Whitey: United States of America v. James J. Bulger Page #2

Synopsis: WHITEY: United States of America v. James J. Bulger captures the sensational trial of infamous gangster James 'Whitey' Bulger, using the legal proceedings as a springboard to explore allegations of corruption within the highest levels of law enforcement. Embedded for months with Federal Prosecutors, retired FBI and State Police, victims, lawyers, gangsters and journalists, Academy Award-nominated filmmaker Joe Berlinger examines Bulger's relationship with the FBI and Department of Justice that allowed him to reign over a criminal empire in Boston for decades. Pulling back the curtain on long-held Bulger mythology, the film challenges conventional wisdom by detailing shocking, new allegations. With unprecedented access, Berlinger's latest crime documentary offers a universal tale of human frailty, opportunism, deception, and the often elusive nature of truth and justice.

racketeering, and other crimes that

spanned the early 1970s to mid 1980s.

Man 2:
He fled after being

tipped off by an FBI agent.

He was about to be indicted.

Woman:
Bulger's role as an FBI

informant is central to this trial.

Man 3:
Now he'll face justice

in the same city

many say he ran with an iron fist.

I'll be honest with you,

I have today's date, June 12th.

But lately, I couldn't...

The past few days,

I couldn't tell you what,

and it's the God's truth,

I couldn't tell you

if it was Sunday, Monday,

Friday. It's... I was...

Man:
How come?

My head's been so twisted over all this.

You know, it's like... surreal.

You know, it's...

it's happening.

Whitey killed my sister.

She was looked upon as a good person.

She'd come in the room and she'd,

she'd light it up.

"Hey." You know, "Everybody..."

You know, it's...

He had no right to take her life.

And he took her teeth out,

her hands, and...

Woman:
Mike was killed 30 years ago.

But, you know, I think when you

lose somebody, there's no time.

Sometimes it just seems

like yesterday.

I don't think he should've

died when he died.

He had too much to live for.

You know, the day he was killed,

he was looking for my son Michael

to take him with him.

But, he was down the park,

and he couldn't find him.

So I said, just, you know,

"Just go without him."

Thank God, you know. I guess there's

a reason for everything, you know.

Davis:
Did you get a haircut?

Get over here,

I want to introduce you.

Look it, I didn't know I was

supposed to get all dressed up.

- I just got a shirt on.

- Jesus Christ.

- Today, I feel fantastic.

- Man:
How come?

Well, 30 years ago, they

tormented me, and it's been

30 years of torment, and now it's

coming to an end.

Thank God he's behind bars.

My father always told me that good

will always triumph over evil.

Even if it takes a long time.

And that's just what I'm here for.

- We don't forget.

- Rakes:
No.

- No.

- You know what I mean?

The only kind of comfort I get

through this is talking with him.

You know, me and Steve

meet every morning,

just about every morning for coffee.

That's why Steve and l,

we have something in common,

this psychotic individual.

We're going to bring justice,

it has to be done.

Finally payback.

As nervous as I am, exciting,

the adrenaline is pumping, I just can't,

I can't believe I'm finally here.

I finally get to stop.

I'll have my day, my time.

Woman:
Gentleman, let me ask you

just to say a few words

as you're going in,

what your thoughts are.

Anxious. The day has come.

Man:
What are you going to be

thinking as you look at him

in that courtroom today?

Well, you know, 30 years ago,
