1
00:02:00,037 --> 00:02:03,040
Tier Four. First bed.
Come on, move it.
2
00:02:17,221 --> 00:02:19,765
Fear will kill you.
3
00:02:20,057 --> 00:02:22,434
I'm not afraid.
4
00:02:22,726 --> 00:02:25,146
Good. Right after chapel.
5
00:02:26,689 --> 00:02:28,607
It's goin' down in the yard.
6
00:04:34,817 --> 00:04:36,944
Not in here, motherfucker!
7
00:05:33,292 --> 00:05:35,586
Get on the ground!
Facedown! Don't move!
8
00:05:38,422 --> 00:05:40,632
You, get down!
Facedown!
9
00:05:41,967 --> 00:05:43,844
Put that head down!
Put that head down!
10
00:05:44,136 --> 00:05:46,221
Give me your arm!
11
00:05:46,513 --> 00:05:48,515
Don't move, buddy!
Don't move!
12
00:05:50,684 --> 00:05:52,186
Come on, move it.
Move it!
13
00:05:52,478 --> 00:05:53,979
Just stay down!
14
00:06:29,139 --> 00:06:31,016
Keep the change.
15
00:06:50,953 --> 00:06:53,353
Hi. I'm looking for the courtroom
where Mr. Edward J. Dodd...
16
00:06:53,414 --> 00:06:55,124
is defending a Mr. Nevins.
17
00:06:55,416 --> 00:06:57,793
That's the Edward J. Dodd.
18
00:06:59,169 --> 00:07:03,215
Part 73, room 1113.
The room 1113.
19
00:07:12,599 --> 00:07:16,687
...negotiated both to purchase
and to sell this dangerous drug.
20
00:07:16,979 --> 00:07:19,690
In a moment, you will hear
from counsel for the defense.
21
00:07:21,150 --> 00:07:25,654
As the People rest this case,
I leave you with this word of warning.
22
00:07:25,946 --> 00:07:29,408
Edward Dodd is an inventive lawyer.
23
00:07:29,700 --> 00:07:31,785
I'm sure he'd like you to believe...
24
00:07:32,077 --> 00:07:34,788
that the pound of pure cocaine
found in his client's apartment...
25
00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:37,875
was intended
for personal, recreational use.
26
00:07:38,834 --> 00:07:42,087
But just bear in mind,
only you can insure...
27
00:07:42,379 --> 00:07:44,298
that the defendant, who is...
let's be honest...
28
00:07:44,590 --> 00:07:48,427
a vermin, a vulture...
that he will pay a penalty.
29
00:07:48,719 --> 00:07:50,762
Thank you.
30
00:07:51,054 --> 00:07:54,725
Thank you, Miss Jessum.
Mr. Sweeny, may I have a word with you?
31
00:07:57,352 --> 00:07:59,897
Roger Baron. Hi.
Sorry I'm late.
32
00:08:00,939 --> 00:08:03,650
It's such an honor
and a thrill to meet you.
33
00:08:04,443 --> 00:08:05,611
Really?
34
00:08:12,743 --> 00:08:15,746
So, what are you accused of?
35
00:08:16,038 --> 00:08:18,332
All sorts of things.
How about you?
36
00:08:18,624 --> 00:08:20,959
No, I'm a lawyer.
I just...
37
00:08:21,251 --> 00:08:25,172
I got into town today.
I'm working with Mr. Dodd.
38
00:08:26,632 --> 00:08:29,801
Mr. Dodd, would you care
to make your closing argument?
39
00:08:30,093 --> 00:08:33,096
- You're in good hands with this guy.
- I would, Your Honor.
40
00:08:40,562 --> 00:08:43,273
Cocaine...
41
00:08:43,565 --> 00:08:45,275
is evil.
42
00:08:45,567 --> 00:08:48,862
Selling cocaine is evil.
43
00:08:49,154 --> 00:08:51,532
Dislike this wicked merchant,
if you will.
44
00:08:53,575 --> 00:08:55,869
Loathe him, if you must.
45
00:08:56,161 --> 00:08:57,579
I do!
46
00:09:00,666 --> 00:09:04,461
But despise the tactics the police
employed to snare Brian Nevins...
47
00:09:04,753 --> 00:09:06,922
because we mustn't lose sight...
48
00:09:07,214 --> 00:09:09,550
of what this trial
is really about:
49
00:09:09,841 --> 00:09:12,886
our most basic personal freedoms.
50
00:09:13,178 --> 00:09:15,538
For when we condone the bugging
of our citizens' bedrooms...
51
00:09:15,764 --> 00:09:19,184
when we allow the police to enter
our homes without warrants...
52
00:09:19,476 --> 00:09:21,603
or with specious warrants,
at best...
53
00:09:21,895 --> 00:09:24,856
when we invade our citizens' privacy
in a frenzied quest...
54
00:09:25,148 --> 00:09:27,317
for a wicked white powder,
aren't we, in fact...
55
00:09:27,609 --> 00:09:29,611
capitulating to the evil?
56
00:09:29,903 --> 00:09:33,323
Aren't we surrendering to the drug?
57
00:09:33,615 --> 00:09:36,410
Aren't we saying that cocaine
is more powerful...
58
00:09:36,702 --> 00:09:40,038
than the Constitution
of the United States of America?
59
00:09:41,290 --> 00:09:44,668
Wow! What a speech.
It was beautiful.
60
00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:48,005
- Amazing horse shit.
- Amazing client.
61
00:09:50,173 --> 00:09:51,675
Eddie Dodd.
62
00:09:54,469 --> 00:09:55,679
Everybody should own one.
63
00:10:05,022 --> 00:10:07,662
Sorry about the mix-up back there.
I never actually saw your photo.
64
00:10:07,774 --> 00:10:09,961
- I read every civil liberties brief...
- It was nice meeting you.
65
00:10:09,985 --> 00:10:12,821
- I gotta get back to the office.
- you ever filed in the '60s.
66
00:10:15,907 --> 00:10:19,244
Roger Baron.
Overland undergrad, Michigan Law.
67
00:10:19,536 --> 00:10:23,040
None of this rings a bell?
You hired me to clerk for you.
68
00:10:23,332 --> 00:10:26,668
Remember my letter? "Top 5%, Harvard
Law Review, salary is no object"?
69
00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:28,879
Oh, that's right. Yeah.
70
00:10:29,171 --> 00:10:31,131
- Let me help you with some of that.
- Thanks.
71
00:10:31,423 --> 00:10:33,342
Here, I got it.
72
00:10:34,426 --> 00:10:36,303
- You comin'?
- Yeah.
73
00:10:36,595 --> 00:10:39,806
I was a sixth-year law student
when I read...
74
00:10:40,098 --> 00:10:41,978
your "Chase Manhattan Bombing"
case summation...
75
00:10:42,267 --> 00:10:44,227
in a '71 leftist law anthology.
76
00:10:44,519 --> 00:10:47,898
I know this sounds dorky,
but it kind of changed my life.
77
00:10:51,568 --> 00:10:54,946
- So, this is Greenwich Village, huh?
- Yes, Roger, you've arrived.
78
00:11:01,995 --> 00:11:04,414
Anyway, I got a hold
of a trial transcript.
79
00:11:04,706 --> 00:11:07,918
Your cross-examination of the cops
was like an indictment of the system.
80
00:11:08,210 --> 00:11:09,930
You were my age
when you defended that case.
81
00:11:10,212 --> 00:11:12,255
I was never your age.
Billy, this is Reggie.
82
00:11:12,547 --> 00:11:14,507
He's our new social conscience
on Sheridan Square.
83
00:11:14,716 --> 00:11:16,968
What about my court date?
What if we plead insanity?
84
00:11:17,260 --> 00:11:20,055
Both of us?
Okay, princess, you're next.
85
00:11:20,347 --> 00:11:23,183
- Billy, what is this thing?
- It's a sculpture.
86
00:11:26,645 --> 00:11:29,398
Now, what kind of pills
were you busted with?
87
00:11:29,690 --> 00:11:31,942
Mr. Dodd needs to know.
88
00:11:34,319 --> 00:11:36,113
Is that an upper or a downer?
89
00:12:06,810 --> 00:12:09,229
Gabe! I'll take care of it.
Just park it on the bench.
90
00:12:09,521 --> 00:12:12,232
Park your ass on the bench and wait!
Gabe, you got a minute?
91
00:12:12,524 --> 00:12:14,794
I had a minute before the hearing,
but couldn't get you on the phone.
92
00:12:14,818 --> 00:12:18,488
I had reason to believe the judge had
heard of a concept called "entrapment."
93
00:12:18,780 --> 00:12:20,740
Gruner was busted with
three pounds of methedrine.
94
00:12:20,866 --> 00:12:22,784
Judge refused to exclude
the evidence. No deal.
95
00:12:23,076 --> 00:12:25,412
I'm deeply disturbed about
Detective Cedar's conduct.
96
00:12:25,704 --> 00:12:28,104
I may demand an investigation.
Can you imagine the headlines?
97
00:12:28,165 --> 00:12:29,541
I imagine the headlines,
I drool.
98
00:12:29,833 --> 00:12:32,627
"Undercover Cop Busts
East Village Speed Factory."
99
00:12:32,919 --> 00:12:35,839
Eddie, you're out of step.
Detective Cedar's a hero.
100
00:12:36,131 --> 00:12:37,466
He's a scumbag.
101
00:12:38,508 --> 00:12:41,094
Detective Cedar went undercover, huh?
So did Judas.
102
00:12:41,386 --> 00:12:44,639
Detective Cedar used his wiles
to insinuate himself...
103
00:12:44,931 --> 00:12:48,101
into the bosom of Clyde Gruner's life,
his home, his loved ones.
104
00:12:48,393 --> 00:12:49,553
Can't I take a simple piss...
105
00:12:49,728 --> 00:12:52,105
Detective Cedar broke bread
with Clyde Gruner.
106
00:12:52,397 --> 00:12:54,191
He was a guest
at Clyde Gruner's wedding.
107
00:12:54,483 --> 00:12:58,487
And, yes, Gabe, Detective Cedar
used drugs with my client.
108
00:12:58,779 --> 00:13:00,989
Not once, but many times.
109
00:13:01,281 --> 00:13:05,118
- You're gonna drag out that crap?
- Only if I have to.
110
00:13:06,536 --> 00:13:08,622
Be a mensch.
111
00:13:13,627 --> 00:13:15,307
Brian Nevins stopped by.
It's on your desk.
112
00:13:15,504 --> 00:13:16,880
Good.
113
00:13:18,173 --> 00:13:20,467
We pleaded out Clyde Gruner
to five years' probation.
114
00:13:20,759 --> 00:13:23,303
Score another point
for truth and justice.
115
00:13:26,223 --> 00:13:29,976
The last struggle for constitutional
rights is being waged over drugs.
116
00:13:30,268 --> 00:13:32,437
And we...
117
00:13:32,729 --> 00:13:35,482
are in the ring, Roger,
doing battle with Big Brother.
118
00:13:44,324 --> 00:13:46,243
Where are you goin'?
119
00:14:04,803 --> 00:14:06,680
Edward Dodd, please.
120
00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:18,400
I'm Roger Baron, Mr. Dodd's assistant.
May I help you?
121
00:14:18,692 --> 00:14:20,569
Mrs. Kim needs a lawyer.
122
00:14:20,861 --> 00:14:23,280
Her son killed a man
in self-defense in prison.
123
00:14:28,827 --> 00:14:30,871
He didn't belong there
in the first place.
124
00:14:31,162 --> 00:14:34,749
Eight years in jail
for the murder he didn't commit.
125
00:14:35,041 --> 00:14:36,835
I'm her neighbor's daughter.
126
00:14:37,127 --> 00:14:39,838
- Please, come in.
- Hi, I'm Eddie Dodd. What's up?
127
00:14:42,299 --> 00:14:45,385
Her son didn't shoot anybody.
He's the wrong guy.
128
00:14:47,178 --> 00:14:48,847
You meet him.
129
00:14:49,139 --> 00:14:52,017
You see he wouldn't go around
stabbing guys just for fun.
130
00:14:53,643 --> 00:14:55,562
This guy really shot a guy
and stabbed a guy?
131
00:14:55,854 --> 00:14:58,854
He didn't shoot anyone. Eight years
in jail for the murder he didn't commit.
132
00:15:00,066 --> 00:15:01,943
He's a good boy.
133
00:15:02,235 --> 00:15:04,863
And he comes from a fine home
in Seoul, Korea.
134
00:15:05,155 --> 00:15:06,531
- Shu Kai Kim.
- Shu Kai Kim?
135
00:15:06,823 --> 00:15:08,658
That's his name, Shu Kai Kim.
136
00:15:12,162 --> 00:15:14,581
I bet he is a wonderful boy.
137
00:15:17,083 --> 00:15:19,753
I mean, I...
I can't take this case.
138
00:15:24,215 --> 00:15:26,635
I have a specialty.
139
00:15:26,927 --> 00:15:28,803
Lawyers specialize.
140
00:15:31,222 --> 00:15:34,267
These days, I mostly do, like,
drug... narc...
141
00:15:35,352 --> 00:15:37,228
Anyway, I couldn't
even go see your son...
142
00:15:37,520 --> 00:15:39,440
without having a look
at the files from his case.
143
00:15:39,564 --> 00:15:42,651
So it's really out of the question...
Those are the files. Great.
144
00:15:46,529 --> 00:15:48,448
How did you hear about me, anyway?
145
00:15:50,116 --> 00:15:52,285
She went to all the court-houses.
146
00:15:53,495 --> 00:15:55,872
They all speak of you,
and they all say the same thing.
147
00:15:56,164 --> 00:15:58,959
Oh, wow.
What do they say?
148
00:16:03,004 --> 00:16:04,589
You do cases cheap.
149
00:16:13,932 --> 00:16:16,393
My associate and I
will review this material...
150
00:16:16,685 --> 00:16:19,688
as soon as possible,
and we will get back to you.
151
00:16:19,980 --> 00:16:22,941
In the meantime, I wanna thank
you ladies very much for stopping by.
152
00:16:23,233 --> 00:16:24,442
Thank you.
153
00:16:24,734 --> 00:16:26,194
Thank you for helping my son.
154
00:16:36,538 --> 00:16:38,498
Talk about a hard sell.
155
00:16:38,790 --> 00:16:41,501
"Thank you for helping my son."
156
00:16:41,793 --> 00:16:43,962
Attila the Hun had a mother, okay?
157
00:16:59,477 --> 00:17:00,729
Hit?
158
00:17:05,025 --> 00:17:08,403
That was close, huh? Almost
defended somebody who wasn't a dealer.
159
00:17:08,695 --> 00:17:10,947
Who knows?
He might even have been innocent.
160
00:17:11,239 --> 00:17:13,324
We have a full caseload.
Don't start.
161
00:17:13,616 --> 00:17:15,616
You're right. I forgot.
We're pledged to protect...
162
00:17:15,869 --> 00:17:17,789
every mid-level drug dealer
in the tristate area.
163
00:17:17,912 --> 00:17:19,956
It's an awesome responsibility.
164
00:17:20,248 --> 00:17:24,502
I don't venerate drug dealers.
To the contrary.
165
00:17:25,712 --> 00:17:27,672
- Of course.
