1
00:00:00,182 --> 00:00:01,992
Previously on "In Contempt"...
2
00:00:02,034 --> 00:00:03,620
Get off of me! Ahh!
3
00:00:03,684 --> 00:00:06,086
- Favorite comfort food?
- Ah. My dairy-free Mac and Cheese.
4
00:00:06,219 --> 00:00:07,755
- Chicken and waffles.
- Yes!
5
00:00:07,889 --> 00:00:10,389
- Chicken and waffles!
- Damn, girl, you're killing it!
6
00:00:10,524 --> 00:00:12,525
How does she not know those things?
7
00:00:12,659 --> 00:00:14,260
And why not me, Bennett?
8
00:00:15,095 --> 00:00:16,630
I'm cheating on her with you.
9
00:00:16,763 --> 00:00:18,675
Well, if you're so worried
about it, stop cheating.
10
00:00:18,699 --> 00:00:21,501
Some things can't be fixed.
Just learn to deal and move on.
11
00:00:21,635 --> 00:00:23,236
You guys keep saying this, but,
12
00:00:23,283 --> 00:00:25,163
it's not getting any better.
It's getting worse.
13
00:00:25,205 --> 00:00:28,809
You had sex with him.
At the man's wedding shower?
14
00:00:30,004 --> 00:00:33,056
_
15
00:00:35,048 --> 00:00:38,985
? I thought we were over ?
16
00:00:39,118 --> 00:00:40,853
I know I'm not innocent in this.
17
00:00:41,054 --> 00:00:43,657
But, I turned a blind eye when
everything in me told me
18
00:00:43,789 --> 00:00:45,601
that there was a connection
between the two of you.
19
00:00:45,625 --> 00:00:47,560
Alison, I'm so sorry.
I didn't mean to hurt you.
20
00:00:47,694 --> 00:00:49,629
Really, Gwen? When you screwed my fiance
21
00:00:49,762 --> 00:00:52,232
at my wedding shower in
my house, in my bathroom...
22
00:00:52,365 --> 00:00:54,467
- This is on me!
- It's on both of you!
23
00:00:55,035 --> 00:00:58,138
But life doesn't allow us to
go back and undo what happened.
24
00:00:58,606 --> 00:01:00,975
It allows us to do
better moving forward.
25
00:01:01,108 --> 00:01:02,743
I don't understand, why are we here?
26
00:01:02,876 --> 00:01:05,546
I want you, but I'm
not willing to share.
27
00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:09,715
If you want me, it's all in.
No looking back.
28
00:01:11,117 --> 00:01:14,421
Can you look me in my eye right
now and promise that to me?
29
00:01:16,290 --> 00:01:17,658
The answer is no.
30
00:01:19,060 --> 00:01:22,430
There's obviously unfinished
business between the two of you.
31
00:01:23,897 --> 00:01:25,599
I want you to finish it.
32
00:01:25,733 --> 00:01:28,402
Maybe it's my connection with Buddhism,
33
00:01:28,536 --> 00:01:32,272
that life is permeated with
suffering caused by desire.
34
00:01:32,505 --> 00:01:35,075
And that suffering
ceases when desire ceases.
35
00:01:35,742 --> 00:01:38,345
Or I'm just completely masochistic.
36
00:01:40,380 --> 00:01:43,450
Either way, I'm giving you 30 days.
37
00:01:44,451 --> 00:01:47,354
- Thirty days for what?
- To resolve, finish,
38
00:01:47,486 --> 00:01:49,522
or confirm whatever this is.
39
00:01:53,626 --> 00:01:55,662
- What's the catch?
- No catch.
40
00:01:56,263 --> 00:01:58,666
If you want to be with her,
then so be it.
41
00:01:59,198 --> 00:02:03,269
But if you come back
to me, you're with me.
42
00:02:03,436 --> 00:02:07,239
- No more bullshit. Fair?
- This whole thing seems weird...
43
00:02:07,374 --> 00:02:10,644
Gwen, if I were you, I would
just shut up and say thank you.
44
00:02:12,345 --> 00:02:13,963
Do we all understand each other?
45
00:02:14,514 --> 00:02:16,795
You might want to come by the
house and grab a few things.
46
00:02:17,049 --> 00:02:20,421
I don't want to see or hear
from you until you decide.
47
00:02:23,589 --> 00:02:27,627
And don't worry. I get 30 days too.
48
00:02:43,376 --> 00:02:46,245
Is she even human?
What the hell just happened?
49
00:02:46,380 --> 00:02:47,581
Alison!
50
00:02:50,617 --> 00:02:54,488
? Your wild affection Sweet Deception ?
51
00:02:54,620 --> 00:02:57,224
? Taking over me ?
52
00:02:57,958 --> 00:03:01,195
? You know you'll find a way
To get me back ?
53
00:03:01,327 --> 00:03:03,630
? Give it time ?
54
00:03:04,021 --> 00:03:07,575

55
00:03:09,637 --> 00:03:11,104
He went back to the stick figure?
56
00:03:11,237 --> 00:03:12,917
I don't know. He just
left me sitting there
57
00:03:12,972 --> 00:03:15,174
and got up and ran after her,
which I get, I guess.
58
00:03:15,309 --> 00:03:17,477
The whole thing was just so messed up.
59
00:03:17,611 --> 00:03:19,856
Alison was Stepford Wife-calm.
If it were me, there would be
60
00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:22,349
a lot more hair pulling.
We'd definitely knuckle up.
61
00:03:22,482 --> 00:03:24,385
[PHONE RINGING]
62
00:03:26,553 --> 00:03:27,988
My creditor's calling you too?
63
00:03:28,121 --> 00:03:30,557
- No, just Dodson.
- What does he want now?
64
00:03:30,690 --> 00:03:32,559
Sex on top of the Empire State Building?
65
00:03:33,292 --> 00:03:36,362
- He left his wife.
- He what? For you?
66
00:03:36,495 --> 00:03:38,564
That shocked reaction
is less than flattering.
67
00:03:38,697 --> 00:03:40,633
No, I mean... it's great news. Right?
68
00:03:40,767 --> 00:03:42,969
I don't know. Him trying
to make things easier
69
00:03:43,102 --> 00:03:45,071
just made things far more complicated.
70
00:03:45,206 --> 00:03:47,673
Girl, only you can think that
a man wanting to be with you,
71
00:03:47,808 --> 00:03:49,543
no strings attached, was complicated.
72
00:03:49,676 --> 00:03:51,111
I know that it sounds horrible,
73
00:03:51,244 --> 00:03:53,004
but him being married
was part of the thrill.
74
00:03:53,113 --> 00:03:55,382
Without the secret sex in his
office and sneaking around,
75
00:03:55,514 --> 00:03:58,351
- what's the point?
- Um, emotional connection.
76
00:03:58,952 --> 00:04:01,555
You should, you know, give it a try.
77
00:04:04,124 --> 00:04:05,692
- Are you not going to work?
- No.
78
00:04:05,825 --> 00:04:07,494
I'm still under Tom's forced vacation.
79
00:04:07,626 --> 00:04:10,063
So, the walls will be washed
and the grout will be cleaned
80
00:04:10,196 --> 00:04:11,632
when I get home?
81
00:04:11,766 --> 00:04:14,201
If you hire a housekeeper.
My name ain't Florence.
82
00:04:15,201 --> 00:04:17,271
- OK, Wheezy.
- Bye.
83
00:04:20,874 --> 00:04:25,112
I was on my way to work.
A cop car pulls up.
84
00:04:25,244 --> 00:04:29,081
Punk-ass cop asks me for
my ID and what I was doing.
85
00:04:29,583 --> 00:04:32,152
I was late and I knew
the stop was bullshit.
86
00:04:32,319 --> 00:04:34,787
So I told him I wasn't going
to allow him to search me.
87
00:04:35,355 --> 00:04:37,256
- So, what happened?
- Let me guess.
88
00:04:37,691 --> 00:04:39,859
Your face ended up against a brick wall.
89
00:04:40,494 --> 00:04:43,263
Hood of a car. Cop called me a nigga,
90
00:04:43,396 --> 00:04:45,331
said that he was gonna
crack my skull open.
91
00:04:45,465 --> 00:04:46,967
Did he tell you why he stopped you?
92
00:04:47,100 --> 00:04:48,540
He said he saw a bulge in my pocket.
93
00:04:48,634 --> 00:04:50,069
- Smokes?
- Cell.
94
00:04:50,203 --> 00:04:51,871
Well, I talked to the prosecutor
95
00:04:52,006 --> 00:04:54,607
and, since you don't
have a criminal record,
96
00:04:54,741 --> 00:04:56,341
they're offering to drop the obstruction
97
00:04:56,410 --> 00:04:58,744
and resisting arrest charges
and give you time served,
98
00:04:58,878 --> 00:05:00,847
if you plead guilty
to disorderly conduct.
99
00:05:00,980 --> 00:05:02,382
It's a violation, not a crime.
100
00:05:02,516 --> 00:05:04,484
It's like pleading guilty
to a parking ticket.
101
00:05:04,617 --> 00:05:06,853
Oh, hell no. No, no.
