[Man Narrating]
In the criminal justice system,
2
00:00:07,641 --> 00:00:11,418
the people are represented by two separate
yet equally important groups,
3
00:00:11,478 --> 00:00:13,253
the police, who investigate crime,
4
00:00:13,313 --> 00:00:16,123
and the district attorneys,
who prosecute the offenders.
5
00:00:16,183 --> 00:00:17,958
These are their stories.
6
00:00:18,018 --> 00:00:20,965
[Woman] The most important
thing is to stay calm.
7
00:00:21,021 --> 00:00:24,127
Easy for you to say. If I
screw up, someone could die.
8
00:00:24,191 --> 00:00:27,365
Eighty-six percent of incomings
are non-emergencies.
9
00:00:29,863 --> 00:00:32,810
[Line Rings] 911 Operator.
This call is being recorded.
10
00:00:32,866 --> 00:00:35,813
[Man, Japanese Accent]
Help! Help! I need help! What?
11
00:00:35,869 --> 00:00:39,248
My wife isn't breathing.
I'm sorry, sir. I can't understand.
12
00:00:39,306 --> 00:00:41,252
Please...
Please send ambulance!
13
00:00:41,308 --> 00:00:43,254
His accent.
I can't understand his accent.
14
00:00:43,310 --> 00:00:46,052
Sir, where are you?
Uh, wait...
15
00:00:46,113 --> 00:00:49,322
Jay... Jay and Staple... Jay and Staple!
Sir, listen to me.
16
00:00:49,383 --> 00:00:52,330
Stay with your wife. We have an
ambulance on the way. Tamiko, please!
17
00:00:52,386 --> 00:00:55,333
[Man] Couple of Japanese
tourists got shot and robbed
18
00:00:55,389 --> 00:00:59,337
Wife took one in the face. Husband tried to wrestle
the guy for the gun got blasted in the arm.
19
00:00:59,393 --> 00:01:02,340
You get a description of the perp?
Black male, between 20 and 30.
20
00:01:02,396 --> 00:01:05,343
That's it? Height, weight?
He was rambling in Japanese.
21
00:01:05,399 --> 00:01:07,811
He's in shock.
Yeah, I would be too.
22
00:01:07,868 --> 00:01:11,315
What'd the shooter make off with?
Wife's purse, cash and jewelry.
23
00:01:11,371 --> 00:01:13,317
Where'd it go down?
Over there.
24
00:01:13,373 --> 00:01:15,319
C.S.U. on the way?
25
00:01:15,375 --> 00:01:18,584
Should be here any minute.
I found a couple of casings.
26
00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:21,626
Looks like a .22.
27
00:01:21,682 --> 00:01:24,128
If we get lucky,
maybe we'll find the slugs.
28
00:01:24,184 --> 00:01:26,630
We might find the one
that winged the husband.
29
00:01:26,687 --> 00:01:30,692
The other's still in the wife's skull. No exit wound.
That'll wreck your vacation.
30
00:02:20,807 --> 00:02:25,756
The bullet entered her right cheek at point blank range,
just below the eye, then ricocheted around the brain.
31
00:02:25,812 --> 00:02:29,760
Is she gonna make it?
The damage is extensive. We'll know more the next few days.
32
00:02:29,816 --> 00:02:31,762
What about her husband's condition?
33
00:02:31,818 --> 00:02:35,891
Bullet went through his upper arm. just missed the
brachial artery. He should be okay. Lucky guy.
34
00:02:35,956 --> 00:02:39,836
Any chance we could speak to him?
Keep it brief. I'll get you the room number.
35
00:02:39,893 --> 00:02:42,840
You'll contact us
if Mrs. Yoshida comes out of it?
36
00:02:42,896 --> 00:02:45,570
Frankly, that's a big �if.�
37
00:02:45,632 --> 00:02:48,442
Tamiko wanted to see Ground Zero,
38
00:02:48,502 --> 00:02:51,039
so we went there first.
39
00:02:51,104 --> 00:02:55,610
I don't know how, but suddenly we are lost.
40
00:02:55,676 --> 00:02:57,917
We stop to look at map...
41
00:03:00,213 --> 00:03:02,159
I'm sorry.
42
00:03:02,215 --> 00:03:05,162
Mr. Yoshida, I know this is difficult for you,
43
00:03:05,218 --> 00:03:08,791
but we need you to tell us
exactly what happened.
44
00:03:08,855 --> 00:03:11,802
Street was empty.
45
00:03:11,858 --> 00:03:13,963
Suddenly, a man comes over.
46
00:03:14,027 --> 00:03:16,200
He ask, what time is it?
47
00:03:16,263 --> 00:03:20,575
I look at my watch...
10 minutes past 11:00.
48
00:03:20,634 --> 00:03:23,843
I look up. I see he is pointing gun.
49
00:03:23,904 --> 00:03:26,612
Can you describe him?
50
00:03:26,673 --> 00:03:28,619
Black man.
51
00:03:28,675 --> 00:03:31,781
Big. Black hat.
52
00:03:31,845 --> 00:03:34,223
What kind of hat?
53
00:03:34,281 --> 00:03:36,261
Soft, you pull down.
54
00:03:36,316 --> 00:03:38,262
Like a stocking cap?
55
00:03:38,318 --> 00:03:40,161
Anni uh, baggy black,
56
00:03:40,220 --> 00:03:43,030
like clothes you wear to exercise.
57
00:03:43,090 --> 00:03:45,502
Can you say how tall he was?
58
00:03:45,559 --> 00:03:47,596
About two meter.
59
00:03:47,661 --> 00:03:51,040
Like you.
So what happened after he pulled the gun?
60
00:03:51,098 --> 00:03:53,044
I give him money,
61
00:03:53,100 --> 00:03:56,377
but he said he wanted her necklace.
62
00:03:56,436 --> 00:03:59,781
Tamiko, her English is no good.
63
00:03:59,840 --> 00:04:03,253
She was confused.
Her brain freeze.
64
00:04:04,277 --> 00:04:06,814
I told her...
[Japanese]
65
00:04:09,449 --> 00:04:12,259
I told her to give it to him,
66
00:04:12,319 --> 00:04:14,390
but she couldn't remove...
67
00:04:15,789 --> 00:04:19,134
- [Japanese]
- Uh, the clasp?
68
00:04:20,260 --> 00:04:23,264
I see his face getting very mad.
69
00:04:24,431 --> 00:04:27,878
Then bang! Tamiko fall.
70
00:04:27,934 --> 00:04:30,244
He pull the necklace off.
71
00:04:30,303 --> 00:04:32,305
So much blood everywhere.
72
00:04:33,373 --> 00:04:35,614
I tried to take the gun.
73
00:04:35,675 --> 00:04:38,019
We fight, then bang!
74
00:04:39,579 --> 00:04:43,584
My arm, here, hurt so much.
75
00:04:43,650 --> 00:04:45,596
Then he ran away.
76
00:04:45,652 --> 00:04:48,758
Did you see where?
I don't know.
77
00:04:48,822 --> 00:04:51,632
There was a van.
78
00:04:51,691 --> 00:04:53,693
I think a red van.
79
00:04:55,829 --> 00:04:59,333
I was holding Tamiko
to see if she was breathing.
80
00:05:00,433 --> 00:05:03,380
Then I hear him drive off.
81
00:05:03,436 --> 00:05:08,249
My wife was always afraid
to come to United States.
82
00:05:09,976 --> 00:05:13,753
So many guns, so much violence.
83
00:05:13,814 --> 00:05:17,489
I told her she could not live
like a flower in a bubble.
84
00:05:18,485 --> 00:05:21,261
I told her New York was great city.
85
00:05:22,255 --> 00:05:24,758
A great city.
86
00:05:28,428 --> 00:05:31,375
[Lennie] The husband's a club owner in Tokyo.
Wife's a model
87
00:05:31,431 --> 00:05:34,378
Apparently they're fairly well
known over there. Celebrities.
88
00:05:34,434 --> 00:05:37,381
They here on business?
Mm-mmm. Vacation. It was the wife's first time.
89
00:05:37,437 --> 00:05:41,544
They decided to pay a visit to Ground Zero,
got lost on the way back to the hotel.
90
00:05:41,608 --> 00:05:43,554
Welcome to the Big Apple.
91
00:05:43,610 --> 00:05:46,557
She had a little over a grand in her purse.
92
00:05:46,613 --> 00:05:50,060
Nice clothes, expensive jewelry.