- What we're attempting to do here...
166
00:17:27,797 --> 00:17:30,109
is check the government's attempt
to abridge our civil liberties...
167
00:17:30,133 --> 00:17:31,634
I know that.
168
00:17:31,926 --> 00:17:35,055
through informants, eavesdropping,
unreasonable searches and seizures...
169
00:17:35,346 --> 00:17:36,514
Right. You're right.
170
00:17:36,806 --> 00:17:38,558
Damn right I'm right.
Okay?
171
00:17:38,850 --> 00:17:42,729
It's just that I left behind
family and friends...
172
00:17:43,021 --> 00:17:45,940
and a couple good job offers
in Chicago.
173
00:17:46,232 --> 00:17:49,235
And in three dizzying weeks,
I've helped to acquit a coke dealer...
174
00:17:49,527 --> 00:17:51,988
- a speed dealer...
- I specialize, Roger.
175
00:17:52,280 --> 00:17:54,280
- an angel dust dealer...
- I'm not a kid any more.
176
00:17:54,449 --> 00:17:55,742
a speed manufacturer!
177
00:17:56,034 --> 00:17:58,828
So get a job on Wall Street.
I'm sure your rich daddy can arrange it.
178
00:17:59,120 --> 00:18:02,957
Look, don't tell me where to work.
I came here to work for Edward Dodd.
179
00:18:03,249 --> 00:18:05,969
But I just can't believe that
Edward Dodd has nothing better to do...
180
00:18:06,252 --> 00:18:09,923
than invoke exalted legal issues
to get off guilty little pricks.
181
00:18:15,929 --> 00:18:18,556
You wanna be
a criminal defense attorney?
182
00:18:18,848 --> 00:18:21,226
Then know this going in.
183
00:18:22,310 --> 00:18:24,646
Everybody's guilty.
184
00:18:24,938 --> 00:18:26,648
Everybody.
185
00:18:36,533 --> 00:18:38,535
You wouldn't have said that
ten years ago.
186
00:18:38,827 --> 00:18:40,829
Ten years is a long time.
187
00:18:45,458 --> 00:18:47,335
I'm tired, man.
I'll see you in the morning.
188
00:19:06,271 --> 00:19:07,939
A long time.
189
00:20:26,059 --> 00:20:28,019
- We're late. Let's get going.
- Where?
190
00:20:28,311 --> 00:20:30,396
Ossining Correctional Facility.
Sing Sing.
191
00:20:30,688 --> 00:20:33,107
Everybody's innocent there, man.
Just ask 'em.
192
00:20:34,609 --> 00:20:35,652
What was Kim in for?
193
00:20:35,944 --> 00:20:38,905
Killing a young Chinese gang leader
named Jimmy Chin.
194
00:20:39,197 --> 00:20:41,317
Prosecution said he did it
to get into a rival gang...
195
00:20:41,532 --> 00:20:43,159
the Pell Street Dragons.
196
00:20:43,451 --> 00:20:45,745
Kim admitted the gun was his.
He got 25 to life.
197
00:21:39,882 --> 00:21:41,050
Thank you, Officer.
198
00:21:45,930 --> 00:21:49,892
Mr. Kim, my name's Eddie Dodd.
I'm a lawyer.
199
00:21:50,184 --> 00:21:52,812
This is Roger Baron, my associate.
He's also a lawyer.
200
00:21:54,439 --> 00:21:57,483
- My mother find you?
- That's right.
201
00:21:57,775 --> 00:21:59,861
Figures.
202
00:22:00,153 --> 00:22:02,113
You wanna tell me exactly
what went down here?
203
00:22:03,573 --> 00:22:05,533
Racist pig came at me.
204
00:22:05,825 --> 00:22:07,368
Exactly what happened then?
205
00:22:09,037 --> 00:22:10,371
I killed the motherfucker.
206
00:22:12,123 --> 00:22:15,084
Let's talk about what got you here
in the first place.
207
00:22:15,376 --> 00:22:16,919
Let's talk about Chinatown.
208
00:22:17,879 --> 00:22:21,341
The night Jimmy Chin was shot to death,
you were where?
209
00:22:21,632 --> 00:22:25,845
At the trial, you said you were
at your apartment that night, alone.
210
00:22:26,137 --> 00:22:27,555
Remember?
211
00:22:36,439 --> 00:22:39,442
It was eight years ago.
Long time.
212
00:22:46,657 --> 00:22:48,159
A real long time.
213
00:22:56,042 --> 00:22:57,835
God, I feel like I've been mugged.
214
00:22:58,127 --> 00:23:00,338
- That guy was so cold.
- He's a killer.
215
00:23:00,630 --> 00:23:03,341
What do we claim?
He stabbed the Nazi in self-defense?
216
00:23:03,633 --> 00:23:06,761
With knives taped to his hands?
We're taking the other case.
217
00:23:07,053 --> 00:23:09,305
- What other case?
- Chinatown, eight years ago.
218
00:23:09,597 --> 00:23:11,849
A gang leader gets wasted
in front of the tourists.
219
00:23:12,141 --> 00:23:14,435
The cops pressure the rival gang,
the Pell Street Dragons.
220
00:23:14,727 --> 00:23:17,814
They give up Shu Kai Kim, the kid
who's been trying to get in their gang.
221
00:23:18,106 --> 00:23:19,982
- You really think that's what happened?
- No.
222
00:23:20,274 --> 00:23:22,154
But it'll make one hell
of an opening statement.
223
00:23:22,360 --> 00:23:24,237
- Easy as that, huh?
- No, it's not easy.
224
00:23:24,529 --> 00:23:27,740
We gotta find some evidence that's been
buried to open this sucker up again.
225
00:23:28,032 --> 00:23:29,784
Christ, Eddie,
if the guy's really guilty...
226
00:23:30,076 --> 00:23:32,956
Only God and Shu know if he's guilty,
and neither one of them is talking.
227
00:23:33,079 --> 00:23:35,289
Besides, the guiltier he is,
the more he needs us.
228
00:23:35,581 --> 00:23:39,210
He's a victim. He deserves
to see the sun again, breathe the air.
229
00:23:39,502 --> 00:23:41,796
He's been in prison
too goddam long.
230
00:24:06,154 --> 00:24:08,573
Okay, come on.
Come on, man.
231
00:24:37,560 --> 00:24:40,771
So this was Shu back in '79.
Jesus.
232
00:24:42,648 --> 00:24:45,860
- It's the murder weapon.
- Alleged murder weapon.
233
00:24:46,152 --> 00:24:48,196
They found four of Shu's
fingerprints on it.
234
00:24:48,488 --> 00:24:50,865
When did you start moonlighting
for the DA? Put it down.
235
00:24:51,157 --> 00:24:53,659
God. I don't know about this.
236
00:24:55,620 --> 00:24:57,079
Neither do I.
237
00:24:59,665 --> 00:25:01,584
Wait, listen.
Thanks.
238
00:25:02,877 --> 00:25:04,754
"November 5, 1979.
239
00:25:06,297 --> 00:25:08,966
Cecil Skell
walked in the 5th Precinct.
240
00:25:09,258 --> 00:25:13,054
Said he witnessed Chin's shooting.
Saw suspect's picture in Post.
241
00:25:13,346 --> 00:25:15,264
Said Shu Kai Kim is wrong man."
242
00:25:17,141 --> 00:25:18,351
Cecil Skell?
243
00:25:18,643 --> 00:25:21,330
I didn't see his name on any
of the affidavits or the police reports.
244
00:25:21,354 --> 00:25:23,754
He wasn't on any witness lists.
How could they miss this guy?
245
00:25:25,775 --> 00:25:27,818
Also says he knows
who killed Kennedy.
246
00:25:29,028 --> 00:25:31,030
Keep lookin'.
Something will turn up.
247
00:25:39,622 --> 00:25:41,791
Boys, it's cleanup time.
248
00:25:42,083 --> 00:25:43,209
Jesus.
249
00:25:43,501 --> 00:25:45,461
Ten minutes, Tom, okay?
250
00:25:46,754 --> 00:25:48,506
Um, that DD-5.
251
00:25:48,798 --> 00:25:50,716
The one about the maniac who...
252
00:25:51,008 --> 00:25:53,594
Cecil Skell.
Find it.
253
00:26:04,897 --> 00:26:06,023
Hi, Kitty.
254
00:26:09,569 --> 00:26:11,946
Roger Baron, Kitty Greer.
Private investigator.
255
00:26:12,238 --> 00:26:15,074
Roger's my new associate.
Top of his class at Michigan Law.
256
00:26:15,366 --> 00:26:18,953
Eddie's "Chase Manhattan Bombing"
summation kind of change your life?
257
00:26:19,245 --> 00:26:22,331
- You told her about that?
- Yeah. So, what have you got?
258
00:26:22,623 --> 00:26:25,585
My skip-trace turned up
two Cecil Skells.
259
00:26:25,876 --> 00:26:29,255
One's in Butte, Montana. The other's
at Riverhead Veterans Psychiatric.
260
00:26:29,547 --> 00:26:32,842
- I take odds on Cecil two.
- What'd he do? Snitch off a dealer?
261
00:26:34,385 --> 00:26:37,263
- Murder witness.
- You're doing a murder case?
262
00:26:37,555 --> 00:26:40,433
It hasn't been that long.
263
00:26:40,725 --> 00:26:42,965
Cecil Skell's one of three eyewitnesses
who came forward.
264
00:26:43,102 --> 00:26:45,182
You gotta start looking
for the other two right away.
265
00:26:47,231 --> 00:26:49,525
- I'm not working on this case.
- Yes, you are.
266
00:26:49,817 --> 00:26:52,653
You boys have fun.
I have business back on Planet Earth.
267
00:26:52,945 --> 00:26:56,198
Let me guess. Some corporate VP
is banging his secretary over lunch...
268
00:26:56,490 --> 00:26:58,844
and you gotta focus your camera
and plug in your tape recorder.
269
00:26:58,868 --> 00:27:01,972
Beats getting paid in 20s by slime dogs
selling angel dust to high school kids.
270
00:27:01,996 --> 00:27:05,708
Where do you put your microphone to get
the most incriminating moans and sighs?
271
00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:08,000
You know, a law degree's
a terrible thing to waste.
272
00:27:08,127 --> 00:27:11,756
- Do your parents know you're here?
- You can't pick on him.
273
00:27:12,048 --> 00:27:14,508
You've just blown your chance
to participate in this case.
274
00:27:14,800 --> 00:27:17,553
- I'm sorry.
- I'm kicking myself right out of here.
275
00:27:20,556 --> 00:27:22,725
We got her.
276
00:27:37,990 --> 00:27:40,326
The head nurse said that...
277
00:27:40,618 --> 00:27:42,411
you guys needed to talk to me.
278
00:27:43,746 --> 00:27:45,289
Cecil?
279
00:27:52,129 --> 00:27:56,342
I'm Eddie Dodd. I'm a lawyer.
This is Roger Baron, also a lawyer.
280
00:27:56,634 --> 00:27:58,386
Why don't you sit down?
281
00:28:01,138 --> 00:28:04,183
Mr. Skell,
a young man named Jimmy Chin...
282
00:28:04,475 --> 00:28:06,936
was shot and killed
eight years ago in Chinatown.
283
00:28:07,228 --> 00:28:09,063
Do you remember talking
to the police?
284
00:28:09,355 --> 00:28:14,193
That guy that they arrested,
he was the wrong guy.
285
00:28:14,485 --> 00:28:16,487
Cecil, we wanna reopen this case.
286
00:28:16,779 --> 00:28:19,949
But we can't do it
without your testimony.
287
00:28:20,991 --> 00:28:24,161
I wanna use what you have
to say so badly.
288
00:28:24,453 --> 00:28:28,791
But I must add that I think
you're fucking full of shit, all right?
289
00:28:29,750 --> 00:28:32,878
I think what Eddie means to say is...
290
00:28:33,170 --> 00:28:35,256
No, no, no.
They got the wrong guy.
291
00:28:35,548 --> 00:28:38,426
I saw it.
The killer wasn't Chinese.
292
00:28:38,718 --> 00:28:41,178
Oh, come on.
Not Chinese.
293
00:28:41,470 --> 00:28:44,223
The Chinese have an energy field...
294
00:28:44,515 --> 00:28:47,768
that vibrates
at a particular frequency.
295
00:28:49,729 --> 00:28:52,148
Oh, right. Right.
296
00:28:53,399 --> 00:28:55,985
Cecil, what is all this
about the Kennedy assassination?
297
00:28:59,905 --> 00:29:03,576
You guys... you're from the company.
I should've known.
298
00:29:03,868 --> 00:29:05,244
What, CIA?
299
00:29:05,536 --> 00:29:08,998
- No, man, the telephone.
- What?
300
00:29:09,290 --> 00:29:12,084
I suppose you don't know that
the phone company killed Kennedy...
301
00:29:12,376 --> 00:29:16,297
because he was trying to break it up,
and they'll never let that happen.
302
00:29:16,589 --> 00:29:18,382
They control everything.
303
00:29:18,674 --> 00:29:20,551
What you say in the mouthpiece...
304
00:29:20,843 --> 00:29:23,929
is never exactly
what comes out the other end.
305
00:29:24,221 --> 00:29:26,307
The phone company
was broken up.
306
00:29:26,599 --> 00:29:28,350
And you believe that?
307
00:29:28,642 --> 00:29:32,188
The phone company broke up in 1981.
I can get a back issue of Business Week.
308
00:29:32,480 --> 00:29:35,024
Excuse me, fellas.
What, are you kidding?
309
00:29:51,749 --> 00:29:53,626
Are you what heroes are made of?
310
00:29:55,795 --> 00:29:58,005
I did two tours in 'Nam.
311
00:29:59,757 --> 00:30:03,344
Are you willing to testify
that the man you saw shoot Jimmy Chin...
312
00:30:03,636 --> 00:30:05,888
was not the man
the police arrested?
313
00:30:09,141 --> 00:30:11,310
They got the wrong guy.
314
00:30:11,602 --> 00:30:13,771
That's right.
315
00:30:14,063 --> 00:30:16,666
When the DA gets wind of this,
he's gonna send somebody out here...
316
00:30:16,690 --> 00:30:21,612
claiming to be a journalist or maybe
a phone company representative.
317
00:30:21,904 --> 00:30:25,199
He's gonna ask you
a lot of questions.
318
00:30:25,491 --> 00:30:27,743
You just be truthful.
319
00:30:28,035 --> 00:30:30,788
Okay? To all of us.
320
00:30:31,080 --> 00:30:33,749
I always tell the truth.
321
00:30:34,041 --> 00:30:36,752
That's why I'm here.
322
00:30:39,839 --> 00:30:41,999
Very good, Mr. Skell.
And you told the desk sergeant...
323
00:30:42,132 --> 00:30:44,844
you were certain that Shu Kai Kim
wasn't the killer.
324
00:30:45,135 --> 00:30:46,887
Is that right?
325
00:30:47,179 --> 00:30:49,014
It's important to give
a vocal response.
326
00:30:49,306 --> 00:30:52,685
- Yes, sir.
- You left your telephone number.
327
00:30:52,977 --> 00:30:56,564
Did the police attempt to phone you
or to follow up in any way?
