00:00I'll tell you why I think you're upset this way, Daryl.
00:14Because you believe in the right things.
00:17I used to. I don't know what happened to me.
00:20You think he's happy about what happened?
00:23You happy, Detective?
00:28I'm just doing a DD5.
00:30I'm just saying no one's happy with the situation.
00:33We just want everybody back on the same side.
00:36I think it's too late for that.
00:38I don't happen to think that's true.
00:40It's never too late. Right, Detective?
00:44Just do what you gotta do.
00:46Here you go.
00:48No.
00:48Hi.
01:01Hi.
01:02Did you get some sleep last night?
01:04A couple hours.
01:07Uh, you're here for their statements?
01:10On standby.
01:12These IAB guys still think they're gonna give some names.
01:16Then they're gonna go over to the switching yard and root for a train wreck.
01:19Uh, on dinner, I was thinking Giorgetti's.
01:30Fine.
01:31Unless you think someplace else.
01:33No.
01:35Giorgetti's is good.
01:36I'm looking forward to it.
01:41Me too.
01:42Good morning, John.
01:48Good morning, Andy.
01:52See you.
01:53Yeah.
01:54Good morning.
01:54I've got no place to work.
02:02Oh, they'll need our desk.
02:04The foreseeable future.
02:05Analyzing files.
02:07They're gonna start with World War II.
02:10Did you get your five in?
02:13Last night.
02:15Yeah.
02:16John.
02:18When they were done on the bus,
02:19they got onto you and Licalzi.
02:23Marino Ledger.
02:25Stuff like, uh,
02:26if it's Metavoy's case,
02:28how come you held a ledger?
02:31Got me in there crosshairs.
02:33I need your statement, John.
02:36I don't have a place to type one.
02:38I'll take an oral statement if you want.
02:42No, thanks.
02:43You know,
02:44our problem is, uh,
02:45your failure to notify.
02:47I want to say this to you one more time.
02:49We didn't know there were cops.
02:51I don't see you sitting up
02:52because some dealer got robbed.
02:54We set up
02:56because civilians
02:57were getting hurt.
02:59What were we doing,
03:00Brigham, huh?
03:01Were we running a shakedown
03:03looking to bust those cops
03:04to cut ourselves in?
03:06Lower your voice.
03:07You calling us dirty, huh?
03:08Why don't you get the balls up
03:10to say it?
03:11I'll tell you this much,
03:12Sipowicz.
03:13If you weren't dirty,
03:14you better pray these guys flip
03:15because right now
03:16you've got dickfist.
03:17I'll fail you to notify.
03:18I got dickfist, huh?
03:19I got dickfist.
03:21We got a homicide.
03:23Come on.
03:27Let's go do our job.
03:29Come on, Andy.
03:30We'll be here.
03:32If I got dickfist, Brigham,
03:33my fist looks like your face.
03:36Get back to me a little bit.
03:38When I need you to do this
03:39and knock on the stack, Roger,
03:41I know, I know.
03:42I know.
05:52Mine's been dead a good eight hours.
05:56See, on this one's hands,
05:58defense wounds.
05:59He's trying to protect themselves,
06:00cover his face.
06:03Might have a print
06:04on the inside of the lampshade.
06:06We got a blood trail out here.
06:07Come on.
06:09See you.
06:21See you.
06:23See you later.
06:23See you later.
06:24See you later.
06:25Come on, asshole.
06:41Walk into our apartment, then.
06:44No.
06:46He's going right out to fire escape.
06:48Cut on his right hand.
06:55See the blood on the hand?
06:56Oh, yeah.
06:58All right, here we go.
06:59So, Andy, you and John are with those busted cops, huh?
07:05Yeah.
07:06Watch yourself.
07:07There's blood all on the right side here.
07:09Yeah, right.
07:10So, listen, in reference to John,
07:13was IAB looking at him in any other reference?
07:26Come on, do better, Meta Boy.
07:28Here, here's the trail again.
07:33Yeah, well, I guess what I was wondering was,
07:37are they looking at John in connection with Lenardi?
07:41Yeah.
07:42Yeah.
07:42You know, where it was my case, you know,
07:46why didn't I have the ledger?
07:49Why didn't I get it those two days?
07:51My impression, one thing and another,
07:55it got turned in a little late.
07:57Right, yeah.
07:58That's right.
07:59One thing and another.
08:01I just never got around to vouchering it, you know.
08:05Never got around to asking for it.
08:08You know, when you work in a case,
08:09the paperwork's always last.
08:11Yeah, exactly.
08:12Well, our blood ends here.
08:15He must have drove off a gun into a cab.
08:17All right, let's get word to the ERs.
08:20Any walk-ins treated for knife wounds
08:23in the last 12 hours, right?
08:25Hey, make sure you get a sample of this blood here.
08:28Yeah, I got it.
08:29There's something inside here, too.
08:31You got to stay back.
08:33Why, what's going on?
08:34Sorry, ma'am.
08:36Look, I just want to go upstairs in my own business, all right?
08:39I'm sorry, ma'am.
08:40Excuse me, you live here?
08:43My cousin lives here.
08:44I was babysitting her kids.
08:46Who's your cousin?
08:47Barbara Kay, 344.
