1
00:00:02,837 --> 00:00:04,668
In the criminal
justice system,
2
00:00:04,668 --> 00:00:08,574
the people are represented by two
separate yet equally important groups:
3
00:00:08,574 --> 00:00:10,542
The police
who investigate crime
4
00:00:10,542 --> 00:00:13,446
and the district attorneys
who prosecute the offenders.
5
00:00:13,446 --> 00:00:15,278
These are their stories.
6
00:00:22,725 --> 00:00:24,750
Hey, you're scaring
my dinner away!
7
00:00:24,750 --> 00:00:26,556
Go play somewhere else!
8
00:00:45,415 --> 00:00:47,406
What do you think
he was fishing for?
9
00:00:47,406 --> 00:00:48,508
In the Hudson?
10
00:00:48,508 --> 00:00:51,486
I don't want to breathe near
it, let alone eat from it.
11
00:00:51,486 --> 00:00:53,489
Well, what have we got?
12
00:00:53,489 --> 00:00:55,149
A floater. Female.
13
00:00:55,859 --> 00:00:57,554
Weighted with concrete blocks.
14
00:00:57,554 --> 00:01:00,096
Must have been more,
they fell off.
15
00:01:00,096 --> 00:01:02,257
Handcuffed behind her back.
16
00:01:10,941 --> 00:01:13,536
You thinkir a cop?
Forget it.
17
00:01:13,536 --> 00:01:15,738
Cuffs are Grenadiers,
not our brand.
18
00:01:16,681 --> 00:01:18,342
Been in the water
maybe eight weeks.
19
00:01:18,342 --> 00:01:19,678
Hispanic, Italian.
20
00:01:19,678 --> 00:01:21,377
Lamp cord around her neck.
21
00:01:21,377 --> 00:01:23,545
Probably strangled,
then dumped.
22
00:01:23,545 --> 00:01:25,646
Steinmetz, you've seen
your share of floaters.
23
00:01:25,646 --> 00:01:27,021
How old do you think she is?
24
00:01:27,021 --> 00:01:29,617
Post-mortem decomposition,
tough call.
25
00:01:29,617 --> 00:01:32,721
My guess?
She never saw sweet 16.
26
00:01:41,807 --> 00:01:42,865
I don't need this.
27
00:01:42,865 --> 00:01:45,068
That kid's the same age
as Linda.
28
00:01:45,410 --> 00:01:47,275
You know Lopez
in the one-nine?
29
00:01:47,275 --> 00:01:48,278
No.
30
00:01:48,278 --> 00:01:49,712
He's a good cop.
31
00:01:50,048 --> 00:01:51,607
He had a case.
32
00:01:51,607 --> 00:01:55,211
Male Hispanic teenager.
Floater, East River.
33
00:01:55,211 --> 00:01:57,984
Strangled, electric cord,
handcuffed.
34
00:01:59,958 --> 00:02:01,653
He said
all he could think about
35
00:02:01,653 --> 00:02:03,419
was the kid was so small
36
00:02:03,419 --> 00:02:05,555
he didn't fill
half the body bag.
37
00:02:06,065 --> 00:02:07,157
Concrete blocks?
38
00:02:07,157 --> 00:02:08,791
Fire bricks.
39
00:02:08,791 --> 00:02:10,597
They never got an ID.
40
00:02:12,972 --> 00:02:14,439
This ain't a pro.
41
00:02:15,842 --> 00:02:19,335
Our friends in silk suits weight
them so they never come up.
42
00:02:20,214 --> 00:02:21,909
Which leads us where?
43
00:03:45,735 --> 00:03:47,566
Oh, boy! Oh, boy!
44
00:03:47,566 --> 00:03:50,266
A kid that age,
doesn't she have parents?
45
00:03:50,266 --> 00:03:53,571
Cousins? I mean, somebody who's
gonna notice that she's missing?
46
00:03:53,571 --> 00:03:55,737
The ME says
she's probably Hispanic.
47
00:03:55,737 --> 00:03:57,541
Eleven girls
were reported missing.
48
00:03:57,541 --> 00:03:58,945
Seven have already turned up.
49
00:03:58,945 --> 00:04:01,850
The other four don't match in
terms of hair or color of eyes.
50
00:04:01,850 --> 00:04:02,908
So, what do you think?
51
00:04:02,908 --> 00:04:04,978
I mean, I know what we do
with our handcuffs,
52
00:04:04,978 --> 00:04:07,024
but obviously,
some people have other uses.
53
00:04:07,024 --> 00:04:09,786
Well, it's hard to tell if she
was raped. I talked to Sex Crimes.
54
00:04:09,786 --> 00:04:11,487
They have ropes, dog leashes,
55
00:04:11,487 --> 00:04:13,756
but no homicides
with handcuffs.
56
00:04:13,756 --> 00:04:16,959
Yeah, I appreciate that. I'll
call if we need more. Thank you.
57
00:04:17,368 --> 00:04:19,393
Grenadier ships
40,000 cuffs a year.
58
00:04:19,937 --> 00:04:21,802
Big market
with the fringe crowd.
59
00:04:21,802 --> 00:04:23,636
Survival catalogues,
adventure stores,
60
00:04:23,636 --> 00:04:25,573
you know, Ollie North country.
61
00:04:25,573 --> 00:04:29,876
Direct sales to cops in
California, Montana, and Missouri.
62
00:04:29,876 --> 00:04:32,781
Why don't I think
this was a cop from Missoula?
63
00:04:32,781 --> 00:04:34,477
Wouldrt find him if it was.
64
00:04:34,477 --> 00:04:37,612
The lot number on the
ones we got, 9,000 pair.
65
00:04:39,023 --> 00:04:41,788
We got a serial perv.
And from what the FBI says,
66
00:04:41,788 --> 00:04:43,225
they don't leave breadcrumbs.
67
00:04:43,225 --> 00:04:44,557
Forensics.
68
00:04:44,863 --> 00:04:47,058
Uh, they got a, you know, uh...
69
00:04:47,700 --> 00:04:49,827
She studies bodies and faces.
70
00:04:50,202 --> 00:04:51,669
An anthropologist.
71
00:04:51,669 --> 00:04:52,669
So?
72
00:04:52,669 --> 00:04:55,731
So wouldn't it be nice
to have an ID on the girl?
73
00:04:55,731 --> 00:04:59,336
Last month, they identified
a body from a picture.
74
00:04:59,336 --> 00:05:01,038
Matched up a face and a skull.
75
00:05:01,038 --> 00:05:02,273
What if they reverse that?
76
00:05:02,273 --> 00:05:04,680
Start with the skull
and work out. Make us a face.
77
00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:06,012
Oh, I think I saw that movie.
78
00:05:06,012 --> 00:05:07,246
Well, see it again.
79
00:05:07,246 --> 00:05:10,187
The march of technology,
Phil. Sometimes it works.
80
00:05:10,187 --> 00:05:12,986
And the boy from the other
case, where's he buried?
81
00:05:12,986 --> 00:05:14,549
Potter's field.
82
00:05:14,549 --> 00:05:16,595
Get an order, have him exhumed.
83
00:05:16,595 --> 00:05:18,824
Maybe we can get
a face on him, too.
84
00:05:22,236 --> 00:05:23,294
Is it possible?
85
00:05:23,294 --> 00:05:25,202
Who said the accidents
of the possible
86
00:05:25,202 --> 00:05:27,364
were the future of the
probable? Was it Einstein?
87
00:05:27,364 --> 00:05:29,670
I don't think
we're the ones to ask.
88
00:05:29,670 --> 00:05:31,108
This is the boy
you had exhumed.
89
00:05:31,108 --> 00:05:33,442
I took all the aspects
of the facial structure.
90
00:05:33,442 --> 00:05:34,776
Based on my measurements,
91
00:05:34,776 --> 00:05:37,579
my sketch artist
has worked up a face.
92
00:05:37,952 --> 00:05:39,419
Now I'm refining it.
93
00:05:42,823 --> 00:05:45,291
How close is that going to be
to what he looked like?
94
00:05:45,291 --> 00:05:48,227
You'll know
when somebody identifies him.
95
00:05:48,630 --> 00:05:49,892
I'm working on the girl.
96
00:05:53,100 --> 00:05:54,431
Dr. Sacks.
97
00:05:56,437 --> 00:05:58,565
It's for you.
Missing Persons.
98
00:05:58,974 --> 00:06:02,410
You asked for
floaters 14 to 17, strangled.
99
00:06:02,410 --> 00:06:04,069
Don't tell me
you found another one.
100
00:06:04,069 --> 00:06:05,272
Almost.
101
00:06:08,617 --> 00:06:12,076
Male, 49, Caucasian,
found belly down
102
00:06:12,076 --> 00:06:14,589
in the Hudson
off the Spuyten Duyvil.
103
00:06:14,589 --> 00:06:17,091
Uh, strangled
with his own necktie.
104
00:06:18,293 --> 00:06:19,851
Ira Bender.
Missing six weeks,
105
00:06:19,851 --> 00:06:22,328
inspector for the
Apparel Industry Task Force.
106
00:06:22,328 --> 00:06:24,228
Investigated sweatshops.
107
00:06:24,228 --> 00:06:25,597
He surfaced last month.
108
00:06:25,597 --> 00:06:27,431
We get water.
We get strangled.
109
00:06:27,431 --> 00:06:28,970
But not often,
and never together.
110
00:06:28,970 --> 00:06:30,437
Who's the lead detective?
111
00:06:30,437 --> 00:06:31,734
Markson, two-seven.
112
00:06:31,734 --> 00:06:33,435
Yeah, I called.
He's expecting you.
113
00:06:33,435 --> 00:06:34,441
Hmm.
114
00:06:34,441 --> 00:06:35,670
Thank you.
115
00:06:37,313 --> 00:06:39,646
Bender? Oh, yeah.
We're talking Mack Truck.
116
00:06:39,646 --> 00:06:41,581
This guy made me look
like an anorexic.
117
00:06:41,581 --> 00:06:43,643
First I thought he was
just bloated from the river.
118
00:06:43,643 --> 00:06:45,619
Hey, look, it's a
dead-end case. Forget it.
