hi

(male announcer)
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.

[siren]

Ten bucks says he's drunk.

Yeah, 20 bucks says
he's a rich guy who drives

like a douche bag.

License and registration.

Yeah, I...sort of jumped
that red light back there.

No harm.

Sir, have you been drinking
tonight?

No.

I had a glass of wine
a few hours ago, I'm fine.

Turn off the ignition,
step out of the car, sir.

Uh...

Look, uh, you probably
don't recognize me.

I--I'm Mitch Carroll.

You know who I am.

Out of the vehicle, sir.
Now!

Spilled a whole carafe
of wine at dinner.

Yeah, it don't look
like wine to me.

Turn around,
put your hands on the car.

Aw, don't be ridiculous.

Come on.

What are you doing?

Come on!

Carrying any drugs,
weapons?

Shove it!

Central, 39, Adam,
we got one under for D.W.I.

at Greenwich and Murray.

Requesting supervisor
on scene.

(Dispatcher)
10-4. Supervisor en route.

Mr. Carroll,
I'm Detective Cassady.

Why don't you take a seat?
Look, take the cuffs off.

And let me out
of this godforsaken rat's nest,

damn it!

You don't have
the warrants to hold me!

You blew a .13, you've been
placed under arrest for D.W.I.

Screw you, sugar tits!

I have powerful friends
who will crucify

you and your people
for even putting

your hands on me!

Can you hear that,
behind the mirror?

Look, you don't have
a scratch on you,

so that's someone else's
blood you're wearing.

Now, if that person is hurt
and needs medical attention,

we need to know now.

If there has been
an accident--

Are you a Jew?

You're a Jew, right?

I shoulda known they'd stick me
in a room with a Jew cop.

I'm not talking to a Jew!

I know the law as good
as any Jew!

Does he know he has the right
to remain silent?

I Mirandized him myself.

Baby, I am gonna
personally destroy you.

Your sad little world's
turning to shambles!

'Cause I'm gonna
have you fired!

Fired and tossed out
on your ass!

Jew co

Make sure you write down
everything he says.

The amount of blood
he was wearing,

Inspector, there's
no doubt in my mind

we're looking
at foul play here.

Well, how do the anti-Semitic
remarks fit in?

They were unprovoked.

I mean, the dude
was pretty intoxicated.

So, it might've been
the booze talking.

I think maybe the booze
was speaking from the heart.

It's inflammatory stuff,
especially in this town.

Well, it's a little early
to worry about how this

is gonna play
in the papers.

I mean, Carroll
hasn't even been booked yet.

DCPI has already gotten calls
about the arrest.

Look, I don't want
this investigation derailed

because of undue
public scrutiny.

Sir, we're moving as fast
as we can on this.

We've already dumped his phone,
his car, and his clothes

are being examined
as we speak.

Good, in the meantime, I want
you to write another report.

This time,
without the incendiary comments

or mention
of the bloody clothes.

Uh, with all due respect,
Inspector,

I don't feel comfortable
with that.

The official report containing
the redacted comments

will be locked in my safe.

Let the sanitized DD5 leak.

I want the official one included
in the case file

when it goes
to the Grand Jury.

[whispering]
Of course.

If it goes.

Now find the crime,
Detective,

and do it fast.

Copies of both reports
go in my files too.

You locked me in this room
for an hour like an animal!

You work for leeches,
Detective!

They suck the money
out of this town,

and they send it to Israel
so they can make

bombs and matzo!

Mr. Carroll,
you better calm down.

We have a court order

to collect
a blood sample from you.

I already
peed in a cup, pal!

Sit down.

You sit down,
or I sit you down.

I've done nothing wrong.

Now they arrest anybody
they want!

Jews are always playing
the victim.

But all this time, I'm the one
who's been victimized!

Would you tell him
to shut up?

Mr. Carroll, shut up.
Please.

I wanna call my son.
Later.

No, look,
John's only 14 years old.

He's home alone.

I gotta tell him
where I am.

