381
00:21:21,513 --> 00:21:24,505
This week-
not easy, is it?
382
00:21:28,987 --> 00:21:31,581
Yeah, well, we're out there
all alone, Max.
383
00:21:34,192 --> 00:21:35,716
Let me tell you something.
384
00:21:36,728 --> 00:21:38,389
Everybody else is wrong,
385
00:21:38,430 --> 00:21:40,057
and I think you like that.
386
00:21:40,098 --> 00:21:43,090
I don't like being told
to roll over.
387
00:21:43,135 --> 00:21:45,660
Davis swears the kid
was doing a drug deal.
388
00:21:45,704 --> 00:21:47,433
He swears it.
389
00:21:47,472 --> 00:21:49,838
Okay, fine.
390
00:21:49,875 --> 00:21:52,002
Assume everybody's
telling the truth.
391
00:21:52,044 --> 00:21:54,410
A Magnum on the street,
what's it go for?
392
00:21:54,446 --> 00:21:55,811
500.
393
00:21:55,847 --> 00:21:57,542
Right.
Half a pound of crack?
394
00:21:57,582 --> 00:21:59,015
2500.
395
00:21:59,051 --> 00:22:02,316
The Richardson kid had
$3,000 bucks in his socks...
396
00:22:02,354 --> 00:22:04,982
supposed to buy a gun
and drugs.
397
00:22:05,023 --> 00:22:07,719
Drug dealers don't take credit.
398
00:22:10,495 --> 00:22:12,986
All right, the deal
never went down.
399
00:22:14,132 --> 00:22:18,034
Which means the kid
never had the gun.
400
00:22:18,070 --> 00:22:20,038
Freddo shot him,
401
00:22:20,072 --> 00:22:23,064
put the Magnum in his hand,
and he gave Silky a walk.
402
00:22:23,108 --> 00:22:25,941
That's why nobody's talking.
403
00:22:25,977 --> 00:22:28,844
We still got to turn up
the third guy.
404
00:22:30,382 --> 00:22:32,247
If Silky's not your friend...
405
00:22:32,284 --> 00:22:35,253
I don't have any friends.
They die too quick.
406
00:22:35,287 --> 00:22:36,811
How about enemies?
407
00:22:37,856 --> 00:22:41,087
Enemies, too.
Up here, nobody gets to 40.
408
00:22:41,126 --> 00:22:43,720
Three people that night, Doris.
409
00:22:43,762 --> 00:22:45,229
You knew Tommy,
410
00:22:45,263 --> 00:22:46,992
you know Silky...
411
00:22:47,032 --> 00:22:49,728
I knowwhatever I tell you
it only means you lock 'em up.
412
00:22:49,768 --> 00:22:51,360
Hey, hey.
413
00:22:51,403 --> 00:22:54,930
We're trying to find out
why Tommy Richardson is dead.
414
00:22:54,973 --> 00:22:56,998
The way we hear it,
he was your friend.
415
00:22:57,042 --> 00:23:00,478
Seems to me you
owe him his propers.
416
00:23:00,512 --> 00:23:02,605
Who was the third guy?
417
00:23:05,117 --> 00:23:07,551
He's just a scared little boy.
418
00:23:07,586 --> 00:23:09,918
Abel.
419
00:23:09,955 --> 00:23:11,855
Tommy's little brother.
420
00:23:13,458 --> 00:23:15,756
Tommy and Silky
were doing a drug deal.
421
00:23:15,794 --> 00:23:18,627
You think Tommy
would shoot a cop?
422
00:23:18,663 --> 00:23:20,290
Tommy never had a gun!
423
00:23:20,332 --> 00:23:22,493
If your brother was here now,
424
00:23:22,534 --> 00:23:25,128
what would he tell you to do?
425
00:23:29,408 --> 00:23:31,968
Tommy was going to buy the gun.
426
00:23:32,010 --> 00:23:33,568
For 500?
427
00:23:33,612 --> 00:23:35,580
Yes.
428
00:23:35,614 --> 00:23:37,445
And the dope?
429
00:23:37,482 --> 00:23:39,677
Crack. A half a pound.
430
00:23:39,718 --> 00:23:41,413
For 2500.
431
00:23:41,453 --> 00:23:44,718
20 extra. we were going
to go to the movies.
432
00:23:46,091 --> 00:23:48,389
But the cops came, we ran...
433
00:23:48,427 --> 00:23:51,021
Silky still had the gun.
434
00:23:57,702 --> 00:23:59,397
Okay.
435
00:24:00,605 --> 00:24:02,129
Okay what?
436
00:24:04,042 --> 00:24:07,534
Sometimes when I don't want to
see something, I put blinders on.
437
00:24:07,579 --> 00:24:09,672
What's that, a confession?
438
00:24:11,817 --> 00:24:13,648
It's an apology.
439
00:24:18,390 --> 00:24:20,324
Richardson had the money.
440
00:24:20,358 --> 00:24:22,258
Silky had the gun.
441
00:24:22,294 --> 00:24:24,990
What happened to the dope?
442
00:24:25,030 --> 00:24:26,895
There was no dope.
443
00:24:26,932 --> 00:24:28,456
Never had it.
444
00:24:28,500 --> 00:24:31,663
Oh yeah, Richardson met
you to buy groceries.