328
00:30:58,816 --> 00:31:00,067
No, sir.
329
00:31:00,359 --> 00:31:03,612
- Thank you, Mr. Skell.
- Mr. Rabin, you may cross-examine.
330
00:31:03,904 --> 00:31:06,198
How long have you been
a patient at...
331
00:31:06,490 --> 00:31:09,450
Objection. The fact the witness is
a patient at any hospital is immaterial.
332
00:31:09,660 --> 00:31:11,036
Sustained.
333
00:31:11,328 --> 00:31:13,914
All right. How long have you resided
at the Riverhead...
334
00:31:14,206 --> 00:31:16,500
This is the same question
in sheep's clothing.
335
00:31:16,792 --> 00:31:20,421
Mr. Rabin, you're out of line.
Next question.
336
00:31:20,713 --> 00:31:22,548
Thank you.
337
00:31:22,840 --> 00:31:25,050
Mr. Skell.
338
00:31:25,342 --> 00:31:29,805
You're under oath to tell the truth,
Mr. Skell...
339
00:31:30,097 --> 00:31:32,224
and nothing but the truth.
340
00:31:32,516 --> 00:31:34,476
Who killed President John F. Kennedy?
341
00:31:34,768 --> 00:31:37,330
Objection. This witness is not
an expert in political assassinations.
342
00:31:37,354 --> 00:31:39,916
- The question relates to...
- He wasn't on the Warren Commission!
343
00:31:39,940 --> 00:31:42,610
Do you think he was on the grassy knoll
with a pair of binoculars?
344
00:31:42,902 --> 00:31:47,197
- I'd like to answer the question.
- We're talking about competency...
345
00:31:47,489 --> 00:31:51,827
Mr. Rabin has no right to ask
this question! Don't answer it!
346
00:31:57,416 --> 00:31:58,417
Lee...
347
00:32:00,753 --> 00:32:02,546
Harvey...
348
00:32:05,507 --> 00:32:06,634
Oswald.
349
00:32:09,053 --> 00:32:10,721
Never mind, Your Honor.
350
00:32:12,264 --> 00:32:14,141
Objection withdrawn, Your Honor.
351
00:32:19,480 --> 00:32:22,608
Shu, the judge has ordered a retrial
in the Chinatown murder case.
352
00:32:22,900 --> 00:32:25,740
If we can prove reasonable doubt
on your imprisonment eight years ago...
353
00:32:25,945 --> 00:32:29,073
we feel sure that the DA will drop
the charge in the prison knifing.
354
00:32:30,407 --> 00:32:33,661
- Do I have to be in the courtroom?
- There's probably not gonna be a trial.
355
00:32:33,953 --> 00:32:36,431
The State's not gonna wanna retry
an eight-year-old murder case.
356
00:32:36,455 --> 00:32:38,457
Neither are we.
357
00:32:38,749 --> 00:32:41,210
At the pretrial conference,
an offer will be made.
358
00:32:41,502 --> 00:32:45,089
Odds are we'll cut some kind of deal.
Maybe, just maybe...
359
00:32:45,381 --> 00:32:47,007
we'll get you out of here
much sooner.
360
00:32:47,299 --> 00:32:49,510
You've done enough time.
361
00:32:49,802 --> 00:32:53,263
Mr. Dodd would like to help you
in such a case, but...
362
00:32:53,555 --> 00:32:55,474
- Kitty.
- Hi, Billy.
363
00:32:55,766 --> 00:32:59,228
- What are you doing here?
- I'm not entirely sure.
364
00:32:59,520 --> 00:33:01,146
Oh, excuse me.
365
00:33:01,438 --> 00:33:03,524
The cops tell their experts,
"Don't sweat it.
366
00:33:03,816 --> 00:33:05,816
We got three people
who saw this guy fire the gun."
367
00:33:05,901 --> 00:33:07,781
Meanwhile, they're telling
their eyewitnesses...
368
00:33:07,945 --> 00:33:10,465
"Don't doubt your I.D. Our experts
can tie the suspect to the gun."
369
00:33:10,489 --> 00:33:12,324
- It's a game, Roger.
- Thanks a lot.
370
00:33:12,616 --> 00:33:14,284
What do you got?
371
00:33:14,576 --> 00:33:17,621
One of the prosecution's
three eyewitnesses passed away.
372
00:33:17,913 --> 00:33:19,790
- Another one moved to Canada.
- Same thing.
373
00:33:20,082 --> 00:33:22,209
They still have Laura Gayley,
the computer programmer.
374
00:33:22,501 --> 00:33:25,754
She was the closest one.
Like, 21 feet from the killer.
375
00:33:27,006 --> 00:33:29,008
Do you have to do that?
376
00:33:29,299 --> 00:33:32,761
- Do you?
- Have to? No.
377
00:33:34,471 --> 00:33:36,783
- Start lookin' into Shu's gang.
- The Pell Street Dragons?
378
00:33:36,807 --> 00:33:39,226
Yeah. Billy!
Yo, babe!
379
00:33:41,145 --> 00:33:43,313
See what rank did the hits
back in '79.
380
00:33:43,605 --> 00:33:46,085
Your extensive law enforcement contacts
should be of some help.
381
00:33:46,150 --> 00:33:48,694
I was never politically correct enough
for Comrade Dodd.
382
00:33:48,986 --> 00:33:51,864
Yeah, law offices
of Edward J. Dodd.
383
00:33:52,156 --> 00:33:55,325
Who? Sure.
Yeah, put him through.
384
00:33:59,455 --> 00:34:01,790
Yes, I can.
385
00:34:02,082 --> 00:34:03,876
Okay. Thank you.
386
00:34:08,088 --> 00:34:10,049
That was Robert Reynard.
387
00:34:10,340 --> 00:34:11,508
Robert Reynard?
388
00:34:11,800 --> 00:34:13,177
The Manhattan DA?
389
00:34:35,741 --> 00:34:38,535
- Excuse me. May I help you, sir?
- Robert Reynard, please.
390
00:34:38,827 --> 00:34:40,579
Would you like to check the coat, sir?
391
00:34:40,871 --> 00:34:43,749
- No, it's fine.
- Right this way.
392
00:34:44,041 --> 00:34:47,252
- What do we make? Lawyers.
- Do you think that's the root of it?
393
00:34:47,544 --> 00:34:49,505
It all boils down
to goods versus services.
394
00:34:51,507 --> 00:34:54,301
Excuse me, Mr. Reynard.
395
00:34:54,593 --> 00:34:55,844
Edward J. Dodd.
396
00:34:56,136 --> 00:34:58,972
Robert Reynard.
Thank you, George.
397
00:34:59,264 --> 00:35:02,351
Of course, you know Dean Rabin,
one of my assistant DAs.
398
00:35:02,643 --> 00:35:05,854
Dean generally handles
the nuisance cases, like the, uh...
399
00:35:06,146 --> 00:35:07,397
What's the man's name?
400
00:35:07,689 --> 00:35:09,942
- Sh...
- Shu Kai Kim.
401
00:35:10,234 --> 00:35:12,111
His name is Shu Kai Kim.
402
00:35:13,445 --> 00:35:15,531
You won't remember this,
but in '72...
403
00:35:15,823 --> 00:35:17,699
I was one of several
prosecutors assigned...
404
00:35:17,991 --> 00:35:19,993
to the police-Black Panther
shoot-out.
405
00:35:20,285 --> 00:35:24,331
You walked into court by yourself
and kicked our collective butt.
406
00:35:25,874 --> 00:35:28,034
- What have you been up to since then?
- This and that.
407
00:35:28,127 --> 00:35:31,255
My staff tells me
it's mostly been drug pushers.
408
00:35:31,547 --> 00:35:33,307
I said, "That can't be
the same Edward Dodd."
409
00:35:33,590 --> 00:35:36,426
It's in narcotics that the government
tramples on the 4th Amendment.
410
00:35:36,718 --> 00:35:41,056
Well, let's not drag
the Constitution into this.
411
00:35:41,348 --> 00:35:44,643
You used the testimony
of a paranoid schizophrenic...
412
00:35:44,935 --> 00:35:46,728
to overturn a murder conviction...
413
00:35:47,020 --> 00:35:48,900
that's withstood challenge
for over eight years.
414
00:35:49,189 --> 00:35:51,108
And until we get
the death penalty reinstated...
415
00:35:51,400 --> 00:35:53,902
we depend on our ability
to make long sentences stick.
416
00:35:54,194 --> 00:35:56,280
And the hell with my client's
civil rights?
417
00:35:56,572 --> 00:35:57,948
Your client...
418
00:35:58,240 --> 00:35:59,825
is guilty.
419
00:36:02,536 --> 00:36:05,747
I know a little something
about street gangs, Ed.
420
00:36:06,039 --> 00:36:08,239
Back in the '70s,
I spent years putting away kingpins...
421
00:36:08,375 --> 00:36:10,169
in a Colombian crime syndicate.
422
00:36:10,460 --> 00:36:14,423
If we can't protect this city
from incorrigible street assassins...
423
00:36:14,715 --> 00:36:16,717
then my office isn't worth a damn.
424
00:36:18,844 --> 00:36:21,138
What's on your wish list, Ed?
425
00:36:21,430 --> 00:36:24,141
Pleading Kim out to "man one"
in both homicides?
426
00:36:24,433 --> 00:36:26,935
- What are you looking for here?
- Sentences to run concurrent?
427
00:36:27,227 --> 00:36:29,688
- Fifteen to life, both counts.
- Fifteen is insulting.
428
00:36:29,980 --> 00:36:32,107
Friday's the drop-dead date
on the offer.
429
00:36:33,150 --> 00:36:34,943
Don't bullshit me,
okay, Mr. Reynard?
430
00:36:35,235 --> 00:36:37,155
You got witness problems,
you got proof problems.
431
00:36:37,279 --> 00:36:40,949
You're my only problem. What's it
gonna take to make you go away?
432
00:36:41,241 --> 00:36:44,121
Eight-and-a-third, both counts to run
concurrent, credit for time served.
433
00:36:44,244 --> 00:36:45,871
Yeah.
434
00:36:46,163 --> 00:36:48,540
And your man walks out next month.
435
00:36:48,832 --> 00:36:50,584
What are you doing?
You joking here?
436
00:36:50,876 --> 00:36:52,502
Joking?
437
00:36:52,794 --> 00:36:55,474
I never joke about waving a client's
Sixth Amendment right to trial.
438
00:36:55,547 --> 00:36:57,299
You're starting to piss me off.
439
00:36:59,009 --> 00:37:00,802
I'm sorry if I've ruined your day.
440
00:37:01,094 --> 00:37:03,931
My client's had
a tough eight years behind bars.
441
00:37:04,223 --> 00:37:06,850
Why don't you sleep on that?
Then make me an offer.
442
00:37:09,186 --> 00:37:11,355
After Friday, no deal.
443
00:37:19,154 --> 00:37:22,407
The Japanese shellac us
month after month...
444
00:37:22,699 --> 00:37:24,952
Excuse me.
445
00:37:32,125 --> 00:37:35,254
Len Davis, Daily News. Looks like
you've wriggled up Reynard's ass.
446
00:37:35,545 --> 00:37:37,339
Sorry, no comment.
447
00:37:38,924 --> 00:37:40,801
I'm not saying
it was a conspiracy exactly.
448
00:37:41,093 --> 00:37:42,853
Law enforcement is
too disorganized for that.
449
00:37:43,136 --> 00:37:46,139
I suspect sloth is the culprit.
Lassitude.
450
00:37:47,849 --> 00:37:49,577
"Edward J. Dodd,
retained to defend Mr. Kim...
451
00:37:49,601 --> 00:37:53,522
has disclosed that a witness
will corroborate Mr. Kim's alibi."
452
00:37:53,814 --> 00:37:55,574
- I embellished.
- "Dodd also reports that...
453
00:37:55,774 --> 00:37:58,360
- his team of private investigators...
- I embroidered.
454
00:37:58,652 --> 00:38:00,904
are actually close to naming
the man they believe...
455
00:38:01,196 --> 00:38:04,074
- actually killed Jimmy Chin."
- I lied.
456
00:38:04,366 --> 00:38:07,095
You should've used the one about Shu
being the bastard son of Mother Teresa.
457
00:38:07,119 --> 00:38:08,996
I actually like that.
458
00:38:11,623 --> 00:38:13,875
I'm tired.
I'm gonna go home and go to bed.
459
00:38:14,167 --> 00:38:16,878
- Thanks for the drinks, kids.
- Good night.
460
00:38:17,170 --> 00:38:19,298
Good night, Danny.
Thank you.
461
00:38:37,816 --> 00:38:39,735
Hey, bro.
462
00:38:41,778 --> 00:38:43,447
- Can you spare a quarter, man?
- Yeah.
463
00:38:45,532 --> 00:38:47,826
I'm real hungry, man.
464
00:39:01,423 --> 00:39:04,384
Gook lover!
Race traitor!
465
00:39:19,483 --> 00:39:21,693
Enemy of the Aryan people!
466
00:39:21,985 --> 00:39:25,072
Commie faggot!
Motherfucker!
467
00:39:25,364 --> 00:39:26,490
Jew!
468
00:39:26,782 --> 00:39:29,201
Only half.
469
00:39:29,493 --> 00:39:31,620
Aryan Army say:
470
00:39:31,912 --> 00:39:34,748
Chink go to trial, you die.
471
00:39:43,090 --> 00:39:45,759
Dodd, you take on a client
who wasted a Nazi in prison...
472
00:39:46,051 --> 00:39:48,387
you gotta expect the Nazis
are gonna come back at ya.
473
00:39:48,678 --> 00:39:50,055
Oh, Eddie deserved this?
474
00:39:50,347 --> 00:39:52,599
I guess rape victims
wanna be laid at gunpoint?
475
00:39:52,891 --> 00:39:54,351
Well, it's a fact of life.
476
00:39:54,643 --> 00:39:56,853
These folks just don't
spray swastikas on synagogues.
477
00:39:57,145 --> 00:39:58,897
They take care of their own.
478
00:40:00,440 --> 00:40:04,027
Those teardrop tattoos,
they're like notches on a gun.
479
00:40:04,319 --> 00:40:06,321
One for every enemy they kill.
480
00:40:22,129 --> 00:40:23,964
Listen, I'm...
481
00:40:24,256 --> 00:40:27,092
I think I'm gonna look
some more tomorrow.
482
00:40:27,384 --> 00:40:29,177
I'm seeing double here.
483
00:40:35,183 --> 00:40:37,436
- Ow! God!
- Sorry.
484
00:40:37,727 --> 00:40:40,147
His name's Chuckie Loeder.
Something's very weird.
485
00:40:40,439 --> 00:40:44,401
- You saw his mug shot?
- Those tears, they weren't real.
486
00:40:46,194 --> 00:40:50,740
I can't believe we're going to see
a bunch of Nazis at night.
487
00:40:51,032 --> 00:40:53,052
There's no one else to talk to.
The tattoos are phony.
488
00:40:53,076 --> 00:40:54,786
- So?
- So no upstanding member...
489
00:40:55,078 --> 00:40:56,955
of the Aryan Army
would paint them on.
490
00:40:57,247 --> 00:40:58,957
They take those tear-drops
very seriously.