I ain't copping out.
102
00:05:06,987 --> 00:05:09,689
Well, since it's a misdemeanor,
you don't get a jury.
103
00:05:09,823 --> 00:05:11,634
It's a judge trial. And,
to win, we have to prove
104
00:05:11,658 --> 00:05:13,535
that the arrest was illegal,
which means we have to prove
105
00:05:13,559 --> 00:05:15,037
that it was done
without what's called...
106
00:05:15,061 --> 00:05:16,931
Reasonable suspicion. I know.
107
00:05:17,263 --> 00:05:20,833
I've been stopped like 40 times
in the past 11 years.
108
00:05:21,335 --> 00:05:23,536
- Excuse me?
- The first time I was stopped,
109
00:05:23,670 --> 00:05:24,871
I was ten years old.
110
00:05:25,004 --> 00:05:26,572
In the past six months, probably 12.
111
00:05:26,706 --> 00:05:29,808
- Three times by this same cop.
- The hell with that.
112
00:05:29,943 --> 00:05:31,144
- No plea.
- But...
113
00:05:31,278 --> 00:05:32,612
But here's what you need to know.
114
00:05:33,179 --> 00:05:34,648
It's not a slam dunk, OK?
115
00:05:34,780 --> 00:05:36,759
The officer's going to lie
about why he stopped you.
116
00:05:36,783 --> 00:05:39,185
It's going to be your word against his.
117
00:05:43,122 --> 00:05:44,623
I'm tired of this shit.
118
00:05:45,324 --> 00:05:49,228
Tired of bending over cop cars
and kissing the pavement.
119
00:05:49,496 --> 00:05:50,597
I gotta fight this.
120
00:05:50,965 --> 00:05:52,465
Cause if I don't fight it in here,
121
00:05:52,598 --> 00:05:54,468
I'm gonna keep fighting it out there,
122
00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:58,271
- and I'll probably end up dead.
- Then let's take it to 'em.
123
00:06:00,105 --> 00:06:02,843
Did you know that between 2002 and 2015,
124
00:06:02,975 --> 00:06:05,478
over five million people were
stopped and frisked in NY City,
125
00:06:05,612 --> 00:06:07,513
and 86% of all stop-and-frisks were done
126
00:06:07,646 --> 00:06:10,850
without reasonable suspicion?
In a city that is 66% minority,
127
00:06:10,984 --> 00:06:13,887
81% of all stop-and-frisks
are of black and brown people.
128
00:06:14,021 --> 00:06:18,225
I didn't know it, but "I knew it".
From personal experience.
129
00:06:18,359 --> 00:06:20,494
- Oh. You mean your arrest?
- Yeah.
130
00:06:21,261 --> 00:06:24,030
Don't tell me you've never been
stopped in a department store.
131
00:06:24,163 --> 00:06:26,966
Never had a white person ask
"may I help you?" in that tone
132
00:06:27,100 --> 00:06:29,201
where you know they don't
really want to help you?
133
00:06:29,602 --> 00:06:31,071
Actually, no. I mean...
134
00:06:31,203 --> 00:06:33,506
I know it happens.
I'm not saying it doesn't.
135
00:06:33,641 --> 00:06:36,677
- Followed in department store?
- Well...
136
00:06:37,509 --> 00:06:38,879
There it is.
137
00:06:39,011 --> 00:06:41,682
After Oprah got stopped in
Paris I started to wonder.
138
00:06:41,814 --> 00:06:44,049
I mean... if it happens to Oprah, right?
139
00:06:44,184 --> 00:06:46,352
So I noticed this guy
following me at the mall,
140
00:06:46,487 --> 00:06:48,655
but it was only that one time, though.
141
00:06:48,788 --> 00:06:50,556
Trust me. You got followed 100 times.
142
00:06:50,689 --> 00:06:53,192
- You just didn't notice it.
- The thing is, I don't know
143
00:06:53,326 --> 00:06:55,261
that he was following
me because I'm black.
144
00:06:55,396 --> 00:06:57,763
He wasn't following Suzie Q,
you can believe that.
145
00:06:58,265 --> 00:07:00,475
And, if you had confronted him,
he would have made up some
146
00:07:00,499 --> 00:07:03,269
bullshit excuse that sounded
plausible on its face.
147
00:07:03,636 --> 00:07:05,204
Which is what the cop will do here.
148
00:07:05,338 --> 00:07:07,607
It's called test-a-lie.
The cop who stopped Marcus
149
00:07:07,741 --> 00:07:09,276
will lie about the basis for the stop.
150
00:07:09,408 --> 00:07:12,010
It's standard cop procedure.
DA's condone it.
151
00:07:12,145 --> 00:07:13,347
Judges don't question it.
152
00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:14,920
So, how do we prove that he's lying?
153
00:07:15,013 --> 00:07:17,150
- You mean, how do you prove it?
- Wait, what?
154
00:07:17,283 --> 00:07:19,083
You're going to
cross-examine the cop, rookie.
155
00:07:19,186 --> 00:07:22,356
- Oh, my Gosh.
- Don't panic. Focus.
156
00:07:22,756 --> 00:07:24,596
Now, how would we prove
that he's full of shit?
157
00:07:24,725 --> 00:07:27,393
Well, I read that the Bronx Defenders
158
00:07:27,526 --> 00:07:29,195
and the Center for Constitutional Rights
159
00:07:29,328 --> 00:07:32,432
took the City to Federal Court
over their stop-and-frisk policy
160
00:07:32,566 --> 00:07:34,167
- and won a consent decree.
- Uh-huh.
161
00:07:34,300 --> 00:07:35,901
Now, all the cops
have to fill out a form
162
00:07:36,035 --> 00:07:38,080
stating their reasons every
time they stop-and-frisk someone.
163
00:07:38,104 --> 00:07:39,906
And you want to see all this cop's forms
164
00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:41,842
and see if all of this stops are bogus.
165
00:07:42,090 --> 00:07:43,257
That's a great idea.
166
00:07:43,322 --> 00:07:45,202
Except, when you subpoena
the police department,
167
00:07:45,545 --> 00:07:47,982
they're going to move to
quash it. Do you know why?
168
00:07:49,749 --> 00:07:51,283
The prosecution will argue
169
00:07:51,417 --> 00:07:53,162
that the forms related to
the cop's previous stops
170
00:07:53,186 --> 00:07:55,146
aren't relevant to evaluating
reasonable suspicion
171
00:07:55,254 --> 00:07:56,388
in this particular case.
172
00:07:56,523 --> 00:07:58,092
Look who's been paying attention!
173
00:07:59,225 --> 00:08:00,460
So, what do we do?
174
00:08:00,593 --> 00:08:02,730
Get that cop to make it relevant.
175
00:08:05,564 --> 00:08:08,701
? Two peas in a pod
Something was missing ?
176
00:08:08,835 --> 00:08:12,306
? So good on paper
We weren't listening ?
177
00:08:12,439 --> 00:08:16,176
? To the sound of our hearts
Thumping in sync ?
178
00:08:16,309 --> 00:08:19,578
? We were yelling so loud
But heard nothing... ?
179
00:08:19,711 --> 00:08:21,380
Aaaaargh!
180
00:08:22,282 --> 00:08:25,352
Tracy, take your key with
you next time you go running!
181
00:08:26,153 --> 00:08:27,453
God!
182
00:08:30,189 --> 00:08:31,924
Oh, my God! Hi!
183
00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:36,329
- I wasn't expecting company.
- Can I come in?
184
00:08:45,104 --> 00:08:47,606
It's a nice place.
185
00:08:47,740 --> 00:08:50,611
Yeah, well, Architectural Digest
wanted to photograph it,
186
00:08:50,743 --> 00:08:52,912
but I told them "nah".
187
00:08:53,546 --> 00:08:55,186
Gwen, I want to
apologize for yesterday...
188
00:08:55,248 --> 00:08:58,417
Bennett, you don't owe me an apology.
I made a mistake.
189
00:08:58,985 --> 00:09:02,621
You are not my man and...
someone was bound to get hurt.
190
00:09:02,988 --> 00:09:05,391
That someone was me.
But that's what I get.
191
00:09:05,525 --> 00:09:07,205
Cause I know better
than to play with fire.
192
00:09:07,327 --> 00:09:09,697
- How spontaneous are you?
- What?
193
00:09:09,829 --> 00:09:12,031
I have a car waiting for us downstairs.
194
00:09:16,135 --> 00:09:20,140
Pack a bag. That 30 days...
it starts now.
195
00:09:22,809 --> 00:09:25,578
Okay, give me... Give me ten minutes.
196
00:09:28,847 --> 00:09:32,685
? To the sound of our hearts
Thumping in sync ?
197
00:09:32,819 --> 00:09:36,756
? We were yelling so loud
But heard nothing... ?
198
00:09:39,916 --> 00:09:42,185
I observed the defendant
in a high-crime neighborhood
199
00:09:42,319 --> 00:09:43,921
with a bulge in his waistband area,
200
00:09:44,055 --> 00:09:45,589
that I suspected was a weapon.
201
00:09:45,956 --> 00:09:47,558
We followed him for a short distance,
202
00:09:47,691 --> 00:09:49,826
at which time he engaged
in furtive behavior.