445
00:24:31,703 --> 00:24:34,968
My lawyer, he'll have me
out of here in an hour.
446
00:24:35,006 --> 00:24:37,702
You could still go up on
that gun charge, Silky.
447
00:24:37,742 --> 00:24:40,973
I ain't never been
convicted of no felony.
448
00:24:41,012 --> 00:24:43,480
Even if you prove I sold
him the gun, I still walk.
449
00:24:45,283 --> 00:24:47,012
Jailhouse lawyer here.
450
00:24:47,052 --> 00:24:50,488
A witness puts you
at the scene that night.
451
00:24:50,522 --> 00:24:52,387
Abel.
452
00:24:56,027 --> 00:24:57,654
All right.
453
00:24:57,696 --> 00:25:00,324
I was there.
That's what you want to hear?
454
00:25:00,365 --> 00:25:03,095
Tommy had the gun. He drew
on the cop, the cop shot him.
455
00:25:03,134 --> 00:25:04,396
That's what happened.
456
00:25:04,436 --> 00:25:07,166
You're playing this
all wrong, Silky.
457
00:25:08,306 --> 00:25:10,297
I'm still breathing, ain't I?
458
00:25:11,309 --> 00:25:13,743
What'd this guy do,
shoot the Pope?
459
00:25:14,813 --> 00:25:16,280
What are you talking about?
460
00:25:16,314 --> 00:25:17,975
Pretty popular.
461
00:25:18,016 --> 00:25:19,711
Had another cop
in this morning.
462
00:25:19,751 --> 00:25:20,979
Who?
463
00:25:22,153 --> 00:25:23,950
Parisi.
464
00:25:23,989 --> 00:25:26,355
Freddo Parisi.
465
00:25:26,391 --> 00:25:29,519
The kid says, "I'm breathing,
" it means "Freddo threatened us."
466
00:25:29,561 --> 00:25:32,655
I admit it doesn't sound good.
Silky's lying, Freddo's lying,
467
00:25:32,697 --> 00:25:35,325
and Davis is covering for him.
468
00:25:35,367 --> 00:25:38,234
Freddo's arrested,
maybe somebody breaks.
469
00:25:38,270 --> 00:25:40,830
DA says the same thing,
but it's a cop,
470
00:25:40,872 --> 00:25:43,136
so it's got to be
an Internal Affairs collar.
471
00:25:43,174 --> 00:25:47,110
IAD cuts the guy some slack,
and his own precinct burns him.
472
00:25:47,145 --> 00:25:48,840
What a world.
473
00:26:10,802 --> 00:26:14,294
You're under arrest for
the murder of Thomas Richardson.
474
00:26:16,174 --> 00:26:18,039
You have the right
to remain silent.
475
00:26:18,076 --> 00:26:19,737
Anything you say
can and will be used...
476
00:26:19,778 --> 00:26:21,370
Save it, wiseguy.
477
00:26:21,413 --> 00:26:23,244
I know it by heart.
478
00:26:29,588 --> 00:26:31,317
You're dreaming, Counselor.
479
00:26:31,356 --> 00:26:33,950
And the Richardson boy?
No record and no gun.
480
00:26:33,992 --> 00:26:35,619
Yeah, says
his 13-year-old brother.
481
00:26:35,660 --> 00:26:37,150
With no reason to lie.
482
00:26:37,195 --> 00:26:39,720
The kid's a lousy witness.
He wasn't even there.
483
00:26:39,764 --> 00:26:41,595
When I get finished with him,
484
00:26:41,633 --> 00:26:43,863
a jury won't take his word
on what he ate for breakfast.
485
00:26:43,902 --> 00:26:45,927
And patrolman Parisi?
486
00:26:45,971 --> 00:26:48,769
A veteran cop.
His word, Davis' word,
487
00:26:48,807 --> 00:26:50,775
Silky's word,
all against the kid,
488
00:26:50,809 --> 00:26:53,505
who wants to protect
his brother's reputation.
489
00:26:53,545 --> 00:26:55,376
Who's a jury going to believe?
490
00:26:55,413 --> 00:26:57,643
By the time we go
to trial, Patrolman,
491
00:26:57,682 --> 00:26:59,741
Silky'll be telling the truth.
492
00:27:00,752 --> 00:27:02,276
It turns out Abel's not clean,
493
00:27:02,320 --> 00:27:04,481
they scuff him up
on the stand, Freddo walks.
494
00:27:04,522 --> 00:27:06,490
Abel has no record.
Neither did his brother.
495
00:27:06,524 --> 00:27:08,719
I don't want a last minute
sandbag. Make sure, Paul.
496
00:27:12,163 --> 00:27:14,290
Abel's been in no trouble!
497
00:27:15,800 --> 00:27:19,236
You going to see your brother,
Tommy Richardson, gets justice?
498
00:27:19,270 --> 00:27:21,101
I'm an officer of the court.
499
00:27:21,139 --> 00:27:23,130
I'll investigate
every aspect of the case.
500
00:27:23,174 --> 00:27:25,608
Color has-
Nothing to do with it.
501
00:27:30,548 --> 00:27:33,312
Maybe I'm mistaken who you are.
502
00:27:34,486 --> 00:27:36,750
You grow up on Park Avenue,
503
00:27:36,788 --> 00:27:38,517
south of 96th Street?
