[00:42] | Hello? | |
[00:46] | It’s just me, Consuelo. | |
[00:50] | Oh, Mr. Schreiber. | |
[00:57] | It was a beautiful service. | |
[00:59] | Ah, certainly was. | |
[01:00] | It should have been a wedding, not a funeral. | |
[01:03] | That’s nice of you to say. | |
[01:05] | She loved you so much. | |
[01:06] | I loved her, I… | |
[01:08] | I just wanted to look around one last time. | |
[01:11] | Of course. Of course. Take all the time you need. | |
[01:14] | The museum isn’t coming until tomorrow. | |
[01:18] | Do you still have any of that tea that I like? | |
[01:23] | You know I do. | |
[01:29] | The last ginger peach tea just for you. | |
[01:32] | Geoffrey? | Geoffrey? |
[01:42] | The New Amsterdam Museum of Fine Arts | |
[01:44] | has filed a claim of conversion against my client. | |
[01:47] | Claim of conversion? What’d you steal? | |
[01:50] | I didn’t steal anything. | |
[01:51] | It’s not stealing if it belongs to you. | |
[01:53] | It’s a portrait. | |
[01:55] | A portrait of Mr. Schreiber’s ex-wife. | |
[01:57] | It was painted by the artist Cole Trumaine. | |
[02:00] | Cole Trumaine. | |
[02:02] | That’s got to be worth a fortune. | |
[02:04] | It’s valued at $10 million. | |
[02:07] | Melanie’s will | |
[02:08] | states that all her artwork was to be donated to the museum. | |
[02:11] | Wait. Back up a second. | |
[02:13] | Your ex-wife? | |
[02:15] | We divorced 15 years ago. | |
[02:17] | Um, my business was… is… In Germany. | |
[02:22] | I was back and forth a lot. | |
[02:25] | Too much. | |
[02:27] | Her life was here, | |
[02:28] | and so was mine, but only half the time. | |
[02:33] | We reconnected about five years ago. | |
[02:35] | Started to fall in love again. | |
[02:38] | But then, uh… | |
[02:41] | cancer. | |
[02:43] | My condolences, Mr. Schreiber. | |
[02:47] | Well, | |
[02:49] | if she willed all of her artwork to the museum, | |
[02:52] | it would seem clear that the portrait | |
[02:54] | rightfully belongs to them, | |
[02:56] | but… I suppose if it were clear, you wouldn’t have called me. | |
[02:59] | The portrait belongs to me. | |
[03:01] | Melanie gave it to me before she passed away. | |
[03:04] | She wanted me to remember her at her happiest. | |
[03:07] | She wanted me | |
[03:09] | to keep that piece of her | |
[03:12] | with me. | |
[03:14] | That’s what she said. | |
[03:15] | But if she gave it to you, | |
[03:17] | why was it still hanging in her house? | |
[03:21] | I wanted it to stay in her home… | |
[03:23] | with her, till the end. | |
[03:27] | I think I was… | |
[03:31] | still hoping she’d… pull through. | |
[03:38] | And now I’m planning on | |
[03:39] | returning home to Germany full-time. | |
[03:42] | And I’m taking the portrait with me. | |
[03:45] | My concern is that jurors might construe this | |
[03:48] | as a case about money. | |
[03:49] | A greedy ex-husband who sees only the $10 million valuation. | |
[03:54] | I was hoping you’d help us select a jury, | |
[03:56] | develop a legal strategy. | |
[03:58] | I’m happy to help, happy to join the team, but… | |
[04:02] | would you mind if I tried something first? | |
[04:04] | Something that… might keep us out of court altogether? | |
[04:07] | I always believe the best solution | |
[04:09] | to any problem is where both sides | |
[04:11] | get most of what they want. | |
[04:12] | And you believe if we allow Mr. Schreiber | |
[04:15] | to fly off to Germany with our painting… | |
[04:17] | And sign a guarantee that upon his death | |
[04:19] | it would be returned to the museum. | |
[04:21] | We’ll be getting most of what we want? | |
[04:23] | Did I forget to mention that Mr. Schreiber | |
[04:25] | is also willing to pay the museum a handsome fee? | |
[04:28] | A rental charge, a donation… Call it whatever you want. | |
[04:32] | My client, the museum, appreciates the gesture, | |
[04:36] | but we really must decline, | |
[04:38] | enforce our rights under the law, | |
[04:40] | and insist that your client surrender the painting | |
[04:42] | or see us in court. | |
[04:43] | Mm. I’m not sure you understand. | |
[04:46] | If you agree to our terms, your client owns the painting, | |
[04:49] | your client will always own the painting, | |
[04:52] | a $10 million piece of art that one day may be worth | |
[04:55] | $20 or $30 million when the museum gets it back. | |
[04:58] | Additionally, you won’t have to set foot in a court of law | |
[05:01] | and run the very serious risk | |
[05:04] | of having the jury rule in favor of my client. | |
[05:08] | I would encourage you not to answer immediately. | |
[05:10] | Consult with the museum, and I’m sure they will see the wisdom | |
[05:14] | of what I am proposing. | |
[05:15] | The portrait we’re talking about is a Cole Trumaine painting | |
[05:19] | that no one has ever seen. | |
[05:21] | Do you realize the kind of attention | |
[05:24] | and attendance that will bring? | |
[05:26] | I will give you 24 hours to convince your client | |
[05:29] | to surrender the painting, or I’ll see you in court. | |
[05:38] | Hi. An investigator from the Department | |
[05:41] | of Immigration and Customs Enforcement just showed up | |
[05:43] | without an appointment. | |
[05:45] | He’s asking for you. | |
