Original subtitles

In the criminal justice system, the people are represented by two separate

equally important groups. The police who investigate crime, and the district

attorneys who prosecute the offenders.

These are their stories.

Must have had a thousand coffees while we were waiting to testify.

Maybe we can actually levitate after this one.

My mom used to drag me to this stuff when I was a kid.

Oh yeah?

Ash Wednesday?

Mm -hmm.

I'm a proud, lapsed Catholic at this point.

All I really remember is grumpy nuns and old men wearing pointy little elf

shoes.

They all smelled like soup.

I'm pretty sure that ash symbolizes God's mercy.

Promise of a new life.

Is that all?

Is that all?

Oh, I get it. It's not for me.

What's going on? What's going on? Somebody shoot him!

2 -7 Squad, we got reports of 10 -10 of the Atlas Museum of Art.

Plainclothes detectors responding.

NYPD, where's the shooter? Up at the crown this morning. Where? Where? The

crown, the crown, upstairs, second floor.

Second floor, second floor.

Hey.

Hey. 2 -7, 10 -10, confirmed, second floor.

Hey, hey, hey, come here. I got you.

Central 27, we have two GSWs. This man needs help. Get us an ambulance.

All available units.

Listen to me. Help is on the way.

Can you tell me who did this to you?

Two.

Two guys.

And they took the crown.

Okay, we got two casings.

Nine millimeters.

They went that way. Okay.

All right, that's great. Hey, no, no, no, no, no, no. Listen to me. Stay with

me. Stay with me.

Hey, we're NYPD. Come here. Oh, my God. Hey, see?

Listen to me.

EMS is on its way. It's going to be here any second. Okay, you need to keep him

up, keep him alert, and keep pressure on that wound. You got it? Okay, come on.

Let's go.

We're going.

Hey, NYPD, did you see anything? Two guys with guns. They went that way.

All right, go to the left. Get downstairs.

NYPD, don't move!

10 -13 shot. Fight of the police.

Back entrance! Back entrance!

Get out of here!

We're going left!

I'm going to pursue Woody on the purpose. Head us to the back parking

Metro 2 -7, I'm pursuing on foot, purpose on a bike!

He's heading eastbound, exiting the parking lot.

Hold it!

Drop your weapon right now!

Drop your weapon and get on the ground.

Drop your weapon now!

Drop that weapon!

Drop it!

Everybody, take a breath!

Hey!

Come on, man, it's not worth it. Don't do this.

27 Squad for Central. Get us a bus now.

Multiple gunshots.

The police are not injured.

How's the wounded security guard? Didn't make it.

What happened here?

Guy jumped down a patrol officer.

It was a good shoot.

40 Cal Smith and Western.

But the cases up in the Crown Room were a 9mm.

So that's not the murder weapon.

It's kind of a funky tattoo.

Let's see if it's in the database.

Anything on the body?

No cell, no wallet.

But he's wearing an official -looking art museum ID.

And he had a legit security guard uniform.

You think these guys really worked here?

Or was it an inside job?

We'll see.

We got units looking for your guy.

Bolo, grid search, choke points, all of it. So far, nothing.

Victim's name is Cecil Carbo.

Apparently he's a bit of an institution around here. Been here forever.

Everybody loved him.

Eyewitnesses who fled the scene said that the thieves gained access to this

by clearing it out, saying that there was some sort of event that was going to

happen in this part of the museum. So, basically, the thieves didn't have to

lift a finger to clear this place out until Mr. Carver stepped in and stopped

them? Not that way.

At least there's a lot of cameras here, though. It should be helpful.

And what is this? What was this?

Crown of Popoyan? I don't know.

16th century something?

Oh, my God!

How did they get here?

He's my husband! That's how they get in here.

He's my husband!

Cardinal Kane.

This is Mr. Carbo's wife, Valentina, and their daughter, Luna.

I'm Lieutenant Brady.

