Your opponent finally

189
00:08:14,189 --> 00:08:16,844
REPORTER: A.D.A. Messina,
is this finally
190
00:08:16,887 --> 00:08:18,585
turning into a two-man race?
191
00:08:18,628 --> 00:08:21,631
I'm sorry. Who-who would
the other man be? [laughs]
192
00:08:21,675 --> 00:08:23,459
I'm kidding. I'm kidding.
193
00:08:23,503 --> 00:08:26,375
Look, Benjamin Colón
and I go way back.
194
00:08:26,418 --> 00:08:29,770
All right, he's a fantastic
person, he's a nice man.
195
00:08:29,813 --> 00:08:31,815
The question is,
is he really someone
196
00:08:31,859 --> 00:08:33,817
you would want
to be the district attorney
197
00:08:33,861 --> 00:08:35,645
of the greatest city on earth?
198
00:08:35,689 --> 00:08:38,648
I mean, based on his record,
I wouldn't think so.
199
00:08:38,692 --> 00:08:41,521
All right? The man walked away
from the D.A.'s office
200
00:08:41,564 --> 00:08:44,393
eight years ago
to go into private practice
201
00:08:44,436 --> 00:08:47,091
with a firm
that all but guarantees,
202
00:08:47,135 --> 00:08:49,093
"You know, if you pay us
enough money,
203
00:08:49,137 --> 00:08:51,269
"we can pick a jury
204
00:08:51,313 --> 00:08:53,881
that will give you
the verdict you want."
205
00:08:53,924 --> 00:08:55,317
I mean, come on.
206
00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:57,841
Is that what we really want
in a D.A.?
207
00:08:57,885 --> 00:09:00,714
Someone who's happy to sell
justice to the highest bidder?
208
00:09:00,757 --> 00:09:02,585
Doesn't sound right to me.
209
00:09:02,629 --> 00:09:04,848
[Benny laughs]I would think
that voters have to...
210
00:09:04,892 --> 00:09:07,372
[clicks key]Ah. Okay.
211
00:09:07,416 --> 00:09:09,200
Isn't he the one
that you told me about
212
00:09:09,244 --> 00:09:10,767
that everyone said
withheld evidence
213
00:09:10,811 --> 00:09:12,595
when you two were
working as A.D.A.s?
214
00:09:12,639 --> 00:09:15,424
Well, that's what I heard.
215
00:09:15,467 --> 00:09:18,209
But it doesn't make it true.
216
00:09:18,253 --> 00:09:22,910
Look, I'd much rather
tell them about me, okay?
217
00:09:22,953 --> 00:09:25,608
Me I can talk about,
me I can vouch for.
218
00:09:25,652 --> 00:09:27,262
Well, he didn't hesitate
to talk about you
219
00:09:27,305 --> 00:09:28,959
at that press conference
this morning.
220
00:09:29,003 --> 00:09:30,308
Look, I'm just saying
221
00:09:30,352 --> 00:09:31,527
that maybe this debate
is a good time to level
222
00:09:31,571 --> 00:09:32,920
the playing field.
223
00:09:35,705 --> 00:09:38,621
Benny, I just want you to win.
224
00:09:38,665 --> 00:09:43,147
Listen, it will be
what it will be, okay?
225
00:09:43,191 --> 00:09:46,629
I got to run my race,
and Messina's got to run his.
226
00:09:46,673 --> 00:09:50,067
Now, why don't you get out
of here so that way I can write
227
00:09:50,111 --> 00:09:51,678
this opening statement.
228
00:09:51,721 --> 00:09:53,680
Well, you still got my vote.
229
00:09:53,723 --> 00:09:54,985
TAYLOR:
So our new client travels
230
00:09:55,029 --> 00:09:56,987
to foreign countries,
bribes officials,
231
00:09:57,031 --> 00:09:59,729
goes onto private property
and kidnaps children?
232
00:10:01,296 --> 00:10:03,994
When he's successful
at what he sets out to do, yes.
233
00:10:04,038 --> 00:10:05,953
And that doesn't make him
a criminal?
234
00:10:05,996 --> 00:10:09,173
No. Sometimes you have
to fight fire with fire.
235
00:10:09,217 --> 00:10:11,001
If one parent
steals a child
236
00:10:11,045 --> 00:10:12,699
from the rightful
custodial parent,
237
00:10:12,742 --> 00:10:14,570
then flees to a country
238
00:10:14,614 --> 00:10:16,180
where the rightful custodial
parent has no legal standing,
239
00:10:16,224 --> 00:10:18,922
what else is there to do?
Just give up?
240
00:10:18,966 --> 00:10:21,446
CHUNK:
And Hank's not answerable
241
00:10:21,490 --> 00:10:22,796
for what he does in
a foreign country.
242
00:10:22,839 --> 00:10:24,493
Not in our courts anyway.
243
00:10:24,536 --> 00:10:26,451
He's only answerable for
what he does in this country.
244
00:10:26,495 --> 00:10:29,106
Beg to differ. He sold
his services in this country
245
00:10:29,150 --> 00:10:31,239
to a citizen
of this country.
246
00:10:31,282 --> 00:10:33,502
Marissa's right,
and that is precisely why
247
00:10:33,545 --> 00:10:35,112
the government is charging him
with fraud
248
00:10:35,156 --> 00:10:38,333
and not bribery, not kidnapping,
or any other crime
249
00:10:38,376 --> 00:10:41,597
that would be considered illegal
in this country.
250
00:10:41,641 --> 00:10:44,556
That's why we have to build
our case around intent.
251
00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:45,993
Intent?
252
00:10:46,036 --> 00:10:47,690
If we can prove
Hank genuinely intended
253
00:10:47,734 --> 00:10:49,823
to rescue that little girl,
then there is no fraud.
254
00:10:49,866 --> 00:10:53,435
And if there is no fraud,
there is no case.
255
00:10:53,478 --> 00:10:55,698
How the hell are we gonna
prove intent?
256
00:10:55,742 --> 00:10:57,961
As far as I can tell,
there's not a shred of evidence
257
00:10:58,005 --> 00:11:00,094
that the man did anything
but take that woman's money,
258
00:11:00,137 --> 00:11:03,314
fly to Russia and have himself
a nice little vacay.
259
00:11:03,358 --> 00:11:07,144
We are obviously gonna need
our client's help with that.
260
00:11:07,188 --> 00:11:09,233
And we know he's done
this kind of work before,
261
00:11:09,277 --> 00:11:11,714
and for lots of different
people, so all we have to do is
262
00:11:11,758 --> 00:11:15,152
demonstrate that fact, show his
track record of success.
263
00:11:15,196 --> 00:11:18,721
And that is gonna go a long way
with the jury.
264
00:11:18,765 --> 00:11:20,114
What do you mean, "no"?
265
00:11:20,157 --> 00:11:22,246
I mean no.
266
00:11:22,290 --> 00:11:23,900
I can't give you a list
of the names
267
00:11:23,944 --> 00:11:25,859
of satisfied customers.
