(male narrator)In the criminaljustice system,
2
00:00:25,191 --> 00:00:26,351
the people are represented
3
00:00:26,426 --> 00:00:28,894
by two separateyet equally important groups:
4
00:00:28,962 --> 00:00:30,862
The policewho investigate crime,
5
00:00:30,930 --> 00:00:33,660
and the district attorneyswho prosecute the offenders.
6
00:00:33,733 --> 00:00:35,223
These are their stories.
7
00:00:36,136 --> 00:00:38,434
(Jennifer)
Man, that toilet didn't even have a guest list.
8
00:00:38,505 --> 00:00:40,234
(Paula)
Well, those other people got in.
9
00:00:40,306 --> 00:00:42,570
Yeah, you come in a limo,
you get in.
10
00:00:42,642 --> 00:00:45,076
So, uh,
we try the Milk Bar.
11
00:00:45,145 --> 00:00:47,238
I think
I did the doorman.
12
00:00:47,313 --> 00:00:48,940
Well,
that's who he said he was.
13
00:00:49,015 --> 00:00:51,108

(Bailey)
Whoever did it was in a hurry.
17
00:01:01,094 --> 00:01:04,154
Left his wallet.
Name's Nicolas lliescu.
18
00:01:04,230 --> 00:01:06,061
[Police siren wailing]
Lives on 28th St.
19
00:01:06,132 --> 00:01:08,123
What'd they kill him with,
a cheese grater?
20
00:01:08,201 --> 00:01:10,829
Dragged on the pavement.
High speed.
21
00:01:11,071 --> 00:01:12,333
(Logan)
Hit and run?
22
00:01:12,405 --> 00:01:13,838
Hit someone accidentally,
23
00:01:13,907 --> 00:01:16,102
you don't need to
shoot them twice in the head.
24
00:01:16,176 --> 00:01:18,269
[Police radio chattering]
We got some witnesses?
25
00:01:18,344 --> 00:01:20,107
[Cars honking]
Yeah.
26
00:01:26,619 --> 00:01:28,814
You girls see
what happened?
27
00:01:29,322 --> 00:01:30,687
This car
just came out of nowhere
28
00:01:30,757 --> 00:01:32,384
with this guy
draggir alongside.
29
00:01:32,459 --> 00:01:33,790
Came from where?
30
00:01:33,860 --> 00:01:35,691
There.
Wrong way up 13th.
31
00:01:35,762 --> 00:01:37,627
It tore down here
and kept going.
32
00:01:37,730 --> 00:01:40,392
Did you get a look
at who was driving?
33
00:01:40,733 --> 00:01:42,860
White? Black?
Male? Female?
34
00:01:42,969 --> 00:01:44,129
No.
35
00:01:44,204 --> 00:01:45,899
How about the car?
36
00:01:46,172 --> 00:01:49,767
I don't know cars.
I mean, it wasrt real new.
37
00:01:50,076 --> 00:01:51,771
Was it a two-door
or a four-door?
38
00:01:51,845 --> 00:01:53,335
Light? Dark?
39
00:01:53,546 --> 00:01:54,604
Don't know.
40
00:01:54,681 --> 00:01:56,114
I'm gonna give you
my card.
41
00:01:56,182 --> 00:01:59,674
If you remember anything,
I want you to call me, okay?
42
00:02:00,019 --> 00:02:01,111
What do you got?
43
00:02:01,187 --> 00:02:02,211
Nada.
44
00:02:02,322 --> 00:02:03,482
Could be the mob.
45
00:02:03,556 --> 00:02:04,853
Could be a carjacking.
46
00:02:04,924 --> 00:02:07,688
Could be a hack
who didn't like his tip.
47
00:03:30,510 --> 00:03:31,568
[Phone ringing]
48
00:03:31,644 --> 00:03:34,169

"A 9-millimeter slug found at

51
00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:43,452
Lands and grooves
make it a Beretta.92.
52
00:03:43,523 --> 00:03:45,616
Any ballistics match
on the computer?
53
00:03:45,692 --> 00:03:48,593
So with hot water and a shoe,
we could make soup.
54
00:03:48,728 --> 00:03:51,754
Okay. D.M.V. Shows
our Mr. Iliescu owned
55
00:03:51,831 --> 00:03:54,698
an '88 Pontiac Bonneville,

