1
00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:07,074
Down.
2
00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:09,951
Hut... hut!
3
00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:14,795
I remember
my first game of football.
4
00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:20,396
Something happened that afternoon
that's hard to explain.
5
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:22,832
I felt like I could do anything.
6
00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:26,240
I felt...
7
00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:29,110
free.
8
00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:33,680
I didn't know much about
what that word meant then.
9
00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:36,030
Free.
10
00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:39,271
Not like I do now.
11
00:01:40,320 --> 00:01:42,960
Freedom doesn'tjust start
on the football field.
12
00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:47,549
It starts in the mind.
13
00:01:59,960 --> 00:02:02,680
- Banks, runnin' a cover two, ready?
- Break!
14
00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:06,959
Go right, go right.
15
00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:09,316
Wingback, wing.
16
00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:25,200
- Yeah, bro.
- Yeah.
17
00:02:26,640 --> 00:02:27,960
Good hustle today, Banks.
18
00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:29,474
Thanks, Coach.
19
00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:31,841
Though it took a minute
for that muscle memory to kick in.
20
00:02:31,920 --> 00:02:34,674
I know we're not SC,
but we are glad to have you here.
21
00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:50,069
This is Brian.
22
00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:52,755
Need you in my office
9:00 a.m. tomorrow morning, Banks.
23
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:56,432
Well, I thought our next meeting
wasn't until next month.
24
00:02:56,520 --> 00:02:58,591
Special meeting. Be there.
25
00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:17,552
All right, listen up, children.
26
00:03:17,640 --> 00:03:20,109
Those of you who have seen the news,
I'm sure you know...
27
00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:22,954
Sacramento has implemented
a new law last week
28
00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:26,556
that all 290 registrants
who are currently on parole
29
00:03:26,640 --> 00:03:28,120
must wear one of these.
30
00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:31,718
It's a GPS tracking monitor
that you wear on your ankle.
31
00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:34,269
Put your hand down, son.
I already know your question.
32
00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:35,800
Can you take it off?
33
00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:38,636
The answer is never, ever.
34
00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:41,754
You must wear this thing 24/7.
35
00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:44,560
You charge it in the morning,
you charge it in the evening.
36
00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:47,679
Now remember,
you must be within LA County
37
00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:52,198
but cannot be within 2,000 feet
of a school or a park.
38
00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:54,440
Are we clear?
39
00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:58,433
You know I've been playing football
with Long Beach City College.
40
00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:01,440
Not anymore you're not.
You can't bust this thing up.
41
00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:03,751
Can I just remove it while I play?
42
00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:06,400
- No, no. No way.
- But I gotta play, sir.
43
00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:08,836
See, I'm trying to work my way back
to a shot at the NFL.
44
00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:10,832
You know how many kids
tell me that every day?
45
00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:14,675
They wanna be in the NFL, NBA, rap stars.
46
00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:17,559
Forget about football.
47
00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:20,990
Boyhood dreams got no place
in a man's life.
48
00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:22,800
You need to concentrate
on getting employed.
49
00:04:23,280 --> 00:04:26,432
Or you can dick around,
end up right back in the system.
50
00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:28,758
It's on you. Next.
51
00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:41,994
Oh, no, no, no, no, no!
52
00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:44,276
No!
53
00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:55,837
Maybe they'll cut your time short.
54
00:04:56,600 --> 00:04:58,000
They ain't gonna cut it short.
55
00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:03,630
Well, maybe you can play football
when it's up.
56
00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:07,509

Today marks the culmination
of a five-year battle
71
00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:35,911
by the California Innocence Project
to right a terrible wrong.
72
00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:41,071
Twenty-one years ago, this man
was convicted and locked away
73
00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:42,435
for a crime he didn't commit.
74
00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:44,714
Write 'em again.
75
00:06:44,840 --> 00:06:46,496
The truth is, Mr. Hanline is innocent.
76
00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:48,318
They already turned me down, Mom.
77
00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:52,435
This time don't tell 'em
about your case.
78
00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:54,800
Tell 'em about you.
79
00:06:56,360 --> 00:06:58,352
Tell 'em who you are.
80
00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:13,393
Dear Mr. Brooks,
81
00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:16,430
I'm writing you again in the hope
82
00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:20,150
that the California Innocence Project
will reconsider my case.
83
00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:23,317
I know you hear from a lot of people.
84
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:27,630
But maybe if you got to know me,
you might reconsider.
85
00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:32,194
Let me state clearly and unequivocally
I am innocent.
86
00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:37,759
I spent six years in prison
and the past three on parole
87
00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:40,833
for a sex offense that I did not commit.
88
00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:45,190
I wrote you two years ago from CMC
and you turned me down.
89
00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:49,158
But I don't stay down. Not for long.
90
00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:53,514
I learned that in prison,
and I learned it growing up, too.
91
00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:57,674
You see, I played a lot of football
when I was young.
92
00:07:57,760 --> 00:08:00,559
And it wasn't all ice cream
and pizza parties.
93
00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:02,116
No, sir.
94
00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:05,680
I had a different walk home.
95
00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:08,836
Life in Long Beach was for real
96
00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:11,192
and it was hard to see a way out.
97
00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:16,592
But football gave me an option.
98
00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:19,710
It taught me discipline and dedication,
99
00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:22,679
and strangely, it gave me faith.
100
00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:26,754
Because Mom said my talent
was God-given.
101
00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:31,720
So each night I promised
to give something back in return.
102
00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:35,316
By the time I was 16,
103
00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:38,393
I wasn'tjust your average
high school football player.
104
00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:41,120
I was what they called a "sure thing."
105
00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:43,556
All-American Brian Banks with the tackle!
106
00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:48,074
Brutal hit by Brian Banks,
all the way up here in the press box.
107
00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:52,074
I played middle linebacker
on one of the best teams in the country.
108
00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:54,595
We had two thousand fans at every game.
109
00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:57,519
But to be honest, I only heard one.
110
00:08:57,640 --> 00:09:00,030
Yes! That's my baby!
111
00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:02,112
The sky is the limit for this kid...
112
00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:03,919
Even though
I was just a sophomore,
113
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:05,957
I had the attention of the media...
114
00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:09,033
Big game coming up, Brian.
Remember we're doing that feature on you.
115
00:09:09,680 --> 00:09:12,115
- You'll call me, right? Great game.
- Yes, sir.
116
00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:14,157
and the best coach in college football...
117
00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:15,976
- Let's go! Push it up!
- Hey, Coach Carroll.
118
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:18,515
- Brian!
- Coach Pete Carroll of USC.
119
00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:21,672
Good to see you, man. Just reviewed
the tape on you from last season.
120
00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:23,592
- Amazing.
- Thanks, Coach.
121
00:09:23,680 --> 00:09:25,273
Can't wait to see what you bring today.
122
00:09:25,760 --> 00:09:27,696
We do this right we're not just
talking about the Rose Bowl,
123
00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:29,951
we're talking NFL
and a lifetime of opportunities.
124
00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:32,111
Coach Carroll was someone I looked up to,
125
00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:34,999
and his belief in me
made a world of difference.
126
00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:36,920
What did it say?
127
00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:39,753
- USC.
- Huh?
128
00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:42,840
- It says USC!
- Yeah.
129
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:47,357
But all that changed on July 8th, 2002.
130
00:09:48,560 --> 00:09:51,678
You know that feeling you get
that tells you something is off?
131
00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:54,751
Some say it's the voice of God.
132
00:09:56,160 --> 00:09:59,039
Had I listened to that voice
we might not be here today.
133
00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:02,200
But I didn't.
134
00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:04,513
And here we are.
135
00:10:16,520 --> 00:10:18,079
Yo, wait. Hold up, hold up.
136
00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:23,470
- Yeah.
- Pack it up. Get outta there.
137
00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:25,576
- I'm not done with the job yet.
- No, you are done.
138
00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:28,035
The monitor says
that you're at Pomona fairgrounds.
139
00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:30,715
"Fair" and "sex offender"
do not go together, Banks.
140
00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:32,951
Look, sir, we're only here
for a couple more hours.
141
00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:35,111
You know how long it took me
to get this job?
142
00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:37,576
- If I leave now I get fired.
- Yeah. If you don't leave now,
143
00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:39,671
might as well drive yourself
straight to county.
144
00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:42,356
Pack it up. Get your ass outta there.
145
00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:52,119
All right, so I'm innocent.
What are my options?
146
00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:53,953
Anybody?
147
00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:56,635
Come on, what are my options? Yes?
148
00:10:56,760 --> 00:10:58,319
Um, take it to the Supreme Court?
149
00:10:58,400 --> 00:11:01,359
No. You have no constitutional right
to take it to the Supreme Court,
150
00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:04,717
even if you're innocent. The best
you can do is take it to the state level.
151
00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:07,031
And good luck with that in California.
152
00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:09,760
Because?
I'm gonna keep tellin' you guys this.
153
00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:13,516
It is almost impossible to overturn
a conviction here in California.
154
00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:16,434
We make those people out in Alabama
look like a bunch of liberals.
155
00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:21,640
I quote, "New evidence must completely
undermine the prosecution's case
156
00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:24,679
and point unerringly to innocence."
157
00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:27,596
All right?
That's it for today. Thanks.
158
00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:33,952
Mr. Brooks, I'm Brian Banks.
159
00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:37,192
Oh, hey, Brian.
Yeah, you're the football player, right?
160
00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:41,270
- You got my letter.
- I got your letters, plural, right?
161
00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:44,475
Look, Brian,
I know Alissa explained to you
162
00:11:44,560 --> 00:11:46,677
we only work
with wrongly imprisoned people.
163
00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:50,800
- I was wrongly imprisoned...
- I know, I know, but you're out now. Okay?
164
00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:53,118
It's a good thing, and you took a plea.
165
00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:55,936
- I only took the plea 'cause I was...
- You don't have to explain. It's okay.
166
00:11:55,960 --> 00:11:58,714
It's okay. Ninety-seven percent
of all cases plead out.
167
00:11:58,800 --> 00:12:01,793
But you didn't go to trial
so you can't appeal.
168
00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:05,317
- There's nothing you can do.
- There's always something you can do.
169
00:12:05,400 --> 00:12:08,074
- You can file a habeas petition.
- A what?
170
00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:09,913
It's a writ of habeas corpus.
171
00:12:10,040 --> 00:12:12,271
You challenge the conviction
based on new evidence.
172
00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:14,496
But if you were paying attention in there
you heard me.
173
00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:16,910
It's gotta be damn good evidence,
all right?
174
00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:19,879
- I gotta go.
- Let me tell you about my DNA evidence.
175
00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:22,429
Which you had at the time, right,
and you didn't use it.
176
00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:25,216
That's what I'm trying to tell you, Brian.
You need something new.
177
00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:26,310
New piece of evidence.
178
00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:29,871
A new witness who can place you somewhere
else at the time of the incident,
179
00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:32,031
or a recantation by the complainant.
180
00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:33,315
What's that?
181
00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:35,955
Well, basically the girl
would have to say you didn't do it.
182
00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:39,750
Come on. I go anywhere near that girl,
they're gonna put me right back in prison.
183
00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:43,436
And ain't no way that girl gonna flip.
She got paid a million and a half bucks.
184
00:12:44,560 --> 00:12:45,710
She what?
185
00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:48,440
Her and her mom sued the school district
for lack of security.
186
00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:49,749
They got one-point-five.
187
00:12:53,080 --> 00:12:55,834
All right. Well, look, Brian,
I've got clients,
188
00:12:55,960 --> 00:12:59,840
innocent people,
they've been locked up 20, 30 years.
189
00:12:59,920 --> 00:13:02,640
They'd love to be able to take
a nice drive to San Diego.
190
00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:05,396
The criminal justice system is messed up.
191
00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:07,790
It's supposed to be innocent
until proven guilty.
192
00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:10,476
In a lot of cases it's the exact opposite.
193
00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:12,873
Sounds like yours included.
194
00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:14,756
I'm sorry.
195
00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:19,033
What's that thing called again?
196
00:13:19,680 --> 00:13:20,716
A writ of what?
197
00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:23,554
Habeas corpus.

Hey, Corey, look, man. I really appreciate
what you're trying to do.
212
00:14:06,160 --> 00:14:09,312
But I ain't gonna be surprised
if the owner's got a problem with this.
213
00:14:09,400 --> 00:14:12,120
Brian, I've known you since we were kids.
214
00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:15,034
I'm gonna talk to the owner,
let him know you're a straight-up dude,
215
00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:17,200
and he has nothing to worry about
because he doesn't.
216
00:14:17,280 --> 00:14:18,760
- Hey, thanks, man.
- I got you.
217
00:14:18,840 --> 00:14:20,194
That means the world, all right?
218
00:14:20,640 --> 00:14:22,359
Hey, Karina, come here for a sec.
219
00:14:22,920 --> 00:14:25,913
I want to introduce you to my man Brian.
He's gonna be working here soon.
220
00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:27,753
Great. Nice to meet you.
221
00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:29,496
Let me tell you something about this dude.
222
00:14:29,520 --> 00:14:32,718
Like, back in the day,
baddest football player ever.
223
00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:35,918
- Yeah. I'm tellin' you.
- You don't play anymore?
224
00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:38,671
I'm not in playing shape right now.
225
00:14:38,760 --> 00:14:40,040
Karina could help you with that.
226
00:14:40,120 --> 00:14:44,478
I mean, this girl right here is fierce.
Get you back in tip-top shape in no time.
227
00:14:44,560 --> 00:14:46,631
So listen, I'mma call you in a few days.
228
00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:48,916
All right. Thanks again.
229
00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:50,878
- Really.
- No problem, man. I got you.
230
00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:55,194
Corey's great. Treats people really well.
231
00:14:55,280 --> 00:14:57,351
He's steppin' out for me,
that's for sure.
