In the criminal justice

the people are represented

00:00:12,490 --> 00:00:14,840
by two separate,
yet equally important groups:
4
00:00:14,883 --> 00:00:16,798
the police
who investigate crime,
5
00:00:16,842 --> 00:00:19,758

who prosecute the offenders.

DOA is a black male,
late teens, early 20s.

No name, no ID.
37

No, luggage.

She was walking to work,
saw the fancy trunk,

tried to wheel it off,
realized there was something

wasn't expecting to see

a bare-ass dead dude,
I'll tell you that much.

No petechiae hemorrhage,

Guessing that's where
he shot up.

gold polyester fibers.

- Somebody restrained him.
- Looks that way.

00:03:40,741 --> 00:03:43,135
So the kid was having
some fun in the bedroom,

No DNA on the body either.

Drug overdose.

Drugs?
I find that hard to believe.
79

He took such good care
of himself,

00:04:25,656 --> 00:04:28,659
had a lot of pride in his body
and in his craft.

What about his family?
87
00:04:41,367 --> 00:04:43,456
Do his parents
live in the city?

Is there a reason
for this lack of communication?
104
00:05:25,716 --> 00:05:26,978
Darien chose to pursue
a lifestyle
105

with our beliefs.

himself right with God.

Any talk of drug use?

148
00:07:34,758 --> 00:07:38,022
Did he mention any new
friends, a new boyfriend?
149
00:07:38,065 --> 00:07:40,198
Uh,
best I could find is this--
150
00:07:40,241 --> 00:07:41,416
sent two days ago:
151
00:07:41,460 --> 00:07:43,506
"TBM is trippin',
like, for real.
152
00:07:43,549 --> 00:07:46,770
But he's still kinda dope."
I have no idea what that means.
153
00:07:46,813 --> 00:07:50,556
Some dude
named TBM is acting weird,
154
00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:53,254
but Darien
still thinks he's awesome.
155
00:07:54,517 --> 00:07:55,909
M.E. called ten minutes ago,
156
00:07:55,953 --> 00:07:57,563
said the official
cause of death
157
00:07:57,607 --> 00:08:00,174
was acute
methamphetamine toxicity,
158
00:08:00,218 --> 00:08:03,177
said they found 2 milliliters
of concentrated meth
159
00:08:03,221 --> 00:08:04,788
in Darien's vein,
160
00:08:04,831 --> 00:08:07,791
meaning it never metabolized
into his bloodstream.
161
00:08:07,834 --> 00:08:09,662
Meaning someone
shot him up again
162
00:08:09,706 --> 00:08:11,490
after he was already dead.
163
00:08:11,534 --> 00:08:13,666
So let's keep
working this case
164
00:08:13,710 --> 00:08:15,668

Hey, just got access
to Darien's Uber account.
166
00:08:17,496 --> 00:08:20,194
So his last destination
was 321 Green Street,
167
00:08:20,238 --> 00:08:22,545
an art gallery downtown,
and it looks like there was
168
00:08:22,588 --> 00:08:25,591
a fundraising event there last
night for Senator Jack Nathan.
169
00:08:25,635 --> 00:08:28,246
Okay,

170
00:08:32,380 --> 00:08:33,991
It was a great event.
171
00:08:34,034 --> 00:08:37,516
I raised $2 million
for Senator Nathan.
172
00:08:37,560 --> 00:08:39,213
- From Connecticut?
- Mm-hmm.
173
00:08:39,257 --> 00:08:42,695
If he plays it right,
he could be president--
174
00:08:42,739 --> 00:08:45,742
smart, handsome, charming.
175
00:08:45,785 --> 00:08:48,832
His politics
transcend party lines too--
176
00:08:48,875 --> 00:08:52,836
strong family values,
moderate on economic issues,
177
00:08:52,879 --> 00:08:55,186
yet still viewed as
a progressive on social issues.
178
00:08:55,229 --> 00:08:58,058
Did this young man
attend your event?
179
00:08:59,843 --> 00:09:03,455
Uh...you'd have to talk
to the catering company.
180
00:09:03,498 --> 00:09:05,805
You know, they're in charge
of hiring the staff.
181
00:09:05,849 --> 00:09:09,026
Young and Black--
gotta be hired help.
182
00:09:09,069 --> 00:09:11,245
I wasn't suggesting that--
183
00:09:11,289 --> 00:09:16,468
I mean, most of the invitees
were between 50 and 60,
184
00:09:16,511 --> 00:09:18,296
you know, people I know.
185
00:09:18,339 --> 00:09:20,690
Is it possible the man was
a guest of someone you know?
186
00:09:20,733 --> 00:09:22,169
- Sure.
- How many people
187
00:09:22,213 --> 00:09:25,608
were at the event?
- A...hundred?
188
00:09:25,651 --> 00:09:29,089
You know, not including help.
189
00:09:29,133 --> 00:09:31,439
Did this event space
have security cameras?
190
00:09:31,483 --> 00:09:35,835
Yes, but I insisted that the
gallery owner deactivate them.
191
00:09:35,879 --> 00:09:38,229
Why is that?
192
00:09:38,272 --> 00:09:41,841
Well, because I want people
to feel comfortable,
193
00:09:41,885 --> 00:09:44,365
to enjoy themselves,
not to have to worry
194
00:09:44,409 --> 00:09:46,933
about saying
or doing the wrong things.
195
00:09:46,977 --> 00:09:49,370
It's how you raise money, Detective.
196
00:09:49,414 --> 00:09:51,938
I'll keep that in mind.
197
00:09:51,982 --> 00:09:54,114
Before we go,
do you mind giving us the name
198
00:09:54,158 --> 00:09:56,377
of that catering company,
if you don't mind?
199
00:09:58,510 --> 00:10:02,470
Mm-hmm, okay, thanks.
200
00:10:02,514 --> 00:10:03,820
Just talked to the caterer.
201
00:10:03,863 --> 00:10:05,430
They didn't recognize
Darien's photo.
202
00:10:05,473 --> 00:10:10,478
So contrary to Swanson's
belief, he was not a waiter.
203
00:10:10,522 --> 00:10:13,568
He was a guest.
Any luck?
204
00:10:13,612 --> 00:10:16,136
Yeah, I just found video of
Darien a few hundred yards away
205
00:10:16,180 --> 00:10:19,052
from the art gallery
about 8:45 p.m.
206

