of that cake to somebody else...

00:52:12,879 --> 00:52:15,714
Sources at Motor Vehicles say...
864
00:52:15,882 --> 00:52:18,592
...less than 200 Mercedes have plates...
865
00:52:18,760 --> 00:52:23,347
...beginning with "RE," "RB." or "RP."
866
00:52:23,515 --> 00:52:26,976
How did they get this information
out of Motor Vehicles?
867
00:52:27,144 --> 00:52:30,271
Calm down. We've had this information
for over a week.
868
00:52:30,647 --> 00:52:34,233
Why aren't we doing anything about it?
Why aren't we tracing the car?
869
00:52:34,401 --> 00:52:36,402
Actually, I suggested we--
870
00:52:36,570 --> 00:52:39,488
Eh, eh. What am I? The Wizard of Oz?
871
00:52:39,656 --> 00:52:44,326
Trace the car? Trace the car?
We don't even have a witness.
872
00:52:44,494 --> 00:52:47,788
We don't know where it happened,
or even if it happened.
873
00:52:47,956 --> 00:52:49,165
Trace the car.
874
00:52:49,541 --> 00:52:52,835
We don't have a case,
even if we find the car.
875
00:52:53,295 --> 00:52:57,006
If we found the driver,
and the driver came to us and said:
876
00:52:57,174 --> 00:52:59,800
"Yeah, that's right.
877
00:52:59,968 --> 00:53:03,971
I hit this kid the other night,
and I didn't stop.
878
00:53:04,139 --> 00:53:08,642
I didn't report it. I’m the guy. I did it."
Then we got a case.
879
00:53:08,977 --> 00:53:11,187
Just trace the fucking car.
880
00:53:19,154 --> 00:53:21,822
Yesterday, l was
a respected Jewish liberal.
881
00:53:22,657 --> 00:53:26,327
Ten minutes of news like this,
and now I’m a hymie racist pig?
882
00:53:28,830 --> 00:53:31,040
The Italians are going to love this.
883
00:53:31,208 --> 00:53:32,666
The Irish too.
884
00:53:33,501 --> 00:53:34,835
And the WASPs.
885
00:53:36,588 --> 00:53:39,673
They love this shit more than anybody.
886
00:53:40,008 --> 00:53:41,717
They love laughing at me.
887
00:53:42,510 --> 00:53:44,261
All the rich sons of bitches.
888
00:53:44,429 --> 00:53:46,555
They still think they own this town.
889
00:53:46,723 --> 00:53:51,977
They sit in their co-ops, Park Avenue, Fifth,
Beekman Place, snug like a bug.
890
00:53:52,145 --> 00:53:55,022
Twelve-foot ceilings, a wing for them,
one for the help.
891
00:53:55,190 --> 00:53:56,774
They think money'll protect them.
892
00:53:56,942 --> 00:53:58,400
You stupid sons of bitches!
893
00:54:03,907 --> 00:54:08,118
I'd like to light a fire under their
white asses. Let them see how it feels.
894
00:54:08,286 --> 00:54:11,538
Let the Third World see the smoke
and come after them!
895
00:54:12,040 --> 00:54:17,378
Let them feel what it's like when every
Puerto Rican, West Indian, Cuban, Korean...
896
00:54:17,545 --> 00:54:21,131
...Albanian, Filipino, black man
from every borough....
897
00:54:21,299 --> 00:54:24,218
The future knows how to cross a bridge!
898
00:54:26,388 --> 00:54:28,097
You laugh.
899
00:54:28,265 --> 00:54:31,642
You laugh! All right!
Here's what we're going to do!
900
00:54:31,935 --> 00:54:35,271
We're going to turn this thing around
if it kills us!
901
00:54:35,563 --> 00:54:38,649
We'll prove to these black motherfuckers--
902
00:54:38,942 --> 00:54:40,442
Pardon my language.
903
00:54:40,652 --> 00:54:46,282
We'll prove to these niggers
that this administration loves them!
904
00:54:46,449 --> 00:54:48,575
No matter what it takes.
905
00:54:48,743 --> 00:54:52,121
I am no racist hymie.
906
00:54:52,289 --> 00:54:53,372
By November...
907
00:54:54,457 --> 00:54:57,793
...they are going to be thinking of me as...
908
00:55:00,088 --> 00:55:03,173
...the first black district attorney
of Bronx County.
909
00:55:03,550 --> 00:55:05,634
-Huh?
-Heh, yeah.
910
00:55:06,094 --> 00:55:08,929
They're going to beg me to be mayor.
911
00:55:09,097 --> 00:55:11,807
-We'll walk away with that election.
-No question!
912
00:55:11,975 --> 00:55:14,601
-That's what we'll do!
-Yes!
913
00:55:15,270 --> 00:55:20,107
If we have to screw every white asshole
from Albany to Park Avenue, we will!
914
00:55:29,492 --> 00:55:31,410
-No.
-Like people--
915
00:55:31,578 --> 00:55:33,162
Here he comes now.
916
00:55:33,330 --> 00:55:35,080
-Tony, hi.
-It's Eddie, sir.
