Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:01,900
In the criminal justice system,
2
00:00:01,001 --> 00:00:05,601
The people are represented by two separate,
yet equally important groups.
3
00:00:05,633 --> 00:00:07,234
The police, who investigate crime,
4
00:00:07,302 --> 00:00:09,803
and the district attorneys who
prosecute the offenders.
5
00:00:09,871 --> 00:00:12,673
These are their stories.
6
00:00:14,340 --> 00:00:16,475
This is crazy.
7
00:00:16,543 --> 00:00:18,710
You can't leave! - I can't stay.
8
00:00:18,778 --> 00:00:20,279
Even with the work-study,
I won't make
9
00:00:20,346 --> 00:00:22,748
My next tuition installment.
10
00:00:22,816 --> 00:00:24,149
Taxi.
11
00:00:24,217 --> 00:00:26,451
I'll get you the money, okay?
12
00:00:26,519 --> 00:00:27,886
I got something big lined up.
13
00:00:27,954 --> 00:00:29,254
Don't worry about me.
14
00:00:29,322 --> 00:00:30,789
Just take care of yourself.
15
00:00:30,857 --> 00:00:33,091
Excuse me. You spare something?
16
00:00:33,159 --> 00:00:34,993
Beat it!
17
00:00:38,264 --> 00:00:41,333
Everything's gonna be all right.
18
00:00:41,401 --> 00:00:44,903
I love you.
19
00:00:44,971 --> 00:00:47,139
Call me, okay?
20
00:01:00,286 --> 00:01:03,222
You a marine?
21
00:01:03,289 --> 00:01:05,290
Yeah.
22
00:01:11,898 --> 00:01:12,998
Here. Take it all.
23
00:01:13,066 --> 00:01:14,166
You serious?
24
00:01:14,234 --> 00:01:16,335
Yeah.
25
00:01:16,402 --> 00:01:18,370
Thanks, buddy.
26
00:01:18,438 --> 00:01:21,139
God bless.
27
00:01:21,207 --> 00:01:22,841
Two in the chest.
28
00:01:22,909 --> 00:01:24,276
Student biking through the alley
29
00:01:24,344 --> 00:01:26,044
Heard the shots around 21:10.
30
00:01:26,112 --> 00:01:27,579
Patrol got here quick.
31
00:01:27,647 --> 00:01:29,681
Faculty parking garage,
not exactly
32
00:01:29,749 --> 00:01:31,783
Ground zero for gun crime.
33
00:01:31,851 --> 00:01:33,051
You secure the area?
34
00:01:33,119 --> 00:01:34,186
First thing.
35
00:01:34,254 --> 00:01:36,321
No ins or outs till
you release the scene.
36
00:01:36,389 --> 00:01:38,423
No wallet or I.D.
, but we got a dormitory key card.
37
00:01:38,491 --> 00:01:40,993
let's see what else he's got.
38
00:01:43,263 --> 00:01:44,429
Oh.
39
00:01:44,497 --> 00:01:47,232
Looks like he was a business major.
40
00:01:47,300 --> 00:01:49,835
yeah, minoring in herbology.
41
00:01:49,903 --> 00:01:51,470
Looks like the campus dope dealer.
42
00:01:51,571 --> 00:01:56,308
Mark his report
card "d" for deceased
43
00:01:59,109 --> 00:02:00,109
Sub for addic7ed
www.addic7ed.com
44
00:02:46,325 --> 00:02:47,592
Dealers. Good riddance.
45
00:02:47,660 --> 00:02:49,961
There's a bunch of
latinos over on 125th.
46
00:02:50,029 --> 00:02:51,329
My guys keep 'em off campus.
47
00:02:51,397 --> 00:02:52,697
Yeah.
48
00:02:52,765 --> 00:02:55,133
We're gonna need the
security videos for the garage.
49
00:02:55,201 --> 00:02:57,135
There's only one camera.
50
00:02:57,203 --> 00:02:58,737
It covers the exit.
51
00:02:58,805 --> 00:03:00,639
But the rains this summer
knocked it out of commission.
52
00:03:00,706 --> 00:03:03,208
Okay, we'll need a list of
all the faculty who park there.
53
00:03:03,276 --> 00:03:04,943
That I got.
54
00:03:05,011 --> 00:03:06,511
Okay, it's ready.
55
00:03:06,579 --> 00:03:10,248
And your john doe is...
56
00:03:10,316 --> 00:03:14,152
Hayley kozlow?
57
00:03:14,220 --> 00:03:15,554
It's greg.
58
00:03:15,621 --> 00:03:17,689
Greg tanner.
59
00:03:17,757 --> 00:03:20,192
He's been crashing here.
60
00:03:20,259 --> 00:03:23,195
I can't believe this.
61
00:03:23,262 --> 00:03:24,830
How'd you know him?
62
00:03:24,897 --> 00:03:26,598
We met at the cafeteria.
63
00:03:26,666 --> 00:03:27,966
He's not a student or anything.
64
00:03:28,034 --> 00:03:29,568
He said he had a sister here.
65
00:03:29,635 --> 00:03:32,571
He was mature and nice.
66
00:03:32,638 --> 00:03:34,473
Really nice.
67
00:03:34,540 --> 00:03:36,675
His duffel bag's military issue.
68
00:03:36,742 --> 00:03:38,210
Was he in the service?
69
00:03:38,277 --> 00:03:39,611
Yeah.
70
00:03:39,679 --> 00:03:42,314
Um, greg said he had
nightmares from it.
71
00:03:42,381 --> 00:03:44,116
But we didn't talk much, you know?
72
00:03:44,183 --> 00:03:45,984
You talk about this?
73
00:03:46,052 --> 00:03:47,519
Oh, my god.
74
00:03:47,587 --> 00:03:50,856
If I knew about that,
I swear he would have been gone.
75
00:03:50,923 --> 00:03:52,290
Was anyone giving him trouble?
76
00:03:52,358 --> 00:03:53,758
I don't know.
77
00:03:53,826 --> 00:03:56,061
Last Saturday I saw him
outside of rocco's.
78
00:03:56,129 --> 00:03:58,163
He was getting into it
with some hispanic guy,
79
00:03:58,231 --> 00:04:01,133
But greg said it was nothing.
80
00:04:02,602 --> 00:04:04,169
We've got a winner.
81
00:04:04,237 --> 00:04:05,470
Wait here.
82
00:04:05,538 --> 00:04:07,372
Hey, the m.E.'s confirmed it.
83
00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:09,207
There's no stippling or
powder burns on tanner,
84
00:04:09,275 --> 00:04:11,443
So figure he was shot from
at least three feet away.
85
00:04:11,511 --> 00:04:12,677
Mm-hmm.
86
00:04:12,745 --> 00:04:14,045
There's a young woman downstairs,
87
00:04:14,113 --> 00:04:16,248
Just in from pittsburgh,
looks very upset.
88
00:04:16,315 --> 00:04:17,983
It's the sister of
our campus dealer.
89
00:04:18,050 --> 00:04:20,252
We have any progress
to report to her?
90
00:04:20,319 --> 00:04:21,953
Well, our witness
picked out this guy
91
00:04:22,021 --> 00:04:23,889
As someone tanner was
having a beef with.
92
00:04:23,956 --> 00:04:26,491
Manny lopez, works with
a drug crew on 125th.
93
00:04:26,559 --> 00:04:28,460
So maybe this was a turf dispute.
94
00:04:28,528 --> 00:04:31,096
Slugs came back to a .
22, but they were fragmented.
95
00:04:31,164 --> 00:04:32,931
Even if we do find a weapon,
96
00:04:32,999 --> 00:04:34,366
Matching ballistics will be iffy.
97
00:04:34,433 --> 00:04:37,369
All right, let's go
talk to miss tanner.
98
00:04:37,436 --> 00:04:39,070
oh, my god.
99
00:04:39,138 --> 00:04:41,439
My big brother.
100
00:04:41,507 --> 00:04:45,177
When was the last
time you saw him?
101
00:04:45,244 --> 00:04:48,113
It was just two days ago.
102
00:04:48,181 --> 00:04:49,414
I had to leave school.
103
00:04:49,482 --> 00:04:51,783
My financial aid fell through.
104
00:04:51,851 --> 00:04:55,387
Greg said not to go,
that he'd help me.
105
00:04:55,454 --> 00:04:58,223
Megan, how did he end
up living on campus?
106
00:04:58,291 --> 00:05:00,625
It was because of me.
107
00:05:00,693 --> 00:05:02,527
After he got out of the service,
108
00:05:02,595 --> 00:05:04,596
He had no place else to go.
109
00:05:04,664 --> 00:05:06,431
My mom's at a home in pittsburgh.
110
00:05:06,499 --> 00:05:07,666
She's got parkinson's.
111
00:05:07,733 --> 00:05:10,035
Dad died when I was ten.
112
00:05:10,102 --> 00:05:15,440
Greg joined the marines
so he could be like him.
113
00:05:15,508 --> 00:05:17,242
Here.
114
00:05:18,344 --> 00:05:21,446
He never said where they sent him,
115
00:05:21,514 --> 00:05:24,015
But me and my mom would get emails,
116
00:05:24,083 --> 00:05:25,917
A phone call at christmas.
117
00:05:25,985 --> 00:05:27,986
Then he showed up
at my dorm one day.
118
00:05:28,054 --> 00:05:30,188
He'd been discharged.
119
00:05:30,256 --> 00:05:33,258
But he didn't come
back the same guy.
120
00:05:33,326 --> 00:05:34,893
How was he different?
121
00:05:34,961 --> 00:05:38,230
He got anxious a lot.
122
00:05:38,297 --> 00:05:40,432
He needed help, but I think
he was having problems
123
00:05:40,499 --> 00:05:42,000
Getting his army benefits.
124
00:05:42,068 --> 00:05:45,737
Megan, do you know what your
brother was doing on campus?
125
00:05:45,805 --> 00:05:48,540
I think auditing classes.
126
00:05:48,608 --> 00:05:50,942
I didn't see him much
the last few weeks.
127
00:05:51,010 --> 00:05:52,811
Why?
