Narrator:. In the criminal justice
system, the people are represented
2
00:00:04,343 --> 00:00:06,903
by two separate yet
equally important groups-
3
00:00:06,839 --> 00:00:08,704
the police
who investigate crime,
4
00:00:08,663 --> 00:00:11,632
and the district attorneys
who prosecute the offenders.
5
00:00:11,544 --> 00:00:13,205
These are their stories.
6
00:00:21,978 --> 00:00:24,242
Course 1502,
7
00:00:24,187 --> 00:00:26,519
wednesdays, 7:00.
8
00:00:26,459 --> 00:00:28,518
A college degree isn't
good enough for you.
9
00:00:29,531 --> 00:00:31,499
Something wrong
with me improving myself?
10
00:00:31,452 --> 00:00:33,920
Improve my stomach,
will you?
11
00:00:33,853 --> 00:00:35,718
Roast beef on rye,
coffee...
12
00:00:35,677 --> 00:00:37,406
Both:
Very light, no sugar,
13
00:00:37,373 --> 00:00:39,341
no mayo, no mustard.
14
00:00:39,294 --> 00:00:40,784
Very good.
15
00:00:45,471 --> 00:00:46,961
Man: I ain't talking, first of all.
16
00:00:46,943 --> 00:00:48,877
Let's get the stuff.
You'll get your money back.
17
00:00:48,831 --> 00:00:50,162
Yo- Don't you
put your hands-
18
00:00:50,143 --> 00:00:51,940
Freddo!
19
00:01:07,107 --> 00:01:09,098
Go! Go, man!
Go!
20
00:01:09,988 --> 00:01:11,455
Hold it!
21
00:01:12,356 --> 00:01:14,347
Don't move!
22
00:01:15,460 --> 00:01:17,519
Don't even breathe.
23
00:01:20,646 --> 00:01:23,114
Drop down! Now!
24
00:01:41,610 --> 00:01:43,771
He drew on me.
25
00:02:00,845 --> 00:02:02,506
Call it in, Freddo.
26
00:02:04,558 --> 00:02:06,583
Now, Freddo!
27
00:02:08,175 --> 00:02:09,972
Kid's dead.
28
00:03:38,913 --> 00:03:41,143
Logan:
What about your kid?
29
00:03:41,089 --> 00:03:43,148
Cop: Kid I was after I
never got a decent look at.
30
00:03:43,106 --> 00:03:46,439
He was young-
13, 14.
31
00:03:46,338 --> 00:03:48,431
what about the one that
got away from Freddo?
32
00:03:48,386 --> 00:03:50,377
Him I saw.
He had a blotch,
33
00:03:50,339 --> 00:03:52,136
you know, a birthmark,
on his face,
34
00:03:52,099 --> 00:03:55,000
running from here
down to here.
35
00:04:00,708 --> 00:04:02,767
Somebody heard
that shot.
36
00:04:02,726 --> 00:04:05,695
In this neighborhood? You couldn't
get a witness to a sunrise.
37
00:04:05,606 --> 00:04:08,905
Bang on a fewwindows.
ID on the dead kid?
38
00:04:08,806 --> 00:04:11,400
Nothing.
Great.
39
00:04:11,335 --> 00:04:14,099
Freddo, go home,
get some sleep.
40
00:04:14,023 --> 00:04:15,820
Yeah, sleep.
41
00:04:18,408 --> 00:04:21,809
Snitch told him drug sale's
going on down the block.
42
00:04:21,705 --> 00:04:23,332
No muss, no fuss.
43
00:04:23,305 --> 00:04:25,205
Punk drew on him.
Self-defense.
44
00:04:25,162 --> 00:04:27,062
That's it?
wrap it up?
45
00:04:27,018 --> 00:04:28,679
As far as Internal Affairs
is concerned,
46
00:04:28,651 --> 00:04:30,278
yeah, it's closed.
47
00:04:30,251 --> 00:04:32,151
we've still got to do
our own investigation.
48
00:04:32,107 --> 00:04:34,473
we're all one family
here, Sergeant.
49
00:04:34,412 --> 00:04:36,312
You an only child?
50
00:04:36,268 --> 00:04:38,668
I got people in my family,
I wouldn't believe 'em
51
00:04:38,604 --> 00:04:40,663
they told me
the sky was blue.
52
00:04:41,837 --> 00:04:44,135
Max: You think I like
investigating cops?
53
00:04:44,077 --> 00:04:45,977
It's like I've got
something stuck in my throat.
54
00:04:45,934 --> 00:04:47,925
That's not what it looked
like to that Lieutenant-
55
00:04:47,886 --> 00:04:49,945
what his name, Gowdy?
From Internal Affairs.
56
00:04:49,902 --> 00:04:52,598
what, open and shut?
You buy that?
57
00:04:52,527 --> 00:04:54,392
what're you selling, Max?
58
00:04:54,351 --> 00:04:57,013
No witnesses, So?
a dead kid.
59
00:04:56,944 --> 00:04:59,037
If a civilian shot a kid,
no witnesses-
60
00:04:58,992 --> 00:05:00,357
All I'm saying is,
61
00:05:00,337 --> 00:05:02,271
they wouldn't wrap it up
in 10 minutes.
62
00:05:03,185 --> 00:05:06,052
$4 an hour
I paid him.
63
00:05:05,969 --> 00:05:08,301
Good money for delivery.
64
00:05:08,242 --> 00:05:09,766
Disappears.
65
00:05:09,746 --> 00:05:11,907
This shooting in the neighborhood
- you hear about it?
66
00:05:11,859 --> 00:05:13,417
we're canvassing
all the merchants
67
00:05:13,395 --> 00:05:16,262
looking for a young man,
22, 23,
68
00:05:16,179 --> 00:05:19,637
black, with a birthmark
on his cheek.
69
00:05:19,540 --> 00:05:22,941
I got five orders
waiting to deliver.
70
00:05:22,836 --> 00:05:25,862
How long you have to wait before
you report somebody missing, eh?
71
00:05:25,781 --> 00:05:28,944
A birthmark?
Like this?
72
00:05:28,854 --> 00:05:31,516
He comes in
every afternoon.
73
00:05:31,446 --> 00:05:33,380
He buys two
chocolate moon pies.
74
00:05:33,335 --> 00:05:35,895
Two. Hangs out
in the schoolyard.
75
00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:42,945
How're you doing?
76
00:05:42,904 --> 00:05:46,431
¢Ü You ain't cool get outta
my school I'm no fool ¢Ü
77
00:05:46,329 --> 00:05:48,820
You see a guy with a
birthmark on his face?
78
00:05:48,761 --> 00:05:51,491
¢Ü Name of the game
is finding fame ¢Ü
79
00:05:51,419 --> 00:05:52,977
¢Ü Silky's the name
and he's to blame ¢Ü
80
00:05:52,954 --> 00:05:54,353
Silky?
81
00:05:54,331 --> 00:05:56,060
I wouldn't
tell them nothing.
82
00:05:56,028 --> 00:05:57,655
Silky who?
83
00:05:57,628 --> 00:05:59,994
Ford. Lives over
on Vice Avenue.
84
00:05:59,932 --> 00:06:01,559
108.
85
00:06:09,566 --> 00:06:11,158
woman: Silky?
86
00:06:11,134 --> 00:06:12,396
Silky Ford.
87
00:06:12,382 --> 00:06:14,850
Live around here?
Don't I wish he didn't.
88
00:06:14,782 --> 00:06:16,875
He's one of your
favorites, huh?
89
00:06:16,831 --> 00:06:20,665
Some boys make trouble
'cause they got trouble.
90
00:06:20,544 --> 00:06:23,172
Silky, he's looking
for trouble.
91
00:06:23,105 --> 00:06:26,040
what'd he do,
walk off a white man?
92
00:06:25,953 --> 00:06:27,944
Is it this building here?
93
00:06:27,906 --> 00:06:30,704
You all only come up here
94
00:06:30,626 --> 00:06:32,287
when a white man
gets hurt.
95
00:06:32,259 --> 00:06:34,056
why aren't you here
all the time?
96
00:06:34,019 --> 00:06:35,748
Silky Ford?
97
00:06:37,187 --> 00:06:38,814
Fourth floor.
98
00:06:38,787 --> 00:06:40,652
Just come in.
99
00:06:40,612 --> 00:06:42,512
Naw, man,
nobody here but me.
100
00:06:42,469 --> 00:06:44,130
Let's take a look.
101
00:06:44,100 --> 00:06:46,159
Oh, no, you blind
without a warrant!
102
00:06:46,117 --> 00:06:48,051
Let me see that.
103
00:06:48,005 --> 00:06:50,200
Max:
Black male, 5'7",
104
00:06:50,150 --> 00:06:52,550
birthmark
on his right cheek.
105
00:06:52,486 --> 00:06:54,249
Birthmark,
right cheek...
106
00:06:54,214 --> 00:06:56,079
oh, yeah, that sound
like Silky.
107
00:06:56,039 --> 00:06:58,337
You seen him lately?
No, he's...
108
00:06:58,280 --> 00:07:00,214
been in Philadelphia
visiting his sister.
109
00:07:00,167 --> 00:07:02,158
She's in the hospital.
Mumps.
110
00:07:04,072 --> 00:07:07,530
whoa, be gentle,
you want to tear my suits?
111
00:07:07,433 --> 00:07:09,094
where you going, man?
