who investigate crime,

00:09:42,248 --> 00:09:44,079
Every time you're around,
we bust them.
180
00:09:44,150 --> 00:09:45,811
Then you get
your stuff from nobody.
181
00:09:45,885 --> 00:09:47,546
My ass.
You can't pull that.
182
00:09:47,687 --> 00:09:49,382
What, are you joking?
Your ass!
183
00:09:49,455 --> 00:09:50,649
[Briscoe chattering]
184
00:09:50,723 --> 00:09:52,623
Tell me about Skate.
185
00:09:53,492 --> 00:09:55,187
You don't believe me?
186
00:09:55,294 --> 00:09:57,353
Everybody,
call Legal Aid,
187
00:09:57,430 --> 00:09:59,660
tell them to meet you
down at Central Booking.
188
00:09:59,765 --> 00:10:01,494
Everybody goes in.
189
00:10:02,001 --> 00:10:03,332
Everybody but Angel.
190
00:10:03,402 --> 00:10:05,370
He takes a walk
to testify against you.
191
00:10:05,438 --> 00:10:07,235
Hey, man. Easy.
192
00:10:07,540 --> 00:10:08,734
Relax.
193
00:10:14,981 --> 00:10:16,573
Name's Jonas Stark.

[Angel sniffing]
195
00:10:18,584 --> 00:10:21,109
Skate took somebody down
for a stash.
196
00:10:21,187 --> 00:10:23,747
He owes plenty.
He's scared.
197
00:10:24,824 --> 00:10:26,792
He's wearir eyes
on his shoes.
198
00:10:26,892 --> 00:10:29,122
You won't find him
at his place.
199
00:10:29,195 --> 00:10:31,390
Try 1868 Lex.
200

Name on the mailbox:
Keisha White.
201
00:10:35,901 --> 00:10:37,391
It's the girlfriend's place.
202
00:10:37,470 --> 00:10:39,370
I ain't seen the guy
in a couple of days.
203
00:10:39,438 --> 00:10:41,133
Maybe he's out of
town on vacation.
204
00:10:41,207 --> 00:10:42,868
Yeah, a weekend
in the Bahamas.
205
00:10:42,942 --> 00:10:44,842
So, what about the girlfriend?
206
00:10:45,177 --> 00:10:46,508
Two, three days ago,
207
00:10:46,579 --> 00:10:48,274
I seen her go in there
with a six-pack.
208
00:10:48,347 --> 00:10:49,507
There's no answer here.
209
00:10:49,582 --> 00:10:51,607
I'm gonna have to call
someone to smash it in.
210
00:10:51,684 --> 00:10:54,016
Hey, you... you guys tell me
it's okay, I open it up.
211
00:10:54,086 --> 00:10:56,213
Yeah, it's called
exigent circumstances.
212
00:10:56,355 --> 00:10:58,323
A felon in flight.
Go ahead, open it.