491
00:40:59,249 --> 00:41:01,418
They're badges of honor,
of courage.
492
00:41:01,710 --> 00:41:05,172
Only their most vicious, sadistic,
cruel, killer elite get to wear them.
493
00:41:05,464 --> 00:41:07,382
I feel much better now.
494
00:41:09,509 --> 00:41:11,909
Clyde Gruner sold these guys
a pound of crystal meth at cost.
495
00:41:12,179 --> 00:41:14,431
I mean, we're Clyde's buddies.
496
00:41:46,796 --> 00:41:49,216
Hi. Is your daddy home?
497
00:42:14,282 --> 00:42:16,117
We're friends of Clyde Gruner.
498
00:42:17,118 --> 00:42:19,204
We know who you are.
You're the race traitor...
499
00:42:19,496 --> 00:42:21,414
who's defending the gook
that murdered Duane.
500
00:42:21,706 --> 00:42:24,876
- You got a lot of balls coming here.
- What the hell you want?
501
00:42:29,172 --> 00:42:31,716
I'm real sorry about Duane.
502
00:42:32,008 --> 00:42:35,011
I got jumped by a man earlier tonight.
He said he was Aryan Army.
503
00:42:35,303 --> 00:42:37,722
- His name's Chuckie Loeder.
- "Chuck" rhymes with "suck."
504
00:42:38,014 --> 00:42:39,391
Right.
505
00:42:39,683 --> 00:42:42,453
Chuckie Loeder's no longer a brother
in the resurrection of our nation.
506
00:42:42,477 --> 00:42:44,354
We expelled that faggot junkie
a year ago.
507
00:42:44,646 --> 00:42:47,416
- Do you know where he might be found?
- Hanging with his tongue out...
508
00:42:47,440 --> 00:42:50,485
and a sign around his neck that says,
"I betrayed my race..."
509
00:42:50,777 --> 00:42:53,822
along with the rest of society's scum
on the Great Day of the Rope."
510
00:42:57,367 --> 00:43:00,495
Prior to the Great Day of the Rope,
where can he be found?
511
00:43:00,787 --> 00:43:02,497
Mixing with mongrel races.
512
00:43:02,789 --> 00:43:05,875
Anything along the lines
of an address or a job?
513
00:43:06,167 --> 00:43:07,669
Art supplies, right?
514
00:43:12,924 --> 00:43:15,927
Now, get the fuck out of here.
515
00:43:16,219 --> 00:43:17,971
I wanna hear it real clear.
516
00:43:19,180 --> 00:43:21,683
Chuckie Loeder is not Aryan Army...
517
00:43:21,975 --> 00:43:24,227
and you guys aren't behind this,
is that right?
518
00:43:24,519 --> 00:43:27,897
If we were,
you wouldn't be standing here.
519
00:43:49,419 --> 00:43:51,338
We can go in now.
520
00:44:06,353 --> 00:44:07,646
Who did that to you?
521
00:44:07,937 --> 00:44:11,524
A soldier in the Aryan Army with
black tear-drops painted on his face.
522
00:44:11,816 --> 00:44:14,903
Painted? That wasn't
an Aryan soldier.
523
00:44:15,195 --> 00:44:18,448
Why would a guy do that?
Paint black teardrops on his face?
524
00:44:18,740 --> 00:44:21,534
I guess he wanted you to think
he was somebody he wasn't.
525
00:44:21,826 --> 00:44:24,871
- Why?
- Maybe because someone's afraid.
526
00:44:25,955 --> 00:44:28,208
- Afraid of what?
- I don't know.
527
00:44:28,500 --> 00:44:31,086
- The truth, maybe.
- The truth about what?
528
00:44:31,378 --> 00:44:34,297
About Chinatown.
What went down.
529
00:44:34,589 --> 00:44:37,258
What went down?
What happened in Chinatown?
530
00:44:37,550 --> 00:44:40,845
- You tell me.
- No, you tell me. Tell me.
531
00:44:41,137 --> 00:44:43,098
How could I tell you
what I don't know?
532
00:44:43,390 --> 00:44:45,409
You can't, so tell me what you do know.
Come on, say it.
533
00:44:45,433 --> 00:44:46,685
I don't know shit, man.
534
00:44:46,976 --> 00:44:49,646
Quit lying!
535
00:44:49,938 --> 00:44:54,609
I know that you're innocent,
even if you've forgotten.
536
00:44:57,946 --> 00:44:59,698
The DA's talking a deal.
537
00:44:59,989 --> 00:45:02,450
A little negotiating, I can get you
out of here in five years.
538
00:45:02,742 --> 00:45:04,577
- Five years?
- Maybe.
539
00:45:04,869 --> 00:45:07,580
With a little luck.
We take the deal, that's it.
540
00:45:07,872 --> 00:45:09,708
I don't find the guy
who did this to me.
541
00:45:09,999 --> 00:45:11,919
I don't go after the fuck
who put him up to it...
542
00:45:12,001 --> 00:45:14,295
the fuck who did the crime
and let you do the time.
543
00:45:14,587 --> 00:45:16,339
We take this deal, we walk away...
544
00:45:16,631 --> 00:45:18,508
never find out
what happened in Chinatown.
545
00:45:18,800 --> 00:45:22,929
Never get a shot at nailing
some guilty bastard's balls to the wall.
546
00:45:24,139 --> 00:45:25,139
No.
547
00:45:25,348 --> 00:45:29,185
"No" what?
I gotta hear you say it.
548
00:45:31,271 --> 00:45:33,273
Fuck the DA's deal.
549
00:45:56,588 --> 00:45:58,757
Jimmy Chin crossed north on Pell.
550
00:46:01,259 --> 00:46:03,887
At the last instant,
he must have sensed something...
551
00:46:05,180 --> 00:46:09,684
because he turned
and he was shot dead, right here.
552
00:46:13,772 --> 00:46:16,524
Laura Gayley stood
where you're standing right now.
553
00:46:16,816 --> 00:46:20,069
There was no telephone booth,
bus stop or stop sign in the way.
554
00:46:20,361 --> 00:46:22,655
Christ, she had a perfect view
of the killer's face.
555
00:46:22,947 --> 00:46:24,866
But she couldn't have, could she?
556
00:46:25,158 --> 00:46:26,910
Because she thinks she saw Shu.
557
00:46:27,202 --> 00:46:29,370
We know now she didn't see Shu.
558
00:46:29,662 --> 00:46:33,124
I'm stalking you.
I'm right behind you.
559
00:46:33,416 --> 00:46:37,337
There's a rage in the air. You can feel
the rage, like an electrical charge.
560
00:46:37,629 --> 00:46:39,714
You turn.
Time contracts...
561
00:46:40,006 --> 00:46:43,134
space explodes,
perceptions can't be trusted.
562
00:46:43,426 --> 00:46:44,969
As I pull out a loaded gun and...
563
00:46:45,720 --> 00:46:47,722
The guys in the field
will try to bullshit you...
564
00:46:48,014 --> 00:46:50,391
that comparison microscopy
is an exact science.
565
00:46:50,683 --> 00:46:53,686
Powder residue, grease stains,
skin fragments.
566
00:46:53,978 --> 00:46:56,523
It's all subject to interpretation.
You know what I'm saying?
567
00:46:56,815 --> 00:46:58,483
- Not exactly.
- I'm saying...
568
00:46:58,775 --> 00:47:00,527
we need to finesse a little,
we'll finesse.
569
00:47:00,819 --> 00:47:03,321
I told you, we don't need
to finesse this one.
570
00:47:03,613 --> 00:47:07,492
That's Shu's gun. Shu didn't
commit the crime. No finessing.
571
00:47:07,784 --> 00:47:10,578
Jesus! Jump back.
572
00:47:10,870 --> 00:47:13,590
You wanna hang out? I'll have something
preliminary in about an hour.
573
00:47:15,917 --> 00:47:19,045
My associate will wait. I got
some good news of my own to deliver.
574
00:47:29,931 --> 00:47:32,517
Excuse me.
Edward J. Dodd to see Mr. Reynard.
575
00:47:32,809 --> 00:47:34,477
Could you wait
just a moment, please?
576
00:47:34,769 --> 00:47:37,313
Uh, yes, I'm sorry,
but it's a matter of policy...
577
00:47:37,605 --> 00:47:39,765
that Mr. Reynard not attend
any political fund-raisers.
578
00:47:42,485 --> 00:47:45,196
Yes. Well, thank you.
579
00:47:49,576 --> 00:47:52,161
- Is he expecting you?
- This'll only take a minute.
580
00:47:52,453 --> 00:47:55,540
Well, I'm sorry. He's running
about an hour behind schedule.
581
00:47:55,832 --> 00:48:00,211
Just tell him Mr. Dodd and Mr. Kim
plan to proceed with trial.
582
00:48:08,678 --> 00:48:10,597
Did my girl
hear your message correctly?
583
00:48:10,889 --> 00:48:13,474
I guess so, or you wouldn't
be standing there. Am I right?
584
00:48:15,351 --> 00:48:17,478
Why did I think
I could deal reasonably...
585
00:48:17,770 --> 00:48:20,523
with a man who defends
coke pushers for free?
586
00:48:20,815 --> 00:48:22,984
Coke pushers pay cash.
587
00:48:23,276 --> 00:48:25,737
That subsidizes the pot
possession cases. They're free.
588
00:48:26,029 --> 00:48:29,741
But now you've strayed from
your area of expertise... dope...
589
00:48:30,033 --> 00:48:32,452
into street assassins.
590
00:48:32,744 --> 00:48:34,624
A subject of which
you are dangerously ignorant.
591
00:48:34,871 --> 00:48:36,873
Yeah, but I'm a quick study.
592
00:48:37,165 --> 00:48:40,043
I'll see your assistant DA,
Rabin, in court.
593
00:48:40,335 --> 00:48:41,419
No, Mr. Dodd.
594
00:48:42,879 --> 00:48:44,923
You'll see me in court.
595
00:48:45,214 --> 00:48:47,008
I'm prosecuting this case.
596
00:48:48,551 --> 00:48:51,679
Why am I surprised? Colombians,
Koreans. What's the difference?
597
00:48:51,971 --> 00:48:54,491
You've built your career on putting
non-Whites behind bars, haven't you?
598
00:48:54,515 --> 00:48:57,936
I'll prosecute anyone
who fucks up.
599
00:48:58,227 --> 00:49:00,855
And if that makes me look racist...
600
00:49:01,147 --> 00:49:03,274
it's a trade-off
that I'll live with, Ed.
601
00:49:03,566 --> 00:49:07,278
That's big of you, Bob.
602
00:49:07,570 --> 00:49:09,364
See you in court.
603
00:49:14,202 --> 00:49:17,121
You should've taken the deal.
604
00:49:19,499 --> 00:49:21,209
You're probably right.
605
00:49:25,588 --> 00:49:27,298
Thanks.
606
00:49:27,590 --> 00:49:30,385
That was the ballistics guy, Howard.
607
00:49:30,677 --> 00:49:33,517
His tests showed that Shu's gun
fired the bullet that killed Jimmy Chin.
608
00:49:33,805 --> 00:49:36,099
Well, Howard's
a fuckin' burn-out case.
609
00:49:36,391 --> 00:49:38,953
I wouldn't put him on the stand anyway.
Get more names from Billy.
610
00:49:38,977 --> 00:49:42,188
There's a sociology professor
at Columbia University.
611
00:49:42,480 --> 00:49:46,025
- He's an expert on street gangs.
- I talked to him.
612
00:49:46,317 --> 00:49:49,157
Apparently, doing a hit was the way
to get into the Pell Street Dragons.
613
00:49:49,195 --> 00:49:50,555
- Shit.
- There goes your theory...
614
00:49:50,780 --> 00:49:52,907
about them fingering Shu
instead of the trigger man.
615
00:49:53,199 --> 00:49:56,327
I like that theory. And since I'm not
putting Professor Twerp on the stand...
616
00:49:57,578 --> 00:49:59,890
and since I don't have another theory,
I'm gonna stick with it.
617
00:49:59,914 --> 00:50:03,835
I wouldn't need a goddam theory if you
could find that son of a bitch Loeder.
618
00:50:04,127 --> 00:50:08,423
I have phoned every art supply wholesale
and retailer in a 100-mile radius.
619
00:50:08,715 --> 00:50:11,592
- No one has heard of Chuckie Loeder.
- Here's a news flash.
620
00:50:11,884 --> 00:50:14,029
Maybe he's not calling himself
Chuckie Loeder these days.
621
00:50:14,053 --> 00:50:15,888
Maybe he's got an alias.
Biff Loeder.
622
00:50:16,180 --> 00:50:18,599
Can you guys just stop being
the prophets of doom?
623
00:50:18,891 --> 00:50:21,691
Every time I ask a question I get
an answer, but it's the wrong answer.
624
00:50:21,894 --> 00:50:24,647
You're on the bus or you're off the bus.
I can do this shit myself.
625
00:50:24,939 --> 00:50:26,399
That's not fair.
626
00:50:26,691 --> 00:50:30,069
We're all committed to the case.
We all believe it's a good fight.
627
00:50:34,240 --> 00:50:36,075
A good fight?
628
00:50:38,077 --> 00:50:40,455
You think I'm going into court
to make a fucking statement?
629
00:50:40,747 --> 00:50:44,208
You think Shu gives a shit
if we go down, but go down nobly?
630
00:50:44,500 --> 00:50:47,503
This is a man looking at
40 years of hard time!
631
00:50:47,795 --> 00:50:51,799
He could've had a deal and been out
in five, but he bet it all on me!
632
00:50:52,091 --> 00:50:54,886
Don't give me that liberal,
yuppie bullshit about a good fight.
633
00:50:55,178 --> 00:50:57,305
This isn't fucking Yale.
634
00:50:57,597 --> 00:50:59,724
A good fight is one you win!
635
00:51:04,103 --> 00:51:07,231
So you wanna bail out now, Eddie?
The door's over there.
636
00:51:11,986 --> 00:51:14,530
Kitty and I have work to do.
We're gonna be in court tomorrow.
637
00:51:30,755 --> 00:51:33,633
In the matter of
the People versus Shu Kai Kim...
638
00:51:33,925 --> 00:51:36,511
the Honorable Justice
Marcus Quealy presiding.
639
00:51:36,803 --> 00:51:38,221
All rise.
640
00:51:49,148 --> 00:51:50,942
Where's Eddie?
641
00:51:51,234 --> 00:51:54,070
He'll be here.
642
00:52:17,552 --> 00:52:21,764
You will hear the classic tale
of the immigrant in New York.
643
00:52:23,099 --> 00:52:26,769
It's the tale of a young Sicilian
in Little Italy...
644
00:52:27,061 --> 00:52:31,023
who slits a merchant's throat
as an entree into the Mafia.
645
00:52:31,315 --> 00:52:34,819
Or the Russian Jew
who reaches Brooklyn...
646
00:52:35,111 --> 00:52:38,656
and bludgeons a witness on behalf
of Murder, Incorporated.
647
00:52:38,948 --> 00:52:43,661
Shu Kai Kim is a part
of that ugly tradition.
648
00:52:45,496 --> 00:52:47,707
A stranger...
649
00:52:47,999 --> 00:52:50,543
Looking for his place
in a new world...
