Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:00,396 --> 00:00:02,206
In the criminal justice system,
2
00:00:02,398 --> 00:00:03,774
the people are represented
3
00:00:03,775 --> 00:00:06,276
by two separate, yet
equally important groups:
4
00:00:06,277 --> 00:00:08,070
the police, who investigate crime,
5
00:00:08,071 --> 00:00:10,989
and the district attorneys,
who prosecute the offenders.
6
00:00:10,990 --> 00:00:12,700
These are their stories.
7
00:00:14,744 --> 00:00:16,495
Come on. Don't be shy.
8
00:00:16,496 --> 00:00:17,704
Slow down a minute. Where are we going?
9
00:00:17,705 --> 00:00:19,248
My friend's party, I told you.
10
00:00:19,249 --> 00:00:20,791
You said you wanted to make friends.
11
00:00:20,792 --> 00:00:22,668
She's not gonna believe I
found you at some random bar.
12
00:00:22,669 --> 00:00:24,628
- What are you talking about?
- You're, like, famous.
13
00:00:24,629 --> 00:00:28,257
- I'm really not.
- Well, I recognized you.
14
00:00:28,258 --> 00:00:30,134
Is that the only
reason you talked to me?
15
00:00:30,135 --> 00:00:32,094
No.
16
00:00:32,095 --> 00:00:34,471
I talked to you because you
seemed like the only nice guy
17
00:00:34,472 --> 00:00:36,850
in a bar full of finance bro losers.
18
00:00:41,062 --> 00:00:44,773
You have really kind eyes.
19
00:00:44,774 --> 00:00:46,733
What's your name?
20
00:00:46,734 --> 00:00:47,734
Mallory.
21
00:00:47,735 --> 00:00:48,986
I'm Jonah.
22
00:00:48,987 --> 00:00:51,406
I know. Let's go.
23
00:00:56,161 --> 00:00:58,370
What... what's going on?
24
00:00:58,371 --> 00:00:59,663
You ruined my life.
That's what's going on.
25
00:00:59,664 --> 00:01:01,206
What the hell, man?
26
00:01:01,207 --> 00:01:02,833
Don't! No.
27
00:01:35,366 --> 00:01:37,785
Vic's name is Jonah Barlowe.
28
00:01:37,786 --> 00:01:39,203
Owns the place.
29
00:01:39,204 --> 00:01:42,331
Cleaning lady found him
when she showed up for work.
30
00:01:42,332 --> 00:01:44,792
Cause of death appears
to be blunt force trauma
31
00:01:44,793 --> 00:01:47,545
to the head, probably with that.
32
00:01:48,588 --> 00:01:52,883
Atlas, the Greek god with the
weight of the world on his shoulders.
33
00:01:52,884 --> 00:01:53,926
Time of death?
34
00:01:53,927 --> 00:01:55,511
Uh, based on temp and rigidity,
35
00:01:55,512 --> 00:01:57,054
I'd say between midnight and 2:00 a.m.
36
00:01:57,055 --> 00:01:58,347
Cameras?
37
00:01:58,348 --> 00:02:00,224
Newly installed, but not activated yet.
38
00:02:00,225 --> 00:02:03,227
We've got people out right
now canvassing the block.
39
00:02:03,228 --> 00:02:04,561
Any sign of forced entry?
40
00:02:04,562 --> 00:02:07,856
Nope. Door and windows intact.
41
00:02:07,857 --> 00:02:09,943
So presumably, he let his killer in.
42
00:02:11,277 --> 00:02:12,361
Seem like a robbery?
43
00:02:12,362 --> 00:02:13,529
Vic had his wallet on him.
44
00:02:13,530 --> 00:02:17,074
Cash, cards all there, so.
45
00:02:17,075 --> 00:02:19,910
Gold Rolex on the table here
46
00:02:19,911 --> 00:02:21,453
and the gold statuette.
47
00:02:21,672 --> 00:02:24,079
You find any cell phones, laptops?
48
00:02:24,157 --> 00:02:25,992
No, but we'll keep looking.
49
00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:28,127
Good work.
50
00:02:28,128 --> 00:02:31,755
"The Nobody Who Took
On Wall Street and Won."
51
00:02:31,756 --> 00:02:33,882
Doesn't seem like a winner now.
52
00:02:33,883 --> 00:02:35,801
Don't touch anything in there.
53
00:02:35,802 --> 00:02:37,261
You're gonna need a warrant for that.
54
00:02:37,262 --> 00:02:38,345
Whoa. Whoa. Hey, hey. Excuse me.
55
00:02:38,346 --> 00:02:39,346
Who the hell are you?
56
00:02:39,347 --> 00:02:40,639
I'm Nicholas Baxter.
57
00:02:40,640 --> 00:02:43,308
I was just sworn in
as district attorney...
58
00:02:43,309 --> 00:02:45,436
30 minutes ago, to be exact.
59
00:02:45,437 --> 00:02:46,937
Uh, Detective Jalen Shaw.
60
00:02:46,938 --> 00:02:48,772
It's a pleasure to meet you, Detective.
61
00:02:48,773 --> 00:02:50,482
- Vincent Riley.
- Pleasure.
62
00:02:50,483 --> 00:02:52,276
Uh, it's a pleasure to meet you, sir,
63
00:02:52,277 --> 00:02:53,777
but with all due respect, we got this.
64
00:02:53,778 --> 00:02:55,904
- This is our crime scene.
- I understand.
65
00:02:55,905 --> 00:02:57,906
I was just walking uptown
and I saw the swirling lights,
66
00:02:57,907 --> 00:03:00,117
and I got excited, thought
I'd pop my head inside.
67
00:03:00,118 --> 00:03:02,119
Haven't been to a crime
scene in over 30 years.
68
00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:04,037
Couldn't help myself.
69
00:03:04,038 --> 00:03:05,414
And I'm sorry to interfere.
70
00:03:05,415 --> 00:03:07,500
Please, get back to what you were doing.
71
00:03:08,749 --> 00:03:11,292
There was one more thing.
72
00:03:11,504 --> 00:03:13,630
I want you all to know
that I'm gonna do everything
73
00:03:13,631 --> 00:03:15,424
in my power to create a constructive
74
00:03:15,425 --> 00:03:17,342
and transparent
relationship with the police.
75
00:03:20,163 --> 00:03:21,873
That's it.
76
00:04:14,580 --> 00:04:15,788
No prints on the murder weapon,
77
00:04:15,813 --> 00:04:17,481
but our techs found a single blonde hair
78
00:04:17,529 --> 00:04:19,071
on our vic's right sleeve.
79
00:04:19,072 --> 00:04:21,532
It's obviously not his, so
it's at the lab right now.
80
00:04:21,533 --> 00:04:23,659
Street cam footage shows someone
81
00:04:23,660 --> 00:04:24,868
in an oversized black jacket
82
00:04:24,869 --> 00:04:27,079
fleeing Barlowe's
building at 12:14 a.m.,
83
00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:29,206
but it's too grainy to make an ID.
84
00:04:29,207 --> 00:04:31,416
What about the vic's missing cell phone?
85
00:04:31,417 --> 00:04:33,293
We tried pinging it, but no luck there.
86
00:04:33,294 --> 00:04:35,295
The killer either turned
it off or just dumped it.
87
00:04:35,296 --> 00:04:37,965
All right, so what do
we know about Barlowe?
88
00:04:37,966 --> 00:04:39,424
Single, married?
89
00:04:39,425 --> 00:04:41,677
Yeah, divorced, no kids, lives alone.
90
00:04:41,678 --> 00:04:43,387
Ex-wife lives in London.
91
00:04:43,388 --> 00:04:45,097
We reached out to her, but no luck yet.
92
00:04:45,098 --> 00:04:46,348
Who is this guy?
93
00:04:46,349 --> 00:04:48,225
I mean, where did he
make all his money from?
94
00:04:48,226 --> 00:04:51,979
Oh, he made a ton of money
from that Reels Rental stock.
95
00:04:51,980 --> 00:04:53,856
Loo, come on. You got
to remember that one.
96
00:04:53,857 --> 00:04:55,732
- That became a big deal.
- You know what?
97
00:04:55,733 --> 00:04:57,234
I don't really follow the stock market.
98
00:04:57,235 --> 00:04:58,407
But I don't understand.
99
00:04:58,485 --> 00:05:02,488
How does he get rich off of investing
in a company that rents videos?
100
00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:04,438
I mean, isn't that a dying business?
101
00:05:04,659 --> 00:05:06,243
So these short sellers,
102
00:05:06,244 --> 00:05:08,787
they're all banking on
the stock to tank, right?
103
00:05:08,788 --> 00:05:10,706
Barlowe comes along and
starts posting about it
104
00:05:10,707 --> 00:05:12,791
on social media, saying
"These rich Wall Streeters
105
00:05:12,792 --> 00:05:14,376
are trying to kill this little company.