Can you zoom in
on that other guy?
207
00:10:23,535 --> 00:10:24,710
It's pretty good resolution.
208
00:10:24,754 --> 00:10:25,885
I'll send it over
to Facial Rec.
209
00:10:25,929 --> 00:10:29,672
No need.
That's our guest of honor,

Take it easy, guys.
217
00:10:50,518 --> 00:10:53,434
We just wanna talk.
- About what?
218
00:10:53,478 --> 00:10:55,088
Last night's fundraiser.
219
00:10:55,132 --> 00:10:58,352
Or we can take a ride up to
your home in Connecticut,
220
00:10:58,396 --> 00:11:00,964
if you'd prefer.
221
00:11:01,007 --> 00:11:03,488
No need.
It's all good.
222
00:11:03,531 --> 00:11:05,620
Come on, let's walk.
223
00:11:06,926 --> 00:11:09,755
So what can I do for you?
- You know this young man?
224
00:11:09,799 --> 00:11:12,540
- Looks vaguely familiar, but--
- How 'bout now?
225
00:11:14,151 --> 00:11:15,848
He look more familiar?
226
00:11:18,024 --> 00:11:19,547
That's you, isn't it?
227
00:11:23,377 --> 00:11:25,510
Like I said earlier,
the senator is willing
228
00:11:25,553 --> 00:11:27,686
to answer questions
off the record.
229
00:11:27,730 --> 00:11:30,341
- No such thing.
- Then he's not talking.
230
00:11:30,384 --> 00:11:32,169
Choice number two.
231
00:11:32,212 --> 00:11:33,823
We do a deep dive
on the senator,
232
00:11:33,866 --> 00:11:36,695
start asking lots
of questions--lots.
233
00:11:36,739 --> 00:11:39,089
We open a grand jury--
- Is that a threat?
234
00:11:39,132 --> 00:11:40,351
No, it's a statement of fact.
235
00:11:40,394 --> 00:11:42,309
This is
a homicide investigation.
236
00:11:42,353 --> 00:11:44,224
Do you understand?
237
00:11:45,878 --> 00:11:47,314
Okay.
238
00:11:49,577 --> 00:11:51,841
I met Darien last night.
239
00:11:51,884 --> 00:11:54,713
But hold on a second.
You said he's dead?
240
00:11:54,757 --> 00:11:57,237
What are you talking about?
- Died of a meth overdose.
241
00:11:57,281 --> 00:11:59,892
A woman found his naked body
on the street this morning.
242
00:11:59,936 --> 00:12:01,633
I had no idea.
243
00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:05,419
Oh, that's terrible.
- Sure is.
244
00:12:05,463 --> 00:12:08,422
I left the fundraiser
at about 8:45,
245
00:12:08,466 --> 00:12:11,469
and then I went uptown
to Kyle Swanson's townhouse.
246
00:12:11,512 --> 00:12:13,558
He was having a few people
over for drinks.
247
00:12:13,601 --> 00:12:15,778
- And you took Darien with you?
- Yes.
248
00:12:15,821 --> 00:12:18,868
So you and Darien drove
uptown to this after-party.
249
00:12:18,911 --> 00:12:20,478
What time did you get there,
9:00 or so?
250
00:12:20,521 --> 00:12:23,089
- Something like that.
- How many people were there?
251
00:12:23,133 --> 00:12:26,440
- Ten.
- Boys and girls, or...
252
00:12:26,484 --> 00:12:27,877
Just boys.
253
00:12:29,617 --> 00:12:31,489
How long
did you and Darien stay?
254
00:12:31,532 --> 00:12:33,926
About an hour,
maybe a little bit more.
255
00:12:33,970 --> 00:12:37,582
But... I wasn't with Darien.
256
00:12:37,625 --> 00:12:40,541
Like I said,
I just gave him a ride.
257
00:12:40,585 --> 00:12:44,415
- What'd you do at this party?
- Drinking, socializing.
258
00:12:44,458 --> 00:12:46,809
Care to be more specific?
259
00:12:50,725 --> 00:12:54,033
People were, you know,
hooking up with each other.
260
00:12:54,077 --> 00:12:56,470
- Did you hook up?
- I did.
261
00:12:56,514 --> 00:13:00,561
- With Darien?
- No. Someone else.
262
00:13:00,605 --> 00:13:02,955
His name was Walter.
- Were there any drugs?
263
00:13:02,999 --> 00:13:04,391
Absolutely not.
264
00:13:04,435 --> 00:13:06,872
There's no way
I'd stand for any of that.
265
00:13:06,916 --> 00:13:09,919
But cheating on your wife,
that's no big deal?
266
00:13:09,962 --> 00:13:12,269
Look, I'm sorry
this young man is dead.
267
00:13:12,312 --> 00:13:15,925
But I didn't see any drugs.
I don't know what happened.
268

When I left
Swanson's townhouse,
269

Are we really still talking

- Yes, we really are.
- This is absurd.
276

Oh, it gets even more absurd.
We have a search warrant,
277
00:13:42,995 --> 00:13:45,345
which means we don't even need
your consent to be in here.

a colloquialism.
282
00:13:53,353 --> 00:13:55,616
A colloquialism I don't like.

You said

Yes.
317

- Was he doin' drugs?
- Not to my knowledge.

and naked in your MD suitcase?

00:15:44,377 --> 00:15:45,639
Not sure.
320
00:15:45,683 --> 00:15:47,946
He could've gone out
after I fell asleep.

Like I said, it was a very
casual relationship.

