All language subtitles for Law & Order s20e07 Boy Gone Astray.eng

In the criminal justice system,

The people are represented
by two separate

Yet equally important groups--

The police
who investigate crime

And the district attorneys
who prosecute the offenders.

These are their stories.

- Nina.
Nina, come on.

Give me a chance
- you had your chance, okay?

We're done.

- Thanks.

[buzzer]
- you can't do this to me.

- Yes, I can, lucas.

Good-bye.

- Victim's nina wilshere.

Cat lady down the hall heard
the shots and called it in.

Minute later,

The alarm from the fire exit
downstairs went off,

Probably the shooter
getting away.

- Looks like
the wild west in here.

I count at least a dozen
9-millimeter casings.

- Yeah. Some slugs
hit the stereo equipment.

- Well, maybe she played
her music too loud.

The rest of the place
looks untouched.

- Oh...
- What's that?

- Well, it looks like somebody
missed the jackpot here.

It's a reardon.

Miss wilshere
has a basquiat...

A couple of glenn ligons.

That's $2 million worth
of artwork, easy.

- Well, I guess our guy
didn't come for the art.

Got hits in the face
and the upper torso.

The shooter probably let loose
the second she opened the door.

Hello...

- And good-bye.

Sync by Adriano_CSI for Addict7ed

- [crying] my baby...

[sniffles]
it doesn't make any sense.

- Was she seeing anyone?

- I don't think
there was anyone special.

Nina prized her independence.

- We understand.

Ma'am, we saw that she had
a lot of expensive artwork.

- She bought pieces
for her clients.

Nina had her own
interior-design business.

She was very successful.
- We have to ask.

Did she have any involvement
with drugs or gambling?

- No, of course not.

I, um...

I have some photo albums.

I'd like you to see
how special my daughter was.

Please.

- Two hours of looking
at old pictures.

- You're complaining?

- Ladies with their dogs,

Children coming home
from school--

No suspects here.

- Assuming the killers
entered through the lobby.

- Killers?

- Ballistics says
two guns were used,

Both 9s.

- There she is.

- Back it up a few seconds.

Freeze it there.

See if csu can get
prince charming's prints

Off that door.

- Nina was going to decorate
my office.

- Ah, chiropractor
with an interior designer--

Backaches must pay well.

- We prefer the term
doctor of chiropractic.

I'm stunned that you know
that I saw her yesterday.

Oh, wait--I must have
touched something.

You found my fingerprints

On that dwi
I got a few years ago.

- What did you and nina
talk about?

- The $5,000 that she owed me.
- Owed you for...?

- I ran into nina
in the hamptons last summer.

We hadn't seen each other
since prep school, and we...

We reconnected.

She told me she was
an interior designer.

Next thing,
I'm coughing up a retainer.

Then she blows me off
for three appointments.

- So you went looking for her.
- No, no. No.

It's not like that.

If she didn't want the job,
I wanted my money back.

She swore that she would email
me some preliminary plans.

No big deal.

- Looked like a big deal
on the video.

- No, guys, 5 grand
wasn't gonna break me.

[bell jingles]

Now, if you'll excuse me,
um, I've got patients.

- Where are we
on miss wilshere's financials?

- The lady didn't like keeping
her money in a bank.

Her account has the same
$10,000 in it

For the past two years--

No withdrawals,
no deposits.

- And we know she had money
to burn on artwork

And a fancy apartment.

- You mind putting that away?
The smell is...

- Sorry.

- So how much art
did she have?

- I'd say $3 to $4 million.

- That's a lot of money

For an interior designer
no one's ever heard of.

First thing tomorrow,

Talk to the gallery
that sold her the paintings.

Maybe her real business
was money laundering...

Buying art with someone else's
dirty money.

- Okay.

- Good night.
- Good night.

- Have a good night.

[paper rustles]

- Come on, ma.
You didn't touch your food.

- Um...I had a big lunch.

- Frank says
you haven't been eating

Since the chemo started.

- You two been talking
behind my back?

- Point is, I've got this friend
back in burlington--

A nurse at a cancer ward.

She gave me something
that might help.

- Tell me that's not what
it looks like.

- It's medical marijuana,
legal in vermont.

- And still a crime
in new york.

I raised you better
than that.

- Fine.
Toss it.

My train leaves in an hour.
I got to finish packing.

- [sighs]
damn.

Can you believe this?

- Anita...He cares.

- And you...

