Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:01,335 --> 00:00:04,430
Narrator: In the criminal justice
system, the people are represented
2
00:00:04,471 --> 00:00:07,031
by two separate yet
equally important groups...
3
00:00:07,074 --> 00:00:08,940
The police who
investigate crime,
4
00:00:08,976 --> 00:00:11,946
and the district attorneys
who prosecute the offenders.
5
00:00:11,979 --> 00:00:13,641
These are their stories.
6
00:00:22,856 --> 00:00:25,121
Course 1502,
7
00:00:25,158 --> 00:00:27,491
Wednesdays, 7:00.
8
00:00:27,528 --> 00:00:29,588
A college degree isn't
good enough for you.
9
00:00:30,731 --> 00:00:32,700
Something wrong with
me improving myself?
10
00:00:32,733 --> 00:00:35,202
Improve my stomach, will you?
11
00:00:35,235 --> 00:00:37,101
Roast beef on rye, coffee...
12
00:00:37,137 --> 00:00:38,867
Both: Very light, no sugar,
13
00:00:38,906 --> 00:00:40,875
no mayo, no mustard.
14
00:00:40,908 --> 00:00:42,399
Very good.
15
00:00:47,347 --> 00:00:48,838
Man: I ain't
talking, first of all.
16
00:00:48,882 --> 00:00:50,817
Let's get the stuff. You'll
get your money back.
17
00:00:50,851 --> 00:00:52,183
Yo... Don't you
put your hands...
18
00:00:52,219 --> 00:00:54,017
Freddo!
19
00:01:09,903 --> 00:01:11,895
Go! Go, man! Go!
20
00:01:12,906 --> 00:01:14,374
Hold it!
21
00:01:15,375 --> 00:01:17,367
Don't move!
22
00:01:18,612 --> 00:01:20,672
Don't even breathe.
23
00:01:24,017 --> 00:01:26,486
Drop down! Now!
24
00:01:45,872 --> 00:01:48,034
He drew on me.
25
00:02:05,926 --> 00:02:07,588
Call it in, Freddo.
26
00:02:09,796 --> 00:02:11,822
Now, Freddo!
27
00:02:13,567 --> 00:02:15,365
Kid's dead.
28
00:03:48,161 --> 00:03:50,392
Logan: What about your kid?
29
00:03:50,430 --> 00:03:52,490
Cop: Kid I was after I
never got a decent look at.
30
00:03:52,532 --> 00:03:55,866
He was young... 13, 14.
31
00:03:55,902 --> 00:03:57,996
What about the one that
got away from Freddo?
32
00:03:58,038 --> 00:04:00,030
Him I saw. He had a blotch,
33
00:04:00,073 --> 00:04:01,871
you know, a
birthmark, on his face,
34
00:04:01,908 --> 00:04:04,810
running from here down to here.
35
00:04:10,884 --> 00:04:12,944
Somebody heard that shot.
36
00:04:12,986 --> 00:04:15,956
In this neighborhood? You
couldn't get a witness to a sunrise.
37
00:04:15,989 --> 00:04:19,289
Bang on a few windows.
ID on the dead kid?
38
00:04:19,326 --> 00:04:21,921
Nothing. Great.
39
00:04:21,962 --> 00:04:24,727
Freddo, go home, get some sleep.
40
00:04:24,765 --> 00:04:26,563
Yeah, sleep.
41
00:04:29,336 --> 00:04:32,738
Snitch told him drug sale's
going on down the block.
42
00:04:32,773 --> 00:04:34,401
No muss, no fuss.
43
00:04:34,441 --> 00:04:36,342
Punk drew on him. Self-defense.
44
00:04:36,376 --> 00:04:38,277
That's it? Wrap it up?
45
00:04:38,311 --> 00:04:39,973
As far as Internal
Affairs is concerned,
46
00:04:40,013 --> 00:04:41,641
yeah, it's closed.
47
00:04:41,681 --> 00:04:43,582
We've still got to do
our own investigation.
48
00:04:43,617 --> 00:04:45,984
We're all one family
here, Sergeant.
49
00:04:46,019 --> 00:04:47,920
You an only child?
50
00:04:47,954 --> 00:04:50,355
I got people in my family,
I wouldn't believe 'em
51
00:04:50,390 --> 00:04:52,450
they told me the sky was blue.
52
00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:56,059
Max: You think I like
investigating cops?
53
00:04:56,096 --> 00:04:57,997
It's like I've got something
stuck in my throat.
54
00:04:58,031 --> 00:05:00,042
That's not what it looked
like to that Lieutenant...
55
00:05:00,066 --> 00:05:02,126
What his name, Gowdy?
From Internal Affairs.
56
00:05:02,169 --> 00:05:04,866
What, open and
shut? You buy that?
57
00:05:04,905 --> 00:05:06,771
What're you selling, Max?
58
00:05:06,807 --> 00:05:09,470
No witnesses, So? A dead kid.
59
00:05:09,509 --> 00:05:11,603
If a civilian shot a
kid, no witnesses...
60
00:05:11,645 --> 00:05:13,011
All I'm saying is,
61
00:05:13,046 --> 00:05:14,981
they wouldn't wrap
it up in 10 minutes.
62
00:05:16,016 --> 00:05:18,884
$4 an hour I paid him.
63
00:05:18,919 --> 00:05:21,252
Good money for delivery.
64
00:05:21,288 --> 00:05:22,813
Disappears.
65
00:05:22,856 --> 00:05:25,018
This shooting in the
neighborhood... you hear about it?
66
00:05:25,058 --> 00:05:26,617
We're canvassing
all the merchants
67
00:05:26,660 --> 00:05:29,528
looking for a young man, 22, 23,
68
00:05:29,563 --> 00:05:33,022
black, with a
birthmark on his cheek.
69
00:05:33,066 --> 00:05:36,468
I got five orders
waiting to deliver.
70
00:05:36,503 --> 00:05:39,530
How long you have to wait before
you report somebody missing, eh?
71
00:05:39,573 --> 00:05:42,737
A birthmark? Like this?
72
00:05:42,776 --> 00:05:45,439
He comes in every afternoon.
73
00:05:45,478 --> 00:05:47,413
He buys two chocolate moon pies.
74
00:05:47,447 --> 00:05:50,007
Two. Hangs out
in the schoolyard.
75
00:05:55,522 --> 00:05:57,388
How're you doing?
76
00:05:57,424 --> 00:06:00,952
♪ You ain't cool get outta
my school I'm no fool ♪
77
00:06:00,994 --> 00:06:03,486

birthmark on his face?

00:06:07,901 --> 00:06:09,301
Silky?
81
00:06:09,336 --> 00:06:11,066
I wouldn't tell them nothing.
82
00:06:11,104 --> 00:06:12,732
Silky who?
83
00:06:12,772 --> 00:06:15,139
Ford. Lives over on Vice Avenue.
84
00:06:15,175 --> 00:06:16,803
108.
85
00:06:25,218 --> 00:06:26,811
Woman: Silky?
86
00:06:26,853 --> 00:06:28,116
Silky Ford.
87
00:06:28,154 --> 00:06:30,623
Live around here?
Don't I wish he didn't.
88
00:06:30,657 --> 00:06:32,751
He's one of your favorites, huh?
89
00:06:32,792 --> 00:06:36,627
Some boys make trouble
'cause they got trouble.
90
00:06:36,663 --> 00:06:39,292
Silky, he's looking for trouble.
91
00:06:39,332 --> 00:06:42,268
What'd he do, walk
off a white man?
92
00:06:42,302 --> 00:06:44,294
Is it this building here?
93
00:06:44,337 --> 00:06:47,136
You all only come up here
94
00:06:47,173 --> 00:06:48,835
when a white man gets hurt.
95
00:06:48,875 --> 00:06:50,673
Why aren't you
here all the time?
96
00:06:50,710 --> 00:06:52,440
Silky Ford?
97
00:06:54,014 --> 00:06:55,642
Fourth floor.
98
00:06:55,682 --> 00:06:57,548
Just come in.
99
00:06:57,584 --> 00:06:59,485
Naw, man, nobody here but me.
100
00:06:59,519 --> 00:07:01,181
Let's take a look.
101
00:07:01,221 --> 00:07:03,281
Oh, no, you blind
without a warrant!
102
00:07:03,323 --> 00:07:05,258
Let me see that.
103
00:07:05,292 --> 00:07:07,488
Max: Black male, 5'7",
104
00:07:07,527 --> 00:07:09,928
birthmark on his right cheek.
105
00:07:09,963 --> 00:07:11,727
Birthmark, right cheek...
106
00:07:11,765 --> 00:07:13,631
oh, yeah, that sound like Silky.
107
00:07:13,667 --> 00:07:15,966
You seen him lately? No, he's...
108
00:07:16,002 --> 00:07:17,937
been in Philadelphia
visiting his sister.
109
00:07:17,971 --> 00:07:19,963
She's in the hospital. Mumps.
110
00:07:22,042 --> 00:07:25,501
Whoa, be gentle, you
want to tear my suits?
111
00:07:25,545 --> 00:07:27,207
Where you going, man?
112
00:07:27,247 --> 00:07:29,512
That's just the kitchen.
Ain't nobody in there.
113
00:07:35,488 --> 00:07:37,650
Waxing the floor, Silky?
