1
00:02:16,967 --> 00:02:20,516
My name is McGovern.
Mr. McGovern to you.

2
00:02:21,287 --> 00:02:24,882
I am the Assistant to the Assistant
Deputy Administrative Assistant to...

3
00:02:24,967 --> 00:02:26,958
the District Attorney of New York County.

4
00:02:27,527 --> 00:02:30,803
You are in training as Assistant
District Attorneys of New York County.

5
00:02:30,967 --> 00:02:33,481
And my Assistant title is a hell of a
lot higher than your Assistant title.

6
00:02:34,167 --> 00:02:37,523
So watch your asses you're out of here.
You passed your bar exams and 're here...

7
00:02:37,607 --> 00:02:39,438
because you didn't get a decent offer
after law school...

8
00:02:39,487 --> 00:02:40,806
and you got to start someplace.

9
00:02:40,847 --> 00:02:43,202
I know what you got in mind. You'll do
your time here because...

10
00:02:43,287 --> 00:02:45,278
you got to have something on your resume.

11
00:02:45,687 --> 00:02:47,757
One or two of you figure maybe you'll
get lucky, maybe Alan Dershowitz,

12
00:02:47,847 --> 00:02:49,758
maybe Bruce Cutler will see you...

13
00:02:49,847 --> 00:02:53,123
in court one day waiting for their cases
to come up and your career will be made.

14
00:02:53,807 --> 00:02:56,401
Most of you just want a stepping stone
to some Wall Street law office...

15
00:02:56,487 --> 00:02:58,478
or a divorce firm with society clients.

16
00:02:58,567 --> 00:03:01,525
You're in it for the money.
Don't give me any crap about justice...

17
00:03:01,607 --> 00:03:04,917
the law, the sacredness of your duty,
blah blah, blah.

18
00:03:05,007 --> 00:03:06,963
You're out of here as fast as
a decent offer comes around

19
00:03:07,047 --> 00:03:09,322
you figure you can
do better chasing ambulances.

20
00:03:10,007 --> 00:03:12,043
Listen, you're going to fight judges
that don't give a shit,

21
00:03:13,127 --> 00:03:14,560
cops in court only to see how much
overtime they can rack up...

22
00:03:14,647 --> 00:03:17,684
rapists, gonifs, teenagers who shot
a guy over a pair of sneakers...

23
00:03:17,767 --> 00:03:20,759
scam artists, pimps, lunatics
who think they should be outside...

24
00:03:20,847 --> 00:03:23,156
walking around Central Park
trying to diddle seven-year-old kids.

25
00:03:23,607 --> 00:03:25,359
So now we know the truth.

26
00:03:27,247 --> 00:03:31,365
Okay, your case load may run
forty cases at a time.

27
00:03:32,007 --> 00:03:35,283
You read your entire New York Penal
Code and your ECAB manual.

28
00:03:39,247 --> 00:03:42,125
There are five divisions in
the Rackets Division.

29
00:03:43,887 --> 00:03:48,005
Construction Industry Task Force.
Official Corruption Unit.

30
00:03:48,687 --> 00:03:50,678
Organized Crime.

31
00:03:50,847 --> 00:03:53,680
I'll set bail at five hundred dollars.
- Your honor...

32
00:03:54,367 --> 00:03:56,517
this woman knifed
a store security guard.

33
00:03:56,607 --> 00:03:57,960
Come on, counselor.

34
00:03:58,047 --> 00:04:02,438
Five hundred dollars to her is like
fifty-thousand to us. Have a heart.

35
00:04:03,407 --> 00:04:06,683
You weren't just caught with a nickel,
bag, Ed. You got to help me help you.

36
00:04:08,207 --> 00:04:09,720
I can get you into Rehab.

37
00:04:10,487 --> 00:04:13,001
You want to die in some toilet
with a spike in your arm?

38
00:04:13,087 --> 00:04:14,236
Fuck you.

39
00:04:14,287 --> 00:04:16,676
I represent the law
you show me respect, do you hear me?

40
00:04:19,527 --> 00:04:21,836
You want to die in some toilet with
a spike in your arm?

41
00:04:26,727 --> 00:04:28,957
Why do you think you should be released,
Mr. Agonostes?

42
00:04:29,047 --> 00:04:33,484
I signed myself in,
I can sign myself out...

43
00:04:33,567 --> 00:04:38,277
I signed myself in
I can sign myself out.

44
00:04:38,727 --> 00:04:41,525
I signed myself in,
I can sign myself out...

45
00:04:41,607 --> 00:04:44,883
We cannot let these people run wild
in the streets.

46
00:04:46,527 --> 00:04:50,964
I know you will do right by the people
of New York. Thank you.

47
00:04:55,767 --> 00:04:56,916
Your honor...

48
00:05:02,767 --> 00:05:03,756
Excuse me.

49
00:05:04,807 --> 00:05:07,196
Hi. Sorry I'm late, the judge kept...

50
00:05:41,927 --> 00:05:45,761
I got to cut down on the coffee.
I'm like a goddam pipe:

51
00:05:45,847 --> 00:05:47,838
I drink it, piss it out
five minutes later.

52
00:05:48,287 --> 00:05:54,681
I keep telling you: decaff, decaff.
- I've tried it. I'd rather piss.

53
00:05:58,727 --> 00:05:59,716
You know...

54
00:06:01,567 --> 00:06:03,205
I'm still not used to it.

55
00:06:05,727 --> 00:06:09,163
Every time we got to hit the door.
You're a lucky son of a bitch.

56
00:06:09,247 --> 00:06:11,238
You know,
I haven't slept for two nights?

57
00:06:13,007 --> 00:06:14,918
Well, I think maybe
I got no imagination...

58
00:06:14,967 --> 00:06:16,878
'cause I never think of
nothing going wrong.

59
00:06:16,967 --> 00:06:19,925
I sleep like a baby
no butterflies.

60
00:06:22,447 --> 00:06:26,076
Maybe 'cause I got you to protect me.
Yeah, yeah.

61
00:06:27,927 --> 00:06:32,443
Or maybe you're just stupid.
- I'm definitely stupid.

62
00:06:36,007 --> 00:06:38,475
But I'm also bigger than you, so why
don't you let me hit the door this time?

63
00:06:38,567 --> 00:06:41,400
Listen, you big slob,
how many times do I have to tell you?

64
00:06:41,487 --> 00:06:43,398
You're the junior member of the firm.

65
00:06:44,167 --> 00:06:46,920
The little guy goes first,
okay?

66
00:06:51,047 --> 00:06:55,040
That bastard could be up there now,
counting money. Listen...

67
00:06:56,447 --> 00:06:58,836
if we go in tonight, you and me,
we go fast. Right?

68
00:06:58,927 --> 00:07:00,963
Everybody wants this bastard.

69
00:07:01,447 --> 00:07:04,120
We got all three goddam precincts
coming together...

70
00:07:04,207 --> 00:07:05,845
on the four corners of this one block.

71
00:07:06,007 --> 00:07:09,124
I don't want any of those pricks from
the six-four, the six-five...

72
00:07:09,207 --> 00:07:11,198
horning in on this, right?

73
00:07:11,767 --> 00:07:13,837
We did the fucking work,
we get the fucking collar.

74
00:07:14,767 --> 00:07:15,961
What about back-up?

75
00:07:16,047 --> 00:07:18,481
We got the warrant. We're the ones
sitting here getting hemorrhoids

76
00:07:18,567 --> 00:07:20,125
we get the collar.

77
00:07:22,767 --> 00:07:26,362
You think Shmuelie the stoolie's going
to show up tonight, or what?

78
00:07:27,767 --> 00:07:30,679
He's a junkie.
How can you trust a junkie?

79
00:07:31,567 --> 00:07:35,196
You going to buy one some day,
you come on me like that.

80
00:07:36,647 --> 00:07:39,719
Well, fuck you, cop.
You think it's easy, huh?

81
00:07:39,847 --> 00:07:41,838
I'm crawling here so nobody spots me
and you think it's easy.

82
00:07:41,887 --> 00:07:43,878
You're breaking my heart, scumbag.

83
00:07:43,967 --> 00:07:46,162
You just knock next time, or I'm going
to take your fucking head off.

84
00:07:46,207 --> 00:07:48,482
Why you talking to me like that, huh?

85
00:07:49,127 --> 00:07:52,085
Liam, why's he talking to me like that?

86
00:07:52,207 --> 00:07:55,324
Because really he loves you, Samuel.
You're our favorite rat.

87
00:07:55,447 --> 00:07:58,678
He's rough on you 'cause he doesn't want
the other rats we got to get jealous.

88
00:07:59,567 --> 00:08:04,083
Oh yeah, well fuck you too.
- Cut the bullshit. What've you got?

89
00:08:04,447 --> 00:08:06,438
Well, maybe I got nothing.

90
00:08:08,127 --> 00:08:11,563
Here, dick-head.
Get the fuck out of here.

91
00:08:14,847 --> 00:08:16,519
He's up there now.

92
00:08:17,727 --> 00:08:21,322
He's up there now: apartment 3D.
- Alone?

93
00:08:21,887 --> 00:08:23,878
I don't know.
He may have got some guiff with him.

94
00:08:24,727 --> 00:08:26,240
Is he carrying?

95
00:08:26,567 --> 00:08:30,162
Come on. Jordan Washington don't make
a move without a rocket in his pocket.

96
00:08:31,767 --> 00:08:36,158
Get the fuck out of here.
- Hey, you guys are swell, really swell.

97
00:08:36,487 --> 00:08:39,001
I hope he gives you one in the kneecap.
Huh? Boom.

98
00:08:45,007 --> 00:08:47,680
Okay?
Let's go.

99
00:08:48,207 --> 00:08:49,879
Liam, I want to call for back-up.

100
00:08:49,967 --> 00:08:53,357
We'll have him trussed up like a deer
on a fender by the time they get here.

101
00:08:55,407 --> 00:08:57,841
Seven-four. This is Allegretto.
We got a fix on Jordan Washington.

102
00:08:57,927 --> 00:09:00,805
1-1-1-7 Barnard Street, apartment three,
David.

103
00:09:00,927 --> 00:09:04,761
We got two plain-clothes going in
with warrant. Send back-up. Come heavy.

104
00:10:09,047 --> 00:10:11,720
Ten-thirteen.
- Ten-thirteen. Location?

105
00:10:11,807 --> 00:10:15,800
Ten-thirteen. We got an officer down,
1-1-1-7,Barnard.

106
00:10:15,887 --> 00:10:18,276
1-1-1-7 Barnard.

107
00:10:54,527 --> 00:10:56,882
All right, now,
I want one man here...

108
00:10:56,967 --> 00:10:59,481
You two around the back.
And you do not give orders around here.

109
00:10:59,527 --> 00:11:01,518
This is my...
- Fuck you, I got a man bleeding up...

110
00:11:01,567 --> 00:11:03,637
Then get the hell up there and help him.
Now.

111
00:11:26,967 --> 00:11:29,925
What the fuck are you doing?
Get the fucking ambulance here.

112
00:11:30,127 --> 00:11:33,119
Fuck you, I'll come there and shoot you
myself. Get the fucking thing here.

113
00:11:33,207 --> 00:11:37,564
Okay, where the fuck is he, huh?
- The window. Down the fire escape.

114
00:11:42,807 --> 00:11:45,196
I'll go up, you go down.
- All right.

115
00:11:52,287 --> 00:11:55,916
Where's the light switch.
- Shit, it's dark.

116
00:11:58,927 --> 00:12:02,442
Charlie, don't go up on that roof alone.
- Got you, got you.

117
00:12:02,527 --> 00:12:03,801
All right, easy.

118
00:12:27,167 --> 00:12:29,965
Hit the deck.
- I think it came from up there.

119
00:12:34,887 --> 00:12:35,956
Charlie.

120
00:12:48,567 --> 00:12:52,242
It's all turned around.
Where the hell's the door?

121
00:13:17,047 --> 00:13:18,799
We need one in the back.

122
00:13:20,447 --> 00:13:22,199
It's about fucking time.

123
00:13:46,407 --> 00:13:48,523
All right, get him in there.
Let's go, come on.

124
00:13:52,287 --> 00:13:54,118
Come on, lock it up.
Lock it up.

125
00:14:08,127 --> 00:14:10,800
E.S.U., come on.
Come on.

126
00:14:11,687 --> 00:14:13,917
Take it round the back.
Round the back.

127
00:14:15,287 --> 00:14:17,403
Move it.
Come on, round the back.

128
00:14:20,047 --> 00:14:23,483
Over here.
- Lights, lights, I can't see.

129
00:14:29,687 --> 00:14:31,996
I've got his home number,
his wife's coming.

130
00:14:42,087 --> 00:14:45,875
Hey, get a radio over here.
Anybody got a radio that's working?

131
00:14:53,407 --> 00:14:55,682
Come in Schneider,
Ramirez, do you read me?

132
00:14:57,287 --> 00:15:00,085
God, that poor guy.
- Yeah, he should get a Police Medal.

133
00:15:00,167 --> 00:15:02,158
- It's too late for that.

134
00:15:19,767 --> 00:15:24,238
All the goddam tax money in this city
and we couldn't get an auditorium here?

135
00:15:31,567 --> 00:15:36,357
All right. I've just had a meeting with
the Mayor and the Police Commissioner

136
00:15:37,527 --> 00:15:39,961
We're going to get this son-of-a-bitch
in seventy-two hours...

137
00:15:40,047 --> 00:15:42,038
or a lot of you are going to be
looking for jobs.

138
00:15:42,607 --> 00:15:46,600
We got three dead cops, one cop
we don't know if he's going to live...

139
00:15:46,687 --> 00:15:49,804
and the biggest dope dealer in the city
got away in an NYPD car.

140
00:15:50,247 --> 00:15:52,966
We had a fuck-up
of historical proportions...

141
00:15:53,207 --> 00:15:57,439
and three Precinct Captains are joining
the homeless, I kid you not. Okay...

142
00:15:58,167 --> 00:15:59,919
So what is the District Attorney,
that's me...

143
00:16:00,007 --> 00:16:01,998
for you new kids on the block,
doing about it?

144
00:16:02,087 --> 00:16:05,636
On direct instructions from the Major,
every detective...

145
00:16:05,727 --> 00:16:09,083
in our investigating division is to
drop what he is working on and...

146
00:16:09,287 --> 00:16:13,041
to report to the Six-four, the Six-five
and the Seven-four to work with them.

147
00:16:13,127 --> 00:16:15,595
You're supposed to be the best
the best detectives in the city and...

148
00:16:15,687 --> 00:16:17,678
we're goddamn well going to see
if that is true.

149
00:16:19,127 --> 00:16:22,881
For the rest of you, in the Trial
Division or on the Executive Staff,

150
00:16:23,127 --> 00:16:27,439
if a cop or a detective needs a search
warrant at 3 A.M.. you're to type it up...

151
00:16:27,607 --> 00:16:31,680
go to the judge's house, pull him off
his wife or whoever else he's on top of...

152
00:16:31,767 --> 00:16:32,995
and get it signed.

153
00:16:33,287 --> 00:16:37,519
If anybody calls for a definition of
"probable cause", "reasonable suspicion"

154
00:16:37,567 --> 00:16:38,682
"stop and search",

155
00:16:38,727 --> 00:16:43,198
you look it up and fax it to him in
three minutes, or your ass is mine.

156
00:16:43,367 --> 00:16:45,358
And you bend the fucking rules

157
00:16:45,447 --> 00:16:49,645
I don't want any goddamn civil-liberties
subtleties here.

158
00:16:49,887 --> 00:16:54,005
We get this cop-killing son-of-a-bitch,
and I'll deal with the ACLU later.

159
00:16:54,087 --> 00:16:55,361
Do you hear me?

160
00:16:59,487 --> 00:17:04,197
Who the fuck are you? Why are you late?
- Sean Casey, sir.

161
00:17:05,687 --> 00:17:10,636
I was at the hospital with my father.
- Oh, my God. Come here, kid.

162
00:17:12,607 --> 00:17:15,599
First, how is he?

163
00:17:17,607 --> 00:17:20,599
He's critical, but he's stable.

164
00:17:21,847 --> 00:17:23,758
They think the operation went well.

165
00:17:25,407 --> 00:17:26,726
How bad was he hit?