650
00:52:50,835 --> 00:52:54,589
would turn the American dream...
651
00:52:54,881 --> 00:52:57,133
into an American nightmare.
652
00:53:00,094 --> 00:53:02,889
Why did Mr. Kim...
653
00:53:03,181 --> 00:53:06,559
fire a bullet through the brain
of Jimmy Chin...
654
00:53:06,851 --> 00:53:08,769
a boy he never even knew?
655
00:53:13,191 --> 00:53:15,818
To get into a gang.
656
00:53:16,110 --> 00:53:19,322
Eight years ago,
gang war raged in Chinatown.
657
00:53:20,865 --> 00:53:22,950
No one felt safe.
658
00:53:23,242 --> 00:53:25,912
Tourism was down.
659
00:53:26,204 --> 00:53:29,415
Local businessmen pleaded
with the mayor.
660
00:53:29,707 --> 00:53:32,376
The mayor pressured
the police commissioner.
661
00:53:32,668 --> 00:53:34,879
And the police commissioner
told his men...
662
00:53:35,171 --> 00:53:40,176
"This time, arrest somebody."
663
00:53:42,678 --> 00:53:44,430
But whom?
664
00:53:44,722 --> 00:53:46,807
Well...
665
00:53:47,099 --> 00:53:49,852
the outsider, of course.
666
00:53:50,144 --> 00:53:52,480
The stranger.
667
00:53:52,772 --> 00:53:55,066
The immigrant.
668
00:53:55,358 --> 00:53:58,027
So what that he's not in a gang?
669
00:53:58,319 --> 00:54:00,404
So what that he's not even Chinese?
670
00:54:00,696 --> 00:54:03,449
I mean, who can tell
one Asian face from the next?
671
00:54:03,741 --> 00:54:07,495
So what that he didn't even
commit the crime?
672
00:54:07,787 --> 00:54:10,748
"This time, arrest somebody.
673
00:54:15,169 --> 00:54:18,005
Anybody."
674
00:54:19,340 --> 00:54:22,385
And so, Detective Montell, having
brought in Mr. Kim for booking...
675
00:54:22,677 --> 00:54:26,097
you arranged for a line-up
with six other Asian males.
676
00:54:26,389 --> 00:54:27,640
That's right.
677
00:54:27,932 --> 00:54:30,309
We brought in
six other Asian males...
678
00:54:30,601 --> 00:54:32,937
of the same approximate age...
679
00:54:33,229 --> 00:54:36,065
and had the eyewitnesses
view them from every angle.
680
00:54:39,110 --> 00:54:41,946
And the results of that lineup?
681
00:54:42,238 --> 00:54:45,199
All the eyewitnesses picked Kim.
682
00:54:45,491 --> 00:54:47,702
But isn't it true
the six other Asian males...
683
00:54:47,994 --> 00:54:50,746
were of the classic
Mongoloid type...
684
00:54:51,038 --> 00:54:54,542
whereas Shu Kai Kim has the distinctive
facial bone structure of a Korean?
685
00:54:54,834 --> 00:54:58,004
Objection. The witness is not
an expert in racial classification.
686
00:54:58,296 --> 00:55:00,214
Sustained.
687
00:55:02,341 --> 00:55:05,094
This banner headline appeared
in the Daily News...
688
00:55:05,386 --> 00:55:09,640
October 25, 1979,
one week before Jimmy Chin's murder.
689
00:55:09,932 --> 00:55:13,686
"Mayor Rips Police Commish.
690
00:55:13,978 --> 00:55:16,939
Fed Up With Chinatown Violence."
691
00:55:17,231 --> 00:55:21,861
You were aware of the pressure,
weren't you, Detective Montell?
692
00:55:22,153 --> 00:55:26,240
I'm sorry, Mr. Dodd,
but I read the Post.
693
00:55:33,456 --> 00:55:35,791
Detective Sklaroff...
694
00:55:36,083 --> 00:55:38,252
exactly what information
led you to arrest my client...
695
00:55:38,544 --> 00:55:40,921
just two and a half hours
after the shooting took place?
696
00:55:42,131 --> 00:55:43,531
We had a description
of the suspect.
697
00:55:43,716 --> 00:55:48,012
A description. Asian, male,
18 to 30, black hair, brown eyes.
698
00:55:48,304 --> 00:55:49,784
- That kind of thing?
- Argumentative.
699
00:55:49,930 --> 00:55:51,057
Overruled.
700
00:55:51,349 --> 00:55:52,641
We had intelligence.
701
00:55:52,933 --> 00:55:55,811
You had...
702
00:55:56,103 --> 00:55:57,521
intelligence.
703
00:56:00,691 --> 00:56:03,486
We had information bearing
on Mr. Kim's desire...
704
00:56:03,778 --> 00:56:05,738
to gain admission
into the Pell Street Dragons...
705
00:56:06,030 --> 00:56:07,865
by assassinating a member
of a rival gang.
706
00:56:08,157 --> 00:56:10,493
Didn't that information
come from the Dragons themselves?
707
00:56:10,785 --> 00:56:13,662
Didn't they, the Pell Street Dragons,
a Chinese gang...
708
00:56:13,954 --> 00:56:16,415
all but hand you Shu Kai Kim,
a Korean, a foreigner...
709
00:56:16,707 --> 00:56:19,001
Objection, Your Honor.
This isn't a cross-examination.
710
00:56:19,293 --> 00:56:23,464
It's Mr. Dodd's opening statement again,
and again it's pure fabrication.
711
00:56:23,756 --> 00:56:24,840
- Didn't they?
- Sustained.
712
00:56:27,051 --> 00:56:29,136
Please continue, Detective Sklaroff.
713
00:56:30,554 --> 00:56:33,516
We proceeded to the suspect's address
and discovered him there.
714
00:56:37,353 --> 00:56:40,189
While my partner restrained
and arrested Mr. Kim...
715
00:56:40,481 --> 00:56:43,859
I made a thorough search
of the premises...
716
00:56:46,904 --> 00:56:49,281
and recovered a. 38-calibre handgun.
717
00:56:50,658 --> 00:56:53,994
Isn't it unusual for a man who committed
a murder to bring the weapon home?
718
00:56:54,286 --> 00:56:56,539
- Calls for speculation.
- Sustained.
719
00:56:56,831 --> 00:56:59,551
- Are you implying I planted a gun?
- We'll let the jury decide that.
720
00:56:59,834 --> 00:57:03,129
Kim's prints were all over it.
He admitted it was his gun!
721
00:57:03,421 --> 00:57:09,176
The witness' answer is non-responsive.
I ask you to strike it from the record.
722
00:57:09,468 --> 00:57:14,890
You opened this line of questioning.
The testimony will remain in the record.
723
00:57:17,560 --> 00:57:20,938
- No more questions.
- You may step down, Detective Sklaroff.
724
00:57:27,403 --> 00:57:31,073
- I am dying out there.
- It's okay, Eddie.
725
00:57:31,532 --> 00:57:34,869
The People call
retired detective Vincent Dennehy.
726
00:57:43,669 --> 00:57:46,172
A fucking wheelchair?
727
00:57:47,756 --> 00:57:52,803
Detective Dennehy, you were the first
officer to arrive at the murder scene?
728
00:57:53,095 --> 00:57:56,640
Yes, sir,
I was the first one there.
729
00:57:57,808 --> 00:58:00,519
And what did you do then?
730
00:58:00,811 --> 00:58:04,064
I secured the scene,
rerouted traffic...
731
00:58:04,356 --> 00:58:06,817
and searched the area
for physical evidence.
732
00:58:07,109 --> 00:58:10,321
There was a lot of confusion
down there that night.
733
00:58:11,864 --> 00:58:14,658
After that, I questioned
all the eyewitnesses...
734
00:58:14,950 --> 00:58:17,328
who remained
at the murder site.
735
00:58:19,497 --> 00:58:23,375
At 10:30 p.m., I proceeded,
with the decedent's body...
736
00:58:23,667 --> 00:58:25,794
to the office
of the county coroner.
737
00:58:28,255 --> 00:58:32,009
I left the crime scene
about 10:30.
738
00:58:33,469 --> 00:58:36,055
Thank you.
No further questions.
739
00:58:37,223 --> 00:58:41,060
Detective, you reached the morgue
and delivered Jimmy Chin's body when?
740
00:58:53,030 --> 00:58:54,823
11:30.
741
00:58:55,115 --> 00:58:58,494
You expect us to believe
that from ten...
742
00:59:04,291 --> 00:59:07,294
from 10:10 to 11:30
that you had the time...
743
00:59:08,170 --> 00:59:11,465
- You okay?
- I get this pain.
744
00:59:23,519 --> 00:59:25,938
No more questions.
That's all right.
745
00:59:28,232 --> 00:59:33,279
Mr. Dodd has yet to successfully
challenge any testimony given so far.
746
00:59:33,571 --> 00:59:36,282
- A fucking wheelchair?
- I didn't put him in it; Reynard did.
747
00:59:36,574 --> 00:59:40,119
He had a spinal injury. All he needs
is a cane. It was in Kitty's report.
748
00:59:40,411 --> 00:59:43,330
I don't have the time to read
every single line in every report.
749
00:59:43,622 --> 00:59:46,292
I'm too busy getting my ass
pulverized in the courtroom.
750
00:59:46,584 --> 00:59:49,545
Meanwhile, my crackerjack investigator
cannot find the art supply store...
751
00:59:49,837 --> 00:59:51,046
where Chuckie Loeder works.
752
00:59:51,338 --> 00:59:53,338
I'd love to chat,
but I'm meeting a cop for drinks.
753
00:59:53,382 --> 00:59:57,094
He's bringing the Dragons'
1979 mug book.
754
00:59:57,386 --> 00:59:59,597
I need an expert witness
on the Dragons.
755
00:59:59,888 --> 01:00:02,057
Eddie, stick this up your ass.
756
01:00:06,645 --> 01:00:09,023
Tall order.
757
01:00:09,315 --> 01:00:13,402
- "Art's Supplies"
- "Everything for the plumber."
758
01:00:44,767 --> 01:00:46,935
- Is Art around?
- Is he expecting you?
759
01:00:47,227 --> 01:00:49,229
Yes, he is.
760
01:00:49,521 --> 01:00:52,149
I'm Maraquilla Esparza,
Art's wife.
761
01:00:52,441 --> 01:00:55,277
- Maraquilla. That's a lovely name.
- Thank you.
762
01:00:55,569 --> 01:00:58,423
- He's probably back in the factory?
- You're not supposed to go in there.
763
01:00:58,447 --> 01:01:02,951
Yeah, I know, but we called and said
we wanted to talk about that PVC tubing.
764
01:01:03,243 --> 01:01:06,705
- He just said to come back.
- We'll just be a minute.
765
01:01:11,585 --> 01:01:13,045
Excuse me.
766
01:01:13,337 --> 01:01:16,298
- Art Esparza. What can I do for you?
- Eddie Dodd. This is Roger Baron.
767
01:01:16,590 --> 01:01:19,677
- You can't come back here.
- We're lawyers, and we're renovating.
768
01:01:19,968 --> 01:01:23,472
- There's metal grinding, open flames.
- Roger, is this toilet me?
769
01:01:23,764 --> 01:01:28,143
- Something high-tech. The Lowboy.
- Do you have a demo of one of those?
770
01:01:28,435 --> 01:01:30,396
We're not a showroom.
771
01:01:30,688 --> 01:01:35,651
Isn't it healthier to sit lower on
a toilet so you can get your knees up?
772
01:01:35,943 --> 01:01:37,986
Makes a smooth move.
773
01:01:38,278 --> 01:01:39,738
Where's your friend?
774
01:02:06,140 --> 01:02:09,268
Loeder!
775
01:02:14,690 --> 01:02:16,775
I just wanna talk to you!
776
01:02:33,375 --> 01:02:36,044
Move, man, move!
777
01:03:04,531 --> 01:03:06,950
- Damn it!
- Get him off of me!
778
01:03:11,580 --> 01:03:12,831
- You all right?
- Damn it.
779
01:03:13,123 --> 01:03:16,752
It's all right, fellas. I got it.
It's cool. I'm sorry.
780
01:03:17,044 --> 01:03:21,590
Didn't I tell you not to come back here?
Come with me. Talk to me.
781
01:03:21,882 --> 01:03:24,551
Nice meetin' ya.
782
01:03:24,843 --> 01:03:26,386
I'm a lawyer.
783
01:03:26,678 --> 01:03:29,078
That gives you the right to run wild
in my place of business?
784
01:03:29,348 --> 01:03:32,059
Every man here has done
hard prison time.
785
01:03:32,351 --> 01:03:34,520
These people need to know
I can protect them.
786
01:03:34,812 --> 01:03:37,147
What gives you a perfect understanding
of "these people"?
787
01:03:37,439 --> 01:03:38,732
Five years in Attica.
788
01:03:39,024 --> 01:03:41,109
In the joint I met
a lot of cons I trusted...
789
01:03:41,401 --> 01:03:43,111
but I never met
a lawyer I trusted.
790
01:03:43,403 --> 01:03:47,449
Art's Supplies is founded on trust.
It's for ex-cons, not lawyers.
791
01:03:47,741 --> 01:03:50,994
Chuckie Loeder is a material witness
in a murder trial.
792
01:03:51,286 --> 01:03:53,330
I need to get him on the stand.
793
01:03:53,622 --> 01:03:56,083
If you'd been straight with me,
I could have helped you...
794
01:03:56,375 --> 01:03:58,460
but now you probably
scared him off for good.
795
01:03:58,752 --> 01:04:00,838
You're leaving now, aren't you?
796
01:04:03,131 --> 01:04:05,259
- You okay?
- Fine.
797
01:04:05,551 --> 01:04:09,012
I lost Chuckie and got a lecture from
the jailhouse saint of Long Island City.
798
01:04:09,304 --> 01:04:13,058
- Where the hell were you?
- 1050 Amsterdam Avenue.
799
01:04:13,350 --> 01:04:14,685
- What?
- Chuckie's address.
800
01:04:14,977 --> 01:04:17,312
I sneaked a peek
at the Rolodex.
801
01:04:17,604 --> 01:04:20,482
Sneaked a peek at the Rolodex,
Counsellor? Nice.
802
01:04:42,087 --> 01:04:44,756
Kitty, Chuckie Loeder's
most recent address...
803
01:04:45,048 --> 01:04:48,135
just happens to be
a hole in the ground.
804
01:04:48,427 --> 01:04:52,055
When they demolish a residential hotel,
the city has to relocate the tenants.
805
01:04:52,347 --> 01:04:54,600
The Housing Authority
will have records of...
806
01:04:54,892 --> 01:04:58,395
You taught me that? So why am I
wasting my breath? Get on it.
807
01:07:04,229 --> 01:07:07,274
I guess you found him
after all, didn't you?
808
01:07:10,569 --> 01:07:12,779
He had no family.
809
01:07:13,071 --> 01:07:16,074
I have to ID him.
810
01:07:16,366 --> 01:07:18,118
I'm his family.
811
01:07:29,004 --> 01:07:33,884
So, you won't be able
to use him now, will you?
812
01:07:34,176 --> 01:07:35,927
Eddie, let's go.