114
00:07:37,691 --> 00:07:40,217
Yeah. Yeah, we're cleaning up.
115
00:07:40,260 --> 00:07:42,456
Hey, come on, man!
116
00:07:42,495 --> 00:07:44,293
Who'd you clean up last night?
117
00:07:44,331 --> 00:07:45,959
I was home, all night long.
118
00:07:45,999 --> 00:07:47,968
Doing the floor? Yeah.
119
00:07:48,001 --> 00:07:49,697
They got dirty real fast.
120
00:07:49,736 --> 00:07:51,295
We had a party. Who was here?
121
00:07:51,338 --> 00:07:53,500
Me and Richard. It
was a private party.
122
00:07:53,540 --> 00:07:55,839
Let's take a ride, Silky, huh?
123
00:07:55,875 --> 00:07:58,020
Hey, I got... I got things to
do, man. I got a busy day...
124
00:07:58,044 --> 00:08:00,912
Your first appointment
is with us, okay?
125
00:08:00,947 --> 00:08:02,882
What you looking
at? Come on, man!
126
00:08:02,916 --> 00:08:06,114
Max: Take Davis out the
back before Freddo comes in.
127
00:08:08,355 --> 00:08:09,983
Davis?
128
00:08:10,023 --> 00:08:12,458
What, you think he's
going to lie for Freddo?
129
00:08:12,492 --> 00:08:14,290
No, they're both choirboys.
130
00:08:15,662 --> 00:08:17,028
Ready? Yeah.
131
00:08:17,063 --> 00:08:19,726
I even found another black
guy with a birthmark. Great.
132
00:08:28,108 --> 00:08:29,838
Number three.
133
00:08:30,977 --> 00:08:33,310
Number three,
step forward, please.
134
00:08:41,121 --> 00:08:43,090
Yeah.
135
00:08:43,123 --> 00:08:45,354
More than the others.
136
00:08:45,392 --> 00:08:47,623
I'm playing elimination here.
137
00:08:48,628 --> 00:08:50,529
I saw him 10
seconds, in the dark.
138
00:08:50,563 --> 00:08:52,259
You want me to say I'm sure?
139
00:08:52,298 --> 00:08:54,062
I'm not.
140
00:08:54,100 --> 00:08:56,695
Hey, Davis, take
it easy, all right?
141
00:08:56,736 --> 00:08:59,001
I'm not asking you to lie.
142
00:09:09,616 --> 00:09:11,380
Could be...
143
00:09:11,418 --> 00:09:12,943
Could be number three.
144
00:09:12,986 --> 00:09:15,182
Jeez.
145
00:09:15,221 --> 00:09:18,020
I'm not sure enough for an ID.
146
00:09:19,626 --> 00:09:21,026
It was dark.
147
00:09:22,929 --> 00:09:24,420
What was that about,
148
00:09:24,464 --> 00:09:26,296
keeping those two apart?
149
00:09:26,332 --> 00:09:29,200
10 years ago, I'm working
Central Park in the fall.
150
00:09:29,235 --> 00:09:31,295
The whole place
smells like a sewer.
151
00:09:31,337 --> 00:09:32,930
Captain says I'm imagining it.
152
00:09:32,972 --> 00:09:34,770
Lieutenant says
I'm imagining it.
153
00:09:34,808 --> 00:09:36,777
Turns out it's some
tree with flowers that rot.
154
00:09:36,810 --> 00:09:38,506
Lasts about a week.
155
00:09:39,846 --> 00:09:42,577
Hey... what, am I
missing something here?
156
00:09:43,983 --> 00:09:45,815
This thing smells, too.
157
00:09:45,852 --> 00:09:48,151
Internal Affairs
says I'm imagining it,
158
00:09:48,188 --> 00:09:50,214
Cragen says I'm imagining it...
159
00:09:50,256 --> 00:09:51,815
And you're not imagining it?
160
00:09:51,858 --> 00:09:54,123
On Silky? Two maybes,
161
00:09:54,160 --> 00:09:55,753
both cops aren't sure?
162
00:09:55,795 --> 00:09:58,196
Max, these guys are cops.
163
00:09:58,231 --> 00:10:00,166
They're cops.
164
00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:03,227
90% of all police officers
forget about killing.
165
00:10:03,269 --> 00:10:05,363
They go 30 years,
never fire a gun.
166
00:10:05,405 --> 00:10:08,204
Freddo, I heard this
morning, second time.
167
00:10:10,844 --> 00:10:12,779
Makes you wonder, that's all.
168
00:10:12,812 --> 00:10:14,542
Yeah, and it also
makes you wonder
169
00:10:14,581 --> 00:10:17,517
how many cops died thinking,
"That's not a gun in his hand."
170
00:10:21,754 --> 00:10:23,689
Well, we can't hold Silky.
171
00:10:29,863 --> 00:10:32,697
I sent the prints out. No ID.
172
00:10:32,732 --> 00:10:34,325
No record?
173
00:10:34,367 --> 00:10:37,098
Came up blank. You
see that evidence bag?
174
00:10:37,137 --> 00:10:38,901
What evidence bag?
175
00:10:39,906 --> 00:10:41,704
I sent it over.
176
00:10:41,741 --> 00:10:45,337
"Wheel of Fortune." The
kid had $3,000 bucks on him.
177
00:10:45,378 --> 00:10:47,040
In his sock.
178
00:10:49,582 --> 00:10:51,574
There's one set of prints.
179
00:10:51,618 --> 00:10:53,177
The dead kid?
180
00:10:53,219 --> 00:10:54,585
Yeah.
181
00:10:54,621 --> 00:10:56,920
Only one set of prints, like
somebody wiped the gun.
182
00:10:56,956 --> 00:10:58,982
Hey, Max, you're
drawing conclusions.
183
00:10:59,025 --> 00:11:00,857
Let's just say I
heard a dog bark.
184
00:11:00,894 --> 00:11:02,192
Serial number?
185
00:11:02,228 --> 00:11:04,959
It's clean. Not
a file job... acid.
186
00:11:04,998 --> 00:11:08,093
Dog's barking
louder. Ballistics.
187
00:11:32,525 --> 00:11:34,756
Beautiful piece, that Magnum.
188
00:11:36,462 --> 00:11:38,727
Tender loving
care to clean it off.
189
00:11:38,765 --> 00:11:40,461
Has it been worked on?
190
00:11:40,500 --> 00:11:42,492
By someone very good.
191
00:11:46,306 --> 00:11:49,276
R-10 twist. Clear as a bell.
192
00:11:51,444 --> 00:11:55,404
Let's go back a few months,
see if we can find a match.
193
00:11:57,217 --> 00:11:58,708
Logan: Magnum's clean.
194
00:11:58,751 --> 00:12:00,185
Sources?
195
00:12:00,220 --> 00:12:02,086
Hoover in Washington Heights,
196
00:12:02,121 --> 00:12:04,386
Bernie on 116th Street.
197
00:12:05,592 --> 00:12:07,390
Silky'd stay close to home.
198
00:12:08,595 --> 00:12:10,257
Bernie. Bang.
199
00:12:11,664 --> 00:12:13,428
Magnums.
200
00:12:13,466 --> 00:12:15,211
They're like opinions...
Everybody's got one.
201
00:12:15,235 --> 00:12:17,101
It's been cleaned up.
202
00:12:21,107 --> 00:12:22,803
Yours?
203
00:12:22,842 --> 00:12:24,470
Nice work, whoever did it.
204
00:12:24,510 --> 00:12:25,944
New kind of lock?
205
00:12:25,979 --> 00:12:28,881
Double cylinder, spring release.
206
00:12:28,915 --> 00:12:30,645
Yeah, illegal in this city.
207
00:12:30,683 --> 00:12:32,618
To install, not sell.
208
00:12:32,652 --> 00:12:34,177
Unpickable.
209
00:12:34,220 --> 00:12:36,621
Yeah, for six months.
Single cylinder?
210
00:12:36,656 --> 00:12:38,716
Wait a minute...
211
00:12:38,758 --> 00:12:40,158
This one hot?
212
00:12:40,193 --> 00:12:42,094
No?
213
00:12:42,128 --> 00:12:45,064
Bust me for a misdemeanor.
I'd be out in an hour.
214
00:12:45,098 --> 00:12:47,090
We keep busting you
and them hours add up.
215
00:12:49,535 --> 00:12:51,868
He dead? Never laid eyes on him.
216
00:12:56,809 --> 00:12:59,506
You lose a lot of business
when the door's locked.
217
00:13:01,180 --> 00:13:04,981
The Magnum's his. A
month ago. Six weeks.
218
00:13:05,018 --> 00:13:06,247
You positive?
219
00:13:06,286 --> 00:13:08,152
What do you want,
the name of his dog?
220
00:13:08,187 --> 00:13:09,678
Yeah, that's him.
221
00:13:12,525 --> 00:13:14,517
Oh, great. Hey! What?!
222
00:13:14,560 --> 00:13:16,028
The kid... the one the cop shot?
223
00:13:16,062 --> 00:13:17,792
He had your gun in his hand.
224
00:13:17,830 --> 00:13:21,232
Sing a song for me,
Silky. This is murder.
225
00:13:21,267 --> 00:13:23,099
If you're involved it
won't be probation.
