00:00 Captain Wagner!

00:02 Estacione! Glad you could meet me here.

00:05 Oh my God! How could I not?

00:07 I mean, I've seen this in postcards, but to be here...

00:11 Officer Blanc said that you wanted to experience the real New York.

00:14 We have to go ice skating.

00:15 No.

00:16 Oh, come on!

00:17 No, thank you. No.

00:18 Okay.

00:19 So, I've been reading the language of the consent decree,

00:22 and you have a great deal of freedom in questioning who you want,

00:25 or going where you want.

00:26 Yes, I know. It's wonderful.

00:28 The intent is more to follow our officers.

00:30 Instead, it appears they're following you.

00:33 Captain, can I tell you a little bit about why I took this job?

00:40 I can't wait.

00:41 I spent 30 years being a lawyer,

00:43 and I sometimes knew the person I was defending was...

00:48 was guilty.

00:50 And then, this DOJ agent, Salitano,

00:53 he mentioned this job and said I didn't have to lie anymore,

00:57 that my work could be all about finding the truth,

01:00 and not just some better way of telling a lie for someone I was defending.

01:04 Why are you hounding Professor Medarian?

01:06 Alex? I'm not hounding him. I like him.

01:10 Ellsworth.

01:11 Yes?

01:12 Come on. You just talked about the truth.

01:14 So, please, be truthful with me.

01:16 You're right.

01:18 As a lawyer, I can always tell how guilty a client was by how much he talked,

01:24 and Alex talks a lot.

01:26 Also, he came to the crime scene.

01:28 Guilty men always want to be there. You know that.

01:31 So you think he killed his student?

01:33 Yes.

01:34 Why?

01:35 I don't know. That's what's bothering me.

01:37 I mean, I have ideas, but...

01:40 no proof.

01:44 Bye.
