Murder in the First (2014) - Season 2 Edit

A bunch of people.

A few days before Criolla's murder,

About this head man you keep referencing.

According to the state penal code,

After careful examination,

Again, I want to remind...

Against the mitigating factors rests solely with me.

All right, enough, okay? It doesn't matter.

All right, sexy, let's put you on ice.

All right, well, uh, hypothetically, Captain,

All right. [chuckles]

All right. I'll take it to Koto.

All right. I'm gonna see if I can round him up.

All you need to know is he ain't coming back...

Already underway.

Alyssa knew about them, maybe they know about her

Alyssa, the entire police force thinks that you played me.

ALYSSA: David?

ALYSSA: There's nobody here, David.

And a recommendation of the death penalty.

And Dustin Maker is present, as well.

And got shot instead.

And he kills Suger's sister

And I call them, and I'm like, Help.

And I could hear some yelling.

And I just need something to believe in.

And I'm [laughing] freaking out.

And I'm having a hard time

And I'm not going to leave you, I promise you.

And Junior called you and told you not to.

And makes it look like a suicide.

And makes it look like Chan.

And no one will ever know.

And not just for my client.

And now we really are done.

And political bullshit,

And Potrero's mine.

And reviewed the facts of this case,

And she figures out what The Union is doing

And she goes silent for a couple seconds,

And shipped in a goddamn box to her brother.

And so would the department.

And that brings us to the end of story time.

And that there would be blowback.

And the community at large as a result of your actions.

And the dates aren't the same.

And the responsibility for weighing the aggravating factors

And the safe is empty!

And the snake bites me.

And this guy gets a slap on the wrist?

And this head man gets off scot free.

And those mistakes can undo the system,

And unlike you, I have the proof to back up my claim.

And we have reason to believe

And were the result of extensive planning.

And were the result of extensive planning.

And yet the clock is still ticking.

And, of course, one day, I get distracted,

And... and I just want to put some protections in place

And... and relocation if necessary.

Andy Chan, Suger Cascade.

Anybody I.D. the driver?

Anybody see anything?

Anybody see anything?

Anything?

Appearing for the government.

Apples and oranges, Hildy. You know that.

Are far outweighed

Are you actually trying to sell me on self defense?

Around 10:00.

As aggravation, I find

As I imagine the head man,

As mitigation, I have taken into account

As the guy who rooted out all those bad apples,

As well as your childhood history,

As well as your expression of remorse for what you did.

Asked for a professional who can make somebody go away.

At the checkout line.

At the same time, Sarah Tran's body washes up.

Attorney General Mario Siletti.

Be more interesting if they found out after they killed her.

Be my guest.

Be seated.

Been there myself.

Before she does.

Being run out of the prison system.

Believe in that.

Black escalade. All right, what about plates?

Black male in his 20s, gunshot wound to the head.

Business comes and goes.

But all we have right now is the money trail.

But by the time I got into the living room,

But his story will end up buried in the paper somewhere,

But I didn't see it.

But I I cannot give you any guarantees. She's...

But I know who started it.

But still, he's got all those mouths to feed.

But that has nothing to do with our relationship.

But the head man figures out a way to make it all go away.

But the world is a better place without him in it.

But then Kaleb messes up,

But there was some kind of argument at the party,

But we will most definitely be in touch.

But we're Homicide, remember?

But when mistakes are made

But you have to help me, too.

But you have to know... you have to know...

But, everybody, keep your cool, all right?

But, hey [chuckles] I'm not the enemy.

But, I mean, she's ready to talk,

By reason to believe,

By the aggravating factors in this case.

California law provides you the right of elocution.

Can you not put someone else on this, please?

Care to be specific?

Clean myself up, rehab.

Come on. That's not what this is about.

Committed to the custody of the government

Congratulations.

Criolla was far from powerless.

D Do I look like I'm kidding, Hildy?

DANIELS: Inspector, we've been over...

DANIELS: On what evidence?