232
00:14:58,560 --> 00:15:00,074
So, are you gonna work out?
233
00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:03,198
I'm thinking about it.
Corey said it was cool, so, you know...
234
00:15:03,480 --> 00:15:05,312
Well, I can train you, if you want.
235
00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:08,757
Oh, wow, look,
that's really generous, thank you.
236
00:15:08,840 --> 00:15:11,071
But things have been kind of tight
for me lately, so...
237
00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:12,160
No problem.
238
00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:15,039
First session is complimentary. Really.
239
00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:17,877
Come on. Let's see what you got.
240
00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:22,310
Push it. Nice. Arch the back.
241
00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:26,074
Four, three, five, six.
242
00:15:26,440 --> 00:15:27,874
Both arms.
243
00:15:28,400 --> 00:15:30,153
Both arms. Up.
244
00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:34,195
And rest. Nice.
245
00:15:34,640 --> 00:15:35,640
Yeah.
246
00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:40,631
- Hey, let's go.
- Oh, yeah, in a minute.
247
00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:46,232
Nice, nice. Okay.
248
00:15:47,040 --> 00:15:49,396
Pump those knees, stick the landing.
249
00:15:50,560 --> 00:15:51,630
Give me ten.
250
00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:54,036
Okay.
251
00:16:00,920 --> 00:16:03,754
So, I wanted to get my master's, but...
252
00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:05,754
I have so many student loans
253
00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:09,880
that I just thought, you know,
why not take a break.
254
00:16:10,280 --> 00:16:12,875
Work, chip away at some of that debt.
255
00:16:13,600 --> 00:16:16,434
And before I knew it
two years turned into five
256
00:16:16,520 --> 00:16:19,399
and still not in grad school, but...
257
00:16:19,480 --> 00:16:20,834
So, what you studying?
258
00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:23,034
I majored in art.
259
00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:26,033
What? That's cool.
260
00:16:26,120 --> 00:16:29,431
Anyway, Columbia is the dream
for grad school,
261
00:16:29,520 --> 00:16:30,954
so fingers crossed.
262
00:16:31,040 --> 00:16:33,032
Hey, got 'em crossed.
263
00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:36,394
Anyway, what about you?
264
00:16:36,480 --> 00:16:39,951
- You used to be a football player.
- Yeah.
265
00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:41,640
But you don't play anymore?
266
00:16:42,160 --> 00:16:43,514
I'm hopin' to.
267
00:16:44,200 --> 00:16:45,953
What happened? Why don't you play?
268
00:16:47,880 --> 00:16:52,557
Okay, Karina, look,
if we're gonna hang out, be friends...
269
00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:56,556
there's something I gotta tell you.
270
00:16:57,280 --> 00:16:58,475
Okay.
271
00:17:03,160 --> 00:17:07,439
When I was 16, I was accused
of something that I didn't do.
272
00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:11,155
Now, this is back in high school,
you know.
273
00:17:11,240 --> 00:17:15,951
I was on my way to USC,
full ride, football, everything, right?
274
00:17:16,040 --> 00:17:20,557
This young lady falsely accused me...
275
00:17:31,880 --> 00:17:35,112
I've just been working to get
my life back and clear my name.
276
00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:40,157
- Uh...
- Yeah.
277
00:17:40,240 --> 00:17:41,435
I, um...
278
00:17:43,840 --> 00:17:45,672
I have to go back to work.
279
00:17:45,760 --> 00:17:48,400
- I'm sorry. Let me...
- Yeah, no. I mean, it's your job.
280
00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:50,631
I'll give you... I-I'll give you something.
281
00:17:50,720 --> 00:17:52,234
No, don't worry about it.
282
00:17:52,320 --> 00:17:54,391
I got it. I got it, yeah.
283
00:17:54,480 --> 00:17:58,235
- I'll see you at the gym, okay?
- It's okay. It's okay. Yeah.
284
00:18:08,600 --> 00:18:09,716
Mom.
285
00:18:11,360 --> 00:18:12,510
Mom!
286
00:18:55,960 --> 00:18:59,351
Your assignment this week
is to copy this...
287
00:19:00,280 --> 00:19:04,638
and tape it to your cell wall where
you can see it morning, noon, and night.
288
00:19:05,800 --> 00:19:08,599
This circle is your life.
289
00:19:09,440 --> 00:19:12,478
And the goal is to travel this circle...
290
00:19:13,480 --> 00:19:16,678
until you get back to who you are.
291
00:19:17,560 --> 00:19:21,315
Now, most people never make it
because of this.
292
00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:27,119
In here are distractions.
293
00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:30,637
You gotta have more,
you gotta make more.
294
00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:32,996
You gotta keep up with the Joneses.
295
00:19:33,560 --> 00:19:35,552
But you gentlemen have been given a gift.
296
00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:39,471
You've been removed
from these distractions.
297
00:19:40,040 --> 00:19:41,520
You can't get more.
298
00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:43,193
You can't make more.
299
00:19:43,760 --> 00:19:47,674
Given the right perspective,
prison can set you free.
300
00:19:48,480 --> 00:19:53,271
And your despair can become a doorway.
301
00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:56,596
Use that despair
302
00:19:56,680 --> 00:20:01,471
and never give up
on what lives within you.
303
00:20:07,800 --> 00:20:09,896
California Innocence Project.
304
00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:13,709
Hi. This is Brian Banks.
May I please speak to Alissa Bjerkhoel.
305
00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:18,040
It's Brian Banks again.
You want to take it or you want me to?
306
00:20:18,120 --> 00:20:20,351
- No, no, no. I got it, I got it.
- Okay.
307
00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:26,278
Brian.
308
00:20:26,800 --> 00:20:29,269
Hey, I saw your habeas petition.
309
00:20:29,360 --> 00:20:31,477
You can't just put us down
as your attorneys, Brian.
310
00:20:31,560 --> 00:20:34,280
I had to put somebody down
just in case they gave me a hearing,
311
00:20:34,360 --> 00:20:36,256
- which they're not gonna do because...
- Yeah, I know.
312
00:20:36,280 --> 00:20:37,600
They sent me a copy of this.
313
00:20:37,680 --> 00:20:39,536
I tried to tell you,
you need some new evidence.
314
00:20:39,560 --> 00:20:40,914
So help me find some.
315
00:20:41,280 --> 00:20:43,280
It's out there, it's gotta be,
'cause I'm innocent.
316
00:20:43,320 --> 00:20:46,518
We've had prisoners put together
their own habeas petitions before.
317
00:20:46,640 --> 00:20:49,633
Never very good, but, uh...
318
00:20:49,720 --> 00:20:50,915
but this is...
319
00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:53,520
Guys, I see you hiding out there.
Why don't you just come on in?
320
00:20:54,840 --> 00:20:56,456
You sure you didn't have
any help with this?
321
00:20:56,480 --> 00:20:57,800
You didn't give me any, remember?
322
00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:02,511
Right. Well, you got a real fan club
up here, Brian.
323
00:21:03,160 --> 00:21:06,358
I'm gonna have a mutiny on my hands
unless we do something,
324
00:21:06,440 --> 00:21:09,911
so Marilyn and Alissa
are gonna head up to Los Angeles,
325
00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:11,753
ask you a few questions, all right?
326
00:21:11,840 --> 00:21:14,480
Meanwhile, I don't want you
to go outside county lines.
327
00:21:15,400 --> 00:21:17,119
Does that mean you're taking on my case?
328
00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:19,431
No. It doesn't mean that.
329
00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:21,955
In fact, I'm hesitant to even have
this conversation with you
330
00:21:22,040 --> 00:21:23,759
for fear I'm gonna get your hopes up.
331
00:21:24,560 --> 00:21:28,156
But if we have an inkling
that we can help somebody out,
332
00:21:28,240 --> 00:21:30,277
we try and at least grant 'em
an interview.
333
00:21:31,440 --> 00:21:32,669
So you have an inkling?
334
00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:35,237
- No, I didn't say that.
- You just did.
335
00:21:35,320 --> 00:21:37,676
- You definitely did.
- No, I said if I have an inkling.
336
00:21:37,760 --> 00:21:41,515
Inkling: a slight knowledge, hint,
or suspicion. Middle English origin.
337
00:21:41,600 --> 00:21:44,056
I read the dictionary twice
when I was in prison, Mr. Brooks...
338
00:21:44,080 --> 00:21:46,231
We gotta go, Brian.
339
00:21:47,240 --> 00:21:49,675
- Happy?
- Come on, let's go.
340
00:21:54,160 --> 00:21:57,358
So, is it okay if we record you?
341
00:21:58,280 --> 00:22:00,715
- Absolutely.
- Okay.
342
00:22:01,960 --> 00:22:04,429
Now we need you
to walk us through the incident.
343
00:22:05,080 --> 00:22:06,799
Can you tell us what happened that day?
344
00:22:08,800 --> 00:22:11,520
I just left history class.
345
00:22:12,200 --> 00:22:15,079
I was going to call this reporter.
346
00:22:16,080 --> 00:22:18,549
This is Mike. Leave a message.
347
00:22:18,640 --> 00:22:20,871
Hey, Mr. Paley, it's Brian Banks.
348
00:22:20,960 --> 00:22:23,953
Um... guess I'll just try you
after school.
349
00:22:25,880 --> 00:22:27,837
Her name was Kennisha Rice.
350
00:22:29,720 --> 00:22:31,473
I knew her from middle school.
351
00:22:31,560 --> 00:22:33,870
Her and her sister Ava.
352
00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:37,075
Hey, Kennisha, what up?
What you doin'?
353
00:22:37,600 --> 00:22:38,954
Bathroom.
354
00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:41,194
Bathroom that way.
355
00:22:41,280 --> 00:22:43,556
I was gonna go to the 700 building.
356
00:22:44,520 --> 00:22:46,273
I mean, you want me to walk with you?
357
00:22:46,920 --> 00:22:48,195
Okay.
358
00:22:48,560 --> 00:22:49,789
Okay.
359
00:22:49,880 --> 00:22:52,793
The 700 building was across campus.
360
00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:57,913
It had this place
where everybody went to make out.
361
00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:03,875
The whole school knew about it,
that if you liked a girl
362
00:23:03,960 --> 00:23:05,872
and a girl liked you...
363
00:23:06,960 --> 00:23:08,599
you always ended up there.
364
00:23:11,800 --> 00:23:14,416
- But it was tricky to get to.
- Your homework will be chapter...
365
00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:18,878
There was this long hallway,
and you had to be really quiet.
366
00:23:20,640 --> 00:23:23,075
But if you made it through...
367
00:23:23,160 --> 00:23:25,072
you were on your own.
368
00:23:25,880 --> 00:23:26,996
Usually.
369
00:23:28,640 --> 00:23:31,474
What you tryin' to do, though?
What's up?
370
00:23:46,680 --> 00:23:50,310
And then I was thinking,
what are you doing?
371
00:23:50,880 --> 00:23:54,715
If we get caught,
then I get kicked out of summer school,
372
00:23:54,800 --> 00:23:56,792
and that could mess up
the whole football season.
373
00:23:57,600 --> 00:23:59,159
So when I heard the teacher,
374
00:24:00,360 --> 00:24:01,953
I-I stopped.
375
00:24:03,240 --> 00:24:04,435
I stopped.
376
00:24:05,520 --> 00:24:07,955
Hey, look, I ain't really
feelin' this no more, so...
377
00:24:08,640 --> 00:24:13,157
um... you go out that way,
I'm gonna go out that door.
378
00:24:13,600 --> 00:24:14,920
All right?
379
00:24:16,360 --> 00:24:19,114
There's just so many things
I could have said.
380
00:24:20,360 --> 00:24:23,273
"I didn't want you
to get in trouble," or...
381
00:24:24,240 --> 00:24:26,880
"I just don't think
this is special enough of a place."
382
00:24:31,080 --> 00:24:33,311
But I w... I was 16.
383
00:24:35,280 --> 00:24:37,033
I wasn't grown-up enough.
384
00:24:40,520 --> 00:24:42,113
And to be honest,
385
00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:45,671
I just went back to class
and I forgot about it.
386
00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:48,434
But she didn't forget.
387
00:24:52,280 --> 00:24:54,158
She went back to math class.
388
00:24:54,880 --> 00:24:57,520
Was with her friend Shayla.
389
00:25:01,240 --> 00:25:03,118
And that's where it all went wrong.
390
00:25:06,520 --> 00:25:08,989
While she and her mom
were with the police...
391
00:25:09,520 --> 00:25:10,590
Show us where.
392
00:25:11,400 --> 00:25:12,834
I was at home.
393
00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:17,196
I still remember my dream.
394
00:25:21,040 --> 00:25:23,760
It was that same feeling I had
when I was a kid.
395
00:25:27,640 --> 00:25:29,836
The feeling of being free.
396
00:25:31,360 --> 00:25:33,352
- Don't move! Let's go!
- Put it on the wrist.
397
00:25:33,440 --> 00:25:35,296
- Put your hands behind your back.
- Wait, wait, wait a minute.
398
00:25:35,320 --> 00:25:37,056
- Wait a minute, wait a minute.
- Get him cuffed. Shut up.
399
00:25:37,080 --> 00:25:38,616
- But I didn't do nothing.
- Get him up!
400
00:25:38,640 --> 00:25:41,599
I didn't do nothing! Mom! Mom!
401
00:25:41,680 --> 00:25:43,360
- Mom! Mom!
- Let's get him up! Get him up!
402
00:25:43,400 --> 00:25:45,551
- Get him out of here!
- Mom, I didn't do nothing!
403
00:25:45,640 --> 00:25:48,439
- I didn't do nothing.
- Where are you taking my son?
404
00:25:48,520 --> 00:25:50,876
- Brian! Brian!
- Mom! I didn't do nothing!
405
00:25:50,960 --> 00:25:54,590
Brian! Stop! Brian!
