- 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.

- It's a great opportunity,
but these kids are like family.

I believe in loyalty.

I wish I didn't,
I swear to God.

Life would be easier.

But this is my life.

You don't get many
opportunities like this.

- [whistles]
- Hey, I gotta go.

Yeah.

Thanks for listening.

[low suspenseful music]

♪

- Two shots to the chest.

Guy over there said he heard
gunshots and called 911.

Didn't see the shooter, though.

Wallet and phone
weren't found on his person.

But it's Nick Walsh.

- The coach?

- That's him.

Big fan.

Not easy to go back-to-back
in college basketball.

- Kentucky just offered
this guy

100 mil for five years.

- One more data point
that life ain't fair.

Perp snatched his watch.

- Snatched a lot more
than that.

[tense music]

[dramatic music]

♪

- All right.
Thanks for your help.

- So the question is,
what was a big-time

college coach
doing down here anyway?

- Can someone tell me
how in 2024

there's not a single camera
on one of these buildings?

[phone ringing]

Riley.

Yeah, I'll be there in five.

Hey, man,
I got a personal thing.

I'll be back.

- I really appreciate
the call, Ray.

- Of course.
I wish I knew beforehand.

- Yeah, me too,
but here we are.

[sighs]
Unbelievable.

- [chuckles]
Vinny, how you doing, man?

Hey, they set me up.
- Mm.

- What do you call that, entrapment?

- Oh, you're a lawyer now, huh?
- Come on, man.

I didn't have a choice,
all right?

I need the money.
- Oh, you didn't have a choice.

You didn't have a choice
but to sell guns.

Is that what
you're saying to me?

- All right, I hear you.
All right, I messed up.

You're right.

Thanks for coming down.
I appreciate it.

Good to see you too.

- My partner and I
have been working

that neighborhood
for a few weeks,

putting out word
we were looking for guns.

- Yeah, and then what?
- Matt texted me.

Said he had two heaters
he was trying to move.

So we met up earlier today.

I gave him two grand.
He gave me two guns.

And we busted him.

- The guy can't get out
of his own way.

[sighs]

But he's my brother,
and I love him, so...

- I get it, Vince,

but we're talking
about guns here.

Hard to make a case
like this disappear.

- I understand.

Listen, Matt runs
with a colorful crowd-

hustlers, some real criminals.

Maybe he can work it off
as an informant.

- Let me run it up
the flagpole.

- I owe you one, Ray.

- Selling guns.
That is no joke.

What was he thinking?
- Man, I-[sighs]

I don't even know
where to begin.

- You don't have to.
It's not your job.

You're not
your brother's keeper.

- Yeah, sometimes
I'm not so sure about that.

But he's a good guy-

sometimes.
- A good guy who sells guns.

- 95% of the time
he's all right, you know?

Like when our dad got sick,
he stepped up.

He took care of him,
no questions asked.

Wasn't looking for a medal.
He just did it.

It's the other 5% with Matt.

And he just has a way
of finding trouble, man.

He just digs himself
into hole after hole,

and I am always the one
that has to dig him out.

Mrs. Walsh, I know
how difficult this is,

and I am very sorry
for your loss.

You mentioned that you had
just spoken to your husband.

Do you know what time that was?

- Around 4:00.

- Do you know where he was?

Who he might have been with?

- No.

We were talking about
whether to stay or go.

Kentucky made
a really generous offer,

more than double
what we're making now, but-

but Nick really loved Hudson

and his coaches
and his players.

He's just so damn principled.

It was making everything
really hard.

- Ma'am, did your husband wear
a watch on his left wrist?

Can you describe it?

- It's a Rolex with a platinum
and gold band and a blue face.

- Any inscriptions on it?

- No.

Why?

- The watch was missing,
so we're just

collecting information
at this point.

- Was anyone harassing
or threatening your husband?

- Not that I'm aware of.
[sniffles]

But the past few weeks
have been crazy.

It felt like the whole city was
threatening and harassing us.

People would walk up
to us in a restaurant.

You can't leave us, Coach.

My whole world revolves
around Hudson basketball.

