[00:08]	There is nothing more cruel than having
[00:11]	the most beautiful woman in New York
[00:12]	sitting at one of your tables,
[00:14]	and not being able to sit down and eat with her.
[00:17]	Well, don’t let me keep you.
[00:19]	Ha ha.
[00:25]	Dinner?
[00:27]	Absurd, divine.
[00:29]	Did you ask Chef Johnny to do that?
[00:32]	– Do what? – Make the agnolotti.
[00:34]	From our wedding.
[00:35]	It was so good, I got a little teary.
[00:38]	Took me right back to that night.
[00:40]	That perfect night.
[00:43]	Thank Chef for me?
[00:45]	I got a better idea.
[00:47]	– I need three bluefins fired, now. – Yes, Chef!
[00:50]	Looking good;
[00:51]	– Where are we at on that sauce? – Working, Chef!
[00:53]	– Danny, where are we at on that sauce? – Working, Chef.
[00:55]	All right. Looking good, Tom.
[00:57]	Johnny.
[01:00]	You guys good?
[01:01]	We got about 300 more on the books before 1000.
[01:04]	We’re rocking and rolling, jamming it out.
[01:06]	I just wanted to say thank you for such a beautiful dinner.
[01:09]	I don’t know how you had the time to make that pasta
[01:12]	with all this going on.
[01:14]	You kidding? I love making that dish.
[01:17]	I don’t want to keep you.
[01:18]	I just wanted to say how appreciative I am.
[01:20]	My pleasure.
[01:22]	Ooh, that smells good! Let’s keep going!
[01:25]	You sure you don’t want dessert?
[01:27]	A nightcap, maybe.
[01:28]	If I consume anything else, I will quite literally explode.
[01:31]	I’m in desperate need of an elastic waistband
[01:33]	and the couch.
[01:39]	See you at home.
[01:40]	How’d I get so lucky?
[01:42]	Must’ve done something right?
[01:46]	I love you. I love you, too.
[01:54]	Everything all right?
[02:33]	Babe.
[02:34]	Hey, babe.
[02:36]	Happy Sunday.
[02:38]	It’s after 1100 in the morning; Why didn’t you wake me up
[02:40]	and kiss me when you got home last night?
[02:43]	I just couldn’t.
[02:45]	I couldn’t do it; You were too adorable.
[02:47]	All curled up around your pillow like a little koala.
[02:51]	Wait.
[02:52]	Do koalas drool?
[02:54]	You have to wake me up and kiss me.
[02:57]	Drool or no drool, cute or not cute.
[03:00]	We had a deal.
[03:02]	Aye, aye, Captain Morgan.
[03:05]	I won’t let it happen again.
[03:08]	Mea culpa. Mea culpa.
[03:20]	Is that the door?
[03:26]	Is this the Valerian residence?
[03:28]	We’re looking for a Mr. Greg Valerian.
[03:30]	W-Would you mind telling me just what this is about?
[03:33]	Does Mr. Valerian live here? We need to speak with him.
[03:37]	Greg? Is everything all right?
[03:40]	– What’s going…? – Greg Valerian?
[03:43]	Yes, why?
[03:45]	You’re the owner of the Briarcrest Room restaurant?
[03:48]	I am. Is everything all right?
[03:50]	We’d like you to come down to the station with us, sir.
[03:52]	There’s been a fire.
[03:53]	A fire? When?
[04:08]	Happy Sunday.
[04:10]	– Hi. How did you…? – Benny called me.
[04:13]	Told me about the fire, said it was turning into
[04:15]	an all-day event.
[04:17]	What’s the latest?
[04:19]	I don’t know.
[04:20]	It seems like Greg’s been back there
[04:22]	with the detectives for hours.
[04:25]	Last I heard, the fire was out,
[04:27]	and the fire inspectors were going through the place.
[04:29]	Apparently, there’s not much left.
[04:32]	It was Greg’s first restaurant, his whole…
[04:36]	What?
[04:37]	What-what is it? What’s happened?
[04:40]	They found a body.
[04:42]	The night janitor was in the restaurant
[04:44]	when the fire broke out.
[04:47]	He’s dead.
[04:48]	God.
[04:50]	– That’s awful. I have to see Greg… – No, no, no.
[04:52]	You can’t do that right now, Marissa.
[04:53]	What? Why not?
[04:55]	Greg’s been arrested.
[04:59]	He’s being booked at the moment.
[05:02]	You’ll be able to see him as soon as we post bail.
[05:04]	What’s the charge?
[05:07]	Involuntary manslaughter.
[05:10]	That’s… that’s…
[05:12]	15 years.
[05:22]	I don’t know if you have a criminal attorney or not,
[05:24]	but if you do, please let them know that.
[05:28]	TAC would like to offer our services.
[05:32]	And if you don’t have an attorney,
[05:33]	I stand ready to represent you, Greg.
