Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:10,348 --> 00:00:11,912
- In the criminal
justice system,
2
00:00:11,937 --> 00:00:13,272
the people are represented
3
00:00:13,297 --> 00:00:15,812
by two separate, yet
equally important groups:
4
00:00:15,854 --> 00:00:17,772
the police, who
investigate crime,
5
00:00:17,814 --> 00:00:20,734
and the district attorneys,
who prosecute the offenders.
6
00:00:20,775 --> 00:00:22,736
These are their stories.
7
00:00:24,195 --> 00:00:26,406
- I don't anticipate
we'll get any pushback.
8
00:00:26,448 --> 00:00:27,607
No.
9
00:00:27,632 --> 00:00:30,660
But just in case, I want to be
prepped for Friday's meeting
10
00:00:30,702 --> 00:00:32,871
with a list of
all the necessa...
11
00:00:32,912 --> 00:00:34,873
What the hell?
12
00:00:34,914 --> 00:00:37,417
Are you kidding me?
13
00:00:37,459 --> 00:00:40,754
No, I'm pretty sure I just
stepped in a pile of vomit.
14
00:00:40,795 --> 00:00:43,131
It's all over my
brand-new Ferragamos.
15
00:00:43,173 --> 00:00:44,632
Listen, I gotta call you back.
16
00:00:46,259 --> 00:00:48,470
Did you do this?
17
00:00:48,511 --> 00:00:51,598
Hey, Jose, I'm talking to you.
18
00:00:51,623 --> 00:00:52,693
Is this you?
19
00:00:52,734 --> 00:00:54,486
Did you make this mess?
20
00:00:54,511 --> 00:00:56,889
Yeah, it was you,
wasn't it, huh?
21
00:00:56,914 --> 00:00:58,123
You know what?
22
00:00:58,148 --> 00:01:01,109
You people are ruining the city.
23
00:01:01,134 --> 00:01:03,136
Oh, no. Look at
all your garbage.
24
00:01:03,161 --> 00:01:05,496
- Whoa. Hey, hey, hey, hey!
- Clean it up.
25
00:01:06,738 --> 00:01:07,906
- It's you?
26
00:01:07,947 --> 00:01:10,742
Tranquilo what? You
want some of this too?
27
00:01:10,784 --> 00:01:12,178
- I just want you
to leave him alone.
28
00:01:12,202 --> 00:01:13,356
I don't want any trouble.
- Yeah?
29
00:01:13,381 --> 00:01:15,508
Well, you are trouble, pal.
30
00:01:15,533 --> 00:01:17,035
What?
31
00:01:17,207 --> 00:01:19,626
What? Hey.
32
00:01:21,878 --> 00:01:23,088
Hey, get off me.
33
00:01:23,129 --> 00:01:24,422
That hurts, you dirty...
34
00:01:24,464 --> 00:01:25,983
- You mess with anyone
around here again,
35
00:01:26,007 --> 00:01:27,676
I'll make you really hurt.
36
00:01:27,717 --> 00:01:28,927
You understand?
37
00:01:28,968 --> 00:01:30,220
- Yeah.
38
00:01:33,306 --> 00:01:34,307
- What are we looking at?
39
00:01:34,349 --> 00:01:35,350
- DOA's male.
40
00:01:35,392 --> 00:01:36,768
Looks to be in his 20s.
41
00:01:36,810 --> 00:01:38,370
Male was out walking
his dog before bed,
42
00:01:38,395 --> 00:01:39,938
saw the body lying on the bench.
43
00:01:39,979 --> 00:01:42,148
Thought the guy was sleeping
until he saw the blood.
44
00:01:42,190 --> 00:01:43,692
- Shot three times in the back.
45
00:01:43,733 --> 00:01:45,860
Blood streaks on the
pavement over there.
46
00:01:45,902 --> 00:01:48,029
- Shot over there, killer
drags them over here,
47
00:01:48,071 --> 00:01:49,280
lays them on the bench.
48
00:01:49,322 --> 00:01:51,866
Buys some time before
anyone notices the body.
49
00:01:51,908 --> 00:01:53,868
- Time of death?
- It wasn't that long ago.
50
00:01:53,910 --> 00:01:55,787
I'd say less than two hours.
51
00:01:55,829 --> 00:01:57,205
- So around midnight?
52
00:01:57,247 --> 00:01:59,082
- Around then, this
place is deserted.
53
00:01:59,124 --> 00:02:00,166
There's no cameras.
54
00:02:00,208 --> 00:02:01,167
What about a wallet and ID?
55
00:02:01,209 --> 00:02:02,961
- No. No phone, either.
56
00:02:03,002 --> 00:02:04,796
- Maybe a mugging?
57
00:02:04,838 --> 00:02:07,966
- I don't know if our vic
had anything worth stealing.
58
00:02:08,008 --> 00:02:10,427
Bleecker Mission Shelter.
59
00:02:10,468 --> 00:02:11,570
Looks like our vic was homeless.
60
00:02:11,594 --> 00:02:12,863
- Well, if he had
a place to stay,
61
00:02:12,887 --> 00:02:14,097
what's he doing out here?
62
00:02:14,139 --> 00:02:16,016
- I don't know.
63
00:02:16,057 --> 00:02:18,309
That's the Venezuelan flag.
64
00:02:18,351 --> 00:02:19,829
What do you want to
bet he's from there?
65
00:02:23,648 --> 00:02:26,943
- Give me your tired, your poor,
66
00:02:26,985 --> 00:02:28,862
yearning to breathe free.
67
00:03:18,953 --> 00:03:21,039
That's Luis.
68
00:03:21,081 --> 00:03:23,291
He's been staying with us
for about four months now.
69
00:03:23,333 --> 00:03:24,435
I knew something
was wrong when he
70
00:03:24,459 --> 00:03:25,752
didn't make curfew last night.
71
00:03:25,794 --> 00:03:27,629
We have a strict
11:00 p.m. cut off.
72
00:03:27,670 --> 00:03:29,297
Luis had never missed it before.
73
00:03:29,339 --> 00:03:31,132
- What's his last name?
- Morales.
74
00:03:31,174 --> 00:03:33,027
- You know what could have
kept him out past curfew?
75
00:03:33,051 --> 00:03:35,303
- No, but I can take
you to his locker.
76
00:03:35,345 --> 00:03:37,722
- What can you tell
us about Mr. Morales?
77
00:03:37,764 --> 00:03:39,408
- He was one of the
greatest kids I ever met...
78
00:03:39,432 --> 00:03:40,701
The kind of person
who'd give you
79
00:03:40,725 --> 00:03:42,036
the shirt off his
back even though
80
00:03:42,060 --> 00:03:44,312
you don't need it and he does.
81
00:03:46,815 --> 00:03:47,565
- That's fine.
82
00:03:47,607 --> 00:03:48,858
That's fine. I got it.
83
00:03:51,820 --> 00:03:53,321
- Which one of
these bunks is his?
84
00:03:53,363 --> 00:03:55,240
- Right there.
85
00:03:55,281 --> 00:03:56,741
- Parents?
- Both dead.
86
00:03:56,783 --> 00:03:58,868
They were killed by
police in Venezuela
87
00:03:58,910 --> 00:04:00,137
at a protest against
the country's
88
00:04:00,161 --> 00:04:01,621
political corruption.
89
00:04:01,663 --> 00:04:03,540
- The situation is
really bad down there.
90
00:04:03,581 --> 00:04:05,750
- Luis's parents told him
that America was different,
91
00:04:05,792 --> 00:04:07,752
the land of opportunity.
He believed it too.
92
00:04:07,794 --> 00:04:08,962
- You don't?
93
00:04:09,003 --> 00:04:10,606
- Work here for a week
and then talk to me.
94
00:04:10,630 --> 00:04:12,692
It took Luis months to make
his way up through Mexico.
95
00:04:12,716 --> 00:04:14,926
Then he finally crosses
the border in Texas only
96
00:04:14,968 --> 00:04:16,845
to be packed onto a
Greyhound and shipped
97
00:04:16,886 --> 00:04:19,389
3,000 miles away by a governor
looking to make headlines.
98
00:04:19,431 --> 00:04:21,099
- He was on one of
the migrant buses?
99
00:04:21,141 --> 00:04:22,350
- Disgusting.
100
00:04:22,392 --> 00:04:24,227
Politicians using
human beings as props.
101
00:04:24,269 --> 00:04:26,771
- I think he would have been
better off here than Texas.
102
00:04:26,813 --> 00:04:28,273
- Not so much.
103
00:04:28,314 --> 00:04:30,126
I mean, Luis was on the first
bus to arrive in the city.
104
00:04:30,150 --> 00:04:32,193
The mayor's there, greets
them, shakes their hands.
105
00:04:32,235 --> 00:04:33,462
Says they'll all
be taken care of.
106
00:04:33,486 --> 00:04:34,863
- But then no follow through?
107
00:04:34,904 --> 00:04:36,322
Not even a little.
108
00:04:36,364 --> 00:04:38,491
Mayor got his photo op, but
then the buses kept coming
109
00:04:38,533 --> 00:04:40,660
and the city never
came up with a plan.
110
00:04:40,702 --> 00:04:44,456
- You know of anyone who
might want to hurt Luis?
111
00:04:44,497 --> 00:04:46,875
- There was a
situation yesterday.
112
00:04:46,916 --> 00:04:49,794
Luis got into a fight
with a man just outside.