119
00:06:45,619 --> 00:06:47,280
He was investigating
sweatshops.
120
00:06:47,280 --> 00:06:49,051
Maybe he tried
to close somebody down?
121
00:06:49,051 --> 00:06:51,253
What, an inspector?
He couldn't close a closet.
122
00:06:51,253 --> 00:06:53,193
You can give a summons.
123
00:06:54,031 --> 00:06:56,761
The garment business,
you know, it's still 1930.
124
00:06:56,761 --> 00:06:58,358
You got 5,000 sweatshops,
125
00:06:58,358 --> 00:07:00,903
you got 50,000 immigrants
at sewing machines.
126
00:07:00,903 --> 00:07:04,169
Most of these places, they got
eight, nine people, lots of them kids.
127
00:07:04,169 --> 00:07:06,335
They get paid crap
if they get paid at all,
128
00:07:06,335 --> 00:07:07,844
and nobody complains,
129
00:07:07,844 --> 00:07:09,811
because they're
all illegal anyway.
130
00:07:09,811 --> 00:07:10,972
And the Feds,
131
00:07:10,972 --> 00:07:13,243
they don't even inspect
with less than 10 workers.
132
00:07:13,243 --> 00:07:14,306
But the city does.
133
00:07:14,306 --> 00:07:15,783
Yeah, so give them a summons.
134
00:07:15,783 --> 00:07:18,084
Child labor,
locked windows, you know.
135
00:07:18,084 --> 00:07:20,147
They tear it up,
they move to a new hellhole.
136
00:07:20,147 --> 00:07:21,954
It's like a floating crap game.
137
00:07:21,954 --> 00:07:23,493
What about Ira Bender?
138
00:07:23,493 --> 00:07:26,257
The day he disappeared,
six stops.
139
00:07:26,257 --> 00:07:28,697
He shows up at all six,
not one summons
140
00:07:28,697 --> 00:07:30,359
and even if he gave one,
141
00:07:30,359 --> 00:07:32,631
who'd kill him for a $600 fine?
142
00:07:32,631 --> 00:07:33,899
Thanks.
143
00:07:34,707 --> 00:07:36,298
Two Hispanic teenagers.
144
00:07:36,298 --> 00:07:38,205
You got better candidates
for a sweatshop?
145
00:07:38,205 --> 00:07:40,335
I'll grant you, but the
inspector makes no sense.
146
00:07:40,335 --> 00:07:42,276
If anybody really cared
about people working
147
00:07:42,276 --> 00:07:44,009
for slave wages,
it would've stopped.
148
00:07:44,009 --> 00:07:46,517
They got half the city scared
about parking tickets.
149
00:07:46,517 --> 00:07:49,053
You read the ME's report
on the girl?
150
00:07:49,355 --> 00:07:52,347
Scars, cuts on her fingers.
151
00:07:52,347 --> 00:07:53,982
Same as the boy
when they found him.
152
00:07:53,982 --> 00:07:55,822
They didn't get that
making fruit salad.
153
00:07:55,822 --> 00:07:57,056
They were cutting fabric.
154
00:07:57,056 --> 00:08:00,361
All right, let's see what
Forensics has on the girl's face.
155
00:08:04,403 --> 00:08:07,338
Move the left eye
in about 2 cm.
156
00:08:10,377 --> 00:08:11,639
Good. Print it.
157
00:08:18,218 --> 00:08:20,914
I think the girl's
more accurate than the boy.
158
00:08:20,914 --> 00:08:23,980
With the picture of her face,
we had more to work with.
159
00:08:23,980 --> 00:08:25,457
Here they are.
160
00:08:27,594 --> 00:08:29,755
So, what do you think?
Puerto Rican, Dominican?
161
00:08:29,755 --> 00:08:32,024
From the nose
and the cheekbones,
162
00:08:32,699 --> 00:08:35,931
I'd say more likely
Mezzo-American. Mexican.
163
00:08:35,931 --> 00:08:37,059
Ira Bender.
164
00:08:37,059 --> 00:08:39,197
Remember his last stop
the day he disappeared?
165
00:08:39,197 --> 00:08:41,503
The Bronx.
Tremont in the Bronx.
166
00:08:41,503 --> 00:08:43,009
Our newest immigrant paradise.
167
00:08:43,009 --> 00:08:44,305
Mexicans.
168
00:08:44,879 --> 00:08:47,905
They could be anybody,
these kids.
169
00:08:49,151 --> 00:08:51,711
You sure they don't resemble
somebody you've seen?
170
00:08:53,254 --> 00:08:54,915
Where's the nearest
high school?
171
00:08:54,915 --> 00:08:56,286
What country you in, man?
172
00:08:56,286 --> 00:08:58,052
Nobody go to school.
173
00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:00,923
Where do the kids hang out?
174
00:09:00,923 --> 00:09:03,191
The club.
El Tampequeño.
175
00:09:03,765 --> 00:09:06,199
Ask for Rudy. He
teaches them how to play.
176
00:09:08,503 --> 00:09:10,835
I said, do you recognize them?
177
00:09:11,373 --> 00:09:12,397
I don't see too good.
178
00:09:12,397 --> 00:09:13,463
Oh, you blind?
179
00:09:13,463 --> 00:09:15,443
I'll smack that hairdo
right off your head!
180
00:09:15,443 --> 00:09:17,445
Mike! Mike!
181
00:09:18,314 --> 00:09:20,281
Amigos, what's the problem?
182
00:09:21,283 --> 00:09:22,944
What can we do for you?
183
00:09:23,485 --> 00:09:25,146
Rudy Armandariz.
It's my place.
184
00:09:25,146 --> 00:09:27,485
Hey, you said Rudy left.
He wasrt coming back.
185
00:09:27,485 --> 00:09:30,617
Hector, tough guy, huh?
Be nice, huh?
186
00:09:31,628 --> 00:09:34,461
We don't see cops too much,
you know. Just Immigration.
187
00:09:34,461 --> 00:09:38,057
Hey, we gonna make friends, I'm
sorry, you don't make top of the list.
188
00:09:38,057 --> 00:09:40,399
How do you know
we're not Immigration?
189
00:09:40,399 --> 00:09:42,098
With those shoes?
190
00:09:42,098 --> 00:09:44,969
La miga, they get paid
a little better, I think.
191
00:09:49,412 --> 00:09:50,674
Beers for our friends.
192
00:09:50,674 --> 00:09:53,410
No, no, no, no, thanks.
Have you seen these kids?
193
00:09:56,553 --> 00:09:57,645
Ah, kids!
194
00:09:58,122 --> 00:10:00,317
They think New York is gold
in the streets.
195
00:10:00,317 --> 00:10:02,951
They come here to make money,
send it home.
196
00:10:02,951 --> 00:10:04,858
Better they stay in Mexico.
197
00:10:04,858 --> 00:10:07,090
Prostitution, drugs,
then they disappear.
198
00:10:07,090 --> 00:10:09,099
Does that mean yes or no?
199
00:10:09,701 --> 00:10:11,429
We don't know those kids.
200
00:10:14,038 --> 00:10:16,336
You could've
broken that kid's arm.
201
00:10:16,336 --> 00:10:18,602
He threatened me
with that pool cue.
202
00:10:21,746 --> 00:10:24,078
This case is
pushing my buttons.
203
00:10:24,616 --> 00:10:26,106
The next button it could push
204
00:10:26,106 --> 00:10:28,209
is the one
at the Civilian Review Board.
205
00:10:37,929 --> 00:10:40,056
You see 'em?
You recognize 'em?
206
00:10:43,468 --> 00:10:45,436
He speak English.
207
00:10:57,650 --> 00:10:59,243
What? What? Come on.
208
00:10:59,243 --> 00:11:02,446
I know Eduardo and María,
his cousin.
209
00:11:02,788 --> 00:11:04,983
You know, on the street.
210
00:11:05,658 --> 00:11:06,989
I haven't seen them.
211
00:11:06,989 --> 00:11:08,390
They have family?
212
00:11:10,930 --> 00:11:12,159
In Acuña.
213
00:11:12,632 --> 00:11:14,156
They worked making dresses
214
00:11:14,156 --> 00:11:16,498
so they could bring their
brothers and sisters here.
215
00:11:16,498 --> 00:11:18,765
Where did they
make the dresses?
216
00:11:26,147 --> 00:11:28,444
Okay? I'm finished now?
217
00:11:29,082 --> 00:11:31,414
Yeah. Gracias, okay.
218
00:11:32,886 --> 00:11:34,877
Well, this is progress, huh?
219
00:11:38,693 --> 00:11:40,251
Those kids worked here.
220
00:11:40,251 --> 00:11:42,421
Ira Bender was
investigating a sweatshop
221
00:11:42,421 --> 00:11:44,431
in this building
before he disappeared.
222
00:11:44,431 --> 00:11:46,296
You want to think
about a warrant?
223
00:11:49,470 --> 00:11:51,098
You need a warrant for this?
224
00:11:51,098 --> 00:11:54,040
Well, I guess
we're not really breaking in.
225
00:12:57,174 --> 00:12:58,334
Phil!
226
00:13:17,962 --> 00:13:19,554
So, what are you saying to me?
227
00:13:19,554 --> 00:13:21,757
They had people here
who were slaves?
228
00:13:21,757 --> 00:13:23,061
Handcuffs.
229
00:13:23,061 --> 00:13:25,762
And they werert
playing cops and robbers.
230
00:13:25,762 --> 00:13:28,237
In Texas,
with migrant workers, maybe.
231
00:13:28,237 --> 00:13:29,603
But here...
232
00:13:29,841 --> 00:13:33,777
So this Insp. Bender, he's looking
around, he walks in on this.
233
00:13:34,246 --> 00:13:37,841
They ain't gonna buy him off
with a few dresses for his wife.
234
00:13:38,116 --> 00:13:39,743
A belt buckle and a zipper.
235
00:13:39,743 --> 00:13:42,412
Tough to trace,
but this clothing label.
236
00:13:42,412 --> 00:13:46,287
"Wedded Bliss Fashions. The finest
wedding gowns in the world."
237
00:13:49,262 --> 00:13:51,196
This is one of ours, yes.