[05:36]	No, I don’t have a criminal attorney.
[05:45]	Thank you. Thank you all.
[05:49]	Tell us about the man who died.
[05:52]	He was a really nice man.
[05:57]	Didn’t speak a lot of English.
[05:59]	Loved to show pictures of his…
[06:04]	grandkids.
[06:07]	His poor wife. I have to, I have to talk to her.
[06:10]	Pay my respects.
[06:11]	As your attorney, I would strongly advise against that.
[06:15]	Even offering condolences can be spun
[06:18]	by the prosecutor as an admission of guilt.
[06:21]	But that’s-that’s crazy.
[06:22]	– I have to do something. – Hey…
[06:23]	Pay for the,
[06:25]	funeral, set up some kind of fund for the family.
[06:28]	– Something. – I can do all of those things.
[06:31]	I can make arrangements through TAC.
[06:37]	All right, well, let’s talk about
[06:39]	the fire inspector’s report for a second.
[06:40]	He’s saying that a grease buildup in the exhaust ducts
[06:43]	above the kitchen caught fire,
[06:44]	creating an enormous heat in the duct system.
[06:46]	And when the flames grew powerful enough,
[06:50]	apparently they burst through a loose vent…
[06:54]	and came in contact with improperly stored
[06:56]	cleaning materials, which caused an explosion.
[07:00]	That sounds like bad luck.
[07:02]	An accident, not a crime.
[07:04]	Well, you’re the only one who’s gonna see it
[07:05]	that way, I’m afraid.
[07:07]	The first thing they teach you
[07:09]	when you go to work in a restaurant kitchen
[07:11]	is that two out of three restaurant fires
[07:13]	are caused by grease buildup.
[07:15]	There’s even a law.
[07:17]	In New York, you have to have your exhaust systems
[07:19]	professionally cleaned and inspected
[07:21]	every three months, which I do.
[07:24]	Those ducts were clean, like, seven weeks ago.
[07:28]	The report indicates at least five months worth
[07:31]	of buildup would have been required to start that fire.
[07:34]	Well, that’s-that’s impossible.
[07:35]	That must be some mistake.
[07:37]	Those ducts were cleaned and inspected.
[07:39]	We’ll look into it, but, Greg,
[07:42]	that’s not your only problem.
[07:43]	See, the prosecution is going to say that you
[07:45]	repeatedly disregarded city and state regulations.
[07:49]	They’re gonna point to
[07:51]	a lack of oversight and lax management.
[07:53]	What are they talking about?
[07:55]	The Briarcrest Room was served with a fire code violation
[07:59]	six months ago and an OSHA citation
[08:01]	just 12 weeks ago.
[08:04]	Well, the fire code violation was nothing.
[08:07]	One of the managers added a few extra tables
[08:09]	over a holiday weekend.
[08:11]	And the OSHA citation?
[08:13]	Some of the guys got a little lazy with the cleaning supplies.
[08:16]	Not storing them properly.
[08:18]	As soon as I found out,
[08:20]	I made the whole staff do safety training,
[08:22]	and I beefed up the closing procedures.
[08:25]	It never happened again.
[08:27]	Till last night.
[08:32]	What’s your tummy tell you?
[08:34]	Not much. Not yet.
[08:36]	Same here.
[08:38]	Not that it matters.
[08:39]	I mean, at the end of the day, we’re in it for Marissa.
[08:43]	Whether he’s guilty or not, the job’s the same.
[08:46]	We need to convince a jury that this fire
[08:48]	was not foreseeable, not his fault.
[08:51]	Good luck to us.
[08:56]	What if we’re wrong?
[08:58]	What if it’s exactly what he says it is?
[09:01]	A collision of unfortunate miscalculations.
[09:05]	A perfect storm.
[09:07]	Like some kind of gigantic systems failure?
[09:10]	A fluke rather than a pattern of behavior.
[09:13]	So, what kind of jurors are we looking for?
[09:16]	Fellow business owners who will sympathize?
[09:19]	People who understand complex systems?
[09:21]	Post hoc, ergo, propter hoc.
[09:26]	Post hoc, ergo, propter hoc?
[09:28]	After this, therefore, because of this.
[09:31]	That’s the prosecution’s theory.
[09:33]	The fire and JC’s subsequent death
[09:35]	happened after a series of negligent behaviors.
[09:37]	The fire code violation,
[09:39]	the OSHA citation, the grease buildup.
[09:41]	I would argue the same thing.
[09:43]	But post hoc is actually a logical fallacy.
[09:46]	It basically means that correlation equals causation,
[09:49]	which it doesn’t.
[09:50]	Just because there’s a relationship
[09:52]	between two events doesn’t mean one event caused the other.
[09:55]	So, to answer your question,
[09:57]	we need people who understand that.