113
00:04:51,296 --> 00:04:53,506
- From the shelter
security cameras.
114
00:04:56,009 --> 00:04:57,302
- Whoa.
115
00:04:57,344 --> 00:04:59,304
Morales could have
been a contender.
116
00:04:59,346 --> 00:05:01,615
Do we know who the guy is who's
getting his ass handed to him?
117
00:05:01,639 --> 00:05:03,475
- Facial rec got a hit.
118
00:05:03,516 --> 00:05:06,644
Gavin Stulner, 28,
works in I-banking.
119
00:05:06,686 --> 00:05:08,438
He's got priors for
drunk and disorderly
120
00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:09,647
and assaulting an officer.
121
00:05:09,689 --> 00:05:11,524
- Oh, a real stand-up guy.
122
00:05:11,566 --> 00:05:14,194
- Ass whooping like that,
that had to bruise his ego.
123
00:05:14,235 --> 00:05:16,946
- Maybe he settled the
score later that night.
124
00:05:19,949 --> 00:05:21,868
- That kid was a punk.
- Really?
125
00:05:21,910 --> 00:05:24,662
Because everyone we spoke
with said just the opposite.
126
00:05:24,704 --> 00:05:26,182
- No, I'm telling you,
my apartment's right
127
00:05:26,206 --> 00:05:27,224
next door to that shelter.
128
00:05:27,248 --> 00:05:28,541
The whole place is a mess.
129
00:05:28,583 --> 00:05:30,293
And that dude is the
worst of the bunch.
130
00:05:30,335 --> 00:05:31,395
I'm not the only
one in my building
131
00:05:31,419 --> 00:05:32,837
who's had an issue
with him, either.
132
00:05:32,879 --> 00:05:34,547
- What was he doing
that was so horrible?
133
00:05:34,589 --> 00:05:36,007
What do you think?
134
00:05:36,049 --> 00:05:38,677
Harassing people,
loitering, stealing stuff.
135
00:05:38,718 --> 00:05:40,804
That's what they all do.
136
00:05:40,845 --> 00:05:43,515
- They?
- Yeah. The homeless.
137
00:05:43,556 --> 00:05:44,891
What?
138
00:05:44,933 --> 00:05:46,369
I know it's unpopular
to say, but they make
139
00:05:46,393 --> 00:05:47,769
the neighborhood less safe.
140
00:05:47,811 --> 00:05:49,413
Half of them are illegal
immigrants who shouldn't even
141
00:05:49,437 --> 00:05:50,897
be here in the first place,
142
00:05:50,939 --> 00:05:52,708
and the other half are
freeloaders or drug addicts.
143
00:05:52,732 --> 00:05:54,025
- You sound a little angry.
144
00:05:54,067 --> 00:05:55,193
- No.
145
00:05:55,235 --> 00:05:56,236
I'm very angry.
146
00:05:56,277 --> 00:05:57,696
What?
147
00:05:57,737 --> 00:06:00,532
I pay 10K a month in rent to
live in a luxury high rise,
148
00:06:00,573 --> 00:06:02,343
only to end up next to a
bunch of people who treat
149
00:06:02,367 --> 00:06:03,743
the sidewalk as their toilet.
150
00:06:03,785 --> 00:06:06,454
- Very angry people make
very stupid choices.
151
00:06:06,496 --> 00:06:10,125
- Yeah, especially angry people
who get their asses kicked.
152
00:06:10,166 --> 00:06:12,419
We caught that video
of your altercation.
153
00:06:12,460 --> 00:06:14,170
- Big deal. He jumped me.
154
00:06:14,212 --> 00:06:15,588
- That's not what we saw.
155
00:06:15,630 --> 00:06:18,049
- That doesn't
mean I killed him.
156
00:06:18,091 --> 00:06:20,135
I trade muni bonds, I
don't murder people.
157
00:06:20,176 --> 00:06:22,387
- What were you doing
last night at midnight?
158
00:06:22,429 --> 00:06:24,014
- I was at a bar in Dumbo.
159
00:06:24,055 --> 00:06:26,433
Took a bunch of the firm's
new recruits out for drinks.
160
00:06:26,474 --> 00:06:28,059
We didn't leave
till after 2:00 a.m.
161
00:06:28,101 --> 00:06:29,853
A place called the
Vault. You can check it.
162
00:06:29,894 --> 00:06:31,187
- We will.
163
00:06:31,229 --> 00:06:33,189
You said that other
people in your building
164
00:06:33,231 --> 00:06:34,691
had a problem with Morales.
165
00:06:34,733 --> 00:06:35,942
- That's right.
166
00:06:35,984 --> 00:06:39,654
- Care to elaborate?
Got a name?
167
00:06:39,696 --> 00:06:41,531
- Yeah, I know
him. Name's Luis.
168
00:06:41,573 --> 00:06:44,034
- Are you two friends?
- No, not exactly.
169
00:06:44,075 --> 00:06:45,845
He did a job for me. It
didn't work out so well.
170
00:06:45,869 --> 00:06:47,245
- Yeah, we heard about that.
171
00:06:47,287 --> 00:06:48,413
We talked to somebody,
172
00:06:48,455 --> 00:06:49,724
he said you pulled a
gun on him yesterday?
173
00:06:49,748 --> 00:06:51,958
- I did. But it was
in self-defense.
174
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:53,418
- How's that?
175
00:06:53,460 --> 00:06:55,754
- I hired him to patch a
hole in my dining room wall.
176
00:06:55,795 --> 00:06:57,922
I went into the other
room to take a work Zoom,
177
00:06:57,964 --> 00:07:00,467
and when I came back
out to grab the phone,
178
00:07:00,508 --> 00:07:01,569
I caught him trying to steal it.
179
00:07:01,593 --> 00:07:02,927
- What was he doing?
180
00:07:02,969 --> 00:07:04,113
Hiding it in a bag or something?
181
00:07:04,137 --> 00:07:05,388
- He was holding it.
182
00:07:05,430 --> 00:07:07,307
Said he was just borrowing
it to make a call,
183
00:07:07,349 --> 00:07:08,767
but I'm not stupid.
184
00:07:08,808 --> 00:07:10,244
I grabbed it from him
and told him to get out,
185
00:07:10,268 --> 00:07:12,228
but he refused.
- He refused to leave?
186
00:07:12,270 --> 00:07:14,481
- He wanted me to pay
him for the dry wall job.
187
00:07:14,522 --> 00:07:16,649
- Had he finished the job?
188
00:07:16,691 --> 00:07:19,569
- Yeah, but I wasn't gonna
give money to a thief.
189
00:07:19,611 --> 00:07:21,863
He wouldn't budge, so
I went and got my gun.
190
00:07:21,905 --> 00:07:23,674
My dad gave it to me
during COVID to make sure
191
00:07:23,698 --> 00:07:24,884
I'd be safe, and
that did the trick.
192
00:07:24,908 --> 00:07:26,785
He got right the hell out.
193
00:07:26,826 --> 00:07:28,012
- And you didn't see him again?
194
00:07:28,036 --> 00:07:29,412
- No.
195
00:07:29,454 --> 00:07:32,248
I have every right to defend
myself in my own home.
196
00:07:34,667 --> 00:07:36,920
- Lou, little update here.
197
00:07:36,961 --> 00:07:39,255
So Luis Morales was
killed by a 9-millimeter.
198
00:07:39,297 --> 00:07:41,966
Samantha Morris's
firearm's a SIG Sauer .45.
199
00:07:42,008 --> 00:07:43,843
Not our murder weapon.
- So we got nothing?
200
00:07:43,885 --> 00:07:46,054
- However, we checked
Morris's phone records,
201
00:07:46,096 --> 00:07:47,615
and it looks like
Morales did, in fact,
202
00:07:47,639 --> 00:07:49,474
use her cell to make a call.
203
00:07:49,516 --> 00:07:50,642
- That's odd.
204
00:07:50,684 --> 00:07:52,811
- No, not really.
He's... he's homeless.
205
00:07:52,852 --> 00:07:54,479
- He saw it on the table.
206
00:07:54,521 --> 00:07:56,731
It was still unlocked, he
picked it up and made a call.
207
00:07:56,773 --> 00:07:58,024
- Do we know who he called?
208
00:07:58,066 --> 00:08:01,569
- Number's registered
to a Michael Higueres.
209
00:08:01,611 --> 00:08:03,029
Call lasted a minute 45.
210
00:08:03,071 --> 00:08:04,781
- We know anything about him?
211
00:08:04,823 --> 00:08:07,784
- He's a journalist living
in Battery Park City.
212
00:08:09,285 --> 00:08:11,579
- That's one block
from the crime scene.
213
00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:17,752
- Mr. Higueres, I'm Detective
Cosgrove, Detective Shaw.
214
00:08:17,794 --> 00:08:20,588
We'd like to ask you
about Luis Morales.
215
00:08:20,630 --> 00:08:22,382
You know him, right?
- Yes.
216
00:08:22,424 --> 00:08:23,925
I interviewed him
a few months ago
217
00:08:23,967 --> 00:08:26,469
for an article I was writing
about the migrant buses.
218
00:08:26,511 --> 00:08:27,846
He was helpful.
219
00:08:27,887 --> 00:08:29,865
Gave real depth into the
plight of these immigrants.
220
00:08:29,889 --> 00:08:32,225
I mean, they came here
hoping for a better life.
221
00:08:32,267 --> 00:08:34,352
- Can I ask you, did you
keep in touch with him?