406
00:25:55,560 --> 00:25:56,960
Brian!
407
00:25:58,880 --> 00:26:01,520
Brian's problem is that he told the truth.
408
00:26:01,600 --> 00:26:04,035
Without legal counsel present
he admitted
409
00:26:04,120 --> 00:26:06,032
to being in the stairwell with Kennisha,
410
00:26:06,120 --> 00:26:08,555
and the DA determined
there was probable cause.
411
00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:11,394
Two months later Brian was removed
from juvenile court
412
00:26:11,480 --> 00:26:12,960
and tried as an adult.
413
00:26:13,040 --> 00:26:14,997
Two counts of felony rape
414
00:26:15,080 --> 00:26:18,312
and one count of sodomy with
an enhanced circumstance of kidnapping.
415
00:26:18,400 --> 00:26:21,518
His mother had to sell their house
and their car to afford a new attorney.
416
00:26:21,640 --> 00:26:24,599
According to the record, every time
Kennisha told her story it changed.
417
00:26:24,680 --> 00:26:26,558
And how did he drag her down a hallway
418
00:26:26,640 --> 00:26:28,916
by a bunch of open classrooms
without being noticed?
419
00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:32,471
Exactly. Unfortunately,
no one ever visited the hallway...
420
00:26:32,560 --> 00:26:34,358
not the attorneys, not the investigators.
421
00:26:34,440 --> 00:26:36,875
- And the DNA evidence?
- It came back negative.
422
00:26:36,960 --> 00:26:39,873
Which supports Brian's assertion
they never had sex.
423
00:26:39,960 --> 00:26:42,714
So why did he plea? Did you ask him?
424
00:26:55,400 --> 00:26:57,471
I'm sorry, folks.
We need a 30-minute recess
425
00:26:57,560 --> 00:26:59,995
while I meet with counsel in chambers.
426
00:27:10,120 --> 00:27:12,999
I got some good news.
I worked out a deal with the DA.
427
00:27:13,640 --> 00:27:17,350
- They're gonna drop the charges?
- Kidnapping and sodomy charges
428
00:27:17,440 --> 00:27:20,080
if you agree to plead no contest
to one count of rape.
429
00:27:20,600 --> 00:27:22,034
What's "no contest"?
430
00:27:22,160 --> 00:27:23,720
It means you don't contest the charges.
431
00:27:23,800 --> 00:27:25,800
You don't plead guilty,
you don't plead not guilty.
432
00:27:25,840 --> 00:27:27,559
But I am not guilty.
433
00:27:27,640 --> 00:27:29,791
Brian, I have seen this too many times.
434
00:27:29,880 --> 00:27:33,590
You admitted to some intimate contact,
so it comes down to consent.
435
00:27:34,920 --> 00:27:36,798
Who's the jury gonna believe?
436
00:27:36,880 --> 00:27:39,156
And did you see
all those white folks out there?
437
00:27:39,720 --> 00:27:42,872
All they see is a big black teenager
accused of rape.
438
00:27:42,960 --> 00:27:45,953
And if any of them end up on the jury
they're gonna find you guilty.
439
00:27:46,560 --> 00:27:49,871
But if you take this deal
you are almost guaranteed probation.
440
00:27:49,960 --> 00:27:52,056
And in three months' time
you can be back to your family,
441
00:27:52,080 --> 00:27:53,992
back to your life,
back to playing football.
442
00:27:54,080 --> 00:27:55,480
You'd be free.
443
00:27:58,080 --> 00:27:59,833
Can I talk to my mom about this?
444
00:28:00,720 --> 00:28:02,040
No, Brian.
445
00:28:02,880 --> 00:28:06,635
You've been charged as an adult and
you need to make this decision yourself.
446
00:28:07,640 --> 00:28:09,677
And they've only given us
ten minutes to decide.
447
00:28:09,760 --> 00:28:12,150
- Ten minutes?
- Then the deal is off the table.
448
00:28:12,240 --> 00:28:14,118
You need to decide now.
449
00:28:14,200 --> 00:28:16,271
You wanna go home, put this behind you,
450
00:28:16,360 --> 00:28:19,239
or do you want to risk your whole life
for something you didn't do?
451
00:28:20,920 --> 00:28:22,479
Ten minutes, Brian.
452
00:28:36,680 --> 00:28:37,875
So, Mr. Banks,
453
00:28:38,400 --> 00:28:40,440
it's my understanding
that you wish to enter a plea.
454
00:28:40,880 --> 00:28:42,109
Is that correct?
455
00:28:51,640 --> 00:28:54,155
Uh, yes. Yes, sir.
456
00:28:54,600 --> 00:28:57,115
Now, you understand
that a plea of no contest
457
00:28:57,200 --> 00:28:59,396
has the same legal effect
as a plea of guilty,
458
00:29:00,400 --> 00:29:04,519
that you will be required to register as
a sex offender for the rest of your life.
459
00:29:04,600 --> 00:29:05,954
Do you understand that?
460
00:29:08,640 --> 00:29:09,640
Mr. Banks?
461
00:29:11,160 --> 00:29:12,674
Do you understand?
462
00:29:18,920 --> 00:29:20,195
Yes, sir.
463
00:29:21,400 --> 00:29:23,312
Brian Keith Banks,
464
00:29:23,400 --> 00:29:24,914
on count one,
465
00:29:25,760 --> 00:29:28,150
that you committed the crime
of forcible rape, a felony,
466
00:29:28,240 --> 00:29:29,240
how do you plead?
467
00:29:31,480 --> 00:29:33,756
N-No... No contest.
468
00:29:36,920 --> 00:29:38,479
Probation is denied.
469
00:29:41,160 --> 00:29:44,437
Defendant is to be imprisoned
for a total of six years,
470
00:29:44,520 --> 00:29:47,160
followed by five years
of supervised parole.
471
00:29:49,840 --> 00:29:51,115
No! No!
472
00:29:51,200 --> 00:29:52,856
- No, no. Wait, wait...
- This is not right.
473
00:29:52,880 --> 00:29:54,216
- That's what you get.
- This isn't right.
474
00:29:54,240 --> 00:29:56,152
- Six years?
- Judge, my son is innocent...
475
00:29:56,240 --> 00:29:57,913
- No. Wait. Mom, Mom.
- Brian.
476
00:29:58,000 --> 00:30:00,281
Mrs. Ford, you were supposed
to keep my son out of prison.
477
00:30:00,400 --> 00:30:02,039
You didn't say six years.
478
00:30:02,120 --> 00:30:05,158
You ain't say nothing
about six years. Mom! Mom!
479
00:30:05,280 --> 00:30:07,000
Now you about to pay
for raping my daughter.
480
00:30:07,080 --> 00:30:08,719
Hold on. Wait a minute, wait a minute.
481
00:30:08,800 --> 00:30:12,157
My son is innocent! My son is innocent!
482
00:30:13,400 --> 00:30:15,631
My son is innocent!
483
00:30:22,200 --> 00:30:23,680
Really good job, you guys.
484
00:30:23,800 --> 00:30:25,951
You laid out the facts of the case
really clearly.
485
00:30:26,040 --> 00:30:28,475
How does any of this help Brian?
486
00:30:28,560 --> 00:30:31,155
- What about the DNA?
- There are no witnesses.
487
00:30:31,240 --> 00:30:35,712
Guys. I know, I know.
A lot of really bad stuff happened.
488
00:30:35,800 --> 00:30:38,160
Not to mention he got questionable advice
from his attorney.
489
00:30:38,240 --> 00:30:41,790
But they had the DNA evidence,
all right? And they didn't use it.
490
00:30:41,880 --> 00:30:42,996
We can't either.
491
00:30:43,480 --> 00:30:45,312
Right? There's nothing new here, guys.
492
00:30:45,400 --> 00:30:49,189
Alissa, Marilyn, I sent you guys
up to LA to dig around.
493
00:30:49,760 --> 00:30:52,480
Did you find any new evidence
that hasn't been submitted?
494
00:30:52,560 --> 00:30:53,960
Okay, there was never a trial,
495
00:30:54,080 --> 00:30:56,056
so there have to be witnesses
that weren't questioned.
496
00:30:56,080 --> 00:30:58,336
- We can find them and talk to them.
- And when are we gonna do that?
497
00:30:58,360 --> 00:31:02,036
Are we gonna take away time from cases
we have a legitimate chance of winning?
498
00:31:02,120 --> 00:31:04,336
The Johnson case is definitely gonna push.
I'll find the time.
499
00:31:04,360 --> 00:31:07,637
I've got spring break coming up. I can
use my time to question a few people.
500
00:31:07,760 --> 00:31:09,956
- I've got time. I'm happy to help.
- Me too.
501
00:31:10,040 --> 00:31:11,713
- I'll help.
- I can.
502
00:31:11,800 --> 00:31:14,998
He's innocent. We got this.
503
00:31:17,040 --> 00:31:18,554
This is your fault.
504
00:31:27,040 --> 00:31:28,076
This is Brian.
505
00:31:29,160 --> 00:31:31,038
Hey, Brian, it's Alissa.
506
00:31:31,120 --> 00:31:34,238
Uh, do you have
your 2002 yearbook by chance?
507
00:31:34,320 --> 00:31:35,320
- Yeah.
- Okay, great.
508
00:31:35,400 --> 00:31:37,096
Do you think you can identify
some of the students
509
00:31:37,120 --> 00:31:38,360
you went to summer school with?
510
00:31:38,800 --> 00:31:40,359
Oh, yes, ma'am. Right away.
511
00:31:50,120 --> 00:31:52,680
- What's up?
- Hey, yo, Eli, what's up, man? It's B.
512
00:31:53,400 --> 00:31:54,914
Yeah, it's been a while, man.
513
00:32:02,560 --> 00:32:04,279
And then out of the blue Kennisha says,
514
00:32:04,400 --> 00:32:07,154
"Well, just so you know,
I wasn't even really raped.
515
00:32:07,240 --> 00:32:10,278
I only said that so my mom wouldn't
find out I was getting with boys."
516
00:32:11,760 --> 00:32:14,275
Shayla, would you be willing
to put all of this in writing?
517
00:32:14,960 --> 00:32:17,111
- Yeah.
- That's great.
518
00:32:24,280 --> 00:32:25,919
I'm sorry, man.
519
00:32:26,000 --> 00:32:27,514
Hey, you tried, man.
520
00:32:28,160 --> 00:32:29,753
- You tried.
- Yep.
521
00:32:34,280 --> 00:32:35,280
Brian?
522
00:32:38,640 --> 00:32:41,474
How'd it go with Corey?
Did you get the job?
523
00:32:42,280 --> 00:32:44,715
Actually, the owner said no.
524
00:32:44,800 --> 00:32:49,079
But Corey, no, he was great.
Really went to bat for me.
525
00:32:50,880 --> 00:32:53,873
Listen, I'm sorry about the other day.
526
00:32:53,960 --> 00:32:57,715
It's fine. Look, there's no good way
to tell a bad story, all right?
527
00:32:58,200 --> 00:33:00,715
And no matter how I tell it,
528
00:33:00,800 --> 00:33:03,395
people are always gonna wonder
if I'm telling the truth, so...
529
00:33:03,480 --> 00:33:05,392
I'm not wondering anymore.
530
00:33:05,480 --> 00:33:07,119
Corey and I spoke, and I know now
531
00:33:07,200 --> 00:33:09,396
that you didn't deserve
what happened to you.
532
00:33:12,440 --> 00:33:13,840
You know, the other day,
533
00:33:13,920 --> 00:33:16,833
I hesitated when I told you
I was an art major.
534
00:33:16,920 --> 00:33:19,719
That's because whenever I say it
people judge me.
535
00:33:20,840 --> 00:33:23,355
Brian, I judged you.
536
00:33:25,160 --> 00:33:27,197
And I am so sorry.
537
00:33:28,760 --> 00:33:30,797
In football we used to say,
538
00:33:31,840 --> 00:33:34,480
you spend too much time
thinking about the last play...
539
00:33:36,040 --> 00:33:37,997
you won't be ready for the next one.
540
00:33:40,520 --> 00:33:42,398
So you wanna work out with me?
541
00:33:43,320 --> 00:33:45,391
First session's complimentary.
542
00:33:50,880 --> 00:33:51,950
Brian?
543
00:33:54,360 --> 00:33:55,999
I'm not gonna work out in this.
544
00:33:57,960 --> 00:33:59,792
I'll be back in five minutes.
545
00:34:00,520 --> 00:34:03,194
Five minutes. Don't lock me out.

Thank you all,
554
00:34:53,200 --> 00:34:55,999
and don't let my playing
affect your donations.
555
00:34:58,320 --> 00:35:00,039
You're a man of many talents.
556
00:35:00,160 --> 00:35:01,196
Hey.
557
00:35:02,040 --> 00:35:04,111
When I was younger
I wanted to be a rock star.
558
00:35:04,200 --> 00:35:07,238
If I could've sung worth a lick
I never would've gone to law school.
559
00:35:07,320 --> 00:35:09,277
Lucky for me you can't sing.
560
00:35:09,360 --> 00:35:10,589
Was it that bad?
561
00:35:11,280 --> 00:35:12,794
It was pretty bad.
562
00:35:14,480 --> 00:35:17,678
So I'm guessing Alissa told you
how to find me tonight.
563
00:35:18,160 --> 00:35:20,436
- If I say yes, is she in trouble?
- No.
564
00:35:20,520 --> 00:35:24,355
Alissa's always in trouble.
I happen to like that about her.
565
00:35:28,880 --> 00:35:30,678
You got a little time before your curfew?
566
00:35:31,280 --> 00:35:32,280
Yeah.
567
00:35:34,440 --> 00:35:35,510

I'm... I'm sorry, what happened?
572
00:35:44,160 --> 00:35:46,436
- I think the table's slanted.