238
00:13:51,530 --> 00:13:54,124
Brides, bridesmaids,
flower girls.
239
00:13:54,367 --> 00:13:56,267
Thank God people
are getting married again.
240
00:13:56,267 --> 00:13:58,633
Must take a lot of work
to make one of these, eh?
241
00:13:58,633 --> 00:14:01,138
Every stitch
made for a lifetime.
242
00:14:01,138 --> 00:14:02,835
And made in America.
243
00:14:03,377 --> 00:14:04,866
At Third-World wages.
244
00:14:04,866 --> 00:14:06,775
Oh, I don't know
that's the case at all.
245
00:14:06,775 --> 00:14:08,074
You work in a sweatshop,
246
00:14:08,074 --> 00:14:10,308
you don't get to wear
one of these at the altar.
247
00:14:10,308 --> 00:14:13,284
I admit. I get a rush order,
I use contractors.
248
00:14:13,284 --> 00:14:14,980
Piecework, veils.
249
00:14:14,980 --> 00:14:17,319
I go with the lowest bid.
Something wrong with that?
250
00:14:17,319 --> 00:14:19,450
Depends on
the working conditions, sir.
251
00:14:19,450 --> 00:14:20,493
Be realistic.
252
00:14:20,493 --> 00:14:22,551
We're competing with Singapore.
253
00:14:22,863 --> 00:14:24,330
Do contractors use immigrants?
254
00:14:24,330 --> 00:14:25,797
I'm sure they do.
255
00:14:26,033 --> 00:14:28,229
That suit on your back,
you know who sewed it?
256
00:14:28,229 --> 00:14:30,668
You sure whoever sewed the
buttons got minimum wage?
257
00:14:30,668 --> 00:14:34,332
We are interested in the name of
the contractor who sewed this label.
258
00:14:34,332 --> 00:14:36,467
Ever hear of
the Hot Goods Statute?
259
00:14:36,467 --> 00:14:38,807
It forbids the shipping
across state lines
260
00:14:38,807 --> 00:14:41,314
of any product made in
violation of federal labor laws.
261
00:14:41,314 --> 00:14:44,681
In this case we're also
talking murder and kidnapping.
262
00:14:45,553 --> 00:14:48,750
My God, I wouldn't think...
263
00:14:50,491 --> 00:14:52,686
This one,
it would be Royalty Fashions.
264
00:14:52,686 --> 00:14:54,922
Used to be in the Bronx,
Manattan now.
265
00:14:54,922 --> 00:14:56,987
Ave. D, Alphabet City.
266
00:15:02,904 --> 00:15:04,633
They like working here.
267
00:15:04,633 --> 00:15:06,800
We have milk for the child,
268
00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:08,900
and we save the mother money
on a babysitter.
269
00:15:08,900 --> 00:15:12,345
If it wasrt for us, they'd be on the
street, starving or selling crack.
270
00:15:12,345 --> 00:15:14,541
We treat 'em like our family,
like our kids.
271
00:15:14,541 --> 00:15:16,140
And it pays off.
272
00:15:16,140 --> 00:15:17,583
They work hard.
273
00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:21,021
They're wonderful people,
devoted to their children.
274
00:15:21,021 --> 00:15:24,082
I'm touched. I didn't know there
were people like you in the world.
275
00:15:24,082 --> 00:15:25,251
How much do you pay them?
276
00:15:25,251 --> 00:15:26,692
We pay them by the piece.
277
00:15:26,692 --> 00:15:29,196
If they work fast,
they make $7 an hour.
278
00:15:30,299 --> 00:15:33,030
It's better than the $4 a day
they'd make in Nogales.
279
00:15:33,030 --> 00:15:35,162
And it's twice
the minimum wage.
280
00:15:35,162 --> 00:15:38,071
322 E. Tremont Ave.
That was your last address?
281
00:15:38,071 --> 00:15:39,472
That was two places ago.
282
00:15:39,472 --> 00:15:41,772
Several contractors
have used it.
283
00:15:41,772 --> 00:15:43,870
The place wasrt
in good condition.
284
00:15:43,870 --> 00:15:45,973
There were break-ins, rats.
285
00:15:47,550 --> 00:15:49,814
Have these kids
ever worked for you?
286
00:15:51,654 --> 00:15:52,678
Oh.
287
00:15:52,678 --> 00:15:56,055
They look much too young,
don't they, Ellis? No.
288
00:15:56,893 --> 00:15:59,829
We've been inspected.
We have fire extinguishers.
289
00:15:59,829 --> 00:16:01,922
The windows are never locked.
290
00:16:02,800 --> 00:16:05,030
We're just trying
to make a living.
291
00:16:06,170 --> 00:16:08,229
The girl we found
in the river, María Carranza,
292
00:16:08,229 --> 00:16:11,742
we got a DNA match with blood
from the mattress on Tremont.
293
00:16:11,742 --> 00:16:13,572
And the flower vendor, the kid?
294
00:16:13,572 --> 00:16:15,509
From his description,
there is no doubt
295
00:16:15,509 --> 00:16:17,877
that those kids
worked for the Drakes.
296
00:16:18,449 --> 00:16:20,849
Can we prove
who these kids are?
297
00:16:20,849 --> 00:16:22,977
Because we're not gettir
fingerprints from Mexico.
298
00:16:22,977 --> 00:16:24,646
They don't exist.
299
00:16:25,123 --> 00:16:26,420
I just don't get this.
300
00:16:26,420 --> 00:16:27,583
I mean, why chain them up?
301
00:16:27,583 --> 00:16:29,251
They're not makir
that much anyway.
302
00:16:29,251 --> 00:16:31,852
Oh, you got seven or eight
immigrants making $250 a week.
303
00:16:31,852 --> 00:16:34,421
You handcuff 'em, they
are saving $100,000 a year.
304
00:16:34,421 --> 00:16:37,627
And that is the difference
between being in business and not.
305
00:16:37,627 --> 00:16:40,170
Those green cards,
one of 'em had to be bought.
306
00:16:40,170 --> 00:16:43,036
And one of those kids is not
old enough to go to high school.
307
00:16:43,036 --> 00:16:45,633
So call Social Welfare.
You got nothing specific.
308
00:16:45,633 --> 00:16:46,972
They'll get there in a month?
309
00:16:46,972 --> 00:16:48,103
Maybe they're underage.
310
00:16:48,103 --> 00:16:49,169
Maybe they're illegal.
311
00:16:49,169 --> 00:16:50,875
Maybes will not
get you a warrant.
312
00:16:50,875 --> 00:16:52,315
Doesrt the Drakes' yellow sheet
313
00:16:52,315 --> 00:16:54,615
give us a little bit
of leeway here?
314
00:16:54,615 --> 00:16:57,383
Do you see murder
and kidnapping here?
315
00:16:57,383 --> 00:16:59,687
Health and safety,
non-payment of wages,
316
00:16:59,687 --> 00:17:01,317
endangering the welfare
of a child.
317
00:17:01,317 --> 00:17:04,159
The state took their books,
closed them down a dozen times.
318
00:17:04,159 --> 00:17:05,595
Drove 'em out of business.
319
00:17:05,595 --> 00:17:07,724
Endangerment. What's that,
a Class A misdemeanor?
320
00:17:07,724 --> 00:17:09,665
That must've shook 'em up
for 30 seconds.
321
00:17:09,665 --> 00:17:12,169
Well, our case couldn't
shake dirt from a dust mop.
322
00:17:12,169 --> 00:17:13,637
Name a judge, I'll call him.
323
00:17:13,637 --> 00:17:15,731
As long as I can hang up
before he starts screaming
324
00:17:15,731 --> 00:17:17,242
we interrupted his dinner.
325
00:17:17,242 --> 00:17:18,539
Okay, let's call the State.
326
00:17:18,539 --> 00:17:20,603
I want to look
at the Drakes' books.
327
00:17:27,087 --> 00:17:29,885
They ordered Bing Crosby's
Christmas Album.
328
00:17:30,491 --> 00:17:31,583
The CD.
329
00:17:32,426 --> 00:17:34,917
"Third notice,
East Orange Savings and Loan."
330
00:17:34,917 --> 00:17:36,257
Behind on the mortgage.
331
00:17:36,257 --> 00:17:39,299
What are we lookir for,
anyway? A check for handcuffs?
332
00:17:39,299 --> 00:17:42,529
How about a check
to the State Liquor Authority?
333
00:17:42,529 --> 00:17:43,967
For a permit.
334
00:17:45,840 --> 00:17:48,638
I didn't notice an open bar
at the sweatshop.
335
00:17:49,043 --> 00:17:51,443
Do you think they own
a nightclub on the side?
336
00:17:51,443 --> 00:17:53,344
Let's find out
who got the permit.
337
00:17:53,548 --> 00:17:56,016
The liquor license. Sí.
338
00:17:56,016 --> 00:17:57,642
Uh, Mr. And Mrs...
339
00:17:57,642 --> 00:17:59,186
Drake.
Uh-huh.
340
00:17:59,387 --> 00:18:02,379
They are like mother and
father, and they take Rudy in
341
00:18:02,379 --> 00:18:05,620
and he works for them
and they buy him a present.
342
00:18:06,694 --> 00:18:09,323
This boy and girl also worked
for the Drakes.
343
00:18:09,323 --> 00:18:10,695
Amigos.
344
00:18:11,233 --> 00:18:12,222
Oh.
345
00:18:12,434 --> 00:18:14,197
You here so often,
take a membership.
346
00:18:14,197 --> 00:18:15,362
Get a game free.
347
00:18:15,362 --> 00:18:16,904
Yeah, well, last time
we were here,
348
00:18:16,904 --> 00:18:18,701
you didn't
recognize those kids.
349
00:18:19,542 --> 00:18:20,839
What about your wife?
350
00:18:20,839 --> 00:18:23,037
Does your husband
always speak for you?
351
00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:27,210
Lina, oblige the gentlemen.
352
00:18:29,585 --> 00:18:30,677
No.
353
00:18:31,153 --> 00:18:33,815
You get into Manattan much,
Mr. Armandariz?