112
00:07:09,065 --> 00:07:11,329
That's just the kitchen.
Ain't nobody in there.
113
00:07:16,971 --> 00:07:19,132
waxing the floor, Silky?
114
00:07:19,083 --> 00:07:21,608
Yeah.
Yeah, we're cleaning up.
115
00:07:21,548 --> 00:07:23,743
Hey, come on, man!
116
00:07:23,692 --> 00:07:25,489
who'd you clean up
last night?
117
00:07:25,453 --> 00:07:27,080
I was home,
all night long.
118
00:07:27,053 --> 00:07:29,021
Doing the floor?
Yeah.
119
00:07:28,973 --> 00:07:30,668
They got dirty
real fast.
120
00:07:30,637 --> 00:07:32,195
we had a party.
who was here?
121
00:07:32,174 --> 00:07:34,335
Me and Richard.
It was a private party.
122
00:07:34,286 --> 00:07:36,584
Let's take a ride,
Silky, huh?
123
00:07:36,527 --> 00:07:38,654
Hey, I got- I got things to
do, man. I got a busy day-
124
00:07:38,607 --> 00:07:41,474
Your first appointment
is with us, okay?
125
00:07:41,392 --> 00:07:43,326
what you looking at?
Come on, man!
126
00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:46,477
Max: Take Davis out the
back before Freddo comes in.
127
00:07:48,497 --> 00:07:50,124
Davis?
128
00:07:50,097 --> 00:07:52,531
what, you think he's
going to lie for Freddo?
129
00:07:52,466 --> 00:07:54,263
No, they're both
choirboys.
130
00:07:55,506 --> 00:07:56,871
Ready?
Yeah.
131
00:07:56,851 --> 00:07:59,513
I even found another black
guy with a birthmark. Great.
132
00:08:07,445 --> 00:08:09,174
Number three.
133
00:08:10,198 --> 00:08:12,530
Number three,
step forward, please.
134
00:08:19,927 --> 00:08:21,895
Yeah.
135
00:08:21,847 --> 00:08:24,077
More than the others.
136
00:08:24,024 --> 00:08:26,254
I'm playing
elimination here.
137
00:08:27,129 --> 00:08:29,029
I saw him 10 seconds,
in the dark.
138
00:08:28,985 --> 00:08:30,680
You want me to say
I'm sure?
139
00:08:30,649 --> 00:08:32,412
I'm not.
140
00:08:32,378 --> 00:08:34,972
Hey, Davis,
take it easy, all right?
141
00:08:34,906 --> 00:08:37,170
I'm not asking you
to lie.
142
00:08:47,260 --> 00:08:49,023
Could be-
143
00:08:48,989 --> 00:08:50,513
could be number three.
144
00:08:50,493 --> 00:08:52,688
Jeez.
145
00:08:52,638 --> 00:08:55,436
I'm not sure enough
for an ID.
146
00:08:56,862 --> 00:08:58,261
It was dark.
147
00:09:00,031 --> 00:09:01,521
what was that about,
148
00:09:01,503 --> 00:09:03,334
keeping those two apart?
149
00:09:03,296 --> 00:09:06,163
10 years ago, I'm working
Central Park in the fall.
150
00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:08,139
The whole place
smells like a sewer.
151
00:09:08,097 --> 00:09:09,689
Captain says
I'm imagining it.
152
00:09:09,665 --> 00:09:11,462
Lieutenant says
I'm imagining it.
153
00:09:11,425 --> 00:09:13,393
Turns out it's some tree
with flowers that rot.
154
00:09:13,346 --> 00:09:15,041
Lasts about a week.
155
00:09:16,258 --> 00:09:18,988
Hey- what, am I
missing something here?
156
00:09:20,227 --> 00:09:22,058
This thing smells, too.
157
00:09:22,019 --> 00:09:24,317
Internal Affairs says
I'm imagining it,
158
00:09:24,260 --> 00:09:26,285
Cragen says
I'm imagining it...
159
00:09:26,244 --> 00:09:27,802
And you're
not imagining it?
160
00:09:27,780 --> 00:09:30,044
On Silky?
Two maybes,
161
00:09:29,989 --> 00:09:31,581
both cops aren't sure?
162
00:09:31,557 --> 00:09:33,957
Max, these guys
are cops.
163
00:09:33,893 --> 00:09:35,827
They're cops.
164
00:09:35,782 --> 00:09:38,808
90% of all police officers
forget about killing.
165
00:09:38,727 --> 00:09:40,820
They go 30 years,
never fire a gun.
166
00:09:40,775 --> 00:09:43,573
Freddo, I heard this morning,
second time.
167
00:09:45,992 --> 00:09:47,926
Makes you wonder,
that's all.
168
00:09:47,881 --> 00:09:49,610
Yeah, and it also
makes you wonder
169
00:09:49,576 --> 00:09:52,511
how many cops died thinking,
"That's not a gun in his hand. "
170
00:09:56,458 --> 00:09:58,392
well, we can't hold Silky.
171
00:10:04,235 --> 00:10:07,068
I sent the prints out.
No ID.
172
00:10:06,988 --> 00:10:08,580
No record?
173
00:10:08,557 --> 00:10:11,287
Came up blank.
You see that evidence bag?
174
00:10:11,213 --> 00:10:12,976
what evidence bag?
175
00:10:13,869 --> 00:10:15,666
I sent it over.
176
00:10:15,630 --> 00:10:19,225
"wheel of Fortune. "
The kid had $3,000 bucks on him.
177
00:10:19,119 --> 00:10:20,780
In his sock.
178
00:10:23,151 --> 00:10:25,142
There's one set
of prints.
179
00:10:25,103 --> 00:10:26,661
The dead kid?
180
00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:28,005
Yeah.
181
00:10:27,984 --> 00:10:30,282
Only one set of prints,
like somebody wiped the gun.
182
00:10:30,225 --> 00:10:32,250
Hey, Max,
you're drawing conclusions.
183
00:10:32,209 --> 00:10:34,040
Let's just say I heard
a dog bark.
184
00:10:34,001 --> 00:10:35,298
Serial number?
185
00:10:35,282 --> 00:10:38,012
It's clean.
Not a file job- acid.
186
00:10:37,938 --> 00:10:41,032
Dog's barking louder.
Ballistics.
187
00:11:04,343 --> 00:11:06,573
Beautiful piece,
that Magnum.
188
00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:10,384
Tender loving care
to clean it off.
189
00:11:10,328 --> 00:11:12,023
Has it been
worked on?
190
00:11:11,992 --> 00:11:13,983
By someone very good.
191
00:11:17,562 --> 00:11:20,531
R-10 twist.
Clear as a bell.
192
00:11:22,491 --> 00:11:26,450
Let's go back a few months,
see if we can find a match.
193
00:11:28,028 --> 00:11:29,518
Logan:
Magnum's clean.
194
00:11:29,500 --> 00:11:30,933
Sources?
195
00:11:30,908 --> 00:11:32,773
Hoover in
washington Heights,
196
00:11:32,733 --> 00:11:34,997
Bernie on 116th Street.
197
00:11:36,061 --> 00:11:37,858
Silky'd stay
close to home.
198
00:11:38,942 --> 00:11:40,603
Bernie.
Bang.
199
00:11:41,887 --> 00:11:43,650
Magnums.
200
00:11:43,615 --> 00:11:45,344
They're like opinions-
everybody's got one.
201
00:11:45,311 --> 00:11:47,176
It's been cleaned up.
202
00:11:50,945 --> 00:11:52,640
Yours?
203
00:11:52,609 --> 00:11:54,236
Nice work,
whoever did it.
204
00:11:54,209 --> 00:11:55,642
New kind of lock?
205
00:11:55,617 --> 00:11:58,518
Double cylinder,
spring release.
206
00:11:58,433 --> 00:12:00,162
Yeah, illegal
in this city.
207
00:12:00,130 --> 00:12:02,064
To install,
not sell.
208
00:12:02,018 --> 00:12:03,542
Unpickable.
209
00:12:03,523 --> 00:12:05,923
Yeah, for six months.
Single cylinder?
210
00:12:05,859 --> 00:12:07,918
wait a minute...
211
00:12:07,876 --> 00:12:09,275
This one hot?
212
00:12:09,252 --> 00:12:11,152
No?
213
00:12:11,109 --> 00:12:14,044
Bust me for a misdemeanor.
I'd be out in an hour.
214
00:12:13,957 --> 00:12:15,948
we keep busting you
and them hours add up.
215
00:12:18,214 --> 00:12:20,546
He dead?
Never laid eyes on him.
216
00:12:25,191 --> 00:12:27,887
You lose a lot of business
when the door's locked.
217
00:12:29,384 --> 00:12:33,184
The Magnum's his.
A month ago. Six weeks.
218
00:12:33,064 --> 00:12:34,292
You positive?
219
00:12:34,281 --> 00:12:36,146
what do you want,
the name of his dog?
220
00:12:36,105 --> 00:12:37,595
Yeah, that's him.
221
00:12:40,266 --> 00:12:42,257
Oh, great.
Hey! what?!
222
00:12:42,218 --> 00:12:43,685
The kid-
the one the cop shot?
223
00:12:43,658 --> 00:12:45,387
He had your gun
in his hand.
224
00:12:45,355 --> 00:12:48,756
Sing a song for me, Silky.
This is murder.