Invitation for a robbery.
93
00:05:50,116 --> 00:05:52,062
What do we have so far?
94
00:05:52,118 --> 00:05:56,396
Well, we got a sketch artist to work
up a description with the husband.
95
00:05:56,456 --> 00:05:59,403
It's kinda vague.
The husband was in shock.
96
00:05:59,459 --> 00:06:01,405
Well, circulate it citywide.
97
00:06:01,461 --> 00:06:04,408
We're pulling files on similar M.O.'s
with that general description.
98
00:06:04,464 --> 00:06:07,911
What about that red van? Any make or model?
No specifics.
99
00:06:07,968 --> 00:06:09,914
And there were
no other witnesses?
100
00:06:09,970 --> 00:06:13,918
It's a commercial district, downtown on a Sunday.
The place ain't exactly hoppin'.
101
00:06:13,974 --> 00:06:16,921
Makes you wonder
what the perp was doing there.
102
00:06:16,977 --> 00:06:18,923
You think that he followed them?
103
00:06:18,979 --> 00:06:20,925
Innocent tourist gunned down in the street?
104
00:06:20,981 --> 00:06:22,927
That's shades of Miami
in the '90s.
105
00:06:22,983 --> 00:06:26,430
I remember that. What, like, 12
tourists got killed in a single year?
106
00:06:26,486 --> 00:06:29,433
Let's hope the press
doesn't run with that ball.
107
00:06:29,489 --> 00:06:33,437
Well, if he was trolling for tourists,
maybe someone saw him along the way.
108
00:06:33,493 --> 00:06:36,440
We'll retrace their steps
first thing in the morning.
109
00:06:36,496 --> 00:06:38,942
Excellent.
110
00:06:38,999 --> 00:06:41,946
I heard about those poor Japanese tourists.
It's a damn shame.
111
00:06:42,002 --> 00:06:45,950
This the guy?
Yeah. Witness described him as between 20 and 30 years old.
112
00:06:46,006 --> 00:06:47,952
You say that he might be local?
113
00:06:48,008 --> 00:06:51,455
'Cause I'm out on the streets every day with
Perry here, and the face doesn't ring a bell.
114
00:06:51,511 --> 00:06:54,617
The crime took place right over there,
Sunday morning, around 11:00 a.m.
115
00:06:54,681 --> 00:06:57,093
Oh, 11:00 a.m. on Sunday morning...
116
00:06:57,150 --> 00:06:59,596
I was uptown having Perry groomed.
117
00:06:59,653 --> 00:07:01,599
Sorry.
Thanks, anyway.
118
00:07:01,655 --> 00:07:03,601
Good luck.
119
00:07:03,657 --> 00:07:07,935
Hey. Let me guess. You got a full
description and the dude's license plate.
120
00:07:07,994 --> 00:07:09,940
They're closed on Sundays.
121
00:07:09,996 --> 00:07:13,569
But the manager told me there's a building
maintenance company a couple of blocks from here.
122
00:07:13,633 --> 00:07:16,136
Guess what they drive.
Red vans?
123
00:07:16,202 --> 00:07:18,648
[Laughs]
124
00:07:18,705 --> 00:07:22,175
We do maintenance and renovation. Mostly office buildings.
Weekends are our busiest time.
125
00:07:22,242 --> 00:07:25,189
We're looking for a black driver
between 20 and 30 years old.
126
00:07:25,245 --> 00:07:28,192
He would've got on the road
around 11:00 a.m. Sunday morning.
127
00:07:28,248 --> 00:07:31,525
What's this all about?
A couple of tourists were shot near here.
128
00:07:31,584 --> 00:07:33,530
Yeah, I heard about that.
129
00:07:33,587 --> 00:07:37,535
One of them described the assailant
as a black man driving a red van.
130
00:07:37,591 --> 00:07:39,969
So you think it's one of my men.
131
00:07:40,026 --> 00:07:42,973
You're crazy.
Look, man, we're just running down the leads we got right now.
132
00:07:43,029 --> 00:07:46,670
I got guys been with this outfit goin' on 10
years, never had no trouble with any of 'em.
133
00:07:46,733 --> 00:07:50,271
Then you won't mind if we go
inside and ask a few questions.
134
00:07:51,604 --> 00:07:55,381
I loaded up,
left here around 11:00 a.m.
135
00:07:55,442 --> 00:07:57,922
10:58, to be exact.
136
00:07:57,978 --> 00:08:00,857
You didn't happen to notice an Asian couple
a few blocks north of here, did you?
137
00:08:00,914 --> 00:08:05,090
My stop was in Brooklyn. Headed south
from here on the West Side Highway.
138
00:08:05,151 --> 00:08:07,256
What'd you say your name was?
Carlisle Davis.
139
00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:09,391
Carlisle Davis.
What time did you leave?
140
00:08:09,456 --> 00:08:14,405
I'm not sure. They were having trouble loading the
driver in front of me. Held me up a few minutes.
141
00:08:14,461 --> 00:08:17,442
Says you clocked out
of the loading dock at 11:20.
142
00:08:18,665 --> 00:08:20,872
Gentlemen, appreciate your time.
143
00:08:20,934 --> 00:08:24,905
Uh, the driver ahead of you that they were
having trouble with... what was his name?
144
00:08:24,971 --> 00:08:28,248
Tom Walker.
I don't see his card here.
145
00:08:28,308 --> 00:08:30,754
We got him
out of the dock okay.
146
00:08:30,810 --> 00:08:33,256
But he called in later
with engine trouble.
147
00:08:33,313 --> 00:08:35,259
Says he left at 11:07.
148
00:08:35,315 --> 00:08:37,852
Where was he headed?
The Bronx.
149
00:08:37,917 --> 00:08:39,726
Right time,
right direction.
150
00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:42,666
I heard the siren behind me.
151
00:08:42,722 --> 00:08:46,169
I just figured it was a speedin' thing.
I don't know anything about a shootin'.
152
00:08:46,226 --> 00:08:48,172
A speeding thing?
153
00:08:48,228 --> 00:08:50,834
Jerk in a Lexus
cut me off on Hudson.
154
00:08:50,897 --> 00:08:53,343
He must have been doing 90.
155
00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:55,812
And where were you headed?
156
00:08:55,869 --> 00:08:59,078
To the Bronx.
Some bank building.
157
00:08:59,139 --> 00:09:01,585
But you never made it.
158
00:09:01,641 --> 00:09:04,247
Tsk-tsk.
Had engine trouble along the way.
159
00:09:04,310 --> 00:09:07,257
Gee, it sounds like
it just wasn't your day.
160
00:09:07,313 --> 00:09:09,759
Stopped at a garage
over on 10th.
161
00:09:09,816 --> 00:09:12,626
West 40s.
All right. We need a name.
162
00:09:12,685 --> 00:09:15,529
It was one of those
chain places.
163
00:09:15,588 --> 00:09:18,159
You got a receipt?
Yeah, I think so.
164
00:09:18,224 --> 00:09:21,103
But, uh... �But, uh" what?
You misplaced it?
165
00:09:21,161 --> 00:09:24,608
Come on, Tom. If you're gonna lie,
at least be a little creative.
166
00:09:24,664 --> 00:09:27,201
I'm not lying.
Then give us the name of the garage.
167
00:09:27,267 --> 00:09:30,214
We'll call over there
and confirm your story.
168
00:09:32,872 --> 00:09:36,149
Okay. I didn't have engine trouble.
169
00:09:36,209 --> 00:09:40,180
I been working double shifts for three weeks.
I needed to take a little personal time.
170
00:09:40,246 --> 00:09:42,522
So you lied to your boss.
171
00:09:42,582 --> 00:09:46,689
It was my lady's birthday.
I went over there to drop off her present.
172
00:09:46,753 --> 00:09:49,290
Really? What'd you get her?
173
00:09:49,355 --> 00:09:51,062
Vacuum cleaner.