This is Detective Riley.

Very sorry for your loss.

I saw them downstairs, and I thought they should have an opportunity to say

goodbye. Respectfully, this is an active crime scene.

Mr. Carbo was a man of deep faith, a son of the church.

He requested to guard the crown. He said it was a privilege.

It is Ash Wednesday, and I'd like to administer the prayer for the deceased.

Your Eminence, this is a crime scene. My crime scene.

Which means we need to preserve it exactly as it is. That's the only way

going to catch these guys.

This man just died in service of the church, and to deny him the prayer for

deceased would be a crime unto itself.

Well, I'm afraid that's beyond our jurisdiction.

Seems this room is sacred ground to all of us just for different reasons.

I'm not asking you to do this for me.

Do it for them.

Don't touch anything.

You have loved the church here on earth. Now rejoice in her glory in heaven.

Into your hand, merciful Father.

We commend your servant.

Acknowledge him as one of your own.

May the angels lead you to paradise.

In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost.

I found this on one of the thieves. Is that real?

Did he work here?

I don't recognize the face, and there's no employee here named James Sullivan.

But yes, that's a real ID.

It was swiped into the facility at 1043 this morning.

Six minutes before the shooting.

Okay, obviously we've got to go through all of your CCTV footage.

There isn't any.

How is that possible?

Our system was rebooting during the robbery.

Fees went offline for 12 minutes.

That's convenient.

We'll look into it right away, obviously.

Okay. What can you tell us about the crown? Why would someone want to steal

and not take anything else?

Oh, that's nearly five pounds of the purest gold I know.

450 emeralds.

This one, the Iapu, is worth $15 million, give or take.

Yeah, so?

That's not the only reason.

Indigenous Colombians believe that the crown belongs to them, not the Catholic

Church. So they think the Catholics stole the crown from them.

Yeah. In the 16th century, two million people in South America died of

But the little village of Popayan was spared.

So the Colombians think there was some sort of divine intervention?

Precisely. They've been trying to reclaim it for years in court, but the

lawsuits never went anywhere.

And how did it end up here?

We got the crown a couple of months ago on loan from the Vatican.

It's been a wildly popular exhibit for us.

There was this Colombian, this rabble -rouser named Amaru Yupanqui.

He filed a new lawsuit against the museum. When that was dismissed, he went

far as to threaten me.

When? Last week.

He sent me an email saying that if I didn't cooperate, he would take the

by any means necessary.

I was blowing off steam.

Some people go for a run.

You write death threats?

I believe that indigenous Colombians are the rightful owners of the crown of

Popayan. I'm passionate about that, and I will never stop fighting for it. But I

didn't kill anyone.

Well, that doesn't mean this whole thing wasn't your idea in the first place. I

mean, maybe you hired those two guys to steal the crown. Please.

Where were you this morning around 10 .30?

At Mass.

What church?

St. Augustine's on Benton Avenue.

What were you praying for?

Their success?

Remember that you are dust, and to dust you shall return.

I was praying that I might live wisely with whatever time I have, which would

not include hiring two imbeciles to steal something from a museum.

Let me ask you something.

You've been pissed at the church for years.

But you still go to mass?

You're still a believer?

You're confusing the church with faith, which is exactly what the church wants.

That's how we got into this mess.

How's that?

Indigenous artisans spent six years making the crown. For 400 years, we

worshipped it as an emblem of faith itself. And then the church, as you call

it... suddenly decided that poor Colombians are not sophisticated enough

guardians of the crown. They snatched it, took it away.

People like me, people of faith, I am seeking a union with

God, truth, moral order.

The church is only interested in market share, protecting their brand.

We don't get many people in here as cynical as me.

Can I go home now?

Yes.

We're going to confirm you have a master's degree.

Me too.

You guys remember Lieutenant Brady?

Your Eminence?

The Archbishop was looking for an update on the case.

