All language subtitles for Law & Order s01e03 .eng

In the criminal justice
system, the people are represented

by two separate yet
equally important groups...

the police
who investigate crime,

and the district attorneys
who prosecute the offenders.

These are their stories.

Upstairs neighbor
complained about the smell.

Don't worry, Max.
It's just three more flights.

Didn't somebody find
the coffee yet?

Whew.

Yo, Profaci!

Hey, Mikey.

Holland, Bobby.
26, 27?

Shot in the back of the head.
Probably two days.

Ask me, it was
probably a dealer.

Weapon?
Still looking.

Who shoots in the head
besides dealers?

A robber who gets surprised?

A burglar so surprised...

he leaves behind a full wallet?

It needs a paint job.

The guy's dead. If they had
a decent door downstairs.

I'm below him.
In 2A.

Did you ever talk to him?

He listened to sad music.

Piano stuff.
Gershwin.

Left early.
Came home late.

You see anybody with him
Saturday night?

Saturday night,
about 1:30

I'm coming back
from Symphony Space.

This guy tears past me.

You get a good look at him?

00 a. m., guy goes running
down the steps in this city?

I've learned not to look.

Brownstones, they're
invitations to get robbed.

How many sets of prints
have you got?

I've got partials
from about a dozen people.

It's what you'd expect.

Unless somebody wiped
the place down.

You run them?
No match.

None of his friends
had records.

Neither did he.

What'd they used to say?

"Live fast, die young,

leave a beautiful
corpse."

whoever shot this one,
didn't care about beautiful.

You should have
seen the apartment.

It was more trashed
than the victim.

Not to boil your coffee
or anything, but...

a guy fights with a burglar.

He gets banged up.

Not the late
Mr. Holland.

Not a bruise, not a mark,
not a scratch on the body,

just a nice, clean
.38 entrance wound.

Close range?
A foot, maybe 18 inches.

Powder burns, stippling.

Check both hands?
They're clean.

Not a trace of powder. The
guy didn't shoot himself.

That's dead certain.

Bobby was big. He...

when he was born
he was over 11 pounds.

He was-
he's always been big.

They...

don't attack big people.
I read it in "The Post."

Could you tell us
about your son's friends,

places he used to hang out?

He-
he...

He kept to himself...
a lot.

He didn't have
a lot of friends.

I should go get his mail.

Bobby have any...
brothers?

Sisters?

After Bobby,
we didn't have anymore.

He was a very difficult birth.

I'm-
I had...

well, there was just...

I've no more children.

And nowwe've lost him.

We lost him
when he moved over the bridge.

Personal possessions.

Things they found on him
when he was brought in.

Would you sign
for them, please?

Took the watch, huh?

An Omega, big heavy job.

Steel.

High school graduation,
it cost me a week's pay.

The band?

It had links.
Tight.

Steel, too. He wore it
to work without worry.

When he first moved to the city
I bought him a gun.

A pistol?
A.38, it was licensed.

I told him,
"Keep it next to the bed."

why didn't he defend himself?

You got a big tough guy,
big enough

to toss most people
around like a pillow.

There's always somebody bigger.

The apartment looked
like Beirut.

And our vic, not a bruise or a cut.

You fight with a crackhead,
you'll get hit, something.

A bullet in the head
is not something?

How'd the perp get in? Fire escape.

Nope. One door,
no fire escape.

Then, maybe we're talking
about a friend here.

A friend with a grudge?
You got something better?

Maybe you should go out, shake up
the ground a little, see who he knew.

Drop that rope!

Mark it
down-side off.

Whoa, whoa, whoa!
Right there! Hold up!

I hope to God
you get who did it.

Bobby was a good man.

Women problems?

Bobby didn't cat around.

Gamble?

Not even a football pool.

Bobby Holland hang out
after work?

Didn't even come
to union meetings.

Mr. Massacio, come on, he must
have hung out with somebody.

Go ask Suarez...

Angel. Sometimes they
had lunch together.

Thanks.