175
00:09:53,626 --> 00:09:57,199
And they say romance is dead.
Hey, I asked her what she want. That's what she said.
176
00:09:57,263 --> 00:10:00,369
All right.
We need her name and a number.
177
00:10:02,936 --> 00:10:04,882
Does my boss
have to know about this?
178
00:10:04,938 --> 00:10:08,647
Your boss is the least
of your problems now.
179
00:10:12,378 --> 00:10:15,325
And all this time I been
buying my girl jewelry and lingerie.

Tamiko Yoshida 30 minutes ago.
182
00:10:22,956 --> 00:10:24,902
Damn.
183
00:10:24,958 --> 00:10:28,201
Well, we're gonna go try the girlfriend
to see if Walker's story holds up.
184
00:10:28,261 --> 00:10:30,207
That can wait.
185
00:10:30,263 --> 00:10:33,210
Right now we've got a suspect
who fits the description...
186

driving a red van
two blocks from the crime scene.
187
00:10:36,269 --> 00:10:39,148
Let's put him in a lineup,
see if Mr. Yoshida can I.D. him.
188
00:10:39,205 --> 00:10:43,779
And, Ed, make sure to give Mr. Yoshida
condolences from the city of New York.

191
00:10:52,452 --> 00:10:56,696
This is Akiko Shindo. She's writing an
article about Tamiko for the Tokyo Sun.
192
00:10:56,756 --> 00:10:59,703
Sorry to interrupt.
Not at all. I was just leaving.

It's a big story in Japan.

My wife was very popular.
196
00:11:07,834 --> 00:11:11,372
Sir, my partner and I would like to express
condolences on behalf of the city of New York.
197
00:11:11,437 --> 00:11:13,383
We're really sorry for your loss.
198
00:11:13,439 --> 00:11:15,544
Just find the man who did this.
199
00:11:15,608 --> 00:11:17,554
Actually, that's the reason we're here.
200
00:11:17,610 --> 00:11:20,056
We have a suspect in custody.
201
00:11:21,281 --> 00:11:24,228
Already you found the man
who shot my wife?
202
00:11:24,284 --> 00:11:27,390
We'd like you to come down to the
station to see if you can identify him.
203
00:11:27,453 --> 00:11:29,399
Right now?
204
00:11:29,455 --> 00:11:31,662
I was making arrangements
for my wife's...
205
00:11:31,724 --> 00:11:34,671
We know this is
a bad time for you, but...
206
00:11:34,727 --> 00:11:38,174
I'm sorry but, uh,
it's all happening so fast.
207
00:11:38,231 --> 00:11:41,178
[Ed] We can give you
a ride if you like.
208
00:11:43,703 --> 00:11:46,707
Okay. I'll go with you now.
209
00:11:48,575 --> 00:11:52,045
[Lennie] So, you recognize
anybody there, Mr. Yoshida?
210
00:11:53,746 --> 00:11:55,692
I don't want to make mistake.
211
00:11:55,748 --> 00:11:59,355
We don't want you to make a mistake
either, so take your time.
212
00:12:00,820 --> 00:12:02,766
Very confusing.
213
00:12:02,822 --> 00:12:05,359
Angle was different.
214
00:12:05,425 --> 00:12:07,837
Everybody turn to the left.
215
00:12:12,065 --> 00:12:14,011
I'm not sure.
216
00:12:14,067 --> 00:12:16,673
I'm not so good with faces.
217
00:12:16,736 --> 00:12:18,977
It all happened so fast.

I'm sorry. I cannot be sure.

Well, the lineup
Just went down in flames.
221
00:12:33,686 --> 00:12:36,132
Walker's story checks out. He's not our guy.
Cut him loose.
222
00:12:36,189 --> 00:12:38,135
Lieutenant.
Wait.
223
00:12:38,191 --> 00:12:41,070
Councilman Murphy's on line two.
He says he'll wait. Fine.
224
00:12:41,127 --> 00:12:44,404
I got everyone from the Neighborhood Watch
to the mayor breathing down my neck.
225
00:12:44,464 --> 00:12:48,241
His Honor's involved?
The story was picked up by the national press, CNN.
226
00:12:48,301 --> 00:12:51,578
The problem is if it isn't Walker,
we're staring at a blank wall.
227
00:12:51,638 --> 00:12:56,087
Then fill in the damn blanks.
It's gotta be something somewhere.
228
00:12:56,142 --> 00:12:59,749
This guy Walker... didn't he mention
something about a car speeding on Hudson?
229

A sedan.
We're looking for a red van.
230
00:13:02,815 --> 00:13:05,762

he saw the perp drive off in it.

�There was a van.
I think a red van.
232

I was holding Tamiko to see if she was
breathing, and I hear him drive off."
233
00:13:12,926 --> 00:13:14,872
�I hear him drive off."
234
00:13:14,927 --> 00:13:18,602
Well, then he didn't actually see
the guy get in the van?
235

[Knocking]
[Van Buren] Yes?
236
00:13:22,068 --> 00:13:25,606
Thank you.
So, this speeding car... you thinking perp or witness?
237
00:13:25,672 --> 00:13:28,619
Either would do at this point.
[Sighs]
238
00:13:28,675 --> 00:13:31,519

just issued a travelers' advisory.

The Lexus speeds by Walker on
Hudson, heading north towards...
244
00:13:52,298 --> 00:13:54,244
The Holland Tunnel. It's three blocks away.
245
00:13:54,300 --> 00:13:57,907
Now with Sunday morning traffic,
he could be in Jersey in minutes.
246
00:13:57,971 --> 00:14:00,144
The tunnel has security cams.
247
00:14:02,208 --> 00:14:04,154
You said Holland Tunnel, right?
248
00:14:04,210 --> 00:14:07,419
Yeah. Sunday morning
between 11:10 and 11:20.

We don't have video at that location, but I
can give you still images. Whatever you got.