- Come ready.
573
00:35:47,360 --> 00:35:49,591
- I respect it. I respect it.
- Whoo!
574
00:35:53,120 --> 00:35:54,120
Pow.
575
00:35:55,520 --> 00:35:57,477
That's it? You givin' up?
576
00:35:57,560 --> 00:35:58,676
I'm out of money.
577
00:35:59,520 --> 00:36:02,797
- Hope you're happy.
- I'll be happy when you represent me.
578
00:36:02,880 --> 00:36:04,075
Mmm.
579
00:36:04,520 --> 00:36:07,558
Brian, I want to help you. I do.
580
00:36:08,360 --> 00:36:13,037
And in a perfect world you and I
would just waltz into the court,
581
00:36:13,120 --> 00:36:16,477
you'd tell 'em what Shayla said
and they'd reopen your case.
582
00:36:17,000 --> 00:36:19,117
But that is not the world we live in.
583
00:36:20,080 --> 00:36:22,675
The system is broken,
it's what I'm trying to tell you.
584
00:36:22,760 --> 00:36:24,274
It just doesn't care.
585
00:36:24,680 --> 00:36:27,991
I'm just supposed to accept that,
that the system is broken?
586
00:36:28,520 --> 00:36:30,113
You know what I say to that?
587
00:36:30,920 --> 00:36:31,956
Fuck the system.
588
00:36:33,320 --> 00:36:36,040
No, for real, man.
I mean, why can't we at least try?
589
00:36:36,960 --> 00:36:39,111
What is the system? It's people.
590
00:36:39,200 --> 00:36:42,477
Yeah? It's cops, lawyers, judges.
591
00:36:42,880 --> 00:36:45,111
If one of them had just cared enough
592
00:36:45,200 --> 00:36:48,352
to even go down to that hallway
Kennisha said I dragged her,
593
00:36:48,440 --> 00:36:51,512
listened to how
the tiniest little noise echoes,
594
00:36:51,600 --> 00:36:54,069
I wouldn't have this damn thing on my leg.
595
00:36:55,200 --> 00:36:56,793
- Mr. Brooks.
- Justin.
596
00:36:57,400 --> 00:36:58,595
Justin...
597
00:37:00,640 --> 00:37:02,871
I know the system doesn't care about me.
598
00:37:03,440 --> 00:37:05,238
I've known that my whole life.
599
00:37:06,440 --> 00:37:08,432
The question is, do you?
600
00:37:15,160 --> 00:37:17,629
I carry three pictures in my wallet.
601
00:37:18,160 --> 00:37:20,720
My, uh... My wife...
602
00:37:22,000 --> 00:37:25,152
my kids, and that one right there.
603
00:37:25,240 --> 00:37:26,799
That's her on the left.
604
00:37:26,880 --> 00:37:29,918
My longest-standing client,
Marilyn Mulero.
605
00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:31,798
One day I'm looking through the newspaper
606
00:37:31,880 --> 00:37:36,796
and I see that Marilyn gets
the death penalty on a plea bargain.
607
00:37:37,720 --> 00:37:39,837
I'm wondering, how's that even possible?
608
00:37:40,520 --> 00:37:42,193
To get death on a plea.
609
00:37:42,880 --> 00:37:44,314
Where's the bargain?
610
00:37:45,040 --> 00:37:46,872
So I look into it, sure enough,
611
00:37:46,960 --> 00:37:49,794
this woman here,
she's the one who pulled the trigger.
612
00:37:50,880 --> 00:37:52,758
So I find a couple of witnesses,
613
00:37:52,840 --> 00:37:54,991
I find a mountain of evidence,
614
00:37:55,800 --> 00:37:57,519
and I lose.
615
00:37:58,640 --> 00:38:00,359
Eighteen years.
616
00:38:00,440 --> 00:38:02,511
With new evidence.
617
00:38:03,840 --> 00:38:06,071
Marilyn's still behind bars.
618
00:38:07,080 --> 00:38:10,869
She's the reason I started the CIP
and I'm not giving up until she's free.
619
00:38:13,720 --> 00:38:16,076
So, yeah, I can be a little jaded.
620
00:38:16,160 --> 00:38:19,517
But every once in a while we win.
621
00:38:20,840 --> 00:38:22,559
And it's amazing,
622
00:38:23,240 --> 00:38:24,833
see an innocent person go free,
623
00:38:24,920 --> 00:38:29,233
and we do it because we bust our asses
and we know what the system wants.
624
00:38:30,360 --> 00:38:32,352
Something extraordinary.
625
00:38:33,600 --> 00:38:36,035
Now you want me to be your lawyer, Brian?
626
00:38:36,120 --> 00:38:38,840
We've already looked at your case,
talked to potential witnesses.
627
00:38:38,960 --> 00:38:41,555
I even called the parole board
about shortening your time.
628
00:38:41,640 --> 00:38:43,120
The well is dry.
629
00:38:44,240 --> 00:38:47,153
So let me tell you what I need
to argue your case.
630
00:38:47,240 --> 00:38:50,278
Not some piece of hearsay evidence
from ten years ago.
631
00:38:50,360 --> 00:38:52,670
I need something big.
632
00:38:54,000 --> 00:38:55,354
Earth-shattering.
633
00:38:57,080 --> 00:38:58,639
Extraordinary.
634
00:39:04,560 --> 00:39:05,676
Sorry.
635
00:39:51,760 --> 00:39:53,160
Just a reminder.
636
00:39:53,720 --> 00:39:55,200
You do have a family.
637
00:39:55,680 --> 00:39:56,909
Going soon.
638
00:39:57,640 --> 00:39:58,640
What is that?
639
00:40:00,560 --> 00:40:04,952
This is the hallway Brian
supposedly dragged that girl down.
640
00:40:05,440 --> 00:40:06,715
All the doors were open.
641
00:40:06,840 --> 00:40:10,038
I checked the school records.
Classrooms were full of kids.
642
00:40:10,120 --> 00:40:14,273
Ten separate classrooms.
No way nobody didn't hear something.
643
00:40:14,360 --> 00:40:16,875
Which gets rid of the kidnapping charge
right there.
644
00:40:17,360 --> 00:40:21,195
But that's still not enough
to reopen the case, is it?
645
00:40:22,160 --> 00:40:24,436
No, it's not.
646
00:40:26,640 --> 00:40:29,200
I don't understand, Justin.
647
00:40:29,320 --> 00:40:32,916
No, it's just...
It's something Brian said. It was, uh...
648
00:40:33,000 --> 00:40:34,912
I mean, we all know the system's broken.
649
00:40:35,000 --> 00:40:37,117
Which is why you started this place.
650
00:40:37,200 --> 00:40:40,432
I know, but I just don't want
to ever stop trying
651
00:40:40,520 --> 00:40:43,558
because the system
has conditioned us to stop trying.
652
00:40:46,760 --> 00:40:48,114
Go home.
653
00:40:50,280 --> 00:40:52,511
Come on. You visited this hallway.
654
00:40:53,600 --> 00:40:54,829
Go visit your family.
655
00:40:55,960 --> 00:40:57,155
Yeah.
656
00:40:58,480 --> 00:41:00,416
In other news,
the City of Long Beach
657
00:41:00,440 --> 00:41:02,352
has approved a $15 million...
658
00:41:02,480 --> 00:41:05,154
Since when did you become interested
in art museums?
659
00:41:06,320 --> 00:41:08,596
You remember that trainer
I told you about, Karina?
660
00:41:09,320 --> 00:41:10,640
So she's an artist?
661
00:41:11,760 --> 00:41:14,400
Yeah. Yeah. She just sent me this.
662
00:41:14,480 --> 00:41:15,550
Check it out.
663
00:41:18,600 --> 00:41:20,239
Baby, she painted this?
664
00:41:20,320 --> 00:41:21,549
Yep.
665
00:41:23,040 --> 00:41:24,838
So you want to take her to the museum?
666
00:41:24,960 --> 00:41:28,237
Just to thank her
for all the free training sessions.
667
00:41:28,880 --> 00:41:31,873
But there's some special exhibit
going on right now
668
00:41:31,960 --> 00:41:33,394
and the ticket prices are crazy.
669
00:41:33,880 --> 00:41:36,998
- I don't...
- Boom. Get the tickets, baby.
670
00:41:37,440 --> 00:41:40,956
Oh, Ma, come on.
Look, I know things are tight right now.
671
00:41:41,040 --> 00:41:42,880
I mean, barely made
the car payment last month.
672
00:41:42,960 --> 00:41:44,599
The car payment can wait.
673
00:41:45,360 --> 00:41:46,953
Your happiness can't.
674
00:41:53,840 --> 00:41:55,832
Brian, you deserve happiness.
675
00:41:56,640 --> 00:41:59,712
Not shame, not guilt.
676
00:41:59,800 --> 00:42:01,359
Happiness.
677
00:42:03,480 --> 00:42:04,596
Thanks, Mom.
678
00:42:07,320 --> 00:42:08,754

702
00:43:05,240 --> 00:43:07,550
- This is Brian.
- What the hell are you doin', Banks?
703
00:43:07,640 --> 00:43:09,438
Two thousand feet, remember?
704
00:43:09,520 --> 00:43:11,591
- What?
- Look out the window.
705
00:43:12,160 --> 00:43:14,356
Look out the goddamn window.
706
00:43:16,600 --> 00:43:19,752
Does that look like 2,000 feet?
Get out of there, now.
707
00:43:23,520 --> 00:43:24,795
What the...
708
00:43:33,720 --> 00:43:35,234
Is everything okay?
709
00:43:37,280 --> 00:43:38,873
I-I can't be here.
710
00:43:40,520 --> 00:43:43,035
- Okay.
- I'm sorry. I should have checked.
711
00:43:43,120 --> 00:43:46,272
I just got so excited with the art,
you know, and...
712
00:43:47,800 --> 00:43:52,556
But hey, I got a chance to see
your kind of art, right?
713
00:43:53,840 --> 00:43:55,877
Would you mind if I showed you mine?
714
00:43:57,960 --> 00:43:59,076
Okay.
715
00:44:01,320 --> 00:44:03,198
Yeah, okay. Yeah, let's go.
716
00:44:03,600 --> 00:44:04,829

720
00:44:11,640 --> 00:44:14,235
Brian, this is some canvas.
721
00:44:15,680 --> 00:44:18,957
I remember going to my first USC game
when I was 15.
722
00:44:19,040 --> 00:44:22,477
I went with my mom and my brother Brandon.
I was sitting right up there.
723
00:44:22,560 --> 00:44:25,075
Section 6, seat 14.
724
00:44:25,160 --> 00:44:26,913
The best part wasn't even the game.
725
00:44:27,000 --> 00:44:29,959
The best part was just watching
my mom be so happy
726
00:44:30,040 --> 00:44:31,554
because I was so happy.
727
00:44:34,040 --> 00:44:35,190
Hey...
728
00:44:36,240 --> 00:44:38,436
I'm sorry about today, Karina.
729
00:44:39,480 --> 00:44:42,075
I didn't even know what it meant
when I took that plea.
730
00:44:42,840 --> 00:44:46,834
All I knew was that I just didn't want
to spend the rest of my life in jail.
731
00:44:48,240 --> 00:44:50,914
My cousin went to prison.
732
00:44:52,680 --> 00:44:55,320
And when he came out
he just wasn't the same.
733
00:44:56,880 --> 00:44:58,792
And you were, what, 16?
734
00:45:00,040 --> 00:45:01,474
How did you survive it?
735
00:45:02,200 --> 00:45:03,554
I almost didn't.
736
00:45:04,400 --> 00:45:06,073
Especially in the beginning.
737
00:45:08,240 --> 00:45:11,677
Then I met a man
who showed me a different way.
738
00:45:12,960 --> 00:45:14,838
And everything changed.
739
00:45:16,160 --> 00:45:18,516
Two men look out from prison bars.
740
00:45:18,600 --> 00:45:20,512
One saw mud...
741
00:45:21,480 --> 00:45:24,040
the other the stars.
742
00:45:25,040 --> 00:45:26,679
Perspective, gentlemen.
743
00:45:27,440 --> 00:45:31,832
Perspective is the key
to how one fares in life.
744
00:45:33,840 --> 00:45:35,399
Mr. Banks, what do you think?
745
00:45:37,560 --> 00:45:39,870
I don't think none of this shit
apply to me.
746
00:45:41,000 --> 00:45:43,560
Then you need this class more than most.
747
00:45:45,200 --> 00:45:46,680
Thank you, gentlemen.
748
00:45:53,720 --> 00:45:54,995
Mr. Banks.
749
00:45:56,040 --> 00:45:57,110
Brian.
750
00:46:00,280 --> 00:46:04,433
I know you think football
is the pathway to happiness.
751
00:46:04,520 --> 00:46:06,751
But on my life, son,
752
00:46:06,840 --> 00:46:08,911
I promise you that it is not.
753
00:46:10,120 --> 00:46:14,990
The path to happiness
begins and ends... in the mind.
754
00:46:16,280 --> 00:46:18,033
Free your mind, Brian.
755
00:46:19,000 --> 00:46:20,912
And your ass will follow.
756
00:46:24,040 --> 00:46:25,633
Before him...
757
00:46:26,480 --> 00:46:28,676
all I could think was, why me?
758
00:46:45,880 --> 00:46:47,109
All right, look...
759
00:46:48,840 --> 00:46:52,993
I don't know exactly what it is
you're going through,
760
00:46:54,400 --> 00:46:56,312
but you've got to let it go.
761
00:46:57,040 --> 00:46:59,236
Or it's gonna pull you down.
762
00:47:00,800 --> 00:47:04,714
How you got here may be wrong,
but the fact is you are here.
763
00:47:05,240 --> 00:47:07,471
And before you leave this place
physically,
764
00:47:07,560 --> 00:47:09,916
you must leave it mentally.
