Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:05,094 --> 00:00:06,803
In the criminal justice system,
2
00:00:06,828 --> 00:00:08,029
the people are represented
3
00:00:08,063 --> 00:00:10,741
by two separate,
yet equally important groups:
4
00:00:10,766 --> 00:00:12,667
the police who investigate crime,
5
00:00:12,702 --> 00:00:15,637
and the district attorneys
who prosecute the offenders.
6
00:00:15,671 --> 00:00:17,272
These are their stories.
7
00:00:19,041 --> 00:00:20,809
Yo, check out this fool's...
8
00:00:20,843 --> 00:00:22,177
Yeah, come here, come here.
9
00:00:22,211 --> 00:00:23,311
Are you deaf or somethin', bro?
10
00:00:23,346 --> 00:00:25,614
Hey, hey, I'm talkin' to you!
11
00:00:25,648 --> 00:00:27,115
You're disgusting, you know that?
12
00:00:27,149 --> 00:00:29,284
Hey. What's goin' on?
13
00:00:29,882 --> 00:00:31,853
None of your damn business.
14
00:00:31,888 --> 00:00:34,256
Try again, dumbass.
15
00:00:35,798 --> 00:00:37,232
Kiss my ass.
16
00:00:37,627 --> 00:00:39,394
- Stop walkin'.
- You got no right
17
00:00:39,428 --> 00:00:41,162
to tell me what to do.
- I got all kinds of rights.
18
00:00:41,197 --> 00:00:43,164
I said stop walking, or I'll arrest you.
19
00:00:43,199 --> 00:00:45,800
- For what?
- For being a punk,
20
00:00:45,835 --> 00:00:49,304
and I'll arrest you too
for being an accomplice.
21
00:00:49,338 --> 00:00:51,306
You guys think you're so tough,
22
00:00:51,340 --> 00:00:54,943
just pickin' on some dude
who's down on his luck.
23
00:00:54,977 --> 00:00:57,345
Why don't you pick on me instead?
24
00:01:01,617 --> 00:01:03,151
Sorry, we were just playin' around.
25
00:01:03,185 --> 00:01:04,619
- Get the hell outta here.
- Okay.
26
00:01:11,661 --> 00:01:13,147
Sir, you okay?
27
00:01:13,172 --> 00:01:15,273
You need anything?
28
00:01:15,308 --> 00:01:16,374
All right.
29
00:01:21,247 --> 00:01:22,247
Dixon.
30
00:01:24,450 --> 00:01:25,851
'Kay, we're on it.
31
00:01:29,789 --> 00:01:31,323
Here you go.
32
00:01:31,357 --> 00:01:34,392
Hey, Frank. It's me.
33
00:01:34,427 --> 00:01:35,861
We just got a body.
34
00:01:38,331 --> 00:01:41,333
DOA is a black male,
late teens, early 20s.
35
00:01:41,367 --> 00:01:43,235
No name, no ID.
36
00:01:48,674 --> 00:01:50,542
Found him naked in the trunk.
37
00:01:50,576 --> 00:01:52,410
Of a car?
38
00:01:52,445 --> 00:01:55,247
No, luggage.
39
00:01:55,281 --> 00:01:57,816
- How'd he die?
- Uh, not sure.
40
00:01:57,850 --> 00:02:00,185
Any obvious injuries...
Contusions, cuts, scratches?
41
00:02:00,219 --> 00:02:02,120
No, nothing like that.
42
00:02:02,154 --> 00:02:03,240
Time of death?
43
00:02:03,265 --> 00:02:06,024
Ballpark, between 1:00 and 5:00 a.m.
44
00:02:06,058 --> 00:02:08,827
Who found the body?
45
00:02:08,861 --> 00:02:11,263
She was walking to work,
saw the fancy trunk,
46
00:02:11,297 --> 00:02:13,098
tried to wheel it off,
realized there was something
47
00:02:13,132 --> 00:02:16,422
inside, opened it up...
Wasn't expecting to see
48
00:02:16,447 --> 00:02:19,062
a bare-ass dead dude,
I'll tell you that much.
49
00:02:20,306 --> 00:02:23,441
Mama always said, "If you
see something in the street,
50
00:02:23,476 --> 00:02:25,443
leave it be."
51
00:03:04,017 --> 00:03:08,017
- Synced and corrected by synk -
- www.addic7ed.com -
52
00:03:13,459 --> 00:03:14,893
Still waiting on tox report.
53
00:03:14,927 --> 00:03:17,462
But cause of death appears
to be a drug overdose.
54
00:03:17,496 --> 00:03:19,998
No petechiae hemorrhage,
and his hyoid is intact.
55
00:03:20,032 --> 00:03:22,000
So he definitely wasn't strangled.
56
00:03:22,034 --> 00:03:23,435
What else do we know?
57
00:03:23,469 --> 00:03:27,138
Found a tiny puncture wound
on his left arm.
58
00:03:27,173 --> 00:03:28,840
Guessing that's where he shot up.
59
00:03:28,874 --> 00:03:31,476
Also found ligature marks on his wrists
60
00:03:31,510 --> 00:03:34,245
and some trace evidence of
gold polyester fibers.
61
00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:36,114
- Somebody restrained him.
- Looks that way.
62
00:03:36,148 --> 00:03:38,550
So the kid was having
some fun in the bedroom,
63
00:03:38,584 --> 00:03:40,185
decides to shoot up and ODs...
64
00:03:40,219 --> 00:03:43,922
And somehow ends up in a damn suitcase.
65
00:03:43,956 --> 00:03:46,491
Maybe somebody he was
partying with panics,
66
00:03:46,525 --> 00:03:49,027
sticks the dead kid in a trunk,
and dumps him on the street.
67
00:03:49,061 --> 00:03:51,029
That's possible, but there's no sign
68
00:03:51,063 --> 00:03:53,398
of recent sexual activity.
69
00:03:53,432 --> 00:03:55,000
No DNA on the body either.
70
00:03:55,034 --> 00:03:56,868
Hmm. Look at this.
71
00:03:57,870 --> 00:04:00,271
I'm gonna run this through ECMS.
72
00:04:07,046 --> 00:04:09,581
Yeah, that's Darien Wilson.
73
00:04:09,606 --> 00:04:10,773
- Are you saying that he...
- Yeah.
74
00:04:10,816 --> 00:04:12,617
We found his body this morning.
75
00:04:12,652 --> 00:04:14,686
What happened? How did he die?
76
00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:16,187
Drug overdose.
77
00:04:16,222 --> 00:04:19,357
Drugs? I find that hard to believe.
78
00:04:19,392 --> 00:04:21,059
He took such good care of himself,
79
00:04:21,093 --> 00:04:24,129
had a lot of pride in his body
and in his craft.
80
00:04:24,163 --> 00:04:25,664
He used to come here for rehearsals
81
00:04:25,698 --> 00:04:27,899
three or four times a week.
82
00:04:27,933 --> 00:04:29,934
He was so talented.
83
00:04:29,969 --> 00:04:33,405
Darien have a girlfriend, boyfriend?
84
00:04:33,439 --> 00:04:35,407
I'm... I'm not sure.
I knew he was gay, but...
85
00:04:35,441 --> 00:04:36,708
What about his family?
86
00:04:36,742 --> 00:04:38,910
Do his parents live in the city?
87
00:04:38,944 --> 00:04:41,110
Yes, in the Bronx.
88
00:04:44,950 --> 00:04:46,117
I told that boy he was too young
89
00:04:46,152 --> 00:04:48,720
to move out and live on his own...
90
00:04:48,754 --> 00:04:50,288
too many temptations.
91
00:04:50,322 --> 00:04:53,399
When was the last time
you talked to Darien?
92
00:04:54,126 --> 00:04:56,327
It's been a while,
93
00:04:56,362 --> 00:04:57,562
over a year.
94
00:04:57,596 --> 00:04:59,064
And how about you, ma'am?
95
00:04:59,098 --> 00:05:00,799
When was the last time
you talked to your son?
96
00:05:03,302 --> 00:05:04,969
A month ago.
97
00:05:05,004 --> 00:05:07,906
I just said hi,
98
00:05:07,940 --> 00:05:10,608
asked how he was doing.
99
00:05:10,643 --> 00:05:11,976
Young man.
100
00:05:13,479 --> 00:05:16,481
Um... not really sure.
101
00:05:16,515 --> 00:05:18,183
Last year?
102
00:05:18,217 --> 00:05:20,858
Is there a reason
for this lack of communication?
