00:00:05,740 --> 00:00:08,941
In the criminal justice system,
sexually-based offenses
3
00:00:08,975 --> 00:00:11,143
are considered especially heinous.
4
00:00:11,178 --> 00:00:13,445
In New York City,the dedicated detectives
5
00:00:13,480 --> 00:00:15,314
who investigatethese vicious felonies
6
00:00:15,348 --> 00:00:16,682
are members of an elite squad
7
00:00:16,750 --> 00:00:18,784
known as the Special Victims Unit.
8
00:00:18,819 --> 00:00:21,787
These are their stories.
9
00:00:21,822 --> 00:00:22,955
Maybe we should set up
10
00:00:22,989 --> 00:00:24,623
a few more meetings
with the consultant.
11
00:00:24,658 --> 00:00:26,492
- We're fine
- Oh, I just found out
12
00:00:26,526 --> 00:00:28,327
that Matthew Sun
is on the board at Penn...
13
00:00:28,361 --> 00:00:30,529
- We're running late.
- Okay. All right.
14
00:00:30,564 --> 00:00:32,331
Oh, honey? Honey?
Just remember, okay?
15
00:00:32,365 --> 00:00:33,899
It's supposed to be
a conversation, you know?
16
00:00:33,967 --> 00:00:35,701
Just avoid yes or no answers.
17
00:00:35,735 --> 00:00:36,902
- Okay, Mom, I know.
- You look good.
18
00:00:36,970 --> 00:00:38,337
I'll call you when
we get to Boston, okay?
19
00:00:38,371 --> 00:00:39,872
Okay. All right. Oh!
20
00:00:39,906 --> 00:00:42,875
Don't forget to mention your
three-week seminar in Nairobi.
21
00:00:42,909 --> 00:00:43,909
Thank you.
22
00:00:48,548 --> 00:00:51,550
[phone buzzing]
23
00:00:54,054 --> 00:00:56,522
Hey.
24
00:00:56,556 --> 00:00:58,390
Great.
25
00:00:58,425 --> 00:01:00,526
Yeah, I'll see you soon.

31
00:01:15,542 --> 00:01:19,879
Laura, are you sure
you want to have sex?
32
00:01:19,913 --> 00:01:21,046
Absolutely.
33
00:01:21,081 --> 00:01:24,383
Why the hell do you think we're here?
34
00:01:24,417 --> 00:01:26,452
[both moaning]

00:01:34,027 --> 00:01:39,027
38
00:01:45,772 --> 00:01:47,473
- All right, thank you.
- Hi.
39
00:01:47,540 --> 00:01:50,409
Hey, the victim's name
is Laura Collett.
40
00:01:50,443 --> 00:01:51,577
She's on her way to the hospital.
41
00:01:51,611 --> 00:01:53,579
It looks like an overdose,
but no note.
42
00:01:53,613 --> 00:01:54,880
- Who found her?
- Maintenance.
43
00:01:54,915 --> 00:01:56,949
2:00 a.m.
Tub started overflowing,
44
00:01:56,983 --> 00:01:58,550
leaking water into the room below.
45
00:01:58,585 --> 00:02:00,286
- Did she check in alone?
- Well, we're not sure.
46
00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:01,620
We're trying to pull video
at the moment,
47
00:02:01,655 --> 00:02:03,455
but, I mean, the room is in her name.
48
00:02:03,490 --> 00:02:04,924
She charged it on her AMEX.
49
00:02:04,958 --> 00:02:08,627
- Key card?
- Last used at 9:56 p.m.
50
00:02:08,662 --> 00:02:11,430
- Any witnesses on the floor?
- No, nobody heard a peep.
51
00:02:11,464 --> 00:02:13,432
Oh, looks romantic.
52
00:02:13,466 --> 00:02:15,000
- Flowers, a bottle of Brunello.
- Yeah.
53
00:02:15,068 --> 00:02:16,902
CSU's gonna check that for narcotics.
54
00:02:16,937 --> 00:02:18,470
You said there was
an outcry witness, right?
55
00:02:18,505 --> 00:02:20,072
Yeah, the suspect via text.
56
00:02:20,106 --> 00:02:21,941
- Okay, you got a name?
- No.
57
00:02:21,975 --> 00:02:23,609
I called the number a few times.
58
00:02:23,643 --> 00:02:25,477
No answer, no voicemail.
59
00:02:25,512 --> 00:02:29,748
Laura's last text was
11:56 last night.
60
00:02:29,783 --> 00:02:30,950
61
00:02:30,984 --> 00:02:32,618
"You raped me.
Burn in hell."
62
00:02:32,652 --> 00:02:35,354
Okay, clear and concise.
Not exactly.
63
00:02:35,422 --> 00:02:39,091
She sent another text to the
same guy ten minutes earlier.
64
00:02:39,125 --> 00:02:42,461
"Incredible night.
Just gonna say it.
65
00:02:42,495 --> 00:02:43,996
Best sex ever."
66
00:02:44,030 --> 00:02:46,966
So, in ten minutes
she goes from "best sex ever"
67
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:48,467
to "you raped me?"
68
00:02:48,501 --> 00:02:50,436
How the hell does that happen?
69
00:02:50,470 --> 00:02:53,472
70
00:02:55,508 --> 00:02:58,477
[dramatic music]

73
00:03:42,229 --> 00:03:43,895
Hey.
The vic's at the hospital.
74
00:03:43,929 --> 00:03:45,163
She's still unresponsive.
75
00:03:45,197 --> 00:03:47,232
Nearly lethal dose of
alcohol and diazepam.
76
00:03:47,266 --> 00:03:49,434
Doctor says it's looking 50/50.
77
00:03:49,502 --> 00:03:50,902
Any other drugs in her system?
78
00:03:50,936 --> 00:03:53,004
No, and the doctor did
a full tox panel.
79
00:03:53,038 --> 00:03:54,518
No Rohypnol or other date rape drugs.
80
00:03:54,540 --> 00:03:56,007
Okay, so the victim has sex,
81
00:03:56,041 --> 00:03:57,675
and then has a change of heart
after the fact.
82
00:03:57,710 --> 00:04:00,044
She goes from best sex ever
to rape in ten minutes.
83
00:04:00,079 --> 00:04:02,380
- That's a pretty big change of heart.
- Ten minutes or ten hours.