[09:59]	We need people who see that correlation
[10:02]	doesn’t always equal causation.
[10:03]	And how do I go about that?
[10:07]	Good morning.
[10:08]	So it says here on your jury questionnaire
[10:11]	that you played semipro football.
[10:12]	Up until about a year ago.
[10:14]	You drink a lot of sports drinks?
[10:16]	– Sure. Got to stay hydrated. – What if I told you
[10:19]	that there is a direct correlation
[10:20]	between the number of sports drinks a person consumes
[10:23]	and the increased likelihood
[10:25]	of that person getting a knee injury?
[10:27]	I would say your logic is faulty,
[10:30]	but your conclusion is sound.
[10:32]	– How so? – I mean,
[10:33]	it makes sense.
[10:35]	People who drink a lot of sports drinks
[10:36]	are more likely to be athletes.
[10:38]	Athletes are more likely to get injured.
[10:40]	But sports drinks don’t cause knee injuries.
[10:46]	This juror is acceptable to the defense, Your Honor.
[10:49]	Mr. Watson. You are a high school history teacher.
[10:53]	– That’s correct. – So let me ask you a question.
[10:55]	Are you aware that in World War I,
[10:58]	the British wore steel helmets for the first time?
[11:00]	I’m vaguely aware of that.
[11:02]	So would it surprise you to hear that the rate of head injuries
[11:06]	went up, not down?
[11:09]	Do you have any explanation for that?
[11:11]	I can offer an educated guess.
[11:14]	I mean, it makes sense, having all that metal
[11:16]	clanking around on your head,
[11:17]	it’s bound to bang you up.
[11:19]	Interesting theory.
[11:20]	But wrong. The steel helmets actually kept more men alive
[11:23]	that otherwise would have died.
[11:25]	True, they had head injuries, but at least
[11:27]	they were still breathing.
[11:29]	Taylor, give me a reason to keep this guy.
[11:31]	I don’t think there is one.
[11:36]	We’d like to thank and excuse this juror, Your Honor.
[11:38]	Then the defense is out of challenges.
[11:41]	Is this panel acceptable to the prosecution?
[11:44]	It is, Your Honor.
[11:45]	Then we have our jury.
[11:48]	I was hoping for a stronger start, Bull.
[11:51]	By my count, at least eight of these jurors
[11:52]	are susceptible to logical fallacies.
[11:54]	That means a third aren’t.
[11:56]	That’s not bad. We can work with a third.
[12:11]	– Got a sec? – Sorry.
[12:13]	You scared me. Um, you heading home?
[12:16]	Yeah, in a minute.
[12:18]	While you were in court, Taylor and I went through
[12:20]	all the paperwork for all of Greg’s restaurants,
[12:23]	and we found something I wanted you to see.
[12:28]	What exactly am I looking at?
[12:31]	Did you know that Greg only had six weeks
[12:33]	to pay his investors $2 million
[12:36]	or he’d lose the controlling stake in his restaurant group?
[12:46]	Mind if I join?
[12:53]	I think my husband owes millions of dollars
[12:55]	he’s never told me about.
[13:04]	You know,
[13:06]	debt’s a funny word.
[13:10]	One man’s debt is another man’s working capital.
[13:12]	You know what I mean?
[13:14]	I just know what I read.
[13:16]	Danny showed me some promissory notes.
[13:17]	Apparently, he is two weeks away from losing everything.
[13:21]	If he doesn’t pay,
[13:23]	which the promissory note wouldn’t have shown you.
[13:28]	Are we having a conversation about Greg,
[13:30]	or the last great love of your life, Kyle?
[13:34]	I sure can pick them, can’t I?
[13:37]	Listen, I don’t mean to crash your pity party,
[13:39]	but I think you might be rushing to judgment here.
[13:43]	But why wouldn’t he tell me?
[13:46]	I have no idea.
[13:50]	Ask him.
[13:56]	Taxi!
[14:01]	He’s not Kyle.
[14:13]	Based on our investigation,
[14:14]	this fire and the subsequent explosion
[14:16]	were the result of a grease buildup, a faulty vent
[14:19]	and the haphazard storage of cleaning products and solvents.
[14:23]	Correct me if I’m wrong, Fire Marshal Anderson,
[14:25]	but isn’t all of that preventable?
[14:27]	Yes. The City of New York has rules and regulations
[14:30]	to prevent incidents like this from happening.
[14:32]	So is it fair to say that JC Morales’s death
[14:35]	is a direct result of the defendant
[14:37]	disregarding those regulations?
[14:39]	You could say that, yes.
[14:41]	Thank you. No further questions.
[14:46]	Good morning,
[14:47]	Fire Marshal Anderson.
[14:49]	Really appreciate your testimony.
[14:50]	The thing is…
[14:52]	I’ve been through your report a dozen times,
[14:55]	and there’s something that’s been bothering me.