203
00:09:49,959 --> 00:09:52,229
- What did you do?
- I got out, I asked the suspect
204
00:09:52,363 --> 00:09:54,330
to take his hands out
of his jacket pockets
205
00:09:54,464 --> 00:09:55,898
and to show me some ID.
206
00:09:56,032 --> 00:09:58,034
He immediately became
verbally combative with me.
207
00:09:58,169 --> 00:10:00,170
- How so?
- He refused to be searched.
208
00:10:00,304 --> 00:10:02,382
I informed him that, if he
continue to be uncooperative,
209
00:10:02,406 --> 00:10:04,108
that I was going to have to arrest him.
210
00:10:04,242 --> 00:10:07,045
He continued to refuse so
I placed him in custody.
211
00:10:07,177 --> 00:10:08,745
No further questions.
212
00:10:09,680 --> 00:10:11,882
So, you say you had several reasons
213
00:10:12,016 --> 00:10:13,785
you decided to follow Mr. Dumay?
214
00:10:13,917 --> 00:10:17,120
- Don't ask him. Tell him.
- Yeah, like I said: bulge,
215
00:10:17,253 --> 00:10:20,691
neighborhood, furtive gestures,
like a trifecta of suspiciousness.
216
00:10:22,892 --> 00:10:25,329
- But the first thing...
- Was the bulge.
217
00:10:25,762 --> 00:10:28,298
- Could've been a gun...
- Um, is she new?
218
00:10:28,432 --> 00:10:30,200
- It's okay. Re-focus.
- Officer, you stated
219
00:10:30,334 --> 00:10:32,336
that the defendant acted
suspiciously, right?
220
00:10:32,469 --> 00:10:34,471
- Objection!
- Sustained.
221
00:10:35,873 --> 00:10:38,243
When you stopped him you said
he didn't want to be searched.
222
00:10:38,376 --> 00:10:40,111
- Objection!
- Sustained.
223
00:10:40,243 --> 00:10:41,678
Seriously, Noreen?
224
00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:46,650
Officer, can you please re-state
225
00:10:46,783 --> 00:10:49,886
what the defendant's
furtive movements were exactly?
226
00:10:50,021 --> 00:10:51,589
When he saw that we were following him,
227
00:10:51,723 --> 00:10:53,400
he changed direction, kept looking
over his shoulder at us.
228
00:10:53,424 --> 00:10:56,127
He looked at you. Sounds so suspicious!
229
00:10:56,326 --> 00:10:57,494
Now you can object.
230
00:10:57,762 --> 00:10:59,597
Okay, let's quite the games, Counselors.
231
00:10:59,730 --> 00:11:02,865
The bulge in Mr. Dumay's jeans
turned out to be a cell phone,
232
00:11:02,999 --> 00:11:04,334
- right?
- Yeah, but...
233
00:11:04,468 --> 00:11:05,979
And there are lots of
reasons why a person
234
00:11:06,003 --> 00:11:07,714
walking down the street,
carrying a cell phone,
235
00:11:07,738 --> 00:11:09,150
might turn in another direction
when they see you coming.
236
00:11:09,174 --> 00:11:11,709
- Correct?
- Legitimate reasons, no.
237
00:11:11,842 --> 00:11:13,122
How about, they don't like cops?
238
00:11:13,243 --> 00:11:14,723
Or their cousin was beat up by a cop?
239
00:11:14,811 --> 00:11:16,413
Or how about: it's their God-given right
240
00:11:16,546 --> 00:11:18,715
to walk in whichever direction
they damn well choose?
241
00:11:19,950 --> 00:11:22,085
Counselor, I've got
10 years in the force.
242
00:11:22,219 --> 00:11:24,086
And, let me tell you.
Usually, when someone's
243
00:11:24,220 --> 00:11:26,423
avoiding the police, they're
doing something wrong.
244
00:11:26,557 --> 00:11:28,825
So when you stop someone
it's always justified, right?
245
00:11:28,959 --> 00:11:30,527
- Yes.
- Because you would never
246
00:11:30,661 --> 00:11:33,397
illegally stop someone on a
whim or because they just looked
247
00:11:33,531 --> 00:11:35,132
- fishy, would you?
- Never.
248
00:11:35,264 --> 00:11:38,201
Judge, this officer suggests
his stops are always justified
249
00:11:38,334 --> 00:11:40,470
and that he never
illegally stops someone.
250
00:11:40,772 --> 00:11:42,640
The subpoena for the UF-250 forms
251
00:11:42,773 --> 00:11:45,176
allows us to evaluate the
credibility of that answer.
252
00:11:45,309 --> 00:11:47,911
Grant Gathers, counsel for the
New York City Police Department.
253
00:11:48,045 --> 00:11:50,514
Your Honor,
this subpoena is overly broad,
254
00:11:50,647 --> 00:11:52,670
cumbersome to respond to,
and requests material
255
00:11:52,732 --> 00:11:54,572
that is irrelevant to
the matter at hand today.
256
00:11:54,607 --> 00:11:55,740
How is it irrelevant?
257
00:11:55,786 --> 00:11:57,986
Because the other stops the
office made are not relevant
258
00:11:58,254 --> 00:12:00,423
as to whether he had reasonable
suspicion in this stop.
259
00:12:00,557 --> 00:12:02,192
Of course they are!
260
00:12:02,325 --> 00:12:04,204
Let's say he stops 100 people
and all forms for those stops
261
00:12:04,228 --> 00:12:06,763
appear to give valid reasons
for those stops, but maybe
262
00:12:06,897 --> 00:12:09,566
one or two of those people
actually have contraband.
263
00:12:09,700 --> 00:12:12,169
Then, arguably, he's lying
when he fills out those forms,
264
00:12:12,301 --> 00:12:14,570
and thus lying here.
And, if he stops more people
265
00:12:14,704 --> 00:12:16,717
than his fellow officers,
then we'll know that he thinks
266
00:12:16,741 --> 00:12:18,861
that every person he sees
in a high-crime neighborhood
267
00:12:18,975 --> 00:12:21,244
is a criminal in need of a good frisk.
268
00:12:21,744 --> 00:12:23,714
Atta girl, Ms. Hastings!
269
00:12:23,848 --> 00:12:25,750
Nice to see a rookie gain her footing.
270
00:12:25,882 --> 00:12:28,719
Your Honor, this is the worst
kind of fishing expedition.
271
00:12:28,852 --> 00:12:31,988
I tend to agree with the
fishing expedition part.
272
00:12:32,123 --> 00:12:34,791
This police department is
turning communities of color
273
00:12:34,925 --> 00:12:36,928
in this city into
Civil Rights-free zones.
274
00:12:37,060 --> 00:12:39,763
By way of example, in
Brownsville, Brooklyn in 2009
275
00:12:39,897 --> 00:12:43,367
93 out of every 100 residents
were stopped by the NYPD.
276
00:12:43,501 --> 00:12:45,411
And that's why the Bronx
defenders won their lawsuit,
277
00:12:45,435 --> 00:12:47,613
and that's why these officers
have to fill out this form.
278
00:12:47,637 --> 00:12:50,941
It's also why a federal monitor
is dealing with this issue.
279
00:12:51,342 --> 00:12:54,978
I'll take the Defense's request
for a subpoena under advisement.
280
00:12:55,112 --> 00:12:56,781
- Your Honor!
- No, no!
281
00:12:56,913 --> 00:12:59,249
Mr. Riggs, don't press your luck.
282
00:13:17,667 --> 00:13:23,740
? I would sleep out in the rain
Give up everything ?
283
00:13:24,075 --> 00:13:26,878
? Just to be with you... ?
284
00:13:43,460 --> 00:13:47,664
- What is this place?
- It's a wellness retreat center.
285
00:13:47,797 --> 00:13:51,067
- With activity periods?
- Come on! It could be fun.
286
00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:55,738
It's like a cross between
a spa and a summer camp.
287
00:13:55,873 --> 00:13:57,551
You know being around
white folks and robes
288
00:13:57,575 --> 00:13:59,410
makes me nervous, right?
289
00:14:01,578 --> 00:14:03,381
Well, when they're sipping herbal tea,
290
00:14:03,513 --> 00:14:05,349
it probably reduces their threat level.
291
00:14:05,482 --> 00:14:07,751
Yeah, but no one here is
wearing any regular clothes.
292
00:14:07,883 --> 00:14:09,887
It's not a nudist colony, is it?
293
00:14:12,089 --> 00:14:13,825
In our suite, maybe.
294
00:14:31,208 --> 00:14:33,344
I thought we had a rule, Richard.
295
00:14:33,477 --> 00:14:36,914
No public meetings. Thank you.
296
00:14:42,552 --> 00:14:44,020
Well, I left Audrey,
297
00:14:44,153 --> 00:14:46,033
and this is far enough
away from the courthouse.
298
00:14:46,089 --> 00:14:48,124
Except we can't have sex here, honey.
299
00:14:48,658 --> 00:14:50,426
Unless you have a thing
for public bathrooms
300
00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:51,963
that I don't know about.
