True Legacy
In new york city's war on crime, the worst criminal offenders are pursued by the detectives of the major case squad.
These are their stories.
What are we doing way over here? The best I could do.
The Nikel's truck got the best spot.
Screw 'em.
The customers are loyal.
They'll follow us, not the Falafel King.
- Okay, who reads my blog? - I do.
I do.
- Who saw the password? - Passion flower.
That's right.
Someone said it.
Passion flower.
Tell that to the cook and get free dim sum and a drink.
With that kind of service, Nikel will go under.
The top is down.
Airport's only two miles away.
You have no idea what I deal with.
Hey, pretty boy, Like how I cut into your business today? Won't be for long, nikhil.
I wouldn't be so sure, Especially not now.
Who was that? What did he mean? Nothing.
He's my competition, the falafel king.
Please, just put the top up.
* * I have to tell you, The first time that I saw martaMmm.
Was in that park.
You remember what I said? What did I say? "I'm gonna marry your sister.
" My father said I should kill him for that.
My beautiful girl.
She has been with me at every single election.
Without her, I am nothing.
Aww.
Hi.
Circulate.
Important donors are here.
Every event's an obligation, huh, mom? No, an opportunity.
Come here.
How you doin'? Good.
Show uncle nando your muscle.
Oh, my god, too much.
Too strong.
Hey, when's angela getting back from florida? Tomorrow, early.
Yeah, she says it's tough, Seeing her sister so sick.
Yeah.
Hey, I want to show you something.
Come here.
Family comes first.
She's doing what she must do.
Angela, we can't be together.
I won't survive.
You mean you don't want to marry me? Of course.
Just leave him, say the word.
If it were just that easy.
Look, I'll talk to him.
Whatever it takes.
No.
Ryan, don't.
Promise me you won't.
Hi.
Yeah, okay.
Damn it.
I'll come home tonight.
I'm sorry, baby.
It's our first time away together.
That guy, nikhil, the guy we saw, Three of our trucks were vandalized.
Don't be upset.
I'm mrs.
Caldera.
I have a message for you.
Thank you.
Hey, it's me.
I found the car.
You better be naked when I get there.
Oh, god.
Law and order Criminal Intent True Legacy Transcription by Adriano_CSI Parking enforcement called the towing company around 3:0p.
M.
Mm-hmm.
And who opened the trunk, harley? The tow truck driver.
Apparently it's not the first time he's rifl a car.
The owner's firing him.
Well, he discovered the body, So have him hang around for an interview.
We have one gunshot wound, Back of the head, no exit wound.
So probably a.
22.
Maximum damage, minimum blood.
Time of death? Rigor mortis has come and gone.
Judging by t limited seepage of blood, I'd say the body was placed here a half-hour after death.
Hmm.
Oh, here we go.
Dumpedith the body.
Could be a pro.
Thanks, lisa marie.
"ryan x.
Foley" Of "foley'moveable feast.
" Best lunch trucks in the city.
Yeah, "foley's feast" services My brother's building sites.
The crime scene s ticulous, But we're checking for latents.
Ballistics has said The murd weapon's untraceable.
Well, it sounds like they hired the best And got what they paid for.
That's rht.
The surveillance camera In that parking area, It was shot with a paintball gun.
That's new, and very clever.
Yeah, of crse, we're checking tapes Fr cameras at the entrance.
So, ryan foley, huh? Married? Single? Family problems? Divorced five years ago, no kids, No lsuits, no evidence of acrimony.
Yeah, found at the airport.
Coming or going? We called his office, And althey'd say is he was gone for a couple of days, Wouldn't say where.
Do a scan of all the airlines out of laguardia.
Here.
He booked a single seat on flight 189 to miami, A window seat in firstlass.
But-and this is very revealing- It doesn't match the traveler manifest For where he actually sat? Yeah.
He changed seats after he boarded.
Downgraded to coach, an aisle seanear the back.
Uh-huh Well, you know, good-looking single guy, He would only downgrade to, uh, Sit next to an upgrade.
He moved to 30d.
Yes, I saw ryan when I was getting my boarding pass.
We happened to be on the same flight.
Mm-hmm, I see.
And then ryan switched seats.
He wanted to-he wanted to sit near you, huh? Oh, just being friendly.
We knew each other, but not well.
We use his catering firm a lot.
I see.
"we" meaning? I'm special counsel on senator cdera's campaign.
I see.
And you're related to the senator, I assume by marriage? You mean how did an irish-american like me Become a caldera? Um, I'm his daughter-in-law.
So you and ryan, What d you, uh, talk about? Uh, I don't know.
Um, mainly problems he was having With his food truck business.
Mm-hmm.
Problems with, uh, anybody specific? I was distract, barely listeng.
Did yosee mr.
Foley while you were in miami? No.
Uh, we landed, And I went my way, and he went his.
Is everything okay, angela? Yes.
These detectives were just asking About somedy I knew from work.
Ryan foley.
He catered our events.
Apparently he was killed.
Oh.
You didn't know him, mr.
Caldera? Oh, no, I have my own business.
I don't work in my father's campaign.
And, um, I barelynew him, So Sorry I can't be of more help.
Not a happy marriage.
You see the slight cringe when he touched her.
And you're thinking That she didn't cringe like that with ryan.
Mm-hmm.
You're very quiet.
It's maureen.
Doctors say she's not out of the woods yet.
It's nice that you could spend time with your sister.
Yeah.
But she still has a few more procedures.
So you'll go back to miami? Well, not if I have anytng to say about it.
I'm facing the meanest re-election my life.
I need angela here.
I need that irish charm out in those neighborhoods.
Hey, you like the speech for tonight? Intro needs a little punching up.
Mm-hmm.
AngelaThoughts? Uh I'll have to read it again.
Hey, I wouldn't worry.
You're still up by 13 peent in today's polls, right? That's a snapshot.
Those numbers chge every day, caro.
Still seems encouraging.
Well, I wouldn't worry about it.
