"♪♪ his initial interrogation. he had nothing to hide." "Then we get the cop to tee up the conspiracy." "By talking about the once-a-year thing." "Then we recall Gail Meyers." "the Windsong stuff." "but we'll be like..." "Really?" "'Cause we disagree." "The defense would like to call..." "Grace Russo." "And Burris lights herself on fire." " It's good." " It's so good." "When do I get to testify?" "You didn't tell him?" "I thought you should tell him." "You just didn't want to see his sad face." "I'm right here." "You're not testifying." "There it is." "The sad face." " I know we said you were gonna testify." " But we changed our mind." "then we rest." "who knows what'll happen?" "I'll get to tell my side of the story." "isn't it true that you were angry with Amy Meyers so you killed her?" "thanks." "Dr. Brennan." " I didn't kill Amy Meyers." "Then why did you tell Michael Slater you did" " when you were at reform school?" " I didn't." "Why did your own sister say she saw you" " standing over Amy's body?" " I don't know." "She's lying." "so everyone's lying except you? - except you?" " No." "I'm telling you... isn't it true that no other viable suspect has come forward in 26 years because you are the only person with motive and opportunity?" "but you get the point. she gets the last word." "You don't testify;" "We don't need it." "we have this thing won by tomorrow." "CAMERON:" "Carolyn signed the clemency papers." "I'm filing them today." "ISAIAH:" "I called the governor for a meeting." "We'll see." "How is she?" "She feeling okay?" "She started chemo;" "It's been rough. but I was hoping she'd tell you." "we speak on the phone every night." "But the cancer doesn't come up." "What do you talk about?" "We read to each other." "Right now it's the Greeks." "She's never been able to get through the Iliad." "Isn't that the one where...?" "Everyone dies." "gruesome deaths." "It's all about the impermanence of life. and I'm weeping." "I'm so sorry." "and I'm a hapless Hector doing my best to win the war." "You got more flowers." " Keep 'em." " He's says he's sorry." "Please forgive him." "You read the card?" "Oh." "Oops." "Pretty flowers." "Who are they for?" "Cam." "They're from Peter Garrett." "Why did Peter Garrett send you flowers?" "I don't want to talk about it." "You said you were in a relationship with someone." " Are you with Peter Garrett?" " NICK:" "Remember the time she said she didn't want to talk about it?" "I said terrible things about him." "And you just let me go on and on." "you were right." "I said that he smelled like beef jerky." "we're at Otisville meeting a client." "Isn't that where you...?" "I served my time?" "Yeah." "Talk about guys who smell like beef jerky." "Peter doesn't smell like beef jerky." "Then take his flowers and forgive him." "and the breeder wants to make sure so I gave a bunch of you as references." "Pretty flowers." "your parents know you're here?" "They're outside in the waiting room." "My dad told me to answer all your questions." "SARANOV:" "Do you have any questions for me?" "BILLY:" "Yeah." "What happened?" "How did Amy die?" "is that right?" "but yeah." "And you were the original investigator on the case?" "That's right." "Billy Brennan was a teenager at the time. for four hours. but Senator Brennan said his family was an open book. this teenage boy gave you his version of the events that happened that night. and that he left her there alive. how many times did Billy's story change?" "not one." "He was rock solid. when we arrested Dr. Brennan." "ALBERT:" "So this was an active investigation for over 20 years?" "It was active for a year after the murder. which was the anniversary of Amy's death." "Was the revisiting your choice?" "Gail... was really vigilant about not letting it go;" "She'd call me every year on the anniversary for an update." "Every year?" "Did she call you this year?" "NICK:" "His name is Art Camston." "He's serving nine years for second-degree burglary." "I appealed based on a question of definition of the word "dwelling." (chuckles)" "Dwelling is where you dwell." "Define "dwell." "Where you sleep at night." "Define "night." (chuckles):" "Oh." "This is gonna be a super geeky appeal." "I can't wait." "thanks for supervising." " Of course." "I know you." "You did a bid here." " Right?" " Yeah." "Nick is a lawyer now." "We're here to see our client." "(wand beeps)" "SADIE:" "Detective Saranov testified that you called the police every year on the anniversary of your daughter's death." "Yes." "I want justice for my daughter. you didn't make that