301
00:14:52,095 --> 00:14:54,831
I thought it would be
nice if we shared a meal.
302
00:14:55,331 --> 00:14:58,268
Where we just talked, actually
got to know each other a little.
303
00:14:59,503 --> 00:15:01,873
A glass of Chardonnay. Thanks.
304
00:15:04,742 --> 00:15:08,078
Okay. What do you want to know?
305
00:15:08,211 --> 00:15:10,580
Well, I know you grew
up in North Carolina.
306
00:15:11,214 --> 00:15:14,317
So, tell me about your family.
307
00:15:17,187 --> 00:15:19,756
- Two brothers, one sister.
- Uh-huh.
308
00:15:19,889 --> 00:15:21,958
And were you all close, growing up?
309
00:15:22,092 --> 00:15:25,096
- We got along fine.
- Define "fine".
310
00:15:26,663 --> 00:15:29,032
My brothers and I were
like peas in a pod,
311
00:15:29,166 --> 00:15:32,301
and my sister and I,
we just always fought.
312
00:15:32,935 --> 00:15:35,872
- Was she jealous of you?
- I don't know, actually.
313
00:15:36,006 --> 00:15:38,642
She just... never really liked me.
314
00:15:39,709 --> 00:15:44,815
- That must have been hard.
- Your turn!
315
00:15:47,517 --> 00:15:50,253
I grew up in New Jersey.
My father was a lawyer.
316
00:15:51,354 --> 00:15:52,723
I wanted to be a painter,
317
00:15:52,857 --> 00:15:55,525
but then I met Audrey,
and she got pregnant.
318
00:15:55,658 --> 00:15:57,794
You know you've never
asked me about Audrey?
319
00:15:59,262 --> 00:16:01,364
You never asked why the
marriage wasn't working.
320
00:16:01,498 --> 00:16:03,868
Because I don't really
want to know, sugar.
321
00:16:05,435 --> 00:16:08,305
Okay. Why wasn't your marriage working?
322
00:16:08,437 --> 00:16:10,506
- Thank you.
- Well,
323
00:16:10,641 --> 00:16:12,561
I don't think I was ever
really in love with her.
324
00:16:12,943 --> 00:16:14,644
I think we reached a
point where marriage
325
00:16:14,777 --> 00:16:16,245
was the next right step.
326
00:16:17,247 --> 00:16:20,483
Also, you never asked me
why I didn't leave her.
327
00:16:20,617 --> 00:16:22,320
I just figured you
didn't have the balls.
328
00:16:22,820 --> 00:16:26,922
- Well, okay. What about you?
- What about me what?
329
00:16:27,056 --> 00:16:28,825
Why are you sleeping with married men?
330
00:16:28,993 --> 00:16:32,430
- Men?
- I assume I'm not the first.
331
00:16:32,562 --> 00:16:35,031
Which begs the question, doesn't it:
332
00:16:35,165 --> 00:16:36,533
What are you avoiding?
333
00:16:36,666 --> 00:16:38,568
You know what, sugar? I
forgot that I have cases
334
00:16:38,701 --> 00:16:40,871
going on in Part F this afternoon.
335
00:16:44,908 --> 00:16:46,876
I booked a hotel room for us tonight.
336
00:16:47,011 --> 00:16:49,113
Yeah? Is it going to
be 20 questions again?
337
00:16:49,246 --> 00:16:50,915
Or can we just screw?
338
00:16:52,682 --> 00:16:55,085
- We can just screw.
- Good.
339
00:16:55,219 --> 00:16:56,988
I'll see you tonight, then.
340
00:16:59,555 --> 00:17:02,126
I was on my way to class at
Manhattan Community College.
341
00:17:02,259 --> 00:17:03,627
Cops rolled up on me.
342
00:17:03,760 --> 00:17:06,897
That one asked for my
ID and what I was doing.
343
00:17:07,464 --> 00:17:10,666
I told him I knew my rights and
I ain't consenting to no search.
344
00:17:10,801 --> 00:17:13,870
He threw me on top of his car,
searched me anyway,
345
00:17:14,004 --> 00:17:15,772
cussed me out, called me a nigga.
346
00:17:15,906 --> 00:17:19,009
Could you explain why you didn't
cooperate with Officer Porter?
347
00:17:19,141 --> 00:17:20,810
I was just tired of being stopped.
348
00:17:20,945 --> 00:17:23,379
It's always the same:
I got a bulge in my waistband,
349
00:17:23,513 --> 00:17:27,149
my jacket pocket, in my pants,
or I "fit the description".
350
00:17:27,684 --> 00:17:29,887
You know, that's a
favorite one of theirs.
351
00:17:30,020 --> 00:17:32,556
Except they never tell you
what the description is.
352
00:17:32,688 --> 00:17:35,558
How has constantly being stopped
by police affected your life?
353
00:17:35,693 --> 00:17:37,493
Objection, Your Honor! Relevance.
354
00:17:37,961 --> 00:17:40,431
It goes to show Mr. Dumay's
state of mind, Your Honor.
355
00:17:40,563 --> 00:17:43,199
To be convicted of obstructing
governmental administration,
356
00:17:43,333 --> 00:17:44,767
he has to have intended
357
00:17:44,901 --> 00:17:46,546
to interfere with the
officer's lawful duties.
358
00:17:46,570 --> 00:17:48,239
If he only intended to assert his rights
359
00:17:48,371 --> 00:17:51,108
during an unlawful stop,
that intent did not exist.
360
00:17:51,875 --> 00:17:54,878
- Overruled.
- I've gotten five cell phones
361
00:17:55,012 --> 00:17:57,248
broken by being slammed against walls,
362
00:17:57,380 --> 00:18:00,850
I got a scar on my left cheek
from being thrown to the ground.
363
00:18:01,151 --> 00:18:03,052
- Anything else?
- My time.
364
00:18:03,185 --> 00:18:05,121
I gotta build an extra 30-45 minutes
365
00:18:05,255 --> 00:18:08,024
just to get where I'm going,
just in case I get stopped.
366
00:18:08,158 --> 00:18:11,195
And that's not even enough time.
Last time I was stopped,
367
00:18:11,328 --> 00:18:14,432
I was late for a job interview
and I didn't get hired.
368
00:18:15,566 --> 00:18:18,969
It just messes with you.
All I want is to be able
369
00:18:19,102 --> 00:18:24,108
to walk down the street in peace
in my neighborhood, in my city.
370
00:18:26,710 --> 00:18:28,512
Thank you, Mr. Dumay.
371
00:18:36,118 --> 00:18:37,454
Mr. Dumay, you said you did not
372
00:18:37,587 --> 00:18:40,224
cooperate because you were
tired of being stopped,
373
00:18:40,357 --> 00:18:41,558
- is that correct?
- Yes.
374
00:18:41,691 --> 00:18:43,127
- So you were angry.
- Yes.
375
00:18:43,260 --> 00:18:44,900
You didn't want the
officer to search you.
376
00:18:44,994 --> 00:18:46,596
I wanted to be treated with respect.
377
00:18:46,730 --> 00:18:49,132
If he treated you with respect
you would have cooperated?
378
00:18:49,265 --> 00:18:50,801
Maybe, I don't know.
379
00:18:50,934 --> 00:18:53,936
Your Honor, being tired of
being stopped isn't a defense
380
00:18:54,070 --> 00:18:56,072
to obstructing
governmental administration.
381
00:18:56,205 --> 00:18:57,942
It is if the stop was unlawful.
382
00:18:58,309 --> 00:19:01,345
Which is why, again, we need
a ruling on the subpoena.
383
00:19:03,179 --> 00:19:05,782
You'll have my decision soon, Mr. Riggs.
384
00:19:10,153 --> 00:19:11,722
Why is he putting us off?
385
00:19:11,855 --> 00:19:14,224
He wants to give it to us.
But he knows if he does,
386
00:19:14,358 --> 00:19:16,460
he'll have the Chief Judge
banging on his door.
387
00:19:16,592 --> 00:19:19,462
The Chief of Police was
already banging on hers.
388
00:19:19,996 --> 00:19:24,834
- Which way do you think he's gonna go?
- Honestly, I have no idea.
389
00:19:26,941 --> 00:19:28,809
I mean, look at these activities!
390
00:19:28,942 --> 00:19:31,545
"Mineral forging for mindfulness,
391
00:19:31,811 --> 00:19:33,413
quantum consciousness..."
392
00:19:33,548 --> 00:19:36,517
Okay, wait, "Floating meditation."
393
00:19:36,651 --> 00:19:38,952
Watch stress, tension
and worry dissipate
394
00:19:39,086 --> 00:19:41,288
as you flow weightlessly
in our silk hammocks
395
00:19:41,422 --> 00:19:45,026
and experience the serene
vibrations of healing crystals.
396
00:19:45,159 --> 00:19:48,363
Hold on! "May cause motion sickness".
397
00:19:49,730 --> 00:19:52,733
Well, they have drumming
and tightrope walking.
398
00:19:52,866 --> 00:19:56,036
- That could be fun.
- Hold on! Horse-painting?
399
00:19:56,737 --> 00:19:59,507
They're painting the
side of an actual horse?