Your best contribution to this campaign Was marrying this one right here.
Hey, let me see what you got there, huh? Look what mom bought me.
Oh, my god, that is so nice.
No, no.
I can wipe my own son's nose.
Angie, I think we need to have another baby.
Too much focus on this little guy.
That's because this little boy is perfection.
Yes.
Yes, you are.
So this is our only footage Of the driver as he enters the parking lot.
He keeps his face tucked down away from the camera.
He's wearing his gloves, So no prints.
But look at that watch.
It's been identified as a gold rolex.
I got a call from the head of csu About bmw keys they found in a trash can.
They match ryan foley's car? Even better.
They found a partial print That matched latents on the trunk.
They belong to angela caldera.
She's in the system? Yeah, a d.
U.
I.
A couple years back.
It went away.
Maybe somebody called in a favor.
Angela's, uh, trip to miami was a lovers' getaway.
And now it gs tricky.
Tricky.
So we don't we just move on her? The senator's facing re-election.
Any blood in the water around a cheating daughter-in-law, And we have a media feeding frenzy instead of a case.
Let's use that to our advantage.
I give it as a reason to meet her solo And confront her with what know.
I like that.
She'll trust you.
Yeah, she'll open up.
Thanks.
You been crying? No, no.
I'm fine.
You don't talk, you barely look at me.
What the hell's going on, angela? You can talk to me.
I'm always here for you.
I'm just tired.
That's all.
Promise you'll never leave me.
No Never.
You can't duck this, angela.
Eventually, we'll have to move on our evidence.
You're really alone? It's just me.
I-I can't do this now, Not with my son here.
It's not safe.
What are you so afraid of, angela? If I bring you to headquarters, Word of that will make every tabloid.
You want that? And this stays just between us? Yeah.
Let's start With why you didn't fly back together.
Ryan left early.
Another food truck vendor was causing problems.
Know his name? No.
But we saw him on the way to the airport.
His truck said "falafel king.
" You were driving ryan's car? No.
Ryan drove.
Angela, your prints? When I came back, There was a message waiting for me from ryan.
It said he wanted to see me And where to find his car.
You found his body.
I dumped the keys in the trash and ran.
You and your husband Did he know about the affair? No.
And even if he did, it wouldn't matter.
They'd never let me leave.
They? The calderas.
I spoke to an attorney about leaving rick.
But when I said the divorce was my idea, That victor caldera would oppose it He refused to represent me.
Husband didn't know? Cheating wives always think that, And usually they're wrong.
So what do we know about rick caldera? That he's an only child.
That's unusual for a latin family.
Yeah, he started poli-sci at columbia, But he's never held a job in politics.
His business is scaffolding.
So money, but not much glamour For political royalty.
But angela's very front and center To the caldera campaign.
She's from a low-income irish family, Parents died when she was six.
She and her sister have moved in and out of foster homes.
Well, her looks and lack of latin ethnicity Open caldera's appeal to a much wider constituency.
That's smart.
"family power: The core of our strength.
" This brochure features angela and her son, bobby, But no rick.
So the heir apparent's a disappointment and a cuckold.
It's tough role in a family like that.
Reason to harbor some rage.
So we need to know what rick knew and when he knew it.
That's a problem for me.
I led angela to think we wouldn't contact him.
Our investigation outweighs her concerns.
And mine? I sort of gave my word.
First of all, you don't cheat, And if you do, don't trust a cop.
Not my first election year.
I mean, to get at my father, People will say anything about any of us.
It's a nasty rumor, nothing more.
I'm afraid it's way beyond a rumor.
- I'm all dressed, papa.
- Hey, buddy, slow down.
Here, look, put this on.
We have a son, A family.
She wouldn't do this to us.
You honestly don't know about her trip to miami? Yeah, she went for her sister's surgery.
A miami hotel has confirmed That she and ryan foley were there together.
But she called every night To say good night to me and bobby.
And you know this for certain? Mm-hmm, yeah.
We need to know where you were the day before she returned.
You think I had something to do with his death? Just verify your whereabouts.
I took bobby to school, Then I bid on a scaffolding job uptown.
That accounts for half the day.
I picked him up that afternoon, Then we went to visit my mother.
Okay, are you satisfied? That helps.
Thank you.
Yeah.
Well, it doesn't help me.
Papa, I can't do my shin guards.
Buddy.
Our trucks go to the Senator's rallies speeches, but I never met his son.
Yeah.
I'm so sorry, mrs.
Dugan.
It must be pretty tough losing The guy that created all this, huh? Ryan was very good to us.
We heard about trouble with another food truck vendor, The falafel king? nikhil fayed.
Yes.
Ryan's death is a windfall for him.
He's grabbed all our territories.
Even the caldera campaign? I can't confirm that.
Hmm.
Any actual confrontations between ryan and Nikhil fayed.
While ryan was in miami, our trucks were vandalized.
Yeah, that trip to miami, Did he mention the reason for that, uh, mrs.
Dugan? He just needed a break.
Did he tell you who she was? You're making me uncomfortable.
Take comfort in helping us find his killer.
We know ryan went away with angela caldera.
He didn't tell me that.
I actually heard it from nikhil.
He called here, said he'd seen them And bragged he'd cause real trouble.
Did you mention to ryan that he said that? So business looks good, nikhil.
What is the problem? This is a spot you and ryan foley were fighting over.
You seem to have benefited nicely from his death.
Listen, I have 12 trucks That serve over 2,000 people a day.
They were my customers always.
Was that before or after you threatened ryan And vandalized his trucks? I don't play dirty.
I just work hard.
Yeah, but you caught some breaks, Like, uh, special treatment from senator caldera.
Well, people talk trash about me.
It's not because the senator Appreciated you telling him That ryan foley was doing his daughter-in-law? You don't know that.
You have no proof.
The proof is in the way you bragged.
I'm done here.
I got a business to run.
So he tells the senator, Ryan comes back and gets murdered.