226
00:13:23,136 --> 00:13:25,776
The other night, when you were
waxing the floor, this kid with you?
227
00:13:25,805 --> 00:13:28,536
I seen him around, but
I don't know his name.
228
00:13:28,574 --> 00:13:29,701
How did he get your gun?
229
00:13:29,742 --> 00:13:31,802
I sold it to him.
230
00:13:31,844 --> 00:13:33,789
You don't know his name
and you sold him your gun?
231
00:13:33,813 --> 00:13:35,304
I didn't need to know his name.
232
00:13:35,348 --> 00:13:36,873
A sister I know
brought him over.
233
00:13:36,916 --> 00:13:39,977
What's her name?
Doris. She's real fresh.
234
00:13:40,019 --> 00:13:41,664
Turn around and put your
hands on top of your head.
235
00:13:41,688 --> 00:13:42,917
For what?
236
00:13:42,955 --> 00:13:44,667
Turn around and put your
hands on top of your head!
237
00:13:44,691 --> 00:13:46,319
Felony, Silky. Oh, man.
238
00:13:46,359 --> 00:13:49,090
You just confessed
to selling a weapon.
239
00:13:49,128 --> 00:13:50,824
You have the right
to remain silent.
240
00:13:50,863 --> 00:13:53,264
Anything you say... What
is this, a class D? Class E?
241
00:13:53,299 --> 00:13:54,824
Shut up! It's a walk,
I'm out in a day.
242
00:13:54,867 --> 00:13:56,879
You have the right to an
attorney... Silky: Big surprise.
243
00:13:56,903 --> 00:13:57,871
Logan: Shut up!
244
00:13:57,904 --> 00:13:59,998
Hey.
245
00:14:00,039 --> 00:14:02,941
You know what this
is going to cost me?
246
00:14:02,975 --> 00:14:05,103
My lawyer gets
$300 an hour, man.
247
00:14:05,144 --> 00:14:07,636
Think about where you
were the other night, Silky.
248
00:14:07,680 --> 00:14:09,308
I'd like to know.
249
00:14:13,152 --> 00:14:15,178
Logan: You know
the kid Freddo shot?
250
00:14:15,221 --> 00:14:17,486
Maybe he did have the gun.
251
00:14:17,523 --> 00:14:20,425
Right. Silky sold him a Magnum,
252
00:14:20,460 --> 00:14:22,326
he gave him an IOU
253
00:14:22,362 --> 00:14:24,388
and then stuck
$3,000 in his shoe.
254
00:14:24,430 --> 00:14:26,456
Max, he could've bought
the gun a week ago.
255
00:14:26,499 --> 00:14:29,025
Run this by me again.
256
00:14:29,068 --> 00:14:31,128
Freddo and Davis saw
a guy with a birthmark,
257
00:14:31,170 --> 00:14:33,162
but it wasn't Silky.
258
00:14:33,206 --> 00:14:35,266
Silky sold the dead kid a gun,
259
00:14:35,308 --> 00:14:37,277
but he wasn't there that night.
260
00:14:43,750 --> 00:14:45,309
I don't know any Silky,
261
00:14:45,351 --> 00:14:47,320
and I don't know
nothing about dope.
262
00:14:47,353 --> 00:14:49,652
Who said anything about dope?
263
00:14:49,689 --> 00:14:52,352
Well, I got nothing to tell you.
264
00:14:52,392 --> 00:14:54,258
How about we take
you down to the precinct?
265
00:14:54,293 --> 00:14:56,626
Come on, you can't take
me in. You got no charge.
266
00:14:56,662 --> 00:14:58,358
Doris, a guy is dead.
267
00:14:58,398 --> 00:15:00,594
Yeah, well, a lot you
care. Logan: Wrong.
268
00:15:00,633 --> 00:15:02,295
You care so much
you probably belong
269
00:15:02,335 --> 00:15:03,997
to the NAACP.
270
00:15:04,036 --> 00:15:06,130
You introduce this kid to Silky?
271
00:15:06,172 --> 00:15:08,573
Logan: He had Silky's gun
in his hand when he died.
272
00:15:08,608 --> 00:15:11,442
Silky says you were there
when he sold the kid the piece.
273
00:15:11,477 --> 00:15:15,073
No way. No way, that's a lie.
274
00:15:15,114 --> 00:15:17,106
Max: Who is he, Doris?
275
00:15:20,119 --> 00:15:22,247
It's Tommy Richardson.
276
00:15:22,288 --> 00:15:24,189
Where does he live?
277
00:15:26,993 --> 00:15:30,157
103rd. Lexington and Park.
278
00:15:31,831 --> 00:15:33,629
You seen your brother Tommy?
279
00:15:34,700 --> 00:15:36,362
He ain't here.
280
00:15:36,402 --> 00:15:38,769
Where is he?
281
00:15:38,805 --> 00:15:41,001
I don't know,
282
00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:43,669
but you better come back
when my mom gets home.
283
00:15:43,709 --> 00:15:46,338
Where is your mom, Abel?
284
00:15:46,379 --> 00:15:48,280
Working.
285
00:15:48,314 --> 00:15:50,476
Where's she work?
286
00:15:50,516 --> 00:15:52,985
In an office building.
She's a cleaning lady.
287
00:15:53,019 --> 00:15:55,614
She doesn't get back till 8:00.
288
00:15:57,056 --> 00:15:58,615
Abel, you...
289
00:15:58,658 --> 00:16:00,718
you'd better come with us.
290
00:16:00,760 --> 00:16:03,286
Abel, why don't you take
a chair right here, all right?
291
00:16:05,465 --> 00:16:06,933
Did you call Reverend Thayer?
292
00:16:06,966 --> 00:16:09,435
Yeah, we called him.
293
00:16:09,469 --> 00:16:12,268
So when's the last time
you saw your brother?
294
00:16:12,305 --> 00:16:14,797
Abel? No, no, it's all right.
295
00:16:14,841 --> 00:16:17,174
Reverend Thayer, Detective
Logan, Sergeant Greevey.
296
00:16:17,210 --> 00:16:19,304
Yeah. Bringing a boy down here,
297
00:16:19,345 --> 00:16:21,314
what's the reason? What'd he do?
298
00:16:21,347 --> 00:16:25,307
It seems his brother pulled a gun
on a policeman the night before last.
299
00:16:25,351 --> 00:16:28,344
No. No, no, no. You've
got the wrong boy.
300
00:16:28,387 --> 00:16:30,515
I don't think so.
301
00:16:56,082 --> 00:16:58,608
Tommy Richardson
wouldn't have a gun.
302
00:17:00,419 --> 00:17:02,820
Tommy Richardson was a...
303
00:17:02,855 --> 00:17:06,019
an honor student at
Princeton University.
304
00:17:33,986 --> 00:17:36,615
Reporter: Why would a Princeton
honors student shoot a policeman?
305
00:17:36,656 --> 00:17:39,057
Reporter #2: When is an
arrest going to be made?
306
00:17:39,091 --> 00:17:41,925
Reporter #3: Did you know Tommy
Richardson lectured against drugs?
307
00:17:41,961 --> 00:17:44,396
Can you make some
kind of a statement?
308
00:17:46,332 --> 00:17:48,164
Whatever happened that night,
309
00:17:48,200 --> 00:17:52,160
we just got shoved out a plane
at 30,000 feet, no parachute.
310
00:17:56,008 --> 00:17:58,671
Nice, straightforward
little case, huh?
311
00:17:58,711 --> 00:18:01,078
So the wrap-it-up-
no-problem boys said.
312
00:18:01,113 --> 00:18:02,911
We're going to get strung up.
313
00:18:02,949 --> 00:18:05,919
Why did Freddo and Davis
go soft on Silky at the lineup?
314
00:18:05,952 --> 00:18:07,750
They made a mistake.
315
00:18:07,787 --> 00:18:10,154
Yeah, they thought nobody
would know they were lying.
316
00:18:10,189 --> 00:18:12,055
If you're wrong, and
you go after cops...
317
00:18:12,091 --> 00:18:14,060
If I'm wrong, I'll
go the grand jury
318
00:18:14,093 --> 00:18:15,721
and say I killed the kid.
319
00:18:21,300 --> 00:18:23,462
Yeah, I can use the time off.
320
00:18:24,503 --> 00:18:26,529
You heard about the kid?
321
00:18:26,572 --> 00:18:28,598
Princeton?
322
00:18:28,641 --> 00:18:30,974
Yeah, just goes to show you.
323
00:18:31,010 --> 00:18:32,342
Homeboys.
324
00:18:32,378 --> 00:18:34,006
No matter how fancy
you dress 'em up,
325
00:18:34,046 --> 00:18:36,948
they can still gun down a
cop like any street scum.
326
00:18:36,983 --> 00:18:39,452
The dude you and Davis
327
00:18:39,485 --> 00:18:40,976
passed on in the lineup, Freddo,
328
00:18:41,020 --> 00:18:43,990
it's hard to believe that his
gun was there and he wasn't.
329
00:18:44,023 --> 00:18:47,551
Now if he happens
to say he was there,
330
00:18:47,593 --> 00:18:49,562
and contradicts you...
331
00:18:49,595 --> 00:18:51,393
What is this? What is this?!
