THE NARRATIVE.

93
00:02:54,966 --> 00:03:01,700
AND HE HAS BEEN THE SPOKESMAN

00:05:58,333 --> 00:06:01,566
VIDEO.

191
00:05:58,633 --> 00:06:03,466
DID THAT GET RESOLVED WHAT

192
00:05:59,966 --> 00:06:04,533
HAPPENED THERE?

193
00:06:01,566 --> 00:06:06,900
>> THERE WERE A LOT OF AMAZING

194
00:06:03,466 --> 00:06:08,200
JOURNALISTS IN CHICAGO WHO

195
00:06:04,533 --> 00:06:09,633
BLAZED THE TRAIL WHICH IS WHY WE

196
00:06:06,900 --> 00:06:10,866
KNOW MORE ABOUT THE SHOOTING

197
00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:14,366
THAN WE KNOW ABOUT THE OTHER

198
00:06:09,633 --> 00:06:16,500
SHOOTINGS IN HISTORY.

199
00:06:10,866 --> 00:06:20,866
CAROL MARIN ONE OF HER BIG

200
00:06:14,366 --> 00:06:22,466
REVELATIONS WAS THAT 87 MINUTES

201
00:06:16,500 --> 00:06:23,333
WERE ERASED FROM THE

202
00:06:20,866 --> 00:06:24,600
SURVEILLANCE CAMERAS IN THE

203
00:06:22,466 --> 00:06:25,666
BURGER KING.

204
00:06:23,333 --> 00:06:27,100
>> AN HOUR-AND-A-HALF.

205
00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:29,066
>> COVERED THE TIME THAT THE

206
00:06:25,666 --> 00:06:30,633
SHOOTING HAPPENED AND WE CALLED

207
00:06:27,100 --> 00:06:32,200
THE ENGINEERS WHO INSTALL THE

208
00:06:29,066 --> 00:06:34,066
SYSTEMS AND THAT IS NOT A THING

209
00:06:30,633 --> 00:06:36,733
THAT CAN HAPPEN.

210
00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:37,933
NOT ONLY WERE THE ORIGINAL

211
00:06:34,066 --> 00:06:39,933
COPIES ERASED BUT THERE ARE

212
00:06:36,733 --> 00:06:42,866
BACKUPS THAT ARE THERE.

213
00:06:37,933 --> 00:06:44,466
AND SOMEONE TOOK THEM OUT.

214
00:06:39,933 --> 00:06:46,400
>> TO A T ALL IN THE CASE

215
00:06:42,866 --> 00:06:47,733
BELIEVE THAT MAYOR RAHM EMANUEL

216
00:06:44,466 --> 00:06:49,866
COVERED THE VIDEO OR HID THE

217
00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:51,466
VIDEO OF THE SHOOTING UNTIL

218
00:06:47,733 --> 00:06:52,333
AFTER HE WAS REELECTED.

219
00:06:49,866 --> 00:06:53,800
DO YOU BELIEVE IT WAS A COVER UP

220
00:06:51,466 --> 00:06:54,900
ON HIS PART?

221
00:06:52,333 --> 00:06:56,333
>> THERE IS NO QUESTION IT WAS A

222
00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:57,100
COVER UP.

223
00:06:54,900 --> 00:06:58,500
THERE ARE STILL QUESTIONS THAT

224
00:06:56,333 --> 00:07:00,866
REMAIN.

225
00:06:57,100 --> 00:07:03,300
THE MAYOR NOW SAYS THAT HE DID

226
00:06:58,500 --> 00:07:05,066
NOT SEE THE VIDEO UNTIL AFTER IT

227
00:07:00,866 --> 00:07:07,866
WAS RELEASED PUBLICLY.

228
00:07:03,300 --> 00:07:09,500
WHETHER HE IS LYING ABOUT WHEN

229
00:07:05,066 --> 00:07:11,133
HE SAW IT OR BEING DEEPLY

230
00:07:07,866 --> 00:07:12,200
DISHONEST BY PRETENDING HE DID

231
00:07:09,500 --> 00:07:13,766
NOT KNOW HOW SEVERE THE CASE IS

232
00:07:11,133 --> 00:07:16,066
THAT IS THE ONLY QUESTION.