Mrs. Carbo's husband gave his life protecting the crown, which means he

life protecting the church itself.

Nothing's more important to our community than getting justice for him,

family. Nothing.

We understand.

I appreciate your concern, but I assure you, we're using all of our resources on

this.

But so far, the only suspect they have is me.

You know who I am? Should I?

I'm glad the crown is gone, and I hope you never...

Get it back.

I couldn't care less about the crown.

Right.

You know, a good man was just murdered.

I'm very sorry for your loss, ma 'am.

Hey, Mario Ponqui was at St.

Augustine's Church at the time of the shooting, just like he said.

Yeah, he didn't feel right for it, but the guy was... Definitely intense. Yeah,

we'll keep an eye on him.

Where are we with everything else?

I ran our dead thief tattoo through the gang database.

No hits.

So I did a reverse image search. Turns out it's a military thing used by this

unit.

SWORD? Special Operations Reconnaissance Detachment.

Yeah, elite troops.

Behind enemy lines, high -value targets, that kind of thing.

Pentagon keeps a DNA database of personality used in case they've got to

identify remains.

We sent them a sample from our deceased thief, and we got a hit.

Frank Henry Stevens.

Three tours in Afghanistan.

Did you get an address?

Astoria. The landlord said that Frank Stevens lived there with his girlfriend.

Great. Bill.

Okay.

This can't be happening. I know it's a lot to process right now, Ms. Campbell,

but you need to tell us everything you know, and you need to tell us right now.

There's nothing to tell.

Frank would never do something like this. He's not a thief. He sure as hell

ain't a murderer.

You going somewhere?

It's Frank's. He had a business trip.

What business is that exactly?

I'm not sure.

You're not sure?

No. She's not sure what her boyfriend did for a living. That's cute.

We happen to know that your boyfriend reported no income and filed no taxes

since he was dishonorably discharged back in 2021.

Look, you're not going to want to hear this, but Frank was never coming back

after that trip because he chose the crown.

Money over you.

He's dead.

So there's no need for you to cover for him anymore.

I'm not covering for him. I don't know anything, I swear.

Look at this.

That's who Frank did this with.

Who is that?

I don't know.

Is Frank having any money trouble? Anybody threaten him lately?

No. Anyone unusual come to the apartment recently?

No.

I mean...

Frank's buddy came by last night, but that's not weird. He's over here all the

time. Tell me about this buddy.

He's just some guy. He lives here in Astoria. He... He

what, Amy?

I think he works at the museum.

What is going on? Why'd you bring me down here?

Really, Joe? Come on. Yes, really.

I didn't do anything wrong. Oh. Well, then you should just sit back and relax,

and I'll just lay out all the ways you're screwed.

This is the museum's security system log.

A security guard named Danny Gardner logged into the system at 10 .24 a .m.

order a reboot of the CCTV.

This is what allowed the thieves 12 minutes to get in and out. So you should

talk to Danny. We did.

Turns out Danny called in sick this morning.

He wasn't at the museum.

You were.

And Danny told us that a few days ago you asked him for his login credentials

because yours weren't working?

Danny didn't order the reboot.

You did.

Oh wait, there is more. You reported your ID missing twice in the past three

weeks. And the funny thing is, the IDs that the thieves used to gain access to

the museum just so happen to be your lost ones.

With an assist from Photoshop, of course.

I was the only one who stole that thing, and I didn't hurt anybody.

Unfortunately for you, that doesn't matter.

Because unless you talk, chances are you're the only sucker going down for

whole thing, and that means we are going to come at you with everything we've

got. You will never eat Mommy's meatloaf again.

She's dead.

She was a lousy cook.

So was mine.

Okay.

Okay, but I want a deal.

I'm not saying a damn thing until that's done.

Queen for a date? What the hell is that even?

Yeah, it's a funny name.

It's actually named after an old game show.

It means...

You tell us what you know.

We can't use that information against you.