268
00:11:25,902 --> 00:11:27,991
First thing I tell a parent
once they get their child back
269
00:11:28,035 --> 00:11:29,210
is to disappear.
270
00:11:29,253 --> 00:11:31,995
Vanish. Do anything
they have to
271
00:11:32,039 --> 00:11:34,911
to avoid retaliation,
and they do.
272
00:11:34,955 --> 00:11:36,608
A lot of them change
their names,
273
00:11:36,652 --> 00:11:39,350
walk away from good jobs
and friends and family.
274
00:11:39,394 --> 00:11:41,483
I can't very well
track 'em down, ask 'em
275
00:11:41,526 --> 00:11:44,442
to compromise themselves because
I'm in a bad situation.
276
00:11:47,315 --> 00:11:49,012
You two guys okay?
277
00:11:49,056 --> 00:11:51,798
I'm good.
We're good.
278
00:11:51,841 --> 00:11:53,582
I mean, I know our client
didn't promise up front
279
00:11:53,625 --> 00:11:56,063
that he could guarantee that
he could bring the child home,
280
00:11:56,106 --> 00:11:57,891
but still, she took out
a second mortgage
281
00:11:57,934 --> 00:11:59,936
to pay that man.That's very compelling,
282
00:11:59,980 --> 00:12:02,243
but we need a jury who
understands it's irrelevant.
283
00:12:02,286 --> 00:12:04,506
How is that irrelevant?
And why didn't
284
00:12:04,549 --> 00:12:06,769
the man just give her back her
money when things fell apart?
285
00:12:06,813 --> 00:12:09,337
For the same reason we
don't give our fee back
286
00:12:09,380 --> 00:12:11,252
whenever we lose a case.
287
00:12:11,295 --> 00:12:12,993
I mean, just because we lose
every once in a while
288
00:12:13,036 --> 00:12:14,298
doesn't mean it wasn't
our intent to win.
289
00:12:14,342 --> 00:12:15,865
And the same
goes for Hank.
290
00:12:15,909 --> 00:12:17,954
Sometimes you pay
for the process,
291
00:12:17,998 --> 00:12:20,261
and the outcome is
not guaranteed.
292
00:12:24,047 --> 00:12:26,746
For its first witness, the
prosecution would like to call
293
00:12:26,789 --> 00:12:28,051
Ms. Heather Shaughnessy.
294
00:12:28,095 --> 00:12:30,575
Nothing like starting off
with a bang.
295
00:12:30,619 --> 00:12:32,839
[gavel bangs]And at this point
you'd paid him...
296
00:12:32,882 --> 00:12:35,363
Almost $150,000,
297
00:12:35,406 --> 00:12:37,887
which was everything I had.
298
00:12:37,931 --> 00:12:41,586
And the thing was, every time
299
00:12:41,630 --> 00:12:44,676
I would talk to Hank,
he would ask for more money.
300
00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:47,854
The mission was going on
longer than expected.
301
00:12:47,897 --> 00:12:51,466
He had to bribe this one,
he had to pay off this one.
302
00:12:51,509 --> 00:12:55,644
I had to go to the bank,
get a loan on my house.
303
00:12:55,687 --> 00:12:59,691
OLSEN:
I-I have to ask,
Ms. Shaughnessy, if Hank Alston
304
00:12:59,735 --> 00:13:01,302
never gave you proof
of his progress
305
00:13:01,345 --> 00:13:03,130
locating or retrieving Irina,
306
00:13:03,173 --> 00:13:05,741
why on earth did you
keep giving him money?
307
00:13:05,785 --> 00:13:08,135
What choice did I have?
308
00:13:09,745 --> 00:13:12,922
He said he could
bring my baby back.
309
00:13:15,185 --> 00:13:17,971
I had to have my baby back.
310
00:13:19,624 --> 00:13:21,931
And I was a fool.
311
00:13:21,975 --> 00:13:24,716
I can see that now.
312
00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:28,720
My husband stole my child,
the bank took my house.
313
00:13:28,764 --> 00:13:31,158
And that fraud...
314
00:13:31,201 --> 00:13:33,900
stole any hope I had!
315
00:13:33,943 --> 00:13:37,077
And now my child is sick,
and there is nothing
316
00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:38,861
that I can do to help her.
317
00:13:38,905 --> 00:13:41,646
Did she just say
her daughter is sick?
318
00:13:41,690 --> 00:13:43,344
That's what it sounded like.
319
00:13:43,387 --> 00:13:47,000
Did you just testify that
your daughter is ill?
320
00:13:48,566 --> 00:13:50,612
Is this new information?
321
00:13:50,655 --> 00:13:54,224
I got a call at 3:00 a.m.
this morning.
322
00:13:55,530 --> 00:13:59,099
It was a doctor in Moscow
in a hospital.
323
00:13:59,142 --> 00:14:01,318
He had my daughter,
324
00:14:01,362 --> 00:14:04,669
but he didn't have any
vaccination records.
325
00:14:04,713 --> 00:14:08,195
No records at all.
326
00:14:09,239 --> 00:14:10,850
She has a fever,
327
00:14:10,893 --> 00:14:14,418
and they can't figure out why.
328
00:14:14,462 --> 00:14:18,901
And they need my help,
but I can't help them.
329
00:14:18,945 --> 00:14:22,296
CHUNK: Objection.
Your Honor, we all feel
330
00:14:22,339 --> 00:14:25,081
for Ms. Shaughnessy, but
everything that she's testifying
331
00:14:25,125 --> 00:14:27,431
as it relates to her daughter's
possible illness
332
00:14:27,475 --> 00:14:29,259
is both hearsay
and irrelevant.
333
00:14:29,303 --> 00:14:31,435
We have no idea of knowing
whether or not
334
00:14:31,479 --> 00:14:33,133
the phone call
actually happened.
335
00:14:33,176 --> 00:14:35,526
We don't know who the man on
the other end of the phone was,
336
00:14:35,570 --> 00:14:37,180
if he was a doctor or not.
337
00:14:37,224 --> 00:14:39,661
We don't even know if
her daughter is truly sick.
338
00:14:39,704 --> 00:14:42,229
And none of this
has anything to do
339
00:14:42,272 --> 00:14:44,361
with my client
or the matter at hand.
340
00:14:44,405 --> 00:14:46,798
I can't help her!
341
00:14:48,452 --> 00:14:51,064
I can't find
the vaccination records
342
00:14:51,107 --> 00:14:54,850
because they're in a box,
and I had to leave my house,
343
00:14:54,894 --> 00:14:56,330
and I can't find it.
344
00:14:56,373 --> 00:14:58,245
Your Honor...And I don't have
the money to go
345
00:14:58,288 --> 00:14:59,637
to Moscow because
he took it from me.JUDGE: Ms. Shaughnessy.
346
00:14:59,681 --> 00:15:02,379
And now...Your Honor, objection!