You knew about this.

Frank!

What were you thinking?

I'm--I'm
a sworn police officer.

- You're a sick woman
who can't keep her food down,

Who spends half the day
doubled over in the bathroom.

This is a medicine
with proven benefits.

Now, I didn't fall in love
with a stupid woman, so...

- Miss wilshere
always paid cash.

Many of our clients do.
Cash is king.

- How much exactly
did she buy from you?

- Uh, well, let me think.

There were the lorna simpsons,
two basquiat,

The...

We had the adrian pipers.

So it was about
$5 million total

Over the last two years.

- Oh. More than what was
in her apartment.

Do you always deliver
to her place?

- Do you mean the one
on the 14th floor?

- There's another one?

- Yeah, she had a unit
on the 12th floor,

But I think she mainly
used it for storage.

- Thanks.

- Look at all this...

Well, I'm guessing these
aren't for her wool sweaters.

Hey, guys, open these, please.

Nice cabbage patch.

I wonder where
all this came from.

- Whoa. Whoo!

[sniffs]
skunk weed.

Forget interiors--our gal
was designing drug deals.

- That's
a hazardous occupation.

Puts her argument
with her chiropractor

In a whole new light.

- Fellow dope dealer.

He's got to be
on somebody's radar.

- Had a wire up on evra's phone
for the last month.

He's a small-time dealer.

Been trying to I.D.
His supplier.

- We might be able
to help you out with that.

Her name's nina wilshere.

- Figures.
We thought it was a woman.

We just couldn't trace
the calls.

- You have anything
from last Tuesday?

- Uh...

We have outgoing calls
at 1150 hours

And one at 1538 hours.

- That's a few minutes
before she was shot.

Let's hear that last one.

- Hello?
- Hey, it's lucas.

Don't--don't hang up.
- Why are you calling me?

I don't want to talk
over the phone.

- Can we just meet for coffee?

I'll have the 10 grand
for you, I swear.

Just don't freeze me out.
- Okay, okay.

- Sounds like they kissed
and made up.

[knocking on door]
hold on.

There's someone at the door.
Yes?

- I lost my key.
Can I call my mom?

- Wait. Lucas,
I'll get back to you.

There's a kid at the door.

[line clicks]

- A kid.

- I lost my key.
Can I call my mom?

- Wait. Lucas,
I'll get back to you.

There's a kid at the door.
[line clicks]

- A minute after this,

The lady down the hall
heard the shots.

- So we think the killers
used this kid

To get nina
to open her door.

- But didn't we see a bunch
of kids go in that building?

- Right.

Coming back from school.

[computer chimes]

[keys clacking]

Okay, here we go.

- Stop it there.

[key clacks]

What about him?

You see that bulge
in his waistband

Under his shirt?

- He's carrying a piece.

- Ah. The killers didn't use
the kids as access.

The killers were the kids.

- I remember them.

They were hanging out
over there,

Kicking around
a soccer ball.

- Did you see them run by,
maybe head into the subway?

- They didn't come by here.
- Maybe they got in a car.

You see a car waiting?
- The only car I noticed

Was doubled-parked
in that no loading zone.

Thoughtless bastard--
my delivery truck

Had to park around the corner
because of him.

- What kind of car?
- Town car with a chauffer.

He was there all afternoon.

- You notice
what livery company he was?

- The sticker said
riverdale limo

Right under the one that said
"we hire jackasses."

- Thanks.

- We found the limo driver.

He was waiting on a fare
for three hours.

He didn't see anything,

But his dashboard camera
had a perfect view

Through the rear window

Of the front
of nina wilshere's building.

- I just uploaded the video.

There they go.

I can't make out
the license plate number.

It's a maserati, I think.

- Yeah, 2009 maserati,
quattroporte s--

4.7-liter v8, 430 ponies,

125 large, easy.

In compton,
you either bang,

Or you watch the bangers
in their tricked-out whips.

I watched.

- Well, there can't be too many
maserati quattroportes

Sold in the tri-state area.

Try to run it down.
[knocking on door]

Chief.

- You fellas give us a minute?
- Sure.

- Word came back to me

That someone in the building
smelled marijuana on you.

Are you out of your mind?

You have 22 years in,
a pension.

- Chief, I can explain.
- Save it.

These mints
could take bark off a tree.

They'll clear your breath.

- Okay...

Shower and change your clothes
after you smoke.

This guy
sells medicinal dope.