106
00:05:14,377 --> 00:05:16,628
We got to make a stand, so
everybody start buying it."
107
00:05:16,985 --> 00:05:18,046
And it works.
108
00:05:18,047 --> 00:05:19,840
People start buying shares like crazy.
109
00:05:19,841 --> 00:05:22,050
He played on the heartstrings
of the common man.
110
00:05:22,051 --> 00:05:24,052
David versus Goliath,
that kind of thing.
111
00:05:24,053 --> 00:05:27,014
Starts off with 20 grand,
ends up with 75 million.
112
00:05:27,235 --> 00:05:28,307
Wow. All right.
113
00:05:28,308 --> 00:05:32,686
So we have some single
rich stock market dude.
114
00:05:32,806 --> 00:05:34,354
It's a Friday night.
115
00:05:34,642 --> 00:05:35,634
What's he doing?
116
00:05:35,659 --> 00:05:38,119
Found a receipt in his pocket
for a bar near Wall Street.
117
00:05:38,443 --> 00:05:41,111
Looks like he closed his tab
an hour before the murder.
118
00:05:41,112 --> 00:05:44,114
Well, let's start there,
see what he was up to
119
00:05:44,376 --> 00:05:46,493
and, more importantly, who he was with.
120
00:05:50,317 --> 00:05:53,903
Here's the security footage we pulled
from the camera outside the bar.
121
00:05:54,306 --> 00:05:55,529
That's your car,
122
00:05:55,704 --> 00:05:57,615
that's you, and that's Barlowe.
123
00:05:57,850 --> 00:05:59,268
Who's now dead.
124
00:06:02,704 --> 00:06:04,413
Ah, don't want to talk, huh?
125
00:06:04,790 --> 00:06:06,916
Well, we can always parade you
past your colleagues in cuffs,
126
00:06:06,917 --> 00:06:08,626
take you downtown.
127
00:06:08,821 --> 00:06:09,882
Maybe that'll make you more comfortable.
128
00:06:09,907 --> 00:06:11,587
Okay. Okay.
129
00:06:11,946 --> 00:06:13,773
Son of a bitch cost me a lot of money.
130
00:06:14,110 --> 00:06:15,617
I bet against Reel's Rentals.
131
00:06:15,642 --> 00:06:17,617
I was short, like really short.
132
00:06:17,642 --> 00:06:20,202
And then this idiot starts
posting all this nonsense,
133
00:06:20,227 --> 00:06:21,484
and the stock goes through the roof.
134
00:06:21,509 --> 00:06:22,937
Tanked my entire portfolio.
135
00:06:22,962 --> 00:06:24,058
How much you lose?
136
00:06:24,392 --> 00:06:26,101
$280 million.
137
00:06:26,313 --> 00:06:28,771
- Whoa.
- And then I got fired.
138
00:06:29,376 --> 00:06:32,501
That's how I ended up here
at this, uh, bucket shop,
139
00:06:32,526 --> 00:06:34,318
making cold calls to
doctors and lawyers.
140
00:06:34,829 --> 00:06:37,279
But when I saw him in the
bar, I figured I'd, uh,
141
00:06:38,087 --> 00:06:39,698
express my feelings to him.
142
00:06:39,699 --> 00:06:42,284
Got my girlfriend to lure
him outside so we could talk.
143
00:06:42,759 --> 00:06:44,370
I was drunk, blowing off steam.
144
00:06:44,371 --> 00:06:47,265
So where'd you go after that?
145
00:06:47,665 --> 00:06:49,750
Well, my girlfriend got pissed
146
00:06:49,751 --> 00:06:50,835
that I tried to beat him up,
147
00:06:50,836 --> 00:06:51,836
thought I was just gonna threaten him.
148
00:06:51,837 --> 00:06:53,796
So she took off,
149
00:06:54,071 --> 00:06:55,798
and I kept drinking.
150
00:06:55,954 --> 00:06:58,259
Okay, I think that
you followed Jonah home
151
00:06:58,743 --> 00:06:59,859
and finished the job.
152
00:06:59,884 --> 00:07:00,886
No.
153
00:07:01,009 --> 00:07:03,472
I parked on the street
and fell asleep in my car.
154
00:07:03,832 --> 00:07:05,709
A cop woke me up this morning.
155
00:07:07,686 --> 00:07:10,312
Dominic Sargento did, in
fact, sleep in his car.
156
00:07:10,681 --> 00:07:12,356
Traffic cam footage confirms that.
157
00:07:12,860 --> 00:07:14,108
So he's not our guy.
158
00:07:14,423 --> 00:07:15,359
No, he's not our guy.
159
00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:16,902
We're not actually
looking for a guy at all.
160
00:07:16,903 --> 00:07:19,640
So lab results came back on
the hair on Barlowe's clothes
161
00:07:19,665 --> 00:07:21,490
and turns out, there's
no hit in the system.
162
00:07:21,491 --> 00:07:26,161
But DNA confirms we're
looking for a woman, Caucasian,
163
00:07:26,462 --> 00:07:28,205
likely with green eyes and blonde hair.
164
00:07:28,712 --> 00:07:30,708
So is there anyone in Barlowe's life
165
00:07:30,709 --> 00:07:31,959
that fits that description?
166
00:07:32,368 --> 00:07:34,170
The ex-wife.
167
00:07:34,681 --> 00:07:36,255
Did a little digging.
168
00:07:36,256 --> 00:07:38,174
Turns out she didn't get
a dime in the divorce.
169
00:07:38,719 --> 00:07:40,095
I thought she was in London?
170
00:07:40,173 --> 00:07:42,406
Yeah, lives in London,
currently in New York.
171
00:07:42,431 --> 00:07:44,013
Checked into the Soho Grand the same day
172
00:07:44,014 --> 00:07:45,181
that Barlowe was murdered.
173
00:07:46,517 --> 00:07:47,516
All right.
174
00:07:47,696 --> 00:07:48,863
Bring her in.
175
00:07:52,993 --> 00:07:55,316
I would never kill Jonah.
176
00:07:55,688 --> 00:07:57,067
I loved him.
177
00:07:57,337 --> 00:07:59,195
Loved him?
178
00:07:59,431 --> 00:08:01,238
That man screwed you
out of a lot of money.
179
00:08:01,509 --> 00:08:02,656
What are you talking about?
180
00:08:02,657 --> 00:08:05,034
We know that you didn't
get anything in the divorce.
181
00:08:05,306 --> 00:08:06,202
Correct.
182
00:08:06,203 --> 00:08:08,829
That's because I didn't want any money.
183
00:08:09,024 --> 00:08:10,039
Said no one ever.
184
00:08:10,392 --> 00:08:12,833
The money is why I left.
185
00:08:13,165 --> 00:08:16,629
It was great at first,
but then something changed.
186
00:08:16,931 --> 00:08:17,671
He changed.
187
00:08:17,759 --> 00:08:19,173
Changed how?
188
00:08:19,174 --> 00:08:20,966
It... it was like he
felt guilty or something,
189
00:08:20,967 --> 00:08:22,468
like he didn't deserve it.
190
00:08:22,469 --> 00:08:26,597
And he became a completely
different person.
191
00:08:26,759 --> 00:08:28,974
We tried therapy,
192
00:08:29,376 --> 00:08:31,227
but we just couldn't connect.
193
00:08:31,587 --> 00:08:34,063
And so I... I had to leave.
194
00:08:34,415 --> 00:08:35,207
Okay.
195
00:08:35,431 --> 00:08:37,233
And now you're back
196
00:08:37,234 --> 00:08:39,235
on the very day that he turns up dead.
197
00:08:39,236 --> 00:08:40,528
Pretty big coincidence.
198
00:08:40,529 --> 00:08:41,987
No.
199
00:08:42,399 --> 00:08:44,532
Jonah asked me to come,
200
00:08:44,860 --> 00:08:45,908
said he wanted to try again,
201
00:08:45,909 --> 00:08:48,453
said he'd had a wakeup call.
202
00:08:51,385 --> 00:08:52,719
Ma'am,
203
00:08:53,626 --> 00:08:55,543
would you consent to a DNA swab?
204
00:08:56,012 --> 00:08:57,638
Of course.
205
00:08:59,149 --> 00:09:00,106
I don't know if this is helpful,
206
00:09:00,131 --> 00:09:04,093
but Jonah alluded to some
drama with another woman.
207
00:09:04,306 --> 00:09:05,261
Do you know who this woman is?
208
00:09:05,262 --> 00:09:07,304
No, he didn't say.
209
00:09:07,821 --> 00:09:13,102
Just that he wanted to put it
all behind him and get back to us.
210
00:09:13,392 --> 00:09:15,104
You should check his laptop.
211
00:09:15,595 --> 00:09:16,772
Jonah kept meticulous notes.
212
00:09:16,773 --> 00:09:18,774
If there was someone he was seeing,
213
00:09:18,775 --> 00:09:20,776
there'd be dates on his
calendar, dinner receipts.
