1
00:00:02,896 --> 00:00:05,246
I wish I had better news
for you, Donovan.
2
00:00:05,289 --> 00:00:07,683
That dockworker's testimony...
3
00:00:07,726 --> 00:00:10,381
I'm not sure we can get past it.
4
00:00:12,514 --> 00:00:13,950
How long's it been, Keith?
5
00:00:13,994 --> 00:00:16,518
30 years?
6
00:00:16,561 --> 00:00:19,260
And Donovan's never been
convicted with you at his side.
7
00:00:19,303 --> 00:00:21,479
We thank you for that.
8
00:00:21,523 --> 00:00:22,872
But...
9
00:00:22,916 --> 00:00:24,918
now you got to be
honest with us.
10
00:00:24,961 --> 00:00:27,659
What should we be preparing for?
11
00:00:27,703 --> 00:00:29,661
Barring a miracle,
12
00:00:29,705 --> 00:00:31,707
a "guilty" sentence.
13
00:00:31,750 --> 00:00:34,536
And with Judge Stanley,
14
00:00:34,579 --> 00:00:37,844
a former D.A.,
his history on sentencing
15
00:00:37,887 --> 00:00:40,977
for this type of thing and...
Donovan's record...
16
00:00:42,587 --> 00:00:45,025
we are almost certainly
looking at the maximum.
17
00:00:45,068 --> 00:00:47,201
The full 25 years.
18
00:00:47,244 --> 00:00:50,030
My God...
19
00:00:50,073 --> 00:00:52,684
That's the rest of your life.
20
00:00:52,728 --> 00:00:56,210
He did say "barring a miracle."
21
00:00:56,253 --> 00:00:59,778
I guess I'll just
have to pray for that, huh?
22
00:00:59,822 --> 00:01:02,390
You'll pray, too.
23
00:01:02,433 --> 00:01:04,305
Won't you, son?
24
00:01:13,444 --> 00:01:15,794
Evening, Judge.
How you doing tonight?
25
00:01:15,838 --> 00:01:18,928
Uh, I'll tell you
in a couple of hours.
26
00:01:38,992 --> 00:01:41,298
Hey. Hey, Brendan.
27
00:01:43,344 --> 00:01:45,215
Get in the car. I've got something
I got to do.
28
00:01:45,259 --> 00:01:47,087
No, I know what you think
you got to do,
29
00:01:47,130 --> 00:01:48,934
but just get in the car,
Brendan; you're only gonna
30
00:01:48,958 --> 00:01:51,308
make things worse. Says you. Go
home and study.
31
00:01:51,352 --> 00:01:52,614
Hey, wait.
32
00:02:10,632 --> 00:02:12,088
Drive, Dolittle, drive.
Brendan, what did you do?
33
00:02:12,112 --> 00:02:13,374
Punch it, Doc.
34
00:02:20,163 --> 00:02:22,165
[playing "How Much
Is That Doggie In the Window?"]
35
00:02:24,167 --> 00:02:25,777
Hmm.
36
00:02:25,821 --> 00:02:27,866
Go away. I'm trying
to find a reason to live.
37
00:02:29,172 --> 00:02:30,652
Am I not reason enough?
38
00:02:30,695 --> 00:02:32,151
First thing they teach you
at law school,
39
00:02:32,175 --> 00:02:34,135
don't ask a question
if you don't know the answer.
40
00:02:34,177 --> 00:02:36,571
Good morning to you, too.
41
00:02:36,614 --> 00:02:38,660
They just phoned
from downstairs.
42
00:02:38,703 --> 00:02:42,446
A woman who claims to be
Colleen McCandless
43
00:02:42,490 --> 00:02:44,274
was inquiring whether or not
44
00:02:44,318 --> 00:02:45,841
she could get
an appointment with you.
45
00:02:45,884 --> 00:02:47,147
Right now.
46
00:02:47,190 --> 00:02:48,713
Colleen McCandless...
47
00:02:48,757 --> 00:02:50,150
is married to...
48
00:02:50,193 --> 00:02:51,586
Donovan McCandless.
49
00:02:51,629 --> 00:02:54,110
He's on trial for extortion
and racketeering.
50
00:02:54,154 --> 00:02:55,870
He was supposed
to be sentenced two days ago,
51
00:02:55,894 --> 00:02:58,723
when the judge in the case
inconveniently
52
00:02:58,767 --> 00:03:02,031
got his throat slit
on Montague Street in Brooklyn.
53
00:03:02,075 --> 00:03:04,338
Okay.
Is the conference room free?
54
00:03:04,381 --> 00:03:06,035
Do we have a metal detector?
55
00:03:06,079 --> 00:03:07,994
Answer the second question
first.
56
00:03:25,359 --> 00:03:27,361
Mrs. McCandless? Ten letter word
57
00:03:27,404 --> 00:03:31,017
for the guardianship
and control exercised
58
00:03:31,060 --> 00:03:33,236
by the Lord our God?
59
00:03:35,325 --> 00:03:37,066
Providence.
60
00:03:38,198 --> 00:03:40,200
Thank you.
61
00:03:42,724 --> 00:03:45,379
Sorry to have dropped in
unannounced, Dr. Bull.
62
00:03:45,422 --> 00:03:46,945
Ah, well, how can I be of help?
63
00:03:46,989 --> 00:03:49,513
Or was it just the one word
you came up for?
64
00:03:49,557 --> 00:03:52,081
Do you do crossword puzzles? Once in a
great while.
65
00:03:52,125 --> 00:03:54,605
I can't stand having
nothing to do.
66
00:03:54,649 --> 00:03:56,607
Feeling powerless.
67
00:03:56,651 --> 00:03:59,132
Now that there are
crosswords on my phone...
68
00:04:02,091 --> 00:04:04,528
My two sons...
69
00:04:04,572 --> 00:04:07,575
Brendan, my oldest,
and Connor, who just turned 22...
70
00:04:07,618 --> 00:04:09,446
Were arrested last night.
71
00:04:09,490 --> 00:04:11,840
Charged with the murder
of a judge.
72
00:04:11,883 --> 00:04:14,625
Judge Weston Stanley.
73
00:04:14,669 --> 00:04:16,627
I'm familiar.
74
00:04:16,671 --> 00:04:19,239
It's a federal crime
to kill a federal judge.
75
00:04:19,282 --> 00:04:21,676
Death penalty crime.
76
00:04:21,719 --> 00:04:25,114
And apparently this happened
in the middle of the street
77
00:04:25,158 --> 00:04:27,377
with... a whole lot
of witnesses around
78
00:04:27,421 --> 00:04:29,640
and I'm... sorry,
but I'm actually not sure
79
00:04:29,684 --> 00:04:31,425
how I can be of help to you.
80
00:04:31,468 --> 00:04:33,688
Let's begin at the beginning.
81
00:04:33,731 --> 00:04:37,257
Do you even want to be of help
to me and my family?
82
00:04:44,351 --> 00:04:46,440
You understand
how it looks, right?
83
00:04:46,483 --> 00:04:48,964
Your husband's trial
isn't going well,
84
00:04:49,007 --> 00:04:51,053
so his sons murder the judge
85
00:04:51,097 --> 00:04:53,447
in hopes of getting a mistrial.
86
00:04:53,490 --> 00:04:56,841
See if maybe they can do better
the next time around.
87
00:04:58,321 --> 00:05:00,236
You didn't answer my question.
88
00:05:02,325 --> 00:05:05,676
I'm not in the habit of
assisting career criminals, no.
89
00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:09,158
My sons were apprehended
in a car
90
00:05:09,202 --> 00:05:11,291
identified at the scene
of the crime.
91
00:05:11,334 --> 00:05:13,989
And the knife that was used
to slit the judge's throat
92
00:05:14,032 --> 00:05:16,644
was found in
my oldest's possession.
93
00:05:16,687 --> 00:05:18,080
Okay.
94
00:05:18,124 --> 00:05:19,995
Are you trying to convince me?
95
00:05:20,038 --> 00:05:22,171
I think you should also know
that my firstborn
96
00:05:22,215 --> 00:05:24,086
has a very lengthy
criminal record.
97
00:05:24,130 --> 00:05:25,827
Duly noted.
98
00:05:25,870 --> 00:05:28,482
I'm not unaware that juries
go in with opinions
99
00:05:28,525 --> 00:05:31,789
already formed about what
it must be to be a McCandless.
100
00:05:31,833 --> 00:05:33,835
My attorney indicated
101
00:05:33,878 --> 00:05:36,229
that this sort of challenge
was your specialty.
102
00:05:36,272 --> 00:05:40,189
As I mentioned previously...
I'm not asking you to help
103
00:05:40,233 --> 00:05:41,538
a career criminal.
104
00:05:41,582 --> 00:05:44,498
I'm not asking you
to help my older son.
105
00:05:44,541 --> 00:05:46,674
Just my youngest.
106
00:05:46,717 --> 00:05:48,241
Just Connor. He's innocent.
107
00:05:49,503 --> 00:05:51,244
He's why I'm here.
108
00:05:53,246 --> 00:05:56,771
So you just want me
to help the one,
109
00:05:56,814 --> 00:05:58,947
not the other son? Brendan's lost to me.