call." "Objection." "What's the point of this?" "Let's find out." "Amy had a sailboat." "(chuckles) This is her getting to the point?" "she will see my point." "Overruled." "Amy loved sailing." "And what was the name of that sailboat?" "Windsong." "Are you familiar with a corporate entity by the name of the Windsong Group?" "Yes." "Who's the sole shareholder?" "I am. the Windsong Group funneled a substantial donation you didn't call October 31st to check on the status of your daughter's murder investigation." " Objection." " Now she sees my point." "JUDGE MENDOZA:" "Overruled." "Let's see where this goes." "You didn't call because you didn't have to. which she did one month after assuming office." "If you're implying..." "I am saying that Gail Meyers bought herself" " a prosecution." " BURRIS:" "Objection!" " Move to strike." " SADIE:" "And I move to call Grace Russo as my next witness." "You're kidding me." " Is that an objection?" " You bet it is." "You need to have a good faith basis for calling her." "she's right about that." "What's your offer of proof?" "Here are the federal election commission filings from Russo's campaign for D.A." "Line 77 is pretty interesting." " SADIE:" "It's a contribution." " ALBERT:" "A big one." "000." "From Supported Justice NYC." "The sole contributor to Supported Justice NYC was the Windsong Group." " Sound familiar?" " Amy's sailboat. we can show that the Windsong money came entirely from Gail Meyers who wanted Billy arrested." "So our good faith offer of proof is this." "SADIE:" "Unimpeachable documents that show Gail Meyers paid Grace Russo to prosecute Billy Brennan." "it's not nothing." "People contribute to political campaigns all the time." "but I have a suspicious timeline and a damning paper trail." "I'm ordering the D.A. to take the stand." "Looks like half the D.A.'s office is here to see Russo testify." "(reporters clamoring)" "right?" "RUSSO:" "Of course. and a substantial contributor to my campaign for district attorney." "An office you won just over a year ago." "Yes." " Was a tight race." " It was." "you received a huge infusion of cash." "000 which is wholly owned by..." "Gail Meyers. public officials wouldn't have to go grubbing for money" " to get elected." " But you do." "and you did." "From Gail Meyers." "726 individual contributions to my campaign." "People give me money because they know I cannot be bought." "My entire campaign was built on a lifelong reputation for integrity." "the polls have you down by three points. which you used to purchase you won the election." "I did." "And I was very grateful." "Grateful for the chance to be a voice for the victims of New York City's criminals. you had Billy Brennan arrested for the murder of Amy Meyers." "I believe that and I'm thrilled that you're providing one." "I'm even happy to be here testifying." "I was asking about the timing of the prosecution." "No." "You were implying that there was a quid pro quo between me and Gail Meyers." "There was no such thing." "But you admit that you received the donation... to avoid even the appearance an independent senior prosecutor was assigned to make a recommendation about whether or not to prosecute Dr. Brennan." "I simply followed his recommendation." " SADIE:" "Calvin Ferretti." " Yes." "SADIE:" "An A.D.A. who was suspended from practicing the law when it was discovered that he had been tampering with evidence." "RUSSO:" "That's right." "And let me be clear here." "I had the highest expectations of professionalism and integrity in my office." "I terminated his employment" " immediately." " But you admit the man who recommended Billy Brennan be prosecuted was corrupt." "RUSSO:" "I hate to throw cold water on your carefully crafted conspiracy theory... but A.D.A. Ferretti was selected for this investigation by the head of Major Crimes." "I had nothing to do with it." "I kept myself out of this precisely so you couldn't come in here and peddle your outlandish fantasies." "is there anything else?" "Ms. Burris?" "I think the district attorney has done just fine." "huh?" "All legit." "I feel like a proud papa." "You know what they called him in here?" "I can't wait to find out." "you don't have to get into..." " "Gotcha Man." "you need anything... whatever you got to score..." "We actually don't have a ton of time." "just like that." "your case." "Counselor." "the brief we filed is based on case law that's over a hundred years old." "but it still works." "anyway." "The argument we're making is that you should've been convicted of burglary which carries a minimum of three