225
00:12:48,652 --> 00:12:50,483
If you're involved
it won't be probation.
226
00:12:50,444 --> 00:12:53,072
The other night, when you were
waxing the floor, this kid with you?
227
00:12:53,005 --> 00:12:55,735
I seen him around,
but I don't know his name.
228
00:12:55,661 --> 00:12:56,787
How did he get
your gun?
229
00:12:56,781 --> 00:12:58,840
I sold it to him.
230
00:12:58,798 --> 00:13:00,732
You don't know his name
and you sold him your gun?
231
00:13:00,686 --> 00:13:02,176
I didn't need
to know his name.
232
00:13:02,158 --> 00:13:03,682
A sister I know
brought him over.
233
00:13:03,663 --> 00:13:06,723
what's her name?
Doris. She's real fresh.
234
00:13:06,639 --> 00:13:08,266
Turn around and put your
hands on top of your head.
235
00:13:08,239 --> 00:13:09,467
For what?
236
00:13:09,456 --> 00:13:11,151
Turn around and put your
hands on top of your head!
237
00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:12,747
Felony, Silky.
Oh, man.
238
00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:15,450
You just confessed
to selling a weapon.
239
00:13:15,377 --> 00:13:17,072
You have the right
to remain silent.
240
00:13:17,041 --> 00:13:19,441
Anything you say... what
is this, a class D? Class E?
241
00:13:19,378 --> 00:13:20,902
Shut up! It's a walk,
I'm out in a day.
242
00:13:20,882 --> 00:13:22,873
You have the right to an
attorney... Silky: Big surprise.
243
00:13:22,834 --> 00:13:23,801
Logan:
Shut up!
244
00:13:23,794 --> 00:13:25,887
Hey.
245
00:13:25,843 --> 00:13:28,744
You knowwhat this
is going to cost me?
246
00:13:28,659 --> 00:13:30,786
My lawyer gets
$300 an hour, man.
247
00:13:30,740 --> 00:13:33,231
Think about where you were
the other night, Silky.
248
00:13:33,172 --> 00:13:34,799
I'd like to know.
249
00:13:38,421 --> 00:13:40,446
Logan: You know
the kid Freddo shot?
250
00:13:40,406 --> 00:13:42,670
Maybe he did
have the gun.
251
00:13:42,614 --> 00:13:45,515
Right. Silky sold him
a Magnum,
252
00:13:45,430 --> 00:13:47,295
he gave him an IOU
253
00:13:47,255 --> 00:13:49,280
and then stuck
$3,000 in his shoe.
254
00:13:49,240 --> 00:13:51,265
Max, he could've bought
the gun a week ago.
255
00:13:51,223 --> 00:13:53,748
Run this by me again.
256
00:13:53,688 --> 00:13:55,747
Freddo and Davis saw
a guy with a birthmark,
257
00:13:55,705 --> 00:13:57,696
but it wasn't Silky.
258
00:13:57,657 --> 00:13:59,716
Silky sold
the dead kid a gun,
259
00:13:59,673 --> 00:14:01,641
but he wasn't there
that night.
260
00:14:07,771 --> 00:14:09,329
I don't know any Silky,
261
00:14:09,308 --> 00:14:11,276
and I don't know nothing
about dope.
262
00:14:11,228 --> 00:14:13,526
who said anything
about dope?
263
00:14:13,468 --> 00:14:16,130
well, I got nothing
to tell you.
264
00:14:16,060 --> 00:14:17,925
How about we take you
down to the precinct?
265
00:14:17,885 --> 00:14:20,217
Come on, you can't take me in.
You got no charge.
266
00:14:20,157 --> 00:14:21,852
Doris, a guy is dead.
267
00:14:21,822 --> 00:14:24,017
Yeah, well, a lot you
care. Logan: Wrong.
268
00:14:23,966 --> 00:14:25,627
You care so much
you probably belong
269
00:14:25,598 --> 00:14:27,259
to the NAACP.
270
00:14:27,231 --> 00:14:29,324
You introduce this kid
to Silky?
271
00:14:29,279 --> 00:14:31,679
Logan: He had Silky's gun
in his hand when he died.
272
00:14:31,615 --> 00:14:34,448
Silky says you were there
when he sold the kid the piece.
273
00:14:34,368 --> 00:14:37,963
No way.
No way, that's a lie.
274
00:14:37,857 --> 00:14:39,848
Max:
Who is he, Doris?
275
00:14:42,658 --> 00:14:44,785
It's T ommy Richardson.
276
00:14:44,739 --> 00:14:46,639
where does he live?
277
00:14:49,251 --> 00:14:52,414
103rd.
Lexington and Park.
278
00:14:53,891 --> 00:14:55,688
You seen
your brother Tommy?
279
00:14:56,644 --> 00:14:58,305
He ain't here.
280
00:14:58,277 --> 00:15:00,643
where is he?
281
00:15:00,581 --> 00:15:02,776
I don't know,
282
00:15:02,726 --> 00:15:05,354
but you better come back
when my mom gets home.
283
00:15:05,286 --> 00:15:07,914
where is your mom,
Abel?
284
00:15:07,846 --> 00:15:09,746
working.
285
00:15:09,703 --> 00:15:11,864
where's she work?
286
00:15:11,816 --> 00:15:14,284
In an office building.
She's a cleaning lady.
287
00:15:14,216 --> 00:15:16,810
She doesn't get back
till 8:00.
288
00:15:18,089 --> 00:15:19,647
Abel, you...
289
00:15:19,625 --> 00:15:21,684
you'd better
come with us.
290
00:15:21,641 --> 00:15:24,166
Abel, why don't you take a
chair right here, all right?
291
00:15:26,154 --> 00:15:27,621
Did you call
Reverend Thayer?
292
00:15:27,595 --> 00:15:30,063
Yeah, we called him.
293
00:15:29,995 --> 00:15:32,793
So when's the last time
you saw your brother?
294
00:15:32,715 --> 00:15:35,206
Abel?
No, no, it's all right.
295
00:15:35,148 --> 00:15:37,480
Reverend Thayer, Detective
Logan, Sergeant Greevey.
296
00:15:37,420 --> 00:15:39,513
Yeah. Bringing a boy down here,
297
00:15:39,469 --> 00:15:41,437
what's the reason?
what'd he do?
298
00:15:41,390 --> 00:15:45,349
It seems his brother pulled a gun
on a policeman the night before last.
299
00:15:45,230 --> 00:15:48,222
No. No, no, no.
You've got the wrong boy.
300
00:15:48,142 --> 00:15:50,269
I don't think so.
301
00:16:14,707 --> 00:16:17,232
Tommy Richardson
wouldn't have a gun.
302
00:16:18,868 --> 00:16:21,268
Tommy Richardson was a...
303
00:16:21,205 --> 00:16:24,368
an honor student
at Princeton University.
304
00:16:51,067 --> 00:16:53,695
Reporter:. Why would a Princeton
honors student shoot a policeman?
305
00:16:53,627 --> 00:16:56,027
Reporter #2: When is an
arrest going to be made?
306
00:16:55,964 --> 00:16:58,797
Reporter #3: Did you know Tommy
Richardson lectured against drugs?
307
00:16:58,716 --> 00:17:01,150
Can you make some kind
of a statement?
308
00:17:02,909 --> 00:17:04,740
whatever happened
that night,
309
00:17:04,701 --> 00:17:08,660
we just got shoved out a plane
at 30,000 feet, no parachute.
310
00:17:12,191 --> 00:17:14,853
Nice, straightforward
little case, huh?
311
00:17:14,783 --> 00:17:17,149
So the wrap-it-up-
no-problem boys said.
312
00:17:17,088 --> 00:17:18,885
we're going to get
strung up.
313
00:17:18,848 --> 00:17:21,817
why did Freddo and Davis go
soft on Silky at the lineup?
314
00:17:21,729 --> 00:17:23,526
They made a mistake.
315
00:17:23,489 --> 00:17:25,855
Yeah, they thought nobody
would know they were lying.
316
00:17:25,794 --> 00:17:27,659
If you're wrong,
and you go after cops-
317
00:17:27,618 --> 00:17:29,586
If I'm wrong,
I'll go the grand jury
318
00:17:29,539 --> 00:17:31,166
and say I
killed the kid.
319
00:17:36,452 --> 00:17:38,613
Yeah, I can use
the time off.
320
00:17:39,524 --> 00:17:41,549
You heard about the kid?
321
00:17:41,509 --> 00:17:43,534
Princeton?
322
00:17:43,492 --> 00:17:45,824
Yeah, just goes
to show you.
323
00:17:45,765 --> 00:17:47,096
Homeboys.
324
00:17:47,077 --> 00:17:48,704
No matter how fancy
you dress 'em up,
325
00:17:48,678 --> 00:17:51,579
they can still gun down a cop
like any street scum.
326
00:17:51,494 --> 00:17:53,962
The dude you and Davis
327
00:17:53,895 --> 00:17:55,385
passed on
in the lineup, Freddo,
328
00:17:55,367 --> 00:17:58,336
it's hard to believe that his
gun was there and he wasn't.
329
00:17:58,247 --> 00:18:01,774
Now if he happens to say
he was there,
330
00:18:01,673 --> 00:18:03,641
and contradicts you-
331
00:18:03,593 --> 00:18:05,390
what is this?
what is this?!
332
00:18:05,353 --> 00:18:07,548
I got 23 years
on the force!