00:17:00,627 --> 00:17:03,326
it was just Swanson and Darien
in the townhouse.
350
00:17:03,369 --> 00:17:06,068
And then he probably
wheeled him down 10th Street
351
00:17:06,111 --> 00:17:07,852
and then dumps the body.
352
00:17:07,895 --> 00:17:10,376
Time frame works, but we
still don't have anything
353
00:17:10,420 --> 00:17:12,944
that proves Swanson shot him
up, and since it was just
354
00:17:12,987 --> 00:17:14,946
the two of them,
we may never find it.
355
00:17:14,989 --> 00:17:18,210
This isn't
Swanson's maiden voyage.
356
00:17:18,254 --> 00:17:21,083
He gets off on shootin'
dudes up like Darien.
357
00:17:21,126 --> 00:17:22,997
Trust me.
- How do you know?
358
00:17:23,041 --> 00:17:25,043
It doesn't matter.
I know.
359
00:17:25,087 --> 00:17:29,265
I got a feeling.
So talk to Darien's friends.
360
00:17:29,308 --> 00:17:31,528
Find out
how he and Swanson met.
361
00:17:32,485 --> 00:17:34,618
There's a good chance
that he met other young men
362
00:17:34,661 --> 00:17:37,229
the same way
and shot them up too.
363
00:17:39,362 --> 00:17:41,277
I can't believe he's dead.
364
00:17:41,320 --> 00:17:43,757
I talked to him a few days ago.
365
00:17:43,801 --> 00:17:45,672
Sounded like things were going
really well.
366
00:17:45,716 --> 00:17:48,022
You and Darien, you would
text back and forth, correct?
367
00:17:48,066 --> 00:17:50,024
Yeah, we were friends.
368
00:17:50,068 --> 00:17:53,202
And Darien sent you these,
correct?
369
00:17:53,245 --> 00:17:54,855
- Yeah.
- So the person, TBM,
370
00:17:54,899 --> 00:17:58,468
he's referencing in the text,
is that Kyle Swanson?
371
00:17:58,511 --> 00:18:01,558
He used to call him
The Big Man...
372
00:18:01,601 --> 00:18:04,126
'cause he was rich
and important and all that.
373
00:18:04,169 --> 00:18:06,389
- Do you know Swanson too?
- No.
374
00:18:06,432 --> 00:18:09,174
I never met him,
but I saw him around.
375
00:18:09,218 --> 00:18:12,177
He comes here a lot.
376
00:18:13,744 --> 00:18:18,966
He only talks to pretty
young Black men, like Darien.
377
00:18:19,010 --> 00:18:21,534
- They met here?
- Yeah.
378
00:18:21,578 --> 00:18:23,362
You know anybody else
Swanson would party with?
379
00:18:23,406 --> 00:18:27,932
Um...yeah.
His name's Andre.
380
00:18:27,975 --> 00:18:30,239
used to be a bartender here.
381
00:18:33,111 --> 00:18:37,855
That man is pure evil.
He almost put me in the ground.
382
00:18:37,898 --> 00:18:39,987
How?
383
00:18:40,031 --> 00:18:45,167
Would shoot me up with meth.
He wouldn't stop either,
384
00:18:45,210 --> 00:18:48,213
no matter
how many times I asked.
385
00:18:48,257 --> 00:18:50,259
He just kept on goin'.
386
00:18:50,302 --> 00:18:53,436
It was like
the more I said "Stop,"
387
00:18:53,479 --> 00:18:56,221
the more excited he got.
- You shoot him up too,
388
00:18:56,265 --> 00:19:00,225
or was this one-way traffic?
- Nah man, he didn't get high.
389
00:19:00,269 --> 00:19:03,359
He gets off on power
and the abuse.
390
00:19:04,186 --> 00:19:06,144
What kind of abuse?
391
00:19:10,279 --> 00:19:15,197
He'd, uh, tell me
to take off my clothes,
392
00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:20,941
and he'd tell me to pretend
like I was his...
393
00:19:20,985 --> 00:19:23,205
servant.
394
00:19:23,248 --> 00:19:25,076
He would use a different word,
of course.
395
00:19:25,119 --> 00:19:28,253
But I refuse
to say it out loud.
396
00:19:28,297 --> 00:19:34,433
Then, uh, he'd tie me up and
start to shoot me up with meth.
397
00:19:34,477 --> 00:19:35,826
He would just watch you
get high?
398
00:19:35,869 --> 00:19:38,698
That was exciting to him?
399
00:19:38,742 --> 00:19:40,309
No, man.
400
00:19:40,352 --> 00:19:43,007
It was way more screwed up
than that.
401
00:19:43,050 --> 00:19:46,445
It was like he would walk
your ass up to heaven's gates
402
00:19:46,489 --> 00:19:49,883
and decide whether or not
you get to live or die.
403
00:19:49,927 --> 00:19:52,277
Sick son of a bitch thought
he was God or something.
404
00:19:52,321 --> 00:19:54,018
How many times
did he slam you?
405
00:19:54,061 --> 00:19:55,237
Four times.
406
00:19:55,280 --> 00:19:56,847
The last time,
I was in the hospital
407
00:19:56,890 --> 00:20:00,024
for six days in a coma.
408
00:20:00,067 --> 00:20:02,635
Why didn't you
alert the police?
409
00:20:02,679 --> 00:20:04,855
He's rich.
410
00:20:04,898 --> 00:20:08,032
He has all kinds
of important friends.
411
00:20:08,075 --> 00:20:10,208
I'm just a brotha from Georgia.
412
00:20:10,252 --> 00:20:11,992
I gotta ask...
413
00:20:12,036 --> 00:20:14,995
if you hated it so much,
why'd you let him do it to you?
414
00:20:15,039 --> 00:20:18,999
I have a mother and three
little sisters back home.
415
00:20:19,043 --> 00:20:21,306
He paid you.
416
00:20:21,350 --> 00:20:23,308
10 grand per session.
417
00:20:23,352 --> 00:20:25,354
But, look, man, no more.
418
00:20:25,397 --> 00:20:28,487
I'm done with all that.
No more drugs,
419
00:20:28,531 --> 00:20:32,317
no more crazy old white men.
420
00:20:32,361 --> 00:20:34,972
Sounds like a good plan.
421
00:20:35,015 --> 00:20:38,192
Andre, I appreciate
you coming down here
422
00:20:38,236 --> 00:20:39,585
and sharing your story.