After Nurse Esposito
takes the blood sample,

then we'll check in
on your son.

[crying]
Oh, God.

Oh, God.

[crying]

(John)
Did my dad do something wrong?

Well, that's what we're trying
to figure out.

John, maybe you can help
your dad

by answering
some of our questions.

Yeah, sure.

Did your dad come home
last night?

I don't know.

I was asleep.

We checked his phone,
he called here.

Oh, yeah, he did,
a couple times.

He woke me up.

(Green)
What'd he say?

Just that he'd be back
a little later than he planned.

Do you know where
your dad went last night?

I don't know, he just said
he was going out.

It's no big deal.

I'm usually asleep by the time
he comes home anyway.

Where's your mother?

They're divorced.

She lives in Brooklyn.

[cell phone ringing]

Green.

John, does your dad
have a girlfriend?

No.

Anyone he dates
now and then?

I don't think so.

Okay.

That was Beck.
Says he's done with the car.

So I, uh, lifted
a bunch of prints

from the vehicle, but...

Right, that could be

any parking attendant
in Midtown.

Be specific, Beck.

Keep your pants on.

Now, I luminoled the
entire car, inside and out,

and I found this.

Trace blood
in the trunk here.

The stain pattern suggests
indirect contact,

like seepage
through a sheet maybe.

So he wrapped
the victim up first.

Yeah, which would explain
why we couldn't find

any hairs or fibers.

Oh, and, uh, I found
one other piece of evidence.

Novocaine.

It's a new hot spot
in SoHo.

Yeah, Carroll had his car
cleaned on a regular basis,

so he could've hit
that spot recently.

Well done.

Thanks.

Mitch was here from 8:00
to 12:30 last night.

You seem pretty sure
of those times.

Well, my shift ended
at 1:00.

I was hoping
he'd stick around.

You talked to him?

Yeah, what a sweetheart.

And so funny
and genuine.

You know what, he doesn't
even like being famous.

(Green)
Was he by himself?

Yeah, I thought he could
use some company.

He seemed a little down.

Did he hook up?

Leave with somebody?

No, there were a couple girls
making moves,

but he didn't seem
interested.

Any reason he left
when he did?

Yeah, he said his son
was home alone.

And Mitch wanted
to check on him.

I think it's sweet.

Whatever happened
last night

went down after
you left the bar.

And I told you
I don't remember.

(Green)
You called home
three times,

which hit
three cell towers

around the city, which means
you drove around Manhattan

for an hour and a half

before the police
stopped you.

Now you must have been
doing something.

What is this?

I mean, why don't you people
believe me?

I told you,
I don't remember a thing

about last night,
damn it.

Are you just saying that
'cause you don't

wanna talk to a Jew cop?

What?

Detective Sugar Tits?

Jews control the world,
any of that ring a bell?

I never said those things.

She's Irish, by the way,
in case you wanna get

something else
off your chest.

Well, alcohol, you know,

I-I get insomnia
from alcohol.

Maybe I--I took a sleeping
pill on the way home.

I left the bar,

I woke up in jail.

Now he slept through
the whole thing.

I do not remember
a thing about last night.

I swear.

Now I think it's time
that I spoke with my attorney.

[knocking at door]

Lieutenant says somebody
called in a body.

The D.O.A. is female, white,
single gunshot wound

to the neck,
through and through.

No round, no shells.

Look like a dump job?

Good guess,
how'd you know?

Our suspect's phone hit
a cell tower

about four blocks
from here.

Who called it in?

A couple
of sanitation workers.

(Green)
Well, there's not a whole lot
of blood on the ground.

She was definitely dumped.

No ID, no purse,
clothing's intact.

Tried to make it look like
it was a robbery.

You find a bloody sheet
around here?

Like, something
she was wrapped in?

Egyptian cotton,
high thread count.

It was stuck
beneath the sofa.

I already vouchered it.

Found this in the dumpster
over there.

Thanks.

Cash, credit cards
still here.