110
00:05:58,990 --> 00:06:00,775
Has been for a long time.
111
00:06:00,818 --> 00:06:02,385
He's...
112
00:06:02,429 --> 00:06:05,910
Runs call girls and numbers,
he's his father's boy.
113
00:06:05,954 --> 00:06:08,304
But Connor, my youngest...
114
00:06:08,348 --> 00:06:09,890
he's never been involved
in the business.
115
00:06:09,914 --> 00:06:12,178
He's a year into med school.
116
00:06:13,875 --> 00:06:17,226
No one in our family has ever
even gotten a college degree,
117
00:06:17,270 --> 00:06:19,272
let alone thought about
becoming a doctor.
118
00:06:19,315 --> 00:06:22,231
Mrs. McCandless... Connor didn't
choose his father.
119
00:06:22,275 --> 00:06:24,190
I did.
120
00:06:27,367 --> 00:06:28,933
He shouldn't have
even been there.
121
00:06:30,587 --> 00:06:32,110
It was my fault.
122
00:06:32,154 --> 00:06:33,547
I asked him to go.
123
00:06:33,590 --> 00:06:35,549
I don't understand.
124
00:06:35,592 --> 00:06:38,160
How is it your fault?
Connor was the one driving
125
00:06:38,204 --> 00:06:39,920
the getaway car.
I knew my husband and Brendan
126
00:06:39,944 --> 00:06:41,400
were up to something
and I called Connor
127
00:06:41,424 --> 00:06:43,252
and I told him he needed
to get into the car
128
00:06:43,296 --> 00:06:46,473
and get his brother, make sure
he didn't do anything stupid.
129
00:06:49,954 --> 00:06:51,304
It's my fault.
130
00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:55,482
You at all interested
in my opinion?
131
00:06:55,525 --> 00:06:56,918
I'm pretty sure I can guess.
132
00:06:56,961 --> 00:06:58,528
You know, these guys...
133
00:06:58,572 --> 00:07:01,227
they're accused of
killing a judge.
134
00:07:01,270 --> 00:07:03,316
Before we even walk
through the door,
135
00:07:03,359 --> 00:07:05,100
everyone in that courthouse
136
00:07:05,143 --> 00:07:06,512
is going to be against us.
Two things:
137
00:07:06,536 --> 00:07:07,929
I haven't agreed
to take the case.
138
00:07:07,972 --> 00:07:09,322
Only to meet the younger son.
139
00:07:09,365 --> 00:07:10,777
And what's the
second thing? The younger son
140
00:07:10,801 --> 00:07:12,803
is the only one
we would represent.
141
00:07:12,847 --> 00:07:15,328
And he didn't pick his father.
142
00:07:15,371 --> 00:07:17,286
I'd also point out
143
00:07:17,330 --> 00:07:18,809
that we have represented clients
144
00:07:18,853 --> 00:07:21,159
accused of every kind
of crime there is
145
00:07:21,203 --> 00:07:22,789
and the courtroom is always
biased against the accused.
146
00:07:22,813 --> 00:07:25,425
Yes, but in this case,
the accused
147
00:07:25,468 --> 00:07:27,296
is a member of a crime family.
148
00:07:27,340 --> 00:07:30,256
Whether he chose to
be a member or not.
149
00:07:30,299 --> 00:07:32,214
And as a former prosecutor,
150
00:07:32,258 --> 00:07:34,782
I have a difficult time
turning a blind eye to that.
151
00:07:34,825 --> 00:07:36,566
And-and look, I
get it. I get it.
152
00:07:36,610 --> 00:07:38,220
Everybody deserves a defense.
153
00:07:38,264 --> 00:07:40,962
But Donovan McCandless
and his clan?
154
00:07:41,005 --> 00:07:44,226
Benny, the only promise I made
was to meet the boy.
155
00:07:46,010 --> 00:07:47,708
All right.
You're the boss.
156
00:07:51,538 --> 00:07:54,628
I wasn't there to help him,
I was there to stop him.
157
00:07:54,671 --> 00:07:56,717
After I talked to my mom,
158
00:07:56,760 --> 00:07:58,588
I-I called Brendan.
But his phone was off.
159
00:07:58,632 --> 00:08:00,808
So I started
asking around to see
160
00:08:00,851 --> 00:08:02,592
if anybody knew where he was.
161
00:08:02,636 --> 00:08:05,073
This guy my father works with
told me that Brendan had been
162
00:08:05,116 --> 00:08:07,510
trying to get the home address
of Judge Stanley.
163
00:08:07,554 --> 00:08:09,860
I put two and two together.
164
00:08:09,904 --> 00:08:12,428
Got on the Internet,
it took about five minutes.
165
00:08:12,472 --> 00:08:13,864
I mean...
166
00:08:13,908 --> 00:08:15,692
my brother's done
some bad things before,
167
00:08:15,736 --> 00:08:17,564
but I thought...
168
00:08:17,607 --> 00:08:19,522
i-if I could just talk to him.
169
00:08:19,566 --> 00:08:22,351
So when I got there, it seemed
like I had made it in time.
170
00:08:22,395 --> 00:08:24,527
But I couldn't get him
to get in the car with me.
171
00:08:24,571 --> 00:08:26,964
A-And the next thing I know,
the judge is leaving his house
172
00:08:27,008 --> 00:08:30,185
and Brendan sneaks up
behind him...
173
00:08:30,228 --> 00:08:33,231
slits his throat,
then jumps in the car with me
174
00:08:33,275 --> 00:08:35,886
and orders me to drive away. Orders you?
175
00:08:35,930 --> 00:08:38,280
H-He put a pistol to my head.
176
00:08:40,674 --> 00:08:43,633
Anyway, like five minutes later,
the cops pulled us over.
177
00:08:43,677 --> 00:08:47,289
What'd you tell them? Uh, nothing.
178
00:08:47,333 --> 00:08:49,944
Some things you just learn
sitting at the kitchen table.
179
00:08:49,987 --> 00:08:52,381
I learned young not to talk.
180
00:08:52,425 --> 00:08:54,252
So you didn't tell them
181
00:08:54,296 --> 00:08:55,602
that story you just told us?
182
00:08:55,645 --> 00:08:57,255
Okay.
183
00:08:57,299 --> 00:08:59,736
Well, if we got involved,
184
00:08:59,780 --> 00:09:02,826
I'd want to file
a motion to sever
185
00:09:02,870 --> 00:09:04,611
your trial from your brother's.
186
00:09:04,654 --> 00:09:07,788
Right now, you're being
charged together with murder.
187
00:09:07,831 --> 00:09:10,921
Meaning, you'll both be tried
at the same time
188
00:09:10,965 --> 00:09:12,270
with the same jury.
189
00:09:12,314 --> 00:09:14,229
We'd be requesting
for your trials to be
190
00:09:14,272 --> 00:09:15,883
completely separated.
191
00:09:15,926 --> 00:09:17,319
The more we can distance you
192
00:09:17,363 --> 00:09:19,103
from your family's reputation,
the better.
193
00:09:19,147 --> 00:09:21,584
Benny's right;
your best chance
194
00:09:21,628 --> 00:09:23,673
is for you to just
tell the truth.
195
00:09:23,717 --> 00:09:25,564
Explain that you were trying
to stop your brother
196
00:09:25,588 --> 00:09:27,416
and the only reason
you drove away
197
00:09:27,460 --> 00:09:29,113
is that you were afraid
for your life.
198
00:09:29,157 --> 00:09:30,854
I don't think you understand.
199
00:09:30,898 --> 00:09:32,943
I can't say that.
200
00:09:32,987 --> 00:09:36,599
I'd effectively be testifying
against my own brother.Connor.
201
00:09:36,643 --> 00:09:38,993
If you won't
speak up for yourself
202
00:09:39,036 --> 00:09:41,387
against Brendan,
we don't have a case.
203
00:09:41,430 --> 00:09:43,214
You don't have a case.
204
00:09:43,258 --> 00:09:45,042
Look...
205
00:09:45,086 --> 00:09:48,089
I never wanted anything to do
with my family's business.
206
00:09:48,132 --> 00:09:51,179
But that doesn't mean
that I don't love my family.
207
00:09:51,222 --> 00:09:53,877
My brother and I
have always been different.
208
00:09:53,921 --> 00:09:57,141
But there were times when we
were all each other had.
209
00:09:57,185 --> 00:10:00,057
We made a pact a long time ago.
210
00:10:00,101 --> 00:10:02,799
We do not turn on each other,
we protect each other.
211
00:10:02,843 --> 00:10:04,627
No matter what.
212
00:10:04,671 --> 00:10:06,412
No offense, but...
it doesn't sound like
213
00:10:06,455 --> 00:10:09,023
he was honoring that pact
when he put a gun to your head.
214
00:10:09,066 --> 00:10:10,938
He was scared.
215
00:10:10,981 --> 00:10:13,810
Brendan's always been scared.
216
00:10:13,854 --> 00:10:17,466
Of Dad, of being a screwup.
217
00:10:17,510 --> 00:10:19,163
Being a disappointment.
218
00:10:21,296 --> 00:10:23,080
Brendan would never hurt me.