84
00:04:02,414 --> 00:04:04,382
The question is,
what turns this into a rape?
85
00:04:04,416 --> 00:04:06,217
TARU said these texts went
to a burner?
86
00:04:06,252 --> 00:04:07,619
- Yeah.
- All right.
87
00:04:07,686 --> 00:04:10,021
So the victim,
Laura Collett, married,
88
00:04:10,055 --> 00:04:11,422
lives in Manhattan.
What else do we know?
89
00:04:11,457 --> 00:04:13,358
She's 42. She has one son.
90
00:04:13,392 --> 00:04:14,953
And here's a screen shot
of her phone.
91
00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:16,194
Just another perfect family.
92
00:04:16,228 --> 00:04:17,948
Wow, it's just too early
to be that jaded.
93
00:04:17,963 --> 00:04:19,364
Next time I'll wait till noon.
94
00:04:19,398 --> 00:04:20,632
The husband, he's at the hospital?
95
00:04:20,699 --> 00:04:22,500
- Yeah, unis called.
- Great, head down there.
96
00:04:22,535 --> 00:04:24,536
See what he knows.
97
00:04:24,538 --> 00:04:27,972
_
98
00:04:28,574 --> 00:04:30,108
Excuse me. Mr. Collett?
99
00:04:30,142 --> 00:04:32,022
I'm Detective Carisi.
This is Detective Rollins.
100
00:04:32,044 --> 00:04:35,413
We're looking into what happened
with your wife last night.
101
00:04:35,447 --> 00:04:38,616
You're investigating her
for overdosing on pills?
102
00:04:38,651 --> 00:04:40,618
No, no, we're not.
We're trying to understand
103
00:04:40,653 --> 00:04:42,654
what happened prior to that.
104
00:04:42,721 --> 00:04:45,623
- Prior?
- Yeah.
105
00:04:45,658 --> 00:04:47,392
You see,
your wife sent a text message
106
00:04:47,426 --> 00:04:51,296
from her phone
accusing somebody of rape.
107
00:04:51,330 --> 00:04:56,234
So she was at a hotel
with a man who raped her?
108
00:04:56,268 --> 00:04:59,637
Right now, we're just trying
to figure out who she was with.
109
00:04:59,672 --> 00:05:01,506
When was the last time
you talked to Laura?
110
00:05:01,574 --> 00:05:02,941
Late afternoon.
111
00:05:02,975 --> 00:05:07,245
I was... my son and I were
in Boston, visiting colleges.
112
00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:11,115
Did you know that she was staying
at the Luxembourg Hotel that night?
113
00:05:11,150 --> 00:05:14,118
Mr. Collett, do you have
any idea who Laura was with?
114
00:05:14,153 --> 00:05:15,954
Maybe with somebody from work?
115
00:05:15,988 --> 00:05:18,423
No. She doesn't work.
116
00:05:18,457 --> 00:05:20,592
She's involved with
various charities, but...
117
00:05:20,626 --> 00:05:24,429
- Okay.
- We were happy.
118
00:05:24,463 --> 00:05:28,266
- At least I thought we were.
- Had she taken up anything new?
119
00:05:28,300 --> 00:05:30,668
Tennis, hiking, or yoga?
120
00:05:30,703 --> 00:05:32,971
More like college admissions.
121
00:05:33,005 --> 00:05:34,372
That's all she thinks about,
122
00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:36,474
where my son will be going
to college next year.
123
00:05:36,508 --> 00:05:38,977
Right.
124
00:05:39,011 --> 00:05:42,647
Well, look, Mr. Collett, we know
this is all overwhelming,
125
00:05:42,681 --> 00:05:44,983
but we'd like your consent
to do a rape kit.
126
00:05:45,017 --> 00:05:47,986
[solemn music]
127
00:05:48,020 --> 00:05:49,120
128
00:05:49,154 --> 00:05:50,355
What do you got?
129
00:05:50,389 --> 00:05:52,223
The hotel just sent over
security footage.
130
00:05:52,291 --> 00:05:53,691
All right, at 6:14 p.m.,
131
00:05:53,726 --> 00:05:55,159
Laura walks in the hotel lobby.
132
00:05:55,194 --> 00:05:58,730
She says hello
to this tall, white man.
133
00:05:58,797 --> 00:06:00,999
Looks early 40s.
He's decent looking.
134
00:06:01,033 --> 00:06:02,066
Well-dressed.
135
00:06:02,134 --> 00:06:03,334
I'll run it through
facial-rec.
136
00:06:03,369 --> 00:06:04,669
Great, so meanwhile,
head back to that hotel,
137
00:06:04,703 --> 00:06:08,039
show that image to guests,
doormen, front desk.
138
00:06:08,073 --> 00:06:10,308
See if anybody knows who this guy is.
139
00:06:10,342 --> 00:06:12,262
All right, take a ride
to the Luxembourg Hotel?
140
00:06:12,311 --> 00:06:14,646
No, I can't.
141
00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:18,149
Barba set up an interview with
me with some ADA in Brooklyn.
142
00:06:18,183 --> 00:06:19,684
Brooklyn?
143
00:06:19,718 --> 00:06:22,320
You got to grow a beard and
start making artisan pickles?
144
00:06:22,354 --> 00:06:23,655
I'm just seeing
what's out there, all right?
145
00:06:23,689 --> 00:06:27,158
For the record,
I like artisan pickles.
146
00:06:27,192 --> 00:06:30,028
- Mm.
- How do I look?
147
00:06:30,062 --> 00:06:32,063
Like a cop.
148
00:06:34,266 --> 00:06:36,834
Hey, how did Noah do?
149
00:06:36,869 --> 00:06:39,404
Okay, did you talk to his teacher?
150
00:06:39,438 --> 00:06:41,572
Oh.
151
00:06:41,607 --> 00:06:44,709
Okay, thanks, Lucy.
152
00:06:44,743 --> 00:06:46,844
Everything good with the little guy?
153
00:06:46,879 --> 00:06:49,614
Apparently, Noah's language skills
154
00:06:49,682 --> 00:06:51,516
are slightly underdeveloped
155
00:06:51,550 --> 00:06:53,184
relative to his peer group.
156
00:06:53,218 --> 00:06:55,520
You know,
I've just been doing my best,
157
00:06:55,554 --> 00:06:58,122
you know,
reading and talking, singing...