[05:47] | “David Ellis. | |
[05:48] | Department of Immigration and Customs Enforcement.” | |
[05:51] | To what do I owe the honor? | |
[05:54] | You had dinner at Della Nicci last week? | |
[05:58] | As a matter of fact, I did. | |
[06:00] | That a problem? | |
[06:02] | Credit card company deny the charge? | |
[06:03] | No. We have reason to believe that the man you were dining with | |
[06:06] | is not a naturalized American citizen | |
[06:08] | and he may, in fact, be in this country illegally. | |
[06:13] | The man I was dining with? | |
[06:15] | The man who stood up in the middle of dinner | |
[06:16] | and saved another man’s life? | |
[06:20] | He told me he was a heart surgeon. | |
[06:22] | And he certainly behaved like a heart surgeon. | |
[06:25] | Although he did do that thing where he patted his pockets | |
[06:28] | and… claimed he forgot his wallet. | |
[06:30] | You sure you have the right man? | |
[06:32] | Can I just trouble you for his name? | |
[06:35] | No. | |
[06:36] | No, I’m not sure you can. | |
[06:38] | You want to tell me what this is about? | |
[06:40] | May I ask how you met him? | |
[06:43] | I swiped right. | |
[06:45] | Look… I know you’re former FBI, | |
[06:49] | so I don’t have to tell you that it’s against the law | |
[06:51] | to facilitate the presence of an illegal alien, | |
[06:54] | even in a sanctuary city like New York. | |
[06:57] | Mm. | |
[06:58] | Again, I think you’re making a terrible mistake. | |
[07:01] | So there’s nothing you want to share with me? | |
[07:10] | Make sure you call me if you hear from him. | |
[07:12] | Why? You have a heart problem? | |
[07:17] | I need a favor. I need help finding Gabriel. | |
[07:19] | He’s not answering his cell. | |
[07:21] | Is everything okay? Something going on? | |
[07:23] | Um, could you just look, please? | |
[07:45] | Taylor? | |
[07:46] | I found him. | |
[07:47] | I mean, a friend of mine from Homeland found him. | |
[07:50] | He’s in a detention center. | |
[07:51] | Immigration got him. | |
[07:55] | *BULL (2016)* Season 03 Episode 09 | |
[07:58] | *BULL (2016)* Episode Title: “Seperation” | |
[08:04] | I called you. I tried to warn you. | |
[08:06] | I know. | |
[08:09] | I didn’t want to pick up. | |
[08:10] | I didn’t want there to be any record of us. | |
[08:13] | I just, I didn’t want to get you in trouble, you know? | |
[08:16] | You can’t get me in trouble; I live here. | |
[08:20] | But what are we gonna do about you? | |
[08:22] | There’s nothing to do. | |
[08:25] | They’ve got me dead to rights. | |
[08:26] | I’ve… been here seven years; no papers. | |
[08:30] | – No papers, nothing? – Hey… | |
[08:33] | trust me, it wasn’t the plan. | |
[08:37] | There was a time | |
[08:38] | I was a pretty big deal surgeon back home. | |
[08:43] | I made a great living. | |
[08:44] | I, uh, did work that mattered. | |
[08:48] | I helped people and was happy. | |
[08:53] | And then… | |
[08:55] | my home started changing. | |
[08:59] | Violence. Crime. | |
[09:02] | Poverty. | |
[09:03] | Hate. | |
[09:05] | It was everywhere. | |
[09:07] | And the government didn’t mind; they were doing fine. | |
[09:10] | Suddenly… | |
[09:12] | doctors, scientists, any other educated people, | |
[09:15] | we became the bad guys, you know? | |
[09:17] | It’s like they thought that anyone who could think | |
[09:20] | might question the regime. | |
[09:23] | So they eliminated the thinkers. | |
[09:28] | You know, my best friend in medical school… | |
[09:31] | Government came, middle of the night, | |
[09:35] | snatched him from his home, | |
[09:38] | put him on display in the public square | |
[09:41] | and executed him. | |
[09:44] | Just like that, in front of his wife and his little girl. | |
[09:48] | Oh, my God. | |
[09:51] | How did you get out? | |
[09:54] | When you have money | |
[09:55] | and there’s something you want… | |
[10:00] | I found a lawyer. | |
[10:01] | I gave him every cent I had. | |
[10:05] | He promised he could get me citizenship, | |
[10:08] | he promised he could get me a spot at the university hospital, | |
[10:13] | that he could get me recertified | |
[10:15] | in the United States. | |
[10:18] | He-He made it sound like I would just be moving, | |
[10:21] | you know, but to a better neighborhood, | |
[10:24] | that it might take me a while to fit in, | |
[10:26] | but in time… | |
[10:29] | And, of course, none of that was true. | |
[10:32] | He got me a tourist visa. | |
[10:36] | It was good for two weeks. | |
[10:39] | And you couldn’t go back. | |
[10:41] | Not if I cared about staying alive. | |
[10:43] | All right, time’s up. | |
[10:44] | They told me you’re going to immigration court. | |
[10:46] | – Do you have a lawyer? – Yeah, absolutely. | |
[10:48] | I met him at the country club. | |
[10:50] | Everybody says he’s great. He’s really nice. | |
[10:51] | It’s not funny. | |
[10:55] | Why are you staring at me? | |
[10:57] | I’m just trying to lock in your face. Your smell. | |
[11:02] | It might be a while, you know? | |
[11:10] | $10 million? | |
[11:12] | That’s an awful lot of money for some acrylic on a canvas. | |
[11:14] | That’s what a jury is going to think, too. | |
[11:17] | They’re gonna think this is all about the money. | |