128
00:05:52,878 --> 00:05:55,580
We believe he was dealing drugs.
129
00:05:55,648 --> 00:05:58,984
Oh, god.
130
00:05:59,051 --> 00:06:00,752
Greg.
131
00:06:00,820 --> 00:06:03,255
He met this girl.
132
00:06:03,322 --> 00:06:04,990
I wanted to give him space.
133
00:06:05,057 --> 00:06:07,158
I should have--
134
00:06:07,226 --> 00:06:09,594
Oh, my god. I lost him.
135
00:06:09,662 --> 00:06:11,663
Excuse me.
136
00:06:20,039 --> 00:06:23,408
That last time you
saw your brother...
137
00:06:23,476 --> 00:06:27,312
What did the two of you talk about?
138
00:06:27,380 --> 00:06:30,482
He said he'd get
me money for school.
139
00:06:30,549 --> 00:06:35,520
That he was working
on something big.
140
00:06:35,588 --> 00:06:37,756
The woman has seen it all.
141
00:06:37,823 --> 00:06:41,293
Now one tale of woe and
she suddenly goes soft?
142
00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:43,028
Well, if she hears
you talking like this,
143
00:06:43,095 --> 00:06:44,629
You're gonna be eating
through a straw.
144
00:06:44,697 --> 00:06:46,665
Now that's the lieutenant I know.
145
00:06:46,732 --> 00:06:49,534
No, the something big
the sister mentioned
146
00:06:49,602 --> 00:06:51,202
Could have been a drug score.
147
00:06:51,270 --> 00:06:52,537
Could be how tanner got himself
148
00:06:52,605 --> 00:06:53,905
Into a beef with the competition.
149
00:06:53,973 --> 00:06:56,007
So they ambush him
in the faculty garage?
150
00:06:56,075 --> 00:06:58,877
Or maybe they followed him there?
151
00:06:58,944 --> 00:07:01,913
Could be he was meeting a client.
152
00:07:01,981 --> 00:07:03,682
Professor pothead.
153
00:07:03,749 --> 00:07:05,083
Take this guy for example.
154
00:07:05,151 --> 00:07:09,087
A law professor by the
name of kevin franklin.
155
00:07:09,155 --> 00:07:10,922
In the garage every day at 1:00.
156
00:07:10,990 --> 00:07:12,457
Out by 9:15.
157
00:07:12,525 --> 00:07:14,693
Except the day that
tanner's killed.
158
00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:15,894
Really?
159
00:07:15,961 --> 00:07:17,595
Franklin breaks his pattern.
160
00:07:17,663 --> 00:07:19,698
Leaves his car in the
garage overnight.
161
00:07:19,765 --> 00:07:22,867
Drives it out the next day at noon.
162
00:07:25,805 --> 00:07:27,639
He looks vaguely familiar.
163
00:07:27,707 --> 00:07:29,474
I might have seen
him around campus.
164
00:07:29,542 --> 00:07:31,109
And how about the faculty garage
165
00:07:31,177 --> 00:07:32,877
Wednesday night, say around 9:00?
166
00:07:32,945 --> 00:07:34,112
I wasn't in the garage Wednesday.
167
00:07:34,180 --> 00:07:35,613
If you'll excuse me,
168
00:07:35,681 --> 00:07:37,349
I have a class of law
students waiting.
169
00:07:37,416 --> 00:07:39,784
Actually, we have a
few more questions.
170
00:07:39,852 --> 00:07:40,985
You'll have to call me later.
171
00:07:41,053 --> 00:07:43,088
Not so fast, professor.
172
00:07:43,155 --> 00:07:45,423
We believe that you
were in that garage
173
00:07:45,491 --> 00:07:47,859
Maybe to do a little
business with mr. Tanner.
174
00:07:47,927 --> 00:07:49,394
Business?
175
00:07:49,462 --> 00:07:51,396
Score a little pot for
your weekend barbecue?
176
00:07:51,464 --> 00:07:52,630
Are you kidding me?
177
00:07:52,698 --> 00:07:54,099
I used to work for the
department of justice.
178
00:07:54,166 --> 00:07:56,201
Look, we don't care if you
like the occasional joint.
179
00:07:56,268 --> 00:07:57,535
Well, I don't.
180
00:07:57,603 --> 00:07:58,903
And if I saw something,
I assure you
181
00:07:58,971 --> 00:08:00,872
I know my obligations,
but I wasn't in the garage.
182
00:08:00,940 --> 00:08:02,073
Then tell us why you left
183
00:08:02,141 --> 00:08:03,508
Your car there overnight Wednesday.
184
00:08:03,576 --> 00:08:05,310
I finished teaching
my class around 9:00.
185
00:08:05,378 --> 00:08:07,946
I went to wordplay on
amsterdam to buy a book.
186
00:08:08,013 --> 00:08:09,247
What book?
187
00:08:09,315 --> 00:08:10,648
John rawls' theory of justice.
188
00:08:10,716 --> 00:08:12,384
The new annotated edition.
You buy it?
189
00:08:12,451 --> 00:08:14,152
No, there was a
line at the cashier,
190
00:08:14,220 --> 00:08:15,387
So I walked back to the garage,
191
00:08:15,454 --> 00:08:16,988
But the police had
already sealed it off.
192
00:08:17,056 --> 00:08:18,189
What time was this?
193
00:08:18,257 --> 00:08:20,024
Just after 9:30, I guess.
194
00:08:20,092 --> 00:08:21,893
My wife was waiting up,
so I got a cab
195
00:08:21,961 --> 00:08:23,928
To grand central and I
caught the last metro
196
00:08:23,996 --> 00:08:27,632
North to hastings.
197
00:08:27,700 --> 00:08:28,833
Right.
198
00:08:28,901 --> 00:08:30,635
The new rawls' edition
came in last week.
199
00:08:30,703 --> 00:08:31,903
What kind of traffic did you have
200
00:08:31,971 --> 00:08:33,238
At the register Wednesday night?
201
00:08:33,305 --> 00:08:35,273
Traffic? You're joking, right?
202
00:08:35,341 --> 00:08:37,142
This place is dead after dinner.
203
00:08:37,209 --> 00:08:39,144
Dead.
204
00:08:39,211 --> 00:08:40,478
Great.
205
00:08:40,546 --> 00:08:43,982
Hey, just ran kevin
franklin through the system.
206
00:08:44,049 --> 00:08:46,084
He was arrested in
hastings last year.
207
00:08:46,152 --> 00:08:47,452
Get this.
208
00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:48,653
On a cpw.
209
00:08:48,721 --> 00:08:51,189
Cpw? How sweet is that?
210
00:08:51,257 --> 00:08:53,191
Mr. Franklin got
into a fender bender
211
00:08:53,259 --> 00:08:55,126
On north street with a max epstein.
212
00:08:55,194 --> 00:08:56,561
And the cpw?
213
00:08:56,629 --> 00:08:58,630
Epstein claimed
franklin flashed a weapon.
214
00:08:58,697 --> 00:09:00,432
That was an exaggeration,
but franklin
215
00:09:00,499 --> 00:09:02,033
Was carrying a piece
in the hip holster.
216
00:09:02,101 --> 00:09:04,202
He said he had a carrier permit,
but he couldn't produce it,
217
00:09:04,270 --> 00:09:05,637
So the officer took him in.
218
00:09:05,704 --> 00:09:07,172
Did he have a permit?
219
00:09:07,239 --> 00:09:08,273
Turns out he did.
220
00:09:08,340 --> 00:09:09,374
Full carry for westchester
221
00:09:09,442 --> 00:09:10,775
And a special permit
for new york city.
222
00:09:10,843 --> 00:09:12,410
The charge was dropped.
223
00:09:12,478 --> 00:09:13,578
What kind of weapon did he have?
224
00:09:13,646 --> 00:09:16,448
.22 caliber smith and wesson.
225
00:09:16,515 --> 00:09:19,150
Sweeter and sweeter.
226
00:09:23,117 --> 00:09:24,651
Franklin's alibi doesn't hold up.
227
00:09:24,719 --> 00:09:25,986
Plus he got his timeline wrong.
228
00:09:26,054 --> 00:09:28,589
Yeah, franklin said he
couldn't get his car at 9:30
229
00:09:28,656 --> 00:09:30,057
Because the garage was sealedff,
230
00:09:30,124 --> 00:09:33,427
But the first unit wasn't
on the scene until 9:45.
231
00:09:33,494 --> 00:09:35,195
So tell me why he
killed greg tanner.
232
00:09:35,263 --> 00:09:36,563
Money.
233
00:09:36,631 --> 00:09:39,566
Greg told his sister he was
working on something big.
234
00:09:39,634 --> 00:09:41,869
Our guess is he tried
his hand at blackmail.
235
00:09:41,936 --> 00:09:43,403
Yeah, franklin's a tenure-track
236
00:09:43,471 --> 00:09:45,138
Assistant professor of law.
237
00:09:45,206 --> 00:09:47,674
It comes out he's buying pot,
he's got a lot to lose.
238
00:09:47,742 --> 00:09:49,376
Academic post, law license.
239
00:09:49,444 --> 00:09:51,278
None of which adds
up to probable cause
240
00:09:51,346 --> 00:09:52,913
For a warrant for his gun.
241
00:09:52,981 --> 00:09:55,616
We can always say,
"pretty please with a cherry on top."
242
00:09:55,683 --> 00:09:59,152
Call me when you have some p.C.
243
00:09:59,220 --> 00:10:02,322
Look, you guys need to
tie franklin to tanner.
244
00:10:02,390 --> 00:10:05,158
Calls, meetings,
evidence of bad blood.
245
00:10:08,529 --> 00:10:11,999
I have to take this.
246
00:10:12,066 --> 00:10:13,934
Look, this case won't clear itself
247
00:10:14,002 --> 00:10:16,570
With you guys sitting on your ass.
248
00:10:16,638 --> 00:10:18,906
Hey.
249
00:10:18,973 --> 00:10:21,441
I never heard greg mention
a professor franklin.
250
00:10:21,509 --> 00:10:23,644
Conflict of laws. Civil rights.
