Detective Farrow,
you just testified that you

arrested my client based upon
your suspicion that he was

engaging in drug trafficking,
is that correct?

Yes.
Officers Silva and Harris

observed Marcos Romesko,
an associate of Mr. LaRosa's,

selling another individual
over three kilos of cocaine.

Mr. Romesko.
Not, Angel LaRosa.

Mr. Romesko had been
at Mr. LaRosa's home

- earlier that evening.
- He had also been

to McDonald's.
Are you planning to arrest

Ronald as well?

Mr. Romesko left
Mr. LaRosa's and went directly

to make the drug deal.
It's reasonable to infer

that their visit
wasn't a social call.

Detective, are you aware
that Mr. Romesko has known

Mr. LaRosa since high school?
That the two of them served

in the army together?
And that Mr. LaRosa was the

Godfather at Mr. Romesko's
daughter's baptism 4 years ago?

- No.
- So you would have to

concede that it's at least
possible that this was

purely a social call
between two close friends.

My men had observed
them for over two weeks.

I trust their observations
and conclusions.

Well I'm glad you
bring that up, since I plan to

call three witnesses who will
testify that your men have been

proposing that making cash
donations to them will make my

witnesses' lives easier.

And I'm not talking about
buying raffle tickets to

the Policeman's Ball,
am I, Detective?

I came as soon as I heard.

- I'm so sorry.
- What happened?

They're saying I killed
Alderman Sutton.

That is ridiculous.

They grilled me for hours...
kept asking me over and over

again, "Why did you kill him?
Why did you kill him?"

Who questioned you?

Farrow...
then O'Brien.

Whew...

Did you say anything?

Only that I wanted you here.

Unbelievable.

We're going to nail him.

O'Brien says that it was
your weapon that killed him,

a .22 automatic.

What?

Last month I had a gun
stolen from my car.

But I called in a theft
report the next day.

You never told me you had a gun.

I bought it years ago
after a rash of car-jackings

near my office building.
I kept it in my glove box.

I never even fired it.

But I saw it again tonight when
Farrow shoved it in my face.

I guess he thought it
would make me confess.

- That bastard.
- O'Brien was more tactful.

He told me I could spare you
the pain and embarrassment

if I just admit what I did.

Bobby, is there anyone
out there with an obvious

- grudge against you?
- Laney, you don't get

to where I am without
making enemies.

- Who?
- Jack Rourke.

He tried to take me over last
year, and I wouldn't budge.

He told me it was just a matter
of time before he owned me.

Well, Rourke does
have quite a reputation.

But we couldn't find anything
on him the whole eight years

I was with the State's Attorney.

He has almost 20 percent
of all the freight that comes

into the harbor as it is.

If I'm gone he gets
over a quarter.

That doesn't make
him a murderer.

Better people
have killed for less.

I know Sutton was really
tough with his investigations,

but he was on the council
for a lot of years without

anyone taking a shot at him.
Why now?

Maybe you should ask Rourke,

or Farrow...
See what ax he has to grind.

- Bobby...
- He's never forgiven me for

being with you and you know it.

It was over with him
way before I even met you.

- And he knows that.
- You didn't see the rage

in his eyes tonight
when he was grilling me.

It was like he was savoring it.

He's never let you go.

Laney, in his mind he has his
killer, me, and I don't think

that's going to change.

I'll talk to O'Brien.

He calls the shots, not Farrow.

- And if you can't?
- Then I'll take the case.

Look, you've got to think
rationally about what

that would mean.
I mean you've worked way

too hard to risk
everything on this.

This isn't about my career.
Okay? It's about us.

But if you keep a low
profile on this, it may all

blow over for you.

You're my fiancé, Bobby.

The whole City of
Chicago knows it.

How is running and hiding
going to be better for me?

- It will make things easier.
- Well, I've never done

things the easy way, and
I do not plan to start now.

But there is something
that I have to ask you

- before I take this on.
- What?

Did you kill Alderman Sutton,
or have anything to do

with his death?

No.

Because if you lie to me,

or if it even appears
that you lied to me,

I'll have to withdraw.

Laney, I would never lie to you.

I know.

I just had to ask...

for the record.

Gosh, look at you.
You're so calm.

With my fiancé in jail,
God, I'd be a basket case.

I am a basket case.
Believe me.

I just needed to talk to you
outside the office.

Yeah, sure, absolutely.
What's up?

Here.

I'm going to take the case.

What...
Bobby's case?

No. No, you're not
taking the case.

We are not taking the case.
It's a possible conflict of

- interest, and you know that.
- We'll win.

How do you know
we'll win, Laney?

Because you always
outwork your opponent,

or because he's your fiancé?

Because I know he didn't
kill Alderman Sutton.

- Laney...
- Remember when you were first

trying to convince me to leave
the State's Attorney's Office

to come and work with you?
You said I could make as

big a difference
in private practice.

- Yes, I remember but...
- Well this is one

of those cases, okay?
There's an innocent man

accused of murder, and
we can do something about it!

No, Laney.
'You' know he's innocent.

You do.
Nobody else does.