347
00:15:02,423 --> 00:15:04,251
JUDGE: Ms. Shaughnessy....instead of being there,
where I'd actually be useful,
348
00:15:04,294 --> 00:15:06,253
which is with her![gavel banging]
349
00:15:06,296 --> 00:15:08,298
Ms. Shaughnessy.
350
00:15:08,342 --> 00:15:10,344
[crying]
351
00:15:11,998 --> 00:15:13,825
And now the judge is gonna
tell us we won the point,
352
00:15:13,869 --> 00:15:15,392
but they won the game.
353
00:15:15,436 --> 00:15:17,699
Mr. Palmer,
your objection is sustained.
354
00:15:17,742 --> 00:15:20,528
The jury will disregard
everything having to do
355
00:15:20,571 --> 00:15:23,661
with the possible illness
of Ms. Shaughnessy's daughter.
356
00:15:23,705 --> 00:15:24,967
BULL:Right.
357
00:15:25,011 --> 00:15:26,490
And they're gonna forget
their cell phone numbers
358
00:15:26,534 --> 00:15:27,622
and the first time they had sex.I'm warning the witness
359
00:15:27,665 --> 00:15:29,624
to limit her testimony
to direct answers
360
00:15:29,667 --> 00:15:31,191
to the questions put to her.
361
00:15:31,234 --> 00:15:32,844
Is that understood?
362
00:15:34,107 --> 00:15:35,760
Yes, Your Honor.
363
00:15:35,804 --> 00:15:37,893
I apologize, Your Honor.
[sniffles]
364
00:15:37,937 --> 00:15:40,113
Do you have any more questions
for this witness?
365
00:15:40,156 --> 00:15:42,028
Not at this time, Your Honor.
366
00:15:42,071 --> 00:15:44,769
Then let's take
a 30-minute recess.
367
00:15:45,901 --> 00:15:47,250
On a scale from
one to ten,
368
00:15:47,294 --> 00:15:48,730
how do you guys think
we're doing?
369
00:15:48,773 --> 00:15:51,951
We're talking fractions.
Fractions of fractions.
370
00:15:57,260 --> 00:15:59,784
About the only thing my team
at the FBI could verify
371
00:15:59,828 --> 00:16:01,569
is Mr. Alston's military record.
372
00:16:01,612 --> 00:16:03,571
He was, in fact, an Army Ranger.
373
00:16:03,614 --> 00:16:05,790
And what about the other claims
the defendant made
374
00:16:05,834 --> 00:16:07,662
to convince Ms. Shaughnessy
to purchase
375
00:16:07,705 --> 00:16:10,404
his so-called services;
the dozen or so families
376
00:16:10,447 --> 00:16:12,275
he allegedly helped,
for example?
377
00:16:12,319 --> 00:16:13,581
Well, there's no record
of any of that.
378
00:16:13,624 --> 00:16:15,235
As far as we can tell,
Mr. Alston knew
379
00:16:15,278 --> 00:16:17,759
that Ms. Shaughnessy
was desperate, and he...
380
00:16:17,802 --> 00:16:19,630
told her what she
wanted to hear.
381
00:16:19,674 --> 00:16:22,198
OLSEN:
And his trip to Russia,
did he make that up, too?
382
00:16:22,242 --> 00:16:23,939
CAMARGO:
No. Mr. Alston did
travel to Russia.
383
00:16:23,983 --> 00:16:26,376
His name can be found on
airline passenger manifests.
384
00:16:26,420 --> 00:16:28,900
But there's no indication
that he attempted to
385
00:16:28,944 --> 00:16:30,859
locate Irina Belov
while he was over there.
386
00:16:30,902 --> 00:16:33,122
None of the government agencies
he claimed to have
387
00:16:33,166 --> 00:16:34,819
had contact with
have any record of him.
388
00:16:34,863 --> 00:16:36,778
There's no attainable
surveillance that puts him
389
00:16:36,821 --> 00:16:39,650
near the music school that
he claims to have staked out.
390
00:16:39,694 --> 00:16:43,045
So if Mr. Alston wasn't trying
391
00:16:43,089 --> 00:16:44,916
to rescue a little girl,
392
00:16:44,960 --> 00:16:46,831
do you have any evidence
indicating
393
00:16:46,875 --> 00:16:48,572
what he was doing in Russia?
394
00:16:48,616 --> 00:16:51,358
Well, uh, he certainly appeared
395
00:16:51,401 --> 00:16:53,577
to be enjoying himself.
396
00:16:53,621 --> 00:16:55,101
OLSEN:
And what makes you say that?
397
00:16:55,144 --> 00:16:57,016
His credit card transactions
have him staying
398
00:16:57,059 --> 00:16:58,669
at some nice hotels
in the best parts of town,
399
00:16:58,713 --> 00:17:01,629
eating at some
fancy restaurants.
400
00:17:01,672 --> 00:17:05,241
And on what I can only imagine
was one particularly wild night,
401
00:17:05,285 --> 00:17:08,940
Mr. Alston charged $20,000
to a high-end strip club
402
00:17:08,984 --> 00:17:11,073
called the Kitty Kat Kabaret.
403
00:17:11,117 --> 00:17:14,076
OLSEN:
No further questions
for this witness.
404
00:17:17,514 --> 00:17:19,560
Agent Camargo.
405
00:17:19,603 --> 00:17:23,172
$20,000, that's a...
that's a lot of drinks.
406
00:17:23,216 --> 00:17:24,434
A lot of dances.
407
00:17:24,478 --> 00:17:27,611
Like I said, a wild night.
408
00:17:27,655 --> 00:17:31,528
[chuckles]
Maybe. Maybe not.
409
00:17:31,572 --> 00:17:34,227
You ever heard of a man
named Dmitri Bulgakov?
410
00:17:34,270 --> 00:17:37,143
Um, sorry, I have not, no.
411
00:17:37,186 --> 00:17:39,580
According to our research,
he's the registered owner
412
00:17:39,623 --> 00:17:41,451
of the Kitty Kat Kabaret.
413
00:17:41,495 --> 00:17:44,237
I guess I'll have to
take your word for it.
414
00:17:44,280 --> 00:17:46,108
Yeah. Now, Agent Camargo,
415
00:17:46,152 --> 00:17:48,893
would it surprise you to learn
that Interpol has identified
416
00:17:48,937 --> 00:17:51,896
Dmitri Bulgakov,
the owner of said strip club,
417
00:17:51,940 --> 00:17:53,463
as a suspected money launderer
418
00:17:53,507 --> 00:17:55,422
for the very same
crime syndicate
419
00:17:55,465 --> 00:17:57,902
that Irina's father has
been associated with?
420
00:18:00,340 --> 00:18:02,255
The witness will answer
the question.
421
00:18:04,170 --> 00:18:05,867
I did not know that, no.