Danielle Hertzberg.

She's Jewish.

The victim's lock
was intact,

so Carroll got let in.

He pulls his gun,

maybe Danielle
goes for the phone.

Makes sense 'cause
he dropped her right here.

The wound was through
and through.

Yeah, here. I dug this
out of the cabinet.

9-millimeter.

It's in good shape too.

Yeah, now all you gotta do
is find the gun.

[chuckles nervously]

Neighbor upstairs was
at his girlfriends' last night.

Downstairs
is a photographer.

Super says she's been
in L.A. the last six weeks.

Oh, so nobody
heard anything.

Or saw anything.

Ground floor has an exit
to an alley.

Well, make it easy
to get the body out.
Yeah.

Here's her BlackBerry,
Detective.

Thank you.
Any appointments?

She was to have dinner
last night with a Don Hamilton.

In the Soup Entertainment.

(Hamilton)
We're developing
a pilot together.

My God,
I can't believe this.

Was Mitch up for a role?

I thought he'd be great
to play Frank,

the burned-out
thoracic surgeon.

Danielle didn't want
to work with him again.

Did Carroll know that?

Oh God, do you really think
that was it?

Could he have been
that desperate?

I talked to his agent
last week.

I thought some gentle prodding
in Danielle's direction

might melt some ice.

Were you aware that he had been
calling her recently?

Oh, yeah, she gave me an earful
about going on behind her back.

Last night, we agreed
he was out of contention.

What time
did she leave dinner?

Early...10:00.

I met some friends
for drinks afterwards.

God, I shoulda taken
Danielle home.

Any idea what her issues were
with him?

She never game me
a straight answer.

All I know is,
something happened on the show.

Whatever it was,
it must've been ugly.

Carroll hasn't had serious work
in two years.

Every other actor
from 25 to Life moved on

to bigger and better things.

Think any of them might know
what happened?

Probably Gold.

Golden boy was
Danielle's favorite.

Of course I know
what happened.

Me and that no-talent hack
threw down over it.

It was, uh,

the final wrap party
for the show.

Carroll was drunk,
blaming everyone

for why we got axed.

Danielle pulled him aside,
told him to chill.

He said the reason the show
was cancelled

was because no one
wanted to watch

a rat-Jew bastard like me.

I went for blood,
I'm telling you.

Well,
that's understandable.

Ah, it was the culmination
of six years of knocks,

of bad Jewish jokes,
greeting me with "shalom"

every time I saw him.

Kinda like white guys
who use the N word.

Now did word get around
that this was happening?

What do you think?

Who do you think runs
the studios, the networks,

all of it?

Well, we don't know
that kind of stuff, so tell us.

Look, it's true.

I got off 25 to Life
and jumped to movies.

And it wasn't because
of some dumb sitcom.

Danielle opened doors
for one of her own.

And closed 'em on Carroll.

I know she called every producer
and network executive she knew

and told them
what Carroll said.

My client drank alcohol
and took Zoldifen,

a powerful sleeping pill.

I'm confident the analysis
of his blood will confirm it.

I find it hard to believe
that he killed someone

in his sleep.

He had nothing to do
with the death of
that woman.

Tell them what you told me.

Okay.

Danielle and I talked
a few times this past week.

I wanted a part
in her new pilot.

We had a long
and fruitful discussion

about, uh, how I'd hurt
her feelings.

And, uh, I made amends.

You're lying, Mr. Carroll.

[sighing]

All right, look.

I'm broke.

I needed the work.

I begged her like a dog
till she agreed

to let me read
for the part.

She said she had to
go out and that I should

come back later and pick up
the sides.

What time did
you go there?

I went back somewhere
around, like, 1:00, I think.

The door was open.

I walked in,

and, uh...

Danielle was lying
on the kitchen floor.

And there was, you know,
blood everywhere.

So you wrapped her
in a sheet,

mopped up a pool of blood
and snuck her out to your car?

Look, I get paranoid
when I drink.