103
00:05:20,883 --> 00:05:22,420
Darien chose to pursue a lifestyle
104
00:05:22,455 --> 00:05:25,623
that conflicted with our beliefs.
105
00:05:25,658 --> 00:05:28,426
Oh... I see.
106
00:05:28,461 --> 00:05:31,262
When he told us
that he was a homosexual,
107
00:05:31,297 --> 00:05:34,099
I said we'd get him some counseling,
108
00:05:34,133 --> 00:05:36,935
give him a chance to get
himself right with God.
109
00:05:36,969 --> 00:05:38,770
But he wasn't interested,
110
00:05:38,804 --> 00:05:40,305
and that was that.
111
00:05:40,339 --> 00:05:42,373
Do you know where Darien was living?
112
00:05:49,515 --> 00:05:51,750
No, I... I don't...
113
00:05:51,784 --> 00:05:54,185
Thank you for your time.
114
00:06:09,368 --> 00:06:10,769
I can't believe what I just heard.
115
00:06:10,803 --> 00:06:13,271
What is this, 1954?
116
00:06:13,305 --> 00:06:16,474
Kickin' a kid out because
you think he chose to be gay?
117
00:06:16,509 --> 00:06:19,177
Crazy, but it's still a thing
in my community,
118
00:06:19,211 --> 00:06:20,812
especially among the religious folks.
119
00:06:20,846 --> 00:06:22,080
I don't get it.
120
00:06:22,114 --> 00:06:24,015
- Get what?
- People... Black people.
121
00:06:24,049 --> 00:06:25,350
Here you are marching the streets
122
00:06:25,384 --> 00:06:28,186
for police reform,
all these progressive laws,
123
00:06:28,220 --> 00:06:29,821
but if your kid turns out to be gay,
124
00:06:29,855 --> 00:06:31,823
well, he needs counseling.
125
00:06:31,857 --> 00:06:33,825
You need to make him right with God.
126
00:06:33,859 --> 00:06:36,127
You ask me, that's what you
should be marching about.
127
00:06:36,162 --> 00:06:37,695
Okay, you're right.
128
00:06:37,730 --> 00:06:40,198
But don't act like your people
are much better, all right?
129
00:06:40,232 --> 00:06:42,400
Because you still can't have
pre-marital sex,
130
00:06:42,434 --> 00:06:43,568
for God's sake.
131
00:06:43,602 --> 00:06:47,038
Reason number 36 why I don't
go to church anymore.
132
00:06:47,072 --> 00:06:50,275
Detective Bernard. Okay.
133
00:06:50,309 --> 00:06:52,977
Go on. Hey, write this down.
134
00:06:54,878 --> 00:06:59,862
124 East 9th Street, apartment 2C.
135
00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:03,354
Appreciate you for reaching out.
136
00:07:05,157 --> 00:07:07,125
Kid brother.
Said he went to visit Darien
137
00:07:07,159 --> 00:07:08,726
two weeks ago.
138
00:07:08,761 --> 00:07:12,063
Was afraid to say something
in front of his father.
139
00:07:12,097 --> 00:07:14,098
I spoke to Darien's roommate...
140
00:07:14,133 --> 00:07:15,533
Young lady by the name of Sophie.
141
00:07:15,568 --> 00:07:17,735
She said Darien was there
most of the day yesterday.
142
00:07:17,770 --> 00:07:22,140
Left at 6:00 in an Uber
to attend a fancy "soiree."
143
00:07:22,174 --> 00:07:24,876
Dani's trying to track down
the destination now.
144
00:07:24,910 --> 00:07:27,812
What else do we know?
Any interesting texts, emails?
145
00:07:27,847 --> 00:07:30,148
- Any talk of drug use?
- No.
146
00:07:30,182 --> 00:07:33,451
Did he mention any new
friends, a new boyfriend?
147
00:07:33,485 --> 00:07:35,653
Uh, best I could find is this...
148
00:07:35,688 --> 00:07:36,855
Sent two days ago:
149
00:07:36,889 --> 00:07:38,890
"TBM is trippin', like, for real.
150
00:07:38,924 --> 00:07:42,227
But he's still kinda dope."
I have no idea what that means.
151
00:07:42,261 --> 00:07:45,897
Some dude named TBM is acting weird,
152
00:07:45,931 --> 00:07:48,666
but Darien still thinks he's awesome.
153
00:07:49,935 --> 00:07:51,369
M.E. called ten minutes ago,
154
00:07:51,403 --> 00:07:52,904
said the official cause of death
155
00:07:52,938 --> 00:07:55,607
was acute methamphetamine toxicity,
156
00:07:55,641 --> 00:07:59,201
said they found 2 milliliters
of concentrated meth
157
00:07:59,226 --> 00:08:00,245
in Darien's vein,
158
00:08:00,279 --> 00:08:03,214
meaning it never metabolized
into his bloodstream.
159
00:08:03,249 --> 00:08:05,116
Meaning someone shot him up again
160
00:08:05,150 --> 00:08:06,885
after he was already dead.
161
00:08:06,919 --> 00:08:09,153
So let's keep working this case
162
00:08:09,188 --> 00:08:11,122
until we figure out
what the hell happened.
163
00:08:11,156 --> 00:08:12,891
Hey, just got access
to Darien's Uber account.
164
00:08:12,925 --> 00:08:15,627
So his last destination
was 321 Green Street,
165
00:08:15,661 --> 00:08:17,929
an art gallery downtown,
and it looks like there was
166
00:08:17,963 --> 00:08:21,065
a fundraising event there last
night for Senator Jack Nathan.
167
00:08:21,100 --> 00:08:23,668
Okay, let's track down this host.
168
00:08:27,806 --> 00:08:29,440
It was a great event.
169
00:08:29,475 --> 00:08:32,944
I raised $2 million for Senator Nathan.
170
00:08:32,978 --> 00:08:34,646
- From Connecticut?
- Mm-hmm.
171
00:08:34,680 --> 00:08:38,149
If he plays it right,
he could be president...
172
00:08:38,183 --> 00:08:41,185
Smart, handsome, charming.
173
00:08:41,220 --> 00:08:44,289
His politics
transcend party lines too...
174
00:08:44,323 --> 00:08:48,293
Strong family values,
moderate on economic issues,
175
00:08:48,327 --> 00:08:50,628
yet still viewed as
a progressive on social issues.
176
00:08:50,663 --> 00:08:54,057
Did this young man attend your event?
177
00:08:55,301 --> 00:08:58,870
Uh... you'd have to talk
to the catering company.
178
00:08:58,904 --> 00:09:01,239
You know, they're in charge
of hiring the staff.
179
00:09:01,273 --> 00:09:04,475
Young and Black... Gotta be hired help.
180
00:09:04,510 --> 00:09:06,678
I wasn't suggesting that...
181
00:09:07,385 --> 00:09:11,883
I mean, most of the invitees
were between 50 and 60,
182
00:09:11,917 --> 00:09:13,718
you know, people I know.
183
00:09:13,752 --> 00:09:16,154
Is it possible the man was
a guest of someone you know?
184
00:09:16,188 --> 00:09:17,875
- Sure.
- How many people
185
00:09:17,900 --> 00:09:20,992
- were at the event?
- A... hundred?
186
00:09:21,026 --> 00:09:24,529
You know, not including help.
187
00:09:24,563 --> 00:09:26,864
Did this event space
have security cameras?
188
00:09:26,899 --> 00:09:31,302
Yes, but I insisted that the
gallery owner deactivate them.
189
00:09:31,337 --> 00:09:33,671
Why is that?
190
00:09:33,706 --> 00:09:37,275
Well, because I want people
to feel comfortable,
191
00:09:37,309 --> 00:09:39,777
to enjoy themselves,
not to have to worry
192
00:09:39,812 --> 00:09:42,380
about saying or doing the wrong things.
193
00:09:42,414 --> 00:09:44,782
It's how you raise money, Detective.
194
00:09:44,817 --> 00:09:47,385
I'll keep that in mind.
195
00:09:47,419 --> 00:09:49,587
Before we go,
do you mind giving us the name
196
00:09:49,621 --> 00:09:51,823
of that catering company,
if you don't mind?
197
00:09:53,926 --> 00:09:57,895
Mm-hmm, okay, thanks.
198
00:09:57,930 --> 00:09:59,297
Just talked to the caterer.
199
00:09:59,331 --> 00:10:01,268
They didn't recognize Darien's photo.