219
00:10:23,124 --> 00:10:26,170
You could spend the rest
of your life in prison.
220
00:10:26,214 --> 00:10:28,869
And if I testify against him,
221
00:10:28,912 --> 00:10:30,827
he could get the death penalty.
222
00:10:30,871 --> 00:10:34,091
I'm not gonna be responsible
for killing my brother.
223
00:10:37,138 --> 00:10:39,445
Well, notwithstanding
the investment in time,
224
00:10:39,488 --> 00:10:41,185
I think that worked out
for the best.
225
00:10:41,229 --> 00:10:44,145
I'm telling you,
no good could come
226
00:10:44,188 --> 00:10:46,123
from representing people
who have spent their lives
227
00:10:46,147 --> 00:10:47,583
engaging in criminal activity.
228
00:10:47,627 --> 00:10:50,847
As far as I can tell,
that boy's never spent a minute
229
00:10:50,891 --> 00:10:53,676
doing anything outside the law.
230
00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:56,026
I'm telling his mother
we're taking the case.
231
00:10:56,070 --> 00:10:58,681
Excuse me?
232
00:10:58,725 --> 00:11:02,380
Wa... was I not
in the same room as you?
233
00:11:02,424 --> 00:11:05,862
The boy does not want to be
pitted against his brother.
234
00:11:05,906 --> 00:11:07,473
He made that point
crystal clear.
235
00:11:07,516 --> 00:11:10,171
And the only way in hell
to get him off
236
00:11:10,214 --> 00:11:12,434
is to sever his trial
from the man
237
00:11:12,478 --> 00:11:15,959
who did the actual killing;
and he won't do it.
238
00:11:16,003 --> 00:11:17,221
What am I missing?
239
00:11:17,265 --> 00:11:20,398
You haven't met the mother.
240
00:11:20,442 --> 00:11:21,791
He'll do it.
241
00:11:21,835 --> 00:11:26,100
He'll do whatever
Mommy tells him to do.
242
00:11:38,102 --> 00:11:39,538
You gotta know
this wasn't my idea.
243
00:11:39,581 --> 00:11:42,845
I wasn't born yesterday.
244
00:11:42,889 --> 00:11:44,021
All rise.
245
00:11:44,064 --> 00:11:47,502
The Honorable Judge Hamilton
presiding.
246
00:11:50,114 --> 00:11:53,291
I understand you'd like to be
heard on a motion, Mr. Colón?
247
00:11:53,334 --> 00:11:55,728
Yes, Your Honor.
Thank you, Your Honor.
248
00:11:55,771 --> 00:11:59,079
My client, defendant
Connor McCandless,
249
00:11:59,123 --> 00:12:01,603
is asking for the court's
permission to sever his trial
250
00:12:01,647 --> 00:12:04,084
from that of codefendant,
Brendan McCandless.
251
00:12:04,128 --> 00:12:05,192
Your Honor, for the record,
252
00:12:05,216 --> 00:12:06,739
the prosecution
vehemently objects
253
00:12:06,782 --> 00:12:08,306
on the grounds...
254
00:12:08,349 --> 00:12:10,743
Motion denied.
255
00:12:13,267 --> 00:12:15,791
Forgive me, Your Honor,
I was not
256
00:12:15,835 --> 00:12:18,751
given the opportunity
to argue the motion.
257
00:12:18,794 --> 00:12:21,362
The law's the law, Counselor.
258
00:12:21,406 --> 00:12:24,278
Any argument you choose to make
would be beside the point.
259
00:12:24,322 --> 00:12:28,065
I... I beg to differ,
Your Honor.
260
00:12:28,108 --> 00:12:31,764
I think it's only reasonable
that you hear out
261
00:12:31,807 --> 00:12:34,419
the particular circumstances
surrounding...
262
00:12:34,462 --> 00:12:36,638
Are you calling me
unreasonable, Counselor?
263
00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:41,600
This court finds you
in contempt, Mr. Colón.
264
00:12:41,643 --> 00:12:45,125
Really? You can't be serious.
265
00:12:45,169 --> 00:12:49,260
This court hereby fines you
$1,000. Serious enough?
266
00:12:49,303 --> 00:12:50,348
But, Your Honor...
267
00:12:50,391 --> 00:12:51,740
Let's make it 2,000.
268
00:12:51,784 --> 00:12:55,266
And lest you mistake
my intentions here,
269
00:12:55,309 --> 00:12:57,616
if I hear one more word
from you, Mr. Colón,
270
00:12:57,659 --> 00:12:59,052
you will be taken into custody.
271
00:13:00,923 --> 00:13:03,012
Now...
272
00:13:03,056 --> 00:13:04,884
is there anything else?
273
00:13:04,927 --> 00:13:07,800
That's everything, Your Honor.
274
00:13:07,843 --> 00:13:10,194
Very well, then.
275
00:13:10,237 --> 00:13:13,240
The trial begins this afternoon,
1:00 p.m.
276
00:13:13,284 --> 00:13:16,765
Court's adjourned.
277
00:13:24,643 --> 00:13:26,558
Please tell me you got it.
278
00:13:26,601 --> 00:13:29,126
Okay. But I'd be lying.
279
00:13:29,169 --> 00:13:30,257
I'm not doing any better.
280
00:13:30,301 --> 00:13:31,911
My number one source over there
281
00:13:31,954 --> 00:13:34,653
put me on hold 17 minutes ago.
282
00:13:34,696 --> 00:13:36,394
I've called in
every favor I can,
283
00:13:36,437 --> 00:13:38,918
but no one is willing
to slip us the jury list.
284
00:13:38,961 --> 00:13:41,268
Who knew?
Nobody at the courthouse
285
00:13:41,312 --> 00:13:44,141
is willing to help the folks who
are defending the judge killer.
286
00:13:44,184 --> 00:13:45,490
Everybody over there
looked at me
287
00:13:45,533 --> 00:13:47,666
like I had stole their dog.
288
00:13:47,709 --> 00:13:49,146
Ah...
289
00:13:49,189 --> 00:13:50,843
So, what did Marissa
have to say?
290
00:13:50,886 --> 00:13:53,498
Well, looks like we're
gonna do voir dire old-school.
291
00:13:53,541 --> 00:13:56,196
No earwig, no jury list,
no research in advance.
292
00:13:56,240 --> 00:13:59,330
Just you, me and
a yellow legal pad
293
00:13:59,373 --> 00:14:00,853
flying by the seat of our pants.
294
00:14:00,896 --> 00:14:03,160
Oh, so it's not just
the judge who hates us.
295
00:14:03,203 --> 00:14:05,901
No, I'd say the entire
courthouse is united
296
00:14:05,945 --> 00:14:07,773
in their contempt for TAC.
297
00:14:07,816 --> 00:14:09,209
I hate to say I told you so.
298
00:14:09,253 --> 00:14:10,993
No, you don't.
299
00:14:11,037 --> 00:14:13,474
So, what's the game plan,
General Custer?
300
00:14:12,587 --> 00:14:14,371
We'll be battling
something called
301
00:14:14,415 --> 00:14:16,895
an "anchoring bias,"
which is when a person
302
00:14:16,939 --> 00:14:18,810
possesses a trait so dominant
303
00:14:18,854 --> 00:14:20,310
that it colors everything else
about them.
304
00:14:20,334 --> 00:14:22,137
It could be age, it could
be race, it could be income.
305
00:14:22,161 --> 00:14:25,643
Or even a family's reputation. Precisely.
306
00:14:25,687 --> 00:14:28,080
And, lucky us, we won't
just have one McCandless
307
00:14:28,124 --> 00:14:29,797
sitting at the defense table,
we'll have two.
308
00:14:29,821 --> 00:14:31,519
That's quite an anchor.
309
00:14:32,576 --> 00:14:35,100
What we really need
are people with
310
00:14:35,144 --> 00:14:37,189
a kind of tunnel vision.
311
00:14:37,233 --> 00:14:39,061
People who are prone
to making decisions
312
00:14:39,104 --> 00:14:41,193
based solely on what they have
313
00:14:41,237 --> 00:14:43,171
directly in front of them,
as opposed to all the baggage
314
00:14:43,195 --> 00:14:45,372
a person might bring into
the courtroom with them.
315
00:14:45,415 --> 00:14:48,549
So, who do you like?
316
00:14:48,592 --> 00:14:50,551
See juror number nine? Mm.
317
00:14:50,594 --> 00:14:52,030
Holding a newspaper.
318
00:14:52,074 --> 00:14:53,554
It's open to
the movie timetable.
319
00:14:53,597 --> 00:14:55,251
Let's start with him.
320
00:14:55,295 --> 00:14:56,470
Good afternoon.
321
00:14:56,513 --> 00:14:58,341
All right.
322
00:14:58,385 --> 00:15:01,910
Sir, I couldn't help
but notice your newspaper.
323
00:15:01,953 --> 00:15:03,955
You had it open to the
movie page. You a fan?
324
00:15:03,999 --> 00:15:05,435
All my life.
Okay.
325
00:15:05,479 --> 00:15:09,874
So, let's say you head
over to the movies.
326
00:15:09,918 --> 00:15:12,486
You've got it in your head
to see that big blockbuster
327
00:15:12,529 --> 00:15:14,183
everybody's been talking about.