423
00:20:39,629 --> 00:20:42,588
With your help,
we are gonna nail this bastard.
424
00:20:42,632 --> 00:20:45,722
If you need anything, call me.
425
00:20:45,765 --> 00:20:52,729
♪
426
00:20:54,339 --> 00:20:55,906
What's up, Frank?
427
00:20:55,949 --> 00:20:58,822
Look, I don't mean to get
personal here, Lieu, but...
428
00:20:58,865 --> 00:21:01,694
we've known each other for,
what, seven years?
429
00:21:01,738 --> 00:21:03,348
Is there a question here?
430
00:21:03,392 --> 00:21:05,350
Yeah, what the hell
is goin' on with you?
431
00:21:05,394 --> 00:21:06,873
'Scuse me?
432
00:21:06,917 --> 00:21:09,572
I've never seen you
this fired up before.
433
00:21:09,615 --> 00:21:14,359
I mean, Darien's case...
it's sad, I get it.
434
00:21:14,403 --> 00:21:17,406
This isn't the first sad
homicide you ever worked.
435
00:21:20,583 --> 00:21:23,020
I caught a case
about two years ago.
436
00:21:23,063 --> 00:21:28,547
It was similar to this one.
Kid's name was Louis Knight.
437
00:21:28,591 --> 00:21:31,245
I found his body
at a construction site naked,
438
00:21:31,289 --> 00:21:33,944
just lying there on the ground.
439
00:21:33,987 --> 00:21:39,210
I remember it was raining too,
you know?
440
00:21:39,253 --> 00:21:42,474
One of those really cold rains
441
00:21:42,518 --> 00:21:46,478
that just wants to turn to
sleet, but it never does.
442
00:21:46,522 --> 00:21:49,133
I chased a couple leads.
It didn't go anywhere,
443
00:21:49,176 --> 00:21:51,091
and then a bunch of
new cases started coming in--
444
00:21:51,135 --> 00:21:56,314
real homicides, gunshots,
stabbings, you know,
445
00:21:56,358 --> 00:21:59,056
the kind of cases you like, Frank.
446
00:21:59,099 --> 00:22:02,059
So we closed the case--
accidental overdose.
447
00:22:04,235 --> 00:22:09,066
But now...
now, with what we know
448
00:22:09,109 --> 00:22:11,068
about this Swanson guy,
449
00:22:11,111 --> 00:22:14,506
I know that he was involved
in that kid's death too.
450
00:22:14,550 --> 00:22:17,030
There's just
too many similarities.
451
00:22:17,074 --> 00:22:19,468
I can't prove it, but--
452
00:22:22,122 --> 00:22:23,428
I need you to do me a favor.
453
00:22:23,472 --> 00:22:25,125
I need you to keep
working this case hard,
454
00:22:25,169 --> 00:22:29,478
because people like Swanson,
bullies who prey on the weak,
455
00:22:29,521 --> 00:22:32,350
they need to pay.
456
00:22:32,394 --> 00:22:34,831
They need to go down.
457
00:22:34,874 --> 00:22:40,750
♪
458
00:22:45,494 --> 00:22:47,017
His name is Andre Walker.
459
00:22:47,060 --> 00:22:49,454
He's 21 years old, Black,
460
00:22:49,498 --> 00:22:52,109
"dated" Swanson on and off
for three months.
461
00:22:52,152 --> 00:22:53,632
Swanson injected him
with meth?
462
00:22:53,676 --> 00:22:56,026
Four times, and the last time
that they were together,
463
00:22:56,069 --> 00:22:58,985
he almost died.
He told Swanson to stop.
464
00:22:59,029 --> 00:23:01,335
He wouldn't--
just kept pushing that needle,
465
00:23:01,379 --> 00:23:04,730
and Andre ends up
in a coma for six days.
466
00:23:04,774 --> 00:23:07,820
Swanson tried to kill him,
almost did too, so...
467
00:23:07,864 --> 00:23:09,387
I know where you're going.
468
00:23:09,431 --> 00:23:12,346
But under New York law, if you
inject someone with drugs,
469
00:23:12,390 --> 00:23:15,872
and they die,
it's negligent homicide.
470
00:23:15,915 --> 00:23:17,700
If they accidentally die, yeah.
471
00:23:17,743 --> 00:23:22,139
But if you want them to die?
You don't care if they die?
472
00:23:22,182 --> 00:23:24,315
That's murder.
Swanson gets off
473
00:23:24,358 --> 00:23:25,838
on bringing people
to the brink of death.
474
00:23:25,882 --> 00:23:29,625
He gets off on all of that.
So if someone actually dies,
475
00:23:29,668 --> 00:23:31,496
he's gotta pay the check.
476
00:23:31,540 --> 00:23:34,194
This all comes from
Andre's statement, correct?
477
00:23:34,238 --> 00:23:36,588
- Yeah, that's right.
- So this twisted game
478
00:23:36,632 --> 00:23:38,068
that Swanson likes to play,
479
00:23:38,111 --> 00:23:40,026
that's all based on
Andre's experience.
480
00:23:40,070 --> 00:23:41,680
I get it, Sam,
and you're right.
481
00:23:41,724 --> 00:23:43,856
But Andre wasn't a one-off.
482
00:23:43,900 --> 00:23:45,728
It is more like
the tip of the iceberg.
483
00:23:45,771 --> 00:23:47,120
What are you talking about?
484
00:23:47,164 --> 00:23:49,166
We dug into
prior meth overdoses
485
00:23:49,209 --> 00:23:52,125
in the last five years.
Five DOAs--
486
00:23:52,169 --> 00:23:54,214
all young, Black, and poor,
487
00:23:54,258 --> 00:23:56,347
and all of them
had ties to the bar
488
00:23:56,390 --> 00:23:58,349
that Swanson
loves to frequent--
489
00:23:58,392 --> 00:24:00,220
the same bar
where he met Darien and Andre.
490
00:24:00,264 --> 00:24:02,266
- If that's true--
- He's not only a killer.
491
00:24:02,309 --> 00:24:04,877
He's a serial killer.
492
00:24:06,575 --> 00:24:11,928
Other than the bar, where he
met the five alleged victims,
493
00:24:11,971 --> 00:24:13,233
is there anything else
494
00:24:13,277 --> 00:24:15,148
connecting Swanson
to five dead men?
495
00:24:15,192 --> 00:24:17,107
No,