422
00:18:05,910 --> 00:18:07,434
But now that you do,
423
00:18:07,477 --> 00:18:09,523
wouldn't you agree that
it's just as likely that,
424
00:18:09,566 --> 00:18:11,699
rather than spending
all that money on dances
425
00:18:11,742 --> 00:18:15,006
and champagne,
that in all probability,
426
00:18:15,050 --> 00:18:17,531
it was a bribe
to get information
427
00:18:17,574 --> 00:18:18,445
on the location
428
00:18:18,488 --> 00:18:20,403
of Irina Belov
and her father?
429
00:18:20,447 --> 00:18:22,318
Objection.
This calls for speculation.
430
00:18:22,362 --> 00:18:23,841
CHUNK:
Your Honor,
431
00:18:23,885 --> 00:18:26,714
Agent Camargo has
an extensive background
432
00:18:26,757 --> 00:18:30,370
investigating transnational
organized crime in the Bureau.
433
00:18:30,413 --> 00:18:33,373
She knows how information is
gathered in a place like Russia,
434
00:18:33,416 --> 00:18:35,026
in a city like Moscow.
435
00:18:35,070 --> 00:18:37,551
I'm simply asking for
her professional opinion.
436
00:18:37,594 --> 00:18:40,815
Overruled. Ask your question
again, Mr. Palmer,
437
00:18:40,858 --> 00:18:42,295
and the witness will answer it.
438
00:18:42,338 --> 00:18:44,079
Again,
439
00:18:44,123 --> 00:18:46,342
isn't it possible that
Hank Alston
440
00:18:46,386 --> 00:18:50,825
paid $20,000 to Dmitri Bulgakov
as a bribe
441
00:18:50,868 --> 00:18:53,001
in exchange for information
442
00:18:53,044 --> 00:18:55,177
on the whereabouts
of Irina Belov
443
00:18:55,221 --> 00:18:58,093
so that he could craft a plan
to get her out of Moscow,
444
00:18:58,137 --> 00:19:01,096
and deliver her to her mother,
Heather Shaughnessy?
445
00:19:02,445 --> 00:19:05,318
Sure, it's possible.
446
00:19:05,361 --> 00:19:06,884
CHUNK:
And one other thing.
447
00:19:06,928 --> 00:19:09,060
You mentioned that
you could find no evidence
448
00:19:09,104 --> 00:19:11,585
to support my client's claim
that he had done
449
00:19:11,628 --> 00:19:14,065
this kind of work successfully
for other families.
450
00:19:14,109 --> 00:19:16,894
Not a shred of evidence, no.
451
00:19:16,938 --> 00:19:18,896
And did you find any evidence
452
00:19:18,940 --> 00:19:21,029
to the contrary?Excuse me?
453
00:19:21,072 --> 00:19:22,987
I would think that
disgruntled ex-clients
454
00:19:23,031 --> 00:19:26,991
would be easy to find...
if he had any.
455
00:19:28,732 --> 00:19:30,778
So my question for you is
456
00:19:30,821 --> 00:19:32,910
were you able to find any?
457
00:19:34,564 --> 00:19:36,218
No, we were not.
458
00:19:36,262 --> 00:19:38,655
CHUNK:
No further questions,
Your Honor.
459
00:19:41,310 --> 00:19:43,051
[knocks]BENNY: It's open.
460
00:19:43,094 --> 00:19:44,792
Sorry to intrude.Hey...
461
00:19:44,835 --> 00:19:47,360
Twice in one week.
What's the occasion?
462
00:19:47,403 --> 00:19:50,058
I know last time we spoke
you said that
463
00:19:50,101 --> 00:19:52,974
you would run your race
and Messina would run his.Mm-hmm.
464
00:19:53,017 --> 00:19:55,324
That's all I know how to do.
465
00:19:55,368 --> 00:19:57,152
But Messina's dragging
your name through the mud
466
00:19:57,196 --> 00:19:58,458
every chance he gets.
467
00:19:58,501 --> 00:20:00,242
Whether it's you leaving
the D.A.'s office
468
00:20:00,286 --> 00:20:01,852
to come work for TAC,
or how you worked
469
00:20:01,896 --> 00:20:04,072
for a corrupt boss all those
years, like David Sherman.
470
00:20:04,115 --> 00:20:05,682
I never saw an ounce
of corruption
471
00:20:05,726 --> 00:20:07,336
the whole time I was there.
472
00:20:07,380 --> 00:20:09,730
He doesn't miss an opportunity
to let the voters know that
473
00:20:09,773 --> 00:20:12,254
you're unfit to be
New York's district attorney.
474
00:20:14,256 --> 00:20:17,564
Like I said, I cannot
control what he says.
475
00:20:17,607 --> 00:20:20,567
I can't control how
he runs his campaign.
476
00:20:20,610 --> 00:20:23,439
The only campaign I
can control is my own.
477
00:20:25,615 --> 00:20:26,573
What's this?
478
00:20:26,616 --> 00:20:28,096
Our friend Mr. Kiehl
479
00:20:28,139 --> 00:20:30,054
wanted you to see it.
480
00:20:30,098 --> 00:20:32,187
He thought you would
find it useful.
481
00:20:33,884 --> 00:20:36,235
Okay, so two years ago...
482
00:20:37,497 --> 00:20:40,891
Right before he was promoted
to head of the trial division.
483
00:20:40,935 --> 00:20:44,112
Messina completed a stint
in an outpatient
484
00:20:44,155 --> 00:20:46,332
alcohol rehabilitationprogram.
485
00:20:46,375 --> 00:20:47,724
Good for him.
486
00:20:47,768 --> 00:20:50,205
So you know what that means.
487
00:20:50,249 --> 00:20:52,076
He was an outpatient.
488
00:20:52,120 --> 00:20:54,035
He was still handling cases.
489
00:20:54,078 --> 00:20:56,255
So?
490
00:20:56,298 --> 00:21:00,520
So it strongly suggests
that he may have very well
491
00:21:00,563 --> 00:21:03,087
been impaired while
doing the job.
492
00:21:03,131 --> 00:21:07,527
And Kiehl thinks that maybe
we might be able to
493
00:21:07,570 --> 00:21:09,311
get some people
in the D.A.'s office
494
00:21:09,355 --> 00:21:11,095
to go on the record about it.
495
00:21:11,139 --> 00:21:13,010
Who are you?
496
00:21:13,054 --> 00:21:15,665
And what have you done
to my sister?
497
00:21:15,709 --> 00:21:17,232
Izzy... [scoffs]
498
00:21:17,276 --> 00:21:18,973
This sounds like
499
00:21:19,016 --> 00:21:23,543
Messina had a personal problem
and he took care of it.
500
00:21:23,586 --> 00:21:25,284
It's to be applauded,
501
00:21:25,327 --> 00:21:27,329
not used as a billy club
against him.
502
00:21:27,373 --> 00:21:29,418
And I'd agree with you,
except Kiehl doesn't think
503
00:21:29,462 --> 00:21:32,203
he actually did take care of it.
504
00:21:32,247 --> 00:21:34,597
Apparently, a few weeks ago,
Messina's campaign
505
00:21:34,641 --> 00:21:36,730
had a big fundraiser event.