DANIELS: Regardless of your remarkably thin skin...

Did he tell you how he killed Sarah Tran...

Did he tell you that?

Did he tell you that?

Did they know that Sarah Tran was an undercover cop?

Did Walt and Kaleb know that Sarah Tran was undercover?

Did you kill him?

Did you make a deal for me?

Do you really think this third person,

Do you remember what happened,

Do you remember what time that was, approximately?

Do you wish to make a statement before I render my judgment?

Does he run with Potrero?

Don't be naive.

Don't worry. I got this covered.

Down at the strip club.

Dustin Maker, you chose to waive your rights to a jury trial.

Dustin, look at me.

Dustin...

Easy.

Enough to frame him for the murder, right?

Ernie...

Everybody loved Winston.

Everybody wins.

Everything was fine.

Everything you're not telling me, Alyssa.

Evidence of some mental health issues,

Excuse me.

Excuse me.

Family background, and your age.

Followed him in here.

For every corrupt cop you give up,

For the defense?

For the imposition of a sentence of death.

For the rest of their lives because of you.

For your daughter's personal information.

Four years?!

Gets the best of him.

Go ahead, Jimmy. Take as much as you want.

Go ahead.

God, I want to help you.

God, the balls on that guy.

Had something to do with that Sarah Tran murder.

He came to my apartment.

He can start doing business with them...

He knows the cops are eventually gonna trace the voicemail,

He might have to start making compromises.

He put up much of a fight?

He wants to, uh... he wants to come forward.

He was also violent.

He was involved in loan sharking and racketeering.

He would go down as Sarah Tran's killer.

He wouldn't be able to.

He'd know that the thing would crumble

He's from the neighborhood?

He's not going anywhere.

He's still fine, though.

He's, uh...

Hell, yeah.

Here's his wallet.

Hey, B., what have we got?

Hey, did you guys know Winston?

Hey, fresh body in Bayview.

Hey, guys.

Hey, Theo. Can we have a minute?

Hey.

Hey.

Hey.

Hey.

Hi, sweetie. It's mommy.

HILDY: Is that what The Union was for you...

HILDY: So, what, she just wouldn't give you the name?

HILDY: What about you?

Hitting grow houses, Union cops looking the other way,

Hmm.

Holy shit.

How are those theories working out for you now?

How did it get so bad?

How do you afford Warren Daniels on a cop's salary?

However, if he were to confess to the killing of Criolla,

Huh?

Huh.

Hypothetical bullshit means anything?

Hypothetically!

Hypothetically.

Hypothetically...

I also consider as an aggravating factor

I am trying to stay alive, okay?!

I believe we're in.

I can have that conversation all day.

I can't do the job second guessing myself,

I can't lie to you. I care about you.

I didn't see nothing.

I don't exactly know.

I don't give a shit about Sacramento.

I don't have insurance or money to pay for it.

I don't know anything about a fight.

I don't think he would make it his business to kill cops.

I don't understand where it all went wrong.

I don't want to help you?

I forgot it.

I got a cousin in Oakland.

I got scared.

I got something, sir.

I got to figure it out.

I got to get out of here.

I guess I'll let myself in.

I have considered the influence Mr. Rentman had

I I... just as... as class secretary,

I I'm interested, yeah.

I just feel like we're surrounded by corruption

I just want to make sure

I know you got a stake in this, all right? We all do.

I like what I like.

I mean, was Walt having second thoughts about The Union?

I need to know everything you know, Knubbins.

I need to know who you were gonna deliver that package to.

I owe it to the girls.

I raised him since he was 2.

I remember you.

I saw the fight at Winston's party.

I saw the safe at your apartment.

I spent way too many years being powerless in this job.

I still can't believe that you came.

I swear to God, it makes my skin crawl

I think I need to go to the hospital.

I told everybody you were a good cop and a good man.

I told him no, but he wanted to.

I understand, thanks.

I want to follow this thing to the end.

