[ woman ] birchfield county
sheriff emergency.
[ man ] I'd like to report...

There's a girl in trouble.
Your name, please.

It's the mill.
It's the bar on mill road.
Sir, your name ?

Would you listen to me,
goddamn it ?

Aah ! Aah !
Stop !
[ honk ]

It's a rape !
There's three or four guys !

There's a whole crowd.
There's a whole crowd !
I will send someone down,

But first
I need your name.
Send somebody !

[ honk ]

[ woman ]
raise your chin.
[ camera shutter clicks ]

What kind of contraceptive
do you normally use ?
I.U.D.

When was your last period ?
Show me your hands,

Uh, 10...

12 days.
Bad cramps.

- What's your usual cycle ?
- Turn around.
Raise your gown, please.

26, 27 days.

Aren't you going
to examine me ?

Your leg.
I need some more
history first.

Your leg, please.

Before the incident,
when was your last
intercourse ?

Turn around.
Lower your gown, please.

- A while.
- Can you be
more specific ?

Please, lower your gown.

Uh... Two weeks.

- Are you sure ?
- Yeah.

Sarah,
have you ever had
a venereal disease ?

No.

Hi, sarah.
I'm carol hunnicutt
from the rape center.

Is there anyone
you'd like me to call ?

Well, I'm here to help.
So, if there's
anything I can do,

Let me know, okay ?

Try to relax.

You're tensing.
Easy.

Breathe deeply for me.
[ inhales ]

Easy.

Easy.
One more. Hold on.

- I'm going to comb
for hair, sarah.
- Not yours. Theirs.

Now, let's
get you down.

I want to scrape
under your nails...

In case you scratched
one of them.

[ knock on door ]

Sarah, this is
kathryn murphy.

She'll be the deputy
district attorney
for your case.

Hi, sarah.

You can take
a shower now
and a douche.

The ladies' room
is down the hall
and on your left.

I brought you
something to wear.

I hope you don't
mind gray.

Have you got
any mouthwash ?
Sure.

[ sighs ]
a lot of alcohol.
Legally drunk.

And grass, too. What else ?
What difference
does that make ?

- She was raped by three men.
- I'm not a rape counselor.

I'm a prosecutor,
and I have to make
a rape case.

Then go prosecute.

I'll wait in
the supervisor's office.

[ woman on p.A. ]
surgical resident
to the e.R. Stat.

Where's murphy ?
Thank you.
101.

And I heard
somebody screaming,

And it was me.
[ knock on door ]

- Sarah, this is
detective duncan.
- Dunc. How you doing ?

Would you recognize
any of the men ?
Yeah.

The mill is still open.
We'd like you to go
over there with us...

And see if you could
make a positive I.D.

We'd be right there
with you.

If you want to get them,
I need your help.

Yeah.

[ murphy ]
do you recognize
any of your attackers ?

- Yeah.
- [ murphy ] let's go.

The guy in
the yellow t-shirt.

Check the back room.

The one in the vest.

Are there
any others ?

No.

[ murphy ]
john, could you take her
out to my car, please ?

I'll be there
in a minute.

Excuse me, sir.

I'm kathryn murphy,

Deputy district attorney
in birchfield county.

We have a report
of a felony committed
on these premises.

Felony ?
I have a search warrant
signed by judge cutler.

This is detective duncan.
He's in charge
of the investigation.

You want to turn down
the television set
so we can talk in peace ?

Hey, polito !
How you doing ?

I didn't think
I was gonna see you
for a couple of years.

♪ [ humming ]

The college one
wasn't there.

Kurt, danny,
and the college one.

My girlfriend sally
was there.

Bob's the college
one. Bob.

Did you go to college ?

Oh, yeah.
You're a lawyer.
Of course. Stupid.

Turn right here.

Uh,
listen, uh...

Listen,
maybe you should just
leave me off here, you know,

'cause-- 'cause...

He's probably asleep.

He likes to get stoned,

Listen to music,
and fall asleep.

You okay ?

Yeah...

My eyes hurt.

Are you married ?
No. You ?

No. My ma was married
for 10 years,

But he left
when I was born.

Are you into
astrology at all ?

Um... No, I'm not.

That's too bad.
I could do your chart
for you.

When were you born ?
1959.

Oh.

I sure hope
I can wake him up.

You want me
to come in with you ?

Can I ask you
a question ?

Does my face
look really bad ?

No.

He likes to touch my face.

I wish I knew
what to say.

What ?

I said I wish
I knew what to say.

You want to take
a drive ?

Get some air,
cool out.

No.

Okay.

I'll be back
in a while.

[ door closes ]

[ motorcycle driving away ]

[ woman ] hello ?
Hi. It's me.

Sarah, it's awfully late.

Is something wrong ?

No. Nothing's wrong.
No special reason.

I just figured
I'd say hello.

You lost your job ?
No.

How's amos ?

Gone.
Already ?

Thanks a lot, sarah.

I wasn't making
fun of you, ma.
I was--

Are you calling
for some money ?

No. I don't need
any money.

I was just thinking...