222
00:08:34,394 --> 00:08:36,521
- Yeah, I was supposed to
meet up with him last night,
223
00:08:36,563 --> 00:08:37,981
actually, but he never showed.
224
00:08:38,023 --> 00:08:39,649
- That's because he's dead.
225
00:08:41,484 --> 00:08:44,362
Yeah, someone shot him.
226
00:08:44,404 --> 00:08:46,698
- I can't believe he...
227
00:08:46,740 --> 00:08:48,408
He must have been
telling the truth.
228
00:08:48,450 --> 00:08:49,701
He really did see something.
229
00:08:49,743 --> 00:08:51,536
- What are you talking about?
230
00:08:51,578 --> 00:08:53,621
- Luis said he had
a story for me.
231
00:08:53,663 --> 00:08:56,207
Said he knew something
about a murder.
232
00:09:05,216 --> 00:09:06,216
- Hey, what do we got?
233
00:09:07,177 --> 00:09:09,304
- According to Michael
Higueres, Morales called him
234
00:09:09,346 --> 00:09:11,723
the day he was killed, wanted
to talk about a murder.
235
00:09:11,765 --> 00:09:14,184
He said he saw something
crazy the day before.
236
00:09:14,225 --> 00:09:16,227
- Did he say what
this crazy thing was
237
00:09:16,269 --> 00:09:18,688
or any other
pertinent information?
238
00:09:18,730 --> 00:09:20,106
- No, he was in a hurry.
239
00:09:20,148 --> 00:09:22,567
Just said it had something
to do with a murder.
240
00:09:22,609 --> 00:09:25,111
He told Higueres they
need to meet up in person
241
00:09:25,153 --> 00:09:26,446
so they can discuss
it in detail.
242
00:09:26,488 --> 00:09:28,323
- So if he knows about a murder,
243
00:09:28,365 --> 00:09:29,949
why doesn't he just
call the police?
244
00:09:29,991 --> 00:09:32,136
- He might have been scared
about his immigration status.
245
00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:34,329
- And trusted a
journalist more than cops.
246
00:09:34,371 --> 00:09:36,456
- Okay, so the guy
sees something crazy.
247
00:09:36,498 --> 00:09:39,376
He reaches out to his
trusted journalist friend,
248
00:09:39,417 --> 00:09:41,795
and he gets shot
before he's actually
249
00:09:41,836 --> 00:09:43,129
able to hook up with him.
250
00:09:43,171 --> 00:09:45,090
- According to Higueres,
Morales was a no show.
251
00:09:45,131 --> 00:09:46,776
- Looks like he's telling
the truth about that.
252
00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:48,736
We found street cam footage
that shows Higueres waiting
253
00:09:48,760 --> 00:09:50,929
on a bench on the
other side of the park
254
00:09:50,970 --> 00:09:52,472
during the time of the murder.
255
00:09:52,514 --> 00:09:56,559
- Okay, so we know that this
crazy thing that Morales saw
256
00:09:56,601 --> 00:09:58,353
happened the day
before he was murdered.
257
00:09:58,395 --> 00:10:00,897
So we need to retrace
his steps that day
258
00:10:00,939 --> 00:10:04,693
and figure out where he was
and what he might have seen.
259
00:10:07,529 --> 00:10:09,864
- That would have been
what? Three days ago?
260
00:10:09,906 --> 00:10:11,366
I don't remember
anything unusual.
261
00:10:11,408 --> 00:10:13,618
Luis woke up early, like
always, had breakfast,
262
00:10:13,660 --> 00:10:14,804
and then headed out for the day.
263
00:10:14,828 --> 00:10:15,870
- Where was he going?
264
00:10:15,912 --> 00:10:17,414
- To try and find work.
265
00:10:17,455 --> 00:10:19,058
He was determined to
afford his own apartment
266
00:10:19,082 --> 00:10:20,375
so that he could
get out of here.
267
00:10:20,417 --> 00:10:22,127
But, you know,
being undocumented,
268
00:10:22,168 --> 00:10:23,854
the only work he could
find was under the table.
269
00:10:23,878 --> 00:10:25,523
- So you have no idea where
he might have been looking?
270
00:10:25,547 --> 00:10:27,298
- He picked up odd jobs
and day labor shifts
271
00:10:27,340 --> 00:10:29,384
all over the city.
272
00:10:29,426 --> 00:10:31,511
But now that I think
about it, I did notice
273
00:10:31,553 --> 00:10:33,138
he left that morning
with Obie White,
274
00:10:33,179 --> 00:10:34,597
another one of our residents.
275
00:10:34,639 --> 00:10:36,683
- Is that unusual?
- Not necessarily.
276
00:10:36,725 --> 00:10:40,812
It's just that Obie struggles
with heroin addiction.
277
00:10:40,854 --> 00:10:42,230
- Is he here right now?
278
00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:47,569
- Looks like he hasn't been
back here since that day.
279
00:10:49,946 --> 00:10:51,531
Obie's a good guy.
280
00:10:51,573 --> 00:10:52,883
No way he'd ever be involved
in something like this.
281
00:10:52,907 --> 00:10:54,200
- I'm sure he is.
282
00:10:54,242 --> 00:10:55,428
But all the same,
do you know where he
283
00:10:55,452 --> 00:10:58,038
hangs out when he's not here?
284
00:11:00,165 --> 00:11:02,083
- Where there's drugs,
there's murders.
285
00:11:02,125 --> 00:11:03,334
The cost of doing business.
286
00:11:03,376 --> 00:11:04,753
- Yeah, generally.
287
00:11:04,794 --> 00:11:06,063
But I don't think that's
the case this time.
288
00:11:06,087 --> 00:11:07,881
This kid Morales seemed clean.
289
00:11:07,922 --> 00:11:09,966
I mean, everybody keeps
saying he was a great guy.
290
00:11:10,008 --> 00:11:11,968
- Doesn't mean he
wasn't dealing.
291
00:11:12,010 --> 00:11:14,929
- Frank, these guys are dealt
a really bad hand, all right?
292
00:11:14,971 --> 00:11:17,140
This kid comes over here
looking for a new life,
293
00:11:17,182 --> 00:11:19,726
doesn't pick up any good cards
when he crosses the border.
294
00:11:19,768 --> 00:11:22,604
He's punted like a political
football from Texas to here.
295
00:11:22,645 --> 00:11:24,915
He got no family in the States
so he can't get naturalized,
296
00:11:24,939 --> 00:11:26,542
which means he can't get
a good job, which means
297
00:11:26,566 --> 00:11:28,318
he can't make a living wage.
298
00:11:32,113 --> 00:11:33,907
- That's our guy.
299
00:11:40,455 --> 00:11:42,207
5-0!
300
00:11:42,248 --> 00:11:43,833
- NYPD, stop!
301
00:12:03,144 --> 00:12:04,604
Freeze! Police!
302
00:12:35,927 --> 00:12:37,554
Police! Stop!
303
00:12:40,348 --> 00:12:42,308
- Oh, that had to hurt.
304
00:12:42,350 --> 00:12:44,144
All right, come on. Get up.
305
00:12:44,185 --> 00:12:47,939
Let's go.
306
00:12:47,981 --> 00:12:49,524
I didn't have any drugs on me.
307
00:12:49,566 --> 00:12:50,734
- Of course you don't.
308
00:12:50,775 --> 00:12:52,086
But we don't care
about that, Obie.
309
00:12:52,110 --> 00:12:54,279
- We're the murder
cops, Homicide.
310
00:12:54,320 --> 00:12:56,197
Want to talk to you
about Luis Morales.
311
00:12:56,239 --> 00:12:57,240
- Homicide?
312
00:12:57,282 --> 00:12:59,200
But... Luis is dead?
313
00:12:59,242 --> 00:13:02,495
- Oh, you hadn't heard?
Someone shot him.
314
00:13:02,537 --> 00:13:03,621
- I tried to warn him.
315
00:13:03,663 --> 00:13:05,165
- Tried to warn him about what?
316
00:13:05,206 --> 00:13:06,458
- Ugh.
317
00:13:08,543 --> 00:13:11,337
- Look, we're not trying
to hem you up, bro.
318
00:13:11,379 --> 00:13:12,839
We don't want the paperwork,
319
00:13:12,881 --> 00:13:14,799
and you don't want to
go to jail, am I right?
320
00:13:14,841 --> 00:13:16,426
Okay, so just shoot us straight,
321
00:13:16,468 --> 00:13:18,154
and we'll look the other way
on the possession charge.
322
00:13:18,178 --> 00:13:19,363
But you gotta tell us everything
323
00:13:19,387 --> 00:13:22,140
that you know right now.
324
00:13:22,182 --> 00:13:23,683
Talk!
325
00:13:23,725 --> 00:13:26,269
- The last time I saw
Luis was a few days ago.
326
00:13:26,311 --> 00:13:27,812
He was going out to find work,
327
00:13:27,854 --> 00:13:30,106
and he wanted to
bring me with him.
328
00:13:30,148 --> 00:13:32,442
He was trying to keep me
busy, help me stay sober.
329
00:13:32,484 --> 00:13:34,778
- What were you trying
to warn him about?
330
00:13:34,819 --> 00:13:36,339
- We went to look
for work down at this
331
00:13:36,363 --> 00:13:37,989
big construction site downtown.
332
00:13:38,031 --> 00:13:40,176
I mean, they're building one
of those giant skyscrapers.