[11:20] | Funny thing is our client doesn’t need the money. | |
[11:23] | Geoffrey Schreiber is a VP | |
[11:25] | of International Marketing | |
[11:26] | for a huge hedge fund. | |
[11:28] | Splits his time between New York and Frankfurt. | |
[11:30] | Even owns his own jet. | |
[11:32] | Be that as it may, | |
[11:33] | I’ve never met a rich person that didn’t want more money. | |
[11:36] | And I’m sure the attorney for the museum | |
[11:38] | is gonna make that point, as well. | |
[11:39] | Our position will be… | |
[11:41] | the value of the portrait is irrelevant. | |
[11:44] | It’s what it represents that matters, | |
[11:46] | and what it represents | |
[11:47] | is the indestructibility of these two people’s love. | |
[11:50] | They married, | |
[11:52] | divorced, and then planned to marry again. | |
[11:54] | And the only thing that stopped it from happening | |
[11:57] | was Melanie’s death. | |
[11:58] | And in anticipation of that, | |
[12:00] | as a symbol of what they shared, | |
[12:03] | she wanted the painting to reside with him, | |
[12:05] | forever and always. | |
[12:07] | Being the new kid, just curious. | |
[12:10] | This sounds like a tough sell. | |
[12:12] | How do you find jurors | |
[12:14] | who are gonna be sympathetic to our client? | |
[12:15] | Excellent question. | |
[12:17] | Ideally, we’ll be talking to people | |
[12:19] | who might be best described as possessing evolved morality. | |
[12:23] | Evolved morality? | |
[12:24] | Smart people who understand that romance, | |
[12:26] | that… love, that the ability to feel deeply | |
[12:30] | is all part of the human equation, | |
[12:31] | and that if the law is made to serve people, | |
[12:35] | there has to be some accommodation | |
[12:36] | for their humanness. | |
[12:38] | That the answer to every question is not found | |
[12:41] | within the four corners of a document. | |
[12:44] | – Morning, sir. – Morning. | |
[12:46] | Let’s imagine you pull into a commercial parking lot. | |
[12:49] | You take a ticket, find your space. | |
[12:51] | As you’re getting out of your car, | |
[12:52] | you can’t help but notice a big sign. | |
[12:54] | “We are not responsible for damage to your vehicle.” | |
[12:58] | You attend to whatever business brought you to the neighborhood, | |
[13:00] | and when you get back, your car window has been smashed | |
[13:03] | and some packages you had in the back seat have been stolen. | |
[13:06] | What do you do? | |
[13:07] | Nothing you can do. | |
[13:09] | Like the sign says, they’re not responsible. | |
[13:16] | Your Honor, the defense would like to thank | |
[13:17] | and excuse this juror. | |
[13:19] | Just because something’s written down, | |
[13:21] | whether it’s a sign on the wall | |
[13:23] | or the particulars contained in a will, | |
[13:24] | doesn’t mean you can’t challenge it. | |
[13:27] | And people with an evolved morality understand that. | |
[13:30] | How about you? It’s your car. | |
[13:33] | Your window that gets smashed, your things that get taken. | |
[13:35] | Do you have any recourse? | |
[13:36] | – Is there one of those signs up? – Nope. But… | |
[13:39] | the same warning is printed on the back of the ticket | |
[13:41] | you take from the machine at the entrance that lets you in. | |
[13:44] | Oh. | |
[13:47] | I think you just have to eat it. | |
[13:51] | I don’t care what it says on the sign | |
[13:53] | or the back of the ticket. I paid to park my car. | |
[13:57] | I have a right to expect the place to have security. | |
[14:00] | I have the right to expect the place to be well-lit, | |
[14:03] | to be safe. | |
[14:04] | You don’t get to opt out of your responsibility | |
[14:06] | just ’cause you put some mumbo jumbo on a sign. | |
[14:11] | This juror is acceptable | |
[14:12] | to the defense, Your Honor. | |
[14:14] | Now if we can just get four or five more like him. | |
[14:17] | Are you the respondent in this removal proceeding, | |
[14:20] | Gabriel Almonte? | |
[14:21] | Yes, I am, Your Honor. | |
[14:23] | Will you be needing a translator? | |
[14:25] | No, Your Honor. | |
[14:26] | Mr. Almonte, you’re accused | |
[14:28] | of being an undocumented alien living in the United States. | |
[14:30] | Do you understand that? | |
[14:31] | I do. | |
[14:32] | This is an immigration court, | |
[14:34] | and, as such, there is no right to a court-appointed attorney. | |
[14:37] | Do you have representation? | |
[14:40] | No, Your Honor, I do not. | |
[14:42] | Would you like to present a defense | |
[14:43] | before I rule on your removal? | |
[14:46] | Excuse me? | |
[14:47] | It seems as if you’ve already made up your mind. | |
[14:49] | You already know you want to send me back, right? | |
[14:51] | Mr. Almonte, unless you have proof of citizenship | |
[14:54] | or a defense against removal, | |
[14:55] | then, yes, I’m ready to rule right now. | |
[15:01] | Oh. My apologies, Your Honor. | |
[15:05] | Coming from another case at the courthouse across town. | |
[15:08] | Uh, Benjamin Colón, representing Gabriel Almonte. | |
[15:12] | Mr. Colón, I was just asking your client, | |
[15:14] | who apparently didn’t know he had a lawyer, | |
[15:16] | if he would be presenting a defense | |