166
00:17:27,047 --> 00:17:31,086
He got three bullet wounds and there
were a lot of slivers from...

167
00:17:32,087 --> 00:17:34,282
you know, damage from the door
there's some in his eyes.

168
00:17:35,167 --> 00:17:39,718
You gave blood?
- Yes. Twice.

169
00:17:42,647 --> 00:17:46,845
You hear that, you dead-asses?
This kid just gave his blood. Twice.

170
00:17:47,487 --> 00:17:51,526
So, get to work. Get to work.
Now, come on.

171
00:17:51,887 --> 00:17:56,358
Sean. Elihu.
In my office.

172
00:17:57,007 --> 00:18:00,079
Sean, I'm Elihu Harrison.
Sorry to meet under these circumstances.

173
00:18:00,167 --> 00:18:01,839
Come on, I'll show you
the way to Morgy's office.

174
00:18:01,927 --> 00:18:04,487
It's down the hall.
Over here.

175
00:18:10,367 --> 00:18:11,846
Right. I know.

176
00:18:13,447 --> 00:18:15,324
Here, sit, sit, sit.

177
00:18:17,527 --> 00:18:21,884
Have you eaten anything? It's all right.
- No.

178
00:18:24,047 --> 00:18:27,801
Eileen, call downstairs.
Two eggs over light, bacon very crisp...

179
00:18:28,327 --> 00:18:32,718
toasted bagel, butter and jam, and
a large pot of coffee. Get it here fast.

180
00:18:33,487 --> 00:18:35,478
Does the... Oh, Eli, you want anything?
- No, thanks.

181
00:18:35,527 --> 00:18:37,518
Does the hospital know how to reach you?

182
00:18:39,767 --> 00:18:42,235
I think I left an office number.

183
00:18:42,487 --> 00:18:45,877
Sean, nobody's going to answer
your phone, if you're not there.

184
00:18:48,327 --> 00:18:50,795
Eileen, if there are any calls from
the hospital for S. Casey...

185
00:18:50,887 --> 00:18:52,684
transfer them here.

186
00:18:53,807 --> 00:18:58,164
So kid, tell me: is he conscious?
- Not yet.

187
00:18:58,847 --> 00:19:00,997
But the operation,
it went well?

188
00:19:01,807 --> 00:19:06,437
Well, I think that's what they said.
They use so many technical terms, I...

189
00:19:07,407 --> 00:19:11,525
Eileen, call Dr. Pritzker. Tell him
I want a no-bullshit report on Sean's...

190
00:19:11,607 --> 00:19:13,279
Excuse me, your father's first name?
- Liam.

191
00:19:13,367 --> 00:19:16,996
Liam? Liam Casey.
And to keep me informed.

192
00:19:17,567 --> 00:19:19,762
Pritzker's the head of surgery

193
00:19:19,847 --> 00:19:20,677
Thank you, Mr. Morgenstern.

194
00:19:20,767 --> 00:19:24,237
Morgy. Morgy to you, but not in front of
those assholes you came in with.

195
00:19:25,647 --> 00:19:27,717
How old are you, kid?
- Thirty-three.

196
00:19:28,367 --> 00:19:30,403
You're older than the rest of
your class. How come?

197
00:19:30,487 --> 00:19:32,478
Right after college...
- What college?

198
00:19:32,967 --> 00:19:34,161
St John's.

199
00:19:34,807 --> 00:19:36,525
Right after St John's,
I joined the force...

200
00:19:36,567 --> 00:19:38,319
but I was trying to get
my law degree at night.

201
00:19:39,087 --> 00:19:41,043
I was working three shifts
it took a long time.

202
00:19:42,487 --> 00:19:43,761
Do you hear that?

203
00:19:44,447 --> 00:19:50,477
Not like you, Eli. No ivy walls, no cute
little co-eds with high tits, tight asses.

204
00:19:51,927 --> 00:19:55,158
Eli here, his folks have a private seat
reserved for family members...

205
00:19:55,247 --> 00:19:56,441
at Harvard Law School.

206
00:19:56,687 --> 00:19:59,121
Morgy's still angry I didn't have to
go to City College.

207
00:19:59,207 --> 00:20:01,960
You're goddamn right: in this office,
it pays to know the street.

208
00:20:03,807 --> 00:20:07,083
You know the street, kid.
- I know the street.

209
00:20:08,007 --> 00:20:09,406
- I'll bet you do.

210
00:20:12,367 --> 00:20:13,925
Okay.

211
00:20:16,847 --> 00:20:21,238
Sean, you know why you're here?

212
00:20:22,727 --> 00:20:26,037
Not really, Mr. Morgenstern.
- Morgy.

213
00:20:26,247 --> 00:20:28,078
Morgy, you're being very kind.

214
00:20:28,367 --> 00:20:32,679
It's not in my character
I always want something in return.

215
00:20:33,207 --> 00:20:36,358
Right, Eli? You don't mind if I call
you Eli, right?

216
00:20:36,447 --> 00:20:38,438
Elihu, I don't know,
it's almost hard for me to say.

217
00:20:38,527 --> 00:20:40,836
But Eli, it's more Hamish.

218
00:20:41,527 --> 00:20:44,644
Hamish, it's a word of my people. Means...
- Cozy.

219
00:20:45,367 --> 00:20:50,157
To feel at home with,
it's why your people use chintz. Sean...

220
00:20:51,447 --> 00:20:55,201
When we capture Jordan, and we will,
he's going to be tried.

221
00:20:55,287 --> 00:20:57,357
It's the easiest case
this office will ever have.

222
00:20:57,607 --> 00:20:59,962
He left one empty gun behind
his prints are on it.

223
00:21:00,007 --> 00:21:01,235
I'll bet you whatever you want...

224
00:21:01,287 --> 00:21:04,404
ballistics will find bullets in one of
those four cops that came from that gun.

225
00:21:04,767 --> 00:21:09,283
He's the worst dope dealer in Harlem.
A murderer of his own people. A monster.

226
00:21:09,367 --> 00:21:13,155
As I say, easiest case this office will
ever have. I hope they get him alive.

227
00:21:14,927 --> 00:21:17,441
'Cause I want him put on trial
by this office.

228
00:21:19,407 --> 00:21:21,204
And you know who the prosecutor's
going to be?

229
00:21:24,447 --> 00:21:26,802
You Sean you're going to try him.

230
00:21:28,887 --> 00:21:30,605
That's right: you, Sean.

231
00:21:33,127 --> 00:21:35,243
You're looking at me like I'm crazy.

232
00:21:35,727 --> 00:21:38,639
Morgy, with apologies to you, Sean...

233
00:21:39,727 --> 00:21:42,400
Morgy, this is a giant case.

234
00:21:42,887 --> 00:21:46,277
Sean has never tried anything like this,
in size or importance.

235
00:21:46,687 --> 00:21:49,804
Mr. Morgenstern, Morgy,
Mr. Harrinson's right.

236
00:21:51,487 --> 00:21:52,476
I mean, I'm new at this.
A mistake could ruin the case.

237
00:21:52,567 --> 00:21:54,956
There's no problem here
my son could win this case.

238
00:21:55,047 --> 00:21:57,356
And he's not out of high school.
And is stupid.

239
00:21:57,927 --> 00:21:59,918
This case isn't complicated.

240
00:22:00,007 --> 00:22:01,884
Morgy, are you serious?

241
00:22:01,927 --> 00:22:04,202
You can always tell when I make a joke.
I'm the guy who laughs loudest.

242
00:22:04,367 --> 00:22:06,198
Sir... Morgy...
- Look, kid:

243
00:22:07,607 --> 00:22:10,679
Whose father is laying up there with
tubes coming out of every hole he's got?

244
00:22:10,847 --> 00:22:14,362
Whose blood is flowing in his veins,
now, this minute?

245
00:22:15,207 --> 00:22:17,198
And who put him there?

246
00:22:18,407 --> 00:22:19,476
Case closed.

247
00:22:19,567 --> 00:22:23,355
Food is here. Shall I bring it in?
- No, put it in DiAngelo's office.

248
00:22:23,447 --> 00:22:27,520
Kid, go eat. There's a couch in there.
DiAngelo's in Florida on vacation.

249
00:22:27,607 --> 00:22:31,441
Eat, grab some kip. I'll wake you
if there's any word from the hospital.

250
00:22:32,727 --> 00:22:35,321
You got a career-making case coming up.
- Thank you.

251
00:22:42,567 --> 00:22:43,841
Why are you doing this?

252
00:22:44,967 --> 00:22:50,564
He's at the top of his class.
I don't know. I got a feeling about him.

253
00:22:52,287 --> 00:22:53,686
You mean that?

254
00:22:55,607 --> 00:23:00,635
You bet your guy as I do.
- You realize I'll have to resign?

255
00:23:02,047 --> 00:23:03,605
So? Resign.

256
00:23:04,007 --> 00:23:06,441
Morgy, I'm Senior Trial Counsel.

257
00:23:06,967 --> 00:23:08,958
Turning this over to anybody but me
is an insult...

258
00:23:09,007 --> 00:23:11,157
that's incredibly damaging to me,
to my career.

259
00:23:11,447 --> 00:23:14,723
Turning it over to an ADA with eight
months experience's more than insulting.

260
00:23:14,807 --> 00:23:18,595
It's shocking, humiliating, unacceptable.
- Listen to me you prick.

261
00:23:18,967 --> 00:23:22,118
You think I don't know what's going on?
The walls have ears, my friend.

262
00:23:22,287 --> 00:23:25,359
Those little planted stories in
the papers? Morgenstern is old...

263
00:23:25,447 --> 00:23:28,120
Morgenstern's has got heart problems.
Morgenstern's lost his touch.

264
00:23:28,207 --> 00:23:31,995
That's your work, Eli.
You and that goddamn PR firm you hired.

265
00:23:32,087 --> 00:23:35,841
And you thought I didn't know? I got
lots of friends, Eli. People owe me.

266
00:23:36,287 --> 00:23:38,278
You're going against me in the primary.

267
00:23:38,407 --> 00:23:40,284
If I whip your ass, and I'll...

268
00:23:40,367 --> 00:23:41,686
you'll return to the party
of your people...

269
00:23:41,727 --> 00:23:43,240
and make the run against me that way.

270
00:23:43,287 --> 00:23:46,279
And you think I'm to hand you a career
making case so you can destroy me?

271
00:23:46,367 --> 00:23:48,358
What do you think, I'm an idiot,
you momser?

272
00:23:48,567 --> 00:23:50,285
That's a word of my people.

273
00:23:50,367 --> 00:23:51,846
You want to know what it means?

274
00:23:52,327 --> 00:23:54,204
Come here...
Bastard.

275
00:23:57,887 --> 00:24:00,082
So, if he lives...

276
00:24:00,967 --> 00:24:03,276
you've got your hero cop as a witness,

277
00:24:03,367 --> 00:24:07,042
being questioned by
his heroic self-made son.

278
00:24:07,127 --> 00:24:09,641
You've got Rivera, Oprah,

279
00:24:09,887 --> 00:24:14,438
maybe even Charlie Rose explaining
how you made this heart-warming choice.

280
00:24:15,447 --> 00:24:17,085
Do you think I'm an idiot?

281
00:24:17,527 --> 00:24:19,518
Let me give you
three words of my people.

282
00:24:20,087 --> 00:24:21,406
Go fuck yourself.

283
00:24:23,807 --> 00:24:25,240
Up your ass.

284
00:24:46,007 --> 00:24:46,996
Hey.

285
00:24:50,607 --> 00:24:52,040
How you doing, Nails?

286
00:24:54,647 --> 00:24:56,046
Nails?

287
00:24:58,207 --> 00:25:02,803
Nails. I used to call you that,
remember? A long time ago.

288
00:25:04,927 --> 00:25:06,076
Nails?

289
00:25:08,767 --> 00:25:10,962
Remember?
Whenever you wanted me to do something.

290
00:25:12,607 --> 00:25:15,121
You used to say:
"Nail it, son".

291
00:25:17,647 --> 00:25:20,798
As long as I can remember.
You'd pitch me a ball in the park...

292
00:25:21,687 --> 00:25:26,886
you'd say: "Here, nail it, son".
Remember?

293
00:25:28,207 --> 00:25:31,279
Had a tough exam:
"Nail it, Seano"

294
00:25:33,807 --> 00:25:35,206
I liked it.

295
00:25:35,807 --> 00:25:39,925
Never said it to anybody else.
That's why I called you that.

296
00:25:40,687 --> 00:25:42,359
I got it.

297
00:25:42,407 --> 00:25:44,284
- Good, Pop.
- Remember.

298
00:25:45,487 --> 00:25:47,921
I liked you calling me that.

299
00:25:55,127 --> 00:25:56,958
Something terrific has happened.

300
00:26:03,287 --> 00:26:06,836
When they get Washington, Pop, guess
who's going to prosecute him?

301
00:26:10,927 --> 00:26:12,155
It's me, Pop.

302
00:26:15,647 --> 00:26:18,241
Whole career opening up.

303
00:26:26,407 --> 00:26:30,241
Guess who the chief witness is going
to be, Pop?

304
00:26:30,607 --> 00:26:33,917
You.
First on the scene

305
00:26:35,247 --> 00:26:39,445
First to go down. You're going to be on
the stand and am to ask the questions

306
00:26:41,887 --> 00:26:43,605
My God, Sean.

307
00:26:45,447 --> 00:26:49,599
Everything your mother and I worked for.
- I know that.

308
00:26:53,287 --> 00:26:55,039
It's going to happen Pop.

309
00:27:02,167 --> 00:27:03,839
They're kicking me out

310
00:27:06,607 --> 00:27:09,519
You get some rest, okay?
- Sean,

311
00:27:13,847 --> 00:27:15,997
Nail the son-of-a-bitch.

312
00:27:20,087 --> 00:27:21,725
I will, Pop.

313
00:27:28,247 --> 00:27:29,965
I love you.

314
00:27:54,367 --> 00:27:57,279
Good morning, ladies and gentlemen.
- Morning, Sam.

315
00:27:58,447 --> 00:28:00,278
I have an announcement to make

316
00:28:01,967 --> 00:28:06,085
I have agreed to defend
Jordan Washington.

317
00:28:07,807 --> 00:28:11,277
So you know where he is?
- Yes, yes, I know where he is.

318
00:28:11,527 --> 00:28:15,566
I want to arrange for a quiet surrender
to the District Attorney's office.

319
00:28:16,567 --> 00:28:19,081
How and when did you contact
each other?

320
00:28:19,367 --> 00:28:21,881
Through an intermediary, Don.
- Talking about defense...

321
00:28:22,167 --> 00:28:25,364
What possible defense do you plan to
offer in this case?

322
00:28:26,367 --> 00:28:29,279
You working for the DA's office, Bill?
Your paper certainly does.

323
00:28:29,367 --> 00:28:32,200
You're usually so willing to talk, Sam.
Why are you being so coy?

324
00:28:32,247 --> 00:28:34,681
No, no, you're all going to have to
just wait for the trial.

325
00:28:34,767 --> 00:28:37,804
And let me assure you
that we want a trial.

326
00:28:39,087 --> 00:28:43,444
In fact... Emily, would you send
Mr. Washington in, please.

327
00:28:45,327 --> 00:28:47,318
You've had him here the whole time?
How long?

328
00:28:47,407 --> 00:28:49,318
Does the DA know that he's here?

329
00:28:54,967 --> 00:28:56,878
Jordan, now's your chance to make
a statement:

330
00:28:56,927 --> 00:28:58,679
What's the plea going to be?

331
00:29:02,247 --> 00:29:04,203
My client will not answer
any questions.

332
00:29:04,687 --> 00:29:07,440
Would you take off your shirt and
lower your trousers, please?

333
00:29:16,207 --> 00:29:20,120
Notice, ladies and gentlemen,
that he is completely unmarked.

334
00:29:20,247 --> 00:29:24,286
Turn around, please.
There are no bruises, no breaks of skin.

335
00:29:24,367 --> 00:29:28,997
I'd like you to notice the kidney area,
which is a favorite police target...

336
00:29:29,367 --> 00:29:33,076
and also the buttocks and the genitals.
Thank you very much.

337
00:29:33,167 --> 00:29:36,796
We are delivering Jordan
in perfect condition.

338
00:29:37,287 --> 00:29:39,278
We've a car waiting downstairs.