00:14:19,659 --> 00:14:22,105
How many cars you think
we gotta look through here?
254
00:14:22,161 --> 00:14:25,665
Sunday morning, 10-minute period...
about 200.
255
00:14:25,732 --> 00:14:27,678
Two hundred?
Two hundred?
256
00:14:27,734 --> 00:14:30,681
Hey, you're lucky
it wasn't rush hour.
257
00:14:36,342 --> 00:14:38,720
So, Mr. Ito,
we understand you own a Lexus.
258
00:14:38,778 --> 00:14:40,724
That's right.
259
00:14:40,780 --> 00:14:43,727
Did you take the car into Manhattan
this past Sunday? No, we stayed home.
260
00:14:43,783 --> 00:14:46,730
[Japanese]
Did anybody else drive the car?
261
00:14:46,786 --> 00:14:49,232
Our grandson borrowed it.
262
00:14:49,288 --> 00:14:52,497
We don't use the car a lot.
Sometimes Bobby borrows it.
263
00:14:52,558 --> 00:14:54,504
When did he
bring it back to you?
264
00:14:54,560 --> 00:14:57,507
[Mrs. Ito] Monday. He even
took it to the car wash.
265
00:14:57,563 --> 00:14:59,634
Is this your grandson?
266
00:15:00,967 --> 00:15:03,914
Looks like he's running out
of room for those tattoos.
267
00:15:03,970 --> 00:15:08,282
To the younger generation, it's fashionable.
Body art. Self-expression.
268
00:15:08,341 --> 00:15:11,447
Did your grandson
drive the car into Manhattan?
269
00:15:11,511 --> 00:15:14,117
He went to Trenton,
not Manhattan.
270
00:15:14,180 --> 00:15:17,718
I don't understand why
you are asking all these questions.
271
00:15:17,784 --> 00:15:20,731
This is just a routine follow-up
to a stolen car,
272
00:15:20,787 --> 00:15:23,734
but since you've cleared everything up,
we're gonna be on our way.
273
00:15:23,790 --> 00:15:26,031
Thank you very much.
Thank you.
274
00:15:27,293 --> 00:15:30,240
So, you wanna tell me what the
bum's rush was all about?
275
00:15:30,296 --> 00:15:33,743
You check out the tats on the grandson?
Yeah, the grandma said that's body art.
276
00:15:33,800 --> 00:15:35,746
That's yakuza insignia.
Yakuza?
277
00:15:35,802 --> 00:15:38,009
Yeah, Japanese gangsters.
Yeah, I know what yakuza are.
278
00:15:38,071 --> 00:15:40,449
But how does a kid from New Jersey
get hooked up with them?
279
00:15:40,506 --> 00:15:44,147
In the '80s, they had a foothold in Hawaii
selling crystal meth and guns.
280
00:15:44,210 --> 00:15:47,680
Then they got into gambling and
prostitution in Vegas and California.
281
00:15:47,747 --> 00:15:51,194
Over the past few years, they've built up
a small presence here on the East Coast.
282
00:15:51,250 --> 00:15:54,697
Did you ever have any run-ins with
them when you were with the gang unit?
283
00:15:54,754 --> 00:15:58,224
Uh-uh. They were pretty much
under the radar back then.
284
00:15:58,291 --> 00:16:01,238
And we can connect Bobby Ito
to yakuza how?
285
00:16:01,294 --> 00:16:03,240
Take a look at his sheet.
286
00:16:03,296 --> 00:16:05,742

narcotics, possession.
287
00:16:05,798 --> 00:16:08,404
His last bust
was a drug deal in '02.
288
00:16:08,467 --> 00:16:11,914
He was collared along with two
known yakuza members from Japan.
289
00:16:11,971 --> 00:16:13,973
And where is young Mr. Ito now?
290
00:16:14,040 --> 00:16:16,816
His super says that he hasn't
been in his apartment since Sunday.
291
00:16:16,876 --> 00:16:18,822
We have a detail
staking out his place.
292
00:16:18,878 --> 00:16:22,325
Japanese victims, Japanese gang
member speeding away from the scene.
293
00:16:22,381 --> 00:16:24,793
It'd have to be
an awfully big coincidence.
294
00:16:24,851 --> 00:16:29,027
We're still working on the details, but Mr. Yoshida's
nightclub in Tokyo... it's in the Ginza district,
295
00:16:29,088 --> 00:16:31,034
which is yakuza territory.
296
00:16:31,090 --> 00:16:33,536
So, yakuza tries to take him out,
297
00:16:33,593 --> 00:16:37,040
and Yoshida fingers a fictitious
black assailant as the shooter.
298
00:16:37,096 --> 00:16:40,839
Which gets him off the hook. He's
certainly not gonna testify against them.
299
00:16:40,900 --> 00:16:43,847
I don't think they have witness
protection in Japan. [Cell Phone Rings]

Hey, Ed, look at this.
A .22.
310

That's not mine.
You guys planted it.
311

You know, that's really original.
I never heard that before.

[Ed] You said you were home all
day on Sunday. What'd you do?

Watched TV, slept.
314
00:17:26,112 --> 00:17:30,060
That's funny, 'cause the cameras at the Holland Tunnel
put you three blocks away from the crime scene...
315
00:17:30,116 --> 00:17:32,062
minutes after the shooting.
316
00:17:32,118 --> 00:17:34,120
It wasn't me.

I don't know who this is.

That's the woman you gunned down. She died yesterday.
I didn't shoot anybody.
319
00:17:42,061 --> 00:17:45,508
You should have made sure her husband was dead too.
Now he's gonna be able to identify you.
320
00:17:45,565 --> 00:17:47,511
No, he won't,
'cause I wasn't there.
321
00:17:47,567 --> 00:17:50,810
They had to wait until she was dead
to mg the slug out of her skull.
322

Turns out it was from
a .22 Smith &Wesson.

to jump out of the window with.

Lennie, how long do you think it's gonna
take before Ballistics makes a match?
325
00:18:00,580 --> 00:18:03,959
You know, it'd be a lot better for you
if you came clean now.
326
00:18:08,254 --> 00:18:10,564
Look, we know the man you shot...
327
00:18:10,623 --> 00:18:12,569
has ties with the yakuza in Japan.

Hiroji Yoshida paid my client

He contacted Mr. Ito

Two days before the shooting,
360
00:19:59,598 --> 00:20:02,545
my client met Yoshida
at a diner near his hotel.
361
00:20:02,601 --> 00:20:06,708
They went over the details.
Yoshida gave him five grand for the job.

The police found $300 on you

Did Mr. Yoshida happen to mention
why he wanted his wife dead?

