1
00:00:27,331 --> 00:00:30,117
The latest in a long line
of racially charged incidents

2
00:00:30,160 --> 00:00:32,032
occurred yesterday,
rocking the city.

3
00:00:32,075 --> 00:00:33,772
Last night,
15-year-old Andre Watkins

4
00:00:33,816 --> 00:00:35,861
was accidentally shot
and killed by the police

5
00:00:35,905 --> 00:00:37,776
as he played basketball
with his friends.

6
00:00:37,820 --> 00:00:39,169
15 years old.

7
00:00:39,213 --> 00:00:41,041
Just a few years older
than my son.

8
00:00:41,084 --> 00:00:43,043
The police believed
Andre was armed

9
00:00:43,086 --> 00:00:44,522
and that he'd been involved
in a robbery

10
00:00:44,566 --> 00:00:45,915
that occurred nearby.

11
00:00:45,958 --> 00:00:48,439
He matched a description
of the suspect.

12
00:00:48,483 --> 00:00:50,093
Let me guess--
"black" and "male".

13
00:00:50,137 --> 00:00:52,661
That's a little harsh.
You weren't there.

14
00:00:52,704 --> 00:00:54,271
I've been there
plenty of times.

15
00:00:54,315 --> 00:00:56,708
Including when you actually
committed a crime, of course.

16
00:00:56,752 --> 00:00:58,188
As citizens of this great city,

17
00:00:58,232 --> 00:00:59,885
we all have a choice
in this moment--

18
00:00:59,929 --> 00:01:04,151
Lash out or band together
in peace, in strength.

19
00:01:04,194 --> 00:01:07,676
I urge every one of you,
remain calm and obey the law.

20
00:01:07,719 --> 00:01:08,851
No pajamas today?

21
00:01:08,894 --> 00:01:10,896
My brother let me out
of the doghouse

22
00:01:10,940 --> 00:01:12,855
and back into his apartment.

23
00:01:12,898 --> 00:01:14,726
The bed is more comfortable
than my couch,

24
00:01:14,770 --> 00:01:17,033
but I do miss walking around
the office naked.

25
00:01:17,077 --> 00:01:18,817
I'm never sitting in any
of these chairs again.

26
00:01:18,861 --> 00:01:20,602
On behalf of everyone
in law enforcement,

27
00:01:20,645 --> 00:01:22,778
I extend our deepest
condolences to Andre's family.

28
00:01:22,821 --> 00:01:25,215
Wallace might not be able to
keep the lid on this powder keg.

29
00:01:25,259 --> 00:01:28,697
He can't.
But wecan hit it head on.

30
00:01:31,003 --> 00:01:33,180
Mitchell Alan--
African-American.

31
00:01:33,223 --> 00:01:36,096
The prosecutor refereed to him
as "King Kong" at trial.

32
00:01:36,139 --> 00:01:38,141
He got 15 years
for armed robbery.

33
00:01:39,447 --> 00:01:41,101
Or Levon Cartwright--

34
00:01:41,144 --> 00:01:43,059
also black--
shot and killed

35
00:01:43,103 --> 00:01:45,583
a white trespasser
claiming self-defense,

36
00:01:45,627 --> 00:01:47,107
serving 25 years,

37
00:01:47,150 --> 00:01:49,457
unlike a white defendant
in a similar case

38
00:01:49,500 --> 00:01:51,459
who received
a suspended sentence.

39
00:01:51,502 --> 00:01:52,938
I'm sensing a theme here.

40
00:01:52,982 --> 00:01:55,071
- Oh.
- Susan Jefferson,

41
00:01:55,115 --> 00:01:57,682
serving life for killing
her abusive boyfriend.

42
00:01:57,726 --> 00:01:59,336
Her court-appointed lawyer

43
00:01:59,380 --> 00:02:01,947
was a card-carrying member
of the KKK.

44
00:02:01,991 --> 00:02:03,558
What about
Porscha Williams?

45
00:02:04,559 --> 00:02:07,779
No. That's a bad idea.

46
00:02:07,823 --> 00:02:10,086
If by bad you mean perfect,
I agree.

47
00:02:10,130 --> 00:02:12,262
Porscha Williams is
a radical black activist

48
00:02:12,306 --> 00:02:13,959
serving life for murdering
a white cop.

49
00:02:14,003 --> 00:02:16,440
After having her trial moved out
of the city to Albany

50
00:02:16,484 --> 00:02:18,486
and being found guilty
by an all-white jury

51
00:02:18,529 --> 00:02:20,009
in under three hours.

52
00:02:20,052 --> 00:02:21,228
Just because they were white
doesn't mean they were wrong.

53
00:02:21,271 --> 00:02:23,186
She was seen shooting
an NYPD officer

54
00:02:23,230 --> 00:02:25,014
when her peace rally
turned into a riot.

55
00:02:25,057 --> 00:02:26,624
A riot, a riot.

56
00:02:26,668 --> 00:02:28,452
Why do I feel like if it was
a group of white people,

57
00:02:28,496 --> 00:02:29,975
you'd be calling it
a demonstration?

58
00:02:30,019 --> 00:02:31,499
Call it what you will,
the demonstrators

59
00:02:31,542 --> 00:02:33,153
did not cooperate
with the police.

60
00:02:33,196 --> 00:02:35,633
Who showed up in riot gear like
a bunch of storm troopers.

61
00:02:35,677 --> 00:02:37,722
Have you ever been hit
with a rock or a bottle?

62
00:02:37,766 --> 00:02:39,985
It hurts no matter what race
is throwing it at you.

63
00:02:40,029 --> 00:02:41,639
- That's--
- Could we all please just--

64
00:02:41,683 --> 00:02:42,945
What, get along?
Hell no.

65
00:02:42,988 --> 00:02:44,990
This is more fun, more honest,
more productive.

66
00:02:45,034 --> 00:02:47,471
It's a case,
not a conversation starter.

67
00:02:47,515 --> 00:02:48,733
It can be both.

68
00:02:48,777 --> 00:02:50,605
A black teenager was just killed
by the cops.

69
00:02:50,648 --> 00:02:53,173
Do we really want to take on
something so racially charged?

70
00:02:53,216 --> 00:02:55,697
The city needs to know that the
CIU is fighting for justice,

71
00:02:55,740 --> 00:02:59,744
which is supposed to be blind
but is clearly not color-blind.

72
00:02:59,788 --> 00:03:01,833
Porscha's case gets
another look.

73
00:03:07,535 --> 00:03:10,494
- Captions by VITAC--

74
00:03:10,538 --> 00:03:12,757
Porscha Williams organized
a rally

75
00:03:12,801 --> 00:03:15,499
to protest racial inequality
six years ago.

76
00:03:15,543 --> 00:03:17,762
Sergeant Kelsey Blake
was among the officers

77
00:03:17,806 --> 00:03:19,286
assigned to crowd control.

78
00:03:19,329 --> 00:03:21,505
Things got heated between
Porscha's group and the cops.

79
00:03:21,549 --> 00:03:23,072
There was some shouting, pushing.

80
00:03:23,115 --> 00:03:24,291
A shot was fired.

81
00:03:24,334 --> 00:03:25,901
Sergeant Kelsey Blake
died at the scene.

82
00:03:25,944 --> 00:03:27,511
An eyewitness,
Charlie Rossmore,

83
00:03:27,555 --> 00:03:29,513
testified that he saw Porscha
fire the shot

84
00:03:29,557 --> 00:03:30,906
that killed
Sergeant Blake.

85
00:03:30,949 --> 00:03:32,429
Three other eyewitnesses--

86
00:03:32,473 --> 00:03:35,911
Jin Lee, Marcus Rodriguez,
and George Stayner--

87
00:03:35,954 --> 00:03:37,739
say they saw a gun
in her hand.

88
00:03:37,782 --> 00:03:39,784
Just because they said that
doesn't make it true.

89
00:03:39,828 --> 00:03:41,221
Porscha had
no criminal history.

90
00:03:41,264 --> 00:03:43,005
She was committed
to nonviolent protest,

91
00:03:43,048 --> 00:03:44,702
and the gun and bullet
were never found.

92
00:03:44,746 --> 00:03:46,617
Sergeant Blake was shot
with a 9 millimeter.

93
00:03:46,661 --> 00:03:47,836
Porscha owned
a 9 millimeter.

94
00:03:47,879 --> 00:03:49,359
She had gunshot residue
on her hands

95
00:03:49,403 --> 00:03:51,840
andobviously a temper.

96
00:03:51,883 --> 00:03:53,798
Everyone's picking a side.
What about you?

97
00:03:53,842 --> 00:03:55,539
The only side I'm on
is the truth.

98
00:03:55,583 --> 00:03:58,325
Still, out of 150
potential witnesses,

99
00:03:58,368 --> 00:04:00,240
more than four people
should have come forward.

100
00:04:00,283 --> 00:04:03,243
Welcome to the Cop's Dilemma--
Nobody wants to get involved.

101
00:04:03,286 --> 00:04:05,636
What if we don't need them
to want to?

102
00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:07,595
I mean, the rally was during
the age of smartphones.