[Whispers]
22.
218
00:11:23,315 --> 00:11:24,839
What's happenir?
219
00:11:25,785 --> 00:11:27,616
What's goir on?
220
00:11:28,087 --> 00:11:29,520
You all cops
or somethir?
221
00:11:29,588 --> 00:11:33,183
No. We're here to tell you
that you won the lottery.
222
00:11:34,260 --> 00:11:35,557
Is that Skate?
223
00:11:36,128 --> 00:11:37,595
Yeah, uh-huh.
224
00:11:38,497 --> 00:11:41,330
Hello, Skate.
Friend of yours sent us.
225
00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:42,958
Lady named Dawn.
226
00:11:43,035 --> 00:11:45,333
Only dawn I know
is before sunrise.
227
00:11:45,971 --> 00:11:46,995
[Sighs]
228
00:11:47,073 --> 00:11:48,870
You gotta have
a warrant to be in here.
229
00:11:48,941 --> 00:11:50,135
Warrant this!
230
00:11:50,209 --> 00:11:52,507
Where's your appointment book
for Tuesday night?
231
00:11:52,578 --> 00:11:54,671
You ain't gonna find
no drugs here.
232
00:11:54,747 --> 00:11:56,715
Uh-huh. How about
we pump your belly?
233
00:11:56,782 --> 00:11:57,908
Tuesday, Skate.
234
00:11:58,050 --> 00:11:59,483
Tell him, Keisha.
235
00:11:59,552 --> 00:12:01,782
Uh, we been here
since July.
236
00:12:02,121 --> 00:12:03,418
[Siren wailing]
237
00:12:05,658 --> 00:12:07,853
I'll bet you lost
the permit to this gun.
238
00:12:07,927 --> 00:12:09,895
I bet you find it
in my wallet.
239
00:12:09,962 --> 00:12:13,056
Registered State of New York,
target permit.
240
00:12:13,532 --> 00:12:14,897
Oh, yeah?
241
00:12:15,201 --> 00:12:17,169
How about a bigger
caliber gun, Jonas?
242
00:12:17,236 --> 00:12:18,498
Like a.45?
243
00:12:18,571 --> 00:12:21,005
I handle business,
not guns.
244
00:12:21,173 --> 00:12:23,664
That's a bad-lookir cut
you got there.
245
00:12:25,077 --> 00:12:26,908
Forgot to pray yesterday.
246
00:12:27,012 --> 00:12:28,604
The good Lord,
he made me slip,
247
00:12:28,681 --> 00:12:30,080
hit the radiator.
248
00:12:30,382 --> 00:12:32,043
I got to get
to church more.
249
00:12:32,218 --> 00:12:34,846
You hit Dawrs table
while you were slappir her around,
250
00:12:34,920 --> 00:12:36,649
and then you put
a bullet in her chest.
251
00:12:36,722 --> 00:12:38,952
I ain't seen
Dawn for weeks.
252
00:12:39,358 --> 00:12:41,417
(Briscoe)
You said you never even heard of her.
253
00:12:41,494 --> 00:12:42,620
Jonas Stark,
254
00:12:42,728 --> 00:12:45,128
you're under arrest
for the murder of Dawn Bryan.
255
00:12:45,197 --> 00:12:46,789
You have the right
to remain silent.
256
00:12:47,233 --> 00:12:48,325
[Phone ringing]
257
00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:50,425
What, you want to leave him
at Central Booking?
258
00:12:50,503 --> 00:12:51,629
I don't want him arraigned
259
00:12:51,704 --> 00:12:53,797
till your witnesses shine
headlights in his face.
260
00:12:53,873 --> 00:12:55,636
Terrific,
send it on over.
261
00:12:55,775 --> 00:12:57,003
Here's a headlight.
262
00:12:57,109 --> 00:12:59,737
A year ago,
that liquor store robbery on Skate's yellow sheet.
263
00:12:59,812 --> 00:13:01,939
Yeah, he did six months.
Accessory.
264
00:13:02,014 --> 00:13:03,572
They dug a slug
out of the wall.
265
00:13:03,649 --> 00:13:05,446
Same gun.
He used it before.
266
00:13:05,518 --> 00:13:06,712
The slug from the robbery
267
00:13:06,786 --> 00:13:09,084
matches the slug
from Dawn Bryars body.
268
00:13:09,155 --> 00:13:11,419
One: You don't have the.45.
269
00:13:11,490 --> 00:13:14,152
Two: There was a woman
involved in that robbery they never found.
270
00:13:14,226 --> 00:13:16,217
Three: A lawyer with
shoe polish for brains says
271
00:13:16,295 --> 00:13:17,956
that woman
was Dawn Bryan,
272
00:13:18,030 --> 00:13:19,497
the gun was hers,
not Skate's.
273
00:13:19,565 --> 00:13:22,796
Ipso, ergo, and therefore,
Skate takes a walk.
274
00:13:23,169 --> 00:13:25,467
Where did he ditch
that damn gun?
275
00:13:25,704 --> 00:13:26,693
[Sighs]
276
00:13:26,772 --> 00:13:28,000
You wanna keep him?
277
00:13:28,073 --> 00:13:30,439
Get your witnesses,
march them past the glass.
278
00:13:30,509 --> 00:13:32,136
Identify him
as her dealer.
279
00:13:32,211 --> 00:13:34,008
Put him there
the day it happened.
280
00:13:35,681 --> 00:13:38,650
(Rosemary)
I didn't see him that day. It was a couple of weeks ago.
281
00:13:38,717 --> 00:13:39,911
That's okay.
282
00:13:39,985 --> 00:13:41,748
Do you remember
seeing any of these men
283
00:13:41,821 --> 00:13:43,516
come out of Dawn Bryars
apartment?
284
00:13:43,589 --> 00:13:46,023
I think maybe Number 2.
285
00:13:48,594 --> 00:13:49,583
[Sighs]
286
00:13:50,095 --> 00:13:51,960
Number 2,
step forward.
287
00:13:55,201 --> 00:13:56,725
There's no hurry,
Miss Lee.
288
00:13:56,802 --> 00:13:58,099
We have
till Kingdom come.
289
00:13:58,170 --> 00:13:59,330
(Bell)
Detective.
290
00:14:00,606 --> 00:14:01,732
Yeah?
291
00:14:01,807 --> 00:14:04,367
You are dangerously close
to coaching her.
292
00:14:04,443 --> 00:14:06,377
Once more and
this line-up is dead.
293
00:14:06,445 --> 00:14:08,379
Could be Number 3.
294
00:14:09,315 --> 00:14:11,545
Number 3,
step forward.
295
00:14:14,086 --> 00:14:16,316
I saw him around
in the hall.
296
00:14:16,455 --> 00:14:19,856
He was the one.
He sold her drugs.
297
00:14:20,092 --> 00:14:21,320
Thank you, Miss Lee.
298
00:14:21,393 --> 00:14:22,985
Here, let me show you out.
299
00:14:24,029 --> 00:14:25,860
That doesn't even
open up the store,
300
00:14:25,931 --> 00:14:27,296
let alone
give you a sale.
301
00:14:27,366 --> 00:14:30,062
You can't put him there
at the time of the murder.
302
00:14:30,736 --> 00:14:34,069
Counselor,
we have one more dance on our card. A waltz.
303
00:14:34,173 --> 00:14:37,165
And your client's
gonna be doir it in Dannemora.
304
00:14:38,277 --> 00:14:39,904
Ain't none of them.
305
00:14:39,979 --> 00:14:41,742
Miss Gomez,
you barely even looked.
306
00:14:41,814 --> 00:14:43,475
You wanna just
take your time?
307
00:14:44,516 --> 00:14:46,950
I don't see him.
I got bad eyes.
308
00:14:47,953 --> 00:14:50,183
I'm late for the dentist.
Can I go now?
309
00:14:50,256 --> 00:14:52,315
Yeah. Next time you wanna
get rid of dealers,
310
00:14:52,391 --> 00:14:54,291
call the Fire Department.
Go ahead.
311
00:14:55,160 --> 00:14:56,991
No weapon,
no witness, no motive,
312
00:14:57,062 --> 00:14:58,859
and my client
has an alibi.
313
00:14:58,931 --> 00:15:00,228
Yeah, a girl so stoned
314
00:15:00,299 --> 00:15:02,961
she thinks the day
is 240 hours long.
315
00:15:03,035 --> 00:15:05,230
You know that waltz
my client is gonna do?
316
00:15:05,304 --> 00:15:07,295
It dances him
out of here.
317
00:15:08,407 --> 00:15:09,533
Now.
318
00:15:09,842 --> 00:15:11,002
[Sighs]
319
00:15:14,013 --> 00:15:15,310
(Logan)
Jonas Stark.
320
00:15:17,950 --> 00:15:19,850
That room needs
a paint job.
321
00:15:20,152 --> 00:15:21,346
You need
a better suit.
322
00:15:21,420 --> 00:15:24,116
And your coffee stinks,
praise the Lord.
323
00:15:24,189 --> 00:15:25,178
[Door closing]