years." "You've already served three and a half... get to see my kids." "Eat a decent meal." "huh?" "I eat all right." "You got a comfortable mattress?" "it's good." "I mean? green grass under my feet. get you that grass under your feet." "TANYA:" "You know I'm sober?" "12 years now." "I made a mess of my life." "Even ruined my brother's wedding." "Got drunk and created a scene... she was an idiot." "They even threw in that I thought she had a dog face." "Because she does have a dog face." "not nice. but you know the real miracle?" "Dog Face forgave me." "Sorry." "None of my beeswax." "I'm just a sucker for forgiveness." "Alan?" "Alan." "Alan!" "Thanks for meeting me." "Why am I meeting you in a parking garage?" "I feel like I'm in All the President's Men." "I didn't want anyone to see us." "Alan?" "Russo's holier-than-thou act made me want to puke. she perjured herself on how Ferretti caught the case." "She personally ordered the re-investigation" " of the Brennan case." " How do you know that?" "Because I was assigned to do it." "I made a confidential recommendation that they not present the case to the grand jury. and Ferretti has the Brennan case." "You didn't think there was enough evidence to move forward? but I do know that there is plenty of evidence suggesting that Russo decided that's the narrative." "And anything that doesn't fit that narrative needs to be suppressed." "Like what?" "It's a police report from the initial investigation. a guy that the cops questioned way back when:" "Eli Wagener. low-level drug dealer." "He claims that he and Amy were friends." "You remember the boxes of discovery we sent over?" "Calvin left that out." "Are you saying Russo told him to?" "I'm saying that it seems Russo didn't want you to know there was an alternate suspect you could use as a plan "B." "please." "half pepperoni." "I'd... thanks." "I was looking for and... that's..." "You're not supposed to find that now." "That's... that's when you're supposed to see that." " You're not gonna lose." " I know." "I just..." "I wanted you to have some reminders of me." "I don't need reminders." "I'll have you." "I..." " (intercom buzzes)" "(sighs)" " Yeah?" " ALBERT:" "It's me." "(intercom buzzes) but I'm gonna open it with you the night we win." " Okay?" " Okay." " (door opens)" " Hey." "You got any tequila?" "What's going on? - and so do you." " Now you're scaring me." "Drink it." "(sighs)" "I think I know who killed Amy." "We can't call Eli Wagener without knowing what he's gonna say." "He's gonna say what's in the police report." "What about what's not in the police report?" "and you've got no comeback." "So don't call him?" "I'm saying make sure you think it through." "Evander Holyfield." "please don't throw boxing back in my face." "How many times have I told you?" "you don't go for the knockout. can you live with that?" " So put him on the stand?" " No." "Just come to an agreement." "An nation divided cannot stand." "He does reinforce our corrupt D.A. narrative." "Seven years for assault." "He was supposed to meet Amy in the park." "Call him as a hostile witness." " Give the jury a bad guy." " SADIE:" "Another bad guy." "Russo's the baddest of the bad." "like we're talking about a case." "We are talking about a case." "Good." "Keep doing it." "I'll act fascinated." " What's going on?" " LUCY:" "Cam?" "but Peter Garrett's here to see you." "Oh." "I said don't look now." "(whispers):" "I'm busy." "you have to go talk to him." "and I thought I made that abundantly clear by avoiding his calls and texts." "get the A.D.A." "out of my waiting room." "It's bad for business." "Tell him to wait in my office." "Is now a bad time to say "I told you so about dating a prosecutor?" "NICK:" "Section 140.25 defines burglary as..." "I think we can all read the statute." "Quinn v. People... 1878?" "We're seriously doing this?" "NICK:" "Defines a dwelling as a place occupied at night." "as..." "I'm going with "not." "as the period of time between 30 minutes after sunset and 30 minutes before sunrise." "the complainant worked the graveyard shift" " at a pickle factory." " A pickle factory?" "Possibly my favorite part." "yes." "It's a thing. in this so-called dwelling even once." "You're seriously arguing that it's not a dwelling because the victim worked the night shift?" "so Mr. Camston can only be convicted of burglary in the third degree." "Where did you even come up with this ridiculous argument?" "actually." "I had a..." "I had a lot of downtime to read." "It's where I met Mr. Camston. acknowledges that he stole the TV and he shouldn't