56
00:03:55,702 --> 00:03:57,727
It's hardly a color
won'th dying for.
57
00:03:57,804 --> 00:04:00,204
The wife is due at the morgue
in 15 minutes.
58
00:04:00,273 --> 00:04:02,332
Let's see what she knows.
59
00:04:03,543 --> 00:04:06,569
My family and I left
Hungary 30 years ago.
60
00:04:06,646 --> 00:04:09,342
We wanted to
get away of oppression.
61
00:04:09,749 --> 00:04:12,547
Nicolas and I left
Bucharest 10 years ago
62
00:04:12,619 --> 00:04:15,053
[sobbing]
To get away of the violence.
63
00:04:15,121 --> 00:04:17,749
You said he was working late
on the books.
64
00:04:17,824 --> 00:04:19,382
Did he ever call?
65
00:04:19,459 --> 00:04:22,019
Yes, around, uh, 12:30.
66
00:04:22,462 --> 00:04:25,090
Leon doesn't sleep well.
He answered.
67
00:04:25,164 --> 00:04:28,759
[Sobs]
I... I was too tired to talk to him.
68
00:04:28,835 --> 00:04:30,564
All right, all right.
69
00:04:30,637 --> 00:04:31,968
What did
your father say, Leon?
70
00:04:32,038 --> 00:04:33,027
[Karen sobs]
71
00:04:33,106 --> 00:04:34,539
He's not my father,
he's my uncle.
72
00:04:34,607 --> 00:04:36,837
He said
he was on his way home.
73
00:04:36,909 --> 00:04:37,967
[Karen sobbing]
74
00:04:38,044 --> 00:04:40,069
Just take a minute,
all right?
75
00:04:40,146 --> 00:04:41,135
[Karen whimpering]
76
00:04:42,448 --> 00:04:44,780
[Wailing]
77
00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:49,088
It's a mistake.
78
00:04:49,155 --> 00:04:51,487
Sometimes
you read about mistakes.
79
00:04:51,557 --> 00:04:52,990
I'm afraid it's not,
ma'am.
80
00:04:53,059 --> 00:04:54,720
We found
your husband's ID on the body.
81
00:04:54,794 --> 00:04:55,818
No.
82
00:04:55,895 --> 00:04:56,953
I'm sorry.
83
00:04:57,030 --> 00:05:00,488
[Karen sobbing]
84
00:05:01,601 --> 00:05:04,229
Car's been found.
Lower East Side.
85
00:05:07,273 --> 00:05:08,433
[Tool whirring]
86
00:05:08,508 --> 00:05:10,408
Piranas leave more.
87
00:05:10,610 --> 00:05:13,170
Piranas don't need
a daily C-note for crack.
88
00:05:13,246 --> 00:05:15,441
Were you able to
I.D. The car that did this?
89
00:05:15,515 --> 00:05:18,416
The paint pyrogram matched
a white acrylic enamel.
90
00:05:18,484 --> 00:05:19,951
Very widely used.
91
00:05:20,019 --> 00:05:21,953
The trunk was hit
pretty high, huh?
92
00:05:22,021 --> 00:05:24,319
Yeah.
Probably a truck or a van.
93
00:05:24,390 --> 00:05:25,550
It hits him.
94
00:05:25,625 --> 00:05:28,116
Before he even has a chance to
get out and check the damage,
95
00:05:28,194 --> 00:05:30,185
the bad guy comes in
the passenger side,
96
00:05:30,263 --> 00:05:33,061
and Mr. Iliescu is looking at
the business end of a Beretta.
97
00:05:33,132 --> 00:05:34,360
Bang bang.
98
00:05:34,434 --> 00:05:37,096
[Sighs]
Autopsy says one was a clear-through.
99
00:05:37,170 --> 00:05:40,298
We found the slug up here.
100
00:05:42,475 --> 00:05:44,500
It was right there.
We sent it to ballistics.
101
00:05:44,577 --> 00:05:45,669
Thanks.
102
00:05:45,745 --> 00:05:48,077
So he pushes Nick's body
out of the car
103
00:05:48,147 --> 00:05:49,739
and he drives off
with his prize.
104
00:05:49,816 --> 00:05:51,181
Yeah. Problem is,
105
00:05:51,250 --> 00:05:52,615
Nick gets caught
in the seatbelt
106
00:05:52,685 --> 00:05:54,949
and dragged
for half a block.
107
00:05:55,021 --> 00:05:57,251
That's a lot of trouble,
for what?
108
00:05:57,357 --> 00:06:00,724
Blue Book, this is $2,000,
minus a fencer's discount.
109
00:06:00,793 --> 00:06:03,694
Hey, people get knocked off
for subway change.
110
00:06:03,763 --> 00:06:05,424
Maybe the guys
who stripped the car
111
00:06:05,498 --> 00:06:07,227
know how
it got into that alley.
112
00:06:07,300 --> 00:06:08,790
[Tool whirring]
Yeah.
113
00:06:08,868 --> 00:06:12,031
Those seats have to be
in a chop shop somewhere.
114
00:06:13,172 --> 00:06:14,366
(Briscoe)
Yeah, all right.
115
00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:17,341
Well, thanks, anyway.
116
00:06:17,410 --> 00:06:19,002
Auto Crimes gave us
a list
117
00:06:19,078 --> 00:06:21,376
of auto parts dealers
with priors.
118
00:06:21,447 --> 00:06:23,711
Must be over 400
auto body shops in New York.
119
00:06:23,783 --> 00:06:25,216
Any that didn't
make the list?
120
00:06:25,284 --> 00:06:27,218
(Logan)
Pontiac Bonneville, '88.
121
00:06:27,286 --> 00:06:31,780
Yeah. No, no, not the 1-120s,
the 40-90s with the armrest.
122
00:06:32,024 --> 00:06:33,116
No? Thank you.
123
00:06:33,192 --> 00:06:35,524
(Briscoe)
Yeah, I'm looking for a 1988 Pontiac Bonneville.
124
00:06:35,595 --> 00:06:37,893
Grey velour, driver's side
front bucket seats.
125
00:06:37,964 --> 00:06:39,693
Yeah,
model 40-90 with armrests.
126
00:06:39,766 --> 00:06:40,926
Is that too much to ask?
127
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:43,366
[Sighs]
Well, how about the seats?
128
00:06:43,436 --> 00:06:44,835
You do?
129
00:06:45,037 --> 00:06:46,527
(Logan)
Wait a second, are you sure?
130
00:06:46,606 --> 00:06:48,631
Because I called you
the day before yesterday,
131
00:06:48,708 --> 00:06:50,198
and you didn't have any.
132
00:06:50,276 --> 00:06:52,870
Just came in? I'm interested.
133
00:06:52,945 --> 00:06:54,674
I'm gonna be right down.
Thank you.
134
00:06:54,747 --> 00:06:55,873
What have you got?
135
00:06:55,948 --> 00:06:58,883
Morrie's Auto Wreckers,
107 East Fourth St.
136
00:06:59,786 --> 00:07:02,584
(Morrie)
They also fit the '86 and '87 models.
137
00:07:02,655 --> 00:07:04,350
(Morrie)
Here, they're right over here.
138
00:07:04,424 --> 00:07:05,686
Came in this morning.
139
00:07:05,758 --> 00:07:09,125
Bring the vehicle in,
I'll install them cheap.
140
00:07:09,429 --> 00:07:11,693
(Briscoe)
How much to wipe off the blood?
141
00:07:11,764 --> 00:07:14,164
Blood? Come on.
142
00:07:14,300 --> 00:07:17,326
That's, uh, ice cream
or ketchup, uh.
143
00:07:17,470 --> 00:07:18,801
They had kids.
144
00:07:18,871 --> 00:07:20,395
Those kids
would be orphans.
145
00:07:20,540 --> 00:07:22,599
Hey, the car was stripped
last night
146
00:07:22,675 --> 00:07:24,666
eight blocks from here.
The owner's dead.
147
00:07:24,744 --> 00:07:27,440
I knew you were blue
the minute you walked in.
148
00:07:27,513 --> 00:07:29,105
Be my guest. Take them.
149
00:07:29,182 --> 00:07:31,616
I'm gonna want some names.
Who'd you buy it from?
150
00:07:31,684 --> 00:07:33,845
I don't send these guys
Christmas cards.
151
00:07:33,986 --> 00:07:36,181
The deal's strictly
cash for parts.
152
00:07:36,289 --> 00:07:38,348
Listen,
you start poking around here
153
00:07:38,424 --> 00:07:39,721
or your deal's gonna be
154
00:07:39,792 --> 00:07:41,692
making license plates
for cigarette money.
155
00:07:41,761 --> 00:07:43,092
I don't know their names.
156
00:07:43,162 --> 00:07:44,823
They only come in
a couple of times.
157
00:07:44,897 --> 00:07:47,593
I worked on one guy's van.
Long hair.
158
00:07:47,667 --> 00:07:49,134
All right,
come on, what else?
159
00:07:49,202 --> 00:07:50,863
You know,
scars, tattoos, what?
160
00:07:50,937 --> 00:07:52,063
The other guy, uh,

it was actually Hungarian.

All by check,

one of which
was a credit card.

prints up a phony card,

all over town.

why not branch out?