He's careful and discreet.

We clear?

- Yeah. Sure.

Chief...

- Ball cancer,
three years ago.

That stuff
got me through it.

Just keep it square,
lieutenant.

Don't go to pieces on me.

- I sold that cherry four months
ago to this hispanic guy.

- You got a name for us?
- Joe.

- Joe what?

- Ah, just joe.

He had us register the car
to southwestern supplies

In white plains.

Turns out it's a p.O. Box.

- But you sold him
the car anyway

Because--wild guess--
he paid in cash.

- Fellas, I filled out
all the required forms.

The dmv was happy,
and I was happy.

- Did he show you
a driver's license

Before you let him drive
the car off the lot?

- Of course.
It looked valid.

- We're gonna need you
to help us with a sketch.

You heard from him since?

- Few weeks ago--
one of his cars wouldn't start,

Electrical thing.

It was in the driveway
of this house in scarsdale.

We sent a mechanic to it.

- Nice digs.

Joe lives well.

- Yeah, and quietly.
[cell phone beeps]

No ins or outs.

Surprise, surprise.

The house is leased long term
to southwestern supplies,

The same ghost company
that owns the title on the cars.

- Two hours.

We've got to rustle up
some p.C. To go in

Or get some hemorrhoid cream.
- Hey.

- Party girls.
Life is good.

- You think that girl's
a good driver?

My money says she's not.
[cell phone beeps]

- Hmm.

Yeah. I hope this guy's
not packing viagra.

- You had no right
to take us in

Over a traffic violation,

Especially since I did
come to a complete stop

At the corner.
- So you say.

There's also
your suspended license,

The joint in your ashtray,

The roll of 100s
in your purse.

- This is not happening.

- It doesn't have to.

A few answers,
and you can go...

Like who you were visiting
in the house.

- Friends.

- Okay. These friends give you
the money in your purse?

They got names?

Okay, how about you tell me
if you saw drugs in the house

Or guns?

- Forget it.
I want a lawyer.

- The other girl
wouldn't talk either.

Whoever's in that house
is a lot scarier than we are.

- The lab analyzed
the $100 bills

Taken from the girl's purse.

They were all positive
for cocaine residue.

- The girl
has a pros collar.

It's conceivable that she
provided sexual services

For the occupant
of the house.

- The occupant gave the girl
money contaminated with cocaine.

Ergo, there's probable cause
to believe

That house has cocaine in it.

- Police!
Everyone on the ground, now!

Down!

Get down! Down!

- What are you, stupid?

Or you just want
to be shot, huh?

What you got here?

Oh.
Nice.

Where's joe?
- I don't know any joe!

- Stand up.
Who else is in the house?

- Nobody.
- We live by ourselves.

It's our house, okay?
- Yeah?

Your house...

Your guns.

- Hey, take him.

- People v. Rafael alvarez,

Samuel molina,
and carlos cabezas,

Murder in the second degree.

- Esther pinn from legal aid--

I've been assigned
to all three defendants.

- At this point,

The people have no objection
to the joint representation.

- Good. Because
I've been retained

By the families
of the three children.

Marcus woll, your honor.

Thanks for keeping
the seat warm.

My clients plead not guilty.
I ask that they be r.O.R.'d.

- Judge, I know mr. Woll from
his time in the d.A.'s office.

These defendants
come from modest backgrounds,

And I am sure that mr. Woll
is not here pro bono.

I'd like to inquire as to
the source of his retainer.

- Counsel knows
that's not relevant.

What is relevant
is that we have three juveniles,

Two 14 year olds and
a 16 year old without records.

- Each of them
will be tried as an adult

For his role
in a brutal execution.

Mr. Molina and mr. Cabezas
are from brownsville, texas.

They don't even have
families here to be released to.

- Their guardians
are en route, judge.

- Good. They can visit them
at bridges.

Remanded.
[taps gavel]

- Enjoy it
while it lasts, connie.

Motion to suppress all evidence
found inside the building.

- Ballistics tied
the guns in the house

To nina wilshere's shooting

And to two other murders
in philly and in newark.

The victims were
all major drug dealers.

The dea suspects they were
targeted by the vela cartel

Out of mexico.

- A mexican drug cartel

Is relying on children
to carry out their murders?

- These children
are trained assassins.

- Yeah, the police
found these in the house.

- Some kind of training camp.

- Intel says
it's located somewhere

In the sierra madre foothills
of eastern mexico.