504
00:27:38,556 --> 00:27:40,615
That isn't relevant to this.
505
00:27:40,659 --> 00:27:42,183
No?
506
00:27:42,227 --> 00:27:45,025
No father?
That's right.
507
00:27:46,231 --> 00:27:47,926
Took off?
508
00:27:47,966 --> 00:27:49,991
Even you, Mr. Robinette?
509
00:27:50,035 --> 00:27:53,937
All black fathers
leave their children?
510
00:27:55,540 --> 00:27:58,031
Tommy Richardson's father
was a subway motorman.
511
00:27:58,076 --> 00:28:00,476
Usually worked two shifts.
512
00:28:00,512 --> 00:28:04,039
Somebody shot him
for $20 bucks he'd won at OTB.
513
00:28:05,283 --> 00:28:08,616
Now Tommy Richardson
was a hero in this community.
514
00:28:08,653 --> 00:28:11,679
He came from a good family.
515
00:28:11,723 --> 00:28:13,623
He went to a good college.
516
00:28:13,658 --> 00:28:16,525
He brought home money
for the church,
517
00:28:16,561 --> 00:28:19,621
for the Children's
Enrichment Program,
518
00:28:19,664 --> 00:28:21,188
for the boy's choir...
519
00:28:21,232 --> 00:28:23,632
How much money?
From where?
520
00:28:23,668 --> 00:28:26,694
Family named Harriman.
521
00:28:26,738 --> 00:28:29,332
Tommy's college roommate.
522
00:28:29,374 --> 00:28:32,571
They gave $48,000 in secret.
523
00:28:34,746 --> 00:28:36,646
How much?
524
00:28:37,816 --> 00:28:40,444
$48,000.
525
00:28:40,485 --> 00:28:41,952
My God.
526
00:28:41,986 --> 00:28:44,011
Your family didn't
give the money?
527
00:28:45,256 --> 00:28:46,723
Where'd he get it?
528
00:28:48,326 --> 00:28:51,227
Till the end of the semester,
529
00:28:51,262 --> 00:28:53,423
I really like Tommy.
530
00:28:53,465 --> 00:28:55,626
He was smart, funny.
531
00:28:55,667 --> 00:28:58,693
Exam period,
I'd come back at night
532
00:28:58,737 --> 00:29:01,729
and the people
he was hanging out with...
533
00:29:01,773 --> 00:29:04,003
Street people.
Yeah...
534
00:29:04,042 --> 00:29:05,976
wall Street.
535
00:29:06,010 --> 00:29:09,104
J. Press suits,
Fischer skis, Beamers.
536
00:29:09,147 --> 00:29:10,910
Trust fund babies.
537
00:29:10,949 --> 00:29:14,248
Tommy... it was like
he was in China.
538
00:29:14,285 --> 00:29:16,219
Didn't know the language,
539
00:29:16,254 --> 00:29:18,245
couldn't make friends.
540
00:29:18,289 --> 00:29:19,916
These guys wanted
to score some coke,
541
00:29:19,958 --> 00:29:24,190
and Tommy's black-
like he ought to know.
542
00:29:24,229 --> 00:29:26,026
Friendship wasn't the point.
543
00:29:26,064 --> 00:29:27,497
Customers.
544
00:29:27,532 --> 00:29:28,931
You know any of them?
545
00:29:28,967 --> 00:29:30,832
Wesley Parker.
546
00:29:30,869 --> 00:29:32,632
Have a seat.
547
00:29:32,670 --> 00:29:35,264
I want to talk to
you about Tommy Richardson.
548
00:29:35,306 --> 00:29:37,274
What about him?
549
00:29:39,310 --> 00:29:41,210
He sold you drugs.
550
00:29:41,246 --> 00:29:43,077
No way, man.
551
00:29:43,114 --> 00:29:45,981
I don't know who you've been
talking to, but there's no way...
552
00:29:46,017 --> 00:29:48,542
I take a walk around here,
you think I'll find some dope?
553
00:29:48,586 --> 00:29:50,315
Whatever you want to know.
554
00:29:51,456 --> 00:29:53,219
Why'd you hang with Tommy?
555
00:29:53,258 --> 00:29:56,056
I don't want to get myself
arrested here.
556
00:29:59,664 --> 00:30:02,292
Let's say Tommy never
got me any drugs.
557
00:30:02,333 --> 00:30:04,130
But your friends...
558
00:30:05,336 --> 00:30:07,327
Tommy was tough,
he knew how the world worked.
559
00:30:07,372 --> 00:30:10,466
You knowwhat I mean?
560
00:30:10,508 --> 00:30:12,567
He was going to be
real major...
561
00:30:12,610 --> 00:30:14,407
Yeah, wesley,
562
00:30:14,445 --> 00:30:16,174
a major homicide.
563
00:30:16,214 --> 00:30:19,115
We want justice!
We want justice!
564
00:30:21,352 --> 00:30:23,752
To them, he's a hero.
565
00:30:23,788 --> 00:30:25,813
We're going
to destroy that dream.
566
00:30:25,857 --> 00:30:28,724
The truth will set you free.
It won't always make you happy.
567
00:30:28,760 --> 00:30:30,421
But he wasn't all bad.
568
00:30:30,461 --> 00:30:32,622
A trial, Ben-
his name's dirt.
