Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:01,334 --> 00:00:04,428
In the criminal justice
system, the people are represented
2
00:00:04,471 --> 00:00:07,031
by two separate yet
equally important groups...
3
00:00:07,073 --> 00:00:08,938
the police
who investigate crime
4
00:00:08,975 --> 00:00:11,944
and the district attorneys
who prosecute the offenders.
5
00:00:11,978 --> 00:00:14,276
These are their stories.
6
00:00:52,052 --> 00:00:54,020
Next stop, 14th Street.
7
00:00:54,054 --> 00:00:55,681
Change for the uptown local.
8
00:02:07,327 --> 00:02:10,091
Next stop, 23rd Street.
9
00:02:20,507 --> 00:02:21,974
Let me through!
10
00:02:25,044 --> 00:02:26,978
Out of the way!
Come on!
11
00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:35,753
Come on, come on!
12
00:02:48,034 --> 00:02:51,162
Station 45? we have a
shooting in car number seven.
13
00:04:21,394 --> 00:04:23,328
I heard there was two.
14
00:04:23,363 --> 00:04:25,126
One's still down there.
15
00:04:25,164 --> 00:04:28,156
They got two detectives
coming down right now.
16
00:04:32,171 --> 00:04:34,036
How you doing, fellas?
17
00:04:41,748 --> 00:04:43,579
Where are we going, Joe?
18
00:04:43,616 --> 00:04:45,106
He's right over there.
19
00:04:50,189 --> 00:04:52,214
Looks like we're in here.
20
00:04:59,832 --> 00:05:01,697
How's this one?
21
00:05:01,734 --> 00:05:04,430
He's okay. Guy doesn't
look so good to me.
22
00:05:04,470 --> 00:05:06,529
You're right,
he'd look better dead...
23
00:05:06,572 --> 00:05:09,268
one less jerk
with a screwdriver.
24
00:05:09,309 --> 00:05:12,107
You see the shooter?
25
00:05:12,145 --> 00:05:14,079
I did.
26
00:05:14,113 --> 00:05:16,081
Could you describe him for me?
27
00:05:16,115 --> 00:05:17,275
Her.
28
00:05:17,317 --> 00:05:19,148
Her?
29
00:05:19,185 --> 00:05:21,483
What did she look like?
30
00:05:21,521 --> 00:05:23,853
A ballerina.
31
00:05:23,890 --> 00:05:25,380
A ballerina?
32
00:05:25,425 --> 00:05:27,290
Oh, yeah.
33
00:05:28,828 --> 00:05:30,853
Talk about
your "nutcracker," huh?
34
00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:41,807
You Jones?
35
00:05:43,042 --> 00:05:45,135
How you feeling?
36
00:05:45,178 --> 00:05:46,941
I didn't do nothing.
37
00:05:46,979 --> 00:05:50,176
Of course you didn't, Michael
- You're a newborn babe.
38
00:05:50,216 --> 00:05:53,242
What you want with me?
Your speedy recovery,
39
00:05:53,286 --> 00:05:55,516
so you might have
a happy productive life.
40
00:05:55,555 --> 00:05:57,682
Actually...
41
00:05:58,691 --> 00:06:00,818
we're on your side, Michael.
42
00:06:00,860 --> 00:06:03,055
Why'd she shoot you?
43
00:06:03,096 --> 00:06:05,223
I don't know, man.
44
00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:10,028
The chick must be going
crazy or something.
45
00:06:10,069 --> 00:06:12,401
What did Darnell do, then?
46
00:06:12,438 --> 00:06:13,769
Nothing.
47
00:06:13,806 --> 00:06:15,706
Nothing?
48
00:06:15,742 --> 00:06:17,903
We heard he was coming
onto her pretty strong.
49
00:06:17,944 --> 00:06:20,811
Whoever told you that is lying.
50
00:06:20,847 --> 00:06:23,475
My partner asked her
for some apple...
51
00:06:23,516 --> 00:06:25,746
and she shot him.
52
00:06:25,785 --> 00:06:26,979
It's that simple.
53
00:06:27,019 --> 00:06:29,647
Asked, or demanded?
54
00:06:29,689 --> 00:06:31,657
Asked.
55
00:06:31,691 --> 00:06:34,489
Besides, why'd she
shoot me, huh?
56
00:06:34,527 --> 00:06:36,825
I didn't do
a damn thing to her.
57
00:06:36,863 --> 00:06:39,957
I was just sitting down
doing nothing, man.
58
00:06:42,502 --> 00:06:45,733
Listen, Michael,
now listen real good.
59
00:06:45,772 --> 00:06:49,538
If the lady popped you two
'cause you were "mau-mauing" her,
60
00:06:49,575 --> 00:06:51,600
and they put her on trial,
61
00:06:51,644 --> 00:06:53,236
I'll testify for her.
62
00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:55,144
But if you're telling
the truth...
63
00:06:55,181 --> 00:06:57,672
if you're telling the truth
I'll haul her into that court
64
00:06:57,717 --> 00:07:00,311
and nail her
for attempted murder.
65
00:07:00,353 --> 00:07:03,550
I am telling the truth.
66
00:07:04,791 --> 00:07:08,090
Like I got a real
good chance of proving it.
67
00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:16,800
Got a bleeder here.
Hemostat. Here you go.
68
00:07:16,836 --> 00:07:18,701
Tie him off. Come on,
come on. Get the lead out.
69
00:07:18,738 --> 00:07:19,966
What's the hurry?
70
00:07:20,006 --> 00:07:22,099
This guy won't be
running a marathon.
71
00:07:22,141 --> 00:07:24,006
Can you see all right?
72
00:07:25,945 --> 00:07:27,003
Wrap it up.
73
00:07:32,985 --> 00:07:34,509
You recover a slug?
74
00:07:34,554 --> 00:07:37,853
Two. One in the subway,
one in Chenault's lower back.
75
00:07:37,890 --> 00:07:40,358
That's a start.
Any leads on the gunman?
76
00:07:40,393 --> 00:07:41,826
Gunwoman.
77
00:07:43,029 --> 00:07:44,860
Gunperson.
78
00:07:44,897 --> 00:07:46,364
A lot of phone calls.
79
00:07:46,399 --> 00:07:47,866
Uh-huh. who from?
80
00:07:47,900 --> 00:07:50,391
Bunch of psycho sisters.
Each one...
81
00:07:50,436 --> 00:07:52,063
claiming to be
the "Avenging Angel."
82
00:07:52,104 --> 00:07:53,969
Oh great, that is great.
83
00:07:54,006 --> 00:07:56,702
Who's calling her that?
It's already on the radio.
84
00:07:56,742 --> 00:07:58,710
Why do you think we're
getting all these volunteers?
85
00:07:58,744 --> 00:08:00,211
Maybe they can relate to her.
86
00:08:00,246 --> 00:08:02,510
They'd like to peddle their
life story to the highest bidder.
87
00:08:02,548 --> 00:08:04,311
I don't want the press
going into a feeding frenzy.
88
00:08:04,350 --> 00:08:08,184
You mean, like, "Babe
Drop dead"?
89
00:08:08,221 --> 00:08:09,552
Maybe we should deputize her.
90
00:08:09,589 --> 00:08:11,352
Just find her.
91
00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:15,757
- Positive
- He was grinding himself
92
00:08:15,795 --> 00:08:17,285
right in that woman's face.
93
00:08:17,330 --> 00:08:19,321
What about the other
one? He was just as bad,
94
00:08:19,365 --> 00:08:21,925
but I kept my attention on
the one who was pushing on her.
95
00:08:21,968 --> 00:08:24,937
Are you willing to testify in
court to what you've told us?
96
00:08:24,971 --> 00:08:26,734
Of course.
97
00:08:26,772 --> 00:08:30,435
A lot of people develop
short-term memory loss these days.
98
00:08:30,476 --> 00:08:32,205
I'm not afraid
of punks like that.
99
00:08:32,245 --> 00:08:34,611
I dealt with worse
when I taught fifth grade.
100
00:08:34,647 --> 00:08:36,808
Mrs. Hastings,
101
00:08:38,518 --> 00:08:39,951
the woman who did the shooting,
102
00:08:39,986 --> 00:08:42,147
she's the one
that we're looking for.
103
00:08:42,188 --> 00:08:44,418
Well, you shouldn't be.
When you find her
104
00:08:44,457 --> 00:08:46,652
I hope she gets a medal.
105
00:08:49,295 --> 00:08:53,197
"Midtown Dance Club."
I think that's what it was.
106
00:08:53,232 --> 00:08:55,564
"Manhattan."
107
00:08:55,601 --> 00:08:57,592
You have good eyes. You
got to pay attention...
108
00:08:57,637 --> 00:09:00,128
Chaz- That's how come
I seen the ice pick.
109
00:09:00,172 --> 00:09:02,436
Ice pick?
What ice pick?
110
00:09:02,475 --> 00:09:04,636
The one with the Yankees cap.
111
00:09:04,677 --> 00:09:06,474
Look, I'm a Mets fan,
I hate the Yankees,
112
00:09:06,512 --> 00:09:09,140
and he's waving an ice pick.
I'm thinking, "what's this for?
113
00:09:09,181 --> 00:09:11,615
It's all automatic
ice cubes now."