Everybody knows
what I said to her.

They're all gonna
think I did it.

That's all.

Drop the felony D.W.I.,
he pleads

to improper disposal
of the body.

Danielle Hertzberg told
her producing partner

that Mr. Carroll was out
of contention for the role.

I'm telling you people
what happened here.

I don't know
who killed Danielle.

I didn't.

I don't know, I swear.

Bachelor pad
of the rich and famous.

He's gonna love
our redecorating.

Hey, the warrant
is for his computer too!

Oh, yeah.

9-millimeter.

It's been fired recently too.

Hey!

Voucher this,
get it to ballistics,

tell 'em to match it
to the bullet we pulled

from the victim's apartment,
okay? Priority.

Hey, Ed,
you heard of this?

I saw them on CNN,

they're pop stars
of the Aryan Nation.

Oh, wow.

So hate runs in the family.

I just found a gun.

That kid could've easily
had access to it.

He's staying with his mother.
Let's go.

We found
Danielle Hertzberg's blood

on your sneakers, John.

[scoffs]
You can't be serious.

It was a solid match,
Mrs. Carroll.

You weren't home that night
when you said you were.

Were you, John?

Answer the question.

Was your father
involved in this?

I want you to tell
the truth now, John!

Shut up, Mom!

No, you don't,
you've never wanted

to know the truth!

What does that mean?

That the Jews
run everything.

They control all the money,
all the jobs.

They think they own
this city.

That's why Dad
hasn't worked.

They hate him 'cause
he's not one of them.

Did you kill her, John?

Damn right.

(Mrs. Carroll)
Oh, my God.

(Cassady)
What happened?

I took his gun,

waited for her

on the stairs
in our building.

When she came home,
I followed her inside.

Only needed one shot
to put her down.

(Green)
Damn.

Did your father tell you
to do this?

No.

How did he know
about it then?

I told him
when he came home.

And what did he do?

He freaked out.

Then he said
it was gonna be okay,

and if anyone asked,
I was home all night.

Then he left.

Why did you do this, John?

I stood up for my father,
for my race!

Oh, my God, I can't believe
this is happening.

What are you crying about?

She was just some Jew bitch!

[quiet crying]

We're gonna need a lawyer.

Would you just be quiet now?

Please be quiet now.

Please.

ber 37906,
People against Mitch Carroll.

Hindering prosecution
in the first degree,

tampering
with physical evidence.

Mr. Rosenthal, you're here
from Los Angeles.

Anything for a good friend
and client.

Mr. Carroll pleads
not guilty.

The defendant tried
to cover up a hate murder

in which he may
be implicated.

That's a lie!

Not only is that patently false,
it's appalling, Your Honor.

Ms. Rubirosa has just
single-handedly prejudiced

my client before the court
of public opinion.

How is Mitch Carroll
going to get a fair trial

after that grandstanding?

Save the fireworks for a jury,
Mr. Rosenthal.

Bail is set at $100,000.

[gavel bangs]

Docket number 38006,
People versus John Carroll,

murder in the second degree.

We enter a not-guilty plea.

The people will be seeking

a hate crime enhancement
on this.

We ask remand.

You must be kidding.

He's a 14-year-old boy
whose family lives

in the city, he's hardly
a flight risk.

He confessed to breaking
into Danielle Hertzberg's

apartment,
and I quote,

"killing the Jew bitch."

He is a danger
to the community, Judge.

Remand.

Your Honor--

I said remand,
Ms. Bailey.

Something about that
you don't understand?

[crowd chattering]

No comment,
please excuse us.

Thank you.

You did a nice job
chumming the waters.

What, we're supposed
to pull our punches

because Carroll's
a celebrity?

Can I have a word
with you?

It's a little early
for plea negotiations.

You are going to try
this kid as an adult?

He's barely hit puberty.

He wasn't caught vandalizing
the J.C.C., Justine.

He didn't become an anti-Semite
watching Sesame Street

and playing little league.