I was thinking
maybe I'd drive out,

Maybe I'd come out
for a week or so.

You're in trouble,
right ?

No, I'm not
in any trouble, ma.
I just figured--

I'm going away.
Where ?

Florida.
Oh. Oh.

That sounds
like fun.

Listen, ma, you have
a good time, okay ?

Hey, how's sadi doing ?

She's fine.
I just got her a new
flea collar, so...

Oh. Will I talk
to you soon ?

Yeah, real soon.

Um... It's kind
of expensive to call.
That's why I don't--

Okay.
I've got to get up
in two hours.

Yeah. All right.

Uh, you go back
to sleep, ma.

You take care.

Bye.
Bye.

- [ sarah ] it's the one
in the green sweater.
- The green sweater.

All right.
You want to back up, boys.
Just a second.

County sheriff.
Your name bob ?
Yeah.

Put your hands
on the car.
Why ?

Because you're under arrest.
Put your hands on the car !
For what ?

For what ?
Put your hands on the car !

"you have the right
to remain silent.

"if you give up the right
to remain silent,

"anything you say can
and will be used against you
in a court of law.

"you have the right to
an attorney during questioning.
Paul, call my dad !

"if you cannot afford
an attorney, one will be
appointed to you by the court.

You have the right
to make one phone call."

Do you understand the rights
I just read to you ?
Yes.

We expect to indict
for first-degree
felony.

My client has no
prior record.

There's a genuine risk
of the defendants
fleeing the jurisdiction.

I'd like him
released to his family.

The victim has
legitimate concern
for her safety if--

$10,000 each.

Could I have
a glass of water,
please ?

She's not moving in.
It's only two days.

That's what
she said last time,

And she was here
for three months.

- Miss !
- Yeah.

I ordered this well-done.
It's raw.

Sorry. I'll have it
for you in a minute.
No problem.

Yeah, and I asked
for ketchup.

I'm just going
a little senile today.

Three men accused of raping
a woman at a local bar
were released on $10,000 bail.

Lawyers for the accused men
expressed confidence...

That the facts of the case
will reveal...

That the young woman
was not actually raped.

Our defense is simple.
There was no rape.

The so-called victim
consented enthusiastically
to all of the alleged acts.

She put on a show.
Pure and simple.

[ whistling ]
thank you, marcia.

The on-again, off-again debate
between the five candidates
vying for the council seat...

Of daniel fine
now appears to be on again.

Representatives
for the candidates
met for four hours...

Behind closed doors
at the federal--

All right. Bye.
[ knock on door ]

Who is it ?
Kathryn murphy.

Why did you let them
out on bail ?

I didn't let them out.
It's standard procedure.

Until a jury
finds you guilty,

You're free
if you can post bail.

The guy on tv
made it sound like
I did a live sex show.

Well, that's not
the last time that
that's gonna happen.

May I come in ?

Oh, yeah.
Come on in.

- [ dog barks ]
- sadi, shut up.

The bartender at the dugout
said you were sick.

You went
looking for me ?

Oh, well, I had
to go to the doctor,

And nobody
at work knows.

Come on, sadi.
Um... You want a seat ?

Uh... Would you like
something to drink ?

I could really
use a drink.

Um, thank you, no.

Just to smooth out
the edges a little bit,
you know ?

Uh, listen, what time
were you born ?

I already told you
I didn't believe
in that astrology.

Oh, so what ? I do.
What time ?

At night, 7:00.
August 9th.
Oh, where ?

Portland.
Do you always drink
to smooth out the edges ?

No. No. Sometimes
I'll take a hit of pot.
Why ? You want some ?

Did you have anything to drink
before you went to the mill
or smoke anything ?

Half a joint,
a couple beers.
Nothing heavy.

And while
you were there ?

I don't know.
I wasn't falling-down
drunk or anything.

How were you dressed ?

What's that
supposed to mean ?

It means
were you dressed
provocatively ?

Showing
a lot of cleavage,
see-through blouse ?

What the fuck difference
does it matter ?
They tore it off me !

Did how you dress
make those guys think they
could have sex with you ?

Did you put on a show ?
What the hell
are you talking about ?

You saw me at the hospital !
You think I asked for that ?

If that's what you think,
you get the fuck
out of my house !

Why didn't you tell me
that you had a record ?

Fuck you !

I ain't got no record.

You want to tell me
about it ?

All right. Look...

I was-- I was helping
my girlfriend move
with a u-haul.

We were going through jersey,
and we ran into this cop.

He pulls us over
and starts looking
through her desk,

And all sort of stuff
she's got in the back
and he finds 1/2 gram of coke.

It was nothing big.
It was her desk.
It was her stuff.

- Why is it on the books ?
- I don't know.
You tell me.

I mean, my record
was definitely, uh...

Expunged ?
Yeah, expunged.

Have you made love
to more than one man
at a time ?

What the fuck kind
of question is that ?

The kind of question
you're gonna be asked
on the stand.

You'll be asked if larry
or any other man has ever
hit you, if you liked it.

You're gonna be asked
about your drug bust...