506
00:21:36,773 --> 00:21:39,472
Messina left before
he was scheduled to speak.
507
00:21:39,515 --> 00:21:42,039
And his staff told everyone
that it was an asthma attack.
508
00:21:42,083 --> 00:21:43,998
Something about the flowers
at the venue.
509
00:21:45,173 --> 00:21:46,696
He was actually rushed
to the hospital
510
00:21:46,740 --> 00:21:48,437
for alcohol poisoning.
511
00:21:48,481 --> 00:21:50,091
They had to pump his stomach.
512
00:21:50,134 --> 00:21:52,441
Well, uh-- He still didn't
break any laws.
513
00:21:52,485 --> 00:21:54,008
No, but he got
514
00:21:54,051 --> 00:21:55,966
so out of control
that he nearly killed himself.
515
00:21:56,010 --> 00:21:57,838
Plus, he had his staff
lie about it.
516
00:21:57,881 --> 00:21:59,579
I'm sorry, I don't think
that's the person
517
00:21:59,622 --> 00:22:02,364
most New Yorkers want
to be their top prosecutor.
518
00:22:02,408 --> 00:22:04,758
[chuckles]
What would you have me do?
519
00:22:04,801 --> 00:22:08,283
Huh? Would you have me
call a press conference
520
00:22:08,327 --> 00:22:11,808
and announce that the man
has a drinking problem?
521
00:22:11,852 --> 00:22:14,289
That's not me. I'm not that guy.
522
00:22:19,599 --> 00:22:22,515
Kiehl says we can
leak it anonymously.
523
00:22:22,558 --> 00:22:24,473
And he swears it will
524
00:22:24,517 --> 00:22:27,171
never be traced back to you,
he just...
525
00:22:29,130 --> 00:22:30,958
...wants your blessing.
526
00:22:31,001 --> 00:22:33,134
Oh. O-Okay.
527
00:22:33,177 --> 00:22:37,138
Well, uh, thank him for me.
528
00:22:37,181 --> 00:22:38,748
Tell him I get it.
529
00:22:38,792 --> 00:22:42,404
And also tell him,
"Not until hell freezes over."
530
00:22:42,448 --> 00:22:44,101
[gavel bangs]
531
00:22:44,145 --> 00:22:46,060
I knew from doing my homework
that the father's driver
532
00:22:46,103 --> 00:22:49,150
was his bodyguard, his enforcer.
533
00:22:49,193 --> 00:22:53,415
I also knew he carried
a Yarygin, MP-443 Grach.
534
00:22:53,459 --> 00:22:56,897
That gun can fire
17 or 18 rounds, depending.
535
00:22:56,940 --> 00:22:59,247
If I'd have made a run for it
with little Irina,
536
00:22:59,290 --> 00:23:02,946
that's 17 or 18 chances
for him to try to stop me.
537
00:23:02,990 --> 00:23:04,600
More importantly,
538
00:23:04,644 --> 00:23:07,603
that's 17 or 18 chances
he might have hit her.
539
00:23:07,647 --> 00:23:09,779
CHUNK:
And...
540
00:23:09,823 --> 00:23:12,042
what about the government's
assertion that you,
541
00:23:12,086 --> 00:23:14,044
you never really tried
to rescue Irina,
542
00:23:14,088 --> 00:23:15,916
that you were on
some sort of a vacation
543
00:23:15,959 --> 00:23:17,483
at your client's expense?
544
00:23:19,702 --> 00:23:23,706
Irina, the little girl,
545
00:23:23,750 --> 00:23:26,840
she rides horses at a school
on Begovaya Street twice a week.
546
00:23:26,883 --> 00:23:30,017
The Arabian
is her favorite.
547
00:23:30,060 --> 00:23:33,934
She loves practicing the piano
but hates performing.
548
00:23:33,977 --> 00:23:36,110
She makes her father take her
to this restaurant
549
00:23:36,153 --> 00:23:39,026
called Marina's
for breakfast every Sunday.
550
00:23:39,069 --> 00:23:40,767
I think it's 'cause
it's the only place in Moscow
551
00:23:40,810 --> 00:23:42,464
with decent American pancakes.
552
00:23:42,508 --> 00:23:44,074
[chuckles softly]
553
00:23:46,990 --> 00:23:50,211
I know all this 'cause
I did my job, did my homework.
554
00:23:50,254 --> 00:23:51,691
I tried my damnedest
555
00:23:51,734 --> 00:23:53,344
to bring that little girl
back to her mother,
556
00:23:53,388 --> 00:23:55,956
just like I try my damnedest
for all my clients.
557
00:23:58,262 --> 00:24:00,874
I don't deny that I failed.
558
00:24:00,917 --> 00:24:03,790
But failing is very different
559
00:24:03,833 --> 00:24:05,748
than choosing
not to do the work.
560
00:24:07,837 --> 00:24:09,230
No further questions,
Your Honor.
561
00:24:10,318 --> 00:24:12,059
[murmuring]
562
00:24:12,102 --> 00:24:13,495
I know you can't
see their faces,
563
00:24:13,539 --> 00:24:15,062
but I think
they're starting to hear us.
564
00:24:15,105 --> 00:24:16,629
For what it's worth,
I found his explanation
565
00:24:16,672 --> 00:24:17,804
very reasonable.
566
00:24:17,847 --> 00:24:18,935
Very credible.
567
00:24:18,979 --> 00:24:20,937
I'm telling you,
he's a good man.
568
00:24:20,981 --> 00:24:23,679
Your Honor, the people
would like to present a video
569
00:24:23,723 --> 00:24:26,290
that we believe
proves the witness Hank Alston
570
00:24:26,334 --> 00:24:27,466
just perjured himself.
571
00:24:27,509 --> 00:24:28,728
CHUNK:
Objection, Your Honor.
572
00:24:28,771 --> 00:24:30,512
This is the first
that we're hearing
573
00:24:30,556 --> 00:24:32,514
about any video.
574
00:24:32,558 --> 00:24:33,994
We've not had
a chance to examine
575
00:24:34,037 --> 00:24:35,909
any supposed evidence,
576
00:24:35,952 --> 00:24:38,302
let alone attempt
to authenticate the video.
577
00:24:38,346 --> 00:24:39,478
The video is a recording
578
00:24:39,521 --> 00:24:40,827
of Mr. Alston.
579
00:24:40,870 --> 00:24:42,089
He can authenticate it,
Your Honor.
580
00:24:43,786 --> 00:24:46,441
Very well. I'll allow it.
581
00:24:48,835 --> 00:24:50,663
Yeah, man, I've been working
on my tan, but I get red first.
582
00:24:50,706 --> 00:24:52,665
I burn first thing.
583
00:24:52,708 --> 00:24:54,318
Cheers.
584
00:24:54,362 --> 00:24:56,016
Is that you in the
video, Mr. Alston?
585
00:24:56,059 --> 00:24:58,105
I actually don't know.