[14:58]	I see no mention of what actually ignited the grease
[15:01]	and started the fire in the first place.
[15:04]	Well, given the severity
[15:06]	of the damage, that’s impossible to determine.
[15:08]	Yes, but given your 35 years of experience,
[15:11]	I imagine you have a theory.
[15:12]	Objection. Calls for speculation.
[15:14]	A professional opinion
[15:16]	is not the same as speculation, Ms. Drake.
[15:18]	You may answer the question.
[15:21]	Most likely, some kind of particulate matter got in
[15:24]	through the vent and heated over time to the point of ignition.
[15:28]	That’s interesting.
[15:30]	Now, when you say “particulate matter,”
[15:34]	you’re basically saying anything that burns and is small enough
[15:37]	to have gotten up into that vent, right?
[15:41]	I mean, it could be a small piece of paper,
[15:43]	an onion skin, the lint from somebody’s pocket,
[15:47]	a cigarette ash?
[15:49]	It’s certainly possible, though there’s no evidence to suggest
[15:52]	any of those items were involved.
[15:54]	What if I told you that the deceased Mr. Morales
[15:58]	had a history of smoking inside the restaurant after hours?
[16:02]	Objection. No foundation.
[16:04]	Your Honor, we’d like to enter into evidence
[16:06]	a report from JC Morales’s personnel file.
[16:10]	An opening manager had
[16:12]	written him up after finding cigarette butts he had left
[16:15]	when cleaning the night before.
[16:20]	So…
[16:23]	if Mr. Morales had been smoking inside
[16:26]	the night of the fire,
[16:28]	wouldn’t you say it would’ve
[16:30]	been possible for him to have inadvertently started the fire?
[16:34]	Yes. If that was the case, it’s certainly possible
[16:37]	he may have started the ignition.
[16:39]	Thank you.
[16:42]	No further questions, Your Honor.
[16:46]	Good news for our team.
[16:47]	Starting to see a little burst of green.
[16:50]	We’d like to redirect, Your Honor.
[16:52]	Go ahead.
[16:54]	So, Fire Marshal Anderson,
[16:57]	regardless if the fire was ignited by a cigarette
[16:59]	or any number of other things
[17:00]	that could have gotten through that faulty vent,
[17:02]	were it not for the grease buildup
[17:04]	and the improperly stored chemicals,
[17:05]	wouldn’t Mr. Morales still be alive?
[17:09]	No accelerant, no explosion.
[17:11]	So yes, I believe he would.
[17:15]	Thank you. No further questions.
[17:26]	You Michael Davis?
[17:28]	Cesar Caputo. Who wants to know?
[17:31]	My name is Danny James.
[17:32]	I’m working on Greg Valerian’s defense team.
[17:34]	Investigating the Briarcrest Room fire?
[17:37]	I have an inspection report here saying
[17:40]	that the restaurant’s exhaust vents were cleaned
[17:41]	by this company two months ago.
[17:43]	I’m looking for the guy that signed it, Michael Davis.
[17:45]	Yeah, well…
[17:47]	if you find him, tell him I want my tools back.
[17:49]	– He’s not here? – He’s not here. He’s not anywhere.
[17:52]	Hey.
[17:55]	This is your company, right, Mr. Caputo?
[17:57]	Can you explain to me how there could have been
[17:59]	five months of grease in those vents,
[18:01]	if this guy Davis did what he said he did?
[18:03]	Well, I think you just answered your own question, didn’t you?
[18:07]	Look, 80% of our guys
[18:09]	have been here since they graduated high school.
[18:11]	They’re grateful for the job,
[18:13]	and they take the responsibility seriously.
[18:16]	But the other 20? It’s like a revolving door.
[18:20]	Nobody dreams of crawling through
[18:22]	greasy ducts for a living,
[18:24]	spending all day breathing in solvents.
[18:27]	It doesn’t matter how much you pay them.
[18:29]	‘Cause sometimes they can make more for not doing the job.
[18:34]	All right? Guy owns a restaurant,
[18:35]	he needs the kitchen that morning for a catering job,
[18:38]	or simply can’t be bothered
[18:40]	having somebody that’ll let us in.
[18:41]	Now, mind you, I have no idea what happened.
[18:44]	Davis is long gone, I can’t find him.
[18:47]	For all I know, he did what he was supposed to do
[18:50]	and that’s why he signed the paper.
[18:53]	And by the way,
[18:55]	you call me into court, that’s what I’m gonna say.
[18:59]	He claims he doesn’t know anything.
[19:01]	But he did strongly imply
[19:03]	that if those ducts weren’t clean,
[19:04]	it’s because Greg didn’t want them cleaned.
[19:08]	Sorry I’m late.
[19:11]	Didn’t realize we were having a meeting.
[19:14]	Nothing important. Just the usual postmortem.