251
00:10:23,711 --> 00:10:25,245
You want to be a lawyer?
252
00:10:25,313 --> 00:10:26,914
Uh, those are greg's.
253
00:10:26,981 --> 00:10:29,850
Is there anything else up
there that belongs to him?
254
00:10:29,918 --> 00:10:32,853
That folder's not mine.
255
00:10:32,921 --> 00:10:34,955
Hey, I got to go to
a spin class, okay?
256
00:10:35,023 --> 00:10:36,490
Just don't mess with my stuff.
257
00:10:36,557 --> 00:10:37,557
We got you.
258
00:10:37,625 --> 00:10:38,926
Have fun spinning.
259
00:10:38,993 --> 00:10:41,395
Oh.
260
00:10:41,462 --> 00:10:42,863
Look at this.
261
00:10:42,931 --> 00:10:47,034
Course syllabus for
franklin's con law classes.
262
00:10:47,101 --> 00:10:49,069
And this.
263
00:10:51,139 --> 00:10:53,040
I need your help with the v.A.
264
00:10:53,107 --> 00:10:54,608
If you just go on record--
265
00:10:54,676 --> 00:10:56,076
I don't know what
you're talking about.
266
00:10:56,144 --> 00:10:57,744
I can't do this without you.
267
00:10:57,812 --> 00:10:59,046
Please, you owe .
268
00:10:59,113 --> 00:11:00,747
Just get that thing
out of my face.
269
00:11:03,885 --> 00:11:05,385
That bad blood seems to be
270
00:11:05,453 --> 00:11:06,720
About the veterans administration.
271
00:11:06,788 --> 00:11:08,422
Tanner's sister said
he was having trouble
272
00:11:08,489 --> 00:11:10,390
Getting benefits.
273
00:11:12,860 --> 00:11:14,261
Sergeant tanner
received counseling
274
00:11:14,329 --> 00:11:16,029
For 30 days post-discharge.
275
00:11:16,097 --> 00:11:18,865
After that, his temporary
benefits lapsed.
276
00:11:18,933 --> 00:11:20,367
Okay, what was
the counseling for?
277
00:11:20,435 --> 00:11:22,002
Come on, you know I
can't get into that.
278
00:11:22,070 --> 00:11:23,403
How about what type
of discharge he got?
279
00:11:23,471 --> 00:11:24,438
That's not classified.
280
00:11:24,505 --> 00:11:26,006
- He got a 5
-13 discharge.
281
00:11:26,074 --> 00:11:27,174
Separation from service due
282
00:11:27,241 --> 00:11:29,409
To a pre-existing
personality disorder.
283
00:11:29,477 --> 00:11:31,845
Pre-existing, meaning
whatever was wrong with him,
284
00:11:31,913 --> 00:11:33,647
It wasn't service-connected,
meaning the military's
285
00:11:33,715 --> 00:11:35,515
Not on the hook for
his long-term care.
286
00:11:35,583 --> 00:11:36,883
that's how it works.
287
00:11:36,951 --> 00:11:38,885
A guy humps it for his
country for eight years.
288
00:11:38,953 --> 00:11:40,354
He comes home and then uncle sam
289
00:11:40,421 --> 00:11:41,822
Just kicks him to the curb.
290
00:11:41,889 --> 00:11:43,657
Does that seem fair, doc?
291
00:11:43,725 --> 00:11:45,592
No, not for a
soldier who required
292
00:11:45,660 --> 00:11:47,527
Post-traumatic stress
disorder from doing
293
00:11:47,595 --> 00:11:49,229
Guard duty at abu ghraib.
294
00:11:49,297 --> 00:11:51,465
Greg was guarding terrorists?
295
00:11:51,532 --> 00:11:54,868
He said what he saw
kept him up nights.
296
00:11:57,005 --> 00:11:59,172
From the stuff that
tanner has underlined,
297
00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:01,074
Looks like he was
preparing a lawsuit
298
00:12:01,142 --> 00:12:02,743
To have his benefits reinstated.
299
00:12:02,810 --> 00:12:04,478
And he wanted franklin
to represent him.
300
00:12:04,545 --> 00:12:09,316
Can I get your attention, please?
301
00:12:09,384 --> 00:12:11,118
Uh, listen.
302
00:12:11,185 --> 00:12:14,021
Last week, I was
diagnosed with cancer.
303
00:12:14,088 --> 00:12:17,024
It's manageable,
but I have to start
304
00:12:17,091 --> 00:12:18,859
Treatment immediately.
305
00:12:18,926 --> 00:12:20,794
I'm telling you this because
I'll be coming and going
306
00:12:20,862 --> 00:12:24,197
More than usual and I don't
want any tongues wagging.
307
00:12:24,265 --> 00:12:26,833
Oh, and before I forget,
the chief of ds
308
00:12:26,901 --> 00:12:28,802
Is coming down hard on the fives,
309
00:12:28,870 --> 00:12:30,604
Or should I say the lack of them.
310
00:12:30,671 --> 00:12:35,042
You're all big boys and girls,
so get them done on time.
311
00:12:35,109 --> 00:12:37,277
Uh, loo?
312
00:12:37,345 --> 00:12:38,812
Yeah, what you got?
313
00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:40,347
It looks like tanner
was after franklin
314
00:12:40,415 --> 00:12:41,948
To help him sue the government
315
00:12:42,016 --> 00:12:43,250
Over his veteran benefits.
316
00:12:43,317 --> 00:12:45,218
Except franklin's a
constitutional scholar,
317
00:12:45,286 --> 00:12:46,620
Not a benefits expert.
318
00:12:46,687 --> 00:12:48,622
We'll talk to some of
franklin's colleagues.
319
00:12:48,689 --> 00:12:49,956
See what they know.
320
00:12:50,024 --> 00:12:52,192
- Hey, loo.
- Yeah?
321
00:12:52,260 --> 00:12:55,429
Sorry.
322
00:12:55,496 --> 00:12:57,564
Yeah.
323
00:13:03,638 --> 00:13:06,406
Professor franklin never
mentioned a greg tanner.
324
00:13:06,474 --> 00:13:07,841
I highly doubt that
he'd have anything to do
325
00:13:07,909 --> 00:13:09,076
With a drug dealer.
326
00:13:09,143 --> 00:13:11,311
He's wound tighter
than a swiss watch.
327
00:13:11,379 --> 00:13:12,913
He sounds pretty tough
to get along with.
328
00:13:12,980 --> 00:13:14,414
He's very competitive.
329
00:13:14,482 --> 00:13:16,316
We're both up for tenure,
except I don't have
330
00:13:16,384 --> 00:13:18,485
His fancy government pedigree.
331
00:13:18,553 --> 00:13:21,755
Not that I'm suggesting that
he's unqualified, mind you.
332
00:13:21,823 --> 00:13:23,757
Just that he's very well connected.
333
00:13:23,825 --> 00:13:26,326
He must be.
334
00:13:26,394 --> 00:13:28,595
Not too many law professors
carry permits for handguns.
335
00:13:28,663 --> 00:13:29,729
That's because of the work he did
336
00:13:29,797 --> 00:13:31,465
For the department of justice.
337
00:13:31,532 --> 00:13:32,899
What kind of work?
Drug enforcement?
338
00:13:32,967 --> 00:13:34,201
No, all I can tell you is that
339
00:13:34,268 --> 00:13:36,336
A number of bush
administration documents
340
00:13:36,404 --> 00:13:38,605
Have recently been declassified,
341
00:13:38,673 --> 00:13:42,042
Including a few memos
that franklin wrote.
342
00:13:42,110 --> 00:13:45,378
And, uh, you didn't
hear it from me.
343
00:13:45,446 --> 00:13:47,747
Mmm.
344
00:13:47,815 --> 00:13:50,784
"techniques that may be
used in interrogation
345
00:13:50,852 --> 00:13:53,453
Of high-value al-qaeda detainees."
346
00:13:53,521 --> 00:13:55,655
Now there's a sexy title.
347
00:13:55,723 --> 00:13:57,090
These declassified documents
348
00:13:57,158 --> 00:13:58,992
Are all about handling
terrorist suspects.
349
00:13:59,060 --> 00:14:01,194
This one says the president
can send the army
350
00:14:01,262 --> 00:14:03,130
Into american neighborhoods
to make arrests.
351
00:14:03,197 --> 00:14:05,799
Here's one that franklin wrote.
352
00:14:05,867 --> 00:14:08,068
"legal standards
governing the detention
353
00:14:08,136 --> 00:14:10,904
And interrogation of
unlawful enemy combatants."
354
00:14:10,972 --> 00:14:13,440
The entire playbook for
gitmo and abu ghraib.
355
00:14:13,508 --> 00:14:15,542
The playbook that set
the working conditions
356
00:14:15,610 --> 00:14:17,177
For guards like tanner.
357
00:14:17,245 --> 00:14:19,713
The conditions that caused
his post-traumatic stress.
358
00:14:19,780 --> 00:14:22,048
Tanner might have
seen it that way.
359
00:14:22,116 --> 00:14:24,684
And blamedranklin.
He said franklin owed him.
360
00:14:24,752 --> 00:14:26,686
Maybe this was the payday
tanner was talking about.
361
00:14:26,754 --> 00:14:28,822
Money from franklin for
his pain and suffering.
362
00:14:28,890 --> 00:14:30,323
There's your bad blood.
363
00:14:30,391 --> 00:14:32,225
And our probable
cause for a search.
364
00:14:32,293 --> 00:14:34,060
Let's go.
365
00:14:34,128 --> 00:14:36,897
Connie, I think we got our p.
C. On franklin.
366
00:14:36,964 --> 00:14:39,065
You guys are about
five minutes late.
367
00:14:39,133 --> 00:14:41,034
Come on in, detectives.
368
00:14:41,102 --> 00:14:42,903
Professor franklin
here just confessed
369
00:14:42,970 --> 00:14:45,071
To shooting greg tanner.
370
00:14:45,139 --> 00:14:46,540
He even brought the gun.