586
00:24:58,148 --> 00:25:00,542
Excuse me?
587
00:25:00,586 --> 00:25:03,719
[chuckles]
You're under oath, Mr. Alston,
588
00:25:03,763 --> 00:25:06,200
and I must tell you,
the man on that screen
589
00:25:06,243 --> 00:25:07,810
certainly
looks like you.
590
00:25:07,854 --> 00:25:10,552
Now I'm gonna ask you
one more time,
591
00:25:10,596 --> 00:25:12,162
is that you in the video?
592
00:25:13,947 --> 00:25:16,384
You're right.
It certainly looks like me.
593
00:25:16,427 --> 00:25:18,342
But I have no recollection
of being in that place,
594
00:25:18,386 --> 00:25:20,693
I can't recall
ever owning that shirt,
595
00:25:20,736 --> 00:25:22,521
and my hand to God,
I'm well aware of the fact
596
00:25:22,564 --> 00:25:23,739
that I'm under oath.
597
00:25:23,783 --> 00:25:25,045
MARISSA:
Bull, do you have any idea
598
00:25:25,088 --> 00:25:26,525
what's actually on that video,
599
00:25:26,568 --> 00:25:28,048
what this is about?
600
00:25:28,091 --> 00:25:30,137
Not a clue.OLSEN:
Perhaps
601
00:25:30,180 --> 00:25:31,704
if we play a little more of it?
602
00:25:31,747 --> 00:25:33,270
With the court's permission?
603
00:25:33,314 --> 00:25:35,403
Perhaps that will refresh
the witness's memory?
604
00:25:35,446 --> 00:25:37,797
I'm told it's, uh,
at a bar in Bangkok.
605
00:25:37,840 --> 00:25:39,407
You've been
to Bangkok?I have.
606
00:25:39,450 --> 00:25:41,757
Your Honor, just for the record,
607
00:25:41,801 --> 00:25:43,977
my client's admission
that he has been to Bangkok
608
00:25:44,020 --> 00:25:45,805
in no way constitutes
609
00:25:45,848 --> 00:25:47,589
authentication of this video.
610
00:25:47,633 --> 00:25:49,330
Duly noted.
611
00:25:49,373 --> 00:25:51,114
The jury will keep in mind
612
00:25:51,158 --> 00:25:53,508
that the video has not
been authenticated.
613
00:25:53,552 --> 00:25:58,426
That notwithstanding,
let's see a little more of it.
614
00:25:58,469 --> 00:26:01,255
Perhaps it willrefresh
the witness's memory.
615
00:26:01,298 --> 00:26:03,605
Obviously,
if it doesn't,
616
00:26:03,649 --> 00:26:05,259
we'll react
accordingly.
617
00:26:05,302 --> 00:26:07,261
Thank you, Your Honor.
618
00:26:09,219 --> 00:26:11,482
MAN:
So why abduction recovery, man?
619
00:26:11,526 --> 00:26:14,181
Like, what do you dig
so much about the gig?
620
00:26:14,224 --> 00:26:15,922
What's not to love, bro?
621
00:26:15,965 --> 00:26:17,271
Think about it.
622
00:26:17,314 --> 00:26:19,490
Desperate people
are stupid people.
623
00:26:19,534 --> 00:26:21,797
Desperate parents?
You just hit the jackpot.
624
00:26:21,841 --> 00:26:23,669
They'll give you
as much money as you want.
625
00:26:23,712 --> 00:26:25,671
You take a little,
buy a plane ticket,
626
00:26:25,714 --> 00:26:27,673
have yourself a nice vacay,
and just...
627
00:26:27,716 --> 00:26:29,283
[clicks tongue]
bank the rest.
628
00:26:29,326 --> 00:26:31,633
Spin some crap about
the mission going south--
629
00:26:31,677 --> 00:26:33,548
blah, blah, blah-- what are
they gonna do about it?
630
00:26:33,592 --> 00:26:36,551
[chuckles]
To me.
631
00:26:38,161 --> 00:26:39,206
[jury murmuring]
632
00:26:39,249 --> 00:26:40,555
[video stops]
633
00:26:44,211 --> 00:26:45,691
That's definitely not me.
634
00:26:46,866 --> 00:26:49,042
I never been in that place,
I never wore those clothes,
635
00:26:49,085 --> 00:26:52,523
and I've never said those words,
not to anyone, not ever.
636
00:26:52,567 --> 00:26:55,048
Was that not your face?
Was that not your voice?
637
00:26:55,091 --> 00:26:57,572
It appears to be my face,
it sure sounded like my voice,
638
00:26:57,616 --> 00:26:59,313
but that doesn't make it me.
639
00:26:59,356 --> 00:27:03,883
Well, why don't we leave that
for the jury to decide?
640
00:27:05,841 --> 00:27:07,495
No further questions.
641
00:27:07,538 --> 00:27:10,498
Chunk, ask where the tape
came from.
642
00:27:10,541 --> 00:27:13,283
Look at his face.
Trust me, he knows.
643
00:27:17,592 --> 00:27:19,028
You have a theory
about that video,
644
00:27:19,072 --> 00:27:20,987
don't you?
I sure do.
645
00:27:21,030 --> 00:27:22,249
You care to share it
with all of us?
646
00:27:22,292 --> 00:27:23,685
Objection.
Counsel is inviting
647
00:27:23,729 --> 00:27:24,817
the witness to speculate.
648
00:27:24,860 --> 00:27:26,079
CHUNK:On the contrary,
Your Honor.
649
00:27:26,122 --> 00:27:28,168
This witness is an expert
at getting into
650
00:27:28,211 --> 00:27:30,692
and getting out of places
that he has not been invited to
651
00:27:30,736 --> 00:27:32,825
or is he allowed.
652
00:27:32,868 --> 00:27:36,089
Now, he is in many ways,
a master of disguise,
653
00:27:36,132 --> 00:27:38,787
a master of illusion.
654
00:27:38,831 --> 00:27:41,703
And in so many words,
he has intimated to this court
655
00:27:41,747 --> 00:27:45,272
that what we have
just seen is an illusion.
656
00:27:45,315 --> 00:27:46,839
I would very much
like the jury
657
00:27:46,882 --> 00:27:48,841
to have the benefit
of his expert opinion
658
00:27:48,884 --> 00:27:50,799
as to how it might have
come to be.
659
00:27:50,843 --> 00:27:52,714
Well done.
660
00:27:52,758 --> 00:27:56,109
Given that we played
your tape...
661
00:27:56,152 --> 00:27:58,198
...despite the fact
that it remains
662
00:27:58,241 --> 00:28:00,896
unauthenticated by the witness,
663
00:28:00,940 --> 00:28:04,204
it doesn't seem unreasonable
to allow that same witness
664
00:28:04,247 --> 00:28:09,470
an opportunity to explain
what he thinks we saw.
665
00:28:09,513 --> 00:28:11,515
The witness
will answer the question.