[19:18]	You really don’t need to be here.
[19:21]	In fact, aren’t there other places,
[19:24]	other people, it would make more sense for you
[19:28]	to be spending time with?
[19:30]	I think that’s for me to decide.
[19:37]	Don’t forget, I actually have two dogs in this fight.
[19:40]	My husband, and TAC.
[19:43]	I may lose one. I am not gonna lose both.
[19:48]	Now why wouldn’t Greg want those ducts cleaned?
[19:51]	Nobody knows anything.
[19:53]	These are just theories. Marissa…
[19:55]	I might know.
[19:59]	Greg’s fire insurance policy.
[20:03]	It would have given him more than enough to cover his debts.
[20:07]	Marissa, we all know how hard this is for you.
[20:11]	How tempting it is to get ahead of it,
[20:14]	assume the worst.
[20:17]	That way, the world won’t let you down.
[20:19]	That way, the ones you love won’t wound you
[20:23]	because you’ve already wounded yourself,
[20:24]	and there’s no blood left to bleed.
[20:29]	But the simple truth is,
[20:33]	there is absolutely no evidence that this fire was intentional.
[20:36]	Not even the prosecutor is claiming it was arson.
[20:41]	Okay. You’re right.
[20:44]	But there’s something else.
[20:49]	Something else I haven’t shared with any of you.
[20:52]	Okay.
[20:57]	Greg and I have this thing.
[20:59]	It’s a ritual.
[21:00]	Sort of a promise we made to each other.
[21:03]	If I’m asleep when he gets home from work,
[21:06]	he wakes me up and kisses me.
[21:08]	And if he’s asleep when I get home…
[21:09]	you get the idea.
[21:11]	And you’re mentioning it because…?
[21:13]	Because we’ve been doing it every night
[21:14]	since we got back together.
[21:16]	Every night, one of us gets home later than the other.
[21:19]	Every night, except the night of the fire.
[21:24]	The night of the fire, he didn’t wake me up.
[21:28]	It’s the only time
[21:29]	and I cannot help but wonder,
[21:31]	is it because he wasn’t at home when he should’ve been?
[21:35]	And if he wasn’t, where was he?
[21:42]	Thanks, Benny.
[21:43]	Danny.
[21:46]	See you in court.
[21:49]	You know where to find me.
[21:55]	I apologize if I seem dramatic.
[21:58]	Just…
[22:00]	a man lost his life.
[22:04]	I’m hoping it’s a terrible accident,
[22:06]	but it’s possible it wasn’t.
[22:11]	And I need to know.
[22:15]	I need to know who I married.
[22:23]	Want to share a cab?
[22:30]	Look, the fire science can be subjective.
[22:34]	There’s always room for interpretation.
[22:37]	I know someone, an arson expert with top-of-the-line equipment.
[22:42]	Like me to give her a call?
[22:44]	Might put your mind at ease.
[22:46]	I wouldn’t mind having a second opinion.
[22:54]	I’m a terrible wife.
[22:59]	I should just trust, right?
[23:06]	You’re asking the Helen Keller of marriage
[23:08]	whether or not he likes the color of your dress.
[23:16]	You are who you are.
[23:19]	You can only do what you can do.
[23:23]	You can only be who you can be.
[23:27]	Dr. Bull, Chef Hansen.
[23:30]	Just finished a little witness prep
[23:31]	and I believe he’s good to go.
[23:33]	Thanks for doing this, Chef.
[23:34]	Happy to. Greg’s my boy. Anything I can do to help.
[23:37]	Well, not much to it.
[23:38]	Just need you to testify to Greg’s safety policies
[23:41]	and character as a business owner.
[23:42]	No problem.
[23:44]	Do you think I have a little time before you guys need me?
[23:46]	I’d love to go outside and maybe walk a mile or so.
[23:49]	Trying to get my steps in.
[23:50]	The girlfriend worries about my love affair
[23:52]	with butter and sugar and cream. Checks the count every night.
[23:55]	Yeah. No girlfriend,
[23:58]	but, I count steps now, too.
[24:01]	Steps are gonna have to wait. Benny says it’s go time.
[24:03]	Let’s do it.
[24:05]	Now the prosecution has been trying to paint Greg
[24:07]	as a negligent boss.
[24:10]	A guy who doesn’t like to follow the rules.
[24:12]	Now, you worked for him for eight years.
[24:15]	Now what’s your impression of him?
[24:17]	My impression?
[24:20]	The Briarcrest Room is the best place I’ve ever worked.
[24:23]	Probably the best place I ever will work.
[24:27]	Why is that?
[24:30]	A lot of restaurant owners in this city
[24:31]	only care about status and their bottom line.
[24:34]	Greg is not that guy.
[24:36]	He understands the business.
[24:38]	He cares about his product and his customers.
[24:41]	He cares about his employees and their futures, their lives.