158
00:06:58,190 --> 00:07:00,391
So he's not getting
into the fancy school?
159
00:07:00,426 --> 00:07:03,361
They don't know yet.
160
00:07:03,395 --> 00:07:05,196
Anything new with Laura Collett?
161
00:07:05,230 --> 00:07:06,564
Rape kit came back.
162
00:07:06,598 --> 00:07:09,634
No semen, bruises, or abrasions,
but she did have sex.
163
00:07:09,702 --> 00:07:12,070
They found traces
of condom lubricant.
164
00:07:12,104 --> 00:07:14,205
- Any facial-rec?
- No, the guy's still a ghost.
165
00:07:14,239 --> 00:07:16,374
- Anything on social media?
- No pops on the perp,
166
00:07:16,408 --> 00:07:18,242
but check this out.
167
00:07:18,277 --> 00:07:21,145
She DM'd her son the day
before the incident.
168
00:07:21,213 --> 00:07:22,747
"I'm sorry. Call me."
169
00:07:22,781 --> 00:07:24,382
And he writes back,
"You make me sick.
170
00:07:24,416 --> 00:07:25,416
I hope you die."
171
00:07:25,451 --> 00:07:27,151
Huh.
172
00:07:27,219 --> 00:07:29,420
- Those are pretty strong words.
- Yeah, maybe the kid found out
173
00:07:29,455 --> 00:07:30,755
his mother was seeing somebody else.
174
00:07:30,789 --> 00:07:32,423
I'll go back to the hospital,
see what he knows.
175
00:07:32,458 --> 00:07:35,460
How'd your meeting go with LaRosa?
176
00:07:37,429 --> 00:07:39,430
What, you think I don't hear things?
177
00:07:42,167 --> 00:07:44,802
[footsteps approaching]
178
00:07:48,140 --> 00:07:51,676
Hey, Justin. How's your mom?
179
00:07:51,744 --> 00:07:54,512
She's still unconscious, but
the doctor sounds optimistic.
180
00:07:54,580 --> 00:07:55,613
Good.
181
00:07:55,647 --> 00:07:58,916
Not sure if he really means it,
or he's just trying to placate me.
182
00:07:58,951 --> 00:08:02,587
Placate, huh? Nice.
SAT word, right?
183
00:08:02,621 --> 00:08:03,821
[laughs softly]
184
00:08:03,856 --> 00:08:07,291
So listen, we got this
from the hotel security.
185
00:08:07,326 --> 00:08:11,162
Do you recognize this guy
with your mom?
186
00:08:11,196 --> 00:08:12,764
No, sorry.
187
00:08:12,798 --> 00:08:14,799
That's okay.
188
00:08:15,768 --> 00:08:18,169
[sighs]
189
00:08:18,203 --> 00:08:21,272
So listen, Justin. I, um...
190
00:08:21,306 --> 00:08:22,840
I saw the message
you sent your mother
191
00:08:22,875 --> 00:08:25,476
the night of the incident.
192
00:08:25,511 --> 00:08:28,780
What was she so sorry about?
193
00:08:28,814 --> 00:08:31,349
Why did you say
that you wanted her to die?
194
00:08:31,383 --> 00:08:33,551
She kept bugging me about Hudson.
195
00:08:33,619 --> 00:08:38,289
She really wants me to go there.
She thinks it's so prestigious.
196
00:08:38,323 --> 00:08:41,692
You know, my mother...
197
00:08:41,727 --> 00:08:43,494
[chuckles]
198
00:08:43,529 --> 00:08:46,631
My mother didn't even know
I applied to college.
199
00:08:46,665 --> 00:08:47,899
No, seriously.
200
00:08:47,966 --> 00:08:49,534
Two days before
classes started, I said,
201
00:08:49,568 --> 00:08:51,402
"Hey, Ma, can I borrow
400 bucks for books?
202
00:08:51,470 --> 00:08:52,904
I just got into St. John's."
203
00:08:52,971 --> 00:08:54,639
Lucky you.
204
00:08:54,673 --> 00:08:56,641
My mom's been on
four campus tours of Hudson,
205
00:08:56,675 --> 00:08:58,342
sat in on six lectures,
206
00:08:58,377 --> 00:09:01,913
and had three lunches with some guy
from the admissions office.
207
00:09:01,980 --> 00:09:04,182
The other day, she asked me
to have lunch with him.
208
00:09:04,216 --> 00:09:08,186
Said he might be the difference
maker, and I snapped.
209
00:09:08,220 --> 00:09:10,354
I'm sick of dealing with
all her stress over all this.
210
00:09:10,389 --> 00:09:11,889
I'm the one applying.
211
00:09:11,924 --> 00:09:13,891
[solemn music]
212
00:09:13,926 --> 00:09:17,662
I just hope that's not the
last thing I ever said to her.
213
00:09:17,696 --> 00:09:21,666
214
00:09:21,700 --> 00:09:24,335
[sighs]
215
00:09:24,369 --> 00:09:25,837
Did she ever mention
the name of the guy
216
00:09:25,871 --> 00:09:29,574
at the...
the admissions office?
217
00:09:29,608 --> 00:09:33,277
No, she never mentioned it.
218
00:09:33,345 --> 00:09:35,847
Do you think she...
219
00:09:35,881 --> 00:09:38,850
that because of our fight,
she took all those pills?
220
00:09:38,884 --> 00:09:42,553
No.
No, put that out of your head.
221
00:09:42,588 --> 00:09:44,789
I think she loves you very much,
222
00:09:44,857 --> 00:09:47,925
and it's because of that she's
gonna make a full recovery.
223
00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:50,528
224
00:09:50,562 --> 00:09:51,796
Come on.
225
00:09:51,864 --> 00:09:53,344
You got to hit
that thing harder, man.
226
00:09:53,365 --> 00:09:54,866
You know what's overrated?
227
00:09:54,900 --> 00:09:57,702
Wireless, and putting lemon in water.
228
00:09:57,736 --> 00:09:58,870
I don't get that.
229
00:09:58,904 --> 00:10:00,404
All right.
230
00:10:00,439 --> 00:10:02,607
So Justin says that his mother
was spending time with some guy
231
00:10:02,641 --> 00:10:05,543
who works in the office of admissions
of Hudson University.