08:52Can I talk to you for a second?
08:55Kids, let me talk to your cousin for just one second.
08:58Medivore, why don't you give me a hand?
08:59What happened?
09:00Well, I just want to talk to you for a few minutes.
09:04Let's go over here.
09:08Listen, there's...
09:12There's no easy way for me to tell you this.
09:19Something happened in there, and your cousin got murdered.
09:24This?
09:26Oh, my God.
09:30Listen, you try to pull yourself together, if you can.
09:37Pull yourself together for the little ones, all right?
09:39Hi, Nero.
09:40Where's my mom?
09:43She's upstairs, baby.
09:46Son, listen.
09:48Why don't you come over here with me?
09:52Not avoiding me.
09:53Look after her for a second.
09:55Come here, boys.
09:56Listen, my name is Andy Sipowitz,
09:59and, uh...
10:01Well, I just want to talk to you for a second.
10:13Mr. Galsey,
10:14tell us what happened
10:16when you met Angelo Marino that night.
10:21We were in the back of his car.
10:22He asked me why I hadn't obeyed his instructions.
10:27And what were those instructions?
10:30To kill Detective John Kelly.
10:32And what was your reply?
10:34I said I was working on it.
10:36And what was Mr. Marino's reaction?
10:38He was infuriated.
10:41He said that I was in love with John Kelly.
10:43And was that the truth?
10:48Yes.
10:51What, if anything, did you think
10:53Marino would do at that moment?
10:56I was afraid he'd kill me
10:58and then later kill Detective Kelly.
11:01Did you believe Mr. Marino
11:02and his bodyguard to be armed?
11:04I knew Tony, his driver,
11:07carried a .38 revolver,
11:09and Angelo Marino
11:10usually carried a .45 caliber automatic
11:14in the pouch behind the passenger seat.
11:18Knowing them to be armed
11:19and fearing it was Mr. Marino's intention
11:22to kill you,
11:24how did you react?
11:26I panicked.
11:30I drew my off-duty weapon
11:31and I shot both men.
11:33Would it be fair to say
11:34that this was a spontaneous act
11:37born of panic and fear?
11:39Yes.
11:42As you know,
11:44someone else,
11:47Alphonse Giadella,
11:49confessed to these shootings.
11:53In effect,
11:54you got away with what you did.
11:57What prompted you to come forward?
12:00I couldn't live with myself anymore.
12:04Were you counseled by anyone
12:05to come forward?
12:06A priest.
12:08Father Jerry Downey.
12:09How did you come into contact
12:11with Father Downey?
12:14He's John Kelly's parish priest.
12:16I'd asked John
12:17if he knew someone I could talk to.
12:19Was giving you the name of his priest
12:21John Kelly's only connection
12:24with your decision to confess?
12:27Yes.
12:29John Kelly never knew about any of this.
12:34Nothing further, Your Honor.
12:40Mr. Kelsey,
12:41you've stated that six days elapsed
12:43between Angelo and Marino
12:44is ordering you to kill John Kelly
12:46on the time you shot and killed Marino
12:48in his drive.
12:49That's right.
12:50During that period,
12:54since you were directly disobeying his orders,
12:58did it occur to you that
12:59the next time you saw Marino
13:01you might be in danger yourself?
13:04I was worried,
13:05if that's what you mean.
13:06You knew the task he gave you
13:08to do was important to him,
13:09and you knew his reputation.
13:11Yes.
13:12When you were summoned to the meeting
13:14at which you knew
13:15you would have to confront him,
13:16do you recall how much notice
13:17you were given?
13:19A few hours.
13:20And during those hours,
13:22Mr. Kelsey,
13:23as you anticipated the meeting
13:25with a violent and dangerous man
13:28who, by your own account,
13:30had turned your life upside down
13:32and was threatening to destroy it,
13:34Is it your testimony
13:36that you never once considered
13:37the act that could solve
13:38all your problems,
13:40save the life of the man you loved,
13:42and extricate yourself
13:43from your own personal danger?
13:44I never thought about shooting Marino
13:46until I was in the car.
13:48Mr. Kelsey,
13:49how could this sense of danger
13:50come to you as a sudden revelation?
13:52You were an experienced police officer.
13:55You had successfully conducted
13:56a life of duplicity and secrecy
13:58for months on end,
14:00as you would for months to come.
14:02Was it only during these few hours?
14:04that your capacity for planning
14:06and forethought escaped you?
14:08I'm not pretending
14:09my behavior made sense.
14:11I think there's hard logic
14:12to your behavior,
14:13Mr. Kelsey.
14:13I think what you did in that car
14:15makes the coldest kind of sense.
14:17Is there a question in there,
14:19Your Honor?
14:23Mr. Kelsey,
14:24as someone with considerable
14:25professional experience,
14:27do you believe that a woman
14:28who shot and killed two men
14:30would receive more favorable treatment
14:32if she were to appear
14:34to confess voluntarily
14:35and with remorse