This is what you wanted, Joe.

You don't do this, you're looking at felony murder.

You want reduced charges, this is what that looks like.

You tell the truth today, you testify at trial.

Yeah, okay.

Good. Our primary concern right now is identifying and capturing the thief

that's still at large.

What is his name?

He goes by Flaco. No, what is his real name?

I don't know.

That's what everybody calls him. I only met him once, a few weeks ago. Where?

Some bar in Queens.

I don't know.

Frank.

Frank drove. Frank would know.

Frank is dead, Joe.

Yeah, he's dead because you people shot him, lady!

Lady? Do they call you lady?

That guy was like a brother to me! Joe!

Flaco.

I don't know. He's a Spanish dude.

From Spain?

Or like Latin?

Puerto Rican? Dominican?

Yeah, that.

What else do you know about him?

He's about my age, my height.

But, Joe, if they find this man, arrest him.

If you saw him in court, you'd recognize him. You could point him out to the

jury and say, yeah, that's the guy.

Yeah. Sure.

Sure. So, your friend, Frank Stevens, how did he know this Flacco guy? How did

they meet? They served together in Afghanistan.

And the robbery, how'd they plan it, coordinate it? Used WhatsApp, Signal,

maybe, so the messages were encrypted?

They used pagers.

Pagers?

Like it's 1995 and Coolio's on the radio?

Where'd you even get a pager anymore?

Yeah, here it is.

We issued two pagers to Frank Stevens a couple months back.

What's the second name on the account?

There isn't one.

Why not?

Pagers, they ain't like cell phones.

If this guy Frank Stevens comes in here and wants to rent two pagers, we give

him two pagers. Once he walks out the door, he can give them to whoever the

he wants.

The system does keep track of the last 20 messages sent by each pager, so I

it's not a lot.

Well, that should be plenty, thank you. Yeah.

Morse code, is that still a thing?

Yeah, Special Ops Forces is still trained in it. And you know it?

Nope, but there's an app for it.

Hey, check this out.

Flight 289.

What airline?

Looks like Pathways Airlines has a Flight 289.

Flight JFK to Miami every day at 3 p .m. And the message says we're leaving

tomorrow, but that's actually today. Okay, I'll pull up the flight manifest,

cross -check it with the list of soldiers who served with Stevens in

Afghanistan. You get a hit, that's all killer.

Plane leaves in an hour. Get going.

This is the final call for flight 289 with service to Miami.

All remaining passengers proceed immediately to gate C -22.

Who the hell is this guy?

Oh, the overhead bin is full. We'll need to gate check your bag.

Weird. Uh, last name?

Salazar. Luis Salazar.

The light's full, Flaco.

So where is he?

Where's the crown, huh? No idea what you're talking about, man.

Vince.

Pager.

He's been around.

Luis Salazar.

He's under arrest for the murder of people carbo.

We have a suspect in custody named Luis Salazar. He's a former special ops guy.

We caught him as he was attempting to flee. As we speak, he's being arraigned

for the murder of Cecil Carbo. I expect he'll be remanded. Very good.

And what about the crown?

It wasn't in Mr. Salazar's possession when we took him into custody.

So you have no idea where it is?

Not yet.

Mr. Salazar isn't cooperating with us. But we did find evidence in his

that links him to the crime.

We've been retracing his steps to see if we can figure out where he might have

hidden it, but so far, no luck.

I have to tell you, the Catholic community has been galvanized by this

like nothing I can remember.

It's essential that the crown be found.

So what are you doing to ensure its recovery?

Respectfully, we're trying to bring a killer to justice, so finding the relic

not our focus.

It should be.

You're the one that told me the most important thing was getting justice for

Cecil Carbo.

And you think these things are mutually exclusive?

That crown was created by ordinary people who then surrendered...

their treasure, their literal treasure, golden stones that they pulled from the

ground beneath their feet.

So it's creation. It's a beautiful story. It mirrors the gospel itself.