917
00:55:35,248 --> 00:55:37,708
I'm Detective Martin,
this is Detective Goldberg.
918
00:55:37,876 --> 00:55:41,337
We're investigating a car accident.
Maybe you heard about it.
919
00:55:42,797 --> 00:55:44,298
Yeah.
920
00:55:44,883 --> 00:55:47,092
Yes! On television.
921
00:55:47,344 --> 00:55:49,345
Last night. My wife....
922
00:55:49,596 --> 00:55:54,058
We said, "We have a Mercedes
and the license starts with 'R."'
923
00:55:54,225 --> 00:55:55,601
You and a lot of people.
924
00:55:55,769 --> 00:55:57,019
Going up?
925
00:55:57,228 --> 00:55:59,688
Yeah. Yes, yes, l will.
926
00:56:00,190 --> 00:56:01,523
Should we...?
927
00:56:01,691 --> 00:56:04,234
-Is it bad time for you?
-No, no....
928
00:56:07,030 --> 00:56:09,365
-We just have a few questions.
-Oh, yes.
929
00:56:09,532 --> 00:56:12,451
-Was your car in use the night it happened?
-When?
930
00:56:12,619 --> 00:56:14,078
Tuesday, a week ago.
931
00:56:14,245 --> 00:56:16,080
Let me think.
932
00:56:16,247 --> 00:56:18,207
Anybody else use your car?
933
00:56:18,416 --> 00:56:20,250
My wife sometimes.
934
00:56:20,543 --> 00:56:21,794
The men at the garage.
935
00:56:21,961 --> 00:56:25,005
Parking garage? You leave your car
and they park it?
936
00:56:25,215 --> 00:56:27,424
Can we go see it?
937
00:56:28,760 --> 00:56:30,427
The car? Now?
938
00:56:30,637 --> 00:56:34,264
Since we're here.
There's certain things to look for.
939
00:56:34,557 --> 00:56:37,393
We don't find them, we're out of your hair.
940
00:56:37,644 --> 00:56:40,104
-So you want to look at the car?
-Yeah.
941
00:56:40,271 --> 00:56:42,064
I see. I see.
942
00:56:42,273 --> 00:56:47,236
We don't have a description of a driver,
so we have to look for the car.
943
00:56:47,570 --> 00:56:51,031
We're sorry for the inconvenience,
but it's routine.
944
00:56:51,199 --> 00:56:52,449
I understand.
945
00:56:52,617 --> 00:56:57,996
But if there is a routine,
then l ought to follow the routine...
946
00:56:58,164 --> 00:57:02,042
...that's appropriate to me,
to someone with a car in this situation.
947
00:57:02,210 --> 00:57:03,252
You see?
948
00:57:04,421 --> 00:57:06,380
No, I don't follow.
949
00:57:06,548 --> 00:57:10,676
If there's a routine
in an investigation like this...
950
00:57:10,927 --> 00:57:15,639
...there must also be a routine
for a person like me.
951
00:57:15,807 --> 00:57:18,684
For the owner of a car
with a license number.
952
00:57:18,935 --> 00:57:20,811
That's what I need to consider.
953
00:57:21,813 --> 00:57:23,313
The routine.
954
00:57:24,482 --> 00:57:26,692
We just want to look at your car.
955
00:57:27,610 --> 00:57:29,820
That's what I mean. You see?
956
00:57:30,697 --> 00:57:31,905
No.
957
00:57:32,323 --> 00:57:34,867
GOLDBERG:
Excuse me, Mr. McCoy.
958
00:57:35,285 --> 00:57:36,994
Do you want to tell us something?
959
00:57:37,579 --> 00:57:38,579
No.
960
00:57:39,330 --> 00:57:41,457
No. Heh. How do you mean?
961
00:57:41,958 --> 00:57:45,294
I mean, if there is,
now is the time to tell us.
962
00:57:45,462 --> 00:57:47,171
Before things get complicated.
963
00:57:47,338 --> 00:57:48,881
No, no, no....
964
00:57:49,048 --> 00:57:51,967
I just think that to be certain...
965
00:57:52,218 --> 00:57:55,137
...to be safe, sure, I think--
966
00:57:55,305 --> 00:57:57,097
GOLDBERG:
Let me put it this way:
967
00:57:57,807 --> 00:58:01,810
If you want to cooperate, that'd be great.
968
00:58:03,313 --> 00:58:05,606
If you have a reason not to cooperate...
969
00:58:06,149 --> 00:58:09,651
...you don't have to say anything.
That's your right.
970
00:58:09,819 --> 00:58:13,071
If you want, you can say nothing at all.
971
00:58:13,239 --> 00:58:15,824
You also have the right to an attorney.
972
00:58:15,992 --> 00:58:18,577
For that matter...
973
00:58:18,745 --> 00:58:21,497
...if you lack funds for an attorney...
974
00:58:21,664 --> 00:58:25,334
...the state will provide you
with one free of charge.
975
00:58:25,502 --> 00:58:27,127
If that's what you wanted.
976
00:58:28,171 --> 00:58:30,881
Well, uh, look, uh....
977
00:58:31,049 --> 00:58:35,177
I think what l should do is, uh...