354
00:18:33,815 --> 00:18:35,357
Bar, pool tables.
355
00:18:35,357 --> 00:18:37,416
You know, I don't make
what a cop makes.
356
00:18:37,416 --> 00:18:40,395
Special night out, we hit a few
clubs, you know, we go dancing.
357
00:18:40,395 --> 00:18:43,159
You like to play around
in the clubs on Ave. D?
358
00:18:44,134 --> 00:18:47,035
My friends, Ellis and Betty,
do you know them?
359
00:18:47,470 --> 00:18:50,530
Generous people.
I come from Nogales.
360
00:18:50,530 --> 00:18:52,472
I cut clothes as a boy.
361
00:18:52,472 --> 00:18:53,907
They help me work my way up.
362
00:18:53,907 --> 00:18:55,342
They took care of me.
363
00:18:55,342 --> 00:18:57,277
You got a liquor license.
364
00:18:57,277 --> 00:18:59,679
You get paid a lot more
than most kids.
365
00:19:00,850 --> 00:19:02,409
I worked harder.
366
00:19:04,689 --> 00:19:05,189
Dd
367
00:19:06,190 --> 00:19:08,351
Anything else
we can do for you?
368
00:19:09,393 --> 00:19:12,487
Our amigo has two juvenile
arrests, one with a knife.
369
00:19:14,231 --> 00:19:16,666
Guarding a sweatshop,
he stabbed an inspector.
370
00:19:16,666 --> 00:19:18,099
Mug shot?
371
00:19:18,099 --> 00:19:20,000
Get us a picture? Thanks.
372
00:19:20,638 --> 00:19:22,469
The sweatshop,
was it Royalty Fashions?
373
00:19:22,469 --> 00:19:24,667
Royalty Ready-to-Wear.
Ellis and Betty Drake.
374
00:19:24,667 --> 00:19:27,473
So they took Rudy off the
streets to save him, huh?
375
00:19:27,473 --> 00:19:28,740
He was their goon.
376
00:19:28,740 --> 00:19:30,509
If we could tie him
to the cuffs.
377
00:19:30,509 --> 00:19:31,549
Yeah.
378
00:19:34,686 --> 00:19:36,586
Well, they could have
bought 'em anywhere.
379
00:19:36,586 --> 00:19:38,520
9,000 Grenadier cuffs.
380
00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:40,749
Twenty-two more shops.
You want to do 'em all?
381
00:19:40,749 --> 00:19:43,260
He could have bought 'em
through the mail.
382
00:19:43,929 --> 00:19:45,453
Or maybe closer to home.
383
00:19:45,453 --> 00:19:46,462
The Bronx?
384
00:19:46,462 --> 00:19:47,520
The Drakes, East Orange.
385
00:19:47,520 --> 00:19:50,397
They sell police equipment
in Jersey, don't they?
386
00:19:53,105 --> 00:19:56,041
New York cops. I sell
to you guys all the time.
387
00:19:57,377 --> 00:20:00,505
How many of your customers
aren't cops or security guards?
388
00:20:00,505 --> 00:20:02,013
I get the weirdoes.
389
00:20:02,013 --> 00:20:04,515
They want to dress up
in blue or fatigues.
390
00:20:04,515 --> 00:20:07,553
Ankle irons. Keep the wife
chained to the stove. I don't know.
391
00:20:07,553 --> 00:20:09,281
Not my idea of weekend fun.
392
00:20:09,281 --> 00:20:10,845
So, what can I sell you?
393
00:20:10,845 --> 00:20:12,390
How about ID?
394
00:20:15,128 --> 00:20:16,220
He's not familiar.
395
00:20:16,220 --> 00:20:18,662
This isn't a Mexican neighborhood.
You wouldn't forget him.
396
00:20:18,662 --> 00:20:21,701
Neighborhood's gone bad,
but Mexicans, not that bad.
397
00:20:21,701 --> 00:20:23,532
No, it got bad
when you moved in.
398
00:20:23,532 --> 00:20:25,731
My Jersey law's
just a little rusty,
399
00:20:25,731 --> 00:20:26,932
but the way I remember it,
400
00:20:26,932 --> 00:20:29,635
you need a job reference
for police supplies.
401
00:20:29,635 --> 00:20:32,736
I hope you have records for
everybody you sold Grenadiers to.
402
00:20:32,736 --> 00:20:34,644
You're on the wrong side
of the river.
403
00:20:34,644 --> 00:20:37,115
How fast can we get
a state trooper here, Phil?
404
00:20:37,115 --> 00:20:39,709
We're about eight to
ten minutes from the parkway.
405
00:20:39,709 --> 00:20:42,017
Maybe I remember him.
I thought he was a PR.
406
00:20:42,017 --> 00:20:43,852
He looked at cattle prods.
407
00:20:43,852 --> 00:20:46,119
Yeah, I think I sold him
some cuffs.
408
00:20:46,628 --> 00:20:49,062
He bought the cuffs!
A dozen pair!
409
00:20:49,062 --> 00:20:51,098
Handcuffs with
the same lot number.
410
00:20:51,098 --> 00:20:52,895
Which happened
to be attached to a bed
411
00:20:52,895 --> 00:20:54,798
with the same blood
as the dead girl.
412
00:20:54,798 --> 00:20:56,666
They can put the kids
in the sweatshop.
413
00:20:56,666 --> 00:20:58,466
They got a witness
who saw the Drakes.
414
00:20:58,466 --> 00:21:00,405
You can put the kids
and the Drakes there.
415
00:21:00,405 --> 00:21:02,204
You can't prove
the Drakes killed them.
416
00:21:02,204 --> 00:21:03,744
They bought Rudy
a liquor license.
417
00:21:03,744 --> 00:21:06,110
They're paying him for
something! What do you want?
418
00:21:06,110 --> 00:21:07,170
More dead kids?
419
00:21:07,170 --> 00:21:09,045
All right, that's enough, Mike.
420
00:21:09,045 --> 00:21:11,780
This one's got everybody
a little upset, Paul.
421
00:21:12,788 --> 00:21:16,087
Hey, you guys put a stakeout
on somebody named Armandariz?
422
00:21:16,425 --> 00:21:17,790
They said you wanted to know.
423
00:21:17,790 --> 00:21:19,725
He just parked
on Ave. D.
424
00:21:24,265 --> 00:21:27,235
We have no witnesses,
no convincing Forensics.
425
00:21:27,235 --> 00:21:28,668
I take this to the grand jury,
426
00:21:28,668 --> 00:21:31,070
I have more holes than
the Internal Revenue Code.
427
00:21:31,070 --> 00:21:34,837
Paul, Rudy Armandariz, 16 years
old, he stabs an inspector.
428
00:21:34,837 --> 00:21:36,537
What the hell
you think he's gonna do
429
00:21:36,537 --> 00:21:39,081
if Ira Bender stumbled
into that backroom?
430
00:21:39,081 --> 00:21:42,141
And if those Mexicans
are still working on Ave. D,
431
00:21:42,141 --> 00:21:43,948
they won't be tomorrow.
432
00:21:46,656 --> 00:21:47,680
Okay.
433
00:21:50,726 --> 00:21:53,628
Where are they? Where are the
Mexican kids who were working here?
434
00:21:53,628 --> 00:21:56,063
People come and go.
They probably went home.
435
00:21:56,063 --> 00:21:58,499
Uh, where's your friend,
Mr. Armandariz?
436
00:21:59,202 --> 00:22:01,432
Downstairs? Okay, let's go!
437
00:22:02,305 --> 00:22:05,275
You're under arrest for the murder
of Eduardo and María Carranza.
438
00:22:05,275 --> 00:22:06,901
You have the right
to remain silent.
439
00:22:08,079 --> 00:22:09,740
Cover me on the street!
440
00:22:17,789 --> 00:22:20,349
Halt, Armandariz, hold it!
Get away from...
441
00:22:20,349 --> 00:22:22,416
Don't even think about it!
442
00:22:22,416 --> 00:22:25,085
You think that
window's bulletproof, huh?
443
00:22:32,871 --> 00:22:35,499
You like to get 'em around
the neck, don't you, huh?
444
00:22:35,499 --> 00:22:37,474
That way you can
feel 'em die. Mike!
445
00:22:37,474 --> 00:22:39,511
Did you rape the girl
before you killed her?
446
00:22:39,511 --> 00:22:41,909
How about the boy, huh?
Mike! Mike! Mike!
447
00:22:42,380 --> 00:22:45,612
Rudy Armandariz, you're
under arrest for murder.
448
00:22:46,051 --> 00:22:48,383
Anything you say can be used
against you in a court of law.
449
00:22:48,383 --> 00:22:49,785
Do you understand that?
450
00:22:53,125 --> 00:22:54,854
"Docket number 52782.
451
00:22:54,854 --> 00:22:58,523
"The People v. Rudy Armandariz,
Ellis Drake, and Betty Drake.
452
00:22:58,523 --> 00:23:00,896
"Three counts murder,
second degree,
453
00:23:00,896 --> 00:23:03,231
two counts kidnapping,
first degree."
454
00:23:03,231 --> 00:23:05,464
Everybody's
pleading guilty, right?
455
00:23:05,464 --> 00:23:06,834
Not guilty, Your Honor.
456
00:23:06,834 --> 00:23:09,673
Not guilty.
457
00:23:09,673 --> 00:23:12,905
Your Honor, Mr. Armandariz
has repeatedly visited Mexico.
458
00:23:12,905 --> 00:23:14,503
The risk of flight
is substantial.
459
00:23:14,503 --> 00:23:16,412
We request that
he be held without bail.
460
00:23:16,412 --> 00:23:20,112
For Mr. And Mrs. Drake,
$250,000 each defendant.
461
00:23:20,112 --> 00:23:21,881
Mr. Armandariz
owns a business
462
00:23:21,881 --> 00:23:23,651
that needs his attention,
Your Honor.
463
00:23:23,651 --> 00:23:24,748
The risk of flight...
464
00:23:24,748 --> 00:23:26,190
Is humongous, Counselor.
465
00:23:26,190 --> 00:23:29,593
The charge is murder, not
spitting on the subway. No bail.