114
00:09:11,651 --> 00:09:13,676
we heard it was a screwdriver.
115
00:09:13,719 --> 00:09:16,916
I seen what I seen.
116
00:09:18,958 --> 00:09:22,052
You really think we like
these two dirtbags?
117
00:09:22,094 --> 00:09:23,493
So what's your problem?
118
00:09:23,529 --> 00:09:26,828
Shooting people you don't like
is a big problem.
119
00:09:26,866 --> 00:09:29,096
Unless you're
defending your own self.
120
00:09:29,135 --> 00:09:32,400
Are you saying it was
self-defense? I seen what I seen.
121
00:09:37,543 --> 00:09:40,740
Why do I get the feeling
we're on the wrong side here?
122
00:09:40,780 --> 00:09:42,441
'Cause you're thinking
like a civilian.
123
00:09:42,481 --> 00:09:45,075
Oh yeah, right.
I should've known better.
124
00:09:45,117 --> 00:09:46,550
Hey, don't worry, Max,
125
00:09:46,586 --> 00:09:48,747
next time I'll be
a good little German.
126
00:09:48,788 --> 00:09:50,688
You got a wise mouth.
127
00:09:50,723 --> 00:09:51,985
Oh yeah?
Yeah.
128
00:09:52,024 --> 00:09:54,754
What, you want every fruitcake
on the BMT packing six on his hip?
129
00:09:54,794 --> 00:09:56,762
'Course I don't want that,
I just think those...
130
00:09:56,796 --> 00:09:58,229
Don't think!
131
00:09:58,264 --> 00:10:00,129
The city ain't
a free-fire zone.
132
00:10:02,168 --> 00:10:03,601
Gimme a...
133
00:10:03,636 --> 00:10:05,763
turn, turn,
134
00:10:05,805 --> 00:10:08,137
and port de bras.
135
00:10:09,442 --> 00:10:11,637
Okay, let's take five.
136
00:10:13,045 --> 00:10:14,842
Miss Putterman?
Mm-hmm.
137
00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:16,871
I'm Detective Logan.
I called you before.
138
00:10:16,916 --> 00:10:19,350
Yes, I told you, it
sounds like Laura di Biasi.
139
00:10:19,385 --> 00:10:20,511
You got her address?
140
00:10:20,553 --> 00:10:23,044
What do I look like,
a phone book?
141
00:10:23,089 --> 00:10:24,750
In Manhattan.
142
00:10:24,790 --> 00:10:27,224
Okay, everybody,
let's take it again.
143
00:10:27,259 --> 00:10:29,693
Yes, I am aware...
144
00:10:29,729 --> 00:10:31,788
okay, I'm aware it's unlisted.
145
00:10:31,831 --> 00:10:34,800
I told you for the 1 Oth time,
I'm a police officer.
146
00:10:34,834 --> 00:10:37,268
Let's get this straight-
Detective Mike Logan,
147
00:10:37,303 --> 00:10:39,430
Badge number nine...
148
00:10:39,472 --> 00:10:41,963
warrant, huh? warrant
this, lady, all right?
149
00:10:42,008 --> 00:10:44,238
I need a warrant, it's
going to take me three hours.
150
00:10:44,276 --> 00:10:46,301
Now you listen to me.
You listen to me!
151
00:10:47,713 --> 00:10:49,943
Hold on.
152
00:10:52,084 --> 00:10:55,781
Hi. To whom am I speaking, please?
153
00:10:57,823 --> 00:10:59,916
Hello, Miss Schweder,
154
00:10:59,959 --> 00:11:02,018
this is Sergeant Greevey.
155
00:11:02,061 --> 00:11:04,529
Could you connect me with
your central office supervisor?
156
00:11:04,563 --> 00:11:06,588
Maybe we can straighten
some of this out.
157
00:11:08,234 --> 00:11:10,429
Thank you so much.
158
00:11:10,469 --> 00:11:12,767
Chenault's got
priors up the ying-yang.
159
00:11:12,805 --> 00:11:15,273
Nothing on Jones.
Nothing?
160
00:11:15,307 --> 00:11:19,038
Computer came up with 12
felons named "Michael Jones,"
161
00:11:19,078 --> 00:11:21,444
"Michael J.,
Michael Ray"...
162
00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:23,539
"Michael T."
163
00:11:23,582 --> 00:11:25,709
I hate walk-ups.
164
00:11:25,751 --> 00:11:27,548
No positive make on our own
165
00:11:27,586 --> 00:11:29,986
"Michael
no-middle-initial Jones."
166
00:11:30,022 --> 00:11:32,115
Zippo.
167
00:11:32,158 --> 00:11:34,524
Nobody home...
168
00:11:34,560 --> 00:11:36,289
down the stairs.
169
00:11:39,665 --> 00:11:41,656
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
170
00:11:46,038 --> 00:11:48,529
Ahem!
Oh!
171
00:11:48,574 --> 00:11:51,168
Excuse me. It's all right,
ma'am. we're the police.
172
00:11:51,210 --> 00:11:53,644
Do you knowwhere the lady
who lives there is?
173
00:11:53,679 --> 00:11:55,579
Miss di Biasi?
174
00:11:55,614 --> 00:11:57,741
She works
at Murray Hill Hospital.
175
00:11:57,783 --> 00:11:59,444
I'm the Chief
Administrator in this place,
176
00:11:59,485 --> 00:12:00,850
and I've told you twice...
177
00:12:00,886 --> 00:12:03,582
You don't discuss personnel.
178
00:12:03,622 --> 00:12:06,648
I'm telling you, I'm not
interested in a discussion!
179
00:12:06,692 --> 00:12:08,990
I want to know where she is!
180
00:12:14,333 --> 00:12:16,392
She's working in Radiology.
181
00:12:18,671 --> 00:12:20,263
Miss di Biasi?
182
00:12:20,306 --> 00:12:23,139
Sergeant Greevey,
Detective Logan.
183
00:12:23,175 --> 00:12:25,507
We'd like to ask you
a few questions.
184
00:12:27,012 --> 00:12:30,277
Yeah, I imagine you would.
185
00:12:31,851 --> 00:12:33,182
I felt threatened.
186
00:12:33,219 --> 00:12:35,710
It's a threatening city.
187
00:12:35,755 --> 00:12:38,690
I felt I had to defend
myself. Is that a crime?
188
00:12:38,724 --> 00:12:40,521
That's what we're
trying to determine.
189
00:12:40,559 --> 00:12:43,289
Why'd you run?
190
00:12:43,329 --> 00:12:45,388
Because I was freaked out.
191
00:12:45,431 --> 00:12:47,865
Okay, we can appreciate that,
192
00:12:49,101 --> 00:12:50,830
but where'd you get the gun?
193
00:12:50,870 --> 00:12:52,735
Somebody gave it to Boyfriend?
194
00:12:52,772 --> 00:12:55,468
Somebody. I don't
know, it was years ago.
195
00:12:55,508 --> 00:12:57,499
Meaning it's probably
unlicensed.
196
00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:04,210
Okay...
197
00:13:04,250 --> 00:13:05,615
what did you do with it?
198
00:13:05,651 --> 00:13:07,778
I guess I threw it. "Guess"?
199
00:13:07,820 --> 00:13:10,288
I dropped it down
there. In the subway?
200
00:13:10,322 --> 00:13:11,949
Yeah.
201
00:13:11,991 --> 00:13:15,518
Listen, are you sure you
don't want to call your lawyer?
202
00:13:15,561 --> 00:13:17,392
My lawyer?
203
00:13:17,429 --> 00:13:20,762
Do I look like I could afford
to have a personal lawyer?
204
00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:23,997
Anyway, I don't need one.
I haven't done anything wrong.
205
00:13:24,036 --> 00:13:26,061
I wouldn't count on that.
206
00:13:33,078 --> 00:13:36,707
Are you arresting me?
207
00:13:39,185 --> 00:13:41,483
Not at the present time.
208
00:13:41,520 --> 00:13:43,852
But if we do arrest you,
209
00:13:43,889 --> 00:13:47,086
a lawyer will be
provided for you at no cost.
210
00:13:55,100 --> 00:13:57,125
Why are we busting her chops?
211
00:13:57,169 --> 00:13:58,397
That the way you see it?
212
00:13:58,437 --> 00:14:00,234
Two kids jump her
on the subway,
213
00:14:00,272 --> 00:14:02,206
she defends herself, okay?
214
00:14:02,241 --> 00:14:03,708
We're not talking
about "Squeaky" Fromme here.
215
00:14:03,742 --> 00:14:05,539
We don't know that. we don't?
216
00:14:05,578 --> 00:14:08,570
Look, she did the shooting,
that makes her the perp.
217
00:14:08,614 --> 00:14:10,514
That's all I know.
218
00:14:10,549 --> 00:14:12,813
What, you want
to do her or something?
219
00:14:12,852 --> 00:14:14,820
Hey, hey...
220
00:14:14,854 --> 00:14:16,685
it's all that simple, huh?
221
00:14:16,722 --> 00:14:18,087
When it comes to the
law, it better be.
222
00:14:18,123 --> 00:14:19,886
Jones doesn't
even have a record.
223
00:14:19,925 --> 00:14:21,790
He say he was sitting down
when she shot him.