765
00:47:11,360 --> 00:47:12,874
Or you'll be back.
766
00:47:26,640 --> 00:47:28,393
This is for you.
767
00:47:31,080 --> 00:47:33,640
I might give you more books
from time to time.
768
00:47:34,280 --> 00:47:36,033
Books I hope you'll read.
769
00:47:57,400 --> 00:48:00,313
I wish I could say I got it
from the start,
770
00:48:00,400 --> 00:48:01,754
but I was scared.
771
00:48:02,680 --> 00:48:04,399
Scared my life was over.
772
00:48:05,120 --> 00:48:07,316
Then this dude,
doesn't know nothing about me,
773
00:48:07,400 --> 00:48:08,914
he's talking about helping me?
774
00:48:09,640 --> 00:48:11,996
Was this the kind of help
that my lawyer gave me?
775
00:48:12,560 --> 00:48:14,392
So, yeah, I was skeptical.
776
00:48:16,520 --> 00:48:19,096
And right when I'm trying to understand
everything he's teaching me,
777
00:48:19,120 --> 00:48:20,634
I get transferred.
778
00:48:21,280 --> 00:48:22,714
Didn't see him again.
779
00:48:24,520 --> 00:48:27,274
And that's when prison had its own ideas.
780
00:49:01,440 --> 00:49:03,193
What's up, homie?
781
00:49:03,280 --> 00:49:07,911
- You got a problem, bitch?
- No. I ain't got no problem.
782
00:49:08,920 --> 00:49:10,149
B87.
783
00:49:10,880 --> 00:49:12,200
Gate's open.
784
00:49:17,880 --> 00:49:22,159
In prison, it's the not knowing
that gets to you.
785
00:49:23,600 --> 00:49:26,752
Not knowing what's on
the other side of a door,
786
00:49:26,840 --> 00:49:29,878
not knowing if you'll make it out alive.
787
00:49:38,200 --> 00:49:39,236
What's up, homie?
788
00:49:40,400 --> 00:49:45,429
But sometimes you gotta walk deeper
into the darkness to find the light.
789
00:49:45,520 --> 00:49:47,273
- Hey, Banks, get up!
- Let's go!
790
00:49:47,360 --> 00:49:48,760
Up. Now.
791
00:49:48,880 --> 00:49:50,280
You broke his jaw, Banks.
792
00:49:50,360 --> 00:49:52,556
Don't you ever want to get out of here?
793
00:49:52,640 --> 00:49:55,200
Sixty days. Think about it.
794
00:49:56,280 --> 00:49:58,272
That was solitary for me.
795
00:50:30,760 --> 00:50:32,956
...two, three, four...
796
00:50:37,360 --> 00:50:39,317
I don't even feel you no more, God.
797
00:50:40,680 --> 00:50:42,114
I can't feel you.
798
00:51:01,560 --> 00:51:04,519
Brian, we need you back in the game.
799
00:51:13,840 --> 00:51:17,800
Hey. You think they give a shit about you?
800
00:51:18,280 --> 00:51:20,840
About how twisted up
and pissed off you are?
801
00:51:21,280 --> 00:51:24,000
They don't even remember your name. Shit.
802
00:51:38,240 --> 00:51:39,356
Brian.
803
00:51:43,280 --> 00:51:45,112
You've got to let it go.
804
00:51:46,160 --> 00:51:48,914
You've got to let it all go
805
00:51:49,360 --> 00:51:51,556
or it's going to pull you down.
806
00:51:52,960 --> 00:51:55,429
All you can control in life...
807
00:51:55,520 --> 00:51:57,000
This is for you.
808
00:52:03,480 --> 00:52:05,358
Is how you respond to life.
809
00:52:44,760 --> 00:52:46,672
It's strange.
810
00:52:46,760 --> 00:52:50,436
I didn't see Mr. Johnson
after that first year in juvie.
811
00:52:51,960 --> 00:52:54,191
But he's been with me every day since.
812
00:53:01,240 --> 00:53:02,469
Listen, I...
813
00:53:03,800 --> 00:53:05,473
I want to be honest with you.
814
00:53:06,240 --> 00:53:07,640
I, um...
815
00:53:08,360 --> 00:53:10,511
I told you I put off grad school.
816
00:53:12,000 --> 00:53:13,719
But I didn't say why.
817
00:53:15,920 --> 00:53:18,992
Why I reacted when I heard your story.
818
00:53:22,960 --> 00:53:24,030
I...
819
00:53:24,120 --> 00:53:28,637
I didn't have the best experience
in college, and...
820
00:53:37,400 --> 00:53:38,754
Who was he?
821
00:53:41,640 --> 00:53:42,960
A friend.
822
00:53:44,280 --> 00:53:45,396
I thought.
823
00:53:47,320 --> 00:53:48,356
Uh...
824
00:53:49,560 --> 00:53:52,200
he said he couldn't remember me saying no.
825
00:53:53,480 --> 00:53:55,915
Said I could have gotten those bruises
from anywhere.
826
00:53:58,440 --> 00:54:01,911
The cops were like,
"Sure you're not overreacting?"
827
00:54:02,320 --> 00:54:04,357
And when the school...
828
00:54:05,760 --> 00:54:07,035
did nothing...
829
00:54:08,000 --> 00:54:09,070
I left.
830
00:54:11,360 --> 00:54:13,033
I'm sorry.
831
00:54:15,600 --> 00:54:19,753
I don't even know how you could
hang with me after hearing my story.
832
00:54:24,600 --> 00:54:26,557
Well, I couldn't at first.
833
00:54:29,320 --> 00:54:30,913
But then I got to know you.
834
00:55:12,920 --> 00:55:15,071
No, can't do that.
835
00:55:15,880 --> 00:55:17,234
Can't do that.
836
00:55:36,280 --> 00:55:39,910
Here we go.
We are set, and there's the snap.
837
00:55:42,160 --> 00:55:44,755
Here he comes,
and that'll be a first down.
838
00:55:44,840 --> 00:55:45,876
Whoo!
839
00:55:45,960 --> 00:55:48,919
What a way to freakin' pass, baby!
Yeah, baby!
840
00:55:49,000 --> 00:55:51,754
And Coach Pete Carroll
calls another time-out.
841
00:55:51,840 --> 00:55:53,176
I gotta tell you, Eddie,
842
00:55:53,200 --> 00:55:54,936
when it comes to Coach Carroll
there's no quit.
843
00:55:54,960 --> 00:55:57,395
And, yeah, the players
really believe in him.
844
00:55:57,480 --> 00:56:00,080
They believe in the system.
He brings a lot of energy to the team.
845
00:56:00,120 --> 00:56:02,715
And I think Carroll coming on
to the Seahawks
846
00:56:02,800 --> 00:56:04,996
is the best decision they could have made.
847
00:56:26,480 --> 00:56:28,039
Oh, shit.
848
00:56:28,600 --> 00:56:29,600
Oh, shit.
849
00:56:30,360 --> 00:56:31,476
Oh, shit.
850
00:56:58,760 --> 00:57:00,240
"Bygones be..."
851
00:57:56,240 --> 00:57:57,390
Hello?
852
00:57:58,960 --> 00:58:00,076
Hello?
853
00:58:01,560 --> 00:58:04,200
- Kennisha?
- Hey.
854
00:58:07,720 --> 00:58:08,870
Hey.
855
00:58:10,880 --> 00:58:12,200
So, um...
856
00:58:14,440 --> 00:58:19,834
I-I guess I'm still wonderin' why you
sent me a friend request like that.
857
00:58:19,920 --> 00:58:23,516
Yeah. I wasn't even sure you would answer.
858
00:58:24,280 --> 00:58:27,876
So I was just lookin' through people
I know from high school,
859
00:58:28,640 --> 00:58:30,597
and I saw your page.
860
00:58:31,440 --> 00:58:32,954
And I was like...
861
00:58:33,600 --> 00:58:35,273
"You look good."
862
00:58:36,840 --> 00:58:39,514
But I was thinking maybe we could,
863
00:58:40,240 --> 00:58:43,950
I don't know, hang out or something?
864
00:58:44,800 --> 00:58:46,359
Hang... Hang out?
865
00:58:47,680 --> 00:58:50,240
Can you understand
why that might seem a little weird to me
866
00:58:50,320 --> 00:58:52,198
that you'd want to do that?
867
00:58:53,160 --> 00:58:54,913
I was in prison.
868
00:58:55,000 --> 00:58:58,072
I can't work. I can't play football.
869
00:58:58,760 --> 00:59:01,275
Things have been pretty tough
for me, Kennisha.
870
00:59:01,360 --> 00:59:05,832
So, I guess that mean
you ain't trying to hang out, then?
871
00:59:09,760 --> 00:59:12,116
Uh, well, uh...
872
00:59:14,920 --> 00:59:16,320
Well, maybe we could.
873
00:59:17,600 --> 00:59:18,750
Yeah, maybe we could.
874
00:59:18,840 --> 00:59:21,071
Truth is, I'm just stuck.
875
00:59:22,600 --> 00:59:25,240
And you're the only one
who can help me get unstuck.
876
00:59:26,200 --> 00:59:29,159
I mean, you're the only other one
who knows what really happened.
877
00:59:29,600 --> 00:59:32,274
And if you did help me,
878
00:59:32,360 --> 00:59:35,080
then we would never have
to talk about this stuff again.
879
00:59:36,080 --> 00:59:37,480
All right, well...
880
00:59:38,440 --> 00:59:40,352
what is it you need me to do?
881
00:59:45,360 --> 00:59:48,637
Brian, if they find out
you went anywhere near that girl,
882
00:59:48,720 --> 00:59:50,240
they'll send you right back to prison.
883
00:59:50,960 --> 00:59:52,792
That's why nobody's gonna find out.
884
00:59:53,240 --> 00:59:55,357
Okay, please,
let's think about this some more.
885
00:59:55,440 --> 00:59:57,671
You only have ten months left
on your parole.
886
00:59:57,760 --> 00:59:59,433
But I'm still gonna be on that damn list.
887
00:59:59,520 --> 01:00:01,576
Nobody's gonna ever hire me
if I don't clear my name.
888
01:00:01,600 --> 01:00:05,594
- Well, then let the attorneys handle this.
- What attorneys, Ma? Who?
889
01:00:05,680 --> 01:00:08,149
The CIP? I ain't heard from 'em in weeks.
890
01:00:08,680 --> 01:00:11,400
Besides, Kennisha already said
she ain't going nowhere near a lawyer.
891
01:00:12,040 --> 01:00:14,999
The only person she agreed to talk to
was Corey's friend.
892
01:00:15,080 --> 01:00:16,833
You remember Corey from the gym?
893
01:00:16,920 --> 01:00:20,596
So, look, he's got a friend,
been selling insurance for a little bit,
894
01:00:20,720 --> 01:00:22,376
but he's starting up
his own PI firm, right?
895
01:00:22,400 --> 01:00:25,154
So we all got together, we got a plan.
Trust me, we got a plan.
896
01:00:25,240 --> 01:00:27,675
- An insurance agent, Brian?
- Mom, Mom.
897
01:00:28,120 --> 01:00:29,998
Sometimes things come your way
898
01:00:30,080 --> 01:00:31,958
and you have to act on 'em
right then and there
899
01:00:32,040 --> 01:00:33,759
or else you won't have another chance.
900
01:00:35,920 --> 01:00:37,479
This is my chance.
901
01:00:38,200 --> 01:00:39,475
Okay?
902
01:00:56,120 --> 01:00:57,120
Brian.
903
01:01:08,320 --> 01:01:09,640
Hey.
904
01:01:11,040 --> 01:01:13,555
I wasn't sure if this is the right place.
905
01:01:13,640 --> 01:01:14,960
You found it.
906
01:01:15,600 --> 01:01:17,239
I was nervous about comin'.
907
01:01:17,360 --> 01:01:19,875
Yeah, shit,
I've been kinda nervous myself.
908
01:01:20,640 --> 01:01:22,438
Did I tell you
I got three little ones now?
909
01:01:22,520 --> 01:01:25,080
- You got three kids?
- Yeah.
910
01:01:25,200 --> 01:01:26,416
But there's some drama goin' on
with all that,
911
01:01:26,440 --> 01:01:28,955
so that's why I told you
I don't want to talk to no lawyers.
912
01:01:29,080 --> 01:01:31,197
Oh. No, this guy's not...
913
01:01:31,280 --> 01:01:34,478
He's not a lawyer.
He's more like an adviser, so...
914
01:01:37,960 --> 01:01:39,997
- So, Ms. Reed...
- Rice.
915
01:01:40,840 --> 01:01:43,400
Oh, I'm sorry. Ms. Rice.
916
01:01:43,480 --> 01:01:47,156
I understand from Brian there are some
things that you guys wanted to discuss.
917
01:01:47,240 --> 01:01:49,311
Yeah, uh...
918
01:01:49,400 --> 01:01:52,950
Well, we wanted to talk to you
about what happened in 2002.
919
01:01:53,720 --> 01:01:57,714
Okay. Ms. Rice,
is that what you want to do?
920
01:01:58,240 --> 01:01:59,594
I guess so.
921
01:02:00,320 --> 01:02:03,552
I mean, Brian ain't playing in the NFL
right now. I guess that's 'cause of me.
922
01:02:04,520 --> 01:02:06,318
So you want to help him.
923
01:02:06,400 --> 01:02:09,837
Well, I can't do nothing where I gotta
pay back none of the money or anything.
924
01:02:09,920 --> 01:02:11,559
That would take a long time.
925
01:02:12,160 --> 01:02:14,197
Okay, and I understand.
926
01:02:14,280 --> 01:02:18,115
This is just for my own education
so that I can offer advice.
927
01:02:18,200 --> 01:02:19,953
Now...