466
00:23:29,593 --> 00:23:30,960
Mr. Dunlap.
467
00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:33,464
Your Honor, my clients
are innocent victims
468
00:23:33,464 --> 00:23:34,864
of a career criminal
469
00:23:34,864 --> 00:23:37,369
and an ungrateful orphan
they tried to help.
470
00:23:37,369 --> 00:23:39,770
They took him off the street,
set him up in business,
471
00:23:39,770 --> 00:23:41,603
bought him a house
as a wedding present.
472
00:23:41,603 --> 00:23:44,007
Oh, this isn't
about slave labor.
473
00:23:44,007 --> 00:23:46,012
It's about
a dysfunctional family.
474
00:23:46,012 --> 00:23:48,071
Why don't we send it
to Family Court?
475
00:23:48,071 --> 00:23:50,049
Family values week is over.
476
00:23:50,049 --> 00:23:51,483
The People's request
is granted.
477
00:23:51,483 --> 00:23:55,649
And, Mr. Dunlap, no bond.
All cash.
478
00:23:56,625 --> 00:23:57,785
Beautiful, Charlie.
479
00:23:57,785 --> 00:23:59,985
He made slaves of them,
then he kills them?
480
00:23:59,985 --> 00:24:01,995
Did you have to take this case?
481
00:24:01,995 --> 00:24:04,156
Where's the congregation,
Rev. Stone?
482
00:24:04,156 --> 00:24:05,824
The sermon can't be for me.
483
00:24:05,824 --> 00:24:08,267
How did you end up with this?
Your office is on Park Ave.
484
00:24:08,267 --> 00:24:10,099
Does Armandariz
even know the zip code?
485
00:24:10,099 --> 00:24:11,433
He reads the Post.
486
00:24:11,433 --> 00:24:13,872
He knows I give people
of color a good defense.
487
00:24:14,142 --> 00:24:16,634
Especially when you try and
plead white people against him.
488
00:24:16,634 --> 00:24:18,202
If that's a preamble
to a speech
489
00:24:18,202 --> 00:24:20,647
on the racist system, can we
roll it over till tomorrow?
490
00:24:20,647 --> 00:24:22,581
Man two, one count, two years.
491
00:24:22,581 --> 00:24:24,482
He testifies
against the Drakes.
492
00:24:24,482 --> 00:24:25,850
Man one, three counts.
493
00:24:25,850 --> 00:24:28,254
I want him deep into old age
when he gets out.
494
00:24:28,254 --> 00:24:29,723
With your case?
495
00:24:29,723 --> 00:24:32,350
It's not circumstantial,
it's atmospheric.
496
00:24:32,350 --> 00:24:33,792
Man two, two counts.
497
00:24:33,792 --> 00:24:36,627
For handcuffing people
to beds and killing them.
498
00:24:37,733 --> 00:24:40,726
May I explain to you why
you won't win on the cuffs?
499
00:24:40,726 --> 00:24:42,567
Rudy's video rentals.
500
00:24:42,906 --> 00:24:45,067
One of his favorites shows
a woman handcuffed to a bed.
501
00:24:45,067 --> 00:24:47,440
His wife will testify
that's why he bought 'em.
502
00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:50,002
That'll convince a jury.
A dozen pair?
503
00:24:50,002 --> 00:24:52,238
The jury may find
it's disgusting.
504
00:24:52,715 --> 00:24:55,378
They don't dish out
25-to-life on disgust.
505
00:24:56,520 --> 00:24:57,953
Slavery.
506
00:24:59,222 --> 00:25:02,749
I woke up this morning, I
thought it was the 20th century.
507
00:25:02,749 --> 00:25:04,326
In some places.
508
00:25:04,595 --> 00:25:06,996
The mayor's appointing
a commission.
509
00:25:06,996 --> 00:25:09,932
Yeah, they'll debate it for
six months, issue a report.
510
00:25:09,932 --> 00:25:12,093
It will disappear
before anyone reads it.
511
00:25:12,093 --> 00:25:13,728
People chained to their beds.
512
00:25:13,728 --> 00:25:15,272
Why don't they take
a few dollars
513
00:25:15,272 --> 00:25:18,240
from street cleaning
and hire more inspectors?
514
00:25:18,909 --> 00:25:22,437
In politics, two choices:
Do nothing, do something.
515
00:25:23,114 --> 00:25:24,979
Nothing has fewer risks.
516
00:25:25,450 --> 00:25:26,781
I hope we have a case.
517
00:25:26,781 --> 00:25:28,341
A lot of ifs and maybes.
518
00:25:28,341 --> 00:25:30,819
The big problem is,
I have to prove a crime
519
00:25:30,819 --> 00:25:32,982
that nobody wants
to believe happened.
520
00:25:32,982 --> 00:25:35,856
A good couple
with a small business.
521
00:25:35,856 --> 00:25:39,055
Who wants to think they
have Dachau in the back room?
522
00:25:39,055 --> 00:25:40,792
It's just too horrifying.
523
00:25:41,200 --> 00:25:43,167
Porn movies with handcuffs.
524
00:25:43,701 --> 00:25:46,193
Doesrt even beat possession
by the devil.
525
00:25:46,193 --> 00:25:47,795
It's the big lie, Adam.
526
00:25:47,795 --> 00:25:49,841
Repeat it often enough,
it's the truth.
527
00:25:49,841 --> 00:25:52,206
Charlie Meadow will sell
the hell out of pornography.
528
00:25:52,206 --> 00:25:54,142
And you'll sell the hell
out of those kids
529
00:25:54,142 --> 00:25:56,681
being connected
with all three defendants.
530
00:25:56,681 --> 00:25:58,376
Why can't you use the Drakes?
531
00:25:58,376 --> 00:26:01,386
Dunlap wants to plead, but
his clients won't discuss it.
532
00:26:01,386 --> 00:26:03,581
Wort discuss
they're accessories.
533
00:26:03,581 --> 00:26:05,887
Yes, they didn't
strangle those kids,
534
00:26:05,887 --> 00:26:08,392
they didn't dump
an inspector in the river.
535
00:26:08,392 --> 00:26:10,428
But they also didn't make bail.
536
00:26:10,428 --> 00:26:14,263
And they're in Rikers, hoping
they don't get their throats slit.
537
00:26:14,263 --> 00:26:16,427
I'd sure want
to discuss a plea.
538
00:26:16,427 --> 00:26:19,404
Dunlap said the Drakes
were victims of Armandariz.
539
00:26:19,404 --> 00:26:21,997
It's a good tactic, but
his clients didn't like it.
540
00:26:21,997 --> 00:26:23,372
They're scared of Rudy.
541
00:26:23,372 --> 00:26:25,309
Make 'em scared of you.
542
00:26:29,350 --> 00:26:31,284
If you're convicted,
Mrs. Drake,
543
00:26:31,284 --> 00:26:32,842
you'll die in prison.
544
00:26:33,953 --> 00:26:36,888
I'm gonna die
in my own bed at home.
545
00:26:37,190 --> 00:26:39,352
With my dear husband
next to me.
546
00:26:39,352 --> 00:26:41,452
Mrs. Drake,
we don't believe
547
00:26:41,452 --> 00:26:43,759
that you killed Ira Bender
or those children.
548
00:26:43,759 --> 00:26:45,696
But if you try
to save Mr. Armandariz,
549
00:26:45,696 --> 00:26:47,393
you'll go down with him.
550
00:26:47,393 --> 00:26:49,868
Betty, he's offering 12 years.
551
00:26:49,868 --> 00:26:52,463
You're facing 75-to-life.
552
00:26:54,776 --> 00:26:56,266
I'm no lawyer.
553
00:26:56,266 --> 00:26:59,470
You guys would sell your
mother for a day at the races.
554
00:27:00,548 --> 00:27:03,073
We don't testify against a boy
555
00:27:03,073 --> 00:27:05,210
we brought up like our own son.
556
00:27:06,988 --> 00:27:08,216
Mr. Drake?
557
00:27:15,063 --> 00:27:16,496
I asked them to plead, Ben.
558
00:27:16,496 --> 00:27:18,557
They don't understand
the odds on conviction.
559
00:27:18,557 --> 00:27:20,568
Sophisticated they're not.
That's right.
560
00:27:20,568 --> 00:27:23,434
This lady gets a cold,
she wants to go to Lourdes.
561
00:27:23,434 --> 00:27:25,336
I'll see you in court.
562
00:27:26,308 --> 00:27:28,139
It's a good deal.
Why won't they take it?
563
00:27:28,139 --> 00:27:29,472
Well, we're missing something.
564
00:27:29,472 --> 00:27:30,910
Do the Drakes have visitors?
565
00:27:30,910 --> 00:27:32,470
Just him. The lawyer.
566
00:27:32,470 --> 00:27:35,142
At the end of every day have the
visitor's list sent downstairs.
567
00:27:35,142 --> 00:27:37,413
I want it faxed to
my office. Right.
568
00:27:41,691 --> 00:27:44,593
Ellis Drake's brother, Fred,
has been there six times.
569
00:27:44,593 --> 00:27:45,787
To see his brother?
570
00:27:45,787 --> 00:27:47,262
Only Ellis, not Betty.
571
00:27:47,262 --> 00:27:48,992
I talked to Fred's bookkeeper.
572
00:27:48,992 --> 00:27:51,590
Fred and Ellis were partners,
garment business.
573
00:27:51,590 --> 00:27:53,658
But the partnering
wasrt very brotherly.
574
00:27:53,658 --> 00:27:56,706
And Fred definitely wasrt
crazy about his sister-in-law.
575
00:27:56,706 --> 00:27:59,800
See how crazy he is about
his brother goir to prison.
576
00:28:01,445 --> 00:28:02,969
I'm not stupid.
577
00:28:02,969 --> 00:28:05,241
I'm not making it easier
to convict my brother.
578
00:28:05,241 --> 00:28:07,943
If your brother's a pawn of
Armandariz, we'd like to help him.
579
00:28:07,943 --> 00:28:09,281
Oh, sure you would.
580
00:28:09,281 --> 00:28:11,549
And I always put money
in the meter.
581
00:28:12,724 --> 00:28:14,658
More coffee, gentlemen?