569
00:30:32,664 --> 00:30:34,757
In Harlem,
570
00:30:34,799 --> 00:30:36,357
a kid goes away
to a good school,
571
00:30:36,401 --> 00:30:38,699
brings back money
to the community...
572
00:30:38,736 --> 00:30:40,328
A candidate for sainthood?
573
00:30:40,371 --> 00:30:41,804
The good part of him, yeah.
574
00:30:41,840 --> 00:30:44,365
Maybe he needed the bad part
to make the good part work.
575
00:30:44,409 --> 00:30:47,936
Maybe being the tough black
kid at college, the street kid,
576
00:30:47,979 --> 00:30:50,812
helped him to come home
and give away money.
577
00:30:50,849 --> 00:30:53,215
Robin Hood? You think
that'll play with the jury?
578
00:30:53,251 --> 00:30:54,582
They find out
he's a drug dealer,
579
00:30:54,619 --> 00:30:56,450
they'll never believe
he didn't have a gun.
580
00:30:56,487 --> 00:30:59,615
Then make a deal. Freddo
does a couple of years,
581
00:30:59,657 --> 00:31:01,249
Tommy's name stays clean.
582
00:31:01,292 --> 00:31:03,783
Can't do it, Paul.
You can't let killers walk.
583
00:31:05,663 --> 00:31:07,494
Stone.
584
00:31:07,532 --> 00:31:09,329
Yes, send them in.
585
00:31:09,367 --> 00:31:10,959
The Richardsons.
586
00:31:12,670 --> 00:31:15,195
Mrs. Richardson,
thanks for coming down.
587
00:31:15,240 --> 00:31:17,003
Is this Abel?
Yes, it is.
588
00:31:17,041 --> 00:31:19,009
How do you do?
Come in, sit right down.
589
00:31:25,516 --> 00:31:27,245
Mrs. Richardson,
590
00:31:27,285 --> 00:31:29,014
when this case goes to trial,
591
00:31:29,053 --> 00:31:32,250
there may be unpleasant things
said about your son.
592
00:31:32,290 --> 00:31:35,657
I read in the papers
593
00:31:35,693 --> 00:31:38,184
that the policeman
could go free.
594
00:31:40,398 --> 00:31:42,798
Mrs. Richardson...
595
00:31:42,834 --> 00:31:45,029
My husband was killed.
596
00:31:46,371 --> 00:31:48,896
Tommy was 10 years old.
597
00:31:48,940 --> 00:31:51,340
That boy...
598
00:31:53,044 --> 00:31:56,502
he started coming home from
school late, two, three hours.
599
00:31:56,547 --> 00:31:59,607
I thought he was hanging out
on the streets.
600
00:31:59,651 --> 00:32:01,585
After school job made him late.
601
00:32:01,619 --> 00:32:04,554
Delivering groceries...
602
00:32:05,690 --> 00:32:07,282
to help me out.
603
00:32:08,559 --> 00:32:11,585
Tommy spent his whole life
604
00:32:11,629 --> 00:32:13,859
just taking care
of other people.
605
00:32:15,166 --> 00:32:17,191
He had some problems.
606
00:32:19,837 --> 00:32:22,032
My boy got out of Harlem.
607
00:32:22,073 --> 00:32:25,668
That's what white people
wanted him to do,
608
00:32:25,710 --> 00:32:27,701
and it's what I wanted
him to do.
609
00:32:29,180 --> 00:32:32,638
Mr. Stone, could I talk
to you outside for a second?
610
00:32:34,018 --> 00:32:35,679
You're going to kill my mom.
611
00:32:35,720 --> 00:32:37,347
This drug deal
on the street, Abel...
612
00:32:37,388 --> 00:32:39,219
this wasn't
a one shot thing, was it?
613
00:32:39,257 --> 00:32:41,748
You can't do this to my
mom. It's not us doing it.
614
00:32:41,793 --> 00:32:43,693
Reverend Thayer, your mother...
615
00:32:43,728 --> 00:32:45,355
everybody wants justice.
616
00:32:45,396 --> 00:32:47,660
But I have to know
what really happened.
617
00:32:47,699 --> 00:32:49,326
Tommy was moving a ton of dope.
618
00:32:49,367 --> 00:32:50,994
At Princeton?
619
00:32:51,035 --> 00:32:52,468
Every two weeks.
620
00:32:52,503 --> 00:32:53,936
He buy it here?
621
00:32:55,373 --> 00:32:57,568
Had- had this mule,
622
00:32:57,608 --> 00:32:59,906
moved it down the drain.
623
00:32:59,944 --> 00:33:02,037
This mule have a name?
624
00:33:02,080 --> 00:33:04,048
A girl.
625
00:33:04,082 --> 00:33:06,209
Girl named Doris.
626
00:33:06,250 --> 00:33:08,548
I don't know nothing, okay?
627
00:33:08,586 --> 00:33:11,146
He's dead and I'm still here,
that's all I know.
628
00:33:11,189 --> 00:33:14,056
When you were on the stroll
- That's old news.
629
00:33:14,092 --> 00:33:16,492
Not old enough for the
statute of limitations.
630
00:33:16,527 --> 00:33:18,324
You jumped bail, three times.
631
00:33:18,363 --> 00:33:20,388
I forgot to show up at
court. You want a reminder?