224
00:14:21,827 --> 00:14:25,422
Yeah, and he's such an
innocent-looking guy, Max.
225
00:14:25,464 --> 00:14:27,523
Oh, that's terrific.
226
00:14:27,566 --> 00:14:30,865
"You're under arrest
for looking guilty."
227
00:14:30,903 --> 00:14:32,495
That's a cheap shot.
228
00:14:32,538 --> 00:14:35,234
The hell it is. That kind of
thinking, you can't do the job.
229
00:14:35,274 --> 00:14:37,708
When it comes to the law,
everybody's the same.
230
00:14:37,743 --> 00:14:40,439
That's when it works-
when everybody's the same.
231
00:14:40,479 --> 00:14:42,947
It's like football-
you hold somebody,
232
00:14:42,982 --> 00:14:44,472
you get caught, it's a penalty.
233
00:14:44,516 --> 00:14:46,143
Doesn't matter whether
you're Billy Sims
234
00:14:46,185 --> 00:14:48,244
or some rookie
for East Podunk State.
235
00:14:53,192 --> 00:14:55,490
She admitted that
she did the shooting...
236
00:14:55,527 --> 00:14:57,859
it's on videotape.
237
00:14:57,897 --> 00:15:01,060
She also says, "Yes, I wanted
to kill them, to hurt them."
238
00:15:01,100 --> 00:15:03,694
Isn't that enough? You want
to arrest her on the Sullivan?
239
00:15:03,736 --> 00:15:06,500
A gun charge is pretty lame,
don't you think?
240
00:15:06,538 --> 00:15:08,335
It's still mandatory jail time.
241
00:15:08,374 --> 00:15:12,640
She fired into a crowded
subway car, for God's sakes!
242
00:15:12,678 --> 00:15:14,043
You want to go
for attempted murder,
243
00:15:14,079 --> 00:15:15,944
you're going to need a formal
statement from the other vic...
244
00:15:15,981 --> 00:15:17,073
Mr. Chenois.
245
00:15:19,151 --> 00:15:22,450
That's Chenault.
Darnell Chenault.
246
00:15:22,488 --> 00:15:24,217
Whatever.
247
00:15:26,992 --> 00:15:30,393
Chenault's been upgraded.
Room 322.
248
00:15:30,429 --> 00:15:33,887
Jones? Jones is in 324,
but you better hurry.
249
00:15:33,933 --> 00:15:35,992
Excuse me, ma'am.
250
00:15:37,202 --> 00:15:39,466
Dr. Garcia,
pick up your messages...
251
00:15:39,505 --> 00:15:41,370
Look here.
252
00:15:43,142 --> 00:15:44,700
Michael Jones?
253
00:15:44,743 --> 00:15:46,711
Used to be.
254
00:15:48,013 --> 00:15:49,878
I don't want
a shot, sweetheart,
255
00:15:49,915 --> 00:15:51,542
I want to get
out of this damn bed.
256
00:15:51,583 --> 00:15:53,949
That's not going to
happen for a while, Damell.
257
00:15:53,986 --> 00:15:55,453
So just take it easy.
258
00:15:55,487 --> 00:15:57,614
Take it easy? Hey, baby,
259
00:15:57,656 --> 00:16:00,250
give me some decent drugs
if you want me to take it easy.
260
00:16:00,292 --> 00:16:02,260
Nicely, Darnell, nicely.
261
00:16:02,294 --> 00:16:04,091
What are you so upset about?
262
00:16:04,129 --> 00:16:06,825
Man, they say I'm going
to be paralyzed, man.
263
00:16:06,865 --> 00:16:10,528
Dumb mothers give me
freaking aspirin with codeine.
264
00:16:12,671 --> 00:16:14,935
You a new specialist?
265
00:16:14,974 --> 00:16:17,909
Sergeant Greevey,
Detective Logan.
266
00:16:17,943 --> 00:16:20,104
Yeah, Darnell,
just the facts, okay?
267
00:16:20,145 --> 00:16:22,613
The facts is,
why'd the bitch shoot me?!
268
00:16:22,648 --> 00:16:24,309
I didn't do nothing.
269
00:16:24,350 --> 00:16:26,045
Reckless endangerment?
270
00:16:26,085 --> 00:16:29,179
That tells the jury
the girl was a little upset,
271
00:16:29,221 --> 00:16:32,713
but so long as no innocent bystanders
were hit, there's no problem.
272
00:16:32,758 --> 00:16:34,623
There's something
to that, isn't there?
273
00:16:34,660 --> 00:16:36,560
I got a subway
full of eyewitnesses
274
00:16:36,595 --> 00:16:38,187
who claims they saw
one of the victims
275
00:16:38,230 --> 00:16:39,891
accost Miss di Biasi-
threaten her.
276
00:16:39,932 --> 00:16:42,298
With his hand on his
crotch? with a screwdriver!
277
00:16:42,334 --> 00:16:44,199
Or with an ice-pick,
or a pick axe.
278
00:16:44,236 --> 00:16:45,794
It's funny what the eye
can witness.
279
00:16:45,838 --> 00:16:47,396
Attempted homicide.
280
00:16:47,439 --> 00:16:49,304
I know we're going
to prosecute,
281
00:16:49,341 --> 00:16:50,638
but do we have
to hang her out to dry?
282
00:16:50,676 --> 00:16:52,803
Why, so every loophead
can blast away
283
00:16:52,845 --> 00:16:54,472
when someone asks him
for the time?
284
00:16:54,513 --> 00:16:56,447
Yeah, I forgot, you guys
in the DA's office
285
00:16:56,482 --> 00:16:58,473
are a regular bunch
of "Carnacs."
286
00:16:58,517 --> 00:17:00,485
You ask me, the young
gentlemen were not asking
287
00:17:00,519 --> 00:17:01,986
for the time of day.
288
00:17:04,556 --> 00:17:07,024
Let us suppose, just
for the sake of argument,
289
00:17:07,059 --> 00:17:10,426
that Miss di Biasi has
had a really horrendous day,
290
00:17:10,462 --> 00:17:12,794
and someone jokingly says,
"Stick 'em up."
291
00:17:12,831 --> 00:17:16,528
She kills them.
It's not self-defense, right?
292
00:17:16,568 --> 00:17:19,196
So she's liable
for negligent homicide,
293
00:17:19,238 --> 00:17:20,637
only in this case...
294
00:17:20,672 --> 00:17:22,503
in this case
the guy didn't die.
295
00:17:24,009 --> 00:17:26,443
Okay, so we go
for attempted murder,
296
00:17:26,478 --> 00:17:28,173
if you're sure
you can make it stick.
297
00:17:28,213 --> 00:17:29,908
You'd better hope I can.
298
00:17:29,948 --> 00:17:32,212
She walks, New York
is Dodge City.
299
00:17:32,251 --> 00:17:34,617
May I make a
suggestion? By all means.
300
00:17:34,653 --> 00:17:36,143
Skip the "legal beagling"
301
00:17:36,188 --> 00:17:38,247
and go with plain
vanilla murder two.
302
00:17:38,290 --> 00:17:40,349
The coroner is determining
303
00:17:40,392 --> 00:17:42,383
the COD
on Mr. Jones
304
00:17:42,428 --> 00:17:45,226
even as we speak.
305
00:17:45,264 --> 00:17:47,630
Murder two?
306
00:17:47,666 --> 00:17:49,861
Bring her in.
307
00:17:54,139 --> 00:17:55,663
Wait a sec, huh?
308
00:18:05,551 --> 00:18:07,712
Ooh.
309
00:18:13,892 --> 00:18:15,553
Sergeant Greevey.
310
00:18:19,431 --> 00:18:21,331
Hold on.
311
00:18:23,135 --> 00:18:25,194
Relax, relax.
312
00:18:27,139 --> 00:18:29,869
Just tell me
what happened, honey.
313
00:18:37,649 --> 00:18:40,641
No- well, why
worry about it then, huh?
314
00:18:41,653 --> 00:18:44,816
Yeah, of course.
315
00:18:44,857 --> 00:18:47,951
We'll talk about it
later tonight, okay?
316
00:18:47,993 --> 00:18:51,258
I'll get home
as soon as possibly can, okay?
317
00:18:52,498 --> 00:18:55,092
Yeah, me too.
318
00:18:58,504 --> 00:18:59,528
What?
319
00:18:59,571 --> 00:19:02,267
It's nothing.
320
00:19:03,342 --> 00:19:05,810
Oh, I thought
it might've been something.
321
00:19:08,480 --> 00:19:10,380
Eileen got
roughed up at school.
322
00:19:10,415 --> 00:19:13,816
She hurt? No, you
know, just some bruises.
323
00:19:15,954 --> 00:19:17,444
Is that all?
324
00:19:18,790 --> 00:19:20,951
Yeah.
325
00:19:20,993 --> 00:19:23,188
Yeah, that's all.
326
00:19:25,564 --> 00:19:27,623
Come on, let's wrap this up.
327
00:19:28,634 --> 00:19:30,295
Who did it?
328
00:19:30,335 --> 00:19:32,200
Three guys
from her basketball team.
329
00:19:32,237 --> 00:19:35,695
She ignored them so they slammed
her up against the lockers.