Angel Suarez?

Detective Logan.
Sergeant Greevey.

I already heard about Bobby.

Were you a friend of his?

I knew him.
Real broken up, huh?

If I knew who did him
I'd let you know.

Where were you Saturday night?

In San Juan,
visiting my parents.

I got back Sunday night.

You want to see
my plane ticket?

We're talking murder, here.

Look, the night Bobby got it
he was having a drink

with a friend-
Lois Rivera.

She has a gourmet sandwich cart
on the Upper west Side.

If you guys find the killer

and wanna save the state the
price of a trial, gimme a call.

Thanks.

That night, before I met my sister,

I had a drink with Bobby.

We talked a while
about nothing really.

I just told him
he should go back to school.

City College,
part-time.

Bobby was real smart.

He knew a lot about music.
He read a lot of books.

Anybody want to hurt him?

No.
Nobody I could think of.

Where'd he go
after he left you?

It's Lois, right?

Listen.

Somebody blew
your boyfriend's brains out

with a. 38, okay?

He went to a bar downtown,
Paradise Lost.

Look, I really wasn't
Bobby's girl.

Just a good friend.

Bobby was gay.

You couldn't miss the Why not?

The kind of crowd we get.
You know, average guys.

Construction workers.
Grad students from NYU.

Easy mix.
Neighborhood.

So here's this character
dressed kind of charivari.

Black t-shirt,
gray silk jacket.

You know the look,
"I'm cool and you're not."

You ever seen him
with Holland before?

Bobby doesn't
come in a lot, lately,

more like after work
for a Michelob.

The silk jacket and Bobby

were sitting over there.

Couldn't hear them,
then they were gone.

Silk jacket-
want to know the truth?

I thought he was a hustler.

Something about him.
I don't know.

I don't know.

So he was rough trade.

So they do their thing.

Mr. Silk Jacket
does it all.

Sex. Kills the guy.
Then trashes the place

looking for something to take.

Yeah, and the odds
on finding him?

About as good as finding
true love at Paradise Lost.

I don't know.
His parents, his boss,

his coworkers, his neighbors...

no one knew this guy was gay.

They're out there,
I don't see them either.

Think a lot of cops
are gay? No way, man.

Department's got
a special test.

They look you in the eye,
if your left eye blinks

before your right eye
they know you're gay.

They say one in 10, Max.

That's a lot.
They just fade in.

Silk Jacket? Five to one
he's not in any of these.

Good news and bad news.

The good news is somebody
just walked in and confessed?

The good news is
they found the gun.

Empty lot, six blocks away.

Bad news, wiped clean.

Registration?
You're gonna love this.

Your vic, Bobby Holland.

Terrific.

Bobby was always popular
with the girls.

He was a halfback
on the football team.

He was on the student council.
He was king of the prom.

He hid his magazines
under the mattress.

"Playboy."

My son was not homosexual!

She knows.
She just can't admit it.

Can you? Bobby had
everything going for him.

Any girl he wanted.

His friends would come over,
hang out in the yard...

just to be around him.

Have him throw the football,
like that.

When he dropped
his high school girlfriend...

Beauty.
She was a beauty.

Gorgeous.

He moved to Manhattan.

I go to visit him in the city.

Sometimes... I...

I just stare.

He looked like everybody else.

He talked like everybody else.

Do you know if he
brought people home a lot?

I told him,

"You don't knowwhat kind
of nuts you're meeting.

There's all kinds
of loonies out there."

That's- that's when
I bought him the gun.

What about boyfriends?

He ever tell you anything
about any of them?

What'd I want to hear?
Want to rub my nose in it?

He mentioned one guy.

A- Angel.

Angel... somebody.

Denny Massacio in there,
what do you think he'd say,

you told him Bobby was
gay? Or that you are?

He'd never believe it.
He'd laugh.

And that's how I want it.

What about you
and Bobby Holland?

I used to hate being gay.

I used to make
fag jokes all the time.

You know, the way blacks
call each other nigger?