232
00:10:05,577 --> 00:10:09,580
I got 27 males
in that department, 19 women.
233
00:10:09,615 --> 00:10:11,582
Takes all those people
to look at applications
234
00:10:11,617 --> 00:10:12,617
and say yes or no?
235
00:10:12,651 --> 00:10:14,418
Hey, I just got back from the hotel,
236
00:10:14,453 --> 00:10:15,973
and nobody recognizes
the unknown male,
237
00:10:15,988 --> 00:10:18,990
but I did get a name
that you might find interesting.
238
00:10:19,057 --> 00:10:21,726
Laura signed into
the spa at 6:33 p.m.,
239
00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:24,829
and a guy named Alden Kessler
signed in at the exact same time.
240
00:10:24,897 --> 00:10:27,398
Hey, look at that.
He's at the top of my list.
241
00:10:27,432 --> 00:10:29,433
Director of Admissions.
242
00:10:31,987 --> 00:10:34,571
_
243
00:10:34,573 --> 00:10:36,974
Alden Kessler. Where is he?
244
00:10:37,009 --> 00:10:38,342
Thanks.
245
00:10:41,446 --> 00:10:42,747
Hey, where's Alden Kessler?
246
00:10:42,781 --> 00:10:45,449
You're looking at him.
247
00:10:45,484 --> 00:10:47,785
- Wait, you're Alden Kessler?
- Is there a problem?
248
00:10:47,819 --> 00:10:50,421
Yeah.
A tall white one.
249
00:10:50,455 --> 00:10:52,490
Do you know him? Or her?
250
00:10:52,524 --> 00:10:53,991
No.
Never seen either one.
251
00:10:54,026 --> 00:10:55,860
Look, what's going on here?
This is Detective Carisi.
252
00:10:55,928 --> 00:10:56,994
I'm Detective Rollins.
253
00:10:57,029 --> 00:10:58,596
We're from the Special Victims Unit
254
00:10:58,630 --> 00:11:01,966
and we're investigating
a rape allegation.
255
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:04,302
Is that your signature?
256
00:11:04,336 --> 00:11:07,605
No, and I've never set foot
in the Luxembourg Hotel. Why?
257
00:11:07,639 --> 00:11:11,008
There's a rapist out there
pretending to be you.
258
00:11:11,043 --> 00:11:14,011
[dramatic music]
259
00:11:14,046 --> 00:11:16,514
260
00:11:18,528 --> 00:11:22,095
We think someone is using
your name, your identity.
261
00:11:22,129 --> 00:11:23,797
Any idea why somebody
would want to do that?
262
00:11:23,831 --> 00:11:26,433
This woman, Laura, does she
have a child applying to Hudson?
263
00:11:26,467 --> 00:11:30,170
Yeah, her son. Justin Collett.
264
00:11:30,237 --> 00:11:32,339
[keys clacking]
265
00:11:33,608 --> 00:11:35,809
[sighs]
266
00:11:35,843 --> 00:11:39,179
Yeah, there he is.
Senior at York Prep.
267
00:11:39,246 --> 00:11:42,182
3.9 GPA, 2250 SAT scores.
268
00:11:42,249 --> 00:11:43,683
- That's good, right?
- Exceptional.
269
00:11:43,751 --> 00:11:47,187
Problem is, we get 2,000 kids
with similar credentials.
270
00:11:47,254 --> 00:11:48,622
We only accept 400.
271
00:11:48,656 --> 00:11:51,358
The other spots
go to international students,
272
00:11:51,425 --> 00:11:52,826
athletes, diversity candidates.
273
00:11:52,860 --> 00:11:55,195
So, tough to be a rich,
white kid with great grades?
274
00:11:55,262 --> 00:11:56,596
That... that's what you're saying?
275
00:11:56,631 --> 00:11:58,431
At elite universities, anyway.
276
00:11:58,466 --> 00:12:01,534
That must make you
a pretty popular man, right?
277
00:12:01,602 --> 00:12:03,503
When you're, like, the... the doorman
278
00:12:03,537 --> 00:12:05,639
for the most exclusive club
in the world.
279
00:12:05,673 --> 00:12:07,007
Do any of these rich parents
280
00:12:07,041 --> 00:12:10,276
ever try to, um...
influence your decision?
281
00:12:10,311 --> 00:12:13,113
[scoffs] No, never.
282
00:12:13,147 --> 00:12:15,148
That would be unethical.
283
00:12:17,218 --> 00:12:20,320
- Do any of them offer sex?
- Excuse me?
284
00:12:20,354 --> 00:12:23,857
What I mean is, if you wanted
to exploit your power
285
00:12:23,891 --> 00:12:26,326
in a sexual way,
would there be any takers?
286
00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:28,561
I've been offered all kinds
of outrageous things,
287
00:12:28,629 --> 00:12:32,332
a part ownership at a winery
in Bordeaux, a Monet.
288
00:12:32,366 --> 00:12:35,568
Last year, a hedge funder
with an underachieving son
289
00:12:35,636 --> 00:12:37,003
offered me $5 million,
290
00:12:37,038 --> 00:12:40,874
and yes, on occasion,
there have been sexual advances.
291
00:12:42,009 --> 00:12:43,090
Laura Collett just woke up.
292
00:12:43,144 --> 00:12:45,345
Benson's on her way to the hospital.
293
00:12:45,379 --> 00:12:48,648
Mr. Kessler, thank you.
We'll be in touch.
294
00:12:48,683 --> 00:12:51,017
We, uh, we met on campus.
295
00:12:51,052 --> 00:12:53,353
Justin and I had just, uh,
taken a tour,
296
00:12:53,387 --> 00:12:56,022
and I was... I was getting coffee
at the caf?,
297
00:12:56,057 --> 00:12:59,893
and he, um...
he introduced himself to me.
298
00:12:59,927 --> 00:13:02,395
He said he worked
at the admissions office.
299
00:13:02,430 --> 00:13:05,398
The night that you two were
at the Luxembourg Hotel,
300
00:13:05,433 --> 00:13:09,936
you sent him a text
that said, "Best sex ever."
301
00:13:10,004 --> 00:13:13,373
And then ten minutes later,
you sent him another text that said,
302
00:13:13,407 --> 00:13:16,376
"You raped me. Burn in hell."
303
00:13:16,410 --> 00:13:18,545
So can you tell me what happened
in those ten minutes?