214
00:09:20,777 --> 00:09:22,845
I mean, he kept track of everything.
215
00:09:22,993 --> 00:09:27,116
We'd love to do that, but we haven't
been able to locate the laptop.
216
00:09:27,390 --> 00:09:28,808
Did you find the safe?
217
00:09:42,674 --> 00:09:43,799
There it is.
218
00:09:44,081 --> 00:09:45,082
We're in.
219
00:09:46,803 --> 00:09:50,014
Well, no laptop.
220
00:09:50,220 --> 00:09:51,390
But there's this.
221
00:09:51,671 --> 00:09:53,173
External hard drive.
222
00:09:55,520 --> 00:09:58,355
Looks like this thing
is full of video files.
223
00:09:58,884 --> 00:09:59,899
Videos of what?
224
00:10:00,314 --> 00:10:01,817
They are not for the faint of heart.
225
00:10:02,134 --> 00:10:06,155
Uh, but I think you should
see one in particular.
226
00:10:07,322 --> 00:10:08,555
Did that hurt?
227
00:10:08,580 --> 00:10:10,159
- Yes.
- Yes what?
228
00:10:10,401 --> 00:10:12,110
Yes, ma'am.
229
00:10:16,596 --> 00:10:18,931
What about this?
230
00:10:25,509 --> 00:10:27,134
I'm gonna destroy you
231
00:10:27,291 --> 00:10:30,494
like the greedy little nothing you are!
232
00:10:31,853 --> 00:10:34,099
Find out who this woman is
233
00:10:34,100 --> 00:10:36,727
and go and talk to her right now.
234
00:10:46,299 --> 00:10:48,050
Melissa James.
235
00:10:48,408 --> 00:10:49,070
Yes?
236
00:10:49,095 --> 00:10:50,074
NYPD.
237
00:10:50,353 --> 00:10:51,700
Your assistant told
us we'd find you here.
238
00:10:51,701 --> 00:10:53,745
We want to talk to you
about Jonah Barlowe.
239
00:10:55,914 --> 00:10:57,831
- Melissa, everything okay?
- It's fine.
240
00:10:57,832 --> 00:10:59,542
Unfortunately, I don't know
who you're talking about.
241
00:10:59,543 --> 00:11:01,460
- Oh, we think you do.
- Yeah.
242
00:11:01,461 --> 00:11:02,753
We got some pretty compelling video
243
00:11:02,754 --> 00:11:05,297
that supports our point of view.
244
00:11:05,298 --> 00:11:06,882
I have nothing to say to you.
245
00:11:06,883 --> 00:11:09,386
Well, in that case,
you're coming with us.
246
00:11:13,635 --> 00:11:14,970
I'm gonna destroy you
247
00:11:15,428 --> 00:11:18,072
like the greedy little nothing you are!
248
00:11:18,433 --> 00:11:20,518
Everything in that video was consensual.
249
00:11:20,684 --> 00:11:22,351
We were role-playing.
250
00:11:22,352 --> 00:11:24,270
You know, I'd like to believe that.
251
00:11:24,271 --> 00:11:25,604
I really would.
252
00:11:25,605 --> 00:11:28,023
Except Jonah Barlowe's now dead,
253
00:11:28,024 --> 00:11:29,650
and that's a video of you
254
00:11:29,651 --> 00:11:31,944
saying that you're gonna destroy him.
255
00:11:31,945 --> 00:11:34,363
I said what Jonah asked me to.
256
00:11:34,364 --> 00:11:37,074
You told us you didn't even know Jonah.
257
00:11:37,075 --> 00:11:38,325
Why'd you lie to us?
258
00:11:38,326 --> 00:11:40,578
I was with my boss, okay?
259
00:11:40,579 --> 00:11:43,372
What I do recreationally in
the privacy of my own home
260
00:11:43,373 --> 00:11:45,207
is my business and no one else's,
261
00:11:45,208 --> 00:11:46,709
including you.
262
00:11:46,710 --> 00:11:48,752
Well, when your boyfriend winds up dead,
263
00:11:48,753 --> 00:11:50,421
it actually becomes our business.
264
00:11:50,422 --> 00:11:52,715
Well, I had nothing to do
with what happened to Jonah.
265
00:11:52,716 --> 00:11:56,218
We met online in a forum
for people who are into BDSM.
266
00:11:56,219 --> 00:11:58,554
It was purely consensual and legal.
267
00:11:58,555 --> 00:12:00,222
When's the last time you saw him?
268
00:12:00,223 --> 00:12:01,682
About a month ago.
269
00:12:01,683 --> 00:12:03,225
We broke up.
270
00:12:03,226 --> 00:12:04,393
Why's that?
271
00:12:04,394 --> 00:12:05,936
He started giving me money.
272
00:12:05,937 --> 00:12:07,730
And that was a problem for you?
273
00:12:07,731 --> 00:12:09,773
I'm not a prostitute.
274
00:12:09,774 --> 00:12:12,318
We were dating. The money offended me.
275
00:12:12,319 --> 00:12:13,777
But he wanted to pay you?
276
00:12:13,848 --> 00:12:15,307
Not at first.
277
00:12:15,308 --> 00:12:17,851
But after a few weeks, he
made it all about the money.
278
00:12:17,852 --> 00:12:20,312
He wanted me to insult
him for being rich,
279
00:12:20,313 --> 00:12:21,772
call him worthless,
280
00:12:21,773 --> 00:12:23,232
begged me to take his credit card
281
00:12:23,233 --> 00:12:26,819
and buy myself things,
demand he give me gifts.
282
00:12:26,820 --> 00:12:29,321
So where were you two
days ago, around midnight?
283
00:12:29,322 --> 00:12:30,781
I got a new boyfriend.
284
00:12:30,782 --> 00:12:33,993
It was his birthday,
and we were celebrating.
285
00:12:33,994 --> 00:12:35,537
There was cake.
286
00:12:37,038 --> 00:12:39,331
Melissa James' boyfriend
confirmed their alibi.
287
00:12:39,332 --> 00:12:41,208
We sure he's not covering for her?
288
00:12:41,209 --> 00:12:44,586
He showed us a timestamped
video of the birthday party.
289
00:12:44,587 --> 00:12:47,006
Cake was used for a role
other than what you'd expect.
290
00:12:47,007 --> 00:12:49,049
So she's not the killer?
291
00:12:49,050 --> 00:12:52,386
No, but she did tip us
off to an alternate profile
292
00:12:52,387 --> 00:12:54,346
that he uses when he
was trolling the internet
293
00:12:54,347 --> 00:12:55,639
for his own personal interests.
294
00:12:55,640 --> 00:12:58,309
Yeah, and after Melissa
James dumped him,
295
00:12:58,310 --> 00:13:01,437
it looks like Barlowe
found his way to a forum
296
00:13:01,438 --> 00:13:04,273
for men looking for a
financial dominatrix.
297
00:13:04,274 --> 00:13:05,858
Excuse me?
298
00:13:05,859 --> 00:13:07,192
I hadn't heard of it, either,
but there are all these
299
00:13:07,193 --> 00:13:09,153
online discussion groups full of women
300
00:13:09,154 --> 00:13:11,280
who call themselves "findoms."
301
00:13:11,281 --> 00:13:14,158
They dominate men
through their finances.
302
00:13:14,159 --> 00:13:15,743
Dominate how?
303
00:13:15,744 --> 00:13:18,078
He hands over control
of his bank accounts
304
00:13:18,079 --> 00:13:19,830
and his credit cards to
them, and then they control
305
00:13:19,831 --> 00:13:21,665
when and how he spends his money.
306
00:13:21,666 --> 00:13:25,377
Okay, so did he actually
find one of these findoms?
307
00:13:25,378 --> 00:13:27,379
Yeah, he struck up a conversation
308
00:13:27,380 --> 00:13:30,049
with a woman who goes
by the handle MoneyMama.
309
00:13:30,050 --> 00:13:31,550
And check this out.
310
00:13:31,551 --> 00:13:33,552
I've been going over
Barlowe's financials
311
00:13:33,553 --> 00:13:35,304
the day before he was murdered.
312
00:13:35,305 --> 00:13:39,266
$25 million was transferred from
his account to a bank in Panama.
313
00:13:39,267 --> 00:13:40,559
That's a hell of a lot of money.
314
00:13:40,560 --> 00:13:43,145
- Mm-hmm.
- Do we know what he used it
315
00:13:43,146 --> 00:13:45,147
for or who's got control of it now?
316
00:13:45,148 --> 00:13:47,775
No, it's a black box as
far as we're concerned.
317
00:13:47,776 --> 00:13:49,568
The appeal of offshore banking.
318
00:13:49,569 --> 00:13:52,237
Okay, so Barlowe gives a stranger,
319
00:13:52,238 --> 00:13:54,239
who he met on the internet,
320
00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:55,908
access to all his bank accounts,
321
00:13:55,909 --> 00:13:59,078
and now $25 million just disappears?