328
00:15:14,226 --> 00:15:16,925
But when you get over there,
it's all sold out.
329
00:15:16,968 --> 00:15:19,928
The only movie you can
still get tickets to
330
00:15:19,971 --> 00:15:22,757
is one that does not
have good word of mouth.
331
00:15:22,800 --> 00:15:24,149
You still buying a ticket?
332
00:15:24,193 --> 00:15:25,760
Probably.
333
00:15:25,803 --> 00:15:28,284
Frankly, I don't much care
what anyone else thinks.
334
00:15:28,328 --> 00:15:29,870
And when I'm in the mood
to see a movie,
335
00:15:29,894 --> 00:15:31,983
I'm in the mood to see a movie.
336
00:15:35,160 --> 00:15:38,033
We could also use
some black sheep.
337
00:15:38,076 --> 00:15:40,470
Jurors who know what it's like
to be stuck in a group,
338
00:15:40,514 --> 00:15:43,604
and branded with a label
they did nothing to earn.
339
00:15:43,647 --> 00:15:45,301
Show of hands.
340
00:15:45,345 --> 00:15:47,825
How many of you are
under the age of 30?
341
00:15:50,001 --> 00:15:53,962
Okay, now, how many of you
own three devices or more?
342
00:15:54,005 --> 00:15:58,227
Phone, laptop, desktop, tablet.
343
00:15:58,270 --> 00:16:01,361
Okay. Two devices or more?
344
00:16:03,580 --> 00:16:06,496
Just one device?
345
00:16:06,540 --> 00:16:10,326
You, sir, do you not
own a cell phone?
346
00:16:10,370 --> 00:16:12,850
I did, but I don't.
347
00:16:12,894 --> 00:16:15,375
No laptop, tablet?
348
00:16:15,418 --> 00:16:18,029
I know, it's like I'm
a traitor to my generation.
349
00:16:18,073 --> 00:16:20,815
But I really prefer
reading books and newspapers,
350
00:16:20,858 --> 00:16:22,401
and choosing when
I want to talk to someone,
351
00:16:22,425 --> 00:16:24,732
and when I want to be
available to be talked to.
352
00:16:24,775 --> 00:16:26,342
I like my music on vinyl,
353
00:16:26,386 --> 00:16:28,562
and I do most
of my shopping in person.
354
00:16:31,260 --> 00:16:34,611
Your Honor, this juror is
acceptable to the defense.
355
00:16:37,135 --> 00:16:38,702
Didn't see the mother
in court today.
356
00:16:38,746 --> 00:16:41,662
Yeah, well, I figured
the potential jurors
357
00:16:41,705 --> 00:16:44,360
had enough McCandless
family members to look at.
358
00:16:44,404 --> 00:16:46,928
Did you convince Connor
to take the stand,
359
00:16:46,971 --> 00:16:48,669
talk about his brother?
360
00:16:49,931 --> 00:16:51,759
Not yet.
Not that I've heard.
361
00:16:51,802 --> 00:16:53,804
Not that I'm... aware of.
362
00:16:53,848 --> 00:16:55,458
How long have we
known each other?
363
00:16:55,502 --> 00:16:57,068
Long time.
364
00:16:57,112 --> 00:17:00,463
We both know these people do not
testify against each other.
365
00:17:00,507 --> 00:17:02,422
Do not rat on each other.
366
00:17:02,465 --> 00:17:03,727
Just doesn't happen.
367
00:17:03,771 --> 00:17:05,860
And then I heard
368
00:17:05,903 --> 00:17:08,036
a scream...
369
00:17:08,079 --> 00:17:10,430
and I knew something terrible
had happened.
370
00:17:10,473 --> 00:17:13,041
And when I turned around,
371
00:17:13,084 --> 00:17:17,088
he was on the ground,
and blood was just...
372
00:17:17,132 --> 00:17:19,047
pouring out of him.
373
00:17:19,090 --> 00:17:21,049
And did you see the attacker?
374
00:17:21,092 --> 00:17:22,703
Yes.
375
00:17:22,746 --> 00:17:24,835
He's that man.
376
00:17:24,879 --> 00:17:27,664
For the record,
the witness has identified
377
00:17:27,708 --> 00:17:30,101
the defendant,
Mr. Brendan McCandless.
378
00:17:31,538 --> 00:17:32,756
And then what happened?
379
00:17:32,800 --> 00:17:36,717
That man, who slit
the judge's throat,
380
00:17:36,760 --> 00:17:40,938
he ran back to his getaway car
and pulled off his mask.
381
00:17:40,982 --> 00:17:45,203
That's when I saw him,
as he was getting into his car.
382
00:17:45,247 --> 00:17:47,945
A-a silver sedan.
383
00:17:47,989 --> 00:17:51,122
Was this the car? Yes.
384
00:17:51,166 --> 00:17:52,950
And did you see the driver?
385
00:17:52,994 --> 00:17:55,126
Yes.
386
00:17:55,170 --> 00:17:57,477
For the record,
the witness has identified
387
00:17:57,520 --> 00:18:01,350
the defendant,
Mr. Connor McCandless.
388
00:18:01,393 --> 00:18:04,135
No further questions
at this time, Your Honor.
389
00:18:05,485 --> 00:18:07,356
Ms. Hartley, I believe
you used the expression
390
00:18:07,399 --> 00:18:09,010
"getaway car," am I correct?
391
00:18:09,053 --> 00:18:10,620
I think so, yes.
392
00:18:10,664 --> 00:18:12,753
And when you were interviewed
by the police,
393
00:18:12,796 --> 00:18:14,276
you told them you were standing
394
00:18:14,319 --> 00:18:16,408
about 50 feet away
from the vehicle.
395
00:18:16,452 --> 00:18:17,801
That's correct.
396
00:18:17,845 --> 00:18:19,977
And could you see anything
inside the vehicle?
397
00:18:20,021 --> 00:18:22,502
No, it-it was too dark.
398
00:18:22,545 --> 00:18:26,941
But you just identified
the driver as my client.
399
00:18:26,984 --> 00:18:28,246
Can you explain that?
400
00:18:28,290 --> 00:18:33,077
When the car took off,
it drove right by me,
401
00:18:33,121 --> 00:18:34,426
and I could actually see
402
00:18:34,470 --> 00:18:37,125
right into
the driver's side window.
403
00:18:37,168 --> 00:18:39,519
That's when I saw your client.
404
00:18:39,562 --> 00:18:41,521
I see, but...
405
00:18:41,564 --> 00:18:46,830
at the moment the judge's killer
actually entered the car,
406
00:18:46,874 --> 00:18:50,312
you couldn't see if he
punched the driver
407
00:18:50,355 --> 00:18:52,009
or held a gun
to the driver's head,
408
00:18:52,053 --> 00:18:54,490
or forced him in some way
to drive?
409
00:18:54,534 --> 00:18:56,448
Well, no, but... Thank you.
410
00:18:56,492 --> 00:18:58,581
No further questions,
Your Honor.
411
00:18:58,625 --> 00:19:01,279
So much for the eyewitness.
412
00:19:01,323 --> 00:19:02,585
Yeah, I'm not so sure.
413
00:19:02,629 --> 00:19:04,544
It didn't move the needle
over here.
414
00:19:06,807 --> 00:19:08,504
I don't mean to sound
like a broken record,
415
00:19:08,548 --> 00:19:09,908
but have you heard
from the mother?
416
00:19:09,940 --> 00:19:11,246
No.
417
00:19:11,289 --> 00:19:12,987
Connor said anything to you?
418
00:19:13,030 --> 00:19:14,834
'Cause he certainly hasn't
said anything to me.
419
00:19:14,858 --> 00:19:15,946
No.
420
00:19:17,644 --> 00:19:19,254
Well, not to belabor
the obvious,
421
00:19:19,297 --> 00:19:21,473
but in the very near future,
the prosecution
422
00:19:21,517 --> 00:19:23,084
is gonna rest their case.
423
00:19:23,127 --> 00:19:25,086
And all we really have
is Connor.
424
00:19:25,129 --> 00:19:27,194
And if he's unwilling to talk
about what his brother did...
425
00:19:27,218 --> 00:19:28,263
I know.
426
00:19:28,306 --> 00:19:30,613
Tomorrow at lunch,
we'll sit him down,
427
00:19:30,657 --> 00:19:32,093
we'll have the talk.
428
00:19:32,136 --> 00:19:34,486
In fact, I'll call his mom
tonight, make sure she's there.
429
00:19:34,530 --> 00:19:38,142
Get this done, once and for all.
430
00:19:38,186 --> 00:19:41,058
Thank you.
431
00:19:48,109 --> 00:19:49,850
Counselors, if you're ready
to begin...
432
00:19:49,893 --> 00:19:52,896
Actually, Your Honor,
Mr. O'Leary and I
433
00:19:52,940 --> 00:19:55,682
have a bit of business
before you bring in the jury.
434
00:19:55,725 --> 00:19:57,727
Yes, Mr. O'Leary?
435
00:19:57,771 --> 00:20:00,948
Your Honor, the defendant,
Brendan McCandless,
436
00:20:00,991 --> 00:20:02,950
would like to change
his plea to guilty.