And how many drinks a day you
have to smooth out the edges
and how many joints.

How often you go to bars alone
and whether or not you wear
underwear when you go,

Which diseases you've caught
and how many abortions
you've had.

I will object
to those questions.

Sometimes the judge
will sustain me,

But sometimes not.

- That ain't fair.
- Sarah, you're a witness.

It's the defense's job
to show that you're
a rotten witness...

- Because you've got
a rotten character.
- I got a rotten character ?

You ain't gonna defend me
because I'm some low-class
bimbo, right ?

- I didn't say that.
- Will those bastards
go to jail ?

Is that
what you want ?

I want those motherfuckers
put away forever.

[ murphy ]
sarah said that you were
here with her that night.

Uh, yeah, I was here,
but I didn't see
what happened.

But if sarah says
she was raped,
she was raped.

Can you identify
any of the men
who assaulted her ?

Uh-uh. I was out there.
There were a bunch of guys
blocking the doors.

So I really couldn't see.

It was the end of my shift,
so I left while
she was still in there.

Do you know
any of these guys ?

Uh-uh.
There's a bunch of them
that were real rowdy.

You know,
yelling, clapping.

I really just thought
she was partying,
you know.

Well, is there anyone
that you can identify ?

Like how ?
Did you notice anything
different about any of them ?

Let's say long hair,
beard, mustache,

Birthmark,
bandana, jewelry,

Scar, tattoo ?
Tattoo, yeah.

Well, can you
describe it ?

A scorpion.
This one guy,
he had a scorpion.

How many drinks
would you say she'd had ?

I don't know.
She was pretty loaded.

She just had this
big fight with larry--

The guy she lives with--

She just needed
to cool out a little.

What do you know
about larry ?

Not much,
except he's an asshole.

I mean,
he says he's a musician,
but he's just a dealer,

And he rides
a motorcycle.

Come on, man,
give me a break.

These guys
are my bread and butter.

You sure you didn't
see anyone else ?

Some kid
I never seen before...

Played one of the video
machines all night.
Who was with him ?

Nobody I saw.

I'll tell you what,
jesse.

I'll inform the state
liquor authority...

How you kept
serving up the booze...

While a violent felony
was being committed
in your back room.

Ready ?
Uh-huh.
Thanks, jesse.

We'll talk.

I need these by 11:00.
See you tomorrow.

Is he free ?

Game time. Let's go.

I know. Just a second.

I don't believe this.
I really don't believe this.

- Tina, where are the tickets ?
- Gave them to me to hold.

How you doing on tobias ?

We'll talk about it
at the game.

Tina, if charley calls,
I'll be home after 11:00.

Hey, ref, crosschecking !
Open your eyes, will you ?

Take him out, donovan !
Take him out !

You two, play hockey !
Did you see that ?

- Thanks.
- Thanks.

If I take it to trial,
they'll destroy her.

She walked in alone,
she got drunk, stoned.

She came on to them.
She's got a prior
for possession.

That's inadmissible.
Sure, but they'll
ask her about it.

I'll object,
but the jury will hear it.
She's a sitting duck.

I read her q and a.

Gang rape
on a pinball machine.
It's an ugly case.

- Is it a winnable case ?
- We understand that you
love to win.

But I can't let you
dismiss this because
you don't have a lock.

A lock ?
I don't have a case.

Her girlfriend
didn't see anything.

The bartender
didn't see anything.

The others either
didn't see anything...

Or didn't think
anything special
was going on.

I got polito,
but the minute the defense
brings up he's on probation,

They'll know
that we squeezed him.

He's useless.
What about the guy
who reported it ?

We have his voice
on tape, but we don't
know who he is...

Or where to look for him.
Do you believe
she was raped ?

Yes, but
I can't win it.

They can't walk.
So make a deal
and you put them away.

A deal with what ?
You got enough.
Go for rape two.

Any felony, as long as
it's a violent one--
uh, assault,

- Coercion, reckless
endangerment, menacing--
- I can't do that.

You said she was raped,
so make a deal
and put them away.

I don't care
if they only get six months.

Just make a deal
and put them away.

[ buzzer sounds ]

[ man on tv ]
you understand, mr. Polito,

That you'll be
testifying before
a grand jury...

And at a trial ?
Yeah, I got that.

And you realize
you'll be testifying...

Against people
you're acquainted with ?
Yeah.

Have I or anyone
in the sheriff's department...

Or anyone in the district
attorney's office...

Offered you any inducement
to testify ?

Money, gifts, anything ?
No.

Thank you, mr. Polito.

Well, he's just a taste.

The bar was filled
with witnesses.

We anticipate that
they'll all testify
for the people.

Anticipate ?
You'll have to
drag them into court.

They'll be useless
because they were too drunk.

Whatever you say.
Keep in mind
that under the law...

We don't need corroboration
to prove rape.

We do have
medical evidence.
No doubt about penetration.

And physical evidence.
No doubt about force.

- What will you take ?
- Rape one.

We were thinking of,
say, sexual abuse two.

