have to work through.
I promise I won't look or stare.
You'd really be helping me out
if you could get me that tape.
What harm could it do?
- The trial's over.
- I'll send it to your office.
- I'll send it to your office.
- better.
- Chinese.
- What?
I like Chinese food.
Chinese.
Definitely Chinese.
But just dinner. You're not gonna
get me into bed on the first date.
- What was I thinking?
- I have principles.
Hey hey, that same lady who keeps
calling and won't leave her name,
You're a very bad boy, CJ.
You're my hero.
Oh, I don't know about...
- Uh, excuse me. You can't go in.
- Don't worry about it. He's expecting us.
- You look great, by the way.
- Sir?
- Thank you, Val.
- I got it.
- This is the big one.
- Sit your ass down.
District Attorney
Mark Hunter is faking
forensic evidence to get
convictions in murder trials.
He's not sitting his ass down.
I am though.
Ass is right down.
Snug.
This is his idea.
- I've got proof.
- Sit your ass down.
Hear me out.
Three years ago
Hunter lost a string of cases.
Now that's not something
a district attorney is supposed to do.
And then badda-bing...
Now he's leading the polls
for governor.
You think maybe he's on a lucky streak?
DAs don't try cases
they don't expect to win.
Okay, take a look at this.
Oh my God.
Why am I listening to you?
There was no footprint match,
no fiber match,
was even there,
except for this cigarette butt.
So Andre Benson had the presence
of mind to pick up his shell casings
but not his cigarette butt
that he left right next to the victim's hand?
I think you used the word proof?
The interview tape.
Just bear with me here.
The detective on the left,
one Anthony Merchant.
Now before Hunter joined the DA's
office, he was a police detective
and his partner for many
than Detective Lieutenant
Anthony Merchant.
Now watch.
Okay, here we go.
That's how they got the cigarette
butt with Benson's DNA.
- It's right there in front of us.
- This is your proof?
All of these 17 convictions
In each case the lead detective was
none other than Anthony Merchant.
How did you get that tape?
From a source.
And I bet this source has a skirt.
Does it matter?
- Not really.
- Then what is it?
I mean, this is a story...
a monster story.
I just received the new budget.
We can't afford the investigation
team anymore.
- What?
- You've got to be kidding me.
- Come on.
- Have you looked at your ratings?