have." "But that only makes him guilty not second." "So the court should release him with time served." "I'll take all of this under advisement and get my ruling back to you ASAP. (laughs) amazing!" "The D.A. willfully withheld exculpatory information." "I don't know anything about Eli Wagener or the police report or the hiding of the report." "I literally don't know anything." "not us. and there's only one remedy:" "Dismissal with prejudice." "I'm not gonna do that." "Then the D.A. should be sanctioned and admonished in front of the jury." "the prosecution willfully withheld information about this witness from the defense." "and you may consider that in your deliberations. you knew Amy Meyers." "Yes." "didn't you?" " Yep." " You were going to sell her drugs." "Objection." "No foundation. given that the witness has three prior convictions for distribution of marijuana and cocaine." "I was gonna give her some pot. rich." " Yep." " She was out of your league." " Whatever." "Fact is we were hooking up." "Really?" "She never mentioned you to anyone." "Not her friends or family." "Amy was afraid of Billy." "He had a temper." "She was gonna break up with him;" "Thought he might get violent. be sure she was okay." "You were concerned with her welfare?" "Believe it or not." "You're serving a seven-year sentence for gang assault" " in the first degree." " It's on my rap sheet." "Was the victim in that case a man or a woman?" " A woman." " So you've even got a history of violence against women." " Objection." " To what?" "I'm just stating the facts. did you kill Amy Meyers?" "No." "Did you go to Gramercy Park that night?" "Yeah." "I waited an hour." "She never showed. and there's no eyewitness that saw you standing over the body." "So there's nothing to connect you to Amy's murder?" "Because I didn't kill her." "I... please. but there are certain things that you just don't do as a straight guy. tell you boys don't cry." "That list of rules gets longer the older you get." "Don't wear pink." "unless you're grilling meat." "And definitely don't date a trans woman." "doing those things makes you gay." "talk to your therapist." "I did." "Been talking to her once a week but I just..." "I just need to say this out loud." "I would dive in head first and be awesome at it." "But I'm not gay." "can we not do this?" "you have had a long time to think about trans stuff." "Can you just give me a quick "who am I" moment?" "fine." "Thank you." "dating a trans woman is supposed to make you less of a man." "I feel like more of a man." "More myself." "Better. and I've never had to question any of those rules about being a man before." "first thing I did when I got to New York was drag a grill out on my fire escape." "You love that grill." "Yeah." "I could push all of those questions aside." "But when I thought about the people in that courtroom... the stenographer..." "I knew exactly what they would think if we told them we were dating." "I would have thought the same cruel things." "That there is something wrong with me." "Some... failure of masculinity." "And I run a courtroom. of all places..." "I couldn't get out of bed." "So you called in sick and didn't text me." "Because I was ashamed." "I was being a coward." "I know I shouldn't care about what decide to throw out all of those things that have been hardwired into you since recess." "I freaked out." "Then you came over to my place and you kicked my ass." "And I realized that I was gonna have to either learn or learn to live without you." "none of this is actually complicated." "At all." "I want to side with you." "No matter what." "and no matter who." "There's a victim's rights fundraiser tonight." "Most of my office is gonna be there." "Be my date." "Meet my people." "No." "just... just no? Peter?" "That doesn't make me feel great." "And we could have talked about that but you disappeared." "I'm just supposed to trust that that won't happen again?" "No." "(sighs)" "I was never violent with Amy." "She wasn't scared of me." "He's lying." "Of course he's lying." "The jury knows it." "And we'll double down on that in our closing." "we rest." " We rest." "we make it all about Russo." "Gail Meyers wanted Billy in jail." "Russo wanted money for a campaign." " We have reasonable doubt." " Totally." "I want to testify." "I want to tell the jury and I think they need to hear it from me." "listen to me." "it won't work." " (Sighs)" "You'll smile too much." "Or not enough." "and a juror will see that as guilt." "It's too risky. and your right and your life." "too." "Billy. you don't go