I was putting the candles in the cake,

I wish it didn't.

I would do everything I can.

I, uh, get your frustration.

I, uh, was getting the last of my stuff.

I'd hate to think

I'll call him back, Barbara.

I'm about to file charges on Knubbins.

I'm alone. Are you alone?

I'm going to be by your side the whole way.

I'm gonna get back to work.

I'm not gonna justify his murder,

I'm not talking about the past! I'm talking about last night.

If he had any beef with anyone?

If I could promise you that you would be safe,

If she does call, maybe you can just pass along the message.

If you remember anything, use it,

In a widespread police corruption ring.

In planning these crimes,

Incontrovertible evidence, which you don't have a shred of.

Inside and outside of this building.

Inspector English.

Inspectors. Lieutenant.

Instead of splitting it three ways.

Instead of taking money from the criminals,

Is for you to start thinking beyond San Francisco.

Is getting a strictly hypothetical answer.

Is he in the building?

Is it good for them?

Is sentenced to death.

Is that a real thing? What do you think?

Is working in a system where cops take care of cops.

It does in the eyes of the law.

It seems clear that the mitigating factors,

It would be with the understanding

It'd be a lot better if he got half the pie

It's dirty.

It's early.

It's his birthday, but he's getting the tea.

It's me!

It's the, uh, Bayview murder.

It's worth a shot. Come on.

Jamie Nelson, Your Honor. To my left is Aaron Mazur.

Jesus Christ.

Junior was turning out.

Just give us a couple of minutes.

Just like the kids on that school bus.

Just make room on your face, baby doll.

Just speaking hypothetically, but it seems to me

Just take a look at the sorry state of your department.

Just, uh, open the safe, Jimmy.

Kaleb and Walt... they're not connected,

Keefer found encrypted E mails on one of his hard drives.

Knowing that if Criolla got killed

Knowing what's right and what's wrong.

Knubbins reached out to a lawyer

Koto went full Dragnet.

Koto.

Least it ain't Bayview.

Let me see if I can find a room to put him in.

Let's go get him.

Let's say this head man did exist.

Lieutenant Koto's on the line.

Listen, we know you got to meet with the media

Lives on Kirkwood, right around the corner.

Lompoc would be nice.

Look, I get that you like this girl.

Look, I know what you people think about me.

Look, you give us your connect,

Looks like he went for a walk to get snacks

Looks like y'all want more than just a minute.

Makes you invisible.

MAN: Hey, hey, what happened, man?

Maybe the head man told these two cops to get rid of her.

Maybe Walt and Kaleb, uh,

Meet the guidelines

Michael Criolla was a bad man, a dirty cop.

Mm hmm.

Mm.

Molk, are you kidding right now?

Molk, Molk, Molk, what did you have in mind?

Molk, we don't know what this girl is into, all right?

MOLK: No, I had to convince her to trust me.

Mr. Maker,

Mr. Maker, you are ordered

Murder one.

My client admits to nothing.

My concern is for the people

My hand swells up to like twice its size,

Navarro, go to the strip club.

Never mind. Something happened, okay?

No idea what it was about.

No, I'm having a party.

No, Mr. Garrett, I'm... I'm not asking

No, not really.

No, not really. Uh, a couple witnesses

No, Your Honor.

No.

No.

Nobody can really promise that.

Not at this time.

Not interested.

Not on her own, okay?

Not the buffoon who left them

Not you.

Now that his legal issue has been resolved.

Now the head man's scared

Now, the M.E. figures out that Kaleb's suicide is staged.

O Okay, okay, fine.

O Once we clear her of that, then what?

Of being elected D.A. of San Francisco.

Of course it is.

Of course you were just dancing. Here, why don't you take this?

Oh, boy.

Oh, boy.

Oh, boy. Yes. Hell of a day.

Oh, come on. I mean, isn't that what your brother thought about Torres? Come on!

Oh, so what, you're giving me your number now?

Oh.

Oh.