400
00:19:59,640 --> 00:20:01,442
- Okay, that's stupid.
- Yeah.
401
00:20:01,576 --> 00:20:03,344
Uh, but keep an open mind.
402
00:20:03,477 --> 00:20:05,513
Why, so I can work
with bees in an apiary?
403
00:20:05,645 --> 00:20:08,081
No, there could be some
fun stuff here, you know?
404
00:20:08,982 --> 00:20:13,154
Okay. Okay. Look,
Brazilian martial arts!
405
00:20:13,586 --> 00:20:16,990
Martini master class... now
I can get behind those things!
406
00:20:19,294 --> 00:20:22,363
I have to say, this place is relaxing.
407
00:20:27,567 --> 00:20:30,203
? Uh, yeah, You don't
want this problem ?
408
00:20:30,337 --> 00:20:31,939
NYPD doesn't want to set a precedent
409
00:20:32,073 --> 00:20:35,176
for releasing this data.
So I'm offering your guy an ACD.
410
00:20:35,815 --> 00:20:37,552
Interesting.
411
00:20:40,949 --> 00:20:44,285
Take the deal before judge
rules or it's off the table.
412
00:20:49,722 --> 00:20:51,602
They don't want the judge
to sign this subpoena,
413
00:20:51,725 --> 00:20:53,393
so they've made an offer.
414
00:20:53,961 --> 00:20:55,604
They'll dismiss the
charges after six months,
415
00:20:55,628 --> 00:20:57,140
as long as you don't get arrested again.
416
00:20:57,164 --> 00:20:58,832
So I gotta act like a good little nigga
417
00:20:58,965 --> 00:21:01,668
- anytime they stop me, huh?
- That'd be a fair assumption.
418
00:21:01,801 --> 00:21:04,270
- What d'you think?
- I think the DA's seen the data
419
00:21:04,404 --> 00:21:06,507
and they know they don't
have a pot to piss in.
420
00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:10,945
I think they're running scared
and I'd love to hem that cop up.
421
00:21:11,444 --> 00:21:13,447
- Then that's what we do.
- Aight.
422
00:21:30,030 --> 00:21:33,466
Okay. Really, hon, why don't
you just do me from behind, OK?
423
00:21:33,600 --> 00:21:35,535
I've got to get home.
424
00:21:35,970 --> 00:21:38,239
- What's wrong?
- Nothing.
425
00:21:38,372 --> 00:21:42,343
- I'm fine.
- Is it the hotel room?
426
00:21:43,210 --> 00:21:45,444
I know, it's a little
too clandestine, isn't it?
427
00:21:45,578 --> 00:21:48,782
No, it's... a nice room.
428
00:21:51,978 --> 00:21:54,347
How about you and I get
an apartment together?
429
00:21:54,680 --> 00:21:57,551
What?! No!
430
00:21:58,703 --> 00:22:00,205
No.
431
00:22:02,281 --> 00:22:04,012
How are we going to take
this to the next level?
432
00:22:04,036 --> 00:22:06,840
Next level? Honey, this is the
only level you're gonna get.
433
00:22:08,202 --> 00:22:10,938
I risked my career for you.
I covered for you.
434
00:22:11,070 --> 00:22:12,940
You want to blackmail me into...
435
00:22:13,906 --> 00:22:17,444
Tracy. I love you.
436
00:22:18,512 --> 00:22:21,848
Don't say that. Don't ever say that.
437
00:22:22,700 --> 00:22:24,202
I've got to go.
438
00:22:26,059 --> 00:22:28,994
The last step before we close
our dream catcher is the beads.
439
00:22:29,128 --> 00:22:30,629
Now, as you reach for the beads,
440
00:22:30,762 --> 00:22:33,465
let's all offer a silent
prayer to Grandmother.
441
00:22:34,032 --> 00:22:36,068
Glorious Grandmother, Diwa spirit,
442
00:22:36,202 --> 00:22:40,240
guide me toward healing my
body and catching my dreams.
443
00:22:40,473 --> 00:22:42,908
Just three Not-guilty's
in a row, please.
444
00:22:43,041 --> 00:22:45,677
Now, let's open our eyes
and weave with wonder.
445
00:22:46,646 --> 00:22:51,717
- Thank you, Grandmother.
- Yeah, thank you, Grandmother.
446
00:22:52,685 --> 00:22:55,187
- Yours is very beautiful.
- Thank you.
447
00:22:58,758 --> 00:23:01,761
Oh, my God! You're Bennett Thompson.
448
00:23:02,494 --> 00:23:04,597
I've read all of your books.
449
00:23:04,730 --> 00:23:07,533
Thank you, Younesse.
That's very flattering.
450
00:23:08,233 --> 00:23:10,136
Oh, I just saw on
Twitter you got engaged!
451
00:23:10,269 --> 00:23:14,641
This must be your fiancee.
Is it Ashley? Or Alison?
452
00:23:16,342 --> 00:23:18,544
No, actually, this is my sister.
453
00:23:19,744 --> 00:23:21,714
It's nice to meet you.
454
00:23:22,982 --> 00:23:24,817
Nice to meet you too.
455
00:23:25,651 --> 00:23:29,220
I've considered the Defense's motion
for a subpoena,
456
00:23:29,355 --> 00:23:31,524
and while I am sensitive to the issues,
457
00:23:31,657 --> 00:23:33,693
I find that the forms
the officer filled out
458
00:23:33,827 --> 00:23:37,397
for other stops have
little bearing on this one.
459
00:23:38,097 --> 00:23:40,367
The motion for the
stop-and-frisk data is denied.
460
00:23:40,500 --> 00:23:43,336
Judge, you can't let these cops
continue to get away with this!
461
00:23:43,468 --> 00:23:45,904
I'm sorry, Counselor. This
just isn't the right forum.
462
00:23:46,038 --> 00:23:47,506
They roam around black communities
463
00:23:47,639 --> 00:23:49,352
- like an occupying force...
- I gave you my decision.
464
00:23:49,376 --> 00:23:50,943
They do whatever the hell they want!
465
00:23:51,077 --> 00:23:53,221
- Counselor, stop talking!
- That cop stopped my client
466
00:23:53,245 --> 00:23:54,685
for no other reason than he's black!
467
00:23:54,813 --> 00:23:56,682
You know it, I know it,
and she knows it.
468
00:23:56,816 --> 00:24:00,153
Mr. Riggs! I have given you my decision.
469
00:24:00,285 --> 00:24:02,988
The forms are not relevant.
470
00:24:05,057 --> 00:24:07,793
Now, how would you like to proceed?
471
00:24:08,560 --> 00:24:11,891
We need a continuance so I can
secure a witness, Your Honor.
472
00:24:12,092 --> 00:24:13,234
What witness?
473
00:24:13,268 --> 00:24:14,988
I don't owe you a
heads-up on our witnesses.
474
00:24:15,100 --> 00:24:16,535
Now, now, let's keep it civil.
475
00:24:16,669 --> 00:24:19,272
The case is continued until tomorrow.
476
00:24:33,857 --> 00:24:36,559
- Who's the witness?
- We don't have a witness.
477
00:24:36,693 --> 00:24:39,261
Charlie, I want a witness too,
but we can't lie to the court.
478
00:24:39,395 --> 00:24:42,565
Were you even listening?
Everybody's lying.
479
00:24:42,827 --> 00:24:44,561
Nobody cares!
480
00:24:45,668 --> 00:24:48,303
Damn it! I just want
to take his face and...
481
00:24:49,094 --> 00:24:52,211
You talking' about Judge Adler,
Nasah, or the cop?
482
00:24:52,275 --> 00:24:53,344
All of them.
483
00:24:53,385 --> 00:24:55,425
Honey, you knew you weren't
gonna get that subpoena!
484
00:24:55,454 --> 00:24:57,666
Cause if you'd got it, we'd all
subpoena them at every stop.
485
00:24:57,690 --> 00:24:59,926
Adler would have NYPD
up his old, wrinkly ass.
486
00:25:00,058 --> 00:25:01,426
Yeah, yeah.
487
00:25:01,560 --> 00:25:04,093
I know this one feels personal,
but it's not.
488
00:25:04,234 --> 00:25:06,505
It damn sure felt personal
when they had me face-down
489
00:25:06,638 --> 00:25:08,974
on that cop car with my
hands cuffed behind my back.
490
00:25:09,107 --> 00:25:11,944
And I'm sure it feels pretty
damn personal to Marcus, too.
491
00:25:12,176 --> 00:25:14,378
He was stopped by that
particular cop three times.
492
00:25:14,512 --> 00:25:18,049
But it's not personal to them,
which gives them the advantage.
493
00:25:18,183 --> 00:25:20,063
Honey, you have to take
your emotions out of it.
494
00:25:20,118 --> 00:25:22,162
I'm starting to think we're
never gonna get these guys,
495
00:25:22,186 --> 00:25:24,789
- unless we get them on tape.
- What if we already have?
496
00:25:25,557 --> 00:25:27,392
This cop has stopped
Marcus numerous times,
497
00:25:27,525 --> 00:25:30,661
so he's probably stopped a
lot of people more than once.
