The first 200 lines.
- Mikey was the reason I became an FBI agent.
And this man who asks for compassion
still won't admit what he did 25 years ago
when he stabbed my little brother.
The guy has cancer, wants to get out of prison early.
I'm Serena Wade.
I wanna make Davis's appeal the center of my film.
He claimed the prosecutor withheld evidence.
- The night Mikey was murdered, he got into a fight
with someone on the beach that wasn't Davis.
There was a witness to this fight
that the prosecutor failed to disclose.
That's her statement, and I need to find her.
I'm sorry you didn't get a fair trial.
I'm sorry for your cancer and your suffering.
But until I know what happened to my brother,
that's all I can apologize for.
I found her--Cassie Fortner.
She runs a Christian rehab clinic in Newark.
- Sir, back of the line, please.
Hey, there's a line, buddy.
I was just in there.
I'm not going to the back of the line.
You have to wait your turn.
- I'm not going to the back of the line.
- Calm down, sir. - I'm not calming down.
I'm not going to the back of the line.
Calm down.
Get back. Everybody get back.
I want my money. - Oh, my God.
- Not just 10,000. I want all of it!
Joe, what are you doing?
Drop the weapon!
Oh! No! No, Joe, please!
Back off.
Come on. Take it easy.
Back off! Now!
Just put the gun down.
Go outside!
Outside!
Agent Scott?
- Ms. Fortner, thank you for seeing me.
Call me Cassie.
I'm a bit nervous.
I've never talked to an FBI agent before.
- We're actually a lot of fun. Just don't tell anyone.
And no, you're not in trouble.
I'm actually here because I need your help.
- This is about that boy from New York
who was murdered on spring break?
Mikey.
He was my little brother.
I didn't know.
I'm so sorry.
Thank you.
So like I said on the phone,
the court is looking into this case again
because new evidence has come up.
Do you remember speaking to a police officer
in Fort Lauderdale
about what you saw on the beach that night?
Yes.
I mean, it was 25 years ago,
and it was a very short conversation.
It's not like I testified at the trial or anything.
- I know you didn't, because the prosecutor
wanted to keep you a secret.
This is the officer's write-up of the conversation you had.
The prosecutor had it in his file the whole time
until a few days ago
when the court made him turn it over.
Have you ever seen this before?
No.
- Does anything jump out at you?
Actually, yes.
I never said they were arguing on the beach.
I said they were fighting--
like, throwing punches at each other.
It was very violent.
Mikey and this white man?
That isn't right, either.
It wasn't a man.
It was a kid, also white.
They looked about the same age.
I just assumed they were drunk spring breakers.
- And you told this to the officer?
- What I said was, they were fighting,
and the boy in the jersey got hit hard and fell,
and he wasn't moving.
That's when I got scared and ran.
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
What jersey?
- Baseball-- New York Mets, number 16.
Cassie, are you sure?
Yes.
I'll admit, I was a different person back then.
I was hardly sober when he interviewed me.
But I remember that jersey and that number 16 very clearly.
I don't know why he didn't put that in here.
- This has been incredibly helpful.
Thank you, Cassie.
Hello?
- Do we still have those old photos we took
from Mom's after we moved her out?
- Yeah, they're in my closet at home, why?
I need you to get them
and bring them to my place right away.
What's going on?
Just grab them and come over.
I gotta take this other call.
Okay.
Barnes, what's up?
- Just checking in. You on your way?
Give me the lowdown.
This was a bank robbery?
Well, it started that way.
Now we've got a barricaded suspect with hostages.
His name's Joe Kysor, 46-year-old male,
longtime customer of the Saybrook branch in Morristown.
Saybrook?
Aren't they the ones dealing with the bank run right now?
Exactly.
Joe wanted to withdraw money from his account.
They told him there was a 10 grand limit per customer.
He said they told him the same thing yesterday
and then the day before.
He just lost it, killed the security guard,
took the manager and a few patrons hostage
when an off-duty cop tried to intervene.
Manager's name is Lethia.
We know what he wants?
We're working on it.
- What's the tactical situation?
SWAT's here.
Kristin's getting us a live link to the surveillance cams.
Also, one of the tellers took Ray around back.
There may be a way in if we need it.
- Barnes, I got it. - It's Remy.
- Oh, hey, I got the bank manager's number.
You want us to wait?
- No, make contact, start a dialogue.
I'll be there as soon as I can.
Okay.
Who is this?
Joe?
- Yeah, this is Joe. Who are you?
- Joe, this is Agent Barnes with the FBI.
Is everybody okay in there?
- Come on, come on. I swear it's in here.
I remember seeing it.
- What photo are you looking for?
- Someone gave us one right after Mikey died.
Yes, here it is.
These are the guys Mikey went to spring break with in 1997.
- Right, they all went to Country Day together.
Yes. Benji, I remember.
And Day was the one who died in the car accident
freshman year of college. - Mm-hmm.
- But this kid? - That's Tony Cain.
They played baseball together.
You wanna tell me what the hell's going on?
- Hana helped me find the witness
the prosecutor failed to disclose.
Her name is Cassie Fortner.
I met with her today, and she told me
it wasn't a white man Mikey was fighting with on the beach.
It was a white kid about his age.
What?
- Not only that, she said one of them
was wearing a Mets jersey, number 16.
- Dwight Gooden, Mikey's favorite player.
That's what he was wearing the night he was killed.
I know.
It was definitely Mikey she saw that night.
The question is,
who is this kid he was fighting with?
- Are you saying you think Mikey
was killed by one of his friends?
I don't know.
But we definitely can't rule it out.
- Joe, I am listening, but all the yelling, it's not helping.
You aren't listening!
Nobody is listening!
How could I rob the bank when it is my money?
They're stealing from me.
- I understand how you feel, but right now,
I just wanna try to find a way to end this all peacefully.
Listen--listen to me.
I got a ten-year-old daughter with stage-five bone cancer,
and the chemo isn't working.
But there's this experimental treatment that might.
And the insurance isn't covering it.
And I have $61,000 in my savings account,
and they won't give it to me.
I can't make a wire transfer.
I can't take out more than 10,000 cash.
Now, is that right?
Tell me, is that fair?
Sheryll, keep him talking.
I can get to him.