103
00:04:07,638 --> 00:04:11,425
Meaning smartphone cameras
and Instagram, Facebook,

104
00:04:11,468 --> 00:04:13,862
which means all sorts of images
from the rally

105
00:04:13,905 --> 00:04:16,038
are potentially out there
waiting for us.

106
00:04:16,081 --> 00:04:18,258
Wouldn't the cops have looked
at those sites?

107
00:04:18,301 --> 00:04:20,912
Six years ago, NYPD was just
starting to use social media

108
00:04:20,956 --> 00:04:22,479
as an investigatory tool.

109
00:04:22,523 --> 00:04:24,568
I can cross-reference
geo-tags

110
00:04:24,612 --> 00:04:26,091
with time stamps
from the metadata,

111
00:04:26,135 --> 00:04:27,571
on images from the rally.

112
00:04:27,615 --> 00:04:28,746
Gesundheit.

113
00:04:28,790 --> 00:04:30,357
Go talk to the prosecutor.

114
00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:31,967
You and I will take a run
at Porscha.

115
00:04:37,973 --> 00:04:40,323
Truth is, I am guilty.

116
00:04:40,367 --> 00:04:41,977
That was quick.

117
00:04:42,020 --> 00:04:44,109
Guilty of trying to
make a difference,

118
00:04:44,153 --> 00:04:46,329
guilty
of seeking equality,

119
00:04:46,373 --> 00:04:48,288
guilty of wanting
a real conversation

120
00:04:48,331 --> 00:04:50,768
between the police and
the people of New York City.

121
00:04:50,812 --> 00:04:52,422
But not guilty
of killing Sergeant Blake.

122
00:04:52,466 --> 00:04:55,338
No,
despite what 12 uptight,

123
00:04:55,382 --> 00:04:56,731
angry white folks
from Albany say.

124
00:04:56,774 --> 00:04:58,602
Did those white folks also
buy that 9m

125
00:04:58,646 --> 00:04:59,951
and register it
in your name?

126
00:04:59,995 --> 00:05:01,910
I got rid of that gun
in a buyback program

127
00:05:01,953 --> 00:05:03,390
when I found out
I was pregnant,

128
00:05:03,433 --> 00:05:06,001
a full year
before the rally.

129
00:05:06,044 --> 00:05:08,438
All I had in my hand that day
was a cellphone.

130
00:05:08,482 --> 00:05:09,744
You didn't get arrested
with a cellphone.

131
00:05:09,787 --> 00:05:12,616
It got knocked
out of my hand.

132
00:05:12,660 --> 00:05:16,054
Must have been stolen
or kicked into a subway grate.

133
00:05:16,098 --> 00:05:18,579
I have a master's degree

134
00:05:18,622 --> 00:05:20,624
in Social Justice
and Community Development.

135
00:05:20,668 --> 00:05:22,626
I was trying to work
withlaw enforcement.

136
00:05:22,670 --> 00:05:24,715
I saw the picture
of you screaming in
Sergeant Blake's face.

137
00:05:24,759 --> 00:05:27,675
Is that you working
withlaw enforcement?

138
00:05:27,718 --> 00:05:31,635
Last year, police killed over
100 unarmed black people,

139
00:05:31,679 --> 00:05:33,507
five times the number
of unarmed whites.

140
00:05:33,550 --> 00:05:35,247
What was I supposed to do, whisper?

141
00:05:35,291 --> 00:05:37,946
Sometimes when you shout,
the message gets lost.

142
00:05:37,989 --> 00:05:42,124
And when we sit quietly
in our place, they ignore us.

143
00:05:42,167 --> 00:05:43,995
"They?"

144
00:05:44,039 --> 00:05:45,780
Reducing white people
to a monolith

145
00:05:45,823 --> 00:05:47,477
sounds a little like racism
to me.

146
00:05:47,521 --> 00:05:50,088
Not racism, anger.

147
00:05:50,132 --> 00:05:51,481
State of the world today,

148
00:05:51,525 --> 00:05:53,222
all black people
should have some.

149
00:05:53,265 --> 00:05:55,442
A whole movement
agrees with you,

150
00:05:55,485 --> 00:05:57,357
grew from
what you started.

151
00:05:57,400 --> 00:05:58,749
I'm proud of that.

152
00:05:58,793 --> 00:06:00,838
Glad to be an inspiration.

153
00:06:00,882 --> 00:06:02,362
For my daughter,
most of all.

154
00:06:02,405 --> 00:06:03,972
How old is she?

155
00:06:05,713 --> 00:06:08,063
Sophie just turned 7.

156
00:06:08,106 --> 00:06:10,413
I get to see her
every other week.

157
00:06:10,457 --> 00:06:14,504
Only 144 hours with her
since I've been in here.

158
00:06:16,898 --> 00:06:18,508
She's my inspiration.

159
00:06:18,552 --> 00:06:20,205
Soon as she was born,

160
00:06:20,249 --> 00:06:21,946
I knew I had to make
the world better

161
00:06:21,990 --> 00:06:23,165
so I don't have to worry

162
00:06:23,208 --> 00:06:24,296
about my daughter's safety
every second.

163
00:06:24,340 --> 00:06:25,950
Welcome to motherhood.

164
00:06:25,994 --> 00:06:28,779
My son is 12.
- Then you know.

165
00:06:28,823 --> 00:06:31,695
We got to work twice as hard
to protect our kids,

166
00:06:31,739 --> 00:06:33,044
from the cops, even.

167
00:06:33,088 --> 00:06:36,831
On my little girl's life,
I swear to you,

168
00:06:36,874 --> 00:06:39,007
I did not kill that woman.

169
00:06:45,187 --> 00:06:47,276
Thanks.

170
00:06:49,539 --> 00:06:52,629
Let me guess-- small coffee
and a maple scone.

171
00:06:52,673 --> 00:06:54,892
That's right.

172
00:07:05,599 --> 00:07:06,861
Thanks.

173
00:07:06,904 --> 00:07:07,949
Thanks.

174
00:07:11,953 --> 00:07:15,478
Now I know who's been leaving
all the monster tips.

175
00:07:15,522 --> 00:07:17,480
Thank you.

176
00:07:30,493 --> 00:07:34,149
It's like Facebook exploded
across all these monitors.

177
00:07:34,192 --> 00:07:37,369
I'm combing through
every social-media platform

178
00:07:37,413 --> 00:07:39,415
for user uploads
of the rally.

179
00:07:39,459 --> 00:07:42,374
EXIF data tells me when
and where they were taken.

180
00:07:42,418 --> 00:07:45,203
Then the photo stitching
software goes to work,

181
00:07:45,247 --> 00:07:48,946
merging images into a mosaic
of overlapping tiles.

182
00:07:48,990 --> 00:07:50,861
A virtual location.

183
00:07:50,905 --> 00:07:52,950
When the photo stitch
is done,

184
00:07:52,994 --> 00:07:55,213
hopefully,
we'll have a 360 view

185
00:07:55,257 --> 00:07:58,608
of the moment
Sergeant Blake was shot.

186
00:08:00,784 --> 00:08:02,177
Porscha Williams
got a fair trial.

187
00:08:02,220 --> 00:08:03,918
And as the prosecutor
who handled the case,

188
00:08:03,961 --> 00:08:06,181
I don't appreciate you
insinuating otherwise.

189
00:08:06,224 --> 00:08:07,704
I'm just trying to--

190
00:08:07,748 --> 00:08:10,272
Accuse me of perverting justice
for the "White Cause"?

191
00:08:10,315 --> 00:08:12,013
Call me a racist
for putting her in jail?

192
00:08:12,056 --> 00:08:13,623
I used to be an ADA
in the gang unit,

193
00:08:13,667 --> 00:08:15,625
so I can relate to what
you're going through.

194
00:08:16,844 --> 00:08:18,628
So why did you move trial
to Albany?

195
00:08:18,672 --> 00:08:20,325
Mayor didn't want
race riots

196
00:08:20,369 --> 00:08:22,502
dirtying up his recently
scrubbed image.

197
00:08:22,545 --> 00:08:24,895
And the all-white jury?

198
00:08:24,939 --> 00:08:26,593
It's just that Albany
has a greater percentage

199
00:08:26,636 --> 00:08:28,943
of African-Americans
than New York City.

200
00:08:28,986 --> 00:08:31,511
Not my fault they couldn't
afford to show up for jury duty.

201
00:08:31,554 --> 00:08:33,338
You excused the three people
of color who did.

202
00:08:33,382 --> 00:08:34,731
That's a potential
Batson problem.

203
00:08:34,775 --> 00:08:36,559
Those were
legitimate pre-empts.

204
00:08:36,603 --> 00:08:37,734
You suggested to the jury

205
00:08:37,778 --> 00:08:39,519
that Porscha's politics
were contagious,

206
00:08:39,562 --> 00:08:40,998
that convicting her
was crucial

207
00:08:41,042 --> 00:08:42,870
to keeping
their neighborhood safe.

208
00:08:42,913 --> 00:08:46,308
You sure you used
to be a D.A.?

209
00:08:46,351 --> 00:08:47,831
I put a cop killer in jail.

210
00:08:47,875 --> 00:08:49,311
By playing
on the jury's fear.

211
00:08:49,354 --> 00:08:53,097
My job as a prosecutor
is to win.