I didn't ask. I just did the job.
We don't have all the particulars.
366

But word on the street is...
367
00:20:20,820 --> 00:20:23,960
Yoshida owed big-time
to one of the oyabun in Tokyo.
368
00:20:24,023 --> 00:20:27,300
Analogous to
one of the Mafia bosses.
369
00:20:27,360 --> 00:20:29,636
He's into gambling, Yoshida.
370
00:20:30,896 --> 00:20:32,842
How much did Yoshida
owe the yakuza?
371
00:20:32,898 --> 00:20:35,469
A hundred million yen.
372
00:20:35,534 --> 00:20:40,313
- I left my currency converter
back at the office. - A million bucks, give or take.
373
00:20:44,477 --> 00:20:46,753
He's the one who got shot, right?
374
00:20:46,812 --> 00:20:50,419
I saw his face on the news and I was, like
�Hey, I served that guy pancakes.�
375
00:20:50,483 --> 00:20:53,430
When was he here?
A few days before the shooting.
376
00:20:53,486 --> 00:20:57,093
I'm not usually into Japanese guys,
but he was really cute.
377
00:20:57,156 --> 00:20:59,432
Not to mention a huge flirt.
378
00:20:59,492 --> 00:21:03,440
It's always the married ones, right?
He told you he was married?
379
00:21:03,496 --> 00:21:07,444
I saw him take a woman's picture
out of his wallet and show it to the other Japanese guy.
380
00:21:07,500 --> 00:21:10,447
Figured it had to be his wife or girlfriend.
381
00:21:10,503 --> 00:21:12,449
Either way, he was off-limits.
382
00:21:12,505 --> 00:21:15,952
What did this other guy look like?
Young Japanese-American guy.
383
00:21:16,008 --> 00:21:17,954
Kinda scary looking, actually.
384
00:21:18,010 --> 00:21:21,457
He had all these tattoos
all over his arms, wall-to-wall.
385
00:21:21,514 --> 00:21:24,791
What's this about, anyway?
I thought the police were after a black guy.
386
00:21:24,850 --> 00:21:28,127
Ms. Chen, do you mind
coming down to the precinct to view a lineup?
387
00:21:28,187 --> 00:21:30,531
Sure. No problem.
388
00:21:30,589 --> 00:21:32,830
I'm off at 2:00.
389
00:21:32,892 --> 00:21:37,637
A waitress at the diner confirmed
that she saw Ito and Yoshida eating breakfast together.
390
00:21:37,696 --> 00:21:40,575
She's sure it was Ito?
She just picked him out of a lineup.
391
00:21:40,633 --> 00:21:43,079
Independent corroboration
that Ito and Yoshida met.
392
00:21:43,135 --> 00:21:45,411
That's enough to prove conspiracy.
Motive?
393
00:21:45,471 --> 00:21:49,419
The New York City Coroner
just got a request for Tamiko Yoshida's death certificate...
394
00:21:49,475 --> 00:21:51,421
from Nippon Life Insurance
in Tokyo.
395
00:21:51,477 --> 00:21:54,549
They needed it to pay out
the $3 million policy...
396
00:21:54,613 --> 00:21:58,060
her husband took out on her
four months before the murder.
397
00:21:58,117 --> 00:22:00,563
So he could pay off
his gambling debt.
398
00:22:00,619 --> 00:22:03,065
Ain't love grand?
399
00:22:03,122 --> 00:22:07,093
Make a deal with this Ito character
and get over to the Japanese consulate to talk extradition.
400
00:22:07,159 --> 00:22:10,333
Isn't there a risk
that they'll tip off Yoshida or leak the story to the media?
401
00:22:10,396 --> 00:22:13,400
Tell the consul
I'm relying on his discretion.
402
00:22:17,336 --> 00:22:21,785
You will excuse me if your theory
is a bit difficult to digest, Mr. McCoy
403
00:22:21,841 --> 00:22:24,788
Actually, it's a more than a theory
at this point.
404
00:22:24,844 --> 00:22:27,347
I came here to discuss
the possibility...
405
00:22:27,413 --> 00:22:30,360
of extraditing Mr. Yoshida
to the United States.
406
00:22:30,416 --> 00:22:33,363
Where he will be tried
for the murder of his wife.
407
00:22:33,419 --> 00:22:35,365
Presumably, yes.
408
00:22:35,421 --> 00:22:39,699
And this request comes
personally from Mr. Branch? Yes, it does.
409
00:22:41,227 --> 00:22:44,731
I do not know how familiar you are
with Japanese law.
410
00:22:44,797 --> 00:22:49,610
I know when a Japanese national
commits a crime overseas he can be tried in japan.
411
00:22:49,668 --> 00:22:53,138
So why go through all the trouble
and expense of extradition?
412
00:22:53,205 --> 00:22:55,617
Because this is a circumstantial case,
413
00:22:55,674 --> 00:23:00,589
and Japanese courts
give more weight to physical evidence than American courts.
414
00:23:00,646 --> 00:23:05,652
Also, Japan has no law against
merely conspiring to commit a crime.
415
00:23:05,718 --> 00:23:09,495
Well, I respect your position.
416
00:23:10,689 --> 00:23:12,635

00:23:12,691 --> 00:23:18,300

will be arrived upon... in time.

Yoshida's ours,
and there's no way in hell we're gonna cooperate with you.
420
00:23:25,137 --> 00:23:28,482
The Japanese don't have
a close relationship to the word �No.�
421
00:23:28,541 --> 00:23:31,112
Problem is,
if he's acquitted in japan,
422
00:23:31,177 --> 00:23:34,750
the double jeopardy provision
of the U.S.- Japan extradition treaty...
423
00:23:34,813 --> 00:23:37,760
prevents us from getting
a shot at him when they're through.
424
00:23:37,816 --> 00:23:41,263
I don't want us
to have a shot at him. I want us to have the shot.

He picks our city... my city...
to murder his wife in; then he turns around and blames it on us.

the 82nd Airborne on your payroll, I don't see how we're gonna get him.