[15:18] | to the accusations against him. | |
[15:19] | Yes, Your Honor. Well, we will be filing | |
[15:23] | an application for asylum. | |
[15:24] | It is our position that my client | |
[15:26] | should not be removed from this country. | |
[15:29] | Okay. To the issue of bond. | |
[15:32] | Mr. Duncan? | |
[15:34] | Your Honor, Gabriel Almonte is, in our opinion, a flight risk. | |
[15:38] | He was picked up at Port Authority | |
[15:39] | attempting to run | |
[15:40] | and should not receive bond under any circumstances. | |
[15:44] | Mr. Colón? | |
[15:45] | Gabriel Almonte has been in the United States for seven years | |
[15:48] | and has no criminal record. | |
[15:50] | He eagerly looks forward to arguing his case | |
[15:52] | in front of this court, Your Honor. | |
[15:55] | Considering the current overcrowding | |
[15:57] | in our detention center, bond is set at $10,000. | |
[16:01] | The merit hearing will begin tomorrow morning. | |
[16:04] | I do hope you’re not wasting this court’s time, Mr. Colón. | |
[16:07] | Thanks so much for rushing over. | |
[16:09] | I’m just glad I could get here in time to secure bond. | |
[16:12] | All these judges want to do | |
[16:14] | is blast through as many cases as they can, | |
[16:16] | and it’s a lot easier to do without a lawyer standing there. | |
[16:19] | Listen, thank you. Thank you so much. | |
[16:21] | I’m Gabriel.Ah. | |
[16:23] | Benjamin Colón. Saw you at Cable’s funeral. | |
[16:26] | We work together, obviously. | |
[16:28] | And both of you, thank you for the bond money. | |
[16:32] | Okay? I just… | |
[16:34] | Well, you probably want to thank Dr. Bull for that, | |
[16:37] | even though I’m sure he probably doesn’t know about it yet. | |
[16:39] | Then let him know, please, I’ll-I’ll pay him back somehow, | |
[16:42] | – some way. – Will do. | |
[16:44] | Now, here’s what I need you to do. | |
[16:46] | I need you to go home and put a list together for me | |
[16:49] | of people who are willing to testify on your behalf, | |
[16:51] | talk about why you should receive asylum | |
[16:54] | – and be allowed to stay. – Yeah. | |
[16:55] | – Okay, I-I can do that. Sure. – Great, great. | |
[16:57] | I got to run, but the two of you have your homework. | |
[17:04] | Ah, nice to see you. | |
[17:06] | You do know it’s almost 10:00 at night? | |
[17:10] | Believe me, I’m well aware. | |
[17:11] | I just, I need to use our computers and databases | |
[17:14] | to try and track down some names Gabriel gave me, | |
[17:16] | people who can hopefully testify in less than 12 hours. | |
[17:19] | That’s very inspiring, Ms. James. Nothing I like better | |
[17:21] | than a “snowball’s chance in hell” story. | |
[17:29] | I’m sorry. | |
[17:30] | It’s late, and I’m old and cranky. | |
[17:32] | No, you’re not. You’re just too tired to lie. | |
[17:36] | And too smart not to know better. | |
[17:41] | What do you really think his chances are? | |
[17:46] | The awful truth? | |
[17:48] | Your friend picked a terrible moment | |
[17:51] | in the history of this country to be from someplace else. | |
[17:53] | But… you never know. | |
[17:56] | Desperate times call for desperate measures, | |
[17:59] | and this country was founded by desperate people, | |
[18:01] | so… who knows? | |
[18:05] | You’re right. Who knows? | |
[18:19] | I was just sitting there, enjoying dinner with my wife, | |
[18:23] | and then suddenly I started having trouble breathing. | |
[18:26] | Just couldn’t catch my breath. | |
[18:29] | And then my chest started to hurt, | |
[18:32] | and I guess I blacked out. | |
[18:34] | And when you regained consciousness? | |
[18:36] | That guy was standing over me. | |
[18:39] | Found out later I had a collapsed lung. | |
[18:42] | He was the only one who knew what to do. | |
[18:45] | The guy saved my life. | |
[18:47] | If it weren’t for him, | |
[18:49] | I’d have never seen my wife or kids again. | |
[18:52] | My oldest daughter’s | |
[18:53] | expecting her first child. | |
[18:56] | Thanks to him, | |
[18:57] | I’ll get to meet my grandson. | |
[19:00] | No further questions, Your Honor. Thank you. | |
[19:04] | Judge never made eye contact with Gabriel, not once. | |
[19:07] | No change in posture or facial expression. | |
[19:11] | I don’t think we’ve done anything to change his mind. | |
[19:14] | Hmm. I’m not sure changing his mind is even on the menu. | |
[19:18] | Guys like Wentworth, I’ve seen them before. | |
[19:21] | He’s dug in. | |
[19:23] | Prides himself on being a law and order man. | |
[19:25] | Likes to brag at cocktail parties | |
[19:28] | about being appointed by the Department of Justice. | |
[19:30] | They don’t listen to anybody. | |
[19:32] | Not even one of their own? | |
[19:36] | I spoke to Melanie | |
[19:37] | the day after she came back from the hospital. | |
[19:40] | She made it very clear to me that she had given the portrait | |
[19:43] | to my brother. | |
[19:44] | Even told me she was going to contact the museum | |
[19:47] | and amend her agreement with them. | |
[19:49] | Do you know why she never amended | |
[19:51] | her agreement with the museum? | |
[19:53] | I have no idea. My guess is… | |
[19:56] | she never got the chance. | |