212
00:08:53,141 --> 00:08:55,535
End of story.

213
00:09:01,062 --> 00:09:04,195
How can this process be
simultaneously amazing

214
00:09:04,239 --> 00:09:06,154
and unbelievably boring?

215
00:09:06,197 --> 00:09:08,504
Conundrum of the Internet.

216
00:09:08,548 --> 00:09:10,332
I'm gonna get
some more coffee.

217
00:09:13,553 --> 00:09:15,380
Hey, hold up.

218
00:09:15,424 --> 00:09:17,992
Isn't this
Charlie Rossmore?

219
00:09:18,035 --> 00:09:22,344
He's the eyewitness who saw
Porscha shoot Sergeant Blake.

220
00:09:22,387 --> 00:09:24,172
What's he doing
bashing a police car

221
00:09:24,215 --> 00:09:26,174
around the same time
Sergeant Blake was shot?

222
00:09:26,217 --> 00:09:27,697
He still could have
seen the shooting.

223
00:09:27,741 --> 00:09:28,698
Where was that taken?

224
00:09:28,742 --> 00:09:30,395
A block away
from the rally.

225
00:09:30,439 --> 00:09:32,310
There's no way
he could have been there

226
00:09:32,354 --> 00:09:34,704
and there simultaneously.

227
00:09:34,748 --> 00:09:36,750
So, Charlie Rossmore,

228
00:09:36,793 --> 00:09:39,535
the one eyewitness who saw
Porscha commit the murder

229
00:09:39,579 --> 00:09:41,189
she's in prison for,

230
00:09:41,232 --> 00:09:43,539
couldn't have seen her
kill anyone.

231
00:09:43,583 --> 00:09:45,236
He lied.

232
00:09:55,769 --> 00:09:57,248
At Porscha Williams' trial,

233
00:09:57,292 --> 00:09:59,990
you testified you saw
the defendant fire a handgun

234
00:10:00,034 --> 00:10:02,297
in the direction
of NYPD Sergeant Blake.

235
00:10:02,340 --> 00:10:03,559
That's right.

236
00:10:03,603 --> 00:10:05,256
Then how do you explain
this photo, Charlie?

237
00:10:05,300 --> 00:10:07,302
This was taken around the corner
from the rally,

238
00:10:07,345 --> 00:10:09,130
just before the shooting.

239
00:10:09,173 --> 00:10:10,653
You lied under oath.

240
00:10:10,697 --> 00:10:11,915
Perjury's a serious charge.

241
00:10:11,959 --> 00:10:13,308
I didn't lie.

242
00:10:13,351 --> 00:10:15,484
Porscha Williams murdered
that police officer.

243
00:10:15,527 --> 00:10:17,878
I think you got swept up
in the moment,

244
00:10:17,921 --> 00:10:20,707
decided to get your rich,
white boy ya-yas out,

245
00:10:20,750 --> 00:10:22,230
go Beyoncé on that cop car.

246
00:10:22,273 --> 00:10:23,927
Then you heard the shot,

247
00:10:23,971 --> 00:10:25,407
ran around the corner
to see what's what.

248
00:10:25,450 --> 00:10:27,235
We good so far?
- Oh, it's good for me.

249
00:10:27,278 --> 00:10:28,628
The officers' notes say

250
00:10:28,671 --> 00:10:30,020
that you were stopped
on suspicion of vandalism?

251
00:10:30,064 --> 00:10:32,066
Ooh, suddenly you're not so down
with the struggle.

252
00:10:32,109 --> 00:10:33,763
While you see Sergeant Blake
dying on the ground,

253
00:10:33,807 --> 00:10:35,417
pretend to be a witness
to the shooting.

254
00:10:35,460 --> 00:10:36,505
And give yourself
the perfect alibi.

255
00:10:36,548 --> 00:10:37,767
Here's the deal.

256
00:10:37,811 --> 00:10:39,247
Either you go down
for perjury

257
00:10:39,290 --> 00:10:41,858
or you come clean right now
and tell us the truth.

258
00:10:45,775 --> 00:10:47,734
Okay.

259
00:10:48,996 --> 00:10:50,432
Wait.

260
00:10:50,475 --> 00:10:51,825
It's okay. It's okay.

261
00:10:55,785 --> 00:10:57,874
You're right.

262
00:10:57,918 --> 00:11:00,921
I was swept up and I went
to town on that squad car.

263
00:11:00,964 --> 00:11:03,097
Heard a shot,
and I ran over to see.

264
00:11:03,140 --> 00:11:06,491
Porscha was there on the ground,
hands zip-tied.

265
00:11:06,535 --> 00:11:10,365
So when the cops grabbed me
about the car...

266
00:11:10,408 --> 00:11:13,585
I told them that I had seen
Porscha fire the shot.

267
00:11:13,629 --> 00:11:17,154
So you lied and put
Porscha Williams in prison?

268
00:11:17,198 --> 00:11:20,070
I was there
for yourcause,

269
00:11:20,114 --> 00:11:23,334
supporting
the black struggle.

270
00:11:24,901 --> 00:11:26,642
Yeah.

271
00:11:26,686 --> 00:11:28,557
I lied.

272
00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:30,733
All right.

273
00:11:30,777 --> 00:11:34,171
Well, now you're going down
for perjury.

274
00:11:34,215 --> 00:11:35,433
But I thought you--
you said--

275
00:11:35,477 --> 00:11:36,608
I lied, too.

276
00:11:38,045 --> 00:11:39,960
Whoops.

277
00:11:42,571 --> 00:11:44,094
Charlie Rossmore recanted.

278
00:11:44,138 --> 00:11:46,531
He's the only one who testified
he saw the actual shooting.

279
00:11:46,575 --> 00:11:48,795
Yeah, but other witnesses say
they saw Porscha with a weapon.

280
00:11:48,838 --> 00:11:50,448
Talk to them,
see if they're still solid.

281
00:11:50,492 --> 00:11:52,015
Or if they could have seen
a cellphone.

282
00:11:52,059 --> 00:11:53,756
Maxine, notify
the victim's husband

283
00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:55,758
about CIU reopening the case,
cop to cop.

284
00:11:55,802 --> 00:11:56,977
Uh, you might want to go
out the loading dock.

285
00:11:57,020 --> 00:11:59,153
There's a bunch of protestors
out front.

286
00:12:04,375 --> 00:12:07,814
Oops.
Knew I forgot something.

287
00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:20,740
- We still shouldn't--
- Aren't you two cozy?

288
00:12:20,783 --> 00:12:23,220
I'd introduce you,

289
00:12:23,264 --> 00:12:24,787
but since
you introduced us...

290
00:12:24,831 --> 00:12:26,006
Good to see you,
Naomi.

291
00:12:26,049 --> 00:12:27,790
When did you get in
from Chicago?

292
00:12:27,834 --> 00:12:29,749
This morning.
Came straight from the airport.

293
00:12:29,792 --> 00:12:32,055
That's how you're doing it
these days? Straight?

294
00:12:32,099 --> 00:12:34,014
Depends.

295
00:12:34,057 --> 00:12:35,015
You look great.

296
00:12:35,058 --> 00:12:36,103
I do.

297
00:12:36,146 --> 00:12:37,278
If you're here to tell me

298
00:12:37,321 --> 00:12:38,453
you're taking on
Porscha Williams' case,

299
00:12:38,496 --> 00:12:39,671
the protestors
beat you to it.

300
00:12:40,716 --> 00:12:42,196
Naomi and I have work to do.

301
00:12:42,239 --> 00:12:44,285
Can you get him out of this mess
with the U.S. Attorney?

302
00:12:44,328 --> 00:12:46,504
The mess youcaused by
tossing him under the bus

303
00:12:46,548 --> 00:12:48,289
while baring your soul
to Dan Harris?

304
00:12:48,332 --> 00:12:49,856
I think so.

305
00:12:49,899 --> 00:12:51,858
Thanks for the billable hours,
by the way.

306
00:12:53,816 --> 00:12:55,731
I'll be down
in the small conference room.

307
00:12:55,775 --> 00:12:57,254
Your assistant
set me up there.

308
00:12:57,298 --> 00:12:59,866
Stay.
Hayes was just leaving.

309
00:13:03,130 --> 00:13:05,610
We should get a drink
while you're in town, Naomi.

310
00:13:05,654 --> 00:13:07,264
Catch up.

311
00:13:07,308 --> 00:13:08,352
I'd like that.

312
00:13:14,619 --> 00:13:17,622
I know this is difficult
for you.

313
00:13:17,666 --> 00:13:21,322
Most cops say,
"It's difficult for us."

314
00:13:21,365 --> 00:13:23,019
It's always hard
when one of us goes down,

315
00:13:23,063 --> 00:13:25,848
but... this was your wife.

316
00:13:25,892 --> 00:13:28,111
And her killer's in prison.

317
00:13:28,155 --> 00:13:30,940
Why would you want to let
Porscha Williams go free?

318
00:13:30,984 --> 00:13:33,595
We're just reviewing
the conviction.

319
00:13:35,379 --> 00:13:37,207
It's amazing.

320
00:13:37,251 --> 00:13:38,469
This fancy new unit,

321
00:13:38,513 --> 00:13:40,994
digging into old cases
for no good reason.