928
01:02:20,040 --> 01:02:22,999
take me back to the incident in 2002
929
01:02:23,640 --> 01:02:25,632
and just tell me how you see it.
930
01:02:26,440 --> 01:02:28,113
Um...
931
01:02:28,200 --> 01:02:30,760
Well, I guess the way I look at it is,
932
01:02:30,840 --> 01:02:34,754
we was just being young,
curious about things.
933
01:02:34,840 --> 01:02:37,674
Okay, so you're saying that
934
01:02:37,760 --> 01:02:39,752
he never raped you.
935
01:02:39,840 --> 01:02:41,513
I don't like using that word.
936
01:02:41,600 --> 01:02:43,876
Well, then tell me what happened.
937
01:02:43,960 --> 01:02:45,872
Well, after we was down there
938
01:02:45,960 --> 01:02:47,872
and he went out the door
and I went my way,
939
01:02:47,960 --> 01:02:49,679
there was this security guard.
940
01:02:49,760 --> 01:02:51,592
Hey!
941
01:02:51,680 --> 01:02:54,718
You know, I saw you with that boy.
942
01:02:54,800 --> 01:02:56,678
Y'all went in the 700 building,
didn't you?
943
01:02:56,760 --> 01:02:58,831
I know what you kids do in there.
944
01:02:58,960 --> 01:03:00,474
Well, it wasn't my idea.
945
01:03:00,560 --> 01:03:01,960
- Whose was it?
- His!
946
01:03:02,040 --> 01:03:03,040
Oh.
947
01:03:03,120 --> 01:03:06,750
So you're saying he made you go in there,
made you do stuff.
948
01:03:07,960 --> 01:03:10,350
So if that's true,
you're saying he raped you.
949
01:03:10,440 --> 01:03:12,238
Is that what you're saying?
950
01:03:13,080 --> 01:03:15,231
So I wasn't the first person
to use that word.
951
01:03:15,320 --> 01:03:16,993
So the security guard said it first.
952
01:03:17,080 --> 01:03:19,816
Then you wrote it down on a piece of paper
and gave it to your friend?
953
01:03:19,840 --> 01:03:20,876
Mm-hmm.
954
01:03:21,440 --> 01:03:24,433
Okay, did you tell any of these people
955
01:03:24,520 --> 01:03:26,796
that you and Brian
were just kissing and heavy petting
956
01:03:26,880 --> 01:03:28,917
and that you didn't actually have sex?
957
01:03:29,000 --> 01:03:31,799
Nobody was listening
to anything I had to say.
958
01:03:31,880 --> 01:03:34,679
My attorney was like,
"Just don't say nothin'.
959
01:03:34,760 --> 01:03:37,229
Don't talk at all.
Just let them do what they gonna do."
960
01:03:37,800 --> 01:03:39,632
Okay, so, to be clear,
961
01:03:41,040 --> 01:03:42,713
Brian never raped you.
962
01:03:47,280 --> 01:03:48,634
No, he did not rape me.
963
01:03:53,760 --> 01:03:55,353
Did he kidnap you?
964
01:03:56,240 --> 01:03:57,310
Never.
965
01:04:02,840 --> 01:04:03,876
Alissa.
966
01:04:07,880 --> 01:04:11,191
To be clear, Brian never raped you.
967
01:04:11,280 --> 01:04:12,919
No, he did not rape me.
968
01:04:14,600 --> 01:04:16,193
Did he kidnap you?
969
01:04:16,280 --> 01:04:17,280
Never.
970
01:04:24,240 --> 01:04:25,833
Amazing.
971
01:04:25,920 --> 01:04:27,877
A full recantation on tape.
972
01:04:31,360 --> 01:04:34,637
And she knew, right?
This guy told her she was being taped.
973
01:04:35,800 --> 01:04:38,110
Uh, no. No. No.
974
01:04:38,200 --> 01:04:41,750
But he did have a sign on the wall
that said the room was being monitored.
975
01:04:45,960 --> 01:04:49,078
A sign on the wall. That's it?
976
01:04:50,640 --> 01:04:51,960
Ju... J-Justin.
977
01:04:53,280 --> 01:04:55,749
This is what you said I needed...
something extraordinary.
978
01:04:55,840 --> 01:04:59,720
This is what I brought you.
Kennisha, she's telling the truth.
979
01:04:59,800 --> 01:05:01,632
It's amazing, Brian.
980
01:05:01,720 --> 01:05:03,154
It really is.
981
01:05:04,160 --> 01:05:05,753
I've never seen anything like it.
982
01:05:06,720 --> 01:05:08,040
But it's also...
983
01:05:08,120 --> 01:05:09,713
It's inadmissible.
984
01:05:12,320 --> 01:05:13,549
You can't use it.
985
01:05:14,560 --> 01:05:16,995
You can't record somebody
in the State of California
986
01:05:17,080 --> 01:05:18,639
without their explicit consent.
987
01:05:19,640 --> 01:05:23,316
Come on. We got her sitting there,
right on tape, telling the truth.
988
01:05:23,440 --> 01:05:25,079
You're telling me I can't show anybody?
989
01:05:25,160 --> 01:05:28,676
What are the chances of getting her
to say it again, on the record?
990
01:05:28,760 --> 01:05:30,911
No chance! PI already scared her off.
991
01:05:31,000 --> 01:05:33,720
I was trying to get her
to sign something at the end.
992
01:05:33,800 --> 01:05:35,616
Once she knows she perjured herself
and could lose the money,
993
01:05:35,640 --> 01:05:37,438
she's gonna recant to her recantation.
994
01:05:37,520 --> 01:05:38,590
Yeah.
995
01:05:38,680 --> 01:05:40,956
Brian, I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
996
01:05:41,720 --> 01:05:44,394
I wish you'd have called us
before you reached out.
997
01:05:44,480 --> 01:05:48,076
You wish I would've called you?
You wish I would've called you?
998
01:05:48,160 --> 01:05:50,072
You know why I didn't call you, Justin?
999
01:05:50,160 --> 01:05:53,551
Because every time I throw you a pass
you bat it down, like you're doing now.
1000
01:05:53,640 --> 01:05:54,915
That's not what we're doing.
1001
01:05:55,000 --> 01:05:57,754
Come at me with all these legal excuses
about the system,
1002
01:05:57,840 --> 01:05:59,240
about how the truth doesn't matter.
1003
01:05:59,320 --> 01:06:01,880
- The truth matters!
- I know it matters.
1004
01:06:02,840 --> 01:06:04,240
I know that. Okay?
1005
01:06:04,320 --> 01:06:08,394
And that tape is extraordinary. I agree.
1006
01:06:08,480 --> 01:06:11,154
- But I can't do anything legally...
- Okay, okay.
1007
01:06:11,240 --> 01:06:13,550
Stop. Okay?
1008
01:06:13,640 --> 01:06:16,109
You know what, man? Forget the tape. Okay?
1009
01:06:19,840 --> 01:06:21,559
You want extraordinary?
1010
01:06:22,840 --> 01:06:26,390
I'll tell you what's extraordinary
about this case.
1011
01:06:27,280 --> 01:06:28,350
I am.
1012
01:06:30,520 --> 01:06:33,513
It's extraordinary that I'm still here.
1013
01:06:35,080 --> 01:06:36,719
That I'm still standing.
1014
01:06:38,320 --> 01:06:39,879
You ever been in prison?
1015
01:06:40,640 --> 01:06:43,678
I'm not talking about to visit one of
your clients. You ever been locked up?
1016
01:06:45,520 --> 01:06:47,591
I spent my 17th birthday
1017
01:06:47,680 --> 01:06:50,434
and the 60 days after that
in solitary confinement.
1018
01:06:50,520 --> 01:06:52,113
It nearly killed me.
1019
01:06:54,080 --> 01:06:57,756
And the only reason it didn't
is because something happened to me.
1020
01:06:57,840 --> 01:06:59,752
Something extraordinary.
1021
01:06:59,840 --> 01:07:02,435
Someone extraordinary.
1022
01:07:11,640 --> 01:07:16,032
I've done everything I can on my own...
1023
01:07:17,200 --> 01:07:18,793
to get myself free.
1024
01:07:18,880 --> 01:07:23,079
There's only one other person who can get
me the rest of the way, and that's you.
1025
01:07:23,160 --> 01:07:24,719
So I'm begging you.
1026
01:07:26,200 --> 01:07:29,272
Forget all the rules.
Forget all the reasons.
1027
01:07:29,360 --> 01:07:32,353
Forget all the roadblocks
they put in our way.
1028
01:07:33,080 --> 01:07:36,312
I know the system doesn't care
about me, Justin. I know.
1029
01:07:37,400 --> 01:07:39,039
But I know you do.
1030
01:07:43,160 --> 01:07:44,719
Help set me free.
1031
01:07:54,080 --> 01:07:55,080
Okay.
1032
01:08:00,040 --> 01:08:01,156
Okay?
1033
01:08:05,640 --> 01:08:06,640
Okay.
1034
01:08:12,760 --> 01:08:13,989
Okay.
1035
01:08:14,080 --> 01:08:15,992
Brian Banks lost ten years of his life.
1036
01:08:16,080 --> 01:08:18,151
We have ten months to clear his name. Why?
1037
01:08:18,280 --> 01:08:20,476
Because the habeas petition
will only be considered
1038
01:08:20,560 --> 01:08:22,313
while you're still
under state supervision.
1039
01:08:22,400 --> 01:08:25,393
That's right. If we can't get this thing
overturned within ten months,
1040
01:08:25,480 --> 01:08:27,278
before his parole runs out,
1041
01:08:27,360 --> 01:08:29,079
he's guilty the rest of his life.
1042
01:08:29,160 --> 01:08:32,073
99% of all habeas petitions get rejected,
1043
01:08:32,160 --> 01:08:34,760
so just getting the DA to pay attention
to this is gonna be tough.
1044
01:08:34,800 --> 01:08:37,554
Hey, Barbara. Justin Brooks again.
1045
01:08:37,640 --> 01:08:39,154
Hey, is Rafael in?
1046
01:08:39,240 --> 01:08:41,038
He'll have to get back to you, Mr. Brooks.
1047
01:08:41,120 --> 01:08:44,113
All right, as soon as he can, please.
Thank you.
1048
01:08:45,320 --> 01:08:47,280
So while I'm trying to force him
to pay attention,
1049
01:08:47,360 --> 01:08:49,795
Alissa will put together a new petition
1050
01:08:49,880 --> 01:08:52,315
while, Marilyn,
you try to track down Kennisha Rice
1051
01:08:52,440 --> 01:08:54,193
and get her on the record this time.
1052
01:08:54,280 --> 01:08:56,351
Now just remember, and this is critical,
1053
01:08:56,440 --> 01:08:59,478
if the court doesn't schedule us ASAP,
Brian's gonna run out of time.
1054
01:08:59,560 --> 01:09:03,520
Brian's the same age as some of you.
He should've gone to college by now.
1055
01:09:03,600 --> 01:09:05,353
He should be playing in the NFL.
1056
01:09:05,440 --> 01:09:08,478
Hey, we found Mateo.
He's on the Loller case, LA Superior.
1057
01:09:08,960 --> 01:09:12,112
And the reason he isn't
is not just because a girl lied.
1058
01:09:13,840 --> 01:09:17,151
It's because the system didn't care
about the truth in the first place.
1059
01:09:19,000 --> 01:09:21,276
Well, in the words of somebody
I greatly admire,
1060
01:09:21,800 --> 01:09:23,154
fuck the system.
1061
01:09:27,040 --> 01:09:28,997
- It was a good day.
- Yeah.
1062
01:09:31,560 --> 01:09:34,632
Well, if it isn't
our elusive district attorney.
1063
01:09:35,720 --> 01:09:38,030
- Mr. Brooks.
- How you doing? I've been looking for you.
1064
01:09:38,120 --> 01:09:39,896
Aren't we seeing each other for Leftowich
in three weeks?
1065
01:09:39,920 --> 01:09:41,434
This can't wait three weeks.
1066
01:09:41,520 --> 01:09:44,797
I'm representing Brian Banks,
falsely accused of rape.
1067
01:09:44,880 --> 01:09:47,349
The girl's recanted her story.
We got it all on tape.
1068
01:09:47,440 --> 01:09:50,877
- Let me guess. You want me to look at it.
- I want you to meet Brian Banks.
1069
01:09:50,960 --> 01:09:53,395
He's an amazing kid.
Could have played pro ball.
1070
01:09:53,480 --> 01:09:57,190
I'm telling you, this is gonna blow up.
Media's gonna be all over it.
1071
01:09:57,280 --> 01:09:59,351
Chance for you to jump in
and control the spin.
1072
01:09:59,440 --> 01:10:01,875
And you are the master spinner,
aren't you, Mr. Brooks?
1073
01:10:02,520 --> 01:10:04,113
Well, I'm a lawyer, so...
1074
01:10:04,760 --> 01:10:05,830
it's redundant.
1075
01:10:08,240 --> 01:10:10,709
Come on, Rafael. The kid's different.
1076
01:10:13,520 --> 01:10:15,239
Have your client here in 90 minutes.
1077
01:10:15,320 --> 01:10:17,437
Otherwise, he waits in line
like everyone else.
1078
01:10:23,280 --> 01:10:24,280
Hey, Justin.
1079
01:10:24,360 --> 01:10:26,272
You got a jacket and a tie?
1080
01:10:27,640 --> 01:10:28,835
I look okay?
1081
01:10:29,480 --> 01:10:31,790
Ain't nothing okay about the way you look.
1082
01:10:32,720 --> 01:10:33,790
Now go.
1083
01:10:36,960 --> 01:10:39,714
Please do not tell me
this is another bad decision.
1084
01:10:40,760 --> 01:10:43,400
I'm gonna start calling you
Bad Decision Banks.