233
00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:17,633
WE KNOW HIS TEAM HAD THE VIDEO

234
00:07:13,766 --> 00:07:18,866
HE HAD THE VIDEO HIS TEAM HAD

235
00:07:16,066 --> 00:07:19,966
SEEN IT.

236
00:07:17,633 --> 00:07:22,966
THEY WERE WORRIED AND CONCERNED

237
00:07:18,866 --> 00:07:25,900
ABOUT IT.

238
00:07:19,966 --> 00:07:27,333
AND THE CORPORATION COUNSEL WAS

239
00:07:22,966 --> 00:07:29,633
SENT OUT TO PAY A $5 MILLION

240
00:07:25,900 --> 00:07:32,166
SETTLEMENT BEFORE THERE WAS A

241
00:07:27,333 --> 00:07:33,566
LAWSUIT TO DELAY THE VIDEO

242
00:07:29,633 --> 00:07:36,566
RELEASE UNTIL AFTER HE WON

243
00:07:32,166 --> 00:07:38,633
REELECTION.

244
00:07:33,566 --> 00:07:40,166
>> AND THE INTERVIEW WITH ANITA

245
00:07:36,566 --> 00:07:41,600
ALVAREZ SHE CALLED YOU UP AND

246
00:07:38,633 --> 00:07:43,133
WANTED ANOTHER INTERVIEW AFTER

247
00:07:40,166 --> 00:07:43,600
SHE LEFT OFFICE.

248
00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:44,933
WHAT DID SHE SAY ABOUT RAHM

249
00:07:43,133 --> 00:07:46,400
EMANUEL?

250
00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:46,700
>> ONE OF THE GREAT THINGS ABOUT

251
00:07:44,933 --> 00:07:50,033
FOLLOWING THE STORY FOR THREE

252
00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:51,133
YEARS.

253
00:07:46,700 --> 00:07:52,966
WE GOT TO INTERVIEW PEOPLE AT

254
00:07:50,033 --> 00:07:56,066
MULTIPLE POINTS.

255
00:07:51,133 --> 00:07:57,566
ALVAREZ WAS THE STATE'S ATTORNEY

256
00:07:52,966 --> 00:07:59,200
AND AFTER SHE IS OUSTED FROM

257
00:07:56,066 --> 00:08:01,233
POWER SHE MIGHT BE WILLING TO

258
00:07:57,566 --> 00:08:02,233
SPEAK MORE OPENLY.

259
00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:04,833
SHE IS CERTAIN THE MAYOR SAW THE

260
00:08:01,233 --> 00:08:07,300
VIDEO BEFOREHAND.

261
00:08:02,233 --> 00:08:08,933
I DON'T WANT TO PRETEPID LIKE

262
00:08:04,833 --> 00:08:09,233
RAHM EMANUEL IS A BAD GUY IS THE

263
00:08:07,300 --> 00:08:11,566
EVIL PERSON AT THE CENTER OF

264
00:08:08,933 --> 00:08:13,333
THIS.

265
00:08:09,233 --> 00:08:15,433
>> SHE ALSO BELIEVES THAT

266
00:08:11,566 --> 00:08:16,033
EMANUEL POLITICALLY WAS GOING TO

267
00:08:13,333 --> 00:08:16,466
TRY AND BLAME HER FOR THE WHOLE

268
00:08:15,433 --> 00:08:18,700
THING?

269
00:08:16,033 --> 00:08:20,300
>> YEAH.

270
00:08:16,466 --> 00:08:21,800
I MEAN, EVERYONE SEES THEMSELVES

271
00:08:18,700 --> 00:08:23,100
AS A FALL GUY IN THIS.

272
00:08:20,300 --> 00:08:25,233
LIKE GARRY McCARTHY WAS FIRED

273
00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:27,400
IMMEDIATELY AFTERWARDS AND HE

274
00:08:23,100 --> 00:08:29,466
CLAIMS HE WAS A FALL GUY TAKING

275
00:08:25,233 --> 00:08:31,066
FALL FOR THIS.

276
00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:33,100
AND ALVAREZ, THE POLITICAL

277
00:08:29,466 --> 00:08:35,633
ESTABLISHMENT DID NOT BACK HER

278
00:08:31,066 --> 00:08:36,933
UP AND SHE LOST HER REELECTION

279
00:08:33,100 --> 00:08:38,800
BID AND SEES HERSELF BEING

280
00:08:35,633 --> 00:08:39,666
THROWN UNDER THE BUS.