[19:58] | The final stage of her cancer was so… | |
[20:02] | aggressive. | |
[20:03] | She was too weak to do much of anything those last days. | |
[20:07] | And then she was gone. | |
[20:11] | No further questions. | |
[20:16] | Good morning, Ms. Schreiber. | |
[20:19] | You’re very close to your brother, aren’t you? | |
[20:23] | Very, yes. | |
[20:24] | And it’s not as if your brother has any children. | |
[20:28] | No nephews or nieces for you to fawn over? | |
[20:31] | No, he has no children. | |
[20:33] | And are there any other siblings, | |
[20:35] | or is it just you and Mr. Schreiber? | |
[20:39] | Just the two of us. | |
[20:40] | So is it safe to assume | |
[20:42] | his will names you as his sole heir when he passes? | |
[20:45] | Objection, Your Honor. Relevance? | |
[20:47] | We’re talking about a $10 million portrait. | |
[20:48] | Isn’t who may end up owning it relevant? | |
[20:51] | Seems like a reasonable line of questioning to me. | |
[20:54] | Overruled. | |
[20:56] | So, again, | |
[20:58] | is it safe to assume | |
[20:59] | his will names you as his sole heir when he passes? | |
[21:01] | That you will, in fact, inherit the portrait | |
[21:03] | when and if your brother should pass before you? | |
[21:06] | It’s not something we talk about, but… | |
[21:09] | I-I suspect that’s true. | |
[21:11] | No further questions. | |
[21:15] | Feels like our boat’s taking on water, Chunk. | |
[21:18] | You don’t have to tell me. I’m right here in it. | |
[21:20] | I’ve got the waterlogged shoes to prove it. | |
[21:25] | Look at me. | |
[21:27] | I know you’ve testified tons of times. | |
[21:29] | Not for a friend. | |
[21:30] | Not when his life is on the line. | |
[21:32] | All the more reason to pay careful attention | |
[21:34] | to what you’re gonna say. | |
[21:35] | Oh, I know what I’m gonna say. | |
[21:37] | I’m gonna ask that judge how he sleeps | |
[21:38] | knowing he’s sending people to certain death. | |
[21:41] | Um, yeah, well, | |
[21:42] | I would urge you to rethink that, Danny. | |
[21:45] | I’m putting you on the stand ’cause you’re ex-FBI. | |
[21:48] | I’m hoping the judge looks at you and thinks, | |
[21:49] | “Oh, she’s one of us.” | |
[21:51] | But you go in there and lecture him, | |
[21:53] | game over. | |
[21:55] | We’re all going home, and Gabriel’s in a C-130, | |
[21:57] | on his way to a firing squad by sundown. | |
[21:59] | So let’s take that anger and put it somewhere else. | |
[22:03] | You want to make that judge understand | |
[22:05] | why Gabriel should be here, | |
[22:06] | not shame him for wanting to send him away. | |
[22:12] | You need to go in there | |
[22:14] | and be that man’s advocate. | |
[22:16] | Tell his story. | |
[22:18] | Talk about what makes him special… | |
[22:20] | Not what the judge can do for Gabriel | |
[22:21] | but what Gabriel can do for us, | |
[22:23] | for this country, | |
[22:25] | all of us already here. | |
[22:28] | When you met | |
[22:29] | Gabriel Almonte, | |
[22:31] | what was your first impression of him? | |
[22:34] | As a field agent for the Federal Bureau of Investigation, | |
[22:36] | it was my job to be a good judge of character. | |
[22:39] | I needed to be able to distinguish people | |
[22:41] | who were authentic assets | |
[22:43] | from people who were not, | |
[22:44] | to be able to see a person’s essence, | |
[22:46] | even if they didn’t want me to see it. | |
[22:52] | I’d like to share a little story, if I may. | |
[22:57] | I was out to dinner with my new friend Gabriel. | |
[23:00] | It was… maybe the second time we’d shared a meal together. | |
[23:03] | And… I did not know | |
[23:05] | that he was a heart surgeon in his native country. | |
[23:08] | I did not know he was here illegally. | |
[23:11] | I did not know anything. | |
[23:14] | He was almost invisible. | |
[23:16] | Cute, funny, | |
[23:18] | good company. | |
[23:20] | But, quite honestly, | |
[23:22] | nothing exceptional. | |
[23:25] | Little did I know that was the way he wanted it. | |
[23:32] | He needed to hide his fierce intellect. | |
[23:34] | He needed to disguise | |
[23:36] | his superior education. | |
[23:37] | So, that night at the restaurant, when the man | |
[23:39] | next to us could no longer breathe, | |
[23:40] | Gabriel had a tough choice to make. | |
[23:42] | He knew instantly what was wrong. | |
[23:44] | He knew instantly what to do. | |
[23:46] | But… | |
[23:47] | he also knew, in doing it, | |
[23:49] | in getting up and exposing himself | |
[23:51] | as somebody who knows his way around the human body | |
[23:53] | in that high-profile restaurant, | |
[23:55] | was sure to get him in trouble. | |
[23:57] | And it did. | |
[23:58] | With me… | |
[24:00] | and the government. | |
[24:03] | We all felt we’d been duped a little. | |
[24:06] | But here’s the point. | |
[24:08] | Here’s-here’s what I need you to know. | |
[24:11] | That almost invisible man | |
[24:14] | didn’t hesitate for a second. | |
[24:17] | He understood that, in that moment, | |
[24:19] | the virtual certainty of that man’s death | |
[24:22] | mattered more than the illusion | |
[24:24] | that his life depended on. | |
[24:27] | So he did what we hope every good neighbor, | |