[People chattering]
326
00:15:34,166 --> 00:15:35,929
The son of a bitch
knew he'd walk.
327
00:15:36,001 --> 00:15:38,094
We'll stake him out.
Round the clock.
328
00:15:38,170 --> 00:15:40,263
Meantime,
we have no witness.
329
00:15:40,339 --> 00:15:42,102
Do we have a motive?
330
00:15:42,207 --> 00:15:43,697
A crack dealer
needs a motive?
331
00:15:43,809 --> 00:15:45,367
Maybe he's so crazy
behind the drugs,
332
00:15:45,444 --> 00:15:47,002
he kills her
just for the hell of it.
333
00:15:47,079 --> 00:15:49,479
Yeah, maybe a jury
would like something more specific.
334
00:15:49,548 --> 00:15:52,278
Here.
Skate's file from Attica.
335
00:15:52,351 --> 00:15:55,184
Same blood type
as on the table in the girl's apartment.
336
00:15:55,254 --> 00:15:57,484
(Briscoe)
That at least gets us to first base.
337
00:15:57,556 --> 00:15:59,820
Bottom of the ninth,
two outs, full count.
338
00:15:59,892 --> 00:16:02,952
The ME says she was beat up
a couple of hours before she was killed.
339
00:16:03,028 --> 00:16:05,189
Even if you put the kid
in the room to toss her,
340
00:16:05,264 --> 00:16:07,061
it doesn't prove
he pulled the trigger.
341
00:16:07,132 --> 00:16:09,930
(Logan)
Look, this girl backed away from her family, right?
342
00:16:10,002 --> 00:16:12,493
She must have had
some friends.
343
00:16:12,705 --> 00:16:15,333
She was in her second life
when time ran out.
344
00:16:15,407 --> 00:16:17,875
See if somebody from
the first one kept in touch.
345
00:16:19,778 --> 00:16:22,246
Her old friends?
Who cares?
346
00:16:22,314 --> 00:16:23,440
This is the guy
who did it.
347
00:16:23,515 --> 00:16:24,573
Why isn't
he in jail?
348
00:16:24,650 --> 00:16:25,708
(Virginia)
Lucian...
349
00:16:25,784 --> 00:16:27,547
Or would it matter more
if she was white?
350
00:16:27,619 --> 00:16:30,349
Lucian,
they're doing their job.
351
00:16:30,556 --> 00:16:31,784
We don't have anything
352
00:16:31,857 --> 00:16:34,451
linking Jonas Stark
to your sister's murder.
353
00:16:34,526 --> 00:16:36,994
Now, we're hoping

526
00:23:22,768 --> 00:23:24,759
I'd buy a company
called Cosmoline.
527
00:23:24,836 --> 00:23:26,463
They make
a good product.
528
00:23:26,872 --> 00:23:28,737
Sewage wiped the gun clean.
529
00:23:28,807 --> 00:23:31,605
Well, not clean,
but no prints.
530
00:23:31,676 --> 00:23:35,612
The clip. New, covered
in Cosmoline grease.
531
00:23:35,680 --> 00:23:37,648
Partial thumb,
full index,
532
00:23:37,716 --> 00:23:39,616
matching the prints
they sent me.
533
00:23:39,684 --> 00:23:43,017
Jonas Stark,
aka Skate.
534
00:23:43,188 --> 00:23:44,280
You're beautiful.
535
00:23:44,356 --> 00:23:45,823
Let's hope
they didn't lose him.
536
00:23:45,924 --> 00:23:47,016

[Dog barking]
539
00:23:52,297 --> 00:23:54,993
Excuse me, can you tell me
where the George Washington Bridge is?
540
00:23:55,066 --> 00:23:56,294
It's in Connecticut.
541
00:23:56,802 --> 00:23:59,236
Southwest corner,
he's makir house calls.
542
00:23:59,371 --> 00:24:01,805
I figure he took in
$1,000 in the last hour.
543
00:24:06,845 --> 00:24:08,403

(Logan)
Skate!
547
00:24:31,169 --> 00:24:32,363
No drugs, no weapon.
548
00:24:32,437 --> 00:24:34,462
All right, keep your hands
away from your body.
549
00:24:34,539 --> 00:24:36,530
Again?
You got nothir!
550
00:24:36,608 --> 00:24:37,632
Your prints, genius.
551
00:24:37,709 --> 00:24:39,404
You left them
on the gun clip.
552
00:24:40,579 --> 00:24:42,308
All right,
sing along with me, Skate.
553
00:24:42,380 --> 00:24:43,506
You know the words.
554
00:24:43,582 --> 00:24:44,640
You're under arrest.
555
00:24:44,716 --> 00:24:46,684
You have the right
to remain silent.
556
00:24:46,751 --> 00:24:48,719
Anything you do say
can and will be...
557
00:24:52,824 --> 00:24:53,654
We're ready.
558
00:24:53,725 --> 00:24:55,454
Someone gonna
read this charge?
559
00:24:55,527 --> 00:24:56,619
(man)
Docket number...
560
00:24:56,695 --> 00:24:58,094
No.
561
00:24:58,864 --> 00:25:02,561
"Docket number 6864,
People v. Jonas Stark. "
562
00:25:02,634 --> 00:25:04,898
Charge is murder
in the second degree.
563
00:25:04,970 --> 00:25:07,632
(judge)
Miss Bell, does your client have a plea?
564
00:25:08,139 --> 00:25:09,572
Not guilty.
565
00:25:10,041 --> 00:25:11,668
Back on night shift, Sally.
566
00:25:11,810 --> 00:25:13,471
Legal Aid must be
understaffed again.
567
00:25:13,545 --> 00:25:15,206
Tell me about your client.
568
00:25:15,313 --> 00:25:17,577
Mr. Stark was a dear friend
of the victim.
569
00:25:17,649 --> 00:25:19,276
He's not likely
to flee.
570
00:25:19,351 --> 00:25:21,717
Mr. Stark skipped bail
last time, robbery.
571
00:25:21,786 --> 00:25:23,310
This is homicide.
572
00:25:23,388 --> 00:25:25,720
He might want to
miss his trial.
573
00:25:25,790 --> 00:25:28,884
You have any other objections
to a substantial bail?
574
00:25:28,960 --> 00:25:31,087
Well, if Your Honor
has already decided...
575
00:25:31,162 --> 00:25:33,323
(Judge)
The Court's mind is open. Mr. Robinette?
576
00:25:33,398 --> 00:25:34,592
As Your Honor notes,
577
00:25:34,666 --> 00:25:36,827
Mr. Stark's appearance record
is not encouraging.
578
00:25:36,902 --> 00:25:38,062
We ask $500,000.
579
00:25:38,136 --> 00:25:40,696
People's request
is granted. Next.
580
00:25:40,772 --> 00:25:42,239
My client is obstinate.
581
00:25:42,641 --> 00:25:43,801
Killers often are.
582
00:25:43,942 --> 00:25:45,102
He won't plead.
583
00:25:46,111 --> 00:25:47,738
This makes him
a two-time loser.
584
00:25:47,812 --> 00:25:49,279
Mandatory nine years.
585
00:25:49,347 --> 00:25:51,747
But that's a lot better
than a conviction and 25-to-life.
586
00:25:51,816 --> 00:25:53,943
He knows.
He says he didn't do it.
587
00:25:54,019 --> 00:25:55,680
I'm tempted to believe him.
588
00:25:55,787 --> 00:25:58,415
You have many faults, Sally.
Gullible isn't one of them.
589
00:25:58,490 --> 00:26:00,117
Motive. Weapon.
590
00:26:00,191 --> 00:26:02,125
A witness who'll tell
the truth on the stand.
591
00:26:02,193 --> 00:26:03,751
I reminded him.
He reminded me
592
00:26:03,828 --> 00:26:05,625
she didn't identify him
at the line-up.
593
00:26:05,697 --> 00:26:07,688
Did you remind him his prints
are on the gun clip?
594
00:26:07,766 --> 00:26:09,427
He says
it was Dawn Bryars gun.
595
00:26:09,501 --> 00:26:11,128
He gave it to her
to protect herself.
596
00:26:11,202 --> 00:26:13,102
I guess it wasrt
protection enough.
597
00:26:13,238 --> 00:26:14,705
He has an alibi.
598
00:26:14,773 --> 00:26:16,707
You can shake her
till she's a martini,
599
00:26:16,775 --> 00:26:18,436
she won't change her mind.
600
00:26:20,445 --> 00:26:22,242
Who cares if he
doesn't want to plead?
601
00:26:22,314 --> 00:26:24,578
We got a case with balloons,
bells, and whistles.
602
00:26:24,649 --> 00:26:26,378
It makes no sense.
He goes to trial,
603
00:26:26,451 --> 00:26:28,385
we put a noose on
his neck, 25-to-life.
604
00:26:28,453 --> 00:26:29,977
Man one is nine years.
605
00:26:30,055 --> 00:26:31,682
He knows
it's a slam-dunk.
606
00:26:31,756 --> 00:26:33,314
Why doesn't he
offer to plead?
607
00:26:33,391 --> 00:26:35,325
Because he's stupid,
arrogant,
608
00:26:35,460 --> 00:26:37,428
suffers brain damage
from all those drugs.
609
00:26:37,495 --> 00:26:39,622
He pled to Robbery Three
a year ago.
610
00:26:39,698 --> 00:26:41,962
We had one witness,
no weapon.
611
00:26:42,033 --> 00:26:43,694
A lousy case.
612
00:26:43,768 --> 00:26:45,531
He didn't want to
risk a jury.
613
00:26:45,604 --> 00:26:47,094
And this time
he wants to risk it?
614
00:26:47,172 --> 00:26:48,571
Anyone else,
they'd plead faster
615
00:26:48,640 --> 00:26:50,005
than we can
speed-dial Rikers.
616
00:26:50,075 --> 00:26:51,940
Well, maybe
this Skate character
617
00:26:52,010 --> 00:26:53,705
thinks his alibi
will save him.
618
00:26:53,945 --> 00:26:55,674
Or maybe
he didn't do it.
619
00:26:55,914 --> 00:26:57,711
I only like
surprises at parties.
620
00:26:57,782 --> 00:26:59,682
Before we go to trial,
621
00:26:59,751 --> 00:27:02,151
walk through this
with the cops.
622
00:27:07,425 --> 00:27:08,551
[Phone ringing]
623
00:27:09,694 --> 00:27:11,559
Hope comes in
small packages.
624
00:27:11,763 --> 00:27:14,732
Yeah? My parents never even
had that much hope for me.
625
00:27:14,799 --> 00:27:17,666
You save your stuff
from high school, Paul?
626
00:27:17,736 --> 00:27:20,034
My mother still has
my report cards.
627
00:27:22,574 --> 00:27:23,939
What's that?
628
00:27:25,944 --> 00:27:28,174
Trunk?
Jewelry box?
629
00:27:29,314 --> 00:27:32,374
Square notches.
Safe-deposit box.
630
00:27:33,084 --> 00:27:34,676
She's hittir
everybody for money.
631
00:27:34,753 --> 00:27:36,311
Why would she need one?
632
00:27:37,589 --> 00:27:41,582
"Broderick, Bronson,
Broom, Bryson."
633
00:27:41,826 --> 00:27:43,054
No Dawn Bryan?
634
00:27:43,128 --> 00:27:44,288
I'm afraid not.
635
00:27:44,529 --> 00:27:45,723