We figure the vela cartel
trained and parked these kids

In the scarsdale house
to use when needed.

- And for some reason,

They needed to kill
nina wilshere.

- Which is odd, because
she wasn't a major player.

- We might get the answer
when we find this joe character.

Most likely he ran
the assassination team.

We lean on the kids hard enough,
one of them might roll on him.

- Assuming you survive
this motion

To throw out the evidence.

Marcus woll
was a formidable attorney

When he worked in this office.

No reason to think
he's slacked off now.

- Miss vazquez
is a convicted prostitute.

It was reasonable to assume
she received that money

From the occupants
of the house in return for sex.

Since the money tested
positive for cocaine,

It was reasonable
to suspect that cocaine

Was present in the house.

- Mr. Woll, do you dispute
the test results on the money?

- I don't, your honor,

Provided the court
takes notice of a study

That shows that 90%
of all banknotes in circulation

Contain cocaine residue.

If you can get
a search warrant

Because a bill
tests positive for drugs,

Then no home is safe
from unreasonable searches.

- The home in question

Had independent ties
to a drug murder--

- You're reaching, counselor.

I'm suppressing
everything seized in the house

Pursuant to that warrant.

- In light
of the court's ruling,

I move to dismiss all charges
against my clients

For lack of evidence.

- We have video placing alvarez
and molina at the crime scene.

- I'll sustain the indictments
against alvarez and molina,

But I'm dismissing all charges
against mr. Cabezas.

[taps gavel]

- Okay, we lost the driver
to the getaway car,

But we still have the shooters.
- Without the murder weapons,

We don't have
much leverage on them.

Maybe we can try talking
to rafa alvarez's parents.

- I know they live
in washington heights.

They got here early
this morning.

- They're concerned.
It's a start.

- Rafa was hanging out
with older boys at a pool hall.

Then one day six months ago,
he don't come home, so...

- He was taken to mexico.

He was turned
into a trained killer.

- We tried to find him,
but no one would help us.

We heard
he was in a gang, but--

- Ricardo, don't talk
about those people.

- Any idea who recruited him?

Maybe...

Maybe it was this man.

- No.

- Are you making birria?

It smells delicious.

Do you use pork or beef?

- Pork.

- Mrs. Alvarez,
we know you're scared,

But we can help rafa.

We want the people who told him
to kill this girl.

- You think
we can change rafa's mind?

We went to see him
yesterday.

He laughed about that girl.

- What did he say?

- He sing this song...

La gringa brava
no tiene ningun miedo.

Ella tiene corazon
de un leon.

- La gringa brava
has no fear.

She has a lion's heart.

- Isabel,
we should just listen,

See how they can help us
with rafa.

- No.

I will not ask him to speak
against those people.

We have other children
to worry about.

- I, uh...

I am sorry.

- This kid's
never gonna cooperate.

He murders a woman,
then he sings about it?

- The boys shot up
nina wilshere's stereo

When they killed her.

Maybe there's more to this song
than just boasting.

[latin music plays]

♪ ♪

The police found it
on wilshere's ipod

And on a laptop
in the scarsdale house.

It's about
a mexican drug family.

- The song says
the family is so bad

That they have
hot yankee blondes

Selling their dope for them.

- It's a tribute.
- It's a narcocorrido--

A drug ballad.

They're very popular in mexico

And in the latin communities
in the u.S.

These guys are folk heroes.

- Not to mention pushers
and murderers.

- Well, you'd have to know
mexico's colonial history.

Banditos fought the power,
banditos like my ancestor,

Juan cortina.

People revered them.

- Your ancestor?

Maybe I should keep
a closer eye on you.

So the vela cartel
targeted nina wilshere

Because she was in a song

That extolled the virtues
of a rival cartel.

- Yeah, well,
it's called talking smack

With a semiautomatic.

- It'd be helpful to know
which cartel nina worked for.

- The song doesn't mention
them by name.

- I might be able to help.
- Another outlaw relative?

- Worse--
my old high-school boyfriend.

[la gringa brava playing]

♪ ♪

- Tune's been on the internet
for a couple of months now,

A band called los vagabundos.

- Do they have any affiliation
with the drug cartels?

- The ramon family...
From zacatecas,

So I hear.
[chuckles]

Baby, I-I just can't get over
how respectable you look.

- Jonny, please, um...
This is my boss.

- Sorry.
Hey.

You hear the latest song
about la gringa brava?