He is a victim
of his father's hate,

just like
Danielle Hertzberg.

This poison is passed down
through generations!

Unfortunately, we can't
turn back the clock.

Look, John can
still be saved.

Take him out
of his father's custody,

long-term psychiatric care,
family court supervisions.

Don't lock him up
for the rest of his life.

I'd like to hear
what he has to say

about his father's role
in the murder.

I've tried.
He won't talk about it.

Then there's nothing
to discuss.

Well, then you'll be getting
my motion to remove this

to family court,
where you know it belongs.

Why should it matter
that John picked up

his hatred of Jews
from his father?

We are prosecuting him
on his actions, not his words.

Not if we're seeking
an enhancement.

How can Bailey think
she's gonna turn the tables

on a hate crime scenario?

We have the kid's confession.

The way I read it,
she'll try to position

the father's hate
as some kind of child abuse.

Come on,
you can't lay everything

on your parents' doorstep.

My father was an Irish cop.

He'd come home from work
and rant

about the blacks, Italians,
Ukrainians.

He found out I was dating
Sheila Kowalski,

I got the back
of his hand.

And, even still, you decided
the right thing to believe.

Despite his bigotry.

Only because I didn't like him
that much.

If I'd respected him more,
I might've listened.

Okay.

So maybe this kid John
was under the control

of his father.

Even so, I don't buy it
as abuse.

A jury might.

See if there's anything
to it.

While we were still married,
it wasn't that bad.

He would point out

that someone was Jewish,
you know.

And then his sitcom got
cancelled and it changed.

He said Danielle Hertzberg
had blacklisted him,

that the Jews in Hollywood
wouldn't hire him anymore.

He just became so...
vitriolic.

Did you notice your son
picking up on the comments

Mitch made?

There was an incident
last year.

John was on the tennis team
at school.

He got into a fight
with the boy

that beat him out
for first singles.

And the boy was Jewish.

John said at his dad told him
to provoke a confrontation,

that he couldn't let
a Jew beat him.

So John just walked
over to the boy,

and he punched him
in the face.

They had to wire
his jaw.

But that's not
the worst part.

Afterwards, Mitch took John out
and bought him

a $400 tennis racket.

A reward.

Did your ex-husband ever
say anything directly to John

about Danielle Hertzberg?

He said plenty
of awful things about her.

He didn't hold back
on John's account.

Obviously,
John got the message.

John Carroll's been
in three private schools

since the sixth grade.

There've been
other incidents.

They were all
Jewish students?

Every time, with his father
cheering him on

from the sidelines
and rewarding him

when he did act.

And Carroll's
credit card records show

that they spent
several afternoons

at a gun range
in New Jersey.

So it's no accident
that John knew his way

around a semiautomatic.

Almost like he was being trained
for the murder.

Maybe it does pass
for child abuse.

I mean, it looks like
Carroll manipulated

an impressionable kid

to kill this woman.

Any proof the father
was directly involved?

I find it hard to believe
that John did the murder

without his father's help.

Carroll had the main motive.

Blamed the victim
for his failing career.

He even went out to a bar
to establish an alibi

while his son did the crime.

Hmm, well, you're still
not going to be able

to prove much
without flipping the kid.

And that's no small feat

if he has any loyalty.

All the more reason to use
as much leverage as possible.

And what if he still
doesn't turn on his father?

He has no incentive to flip
if the case winds up

in family court.

We're gonna threaten this kid
with a bazooka,

and he still
might not flinch.

We try him as an adult,
he does adult time.

What, dear old Dad
is scot-free?

We'll take that risk.

Do what you gotta do.

(Bailey)
Did your father ever convey
his attitudes

about Jewish people
to you, John?

Kind of.

It was like,
if we ever met somebody,

and then he would tell me later,
"Watch out, that guy's a Jew."

Or if we had some work done
in our apartment,

and the bill was too high,
my dad would say he got Jewed.

But he sent you
to a private school

with nearly half the students
being Jewish.