[24:44]	He made me business partner
[24:46]	after six years of working together.
[24:47]	Told me I was such a valuable member of the team,
[24:50]	he couldn’t bear the thought of me
[24:53]	not profiting from my hard work.
[24:55]	I mean, come on, that’s pretty special.
[24:59]	It is indeed.
[25:02]	No further questions, Your Honor.
[25:07]	Just one question for you, Chef Hansen.
[25:10]	If Greg Valerian was such an amazing boss
[25:13]	and you were so lucky to be there,
[25:16]	then why were you looking for another job?
[25:18]	Wait.
[25:19]	No, no, no, no, no. That’s not exactly true.
[25:22]	So you weren’t interviewing
[25:24]	with other investors and restaurants?
[25:25]	No.
[25:26]	Is that your sworn testimony under oath?
[25:30]	Okay, I had started to look around a little.
[25:33]	Sometimes you just got to change it up.
[25:35]	I’m sorry. I don’t understand.
[25:37]	A minute and a half ago,
[25:38]	you were talking about what a special place
[25:39]	the Briarcrest Room was and how grateful you were to your boss,
[25:42]	and now you’re saying you were looking to “change it up”?
[25:46]	Greg had gotten busy.
[25:48]	Building a new place in Brooklyn.
[25:51]	It was getting harder to get his attention,
[25:53]	to get the answers I needed
[25:54]	to keep the kitchen what it needed to be.
[25:56]	It sounds worse than it was.
[25:58]	You take some meetings. You do some interviews.
[26:01]	Doesn’t mean anything.
[26:02]	I beg to differ.
[26:04]	Now go back to where you said it was “hard to get his attention.”
[26:07]	Would you say that Greg had been neglecting his duties
[26:09]	– at the Briarcrest Room? – Objection!
[26:11]	I’ll withdraw. No further questions.
[26:17]	We’re starting to think
[26:18]	that the only way forward is to put you on the stand, Greg.
[26:22]	Let you speak for yourself.
[26:26]	You guys go ahead. I need a minute.
[26:35]	I just finished with the arson expert.
[26:37]	And?
[26:38]	She said the fire inspector’s methodology was sound,
[26:41]	but she reran the chemical samples through a system
[26:43]	using chromatography and spectrographic analysis,
[26:46]	something the FDNY didn’t have access to on this case.
[26:49]	That was quite a drumroll.
[26:51]	She found traces of gasoline.
[26:54]	Gasoline’s not commonly found
[26:56]	among restaurant cleaning products?
[26:58]	No, it is not. The fire was arson.
[27:05]	He moved out of state.
[27:11]	You talk to Marissa yet?
[27:13]	No, and I’m not going to and neither are you.
[27:18]	Dr. Bull, it was arson.
[27:21]	She has to know. We have to tell her.
[27:24]	I mean, this is her life.
[27:25]	She was the one who had misgivings in the first place.
[27:27]	I know it’s her life,
[27:29]	which is why no one is going to say anything
[27:31]	unless and until we have proof.
[27:33]	We have proof.
[27:35]	Proof the fire was arson, not that Greg did it.
[27:38]	If we tell Marissa
[27:39]	that her husband is criminally responsible
[27:41]	for the death of a man, her marriage is over.
[27:43]	That is a bell we cannot un-ring.
[27:47]	So…
[27:48]	before we go around broadcasting something we suspect,
[27:51]	we need to find out if our suspicions are true,
[27:54]	or, even better, if they’re not.
[29:00]	Direct is the easy part.
[29:01]	That’s when Benny will run you through a series of questions
[29:04]	about how you run your business.
[29:06]	Every chance you get,
[29:07]	stress why you love your restaurants,
[29:10]	and if you’re honest and open, the jury will feel that,
[29:14]	and they’ll be more inclined to believe what you say.
[29:16]	Simple as that?
[29:18]	It’s as simple as that.
[29:20]	Now, cross-examination is where we can run into trouble.
[29:24]	Pardon the interruption.
[29:26]	Greg.
[29:29]	You mind if I do the honors?
[29:33]	You want to prep Greg yourself?
[29:35]	Yeah, I just feel like keeping my hand in.
[29:37]	Don’t want to get rusty, and Greg’s kind of like family.
[29:41]	Whatever you say.
[29:45]	Thank you, Dr. Bull.
[29:46]	Taking the time.
[29:48]	– Jason.	– Jason.
[29:52]	So why didn’t you wake your wife with a kiss
[29:54]	when you came home on the night of the fire?
[30:01]	I really need to know.
[30:03]	Was it because you were later than usual or…?
[30:06]	From what I understand, you normally get home
[30:08]	between midnight and 100.
[30:10]	Of course, the fire was at 300.
[30:13]	I’m sorry, could you speak up? I’m having trouble hearing you.
[30:18]	This is like… practice, right?