371
00:14:46,607 --> 00:14:48,675
Professor franklin
was being stalked
372
00:14:48,743 --> 00:14:50,310
By a mentally disturbed lunatic
373
00:14:50,378 --> 00:14:52,245
Who had accosted
him in a stairwell.
374
00:14:52,313 --> 00:14:54,581
If this office intends
to file charges,
375
00:14:54,649 --> 00:14:57,317
My client will be
arguing self-defense.
376
00:14:57,385 --> 00:15:00,687
Of myself and my country.
377
00:15:08,339 --> 00:15:09,639
A plea?
378
00:15:09,707 --> 00:15:10,673
First you push for
a million in bail
379
00:15:10,741 --> 00:15:11,808
And now you expect
us to take a plea?
380
00:15:11,876 --> 00:15:14,010
We're here as a
courtesy to give you
381
00:15:14,078 --> 00:15:15,779
A chance to drop this charge
382
00:15:15,846 --> 00:15:17,213
Before we publicly embarrass you.
383
00:15:17,281 --> 00:15:20,683
He shot an unarmed war
veteran from three feet away
384
00:15:20,751 --> 00:15:22,385
And we're the ones who are
supposed to be embarrassed?
385
00:15:22,453 --> 00:15:24,554
He shot a trained
killer who blamed him
386
00:15:24,622 --> 00:15:26,489
For his mental problems,
demanded money,
387
00:15:26,557 --> 00:15:28,391
And then threatened him
when he said, "no."
388
00:15:28,459 --> 00:15:30,593
It's a perfect
case of self-defense
389
00:15:30,661 --> 00:15:33,329
Except for the running away,
the lying.
390
00:15:33,397 --> 00:15:36,132
All of which evinces a
consciousness of guilt.
391
00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:38,168
Now he can plead
to manslaughter one
392
00:15:38,235 --> 00:15:39,636
Or starting tomorrow, a grand jury
393
00:15:39,703 --> 00:15:41,337
Will hear all about his deceptions.
394
00:15:41,405 --> 00:15:43,373
No, they won't.
395
00:15:43,441 --> 00:15:46,342
What's that?
396
00:15:46,410 --> 00:15:49,646
A writ of prohibition
to exclude all statements
397
00:15:49,713 --> 00:15:52,715
My client made to the
police on the grounds
398
00:15:52,783 --> 00:15:55,685
That their interview
with him was custodial
399
00:15:55,753 --> 00:16:01,491
And he should have been mirandized.
400
00:16:01,559 --> 00:16:03,326
The judge threw it all out.
401
00:16:03,394 --> 00:16:04,394
His phony alibi.
402
00:16:04,462 --> 00:16:06,062
His claims of not knowing tanner.
403
00:16:06,130 --> 00:16:08,064
I mean, in short, everything
that makes him look guilty.
404
00:16:08,132 --> 00:16:10,100
I can count on the
fingers of one hand
405
00:16:10,167 --> 00:16:11,534
The times I've seen a writ used
406
00:16:11,602 --> 00:16:13,303
To keep evidence out
of the grand jury.
407
00:16:13,370 --> 00:16:15,505
Not just any writ,
but one franklin
408
00:16:15,573 --> 00:16:17,240
Dashed off during a plea conference
409
00:16:17,308 --> 00:16:19,109
Complete with citations.
410
00:16:19,176 --> 00:16:21,177
Brilliant.
411
00:16:21,245 --> 00:16:22,846
Any evidence he killed tanner
412
00:16:22,913 --> 00:16:24,481
For reasons other
than self-defense?
413
00:16:24,548 --> 00:16:25,582
Nothing.
414
00:16:25,649 --> 00:16:26,883
The only one who'd know is tanner.
415
00:16:26,951 --> 00:16:28,685
And, well, he's not talking.
416
00:16:28,752 --> 00:16:29,953
Thanks.
417
00:16:30,020 --> 00:16:33,423
Oh, it's from franklin.
418
00:16:33,491 --> 00:16:36,326
He's asserting his right
to address the grand jury.
419
00:16:36,393 --> 00:16:37,560
Sure.
420
00:16:37,628 --> 00:16:38,962
First, get rid of as
many inconvenient facts
421
00:16:39,029 --> 00:16:40,830
As possible and then
spin what's left
422
00:16:40,898 --> 00:16:42,565
Into a self-serving tale.
423
00:16:42,633 --> 00:16:43,867
Yeah, the law-abiding professor
424
00:16:43,934 --> 00:16:45,602
Versus the deranged drug dealer.
425
00:16:45,669 --> 00:16:47,470
Spin it the other way.
426
00:16:47,538 --> 00:16:50,573
Make greg tanner as cuddly
as a week-old puppy.
427
00:16:54,979 --> 00:16:56,746
Greg was smart.
428
00:16:56,814 --> 00:16:59,949
People liked him.
429
00:17:00,017 --> 00:17:03,920
He believed in serving
the greater good.
430
00:17:03,988 --> 00:17:08,191
But when he was over
there in the war,
431
00:17:08,259 --> 00:17:10,226
Something inside him broke.
432
00:17:10,294 --> 00:17:12,228
He suffered from
post-traumatic stress.
433
00:17:12,296 --> 00:17:14,364
That's what his
psychiatrist told him.
434
00:17:14,431 --> 00:17:16,666
He worked in the prisons.
435
00:17:16,734 --> 00:17:18,468
He saw interrogations.
436
00:17:18,536 --> 00:17:21,804
People being hurt,
being hanged in a shower room.
437
00:17:21,872 --> 00:17:23,006
He had nightmares.
438
00:17:23,073 --> 00:17:26,643
He couldn't keep a job.
439
00:17:26,710 --> 00:17:30,146
Mr. Tanner approached
me one night after class.
440
00:17:30,214 --> 00:17:33,416
He told me about his grievance
over his military discharge.
441
00:17:33,484 --> 00:17:36,553
He wanted my help suing to
have his benefits reinstated.
442
00:17:36,620 --> 00:17:39,289
He thought because I worked
for the department of justice
443
00:17:39,356 --> 00:17:40,356
Under the bush administration
444
00:17:40,424 --> 00:17:42,358
That I had some special expertise.
445
00:17:42,426 --> 00:17:44,294
What work
specifically did you do?
446
00:17:44,361 --> 00:17:47,197
I wrote advisory memos
governing the manner
447
00:17:47,264 --> 00:17:49,165
In which suspected
terrorists were held.
448
00:17:49,233 --> 00:17:52,202
Because mr. Tanner
guarded those detainees,
449
00:17:52,269 --> 00:17:54,571
He thought I had insights
into the conditions
450
00:17:54,638 --> 00:17:56,172
That had caused his
post-traumatic stress.
451
00:17:56,240 --> 00:17:58,741
I told him he needed a specialist
452
00:17:58,809 --> 00:18:01,177
In healthcare litigation.
453
00:18:01,245 --> 00:18:02,412
I thought that that
was the end of it,
454
00:18:02,479 --> 00:18:04,948
But a week later,
he confronted me at the garage.
455
00:18:05,015 --> 00:18:07,083
He was agitated. He demanded money.
456
00:18:07,151 --> 00:18:11,454
He said that I was responsible
for his mental problems.
457
00:18:11,522 --> 00:18:14,857
I tried to reason with him,
but he wouldn't let me leave.
458
00:18:14,925 --> 00:18:16,926
I was trapped by this
deranged ex-soldier.
459
00:18:16,994 --> 00:18:18,628
Did he actually
threaten to kill you?
460
00:18:18,696 --> 00:18:20,797
I was in fear for my life.
461
00:18:20,864 --> 00:18:23,366
He kept saying,
"you're not leaving."
462
00:18:23,434 --> 00:18:27,070
And then he started
toward me and that's--
463
00:18:27,137 --> 00:18:29,739
That's when I shot him.
464
00:18:29,807 --> 00:18:32,308
He fell. He stopped moving.
465
00:18:32,376 --> 00:18:34,244
What did you do then?
Did you call the police?
466
00:18:34,311 --> 00:18:35,878
Somebody else did.
467
00:18:35,946 --> 00:18:37,280
I wish that I had had
the presence of mind
468
00:18:37,348 --> 00:18:39,949
To stay calm, but I was in shock.
469
00:18:40,017 --> 00:18:43,052
And it took you four days
to regain your composure
470
00:18:43,120 --> 00:18:45,154
And turn yourself in to the police.
471
00:18:45,222 --> 00:18:47,023
No, I was in contact
with the police
472
00:18:47,091 --> 00:18:48,491
Before the formality
of my surrender.
473
00:18:48,559 --> 00:18:50,193
You were in contact?
474
00:18:50,261 --> 00:18:51,861
Please, describe those contacts.
475
00:18:51,929 --> 00:18:54,264
Mr. Cutter, I would be
happy to tell the grand jury
476
00:18:54,331 --> 00:18:55,832
What I discussed with the police,
477
00:18:55,899 --> 00:18:58,134
But there's a judicial writ
prohibiting me from doing so,
478
00:18:58,202 --> 00:19:01,170
Because of the misbehavior
of your detectives.
479
00:19:04,108 --> 00:19:05,775
He cooperated from the get-go.
480
00:19:05,843 --> 00:19:07,443
It was the police who misbehaved.
481
00:19:07,511 --> 00:19:08,978
I let myself get bushwhacked.
482
00:19:09,046 --> 00:19:10,513
Twice.
483
00:19:10,581 --> 00:19:12,482
We got bushwhacked twice.
484
00:19:12,549 --> 00:19:14,617
Tanner's sister told the
police that he never
485
00:19:14,685 --> 00:19:16,219
Talked to her about
his service in iraq,
486
00:19:16,287 --> 00:19:19,222
But she testified that he
witnessed interrogations.
487
00:19:19,290 --> 00:19:21,624
She might have gotten that
from news reports on the case.
488
00:19:21,692 --> 00:19:24,761
No, she said he saw people
hanged in a shower room.
489
00:19:24,828 --> 00:19:26,262
That wasn't in the news.
490
00:19:28,666 --> 00:19:31,934
Thanks.
491
00:19:32,002 --> 00:19:33,269
No bill.