1085
01:10:43,480 --> 01:10:45,711
- I have a job interview, sir.
- Oh, yeah?
1086
01:10:45,800 --> 01:10:48,838
Like the one in San Diego
when you were meeting with that lawyer?
1087
01:10:49,520 --> 01:10:51,352
I got my sources.
1088
01:10:51,440 --> 01:10:54,558
- Give me the keys, Banks.
- Sir, I really have...
1089
01:10:54,640 --> 01:10:56,632
Give me the goddamn keys, Banks.
1090
01:11:01,000 --> 01:11:04,277
Yeah, I got him.
1091
01:11:05,680 --> 01:11:07,273
- Where's your guy?
- Hey.
1092
01:11:08,080 --> 01:11:10,197
He's coming. He's just...
1093
01:11:10,280 --> 01:11:11,634
Let me get you a cup of coffee.
1094
01:11:13,080 --> 01:11:14,673
Nice try, Mr. Brooks. Time's up.
1095
01:11:15,800 --> 01:11:19,032
Nobody from the DA's office
ever visited the crime scene.
1096
01:11:20,200 --> 01:11:21,236
I did.
1097
01:11:21,320 --> 01:11:24,631
I saw where this girl claims
she was dragged down a hallway
1098
01:11:24,720 --> 01:11:28,600
lined with open classrooms,
full of students, and forcibly raped.
1099
01:11:29,080 --> 01:11:30,992
Nobody saw it, nobody heard it.
1100
01:11:32,160 --> 01:11:33,276
Hey.
1101
01:11:34,000 --> 01:11:36,879
You think the press is gonna wonder
why you and your investigators
1102
01:11:36,960 --> 01:11:38,792
never checked this place out?
1103
01:11:41,040 --> 01:11:42,554
Sir, this is my mom's car.
1104
01:11:42,640 --> 01:11:45,553
My mom.
There aren't any drugs in there, I swear.
1105
01:11:45,640 --> 01:11:47,552
Good. So you got nothing to worry about.
1106
01:11:47,640 --> 01:11:49,632
Why you going to LA?
1107
01:11:49,720 --> 01:11:52,758
You know you can't take a job
outside the district.
1108
01:11:52,840 --> 01:11:55,071
The job's local.
Corporate headquarters are in LA.
1109
01:11:57,160 --> 01:11:58,355
Car's clean.
1110
01:12:00,680 --> 01:12:03,320
You better not be lying to me, Banks.
1111
01:12:03,880 --> 01:12:06,031
Straight there and straight back.
1112
01:12:06,120 --> 01:12:10,433
'Cause if you so much as pull over
to piss, you'll be back behind bars.
1113
01:12:15,760 --> 01:12:17,831
- Where are you?
- I'm on my way.
1114
01:12:17,920 --> 01:12:21,072
My PO was busting my ass. I'll be there.
1115
01:12:33,560 --> 01:12:35,552
Hey. I'm sorry, man.
1116
01:12:36,600 --> 01:12:39,638
Save it for the DA. Mateo's in a mood.
1117
01:12:46,440 --> 01:12:48,875
Mr. Brooks says
you filed the habeas petition yourself.
1118
01:12:48,960 --> 01:12:50,440
Yes, sir.
1119
01:12:50,520 --> 01:12:53,274
Read the California Appeals Code
while I was in prison.
1120
01:12:55,520 --> 01:12:58,274
Why do you think she lied, Mr. Banks?
1121
01:12:58,360 --> 01:13:01,910
She was a 15-year-old girl with her whole
life ahead of her. Why would she lie?
1122
01:13:02,720 --> 01:13:05,110
I've asked myself that a thousand times.
1123
01:13:05,920 --> 01:13:07,718
Maybe it was the money.
1124
01:13:08,400 --> 01:13:09,959
Maybe I hurt her feelings.
1125
01:13:10,760 --> 01:13:14,515
But with all due respect, sir,
I don't know why it's my responsibility
1126
01:13:14,600 --> 01:13:16,990
to explain why she lied.
1127
01:13:17,120 --> 01:13:18,600
The fact is, she did.
1128
01:13:19,280 --> 01:13:22,512
Her testimony changed every time.
Mine never did.
1129
01:13:23,640 --> 01:13:27,520
Mr. Mateo, I don't wish any ill will
towards Kennisha.
1130
01:13:28,200 --> 01:13:32,240
I just want a chance to turn all this
negativity into something positive.
1131
01:13:36,760 --> 01:13:38,831
- Has she gone on the record?
- No.
1132
01:13:38,920 --> 01:13:40,832
We're having a hard time
tracking her down.
1133
01:13:40,920 --> 01:13:42,479
I need to speak with her.
1134
01:13:43,600 --> 01:13:45,353
I won't recommended
reversing any conviction
1135
01:13:45,480 --> 01:13:47,153
until I interview the victim myself.
1136
01:13:51,080 --> 01:13:54,391
- Tell me we're getting close.
- Absolutely. You did great in there.
1137
01:13:54,480 --> 01:13:56,312
We just gotta get her to show up.
1138
01:13:56,400 --> 01:13:58,551
- What does that mean?
- It's not gonna be easy.
1139
01:13:58,640 --> 01:14:02,475
If the State finds out she lied, she could
lose the whole settlement, the 1.5.
1140
01:14:02,560 --> 01:14:05,536
Well, Kennisha doesn't know that.
Ain't no way she told her mom she flipped.
1141
01:14:05,560 --> 01:14:08,598
I know, I know, but I've seen
this sort of thing before.
1142
01:14:08,680 --> 01:14:11,991
- Witnesses, they stay hidden, unless...
- Unless?
1143
01:14:12,960 --> 01:14:15,429
No. No, no, no, Brian. You can't.
1144
01:14:15,520 --> 01:14:16,749
I can't what?
1145
01:14:18,760 --> 01:14:22,117
I've gone to reporters before to help me
find a witness or get them to talk.
1146
01:14:22,840 --> 01:14:26,595
Sometimes when you go public,
people want to defend themselves.
1147
01:14:26,680 --> 01:14:29,400
- Then that's what we do.
- Listen to me, Brian.
1148
01:14:29,480 --> 01:14:33,440
Your PO finds out you contacted Kennisha,
you could go right back to jail.
1149
01:14:35,520 --> 01:14:37,159
I told you.
1150
01:14:37,240 --> 01:14:38,913
I'm already in jail.
1151
01:14:47,280 --> 01:14:48,953
- This is Mike.
- Hey, Mr. Paley.
1152
01:14:49,040 --> 01:14:50,759
This is Brian Banks.
1153
01:14:50,880 --> 01:14:52,599
Twenty-six-year-old Brian Banks,
1154
01:14:52,680 --> 01:14:54,956
who once had dreams of the NFL,
1155
01:14:55,040 --> 01:14:57,271
is now fighting to clear his name.
1156
01:14:57,360 --> 01:15:00,319
His football dreams ended at the age of 16
1157
01:15:00,400 --> 01:15:03,871
when he was accused of a crime
he claims he didn't commit.
1158
01:15:04,680 --> 01:15:07,593
To be clear, Brian never raped you.
1159
01:15:07,680 --> 01:15:09,194
No, he did not rape me.
1160
01:15:11,920 --> 01:15:13,957
Brian! Brian!
1161
01:15:14,040 --> 01:15:17,078
Brian? Brian. Is the district attorney
reopening the case?
1162
01:15:17,200 --> 01:15:18,793
Any more word from Kennisha?
1163
01:15:18,880 --> 01:15:20,736
Do you think you'll get
another shot at the NFL?
1164
01:15:20,760 --> 01:15:23,753
First I gotta get my day in court.
All right?
1165
01:15:26,640 --> 01:15:28,154
- Yeah?
- It worked, Brian.
1166
01:15:28,240 --> 01:15:29,310
The mother surfaced.
1167
01:15:29,400 --> 01:15:31,920
She called the district attorney's office,
had a whole shit fit.
1168
01:15:32,000 --> 01:15:34,515
- Okay.
- So Mateo issued a subpoena.
1169
01:15:34,600 --> 01:15:36,751
He threatened to call the school district,
1170
01:15:36,840 --> 01:15:39,480
turn over all the evidence
unless they show.
1171
01:15:39,560 --> 01:15:42,519
So now we're close, Brian.
We're really close.
1172
01:15:43,160 --> 01:15:45,152
Okay, thanks, Justin. Later.
1173
01:15:56,640 --> 01:15:58,472
Contacting the victim.
1174
01:15:58,560 --> 01:16:00,677
Recording her without her consent.
1175
01:16:00,760 --> 01:16:02,592
Lying to your PO about job interviews.
1176
01:16:02,680 --> 01:16:04,433
That's three strikes right there.
1177
01:16:04,520 --> 01:16:06,273
I know you saw it.
1178
01:16:06,360 --> 01:16:10,070
And you heard her say I didn't do it,
because I didn't do it.
1179
01:16:10,160 --> 01:16:12,880
Someone put that on you,
you would've done the same thing.
1180
01:16:12,960 --> 01:16:15,156
Wrong. Don't tell me what I'd do, Banks.
1181
01:16:15,240 --> 01:16:17,038
You and I ain't the same.
1182
01:16:17,120 --> 01:16:19,157
Do you even know
what the word "credibility" means?
1183
01:16:19,240 --> 01:16:23,519
You have no credibility when you lie to me
to prove that someone lied about you.
1184
01:16:24,160 --> 01:16:27,392
That is in direct violation of your parole
under the law.
1185
01:16:27,520 --> 01:16:29,034
Do you hear me?
1186
01:16:30,320 --> 01:16:31,515
Do you hear me?
1187
01:16:33,600 --> 01:16:35,000
Yes, sir, I hear you.
1188
01:16:37,960 --> 01:16:41,556
It is my duty to report your violations.
1189
01:16:42,360 --> 01:16:44,352
And I plan to obey that duty.
1190
01:16:45,720 --> 01:16:46,915
In time.
1191
01:16:49,840 --> 01:16:53,072
The law says I have to report it.
It just doesn't say when.
1192
01:16:54,200 --> 01:16:57,034
I'm gonna give you eight weeks,
till your parole is up.
1193
01:16:58,200 --> 01:17:00,840
If in that time
they do not overturn your conviction,
1194
01:17:01,880 --> 01:17:04,190
you won't just be
a registered sex offender.
1195
01:17:05,400 --> 01:17:07,198
You'll be a prisoner again.
1196
01:17:29,320 --> 01:17:31,915
Mr. Brooks, where is this witness?
1197
01:17:33,120 --> 01:17:35,476
Your Honor, we respectfully ask the court
1198
01:17:35,560 --> 01:17:37,756
to just indulge us
with a little more time.
1199
01:17:37,880 --> 01:17:41,317
She's half an hour late. You think
this is the only hearing on the docket?
1200
01:17:41,400 --> 01:17:43,392
Issue another subpoena
and reschedule the hearing.
1201
01:17:43,480 --> 01:17:44,516
Adjourned.
1202
01:17:49,840 --> 01:17:52,230
Come on, Rafael.
Can't you work with me a little bit?
1203
01:17:52,320 --> 01:17:54,437
There's no time for another hearing.
1204
01:17:54,520 --> 01:17:56,716
Brian's parole is gonna run out.
1205
01:17:56,800 --> 01:17:59,031
Then it's over. He's done. You know that.
1206
01:17:59,120 --> 01:18:01,954
I need a statement from the complainant
on the record,
1207
01:18:02,040 --> 01:18:04,056
a statement that casts doubt
on her original testimony.
1208
01:18:04,080 --> 01:18:05,594
Now, you know that.
1209
01:18:08,440 --> 01:18:10,238
Justin. That's her mom.
1210
01:18:10,320 --> 01:18:11,720
And that's her.
1211
01:18:14,640 --> 01:18:16,711
Ms. Rice. Ms. Rice!
1212
01:18:19,400 --> 01:18:22,359
- Who the hell are y'all?
- District Attorney Rafael Mateo, ma'am.
1213
01:18:22,440 --> 01:18:24,432
You're in the right place.
Are you Kennisha?
1214
01:18:24,520 --> 01:18:26,159
Yeah, that's her.
1215
01:18:26,240 --> 01:18:29,392
The only reason we came down here
is to clear up all this bullshit.
1216
01:18:29,480 --> 01:18:31,631
We want to clear this up too, ma'am.
1217
01:18:31,720 --> 01:18:34,030
So maybe we can all sit down
and have a talk.
1218
01:18:38,480 --> 01:18:41,056
Kennisha, this won't take long.
We just wanna ask you a few questions.
1219
01:18:41,080 --> 01:18:44,994
This all you need to know.
That boy out there, he raped my daughter.
1220
01:18:45,080 --> 01:18:48,596
End of story. All that other shit on TV
he forced her to say.
1221
01:18:48,680 --> 01:18:50,717
He offered her $10,000.
1222
01:18:51,600 --> 01:18:54,434
Kennisha, you told our investigator
that Brian offered you 20,000.
1223
01:18:54,520 --> 01:18:56,318
Mama, can you take him
out of here, please?
1224
01:18:56,400 --> 01:18:58,471
Just say what you said
the first time in court.
1225
01:18:58,960 --> 01:19:01,680
Come on.
1226
01:19:18,440 --> 01:19:21,035
I'm not gonna answer
none of y'all's stupid questions.
1227
01:19:21,120 --> 01:19:23,794
- Ms. Rice, I just need...
- I said I'm not answering 'em!
1228
01:19:26,240 --> 01:19:29,517
What if I make my best effort
to not ask any stupid questions?
1229
01:19:30,080 --> 01:19:31,992
They're all stupid, if you ask me.
1230
01:19:32,120 --> 01:19:35,477
Well, my name's Justin Brooks, and I run
the California Innocence Project.