322
00:13:41,037 --> 00:13:42,865
Tell me what happened
that day.

323
00:13:44,562 --> 00:13:46,086
I was covering
the rear perimeter.

324
00:13:46,129 --> 00:13:47,827
Kelsey was about 20 yards
ahead of me

325
00:13:47,870 --> 00:13:49,611
on the containment line,
right up front.

326
00:13:49,654 --> 00:13:51,004
So you had
a good view of her.

327
00:13:51,047 --> 00:13:52,744
Couldn't miss her.

328
00:13:52,788 --> 00:13:54,094
All these big guys,

329
00:13:54,137 --> 00:13:56,574
one petite woman right there
with them.

330
00:13:56,618 --> 00:13:58,446
I heard she could handle
almost anything.

331
00:13:58,489 --> 00:14:00,883
Kelsey competed
in Tae Kwon Do.

332
00:14:00,927 --> 00:14:04,408
She almost made
the Olympics.

333
00:14:04,452 --> 00:14:05,975
I was looking right at her

334
00:14:06,019 --> 00:14:08,151
as that murderer
got in her face.

335
00:14:08,195 --> 00:14:11,024
Me and the other cops
from the perimeter,

336
00:14:11,067 --> 00:14:12,373
we heard the shot.

337
00:14:12,416 --> 00:14:14,331
But you didn't
see the gun?

338
00:14:18,945 --> 00:14:21,991
Kelsey, uh, she got hit
in the neck,

339
00:14:22,035 --> 00:14:24,298
just above the vest.

340
00:14:24,341 --> 00:14:26,126
It was in and out.

341
00:14:26,169 --> 00:14:27,910
Fought my way over to her,

342
00:14:27,954 --> 00:14:31,261
but I could tell right away
she was bleeding out.

343
00:14:31,305 --> 00:14:34,961
Told her I loved her.

344
00:14:36,876 --> 00:14:38,747
And she died in my arms.

345
00:14:41,184 --> 00:14:43,883
I'm so sorry for your loss.

346
00:14:43,926 --> 00:14:47,060
I don't work
patrol anymore.

347
00:14:47,103 --> 00:14:51,716
Higher ups suggested
I move to One Police Plaza,

348
00:14:51,760 --> 00:14:54,023
keep me away
from those people.

349
00:14:54,067 --> 00:14:56,939
"Those people"?

350
00:14:56,983 --> 00:14:59,855
People who killed my wife.

351
00:15:03,946 --> 00:15:06,470
I got to get back to work.

352
00:15:09,343 --> 00:15:10,779
Like I said at the trial,

353
00:15:10,822 --> 00:15:13,695
I was standing on the sidewalk
about 15 feet away.

354
00:15:13,738 --> 00:15:15,915
At first,
things were okay.

355
00:15:15,958 --> 00:15:17,307
And then what happened?

356
00:15:17,351 --> 00:15:19,527
I heard glass breaking.

357
00:15:19,570 --> 00:15:21,964
People started yelling, shoving.

358
00:15:22,008 --> 00:15:23,923
The police went on
the offensive.

359
00:15:23,966 --> 00:15:25,141
They got pretty rough.

360
00:15:25,185 --> 00:15:26,838
Are we talking
excessive force?

361
00:15:26,882 --> 00:15:28,231
No way.

362
00:15:28,275 --> 00:15:30,451
Those protestors
were out of control.

363
00:15:30,494 --> 00:15:32,670
And the cops kept telling them
to move back,

364
00:15:32,714 --> 00:15:35,412
but that crazy bitch,
she wouldn't budge.

365
00:15:35,456 --> 00:15:37,893
She keep waving that gun
in the air.

366
00:15:37,937 --> 00:15:39,764
Could it have been
a cellphone?

367
00:15:39,808 --> 00:15:41,984
No. I know a gun
when I see one.

368
00:15:42,028 --> 00:15:44,160
Been held up
a dozen times.

369
00:15:44,204 --> 00:15:46,989
Cellphone?
Maybe, yeah.

370
00:15:47,033 --> 00:15:48,904
The sun was kind of
in my eyes.

371
00:15:48,948 --> 00:15:50,471
She was out of her mind.

372
00:15:50,514 --> 00:15:52,864
She was calling
"Death to the pigs!"

373
00:15:52,908 --> 00:15:54,431
I couldn't hear
what she was shouting.

374
00:15:54,475 --> 00:15:55,780
Was she yelling
at all the cops

375
00:15:55,824 --> 00:15:57,086
or Sergeant Blake
specifically?

376
00:15:57,130 --> 00:16:00,133
No, she was in all
the cops' faces.

377
00:16:00,176 --> 00:16:03,658
I just happened to take this
when she was going at Blake.

378
00:16:03,701 --> 00:16:06,182
I snapped that,
then I bailed.

379
00:16:06,226 --> 00:16:08,271
You could just tell
it was gonna go south.

380
00:16:08,315 --> 00:16:09,707
The things she was yelling.

381
00:16:09,751 --> 00:16:11,796
You're saying Porscha
was calling for violence.

382
00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:14,103
Well, it was no
peace rally.

383
00:16:14,147 --> 00:16:15,365
I think she brought a gun

384
00:16:15,409 --> 00:16:17,585
so she could kill a cop
and get away with it.

385
00:16:21,328 --> 00:16:23,678
These were all taken by
the protestors and bystanders.

386
00:16:23,721 --> 00:16:25,027
No need for Big Brother--

387
00:16:25,071 --> 00:16:27,029
we're already
monitoring ourselves.

388
00:16:27,073 --> 00:16:29,031
This is the moment
Kelsey was shot.

389
00:16:29,075 --> 00:16:32,034
She had no idea.

390
00:16:32,078 --> 00:16:33,296
I didn't when I got hit.

391
00:16:33,340 --> 00:16:34,732
You were shot?

392
00:16:34,776 --> 00:16:35,995
In the leg.

393
00:16:36,038 --> 00:16:37,605
I didn't feel anything
for a few seconds,

394
00:16:37,648 --> 00:16:39,433
then-- Whew!-- pain
like you couldn't believe.

395
00:16:39,476 --> 00:16:42,001
Here's Porscha.

396
00:16:44,307 --> 00:16:45,526
Wait. That's not Porscha.

397
00:16:45,569 --> 00:16:46,657
It sure looks like her.

398
00:16:46,701 --> 00:16:49,356
Like, so, like, somebody

399
00:16:49,399 --> 00:16:51,358
could have gotten
them confused?

400
00:16:51,401 --> 00:16:53,316
That woman's got a clear shot
at Sergeant Blake.

401
00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:56,711
So does Porscha.
I mean, that's her, right?

402
00:16:56,754 --> 00:16:58,495
If we'regetting them
confused--

403
00:16:58,539 --> 00:17:00,019
The eyewitnesses
could have, too.

404
00:17:00,062 --> 00:17:02,760
Whoever that is...
might be our killer.

405
00:17:12,901 --> 00:17:14,772
I had the NYPD run
our Porscha look-alike

406
00:17:14,816 --> 00:17:17,036
through their advanced
facial recognition software,

407
00:17:17,079 --> 00:17:18,254
and we got a hit.

408
00:17:18,298 --> 00:17:19,864
Meet Layla Benson.

409
00:17:19,908 --> 00:17:22,302
Hmm. Not really a look-alike
after all.

410
00:17:22,345 --> 00:17:23,346
What are you talking about?

411
00:17:23,390 --> 00:17:24,956
What are youtalking about?

412
00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:27,133
- I mean, they could be sisters.
- Adopted sisters.

413
00:17:27,176 --> 00:17:29,352
Oh, I so remember
this scene from "Crash."

414
00:17:29,396 --> 00:17:32,399
I can't wait for Tess to pull
Frankie from an overturned car.

415
00:17:32,442 --> 00:17:34,096
Cross-racial I.D.s
are notoriously difficult.

416
00:17:34,140 --> 00:17:35,532
It's been
scientifically proven.

417
00:17:35,576 --> 00:17:37,099
Oh, so as long as there's
science behind it,

418
00:17:37,143 --> 00:17:38,535
it's okay to say that
we all look alike?

419
00:17:38,579 --> 00:17:40,276
That's not
what I'm saying.

420
00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:41,843
It kind of sounds like it, though.

421
00:17:41,886 --> 00:17:44,672
Regardless of this new
look-alike theory,

422
00:17:44,715 --> 00:17:47,109
it doesn't explain the gunshot
residue on Porscha's hands.

423
00:17:47,153 --> 00:17:48,719
I'm setting up an experiment
to test that out.

424
00:17:48,763 --> 00:17:51,200
And this might help, too.
Layla Benson's got a rap sheet.

425
00:17:51,244 --> 00:17:54,856
Assault, and a firearms
possession charge.

426
00:17:54,899 --> 00:17:56,640
Unlicensed 9 millimeter.

427
00:17:58,686 --> 00:18:01,167
I wasn't attendingthe protest.
I was watchingthe protest.

428
00:18:01,210 --> 00:18:02,472
There's a difference.

429
00:18:02,516 --> 00:18:04,213
Not necessarily
when you're carrying a gun.

