1
00:00:20,587 --> 00:00:23,317
- Yeah?
- Detective Reagan, it's Anna Zoltin.
2
00:00:23,490 --> 00:00:25,185
I don't know if you remember me.
3
00:00:25,792 --> 00:00:27,350
Yeah, I do. What is it?
4
00:00:27,527 --> 00:00:28,585
Sorry, I know it's late.
5
00:00:28,795 --> 00:00:30,990
I just...
I didn't know who else to turn to.
6
00:00:31,598 --> 00:00:33,088
What's wrong? Are you in trouble?
7
00:00:33,299 --> 00:00:34,561
I'm just scared.
8
00:00:34,734 --> 00:00:36,326
Okay.
9
00:00:36,503 --> 00:00:38,869
Anna, look,
you're gonna have to call 911, okay?
10
00:00:39,039 --> 00:00:41,098
Or just go to the precinct
and I'll be there soon.
11
00:00:41,941 --> 00:00:46,401
I don't even know if you can help me.
He said the cops can't help me.
12
00:00:46,579 --> 00:00:48,547
- Who said that?
- Nobody can help me.
13
00:00:48,715 --> 00:00:51,445
- I don't know why I called.
- Okay, Anna...
14
00:00:52,385 --> 00:00:54,012
Anna?
15
00:00:59,325 --> 00:01:00,917
You promised the chief of Belfast
16
00:01:01,094 --> 00:01:04,086
a tour of the Real Time Crime Center
before he leaves for Ireland.
17
00:01:04,264 --> 00:01:05,595
What else you got?
18
00:01:05,765 --> 00:01:09,792
Overnight, robbery on 169th
and Washington Avenue.
19
00:01:09,969 --> 00:01:11,698
Suspects armed with handguns.
20
00:01:11,871 --> 00:01:13,395
Fits Manhattan North
robbery pattern.
21
00:01:13,573 --> 00:01:16,041
Harbor unit's pulling out a floater
in Brooklyn as we speak.
22
00:01:16,209 --> 00:01:17,904
A Detective William Carter called.
23
00:01:18,078 --> 00:01:19,807
Old partner of mine,
what did he want?
24
00:01:19,979 --> 00:01:21,606
To tell you human remains
were recovered
25
00:01:21,781 --> 00:01:25,740
that may be connected to a case
you two worked 25 years ago.
26
00:01:27,287 --> 00:01:29,221
Tell my detail
we're heading back out.
27
00:01:30,490 --> 00:01:33,948
- And your 0900 chief's briefing?
- Push it.
28
00:01:50,610 --> 00:01:52,669
Okay, got it. Thanks. 10-4.
29
00:01:55,648 --> 00:01:57,513
M.E.'s still
an hour and a half out.
30
00:01:58,284 --> 00:02:00,149
Sad. Beautiful young girl.
31
00:02:01,121 --> 00:02:03,646
She still has makeup on too.
It must've just happened.
32
00:02:03,823 --> 00:02:07,884
Ours is not to speculate. We secure
the scene and then we wait.
33
00:02:08,828 --> 00:02:10,591
Here comes the brain trust now.
34
00:02:10,763 --> 00:02:13,960
Just our luck, Sonny Malevsky.
35
00:02:14,534 --> 00:02:16,092
That's Sonny Malevsky?
36
00:02:16,269 --> 00:02:17,861
Yeah, why?
37
00:02:18,037 --> 00:02:19,629
Just...
38
00:02:20,206 --> 00:02:21,833
He used to work
with my brother Joe.
39
00:02:22,008 --> 00:02:23,600
Oh, yeah?
40
00:02:23,776 --> 00:02:25,835
Renzulli.
Hey.
41
00:02:26,012 --> 00:02:27,877
You finally got your stripes.
42
00:02:28,047 --> 00:02:30,607
- Mercy promotion?
- Don't bust my chops, all right?
43
00:02:30,783 --> 00:02:32,876
Who's the new fish?
44
00:02:33,052 --> 00:02:34,679
Reagan!
45
00:02:34,854 --> 00:02:37,687
So, you're the PC's youngest.
46
00:02:38,324 --> 00:02:40,519
- Is this your first floater, kid?
- Yeah.
47
00:02:40,693 --> 00:02:42,354
Well, it looks fresh.
48
00:02:42,529 --> 00:02:44,156
Should see them
after a couple of weeks,
49
00:02:44,330 --> 00:02:46,059
after the fish and the crabs
get to them.
50
00:02:47,233 --> 00:02:49,224
Let's see what we got.
51
00:02:54,974 --> 00:02:57,204
Commissioner.
- Bill.
52
00:02:57,377 --> 00:03:00,039
- As you were.
- Right over here.
53
00:03:01,481 --> 00:03:03,176
Looks like trauma to the skull.
54
00:03:03,349 --> 00:03:04,748
It could be Leo Gates.
55
00:03:04,951 --> 00:03:07,545
Clothes match the description.
We've got the backpack.
56
00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:10,655
The skeletal remains
appear to be those of a child.
57
00:03:11,224 --> 00:03:12,316
That's him.
58
00:03:12,492 --> 00:03:15,518
- We don't know that yet, Frank.
- It's him.
59
00:03:17,597 --> 00:03:20,225
I don't even know if the mother
still lives around here anymore.
60
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:21,697
She does.
61
00:03:21,868 --> 00:03:24,496
Nine-year-old boy.
62
00:03:26,339 --> 00:03:30,867
Have the M.E. make a positive ID
before we start opening old wounds.
63
00:03:31,411 --> 00:03:34,107
No longer missing persons,
it's a homicide.
64
00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:36,771
I want the entire case file
on my desk forthwith.
65
00:03:36,983 --> 00:03:38,951
Keep this away from the press
as long as you can.
66
00:03:39,118 --> 00:03:41,712
I don't want the perp to rabbit
if he's still around.
67
00:03:41,888 --> 00:03:43,014
Sure.
68
00:03:43,189 --> 00:03:45,123
No problem, sir.
69
00:03:46,492 --> 00:03:48,289
Looks like you were right
all along, Frank.
70
00:03:48,494 --> 00:03:51,429
It gives me small comfort.
71
00:03:55,435 --> 00:03:57,369
So kid,
you probably think she jumped
72
00:03:57,537 --> 00:03:59,471
from the Manhattan Bridge
and floated down.
73
00:03:59,639 --> 00:04:01,630
But you'd be wrong.
She'd have hit the East River
74
00:04:01,808 --> 00:04:05,107
at 65 miles an hour
and there's no contusions.
75
00:04:05,745 --> 00:04:08,612
That's not to say she wouldn't
have broken her neck.
76
00:04:09,382 --> 00:04:13,478
But it looks like
somebody did it for her.
77
00:04:13,653 --> 00:04:16,520
Let's see if there's anything
in these pockets.
78
00:04:24,430 --> 00:04:26,125
"Detective Daniel Reagan."
79
00:04:26,299 --> 00:04:29,928
Now there is one
for the "small world" department.
80
00:04:30,103 --> 00:04:33,231
Renzulli, looks like
this one is gonna be a homicide.
81
00:04:33,406 --> 00:04:36,432
Hey, kid,
maybe you wanna call your brother.
82
00:04:36,609 --> 00:04:40,443
He might wanna come down here and
finish what he seems to have started.
83
00:05:03,636 --> 00:05:05,661
So, did you call back
this Anna Zoltin?
84
00:05:05,838 --> 00:05:08,602
I couldn't call her back, okay?
She called from a blocked number.
85
00:05:08,775 --> 00:05:10,106
So what are you supposed to do?
86
00:05:10,276 --> 00:05:13,211
Drive around all five boroughs
at night looking for her?
87
00:05:13,379 --> 00:05:16,109
- She didn't tell you where she was.
- I know, I feel bad, okay?
88
00:05:16,282 --> 00:05:18,614
The girl was getting her life
together and this happens.
89
00:05:18,785 --> 00:05:20,946
I know.
How did you know her anyway?
90
00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:22,553
A Vice sting about a year ago.
91
00:05:22,722 --> 00:05:25,020
A bunch of call girls,
a half dozen johns.
92
00:05:25,191 --> 00:05:26,351
High-end operation.
93
00:05:26,526 --> 00:05:29,188
I'm sure
it was a very classy situation.
94
00:05:29,362 --> 00:05:30,386
She was an escort.