So we're thinking victor caldera? That puts this Right where our captain was hoping it wouldn't go.
Is there a choice? Not really.
So profiles on senator caldera are countless and endless.
Yes, but all puff-piece fodder.
Here, his prize from the e.
P.
A.
, His support for bio-fuel research.
But look at this.
Look at this picture from the fifth grade With a science award.
Look at that smile.
Happy kid headed for bigger things.
Yeah, well, his father taught grammar school, math.
You know, they were lower middle class in the bronx Mm-hmm.
And then along comes marta castillo.
They met as undergrads at columbia.
Who's that guy in the doorman's braid? Oh.
This is marta's father, General omar castillo.
He came close to running the country, Till his coup went sour.
With him for a father, she learned a few tricks.
Yeah, so she marries the math teacher's son, And with her tricks and his charisma, We've got senator caldera, A guy who bases his whole campaign On the virtues of family, While his daughter-in-law sleeps around.
So what nikhil told him Represented a major threat.
Adultery in the family.
Right.
Now, does he tell his son, "suck it up till I'm re-elected"? "family power: The core of our strength.
" Or did he deal with it himself? Tough mid-term, senator.
Think you'll hold on to your seat? Well, you know, that's what the polls are saying, But I'm gonna tell you something, It's not about who win- hey, huh? It's not about who wins or or loses.
It's about communities, you know.
It's about brooklyn, washington heights, Staten island.
We're talking families, right? My family.
My grandson right here.
Mi familia.
Senator caldera, mrs.
Caldera.
I'm detective nichols.
This is my partner, detective stevens.
So courting the law enforcement vote has paid off.
Actually, we're here to talk to your husband About ryan foley.
Ah.
Trae bobby a la casa.
Go with tio nando.
Gee, can I see that? That's a nice watch.
Look at that.
What is that? Is that a gold rolex? Belonged to my father.
One of the few possessions left to us after the coup.
You know, I only have a few moments.
It's a tragedy about mr.
Foley.
He was a strong supporter.
We're with you, senator! Yes, senator, is, uh Is nikhil fayed a strong supporter? Seems he's been getting the favors That used to come ryan foley's way.
Favors? Catering our campaign? No.
No, no, we choose on a best offer basis.
Did nikhil sweeten the deal With the revelation that ryan foley Was sleeping with your son's wife? You know, I'm gonna tell you something.
In politics, One masters the art of ignoring the vile rumor.
I'm gonna tell you something.
We have evidence that angela Was involved with ryan foley, senator.
The senator and I have great respect for the work you do, But don't push beyond civility And make us regret what we feel.
Excuse us.
I found some classified information In a state department database About marta caldera's brother.
His name is hernando, Known within the clan as tio nando.
Tio nando? Uncle nando? That's cute.
Mm-hmm.
Well, if your dad is general castillo, Noted for merciless killings and a bloody coup attempt, "cute" is kind of helpful.
So, here.
He also got an arrest here in new york.
He beat a man to death.
Really? Let me guess.
The case went from a murder To justifiable homicide on a self-defense plea.
And all the charges were dropped.
It was during victor's stint In the new york attorney general's office.
Oh, so while victor owes his political rise To castillo family money, Tio nando is also beholden to victor And becomes the go-to guy for family problems.
Like a cheating wife.
Angela, get back here.
- Oh! - You're not going anywhere! Oh! Ah! Unh! What, you think you can screw around? - No, I- - huh? You got cops, everybody, Laughing at me? Huh? What was I thinking? I married a slut.
Rick, please, stop.
Police! I married a slut.
What the hell do you expect me to do? Come on, come on, back off.
That's enough.
Get him down.
Unh! Give me your hands.
Hold still.
You're doing so well.
Much faster than last week.
Do you remember that school I told you about, Horace mann? Yeah.
Do they teach computer there? mi tesoro.
Hello? Tell the housekeeper it's time for your snack, okay? Yes, off course.
En seguida, rick.
Hey, what now? Rick's in jail.
He attacked angela.
How do I keep that under the radar, huh? We need to post bail, Make a public show of support.
For a wife-beater.
How do you spin that? By supporting angela.
Focus on her.
All families have crises.
Now we show decency, compassion, Concern for our beloved daughter-in-law.
People will relate to that.
Yes, I do blame you, not him.
It's because you shamed him.
Yeah, but having secrets hasn't exactly Helped you in the past.
In any case, somebody else Could have told rick about ryan, Maybe while you guys were still in miami.
What mes you say that? Well, we're pretty certain victor knew.
- How? - It doesn't matter how.
Rick could've spoken to nando Tio nando? I-I know what you're saying, But he wouldn't do that for rick.
Mm-hmm.
Well, uh, angela, Who would he do things for? Stop bringing up the family.
The food truck g, ryan's competitor, That's who killed him.
Angela, it's too late to lie.
Angela, we could arrange it so that you and your son Go into witnesprotection.
No.
I don't want that.
I want you to leave.
Victor caldera is a powerful man.
A captive mentality.
A poor girl suddenly surrounded by wealth and power.
She might have at one time felt lucky to be part of them - Uh-huh,.
- Now she's just plain scared.
Ah, maybe rightly so.
They could have eyes everywhere.
Maybe victor always had her followed.
Maybe ryan wasn't the first.
If she slipped away for other trysts While on the campaign trail, Campaigns, by law, have to keep detailed travel records.
Yeah? Let's check her travel, See if it syncs up with tio nando.
Angela's travel records, We learned it was tough for her to cheat.
The watchful eye of tio nando? Someone even closer to home.
Yeah, she was always in the compa Of her father-in-law.
Inseparable.
Every high-end junket? Yeah, he occasionally goes without her, But it's never the other way around.
Here.
Four days at the puntacana resort.
Victor has a bungalow, angela's not even registered.
And why are we certain she wasn't there on this occasion? I'm serious.
Think dirty.
Why? Okay.
Here, chking a press release from that visit Oh, here.
It does mentions angela.
She was there.