437
00:20:02,993 --> 00:20:06,431
And he also agreed to testify
on behalf of the prosecution
438
00:20:06,475 --> 00:20:08,651
against Connor McCandless.
439
00:20:08,695 --> 00:20:10,435
Order!
440
00:20:10,479 --> 00:20:11,959
Order in the court!
441
00:20:12,002 --> 00:20:13,351
Brendan?
442
00:20:14,831 --> 00:20:16,703
So, what exactly does this mean?
443
00:20:16,746 --> 00:20:18,879
It means your older son
is gonna lie
444
00:20:18,922 --> 00:20:21,621
and sacrifice Connor
to save himself.
445
00:20:24,770 --> 00:20:27,120
"Connor McCandless was the
architect of the judge's murder.
446
00:20:27,164 --> 00:20:29,470
"Connor McCandless drove
the getaway car.
447
00:20:29,514 --> 00:20:31,274
Connor McCandless provided
the murder weapon."
448
00:20:31,298 --> 00:20:34,649
Now, this... is a copy
of your brother's statement,
449
00:20:34,693 --> 00:20:36,956
and this is what he's gonna
say about you in court.
450
00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:39,654
He testifies against you,
and in exchange,
451
00:20:39,698 --> 00:20:42,048
the death penalty is
off the table.
452
00:20:43,876 --> 00:20:48,228
I have spent my whole life
being loyal to my brother.
453
00:20:48,272 --> 00:20:51,188
I know.
We all know.
454
00:20:51,231 --> 00:20:53,756
But there are times you just
have to look out for yourself.
455
00:20:53,799 --> 00:20:55,496
This is one of those times.
456
00:20:55,540 --> 00:20:58,543
Maybe he just doesn't
really understand.
457
00:20:58,586 --> 00:20:59,762
Could you talk to him?
458
00:20:59,805 --> 00:21:01,502
Make sure he knows
what he's doing.
459
00:21:01,546 --> 00:21:03,983
Connor, I promise you,
he knows what he's doing.
460
00:21:04,027 --> 00:21:05,700
I know this isn't gonna
make you feel any better,
461
00:21:05,724 --> 00:21:07,813
but a man will make a lot
of selfish decisions
462
00:21:07,857 --> 00:21:11,774
when facing the prospect of
death by lethal injection.
463
00:21:11,817 --> 00:21:14,864
And now, what happens
to his deal
464
00:21:14,907 --> 00:21:16,996
if I go up there
and I tell the truth?
465
00:21:17,040 --> 00:21:18,258
Well, if the court finds that
466
00:21:18,302 --> 00:21:21,131
Brendan's statement
was not truthful,
467
00:21:21,174 --> 00:21:22,915
then he will have
perjured himself.
468
00:21:22,959 --> 00:21:24,351
And that will negate
the plea deal.
469
00:21:24,395 --> 00:21:26,701
That would mean
470
00:21:26,745 --> 00:21:30,270
that the death penalty would
be back on the table for him.
471
00:21:30,314 --> 00:21:33,099
Look at me.
472
00:21:33,143 --> 00:21:34,797
There's nothing to think about.
473
00:21:34,840 --> 00:21:36,929
Your brother murdered a man.
474
00:21:36,973 --> 00:21:39,932
You did nothing
but try and stop him.
475
00:21:39,976 --> 00:21:42,500
Your whole life's been
about trying to help people.
476
00:21:42,543 --> 00:21:44,545
His life has been
about preying on them.
477
00:21:44,589 --> 00:21:46,112
Whose soul is it
478
00:21:46,156 --> 00:21:49,072
you think the Lord wants
to survive?
479
00:21:51,248 --> 00:21:53,598
Okay.
480
00:21:56,775 --> 00:21:58,124
You were right about her.
481
00:21:58,168 --> 00:21:59,647
She's a force, all right. Yeah,
482
00:21:59,691 --> 00:22:01,649
I still think we have
a problem, though.
483
00:22:01,693 --> 00:22:04,087
I mean, if I'm a juror,
and I'm looking at two kids
484
00:22:04,130 --> 00:22:07,264
named McCandless pointing
the finger at each other, I...
485
00:22:07,307 --> 00:22:09,266
I don't know if I believe either
one of them.
486
00:22:09,309 --> 00:22:11,398
Benny. Brendan McCandless
has a rap sheet
487
00:22:11,442 --> 00:22:13,618
longer than the New York State
Thruway, and Connor?
488
00:22:13,661 --> 00:22:15,228
He's clean as a whistle.
489
00:22:15,272 --> 00:22:19,711
Still. Wish we had someone
whose name wasn't McCandless
490
00:22:19,754 --> 00:22:22,975
to back up Connor's version
of what happened that night.
491
00:22:23,019 --> 00:22:24,759
Hmm.
492
00:22:24,803 --> 00:22:25,935
I just had a thought.
493
00:22:26,489 --> 00:22:29,013
Okay.
- So...
494
00:22:29,057 --> 00:22:30,948
I've been knocking on every door
of every apartment,
495
00:22:30,972 --> 00:22:33,366
brownstone, storefront
in the area,
496
00:22:33,409 --> 00:22:35,518
and I haven't found a single
witness who can corroborate
497
00:22:35,542 --> 00:22:37,520
Connor's story about his brother
forcing him to drive.
498
00:22:37,544 --> 00:22:39,459
Then I realized,
499
00:22:39,502 --> 00:22:43,114
all of this happened
at 7:00 at night. Dinnertime.
500
00:22:43,158 --> 00:22:45,682
There's lots of food
being delivered.
501
00:22:46,770 --> 00:22:49,556
Any way I can get you
to tap into
502
00:22:49,599 --> 00:22:51,775
the different
food delivery apps,
503
00:22:51,819 --> 00:22:53,908
and get me some names
of the delivery people
504
00:22:53,951 --> 00:22:56,084
that I can interview
who might be in the area?
505
00:22:56,127 --> 00:22:57,477
Legally?
506
00:23:05,354 --> 00:23:06,877
Sorry, we're not open.
507
00:23:06,921 --> 00:23:09,619
Ah, my name's Dr. Jason Bull.
I'm supposed to meet a friend?
508
00:23:09,663 --> 00:23:12,187
She's by the patio.
509
00:23:13,710 --> 00:23:15,320
Hey.
510
00:23:15,364 --> 00:23:16,974
Hi.
511
00:23:17,018 --> 00:23:19,150
Thanks for meeting me
before court. Well,
512
00:23:19,194 --> 00:23:21,326
I hope I didn't keep you
waiting too long.
513
00:23:21,370 --> 00:23:22,893
Never heard of this place.
514
00:23:22,937 --> 00:23:24,460
It's mine.
515
00:23:24,504 --> 00:23:26,462
Uh, my grandmother's, actually,
516
00:23:26,506 --> 00:23:29,291
but then it became mine.
517
00:23:29,334 --> 00:23:32,337
Only thing that I have
that's truly my own.
518
00:23:32,381 --> 00:23:33,948
Hmm.
519
00:23:33,991 --> 00:23:36,646
Only thing that has absolutely
nothing to do with Donovan.
520
00:23:36,690 --> 00:23:38,779
The only place I can come
521
00:23:38,822 --> 00:23:40,781
where nobody cares
who my husband is.
522
00:23:42,696 --> 00:23:44,698
Best Irish stew in the city,
if you're a fan.
523
00:23:44,741 --> 00:23:47,614
Well, I'll have
to keep that in mind.
524
00:23:53,837 --> 00:23:55,796
So tell me it's gonna
be all right.
525
00:23:55,839 --> 00:23:58,494
I can't.
526
00:23:58,538 --> 00:24:02,019
Connor will be a far more
credible witness than Brendan.
527
00:24:02,063 --> 00:24:03,519
But no matter what they say
about each other,
528
00:24:03,543 --> 00:24:05,632
Brendan pled guilty.
529
00:24:05,675 --> 00:24:08,635
And so, if we can't present
enough evidence
530
00:24:08,678 --> 00:24:11,812
to show that Connor wasn't
a willing participant,
531
00:24:11,855 --> 00:24:14,162
they will both go to prison.
532
00:24:14,205 --> 00:24:16,120
You think I'm a monster?
533
00:24:17,992 --> 00:24:19,733
Praying for one of my boys
to lose his life
534
00:24:19,776 --> 00:24:21,909
so the other can have one?
535
00:24:23,476 --> 00:24:26,827
I think you've seen enough to
know how Brendan's story ends.
536
00:24:26,870 --> 00:24:31,309
And Connor, well,
537
00:24:31,353 --> 00:24:34,443
his story hasn't
been written yet.
538
00:24:36,793 --> 00:24:39,492
And for what it's worth, I think
it takes a lot of courage
539
00:24:39,535 --> 00:24:42,495
to fight for the son
you cansave.
540
00:24:44,540 --> 00:24:47,761
You know, I tried
to save Brendan, too.
541
00:24:49,806 --> 00:24:51,460
He's so good with his hands.
542
00:24:53,331 --> 00:24:55,595
Always fixing things.
543
00:24:55,638 --> 00:24:59,381
I reached out to a cousin
in Ohio, a plane mechanic?