Actually, I saw him
arguing with someone

outside of our building.

[suspenseful music]

- When was this?
- Two days ago.

- So the wife was home
most of the day.

By all appearances,
they had a great relationship.

They met in college,
got married at 24.

- American dream.
- Something like that.

- Yo!

Hey, I found a video of Walsh
arguing with somebody.

Check this out.

- Can you zoom in
on the other guy?

- That's the best I can do.

- Wait. Freeze it there.

- Mm-hmm.
- It's a badge.

- And it's not NYPD.

- Walsh was arguing
with an FBI agent.

♪

- I met with Walsh
three days ago.

- Looked more like
an argument to me.

- Yeah, he ran hot.

Lots of emotion.

- Was this conversation
personal or professional?

- Professional.

Some rich alumnus threatened
to destroy his life.

- Why?

Because he was thinking
about leaving Hudson?

- Crazy, right?

But these boosters take
this stuff very seriously.

And according to Walsh,
this guy had the resources

and the conviction
to pull it off.

He got nervous.

Called an agent down in
Atlanta-his cousin, I think.

She asked if I could help out.

- Why was Walsh so mad?

- He changed his mind.

He said he didn't wanna
get this booster in trouble.

Said he overreacted.

When I made it clear
that it wasn't that easy-

genie's out of the bottle-

he got upset.
- Hmm.

This booster got a name?

- I just wrote that
stubborn Irish prick

a check for $2 million,

and he's thinking of
walking out on me,

heading to Kentucky?
- Wait, hold on.

You wrote a check
for 2 mil for what?

- A 6'7" point guard from LA

who plays defense
like Gary Payton

and shoots like Ray Allen.

Number one recruit
in the country.

Kid's agent wanted 3 mil.

I was able to get it done
for 2 with a 500,000 kicker

if we win the championship.

- All this money to play
college basketball now.

- Yeah, no rules anymore.
It's the Wild West.

It's really fun.
- Oh, it's fun.

Like getting shot in the chest
in a vacant lot kind of fun?

- Yeah, that's-

I can't believe
he's really gone.

I've been crying like a baby
ever since I found out.

- You've been crying like
a baby since he's been gone,

and you've been threatening
to ruin his life?

- Correct.

The threat had to do
with business.

I pledged 10 million

for a new practice facility
this year.

That's on top of the 2 million
for the kid from LA

So I'm long 12 mil
just this year.

And he's gonna walk out on me?

Hell, no.
But as a person, I loved him.

- I mean, where I'm from,
you don't try to destroy

the people you love, but-
- I threatened to destroy him.

I was just negotiating.

Look, I wanted to scare him,
to keep him in Hudson.

- Where were you the day
of the murder at 4:30 p.m.?

- In a meeting here
with 20 people.

Look, I didn't kill
Coach Walsh.

- Any idea what he was doing
on the Lower East Side?

- No.

- Any of his friends
live there?

- Not that I know of.

One of his players does, though.

Well, former player, actually.

Coach cut him from the team
three days ago.

- The kid get upset about that?

- I'm not sure.
His father was, though.

He went crazy.

I can't say I blame him, either.

Cost the kid a million bucks.

- You think the father
is capable of violence?

- For a million dollars?

Anyone is.

[tense music]

♪

- We hung out
for about an hour.

- Was that typical?

Was there any reason
Coach was there?

- I guess he felt bad
and wanted to make it right.

If you ask me,
that son of a bitch

needed to make it right.
- Yeah, I get it.

Cost Malik a lot of money.
You too, huh?

- $1 million.

And he just-he didn't care.

Told Malik to go home.

He had no right to do that.

- You feel the same way
about that?

- I mean, I was-

I was upset, but-

- What?
- It was my fault.

I wasn't as focused
as I should have been.

I was late to practice a lot.

I was focusing on things
other than basketball,

you know, getting endorsements,
doing TikToks, rapping.

So I get it.

- What time did Coach
leave the house?

- Around 4:00.

- And that's the last time
you guys saw him.

- Yes, sir.

- Did Walsh say anything
about where he was going

or if he was meeting anybody?