95
00:05:30,596 --> 00:05:32,791
Not making excuses,
but she lost her little girl,
96
00:05:32,965 --> 00:05:34,990
was trying to get her back,
did what she had to.
97
00:05:35,168 --> 00:05:37,693
I spoke to the ADA and got her
sentence reduced to rehab.
98
00:05:38,504 --> 00:05:39,971
She was a good kid, Jackie.
99
00:05:40,139 --> 00:05:42,004
I'm sure she was. It's nice.
100
00:05:42,175 --> 00:05:44,700
And unlike the guys I put away.
They're too busy
101
00:05:44,877 --> 00:05:47,812
throwing darts at my picture
in the night to ask me for help.
102
00:05:47,980 --> 00:05:50,380
Yeah, well, this girl needed help
and now she's dead.
103
00:05:50,550 --> 00:05:51,710
Here's what we're gonna do.
104
00:05:51,884 --> 00:05:53,374
We'll figure out who did this
105
00:05:53,553 --> 00:05:55,885
and we're gonna string him up
by his family jewels.
106
00:05:56,055 --> 00:05:59,513
It's not gonna bring her back
but it's gonna make you feel better.
107
00:06:00,727 --> 00:06:03,025
Your afternoon schedule, sir. Ahem.
108
00:06:03,196 --> 00:06:06,563
"Bronx Borough President's Man of
The Year Luncheon" at 1300,
109
00:06:06,733 --> 00:06:09,361
followed by Queens Committee
board meeting in Jackson Heights.
110
00:06:09,535 --> 00:06:13,767
Police Foundation honors the Mayor
at a reception, 17 to 1830 hours.
111
00:06:13,940 --> 00:06:16,238
I marked these DD-5s
for re-interview.
112
00:06:16,409 --> 00:06:18,536
See that Detective Carter
gets back to me
113
00:06:18,711 --> 00:06:21,942
with the new 5's
as soon as he does them.
114
00:06:22,448 --> 00:06:24,177
Yes, sir.
115
00:06:24,650 --> 00:06:28,586
This is a letter of condolence
written to the mother.
116
00:06:29,655 --> 00:06:33,682
"Dear Mrs. Gates, I am very sorry
that your son has disappeared.
117
00:06:33,860 --> 00:06:36,624
I know how terrible you must feel.
118
00:06:36,796 --> 00:06:39,026
I am sorry for that."
119
00:06:40,366 --> 00:06:41,424
It's not signed.
120
00:06:41,601 --> 00:06:43,569
Was it written
by a man or a woman?
121
00:06:44,937 --> 00:06:46,199
I'd say a man, sir.
122
00:06:56,115 --> 00:06:58,242
Sir, the autopsy's in.
123
00:06:59,252 --> 00:07:01,482
Leo Gates' dental records
are a match.
124
00:07:06,426 --> 00:07:07,791
Thank you, Baker.
125
00:07:09,595 --> 00:07:11,460
Cancel the rest of my schedule.
126
00:07:20,406 --> 00:07:22,499
- Okay, thanks.
Right here, look at this.
127
00:07:22,708 --> 00:07:23,834
Nonpareil Escorts.
128
00:07:24,010 --> 00:07:26,570
That's the place Anna was working
when I busted it a year ago.
129
00:07:26,746 --> 00:07:29,806
Vice has had the place padlocked
down for four months now.
130
00:07:29,982 --> 00:07:31,006
Got something over here.
131
00:07:31,217 --> 00:07:33,185
The receptionist
at Anna's accounting firm
132
00:07:33,352 --> 00:07:36,116
said that there's some guy who
used to send her roses.
133
00:07:36,289 --> 00:07:39,520
Getting pretty heavy, she didn't like it,
put a restraining order against him.
134
00:07:39,725 --> 00:07:41,454
The receptionist
didn't have the guy's name
135
00:07:41,627 --> 00:07:43,288
but I found the florist who did.
136
00:07:43,463 --> 00:07:46,432
- And you got it?
- Yes. Guy's name is Richard Hansen.
137
00:07:46,599 --> 00:07:50,433
Attorney, no priors, Madison
Avenue address, on the board
138
00:07:50,603 --> 00:07:52,434
of the East Side Parks Conservancy.
139
00:07:52,605 --> 00:07:54,971
Fantastic. Let's go see
if we can't persuade Mr. Hansen
140
00:07:55,141 --> 00:07:57,871
to come down, let us pick his brain
about why the green thumb
141
00:07:58,044 --> 00:07:59,944
- keeps sending our victim flowers.
- Good.
142
00:08:27,540 --> 00:08:30,134
- Commissioner Reagan.
- Mrs. Gates.
143
00:08:35,348 --> 00:08:36,679
You found Leo.
144
00:08:37,917 --> 00:08:39,316
We did.
145
00:08:42,722 --> 00:08:45,020
Where did you find him?
146
00:08:45,791 --> 00:08:49,727
In the old building next to the
post office, two blocks from school.
147
00:08:50,530 --> 00:08:52,225
So he...
148
00:08:54,700 --> 00:08:57,999
He was so close all those years.
149
00:08:58,170 --> 00:09:02,539
There was a false wall
in the basement.
150
00:09:07,246 --> 00:09:08,679
Did he suffer?
151
00:09:09,949 --> 00:09:11,678
The medical examiner
152
00:09:11,851 --> 00:09:16,015
determined the cause of death to
be blunt force trauma to the head.
153
00:09:16,188 --> 00:09:19,385
It was most likely instantaneous.
154
00:09:21,193 --> 00:09:23,753
Well, I guess that's something.
155
00:09:26,632 --> 00:09:29,032
That building.
156
00:09:29,201 --> 00:09:32,602
Does it have any meaning
for you?
157
00:09:32,772 --> 00:09:34,399
Friends there, people you knew?
158
00:09:34,574 --> 00:09:37,236
He passed it on the way to school.
159
00:09:40,780 --> 00:09:43,408
Every day, I walked with him.
160
00:09:44,617 --> 00:09:46,551
But he'd been begging me
for weeks
161
00:09:46,719 --> 00:09:49,085
to let him walk home by himself.
162
00:09:51,591 --> 00:09:54,424
It was raining that day.
163
00:09:56,929 --> 00:10:00,729
I keep asking myself: Is that the
reason I didn't go and get him?
164
00:10:00,900 --> 00:10:02,993
Because it was raining?
165
00:10:03,169 --> 00:10:05,228
Laura.
166
00:10:05,805 --> 00:10:10,265
There are some things none of us
can ever completely control.
167
00:10:10,443 --> 00:10:14,971
And one of them is protecting our kids
every moment of the day.
168
00:10:15,448 --> 00:10:17,575
I just think...
169
00:10:18,684 --> 00:10:21,414
You know,
if only if I'd been with him.
170
00:10:22,121 --> 00:10:26,023
If only I'd made sure
he walked with a friend.
171
00:10:33,666 --> 00:10:36,601
I guess I should call Father John.
172
00:10:38,504 --> 00:10:41,439
We can have a funeral now.
173
00:10:46,612 --> 00:10:47,909
Thank you, Frank.
174
00:10:48,948 --> 00:10:51,416
There's no need to thank me
175
00:10:52,284 --> 00:10:55,617
until I bring Leo's killer to justice.
176
00:11:02,795 --> 00:11:04,194
You threatened to come to my home?
177
00:11:04,363 --> 00:11:07,526
- It's either your home or your office.
- I didn't kill Anna Zoltin.
178
00:11:07,700 --> 00:11:09,861
No, she killed herself.
She strangled herself
179
00:11:10,036 --> 00:11:12,129
right before dumping her body
in the river.
180
00:11:12,304 --> 00:11:13,703
Where were you when
she was killed?
181
00:11:13,873 --> 00:11:16,034
At a charity fundraiser
for my kid's school.
182
00:11:16,208 --> 00:11:17,232
Father of the Year, huh?
183
00:11:17,443 --> 00:11:19,877
Anna Zoltin took out an order
of protection against you
184
00:11:20,046 --> 00:11:21,308
the night before she died.
185
00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:23,641
Wonder why. What'd
she do, threaten to tell your wife?
186
00:11:23,816 --> 00:11:25,807
- That why you killed her?
- Why throw away my life
187
00:11:25,985 --> 00:11:28,476
- for a whore?
- She was somebody's daughter.
188
00:11:28,654 --> 00:11:30,087
And she was
also somebody's mother.
189
00:11:30,256 --> 00:11:31,746
She wanted to quit
and you wouldn't let her.