Anyway, Bobby would never
let me get away with it.

I was in love with Bobby.

So you take a weekend
out of town,

and he picks up
somebody else, huh?

Six, eight weeks ago
he started seeing somebody new.

We were over.

I don't know what this guy had
for him, but they met at the gym.

You know his name? He lives
somewhere on the East Side.

Jack.

I don't know his last name.

Gray silk jacket named Jack.

Great.

A bullet to the head.

This case, I heard
about it before.

What are you a psychic now.

A month ago, maybe two.

The same kind of killing.

Gay bashing?
I read about it.

"Time," "Newsweek,"
last week or the week before.

You sure you didn't read
about this in your dreams?

"California."

"Redwoods."

"Michelle Pfeiffer."

One of them interests you.

"Earthquakes."

And murder.

No prints here either.

Gun was found in an
empty lot, wiped clean.

Burglary?

Uh-huh.

Ripped the place apart.

A week later, another one
just like it in LA.

The vic's address book?

Can you fax it?

212-555-8342.

Yeah, all right.

Thanks.

He's faxing it.

Call Sheriff's Homicide in LA.

Lead investigator's name
is Sam white.

They're not as friendly
in Los Angeles.

Too much sun makes 'em crazy.

Am I sure it's a similar case?

I'm as sure as I can be,
not looking at the bodies.

Right.

Mm-hmm.

The victim had no address book.

Just a lot of phone numbers
on scraps of paper.

Copies?

Oh, an open homicide
investigation?!

What do you think we're doing,
getting cats out of trees?

Look, we link the victims,
we got a case, okay?

Now if you can just send us...

Nobody's asking
for the originals!

Just fax us
whatever you got, okay?

What?
Fax you, okay?

"In an open investigation

we do not release evidence
under any circumstances."

You know how some people
gotta give you a hard time

just to feel like
they're alive.

Let's give 'em
a hard time back.

Look, do they want
an arrest or what?

You put the fire out
and I'll settle this thing.

Yes. Yes, Captain.
Mm-hmm.

Yeah, if it's their collar.

Of course we understand.

Detective Logan has...

been under a little
pressure on this case.

Pressure?

Yes, yes, we would
appreciate that very much.

A courier?

Well, the city
is bankrupt, but...

yes, I think we could
"spring" for a courier.

Uh-huh.
Yeah.

No, no, no.
Thank you, Captain.

You believe that?

They don't want to lose
even a copy of this stuff.

What's with them?

You know, fellas,

at what this courier
is going to cost the city,

I hope this works.

You can cross out

Jack E.
In San Francisco.

He still lives there,
hasn't left town.

That's all the Johns,
Jays, Jacks.

All the last names
with no first initials.

Anybody in San Francisco,
LA or New York.

I got San Francisco, start
with Holland's address book.

Read me off
the last four digits

of any of the ones
with telephone numbers.

"Albano.
4512.

Altman.
1763.

Berry.
9808.

Curry.
4212.

Delorman.
78-"

wait a minute, hold it.

That's Holland's
"J. Curry."

San Francisco's
got "John C."

who lives in New York,
and has the same phone number.

Yeah.

And LA's got...

"J. R.C."

New York.

Same number.

You got the odds
on three murder victims

knowing the same guy?

He was in San Francisco and
LA when the others were killed.

Same days?
And one on either side.

And all three of them had his
name in their address book?

Not to mention Bobby Holland's
new boyfriend's name is Jack.

Enough?

Pick him up.

Bust the door
and then stand back.

My partner and I will go
in first. It's our collar.

That's funny.
I figured Def Leppard.

Maybe Motley Cr e. Ready? Go.

Police! which one
of you is Jack Curry?

I'm Jack Curry. You're
under arrest for the murder

of Bobby Holland! Put
your hands on your head!

But I didn't-
Now!

Check it out.
Get up!

Spread your legs! You have
the right to remain silent.

Anything you say may be used
against you in a court of law.

Hands down!
Get your hand down!

You have the right
to an attorney.