200
00:10:01,293 --> 00:10:05,903
So contrary to Swanson's
belief, he was not a waiter.
201
00:10:05,938 --> 00:10:08,973
He was a guest. Any luck?
202
00:10:09,008 --> 00:10:11,576
Yeah, I just found video of
Darien a few hundred yards away
203
00:10:11,610 --> 00:10:14,479
from the art gallery about 8:45 p.m.
204
00:10:14,513 --> 00:10:16,381
Can you zoom in on that other guy?
205
00:10:18,951 --> 00:10:20,151
It's pretty good resolution.
206
00:10:20,185 --> 00:10:21,573
I'll send it over to Facial Rec.
207
00:10:21,598 --> 00:10:25,056
No need. That's our guest of honor,
208
00:10:25,090 --> 00:10:27,258
Senator Jack Nathan.
209
00:10:35,245 --> 00:10:36,444
Hey.
210
00:10:36,478 --> 00:10:37,852
- Oh, that was great.
- Yeah.
211
00:10:37,877 --> 00:10:39,681
Thanks a lot, thank you.
212
00:10:39,715 --> 00:10:41,940
Senator, excuse me.
213
00:10:43,339 --> 00:10:44,740
Take it easy, guys.
214
00:10:44,782 --> 00:10:47,717
- We just wanna talk.
- About what?
215
00:10:47,752 --> 00:10:49,352
Last night's fundraiser.
216
00:10:49,387 --> 00:10:52,656
Or we can take a ride up to
your home in Connecticut,
217
00:10:52,690 --> 00:10:55,292
if you'd prefer.
218
00:10:55,326 --> 00:10:57,761
No need. It's all good.
219
00:10:57,795 --> 00:10:59,896
Come on, let's walk.
220
00:11:01,132 --> 00:11:04,067
- So what can I do for you?
- You know this young man?
221
00:11:04,102 --> 00:11:06,803
- Looks vaguely familiar, but...
- How 'bout now?
222
00:11:08,406 --> 00:11:10,140
He look more familiar?
223
00:11:12,310 --> 00:11:13,543
That's you, isn't it?
224
00:11:16,911 --> 00:11:19,816
Like I said earlier,
the senator is willing
225
00:11:19,851 --> 00:11:21,985
to answer questions off the record.
226
00:11:22,019 --> 00:11:24,654
- No such thing.
- Then he's not talking.
227
00:11:24,689 --> 00:11:26,389
Choice number two.
228
00:11:26,424 --> 00:11:28,158
We do a deep dive on the senator,
229
00:11:28,192 --> 00:11:30,961
start asking lots of questions... lots.
230
00:11:30,995 --> 00:11:33,396
- We open a grand jury...
- Is that a threat?
231
00:11:33,431 --> 00:11:34,631
No, it's a statement of fact.
232
00:11:34,665 --> 00:11:35,989
This is a homicide investigation.
233
00:11:36,014 --> 00:11:37,882
Do you understand?
234
00:11:40,171 --> 00:11:41,605
Okay.
235
00:11:43,841 --> 00:11:46,143
I met Darien last night.
236
00:11:46,177 --> 00:11:48,979
But hold on a second.
You said he's dead?
237
00:11:49,013 --> 00:11:51,515
- What are you talking about?
- Died of a meth overdose.
238
00:11:51,549 --> 00:11:54,217
A woman found his naked body
on the street this morning.
239
00:11:54,252 --> 00:11:55,919
I had no idea.
240
00:11:57,455 --> 00:11:59,723
- Oh, that's terrible.
- Sure is.
241
00:11:59,757 --> 00:12:02,726
I left the fundraiser at about 8:45,
242
00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:05,762
and then I went uptown
to Kyle Swanson's townhouse.
243
00:12:05,796 --> 00:12:07,831
He was having a few people
over for drinks.
244
00:12:07,865 --> 00:12:10,066
- And you took Darien with you?
- Yes.
245
00:12:10,101 --> 00:12:13,170
So you and Darien drove
uptown to this after-party.
246
00:12:13,204 --> 00:12:14,771
What time did you get there, 9:00 or so?
247
00:12:14,805 --> 00:12:17,374
- Something like that.
- How many people were there?
248
00:12:17,408 --> 00:12:20,710
- Ten.
- Boys and girls, or...
249
00:12:20,745 --> 00:12:22,179
Just boys.
250
00:12:23,881 --> 00:12:25,749
How long did you and Darien stay?
251
00:12:25,783 --> 00:12:28,251
About an hour, maybe a little bit more.
252
00:12:28,286 --> 00:12:31,888
But... I wasn't with Darien.
253
00:12:31,923 --> 00:12:34,824
Like I said, I just gave him a ride.
254
00:12:34,859 --> 00:12:38,695
- What'd you do at this party?
- Drinking, socializing.
255
00:12:38,729 --> 00:12:41,064
Care to be more specific?
256
00:12:45,002 --> 00:12:48,338
People were, you know,
hooking up with each other.
257
00:12:48,372 --> 00:12:50,740
- Did you hook up?
- I did.
258
00:12:50,775 --> 00:12:54,844
- With Darien?
- No. Someone else.
259
00:12:54,879 --> 00:12:57,247
- His name was Walter.
- Were there any drugs?
260
00:12:57,281 --> 00:12:58,682
Absolutely not.
261
00:12:58,716 --> 00:13:01,184
There's no way
I'd stand for any of that.
262
00:13:01,219 --> 00:13:04,254
But cheating on your wife,
that's no big deal?
263
00:13:04,288 --> 00:13:06,489
Look, I'm sorry this young man is dead.
264
00:13:06,524 --> 00:13:10,227
But I didn't see any drugs.
I don't know what happened.
265
00:13:10,261 --> 00:13:12,128
When I left Swanson's townhouse,
266
00:13:12,163 --> 00:13:15,498
Darien was still there
and still very much alive.
267
00:13:21,939 --> 00:13:24,608
Thank you, Ms. Brenda.
268
00:13:24,642 --> 00:13:26,309
Mr. Swanson,
269
00:13:26,344 --> 00:13:28,411
we have a few more questions
we'd like to ask you.
270
00:13:28,446 --> 00:13:30,146
Are we really still talking
about this drug addict?
271
00:13:30,181 --> 00:13:33,516
- Yes, we really are.
- This is absurd.
272
00:13:33,551 --> 00:13:37,287
Oh, it gets even more absurd.
We have a search warrant,
273
00:13:37,321 --> 00:13:39,656
which means we don't even need
your consent to be in here.
274
00:13:39,690 --> 00:13:42,292
So what's going on here, boys?
275
00:13:42,326 --> 00:13:44,027
Boys? Hell no.
276
00:13:44,061 --> 00:13:46,329
- We're men.
- It's just a word,
277
00:13:46,364 --> 00:13:47,530
a colloquialism.
278
00:13:47,565 --> 00:13:49,899
A colloquialism I don't like.
279
00:13:49,934 --> 00:13:53,270
I'm not a big fan either.
But as for your question,
280
00:13:53,304 --> 00:13:56,106
what's going on here is
you lied to us, Kyle.
281
00:13:56,140 --> 00:13:57,641
You said you didn't know Darien.
282
00:13:57,675 --> 00:13:59,476
Yet, in fact, he attended a party,
283
00:13:59,510 --> 00:14:00,944
an intimate gathering here,
284
00:14:00,978 --> 00:14:03,013
in your home, after the fundraiser.
285
00:14:03,047 --> 00:14:05,749
- What are you talking about?
- You can save it, Kyle.
286
00:14:05,783 --> 00:14:08,685
We've already spoken to Senator Nathan.
287
00:14:08,719 --> 00:14:11,187
Oh. I'm calling my lawyer.
288
00:14:11,222 --> 00:14:13,323
Yeah, that would be a good move.
289
00:14:17,595 --> 00:14:19,562
Hey, Kevin. Come here.
290
00:14:19,597 --> 00:14:20,730
Yeah.
291
00:14:23,334 --> 00:14:26,002
- Find something interesting?
- Yeah, sure did.
292
00:14:31,728 --> 00:14:33,428
Jackpot.
293
00:14:35,012 --> 00:14:36,379
I'm sure I'm not the only guy
294
00:14:36,414 --> 00:14:39,482
with Marcel Dupont luggage in New York.
295
00:14:39,517 --> 00:14:41,584
But I'm guessing
you're the only guy in New York
296
00:14:41,619 --> 00:14:44,921
with Marcel Dupont luggage
who happened to be entertaining
297
00:14:44,955 --> 00:14:49,820
the dead guy in his house
a few hours before he died.