- Coach came in
around 4:15 or so.

He was here
for about 20 minutes.

- You happen to see
who he was talking to?

- I'm pretty sure
he was alone-

most of the time, anyway.

But I gotta be honest.

I wasn't really
paying attention.

- Was he alone when he left?

- Uh, sorry. I didn't notice.

- How about was anybody
bothering or harassing him?

- Nah.

People here
mind their own business.

- Do you mind if we take a look
at your surveillance video?

- Don't have any.

- Nothing?

- Like I said, people here tend
to mind their own business.

- All right. Thank you.

- Learn anything new?

- Yeah, that, apparently,
college basketball is

now professional basketball.

These kids are literally
making millions of dollars.

- Yeah. NIL changed everything.

I grew up going to
St. John's games with my dad.

- Well, we're getting
closer at least.

Looks like the last place
Walsh was seen

was at Clancy's,
the bar a few blocks

down the street from the
vacant lot where he was shot.

- We're actually closer
than you think we are.

Just found video of Walsh
from the hardware store

across the street
from Clancy's.

And there he is,
leaving the bar at 4:34 p.m.,

and he's with another guy.

- Music to my ears.

- Clean angle too.
How about that?

- Run it through facial rec.

[suspenseful music]

- No need.

It's my brother.

♪

- I don't get it.

What's everybody
so worked up about?

- Well, you see, Matty, we're
kind of investigating a murder.

- You might have been
the last person seen

with the dead guy
prior to him being dead.

So you and Walsh
left the bar together.

Why is that?

- Guys, I hope you know
I had nothing to do

with Walsh's death.
You know that, right?

- Will you just answer
the question

for once in your life, please?

- I was having a beer
at Clancy's.

I saw the guy
heading for the door.

I figured I'd walk over
and say hi.

You know, we played against
each other in high school.

I had 17 points.

- Fantastic.

- Yeah, he remembered me.
No lie.

Said I had one of the prettiest

left-handed jump shots
he'd ever seen.

- That's great, Matt, but we're
a little more interested

in the murder than your
jump shot right now, okay?

- What'd you guys do
when you left the bar?

- Walked for a few blocks
down by the bridge.

I asked if he was gonna take
that Kentucky job.

He didn't really answer me.

Said he was thinking about it,
but that he loved Hudson.

- Okay, then what?
- And then nothing.

He got a phone call,
and he walked away.

That was it.

- Was anybody watching him
or waiting for him?

- No, not really.

I mean, other than Jackie.

- You gonna tell us
who Jackie is?

- Jackie Costa.
He owns Clancy's.

- And what was
Jackie Costa doing?

- Standing on a box
smoking a cigarette.

- Okay, so you and Walsh
part ways,

and Costa is just standing
there smoking a cigarette.

That's it?

- Does anybody have a lighter?

- Like I said before, I was
here all afternoon working.

- Step outside for a few?

Maybe take a walk?
- No.

- Maybe take
a little smoke break?

- I gave it up.

I heard a rumor
it was bad for your health.

- [chuckles]
- Yeah, I heard that one too.

- Why are you guys asking
all these questions?

I already told you
what I saw, what I know.

- Yeah, yeah.

Well, we talked to someone
who said that they saw Walsh

walking down Sixth Street,
and they thought

that they maybe saw you too.

So, you know,
we're just following up.

- He's wrong.

I was inside the bar
all afternoon.

- Got it.

- Thanks for your time.
- Mm-hmm.

- He's lying his ass off,
about the smoking anyway.

Had a pack of cigarettes
in his jacket pocket.

So Costa's alibi checks out.

Talked to the dishwasher,
the bartender,

two guys who claimed to be
at the bar from 3:00 to 6:00,

and everybody says that Costa
was at the bar the entire time,

and they said he quit smoking,

and they were adamant
about that.

- Yeah, those guys
would say he played shortstop

for the Yankees
if he asked them to.

- Mm-hmm.
- Costa is no joke.

I pulled his sheet.

He's got priors for
racketeering, gambling,

assault, and narcotics.

- Oh, busy boy, huh?
- Yeah.