333
00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:41,659
- Okay. Okay, keep going.
334
00:13:41,701 --> 00:13:43,286
- We had worked there before,
335
00:13:43,328 --> 00:13:44,829
a lot of guys at
the shelter too.
336
00:13:44,871 --> 00:13:46,474
The foreman down there,
he likes hiring guys
337
00:13:46,498 --> 00:13:48,208
on the fringe, you know?
338
00:13:48,249 --> 00:13:50,377
Illegals, deadbeats.
339
00:13:50,418 --> 00:13:51,753
They pay us in cash.
340
00:13:51,795 --> 00:13:53,088
No union rules.
341
00:13:53,129 --> 00:13:54,923
- No union wages.
342
00:13:54,964 --> 00:13:56,383
- Exactly.
343
00:13:56,424 --> 00:13:58,468
Pennies on the dollar
for the same damn work.
344
00:13:58,510 --> 00:14:02,681
- So you go over to the
construction site and?
345
00:14:04,432 --> 00:14:06,476
- We saw something we
shouldn't have seen.
346
00:14:27,372 --> 00:14:29,124
- You're the foreman,
Randall Tully?
347
00:14:29,165 --> 00:14:30,959
- Yeah. Can I help you?
348
00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:32,585
- NYPD.
349
00:14:32,627 --> 00:14:34,427
We need you to shut down
all work immediately.
350
00:14:34,462 --> 00:14:35,922
- On what authority?
351
00:14:35,964 --> 00:14:37,724
- The Supreme Court of
the State of New York.
352
00:14:47,267 --> 00:14:49,811
- Detectives, I found something.
353
00:14:54,524 --> 00:14:55,859
That's a skull.
354
00:14:55,900 --> 00:14:58,278
There's the torso.
Those are the legs.
355
00:14:58,319 --> 00:14:59,612
- All still attached?
356
00:14:59,654 --> 00:15:01,573
- Yes. Body looks
fully intact.
357
00:15:01,614 --> 00:15:02,574
So does the other one.
358
00:15:02,615 --> 00:15:04,409
- Other one?
- Yes.
359
00:15:04,451 --> 00:15:06,327
There are two bodies. See?
360
00:15:06,369 --> 00:15:07,537
Right here.
361
00:15:18,882 --> 00:15:20,202
- Our techs were
working all night
362
00:15:21,176 --> 00:15:23,553
excavating those two bodies
we found in the foundation.
363
00:15:23,595 --> 00:15:25,597
They're getting an
autopsy right now.
364
00:15:25,638 --> 00:15:27,238
So why don't you just
do yourself a favor
365
00:15:27,265 --> 00:15:29,017
and tell us who they are?
366
00:15:29,059 --> 00:15:31,102
- I... I... I don't know
anything about that.
367
00:15:31,144 --> 00:15:34,731
- Randall, we got a
witness who saw you
368
00:15:34,773 --> 00:15:36,316
pour the concrete
over the bodies.
369
00:15:36,358 --> 00:15:40,028
Showed up at the site that
morning with Luis Morales.
370
00:15:40,070 --> 00:15:42,489
The witness saw what he saw,
freaked out, and took off.
371
00:15:42,530 --> 00:15:44,032
But Luis stayed, didn't he?
372
00:15:44,074 --> 00:15:47,077
He stayed and he
confronted you, didn't he?
373
00:15:47,118 --> 00:15:49,579
- That why you killed him?
374
00:15:49,621 --> 00:15:52,040
- I'm sorry, I... I don't
know who you're talking about.
375
00:15:54,042 --> 00:15:56,294
- You don't know Luis?
376
00:15:56,336 --> 00:15:58,797
You gonna stick with that story?
377
00:15:58,838 --> 00:16:00,678
Because we found some
really interesting things
378
00:16:00,715 --> 00:16:02,008
in his apartment.
379
00:16:02,050 --> 00:16:04,135
Oh, you didn't
know that, did you?
380
00:16:04,177 --> 00:16:08,515
Yeah, he got out of the
shelter, got his own place.
381
00:16:08,556 --> 00:16:10,975
You know what we found there?
382
00:16:11,017 --> 00:16:12,310
His journal.
383
00:16:12,352 --> 00:16:14,062
It's a treasure
trove.
384
00:16:14,104 --> 00:16:15,605
You know what he was
putting in there?
385
00:16:15,647 --> 00:16:17,691
He was writing down all
the stuff he was doing,
386
00:16:17,732 --> 00:16:20,068
the people he was meeting,
how he was working
387
00:16:20,110 --> 00:16:22,904
for the number-one
developer in New York City.
388
00:16:25,198 --> 00:16:28,326
- Randall, he had a phone
he took pictures with,
389
00:16:28,368 --> 00:16:30,995
probably to send back to
his family in Venezuela.
390
00:16:31,037 --> 00:16:32,914
He let them know that
he was doing good,
391
00:16:32,956 --> 00:16:36,918
he got a good job, working for
a good company, good people.
392
00:16:38,586 --> 00:16:40,022
We have the photos.
You want to see them?
393
00:16:40,046 --> 00:16:41,214
- No, I remember the guy.
394
00:16:41,256 --> 00:16:43,425
- Oh, so now you remember him?
395
00:16:43,466 --> 00:16:44,676
- Well, I don't pour concrete.
396
00:16:44,718 --> 00:16:46,052
You know, I'm the foreman.
397
00:16:48,346 --> 00:16:50,390
- You're terrible
at this, Randall.
398
00:16:50,432 --> 00:16:52,809
- What? This?
- Lying.
399
00:16:52,851 --> 00:16:55,770
So do yourself a favor.
400
00:16:55,812 --> 00:16:57,897
Just come clean with
everything, please.
401
00:16:57,939 --> 00:17:00,525
Come on.
402
00:17:02,861 --> 00:17:06,781
- Look, I didn't kill
anybody, I swear to God.
403
00:17:06,823 --> 00:17:08,700
They were already dead
when I found them.
404
00:17:08,742 --> 00:17:11,036
I hired two migrants
for day labor.
405
00:17:11,077 --> 00:17:12,680
They must have snuck
back onto the site when
406
00:17:12,704 --> 00:17:14,706
everyone left for the
night. I don't know.
407
00:17:14,748 --> 00:17:17,125
They were probably looking
for a place to sleep.
408
00:17:17,167 --> 00:17:19,919
- How did they die?
409
00:17:19,961 --> 00:17:21,939
- They took an elevator
that was only supposed to be
410
00:17:21,963 --> 00:17:27,344
for building material
and small equipment.
411
00:17:27,385 --> 00:17:29,429
It's 100-pound weight limit.
412
00:17:29,471 --> 00:17:30,805
It's 120 max.
413
00:17:30,847 --> 00:17:33,600
There's a sign on
the damn thing too.
414
00:17:33,641 --> 00:17:35,101
Maybe they couldn't
read English.
415
00:17:35,143 --> 00:17:38,355
- You're saying this whole
thing was an accident?
416
00:17:38,396 --> 00:17:40,482
- When I gotta the site,
417
00:17:40,523 --> 00:17:42,609
the elevator was
smashed like a...
418
00:17:42,650 --> 00:17:45,570
Like a pancake, and
they were on the ground
419
00:17:45,612 --> 00:17:48,031
in the middle of the mess, dead.
420
00:17:48,073 --> 00:17:51,034
- And you didn't think to call
the police or report that?
421
00:17:51,076 --> 00:17:52,744
You thought a better
idea would be,
422
00:17:52,786 --> 00:17:54,788
let's bury them in cement?
423
00:17:54,829 --> 00:17:57,665
- No, no, of course, I
wanted to do the right thing,
424
00:17:57,707 --> 00:17:59,959
but there's been a lot
of accidents lately,
425
00:18:00,001 --> 00:18:01,979
and the city comptroller said
he was gonna shut us down
426
00:18:02,003 --> 00:18:03,630
if there was any more injuries.
427
00:18:03,672 --> 00:18:07,801
So I... I just called
Mr. Wise, my boss.
428
00:18:07,842 --> 00:18:09,427
- Wait. Hold on, hold on.
429
00:18:15,308 --> 00:18:16,267
Eric Wise?
430
00:18:16,309 --> 00:18:17,727
- Yeah.
431
00:18:19,562 --> 00:18:20,897
Do... do you know him?
432
00:18:20,939 --> 00:18:22,440
- No.
433
00:18:22,482 --> 00:18:25,026
I just see his name on
buildings like everybody else.
434
00:18:25,068 --> 00:18:26,837
- Well, if you knew him,
then you know how he'd feel
435
00:18:26,861 --> 00:18:29,531
about a $300 million
project being shut down.
436
00:18:30,907 --> 00:18:34,077
He told me to make
the problems go away.
437
00:18:34,119 --> 00:18:35,912
- So you did.
438
00:18:35,954 --> 00:18:37,831
- Yeah.
439
00:18:37,872 --> 00:18:40,625
I'm not proud of
it, but, you know.
440
00:18:40,667 --> 00:18:41,876
- Yeah.
441
00:18:41,918 --> 00:18:43,712
So let's talk
about Luis Morales.
442
00:18:43,753 --> 00:18:45,547
How did he end up
dead? You shoot him?
443
00:18:45,588 --> 00:18:48,758
- What? No.
444
00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:50,552
That wasn't me.
445
00:18:50,593 --> 00:18:55,181
I was at my house with
my family all night.