She checked into san nicolas hospital, Uh, six years ago.
Isn't her son around six? Bobby was born during that trip.
Yeah, it says here that rick and rta Flew in on a private jet the following day.
So angela had her ba out of the country Without her husband at her sid Why? Sorry I'm late.
Is bobby ready? Well, he's asleep.
He's gonna stay here night.
Are you sure? I can take him with me.
It's better if he stays with us.
It doesn't mean you ould leave.
We've got to work out this mess of yours.
Victor, I- I can only offer so many apologies.
Well, to salva a senate race requires your sacrifice.
Myacrifice? Something beyond the one I've already made.
The breach of- - enough, okay.
You're gonna go under a doctor's care For mental problems.
Mental problems? Yeah, you suffer from depression, Maybe it's bipolar disorder, But it's what caused the family crisis.
I'm not sane? You make aublic statement, Anyou resign yourself to treatment.
Rick'll never be a part of this.
Like you, he has no other choice.
Where could you go that we couldn't find you, huh? Look, don't worry.
Things will begain as they should be.
You need to show people That you're sorry for what you've done.
Now, you are sorry, aren't you? We totally support our beloved angela in this time of need.
Angela will tell in her own words How her actions led to our son's arrest.
We admire her bravery, And you will too.
Now, if this means that I cannot lead this campaign No! If it means that I cannot rve you, To meet the needs of my family I'm only gonna ask you for one thing.
That's for your love and your prayers For angela and our son in this time of need.
talk about a master of spin.
Victor and angela covered their tracks well.
Sometimes she registered under her maiden name, scanlon, But if he was there, so was she.
Shtupping his son's wife The whole time they've been married? And I voted for this guy.
So ryan foley was a threat to him, And he called on nando to eliminate the competition? Where does rick stand in all this? Was he party to it, ignorant, or in denial? Let's offer him a dose of reality and find out.
I have nothing to say about ryan foley's death.
And you have an alibi which covers his activities.
We think ryan foley's death Resulted from someone else's feelings for angela, Not rick's.
Then they should be here, not him.
Wait.
What are you talking about? How come your father didn't tell you about angela's affair With ryan foley? He didn't know.
We have evidence that he did know.
Wait.
We should confer.
No.
I want to hear this.
So what, my father knew about angela? Did he think that you couldn't Take care of your wife's lover? Not man enough? Come on, rick, I buy that you were cuckolded once, But you had to know about angela and your father.
My father? All those trips, they shared a room.
Okay, yes, I'm not a total idiot.
I know how that looks, And I raised the issue with the family.
I am satisfied that nothing, Absolutely nothing was going on.
Victor was that convincing? My mother was that convincing.
My father doesn't jump unless she tells him how high.
Here are times and places Where your father and angela- you get the picture.
There's an affidavit from a hotel clerk, All during the first year of your marriage.
That dirty, rotten bastard.
That filthy hijo de- But you have him? Wait.
We must talk about this.
No.
You were his hire, not mine.
I want you out of here.
Out! So is my father going down for ryan foley's murder? Tell me that's true.
There's a way to make it true.
The attorney says you fired him.
What are you, in some scheme with the cops? You're wearing a wire? Hello, detectives, you listening? It's a bad idea to threaten me, hijo.
I'm not here with a wire.
I'm here for compensation for the grief you've caused me.
I'm not giving you a dime.
Then I'll be taking bobby away from you.
Yours is the weak blood of my own father.
Yeah.
A little man, Who was satisfied teaching slum children to count pennies.
A man with no vision, no goals.
Stay out of this, mamita.
Our family needs to make peace.
You can't uproot bobby.
He's out of your lives.
Unless Well, at this point it's all about money.
No Ningun centavo.
El dinero es mio.
Yeah, that's right.
It is your money.
So buy him out of this.
Is 200,000 enough? More like five.
You'll have it tonight After the office closes.
You've suffered, but someday this will pass.
Somos familia.
Tio nando.
I'm sad you're leaving our family, sobrino.
Take my word, for now it's for the best.
I don't understand that kind of thinking, But it's your life.
Hey! Put it down! Put it down.
Now back away from it.
Hands above your head, turn around.
You have the right to remain silent.
Anything you say can and will be used against you In a court of law I blamed you, papito, But, uh, she's much harder than I thought.
We've arrested your brother.
Okay, there is no discussion until I call our lawyer.
Mrs.
Caldera, we know why you wanted your son dead, And we know why you ordered your brother To kill ryan foley.
This empire is yours, not the senator's.
I will not respond to any of these accus- Oh, I see.
The betrayal is now complete.
Angela never betrayed you.
She never broke from your plan.
The official family bio praises you For nurturing troubled young women.
You singled out angela, mentored her.
Yes And made her a daughter, Only to have her shame me.
We know from angela's phone records She called you from miami.
So you knew her travel plans, you called nando, And had nando kill ryan foley.
This is absurd.
It was important that angela see ryan's body.
It was a warning that nobody leaves your fold.
But if you knew I was sleeping with victor, Why didn't you want me gone? To respond is beneath me.
You had to stay, angela.
You're bobby's mother.
Bobby is the son of real promise.
He'll be to the family all that rick was not.
Angela deserves to know the more profound reason Why marta allowed, In fact, wanted you to seduce her.
She wanted it? She needed a surrogate.
Somebody compliant, obligated to be in the family fold.
There's a paternity test At the hospital san nicolas.
This is a copy of it.
Requested at bobby's birth By marta Caldera castillo.
You couldn't give victor more than one child, could you? Rick, I'm- rick, I'm so sorry.
Yeah.
We both qualify as damaged goods.
Hear him.
Even now, weakness.
From grammar school, when he would come home crying, A cowardly boy, A victim of bullies, We knew.
Victor and I knew we had a problem, And I vowed to resolve it.
Is it so wrong to want a child To honor the castillo-caldera name? The crime isn't wanting a son.
The crime is lying and killing to have one.
Senator, call your lawyer.