322
00:13:59,079 --> 00:14:00,829
And his head gets bashed in.
323
00:14:00,830 --> 00:14:03,415
But we need to find this MoneyMama.
324
00:14:03,416 --> 00:14:04,708
Do we know what her real name is?
325
00:14:04,709 --> 00:14:06,585
No. But I do know,
326
00:14:06,586 --> 00:14:08,212
after going through their messages,
327
00:14:08,213 --> 00:14:10,798
that two weeks ago she demanded
Barlowe buy her a Range Rover,
328
00:14:10,799 --> 00:14:12,591
and he did.
329
00:14:12,592 --> 00:14:13,842
All right, we need to find the dealer
330
00:14:13,843 --> 00:14:15,135
where he bought the car,
331
00:14:15,136 --> 00:14:16,762
get the license, the registration,
332
00:14:16,763 --> 00:14:18,681
then put out an I-card on the vehicle.
333
00:14:18,682 --> 00:14:21,892
Because once we find the car,
we're gonna find MoneyMama.
334
00:14:29,526 --> 00:14:31,360
You Officer O'Brien?
335
00:14:31,361 --> 00:14:32,611
Yep. You the ones who called in
336
00:14:32,612 --> 00:14:33,779
the I-card on the Range Rover?
337
00:14:33,780 --> 00:14:35,114
- That's us.
- Sure thing.
338
00:14:35,115 --> 00:14:36,615
Got the car right here.
339
00:14:36,616 --> 00:14:39,118
Spotted the license plate
over on Mercer, female driver.
340
00:14:39,119 --> 00:14:40,869
- Blonde?
- Yeah.
341
00:14:40,870 --> 00:14:43,038
I followed her about six
blocks or so until she parked.
342
00:14:43,039 --> 00:14:45,582
Notice said not to
approach, so I called it in.
343
00:14:45,583 --> 00:14:46,750
- Good work.
- Thank you.
344
00:14:46,751 --> 00:14:48,085
I don't think she'll be here long.
345
00:14:48,086 --> 00:14:50,963
Car's unlocked. Cell
phone's in the cup holder.
346
00:14:50,964 --> 00:14:52,589
Yeah, she actually went in
that store right over there.
347
00:14:52,590 --> 00:14:54,300
All right. Stay here.
348
00:14:54,301 --> 00:14:55,467
Secure the vehicle and its contents,
349
00:14:55,468 --> 00:14:57,386
- especially that phone.
- Sure thing.
350
00:15:01,516 --> 00:15:03,101
Oh, there she is.
351
00:15:06,354 --> 00:15:07,522
NYPD!
352
00:15:19,606 --> 00:15:21,733
Is there a problem, officers?
353
00:15:25,771 --> 00:15:26,832
All right.
354
00:15:26,833 --> 00:15:29,335
Let's start with an easy one.
355
00:15:29,336 --> 00:15:30,961
Why'd you kill Jonah Barlowe?
356
00:15:30,962 --> 00:15:31,962
I didn't.
357
00:15:31,963 --> 00:15:33,172
I liked Jonah.
358
00:15:33,173 --> 00:15:36,550
Ms. Reese, you were his findom, correct?
359
00:15:36,551 --> 00:15:37,968
We had an arrangement, sure.
360
00:15:37,969 --> 00:15:39,345
It's not against the law.
361
00:15:39,346 --> 00:15:41,138
That means you had access
to his bank accounts.
362
00:15:41,139 --> 00:15:42,556
Yes, but...
363
00:15:42,557 --> 00:15:44,016
Did you ever move money
without his permission?
364
00:15:44,017 --> 00:15:45,684
No. We had rules.
365
00:15:45,685 --> 00:15:47,019
It was just role-playing.
366
00:15:47,020 --> 00:15:48,604
Is that right?
367
00:15:48,605 --> 00:15:51,190
So you never transferred
$25 million of his money
368
00:15:51,191 --> 00:15:52,942
into an offshore account?
369
00:15:52,943 --> 00:15:55,110
I don't know what you're talking about.
370
00:15:55,111 --> 00:15:56,654
Are you sure about that?
371
00:15:56,655 --> 00:15:58,197
'Cause we sent a subpoena
to the bank in Panama,
372
00:15:58,198 --> 00:16:00,450
and they're gonna tell us
whose name's on that account.
373
00:16:04,162 --> 00:16:06,873
How would you feel about
submitting to a DNA test?
374
00:16:08,974 --> 00:16:10,224
I want a lawyer.
375
00:16:19,248 --> 00:16:20,794
Hey. How'd the arraignment go?
376
00:16:21,224 --> 00:16:22,641
Defendant was held without bail.
377
00:16:22,642 --> 00:16:24,351
Judge agreed she's a flight risk,
378
00:16:24,352 --> 00:16:27,229
given her potential access
to the stolen 25 mil.
379
00:16:27,230 --> 00:16:28,397
Now we just need to prove
380
00:16:28,398 --> 00:16:29,565
she's the one who stole the money.
381
00:16:29,566 --> 00:16:31,859
- Yeah.
- Hey, good luck, Drew.
382
00:16:31,860 --> 00:16:33,695
Let us know where you land?
383
00:16:35,614 --> 00:16:37,698
- It's happening already?
- Yeah.
384
00:16:37,699 --> 00:16:39,784
Baxter started calling senior staff in
385
00:16:39,785 --> 00:16:41,285
for meetings this morning.
386
00:16:41,286 --> 00:16:43,329
I know it's not uncommon
for an incoming DA
387
00:16:43,330 --> 00:16:47,333
to make changes, but this
guy is not wasting any time.
388
00:16:47,334 --> 00:16:48,918
I don't think you need to worry.
389
00:16:48,919 --> 00:16:53,047
Jack assured me he left you
a glowing recommendation.
390
00:16:53,186 --> 00:16:55,229
Well, it doesn't mean the
new guy has to honor it.
391
00:16:55,425 --> 00:16:59,178
That is true, but your track
record speaks for itself.
392
00:16:59,179 --> 00:17:01,138
Yours too.
393
00:17:01,139 --> 00:17:03,057
We'll see.
394
00:17:03,058 --> 00:17:04,725
Well, it's kind of like...
I think that stripping it
395
00:17:04,726 --> 00:17:05,810
might be too much, I'm not sure.
396
00:17:05,811 --> 00:17:07,603
We're gonna to have a budget on that.
397
00:17:07,604 --> 00:17:08,687
The stripping would take a while,
398
00:17:08,688 --> 00:17:10,189
and you wouldn't be
able to work in here.
399
00:17:10,190 --> 00:17:12,441
And I don't want people in
here for the next six months.
400
00:17:12,442 --> 00:17:13,859
What we can do is lighten the blinds.
401
00:17:14,905 --> 00:17:16,594
Light is definitely better than darker.
402
00:17:16,696 --> 00:17:17,321
Yeah.
403
00:17:17,581 --> 00:17:19,039
It's a bit like the Metropolitan Club.
404
00:17:19,282 --> 00:17:20,407
All right. Good.
405
00:17:20,408 --> 00:17:21,575
Well, you'll send me some images?
406
00:17:21,576 --> 00:17:23,035
- Absolutely.
- Great.
407
00:17:23,036 --> 00:17:25,079
Thank you for coming
by. I appreciate it.
408
00:17:25,321 --> 00:17:26,831
Yeah. Okay.
409
00:17:26,832 --> 00:17:29,083
Take care. Nick Baxter.
410
00:17:29,084 --> 00:17:30,376
- Nolan Price.
- Yeah.
411
00:17:30,377 --> 00:17:32,086
Sorry it took a minute
to get some face time.
412
00:17:32,087 --> 00:17:33,546
Have a seat.
413
00:17:33,547 --> 00:17:35,674
Jack McCoy speaks highly of you.
414
00:17:40,762 --> 00:17:42,759
Uh, how... how are you settling in?
415
00:17:42,784 --> 00:17:44,618
Yeah, good. Good.
416
00:17:44,808 --> 00:17:46,892
Lots to do.
417
00:17:46,893 --> 00:17:49,645
I'll make this office
feel more contemporary.
418
00:17:50,024 --> 00:17:51,118
I suppose it's gonna take some time
419
00:17:51,143 --> 00:17:53,186
to figure out how to do that.
420
00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:55,852
Jack McCoy was an icon.
421
00:17:55,967 --> 00:17:57,718
He was here for, what, 30 years?
422
00:17:57,821 --> 00:17:59,322
Uh-huh.
423
00:18:00,751 --> 00:18:04,058
He also made a lot of
waves on his way out,
424
00:18:04,199 --> 00:18:06,659
ruffled some political feathers.
425
00:18:08,279 --> 00:18:10,906
I heard you had a bit of a disjuncture
426
00:18:10,931 --> 00:18:13,474
with the mayor yourself.
427
00:18:13,545 --> 00:18:15,505
I wouldn't call it a disjuncture.