190
00:11:31,957 --> 00:11:34,357
You wanted to keep having sex,
you wouldn't let her say no.
191
00:11:34,527 --> 00:11:37,394
- I can afford any woman I want.
- Really?
192
00:11:37,563 --> 00:11:41,397
How about we call Mrs. Hansen down
here, see how she feels about that?
193
00:11:44,970 --> 00:11:46,232
Okay.
194
00:11:53,045 --> 00:11:55,775
I was a regular client of Anna's.
195
00:11:56,348 --> 00:11:58,407
When she told me she quit,
196
00:11:58,584 --> 00:12:01,382
I tried using other call girls but...
197
00:12:01,854 --> 00:12:02,980
She's really special.
198
00:12:03,789 --> 00:12:07,589
- You know what I mean?
- Not first hand but keep talking.
199
00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:09,387
I offered to pay her rent plus double
200
00:12:09,562 --> 00:12:11,689
what she made as an escort
but she turned me down.
201
00:12:12,565 --> 00:12:15,363
The flowers were my attempt
to change her mind.
202
00:12:15,534 --> 00:12:18,025
- And did it help?
- No.
203
00:12:19,605 --> 00:12:22,870
But look, I wasn't the only one
who thought she was special.
204
00:12:23,042 --> 00:12:26,068
I heard from other girls
in the escort agency that
205
00:12:26,245 --> 00:12:29,373
her boss was always hitting on her.
206
00:12:29,548 --> 00:12:31,140
Do you have a name for us?
207
00:12:31,317 --> 00:12:33,114
All I know
is that his first name is John.
208
00:12:33,285 --> 00:12:35,378
- Well, there's a start.
- Yeah.
209
00:12:35,554 --> 00:12:37,522
You better pray
your alibi checks out.
210
00:12:40,059 --> 00:12:43,051
I just wanted to drop these
DD-5s off for the Commissioner.
211
00:12:43,229 --> 00:12:45,561
Well, the Commissioner's
not home yet.
212
00:12:45,731 --> 00:12:47,631
I know that, sir.
213
00:12:49,969 --> 00:12:52,028
I'm retired,
you don't have to call me "sir."
214
00:12:52,638 --> 00:12:54,765
- What should I call you?
- Henry.
215
00:12:57,777 --> 00:12:59,540
Something on your mind,
Miss Baker?
216
00:13:00,980 --> 00:13:03,141
It's a cold case
of his involving a child.
217
00:13:03,315 --> 00:13:04,748
It's consumed him.
218
00:13:07,419 --> 00:13:09,785
We all have these cases.
219
00:13:09,955 --> 00:13:11,752
I had one back in '55.
220
00:13:11,924 --> 00:13:16,691
The remains of a kid
in a duffel bag off the FDR.
221
00:13:16,862 --> 00:13:18,853
I still take the case out
every now and then.
222
00:13:19,064 --> 00:13:22,124
It's always bad
when it's children, but...
223
00:13:23,335 --> 00:13:27,328
If I may say, sir,
he's in a very dark place.
224
00:13:28,607 --> 00:13:32,634
He and the detective who was
in charge of the case were at odds.
225
00:13:33,078 --> 00:13:37,014
There was a witness who said he
thought he saw the kid get into a car
226
00:13:37,183 --> 00:13:39,981
but Francis wasn't having any of it.
227
00:13:40,152 --> 00:13:42,848
He was convinced
the kid never left the block.
228
00:13:43,022 --> 00:13:44,614
That he was murdered.
229
00:13:47,393 --> 00:13:51,489
He'll find the forensic anthropologist
report there, as well.
230
00:13:51,664 --> 00:13:53,564
Blunt force trauma to the skull
was caused
231
00:13:53,732 --> 00:13:56,633
by the round striking end
of a hammer.
232
00:13:59,238 --> 00:14:02,639
His own kids were that age
back then.
233
00:14:02,808 --> 00:14:04,298
It tore him up.
234
00:14:07,379 --> 00:14:10,542
It's the losses
that keep you up at night.
235
00:14:14,520 --> 00:14:16,988
- So, how did your anniversary go?
- It went good.
236
00:14:17,156 --> 00:14:19,556
I got my wife a snow globe.
237
00:14:19,725 --> 00:14:22,523
I know it's too low brow
for your Harvard tastes
238
00:14:22,695 --> 00:14:24,663
but my wife loves snow globes.
239
00:14:25,130 --> 00:14:26,358
Fake snow, I get the appeal.
240
00:14:26,532 --> 00:14:29,524
- You get the appeal?
- Yeah.
241
00:14:31,036 --> 00:14:32,697
Tell me how you know
Sonny Malevsky?
242
00:14:33,572 --> 00:14:35,836
Why are you so interested
in that putz, huh?
243
00:14:36,008 --> 00:14:37,441
I'm just curious.
244
00:14:37,643 --> 00:14:41,101
Well, some guys become cops
because they love law enforcement.
245
00:14:41,280 --> 00:14:42,872
Some guys, for job security.
246
00:14:43,048 --> 00:14:44,572
Some guys don't know
what else to do.
247
00:14:45,517 --> 00:14:48,077
And then you've got guys
like Malevsky
248
00:14:48,254 --> 00:14:49,687
who's just on a big power trip.
249
00:14:51,257 --> 00:14:52,554
Anything more than that?
250
00:14:52,725 --> 00:14:54,886
What? Like corruption?
251
00:14:55,527 --> 00:14:57,461
That's a big word.
252
00:14:57,663 --> 00:15:01,963
Let's just say, I think that he's
someone when you're talking to him
253
00:15:02,167 --> 00:15:04,294
you better have one hand
on your wallet.
254
00:15:05,037 --> 00:15:08,200
- You know what I mean?
- Hmm.
255
00:15:13,612 --> 00:15:14,874
Hey.
256
00:15:15,047 --> 00:15:17,038
You're still up, Pop.
257
00:15:17,216 --> 00:15:20,777
Your aide dropped off some 5's
for the Gates case.
258
00:15:20,953 --> 00:15:24,286
They smell of the precinct.
I hope you don't mind.
259
00:15:24,456 --> 00:15:26,720
It's the losses
that keep you up at night.
260
00:15:38,070 --> 00:15:40,197
You miss it, don't you?
261
00:15:42,574 --> 00:15:44,007
I do.
262
00:15:44,209 --> 00:15:45,938
I wasn't done being a cop.
263
00:15:46,712 --> 00:15:48,304
You did what you had to do.
264
00:15:48,948 --> 00:15:50,245
Same as you.
265
00:15:50,416 --> 00:15:52,941
No, I wanted the job.
266
00:15:55,220 --> 00:15:58,246
You should feel proud, Francis.
267
00:15:58,424 --> 00:16:00,619
You're the only chief rank
and file would've accepted
268
00:16:00,793 --> 00:16:03,660
after that last bum of the mayor's.
269
00:16:03,829 --> 00:16:06,229
The time had come
and you stepped up.
270
00:16:06,732 --> 00:16:08,222
Here.
271
00:16:08,667 --> 00:16:11,431
Take these, they're yours.
272
00:16:13,872 --> 00:16:16,272
- What are you looking for?
- I don't know.
273
00:16:16,442 --> 00:16:19,002
Something to jog my memory.
274
00:16:19,178 --> 00:16:20,202
What did you always say?
275
00:16:20,379 --> 00:16:23,143
"There's a lot in a detective's head
that isn't written down."
276
00:16:23,315 --> 00:16:26,375
But you've got a photographic mind
for this stuff.
277
00:16:26,552 --> 00:16:27,814
Yeah.
278
00:16:27,987 --> 00:16:30,956
Well, there's something
I can't remember
279
00:16:31,123 --> 00:16:34,559
or overlooked or didn't consider.
280
00:16:40,866 --> 00:16:42,766
Night, Francis.
281
00:16:43,135 --> 00:16:44,830
Night, Pop.
282
00:17:06,358 --> 00:17:07,484
Yeah, yeah, thanks.
283
00:17:07,659 --> 00:17:08,853
Anything yet?
284
00:17:09,028 --> 00:17:10,893
Hansen's alibi checks out.
285
00:17:11,063 --> 00:17:12,587
What? Ugh.
286
00:17:12,798 --> 00:17:15,392
You know it's guys like that
that make you want to stay single.
287
00:17:15,567 --> 00:17:17,535
Yeah, well, he told the truth.