544
00:24:59,424 --> 00:25:01,731
I thought maybe, you know...
545
00:25:03,690 --> 00:25:07,563
Brendan couldn't bring himself
to walk away.
546
00:25:07,607 --> 00:25:12,307
Maybe he was afraid of what
his father would think or do.
547
00:25:12,350 --> 00:25:15,092
Or maybe it's just
who Brendan is.
548
00:25:17,530 --> 00:25:20,924
Who he's always been.
549
00:25:26,408 --> 00:25:29,542
So what if I took the stand?
550
00:25:29,585 --> 00:25:33,197
Put my hand on the Bible
and swore to God
551
00:25:33,241 --> 00:25:37,767
I was afraid of what Brendan
might do that night?
552
00:25:37,811 --> 00:25:42,772
Tell-tell the court how I made
Connor go stop Brendan?
553
00:25:42,816 --> 00:25:45,645
I'm sorry, Mrs. McCandless.
554
00:25:45,688 --> 00:25:48,169
I don't think
it'll make a difference.
555
00:25:48,212 --> 00:25:50,040
You weren't there
when the judge was killed.
556
00:25:50,084 --> 00:25:52,042
And you may have told Connor
to stop Brendan,
557
00:25:52,086 --> 00:25:55,437
but we can't prove
that Connor listened.
558
00:26:00,834 --> 00:26:02,792
So what do we do?
559
00:26:02,836 --> 00:26:05,969
We go to court. We fight.
560
00:26:06,013 --> 00:26:10,365
And in about an hour,
your son Brendan takes the stand
561
00:26:10,408 --> 00:26:12,367
and says whatever he's been
prompted to say,
562
00:26:12,410 --> 00:26:14,064
a pack of lies, I'm sure.
563
00:26:15,544 --> 00:26:17,328
And we put on
the best defense possible,
564
00:26:17,372 --> 00:26:20,375
ask the toughest questions.
565
00:26:20,418 --> 00:26:24,509
And put our faith
in the wisdom of juries.
566
00:26:33,910 --> 00:26:35,346
Ms. Vasquez, Mr. O'Leary,
567
00:26:35,390 --> 00:26:37,000
this court is not
568
00:26:37,044 --> 00:26:38,499
in the habit of waiting
for a witness,
569
00:26:38,523 --> 00:26:40,656
particularly when that witness
is the accused.
570
00:26:40,700 --> 00:26:43,050
Can either one of you
provide any clarity?
571
00:26:48,838 --> 00:26:50,231
I...
572
00:26:50,274 --> 00:26:52,494
To the best of my knowledge,
he's in the prison van
573
00:26:52,537 --> 00:26:53,800
on his way here, Your Honor.
574
00:26:58,761 --> 00:27:01,590
Think he got cold
feet about testifying?
575
00:27:01,634 --> 00:27:03,723
From your lips.
576
00:27:03,766 --> 00:27:05,289
Your Honor.
577
00:27:15,691 --> 00:27:17,331
Marshal, can you please clear
the gallery?
578
00:27:36,669 --> 00:27:39,280
I was just informed that
the government's next witness,
579
00:27:39,323 --> 00:27:41,717
Brendan McCandless, was murdered
580
00:27:41,761 --> 00:27:43,763
in the prison yard this morning.
581
00:27:49,263 --> 00:27:52,701
I know this is sort of
a tactless question,
582
00:27:52,745 --> 00:27:55,965
but is this good for our
side or bad for our side?
583
00:27:58,011 --> 00:28:01,014
In my opinion, it would've
been almost impossible
584
00:28:01,058 --> 00:28:03,756
to overcome Brendan's testimony.
585
00:28:03,799 --> 00:28:07,107
His death may have
actually saved our case.
586
00:28:07,151 --> 00:28:09,153
What do you say?
587
00:28:09,196 --> 00:28:10,545
The fact remains,
588
00:28:10,589 --> 00:28:12,219
a federal judge
was murdered in cold blood
589
00:28:12,243 --> 00:28:15,811
and that jury is gonna
want someone to pay.
590
00:28:15,855 --> 00:28:18,162
And now our client's
the only one left to do it.
591
00:28:20,555 --> 00:28:22,818
Bad time? Good time?
592
00:28:22,862 --> 00:28:23,819
What do you got?
593
00:28:23,863 --> 00:28:26,083
Well, I just back from Rikers.
594
00:28:26,126 --> 00:28:28,128
Turns out, the inmate
595
00:28:28,172 --> 00:28:32,219
who stabbed Brendan has a
reputation as a killer for hire.
596
00:28:33,525 --> 00:28:35,483
I think we all assumed as much.
597
00:28:35,527 --> 00:28:38,530
A McCandless is killed
in prison, it's probably a hit.
598
00:28:38,573 --> 00:28:42,708
But that's not all.
The killer grew up with Connor.
599
00:28:42,751 --> 00:28:45,189
Wait. Are you saying
that Connor...
600
00:28:45,232 --> 00:28:48,409
I'm not saying anything.
601
00:28:54,067 --> 00:28:55,373
Connor.
602
00:28:56,461 --> 00:28:58,854
It's me and Benny.
603
00:28:58,898 --> 00:29:00,682
We just wanted to let you know
604
00:29:00,726 --> 00:29:03,816
how badly we feel
about your brother.
605
00:29:03,859 --> 00:29:06,079
And you don't need
to get dressed.
606
00:29:06,123 --> 00:29:07,559
We've asked for a continuance.
607
00:29:07,602 --> 00:29:09,735
Oh, no. Can you undo it?
608
00:29:11,128 --> 00:29:13,008
I don't think I'm gonna
feel any better tomorrow
609
00:29:13,042 --> 00:29:14,609
than I'm gonna feel today.
610
00:29:14,653 --> 00:29:17,308
I don't think I'm ever
gonna feel any better.
611
00:29:17,351 --> 00:29:20,485
I really just want to get
612
00:29:20,528 --> 00:29:23,357
this over with, uh,
however it turns out.
613
00:29:23,401 --> 00:29:24,532
This continuance
614
00:29:24,576 --> 00:29:28,493
isn't really about how you feel.
615
00:29:28,536 --> 00:29:32,061
Your brother's killer.
We know you knew him.
616
00:29:32,105 --> 00:29:34,412
We know you know him.
617
00:29:34,455 --> 00:29:37,589
We went to Catholic school
together.
618
00:29:37,632 --> 00:29:40,809
I haven't seen him in, like,
I don't know, five years?
619
00:29:40,853 --> 00:29:42,681
And before that,
we weren't close.
620
00:29:42,724 --> 00:29:45,249
Maybe not since s-sixth grade.
621
00:29:45,292 --> 00:29:46,772
What are you implying?
622
00:29:46,815 --> 00:29:48,774
I'm not implying anything.
623
00:29:48,817 --> 00:29:50,360
I'm asking you the question
that's gonna be
624
00:29:50,384 --> 00:29:52,865
on everyone's mind when we walk
back into that courtroom.
625
00:29:52,908 --> 00:29:54,867
Did you have
your brother killed?
626
00:29:56,347 --> 00:29:58,958
Seriously? - Connor,
627
00:29:59,001 --> 00:30:00,960
it's our job to protect you.
628
00:30:01,003 --> 00:30:03,005
And to do that, we have to ask.
629
00:30:03,049 --> 00:30:06,835
No. God, no.
630
00:30:06,879 --> 00:30:08,533
He was my brother.
631
00:30:08,576 --> 00:30:10,230
I believe you.
632
00:30:10,274 --> 00:30:13,320
But we need to be mindful
of appearances.
633
00:30:13,364 --> 00:30:16,062
Less than 24 hours ago,
Brendan was killed,
634
00:30:16,105 --> 00:30:18,195
and we are about to walk
back into that courtroom
635
00:30:18,238 --> 00:30:20,893
with the one person
who could contradict
636
00:30:20,936 --> 00:30:24,984
your version of events
no longer able to do so.
637
00:30:25,027 --> 00:30:26,638
How do you think that looks?
638
00:30:26,681 --> 00:30:28,988
Yeah, but the jurors won't know.
639
00:30:30,903 --> 00:30:33,993
Jurors always promise not to
watch the news, read the paper
640
00:30:34,036 --> 00:30:35,864
or go on the Internet.
641
00:30:35,908 --> 00:30:37,344
But somehow, miraculously,
642
00:30:37,388 --> 00:30:39,999
they always know
what's going on in the world.
643
00:30:40,042 --> 00:30:43,263
And I can guarantee you they
will know about Brendan's death.
644
00:30:43,307 --> 00:30:46,048
In fact, I'm sure
they already do.
645
00:30:46,092 --> 00:30:47,963
And like it or not,
they're all gonna
646
00:30:48,007 --> 00:30:49,356
come to their own conclusions
647
00:30:49,400 --> 00:30:52,272
about who had the most to gain
by killing him.
648
00:30:54,927 --> 00:30:57,146
Let's let a couple days go by.
649
00:30:57,190 --> 00:31:00,019
I know you want this over with,
but who knows,
650
00:31:00,062 --> 00:31:02,587
maybe by the time
we're back in court,
651
00:31:02,630 --> 00:31:05,372
we'll find out who ordered
the hit on your brother,
652
00:31:05,416 --> 00:31:07,853
and none of this
will be an issue.