339
00:29:39,327 --> 00:29:41,716
We're going downtown now
to deliver Mr. Washington...

340
00:29:41,967 --> 00:29:43,400
to District Attorney Morgenstern.

341
00:29:44,407 --> 00:29:47,922
We'd like you all to come along
as witnesses, so...

342
00:29:48,527 --> 00:29:51,803
we can all be sure that Mr. Washington
shows up for his first day of trial...

343
00:29:52,367 --> 00:29:55,359
in exactly the same condition
as you see him here today.

344
00:30:04,327 --> 00:30:06,966
He's bringing Washington down here
to surrender.

345
00:30:07,047 --> 00:30:09,607
That fucking Vigoda
just wants to rub our noses in it.

346
00:30:09,927 --> 00:30:12,282
We couldn't capture him.
He surrendered voluntarily.

347
00:30:12,607 --> 00:30:14,165
Well, fuck Vigoda.

348
00:30:14,247 --> 00:30:15,600
Lawrence, you get your men down there
and...

349
00:30:15,887 --> 00:30:18,276
when that car turns into Worth Street
you stop it,

350
00:30:18,367 --> 00:30:20,961
you drag the black son-of-a-bitch
onto the street and cuff him.

351
00:30:21,047 --> 00:30:23,607
I want four officers,
one on each arm, one on each leg...

352
00:30:23,687 --> 00:30:26,406
to drag that man into the building,
and throw him in a fucking cell.

353
00:30:26,487 --> 00:30:28,478
That's what I promised the people
of this city...

354
00:30:28,567 --> 00:30:30,159
and that's what they're going to get.

355
00:30:30,247 --> 00:30:34,035
I'm not going to let that little
commie shyster humiliate this office.

356
00:30:34,367 --> 00:30:38,485
And if he gets in the way, arrest him.
For obstruction of justice.

357
00:30:43,127 --> 00:30:45,118
Here they come.

358
00:30:45,607 --> 00:30:47,643
Wave them through, guys.
Wave them through.

359
00:30:53,647 --> 00:30:55,842
Lieutenant,
I'm surrendering my client.

360
00:30:55,927 --> 00:30:59,476
You're obstructing justice
There is no need for that.

361
00:30:59,767 --> 00:31:02,076
You are obstructing justice.
You.

362
00:31:02,327 --> 00:31:07,924
Wait a minute. Wait a minute. Damn it.
Get the cameras over to the car.

363
00:31:10,447 --> 00:31:15,680
This is completely unnecessary and
excessive use of force.

364
00:31:25,607 --> 00:31:28,075
Channel 11's legal expert,
Joshua Field.

365
00:31:28,167 --> 00:31:30,965
Well, District Attorney Morgenstern
has had a disaster.

366
00:31:31,047 --> 00:31:33,481
What was supposed to be a quiet surrender
of Jordan Washington...

367
00:31:33,567 --> 00:31:35,478
turned into a three-ring circus.

368
00:31:35,567 --> 00:31:38,320
There could be grounds
for a change of venue appeal at minimum.

369
00:31:45,167 --> 00:31:48,716
What the hell do you want?
- You've buried yourself.

370
00:31:49,727 --> 00:31:51,080
I've come to gloat.

371
00:31:52,367 --> 00:31:54,676
You know as well as I,
Vigoda's a great attorney.

372
00:31:54,767 --> 00:31:58,157
If he's defending Washington,
you've got something to worry about.

373
00:31:58,967 --> 00:32:00,480
That's beside the fact...

374
00:32:00,567 --> 00:32:02,956
you'll have every black militant
and left-wing group in the city

375
00:32:03,047 --> 00:32:05,038
blocking every bridge,
disrupting every highway and...

376
00:32:05,127 --> 00:32:08,119
screaming police brutality
under your window every night...

377
00:32:08,207 --> 00:32:10,482
when you're trying to get some sleep.
And...

378
00:32:10,767 --> 00:32:13,839
he'll eat your hero-cop lawyer alive.

379
00:32:14,687 --> 00:32:15,915
Fuck you.

380
00:32:15,967 --> 00:32:20,279
I'm withdrawing my resignation.
Thanks for taking your time accepting it.

381
00:32:20,607 --> 00:32:23,804
You, my Hebraic friend,
are in trouble on this case and...

382
00:32:23,887 --> 00:32:28,199
I can't wait to see you take the fall.
Good night.

383
00:32:33,047 --> 00:32:34,082
Just ran riot.

384
00:32:44,007 --> 00:32:46,726
This is Liam Casey.
Please leave a message.

385
00:32:47,287 --> 00:32:50,597
Hey, Pop, I hope this means you're
sleeping, not out dancing somewhere.

386
00:32:50,647 --> 00:32:52,638
Tomorrow's the big day. Wish me luck.

387
00:32:59,767 --> 00:33:01,280
Hey, Morgy,
this is Sean.

388
00:33:02,407 --> 00:33:05,001
I just call to say how much I appreciate
everything you've done for me...

389
00:33:05,047 --> 00:33:07,038
and that I won't let you down.

390
00:33:14,287 --> 00:33:16,482
Mr. Casey your opening statement.

391
00:33:30,767 --> 00:33:33,122
Your honor, ladies and gentlemen of
the jury, I'm going to be very brief.

392
00:33:35,207 --> 00:33:37,482
This city just recently buried
three police officers.

393
00:33:40,287 --> 00:33:42,642
A fourth is recovering from
three bullet wounds.

394
00:33:44,487 --> 00:33:48,719
One of the dead officers was shot
by another unidentified officer...

395
00:33:48,807 --> 00:33:51,560
because of the confusion created
by the defendant's actions.

396
00:33:53,087 --> 00:33:56,079
The other two dead officers
and the wounded police officer...

397
00:33:56,167 --> 00:33:58,158
had bullets in their bodies
that came from...

398
00:33:58,687 --> 00:34:00,882
the defendant's gun.
It's that simple.

399
00:34:01,647 --> 00:34:04,798
The case against the defendant
is defined by three gravestones...

400
00:34:04,887 --> 00:34:06,559
and a set of crutches.

401
00:34:08,247 --> 00:34:11,523
I've no doubt of our proof and
I've no doubt of your eventual verdict

402
00:34:12,007 --> 00:34:13,486
Well, thank you.

403
00:34:14,007 --> 00:34:16,077
Mr. Vigoda.
- Your honor,

404
00:34:16,767 --> 00:34:19,884
Ladies and gentlemen of the jury,
Mr. Casey has stated the facts...

405
00:34:19,967 --> 00:34:22,800
and we don't dispute
one word of what he said.

406
00:34:24,007 --> 00:34:29,365
However, you have to be crazy
to shoot three cops...

407
00:34:30,167 --> 00:34:33,443
and Jordan Washington
is not crazy.

408
00:34:35,687 --> 00:34:39,600
What Mr. Casey has left out is that
my client was fighting for his life.

409
00:34:40,807 --> 00:34:45,881
What my client has left out is that
my client was going to be executed.

410
00:34:47,767 --> 00:34:50,440
What Mr. Casey
has left out...

411
00:34:51,607 --> 00:34:56,886
is that cops from three precincts,
the six-four, six-five and seven-four,

412
00:34:56,967 --> 00:35:02,121
were in business with my client and
had been for years.

413
00:35:03,967 --> 00:35:10,156
And, as in so many businesses,
there was a falling out among partners.

414
00:35:11,007 --> 00:35:15,285
Somebody was offering a better price
for the protection services...

415
00:35:15,327 --> 00:35:17,318
that these precincts were providing...

416
00:35:17,567 --> 00:35:21,879
When my client refused
to go along with that new price,

417
00:35:21,927 --> 00:35:23,918
it was decided that he had to go.

418
00:35:26,367 --> 00:35:30,963
Why do you think three precincts
responded to that call.

419
00:35:32,607 --> 00:35:36,759
J. Washington knew what was happening
when he heard footsteps in the hall.

420
00:35:36,927 --> 00:35:39,521
And he was not going to sit idly by...

421
00:35:39,607 --> 00:35:42,599
and wait for his executioners
to destroy him.

422
00:35:42,647 --> 00:35:44,365
Now, it is true:

423
00:35:44,407 --> 00:35:46,796
Jordan Washington fired
through that door.

424
00:35:47,447 --> 00:35:50,837
And it is true that bullets
from my client's gun...

425
00:35:51,087 --> 00:35:55,080
took the lives of two more
New York City cops.

426
00:35:55,207 --> 00:36:00,679
But their dying began well before
that tragic night.

427
00:36:01,727 --> 00:36:06,926
Their deaths began on the day that
corrupt cops...

428
00:36:07,487 --> 00:36:10,445
agreed to protect dope dealing
in Harlem.

429
00:36:15,167 --> 00:36:18,842
Now, I grieve for
those dead policemen.

430
00:36:19,327 --> 00:36:23,479
As far as I know,
they were not part of any conspiracy.

431
00:36:23,567 --> 00:36:27,526
But I cannot let a man go to jail
for the rest of his life...

432
00:36:27,767 --> 00:36:31,760
for doing what is acknowledged
as a man's most basic right:

433
00:36:32,287 --> 00:36:35,120
the right of self-defense.

434
00:36:39,567 --> 00:36:40,556
Thank you.

435
00:36:46,087 --> 00:36:48,555
Vigoda's witness list includes 17 cops
from the six-four, the six-five...

436
00:36:48,607 --> 00:36:50,199
and the seven-four.

437
00:36:50,287 --> 00:36:53,836
What do you mean, don't worry?
- Because it's bullshit it's a theory.

438
00:36:53,887 --> 00:36:54,603
Theories are crap.

439
00:36:54,807 --> 00:36:58,482
He wants to confuse and divert the jury.
Don't let him divert you.

440
00:36:58,567 --> 00:37:01,559
Three dead cops, one seriously wounded.
That's your case.

441
00:37:01,607 --> 00:37:05,077
Cops on the take, Morgy.
- No kidding? Thanks for the information.

442
00:37:05,647 --> 00:37:07,638
Washington had to be paying somebody.

443
00:37:07,727 --> 00:37:10,525
Will you stop worrying about it?
That's another question. Take one.

444
00:37:10,607 --> 00:37:12,598
That's another trial.
This one is about...

445
00:37:12,687 --> 00:37:14,518
Three dead cops, one seriously wounded.
I know.

446
00:37:14,607 --> 00:37:18,395
Oh, Eileen, I told you not spicy.
Damn.

447
00:37:19,047 --> 00:37:21,800
So you were completely occupied
with Detective Casey...

448
00:37:21,887 --> 00:37:24,765
and you really knew nothing...
about what was going on in the streets?

449
00:37:25,367 --> 00:37:27,085
Yes, sir, that's correct.

450
00:37:27,607 --> 00:37:30,405
Thank you, detective.
Your witness.

451
00:37:32,167 --> 00:37:33,919
Detective Allegretto, have you ever
heard of the name Kleinhoff?

452
00:37:34,927 --> 00:37:37,282
Who?
- Kleinhoff.

453
00:37:38,407 --> 00:37:41,126
No, not that I can recall.
- Thank you. That's all.

454
00:37:42,407 --> 00:37:44,079
The witness is excused.

455
00:37:47,567 --> 00:37:49,159
Detective Liam Casey

456
00:37:57,527 --> 00:38:01,315
Do you swear to tell the truth, the
whole truth and nothing but the truth?

457
00:38:01,647 --> 00:38:02,636
I do.

458
00:38:23,327 --> 00:38:24,840
Good morning, Detective Casey

459
00:38:27,407 --> 00:38:28,635
Morning Counselor.

460
00:38:30,727 --> 00:38:34,640
You're assigned to seven-four precinct?
- Yes, sir.

461
00:38:34,687 --> 00:38:36,837
How long have you been there?
- Nine years.

462
00:38:36,927 --> 00:38:39,566
You've been a detective for how long?
- Twenty years.

463
00:38:39,807 --> 00:38:42,685
And how long have you been a policeman?
- Thirty-six years.

464
00:38:42,767 --> 00:38:44,439
Thirty-six years.

465
00:38:44,527 --> 00:38:46,518
So, you're well past
your eligibility for retirement?

466
00:38:46,607 --> 00:38:48,598
Oh, they'll have to carry me out.

467
00:38:48,887 --> 00:38:50,445
In fact they almost did.

468
00:38:53,007 --> 00:38:55,282
Can you tell us how you became involved
with the defendant?

469
00:38:56,487 --> 00:38:58,557
We all knew him: Jordan Washington.

470
00:38:58,647 --> 00:39:04,517
I mean, the word on the street was.
kingpin, top dog, numero uno, M.M.

471
00:39:04,607 --> 00:39:07,485
M. M?
- Yeah, Mean...

472
00:39:08,007 --> 00:39:09,486
Yes?

473
00:39:11,127 --> 00:39:14,437
Mean Motherfucker.
That's what we called him: M.M.

474
00:39:15,567 --> 00:39:18,127
And how did you specifically
get involved in the pursuit of him?

475
00:39:19,007 --> 00:39:22,602
Well, me and my partner, that's Joey
Allegretto, we have us a snitch.

476
00:39:22,967 --> 00:39:25,435
Naturally, I can't tell you his name.
- We understand.

477
00:39:25,527 --> 00:39:29,440
One day, six-seven months ago...
we learned that the defendant...

478
00:39:29,527 --> 00:39:31,597
if we got lucky,
we'd see him coming in or out.

479
00:39:32,407 --> 00:39:35,399
So you cased that house for two and
a half weeks, all day and all night?

480
00:39:35,487 --> 00:39:36,806
Damn near.

481
00:39:38,607 --> 00:39:41,599
Oh, I mean, a couple of times
we'd miss some hours.

482
00:39:41,887 --> 00:39:44,447
Once we both got sick from
some bad-hero sandwiches.

483
00:39:44,527 --> 00:39:46,245
Things like that.

484
00:39:47,087 --> 00:39:52,559
Didn't you ask for help from precinct
- In narcotics, you got to be careful.

485
00:39:53,767 --> 00:39:55,758
On a good lead,
you don't want too much ord out.

486
00:39:55,807 --> 00:39:57,445
What did you then do?

487
00:39:58,167 --> 00:40:00,556
We got lucky.
Sunday night the snitch showed.

488
00:40:00,647 --> 00:40:04,606
That's Sunday 13 October?
- Yes, sir. So now, we're in business.

489
00:40:05,327 --> 00:40:08,478
So then, you had absolutely no knowledge
of what was going on outside?

490
00:40:08,647 --> 00:40:10,638
The next thing I saw was you...

491
00:40:10,727 --> 00:40:13,082
standing by my bed
in ICU at Metropolitan.

492
00:40:14,247 --> 00:40:17,444
Thank you, Detective.
Your witness, Counselor.

493
00:40:18,647 --> 00:40:20,683
Good afternoon, Detective Casey.

494
00:40:22,567 --> 00:40:24,637
You on sick leave now?
- Yes, sir.

495
00:40:24,727 --> 00:40:26,206
What's the prognosis?

496
00:40:26,287 --> 00:40:28,482
Pretty good: six to eight months,
I'll be as good as new.

497
00:40:28,567 --> 00:40:29,761
I'm glad to hear it.

498
00:40:32,167 --> 00:40:34,362
I only have two or three areas
that I'd like to cover.

499
00:40:34,847 --> 00:40:37,600
You had a warrant?
- Yes.

500
00:40:38,287 --> 00:40:42,280
Now, something that you said
has made me curious.

501
00:40:42,327 --> 00:40:44,921
This thing about
not getting any help...

502
00:40:45,007 --> 00:40:47,396
during what must have been
an arduous...

503
00:40:47,487 --> 00:40:50,559
even tortuous surveillance.

504
00:40:50,647 --> 00:40:52,000
You testified...

505
00:40:52,087 --> 00:40:55,238
"On a good lead,
you don't want too much word out".

506
00:40:57,167 --> 00:41:00,284
What did you mean by that?
- Narcotics are complicated.

507
00:41:00,567 --> 00:41:03,320
The fewer people know about
what you're doing, the better it is.

508
00:41:03,967 --> 00:41:06,606
Does that apply to your fellow officers?
- Objection, you honor.

509
00:41:06,687 --> 00:41:08,598
The charge here is murder,
not police corruption.

510
00:41:08,647 --> 00:41:10,683
The defense may tie the two together,
your honor.