I get it, and we're going to do everything we can to find it. You have

I don't want your word, Nick. I want your guarantee.

Like I said, we'll do everything we can.

Louis Salazar has been remanded. Good.

How's our case?

Solid. We don't have the murder weapon, but forensics have confirmed that the

circular glass cutter we found in Salazar's apartment is the same blade

slice open the display case in the museum.

Salazar didn't just have a plane ticket to Miami. He was connecting in Miami to

Yemen, which doesn't have an extradition treaty with the United States.

But the core of the case is based on the testimony of the security guard, Joe

Whitaker. and the Morse code chatter between Salazar and his other

Frank Stevens.

About that, the defense is challenging the admissibility of the pager.

Your Honor, the detectives performed an illegal search of my client's suitcase

at JFK. There were clearly exigent circumstances. The defendant was

abscond to Yemen, carrying evidence that was vital to a murder investigation.

It doesn't matter. Mr. Salazar's suitcase was gate -checked prior to the

detectives' arrival, which is a legal transfer of custody to the airline. Once

that happens... Then you're saying the suitcase was no longer in the immediate

control of Mr. Salazar, and therefore no longer subject to a warrantless search.

Correct. Your Honor, the inevitable discovery doctrine speaks directly to

point. Federal authorities were required by statute to inspect that bag once our

arrest triggered an alert. So the evidence that the pager would have been

discovered inevitably within minutes.

Perhaps, but the inevitability doctrine does not grant you the ability to

retroactively justify an improper search by conjuring up lawful versions of the

events that never happened. Once that suitcase was...

Checked at the gate, it entered the exclusive custody of a federally

airline. The bag's contents are out, which means the pager is

out.

Prior to February 18th, the day of Cecil Carbo's murder, did a man named Frank

Stevens ask you to help him rob the museum?

Yes.

Frank and I were old friends. We grew up together.

I had mentioned a few weeks before that the crown was on display at the museum

where I worked. Then out of the blue, Frank asked how easy it would be to

I thought he was kidding, you know, joking around at first, but he told his

buddy, Flaco, because they... Sorry? By Flaco, you were referring to... Luis

Salazar. He goes by Flaco.

You met Luis Salazar?

Yes, two weeks before the heist, Frank and Salazar asked me to help them, said

they would cut me in. Do you see Luis Salazar in this courtroom?

Right there.

He's sitting right there.

Your Honor, let the record reflect that the witnesses identified the defendant,

Luis Salazar. The record shall still reflect.

What help did you provide in the robbery?

I rebooted the museum CCTV.

to turn the cameras off, smuggled out extra security guard outfits and ID

that I reported as lost so Frank and Salazar could have access to the

And on the morning of the murder, did you see the defendant?

Yes. After I rebooted the cameras, I went upstairs to make sure Frank and

Salazar got inside okay. They were there, so I went back downstairs.

Thank you. Nothing further.

Mr. Whitaker, you testified earlier that the police threatened to...

To charge you with felony murder if you didn't testify today?

Yes, I cut a deal for reduced charges.

So you're a criminal, a criminal who swore to defend the Atlas Museum of Art

robbed it instead, and now to avoid responsibility, you've agreed to lie in

court. Objection sustained.

Watch it, Mr.

Wood.

How tall are you, Mr. Whitaker?

I'm about 5 '7". Did you tell the police that the defendant was about your

height?

Yeah, I think so.

I'm confused. Mr. Salazar is six foot one.

Okay. You didn't actually witness the shooting of Cecil Carbo, did you?

No. And when you allegedly saw Mr.

Salazar inside the museum on the day of Mr. Carbo's death, you're sure it was

him?

Uh, yeah.

Because the prosecutors seem to think that the men who did this were wearing

masks. He was.

Then how did you recognize him?

I don't know. You don't know, or this wasn't part of the dress rehearsal with

the DM?