Rape one.
Maybe I could
convince the judge...

Not to give them
the maximum.
I'd rather go to trial.

Fine.
Oh, uh, by the way,
no separate deals.

One goes to trial,
all go to trial.

What would you say
to sexual abuse one ?

- I'd say rape one.
- Kathryn, cut the crap.

Polito looks like shit.
If you had anybody better,
you'd have shown it.

And your complaining witness ?
She walked into a bar,
got loaded, and stoned...

And did everything
but yank their dicks.
No jury will buy her.

What would you say
to rape two...

With a recommendation
for one year ?

I'd say go to hell.

Miss murphy, are you sure
you're in a position
to be quite so adamant ?

- A rape trial is--
- always a gamble. I agree.
I know your reputation.

But look at
these photographs.

This is what the jury
is gonna see, and they're
gonna see the girl, too.

She's tiny. She's the most
defenseless-looking thing
you ever saw.

If we go to trial
and you lose, I'm gonna
ask for 15 to 25,

And I'll get it.
18 months.

- Stop dancing.
- What's your best offer ?

Two to five.
Rape two.

With luck, your boys will
be out in nine months.
That's a gift.

On one condition.
I'll accept for my client
if the charge is changed...

To one without
the sexual element.

He's a kid of 22.
He's an "a" student.
He's got a future.

I can't do that.

He won't plead guilty
to a sexual offense.

Assault ?
Coercion ?

- Reckless endangerment ?
Malicious--
- reckless endangerment.

[ woman on tv ]
the theft occurred
about 5:30 a.M.

When they were
entering their house.

[ man on tv ]
three men accused of raping
a young woman in a local bar...

Pleaded guilty today
to a reduced charge
of reckless endangerment.

They were sentenced to
2 1/2 to 5 years in prison.

Neither
the district attorney's office
nor spokesmen for the defense...

Would officially comment
on the plea bargain.

No explanation was given
for the reduction in charges...

From rape to
reckless endangerment.

A source hinted that the woman
who was the alleged victim
in the case...

Would not have made
a strong witness for the state.

Oh, come on !
You ?

It was--
it was red.
Red ? Oh !

Where do you
want these ?

Um... There.

I think
this looks raw.
[ doorbell rings ]

Oh, shit !
Thanks.
I'll get it.

Here we go.
This is an experiment.
You all be kind.

Excuse me !
Excuse me !

You double-crossing bitch !
You sold me out !

Did you do this ?
Is this what you did ?

I wouldn't make
a good witness ?

I'm too fragile !
My past is too questionable.

I'm a drunk !
I'm a pothead,
a drug addict !

I'm some slut that
got bounced around
in a bar !

So I didn't get raped.
I never got raped.
Of course you were raped.

How come doesn't it say
"sarah tobias was raped" ?

What the fuck is
reckless endangerment ?

It's a felony that carries
the same prison term
as rape.

You asked me to put them away,
and that's exactly what I did.

Who the hell
are you to decide...

That I ain't good enough
to be a witness ?

If I went to law school
and didn't live in
some goddamn dump--

I understand how you feel.
I did my best.

You understand--
you don't understand
how I feel !

I'm standing there
with my pants down...

And my crotch hung out
for the world to see,

And three guys
are sticking it to me,

And a bunch
of other guys are
yelling and clapping,

And you're telling me
that's the best
you can do !

Oh, if that's
the best you can do,
then your best sucks !

I don't know
what you got for
selling me out,

But I sure as shit
hope it's worth it !

[ slams door ]

Wow.
What did you do ?

Ha ha ha !
That looks weird.

I needed a change.

Hey, it's nothing heavy.
It's just, uh...

I'm not used to it.

Stop.
All right ? Stop.

When are you going
to get over this, sarah ?

You're gonna have to
snap out of this pretty soon
'cause it's getting boring.

Get out of here.

Fine.

Be back in a couple hours.
No !

You get the fuck out
and don't come back.

Shit. You can cut
your fucking hair
any way you want.

This is my house.
I don't want you in it.
Now get out.

Fine. I'm gone.

[ starts motorcycle,
drives away ]

You caught me.
I'm sorry.

This sounds like
the worst kind of crap,
but I seen you somewhere--

You're right.
It's the worst
kind of crap.

I have seen you.

- You're a friend of johnny
alworth's sister, right ?
- No.

It was duck island.
Last Sunday afternoon.
Softball game.

Your hair was different.
No.

Yes. It was longer.
Look, I live
with somebody, okay ?

All right ?
I got it.
Sorry.

He's a lucky guy.

You sure you don't want
to go out tonight ? Huh ?

Oh, I got a smile !

Well, it's a start.

Hey, sexy sadi,
what about it ?

I live with somebody !
I don't mind.
I'm liberated.

Well, I do. I mind.
I do know you,
sexy sadi.

You just got me mixed up
with somebody else.
Nope.

You're the girl from
the mill that night, hmm ?

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha !

I remember sexy sadi !
I do know you.
Am I right ?

Hey, sexy sadi.
Hey ! Hey !

Hey, I know you !
Oh, do I remember you !