And as suspected, he's a liar.

I found video of him
two blocks from the crime scene

three minutes after
the 911 call at 4:43.

So Costa was not
inside the bar all day,

no matter what his friends say.
- I like him for it.

- Yeah, we just gotta find
a way to put him

and Walsh together
prior to the murder.

- Mm-hmm.
- Can you pull more video?

- It's pretty thin down there.
Not a lot of cameras.

- All right, well, just-
I don't know-

keep pressing the friends.
I mean, you never know.

- We can try, but that
code of silence thing is real.

These guys are not gonna budge.

It's how they define
themselves, you know?

- Maybe we come at this
from a different angle.

Maybe we try to get Costa
to talk instead.

[tense music]

- So what's going on?

- This morning,
I'm making an omelet.

You know, avocado, sausage,
peppers, all that.

Doorbell rings,
and I'm thinking it's Amazon,

or maybe it's the lady
next door with the dementia,

or it's-
- For God's sake, Matty.

- Yeah, sorry.
I get a little rattled.

I go to the door,
and it's two cops, detectives.

They start asking about Walsh.

- What's that got to do
with me?

- They think you're involved.

- Excuse me?

- They, uh, kept asking
questions about you.

- So that's why you're here?

To find out if what?
If I was involved?

- He's getting suspicious.
- No, he's okay.

Matty can handle this.

- Jackie, please.

I'm just trying
to help you out.

I mean, I figured it was best
if I came

and just told you
what happened, you know?

- What kind of questions?
- You know, if I-

if I saw you leave
the bar together,

if I saw you and Walsh talking,
if you guys had any bad blood.

- I appreciate you
giving me the heads up.

- Yeah, yeah, like I said,
I'm just here to help.

- Hey, look,
I know you're a good guy,

but I gotta be honest.

You're making me nervous.

- He's good. He's still good.

- So, what, you wanna search me
for a wire?

- It would make me feel better.

♪

- I'm insulted,
but, hey, I get it.

These are stressful times, right?

Go ahead.

♪

- Okay. Sorry about that.

- You good?
[chuckles]

- I appreciate you looking out.

The truth is, I might need
some help with this

down the road if
these guys keep sniffing.

- Of course. I'm happy to help.

- Good.

So these cops
happen to tell you

if they had any evidence,
video,

witnesses, anything like that?

- No, they, uh,
they didn't say.

- The funny thing is,
I didn't know Walsh.

This former player of his,
this kid Crawford,

he owed me 75 grand.

- Now we're cooking.
Now we're cooking.

- Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
What happened?

What happened?
What happened to the feed?

- Hey, no, no.
- What did you do?

- I don't know what happened.
- I got this.

Where's the camera?
- I don't know.

- Where's the button?
- I don't know.

Maybe it fell off.

- Do not lie to us, Matt.
Do you understand?

Do not lie.
Just tell us what happened.

- What happened was-

What happened was
I realized I'm not a snitch.

All right, look,
I'm not ratting out

a friend of mine,
a friend who's been good to me,

who's lent me money,
who's helped me find jobs,

unlike some people, by the way.
- Oh, here we go.

- I'm just telling
the truth here, Vince.

- You can't even help yourself,
can you?

- You know what?
I did what I had to do.

- You know, I put
my name on the line.

- Oh, yeah?
- Get out of my face.

- Hey, hey, hey, hey.
Watch yourself.

Because I'm not your brother.
You feel me?

You look me in the eye
right now.

You tell me, did Costa
admit to the murder?

Yes or no?

- You know what?

We're done talking.

♪

- What does that mean,
his wire malfunctioned?

- I mean,
Matty got nervous, so-

- Why?

Because he thought
Costa made him?

- I guess so.

Look, we still got
some good information.

Costa said that one of
Walsh's former players

owed him a bunch of money.

So we know that
there's a connection.

So maybe Walsh was there
to smooth things over,

you know, ask for leniency
for the kid or something.

- Okay, that's good.

I'm still trying to understand

what happened
with your brother's wire.

- Like I said-
- I know what you said.

But now I wanna know
what happened.