14:36or if an ex-lover turned her in?
14:39Objection.
14:39Irrelevant.
14:41Sustained.
14:42Nothing further than,
14:43Your Honor.
14:46You may step down,
14:48Miss O'Kalsey.
14:48I've got a fancy
15:06I've got a double homicide,
15:21black male and female,
15:23both multiple stab wounds.
15:26Found a paring knife
15:27at the crime scene,
15:29could be the murder weapon,
15:30along with some foil crack pipes.
15:33Trailed blood to the street,
15:34he could have used a car
15:35to get away.
15:36Picked up a guy.
15:38Two neighbors say
15:39that he was threatening
15:40the female, Vic.
15:41Was the guy cut?
15:43No, not on the hands.
15:45He said he was with another woman
15:46all night long.
15:48She's not home,
15:49but Medivoy and Martinez
15:50are looking for her now.
15:55That's the third dealer
15:57to pick Quentin Geis
15:58out of lineups.
15:59Yeah.
15:59You point the finger
16:04at anybody else?
16:05They're not moving.
16:07They both say
16:07it was just them.
16:09IAV must be thrilled.
16:11Excuse me.
16:12They're waiting
16:12for your DD5.
16:14He's conducting an interview
16:15on a double homicide.
16:16I don't care
16:17if he's conducting
16:17the New York Philharmonic.
16:19I want that DD5.
16:23And he's got the interview.
16:24He's Donna's desk.
16:40You got a warrant
16:41on you, Bernard.
16:42Look,
16:44I admit I got a problem.
16:47A terrible problem
16:48with crack.
16:49Role violation
16:51associating with drug users.
16:53They put me in.
16:54It jammed me up
16:55on parole.
16:57But I hold the job.
16:58I'm not robbing
16:59and I'm not breaking in.
17:01That bitch Barbara
17:02took my money
17:04and didn't bring my rock.
17:05I'm gonna mess
17:06that bitch up good.
17:08Two different witnesses
17:10heard you say that
17:11last night.
17:12When I gave her my money
17:13around 8 o'clock,
17:14she said she'd be right back.
17:15So when 9.30 rolls around,
17:17I'm mad
17:18because the bitch
17:19wasn't back.
17:21You got any fresh cuts
17:22on you, Bernard?
17:23No, nothing.
17:24Just some old scars.
17:28Oh, look.
17:30I wasn't the only one
17:31gave Barbara money.
17:32Three, four of the dudes
17:33did too.
17:34See, you got to understand.
17:36When the weather's okay,
17:38that building is wide open.
17:40I mean,
17:40it's like one great big party.
17:42People moving in
17:43and out all night long.
17:45Music, refreshment.
17:47Yeah, right.
17:48I mean,
17:48people moving from one place,
17:50boom, to the next.
17:51So when she gets back
17:52right before 10,
17:53I go over this other woman's crib
17:55to watch Star Trek on TV.
17:57This is Shawanda
17:59that no one can find.
18:01look,
18:04there was this dude
18:08with Barbara
18:09when she came back
18:10from copping, okay?
18:12He was with her.
18:14Or he followed her.
18:16Or whatever.
18:16All I know is
18:17I didn't see him before.
18:19This isn't Jerome
18:20she was killed with.
18:21No, Jerome
18:22was inside her place.
18:24I didn't know this dude.
18:25He wasn't from
18:25around the building.
18:26Yeah.
18:29Andy,
18:29you got a second?
18:30Yeah.
18:33You said,
18:33thank Bernard.
18:40Yeah.
18:42It's, uh,
18:43Shawanda Wilson.
18:44First she said
18:44she was with this Bernard.
18:45Then she said
18:46she don't want to say anything.
18:50Shawanda,
18:51listen, uh,
18:54you know about
18:55the murders
18:55at the building last night?
18:57Don't know nothing
18:58about that.
18:58Come on, listen.
18:59If you were smoking
19:00some crack,
19:01getting high,
19:01nobody's going to
19:02give you trouble
19:03about that.
19:03We want to find out
19:04who did those killings.
19:06It wasn't Bernard.
19:07Because I saw
19:08Barbara downstairs
19:10when I come to my daughter
19:11to let Bernard in.
19:12What time was that?
19:14About 9.30.
19:17And you let him in?
19:18He stayed with you
19:19and never went back out?
19:20Uh-uh.
19:23What were you doing?
19:24I'm fooling around
19:25watching TV.
19:26Yeah?
19:27What'd you watch?
19:28Why?
19:29Go ahead,
19:29just tell me.
19:31Star Trek.
19:33Bernard watches
19:34the one with Spock.
19:35I like the one
19:36with LeVar.
19:38Great.
19:39Okay, thanks.
19:41All right,
19:41come on.
19:44John,
19:46this,
19:47this guy
19:47didn't do it.
19:49No cuts.
19:49No,
19:50no cuts.
19:51And a broadie's
19:51banging tells
19:52the right story.
19:53They were both
19:54watching the
19:54Starship Enterprise.
19:57The guy said
19:57he saw someone
19:58with the female
19:59victim different
20:00from who she
20:01got croaked with.
20:02Said,
20:03uh,
20:03she came back
20:04with this guy
20:05after she copped.
20:06Pick him up
20:07on the street.
20:08Son of a bitch,
20:09I'm gonna miss dinner.
20:11This is an
20:12incomplete statement.
20:14How is it
20:14incomplete?
20:15I want detail
20:16on why you set up.
20:17I want to know
20:18why this guy