330
00:19:35,741 --> 00:19:37,265
Bastards.
331
00:19:37,309 --> 00:19:39,470
I wonder if Chenault
and Jones were any good.
332
00:19:39,511 --> 00:19:41,274
At what?
333
00:19:41,313 --> 00:19:43,645
Basketball.
334
00:19:46,585 --> 00:19:49,281
Don't touch me with that thing.
335
00:19:50,556 --> 00:19:52,888
Did you
re-Miranda-ize her?
336
00:19:52,925 --> 00:19:54,415
Yeah, on the way in.
337
00:19:54,459 --> 00:19:57,019
Where's my lawyer?
Why isn't she here yet?
338
00:19:59,898 --> 00:20:02,628
The Public Defenders
have a heavy caseload.
339
00:20:02,668 --> 00:20:04,135
She told me she'd be here.
340
00:20:04,169 --> 00:20:05,636
Maybe she's stuck in traffic.
341
00:20:05,671 --> 00:20:07,764
Have a seat.
342
00:20:13,011 --> 00:20:15,343
I really...
343
00:20:15,380 --> 00:20:16,972
want a lawyer.
344
00:20:17,015 --> 00:20:18,642
I don't want to talk to you.
345
00:20:20,185 --> 00:20:22,176
You understand, Miss di Biasi,
346
00:20:22,221 --> 00:20:25,987
that you are charged
with negligent homicide?
347
00:20:26,024 --> 00:20:28,424
And when you appear
before the judge
348
00:20:28,460 --> 00:20:30,894
he'll determine
what the bail will be,
349
00:20:30,929 --> 00:20:33,261
if the court decides
that you're eligible.
350
00:20:33,298 --> 00:20:34,822
Why is this woman handcuffed?
351
00:20:34,866 --> 00:20:37,630
Sorry, there was
an accident on the FDR.
352
00:20:37,669 --> 00:20:39,227
You haven't said
anything, I trust?
353
00:20:39,271 --> 00:20:41,671
"Trust" and "lawyer," that's a
pair of words that don't match.
354
00:20:41,707 --> 00:20:43,538
How about "cop"
and "IQ over 90"?
355
00:20:43,575 --> 00:20:46,169
Shambala Green,
I'm Miss di Biasi's PD.
356
00:20:46,211 --> 00:20:48,042
So I gathered.
357
00:20:48,080 --> 00:20:51,311
And I ask again,
why is she handcuffed?
358
00:20:51,350 --> 00:20:53,375
Because she's
an accused killer.
359
00:20:53,418 --> 00:20:55,113
Look, Ms. Green,
360
00:20:55,153 --> 00:20:57,678
why don't you save your
attitude for the courtroom?
361
00:21:07,399 --> 00:21:09,367
Do you have a toothbrush?
362
00:21:09,401 --> 00:21:12,700
'Cause we have to take you
over to the women's side
363
00:21:12,738 --> 00:21:14,729
until you're arraigned.
364
00:21:27,185 --> 00:21:28,777
Here, Counselor,
365
00:21:28,820 --> 00:21:31,015
do something useful.
366
00:21:38,263 --> 00:21:41,391
What nuance? I spelled it out
for them in black and white.
367
00:21:41,433 --> 00:21:43,993
Yup, and therein lies the rub.
368
00:21:44,036 --> 00:21:46,300
What, the color angle?
369
00:21:46,338 --> 00:21:49,307
Forget it, Adam,
this isn't Selma.
370
00:21:49,341 --> 00:21:52,071
Neither was Howard Beach, and
you knowwhat happened there.
371
00:21:52,110 --> 00:21:54,601
You read "The Times" poll-
blacks favor tougher sentences
372
00:21:54,646 --> 00:21:56,045
for street crime
then whites do.
373
00:21:56,081 --> 00:21:58,106
Very good.
374
00:21:58,150 --> 00:22:01,210
We've still got to worry
about the perception of racism.
375
00:22:01,253 --> 00:22:02,948
Did she think these
guys were a threat
376
00:22:02,988 --> 00:22:04,546
because they were
street toughs...
377
00:22:04,589 --> 00:22:06,352
or because they were black?
378
00:22:06,391 --> 00:22:09,292
I can't answer that.
All I know is that self-defense
379
00:22:09,328 --> 00:22:11,956
requires that the response be in
direct proportion to the threat.
380
00:22:11,997 --> 00:22:14,591
The threat as she
reasonably perceives it.
381
00:22:14,633 --> 00:22:18,228
If she thinks she is
about to be raped
382
00:22:18,270 --> 00:22:21,000
can she kill her attacker?
383
00:22:21,039 --> 00:22:24,566
The law says yes, absolutely.
384
00:22:24,609 --> 00:22:26,509
And what if her
perception is wrong?
385
00:22:26,545 --> 00:22:29,537
If we let her go, do you realize
what we are unleashing in this city?
386
00:22:29,581 --> 00:22:32,243
There's always
the weapons charge.
387
00:22:33,318 --> 00:22:34,979
You can't be serious.
388
00:22:35,020 --> 00:22:37,716
If we don't prosecute, we're
creating a city of vigilantes.
389
00:22:37,756 --> 00:22:39,018
A man is dead.
390
00:22:39,057 --> 00:22:42,390
I don't need a summation.
Nowwhat do you want?
391
00:22:42,427 --> 00:22:44,827
Permission to file
a murder indictment?
392
00:22:44,863 --> 00:22:46,626
You want to ask
for deniability?
393
00:22:46,665 --> 00:22:49,930
I told you to file?
Since when do I dictate to you?
394
00:22:49,968 --> 00:22:51,526
You don't have a problem?
395
00:22:51,570 --> 00:22:54,562
It's not my problem to have.
396
00:22:56,942 --> 00:22:58,409
No, I'm not a policeman.
397
00:22:58,443 --> 00:23:00,035
I work for
the District Attomey's office.
398
00:23:00,078 --> 00:23:01,773
What do you want to know.
399
00:23:01,813 --> 00:23:04,008
Is Miss di Biasi an RN?
400
00:23:04,049 --> 00:23:06,643
No, a technician.
She used to be a dancer.
401
00:23:06,685 --> 00:23:07,947
She told you that?
402
00:23:07,986 --> 00:23:10,250
We're friends.
She told me about it.
403
00:23:10,288 --> 00:23:12,813
She was performing with
a modern dance company.
404
00:23:12,858 --> 00:23:14,985
I don't know if she
made a living at it.
405
00:23:15,026 --> 00:23:16,653
But you do know what happened?
406
00:23:16,695 --> 00:23:18,424
She was attacked...
407
00:23:18,463 --> 00:23:21,728
down in the subway, by
three youthful offenders.
408
00:23:21,767 --> 00:23:24,463
After she recovered,
she came to work here.
409
00:23:25,470 --> 00:23:27,301
And what was her
reaction to the attack?
410
00:23:27,339 --> 00:23:29,534
Same as anybody's.
411
00:23:29,574 --> 00:23:32,407
She was fearful, resentful
of all the little...
412
00:23:33,945 --> 00:23:35,640
"Little" what?
413
00:23:38,083 --> 00:23:40,074
"Little black bastards"?
414
00:23:42,554 --> 00:23:44,818
You see some black
teenagers on the train,
415
00:23:44,856 --> 00:23:46,448
are you automatically
afraid of them, Miss Maltese?
416
00:23:46,491 --> 00:23:48,925
Aren't you?
417
00:23:59,471 --> 00:24:02,269
Sometimes the stereotype fits.
418
00:24:03,642 --> 00:24:05,803
Long as the story's true.
419
00:24:05,844 --> 00:24:08,608
Cops have shot kids with screwdrivers
before. why not a 90-pound woman?
420
00:24:08,647 --> 00:24:11,343
How threatened could she have been?
She sat down right next to them.
421
00:24:11,383 --> 00:24:13,112
She's got a right
to sit anywhere she wants.
422
00:24:13,151 --> 00:24:16,120
So do the other passengers, but they
moved away because it seemed prudent.
423
00:24:16,154 --> 00:24:19,555
Maybe she was tired of getting
moved around by the mugging class.
424
00:24:19,591 --> 00:24:21,718
"The mugging class"?
425
00:24:21,760 --> 00:24:23,318
What's that about?
426
00:24:23,361 --> 00:24:25,693
You're an Assistant
District Attomey.
427
00:24:25,730 --> 00:24:28,392
You work for the people.
428
00:24:28,433 --> 00:24:31,300
We follow the letter
of the law here.
429
00:24:31,336 --> 00:24:33,827
Go talk to Chenault.
430
00:24:40,745 --> 00:24:42,679
My man tried...
431
00:24:42,714 --> 00:24:44,978
scared her,
432
00:24:45,016 --> 00:24:47,348
maybe with a screwdriver,
433
00:24:48,353 --> 00:24:51,288
but we was just sitting there.
434
00:24:51,323 --> 00:24:53,257
Cut the crap, Darnell,
you weren't sitting,
435
00:24:53,291 --> 00:24:55,691
you were standing up in her face
- Everybody says so.
436
00:24:55,727 --> 00:24:57,820
I'm sitting here now, ain't I?
437
00:24:57,863 --> 00:25:00,923
I'm going to be sitting
for the rest of my life.