If you cannot afford an attorney, one
will be provided for you at no cost.

Let's go.

His lawyer's already here.

Julia DeBakey.

Great. what? who's she?

Probably the toughest civil rights
lawyer since william Kunstler.

Paul Robinette.
Julia DeBakey.

Your cops put my client
in a holding cell

with a bunch of drug addicts.

Jeez, we tried to get
him a private suite.

Eh, he looks like he survived.

Counselor, this case, it
isn't exactly your ballgame.

Oh, howwrong you are,
Mr. Robinette.

We're building a whole new
ballpark with this one.

I'll allow my client
to answer questions

but I may cut this off
at any time.

Let's start with
the wristwatch, Jack.

Engraved to Bobby Holland
on the back.

Bobby gave it to me
as a present.

Just before you
blew his head off?

To thank me for helping him
to shoot himself.

You want to run that
by us again.

Bobby wanted help-
to commit suicide.

Look, he had AIDS.

He wanted it to look like a
robbery so his mother wouldn't know.

And when you went to visit
Uncle Joe in Los Angeles?

And Aunt Millie
in San Francisco?

You know about them?

Look...

if you commit suicide

you don't get the insurance.

Those men...

Forest? Dodge?

Yes, they pulled
the triggers themselves.

And you just wipe
the gun clean?

My client has nothing to say
about those cases.

What about Bobby Holland?

Do you know
what AIDS looks like?

Have you seen Kaposi's Sarcoma?

Do you know
what pneumocystis does?

What it's like
when you can't breathe?

Dodge won a silver metal
in Seoul.

Forest, used to be
a professor out at UCLA,

PhD in Linguistics.

The last month of his life
he forgot how to tell the time.

Did you shoot Bobby Holland?

Bobby didn't want
to waste away.

Who pulled the trigger?

I held the gun.

Bobby wrapped his hand
around mine.

He said he wanted to die.

I helped Bobby do
what he wanted.

I didn't-
I didn't wanna do it,

but I wasn't
considering myself.

It's called Mercy Killing.

You have 48 hours
to arraign him or let him go.

Ask the medical examiner
if Holland did have AIDS.

You'll get answers
faster than I will.

And if Holland did? Find out about
the victims in LA and San Francisco.

What if they had AIDS, too?

We'll need answers to questions
we haven't even thought of.

The guy's
jive. I'm telling you.

A jury might not think so.

What's a jury going
to think when they hear

Holland never even
touched the gun?

No powder residue on his hands.

Holland had AIDS.
So did San Francisco and LA.

So Curry's telling the truth.
Or part of the truth.

You say it's a mercy killing,
you don't do 15-to-life.

Because somebody has AIDS,
doesn't mean he can't be murdered.

Where's that get us? He's killing
these AIDS patients for kicks?

I hated Bobby being that way.
I hated it.

People he hung out with
- I hated the way he lived his life.

But this guy, Curry,
you shouldn't put him in jail.

He shot your son.

You read the articles?
Newspapers?

Not an easy way to go.

Bobby wanted to die.

You can't be sure of that.

Yes, I can.

Bobby asked me...

to shoot him first.

I knew Bobby was gay.

We just couldn't talk about it.

I'll never have
that chance now.

That bastard, Curry...

killed my son.

You have to put
that man in jail.

The defense is going
to make a very strong case

that your son intended to die.

I've been getting Bobby's mail.

This letter.

"Gay Men Allied
Against Aids."

Bobby had an appointment
with someone

to talk about taking AZT.

My son wanted to live.

Murder in the second degree;

J conspiracy in the first degree;

Manslaughter in
the first degree;

Criminally negligent homicide;

Promoting a suicide attempt;

And reckless endangerment
in the second degree.

Does the defendant wish
to enter a plea?

Yes, Your Honor.
Not guilty on all counts.

Do the people have a bail
recommendation, Mr. Stone?

This case is a homicide,
Your Honor.

Despite the circumstances we feel
that some bail j is necessary.