428
00:18:16,831 --> 00:18:17,831
What would you call it?
429
00:18:17,856 --> 00:18:19,857
Difference of opinion.
430
00:18:19,882 --> 00:18:21,299
Mm-hmm.
431
00:18:21,386 --> 00:18:23,679
I respect your indifference to politics.
432
00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:25,097
We were just trying
to get the right result
433
00:18:25,098 --> 00:18:26,849
in a complicated case.
434
00:18:26,850 --> 00:18:29,393
Which is the most
important thing, always.
435
00:18:29,680 --> 00:18:31,395
But a top priority of mine is gonna be
436
00:18:31,396 --> 00:18:33,477
to get people back on the same page.
437
00:18:33,648 --> 00:18:35,399
This office is part of a system,
438
00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:36,901
and that system works most effectively
439
00:18:36,902 --> 00:18:38,719
when it works together,
440
00:18:39,046 --> 00:18:42,590
especially when it
comes to my senior staff.
441
00:18:42,866 --> 00:18:46,076
I need to know that I
have a team I can trust,
442
00:18:46,227 --> 00:18:49,414
that we look at society
through the same prism.
443
00:18:51,416 --> 00:18:53,518
Yeah. I understand.
444
00:18:53,919 --> 00:18:55,920
So fill me in.
445
00:18:55,921 --> 00:18:58,839
Where are we with the
Jonah Barlowe case?
446
00:18:58,840 --> 00:19:01,675
Defendant's name is Jessica Reese.
447
00:19:01,676 --> 00:19:04,720
She was Barlowe's financial dominatrix.
448
00:19:04,721 --> 00:19:06,305
Which I still don't quite get.
449
00:19:06,306 --> 00:19:08,224
- But the evidence is strong?
- Yeah.
450
00:19:08,225 --> 00:19:10,351
Location data, DNA,
451
00:19:10,352 --> 00:19:11,852
plus Barlowe and the defendant
452
00:19:11,853 --> 00:19:14,313
had moved their
communications to WhatsApp.
453
00:19:14,314 --> 00:19:16,440
The texts are encrypted
or only accessible
454
00:19:16,441 --> 00:19:18,275
if you have one of their devices.
455
00:19:18,276 --> 00:19:19,777
Police recovered her phone,
456
00:19:19,778 --> 00:19:22,655
giving us messages that
establish she stole $25 million
457
00:19:22,656 --> 00:19:25,407
from Barlowe's account
and that he was planning
458
00:19:25,408 --> 00:19:27,868
to file a police report.
459
00:19:27,869 --> 00:19:30,579
Which is the motive for killing Barlowe?
460
00:19:30,580 --> 00:19:32,123
And we're sure these texts weren't part
461
00:19:32,124 --> 00:19:34,960
of their whole financial
domination role-play thing?
462
00:19:36,503 --> 00:19:39,130
"25 million. Are you insane?
463
00:19:39,131 --> 00:19:42,091
This is not a game anymore.
You stole that money.
464
00:19:42,092 --> 00:19:43,342
I'm going to the police."
465
00:19:43,343 --> 00:19:44,969
Defendant responded shortly thereafter,
466
00:19:44,970 --> 00:19:47,429
said she was on her way
over to talk about it.
467
00:19:47,430 --> 00:19:50,475
45 minutes later, Barlowe was dead.
468
00:19:54,229 --> 00:19:56,856
This is my first at-bat, Nolan.
469
00:19:56,857 --> 00:19:58,941
I need to make sure I get on base.
470
00:19:58,942 --> 00:20:01,277
Yeah. I understand.
471
00:20:07,701 --> 00:20:08,994
I look forward to working together.
472
00:20:23,592 --> 00:20:25,551
- How did it go?
- Unclear.
473
00:20:25,552 --> 00:20:28,053
- What's that mean?
- I don't know.
474
00:20:28,054 --> 00:20:29,597
It's hard to explain.
475
00:20:29,598 --> 00:20:31,390
But he didn't fire you?
476
00:20:31,391 --> 00:20:33,142
Not yet anyway.
477
00:20:33,143 --> 00:20:37,146
Let's just focus on the case,
control what we can control.
478
00:20:37,147 --> 00:20:39,982
Yeah, well, I have
bad news on that front.
479
00:20:39,983 --> 00:20:42,276
Defense filed a motion
to suppress the evidence
480
00:20:42,277 --> 00:20:44,320
acquired from Jessica Reese's phone.
481
00:20:51,161 --> 00:20:54,371
Cell records show a call was
answered on my client's phone
482
00:20:54,372 --> 00:20:56,123
while it was in police custody,
483
00:20:56,124 --> 00:20:58,542
but prior to a search
warrant being granted.
484
00:20:58,543 --> 00:21:00,711
Your Honor, when detectives approached
485
00:21:00,712 --> 00:21:03,589
the defendant to question
her, she ran from them.
486
00:21:03,590 --> 00:21:06,675
Before pursuing her, they
assigned a patrol officer
487
00:21:06,676 --> 00:21:08,677
to secure her car and her belongings
488
00:21:08,678 --> 00:21:09,887
until a search warrant
could be obtained.
489
00:21:09,888 --> 00:21:11,847
A warrant he obviously didn't wait for.
490
00:21:11,848 --> 00:21:14,350
And while the phone
was in his possession,
491
00:21:14,351 --> 00:21:15,351
it started ringing.
492
00:21:15,352 --> 00:21:18,521
He tried to silence it and
accidentally hit the wrong button.
493
00:21:18,522 --> 00:21:20,564
If you look at the phone's logs,
494
00:21:20,565 --> 00:21:23,192
you can see that the call in question
495
00:21:23,193 --> 00:21:24,527
lasted for only three seconds.
496
00:21:24,528 --> 00:21:25,736
It doesn't matter.
497
00:21:25,737 --> 00:21:27,154
The settings on Jessica Reese's phone
498
00:21:27,155 --> 00:21:29,949
are such that answering it unlocks it,
499
00:21:29,950 --> 00:21:32,201
giving police access to its content.
500
00:21:32,202 --> 00:21:34,495
We have no way of knowing
what the officer saw
501
00:21:34,496 --> 00:21:35,996
or how long he was looking through it.
502
00:21:35,997 --> 00:21:39,166
I have a sworn affidavit
from Officer O'Brien
503
00:21:39,167 --> 00:21:41,335
attesting to the fact
that he never looked
504
00:21:41,336 --> 00:21:42,419
at the contents of the phone.
505
00:21:42,420 --> 00:21:43,587
Oh, well, as long as he attests,
506
00:21:43,588 --> 00:21:45,297
there's nothing to worry about.
507
00:21:45,298 --> 00:21:49,301
Your Honor, police can't
open a suspect's locker
508
00:21:49,302 --> 00:21:52,221
or desk drawers and
then get a search warrant
509
00:21:52,222 --> 00:21:54,056
for whatever's inside after the fact.
510
00:21:54,057 --> 00:21:56,725
And the Supreme Court
ruled in Riley v California
511
00:21:56,726 --> 00:21:58,644
that the content of digital devices
512
00:21:58,645 --> 00:22:00,479
is protected by the Fourth Amendment,
513
00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:04,733
making all evidence stemming from
Jessica Reese's phone inadmissible.
514
00:22:04,734 --> 00:22:06,652
Your Honor, we're
talking about excluding
515
00:22:06,653 --> 00:22:09,196
the most vital piece
of evidence in this case
516
00:22:09,197 --> 00:22:12,992
because of a harmless
three-second mistake.
517
00:22:15,787 --> 00:22:18,747
Harmless or not, it was a mistake.
518
00:22:18,748 --> 00:22:20,709
The defense's motion is granted.
519
00:22:24,943 --> 00:22:25,943
Hey.
520
00:22:26,152 --> 00:22:28,119
Just got off with the bank in Panama
521
00:22:28,144 --> 00:22:30,306
where Reese wired the money.
522
00:22:30,331 --> 00:22:32,741
They're refusing to honor our subpoena.
523
00:22:33,542 --> 00:22:36,544
So there's no way to tie
Reese to the stolen money.
524
00:22:36,545 --> 00:22:39,245
Which means we have
no way to prove motive.
525
00:22:39,671 --> 00:22:41,005
So what's your plan?
526
00:22:45,386 --> 00:22:48,930
Oh, we go hard on opportunity,
527
00:22:49,057 --> 00:22:52,676
make it clear to the jury
that Reese is the only person
528
00:22:52,677 --> 00:22:55,272
who realistically could have
killed Barlowe that night.
529
00:23:02,779 --> 00:23:04,281
Your call.
530
00:23:12,961 --> 00:23:15,587
Detective Riley,
according to the crime lab,
531
00:23:15,612 --> 00:23:18,906
the defendant's DNA
matches the blonde hair
532
00:23:18,931 --> 00:23:20,766
found on Jonah Barlowe's body?
533
00:23:20,923 --> 00:23:21,842
That's correct.