281
00:08:36,933 --> 00:08:41,433
>> DID YOU TRY TO INTERVIEW RAHM

282
00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:44,066
EMANUEL?

283
00:08:39,666 --> 00:08:45,066
>> TRIED CONSTANTLY WE SPENT A

284
00:08:41,433 --> 00:08:46,566
YEAR SITTING IN HIS PRESS

285
00:08:44,066 --> 00:08:48,266
PERSON'S OFFICE TRYING TO

286
00:08:45,066 --> 00:08:49,133
CONVINCE HIM THAT IT WAS GOOD TO

287
00:08:46,566 --> 00:08:50,833
GO ON CAMERA.

288
00:08:48,266 --> 00:08:52,633
THAT IS --

289
00:08:49,133 --> 00:08:54,700
THAT KIND OF LACK OF

290
00:08:50,833 --> 00:08:56,666
TRANSPARENCY TO REFUSE TO

291
00:08:52,633 --> 00:08:58,733
ADDRESS AT ALL THE MOST PRESSING

292
00:08:54,700 --> 00:08:59,166
STORY IN YOUR CITY AT THE TIME?

293
00:08:56,666 --> 00:09:00,533
IT WAS REALLY SHOCKING TO US

294
00:08:58,733 --> 00:09:01,000
ACTUALLY.

295
00:08:59,166 --> 00:09:03,600
>> WHAT IS THE TAKEAWAY FOR THE

296
00:09:00,533 --> 00:09:05,500
NATION?

297
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:08,333
>> I MEAN, THESE ISSUES AROUND

298
00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:09,800
RACE AND CRIMINAL JUSTICE ARE

299
00:09:05,500 --> 00:09:12,033
NOT JUST UNFOLDING IN CHICAGO.

300
00:09:08,333 --> 00:09:13,900
EVERY MAJOR CITY IN AMERICA IS

301
00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:15,566
IN THE MIDDLE OF THIS RECKONING.

302
00:09:12,033 --> 00:09:17,700
BECAUSE OF THE WORK OF CHICAGO

303
00:09:13,900 --> 00:09:19,633
JOURNALISTS AND THE SUSTAINED

304
00:09:15,566 --> 00:09:22,566
COMMUNITY ATTENTION THAT HAS

305
00:09:17,700 --> 00:09:24,433
BROUGHT TRANSPARENCY IT ALLOWS

306
00:09:19,633 --> 00:09:25,066
US TO SEE STEP-BY-STEP HOW THIS

307
00:09:22,566 --> 00:09:26,933
SYSTEM WORKS THAT THE MAKES THE

308
00:09:24,433 --> 00:09:30,533
CASES DISAPPEAR.

309
00:09:25,066 --> 00:09:32,200
IT DOESN'T WORK EVERYWHERE.

310
00:09:26,933 --> 00:09:32,533
AND ALSO, THIS IS AN

311
00:09:30,533 --> 00:09:34,833
UNPRECEDENTED MOMENT ON SO MANY

312
00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:36,833
LEVELS.

313
00:09:32,533 --> 00:09:38,200
THE FIRST TIME IN THE 180-YEAR

314
00:09:34,833 --> 00:09:39,700
HISTORY OF THE CHICAGO POLICE

315
00:09:36,833 --> 00:09:42,366
DEPARTMENT THAT AN OFFICER HAS

316
00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:43,133
BEEN CHARGED WITH MURDERING A

317
00:09:39,700 --> 00:09:46,000
BLACK CITIZEN AND THEY WERE

318
00:09:42,366 --> 00:09:47,933
CONVICTED.

319
00:09:43,133 --> 00:09:49,500
AS WILL CALLAWAY SAYS THEY WERE

320
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:51,933
CONVICTED BY A MOSTLY WHITE JURY

321
00:09:47,933 --> 00:09:54,700
IN FRONT OF THE ENTIRE NATION.

322
00:09:49,500 --> 00:09:56,400
IT IS AN UNPRECEDENTED MOMENT.

323
00:09:51,933 --> 00:09:58,533
AND A MOMENT THAT IN APROCESS

324
00:09:54,700 --> 00:09:59,333
THAT EVERYONE SHOULD LEARN FROM.