[latin music plays]

♪ ♪

- It says the ramon family
are cowards,

That they let a woman
do a man's work.

- And later in the song it says,
"but now she's dead,

And she isn't
so pretty anymore."

- And who did this song?
- Los guerreros...

One of the house bands
for the vela cartel,

So I hear.

- The song also says that she
took four bullets to the face.

That detail wasn't released
to the press.

When exactly
did this song come out--

The exact day?

- It got put on the internet
on the, uh, 15th.

- That's the Tuesday
nina was shot.

Somebody fed the information
to the band.

- And I'm guessing someone

With an intimate knowledge
of the murder.

If, uh, we want to find
this band,

Los guer--guerreros..

- [chuckles]

Just for you, baby.

Los guerreros are touring
the tri-state area,

And their next gig
is tonight in new jersey.

- Thanks.

- Excuse me.
Uh, manhattan d.A.

What happened?
- Band called los guerreros.

They were unloading
for their gig.

Witness saw two black
suvs pull up.

Occupants started shooting.
- Anybody get a plate number?

- Not from this crowd.

- Nina's people
are probably behind this.

Paying back los guerreros
for their song

About la gringa brava's murder.

- I want to know who told them
about the bullets in her face.

The full lyrics to the song
about nina's murder

Were in the band's songbook,

But this page
was in a knapsack in the van.

It just has the verse
about the four bullets.

- It's different
handwriting.

- Yeah, well, the song
had a ghostwriter.

We're hoping
the ghost left fingerprints.

- A firefight
over a couple of songs--

Unbelievable.

- As if these cartels
need a pretext to kill.

The higher the body count,
the higher their standing.

- Got a hit on those prints
off the lyrics.

His name is eddy blanco.

Narcotics division says
he's a lieutenant

For the vela cartel.

A little birdie tells me

He bought those fancy cars
for the kids...

Probably gave them
their marching orders too.

- Let's pick him up.

- On it.

[siren wailing]

- Nypd! Put your hands
on the car.

Don't turn around.

- We're coming for you, eddy.

- About what?

- You're under arrest

For filing a false
registration with the dmv.

- Don't bother
reading my rights.

I want marcus woll.

- Great.
Now woll represents blanco

And the kids we need
to roll on blanco.

- Rafa alvarez is a minor.

His parents have final say
on who represents him.

His name is eddy blanco.
Did rafa ever mention him?

- No.
Who is he?

- He's the man who turned
your son into a killer.

Your son is gonna die in prison
unless he cooperates.

- We told you.
He don't listen to us.

- It is true.

We go see rafa,
and mr. Woll's always there.

What do we say?

- Well, for starters,
you can fire mr. Woll.

You're rafa's parents.

You have the right
to choose his lawyer.

Mr. Woll cares
only about the big bosses.

He doesn't care
about your son.

- Enough.
- Mrs. Alvarez--

- If rafa talks,
they will kill him.

They will kill
all my children.

Ricardo, let's go.

- No.
- Ricardo.

- No. I can protect
my own family.

Rafa will not die in jail.

He will have a life.

What do you need us to do?

- Your honor, mr. Cutter
is boldly interfering

With my representation
of my client.

- The defendant's parents
conveyed to me

Their intent
to change attorneys.

- My client has a right to
the counsel of his own choosing.

He's an emancipated minor

Whose parents effectively
abandoned him months ago.

- He was spirited away
to mexico

To learn the trade
of an assassin.

He was kept in a house
and plied with drugs--

- Allegations, your honor.

The d.A. Is charging him
as an adult,

So the court
should treat him as such.

- Rafa, are you happy
with your lawyer?

- Yes. I don't want
anyone else.

Only mr. Woll, okay?

- Your honor, mr. Woll
is hopelessly conflicted

By virtue of representing
three codefendants

In the same murder case.

- Given the circumstances,

I don't think
mr. And mrs. Alvarez

Have relinquished
their parental rights.

- Judge, this is
a constitutional outrage.

- Defense counsel is recused.

Court-appointed counsel
will be assigned to mr. Alvarez.

[taps gavel]

- Well, at least now
we have a fighting chance.

- Well, let's hope
rafa alvarez still does.

- In return
for your testimony,

You'd be sentenced
as a juvenile.

That means you'd be free
in four years.

- I'm not a rat.
- It's not about that.

It's about your future.
- You think I'm scared of jail?

I'm not.