492
00:19:33,337 --> 00:19:35,004
Grand jury bought franklin's story.
493
00:19:35,072 --> 00:19:37,607
Next stop, megan tanner?
494
00:19:37,675 --> 00:19:39,309
I told the police the truth.
495
00:19:39,376 --> 00:19:40,810
Greg never said anything to me.
496
00:19:40,878 --> 00:19:43,179
Well, then where did you
hear about this shower room?
497
00:19:43,247 --> 00:19:46,582
My mom needs to know
that greg served with honor
498
00:19:46,650 --> 00:19:48,418
Like my dad.
499
00:19:48,485 --> 00:19:51,954
She's very sick and...
500
00:19:52,022 --> 00:19:55,058
If she ever found out
that he did that,
501
00:19:55,125 --> 00:19:56,759
Well, I don't think
she could take it.
502
00:19:56,827 --> 00:19:59,829
Why? What did he do?
503
00:20:04,535 --> 00:20:08,171
When greg was living with me,
he made a video diary.
504
00:20:08,238 --> 00:20:14,010
I found it on my
computer after he died.
505
00:20:14,078 --> 00:20:17,680
We walked the detainee
into the shower room.
506
00:20:17,748 --> 00:20:21,250
He was handcuffed and he was
wearing a hood over his head.
507
00:20:21,318 --> 00:20:23,219
The interrogator
told us to hang him
508
00:20:23,287 --> 00:20:26,522
By his wrists from the
bars of a window like this
509
00:20:26,590 --> 00:20:28,791
With his hands behind
his back up high,
510
00:20:28,859 --> 00:20:30,393
So the guy can't kneel or sit
511
00:20:30,461 --> 00:20:33,129
And all the weight's
on his arms and chest.
512
00:20:33,197 --> 00:20:36,332
The 'gator said the guy
was an unlawful combatant
513
00:20:36,400 --> 00:20:37,867
And under the rules, we could do
514
00:20:37,935 --> 00:20:40,169
Whatever we want with him.
515
00:20:40,237 --> 00:20:44,173
We hooked him and we
left him with the 'gator.
516
00:20:44,241 --> 00:20:46,309
An hour later,
'gator called us back in
517
00:20:46,377 --> 00:20:50,179
And he wanted us to
reposition the detainee.
518
00:20:50,247 --> 00:20:53,116
The detainee was slumped forward.
519
00:20:53,183 --> 00:20:55,218
His arms were almost
out of their sockets.
520
00:20:55,285 --> 00:20:58,020
He wasn't responsive.
521
00:20:58,088 --> 00:21:00,223
Then we took the
hood off of his head
522
00:21:00,290 --> 00:21:05,528
And all this blood
poured out of his mouth.
523
00:21:05,596 --> 00:21:07,096
He was--
524
00:21:07,164 --> 00:21:10,900
He was dead.
525
00:21:10,968 --> 00:21:12,668
And those rules--
526
00:21:12,736 --> 00:21:15,638
Those damn rules were wrong.
527
00:21:15,706 --> 00:21:20,276
We had to live by 'em,
and it messed us up.
528
00:21:20,344 --> 00:21:22,378
I found one of the guys
who wrote the rules
529
00:21:22,446 --> 00:21:25,214
Here at the college.
530
00:21:25,282 --> 00:21:29,185
I got to get right with this.
531
00:21:29,253 --> 00:21:32,989
I didn't join the service
to murder people.
532
00:21:39,163 --> 00:21:40,997
Can we confirm this story?
533
00:21:41,064 --> 00:21:44,233
Tanner was stationed
at abu ghraib in 2003,
534
00:21:44,301 --> 00:21:46,436
And there was a death
that fit his description
535
00:21:46,503 --> 00:21:47,737
In November of that year.
536
00:21:47,805 --> 00:21:49,605
He talks about
other interrogations
537
00:21:49,673 --> 00:21:51,841
He witnessed in iraq and gitmo,
538
00:21:51,909 --> 00:21:54,510
Enhanced interrogations,
waterboardings,
539
00:21:54,578 --> 00:21:56,579
At all kept him up at night.
540
00:21:56,647 --> 00:21:57,880
Maybe that's what
was going through
541
00:21:57,948 --> 00:21:59,582
Franklin's mind
when he shot tanner.
542
00:21:59,650 --> 00:22:01,083
Maybe he thought
tanner was threatening
543
00:22:01,151 --> 00:22:02,785
To implicate him in
a death by torture.
544
00:22:02,853 --> 00:22:04,454
Franklin was bucking for tenure.
545
00:22:04,521 --> 00:22:06,722
Controversy's the
last thing he wanted.
546
00:22:06,790 --> 00:22:09,192
Now he shot tanner in a panic,
547
00:22:09,259 --> 00:22:11,961
Not to defend his life,
but to protect his position.
548
00:22:12,029 --> 00:22:13,296
Forget it.
549
00:22:13,363 --> 00:22:15,298
You had your bite
at the grand jury.
550
00:22:15,365 --> 00:22:18,201
Franklin is getting
away with killing tanner.
551
00:22:18,268 --> 00:22:20,970
This memo he wrote for
the department of justice
552
00:22:21,038 --> 00:22:22,972
Laid out the legal architecture
553
00:22:23,040 --> 00:22:24,907
Permitting the abuse of prisoners.
554
00:22:24,975 --> 00:22:28,945
Abuse that led directly
to this death in iraq.
555
00:22:29,012 --> 00:22:32,014
You could argue this
memo is an element
556
00:22:32,082 --> 00:22:33,850
In a conspiracy to commit assault
557
00:22:33,917 --> 00:22:35,885
And depraved indifference murder.
558
00:22:35,953 --> 00:22:37,386
Someone could try to argue it
559
00:22:37,454 --> 00:22:38,921
If they had jurisdiction.
560
00:22:38,989 --> 00:22:44,427
Have you looked at
the time stamp on this?
561
00:22:44,495 --> 00:22:49,732
April 10, 2003, 1 st.
Andrews plaza.
562
00:22:49,800 --> 00:22:53,402
Franklin was working at the u.
S. Attorney's office
563
00:22:53,470 --> 00:22:55,004
Downtown when he wrote it?
564
00:22:55,072 --> 00:22:59,642
Right under our noses.
565
00:22:59,710 --> 00:23:02,245
It's the jurisdictional
nexus we need
566
00:23:02,312 --> 00:23:03,379
To prosecute him.
567
00:23:03,447 --> 00:23:05,948
We already have the testimony
568
00:23:06,016 --> 00:23:08,050
Of one of his co-conspirators.
569
00:23:08,118 --> 00:23:10,052
Jack, you want to
prosecute a member
570
00:23:10,120 --> 00:23:11,888
Of the bush administration
for assaulting
571
00:23:11,955 --> 00:23:13,556
Suspected terrorists?
572
00:23:13,624 --> 00:23:17,660
The word is "torturing."
573
00:23:17,728 --> 00:23:23,266
And, yes, it's about
time somebody did.
574
00:23:23,333 --> 00:23:28,070
Draw up a bill of
indictment against franklin.
575
00:23:28,138 --> 00:23:32,708
Gladly.
576
00:23:42,046 --> 00:23:43,212
The people have met
577
00:23:43,280 --> 00:23:44,947
Their jurisdictional
requirement, mr. Granick.
578
00:23:45,015 --> 00:23:46,482
Your motion's denied.
579
00:23:46,550 --> 00:23:49,719
But, your honor,
a conspiracy charge
580
00:23:49,787 --> 00:23:52,755
Requires an agreement
between the conspirators.
581
00:23:52,823 --> 00:23:56,292
There is no agreement between mr.
Tanner and my client
582
00:23:56,360 --> 00:23:58,928
To assault prisoners in 2003.
583
00:23:58,996 --> 00:24:00,697
The agreement is
manifest by the fact
584
00:24:00,764 --> 00:24:03,099
That the recommendations in mr.
Franklin's memo
585
00:24:03,167 --> 00:24:04,434
Were conveyed by intermediaries
586
00:24:04,501 --> 00:24:07,570
To mr. Tanner in the field
and agreed to by him.
587
00:24:07,638 --> 00:24:10,573
They haven't connected the dots.
588
00:24:10,641 --> 00:24:12,442
Those intermediaries
should be named
589
00:24:12,509 --> 00:24:14,310
In the indictment
as co-conspirators
590
00:24:14,378 --> 00:24:19,348
Or the charge is
legally insufficient.
591
00:24:19,416 --> 00:24:21,384
Franklin's daring us to indict
592
00:24:21,452 --> 00:24:23,319
The whole chain of command.
593
00:24:23,387 --> 00:24:25,354
Have you actually
read franklin's memo?
594
00:24:25,422 --> 00:24:28,424
Cover to cover? No, not yet.
595
00:24:28,492 --> 00:24:31,060
Read his advice to anyone worried
596
00:24:31,128 --> 00:24:32,995
About being charged with torture.
597
00:24:33,063 --> 00:24:35,164
"if a defendant has
a good faith belief
598
00:24:35,232 --> 00:24:36,766
"that his actions will not result
599
00:24:36,834 --> 00:24:38,735
"in prolonged mental harm,
600
00:24:38,802 --> 00:24:42,004
"he lacks the specific
intent necessary
601
00:24:42,072 --> 00:24:44,774
"for his actions to
constitute torture.
602
00:24:44,842 --> 00:24:47,310
"a defendant could show
that he acted in good faith
603
00:24:47,377 --> 00:24:50,346
"by surveying the
professional literature
604
00:24:50,414 --> 00:24:52,448
"or consulting with experts.
605
00:24:52,516 --> 00:24:56,686
Good faith is a complete defense
to a charge of torture."
606
00:24:56,754 --> 00:25:00,456
He's telling the interrogators
how to circumvent the law.
607
00:25:00,524 --> 00:25:02,625
Just remember, kids,
if you're going to torture,
608
00:25:02,693 --> 00:25:04,026
Read a book first.
609
00:25:04,094 --> 00:25:07,163
They want co-conspirators?