Oh, Mary Tillar,
I know her.

Been banking here
for years.
639
00:27:53,304 --> 00:27:54,601
Lovely old woman.

George, it says here
Mrs. Tillar was just in.
641

Couple or
three weeks ago.
642
00:27:59,244 --> 00:28:00,438
She had a lady with her,
643
00:28:00,512 --> 00:28:02,070
she said
it was her granddaughter.
644
00:28:02,147 --> 00:28:03,205
The girl needed help.
645
00:28:03,281 --> 00:28:04,908
From her grandmother?
From a doctor.
646
00:28:04,983 --> 00:28:06,644
That girl had been
stomped on.
647
00:28:07,285 --> 00:28:09,947
I ask what happened,
Mrs. Tillar says car accident.
648
00:28:10,255 --> 00:28:12,746
Car with two fists
made out of brass.
649
00:28:13,158 --> 00:28:15,786
Did you pay attention to
everything, or just the lady?
650
00:28:15,894 --> 00:28:17,486
Mrs. Tillar
take anything with her?
651
00:28:17,562 --> 00:28:18,688
A big envelope.
652
00:28:18,763 --> 00:28:20,196
Not like she wanted to.
653
00:28:20,265 --> 00:28:23,098
I think she wanted to
be anyplace but here.

[Car honking]
655
00:28:28,239 --> 00:28:31,436
Oh, no.
No, I didn't go for Dawn.
656
00:28:31,576 --> 00:28:33,806
She just walked me
to the bank.
657
00:28:34,312 --> 00:28:36,974
You happened to be on the way
to your safe-deposit box?
658
00:28:37,048 --> 00:28:40,108
It's a habit. My late
husband got me into it.
659
00:28:40,185 --> 00:28:42,483
I sometimes just
check my papers.
660

Assistant District Attorney.
661
00:28:44,756 --> 00:28:46,587
Your mother
must be very proud.
662
00:28:47,492 --> 00:28:50,518
The people at the bank
remember you took something with you.
663
00:28:50,829 --> 00:28:52,387
My grandson Lucian,
664
00:28:52,464 --> 00:28:54,432
he's thinkir
he might be a lawyer.
665
00:28:55,700 --> 00:28:59,136
You told the clerk at the bank
Dawn had been in a car accident?
666
00:28:59,804 --> 00:29:01,135
Yes, I...
667
00:29:01,673 --> 00:29:04,665
I guess
her problem caused it.
668
00:29:05,076 --> 00:29:07,169
What happened to that girl?
669
00:29:07,445 --> 00:29:10,073
Young people,
so many temptations.
670
00:29:10,415 --> 00:29:12,576
You can't keep 'em
safe now.
671
00:29:14,052 --> 00:29:15,849
Dawn wanted money from you.
672
00:29:18,423 --> 00:29:21,915
My bonds.
American Light and Power.
673
00:29:22,327 --> 00:29:24,352
They're for
my grandchildren.
674
00:29:25,930 --> 00:29:27,921
I use them
for the income.
675
00:29:28,066 --> 00:29:30,057
My husband bought them.
676
00:29:31,736 --> 00:29:34,728
Mrs. Tillar,
what did Dawn tell you?
677
00:29:35,106 --> 00:29:37,301
Why did you go
to the bank?
678
00:29:39,244 --> 00:29:40,370
[Sighing]
679
00:29:40,645 --> 00:29:42,237
She had a gun.
680
00:29:43,515 --> 00:29:45,346
She aimed it at me.
681
00:29:47,051 --> 00:29:48,882
I felt so bad for her.
682
00:29:51,022 --> 00:29:53,513
You expect guns
on the street now.
683
00:29:56,327 --> 00:29:58,022