534
00:23:21,867 --> 00:23:23,743
What about the defendant's
cell phone data?
535
00:23:23,768 --> 00:23:26,144
Were You able to
triangulate her location
536
00:23:26,169 --> 00:23:29,004
around midnight when
Jonah Barlowe was killed?
537
00:23:29,264 --> 00:23:31,598
Yes, her cell phone pings placed her
538
00:23:31,599 --> 00:23:34,936
in the immediate vicinity
of the apartment at the time.
539
00:23:34,937 --> 00:23:35,978
Thank you.
540
00:23:35,979 --> 00:23:37,189
No further questions.
541
00:23:38,260 --> 00:23:40,053
Detective, is there any way
542
00:23:40,078 --> 00:23:43,247
for you to ascertain
when my client's hair
543
00:23:43,272 --> 00:23:45,523
got on Jonah Barlowe's sleeve?
544
00:23:46,031 --> 00:23:47,148
No.
545
00:23:47,173 --> 00:23:49,841
Presumably that day, since
it was on his clothing.
546
00:23:50,160 --> 00:23:52,343
Perhaps it was on his couch
547
00:23:52,491 --> 00:23:54,617
or when she was in his
apartment days earlier
548
00:23:54,642 --> 00:23:58,812
and transferred onto his sleeve
at some point that evening.
549
00:23:59,163 --> 00:24:00,711
That's just as possible?
550
00:24:00,866 --> 00:24:02,672
I don't know if it's just as possible,
551
00:24:03,288 --> 00:24:04,781
but it's possible, yes.
552
00:24:04,806 --> 00:24:07,933
And these cell phone
pings, as you call them,
553
00:24:08,220 --> 00:24:11,097
how geographically accurate are they?
554
00:24:11,098 --> 00:24:13,429
In a range of about ten city blocks.
555
00:24:13,702 --> 00:24:16,829
So if Ms. Reese was getting takeout
556
00:24:16,854 --> 00:24:19,188
from her favorite Thai
restaurant that night,
557
00:24:19,213 --> 00:24:22,424
eight blocks from Jonah
Barlowe's apartment,
558
00:24:22,651 --> 00:24:25,319
that could account for
the data you testified to.
559
00:24:26,709 --> 00:24:28,335
Midnight's a little late for dinner.
560
00:24:28,657 --> 00:24:32,243
Detective, were you aware
that prior to his relationship
561
00:24:32,244 --> 00:24:34,829
with my client, Jonah
Barlowe had been seeing
562
00:24:34,830 --> 00:24:36,497
a woman named Melissa James?
563
00:24:36,741 --> 00:24:37,491
Yes.
564
00:24:37,516 --> 00:24:39,893
And are you aware
that, unlike my client,
565
00:24:39,918 --> 00:24:43,087
Melissa James had a
sadomasochistic relationship
566
00:24:43,210 --> 00:24:45,086
with Jonah Barlowe
567
00:24:45,111 --> 00:24:47,906
that involved torture
and physical abuse?
568
00:24:47,960 --> 00:24:50,501
Ms. James was transparent and forthright
569
00:24:50,526 --> 00:24:52,151
about the nature of their relationship.
570
00:24:52,176 --> 00:24:54,928
So she admitted to being his dominatrix,
571
00:24:54,953 --> 00:24:56,370
the torturing and the battering?
572
00:24:56,395 --> 00:24:57,812
We only discussed their sex life
573
00:24:57,837 --> 00:24:59,213
as it pertains to the case.
574
00:24:59,238 --> 00:25:01,364
And more importantly,
we confirmed her alibi.
575
00:25:01,389 --> 00:25:04,141
Ms. James did not kill Mr. Barlowe.
576
00:25:04,193 --> 00:25:07,111
But it's clear Mr. Barlowe liked
577
00:25:07,112 --> 00:25:09,989
to engage in risky sexual behavior
578
00:25:10,109 --> 00:25:11,699
with strangers he met online.
579
00:25:11,976 --> 00:25:12,992
Objection.
580
00:25:13,160 --> 00:25:16,829
Ask a question, Mr. Banks, or sit down.
581
00:25:17,002 --> 00:25:18,211
Nothing further, Your Honor.
582
00:25:25,130 --> 00:25:26,756
This is ridiculous.
583
00:25:26,757 --> 00:25:28,883
They're turning Jonah
into some sort of freak.
584
00:25:28,884 --> 00:25:30,259
He's the victim here.
585
00:25:30,260 --> 00:25:31,511
I understand.
586
00:25:31,512 --> 00:25:34,722
We are doing the best we can.
587
00:25:34,723 --> 00:25:36,098
He wasn't perfect,
588
00:25:36,099 --> 00:25:38,351
but he was a good
man, a really good man.
589
00:25:38,352 --> 00:25:40,937
And that monster in there,
590
00:25:40,938 --> 00:25:44,065
she exploited his kindness
and his insecurities.
591
00:25:44,066 --> 00:25:47,401
Like Nolan just said, we
are doing the best we can
592
00:25:47,402 --> 00:25:49,112
to get justice for Jonah.
593
00:25:50,781 --> 00:25:52,324
Thank you.
594
00:25:54,743 --> 00:25:56,494
She's right, you know.
595
00:25:56,495 --> 00:25:59,080
Reese saw that Barlowe was vulnerable
596
00:25:59,081 --> 00:26:00,790
and spun him upside down.
597
00:26:00,791 --> 00:26:02,458
It's obviously her MO...
598
00:26:02,459 --> 00:26:05,127
find vulnerable men, get
access to their money,
599
00:26:05,128 --> 00:26:08,464
- and then steal it.
- Mm-hmm. Yeah.
600
00:26:08,465 --> 00:26:11,592
So let's find these guys,
601
00:26:11,593 --> 00:26:15,429
the other vulnerable
dupes she exploited.
602
00:26:15,430 --> 00:26:17,931
We can establish a pattern of behavior
603
00:26:17,932 --> 00:26:20,434
which will give us motive.
604
00:26:20,435 --> 00:26:22,896
I'm gonna look into Reese's financials.
605
00:26:26,650 --> 00:26:29,110
I'm not sure how I can help you.
606
00:26:29,111 --> 00:26:30,820
Um, Mr. Parker,
607
00:26:30,821 --> 00:26:37,326
from November of 2022
to June of last year,
608
00:26:37,327 --> 00:26:40,037
you were depositing
several thousand dollars
609
00:26:40,038 --> 00:26:44,083
into Jessica Reese's bank
account on a monthly basis.
610
00:26:44,084 --> 00:26:45,501
Yeah, she was...
611
00:26:45,502 --> 00:26:47,170
she did some consulting work for me.
612
00:26:47,171 --> 00:26:49,172
In what capacity?
613
00:26:49,173 --> 00:26:51,174
I'm sorry. What is this about?
614
00:26:51,175 --> 00:26:54,385
We've noticed that
your last payment to her
615
00:26:54,386 --> 00:26:56,762
was a significantly larger sum,
616
00:26:56,763 --> 00:26:59,265
and you never sent her
money again after that.
617
00:26:59,266 --> 00:27:01,100
Right, well, the project
618
00:27:01,101 --> 00:27:03,811
that she was helping me with
ended earlier than I expected,
619
00:27:03,812 --> 00:27:07,398
so I paid her out for
the rest of her contract.
620
00:27:07,399 --> 00:27:10,319
Would it be possible for
me to look at that contract?
621
00:27:13,655 --> 00:27:15,990
What do you want from me?
622
00:27:15,991 --> 00:27:17,074
Mr. Parker...
623
00:27:17,075 --> 00:27:18,535
Derek...
624
00:27:21,413 --> 00:27:24,499
Did Jessica Reese steal from you?
625
00:27:35,594 --> 00:27:37,678
I said
626
00:27:37,679 --> 00:27:41,599
and did things with her that...
627
00:27:41,600 --> 00:27:44,644
you know.
628
00:27:44,645 --> 00:27:46,896
And then she showed me
all these screen grabs
629
00:27:46,897 --> 00:27:49,774
she had taken of our text messages.
630
00:27:49,775 --> 00:27:52,693
She told me that if I
didn't give her $50,000,
631
00:27:52,694 --> 00:27:56,280
she would send them to everyone
I'm friends with on social media.
632
00:27:56,281 --> 00:27:58,491
My mother is on Facebook.
633
00:27:58,492 --> 00:28:00,494
I didn't have a choice.
634
00:28:02,704 --> 00:28:04,539
I don't expect you to understand.
635
00:28:04,540 --> 00:28:08,709
I don't even know if I understand.
636
00:28:08,710 --> 00:28:11,295
But I've always been
worried about money.
637
00:28:11,296 --> 00:28:14,465
It rules my life.
638
00:28:14,466 --> 00:28:19,428
It felt good to give up control
639
00:28:19,429 --> 00:28:21,557
for a minute, anyway.
640
00:28:23,433 --> 00:28:26,018
We need you to testify.