00:15:33,232 --> 00:15:34,392
You mind?
347
00:15:34,466 --> 00:15:37,594
Tommy, open the safe
for these gentlemen.
348
00:15:38,570 --> 00:15:41,095
[Speaking Romanian]
349
00:15:42,341 --> 00:15:45,242
Tommy's a hard worker,
an honest man,
350
00:15:45,311 --> 00:15:48,439
something else you don't find
many of back home.
351
00:15:48,647 --> 00:15:50,239
Yeah,
there's not many here either.
352
00:15:51,250 --> 00:15:53,582
You really think
Nick was involved
353
00:15:53,652 --> 00:15:56,018
with this, uh,
credit card thing?
354
00:15:56,455 --> 00:15:57,683
Do you?
355
00:15:57,756 --> 00:16:00,623
Well, sometimes
business wasrt so great.
356
00:16:02,861 --> 00:16:04,556
See what I mean?
357
00:16:07,633 --> 00:16:10,124
What are these,
corporate ledgers?
358
00:16:10,202 --> 00:16:11,829
You're the cop.
359
00:16:15,641 --> 00:16:17,108
(Pappas)
We checked the signatures
360
00:16:17,176 --> 00:16:18,768
on the time cards
in lliescu's store.
361
00:16:18,844 --> 00:16:19,902
(Briscoe)
And?
362
00:16:19,979 --> 00:16:21,412
(Pappas)
That Jerry down the hall?
363
00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:24,574
He'll tell you
a mars fingerprint will divulge his entire personality
364
00:16:24,650 --> 00:16:26,811
You ask me,
that's a bunch of crap.
365
00:16:26,885 --> 00:16:29,183
Signature, that's
a horse of a different color.
366
00:16:29,254 --> 00:16:31,688
We just want to know
if any of these match.
367
00:16:31,757 --> 00:16:33,418
Well, look for yourself.
368
00:16:33,492 --> 00:16:35,221
See the "y" at
the end of Tommy?
369
00:16:35,294 --> 00:16:37,592
The angle of the upstroke
and how it's cut short?
370
00:16:37,663 --> 00:16:39,528
Now look at
the "y" in O'Malley.
371
00:16:39,598 --> 00:16:40,860
Close.
372
00:16:40,933 --> 00:16:42,332
You get that
close at the track,
373
00:16:42,401 --> 00:16:43,561
you retire early.
374
00:16:43,635 --> 00:16:46,229
So you're saying that
Tommy Zanescu forged these?
375
00:16:46,305 --> 00:16:47,294
Looks like it.
376
00:16:47,373 --> 00:16:49,307
Give me a full exemplar,
I'll know for sure.
377
00:16:49,375 --> 00:16:50,433
Thanks.
378
00:16:50,509 --> 00:16:52,374
Hey, we can pick him up now
on grand theft.
379
00:16:52,478 --> 00:16:55,413
And what, squeeze him
till he confesses to murder?
380
00:16:55,781 --> 00:16:57,009
Forensics says
381
00:16:57,082 --> 00:16:59,915
that lliescu's car
was rammed by a truck.
382
00:16:59,985 --> 00:17:02,078
Furniture stores
make deliveries.
383
00:17:03,188 --> 00:17:04,280
[Horn honking]
384
00:17:04,390 --> 00:17:05,516
(Hector)
Are you kidding me?
385
00:17:05,591 --> 00:17:06,785
These guys are slave drivers.
386
00:17:06,859 --> 00:17:09,020
Me and Julio, sometimes
up to 10 deliveries a day.
387
00:17:09,094 --> 00:17:10,686
That's why I eat
so healthy, guys.
388
00:17:10,763 --> 00:17:14,392
A slice with some sausage
is one of your three basic food groups.
389
00:17:14,466 --> 00:17:16,093
Hey, you and Julio,
they don't make you
390
00:17:16,168 --> 00:17:17,692
lug pianos
uptown on your backs.
391
00:17:17,770 --> 00:17:19,863
Do me a favor.
Don't give them any ideas, all right?
392
00:17:19,938 --> 00:17:22,372
To save a buck,
these guys'll probably ditch the truck.
393
00:17:22,441 --> 00:17:24,136
What kind of truck, Hector?
394
00:17:24,209 --> 00:17:25,301
Ford. White.
395
00:17:25,377 --> 00:17:27,277
Anybody, uh, fix
the bumper lately?
396
00:17:27,346 --> 00:17:29,405
Hey, I haven't even seen
it in a couple of days.
397
00:17:29,481 --> 00:17:31,278
Tommy took it, um,
last Tuesday.
398
00:17:31,350 --> 00:17:33,318
And he never brought it back?
399
00:17:33,385 --> 00:17:35,114
Hey, do me a favor.
You find it,
400
00:17:35,187 --> 00:17:37,314
I'm in no rush, all right.
Know what I mean?
401
00:17:37,456 --> 00:17:38,980
[Traffic humming]
402
00:17:42,361 --> 00:17:47,321
(Tommy)
O'Malley, Hollingswon'th, Ford, Cohen.
403
00:17:47,833 --> 00:17:49,630
I don't know these people.
404
00:17:50,502 --> 00:17:51,799
(Logan)
That's funny,
405
00:17:51,870 --> 00:17:54,896
'cause you ran up
over $80,000 on their cards.
406
00:17:54,973 --> 00:17:57,407
I don't see my
client's name anywhere.
407
00:17:57,476 --> 00:17:59,410
(Briscoe)
Our handwriting expert tells us
408
00:17:59,478 --> 00:18:01,173
that he signed
every one of those.
409
00:18:01,246 --> 00:18:03,612
(Forrelli)
Handwriting expert? What's next?
410
00:18:03,682 --> 00:18:05,115
Maybe you want
to read his palm?
411
00:18:05,250 --> 00:18:06,683
Or how about
some tea leaves?
412
00:18:06,752 --> 00:18:08,777
I hear they're very good
for telling the future.
413
00:18:08,854 --> 00:18:10,185
Hey, you want to know
the future?
414
00:18:10,255 --> 00:18:11,483
Try 25 years in Attica.
415
00:18:11,557 --> 00:18:15,220
Hey, I don't know what
F. Lee Yahoo here told you, Tommy,
416
00:18:15,327 --> 00:18:18,490
but we got you for forgery
and grand larceny
417
00:18:18,564 --> 00:18:20,998
and that adds up to
a lot of years all by itself.
418
00:18:21,066 --> 00:18:22,795
And then when
you add murder two...
419
00:18:22,868 --> 00:18:24,927
You cannot tie me
to any murder.
420
00:18:25,003 --> 00:18:27,767
The delivery man told
us you took the truck.
421
00:18:28,207 --> 00:18:30,641
It's only a matter of
time until we find it
422
00:18:30,709 --> 00:18:32,176
and if we find any paint
423
00:18:32,244 --> 00:18:33,472
from Nick's car
on the bumper...
424
00:18:33,545 --> 00:18:35,308
Oh, wait a minute,
wait a minute, Lennie.
425
00:18:35,380 --> 00:18:37,780
Let Mr. Forrelli
here explain it to him.
426
00:18:37,850 --> 00:18:40,045
That's what you're
paying him for, right?
427
00:18:40,719 --> 00:18:42,653
We know there were two.
428
00:18:42,788 --> 00:18:44,722
Just tell us who
the other person was.
429
00:18:44,790 --> 00:18:47,122
Maybe we can work
something out here.
430
00:18:47,659 --> 00:18:48,648
[Briscoe sighs]

I don't know if they give out gold stars

for loyalty in your country,
433
00:18:52,564 --> 00:18:55,328
but over here, all you get
is a set of striped pajamas
434
00:18:55,400 --> 00:18:57,834
and the word "schmo"
stamped on your forehead.
435
00:18:57,903 --> 00:19:00,770
The world's not as big
as you think it is, Tommy.
436
00:19:01,140 --> 00:19:02,607
We're gonna find your partner.
437
00:19:02,674 --> 00:19:03,971
[Siren wailing]
438
00:19:04,042 --> 00:19:05,839
The question you
have to ask yourself,
439
00:19:06,745 --> 00:19:08,906
will he be this loyal to you?
440
00:19:12,718 --> 00:19:14,345
You have authority
to deal?
441
00:19:14,486 --> 00:19:16,113
We have the D.A.'s ear.
442
00:19:18,891 --> 00:19:20,051
Alex.
443
00:19:22,327 --> 00:19:23,817
Nick's brother?
444
00:19:25,464 --> 00:19:26,863
Nick found out.
445
00:19:26,932 --> 00:19:29,560
He searched the store,
found the forged cards...
446
00:19:29,635 --> 00:19:30,693
And you killed Nick
447
00:19:30,769 --> 00:19:32,361
to keep him from
going to the police?
448
00:19:33,172 --> 00:19:35,732
I thought we were just going
to get the cards back.
449
00:19:35,807 --> 00:19:38,173
I never thought
he'd kill his own brother.
450
00:19:38,243 --> 00:19:39,676
Where's the truck?
451
00:19:41,246 --> 00:19:45,444
In a rent-a-garage
on Corona, 108th St.
452
00:19:46,618 --> 00:19:48,586
[Engines humming]
453
00:19:48,654 --> 00:19:50,053
(Albers)
You sure this is okay?
454
00:19:50,189 --> 00:19:51,622
The guy gave us the key,
didn't he?
455
00:19:51,690 --> 00:19:53,590
You know, I thought
something was wrong.
456
00:19:53,659 --> 00:19:55,456
Guy has a business
in Manattan.
457
00:19:55,527 --> 00:19:57,290
Why does he want
a garage in Queens?
458
00:19:57,362 --> 00:19:58,989
White Ford van!
459
00:19:59,097 --> 00:20:00,689
Those two guys,
a guy could tell.
460
00:20:00,766 --> 00:20:01,790
You know what I mean.
461
00:20:01,867 --> 00:20:02,834
Yeah, thanks.
462
00:20:02,901 --> 00:20:03,959
Lennie!
463
00:20:08,307 --> 00:20:11,299
I wonder if he reported that
to his insurance agent.
464
00:20:11,543 --> 00:20:13,010
Burgundy paint.
465
00:20:13,145 --> 00:20:14,635
Just like
his brother's Bonneville.
466
00:20:24,990 --> 00:20:27,151
What's Romanian for
"You're under arrest"?
467
00:20:27,226 --> 00:20:28,625
This is a mistake.
468
00:20:28,694 --> 00:20:30,457
Sounds just like
English.
469
00:20:30,529 --> 00:20:32,121
Alex lliescu,
you're under arrest
470
00:20:32,264 --> 00:20:33,856
for the murder of
Nicolas lliescu.
471
00:20:33,932 --> 00:20:35,559
You have the right
to remain silent.
472
00:20:35,634 --> 00:20:36,965
Anything you say
can be used
473
00:20:37,035 --> 00:20:38,935
against you
in a court of law...
474
00:20:40,405 --> 00:20:42,771
"Docket number 651328.

How does
the defendant plead?

I plead not
guilty to all counts.
481
00:20:54,486 --> 00:20:56,511
And the State's
response to Mr. Iliescu's

As a Romanian national,
we feel

Mr. Iliescu represents
a strong risk of flight.

We ask he be held
without bail.
486
00:21:05,063 --> 00:21:08,032
That's the message you send
to the emerging democracies?
487

Bail is set at $500,000.

to earn a living in
a small furniture store.

in pursuit
of the American dream,
492
00:21:17,442 --> 00:21:19,876

the wrong approach.

Alex into the business.

He could not
refuse his brother.
496

This is how he repays Nick.
497
00:21:33,892 --> 00:21:36,861
I assure you, Alex will pay
for what he did.
498
00:21:36,928 --> 00:21:39,988
(Karen)
I read the papers, Mr. Stone.
499
00:21:40,332 --> 00:21:44,063
I see how difficult it is
to convict a criminal.
500
00:21:46,338 --> 00:21:47,362
I will help you.
501
00:21:47,439 --> 00:21:50,408
I will testify
on behalf of the State.
502
00:21:50,876 --> 00:21:52,901
But unless you have
specific evidence
503
00:21:52,978 --> 00:21:54,445
relating to the crime...

the first he killed!