Personally, I'm uncomfortable
releasing any homicide defendant

without substantial bail,

but I do not feel that this
defendant is a major flight risk.

$50,000.
Short date.

Our government is killing us
through neglect.

The mayor, the governor, the president,
they have blood on their hands.

While we're dying,
they're prosecuting Jack Curry.

Take the money
from the District Attorney

and give it
to the Health Department.

Mr. Gordon, do you
think the prosecution

has hustled the people
with AIDS?

If Bobby Holland was dying
of Alzheimer's

and Jack Curry wasn't gay, would
they charge him with murder?

Every gay activist in the
country is going to be after us.

I understand, Adam, but
gay? straight is not the issue,

murder masquerading as
assisted suicide is the issue.

Let's say we drop the charges
and go for a misdemeanor,

we're not ignoring
the gay? straight question,

we're making it the only
question. And you knowwhat that is?

Good politics.
Yes, and bad law.

It's not compassion.
It's pity for gay people.

And pity is one step away
from ridicule.

Nowwhat if Bobby Holland
wanted to die?

How does anybody knowwhat went
through Bobby Holland's mind

five minutes before he died?
Or two minutes?

Or 20 seconds?
Or one second?

And Jack Curry,
who's done this twice before,

did he talk him into it?

Can't change the fact

that Holland was gay
and Curry is gay.

What I can't change
is that Jack Curry

didn't bring pills
and leave them.

He didn't bring a gun
and leave it.

He pulled the trigger.

Bobby Holland didn't need
an angel of death.

I mean, he wasn't
that sick yet.

Did he want to die?

Look, you're HIV positive,

if you think you'll hang around

till you get sick,
you'll start to feel lousy,

it's hardly unusual
to think about suicide.

Bobby wanted to kill himself.
I told him not to.

And?

He said he'd think about it...

going on AZT,
trying experimental drugs.

I saw Conrad Gordon on TV.

Anybody want to call
Jack Curry a hero,

I tell 'em to look at me.

I was diagnosed with AIDS
when it was

still called GRID,
for God's sake.

I'm still here.

Curry had no right...

to shoot Bobby Holland.

Okay. Thanks.

You're saying Bobby Holland
might have reconsidered.

If he'd reconsidered,
my client wouldn't be here.

You don't know that.
I don't know that.

And even you don't
know that, Mr. Curry.

You were involved in
those cases in California,

do you have a stake in
getting these people to die?

No, Mr. Stone,
I don't.

Did you try to talk
Bobby Holland out of it?

Several times,
over several hours.

He didn't want
to turn into a zombie.

What if it were
your son, Mr. Stone?

If it were my son?

I'd take him to every hospital
in America and try to save him.

We'll plead
to promoting a suicide.

You'll plead
to manslaughter one.

We'll...
drop the other charges

and make a sentencing
recommendation.

Bobby Holland intended
to shoot himself.

Manslaughter one is an admission
my client intended to shoot him.

He didn't shoot him
full of penicillin.

We're finished here, Jack.

Look, Mr. Stone,

I hope you never have to face
these choices yourself.

I hope you never see
anybody dying,

the way I've seen people dying.

But if you do,

I hope you have
the courage to do

whatever has to be done.

What is your position
at the hospice, Mr. Wellman?

I counsel people with AIDS.

Over the past year, how many
people have you counseled?

Short term, over 100. Long
term, perhaps two dozen.

And how long
have you worked there?

11 years.

And everyone
you care for is dying?

We're all dying,
Ms. DeBakey.

I mean, the people in the
hospice are terminally ill.

Most of those who come to us
will die within a year.

Isn't it true
that many cancer patients

j experience excruciating pain?

Yes, that's common.

You ever counseled anyone
to commit suicide?

Objection, relevance.

This trial isn't about
the right to die.

It's about whether the
defendant shot Bobby Holland.

The issues surrounding
"right to die"

are murky in this state,
Mr. Stone.

The testimony
seems to me relevant.

The witness will continue.

I've counseled people
on suicide, yes.