You're gonna be surrendering at centre street.
Get in.
These are their stories.
What are we doing way over here? The best I could do.
The Nikel's truck got the best spot.
Screw 'em.
The customers are loyal.
They'll follow us, not the Falafel King.
- Okay, who reads my blog? - I do.
I do.
- Who saw the password? - Passion flower.
That's right.
Someone said it.
Passion flower.
Tell that to the cook and get free dim sum and a drink.
With that kind of service, Nikel will go under.
The top is down.
Airport's only two miles away.
You have no idea what I deal with.
Hey, pretty boy, Like how I cut into your business today? Won't be for long, nikhil.
I wouldn't be so sure, Especially not now.
Who was that? What did he mean? Nothing.
He's my competition, the falafel king.
Please, just put the top up.
* * I have to tell you, The first time that I saw martaMmm.
Was in that park.
You remember what I said? What did I say? "I'm gonna marry your sister.
" My father said I should kill him for that.
My beautiful girl.
She has been with me at every single election.
Without her, I am nothing.
Aww.
Hi.
Circulate.
Important donors are here.
Every event's an obligation, huh, mom? No, an opportunity.
Come here.
How you doin'? Good.
Show uncle nando your muscle.
Oh, my god, too much.
Too strong.
Hey, when's angela getting back from florida? Tomorrow, early.
Yeah, she says it's tough, Seeing her sister so sick.
Yeah.
Hey, I want to show you something.
Come here.
Family comes first.
She's doing what she must do.
Angela, we can't be together.
I won't survive.
You mean you don't want to marry me? Of course.
Just leave him, say the word.
If it were just that easy.
Look, I'll talk to him.
Whatever it takes.
No.
Ryan, don't.
Promise me you won't.
Hi.
Yeah, okay.
Damn it.
I'll come home tonight.
I'm sorry, baby.
It's our first time away together.
That guy, nikhil, the guy we saw, Three of our trucks were vandalized.
Don't be upset.
I'm mrs.
Caldera.
I have a message for you.
Thank you.
Hey, it's me.
I found the car.
You better be naked when I get there.
Oh, god.
Law and order Criminal Intent True Legacy Transcription by Adriano_CSI Parking enforcement called the towing company around 3:0p.
M.
Mm-hmm.
And who opened the trunk, harley? The tow truck driver.
Apparently it's not the first time he's rifl a car.
The owner's firing him.
Well, he discovered the body, So have him hang around for an interview.
We have one gunshot wound, Back of the head, no exit wound.
So probably a.
22.
Maximum damage, minimum blood.
Time of death? Rigor mortis has come and gone.
Judging by t limited seepage of blood, I'd say the body was placed here a half-hour after death.
Hmm.
Oh, here we go.
Dumpedith the body.
Could be a pro.
Thanks, lisa marie.
"ryan x.
Foley" Of "foley'moveable feast.
" Best lunch trucks in the city.
Yeah, "foley's feast" services My brother's building sites.
The crime scene s ticulous, But we're checking for latents.
Ballistics has said The murd weapon's untraceable.
Well, it sounds like they hired the best And got what they paid for.
That's rht.
The surveillance camera In that parking area, It was shot with a paintball gun.
That's new, and very clever.
Yeah, of crse, we're checking tapes Fr cameras at the entrance.
So, ryan foley, huh? Married? Single? Family problems? Divorced five years ago, no kids, No lsuits, no evidence of acrimony.
Yeah, found at the airport.
Coming or going? We called his office, And althey'd say is he was gone for a couple of days, Wouldn't say where.
Do a scan of all the airlines out of laguardia.
Here.
He booked a single seat on flight 189 to miami, A window seat in firstlass.
But-and this is very revealing- It doesn't match the traveler manifest For where he actually sat? Yeah.
He changed seats after he boarded.
Downgraded to coach, an aisle seanear the back.
Uh-huh Well, you know, good-looking single guy, He would only downgrade to, uh, Sit next to an upgrade.
He moved to 30d.
Yes, I saw ryan when I was getting my boarding pass.
We happened to be on the same flight.
Mm-hmm, I see.
And then ryan switched seats.
He wanted to-he wanted to sit near you, huh? Oh, just being friendly.
We knew each other, but not well.
We use his catering firm a lot.
I see.
"we" meaning? I'm special counsel on senator cdera's campaign.
I see.
And you're related to the senator, I assume by marriage? You mean how did an irish-american like me Become a caldera? Um, I'm his daughter-in-law.
So you and ryan, What d you, uh, talk about? Uh, I don't know.
Um, mainly problems he was having With his food truck business.
Mm-hmm.
Problems with, uh, anybody specific? I was distract, barely listeng.
Did yosee mr.
Foley while you were in miami? No.
Uh, we landed, And I went my way, and he went his.
Is everything okay, angela? Yes.
These detectives were just asking About somedy I knew from work.
Ryan foley.
He catered our events.
Apparently he was killed.
Oh.
You didn't know him, mr.
Caldera? Oh, no, I have my own business.
I don't work in my father's campaign.
And, um, I barelynew him, So Sorry I can't be of more help.
Not a happy marriage.
You see the slight cringe when he touched her.
And you're thinking That she didn't cringe like that with ryan.
Mm-hmm.
You're very quiet.
It's maureen.
Doctors say she's not out of the woods yet.
It's nice that you could spend time with your sister.
Yeah.
But she still has a few more procedures.
So you'll go back to miami? Well, not if I have anytng to say about it.
I'm facing the meanest re-election my life.
I need angela here.
I need that irish charm out in those neighborhoods.
Hey, you like the speech for tonight? Intro needs a little punching up.
Mm-hmm.
AngelaThoughts? Uh I'll have to read it again.
Hey, I wouldn't worry.
You're still up by 13 peent in today's polls, right? That's a snapshot.
Those numbers chge every day, caro.
Still seems encouraging.
Well, I wouldn't worry about it.
Your best contribution to this campaign Was marrying this one right here.