Oh.

Oh. Hey, Terry.

Okay, cool.

Okay, good. [sighs]

Okay, okay.

Okay, she wouldn't have just left, Terry,

Okay, so then... so then Walt's, uh, conscience

Okay, thank you.

Okay, well, um...

Okay, yeah, thanks.

Okay, yes, in retrospect, I made a mistake leaving her alone,

Okay, you know what? Then I I can't help you.

Okay, you want to know what happened?

Okay.

Okay.

Okay. I'm gonna go speak to Knubbins.

Okay. Thank you.

Okay. Uh...

Okay. Who was involved?

Okay. You've teed me up.

On every inch of your client's life.

Ooh.

Or if you decide to, uh, help for once.

Or in this hypothetical scenario,

Ordered Kaleb Peat to kill Walt?

Our offer is on the table for...

Ow! What did you say?

Part of my job was feeding the snake.

People are dead because of it.

People call him R.C.

People like you go unchecked and run rampant.

People who will now be having nightmares

Please rise.

Power, chance to be the head man?

Promise me you're alone.

Pursuant to the defendant's decision

Really, seriously?

Right, right.

Right.

Run a corruption ring.

Save your breath.

Saw a black escalade leaving the scene.

Say you got this stripper,

See if you can find any video. The gas station might have something.

See if you can identify any of the girls

See you in a minute.

She better produce.

She could have been involved in Kaleb's murder,

She has information for the class reunion.

She says, Oh, you don't need to go to the hospital.

She starts feeling, uh, entitled to a piece of the action.

She's been playing him up until now.

Siletti likes it.

Sitting right there at the grocery store

So he orders one of his captains, Criolla...

So he plants Sarah Tran's murder weapon at Criolla's house...

So I don't know.

So I gave him $10.

So our suggestion to you... and just planting a seed here...

So the regular twin... she says, Hold on.

So then he creates a war between them...

So what do you think we're talking about here?

So Winston jumps up, says he'll get some.

So you are making an offer to me?

So you show up at my place, all fake romantic.

So you want information,

So, I hear you're, uh, taking a leave.

So, then, theoretically, this head man could have, uh,

So... so you haven't heard from her at all recently?

Some... something happened.

Someone got to her, I promise.

Stand over there, please.

Stunning.

Suger ain't my boss no more.

Take a look at your own family.

Take the deal, Mario.

Taking a piece of the profit.

TARIK: Inspectors...

Tell me... tell me what happened, please?

Tell your boss to come see me

Telling him that she, uh... she ran off.

Tenea Cascade was dismembered

TERRY: Bruja Blanca.

TERRY: God damn you. I looked up to you.

Thank you both.

Thank you for your support.

Thank you.

Thanks for the warm welcome.

Thanks.

Thanks.

That case goes away.

That China white you bringing in.

That he did so because he felt he had no other choice,

That he feared his own life was in danger from this man.

That is... that's just like him.

That it was more than just Criolla.

That it's possible...

That Kaleb's gonna get caught and start talking.

That someone with his eye on a job in Sacramento

That the defendant, Dustin Maker,

That the manner in which you committed these crimes

That was the last time I saw him alive.

That you are part of something

That's cool.

That's right. Let the white cops fight for you. Punk ass!

That's so much bigger than you think.

That's why we need to talk about

The aggravating factors in this case

The department?

The emotional damages inflicted on the families of the victims

The fact that you have no prior criminal record,

The good news is

The government's finding of special circumstances,

The head man couldn't just walk away.

The head man orders Kaleb to kill Walt.

The matter at hand is the imposition of sentencing

The name is Rashad Carroll.

The Party's prepared to back you,

The psychic twin gets on the phone,

The real mistake that I made

The state of California vs. Dustin Maker.

The victim was inside a jail cell.

The whole neighborhood.

Then he'd have to find new ways

Then I am prepared to impose sentencing of the defendant.

Then I realized we didn't have no iced tea.