[tense music]

- The button fell off,
and Matt stepped on it.

- To protect himself?

- That's what he said.

- And do you believe him?

- No.

- Okay, well, next time,
lead with the truth,

and then
we'll get along better.

- Got some good news.

Tracked down
the former player, Crawford.

Got a work address. Let's go.

- Yeah, that's-that's true.

I owe Costa 75 grand.

More than that, actually,

because the interest
he's charging.

- Why do you owe him the money?

- I like to gamble.

- You know why Walsh was
going to meet him that day?

Did it have something
to do with your debt?

- All right, I needed money,
so I reached out to Coach,

and God bless him.

He said he'd take care of it,
under one condition,

that I get help
for my addiction.

Why?

Y'all don't think Costa
was involved?

- We don't know yet.
We're still investigating.

- So tell me,
did Coach actually say

that he was gonna meet
with Costa?

- I told him
where Costa worked,

and Coach said
he'd take care of it.

Now, that's all I know.
- He say when?

- No, he just said
that he'd handle it.

- Uh-huh.

- Look, this is on me, man.

I should have never
gotten him involved.

You know, I was
just a role player,

scoring 3 points a game,
but he-

- Look, thanks for being
straight with us, all right?

- The dots are all starting
to connect,

and they all lead
back to Costa.

- Yeah, we're still not there
yet because of your brother.

Had he not killed the wire,
we'd be done by now.

Costa would be in Rikers
staring down murder two.

Tell me I'm wrong.
- Yeah, man. I get it.

But that's just Matty,
all right?

It's just the way he is.
- What?

Do you even hear yourself
right now?

That's not an excuse.

What, you have some biological
urge to cover for his dumb ass?

- Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Take it easy.

He's still my brother.

- And what does that mean,
Vince?

You gotta protect him
until the day he dies?

- What do you want me to do?

I'm supposed to sell him out?

- Let's just-

okay, you're right
about one thing.

Crawford's statement
is helpful.

It links Costa and Walsh,
sort of.

It's good enough for a warrant.

[tense music]

♪

NYPD! Do not move!

- Warrant.
- What the hell?

- Keep him there.

♪

- Crowbar.

[tapping]

Uh-huh.

Looky here.
Rolex with a blue face.

- Turn around and put
your hands behind your back.

- What are you talking about?

- We found a unique
and expensive timepiece

in your desk.
- What the hell does that mean?

- It means you're under arrest.

- We have
the former player's testimony,

the watch,
and surveillance footage

of Costa two blocks
from the crime scene

a few minutes
after the 911 call.

- What about the murder weapon?
- Police never recovered it.

- Motive?
- I'm not sure.

At the moment, we're assuming
it's something to do

with the former player's debt.

Sounds like Walsh
was meeting up

with Costa to pay it off.

- Why kill someone
who's giving you money?

It doesn't make sense.
- I know.

We'll keep digging.

[phone buzzing]

Jalen.

- Look, I found
the gun in the trash.

I didn't shoot nobody, I swear.

I saw some dude toss it.

- You saw someone throw
the gun into the dumpster?

- Yeah, a white dude.

- Can you describe him,
age, height, body type?

- Nah.

- So you've just
been walking around

with that gun for three days?

- Yeah, but I never shot it.

I just thought
it'd be cool, you know?

- No, I don't know.

Because it's not cool
to walk around with a gun.

You hear what I said?

- Yeah, I heard you.

- You remember where you found
the gun, exact location?

- This is Costa,

approximately 100 yards
from the dumpster

where the young man
found the gun.

- How close to the crime scene?
- Three blocks.

And the timestamp on the video
is helpful as well,

five minutes
after the 911 call.

- And we're sure
that's the murder weapon?

- Ballistics report
just came in.

- Okay, good.

So we can tie Costa
to the murder weapon.

- Sort of.

It's not ideal,
but it is helpful.

- But still no motive.

- No, but the evidence
is strong.

It should be enough
to compensate for that.

- Okay, let's move forward.

Charge him with murder two.

- We can tie the defendant,
Jack Costa,

to both the murder weapon
and the crime scene.