[Door opening]
685
00:30:06,638 --> 00:30:08,367
Grandma, I'm sorry.
686
00:30:10,375 --> 00:30:12,775
Why are you
hassling my mother-in-law?
687
00:30:12,844 --> 00:30:15,540
You didn't tell us
your daughter was here the day she was killed.
688
00:30:15,613 --> 00:30:16,944
What difference
does it make?
689
00:30:17,015 --> 00:30:18,209
We need to check everything.
690
00:30:18,283 --> 00:30:20,615
You don't got to
check anything.
691
00:30:20,685 --> 00:30:22,482
You know
who killed my Dawn.
692
00:30:23,321 --> 00:30:24,982
You ought to be
putting him away
693
00:30:25,056 --> 00:30:26,785
for the rest of his life.
694
00:30:26,858 --> 00:30:29,952
Now, you get out of here
and leave this lady alone.
695
00:30:30,595 --> 00:30:32,460
She aimed the gun
at her grandmother.
696
00:30:32,597 --> 00:30:34,462
Stark was
telling the truth.
697
00:30:34,532 --> 00:30:36,762
It was his gun,
but he gave it to Dawn Bryan.
698
00:30:36,835 --> 00:30:38,564
Okay, so she had a gun.
699
00:30:38,636 --> 00:30:40,297
Anyone could have
shot her with it.
700
00:30:40,371 --> 00:30:42,134
Only someone
who had access to it.
701