438
00:25:01,032 --> 00:25:02,499
So maybe you should
lighten up on the 'tude.
439
00:25:02,534 --> 00:25:05,002
Nobody likes a wise-ass
in a wheelchair.
440
00:25:05,036 --> 00:25:07,800
Whose side you on, anyway?
441
00:25:09,808 --> 00:25:12,436
Nobody's.
442
00:25:12,477 --> 00:25:14,104
I just want the truth.
443
00:25:14,145 --> 00:25:16,045
And I want payback, man.
444
00:25:16,081 --> 00:25:18,879
Like I said, that's up to you.
445
00:25:20,819 --> 00:25:22,753
All right.
446
00:25:22,787 --> 00:25:25,881
All right-
we had the screwdrivers.
447
00:25:25,924 --> 00:25:28,484
We were going to rob some
lockers down at Grand Central.
448
00:25:28,527 --> 00:25:31,792
But we was never, ever,
threatening to nobody,
449
00:25:31,830 --> 00:25:34,390
especially
no white... chick.
450
00:25:34,432 --> 00:25:36,662
You were unthreatening enough so
everybody was down the end of the train?
451
00:25:36,701 --> 00:25:40,364
Except her, man. She came in
and sat down right next to us.
452
00:25:40,405 --> 00:25:42,339
Nowwhy you think that was, huh?
453
00:25:46,177 --> 00:25:49,874
Even with a court order,
it'll take three working days.
454
00:25:49,915 --> 00:25:52,975
I'm afraid I can't wait. The
wheels of justice are turning.
455
00:25:53,018 --> 00:25:54,849
Don't you guys
have your own files?
456
00:25:54,886 --> 00:25:56,683
Hey, you're the paper
of record.
457
00:25:58,823 --> 00:26:02,122
If this were a Greek
tragedy, I'd be guilty of hubris.
458
00:26:02,160 --> 00:26:05,527
Public sentiment on my side,
witnesses on my side,
459
00:26:05,564 --> 00:26:08,032
precedent on self-defense
going back to the days
460
00:26:08,066 --> 00:26:10,034
of knights bashing each
other over the head with...
461
00:26:10,068 --> 00:26:12,935
those whatchamacallit-
those spiked balls...
462
00:26:12,971 --> 00:26:15,201
Maces?
Maces.
463
00:26:15,240 --> 00:26:17,071
Thank you.
See what I mean?
464
00:26:17,108 --> 00:26:18,666
Now I am trying not to gloat,
465
00:26:18,710 --> 00:26:21,770
but what have you got
on your side, Stone?
466
00:26:21,813 --> 00:26:24,407
Not very much, I agree.
467
00:26:24,449 --> 00:26:26,610
Only the New York penal law.
468
00:26:26,651 --> 00:26:29,779
I don't think we have to
discuss the Sullivan statute...
469
00:26:29,821 --> 00:26:32,415
concealed weapons have been
illegal for the past 70 years.
470
00:26:32,457 --> 00:26:34,550
The code is also clear when
it comes to self-defense.
471
00:26:34,593 --> 00:26:36,458
I'm afraid you have
not convinced me
472
00:26:36,494 --> 00:26:38,121
that your client acted in a way
473
00:26:38,163 --> 00:26:41,155
proportional to imminent
attack. Oh, come on.
474
00:26:41,199 --> 00:26:43,759
The defendant must also act in a
way that is thwarting the attack,
475
00:26:43,802 --> 00:26:45,599
not inflicting
grave injury on the victim.
476
00:26:45,637 --> 00:26:47,605
Let's get it down
to single syllables, okay?
477
00:26:47,639 --> 00:26:49,539
The penal law also
clearly allows
478
00:26:49,574 --> 00:26:52,099
for the use of deadly force
to repel robbery,
479
00:26:52,143 --> 00:26:53,474
kidnapping, forcible sodomy
480
00:26:53,511 --> 00:26:56,571
and? or forcible rape.
481
00:26:56,615 --> 00:26:59,516
I don't see anything forcible
about it. He was only asking.
482
00:27:01,286 --> 00:27:05,347
What kind of piggish attitude
is that, Counselor?
483
00:27:05,390 --> 00:27:07,620
Are you suggesting
484
00:27:07,659 --> 00:27:10,628
that my client
was asking for it?
485
00:27:13,031 --> 00:27:15,966
Miss Green, this is not
a personal attack,
486
00:27:16,001 --> 00:27:17,628
nor an attack upon the species.
487
00:27:17,669 --> 00:27:19,830
The fact is, there may have
been some degree of threat,
488
00:27:19,871 --> 00:27:22,669
but where that becomes
attempted rape is a fine line.
489
00:27:22,707 --> 00:27:26,040
Which all too many women of
this city have been pushed across
490
00:27:26,077 --> 00:27:29,046
while they've been wondering,
"Is this really happening to me?"
491
00:27:29,080 --> 00:27:33,073
The law is our only defense against
the rapists and the shooters.
492
00:27:33,118 --> 00:27:35,416
People break it,
cops try to catch them,
493
00:27:35,453 --> 00:27:36,943
and I try to cook them.
It's my job.
494
00:27:36,988 --> 00:27:39,718
Sometimes I don't like it,
but it's all we got.
495
00:27:41,693 --> 00:27:43,558
Yeah.
496
00:27:44,663 --> 00:27:46,790
See you in court, Stone.
497
00:27:55,674 --> 00:27:59,633
Laura,
D- I-B as in boy, I-A.
498
00:28:01,346 --> 00:28:04,076
"Letter to the editor"?
That's all you got?
499
00:28:04,115 --> 00:28:05,639
That's it.
500
00:28:05,684 --> 00:28:07,117
I owe you one.
501
00:28:07,152 --> 00:28:10,246
"The police seemed
to treat this vicious attack
502
00:28:10,288 --> 00:28:12,848
as 'just one
of those things. '
503
00:28:12,891 --> 00:28:14,916
The authorities
don't want decent people
504
00:28:14,959 --> 00:28:17,052
j carrying weapons
to protect themselves.
505
00:28:17,095 --> 00:28:20,064
We agree to give up this
right on the assumption
506
00:28:20,098 --> 00:28:22,157
that the police will do
the protecting for us.
507
00:28:22,200 --> 00:28:24,031
Obviously this is
no longer the case.
508
00:28:24,069 --> 00:28:26,503
Laura di Biasi,
New York City."
509
00:28:28,373 --> 00:28:31,604
The seeds of premeditation.
Way to go. Yes?
510
00:28:31,643 --> 00:28:33,634
Sergeant Greevey
and Detective Logan are here.
511
00:28:33,678 --> 00:28:36,272
Send them in. Get a search
warrant for her apartment.
512
00:28:36,314 --> 00:28:38,748
There may be other letters.
Some people keep copies.
513
00:28:40,585 --> 00:28:42,246
Want to run through it?
514
00:28:42,287 --> 00:28:44,312
Sure.
515
00:28:47,025 --> 00:28:51,155
Now Detective Greevey, describe
for the court, if you will,
516
00:28:51,196 --> 00:28:53,790
the accused's state of mind
when you questioned her.
517
00:28:53,832 --> 00:28:54,958
She was upset.
518
00:29:02,173 --> 00:29:04,141
She said she intended
519
00:29:04,175 --> 00:29:06,939
to "blow their heads off,"
if necessary.
520
00:29:08,346 --> 00:29:10,337
Was that a question?
521
00:29:12,984 --> 00:29:15,282
Are we in the same room, Max?
522
00:29:17,122 --> 00:29:19,317
Look, we both know
what went down.
523
00:29:19,357 --> 00:29:20,915
She was scared
half out of her wits
524
00:29:20,959 --> 00:29:23,086
by those... two perps.
525
00:29:23,128 --> 00:29:26,291
Victims, Max. Victims.
What's going on?
526
00:29:26,331 --> 00:29:27,798
Meaning what?
527
00:29:27,832 --> 00:29:30,300
Meaning you were gung-ho about
this before. what's happened?
528
00:29:36,975 --> 00:29:39,705
Michael Jones, the dead victim,
529
00:29:39,744 --> 00:29:42,440
the one the computer
boys said was so clean
530
00:29:42,480 --> 00:29:44,311
you could eat off of him? Yeah?
531
00:29:44,349 --> 00:29:48,217
The coroner sent out
his fingerprints on a hunch,
532
00:29:48,253 --> 00:29:50,380
just to see, you know,
for the hell of it.
533
00:29:50,421 --> 00:29:54,152
Turns out his real name's
Michael Mosket!
534
00:29:54,192 --> 00:29:56,387
Whoa-
"Mosquito Mosket"?
535
00:29:56,427 --> 00:29:58,054
Yeah, ring a bell?
536
00:29:58,096 --> 00:30:00,792
Attempted murder,
negligent homicide?
537
00:30:00,832 --> 00:30:03,699
Two years at Spofford
when he was 14 for manslaughter?
538
00:30:03,735 --> 00:30:05,669
Real winner, this kid.
539
00:30:05,703 --> 00:30:08,672
This is really going
to win us points with the jury.
540
00:30:08,706 --> 00:30:10,230
They take one look at him,
541
00:30:10,275 --> 00:30:13,005
they figure the little bastard
got just what he deserved.