610
00:25:07,231 --> 00:25:11,534
I'll give them co-conspirators.
611
00:25:11,602 --> 00:25:13,636
The joint chiefs of staff?
612
00:25:13,704 --> 00:25:15,471
Former secretary of defense?
613
00:25:15,539 --> 00:25:17,507
Vice president cheney?
614
00:25:17,574 --> 00:25:19,876
In for a penny,
in for a pound, mr. Cutter.
615
00:25:19,943 --> 00:25:22,145
The indictments are being
served as we speak, your honor.
616
00:25:22,212 --> 00:25:24,680
Mr. Franklin can consider
the dots connected.
617
00:25:24,748 --> 00:25:26,015
It's absurd.
618
00:25:26,083 --> 00:25:27,116
Mr. Cutter is making a mockery
619
00:25:27,184 --> 00:25:29,051
Of the conspiracy statutes.
620
00:25:29,119 --> 00:25:30,853
It's clear who's behind this.
621
00:25:30,921 --> 00:25:32,722
Jack mccoy obviously took exception
622
00:25:32,790 --> 00:25:34,724
To my boss's conduct
of the war on terror,
623
00:25:34,792 --> 00:25:36,659
And now he's politicizing
this prosecution.
624
00:25:36,727 --> 00:25:38,561
If mr. Franklin is afraid a trial
625
00:25:38,629 --> 00:25:40,429
Might embarrass his
former colleagues,
626
00:25:40,497 --> 00:25:42,832
He's always welcome to take a plea.
627
00:25:42,900 --> 00:25:45,401
I see no reason for this
indictment not to proceed.
628
00:25:45,469 --> 00:25:49,772
See you all at trial.
629
00:25:49,840 --> 00:25:50,940
So far, so good.
630
00:25:51,008 --> 00:25:52,441
This was nothing.
631
00:25:52,509 --> 00:25:53,843
The real hailstorm's gonna come
632
00:25:53,911 --> 00:25:55,144
When those indictments
start landing
633
00:25:55,212 --> 00:25:56,679
On the co-conspirator's desks.
634
00:25:56,747 --> 00:25:58,381
Our client sent us here hoping
635
00:25:58,448 --> 00:26:00,116
We can talk some sense
into you, mr. Mcy.
636
00:26:00,184 --> 00:26:02,451
You wouldn't be the first to try.
637
00:26:02,519 --> 00:26:04,887
You're going to spark
a constitutional crisis
638
00:26:04,955 --> 00:26:06,289
And that's no threat.
639
00:26:06,356 --> 00:26:08,457
Is that really the valediction
you want for your career?
640
00:26:08,525 --> 00:26:10,827
You let me worry about my career.
641
00:26:10,894 --> 00:26:13,863
And now, unless you're all
here to talk about a plea,
642
00:26:13,931 --> 00:26:14,997
There's the door.
643
00:26:15,065 --> 00:26:16,566
A plea?
644
00:26:16,633 --> 00:26:18,434
You actually believe that you,
a county d.A.,
645
00:26:18,502 --> 00:26:19,936
Can prosecute a
former vice president,
646
00:26:20,003 --> 00:26:21,838
Cabinet members for
their conduct of a war
647
00:26:21,905 --> 00:26:23,372
On foreign soil?
648
00:26:23,440 --> 00:26:26,375
I prosecuted a chilean
colonel for the murder
649
00:26:26,443 --> 00:26:28,411
Of a u.S. Citizen in santiago.
650
00:26:28,478 --> 00:26:30,313
So government officials
who torture prisoners
651
00:26:30,380 --> 00:26:33,382
On american military bases?
652
00:26:33,450 --> 00:26:35,184
Sure. Why not?
653
00:26:35,252 --> 00:26:37,253
This is why not.
654
00:26:51,735 --> 00:26:53,903
This is just the beginning.
655
00:26:53,971 --> 00:26:56,339
We'll keep churning them
out until your office
656
00:26:56,406 --> 00:26:58,507
Is drowning in motions.
657
00:27:02,946 --> 00:27:04,614
Motions for change of venue.
658
00:27:04,681 --> 00:27:06,883
Motions to dismiss, to suppress.
659
00:27:06,950 --> 00:27:08,451
Trial starts next week.
660
00:27:08,518 --> 00:27:11,120
We'll be lucky to get through
just one of these bricks.
661
00:27:11,188 --> 00:27:13,956
Strawn doesn't
represent everybody.
662
00:27:14,024 --> 00:27:15,591
We'll sever the trials.
663
00:27:15,659 --> 00:27:18,661
We'll try franklin and
his associates first.
664
00:27:18,729 --> 00:27:22,431
We convict them, then move
up the chain of command.
665
00:27:22,499 --> 00:27:24,901
Connie, assemble a team.
666
00:27:24,968 --> 00:27:27,436
Get them working on
strawn's motions.
667
00:27:37,114 --> 00:27:39,081
Cards on the table, jack.
668
00:27:39,149 --> 00:27:41,350
I think we bit off
more than we can chew,
669
00:27:41,418 --> 00:27:44,420
And I'm not even convinced
of our legal standing.
670
00:27:44,488 --> 00:27:46,455
I know.
671
00:27:46,523 --> 00:27:48,758
You value legalities over ethics,
672
00:27:48,825 --> 00:27:51,794
But sometimes doing what's
ethical is more important.
673
00:27:51,862 --> 00:27:53,396
You can insult me
all you want, jack,
674
00:27:53,463 --> 00:27:54,964
But maybe the ethical
thing to do here
675
00:27:55,032 --> 00:27:56,899
Is to save american lives.
676
00:27:56,967 --> 00:27:59,335
We're at war with people
who've sworn to kill us
677
00:27:59,403 --> 00:28:00,736
For who we are.
678
00:28:00,804 --> 00:28:02,838
It doesn't matter if
it's civilians, women,
679
00:28:02,906 --> 00:28:05,541
Children, as long as
they kill americans.
680
00:28:05,609 --> 00:28:07,877
And if we have to
use force to extract
681
00:28:07,945 --> 00:28:10,012
The information we need
to protect ourselves,
682
00:28:10,080 --> 00:28:12,748
Well, then maybe that's
the right thing to do.
683
00:28:12,816 --> 00:28:14,817
I see.
684
00:28:19,323 --> 00:28:24,093
Maybe I should find somebody
else to prosecute franklin.
685
00:28:24,161 --> 00:28:25,394
Oh, no.
686
00:28:25,462 --> 00:28:28,464
You can count on my
obsession with legalities.
687
00:28:28,532 --> 00:28:31,934
If there's a way to prove
that franklin broke the law,
688
00:28:32,002 --> 00:28:34,003
I'm your man.
689
00:28:38,241 --> 00:28:40,409
It's called a
palestinian hanging.
690
00:28:40,477 --> 00:28:42,011
It's how the north
vietnamese tortured
691
00:28:42,079 --> 00:28:44,947
Senator john mccain
when he was a p.O.W.
692
00:28:45,015 --> 00:28:47,350
It's one of the stress
positions sanctioned
693
00:28:47,417 --> 00:28:49,085
By mr. Franklin's memo.
694
00:28:49,152 --> 00:28:51,220
What other harsh
techniques are sanctioned
695
00:28:51,288 --> 00:28:53,389
By mr. Franklin's memo?
696
00:28:53,457 --> 00:28:55,024
The most well known
is waterboarding,
697
00:28:55,092 --> 00:28:58,728
Where a detainee is held down,
a cloth is placed over his face,
698
00:28:58,795 --> 00:29:00,663
And water is poured
over his mouth and nose
699
00:29:00,731 --> 00:29:02,198
To simulate drowning.
700
00:29:02,265 --> 00:29:03,866
And who, if anyone,
besides the u.S. Military
701
00:29:03,934 --> 00:29:06,869
Has used this
interrogation technique?
702
00:29:06,937 --> 00:29:08,604
The spanish inquisition.
703
00:29:08,672 --> 00:29:11,440
And after the second world war,
we convicted
704
00:29:11,508 --> 00:29:13,776
Japanese officers of war crimes
705
00:29:13,844 --> 00:29:16,045
For waterboarding our p.O.W.S.
706
00:29:16,113 --> 00:29:19,215
Now you told us that during
your career in the military,
707
00:29:19,282 --> 00:29:23,419
You participated in over a
thousand interrogations.
708
00:29:23,487 --> 00:29:26,355
Did you ever use any of
these harsh techniques?
709
00:29:26,423 --> 00:29:27,723
No, sir.
710
00:29:27,791 --> 00:29:30,059
We took down terror networks
with tools like respect,
711
00:29:30,127 --> 00:29:32,028
Rapport, cunning, and deception.
712
00:29:32,095 --> 00:29:34,997
Not the techniques in this memo?
713
00:29:35,065 --> 00:29:38,567
Besides the fact I have a
moral problem with torture,
714
00:29:38,635 --> 00:29:40,136
It doesn't work, sir.
715
00:29:40,203 --> 00:29:42,438
In fact, it works against us.
716
00:29:42,506 --> 00:29:46,575
It's hypocritical to defend
our values with torture.
717
00:29:46,643 --> 00:29:48,944
That hypocrisy is the
best recruiting tool
718
00:29:49,012 --> 00:29:50,880
You can give to the terrorists.
719
00:29:50,947 --> 00:29:53,115
Thank you.
720
00:29:56,053 --> 00:29:58,421
I want to be clear, mr. Gardner.
721
00:29:58,488 --> 00:30:01,157
If you had a terrorist
who you believed
722
00:30:01,224 --> 00:30:03,759
Had information about a dirty bomb
723
00:30:03,827 --> 00:30:07,096
Set to go off in this
city within 24 hours,
724
00:30:07,164 --> 00:30:10,633
You wouldn't avail yourself
of every possible technique
725
00:30:10,700 --> 00:30:12,635
To extract information from him?
726
00:30:12,702 --> 00:30:15,671
A man in severe
pain or mental anguish
727
00:30:15,739 --> 00:30:17,940
Will say anything to make it stop.