Paul, are you takir a walk
or are you leadir somewhere?
702
00:30:45,944 --> 00:30:48,105
Why was Fred Bryan
so angry today?
703
00:30:48,213 --> 00:30:51,273
The Post reported
it was Stark's gun that killed Dawn Bryan.
704
00:30:51,482 --> 00:30:53,712
When the cops
talked to Lucian Bryan, he mentioned it.
705
00:30:53,785 --> 00:30:55,878
He wanted to know why
they couldn't put Stark away.
706
00:30:55,954 --> 00:30:57,717
[Sighing]
I guess you're about to tell me
707
00:30:57,789 --> 00:30:59,381
how that gun
got into a sewer pipe.
708
00:30:59,457 --> 00:31:01,550
A theory.
For what it's won'th.
709
00:31:01,860 --> 00:31:05,091
CSU says maybe
the pipe was capped the day of the murder.
710
00:31:05,163 --> 00:31:07,427
Who'd have the tools
to open a closed pipe?
711
00:31:07,565 --> 00:31:10,227
And who'd know the pipe
would overflow if you put a gun in it?
712
00:31:10,301 --> 00:31:11,233
A plumber?
713
00:31:11,302 --> 00:31:12,701
A maintenance man.
714
00:31:12,770 --> 00:31:15,466
Fred Bryan has his own
maintenance business.
715
00:31:15,540 --> 00:31:18,031
He read in the papers
it was Stark's gun.
716
00:31:18,109 --> 00:31:19,838
Two days later,
the pipe overflows.
717
00:31:19,911 --> 00:31:22,471
Fred Bryan planted the gun
so the cops would find it.
718
00:31:22,547 --> 00:31:25,209
How did the gun
get into his hands in the first place?
719
00:31:30,388 --> 00:31:32,822
Let's hope
you're wrong about this.
720
00:31:33,958 --> 00:31:36,791
These people are being
canonized for their suffering.
721
00:31:36,961 --> 00:31:39,191
You're telling me
this man killed his daughter.
722
00:31:39,264 --> 00:31:41,926
I don't like the idea
any more than you do, Adam.
723
00:31:42,033 --> 00:31:45,662
Day of the murder,
Grandma called Mother at 2:07.
724
00:31:46,070 --> 00:31:47,662
After she went
to the bank.
725
00:31:47,739 --> 00:31:50,003
An hour later, Mother called
the father at work.
726
00:31:50,074 --> 00:31:52,201
His secretary said
he left a few minutes later.
727
00:31:52,277 --> 00:31:53,801
That's no mystery.
728
00:31:53,878 --> 00:31:55,743
They rallied to get
Grandma's bonds.
729
00:31:55,813 --> 00:31:57,212
For good reason.
730
00:31:57,282 --> 00:31:59,250
Turns out the old lady
had bearer bonds.
731
00:31:59,317 --> 00:32:01,683
Untraceable,
negotiable instruments.
732
00:32:01,753 --> 00:32:03,550
(Stone)
A drug addict and her dealer, Adam.
733
00:32:03,621 --> 00:32:06,283
They wouldn't know
a negotiable instrument from a piano.
734
00:32:06,357 --> 00:32:07,984
How are they gonna
sell those bonds?
735
00:32:08,059 --> 00:32:10,084
That's right. Anything
happens to those bonds,
736
00:32:10,161 --> 00:32:12,356
they can't be replaced.
No name, no record.
737
00:32:12,730 --> 00:32:14,527
Grandma's money
is gone forever.
738
00:32:14,599 --> 00:32:17,227
How far would the Bryans
go to get it back?
739
00:32:17,302 --> 00:32:18,826
(Schiff)
Before we even think of
740
00:32:18,903 --> 00:32:20,302
charging anyone
in this family,
741
00:32:20,371 --> 00:32:22,896
we wrap this so tight
no one can breathe.
742
00:32:23,975 --> 00:32:26,409
Grandma calls Mother,
Mother calls Father.
743
00:32:27,111 --> 00:32:28,874
Who's the weak link?
744
00:32:29,981 --> 00:32:32,074
My mother was worried
about Dawn.
745
00:32:32,216 --> 00:32:34,343
That's why she called me.
746
00:32:34,585 --> 00:32:36,109
You called your husband.
747
00:32:36,187 --> 00:32:38,655
Yes, to tell him
what happened.
748
00:32:39,023 --> 00:32:41,287
He left work.
Where did he go?
749
00:32:41,793 --> 00:32:42,919
Why, uh,
750
00:32:43,561 --> 00:32:45,222
he had a business meeting.
751
00:32:47,065 --> 00:32:50,523
Mrs. Bryan, where are
your mother's bonds?
752
00:32:51,469 --> 00:32:53,232
I wouldn't know
about that.
753
00:32:54,405 --> 00:32:56,430
[Sighing]
That's hard to believe.
754
00:32:56,507 --> 00:32:58,202
They were
your mother's income.
755
00:33:00,411 --> 00:33:02,504
If they're in
her safe-deposit box,
756
00:33:02,580 --> 00:33:04,571
we'll wonder
how you got them back.
757
00:33:06,718 --> 00:33:08,345
[Cars honking]
758
00:33:10,555 --> 00:33:12,045
Mrs. Bryan?
759
00:33:20,498 --> 00:33:22,762
I couldn't see her
like that anymore.
760
00:33:25,970 --> 00:33:27,528
It wasrt your husband.
761
00:33:29,374 --> 00:33:31,433
You were in
her apartment that day.
762
00:33:38,182 --> 00:33:40,343
Virginia Bryan
is not a criminal.
763
00:33:40,418 --> 00:33:41,976
This is a homicide.
764
00:33:42,053 --> 00:33:43,816
My wife didn't know
what she was doing.
765
00:33:43,888 --> 00:33:47,688
Mr. Bryan, Mrs. Bryan,
we are not unsympathetic.
766
00:33:47,759 --> 00:33:49,659
(Lucian)
She didn't kill my sister.
767
00:33:50,928 --> 00:33:52,486
Dawn wasrt there anymore.
768
00:33:52,563 --> 00:33:54,690
Who put the gun
in the sewer pipe, Mr. Bryan?
769
00:33:54,766 --> 00:33:56,757
You wouldn't arrest him.
770
00:33:56,834 --> 00:33:58,096
He's the one
who killed her.
771
00:33:58,169 --> 00:33:59,864
He's the one
who deserves to die.
772
00:34:00,838 --> 00:34:02,066
(Virginia)
Enough.
773
00:34:10,214 --> 00:34:11,340
[Phone ringing]
774
00:34:11,549 --> 00:34:13,141
Dawn called me.
775
00:34:15,053 --> 00:34:16,418
She wanted...
776
00:34:20,425 --> 00:34:23,417
She told me to bring $5,000.
777
00:34:26,097 --> 00:34:27,826
I pleaded with her.
778
00:34:28,866 --> 00:34:31,300
I told her,
"No, you have to stop.
779
00:34:32,737 --> 00:34:34,170
"Stop taking.
780
00:34:35,173 --> 00:34:36,868
Stop stealing."
781
00:34:38,943 --> 00:34:41,571
She screamed at me
to get the money.
782
00:34:42,880 --> 00:34:45,212
She'd burn
my mother's bonds.
783
00:34:46,918 --> 00:34:48,215
Everything,
784
00:34:49,787 --> 00:34:52,187
everything
my father left her.
785
00:35:06,704 --> 00:35:08,331
I went down there.
786
00:35:11,809 --> 00:35:14,437
She held them
in front of my face
787
00:35:17,081 --> 00:35:19,049
with a cigarette lighter.
788
00:35:22,320 --> 00:35:24,447
She told me
to get the money.
789
00:35:26,724 --> 00:35:28,487
She had to have it.
790
00:35:29,193 --> 00:35:31,286
I said, "Not this time."
791
00:35:31,829 --> 00:35:33,023
[Sniffling]
792
00:35:33,131 --> 00:35:34,564
"No more."
793
00:35:37,869 --> 00:35:39,336