430
00:18:04,257 --> 00:18:06,346
We pulled your rap sheet,
Layla.

431
00:18:06,389 --> 00:18:08,130
Assaulting a woman
on a crosstown bus,

432
00:18:08,174 --> 00:18:09,871
carrying an
illegal firearm.

433
00:18:09,914 --> 00:18:12,308
Homeless woman ranting
in my face, threatening me.

434
00:18:12,352 --> 00:18:14,005
It wasn't the first time, either.

435
00:18:14,049 --> 00:18:16,269
Driver didn't do anything,
so I handled it.

436
00:18:16,312 --> 00:18:17,618
With an unlicensed gun.

437
00:18:17,661 --> 00:18:19,707
I had a license. I hadn't
realized it had expired.

438
00:18:19,750 --> 00:18:22,144
So why'd you bring your piece
to the demonstration?

439
00:18:22,188 --> 00:18:24,494
Truth is,
I bring it everywhere.

440
00:18:24,538 --> 00:18:27,671
I've been mugged three times
in the last five years.

441
00:18:27,715 --> 00:18:29,673
Always by young black men.

442
00:18:29,717 --> 00:18:32,111
Like the worst kind
of wild animals--

443
00:18:32,154 --> 00:18:34,722
Whoa. You're comfortable
calling young black
men "wild animals"?

444
00:18:34,765 --> 00:18:37,638
When they stop acting that way,
I'll stop calling them that.

445
00:18:37,681 --> 00:18:41,163
And now the NYPD is shaking
in their boots,

446
00:18:41,207 --> 00:18:42,643
afraid to even stop
and frisk.

447
00:18:42,686 --> 00:18:44,819
Yeah, well, without
reasonable suspicion,

448
00:18:44,862 --> 00:18:46,125
it's a rights violation.

449
00:18:46,168 --> 00:18:48,039
What about my right to live
in a neighborhood

450
00:18:48,083 --> 00:18:49,867
where I can walk down
the street at night?

451
00:18:49,911 --> 00:18:54,089
Black lives matter, huh?
What about mine?

452
00:18:54,133 --> 00:18:56,309
Well, none of this alibis you
for the shooting.

453
00:18:56,352 --> 00:19:00,095
When the shot was fired,
I hit the ground, broke my leg.

454
00:19:00,139 --> 00:19:01,879
You could have fired the shot
before you went down.

455
00:19:01,923 --> 00:19:03,533
And done what with the gun?

456
00:19:03,577 --> 00:19:06,101
It would have been in my hand
when the paramedics got there.

457
00:19:06,145 --> 00:19:07,929
Check it out, you'll see.

458
00:19:12,151 --> 00:19:14,631
Particle count of
the gunshot residue

459
00:19:14,675 --> 00:19:16,807
on Porscha's hands
was only 50.

460
00:19:16,851 --> 00:19:18,635
Is 50 good or bad?

461
00:19:18,679 --> 00:19:20,855
Shooting someone,
close range like that,

462
00:19:20,898 --> 00:19:23,205
GSR particles
could easily top 1,000.

463
00:19:23,249 --> 00:19:25,207
But it's still
gunshot residue.

464
00:19:25,251 --> 00:19:27,078
But at-- at that level,

465
00:19:27,122 --> 00:19:29,472
it could be contamination from
her time in the patrol car.

466
00:19:29,516 --> 00:19:31,474
Or maybe not even
GSR at all.

467
00:19:31,518 --> 00:19:32,736
Watch this.

468
00:19:35,522 --> 00:19:40,222
Matches contain lead
and potassium nitrate.

469
00:19:40,266 --> 00:19:43,225
Both found in gunpowder.

470
00:19:47,751 --> 00:19:52,495
I really thought that Layla
and Porscha looked alike.

471
00:19:52,539 --> 00:19:54,193
Does that make me racist?

472
00:19:54,236 --> 00:19:56,369
Nah, it makes you white.

473
00:19:59,110 --> 00:20:03,289
Hey, look, your bad I.D.
didn't put Porscha away, okay?

474
00:20:03,332 --> 00:20:05,639
Don't sweat it.

475
00:20:07,858 --> 00:20:11,297
My aunt was murdered.

476
00:20:11,340 --> 00:20:13,081
For real?

477
00:20:15,475 --> 00:20:16,867
I'm sorry.

478
00:20:18,913 --> 00:20:21,045
I was 12.

479
00:20:21,089 --> 00:20:23,570
I walked in on it,
saw the guy who killed her.

480
00:20:23,613 --> 00:20:27,051
He was tall, thin,
Asian.

481
00:20:27,095 --> 00:20:29,228
The police caught a guy
who matched my description,

482
00:20:29,271 --> 00:20:30,533
did a lineup.

483
00:20:30,577 --> 00:20:32,840
Number five walked through
the door,

484
00:20:32,883 --> 00:20:34,711
I knewit was him.

485
00:20:34,755 --> 00:20:36,017
Mm-hmm.

486
00:20:36,060 --> 00:20:38,628
Except I was wrong.

487
00:20:41,805 --> 00:20:44,765
He spent five years in prison
until DNA exonerated him.

488
00:20:49,465 --> 00:20:53,164
He lives in the city,
has a coffee cart uptown.

489
00:20:53,208 --> 00:20:54,731
Oh, you've seen him?

490
00:20:54,775 --> 00:20:56,994
I've been going there
every day.

491
00:20:58,953 --> 00:21:00,824
He doesn't know who I am.

492
00:21:00,868 --> 00:21:04,611
Because I was a kid, I didn't
testify in open court.

493
00:21:06,700 --> 00:21:08,832
I don't know
what to say to him.

494
00:21:12,619 --> 00:21:15,317
Penance.

495
00:21:15,361 --> 00:21:18,799
Yeah, you going
to law school,

496
00:21:18,842 --> 00:21:22,716
working at the
Innocence Project, and now here.

497
00:21:22,759 --> 00:21:25,588
You're looking
for forgiveness.

498
00:21:27,503 --> 00:21:31,028
There could be
another way.

499
00:21:31,072 --> 00:21:32,291
Ask for it.

500
00:21:37,513 --> 00:21:38,601
Come here.

501
00:21:39,646 --> 00:21:41,343
Check this out.

502
00:21:41,387 --> 00:21:44,607
So, blue...

503
00:21:44,651 --> 00:21:47,088
means nitrates...

504
00:21:47,131 --> 00:21:49,090
right?

505
00:21:49,133 --> 00:21:52,746
And violet...

506
00:21:52,789 --> 00:21:55,444
means lead.

507
00:21:55,488 --> 00:21:59,666
Together, that's a positive
for gunshot residue

508
00:21:59,709 --> 00:22:02,233
at about the same particle level
on Porscha's hands.

509
00:22:02,277 --> 00:22:04,235
Just from lighting
the match.

510
00:22:04,279 --> 00:22:05,280
Yeah.

511
00:22:05,324 --> 00:22:07,456
GSR evidence is out.

512
00:22:07,500 --> 00:22:09,110
Score one for Porscha.

513
00:22:13,114 --> 00:22:15,551
I hope you know what you're
doing with this case.

514
00:22:15,595 --> 00:22:18,380
Wallace's image can't handle
another hit right now.

515
00:22:18,424 --> 00:22:20,034
You're awfully protective
of him.

516
00:22:20,077 --> 00:22:21,427
He's my client.

517
00:22:21,470 --> 00:22:22,645
Among other things.

518
00:22:22,689 --> 00:22:24,691
When I suggested meeting
for a drink,

519
00:22:24,734 --> 00:22:28,042
I imagined we'd meet at a bar
or my place.

520
00:22:28,085 --> 00:22:30,131
We need to talk business.

521
00:22:30,174 --> 00:22:32,438
As far as Porscha Williams
is concerned,

522
00:22:32,481 --> 00:22:35,179
we'd like you to refrain
from making statements.

523
00:22:35,223 --> 00:22:36,224
"We"?

524
00:22:37,878 --> 00:22:39,227
I speak for Wallace.

525
00:22:39,270 --> 00:22:43,013
Any requests he has,
he can ask me himself.

526
00:22:43,057 --> 00:22:45,146
You are still
not over him.

527
00:22:45,189 --> 00:22:48,236
Encouraging in a way,
since you dumped me for him.

528
00:22:48,279 --> 00:22:49,933
You know why he hired you?

529
00:22:49,977 --> 00:22:52,849
Because I'm a fantastic lawyer
with loads of experience

530
00:22:52,893 --> 00:22:55,156
dealing with these kinds
of witch hunts.

531
00:22:55,199 --> 00:22:57,288
And he wanted to hurt me.

532
00:22:57,332 --> 00:22:59,726
Do you really think
I don't know that?

533
00:22:59,769 --> 00:23:03,730
It doesn't bother you,
being a pawn in our game?

534
00:23:03,773 --> 00:23:06,210
Oh, I prefer to think of myself
as a player.

535
00:23:06,254 --> 00:23:08,299
And no,
it doesn't bother me.

536
00:23:08,343 --> 00:23:11,607
You and Wallace
are always...

537
00:23:11,651 --> 00:23:13,392
interesting to be around.

538
00:23:13,435 --> 00:23:14,436
Hmm.