332
00:18:51,430 --> 00:18:53,626
I got 23 years on the force!
333
00:18:53,666 --> 00:18:55,498
Now who are you going to trust,
334
00:18:55,534 --> 00:18:57,264
me or some eggplant?!
335
00:18:58,671 --> 00:19:02,164
Gee, Mike, he sure sounds
trustworthy to me. How about you?
336
00:19:02,208 --> 00:19:04,973
Hey, hey!
337
00:19:07,246 --> 00:19:09,112
Easy, Freddo.
338
00:19:09,148 --> 00:19:11,083
Next time you want
to ask me something,
339
00:19:11,117 --> 00:19:13,416
talk to my POBA rep.
340
00:19:14,620 --> 00:19:16,851
Man: The man has two decades.
341
00:19:16,889 --> 00:19:19,267
From where the Police Officers'
Benevolent Association stands,
342
00:19:19,291 --> 00:19:21,522
that merits a certain respect.
343
00:19:21,560 --> 00:19:24,496
"Benevolent" means I
don't investigate? Max...
344
00:19:24,530 --> 00:19:26,829
You arrive at the man's
home unannounced,
345
00:19:26,866 --> 00:19:29,495
and you treat him like
some punk murderer...
346
00:19:29,535 --> 00:19:31,766
Freddo's no punk. Oh,
but he is a murderer?
347
00:19:31,804 --> 00:19:33,966
That's what we're investigating.
348
00:19:34,006 --> 00:19:36,202
Cragen: It is Sergeant
Greevey's job to investigate,
349
00:19:36,242 --> 00:19:37,686
but Max, if you are
all over this officer
350
00:19:37,710 --> 00:19:39,178
it's going to have to stop.
351
00:19:40,646 --> 00:19:42,342
We'll talk.
352
00:19:48,220 --> 00:19:49,654
Rock and a hard place.
353
00:19:49,689 --> 00:19:51,783
My butt, Max. Mine, not yours.
354
00:19:51,824 --> 00:19:53,884
This is not a bad cop.
355
00:19:53,926 --> 00:19:56,020
Neither are you, neither am I,
356
00:19:56,062 --> 00:19:57,496
but some things we don't do.
357
00:19:57,530 --> 00:20:00,500
We don't fix this fast, the
brotherhood is going to crucify us.
358
00:20:00,533 --> 00:20:03,093
If we do, the black community
is going to crucify us.
359
00:20:03,135 --> 00:20:05,127
Then let's do it right.
360
00:20:19,585 --> 00:20:21,144
Careful.
361
00:20:22,288 --> 00:20:24,348
Yeah, we all gotta be careful.
362
00:20:24,390 --> 00:20:27,053
More careful than Freddo was.
363
00:20:27,093 --> 00:20:29,324
Enough people have
already gotten hurt.
364
00:20:29,361 --> 00:20:31,387
Which is why
we're investigating.
365
00:20:31,430 --> 00:20:33,456
Detectives.
366
00:20:33,499 --> 00:20:35,593
You sit behind a desk.
367
00:20:37,069 --> 00:20:39,903
You guys have no idea what
it's like on the streets these days.
368
00:20:39,939 --> 00:20:42,238
Come on, what's that
supposed to mean?
369
00:20:42,274 --> 00:20:43,572
Close ranks, Logan.
370
00:20:43,609 --> 00:20:46,010
Hey, I have, okay?
With my partner.
371
00:20:46,045 --> 00:20:47,604
Your partner? Get off me!
372
00:20:47,646 --> 00:20:48,909
Hey, break it up!
373
00:20:48,948 --> 00:20:51,417
He wants to be a crusader.
Tell him to join the ACLU.
374
00:20:51,450 --> 00:20:54,420
This... this punk...
375
00:20:54,453 --> 00:20:57,048
okay, he went to
some fancy school...
376
00:20:57,089 --> 00:20:58,767
I don't care if he was
head of the class...
377
00:20:58,791 --> 00:21:01,852
Those three skells
were doing a drug deal.
378
00:21:04,263 --> 00:21:05,856
Yeah, well,
379
00:21:05,898 --> 00:21:08,868
we're all on the same
side, right, Davis?
380
00:21:08,901 --> 00:21:10,665
You could've fooled me.
381
00:21:21,514 --> 00:21:24,507
This week... not easy, is it?
382
00:21:28,988 --> 00:21:31,583
Yeah, well, we're out
there all alone, Max.
383
00:21:34,193 --> 00:21:35,718
Let me tell you something.
384
00:21:36,729 --> 00:21:38,391
Everybody else is wrong,
385
00:21:38,430 --> 00:21:40,058
and I think you like that.
386
00:21:40,099 --> 00:21:43,092
I don't like being
told to roll over.
387
00:21:43,135 --> 00:21:45,661
Davis swears the kid
was doing a drug deal.
388
00:21:45,704 --> 00:21:47,434
He swears it.
389
00:21:47,473 --> 00:21:49,840
Okay, fine.
390
00:21:49,875 --> 00:21:52,003
Assume everybody's
telling the truth.
391
00:21:52,044 --> 00:21:54,411
A Magnum on the
street, what's it go for?
392
00:21:54,446 --> 00:21:55,812
500.
393
00:21:55,848 --> 00:21:57,544
Right. Half a pound of crack?
394
00:21:57,583 --> 00:21:59,017
2500.
395
00:21:59,051 --> 00:22:02,317
The Richardson kid had
$3,000 bucks in his socks...
396
00:22:02,354 --> 00:22:04,983
Supposed to buy a gun and drugs.
397
00:22:05,024 --> 00:22:07,721
Drug dealers don't take credit.
398
00:22:10,496 --> 00:22:12,988
All right, the deal
never went down.
399
00:22:14,133 --> 00:22:18,036
Which means the
kid never had the gun.
400
00:22:18,070 --> 00:22:20,039
Freddo shot him,
401
00:22:20,072 --> 00:22:23,065
put the Magnum in his hand,
and he gave Silky a walk.
402
00:22:23,108 --> 00:22:25,942
That's why nobody's talking.
403
00:22:25,978 --> 00:22:28,846
We still got to turn
up the third guy.
404
00:22:30,382 --> 00:22:32,248
If Silky's not your friend...
405
00:22:32,284 --> 00:22:35,254
I don't have any friends.
They die too quick.
406
00:22:35,287 --> 00:22:36,812
How about enemies?
407
00:22:37,857 --> 00:22:41,089
Enemies, too. Up
here, nobody gets to 40.
408
00:22:41,126 --> 00:22:43,721
Three people that night, Doris.
409
00:22:43,762 --> 00:22:45,230
You knew Tommy,
410
00:22:45,264 --> 00:22:46,994
you know Silky...
411
00:22:47,032 --> 00:22:49,729
I know whatever I tell you it
only means you lock 'em up.
412
00:22:49,768 --> 00:22:51,361
Hey, hey.
413
00:22:51,403 --> 00:22:54,931
We're trying to find out why
Tommy Richardson is dead.
414
00:22:54,974 --> 00:22:57,000
The way we hear
it, he was your friend.
415
00:22:57,042 --> 00:23:00,479
Seems to me you
owe him his propers.
416
00:23:00,512 --> 00:23:02,606
Who was the third guy?
417
00:23:05,117 --> 00:23:07,552
He's just a scared little boy.
418
00:23:07,586 --> 00:23:09,919
Abel.
419
00:23:09,955 --> 00:23:11,856
Tommy's little brother.
420
00:23:13,459 --> 00:23:15,758
Max: Tommy and Silky
were doing a drug deal.
421
00:23:15,794 --> 00:23:18,628
Logan: You think Tommy
would shoot a cop?
422
00:23:18,664 --> 00:23:20,292
Tommy never had a gun!
423
00:23:20,332 --> 00:23:22,494
If your brother was here now,
424
00:23:22,534 --> 00:23:25,129
what would he tell you to do?
425
00:23:29,408 --> 00:23:31,968
Tommy was going to buy the gun.
426
00:23:32,011 --> 00:23:33,570
For 500?
427
00:23:33,612 --> 00:23:35,581
Yes.
428
00:23:35,614 --> 00:23:37,446
And the dope?
429
00:23:37,483 --> 00:23:39,679
Crack. A half a pound.
430
00:23:39,718 --> 00:23:41,414
For 2500.
431
00:23:41,453 --> 00:23:44,719
20 extra. We were
going to go to the movies.
432
00:23:46,091 --> 00:23:48,390
But the cops came, we ran...
433
00:23:48,427 --> 00:23:51,022
Silky still had the gun.
434
00:23:57,703 --> 00:23:59,399
Okay.
435
00:24:00,606 --> 00:24:02,131
Okay what?
436
00:24:04,043 --> 00:24:07,536
Sometimes when I don't want to
see something, I put blinders on.
437
00:24:07,579 --> 00:24:09,673
What's that, a confession?
438
00:24:11,817 --> 00:24:13,649
It's an apology.
439
00:24:18,390 --> 00:24:20,325
Richardson had the money.
440
00:24:20,359 --> 00:24:22,260
Silky had the gun.
441
00:24:22,294 --> 00:24:24,991
What happened to the dope?
442
00:24:25,030 --> 00:24:26,896
There was no dope.