288
00:17:17,703 --> 00:17:21,571
Maybe he's telling the truth about this
John guy who owned the agency.
289
00:17:21,740 --> 00:17:23,833
He says he was obsessed
with Anna.
290
00:17:24,009 --> 00:17:25,670
Let's check it on the black book.
291
00:17:27,546 --> 00:17:31,004
Yeah, well the escort service
was owned by a John Vega.
292
00:17:31,183 --> 00:17:33,083
Oh, what's he up to now?
293
00:17:34,353 --> 00:17:38,813
He owns a business called
Executive Clientele.
294
00:17:39,725 --> 00:17:40,851
- Oh, well.
- Look at that.
295
00:17:41,026 --> 00:17:42,789
Not hard to tell
what his new business is.
296
00:17:42,961 --> 00:17:44,223
No.
297
00:17:47,533 --> 00:17:50,024
You're listed as the company owner,
Mr. Vega.
298
00:17:50,202 --> 00:17:52,261
Hey, hey, just call me Johnny.
299
00:17:52,438 --> 00:17:54,269
Johnny the Pimp?
Ha-ha-ha.
300
00:17:54,440 --> 00:17:57,307
Our ladies do not engage
in sexual intercourse.
301
00:17:57,476 --> 00:17:59,467
Your clients just pay
a thousand dollars a pop
302
00:17:59,645 --> 00:18:01,476
for stimulating conversation,
is that it?
303
00:18:01,647 --> 00:18:03,945
Our clients are
out-of-town businessmen
304
00:18:04,116 --> 00:18:07,916
or Europeans who just want beautiful
ladies to show them around the city.
305
00:18:08,087 --> 00:18:10,783
You know, business dinners
with them and stuff.
306
00:18:10,956 --> 00:18:12,890
Do you know Anna Zoltin?
307
00:18:13,058 --> 00:18:14,753
She used to work for my accountant.
308
00:18:14,927 --> 00:18:17,794
Well, they told us that she
delivered many packages here.
309
00:18:17,963 --> 00:18:19,487
No, no, that's not true.
310
00:18:19,665 --> 00:18:22,566
How about she was an escort at
Nonpareil while you were running it?
311
00:18:23,569 --> 00:18:25,298
I don't recall.
312
00:18:25,471 --> 00:18:27,462
Do you recall
where you were two nights ago?
313
00:18:27,639 --> 00:18:30,267
Hillary, pull up Jolene, will you?
314
00:18:30,442 --> 00:18:31,909
I was at her place all night.
315
00:18:33,512 --> 00:18:36,106
We're gonna need her
contact information to corroborate.
316
00:18:36,281 --> 00:18:37,805
You'll get that
before you leave.
317
00:18:37,983 --> 00:18:40,451
And if you ever want to try
any of our services,
318
00:18:40,619 --> 00:18:42,849
I'll make sure you
get the N.Y.P.D. discount.
319
00:18:43,021 --> 00:18:44,511
No, thanks. I'm married.
320
00:18:44,690 --> 00:18:46,351
Too bad. Don't know
what you're missing.
321
00:18:46,525 --> 00:18:48,390
Neither do you.
322
00:18:50,696 --> 00:18:53,358
250 interviews of people
in the building across the street
323
00:18:53,532 --> 00:18:55,796
and not one of them saw
Leo enter that building.
324
00:18:55,968 --> 00:18:58,300
Never mind with anyone.
325
00:18:58,770 --> 00:19:00,704
What do you think, sir?
326
00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:03,169
I don't know.
327
00:19:03,342 --> 00:19:06,004
Had to be someone in that building
on that day.
328
00:19:06,178 --> 00:19:08,976
Someone who wouldn't raise
suspicions.
329
00:19:10,516 --> 00:19:11,847
If it moves, you duct tape it.
330
00:19:12,017 --> 00:19:14,042
If it squeaks, you WD-40 it.
331
00:19:14,219 --> 00:19:17,188
If it's stuck,
you hit it with a hammer.
332
00:19:18,223 --> 00:19:19,850
Sounds about right, sir.
333
00:19:20,025 --> 00:19:22,550
Get me Bill Carter on the phone.
334
00:19:24,196 --> 00:19:26,130
Jolene DeMaine.
335
00:19:26,298 --> 00:19:28,630
Detective Reagan.
This is my partner, Detective Curatola.
336
00:19:28,800 --> 00:19:30,700
Johnny told me
that you'd be looking for me.
337
00:19:30,869 --> 00:19:32,894
- Oh, did he?
- Yeah. He was with me that night.
338
00:19:33,071 --> 00:19:35,198
- Really, doing what?
- Dinner. Then we hung out.
339
00:19:35,374 --> 00:19:36,841
- All night.
- Where?
340
00:19:37,009 --> 00:19:39,375
Where? My place.
341
00:19:39,545 --> 00:19:41,240
I'm sorry, I really need to go.
342
00:19:41,446 --> 00:19:42,538
- I'm late.
You know what?
343
00:19:42,714 --> 00:19:45,911
If you think of anything,
why don't you give us a call, okay?
344
00:19:46,084 --> 00:19:47,745
I won't.
345
00:19:50,656 --> 00:19:52,385
- That went well.
- Yeah.
346
00:19:52,558 --> 00:19:54,822
Hold for the Commissioner.
347
00:19:55,260 --> 00:19:57,057
Where are you
with the new interviews, Bill?
348
00:19:57,262 --> 00:20:00,095
Uh... I've located some of them, sir.
349
00:20:00,265 --> 00:20:03,598
In fact, right now I'm
with the witness, Todd Connelly.
350
00:20:03,769 --> 00:20:05,168
He's not on my list.
351
00:20:05,337 --> 00:20:07,828
No, I know,
but it occurred to me that
352
00:20:08,006 --> 00:20:11,703
he may have said that he saw
Leo Gates entering the Corolla
353
00:20:11,877 --> 00:20:13,504
to throw the investigation.
354
00:20:14,112 --> 00:20:15,943
The murderer put him up to it.
355
00:20:16,114 --> 00:20:18,514
- What about Ted Wessel?
- Wessel?
356
00:20:18,684 --> 00:20:21,847
The superintendent of the building
where Leo Gates' bones were found.
357
00:20:22,020 --> 00:20:24,352
A re-interview
I specifically requested.
358
00:20:24,523 --> 00:20:26,354
Yeah, I haven't found him yet, sir.
359
00:20:26,525 --> 00:20:28,015
Find him.
360
00:20:28,193 --> 00:20:31,856
Do it quick and do it right or you'll
be walking a beat so far out in Queens
361
00:20:32,030 --> 00:20:34,726
you'll need a passport to get
back to Manhattan.
362
00:20:34,900 --> 00:20:36,697
Yes, sir.
363
00:20:37,402 --> 00:20:40,769
Find out everything there is to know
about Theodore Wessel.
364
00:20:40,939 --> 00:20:44,306
Every detail of his life
from the day he was born.
365
00:20:51,316 --> 00:20:54,547
Hi. Okay, so Johnny Vega
has a criminal history.
366
00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:57,883
Assault, extortion, gambling,
promoting prostitution.
367
00:20:58,056 --> 00:21:00,115
So, what is he doing
still on the street?
368
00:21:00,292 --> 00:21:02,055
First go-round
with murder, though.
369
00:21:02,227 --> 00:21:03,455
He's got an alibi for that.
370
00:21:03,629 --> 00:21:06,257
We can't even get enough to
subpoena his phone records.
371
00:21:06,431 --> 00:21:08,262
So there's got to be something.
372
00:21:08,433 --> 00:21:11,334
Besides Nonpareil, is there any way
we can connect this guy to Anna?
373
00:21:11,536 --> 00:21:13,970
I've been through her phone records,
her e-mails,
374
00:21:14,139 --> 00:21:15,936
there is absolutely nothing
from Vega.
375
00:21:16,108 --> 00:21:18,838
But there are tons of phone calls
back and forth
376
00:21:19,044 --> 00:21:21,342
from Anna Zoltin
and Jolene DeMaine,
377
00:21:21,546 --> 00:21:25,482
nearly every day, including the night
she was killed, after she called you.
378
00:21:25,651 --> 00:21:26,675
Jolene DeMaine?
379
00:21:26,852 --> 00:21:28,615
- Mm-hm.
- Sounds like she knows something
380
00:21:28,787 --> 00:21:30,778
- she's not letting on.
- Mm-hm.