00:27:21,607 --> 00:27:24,554
The People cooked up
that little fantasy, Your Honor.
489
00:27:24,610 --> 00:27:28,490
The truth is Mr. and Mrs. Yoshida
were both victims of a brutal armed robbery.
490
00:27:28,547 --> 00:27:32,654
The People seek remand.
The defendant is a foreign national with absolutely no ties to this jurisdiction.
491
00:27:32,718 --> 00:27:36,461
He's a flight risk.
Your Honor, my client shouldn't even be in this jurisdiction.
492
00:27:36,522 --> 00:27:40,561
He was lured here from Japan
through fraudulent conduct on the part of the district attorney's office.
493
00:27:40,626 --> 00:27:42,469
After he fled the United States.
494
00:27:42,528 --> 00:27:45,998
He wasn't fleeing.
He was simply returning home to bury his wife's ashes.
495
00:27:46,064 --> 00:27:49,341
Sounds like an argument between
the U.S. and Japanese governments.
496
00:27:49,401 --> 00:27:52,348
Also sounds completely irrelevant
to these proceedings.
497
00:27:52,404 --> 00:27:55,248
Defendant is remanded.
[Gavel Bangs]
498
00:27:55,307 --> 00:28:00,450
No matter how you spin it, counselors,
this little deception is a new low, even for your office.
499
00:28:00,512 --> 00:28:04,619
I can cite case after case
permitting law enforcement to use trickery to obtain confessions.
500
00:28:04,683 --> 00:28:06,629
Why not to compel presence?
501
00:28:06,685 --> 00:28:10,633
Because you can't use trickery
to do an end run around extradition treaties.
502
00:28:10,689 --> 00:28:15,934
You not only duped my client,
you also misled every person who viewed that so-called press conference.
503
00:28:15,994 --> 00:28:18,941
I don't need a lecture on morality
from you, Mr. Olson.
504
00:28:18,997 --> 00:28:21,841
We're here because your client
killed his wife.
505
00:28:21,900 --> 00:28:24,210
I did not kill my wife
[McCoy] No.
506
00:28:24,269 --> 00:28:27,216
- You paid someone else to do it.
- That is a lie.
507
00:28:27,272 --> 00:28:31,379
If your case hinges on the testimony
of a career criminal who cut a deal to save his own skin...
508
00:28:31,443 --> 00:28:35,448
We have an eyewitness
who can put the shooter, Bobby Ito, with Mr. Yoshida.
509
00:28:37,816 --> 00:28:39,693
A witness?
510
00:28:39,751 --> 00:28:43,824
She saw them
eating together at a restaurant two days before the murder.
511
00:28:43,889 --> 00:28:48,497
Two men sharing a meal
I'm sure Mr. Yoshida has a perfectly viable explanation.
512
00:28:48,560 --> 00:28:52,064
Can he also explain why he purchased
a $3 million life insurance policy on his wife...
513
00:28:52,131 --> 00:28:55,135
just a few months
before her death?
514
00:28:59,905 --> 00:29:03,079
[Whispering]
515
00:29:06,945 --> 00:29:11,792
I, uh, obviously haven't had
enough time to review all the details with my client.
516
00:29:12,918 --> 00:29:14,864
I'll see you in court.
517
00:29:14,920 --> 00:29:17,093
The question is, which court?
518
00:29:17,155 --> 00:29:19,157
Motion to change venue.
519
00:29:25,130 --> 00:29:28,873
[Olson] Your Honor, my client
cannot possibly receive a fair trial in any of the five boroughs.
520
00:29:28,934 --> 00:29:30,880
Public opinion
is clearly against him.
521
00:29:30,936 --> 00:29:36,511
Mr. Yoshida stages a murder,
fabricates a story, blames the city, enflames public opinion,
522
00:29:36,575 --> 00:29:40,785
and now he raises the possible back/ash
as a basis for change of venue?
523
00:29:40,846 --> 00:29:44,953
The point is, my jury pool
is made up of the very people he bad-mouthed.
524
00:29:45,017 --> 00:29:48,897
Mr. Olson, where would you
propose I move this case, were I so inclined?
525
00:29:48,954 --> 00:29:50,900
Any location
other than New York City.
526
00:29:50,956 --> 00:29:52,902
Upstate someplace.
527
00:29:52,958 --> 00:29:56,531
Where they share Mr. Yoshida's
low opinion of New York City.
528
00:29:56,595 --> 00:29:59,701
Counselor, relax.
It wasn't just a hypothetical.
529
00:30:01,466 --> 00:30:05,209
Change of venue is reserved for cases
that present a bias so pervasive...
530
00:30:05,270 --> 00:30:09,116
that it cannot be overcome
in the normal process of jury selection.
531
00:30:09,174 --> 00:30:11,620
Your Honor,
my client is presumed innocent,
532
00:30:11,677 --> 00:30:14,089
and as such is entitled
to an unbiased jury.
533
00:30:15,280 --> 00:30:18,284
That's what voir dire is for.
534
00:30:20,886 --> 00:30:25,096
Mr. Roberts, have you heard
anything about this case before today?
535
00:30:25,157 --> 00:30:27,103
Of course.
On the news.
536
00:30:27,159 --> 00:30:31,938
Based on what you've heard or read,
have you formed an opinion about the facts in this case?
537
00:30:31,997 --> 00:30:35,001
My wife says I don't have
much of an opinion about anything.
538
00:30:36,535 --> 00:30:40,073
If the evidence against the defendant
proved his case beyond a reasonable doubt,
539
00:30:40,138 --> 00:30:42,516
would you have any problem
voting guilty in the jury room?
540
00:30:42,574 --> 00:30:44,576
Not one bit.
Thank you.
541
00:30:45,744 --> 00:30:48,350
How about you,
Mrs. Nickerson?
542
00:30:48,413 --> 00:30:51,917
Have you read or seen anything
on the news about this case?
543
00:30:51,984 --> 00:30:54,055
Yes, I heard about it.
Poor woman.
544
00:30:54,119 --> 00:30:58,499
Mrs. Nickerson, do you think
you'd be able to weigh the evidence impartially...
545
00:30:58,557 --> 00:31:00,503
and make a determination...
546
00:31:00,559 --> 00:31:03,631
not whether Mr. Yoshida
accused a black man of killing his wife,
547
00:31:03,695 --> 00:31:05,936
but whether he hired
a hit man to do it?
548
00:31:05,998 --> 00:31:09,104
Innocent until proven guilty.
549
00:31:09,167 --> 00:31:12,944
But I would like to know
why he accused a black man in the first place.
550
00:31:13,005 --> 00:31:15,212
[McCoy]
Mm-hmm. Thank you.
551
00:31:17,175 --> 00:31:20,122
Ms. Talbot, have you
followed this case in the press?
552
00:31:20,178 --> 00:31:21,680
Yes.
553
00:31:21,747 --> 00:31:25,889
Based on what you've seen or read,
have you formed an opinion about it?
554
00:31:25,951 --> 00:31:28,454
No. I try not to prejudge.
555
00:31:28,520 --> 00:31:30,466
Thank you.
556
00:31:30,522 --> 00:31:32,866
No further questions,
Your Honor.
557
00:31:37,629 --> 00:31:40,633
Mr. Roberts, you said
you'd heard about this case.
558
00:31:40,699 --> 00:31:42,645
What did you hear, exactly?
559
00:31:42,701 --> 00:31:47,844
When it happened,
I heard on the news that he said a black guy did it.
560
00:31:47,906 --> 00:31:52,082
- How did that make you feel?
- Like I was glad I was in Queens that day.
561
00:31:52,144 --> 00:31:54,488
I'll bet it did.
Thank you.
562
00:31:56,048 --> 00:32:00,519
Mrs. Nickerson, were you surprised
to hear that Mr. Yoshida had been arrested in this case?
563
00:32:00,585 --> 00:32:03,589
Surprised?
I suppose so, yes.
564
00:32:03,655 --> 00:32:07,762
But it wasn't the first time you'd heard
about a black man being accused of a crime he didn't commit.
565
00:32:07,826 --> 00:32:09,772
Unfortunately, no.
566
00:32:09,828 --> 00:32:14,072
Susan Smith did the same thing.
So did that fella up in Boston.
567
00:32:14,132 --> 00:32:16,078
Charles Stuart?
Mmm.
568
00:32:16,134 --> 00:32:18,171
Would you say
you felt a bit weary?
569
00:32:19,671 --> 00:32:22,618
That would be a good description
of howl felt, yes.
570
00:32:24,309 --> 00:32:26,880
Mrs. Lovell, what about you?
571
00:32:26,945 --> 00:32:29,289
Have you read or heard
about this case? No.
572
00:32:29,347 --> 00:32:32,760
Actually, I haven't.
I hate the news. It's depressing.