443
00:24:26,932 --> 00:24:28,457
Never had it.
444
00:24:28,500 --> 00:24:31,664
Oh yeah, Richardson
met you to buy groceries.
445
00:24:31,704 --> 00:24:34,970
My lawyer, he'll have
me out of here in an hour.
446
00:24:35,007 --> 00:24:37,704
You could still go up
on that gun charge, Silky.
447
00:24:37,743 --> 00:24:40,975
I ain't never been
convicted of no felony.
448
00:24:41,013 --> 00:24:43,482
Even if you prove I sold
him the gun, I still walk.
449
00:24:45,284 --> 00:24:47,014
Jailhouse lawyer here.
450
00:24:47,052 --> 00:24:50,489
A witness puts you
at the scene that night.
451
00:24:50,522 --> 00:24:52,388
Abel.
452
00:24:56,028 --> 00:24:57,656
All right.
453
00:24:57,696 --> 00:25:00,325
I was there. That's
what you want to hear?
454
00:25:00,366 --> 00:25:03,097
Tommy had the gun. He drew
on the cop, the cop shot him.
455
00:25:03,135 --> 00:25:04,398
That's what happened.
456
00:25:04,436 --> 00:25:07,167
You're playing
this all wrong, Silky.
457
00:25:08,307 --> 00:25:10,299
I'm still breathing, ain't I?
458
00:25:11,310 --> 00:25:13,745
What'd this guy
do, shoot the Pope?
459
00:25:14,813 --> 00:25:16,281
What are you talking about?
460
00:25:16,315 --> 00:25:17,977
Pretty popular.
461
00:25:18,017 --> 00:25:19,713
Had another cop in this morning.
462
00:25:19,752 --> 00:25:20,981
Who?
463
00:25:22,154 --> 00:25:23,952
Parisi.
464
00:25:23,989 --> 00:25:26,356
Freddo Parisi.
465
00:25:26,392 --> 00:25:29,521
Max: The kid says, "I'm breathing,
" it means "Freddo threatened us."
466
00:25:29,561 --> 00:25:32,656
I admit it doesn't sound good.
Silky's lying, Freddo's lying,
467
00:25:32,698 --> 00:25:35,327
and Davis is covering for him.
468
00:25:35,367 --> 00:25:38,235
Freddo's arrested,
maybe somebody breaks.
469
00:25:38,270 --> 00:25:40,830
DA says the same
thing, but it's a cop,
470
00:25:40,873 --> 00:25:43,138
so it's got to be an
Internal Affairs collar.
471
00:25:43,175 --> 00:25:47,112
IAD cuts the guy some slack,
and his own precinct burns him.
472
00:25:47,146 --> 00:25:48,842
What a world.
473
00:26:10,803 --> 00:26:14,296
You're under arrest for the
murder of Thomas Richardson.
474
00:26:16,175 --> 00:26:18,041
You have the right
to remain silent.
475
00:26:18,077 --> 00:26:19,739
Anything you say
can and will be used...
476
00:26:19,778 --> 00:26:21,371
Save it, wiseguy.
477
00:26:21,413 --> 00:26:23,245
I know it by heart.
478
00:26:29,588 --> 00:26:31,318
You're dreaming, Counselor.
479
00:26:31,356 --> 00:26:33,951
And the Richardson boy?
No record and no gun.
480
00:26:33,992 --> 00:26:35,620
Yeah, says his
13-year-old brother.
481
00:26:35,661 --> 00:26:37,152
With no reason to lie.
482
00:26:37,196 --> 00:26:39,722
The kid's a lousy witness.
He wasn't even there.
483
00:26:39,765 --> 00:26:41,597
When I get finished with him,
484
00:26:41,633 --> 00:26:43,864
a jury won't take his word
on what he ate for breakfast.
485
00:26:43,902 --> 00:26:45,928
And patrolman Parisi?
486
00:26:45,971 --> 00:26:48,770
A veteran cop. His
word, Davis' word,
487
00:26:48,807 --> 00:26:50,776
Silky's word, all
against the kid,
488
00:26:50,809 --> 00:26:53,506
who wants to protect
his brother's reputation.
489
00:26:53,545 --> 00:26:55,377
Who's a jury going to believe?
490
00:26:55,414 --> 00:26:57,645
By the time we go
to trial, Patrolman,
491
00:26:57,683 --> 00:26:59,743
Silky'll be telling the truth.
492
00:27:00,752 --> 00:27:02,277
It turns out Abel's not clean,
493
00:27:02,321 --> 00:27:04,483
they scuff him up on
the stand, Freddo walks.
494
00:27:04,523 --> 00:27:06,492
Abel has no record.
Neither did his brother.
495
00:27:06,525 --> 00:27:08,721
I don't want a last minute
sandbag. Make sure, Paul.
496
00:27:12,164 --> 00:27:14,292
Thayer: Abel's
been in no trouble!
497
00:27:15,801 --> 00:27:19,238
You going to see your brother,
Tommy Richardson, gets justice?
498
00:27:19,271 --> 00:27:21,103
I'm an officer of the court.
499
00:27:21,140 --> 00:27:23,132
I'll investigate every
aspect of the case.
500
00:27:23,175 --> 00:27:25,610
Color has...
Nothing to do with it.
501
00:27:30,549 --> 00:27:33,314
Maybe I'm mistaken who you are.
502
00:27:34,486 --> 00:27:36,751
You grow up on Park Avenue,
503
00:27:36,788 --> 00:27:38,518
south of 96th Street?
504
00:27:38,557 --> 00:27:40,617
That isn't relevant to this.
505
00:27:40,659 --> 00:27:42,184
No?
506
00:27:42,227 --> 00:27:45,026
No father? That's right.
507
00:27:46,231 --> 00:27:47,927
Took off?
508
00:27:47,966 --> 00:27:49,992
Even you, Mr. Robinette?
509
00:27:50,035 --> 00:27:53,938
All black fathers
leave their children?
510
00:27:55,541 --> 00:27:58,033
Tommy Richardson's father
was a subway motorman.
511
00:27:58,076 --> 00:28:00,477
Usually worked two shifts.
512
00:28:00,512 --> 00:28:04,040
Somebody shot him for
$20 bucks he'd won at OTB.
513
00:28:05,284 --> 00:28:08,618
Now Tommy Richardson
was a hero in this community.
514
00:28:08,654 --> 00:28:11,681
He came from a good family.
515
00:28:11,723 --> 00:28:13,624
He went to a good college.
516
00:28:13,659 --> 00:28:16,527
He brought home
money for the church,
517
00:28:16,562 --> 00:28:19,623
for the Children's
Enrichment Program,
518
00:28:19,665 --> 00:28:21,190
for the boys’ choir...
519
00:28:21,233 --> 00:28:23,634
How much money? From where?
520
00:28:23,669 --> 00:28:26,696
Family named Harriman.
521
00:28:26,738 --> 00:28:29,333
Tommy's college roommate.
522
00:28:29,374 --> 00:28:32,572
They gave $48,000 in secret.
523
00:28:34,746 --> 00:28:36,647
How much?
524
00:28:37,816 --> 00:28:40,445
$48,000.
525
00:28:40,485 --> 00:28:41,953
My God.
526
00:28:41,987 --> 00:28:44,013
Your family didn't
give the money?
527
00:28:45,257 --> 00:28:46,725
Where'd he get it?
528
00:28:48,327 --> 00:28:51,229
Till the end of the semester,
529
00:28:51,263 --> 00:28:53,425
I really like Tommy.
530
00:28:53,465 --> 00:28:55,627
He was smart, funny.
531
00:28:55,667 --> 00:28:58,694
Exam period, I'd
come back at night
532
00:28:58,737 --> 00:29:01,730
and the people he
was hanging out with...
533
00:29:01,773 --> 00:29:04,004
Street people. Yeah...
534
00:29:04,042 --> 00:29:05,977
Wall Street.
535
00:29:06,011 --> 00:29:09,106
J. Press suits,
Fischer skis, Beamers.
536
00:29:09,147 --> 00:29:10,911
Trust fund babies.
537
00:29:10,949 --> 00:29:14,249
Tommy... it was
like he was in China.
538
00:29:14,286 --> 00:29:16,221
Didn't know the language,
539
00:29:16,255 --> 00:29:18,247
couldn't make friends.
540
00:29:18,290 --> 00:29:19,918
These guys wanted
to score some coke,
541
00:29:19,958 --> 00:29:24,191
and Tommy's black...
Like he ought to know.
542
00:29:24,229 --> 00:29:26,027
Friendship wasn't the point.
543
00:29:26,064 --> 00:29:27,498
Customers.
544
00:29:27,532 --> 00:29:28,932
You know any of them?
545
00:29:28,967 --> 00:29:30,833
Wesley Parker.
546
00:29:30,869 --> 00:29:32,633
Have a seat.
547
00:29:32,671 --> 00:29:35,266
Robinette: I want to talk to
you about Tommy Richardson.
548
00:29:35,307 --> 00:29:37,276
What about him?
549
00:29:39,311 --> 00:29:41,212
He sold you drugs.
550
00:29:41,246 --> 00:29:43,078
No way, man.
551
00:29:43,115 --> 00:29:45,983
I don't know who you've been
talking to, but there's no way...