511
00:41:11,487 --> 00:41:14,604
A line of questioning you opened up,
cancelled, overruled.

512
00:41:14,687 --> 00:41:16,723
You may answer, Detective Casey.

513
00:41:17,647 --> 00:41:18,921
You have to be careful.

514
00:41:21,647 --> 00:41:26,596
I don't understand. You mean narcotics
information is a two-way street?

515
00:41:27,327 --> 00:41:29,795
That police officers can be informed
about dealers...

516
00:41:30,887 --> 00:41:33,321
and dealers can be informed
about police officers?

517
00:41:34,247 --> 00:41:37,080
I'm not sure I get the question.

518
00:41:37,167 --> 00:41:40,762
Well, then...
regretfully, I must be blunt.

519
00:41:43,207 --> 00:41:45,721
Were you afraid that
if you involved any other officers...

520
00:41:45,807 --> 00:41:48,799
one of them might get word
to Jordan Washington?

521
00:41:49,247 --> 00:41:51,044
Like I said, you got to be careful.

522
00:41:51,087 --> 00:41:53,806
I'm sorry to press you, Detective,
but I must ask you to answer...

523
00:41:53,887 --> 00:41:56,082
either yes or no.

524
00:41:58,087 --> 00:41:59,076
Yes.

525
00:42:00,967 --> 00:42:04,960
Since you didn't share this information
with men of your own precinct...

526
00:42:05,047 --> 00:42:07,481
you didn't share it with officers
in any other precinct.

527
00:42:08,367 --> 00:42:11,245
Am I correct?
Yes or no.

528
00:42:12,487 --> 00:42:14,239
I shared it with nobody.

529
00:42:15,047 --> 00:42:19,006
Except your partner.
- Except my partner.

530
00:42:21,527 --> 00:42:23,085
I just have one more question.

531
00:42:24,287 --> 00:42:25,800
You ever heard of the name Kleinhoff?

532
00:42:28,327 --> 00:42:32,240
Not that I know of.
- He's an ex-police officer.

533
00:42:32,847 --> 00:42:35,839
In fact, the records indicate that...

534
00:42:35,927 --> 00:42:39,158
both of you served in the same precinct
for a period of some two weeks.

535
00:42:40,047 --> 00:42:43,039
It was a long time ago,
about twenty years.

536
00:42:43,647 --> 00:42:46,639
Kleinhoff,
does that name sound familiar?

537
00:42:47,407 --> 00:42:51,685
No, counselor.
Like you said, a long time ago.

538
00:42:53,487 --> 00:42:56,957
I understand.
Thank you, that's all.

539
00:42:57,047 --> 00:43:00,517
7-4-7. Allegretto. We got a fix on
Jordan Washington: 1-1-1...

540
00:43:00,607 --> 00:43:02,359
Shall I play it for you again,
Lieutenant?

541
00:43:03,047 --> 00:43:06,278
We hear Detective Allegretto very
clearly calling into the 74th precinct.

542
00:43:06,367 --> 00:43:09,040
Why did men from the 64th precinct
respond?

543
00:43:09,847 --> 00:43:13,442
They thought more help might be needed.
- More help.

544
00:43:14,367 --> 00:43:17,882
But just a few seconds had elapsed
before your men responded. Why?

545
00:43:17,967 --> 00:43:20,162
How did your men know
that more help was needed?

546
00:43:20,447 --> 00:43:24,235
Did I hear you correctly, Sergeant?
Men of the six-five responded...

547
00:43:24,327 --> 00:43:26,318
because
an "officer down" call had come in?

548
00:43:26,687 --> 00:43:27,676
Yes, sir.

549
00:43:27,927 --> 00:43:30,282
But the "officer down" call
did not go out...

550
00:43:30,327 --> 00:43:33,205
until almost two minutes after
the original call came in...

551
00:43:33,247 --> 00:43:35,556
and men from the six-five
were already on their way.

552
00:43:35,647 --> 00:43:39,640
How do you explain that?
You drove, and I quote:

553
00:43:40,087 --> 00:43:43,636
"like a bat out of hell".
Why?

554
00:43:44,167 --> 00:43:46,158
It was a big collar.
We wanted in on it.

555
00:43:47,767 --> 00:43:50,122
Finally, someone gives me
a straight answer.

556
00:43:51,727 --> 00:43:55,276
You were how old at this point?
- Six or seven.

557
00:43:56,767 --> 00:44:00,521
And this was your fifth foster home?
- I don't know, I lost count.

558
00:44:01,287 --> 00:44:03,403
What about brothers and sisters,
Mr. Washington?

559
00:44:03,487 --> 00:44:08,686
Five of us we got split up early.
No foster home wanted five kids.

560
00:44:09,167 --> 00:44:11,397
You were the youngest?
- That's right.

561
00:44:13,567 --> 00:44:15,239
Where was your mother
during this time?

562
00:44:17,527 --> 00:44:21,566
All over.
Mama was all over.

563
00:44:22,727 --> 00:44:25,082
She was a user,
an addict.

564
00:44:27,727 --> 00:44:31,436
What happened to her?
- I don't know.

565
00:44:33,887 --> 00:44:37,197
Father?
- I never knew him.

566
00:44:38,007 --> 00:44:41,841
How old were you, Mr. Washington,
when you hit the streets permanently?

567
00:44:42,367 --> 00:44:45,200
Maybe ten.
- How did you live?

568
00:44:45,287 --> 00:44:47,278
I became a runner.

569
00:44:48,567 --> 00:44:50,398
A drug runner?
- That's right.

570
00:44:51,287 --> 00:44:55,439
Could you give us a description of
how you lived over the next few years?

571
00:44:58,087 --> 00:45:00,965
I kind moved up
I learned where the money goes.

572
00:45:01,047 --> 00:45:03,356
Then I got busted and
did two and a half in Elmira.

573
00:45:03,647 --> 00:45:06,525
And when you got out?
- Carved out a piece of turf for myself.

574
00:45:07,367 --> 00:45:11,918
Took it, one block at a time.
Nobody's stopping me.

575
00:45:12,887 --> 00:45:15,606
So now you were a full-time dealer.
- That's right.

576
00:45:17,847 --> 00:45:19,838
In your experience, Mr. Washington...

577
00:45:20,687 --> 00:45:24,441
What's the most important thing
a full-time dealer needs?

578
00:45:24,487 --> 00:45:26,239
Three different things:

579
00:45:26,287 --> 00:45:29,279
a place to buy it, a place to sell it,
and protection.

580
00:45:29,567 --> 00:45:34,595
Protection from other dealers?
- No, see, I takes care of that myself.

581
00:45:34,687 --> 00:45:37,042
Protection from what?
- All of this shit.

582
00:45:38,527 --> 00:45:42,486
How do you protect yourself from this?
- Well, how do you do anything?

583
00:45:44,807 --> 00:45:45,796
Money.

584
00:45:48,847 --> 00:45:52,635
Who is Kurt Kleinhoff?
- Ex-cop. My bag man.

585
00:45:52,727 --> 00:45:55,116
Meaning the one who pays everyone off?
- That's right.

586
00:45:55,967 --> 00:45:58,800
Can you tell us how that works?
- First of the month...

587
00:45:58,887 --> 00:46:01,720
Kleinhoff go out with a little black
satchel, look like a doctor bag...

588
00:46:01,807 --> 00:46:04,765
stops by the bar, the precinct and
the pizza parlor and pays off cops.

589
00:46:04,847 --> 00:46:07,156
So much for the patrolman,
so much for the sergeant...

590
00:46:07,247 --> 00:46:10,444
lieutenant, captain...

591
00:46:11,127 --> 00:46:14,597
How much?
- Six hundred grand a year.

592
00:46:16,567 --> 00:46:18,558
How much?

593
00:46:18,607 --> 00:46:21,485
Six hundred grand a year: fifty grand
a month, three precincts to pay off.

594
00:46:21,967 --> 00:46:25,084
And those precincts were?
- Six-four, Six-five, Seven-four.

595
00:46:26,087 --> 00:46:28,078
Could you give us the names
of the officers involved?

596
00:46:28,167 --> 00:46:30,886
Objection, your honor. The defendant
was not present at the alleged pay-off.

597
00:46:30,967 --> 00:46:33,322
We must not take his word on this,
he must not name names.

598
00:46:33,407 --> 00:46:34,601
Sustained.

599
00:46:37,047 --> 00:46:41,279
Who is Carlos Alvarez?
- Guy trying to take over my operation.

600
00:46:41,367 --> 00:46:43,835
How did he try?
- See, he moved the ante up.

601
00:46:43,927 --> 00:46:46,646
He offered the cops six hundred
and fifty grand a year.

602
00:46:46,727 --> 00:46:49,719
So my police friends tried
to shake me down for another fifty.

603
00:46:49,807 --> 00:46:53,277
I said "No, get the fuck out of here.
Once that shit starts, I'm finished.

604
00:46:53,367 --> 00:46:57,076
So I said no, and I figured
I'd take care of Alvarez my own way.

605
00:46:57,447 --> 00:47:00,359
And did you?
- No, see, I never got the chance.

606
00:47:00,887 --> 00:47:02,957
Alvarez figured
I'd be coming on after him...

607
00:47:03,847 --> 00:47:05,246
so he tell the cops and...

608
00:47:05,287 --> 00:47:07,482
they don't want to give up that fifty
so they come on after me.

609
00:47:07,567 --> 00:47:11,037
And that was the night of October 13th?
- Yeah.

610
00:47:12,087 --> 00:47:14,555
But I knew what was happening
maybe a month before that.

611
00:47:16,167 --> 00:47:18,158
Kleinhoff say:

612
00:47:18,727 --> 00:47:22,003
"First time they find you,
they coming on after you".

613
00:47:23,727 --> 00:47:26,878
We're perfectly aware that you grew up
amid conditions that were heartbreaking.

614
00:47:28,047 --> 00:47:31,278
Let me ask you something. Remember
the first time you hit somebody?

615
00:47:34,447 --> 00:47:37,439
No. It seems like I'm always hitting
or being hit.

616
00:47:37,527 --> 00:47:40,200
Oh yes, because you say in
your testimony here, and I quote:

617
00:47:40,287 --> 00:47:43,723
"I've carved out a piece of turf
for myself I took it" end quote.

618
00:47:43,807 --> 00:47:45,559
That must have taken a lot of hitting,
didn't it?

619
00:47:48,527 --> 00:47:49,516
Did it?

620
00:47:50,287 --> 00:47:54,599
When you were expanding your drug empire
and I quote: "one block at a time"...

621
00:47:54,687 --> 00:47:56,245
did you ever kill anybody?

622
00:47:56,287 --> 00:47:58,278
Your honor, I am instructing my client
not to answer that question...

623
00:47:58,327 --> 00:48:00,124
on the grounds of self-incrimination.

624
00:48:00,167 --> 00:48:02,158
Are you pleading the Fifth Amendment,
Mr. Washington?

625
00:48:05,367 --> 00:48:07,676
Yes.
- Did you ever order anyone killed?

626
00:48:07,727 --> 00:48:09,524
Same instructions, your honor.
Fifth Amendment.

627
00:48:09,567 --> 00:48:12,957
When you were in jail for assault with
deadly weapon, did you kill anybody?

628
00:48:13,007 --> 00:48:14,998
Fifth Amendment.
- When your turf was firmly established,

629
00:48:15,087 --> 00:48:18,875
when you were now numero uno, top dog,
kingpin, M.M., did you order anyone...

630
00:48:18,967 --> 00:48:21,242
Fifth fucking Amendment.
- Enough of this.

631
00:48:21,367 --> 00:48:24,200
We'll ask questions and wait for
responses in a civilized way.

632
00:48:24,247 --> 00:48:27,478
Your honor, the prosecutor is bating...
- Sit down, Mr. Vigoda.

633
00:48:27,567 --> 00:48:29,762
I'll run this courtroom with no help
from you nor anyone.

634
00:48:30,287 --> 00:48:32,881
Continue, Mr. Casey.
- Thanks your honor.

635
00:48:32,967 --> 00:48:36,562
Let's go to the night of the shootout.
Sunday, October 13th.

636
00:48:36,967 --> 00:48:40,676
Did you hear Detectives Casey and
Allegretto coming up the stairs?

637
00:48:40,927 --> 00:48:43,077
When you fired fifteen shots
straight at the door...

638
00:48:43,167 --> 00:48:45,158
did you see Detective Casey go down?

639
00:48:45,847 --> 00:48:47,166
The door was there.

640
00:48:47,207 --> 00:48:49,516
But by the end of your fusillade,
the door was in pieces.

641
00:48:49,607 --> 00:48:52,201
Did you see Detective Casey get hit?
- No.

642
00:48:52,367 --> 00:48:54,483
Did you see any blood?
- No.

643
00:48:54,567 --> 00:48:56,683
When you got down to the basement,
did you see two policemen?

644
00:48:56,807 --> 00:48:58,001
Oh, yeah.

645
00:48:58,047 --> 00:49:01,005
Did you see their faces before firing?
- Yeah.

646
00:49:03,407 --> 00:49:06,399
Were they young or old?
- I don't know.

647
00:49:06,607 --> 00:49:08,598
You just said you saw their faces.

648
00:49:09,527 --> 00:49:11,882
Not clear.
- Which is it: yes or no?

649
00:49:12,727 --> 00:49:14,683
I don't know.

650
00:49:14,727 --> 00:49:17,719
When you fired your.357 Magnum,
did you see where the bullets hit?

651
00:49:17,967 --> 00:49:21,277
Where did they hit?
- One in the head and one in the body.

652
00:49:21,367 --> 00:49:23,323
Was there blood?
- Oh, yeah.

653
00:49:23,367 --> 00:49:24,356
Lots of it?
- Yeah.

654
00:49:24,487 --> 00:49:27,285
Let me ask you something.
Did any get on your tiny white sneakers?

655
00:49:27,367 --> 00:49:28,482
Motherfucker.

656
00:49:30,207 --> 00:49:33,358
Remove the defendant.
Remove the defendant.

657
00:49:36,807 --> 00:49:38,286
Get him out of here.

658
00:49:48,167 --> 00:49:49,486
Jury's on the way.

659
00:49:51,887 --> 00:49:55,084
Two hours: good or bad sign?
- Good sign, but who knows?

660
00:49:59,967 --> 00:50:02,276
Guilty on all five charges.

661
00:50:20,167 --> 00:50:24,638
Can you believe this?
- Okay, everybody.

662
00:50:28,127 --> 00:50:30,243
Well did I smell it,
huh?

663
00:50:31,847 --> 00:50:35,999
You all thought I was nuts,
but I knew this kid had it, had it all.

664
00:50:36,567 --> 00:50:39,240
Sean, come on up here. Sean Casey.
- Yeah.

665
00:50:39,727 --> 00:50:40,716
Come on.

666
00:50:47,487 --> 00:50:52,561
A boundless love of the truth and
an instinct for the jugular vein.

667
00:50:52,647 --> 00:50:55,036
That's what makes
a great prosecutor.

668
00:50:56,727 --> 00:51:01,562
And I cannot think of a better moment
to announce my run for re-election.

669
00:51:03,807 --> 00:51:07,243
I'm glad that opposing counsel
has seen fit to join us here tonight.

670
00:51:07,327 --> 00:51:09,079
Welcome, come on, welcome.

671
00:51:10,287 --> 00:51:14,724
I may offer Sam Vigoda the chairmanship
of my fund-raising committee.

672
00:51:14,807 --> 00:51:18,766
He should live so long.
All right, have a good time.

673
00:51:22,567 --> 00:51:23,966
Mr. Mayor.

674
00:51:25,687 --> 00:51:28,485
Sir, Sean Casey. Sean,
Mayor Williams.

675
00:51:28,567 --> 00:51:32,276
Congratulations, Mr. Casey. I couldn't
imagine this is your first major case.

676
00:51:32,327 --> 00:51:34,318
Brilliantly done. Brilliantly.

677
00:51:34,447 --> 00:51:36,438
Where's your father?
- He's in the back.

678
00:51:36,487 --> 00:51:39,001
Liam. Over here.
- Mr. Casey.

679
00:52:11,927 --> 00:52:15,966
I never knew I'd be helping
the prosecution.

680
00:52:18,727 --> 00:52:23,198
I'm Peggy Lindstrom.
- Yeah, I know.