Ha ha ha !
Ha ha ha ha ha ha !

Hey, look, lady !
Look, lady !

Ha ha ha ha ho ho ho !

Hey, want to play pinball ?

Ha ha ha ha !

I've always paid my bills !
I'm tired of this !
Come on, let's go !

I'm sorry.
Come on !

I'm sorry about this,

But I do know that
I did make the payment.

There's no records ?
I just
don't find them.

- Well, my husband--
- come on, babe !

Okay, I'll phone you.
Thanks.
Fine.

You can go in now.
Keep it short.

Thanks.

Sarah ?

What happened ?

"want to play pinball ?"
what ?

That's what he said.

"you want to play pinball ?"

He sees
I'm a piece of shit.

Everybody figures
I'm a piece of shit.

Why not ?
Y-you told them that.

I never got to tell
nobody nothin'.

You did all
my talking for me.

Uh...
I don't get it.

I thought
you were on my side.

You told me
you were on my side.

Why'd you do that ?

[ man ]
sorry, officer, but it's
just one of those days.

I pay my bills !
I pay all my bills !
What happens ?

Come on !
I just want to tell
the officer.

I'm sorry. Okay ?

How's your head ?
Oh, great ! Just great.

Just wait here.
I'll go get the car.

Excuse me, sir.
I'm sorry to bother you.

What exactly happened ?

Exactly...
She rammed my truck.

I was minding my own business.
She drove her car
into my truck, all right ?

Do you know why ?
How do I know ?
She's nuts !

Do you know her ?

No. She's a whore !
Last time I saw her,
she was doing a sex show.

Come on !
You watched ?

Bet your ass.
She put on
a great show.

I thought
she was raped.

Raped ? She fucked
a bar-full of guys,
then she blames them !

She loved it !
She had an audience.
She did the show of her life.

Come on, move over.
Next time she does
another show,

Tell her I'll be right there
to cheer her on !

[ tape recorder ]
I'd like to report
there's a girl in trouble.

Sir, your name, please.
There's a girl in trouble.
It's in a bar on mill road.

Sir, I'm sorry.
I must have your name.

Okay.
There's three or four guys.
I don't know.

There's a whole crowd.
I will--

[ rewind tape recorder ]

Okay.
There's three or four guys.
I don't know.

There's a whole crowd.
I will--

[ rewinds ]
...Three or four guys.

I will send someone.
I need your name first.

Please send somebody,
okay ?

"...Or otherwise attempts
to persuade another person...

To commit a felony."

Please, I know about
criminal solicitation.

But in this case, it simply
doesn't apply. It's not
the intent of the statute.

Listen again.
"a person is guilty
of criminal solicitation...

"if he commands,
induces, entreats,

Or otherwise attempts
to persuade another person
to commit a felony."

You can read it to me
till you're blue in the face.

I am not going to let you
prosecute a bunch of spectators.

They're not spectators.
They solicited the rape.

Do you want to ask a jury
to lock up people for
clapping and cheering ?

Clapping, cheering,
pushing, goading.

Getting the rape going
and keeping it going.

What happens if you lose ?
You'll look like an incompetent.

If you win,
you'll look like
a vengeful bitch.

Either way,
you hurt yourself
and this office.

Now drop it.
You've got more
important things to do.

- No, I haven't.
- You haven't got more
important things to do...

Than go to trial
with a sure loser ?

What the hell
has gotten into you ?
We owe her.

Owe her what ?
We put the rapists away.

I owe her.

I see. You want
to spend my money...

To put a bunch
of spectators on trial,

A trial you'll lose
because you owe her !

No ! You don't get to use
this office to pay your debts !

No !

I am going to try this case,
and you're not gonna stop me.
I'm not ?

Kathryn, you're an ace.

You've got
a great future.

Don't put it
in jeopardy.

What are you
gonna do, fire me ?
Go right ahead.

My first case will
be a civil suit against...

The rapists, the solicitors,
the bar, and the state.

I will show that sarah tobias
wound up in the hospital...

Because this office
sold her out.

I will subpoena your records,
put you on the stand,

And cross-examine you
on every sleazy plea bargain
this office ever made.

You go try your case !
You have a good time !

Because win or lose,
you're through !

I made a mistake.

Before I agreed

I should have offered you
the choice of going to trial

I can offer that

will stay in jail

And the rape
will go on record.

The deal won't matter

The ones

I didn't see a thing.

Yes, you did.

You were in the room all night.
You saw everything.

Those other guys
didn't do anything.

They probably
didn't even know
what was going on.

It was like a show.
Big deal. They watched.

I bet if you asked
a 1,000 people,

It's no crime.

They did more than watch,
and that is a crime.

Please be seated.

- Miss tobias, on the night
of the rape at the mill--
- objection !

These men are not
on trial for rape.

Your honor,
it is imperative
that the jury understands...

What was happening
to miss tobias...

Before, during,
and after the rape.

Miss murphy, you may continue
your line of questioning,
but be brief.

Thank you,
your honor.

Miss tobias,
can you please tell us
what happened...