Hey, let me see what you got there, huh? Look what mom bought me.
Oh, my god, that is so nice.
No, no.
I can wipe my own son's nose.
Angie, I think we need to have another baby.
Too much focus on this little guy.
That's because this little boy is perfection.
Yes.
Yes, you are.
So this is our only footage Of the driver as he enters the parking lot.
He keeps his face tucked down away from the camera.
He's wearing his gloves, So no prints.
But look at that watch.
It's been identified as a gold rolex.
I got a call from the head of csu About bmw keys they found in a trash can.
They match ryan foley's car? Even better.
They found a partial print That matched latents on the trunk.
They belong to angela caldera.
She's in the system? Yeah, a d.
U.
I.
A couple years back.
It went away.
Maybe somebody called in a favor.
Angela's, uh, trip to miami was a lovers' getaway.
And now it gs tricky.
Tricky.
So we don't we just move on her? The senator's facing re-election.
Any blood in the water around a cheating daughter-in-law, And we have a media feeding frenzy instead of a case.
Let's use that to our advantage.
I give it as a reason to meet her solo And confront her with what know.
I like that.
She'll trust you.
Yeah, she'll open up.
Thanks.
You been crying? No, no.
I'm fine.
You don't talk, you barely look at me.
What the hell's going on, angela? You can talk to me.
I'm always here for you.
I'm just tired.
That's all.
Promise you'll never leave me.
No Never.
You can't duck this, angela.
Eventually, we'll have to move on our evidence.
You're really alone? It's just me.
I-I can't do this now, Not with my son here.
It's not safe.
What are you so afraid of, angela? If I bring you to headquarters, Word of that will make every tabloid.
You want that? And this stays just between us? Yeah.
Let's start With why you didn't fly back together.
Ryan left early.
Another food truck vendor was causing problems.
Know his name? No.
But we saw him on the way to the airport.
His truck said "falafel king.
" You were driving ryan's car? No.
Ryan drove.
Angela, your prints? When I came back, There was a message waiting for me from ryan.
It said he wanted to see me And where to find his car.
You found his body.
I dumped the keys in the trash and ran.
You and your husband Did he know about the affair? No.
And even if he did, it wouldn't matter.
They'd never let me leave.
They? The calderas.
I spoke to an attorney about leaving rick.
But when I said the divorce was my idea, That victor caldera would oppose it He refused to represent me.
Husband didn't know? Cheating wives always think that, And usually they're wrong.
So what do we know about rick caldera? That he's an only child.
That's unusual for a latin family.
Yeah, he started poli-sci at columbia, But he's never held a job in politics.
His business is scaffolding.
So money, but not much glamour For political royalty.
But angela's very front and center To the caldera campaign.
She's from a low-income irish family, Parents died when she was six.
She and her sister have moved in and out of foster homes.
Well, her looks and lack of latin ethnicity Open caldera's appeal to a much wider constituency.
That's smart.
"family power: The core of our strength.
" This brochure features angela and her son, bobby, But no rick.
So the heir apparent's a disappointment and a cuckold.
It's tough role in a family like that.
Reason to harbor some rage.
So we need to know what rick knew and when he knew it.
That's a problem for me.
I led angela to think we wouldn't contact him.
Our investigation outweighs her concerns.
And mine? I sort of gave my word.
First of all, you don't cheat, And if you do, don't trust a cop.
Not my first election year.
I mean, to get at my father, People will say anything about any of us.
It's a nasty rumor, nothing more.
I'm afraid it's way beyond a rumor.
- I'm all dressed, papa.
- Hey, buddy, slow down.
Here, look, put this on.
We have a son, A family.
She wouldn't do this to us.
You honestly don't know about her trip to miami? Yeah, she went for her sister's surgery.
A miami hotel has confirmed That she and ryan foley were there together.
But she called every night To say good night to me and bobby.
And you know this for certain? Mm-hmm, yeah.
We need to know where you were the day before she returned.
You think I had something to do with his death? Just verify your whereabouts.
I took bobby to school, Then I bid on a scaffolding job uptown.
That accounts for half the day.
I picked him up that afternoon, Then we went to visit my mother.
Okay, are you satisfied? That helps.
Thank you.
Yeah.
Well, it doesn't help me.
Papa, I can't do my shin guards.
Buddy.
Our trucks go to the Senator's rallies speeches, but I never met his son.
Yeah.
I'm so sorry, mrs.
Dugan.
It must be pretty tough losing The guy that created all this, huh? Ryan was very good to us.
We heard about trouble with another food truck vendor, The falafel king? nikhil fayed.
Yes.
Ryan's death is a windfall for him.
He's grabbed all our territories.
Even the caldera campaign? I can't confirm that.
Hmm.
Any actual confrontations between ryan and Nikhil fayed.
While ryan was in miami, our trucks were vandalized.
Yeah, that trip to miami, Did he mention the reason for that, uh, mrs.
Dugan? He just needed a break.
Did he tell you who she was? You're making me uncomfortable.
Take comfort in helping us find his killer.
We know ryan went away with angela caldera.
He didn't tell me that.
I actually heard it from nikhil.
He called here, said he'd seen them And bragged he'd cause real trouble.
Did you mention to ryan that he said that? So business looks good, nikhil.
What is the problem? This is a spot you and ryan foley were fighting over.
You seem to have benefited nicely from his death.
Listen, I have 12 trucks That serve over 2,000 people a day.
They were my customers always.
Was that before or after you threatened ryan And vandalized his trucks? I don't play dirty.
I just work hard.
Yeah, but you caught some breaks, Like, uh, special treatment from senator caldera.
Well, people talk trash about me.
It's not because the senator Appreciated you telling him That ryan foley was doing his daughter-in-law? You don't know that.
You have no proof.
The proof is in the way you bragged.
I'm done here.
I got a business to run.
So he tells the senator, Ryan comes back and gets murdered.
So we're thinking victor caldera? That puts this Right where our captain was hoping it wouldn't go.