333
00:18:07,497 --> 00:18:09,328
Now who are you
going to trust,
334
00:18:09,290 --> 00:18:11,019
me or some eggplant?!
335
00:18:12,298 --> 00:18:15,790
Gee, Mike, he sure sounds
trustworthy to me. How about you?
336
00:18:15,691 --> 00:18:18,455
Hey, hey!
337
00:18:20,524 --> 00:18:22,389
Easy, Freddo.
338
00:18:22,349 --> 00:18:24,283
Next time you want
to ask me something,
339
00:18:24,237 --> 00:18:26,535
talk to my POBA rep.
340
00:18:27,598 --> 00:18:29,828
Man:
The man has two decades.
341
00:18:29,774 --> 00:18:32,140
From where the Police Officers'
Benevolent Association stands,
342
00:18:32,078 --> 00:18:34,308
that merits
a certain respect.
343
00:18:34,255 --> 00:18:37,190
"Benevolent" means I
don't investigate? Max-
344
00:18:37,104 --> 00:18:39,402
You arrive at the
man's home unannounced,
345
00:18:39,344 --> 00:18:41,972
and you treat him like
some punk murderer-
346
00:18:41,905 --> 00:18:44,135
Freddo's no punk. Oh,
but he is a murderer?
347
00:18:44,080 --> 00:18:46,241
That's what we're
investigating.
348
00:18:46,193 --> 00:18:48,388
Cragen: It is Sergeant
Greevey's job to investigate,
349
00:18:48,337 --> 00:18:49,770
but Max, if you are
all over this officer
350
00:18:49,745 --> 00:18:51,212
it's going
to have to stop.
351
00:18:52,563 --> 00:18:54,258
we'll talk.
352
00:18:59,828 --> 00:19:01,261
Rock and a hard place.
353
00:19:01,236 --> 00:19:03,329
My butt, Max.
Mine, not yours.
354
00:19:03,284 --> 00:19:05,343
This is not a bad cop.
355
00:19:05,301 --> 00:19:07,394
Neither are you,
neither am I,
356
00:19:07,349 --> 00:19:08,782
but some things
we don't do.
357
00:19:08,757 --> 00:19:11,726
we don't fix this fast, the
brotherhood is going to crucify us.
358
00:19:11,638 --> 00:19:14,198
If we do, the black community
is going to crucify us.
359
00:19:14,135 --> 00:19:16,126
Then let's do it right.
360
00:19:29,914 --> 00:19:31,472
Careful.
361
00:19:32,506 --> 00:19:34,565
Yeah, we all
gotta be careful.
362
00:19:34,522 --> 00:19:37,184
More careful
than Freddo was.
363
00:19:37,115 --> 00:19:39,345
Enough people
have already gotten hurt.
364
00:19:39,291 --> 00:19:41,316
which is why
we're investigating.
365
00:19:41,276 --> 00:19:43,301
Detectives.
366
00:19:43,260 --> 00:19:45,353
You sit behind a desk.
367
00:19:46,685 --> 00:19:49,518
You guys have no idea what it's
like on the streets these days.
368
00:19:49,437 --> 00:19:51,735
Come on, what's that
supposed to mean?
369
00:19:51,678 --> 00:19:52,975
Close ranks, Logan.
370
00:19:52,958 --> 00:19:55,358
Hey, I have, okay?
with my partner.
371
00:19:55,294 --> 00:19:56,852
Your partner?
Get off me!
372
00:19:56,831 --> 00:19:58,093
Hey, break it up!
373
00:19:58,079 --> 00:20:00,547
He wants to be a crusader.
Tell him to join the ACLU.
374
00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:03,449
This-
this punk...
375
00:20:03,360 --> 00:20:05,954
okay, he went
to some fancy school-
376
00:20:05,889 --> 00:20:07,550
I don't care if he was
head of the class-
377
00:20:07,521 --> 00:20:10,581
those three skells
were doing a drug deal.
378
00:20:12,770 --> 00:20:14,362
Yeah, well,
379
00:20:14,338 --> 00:20:17,307
we're all on the same side,
right, Davis?
380
00:20:17,218 --> 00:20:18,981
You could've fooled me.
381
00:20:29,317 --> 00:20:32,309
This week-
not easy, is it?
382
00:20:36,486 --> 00:20:39,080
Yeah, well, we're out there
all alone, Max.
383
00:20:41,479 --> 00:20:43,003
Let me tell you something.
384
00:20:43,912 --> 00:20:45,573
Everybody else is wrong,
385
00:20:45,544 --> 00:20:47,171
and I think you like that.
386
00:20:47,144 --> 00:20:50,136
I don't like being told
to roll over.
387
00:20:50,057 --> 00:20:52,582
Davis swears the kid
was doing a drug deal.
388
00:20:52,522 --> 00:20:54,251
He swears it.
389
00:20:54,218 --> 00:20:56,584
Okay, fine.
390
00:20:56,523 --> 00:20:58,650
Assume everybody's
telling the truth.
391
00:20:58,603 --> 00:21:00,969
A Magnum on the street,
what's it go for?
392
00:21:00,907 --> 00:21:02,272
500.
393
00:21:02,251 --> 00:21:03,946
Right.
Half a pound of crack?
394
00:21:03,915 --> 00:21:05,348
2500.
395
00:21:05,325 --> 00:21:08,590
The Richardson kid had
$3,000 bucks in his socks-
396
00:21:08,493 --> 00:21:11,121
supposed to buy a gun
and drugs.
397
00:21:11,053 --> 00:21:13,749
Drug dealers
don't take credit.
398
00:21:16,302 --> 00:21:18,793
All right, the deal
never went down.
399
00:21:19,791 --> 00:21:23,693
which means the kid
never had the gun.
400
00:21:23,568 --> 00:21:25,536
Freddo shot him,
401
00:21:25,488 --> 00:21:28,480
put the Magnum in his hand,
and he gave Silky a walk.
402
00:21:28,401 --> 00:21:31,234
That's why
nobody's talking.
403
00:21:31,153 --> 00:21:34,020
we still got to turn up
the third guy.
404
00:21:35,378 --> 00:21:37,243
If Silky's not
your friend-
405
00:21:37,203 --> 00:21:40,172
I don't have any friends.
They die too quick.
406
00:21:40,083 --> 00:21:41,607
How about enemies?
407
00:21:42,547 --> 00:21:45,778
Enemies, too.
Up here, nobody gets to 40.
408
00:21:45,684 --> 00:21:48,278
Three people
that night, Doris.
409
00:21:48,213 --> 00:21:49,680
You knew Tommy,
410
00:21:49,652 --> 00:21:51,381
you know Silky...
411
00:21:51,349 --> 00:21:54,045
I knowwhatever I tell you
it only means you lock 'em up.
412
00:21:53,974 --> 00:21:55,566
Hey, hey.
413
00:21:55,542 --> 00:21:59,069
we're trying to find out
why Tommy Richardson is dead.
414
00:21:58,966 --> 00:22:00,991
The way we hear it,
he was your friend.
415
00:22:00,951 --> 00:22:04,387
Seems to me you
owe him his propers.
416
00:22:04,280 --> 00:22:06,373
Who was the third guy?
417
00:22:08,697 --> 00:22:11,131
He's just a scared
little boy.
418
00:22:11,065 --> 00:22:13,397
Abel.
419
00:22:13,338 --> 00:22:15,238
Tommy's little brother.
420
00:22:16,698 --> 00:22:18,996
Max: Tommy and Silky
were doing a drug deal.
421
00:22:18,939 --> 00:22:21,772
Logan: You think Tommy
would shoot a cop?
422
00:22:21,691 --> 00:22:23,318
Tommy never had a gun!
423
00:22:23,292 --> 00:22:25,453
If your brother
was here now,
424
00:22:25,404 --> 00:22:27,998
what would
he tell you to do?
425
00:22:31,997 --> 00:22:34,557
Tommy was going
to buy the gun.
426
00:22:34,493 --> 00:22:36,051
For 500?
427
00:22:36,030 --> 00:22:37,998
Yes.
428
00:22:37,950 --> 00:22:39,781
And the dope?
429
00:22:39,742 --> 00:22:41,937
Crack. A half a pound.
430
00:22:41,887 --> 00:22:43,582
For 2500.
431
00:22:43,551 --> 00:22:46,816
20 extra. we were going
to go to the movies.
432
00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:50,298
But the cops came,
we ran-
433
00:22:50,241 --> 00:22:52,835
Silky still had
the gun.
434
00:22:59,138 --> 00:23:00,833
Okay.
435
00:23:01,922 --> 00:23:03,446
Okay what?
436
00:23:05,219 --> 00:23:08,711
Sometimes when I don't want to
see something, I put blinders on.
437
00:23:08,612 --> 00:23:10,705
what's that,
a confession?
438
00:23:12,677 --> 00:23:14,508
It's an apology.
439
00:23:18,982 --> 00:23:20,916
Richardson had the money.
440
00:23:20,870 --> 00:23:22,770
Silky had the gun.
441
00:23:22,727 --> 00:23:25,423
what happened
to the dope?
442
00:23:25,352 --> 00:23:27,217
There was no dope.
443
00:23:27,176 --> 00:23:28,700
Never had it.
444
00:23:28,680 --> 00:23:31,843
Oh yeah, Richardson met
you to buy groceries.