681
00:52:23,527 --> 00:52:26,917
We met once in an elevator.
I work for Sam Vigoda.

682
00:52:27,567 --> 00:52:32,595
One of twelve irreplaceable assistants.
- I know that I saw you at the trial.

683
00:52:34,887 --> 00:52:36,036
Sit.
- Hi.

684
00:52:36,127 --> 00:52:38,322
How are you?
- Fine.

685
00:52:42,367 --> 00:52:47,646
I don't know if you can make it erect.
- I think I can.

686
00:52:51,487 --> 00:52:55,924
Classy car.
- I'm lucky: my parents have money.

687
00:52:57,927 --> 00:53:00,441
Where are we going?
- Home.

688
00:53:01,127 --> 00:53:03,482
I live in Queens.
- I don't.

689
00:53:15,927 --> 00:53:17,360
You're a miracle.

690
00:53:17,407 --> 00:53:20,240
I know. But only to people that
I want to like me.

691
00:53:20,927 --> 00:53:22,679
How do you decide?
- Instinct.

692
00:53:23,167 --> 00:53:26,876
I couldn't believe what I was seeing
when you cross-examined Washington.

693
00:53:27,007 --> 00:53:30,397
I knew I was watching
the start of a great career...

694
00:53:30,487 --> 00:53:33,479
I knew that, at the least,
I wanted to get you into bed.

695
00:53:34,607 --> 00:53:38,395
How come you don't wait to be asked?
- I hate that coy bullshit.

696
00:53:39,007 --> 00:53:42,283
I live my life as openly and
as honestly as possible.

697
00:53:42,367 --> 00:53:45,086
You're completely attractive.
- I know.

698
00:53:46,327 --> 00:53:50,400
So now you get 3.00 A.M.
scrambled eggs, I get ice-cream, and...

699
00:53:50,487 --> 00:53:53,365
I hope I'm impressing you enough
so that we can see each other again.

700
00:53:54,847 --> 00:53:56,997
I'm very impressed:
we'll see each other again.

701
00:53:57,487 --> 00:54:01,765
And still...
tonight wasn't casual for me.

702
00:54:05,407 --> 00:54:08,524
Well, it started casual for me.
I was a little loaded.

703
00:54:09,287 --> 00:54:12,404
There's a beautiful and sexy woman,
well, what's there to lose?

704
00:54:18,287 --> 00:54:20,278
Right now, it feels like
the beginning of something.

705
00:54:22,607 --> 00:54:23,960
Can you spend the night?

706
00:54:28,207 --> 00:54:30,960
Impelliteri is setting
the sentencing date tomorrow.

707
00:54:31,247 --> 00:54:32,919
I should show up in my other suit.

708
00:54:33,007 --> 00:54:34,998
See? The first heartbreak already.

709
00:54:35,047 --> 00:54:37,686
I'll make up for it.
- How?

710
00:54:39,927 --> 00:54:42,157
I don't know.

711
00:54:43,767 --> 00:54:45,758
Good eggs.

712
00:54:48,687 --> 00:54:50,678
What did you find?
- Forget about it.

713
00:54:50,727 --> 00:54:52,445
Nothing left of that joker
but a skeleton.

714
00:54:52,487 --> 00:54:54,478
God only knows how long
he's been down there.

715
00:54:54,527 --> 00:54:56,438
Poor kids were crabbing.

716
00:54:56,527 --> 00:54:59,246
One of their lines got snagged.
How do you like that?

717
00:55:10,367 --> 00:55:12,039
On the first charge...

718
00:55:16,967 --> 00:55:18,958
Would you stand,
Mr. Washington?

719
00:55:24,487 --> 00:55:26,842
On the first charge,
the death of Patrolman Finney...

720
00:55:26,927 --> 00:55:29,725
the sentence is
twenty five years to life with no parole.

721
00:55:30,527 --> 00:55:33,883
On the second charge,
the death of Patrolman Katz...

722
00:55:33,967 --> 00:55:36,481
twenty-five years to life, no parole.

723
00:55:37,287 --> 00:55:40,563
On the third charge,
the wounding of Detective Casey...

724
00:55:40,647 --> 00:55:42,638
twenty-five years to life, no parole.

725
00:55:43,287 --> 00:55:45,084
On the fourth and fifth charges...

726
00:55:45,167 --> 00:55:47,806
fifteen to twenty-five years each,
with no parole.

727
00:55:47,887 --> 00:55:49,798
Sentences to run consecutively.

728
00:55:49,887 --> 00:55:51,525
Goodbye, Mr. Washington.

729
00:55:52,007 --> 00:55:54,441
You know that floater
you fished out last week?

730
00:55:54,767 --> 00:55:59,921
We finally got an ID on him.
NYPD medical: name of Kleinhoff

731
00:56:00,126 --> 00:56:02,686
And that man is Pat Distefano.

732
00:56:02,846 --> 00:56:06,475
And if we stick together,
we can win it all.

733
00:56:07,406 --> 00:56:10,921
We can win it all.
We got it.

734
00:56:18,246 --> 00:56:20,237
Hell of an acceptance speech.
- Oh, fuck.

735
00:56:20,286 --> 00:56:21,480
Morgy, Morgy.

736
00:56:21,806 --> 00:56:23,876
Turn him over.
Turn him over.

737
00:56:27,126 --> 00:56:29,037
Let's stop fucking around.

738
00:56:29,126 --> 00:56:31,594
Now, I'm sure you've each got somebody.
whose name you'd like to put up.

739
00:56:31,886 --> 00:56:35,196
And we're only two hours away
from the six o'clock news.

740
00:56:35,286 --> 00:56:37,117
Now I've got an idea.

741
00:56:37,286 --> 00:56:39,242
Morgy's in ICU.

742
00:56:39,926 --> 00:56:42,235
I'd like to ask you for prayers
for him tonight.

743
00:56:42,846 --> 00:56:45,121
But we are a party rich in talent.

744
00:56:45,526 --> 00:56:47,278
I would like to place in nomination...

745
00:56:47,726 --> 00:56:51,275
and I would be proud if you accept it
by acclamation...

746
00:56:51,366 --> 00:56:53,880
For the office of District Attorney,
I nominate...

747
00:56:54,046 --> 00:56:56,116
Sean CASEY.

748
00:57:16,606 --> 00:57:21,396
I wish she could've seen it.
I wish she could've heard it.

749
00:57:24,286 --> 00:57:27,676
I sure hope she knows.
- She knows.

750
00:57:29,886 --> 00:57:31,638
Yeah, I think you're right.

751
00:57:32,806 --> 00:57:34,956
She's got to be as proud as I am.

752
00:57:36,846 --> 00:57:39,565
Well, I hope she wasn't disappointed.
- In what?

753
00:57:40,366 --> 00:57:42,357
She always had hopes of me joining
the church.

754
00:57:42,446 --> 00:57:44,835
I know she wanted me to.
- Tempted?

755
00:57:45,406 --> 00:57:49,877
I was.
We were blessed, Pop.

756
00:57:52,446 --> 00:57:53,845
That's the word.

757
00:57:56,246 --> 00:57:57,998
We were blessed.

758
00:57:58,086 --> 00:58:00,805
You got to try it on. Yeah.
- Looking good on you.

759
00:58:00,846 --> 00:58:02,837
Sean, Vigoda on two.

760
00:58:07,366 --> 00:58:08,355
Hello?

761
00:58:08,406 --> 00:58:11,159
I know you're busy,
but it's important that we meet.

762
00:58:11,246 --> 00:58:13,237
Okay, what's good for you?

763
00:58:13,326 --> 00:58:15,760
Well, I'll meet you anytime you want,
but Sean...

764
00:58:16,406 --> 00:58:18,681
someplace where neither of us
can wear a wire.

765
00:58:19,806 --> 00:58:23,321
You heard that the body they fished out
of the river turned out to be Kleinhoff.

766
00:58:26,646 --> 00:58:29,922
If you win, I want you to pursue
that murder.

767
00:58:31,046 --> 00:58:32,764
As soon as you can...

768
00:58:32,846 --> 00:58:35,406
use the Investigation Division
of the DA's office.

769
00:58:36,206 --> 00:58:39,676
Going through any precincts is not
the best way to find what you look for.

770
00:58:39,766 --> 00:58:41,916
Sooner or later you're going to run
into dirty cops.

771
00:58:43,806 --> 00:58:45,876
You're not telling me
you believed your defense?

772
00:58:48,526 --> 00:58:50,482
You heard the tapes,
you heard the testimony.

773
00:58:50,566 --> 00:58:53,842
Total chaos on the street that night.
- All right, Jordan Washington is scum.

774
00:58:58,966 --> 00:59:01,958
Sometimes I just get so sick inside.

775
00:59:03,606 --> 00:59:04,595
So...

776
00:59:07,166 --> 00:59:08,963
so discouraged,
you know?

777
00:59:10,766 --> 00:59:15,476
I feel like we have to just give up
on an entire generation.

778
00:59:17,206 --> 00:59:20,039
Lock them up and throw away the key.

779
00:59:20,126 --> 00:59:22,879
Am I hearing this from
the last of the 60's radicals?

780
00:59:25,886 --> 00:59:27,285
Are you conning me?

781
00:59:31,606 --> 00:59:34,200
Yes to the first and not to the second.

782
00:59:38,686 --> 00:59:40,677
Why'd you take the case?

783
00:59:40,766 --> 00:59:43,678
Because I was after something else.
- What?

784
00:59:44,566 --> 00:59:48,081
Sean,
the first rule of the drug world:

785
00:59:48,326 --> 00:59:51,443
"There can't be that much money around
without dirty cops".

786
00:59:51,526 --> 00:59:53,517
That's what I wanted to get to.

787
00:59:55,166 --> 00:59:57,157
Why?
Who appointed you?

788
01:00:00,846 --> 01:00:02,643
My 15 year old daughter...

789
01:00:04,646 --> 01:00:06,204
when she O.D. ed.

790
01:00:10,446 --> 01:00:12,641
You know when your kid dies
before you...

791
01:00:12,846 --> 01:00:15,599
it's not the natural order of things.

792
01:00:18,046 --> 01:00:20,685
Your whole life changes.

793
01:00:31,646 --> 01:00:35,958
When I was a cop with the 103 in Queens,
four cops got caught on the pad.

794
01:00:36,966 --> 01:00:40,242
It was nothing big:
the usual C-note a month.

795
01:00:43,366 --> 01:00:46,881
But I remember
I was ducking into the station house...

796
01:00:46,966 --> 01:00:49,434
because I didn't want to
get cornered by the reporters.

797
01:00:50,686 --> 01:00:55,202
I didn't want to get caught on camera,
because I was ashamed.

798
01:00:57,326 --> 01:01:00,318
In the meantime those four cops
were being brought in by their buddies...

799
01:01:01,046 --> 01:01:03,355
They had their coats over their hands
so their cuffs wouldn't show

800
01:01:03,446 --> 01:01:06,119
they had their heads ducked down low,
so nobody would recognize them.

801
01:01:09,366 --> 01:01:13,564
I remember feeling I wanted to
pull their heads up by their hair...

802
01:01:15,366 --> 01:01:17,357
so everybody could see.

803
01:01:18,366 --> 01:01:22,723
Because a cop like that...
is the scum of the earth.

804
01:01:24,966 --> 01:01:27,605
You get me real evidence,
I'll follow it wherever it leads.

805
01:01:28,966 --> 01:01:35,963
Wherever?
- Yeah, wherever.

806
01:01:36,846 --> 01:01:38,837
- You're a romantic.

807
01:01:41,526 --> 01:01:42,925
And I think you're blushing.

808
01:01:46,766 --> 01:01:49,326
It's the heat.
- It's not the heat.

809
01:01:50,086 --> 01:01:52,520
You're blushing.
I think I'm going to vote for you.

810
01:01:55,046 --> 01:01:58,641
Your final statement, Mr. Harrison.
You have two minutes.

811
01:01:59,206 --> 01:02:02,118
Though constantly taking
the high moral ground...

812
01:02:02,206 --> 01:02:05,562
Mr. Casey's naivet' keeps trapping him
in the depths of, well...

813
01:02:05,726 --> 01:02:08,923
to put it mildly,
questionable behavior.

814
01:02:09,286 --> 01:02:11,561
He's in the midst of an affair
with someone.

815
01:02:12,046 --> 01:02:14,355
No, no, no. Please, please, listen.

816
01:02:14,446 --> 01:02:16,641
I don't bring this up as a smear.
It's just that...

817
01:02:16,726 --> 01:02:19,524
the person he's involved with,
works for a law firm...

818
01:02:19,606 --> 01:02:22,439
that has been a consistent enemy
of law and order in this city.

819
01:02:23,326 --> 01:02:25,681
In two instances,
traffic was stopped for hours...

820
01:02:25,766 --> 01:02:28,724
once at the Brooklyn Bridge
and once at the Queens Midtown Tunnel.

821
01:02:29,086 --> 01:02:31,236
They've represented
the pushcart peddlers...

822
01:02:31,326 --> 01:02:34,079
who drive away business from
legitimate, tax-paying merchants.

823
01:02:34,206 --> 01:02:37,596
Welfare cheats, corrupt local school
boards, in other words...

824
01:02:37,686 --> 01:02:40,678
all the elements that have made
life in this city almost unlivable.

825
01:02:40,846 --> 01:02:42,723
The District Attorney's office is...

826
01:02:42,806 --> 01:02:45,001
the representative of law and order
in this city.

827
01:02:45,526 --> 01:02:47,403
Who do you want
sitting in that chair?

828
01:02:47,646 --> 01:02:51,764
A newly graduated, naive lawyer
with one easy victory behind him?

829
01:02:52,086 --> 01:02:54,600
A man who sees nothing wrong with
an involvement in a law firm...

830
01:02:54,686 --> 01:02:56,677
that has, at times, brought this city
to its knees?

831
01:02:57,446 --> 01:03:01,962
Or the calm, reasoned, objective
point of view of someone...

832
01:03:02,006 --> 01:03:05,157
who's devoted 18 years of public service
to this city and its people?

833
01:03:06,646 --> 01:03:07,635
Thank you.

834
01:03:10,246 --> 01:03:11,440
Mr. Casey?

835
01:03:14,446 --> 01:03:17,165
I'm not even going to respond to
the personal attack...

836
01:03:17,246 --> 01:03:19,635
other than to say that
we are sort of living in sin

837
01:03:19,726 --> 01:03:22,877
because she won't marry me:
I've asked.

838
01:03:25,246 --> 01:03:28,477
I would like to address what I think
Mr. Harrison here's really talking about.

839
01:03:29,686 --> 01:03:32,439
We are all perfectly aware of
the complete loss of respect...

840
01:03:32,526 --> 01:03:34,278
that exists for government today,
particularly the law.

841
01:03:34,366 --> 01:03:36,721
Well, I believe that
the system can work.

842
01:03:37,526 --> 01:03:39,756
But you, all of you,
need one basic reassurance:

843
01:03:39,846 --> 01:03:42,485
you need to know that
the law applies to everyone equally.

844
01:03:42,566 --> 01:03:45,922
Rich, poor, black, white, yellow,
brown, witness, jury...

845
01:03:46,006 --> 01:03:49,794
perpetrator, victim, cops, judges,
Wall Street, welfare...

846
01:03:49,846 --> 01:03:51,882
All everyone equally.

847
01:03:52,846 --> 01:03:55,440
The party ticket I am running on
may not like what I'm saying...

848
01:03:55,486 --> 01:03:56,760
but I'm telling you how I feel.

849
01:03:57,046 --> 01:03:58,877
There will be only one standard:

850
01:03:58,966 --> 01:04:00,922
Did that person break the law?

851
01:04:01,606 --> 01:04:04,359
If I am elected,
the law will exclude no-one.

852
01:04:04,446 --> 01:04:07,756
All, everyone,
will be equal before the law.

853
01:04:07,846 --> 01:04:09,837
Just like it says on the building.

854
01:04:09,886 --> 01:04:11,444
Thank you.

855
01:04:23,926 --> 01:04:25,917
Do we have to go back?

856
01:04:26,886 --> 01:04:30,515
You do.
Big campaign stops tomorrow.

857
01:04:30,606 --> 01:04:33,882
Right.
This place is magic.