446
00:18:55,223 --> 00:18:56,558
- Who killed him then?
447
00:18:56,599 --> 00:18:58,852
- I... I...
448
00:18:58,893 --> 00:19:00,895
I told Mr. Wise that
this Morales kid
449
00:19:00,937 --> 00:19:02,188
was asking a lot of questions,
450
00:19:02,230 --> 00:19:04,858
that he might have
seen the dead bodies.
451
00:19:04,899 --> 00:19:08,028
- And then what
did Mr. Wise say?
452
00:19:10,030 --> 00:19:13,533
- He said that he'd
take care of it.
453
00:19:28,506 --> 00:19:30,425
- Hey.
454
00:19:30,467 --> 00:19:32,135
ME said that both
bodies recovered
455
00:19:32,177 --> 00:19:34,679
at the construction
site were dead prior
456
00:19:34,721 --> 00:19:36,181
to being put in the concrete.
457
00:19:36,222 --> 00:19:38,391
And the cause of
death for both was
458
00:19:38,433 --> 00:19:40,393
this massive traumatic event...
459
00:19:40,435 --> 00:19:44,189
Nearly every bone in their body
was either broken or fractured.
460
00:19:44,230 --> 00:19:46,691
We found an incident report too.
461
00:19:46,733 --> 00:19:50,236
There was an elevator on site
that collapsed four days ago.
462
00:19:50,278 --> 00:19:51,654
No injuries reported.
463
00:19:51,696 --> 00:19:53,406
- So Tully was
telling the truth,
464
00:19:53,448 --> 00:19:55,033
at least about those two.
465
00:19:55,075 --> 00:19:56,469
- Doesn't mean he wasn't
lying about killing Morales.
466
00:19:56,493 --> 00:19:57,952
- His alibi checks out.
467
00:19:57,994 --> 00:20:00,121
He was in Queens at
the time of the murder.
468
00:20:18,056 --> 00:20:19,808
- I called, and I
told him I was coming.
469
00:20:19,849 --> 00:20:22,310
- Yes, Mr. Wise
is expecting you.
470
00:20:22,352 --> 00:20:24,437
Follow me.
471
00:20:24,479 --> 00:20:26,564
Hell of a view.
472
00:20:26,606 --> 00:20:28,066
- Sir.
473
00:20:28,108 --> 00:20:29,943
- You get to live up
high when your empire
474
00:20:29,984 --> 00:20:32,320
is built on other
people's backs.
475
00:20:35,824 --> 00:20:38,201
- Sorry to bother you.
- No. No problem at all.
476
00:20:38,243 --> 00:20:39,953
Have a seat.
477
00:20:39,994 --> 00:20:42,288
Hey, you thirsty? Want
something to drink?
478
00:20:42,330 --> 00:20:43,330
- No.
479
00:20:51,756 --> 00:20:54,759
- The police found
the two bodies.
480
00:20:54,801 --> 00:20:57,137
- Yeah, I heard.
481
00:20:57,178 --> 00:20:59,597
- But we're okay, though. I...
they... they questioned me.
482
00:20:59,639 --> 00:21:01,826
I said I didn't know anything,
and they... they bought it.
483
00:21:01,850 --> 00:21:03,476
So we're okay.
484
00:21:03,518 --> 00:21:06,771
- And my biggest project is...
Is shut down indefinitely,
485
00:21:06,813 --> 00:21:08,314
maybe permanently
because now it's
486
00:21:08,356 --> 00:21:12,402
an active crime scene, so
I don't know how okay I am.
487
00:21:12,444 --> 00:21:14,612
- They also asked me about
that Morales kid's murder,
488
00:21:14,654 --> 00:21:17,365
and I said I didn't know
anything about that, either.
489
00:21:20,827 --> 00:21:23,204
- Because you don't, right?
490
00:21:24,539 --> 00:21:27,751
- Yeah. Sure.
491
00:21:27,792 --> 00:21:29,103
But my point is, is
that I don't think
492
00:21:29,127 --> 00:21:30,378
they have anything on you.
493
00:21:30,420 --> 00:21:32,023
But just in case, you...
You should make sure
494
00:21:32,047 --> 00:21:34,174
that you cover your
tracks, and I could help.
495
00:21:34,215 --> 00:21:36,343
- See, I don't know what
you're talking about.
496
00:21:36,384 --> 00:21:38,595
I mean, if you're
somehow implying that
497
00:21:38,636 --> 00:21:42,182
I had something to do with
that day laborer's murder...
498
00:21:42,223 --> 00:21:45,435
- No, I... you... You
said that you were
499
00:21:45,477 --> 00:21:46,895
gonna take care of him.
500
00:21:48,938 --> 00:21:52,734
- Yeah, I don't remember
that conversation.
501
00:21:52,776 --> 00:21:55,070
- I hid the bodies
because you asked me to.
502
00:21:57,030 --> 00:21:59,115
So you know you can trust me.
503
00:22:01,368 --> 00:22:03,912
- I'm sorry to hear
you say that, Randall.
504
00:22:03,953 --> 00:22:05,473
- Wait, well, hold...
Hold on, hold on.
505
00:22:05,497 --> 00:22:06,831
You don't have to
play tough guy.
506
00:22:06,873 --> 00:22:08,059
- What? No one's
playing tough guy,
507
00:22:08,083 --> 00:22:09,501
but you come into my home,
508
00:22:09,542 --> 00:22:11,836
you start making
ridiculous accusations.
509
00:22:11,878 --> 00:22:13,189
- He's in trouble.
We gotta go in there.
510
00:22:13,213 --> 00:22:14,339
- Wait.
511
00:22:14,381 --> 00:22:15,775
- I just think it's
best if you leave.
512
00:22:15,799 --> 00:22:17,384
- Yeah, it's not a problem.
513
00:22:17,425 --> 00:22:20,345
- And I also think it's
best you find a new job.
514
00:22:20,387 --> 00:22:21,554
- What do you...
515
00:22:21,596 --> 00:22:23,056
- Someone's gotta
be held accountable
516
00:22:23,098 --> 00:22:25,642
for those two deaths.
517
00:22:25,684 --> 00:22:27,018
That someone is you.
518
00:22:29,020 --> 00:22:30,480
Show Randy out.
519
00:22:35,360 --> 00:22:37,237
- Can you zoom in on
the security guard?
520
00:22:37,278 --> 00:22:39,280
- Yeah.
- Small of his back.
521
00:22:40,740 --> 00:22:42,075
- Oh, he's packing.
522
00:22:42,117 --> 00:22:43,576
That looks like a 9 mil.
523
00:22:43,618 --> 00:22:45,829
- Yep.
- Mm-hmm.
524
00:22:48,957 --> 00:22:51,251
- Psst. Hey, Ian. Hey.
525
00:22:51,292 --> 00:22:52,919
No, no, no, no! Police. Police.
526
00:22:52,961 --> 00:22:55,547
Do not do that.
Do not do that.
527
00:22:55,588 --> 00:22:57,966
We have a warrant for that
weapon you're reaching for.
528
00:22:58,008 --> 00:23:00,677
Do yourself a favor,
take your hand away,
529
00:23:00,719 --> 00:23:02,595
and put it above your head.
530
00:23:02,637 --> 00:23:05,974
Do it now, or my partner will
shoot you where you stand.
531
00:23:06,016 --> 00:23:08,268
- Go ahead, sweetheart.
Give me a reason.
532
00:23:08,309 --> 00:23:09,310
- Do it.
533
00:23:11,271 --> 00:23:12,939
Do it now!
534
00:23:12,981 --> 00:23:14,107
- Above your head!
535
00:23:14,149 --> 00:23:15,483
- Interlock your fingers.
536
00:23:15,525 --> 00:23:17,193
Turn around! Turn around!
537
00:23:21,740 --> 00:23:22,842
Ian Belsky, you're under arrest.
538
00:23:22,866 --> 00:23:24,492
- What for?
539
00:23:24,534 --> 00:23:26,536
- Well, for starters,
possessing a firearm
540
00:23:26,578 --> 00:23:28,038
without a conceal permit.
541
00:23:28,079 --> 00:23:29,497
But once we've run
the ballistics,
542
00:23:29,539 --> 00:23:31,458
I'm sure we'll upgrade
that charge to murder.
543
00:23:39,424 --> 00:23:41,319
- Ballistic tests confirm
that your gun was the one
544
00:23:41,343 --> 00:23:43,011
used to kill Mr. Morales.
545
00:23:43,053 --> 00:23:45,096
Police found traces
of Morales's blood
546
00:23:45,138 --> 00:23:47,932
on clothing recovered
from your apartment.
547
00:23:47,974 --> 00:23:51,311
And we can place your
car and your cell phone
548
00:23:51,353 --> 00:23:53,104
near the park at the
time of the murder.
549
00:23:53,146 --> 00:23:55,440
- I assume you brought us
here for more than just
550
00:23:55,482 --> 00:23:56,900
a show and tell.
551
00:23:56,941 --> 00:23:58,711
- When police searched
Mr. Belsky's apartment,
552
00:23:58,735 --> 00:24:02,864
they also found a duffel bag
filled with $100,000 in cash.
553
00:24:05,742 --> 00:24:08,244
If someone paid you
to kill Luis Morales,
554
00:24:08,286 --> 00:24:10,747
we might be able to work out
some sort of an arrangement.
555
00:24:10,789 --> 00:24:12,123
- What kind of arrangement?