Dad said this
was New York City.

There'd always be
a lot of Jews,

and especially
in the good schools

because most of them
are super smart.

Like, it was good to hire them
to be your lawyer

or your accountant.

Nothing further.

You can cross, Mr. McCoy.

But I'll limit you

to the scope
of the statutory criteria.

Your Honor, I'm not going
to attempt to disprove

the defendant's
anti-Semitism.

It only supports
our contention

that this is a hate crime

that deserves to be aired
before a jury in criminal term.

My client was under the control
of his father's

all-pervasive anti-Semitism,
Your Honor.

We've submitted expert opinions
to support our claim of abuse.

There is circumstances here
to warrant

this be put
into family court.

The defendant's now...
14?

Old enough to know not to put
a bullet in a woman's neck

because she happens
to be Jewish.

(Judge Cale)
I have to agree, Ms. Bailey.

The hate crime aspect
is especially disturbing.

This case will go
to Part 57,

where the defendant
will be tried as an adult.

[gavel bangs]

John.

Well, I'd like to think
you've pushed this

to gain some leverage,

not that you're just
completely callous.

Let's say I'm open
to discussion,

if you can convince your client
to serve up his father.

Like I have a choice.

You said I wouldn't go
to prison.

I said it was
a possibility, John.

We lost that fight.

You confessed to the crime.

The blood on your shoes
ties you to the murder.

You're looking at 15 years.

The hate crime enhancement
pumps it up to 20 minimum.

Or it could be
the rest of your life.

It's not fair.

I don't believe you decided
to kill Danielle Hertzberg

by yourself.

You shouldn't have to bear
the burden of guilt here alone.

You want me to betray
my dad?

Hasn't he already
betrayed you?

How many times has he even come
to see you in here, John?

We checked
the visitors' log.

Not once.

You're sitting in a jail
for juvenile offenders.

He's sleeping
in his own bed tonight,

safe in the knowledge
that you're protecting him.

What's not fair
is you've been abandoned

by a wretched father.

John, you need to do
what's right for yourself.

He needs to answer
for this too.

[shaky breathing]

Dad said she was the reason
he was being shut out.

He said that he'd like
to see her dead.

That's why I decided
to kill her.

Did your father know what
you were planning to do?

Not exactly.

I told him...

she deserved to die.

He said it would never hurt
to get rid of another Jew.

What else?

That was it.

I'd like to apologize again
if the statements I made

hurt any members
of the Jewish faith.

These remarks do not represent
my true feelings.

I think you know that,
Barry.

Uh, they were made
under the influence

of alcohol
and sleep medication.

Which you admit you abuse.

Which I'm getting help for.

And, uh, I, uh, I, uh...
well, I'd like to ask

for all of your forgiveness.

[sighing]

I'm gonna be doing
a lot of soul searching.

I'm going to be reaching out
to my friends and colleagues

who are Jewish,
such as yourself, Barry,

for your help
and your guidance.

Well, I appreciate
the courage it took

to be here tonight, Mitch.

Thank you.

Thank you.

When we return, a tribute
to Croc Hunter Steve Irwin.

Stay with us.

[bell rings]

And we're clear.

That was terrific,
just terrific.

Thanks.

What's going on here?

(Barry)
What is this?

Mitch Carroll, you're
under arrest for the murder

of Danielle Hertzberg.

What?

I didn't kill anybody!

You have the right
to remain silent.

And you might want
to try that this time.

Anything you say can be used
against you

in a court of law.

If you cannot afford one,right
one will be provided for you.

for accomplice murder

because he's a bigot.

Which I am not.

For the sake
of argument.

Last I checked, our Constitution
afforded him the right

to hate anybody he wants.

I won't argue with that.

Your client took it
a step too far.

No, his son did that.

His son did exactly
what Mr. Carroll here

wanted him to do.

So you're gonna try and throw
some metaphor at us.

It's not about who fired
the gun,

it's who loaded
the bullet?

That tired rap
doesn't play anymore, Jack.