858
01:04:35,486 --> 01:04:38,398
For what it's worth, I never thought
I'd want a place like this.

859
01:04:39,406 --> 01:04:41,840
Until this morning,
while making coffee for you.

860
01:04:42,606 --> 01:04:45,040
It's worth a lot
you make very good coffee.

861
01:04:46,446 --> 01:04:47,845
I think we should get married.

862
01:04:54,446 --> 01:04:55,595
Will you marry me?

863
01:05:00,646 --> 01:05:02,682
Let's not push it
marriage wasn't great for me.

864
01:05:02,766 --> 01:05:04,757
You weren't married to me.

865
01:05:06,366 --> 01:05:09,005
How was your meeting with
Vigoda?

866
01:05:14,046 --> 01:05:15,445
It was interesting.

867
01:05:17,686 --> 01:05:20,439
I can't tell you the content of it.
- I understand.

868
01:05:21,046 --> 01:05:24,277
When you're the D.A.
we may wind up on opposite sides a lot.

869
01:05:24,366 --> 01:05:26,357
We'll have lots of secrets
from each other.

870
01:05:26,446 --> 01:05:27,879
I hate that.
- So what do you suggest.

871
01:05:29,406 --> 01:05:31,317
I suggest
we tell each other everything.

872
01:05:34,086 --> 01:05:37,237
We'll leave it up to the other person
to decide whether to use it.

873
01:05:38,686 --> 01:05:41,041
God, you like to make things difficult.

874
01:05:42,646 --> 01:05:46,525
Why not just keep quiet?
- That's also an option.

875
01:05:49,886 --> 01:05:50,875
Come in.

876
01:05:53,406 --> 01:05:55,397
Thanks for coming in, Mr. Casey. Of

877
01:05:55,486 --> 01:05:57,716
Of course, we've seen each other around
for months, but never really met.

878
01:05:57,966 --> 01:05:59,957
I'm Captain Lawrence, Head of
Investigation for the D.A.'s office.

879
01:06:00,046 --> 01:06:01,195
Of course.

880
01:06:01,286 --> 01:06:03,641
This is my assistant,
Lieutenant Gentile.

881
01:06:03,686 --> 01:06:04,323
How are you, Counselor.
- Hi, how are you.

882
01:06:04,406 --> 01:06:08,399
You did a hell of a job.
I'll be working for you after November.

883
01:06:08,846 --> 01:06:13,078
This is Lieutenant Wilson, Internal
Affairs. Wilson, will you take over?

884
01:06:18,046 --> 01:06:20,037
Harbor Police fished out what
was practically a skeleton...

885
01:06:20,126 --> 01:06:22,117
in the East River some months ago.

886
01:06:23,326 --> 01:06:26,796
Dental records identified
the body as Kurt Kleinhoff.

887
01:06:29,206 --> 01:06:31,436
A few days later we obtained
a copy of a small black address book,

888
01:06:31,606 --> 01:06:33,517
I can't tell you how.

889
01:06:34,326 --> 01:06:37,238
The address book had the names of
fifteen police officers.

890
01:06:40,686 --> 01:06:43,154
The fifteen officers were, and are
presently, in the Six-four,

891
01:06:43,246 --> 01:06:45,237
the Six-five and the Seven-four.

892
01:06:45,846 --> 01:06:49,441
As of yesterday at four o'clock, we've
officially taken over the investigation.

893
01:06:49,686 --> 01:06:52,803
That's what we're here for
that's what our department does.

894
01:06:53,406 --> 01:06:55,681
One of our first investigations is
to find out...

895
01:06:55,726 --> 01:06:57,682
how many officers named in that book...

896
01:06:57,726 --> 01:07:00,240
were present at
the Jordan Washington shoot-out.

897
01:07:01,246 --> 01:07:06,957
Do you know if Kleinhoff was dirty?
- We don't know. Yet.

898
01:07:07,446 --> 01:07:10,165
But we sort of kept tabs on him
after he left the force.

899
01:07:10,246 --> 01:07:12,237
He was always around drugs,
on the fringes.

900
01:07:12,326 --> 01:07:14,556
Where there was dope and dealers,
there was Kleinhoff.

901
01:07:15,046 --> 01:07:18,561
We were getting close when he floated
up. No point looking for the killer

902
01:07:18,686 --> 01:07:20,995
forensics can't give us a hint of
how he died.

903
01:07:22,046 --> 01:07:24,037
So why am I here?

904
01:07:25,406 --> 01:07:29,957
One of the names in the book was
Joey Allegretto. Your father's partner.

905
01:07:30,446 --> 01:07:35,395
We have to bring him in, Sean, but we
don't want to hurt you or your campaign.

906
01:07:35,966 --> 01:07:38,434
And God knows, we don't want to hurt
your father.

907
01:07:39,126 --> 01:07:41,924
We thought it might be worthwhile for
you to talk to him first.,

908
01:07:42,006 --> 01:07:43,997
Maybe it's something,
maybe it's nothing.

909
01:07:44,166 --> 01:07:47,124
But if it's something,
maybe he'll talk to you.

910
01:07:47,766 --> 01:07:49,996
Then maybe we can see if there's a way
of exercising some damage control...

911
01:07:50,646 --> 01:07:52,284
on this whole mess.

912
01:07:53,566 --> 01:07:56,160
And I'm supposed to report back to you,
is that it?

913
01:07:57,526 --> 01:08:01,963
If I were you, I'd do it, Mr. Casey.
It's better to know than not know.

914
01:08:04,606 --> 01:08:06,517
Anybody else you want me to talk to?

915
01:08:09,526 --> 01:08:10,800
Not at the moment.

916
01:08:24,486 --> 01:08:27,922
What the fuck, they don't give you
an office? We got to meet out here?

917
01:08:29,166 --> 01:08:31,236
Come here. How you doing?

918
01:08:35,406 --> 01:08:39,001
What's the matter?
What's the matter with you?

919
01:08:39,646 --> 01:08:41,477
I'd never wear a wire on you, Joe.

920
01:08:45,926 --> 01:08:47,917
I'm sorry.

921
01:08:49,486 --> 01:08:53,479
I know that, I'm sorry.
Come on, come here, I'm sorry.

922
01:08:59,926 --> 01:09:03,714
It's just that ever since Kleinhoff
floated up...

923
01:09:03,766 --> 01:09:05,643
everybody's a little tense,
that's all.

924
01:09:07,766 --> 01:09:11,361
Why are they tense, Joey?
- Oh, people are talking.

925
01:09:11,966 --> 01:09:14,958
What are they talking about?
- Internal Affairs getting involved.

926
01:09:15,046 --> 01:09:16,320
Your office.

927
01:09:16,726 --> 01:09:18,000
People are edgy.

928
01:09:19,686 --> 01:09:23,645
Joey, you said at the trial
you didn't know Kleinhoff.

929
01:09:24,046 --> 01:09:27,561
Yeah, well, I lied.
- Why?

930
01:09:28,806 --> 01:09:31,843
'Cause committing perjury's a hell easier
than admitting you know Kleinhoff.

931
01:09:31,966 --> 01:09:33,638
Well, what are you going to do?
You going to report me?

932
01:09:38,046 --> 01:09:41,755
I'll report as little or as much
of this conversation as I want to.

933
01:09:41,846 --> 01:09:43,837
That's the deal

934
01:09:45,966 --> 01:09:48,685
You don't know Internal Affairs.
You think that's the deal.

935
01:09:49,486 --> 01:09:53,240
I'm the next D.A. of this city
that's the deal.

936
01:09:53,326 --> 01:09:54,315
Okay.

937
01:09:57,366 --> 01:09:59,641
I'm asking, Joe: you a dirty cop?

938
01:10:01,686 --> 01:10:05,759
Never.
- Why is your name in Kleinhoff's book?

939
01:10:09,486 --> 01:10:14,355
Didn't know he had a book. Anyway he
tried to call me a couple of times.

940
01:10:14,606 --> 01:10:17,564
I always said no.
- Why didn't you go after him?

941
01:10:18,406 --> 01:10:20,044
The truth?
- Yeah.

942
01:10:20,086 --> 01:10:21,724
I didn't have the balls.

943
01:10:21,766 --> 01:10:24,838
He meant a lot of money to many cops.
I figured I'd keep my own nose clean...

944
01:10:24,926 --> 01:10:26,917
and that's that.

945
01:10:27,926 --> 01:10:29,564
Did he try to reach my father?

946
01:10:32,326 --> 01:10:35,477
Look at me.
Did he try to reach my father?

947
01:10:37,326 --> 01:10:42,480
I swear to you.
As far as I know your father's clean.

948
01:10:46,526 --> 01:10:47,845
Okay?

949
01:10:50,206 --> 01:10:51,605
Why here?

950
01:10:51,686 --> 01:10:53,597
You swear to me on Mama's grave
you're clean on this Kleinhoff business.

951
01:10:53,646 --> 01:10:55,364
Kleinhoff?
- Kleinhoff?

952
01:10:55,446 --> 01:10:57,755
You know damn well who Kleinhoff is.
Don't look at me that way.

953
01:10:57,846 --> 01:11:01,725
He had his hands all over some cops in
the Six-four, Six-five and Seven-four.

954
01:11:02,246 --> 01:11:04,965
Swear to me right here, Pop, right here,
you're clean.

955
01:11:06,286 --> 01:11:09,722
I swear to you at your mother's grave.
I'm clean.

956
01:11:09,806 --> 01:11:11,797
Why did you lie at the trial?

957
01:11:12,646 --> 01:11:15,160
Joey's already told you.
- Joey told you about our meeting?

958
01:11:15,246 --> 01:11:16,520
Of course.

959
01:11:18,126 --> 01:11:20,481
What about Joe?
- He's clean.

960
01:11:22,046 --> 01:11:26,562
Why's his name in Kleinhoff's book?
- Kleinhoff tried to reach him.

961
01:11:28,046 --> 01:11:30,844
Joey comes to me and asks me
what should he do...

962
01:11:32,606 --> 01:11:35,837
I told him I didn't want to touch it,
so he turned him down.

963
01:11:36,446 --> 01:11:38,243
How do you know?
- How do I know what?

964
01:11:38,286 --> 01:11:39,435
That he turned him down?

965
01:11:40,886 --> 01:11:42,239
He's my partner.

966
01:11:45,766 --> 01:11:46,755
I'm sorry.

967
01:11:50,046 --> 01:11:51,445
I'm sorry, Pop.

968
01:11:55,766 --> 01:12:00,157
He's clean, Captain Lawrence.
- Thank you, Sean. Glad to hear it.

969
01:12:02,366 --> 01:12:05,756
Sean's talked to him:
says Allegretto's clean.

970
01:12:05,846 --> 01:12:07,837
That's what I'd expect him to say.

971
01:12:10,406 --> 01:12:13,204
It's nine o'clock: results.
Let's go.

972
01:12:14,646 --> 01:12:18,639
Let's go to our correspondent Colleen H.
with our special election coverage.

973
01:12:19,166 --> 01:12:23,079
With voting just ended, we've already
got our first victory of the evening.

974
01:12:23,166 --> 01:12:26,875
And considering how close the polls were
it comes as a big surprise.

975
01:12:26,966 --> 01:12:30,800
According to our exit polling,
Sean Casey will win easily over his...

976
01:12:30,886 --> 01:12:32,877
Congratulations, Sean.

977
01:12:34,206 --> 01:12:36,800
...sixty-four percent of the vote,
by our projections.

978
01:12:36,886 --> 01:12:39,878
Though not quite that conclusively,
it looks by early count that...

979
01:12:39,926 --> 01:12:42,440
Mayor Williams should also
waltz in comfortably.

980
01:12:46,166 --> 01:12:48,157
It can't go on like this.
Can it?

981
01:12:48,966 --> 01:12:51,355
One wonderful thing happening
after another.

982
01:12:51,766 --> 01:12:55,759
In my experience, no.
It can't go on like this.

983
01:12:56,686 --> 01:12:58,677
What's been your experience?

984
01:12:58,766 --> 01:13:02,236
Oh, nothing brutal.
In fact, on the whole, I'm lucky.

985
01:13:02,726 --> 01:13:06,241
It's just that I keep picking guys that
I expect to be perfect

986
01:13:06,326 --> 01:13:08,317
I don't mean money and looks:
like you.

987
01:13:08,406 --> 01:13:13,764
Just perfect. And then we get close and
the flaws show up.

988
01:13:14,366 --> 01:13:18,200
I guess that's my flaw
expecting Lancelot.

989
01:13:18,646 --> 01:13:20,841
You haven't picked wrong with me, Peggy.

990
01:13:21,326 --> 01:13:24,636
I know, and it frightens me even more.

991
01:13:24,726 --> 01:13:27,115
What if you're everything I hoped for
and...

992
01:13:29,686 --> 01:13:31,483
What?
And what?

993
01:13:33,846 --> 01:13:38,283
And it turns out
I'm not good enough for you?

994
01:13:42,286 --> 01:13:45,119
If I'm not, I don't want to know that
about myself.

995
01:14:00,886 --> 01:14:02,319
Will you marry me?

996
01:14:04,966 --> 01:14:08,595
Maybe. I want to.

997
01:14:10,326 --> 01:14:11,759
But I'm scared.

998
01:14:13,326 --> 01:14:17,114
Can we at least live together?
In the same place?

999
01:14:20,646 --> 01:14:24,195
Okay, your place or mine?
- Whichever.

1000
01:14:26,046 --> 01:14:28,765
Mine.
- Good choice.

1001
01:14:29,486 --> 01:14:32,796
But don't give up yours.
- Yet.

1002
01:14:37,646 --> 01:14:39,682
No, I don't recognize
the name Kleinhoff.

1003
01:14:40,406 --> 01:14:45,639
I've had over 1000 officers working
under me in my command for 32 years.

1004
01:14:45,926 --> 01:14:50,363
How do you expect me to remember a name?
- 'Cause he was paying you every month.

1005
01:14:50,726 --> 01:14:52,717
If you're clean, you got no reason
to be so nervous.

1006
01:14:52,766 --> 01:14:54,677
Are you kidding me?

1007
01:14:54,846 --> 01:14:57,076
You know what it means to even be
called in here?

1008
01:14:57,926 --> 01:15:01,396
You got pictures? What've you got?
- We don't have to tell you anything,

1009
01:15:01,486 --> 01:15:03,477
you have to tell us.

1010
01:15:03,686 --> 01:15:06,246
Bullshit, if you had pictures,
you'd be shoving them into my face,

1011
01:15:06,326 --> 01:15:08,123
so you could turn me into a rat.

1012
01:15:08,366 --> 01:15:10,596
I don't know nothing about knocking off
Washington.

1013
01:15:10,686 --> 01:15:13,917
I will not answer any questions unless
a PBA lawyer is present.

1014
01:15:14,406 --> 01:15:18,365
I'd like you to repeat that.
Just one time outside this room.

1015
01:15:20,046 --> 01:15:21,559
You'd be swallowing your teeth by now.

1016
01:15:22,046 --> 01:15:23,957
I swear I'm innocent.

1017
01:15:26,046 --> 01:15:30,085
Kill Jordan Washington?
Are you crazy?

1018
01:15:33,286 --> 01:15:36,835
Not a crack.
- Mr. Casey.

1019
01:15:37,926 --> 01:15:41,999
It always starts this way.
Everybody's innocent.

1020
01:15:42,606 --> 01:15:46,599
They're all lying.
If their lips are moving, they're lying.

1021
01:15:47,046 --> 01:15:49,844
Within a week, somebody'll come in
to make a deal for himself...

1022
01:15:49,926 --> 01:15:52,235
then the whole house of cards collapses.

1023
01:15:52,806 --> 01:15:54,364
They're going down.

1024
01:16:06,966 --> 01:16:07,955
Come heavy.

1025
01:16:12,126 --> 01:16:14,117
Barnard Street, apartment 3-David.

1026
01:16:14,206 --> 01:16:15,844
We got two plain-clothes going in
with warrant.

1027
01:16:15,926 --> 01:16:18,042
Send back-up. Come heavy.

1028
01:16:20,166 --> 01:16:21,155
Hi.

1029
01:16:26,446 --> 01:16:28,038
Sean?
- Yeah?

1030
01:16:28,126 --> 01:16:30,117
- One of your perks...

1031
01:16:31,006 --> 01:16:34,681
Well, if there's anyone you want
as your secretary...