for the knockout." "I have to rely on instinct." "I have a split second to decide what to do;" "It's life and death." "But so is this." "And every instinct in me is screaming to take the stand and talk to the jury." "But I'm not a lawyer;" "I've never done this before." "So... fine." "I won't take the stand." "We rest." "Okay." "Okay." "Thank you." "you know what's weird?" "Where were Art's kids and his family? and she hardly ever brings the kids around." "he's not gonna get his dream." "What was your dream?" "What did you want when you got out?" "This." "Doing this." "helping the guys who are still in there." "And root beer floats." "(laughs)" "Did you get the call?" "From the pig people?" "No." "Pig people?" "No." "The governor." "He wants to meet." "It's exciting." "What's exciting?" "Lucy is getting a teacup pig." "whatever." "What did Peter want?" "You won't believe what he said to me." "That he'll never smirk again and it's wrong to keep human beings in cages? talking about his feelings and his childhood." "Wow." "That is messed up." "Then he invited me to some benefit tonight." "You gonna go?" "My boyfriend may be going to jail for the rest of his life. he's a good person." "And he wants to be with you." "But he just ghosted me." "Can't judge a person by their worst act." "Isn't that what we always say in court?" "but do we mean it?" "I think we do." "(phone vibrating)" " Pig people?" " Pig people." "CAMERON:" "Sadie says I'm an idiot." "(sighs)" "I'm the idiot." "I was still mad." "I had my guard up. yours was pretty darn good." "Well..." "I meant every word." "I know." "I'd love to be your plus one to this stupid thing tonight." "The offer still stands." "(sniffs) wh-what are you doing?" "You smell nothing like beef jerky." "Thanks for noticing." "I understand that the evidence is in and both sides plan to rest." "Your Honor." "Yes." "The defense is prepared to rest." "you don't intend to call your client to testify?" "we don't." "do you understand that under the Sixth and Fourteenth Amendments you have the right to testify on your own behalf? the Fifth Amendment grants you the right to remain silent." "You don't have to say a word." "You don't have to prove your innocence." "The burden of proof rests solely on the prosecution." "BILLY:" "I understand." "Have you discussed these rights with your lawyers?" " I have." " Mr. Cobb?" "We've gone over the issues of waiver." "Dr. Brennan is aware of his rights." "the decision is yours and yours alone." "Do you agree with Mr. Cobb?" "Or do you intend to testify on your own behalf?" "I don't agree." "I'd like to take the stand." "I want to testify." "who doesn't love cake?" "But deciding at the last minute that is not my kind of surprise." "How are you surprised?" "taken over his own defense." "he panicked." "He's going to prison." "Maybe you should do the direct." "No way." "He's not just our client." "You love him." "You trust him." "too. it's you." "CONWAY:" "Sorry to make you wait." "chief of staff." "I thought we were meeting with the governor." "it's been a crazy day." "The governor sends his apologies." "But you've got me for so let's talk" " about Carolyn Rice." " She's been a model prisoner." " Mm-hmm." " And she's helped improve the lives even training service dogs." "Governor loves dogs." "look up and let us know if the governor is inclined to grant clemency." "He's sympathetic. prison reform is important to the governor. he can't take the heat for that right now. when he's on his way out of office and the political fallout is limited." "She may not have 18 months." "I'm sorry." "What just happened?" "Troy just fell." "I've heard of you." "Getting your law degree in prison and all. my interest was piqued." "Your argument was compelling." "Congratulations on turning your life around." "Your Honor." "the justices of 1878 couldn't have possibly foreseen the realities of today." "The victim lived there." "He paid rent and utilities." "The fact that he worked the night shift doesn't make it any less of a dwelling. your motion is denied." "The verdict stands." "The court is in recess." "Whoa!" "Are you kidding me?" "Art." "There's not much more we can do." "so that's it?" "That's..." " I wish I had more options." "huh?" "Forget about the rest of us on the inside." "he did everything he could do." "ART:" "He needs to do more." "He's the Gotcha Man." "He needs to figure something the hell out now!" "I'll say hi to Johnny Lozito for you." "(handcuffs clicking) pal." " What was that about?" " Nothing. she said no." "I was nervous." "I-I wanted it to be