304
00:13:18,579 --> 00:13:21,347
I figured out
he wasn't Alden Kessler.
305
00:13:21,382 --> 00:13:22,916
How?
306
00:13:22,950 --> 00:13:24,384
He mixed up a few statistics.
307
00:13:24,418 --> 00:13:26,953
He said, um...
308
00:13:27,021 --> 00:13:29,556
said the endowment was 9 billion.
309
00:13:29,590 --> 00:13:31,291
It's actually 13.
310
00:13:31,358 --> 00:13:32,559
You got suspicious?
311
00:13:32,593 --> 00:13:34,394
Yeah.
312
00:13:34,428 --> 00:13:37,063
Had you Googled him or,
you know, looked him up?
313
00:13:37,098 --> 00:13:38,398
I did, and there he was
314
00:13:38,432 --> 00:13:41,935
on some professor's Instagram page.
315
00:13:41,969 --> 00:13:45,238
Just right there, and I'm...
316
00:13:45,272 --> 00:13:47,574
I mean, I'm stunned.
I'm stunned, and I call him.
317
00:13:47,608 --> 00:13:51,244
I called this man that
I just had sex with, okay?
318
00:13:51,278 --> 00:13:55,949
And I confront him,
and he laughs at me.
319
00:13:55,983 --> 00:13:57,717
And he hangs up,
and I call him again,
320
00:13:57,752 --> 00:13:59,586
and... and...
and he doesn't answer,
321
00:13:59,620 --> 00:14:02,255
so I sent the text
about him raping me.
322
00:14:02,289 --> 00:14:04,049
I mean, I didn't... I didn't
mean it literally,
323
00:14:04,058 --> 00:14:07,127
but I wanted him to know
324
00:14:07,161 --> 00:14:10,263
how disgusting he was
and how upset I was,
325
00:14:10,297 --> 00:14:11,965
and then...
326
00:14:11,999 --> 00:14:13,600
[solemn music]
327
00:14:13,634 --> 00:14:15,468
[sniffles]
328
00:14:15,503 --> 00:14:20,173
Did you mean to hurt yourself?
329
00:14:20,241 --> 00:14:22,642
No. I was...
330
00:14:22,676 --> 00:14:25,411
I was trying to numb the pain.
331
00:14:25,446 --> 00:14:29,516
332
00:14:29,583 --> 00:14:32,652
I would never abandon my family.
333
00:14:32,686 --> 00:14:34,788
334
00:14:34,822 --> 00:14:39,125
So you didn't know
the true identity of this man,
335
00:14:39,160 --> 00:14:41,694
which means that you never consented
336
00:14:41,762 --> 00:14:44,998
to having sex with him.
337
00:14:45,032 --> 00:14:46,633
Wait a minute.
What... what are you saying?
338
00:14:46,667 --> 00:14:50,303
What... what he did was a crime?
339
00:14:50,337 --> 00:14:53,807
I'm saying that what he did
to you is rape.
340
00:14:53,841 --> 00:14:57,811
341
00:14:57,845 --> 00:15:00,380
She screwed some guy trying to
get her kid into college?
342
00:15:00,447 --> 00:15:02,615
- Quid pro quo.
- But she got played.
343
00:15:02,650 --> 00:15:04,350
Ended up having sex with some jackass
344
00:15:04,385 --> 00:15:05,785
pretending to be
a big shot at Hudson.
345
00:15:05,820 --> 00:15:08,154
Which makes it rape.
In her mind, anyway.
346
00:15:08,189 --> 00:15:11,357
Just being real, lying to have
sex is just part of the game.
347
00:15:11,392 --> 00:15:12,692
I mean, back in the day,
348
00:15:12,726 --> 00:15:14,661
I pretended to be
Melle Mel's cousin one night.
349
00:15:14,695 --> 00:15:15,862
You trying to tell me that was rape?
350
00:15:15,896 --> 00:15:18,731
- Things have changed, Fin.
- Not that much.
351
00:15:18,799 --> 00:15:21,334
Everybody's lying in the club.
Trust me on that.
352
00:15:21,368 --> 00:15:24,204
No, no, she consented to
having sex with Alden Kessler,
353
00:15:24,238 --> 00:15:26,806
not some stranger
pretending to be Alden Kessler,
354
00:15:26,841 --> 00:15:29,309
so ask me, that's rape.
355
00:15:29,343 --> 00:15:31,711
Let's find this guy.
Do we have any leads?
356
00:15:31,745 --> 00:15:33,012
No, not much.
357
00:15:33,047 --> 00:15:34,414
The wine bottle came back
negative for prints,
358
00:15:34,481 --> 00:15:36,716
and the only lead I got
when I was at Laura's townhouse,
359
00:15:36,750 --> 00:15:38,484
I found a few personal notes
written to her
360
00:15:38,519 --> 00:15:40,420
on Kessler's Hudson stationary.
361
00:15:40,487 --> 00:15:41,688
Oh, that guy was selling it.
362
00:15:41,722 --> 00:15:43,656
If it's really Kessler's stationary
363
00:15:43,691 --> 00:15:47,660
that means that the suspect
has access to his office.
364
00:15:47,695 --> 00:15:49,696
Time to take another college tour.
365
00:15:50,690 --> 00:15:53,165
_
366
00:15:53,167 --> 00:15:55,535
68 grand a year for this?
I don't get all the fuss.
367
00:15:55,569 --> 00:15:57,737
Yeah, me neither,
but a lot of people do.
368
00:15:57,771 --> 00:16:00,707
Yeah, this imposter obviously
witnessed all the groveling
369
00:16:00,741 --> 00:16:02,542
and ass-kissing up close
and personal
370
00:16:02,576 --> 00:16:04,544
- that goes on around here.
- Makes sense.
371
00:16:04,578 --> 00:16:06,779
He saw he had a captive
audience, decided to exploit it.
372
00:16:06,780 --> 00:16:09,249
Yeah, but... right, but guys
have been doing that for years.
373
00:16:09,283 --> 00:16:12,252
Right? Lying, exaggerating,
manipulating.
374
00:16:12,286 --> 00:16:16,122
- You don't think it's rape?
- I-I think it's disgusting,
375
00:16:16,190 --> 00:16:17,857
but where do you draw the line?