539
00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:16,003
Both of us--

540
00:23:16,046 --> 00:23:19,876
Are we...
equally interesting?

541
00:23:19,920 --> 00:23:24,881
Well... you are the one
who caught my eye first,

542
00:23:24,925 --> 00:23:26,666
historically speaking.

543
00:23:30,452 --> 00:23:33,194
We should have met
at your place.

544
00:23:33,237 --> 00:23:35,718
It's not far away.

545
00:23:40,897 --> 00:23:42,290
Hey. Wallace.

546
00:23:42,333 --> 00:23:44,814
No, you're not
interrupting anything.

547
00:23:46,425 --> 00:23:47,556
On my way.

548
00:24:02,005 --> 00:24:03,442
Hey, Tess.

549
00:24:03,485 --> 00:24:05,052
I just got ahold
of the paramedics

550
00:24:05,095 --> 00:24:06,488
that dealt
with Layla Benson's leg.

551
00:24:06,532 --> 00:24:08,098
There's no way Layla could have
been the shooter.

552
00:24:08,142 --> 00:24:10,797
Maxine, this is Lance Williams,
Porscha's husband,

553
00:24:10,840 --> 00:24:13,103
and their daughter,
Sophie.

554
00:24:13,147 --> 00:24:14,844
- Maxine Bohen.
- Nice to meet you.

555
00:24:14,888 --> 00:24:17,107
It's nice to meet you,
Sophie.

556
00:24:17,151 --> 00:24:18,761
We were downstairs
at the protest.

557
00:24:18,805 --> 00:24:20,415
Sophie wanted
to meet the people

558
00:24:20,459 --> 00:24:22,765
who are gonna bring
her mom home.

559
00:24:22,809 --> 00:24:25,855
Mr. Williams, there's no
guarantee that--

560
00:24:25,899 --> 00:24:27,814
Thank you, ma'am.

561
00:24:27,857 --> 00:24:31,252
Well, isn't this cozy?

562
00:24:31,295 --> 00:24:34,342
The CIU didn't roll out
the red carpet for me,

563
00:24:34,385 --> 00:24:36,518
but since dead cops
don't matter,

564
00:24:36,562 --> 00:24:37,737
why would their husbands?

565
00:24:37,780 --> 00:24:39,216
Officer Blake,
you shouldn't be here.

566
00:24:39,260 --> 00:24:41,915
Kelsey and I
wanted kids, too.

567
00:24:41,958 --> 00:24:44,091
We were waiting till I passed
my sergeant's exam.

568
00:24:44,134 --> 00:24:45,701
She was picking up
an extra shift

569
00:24:45,745 --> 00:24:47,311
when she was
working that rally.

570
00:24:47,355 --> 00:24:49,139
I'm sure she was
a wonderful woman.

571
00:24:49,183 --> 00:24:50,750
Too bad your bitch wife
took her away!

572
00:24:50,793 --> 00:24:52,621
- My man--
- Cool it! Both of you!

573
00:24:52,665 --> 00:24:54,144
Daddy!

574
00:24:54,188 --> 00:24:56,059
It's okay, Sophie.

575
00:24:57,800 --> 00:24:59,323
Let's go home.

576
00:25:04,241 --> 00:25:05,547
You need to stand down.

577
00:25:05,591 --> 00:25:07,070
How do you sleep at night?

578
00:25:07,114 --> 00:25:08,724
Getting murderers
out of prison,

579
00:25:08,768 --> 00:25:10,291
people you used
to put away.

580
00:25:10,334 --> 00:25:12,641
Someone needs to police
the police.

581
00:25:12,685 --> 00:25:15,252
And that had to be you?

582
00:25:15,296 --> 00:25:17,341
I guess black trumps blue.

583
00:25:17,385 --> 00:25:18,995
Okay, I'm gonna
give you a pass

584
00:25:19,039 --> 00:25:20,562
because you are grieving
and drunk,

585
00:25:20,606 --> 00:25:21,955
but you need to understand

586
00:25:21,998 --> 00:25:24,261
that Porscha Williams
may not have killed your wife.

587
00:25:24,305 --> 00:25:28,178
And you need to accept that she
isn't who she says she is.

588
00:25:28,222 --> 00:25:31,094
A friend of mine owns a firing
range up in Westchester.

589
00:25:32,356 --> 00:25:34,794
Your client is no MLK.

590
00:25:53,073 --> 00:25:56,032
Those earrings look great
with the AK.

591
00:25:56,076 --> 00:25:58,382
You got an explanation
for this, Porscha?

592
00:25:58,426 --> 00:25:59,427
Don't need one.

593
00:25:59,470 --> 00:26:00,602
So you preach
nonviolence,

594
00:26:00,646 --> 00:26:02,169
yet here you are,
armed to the teeth.

595
00:26:02,212 --> 00:26:04,301
That picture was taken
a long time ago.

596
00:26:04,345 --> 00:26:05,520
People change.

597
00:26:05,564 --> 00:26:06,608
You're such a hypocrite.

598
00:26:06,652 --> 00:26:08,654
So much for a sister
having my back.

599
00:26:08,697 --> 00:26:09,785
I'm not your sister.

600
00:26:09,829 --> 00:26:12,179
- No, you're not.
- You don't know me.

601
00:26:12,222 --> 00:26:15,051
I know our people are fighting
a war against injustice,

602
00:26:15,095 --> 00:26:17,140
and you'residing
with our oppressors.

603
00:26:17,184 --> 00:26:21,014
"My people" are
the 34,000 police officers

604
00:26:21,057 --> 00:26:23,320
who keep the city safe.

605
00:26:23,364 --> 00:26:26,367
Akai Gurly-- gunned down in
the stairwell of his building.

606
00:26:26,410 --> 00:26:29,326
Delrawn Small--
shot by an off-duty cop.

607
00:26:29,370 --> 00:26:31,807
Tamon Robinson-- killed
for stealing paving stones.

608
00:26:31,851 --> 00:26:34,244
Not all cops are like that.
That's not me.

609
00:26:34,288 --> 00:26:35,637
It shouldn't be.
You're a black woman.

610
00:26:35,681 --> 00:26:36,682
Oh, you still
consider me black?

611
00:26:36,725 --> 00:26:39,336
I wasn't sure.
- With a black son.

612
00:26:39,380 --> 00:26:41,164
You know he has a target
on his back.

613
00:26:41,208 --> 00:26:43,471
- You leave him out of this.
- And you know they won't.

614
00:26:43,514 --> 00:26:45,647
No matter how much of a "House
Negro" you raise him to be.

615
00:26:45,691 --> 00:26:46,822
Maxine!

616
00:27:02,882 --> 00:27:06,102
You done with me, too?
You think I killed that cop?

617
00:27:06,146 --> 00:27:07,887
The evidence is stacked
against you.

618
00:27:07,930 --> 00:27:11,107
It must be nice...

619
00:27:11,151 --> 00:27:12,935
being a white rich girl

620
00:27:12,979 --> 00:27:16,678
caught with cocaine in her purse
and gets off scot-free.

621
00:27:16,722 --> 00:27:18,637
Me?

622
00:27:18,680 --> 00:27:20,377
The second after that shot
was fired,

623
00:27:20,421 --> 00:27:23,685
I was on the ground,
hands zip-tied behind my back.

624
00:27:23,729 --> 00:27:26,645
Two hours facedown
on the pavement,

625
00:27:26,688 --> 00:27:28,255
102 degree heat,

626
00:27:28,298 --> 00:27:30,736
sucking exhaust fumes
from the coroner's van.

627
00:27:30,779 --> 00:27:35,088
The medical examiner's van
was there all that time?

628
00:27:38,744 --> 00:27:41,660
I lost it, Dad.

629
00:27:41,703 --> 00:27:44,532
The things she said,

630
00:27:44,575 --> 00:27:47,143
that everyone's saying.

631
00:27:47,187 --> 00:27:49,319
I don't even know
who I am anymore.

632
00:27:49,363 --> 00:27:52,366
You can't pay attention
to what other people say.

633
00:27:52,409 --> 00:27:55,456
Do you ever worry that we're
on the wrong side?

634
00:27:55,499 --> 00:27:56,718
Not for a minute.

635
00:27:56,762 --> 00:27:57,937
Maybe that's the thing, though.

636
00:27:57,980 --> 00:28:00,635
Maybe-- Maybe there's more
than one side.

637
00:28:00,679 --> 00:28:05,988
I'm a cop and a woman
and a mother and an addict.

638
00:28:06,032 --> 00:28:07,860
Recoveringaddict.

639
00:28:07,903 --> 00:28:09,035
And I'm black.

640
00:28:10,384 --> 00:28:14,301
And sometimes I realize
that's all anybody sees.

641
00:28:14,344 --> 00:28:17,304
Race trumps everything.

642
00:28:17,347 --> 00:28:20,089
I didn't choose it,
I can't escape it--

643
00:28:20,133 --> 00:28:21,787
not that I'd want to.

644
00:28:25,355 --> 00:28:29,708
And that's how the world
sees Ashton.

645
00:28:29,751 --> 00:28:33,973
I'm raising
a black boy in America.

646
00:28:35,801 --> 00:28:37,759
How do I keep him safe?