632
00:33:20,431 --> 00:33:22,422
Okay, you want it
straight up, Oreo?
633
00:33:22,467 --> 00:33:24,332
Tommy asked me
to score some coke.
634
00:33:24,369 --> 00:33:26,064
Gave me money, train ticket,
635
00:33:26,104 --> 00:33:28,197
said to bring it to him
someplace in Jersey.
636
00:33:28,239 --> 00:33:30,969
Smart move, Doris. He paid me
so much I stopped turning tricks.
637
00:33:31,009 --> 00:33:32,636
'Cause of him I got
out of the life.
638
00:33:32,677 --> 00:33:34,235
Great, hooking to drug dealing?
639
00:33:34,278 --> 00:33:37,679
Which would you rather sell,
drugs or your body?
640
00:33:41,519 --> 00:33:43,953
We want justice!
We want justice...
641
00:33:51,295 --> 00:33:54,992
New York's finest!
New York's finest...
642
00:34:03,975 --> 00:34:06,637
Yeah, real stupid, Stone.
643
00:34:06,677 --> 00:34:08,907
Grand jury's decision,
not mine.
644
00:34:08,946 --> 00:34:10,470
I'm not going to have
to smear that kid.
645
00:34:10,515 --> 00:34:12,312
He already smeared himself.
646
00:34:12,350 --> 00:34:15,808
Tommy Richardson's dead. He's not
on trial for drugs or anything else.
647
00:34:15,853 --> 00:34:17,616
Freddo had every reason
to believe
648
00:34:17,655 --> 00:34:18,986
that the kid was
going to shoot him.
649
00:34:19,023 --> 00:34:21,583
You, in Freddo's shoes,
what would you have done?
650
00:34:21,626 --> 00:34:24,356
I wouldn't have put
a gun in a dead kid's hand.
651
00:34:24,395 --> 00:34:27,558
I hope you're prepared
to go to trial and prove that.
652
00:34:27,598 --> 00:34:29,532
And soon.
653
00:34:29,567 --> 00:34:32,001
I'll see you there.
Yeah.
654
00:34:33,671 --> 00:34:36,504
I don't care. I want you to
try for a deal with Freddo.
655
00:34:36,541 --> 00:34:38,338
Am I mistaken, or did you
just take a stand
656
00:34:38,376 --> 00:34:40,640
about a community having
to have its laws?
657
00:34:40,678 --> 00:34:42,942
That is a public position.
I'm telling you right now
658
00:34:42,980 --> 00:34:44,811
that you do not have
enough to convict Parisi.
659
00:34:44,849 --> 00:34:46,510
Then don't shut me down.
660
00:34:46,551 --> 00:34:49,111
The partner won't roll. You've
got nothing to offer Silky.
661
00:34:49,153 --> 00:34:51,553
And if Freddo's not interested?
662
00:34:51,589 --> 00:34:53,216
Make it sweet,
down for four, out in two.
663
00:34:53,257 --> 00:34:55,191
Convince him.
Adam, really...
664
00:34:55,226 --> 00:34:57,194
99% of the time,
I let you run with it.
665
00:34:57,228 --> 00:34:59,219
I got to do what's
best for the office.
666
00:35:01,632 --> 00:35:03,031
Gentlemen.
667
00:35:03,067 --> 00:35:04,694
Come in.
668
00:35:10,842 --> 00:35:14,300
My lawyer, Mr. Ellery,
says I could use the company.
669
00:35:14,345 --> 00:35:16,404
I'm sure you remember
each other.
670
00:35:16,447 --> 00:35:18,039
Hello.
671
00:35:19,250 --> 00:35:21,684
My ex-wife cleaned up.
672
00:35:23,287 --> 00:35:24,720
Would you like a drink?
673
00:35:24,755 --> 00:35:26,450
No thanks.
674
00:35:27,992 --> 00:35:31,484
No wife, no friends, no nobody.
675
00:35:31,529 --> 00:35:33,554
From what I've seen,
you have plenty of friends.
676
00:35:33,598 --> 00:35:35,190
Protecting their own, pal.
677
00:35:35,233 --> 00:35:37,895
Most of them,
they don't even know me.
678
00:35:37,935 --> 00:35:40,130
A lot of people downtown
would really prefer it
679
00:35:40,171 --> 00:35:41,468
if you didn't go to trial.
680
00:35:41,506 --> 00:35:43,872
If you plead to manslaughter
you can be out in one year.
681
00:35:43,908 --> 00:35:45,500
Two at the most.
682
00:35:47,411 --> 00:35:49,242
You guys...
683
00:35:49,280 --> 00:35:52,681
with your jobs and your suits,
684
00:35:52,717 --> 00:35:54,981
and your press
conferences- Freddo...
685
00:35:55,019 --> 00:35:58,011
You want to take from me
the one thing I got left.
686
00:35:59,490 --> 00:36:03,051
My trial is going to prove that
Ivy League moulanyan was a punk!
687
00:36:08,966 --> 00:36:11,992
I want my day in court.
688
00:36:18,743 --> 00:36:20,438
Before you ran from the police,
689
00:36:20,478 --> 00:36:23,538
did your brother
or Silky Ford have a gun?
690
00:36:23,581 --> 00:36:25,412
Silky had a gun
691
00:36:25,449 --> 00:36:27,110
stuck into his jeans.