And that is why it's so
dangerous for you to take your

own fiancé's murder case.

How much does this have
to do with the fact that

your name's on the door too?

I beg your pardon?
If you're implying that

I have got something to lose
by this - like my reputation -

you're right.
We all have. You do.

Well, losing your reputation
is a little bit different

than being innocent
and losing your life.

man accused is innocent.

I have the killer.

So does my head.

You know I'm never wrong

Oh, Laney, no.
No, no, no, no.

You're way too smart for that.

Send it over to Chad Duban
or Sally Grunwald.

I'm the right person for
this case and you know it.

Why, because you're
engaged to him?

Because I believe in him.

And because I know
how to beat you.

Laney, I taught
you better than this.

You taught me to
follow my instincts.

It's not too late
for you to salvage things.

How?
By distancing myself?

Is that what you'd do?

At approximately 3:00 p.m.
on Sunday afternoon

the Chicago police took a
suspect into custody for the

murder of Alderman Adam Sutton.

Robert Genaro, a prominent
local businessman, is currently

being held without bail and
will likely be bound over to

a grand jury later this week
to face charges on both

Murder and Drug Trafficking.

We now have evidence
that Alderman Sutton was

investigating Mr. Genaro's
company for drug trafficking

at the time of his death.

Detective Farrow and I
will now take questions.

Just so I'm clear,
you were saying Sutton

was investigating Genaro?

It appears so.

Alderman Sutton had served
for many years with the Chicago

Narcotics Task Force, and had
often taken it upon himself

to use the resources
of his office to investigate

drug trafficking
and corruption cases.

Some of you may remember
the Norman Hopkins

heroin trafficking case
from a few years ago.

Alderman Sutton's diligence
proved instrumental in helping

my office secure
numerous convictions.

Is it true
that Laney Henessy will be

representing her fiancé,
and if so, how will that

impact the case proceedings?

I'll have to let
Ms. Henessy comment on that,

but I will say that
she's a dear friend,

and a capable attorney.

I know she's going through
a difficult time right now.

Given her relationship
with Robert Genaro, many are

calling his murder arrest
the end of her potential run

for State's Attorney
against you next spring.

Do you agree?

♪ ♪

♪ ♪

Ms. Henessy,
why did you take your

own fiancé's murder case?

Isn't it a conflict?
Any comment, Ms. Henessy.

I see that the State
has secured an indictment.

That was quick.

Yes, Your Honor.
One count of Murder in the

First Degree and another of
Felony Drug Trafficking.

How does the Defendant plead?

Not guilty, Your Honor.

And since my client is obviously
a well respected member of the

Chicago community and poses
absolutely no flight risk,

I request that
he be granted bail.

We have a brutal,
premeditated murder,

executed with icy precision.

Who's to say Mr. Genaro
won't run to save himself?

He could live very comfortably
in another country with the

assets he owns around the world.

The individual he wants to
keep incarcerated employs

roughly 1,000 people.
He sits on the boards of three

charitable foundations, and
donated 3 million dollars

this spring toward the
construction of a shelter

for abused women and children.

He's also a
cold-blooded murderer who could

have financed all of these
things with drug money.

Mr. Sutton was going to take
away his livelihood and he

murdered him to prevent
that from happening.

With all due respect
to the State's Attorney,

the last I looked, our legal
system was based on the

presumption of innocence,
not guilt.

He's not entitled to presume
anything at this point.

He hasn't proven a single thing.

Ms. Henessy, the
prosecution has a murder

weapon, drugs and a very
plausible motive for your

client to have killed
Alderman Sutton.

I'm inclined to deny bail.

State of Illinois
vs. Gordon, 1981.

The Illinois Supreme Court
reversed a murder conviction

after it was found that a
procedural error was made by

the State's Attorney after
securing his indictment.

This compromised the
defendant's bail hearing

which, in turn, prejudiced
the entire trial.

And...?

Mr. O'Brien did not serve
the indictments on me in

writing within hours of them
being handed down as he was

required to by Penal Code 36-D.

My office called her instead.

She's trying to keep a murderer
out of jail on a technicality.

Perhaps, but I don't
like being reversed on appeal.

I'm setting bond at 2 million
dollars with the conditions

that the defendant not leave
Cook County and that he

surrender his passport.

stolen weeks before the murder.

- May I come in?
- Sure.

I know you're
a busy man, Officer Hope,

so I'll get right to
why you're here.

Do we have permission
to record your statement?

Yes.

When did someone
first contact you about

fabricing a police report?

It was June second, the
day after Sutton was murdered,

although I didn't know
it had happened yet.

I got a call at work.

The person on the other end
asked me if I'd like to make

$25,000... and said that
the first $10,000 was

already deposited in my account.

Of course, I thought it was
either a joke or a scam

so I hung up.

But that afternoon, I noticed
that $10,000 had been put

- into my checking account.
- Really.

My dad had surgery last year.

And he's still really sick
and my mom can't afford

his hospital bills so... I just
started thinking, you know?

I know how idiotic
this must sound, but...

I'm not here to judge you.

The person called
me back that night.