376
00:16:17,892 --> 00:16:20,560
Like, say this kid,
says he grew up on Fifth Avenue,
377
00:16:20,594 --> 00:16:23,129
but he's really
from Jersey City, or say a guy,
378
00:16:23,197 --> 00:16:25,231
he says he makes
200,000 grand a year,
379
00:16:25,266 --> 00:16:28,134
but he really only makes 100,
you know? I mean, is that rape?
380
00:16:28,202 --> 00:16:29,702
This guy's different.
He's a predator.
381
00:16:29,737 --> 00:16:32,105
Well, I just don't like gray.
382
00:16:32,139 --> 00:16:33,740
We're cops, not lawyers.
383
00:16:33,774 --> 00:16:35,642
- Speak for yourself.
- [chuckles]
384
00:16:35,709 --> 00:16:37,644
I keep forgetting.
385
00:16:37,711 --> 00:16:42,149
- Is that an insult? Go ahead.
- Actually, it's a compliment.
386
00:16:45,620 --> 00:16:48,355
That's Tom Metcalf, campus security.
387
00:16:48,422 --> 00:16:50,357
We hired him two months ago.
388
00:16:50,424 --> 00:16:54,160
We had about 20 extra people
during application season.
389
00:16:54,195 --> 00:16:56,262
Things can get little nuts.
390
00:16:56,297 --> 00:16:58,965
A few days ago, I would have
found that hard to believe.
391
00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:01,101
Why do you need Tom? He in trouble?
392
00:17:01,135 --> 00:17:04,938
No, no.
We just... we want to talk to him.
393
00:17:04,972 --> 00:17:06,873
- He punched out at 5:12.
- Can you call him?
394
00:17:06,941 --> 00:17:08,475
Find out where he is?
You know, pretend you got
395
00:17:08,509 --> 00:17:11,177
to talk to him
about work or something.
396
00:17:13,180 --> 00:17:16,149
[dark music]
397
00:17:16,183 --> 00:17:17,217
398
00:17:17,284 --> 00:17:19,486
[indistinct chatter]
399
00:17:19,520 --> 00:17:22,122
400
00:17:22,156 --> 00:17:23,990
You know, I played
baseball at Vanderbilt.
401
00:17:24,025 --> 00:17:26,126
You really work at Goldman?
402
00:17:26,160 --> 00:17:27,320
Don't take this the wrong way,
403
00:17:27,328 --> 00:17:29,329
but you look like
a construction worker.
404
00:17:29,363 --> 00:17:31,498
I produce movies. Mostly comedies.
405
00:17:31,532 --> 00:17:33,172
You ever hear of the
"40-Year-Old-Virgin?"
406
00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:35,068
No way.
That's one of my favorites.
407
00:17:35,136 --> 00:17:38,004
408
00:17:38,039 --> 00:17:40,006
34,000 applications.
409
00:17:40,041 --> 00:17:41,341
We accepted 10%.
410
00:17:41,375 --> 00:17:45,045
71% of those applicants chose Hudson.
411
00:17:45,079 --> 00:17:47,647
We now have a yield rate
that's higher than Princeton.
412
00:17:47,682 --> 00:17:51,217
How do you know all that, Tom?
413
00:17:51,252 --> 00:17:55,822
- Tom? My name is...
- Let me guess. Alden?
414
00:17:56,357 --> 00:17:58,925
Why don't we go back to my place?
415
00:18:02,401 --> 00:18:05,902
Laura Collett overdosed?
That's horrible.
416
00:18:05,936 --> 00:18:08,237
Well, she said that you lied to her.
417
00:18:08,272 --> 00:18:09,792
That you pretended
to be Alden Kessler,
418
00:18:09,806 --> 00:18:12,742
and when she found out,
she got pretty upset.
419
00:18:12,776 --> 00:18:15,745
That's terrible.
I'm... I'm so sorry.
420
00:18:15,779 --> 00:18:18,915
So you admit you lied to her
about being somebody else?
421
00:18:18,949 --> 00:18:20,783
I told her I worked in admissions,
422
00:18:20,817 --> 00:18:22,885
and I left out the fact
that I was a security guard,
423
00:18:22,920 --> 00:18:24,253
and she made assumptions.
424
00:18:24,288 --> 00:18:26,923
You know, as far as I know,
that's not a crime.
425
00:18:26,957 --> 00:18:28,224
I even looked it up.
426
00:18:28,258 --> 00:18:30,993
Well, we're just trying to figure out
what happened that night.
427
00:18:31,061 --> 00:18:32,929
I mean, I got to do my job,
but between you and me,
428
00:18:32,963 --> 00:18:34,284
I don't even know why you're here.
429
00:18:34,298 --> 00:18:37,233
Honestly, I dated this chick
once in college.
430
00:18:37,267 --> 00:18:38,547
I dated her for a whole semester.
431
00:18:38,569 --> 00:18:40,970
She thought I was
an exchange student from Italy.
432
00:18:41,004 --> 00:18:42,338
It was the best sex I ever had.
433
00:18:42,406 --> 00:18:44,240
Yeah, well, that whole
foreign thing works with,
434
00:18:44,274 --> 00:18:45,741
you know, a certain niche audience.
435
00:18:45,776 --> 00:18:47,643
This guy thinks
he's pretty clever, huh?
436
00:18:47,678 --> 00:18:50,012
So does this guy.
437
00:18:50,080 --> 00:18:53,683
So is it just college moms,
or do you work other angles too?
438
00:18:53,750 --> 00:18:55,151
What's the point of this meeting?
439
00:18:55,185 --> 00:18:58,287
Look, Tom, I need
to hear your side of this
440
00:18:58,322 --> 00:19:00,823
before things
get blown out of proportion.
441
00:19:00,857 --> 00:19:02,792
My side, it's simple.
I met Laura.
442
00:19:02,826 --> 00:19:05,161
We had a few dates.
That's that.
443
00:19:05,195 --> 00:19:08,831
Have you ever impersonated
other people?
444
00:19:08,865 --> 00:19:10,933
Come on, man to man.
445
00:19:10,968 --> 00:19:13,803
Like I said,
it's not against the law.
446
00:19:13,837 --> 00:19:15,938
If you ask me,
it's a brilliant strategy,
447
00:19:15,973 --> 00:19:17,306
like taking advantage
of the tax code.
448
00:19:17,341 --> 00:19:19,375
You find a loophole, you exploit it.