542
00:30:13,044 --> 00:30:15,877
That's how you figure it,
Max? I remember Mosket.
543
00:30:15,914 --> 00:30:18,883
That was all gang-related.
There was no sex involved!
544
00:30:18,917 --> 00:30:20,350
Now as far as I read it,
545
00:30:20,385 --> 00:30:22,945
that girl was revenging
the earlier attack,
546
00:30:22,987 --> 00:30:25,182
and self-defense
does not allow for revenge!
547
00:30:25,223 --> 00:30:27,817
The law allowed Michael Mosket
to walk free.
548
00:30:27,859 --> 00:30:30,692
Until real justice was served
down in the subway?
549
00:30:30,728 --> 00:30:34,164
Do you have any other
personal views on this subject
550
00:30:34,199 --> 00:30:36,099
you'd like to air before
we walk into court
551
00:30:36,134 --> 00:30:38,898
and Ms. Shambala Green hands us
our asses on a platter?!
552
00:30:40,705 --> 00:30:42,900
Nope, not a one.
553
00:30:43,908 --> 00:30:45,705
I don't believe this.
554
00:30:45,743 --> 00:30:48,507
The entire New York City Police
Department's lost its mind.
555
00:30:48,546 --> 00:30:50,207
Do you have anything to say?
556
00:30:50,248 --> 00:30:52,876
I go along
with what my partner says.
557
00:30:52,917 --> 00:30:54,384
Which is...?
558
00:31:01,659 --> 00:31:04,457
The accused stated
559
00:31:04,495 --> 00:31:07,020
that she intended
to harm the victims.
560
00:31:07,065 --> 00:31:09,465
Absolutely.
561
00:31:18,843 --> 00:31:21,334
The defense will
prove that not only fear,
562
00:31:21,379 --> 00:31:24,007
but anger stemming
from a previous incident,
563
00:31:24,048 --> 00:31:27,142
led Miss di Biasi to an act
not of self-defense,
564
00:31:27,185 --> 00:31:28,652
but of vengeance.
565
00:31:28,686 --> 00:31:30,017
Armed with a deadly weapon,
566
00:31:30,054 --> 00:31:33,217
she waited
for the very next pretext...
567
00:31:33,258 --> 00:31:36,750
in essence, she went looking for
Damell Chenault and Michael Jones,
568
00:31:36,794 --> 00:31:39,456
whose only offense
against the accused
569
00:31:39,497 --> 00:31:41,397
was that they appeared
to be threatening.
570
00:31:41,432 --> 00:31:44,128
If Miss di Biasi is
so threatened by urban life,
571
00:31:44,168 --> 00:31:45,999
perhaps she could've
avoided the subway.
572
00:31:46,037 --> 00:31:48,130
Objection!
Objection, Your Honor.
573
00:31:48,172 --> 00:31:49,696
I trust there will be
nothing further
574
00:31:49,741 --> 00:31:51,106
along that line, Counselor?
575
00:31:52,310 --> 00:31:53,937
Of course I'm more than willing
576
00:31:53,978 --> 00:31:55,741
to make a statement.
577
00:31:55,780 --> 00:31:57,805
The behavior of the prosecution
578
00:31:57,849 --> 00:31:59,783
is totally inappropriate.
579
00:31:59,817 --> 00:32:02,479
I find it incredible that
a civil servant of this city
580
00:32:02,520 --> 00:32:05,387
could suggest that a woman
doesn't have the right
581
00:32:05,423 --> 00:32:07,288
to ride the subway
without fear.
582
00:32:07,325 --> 00:32:10,294
Mr. Stone, did you really
mean to say that Laura di Biasi
583
00:32:10,328 --> 00:32:12,353
has no right to live
in New York City?
584
00:32:12,397 --> 00:32:14,695
You're being a bit literal,
aren't you?
585
00:32:14,732 --> 00:32:17,565
I don't think so. I think your
implication was pretty clear.
586
00:32:17,602 --> 00:32:20,332
If a woman is afraid of rape,
she has no right to live here.
587
00:32:20,371 --> 00:32:23,363
That's a curious position
to take for a prosecutor.
588
00:32:45,430 --> 00:32:48,194
Ballet books, poetry...
589
00:32:48,232 --> 00:32:51,167
couple of how-to books
on achieving orgasm.
590
00:32:52,603 --> 00:32:54,571
Oh, great.
591
00:32:54,605 --> 00:32:56,197
Now what?
592
00:32:57,742 --> 00:33:00,210
Did you find anything
incriminating?
593
00:33:00,244 --> 00:33:01,541
"Small Arms Manual,"
594
00:33:01,579 --> 00:33:02,944
"Shoot to Kill,"
"Hand-to-hand Combat."
595
00:33:02,981 --> 00:33:04,505
So? Unusual bedtime stories.
596
00:33:04,549 --> 00:33:07,017
That's my business.
597
00:33:07,051 --> 00:33:08,609
I assume you have a warrant?
598
00:33:09,687 --> 00:33:12,349
Save it.
599
00:33:12,390 --> 00:33:14,881
Excuse me, I'm sorry
to bother you, I really am.
600
00:33:14,926 --> 00:33:16,223
I know you're going
through a tough...
601
00:33:16,260 --> 00:33:18,387
Yeah, right...
602
00:33:18,429 --> 00:33:20,556
you know.
603
00:33:20,598 --> 00:33:23,829
I haven't slept a full hour
since this whole thing started.
604
00:33:23,868 --> 00:33:26,428
Look, I should be going,
and I'm sorry,
605
00:33:26,471 --> 00:33:28,496
but I have to take these.
606
00:33:28,539 --> 00:33:29,972
It's not enough you hang me,
607
00:33:30,008 --> 00:33:32,101
I have to buy you
the rope, too, huh?
608
00:33:36,414 --> 00:33:38,041
What have you got against me?
609
00:33:38,082 --> 00:33:39,549
I'm sorry?
610
00:33:39,584 --> 00:33:42,985
I don't understand
why you hate me.
611
00:33:43,021 --> 00:33:44,454
Look, I'm not free to dis...
612
00:33:46,057 --> 00:33:47,854
I don't.
Of course I don't.
613
00:33:47,892 --> 00:33:49,382
Then why are you...
614
00:33:49,427 --> 00:33:51,190
we really shouldn't be
having this conversation.
615
00:33:51,229 --> 00:33:53,288
I wouldn't shoot you!
616
00:33:53,331 --> 00:33:55,322
Don't you understand?
617
00:33:58,036 --> 00:34:00,266
It all became unreal.
618
00:34:00,304 --> 00:34:02,568
It wasn't happening to me.
619
00:34:02,607 --> 00:34:05,633
All I could feel was fear.
I was afraid of them.
620
00:34:05,676 --> 00:34:07,268
I was terrified!
621
00:34:07,311 --> 00:34:10,041
Not because they were black,
622
00:34:10,081 --> 00:34:12,606
but because of who they were.
623
00:34:12,650 --> 00:34:14,675
I didn't mean to kill him.
624
00:34:14,719 --> 00:34:17,153
I couldn't make it stop.
625
00:34:17,188 --> 00:34:19,520
They wouldn't-
it wouldn't...
626
00:34:19,557 --> 00:34:21,650
Please, that's enough.
627
00:34:21,692 --> 00:34:23,216
What if you were on a train,
628
00:34:23,261 --> 00:34:26,822
and a bunch of rednecks
started hassling you?
629
00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:31,594
Wouldn't you be afraid?
630
00:34:33,638 --> 00:34:35,401
Wouldn't you?!
631
00:34:35,440 --> 00:34:39,900
Miss di Biasi, please.
I'm sorry,
632
00:34:39,944 --> 00:34:41,206
I can't comment.
633
00:34:44,282 --> 00:34:46,443
I can't stay.
634
00:34:49,687 --> 00:34:53,646
I came by to give you my
unconditional support. Only...
635
00:34:53,691 --> 00:34:55,716
"Number one,
tone it down a little;
636
00:34:55,760 --> 00:34:57,625
Number two, try
a little damage control"?
637
00:34:57,662 --> 00:34:59,493
PR's not my job.
638
00:34:59,530 --> 00:35:00,895
You seen the papers?
639
00:35:00,932 --> 00:35:02,763
She was looking
for it."
640
00:35:02,800 --> 00:35:04,461
They're having
a field day out there.
641
00:35:04,502 --> 00:35:06,470
I can't help that.
Our whole strategy
642
00:35:06,504 --> 00:35:08,267
is sandbagging
the self-defense scenario.
643
00:35:08,306 --> 00:35:11,537
Even if she comes off a revenge
seeker with a hair trigger?
644
00:35:11,576 --> 00:35:14,272
She pulled off five shots
in three seconds.
645
00:35:14,312 --> 00:35:16,473
Excellent,
but it would be nice,
646
00:35:16,514 --> 00:35:20,041
real nice, if we could have
a concrete piece of evidence
647
00:35:20,084 --> 00:35:22,245
to support your revenge theory.
648
00:35:22,286 --> 00:35:23,878
DA Schiff.
649
00:35:23,921 --> 00:35:25,320
Paul.
650
00:35:27,191 --> 00:35:28,556
"Shoot to Kill"?