498
00:25:30,795 --> 00:25:32,472
What if there's a video
of one of those stops
499
00:25:32,496 --> 00:25:35,032
just waiting for the opportunity
to be put to good use?
500
00:25:35,166 --> 00:25:37,111
But how are we going to
find out if there's a tape?
501
00:25:37,135 --> 00:25:38,935
Ride through the
neighborhood with a bullhorn?
502
00:25:39,003 --> 00:25:41,272
Sort of.
503
00:25:42,573 --> 00:25:45,377
I'm starting not to hate her as much.
504
00:25:48,813 --> 00:25:51,182
- Gwen!
- Your sister?
505
00:25:51,316 --> 00:25:53,485
- Gwen!
- Your sister?!
506
00:25:53,618 --> 00:25:55,486
Look, I panicked when
they recognized me!
507
00:25:55,619 --> 00:25:57,488
Who do you think you are? Stephen King?
508
00:25:57,621 --> 00:26:00,457
- Who cares who recognizes you?
- What was I supposed to say?
509
00:26:00,591 --> 00:26:02,631
Yes, this is Alison? Or no,
this is not my fiancee,
510
00:26:02,727 --> 00:26:05,063
this is woman I cheated on
her while she gave us 30 days?
511
00:26:05,196 --> 00:26:07,099
Who cares?
512
00:26:08,166 --> 00:26:11,503
Hey! I'm boning the writer
Bennett Thompson for 30 days
513
00:26:11,636 --> 00:26:13,437
and his fiancee, Alison, knows it!
514
00:26:13,571 --> 00:26:14,705
- Stop!
- Get off me!
515
00:26:14,839 --> 00:26:16,707
Look, I'm sorry, okay?
516
00:26:16,841 --> 00:26:18,652
I'm a public figure.
What was I supposed to do?
517
00:26:18,676 --> 00:26:20,387
I mean, we never got sat down
and got our story straight.
518
00:26:20,411 --> 00:26:22,880
We do not need a story. It is simple.
519
00:26:23,014 --> 00:26:26,551
- Are we here together or not?
- Yes. We are.
520
00:26:27,142 --> 00:26:29,745
But I spent an entire life with Alison,
521
00:26:29,830 --> 00:26:31,374
and until you came
back into the picture,
522
00:26:31,398 --> 00:26:33,206
I was going to spend the
rest of my life with her.
523
00:26:33,230 --> 00:26:36,049
I just can't press a button
and erase all of that.
524
00:26:43,568 --> 00:26:46,939
So where does that leave me?
525
00:26:47,203 --> 00:26:49,406
Here.
526
00:26:50,815 --> 00:26:52,550
Now.
527
00:26:53,767 --> 00:26:55,236
With me.
528
00:26:58,516 --> 00:27:00,418
Like a sister?
529
00:27:01,314 --> 00:27:02,816
Yes.
530
00:27:03,426 --> 00:27:08,865
Like a very... very hot "sistah".
531
00:27:13,064 --> 00:27:15,466
You heard me say "sistah", right?
532
00:27:16,401 --> 00:27:18,736
Oh, so this was all
just a vowel problem?
533
00:27:18,870 --> 00:27:24,243
Yes. Vowel problem. Those damn vowels!
534
00:27:28,437 --> 00:27:29,530
Hey!
535
00:27:29,602 --> 00:27:32,851
This is Charlie Riggs with
the Defendants' Association.
536
00:27:32,991 --> 00:27:36,701
And what I'm looking for is people.
In particular black folks,
537
00:27:36,929 --> 00:27:39,591
- who, umm...
- Cut, cut!
538
00:27:39,654 --> 00:27:40,685
Cut?
539
00:27:40,740 --> 00:27:43,140
You ain't Ava DuVernay!
You ain't directing my video!
540
00:27:43,210 --> 00:27:45,194
Well, someone has to. That was terrible.
541
00:27:45,484 --> 00:27:47,029
What happened to making
love to the camera?
542
00:27:47,053 --> 00:27:49,122
You just... blew chunks all over it.
543
00:27:49,255 --> 00:27:50,857
Really helpful, Trace.
544
00:27:50,991 --> 00:27:53,460
Okay, I took a public speaking
class once, and they taught us
545
00:27:53,594 --> 00:27:55,629
that it helps to have a
mental image of someone
546
00:27:55,761 --> 00:27:57,431
and pretend you're speaking to them.
547
00:27:57,565 --> 00:28:00,567
So, I'll just stand behind
the laptop and you can pretend
548
00:28:00,701 --> 00:28:04,271
- you're speaking to me.
- Okay.
549
00:28:10,210 --> 00:28:11,444
Hey, what's up?
550
00:28:11,578 --> 00:28:13,748
This is Charlie Riggs and I'm a lawyer,
551
00:28:13,880 --> 00:28:15,400
defending a young brother that's tired
552
00:28:15,447 --> 00:28:17,983
of getting stopped and
frisked by this guy.
553
00:28:18,284 --> 00:28:21,420
If you have video proof
of him messing with you,
554
00:28:21,554 --> 00:28:23,723
or someone else, I could really use it.
555
00:28:23,857 --> 00:28:27,669
Please share it with the hashtag
#nothinginmypockets.
556
00:28:28,796 --> 00:28:30,330
- Could be worse.
- Could be worse?
557
00:28:30,463 --> 00:28:33,600
- I was "Denzeling" that shit!
- Okay, Denzel, calm down.
558
00:28:33,733 --> 00:28:36,602
Now, how are we going
to get this out there?
559
00:28:36,735 --> 00:28:38,037
What about Bennett?
560
00:28:38,172 --> 00:28:40,440
He has, like,
200,000 followers on Twitter.
561
00:28:40,573 --> 00:28:42,218
- You want me to call Gwen?
- Where is she?
562
00:28:42,242 --> 00:28:45,879
- With Bennett.
- No, I'll call her.
563
00:28:50,451 --> 00:28:52,420
Good luck, sugar.
564
00:29:03,230 --> 00:29:04,698
- Hey, Charlie.
- Hey!
565
00:29:04,830 --> 00:29:07,266
- Where you at?
- At the Belandini.
566
00:29:07,400 --> 00:29:09,135
- What's that?
- You wouldn't believe it.
567
00:29:09,269 --> 00:29:13,373
It's like a psych ward
for the granola crowd.
568
00:29:13,506 --> 00:29:15,541
Oh.
569
00:29:15,742 --> 00:29:20,280
About the other night...
I was out of line.
570
00:29:21,080 --> 00:29:23,884
No, I... I should have never dragged you
571
00:29:24,017 --> 00:29:26,287
to that whack-ass wedding
shower in the first place.
572
00:29:26,419 --> 00:29:28,720
No. What you do and who you do it with,
573
00:29:28,855 --> 00:29:30,124
that's your business.
574
00:29:30,256 --> 00:29:31,868
Yeah, but our friendship
is important to me.
575
00:29:31,892 --> 00:29:33,260
No worries.
576
00:29:34,261 --> 00:29:36,096
Friends to the end, right?
577
00:29:37,130 --> 00:29:39,499
So, listen, I can't really
talk right now, cause...
578
00:29:39,633 --> 00:29:41,268
Well, just, I need a favor.
579
00:29:41,601 --> 00:29:44,670
I put together a little video
trying to hustle up black men
580
00:29:44,804 --> 00:29:46,438
that have been stopped by this one cop,
581
00:29:46,572 --> 00:29:48,608
using the hashtag #nothinginmypockets.
582
00:29:48,742 --> 00:29:50,143
Ooh, I like it.
583
00:29:50,277 --> 00:29:51,787
But, I need somebody
with a huge following,
584
00:29:51,811 --> 00:29:55,147
so that we can get the video to go wide.
585
00:29:55,281 --> 00:29:57,150
You think Bennett would do me a solid?
586
00:29:57,283 --> 00:30:00,253
I don't see why not.
Hold on, you can ask him.
587
00:30:00,386 --> 00:30:01,954
- Bennett!
- Yeah.
588
00:30:02,088 --> 00:30:04,023
Charlie has a question.
589
00:30:07,927 --> 00:30:10,363
Hey, Charlie, what's up?
590
00:30:13,733 --> 00:30:15,969
Right.
591
00:30:16,302 --> 00:30:18,871
Good. That I can make work.
592
00:30:19,005 --> 00:30:20,439
I'll text you my publicist's number
593
00:30:20,572 --> 00:30:22,768
and she'll take it from there.
594
00:30:26,546 --> 00:30:27,866
Waiting on your DateMatcher date?
595
00:30:27,982 --> 00:30:30,483
Excuse me? I'm not on DateMatcher.
596
00:30:30,617 --> 00:30:31,894
Oh, just on "The Mate".
597
00:30:31,918 --> 00:30:33,882
Aren't you the nosy bartender?
598
00:30:33,937 --> 00:30:35,907
- No, I'm Derek.
- Tracy.
599
00:30:36,040 --> 00:30:39,476
No ring. With my luck, you're
either gay and/or taken.
600
00:30:39,609 --> 00:30:42,079
Neither. So, what's your pleasure?