We can also tie him
to the victim, Nick Walsh,

and prove he had access to him
on the day of the murder.

No, we don't have
an eyewitness who saw him

shoot Nick Walsh
or video showing him

fleeing the crime, gun in hand,
but the evidence we do have

paints a compelling picture
of what happened that day,

and it will prove
beyond a reasonable doubt

that the defendant
murdered Nick Walsh.

- Let me translate
what Mr. Price just said.

We have a lousy case,

and we aren't really sure that
Jack Costa committed the crime.

Nick Walsh was an
animated and fiery coach

with lots of notoriety
and lots of enemies.

He was a hometown hero
who helped lead Hudson

to unprecedented success,

but he was on the verge
of leaving,

chasing bigger, better,
shinier dreams at a new school.

He was in the middle
of negotiating a contract

that would be worth
over $100 million.

The fans were upset.

They thought he was disloyal.

They accused him of using
Hudson as a stepping stone.

Like it or not,
there were thousands

of irrational
and disgruntled fans

who thought Nick Walsh
was a traitor,

and any one of them could have
pulled that trigger,

including the teenage boy

who just so happens
to find the murder weapon

and who just so happens
to be a die-hard

Hudson U Basketball fan.

Bottom line,
there's no motive here.

Jack Costa is
a hardworking businessman

who never met Nick Walsh,
so he had absolutely

no reason to kill him.

- Did your husband own a watch?

- Yes.
- Can you describe it?

- It was a Rolex, blue face,
white markers,

and a platinum-and-gold band.

- Does this watch look like
the one your husband owned?

- Yes, definitely.

That's it.

- Let the record reflect
the watch Mrs. Walsh

just identified
was the watch recovered

from the defendant's office.

- So noted.
- Nothing further.

- Your husband's watch
wasn't registered, correct?

So there's no way of proving
that that's the same watch.

- I'm not sure.

One of Nick's former players
gave it to him the day

after he signed a new contract.

- That may be true,
but you don't know

that that's the same watch.

- No, that's the watch.

Nick wore it every day.

He said it reminded him
what his job really was,

to help kids achieve
their dreams.

- The crime lab
tested the watch

that the police found
in my client's bar

for your husband's DNA.

The test came back negative.

- I didn't know.

- One more thing
you probably didn't know,

the watch you just looked at,
the Submariner,

it's a very popular watch.

There's literally thousands
of them in existence,

the same brand, model,
face, color.

The manufacturer released
1,200 of them just this year.

So there's no way
of determining

that the watch
you just looked at

actually belonged
to your husband.

[tense music]

- I-I suppose you're right.

- I know, Sam, we're looking,
but I'm telling you,

there's nothing else
to move on.

- I get it.

Problem is, the defense
is picking us apart,

so we need something else,
something new,

preferably something
that explains

why Costa actually
killed Walsh.

- Look, we have zero evidence
that points to motive.

And trust me, Costa's friends,
they're not cooperating.

These guys eat, drink,
and sleep this omertà nonsense.

- Someone in that crowd has
to have a shred of humanity

and realize that when a person
kills an innocent man,

he has to pay.

- I'm not so sure about that.

- Sorry, Vin.

All the beer in my fridge
actually has alcohol in it.

- Maybe it shouldn't.

- Come on, don't start with all
that "bad genes" crap again.

- Listen, Matt, you need
to tell me what you know,

all right?
What you really know.

And you need to tell me
right now.

- Mm-hmm, yeah. I already did.

- Did he confess?

Did he say that he shot Walsh?

- I don't wanna get involved,
all right?

It's not my job.
- God, what-[stammers]

What is wrong with you, huh?

Walsh had a wife.
He had two little girls.

And you don't care
that your friend

put two bullets in his chest?

- Of course, I care.

- Matt, if you know something,
this is the only way

to get rid of the gun charge.
- Oh, please.

There's gotta be 100 ways
to make the gun charge go away.

- There's not. There's one.

And this is it.

- I can't do it.
I'm not that kind of guy.

- You're not that kind of guy?

The kind of guy that
thinks that murderers

should actually go to prison?