but it's not a coincidence.
496
00:24:17,150 --> 00:24:18,587
That may be true,
but it doesn't help us
497
00:24:18,630 --> 00:24:20,676
with the present case.
Those five bodies
498
00:24:20,719 --> 00:24:22,634
are inadmissible, irrelevant.
499
00:24:22,678 --> 00:24:24,201
They may be inadmissible,
500
00:24:24,244 --> 00:24:27,073
but they are definitely
not irrelevant.
501
00:24:27,117 --> 00:24:30,729
This is a murder case, Nolan.
502
00:24:30,773 --> 00:24:32,644
I'll talk to McCoy.
503
00:24:34,603 --> 00:24:38,432
If what you're saying
is true...
504
00:24:38,476 --> 00:24:40,217
it's horrific...
505
00:24:40,260 --> 00:24:41,697
beyond comprehension.
506
00:24:41,740 --> 00:24:44,526
But can we prove
that's what actually happened
507
00:24:44,569 --> 00:24:46,179
with Darien Wilson?
508
00:24:46,223 --> 00:24:50,270
Can we actually put the needle
in Swanson's hand that night?
509
00:24:50,314 --> 00:24:54,057
Can we prove he was playing
the same twisted game
510
00:24:54,100 --> 00:24:55,362
he played with Andre?
511
00:24:55,406 --> 00:24:56,842
We're still looking
for more evidence,
512
00:24:56,886 --> 00:24:59,541
but I think it's worth a shot.
513
00:24:59,584 --> 00:25:03,588
Swanson is a very dangerous
and evil man.
514
00:25:03,632 --> 00:25:06,330
But at the moment, he's
still a very well-respected,
515
00:25:06,373 --> 00:25:10,595
very well-connected businessman
with ties to some of the most
516
00:25:10,639 --> 00:25:13,250
influential politicians
in the country.
517
00:25:13,293 --> 00:25:16,558
Not to mention,
he supported my opponent
518
00:25:16,601 --> 00:25:20,474
in the last election,
so...he'll claim we're biased--
519
00:25:22,128 --> 00:25:25,741
That this is all payback.
- What are you saying?
520
00:25:25,784 --> 00:25:30,572
If we're gonna try to kill
the king, we can't miss.
521
00:25:30,615 --> 00:25:36,447
So work closely with Dixon,
build a strong case...
522
00:25:36,490 --> 00:25:39,537
and take the son of a bitch
down for murder.
523
00:25:44,150 --> 00:25:47,501
Your Honor,
this is preposterous.
524
00:25:47,545 --> 00:25:50,548
The victim died
of an accidental overdose.
525
00:25:50,592 --> 00:25:52,855
My client had nothing
to do with his death.
526
00:25:52,898 --> 00:25:54,770
But for the sake of argument,
527
00:25:54,813 --> 00:25:57,555
even if he admitted
to injecting the victim
528
00:25:57,599 --> 00:26:00,863
with drugs,
which he absolutely does not,
529
00:26:00,906 --> 00:26:04,518
the correct charge
for such a crime is Man Two.
530
00:26:04,562 --> 00:26:07,434
Only when a crime involves
an accidental overdose.
531
00:26:07,478 --> 00:26:09,480
The defendant's actions
in this case
532
00:26:09,523 --> 00:26:11,700
showed a depraved
indifference to human life,
533
00:26:11,743 --> 00:26:13,919
which is why we are
charging him with murder.
534
00:26:13,963 --> 00:26:16,574
- But there's no evidence.
- Bail is set at 3 million.
535
00:26:16,618 --> 00:26:18,794
Your Honor,
this is outrageous!
536
00:26:18,837 --> 00:26:20,926
If it's so outrageous,
file a motion to dismiss.
537
00:26:20,970 --> 00:26:23,276
Next case.
538
00:26:27,890 --> 00:26:29,543
You'll never convict me.
539
00:26:31,937 --> 00:26:34,897
You know that, right?
540
00:26:36,028 --> 00:26:38,944
First thing we need to do is
nail down all the evidence,
541
00:26:38,988 --> 00:26:40,685
and all
the supporting documents.
542
00:26:40,729 --> 00:26:43,819
I want credit card receipts
for the Marcel Dupont luggage.
543
00:26:43,862 --> 00:26:45,821
If he bought it in a boutique,
544
00:26:45,864 --> 00:26:49,694
then find me video of him
in the actual store.
545
00:26:49,738 --> 00:26:53,567
Pull the M.E. files,
tox reports, lap reports...
546
00:26:53,611 --> 00:26:56,962
We found another witness.
Name is Jalen Brooks--
547
00:26:57,006 --> 00:26:59,225
hooked up with Swanson
three weeks ago.
548
00:26:59,269 --> 00:27:02,489
Same story as Andre,
same profile too--
549
00:27:02,533 --> 00:27:04,709
young, gay, Black, and poor.
550
00:27:04,753 --> 00:27:07,756
This bastard is clearly
targeting these men
551
00:27:07,799 --> 00:27:10,454
based on their identity,
their demographic profile.
552
00:27:10,497 --> 00:27:12,761
- Are you suggesting--
- Oh, damn right, I am.
553
00:27:12,804 --> 00:27:15,198
This is a hate crime.
554
00:27:15,241 --> 00:27:17,983
If we add that as a kicker,
555
00:27:18,027 --> 00:27:19,550
he's staring down
a 20-year minimum.
556
00:27:19,593 --> 00:27:21,857
Nothing his lawyers
or his fancy friends
557
00:27:21,900 --> 00:27:24,729
can do about it either.
558
00:27:24,773 --> 00:27:27,427
♪
559
00:27:31,127 --> 00:27:33,564
Kyle Swanson
targeted Darien Wilson,
560
00:27:33,607 --> 00:27:35,827
and two other young men,
Andre Walker and Jalen Brooks,
561
00:27:35,871 --> 00:27:37,742
based on the beliefs
562
00:27:37,786 --> 00:27:40,832
he held about race, age,
and social status--
563
00:27:40,876 --> 00:27:43,443
namely, they were
Black, young, and poor.
564
00:27:43,487 --> 00:27:47,099
To the extent he targeted
them for anything, it was sex.
565
00:27:47,143 --> 00:27:50,712
He was attracted to them.
He finds Black men beautiful.
566
00:27:50,755 --> 00:27:53,715