298
00:14:50,027 --> 00:14:51,828
Plus, you lied to us.
299
00:14:51,862 --> 00:14:54,764
You said you had no idea who Darien was.
300
00:14:56,934 --> 00:15:00,603
Okay, I knew Darien.
301
00:15:00,638 --> 00:15:05,008
We were dating... very casually.
302
00:15:05,042 --> 00:15:07,243
So why not tell us that
in the first place?
303
00:15:07,278 --> 00:15:10,814
Because I don't like
publicizing my sex life.
304
00:15:10,848 --> 00:15:13,550
We're police, not paparazzi.
305
00:15:13,584 --> 00:15:14,918
And the man is dead.
306
00:15:14,952 --> 00:15:16,986
You're right.
307
00:15:17,021 --> 00:15:20,390
I screwed up. I... I apologize.
308
00:15:20,424 --> 00:15:24,194
So what did you do that
night after the guests left?
309
00:15:24,228 --> 00:15:26,196
I went to sleep... Around midnight.
310
00:15:26,230 --> 00:15:30,072
And Darien, he was alive and well?
311
00:15:30,097 --> 00:15:31,368
Yes.
312
00:15:31,402 --> 00:15:34,371
- Was he doin' drugs?
- Not to my knowledge.
313
00:15:34,405 --> 00:15:37,407
So how did he end up dead
and naked in your MD suitcase?
314
00:15:38,676 --> 00:15:39,909
Not sure.
315
00:15:39,944 --> 00:15:42,212
He could've gone out
after I fell asleep.
316
00:15:42,246 --> 00:15:44,748
Like I said, it was a very
casual relationship.
317
00:15:44,782 --> 00:15:46,449
Yeah, and then what, huh?
318
00:15:46,484 --> 00:15:47,784
Hooked up with somebody else
319
00:15:47,818 --> 00:15:49,486
who just happened
to have an MD suitcase?
320
00:15:49,520 --> 00:15:51,421
We might not be rich, but we ain't dumb.
321
00:15:51,455 --> 00:15:53,590
My client doesn't know what happened.
322
00:15:53,624 --> 00:15:56,760
So if there are no other
questions, we'll be leaving.
323
00:15:57,695 --> 00:15:59,129
Sit your ass down.
324
00:15:59,163 --> 00:16:01,531
Who the hell do you think
you're talking to?
325
00:16:01,565 --> 00:16:03,666
You wanna lie? That's fine.
326
00:16:03,701 --> 00:16:06,836
But at least you can show
the courtesy of pretending
327
00:16:06,871 --> 00:16:09,038
that Darien's death actually mattered.
328
00:16:09,073 --> 00:16:13,209
A young man,
barely 20 years old, is dead.
329
00:16:13,244 --> 00:16:16,379
You're right. It is a tragedy.
330
00:16:16,414 --> 00:16:19,249
But it is a tragedy of his own making.
331
00:16:19,274 --> 00:16:24,150
He was an addict.
That's on him, no one else.
332
00:16:27,236 --> 00:16:29,353
Did you talk to the other men
at the after-party?
333
00:16:29,378 --> 00:16:31,271
Yeah, and all of them confirmed
334
00:16:31,305 --> 00:16:33,346
what Senator Nathan said.
335
00:16:33,371 --> 00:16:35,400
People were drinking and hooking up,
336
00:16:35,425 --> 00:16:38,494
and there was no over-drug use.
337
00:16:38,528 --> 00:16:40,896
Party ended pretty early too.
Last guest left at midnight.
338
00:16:40,931 --> 00:16:44,133
- Was Darian still there?
- Yes, and the last guy to exit
339
00:16:44,167 --> 00:16:46,302
was an art dealer named Robert Harper.
340
00:16:46,336 --> 00:16:49,338
He said Swanson and Darien
were the only ones in the house
341
00:16:49,372 --> 00:16:50,673
when he left and that
they were sitting on a couch
342
00:16:50,707 --> 00:16:52,541
- drinking wine.
- So from midnight on,
343
00:16:52,576 --> 00:16:55,311
it was just Swanson and Darien
in the townhouse.
344
00:16:55,345 --> 00:16:58,013
And then he probably
wheeled him down 10th Street
345
00:16:58,048 --> 00:16:59,815
and then dumps the body.
346
00:16:59,849 --> 00:17:02,351
Time frame works, but we
still don't have anything
347
00:17:02,385 --> 00:17:04,820
that proves Swanson shot him
up, and since it was just
348
00:17:04,854 --> 00:17:06,822
the two of them, we may never find it.
349
00:17:06,856 --> 00:17:10,192
This isn't Swanson's maiden voyage.
350
00:17:10,227 --> 00:17:13,028
He gets off on shootin'
dudes up like Darien.
351
00:17:13,063 --> 00:17:14,930
- Trust me.
- How do you know?
352
00:17:14,965 --> 00:17:16,999
It doesn't matter. I know.
353
00:17:17,033 --> 00:17:21,270
I got a feeling.
So talk to Darien's friends.
354
00:17:21,304 --> 00:17:23,505
Find out how he and Swanson met.
355
00:17:24,407 --> 00:17:26,575
There's a good chance
that he met other young men
356
00:17:26,610 --> 00:17:29,211
the same way and shot them up too.
357
00:17:31,348 --> 00:17:33,249
I can't believe he's dead.
358
00:17:33,283 --> 00:17:35,718
I talked to him a few days ago.
359
00:17:35,752 --> 00:17:37,620
Sounded like things were going
really well.
360
00:17:37,654 --> 00:17:39,955
You and Darien, you would
text back and forth, correct?
361
00:17:39,990 --> 00:17:41,957
Yeah, we were friends.
362
00:17:41,992 --> 00:17:45,160
And Darien sent you these, correct?
363
00:17:45,195 --> 00:17:46,795
- Yeah.
- So the person, TBM,
364
00:17:46,830 --> 00:17:50,466
he's referencing in the text,
is that Kyle Swanson?
365
00:17:50,500 --> 00:17:53,535
He used to call him The Big Man...
366
00:17:53,570 --> 00:17:56,071
'cause he was rich
and important and all that.
367
00:17:56,106 --> 00:17:58,374
- Do you know Swanson too?
- No.
368
00:17:58,408 --> 00:18:01,176
I never met him, but I saw him around.
369
00:18:01,211 --> 00:18:04,146
He comes here a lot.
370
00:18:05,715 --> 00:18:10,535
He only talks to pretty
young Black men, like Darien.
371
00:18:10,920 --> 00:18:13,489
- They met here?
- Yeah.
372
00:18:13,523 --> 00:18:15,324
You know anybody else
Swanson would party with?
373
00:18:15,358 --> 00:18:19,862
Um... yeah. His name's Andre.
374
00:18:19,896 --> 00:18:22,197
Used to be a bartender here.
375
00:18:25,068 --> 00:18:29,838
That man is pure evil.
He almost put me in the ground.
376
00:18:29,873 --> 00:18:31,907
How?
377
00:18:31,941 --> 00:18:36,480
Would shoot me up with meth.
He wouldn't stop either,
378
00:18:37,147 --> 00:18:40,149
no matter how many times I asked.
379
00:18:40,183 --> 00:18:42,251
He just kept on goin'.
380
00:18:42,285 --> 00:18:45,421
It was like the more I said "Stop,"
381
00:18:45,455 --> 00:18:48,157
- the more excited he got.
- You shoot him up too,
382
00:18:48,191 --> 00:18:52,161
- or was this one-way traffic?
- Nah man, he didn't get high.
383
00:18:52,195 --> 00:18:55,331
He gets off on power and the abuse.
384
00:18:56,132 --> 00:18:58,100
What kind of abuse?
385
00:19:02,272 --> 00:19:07,142
He'd, uh, tell me
to take off my clothes,
386
00:19:07,177 --> 00:19:11,247
and he'd tell me to pretend
like I was his...
387
00:19:12,949 --> 00:19:15,150
servant.
388
00:19:15,185 --> 00:19:16,952
He would use a different word,
of course.
389
00:19:16,986 --> 00:19:20,189
But I refuse to say it out loud.
390
00:19:20,223 --> 00:19:25,215
Then, uh, he'd tie me up and
start to shoot me up with meth.
391
00:19:25,660 --> 00:19:27,763
He would just watch you get high?
392
00:19:27,797 --> 00:19:30,666
That was exciting to him?