647
00:28:40,327 --> 00:28:43,373
Keep raising him right.

648
00:28:43,417 --> 00:28:44,810
You're strong, Max.

649
00:28:44,853 --> 00:28:47,073
You're bringing up a strong boy
the best you can.

650
00:28:50,163 --> 00:28:52,339
That's all you can do.

651
00:28:52,382 --> 00:28:55,516
What if it's not enough?

652
00:29:09,617 --> 00:29:12,707
It's still there.
Two hours...

653
00:29:12,751 --> 00:29:13,839
Glad you're back, Maxine.

654
00:29:13,882 --> 00:29:15,623
This is Dr. Kassar.

655
00:29:15,666 --> 00:29:17,494
He was the M.E.
on the Kelsey Blake case.

656
00:29:17,538 --> 00:29:20,019
He's trying to help us figure
out the significance of this,

657
00:29:20,062 --> 00:29:21,803
from two hours
after she was shot.

658
00:29:21,847 --> 00:29:23,370
Why is the M.E.'s van
still on the scene?

659
00:29:23,413 --> 00:29:24,632
Engine trouble.

660
00:29:24,675 --> 00:29:26,808
Could the delays have affected
your findings?

661
00:29:26,852 --> 00:29:28,331
No.
The air-conditioning units

662
00:29:28,375 --> 00:29:29,985
in our vans
run on separate power.

663
00:29:30,029 --> 00:29:31,726
What if the A.C.
was on the fritz?

664
00:29:31,770 --> 00:29:33,641
Once we found out
about the engine issues,

665
00:29:33,684 --> 00:29:34,903
I checked the records.

666
00:29:34,947 --> 00:29:37,166
A major coolant leak was found
the next day.

667
00:29:38,559 --> 00:29:40,430
Middle of the summer.
Middle of the day.

668
00:29:40,474 --> 00:29:41,910
Two hours.
Temp increase.

669
00:29:41,954 --> 00:29:43,129
Doubling the rate of--

670
00:29:43,172 --> 00:29:45,392
The body went directly
into cold storage.

671
00:29:45,435 --> 00:29:46,915
I had no way of knowing.

672
00:29:46,959 --> 00:29:48,917
Could the high temperatures
have affected your findings?

673
00:29:48,961 --> 00:29:50,919
Decomposition would have
been accelerated.

674
00:29:50,963 --> 00:29:52,965
There'd be changed
to the wound diameter,

675
00:29:53,008 --> 00:29:54,967
at least at the surface.

676
00:29:56,446 --> 00:29:59,406
Is it possible that she wasn't
killed by a 9-millimeter bullet?

677
00:29:59,449 --> 00:30:01,887
No, it was definitely
a 9 millimeter,

678
00:30:01,930 --> 00:30:05,107
but... what I thought
was the exit wound

679
00:30:05,151 --> 00:30:06,979
is quite possibly
the entry wound.

680
00:30:08,241 --> 00:30:10,112
Porscha was standing in front
of Sergeant Blake.

681
00:30:10,156 --> 00:30:12,680
Her real killer might have
been behind her.

682
00:30:25,301 --> 00:30:27,521
The M.E. looked back
over everything.

683
00:30:27,564 --> 00:30:28,914
What appeared to be
the entry wound

684
00:30:28,957 --> 00:30:30,654
was definitely
the exit wound.

685
00:30:30,698 --> 00:30:33,440
Whoever killed Kelsey
was standing behind her.

686
00:30:33,483 --> 00:30:34,876
Porscha Williams
is innocent.

687
00:30:34,920 --> 00:30:37,923
Good work.
Draw up release papers.

688
00:30:37,966 --> 00:30:40,403
Absolutely not.
Under no circumstances.

689
00:30:40,447 --> 00:30:41,491
That can't happen.

690
00:30:41,535 --> 00:30:42,928
She's innocent,
didn't do it,

691
00:30:42,971 --> 00:30:44,277
wasn't the shooter.

692
00:30:44,320 --> 00:30:46,061
See, I can say the same thing
three ways, too.

693
00:30:46,105 --> 00:30:47,193
We need to release Porscha.

694
00:30:47,236 --> 00:30:48,498
Bigger picture.

695
00:30:48,542 --> 00:30:49,717
There is
no bigger picture

696
00:30:49,760 --> 00:30:50,892
than an innocent woman
in prison

697
00:30:50,936 --> 00:30:52,067
for a crime
she didn't commit.

698
00:30:52,111 --> 00:30:53,199
Hayes is right.

699
00:30:53,242 --> 00:30:54,983
NYPD can sort out
the rest from here.

700
00:30:55,027 --> 00:30:57,986
Two smart people,
one terrible decision.

701
00:30:58,030 --> 00:31:00,902
Releasing Porscha without
finding the actual perpetrator

702
00:31:00,946 --> 00:31:03,078
will make your office
appear incompetent.

703
00:31:03,122 --> 00:31:06,125
In light of recent media events,
we can't risk that.

704
00:31:06,168 --> 00:31:09,302
Instead, you risk the
demonstrations getting violent.

705
00:31:09,345 --> 00:31:12,131
That's why you need to find
the real killer, quickly.

706
00:31:12,174 --> 00:31:14,568
Why leave all the fun
for the cops?

707
00:31:14,611 --> 00:31:16,744
You know you'd rather
do it yourself.

708
00:31:17,963 --> 00:31:20,269
I'd forgotten
how good you are.

709
00:31:20,313 --> 00:31:21,270
No, you hadn't.

710
00:31:23,142 --> 00:31:25,884
Sergeant Blake
and her partner were
at this intersection

711
00:31:25,927 --> 00:31:28,147
to keep the crowd from spilling
off of St. Nicholas

712
00:31:28,190 --> 00:31:30,845
and onto 121st.

713
00:31:30,889 --> 00:31:32,934
There was a three-man
response team behind her,

714
00:31:32,978 --> 00:31:34,283
including
her husband, Ryan.

715
00:31:34,327 --> 00:31:38,592
The crowd passed through
at approximately 1:37 p.m.

716
00:31:38,635 --> 00:31:40,811
And that's when all hell
broke loose.

717
00:31:51,735 --> 00:31:53,563
Protestors clashed
with the police.

718
00:31:53,607 --> 00:31:56,218
Sergeant Blake was on
containment in the front line.

719
00:32:07,926 --> 00:32:09,928
Porscha and Sergeant Blake
got into it.

720
00:32:09,971 --> 00:32:10,972
And that's when
it happened.

721
00:32:12,234 --> 00:32:14,019
Stay where you are!
Stay where you are!

722
00:32:42,047 --> 00:32:43,570
Stay down!
Stay down!

723
00:32:43,613 --> 00:32:44,788
No!
Give me your hands!

724
00:32:44,832 --> 00:32:46,616
No!

725
00:32:46,660 --> 00:32:49,837
She was shot right here
and died.

726
00:32:49,880 --> 00:32:51,360
Porscha was right here,

727
00:32:51,404 --> 00:32:54,276
and now we know whoever fired
the gun was over there.

728
00:33:05,418 --> 00:33:06,985
What are you looking for?

729
00:33:07,028 --> 00:33:08,160
The bullet.

730
00:33:08,203 --> 00:33:09,639
If the cops thought
Porscha did it,

731
00:33:09,683 --> 00:33:11,685
then they were looking on
the wrong side of the street.

732
00:33:14,862 --> 00:33:15,906
Will you hold that?

733
00:33:19,823 --> 00:33:21,782
The wall was patched here.

734
00:33:33,185 --> 00:33:35,013
Hello.

735
00:33:45,197 --> 00:33:48,896
The ballistics on Ryan Blake's
gun came back.

736
00:33:48,939 --> 00:33:52,160
The spent bullet we found
spun clockwise, to the right.

737
00:33:52,204 --> 00:33:53,857
But the rifling grooves
in Ryan's weapon

738
00:33:53,901 --> 00:33:54,989
have a left-hand twist.

739
00:33:55,033 --> 00:33:57,339
Ryan didn't shoot
his wife.

740
00:33:57,383 --> 00:33:59,515
The two officers standing
near him didn't, either.

741
00:33:59,559 --> 00:34:01,865
NYPD keeps good records
of officers' weapons,

742
00:34:01,909 --> 00:34:03,693
especially if
they've been fired.

743
00:34:03,737 --> 00:34:04,999
None of the guns matched.

744
00:34:05,043 --> 00:34:06,174
So who else
could have done it?

745
00:34:07,132 --> 00:34:09,177
This is the deep background
behind Ryan.

746
00:34:09,221 --> 00:34:11,353
It's time-stamped one minute
before the shooting.

747
00:34:11,397 --> 00:34:13,399
Who's that near the cops?

748
00:34:13,442 --> 00:34:15,357
That's George Stayner.

749
00:34:15,401 --> 00:34:17,620
The doorman who testified
against Porscha?

750
00:34:17,664 --> 00:34:20,058
He was a security guard
back then,

751
00:34:20,101 --> 00:34:23,365
had a 9 millimeter registered
to his name,

752
00:34:23,409 --> 00:34:25,280
but he wasn't licensed
as an armed guard,

753
00:34:25,324 --> 00:34:27,152
didn't have
a carry permit.