552
00:29:46,018 --> 00:29:48,544
I take a walk around here,
you think I'll find some dope?
553
00:29:48,587 --> 00:29:50,317
Whatever you want to know.
554
00:29:51,456 --> 00:29:53,220
Why'd you hang with Tommy?
555
00:29:53,258 --> 00:29:56,057
I don't want to get
myself arrested here.
556
00:29:59,665 --> 00:30:02,294
Let's say Tommy
never got me any drugs.
557
00:30:02,334 --> 00:30:04,132
But your friends...
558
00:30:05,337 --> 00:30:07,329
Tommy was tough, he
knew how the world worked.
559
00:30:07,372 --> 00:30:10,467
You know what I mean?
560
00:30:10,509 --> 00:30:12,569
He was going to be real major...
561
00:30:12,611 --> 00:30:14,409
Yeah, Wesley,
562
00:30:14,446 --> 00:30:16,176
a major homicide.
563
00:30:16,214 --> 00:30:19,116
Crowd: We want
justice! We want justice!
564
00:30:21,353 --> 00:30:23,754
Robinette: To them, he's a hero.
565
00:30:23,789 --> 00:30:25,815
We're going to
destroy that dream.
566
00:30:25,857 --> 00:30:28,725
The truth will set you free. It
won't always make you happy.
567
00:30:28,760 --> 00:30:30,422
But he wasn't all bad.
568
00:30:30,462 --> 00:30:32,624
A trial, Ben... his name's dirt.
569
00:30:32,664 --> 00:30:34,758
In Harlem,
570
00:30:34,800 --> 00:30:36,359
a kid goes away
to a good school,
571
00:30:36,401 --> 00:30:38,700
brings back money
to the community...
572
00:30:38,737 --> 00:30:40,330
A candidate for sainthood?
573
00:30:40,372 --> 00:30:41,806
The good part of him, yeah.
574
00:30:41,840 --> 00:30:44,366
Maybe he needed the bad
part to make the good part work.
575
00:30:44,409 --> 00:30:47,937
Maybe being the tough black
kid at college, the street kid,
576
00:30:47,979 --> 00:30:50,813
helped him to come home
and give away money.
577
00:30:50,849 --> 00:30:53,216
Robin Hood? You think
that'll play with the jury?
578
00:30:53,251 --> 00:30:54,583
They find out
he's a drug dealer,
579
00:30:54,619 --> 00:30:56,451
they'll never believe
he didn't have a gun.
580
00:30:56,488 --> 00:30:59,617
Then make a deal. Freddo
does a couple of years,
581
00:30:59,658 --> 00:31:01,251
Tommy's name stays clean.
582
00:31:01,293 --> 00:31:03,785
Can't do it, Paul. You
can't let killers walk.
583
00:31:05,664 --> 00:31:07,496
Stone.
584
00:31:07,532 --> 00:31:09,330
Yes, send them in.
585
00:31:09,368 --> 00:31:10,961
The Richardsons.
586
00:31:12,671 --> 00:31:15,197
Mrs. Richardson,
thanks for coming down.
587
00:31:15,240 --> 00:31:17,004
Is this Abel? Yes, it is.
588
00:31:17,042 --> 00:31:19,011
How do you do?
Come in, sit right down.
589
00:31:25,517 --> 00:31:27,247
Mrs. Richardson,
590
00:31:27,285 --> 00:31:29,015
when this case goes to trial,
591
00:31:29,054 --> 00:31:32,252
there may be unpleasant
things said about your son.
592
00:31:32,290 --> 00:31:35,658
I read in the papers
593
00:31:35,694 --> 00:31:38,186
that the policeman
could go free.
594
00:31:40,399 --> 00:31:42,800
Mrs. Richardson...
595
00:31:42,834 --> 00:31:45,030
My husband was killed.
596
00:31:46,371 --> 00:31:48,897
Tommy was 10 years old.
597
00:31:48,940 --> 00:31:51,341
That boy...
598
00:31:53,044 --> 00:31:56,503
he started coming home from
school late, two, three hours.
599
00:31:56,548 --> 00:31:59,609
I thought he was
hanging out on the streets.
600
00:31:59,651 --> 00:32:01,586
After school job made him late.
601
00:32:01,620 --> 00:32:04,556
Delivering groceries...
602
00:32:05,690 --> 00:32:07,283
to help me out.
603
00:32:08,560 --> 00:32:11,587
Tommy spent his whole life
604
00:32:11,630 --> 00:32:13,861
just taking care
of other people.
605
00:32:15,167 --> 00:32:17,193
He had some problems.
606
00:32:19,838 --> 00:32:22,034
My boy got out of Harlem.
607
00:32:22,073 --> 00:32:25,669
That's what white
people wanted him to do,
608
00:32:25,710 --> 00:32:27,702
and it's what I
wanted him to do.
609
00:32:29,181 --> 00:32:32,640
Mr. Stone, could I talk to
you outside for a second?
610
00:32:34,019 --> 00:32:35,681
You're going to kill my mom.
611
00:32:35,720 --> 00:32:37,348
This drug deal on
the street, Abel...
612
00:32:37,389 --> 00:32:39,221
This wasn't a one
shot thing, was it?
613
00:32:39,257 --> 00:32:41,749
You can't do this to my
mom. It's not us doing it.
614
00:32:41,793 --> 00:32:43,694
Reverend Thayer, your mother...
615
00:32:43,728 --> 00:32:45,356
Everybody wants justice.
616
00:32:45,397 --> 00:32:47,662
But I have to know
what really happened.
617
00:32:47,699 --> 00:32:49,327
Tommy was moving a ton of dope.
618
00:32:49,367 --> 00:32:50,995
At Princeton?
619
00:32:51,036 --> 00:32:52,470
Every two weeks.
620
00:32:52,504 --> 00:32:53,938
He buy it here?
621
00:32:55,373 --> 00:32:57,569
Had... had this mule,
622
00:32:57,609 --> 00:32:59,908
moved it down the drain.
623
00:32:59,945 --> 00:33:02,039
This mule have a name?
624
00:33:02,080 --> 00:33:04,049
A girl.
625
00:33:04,082 --> 00:33:06,210
Girl named Doris.
626
00:33:06,251 --> 00:33:08,550
Doris: I don't know
nothing, okay?
627
00:33:08,587 --> 00:33:11,147
He's dead and I'm still
here, that's all I know.
628
00:33:11,189 --> 00:33:14,057
When you were on the
stroll... That's old news.
629
00:33:14,092 --> 00:33:16,493
Not old enough for
the statute of limitations.
630
00:33:16,528 --> 00:33:18,326
You jumped bail, three times.
631
00:33:18,363 --> 00:33:20,389
I forgot to show up at
court. You want a reminder?
632
00:33:20,432 --> 00:33:22,424
Okay, you want it
straight up, Oreo?
633
00:33:22,467 --> 00:33:24,333
Tommy asked me
to score some coke.
634
00:33:24,369 --> 00:33:26,065
Gave me money, train ticket,
635
00:33:26,104 --> 00:33:28,198
said to bring it to him
someplace in Jersey.
636
00:33:28,240 --> 00:33:30,971
Smart move, Doris. He paid me
so much I stopped turning tricks.
637
00:33:31,009 --> 00:33:32,637
'Cause of him I
got out of the life.
638
00:33:32,677 --> 00:33:34,236
Great, hooking to drug dealing?
639
00:33:34,279 --> 00:33:37,681
Which would you rather
sell, drugs or your body?
640
00:33:41,520 --> 00:33:43,955
We want justice!
We want justice...
641
00:33:51,296 --> 00:33:54,994
New York's finest!
New York's finest...
642
00:34:03,975 --> 00:34:06,638
Yeah, real stupid, Stone.
643
00:34:06,678 --> 00:34:08,909
Grand jury's decision, not mine.
644
00:34:08,947 --> 00:34:10,491
I'm not going to have
to smear that kid.
645
00:34:10,515 --> 00:34:12,313
He already smeared himself.
646
00:34:12,350 --> 00:34:15,809
Tommy Richardson's dead. He's
not on trial for drugs or anything else.
647
00:34:15,854 --> 00:34:17,618
Freddo had every
reason to believe
648
00:34:17,656 --> 00:34:19,000
that the kid was
going to shoot him.
649
00:34:19,024 --> 00:34:21,584
You, in Freddo's shoes,
what would you have done?
650
00:34:21,626 --> 00:34:24,357
I wouldn't have put a
gun in a dead kid's hand.
651
00:34:24,396 --> 00:34:27,560
I hope you're prepared to
go to trial and prove that.
652
00:34:27,599 --> 00:34:29,534
And soon.
653
00:34:29,568 --> 00:34:32,003
I'll see you there. Yeah.
654
00:34:33,672 --> 00:34:36,506
I don't care. I want you to
try for a deal with Freddo.
655
00:34:36,541 --> 00:34:38,339
Am I mistaken, or did
you just take a stand
656
00:34:38,376 --> 00:34:40,641
about a community
having to have its laws?
657
00:34:40,679 --> 00:34:42,944
That is a public position.
I'm telling you right now
658
00:34:42,981 --> 00:34:44,813
that you do not have
enough to convict Parisi.
659
00:34:44,849 --> 00:34:46,511
Then don't shut me down.