Then she fired me.

Theoretically, somebody needs to do something.

Theoretically.

There are entire criminal enterprises

There are twice as many people who lost someone they love,

There you are.

There's gonna be years of appeals,

Therefore, I have heard the arguments

Therefore... it is my judgment

These crimes were committed with multiple deadly weapons

Think Sacramento instead.

This better be good.

This head man is smart.

This is criminal case 0329215,

This is good for all of us.

This isn't over.

This kid that R.C. shot, Winston... totally innocent,

Three hours later... three hours later on a burner phone!

To be near either one of you right now.

To get the death penalty in a liberal stronghold like this...

To have your moment in the sun, so we'll make this quick.

To keep the thing operational.

To plead guilty to all counts of the indictment,

To poison the department from the inside.

To the best of my ability,

To what end?

Too many things that could go wrong,

Tran, Criolla.

Transport, distro... it's all gonna be legal.

Truth's a bitch, huh?

Uh, APB.

Uh, assuming you're interested.

Uh, bunch of books on meditation,

Uh, Rashad, R.C...

Uh, so, when the twins take off to Tahoe or whatever for a show,

Uh, we don't know anything

Uh, we heard there was a fight at Winston's party

Uh, we're gonna need warrants across the board... house, car.

Uh... wow.

Under oath and subject to cross examination,

Understand that your hypothetical question

Units at all the transportation hubs.

Until exhaustion of the procedures for appeal.

Uses his own gun.

Using cops as your soldiers.

Voluntary manslaughter, 7 to 10 years, parole after 4.

W What exactly is your relationship

Wait, hold on.

Walt Martin, Kaleb Peat, Sarah Tran...

Was he threatening to expose them? Or...

Was particularly cruel and heinous.

Was... was not realizing how close the threat was.

We believe you're the head man of The Union.

We got 24 corrupt cops going down because of him.

We handle everything, take the risk.

We have more than enough.

We I.D.'d him coming out of the Richmond apartments,

We just need to find her.

We may be looking at a murderer here,

We were just dancing.

We're all gonna share the wealth here, right?

We're executing warrants

We're formally charging you

We're gonna find her.

We're sorry for your loss.

We're talking about murder here,

We're, uh, waiting on the paperwork.

We've still got to do our jobs.

Well, everybody seems to let you down eventually...

Well, hypothetically, if the thing got too big...

Well, I, uh, hope you do.

Well, I'm getting out of that business.

Well, if y'all want to talk hypotheticals,

Well, let's say hypothetically that the head man

Well, much as I'm sure your client

Well, you solved the case, so... does it really matter?

What are all those years on the force telling you now?

What are you doing here?

What are you doing, R.C.?

What do we have, exactly?

What if Alyssa's the one pulling the strings?

What if there is no threat, Molky?

What if you had a partner to keep your hands clean?

What is it, Inspectors?

What is it?

What?

What?

When the Dustin Maker verdict came in?

While not insignificant,

Who are you, buddy?

Who doesn't want to go to Tahiti?

Who else was at the party?

Who?

Why did you disappear?

Why diversification is important.

Why, then, would this head man kill cops?

Why?

Winston Farmer, 22 years old.

Winston was my boy. I want to help.

With a clean slate and no fear of your past...

With a gaggle of white collar criminals,

With a garrote around her neck?

With everything you've seen, been through?

With Junior McCormack?

With me, Ryan Bolton and Megan Trevall.

With the murder of Michael Criolla.

With ties to the Menendez Cartel,

Without defending himself,

Without people like me,

WOMAN: Kid in there?

Would enjoy playing volleyball

Would prefer to be known

Yeah

Yeah, the... the addresses don't match up,

Yeah, yeah. Go, go.

Yeah, you do.

Yeah?

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah. He's had a beef with Winston since ninth grade.

Yeah. He's, uh, at his desk.

Yeah. I'm coming home.

Yeah. I've still got stuff to do.

Yeah. Molk's just got his head up his ass.