601
00:30:42,212 --> 00:30:46,008
If we're talking about a drink,
vodka soda, splash of "cran".
602
00:30:46,133 --> 00:30:47,426
So a light-weight.
603
00:30:47,450 --> 00:30:50,754
Alright, F-you then.
Bourbon, straight up.
604
00:30:50,888 --> 00:30:52,490
Now we're getting somewhere.
605
00:30:55,392 --> 00:30:58,696
So, which is it? Your place or mine?
606
00:30:59,097 --> 00:31:00,865
Whichever's closer.
607
00:31:06,102 --> 00:31:07,604
How did you snag a job at Snapchat?
608
00:31:07,737 --> 00:31:09,239
Oh, they recruited me!
609
00:31:09,373 --> 00:31:12,091
And they flew me out to L.A.
four times for interviews.
610
00:31:12,209 --> 00:31:13,910
Did he tell you how much he's banking?
611
00:31:14,044 --> 00:31:16,046
Oh, are we seriously
talking money at the table?
612
00:31:16,179 --> 00:31:17,614
Yeah.
613
00:31:17,747 --> 00:31:21,184
- That much?
- Yeah, well. Greed is good.
614
00:31:21,319 --> 00:31:23,220
So, how's the Defender Association?
615
00:31:23,353 --> 00:31:24,688
It's definitely an adjustment.
616
00:31:24,790 --> 00:31:26,959
I have, like, 100 misdemeanor
cases at any one time,
617
00:31:27,092 --> 00:31:28,593
and I've just had my first trial.
618
00:31:28,726 --> 00:31:29,927
What? Lucky you!
619
00:31:30,062 --> 00:31:33,749
I don't get any trial experience
but I am getting
620
00:31:33,803 --> 00:31:35,554
- a bigger office at Caldwell.
- You are?
621
00:31:35,656 --> 00:31:37,476
I spearheaded the document review
622
00:31:37,580 --> 00:31:39,734
on one of our biggest
pharmaceutical cases...
623
00:31:39,859 --> 00:31:41,526
The partners sat me down last week.
624
00:31:41,660 --> 00:31:43,838
People work at the Association
for years before they even
625
00:31:43,862 --> 00:31:45,399
get their own office.
626
00:31:45,532 --> 00:31:47,577
You're just constantly hustling
trying to get your client
627
00:31:47,601 --> 00:31:49,002
- a fair deal.
- Fair?
628
00:31:49,134 --> 00:31:50,702
- They're criminals.
- You're wrong.
629
00:31:50,836 --> 00:31:52,648
I just defended a guy that
got stopped by the cops
630
00:31:52,672 --> 00:31:54,907
40 times just because he's black.
631
00:31:55,074 --> 00:31:56,920
And a woman who went to jail
because she bounced a check
632
00:31:56,944 --> 00:31:59,702
for 356 dollars. She has kids.
633
00:31:59,874 --> 00:32:01,584
Seriously Van, you gotta
get out of that place.
634
00:32:01,608 --> 00:32:03,119
Yeah, I mean, if you
want to do criminal,
635
00:32:03,143 --> 00:32:05,445
you could just do
white-collar at CaldWell.
636
00:32:05,579 --> 00:32:09,384
Why work in gutter,
if you can work in penthouse?
637
00:32:09,518 --> 00:32:12,386
? Happy birthday to you! ?
638
00:32:12,519 --> 00:32:15,990
? Happy birthday to you!
Happy birthday... ?
639
00:32:17,491 --> 00:32:19,827
For tonight's main course,
we will be preparing
640
00:32:19,960 --> 00:32:23,431
sticky peanut cauliflower wings.
641
00:32:23,832 --> 00:32:25,200
Oh, hold on, sorry.
642
00:32:25,333 --> 00:32:27,634
Cauliflowers have wings, or
do you actually mean chicken?
643
00:32:27,768 --> 00:32:30,372
Ah, no. We just call them wings.
644
00:32:31,940 --> 00:32:33,641
So it's... cauliflower?
645
00:32:33,892 --> 00:32:37,096
Right. The idea of vegan food.
646
00:32:38,855 --> 00:32:40,523
You signed us up for the vegan class?
647
00:32:40,618 --> 00:32:41,938
I didn't know it was straight up.
648
00:32:41,988 --> 00:32:44,290
She was second runner-up
on Competitive Kitchen 2015.
649
00:32:44,424 --> 00:32:46,058
Sorry, there's been a misunderstanding.
650
00:32:46,192 --> 00:32:48,393
I thought we were making actual food.
651
00:32:48,527 --> 00:32:49,896
Don't save the leftovers.
652
00:32:57,607 --> 00:32:59,608
Ms. Hastings, call your next witness.
653
00:32:59,742 --> 00:33:01,912
At this time, the Defense
would like to call everyone
654
00:33:02,045 --> 00:33:04,014
who's been stopped and
frisked by Officer Porter
655
00:33:04,147 --> 00:33:05,482
in the last six months.
656
00:33:08,952 --> 00:33:10,688
Objection! What is going on?
657
00:33:10,820 --> 00:33:12,689
These men were all
stopped by Officer Porter
658
00:33:12,822 --> 00:33:14,990
for having bulges, which
turned out to be keys,
659
00:33:15,125 --> 00:33:17,728
phones, wallets, cigarettes, tissues...
660
00:33:17,860 --> 00:33:21,664
If any of you were subsequently
arrested, please raise your hand.
661
00:33:22,165 --> 00:33:24,068
And these are just the
people we know about.
662
00:33:24,201 --> 00:33:27,671
Your Honor, the visual
aids are inappropriate.
663
00:33:27,805 --> 00:33:30,006
And, yet, effective.
664
00:33:30,339 --> 00:33:33,076
Officer Porter does appear
to be a little trigger-happy
665
00:33:33,210 --> 00:33:34,877
- on the stop-and-frisk.
- This is crazy!
666
00:33:35,011 --> 00:33:37,371
How do we know what each one
of these men is saying is true?
667
00:33:37,480 --> 00:33:39,292
Are we going to put all
40 of them on the stand,
668
00:33:39,316 --> 00:33:41,928
- so I can cross-examine them?
- I do also have 20 videos, Your Honor.
669
00:33:41,952 --> 00:33:43,520
I'd be happy to play them for you.
670
00:33:43,654 --> 00:33:46,190
I don't think that will be necessary.
671
00:33:47,057 --> 00:33:48,592
Do you have a motion, Ms. Hastings?
672
00:33:48,724 --> 00:33:51,261
I move for a directed
verdict of "Not guilty".
673
00:33:51,828 --> 00:33:55,499
- Granted.
- Yes! Yes! I knew it!
674
00:33:57,533 --> 00:33:59,736
- Thank you.
- Good work.
675
00:34:02,405 --> 00:34:05,576
I suggest you give these to
the Serge' over at the 2-5
676
00:34:05,708 --> 00:34:07,944
and he can hand them out
at roll call tomorrow.
677
00:34:08,078 --> 00:34:10,480
Any officer that illegally
stops Mr. Dumay again
678
00:34:10,614 --> 00:34:13,516
is going to be personally joined to the
civil suit he's about to file
679
00:34:13,650 --> 00:34:16,920
against the City and
the police department.
680
00:34:23,844 --> 00:34:25,913
Gwen!
681
00:34:26,429 --> 00:34:28,699
- I don't want to talk.
- We don't have to!
682
00:34:28,931 --> 00:34:30,966
I understand, but I'm
not going anywhere.
683
00:34:31,268 --> 00:34:33,369
How were the vomit peanut non-wings?
684
00:34:33,503 --> 00:34:35,023
Not nearly as good as if I'd have been
685
00:34:35,137 --> 00:34:37,306
- sharing them with you.
- You know this is bullshit.
686
00:34:37,440 --> 00:34:38,976
- Which part?
- All of it.
687
00:34:39,108 --> 00:34:41,944
This whole place is ridiculous.
It's so Alison.
688
00:34:42,078 --> 00:34:43,947
And that's the thing: I'm not her.
689
00:34:44,081 --> 00:34:47,349
I'm not vegan, or perfect,
or any of that.
690
00:34:47,483 --> 00:34:49,786
- And you can't just slot me in.
- I'm sorry! Okay?
691
00:34:49,918 --> 00:34:51,630
I thought all women
kind of liked this place.
692
00:34:51,654 --> 00:34:53,365
- I didn't think it through.
- What are we doing?
693
00:34:53,389 --> 00:34:55,058
- I mean, really.
- We're trying.
694
00:34:55,192 --> 00:34:56,936
You're trying. It's like I'm a
new pair of sneakers,
695
00:34:56,960 --> 00:34:58,760
or a new vegetable,
and you're experimenting.
696
00:34:58,795 --> 00:35:00,697
Which makes me the experiment.
And I feel like
697
00:35:00,829 --> 00:35:02,799
I'm constantly auditioning,
and that sucks!
698
00:35:02,933 --> 00:35:06,902
Gwen, you don't have to audition.
You got the part!
699
00:35:07,237 --> 00:35:10,807
Can we just... take a second and reset?
700
00:35:11,108 --> 00:35:15,012
- Hey, we still have 28 days!