573
00:32:32,818 --> 00:32:35,196
But you've gathered
from listening here today...
574
00:32:35,253 --> 00:32:39,895
that Mr. Yoshida has blamed
a black man for killing his wife.
575
00:32:39,958 --> 00:32:41,904
Yes, that's what it sounds like.
576
00:32:41,960 --> 00:32:44,804
You said you find the news
�depressing.�
577
00:32:44,863 --> 00:32:47,571
Racism, violence, politicians lying.
578
00:32:47,632 --> 00:32:50,909
I'd rather watch the Discovery Channel.
Thank you.
579
00:32:52,637 --> 00:32:54,639
No further questions,
Your Honor.
580
00:32:55,807 --> 00:32:58,447
Mr. McCoy, do you have
any challenges for cause?
581
00:32:59,911 --> 00:33:02,391
Juror Number One,
582
00:33:02,447 --> 00:33:04,393
Juror Number Five...
583
00:33:04,449 --> 00:33:06,952
and Juror Number Nine.
584
00:33:07,018 --> 00:33:09,589
[Judge]
Mr. Olson do you have any challenges for cause?
585
00:33:10,889 --> 00:33:14,462
Juror Number Four,
Juror Number Six...
586
00:33:14,526 --> 00:33:16,836
and Juror Number Eight.
587
00:33:21,333 --> 00:33:23,677
Your Honor,
may we approach the bench?
588
00:33:23,735 --> 00:33:25,737
Approach,
589
00:33:27,405 --> 00:33:30,352
Your Honor, the People have
a reverse Batson application.
590
00:33:30,408 --> 00:33:34,823
Mr. Olson has excluded
all the African-American jurors seated on the panel.
591
00:33:34,880 --> 00:33:37,554
And Mr. McCoy
has excluded the only Asian.
592
00:33:37,616 --> 00:33:41,962
I think it was obvious to this court
that Juror Number Nine had a poor grasp of the English language.
593
00:33:42,020 --> 00:33:45,001
That was the basis of my challenge.
Of course it was.
594
00:33:45,056 --> 00:33:47,058
Let's discuss this in chambers.
595
00:33:48,093 --> 00:33:51,631
The media has stirred up
all kinds of racial resentment against Mr. Yoshida,
596
00:33:51,696 --> 00:33:55,906
which I believe has necessarily
influenced the impartiality of the jurors I've challenged.
597
00:33:55,967 --> 00:34:00,473
In other words, these black jurors are lying
when they say they can consider the evidence on the merits.
598
00:34:00,539 --> 00:34:02,985
Not lying, Jack.
Kidding themselves.
599
00:34:03,041 --> 00:34:06,318
The fundamental question is,
can my client receive a fair trial...
600
00:34:06,378 --> 00:34:10,986
from jurors whose prejudices
have been inflamed by the media coverage of this case?
601
00:34:11,049 --> 00:34:12,995
Interesting point.
602
00:34:13,051 --> 00:34:14,997
Is this court prepared to rule...
603
00:34:15,053 --> 00:34:18,466
that the courts
can assume a person's bias based on their skin color?
604
00:34:18,523 --> 00:34:21,163
No, but this court
is prepared to rule...
605
00:34:21,226 --> 00:34:23,172
that in a case...
606
00:34:23,228 --> 00:34:27,142
where a potential juror
likens the defendant to Susan Smith...
607
00:34:27,198 --> 00:34:31,146
and another states he's glad
he was in Queens that day,
608
00:34:31,203 --> 00:34:34,650
there's a genuine issue
of whether they can be fair, regardless of their skin color.
609
00:34:34,706 --> 00:34:36,652
Where does it stop?
610
00:34:36,708 --> 00:34:40,485
If counsel has his way,
there couldn't be a single person of color on this jury.
611
00:34:40,545 --> 00:34:46,120
My primary concern
is not only with Batson, but with fundamental fairness.
612
00:34:46,184 --> 00:34:48,824
Defense challenges for cause
will stand.
613
00:34:54,125 --> 00:34:57,072
I served him breakfast
at a diner where I waitress.
614
00:34:57,128 --> 00:35:00,405
I remember the tattoos on his arms.
Was Mr. Ito alone?
615
00:35:00,465 --> 00:35:02,342
He was with Mr. Yoshida.
616
00:35:02,400 --> 00:35:05,279
I saw Mr. Yoshida give him
a photograph of a woman.
617
00:35:05,337 --> 00:35:07,339
Did you get a good look
at this photograph?
618
00:35:07,405 --> 00:35:09,612
Close enough to see that
she was a young Asian woman.
619
00:35:09,674 --> 00:35:11,620
Very pretty.
620
00:35:11,676 --> 00:35:14,179
Thank you, Ms. Chen.
621
00:35:16,915 --> 00:35:18,952
Ms. Chen,
622
00:35:19,017 --> 00:35:21,258
would it be fair to say that...
623
00:35:21,319 --> 00:35:25,699
you've waited on thousands of people
in the time you've worked at the diner?
624
00:35:25,757 --> 00:35:28,260
Yes.
Yet all these many months later,
625
00:35:28,326 --> 00:35:30,704
you clearly remember
Mr. Yoshida.
626
00:35:30,762 --> 00:35:35,472
- He must have made quite an impression.
- I saw him on the news a few days later.
627
00:35:35,533 --> 00:35:38,036
Have you ever met anyone who was on TV?
No, I haven't.
628
00:35:38,103 --> 00:35:40,276
Isn't it possible
that you got mixed up,
629
00:35:40,338 --> 00:35:43,285
that Mr. Yoshida's face looked familiar
not from the diner,
630
00:35:43,341 --> 00:35:46,515
but from the extensive news coverage
this case received?
631
00:35:46,578 --> 00:35:48,580
[Ms. Chen]
I don't think so.
632
00:35:48,647 --> 00:35:52,493
May I remind you, Ms. Chen
that a man's life is at stake.
633
00:35:52,551 --> 00:35:55,555
Are you 100% sure
that you're not mistaken?
634
00:35:58,924 --> 00:36:02,736
I don't think any of us
can ever be 100% sure of anything.
635
00:36:05,063 --> 00:36:07,009
Thank you.
636
00:36:07,065 --> 00:36:09,067
No further questions.
637
00:36:10,402 --> 00:36:13,144
Mr. Ito, how old were you...
638
00:36:13,205 --> 00:36:17,847
when you first became a member
of the Japanese criminal organization known as the yakuza?
639
00:36:17,909 --> 00:36:20,788
I was 13, after my father died.
640
00:36:20,845 --> 00:36:25,692
Mr. Ito, you have tattoos
covering your entire upper body. Isn't that correct?
641
00:36:25,750 --> 00:36:27,923
Correct. Body murals.
642
00:36:27,986 --> 00:36:30,990
Could you show the court...
643
00:36:31,056 --> 00:36:33,127
your forearms, please?
644
00:36:38,163 --> 00:36:41,201
What is the significance
of these body murals?
645
00:36:41,266 --> 00:36:43,644
They show which clan
I belong to in yakuza.
646
00:36:43,702 --> 00:36:45,704
It's an old tradition.
647
00:36:47,472 --> 00:36:51,614
Can you tell us the first time
you had contact with Mr. Yoshida?
648
00:36:51,676 --> 00:36:53,678
A yakuza in Japan called me.
649
00:36:54,980 --> 00:36:59,451
He said there was a man in Tokyo
who would contact me about doing a job for him.
650
00:36:59,517 --> 00:37:02,191
A few weeks later,
Mr. Yoshida called me.
651
00:37:02,253 --> 00:37:04,199
When did you actually meet Yoshida?
At the diner.
652
00:37:04,255 --> 00:37:06,098
Two days before the shooting?
Right.
653
00:37:06,157 --> 00:37:07,966
What was the purpose
of that meeting?
654
00:37:08,026 --> 00:37:10,973
Mr. Yoshida wanted me to kill his wife
and make it look like a robbery.
655
00:37:11,029 --> 00:37:13,339
He told me to shoot her in the head,
him in the arm.
656
00:37:13,398 --> 00:37:16,709
[McCoy] To kill her and not him.
657
00:37:16,768 --> 00:37:18,714
That's right.
658
00:37:18,770 --> 00:37:21,512
Did you two discuss
a location for this shooting?
659
00:37:21,573 --> 00:37:25,715
I suggested the spot.
Sundays it's deserted, no witnesses.
660
00:37:25,777 --> 00:37:29,884
Did Mr. Yoshida say why
he had chosen New York City...
661
00:37:29,948 --> 00:37:32,724
over, say, Tokyo
to kill his wife?
662
00:37:32,784 --> 00:37:37,529
He said that black people
commit so much crime in New York the police can't keep up.
663
00:37:39,324 --> 00:37:42,328
Thank you.
Nothing further.
664
00:37:46,464 --> 00:37:49,411
Let's put our cards
on the table, Mr. Ito.
665
00:37:49,467 --> 00:37:51,413
Murder for hire.
666
00:37:51,469 --> 00:37:54,916