Yeah. Y Yes!

Yes. It's a good day.

Yoga DVDs, prescription for Ativan.

You already got a confession.

You are.

You at the party last night?

You better watch your mouth, old man.

You can start with the cash

You get half the profit.

You go ahead.

You gonna be here much longer?

You got a place you can go?

You got to tell me what the hell is going on.

You have become a hero to the Conservative Party.

You interested now?

You just blew any chance you had

You just put Dustin Maker to death,

You kept in the floor of that apartment on Page.

You know you're gonna have to lay low, right?

You know, in a year or two, weed's gonna be just like gum,

You know, um, I'm gonna get my shit together...

You mean no evidence whatsoever.

You need to tell me

You okay?

You really don't want to work Ingleside, huh?

You remember where you were

You said that you were going to make a deal for me.

You said you didn't care about my past.

You seem to think that my client is somehow involved

You stay out of trouble.

You take me out to dinner. You liquor me up.

You think she's playing him, huh?

You two are up.

You were supposed to pick up a package at Marina Green,

You... I need you at your desk. You are way too close to this.

You'd know how he operates, right, uh...

You're a good cop.

You're a good kid.

You're gonna be fine.

You're quiet.

You're running for election somewhere?

You've been running a criminal enterprise

Your client just confessed to killing five people.

Your recent victory has gone to your head, Mario.

Your snake just bit me.

15 more minutes.

20 dirty cops, 30?

30 minutes.

[chuckles] Get him out of here.

[clears throat] Mario Siletti, Your Honor.

[device beeps] Inspector.

[door slams] [sighs]

[engine turns over] I hear you.

[groans] MAN: Hey.

[groans] You all right?

[laughs] I do.

[sighs] Is it true what they're saying...

Do you? Mm hmm. Pancake breakfast.

Gentlemen, please. Appreciate it.

Get him up. All right, stand up.

Hell, no. What about them?

Hey. Hey.

I want immunity. Okay.

I'll be happy to sit there. I'm sorry. What was that?

It's not? No.

KNUBBINS: Just do the best you can. [knock at door]

Lieutenant, I... That's... that's it.

MAN: Beer? ♪ Dive down deeper still ♪

Mm hmm. You remember me, too, right?

Molky... I mean, in point of fact,

nephew. My sister's son.

Okay. Why didn't you call me? I just texted you.

Ooh! [Hildy groans, chuckles]

Really? You're gonna go there? [indistinct shouting]

Seriously? Bayview?

So... So he kills him

Take it easy, buddy. Piece of shit.

Thanks. Thank you.

There's a situation. [sighs]

Uh, we'll leave you to it. Thanks.

WAITER: For you, ma'am. I need to know...

Why would she change? Yeah.

Winston was your... SHERRI: Nephew.

Yeah, sure. Thanks.

Yeah, yeah. [laughs]

Yes, I made the deal, yes. Okay, okay. [sighs]

You two gonna watch? For what?

...i have an obligation to do my job

...if there were too many mouths to be fed,

...to leave a voice message for Sarah Tran's husband,

'cause she was getting psychic on me on the phone.

'Cause we need you here.

[Alyssa laughs] So, um...

[birds chirping]

[Borns' 10,000 Emerald Pools plays]

[both chuckle]

[camera shutters clicking]

[cellphone buzzes]

[cellphone buzzes]

[chuckles]

[chuckles]

[chuckles]

[chuckles]

[chuckles]

[chuckles] Big day, Mario.

[clears throat]

[clears throat]

[computer beeps]

[door closes]

[door closes]

[elevator bell dings]

[engine turns over]

[Hildy scoffs]

[hip hop music plays]

[indistinct conversations]

[indistinct conversations]

[indistinct conversations]

[indistinct conversations]

[indistinct conversations]

[inhales deeply]

[keypad beeping]

[knock on door]

[laughing]

[laughing] I was like...

[laughs] And, then, suddenly,