20:19registered
20:19as an informant.
20:21How come
20:21you didn't want
20:22that on my five?
20:23What did you say,
20:24Sipowitz?
20:24I have a murder
20:25to attend to.
20:26I will fix that
20:27when I get back.
20:28You sit in court
20:29floating crap
20:30about that ledger.
20:31Then you think
20:31you're in a position
20:32to dictate schedules.
20:33I will fix it
20:34when I get back.
20:35You're gonna find out

22:21shortcut?
22:22Yeah, come on.
22:23You're still
22:24full of yourself.
22:25You're not

22:57You're a moron.
22:59But all these are
22:59tinted windows they

23:03daylight.
23:03I see Calvin by
23:06the caddy.
23:08What does he got

23:10Nothing.
23:10I just know him
23:11from the joint.
23:12You trying to bust
23:13my balls, Bernard?
23:14No.
23:15If you don't see

23:17building last night,
23:18I don't give a
23:19rat's ass what you

23:22Sylvia couldn't

23:28later.
23:29It's good work
23:30unless we did it
23:31on time.
23:31The dinner's

23:33It's bagged.
23:34Do it another
23:35night.
23:35Yeah.
23:37How about your
23:38buddy?
23:40Dan?
23:41Oh, he's great.
23:42He just stopped
23:42in to predict
23:43my doom.
23:45I don't see him.
23:48Well, I'll tell
23:48you what, Bernard.
23:49If we have to come
23:50back here tomorrow,
23:51we're gonna have to
23:51lock you up tonight,
23:52so you make the
23:53decision.
23:54Well, I understand.
23:56Well, it's bigger
23:57you.
23:57You.
24:01I'm speaking with
24:09Gina Zerone,
24:11former girlfriend
24:12of a soldier in
24:14the Marino crime
24:15family.
24:16Gina now lives
24:17without allies in
24:18the no-man's land
24:20between those who
24:20enforce the law
24:22and those who
24:23break it.
24:24As we speak here
24:25tonight, you're in
24:27fear for your life,
24:28aren't you, Gina?
24:29Yes, I am.
24:30You're in fear of
24:31reprisal from both
24:32sides of the law.
24:34Yes, I am.
24:36Yesterday, Gina
24:38testified at the
24:39Blue murder trial
24:40of former police
24:41officer Janice
24:42LaCalce.
24:43She identified
24:44Detective John
24:45Kelly as witness
24:46to a meeting
24:47between Janice
24:48LaCalce and
24:49Gina's boyfriend,
24:51Richie Katana,
24:52who has since
24:53been gruesomely
24:54murdered.
24:55And she has even
24:56more startling
24:57accusations she's
24:58prepared to
24:59share with the
24:59public tonight.
25:01Gina, your
25:02boyfriend told
25:03you that Tommy
25:04Lenardi, successor
25:05to Marino as
25:06Capo, had told
25:08him that Marino
25:09had more contacts
25:10in the police
25:11department than
25:12the eleven
25:13officers whose
25:14names had been
25:14revealed to this
25:15point.
25:16That was what
25:17he told me, yes.
25:19And what did
25:22you infer from
25:23this as regards
25:24John Kelly?
25:26When I saw
25:27John Kelly
25:28following Janice
25:29LaCalce that
25:30day, I put
25:31two and two
25:32together.
25:33Now you're
25:34Ab?
25:37She's got you
25:38pegged, John.
25:39You were in
25:40Marino's pocket
25:41all along.
25:45I hate
25:46but he's
25:46talking to
25:47Meta Boy
25:47tomorrow.
25:50About the
25:51ledger?
25:51Yeah.
26:01Come here.
26:03Come here.
26:04Come here.
26:04We've heard a great
26:27deal about the
26:27enormous pressures
26:29Miss LaCalce was
26:31under, her worries
26:32for her father's
26:33reputation and
26:34career, her love
26:35for Detective Kelly.
26:37But ladies and
26:38gentlemen, no one
26:40made Janice LaCalce
26:42get into Angelo
26:43Marino's car.
26:45She had a choice.
26:48As a police
26:49officer, she knew
26:50she could have
26:51Marino arrested.
26:52She chose not to do
26:54that.
26:54Instead, she
26:56became judge,