That night at the mill ?

Well, my boyfriend--
ahem !

My boyfriend and I
had kind of a fight.

So, I got in my car
and I drove...

To see my girlfriend sally
at the mill.

I figured she'd
be getting off work,
and we could talk.

She works there ?

Yeah. She's a waitress,
just like me.

So, anyway,
she was on a break.

We were sitting
in this booth talking,

And, uh, this guy danny
sent over a couple drinks.

She knew him,
so we took the drinks.

He sat down,
and, um, we started talking.

And he was--

He was funny.
You know, he had a line.

So, uh,
what happened next ?

Uh, a bunch of guys
went into the back room
to play pinball.

So me and danny went in
and we started playing
with this guy bob.

And, um,
after I finished my turn,
I went to go have a smoke,

You know,
smoke a little pot.

And, um...

Then somebody put
some money into the jukebox,

And this song I really liked
came on the jukebox.

So I-- I started to dance,

And... And then
danny comes up,

And he starts
dancin' with me...

Real... Real close,
you know, tight close.

And then he kissed me.

I'm sorry, miss tobias.
Could you please
speak up ?

He kissed me.

Did you try
to stop him ?

No. I let him kiss me
because I figured
he was drunk and stoned,

And that he would kiss me
and he leave me alone.

But then he...

Put his hand up my shirt
and grabbed at my breast.

I tried to push him away,
but he kept pulling me closer.

And put his hand
on my throat.

And he's a really
strong guy, you know.

And the next thing
I knew--

Please go on,
miss tobias.

He was squeezing my throat
with his hands,

And he pushed me down
on the pinball machine.

And he ripped my shirt.

He lifted my skirt.

He pulled down my underpants
really, really hard.

You know.

I get--

I wanted to move.

I wanted to move,
but he was holding me
down really hard.

He was jamming--
he was kissing me
very hard,

And he was jammin' his hand
up my crotch.

And I heard a bunch
of people yellin',

"hold her down !
Hold her down !"

And then the big guy,
kurt, held my arms down,

And I could hear them
yelling and clapping
and cheering.

And then...

Danny put his hands over
my mouth, uh, over my face...

And I shut my eyes.

He was inside of me,

And then...
And then they switched.

I could hear them saying,
"frat boy, frat boy."

And then bob
was inside of me,

And there was all this
yelling and clapping
and laughing.

And then I heard them
calling for kurt,
"needle dick, needle dick."

And then
they switched again,

And kurt
was inside of me.

And they were yelling,
"kurt, kurt, kurt."

And there was--
there was all this--
this chanting.

Please continue,
miss tobias.

What did they chant ?

Something, uh...

"poke that pussy."

The room was full
of people cheering
this on ?

Yeah. I kicked him.
I kicked him really hard,

And I ran
out into the road.

And this guy picked me up
and took me to the hospital.

No further questions,
your honor.

Miss tobias,
my name is ben wainwright.

Now, I know
this isn't easy for you,

So I'm going to ask you
only a handful of questions.

Now, you have testified
that all the men present
were strangers to you.

And you also testified
that while you were on
the pinball machine,

That you mostly kept
your eyes closed.

Is that right ?
Your eyes were closed ?

Yeah, sometimes.

Is it fair to say
you can't tell us
who applauded...

Or who shouted ?
Is that fair ?

Well, I don't--
is it possible that only
one person shouted ?

No. There were...
Different voices.

So at least two then.
Could it have been
only two ?

No. They overlapped.

Miss tobias, you testified
that you were assaulted
by three men.

Is that right ?
Yes.

Okay. Is it possible--

And I'm just
saying possible--

That the only ones who shouted
were among your assaulters ?

No.

No. The voices were coming
from further away.
Okay.

Miss tobias...

You had had several drinks.
You had smoked marijuana.

The tv was playing.
The jukebox was playing.

You were in a room
full of noisy video games
and pinball machines.

You, uh, had your eyes
closed... Sometimes,

And you were
being assaulted.

Now,
given these conditions,
can you truly say...

How many voices
you heard...

And where those voices
were coming from ?

No.

Is it fair to say, then,
that you can't tell us...

Who applauded
or who shouted ?

Is that fair ?

Yes, that's fair.

Okay. Thank you.

Miss tobias,

While you were on
the pinball machine,

Did you at any time
cry help or rape ?

No. I tried,
but they were
covering my mouth.

They were kissing me or had
their hands over my mouth.
I kept sayin' no.

- No ?
- Right. No.
I-- no-- I said no.

Not rape or help
or police...

But, uh, no.

Right. No.

Did anybody hear ?
I don't know.

Well, did you signal
to anybody in the room ?
Say, a hand signal ?

No. My hands were
pinned down, right ?

Did you signal to anybody
with your eyes ?

No.

- Were you struggling ?
- Yes !

Anybody see you
struggling ?

They must have.
Miss tobias,

Can you in any way
prove to us...

That someone in that room,
anyone, saw you struggling...

Or heard you say no ?

No.

No more questions.

Miss tobias, while you
were being gang-raped,
what were you thinking ?