445
00:23:31,753 --> 00:23:35,018
My lawyer, he'll have me
out of here in an hour.
446
00:23:34,921 --> 00:23:37,617
You could still go up on
that gun charge, Silky.
447
00:23:37,545 --> 00:23:40,776
I ain't never been
convicted of no felony.
448
00:23:40,682 --> 00:23:43,150
Even if you prove I sold
him the gun, I still walk.
449
00:23:44,779 --> 00:23:46,508
Jailhouse lawyer here.
450
00:23:46,476 --> 00:23:49,912
A witness puts you
at the scene that night.
451
00:23:49,804 --> 00:23:51,669
Abel.
452
00:23:55,085 --> 00:23:56,712
All right.
453
00:23:56,686 --> 00:23:59,314
I was there.
That's what you want to hear?
454
00:23:59,246 --> 00:24:01,976
Tommy had the gun. He drew
on the cop, the cop shot him.
455
00:24:01,902 --> 00:24:03,164
That's what happened.
456
00:24:03,151 --> 00:24:05,881
You're playing this
all wrong, Silky.
457
00:24:06,863 --> 00:24:08,854
I'm still breathing,
ain't I?
458
00:24:09,744 --> 00:24:12,178
what'd this guy do,
shoot the Pope?
459
00:24:13,105 --> 00:24:14,572
what are you
talking about?
460
00:24:14,545 --> 00:24:16,206
Pretty popular.
461
00:24:16,177 --> 00:24:17,872
Had another cop
in this morning.
462
00:24:17,842 --> 00:24:19,070
who?
463
00:24:20,146 --> 00:24:21,943
Parisi.
464
00:24:21,907 --> 00:24:24,273
Freddo Parisi.
465
00:24:24,211 --> 00:24:27,339
Max: The kid says, "I'm breathing,
" it means "Freddo threatened us. "
466
00:24:27,252 --> 00:24:30,346
I admit it doesn't sound good.
Silky's lying, Freddo's lying,
467
00:24:30,260 --> 00:24:32,888
and Davis is
covering for him.
468
00:24:32,821 --> 00:24:35,688
Freddo's arrested,
maybe somebody breaks.
469
00:24:35,605 --> 00:24:38,165
DA says the same thing,
but it's a cop,
470
00:24:38,101 --> 00:24:40,365
so it's got to be
an Internal Affairs collar.
471
00:24:40,309 --> 00:24:44,245
IAD cuts the guy some slack,
and his own precinct burns him.
472
00:24:44,119 --> 00:24:45,814
what a world.
473
00:25:06,811 --> 00:25:10,303
You're under arrest for
the murder of Thomas Richardson.
474
00:25:11,964 --> 00:25:13,829
You have the right
to remain silent.
475
00:25:13,788 --> 00:25:15,449
Anything you say
can and will be used-
476
00:25:15,421 --> 00:25:17,013
Save it, wiseguy.
477
00:25:16,989 --> 00:25:18,820
I know it by heart.
478
00:25:24,831 --> 00:25:26,560
You're dreaming,
Counselor.
479
00:25:26,527 --> 00:25:29,121
And the Richardson boy?
No record and no gun.
480
00:25:29,056 --> 00:25:30,683
Yeah, says
his 13-year-old brother.
481
00:25:30,656 --> 00:25:32,146
with no reason to lie.
482
00:25:32,128 --> 00:25:34,653
The kid's a lousy witness.
He wasn't even there.
483
00:25:34,592 --> 00:25:36,423
when I get
finished with him,
484
00:25:36,385 --> 00:25:38,615
a jury won't take his word
on what he ate for breakfast.
485
00:25:38,561 --> 00:25:40,586
And patrolman Parisi?
486
00:25:40,546 --> 00:25:43,344
A veteran cop.
His word, Davis' word,
487
00:25:43,266 --> 00:25:45,234
Silky's word,
all against the kid,
488
00:25:45,187 --> 00:25:47,883
who wants to protect
his brother's reputation.
489
00:25:47,811 --> 00:25:49,642
Who's a jury
going to believe?
490
00:25:49,603 --> 00:25:51,833
By the time we go
to trial, Patrolman,
491
00:25:51,780 --> 00:25:53,839
Silky'll be telling
the truth.
492
00:25:54,724 --> 00:25:56,248
It turns out
Abel's not clean,
493
00:25:56,229 --> 00:25:58,390
they scuff him up
on the stand, Freddo walks.
494
00:25:58,341 --> 00:26:00,309
Abel has no record.
Neither did his brother.
495
00:26:00,261 --> 00:26:02,456
I don't want a last minute
sandbag. Make sure, Paul.
496
00:26:05,670 --> 00:26:07,797
Thayer:.
Abel's been in no trouble!
497
00:26:09,159 --> 00:26:12,595
You going to see your brother,
Tommy Richardson, gets justice?
498
00:26:12,487 --> 00:26:14,318
I'm an officer of the court.
499
00:26:14,280 --> 00:26:16,271
I'll investigate
every aspect of the case.
500
00:26:16,232 --> 00:26:18,666
Color has-
Nothing to do with it.
501
00:26:23,306 --> 00:26:26,070
Maybe I'm mistaken
who you are.
502
00:26:27,083 --> 00:26:29,347
You grow up
on Park Avenue,
503
00:26:29,291 --> 00:26:31,020
south of 96th Street?
504
00:26:30,987 --> 00:26:33,046
That isn't relevant to this.
505
00:26:33,004 --> 00:26:34,528
No?
506
00:26:34,508 --> 00:26:37,306
No father?
That's right.
507
00:26:38,349 --> 00:26:40,044
Took off?
508
00:26:40,013 --> 00:26:42,038
Even you, Mr. Robinette?
509
00:26:41,998 --> 00:26:45,900
All black fathers
leave their children?
510
00:26:47,279 --> 00:26:49,770
Tommy Richardson's father
was a subway motorman.
511
00:26:49,711 --> 00:26:52,111
Usually worked
two shifts.
512
00:26:52,048 --> 00:26:55,575
Somebody shot him
for $20 bucks he'd won at OTB.
513
00:26:56,624 --> 00:26:59,957
Now Tommy Richardson
was a hero in this community.
514
00:26:59,857 --> 00:27:02,883
He came from
a good family.
515
00:27:02,802 --> 00:27:04,702
He went
to a good college.
516
00:27:04,658 --> 00:27:07,525
He brought home money
for the church,
517
00:27:07,443 --> 00:27:10,503
for the Children's
Enrichment Program,
518
00:27:10,419 --> 00:27:11,943
for the boy's choir...
519
00:27:11,923 --> 00:27:14,323
How much money?
From where?
520
00:27:14,260 --> 00:27:17,286
Family named Harriman.
521
00:27:17,205 --> 00:27:19,799
Tommy's college roommate.
522
00:27:19,733 --> 00:27:22,930
They gave $48,000
in secret.
523
00:27:24,886 --> 00:27:26,786
How much?
524
00:27:27,831 --> 00:27:30,459
$48,000.
525
00:27:30,391 --> 00:27:31,858
My God.
526
00:27:31,831 --> 00:27:33,856
Your family didn't
give the money?
527
00:27:34,968 --> 00:27:36,435
where'd he get it?
528
00:27:37,912 --> 00:27:40,813
Till the end
of the semester,
529
00:27:40,729 --> 00:27:42,890
I really like Tommy.
530
00:27:42,842 --> 00:27:45,003
He was smart, funny.
531
00:27:44,954 --> 00:27:47,980
Exam period,
I'd come back at night
532
00:27:47,899 --> 00:27:50,891
and the people
he was hanging out with...
533
00:27:50,811 --> 00:27:53,041
Street people.
Yeah...
534
00:27:52,988 --> 00:27:54,922
wall Street.
535
00:27:54,875 --> 00:27:57,969
J. Press suits,
Fischer skis, Beamers.
536
00:27:57,884 --> 00:27:59,647
Trust fund babies.
537
00:27:59,613 --> 00:28:02,912
Tommy... it was like
he was in China.
538
00:28:02,813 --> 00:28:04,747
Didn't know the language,
539
00:28:04,702 --> 00:28:06,693
couldn't make friends.
540
00:28:06,654 --> 00:28:08,281
These guys wanted
to score some coke,
541
00:28:08,255 --> 00:28:12,487
and Tommy's black-
like he ought to know.
542
00:28:12,352 --> 00:28:14,149
Friendship
wasn't the point.
543
00:28:14,112 --> 00:28:15,545
Customers.
544
00:28:15,520 --> 00:28:16,919
You know any of them?
545
00:28:16,896 --> 00:28:18,761
wesley Parker.
546
00:28:18,721 --> 00:28:20,484
Have a seat.
547
00:28:20,448 --> 00:28:23,042
Robinette: I want to talk to
you about Tommy Richardson.
548
00:28:22,977 --> 00:28:24,945
what about him?
549
00:28:26,818 --> 00:28:28,718
He sold you drugs.
550
00:28:28,675 --> 00:28:30,506
No way, man.
551
00:28:30,467 --> 00:28:33,334
I don't know who you've been
talking to, but there's no way-
552
00:28:33,251 --> 00:28:35,776
I take a walk around here,
you think I'll find some dope?
553
00:28:35,715 --> 00:28:37,444
whatever you want
to know.
554
00:28:38,468 --> 00:28:40,231
why'd you hang
with Tommy?