381
00:21:32,090 --> 00:21:33,751
You got a second to talk?
382
00:21:33,925 --> 00:21:34,983
I already talked to you.
383
00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:38,129
Yeah, but you never told us
that you and Anna were friends.
384
00:21:38,297 --> 00:21:40,162
We know you spoke
the night she was killed
385
00:21:40,966 --> 00:21:42,866
because I did, too.
386
00:21:43,068 --> 00:21:46,333
She sounded afraid that someone was
gonna find out she reached out to me.
387
00:21:46,505 --> 00:21:48,530
I'm thinking it was Johnny Vega
she was afraid of.
388
00:21:48,707 --> 00:21:52,108
But you told us that you were
with him the night Anna was killed.
389
00:21:52,277 --> 00:21:54,507
- I did see him that night.
- Just not the whole night.
390
00:21:55,614 --> 00:21:56,842
Look, I can't help you.
391
00:21:57,015 --> 00:21:59,711
Are you gonna let this guy
get away with killing your friend?
392
00:22:00,118 --> 00:22:03,713
Do you know he strangled her so hard
that he broke a bone in her neck?
393
00:22:03,889 --> 00:22:05,823
- Don't!
- Well, then tell us the truth.
394
00:22:05,991 --> 00:22:08,983
You have no idea what Johnny
is really like.
395
00:22:09,161 --> 00:22:10,958
- So you gave him an alibi?
- I can end up like her.
396
00:22:11,129 --> 00:22:14,155
You can also end up in prison
for hindering prosecution.
397
00:22:15,467 --> 00:22:16,866
Jolene, tell us what happened.
398
00:22:19,638 --> 00:22:21,663
Johnny had a thing for her.
399
00:22:21,840 --> 00:22:23,467
He was always creeping on her.
400
00:22:24,309 --> 00:22:26,641
And finally she started saying
that she'd go to the cops
401
00:22:26,812 --> 00:22:28,973
if he didn't stop harassing her.
402
00:22:29,147 --> 00:22:30,341
She told me about you.
403
00:22:30,515 --> 00:22:33,006
- She said that we could trust you.
- You can.
404
00:22:33,618 --> 00:22:35,017
Keep talking.
405
00:22:36,521 --> 00:22:39,581
Anna told me that she dropped off
the checks at Executive.
406
00:22:39,758 --> 00:22:42,591
When she got there Johnny tried
to jump her but she fought him off.
407
00:22:42,761 --> 00:22:46,390
And she told him that was it.
That she was gonna go to the cops.
408
00:22:47,366 --> 00:22:50,096
She ran out of there
and she called me from her cell.
409
00:22:50,268 --> 00:22:53,396
She was petrified that
he was coming after her.
410
00:22:53,572 --> 00:22:55,335
I told her
that I'd meet her at her place.
411
00:22:55,507 --> 00:22:57,338
What time was that?
412
00:22:57,509 --> 00:22:59,443
It was around midnight.
413
00:22:59,644 --> 00:23:01,509
When I got there she was so scared.
414
00:23:01,680 --> 00:23:03,341
Her hands were shaking.
415
00:23:03,515 --> 00:23:05,745
She told me she was gonna
meet you at the precinct
416
00:23:06,251 --> 00:23:08,185
and I said that I would wait with her.
417
00:23:08,353 --> 00:23:10,412
Did you?
418
00:23:12,424 --> 00:23:14,688
There was a knock on the door.
419
00:23:14,860 --> 00:23:16,452
Anna said to hide
while she answered it.
420
00:23:16,661 --> 00:23:19,186
So I ducked into her bedroom.
421
00:23:19,364 --> 00:23:21,195
And it was Johnny Vega.
422
00:23:21,366 --> 00:23:23,129
He was furious.
423
00:23:23,301 --> 00:23:24,791
They had words.
424
00:23:24,970 --> 00:23:27,131
And then I didn't hear
anything so I peeked out
425
00:23:27,305 --> 00:23:29,739
to make sure that she was okay
426
00:23:30,275 --> 00:23:32,072
and I saw...
427
00:23:32,244 --> 00:23:34,303
And I saw him strangle her.
428
00:23:35,414 --> 00:23:37,211
- Did he see you?
- No.
429
00:23:37,382 --> 00:23:39,077
No, God, I didn't move.
430
00:23:39,251 --> 00:23:43,119
I waited until he left with Anna.
431
00:23:43,822 --> 00:23:47,485
And the next day,
when Anna's body showed up,
432
00:23:47,692 --> 00:23:52,686
he said that "that's what happens
when people talk to cops."
433
00:23:58,136 --> 00:23:59,763
Let's go scoop
this piece of garbage.
434
00:24:13,752 --> 00:24:15,344
Johnny Vega!
435
00:24:15,520 --> 00:24:18,114
Hands out of your pockets.
Keep them where I can see them.
436
00:24:18,290 --> 00:24:19,917
Taking me up
on that N.Y.P.D. discount?
437
00:24:20,091 --> 00:24:23,356
I don't have anything for the young
lady unless she goes that way.
438
00:24:24,329 --> 00:24:26,627
We're here to arrest you
for the murder of Anna Zoltin.
439
00:24:27,866 --> 00:24:31,267
- You know what? Whatever.
- Great, turn around.
440
00:24:31,970 --> 00:24:33,961
Turn your ass around.
441
00:24:34,739 --> 00:24:37,139
You have the right to remain silent.
Anything you say may be used
442
00:24:37,309 --> 00:24:38,867
against you in a court of law.
443
00:24:39,044 --> 00:24:41,137
You have the right to consult
with an attorney.
444
00:24:41,313 --> 00:24:44,111
You have the right to have your
attorney present during questioning.
445
00:24:44,282 --> 00:24:48,446
If you can't afford an attorney,
one will be appointed to you at no cost.
446
00:24:49,654 --> 00:24:52,054
That Johnny Vega
is one cool cucumber.
447
00:24:52,257 --> 00:24:54,885
As long as he's held without bail
for second-degree murder, I don't care.
448
00:24:55,060 --> 00:24:57,893
Detective Reagan. Curatola.
449
00:24:58,063 --> 00:25:00,190
Special Agent Stuart LeMarque.
450
00:25:00,365 --> 00:25:02,390
Oh, FBI.
To what do we owe the pleasure?
451
00:25:02,567 --> 00:25:04,364
- You arrested John Vega today.
Yeah.
452
00:25:04,536 --> 00:25:05,969
Creates a bit
of a problem for us.
453
00:25:06,137 --> 00:25:07,331
Really? Why's that?
454
00:25:07,506 --> 00:25:09,633
He's instrumental in a RICO case
we got going.
455
00:25:09,808 --> 00:25:12,003
- Oh, he's a confidential informant?
Oh.
456
00:25:12,177 --> 00:25:13,508
Makes sense
why he has all those
457
00:25:13,678 --> 00:25:15,908
"Get out of jail free" cards
on felony collars.
458
00:25:16,081 --> 00:25:18,641
This guy is a made member
of the Rulanti crime family.
459
00:25:18,817 --> 00:25:20,580
He's like a son to Tommy Rulanti.
460
00:25:20,785 --> 00:25:23,720
I don't care if he's like a son to the
Pope, he's not getting a pass, forget it.
461
00:25:23,889 --> 00:25:26,687
Our case hinges on Vega's
cooperation, all right?
462
00:25:26,858 --> 00:25:28,348
We're going after the bigger fish.
463
00:25:28,527 --> 00:25:30,188
As opposed to the little homicide here.
464
00:25:30,362 --> 00:25:32,489
I need you to understand
that we have an opportunity
465
00:25:32,664 --> 00:25:34,256
to deal the Rulantis
a crippling blow.
466
00:25:34,432 --> 00:25:36,423
And we have an opportunity
to lock this punk up
467
00:25:36,601 --> 00:25:38,933
for second-degree murder,
and we will.
468
00:25:39,104 --> 00:25:42,232
You really think the FBI
is gonna let some N.Y.P.D. detective
469
00:25:42,407 --> 00:25:44,341
blow a multi-million dollar
RICO case?
470
00:25:46,912 --> 00:25:48,436
Maybe.
471
00:25:49,447 --> 00:25:51,278
Putz.
472
00:25:51,449 --> 00:25:53,383
He's having trouble
playing with others again?
473
00:25:53,552 --> 00:25:55,918
The FBI trying to tell me
who we can and can't arrest.