1032
01:16:35,446 --> 01:16:39,564
I mean, you should have who you want.
- Eileen, I'd like you to stay on, please.

1033
01:16:39,646 --> 01:16:42,877
I need all the help I can get.
- I'd be honored.

1034
01:16:44,686 --> 01:16:47,359
Eileen, you know
where the warrant might be?

1035
01:16:47,446 --> 01:16:49,676
The one that Joey and my father had?

1036
01:16:49,726 --> 01:16:51,637
It's in that stack I just brought you.

1037
01:16:51,726 --> 01:16:56,402
All the documentation is chronological,
so it should be, right at the top.

1038
01:16:56,686 --> 01:16:58,802
That's a Xerox,
you know where the original might be?

1039
01:16:58,846 --> 01:17:00,837
Who signed this?
- Impelleteri.

1040
01:17:00,926 --> 01:17:03,201
Could have gone back to his office,
or floating around the 74th precinct.

1041
01:17:03,286 --> 01:17:05,880
Do you want me to locate it?
- Please.

1042
01:17:05,966 --> 01:17:08,355
Could take a couple of days.
- Okay.

1043
01:17:17,926 --> 01:17:19,154
Hi.
- Hi.

1044
01:17:29,246 --> 01:17:30,679
How you feeling, Morgy?

1045
01:17:32,166 --> 01:17:35,761
Lousy.
What else do you want to ask me?

1046
01:17:38,726 --> 01:17:43,436
I came to thank you.
I owe a lot to you.

1047
01:17:43,526 --> 01:17:45,403
Don't thank me.
I might not have done you a favor.

1048
01:17:48,326 --> 01:17:50,442
It'll start soon, you'll see.

1049
01:17:52,126 --> 01:17:53,957
What'll start?
- The pressure.

1050
01:17:54,726 --> 01:17:56,921
In fact, from what I heard,
it's started already.

1051
01:18:00,486 --> 01:18:02,442
What did you hear?

1052
01:18:02,486 --> 01:18:04,363
Internal Affairs, they're pressing you?

1053
01:18:07,966 --> 01:18:09,558
How did you hear it?

1054
01:18:09,646 --> 01:18:14,003
People owe me.
How bad is it?

1055
01:18:15,326 --> 01:18:17,317
I don't know yet.

1056
01:18:17,646 --> 01:18:19,637
This Internal Affairs business:
I'm afraid to go through the door.

1057
01:18:19,726 --> 01:18:21,557
I don't know what to expect.

1058
01:18:22,046 --> 01:18:24,241
Expect the worst, so prepare yourself.

1059
01:18:24,326 --> 01:18:27,602
Everybody's going to want a piece of you
now that you're elected.

1060
01:18:29,366 --> 01:18:31,357
Leaves you in a damn good position, kid.

1061
01:18:31,446 --> 01:18:33,960
When they grab for you,
when they go for that piece of you...

1062
01:18:34,686 --> 01:18:37,154
you get something back.

1063
01:18:37,246 --> 01:18:39,237
You always get back more than you gave.

1064
01:18:39,766 --> 01:18:42,758
You hear me, kid?
More than you gave.

1065
01:18:42,846 --> 01:18:44,916
What are you saying to me? It's going
to be one big deal I'm making?

1066
01:18:45,006 --> 01:18:50,842
No, a hundred little ones. A thousand.
Deal after deal after deal after deal.

1067
01:18:50,926 --> 01:18:54,202
It's not why I became a lawyer.
- Who cares why you became a lawyer.

1068
01:18:55,246 --> 01:18:57,237
Only you nobody else gives a shit.

1069
01:18:57,326 --> 01:19:00,159
Why? You want clean hands?
Become a priest.

1070
01:19:04,086 --> 01:19:06,884
Look, kid, what you're searching for,
you're not going to find it.

1071
01:19:06,966 --> 01:19:08,957
Not in this place, not at this time.

1072
01:19:09,126 --> 01:19:10,923
Maybe no place at any time.

1073
01:19:16,926 --> 01:19:18,598
But you'll be better than most.

1074
01:19:20,326 --> 01:19:22,556
That's what you're going to have
to be satisfied with.

1075
01:19:22,646 --> 01:19:24,716
Get the hell out of here, please.
You're depressing me.

1076
01:19:25,846 --> 01:19:28,963
Come on.
- Oh, God.

1077
01:19:29,046 --> 01:19:30,684
Please.

1078
01:19:37,326 --> 01:19:39,282
I'd kiss you,
but you're an ugly bastard.

1079
01:19:47,966 --> 01:19:51,322
So, what do you think, Lieutenant?
Can I do myself some good here?

1080
01:19:52,766 --> 01:19:55,678
You're the first to come forward,
I'm sure we can help.

1081
01:19:55,766 --> 01:19:58,234
But I'll need corroboration
for everything you tell us.

1082
01:20:00,166 --> 01:20:03,044
I don't see a problem.
My old partner, Estevez?

1083
01:20:03,126 --> 01:20:09,361
You had him in here.
For a deal, he'll talk.

1084
01:20:13,046 --> 01:20:18,359
Good. But that's it.
After the two of you, no more deals.

1085
01:20:23,526 --> 01:20:26,836
I'm saddened to announce the indictment
this morning of five police officers on

1086
01:20:26,926 --> 01:20:30,680
on charges of bribery and
dealing in narcotics.

1087
01:20:30,766 --> 01:20:33,326
Their names are in the press release
you've been given.

1088
01:20:33,646 --> 01:20:35,876
The indictments are the result of
a two month investigation.

1089
01:20:35,966 --> 01:20:37,957
by the Internal Affairs Division.

1090
01:20:38,166 --> 01:20:41,476
The investigation was conducted by
Lieutenant Wilson.

1091
01:20:41,686 --> 01:20:45,998
Any more cops to come, Sean?
It's an ongoing investigation.

1092
01:20:46,046 --> 01:20:48,844
You're an ex-cop, Mr. District Attorney.
How do you feel?

1093
01:20:49,086 --> 01:20:50,075
Lousy.

1094
01:20:51,646 --> 01:20:55,434
I notice that three of the five names
were in the 74th precinct.

1095
01:20:56,046 --> 01:20:58,321
Isn't your father
in the 74th precinct?

1096
01:21:00,766 --> 01:21:03,121
If there's anything I hate
as much as a dirty cop...

1097
01:21:03,206 --> 01:21:07,119
it's a scandal-mongering reporter
looking for a sensationalist story.

1098
01:21:07,926 --> 01:21:09,917
Your smear of a good cop...

1099
01:21:10,326 --> 01:21:13,523
a cop who almost gave his life
for this city is despicable.

1100
01:21:14,566 --> 01:21:15,840
You find that funny?

1101
01:21:18,686 --> 01:21:20,438
Having said that, I can tell you that...

1102
01:21:20,486 --> 01:21:22,875
this investigation will go
wherever the evidence leads.

1103
01:21:22,966 --> 01:21:24,319
This press conference is over.

1104
01:21:29,646 --> 01:21:32,683
Eileen, any word on the warrant?
- Oh, I forgot to tell you.

1105
01:21:32,766 --> 01:21:34,757
We can't find any trace of the original.

1106
01:21:36,486 --> 01:21:38,875
How come?
- Happens all the time.

1107
01:21:44,846 --> 01:21:46,837
I'll clear this.
- Here, let me help you.

1108
01:21:46,886 --> 01:21:48,877
- I got it, thanks. Just sit there.

1109
01:21:49,126 --> 01:21:53,199
Like you to volunteer
after all the hard work's done, right?

1110
01:21:53,286 --> 01:21:55,277
Making the roast beef,
that's when I could've used you.

1111
01:21:55,366 --> 01:21:57,482
Peeling potatoes, scraping the carrots.

1112
01:21:57,566 --> 01:21:59,761
Sit there and drink your Guinea Red.
I'll take care of it.

1113
01:21:59,846 --> 01:22:02,679
It was great, Pop.
When did you learn how to cook?

1114
01:22:02,766 --> 01:22:04,518
Oh, after your mom died.

1115
01:22:05,046 --> 01:22:07,082
Days off got so damn lonely
around here.

1116
01:22:09,326 --> 01:22:11,237
But people were nice.

1117
01:22:11,726 --> 01:22:13,717
They kept on inviting me
for Sunday dinner.

1118
01:22:13,806 --> 01:22:16,445
I knew I'd have to invite them back
and restaurants round here ain't great.

1119
01:22:18,246 --> 01:22:22,842
Also, I tend to drink a little too much
in a restaurant, I don't know why.

1120
01:22:23,686 --> 01:22:27,679
So I started cooking.
Made my days off go faster.

1121
01:22:28,766 --> 01:22:31,564
And I could repay my neighbors like
a civilized man.

1122
01:22:32,566 --> 01:22:36,718
Go ahead, don't wait for me.
I'll just get some milk.

1123
01:22:38,046 --> 01:22:40,355
I can't take credit for that pie,
I'm afraid.

1124
01:22:41,006 --> 01:22:43,645
It's store bought,
but Casey heated.

1125
01:22:47,926 --> 01:22:50,918
There we go. Want some coffee?
- Yeah.

1126
01:22:51,686 --> 01:22:56,806
So, Sean, you wanted to see us,
and we wanted to see you.

1127
01:22:57,766 --> 01:23:00,997
So what's up?
- Go ahead, take it.

1128
01:23:03,206 --> 01:23:04,241
You first.

1129
01:23:09,446 --> 01:23:13,121
Okay, we got a little favor to ask you,
Seano.

1130
01:23:17,046 --> 01:23:22,245
Tough one, Pop?
- For you, I guess it will be. Go ahead.

1131
01:23:24,326 --> 01:23:27,284
I guess the only thing to do is say it.
- Right.

1132
01:23:30,926 --> 01:23:32,598
Got caught with my hand in
the cookie jar.

1133
01:23:35,686 --> 01:23:39,998
Whose cookie jar?
- Oh, Kleinhoff.

1134
01:23:41,766 --> 01:23:44,485
Somebody ratted me out to Internal
Affairs and they called me in.

1135
01:23:44,566 --> 01:23:45,760
How long you been on the take?

1136
01:23:47,526 --> 01:23:49,994
About four years.
- How much?

1137
01:23:51,326 --> 01:23:55,558
Over the whole time, I don't know,
about sixty or seventy grand.

1138
01:23:56,886 --> 01:23:57,921
Grand jury?

1139
01:24:00,326 --> 01:24:03,682
Yeah, in about two or three weeks.

1140
01:24:05,646 --> 01:24:10,322
What do you want me to do about it?
- Joey's offered to co-operate.

1141
01:24:10,886 --> 01:24:13,719
I told them, you know, they got me.

1142
01:24:14,046 --> 01:24:17,277
That fucking prick Wilson turned me down.
He says he's got everybody he needs.

1143
01:24:17,366 --> 01:24:19,357
Talk to him, Sean. He could use Joey.

1144
01:24:19,446 --> 01:24:21,357
One more witness never hurt
the prosecution.

1145
01:24:21,406 --> 01:24:23,237
He'll listen to you. You're the D.A.

1146
01:24:23,326 --> 01:24:27,080
It's a personal thing with that fucking
prick he's been after me for years.

1147
01:24:27,206 --> 01:24:29,595
About eight, nine years ago...
- Bullshit, bullshit.

1148
01:24:30,526 --> 01:24:32,562
You might as well be selling
dope yourself.

1149
01:24:33,166 --> 01:24:36,158
Sean, don't.
- What do you mean, don't.

1150
01:24:36,246 --> 01:24:38,680
Don't what, Pop?
Don't tell him he's a scumbag?

1151
01:24:39,086 --> 01:24:41,805
That he's a disgrace?
What about it, Pop?

1152
01:24:41,886 --> 01:24:44,719
You tell me: what do you want me to do?
- Sean, he's my partner.

1153
01:24:44,806 --> 01:24:48,242
Right, hold it. Just hold it.
I don't want you two to...

1154
01:24:49,046 --> 01:24:51,037
I mean, that's just not right.

1155
01:24:52,606 --> 01:24:55,837
Yeah, I'm your partner,
but this is your son.

1156
01:24:57,006 --> 01:24:59,281
And I don't want to cause no bad feeling
between you two.

1157
01:25:01,126 --> 01:25:04,755
And you, you can stop worrying, 'cause
he had nothing to do with anything.

1158
01:25:04,846 --> 01:25:07,406
There is no way I'm going to talk to
Internal Affairs about him.

1159
01:25:10,126 --> 01:25:14,722
What if I had something new to offer?
- Something new to offer? Like what?

1160
01:25:17,726 --> 01:25:22,004
There were eight cops who...
- Eight cops who what, Joey?

1161
01:25:24,926 --> 01:25:27,963
What?
- Talked about taking out Washington.

1162
01:25:34,686 --> 01:25:36,199
My God.

1163
01:25:38,246 --> 01:25:40,237
Including you, Joey?

1164
01:25:41,646 --> 01:25:43,637
Yeah, including me.

1165
01:25:45,046 --> 01:25:47,116
That night of the shoot-out,
they all came...

1166
01:25:47,206 --> 01:25:49,197
And they were there the night of.
the shoot-out, weren't they?

1167
01:25:49,406 --> 01:25:52,159
Including the two rat-fucks that
turned me into Wilson.

1168
01:25:52,246 --> 01:25:54,237
The two rat-fucks? Rat-fucks?

1169
01:25:56,046 --> 01:25:58,276
You took money from
Harlem's biggest dealer...

1170
01:25:58,326 --> 01:26:00,123
you committed perjury at his trial...

1171
01:26:00,166 --> 01:26:03,522
you engaged in a conspiracy to kill him
when he wouldn't cough up more dough

1172
01:26:03,566 --> 01:26:06,558
and now you're offering to turn in seven
other cops in order to save yourself...

1173
01:26:06,646 --> 01:26:08,637
and you have the nerve
to call them rat-fucks?

1174
01:26:11,046 --> 01:26:14,243
You were a cop, Joe, and
now you're garbage, you're nothing.

1175
01:26:15,126 --> 01:26:18,721
I hope some crazy junky takes you out
in an alley one night.

1176
01:27:01,566 --> 01:27:04,638
Sean, I didn't know.
- Vigoda was right.

1177
01:27:07,686 --> 01:27:11,281
It's funny, you spend years with
a partner, you live...

1178
01:27:12,246 --> 01:27:16,159
sometimes you die together.
But you don't know him.

1179
01:27:19,766 --> 01:27:22,121
Was Jordan Washington
the only honest witness at the trial?

1180
01:27:25,086 --> 01:27:26,997
You mean, did I lie about anything?

1181
01:27:30,926 --> 01:27:32,245
Course not, Pop.

1182
01:27:41,006 --> 01:27:42,121
Did you?

1183
01:27:54,526 --> 01:27:55,754
The warrant.

1184
01:28:00,566 --> 01:28:02,955
That's what I came to see you about.

1185
01:28:05,606 --> 01:28:07,597
What about it?

1186
01:28:08,486 --> 01:28:10,681
The day of the stake-out,
I made out a new one.

1187
01:28:10,726 --> 01:28:13,320
The old one expired the day before.
I made out a new one...

1188
01:28:13,406 --> 01:28:17,115
signed Impelliteri's name.
Nobody checks a signature.

1189
01:28:17,646 --> 01:28:21,241
Why? Pop, why?

1190
01:28:22,526 --> 01:28:23,515
Well...

1191
01:28:26,566 --> 01:28:30,445
Nail it, son.
Remember?

1192
01:28:32,366 --> 01:28:34,197
We were this close...

1193
01:28:35,326 --> 01:28:37,840
this close to nailing
that son-of-a bitch.

1194
01:28:39,686 --> 01:28:41,836
Snitch said he was going to show
that weekend.

1195
01:28:43,806 --> 01:28:47,321
Get an extension.
- It was a Friday.

1196
01:28:48,326 --> 01:28:51,523
Go find a judge at 3 o'clock on a Friday
- No, you could have found one, Pop.

1197
01:28:51,606 --> 01:28:55,884
How many judges do you think I know?
Huh? And I don't trust half of them.

1198
01:28:58,486 --> 01:29:00,078
I wanted Jordan Washington.

1199
01:29:02,206 --> 01:29:07,644
You don't know how bad I wanted him.
Biggest fucking collar of my whole life.