660
00:34:46,551 --> 00:34:49,111
The partner won't roll. You've
got nothing to offer Silky.
661
00:34:49,154 --> 00:34:51,555
And if Freddo's not interested?
662
00:34:51,590 --> 00:34:53,218
Make it sweet, down
for four, out in two.
663
00:34:53,258 --> 00:34:55,193
Convince him. Adam, really...
664
00:34:55,226 --> 00:34:57,195
99% of the time, I
let you run with it.
665
00:34:57,228 --> 00:34:59,220
I got to do what's
best for the office.
666
00:35:01,633 --> 00:35:03,033
Gentlemen.
667
00:35:03,068 --> 00:35:04,696
Come in.
668
00:35:10,842 --> 00:35:14,301
My lawyer, Mr. Ellery, says
I could use the company.
669
00:35:14,346 --> 00:35:16,406
I'm sure you
remember each other.
670
00:35:16,448 --> 00:35:18,041
Hello.
671
00:35:19,250 --> 00:35:21,685
My ex-wife cleaned up.
672
00:35:23,288 --> 00:35:24,722
Would you like a drink?
673
00:35:24,756 --> 00:35:26,452
No thanks.
674
00:35:27,993 --> 00:35:31,486
No wife, no friends, no nobody.
675
00:35:31,529 --> 00:35:33,574
Robinette: From what I've
seen, you have plenty of friends.
676
00:35:33,598 --> 00:35:35,191
Protecting their own, pal.
677
00:35:35,233 --> 00:35:37,896
Most of them, they
don't even know me.
678
00:35:37,936 --> 00:35:40,132
A lot of people downtown
would really prefer it
679
00:35:40,171 --> 00:35:41,469
if you didn't go to trial.
680
00:35:41,506 --> 00:35:43,873
If you plead to manslaughter
you can be out in one year.
681
00:35:43,908 --> 00:35:45,501
Two at the most.
682
00:35:47,412 --> 00:35:49,244
You guys...
683
00:35:49,280 --> 00:35:52,682
with your jobs and your suits,
684
00:35:52,717 --> 00:35:54,982
and your press
conferences... Freddo...
685
00:35:55,020 --> 00:35:58,013
You want to take from
me the one thing I got left.
686
00:35:59,491 --> 00:36:03,053
My trial is going to prove that
Ivy League moulanyan was a punk!
687
00:36:08,967 --> 00:36:11,994
I want my day in court.
688
00:36:18,743 --> 00:36:20,439
Before you ran from the police,
689
00:36:20,478 --> 00:36:23,539
did your brother or
Silky Ford have a gun?
690
00:36:23,581 --> 00:36:25,413
Silky had a gun
691
00:36:25,450 --> 00:36:27,112
stuck into his jeans.
692
00:36:27,152 --> 00:36:28,552
Did you see the gun?
693
00:36:28,586 --> 00:36:29,986
I could see the handle.
694
00:36:30,021 --> 00:36:32,388
It was a Magnum,
695
00:36:32,424 --> 00:36:34,086
like Dirty Harry, you know?
696
00:36:34,125 --> 00:36:35,616
"Make my day."
697
00:36:35,660 --> 00:36:37,561
On the street that
night you had a fight,
698
00:36:37,595 --> 00:36:39,029
what was that about?
699
00:36:39,064 --> 00:36:43,525
Silky short-weighted Tommy.
700
00:36:43,568 --> 00:36:46,663
I said something, he pushed me.
701
00:36:46,705 --> 00:36:48,731
Tommy pushed him...
702
00:36:49,741 --> 00:36:51,266
I'm going to ask
you one more time.
703
00:36:51,309 --> 00:36:52,868
Did you ever, at any time,
704
00:36:52,911 --> 00:36:55,176
see your brother
carry or fire a gun?
705
00:36:55,213 --> 00:36:57,546
No. Never.
706
00:36:57,582 --> 00:36:59,483
No further questions.
707
00:37:00,885 --> 00:37:02,615
Oh, boy.
708
00:37:02,654 --> 00:37:04,850
Let's start from
the beginning, Abel.
709
00:37:05,957 --> 00:37:07,757
Isn't it true your brother
was planning to buy
710
00:37:07,792 --> 00:37:10,261
a gun from Silky
Ford that night?
711
00:37:10,295 --> 00:37:12,059
Yeah, but he...
712
00:37:12,097 --> 00:37:14,464
He was planning on
buying a .357 Magnum.
713
00:37:14,499 --> 00:37:16,900
Yeah, but he never... Just
answer yes or no, please.
714
00:37:16,935 --> 00:37:20,963
Your brother was a student at
Princeton University, is that right?
715
00:37:21,005 --> 00:37:22,940
Objection, Your Honor,
this has all been covered.
716
00:37:22,974 --> 00:37:25,910
I'm trying to establish something
important here, Your Honor.
717
00:37:27,178 --> 00:37:29,545
We'll let Mr. Ellery
travel this road again.
718
00:37:29,581 --> 00:37:31,106
Overruled.
719
00:37:31,149 --> 00:37:33,118
Ellery: He was a
student at Princeton.
720
00:37:33,151 --> 00:37:34,278
Abel: Yes.
721
00:37:34,319 --> 00:37:35,878
Ellery: Were you proud of him?
722
00:37:35,920 --> 00:37:39,949
Everybody was.
723
00:37:40,024 --> 00:37:42,357
And you told people all the
time how proud you were of him?
724
00:37:42,393 --> 00:37:43,952
Of course I did.
725
00:37:43,995 --> 00:37:46,521
Then please tell the jury,
if you were so proud of him,
726
00:37:46,564 --> 00:37:48,795
whether you would honestly admit
727
00:37:48,833 --> 00:37:50,893
that he was capable of
shooting a policeman?
728
00:37:50,935 --> 00:37:52,494
Objection! Hypothetical.
729
00:37:52,537 --> 00:37:55,598
Sustained. No more
of that, Mr. Ellery.
730
00:37:55,640 --> 00:37:59,543
Abel, were you in the alley
731
00:37:59,577 --> 00:38:01,910
the night your brother was shot?
732
00:38:01,946 --> 00:38:03,437
You know I wasn't.
733
00:38:03,481 --> 00:38:06,110
So you don't know what
went on then, do you?
734
00:38:10,522 --> 00:38:11,922
It had to happen, Ben.
735
00:38:11,956 --> 00:38:14,235
Did you watch the jury? They
didn't believe a word he said.
736
00:38:14,259 --> 00:38:15,750
Freddo's going to walk.
737
00:38:15,794 --> 00:38:18,628
We could get Davis
to roll if Silky does.
738
00:38:18,663 --> 00:38:21,599
But Silky won't roll unless
he's set up for a felony.
739
00:38:28,506 --> 00:38:30,134
Set him up.
740
00:38:30,175 --> 00:38:31,803
Is that ethical?
741
00:38:31,843 --> 00:38:33,505
It's legal.
742
00:38:33,545 --> 00:38:35,707
In the criminal justice
system, that makes it ethical.
743
00:38:35,747 --> 00:38:37,739
Silky was committing
a felony that night.
744
00:38:37,782 --> 00:38:39,512
Half a pound of crack...
He's a drug dealer.
745
00:38:39,551 --> 00:38:41,952
What do you think
happened in that alley?
746
00:38:43,888 --> 00:38:47,416
Best bet, Freddo
got trigger happy,
747
00:38:47,458 --> 00:38:50,826
shot the kid, told Silky
to take the crack and run.
748
00:38:51,830 --> 00:38:53,696
Call Greevey and Logan.
749
00:38:53,731 --> 00:38:56,098
Set Silky up for sale-weight.
750
00:38:59,170 --> 00:39:00,968
Doris: Hello, Silky.
751
00:39:01,005 --> 00:39:03,236
You looking fine, baby.
752
00:39:03,274 --> 00:39:05,607
I thought with Tommy gone,
you'd be out of business though.
753
00:39:05,643 --> 00:39:07,635
Yeah, well, I got
other customers.
754
00:39:07,679 --> 00:39:11,582
The wire works. Thank
God for small miracles.
755
00:39:11,616 --> 00:39:12,914
Doris: You got my rocks?
756
00:39:12,951 --> 00:39:14,943
Silky: You know it.
A pound of the best.
757
00:39:14,986 --> 00:39:16,682
Five grand, baby.
758
00:39:20,124 --> 00:39:21,524
Countdown.
759
00:39:21,559 --> 00:39:23,425
Max: Three,
760
00:39:23,461 --> 00:39:25,862
two... Yeah, baby.
761
00:39:25,897 --> 00:39:27,889
Later. One.
762
00:39:27,932 --> 00:39:29,400
Go!
763
00:39:29,434 --> 00:39:30,834
Go, go, go! Come on!
764
00:39:30,869 --> 00:39:32,804
Cop: Freeze, police!
765
00:39:32,837 --> 00:39:34,533
I ain't moving,
man. I ain't moving.
766
00:39:34,572 --> 00:39:36,165
Don't move. Don't move.
767
00:39:36,574 --> 00:39:39,134
So what, are you going to
protect me for the next 30 years?
768
00:39:39,177 --> 00:39:41,646
Stone: You're a
predicate felon, Silky.
769
00:39:41,679 --> 00:39:44,774
You can get put away
for 15 years to life.