582
00:28:14,658 --> 00:28:15,920
Thank you.
583
00:28:19,763 --> 00:28:21,822
If your brother
doesn't cooperate,
584
00:28:21,822 --> 00:28:25,097
you'll be visiting him upstate
the rest of his life.
585
00:28:28,873 --> 00:28:30,238
Money was tight.
586
00:28:30,475 --> 00:28:32,409
This kid Rudy,
sweeping the floors,
587
00:28:32,409 --> 00:28:35,709
says he can get Mexicans
cheaper than Chinese.
588
00:28:35,709 --> 00:28:38,773
Suddenly this psycho
is running the company.
589
00:28:40,119 --> 00:28:41,882
Ellis won't turn on Rudy.
590
00:28:43,121 --> 00:28:44,418
And your sister-in-law?
591
00:28:44,418 --> 00:28:45,717
Oh, sweet Betty?
592
00:28:45,717 --> 00:28:48,088
Yeah, she's like a mother
to Rudy.
593
00:28:48,088 --> 00:28:50,390
Only most mothers
are not that loving.
594
00:28:53,566 --> 00:28:54,794
She do some cooking?
595
00:28:54,794 --> 00:28:56,232
Home cooking.
596
00:28:56,669 --> 00:29:00,298
She didn't even have the decency
to do it behind Ellis's back.
597
00:29:00,940 --> 00:29:04,775
I begged Ellis,
sell that son of a bitch out.
598
00:29:06,646 --> 00:29:08,614
He said if it didn't work,
599
00:29:08,614 --> 00:29:11,741
he would have a little trouble
breathing underwater.
600
00:29:14,086 --> 00:29:15,952
You want to use
Armandariz's wife?
601
00:29:15,952 --> 00:29:17,319
We need a witness.
602
00:29:17,319 --> 00:29:20,223
And if Ellis's brother knew
that Rudy was in bed with Betty,
603
00:29:20,223 --> 00:29:21,920
you'd think
Rudy's wife would know.
604
00:29:21,920 --> 00:29:24,463
And if she didn't,
you'll be glad to tell her.
605
00:29:24,463 --> 00:29:27,022
And that's enough to turn her
against her husband?
606
00:29:27,022 --> 00:29:28,466
Jealousy and anger.
607
00:29:28,466 --> 00:29:30,367
What about loyalty and fear?
608
00:29:30,367 --> 00:29:32,564
How are you gonna handle
spousal privilege?
609
00:29:32,564 --> 00:29:34,073
Spousal privilege has limits.
610
00:29:34,073 --> 00:29:36,108
And maybe
she won't have to testify.
611
00:29:36,108 --> 00:29:38,110
Maybe she'll lead us
to those missing kids.
612
00:29:38,110 --> 00:29:40,146
Busy signal at
the Armandariz house.
613
00:29:40,146 --> 00:29:41,909
Phone company says
off the hook.
614
00:29:41,909 --> 00:29:43,041
The Drakes are scared.
615
00:29:43,041 --> 00:29:45,244
She's probably hiding
under the bed.
616
00:29:45,244 --> 00:29:47,913
Go out to East Orange,
take a run at her.
617
00:29:48,789 --> 00:29:50,723
I work at the club.
618
00:29:50,992 --> 00:29:53,153
The wedding gowns,
I never saw that.
619
00:29:53,153 --> 00:29:56,163
The Drakes paid for your liquor
license, bought this house.
620
00:29:56,163 --> 00:29:57,562
Your husband
621
00:29:58,066 --> 00:30:00,693
was having intimate relations
with Mrs. Drake.
622
00:30:02,637 --> 00:30:04,070
This is true?
623
00:30:07,109 --> 00:30:10,101
You say, "Marry him."
For the Church.
624
00:30:10,712 --> 00:30:12,942
You say God will
strike me down.
625
00:30:13,649 --> 00:30:17,312
You wanted his bed,
you marry him.
626
00:30:19,121 --> 00:30:21,716
I told you, be respectable.
627
00:30:26,395 --> 00:30:29,489
The girl, and the boy,
the ones you found.
628
00:30:29,865 --> 00:30:31,093
Rudy?
629
00:30:32,534 --> 00:30:34,526
Ask your granddaughter.
630
00:30:39,509 --> 00:30:40,942
I don't know.
631
00:30:42,512 --> 00:30:44,503
I wanted to stop Rudy.
632
00:30:45,348 --> 00:30:48,113
They tried to escape,
and he caught them.
633
00:30:49,486 --> 00:30:51,852
He said that
they would go to the police.
634
00:30:53,923 --> 00:30:55,447
He had to kill them.
635
00:30:57,727 --> 00:30:59,286
He had to kill them.
636
00:31:00,631 --> 00:31:02,565
Spouses testifying
against spouses.
637
00:31:02,565 --> 00:31:04,430
I don't like it
under any circumstances.
638
00:31:04,430 --> 00:31:06,002
The privilege in this case
639
00:31:06,002 --> 00:31:08,095
rests with Lina Armandariz,
not her husband.
640
00:31:08,095 --> 00:31:10,867
Judge, what country
is he practicing in?
641
00:31:10,867 --> 00:31:12,967
No court in New York,
trial or appellate,
642
00:31:12,967 --> 00:31:15,012
encroaches on the sanctity
of marriage.
643
00:31:15,012 --> 00:31:16,479
He can't compel her to testify.
644
00:31:16,479 --> 00:31:18,105
It's not about compelling.
645
00:31:18,105 --> 00:31:19,774
It's about allowing her
to testify.
646
00:31:19,774 --> 00:31:22,648
And if she witnessed
a criminal act uninvited,
647
00:31:22,648 --> 00:31:25,656
and was not a participant,
her husband has no privilege.
648
00:31:25,656 --> 00:31:27,817
Thank you, Ben.
I know the law.
649
00:31:29,294 --> 00:31:31,353
Suppose I whisper
to my wife in bed:
650
00:31:31,353 --> 00:31:34,489
"I hate my brother. I bought
a gun. I wanna kill him."
651
00:31:34,489 --> 00:31:36,363
The next day she sees me do it.
652
00:31:36,363 --> 00:31:39,268
Is her witnessing the crime
a result of marital intimacy?
653
00:31:39,268 --> 00:31:40,930
If it is,
then I have privilege.
654
00:31:40,930 --> 00:31:42,338
But, in this case,
we don't know
655
00:31:42,338 --> 00:31:45,001
what Lina Armandariz heard
on the marital bed.
656
00:31:45,001 --> 00:31:47,909
Mrs. Armandariz said
she was there by coincidence.
657
00:31:47,909 --> 00:31:49,708
I'm deeply surprised.
658
00:31:50,015 --> 00:31:51,916
I'm sure you didn't
put words in her mouth.
659
00:31:51,916 --> 00:31:53,781
Mr. Meadow,
you're in the gutter.
660
00:31:53,781 --> 00:31:55,753
You want to insult
his intelligence, fine.
661
00:31:55,753 --> 00:31:59,188
You will not accuse him in my
chambers of suborning perjury.
662
00:31:59,658 --> 00:32:00,886
I don't know, Ben.
663
00:32:01,360 --> 00:32:03,851
There's another exception,
Your Honor.
664
00:32:03,851 --> 00:32:07,024
A spouse who witnesses the
planning of a crime can testify.
665
00:32:07,024 --> 00:32:10,466
Mrs. Armandariz knew that her
husband planned to kill those kids.
666
00:32:10,466 --> 00:32:13,096
Talk about a hole you
could drive an army through.
667
00:32:13,096 --> 00:32:14,503
I think he's got
the right army.
668
00:32:14,503 --> 00:32:15,835
Judge, you can't accept...
669
00:32:15,835 --> 00:32:16,897
You bet I can.
670
00:32:16,897 --> 00:32:18,945
If that child wasrt dead
when she got there,
671
00:32:18,945 --> 00:32:21,037
the wife sure saw
a crime planned.
672
00:32:21,037 --> 00:32:23,139
This court rules
the husband has no privilege.
673
00:32:23,139 --> 00:32:25,776
The wife wants to testify,
it's her choice.
674
00:32:29,389 --> 00:32:33,326
It, uh, happened
a couple of months ago.
675
00:32:34,062 --> 00:32:36,894
Maybe, I think, last June.
676
00:32:37,664 --> 00:32:39,097
Did you witness a struggle
677
00:32:39,097 --> 00:32:41,600
between your husband
and Eduardo Carranza?
678
00:32:43,805 --> 00:32:45,102
Yes, I did.
679
00:32:47,041 --> 00:32:49,066
Did your husband say
680
00:32:50,044 --> 00:32:52,376
that he would have to kill
Eduardo Carranza
681
00:32:52,376 --> 00:32:54,608
to prevent another attempt
at escape?
682
00:32:58,921 --> 00:32:59,853
No.
683
00:33:02,824 --> 00:33:04,348
What did you say?
684
00:33:04,592 --> 00:33:07,254
No, he never say that.
685
00:33:09,163 --> 00:33:11,997
Uh, Rudy let María and Eduardo
go back to Mexico.
686
00:33:11,997 --> 00:33:14,900
Mrs. Armandariz,
this isn't what you told me.
687
00:33:16,038 --> 00:33:18,165
Did your husband threaten you?
688
00:33:18,165 --> 00:33:19,730
Off the record.
689
00:33:21,176 --> 00:33:23,941
Mrs. Armandariz,
you're making a mistake.
690
00:33:25,949 --> 00:33:27,745
What do you think
he'll do to you anyway
691
00:33:27,745 --> 00:33:29,875
when he gets out of jail?
692
00:33:36,893 --> 00:33:39,760
You are under oath.
You are committing perjury.
693
00:33:48,806 --> 00:33:50,797
Rudy never killed anybody.
694
00:33:52,476 --> 00:33:54,966
I don't know what happened
to the children.
695
00:34:01,886 --> 00:34:03,547
You had to lose your temper.
696
00:34:03,547 --> 00:34:05,816
She lied, Adam.
She denied everything.
697
00:34:05,816 --> 00:34:07,983
With that husband,
who can blame her?