393
00:19:30,700 --> 00:19:32,301
No, man.
394
00:19:32,335 --> 00:19:34,970
It was way more screwed up than that.
395
00:19:35,004 --> 00:19:38,440
It was like he would walk
your ass up to heaven's gates
396
00:19:38,475 --> 00:19:41,844
and decide whether or not
you get to live or die.
397
00:19:41,878 --> 00:19:44,279
Sick son of a bitch thought
he was God or something.
398
00:19:44,314 --> 00:19:45,981
How many times did he slam you?
399
00:19:46,015 --> 00:19:47,182
Four times.
400
00:19:47,217 --> 00:19:48,817
The last time, I was in the hospital
401
00:19:48,852 --> 00:19:51,987
for six days in a coma.
402
00:19:52,021 --> 00:19:54,590
Why didn't you alert the police?
403
00:19:54,624 --> 00:19:56,792
He's rich.
404
00:19:56,826 --> 00:19:59,962
He has all kinds of important friends.
405
00:19:59,996 --> 00:20:02,131
I'm just a brotha from Georgia.
406
00:20:02,165 --> 00:20:03,966
I gotta ask...
407
00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:06,969
if you hated it so much,
why'd you let him do it to you?
408
00:20:07,003 --> 00:20:10,973
I have a mother and three
little sisters back home.
409
00:20:11,007 --> 00:20:13,242
He paid you.
410
00:20:13,276 --> 00:20:15,310
10 grand per session.
411
00:20:15,345 --> 00:20:17,346
But, look, man, no more.
412
00:20:17,380 --> 00:20:20,449
I'm done with all that. No more drugs,
413
00:20:20,483 --> 00:20:24,286
no more crazy old white men.
414
00:20:24,320 --> 00:20:26,922
Sounds like a good plan.
415
00:20:26,956 --> 00:20:30,125
Andre, I appreciate you coming down here
416
00:20:30,160 --> 00:20:31,226
and sharing your story.
417
00:20:31,261 --> 00:20:34,563
With your help,
we are gonna nail this bastard.
418
00:20:34,597 --> 00:20:37,699
If you need anything, call me.
419
00:20:46,276 --> 00:20:47,876
What's up, Frank?
420
00:20:47,911 --> 00:20:50,779
Look, I don't mean to get
personal here, Lieu, but...
421
00:20:50,814 --> 00:20:53,649
we've known each other for,
what, seven years?
422
00:20:53,683 --> 00:20:55,284
Is there a question here?
423
00:20:55,318 --> 00:20:57,286
Yeah, what the hell
is goin' on with you?
424
00:20:57,320 --> 00:20:58,821
'Scuse me?
425
00:20:58,855 --> 00:21:01,523
I've never seen you
this fired up before.
426
00:21:01,558 --> 00:21:06,328
I mean, Darien's case...
it's sad, I get it.
427
00:21:06,362 --> 00:21:09,364
This isn't the first sad
homicide you ever worked.
428
00:21:12,569 --> 00:21:15,003
I caught a case about two years ago.
429
00:21:15,038 --> 00:21:19,874
It was similar to this one.
Kid's name was Louis Knight.
430
00:21:20,007 --> 00:21:23,205
I found his body
at a construction site naked,
431
00:21:23,246 --> 00:21:25,914
just lying there on the ground.
432
00:21:25,949 --> 00:21:30,925
I remember it was raining too, you know?
433
00:21:31,120 --> 00:21:34,456
One of those really cold rains
434
00:21:34,491 --> 00:21:38,460
that just wants to turn to
sleet, but it never does.
435
00:21:38,495 --> 00:21:41,063
I chased a couple leads.
It didn't go anywhere,
436
00:21:41,097 --> 00:21:43,031
and then a bunch of
new cases started coming in...
437
00:21:43,066 --> 00:21:47,738
Real homicides, gunshots,
stabbings, you know,
438
00:21:47,763 --> 00:21:51,039
the kind of cases you like, Frank.
439
00:21:51,074 --> 00:21:54,009
So we closed the case...
Accidental overdose.
440
00:21:56,145 --> 00:22:01,016
But now... now, with what we know
441
00:22:01,050 --> 00:22:03,018
about this Swanson guy,
442
00:22:03,052 --> 00:22:06,488
I know that he was involved
in that kid's death too.
443
00:22:06,523 --> 00:22:08,991
There's just too many similarities.
444
00:22:09,025 --> 00:22:11,426
I can't prove it, but...
445
00:22:14,063 --> 00:22:15,397
I need you to do me a favor.
446
00:22:15,431 --> 00:22:17,099
I need you to keep
working this case hard,
447
00:22:17,133 --> 00:22:21,470
because people like Swanson,
bullies who prey on the weak,
448
00:22:21,504 --> 00:22:24,306
they need to pay.
449
00:22:24,340 --> 00:22:26,808
They need to go down.
450
00:22:35,179 --> 00:22:37,081
His name is Andre Walker.
451
00:22:37,106 --> 00:22:39,507
He's 21 years old, Black,
452
00:22:39,541 --> 00:22:42,176
"dated" Swanson on and off
for three months.
453
00:22:42,211 --> 00:22:43,678
Swanson injected him with meth?
454
00:22:43,712 --> 00:22:46,114
Four times, and the last time
that they were together,
455
00:22:46,148 --> 00:22:49,050
he almost died. He told Swanson to stop.
456
00:22:49,084 --> 00:22:51,386
He wouldn't...
Just kept pushing that needle,
457
00:22:51,420 --> 00:22:54,822
and Andre ends up
in a coma for six days.
458
00:22:54,857 --> 00:22:57,892
Swanson tried to kill him,
almost did too, so...
459
00:22:57,926 --> 00:22:59,127
I know where you're going.
460
00:22:59,161 --> 00:23:02,397
But under New York law, if you
inject someone with drugs,
461
00:23:02,431 --> 00:23:05,933
and they die, it's negligent homicide.
462
00:23:05,968 --> 00:23:07,669
If they accidentally die, yeah.
463
00:23:07,703 --> 00:23:12,206
But if you want them to die?
You don't care if they die?
464
00:23:12,241 --> 00:23:14,375
That's murder. Swanson gets off
465
00:23:14,410 --> 00:23:15,910
on bringing people
to the brink of death.
466
00:23:15,944 --> 00:23:19,714
He gets off on all of that.
So if someone actually dies,
467
00:23:19,748 --> 00:23:21,549
he's gotta pay the check.
468
00:23:21,583 --> 00:23:24,252
This all comes from
Andre's statement, correct?
469
00:23:24,286 --> 00:23:26,688
- Yeah, that's right.
- So this twisted game
470
00:23:26,722 --> 00:23:28,122
that Swanson likes to play,
471
00:23:28,157 --> 00:23:30,091
that's all based on Andre's experience.
472
00:23:30,125 --> 00:23:31,726
I get it, Sam, and you're right.
473
00:23:31,760 --> 00:23:33,928
But Andre wasn't a one-off.
474
00:23:33,962 --> 00:23:35,730
It is more like the tip of the iceberg.
475
00:23:35,764 --> 00:23:37,165
What are you talking about?
476
00:23:37,199 --> 00:23:39,200
We dug into prior meth overdoses
477
00:23:39,234 --> 00:23:42,170
in the last five years. Five DOAs...
478
00:23:42,204 --> 00:23:44,272
All young, Black, and poor,
479
00:23:44,306 --> 00:23:46,407
and all of them had ties to the bar
480
00:23:46,442 --> 00:23:48,409
that Swanson loves to frequent...
481
00:23:48,444 --> 00:23:50,278
The same bar
where he met Darien and Andre.
482
00:23:50,312 --> 00:23:52,347
- If that's true...
- He's not only a killer.
483
00:23:52,381 --> 00:23:54,949
He's a serial killer.
484
00:23:56,834 --> 00:24:01,818
Other than the bar, where he
met the five alleged victims,
485
00:24:01,843 --> 00:24:03,291
is there anything else
486
00:24:03,325 --> 00:24:05,193
connecting Swanson to five dead men?
487
00:24:05,227 --> 00:24:07,161
No, but it's not a coincidence.
488
00:24:07,196 --> 00:24:08,663
That may be true, but it doesn't help us
489
00:24:08,697 --> 00:24:10,732
with the present case. Those five bodies
490
00:24:10,766 --> 00:24:12,700
are inadmissible, irrelevant.
491
00:24:12,735 --> 00:24:14,235
They may be inadmissible,
492
00:24:14,269 --> 00:24:17,138
but they are definitely not irrelevant.