651
00:35:28,593 --> 00:35:30,561
Damage control.
652
00:35:31,996 --> 00:35:33,486
I found all this
in her bedroom.
653
00:35:35,566 --> 00:35:38,501
Check the dates. The first
one was six months ago.
654
00:35:41,439 --> 00:35:43,304
She's improving.
655
00:35:51,682 --> 00:35:53,479
Wow.
656
00:35:53,985 --> 00:35:56,977
What were the extent
of those injuries?
657
00:35:57,021 --> 00:35:58,420
They were fairly extensive.
658
00:35:58,456 --> 00:36:00,549
Could you describe them for me?
659
00:36:00,591 --> 00:36:03,583
They were tall, muscular,
660
00:36:03,628 --> 00:36:05,789
one had an Afro
with a goatee...
661
00:36:05,830 --> 00:36:08,424
No, no, Miss di
Biasi, I'll rephrase.
662
00:36:08,466 --> 00:36:10,366
Could you please explain
663
00:36:10,401 --> 00:36:12,301
and describe for the court
664
00:36:12,336 --> 00:36:13,860
the injuries?
665
00:36:13,905 --> 00:36:15,896
Oh.
666
00:36:16,941 --> 00:36:19,068
I had a shattered disc
in my back,
667
00:36:19,110 --> 00:36:21,044
some broken ribs,
668
00:36:21,078 --> 00:36:23,273
torn cartilage
in the right knee.
669
00:36:23,314 --> 00:36:26,374
And these injuries required
several operations, didn't they?
670
00:36:26,417 --> 00:36:28,214
Yes, several.
671
00:36:28,252 --> 00:36:31,187
Three? Five?
672
00:36:31,222 --> 00:36:33,747
Four, I think.
Five.
673
00:36:35,560 --> 00:36:37,027
I don't know.
674
00:36:37,061 --> 00:36:38,494
They hurt me,
isn't that enough?
675
00:36:38,529 --> 00:36:40,622
Yes, of course.
676
00:36:40,665 --> 00:36:42,895
And no one blames you
for being resentful.
677
00:36:44,702 --> 00:36:47,569
These injuries finished you
as a dancer, didn't they?
678
00:36:51,042 --> 00:36:52,873
Yes.
679
00:36:52,910 --> 00:36:54,878
That seem fair to you?
680
00:36:54,912 --> 00:36:56,709
I object, Your Honor.
What's the relevancy?
681
00:36:56,747 --> 00:36:58,476
I'll allow it.
682
00:37:01,485 --> 00:37:03,043
No.
683
00:37:03,087 --> 00:37:05,055
No, it wasn't fair.
684
00:37:05,089 --> 00:37:06,681
I think it's grossly unfair.
685
00:37:06,724 --> 00:37:09,056
I'm sure if I were
in your position,
686
00:37:09,093 --> 00:37:10,492
I'd carry a 9mm, too.
687
00:37:10,528 --> 00:37:12,223
Objection!
Withdrawn.
688
00:37:12,263 --> 00:37:14,595
Miss di Biasi...
689
00:37:15,666 --> 00:37:18,658
in your dreams,
in your fantasies,
690
00:37:18,703 --> 00:37:21,501
did you ever wish
691
00:37:21,539 --> 00:37:23,871
you'd gotten back
at those youths?
692
00:37:23,908 --> 00:37:25,933
Objection. Objection.
693
00:37:25,977 --> 00:37:27,501
Your Honor,
this is unbelievable.
694
00:37:27,545 --> 00:37:30,708
She was defending herself
against a man who's been accused
695
00:37:30,748 --> 00:37:32,443
of multiple homicides.
696
00:37:32,483 --> 00:37:35,782
Mr. Mosket's priors have
no bearing on this case, Judge.
697
00:37:35,820 --> 00:37:37,685
Nor, of course, could
she have known about them.
698
00:37:37,722 --> 00:37:39,622
Overruled.
699
00:37:39,657 --> 00:37:42,091
Besides, he wasn't
the only threat, was he?
700
00:37:44,996 --> 00:37:48,363
Who else did you find
threatening, Miss di Biasi?
701
00:37:49,367 --> 00:37:51,062
Mr. Chenault?
702
00:37:56,907 --> 00:37:59,740
What exactly did he say?
703
00:38:03,447 --> 00:38:05,813
He said...
704
00:38:07,151 --> 00:38:09,813
"How about a taste...
705
00:38:09,854 --> 00:38:11,845
for my friend?"
706
00:38:11,889 --> 00:38:13,754
which you took
707
00:38:13,791 --> 00:38:16,089
as an overture to rape?
708
00:38:16,127 --> 00:38:19,324
He was crowding me,
he was right up against me.
709
00:38:19,363 --> 00:38:20,660
Who, Mr. Chenault?
710
00:38:20,698 --> 00:38:22,290
Mr. Mosket?
Both of them?
711
00:38:22,333 --> 00:38:24,824
Yes! No.
712
00:38:25,836 --> 00:38:27,736
I don't know.
At least one.
713
00:38:27,772 --> 00:38:30,240
And you tried to get
away? Yes, of course.
714
00:38:30,274 --> 00:38:31,639
The second time, too?
715
00:38:31,676 --> 00:38:33,007
Yes.
716
00:38:33,044 --> 00:38:35,035
That's why you shot him
the second time, to get away?
717
00:38:35,079 --> 00:38:36,410
Objection, Your Honor.
718
00:38:36,447 --> 00:38:38,779
Why did you shoot
Darnell Chenault
719
00:38:38,816 --> 00:38:40,374
a second time, Miss di Biasi?
720
00:38:40,418 --> 00:38:42,579
I was petrified.
I wanted to make sure.
721
00:38:42,620 --> 00:38:45,521
So you said,
"Here's your taste."
722
00:39:07,511 --> 00:39:10,378
You said,
"Here's your taste."
723
00:39:10,414 --> 00:39:12,245
Sounds rather cool.
724
00:39:12,283 --> 00:39:14,649
Objection, Your
Honor. No further questions.
725
00:39:21,158 --> 00:39:23,149
Miss di Biasi, you say
726
00:39:23,194 --> 00:39:25,754
you "didn't have time
to think."
727
00:39:27,531 --> 00:39:30,022
Nor should anyone
be required to think
728
00:39:30,067 --> 00:39:32,365
when faced with grave
bodily harm.
729
00:39:32,403 --> 00:39:34,371
The human response
is not to think,
730
00:39:34,405 --> 00:39:36,339
but to react.
731
00:39:36,374 --> 00:39:38,365
Miss Green, get on with it.
732
00:39:40,811 --> 00:39:43,143
"Detached reflection
733
00:39:43,180 --> 00:39:45,671
cannot be demanded
in the presence
734
00:39:45,716 --> 00:39:47,650
of an uplifted knife."
735
00:39:47,685 --> 00:39:50,153
Or screwdriver.
736
00:39:50,187 --> 00:39:52,178
Objection, Your Honor,
this has no bearing
737
00:39:52,223 --> 00:39:53,713
on why Miss di Biasi
was waiting...
738
00:39:53,758 --> 00:39:55,487
This has all the bearing
in the world.
739
00:39:55,526 --> 00:39:57,824
A lot more than
the Jesuitical casuistry
740
00:39:57,862 --> 00:40:00,422
offered up by
the District Attorney.
741
00:40:00,464 --> 00:40:02,955
May we approach
the bench, Your Honor?
742
00:40:03,000 --> 00:40:05,491
If you can be brief.
743
00:40:10,174 --> 00:40:11,732
Your Honor,
744
00:40:11,776 --> 00:40:13,573
the speed of the events,
745
00:40:13,611 --> 00:40:15,272
the timeframe
of my client's reaction,
746
00:40:15,312 --> 00:40:16,836
is crucial to my defense.
747
00:40:16,881 --> 00:40:19,247
I'd like permission to stage
748
00:40:19,283 --> 00:40:20,682
a demonstration
of the incident,
749
00:40:20,718 --> 00:40:22,447
if it please the court?
750
00:40:22,486 --> 00:40:24,351
Isn't this enough
of a circus, Your Honor?
751
00:40:24,388 --> 00:40:26,379
I'll decide that.
752
00:40:27,525 --> 00:40:29,618
All right, but I warn you,
Miss Green,
753
00:40:29,660 --> 00:40:32,026
I don't want to see
any undue theatrics.
754
00:40:32,062 --> 00:40:33,529
Thank you, Your Honor.
755
00:40:33,564 --> 00:40:35,259
Ladies and gentlemen,
756
00:40:35,299 --> 00:40:37,494
the court has agreed
to allow the defense
757
00:40:37,535 --> 00:40:41,266
to stage a re-enactment
of the occurrence in question.
758
00:40:50,314 --> 00:40:52,077
Crime Stoppers!
Your Honor, these people
759
00:40:52,116 --> 00:40:54,380
are on record as supporting
the vigilante tactics...
760
00:40:54,418 --> 00:40:56,477
If that's an objection,
you're overruled.
761
00:40:57,488 --> 00:40:59,353
Proceed, Miss Green.
762
00:41:22,079 --> 00:41:26,379
How about a taste, baby?
763
00:41:26,417 --> 00:41:29,511
Man, what the homeboys doing,
narcing for the white folks?!