- Rafa, mira al señor
en los ojos

Cuando el te hablando.

- Don't tell me what to do.
I don't take orders from you.

- But you do from--
from those animals?

- Nosotros
somos tu familia.

No esa gente.

Nosotros te criamos,
no ellos!

- I want to go now, okay?

- Rafa,
listen to your parents.

They've put themselves
in great danger to help you.

[pounds table]
- I want to go!

- I think we're done here.

- I'm so sorry.
We'll keep trying.

- [sighs]

Six months
with the mexican mob's

Done a number on this kid.

- Well, they programmed him
to be a killer.

Maybe we can find someone
to deprogram him.

- I see a lot of parallels

Between this boy
and the child soldiers

I met in africa.

It's not hard
to desensitize boys to violence.

You throw in a system
of rewards--

Video games, drugs, sex.

- So how do we reach him?

- Well, in africa,

We reintroduced
the child soldiers

Back into their old villages,
into their old lives

To help them rediscover
their humanity.

- We don't have
a lot of time.

- It's not as daunting
as it sounds.

Breakthroughs can be triggered
by the smallest thing.

- For example?

- You shoot
for something that...

Taps into the side of the boy
that's still a kid

That loves his family.

Do that, and chances are

The walls
will come tumbling down.

- My client has already stated

That he has no interest
in cooperating.

- Understood. Dr. Burkardt
just wants an opportunity

To talk with him.

- I don't want to talk
to anybody.

- All right, then let's talk
about rafa's pretrial detention.

- We'll be working
through lunch, rafa,

If you want to order something.

- I just want to get
out of here.

- His current facility
has a poor safety record.

We've approached the dojj,

And they've agreed
to relocate him.

- Rafa's parents have also said
they want him in a facility

Closer to their home.

- Well, if there's
an opportunity

To improve the conditions
of my client's incarceration,

We'll listen.

- It's birria.

Your mom sent it over
for helping you.

- Okay, so there's a facility
15 miles from his house.

- Rafa, what do you think?

Rafa?

- There's plenty here.

Here.

- We also have reciprocity

With facilities
in northern new jersey.

Now, till we can move him,
he'll continue to...

Be housed
in the segregated unit.

- [sobbing]

They took me
to this ranch in mexico.

They gave us guns,
showed us how to shoot them.

They made us feel important.

They brought us back,
put us in this big house, and...

- Rafa, I understand

You just finished
two weeks of therapy

With dr. Burkardt.

I understand some things
might still be hard

For you to talk about.

- It's like I woke up
from a bad dream.

- Did it always feel
like a bad dream?

- No.

At first, it was like
being in a video game.

It was exciting.

- Then it...

Stopped being exciting.

- Yes.

- When was that?

- They made us take cocaine.

I didn't want to, but they said
it would relax us, you know?

But I'd never done it before.

I threw up.
It was scary.

- What else happened
that was scary?

- They would send
these older girls over.

I'd never even kissed a girl,

But they said
a man did more than kiss.

- Rafa, after you got
to the house,

Who was the person
who told you what to do?

- Eddy blanco.

He'd give us our missions.

- And what was the mission?

- Y-you know...
To kill someone,

A person.

- Did mr. Blanco tell you
to kill a woman

Named nina wilshere?

- Yes.

He showed us her picture
and where she lived.

He told us how to get
into her place.

- And did you kill her?

- Yes.

- And how'd that
make you feel?

- I never thought
about it, you know?

Eddy said not to.

Like always, we'd come back
when we were done

And have pizza and tequila
and watch movies and....

[sobbing]

- Okay.

- [continues sobbing]

- So the grand jury came back

With a murder indictment
against blanco.

- There's been a development.

- My detectives found this
on the internet.

[singing in spanish]

♪ ♪

- What are they saying?

- Um, it's--it's
about the, um--

The female lawyer in new york
who took on the vela cartel.

The dead female lawyer.

They're threatening me.

- And they follow through
on their threats.

Connie, I'd like you
off this case.

- No, I-I want to see
this through, jack.

- You and mr. Cutter
are getting security details.

And I'll see to it
that the detectives assigned

Are handpicked.

- And do you recognize
these two boys?

- I do. Sammy molina
and rafa alvarez.

- The same two boys
we just saw

Entering miss wilshere's
building ten minutes prior.

Now, the timestamp
on the video reads 3:42 p.M.

When was miss wilshere
shot to death?

- About three minutes earlier.