Is there a choice? Not really.
So profiles on senator caldera are countless and endless.
Yes, but all puff-piece fodder.
Here, his prize from the e.
P.
A.
, His support for bio-fuel research.
But look at this.
Look at this picture from the fifth grade With a science award.
Look at that smile.
Happy kid headed for bigger things.
Yeah, well, his father taught grammar school, math.
You know, they were lower middle class in the bronx Mm-hmm.
And then along comes marta castillo.
They met as undergrads at columbia.
Who's that guy in the doorman's braid? Oh.
This is marta's father, General omar castillo.
He came close to running the country, Till his coup went sour.
With him for a father, she learned a few tricks.
Yeah, so she marries the math teacher's son, And with her tricks and his charisma, We've got senator caldera, A guy who bases his whole campaign On the virtues of family, While his daughter-in-law sleeps around.
So what nikhil told him Represented a major threat.
Adultery in the family.
Right.
Now, does he tell his son, "suck it up till I'm re-elected"? "family power: The core of our strength.
" Or did he deal with it himself? Tough mid-term, senator.
Think you'll hold on to your seat? Well, you know, that's what the polls are saying, But I'm gonna tell you something, It's not about who win- hey, huh? It's not about who wins or or loses.
It's about communities, you know.
It's about brooklyn, washington heights, Staten island.
We're talking families, right? My family.
My grandson right here.
Mi familia.
Senator caldera, mrs.
Caldera.
I'm detective nichols.
This is my partner, detective stevens.
So courting the law enforcement vote has paid off.
Actually, we're here to talk to your husband About ryan foley.
Ah.
Trae bobby a la casa.
Go with tio nando.
Gee, can I see that? That's a nice watch.
Look at that.
What is that? Is that a gold rolex? Belonged to my father.
One of the few possessions left to us after the coup.
You know, I only have a few moments.
It's a tragedy about mr.
Foley.
He was a strong supporter.
We're with you, senator! Yes, senator, is, uh Is nikhil fayed a strong supporter? Seems he's been getting the favors That used to come ryan foley's way.
Favors? Catering our campaign? No.
No, no, we choose on a best offer basis.
Did nikhil sweeten the deal With the revelation that ryan foley Was sleeping with your son's wife? You know, I'm gonna tell you something.
In politics, One masters the art of ignoring the vile rumor.
I'm gonna tell you something.
We have evidence that angela Was involved with ryan foley, senator.
The senator and I have great respect for the work you do, But don't push beyond civility And make us regret what we feel.
Excuse us.
I found some classified information In a state department database About marta caldera's brother.
His name is hernando, Known within the clan as tio nando.
Tio nando? Uncle nando? That's cute.
Mm-hmm.
Well, if your dad is general castillo, Noted for merciless killings and a bloody coup attempt, "cute" is kind of helpful.
So, here.
He also got an arrest here in new york.
He beat a man to death.
Really? Let me guess.
The case went from a murder To justifiable homicide on a self-defense plea.
And all the charges were dropped.
It was during victor's stint In the new york attorney general's office.
Oh, so while victor owes his political rise To castillo family money, Tio nando is also beholden to victor And becomes the go-to guy for family problems.
Like a cheating wife.
Angela, get back here.
- Oh! - You're not going anywhere! Oh! Ah! Unh! What, you think you can screw around? - No, I- - huh? You got cops, everybody, Laughing at me? Huh? What was I thinking? I married a slut.
Rick, please, stop.
Police! I married a slut.
What the hell do you expect me to do? Come on, come on, back off.
That's enough.
Get him down.
Unh! Give me your hands.
Hold still.
You're doing so well.
Much faster than last week.
Do you remember that school I told you about, Horace mann? Yeah.
Do they teach computer there? mi tesoro.
Hello? Tell the housekeeper it's time for your snack, okay? Yes, off course.
En seguida, rick.
Hey, what now? Rick's in jail.
He attacked angela.
How do I keep that under the radar, huh? We need to post bail, Make a public show of support.
For a wife-beater.
How do you spin that? By supporting angela.
Focus on her.
All families have crises.
Now we show decency, compassion, Concern for our beloved daughter-in-law.
People will relate to that.
Yes, I do blame you, not him.
It's because you shamed him.
Yeah, but having secrets hasn't exactly Helped you in the past.
In any case, somebody else Could have told rick about ryan, Maybe while you guys were still in miami.
What mes you say that? Well, we're pretty certain victor knew.
- How? - It doesn't matter how.
Rick could've spoken to nando Tio nando? I-I know what you're saying, But he wouldn't do that for rick.
Mm-hmm.
Well, uh, angela, Who would he do things for? Stop bringing up the family.
The food truck g, ryan's competitor, That's who killed him.
Angela, it's too late to lie.
Angela, we could arrange it so that you and your son Go into witnesprotection.
No.
I don't want that.
I want you to leave.
Victor caldera is a powerful man.
A captive mentality.
A poor girl suddenly surrounded by wealth and power.
She might have at one time felt lucky to be part of them - Uh-huh,.
- Now she's just plain scared.
Ah, maybe rightly so.
They could have eyes everywhere.
Maybe victor always had her followed.
Maybe ryan wasn't the first.
If she slipped away for other trysts While on the campaign trail, Campaigns, by law, have to keep detailed travel records.
Yeah? Let's check her travel, See if it syncs up with tio nando.
Angela's travel records, We learned it was tough for her to cheat.
The watchful eye of tio nando? Someone even closer to home.
Yeah, she was always in the compa Of her father-in-law.
Inseparable.
Every high-end junket? Yeah, he occasionally goes without her, But it's never the other way around.
Here.
Four days at the puntacana resort.
Victor has a bungalow, angela's not even registered.
And why are we certain she wasn't there on this occasion? I'm serious.
Think dirty.
Why? Okay.
Here, chking a press release from that visit Oh, here.
It does mentions angela.
She was there.
She checked into san nicolas hospital, Uh, six years ago.
