:26:01
Listen, you son of a bitch.
You're a nice boy, with a lot going for you.
:26:05
We got 7,000 felony indictments
in the Bronx every year.
:26:09
We got room for 650 trials.
Yours isn't one of them.
:26:12
I go to trial.
:26:13
You go sit down.
:26:15
And you'll take whatever plea bargain
we give you.
:26:19
You'll kiss my ass and thank me
that I didn't put you away for 25 years.
:26:23
That's what you'd get if this case goes
to trial. Now get out of my face.
:26:37
What'd he do?
:26:39
Robbed and raped a 70-year-old lady
and put her in a garbage can.
:26:44
Jesus Christ.
:26:46
Welcome to the South Bronx.
:26:49
People versus Harold Williams.
:26:52
Indictment number 294721.
:26:57
This case was dismissed three weeks ago.
:27:00
Go get 'em, tiger.
:27:02
Why is this case here?
:27:06
May I approach the bench, Your Honor?
:27:09
Who the hell are you?
:27:13
Assistant District Attorney Kramer.
:27:15
Mr. Kramer, you are new here.
:27:18
Let me explain something to you.
:27:21
This case is what we call a piece of shit.
:27:24
Which, loosely translated,
means you don't have any evidence.
:27:30
Except that District Attorney Weiss
has instructed me to show you--
:27:34
I know who the District Attorney is,
Mr. Kramer.
:27:38
The only reason Mr. Weiss is interested
in this case...
:27:42
...is because Mr. Williams over there...
:27:44
...is a white man who lives
in a nice big house in Riverdale.
:27:50
I'm not following you.
:27:51
Because it's an election year.
:27:54
Ninety-nine percent of those you shovel
through this court are black...
:27:57
...and the other ninety-nine percent
don't speak English.