698
00:34:07,983 --> 00:34:09,116
Compared to what he can do,
699
00:34:09,116 --> 00:34:11,218
you're threatening to take
away her hairdresser.
700
00:34:11,218 --> 00:34:13,388
I'll get a perjury indictment
based on a deposition.
701
00:34:13,388 --> 00:34:15,057
Good. When you go to trial,
702
00:34:15,057 --> 00:34:17,897
invite a couple of law students
to provide the laughter.
703
00:34:17,897 --> 00:34:19,731
Why I thought
this was winnable.
704
00:34:19,731 --> 00:34:22,294
I assumed we'd have
some kind of witness.
705
00:34:22,294 --> 00:34:24,398
Without one, we're gonna lose.
706
00:34:31,783 --> 00:34:34,343
Rudy, Mr. Armandariz,
707
00:34:35,153 --> 00:34:37,747
he asked kids to work
in the sweatshop.
708
00:34:37,747 --> 00:34:41,281
Did you personally hear him
ask María and Eduardo Carranza
709
00:34:41,281 --> 00:34:44,022
if they wanted jobs
sewing wedding gowns?
710
00:34:44,022 --> 00:34:46,290
Yes, he asked them in the club.
711
00:34:47,465 --> 00:34:51,333
Did there come a time when you
looked for María and Eduardo
712
00:34:51,333 --> 00:34:53,701
because you hadrt seen them
in the neighborhood?
713
00:34:53,701 --> 00:34:55,604
I had a letter
714
00:34:55,604 --> 00:34:57,370
from Eduardo's mother.
715
00:34:58,010 --> 00:34:59,739
She didn't hear from him.
716
00:35:00,546 --> 00:35:03,037
I went to the sweatshop,
the factory.
717
00:35:03,983 --> 00:35:07,351
The boss told me Eduardo and
María went home to Mexico.
718
00:35:08,422 --> 00:35:10,583
Is that man
in the courtroom today?
719
00:35:13,659 --> 00:35:15,286
That man, there.
720
00:35:15,286 --> 00:35:18,524
Let the record indicate he's
pointing at the defendant,
721
00:35:18,524 --> 00:35:19,930
Ellis Drake.
722
00:35:19,930 --> 00:35:21,661
The record will so indicate.
723
00:35:21,661 --> 00:35:23,828
Thank you.
No further questions.
724
00:35:29,977 --> 00:35:31,069
Mr. Lopez,
725
00:35:32,479 --> 00:35:36,246
did you ever go
inside this sweatshop
726
00:35:36,246 --> 00:35:38,750
during the time
when María and Eduardo
727
00:35:38,750 --> 00:35:40,684
were supposedly working there?
728
00:35:40,887 --> 00:35:42,616
No, I didn't.
729
00:35:42,616 --> 00:35:45,214
Well, then you never
actually saw them in there
730
00:35:45,214 --> 00:35:46,885
with Mr. Drake, did you?
731
00:35:48,329 --> 00:35:49,296
No.
732
00:35:51,833 --> 00:35:54,563
How well did you know
Eduardo and María?
733
00:35:56,371 --> 00:35:58,430
Just around the neighborhood.
734
00:35:58,430 --> 00:36:00,975
In point of fact, they might
have gone back to Mexico
735
00:36:00,975 --> 00:36:02,976
without your knowing.
736
00:36:02,976 --> 00:36:05,308
No, they would have
said goodbye.
737
00:36:05,647 --> 00:36:08,241
Really?
To a casual acquaintance?
738
00:36:09,684 --> 00:36:11,652
Even if they left in a hurry?
739
00:36:14,790 --> 00:36:16,849
Blood on the mattress
found in the tenement
740
00:36:16,849 --> 00:36:19,291
matches DNA
from María Carranza's body
741
00:36:19,291 --> 00:36:21,022
with 90% accuracy.
742
00:36:21,597 --> 00:36:24,259
What accounts for a less
than perfect match?
743
00:36:24,933 --> 00:36:27,494
The body was submerged
in water for several weeks.
744
00:36:27,494 --> 00:36:30,367
Tissue damage made a
perfect match impossible.
745
00:36:30,367 --> 00:36:32,531
Well, thank you.
Your witness.
746
00:36:38,281 --> 00:36:39,646
90%.
747
00:36:40,784 --> 00:36:42,979
Is that a good match,
in your experience?
748
00:36:42,979 --> 00:36:44,315
Yes, it is.
749
00:36:45,422 --> 00:36:46,787
Is that so?
750
00:36:47,290 --> 00:36:50,589
How many other people would
that blood sample match?
751
00:36:50,589 --> 00:36:52,253
Several thousand.
752
00:36:53,798 --> 00:36:55,389
A hundred thousand?
753
00:36:55,965 --> 00:36:57,023
Possibly.
754
00:36:57,023 --> 00:37:00,761
So that might not be
María Carranza's blood at all.
755
00:37:01,271 --> 00:37:03,239
In fact, you don't even know
756
00:37:03,239 --> 00:37:05,673
if that's
María Carranza's body, do you?
757
00:37:05,673 --> 00:37:07,040
She did work there.
758
00:37:07,040 --> 00:37:08,544
The picture was identified.
759
00:37:08,544 --> 00:37:10,773
The odds of someone else
with so close a match...
760
00:37:10,773 --> 00:37:12,543
Are what, Mr. Medill?
761
00:37:12,543 --> 00:37:16,211
Are you an expert in population
demographics or forensics?
762
00:37:16,211 --> 00:37:18,688
Never mind.
No further questions.
763
00:37:19,358 --> 00:37:21,450
Each hit by itself
doesn't hurt us,
764
00:37:21,450 --> 00:37:22,822
but you add 'em up...
765
00:37:23,194 --> 00:37:24,957
Suppose we charge Rudy's wife,
766
00:37:24,957 --> 00:37:26,189
say I'll testify.
767
00:37:26,189 --> 00:37:28,754
Accessory to murder.
She admitted she was there.
768
00:37:28,754 --> 00:37:30,461
To an assistant
district attorney.
769
00:37:30,461 --> 00:37:32,969
You want to take that
to a grand jury?
770
00:37:33,271 --> 00:37:35,967
Call Frank Dunlap.
Let's go out to Rikers.
771
00:37:35,967 --> 00:37:38,132
Did you look at Ellis Drake?
772
00:37:38,132 --> 00:37:40,770
He turns right,
his wife burns him.
773
00:37:41,246 --> 00:37:44,444
He turns left, he's staring
at the bottom of the Hudson.
774
00:37:44,444 --> 00:37:46,916
By now, maybe
he's more angry than scared.
775
00:37:46,916 --> 00:37:48,953
He would've broken by now.
776
00:37:48,953 --> 00:37:51,386
You can't light a fire
without tinder.
777
00:37:51,386 --> 00:37:52,923
Put Rudy in the room.
778
00:37:52,923 --> 00:37:55,289
We might not have
to strike the match.
779
00:37:57,096 --> 00:37:59,223
The boy pointed
at you, Mr. Drake.
780
00:37:59,223 --> 00:38:01,129
If they want to convict anyone,
781
00:38:01,129 --> 00:38:03,532
it's not your wife
or sonny boy.
782
00:38:03,532 --> 00:38:06,470
Time out. We agreed,
no separate deals.
783
00:38:06,470 --> 00:38:09,441
You think we'd turn against
each other? We're family here.
784
00:38:09,441 --> 00:38:11,637
Well, cut the family number,
Mrs. Drake.
785
00:38:11,637 --> 00:38:13,679
We all know
who's playing musical beds.
786
00:38:13,679 --> 00:38:16,476
Hey, I got music in me.
What does that prove?
787
00:38:16,476 --> 00:38:18,949
Stop it! Shut up! It's bad
enough you were doing it!
788
00:38:18,949 --> 00:38:22,215
She begged for it, man.
She screamed for it.
789
00:38:22,723 --> 00:38:25,521
Mr. Drake, manslaughter one,
two counts.
790
00:38:25,521 --> 00:38:27,184
You only do nine years.
791
00:38:27,184 --> 00:38:29,252
Hold on,
you can't do that. Guard!
792
00:38:29,252 --> 00:38:30,796
We're offering you a deal.
793
00:38:30,796 --> 00:38:33,332
You testify against your wife
and Mr. Armandariz.
794
00:38:33,332 --> 00:38:34,560
I'm leaving.
You've to stop.
795
00:38:34,560 --> 00:38:36,194
You can't talk
in front of my client.
796
00:38:36,194 --> 00:38:38,864
Fine. Guard, take Mr.
Armandariz to his cell.
797
00:38:38,864 --> 00:38:40,998
Ben, Ben, this is unethical.
798
00:38:43,377 --> 00:38:44,776
You had to sleep with him.
799
00:38:44,776 --> 00:38:45,869
The money wasrt enough.
800
00:38:45,869 --> 00:38:47,607
Ellis, keep your mouth shut.
801
00:38:47,607 --> 00:38:50,446
Bought him a house,
rubbed my face in it!
802
00:38:50,446 --> 00:38:51,678
You pathetic wimp!
803
00:38:51,678 --> 00:38:54,950
That's what I am?
Him... You couldn't stop!
804
00:38:57,192 --> 00:38:58,454
I'll do it.
805
00:39:01,196 --> 00:39:04,654
I'm going to jail,
and you're going with me.
806
00:39:11,406 --> 00:39:13,169
He got these Mexican kids.
807
00:39:13,169 --> 00:39:15,403
We promised to pay them
by the piece.
808
00:39:15,403 --> 00:39:18,003
End of the week,
Rudy said don't pay them.
809
00:39:18,003 --> 00:39:19,707
They can't complain.
810
00:39:20,316 --> 00:39:22,477
Did there come a time
when Mr. Armandariz
811
00:39:22,477 --> 00:39:24,883
suggested other ways
of making money?
812
00:39:26,121 --> 00:39:29,387
Well, he found these
metal beds in a vacant lot.
813
00:39:29,925 --> 00:39:32,689
He said he could
just tie the kids up.
814
00:39:34,096 --> 00:39:35,996
He did it with handcuffs.