813
01:07:36,219 --> 01:07:38,305
It's goddam tragic, ain't it?
814
01:07:38,597 --> 01:07:40,849
Get out of here, Dodd!
815
01:07:47,272 --> 01:07:49,775
Chuckie Loeder was murdered.
It's simple.
816
01:07:50,067 --> 01:07:52,861
Chuckie Loeder OD'd.
He was a junkie.
817
01:07:53,153 --> 01:07:57,032
The coroner found
120 track marks on him.
818
01:07:57,324 --> 01:07:59,785
Isn't it possible Loeder
beat you up on his own...
819
01:08:00,077 --> 01:08:02,037
to get back in good
with the Aryans?
820
01:08:02,329 --> 01:08:03,663
Wrong!
821
01:08:03,955 --> 01:08:09,086
The last of the ballistics experts
says Shu's gun killed Jimmy Chin.
822
01:08:09,377 --> 01:08:11,505
That's why I hate experts.
823
01:08:11,797 --> 01:08:14,716
We have to go to Reynard
and cut a deal.
824
01:08:15,008 --> 01:08:18,804
I'm gonna fall on my knees and whimper
before that stooge of the ruling class?
825
01:08:19,096 --> 01:08:21,515
- Right.
- This isn't about you, it's about Shu.
826
01:08:21,807 --> 01:08:24,351
- If we can plead him out...
- We plead out guilty people!
827
01:08:24,643 --> 01:08:26,978
- Shu is innocent.
- Only Shu and God know that.
828
01:08:27,270 --> 01:08:30,440
I know that! How? Because Reynard says
he's guilty, and Reynard's full of shit!
829
01:08:30,732 --> 01:08:33,318
Look. That's not
the face of a killer.
830
01:08:34,319 --> 01:08:37,405
You're carrying that around
like it's a picture of your girlfriend.
831
01:08:37,697 --> 01:08:40,617
- Your heart'll break if this case folds.
- It's not gonna happen.
832
01:08:40,909 --> 01:08:43,620
Ballistics says it's Shu's gun.
All the facts...
833
01:08:43,912 --> 01:08:48,041
"All the facts."
I'm gonna put the facts on trial.
834
01:08:48,333 --> 01:08:51,378
Without Loeder,
we don't have a single witness.
835
01:08:51,670 --> 01:08:54,673
Then go find me one.
There's Chinatown.
836
01:08:56,258 --> 01:09:00,470
That's weird. I always pictured
the morgue being way uptown.
837
01:09:00,762 --> 01:09:04,057
And that is the fatal bullet
that was fired that night in Chinatown.
838
01:09:04,349 --> 01:09:06,059
Yes, sir.
839
01:09:07,727 --> 01:09:10,063
According to your analysis...
840
01:09:10,355 --> 01:09:13,608
can this bullet be linked
to Mr. Kim's weapon?
841
01:09:13,900 --> 01:09:19,447
Given that every gun barrel leaves a
distinct mark on the bullet it fires...
842
01:09:19,739 --> 01:09:24,327
we must conclude that this bullet was
fired by Mr. Kim's.38-calibre handgun.
843
01:09:24,619 --> 01:09:25,787
Thank you, sir.
844
01:09:26,079 --> 01:09:27,706
No more questions.
845
01:09:27,998 --> 01:09:31,459
Forensic ballistics...
846
01:09:31,751 --> 01:09:33,920
is not really
an exact science, is it?
847
01:09:34,212 --> 01:09:36,339
It most certainly is, Mr. Dodd.
848
01:09:36,631 --> 01:09:38,758
Like tarot cards or astrology
or something?
849
01:09:39,050 --> 01:09:44,055
Tarot cards and astrology are not
sciences. Ballistics is a science.
850
01:09:44,347 --> 01:09:47,517
- But it has a 10-15% margin of error.
- Absolutely not.
851
01:09:47,809 --> 01:09:50,270
- No more than seven percent.
- Seven percent.
852
01:09:50,562 --> 01:09:53,356
Out of every hundred cases,
based on your testimony...
853
01:09:53,648 --> 01:09:55,942
seven innocent men go to prison.
854
01:09:56,234 --> 01:09:57,694
Is that the idea?
855
01:09:58,778 --> 01:10:02,365
- Objection.
- Sustained.
856
01:10:02,657 --> 01:10:05,243
Withdrawn.
857
01:10:06,786 --> 01:10:11,124
Miss Gayley, please tell us exactly
what you remember seeing that evening.
858
01:10:11,416 --> 01:10:16,755
I don't think I'll ever forget it.
I was walking east on Pell Street.
859
01:10:17,964 --> 01:10:20,133
I had come from dinner
with friends...
860
01:10:20,425 --> 01:10:22,636
and I noticed a man
walk past me.
861
01:10:22,928 --> 01:10:29,392
He was walking very fast, and his hand
was shoved inside his jacket.
862
01:10:29,684 --> 01:10:31,895
Something told me to turn.
863
01:10:43,782 --> 01:10:46,576
The man whom you saw
murder Jimmy Chin...
864
01:10:46,868 --> 01:10:48,870
is he in this courtroom?
865
01:10:49,162 --> 01:10:52,082
That's him sitting over there.
866
01:10:52,374 --> 01:10:55,919
Let the record show that Miss Gayley
indicated Shu Kai Kim.
867
01:10:59,756 --> 01:11:02,133
Your witness, Mr. Dodd.
868
01:11:08,765 --> 01:11:11,268
I looked at these photo
and diagrams.
869
01:11:11,559 --> 01:11:14,312
I visited the murder scene,
heard your testimony.
870
01:11:14,604 --> 01:11:18,358
I look at the distance between us now
and keep coming to the same conclusion.
871
01:11:18,650 --> 01:11:23,571
I hate to say this... I don't understand
how you could've seen the killer's gun.
872
01:11:23,863 --> 01:11:27,617
- Does Mr. Dodd have a question?
- Yes. Did you see the gun?
873
01:11:27,909 --> 01:11:31,746
- Yes. I can describe it.
- Really?
874
01:11:32,038 --> 01:11:36,167
It was silver, with a stubby barrel.
Snub-nosed, I believe they call it.
875
01:11:36,459 --> 01:11:40,005
It was not an automatic.
It had one of those cylinders.
876
01:11:40,297 --> 01:11:42,882
After eight years,
how can you remember that?
877
01:11:43,174 --> 01:11:47,262
- I could see the hammer. It was cocked.
- How could you possibly remember this?
878
01:11:47,554 --> 01:11:51,558
- Because I never took my eyes off it.
- She never took her eyes off the gun.
879
01:11:51,850 --> 01:11:54,185
- Thank you.
- Not the entire time.
880
01:11:54,477 --> 01:11:56,313
No further questions.
881
01:11:56,604 --> 01:12:00,150
- Look, I would like to...
- No further questions. Thank you.
882
01:12:04,279 --> 01:12:06,781
You may step down, Miss Gayley.
883
01:12:15,999 --> 01:12:19,627
Your Honor, we wish to call a witness
whose name is not on the witness list.
884
01:12:19,919 --> 01:12:22,399
- Objection. This is trial by ambush.
- We just discovered him.
885
01:12:22,672 --> 01:12:25,312
He occupies the cell adjacent
to the defendant at Sing Sing Prison.
886
01:12:25,508 --> 01:12:27,927
This case has nothing to do
with events at Sing Sing Prison.
887
01:12:28,219 --> 01:12:33,058
Your Honor, I assure you the witness
has information specific to this case.
888
01:12:33,350 --> 01:12:37,520
Mr. Dodd, you will be granted time
to prepare your cross-examination.
889
01:12:37,812 --> 01:12:40,052
In the absence of substantial prejudice
to your client...
890
01:12:40,315 --> 01:12:42,650
I will permit
the witness to testify.
891
01:12:42,942 --> 01:12:44,235
With objection, Your Honor.
892
01:12:44,527 --> 01:12:47,030
- So noted.
- Thank you.
893
01:12:47,322 --> 01:12:51,576
As their final witness,
the People wish to call Richard Ortega.
894
01:12:54,662 --> 01:12:57,082
Who is Richard Ortega?
895
01:13:09,135 --> 01:13:12,639
Mr. Ortega,
what is La Fraternidad?
896
01:13:14,224 --> 01:13:16,976
A Cubano prison gang, basically.
897
01:13:18,269 --> 01:13:20,980
And its purpose?
898
01:13:21,272 --> 01:13:25,985
Fighting the Aryan Army
and the Black Avengers, basically.
899
01:13:26,277 --> 01:13:28,571
Fighting.
900
01:13:30,657 --> 01:13:32,409
For what?
901
01:13:32,700 --> 01:13:36,329
To live.
We protect our own.
902
01:13:38,706 --> 01:13:41,209
I understand.
903
01:13:41,501 --> 01:13:45,296
In the course of protecting your own,
is it often necessary to commit murder?
904
01:13:45,588 --> 01:13:48,716
Objection. The witness is being
asked to incriminate himself.
905
01:13:49,008 --> 01:13:52,846
The witness has been granted immunity
from prosecution for criminal acts...
906
01:13:53,138 --> 01:13:54,889
he may disclose
on the stand today.
907
01:13:55,181 --> 01:13:58,768
You must answer the question,
Mr. Ortega.
908
01:13:59,060 --> 01:14:04,482
Are members of La Fraternidad
ever called upon to commit murder?
909
01:14:04,774 --> 01:14:07,444
Yeah, sometimes.
910
01:14:07,735 --> 01:14:09,988
All right.
911
01:14:10,280 --> 01:14:12,574
Now...
912
01:14:12,866 --> 01:14:15,994
isn't Shu Kai Kim,
who is Asian...
913
01:14:16,286 --> 01:14:18,246
a member of La Fraternidad?
914
01:14:18,538 --> 01:14:21,916
- Objection. Irrelevant.
- Overruled. Answer the question.
915
01:14:22,208 --> 01:14:24,461
Yeah, Shu's a member.
916
01:14:25,587 --> 01:14:26,588
Why?
917
01:14:26,880 --> 01:14:30,341
Why was Shu Kai Kim
recruited by La Fraternidad?
918
01:14:30,633 --> 01:14:32,677
- I can't answer that.
- Your Honor...
919
01:14:32,969 --> 01:14:36,347
It's a secret matter within
the organization. I ain't no snitch.
920
01:14:36,639 --> 01:14:40,059
Mr. Ortega, you must answer
under threat of contempt.
921
01:14:40,351 --> 01:14:44,731
Why was Mr. Kim, an Asian,
recruited by a Cubano prison gang?
922
01:14:45,023 --> 01:14:47,650
- Fuck you.
- Mr. Ortega.
923
01:14:47,942 --> 01:14:52,071
I can sentence you to more years
than you've already served.
924
01:14:52,363 --> 01:14:55,950
I repeat: Why was Mr. Kim
recruited by La Fraternidad?
925
01:14:56,242 --> 01:14:57,994
- Chinatown.
- Chinatown?
926
01:14:59,329 --> 01:15:02,040
How do you know
what Mr. Kim did in Chinatown?
927
01:15:02,332 --> 01:15:05,126
Did Shu Kai Kim tell members
of La Fraternidad...
928
01:15:05,418 --> 01:15:07,253
that he murdered Jimmy Chin?
929
01:15:07,545 --> 01:15:09,839
Man, they got me
all fucked up here!
930
01:15:10,131 --> 01:15:13,134
Did Mr. Kim confess to you
that he killed Jimmy Chin?
931
01:15:13,426 --> 01:15:16,513
- He mentioned it!
- He mentioned it!
932
01:15:18,973 --> 01:15:21,893
Or did he, in fact,
boast about it...
933
01:15:22,185 --> 01:15:24,395
to any inmate who would listen?
934
01:15:25,396 --> 01:15:27,440
- Objection.
- Sustained.
935
01:15:29,025 --> 01:15:32,278
Withdrawn.
The People rest.
936
01:15:38,409 --> 01:15:42,956
Mr. Dodd, how much time will you
require to prepare your cross?
937
01:15:44,832 --> 01:15:47,710
Your Honor, we move that
the witness' testimony be stricken.
938
01:15:48,002 --> 01:15:50,463
He's obviously been manipulated
by the prosecution.
939
01:15:50,755 --> 01:15:53,758
Mr. Baron, you are not
the attorney of record here.
940
01:15:54,050 --> 01:15:57,845
Mr. Dodd,
do you wish to cross-examine?
941
01:15:58,137 --> 01:16:00,431
Ask for 72 hours, Eddie.
942
01:16:03,059 --> 01:16:06,729
Court is hereby adjourned
until 10:00 a.m. tomorrow.
943
01:16:32,255 --> 01:16:34,257
Listen to me. Eddie.
944
01:16:38,803 --> 01:16:41,014
Eddie, where are you going?
945
01:16:42,515 --> 01:16:45,393
Look, I heard Ortega
say that Shu confessed.
946
01:16:45,685 --> 01:16:47,854
I didn't see any evidence.
947
01:16:48,146 --> 01:16:51,316
We're gonna ask the judge
for a continuance of 48 hours...
948
01:16:51,608 --> 01:16:55,361
and we'll find an inmate who will
testify that Shu said he didn't do it!
949
01:16:55,653 --> 01:16:58,656
The guiltier he is,
the more he needs us.
950
01:16:58,948 --> 01:17:01,326
- You said that.
- Get lost.
951
01:17:25,600 --> 01:17:27,769
There was quite a bit
you didn't tell me.
952
01:17:28,061 --> 01:17:30,355
When I joined,
I took a oath of secrecy.
953
01:17:30,647 --> 01:17:32,607
I told you
what you needed to know.
954
01:17:32,899 --> 01:17:36,944
I didn't need to know you bragged about
killing Chin? What was that knifing?
955
01:17:37,236 --> 01:17:41,032
- Aryans cutting in on your crack trade?
- That was self-defense.
956
01:17:41,324 --> 01:17:44,535
Jimmy Chin.
Was that self-defense too? Huh?
957
01:17:54,754 --> 01:18:00,259
I'm sorry, it's just that for a while
I thought there was this, like...
958
01:18:00,551 --> 01:18:05,807
You'll laugh, but I thought we were two
sorry assholes who needed each other...
959
01:18:06,099 --> 01:18:08,393
who could help each other.
960
01:18:08,685 --> 01:18:11,688
- How could I help you?
- By trusting me.
961
01:18:11,979 --> 01:18:14,774
I got my face kicked in
because I trusted you.
962
01:18:15,066 --> 01:18:19,612
No expert would say it wasn't your gun
that killed Chin, but it didn't matter.
963
01:18:19,904 --> 01:18:22,907
I went up against the DA himself,
but I didn't care...
964
01:18:23,199 --> 01:18:26,077
because I trusted you,
because I believed in you...
965
01:18:26,369 --> 01:18:30,123
because I thought
there was a bond between us.
966
01:18:30,415 --> 01:18:32,667
You're out there
and I'm in here.
967
01:18:32,959 --> 01:18:35,586
My bond, my trust...
968
01:18:35,878 --> 01:18:38,297
is with the guys in here
that cover my back.
969
01:18:39,549 --> 01:18:42,468
When you leave this place,
you go out to dinner...
970
01:18:42,760 --> 01:18:45,138
see a movie, get laid.