He told me to file a
police report that said

a .22 automatic had been stolen
from Robert Genaro's Escalade

three weeks before.

I didn't know why
and never asked.

I just did it.

When did you change
your mind about the case?

After I found out Sutton
got killed and I saw who

the suspect was, I put two and
two together and got rid of it.

Then this week I heard
Detective Farrow was asking

everyone if they knew anything.
So I knew it was time

to tell him what happened.

You have to admit, it's kinda
convenient to have me

- out of the race.
- Before you go off

you should know that we found

someone who is going to
finger Genaro for the drugs.

- Who?
- A man named Renfro.

He's worked security for
Genaro for eleven years.

A family man.
No arrests, not even

a speeding ticket.
He came to me three days ago,

and said he'd do anything for
Genaro, but he can't hide

what he knows...
not anymore.

And what does he claim?

He's seen the drugs coming
and going... for over a year.

He even confronted
Genaro a few months ago.

The good boss that he is,
he gave him a 25 percent

raise and set up a
college fund for his sons.

We've go the pay stubs
both before and after.

Giving his employees
merit raises, was hardly novel.

I mean they loved him for it.
It even kept the unions

- off his back.
- Renfro is going to tell

what he know in front
of a jury under oath.

He has nothing to gain.

Maybe it's time you asked
Genaro some hard questions.

Think over my offer.

There was someone else
in the room with

Sutton that night.

And the evidence
to support this?

It's in the police report.

DNA evidence...
hair follicles in the bedsheet

- belonging to a blonde woman.
- I've read it.

It means nothing.

The follicles could have
belonged to a previous guest.

Or to a call girl from
'Angel Touch Escort Services'.

Proof?

Sutton used his credit card
to purchase the services of

a call girl from 'Angel Touch'
the night he was murdered.

That only proves
he had a secret life.

Most men are apt
to be unfaithful.

It's in our genes.

She was used as a decoy
to lure him to his death.

- Conjecture.
- Conspiracy.

I'll walk you out.

You see Rourke is part owner
of 'Angel Touch' in Chicago.

Jack Rourke owns many
businesses in the city.

I think Rourke is
responsible for Sutton's murder.

Well, you lack two basic
fundamentals - motive and proof.

Sutton was exposing Rourke's
drug trafficking activities.

And the pesky little 'P' word?

I'll get the proof,

Those photographs
prove that someone was

blackmailing Mr. Sutton.
Someone else had motive

- for this murder.
- This is just

a cheap trick that counsel
is performing to try and

- get a continuance.
- A continuance I should

- have been granted.
- Have you forgetten, counsel,

who has the authority to grant
continuances in this courtroom?

- Your Honor, I...
- This is a trial for

first degree murder,
not for blackmail!

We'll have a ten
minute recess while I take

the defense's evidence
under advisement.

15 years, no parole.

How about Manslaughter One,
five years.

- What's going on?
- I finally put

the pieces together!
I still can't believe it!

- What are you talking about?
- Rourke and O'Brien

- are in this together.
- In on what, Laney?

Rourke's been trafficking
drugs through his

shipping company.
Sutton got wind and

began investigating.
He found evidence linking

Rourke to O'Brien.

Are you accusing the
State's Attorney of

- criminal activity?
- O'Brien offered Rourke

protection from anyone who
threatened him... Sutton.

And in return, Rourke
has been funding O'Brien's

- political campaign.
- Laney, that's crazy.

That's just the
beginning, though.

When Sutton turned up the heat,
Rourke and O'Brien came up

with the perfect solution -
blackmail.

It turns out Sutton likes
kinky sex, and Rourke has

- the photographs to prove it.
- Blackmail.

- Okay, but why kill him?
- Because it didn't work.

Sutton came clean.
Told his wife everything.

He was going to go to the
police... and that's when

- he met an angel.
- What do you mean?

An angel as in 'Angel Touch
Escort Services' as in

one of Rourke's companies.
He set Sutton up to be

murdered and then
tried to pin it on Robert.

He's been killing everyone
who got in his way!

Okay, okay, so they got to
Hope, but what about Renfro?

How does he fit in?

They paid him off.

His wife has cancer.
She's been getting cutting

edge cancer treatments
from the Mayo Clinic.

And you know what?
I checked,

his insurance doesn't cover it.

Bravo. Bravo.

I'm impressed.

I have to admit,
amazing work, even for you.

I can't believe
I used to look up to you.

You're nothing but
a common criminal.

I'm definitely not common.
If I'm a criminal,

I'm in good company

You're such a hypocrite.

Me?
Now Sutton, there's a hypocrite.

Buying sex off the same streets
he's campaigning to clean up.

Now, one can't be too
careful... you're a smart girl.

Do you know how many
lives you've ruined

for the sake of your own greed?

Lust, greed, lies,
deception... it's the

way of the world.
Those of us who are naive

pretend that we're pure and
noble, and end up poor.

Others decide to make peace
with this fact of life

and end up rich.

You know what your problem is?

You're a romantic.
It's your fatal flaw.

I may be a romantic,

but I'm no fool.

That remains to be seen.

You know what to do.