653
00:31:07,896 --> 00:31:10,856
Your Honor, the defense would like to call
654
00:31:10,899 --> 00:31:12,988
Yuri Pasternak to the stand.
655
00:31:14,033 --> 00:31:15,817
You found a witness?
656
00:31:15,861 --> 00:31:18,385
I didn't. My staff did.
657
00:31:18,429 --> 00:31:20,082
So Mr. Pasternak,
658
00:31:20,126 --> 00:31:23,129
will you please tell the court
what it is you do for a living?
659
00:31:23,172 --> 00:31:25,566
I deliver food.
Food from restaurants.
660
00:31:25,610 --> 00:31:27,786
People order it on an app
on their phones,
661
00:31:27,829 --> 00:31:29,396
and I bring it to them.
662
00:31:29,440 --> 00:31:32,138
And on the night that
Judge Stanley's throat was slit,
663
00:31:32,181 --> 00:31:33,574
you were there.
664
00:31:33,618 --> 00:31:35,359
You were making a delivery?
665
00:31:35,402 --> 00:31:38,275
Yeah. I just finished
dropping off some vegan food
666
00:31:38,318 --> 00:31:40,407
to an apartment down the street.
667
00:31:40,451 --> 00:31:42,844
Vegan? You remember that.
668
00:31:42,888 --> 00:31:45,673
Uh, you always remember
the bad tippers.
669
00:31:45,717 --> 00:31:46,892
Ah.
- Plus,
670
00:31:46,935 --> 00:31:48,850
all the stuff
that happened after.
671
00:31:48,894 --> 00:31:51,288
And can you tell us
what happened after?
672
00:31:51,331 --> 00:31:55,596
After I dropped off the food,
I was walking back to my bike,
673
00:31:55,640 --> 00:31:59,600
and I could see this guy running
with a mask on his face.
674
00:31:59,644 --> 00:32:01,123
Uh, he was running
675
00:32:01,167 --> 00:32:03,125
towards the silver car.
676
00:32:03,169 --> 00:32:05,519
And at the same time,
I could hear some guy scream,
677
00:32:05,563 --> 00:32:06,868
like he'd been hurt.
678
00:32:06,912 --> 00:32:08,435
But you couldn't see him.
679
00:32:08,479 --> 00:32:11,003
Not from where I was,
but I could see the guy
680
00:32:11,046 --> 00:32:14,223
that was running towards
the silver car take his mask off
681
00:32:14,267 --> 00:32:16,791
and open the door and jump in,
and in a second,
682
00:32:16,835 --> 00:32:19,185
they sped past me
and down the street.
683
00:32:19,228 --> 00:32:22,319
And how close were you
to the car when it passed you?
684
00:32:24,364 --> 00:32:26,148
Probably as close
as I am to you.
685
00:32:26,192 --> 00:32:28,629
About 12 feet away?
Yeah, that sounds right.
686
00:32:28,673 --> 00:32:30,762
And could you see anything
687
00:32:30,805 --> 00:32:32,459
inside the vehicle
when it passed you?
688
00:32:32,503 --> 00:32:35,201
Yeah. I could see
the running guy
689
00:32:35,244 --> 00:32:37,682
holding a gun
to the driver's head.
690
00:32:37,725 --> 00:32:39,336
To that guy's head.
691
00:32:43,078 --> 00:32:44,404
Tell me what you're
seeing, Marissa.
692
00:32:44,428 --> 00:32:46,647
Well, I'm not seeing much, Bull.
693
00:32:46,691 --> 00:32:50,651
What're you talking about?
How many did we win?
694
00:32:50,695 --> 00:32:52,174
We didn't win any.
695
00:32:52,218 --> 00:32:53,828
And the few that we had,
696
00:32:53,872 --> 00:32:55,700
they just went away.
697
00:32:55,743 --> 00:32:59,007
We lost them.
We've lost them all.
698
00:32:59,051 --> 00:33:01,314
We even found an eyewitness.
699
00:33:01,358 --> 00:33:04,796
A man who actually saw Brendan
put a gun to Connor's head,
700
00:33:04,839 --> 00:33:06,667
but it doesn't matter.
701
00:33:06,711 --> 00:33:08,887
The damage is done.
702
00:33:08,930 --> 00:33:11,019
The jury is convinced that,
703
00:33:11,063 --> 00:33:12,804
not only did he
help kill the judge,
704
00:33:12,847 --> 00:33:15,067
but he had a hand
in killing his own brother.
705
00:33:15,110 --> 00:33:18,723
It's because they
don't know Connor.
706
00:33:18,766 --> 00:33:21,334
It's just not in him.
707
00:33:21,378 --> 00:33:24,685
If you're gonna drive
a killer's getaway car,
708
00:33:24,729 --> 00:33:27,427
if you're gonna
order a hit on someone,
709
00:33:27,471 --> 00:33:30,212
you got to be wired
in a certain way.
710
00:33:30,256 --> 00:33:32,301
It's not about your last name.
711
00:33:32,345 --> 00:33:36,044
Are you wired to do it?
712
00:33:36,088 --> 00:33:38,960
And very few people
have that kind of wiring.
713
00:33:39,004 --> 00:33:42,573
I know. Very few.
714
00:33:42,616 --> 00:33:44,009
Precious few.
715
00:33:45,750 --> 00:33:47,404
Anyone spring to mind?
716
00:33:50,450 --> 00:33:53,322
You think it was me?
717
00:33:53,366 --> 00:33:55,499
That I killed my own child?
718
00:33:59,503 --> 00:34:01,200
Why would I do that?
719
00:34:01,243 --> 00:34:04,072
He betrayed your family.
720
00:34:04,116 --> 00:34:07,249
Turned state's evidence
on his own brother.
721
00:34:07,293 --> 00:34:10,905
I've always heard that people
in your line of work
722
00:34:10,949 --> 00:34:13,081
take enormous exception
to things like that.
723
00:34:18,870 --> 00:34:22,090
It made me sad,
724
00:34:22,134 --> 00:34:24,092
not vengeful.
725
00:34:24,136 --> 00:34:27,400
And his death...
726
00:34:27,444 --> 00:34:30,447
his death means that
everything I've built,
727
00:34:30,490 --> 00:34:33,362
everything I've fought for,
728
00:34:33,406 --> 00:34:35,408
I did for nothing.
729
00:34:37,802 --> 00:34:40,282
Who's gonna run it?
730
00:34:40,326 --> 00:34:43,242
Who's gonna watch over it?
My wife?
731
00:34:43,285 --> 00:34:45,549
Connor?
732
00:34:47,594 --> 00:34:49,901
Why would I kill
733
00:34:49,944 --> 00:34:51,946
the only person...
734
00:34:54,340 --> 00:34:55,907
with any interest
735
00:34:55,950 --> 00:34:58,518
in keeping my name alive?
736
00:35:00,825 --> 00:35:02,957
You're right.
737
00:35:03,001 --> 00:35:05,394
It makes no sense.
738
00:35:07,832 --> 00:35:10,138
It's okay.
739
00:35:10,182 --> 00:35:12,489
I'm making my peace with it,
740
00:35:12,532 --> 00:35:15,100
all of it.
741
00:35:15,143 --> 00:35:17,972
I'll probably spend the rest of
my life behind bars,
742
00:35:18,016 --> 00:35:19,800
and my name,
743
00:35:19,844 --> 00:35:22,411
the McCandless name,
744
00:35:22,455 --> 00:35:24,457
and everything it meant...
745
00:35:27,852 --> 00:35:30,376
will soon be forgotten.
746
00:35:33,422 --> 00:35:35,990
You know, that doesn't
have to be the case.
747
00:35:36,034 --> 00:35:37,383
You still have a son.
748
00:35:39,603 --> 00:35:41,953
And believe it or not,
I think there is something
749
00:35:41,996 --> 00:35:45,391
you can do to save
your legacy, your name.
750
00:35:47,306 --> 00:35:49,221
Save your blood.
751
00:35:56,271 --> 00:35:58,230
I loved my sons,
752
00:35:58,273 --> 00:35:59,666
both my sons,
753
00:35:59,710 --> 00:36:02,539
but Brendan...
I'd look in his eyes,
754
00:36:02,582 --> 00:36:05,193
I'd see myself.
755
00:36:05,237 --> 00:36:09,371
I'd hear his thoughts,
I'd hear myself.
756
00:36:09,415 --> 00:36:11,896
I loved that boy
more than anything,
757
00:36:11,939 --> 00:36:14,202
and he loved me.
758
00:36:14,246 --> 00:36:15,856
He'd do anything for me.
759
00:36:15,900 --> 00:36:19,817
The death of Judge Stanley
caused a mistrial
760
00:36:19,860 --> 00:36:21,645
in your own criminal case,
didn't it?
761
00:36:21,688 --> 00:36:24,517
Yes, it did.
762
00:36:24,561 --> 00:36:28,956
Would it be fair to say that
no one has benefited more
763
00:36:29,000 --> 00:36:30,479
from the judge's death than you?