555
00:28:40,197 --> 00:28:42,995
I don't want to get myself
arrested here.
556
00:28:46,342 --> 00:28:48,970
Let's say Tommy never
got me any drugs.
557
00:28:48,902 --> 00:28:50,699
But your friends...
558
00:28:51,783 --> 00:28:53,774
Tommy was tough,
he knew how the world worked.
559
00:28:53,736 --> 00:28:56,830
You knowwhat I mean?
560
00:28:56,744 --> 00:28:58,803
He was going to be
real major...
561
00:28:58,760 --> 00:29:00,557
Yeah, wesley,
562
00:29:00,520 --> 00:29:02,249
a major homicide.
563
00:29:02,217 --> 00:29:05,118
Crowd: we want justice!
we want justice!
564
00:29:07,146 --> 00:29:09,546
Robinette:
To them, he's a hero.
565
00:29:09,482 --> 00:29:11,507
we're going
to destroy that dream.
566
00:29:11,467 --> 00:29:14,334
The truth will set you free.
It won't always make you happy.
567
00:29:14,251 --> 00:29:15,912
But he wasn't all bad.
568
00:29:15,883 --> 00:29:18,044
A trial, Ben-
his name's dirt.
569
00:29:17,996 --> 00:29:20,089
In Harlem,
570
00:29:20,044 --> 00:29:21,602
a kid goes away
to a good school,
571
00:29:21,581 --> 00:29:23,879
brings back money
to the community-
572
00:29:23,821 --> 00:29:25,413
A candidate for sainthood?
573
00:29:25,389 --> 00:29:26,822
The good part
of him, yeah.
574
00:29:26,798 --> 00:29:29,323
Maybe he needed the bad part
to make the good part work.
575
00:29:29,262 --> 00:29:32,789
Maybe being the tough black
kid at college, the street kid,
576
00:29:32,687 --> 00:29:35,520
helped him to come home
and give away money.
577
00:29:35,440 --> 00:29:37,806
Robin Hood? You think
that'll play with the jury?
578
00:29:37,744 --> 00:29:39,075
They find out
he's a drug dealer,
579
00:29:39,056 --> 00:29:40,887
they'll never believe
he didn't have a gun.
580
00:29:40,848 --> 00:29:43,976
Then make a deal. Freddo
does a couple of years,
581
00:29:43,889 --> 00:29:45,481
Tommy's name
stays clean.
582
00:29:45,457 --> 00:29:47,948
Can't do it, Paul.
You can't let killers walk.
583
00:29:49,650 --> 00:29:51,481
Stone.
584
00:29:51,443 --> 00:29:53,240
Yes, send them in.
585
00:29:53,203 --> 00:29:54,795
The Richardsons.
586
00:29:56,371 --> 00:29:58,896
Mrs. Richardson,
thanks for coming down.
587
00:29:58,836 --> 00:30:00,599
Is this Abel?
Yes, it is.
588
00:30:00,564 --> 00:30:02,532
How do you do?
Come in, sit right down.
589
00:30:08,693 --> 00:30:10,422
Mrs. Richardson,
590
00:30:10,390 --> 00:30:12,119
when this case
goes to trial,
591
00:30:12,086 --> 00:30:15,283
there may be unpleasant things
said about your son.
592
00:30:15,191 --> 00:30:18,558
I read in the papers
593
00:30:18,455 --> 00:30:20,946
that the policeman
could go free.
594
00:30:22,969 --> 00:30:25,369
Mrs. Richardson-
595
00:30:25,305 --> 00:30:27,500
My husband was killed.
596
00:30:28,698 --> 00:30:31,223
Tommy was 10 years old.
597
00:30:31,162 --> 00:30:33,562
That boy...
598
00:30:35,099 --> 00:30:38,557
he started coming home from
school late, two, three hours.
599
00:30:38,459 --> 00:30:41,519
I thought he was hanging out
on the streets.
600
00:30:41,437 --> 00:30:43,371
After school job
made him late.
601
00:30:43,324 --> 00:30:46,259
Delivering groceries...
602
00:30:47,229 --> 00:30:48,821
to help me out.
603
00:30:49,981 --> 00:30:53,007
Tommy spent
his whole life
604
00:30:52,926 --> 00:30:55,156
just taking care
of other people.
605
00:30:56,319 --> 00:30:58,344
He had some problems.
606
00:31:00,800 --> 00:31:02,995
My boy got out
of Harlem.
607
00:31:02,944 --> 00:31:06,539
That's what white people
wanted him to do,
608
00:31:06,433 --> 00:31:08,424
and it's what I wanted
him to do.
609
00:31:09,762 --> 00:31:13,220
Mr. Stone, could I talk
to you outside for a second?
610
00:31:14,402 --> 00:31:16,063
You're going
to kill my mom.
611
00:31:16,035 --> 00:31:17,662
This drug deal
on the street, Abel-
612
00:31:17,635 --> 00:31:19,466
this wasn't
a one shot thing, was it?
613
00:31:19,428 --> 00:31:21,919
You can't do this to my
mom. It's not us doing it.
614
00:31:21,860 --> 00:31:23,760
Reverend Thayer,
your mother-
615
00:31:23,717 --> 00:31:25,344
everybody wants justice.
616
00:31:25,316 --> 00:31:27,580
But I have to know
what really happened.
617
00:31:27,526 --> 00:31:29,153
Tommy was moving
a ton of dope.
618
00:31:29,126 --> 00:31:30,753
At Princeton?
619
00:31:30,726 --> 00:31:32,159
Every two weeks.
620
00:31:32,134 --> 00:31:33,567
He buy it here?
621
00:31:34,887 --> 00:31:37,082
Had- had this mule,
622
00:31:37,031 --> 00:31:39,329
moved it down
the drain.
623
00:31:39,271 --> 00:31:41,364
This mule
have a name?
624
00:31:41,320 --> 00:31:43,288
A girl.
625
00:31:43,241 --> 00:31:45,368
Girl named Doris.
626
00:31:45,320 --> 00:31:47,618
Doris:
I don't know nothing, okay?
627
00:31:47,561 --> 00:31:50,121
He's dead and I'm still here,
that's all I know.
628
00:31:50,058 --> 00:31:52,925
when you were on the stroll
- That's old news.
629
00:31:52,842 --> 00:31:55,242
Not old enough for the
statute of limitations.
630
00:31:55,178 --> 00:31:56,975
You jumped bail,
three times.
631
00:31:56,939 --> 00:31:58,964
I forgot to show up at
court. You want a reminder?
632
00:31:58,923 --> 00:32:00,914
Okay, you want it
straight up, Oreo?
633
00:32:00,876 --> 00:32:02,741
Tommy asked me
to score some coke.
634
00:32:02,700 --> 00:32:04,395
Gave me money,
train ticket,
635
00:32:04,365 --> 00:32:06,458
said to bring it to him
someplace in Jersey.
636
00:32:06,413 --> 00:32:09,143
Smart move, Doris. He paid me
so much I stopped turning tricks.
637
00:32:09,070 --> 00:32:10,697
'Cause of him I got
out of the life.
638
00:32:10,670 --> 00:32:12,228
Great, hooking
to drug dealing?
639
00:32:12,205 --> 00:32:15,606
which would you rather sell,
drugs or your body?
640
00:32:19,151 --> 00:32:21,585
we want justice!
we want justice...
641
00:32:28,529 --> 00:32:32,226
New York's finest!
New York's finest...
642
00:32:40,692 --> 00:32:43,354
Yeah, real stupid, Stone.
643
00:32:43,283 --> 00:32:45,513
Grand jury's decision,
not mine.
644
00:32:45,460 --> 00:32:46,984
I'm not going to have
to smear that kid.
645
00:32:46,965 --> 00:32:48,762
He already smeared
himself.
646
00:32:48,725 --> 00:32:52,183
Tommy Richardson's dead. He's not
on trial for drugs or anything else.
647
00:32:52,085 --> 00:32:53,848
Freddo had every reason
to believe
648
00:32:53,814 --> 00:32:55,145
that the kid was
going to shoot him.
649
00:32:55,126 --> 00:32:57,686
You, in Freddo's shoes,
what would you have done?
650
00:32:57,623 --> 00:33:00,353
I wouldn't have put
a gun in a dead kid's hand.
651
00:33:00,279 --> 00:33:03,442
I hope you're prepared
to go to trial and prove that.
652
00:33:03,351 --> 00:33:05,285
And soon.
653
00:33:05,240 --> 00:33:07,674
I'll see you there.
Yeah.
654
00:33:09,177 --> 00:33:12,010
I don't care. I want you to
try for a deal with Freddo.
655
00:33:11,930 --> 00:33:13,727
Am I mistaken, or did you
just take a stand
656
00:33:13,690 --> 00:33:15,954
about a community having
to have its laws?
657
00:33:15,898 --> 00:33:18,162
That is a public position.
I'm telling you right now
658
00:33:18,106 --> 00:33:19,937
that you do not have
enough to convict Parisi.
659
00:33:19,899 --> 00:33:21,560
Then don't shut me down.
660
00:33:21,532 --> 00:33:24,092
The partner won't roll. You've
got nothing to offer Silky.
661
00:33:24,028 --> 00:33:26,428
And if Freddo's
not interested?
662
00:33:26,364 --> 00:33:27,991
Make it sweet,
down for four, out in two.
663
00:33:27,964 --> 00:33:29,898
Convince him.