26:58jury, and
26:59executioner all
27:01in one.
27:04Whether Janice LaCalce
27:06subsequently came
27:07forward out of
27:09genuine remorse
27:10or because her
27:11crime had been
27:12discovered by her
27:13lover and was
27:14about to be
27:14exposed, she is
27:17not relieved of
27:18her responsibility
27:19for what she did
27:20that night.
27:21Even in our age
27:23of pass-the-blame
27:24psychologizing,
27:26feeling like
27:26you're in a
27:27tight spot
27:28does not qualify
27:29as extreme
27:31emotional disturbance
27:33as defined
27:34by the law.
27:35When Janice LaCalce
27:36fired those
27:37five hollow-point
27:39shells, she
27:40knew exactly
27:41what she was
27:42doing.
27:42She was getting
27:43out from under.
27:45The law
27:45describes such
27:46an act as
27:47murder with
27:48forethought.
27:49And it
27:50prescribes a
27:51price.
27:51it is your
27:54duty now
27:55to exact
27:57it.
28:12Ladies and
28:13gentlemen,
28:1417 months
28:16ago, Janice
28:19LaCalce
28:20began a
28:21desperate
28:21attempt to
28:23save her
28:24father's
28:24career and
28:25reputation
28:25and set
28:27in motion
28:27a series
28:28of events
28:29which culminated
28:31in a terrible
28:31act for which
28:32she's now on
28:33trial.
28:35Per the
28:36orders of
28:36Angelo
28:37Moreno,
28:38who was
28:39threatening
28:39to expose
28:43her father
28:44for having
28:45once been
28:46on the
28:46mob
28:46payroll,
28:48Janice LaCalce
28:49transferred
28:50precincts.
28:53Per
28:53Moreno's
28:54orders,
28:56she surveilled
28:57Detective
28:58John Kelly,
29:00seduced him,
29:02and won
29:03his trust.
29:05Then,
29:06as so often
29:07happens in
29:08this sort
29:08of human
29:10tragedy,
29:13fate
29:13played a
29:15cruel trick.
29:18Janice LaCalce
29:19and John
29:21Kelly
29:21fell in
29:24love.
29:25Then,
29:26she was
29:28ordered
29:28to kill
29:31him.
29:34For all
29:35her desire
29:36to protect
29:37her father,
29:39Janice LaCalce
29:40could never
29:40commit such
29:41a repugnant
29:41act.
29:43Day after
29:44day went
29:44by,
29:45and still
29:45she failed
29:46to carry
29:47out
29:47Moreno's
29:48order.
29:50After six
29:51days,
29:52she was
29:53summoned by
29:54Moreno to
29:54a meeting
29:55in an
29:56underground
29:57garage.
29:59She knew
29:59the meaning
29:59of the
30:00summons.
30:01She knew
30:02that by
30:02failing to
30:03act,
30:04she had
30:04put her
30:04own life
30:05at risk
30:05as well.
30:07As Janice LaCalce
30:09entered
30:09Angelo
30:10Moreno's
30:10car,
30:11she was
30:11like someone
30:12who had
30:12gone off
30:12a cliff.
30:14At that
30:14instant,
30:15in fear
30:15for her
30:16life,
30:16as Moreno
30:17confronted
30:17her,
30:18Janice LaCalce's
30:19instincts
30:19took over.
30:21In a
30:21single,
30:22explosive,
30:22and unthinking
30:23moment,
30:23she reacted.
30:32The woman
30:33you are
30:33a judge
30:34could not
30:36be more
30:37different
30:37from those
30:39who hide
30:39behind the
30:40shield of
30:40victimization
30:42in order
30:44to deny
30:44the most
30:45egregious
30:45acts.
30:48Janice LaCalce
30:49is taking
30:50responsibility
30:50for her
30:51actions.
30:53Janice LaCalce
30:55is willing
30:55to pay her
30:56debt to
30:57society.
30:58all she
30:59asks
31:00is that
31:01you take
31:02into
31:02account
31:03the
31:04obvious
31:04and
31:05undeniable
31:06presence
31:07of what
31:08the state
31:09penal
31:09code
31:09calls
31:10extreme
31:11emotional
31:12disturbance.
31:16If you
31:17believe
31:18that a
31:19woman
31:20threatened
31:20with her
31:21father's
31:21destruction,
31:23the murder
31:24of her
31:24lover,
31:26and her
31:26own likely
31:27death,