754
00:34:27,195 --> 00:34:28,762
Then why is he wearing
a holster?

755
00:34:30,242 --> 00:34:32,505
An empty holster.

756
00:34:32,548 --> 00:34:34,985
Looks like the rent-a-cop
might be our shooter.

757
00:34:47,737 --> 00:34:48,869
George!

758
00:34:48,912 --> 00:34:51,480
Remember me?
This is Maxine Bohen.

759
00:34:51,524 --> 00:34:53,091
On the day Sergeant Kelsey Blake
was shot, you--

760
00:34:55,876 --> 00:34:56,833
Stop!

761
00:35:07,409 --> 00:35:09,542
It's over!

762
00:35:09,585 --> 00:35:10,804
There's nowhere to go!

763
00:35:16,810 --> 00:35:19,334
You don't want this,
George.

764
00:35:19,378 --> 00:35:22,511
Put the gun down.
Let's talk.

765
00:35:24,339 --> 00:35:27,125
It was an accident,
I swear.

766
00:35:27,168 --> 00:35:28,387
I know.

767
00:35:28,430 --> 00:35:31,825
You were scared.

768
00:35:31,868 --> 00:35:34,044
This isn't you.

769
00:35:34,088 --> 00:35:36,264
George, it's not.

770
00:35:36,308 --> 00:35:37,613
Talk to me.

771
00:35:37,657 --> 00:35:39,006
You don't understand.

772
00:35:39,049 --> 00:35:40,094
I do.

773
00:35:40,138 --> 00:35:42,270
I was a cop.

774
00:35:42,314 --> 00:35:44,968
When I wore the badge, it was
my duty to protect and serve.

775
00:35:45,012 --> 00:35:46,187
You've been there, too.

776
00:35:46,231 --> 00:35:50,191
Yeah.
I didn't mean to kill anyone.

777
00:35:50,235 --> 00:35:51,975
Things just
kind of got crazy.

778
00:35:52,019 --> 00:35:53,412
I get it.

779
00:35:53,455 --> 00:35:56,763
You pulled your weapon
just in case.

780
00:35:56,806 --> 00:35:58,373
You were scared.

781
00:35:58,417 --> 00:36:01,463
We're always scared of people
who aren't like us.

782
00:36:01,507 --> 00:36:04,423
Just give me the weapon.
It'll be okay.

783
00:36:07,252 --> 00:36:09,950
I can't go to jail.

784
00:36:09,993 --> 00:36:12,213
You got kids, George?

785
00:36:12,257 --> 00:36:14,302
No.

786
00:36:14,346 --> 00:36:17,827
My boy-- My boy's
so sweet and gentle.

787
00:36:17,871 --> 00:36:20,787
He's only 12 years old.

788
00:36:20,830 --> 00:36:22,745
You know what
I'm scared of?

789
00:36:22,789 --> 00:36:26,227
I'm scared that I'm not gonna
get to see him grow up,

790
00:36:26,271 --> 00:36:28,490
that I can't keep him safe.
Please.

791
00:36:28,534 --> 00:36:32,712
Pleaselet me do that,
George.

792
00:36:32,755 --> 00:36:34,670
People make mistakes, right?

793
00:36:34,714 --> 00:36:37,717
Yeah, and they deserve
forgiveness.

794
00:36:37,760 --> 00:36:39,284
Trust me.

795
00:36:39,327 --> 00:36:40,807
Maxine, don't.

796
00:36:48,945 --> 00:36:50,991
That's good.

797
00:36:51,034 --> 00:36:54,037
That's really good,
George.

798
00:36:54,081 --> 00:36:55,822
Just put it on the ground.

799
00:36:55,865 --> 00:36:57,519
The cops
are gonna want me dead

800
00:36:57,563 --> 00:36:59,260
because I killed
one of theirs.

801
00:36:59,304 --> 00:37:00,566
That's not true.

802
00:37:00,609 --> 00:37:02,698
And the blacks in prison
are gonna kill me

803
00:37:02,742 --> 00:37:04,091
for what I did to Porscha.

804
00:37:04,134 --> 00:37:05,223
No.

805
00:37:06,441 --> 00:37:07,921
No!

806
00:37:25,591 --> 00:37:27,375
Mama, mama!

807
00:37:35,078 --> 00:37:37,037
So good to see you!

808
00:37:51,399 --> 00:37:53,096
Um, give me two minutes?

809
00:37:53,140 --> 00:37:54,576
- Yeah, for sure.
- Okay.

810
00:37:54,620 --> 00:37:56,752
Baby,
give mommy two minutes?

811
00:37:56,796 --> 00:37:58,145
Okay.

812
00:38:04,020 --> 00:38:05,805
Thank you.

813
00:38:05,848 --> 00:38:07,589
Those things I said.
I--

814
00:38:07,633 --> 00:38:09,852
We both got hot.

815
00:38:09,896 --> 00:38:13,465
- You okay?
- Yeah, I just... tweaked my back.

816
00:38:14,988 --> 00:38:18,861
There's a lotof people
out there waiting for you.

817
00:38:21,647 --> 00:38:24,867
You'll see.

818
00:38:24,911 --> 00:38:26,913
Your husband
and your daughter--

819
00:38:26,956 --> 00:38:30,351
They'll see
what you started,

820
00:38:30,395 --> 00:38:33,006
what you helped build.

821
00:38:33,049 --> 00:38:35,835
Thank you.

822
00:38:42,145 --> 00:38:43,886
Let's get out of here!

823
00:38:55,245 --> 00:38:57,639
With the help of
the Conviction Integrity Unit,

824
00:38:57,683 --> 00:38:59,902
Porscha Williams was released
earlier today

825
00:38:59,946 --> 00:39:02,122
after being exonerated
for the 2010 murder

826
00:39:02,165 --> 00:39:03,776
- of Sergeant Kelsey Blake.
- Thank you.

827
00:39:04,864 --> 00:39:06,518
She reunited with her family

828
00:39:06,561 --> 00:39:08,476
and was met with cheers
from the enthusiastic crowd

829
00:39:08,520 --> 00:39:10,130
of supporters gathered
- at the prison.
- A small coffee, please.

830
00:39:10,173 --> 00:39:13,742
Many believe her incarceration
gave rise to the movement...

831
00:39:13,786 --> 00:39:15,701
Thank you. Take care.

832
00:39:17,703 --> 00:39:19,705
Hey, small coffee,
maple scone.

833
00:39:21,402 --> 00:39:22,534
Hi.

834
00:39:24,100 --> 00:39:26,886
I'm Tess.

835
00:39:26,929 --> 00:39:28,409
There's something
I wanted to--

836
00:39:28,453 --> 00:39:30,019
Well, it's about time.

837
00:39:30,063 --> 00:39:32,413
I was wondering when you would
actually start a conversation.

838
00:39:39,072 --> 00:39:40,595
On me.

839
00:39:40,639 --> 00:39:44,077
Least I could do
after all your crazy tips.

840
00:39:45,383 --> 00:39:46,514
It's really good coffee.

841
00:39:48,821 --> 00:39:51,476
Nice to meet you, Tess.
I'm Matty.

842
00:39:51,519 --> 00:39:52,955
You from around here?

843
00:39:52,999 --> 00:39:55,480
I mean, I figured
since you're here every day...

844
00:39:55,523 --> 00:39:58,004
It's on my route.

845
00:40:06,578 --> 00:40:10,059
Sam told me what happened
with George.

846
00:40:10,103 --> 00:40:11,757
You're a badass.

847
00:40:13,149 --> 00:40:14,673
Seriously stupid badass.

848
00:40:14,716 --> 00:40:18,677
Which calls for single-malt,
older than both of us.

849
00:40:22,463 --> 00:40:23,638
You picked this case

850
00:40:23,682 --> 00:40:24,987
because you wanted to start
a conversation

851
00:40:25,031 --> 00:40:26,424
so nothing's left unsaid.

852
00:40:26,467 --> 00:40:27,555
That's right.

853
00:40:27,599 --> 00:40:29,035
It's pretty easy
to call for free speech

854
00:40:29,078 --> 00:40:30,776
when the nastiest insults
are never hurled at you.

855
00:40:32,299 --> 00:40:34,432
I've no interest
in going back to a time

856
00:40:34,475 --> 00:40:36,564
when white people toss around
the "N" word.

857
00:40:36,608 --> 00:40:38,436
Point taken.

858
00:40:42,004 --> 00:40:43,441
No, thanks.

859
00:40:43,484 --> 00:40:44,790
Not a scotch fan?

860
00:40:44,833 --> 00:40:46,095
I'm a drug addict.

861
00:40:46,139 --> 00:40:48,750
Mm. Interesting.

862
00:40:51,492 --> 00:40:54,234
You were saying?

863
00:40:54,277 --> 00:40:56,454
When I was recovering
from getting shot,

864
00:40:56,497 --> 00:40:58,456
I got hooked
on pain pills.

865
00:40:58,499 --> 00:41:00,588
Been sober 19 months,
2 days.

866
00:41:00,632 --> 00:41:02,851
You gonna be okay?

867
00:41:02,895 --> 00:41:06,289
Gonna go be with my son.

868
00:41:06,333 --> 00:41:07,552