[24:30] | every good citizen will do. | |
[24:36] | And now I’d like you to imagine | |
[24:39] | how much better all our lives might be | |
[24:42] | if he were allowed to be visible, | |
[24:44] | to be as smart as he truly is, | |
[24:46] | if he were able to offer this country, | |
[24:49] | my country, | |
[24:50] | our country, his best, | |
[24:54] | instead of hiding in the shadows | |
[24:55] | and pleading for the most basic of human rights, | |
[24:57] | the right to stay alive. | |
[25:01] | I’m… I’m sorry. | |
[25:02] | Did I answer your question? | |
[25:04] | You sure did. | |
[25:07] | No further questions, Your Honor. | |
[25:10] | You’re a former FBI agent, | |
[25:12] | so let me ask you a simple question. | |
[25:13] | Do you believe Mr. Almonte understands the law? | |
[25:17] | I’m sorry, | |
[25:18] | you want me to speculate on what someone does | |
[25:20] | or doesn’t understand? | |
[25:21] | You just said he was brilliant. | |
[25:23] | All kinds of education. | |
[25:24] | A doctor. | |
[25:25] | Stands to reason he probably knew | |
[25:27] | he was breaking the law, right? | |
[25:29] | Again, I don’t think it’s my place to… Well, | |
[25:31] | wh-what about you? You think he broke the law? | |
[25:36] | Like I said, | |
[25:37] | I think he’s a human being trying to stay alive. | |
[25:40] | That’s not what I asked, Ms. James. | |
[25:45] | The witness will answer the question. | |
[25:47] | That’s all right. I’ll withdraw it. | |
[25:48] | Thank you, Ms. James. | |
[25:52] | Sit back down. You have not been excused. | |
[25:56] | I’m sorry, Your Honor. | |
[25:58] | I’d like an answer to the question. | |
[26:00] | As a former law enforcement officer, | |
[26:02] | did Gabriel Almonte break the law? | |
[26:05] | A simple yes or no. | |
[26:13] | I’m waiting for an answer, Ms. James. | |
[26:20] | Yes, Your Honor. He broke the law. | |
[26:22] | The laws of the very country he’s asking to take him in. | |
[26:26] | Why should | |
[26:27] | we welcome someone in, no matter what he has to offer, | |
[26:29] | if he’s already proven he’s unwilling to follow our laws? | |
[26:32] | Objection, Your Honor. | |
[26:34] | Now, we all understand | |
[26:36] | that this is a passionate debate… | |
[26:38] | Who are you objecting to, | |
[26:39] | Mr. Colón? Me? My passion? | |
[26:42] | Overruled. | |
[26:44] | Why is it so difficult for people to understand | |
[26:47] | that if we don’t uphold our laws, | |
[26:49] | then we maintain no sense of country at all? | |
[26:52] | Now you’re excused, Ms. James. | |
[26:54] | I’m ready to rule. | |
[26:56] | Your Honor, if it pleases the court, | |
[26:57] | we have one more witness that will be available tomorrow. | |
[27:05] | Is this man a part of your team, Mr. Colón? | |
[27:07] | Does he speak for you? | |
[27:08] | Uh, yes, he does, Your Honor. | |
[27:11] | Fine. | |
[27:13] | I already have something scheduled in the morning. | |
[27:15] | Your witness will testify tomorrow | |
[27:17] | right after lunch, | |
[27:19] | and then I’ll offer my judgment. | |
[27:21] | Court dismissed. | |
[27:24] | And who is this mystery witness? | |
[27:28] | I have no idea. | |
[27:29] | But now everybody lives to see another day, | |
[27:31] | and that certainly beats the alternative. | |
[27:36] | There’s got to be someone we can put on the stand, | |
[27:39] | someone who can make that judge see. | |
[27:41] | Judge can’t see, ’cause he isn’t looking. | |
[27:44] | There’s only two things he wants: | |
[27:46] | to deport Gabriel and get on to his next case. | |
[27:50] | You know, | |
[27:51] | when he first decided to move here, | |
[27:53] | he-he thought he was doing all the right things. | |
[27:56] | He hired this lawyer that promised him the world. | |
[28:00] | The proper papers, | |
[28:01] | recertification as a doctor. | |
[28:04] | Gabriel gave him every cent he had. | |
[28:07] | But when he showed up at the airport, | |
[28:08] | all that was waiting for him was a two-week tourist visa. | |
[28:14] | Maybe there are other people this lawyer scammed. | |
[28:17] | Maybe if… | |
[28:19] | if we could find one of them… | |
[28:21] | That’s not gonna work. | |
[28:23] | You have to be a U.S. citizen | |
[28:24] | to testify in immigration court. | |
[28:27] | Now, if you could find that lawyer… | |
[28:29] | In 13 hours? | |
[28:31] | Who are we kidding? It doesn’t matter. | |
[28:34] | Wentworth doesn’t care what happened to Gabriel. | |
[28:37] | He has a job to do, | |
[28:38] | and he wants to get it done. | |
[28:40] | Well, | |
[28:42] | in the meantime, I’ll start putting together | |
[28:43] | the paperwork for an appeal. | |
[28:45] | But… without any new information, | |
[28:47] | we are likely to be denied. | |
[28:50] | And, of course, we’d have | |
[28:51] | to get him back here, | |
[28:53] | and he’d have to find a way to… | |
[28:54] | avoid authorities in his home country | |
[28:56] | until we schedule the hearings. | |
[28:59] | Lots of ifs. | |
[29:01] | We found some good news. | |
[29:05] | Unless, of course, | |
[29:06] | that isn’t what y’all are looking for. | |
[29:07] | We’ll take all the good news we can get. | |