641
00:28:26,019 --> 00:28:28,145
No. No. No, no, I can't.
642
00:28:28,146 --> 00:28:29,605
Then everyone will know that...
643
00:28:29,606 --> 00:28:32,775
She killed someone, Derek.
644
00:28:39,408 --> 00:28:44,412
So get up on that stand,
645
00:28:44,413 --> 00:28:46,455
take your power back.
646
00:28:53,505 --> 00:28:55,173
"How do you think your female coworkers
647
00:28:55,174 --> 00:28:58,009
are gonna feel when they see
the filthy things you like?
648
00:28:58,010 --> 00:29:00,511
I'm in charge, and you're
gonna do what I say.
649
00:29:00,512 --> 00:29:03,931
Pay me, or I will ruin your life."
650
00:29:03,932 --> 00:29:06,184
And in response to these messages,
651
00:29:06,185 --> 00:29:09,937
did you pay the defendant
the $50,000 that she demanded?
652
00:29:09,938 --> 00:29:12,064
Yes.
653
00:29:12,065 --> 00:29:15,526
She was ruthless, cruel.
654
00:29:15,527 --> 00:29:17,820
I should have reported
her to the police.
655
00:29:17,821 --> 00:29:19,947
Given what we now know about
how she would have responded,
656
00:29:19,948 --> 00:29:20,990
I'm glad you didn't.
657
00:29:20,991 --> 00:29:24,577
- Objection, Your Honor.
- Withdrawn.
658
00:29:24,578 --> 00:29:26,787
No further questions.
659
00:29:26,788 --> 00:29:30,458
We have no questions for
this witness at this time.
660
00:29:30,459 --> 00:29:32,919
Witness is excused.
661
00:29:32,920 --> 00:29:34,921
I'm going to adjourn
the court for lunch.
662
00:29:34,922 --> 00:29:36,506
We'll resume at 2:15 p.m.
663
00:29:42,054 --> 00:29:46,140
We'd like to, uh, discuss a deal.
664
00:29:46,141 --> 00:29:47,350
I'm sure you would.
665
00:29:47,351 --> 00:29:48,976
But, uh, unless it
involves pleading guilty
666
00:29:48,977 --> 00:29:51,145
to second-degree
murder, there's no point.
667
00:29:51,146 --> 00:29:54,857
My client is in possession of
some valuable information...
668
00:29:54,858 --> 00:29:56,067
very valuable.
669
00:29:56,068 --> 00:29:57,443
What the hell are you talking about?
670
00:29:57,444 --> 00:29:59,695
One of the biggest actors in the world
671
00:29:59,696 --> 00:30:02,139
told her he brutally raped
672
00:30:02,180 --> 00:30:03,640
at least ten women.
673
00:30:05,150 --> 00:30:07,651
And she has proof.
674
00:30:23,350 --> 00:30:25,318
Evan Connelly, the actor,
675
00:30:25,668 --> 00:30:27,412
confessed to raping ten women?
676
00:30:27,437 --> 00:30:28,645
At least ten.
677
00:30:28,670 --> 00:30:30,296
According to Jessica Reese, anyway.
678
00:30:30,464 --> 00:30:32,423
I don't understand. Why
would he confess to her?
679
00:30:32,424 --> 00:30:36,970
Well, they apparently connected
on some online forum for BDSM.
680
00:30:36,971 --> 00:30:40,515
They eventually hooked up, and, um,
681
00:30:40,516 --> 00:30:45,603
well, Reese claims that
Connelly likes to be punished.
682
00:30:45,604 --> 00:30:48,064
As part of their role-play,
Connelly confessed
683
00:30:48,065 --> 00:30:51,192
to all kinds of shocking
and horrific things.
684
00:30:51,193 --> 00:30:54,237
Connelly got off on
graphically describing
685
00:30:54,238 --> 00:30:57,574
how he raped and tortured these women.
686
00:30:57,575 --> 00:30:58,866
Can she prove any of this?
687
00:30:58,867 --> 00:30:59,951
Is there any corroborating evidence?
688
00:30:59,952 --> 00:31:01,494
Do we have names?
689
00:31:01,495 --> 00:31:04,080
Right now, all she says
she has are videos of their,
690
00:31:04,081 --> 00:31:05,999
uh, encounters and some incriminating
691
00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:07,584
text messages from Connelly.
692
00:31:07,585 --> 00:31:10,169
So why haven't any of
these women come forward?
693
00:31:10,170 --> 00:31:11,588
He's a powerful guy.
694
00:31:11,589 --> 00:31:14,549
I mean, he makes $20 million a movie.
695
00:31:14,550 --> 00:31:17,135
Intimidation, money...
it's all at his disposal.
696
00:31:17,136 --> 00:31:20,138
Still, no lawsuits?
697
00:31:20,139 --> 00:31:21,639
No "Vanity Fair" articles?
698
00:31:21,640 --> 00:31:24,601
Well, there have been rumors
swirling on social media
699
00:31:24,602 --> 00:31:26,728
ever since he made it big.
700
00:31:26,729 --> 00:31:29,397
And if we've learned anything
in the last few years,
701
00:31:29,398 --> 00:31:31,483
where there's smoke, there's fire.
702
00:31:34,111 --> 00:31:35,612
So let's pursue it.
703
00:31:35,613 --> 00:31:38,239
See if there's anything
more than just smoke.
704
00:31:38,240 --> 00:31:39,866
If there is, make her a deal.
705
00:31:39,867 --> 00:31:42,410
Man One, ten years.
706
00:31:42,411 --> 00:31:44,203
Ten years?
707
00:31:44,204 --> 00:31:46,039
If you can get more, great.
708
00:31:46,040 --> 00:31:47,582
But ten years seems fair to me.
709
00:31:47,583 --> 00:31:49,000
Fair?
710
00:31:49,001 --> 00:31:51,252
She murdered an innocent
man in cold blood.
711
00:31:53,422 --> 00:31:55,048
If Reese is telling the truth
712
00:31:55,049 --> 00:31:57,508
and Connelly really has raped ten women,
713
00:31:57,509 --> 00:31:59,886
he's a far bigger
threat to public safety.
714
00:32:13,943 --> 00:32:16,069
You know what I think?
715
00:32:16,070 --> 00:32:18,821
Jonah Barlowe deserves better.
716
00:32:18,822 --> 00:32:22,575
Yeah, but if Reese is
telling the truth, then...
717
00:32:22,576 --> 00:32:25,078
Well, exactly. "If."
718
00:32:25,079 --> 00:32:26,496
She's a con artist.
719
00:32:26,497 --> 00:32:29,791
What are the odds she's not hustling us?
720
00:32:29,792 --> 00:32:33,294
But Baxter wants headlines.
721
00:32:33,295 --> 00:32:34,587
No.
722
00:32:34,588 --> 00:32:37,465
He was appointed DA.
723
00:32:37,466 --> 00:32:39,092
It means he's got an election to win.
724
00:32:39,093 --> 00:32:41,052
I mean, he said it himself.
725
00:32:41,053 --> 00:32:44,430
One of his top priorities is
mending fences with the mayor.
726
00:32:44,431 --> 00:32:47,058
Translation, "I'm gonna kiss his ass,
727
00:32:47,059 --> 00:32:48,643
hope like hell he
supports my candidacy."
728
00:32:48,644 --> 00:32:50,728
No, I... I understand
what you're saying,
729
00:32:50,729 --> 00:32:53,231
but it doesn't mean
that Baxter is wrong.
730
00:32:53,232 --> 00:32:55,275
I think taking down a serial rapist...
731
00:32:55,276 --> 00:32:57,610
a violent serial
rapist... is a good thing,
732
00:32:57,611 --> 00:32:59,445
something the DA should be trying to do.
733
00:32:59,446 --> 00:33:04,742
But nothing trumps murder, Sam,
734
00:33:04,743 --> 00:33:05,928
nothing.
735
00:33:07,329 --> 00:33:10,123
That was one of McCoy's favorite lines.
736
00:33:13,794 --> 00:33:16,713
But we have a new boss now.
737
00:33:16,714 --> 00:33:18,298
He wants to do things his way.
738
00:33:18,299 --> 00:33:20,551
I can't blame him for that.
739
00:33:24,888 --> 00:33:26,514
Tell me what you did.
740
00:33:26,515 --> 00:33:28,391
When I was done raping her,
741
00:33:28,392 --> 00:33:30,101
I made her bleed with a knife.
742
00:33:34,940 --> 00:33:36,524
What else?
743
00:33:36,525 --> 00:33:38,634
I made the cuts where people won't see
744
00:33:38,635 --> 00:33:39,777
when she's wearing clothes.
745
00:33:39,778 --> 00:33:41,363
Oh!
746
00:33:43,282 --> 00:33:44,908
And I've done so much
worse to the others.
747
00:33:44,909 --> 00:33:46,326
That's enough.
748
00:33:46,327 --> 00:33:47,661
- Yeah?