971
01:18:45,430 --> 01:18:48,975
I'm going back to my cell
and wait to die.
972
01:18:50,518 --> 01:18:52,019
So you tell me...
973
01:18:52,311 --> 01:18:54,731
where is our bond?
974
01:18:55,815 --> 01:19:00,945
For a while we had this dream
we were innocent.
975
01:19:01,237 --> 01:19:03,489
That was our bond.
976
01:19:05,950 --> 01:19:08,369
Then we woke up.
977
01:19:09,787 --> 01:19:13,166
- I want to hear everything.
- What do you mean, "everything"?
978
01:19:13,458 --> 01:19:17,462
The truth.
Tell me about Chinatown, Shu.
979
01:19:17,754 --> 01:19:19,464
Tell me the truth.
980
01:19:21,799 --> 01:19:23,843
Just tell me the truth!
981
01:19:49,952 --> 01:19:51,662
Are you sleeping?
982
01:19:59,003 --> 01:20:03,257
You know, I haven't gotten stoned once
since this trial started.
983
01:20:03,549 --> 01:20:07,011
Come on in. We'll talk in the morning.
In the meantime, you can get some sleep.
984
01:20:07,303 --> 01:20:09,263
I don't need sleep.
985
01:20:09,555 --> 01:20:13,267
- Do you believe in luck, Kitty?
- Luck.
986
01:20:13,559 --> 01:20:16,062
No. Why?
987
01:20:16,354 --> 01:20:19,565
'Cause after ten years
of defending nothing but scumbags...
988
01:20:19,857 --> 01:20:24,111
this kid, this Roger,
came along out of nowhere.
989
01:20:24,403 --> 01:20:28,407
Suddenly I find myself
fighting to free an innocent man.
990
01:20:30,576 --> 01:20:33,704
An innocent man, Kitty.
991
01:20:33,996 --> 01:20:38,334
You don't find too many of those
in my line of work.
992
01:20:38,626 --> 01:20:41,212
For a minute, I thought...
993
01:20:44,090 --> 01:20:46,509
the kid brought me luck.
994
01:20:48,761 --> 01:20:50,847
And it felt good.
995
01:20:51,138 --> 01:20:53,224
Oh, it felt good.
996
01:20:54,642 --> 01:20:56,853
Yeah, well, my minute is up.
997
01:20:58,354 --> 01:21:01,357
Come on, Eddie. A guilty client's
not the end of the world.
998
01:21:01,649 --> 01:21:03,693
Exactly.
999
01:21:03,985 --> 01:21:05,862
It's a new beginning.
1000
01:21:06,153 --> 01:21:08,447
I'm going back
to defending scumbags.
1001
01:21:08,739 --> 01:21:11,158
Not just dope peddlers any more.
1002
01:21:11,450 --> 01:21:13,786
Porno merchants.
Child-molesters.
1003
01:21:14,078 --> 01:21:16,038
Repeat drunk drivers.
I'll get 'em all off.
1004
01:21:16,330 --> 01:21:19,792
Hit men. "Send Eddie Dodd
your contract killers."
1005
01:21:21,002 --> 01:21:23,754
None of 'em ever does time again.
1006
01:21:24,046 --> 01:21:27,633
Eddie, just go home.
Get some sleep.
1007
01:22:07,214 --> 01:22:11,218
- What do you want?
- Roger Baron. I work with Eddie Dodd.
1008
01:22:11,510 --> 01:22:13,971
Why were you at Shu's trial
this afternoon?
1009
01:22:14,263 --> 01:22:17,892
- What trial?
- I followed you from the courthouse.
1010
01:22:18,184 --> 01:22:20,186
Listen, I knew Jimmy Chin.
1011
01:22:20,478 --> 01:22:24,440
- You were concerned Shu would go free?
- That's right.
1012
01:22:24,732 --> 01:22:28,444
Now, did you have Chuckie Loeder
try to scare Eddie off the case?
1013
01:22:28,736 --> 01:22:32,239
- Why don't you ask Chuckie?
- He OD'd. He's dead.
1014
01:22:33,449 --> 01:22:35,242
Art didn't tell you?
1015
01:22:35,534 --> 01:22:37,411
- Look, mister...
- Roger.
1016
01:22:37,703 --> 01:22:41,123
You mustn't tell Art
you saw me at the trial.
1017
01:22:41,415 --> 01:22:44,377
You had a right to be there, especially
if you and Jimmy Chin were friends.
1018
01:22:44,669 --> 01:22:46,462
Friends?
1019
01:22:46,754 --> 01:22:50,591
Oh, my God.
You don't know anything.
1020
01:23:25,835 --> 01:23:29,130
Roger, go home.
Take a job on Wall Street.
1021
01:23:29,422 --> 01:23:31,465
- It wasn't a Chinatown gang hit.
- Yeah, right.
1022
01:23:31,757 --> 01:23:35,136
Eddie, Art Esparza's wife
and Jimmy Chin were lovers.
1023
01:23:35,428 --> 01:23:37,304
She just about told me.
1024
01:23:37,596 --> 01:23:40,891
Great. You phoned Art Esparza's wife?
What, are you nuts?
1025
01:23:41,183 --> 01:23:43,185
No, I followed her
from the courthouse.
1026
01:23:47,356 --> 01:23:49,817
Esparza's wife
was at Shu's trial?
1027
01:23:50,109 --> 01:23:52,653
Yeah, and she was scared
I'd tell Art.
1028
01:23:56,407 --> 01:23:58,409
Art Esparza.
1029
01:23:59,660 --> 01:24:02,204
What do we know about
that self-righteous son of a bitch?
1030
01:24:15,968 --> 01:24:18,971
- Dodd, you got 15 minutes.
- Right.
1031
01:24:21,307 --> 01:24:23,893
Check this out.
The man's a prince.
1032
01:24:24,185 --> 01:24:27,897
"Queens businessman honored for
his efforts to employ ex-convicts."
1033
01:24:28,189 --> 01:24:32,276
Security clearance for Esparza to go
into jails for parole board hearings.
1034
01:24:32,568 --> 01:24:35,279
Wonderful work this man does.
1035
01:24:35,571 --> 01:24:40,451
Skipping two years back... his real work.
He's being watched by Narco.
1036
01:24:40,743 --> 01:24:43,829
"Suspected of using his warehouse
as drug drop.
1037
01:24:44,121 --> 01:24:46,165
Surveillance terminated."
1038
01:24:49,502 --> 01:24:51,295
Going back four years.
1039
01:24:51,587 --> 01:24:56,383
"Arthur Esparza charged with assault.
Dismissed."
1040
01:24:56,675 --> 01:25:00,096
"Accessory to extortion.
Dismissed."
1041
01:25:00,387 --> 01:25:01,972
"Dismissed."
1042
01:25:03,599 --> 01:25:06,060
You get the feeling
this prick is protected?
1043
01:25:06,352 --> 01:25:08,354
I'm outta here.
You owe me one.
1044
01:25:08,646 --> 01:25:10,314
"Dismissed."
1045
01:25:11,899 --> 01:25:14,485
"Dismissed for lack of evidence."
1046
01:25:27,957 --> 01:25:29,667
Shit.
1047
01:25:35,464 --> 01:25:37,133
Jesus Christ.
1048
01:25:37,424 --> 01:25:38,884
What?
1049
01:25:40,553 --> 01:25:43,722
I've seen this picture before.
1050
01:25:54,108 --> 01:25:58,404
No wonder the eyewitnesses picked Shu.
They could've been brothers.
1051
01:25:58,696 --> 01:26:02,116
Esparza killed Jimmy Chin.
1052
01:26:05,161 --> 01:26:07,454
The killer wasn't Chinese.
Cecil Skell was right!
1053
01:26:07,746 --> 01:26:11,750
Everybody else was wrong.
The one fucking lunatic was right.
1054
01:26:12,042 --> 01:26:13,252
Come on.
1055
01:26:13,544 --> 01:26:16,005
Does this mean
the phone company killed Kennedy?
1056
01:26:18,299 --> 01:26:21,177
Shu's gun is an absolute match.
How could it be?
1057
01:26:21,468 --> 01:26:23,596
Not here, Roger.
1058
01:26:23,888 --> 01:26:25,681
Jesus!
1059
01:26:29,768 --> 01:26:33,439
At least we'd already be
at the morgue. Goddam.
1060
01:26:33,731 --> 01:26:36,859
We'll make
a citizen's arrest of Esparza.
1061
01:26:37,151 --> 01:26:40,404
But we'll need some backup. Who's the
meanest motherfucker you ever got off?
1062
01:26:40,696 --> 01:26:43,908
Just give me a name.
Any client who owns a Magnum.
1063
01:26:55,169 --> 01:26:57,338
The broken-down detective
in the wheelchair.
1064
01:26:57,630 --> 01:26:58,756
Dennehy.
1065
01:26:59,048 --> 01:27:02,301
He said he left Chinatown
with Jimmy Chin's body at 10:30.
1066
01:27:02,593 --> 01:27:06,388
And didn't reach the morgue for an hour.
That's why I thought it was way uptown.
1067
01:27:06,680 --> 01:27:09,266
- Fill in for me in court today.
- What?
1068
01:27:09,558 --> 01:27:11,769
I need you in court.
1069
01:27:29,995 --> 01:27:33,207
- Who the hell is it?
- Come on, open up.
1070
01:27:33,499 --> 01:27:35,793
Sorry to bother you
at this hour.
1071
01:27:36,085 --> 01:27:38,045
I'm Edward J. Dodd.
Are you Mrs. Dennehy?
1072
01:27:38,337 --> 01:27:40,214
I'm Ms. Dennehy,
Vin's sister.
1073
01:27:40,506 --> 01:27:44,385
- I have to talk to your brother.
- No! You gotta be crazy at this hour!
1074
01:27:44,677 --> 01:27:47,388
Can you step back from the door,
please?
1075
01:27:47,680 --> 01:27:48,931
Thank you.
1076
01:27:50,349 --> 01:27:52,184
- Where are you going?
- Stay.
1077
01:28:12,079 --> 01:28:13,914
Dennehy.
1078
01:28:15,582 --> 01:28:17,042
Do I know you?
1079
01:28:17,334 --> 01:28:19,837
I'm Eddie Dodd.
I cross-examined you.
1080
01:28:20,129 --> 01:28:22,923
But not very well.
1081
01:28:23,215 --> 01:28:25,426
What did you do
with Jimmy Chin's body?
1082
01:28:25,718 --> 01:28:27,845
Please, I need to sleep.
1083
01:28:28,137 --> 01:28:31,724
What did you do
with Jimmy Chin's body?
1084
01:28:32,016 --> 01:28:35,436
- I brought it to the coroner.
- An hour after you picked it up.
1085
01:28:35,728 --> 01:28:37,062
Yeah, an hour later.
1086
01:28:37,354 --> 01:28:40,190
From Chinatown, which is right
down the street from the morgue?
1087
01:28:40,482 --> 01:28:42,943
What did you do
with Jimmy Chin's body?
1088
01:28:43,235 --> 01:28:46,238
You're fishing.
You don't know shit.
1089
01:28:46,530 --> 01:28:49,116
I know about Art Esparza.
1090
01:28:49,408 --> 01:28:52,077
- It wasn't Vin's idea.
- Connie.
1091
01:28:52,369 --> 01:28:56,457
- Go to bed. This is official business.
- You were pressured. Tell the man.
1092
01:29:00,419 --> 01:29:03,797
- Go back to bed.
- Come on, talk to me.
1093
01:29:04,089 --> 01:29:05,758
Come on.
1094
01:29:09,386 --> 01:29:13,557
We thought it would work
if it was a through-and-through.
1095
01:29:13,849 --> 01:29:15,851
What's a "through-and-through"?
1096
01:29:16,143 --> 01:29:18,604
I got this chronic pain.
1097
01:29:18,896 --> 01:29:21,690
What is a "through-and-through"?
1098
01:29:21,982 --> 01:29:26,445
You know, eight years I been waitin'
for some genius to notice...
1099
01:29:26,737 --> 01:29:31,075
it took me an hour
to drive seven blocks.
1100
01:29:36,246 --> 01:29:39,792
I drove Chin's body
to the Manhattan Bridge.
1101
01:29:40,084 --> 01:29:42,836
Under the bridge.
1102
01:29:43,128 --> 01:29:48,008
Montell and Sklaroff were already there
with Shu Kai Kim's gun.
1103
01:29:50,344 --> 01:29:53,097
We only had three hours.
1104
01:29:53,389 --> 01:29:58,102
After that, with the body
cooling and clotting...
1105
01:29:58,394 --> 01:30:01,647
it wouldn't look right
to the pathologist.
1106
01:30:03,482 --> 01:30:10,280
Chin had been hit once in the forehead
by Esparza's. 32.
1107
01:30:10,572 --> 01:30:13,826
The bullet exited clean.
That's a through-and-through.
1108
01:30:15,994 --> 01:30:19,164
So, all Sklaroff
had to worry about was...
1109
01:30:21,125 --> 01:30:24,128
aiming Kim's. 38
at the same angle.
1110
01:30:35,597 --> 01:30:39,226
We pulled the bullet
out of the mattress...
1111
01:30:40,686 --> 01:30:42,604
and that was it.
1112
01:30:42,896 --> 01:30:44,606
An airtight case.
1113
01:30:44,898 --> 01:30:48,819
Why? All this
to protect Art Esparza? Why?
1114
01:30:50,446 --> 01:30:53,449
That nasty little bastard!
1115
01:30:53,740 --> 01:30:57,202
He steps in shit,
we gotta lick his boots clean.
1116
01:31:01,874 --> 01:31:03,292
He was your snitch.
1117
01:31:03,584 --> 01:31:05,711
The Colombian connection.
1118
01:31:06,003 --> 01:31:07,963
Colombian?
1119
01:31:08,255 --> 01:31:11,717
Three years
of ball-busting detective work.
1120
01:31:13,093 --> 01:31:16,346
We put a lot of bad guys in jail.
1121
01:31:16,638 --> 01:31:18,932
And one good guy.
1122
01:31:22,561 --> 01:31:26,940
Demerol? What is your problem, man?
You wanna die? Huh?
1123
01:31:27,232 --> 01:31:29,526
I am dead.
We're both dead.
1124
01:31:29,818 --> 01:31:32,946
Nobody dies
until I hear the truth.
1125
01:31:33,238 --> 01:31:36,492
Who put the frame on Shu?
1126
01:31:39,244 --> 01:31:41,455
Stay awake, Dennehy.
1127
01:31:42,247 --> 01:31:44,124
Shit.
1128
01:31:44,416 --> 01:31:48,170
Come on, talk to me, man.
I didn't say snort. I said talk.
1129
01:31:48,462 --> 01:31:51,006
- I need you to live.
- Where are we going?
1130
01:31:51,298 --> 01:31:53,383
We're going to the hospital.
1131
01:31:55,093 --> 01:31:56,845
Oh, shit.
1132
01:31:58,138 --> 01:32:00,891
Why did you have to come here,
you hippie-dippie fuck?
1133
01:32:01,183 --> 01:32:03,936
Vinnie's really sick.
He needs a hospital.
1134
01:32:04,228 --> 01:32:06,605
That makes two of you.