Objection sustained.

Look, I went up there, and I looked him in the eyes, and he nodded just like we

planned. It was him.

And I remember everything about it, okay? We were standing under an exit

outside the room where the crown was.

I remember there was a dude on crutches next to us. I remember I was worried he

was going to take forever to get out of there once the heist started.

I thought the ID badge Souser had on my old badge that I reported as lost, okay?

I remember it all, okay? I'm not lying.

Well, that wasn't super fun.

Agreed. Our star witness got beat up pretty good.

Well, you did mention something new, though. A guy on crutches, a museum

that was on the second floor while the shooting and robbery unfolded.

It's possible that he was having a hard time leaving the building.

He could be a witness?

Something. I've taken a few hits on this one. It'd be great to claw some of that

back.

It's a good idea.

Cameras inside the museum were down at the detectives to review exterior

footage, see if they can find a man on crutches leaving the museum.

Yeah, I fell off a stupid ladder, busted my calcaneus.

I never heard of it either.

Heel bone.

Still can't put any weight on it.

Such a drag.

How'd you even find me?

You were the only one who fled the art museum that morning on crutches.

Our detectives found security footage from across the street, and you popped

facial recognition.

You're not in any trouble. To the contrary, we need your help.

Is it true you were there that morning?

Yeah, I went to see the Crown.

I dropped by once a week or so. That thing's a big deal.

Were you close enough to the robbery to see what transpired?

No, but I heard everything.

Walk us through it.

Well, the thieves walked around first, making some big announcement, said there

was some sort of private event.

Right, to clear out the area.

Exactly. I'm such a slowpoke these days, it was taking me forever to get out of

there. I saw the guy that died run in there, and then I hear them all start

screaming at each other, and then, bang, bang!

I was terrified. I just got behind the nearest thing I could find, some

sculpture, to kind of ride it out till the coast was clear.

What else did you hear?

The bad guys.

They were pissed.

Didn't sound like this was part of the plan, killing anybody.

One guy goes, damn it.

The other guy goes, Leonard better deliver.

You know, to this day, my mom yells at me if I don't pray before I eat.

Never understood the point. It's like talking on the phone and there's nobody

the other end.

But, do me a favor?

Pray that we figure out who this Leonard is.

I think your prayers have been answered.

Got a hit in the ATU database. An import -export guy in Canarsie.

Leonard Huckin.

A lot of guys named Leonard out there. For sure, but this guy is Salazar's

uncle.

Mr. Hawkins, do you own a business?

Yes. I am the president and sole employee of an LLC called MPH Import

I sell items and buy items.

Art, watches, jewelry, you name it.

Sounds like a pawn shop.

I prefer import -export, thank you. So do my clients.

My business requires a certain amount of discretion.

And the defendant, Luis Salazar, is it true that he is your nephew?

Yeah, kind of.

Can you explain that to the jury?

Well, he's my nephew by marriage.

Except I'm not married to the family anymore.

For 12 years, I was married to his mother's sister.

We don't talk much, ever, really.

I always thought he was kind of a screw -up, honestly.

And yet, did Mr. Salazar have occasion to call you just prior to February 18th,

the day of Cecil Carbo's murder?

Yes, he did. It was four days before.

To say what?

He asked if I could move an expensive piece of art.

And did he mention what it might be?

Hell no.

I mean, if I'd have known, I would have told him he was insane, which he clearly

did. Objection, Your Honor.

Sustained.

All he told me was that it wasn't a painting. It was more like jewels, gold,

emeralds. Did the defendant contact you after the day of the theft?

Yes. And what did he say?

He said that he...

That the thing that he was going to do, that he actually did it.

And what did you interpret that to mean? That he stole the thing that he was

going to steal.

Thank you. Nothing further.

Mr. Baxter, Mr. Wood is here to see you.

Louise Collins, our defense lawyer, to see me?

He's not alone.

He's with the Archbishop.