1231
01:19:35,560 --> 01:19:40,112
We get thousands of requests every year
for people to represent them
1232
01:19:40,200 --> 01:19:44,831
and, Kennisha, if Brian Banks raped you,
I don't wanna represent him.
1233
01:19:44,920 --> 01:19:46,434
- He did rape me.
- Okay.
1234
01:19:46,520 --> 01:19:48,876
Well, if you can get me to accept that
1235
01:19:48,960 --> 01:19:51,077
and clear up
a few of these inconsistencies,
1236
01:19:51,160 --> 01:19:52,594
we can all move on here.
1237
01:19:52,680 --> 01:19:53,796
Okay?
1238
01:19:53,880 --> 01:19:58,636
I just wanna talk to you briefly
about the incident in July of 2002.
1239
01:19:59,680 --> 01:20:01,876
When you went into that stairwell
with Brian,
1240
01:20:01,960 --> 01:20:03,713
what did you think was gonna happen?
1241
01:20:04,800 --> 01:20:06,120
I don't know.
1242
01:20:06,200 --> 01:20:08,635
- I was young at the time.
- Right.
1243
01:20:09,560 --> 01:20:12,359
At the top of the stairwell
there are classrooms.
1244
01:20:12,440 --> 01:20:14,557
- School was in session.
- Mm-hmm.
1245
01:20:15,160 --> 01:20:18,039
So why didn't you
just shout out to anybody?
1246
01:20:18,120 --> 01:20:20,077
'Cause I didn't know he was gonna do it.
1247
01:20:20,760 --> 01:20:24,390
When we first went down there,
I thought he was just gon' touch.
1248
01:20:24,480 --> 01:20:26,119
You know, touchy-feely.
1249
01:20:28,880 --> 01:20:32,760
So, Ms. Rice, are you saying that
you initially went down there willingly?
1250
01:20:34,120 --> 01:20:37,033
No. You're putting words in my mouth.
1251
01:20:37,120 --> 01:20:40,256
You said, "When we first went down there,
I thought it was gonna be touchy-feely."
1252
01:20:40,280 --> 01:20:41,976
You didn't say
that he forced or dragged you.
1253
01:20:42,000 --> 01:20:44,356
There you go again
with them stupid questions.
1254
01:20:44,880 --> 01:20:46,234
Brian know he did it.
1255
01:20:46,360 --> 01:20:49,432
If he was so innocent,
he would have took it to trial and won.
1256
01:20:49,520 --> 01:20:53,912
Kennisha, don't you think
anybody's ever been coerced
1257
01:20:54,000 --> 01:20:55,719
into taking a plea before?
1258
01:20:56,600 --> 01:20:59,354
I mean, maybe Brian just felt trapped.
1259
01:20:59,440 --> 01:21:02,353
But listen, we all make mistakes.
1260
01:21:02,440 --> 01:21:04,113
Especially when we're young.
1261
01:21:04,720 --> 01:21:06,439
We say things we regret.
1262
01:21:08,680 --> 01:21:10,160
Isn't it possible
1263
01:21:10,240 --> 01:21:13,233
that maybe you said some things back then
that you didn't mean?
1264
01:21:15,560 --> 01:21:18,553
Kennisha, did Brian ever coerce you
or pay you to talk to him?
1265
01:21:20,320 --> 01:21:22,073
He ain't got no money.
1266
01:21:22,600 --> 01:21:24,114
Right.
1267
01:21:24,200 --> 01:21:27,477
So you reached out to him
on your Facebook page yourself.
1268
01:21:27,560 --> 01:21:28,880
To help him, right?
1269
01:21:29,880 --> 01:21:31,519
That was nice.
1270
01:21:31,600 --> 01:21:35,389
'Cause you know you didn't
have sex with him in that stairwell.
1271
01:21:37,640 --> 01:21:40,075
You know that.
You guys went down there to make out.
1272
01:21:40,160 --> 01:21:41,640
And then Brian...
1273
01:21:42,760 --> 01:21:45,480
He may have embarrassed you
a little bit that day, right?
1274
01:21:46,920 --> 01:21:49,355
Maybe 'cause he didn't
want to go through with it.
1275
01:21:51,520 --> 01:21:53,512
I understand. And you liked him.
1276
01:21:55,920 --> 01:21:57,434
You liked him a lot.
1277
01:21:58,960 --> 01:22:00,110
That's okay.
1278
01:22:01,560 --> 01:22:04,439
Yeah,
y'all started it, but we gonna finish it.
1279
01:22:05,440 --> 01:22:09,753
What you said on the tape the other day,
if it's true, Brian can get his life back.
1280
01:22:10,520 --> 01:22:12,955
You can help him get a job.
He can move on.
1281
01:22:13,040 --> 01:22:15,839
What the hell's taking so long in here?
1282
01:22:15,920 --> 01:22:17,593
Did you tell him the truth this time?
1283
01:22:17,680 --> 01:22:20,195
Or they got you in here
making up some other story?
1284
01:22:21,680 --> 01:22:23,512
What about my life?
1285
01:22:23,600 --> 01:22:26,354
I go on with my life,
can I get my virginity back?
1286
01:22:26,440 --> 01:22:29,000
- I just need...
- I ain't talking to you no more!
1287
01:22:29,080 --> 01:22:31,151
- You a smart-ass!
- Let's take a break.
1288
01:22:31,240 --> 01:22:34,039
- We'll just come back here and...
- I'm not coming back.
1289
01:22:34,120 --> 01:22:37,750
I'm never coming back. I'm done
talkin' to y'all. I'm not talkin' no more.
1290
01:22:37,840 --> 01:22:39,752
- Ms. Rice, we have to...
- You heard her.
1291
01:22:39,840 --> 01:22:42,036
Talking's over. Let's go.
1292
01:22:45,320 --> 01:22:46,800
She admitted it was consensual.
1293
01:22:46,880 --> 01:22:50,396
- She said it started consensually.
- Which eliminates the kidnapping charge.
1294
01:22:50,480 --> 01:22:52,312
You said you needed
something on the record
1295
01:22:52,400 --> 01:22:54,357
that would cast doubt
on her original testimony.
1296
01:22:54,440 --> 01:22:56,033
Didn't you just get that?
1297
01:22:56,120 --> 01:22:58,696
All I can do is recommend that the same
judge who put Brian away overturn this,
1298
01:22:58,720 --> 01:23:00,040
and you know the chances of that.
1299
01:23:00,160 --> 01:23:02,197
Don't let that stop you.
1300
01:23:05,120 --> 01:23:07,271
Do you have a child, Mr. Mateo?
1301
01:23:09,440 --> 01:23:11,557
Can you imagine
1302
01:23:11,640 --> 01:23:14,030
what it's like seeing that child,
1303
01:23:14,120 --> 01:23:15,952
that innocent child,
1304
01:23:16,600 --> 01:23:19,991
taken from you and locked away with...
1305
01:23:20,800 --> 01:23:22,871
men who have done real crimes...
1306
01:23:23,600 --> 01:23:25,671
and can do real harm to him?
1307
01:23:27,560 --> 01:23:30,120
All a mother ever wants...
1308
01:23:31,000 --> 01:23:33,151
is to protect her children.
1309
01:23:34,640 --> 01:23:37,553
And I was never able to do that
for my boy.
1310
01:23:39,840 --> 01:23:41,752
I'll go to my grave
1311
01:23:41,840 --> 01:23:44,560
feeling the pain of that past.
1312
01:23:45,800 --> 01:23:48,520
But you can do something today,
Mr. Mateo...
1313
01:23:49,120 --> 01:23:51,760
to stop the pain of his future.
1314
01:23:52,920 --> 01:23:54,274
Now, that judge...
1315
01:23:55,520 --> 01:23:57,239
he will listen to you.
1316
01:23:58,280 --> 01:23:59,760
You know he will.
1317
01:24:00,520 --> 01:24:03,160
If you believe in your heart...
1318
01:24:03,240 --> 01:24:06,551
that what was done to my son was wrong.
1319
01:24:25,000 --> 01:24:26,070
All rise.
1320
01:24:30,640 --> 01:24:31,960
Be seated.
1321
01:24:33,600 --> 01:24:35,717
Okay, People vs. Banks.
1322
01:24:35,840 --> 01:24:38,958
I have before me a petition
for writ of habeas corpus,
1323
01:24:39,040 --> 01:24:43,512
petition of error coram nobis
to overturn the original judgment.
1324
01:24:43,640 --> 01:24:46,997
So, do the petitioners
wish to say anything?
1325
01:24:47,080 --> 01:24:49,072
Yes. Thank you, Your Honor.
1326
01:24:53,760 --> 01:24:56,958
Brian Banks was 16 years old
1327
01:24:57,600 --> 01:25:00,160
when he was accused of a crime
he did not commit.
1328
01:25:01,440 --> 01:25:05,434
He lost 11 years of his young life,
a scholarship.
1329
01:25:05,520 --> 01:25:08,592
He was prevented from playing football,
a game that he loves.
1330
01:25:08,680 --> 01:25:10,399
And I think we have to ask why.
1331
01:25:11,760 --> 01:25:13,433
Was it the system that failed him?
1332
01:25:13,520 --> 01:25:17,036
Nobody has been more critical
of this system than I have.
1333
01:25:18,560 --> 01:25:22,236
But I've come to realize
maybe it's... it's not the system.
1334
01:25:22,320 --> 01:25:23,879
Maybe it's us.
1335
01:25:25,320 --> 01:25:26,515
All of us.
1336
01:25:28,080 --> 01:25:29,309
Maybe it's me.
1337
01:25:30,040 --> 01:25:32,032
Yes, we have laws.
1338
01:25:32,120 --> 01:25:34,589
But those laws can be interpreted.
1339
01:25:35,320 --> 01:25:39,917
There is just enough flexibility
to allow for some amount of choice.
1340
01:25:40,000 --> 01:25:42,515
And with that choice
comes the power to do right,
1341
01:25:42,600 --> 01:25:45,399
to choose justice over expediency
1342
01:25:45,480 --> 01:25:48,075
and the truth over a technicality.
1343
01:25:48,160 --> 01:25:50,755
And the truth is, Brian Banks is innocent.
1344
01:25:52,400 --> 01:25:54,073
Eleven years, Your Honor.
1345
01:25:54,160 --> 01:25:57,073
Eleven years
my client will never get back.
1346
01:25:57,160 --> 01:26:00,073
Eleven years his family...
1347
01:26:00,960 --> 01:26:02,553
has had to suffer.
1348
01:26:03,200 --> 01:26:05,192
Eleven years of dreams deferred.
1349
01:26:07,920 --> 01:26:10,913
And we can fix it.
We can rectify it all here today.
1350
01:26:12,360 --> 01:26:15,671
You know, most of the time I'm just
trying to get my client their lives back.
1351
01:26:15,760 --> 01:26:17,752
In Brian Banks' case,
1352
01:26:17,840 --> 01:26:20,355
we have a chance
to give him his dreams back.
1353
01:26:23,560 --> 01:26:25,597
Please don't deny him that chance.
1354
01:26:26,920 --> 01:26:27,920
Thank you.
1355
01:26:32,640 --> 01:26:34,313
And the people?
1356
01:26:47,320 --> 01:26:49,357
The people will concede the matter,
Your Honor,
1357
01:26:49,960 --> 01:26:53,397
and ask the court
to grant the petition for exoneration.
1358
01:27:39,240 --> 01:27:40,469
All right then.
1359
01:27:41,640 --> 01:27:42,960
The petition is granted.
1360
01:27:58,120 --> 01:27:59,270
Brian?
1361
01:28:10,000 --> 01:28:11,116
Thank you.
1362
01:28:11,800 --> 01:28:12,800
Thank you.
1363
01:28:14,000 --> 01:28:15,229
Thank you...
1364
01:28:15,960 --> 01:28:17,314
for not giving up,
1365
01:28:18,160 --> 01:28:19,719
for making sure I didn't either.
1366
01:28:24,680 --> 01:28:26,911
- Well done, Brooks.
- Thank you.
1367
01:28:31,200 --> 01:28:32,953
Brian!
1368
01:28:42,080 --> 01:28:44,959
- Brian! Tell us how you're feeling.
- Do you plan to sue?
1369
01:28:45,040 --> 01:28:47,509
Are you angry at the situation?
1370
01:28:47,600 --> 01:28:50,195
No, at some point
you gotta let all that go.
1371
01:28:51,040 --> 01:28:54,716
All I ever wanted was my freedom,
and we got that here today.
1372
01:29:41,360 --> 01:29:42,555
Down.
1373
01:29:43,280 --> 01:29:44,430
Set...
1374
01:29:44,960 --> 01:29:46,917
Hut! Hut!
1375
01:29:47,920 --> 01:29:48,920
Hut!
1376
01:30:01,840 --> 01:30:03,069
Hello?
1377
01:30:03,160 --> 01:30:06,358
Hey, I'm looking for a linebacker.
Know where I might find any?
1378
01:30:08,600 --> 01:30:10,239
Coach Carroll.
1379
01:30:12,000 --> 01:30:15,596
It was good to see you on TV
the other day. How are you, old friend?
1380
01:30:15,720 --> 01:30:18,030
On top of the world, Coach. How you doing?
1381
01:30:18,520 --> 01:30:20,239
Doing pretty well up here in Seattle.
1382
01:30:20,960 --> 01:30:24,237
So sorry you had to go to hell and back,
Brian, but I wanted to ask you.
1383
01:30:24,960 --> 01:30:27,520
Think you may wanna come up here
and try out for the Seahawks?
1384
01:30:30,640 --> 01:30:33,030
Most definitely, Coach. Most definitely.
1385
01:30:33,120 --> 01:30:35,560
All right. I need you on the plane
first thing Monday morning.
1386
01:30:35,640 --> 01:30:36,994
Yeah.
1387
01:30:37,080 --> 01:30:38,116