666
00:28:12,908 --> 00:28:14,867
I believe it's what's known
as a deepfake.
667
00:28:14,910 --> 00:28:17,043
And would you please
explain to the jury
668
00:28:17,086 --> 00:28:18,740
what a deepfake is?
669
00:28:18,784 --> 00:28:22,004
It's like Photoshop for video.
670
00:28:22,048 --> 00:28:24,006
You take a person
in an existing video
671
00:28:24,050 --> 00:28:25,747
and you replace them
with someone else's likeness,
672
00:28:25,791 --> 00:28:27,836
someone else's voice.
673
00:28:27,880 --> 00:28:30,752
They're becoming very easy,
very inexpensive to make.
674
00:28:30,796 --> 00:28:32,536
You see a lot of them
on social media.
675
00:28:32,580 --> 00:28:35,061
Uh, okay,
and-and just to be clear,
676
00:28:35,104 --> 00:28:38,760
you have no idea
where this video came from,
677
00:28:38,804 --> 00:28:41,632
and you have no idea
who made it?
678
00:28:41,676 --> 00:28:43,373
I can guess.
679
00:28:43,417 --> 00:28:45,027
Look, there are only
five or six of us
680
00:28:45,071 --> 00:28:46,637
who do this for a living.
681
00:28:46,681 --> 00:28:48,117
Ms. Shaughnessy's job,
682
00:28:48,161 --> 00:28:49,684
while it might sound
like a lot of money,
683
00:28:49,728 --> 00:28:52,252
is actually on the more modest
end of things.
684
00:28:52,295 --> 00:28:55,081
There are million-dollar
assignments out there.
685
00:28:55,124 --> 00:28:58,084
I'm guessing a competitor heard
about the trouble I was in
686
00:28:58,127 --> 00:28:59,563
and saw a way to put me
out of business,
687
00:28:59,607 --> 00:29:01,652
thin the herd.
688
00:29:01,696 --> 00:29:03,045
That'd be my guess.
689
00:29:03,089 --> 00:29:04,917
That's an interesting theory.
690
00:29:04,960 --> 00:29:07,746
And I guess the only way
that we'll ever know
691
00:29:07,789 --> 00:29:11,358
is by asking my colleague
who gave him the tape.
692
00:29:13,839 --> 00:29:17,320
If I can please ask counsel
to approach the bench?
693
00:29:21,934 --> 00:29:24,066
Well, here we are.
694

I'm gonna make some calls.
869
00:36:25,661 --> 00:36:27,533
If we can't get
a satisfied mom to testify,
870
00:36:27,576 --> 00:36:30,188
maybe angry dad is
the next best thing.
871
00:36:37,064 --> 00:36:40,023
Tilda! I know you're in there!
872
00:36:41,938 --> 00:36:44,811
Tilda, open up this door
or I'll kick it in!
873
00:36:46,334 --> 00:36:48,249
You know,
destruction of property
874
00:36:48,293 --> 00:36:49,903
carries jail time
in Pennsylvania.
875
00:36:49,946 --> 00:36:51,252
Who are you?
Where's Matilda?
876
00:36:51,296 --> 00:36:53,036
Where are my kids?Oh, they're long gone.
877
00:36:53,080 --> 00:36:55,909
I'm Danny James.
I'm guessing you're Beto Fontes?
878
00:36:57,476 --> 00:36:59,173
I'll take that
as a yes.
879
00:36:59,217 --> 00:37:01,219
What's this?
880
00:37:01,262 --> 00:37:04,309
That's a subpoena
to appear in federal court.
881
00:37:04,352 --> 00:37:05,745
As a witness for the defense
in the case
882
00:37:05,788 --> 00:37:08,269
of The United States
v. Hank Alston.
883
00:37:08,313 --> 00:37:10,532
Hank Alston?
884
00:37:10,576 --> 00:37:12,752
I don't think so.
885
00:37:12,795 --> 00:37:13,927
Oh, I do.
886
00:37:13,970 --> 00:37:15,798
Federal judges don't like
to be ignored.
887
00:37:18,410 --> 00:37:19,715
If you don't comply
with this subpoena,
888
00:37:19,759 --> 00:37:21,848
you'll be arrested,
then deported.
889
00:37:21,891 --> 00:37:24,242
And almost certainly barred
reentry into the United States.
890
00:37:24,285 --> 00:37:26,287
So... I'd show up if I were you.
891
00:37:27,332 --> 00:37:30,683
CHUNK:Thank you for joining us
today, Mr. Fontes.
892
00:37:30,726 --> 00:37:32,989
Now you are a resident of
Saão Paolo, Brazil,
893
00:37:33,033 --> 00:37:34,164
is that correct?
894
00:37:34,208 --> 00:37:36,254
Yes. That's correct.
895
00:37:36,297 --> 00:37:38,038
And what brings you
to the States?
896
00:37:38,081 --> 00:37:39,518
I'm here on business.
897
00:37:39,561 --> 00:37:41,781
Oh, would that be
professional business
898
00:37:41,824 --> 00:37:44,218
or personal business?
899
00:37:48,527 --> 00:37:50,616
Just business.
900
00:37:50,659 --> 00:37:53,880
I'm sorry, you're not answering
my question, Mr. Fontes.
901
00:37:53,923 --> 00:37:56,186
Is the nature of your business
902
00:37:56,230 --> 00:37:58,363
professional or personal?
903
00:38:01,496 --> 00:38:02,802
MARISSA:
I don't know about this, Bull.
904
00:38:02,845 --> 00:38:04,586
This man clearly hates
our client.
905
00:38:04,630 --> 00:38:07,850
How can we be sure
he's gonna say what we want?
906
00:38:07,894 --> 00:38:09,939
Actually, we're counting
on the fact that he won't.
907
00:38:09,983 --> 00:38:11,767
And then that he will.
908
00:38:11,811 --> 00:38:13,203
Listen and learn.
909
00:38:13,247 --> 00:38:15,075
CHUNK:
Let's try it a different way.
910
00:38:15,118 --> 00:38:17,295
Does my client, Hank Alston,
911
00:38:17,338 --> 00:38:19,732
have anything to do
with your business here
912
00:38:19,775 --> 00:38:20,994
in the States?
913
00:38:21,037 --> 00:38:24,214
Your client steals children.
914
00:38:24,258 --> 00:38:26,826
He does this for money.
915
00:38:26,869 --> 00:38:29,655
You're not answering
my question, Mr. Fontes.
916
00:38:29,698 --> 00:38:31,352
Step one.
917
00:38:31,396 --> 00:38:32,701
Your Honor,
as Mr. Fontes
918
00:38:32,745 --> 00:38:34,399
is clearly unwilling
919
00:38:34,442 --> 00:38:36,401
to answer the questions
being asked,
920
00:38:36,444 --> 00:38:38,141
unwilling to cooperate at all,
921
00:38:38,185 --> 00:38:41,101
I request permission to treat
him as a hostile witness.