764
00:36:30,523 --> 00:36:33,961
It was certainly fortuitous.
765
00:36:34,005 --> 00:36:36,660
Mr. McCandless,
766
00:36:36,703 --> 00:36:40,577
did you order the murder
of Judge Weston Stanley?
767
00:36:44,842 --> 00:36:46,713
I never said the words,
768
00:36:46,757 --> 00:36:49,716
but as I mentioned before,
we understood each other.
769
00:36:49,760 --> 00:36:52,066
The two of us knew
what the other wanted.
770
00:36:52,110 --> 00:36:54,721
Needed.
771
00:36:54,765 --> 00:36:58,072
He did what I needed him to do.
772
00:37:00,509 --> 00:37:03,295
Now I realize
773
00:37:01,879 --> 00:37:04,491
you didn't directly
tell him to do this,
774
00:37:04,534 --> 00:37:06,928
but at some point, did he
775
00:37:06,971 --> 00:37:08,669
communicate
his intentions to you?
776
00:37:08,712 --> 00:37:10,801
Did he share his plans with you?
777
00:37:10,845 --> 00:37:13,413
He would speak, I would listen,
778
00:37:13,456 --> 00:37:16,155
but I never told him what to do.
779
00:37:16,198 --> 00:37:18,809
It wasn't a conversation.
780
00:37:18,853 --> 00:37:22,204
He would talk,
781
00:37:22,248 --> 00:37:24,511
I would listen
to what he had to say.
782
00:37:24,554 --> 00:37:26,991
And when you were listening,
783
00:37:27,035 --> 00:37:28,732
did he ever mention Connor?
784
00:37:28,776 --> 00:37:30,473
Was he ever in the plans?
785
00:37:32,519 --> 00:37:34,477
Your children,
786
00:37:34,521 --> 00:37:36,740
they each get different parts.
787
00:37:36,784 --> 00:37:40,048
Different parts of you,
different parts of their mother.
788
00:37:40,091 --> 00:37:43,704
Connor...
789
00:37:43,747 --> 00:37:46,097
And I say this with love...
790
00:37:46,141 --> 00:37:48,839
Got all the best parts
of his mother,
791
00:37:48,883 --> 00:37:52,016
Objection.
792
00:37:52,060 --> 00:37:54,845
Can the witness please
just answer the question?
793
00:37:54,889 --> 00:37:57,761
Sustained. Witness
will answer the question.
794
00:37:57,805 --> 00:37:59,894
No.
795
00:37:59,937 --> 00:38:02,853
Connor was never
part of Brendan's plan.
796
00:38:02,897 --> 00:38:04,681
He never would be.
797
00:38:04,725 --> 00:38:07,162
Boy doesn't have a violent bone
in his body.
798
00:38:07,206 --> 00:38:09,773
He has no appetite for it,
799
00:38:09,817 --> 00:38:12,472
no appetite for mayhem
800
00:38:12,515 --> 00:38:15,083
of any kind.
801
00:38:15,126 --> 00:38:16,954
Bothered me for a long time.
802
00:38:19,000 --> 00:38:20,393
Now...
803
00:38:22,438 --> 00:38:26,268
He's studying to be a doctor.
804
00:38:26,312 --> 00:38:28,575
Makes me very proud.
805
00:38:28,618 --> 00:38:32,535
Baffles me,
but makes me very proud.
806
00:38:32,579 --> 00:38:35,843
And what about the
death of your son Brendan?
807
00:38:35,886 --> 00:38:39,368
The son you said you
understood the best.
808
00:38:39,412 --> 00:38:42,328
Any chance Connor might've
been involved in that?
809
00:38:42,371 --> 00:38:45,548
Objection!
Calls for speculation.
810
00:38:45,592 --> 00:38:48,116
My apologies, Your Honor.
I withdraw the question.
811
00:38:48,159 --> 00:38:50,553
Connor loved his brother.
812
00:38:50,597 --> 00:38:52,512
The witness
will refrain from answering.
813
00:38:52,555 --> 00:38:54,905
The prosecution's objection
has been sustained.
814
00:38:54,949 --> 00:38:58,126
That boy wouldn't kill a roach.
That boy couldn't kill a roach.
815
00:38:58,169 --> 00:39:00,084
This is my
final warning, Mr. McCandless.
816
00:39:00,128 --> 00:39:01,975
If you utter another word,
I will have you removed
817
00:39:01,999 --> 00:39:05,046
from this courtroom. The kid loved
his brother almost as much as I did.
818
00:39:05,089 --> 00:39:07,353
Marshal, I want this witness
removed from the courtroom
819
00:39:07,396 --> 00:39:08,789
and taken back to his cell.
820
00:39:12,749 --> 00:39:14,751
I don't know who killed Brendan,
821
00:39:14,795 --> 00:39:16,362
but it sure as hell
wasn't Connor.
822
00:39:16,405 --> 00:39:17,624
The jury will disregard
823
00:39:17,667 --> 00:39:19,103
this witness's testimony.
824
00:39:19,147 --> 00:39:21,367
And all of the witness's
testimony is hereby
825
00:39:21,410 --> 00:39:22,716
stricken from the record.
826
00:39:28,112 --> 00:39:30,289
In the matter of
The United States
827
00:39:30,332 --> 00:39:32,987
v. Connor McCandless,
we, the jury,
828
00:39:33,030 --> 00:39:34,815
find the defendant
829
00:39:34,858 --> 00:39:36,120
not guilty.
830
00:39:47,480 --> 00:39:49,003
I can't believe this.
831
00:39:49,046 --> 00:39:50,396
Believe it.
832
00:39:52,398 --> 00:39:55,009
Now go live your life.
833
00:40:13,723 --> 00:40:15,682
Dr. Bull?
834
00:40:15,725 --> 00:40:17,684
To what do I owe the pleasure?
835
00:40:19,163 --> 00:40:21,688
Your husband got it wrong on the
stand the other day, didn't he?
836
00:40:23,385 --> 00:40:25,561
Connor didn't get
the best parts of you,
837
00:40:25,605 --> 00:40:28,608
he didn't get
the best parts of him.
838
00:40:28,651 --> 00:40:30,523
He's very much his own man.
839
00:40:30,566 --> 00:40:33,787
I'm not sure I'm following you.
840
00:40:33,830 --> 00:40:37,007
From the beginning,
I told anyone who would listen,
841
00:40:37,051 --> 00:40:38,835
you're a force.
842
00:40:38,879 --> 00:40:41,055
And I was right.
843
00:40:41,098 --> 00:40:44,363
It was you that had Brendan
killed, wasn't it?
844
00:40:44,406 --> 00:40:47,366
I have no idea what
you're talking about.
845
00:40:47,409 --> 00:40:49,672
Ah.
846
00:40:49,716 --> 00:40:51,935
What I do know...
847
00:40:51,979 --> 00:40:54,851
is that Connor's
a very special boy.
848
00:40:54,895 --> 00:40:56,418
He's not like his father,
849
00:40:56,462 --> 00:40:59,160
not like his brother.
850
00:40:59,203 --> 00:41:00,683
You know, when I first sent him
851
00:41:00,727 --> 00:41:03,207
to stop Brendan
from killing that judge,
852
00:41:03,251 --> 00:41:05,862
it was because
I was sure my husband
853
00:41:05,906 --> 00:41:08,430
was about to go
to prison for life,
854
00:41:08,474 --> 00:41:12,347
and that would've been the
answer to so many of my prayers.
855
00:41:12,391 --> 00:41:14,523
But sometimes
856
00:41:14,567 --> 00:41:18,048
things don't work out
the way you plan.
857
00:41:18,092 --> 00:41:19,833
They just don't.
858
00:41:19,876 --> 00:41:22,226
The key is to have faith,
859
00:41:22,270 --> 00:41:26,056
to persevere.
860
00:41:26,100 --> 00:41:27,841
What was the crossword clue
861
00:41:27,884 --> 00:41:29,451
I couldn't get
the day we first met?
862
00:41:29,495 --> 00:41:30,800
The one you helped me with?
863
00:41:30,844 --> 00:41:34,064
It was a-a ten letter word
864
00:41:34,108 --> 00:41:36,458
for the guardianship and control
865
00:41:36,502 --> 00:41:39,766
exercised by the Lord our God.
866
00:41:39,809 --> 00:41:41,463
Providence.
867
00:41:41,507 --> 00:41:45,032
Providence.
868
00:41:45,075 --> 00:41:49,253
We have to have faith
in providence,
869
00:41:49,297 --> 00:41:52,387
even if it costs us our husband,
870
00:41:52,431 --> 00:41:54,824
even if it costs us
our firstborn.
871
00:41:54,868 --> 00:41:57,087
By the way,
872
00:41:57,131 --> 00:41:58,959
I signed your check yesterday.
873
00:41:59,002 --> 00:42:01,570
I'm sure you'll see it
in the next day or two.
874
00:42:01,614 --> 00:42:03,746
Who knows,
875
00:42:03,790 --> 00:42:06,445
perhaps we'll have
the opportunity
876
00:42:06,488 --> 00:42:08,925
to work together again
at some point.
877
00:42:08,969 --> 00:42:11,754
I strongly doubt that.