Adam, really-
664
00:33:29,853 --> 00:33:31,821
99% of the time,
I let you run with it.
665
00:33:31,773 --> 00:33:33,764
I got to do what's
best for the office.
666
00:33:35,998 --> 00:33:37,397
Gentlemen.
667
00:33:37,374 --> 00:33:39,001
Come in.
668
00:33:44,832 --> 00:33:48,290
My lawyer, Mr. Ellery,
says I could use the company.
669
00:33:48,192 --> 00:33:50,251
I'm sure you remember
each other.
670
00:33:50,209 --> 00:33:51,801
Hello.
671
00:33:52,898 --> 00:33:55,332
My ex-wife cleaned up.
672
00:33:56,770 --> 00:33:58,203
would you like a drink?
673
00:33:58,178 --> 00:33:59,873
No thanks.
674
00:34:01,283 --> 00:34:04,775
No wife, no friends,
no nobody.
675
00:34:04,676 --> 00:34:06,701
Robinette: From what I've seen,
you have plenty of friends.
676
00:34:06,661 --> 00:34:08,253
Protecting their own, pal.
677
00:34:08,229 --> 00:34:10,891
Most of them,
they don't even know me.
678
00:34:10,821 --> 00:34:13,016
A lot of people downtown
would really prefer it
679
00:34:12,966 --> 00:34:14,263
if you didn't go
to trial.
680
00:34:14,246 --> 00:34:16,612
If you plead to manslaughter
you can be out in one year.
681
00:34:16,550 --> 00:34:18,142
Two at the most.
682
00:34:19,910 --> 00:34:21,741
You guys...
683
00:34:21,703 --> 00:34:25,104
with your jobs
and your suits,
684
00:34:25,000 --> 00:34:27,264
and your press
conferences- Freddo-
685
00:34:27,208 --> 00:34:30,200
You want to take from me
the one thing I got left.
686
00:34:31,497 --> 00:34:35,058
My trial is going to prove that
Ivy League moulanyan was a punk!
687
00:34:40,586 --> 00:34:43,612
I want my day in court.
688
00:34:49,965 --> 00:34:51,660
Before you ran
from the police,
689
00:34:51,629 --> 00:34:54,689
did your brother
or Silky Ford have a gun?
690
00:34:54,606 --> 00:34:56,437
Silky had a gun
691
00:34:56,397 --> 00:34:58,058
stuck into his jeans.
692
00:34:58,030 --> 00:34:59,429
Did you see the gun?
693
00:34:59,407 --> 00:35:00,806
I could see the handle.
694
00:35:00,783 --> 00:35:03,149
It was a Magnum,
695
00:35:03,087 --> 00:35:04,748
like Dirty Harry, you know.
696
00:35:04,720 --> 00:35:06,210
"Make my day. "
697
00:35:06,192 --> 00:35:08,092
On the street that night
you had a fight,
698
00:35:08,048 --> 00:35:09,481
what was that about?
699
00:35:09,456 --> 00:35:13,916
Silky short-weighted Tommy.
700
00:35:13,778 --> 00:35:16,872
I said something,
he pushed me.
701
00:35:16,786 --> 00:35:18,811
Tommy pushed him...
702
00:35:19,698 --> 00:35:21,222
I'm going to ask you
one more time.
703
00:35:21,203 --> 00:35:22,761
Did you ever, at any time,
704
00:35:22,739 --> 00:35:25,003
see your brother carry
or fire a gun?
705
00:35:24,948 --> 00:35:27,280
No. Never.
706
00:35:27,220 --> 00:35:29,120
No further questions.
707
00:35:30,389 --> 00:35:32,118
Oh, boy.
708
00:35:32,085 --> 00:35:34,280
Let's start
from the beginning, Abel.
709
00:35:35,254 --> 00:35:37,051
Isn't it true your brother
was planning to buy
710
00:35:37,014 --> 00:35:39,482
a gun from Silky Ford
that night?
711
00:35:39,414 --> 00:35:41,177
Yeah, but he-
712
00:35:41,143 --> 00:35:43,509
He was planning on
buying a. 357 Magnum.
713
00:35:43,447 --> 00:35:45,847
Yeah, but he never
- Just answer yes or no, please.
714
00:35:45,783 --> 00:35:49,810
Your brother was a student at
Princeton University, is that right?
715
00:35:49,688 --> 00:35:51,622
Objection, Your Honor,
this has all been covered.
716
00:35:51,577 --> 00:35:54,512
I'm trying to establish something
important here, Your Honor.
717
00:35:55,610 --> 00:35:57,976
we'll let Mr. Ellery
travel this road again.
718
00:35:57,914 --> 00:35:59,438
Overruled.
719
00:35:59,418 --> 00:36:01,386
Ellery: He was a
student at Princeton.
720
00:36:01,338 --> 00:36:02,464
Abel: Yes.
721
00:36:02,458 --> 00:36:04,016
Ellery:
Were you proud of him?
722
00:36:03,995 --> 00:36:08,064
Everybody was.
723
00:36:07,932 --> 00:36:10,264
And you told people all the
time how proud you were of him?
724
00:36:10,204 --> 00:36:11,762
Of course I did.
725
00:36:11,741 --> 00:36:14,266
Then please tell the jury,
if you were so proud of him,
726
00:36:14,205 --> 00:36:16,435
whether you would
honestly admit
727
00:36:16,382 --> 00:36:18,441
that he was capable
of shooting a policeman?
728
00:36:18,398 --> 00:36:19,956
Objection! Hypothetical.
729
00:36:19,934 --> 00:36:22,994
Sustained. No more
of that, Mr. Ellery.
730
00:36:22,911 --> 00:36:26,813
Abel, were you
in the alley
731
00:36:26,688 --> 00:36:29,020
the night your brother
was shot?
732
00:36:28,960 --> 00:36:30,450
You know I wasn't.
733
00:36:30,432 --> 00:36:33,060
So you don't know what
went on then, do you?
734
00:36:37,185 --> 00:36:38,584
It had to happen, Ben.
735
00:36:38,562 --> 00:36:40,826
Did you watch the jury? They
didn't believe a word he said.
736
00:36:40,770 --> 00:36:42,260
Freddo's going
to walk.
737
00:36:42,242 --> 00:36:45,075
we could get Davis
to roll if Silky does.
738
00:36:44,995 --> 00:36:47,930
But Silky won't roll unless
he's set up for a felony.
739
00:36:54,437 --> 00:36:56,064
Set him up.
740
00:36:56,037 --> 00:36:57,664
Is that ethical?
741
00:36:57,637 --> 00:36:59,298
It's legal.
742
00:36:59,270 --> 00:37:01,431
In the criminal justice system,
that makes it ethical.
743
00:37:01,382 --> 00:37:03,373
Silky was committing
a felony that night.
744
00:37:03,335 --> 00:37:05,064
Half a pound of crack-
he's a drug dealer.
745
00:37:05,031 --> 00:37:07,431
What do you think
happened in that alley?
746
00:37:09,192 --> 00:37:12,719
Best bet,
Freddo got trigger happy,
747
00:37:12,616 --> 00:37:15,983
shot the kid, told Silky
to take the crack and run.
748
00:37:16,809 --> 00:37:18,674
Call Greevey and Logan.
749
00:37:18,634 --> 00:37:21,000
Set Silky up
for sale-weight.
750
00:37:23,851 --> 00:37:25,648
Doris:
Hello, Silky.
751
00:37:25,611 --> 00:37:27,841
You looking fine, baby.
752
00:37:27,788 --> 00:37:30,120
I thought with Tommy gone,
you'd be out of business though.
753
00:37:30,060 --> 00:37:32,051
Yeah, well,
I got other customers.
754
00:37:32,012 --> 00:37:35,914
The wire works.
Thank God for small miracles.
755
00:37:35,788 --> 00:37:37,085
Doris:
You got my rocks?
756
00:37:37,069 --> 00:37:39,060
Silky: You know it.
A pound of the best.
757
00:37:39,021 --> 00:37:40,716
Five grand, baby.
758
00:37:43,950 --> 00:37:45,349
Countdown.
759
00:37:45,327 --> 00:37:47,192
Max:
Three,
760
00:37:47,151 --> 00:37:49,551
two...
Yeah, baby.
761
00:37:49,487 --> 00:37:51,478
Later.
... one.
762
00:37:51,440 --> 00:37:52,907
Go!
763
00:37:52,880 --> 00:37:54,279
Go, go, go!
Come on!
764
00:37:54,256 --> 00:37:56,190
Cop:
Freeze, police!
765
00:37:56,145 --> 00:37:57,840
I ain't moving, man.
I ain't moving.
766
00:37:57,809 --> 00:37:59,401
Don't move.
Don't move.
767
00:37:59,730 --> 00:38:02,290
So what, are you going to
protect me for the next 30 years?
768
00:38:02,226 --> 00:38:04,694
Stone: You're a
predicate felon, Silky.
769
00:38:04,627 --> 00:38:07,721
You can get put away
for 15 years to life.
770
00:38:12,756 --> 00:38:14,690
Okay, sportsfans,
771
00:38:14,645 --> 00:38:16,943
let's go
to the videotape.
772
00:38:16,885 --> 00:38:20,218
Did you see Freddo Parisi
773
00:38:20,117 --> 00:38:21,641
shoot Tommy Richardson?