692
00:36:27,151 --> 00:36:28,550
Did you see the gun?
693
00:36:28,586 --> 00:36:29,985
I could see the handle.
694
00:36:30,021 --> 00:36:32,387
It was a Magnum,
695
00:36:32,423 --> 00:36:34,084
like Dirty Harry, you know.
696
00:36:34,125 --> 00:36:35,615
"Make my day."
697
00:36:35,660 --> 00:36:37,560
On the street that night
you had a fight,
698
00:36:37,595 --> 00:36:39,028
what was that about?
699
00:36:39,063 --> 00:36:43,523
Silky short-weighted Tommy.
700
00:36:43,568 --> 00:36:46,662
I said something, he pushed me.
701
00:36:46,704 --> 00:36:48,729
Tommy pushed him...
702
00:36:49,740 --> 00:36:51,264
I'm going to ask you
one more time.
703
00:36:51,309 --> 00:36:52,867
Did you ever, at any time,
704
00:36:52,910 --> 00:36:55,174
see your brother carry
or fire a gun?
705
00:36:55,213 --> 00:36:57,545
No. Never.
706
00:36:57,582 --> 00:36:59,482
No further questions.
707
00:37:00,885 --> 00:37:02,614
Oh, boy.
708
00:37:02,653 --> 00:37:04,848
Let's start
from the beginning, Abel.
709
00:37:05,957 --> 00:37:07,754
Isn't it true your brother
was planning to buy
710
00:37:07,792 --> 00:37:10,260
a gun from Silky Ford
that night?
711
00:37:10,294 --> 00:37:12,057
Yeah, but he...
712
00:37:12,096 --> 00:37:14,462
He was planning on
buying a. 357 Magnum.
713
00:37:14,498 --> 00:37:16,898
Yeah, but he never
- Just answer yes or no, please.
714
00:37:16,934 --> 00:37:20,961
Your brother was a student at
Princeton University, is that right?
715
00:37:21,005 --> 00:37:22,939
Objection, Your Honor,
this has all been covered.
716
00:37:22,974 --> 00:37:25,909
I'm trying to establish something
important here, Your Honor.
717
00:37:27,178 --> 00:37:29,544
We'll let Mr. Ellery
travel this road again.
718
00:37:29,580 --> 00:37:31,104
Overruled.
719
00:37:31,148 --> 00:37:33,116
He was a student at Princeton.
720
00:37:33,150 --> 00:37:34,276
Yes.
721
00:37:34,318 --> 00:37:35,876
Were you proud of him?
722
00:37:35,920 --> 00:37:39,989
Everybody was.
723
00:37:40,024 --> 00:37:42,356
And you told people all the
time how proud you were of him?
724
00:37:42,393 --> 00:37:43,951
Of course I did.
725
00:37:43,995 --> 00:37:46,520
Then please tell the jury,
if you were so proud of him,
726
00:37:46,564 --> 00:37:48,794
whether you would
honestly admit
727
00:37:48,833 --> 00:37:50,892
that he was capable
of shooting a policeman?
728
00:37:50,935 --> 00:37:52,493
Objection! Hypothetical.
729
00:37:52,536 --> 00:37:55,596
Sustained. No more
of that, Mr. Ellery.
730
00:37:55,640 --> 00:37:59,542
Abel, were you in the alley
731
00:37:59,577 --> 00:38:01,909
the night your brother
was shot?
732
00:38:01,946 --> 00:38:03,436
You know I wasn't.
733
00:38:03,481 --> 00:38:06,109
So you don't know what
went on then, do you?
734
00:38:10,521 --> 00:38:11,920
It had to happen, Ben.
735
00:38:11,956 --> 00:38:14,220
Did you watch the jury? They
didn't believe a word he said.
736
00:38:14,258 --> 00:38:15,748
Freddo's going to walk.
737
00:38:15,793 --> 00:38:18,626
We could get Davis
to roll if Silky does.
738
00:38:18,663 --> 00:38:21,598
But Silky won't roll unless
he's set up for a felony.
739
00:38:28,506 --> 00:38:30,133
Set him up.
740
00:38:30,174 --> 00:38:31,801
Is that ethical?
741
00:38:31,842 --> 00:38:33,503
It's legal.
742
00:38:33,544 --> 00:38:35,705
In the criminal justice system,
that makes it ethical.
743
00:38:35,746 --> 00:38:37,737
Silky was committing
a felony that night.
744
00:38:37,782 --> 00:38:39,511
Half a pound of crack-
he's a drug dealer.
745
00:38:39,550 --> 00:38:41,950
What do you think
happened in that alley?
746
00:38:43,888 --> 00:38:47,415
Best bet,
Freddo got trigger happy,
747
00:38:47,458 --> 00:38:50,825
shot the kid, told Silky
to take the crack and run.
748
00:38:51,829 --> 00:38:53,694
Call Greevey and Logan.
749
00:38:53,731 --> 00:38:56,097
Set Silky up
for sale-weight.
750
00:38:59,170 --> 00:39:00,967
Hello, Silky.
751
00:39:01,005 --> 00:39:03,235
You looking fine, baby.
752
00:39:03,274 --> 00:39:05,606
I thought with Tommy gone,
you'd be out of business though.