- You could have been indicted
in this case for first-degree murder. - That's right.
667
00:37:54,973 --> 00:37:58,443
But instead, you plead guilty
to a reduced charge of second-degree murder.
668
00:37:58,510 --> 00:38:00,615
Yeah.
And agreed to testify against Mr. Yoshida.
669
00:38:02,280 --> 00:38:05,454
This isn't your first time
in a courtroom, is it? No.
670
00:38:05,517 --> 00:38:08,396
In fact, you have
three prior criminal convictions,
671
00:38:08,453 --> 00:38:11,297
all involving illegal activities
tied to the yakuza,
672
00:38:11,356 --> 00:38:13,302
a known criminal organization.
673
00:38:13,358 --> 00:38:15,201
If you say so.
674
00:38:15,260 --> 00:38:17,206
No, Mr. Ito.
675
00:38:17,262 --> 00:38:21,506
The People of the States
of New York and New Jersey say so.
676
00:38:27,539 --> 00:38:32,079
[Olson]
Mr. Yoshida, can you tell the court who shot you and your wife?
677
00:38:32,143 --> 00:38:34,089
Mr. Ito.
678
00:38:34,145 --> 00:38:37,592
And you're sure about this?
Tamiko and I were sightseeing.
679
00:38:37,649 --> 00:38:40,823
We stop to look at map, Mr. Ito appear.
680
00:38:40,885 --> 00:38:43,161
He said he had a message from Tokyo.
681
00:38:43,221 --> 00:38:45,223
Then he shoot us.
682
00:38:45,290 --> 00:38:48,499
Why did you tell the police
a black man did it?
683
00:38:49,861 --> 00:38:51,807
I'm very sorry about that.
684
00:38:51,863 --> 00:38:53,809
I was scared.
685
00:38:53,865 --> 00:38:57,472
I know if I say it was a yakuza
they would kill me.
686
00:38:57,535 --> 00:39:01,813
So you lied because you were afraid
of reprisals from the yakuza?
687
00:39:01,873 --> 00:39:03,819
Yes.
688
00:39:03,875 --> 00:39:08,449
When Mr. Ito told you
that he had a message from Tokyo, what did you understand him to mean?
689
00:39:08,513 --> 00:39:11,460
My nightclub in Tokyo is a big success.
690
00:39:11,516 --> 00:39:14,087
Big profit.
Yakuza wanted a percentage.
691
00:39:14,152 --> 00:39:16,928
I said no.
Tamiko was a warning.
692
00:39:16,988 --> 00:39:19,195
[Olson]
Why didn't they just shoot you?
693
00:39:19,257 --> 00:39:23,171
If I was dead,
I could not run the business and make money for them.
694
00:39:23,228 --> 00:39:27,108
Before the morning of the shooting,
had you ever seen Mr. Ito before? Never.
695
00:39:27,165 --> 00:39:30,112
Then how do you explain
the testimony of the waitress?
696
00:39:30,168 --> 00:39:32,114
People make mistake.
697
00:39:32,170 --> 00:39:36,778
She's Chinese. Maybe she think
all Japanese people look alike.
698
00:39:37,842 --> 00:39:39,844
Mr. Yoshida,
699
00:39:40,845 --> 00:39:43,485
did you hire Bobby Ito
to kill your wife?
700
00:39:44,849 --> 00:39:46,851
I did not.
701
00:39:48,987 --> 00:39:51,991
I loved Tamiko with all my heart.
702
00:39:55,026 --> 00:39:57,028
I still do.
703
00:39:58,596 --> 00:40:00,405
[Olson]
Nothing further.
704
00:40:02,200 --> 00:40:05,147
You say your nightclub in Tokyo
is very profitable.
705
00:40:05,203 --> 00:40:08,150
What's the state
of your personal finances?
706
00:40:08,206 --> 00:40:10,686
I put my money
back into my business.
707
00:40:10,742 --> 00:40:12,847
Do you owe anyone money?
The bank.
708
00:40:12,911 --> 00:40:14,652
What about the yakuza?
Objection.
709
00:40:14,712 --> 00:40:16,191
Sustained.
710
00:40:16,247 --> 00:40:19,194
Your wife was only 28 years old
when she was murdered.
711
00:40:19,250 --> 00:40:21,730
Yes.
How would you describe her health?
712
00:40:21,786 --> 00:40:23,561
She was healthy.
713
00:40:23,621 --> 00:40:26,192
Your Honor, People's exhibit 14.
714
00:40:26,257 --> 00:40:30,103
This is a life insurance policy
from Nippon Life that you took out four months before the murder.
715
00:40:30,161 --> 00:40:32,163
Do you recognize it?
716
00:40:33,464 --> 00:40:35,410
Life insurance for Tamiko.
717
00:40:35,466 --> 00:40:39,915
The equivalent of $3 million
for a young, healthy woman?
718
00:40:39,971 --> 00:40:43,350
She asked for it.
She was a very successful woman.
719
00:40:43,408 --> 00:40:46,685
So you didn't take out that policy
to pay off a gambling debt to the yakuza?
720
00:40:46,744 --> 00:40:49,623
Objection! Speculation.
[Judge Sommers] Sustained.
721
00:40:49,681 --> 00:40:51,627
Mr. Yoshida,
722
00:40:51,683 --> 00:40:54,630
you've just admitted
that you lied to the police.
723
00:40:54,686 --> 00:40:56,632
Why should we believe you now?
724
00:40:56,688 --> 00:40:58,634
Because I am telling the truth.
725
00:40:58,690 --> 00:41:00,465
I loved my wife.
726
00:41:00,525 --> 00:41:02,471
You told the police a lie.
727
00:41:02,527 --> 00:41:05,167
You continued to tell that lie.
728
00:41:05,230 --> 00:41:07,904
You got up in front of news cameras,
729
00:41:07,966 --> 00:41:11,243
feigning outrage
against the city of New York.
730
00:41:11,302 --> 00:41:15,478
- I am telling the truth now.
- Only after being tricked into coming back from Japan.
731
00:41:15,540 --> 00:41:19,113
Yakuza killed my wife
as a warning to me. That was the truth.
732
00:41:19,177 --> 00:41:24,149
And now that
you're being charged with murder, you're interested in the truth?
733
00:41:24,215 --> 00:41:26,217
Nothing further.
734
00:41:38,496 --> 00:41:42,967
I guess you won't be joining us
for the bar association gala tonight.
735
00:41:44,102 --> 00:41:46,048
I'm hoping for a verdict.
736
00:41:46,104 --> 00:41:48,277
You said that two days ago.
737
00:41:48,339 --> 00:41:50,785
Olson called.
738
00:41:50,842 --> 00:41:52,913
They're willing to plead
to murder two.
739
00:41:52,977 --> 00:41:57,187
Yeah? Well, tell him
he's got a better chance of catching a bat in a fly trap.
740
00:41:57,248 --> 00:41:59,524
We might have a hung jury, Arthur.
741
00:41:59,584 --> 00:42:04,124
The man made a cynical
and heartless decision to murder his wife for money
742
00:42:04,188 --> 00:42:07,658
The fact that he tried
to exploit racial divisions makes it even more heinous.
743
00:42:09,060 --> 00:42:11,006
I agree.
744
00:42:11,062 --> 00:42:13,338
I have faith in this jury...
745
00:42:13,398 --> 00:42:15,969
and the good sense
of New Yorkers.
746
00:42:37,121 --> 00:42:40,796
[Judge Sommers]
Ha ve you reached a verdict in the death of Tamiko Yoshida?
747
00:42:40,858 --> 00:42:43,065
We have, Your Honor.
748
00:42:43,127 --> 00:42:46,074
On the first count of the indictment,
murder in the first degree, how do you find the defendant, Hiroji Yoshida?
749
00:42:46,130 --> 00:42:48,701
We find the defendant guilty.
750
00:42:48,766 --> 00:42:52,680
And on the second count,
conspiracy in the second degree, how do you find the defendant?
751
00:42:52,737 --> 00:42:55,149
[Foreperson]
We find the defendant guilty
752
00:42:55,206 --> 00:42:58,676
[Judge Sommers] Jury is dismissed
with the thanks of the court.
753
00:42:58,743 --> 00:43:00,848
Short date for sentence.
754
00:43:06,584 --> 00:43:09,531
Seems kind of fitting
after trashing this country,
755
00:43:09,587 --> 00:43:13,034
Mr. Yoshida will probably get to
spend the rest of his life here.
756
00:43:13,091 --> 00:43:16,538
We got the right guy,
but Arthur was playing with fire.
757
00:43:16,594 --> 00:43:19,734
When we arrested Yoshida,
the truth came out.
758
00:43:19,797 --> 00:43:23,745
You know how newspaper retractions
are always on an inside page...
759
00:43:23,801 --> 00:43:25,747
in small print?
760
00:43:25,803 --> 00:43:29,751
You ever wonder how many people
see the front page story...
761
00:43:29,807 --> 00:43:32,310
and miss the follow-up correction?
762
00:44:14,352 --> 00:44:17,299
[Howling]
763