[30:20]	You’re pretending to be the woman
[30:22]	from the district attorney’s office?
[30:25]	Right?
[30:27]	They’re just questions.
[30:30]	The answers shouldn’t change
[30:32]	no matter who’s doing the asking.
[30:36]	Did Marissa say something to you?
[30:38]	New subject, just curious. How much do you stand to gain
[30:41]	from the fire insurance policy on the restaurant?
[30:45]	What do you mean, gain? The restaurant’s gone.
[30:49]	JC is dead. No one gains anything.
[30:51]	Except for insurance money.
[30:54]	How much is it? How much do you get?
[30:57]	A lot.
[30:59]	But none of it’s mine. None of it’s liquid.
[31:02]	All that money is committed to rebuilding the restaurant.
[31:05]	Really? You weren’t planning on using it to repay investors
[31:10]	so you could keep control of the company?
[31:13]	That’s not how the contract is written.
[31:15]	I have to use the money to rebuild the restaurant.
[31:18]	The insurance company won’t give it to me otherwise.
[31:22]	Happy to show you the policy.
[31:25]	Excellent answer.
[31:27]	Now, what if someone said,
[31:29]	“Turns out it was actually arson”?
[31:33]	What was actually arson?
[31:35]	And who is “someone”?
[31:37]	I’m saying it.
[31:38]	I hired the best expert there is,
[31:41]	and she says it’s arson.
[31:42]	So what I need to know from you is
[31:45]	Were you in on it?
[31:46]	Are you the one that set the fire,
[31:48]	or did you just pay to make it happen?
[31:56]	Do you believe in redemption?
[32:01]	I would need to know about your transgressions first.
[32:06]	I am the reason my marriage didn’t work the first time.
[32:13]	My wife Marissa was away a lot,
[32:17]	and I felt that gave me permission
[32:18]	to feel sorry for myself.
[32:20]	And feeling sorry for yourself is no fun alone.
[32:26]	Getting her back
[32:28]	a second time…
[32:32]	is as close to a miracle as I am ever likely to experience.
[32:40]	The night you’re asking about,
[32:41]	I got home at the regular time, but I was exhausted.
[32:45]	Like, sleep-in-your-clothes exhausted.
[32:48]	And she looked so… content.
[32:52]	So… beautiful…
[32:57]	lying there, asleep.
[33:03]	So I thought, okay. We’ve gotten there.
[33:08]	I’m not gonna wake her up. I don’t have to.
[33:10]	She doesn’t need me to do that.
[33:12]	She knows I love her.
[33:15]	I can see it on her face.
[33:21]	Guess I was wrong.
[33:26]	Okay.
[33:29]	But did you set the fire?
[33:34]	My other transgressions,
[33:36]	my lifetime of transgressions
[33:39]	ceased to matter the day I broke ground on that restaurant.
[33:43]	I was determined, despite all the bad choices
[33:46]	I might have made in my past,
[33:47]	despite having always been told
[33:49]	that I would never amount to anything…
[33:51]	To build a beautiful thing,
[33:55]	an enchanted place where people could have magical experiences.
[33:59]	Where I would employ people and train people,
[34:04]	serve fabulous food and intoxicating drinks.
[34:07]	But the best part…
[34:12]	was after all the people had left,
[34:14]	after all the chairs were on the table.
[34:16]	I would sit there alone,
[34:19]	thinking…
[34:23]	look at what I did.
[34:25]	Look what I built.
[34:28]	None of this would exist
[34:31]	if it wasn’t for me.
[34:35]	I would no more put a match to that place
[34:37]	than I would betray my wife.
[34:39]	They are… my redemption.
[34:48]	They are my salvation.
[34:58]	Well, for what it’s worth,
[35:01]	I think you’ll make an excellent witness.
[35:06]	Now we just have to figure out who did set that fire.
[35:10]	Preferably within the next 18 hours.
[35:16]	I checked out the insurance policy,
[35:18]	and Greg was telling the truth.
[35:19]	He has no access to the payout.
[35:21]	It has to be spent to rebuild the restaurant.
[35:23]	And if for some reason they elect not to rebuild,
[35:25]	the only people who get any money at all
[35:27]	are the original investors,
[35:28]	and they only get enough to be made whole.
[35:30]	So, no one stood to profit from the fire?
[35:33]	Well, one person did.
[35:35]	Six years after the restaurant was opened,
[35:38]	Chef Hansen was made a partner.
[35:40]	Not because he invested any capital,
[35:42]	but as an inducement to keep him from ever leaving.
[35:44]	So, as it happens, he would be the only one
[35:47]	to walk away from this with fresh cash.
[35:49]	And he needs cash.
[35:51]	Hansen wasn’t looking for a new job.
[35:53]	He was looking for partners for his own restaurant.
[35:56]	He made an offer for a place in the Bowery.