556
00:24:12,165 --> 00:24:15,085
- Depending on what he says,
we'd be willing to offer
557
00:24:15,126 --> 00:24:18,338
man one, recommend 20 years.
558
00:24:18,380 --> 00:24:20,715
I want ten.
559
00:24:20,757 --> 00:24:24,803
You're
looking at life.
560
00:24:24,844 --> 00:24:26,262
20 is a gift.
561
00:24:26,304 --> 00:24:28,515
- They can't use anything I
say here against me, right?
562
00:24:28,556 --> 00:24:30,100
- That's correct.
563
00:24:30,141 --> 00:24:31,661
- If I keep my mouth
shut and eat the charge,
564
00:24:31,685 --> 00:24:33,603
Eric Wise is gonna
take care of my family.
565
00:24:33,645 --> 00:24:36,564
Only thing he can't offer
me is time, you can.
566
00:24:36,606 --> 00:24:39,609
And if you won't,
I'll take his money.
567
00:24:39,651 --> 00:24:42,070
Ten years or I don't testify.
568
00:24:50,120 --> 00:24:52,414
- Without Belsky, we don't
have a case against Wise.
569
00:24:52,455 --> 00:24:54,290
- Ten years for a
cold-blooded murder?
570
00:24:54,332 --> 00:24:55,834
- I... I get it, but...
571
00:24:55,875 --> 00:24:56,751
- But what?
572
00:24:56,793 --> 00:24:58,586
- Wise ordered the murder.
573
00:24:58,628 --> 00:25:00,797
And he is a threat to society.
574
00:25:00,839 --> 00:25:04,092
He regularly uses and
abuses migrant workers
575
00:25:04,134 --> 00:25:05,760
to build his skyscrapers.
576
00:25:05,802 --> 00:25:08,513
- There have been eight deaths
on Wise City construction sites
577
00:25:08,555 --> 00:25:10,473
over the past two years alone.
578
00:25:10,515 --> 00:25:13,560
- Not counting the two
workers buried in cement?
579
00:25:13,601 --> 00:25:15,520
- And those are just
the ones we know about.
580
00:25:15,562 --> 00:25:17,689
Who knows how many
others he's covered up.
581
00:25:19,482 --> 00:25:23,611
- Unfortunately, the practice
of hiring unskilled workers
582
00:25:23,653 --> 00:25:28,199
is not uncommon nor even
illegal in many instances.
583
00:25:28,241 --> 00:25:29,909
Lots of companies do it.
584
00:25:29,951 --> 00:25:31,703
There was an article
in "The Times"
585
00:25:31,745 --> 00:25:33,663
a couple of months
ago detailing a number
586
00:25:33,705 --> 00:25:35,623
of accidental deaths
587
00:25:35,665 --> 00:25:38,710
on construction sites
all over the city.
588
00:25:38,752 --> 00:25:41,546
- But unlike those developers,
Eric Wise escalated
589
00:25:41,588 --> 00:25:43,048
to straight-up murder.
590
00:25:43,089 --> 00:25:46,634
- Yeah, which means we
can put him away for life.
591
00:25:48,094 --> 00:25:49,763
- If we give Belsky
what he wants,
592
00:25:49,804 --> 00:25:51,765
we need to be sure his
testimony is enough
593
00:25:51,806 --> 00:25:54,392
to get a conviction
against Wise.
594
00:25:54,434 --> 00:25:57,187
- I understand.
595
00:25:57,228 --> 00:25:58,938
- Okay.
596
00:25:58,980 --> 00:25:59,981
Make the deal.
597
00:26:05,320 --> 00:26:10,075
- Mr. Belsky, you admit
to murdering Luis Morales?
598
00:26:10,116 --> 00:26:11,701
- Yes.
599
00:26:11,743 --> 00:26:13,203
I shot him three times.
600
00:26:13,244 --> 00:26:16,539
- And did the defendant, Eric
Wise, pay you to kill him?
601
00:26:16,581 --> 00:26:17,665
- Yes.
602
00:26:17,707 --> 00:26:19,042
He offered me 100 grand
603
00:26:19,084 --> 00:26:21,378
but said it had to
be done that day.
604
00:26:21,419 --> 00:26:23,088
- He say why?
605
00:26:23,129 --> 00:26:24,273
- Apparently, the
kid knew something
606
00:26:24,297 --> 00:26:25,965
he wasn't supposed to.
607
00:26:26,007 --> 00:26:28,593
Wise needed him silenced
before he talked.
608
00:26:28,635 --> 00:26:30,261
- And after you
killed Mr. Morales,
609
00:26:30,303 --> 00:26:33,431
did the defendant pay you
the money he promised?
610
00:26:33,473 --> 00:26:34,724
- Yeah.
611
00:26:34,766 --> 00:26:36,768
The next day, I went
to his apartment,
612
00:26:36,810 --> 00:26:38,895
where he gave me
the money in cash.
613
00:26:38,937 --> 00:26:42,065
- Thank you. Nothing further.
614
00:26:42,107 --> 00:26:44,526
- There's no proof
of this transaction
615
00:26:44,567 --> 00:26:46,611
you claim happened, is there?
616
00:26:46,653 --> 00:26:49,989
No bank statements,
wire transfer logs?
617
00:26:50,031 --> 00:26:52,617
- Like I said, he
paid me in cash.
618
00:26:52,659 --> 00:26:54,744
- Do you know Randall Tully,
619
00:26:54,786 --> 00:26:58,915
the foreman who Luis Morales
caught pouring concrete
620
00:26:58,957 --> 00:27:01,251
over the two dead
construction workers?
621
00:27:01,292 --> 00:27:02,919
- Yeah, I know him.
622
00:27:02,961 --> 00:27:04,295
- You two close?
623
00:27:04,337 --> 00:27:06,715
- I only know him because
we both worked for Wise.
624
00:27:06,756 --> 00:27:08,800
- But Randall Tully doesn't work
625
00:27:08,842 --> 00:27:11,052
for Mr. Wise anymore, does he?
626
00:27:11,094 --> 00:27:14,139
No, my client fired
him once he learned
627
00:27:14,180 --> 00:27:16,474
of his horrific actions...
628
00:27:16,516 --> 00:27:18,435
Attempting to cover
up the accident,
629
00:27:18,476 --> 00:27:20,311
which occurred under
his supervision.
630
00:27:20,353 --> 00:27:21,646
- Objection. Relevance?
631
00:27:21,688 --> 00:27:23,523
- Where is this
going, Mr. Rems?
632
00:27:23,565 --> 00:27:26,109
- Your Honor, as
foreman, Randall Tully
633
00:27:26,151 --> 00:27:29,112
had exclusive access
to a slush fund
634
00:27:29,154 --> 00:27:32,240
to address any issues
that arose on the site.
635
00:27:32,282 --> 00:27:35,493
The defense is entering into
evidence financial records
636
00:27:35,535 --> 00:27:42,208
showing that $100,000 is
missing from this account.
637
00:27:42,250 --> 00:27:45,253
Isn't it true, Mr. Belsky,
638
00:27:45,295 --> 00:27:47,672
that it was Randall
Tully who hired you
639
00:27:47,714 --> 00:27:51,509
to kill Luis Morales to
stop him from telling
640
00:27:51,551 --> 00:27:55,055
anyone what he saw Randall do?
641
00:27:55,096 --> 00:27:56,348
- No.
642
00:27:56,389 --> 00:27:57,992
- And isn't it true that
he's agreed to pay you
643
00:27:58,016 --> 00:28:00,852
even more money to point
the finger at my client,
644
00:28:00,894 --> 00:28:03,021
the man who fired him?
645
00:28:03,063 --> 00:28:04,105
- No.
646
00:28:04,147 --> 00:28:07,067
Eric Wise is the
one who hired me.
647
00:28:07,108 --> 00:28:08,526
- Mm-hmm.
648
00:28:10,737 --> 00:28:12,739
Mr. Belsky...
649
00:28:15,033 --> 00:28:17,827
You've admitted to everyone here
650
00:28:17,869 --> 00:28:20,789
that you murdered
someone for money.
651
00:28:23,124 --> 00:28:26,211
Doesn't it stand to reason
that you'd just as easily
652
00:28:26,252 --> 00:28:28,713
lie for money too?
653
00:28:44,104 --> 00:28:46,464
- Tully swears he didn't take
the money out of that account.
654
00:28:47,107 --> 00:28:49,359
But the bank
statements clearly show
655
00:28:49,401 --> 00:28:52,153
he was the authorized user
who withdrew the 100k.
656
00:28:52,195 --> 00:28:54,406
- Is there video
of the transaction?
657
00:28:54,447 --> 00:28:55,865
- It happened over
two months ago.
658
00:28:55,907 --> 00:28:59,828
The bank doesn't keep video
logs going back that far.
659
00:28:59,869 --> 00:29:01,121
Wise is smart.
660
00:29:01,162 --> 00:29:03,832
He must have figured
out some way to withdraw
661
00:29:03,873 --> 00:29:05,625
the money using Tully's card.
662
00:29:05,667 --> 00:29:07,919
- Yeah, or he... or he
paid someone after the fact
663
00:29:07,961 --> 00:29:09,212
to doctor the records.
664
00:29:09,254 --> 00:29:10,922
Either way, they've
given the jury
665
00:29:10,964 --> 00:29:14,676
a credible narrative that
Randall Tully, not Eric Wise,
666
00:29:14,718 --> 00:29:16,052
was behind the murder.