449
00:19:19,443 --> 00:19:20,977
Well, you got nothing to worry about.
450
00:19:21,011 --> 00:19:22,044
That's my point.
451
00:19:22,112 --> 00:19:23,312
So you have
impersonated other people?
452
00:19:23,347 --> 00:19:24,981
- Of course.
- Well, let me guess.
453
00:19:25,015 --> 00:19:26,115
Hedge fund guy, right?
454
00:19:26,149 --> 00:19:28,017
Oh, please, that's for rookies.
455
00:19:28,051 --> 00:19:29,685
I play much more
sophisticated angles.
456
00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:32,321
Oh, such as?
457
00:19:32,356 --> 00:19:34,357
I used to work security
in a medical building.
458
00:19:34,391 --> 00:19:35,858
Heard all this lingo.
459
00:19:35,892 --> 00:19:38,961
Next thing you know,
the neurologist is in the house.
460
00:19:38,996 --> 00:19:40,396
Hmm.
461
00:19:40,464 --> 00:19:45,001
"Amy, my main focus
is neuromuscular disease,
462
00:19:45,035 --> 00:19:48,838
but if truth be told,
463
00:19:48,872 --> 00:19:52,208
my true passion is poetry."
464
00:19:52,242 --> 00:19:53,976
That is genius.
465
00:19:54,011 --> 00:19:56,078
It's all about the humble brag.
466
00:19:56,146 --> 00:19:58,347
I'm writing a book about
all this to help regular guys
467
00:19:58,382 --> 00:20:00,416
close the deal with beautiful women.
468
00:20:00,484 --> 00:20:01,884
Let's go back
to Laura though, all right?
469
00:20:01,918 --> 00:20:05,187
Did she actually ever say yes
to you, to Tom, before sex?
470
00:20:05,222 --> 00:20:07,356
Or did she just think
she was about to get after it
471
00:20:07,391 --> 00:20:10,359
with some hot shot from Hudson?
472
00:20:10,394 --> 00:20:12,361
Am I under arrest?
473
00:20:12,396 --> 00:20:14,363
[tense music]
474
00:20:14,398 --> 00:20:15,398
No.
475
00:20:15,432 --> 00:20:17,366
476
00:20:17,401 --> 00:20:19,368
Then I'm out of here.
477
00:20:19,403 --> 00:20:24,403
478
00:20:27,077 --> 00:20:29,278
I'm gonna send you a copy of my book.
479
00:20:29,346 --> 00:20:32,782
If you're nice, I might even
autograph it for you.
480
00:20:32,849 --> 00:20:37,849
481
00:20:38,522 --> 00:20:40,856
It sounds like Rape by Fraud.
482
00:20:40,891 --> 00:20:42,792
The problem is that doesn't
exist in New York criminal code.
483
00:20:42,859 --> 00:20:44,760
I know, but we can't
just let this guy walk.
484
00:20:44,795 --> 00:20:48,097
There's got to be
some kind of statute or theory
485
00:20:48,131 --> 00:20:51,233
that we can use to prosecute
this kind of vile behavior.
486
00:20:51,268 --> 00:20:53,402
People vs. Hough, 1994.
487
00:20:53,437 --> 00:20:55,871
A twin tricks his brother's wife
into having sex with him.
488
00:20:55,906 --> 00:20:57,386
The court rules there was wrongdoing,
489
00:20:57,407 --> 00:20:58,874
but no crime was committed
490
00:20:58,909 --> 00:21:01,210
since the law doesn't cover
that type of behavior.
491
00:21:01,244 --> 00:21:04,413
Okay, so maybe it's time
we update New York law
492
00:21:04,448 --> 00:21:08,150
into the 21st Century.
493
00:21:08,218 --> 00:21:10,119
Well, there have been rumblings about
494
00:21:10,153 --> 00:21:12,488
a new bill in the legislature.
495
00:21:12,556 --> 00:21:14,890
A case like this
could kick start things.
496
00:21:14,925 --> 00:21:16,258
Are you sure the victim
is willing to testify?
497
00:21:16,293 --> 00:21:18,794
I will talk to her.
498
00:21:18,829 --> 00:21:20,930
And our repugnant ladies' man,
he's done this before?
499
00:21:20,964 --> 00:21:22,465
Well, it sounds like it.
500
00:21:22,499 --> 00:21:24,900
He told Carisi
that he was writing a book
501
00:21:24,935 --> 00:21:26,469
about his various conquests.
502
00:21:26,503 --> 00:21:28,571
If we can establish
a consistent pattern,
503
00:21:28,605 --> 00:21:30,072
it would help sway the jury.
504
00:21:30,107 --> 00:21:32,308
Great, I'll need a warrant
to keep digging.
505
00:21:32,342 --> 00:21:33,442
Yeah.
506
00:21:34,056 --> 00:21:35,844
_
507
00:21:35,846 --> 00:21:37,286
Do I need to stick around for this?
508
00:21:37,314 --> 00:21:38,981
Well, it's better you stay,
if you don't mind.
509
00:21:39,015 --> 00:21:41,117
This guy Metcalf a criminal?
510
00:21:41,151 --> 00:21:42,485
A person of interest.
511
00:21:42,519 --> 00:21:45,121
Rollins,
"Dr. Michael Mandlebaum,
512
00:21:45,155 --> 00:21:46,489
Stanford University
Medical School."
513
00:21:46,523 --> 00:21:49,158
Huh, the guy definitely backstops.
514
00:21:54,264 --> 00:21:57,099
[scoffs] Hey, check this out.
515
00:21:57,134 --> 00:21:59,502
"My Mali Journey," Stephanie Dowling.
516
00:21:59,536 --> 00:22:01,137
I mean, he's got desperate moms
517
00:22:01,171 --> 00:22:02,972
submitting their kids work to him.
518
00:22:03,006 --> 00:22:05,508
Hmm, look. Look at that.
519
00:22:05,542 --> 00:22:06,863
"Alden, thanks for reading this.
520
00:22:06,877 --> 00:22:08,544
"Stephanie is a special young lady.
521
00:22:08,612 --> 00:22:10,880
"See you tomorrow afternoon
at the Strathmore.
522
00:22:10,947 --> 00:22:12,148
Can't wait. Erin."
523
00:22:12,182 --> 00:22:13,549
It sounds like another potential vic.