[29:09] | I was able to access Melanie’s cellular records to see | |
[29:12] | who she might have spoken with the week before she died. | |
[29:14] | She found a witness, | |
[29:16] | a woman that works in a custom frame house. | |
[29:18] | A place that’s done a lot | |
[29:19] | of business with Geoffrey’s ex-wife over the years. | |
[29:21] | She’s willing to testify first thing in the morning. | |
[29:26] | Who is it? | |
[29:27] | It’s me. | |
[29:28] | I’ve been calling and texting you all night, | |
[29:30] | and you haven’t answered me, so I just… | |
[29:32] | want to make sure you’re okay. | |
[29:33] | Yeah, I’m okay. | |
[29:35] | I’m okay. | |
[29:38] | You should just go away. | |
[29:40] | I think that this is all going to be easier for me tomorrow | |
[29:43] | if you’re not there. | |
[29:45] | Okay? | |
[29:48] | I just, | |
[29:49] | I don’t want you to see them take me away. | |
[29:59] | Gabriel, | |
[30:01] | will you please come over here and unhook this door? | |
[30:03] | Go away, please, Danny. | |
[30:05] | Please, just go away. | |
[30:07] | You and your friends have done everything that you can for me. | |
[30:09] | Okay? Thank you. | |
[30:11] | But we’re not done. | |
[30:12] | Yeah, I think that we are. | |
[30:15] | I’m not stupid. | |
[30:16] | You understand? I’m not stupid. | |
[30:18] | That place is not a court. | |
[30:20] | That is a checkpoint. | |
[30:22] | By this time tomorrow, | |
[30:23] | I’m either going to be dead | |
[30:24] | or in a cell waiting to die. | |
[30:27] | No, you won’t. | |
[30:29] | Just please come to the door. | |
[30:33] | Please? | |
[30:37] | Look, I have an idea. | |
[30:38] | I just, I need to tell you to your face. | |
[30:55] | You’re not going to invite me out to dinner again, are you? | |
[30:59] | Let’s get married. | |
[31:01] | City Hall opens at 8:30. | |
[31:04] | Court’s not back until after lunch. | |
[31:06] | By 10:00 a.m., you’ll be on a path to citizenship. | |
[31:12] | You’re serious. | |
[31:13] | Of course I’m serious. | |
[31:14] | Do I look like I’m kidding? | |
[31:30] | You really sure you want to do this? | |
[31:44] | As soon as we’re married, we’ll file for a marriage visa. | |
[31:47] | Judge Wentworth will have to suspend the removal hearing | |
[31:49] | and the immigration officials will investigate our marriage. | |
[31:51] | Oh, man. | |
[31:53] | What? | |
[31:55] | I know about this. | |
[31:58] | I heard about this undocumented guy who got married. | |
[32:02] | He and his wife had been together for years. | |
[32:04] | They still, still separated them | |
[32:07] | and interviewed them for hours. | |
[32:08] | Uh… | |
[32:10] | How are you going to handle your finances? | |
[32:12] | What do you feel about each other’s in-laws? | |
[32:14] | What’s each other’s favorite food? | |
[32:17] | Danny, I don’t, I don’t know your favorite food. | |
[32:19] | I’ve never met your parents. | |
[32:21] | You’ve got to stop thinking this way. | |
[32:24] | And we have to stop having this conversation here. | |
[32:27] | Look… | |
[32:29] | If they don’t give us the marriage license, | |
[32:32] | go back to your country for a few months. | |
[32:35] | Stay under the radar and survive. | |
[32:40] | I’ll go with you. | |
[32:42] | Number 22. | |
[32:47] | – Okay. – Come on. | |
[32:51] | Hi. Uh, we, uh, need a marriage license. | |
[32:56] | I need I.D. from each of you. | |
[32:58] | Uh, yeah, of course. | |
[33:04] | – There you go. – Mm-hmm. | |
[33:07] | Hmm. Danielle James. | |
[33:09] | New York State driver’s license. | |
[33:10] | And Gabriel Almonte. | |
[33:13] | NYC Municipal I.D. card. | |
[33:25] | Well, this all looks good. | |
[33:29] | You are good to go. | |
[33:31] | Once the 24-hour waiting period is up, you’re free to marry. | |
[33:34] | I’m sorry. We… We can’t wait 24 hours. | |
[33:37] | We have to get married today, this morning. | |
[33:39] | Well, that’s not how it works in the state of New York. | |
[33:43] | There’s a 24-hour waiting period. | |
[33:45] | If it’s an emergency, you could try | |
[33:46] | and get a judicial waiver, | |
[33:48] | but I wouldn’t even know how to tell you where to start. | |
[33:53] | Look, it seems like forever, but it isn’t. | |
[33:59] | Number 23! | |
[34:02] | And what was the nature of Melanie’s business | |
[34:04] | the last time she came to your custom frame house? | |
[34:07] | She said she wanted a new frame made | |
[34:09] | for a Cole Trumaine she owned. | |
[34:11] | She said it was a portrait of her | |
[34:13] | that was commissioned shortly before she was married. | |
[34:15] | Apparently, her husband never really liked the gold leaf frame | |
[34:19] | the portrait was originally mounted in. | |
[34:21] | She said Geoffrey preferred more of a sleek, black, modern style. | |
[34:26] | Uh, she was giving it to him as a gift, | |
[34:28] | and she was very particular. | |
[34:30] | She wanted to make sure that everything was done just right. | |
[34:34] | And did any money change hands the day she came to see you? | |
[34:37] | Yes. I prepared the work order and she gave me a deposit. | |
[34:41] | I was waiting for her to let me know | |
[34:43] | when I could pick the piece up, | |