43:06uh yes
43:08who turned that ledger in for voucher
43:13uh that was detective john kelly
43:16your case log shows that the ledger was entered two days following the other evidence
43:21uh that was on me
43:24uh my logging was interrupted
43:27i knew detective kelly had the ledger and uh
43:31i didn't get around to ask him for it for a couple of days
43:34what interrupted your logging
43:36i don't specifically recall
43:41uh
43:43i was working on other aspects of the case
43:45so there was no resistance on the part of detective kelly in turning that ledger in
43:49none whatsoever
43:51but during that two day period
43:54was kelly the only detective with access to that ledger

50:45The mail they said would never happen.
51:08I'm sorry about all the delays.
51:15Excuse me.
51:19Could you bring us that bread that smells like olive oil?
51:23It's cut into these little cubes.
51:25Focaccia.
51:26Yeah.
51:27We don't have it.
51:28It's very nice, Panamorino.
51:31She likes that other game.
51:32But we don't make it anymore.
51:35Sorry.
51:37And it's okay.
51:39Now, part of the reason why we came here is because you like that bread.
51:43It doesn't matter.
51:45I'll try the Panamorino.
51:51Okay.
51:54It doesn't matter.
51:56Oh, they have fresh Panamorino.
52:10I'm very happy that we're having dinner here like this.
52:16Me too.
52:17Well, you know, I had to take things step by step.
52:23I'm proud of how you did things.
52:25My whole thing is I have to learn how to take things in stride.
52:36Not get so worked up.
52:39Like when we had to cancel last night.
52:43Or with this bread here.
52:45A couple of years ago, that's a three-alarm fire.
52:50I'm proud of your self-control.
52:54Well, I'm going to get there.
52:58Like, uh, I got, uh, I got, uh, I got my work here, you know, and, uh, I got my, my problem, which I'm making progress on.
53:12And you.
53:15Yeah.
53:16Look, why don't we get married?
53:28I mean, don't say nothing now.
53:33I'm just thinking out loud.
53:34It's okay.
53:35Nothing is more important to me than the trust of my audience.
53:49So if the statement I'm about to make causes me personal embarrassment or discomfort,
53:56that's a price I'm willing to pay.
53:58Ladies and gentlemen, new information I've been made privy to in the last few hours exonerates Detective John Kelly
54:08and casts severe doubt on the veracity of my witnesses.
54:15Where'd that come from?
54:19Somebody else must have bought them.
54:28Sinclair thinks I'm only going to do about six months.
54:35It did good for you.
54:38You did good for me.
54:48You know the way upstate?
54:51I know the way upstate.
54:58You know the way upstate.