764
00:41:29,553 --> 00:41:31,418
Order! Order!
765
00:41:31,455 --> 00:41:33,013
Huh?! Little punks!
766
00:41:33,057 --> 00:41:34,649
Get off of me!
Get off of me!
767
00:41:34,692 --> 00:41:36,455
Come on, you bunch of freaks!
768
00:41:39,029 --> 00:41:42,226
Order! Order!
769
00:41:42,266 --> 00:41:44,257
If the Crime Stoppers
didn't do it,
770
00:41:44,301 --> 00:41:46,929
Darnell sure as hell did.
So how much worse can it get?
771
00:41:46,971 --> 00:41:49,496
Not much. I want you up
there for the rest of the day.
772
00:41:49,540 --> 00:41:51,440
What, an antidote
to brother Darnell?
773
00:41:51,475 --> 00:41:53,136
The name on everyone's lips.
774
00:41:53,177 --> 00:41:55,975
I got a woman down the hall who
can't stop talking about him.
775
00:41:58,649 --> 00:42:01,550
I'll- I'll sign
a complaint,
776
00:42:01,585 --> 00:42:03,576
point the finger, you name it.
777
00:42:03,621 --> 00:42:06,351
You recognized Mr. Chenault how,
from seeing him on the news?
778
00:42:06,390 --> 00:42:07,948
Uh-huh,
that's right.
779
00:42:07,992 --> 00:42:10,927
And the other one,
the one that died...
780
00:42:10,961 --> 00:42:12,292
Mosquito Mosket?
781
00:42:12,329 --> 00:42:14,058
Mm-hmm.
782
00:42:14,098 --> 00:42:17,329
Yeah.
Too bad.
783
00:42:17,368 --> 00:42:19,302
I mean, he's...
784
00:42:19,336 --> 00:42:22,464
he's the one
that tried to rape me.
785
00:42:22,506 --> 00:42:25,031
That I'm sure of.
And I'm pretty sure
786
00:42:25,075 --> 00:42:27,543
that the guy in the wheelchair,
he held me down.
787
00:42:27,578 --> 00:42:29,569
How sure is "pretty sure,"
Miss Diamond?
788
00:42:29,613 --> 00:42:32,673
Like I said, I'm positive
789
00:42:32,716 --> 00:42:34,513
of the one that died.
790
00:42:46,196 --> 00:42:50,132
Adam, I need to twist Darnell.
I need your permission.
791
00:42:50,167 --> 00:42:51,862
Yeah, what are you
talking about?
792
00:42:51,902 --> 00:42:53,836
There's a woman right now
with Stevenson
793
00:42:53,871 --> 00:42:55,498
swearing out a complaint
about Chenault.
794
00:42:55,539 --> 00:42:57,200
What's that got to do
with anything?
795
00:42:57,241 --> 00:42:58,640
Maybe nothing,
maybe everything.
796
00:42:58,676 --> 00:43:00,268
But if those two are
rape-happy, I want to know that
797
00:43:00,311 --> 00:43:03,178
before I go tearing
into Laura di Biasi again.
798
00:43:03,213 --> 00:43:06,671
Can't anyone around here stay on the
same side of the street for 10 seconds?
799
00:43:06,717 --> 00:43:08,275
Well?
800
00:43:08,319 --> 00:43:10,685
If we change our tune now,
801
00:43:10,721 --> 00:43:12,746
we're facing
a public relations disaster.
802
00:43:12,790 --> 00:43:14,758
I know that. You don't
have to tell me that.
803
00:43:14,792 --> 00:43:17,022
But if I don't listen
to my reasonable doubt...
804
00:43:17,061 --> 00:43:18,653
I thought Mosket
was a gang member...
805
00:43:18,696 --> 00:43:22,132
violent, but no history of sexual
crimes. with what I know now,
806
00:43:22,166 --> 00:43:24,031
the defendant's perceptions
may be accurate.
807
00:43:24,068 --> 00:43:26,866
I can't prosecute on that level.
All right, but we've got to consider...
808
00:43:26,904 --> 00:43:28,531
I won't do it.
809
00:43:28,572 --> 00:43:30,472
What the hell, go for it.
810
00:43:30,507 --> 00:43:33,670
I'll ask Leon
for a continuance.
811
00:43:33,711 --> 00:43:37,238
Damn, cuz, slow down!
What do you want, man?
812
00:43:37,281 --> 00:43:39,340
The truth.
813
00:43:39,383 --> 00:43:42,181
Look, I was sitting down, man,
814
00:43:42,219 --> 00:43:44,187
just like I'm sitting down now.
815
00:43:44,221 --> 00:43:46,280
I didn't even move a muscle.
816
00:43:46,323 --> 00:43:50,350
Damn, man, Mosquito's the one
into biting on white chicks.
817
00:43:55,199 --> 00:43:58,032
This is rather
unbelievable, Mr. Stone.
818
00:43:58,068 --> 00:44:01,060
The defense has an obligation
to defend its client vigorously
819
00:44:01,105 --> 00:44:03,005
even if it has knowledge
of the client's guilt.
820
00:44:03,040 --> 00:44:05,668
The prosecutor's job
is much more restrictive.
821
00:44:05,709 --> 00:44:09,440
I have to drop the charges if I
believe the accused is innocent,
822
00:44:09,480 --> 00:44:12,813
and with the new information
on Mosket, I have no choice.
823
00:44:12,850 --> 00:44:14,909
There is reasonable
doubt on murder two.
824
00:44:14,952 --> 00:44:16,613
So what are you looking for?
825
00:44:16,654 --> 00:44:18,986
That she plead
on the gun charge
826
00:44:19,023 --> 00:44:20,957
and the reckless
endangerment...
827
00:44:20,991 --> 00:44:25,360
Chenault was shot sitting down
according to an eyewitness.
828
00:44:25,396 --> 00:44:26,954
Miss Green?
829
00:44:26,997 --> 00:44:29,022
Forget it, Judge.
830
00:44:29,066 --> 00:44:31,830
Mr. Stone is hardly
in a position to negotiate.
831
00:44:31,869 --> 00:44:33,860
Why don't we just
go back in there,
832
00:44:33,904 --> 00:44:36,065
tell the jury the truth
about Mosket,
833
00:44:36,106 --> 00:44:38,131
and let them decide
how to deal with my client?
834
00:44:40,711 --> 00:44:43,043
You are a Public Defender.
835
00:44:43,080 --> 00:44:46,311
Try defending the public.
If this goes to a jury,
836
00:44:46,350 --> 00:44:48,511
they won't convict
on the gun charge.
837
00:44:48,552 --> 00:44:50,452
She is innocent.
838
00:44:50,487 --> 00:44:53,547
Miss Laura di Biasi
is not innocent
839
00:44:53,590 --> 00:44:56,024
of carrying and discharging
a lethal weapon
840
00:44:56,060 --> 00:44:58,426
in a closed
and crowded subway car.
841
00:44:58,462 --> 00:45:01,795
And if we acquit her on
this, we will be inviting
842
00:45:01,832 --> 00:45:05,199
nine million people
to arm themselves.
843
00:45:05,235 --> 00:45:07,169
This is not a question
of win or lose,
844
00:45:07,204 --> 00:45:08,796
it's a question of justice.
845
00:45:12,643 --> 00:45:14,873
We're both paid by the people.
846
00:45:14,912 --> 00:45:17,210
We're both part of the system.
847
00:45:17,247 --> 00:45:20,182
Let's let it work
the way it's supposed to.
848
00:45:23,587 --> 00:45:26,920
Are you flexible on sentencing
849
00:45:26,957 --> 00:45:28,686
for the Sullivan violation?
850
00:45:28,726 --> 00:45:30,353
One year suspended,
851
00:45:30,394 --> 00:45:32,055
three years probation,
852
00:45:32,096 --> 00:45:35,293
2000 hours of community
service on the Sullivan.
853
00:45:35,332 --> 00:45:38,790
Five years suspended
on the reckless endangerment.
854
00:45:38,836 --> 00:45:41,964
Plus she must submit
to a psyche profile test,
855
00:45:42,005 --> 00:45:44,701
and whatever care mandated by
the hospital during probation.
856
00:45:45,709 --> 00:45:47,700
Deal?
857
00:45:52,716 --> 00:45:55,617
Naturally,
my client is gratified
858
00:45:55,652 --> 00:45:56,983
that justice has been served.
859
00:45:57,020 --> 00:46:00,478
We look upon this as not
only a personal vindication,
860
00:46:00,524 --> 00:46:03,652
but also a victory
for every woman and man
861
00:46:03,694 --> 00:46:06,492
that rides the subways or
walks the streets of New York.
862
00:46:06,530 --> 00:46:08,998
And I want to thank
the district attorneys
863
00:46:09,032 --> 00:46:11,500
for having the courage
of their convictions.
864
00:46:11,535 --> 00:46:13,662
It's not a perfect world,
865
00:46:13,704 --> 00:46:15,501
but at least we can
walk away from this one
866
00:46:15,539 --> 00:46:16,801
feeling we did the right thing.
867
00:46:16,840 --> 00:46:18,899
Really? It feels to
me like all we did
868
00:46:18,942 --> 00:46:21,433
was make the wrong
seem like a right.63656