[34:45] | but I-I’m guessing that’s when she took a turn for the worse, | |
[34:48] | – because I never heard from her. – Thank you. | |
[34:51] | One last thing. | |
[34:52] | Did she happen to specify where you were | |
[34:55] | to deliver the piece once your work was completed? | |
[34:57] | Or were you simply gonna return it to her home? | |
[35:01] | No. She was very clear. | |
[35:03] | The portrait was to be delivered | |
[35:04] | to Geoffrey Schreiber’s residence. | |
[35:09] | Your Honor, | |
[35:10] | we would like to enter this work order | |
[35:12] | and cancelled personal check into evidence | |
[35:14] | as defendant’s exhibits A and B. | |
[35:18] | The court will note Geoffrey Schreiber’s address | |
[35:21] | indicated as the “delivery” address. | |
[35:23] | Additionally, the court will note | |
[35:24] | the signature of Melanie Schreiber. | |
[35:29] | So entered. | |
[35:35] | Well, uh, enjoy Germany. | |
[35:37] | I know that Melanie’s portrait is gonna love it there. | |
[35:39] | I can’t thank you both enough. | |
[35:41] | Well, I hate to win and run | |
[35:43] | but I’ve got another case I need to get to. | |
[35:45] | And I fear the outcome is not gonna be what we want it to be. | |
[35:48] | I know this sounds ridiculously hollow, | |
[35:51] | but if there’s ever anything I can do for you, | |
[35:53] | anything at all, please don’t hesitate to ask. | |
[36:06] | Can’t be that early. | |
[36:08] | Actually, you’re both right on time. | |
[36:11] | I’m sorry. | |
[36:12] | We did everything we could. | |
[36:14] | Unfortunately, we were unable to come up with any new witnesses. | |
[36:18] | We’re completely out of moves. | |
[36:21] | I don’t know what to tell you, Gabriel. | |
[36:24] | Uh, yeah. Okay, so… | |
[36:28] | What does that mean for me? What happens now? | |
[36:30] | I just left Judge Wentworth. | |
[36:32] | With his permission, I went ahead and made arrangements | |
[36:35] | for you to voluntarily deport. | |
[36:38] | That way there’s no guards. | |
[36:40] | There’s no cuffs. | |
[36:41] | It’s all very civilized. | |
[36:42] | I got you on a flight out of Kennedy | |
[36:44] | in about two and a half hours, | |
[36:45] | so just enough time to swing by your place, | |
[36:47] | grab a bag’s worth of stuff, | |
[36:49] | whatever you need. | |
[36:52] | And then we will meet the folks from Immigration at the airport, | |
[36:55] | and they’ll walk you through security. | |
[36:57] | It’ll all be very… | |
[36:58] | Civilized, yeah. I-I heard you. | |
[37:03] | You two can’t be serious. | |
[37:05] | How do you expect him to stay alive where he’s going? | |
[37:07] | I don’t know, Danny. | |
[37:09] | Maybe by keeping his head down and his mouth shut. | |
[37:11] | You have any better ideas? | |
[37:13] | He’s right. | |
[37:15] | Okay, he’s right. | |
[37:18] | I can do this. | |
[37:20] | I have some family back home. | |
[37:21] | I-I’ll figure something out. | |
[37:23] | I promised the judge I’d deliver you personally. | |
[37:26] | We should head out. | |
[37:28] | I’m gonna catch a cab. Danny? | |
[37:34] | We’ll give you two a minute. | |
[37:37] | Godspeed. | |
[37:43] | The last thing you’re gonna want to do is go visit your family. | |
[37:46] | That’s where they’re gonna be waiting for you. | |
[37:47] | I know that. | |
[37:49] | Are you kidding me? I’m still trying to figure out | |
[37:51] | how I’m going to make it through the airport | |
[37:53] | without getting picked up. | |
[38:01] | What are you doing? | |
[38:05] | Why are you staring at me? | |
[38:08] | I’m just trying to lock in your face. | |
[38:11] | Your smell. | |
[38:13] | Might be a while, you know. | |
[38:17] | Come here. | |
[38:18] | It’s okay. | It’s okay. |
[38:28] | You better not die. | |
[38:30] | I’ll do my best. | |
[38:47] | Never been this way to Kennedy before. | |
[38:50] | You’ve never gone the back way? | |
[38:57] | I don’t understand. Is that a private jet? | |
[39:00] | That looks like a private jet. | |
[39:02] | Am I going back on a private jet? | |
[39:03] | You got something against private jets? | |
[39:25] | Flight check. | |
[39:27] | Gabriel? | |
[39:29] | Dr. Bull’s friend? | |
[39:32] | My name is Geoffrey Schreiber. | |
[39:34] | Take a seat. | |
[39:39] | Uh… | |
[39:42] | Buckle up. | |
[39:51] | Ever been to Frankfurt? | |
[39:54] | Uh… | |
[39:55] | A very enlightened city. | |
[39:58] | I’m sorry. Is that, that’s where we’re going? | |
[40:00] | That’s where we’re going. | |
[40:02] | Now, when we land, | |
[40:04] | there’ll be a government official waiting for us. | |
[40:06] | You’re going to tell him or her | |
[40:08] | that you’re seeking political asylum. | |
[40:13] | Okay. | |
[40:14] | And then what? | |
[40:15] | And then… | |
[40:16] | they’ll give it to you. | |
[40:24] | Wow. | |
[40:51] | Danny. | |
[40:52] | Just wanted to let you know they arrived safely. | |
[40:55] | Gabriel’s meeting with the German officials as we speak. | |
[40:59] | I think it’s all gonna be fine. | |
[41:02] | I hate you for not telling me. | |
[41:05] | But I love you for doing it. | |
[41:08] | You okay? | |
[41:11] | Yeah. Totally. | |
[41:13] | Now. Thanks to you. | |
[41:17] | Good night, Dr. Bull. | |
[41:18] | Night, Danny. | |