Okay. Send him in.

Gentlemen.

Thank you for seeing us.

Please, have a seat.

I wasn't aware the two of you knew each other.

Mr. Wood and I have been in conversation about our mutual interest.

Which is?

The crown of Papillon.

Anything concerning the Salazar case, you should be talking to Nolan Price,

me. We felt that this should involve the full weight of your office, you.

We'd like to discuss a plea.

From what I understand, the case is pretty much over.

Why would we possibly consider a plea now?

We're prepared to have the crown returned.

That doesn't sound like it involves me at all.

There's the price tag.

And I don't suppose you'd consider doing the right thing.

Just because it's the right thing to do. I know that's asking a lot.

Mr. Wood, could you give us a moment alone, please?

Nick, I feel like over the years, you and I, we got a fair read on each other,

right? I think so.

So then I can tell you this without it feeling like an attack.

It's not. It's an observation.

You're not an overtly religious person.

Devout. Like your father.

I have my own beliefs, but... Yeah, that's probably true.

But you are a student of history and someone who could appreciate

that might not be your own.

Thank you, I think.

I'd like to think that's true.

Here's one.

I would encourage you not to think of the crown of Papillon as an object.

Okay?

Tell me.

The crown of Papillon is proof, right here on Earth, of God's grace.

It draws us closer to God.

Millions of people believe that.

That sounds lovely.

Comforting. I mean that.

Many of them are right here in New York, your constituents, the people whose

interest you were elected to serve.

To refuse this offer would mean sacrificing the spiritual good of the

for the emotional satisfaction of punishment.

Mercy is not weakness, Nick.

Please.

We're doing what?

In exchange for reducing charges and advocating for a lenient sentence, Luis

Salazar will reveal the location of the crime.

No, I understood the offer. I don't understand why we're even considering

This is nothing but an act of desperation at the 11th hour. We have

dead to rights. I'm confident the jury will return a guilty verdict tomorrow

morning. I'm not sure that's the math on this one.

No, it's the only math that matters.

We are holding a man to account for murder. This thing?

It's just a thing. It's immaterial, Nick.

This isn't a debate, Nolan.

Prosecutorial discretion exists precisely for cases like this. We're not

solely satisfy a lust for maximum punishment. We're here to protect the

interest, which in this case is more complicated than a prison term.

It doesn't matter that I don't believe what you're saying, Nick. I don't think

you do either.

All right.

I keep forgetting how you really feel about me. Come on, Nick.

Let's at least be honest about why this is really happening. There are two and a

half million Catholics in New York. They vote.

That is why this is happening. You're wrong.

If we drop this to murder two and recommend the low end of the sentencing

and bring the crown home in one piece, that is a win for the many, many people

who believe in this thing.

That means it's a win for the city of New York, and that means it's a win for

us. For God's sake, there's an argument to be made. The crown doesn't even

belong to the church. That is not our concern.

Right.

Not a lot of indigenous Colombians around here.

I'm done.

Make the deal.

Today is not about what was lost.

Today is about what was found.

About the resilience of faith.

What happened here caused so much pain, confusion, even anger.

But I would argue that we are better for it.

Gold will tarnish.

Emeralds will crumble to dust.

But what the crown of Papillon proclaims is eternal.

Gratitude is stronger than greed.

And God does not abandon his people.

And finally, I would like to thank Nicholas Baxter, our esteemed district

attorney, for making this happen. Thank you, Your Eminence.

Not a mention of Cecil. Not one word.

Mrs. Carbo, I know... That you people promised us that you'd do everything to

get justice for Cecil. The man who did this has pleaded guilty. He's going to

prison for 15 years. So he'll be out before he turns 40.

Why does he get a life but my dad doesn't?

As prosecutors, we are not here just to...

satisfy a lust for punishment, we also have to protect the public interest,

which in this case, it got complicated.

Do you even believe the words coming out of your mouth?