1135
01:32:08,190 --> 01:32:09,816
Move it!
1136
01:32:19,743 --> 01:32:22,079
- Stand up!
- Goddam it, Art!
1137
01:32:23,539 --> 01:32:25,707
- Get back in the car!
- Just give me...
1138
01:32:25,999 --> 01:32:28,293
Get back in the fucking car!
1139
01:32:29,962 --> 01:32:31,922
I'm warning you, man!
1140
01:32:32,214 --> 01:32:34,466
What did you tell the lawyer?
1141
01:32:35,801 --> 01:32:38,762
- Lou?
- I'm right here, Vin.
1142
01:32:39,054 --> 01:32:40,556
So's Dave.
1143
01:32:40,847 --> 01:32:44,309
But we need to know
what you told the lawyer.
1144
01:32:47,104 --> 01:32:49,147
I came clean.
1145
01:32:59,408 --> 01:33:01,451
Vinnie told him everything.
1146
01:33:01,743 --> 01:33:06,290
- You shot a corpse. I don't give a shit.
- Let's snuff this low-life.
1147
01:33:06,582 --> 01:33:09,918
The fact you popped Jimmy Chin in public
proves it wasn't premeditated.
1148
01:33:10,210 --> 01:33:11,837
The jury will sympathize.
1149
01:33:12,129 --> 01:33:15,382
- Dude was banging your wife, right?
- Shut your... Get off me!
1150
01:33:15,674 --> 01:33:17,342
Cool it!
1151
01:33:17,634 --> 01:33:20,137
- You're dead.
- Yeah, that makes sense.
1152
01:33:20,429 --> 01:33:23,349
Kill me in the middle of a trial.
Wouldn't be clean, though, like Chuckie.
1153
01:33:23,557 --> 01:33:26,476
What, did you treat him
to a match head of pure smack?
1154
01:33:26,768 --> 01:33:30,188
- That's right. I'm a generous guy.
- Who'd you waste now, Art?
1155
01:33:31,064 --> 01:33:36,028
- Goddam you.
- Do it, Lou, so we can go home.
1156
01:33:36,320 --> 01:33:38,280
Still letting your snitch
run you?
1157
01:33:38,572 --> 01:33:39,990
Lou, we have to.
1158
01:33:41,283 --> 01:33:44,286
Waste him.
The man will take care of it.
1159
01:33:44,578 --> 01:33:47,623
- He's right.
- Come on.
1160
01:33:47,914 --> 01:33:50,542
- Come on.
- Do it, you pussy!
1161
01:33:51,960 --> 01:33:54,087
All right,
I'll blow the scumbag away.
1162
01:34:04,640 --> 01:34:07,059
I should've done that
eight years ago.
1163
01:34:20,322 --> 01:34:21,657
You see that?
1164
01:34:24,451 --> 01:34:27,120
You wanna be like that? Huh?
1165
01:34:28,538 --> 01:34:30,707
You gonna keep
your mouth shut?
1166
01:34:30,999 --> 01:34:34,419
- We can't trust him.
- Are you gonna keep quiet?
1167
01:34:37,255 --> 01:34:40,342
- I can't.
- Shoot him, for Christ's sake!
1168
01:34:40,634 --> 01:34:42,928
I can't do it, Lou.
1169
01:34:46,973 --> 01:34:50,143
That's the motherfucker
that shot Jimmy Chin!
1170
01:34:51,228 --> 01:34:52,771
It's justice!
1171
01:34:53,063 --> 01:34:56,858
I got a client in prison eight years.
Where's the justice in that?
1172
01:34:58,819 --> 01:35:01,613
My guy's gotta walk.
1173
01:35:01,905 --> 01:35:05,033
I can't keep my mouth shut.
I can't.
1174
01:35:06,993 --> 01:35:08,161
It's over.
1175
01:35:09,788 --> 01:35:11,915
Your lies...
1176
01:35:12,207 --> 01:35:16,002
my lies, all the bullshit.
1177
01:35:16,294 --> 01:35:17,879
It's enough.
1178
01:35:20,132 --> 01:35:22,467
You sorry bastard.
1179
01:35:24,428 --> 01:35:26,680
Yeah, I'm sorry.
1180
01:35:36,857 --> 01:35:38,775
I gotta go now.
1181
01:35:40,193 --> 01:35:42,112
I gotta be in court.
1182
01:35:48,535 --> 01:35:50,328
Freeze!
1183
01:35:58,086 --> 01:35:59,629
Freeze!
1184
01:36:01,882 --> 01:36:03,508
Where is Mr. Dodd?
1185
01:36:03,800 --> 01:36:06,720
Your Honor, if I may.
1186
01:36:09,514 --> 01:36:13,059
I don't know where Mr. Dodd is,
but if he does not appear in due time...
1187
01:36:13,351 --> 01:36:16,730
I am ready to proceed
on Mr. Kim's behalf.
1188
01:36:17,022 --> 01:36:20,984
- I don't find this amusing, Mr. Baron.
- Neither do I, Your Honor.
1189
01:36:23,695 --> 01:36:25,781
Good morning, Mr. Dodd.
1190
01:36:26,072 --> 01:36:30,410
You think you might be up to
presenting your case this morning?
1191
01:36:30,702 --> 01:36:33,830
You looked pretty good up there.
1192
01:36:34,122 --> 01:36:35,791
Your Honor...
1193
01:36:38,043 --> 01:36:41,755
I suppose I could find
some inmate at Sing Sing...
1194
01:36:42,047 --> 01:36:43,965
who would say that Shu boasted...
1195
01:36:44,257 --> 01:36:46,426
about killing Jimmy Chin
to survive in prison...
1196
01:36:46,718 --> 01:36:48,970
though he didn't really do it.
1197
01:36:49,262 --> 01:36:51,062
But would we be any closer
to understanding...
1198
01:36:51,306 --> 01:36:53,975
what really happened
in Chinatown eight years ago?
1199
01:36:54,267 --> 01:36:55,685
You have no witnesses?
1200
01:36:55,977 --> 01:36:59,147
If it please the court,
the defense calls...
1201
01:36:59,439 --> 01:37:00,816
Mr. Robert Reynard.
1202
01:37:05,237 --> 01:37:08,323
I would ask opposing counsel
to make an offer of proof...
1203
01:37:08,615 --> 01:37:11,493
that this is anything more
than a desperate tactic.
1204
01:37:11,785 --> 01:37:13,912
Will you both
approach the bench, please?
1205
01:37:18,708 --> 01:37:21,002
As a prominent assistant DA
at the time...
1206
01:37:21,294 --> 01:37:25,298
he had knowledge of external pressures
that led to my client's arrest.
1207
01:37:25,590 --> 01:37:28,760
More nonsense about pressure
from the mayor's office.
1208
01:37:29,052 --> 01:37:32,222
A man's freedom is at stake here.
1209
01:37:32,514 --> 01:37:36,726
I urge you to give me
the benefit of the doubt. Please.
1210
01:37:39,062 --> 01:37:42,440
As the defense has
no other witnesses...
1211
01:37:42,732 --> 01:37:44,901
I'm inclined to permit this,
Mr. Reynard.
1212
01:37:45,193 --> 01:37:47,362
It's a last-ditch ploy,
Your Honor.
1213
01:37:47,654 --> 01:37:50,073
The defense hopes
my presence on the stand...
1214
01:37:50,365 --> 01:37:52,576
will create the opportunity
for a mistrial.
1215
01:37:54,160 --> 01:37:56,580
The defense is mistaken.
1216
01:37:58,582 --> 01:38:00,166
Thank you, Your Honor.
1217
01:38:01,877 --> 01:38:06,840
Let's discuss your involvement
in the original Shu Kai Kim case.
1218
01:38:07,132 --> 01:38:09,175
My "involvement"
was marginal, at best.
1219
01:38:09,467 --> 01:38:11,720
I wasn't assigned
the original Kim case.
1220
01:38:12,012 --> 01:38:15,932
Right. Weren't you busy investigating a
Colombian crime syndicate at that time?
1221
01:38:16,224 --> 01:38:17,224
Yes, Mr. Dodd.
1222
01:38:17,475 --> 01:38:21,521
That case, with its attendant publicity,
led you into the office you now hold.
1223
01:38:21,813 --> 01:38:24,941
If I were sitting where I normally sit,
I'd say, "Calls for speculation."
1224
01:38:25,233 --> 01:38:27,444
But you aren't sitting
where you normally sit.
1225
01:38:27,736 --> 01:38:32,699
So, did you have a hands-on role,
or did you just supervise from on high?
1226
01:38:33,867 --> 01:38:35,994
I was personally involved...
1227
01:38:36,286 --> 01:38:39,164
with all phases and principals
of the investigation.
1228
01:38:39,456 --> 01:38:41,666
- Your Honor, I see no connection...
- And who...
1229
01:38:41,958 --> 01:38:45,712
were the three detectives who assisted
you in the Colombian case, please?
1230
01:38:47,964 --> 01:38:51,217
Lou Sklaroff, Vin Dennehy
and Dave Montell.
1231
01:38:51,509 --> 01:38:54,471
The same three detectives
in the Shu Kai Kim case.
1232
01:38:54,763 --> 01:38:58,850
That's right, Mr. Dodd. In those days
they often worked as a team.
1233
01:38:59,726 --> 01:39:01,019
Who was Arturo Esparza?
1234
01:39:02,896 --> 01:39:04,773
I don't know that name.
1235
01:39:05,065 --> 01:39:08,860
You just said you were involved with
all principals of the investigation.
1236
01:39:09,152 --> 01:39:13,031
But I can't be expected to remember the
name of every informant 8 years later.
1237
01:39:14,240 --> 01:39:17,160
I didn't say he was an informant,
did I?
1238
01:39:17,452 --> 01:39:22,040
But since you mentioned it, he was your
key informant, your primary informant.
1239
01:39:22,332 --> 01:39:25,126
Without him, you had no investigation
in the Colombian case, did you?
1240
01:39:25,418 --> 01:39:27,295
Showboating can cost lives.
1241
01:39:27,587 --> 01:39:30,006
You're trespassing
into witness protection.
1242
01:39:30,298 --> 01:39:31,549
Witness protection.
1243
01:39:31,841 --> 01:39:35,178
That's when the State grants favorable
treatment in exchange for information.
1244
01:39:35,470 --> 01:39:37,180
Like yesterday with Mr. Ortega.
1245
01:39:37,472 --> 01:39:41,977
A necessary compromise to serve
a greater good. It's a trade-off.
1246
01:39:42,268 --> 01:39:43,311
Trade-off?
1247
01:39:44,437 --> 01:39:46,898
How far does it go, Mr. Reynard?
1248
01:39:47,190 --> 01:39:51,236
Protecting a key informant
by covering up a murder he's committed?
1249
01:39:51,528 --> 01:39:53,697
Or does it go even further?
1250
01:39:53,989 --> 01:39:57,117
I think you're a dangerous man,
Mr. Dodd.
1251
01:39:58,535 --> 01:40:00,787
I hope so, Mr. Reynard.
1252
01:40:03,873 --> 01:40:06,042
On the night
of November 2, 1979...
1253
01:40:06,334 --> 01:40:08,128
the night Jimmy Chin
was murdered...
1254
01:40:08,420 --> 01:40:12,382
didn't your key informant Art Esparza
phone you in a panic and say...
1255
01:40:12,674 --> 01:40:15,051
"I just shot a man in Chinatown.
People saw me do it."
1256
01:40:15,343 --> 01:40:17,721
- No.
- Yes! And what did you say?
1257
01:40:18,013 --> 01:40:20,348
- Objection! Badgering!
- Sustained.
1258
01:40:20,640 --> 01:40:24,352
Didn't you say, "Don't worry, we'll
make it look like a Chinatown gang hit"?
1259
01:40:24,644 --> 01:40:27,939
- That is a slanderous accusation.
- Your team combed through mug books.
1260
01:40:28,231 --> 01:40:30,108
Found a patsy. Framed him!
1261
01:40:30,400 --> 01:40:32,152
The objection was sustained.
1262
01:40:32,444 --> 01:40:34,446
We can't let Esparza's crime
spoil everything.
1263
01:40:34,738 --> 01:40:36,573
That wouldn't serve
the greater good!
1264
01:40:36,865 --> 01:40:40,785
Your Honor, Counsel is recklessly
exposing privileged information...
1265
01:40:41,077 --> 01:40:43,204
from a classified case.
1266
01:40:43,496 --> 01:40:47,208
That case has been over for years.
Art Esparza is dead.
1267
01:40:50,545 --> 01:40:53,131
Can't my client go free now?
1268
01:41:05,810 --> 01:41:09,898
Mr. Dodd, this is an improper forum
for these allegations.
1269
01:41:10,190 --> 01:41:13,318
I understand.
You had to protect your case.
1270
01:41:13,610 --> 01:41:18,156
You made a lot of arrests.
You maybe even saved some lives.
1271
01:41:26,247 --> 01:41:28,958
You make that sound trivial.
1272
01:41:29,250 --> 01:41:31,044
Trivial?
1273
01:41:31,336 --> 01:41:33,671
No, not trivial.
1274
01:41:33,963 --> 01:41:37,592
Your Honor, my apologies. I withdraw
these questions for the record.
1275
01:41:37,884 --> 01:41:40,136
But I must know one thing.
1276
01:41:42,889 --> 01:41:45,767
How could you do it?
1277
01:41:49,437 --> 01:41:51,981
It was a trade-off, Mr. Dodd.
1278
01:41:56,069 --> 01:41:58,154
I'd do it again.
1279
01:42:04,911 --> 01:42:06,663
Your Honor...
1280
01:42:08,623 --> 01:42:11,042
the defense rests.
1281
01:43:03,261 --> 01:43:06,472
Looks like you've become
a symbol for your community.
1282
01:43:09,142 --> 01:43:12,854
- Think I could get a ride with you guys?
- Go ahead, Shu.
1283
01:43:13,146 --> 01:43:14,772
Be important.
1284
01:43:28,620 --> 01:43:29,620
Thanks.
1285
01:43:32,207 --> 01:43:35,585
Go on, get out of here.
Your mother's waiting for you.
1286
01:44:11,579 --> 01:44:14,123
So what about you?
1287
01:44:14,415 --> 01:44:16,751
Still thinking
about that job on Wall Street?
1288
01:44:17,043 --> 01:44:19,045
What, now that things
are going well?
1289
01:44:19,337 --> 01:44:22,006
Hope this doesn't mean
you're gonna ask for a raise.
1290
01:44:22,298 --> 01:44:26,052
- Raise? I haven't even been paid yet.
- You haven't? Good. I was worried.
1291
01:44:26,344 --> 01:44:29,597
All the publicity from this oughta
get us a decent bunch of clients.
1292
01:44:29,889 --> 01:44:31,349
Decent? Roger.
1293
01:44:31,641 --> 01:44:34,686
The most grievous injustices
in history...
1294
01:44:34,978 --> 01:44:36,738
have been perpetrated
in the name of decency.
1295
01:44:36,980 --> 01:44:38,398
Sorry I asked.
1296
01:44:38,690 --> 01:44:41,651
This case shows we must support
the indecent, the indefensible...
1297
01:44:41,943 --> 01:44:44,112
the wretched, the disreputable.