Isn't her son around six? Bobby was born during that trip.
Yeah, it says here that rick and rta Flew in on a private jet the following day.
So angela had her ba out of the country Without her husband at her sid Why? Sorry I'm late.
Is bobby ready? Well, he's asleep.
He's gonna stay here night.
Are you sure? I can take him with me.
It's better if he stays with us.
It doesn't mean you ould leave.
We've got to work out this mess of yours.
Victor, I- I can only offer so many apologies.
Well, to salva a senate race requires your sacrifice.
Myacrifice? Something beyond the one I've already made.
The breach of- - enough, okay.
You're gonna go under a doctor's care For mental problems.
Mental problems? Yeah, you suffer from depression, Maybe it's bipolar disorder, But it's what caused the family crisis.
I'm not sane? You make aublic statement, Anyou resign yourself to treatment.
Rick'll never be a part of this.
Like you, he has no other choice.
Where could you go that we couldn't find you, huh? Look, don't worry.
Things will begain as they should be.
You need to show people That you're sorry for what you've done.
Now, you are sorry, aren't you? We totally support our beloved angela in this time of need.
Angela will tell in her own words How her actions led to our son's arrest.
We admire her bravery, And you will too.
Now, if this means that I cannot lead this campaign No! If it means that I cannot rve you, To meet the needs of my family I'm only gonna ask you for one thing.
That's for your love and your prayers For angela and our son in this time of need.
talk about a master of spin.
Victor and angela covered their tracks well.
Sometimes she registered under her maiden name, scanlon, But if he was there, so was she.
Shtupping his son's wife The whole time they've been married? And I voted for this guy.
So ryan foley was a threat to him, And he called on nando to eliminate the competition? Where does rick stand in all this? Was he party to it, ignorant, or in denial? Let's offer him a dose of reality and find out.
I have nothing to say about ryan foley's death.
And you have an alibi which covers his activities.
We think ryan foley's death Resulted from someone else's feelings for angela, Not rick's.
Then they should be here, not him.
Wait.
What are you talking about? How come your father didn't tell you about angela's affair With ryan foley? He didn't know.
We have evidence that he did know.
Wait.
We should confer.
No.
I want to hear this.
So what, my father knew about angela? Did he think that you couldn't Take care of your wife's lover? Not man enough? Come on, rick, I buy that you were cuckolded once, But you had to know about angela and your father.
My father? All those trips, they shared a room.
Okay, yes, I'm not a total idiot.
I know how that looks, And I raised the issue with the family.
I am satisfied that nothing, Absolutely nothing was going on.
Victor was that convincing? My mother was that convincing.
My father doesn't jump unless she tells him how high.
Here are times and places Where your father and angela- you get the picture.
There's an affidavit from a hotel clerk, All during the first year of your marriage.
That dirty, rotten bastard.
That filthy hijo de- But you have him? Wait.
We must talk about this.
No.
You were his hire, not mine.
I want you out of here.
Out! So is my father going down for ryan foley's murder? Tell me that's true.
There's a way to make it true.
The attorney says you fired him.
What are you, in some scheme with the cops? You're wearing a wire? Hello, detectives, you listening? It's a bad idea to threaten me, hijo.
I'm not here with a wire.
I'm here for compensation for the grief you've caused me.
I'm not giving you a dime.
Then I'll be taking bobby away from you.
Yours is the weak blood of my own father.
Yeah.
A little man, Who was satisfied teaching slum children to count pennies.
A man with no vision, no goals.
Stay out of this, mamita.
Our family needs to make peace.
You can't uproot bobby.
He's out of your lives.
Unless Well, at this point it's all about money.
No Ningun centavo.
El dinero es mio.
Yeah, that's right.
It is your money.
So buy him out of this.
Is 200,000 enough? More like five.
You'll have it tonight After the office closes.
You've suffered, but someday this will pass.
Somos familia.
Tio nando.
I'm sad you're leaving our family, sobrino.
Take my word, for now it's for the best.
I don't understand that kind of thinking, But it's your life.
Hey! Put it down! Put it down.
Now back away from it.
Hands above your head, turn around.
You have the right to remain silent.
Anything you say can and will be used against you In a court of law I blamed you, papito, But, uh, she's much harder than I thought.
We've arrested your brother.
Okay, there is no discussion until I call our lawyer.
Mrs.
Caldera, we know why you wanted your son dead, And we know why you ordered your brother To kill ryan foley.
This empire is yours, not the senator's.
I will not respond to any of these accus- Oh, I see.
The betrayal is now complete.
Angela never betrayed you.
She never broke from your plan.
The official family bio praises you For nurturing troubled young women.
You singled out angela, mentored her.
Yes And made her a daughter, Only to have her shame me.
We know from angela's phone records She called you from miami.
So you knew her travel plans, you called nando, And had nando kill ryan foley.
This is absurd.
It was important that angela see ryan's body.
It was a warning that nobody leaves your fold.
But if you knew I was sleeping with victor, Why didn't you want me gone? To respond is beneath me.
You had to stay, angela.
You're bobby's mother.
Bobby is the son of real promise.
He'll be to the family all that rick was not.
Angela deserves to know the more profound reason Why marta allowed, In fact, wanted you to seduce her.
She wanted it? She needed a surrogate.
Somebody compliant, obligated to be in the family fold.
There's a paternity test At the hospital san nicolas.
This is a copy of it.
Requested at bobby's birth By marta Caldera castillo.
You couldn't give victor more than one child, could you? Rick, I'm- rick, I'm so sorry.
Yeah.
We both qualify as damaged goods.
Hear him.
Even now, weakness.
From grammar school, when he would come home crying, A cowardly boy, A victim of bullies, We knew.
Victor and I knew we had a problem, And I vowed to resolve it.
Is it so wrong to want a child To honor the castillo-caldera name? The crime isn't wanting a son.
The crime is lying and killing to have one.
Senator, call your lawyer.
You're gonna be surrendering at centre street.
Get in.