978
00:58:36,554 --> 00:58:38,347
...talk to an attorney.
979
00:58:39,599 --> 00:58:42,017
GOLDBERG:
So I casually read him his rights.
980
00:58:42,185 --> 00:58:44,937
Then he sits down on the guy's desk.
981
00:58:45,104 --> 00:58:48,565
And his eyes get bigger
and he starts double-talking like crazy.
982
00:58:48,733 --> 00:58:50,734
I know that there's something there.
983
00:58:50,902 --> 00:58:52,653
KRAMER:
Mr. Weiss, I think we got him.
984
00:58:54,906 --> 00:58:56,031
Got who?
985
00:58:56,282 --> 00:58:58,283
Sherman McCoy. We got him.
986
00:58:58,535 --> 00:59:00,035
You think it's him?
987
00:59:00,703 --> 00:59:03,372
It's him! This guy is Park Avenue.
988
00:59:03,540 --> 00:59:08,168
His father ran Dunning, Sponget and Leach.
His wife is a socialite.
989
00:59:08,336 --> 00:59:10,754
Does this put an end
to this white-justice shit?
990
00:59:10,922 --> 00:59:12,714
We have zip on him.
991
00:59:12,882 --> 00:59:16,885
We could bring him in for questioning,
then go public.
992
00:59:17,053 --> 00:59:21,390
Go public? With what?
The only witness is in a coma, likely to die.
993
00:59:21,558 --> 00:59:24,434
Don't listen. You got a speech to make.
994
00:59:24,602 --> 00:59:27,062
Send a signal to the poor people
of the city.
995
00:59:27,230 --> 00:59:28,939
Let them know justice is blind.
996
00:59:29,107 --> 00:59:33,277
Let them know that rich whites
get the same treatment as poor blacks.
997
00:59:33,444 --> 00:59:35,571
You must give the people hope.
998
00:59:36,239 --> 00:59:38,657
You mean, we nail the WASP?
999
00:59:38,825 --> 00:59:40,409
To the wall.
1000
00:59:42,829 --> 00:59:44,621
I like this man.
1001
00:59:46,165 --> 00:59:48,750
So I tell him,
"I’m your lawyer from Legal Aid."
1002
00:59:48,918 --> 00:59:53,005
He says, "I don't want a nigger lawyer.
I want a Jew."
1003
00:59:53,256 --> 00:59:54,298
Nice guy.
1004
00:59:54,465 --> 00:59:59,177
-It's his third drug arrest. He wants a deal.
-He'll say he was at the scene?
1005
00:59:59,345 --> 01:00:01,972
He'll say whatever you want him to say.
1006
01:00:02,473 --> 01:00:06,935
Get me Andruitti. Tell him it's urgent
about this Lamb shit.
1007
01:00:07,103 --> 01:00:12,107
Suppose this other fellow comes forward.
There was another fellow. He was big--
1008
01:00:12,275 --> 01:00:17,154
I believe you. It was a set-up.
They were going to rob you.
1009
01:00:17,322 --> 01:00:19,948
He has good reasons not to come forward.
1010
01:00:20,158 --> 01:00:22,284
Now, you just sit tight.
1011
01:00:22,952 --> 01:00:27,456
Look, you were recommended
as the best criminal lawyer around.
1012
01:00:27,665 --> 01:00:30,125
But l didn't come here to....
1013
01:00:30,460 --> 01:00:34,880
I want to preempt this situation.
I don't want it to go any further.
1014
01:00:35,298 --> 01:00:36,548
What does that mean?
1015
01:00:36,716 --> 01:00:38,884
I want to take the initiative.
1016
01:00:39,135 --> 01:00:41,553
I want to go to the police with Maria...
1017
01:00:41,721 --> 01:00:44,681
...with Mrs. Ruskin,
and tell them what happened.
1018
01:00:44,974 --> 01:00:48,644
I feel morally certain
that what we did was right...
1019
01:00:48,895 --> 01:00:50,854
...in the circumstances we were in.
1020
01:00:51,022 --> 01:00:52,314
[KILLIAN LAUGHING]
1021
01:00:52,482 --> 01:00:56,276
Yeah, you Wall Street honchos
are real gamblers.
1022
01:00:58,029 --> 01:01:00,030
What are you, nuts?
1023
01:01:00,823 --> 01:01:03,158
They will devour you.
1024
01:01:03,409 --> 01:01:05,494
-Eat you alive.
-Why?
1025
01:01:05,662 --> 01:01:07,996
Forget that it's a political football.
1026
01:01:08,164 --> 01:01:10,749
Forget about the TV and Reverend Bacon...
1027
01:01:10,917 --> 01:01:13,835
...and Weiss's upcoming election.
1028
01:01:14,045 --> 01:01:18,507
Remember that every day, the Bronx DA
prosecutes people with names...
1029
01:01:18,675 --> 01:01:22,302
...like Tiffany Latour, Sancho Rodriguez...
1030
01:01:22,470 --> 01:01:25,764
...Chong Wong and Shabazz Tamali.
1031
01:01:25,932 --> 01:01:31,186
So he's dying to get his hands on a nice