- You're my brother,

but we're different.

I look out for my friends,
no matter what.

- Are you listening
to yourself right now, huh?

You actually believe this crap?

Let me tell you something.

This is not some Scorsese movie

where you and your friends
kick it around the neighborhood

spouting off all this tough guy
talk with no consequences.

This is real.

And you need to look out
for yourself right now.

You understand me?

Not some punk named Costa
who doesn't care about you.

This is the moment, Matt.

This is your moment,

and this is your last chance.

♪

- Costa said that Walsh
was a good guy, you know,

and that he cared
about his players,

and so he thought
he had him over a barrel.

- Meaning what?

- Thought he could jam him up.

You know, ask for more money
than the kid owed.

- Uh-huh.
Can you be more specific?

- Kid owed, like,
75 grand, I think.

Costa was gonna ask for-
I don't know-150.

- [chuckles]

What else did he tell you?

- That when he asked Walsh,
he got upset, you know?

Real upset.

[pensive music]

Things got out of hand.

- Did Costa confess
to shooting him?

- Like I said, Walsh got angry,
threatened to kick his ass.

Costa did what he had to do.

- Those your words or his?

- His.

- Yeah.

When we're in court,
answer the questions

like you did just now.

You're doing
the right thing, Matt.

♪

Did you and the defendant
ever discuss the circumstances

of Nick Walsh's murder?

- Yeah.

- Did he tell you
why he was meeting

Mr. Walsh that afternoon?

- Yeah, he said, uh-

said Walsh was gonna pay off
the debt

of one of his former players.

- He say anything else?

- No, not really.

- Did he mention
any other reason for meeting

Mr. Walsh that day?

Was he planning
to discuss or demand

anything else from Mr. Walsh?

[tense music]

Mr. Riley,
did the defendant tell you

what he planned to ask
Mr. Walsh

when they met up in person?

- No.

- Never-never told you
what they planned to discuss?

- No.

- Did the defendant ever
tell you who shot Mr. Walsh?

- No.

- I'd like to request
a brief recess.

- What's going on?

You said you were willing
to testify.

- I guess I changed my mind.

- Are you serious?

- Guess so.

♪

- What the hell
is the matter with you?

This is a murder trial, Matt.

You understand that?
You're under oath.

- Yeah, I know.

I thought I could do it, Vin,
but, uh...

[chuckles]
I can't do it.

- You know that this
is your last-

- Your Honor,
the witness's answers

are inconsistent with
his previous statements.

As such, I'd like to treat him
as a hostile witness.

- Yes. I'll allow it.

- Mr. Riley, you presented
a sworn affidavit

to me stating
that the defendant

planned to exploit
Mr. Walsh's compassion

for his former player.

- Objection. Hearsay.

- Your Honor,
it was a sworn statement.

I'm offering it for
impeachment purposes only.

- Okay, but that's
as far as it goes.

Overruled.

- The defendant's plan
was to ask Mr. Walsh

for double the amount
Jordan Crawford

actually owed, correct?

- I don't know
anything about that.

- And because of this,
the two men fought.

- Objection.

This is being offered as
the truth, not impeachment.

- Sustained.

Mr. Price,
for impeachment purposes only.

I won't ask again.

- Your refusal to
cooperate here today,

to not answer my questions
in a truthful manner

is based on your desire
to help the defendant?

- I'm just telling you
what I know.

- You think it's a cowardly act
to testify against a friend,

regardless of his guilt
or innocence.

Isn't that true?

That snitching
is a crime unto itself,

that ratting someone out
is an unforgivable betrayal.

- I don't know
what your point is.

- My point is that you agreed
to tell the truth,

but you didn't do it.

You couldn't do it,
because in your mind,

it's better to let
a killer go free

than testify against a friend.

Am I right?
Is that how you think?

Better to be a stand-up guy
and keep your mouth shut.

- Yeah.
You're damn right it is.

- Even if the consequence
of that silence

is to let a killer walk free?

That doesn't bother you?

- Not in the least.

♪

- Nothing further.

- Ms. Gallo?

- No questions.

In the matter of People

Just happy for