815
00:39:35,996 --> 00:39:37,657
Tell the court what happened
816
00:39:37,657 --> 00:39:40,634
when Mr. Ira Bender
came to inspect your factory.
817
00:39:42,439 --> 00:39:44,703
He wanted to see the backroom.
818
00:39:45,275 --> 00:39:47,903
He opened the door.
Rudy was inside.
819
00:39:48,512 --> 00:39:50,343
He got him around the neck.
820
00:39:51,882 --> 00:39:55,340
He handcuffed him,
pulled his tie up.
821
00:39:57,787 --> 00:39:59,379
And he killed him.
822
00:40:00,957 --> 00:40:04,825
And what happened
to María and Eduardo Carranza?
823
00:40:06,696 --> 00:40:10,133
We were trying to move them
and they tried to get away.
824
00:40:11,602 --> 00:40:13,399
Rudy killed them
in front of the others.
825
00:40:13,399 --> 00:40:16,133
He said nobody would try
to escape again.
826
00:40:17,808 --> 00:40:19,298
Thank you, sir.
827
00:40:26,751 --> 00:40:28,013
Mr. Drake,
828
00:40:28,686 --> 00:40:32,281
you testified that you and
your wife and Mr. Armandariz
829
00:40:32,281 --> 00:40:34,382
turned these people
into slaves.
830
00:40:35,928 --> 00:40:37,589
Did you really do that?
831
00:40:38,196 --> 00:40:41,688
It doesn't seem like something
I could've done, but I did.
832
00:40:42,834 --> 00:40:44,802
Why are you testifying today?
833
00:40:45,637 --> 00:40:49,004
We deserve to be punished.
All of us do.
834
00:40:49,508 --> 00:40:50,998
Is that the reason?
835
00:40:51,743 --> 00:40:53,938
Or is it your agreement
with the district attorney
836
00:40:53,938 --> 00:40:55,445
for a reduced sentence?
837
00:40:55,445 --> 00:40:57,674
Nine years instead of 75.
838
00:40:58,884 --> 00:41:00,853
The sentence doesn't matter.
839
00:41:00,853 --> 00:41:02,683
It would matter to me.
840
00:41:03,523 --> 00:41:05,184
Tell us, Mr. Drake,
841
00:41:05,858 --> 00:41:08,418
was your wife sexually
involved with Mr. Armandariz?
842
00:41:08,418 --> 00:41:09,791
That's not the reason, either.
843
00:41:09,791 --> 00:41:11,227
But she was.
844
00:41:11,227 --> 00:41:14,164
And you were jealous.
Were you also angry?
845
00:41:14,701 --> 00:41:17,397
What was the effect
of that humiliation?
846
00:41:18,271 --> 00:41:21,104
Is it reason enough to
implicate your wife and her lover
847
00:41:21,104 --> 00:41:23,108
in crimes that you committed?
You alone?
848
00:41:23,108 --> 00:41:24,666
I never killed those children.
849
00:41:24,666 --> 00:41:26,906
Oh, well,
you could only enslave them.
850
00:41:26,906 --> 00:41:29,347
Did you pay for Mr.
Armandariz's liquor license?
851
00:41:29,347 --> 00:41:31,145
Did you buy him a house?
852
00:41:32,286 --> 00:41:34,117
Only because Betty insisted.
853
00:41:34,117 --> 00:41:35,485
Is that why?
854
00:41:35,689 --> 00:41:38,783
Or were you buying his silence
to cover up your crimes?
855
00:41:39,893 --> 00:41:41,190
No, that's crazy.
856
00:41:41,190 --> 00:41:44,253
Tell us, Mr. Drake,
why should we believe
857
00:41:44,465 --> 00:41:47,298
that Mr. Armandariz
killed those children?
858
00:41:48,502 --> 00:41:50,629
Why shouldn't we believe
you did it?
859
00:41:54,809 --> 00:41:56,174
It's not a good theory?
860
00:41:56,174 --> 00:41:58,337
If I was on that jury,
I'd believe Meadow.
861
00:41:58,337 --> 00:42:00,210
So he bought him a house.
Come on.
862
00:42:00,210 --> 00:42:02,044
They know Ellis Drake
was terrified.
863
00:42:02,044 --> 00:42:04,142
They also know he got a deal.
864
00:42:04,142 --> 00:42:06,949
You want to take another run
at Armandariz's wife?
865
00:42:07,455 --> 00:42:09,514
She's more afraid of him
than us.
866
00:42:09,514 --> 00:42:11,786
Who's she more afraid of
than him?
867
00:42:11,786 --> 00:42:13,760
You see her grandmother
in court today?
868
00:42:13,760 --> 00:42:15,489
If my grandmother
had a look like that,
869
00:42:15,489 --> 00:42:17,224
she could fry eggs with it.
870
00:42:17,224 --> 00:42:19,529
Maybe she's not afraid
of anybody.
871
00:42:20,936 --> 00:42:24,804
I tried, believe me,
but Lina is afraid.
872
00:42:25,941 --> 00:42:27,909
I know she was wrong, too.
873
00:42:28,678 --> 00:42:30,374
What could she do?
874
00:42:30,579 --> 00:42:33,309
Do you know if the Drakes
or Mr. Armandariz
875
00:42:33,309 --> 00:42:34,849
own any other property?
876
00:42:35,651 --> 00:42:38,279
A nightclub,
maybe somewhere else.
877
00:42:38,279 --> 00:42:39,343
I don't know.
878
00:42:39,343 --> 00:42:41,549
The other people
who worked at the sweatshop,
879
00:42:41,549 --> 00:42:44,025
if your granddaughter
could tell us what happened.
880
00:42:44,025 --> 00:42:45,823
Not Lina, not now.
881
00:42:47,531 --> 00:42:49,658
If I never said marry him...
882
00:42:51,134 --> 00:42:53,125
He pretends to love her.
883
00:42:53,437 --> 00:42:54,836
He called me.
884
00:42:55,572 --> 00:42:58,405
Told me to come be with her.
885
00:42:59,910 --> 00:43:02,208
But she can't live
in that house now.
886
00:43:02,913 --> 00:43:04,881
I'll take her to my place.
887
00:43:07,250 --> 00:43:11,187
Mrs. Andon, where did you say
you're planning to take Lina?
888
00:43:11,889 --> 00:43:13,754
To my house in Brooklyn.
889
00:43:14,292 --> 00:43:15,987
You have a house in Brooklyn?
890
00:43:15,987 --> 00:43:19,223
When did Mr. Armandariz
ask you to take care of her?
891
00:43:20,164 --> 00:43:22,564
After the police
came to the club.
892
00:43:22,564 --> 00:43:25,431
He asked you to leave your
house and go to Jersey?
893
00:43:26,304 --> 00:43:28,670
He sent a boy
from the pool hall
894
00:43:28,670 --> 00:43:31,368
to cut the grass,
get the mail, he said.
895
00:43:33,611 --> 00:43:35,511
Call Cerreta and Logan.
896
00:43:38,350 --> 00:43:40,113
He wanted my house.
897
00:44:02,375 --> 00:44:03,501
There's two of 'em.
898
00:44:03,501 --> 00:44:04,975
More underneath.
899
00:44:21,895 --> 00:44:24,659
I'll re-indict. We'll add
seven counts of murder two.
900
00:44:24,659 --> 00:44:27,165
Bodies are at
the mother-in-law's house.
901
00:44:27,165 --> 00:44:30,226
You had circumstantial,
you have more circumstantial.
902
00:44:30,226 --> 00:44:32,465
Seven bodies?
That's a lot of circumstance.
903
00:44:32,465 --> 00:44:34,167
Ellis Drake is already guilty.
904
00:44:34,167 --> 00:44:35,970
They could throw it all on him.
905
00:44:39,113 --> 00:44:42,412
Yes. We're discussing it now.
906
00:44:44,418 --> 00:44:45,976
I'll get back to you.
907
00:44:47,855 --> 00:44:49,914
Brooklyn D.A. Wants the case.
908
00:44:50,391 --> 00:44:52,120
The crime started in Manattan.
909
00:44:52,120 --> 00:44:54,424
The bodies were found
in Brooklyn.
910
00:44:54,963 --> 00:44:57,056
Their case is
no stronger than ours.
911
00:44:57,056 --> 00:44:59,225
Thank you. I was about
to say that myself.
912
00:44:59,225 --> 00:45:00,325
We could lose it all.
913
00:45:00,325 --> 00:45:03,132
Make a deal with Rudy
and the wife.
914
00:45:04,239 --> 00:45:07,037
Bluff 'em, I don't care how.
Make a deal.
915
00:45:16,084 --> 00:45:18,211
My client is receptive.
916
00:45:18,753 --> 00:45:21,655
Mine's willing,
with the right circumstances.
917
00:45:21,655 --> 00:45:24,192
Both of your clients
face 10 counts.
918
00:45:24,192 --> 00:45:26,751
Ten times 25, that's 250 years.
919
00:45:26,751 --> 00:45:28,490
We'll take one count,
murder two.
920
00:45:28,490 --> 00:45:29,861
They both do 25.
921
00:45:29,861 --> 00:45:33,025
Or we show the pictures
of the backyard to the jury.
922
00:45:33,603 --> 00:45:37,164
I don't think they'll believe
Ellis Drake did that all by himself.
923
00:45:37,640 --> 00:45:39,801
You'll never prove
my client dug that grave.
924
00:45:39,801 --> 00:45:41,138
Or mine.
925
00:45:41,344 --> 00:45:44,541
With Lina's grandmother on
the stand, I'll take my chance.
926
00:45:52,756 --> 00:45:54,883
You'll have
the plea papers today.
927
00:45:58,561 --> 00:46:00,894
Cons don't like people
who do kids.
928
00:46:00,894 --> 00:46:02,864
Rudy may not live
to get parole.
929
00:46:02,864 --> 00:46:04,628
I think he'll manage.
930
00:46:04,628 --> 00:46:06,293
Bar Association dinner
next month.
931
00:46:06,293 --> 00:46:07,564
Adam's getting an award.
932
00:46:07,564 --> 00:46:09,333
I bought a new tuxedo.
933
00:46:10,307 --> 00:46:12,469
I have to wonder who made it.