- Thank you.

- No questions, your honor.

- Your next witness,
mr. Cutter.

- The people call
rafael alvarez.

- Uh, sidebar, your honor.

Judge, I move to exclude
this witness.

He's a minor who was kept
in coercive environment

For two weeks and subjected
to psychological manipulation.

- Mr. Alvarez underwent
routine counseling

After six months in the thrall
of a drug cartel.

- Your case does rest largely

On the boy's testimony,
mr. Cutter.

Mr. Woll's allegation
is a serious one.

I'm obliged to hear the motion.

- I request 48 hours to fully
brief the matter, your honor.

- Our witness
is prepped and ready.

The motion
should be heard right now.

- You have 24 hours, mr. Woll.

We're adjourned
till 1:00 p.M. Tomorrow.

[taps gavel]

- What's happening?
- It's nothing to worry about.

You'll, uh--
you'll testify tomorrow.

- But I'm ready now.

- It'll be over soon, okay?

Officers, please give him
a moment with his parents.

They're stalling.

I want security where rafa's
being kept doubled.

- Got it.

[man humming
the narcocorrido]

♪ ♪

I found a half a dozen cases
on point, mike.

Woll has zero basis
for precluding rafa's testimony.

All right.
I'll see you there.

[ball bouncing closer]

[gasps]

- Counselor?

I got here early.
I brought you coffee.

You're supposed to wait inside.

Everything okay?
- Yeah, I'm good.

Um, we can go.
- Courthouse, right?

[cell phone beeps]

- No. Uh, bronxville
juvenile facility.

- He was brushing his teeth
in the bathroom.

His throat was slashed.
He bled out before he was found.

We have no suspects,

And of course, we have
no cameras in the bathroom.

- Thank you, warden.

What happened to sammy
can't happen to you, okay?

You're protected.
- Your family has been moved

To a secure location--
they're safe.

- After the motion,
you'll testify,

Then you can begin a new life.

- You think I'm stupid?
That I don't know

What they'll do to me
if I talk, to my family?

They'll send ten guys like me
after us.

- Rafa, I promise
we'll protect you.

- You can't!
Look what they did to sammy.

And he wasn't even a snitch.

I'm not testifying, get it?

I'm not!

- I think we need
a little time.

- How'd he take it?
- He shut down.

- The vela cartel
sent rafa a message.

- Yeah, message received.
Now what do we do?

- What any good lawyer
does--bluff.

- The motion's
this afternoon, mr. Blanco,

And here's the reality.

It will be denied.

- And when it is,
rafa will take the stand,

And you will be convicted
of murder.

- You seem very confident...

Which makes me wonder
why you wanted a sit-down.

- Because we're in the business
of minimizing risk...

Second-degree murder--

15-25, and he names names.

- Win the motion,
lose the motion,

My client
wants his day in court.

Your witness, mike.

- I've read the affidavits
on the psychiatric report,

And I see no evidence
of psychological manipulation.

Appropriate standards
of witness preparation

Were followed, mr. Woll.

Defense motion is denied.

The people may call mr. Alvarez
as their next witness.

Let's bring in the jury.

- Uh, your honor,

The people request
a brief continuance.

Since mr. Blanco's
codefendant was murdered,

We need to adjust our case
accordingly.

- Uh, mr. Molina's
unfortunate death

Doesn't change
their theory of the case.

- I agree, mr. Cutter.
It doesn't.

- There is another issue.

Our witness
is a 14-year-old boy

Who's understandably distressed
by his friend's death.

- Please.

Until recently, mr. Cutter
was calling him a brutal killer.

What, now the kid's
overcome by sentiment?

- It's a simple
humanitarian request.

- My client has a right
to a speedy trial.

If the people
aren't ready to proceed,

I move to dismiss.

- No delay is warranted,
mr. Cutter.

You have two hours
to produce your witness...

Or I am kicking this.

[ball thumping]

- I know this is hard...

And really scary.

But you can't give up, rafa.
[thumping continues]

You have the rest of your life
to think about here.

- You testify, then it's done.

We'll relocate your family,

And you can join them
in a few years.

You can start over.

- Or you can keep quiet.

The judge
will dismiss the case.

Eddy blanco will be out.

You'll be in prison.

And you won't be able
to protect your family.

- Rafa, please.

Your family loves you.

You can't do this to them.

[cutter knocks on door]

We have to buy more time.
I know we can reach him.

- He's already been reached.