667
00:29:16,094 --> 00:29:18,013
- We can call
Tully to the stand,
668
00:29:18,054 --> 00:29:19,472
have him refute the claim.
669
00:29:19,514 --> 00:29:21,683
- No, given that the
defense has painted him
670
00:29:21,725 --> 00:29:25,437
as a bitter ex-employee with
an axe to grind against Wise,
671
00:29:25,478 --> 00:29:27,856
and the fact the jury's
already heard about him
672
00:29:27,897 --> 00:29:30,150
burying two dead bodies
under the concrete,
673
00:29:30,191 --> 00:29:33,528
I don't think they'll find him
any more credible than Belsky.
674
00:29:33,570 --> 00:29:36,031
We're gonna have to
find something else.
675
00:29:36,072 --> 00:29:37,365
- Hmm.
676
00:29:37,407 --> 00:29:39,117
- Is that a good "hmm"?
677
00:29:39,159 --> 00:29:40,660
- Maybe.
678
00:29:40,702 --> 00:29:44,372
In Cosgrove's arrest
report, he mentions that
679
00:29:44,414 --> 00:29:46,541
Eric Wise's housekeeper
showed the detective
680
00:29:46,583 --> 00:29:50,170
into Wise's office
to make the arrest.
681
00:29:50,211 --> 00:29:52,297
She was also present
when Tully tried
682
00:29:52,339 --> 00:29:54,215
to implicate Wise on the wire.
683
00:29:54,257 --> 00:29:55,383
- What's your point?
684
00:29:55,425 --> 00:29:57,135
- Wise doesn't
think of the people
685
00:29:57,177 --> 00:29:58,720
who work for him
as human beings.
686
00:29:58,762 --> 00:30:01,348
Hell, he doesn't even
think of them at all.
687
00:30:01,389 --> 00:30:05,226
Which makes it easy to
forget that they are people
688
00:30:05,268 --> 00:30:07,145
with thoughts and feelings...
689
00:30:07,187 --> 00:30:09,397
- And ears.
690
00:30:19,407 --> 00:30:21,159
- Excuse me.
- Yes.
691
00:30:21,201 --> 00:30:23,745
- I'm with the district
attorney's office.
692
00:30:23,787 --> 00:30:25,288
- Well, what do you want?
693
00:30:25,330 --> 00:30:26,915
- I just want to ask
you a few questions
694
00:30:26,956 --> 00:30:29,209
about your boss, Eric Wise.
695
00:30:29,250 --> 00:30:30,794
- I have nothing to say.
696
00:30:38,802 --> 00:30:40,178
- We're from Beirut.
697
00:30:40,220 --> 00:30:42,347
- Oh, that's where
my parents are from.
698
00:30:42,389 --> 00:30:45,183
They moved here years
ago, before I was born.
699
00:30:45,225 --> 00:30:47,936
- And now you're a lawyer here?
700
00:30:47,977 --> 00:30:50,188
Uh-huh.
701
00:30:52,148 --> 00:30:53,775
- Samantha Maroun.
702
00:30:55,735 --> 00:30:56,820
- Soraya Hamoud.
703
00:30:58,988 --> 00:31:00,740
- And I'm Injila.
704
00:31:00,782 --> 00:31:02,325
I like your bag.
705
00:31:04,494 --> 00:31:06,287
- Injila, go upstairs.
706
00:31:06,329 --> 00:31:07,664
I'll be there soon, okay?
707
00:31:12,252 --> 00:31:15,130
- How long have you
two been in the U.S.?
708
00:31:15,171 --> 00:31:17,507
- Almost two years.
709
00:31:17,549 --> 00:31:19,092
I wanted a better life.
710
00:31:19,134 --> 00:31:20,593
- I understand.
711
00:31:23,680 --> 00:31:27,183
You know your boss, Eric
Wise, is on trial, right?
712
00:31:28,601 --> 00:31:30,437
- Yes.
713
00:31:30,478 --> 00:31:32,647
- I need to know if you
ever heard him talking
714
00:31:32,689 --> 00:31:36,359
to his bodyguard, Ian Belsky.
715
00:31:46,369 --> 00:31:47,704
It's okay.
716
00:31:52,792 --> 00:31:56,963
- Mr. Wise likes to
act like I don't exist.
717
00:32:00,425 --> 00:32:02,427
- The day after
Morales was murdered,
718
00:32:02,469 --> 00:32:05,472
Soraya heard Wise tell Ian
Belsky he did a good job
719
00:32:05,513 --> 00:32:07,724
taking care of the problem.
720
00:32:07,766 --> 00:32:10,185
He also told him not to
deposit the 100k he gave him
721
00:32:10,226 --> 00:32:12,103
to avoid a paper trail.
722
00:32:12,145 --> 00:32:13,605
- Sounds good to me.
723
00:32:13,646 --> 00:32:16,858
- But Soraya and her
daughter are here illegally.
724
00:32:16,900 --> 00:32:20,362
She had friends who applied
for H-1 visas and were denied,
725
00:32:20,403 --> 00:32:23,198
and she was scared it
would happen to her too.
726
00:32:23,239 --> 00:32:24,866
- So how did she get here?
727
00:32:24,908 --> 00:32:27,160
- She got a tourist visa,
claimed they were visiting
728
00:32:27,202 --> 00:32:30,914
a cousin and gave a fake
address on the application,
729
00:32:30,955 --> 00:32:34,334
and has been evading
ICE ever since.
730
00:32:34,376 --> 00:32:36,544
- She can still testify.
731
00:32:36,586 --> 00:32:38,880
We don't report
undocumented witnesses
732
00:32:38,922 --> 00:32:40,215
to federal authorities.
733
00:32:40,256 --> 00:32:41,925
- I told her that,
but she's scared.
734
00:32:41,966 --> 00:32:43,093
- Of course.
735
00:32:43,134 --> 00:32:44,386
But we don't have a choice.
736
00:32:44,427 --> 00:32:46,471
We need her testimony.
737
00:32:46,513 --> 00:32:48,682
- Oh, so we use her
738
00:32:48,723 --> 00:32:51,226
like Eric Wise used
undocumented workers
739
00:32:51,267 --> 00:32:53,728
to build his buildings?
740
00:32:53,770 --> 00:32:57,023
This could ruin her
life and her daughter's.
741
00:32:57,065 --> 00:33:00,276
- She attempted to
circumvent the law.
742
00:33:00,318 --> 00:33:04,823
It's not up to us to shield her
from the consequences of that.
743
00:33:04,864 --> 00:33:09,577
We'll do everything we can to
protect her, you have my word.
744
00:33:09,619 --> 00:33:12,205
But we're calling
her to the stand.
745
00:33:22,007 --> 00:33:23,647
- Your Honor, we're
having some difficulty
746
00:33:24,217 --> 00:33:25,486
locating our next
witness, Soraya Hamoud.
747
00:33:25,510 --> 00:33:27,637
The People request
a brief continuance
748
00:33:27,679 --> 00:33:29,222
while detectives track her down.
749
00:33:29,264 --> 00:33:32,142
- The prosecution is
obviously stalling here.
750
00:33:32,183 --> 00:33:35,979
If the state can't make
their case, that's on them.
751
00:33:36,021 --> 00:33:37,939
- I'll give you 24
hours, Mr. Price.
752
00:33:37,981 --> 00:33:40,108
But tomorrow morning,
the trial will resume
753
00:33:40,150 --> 00:33:41,985
with or without your witness.
754
00:33:42,027 --> 00:33:43,421
I'll see you all
then.
755
00:33:43,445 --> 00:33:44,904
We're adjourned.
756
00:33:44,946 --> 00:33:46,573
- Soraya could be anywhere.
757
00:33:46,614 --> 00:33:49,117
For all we know, she's
halfway to California by now.
758
00:33:50,910 --> 00:33:52,704
- We found her.
759
00:33:52,746 --> 00:33:54,080
- That's good news.
760
00:33:54,122 --> 00:33:56,666
- Yeah, well, I'm not
so sure about that.
761
00:33:56,708 --> 00:33:58,043
She's in ICE custody.
762
00:33:58,084 --> 00:33:59,812
Her neighbors said that
they raided her apartment
763
00:33:59,836 --> 00:34:01,588
in the middle of the night.
764
00:34:01,629 --> 00:34:03,048
They took Soraya
and her daughter.
765
00:34:07,761 --> 00:34:10,513
- Son of a bitch
tipped off the Feds.
766
00:34:12,891 --> 00:34:15,060
- Where is Soraya
being detained?
767
00:34:18,146 --> 00:34:20,565
- I'm sorry, the detainee
you're attempting to see
768
00:34:20,607 --> 00:34:21,858
isn't allowed visitors.
769
00:34:21,900 --> 00:34:23,252
If you'd called ahead,
we could have warned you.
770
00:34:23,276 --> 00:34:25,278
- I'm not here for a visitation.
771
00:34:25,320 --> 00:34:27,989
Soraya Hamoud is a
witness in a murder trial.
772
00:34:28,031 --> 00:34:29,699
We're requesting
that you release her
773
00:34:29,741 --> 00:34:32,660
and her daughter to state
custody so she can testify.
774
00:34:32,702 --> 00:34:34,120
- Not that simple.
775
00:34:34,162 --> 00:34:36,915
- There are allowances
for instances where
776
00:34:36,956 --> 00:34:39,084
a witness is necessary or...
- There are.