- I've lost co...
749
00:33:52,207 --> 00:33:55,043
The things he describes
doing in these messages...
750
00:33:55,044 --> 00:33:57,670
He is a very sick man.
751
00:33:57,671 --> 00:34:01,341
And my client will hand him
to you on a silver platter
752
00:34:01,342 --> 00:34:06,346
if you reduce the charges to
negligent homicide, four years.
753
00:34:06,347 --> 00:34:08,223
Man One, 12 years.
754
00:34:10,517 --> 00:34:11,851
No.
755
00:34:11,852 --> 00:34:13,228
Not even close.
756
00:34:16,732 --> 00:34:18,274
Best I can do is 10.
757
00:34:27,534 --> 00:34:29,619
Okay.
758
00:34:29,620 --> 00:34:30,954
We have a deal.
759
00:34:30,955 --> 00:34:34,540
If we can verify what
your client is alleging.
760
00:34:34,541 --> 00:34:36,167
What are you talking
about? You saw the video.
761
00:34:36,168 --> 00:34:38,419
I did. It's meaningless.
762
00:34:38,420 --> 00:34:41,172
It is a confession without
evidence of a crime.
763
00:34:41,173 --> 00:34:43,883
We need to talk to
these alleged victims,
764
00:34:43,884 --> 00:34:45,677
confirm they are real,
765
00:34:45,678 --> 00:34:48,263
confirm that what Connelly
is saying really happened.
766
00:34:56,730 --> 00:34:58,398
We need a continuance, Your Honor.
767
00:34:58,399 --> 00:35:00,400
I've already given you
48 hours, Mr. Price.
768
00:35:00,401 --> 00:35:01,818
What's the holdup?
769
00:35:01,819 --> 00:35:04,445
We're attempting to assess
the veracity of materials
770
00:35:04,446 --> 00:35:05,697
proffered by the defense,
771
00:35:05,698 --> 00:35:06,781
but the suspect is out of the country.
772
00:35:06,782 --> 00:35:08,283
He's filming a movie.
773
00:35:08,284 --> 00:35:09,576
We've been unable to reach him.
774
00:35:09,577 --> 00:35:11,452
And detectives are trying to track down
775
00:35:11,453 --> 00:35:15,248
the alleged victims, but the
identifying details provided are vague.
776
00:35:15,249 --> 00:35:17,376
It's gonna take time.
777
00:35:18,877 --> 00:35:21,505
Our client is ready to
make the deal, Your Honor.
778
00:35:23,966 --> 00:35:25,633
Time's up, Mr. Price.
779
00:35:25,634 --> 00:35:28,512
Make the deal, or
continue with this trial.
780
00:35:31,724 --> 00:35:32,890
I... I understand,
781
00:35:32,891 --> 00:35:35,184
but I need to make a quick phone call.
782
00:35:42,151 --> 00:35:43,443
Any luck?
783
00:35:43,444 --> 00:35:45,236
Well, Baxter finally texted me back,
784
00:35:45,237 --> 00:35:47,280
says he will call me later today.
785
00:35:47,281 --> 00:35:48,615
Did you explain the situation?
786
00:35:48,616 --> 00:35:50,408
Of course. I sent him about ten texts.
787
00:35:50,409 --> 00:35:52,368
I told him that the
judge is pressuring us
788
00:35:52,369 --> 00:35:53,828
to make a decision,
but we haven't been able
789
00:35:53,829 --> 00:35:55,455
to verify the evidence.
790
00:35:55,456 --> 00:35:57,081
This isn't an accident, though.
791
00:35:57,082 --> 00:36:00,168
He is trying to avoid me,
in case I make a wrong move,
792
00:36:00,169 --> 00:36:02,295
so that he can claim ignorance...
793
00:36:02,296 --> 00:36:04,005
plausible deniability.
794
00:36:04,006 --> 00:36:06,257
- Come on, Nolan.
- Look.
795
00:36:06,258 --> 00:36:07,717
If we agree to the deal
796
00:36:07,718 --> 00:36:09,969
and Reese's info turns out to be fake,
797
00:36:09,970 --> 00:36:12,096
we are screwed.
798
00:36:12,097 --> 00:36:14,432
The deal stands, we
will have no recourse,
799
00:36:14,433 --> 00:36:16,434
and we'll get crucified
800
00:36:16,435 --> 00:36:18,645
for cutting a sweetheart
deal with a murderer.
801
00:36:18,646 --> 00:36:21,105
If we don't agree to it,
we legally can't follow up
802
00:36:21,106 --> 00:36:22,732
on anything she shared with us.
803
00:36:22,733 --> 00:36:25,109
We won't be able to investigate
Evan Connelly, and Baxter's...
804
00:36:25,110 --> 00:36:27,820
We don't have a choice, Sam.
805
00:36:27,821 --> 00:36:29,615
Nolan, please.
806
00:36:32,201 --> 00:36:34,827
Baxter wants to pursue Evan Connelly.
807
00:36:34,828 --> 00:36:36,454
He told us that.
808
00:36:36,455 --> 00:36:38,539
You can't just ignore him.
809
00:36:38,540 --> 00:36:42,835
There's no way I'm letting
Jessica Reese play me for a fool.
810
00:36:51,069 --> 00:36:54,989
This case all comes down to one thing...
811
00:36:55,099 --> 00:36:57,225
control.
812
00:36:57,226 --> 00:37:01,062
Jonah Barlowe ceded it to the defendant
813
00:37:01,063 --> 00:37:03,564
in an act of intimacy,
814
00:37:03,565 --> 00:37:06,526
trusting her with access
to his bank account
815
00:37:06,527 --> 00:37:12,031
in an attempt to satisfy a
private desire within himself.
816
00:37:12,032 --> 00:37:15,868
And whether or not you
can understand that desire,
817
00:37:15,869 --> 00:37:18,871
what is unquestionably
clear is that the defendant
818
00:37:18,872 --> 00:37:21,040
took advantage of it
819
00:37:21,041 --> 00:37:23,585
and stole $25 million from him.
820
00:37:23,586 --> 00:37:28,006
And when he demanded
she returned the money,
821
00:37:28,007 --> 00:37:32,093
she then tried to
control him using shame.
822
00:37:32,094 --> 00:37:34,637
She threatened to out the
details of his personal life.
823
00:37:34,638 --> 00:37:38,141
She did the same to one of her
other clients, Derek Parker.
824
00:37:38,142 --> 00:37:42,478
But Jonah Barlowe refused to submit.
825
00:37:42,479 --> 00:37:45,398
And the defendant,
in a desperate attempt
826
00:37:45,399 --> 00:37:47,859
to reclaim control of the situation,
827
00:37:47,860 --> 00:37:51,738
violently attacked and murdered him.
828
00:37:51,739 --> 00:37:57,368
And now, ladies and gentlemen...
829
00:37:57,369 --> 00:38:00,580
it's up to you.
830
00:38:00,581 --> 00:38:04,918
This case is now in your control.
831
00:38:27,942 --> 00:38:30,652
Madam Foreperson, has the
jury reached a verdict?
832
00:38:30,653 --> 00:38:32,695
We have, Your Honor.
833
00:38:32,696 --> 00:38:35,573
On the charge of murder
in the second degree,
834
00:38:35,574 --> 00:38:40,119
we find the defendant
Jessica Reese guilty.
835
00:38:55,302 --> 00:38:56,844
Thank you.
836
00:39:14,363 --> 00:39:16,948
I've been trying to contact you.
837
00:39:16,949 --> 00:39:18,409
Congrats on the win.
838
00:39:20,160 --> 00:39:22,912
I called you several times.
839
00:39:22,913 --> 00:39:25,373
I know.
840
00:39:25,374 --> 00:39:27,959
And I apologize for being unavailable,
841
00:39:27,960 --> 00:39:29,586
but it sounds like you
did what you thought
842
00:39:29,587 --> 00:39:32,130
made the most sense
given the circumstances.
843
00:39:32,131 --> 00:39:33,465
I did.
844
00:39:35,467 --> 00:39:38,011
Then that's all that matters.
845
00:39:38,012 --> 00:39:39,680
I suppose.
846
00:39:46,687 --> 00:39:49,259
We don't know each other,
847
00:39:49,471 --> 00:39:55,309
but you should know that I
take this job very seriously.
848
00:39:55,529 --> 00:39:58,814
And I feel the weight
each and every trial,
849
00:39:58,839 --> 00:40:01,215
and I try my hardest
850
00:40:01,240 --> 00:40:03,950
to do what is in the best
interests of the victim.
851
00:40:04,204 --> 00:40:05,539
Always.
852
00:40:12,630 --> 00:40:14,965
But if that isn't good enough...
853
00:40:19,929 --> 00:40:22,722
Are you tendering your resignation?
854
00:40:22,723 --> 00:40:25,601
I'm just telling you who I am.
855
00:40:29,229 --> 00:40:31,356
I'll see you tomorrow, Nolan.62667