You have knowledge
of other crimes?

In Romania, Alex was
an officer in the Securitate,

the secret police.
508
00:22:05,857 --> 00:22:08,189
He killed hundreds.
509
00:22:08,360 --> 00:22:09,384
I understand,
510
00:22:09,461 --> 00:22:12,055
but the court
may rule that inadmissible.
511
00:22:12,731 --> 00:22:13,891
Now, if Leon...
512
00:22:13,965 --> 00:22:15,865
Leon has nothing
to do with this.
513
00:22:16,001 --> 00:22:17,935

I hope we didn't taught him
wrong, Mr. Stone.

please listen to me.

00:22:39,791 --> 00:22:41,122
In my opinion,
520
00:22:41,193 --> 00:22:43,991
we have sufficient
evidence to convict Alex.
521
00:22:51,636 --> 00:22:53,763
Hope you're not
making hollow promises.
522
00:22:53,839 --> 00:22:55,773
Kaplan just brought
this motion to suppress
523
00:22:55,841 --> 00:22:57,934
all the evidence
found in the garage.
524
00:23:00,946 --> 00:23:03,642
I'm a little surprised,
Mr. Stone. No warrant.
525
00:23:03,749 --> 00:23:05,216
It wasrt necessary,
Your Honor.
526
00:23:05,283 --> 00:23:06,375
They had consent.
527
00:23:06,451 --> 00:23:08,612
From the wrong person.
You'll see on the lease
528
00:23:08,687 --> 00:23:10,587
Alex lliescu is
the sole renter
529
00:23:10,655 --> 00:23:11,815
of the storage garage.
530
00:23:11,890 --> 00:23:14,085
Tommy Zanescu didn't have
authority to consent.
531
00:23:14,159 --> 00:23:15,786
They had joint authority,
Your Honor.
532
00:23:15,861 --> 00:23:17,761
I don't see any reference
to joint authority
533
00:23:17,829 --> 00:23:18,921
in this lease.
534
00:23:18,997 --> 00:23:21,295
Mr. Zanescu gave
the officers the keys.
535
00:23:21,366 --> 00:23:23,459
So what?
The janitor probably has keys
536
00:23:23,535 --> 00:23:25,469
to this office.
He can't consent to a search.
537
00:23:25,537 --> 00:23:28,472
Well, even if the officers
had made a technical mistake,
538
00:23:28,540 --> 00:23:32,636
under Illinois v. Rodriguez
they still could search
539
00:23:32,878 --> 00:23:35,506
with a good faith belief
that Mr. Zanescu
540
00:23:35,580 --> 00:23:37,673
had the apparent
authority to consent.
541
00:23:37,749 --> 00:23:40,274
If Justice Rehnquist conducted
the search instead of
542
00:23:40,352 --> 00:23:42,582
the New York Police,
you'd be right.
543
00:23:42,654 --> 00:23:44,485
But this state
requires some inquiry
544
00:23:44,556 --> 00:23:46,319
as to whether
the consenting party
545
00:23:46,391 --> 00:23:47,449
controls the property.
546
00:23:47,526 --> 00:23:49,323
So what should
the police have done?
547
00:23:49,394 --> 00:23:51,328
Reasonable inquiry
was easily available
548
00:23:51,396 --> 00:23:53,261
in a file cabinet
in the rental office
549
00:23:53,331 --> 00:23:54,593
just 100 feet away.
550
00:23:54,666 --> 00:23:55,724
Your Honor...
551
00:23:55,801 --> 00:23:57,962
Mr. Stone, I don't
much fancy the thought
552
00:23:58,036 --> 00:23:59,799
of the police
searching my home
553
00:23:59,871 --> 00:24:01,429
because a suspected felon
554
00:24:01,506 --> 00:24:03,599
may give out
keys and a say-so.
555
00:24:04,242 --> 00:24:07,541
I'm declaring the truck
and all of the other evidence
556
00:24:07,612 --> 00:24:09,637
found in the garage
inadmissible.
557
00:24:09,714 --> 00:24:11,773
Thank you, Your Honor.
Considering
558
00:24:11,850 --> 00:24:13,681
the paucity of
evidence against my client...
559
00:24:13,752 --> 00:24:15,811
I'm one step ahead of you,
Mr. Kaplan.
560
00:24:15,887 --> 00:24:18,788
The case against
Mr. Iliescu is dismissed.
561
00:24:21,626 --> 00:24:23,355
I don't get it, Ben.
Don't you talk
562
00:24:23,428 --> 00:24:25,123
to our cops?
Apprise them of the law?
563
00:24:25,197 --> 00:24:26,289
They acted well
564
00:24:26,364 --> 00:24:28,195
within the boundaries
of normal procedure.
565
00:24:28,266 --> 00:24:30,826
They can't anticipate
the call of every judge.
566
00:24:30,902 --> 00:24:33,268
We still have Tommy Zanescu's
statement.
567
00:24:33,371 --> 00:24:35,771
The uncorroborated
testimony of a felon?
568
00:24:35,841 --> 00:24:37,900
Feeling masochistic
this week?
569
00:24:38,109 --> 00:24:39,838
Judge Kleinfeldt is
not the only judge
570
00:24:39,911 --> 00:24:41,708
that likes
evidence in her courtroom.
571
00:24:41,780 --> 00:24:43,907
The manager of the garage
can ID Alex.
572
00:24:43,982 --> 00:24:44,971
[Phone rings]
573
00:24:46,818 --> 00:24:48,012
Yes?
574
00:24:50,689 --> 00:24:51,815
When?
575
00:24:53,225 --> 00:24:55,022
Yes,
they're in my office.
576
00:24:56,394 --> 00:24:58,123
Well, we're
off the hook, boys.
577
00:24:58,196 --> 00:25:00,630
Alex lliescu
has been called
578
00:25:00,699 --> 00:25:02,326
to answer before
a higher court.
579
00:25:03,802 --> 00:25:05,633
These three deep wounds
to the upper back
580
00:25:05,704 --> 00:25:07,069
should have been fatal.
581
00:25:07,138 --> 00:25:08,867
And the rest
were just for fun?
582
00:25:08,940 --> 00:25:11,272
Man likes work, hard to get
him out of the office.
583
00:25:11,343 --> 00:25:12,901
This guy really
got into it.
584
00:25:12,978 --> 00:25:14,605
Broken tip of the blade
was protruding
585
00:25:14,679 --> 00:25:16,044
from where it hit his rib.
586
00:25:16,114 --> 00:25:19,015
Looks like a boning knife
was the weapon of choice.
587
00:25:19,251 --> 00:25:22,482
You know, he might have took
a few swings with this.
588
00:25:23,221 --> 00:25:25,587
I want you to check
all the shards for prints,
589
00:25:25,657 --> 00:25:27,352
blood, whatever.
590
00:25:31,563 --> 00:25:33,861
It's obvious the man was
security conscious.
591
00:25:33,932 --> 00:25:35,729
Whoever got in
was let in.
592
00:25:35,800 --> 00:25:37,062
Probably
someone he knew.
593
00:25:37,135 --> 00:25:38,727
Kitchen knife.
Sounds domestic.