493
00:24:17,172 --> 00:24:20,775
This is a murder case, Nolan.
494
00:24:20,809 --> 00:24:22,744
I'll talk to McCoy.
495
00:24:24,646 --> 00:24:28,483
If what you're saying is true...
496
00:24:28,517 --> 00:24:30,284
it's horrific...
497
00:24:30,319 --> 00:24:31,786
beyond comprehension.
498
00:24:31,820 --> 00:24:34,589
But can we prove
that's what actually happened
499
00:24:34,623 --> 00:24:35,857
with Darien Wilson?
500
00:24:35,891 --> 00:24:40,328
Can we actually put the needle
in Swanson's hand that night?
501
00:24:40,362 --> 00:24:44,098
Can we prove he was playing
the same twisted game
502
00:24:44,133 --> 00:24:45,400
he played with Andre?
503
00:24:45,434 --> 00:24:46,901
We're still looking for more evidence,
504
00:24:46,935 --> 00:24:49,570
but I think it's worth a shot.
505
00:24:49,605 --> 00:24:53,641
Swanson is a very dangerous
and evil man.
506
00:24:53,675 --> 00:24:56,411
But at the moment, he's
still a very well-respected,
507
00:24:56,445 --> 00:25:00,648
very well-connected businessman
with ties to some of the most
508
00:25:00,682 --> 00:25:03,317
influential politicians in the country.
509
00:25:03,352 --> 00:25:06,621
Not to mention, he supported my opponent
510
00:25:06,655 --> 00:25:10,525
in the last election,
so... he'll claim we're biased...
511
00:25:12,194 --> 00:25:15,830
- That this is all payback.
- What are you saying?
512
00:25:15,864 --> 00:25:20,601
If we're gonna try to kill
the king, we can't miss.
513
00:25:20,636 --> 00:25:25,542
So work closely with Dixon,
build a strong case...
514
00:25:26,542 --> 00:25:29,577
and take the son of a bitch
down for murder.
515
00:25:34,216 --> 00:25:37,552
Your Honor, this is preposterous.
516
00:25:37,586 --> 00:25:40,588
The victim died
of an accidental overdose.
517
00:25:40,622 --> 00:25:42,857
My client had nothing
to do with his death.
518
00:25:42,891 --> 00:25:44,859
But for the sake of argument,
519
00:25:44,893 --> 00:25:47,595
even if he admitted
to injecting the victim
520
00:25:47,629 --> 00:25:50,832
with drugs,
which he absolutely does not,
521
00:25:50,866 --> 00:25:54,569
the correct charge
for such a crime is Man Two.
522
00:25:54,603 --> 00:25:57,472
Only when a crime involves
an accidental overdose.
523
00:25:57,506 --> 00:25:59,507
The defendant's actions in this case
524
00:25:59,541 --> 00:26:01,809
showed a depraved
indifference to human life,
525
00:26:01,844 --> 00:26:04,011
which is why we are
charging him with murder.
526
00:26:04,046 --> 00:26:06,647
- But there's no evidence.
- Bail is set at 3 million.
527
00:26:06,682 --> 00:26:08,883
Your Honor, this is outrageous!
528
00:26:08,917 --> 00:26:11,018
If it's so outrageous,
file a motion to dismiss.
529
00:26:11,053 --> 00:26:13,354
Next case.
530
00:26:17,926 --> 00:26:19,594
You'll never convict me.
531
00:26:21,930 --> 00:26:24,966
You know that, right?
532
00:26:26,034 --> 00:26:29,003
First thing we need to do is
nail down all the evidence,
533
00:26:29,037 --> 00:26:30,705
and all the supporting documents.
534
00:26:30,739 --> 00:26:33,908
I want credit card receipts
for the Marcel Dupont luggage.
535
00:26:33,942 --> 00:26:35,910
If he bought it in a boutique,
536
00:26:35,944 --> 00:26:39,747
then find me video of him
in the actual store.
537
00:26:39,781 --> 00:26:43,618
Pull the M.E. files,
tox reports, lap reports...
538
00:26:43,652 --> 00:26:47,054
We found another witness.
Name is Jalen Brooks...
539
00:26:47,089 --> 00:26:49,290
Hooked up with Swanson three weeks ago.
540
00:26:49,324 --> 00:26:52,527
Same story as Andre, same profile too...
541
00:26:52,561 --> 00:26:54,762
Young, gay, Black, and poor.
542
00:26:54,796 --> 00:26:57,832
This bastard is clearly
targeting these men
543
00:26:57,866 --> 00:27:00,501
based on their identity,
their demographic profile.
544
00:27:00,536 --> 00:27:02,837
- Are you suggesting...
- Oh, damn right, I am.
545
00:27:02,871 --> 00:27:05,239
This is a hate crime.
546
00:27:05,274 --> 00:27:08,075
If we add that as a kicker,
547
00:27:08,110 --> 00:27:09,610
he's staring down a 20-year minimum.
548
00:27:09,645 --> 00:27:11,946
Nothing his lawyers or his fancy friends
549
00:27:11,980 --> 00:27:14,815
can do about it either.
550
00:27:18,748 --> 00:27:21,240
Kyle Swanson targeted Darien Wilson,
551
00:27:21,265 --> 00:27:24,576
and two other young men,
Andre Walker and Jalen Brooks,
552
00:27:24,601 --> 00:27:26,469
based on the beliefs
553
00:27:26,503 --> 00:27:29,270
he held about race, age,
and social status...
554
00:27:29,295 --> 00:27:31,863
Namely, they were
Black, young, and poor.
555
00:27:31,898 --> 00:27:35,534
To the extent he targeted
them for anything, it was sex.
556
00:27:35,568 --> 00:27:39,104
He was attracted to them.
He finds Black men beautiful.
557
00:27:39,138 --> 00:27:42,107
That is the opposite of hate.
558
00:27:42,141 --> 00:27:43,708
Actual animus is irrelevant.
559
00:27:43,743 --> 00:27:46,978
How can it be a hate crime
without actual animus?
560
00:27:47,013 --> 00:27:48,613
How can that possibly be irrelevant?
561
00:27:48,648 --> 00:27:50,282
According to a recent New York case,
562
00:27:50,316 --> 00:27:53,051
People v. Cooney, the Court held,
563
00:27:53,085 --> 00:27:56,154
"If someone
intentionally selects a victim
564
00:27:56,189 --> 00:27:58,456
"because of a belief or perception
565
00:27:58,491 --> 00:28:01,927
"regarding their race, color,
gender, gender expression,
566
00:28:01,961 --> 00:28:04,462
"or religion, it's a hate crime,
567
00:28:04,497 --> 00:28:07,032
"regardless of whether
or not the defendant
568
00:28:07,066 --> 00:28:09,501
actually hates the victim."
569
00:28:11,504 --> 00:28:13,405
We're talking about a middle-aged man
570
00:28:13,439 --> 00:28:16,341
attracted to young Black men.
571
00:28:17,210 --> 00:28:20,779
No, I agree with Mr. Price.
Motion granted.
572
00:28:25,384 --> 00:28:27,519
One night, I was at his house,
573
00:28:27,553 --> 00:28:30,322
and he just started
pulling out all this meth.
574
00:28:30,356 --> 00:28:32,057
I was like, "Yo, wassup with that?"
575
00:28:32,091 --> 00:28:35,760
He just... smiled.
576
00:28:35,795 --> 00:28:37,596
He said it'd be fun.
577
00:28:37,630 --> 00:28:40,632
Then he started peeling off $100 bills
578
00:28:40,666 --> 00:28:42,267
and told me to say when.
579
00:28:42,301 --> 00:28:45,303
- How much did he give you?
- $12,000.
580
00:28:47,240 --> 00:28:49,407
Almost killed me.
581
00:28:50,676 --> 00:28:52,711
I'm sorry
you had to go through all that.
582
00:28:52,745 --> 00:28:54,646
So I have to tell this story in court?
583
00:28:54,680 --> 00:28:57,649
Like... in front of a bunch of people?
584
00:28:57,683 --> 00:29:00,185
Yes, it will help the jury understand
585
00:29:00,219 --> 00:29:02,254
what Swanson did to Darien,
586
00:29:02,288 --> 00:29:05,090
that he likely played the same
disgusting game with him
587
00:29:05,124 --> 00:29:06,625
that he played with you.
588
00:29:06,659 --> 00:29:09,828
Except he wasn't as lucky as you.