Dawn said,
794
00:35:42,240 --> 00:35:43,935
it would never end.
795
00:35:47,612 --> 00:35:50,012
She'd steal all we had
796
00:35:52,250 --> 00:35:54,377
till there was nothing left.
797
00:35:59,290 --> 00:36:01,190
(Virginia)
All these years,
798
00:36:03,161 --> 00:36:05,152
she wasrt going to change.
799
00:36:07,965 --> 00:36:09,523
I looked at her.
800
00:36:12,570 --> 00:36:14,231
It was so hard.
801
00:36:17,708 --> 00:36:21,007
Those little lines of blood
802
00:36:21,078 --> 00:36:22,602
in her eyes.
803
00:36:25,783 --> 00:36:28,616
(Virginia)
Her hands full of holes.
804
00:36:33,958 --> 00:36:35,289
My baby
805
00:36:39,764 --> 00:36:41,322
was so pitiful.
806
00:36:47,104 --> 00:36:48,969
She gave me the gun.
807
00:36:52,577 --> 00:36:54,135
She begged me.
808
00:36:59,984 --> 00:37:01,246
"Mama,
809
00:37:06,991 --> 00:37:10,518
"put me out of my misery.
810
00:37:14,265 --> 00:37:15,789
"Do it for me.
811
00:37:17,535 --> 00:37:18,900
Please."
812
00:37:24,408 --> 00:37:25,568
I...
813
00:37:32,283 --> 00:37:33,648
I gave up.
814
00:37:44,228 --> 00:37:46,196
I did what she wanted.
815
00:37:53,771 --> 00:37:55,500
I killed my baby.
816
00:38:01,212 --> 00:38:05,046
Does charging my client
with murder serve justice?
817
00:38:15,793 --> 00:38:18,557
The Bronx D.A.,
Brooklyn, Queens...
818
00:38:18,763 --> 00:38:20,355
If anybody wants
this prosecuted,
819
00:38:20,431 --> 00:38:21,796
they've got laryngitis.
820
00:38:21,866 --> 00:38:22,992
Are we taking a poll?
821
00:38:23,067 --> 00:38:24,830
No,
we're answering the phone.
822
00:38:24,902 --> 00:38:27,962
Come on, Paul.
You really want to go to a grand jury with this?
823
00:38:28,039 --> 00:38:29,165
Do we not go?
824
00:38:29,240 --> 00:38:31,868
Because we're afraid
of being labeled racist?
825
00:38:32,710 --> 00:38:33,802
[Sighing]
826
00:38:33,878 --> 00:38:37,439
I like to think
that I am not affected by the color of her skin.
827
00:38:38,182 --> 00:38:40,013
I'm not sure
that's possible.
828
00:38:40,618 --> 00:38:41,744
Look,
829
00:38:43,487 --> 00:38:46,012
it's tragic.
I can't deny the womars pain.
830
00:38:46,090 --> 00:38:48,786
I can't pretend
the drug epidemic hits everyone the same.
831
00:38:48,893 --> 00:38:50,827
Nothing hits black
and white the same.
832
00:38:50,995 --> 00:38:53,623
Does that mean
the law should treat them differently?
833
00:38:53,698 --> 00:38:55,996
Do I want to see the woman
go to prison? No.
834
00:38:56,067 --> 00:38:58,035
But I don't see
how we can walk away from it.
835
00:38:58,102 --> 00:38:59,967
Well, we got
a two-choice world.
836
00:39:00,037 --> 00:39:01,470
One or the other.
837
00:39:01,539 --> 00:39:03,336
If we do nothing,
what are we saying?
838
00:39:03,407 --> 00:39:05,898
If no one's responsible
for Dawn Bryars death,
839
00:39:06,077 --> 00:39:08,136
a black victim
doesn't matter.
840
00:39:08,379 --> 00:39:10,609
Don't charge the mother,
she's a victim of society
841
00:39:10,681 --> 00:39:11,978
and deserves
special treatment.
842
00:39:12,049 --> 00:39:14,074
Which practically says
all blacks are victims.
843
00:39:14,151 --> 00:39:15,982
No, that is not
the message we're sending.
844
00:39:16,053 --> 00:39:17,042
Isn't it?
845
00:39:17,121 --> 00:39:19,988
Do blacks have a special right
to kill their children?
846
00:39:20,191 --> 00:39:22,318
That's not sympathy,
that's condescension.
847
00:39:22,393 --> 00:39:24,452
Nobody said
she had any such right.
848
00:39:24,528 --> 00:39:26,325
Maybe Dawn Bryars
life was finished.
849
00:39:26,397 --> 00:39:27,955
Maybe she'd have died
of an overdose.
850
00:39:28,032 --> 00:39:29,056
We'll never know.
851
00:39:29,133 --> 00:39:31,567
What I do know is
she died of a gunshot.
852
00:39:32,603 --> 00:39:34,901
All right.
Man two, probation.
853
00:39:34,972 --> 00:39:37,031
You're forgetting
Jonas Stark.
854
00:39:37,174 --> 00:39:40,940
The Bryans planted evidence.
They tried to frame an innocent man.
855
00:39:47,918 --> 00:39:49,351
[Chuckling]
856
00:39:51,088 --> 00:39:52,885
I'm taking my phone
off the hook.
857
00:39:53,657 --> 00:39:55,488
Go to the grand jury.
858
00:40:00,398 --> 00:40:01,763
We will hear testimony
859
00:40:01,832 --> 00:40:04,164
that Fred Bryan tampered
with physical evidence
860
00:40:04,235 --> 00:40:07,136
and that Virginia Bryan acted
with the requisite intent
861
00:40:07,204 --> 00:40:09,399
for manslaughter
in the first degree.
862
00:40:10,040 --> 00:40:12,031
As legal advisor
to the grand jury,
863
00:40:12,109 --> 00:40:14,339
I instruct you to
consider testimony
864
00:40:14,412 --> 00:40:16,141
as it applies
to those crimes,
865
00:40:16,213 --> 00:40:18,738
and to return
appropriate indictments.
866
00:40:20,785 --> 00:40:23,083
The woman was standing
when she was shot.
867
00:40:24,088 --> 00:40:25,988
Can the
Medical Examiner's office
868
00:40:26,056 --> 00:40:28,684
determine how far
she was from the gun?
869
00:40:29,026 --> 00:40:30,687
Based on Mrs. Bryars
confession,
870
00:40:30,761 --> 00:40:32,752
using her height and
the angle of the bullet,
871
00:40:32,830 --> 00:40:34,855
I would say 3 to 4 feet.
872
00:40:35,733 --> 00:40:37,496
A shot at that range,
873
00:40:37,601 --> 00:40:39,865
could Dawn Bryan
have survived?
874
00:40:40,337 --> 00:40:43,067
Without medical attention,
not very long, no.
875
00:40:43,974 --> 00:40:45,236
(Stone)
Thank you.
876
00:40:46,577 --> 00:40:50,104
I didn't see
Dawrs parents much after she was fired.
877
00:40:51,215 --> 00:40:53,149
(Stone)
Was there a reason for that?
878
00:40:53,217 --> 00:40:56,380
They felt my giving her money
was making it worse.
879
00:40:56,454 --> 00:40:59,150
If I stopped,
she'd be forced into rehab.
880
00:40:59,824 --> 00:41:01,621
Maybe that was true.
881
00:41:01,992 --> 00:41:03,892
I told them that
every dollar I gave her
882
00:41:03,961 --> 00:41:06,156
was one less she had
to earn as a prostitute.
883
00:41:06,931 --> 00:41:10,423
Did either Mr. Or Mrs. Bryan
ever express the idea
884
00:41:10,501 --> 00:41:12,969
that Dawn would
be better off dead
885
00:41:13,037 --> 00:41:14,436
than a drug addict?
886
00:41:15,873 --> 00:41:18,171
Not Mrs. Bryan.
She had faith.
887
00:41:19,076 --> 00:41:22,443
Mr. Bryan,