That is the opposite of hate.
567
00:27:53,758 --> 00:27:55,281
Actual animus is irrelevant.
568
00:27:55,325 --> 00:27:58,589
How can it be a hate crime
without actual animus?
569
00:27:58,632 --> 00:28:00,199
How can that
possibly be irrelevant?
570
00:28:00,243 --> 00:28:01,853
According to
a recent New York case,
571
00:28:01,897 --> 00:28:04,682
People v. Cooney,
the Court held,
572
00:28:04,726 --> 00:28:07,772
"If someone
intentionally selects a victim
573
00:28:07,816 --> 00:28:10,035
"because of
a belief or perception
574
00:28:10,079 --> 00:28:13,560
"regarding their race, color,
gender, gender expression,
575
00:28:13,604 --> 00:28:16,041
"or religion,
it's a hate crime,
576
00:28:16,085 --> 00:28:18,609
"regardless of whether
or not the defendant
577
00:28:18,652 --> 00:28:21,090
actually hates the victim."
578
00:28:23,092 --> 00:28:24,963
We're talking about
a middle-aged man
579
00:28:25,007 --> 00:28:27,923
attracted to young Black men.
580
00:28:28,837 --> 00:28:32,405
No, I agree with Mr. Price.
Motion granted.
581
00:28:36,975 --> 00:28:39,108
One night,
I was at his house,
582
00:28:39,151 --> 00:28:41,893
and he just started
pulling out all this meth.
583
00:28:41,937 --> 00:28:43,677
I was like,
"Yo, wassup with that?"
584
00:28:43,721 --> 00:28:47,333
He just...smiled.
585
00:28:47,377 --> 00:28:49,161
He said it'd be fun.
586
00:28:49,205 --> 00:28:52,208
Then he started
peeling off $100 bills
587
00:28:52,251 --> 00:28:53,818
and told me to say when.
588
00:28:53,862 --> 00:28:56,865
- How much did he give you?
- $12,000.
589
00:28:58,867 --> 00:29:00,999
Almost killed me.
590
00:29:02,305 --> 00:29:04,307
I'm sorry
you had to go through all that.
591
00:29:04,350 --> 00:29:06,222
So I have to
tell this story in court?
592
00:29:06,265 --> 00:29:09,225
Like...
in front of a bunch of people?
593
00:29:09,268 --> 00:29:11,793
Yes, it will help
the jury understand
594
00:29:11,836 --> 00:29:13,838
what Swanson did to Darien,
595
00:29:13,882 --> 00:29:16,710
that he likely played the same
disgusting game with him
596
00:29:16,754 --> 00:29:18,234
that he played with you.
597
00:29:18,277 --> 00:29:21,454
Except he wasn't
as lucky as you.
598
00:29:21,498 --> 00:29:23,674
He died.
599
00:29:30,376 --> 00:29:32,291
Okay.
600
00:29:32,335 --> 00:29:34,076
Yeah.
601
00:29:34,119 --> 00:29:37,296
As long as
you can lock this dude up.
602
00:29:37,340 --> 00:29:39,777
We'll do our best.
603
00:29:42,084 --> 00:29:45,870
The defendant shot up Darien
with a lethal dose
604
00:29:45,914 --> 00:29:49,831
of methamphetamine
for his own perverse pleasure.
605
00:29:52,007 --> 00:29:55,314
He loved the power,
the control.
606
00:29:55,358 --> 00:29:57,882
He liked the feeling
of playing God,
607
00:29:57,926 --> 00:30:01,843
determining whether
someone got to live or die.
608
00:30:01,886 --> 00:30:05,672
He used his syringe
as an instrument of death
609
00:30:05,716 --> 00:30:09,676
to kill an innocent
20-year-old man.
610
00:30:09,720 --> 00:30:14,507
Now, the evidence will show
that he enjoyed this twisted,
611
00:30:14,551 --> 00:30:17,554
perverse game, and
that he played it quite often.
612
00:30:17,597 --> 00:30:23,734
Sometimes, people died,
like Darien Wilson...
613
00:30:23,777 --> 00:30:26,171
and sometimes they almost died,
614
00:30:26,215 --> 00:30:29,000
like Jalen Brooks
or Andre Walker.
615
00:30:29,044 --> 00:30:33,048
But the uncertainty,
the possibility...
616
00:30:34,876 --> 00:30:36,878
Is what made it exciting.
617
00:30:38,880 --> 00:30:43,188
And that's also
what made it murder.
618
00:30:52,458 --> 00:30:57,376
Darien Wilson
had a drug problem.
619
00:30:57,420 --> 00:31:01,424
On the night of the 23rd,
he overdosed and died.
620
00:31:01,467 --> 00:31:06,472
Mr. Swanson found
his dead body in his bathroom,
621
00:31:06,516 --> 00:31:08,735
tried to revive him,
622
00:31:08,779 --> 00:31:11,913
but quickly realized
he was deceased.
623
00:31:12,739 --> 00:31:18,049
Mr. Swanson did not inject
Darien Wilson with meth.
624
00:31:18,093 --> 00:31:22,706
He did not kill Darien Wilson.
625
00:31:22,749 --> 00:31:27,450
He merely
disposed of his dead body.
626
00:31:32,281 --> 00:31:35,893
- Mr. Price?
- People call Jalen Brooks.
627
00:31:43,857 --> 00:31:45,598
What's going on?
- I don't know.
628
00:31:45,642 --> 00:31:46,991
I'm gonna check.
629
00:31:49,037 --> 00:31:52,040
Your Honor, may I approach?
630
00:31:56,740 --> 00:31:58,394
We can't locate our witness.
631
00:31:58,437 --> 00:32:00,439
Well,
I suggest you find him fast.
632
00:32:00,483 --> 00:32:01,963
You have one hour.
633
00:32:07,838 --> 00:32:09,187
Hello?
634
00:32:09,231 --> 00:32:11,059
Yeah,
lookin' for Jalen Brooks.
635
00:32:11,102 --> 00:32:13,713
Nah, he ain't here.
Who is this?
636
00:32:13,757 --> 00:32:15,019
Police.
637
00:32:15,063 --> 00:32:16,542
We need to ask you
a few questions.
638
00:32:16,586 --> 00:32:18,066
Be right there.
639
00:32:24,724 --> 00:32:25,856
We wait.
640
00:32:27,771 --> 00:32:28,946
Hm.
641
00:32:31,296 --> 00:32:36,214
So Jalen's not home, huh?
Are you sure about that?
642
00:32:36,258 --> 00:32:38,738
Yeah, he left this morning.
643
00:32:38,782 --> 00:32:41,306