- Thinking ?
- Yes. What words
came into your head ?

Three men were
repeatedly raping you,

Holding you down
and raping you...
Your honor !

Your honor, prosecution--
and their friends
cheered and clapped...

And you laid there
naked and defenseless,
every part of you in pain.

What words came
into your head ?

What words ?

"no !"

No further questions,
your honor.

The witness is excused.

How you doin' ?
Good.

Good. Did you cut
the whole day ?

It's no big deal.
How you doin' ?
Oh, I've been better.

So, how's everything ?
What have I been missing ?

Listen. They're
prosecuting those guys,

The other guys in the bar
who were cheering and stuff.

They're makin' me testify,
so you have nothing
to worry about.

I wanted to tell you.
Are you out
of your fuckin' mind ?

You're not even on trial.
What are you gonna say ?

I'm gonna tell them
what happened.
And what happened ?

Come on, man, you know.

A bunch of guys
were cheering and yelling
and stuff...

'cause you, kurt,
and danny raped her.

Who said I raped her ?
I'm not in here for rape.

Did you see me
rape her, ken ?

What do you think ?

You didn't, did you ?

Yes, I did, bob.

Ken, if you say that,
you know what happens
to me ?

Nothing's
going to happen--

No. Instead of
my nine months in here,

The parole board
will turn it
into five years.

You don't understand.
They're making me do this.
No !

All they can do
is call you. They can't
make you say anything.

You don't remember.
You were too drunk.

You were too confused
to get any of it
straight.

I don't want to lie, bob.

You want to come
visit me here for
the next five years ?

Hi.

Hi.
Hi. I hope
you like it black.

I do, thanks.
You know,
I meant to tell you,

This week,
leos frighten away
friends--

Not now,
sarah, please.

Sorry.

Excuse us,
miss murphy.

Mr. Joyce has
something to tell you
and miss tobias.

Mr. Joyce has just told me
he doesn't truly remember
the events of that night.

And he only told you
what he told you
because you coerced him.

If you put him on the stand,
he will recant.
He'll take it back.

Did you have something
to do with this ?

[ chuckles ]
I suggest you notify
the court and the defense...

That he won't be testifying.

No, in fact,
it might be less awkward
if you move for dismissal.

Wait right here
one minute.

Why ?

I don't remember.
I only told her
what I told her...

Because she
forced me to.

If she makes me
take the stand,
I'm gonna recant it all.

- Why ?
- I told you,
I don't remember anything.

You're full of shit.

Where do you get off
telling me I'm full of shit ?
I was there, remember ?

Right. You were there.
You saw me have
a few drinks.

You saw me blow some grass.
You saw me flirt a little bit.

And then you saw me gang-raped.
And you think I had it coming.

is in prison.

If I do this,
they're gonna keep him
for five years.

And I'm just this--

Were you in the mill
the night of the events
involving sarah tobias ?

Yes.
Would you please recount
for us what happened ?

Um, well, it was late.
Me and my friend bob
had been to the game.

Afterwards,
he took me to this bar
he sometimes goes to...

The mill.
We'd been there a while...

When this girl walked in.
She was really sexy.

And she was sitting
at the table...

Behind us
talking to her friend
while this guy danny--

He was sitting
at the end of the bar--

And he saw her come in, too,
and he sent the bartender
over with some drinks.

So I'm washin' dishes.

So, then I hear bonnie
screaming her head off.

Chip walks out
in cowboy boots...

And goes,
"I didn't just
kick her in the head."

Hey.
Not much.
What's goin' on ?

He's cute. Who's he ?

Oh, bob something.

- Evening, ladies.

Hey, enough--

Mr. Joyce,
do you believe...

That sarah tobias
instigated that rape ?
No, I don't.

Thank you.

So ?

So ken helped.
Larry, I don't know.

Jesse hurt.
What about sally ?

Bad, huh ?

Shit !

You want to go
for a drink ?

No. I have to put
together my summation.

What are our chances ?

50-50 at best.

Good night.

Good night.

Your honor,
my colleagues have agreed
to a single summation.

No objection, your honor.

Ladies and gentlemen,

The state has charged
these three men with a crime.

And the state has
supported that charge...

With the testimony
of two witnesses:

Sarah tobias, who told you
how three men raped her,

And she told you
how she heard other men...

Shouting encouragement
to her attackers.

Did she name
these other men ?

No.

Did she describe
these other men ?

No.

Could she tell you what
these other men shouted ?

No.
Her sworn testimony--

Her poignant, heart-rending
sworn testimony--

Was an appeal to your pity.

And if her story is true,
you should pity her.

But even if
her story is true,
and you do pity her,

That has nothing to do
with this case,

Because those three men
did not rape her.

Her sworn testimony
is nothing.

And you must
treat it as nothing.

Now...

If you wish,
you can also
treat as nothing...

The testimony
of her lover, larry,

Who told you
what kind of woman she is.

And you can
treat as nothing the testimony
of the bartender, jesse,

Who told you
that she was so drunk
she could barely stand.