he... he just ran out of faith.
888
00:41:22,513 --> 00:41:24,344
He blamed himself.
889
00:41:24,949 --> 00:41:28,112
He said
if she was dead
890
00:41:28,185 --> 00:41:30,779
he wouldn't have to
face it every day.
891
00:41:33,924 --> 00:41:35,687
(Harris)
I'm allowed to make the request.
892
00:41:35,759 --> 00:41:36,919
The law's very clear.
893
00:41:36,994 --> 00:41:39,019
Mrs. Bryan has
a legal right to testify.
894
00:41:39,096 --> 00:41:40,120
Not her son.
895
00:41:40,197 --> 00:41:41,994
She's beyond caring.
896
00:41:42,700 --> 00:41:44,565
You want them to
indict for man one,
897
00:41:44,635 --> 00:41:46,296
I want them
to think about intent.
898
00:41:46,370 --> 00:41:48,463
Let Lucian
make a statement.
899
00:41:48,539 --> 00:41:50,131
Testimony
has to be relevant.
900
00:41:50,207 --> 00:41:52,471
Oh, where's Justice Douglas
when we need him?
901
00:41:52,576 --> 00:41:54,043
You want to
debate relevance?
902
00:41:54,111 --> 00:41:56,079
Relevance is what
you decide it is.
903
00:41:56,146 --> 00:41:57,909
Let him make a statement.
904
00:41:59,884 --> 00:42:01,909
Uh, Beverly,
excuse us a minute.
905
00:42:02,186 --> 00:42:03,517
[People chattering]
906
00:42:05,923 --> 00:42:07,254
She has a point.
907
00:42:07,324 --> 00:42:09,792
You mean she'll fry us
for breakfast in the headlines.
908
00:42:09,860 --> 00:42:11,054
You know what they'll say.
909
00:42:11,128 --> 00:42:12,959
Rush to judgment,
big question mark.
910
00:42:13,030 --> 00:42:15,191
I don't wanna
look overzealous.
911
00:42:21,805 --> 00:42:23,773
She didn't talk about it.
912
00:42:24,174 --> 00:42:26,665
Not since Dawn
lost the scholarship,
913
00:42:27,411 --> 00:42:29,038
didn't go to college.
914
00:42:31,382 --> 00:42:33,509
She'd come back
from seeir Dawn
915
00:42:33,617 --> 00:42:35,482
and never say anythir,
916
00:42:36,120 --> 00:42:37,917
like nothir was wrong.
917
00:42:39,557 --> 00:42:42,617
I remember the time
my grandfather died.
918
00:42:43,160 --> 00:42:45,390
We didn't expect Dawn
to come to the cemetery,
919
00:42:45,462 --> 00:42:46,986
but she showed up
920
00:42:48,032 --> 00:42:49,397
in a taxi.
921
00:42:50,401 --> 00:42:53,336
We went to my grandmother's.
922
00:42:53,938 --> 00:42:57,601
My mom was happy
just to see Dawn eat.
923
00:42:58,842 --> 00:43:00,366
She was so thin.
924
00:43:02,112 --> 00:43:05,047
Wasrt until Dawn left
we noticed things missing.
925
00:43:06,383 --> 00:43:09,045
A stickpin.
It was gold.
926
00:43:10,154 --> 00:43:13,681
A silver dish my grandfather
brought back from the Army.
927
00:43:14,158 --> 00:43:17,127
From France.
World War II.
928
00:43:18,662 --> 00:43:20,095
She stole.
929
00:43:21,932 --> 00:43:23,832
She hit my grandmother.
930
00:43:24,802 --> 00:43:27,134
She hit my mom
with a broom.
931
00:43:27,905 --> 00:43:30,305
And she always said
she was sorry later.
932
00:43:31,508 --> 00:43:34,341
Mum wanted to
turn herself in, Dad wouldn't let her.
933
00:43:35,112 --> 00:43:37,979
He said Jonas Stark
ought to suffer.
934
00:43:39,149 --> 00:43:40,548
He caused it.
935
00:43:41,418 --> 00:43:43,113
They decided
if he went to jail,
936
00:43:43,187 --> 00:43:45,178
people would be
protected from him.
937
00:43:46,724 --> 00:43:51,161
It wouldn't happen to somebody
else like it happened to Dawn.
938
00:43:55,366 --> 00:43:57,698
"The D.A.'s office
has shown a belated
939
00:43:57,768 --> 00:44:00,066
attitude of fairness.
We congratulate them."
940
00:44:00,137 --> 00:44:01,968
The editorials are back
on our side.
941
00:44:02,539 --> 00:44:04,473
The blindfolded lady
has two scales,
942
00:44:04,541 --> 00:44:07,271
and we should never look
like we have a finger on one of them.
943
00:44:07,344 --> 00:44:08,811
[Bell buzzing]
944
00:44:10,381 --> 00:44:11,712
14 minutes.
945
00:44:11,782 --> 00:44:13,773
I guess Lucian
didn't affect them.
946
00:44:24,194 --> 00:44:25,923
Was this voted on
by a majority?
947
00:44:25,996 --> 00:44:27,486
Yes, it was, Mr. Stone.
948
00:44:34,438 --> 00:44:37,430
I have instructed you
on the law for an indictment
949
00:44:37,508 --> 00:44:39,203
for manslaughter
in the first degree.
950
00:44:39,276 --> 00:44:40,834
Uh, in the case of
Virginia Bryan,
951
00:44:40,911 --> 00:44:42,538
you've presented
an indictment
952
00:44:42,613 --> 00:44:44,877
for possession of a weapon
in the fourth degree,
953
00:44:44,948 --> 00:44:46,176
a misdemeanor.
954
00:44:48,085 --> 00:44:50,519
Madam Forewoman,
are you certain
955
00:44:50,587 --> 00:44:52,248
a majority voted
on this indictment?
956
00:44:52,322 --> 00:44:54,381
I'm very certain,
Mr. Stone.
957
00:44:54,591 --> 00:44:56,081
Everyone that voted yes,
958
00:44:56,193 --> 00:44:58,127
could you raise
your hands, please?
959
00:45:04,668 --> 00:45:06,067
Thank you.
960
00:45:09,306 --> 00:45:11,797
Where'd they raise you,
Mr. Robinette?
961
00:45:11,875 --> 00:45:13,240
Scarsdale?
962
00:45:13,744 --> 00:45:14,938
Harlem.
963
00:45:15,979 --> 00:45:17,674
I never
would have guessed.
964
00:45:19,483 --> 00:45:21,451
What could the law
do to my wife?
965
00:45:21,785 --> 00:45:23,446
Put her in jail?
966
00:45:23,954 --> 00:45:25,854
There's nothing left
for her.
967
00:45:25,989 --> 00:45:27,923
She won't even
go to church.
968
00:45:28,525 --> 00:45:30,117
You should have known.
969
00:45:30,928 --> 00:45:32,919
You may not believe this,
but I'm truly sorry
970
00:45:32,996 --> 00:45:34,964
for what happened
to your family.
971
00:45:35,399 --> 00:45:37,731
But you want us
to bend the law.
972
00:45:38,001 --> 00:45:39,491
And we both know
what it's like
973
00:45:39,570 --> 00:45:41,697
to have one law for black
and another for white.
974
00:45:41,772 --> 00:45:44,104
It was no good 50 years ago,
it's no good now.
975
00:45:45,242 --> 00:45:47,506
You think
the system's gonna change?
976
00:45:48,045 --> 00:45:49,740
You think
we're gonna be equal?
977
00:45:50,681 --> 00:45:52,774
Call me when
your kids grow up,
978
00:45:52,916 --> 00:45:54,816
tell me how
they're doing.
979
00:45:56,186 --> 00:45:58,711
The system's been against us
for a long time.
980
00:45:59,389 --> 00:46:01,186
Maybe right now
981
00:46:01,325 --> 00:46:03,156
it's gotta bend
the other way.
982
00:46:03,794 --> 00:46:05,091