922
00:38:41,144 --> 00:38:42,320
Permission granted.
923
00:38:42,363 --> 00:38:43,973
Mr. Fontes,
924
00:38:44,017 --> 00:38:45,975
you've just been declared
a hostile witness.
925
00:38:46,019 --> 00:38:47,281
Do you know what that means?
926
00:38:47,325 --> 00:38:48,891
No. Nor do I care.
927
00:38:48,935 --> 00:38:51,764
It means that I get to ask
you leading questions.
928
00:38:51,807 --> 00:38:54,157
Do you know what
a leading question is?
929
00:38:55,376 --> 00:38:57,509
It means that I get
to ask you a question
930
00:38:57,552 --> 00:39:00,338
that contains the answer
that I'm looking for.
931
00:39:00,381 --> 00:39:02,949
Now, normally I don't get
to do that, it's not allowed.
932
00:39:02,992 --> 00:39:05,517
But because you've been
declared hostile...
933
00:39:05,560 --> 00:39:06,866
You know what? Here, let me...
934
00:39:06,909 --> 00:39:09,042
let me give you an example.
935
00:39:09,085 --> 00:39:12,306
You are here...
in the United States
936
00:39:12,350 --> 00:39:15,309
because this is where your
children live, is that correct?
937
00:39:17,398 --> 00:39:20,880
In fact, you came here
to steal them back.
938
00:39:20,923 --> 00:39:22,577
Didn't you?
939
00:39:22,621 --> 00:39:24,797
You do know that
that's against U.S. law?
940
00:39:24,840 --> 00:39:27,321
And by the way, so is perjury.
941
00:39:29,323 --> 00:39:31,369
I'm waiting for
an answer, sir.
942
00:39:32,587 --> 00:39:34,720
The witness will answer
the question
943
00:39:34,763 --> 00:39:37,026
or be held
in contempt.
944
00:39:37,070 --> 00:39:39,333
I'm here to see my children.
945
00:39:39,377 --> 00:39:42,423
I have a right
to see my children.
946
00:39:42,467 --> 00:39:44,207
Well, not according
to U.S. law you don't.
947
00:39:44,251 --> 00:39:46,775
Not since you kidnapped
them from their mother.
948
00:39:46,819 --> 00:39:48,037
[murmuring]
949
00:39:48,081 --> 00:39:49,822
Sorry, I forgot to tell you.
950
00:39:49,865 --> 00:39:51,214
We're deep into step two.
951
00:39:51,258 --> 00:39:53,869
You kidnapped your
children from their mother,
952
00:39:53,913 --> 00:39:56,394
their legal guardian,
and you held them captive
953
00:39:56,437 --> 00:39:58,570
in your home in Brazil,
didn't you?
954
00:39:58,613 --> 00:39:59,614
No.
955
00:39:59,658 --> 00:40:02,225
No? Yes, you did.
956
00:40:02,269 --> 00:40:05,011
In fact, the only reason
those kids are safely back
957
00:40:05,054 --> 00:40:07,927
in the States with their mother
is because that man,
958
00:40:07,970 --> 00:40:10,146
my client,
flew down to Brazil
959
00:40:10,190 --> 00:40:11,365
and rescued them.
960
00:40:11,409 --> 00:40:12,932
"Rescued them"?
961
00:40:12,975 --> 00:40:15,325
From me? They are mine.
962
00:40:15,369 --> 00:40:18,067
I am their father!
963
00:40:18,111 --> 00:40:21,027
Your client is the kidnapper!
The thief!
964
00:40:21,070 --> 00:40:23,725
He snuck into my home
in the middle of the night
965
00:40:23,769 --> 00:40:27,207
and snatched my children
from their beds!
966
00:40:27,250 --> 00:40:31,254
I saw him... climbing over
the wall with my little boy!
967
00:40:31,298 --> 00:40:33,431
He is the criminal, not me!
968
00:40:33,474 --> 00:40:35,650
So you're testifying under oath
969
00:40:35,694 --> 00:40:38,784
that you saw my client
break into your home
970
00:40:38,827 --> 00:40:41,351
and take your children
for the sole purpose
971
00:40:41,395 --> 00:40:42,962
of returning them
to their mother,
972
00:40:43,005 --> 00:40:46,922
who the U.S. government says
is their primary parent?
973
00:40:46,966 --> 00:40:48,228
Hell yes.
974
00:40:51,666 --> 00:40:53,451
Ta-da.
975
00:40:54,887 --> 00:40:57,498
Ah, two of my favorite words
in the English language.
976
00:40:57,542 --> 00:40:59,587
"Not guilty."
977
00:40:59,631 --> 00:41:01,676
I can't thank
you guys enough.
978
00:41:01,720 --> 00:41:03,286
And Matilda
and her kids?
979
00:41:03,330 --> 00:41:05,506
They're safe-- our team
made sure they were safe.
980
00:41:05,550 --> 00:41:08,117
I don't know what to say.
981
00:41:08,161 --> 00:41:10,468
What's next?
Where you jetting off to?
982
00:41:14,254 --> 00:41:16,169
Well...
983
00:41:16,212 --> 00:41:18,650
I think the next thing is
I shave off all this hair,
984
00:41:18,693 --> 00:41:21,827
get some different clothes, get
another plane ticket to Russia,
985
00:41:21,870 --> 00:41:24,917
try one more time to bring
that lady's little girl home.
986
00:41:24,960 --> 00:41:27,659
Well, let us know how it goes.
987
00:41:27,702 --> 00:41:29,269
Be careful.
988
00:41:29,312 --> 00:41:30,923
I will.
989
00:41:30,966 --> 00:41:33,273
Mr. Palmer, Dr. Bull.
990
00:41:39,540 --> 00:41:42,195
♪
991
00:41:51,247 --> 00:41:53,206
MESSINA: Ladies and gentlemen
of the press, thank you
992
00:41:53,249 --> 00:41:55,556
for coming out here today.
993
00:41:55,600 --> 00:41:57,558
After a great deal of
soul-searching,
994
00:41:57,602 --> 00:41:59,212
I have decided to...
995
00:41:59,255 --> 00:42:01,649
withdraw from the race
996
00:42:01,693 --> 00:42:05,566
for district attorney
of the city of New York.
997
00:42:05,610 --> 00:42:06,915
Um...
998
00:42:06,959 --> 00:42:08,438
Well, the truth is
999
00:42:08,482 --> 00:42:11,833
that I've been struggling
for quite some time
1000
00:42:11,877 --> 00:42:13,792
with a number
of personal problems.
1001
00:42:13,835 --> 00:42:16,446
And I thought I had licked them.
1002
00:42:16,490 --> 00:42:20,233
But clearly...
I'm not quite there yet.
1003
00:42:20,276 --> 00:42:23,410
So for that reason,
I'm gonna take a step back.
1004
00:42:24,106 --> 00:42:26,021
And I'm gonna focus
on my recovery
1005
00:42:26,065 --> 00:42:27,457
and my health...