596
00:25:45,310 --> 00:25:46,675
(Logan)
Mrs. Iliescu,
597
00:25:46,745 --> 00:25:48,406
we'd like to ask
you some questions.
598
00:25:48,480 --> 00:25:50,914
It's about
Alex lliescu's death.
599
00:25:55,954 --> 00:25:59,253
You promised us justice.
You released him.
600
00:25:59,324 --> 00:26:00,484
Aunt Karen.
601
00:26:00,559 --> 00:26:03,357
Leon, call the lawyer.
He's expecting it.
602
00:26:09,801 --> 00:26:10,768
Come on, Ben,
603
00:26:10,835 --> 00:26:12,803
let's share a little
responsibility here.
604
00:26:12,871 --> 00:26:14,202
(Stone)
Responsibility, Jonathan?
605
00:26:14,272 --> 00:26:15,364
I didn't stab anyone.
606
00:26:15,440 --> 00:26:16,668
Your life wasrt in danger
607
00:26:16,741 --> 00:26:18,902
from a stone-cold killer
that you released.
608
00:26:18,977 --> 00:26:20,569
He was killed
in his apartment,
609
00:26:20,645 --> 00:26:22,545
not breaking into her house.
610
00:26:22,614 --> 00:26:25,481
(Shapiro)
Texas, Ben. The Burning Bed.
611
00:26:25,584 --> 00:26:26,778
The law has held that
612
00:26:26,851 --> 00:26:28,216
self-defense
can be pre-emptive.
613
00:26:28,286 --> 00:26:30,083
The danger doesn't
have to be imminent.
614
00:26:30,155 --> 00:26:32,487
For a battered wife killing
an abusive husband.
615
00:26:32,557 --> 00:26:34,184
Alex lliescu never
laid a hand on her.
616
00:26:34,326 --> 00:26:35,987
(Shapiro)
He made her a widow.
617
00:26:36,061 --> 00:26:37,824
They will also
hear how this woman
618
00:26:37,896 --> 00:26:39,989
pleaded with this
prosecutor for protection.
619
00:26:40,065 --> 00:26:43,228
Mrs. Iliescu,
if you were so afraid,
620
00:26:43,301 --> 00:26:44,768
why didn't you call us?
621
00:26:44,836 --> 00:26:45,928
You let him go.
622
00:26:46,004 --> 00:26:47,972
Why should I believe
you would have helped us?
623
00:26:48,039 --> 00:26:49,939
If you were so
anxious to help her then,
624
00:26:50,008 --> 00:26:51,703
help her now.
625
00:26:51,876 --> 00:26:54,344
Man two with
a suspended sentence.
626
00:26:54,546 --> 00:26:57,310
Man two,
she serves the maximum.
627
00:26:59,250 --> 00:27:00,877
She'll never
serve a day, Ben.
628
00:27:01,353 --> 00:27:02,980
I'll see you in court.
629
00:27:05,557 --> 00:27:07,548
Unless they
rewrite the statute,
630
00:27:07,626 --> 00:27:09,560
self-defense
requires imminent danger.
631
00:27:09,661 --> 00:27:12,027
Juries deal in equities,
not statutes.
632
00:27:12,097 --> 00:27:13,894
This guy killed thousands.
633
00:27:14,199 --> 00:27:16,099
Shapiro will talk
the jury into thinking
634
00:27:16,167 --> 00:27:17,759
the killing was
a public service.
635
00:27:17,836 --> 00:27:20,202
We have a problem.
Karen lliescu's confession
636
00:27:20,271 --> 00:27:21,397
doesn't match the evidence.
637
00:27:21,473 --> 00:27:22,497
What evidence?
638
00:27:22,574 --> 00:27:25,304
The blood on the bottle
Alex used to defend himself
639
00:27:25,377 --> 00:27:27,174
doesn't match his or Karers.
640
00:27:27,245 --> 00:27:29,475
So she confessed to a crime
she didn't commit.
641
00:27:29,547 --> 00:27:31,276
She's protecting someone.
642
00:27:31,349 --> 00:27:33,579
Who's left? The boy.
643
00:27:35,620 --> 00:27:37,247
Call Briscoe and Logan.
644
00:27:41,926 --> 00:27:45,123
When we brought Leon
back from Romania,
645
00:27:45,230 --> 00:27:48,393
he lived with us like a son.
646
00:27:49,100 --> 00:27:51,728
I wanted him to have
a normal life.
647
00:27:53,738 --> 00:27:55,069
He deserved it.
648
00:27:55,607 --> 00:27:57,541
He murdered his father,
Mrs. Iliescu.
649
00:27:57,609 --> 00:28:00,703
In terms of a normal life,
he's off to a bad start.
650
00:28:00,779 --> 00:28:03,407
Take into account
what his father was,
651
00:28:03,481 --> 00:28:05,813
the fear his father
inspired in him.
652
00:28:05,917 --> 00:28:08,283
I'm going to
plead Leon not guilty
653
00:28:08,353 --> 00:28:09,877
by reason of mental defect.
654
00:28:09,954 --> 00:28:11,785
Insanity?
Come on, Jonathan.
655
00:28:11,856 --> 00:28:13,084
Based on what?
656
00:28:13,158 --> 00:28:15,490
His family,
specifically Leon.
657
00:28:15,827 --> 00:28:16,987
He's been haunted,
658
00:28:17,062 --> 00:28:19,860
severely damaged by
a very terrifying past.
659
00:28:20,165 --> 00:28:21,223
[Sighs]
660
00:28:21,299 --> 00:28:22,789
Back to Romania.
661
00:28:23,802 --> 00:28:24,962
You were not there.
662
00:28:25,036 --> 00:28:26,936
You haven't seen
what I've seen.
663
00:28:27,005 --> 00:28:29,235
And what he saw,
the jury will see.
664
00:28:29,307 --> 00:28:31,707
And they'll know
that Leon did
665
00:28:31,810 --> 00:28:34,506
what his life in Romania
conditioned him to do.
666
00:28:34,779 --> 00:28:36,474
It's cultural insanity.
667
00:28:36,548 --> 00:28:38,072
No judge is gonna buy that.
668
00:28:38,149 --> 00:28:41,243
Well, look, you're so sure,
make a motion to preclude.
669
00:28:48,727 --> 00:28:50,388
You think
he actually has a chance
670
00:28:50,462 --> 00:28:51,952
with this cultural
insanity defense?
671
00:28:52,030 --> 00:28:54,658
I think he has a knack
for creating things.
672
00:28:54,999 --> 00:28:57,695
There's nothing
he likes better
673
00:28:57,769 --> 00:28:59,737
than making new law.
674
00:28:59,804 --> 00:29:01,271
But taken to the extreme,
675
00:29:01,339 --> 00:29:02,601
this defense would mean
676
00:29:02,674 --> 00:29:04,505
that nobody's
responsible for anything.
677
00:29:04,576 --> 00:29:07,477
Yeah, and that's exactly
where the law's heading.
678
00:29:07,946 --> 00:29:10,141
Something wrong,
someone to sue.
679
00:29:10,215 --> 00:29:11,682
That's civil law,
not criminal.
680
00:29:11,750 --> 00:29:14,742
You think anyone knows
the difference or cares?
681
00:29:14,886 --> 00:29:16,513
Shapiro's raising the defense.
682
00:29:16,588 --> 00:29:19,352
Translation,
we take it seriously.
683
00:29:19,424 --> 00:29:21,551
Now, what about Liz?
She talk to the boy?
684
00:29:21,626 --> 00:29:22,854
No. This afternoon.
685
00:29:22,927 --> 00:29:25,555
Well, if she has any doubts,
cut a deal.
686
00:29:29,968 --> 00:29:31,765
I remember my mother.
687
00:29:32,537 --> 00:29:34,732
She take me to
the State Building.
688
00:29:34,806 --> 00:29:37,331
She, uh, has to see
the physician,
689
00:29:37,408 --> 00:29:40,969
so she, uh, leave me
with my father.
690
00:29:41,579 --> 00:29:43,274
He worked
for the State.
691
00:29:43,548 --> 00:29:45,243
How old were you,
Leon?
692
00:29:46,851 --> 00:29:48,842
Um, maybe 11, 10.
693
00:29:50,455 --> 00:29:54,551
The sergeant, he, uh,
take me to my father.
694
00:29:54,626 --> 00:29:57,424
He was in the quadrangle
outside the cell block.
695
00:30:00,765 --> 00:30:04,394
The prisoners,
they were
696
00:30:04,469 --> 00:30:06,960
chained together
at the ankles
697
00:30:07,272 --> 00:30:08,500
and they had to watch,
698
00:30:08,573 --> 00:30:10,040
or the guards
would beat them.
699
00:30:10,708 --> 00:30:12,801
What did they
have to watch?
700
00:30:13,478 --> 00:30:17,175
Another prisoner