589
00:29:09,862 --> 00:29:12,063
He died.
590
00:29:18,771 --> 00:29:20,705
Okay.
591
00:29:20,740 --> 00:29:22,507
Yeah.
592
00:29:22,541 --> 00:29:25,710
As long as you can lock this dude up.
593
00:29:25,745 --> 00:29:28,146
We'll do our best.
594
00:29:30,483 --> 00:29:34,252
The defendant shot up Darien
with a lethal dose
595
00:29:34,287 --> 00:29:38,189
of methamphetamine
for his own perverse pleasure.
596
00:29:40,426 --> 00:29:43,728
He loved the power, the control.
597
00:29:43,763 --> 00:29:46,331
He liked the feeling of playing God,
598
00:29:46,365 --> 00:29:50,235
determining whether
someone got to live or die.
599
00:29:50,269 --> 00:29:54,072
He used his syringe
as an instrument of death
600
00:29:54,106 --> 00:29:58,076
to kill an innocent 20-year-old man.
601
00:29:58,110 --> 00:30:02,881
Now, the evidence will show
that he enjoyed this twisted,
602
00:30:02,915 --> 00:30:05,884
perverse game, and
that he played it quite often.
603
00:30:05,918 --> 00:30:10,902
Sometimes, people died,
like Darien Wilson...
604
00:30:12,158 --> 00:30:14,592
and sometimes they almost died,
605
00:30:14,627 --> 00:30:17,429
like Jalen Brooks or Andre Walker.
606
00:30:17,463 --> 00:30:21,466
But the uncertainty, the possibility...
607
00:30:23,269 --> 00:30:25,303
Is what made it exciting.
608
00:30:27,273 --> 00:30:31,609
And that's also what made it murder.
609
00:30:40,853 --> 00:30:45,790
Darien Wilson had a drug problem.
610
00:30:45,825 --> 00:30:49,861
On the night of the 23rd,
he overdosed and died.
611
00:30:50,020 --> 00:30:54,899
Mr. Swanson found
his dead body in his bathroom,
612
00:30:54,934 --> 00:30:57,135
tried to revive him,
613
00:30:57,169 --> 00:31:00,305
but quickly realized he was deceased.
614
00:31:01,107 --> 00:31:04,316
Mr. Swanson did not inject
615
00:31:04,341 --> 00:31:06,478
Darien Wilson with meth.
616
00:31:06,512 --> 00:31:11,116
He did not kill Darien Wilson.
617
00:31:11,150 --> 00:31:15,854
He merely disposed of his dead body.
618
00:31:20,693 --> 00:31:24,262
- Mr. Price?
- People call Jalen Brooks.
619
00:31:32,238 --> 00:31:33,972
- What's going on?
- I don't know.
620
00:31:34,006 --> 00:31:35,407
I'm gonna check.
621
00:31:37,476 --> 00:31:40,445
Your Honor, may I approach?
622
00:31:45,117 --> 00:31:46,785
We can't locate our witness.
623
00:31:46,819 --> 00:31:48,853
Well, I suggest you find him fast.
624
00:31:48,888 --> 00:31:50,388
You have one hour.
625
00:31:56,195 --> 00:31:57,629
Hello?
626
00:31:57,663 --> 00:31:59,497
Yeah, lookin' for Jalen Brooks.
627
00:31:59,532 --> 00:32:02,133
Nah, he ain't here. Who is this?
628
00:32:02,168 --> 00:32:03,435
Police.
629
00:32:03,469 --> 00:32:04,969
We need to ask you a few questions.
630
00:32:05,004 --> 00:32:06,504
Be right there.
631
00:32:13,045 --> 00:32:14,245
We wait.
632
00:32:16,148 --> 00:32:17,315
Hm.
633
00:32:19,718 --> 00:32:24,622
So Jalen's not home, huh?
Are you sure about that?
634
00:32:24,657 --> 00:32:27,125
Yeah, he left this morning.
635
00:32:27,159 --> 00:32:29,694
Gave me 300 bucks for the rent
he owed, then he took off.
636
00:32:29,728 --> 00:32:32,664
- Where did he go?
- I don't know.
637
00:32:32,698 --> 00:32:34,332
He say when he'd be back?
638
00:32:34,366 --> 00:32:35,867
Yeah, never.
639
00:32:35,901 --> 00:32:37,735
Said New York was sucking
the life out of him.
640
00:32:37,770 --> 00:32:39,737
Do you mind if we take a look
around the apartment?
641
00:32:39,772 --> 00:32:42,540
Just to confirm all this
with our own eyes.
642
00:32:48,080 --> 00:32:49,481
You can't track him down.
643
00:32:49,515 --> 00:32:51,583
In 2022, that's hard to believe.
644
00:32:51,617 --> 00:32:53,418
Can't buy a cup of coffee
645
00:32:53,452 --> 00:32:55,019
without leaving a digital footprint.
646
00:32:55,054 --> 00:32:58,423
If you're in the system,
you have credit cards,
647
00:32:58,457 --> 00:33:01,960
bank cards, registered cell phones.
648
00:33:01,994 --> 00:33:03,528
That's why Swanson targets
649
00:33:03,562 --> 00:33:05,864
guys like this in the first place.
650
00:33:05,898 --> 00:33:08,600
Problem is we now have only one witness
651
00:33:08,634 --> 00:33:12,403
who can establish
Swanson's pattern of conduct.
652
00:33:12,438 --> 00:33:14,439
That's an anecdote, not a pattern.
653
00:33:14,473 --> 00:33:16,074
I know, but it's all we have.
654
00:33:16,108 --> 00:33:19,644
Then your one witness
better be persuasive.
655
00:33:19,678 --> 00:33:23,181
His story needs to be filled
with vivid details,
656
00:33:23,215 --> 00:33:25,683
specific moments, and facts.
657
00:33:25,718 --> 00:33:29,387
The jury...
not only needs to believe him,
658
00:33:29,421 --> 00:33:31,489
they need to feel sick to their stomach
659
00:33:31,524 --> 00:33:34,993
that someone like Kyle Swanson
actually exists.
660
00:33:46,138 --> 00:33:48,106
Andre.
661
00:33:48,140 --> 00:33:49,941
What's up?
662
00:33:49,975 --> 00:33:52,043
You said if I ever needed
anything, to reach out.
663
00:33:58,150 --> 00:34:00,451
How can I help?
664
00:34:03,589 --> 00:34:06,858
I talked to my old lawyer today,
665
00:34:06,892 --> 00:34:09,060
told him what's going on with the trial
666
00:34:09,094 --> 00:34:11,496
and all this Swanson stuff.
667
00:34:11,530 --> 00:34:16,501
He told me... not to testify.
668
00:34:17,336 --> 00:34:20,505
I'm on parole, so if I admit
to doing drugs with Swanson,
669
00:34:20,539 --> 00:34:23,107
they'll send me back to jail.
670
00:34:23,142 --> 00:34:26,377
Andre, I get it.
671
00:34:26,412 --> 00:34:28,379
But we need your testimony.
672
00:34:30,049 --> 00:34:34,586
- I can call your parole officer.
- I can't go back to jail.
673
00:34:34,620 --> 00:34:37,021
I finally got a good job, a good life.
674
00:34:37,056 --> 00:34:40,391
If I go back inside, I'll lose all that.
675
00:34:40,426 --> 00:34:42,427
I won't ever get it back either.
676
00:34:49,135 --> 00:34:51,535
I'll talk to the
parole officer, explain that...
677
00:34:51,569 --> 00:34:54,071
I already did.
The guy is a real hard-ass.
678
00:34:54,105 --> 00:34:56,907
He follows the rules and
he doesn't make any exceptions.
679
00:34:56,941 --> 00:35:00,611
Well, I feel terrible about
that, but he has to testify.
680
00:35:00,645 --> 00:35:03,313
We can't win the case without Andre.
681
00:35:03,348 --> 00:35:05,783
- Can we win it with Andre?
- Sorry?
682
00:35:05,817 --> 00:35:08,685
Look, if we're gonna jam this kid up,
683
00:35:08,720 --> 00:35:11,188
we need to know that
we can actually win this trial.
684
00:35:11,222 --> 00:35:12,790
- I can't predict...
- I just can't blow up
685
00:35:12,824 --> 00:35:14,191
this kid's life for nothing.
686
00:35:14,225 --> 00:35:17,694
Send Andre back to jail
and have Swanson walk free.
687
00:35:17,729 --> 00:35:21,031
It's not a slam dunk, Kate.