We call it, "Letting yourself
be snowed under."

And what do you counsel them?

We suggest they go to England

where doctors have the right
to assist in dying.

Thank you.

Mr. wellman, have you ever
given to anyone in your hospice

lethal chemicals, a gun...

any device that might
help them commit suicide?

No?
Why not?

I've been told
it's against the law.

We've established a hotline
to answer questions about AIDS.

How many of those calls
have you answered personally?

Thousands.

I volunteer three nights a week.
I've been doing it seven years.

Do the callers ever
ask you about suicide?

Frequently. And what
do you tell them?

That dying of AIDS
is a difficult death.

And that they have the right
to take their own life

when the pain
becomes too great.

Your witness,
Mr. Stone.

Now, Mr. Gordon,
as a gay activist,

you're familiar with the current
state of treatment for AIDS?

Reasonably. And you're aware
that AZT and other drugs

have prolonged the life
of these patients? Yes.

And that people have lived
with AIDS for several years?

Yes, I know that.

But I also know that in the end
it's a gruesome death.

People with AIDS do not "go
gently into that good night."

You also know that some gay
men, out of embarrassment,

might not seek treatment
and commit suicide instead.

Are you in favor of that?

I'm in favor of gay men
taking power over their lives.

No more questions, Your Honor.

Excuse me. Are you
Ben Stone? Yes, sir.

You gay-bashing
son of a bitch!

Leave us alone to run
our own lives and deaths.

It could get worse. what,
you think I need a police guard?

Why, you think it's a joke? Gay
activists don't shoot people.

I wouldn't be so sure
you're safe, Ben.

Jack Curry has AIDS.

Julia DeBakey just released it.

It's time to bail out of this.

It just seems like
revenge at this point.

Find us something.
Anything.

Tonight? Go back over the evidence.

Give us a reason to drop
the charges against Curry.

Anybody got any idea
what we're looking for?

Remeasure everything...

distance of the body
from the bed,

blood markings.
All of it.

And redust for prints.

Make a map of where
you get every print.

How's the jaw?

It only hurts
when I prosecute...

so keep me out of court
until the swelling goes down.

Two bookcases were turned over.

Pushed from behind.
Yeah, we redusted.

Full palm prints
on the back of both.

Both sets of prints
belong to Bobby Holland.

Curry's prints weren't on them.

Which means Holland trashed
the place himself

to make it look
like a burglary.

Which means he wanted to die.

- well, maybe to us.
- Meaning?

It's convincing emotionally
but not legally.

The prints could have been
put there a year before.

And as to state of mind,
he could have changed it

the microsecond before
Curry pulled the trigger.

But does it convince you?

Curry's already
under a sentence of death.

That's as much payment
as anyone could ask for.

Drop it completely? It's
the right thing to do.

He pleads to promoting
a suicide?

He does no time.

Yeah?

You got a copycat.

A woman from Queens
just shot her retarded son.

She says she got the idea
of a mercy killing

from the Holland case.

Well?

I've got no choice.

We keep going.

This morning I was
just another ruthless DA,

now I'm running
the Inquisition.

Mr. Stone, why do you
want to put a dying man in jail?

Mr. Stone,
if you were dying of AIDS

would you want someone
to end your misery?

Mr. Gordon asks, do I want
to put a dying man in jail?

The answer is no. But we're
asking a more important question.

Does Jack Curry have the right,

all by himself, to put
a dying man in his grave?

You allow regular
customers to charge their drinks?

Well, not exactly charge.

You got to make a payment on
your tab every once in a while.

Did Bobby Holland
pay his bill regularly?

He ran a tab, on and off

for the last
two or three years.

Paid a little on it
now and then.

Never let it get
much over a hundred bucks.

Did that change,
M r. Roland?

A couple...

a couple of weeks
before Bobby died,

he comes in and he lays
$120 on the bar and says

this is for the bill,
plus a tip for me.

I said, "Bobby, what?
You hit the lottery?"

He said, "No...

I just wanna
pay my bill."