on the ground.
701
00:30:17,315 --> 00:30:18,509
He, uh...
702
00:30:20,051 --> 00:30:23,043
The guards stand on his arms
703
00:30:23,121 --> 00:30:25,021
so he cannot move.
704
00:30:25,290 --> 00:30:28,418
His feet are tied to a post.
705
00:30:30,762 --> 00:30:32,093
A big man,
706
00:30:33,264 --> 00:30:37,462
he is beating on the soles
707
00:30:37,535 --> 00:30:39,969
of the prisoner's
feet with a club.
708
00:30:42,340 --> 00:30:43,329
[Sighs]
709
00:30:43,975 --> 00:30:45,943
The big man turn around.
710
00:30:46,945 --> 00:30:48,572
It was my father.
711
00:30:49,614 --> 00:30:51,844
How did you feel about that?
712
00:30:53,084 --> 00:30:54,517
I was proud.
713
00:30:55,453 --> 00:30:57,444
Proud of his brutality?
714
00:31:02,193 --> 00:31:03,785
We got respect.
715
00:31:06,464 --> 00:31:10,332
We live well because of
what my father did.
716
00:31:12,470 --> 00:31:15,303
Every time
Ceausescu give an address,
717
00:31:15,807 --> 00:31:17,604
there is my father,
718
00:31:17,675 --> 00:31:19,939
the fourth man on his right.
719
00:31:25,083 --> 00:31:29,383
He said when I am grown,
that would be me.
720
00:31:32,123 --> 00:31:33,920
He was raised
with violence and brutality
721
00:31:33,992 --> 00:31:35,016
as a fact of life.
722
00:31:35,093 --> 00:31:36,082
It had to have an effect.
723
00:31:36,160 --> 00:31:37,991
I wasrt exactly invited
to the Queers tea
724
00:31:38,062 --> 00:31:39,086
when I was a kid.
725
00:31:39,163 --> 00:31:41,461
I didn't kill anybody,
and I don't think I'm insane.
726
00:31:41,532 --> 00:31:42,556
But figuratively,
727
00:31:42,634 --> 00:31:44,431
Leon was invited
to the palace ball.
728
00:31:44,502 --> 00:31:45,969
He saw
his father's cruelty,
729
00:31:46,037 --> 00:31:48,096
and he also saw him
get rewarded for it.
730
00:31:48,172 --> 00:31:50,072
He became what his
culture prescribed.
731
00:31:50,208 --> 00:31:52,108
He couldn't reject
his father's life.
732
00:31:52,176 --> 00:31:54,144
So Shapiro's theory
is valid?
733
00:31:54,212 --> 00:31:55,440
In theory, yes.
734
00:31:55,513 --> 00:31:57,811
What bothers me
is not so much what Leon says,
735
00:31:57,882 --> 00:31:59,543
but the way
in which he says it.
736
00:31:59,617 --> 00:32:01,278
He's reciting
a litany of horrors
737
00:32:01,352 --> 00:32:02,614
he experienced
as a youth,
738
00:32:02,687 --> 00:32:04,484
but there's
a weird enthusiasm
739
00:32:04,555 --> 00:32:06,523
as if he's describing
the actualization
740
00:32:06,591 --> 00:32:07,683
of some fantasy.
741
00:32:07,759 --> 00:32:09,283
Does he have
a mental defect?
742
00:32:09,360 --> 00:32:10,827
I'd be able to
testify that
743
00:32:10,895 --> 00:32:13,830
although he may have been
traumatized as a youth,
744
00:32:13,898 --> 00:32:15,297
he knew exactly
what he was doing
745
00:32:15,366 --> 00:32:16,765
when he killed his father.
746
00:32:20,972 --> 00:32:23,167
(Stone)
You will hear a taped confession
747
00:32:23,241 --> 00:32:26,301
in which Leon
lliescu describes
748
00:32:26,911 --> 00:32:31,314
plunging a knife repeatedly
into his father's back.
749
00:32:32,283 --> 00:32:34,717
And he doesn't say
that his act is justified.
750
00:32:34,786 --> 00:32:36,185
What he does say
751
00:32:36,254 --> 00:32:40,588
is that because of his youth
in a violent police state
752
00:32:41,259 --> 00:32:43,489
he cannot be held
legally responsible
753
00:32:43,561 --> 00:32:44,550
for his acts.
754
00:32:45,263 --> 00:32:47,561
He is legally insane.
755
00:32:47,966 --> 00:32:49,763
In short, Leon is saying,
756
00:32:49,834 --> 00:32:53,099
"I'm not guilty.
Society made me do it."
757
00:32:54,505 --> 00:32:55,972
I only ask that
758
00:32:56,040 --> 00:32:58,975
when you are confronted
with this mountain
759
00:32:59,043 --> 00:33:01,511
of psychoanalytic verbiage
760
00:33:02,413 --> 00:33:06,679
that you keep in mind
the real victim of this crime
761
00:33:07,251 --> 00:33:10,618
found on the floor
of his own apartment
762
00:33:11,122 --> 00:33:13,613
with the blade
of a boning knife
763
00:33:13,725 --> 00:33:15,784
broken in his back,
764
00:33:15,860 --> 00:33:18,055
murdered by his own son.
765
00:33:19,764 --> 00:33:22,130
Only then can you determine
766
00:33:22,600 --> 00:33:26,092
whether Leon
is the victim of society
767
00:33:26,237 --> 00:33:28,899
or society
is the victim of Leon.
768
00:33:30,842 --> 00:33:32,673
My father, God bless him,
769
00:33:33,945 --> 00:33:37,005
had a little tailor shop
right down here on Church St.
770
00:33:39,484 --> 00:33:40,781
When I was 5 years old,
771
00:33:40,852 --> 00:33:42,547
he made me sit
behind a counter
772
00:33:42,620 --> 00:33:44,315
and talk to the customers.
773
00:33:44,422 --> 00:33:47,823
When I was 10, he taught me
to use the press.
774
00:33:48,893 --> 00:33:51,020
At 12, the sewing machine.
775
00:33:51,896 --> 00:33:54,831
To him, there would be
nothing greater in this world
776
00:33:54,899 --> 00:33:58,300
than to hang a sign,
"Shapiro and Son."
777
00:34:03,007 --> 00:34:07,239
You will see that it was
the same for Leon lliescu.
778
00:34:09,013 --> 00:34:12,176
Only his father made him watch
public executions.
779
00:34:13,084 --> 00:34:15,746
He taught him how to use
a pistol and a whip.
780
00:34:16,187 --> 00:34:18,178
The only path to
success for Leon
781
00:34:18,322 --> 00:34:20,347
was
State-sanctioned brutality.
782
00:34:23,394 --> 00:34:26,522
Then suddenly, he was brought
to this country.
783
00:34:27,398 --> 00:34:29,127
His aunt and uncle tried
to salvage
784
00:34:29,200 --> 00:34:30,724
the human being in him.
785
00:34:31,369 --> 00:34:32,461
They taught him that
786
00:34:32,537 --> 00:34:34,164
his father's way of life
was wrong.
787
00:34:35,740 --> 00:34:38,504
But then his uncle
was murdered by his father,
788
00:34:38,576 --> 00:34:40,942
and the State said
it was okay.
789
00:34:42,246 --> 00:34:46,182
And something
inside of Leon went snap.
790
00:34:48,920 --> 00:34:52,515
He lived with us
the last seven years.
791
00:34:52,957 --> 00:34:55,687
(Stone)
Please describe anything in Leors behavior
792
00:34:55,760 --> 00:34:59,196
that would lead you to believe
that he had a mental problem.
793
00:34:59,263 --> 00:35:01,060
He did not sleep well.
794
00:35:01,132 --> 00:35:02,463
And that's all?
795
00:35:02,567 --> 00:35:04,432
I don't want to
talk about Leon.
796
00:35:04,502 --> 00:35:06,299
I don't want to be here!
797
00:35:07,138 --> 00:35:09,197
Did any of his teachers...
798
00:35:10,808 --> 00:35:13,538
Did they complain
about his behavior?
799
00:35:13,778 --> 00:35:15,871
He had trouble in school.
800
00:35:17,782 --> 00:35:19,079
But I helped him.
801
00:35:19,150 --> 00:35:22,586
Mrs. Iliescu, that is not
an answer to my question.
802
00:35:24,689 --> 00:35:27,817
Did his teachers complain
about his behavior?
803
00:35:30,528 --> 00:35:32,359
Answer the question.
804
00:35:32,897 --> 00:35:33,955
No.
805
00:35:34,532 --> 00:35:36,329