774
00:38:21,622 --> 00:38:24,090
Freddo says,
"Don't move. "
775
00:38:24,022 --> 00:38:26,217
Tommy turns
to say something,
776
00:38:26,167 --> 00:38:28,032
and the cop shoots him.
777
00:38:28,951 --> 00:38:31,442
Tommy didn't have no gun.
778
00:38:31,383 --> 00:38:32,816
Freddo takes my gun,
779
00:38:32,791 --> 00:38:35,282
he wipes it on his shirt-
twice-
780
00:38:35,224 --> 00:38:37,522
and puts it
in Tommy's hand.
781
00:38:37,465 --> 00:38:40,263
Freddo tells me
to take the dope and leave.
782
00:38:40,185 --> 00:38:43,018
Says it's my lucky day.
783
00:38:42,938 --> 00:38:44,496
Did he say anything else?
784
00:38:44,474 --> 00:38:46,408
Oh yeah.
785
00:38:46,363 --> 00:38:48,729
He says if I tell anybody,
he'll kill me.
786
00:38:49,595 --> 00:38:51,620
At my cell at the Tombs,
787
00:38:51,580 --> 00:38:52,979
he tells me again.
788
00:38:52,955 --> 00:38:55,253
Keep your mouth shut,
or you're dead.
789
00:38:56,221 --> 00:38:59,156
Even if I burn him,
his partner'll get me.
790
00:39:00,861 --> 00:39:03,625
well, you have five kids,
791
00:39:03,550 --> 00:39:05,780
terrific wife,
nice house.
792
00:39:05,727 --> 00:39:07,854
Massapequa, isn't it?
793
00:39:07,807 --> 00:39:09,331
Yeah.
794
00:39:09,311 --> 00:39:10,903
You've eamed five
or six citations,
795
00:39:10,880 --> 00:39:12,211
you have a great record.
796
00:39:12,192 --> 00:39:15,423
Don't let misguided loyalty
ruin your life.
797
00:39:15,328 --> 00:39:18,126
You stay with Freddo,
he'll take you down.
798
00:39:19,169 --> 00:39:21,137
He's my partner.
799
00:39:21,090 --> 00:39:23,058
Stone:
Something you don't know-
800
00:39:23,010 --> 00:39:25,478
when they brought the
Richardson boy to the morgue,
801
00:39:25,410 --> 00:39:28,004
he had $3,000 on him.
802
00:39:29,699 --> 00:39:32,167
The transaction
never took place.
803
00:39:32,100 --> 00:39:34,967
He never bought
Silky's gun.
804
00:39:37,732 --> 00:39:40,030
You weren't even there.
805
00:39:46,406 --> 00:39:49,341
After the incident was
called into Internal Affairs,
806
00:39:49,254 --> 00:39:51,518
what did Patrolman Parisi
tell you?
807
00:39:53,832 --> 00:39:56,062
He said if there was
ever a line-up,
808
00:39:56,008 --> 00:39:59,034
he didn't want me to identify
the guy with the birthmark.
809
00:39:58,953 --> 00:40:00,614
Stone:
Did he tell you why?
810
00:40:00,585 --> 00:40:03,110
Davis: He said I
didn't have to worry.
811
00:40:03,049 --> 00:40:05,540
If they picked him up,
812
00:40:05,482 --> 00:40:07,507
he would say
he wasn't there.
813
00:40:07,466 --> 00:40:10,697
Did Patrolman Parisi
tell you why he was so certain
814
00:40:10,603 --> 00:40:12,070
you didn't have to worry?
815
00:40:15,468 --> 00:40:17,163
He said...
816
00:40:18,957 --> 00:40:20,686
he let him
take the crack,
817
00:40:20,653 --> 00:40:23,144
the stuff
he was going to sell.
818
00:40:27,054 --> 00:40:29,750
were you at all concerned
that Patrolman Parisi
819
00:40:29,679 --> 00:40:31,408
might be wrong?
820
00:40:31,375 --> 00:40:33,809
That the suspect
in question
821
00:40:33,743 --> 00:40:35,973
might admit
to being there that night?
822
00:40:35,920 --> 00:40:38,150
No.
823
00:40:38,096 --> 00:40:40,462
Freddo-
824
00:40:40,400 --> 00:40:42,425
Patrolman Parisi...
825
00:40:43,633 --> 00:40:45,328
said it was
a sure thing.
826
00:40:46,578 --> 00:40:48,546
The guy didn't dare
open his mouth.
827
00:40:48,498 --> 00:40:49,988
Stone:
No more questions.
828
00:40:49,971 --> 00:40:51,996
No questions
of this witness.
829
00:40:51,955 --> 00:40:53,684
Bailiff:
You may step down.
830
00:40:54,611 --> 00:40:57,409
Prosecution calls
Dorian "Silky" Ford.
831
00:41:06,102 --> 00:41:08,832
Judge: Mr. Stone, is this
going to take some time?
832
00:41:08,758 --> 00:41:10,521
Yes, Your Honor.
833
00:41:12,183 --> 00:41:14,811
Judge: In view of how
late in the day it is,
834
00:41:14,744 --> 00:41:17,144
let's continue tomorrow.
Any objections?
835
00:41:17,080 --> 00:41:19,173
Court is adjourned.
836
00:41:28,282 --> 00:41:31,581
well, I can't say I'm not glad
the way it turned out.
837
00:41:31,483 --> 00:41:33,474
I don't understand cops.
838
00:41:33,435 --> 00:41:35,767
There is such a thing
as an honorable mistake.
839
00:41:35,708 --> 00:41:37,437
Okay, he shot the kid.
840
00:41:37,403 --> 00:41:39,234
Did he have to plant
a gun on him?
841
00:41:39,196 --> 00:41:42,495
If he'd just admitted it, and
said, "I was scared, I panicked,
842
00:41:42,397 --> 00:41:43,989
I was wrong,"
843
00:41:43,966 --> 00:41:46,628
no jury in the world
would convict him of murder.
844
00:41:46,557 --> 00:41:48,218
Robinette:
If nothing else,
845
00:41:48,190 --> 00:41:50,750
Freddo will never have
a gun in his hand again,
846
00:41:50,687 --> 00:41:53,019
and that's better
for everybody.
847
00:41:59,585 --> 00:42:01,177
Schiff.
848
00:42:04,193 --> 00:42:06,093
Thanks for calling.
849
00:42:10,210 --> 00:42:12,838
well, won't have
to worry about a verdict.
850
00:42:14,051 --> 00:42:16,019
Freddo just ate his gun.
851
00:42:20,709 --> 00:42:23,200
Thayer:.
Now is the time
852
00:42:24,485 --> 00:42:27,386
to remember the real
Tommy Richardson...
853
00:42:28,230 --> 00:42:31,563
and what he meant
to this community.
854
00:42:32,871 --> 00:42:35,135
He was a symbol
855
00:42:36,391 --> 00:42:40,293
of what every child
born into poverty
856
00:42:40,168 --> 00:42:42,329
could achieve.
857
00:42:43,273 --> 00:42:47,039
He gave back
to his people-
858
00:42:48,234 --> 00:42:50,634
his time,
859
00:42:50,570 --> 00:42:51,935
his energy...
860
00:42:53,227 --> 00:42:55,092
his love.
861
00:42:56,747 --> 00:42:59,580
And he tried to help
862
00:42:59,500 --> 00:43:01,263
even more.
863
00:43:01,228 --> 00:43:03,822
He tried to help others
864
00:43:03,757 --> 00:43:06,089
by giving money.
865
00:43:06,957 --> 00:43:09,448
But to get that money
866
00:43:10,926 --> 00:43:13,622
he sold drugs.
867
00:43:13,551 --> 00:43:15,746
And he was shot
to death,
868
00:43:15,695 --> 00:43:17,526
in the gutter,
869
00:43:17,487 --> 00:43:19,352
because of it.
870
00:43:20,560 --> 00:43:23,552
what T ommy Richardson
wanted to do
871
00:43:23,473 --> 00:43:25,771
for his people
was right...
872
00:43:27,217 --> 00:43:30,550
but he did it
the wrong way.
873
00:43:31,442 --> 00:43:34,843
And the policeman
who shot him-
874
00:43:34,739 --> 00:43:37,537
that was wrong, too.
875
00:43:38,899 --> 00:43:40,662
But it would not
have happened...
876
00:43:42,580 --> 00:43:45,310
without drugs!
877
00:43:52,054 --> 00:43:54,022
wandering the halls?
878
00:43:56,087 --> 00:44:00,148
I wanted
to say thank you.
879
00:44:01,208 --> 00:44:03,301
I know this was
a tough one.
880
00:44:05,209 --> 00:44:07,439
It's the last one.
No more cops.
881
00:44:07,385 --> 00:44:08,818
It's too hard.
882
00:44:10,842 --> 00:44:13,003
Knowwhy I wouldn't
let go?
883
00:44:14,042 --> 00:44:16,977
Because there,
but for the grace of God, go I,
884
00:44:16,891 --> 00:44:18,324
or any cop.
885
00:44:19,900 --> 00:44:21,333
You get caught...
886
00:44:22,364 --> 00:44:24,457
you get prosecuted.
887
00:44:24,413 --> 00:44:27,314
Didn't know you were
a philosopher, Max.
888
00:44:28,381 --> 00:44:30,849
Just an ex-altar boy
with a gun.
889
00:44:30,899 --> 00:44:35,449