753
00:39:05,643 --> 00:39:07,634
Yeah, well,
I got other customers.
754
00:39:07,678 --> 00:39:11,580
The wire works.
Thank God for small miracles.
755
00:39:11,615 --> 00:39:12,912
You got my rocks?
756
00:39:12,950 --> 00:39:14,941
You know it.
A pound of the best.
757
00:39:14,985 --> 00:39:16,680
Five grand, baby.
758
00:39:20,124 --> 00:39:21,523
Countdown.
759
00:39:21,559 --> 00:39:23,424
Three,
760
00:39:23,461 --> 00:39:25,861
two...
Yeah, baby.
761
00:39:25,896 --> 00:39:27,887
Later.
... one.
762
00:39:27,932 --> 00:39:29,399
Go!
763
00:39:29,433 --> 00:39:30,832
Go, go, go!
Come on!
764
00:39:30,868 --> 00:39:32,802
Freeze, police!
765
00:39:32,837 --> 00:39:34,532
I ain't moving, man.
I ain't moving.
766
00:39:34,572 --> 00:39:36,164
Don't move.
Don't move.
767
00:39:36,574 --> 00:39:39,134
So what, are you going to
protect me for the next 30 years?
768
00:39:39,176 --> 00:39:41,644
You're a
predicate felon, Silky.
769
00:39:41,679 --> 00:39:44,773
You can get put away
for 15 years to life.
770
00:39:50,154 --> 00:39:52,088
Okay, sportsfans,
771
00:39:52,123 --> 00:39:54,421
let's go to the videotape.
772
00:39:54,458 --> 00:39:57,791
Did you see Freddo Parisi
773
00:39:57,828 --> 00:39:59,352
shoot Tommy Richardson?
774
00:39:59,397 --> 00:40:01,865
Freddo says,
"Don't move."
775
00:40:01,899 --> 00:40:04,094
Tommy turns to say something,
776
00:40:04,135 --> 00:40:06,000
and the cop shoots him.
777
00:40:07,037 --> 00:40:09,528
Tommy didn't have no gun.
778
00:40:09,573 --> 00:40:11,006
Freddo takes my gun,
779
00:40:11,041 --> 00:40:13,532
he wipes it on his shirt-
twice...
780
00:40:13,577 --> 00:40:15,875
and puts it in Tommy's hand.
781
00:40:15,913 --> 00:40:18,711
Freddo tells me
to take the dope and leave.
782
00:40:18,749 --> 00:40:21,582
Says it's my lucky day.
783
00:40:21,619 --> 00:40:23,177
Did he say anything else?
784
00:40:23,220 --> 00:40:25,154
Oh yeah.
785
00:40:25,189 --> 00:40:27,555
He says if I tell anybody,
he'll kill me.
786
00:40:28,559 --> 00:40:30,584
At my cell at the Tombs,
787
00:40:30,628 --> 00:40:32,027
he tells me again.
788
00:40:32,062 --> 00:40:34,360
Keep your mouth shut,
or you're dead.
789
00:40:35,466 --> 00:40:38,401
Even if I burn him,
his partner'll get me.
790
00:40:40,304 --> 00:40:43,068
Well, you have five kids,
791
00:40:43,107 --> 00:40:45,337
terrific wife, nice house.
792
00:40:45,376 --> 00:40:47,503
Massapequa, isn't it?
793
00:40:47,545 --> 00:40:49,069
Yeah.
794
00:40:49,113 --> 00:40:50,705
You've eamed five
or six citations,
795
00:40:50,748 --> 00:40:52,079
you have a great record.
796
00:40:52,116 --> 00:40:55,347
Don't let misguided loyalty
ruin your life.
797
00:40:55,386 --> 00:40:58,184
You stay with Freddo,
he'll take you down.
798
00:40:59,390 --> 00:41:01,358
He's my partner.
799
00:41:01,392 --> 00:41:03,360
Something you don't know...
800
00:41:03,394 --> 00:41:05,862
when they brought the
Richardson boy to the morgue,
801
00:41:05,896 --> 00:41:08,490
he had $3,000 on him.
802
00:41:10,367 --> 00:41:12,835
The transaction
never took place.
803
00:41:12,870 --> 00:41:15,737
He never bought Silky's gun.
804
00:41:18,742 --> 00:41:21,040
You weren't even there.
805
00:41:27,785 --> 00:41:30,720
After the incident was
called into Internal Affairs,
806
00:41:30,754 --> 00:41:33,018
what did Patrolman Parisi
tell you?
807
00:41:35,526 --> 00:41:37,756
He said if there was
ever a line-up,
808
00:41:37,795 --> 00:41:40,821
he didn't want me to identify
the guy with the birthmark.
809
00:41:40,865 --> 00:41:42,526
Did he tell you why?
810
00:41:42,566 --> 00:41:45,091
He said I didn't have to worry.
811
00:41:45,135 --> 00:41:47,626
If they picked him up,
812
00:41:47,671 --> 00:41:49,696
he would say he wasn't there.
813
00:41:49,740 --> 00:41:52,971
Did Patrolman Parisi
tell you why he was so certain
814
00:41:53,010 --> 00:41:54,477
you didn't have to worry?
815
00:41:58,082 --> 00:41:59,777
He said...