1200
01:29:08,486 --> 01:29:11,284
And that bastard, murderer,

1201
01:29:12,446 --> 01:29:14,198
A man who destroys his own people

1202
01:29:14,246 --> 01:29:16,237
They did it to him.
Now he was doing it to others.

1203
01:29:16,286 --> 01:29:19,483
And there were fifteen cops helping him.
- Don't give me that shit.

1204
01:29:20,126 --> 01:29:25,405
Six hundred thousand dollars a year?
Six hundred thousand dollars a year?

1205
01:29:27,366 --> 01:29:29,118
How many can resist that?

1206
01:29:31,966 --> 01:29:34,161
How many doctors, lawyers...

1207
01:29:34,246 --> 01:29:36,316
the bastards who put the gas tanks
in the wrong place?

1208
01:29:36,446 --> 01:29:41,361
Those fucks that buy boats with
other people's life savings.

1209
01:29:41,446 --> 01:29:44,643
Tell me, who can resist six hundred
thousand dollars?

1210
01:29:50,126 --> 01:29:55,484
I'll tell you who: twenty-seven thousand
other cops on the force, that's who.

1211
01:29:56,206 --> 01:29:58,800
Or maybe it's twenty-six thousand or
twenty-five thousand.

1212
01:29:58,886 --> 01:30:04,324
Or maybe it's twenty thousand. But it's
more than the rest of the goddam country.

1213
01:30:07,926 --> 01:30:11,635
And to top it all off, two of us go in,
me and Joey.

1214
01:30:12,406 --> 01:30:17,924
Two of us go through that door because
we want Jordan Washington.

1215
01:30:20,046 --> 01:30:22,606
Only Jesus Christ stopped me from
killing him on the spot.

1216
01:30:24,446 --> 01:30:29,520
And you think I'm going to let him walk,
when all I got to do is go down the hall,

1217
01:30:30,486 --> 01:30:34,320
Make a copy, smudge it up a little.
Leave it on my desk.

1218
01:30:37,526 --> 01:30:39,517
I'll be sure I'd rather do time than
not do what I did.

1219
01:30:39,566 --> 01:30:41,284
It can happen, Pop.

1220
01:30:43,806 --> 01:30:46,400
You can do time and Jordan'll walk
if word gets out.

1221
01:30:53,326 --> 01:30:54,998
I need some wine.

1222
01:30:56,486 --> 01:31:02,516
I still got it. The warrant.
The original. The outdated one.

1223
01:31:03,886 --> 01:31:07,515
I got kind of superstitious. I wanted
the jacket around me to remind me

1224
01:31:07,606 --> 01:31:09,597
how close I'd come to dying.

1225
01:31:14,286 --> 01:31:15,799
How lucky I've been after...

1226
01:31:17,846 --> 01:31:21,475
you know how many years?
- Thirty-seven.

1227
01:31:21,566 --> 01:31:23,557
Thirty-seven.

1228
01:31:25,446 --> 01:31:27,641
When I left the hospital, they gave me
my clothes back.

1229
01:31:27,726 --> 01:31:29,717
The jacket and shoes are all that's left.

1230
01:31:29,806 --> 01:31:33,560
The shirt, the pants, they had to cut
them away. I reached in the pocket...

1231
01:31:34,606 --> 01:31:36,278
and there it was.

1232
01:31:41,526 --> 01:31:43,801
Jesus Christ, what a mess
I've brought to you.

1233
01:31:48,766 --> 01:31:53,965
I think I'm going to head home now, Pop.
- Listen, Sean,

1234
01:31:57,166 --> 01:31:58,645
If you can't live with this...

1235
01:32:02,126 --> 01:32:05,675
you know, just keeping a secret
about the warrant, just tell me.

1236
01:32:07,566 --> 01:32:09,602
I don't want you to carry the burden.

1237
01:32:10,166 --> 01:32:12,157
I'll go in and tell them I did it.

1238
01:32:12,246 --> 01:32:14,714
I don't want you to go against your
feelings, because you know what's right.

1239
01:32:16,206 --> 01:32:22,122
I'm just an old cop who maybe should
have been put out to pasture long ago.

1240
01:32:23,486 --> 01:32:25,795
There's so much going on
I just don't understand anymore.

1241
01:34:01,646 --> 01:34:03,079
Joey's dead.

1242
01:34:05,486 --> 01:34:06,999
He shot himself.

1243
01:34:19,646 --> 01:34:22,922
How did you hear?
- Morning news, driving down here.

1244
01:34:26,446 --> 01:34:29,085
Did he leave a note?
A note, did he leave a note?

1245
01:34:29,166 --> 01:34:31,157
They didn't say.

1246
01:34:31,406 --> 01:34:32,521
Frank?
- Yeah?

1247
01:34:32,606 --> 01:34:34,244
Can I use your phone?
- Sure.

1248
01:34:39,366 --> 01:34:41,357
Can't have Pop hear it alone.

1249
01:34:41,446 --> 01:34:44,597
This is Liam Casey.
Please leave a message. Thank you.

1250
01:34:46,206 --> 01:34:47,195
I got to get out there.

1251
01:34:58,246 --> 01:35:00,362
Pop. Pop.

1252
01:35:07,406 --> 01:35:08,395
Pop?

1253
01:35:10,206 --> 01:35:11,195
Pop?

1254
01:35:13,086 --> 01:35:14,917
Pop. Pop.

1255
01:35:24,966 --> 01:35:28,197
Peggy, he's not here.
I want to get to the office, come on.

1256
01:35:28,286 --> 01:35:30,277
Just in case he calls.

1257
01:35:41,566 --> 01:35:43,158
You want me to come up with you?

1258
01:35:45,486 --> 01:35:47,477
I'll get some work done.

1259
01:35:47,806 --> 01:35:50,320
Hey, whose car?
- Mine.

1260
01:35:50,406 --> 01:35:51,885
Then move it.

1261
01:35:52,526 --> 01:35:55,916
Sean, are you all right?
- Yeah.

1262
01:36:11,406 --> 01:36:13,442
Detective Casey, nice to see you.

1263
01:36:13,846 --> 01:36:16,679
I'm real sorry
I had to call you at home, your honor.

1264
01:36:17,326 --> 01:36:18,918
Thanks for seeing me.
- No big deal. Come on in.

1265
01:36:18,966 --> 01:36:19,955
Thank you.

1266
01:36:28,766 --> 01:36:30,165
Come in.

1267
01:36:37,126 --> 01:36:39,162
Is this what I think it is?

1268
01:36:43,246 --> 01:36:44,679
What do you think it is?

1269
01:36:45,606 --> 01:36:48,598
During the trial, there was
a Xerox of the arrest warrant.

1270
01:36:48,686 --> 01:36:52,520
As soon as I saw this
I knew this was the original...

1271
01:36:53,646 --> 01:36:56,365
and that there is probably
a difference between the two.

1272
01:36:58,966 --> 01:37:01,639
Is there?
- Yeah.

1273
01:37:04,566 --> 01:37:07,239
The date was changed and the signature.

1274
01:37:10,206 --> 01:37:13,403
You going to take it to Vigoda?
- I have to.

1275
01:37:34,126 --> 01:37:38,438
I can't. Hear.
I work for him and I'm in love with you.

1276
01:37:48,326 --> 01:37:50,317
I'm the D.A. and
I'm not to destroy evidence.

1277
01:37:50,366 --> 01:37:51,924
It's happened before.

1278
01:37:54,326 --> 01:37:56,203
It wasn't supposed to happen to me

1279
01:37:56,246 --> 01:37:58,476
It's not supposed to happen to any of us

1280
01:38:05,566 --> 01:38:07,318
That's the story, your honor.

1281
01:38:11,166 --> 01:38:16,081
So I came to turn myself in.
- Wow.

1282
01:39:05,646 --> 01:39:06,635
Hello?

1283
01:39:07,206 --> 01:39:08,798
Mr. Casey?
- Yes.

1284
01:39:08,846 --> 01:39:10,837
Impelliteri here.

1285
01:39:12,286 --> 01:39:14,277
Your dad's sitting here with me.

1286
01:39:14,366 --> 01:39:17,517
He's just told me some cock and
bull story about an arrest warrant.

1287
01:39:18,886 --> 01:39:20,558
It seems to me he's confused.

1288
01:39:20,606 --> 01:39:23,837
I distinctly remember filling out
the warrant for him on the raid day.

1289
01:39:24,686 --> 01:39:26,677
What was that date again, Liam?

1290
01:39:27,966 --> 01:39:31,959
October 13th.
- Right, October 13th.

1291
01:39:32,006 --> 01:39:34,566
I can remember it as clearly as
if I were doing it now.

1292
01:39:36,886 --> 01:39:38,922
I was so excited at the idea that
we might bring in Jordan Washington,

1293
01:39:39,006 --> 01:39:40,997
I couldn't wait to fill it out.

1294
01:39:41,446 --> 01:39:43,880
I wished him good luck, I remember that.

1295
01:39:43,966 --> 01:39:46,958
He told me there's another warrant.
floating round. Do you have it?

1296
01:39:47,366 --> 01:39:49,357
Yes, your honor.

1297
01:39:49,446 --> 01:39:51,721
Get rid of it.
I've got the original right here.

1298
01:39:52,286 --> 01:39:55,164
It must have been sent to the house
instead of the office.

1299
01:39:55,246 --> 01:39:57,237
I'll bring it in with me today.

1300
01:40:01,486 --> 01:40:02,839
Thanks, your honor.

1301
01:40:08,726 --> 01:40:13,163
Your honor, may I speak to my father,
please?

1302
01:40:13,766 --> 01:40:15,165
Your son wants you.

1303
01:40:18,166 --> 01:40:19,918
Hey, Seano.

1304
01:40:20,006 --> 01:40:26,002
Pop. Pop?
Did you hear about Joey?

1305
01:40:26,926 --> 01:40:28,917
No.

1306
01:40:33,526 --> 01:40:35,517
What?

1307
01:40:35,846 --> 01:40:37,837
It's bad news, Pop.

1308
01:41:08,726 --> 01:41:12,082
So I'm quitting.
- Why quit?

1309
01:41:14,406 --> 01:41:18,319
Because I can see where it's going:
I owe Impelliteri,

1310
01:41:19,846 --> 01:41:21,598
I don't know who my father owes.

1311
01:41:22,526 --> 01:41:25,245
I owe Peggy. Peggy owes you
for not bringing you the warrant.

1312
01:41:25,326 --> 01:41:27,317
It'll go on forever.

1313
01:41:27,446 --> 01:41:32,759
Oh, goddamn it. Sean, things never
work out as simply as you want them to.

1314
01:41:35,646 --> 01:41:40,959
If Peggy had brought me that warrant,
I don't know that I would have used it.

1315
01:41:43,446 --> 01:41:46,563
I mean it I was after dirty cops,
I got dirty cops.

1316
01:41:46,646 --> 01:41:48,637
Why should I let
that animal back out on the street?

1317
01:41:48,726 --> 01:41:53,004
What about his rights?
- Oh, I'm not perfect.

1318
01:41:54,566 --> 01:41:56,955
I never thought I was perfect.
Do you think you're perfect?

1319
01:42:00,286 --> 01:42:01,639
Not any more.

1320
01:42:03,686 --> 01:42:06,917
My name is McGovern.
Mr. McGovern to you.

1321
01:42:07,806 --> 01:42:10,400
I'm the Assistant to the Assistant
Deputy Administrative Assistant to

1322
01:42:10,486 --> 01:42:12,477
the District Attorney of New York County.

1323
01:42:13,846 --> 01:42:15,996
We're starting something new this year.

1324
01:42:17,006 --> 01:42:19,759
The District Attorney will be giving
the opening orientation lecture.

1325
01:42:19,846 --> 01:42:21,757
Ladies and gentlemen,
District Attorney Casey.

1326
01:42:32,646 --> 01:42:34,876
Eight months ago I was ready to resign.

1327
01:42:36,366 --> 01:42:39,881
It was all so much more complicated
than I imagined.

1328
01:42:42,446 --> 01:42:46,519
It started when I was an ADA,
just as you hope to be soon.

1329
01:42:48,686 --> 01:42:50,677
My first time out,
first time in Night Court...

1330
01:42:50,766 --> 01:42:52,757
I had eighteen cases to handle.

1331
01:42:53,166 --> 01:42:55,157
And as you'll soon find out,
you have to arraign your perps...

1332
01:42:55,246 --> 01:42:57,237
within
twenty-four hours of their arrest.

1333
01:42:59,966 --> 01:43:01,684
One half hour before court...

1334
01:43:01,726 --> 01:43:04,035
I finally got all my yellow sheets
down from Albany...

1335
01:43:04,086 --> 01:43:06,156
and the first guy up
I've never seen him before...

1336
01:43:07,006 --> 01:43:11,557
but his yellow sheet shows he's got
one prior conviction for robbery.

1337
01:43:13,126 --> 01:43:17,005
But I don't know if he mugged an old
lady in an alley to feed his habit...

1338
01:43:17,966 --> 01:43:21,402
or he stole food from a supermarket
to feed his kids.

1339
01:43:25,766 --> 01:43:27,836
And later I got involved in a case
where...

1340
01:43:27,886 --> 01:43:31,162
breaking the law was more just
than upholding the law.

1341
01:43:34,046 --> 01:43:35,798
And upholding the law killed a man.

1342
01:43:38,886 --> 01:43:42,037
I don't have to prepare you for a job
where circumstances are black and white.

1343
01:43:42,806 --> 01:43:45,195
I was lucky I had a case like that
to launch my career.

1344
01:43:46,966 --> 01:43:49,275
But you're going to spend
most of your time in the grey areas.

1345
01:43:51,366 --> 01:43:54,164
Out there, that's where you're to come
face to face with who you really are.

1346
01:43:57,166 --> 01:43:59,157
That's a frightening thing to ask of you.

1347
01:44:00,086 --> 01:44:02,236
It might take a lifetime to figure out.

1348
01:44:03,046 --> 01:44:05,002
For me, I know I have two things.

1349
01:44:07,286 --> 01:44:09,641
I know I still have complete faith
in the law.

1350
01:44:12,686 --> 01:44:14,677
And I also know I'm fallible.

1351
01:44:15,446 --> 01:44:18,199
And I just hope
God is not finished with me yet.

1352
01:44:20,726 --> 01:44:24,326
For you, it's going to depend on
who you are right now.

1353
01:44:24,361 --> 01:44:26,317
If you're in it for the hustle...

1354
01:44:26,366 --> 01:44:30,564
I guarantee you,
you're going to come across a case...

1355
01:44:31,046 --> 01:44:35,244
that you actually believe in
and you're going to lose it.

1356
01:44:36,726 --> 01:44:39,194
It's going to break your heart
and you'll be damned.

1357
01:44:40,366 --> 01:44:42,436
If you think you're a saint,
I guarantee you...

1358
01:44:42,526 --> 01:44:45,165
you're going to come across a case where
you're going to have to make a deal...

1359
01:44:45,246 --> 01:44:47,237
and you're going to win it.

1360
01:44:48,886 --> 01:44:50,478
And that'll break your heart...

1361
01:44:53,206 --> 01:44:54,605
and you'll be damned.

1362
01:44:56,486 --> 01:44:59,000
So you might as well believe in it
from the beginning.

1363
01:44:59,846 --> 01:45:01,916
Hurts less that way.

1364
01:45:07,326 --> 01:45:11,524
If you get tired, get out,
because I'll fire you.

1365
01:45:12,566 --> 01:45:14,557
If you find that the funny stories are
starting to matter more than the case,

1366
01:45:14,646 --> 01:45:16,477
get out or I'm going to fire you.

1367
01:45:18,326 --> 01:45:21,318
And if, God forbid, you wake up one day
and you just don't care anymore...

1368
01:45:21,366 --> 01:45:23,721
then please, just get out.

1369
01:45:24,486 --> 01:45:26,204
Because then I'm going to really
have to fire you.

1370
01:45:30,206 --> 01:45:32,356
But if you're ready to take
that kind of risk...

1371
01:45:36,006 --> 01:45:37,155
welcome.

1372
01:45:39,566 --> 01:45:41,921
And as an old retired cop
used to say to me:

1373
01:45:44,766 --> 01:45:49,044
Nail it.
And good luck to you all