You solicited a 14-year-old boy
to use violence against Jews.

And then you pointed him
directly toward

Danielle Hertzberg,
the person you blamed

for ruining your career.

Look,
John's a good boy,

but not the brightest.

I didn't...
obviously, he confused

some of the things I'd said
about Danielle.

You gave your son training
and easy access to a handgun.

Oh, come on.

The math here
is pretty simple.

So he'll cop to first degree
bad parenting.

You're bending over backwards
to say he importuned

a murder.

My motion to suppress
the anti-Semitic statements

Mr. Carroll made
to the police.

Contrary to popular belief,
drunks make lousy confessors.

(Carroll)
Mr. McCoy,

I do not hate Jews.

Some of my best friends
are Jews.

The police knew my client

was under the influence,
Your Honor.

And the law is clear
on the matter.

Intoxication

doesn't render
a statement

made to the police
involuntary.

(Rosenthal)
People versus Chambert,

intoxication to a degree
of mania is clear grounds

for suppression.

My client was under
the influence

of the sleep drug Zoldifen.

He acted normal enough
at his arrest.

Excuse me, what's normal
about ranting uncontrollably

about a vast Jewish conspiracy
within the NYPD?

And this was because
of a sleeping drug?

Numerous studies have documented
bizarre behaviors

under the influence
of Zoldifen,

including binge-eating,
sleep-driving,

and sleep-walking.

And in those studies,
behavior

was consistently disorganized
and aimless.

Mr. Carroll, on the other hand,
disposed of a body

and had the presence of mind
to try and make it look

like a robbery.

He was caught,
I might add.

His competence
is not the issue!

Enough, Counselors.

Mr. Rosenthal, I've studied
the expert opinions.

I myself take Zoldifen
on occasion.

I'm confident that your client
was perfectly conscious

when he dumped the body.

The statements
are not unduly prejudicial.

They're in.

Then I request that you
recuse yourself, Your Honor.

Excuse me?

My client's statements
come in,

his anti-Semitism
becomes central

to the people's case.

You're married to a Jew,
the former Carol Levine?

ly maintain
objectivity.

Motion denied.

Then we request
change of venue.

This I gotta hear.

It'll be impossible
for my client

to get a fair trial here.

New York is home
to almost 2 million Jews.

That's like trying
a gay-basher in Provincetown.

As Hank Greenberg used to say,
Counselor,

"Three strikes
and you're out."

Motion denied.

We're done.

Nice yarmulke.

You're pulling out
all the stops.

Damn straight.

You're acting like a putz.

We executed a search warrant
on Mr. Carroll's home,

and under his bed,
in a case,

we found
a 9-millimeter handgun, Glock,

along with ammunition.

Is this the gun, Detective?

Yes.

Ballistics from this gun
match the bullet

that killed Ms. Hertzberg.

Please describe the condition
and access of the gun

as you found it.

The gun itself
had no trigger locks,

or safety features.

And in an open case,
under a bed,

it was easily accessible
to anyone.

You claim Mr. Carroll
made anti-Semitic remarks

when he was intoxicated.

And you noted these
in your DD5 report

marked People's 14,
is that right?

That's correct.

Request this be introduced
into evidence

as Defense Exhibit 4.

Now, I'm confused by this
completely.

There's not a single mention
of any anti-Semitic statements

made by my client
in this other DD5.

Because that's not
the real one.

You're saying there are
two official police reports

of my client's arrest?

That's not your signature
at the bottom, Detective?

The sanitized report
was made at the request

of the Detective
Borough Investigator.

So he was in on it too?

There was no conspiracy
to frame your client,

if that's what
you're meaning.

How do we know
this isn't the real one?

How do we know you didn't insert
anti-Semitic invective

into the other report to make
a case against my client?

The sanitized report was created
to protect the integrity

of the investigation, given
Mr. Carroll's celebrity.

We have multiple,
conflicting accounts

of what happened.

He may have said this,
or not,

or some of it,
or none of it.