728
00:30:18,008 --> 00:30:21,243
If you only have 24 hours,
the last thing you want to do
729
00:30:21,311 --> 00:30:23,045
Is waste time chasing
down false leads.
730
00:30:23,113 --> 00:30:24,914
Torture just doesn't work.
731
00:30:24,981 --> 00:30:27,450
No one here's advocating
torture, mr. Gardner.
732
00:30:27,517 --> 00:30:29,018
We're talking about
harsh techniques.
733
00:30:29,086 --> 00:30:30,352
I know what we're
talking about, sir.
734
00:30:30,420 --> 00:30:33,622
I don't need a memo to
tell me what torture is.
735
00:30:36,093 --> 00:30:38,794
Jack?
736
00:30:38,862 --> 00:30:40,896
David? What a nice surprise.
737
00:30:40,964 --> 00:30:42,798
Come with me.
I'm taking the stairs.
738
00:30:42,866 --> 00:30:44,633
I need the exercise.
739
00:30:44,701 --> 00:30:47,036
So do you, kid.
740
00:30:47,104 --> 00:30:48,704
How are they treating
you in washington?
741
00:30:48,772 --> 00:30:49,939
Good.
742
00:30:50,006 --> 00:30:51,073
The attorney general's
no jack mccoy,
743
00:30:51,141 --> 00:30:52,308
But I'm learning a lot.
744
00:30:52,375 --> 00:30:53,542
Jack, they sent me here
745
00:30:53,610 --> 00:30:55,244
To talk to you about
the franklin case.
746
00:30:55,312 --> 00:30:56,645
They want you to call it off.
747
00:30:56,713 --> 00:30:58,447
The jury's empanelled,
jeopardy's attached.
748
00:30:58,515 --> 00:30:59,849
They don't care.
749
00:30:59,916 --> 00:31:01,517
They want the charges dismissed
against all the defendants.
750
00:31:01,585 --> 00:31:03,052
I don't get it.
751
00:31:03,120 --> 00:31:04,787
The new administration doesn't
have a dog in this fight.
752
00:31:04,855 --> 00:31:06,922
We can't let state
prosecutors try to hold
753
00:31:06,990 --> 00:31:09,225
Federal officials accountable
for their conduct of a war.
754
00:31:09,292 --> 00:31:10,559
It's a bad precedent.
755
00:31:10,627 --> 00:31:12,128
In any event,
the attorney general's
756
00:31:12,195 --> 00:31:14,563
Naming a special prosecutor
to investigate torre claims.
757
00:31:14,631 --> 00:31:16,232
I heard. To go
after the small fry,
758
00:31:16,299 --> 00:31:18,000
A couple of thugs in the field.
759
00:31:18,068 --> 00:31:20,603
What about the policy-makers,
the deciders?
760
00:31:20,670 --> 00:31:21,971
Right.
761
00:31:22,038 --> 00:31:24,240
They get a free pass,
because if you go after
762
00:31:24,307 --> 00:31:26,375
The previous administration's
dirty laundry,
763
00:31:26,443 --> 00:31:28,244
The next administration
will go after yours.
764
00:31:28,311 --> 00:31:30,379
That's the precedent
you don't want to set!
765
00:31:30,447 --> 00:31:32,781
It's just politics, jack.
766
00:31:32,849 --> 00:31:35,050
I don't know what you're
learning over there, david,
767
00:31:35,118 --> 00:31:37,253
But you've forgotten
everything you learned here.
768
00:31:37,320 --> 00:31:40,656
Tell the attorney general no deal.
769
00:31:45,762 --> 00:31:48,330
Information is perhaps
the most critical weapon
770
00:31:48,398 --> 00:31:50,099
For defeating the terrorist threat.
771
00:31:50,167 --> 00:31:52,468
Our success rests on
our ability to extract
772
00:31:52,536 --> 00:31:54,036
That information.
773
00:31:54,104 --> 00:31:55,771
I was asked to advise
the defense department
774
00:31:55,839 --> 00:31:58,174
As to the legal standards
governing the interrogation
775
00:31:58,241 --> 00:31:59,175
Of terrorist suspects.
776
00:31:59,242 --> 00:32:01,110
I put my findings in a memo
777
00:32:01,178 --> 00:32:02,778
And sent it on to the
relevant parties.
778
00:32:02,846 --> 00:32:06,582
Thank you.
779
00:32:06,650 --> 00:32:08,651
Mr. Franklin, isn't it fair
780
00:32:08,718 --> 00:32:11,187
To characterize the
legal standards you set
781
00:32:11,254 --> 00:32:13,489
Governing the
interrogations of suspects
782
00:32:13,557 --> 00:32:16,625
As "anything goes," so long
as the president orders it?
783
00:32:16,693 --> 00:32:19,395
And in his capacity
as commander-in-chief
784
00:32:19,462 --> 00:32:21,764
In a time of war,
he has the authority
785
00:32:21,831 --> 00:32:24,567
To issue any order
he deems appropriate?
786
00:32:24,634 --> 00:32:26,669
Well, the president
can't break the law.
787
00:32:26,736 --> 00:32:29,538
Well, according to your memo,
what law is the president
788
00:32:29,606 --> 00:32:32,107
Bound by in the war on terror?
789
00:32:32,175 --> 00:32:34,143
The geneva and hague conventions?
790
00:32:34,211 --> 00:32:35,644
Not applicable because
the terrorist detainees
791
00:32:35,712 --> 00:32:36,979
Are illegal combatants.
792
00:32:37,047 --> 00:32:39,515
Well, the due process
clause of the fifth amendment?
793
00:32:39,583 --> 00:32:42,151
Not applicable to alien
enemy combatants held abroad.
794
00:32:42,219 --> 00:32:45,221
The eighth amendment ban on
cruel and unusual punishment?
795
00:32:45,288 --> 00:32:46,822
Not applicable because
harsh interrogations
796
00:32:46,890 --> 00:32:48,023
Are not punishment.
797
00:32:48,091 --> 00:32:49,925
So you are saying, in war,
798
00:32:49,993 --> 00:32:52,494
The president is bound by no laws?
799
00:32:52,562 --> 00:32:54,363
Yes, in war.
800
00:32:54,431 --> 00:32:56,865
So if he deems he's
got to torture somebody,
801
00:32:56,933 --> 00:32:59,868
For example,
by crushing the testicles
802
00:32:59,936 --> 00:33:01,337
Of that person's child,
803
00:33:01,404 --> 00:33:05,874
Your memo says there is no law,
no treaty that can stop him?
804
00:33:05,942 --> 00:33:08,811
Well, it would depend
on why the president
805
00:33:08,878 --> 00:33:12,314
Thinks he needs to do that.
806
00:33:16,353 --> 00:33:19,021
Now, your memo
justifies these actions
807
00:33:19,089 --> 00:33:22,091
Because the detainees
are not regular soldiers
808
00:33:22,158 --> 00:33:25,094
In a national army as we
understand it, correct?
809
00:33:25,161 --> 00:33:26,462
Correct.
810
00:33:26,529 --> 00:33:27,529
Unlawful enemy combatants
are not entitled
811
00:33:27,597 --> 00:33:28,831
To the usual protections.
812
00:33:28,898 --> 00:33:30,799
Is it too much to
assume they'd be protected
813
00:33:30,867 --> 00:33:33,068
By our own sense of decency?
814
00:33:33,136 --> 00:33:35,170
That's not the task I
was given, mr. Cutter.
815
00:33:35,238 --> 00:33:37,806
My memo addressed legal,
not ethical, standards.
816
00:33:37,874 --> 00:33:40,943
Now, your memo says that,
"historically, nations
817
00:33:41,011 --> 00:33:43,379
"and their sovereigns
have been free to treat
818
00:33:43,446 --> 00:33:45,514
Unlawful combatants as they wish."
819
00:33:45,582 --> 00:33:47,783
Could you please give us
such a historical example?
820
00:33:47,851 --> 00:33:50,686
Well...
821
00:33:50,754 --> 00:33:52,454
Off the top of my head--
822
00:33:52,522 --> 00:33:55,491
What about this example?
823
00:33:55,558 --> 00:33:58,627
The summary execution
of a vietcong guerilla
824
00:33:58,695 --> 00:34:00,696
By a south vietnamese general.
825
00:34:00,764 --> 00:34:02,498
Or this.
826
00:34:02,565 --> 00:34:05,601
The torture and murder of
polish resistance fighters
827
00:34:05,669 --> 00:34:06,802
By the german army.
828
00:34:06,870 --> 00:34:09,338
Is this the historical
right you say
829
00:34:09,406 --> 00:34:11,273
The president should
avail himself of?
830
00:34:11,341 --> 00:34:14,209
I didn't invent the right
of sovereigns, mr. Cutter.
831
00:34:14,277 --> 00:34:16,078
I simply defined it.
832
00:34:16,146 --> 00:34:18,514
The right to do what they
want with unlawful combatants?
833
00:34:18,581 --> 00:34:20,149
Yes.
834
00:34:20,216 --> 00:34:22,618
Unlawful combatants
like the american militia
835
00:34:22,686 --> 00:34:25,020
After king george
declared them rebels?
836
00:34:25,088 --> 00:34:26,522
Yes, like that.
837
00:34:26,589 --> 00:34:28,991
So you would defend
the brutal treatment
838
00:34:29,059 --> 00:34:31,093
Of american prisoners
by the british
839
00:34:31,161 --> 00:34:33,062
During the revolutionary war?
840
00:34:33,129 --> 00:34:35,364
From a legal standpoint? Yes.
841
00:34:35,432 --> 00:34:38,567
Mr. Franklin,
what is it about this country
842
00:34:38,635 --> 00:34:41,203
That you don't get?
843
00:34:41,271 --> 00:34:43,105
Withdrawn.
844
00:34:43,173 --> 00:34:46,175
No more questions.
845
00:34:55,852 --> 00:34:58,087
There was a state
senator on just now
846
00:34:58,154 --> 00:35:02,858
Calling for your removal as d.A.
847
00:35:02,926 --> 00:35:05,461
You know, that day,
eight years ago,
848
00:35:05,528 --> 00:35:08,464
We could see the towers
burn from adam's window.