And you can treat as nothing
the testimony of her friend,
sally,

Who told you what
miss tobias' intentions were
when she first saw our clients.

Our case does not
depend on those witnesses,

Just as the people's case
does not depend
on sarah tobias.

The people's case
depends on kenneth joyce.

If you believe him,
you'll convict
those three men,

And if you don't,
you'll acquit them.

Do you believe him ?

Why did kenneth joyce
testify ?

Every day, for months,
he said to himself,
"I'm guilty.

I'm guilty."

And finally, he was offered
a way to purge that guilt,
and he took it.

Kenneth joyce told you
he watched a rape...

And told you everyone
in that room watched a rape.

How did he know that ?
Did he read their minds ?

To solicit a crime,
you must first know
that it is a crime.

Well, who knew it ?

Kenneth joyce.

Do you think it matters
to kenneth joyce who shouted ?

In his mind, every person
in that room was guilty.

He told you that.
And kenneth joyce--
who is guilty,

Who did watch a rape
and do nothing--

Will purge himself
by bringing down anyone
who was in that room.

And, of course,
at no legal cost
to himself,

While those three men
face prison.

Do you believe him ?

Well, if you do, convict.

And if you don't--

And I know you don't--

Acquit.

Miss murphy.

Ladies and gentlemen,
mr. Paulsen has told you...

That the testimony
of sarah tobias is nothing.

Sarah tobias was raped,
but that is nothing.

She was cut and bruised
and terrorized,

But that is nothing.

All of it happened
in front of a howling crowd,

And that is nothing.

Well, it may be nothing
to mr. Paulsen,

But it is not nothing
to sarah tobias.

And I don't believe
it's nothing to you.

Next, mr. Paulsen
tried to convince you...

That kenneth joyce
was the only person
in that room who knew...

That sarah tobias
was being raped.

The only one.

Now, you watched kenneth joyce.
How did he strike you ?

Did he seem
especially sensitive ?
Especially observant ?

Did he seem so remarkable
that you immediately said
to yourselves, "of course.

This man would notice things
other people wouldn't."

Do you believe kenneth joyce
saw something those three men
didn't see ?

In all the time that
sarah tobias was held down
on that pinball machine,

The others didn't know ?

Kenneth joyce
confessed to you...

That he watched a rape
and did nothing.

He told you that
everyone in that bar
behaved badly,

And he's right.

But no matter
how immoral it may be,

It is not the crime
of criminal solicitation
to walk away from a rape.

It is not the crime
of criminal solicitation...

To silently watch a rape.

But it is the crime
of criminal solicitation...

To induce or entreat
or encourage...

Or persuade another person
to commit a rape.

"hold her down.

"stick it to her.

Make her moan."

These three men
did worse than nothing.

They cheered
and they clapped,

And they rooted
the others on.

They made sure
that sarah tobias...

Was raped...

And raped...

And raped.

Now, you tell me...

Is that nothing ?

What time is it ?
You just asked me that.

They want ken joyce's
testimony read to them again.

I don't get it.
That's the third time
for him.

How come they never
ask for mine ?

Because they believed you.

Oh, look.
I did your chart.

You're really
gonna like this.
This is great.

The 10th house
is really something.

Saturn in the 10th house
is career and ambition.

Mercury ruling
the 10th-- public work.

You had sun and pluto
in the 10th.

That's law and
higher understanding.

Hmm ? I mean,
I'm telling you,

The 10th house
is really excellent.

You could be president
or something.

What about you ?
What's your future ?

Oh... I forgot it
at home.

Don't you
remember it ?

Uh, yeah, it's just...

Seventh house mostly.

It's like, uh,
feelings, faith...

Intuition, mystery.

Really useful shit.

Do I have
any of that ?

Yeah. Yeah, you do.

You got a little bit
right there, right ?
See that ?

Hmm.

Keep it.

I was going to
sign it,

But I figured, no.
You're not really--

You're not really
into that kind of stuff,
so I figured--

Will you sign it,
please ?

Thank you.

Likewise.

Still no verdict
in the precedent-setting
tobias trial.

As the jury continues...
The second day
of deliberations,

The jury is showing
no sign of a quick verdict.

The jury has been out
for two days.

While both sides express
confidence the verdict will go
their way, one thing is certain:

This will be
an historic decision.

They're coming in.

[ whispering indistinctly ]

- Ladies and gentlemen,
have you reached a verdict ?
- We have, your honor.

Will the defendants
please rise
and face the jury ?

"we find the defendant
matthew haines...

"guilty of criminal
solicitation.

"we find the defendant
stuart holloway guilty
of criminal solicitation.

"we find the defendant
clifford albrect...

Guilty of criminal
solicitation."

[ judge ]
sentence will be imposed
two weeks from today at 10:00.

This court is adjourned.

[ gavel bangs ]

[ shouting questions,
indistinctly ]

Murphy ! Murphy !

What was
the deciding factor
in the case ?

Uh, well, there were
many deciding factors.

What are your plans ?

Oh, I'd like to go home,
and I'd like to play
with my dog.