It's just not.
688
00:35:21,065 --> 00:35:23,734
Then maybe we let Andre slide.
689
00:35:25,670 --> 00:35:28,205
Hell, we're doing this
to help the victims, right?
690
00:35:28,239 --> 00:35:30,207
We're doing this to get
justice for the men
691
00:35:30,241 --> 00:35:32,676
that Swanson abused... Men like Andre.
692
00:35:32,710 --> 00:35:35,479
We can't just victimize them
all over again.
693
00:35:37,482 --> 00:35:39,783
If Swanson walks,
694
00:35:39,818 --> 00:35:42,219
he will be even more emboldened.
695
00:35:42,253 --> 00:35:45,656
He will continue to prey on
more vulnerable young men.
696
00:35:45,690 --> 00:35:48,392
So what, we're just gonna sacrifice
697
00:35:48,426 --> 00:35:50,227
Andre for the greater good?
698
00:35:50,261 --> 00:35:51,762
I don't wanna hurt this guy
any more than you do.
699
00:35:51,796 --> 00:35:54,731
But he is legally obliged to testify
700
00:35:54,766 --> 00:35:56,934
regardless of his
personal circumstances.
701
00:35:56,968 --> 00:35:59,503
With all due respect, it's not my fault
702
00:35:59,537 --> 00:36:01,672
that he chose to violate his parole,
703
00:36:01,706 --> 00:36:04,341
that he chose to do meth
with Kyle Swanson.
704
00:36:04,375 --> 00:36:06,143
Really? You're blaming him now?
705
00:36:06,177 --> 00:36:10,380
I'm not blaming him.
I'm just speaking the truth.
706
00:36:10,415 --> 00:36:13,684
You're the one who pushed me
to go for broke... go for murder.
707
00:36:13,718 --> 00:36:17,187
You don't get to walk that back
now in the middle of the trial.
708
00:36:17,222 --> 00:36:19,957
It's not how this works.
709
00:36:19,991 --> 00:36:22,259
Okay.
710
00:36:22,293 --> 00:36:25,095
But we need to win.
711
00:36:31,636 --> 00:36:34,504
I begged him to stop...
712
00:36:34,539 --> 00:36:37,507
told him my heart was racin',
713
00:36:37,542 --> 00:36:39,243
that I was gonna die, but...
714
00:36:42,881 --> 00:36:47,117
He just smiled,
said I didn't deserve to live...
715
00:36:48,727 --> 00:36:50,215
That I was useless.
716
00:36:50,365 --> 00:36:52,890
Wait, he said that?
717
00:36:52,924 --> 00:36:54,978
The defendant said
718
00:36:55,003 --> 00:36:58,387
you don't deserve to live?
719
00:36:58,412 --> 00:37:00,347
Yeah.
720
00:37:00,853 --> 00:37:05,702
What else do you remember
about that terrifying moment?
721
00:37:08,506 --> 00:37:10,340
He had this crazy look in his eye.
722
00:37:13,044 --> 00:37:16,213
He was smilin' like he was enjoying it.
723
00:37:16,247 --> 00:37:18,282
What happened next?
724
00:37:18,316 --> 00:37:21,752
I woke up in the hospital
six days later.
725
00:37:23,521 --> 00:37:25,122
Some doctor was there,
726
00:37:25,156 --> 00:37:27,991
said he couldn't believe I was alive,
727
00:37:28,026 --> 00:37:30,894
said he was convinced I was gonna die.
728
00:37:34,766 --> 00:37:35,866
Nothing further.
729
00:37:39,938 --> 00:37:42,606
You like to date
older, rich men, correct?
730
00:37:42,640 --> 00:37:44,074
Objection, relevance.
731
00:37:44,108 --> 00:37:46,910
Who goes to the defendant's
character, Your Honor.
732
00:37:46,945 --> 00:37:49,313
Overruled, but be careful, Mr. Harris.
733
00:37:49,347 --> 00:37:50,914
Get to the point.
734
00:37:50,949 --> 00:37:54,318
When you date these older, wealthy men,
735
00:37:54,352 --> 00:37:56,620
you accept gifts, correct?
736
00:37:56,654 --> 00:37:58,889
- Sometimes.
- And money?
737
00:38:00,658 --> 00:38:01,925
Yeah, every once in a while.
738
00:38:01,960 --> 00:38:03,961
- So you're a prostitute?
- No.
739
00:38:05,797 --> 00:38:07,864
I'm not a prostitute.
740
00:38:07,899 --> 00:38:11,234
But if a guy wants to
give me money, I take it.
741
00:38:11,269 --> 00:38:14,705
In exchange for sex, which I believe
742
00:38:14,739 --> 00:38:16,974
is the literal definition
of prostitution.
743
00:38:17,008 --> 00:38:18,608
- Objection.
- Sustained.
744
00:38:18,643 --> 00:38:20,777
Move on, Mr. Harris.
745
00:38:20,812 --> 00:38:23,313
You said earlier that Mr. Swanson
746
00:38:23,348 --> 00:38:25,949
injected you with meth,
747
00:38:25,984 --> 00:38:28,218
that you didn't inject yourself.
748
00:38:28,252 --> 00:38:30,754
- Right.
- But you're a drug addict,
749
00:38:30,788 --> 00:38:33,390
correct? I mean, you've been convicted
750
00:38:33,424 --> 00:38:36,793
two times for possession
and once for distribution.
751
00:38:36,828 --> 00:38:39,396
- Objection.
- Goes to credibility.
752
00:38:39,430 --> 00:38:41,398
Overruled.
753
00:38:41,432 --> 00:38:42,666
Answer the question.
754
00:38:45,336 --> 00:38:47,304
Yes.
755
00:38:47,338 --> 00:38:50,407
I did drugs, but I'm not an addict.
756
00:38:50,441 --> 00:38:52,275
And I never shoot up...
757
00:38:52,310 --> 00:38:55,012
Only with Swanson 'cause he paid me.
758
00:38:56,881 --> 00:39:00,098
He paid you? So...
759
00:39:00,123 --> 00:39:02,285
you not only have sex
760
00:39:02,320 --> 00:39:05,022
for money, but you do drugs for money?
761
00:39:05,056 --> 00:39:06,423
Is there anything else you do for money?
762
00:39:06,457 --> 00:39:08,058
You know what, let me rephrase that.
763
00:39:08,092 --> 00:39:10,794
Is there anything
you wouldn't do for money?
764
00:39:10,828 --> 00:39:12,863
- Objection!
- Sustained.
765
00:39:14,699 --> 00:39:17,300
Nothing further.
766
00:39:42,960 --> 00:39:46,263
- Have you reached a verdict?
- Yes, Your Honor.
767
00:39:46,297 --> 00:39:48,065
Accused and Counsel, please rise.
768
00:39:53,504 --> 00:39:55,005
What say you?
769
00:39:55,039 --> 00:39:57,007
On the count
of Murder in the Second Degree,
770
00:39:57,041 --> 00:39:59,576
we find the defendant guilty.
771
00:39:59,610 --> 00:40:02,179
This is outrageous!
772
00:40:02,213 --> 00:40:04,614
I am innocent! I am innocent!
773
00:40:04,649 --> 00:40:05,882
Order!
774
00:40:05,917 --> 00:40:07,884
Don't you touch me. Don't you touch me.
775
00:40:07,919 --> 00:40:10,487
Get your hands off me!
Get your hands off me!
776
00:40:10,521 --> 00:40:11,755
- I will have your job!
- Order!
777
00:40:11,789 --> 00:40:12,956
- You're finished!
- Order!
778
00:40:12,990 --> 00:40:15,225
You're done! I will take his job!
779
00:40:15,259 --> 00:40:17,494
I know people! Keep your hands off me!
780
00:40:17,528 --> 00:40:19,262
Don't touch me!
781
00:40:24,936 --> 00:40:27,137
Nice job, Nolan.
782
00:40:28,773 --> 00:40:32,476
Can I buy you a drink?
783
00:40:32,510 --> 00:40:34,411
Celebrate our victory?
784
00:40:34,445 --> 00:40:37,080
Thanks, but I'm meeting up
with the head of parole.
785
00:40:37,115 --> 00:40:39,249
I wanna put in a good word for Andre.
786
00:40:39,283 --> 00:40:40,917
Probably won't make a difference,
787
00:40:40,952 --> 00:40:43,987
but it's worth a shot.
788
00:40:58,234 --> 00:41:02,234