849
00:35:08,531 --> 00:35:12,768
I remember.
850
00:35:12,836 --> 00:35:15,204
Part of me says,
"I don't care what you do
851
00:35:15,271 --> 00:35:16,372
"to these detainees.
852
00:35:16,439 --> 00:35:17,873
"I don't want to know.
853
00:35:17,941 --> 00:35:19,408
Just protect us."
854
00:35:19,476 --> 00:35:23,445
The problem is now we do know.
855
00:35:23,513 --> 00:35:27,416
Yeah, and I'm not sure
that makes a difference.
856
00:35:37,494 --> 00:35:42,231
We're wanted in
federal court tomorrow.
857
00:35:42,298 --> 00:35:43,799
The attorney general
is asking the court
858
00:35:43,867 --> 00:35:45,401
To issue an order staying
the district attorney's
859
00:35:45,468 --> 00:35:47,703
Prosecution of mr.
Franklin and the other defendants.
860
00:35:47,771 --> 00:35:50,339
They can't just step
in and stop the trial.
861
00:35:50,407 --> 00:35:52,007
Under the supremacy
clause of the constitution,
862
00:35:52,075 --> 00:35:54,576
Actions taken by federal
officials in pursuit
863
00:35:54,644 --> 00:35:57,179
Of foreign policy are not
grist for state prosecutions.
864
00:35:57,247 --> 00:36:00,516
If those actions are illegal,
as torture clearly is,
865
00:36:00,583 --> 00:36:02,785
There's no overriding
federal interest
866
00:36:02,852 --> 00:36:06,021
In shielding those who
enabled such actions.
867
00:36:06,089 --> 00:36:07,956
All right, gentlemen,
I'll take the motion
868
00:36:08,024 --> 00:36:09,291
Under advisement.
869
00:36:09,359 --> 00:36:10,959
I'll issue my ruling
by the end of the day.
870
00:36:11,027 --> 00:36:13,862
In the meantime,
the state trial can proceed.
871
00:36:20,403 --> 00:36:22,204
I never expected this of you.
872
00:36:22,272 --> 00:36:24,306
You're way off the
reservation, jack.
873
00:36:24,374 --> 00:36:25,374
Damn it, david.
874
00:36:25,442 --> 00:36:27,976
I'm trying to save the reservation.
875
00:36:28,044 --> 00:36:29,445
We're looking forward,
not backward.
876
00:36:29,512 --> 00:36:34,516
We'se not looking to give aid
and comfort to the enemy.
877
00:36:34,584 --> 00:36:37,853
What are you accusing me of?
878
00:36:51,868 --> 00:36:55,204
My client never tortured anybody.
879
00:36:55,271 --> 00:36:58,040
He never ordered another
or conspired with others
880
00:36:58,107 --> 00:37:00,309
To commit torture.
881
00:37:00,376 --> 00:37:02,778
As a member of the
office of legal counsel
882
00:37:02,846 --> 00:37:05,314
Of the department of
justice and in service
883
00:37:05,381 --> 00:37:07,516
To his commander-in-chief,
he was asked
884
00:37:07,584 --> 00:37:09,351
To give a legal opinion.
885
00:37:09,419 --> 00:37:12,888
Might not be the most brilliant
opinion ever written,
886
00:37:12,956 --> 00:37:15,824
But in the end, it's just that.
887
00:37:15,892 --> 00:37:18,227
A legal opinion.
888
00:37:18,294 --> 00:37:21,396
Whether or not we
agree on the conduct
889
00:37:21,464 --> 00:37:25,267
Of the war on terror,
we can all still agree
890
00:37:25,335 --> 00:37:29,238
That in this country
you have to actually
891
00:37:29,305 --> 00:37:33,308
Commit a crime to
be convicted of one.
892
00:37:33,376 --> 00:37:35,577
Thank you.
893
00:37:39,015 --> 00:37:42,951
This is no simple legal opinion,
ladies and gentlemen.
894
00:37:43,019 --> 00:37:45,554
This is an instruction
on how to commit a crime
895
00:37:45,622 --> 00:37:47,222
And avoid prosecution.
896
00:37:47,290 --> 00:37:51,760
A surgical parsing of words to
draw hair-splitting distinctions
897
00:37:51,828 --> 00:37:55,564
Between severe pain
and extreme pain.
898
00:37:55,632 --> 00:37:58,200
The creation of a special
class of prisoners
899
00:37:58,268 --> 00:38:00,202
Who are fair game for any suffering
900
00:38:00,270 --> 00:38:01,737
We might subject them to.
901
00:38:01,804 --> 00:38:04,239
This is the legal grease
902
00:38:04,307 --> 00:38:06,441
That enabled the
conspirators to commit acts
903
00:38:06,509 --> 00:38:09,011
That are immoral and illegal.
904
00:38:09,078 --> 00:38:12,347
Hanging prisoners by their wrists
905
00:38:12,415 --> 00:38:15,684
Until their lungs collapse
against their ribs.
906
00:38:15,752 --> 00:38:21,189
Waterboarding one
detainee over 180 times.
907
00:38:24,761 --> 00:38:27,162
Now mr. Franklin's
defense is that he was
908
00:38:27,230 --> 00:38:29,831
Just following orders
as a mere lawyer
909
00:38:29,899 --> 00:38:31,767
In the justice department.
910
00:38:31,834 --> 00:38:33,802
Well, like all lawyers,
911
00:38:33,870 --> 00:38:35,904
He was employed as the last
912
00:38:35,972 --> 00:38:39,007
And best defense against injustice,
913
00:38:39,075 --> 00:38:42,477
To use the law as a
shield to protect people.
914
00:38:42,545 --> 00:38:46,815
But instead he used it as
a sword to injure them.
915
00:38:46,883 --> 00:38:50,152
Where he was sworn to
uphold the constitution,
916
00:38:50,219 --> 00:38:53,021
He used his legal
education to subvert it,
917
00:38:53,089 --> 00:38:57,225
To shame it, and betray
its promise to the world.
918
00:38:57,293 --> 00:39:00,696
Five days after 9-11,
919
00:39:00,763 --> 00:39:03,865
Vice president cheney told
us that we would have to
920
00:39:03,933 --> 00:39:06,969
"work the dark side"
to fight terrorists.
921
00:39:07,036 --> 00:39:09,137
Well, we never
imagined that to mean
922
00:39:09,205 --> 00:39:13,375
That we would cede control
to our own dark side.
923
00:39:13,443 --> 00:39:16,878
The tactics justified in mr.
Franklin's memo
924
00:39:16,946 --> 00:39:22,351
Draw from the worst of our nature.
925
00:39:22,418 --> 00:39:25,654
Even in the midst of
the revolutionary war,
926
00:39:25,722 --> 00:39:28,023
In the midst of the civil war,
927
00:39:28,091 --> 00:39:30,292
Presidents washington and lincoln
928
00:39:30,360 --> 00:39:34,029
Admonished their troops not
to injure their prisoners.
929
00:39:34,097 --> 00:39:38,834
Now, some of you may feel
that it is not the place
930
00:39:38,901 --> 00:39:43,305
Of this jury or even the
people to question the actions
931
00:39:43,373 --> 00:39:46,241
Of our government officials
during a time of war...
932
00:39:46,309 --> 00:39:51,313
That the premise of this
trial itself somehow is...
933
00:39:51,381 --> 00:39:55,717
Treasonous.
934
00:39:55,785 --> 00:39:58,687
I would assure you,
ladies and gentlemen,
935
00:39:58,755 --> 00:40:02,090
It is not disloyal
to hold our officials
936
00:40:02,158 --> 00:40:05,193
To the highest
standards of conduct.
937
00:40:05,261 --> 00:40:09,131
And it is not disloyal
to allow you, the people,
938
00:40:09,198 --> 00:40:15,203
To decide what you
want done in your name.
939
00:40:20,543 --> 00:40:22,544
Thank you.
940
00:40:27,684 --> 00:40:29,351
Has the jury reached a verdict?
941
00:40:29,419 --> 00:40:30,752
We have, your honor.
942
00:40:30,820 --> 00:40:34,990
The defendant will stand.
943
00:40:35,058 --> 00:40:38,093
On the first count
of the indictment,
944
00:40:38,161 --> 00:40:42,631
Conspiracy in the--
945
00:40:42,699 --> 00:40:46,735
What's going on, eddie?
946
00:40:46,803 --> 00:40:48,837
He's a federal
marshal with an order
947
00:40:48,905 --> 00:40:49,938
From the district court.
948
00:40:50,006 --> 00:40:53,008
Bring it here.
949
00:41:08,157 --> 00:41:10,459
The federal court for
the southern district
950
00:41:10,526 --> 00:41:13,295
Has issued an order
preempting this prosecution.
951
00:41:13,362 --> 00:41:14,930
The trial is over.
952
00:41:14,997 --> 00:41:16,531
Ladies and gentlemen of the jury,
953
00:41:16,599 --> 00:41:17,933
Thank you for your service.
954
00:41:18,000 --> 00:41:19,768
We are adjourned.
955
00:41:19,836 --> 00:41:23,338
But, your honor,
the jury had a verdict.
956
00:41:23,406 --> 00:41:25,107
There's no verdict till
it's entered in the record.
957
00:41:25,174 --> 00:41:28,176
It's over, mr. Cutter.
958
00:41:35,585 --> 00:41:37,152
I'll start checking the case law,
959
00:41:37,220 --> 00:41:39,121
See what our next step is.
960
00:41:39,188 --> 00:41:40,522
You won't find anything.
961
00:41:40,590 --> 00:41:42,624
There's no recourse.
962
00:41:51,934 --> 00:41:53,468
The people who
want you out, jack,
963
00:41:53,536 --> 00:41:55,137
They'll use this to hammer you.
964
00:41:55,204 --> 00:41:56,371
Good.
965
00:41:56,439 --> 00:41:57,906
At the end of the day,
I hope to give them
966
00:41:57,974 --> 00:42:02,711
Even more reason to be mad at me.
967
00:42:02,779 --> 00:42:05,647
Come on, mike.