770
00:39:50,154 --> 00:39:52,089
Okay, sportsfans,
771
00:39:52,123 --> 00:39:54,422
let's go to the videotape.
772
00:39:54,459 --> 00:39:57,793
Did you see Freddo Parisi
773
00:39:57,829 --> 00:39:59,354
shoot Tommy Richardson?
774
00:39:59,397 --> 00:40:01,866
Freddo says, "Don't move."
775
00:40:01,900 --> 00:40:04,096
Tommy turns to say something,
776
00:40:04,135 --> 00:40:06,001
and the cop shoots him.
777
00:40:07,038 --> 00:40:09,530
Tommy didn't have no gun.
778
00:40:09,574 --> 00:40:11,008
Freddo takes my gun,
779
00:40:11,042 --> 00:40:13,534
he wipes it on
his shirt... Twice...
780
00:40:13,578 --> 00:40:15,877
And puts it in Tommy's hand.
781
00:40:15,914 --> 00:40:18,713
Freddo tells me to
take the dope and leave.
782
00:40:18,750 --> 00:40:21,584
Says it's my lucky day.
783
00:40:21,619 --> 00:40:23,178
Did he say anything else?
784
00:40:23,221 --> 00:40:25,156
Oh yeah.
785
00:40:25,189 --> 00:40:27,556
He says if I tell
anybody, he'll kill me.
786
00:40:28,559 --> 00:40:30,585
At my cell at the Tombs,
787
00:40:30,628 --> 00:40:32,028
he tells me again.
788
00:40:32,063 --> 00:40:34,362
Keep your mouth
shut, or you're dead.
789
00:40:35,466 --> 00:40:38,402
Even if I burn him,
his partner'll get me.
790
00:40:40,305 --> 00:40:43,070
Well, you have five kids,
791
00:40:43,107 --> 00:40:45,338
terrific wife, nice house.
792
00:40:45,376 --> 00:40:47,504
Massapequa, isn't it?
793
00:40:47,545 --> 00:40:49,070
Yeah.
794
00:40:49,113 --> 00:40:50,706
You've earned
five or six citations,
795
00:40:50,748 --> 00:40:52,080
you have a great record.
796
00:40:52,116 --> 00:40:55,348
Don't let misguided
loyalty ruin your life.
797
00:40:55,386 --> 00:40:58,185
You stay with Freddo,
he'll take you down.
798
00:40:59,390 --> 00:41:01,359
He's my partner.
799
00:41:01,392 --> 00:41:03,361
Stone: Something
you don't know...
800
00:41:03,394 --> 00:41:05,863
When they brought the
Richardson boy to the morgue,
801
00:41:05,897 --> 00:41:08,492
he had $3,000 on him.
802
00:41:10,368 --> 00:41:12,837
The transaction
never took place.
803
00:41:12,870 --> 00:41:15,738
He never bought Silky's gun.
804
00:41:18,743 --> 00:41:21,042
You weren't even there.
805
00:41:27,785 --> 00:41:30,721
After the incident was
called into Internal Affairs,
806
00:41:30,755 --> 00:41:33,020
what did Patrolman
Parisi tell you?
807
00:41:35,526 --> 00:41:37,757
He said if there
was ever a line-up,
808
00:41:37,795 --> 00:41:40,822
he didn't want me to identify
the guy with the birthmark.
809
00:41:40,865 --> 00:41:42,527
Stone: Did he tell you why?
810
00:41:42,567 --> 00:41:45,093
Davis: He said I
didn't have to worry.
811
00:41:45,136 --> 00:41:47,628
If they picked him up,
812
00:41:47,672 --> 00:41:49,698
he would say he wasn't there.
813
00:41:49,741 --> 00:41:52,973
Did Patrolman Parisi tell
you why he was so certain
814
00:41:53,011 --> 00:41:54,479
you didn't have to worry?
815
00:41:58,082 --> 00:41:59,778
He said...
816
00:42:01,719 --> 00:42:03,449
he let him take the crack,
817
00:42:03,488 --> 00:42:05,980
the stuff he was going to sell.
818
00:42:10,161 --> 00:42:12,858
Were you at all concerned
that Patrolman Parisi
819
00:42:12,897 --> 00:42:14,627
might be wrong?
820
00:42:14,665 --> 00:42:17,100
That the suspect in question
821
00:42:17,135 --> 00:42:19,366
might admit to being
there that night?
822
00:42:19,404 --> 00:42:21,635
No.
823
00:42:21,672 --> 00:42:24,039
Freddo...
824
00:42:24,075 --> 00:42:26,101
Patrolman Parisi...
825
00:42:27,445 --> 00:42:29,141
said it was a sure thing.
826
00:42:30,515 --> 00:42:32,484
The guy didn't dare
open his mouth.
827
00:42:32,517 --> 00:42:34,008
Stone: No more questions.
828
00:42:34,052 --> 00:42:36,078
No questions of this witness.
829
00:42:36,120 --> 00:42:37,850
Bailiff: You may step down.
830
00:42:38,890 --> 00:42:41,689
Prosecution calls
Dorian "Silky" Ford.
831
00:42:50,868 --> 00:42:53,599
Judge: Mr. Stone, is this
going to take some time?
832
00:42:53,638 --> 00:42:55,402
Yes, Your Honor.
833
00:42:57,208 --> 00:42:59,837
Judge: In view of
how late in the day it is,
834
00:42:59,877 --> 00:43:02,278
let's continue tomorrow.
Any objections?
835
00:43:02,313 --> 00:43:04,407
Court is adjourned.
836
00:43:13,991 --> 00:43:17,291
Well, I can't say I'm not
glad the way it turned out.
837
00:43:17,328 --> 00:43:19,320
I don't understand cops.
838
00:43:19,363 --> 00:43:21,696
There is such a thing
as an honorable mistake.
839
00:43:21,732 --> 00:43:23,462
Okay, he shot the kid.
840
00:43:23,501 --> 00:43:25,333
Did he have to
plant a gun on him?
841
00:43:25,369 --> 00:43:28,669
If he'd just admitted it, and
said, "I was scared, I panicked,
842
00:43:28,706 --> 00:43:30,299
I was wrong,"
843
00:43:30,341 --> 00:43:33,004
no jury in the world would
convict him of murder.
844
00:43:33,044 --> 00:43:34,706
Robinette: If nothing else,
845
00:43:34,745 --> 00:43:37,305
Freddo will never have
a gun in his hand again,
846
00:43:37,348 --> 00:43:39,681
and that's better for everybody.
847
00:43:46,624 --> 00:43:48,217
Schiff.
848
00:43:51,429 --> 00:43:53,330
Thanks for calling.
849
00:43:57,702 --> 00:44:00,331
Well, won't have to
worry about a verdict.
850
00:44:01,706 --> 00:44:03,675
Freddo just ate his gun.
851
00:44:08,646 --> 00:44:11,138
Thayer: Now is the time
852
00:44:12,583 --> 00:44:15,485
to remember the real
Tommy Richardson...
853
00:44:16,487 --> 00:44:19,821
and what he meant
to this community.
854
00:44:21,325 --> 00:44:23,590
He was a symbol
855
00:44:24,996 --> 00:44:28,899
of what every child
born into poverty
856
00:44:28,933 --> 00:44:31,095
could achieve.
857
00:44:32,170 --> 00:44:35,937
He gave back to his people...
858
00:44:37,341 --> 00:44:39,742
His time,
859
00:44:39,777 --> 00:44:41,143
his energy...
860
00:44:42,547 --> 00:44:44,413
his love.
861
00:44:46,217 --> 00:44:49,051
And he tried to help
862
00:44:49,086 --> 00:44:50,850
even more.
863
00:44:50,888 --> 00:44:53,483
He tried to help others
864
00:44:53,524 --> 00:44:55,857
by giving money.
865
00:44:56,861 --> 00:44:59,353
But to get that money
866
00:45:00,998 --> 00:45:03,695
he sold drugs.
867
00:45:03,734 --> 00:45:05,930
And he was shot to death,
868
00:45:05,970 --> 00:45:07,802
in the gutter,
869
00:45:07,838 --> 00:45:09,704
because of it.
870
00:45:11,042 --> 00:45:14,035
What Tommy
Richardson wanted to do
871
00:45:14,078 --> 00:45:16,377
for his people was right...
872
00:45:17,982 --> 00:45:21,316
but he did it the wrong way.
873
00:45:22,386 --> 00:45:25,788
And the policeman
who shot him...
874
00:45:25,823 --> 00:45:28,622
That was wrong, too.
875
00:45:30,161 --> 00:45:31,925
But it would not
have happened...
876
00:45:33,998 --> 00:45:36,729
without drugs!
877
00:45:43,874 --> 00:45:45,843
Wandering the halls?
878
00:45:48,079 --> 00:45:52,141
I wanted to say thank you.
879
00:45:53,417 --> 00:45:55,511
I know this was a tough one.
880
00:45:57,588 --> 00:45:59,819
It's the last one. No more cops.
881
00:45:59,857 --> 00:46:01,291
It's too hard.
882
00:46:03,461 --> 00:46:05,623
Know why I wouldn't let go?
883
00:46:06,797 --> 00:46:09,733
Because there, but for
the grace of God, go I,