Gave me 300 bucks for the rent
he owed, then he took off.
644
00:32:41,350 --> 00:32:44,222
- Where did he go?
- I don't know.
645
00:32:44,266 --> 00:32:45,919
He say when he'd be back?
646
00:32:45,963 --> 00:32:47,443
Yeah, never.
647
00:32:47,486 --> 00:32:49,314
Said New York was sucking
the life out of him.
648
00:32:49,358 --> 00:32:51,316
Do you mind if we take a look
around the apartment?
649
00:32:51,360 --> 00:32:54,102
Just to confirm all this
with our own eyes.
650
00:32:59,672 --> 00:33:01,065
You can't track him down.
651
00:33:01,109 --> 00:33:03,154
In 2022,
that's hard to believe.
652
00:33:03,198 --> 00:33:05,026
Can't buy a cup of coffee
653
00:33:05,069 --> 00:33:06,723
without leaving
a digital footprint.
654
00:33:06,766 --> 00:33:10,031
If you're in the system,
you have credit cards,
655
00:33:10,074 --> 00:33:13,556
bank cards,
registered cell phones.
656
00:33:13,599 --> 00:33:15,123
That's why Swanson targets
657
00:33:15,166 --> 00:33:17,429
guys like this
in the first place.
658
00:33:17,473 --> 00:33:20,171
Problem is we now have
only one witness
659
00:33:20,215 --> 00:33:24,001
who can establish
Swanson's pattern of conduct.
660
00:33:24,045 --> 00:33:26,047
That's an anecdote,
not a pattern.
661
00:33:26,090 --> 00:33:27,700
I know, but it's all we have.
662
00:33:27,744 --> 00:33:31,226
Then your one witness
better be persuasive.
663
00:33:31,269 --> 00:33:34,794
His story needs to be filled
with vivid details,
664
00:33:34,838 --> 00:33:37,275
specific moments, and facts.
665
00:33:37,319 --> 00:33:41,018
The jury...
not only needs to believe him,
666
00:33:41,062 --> 00:33:43,107
they need to feel sick
to their stomach
667
00:33:43,151 --> 00:33:46,589
that someone like Kyle Swanson
actually exists.
668
00:33:57,730 --> 00:33:59,732
Andre.
669
00:33:59,776 --> 00:34:01,517
What's up?
670
00:34:01,560 --> 00:34:03,649
You said if I ever needed
anything, to reach out.
671
00:34:09,786 --> 00:34:12,093
How can I help?
672
00:34:15,183 --> 00:34:18,447
I talked
to my old lawyer today,
673
00:34:18,490 --> 00:34:20,666
told him what's going on
with the trial
674
00:34:20,710 --> 00:34:23,104
and all this Swanson stuff.
675
00:34:23,147 --> 00:34:28,109
He told me...not to testify.
676
00:34:28,979 --> 00:34:32,113
I'm on parole, so if I admit
to doing drugs with Swanson,
677
00:34:32,156 --> 00:34:34,680
they'll send me back to jail.
678
00:34:34,724 --> 00:34:37,988
Andre, I get it.
679
00:34:38,031 --> 00:34:39,990
But we need your testimony.
680
00:34:41,644 --> 00:34:46,170
I can call your parole officer.
- I can't go back to jail.
681
00:34:46,214 --> 00:34:48,607
I finally got a good job,
a good life.
682
00:34:48,651 --> 00:34:52,002
If I go back inside,
I'll lose all that.
683
00:34:52,045 --> 00:34:54,047
I won't ever
get it back either.
684
00:34:54,091 --> 00:34:57,181
♪
685
00:35:01,142 --> 00:35:03,535
I'll talk to the
parole officer, explain that--
686
00:35:03,579 --> 00:35:06,103
I already did.
The guy is a real hard-ass.
687
00:35:06,147 --> 00:35:08,932
He follows the rules and
he doesn't make any exceptions.
688
00:35:08,975 --> 00:35:12,631
Well, I feel terrible about
that, but he has to testify.
689
00:35:12,675 --> 00:35:15,330
We can't win the case
without Andre.
690
00:35:15,373 --> 00:35:17,810
- Can we win it with Andre?
- Sorry?
691
00:35:17,854 --> 00:35:20,683
Look,
if we're gonna jam this kid up,
692
00:35:20,726 --> 00:35:23,251
we need to know that
we can actually win this trial.
693
00:35:23,294 --> 00:35:24,774
- I can't predict--
- I just can't blow up
694
00:35:24,817 --> 00:35:26,254
this kid's life for nothing.
695
00:35:26,297 --> 00:35:29,692
Send Andre back to jail
and have Swanson walk free.
696
00:35:29,735 --> 00:35:33,043
It's not a slam dunk, Kate.
It's just not.
697
00:35:33,086 --> 00:35:35,741
Then maybe
we let Andre slide.
698
00:35:37,700 --> 00:35:40,268
Hell, we're doing this
to help the victims, right?
699
00:35:40,311 --> 00:35:42,226
We're doing this to get
justice for the men
700
00:35:42,270 --> 00:35:44,707
that Swanson abused--
men like Andre.
701
00:35:44,750 --> 00:35:47,492
We can't just victimize them
all over again.
702
00:35:49,494 --> 00:35:51,801
If Swanson walks,
703
00:35:51,844 --> 00:35:54,238
he will be
even more emboldened.
704
00:35:54,282 --> 00:35:57,633
He will continue to prey on
more vulnerable young men.
705
00:35:57,676 --> 00:36:00,375
So what,
we're just gonna sacrifice
706
00:36:00,418 --> 00:36:02,246
Andre for the greater good?
707
00:36:02,290 --> 00:36:03,769
I don't wanna hurt this guy
any more than you do.
708
00:36:03,813 --> 00:36:06,729
But he is
legally obliged to testify
709
00:36:06,772 --> 00:36:08,948
regardless of his
personal circumstances.
710
00:36:08,992 --> 00:36:11,516
With all due respect,
it's not my fault
711
00:36:11,560 --> 00:36:13,692
that he chose
to violate his parole,
712
00:36:13,736 --> 00:36:16,347
that he chose to do meth
with Kyle Swanson.
713
00:36:16,391 --> 00:36:18,175
Really?
You're blaming him now?
714
00:36:18,219 --> 00:36:22,397
I'm not blaming him.
I'm just speaking the truth.
715
00:36:22,440 --> 00:36:25,704
You're the one who pushed me