[35:58]	He just needed money for the down payment.
[36:01]	Sounds like Hansen might be our arsonist.
[36:03]	Yeah. And if we’re gonna introduce arson in court,
[36:05]	we need something solid…
[36:06]	real proof that it wasn’t our client.
[36:07]	And we have to do it in the next…
[36:14]	You all right, boss?
[36:17]	Taylor, you have your laptop with you?
[36:21]	Great. We have work to do.
[36:23]	Chef Hansen…
[36:25]	thank you for agreeing
[36:27]	to take the stand one more time.
[36:29]	Happy to do it.
[36:30]	Just for the record, what time did you
[36:33]	close the restaurant on the night of the fire?
[36:35]	I think I locked up around 100 a.m.
[36:37]	And then what did you do?
[36:39]	Grabbed a drink with Kim, my sous chef.
[36:42]	At the Rosemead Pub, is that right?
[36:46]	Yes. That’s right.
[36:49]	And when did you leave the pub, would you say?
[36:51]	Objection! Your Honor, relevance?
[36:53]	As riveting as the minutia of Mr. Hansen’s evening is,
[36:57]	I don’t see what it has to do with the case.
[36:58]	Your Honor, I guarantee you will see the relevance
[37:00]	if you’ll allow me to continue.
[37:02]	Get to the point, Mr. Colón.
[37:04]	Quickly.
[37:05]	So what time did you leave the pub?
[37:08]	I hopped a cab home around 230, I think.
[37:13]	And you went straight home?
[37:15]	You didn’t stop anywhere first?
[37:17]	No. I was tired. I just went home.
[37:23]	Your Honor, we’d like to enter into evidence
[37:27]	the GPS data from Chef Hansen’s smartwatch
[37:31]	– on the night of the fire. – Objection!
[37:33]	The smartwatch app is open-source.
[37:37]	The A.D.A. had the same access to this information as we did.
[37:41]	I’ll allow it.
[37:42]	Thank you, Your Honor. Thank you.
[37:44]	Chef Hansen, were you wearing your smartwatch
[37:48]	on the night of the fire?
[37:50]	It certainly looks like you were.
[37:53]	It-it corroborates your testimony.
[37:56]	You-you left the restaurant at 100 a.m.,
[37:58]	then on to the Rosemead.
[38:00]	The only thing is… it doesn’t have you going straight home
[38:04]	after you left the bar.
[38:06]	Your smartwatch app has you going back
[38:09]	to the Briarcrest Room.
[38:10]	As a matter of fact, the GPS data has you
[38:13]	in the restaurant from 252 to 307 a.m.
[38:20]	Actually… I forgot my knife roll.
[38:25]	Keep my knives in it.
[38:27]	I’ve had it for 20 years. I had to go back and get it.
[38:30]	So, what, you just forgot about that when I asked you?
[38:35]	I mean… it wasn’t a big deal.
[38:40]	But on this night, there was a fire.
[38:43]	Right around the time your watch says
[38:45]	you went back to the restaurant.
[38:46]	You sure you didn’t start a fire
[38:49]	so that you could use your cut of the insurance money
[38:51]	to put a down payment on your own place?
[38:58]	Never mind. No further questions, Your Honor.
[39:06]	Man…
[39:15]	We the jury find the defendant, Greg Valerian,
[39:18]	not guilty.
[39:20]	My…
[39:30]	Thank you.
[39:32]	You’re welcome.
[39:41]	I am really, really happy.
[39:45]	Aren’t you really, really happy?
[39:49]	Honestly, I’m…
[39:51]	kind of confused.
[39:54]	You told your boss about our kiss thing?
[39:59]	You made an issue out of not getting a kiss that night?
[40:04]	Because you thought it meant
[40:05]	I must have been out late setting a fire.
[40:08]	No. Of course not.
[40:09]	I just…
[40:10]	You just. I know.
[40:12]	You just can’t help yourself.
[40:19]	You are the sum of your experiences,
[40:22]	as you love to remind me.
[40:24]	And so many of your experiences have been…
[40:29]	not great.
[40:30]	Your first experience with me… not great.
[40:35]	So I get it.
[40:38]	But I don’t know if I can accept it.
[40:44]	I wanted you beside me.
[40:47]	Behind me.
[40:50]	Believing in me.
[40:56]	Never really felt you were there.
[41:13]	Um…
[41:19]	I don’t disagree with anything you said.
[41:24]	I’m not proud of it.
[41:29]	I wanted to be there for you.
[41:34]	But I am who I am.
[41:38]	I can only do what I can do.
[41:43]	And I can only be who I can be.
[41:49]	Please give me time.
[41:52]	Please give me a chance to learn.
[42:02]	What was that?
[42:05]	I just wanted to let you know I was home.
[42:12]	Come on.
[42:13]	Let’s go to bed.