474
00:25:56,087 --> 00:25:58,419
If it's about Johnny Vega,
we have other problems.
475
00:25:58,590 --> 00:26:00,182
What, they leaning
on you to dismiss?
476
00:26:00,358 --> 00:26:03,759
No, his defense team has requested
our eyewitness's statement.
477
00:26:03,929 --> 00:26:05,021
Are you kidding me?
478
00:26:05,196 --> 00:26:06,891
Johnny's gonna know
it was Jolene DeMaine.
479
00:26:07,098 --> 00:26:10,033
Oh, it is a death sentence for her.
480
00:26:10,201 --> 00:26:11,395
It's within the law, Danny.
481
00:26:15,106 --> 00:26:19,634
- I'm just saying, what kind of law is it?
- The kind that guarantees a fair trial.
482
00:26:19,844 --> 00:26:22,711
Fair trial. I've got a witness
who risks her life to come and give you
483
00:26:22,881 --> 00:26:24,974
a recorded testimony,
you give it to the murderer, is that fair?
484
00:26:26,384 --> 00:26:27,408
The judge hasn't ruled on it yet.
485
00:26:27,619 --> 00:26:30,144
- And that's why cops hate Mondays.
- Excuse me.
486
00:26:31,723 --> 00:26:34,385
- Well, it doesn't seem right, Mom.
It's not right.
487
00:26:35,860 --> 00:26:38,090
The defender has the right to know
who's accusing him.
488
00:26:38,263 --> 00:26:40,754
That's so they can figure out
who to intimidate.
489
00:26:40,932 --> 00:26:43,901
Without discovery statutes
it's not a level playing field.
490
00:26:44,736 --> 00:26:47,102
I'm talking about playing
with people's lives here.
491
00:26:47,272 --> 00:26:48,671
Nick, would you want a world where
492
00:26:48,873 --> 00:26:51,341
anyone could have someone locked up
on their anonymous say-so?
493
00:26:51,509 --> 00:26:53,101
That doesn't sound so good either.
494
00:26:53,278 --> 00:26:54,302
Thank you, Jamie.
495
00:26:54,479 --> 00:26:56,140
But you know
it's an intimidation tactic.
496
00:26:56,314 --> 00:26:57,338
Wrecks your only case.
497
00:26:57,515 --> 00:26:58,573
See what I mean?
- No.
498
00:26:58,750 --> 00:26:59,774
Un-thank you, Jamie.
499
00:26:59,951 --> 00:27:03,352
The bottom line is all the FBI cares
about is making their splashy case
500
00:27:03,521 --> 00:27:05,819
against the Rulanti crime family.
501
00:27:05,991 --> 00:27:09,154
And meanwhile Anna Zoltin just floats
down the East River into oblivion.
502
00:27:09,327 --> 00:27:10,817
And no one even arrests
the murderer.
503
00:27:10,996 --> 00:27:13,487
What'd you say they said?
"Come on, she's just a call girl."
504
00:27:13,665 --> 00:27:15,326
Pretty much. "Just a call girl."
505
00:27:15,500 --> 00:27:18,025
- What's a call girl?
- I don't know.
506
00:27:18,269 --> 00:27:23,172
Uh... That is a girl who talks on her cell
all the time.
507
00:27:23,341 --> 00:27:25,536
So, kind of like Aunt Erin?
508
00:27:26,978 --> 00:27:28,002
Sorry.
509
00:27:30,415 --> 00:27:31,939
Yeah.
510
00:27:33,051 --> 00:27:34,712
Sorry.
511
00:27:35,820 --> 00:27:38,288
Anything?
- Dead end.
512
00:27:38,456 --> 00:27:39,480
What was so funny?
513
00:27:39,958 --> 00:27:41,289
A barrel of laughs in here, Dad.
514
00:27:41,459 --> 00:27:43,950
Between the FBI and the DA's office
trying to kill my witness.
515
00:27:44,129 --> 00:27:45,494
Enough with the drama.
516
00:27:45,664 --> 00:27:49,828
Nothing undermines our way of life
more than the taking of it.
517
00:27:52,804 --> 00:27:54,431
I'll drink to that.
518
00:28:02,681 --> 00:28:05,206
The truth is Judge Fenton
could rule either way tomorrow.
519
00:28:05,383 --> 00:28:08,978
I could lose my witness.
I'm a little worried about it.
520
00:28:09,154 --> 00:28:11,247
Well, in that case, be ready.
521
00:28:11,456 --> 00:28:13,981
- What do you mean?
- Ready with another case against him.
522
00:28:14,159 --> 00:28:18,425
How did the FBI get Johnny Vega
to cooperate against the Rulanti family
523
00:28:18,596 --> 00:28:21,156
- in the first place?
- They have something on him.
524
00:28:21,332 --> 00:28:24,324
Interstate prostitution, trafficking,
for instance.
525
00:28:24,502 --> 00:28:25,662
Okay.
526
00:28:25,837 --> 00:28:29,671
And we know how the feds
like to memorialize their cases on tape.
527
00:28:29,841 --> 00:28:31,206
Wiretaps, surveillance.
528
00:28:31,376 --> 00:28:35,278
Since the cases haven't been brought,
none of it's been released.
529
00:28:35,480 --> 00:28:38,108
Well, maybe the right people
haven't been asking.
530
00:28:39,617 --> 00:28:42,518
I do have a friend
in the U.S. Attorney's office.
531
00:28:42,687 --> 00:28:44,917
Well, if things don't go
your way tomorrow...
532
00:28:48,426 --> 00:28:50,417
Ms. Reagan,
I have read your objection
533
00:28:50,595 --> 00:28:52,620
to the defense's motion
to compel discovery.
534
00:28:52,797 --> 00:28:55,197
Your Honor, the release of said
testimony would reveal
535
00:28:55,366 --> 00:28:58,529
the identity of the witness
and put his or her life in danger.
536
00:28:58,703 --> 00:28:59,727
Objection!
537
00:28:59,904 --> 00:29:03,271
Much as we appreciate Ms. Reagan's
apparent competency in legal matters,
538
00:29:03,441 --> 00:29:06,740
we don't subscribe to her ability
to predict the future, Your Honor.
539
00:29:06,911 --> 00:29:09,607
Sustained.
Ms. Reagan, your objection is denied.
540
00:29:09,781 --> 00:29:11,476
Recording will be entered
into evidence
541
00:29:11,649 --> 00:29:13,082
and made available to the defense.
542
00:29:13,251 --> 00:29:16,049
At this time we would also request
a consideration for bail.
543
00:29:16,221 --> 00:29:19,816
- Objection!
- Mr. Vega has strong family ties.
544
00:29:20,024 --> 00:29:21,753
Whose family,
his own or the Rulantis?
545
00:29:21,926 --> 00:29:23,826
Objection!
546
00:29:31,035 --> 00:29:32,127
- Jolene.
- Leave.
547
00:29:32,303 --> 00:29:36,763
Listen, Johnny Vega made bail.
We wanna take you somewhere safe.
548
00:29:36,941 --> 00:29:38,306
- I don't think so.
- Judge ruled
549
00:29:38,476 --> 00:29:40,569
the defense can have
your testimony against Vega.
550
00:29:40,745 --> 00:29:44,647
- So get some clothes on and let's go.
- No. No, I can't. I'm sorry.
551
00:29:44,816 --> 00:29:46,977
What is it? Did he contact you?
552
00:29:47,152 --> 00:29:48,983
- Doesn't matter.
- Did he threaten you again?
553
00:29:49,154 --> 00:29:51,987
- I'm not going to testify.
- You gave a statement to the ADA.
554
00:29:52,157 --> 00:29:53,920
- I lied.
Jolene!
555
00:29:54,092 --> 00:29:57,687
I didn't see him kill Anna, all right.
Just leave me alone!
556
00:29:57,862 --> 00:30:02,492
This is what he wants, you know.
He wants you to be scared.
557
00:30:05,804 --> 00:30:08,602
- I'm well aware of John Vega.
- And I know about the RICO.
558
00:30:08,773 --> 00:30:10,468
I'm not willing to bend on murder.
559
00:30:10,642 --> 00:30:12,542
Well, with the last name Reagan,
why would you?
560
00:30:12,710 --> 00:30:14,871
But you know giving you access
to FBI surveillance
561
00:30:15,079 --> 00:30:16,808
is gonna cause
beaucoup problems for me.
562
00:30:16,981 --> 00:30:18,312
You're a dedicated U.S. Attorney.