- No, you have 28 days!
701
00:35:15,145 --> 00:35:17,447
You get to just sit there
and decide who you love,
702
00:35:17,579 --> 00:35:19,516
and I got nothing.
You have all the power.
703
00:35:19,648 --> 00:35:21,884
Hell, Alison, has all the power.
She's no dumbass.
704
00:35:22,018 --> 00:35:23,886
She's the one who's
setting the timetable,
705
00:35:24,020 --> 00:35:25,621
and giving you "the choice".
706
00:35:25,755 --> 00:35:27,566
And she's turning me into
a frickin' performing seal.
707
00:35:27,590 --> 00:35:29,101
And this is you being a performing seal?
708
00:35:29,125 --> 00:35:30,827
Yes! And I hate this shit.
709
00:35:30,960 --> 00:35:33,696
But I'm running around here
pretending to like dream-catching
710
00:35:33,831 --> 00:35:36,466
and I'm turning summersaults
and barking for fish!
711
00:35:36,599 --> 00:35:39,536
Gwen! You don't have to prove anything.
712
00:35:39,670 --> 00:35:43,240
I want you, just the way you are.
713
00:35:44,039 --> 00:35:47,244
And to prove it... Come in!
714
00:36:03,626 --> 00:36:05,895
Aw! Chicken and waffles!
715
00:36:06,029 --> 00:36:09,599
To be honest, I kind of
really hate vegan food.
716
00:36:09,733 --> 00:36:12,068
- And Flamebolt!
- You can say what you want
717
00:36:12,201 --> 00:36:13,703
about the activities in this place,
718
00:36:13,837 --> 00:36:17,174
but they really do let
you do anything. Have some.
719
00:36:21,177 --> 00:36:26,416
Ah! Goodbye, Pranayama Mudra meditation!
Hello, New York City!
720
00:36:27,117 --> 00:36:30,687
Hey, do me a favor and get the
map out the glove compartment.
721
00:36:30,820 --> 00:36:33,190
- God, who uses paper maps anymore?
- Call me retro,
722
00:36:33,322 --> 00:36:35,122
but I have a shortcut
and I want to make sure.
723
00:36:35,192 --> 00:36:36,726
There's no map, but what are these?
724
00:36:36,860 --> 00:36:38,820
I have an apartment. I have mine;
those are yours.
725
00:36:39,762 --> 00:36:41,431
- Are you serious?
- Yes.
726
00:36:41,565 --> 00:36:44,568
Let's spend some real time together,
let's make go at this.
727
00:36:49,635 --> 00:36:50,814
- Really?
- Yes.
728
00:36:50,887 --> 00:36:52,682
- You want to drive?
- Hell yeah!
729
00:36:58,514 --> 00:37:00,183
- Thank you.
- You're welcome.
730
00:37:08,546 --> 00:37:09,992
Ooh.
731
00:37:10,126 --> 00:37:12,862
- I forgot this is stick shift.
- Mm-hmm.
732
00:37:15,132 --> 00:37:16,900
I think I've got this.
733
00:37:21,461 --> 00:37:22,718
- Hey!
- Sorry! Sorry.
734
00:37:22,788 --> 00:37:25,384
- You want me to take over?
- No, I don't think so.
735
00:37:25,576 --> 00:37:27,610
I think I got it.
736
00:37:27,744 --> 00:37:31,582
- Gwen!
- I'm just messing with you.
737
00:37:44,293 --> 00:37:45,962
Tracy.
738
00:37:47,063 --> 00:37:50,133
- Is... something wrong?
- What I'm about to say
739
00:37:50,266 --> 00:37:52,001
isn't the beginning of a discussion,
740
00:37:52,134 --> 00:37:54,103
but the announcement of a decision.
741
00:37:54,536 --> 00:37:56,805
- Okay.
- It's been fun.
742
00:37:56,940 --> 00:37:59,275
- But?
- But this is where I leave you.
743
00:38:02,411 --> 00:38:05,214
Why? I'm a free man.
744
00:38:05,849 --> 00:38:08,418
We don't have to hide anymore.
We can be together in public.
745
00:38:08,552 --> 00:38:11,855
What did you think this was?
Dating? Going steady?
746
00:38:11,987 --> 00:38:15,885
Tracy, I left my wife for you.
We've got something going.
747
00:38:15,935 --> 00:38:19,658
No. We had sex going. Lots
and lots of great, kinky sex.
748
00:38:19,729 --> 00:38:21,407
But, if you thought that
this was anything more
749
00:38:21,431 --> 00:38:23,271
than mutual getting off,
or if you thought that
750
00:38:23,333 --> 00:38:26,436
giving me a pearl necklace
meant we had a relationship,
751
00:38:26,570 --> 00:38:27,938
that's on you.
752
00:38:29,572 --> 00:38:33,342
So you think you can just end this, hmm?
753
00:38:33,811 --> 00:38:37,347
- Like that.
- Sugar, I just did.
754
00:38:51,460 --> 00:38:55,831
Can I get a shot of whiskey?
I need to wash this day away.
755
00:38:55,965 --> 00:38:57,701
One more here too, please.
756
00:38:57,833 --> 00:38:59,802
Looks like somebody unclenched.
757
00:38:59,936 --> 00:39:02,139
Do not come for me,
unless I send for you.
758
00:39:02,271 --> 00:39:06,108
Well, well... look at that.
Bambi finally grew a backbone.
759
00:39:06,942 --> 00:39:08,810
Why are you depressed? You won.
760
00:39:08,945 --> 00:39:12,549
- Well, it's my friends.
- Never mind, two more.
761
00:39:12,681 --> 00:39:15,651
- Make that three.
- What is with you two?
762
00:39:15,784 --> 00:39:17,464
You'd think you just
got hammered in court,
763
00:39:17,554 --> 00:39:19,599
instead of making that cop
look like the asshole he is!
764
00:39:19,623 --> 00:39:21,657
- Where's Gwen?
- Catskills!
765
00:39:21,791 --> 00:39:23,559
Good for her!
766
00:39:24,761 --> 00:39:25,896
- Isn't it?
- Vanessa, hon,
767
00:39:26,029 --> 00:39:27,563
- do you have a Hamilton?
- Yeah.
768
00:39:27,697 --> 00:39:29,257
- Good, go to the...
- Feed the jukebox.
769
00:39:29,299 --> 00:39:31,768
Okay, new rule: my money, my picks.
770
00:39:31,900 --> 00:39:33,069
Uh-oh.
771
00:39:34,303 --> 00:39:37,273
Don't give up. Last man standing wins.
772
00:39:38,474 --> 00:39:41,844
What are you talking about?
Gwen and I are just friends.
773
00:39:42,744 --> 00:39:43,980
Okay.
774
00:39:47,516 --> 00:39:50,052
? You know you love me
I know you care... ?
775
00:39:50,186 --> 00:39:52,756
- Oh, no, please, no!
- Really, Vanessa?
776
00:39:54,056 --> 00:39:56,659
I told you not to let
her pick! Or dance.
777
00:40:00,262 --> 00:40:04,300
- Stop the madness.
- Yeah. I had the same idea.
778
00:40:05,101 --> 00:40:08,137
Holy shit! Tessa? Campinelli?
779
00:40:08,690 --> 00:40:10,597
You must be mistaking
me for someone else.
780
00:40:10,646 --> 00:40:11,786
No, no, I'm not!
781
00:40:11,822 --> 00:40:13,633
I've been looking all
over for you! You're Tessa!
782
00:40:13,657 --> 00:40:15,377
Uh-huh. I must just
have one of those faces.
783
00:40:17,079 --> 00:40:23,886
? Baby, baby, baby oh
Like baby, baby, baby no ?
784
00:40:24,094 --> 00:40:27,463
? Like baby, baby, baby no oh ?
785
00:40:28,025 --> 00:40:30,760
? Thought you'd always
be mine, mine... ?
786
00:40:30,994 --> 00:40:32,562
Next time on In Contempt...
787
00:40:32,695 --> 00:40:34,463
This guy burned his girlfriend alive,
788
00:40:34,596 --> 00:40:36,299
- and then watched her die!
- Allegedly.
789
00:40:36,433 --> 00:40:37,833
As your new supervisor,
790
00:40:37,967 --> 00:40:39,847
it's my duty to prepare
your performance review.
791
00:40:39,936 --> 00:40:41,338
Tom usually just lets me write it
792
00:40:41,471 --> 00:40:43,706
- and then he signs.
- New sheriff in town.
793
00:40:43,840 --> 00:40:45,709
Bennett and I are sort
of moving in together.
794
00:40:45,842 --> 00:40:48,344
Wow, Bennett! This is great!
795
00:40:48,478 --> 00:40:50,480
We are supposed to be
fighting for justice!
796
00:40:50,614 --> 00:40:53,148
Wrong, wrong, wrong!
797
00:40:53,282 --> 00:40:55,518
- Take me off this trial.
- Easy, now.
798
00:40:55,650 --> 00:40:57,410
You're the one who
wanted more serious cases.
799
00:40:57,454 --> 00:41:01,187
I can't do this. Please. I'm
asking you as my supervisor.
800
