WEBVTT - Deep Cover Season Two Trailer

0:00:15.316 --> 0:00:26.276
<v Speaker 1>Pushkin. As far as I'm concerned, I'm a dead man

0:00:26.396 --> 0:00:31.116
<v Speaker 1>right now. This is Bob Cooley, or I should say

0:00:31.436 --> 0:00:36.356
<v Speaker 1>this was Bob Cooley when I say I'm dead, Maybe

0:00:36.396 --> 0:00:38.916
<v Speaker 1>not even physically dead, but I'm dead in terms of

0:00:39.116 --> 0:00:43.756
<v Speaker 1>Robert Cooley no longer exists. It all started back in

0:00:43.796 --> 0:00:47.276
<v Speaker 1>the nineteen seventies when Bob was a lawyer in Chicago.

0:00:48.156 --> 0:00:51.636
<v Speaker 1>A powerful mobster asked Bob to fix a case, a

0:00:51.756 --> 0:00:55.796
<v Speaker 1>murder case, so a hitman could get off scott free.

0:00:56.236 --> 0:00:58.876
<v Speaker 1>If you say you can do it and you can't,

0:00:59.196 --> 0:01:01.076
<v Speaker 1>that could be a problem. I know what that means.

0:01:01.076 --> 0:01:02.916
<v Speaker 1>It means you get an extra hole in your head.

0:01:03.676 --> 0:01:06.876
<v Speaker 1>It turns out Bob was really good at fixing cases,

0:01:07.396 --> 0:01:10.076
<v Speaker 1>and he did it for years until one day he

0:01:10.196 --> 0:01:13.636
<v Speaker 1>decided to switch sides, go over to the FBI, and

0:01:13.756 --> 0:01:19.996
<v Speaker 1>betray the mob. The moment I put the wire around

0:01:19.996 --> 0:01:23.676
<v Speaker 1>the first time, my life was over. I couldn't ever

0:01:23.916 --> 0:01:27.436
<v Speaker 1>practice law anymore. I couldn't never stay in the city anymore.

0:01:29.956 --> 0:01:35.196
<v Speaker 1>Bob could give us judges, lawyers, police officers, politicians. He

0:01:35.276 --> 0:01:38.756
<v Speaker 1>could wire up against those people and go be Bob Cooley.

0:01:39.316 --> 0:01:42.316
<v Speaker 1>I would come into the office in the morning and

0:01:42.356 --> 0:01:45.796
<v Speaker 1>if he didn't call me right away. I didn't know

0:01:45.996 --> 0:01:49.956
<v Speaker 1>if he was in a trunk somewhere yet. If it

0:01:49.996 --> 0:01:52.436
<v Speaker 1>ever got out, they would kill me in a heartbeat.

0:01:52.756 --> 0:01:55.836
<v Speaker 1>Or approximately five years, a Chicago lawyer has been a

0:01:55.916 --> 0:01:59.996
<v Speaker 1>government informants, secretly recording conversations with some of this city's

0:02:00.036 --> 0:02:02.996
<v Speaker 1>more than shakers. If you're wondering why would a guy

0:02:03.036 --> 0:02:06.876
<v Speaker 1>like Bob Cooley just decide to flip, well, you're not alone.

0:02:07.276 --> 0:02:10.036
<v Speaker 1>I've wondered the same thing myself, and I've talked to

0:02:10.156 --> 0:02:15.316
<v Speaker 1>FBI agents, federal prosecutors, and former mobsters. Many of them

0:02:15.396 --> 0:02:21.436
<v Speaker 1>are still wondering. Who was Bob Cooley? Really? I wouldn't

0:02:21.476 --> 0:02:24.516
<v Speaker 1>trust that guy. He looks like a little scum, big layer,

0:02:24.796 --> 0:02:27.316
<v Speaker 1>stool bidgi. He looked like what he was or at like,

0:02:27.596 --> 0:02:30.996
<v Speaker 1>is this guy for real? From my perspective, Bob was

0:02:31.036 --> 0:02:33.396
<v Speaker 1>too good to be true. There's got to be something

0:02:33.396 --> 0:02:36.236
<v Speaker 1>wrong with this. I can say with all certainty. I

0:02:36.276 --> 0:02:38.316
<v Speaker 1>think he's a hero because he didn't have to do

0:02:38.356 --> 0:02:40.476
<v Speaker 1>what he did, and he did it anyway. Is he

0:02:40.516 --> 0:02:44.156
<v Speaker 1>a plant? Is he a double agent? What is he?

0:02:45.436 --> 0:02:49.036