563
00:30:18,483 --> 00:30:21,111
You don't want this guy
walking around any more than I do.
564
00:30:21,286 --> 00:30:24,722
- I can't jeopardize the Rulanti case.
- You won't be jeopardizing it.
565
00:30:24,889 --> 00:30:28,882
I will wait to bring my pre-trial motions
against Vega after your RICO charges.
566
00:30:29,093 --> 00:30:31,186
You'll still have first dibs.
567
00:30:31,362 --> 00:30:33,489
Can we discuss this over dinner?
568
00:30:33,665 --> 00:30:37,101
David, I want that material.
569
00:30:37,869 --> 00:30:42,636
Hey Danny, it's me. I've got something
for your viewing and listening pleasure.
570
00:30:46,878 --> 00:30:50,974
Oh... Six hours of this and nothing.
571
00:30:51,149 --> 00:30:52,241
No, I can't do it anymore.
572
00:30:52,417 --> 00:30:56,717
I cannot watch any more mobsters
and whores hanging out.
573
00:30:56,888 --> 00:30:58,879
Tell me about it.
574
00:31:02,026 --> 00:31:03,721
There's Johnny Vega.
575
00:31:03,895 --> 00:31:06,591
- Wait a minute, check this guy out.
What?
576
00:31:06,764 --> 00:31:10,757
Yeah, that's another midlife crisis
overpaying some 20-year-old
577
00:31:10,935 --> 00:31:12,163
to make him feel desirable.
578
00:31:12,337 --> 00:31:14,703
Forget it. I lost interest after
the first four hours.
579
00:31:14,873 --> 00:31:16,864
No, something about this guy.
580
00:31:17,041 --> 00:31:18,531
I've seen him around somewhere.
581
00:31:18,710 --> 00:31:20,735
- Hey, do me a favor.
- Yeah.
582
00:31:20,912 --> 00:31:21,936
Run this license plate.
583
00:31:22,146 --> 00:31:25,206
King-Nora-Queen-8-6-3-3.
584
00:31:27,752 --> 00:31:29,276
Whoa.
585
00:31:29,687 --> 00:31:31,518
- What?
- You're never gonna believe this.
586
00:31:31,689 --> 00:31:34,180
- What?
- The plate belongs to Judge Fenton.
587
00:31:35,193 --> 00:31:36,592
Are you kidding me?
588
00:31:37,896 --> 00:31:40,387
And it's not even my birthday.
589
00:31:43,401 --> 00:31:45,733
We missed you at the
Police Foundation Honors, Frank.
590
00:31:46,237 --> 00:31:48,637
Police Foundation honors its mayor.
591
00:31:48,806 --> 00:31:50,899
Am I wrong in thinking that
the police commissioner
592
00:31:51,075 --> 00:31:52,372
might wanna make an appearance?
593
00:31:52,543 --> 00:31:55,273
I'm sorry, Mr. Mayor.
I had urgent police business.
594
00:31:55,446 --> 00:31:59,883
So, now what's your excuse
for ducking our meeting today
595
00:32:00,051 --> 00:32:01,814
with the FBI bureau director
in charge?
596
00:32:01,986 --> 00:32:04,079
I don't have one.
597
00:32:05,123 --> 00:32:06,818
What am I supposed
to do with that?
598
00:32:06,991 --> 00:32:09,551
They want your guys to back
off the Vega case.
599
00:32:10,428 --> 00:32:12,055
I am not your apologist, Frank.
600
00:32:12,230 --> 00:32:15,427
And when the federal government
wants, demands a meeting,
601
00:32:15,600 --> 00:32:19,001
I won't have you letting me stand there
alone like an idiot, holding my...
602
00:32:19,570 --> 00:32:21,333
Sir?
- What is it, Baker?
603
00:32:21,506 --> 00:32:24,168
Sorry, but you said to interrupt
if we heard from Detective Carter
604
00:32:24,342 --> 00:32:27,072
and he's on line one.
He's located Theodore Wessel.
605
00:32:27,245 --> 00:32:28,974
I have to take this call, Mr. Mayor.
606
00:32:29,414 --> 00:32:31,177
Yeah, I understand.
607
00:32:31,349 --> 00:32:33,943
Urgent police business, right?
Lives at stake.
608
00:32:34,519 --> 00:32:36,282
Et cetera.
609
00:32:43,428 --> 00:32:45,157
Bring him in.
610
00:32:52,136 --> 00:32:53,865
You're tired?
611
00:32:54,038 --> 00:32:56,199
Well, that's too bad,
because nobody is gonna sleep
612
00:32:56,374 --> 00:32:57,864
until I find out what happened.
613
00:32:58,042 --> 00:32:59,168
I don't know what happened.
614
00:32:59,344 --> 00:33:02,336
How many times I gotta tell you?
I didn't have nothing to do with it.
615
00:33:02,513 --> 00:33:06,506
You did. You killed the kid and then
you buried him behind the wall.
616
00:33:06,684 --> 00:33:08,709
You were the super of the building.
617
00:33:08,886 --> 00:33:12,219
Nobody would've thought anything
if they saw you there covered in dust.
618
00:33:12,390 --> 00:33:15,951
Don't know what you're talking about,
everybody could access the basement.
619
00:33:16,127 --> 00:33:18,823
That's 150 storage lockers
and the laundry room.
620
00:33:18,997 --> 00:33:21,761
You know what?
I can't stand the sight of you.
621
00:33:25,003 --> 00:33:27,198
- He's not giving it up, Frank.
- I know.
622
00:33:27,372 --> 00:33:29,533
We've got nothing
without his confession.
623
00:33:29,707 --> 00:33:32,073
I've been in there with him
for four hours.
624
00:33:32,276 --> 00:33:33,971
I wanna talk to him.
625
00:33:35,813 --> 00:33:37,906
Okay, commissioner.
626
00:33:46,357 --> 00:33:47,654
Remember me?
627
00:33:48,192 --> 00:33:50,490
I think you're
the police commissioner.
628
00:33:51,295 --> 00:33:53,490
I am now.
629
00:33:53,664 --> 00:33:56,895
You were the superintendent
of a building that Leo Gates passed by
630
00:33:57,068 --> 00:33:58,660
on the way to and from school.
631
00:33:58,836 --> 00:34:00,997
We talked on
632
00:34:01,172 --> 00:34:05,768
November 10th,
the day after Leo went missing.
633
00:34:05,943 --> 00:34:07,535
I was the super of the building.
634
00:34:07,712 --> 00:34:09,407
I already told the detective that.
635
00:34:09,580 --> 00:34:13,380
Can I get you something
to eat or drink, Mr. Wessel?
636
00:34:13,551 --> 00:34:14,848
I just want to get out of here.
637
00:34:15,019 --> 00:34:18,420
I'm not going to tell you anything
different than I did him.
638
00:34:20,324 --> 00:34:21,416
We found this
639
00:34:22,560 --> 00:34:25,051
in Leo Gates' backpack
with his remains.
640
00:34:25,229 --> 00:34:27,459
It's a fourth grade
writing assignment.
641
00:34:27,632 --> 00:34:29,691
Kind of a fill-in-the-blank biography.
642
00:34:29,867 --> 00:34:35,134
"November 9th. Leo Gates.
Name. Cares deeply about my family.
643
00:34:35,339 --> 00:34:38,467
What do you wanna be?
Professional baseball player.
644
00:34:38,643 --> 00:34:41,578
What do you love?
Anything to do with baseball.
645
00:34:41,746 --> 00:34:43,873
What do you fear?
646
00:34:44,215 --> 00:34:47,378
Not being able to hit a baseball."
647
00:34:47,618 --> 00:34:49,711
imagine that, Ted.
648
00:34:50,388 --> 00:34:54,222
Before November 9th,
all Leo was afraid of
649
00:34:54,392 --> 00:34:56,121
was not being able to hit a baseball.
650
00:34:59,864 --> 00:35:00,888
Why are you doing this?
651
00:35:01,065 --> 00:35:04,899
Well, I just wanted
to clear some things up.
652
00:35:05,069 --> 00:35:08,766
When we talked on November 10th,
653
00:35:08,940 --> 00:35:13,343
you were wearing a blue work shirt,
khaki trousers, tan work boots
654
00:35:13,511 --> 00:35:15,308
and a tool belt.
655
00:35:16,781 --> 00:35:18,373
Well,
656
00:35:18,749 --> 00:35:22,412
that's all I really had in my notes
657
00:35:22,587 --> 00:35:27,115
that matter,
but I have a pretty good memory, Ted.