816
00:42:01,719 --> 00:42:03,448
he let him take the crack,
817
00:42:03,487 --> 00:42:05,978
the stuff he was going to sell.
818
00:42:10,160 --> 00:42:12,856
Were you at all concerned
that Patrolman Parisi
819
00:42:12,897 --> 00:42:14,626
might be wrong?
820
00:42:14,665 --> 00:42:17,099
That the suspect in question
821
00:42:17,134 --> 00:42:19,364
might admit
to being there that night?
822
00:42:19,403 --> 00:42:21,633
No.
823
00:42:21,672 --> 00:42:24,038
Freddo...
824
00:42:24,074 --> 00:42:26,099
Patrolman Parisi...
825
00:42:27,444 --> 00:42:29,139
said it was a sure thing.
826
00:42:30,514 --> 00:42:32,482
The guy didn't dare
open his mouth.
827
00:42:32,516 --> 00:42:34,006
No more questions.
828
00:42:34,051 --> 00:42:36,076
No questions of this witness.
829
00:42:36,120 --> 00:42:37,849
You may step down.
830
00:42:38,889 --> 00:42:41,687
Prosecution calls
Dorian "Silky" Ford.
831
00:42:50,868 --> 00:42:53,598
Mr. Stone, is this
going to take some time?
832
00:42:53,637 --> 00:42:55,400
Yes, Your Honor.
833
00:42:57,207 --> 00:42:59,835
In view of how
late in the day it is,
834
00:42:59,877 --> 00:43:02,277
let's continue tomorrow.
Any objections?
835
00:43:02,313 --> 00:43:04,406
Court is adjourned.
836
00:43:13,991 --> 00:43:17,290
Well, I can't say I'm not glad
the way it turned out.
837
00:43:17,328 --> 00:43:19,319
I don't understand cops.
838
00:43:19,363 --> 00:43:21,695
There is such a thing
as an honorable mistake.
839
00:43:21,732 --> 00:43:23,461
Okay, he shot the kid.
840
00:43:23,500 --> 00:43:25,331
Did he have to plant
a gun on him?
841
00:43:25,369 --> 00:43:28,668
If he'd just admitted it, and
said, "I was scared, I panicked,
842
00:43:28,706 --> 00:43:30,298
I was wrong,"
843
00:43:30,341 --> 00:43:33,003
no jury in the world
would convict him of murder.
844
00:43:33,043 --> 00:43:34,704
If nothing else,
845
00:43:34,745 --> 00:43:37,305
Freddo will never have
a gun in his hand again,
846
00:43:37,348 --> 00:43:39,680
and that's better
for everybody.
847
00:43:46,624 --> 00:43:48,216
Schiff.
848
00:43:51,428 --> 00:43:53,328
Thanks for calling.
849
00:43:57,701 --> 00:44:00,329
Well, won't have
to worry about a verdict.
850
00:44:01,705 --> 00:44:03,673
Freddo just ate his gun.
851
00:44:08,646 --> 00:44:11,137
Now is the time
852
00:44:12,583 --> 00:44:15,484
to remember the real
Tommy Richardson...
853
00:44:16,487 --> 00:44:19,820
and what he meant
to this community.
854
00:44:21,325 --> 00:44:23,589
He was a symbol
855
00:44:24,995 --> 00:44:28,897
of what every child
born into poverty
856
00:44:28,932 --> 00:44:31,093
could achieve.
857
00:44:32,169 --> 00:44:35,935
He gave back to his people...
858
00:44:37,341 --> 00:44:39,741
his time,
859
00:44:39,777 --> 00:44:41,142
his energy...
860
00:44:42,546 --> 00:44:44,411
his love.
861
00:44:46,216 --> 00:44:49,049
And he tried to help
862
00:44:49,086 --> 00:44:50,849
even more.
863
00:44:50,888 --> 00:44:53,482
He tried to help others
864
00:44:53,524 --> 00:44:55,856
by giving money.
865
00:44:56,860 --> 00:44:59,351
But to get that money
866
00:45:00,998 --> 00:45:03,694
he sold drugs.
867
00:45:03,734 --> 00:45:05,929
And he was shot to death,
868
00:45:05,969 --> 00:45:07,800
in the gutter,
869
00:45:07,838 --> 00:45:09,703
because of it.
870
00:45:11,041 --> 00:45:14,033
What T ommy Richardson
wanted to do
871
00:45:14,078 --> 00:45:16,376
for his people was right...
872
00:45:17,981 --> 00:45:21,314
but he did it the wrong way.
873
00:45:22,386 --> 00:45:25,787
And the policeman
who shot him...
874
00:45:25,823 --> 00:45:28,621
that was wrong, too.
875
00:45:30,160 --> 00:45:31,923
But it would not
have happened...
876
00:45:33,997 --> 00:45:36,727
without drugs!
877
00:45:43,874 --> 00:45:45,842
Wandering the halls?
878
00:45:48,078 --> 00:45:52,139
I wanted to say thank you.
879
00:45:53,417 --> 00:45:55,510
I know this was a tough one.
880
00:45:57,588 --> 00:45:59,818
It's the last one.
No more cops.
881
00:45:59,857 --> 00:46:01,290
It's too hard.
882
00:46:03,460 --> 00:46:05,621
Knowwhy I wouldn't let go?
883
00:46:06,797 --> 00:46:09,732
Because there,