And did he ever
get into any fights
806
00:35:36,400 --> 00:35:37,833
in the neighborhood?
807
00:35:39,370 --> 00:35:40,428
No.
808
00:35:41,038 --> 00:35:43,006
Was there anything
in his behavior
809
00:35:43,074 --> 00:35:44,336
that would lead
you to believe
810
00:35:44,408 --> 00:35:46,433
that he needed
psychiatric treatment?
811
00:35:50,815 --> 00:35:51,782
No.
812
00:35:51,849 --> 00:35:52,873
Thank you.
813
00:36:00,758 --> 00:36:02,623
At what point
in the seven years
814
00:36:02,693 --> 00:36:04,058
that he lived with you
815
00:36:04,128 --> 00:36:07,791
did Leon begin to need help
with his schoolwork?
816
00:36:08,833 --> 00:36:10,858
He was a good student
817
00:36:11,836 --> 00:36:14,532
until his father
came over from Romania.
818
00:36:16,240 --> 00:36:17,229
Was that about the time
819
00:36:17,341 --> 00:36:18,808
he started having
trouble sleeping?
820
00:36:18,876 --> 00:36:21,674
(Karen)
Yes. He had nightmares.
821
00:36:22,613 --> 00:36:24,410
His friends would call,
822
00:36:24,482 --> 00:36:27,178
and he would not
speak to them.
823
00:36:28,519 --> 00:36:30,987
Mrs. Iliescu,
you never consulted
824
00:36:31,055 --> 00:36:33,114
a psychiatrist
about Leors condition.
825
00:36:33,191 --> 00:36:34,920
Did you consult anyone?
826
00:36:37,495 --> 00:36:39,827
Yes, I spoke to
Father Popescu.
827
00:36:42,066 --> 00:36:44,057
I begged Leon
828
00:36:44,402 --> 00:36:47,337
to come with me to church,
but he refused.
829
00:36:47,805 --> 00:36:51,138
He said he was cursed.
830
00:36:53,110 --> 00:36:55,010
God didn't want him.
831
00:37:00,184 --> 00:37:02,015
I would have done...
832
00:37:07,625 --> 00:37:09,354
anything for him.
833
00:37:10,962 --> 00:37:11,986
[Sniffles]
834
00:37:12,163 --> 00:37:16,122
He lived with us
like our own son.
835
00:37:18,569 --> 00:37:22,903
But when Alex came,
I just felt him
836
00:37:24,308 --> 00:37:25,832
to... to slip away.
837
00:37:30,081 --> 00:37:31,139
He speaks of
838
00:37:31,215 --> 00:37:33,149
being almost constantly
at his father's side,
839
00:37:33,217 --> 00:37:35,242
of witnessing interrogations
840
00:37:35,319 --> 00:37:37,480
in which prisoners
were severely beaten.
841
00:37:37,555 --> 00:37:39,352
He saw executions.
842
00:37:39,490 --> 00:37:42,254
He also saw his father
rewarded for his actions.
843
00:37:42,426 --> 00:37:44,519
Unconsciously,
he equated cruelty
844
00:37:44,595 --> 00:37:47,189
with success,
achievement, and power.
845
00:37:47,265 --> 00:37:50,598
And in your expert opinion,
were these acts of violence,
846
00:37:50,668 --> 00:37:52,295
which he described vividly,
847
00:37:52,370 --> 00:37:54,702
were they the result
of his upbringing?
848
00:37:54,772 --> 00:37:57,002
His childhood
probably was traumatic,
849
00:37:57,074 --> 00:37:59,338
but it did not compel
him to kill his father.
850
00:37:59,477 --> 00:38:02,275
And does the defendant suffer
from any mental defect?
851
00:38:02,346 --> 00:38:03,370
No.
852
00:38:03,481 --> 00:38:06,609
So in your opinion
he is not legally insane?
853
00:38:06,717 --> 00:38:08,446
No, he's not.
854
00:38:08,519 --> 00:38:09,850
Thank you.
855
00:38:17,028 --> 00:38:18,495
Dr. Olivet.
856
00:38:19,330 --> 00:38:23,096
Would you, uh, consider
psychology an exact science?
857
00:38:23,167 --> 00:38:26,102
Psychological evaluation
offers a certain accuracy
858
00:38:26,170 --> 00:38:28,434
within certain parameters,
yes.
859
00:38:28,506 --> 00:38:31,236
You described the effect
of Leors youth
860
00:38:31,309 --> 00:38:32,571
as traumatic, didn't you?
861
00:38:32,643 --> 00:38:34,804
I said it was
probably traumatic.
862
00:38:36,247 --> 00:38:37,578
Probably.
863
00:38:38,683 --> 00:38:42,642
In other words, it could be
as little or as much
864
00:38:42,720 --> 00:38:45,314
as anyone in your profession
cares to make it.
865
00:38:45,389 --> 00:38:49,223
No. We're not talking about
black magic, Mr. Shapiro.
866
00:38:49,293 --> 00:38:50,590
The evaluation process
867
00:38:50,661 --> 00:38:52,925
is based on
very specific criteria.
868
00:38:52,997 --> 00:38:54,555
I see.
869
00:38:54,632 --> 00:38:57,999
How many Romanians have you
evaluated in your career?
870
00:38:58,069 --> 00:38:59,195
None.
871
00:38:59,270 --> 00:39:01,067
How many sons
of mass murderers?
872
00:39:01,138 --> 00:39:02,435
Objection, Your Honor.
873
00:39:02,506 --> 00:39:03,768
We have already established
874
00:39:03,841 --> 00:39:05,638
Dr. Olivet's credentials
as an expert.
875
00:39:05,710 --> 00:39:08,042
I am not
challenging her expertise.
876
00:39:08,112 --> 00:39:10,478
I am questioning
the basis for her opinion.
877
00:39:10,781 --> 00:39:13,341
I'll allow it.
Answer the question.
878
00:39:14,585 --> 00:39:15,745
None.
879
00:39:17,488 --> 00:39:19,217
So tell us, Doctor,
880
00:39:19,290 --> 00:39:21,986
what in your past qualifies
you to form an opinion
881
00:39:22,059 --> 00:39:23,720
about the effect
of these horrors
882
00:39:23,794 --> 00:39:26,388
when you admittedly
have no experience?
883
00:39:26,464 --> 00:39:27,795
Objection.
884
00:39:27,865 --> 00:39:29,298
Withdrawn.
885
00:39:30,000 --> 00:39:31,797
It wasrt easy, Adam,
but I thought Liz
886
00:39:31,869 --> 00:39:33,632
held her ground
as best she could.
887
00:39:33,704 --> 00:39:36,264
Yeah. The problem is
juries go with the expert
888
00:39:36,340 --> 00:39:38,103
with the most letters
after his name.
889
00:39:38,175 --> 00:39:40,006
And Shapiro's putting
Dr. Melvin Diener
890
00:39:40,077 --> 00:39:41,101
on the stand.
891
00:39:41,178 --> 00:39:43,476
A curriculum vitae like
B.F. Skinner.
892
00:39:43,547 --> 00:39:45,777
The man coined
the term "cultural insanity"
893
00:39:45,850 --> 00:39:47,613
in his 500-page
treatise on the subject.
894
00:39:47,685 --> 00:39:48,674
[Chuckles]
895
00:39:49,220 --> 00:39:51,518
And Jonathan Shapiro's
slick enough
896
00:39:51,655 --> 00:39:53,987
to beat you
through a revolving door.
897
00:39:54,058 --> 00:39:55,821
You actually think
a jury'll buy that?
898
00:39:55,893 --> 00:39:58,054
Well, if it does, we'll have
to triple the budget
899
00:39:58,129 --> 00:40:00,723
to prosecute
all the culturally-insane defendants.
900
00:40:00,798 --> 00:40:02,823
But if I cut
a deal with the boy now,
901
00:40:02,900 --> 00:40:04,731
it'll open
the same floodgates.
902
00:40:04,802 --> 00:40:07,930
The boy says he's a product
of a screwed-up culture.
903
00:40:08,672 --> 00:40:10,105
Since when do we take
904
00:40:10,174 --> 00:40:12,574
the statement
of a known felon as gospel?
905
00:40:12,643 --> 00:40:14,634
The only way to get
a witness to discredit him
906
00:40:14,712 --> 00:40:16,612
is to fly one
over from Romania.
907
00:40:16,680 --> 00:40:18,671
I doubt the State
will spring for that.
908
00:40:18,749 --> 00:40:20,614
It may cost us only cab fare.
909
00:40:20,684 --> 00:40:22,311
Tommy Zanescu
hasn't been transferred
910
00:40:22,386 --> 00:40:23,910
out of Rikers yet.
911