658
00:35:27,291 --> 00:35:28,883
So,
659
00:35:29,694 --> 00:35:35,326
I'm in my office staring out
at my city
660
00:35:35,500 --> 00:35:38,526
and I thought of what
my superintendent used to say.
661
00:35:38,703 --> 00:35:42,161
"If it moves, you duct tape it.
If it squeaks, you WD-40 it.
662
00:35:42,340 --> 00:35:45,639
And if it's stuck,
you hit it with a hammer."
663
00:35:45,810 --> 00:35:48,870
And I don't know, I think that jogged
my memory because all of a sudden
664
00:35:49,046 --> 00:35:52,777
I had this kind of photograph
in my mind
665
00:35:52,950 --> 00:35:56,181
and I realized that when we talked,
666
00:35:57,121 --> 00:36:00,215
your hammer was missing
from your tool belt.
667
00:36:02,994 --> 00:36:04,518
And that's when I knew.
668
00:36:06,464 --> 00:36:08,364
I wouldn't hit a kid
in the head with a hammer.
669
00:36:08,533 --> 00:36:10,626
That's how Leo was killed.
How did you know that?
670
00:36:12,203 --> 00:36:14,671
- Detective Carter told me.
- No, he didn't.
671
00:36:15,506 --> 00:36:16,632
I read it in the paper.
672
00:36:16,807 --> 00:36:18,536
It wasn't in the paper, Ted.
673
00:36:21,212 --> 00:36:24,648
People steal tools all the time. I mean,
you set something down, they steal it.
674
00:36:30,154 --> 00:36:32,247
Couple days ago,
675
00:36:34,659 --> 00:36:37,219
I had to tell Laura Gates,
that's Leo's mom,
676
00:36:37,395 --> 00:36:40,558
I had to tell her
that Leo was dead.
677
00:36:41,499 --> 00:36:47,404
In a way, she seemed
relieved to know, finally.
678
00:36:47,572 --> 00:36:49,699
Because not knowing
679
00:36:49,874 --> 00:36:53,241
had taken a terrible toll on her, Ted.
680
00:36:54,045 --> 00:36:57,173
When you lose a child,
681
00:36:58,015 --> 00:36:59,915
it seems so unfair.
682
00:37:00,084 --> 00:37:02,018
I know.
683
00:37:02,186 --> 00:37:04,347
I lost a son.
684
00:37:05,256 --> 00:37:07,747
And I think you understand that
685
00:37:07,925 --> 00:37:11,861
you never really recover
from a loss like that.
686
00:37:22,006 --> 00:37:23,439
Read it.
687
00:37:26,944 --> 00:37:29,777
Could you read it out loud, please?
688
00:37:32,883 --> 00:37:37,445
"Dear Mrs. Gates, I am very sorry
that your son has disappeared.
689
00:37:37,622 --> 00:37:42,116
I know how terrible you must feel.
I am sorry for that."
690
00:37:42,727 --> 00:37:45,321
I think a good person wrote that letter,
Ted.
691
00:37:45,529 --> 00:37:46,928
A man with a conscience.
692
00:37:49,100 --> 00:37:51,295
Someone who made a mistake
693
00:37:51,469 --> 00:37:56,429
and regretted it and carried it
with him the rest of his life.
694
00:37:57,074 --> 00:37:58,974
A mistake that haunted him
695
00:37:59,143 --> 00:38:03,045
until it broke up his marriage and
turned him to alcohol to dull the pain.
696
00:38:03,981 --> 00:38:06,643
A mistake that left him broken.
697
00:38:07,151 --> 00:38:10,086
And that he never recovered from.
698
00:38:12,123 --> 00:38:14,421
You wrote that letter, Ted.
699
00:38:23,768 --> 00:38:25,292
It was raining.
700
00:38:25,469 --> 00:38:27,300
He was all wet.
701
00:38:27,471 --> 00:38:29,371
That's all.
702
00:38:30,708 --> 00:38:34,109
Just tell how you didn't mean to do it.
703
00:38:36,714 --> 00:38:38,944
Just write down everything.
704
00:38:47,291 --> 00:38:50,886
I would like to file a motion to dismiss
the charges against my client.
705
00:38:51,095 --> 00:38:53,791
- On what grounds, counselor?
- This is absurd, Your Honor.
706
00:38:53,964 --> 00:38:56,956
The only witness
has recanted her statement.
707
00:38:57,368 --> 00:38:58,665
Hold it. Excuse me.
708
00:39:00,137 --> 00:39:02,128
- Hey, don't mind us, judge.
Excuse me!
709
00:39:02,306 --> 00:39:04,900
There's a court in session here.
Sir, you are out of order.
710
00:39:05,109 --> 00:39:06,576
Yeah, I'm not the only one.
711
00:39:06,744 --> 00:39:09,235
- Sir! Sit down!
- I don't want to sit.
712
00:39:09,747 --> 00:39:11,806
Sir, I will find you in contempt.
713
00:39:11,982 --> 00:39:14,473
The only one in contempt here is you,
judge!
714
00:39:14,652 --> 00:39:16,620
Judicial misconduct, solicitation.
Tell him.
715
00:39:17,621 --> 00:39:20,249
I'm Vincent Pelligrino from
the Office of Court Administration.
716
00:39:20,424 --> 00:39:23,257
- Please step down, Your Honor.
- Don't call him "Your Honor."
717
00:39:23,427 --> 00:39:25,691
That word is reserved for people
who have some.
718
00:39:28,399 --> 00:39:29,661
Hey, Johnny boy.
719
00:39:29,834 --> 00:39:31,096
What's going on?
720
00:39:31,268 --> 00:39:33,429
Judge Fenton has a role
in one of those videos.
721
00:39:34,171 --> 00:39:37,072
He got caught with his pants down,
both literally and figuratively.
722
00:39:37,241 --> 00:39:38,674
Ain't that right, judge?
723
00:39:40,578 --> 00:39:42,910
That's why he's been ruling
on the side of Johnny Vega.
724
00:39:44,215 --> 00:39:49,243
This hearing is adjourned
pending a judicial review.
725
00:39:53,958 --> 00:39:57,758
Hey, not bad for a little fish, huh?
726
00:40:03,667 --> 00:40:06,693
- Hey, look who's here.
- Hey, Dad.
727
00:40:06,871 --> 00:40:08,236
Hey.
728
00:40:08,672 --> 00:40:11,539
- I heard what went on in there.
- Oh, yeah, classic Danny.
729
00:40:11,709 --> 00:40:13,108
Couldn't wait
until it was over,
730
00:40:13,277 --> 00:40:15,802
he had to burst into the courtroom
on his big white horse.
731
00:40:15,980 --> 00:40:17,038
Good times.
732
00:40:17,214 --> 00:40:19,739
Hey, we heard the commissioner
got a signed confession.
733
00:40:19,917 --> 00:40:21,908
A great day for the family business.
734
00:40:22,086 --> 00:40:24,077
We're gonna go
pat ourselves on the back.
735
00:40:24,255 --> 00:40:26,951
- Can you come?
- I've got stuff to do.
736
00:40:27,124 --> 00:40:28,386
Go ahead, you kids go.
737
00:40:28,559 --> 00:40:31,995
- Are you sure?
- Yeah, I'll take a rain check.
738
00:40:32,763 --> 00:40:34,993
- Bye.
- See you, Dad.
739
00:40:35,199 --> 00:40:37,224
I'm proud of you.
740
00:40:42,106 --> 00:40:47,738
I knew when they found Leo's remains
that you'd get the person responsible.
741
00:40:47,912 --> 00:40:50,710
I know it's small comfort.
742
00:40:51,649 --> 00:40:56,018
It's the only comfort I have,
that he'll be held accountable.
743
00:40:56,987 --> 00:40:58,716
I understand.
744
00:41:00,124 --> 00:41:01,614
You lost a son too.
745
00:41:04,128 --> 00:41:07,097
Not a day goes by
I don't think of him.
746
00:41:11,535 --> 00:41:13,332
But I have something.
747
00:41:13,504 --> 00:41:18,669
When they found Leo,
this was in his backpack.
748
00:41:25,049 --> 00:41:27,244
Ha.
749
00:41:29,887 --> 00:41:32,685
Leo loved baseball.
750
00:41:39,029 --> 00:41:41,327
Well, can I thank you now?