to go for broke--go for murder.
716
00:36:25,748 --> 00:36:29,186
You don't get to walk that back
now in the middle of the trial.
717
00:36:29,230 --> 00:36:31,971
It's not how this works.
718
00:36:32,015 --> 00:36:34,322
Okay.
719
00:36:34,365 --> 00:36:37,107
But we need to win.
720
00:36:40,153 --> 00:36:43,592
♪
721
00:36:43,635 --> 00:36:46,508
I begged him to stop...
722
00:36:46,551 --> 00:36:49,511
told him my heart was racin',
723
00:36:49,554 --> 00:36:51,252
that I was gonna die, but...
724
00:36:54,907 --> 00:36:59,172
He just smiled,
said I didn't deserve to live--
725
00:37:00,870 --> 00:37:04,874
That I was useless.
- Wait, he said that?
726
00:37:04,917 --> 00:37:10,140
The defendant said
you don't deserve to live?
727
00:37:10,183 --> 00:37:12,098
Yeah.
728
00:37:12,142 --> 00:37:17,713
What else do you remember
about that terrifying moment?
729
00:37:20,498 --> 00:37:22,326
He had this crazy look
in his eye.
730
00:37:25,068 --> 00:37:28,245
He was smilin'
like he was enjoying it.
731
00:37:28,289 --> 00:37:30,378
What happened next?
732
00:37:30,421 --> 00:37:33,772
I woke up in the hospital
six days later.
733
00:37:35,513 --> 00:37:37,123
Some doctor was there,
734
00:37:37,167 --> 00:37:39,996
said he couldn't believe
I was alive,
735
00:37:40,039 --> 00:37:42,912
said he was convinced
I was gonna die.
736
00:37:46,785 --> 00:37:48,134
Nothing further.
737
00:37:51,964 --> 00:37:54,619
You like to date
older, rich men, correct?
738
00:37:54,663 --> 00:37:56,099
Objection, relevance.
739
00:37:56,142 --> 00:37:58,928
Who goes to the defendant's
character, Your Honor.
740
00:37:58,971 --> 00:38:01,409
Overruled, but be careful,
Mr. Harris.
741
00:38:01,452 --> 00:38:02,932
Get to the point.
742
00:38:02,975 --> 00:38:06,370
When you date
these older, wealthy men,
743
00:38:06,414 --> 00:38:08,590
you accept gifts, correct?
744
00:38:08,633 --> 00:38:10,896
- Sometimes.
- And money?
745
00:38:12,637 --> 00:38:13,943
Yeah, every once in a while.
746
00:38:13,986 --> 00:38:15,988
- So you're a prostitute?
- No.
747
00:38:17,816 --> 00:38:19,862
I'm not a prostitute.
748
00:38:19,905 --> 00:38:23,256
But if a guy wants to
give me money, I take it.
749
00:38:23,300 --> 00:38:26,695
In exchange for sex,
which I believe
750
00:38:26,738 --> 00:38:29,001
is the literal definition
of prostitution.
751
00:38:29,045 --> 00:38:30,612
- Objection.
- Sustained.
752
00:38:30,655 --> 00:38:32,788
Move on, Mr. Harris.
753
00:38:32,831 --> 00:38:35,356
You said earlier
that Mr. Swanson
754
00:38:35,399 --> 00:38:37,967
injected you with meth,
755
00:38:38,010 --> 00:38:40,273
that you didn't
inject yourself.
756
00:38:40,317 --> 00:38:42,754
- Right.
- But you're a drug addict,
757
00:38:42,798 --> 00:38:45,409
correct?
I mean, you've been convicted
758
00:38:45,453 --> 00:38:48,804
two times for possession
and once for distribution.
759
00:38:48,847 --> 00:38:51,459
- Objection.
- Goes to credibility.
760
00:38:51,502 --> 00:38:53,417
Overruled.
761
00:38:53,461 --> 00:38:54,679
Answer the question.
762
00:38:57,378 --> 00:38:59,336
Yes.
763
00:38:59,380 --> 00:39:02,426
I did drugs,
but I'm not an addict.
764
00:39:02,470 --> 00:39:04,297
And I never shoot up--
765
00:39:04,341 --> 00:39:07,039
only with Swanson
'cause he paid me.
766
00:39:08,911 --> 00:39:14,307
He paid you?
So you not only have sex
767
00:39:14,351 --> 00:39:17,006
for money,
but you do drugs for money?
768
00:39:17,049 --> 00:39:18,442
Is there anything else
you do for money?
769
00:39:18,486 --> 00:39:20,052
You know what,
let me rephrase that.
770
00:39:20,096 --> 00:39:22,794
Is there anything
you wouldn't do for money?
771
00:39:22,838 --> 00:39:24,883
- Objection!
- Sustained.
772
00:39:26,711 --> 00:39:29,322
Nothing further.
773
00:39:54,957 --> 00:39:58,264
- Have you reached a verdict?
- Yes, Your Honor.
774
00:39:58,308 --> 00:40:00,092
Accused and Counsel,
please rise.
775
00:40:05,576 --> 00:40:07,012
What say you?
776
00:40:07,056 --> 00:40:09,014
On the count
of Murder in the Second Degree,
777
00:40:09,058 --> 00:40:11,582
we find the defendant guilty.
778
00:40:11,626 --> 00:40:14,193
This is outrageous!
779
00:40:14,237 --> 00:40:16,631
I am innocent!
I am innocent!
780
00:40:16,674 --> 00:40:17,893
Order!
781
00:40:17,936 --> 00:40:19,895
Don't you touch me.
Don't you touch me.
782
00:40:19,938 --> 00:40:22,550
Get your hands off me!
Get your hands off me!
783
00:40:22,593 --> 00:40:23,725
I will have your job!
- Order!
784
00:40:23,768 --> 00:40:24,943
- You're finished!
- Order!
785
00:40:24,987 --> 00:40:27,250
You're done!
I will take his job!
786
00:40:27,293 --> 00:40:29,557
I know people!
Keep your hands off me!
787
00:40:29,600 --> 00:40:31,297
Don't touch me!
788
00:40:36,955 --> 00:40:39,175
Nice job, Nolan.
789
00:40:40,785 --> 00:40:44,528
Can I buy you a drink?
790
00:40:44,572 --> 00:40:46,443
Celebrate our victory?
791
00:40:46,487 --> 00:40:49,098
Thanks, but I'm meeting up
with the head of parole.
792
00:40:49,141 --> 00:40:51,274
I wanna put in
a good word for Andre.
793
00:40:51,317 --> 00:40:52,928
Probably
won't make a difference,
794
00:40:52,971 --> 00:40:56,018
but it's worth a shot.