00:40:23,988 --> 00:40:25,080
In my country,
912
00:40:25,156 --> 00:40:27,454
a can'ton of cigarettes
would get you a wool sweater.
913
00:40:27,525 --> 00:40:29,220
The problem is,
I don't smoke,
914
00:40:29,293 --> 00:40:30,783
and I'm not cold.
915
00:40:30,861 --> 00:40:32,954
We are willing to
reduce the sentence.
916
00:40:33,030 --> 00:40:34,156
How much?
917
00:40:34,265 --> 00:40:36,165
(Stone)
That depends on what you tell us.
918
00:40:36,300 --> 00:40:38,200
What do you want to hear?
919
00:40:39,470 --> 00:40:42,166
Enjoy the next 15 years
in jail, sir.
920
00:40:42,473 --> 00:40:46,136
Hold it.
I'll tell you what I know.
921
00:40:48,512 --> 00:40:52,380
Yeah, I knew Alex
back in Bucharest.
922
00:40:52,450 --> 00:40:54,111
I worked with him
in Securitate.
923
00:40:54,185 --> 00:40:56,210
I was what you people call
his right-hand man.
924
00:40:56,287 --> 00:40:57,811
Then you saw him
around Leon?
925
00:40:57,888 --> 00:41:00,516
Hardly ever.
Alex had no use for Leon.
926
00:41:00,591 --> 00:41:01,956
He called him a mouse.
927
00:41:02,026 --> 00:41:03,220
How did Leon react
928
00:41:03,294 --> 00:41:05,285
when his father
brought him to the prison?
929
00:41:05,362 --> 00:41:07,887
The prison?
Is that what the boy told you?
930
00:41:07,965 --> 00:41:10,195
Alex wouldn't
bring him anywhere.
931
00:41:10,401 --> 00:41:11,800
When he was 5 years old,
932
00:41:11,869 --> 00:41:14,463
he sent him to the country
to live with servants.
933
00:41:14,538 --> 00:41:17,507
When Leon asked him to come
live with him in Bucharest,
934
00:41:17,575 --> 00:41:20,373
Alex shipped him off
to New York to his brother.
935
00:41:20,478 --> 00:41:22,537
So Leon always
hated his father?
936
00:41:22,613 --> 00:41:26,640
No. He was weak
and stupid and desperate.
937
00:41:26,851 --> 00:41:29,217
He'd do anything
to please Alex.
938
00:41:29,286 --> 00:41:30,344
What could he do?
939
00:41:30,421 --> 00:41:31,945
Alex didn't want to know him.
940
00:41:32,857 --> 00:41:34,722
But Leon still tried.
941
00:41:34,992 --> 00:41:38,155
You know, it was him
who told us that Nicolas
942
00:41:38,229 --> 00:41:41,096
was going to turn Alex in
to the police.
943
00:41:41,165 --> 00:41:42,894
Alex laughed and said,
944
00:41:42,967 --> 00:41:45,800
"See? You even
squeal like a mouse."
945
00:41:46,504 --> 00:41:49,166
By telling Alex that Nick was
onto the credit card scam,
946
00:41:49,240 --> 00:41:51,572
he was trying to buy his way
into his father's life.
947
00:41:51,642 --> 00:41:53,667
He knew Alex would do
something to stop his uncle.
948
00:41:53,744 --> 00:41:55,939
Which means the death of his
uncle wasrt traumatic.
949
00:41:56,013 --> 00:41:57,105
It was expected.
950
00:41:57,181 --> 00:41:59,240
This whole insanity
defense is a hoax.
951
00:41:59,316 --> 00:42:01,784
So call Shapiro
and set up a meeting.
952
00:42:05,890 --> 00:42:07,619
(Leon)
Zanescu is lying.
953
00:42:09,159 --> 00:42:10,490
He's lying.
954
00:42:10,561 --> 00:42:13,223
(Stone)
Um, Leon, did you know Tommy Zanescu
955
00:42:13,297 --> 00:42:15,561
when you were
both in Romania?
956
00:42:15,966 --> 00:42:18,400
He says he was your father's
right-hand man
957
00:42:18,469 --> 00:42:19,595
in the Securitate.
958
00:42:19,670 --> 00:42:21,433
(Leon)
He was just a chauffeur.
959
00:42:21,505 --> 00:42:23,939
My father had many chauffeurs.
Others who could tell you
960
00:42:24,008 --> 00:42:25,566
he wanted me to be with him,
961
00:42:25,643 --> 00:42:27,076
and none of them
would betray me
962
00:42:27,144 --> 00:42:29,374
or my father like
this Tommy Zanescu.
963
00:42:29,446 --> 00:42:32,244
Your father was not
an easy man to betray, was he?
964
00:42:32,316 --> 00:42:33,806
That's right.
965
00:42:36,253 --> 00:42:37,880
But your uncle?
966
00:42:41,425 --> 00:42:45,725
You found it easy to
betray him, didn't you?
967
00:42:46,530 --> 00:42:48,964
You went to your father,
and you told him
968
00:42:49,033 --> 00:42:50,967
that your uncle was
going to turn him in.
969
00:42:51,035 --> 00:42:55,028
No. Leon,
tell them you didn't.
970
00:42:55,339 --> 00:42:56,567
And you knew
971
00:42:56,640 --> 00:42:58,801
that your father killed
betrayers, didn't you?
972
00:42:59,343 --> 00:43:01,243
I didn't know
he would kill Uncle Nickie.
973
00:43:01,312 --> 00:43:05,248
You knew, Leon.
How could you?
974
00:43:05,416 --> 00:43:06,883
He was my father!
975
00:43:07,017 --> 00:43:08,951
But you loved Nickie!
976
00:43:09,753 --> 00:43:11,050
[Karen sobbing]
977
00:43:12,122 --> 00:43:14,955
Yes. I loved him.
978
00:43:16,160 --> 00:43:17,889
(Stone)
If you had come to us,
979
00:43:17,962 --> 00:43:20,055
your uncle would
be alive today.
980
00:43:26,003 --> 00:43:28,164
After Uncle Nickie died,
981
00:43:29,573 --> 00:43:31,040
my father...
982
00:43:33,310 --> 00:43:35,676
he put his arm
on my shoulder.
983
00:43:35,879 --> 00:43:38,939
He talked to me
like a son.
984
00:43:39,717 --> 00:43:42,652
Until the charges
were dismissed against him.
985
00:43:45,923 --> 00:43:47,982
I went to his apartment.
986
00:43:48,425 --> 00:43:51,155
He was drinking,
celebrating. He...
987
00:43:52,596 --> 00:43:56,157
We talked about me
moving in with him.
988
00:43:56,233 --> 00:43:58,633
But he didn't want you,
did he?
989
00:43:59,203 --> 00:44:00,261
He loved me.
990
00:44:00,337 --> 00:44:02,271
He didn't love you,
he used you.
991
00:44:02,339 --> 00:44:03,533
You don't know anything.
992
00:44:03,607 --> 00:44:05,438
I know
he called you mouse.
993
00:44:11,415 --> 00:44:13,849
Is that because
you're a coward?
994
00:44:16,220 --> 00:44:18,211
I wasrt afraid of him.
995
00:44:24,728 --> 00:44:26,059
He was
996
00:44:28,899 --> 00:44:31,390
eating sausage like
997
00:44:33,170 --> 00:44:34,398
a pig.
998
00:44:37,875 --> 00:44:39,672
There was a knife.
999
00:44:40,511 --> 00:44:42,035
I pick it up.
1000
00:44:45,749 --> 00:44:47,649
He just look at me
1001
00:44:49,186 --> 00:44:50,676
and laugh.
1002
00:44:54,792 --> 00:44:56,851
He call me a snitch
1003
00:44:58,462 --> 00:45:00,521
and then he turn away,
1004
00:45:01,899 --> 00:45:03,628
like I'm nothing!
1005
00:45:09,306 --> 00:45:11,866
But I just keep stabbing
1006
00:45:11,942 --> 00:45:14,103
until he doesn't move
1007
00:45:14,745 --> 00:45:16,076
anymore.
1008
00:45:26,690 --> 00:45:27,679
[Sniffles]
1009
00:45:28,392 --> 00:45:30,121
I'm not a coward.
1010
00:45:37,468 --> 00:45:39,459
(Shapiro)
Extreme emotional disturbance, Ben.
1011
00:45:40,471 --> 00:45:42,462
Man one.
1012
00:45:56,320 --> 00:45:57,582
Leon went a long way
1013
00:45:57,688 --> 00:45:59,121
trying to win
his father's love.
1014
00:45:59,189 --> 00:46:01,783
From the sound of it,
it wasrt won'th winning.
1015
00:46:01,859 --> 00:46:03,588
They say a boy
doesn't become a man
1016
00:46:03,660 --> 00:46:05,287
until his father passes away.
1017
00:46:06,697 --> 00:46:09,495
Leon took care of it
in one fell swoop.
1018
00:46:09,545 --> 00:46:14,095