777
00:34:39,125 --> 00:34:40,960
But I can't just let her go.
778
00:34:41,002 --> 00:34:42,962
You need to file the
necessary paperwork.
779
00:34:43,004 --> 00:34:45,090
- By the time I do that,
she'll be back in Lebanon.
780
00:34:45,131 --> 00:34:46,508
- Sorry. Nothing I can do.
781
00:34:46,549 --> 00:34:48,301
- You may want to
rethink that statement
782
00:34:48,343 --> 00:34:50,553
if you want me to
keep my mouth shut.
783
00:34:57,519 --> 00:34:58,812
- Excuse me?
784
00:34:58,853 --> 00:35:00,689
- I have a big
mouth, Mr. Garson.
785
00:35:00,730 --> 00:35:02,023
A really big mouth.
786
00:35:02,065 --> 00:35:04,484
And I can get really loud, too,
787
00:35:04,526 --> 00:35:06,319
especially when I know
about a federal agency
788
00:35:06,361 --> 00:35:08,947
aiding and abetting a murderer.
789
00:35:11,825 --> 00:35:14,160
- They took Injila away from me.
790
00:35:14,202 --> 00:35:15,787
I... I don't know where she is.
791
00:35:15,829 --> 00:35:17,330
- She's here.
792
00:35:17,372 --> 00:35:19,457
She's being held with
other children her age,
793
00:35:19,499 --> 00:35:21,084
but she is safe.
794
00:35:21,126 --> 00:35:22,836
- I need to see her.
795
00:35:22,877 --> 00:35:23,837
I need my daughter.
796
00:35:23,878 --> 00:35:25,005
- I will talk to them.
797
00:35:25,046 --> 00:35:28,091
- We can't go back to Lebanon.
798
00:35:28,133 --> 00:35:29,509
We have nothing there.
799
00:35:29,551 --> 00:35:33,346
Her life...
- I've arranged a deal.
800
00:35:33,388 --> 00:35:35,515
If you agree to
testify against Wise,
801
00:35:35,557 --> 00:35:37,475
they'll keep you and
your daughter in custody,
802
00:35:37,517 --> 00:35:40,603
but they'll postpone
your removal hearings
803
00:35:40,645 --> 00:35:42,439
until after the trial is over.
804
00:35:43,690 --> 00:35:48,611
- So you get what you
need, but what about us?
805
00:35:48,653 --> 00:35:51,114
- Well, the delay
will buy us some time
806
00:35:51,156 --> 00:35:53,324
to figure out how
to keep you here.
807
00:35:53,366 --> 00:35:55,368
My boss is the
district attorney.
808
00:35:55,410 --> 00:35:57,370
He has some sway.
809
00:35:57,412 --> 00:36:00,665
And your assistance
in a high-profile case
810
00:36:00,707 --> 00:36:03,918
will help us argue you
should be allowed to stay.
811
00:36:05,837 --> 00:36:08,465
There's still hope.
812
00:36:08,506 --> 00:36:10,383
Trust me.
813
00:36:19,142 --> 00:36:22,228
- Ms. Hamoud, could you
please tell the court
814
00:36:22,270 --> 00:36:24,105
about the conversation
you overheard
815
00:36:24,147 --> 00:36:26,524
between the defendant
and Ian Belsky
816
00:36:26,566 --> 00:36:29,778
on the afternoon of
Thursday, November 10?
817
00:36:29,819 --> 00:36:32,280
- They were in his office.
818
00:36:32,322 --> 00:36:35,283
Mr. Wise had me bring whiskey.
819
00:36:35,325 --> 00:36:37,911
I remember thinking it
was early to be drinking,
820
00:36:37,952 --> 00:36:41,539
but they were
celebrating something.
821
00:36:41,581 --> 00:36:43,291
Mr. Wise made a toast.
822
00:36:43,333 --> 00:36:45,668
- Do you know what it was
they were celebrating?
823
00:36:45,710 --> 00:36:47,087
- I didn't at the time.
824
00:36:47,128 --> 00:36:51,132
But Mr. Wise
thanked Mr. Belsky,
825
00:36:51,174 --> 00:36:55,387
said he did a good job
taking care of his problem.
826
00:36:55,428 --> 00:36:59,599
- Did you hear him
say anything else?
827
00:36:59,641 --> 00:37:01,810
- He told him to be
careful with the money
828
00:37:01,851 --> 00:37:04,145
he had given him.
829
00:37:04,187 --> 00:37:07,565
He said that if
Mr. Belsky deposited
830
00:37:07,607 --> 00:37:13,279
$100,000 in his bank account,
it would be suspicious.
831
00:37:13,321 --> 00:37:16,241
He told him not to spend it
832
00:37:16,282 --> 00:37:18,243
on something
extravagant, either.
833
00:37:18,284 --> 00:37:20,745
- Did you notice
anything unusual
834
00:37:20,787 --> 00:37:23,790
when Mr. Belsky left the
apartment that afternoon?
835
00:37:23,832 --> 00:37:25,291
- Yes.
836
00:37:25,333 --> 00:37:29,713
He left with a piece of
luggage, a small bag.
837
00:37:29,754 --> 00:37:33,133
There is a word for it. Uh.
838
00:37:33,174 --> 00:37:35,051
- Duffel bag?
- Yes, that's it.
839
00:37:35,093 --> 00:37:38,096
He did not have it
when he arrived.
840
00:37:39,931 --> 00:37:41,808
- Thank you.
841
00:37:41,850 --> 00:37:43,018
Nothing further, Your Honor.
842
00:37:51,818 --> 00:37:56,489
- You're asking us to
believe that my client
843
00:37:56,531 --> 00:38:01,703
said all of these incredibly
incriminating things
844
00:38:01,745 --> 00:38:04,372
right in front of you?
845
00:38:04,414 --> 00:38:10,336
- Mr. Wise never really thought
about where I was or wasn't.
846
00:38:10,378 --> 00:38:13,840
Most of the time, he
forgot I was even there.
847
00:38:26,227 --> 00:38:29,105
- Ms. Hamoud,
848
00:38:29,147 --> 00:38:32,484
are you a legal resident
of the United States?
849
00:38:34,152 --> 00:38:36,780
- No, I am not.
850
00:38:36,821 --> 00:38:40,450
- So you're here illegally?
851
00:38:40,492 --> 00:38:41,993
- Yes.
852
00:38:42,035 --> 00:38:46,706
- In fact, you're currently in
federal custody, aren't you?
853
00:38:46,748 --> 00:38:48,416
- Yes.
854
00:38:48,458 --> 00:38:52,545
- Ms. Hamoud, did the
district attorney's office
855
00:38:52,587 --> 00:38:56,341
offer you a deal to stay
in this country in exchange
856
00:38:56,383 --> 00:39:00,178
for testifying
against my client?
857
00:39:00,220 --> 00:39:02,138
- They said they would help.
858
00:39:02,180 --> 00:39:03,807
- No further
questions, Your Honor.
859
00:39:03,848 --> 00:39:08,061
- But I would have testified
even if they didn't.
860
00:39:08,103 --> 00:39:09,854
- Your Honor.
861
00:39:11,523 --> 00:39:15,068
- I left where I'm from
862
00:39:15,110 --> 00:39:19,280
because powerful people abused
863
00:39:19,322 --> 00:39:23,034
and oppressed people like me.
864
00:39:23,076 --> 00:39:28,707
I came here because I believed
this country was better,
865
00:39:28,748 --> 00:39:32,794
that there was more opportunity
here for people like me.
866
00:39:35,463 --> 00:39:38,049
And I still believe that.
867
00:39:59,279 --> 00:40:02,949
- Will the defendant
please rise?
868
00:40:02,991 --> 00:40:06,953
Madam Foreperson, has the
jury reached the verdict?
869
00:40:06,995 --> 00:40:09,456
- We have, Your Honor.
870
00:40:09,497 --> 00:40:12,250
In the charge of murder
in the first degree,
871
00:40:12,292 --> 00:40:15,211
we find the defendant,
Eric Wise...
872
00:40:15,253 --> 00:40:16,796
guilty.
873
00:40:30,935 --> 00:40:32,354
- Okay, thank you so much.
874
00:40:32,395 --> 00:40:34,230
- Ms. Maroun.
875
00:40:34,272 --> 00:40:35,690
- Good news.
876
00:40:35,732 --> 00:40:37,984
I just found an amazing
immigration lawyer.
877
00:40:38,026 --> 00:40:39,861
- It's too late.
878
00:40:39,903 --> 00:40:41,154
- What do you mean?
879
00:40:41,196 --> 00:40:43,531
- Soraya's hearing
was yesterday.
880
00:40:43,573 --> 00:40:45,033
- What?
881
00:40:45,075 --> 00:40:47,827
They said they would wait
until after the trial was over.
882
00:40:47,869 --> 00:40:49,329
- They lied.
883
00:40:49,371 --> 00:40:50,705
- Well, that's disgusting.
884
00:40:50,747 --> 00:40:52,165
- It sure is.
885
00:40:52,207 --> 00:40:55,835
- Well, then... then
we file a petition,
886
00:40:55,877 --> 00:40:58,880
figure out how to
reverse the decision.
887
00:40:58,922 --> 00:41:00,674
- They're gone.
888
00:41:00,715 --> 00:41:03,677
Soraya and her daughter
are back in Lebanon.
889
00:41:12,936 --> 00:41:14,604
- Excuse me.