How are we supposed to know?

Objection, argumentative.

Save it for summation,
Mr. Rosenthal.

Detective Cassady, isn't it true
that Mr. Carroll

denied making
anti-Semitic statements

when you interviewed him
the next day?

Yeah, he sobered up
and said he didn't remember.

He'd been so intoxicated,
you believe he blacked out?
No.

If he hadn't blacked out, then
he would've remembered, correct?

Or he was lying.

Or you're lying,
Detective.

Nothing more.

My dad always told me
to stand up for myself.

I thought that was
a good thing.

Did he tell you to punch
a Jewish boy

who'd beaten you
at tennis?

Yes.

And I broke his jaw.

And what did your father
say to that?

He said he was proud
that I stood up to a Yid.

[crowd murmuring]

Did your father
ever mention

his Jewish colleagues
on his television show?

He said the Jews
ran the business.

So he had to get along
with them.

(McCoy)
And after his TV show
was cancelled?

I don't know.

Did he make remarks
about Danielle Hertzberg?

No.

Not really.

You testified under oath,

before the Grand Jury,

and I quote...

"He blamed his Jew producer

"for shutting him
out of work.

He said he wished
she was dead."

Isn't that right?

(Judge Riley)
The witness will answer
the question.

I was lying then.

[crowd murmuring]

I need a moment
with my witness.

Your Honor, enough
of Mr. McCoy's coaching.

We're gonna adjourn
for the day.

Mr. McCoy, get it together
by tomorrow.

10:00 am.

[gavel bangs]

We had a deal, John, you tell
the truth and we reduce

your sentence.

You don't play ball,
and the deal goes away.

You understand that,
right?

We talked about this
earlier today.

He knows what's going on.

(Rubirosa)
So you're willing
to go to prison?

My father had nothing
to do with the murder.

I pulled the trigger.
Stop protecting him.

I'm not gonna rat him out!

My own blood, I know
who you answer to.

Your father is selling you
down the river.

And you're clueless.

I killed her, not him.

We're done here.

Kid's trying hard
to get his father to notice.

Now what?

Set up a meeting
with Rosenthal.

So he'll plead to tampering
with physical evidence,

nothing more.

You'll drop the murder charge
first thing in the morning.

John perjured himself
in violation

of his plea agreement.

He's looking at 20 years,
minimum,

in case you were interested.

That's too bad.

Do you love your son,
Mr. Carroll?

Of course I do.

What kind of a question
is that?

I don't know where you're going
with this, Jack.

Either we make a deal now,

or we walk.

We're more than happy
to finish the trial.

My one-time only offer.

You and John
both plead guilty.

For every year you agree
to do, I knock that time

off your son's sentence.

You're crazy.

You hate Jews.

You love your son.

I'm curious which
is more important.

Look, John has issues.

He always has.

I know, as a father,
I'm supposed to be accountable

for all that,

but we've never really
had a relationship.

He was living with you,
wasn't he?

Despite the time
we've spent together,

I don't think
I really ever knew him.

Obviously not,

given what he's done.

You or your son,
Mr. Carroll.

I can't go to jail.

I'm too old, I...

Tell him I'm--
I'm so sorry.

Tell him yourself.

John!

John, I...

Wait!

John.

Wait.

You wanted me to do it.
You know you did!

You wanted me to kill her!

No, John, I didn't.

You're such a liar!

I just wanted you
to be proud of me.

But you hate me too,
don't you?

I don't hate you,
no.

I assume
he'll be testifying again.

You can count on it.

(Judge Riley)
Has the jury reached
a verdict?

We have, Your Honor.

On the count of murder
in the second degree,

how do you find?

We find the defendant,
Mitch Carroll, guilty.

[crowd murmuring]

Sometimes you blame the apple,
sometimes you blame the tree.

Your father raised you well,
Jack.

Anybody up for a drink?

I'm buying.

Then I'm in, as long as nobody
judges what I say

after my second bourbon.