perfect." "it wasn't." "It went terribly." "I forgot my wallet." "And..." "Amy had to pay for our tokens to Coney Island. it started pouring rain." "she was so... positive about everything. for the next six hours." "I think I fell in love with her that day." "Tell us about the night of Amy's death." "things were going badly." "I was drinking and doing drugs." "And I was treating her... poorly. and she broke up with me in the park." "And... (chuckles softly) so I left her there." "When was the next time that you saw her? and Gramercy Park was a mob scene. and I saw Amy on the ground." "Did you kill Amy Meyers?" "I loved her." "I would never." "why did you choose to testify today?" "BILLY:" "This thing has been hanging over me for 26 years." "Friends and family members of taking a life." "It's made me closed off." "It's hard for me to trust or to be vulnerable." "I think that's why I like being in the O.R.;" "I wear a mask. I'm... my heart." "But I'm not Billy Brennan." "That name carries so much baggage." "I want to get my name back." "I want to get my life back." "So I welcome the chance to be here today to tell all of you that I did not kill Amy Meyers." "I did not." "I... did not. right?" "Another home run idea." "aren't you?" "Not for the pig." "Did the pig people call you guys?" "I gave them your cells." "do you know why they call them teacup pigs? no one would buy them." "And do you know how much pig manure you get from a bathtub-sized pig?" "it's gonna have to eat. because it's gonna eat 'cause I'm pretty sure your apartment building has a hungry pig are gonna be out on the street." "they didn't call." "Wow." "What was that?" "We lost." "He lost." "I'm sorry." "He's acting weird." "(phone ringing)" "It's the pig people." "What do I do?" "hungry animal that'll take all my money." "That was my last two boyfriends." "(imitating Lucy):" "Hi." "This is Lucy Alexander." "I did?" "that is so great." "I love pigs." "I love pork." "Same thing. how many chops can you get from a teacup pig?" "And do they come with recipes?" "Hello?" "Hello?" "I don't think you're getting a pig." "(knocking on door)" "NICK:" "I apologized to Lucy for the pig." "uh..." "Rough day." "Yeah." "want to go get a root beer float?" "Sure." "Why not?" "Nick." "Who was Johnny Lozito?" "just a guy I was in prison with." "Really?" "'Cause it seemed like it was more than that." "(sighs) Don't let Art get in your head." "you went to boarding school." "Yes." "Riverhill Academy. you threatened a science teacher." "He was so afraid of you that he locked himself in the classroom and called 911." "I was a teenager and my girlfriend had just been murdered." "He dropped the charges. you coldcocked a pizza delivery guy because your pizza arrived late." "That was a misunderstanding." "I'm sure." "Where did you do your surgical residency?" "The Cleveland Clinic." "and you were disciplined." "Is that another misunderstanding?" "There was a patient that died a young woman." "It was tragic." "you had an outburst." "You punched the wall so hard that your fist went through the plaster. then I'm guilty as charged." "she... she looked just like Amy." "And I saw her on the table..." "Seeing her face was one of the hardest things that I've ever been through in my life." "Why?" "it reminded me of... after she'd been killed." "The medical board disciplined you." "and they had the right to." "what did you say?" "Objection." "Asked and answered." "You said you saw Amy's face after she was murdered." "I-I..." "That's not what I meant." "you testified on direct examination the next time you saw Amy was when you were looking through the fence at her lying on the ground." "30 feet?" "You couldn't possibly have seen her face." "I must've misspoke." "I didn't mean I s..." "I actually saw her face." "Your sister Molly testified that she saw you looking directly in her face." " Objection." " No more questions." "Redirect." "You knew Amy since you were 12." "You knew her face intimately." "When you referred to the moment you meant through the fence." "this face you knew so intimately for so many years." "Yes." "That's all." "JUDGE MENDOZA:" "The witness is excused." "Does the defense rest?" "Your Honor." "Isaiah." "You came." "I wanted to read with you in person." "You weren't supposed to see me like this." "Cameron wasn't supposed to tell you." "she kept your secret better than anyone else could." "I didn't want to be a burden. all of your lives coming up here." "This is our life." "here... but you play the cards that you're dealt." "Does Sadie know?" "and you need to tell her."