And after that, he paid cash.

Your own son...

he handed you the gun...

what did you say?

I told him I didn't think
I could go through with it.

And what did he say?

What words did he use?

He said, "Dad...

if you ever wanted to do
anything for me...

do this."

Thank you.

No more questions.

Mr. Holland, I know this is
difficult, so bear with me.

You testified that your son
wanted to shoot himself.

He had a gun, why didn't he?

Were his reasons religious?

No.

Was he worried about the pain
he'd cause other people?

No.

Then why do you think your son
was unable to take his life?

He said he was afraid to die.

Thank you, sir.

Ben!

Ben, DeBakey's putting
Curry on the stand.

Tough to win the hearts
and minds of a jury

by cross-examining
a guy dying of AIDS.

It's still a trial.

And early in the disease

what symptoms have you
personally witnessed?

Exhaustion, dizziness,

the inability
to hold down food,

loss of weight

would be the most visible
symptom. Later in the disease?

A friend of mine-
I'd gone to college with him...

he went blind.

And then he got pneumonia.

Have you ever heard
what it sounds like

when somebody is drowning?

That's what he sounded like.

For six weeks.

You have been diagnosed
with AIDS, is that correct?

Yes.

What do you hope for?

A cure.

And if one does not
come along soon enough?

Hope I'll be lucky enough
to find someone

who'll help me commit suicide.

No more questions.
Your witness.

Mr. Curry...

who pulled the trigger
on the gun?

Answer the question,
please, Mr. Curry.

It was me.

Did Mr. Holland have
his hand on the gun at all?

N- no.

No more questions, Your Honor.

You may step
down, Mr. Curry.

Your Honor, on the basis
of new information

the defense would like to call
an unscheduled witness.

Detective Michael Logan.

Mr. Stone?

No objection, Your Honor.

She has very good sources.

I'd like to know who they are.

Do you swear to tell the truth
and nothing but the truth

so help you God?
I do.

State your name.
Michael Logan.

Your Honor, I would like Detective
Logan treated as a hostile witness.

So noted.

Tell the jury
your profession, please.

I'm a detective with the New
York City Police Department

Detective Logan,

shortly after this trial began,
did you have a conversation

with Assistant District Attorney
Ben Stone about this case?

Yes, I did.

Tell us the substance
of your conversation.

Do I have to answer that,
Judge? Yes, you do, Detective.

Answer the question, Detective.

Mr. Stone said that he thought
continuing the prosecution

seemed like revenge to him.

And what was his solution?

Mr. Stone
directed myself

and Sergeant Greevey
to find a reason

for him to drop the charges
against Jack Curry.

Will the defendant please rise?

On the first
count of the indictment

the charge of murder in the second
degree, how does the jury find?

Not guilty.

On the second count,
the charge of conspiracy

in the first degree,
how does the jury find?

Not guilty.

On the third count, manslaughter
in the first degree,

how does the jury find?
Not guilty.

On the fourth count,

the charge of criminally
negligent homicide,

how does the jury find?
Not guilty.

On the fifth count,

promoting a suicide attempt,

how does the jury find?
Not guilty.

On the sixth count, reckless
endangerment in the second degree

how does the jury find?

Guilty.

I'll catch up with you.

Some people
aren't gonna be happy.

Depends on what you want-
vengeance or justice.

Stone.

Did you really think
that I was guilty of murder?

We bring the charge
when they should be brought

and let the people decide.

I may not have
a very long life left

but it is my life.

This wasn't a prosecution,

this was a warning, wasn't it?

To anybody else thinking
about a mercy killing.

What gave you the right
to use me?

Unfortunately, you did.

Not once, not twice,
but three times.

Thanks, Adam.

After all that, misdemeanor.

Six months suspended
with probation.

No judge will put
Jack Curry in jail.

If you'd gone only
for manslaughter one,

the jury probably
would have found him guilty

and he'd have done time.

I wonder who told
a secretary in your office

to call me about
your conversation with Logan.

I'll have to look into that.