524
00:22:13,617 --> 00:22:15,885
What's the Strathmore?
A new luxury building in Soho.
525
00:22:15,952 --> 00:22:17,119
Prices start at 10 million.
526
00:22:17,154 --> 00:22:18,387
Oh, and Metcalf's got a place there?
527
00:22:18,455 --> 00:22:19,889
Sounds like another con.
528
00:22:19,956 --> 00:22:22,158
- When was that note sent?
- Yesterday. Today's the day.
529
00:22:22,192 --> 00:22:23,292
All right,
we might be able to stop this.
530
00:22:23,326 --> 00:22:24,326
I'll call Liv.
531
00:22:24,361 --> 00:22:27,163
_
532
00:22:27,197 --> 00:22:30,399
Erin Dowling's phone is still
going straight to her voicemail.
533
00:22:30,467 --> 00:22:32,001
Excuse me.
534
00:22:32,035 --> 00:22:34,336
Lieutenant Benson from SVU.
535
00:22:34,371 --> 00:22:36,338
Have you seen this man?
536
00:22:36,373 --> 00:22:37,573
Our tenants are very private.
537
00:22:37,641 --> 00:22:39,175
Is there something else
I can help you with?
538
00:22:39,209 --> 00:22:41,911
- It's an emergency.
- That's Mr. Kessler.
539
00:22:41,978 --> 00:22:43,312
Look, I just clocked in.
I haven't seen him.
540
00:22:43,346 --> 00:22:45,514
- He lives here?
- He stays in Mr. Zeng's place
541
00:22:45,549 --> 00:22:47,216
sometimes. 24B.
542
00:22:47,250 --> 00:22:48,984
What's going on?
543
00:22:49,019 --> 00:22:54,019
544
00:22:56,493 --> 00:22:57,526
Oh, hey.
545
00:22:57,561 --> 00:22:59,528
[chuckles] Small world.
546
00:22:59,563 --> 00:23:01,530
Benson, right?
We met the other day.
547
00:23:01,565 --> 00:23:03,098
- Erin Dowling up there?
- Yeah.
548
00:23:03,166 --> 00:23:05,701
She's probably catching
her breath right about now.
549
00:23:05,735 --> 00:23:09,038
You know you got
a stupid smile, right?
550
00:23:09,072 --> 00:23:12,174
Are you threatening me, Detective?
551
00:23:12,209 --> 00:23:13,676
Let him go, Fin.
552
00:23:13,710 --> 00:23:15,377
553
00:23:15,412 --> 00:23:18,080
And he's done this to other
prospective Hudson moms?
554
00:23:18,114 --> 00:23:21,617
Yes, he gets off on taking
advantage of anxious women.
555
00:23:21,685 --> 00:23:24,253
Look, I know
that this is traumatic...
556
00:23:24,287 --> 00:23:26,455
More like humiliating.
557
00:23:26,523 --> 00:23:28,691
My husband and I have spent
over a $1/2 million
558
00:23:28,725 --> 00:23:30,092
on our daughter's education.
559
00:23:30,126 --> 00:23:32,428
We want a return on our investment,
560
00:23:32,462 --> 00:23:37,032
but the college
admissions process is... brutal.
561
00:23:38,134 --> 00:23:41,036
My daughter's smart,
but normal smart,
562
00:23:41,071 --> 00:23:42,738
not prodigy smart,
563
00:23:42,772 --> 00:23:44,573
and she's not a minority,
564
00:23:44,608 --> 00:23:48,110
or an elite athlete, or violinist.
565
00:23:48,144 --> 00:23:50,713
- Okay, so where'd you meet him?
- The caf? on Hudson's campus.
566
00:23:50,747 --> 00:23:52,715
My daughter was there.
He approached me.
567
00:23:52,749 --> 00:23:55,284
And you thought he was
Alden Kessler till right now?
568
00:23:55,318 --> 00:23:56,385
Yes.
569
00:23:56,419 --> 00:23:59,421
I am so sorry, but I want you to know
570
00:23:59,456 --> 00:24:01,590
that we intend to prosecute this man
571
00:24:01,625 --> 00:24:03,392
for what he's done,
572
00:24:03,426 --> 00:24:06,095
and we hope that we can count
on you to cooperate.
573
00:24:06,129 --> 00:24:08,297
Are you joking?
574
00:24:08,331 --> 00:24:10,266
You want me to tell the world
that I was willing to sleep
575
00:24:10,300 --> 00:24:12,468
with the admissions director
to get my daughter into college?
576
00:24:12,502 --> 00:24:15,638
You didn't consent
to having sex with Tom Metcalf.
577
00:24:15,672 --> 00:24:17,006
He defrauded you.
578
00:24:17,073 --> 00:24:21,443
We were two adults playing a game,
and the hustler got hustled.
579
00:24:21,478 --> 00:24:23,112
Lesson learned.
580
00:24:23,146 --> 00:24:24,647
581
00:24:24,681 --> 00:24:26,582
What now?
582
00:24:26,616 --> 00:24:31,020
Well, a crime was committed.
Process it like any other case.
583
00:24:31,087 --> 00:24:33,022
I'll call CSU.
584
00:24:33,089 --> 00:24:35,157
585
00:24:35,191 --> 00:24:37,192
Well, sir, I appreciate
your cooperation.
586
00:24:37,260 --> 00:24:39,628
Thank you so much.
587
00:24:39,663 --> 00:24:43,332
That was the owner
of Metcalf's sex pad.
588
00:24:43,366 --> 00:24:45,134
By the way, it's cloudy in Hong Kong.
589
00:24:45,168 --> 00:24:47,136
- Does he know Metcalf?
- Never heard of him.
590
00:24:47,170 --> 00:24:48,537
Then how'd he get in that condo?
591
00:24:48,605 --> 00:24:49,672
Don't know.
592
00:24:49,706 --> 00:24:52,007
CSU find anything
in Zeng's apartment?
593
00:24:52,042 --> 00:24:54,543
Yeah, actually, something good.
594
00:24:54,611 --> 00:24:56,512
Our imposter...
595
00:24:56,546 --> 00:24:59,348
is a filmmaker, too.
596
00:25:03,453 --> 00:25:05,821
Showed compassion,breadth of experience...
597
00:25:05,855 --> 00:25:08,557
So you think it will
help her chances?
598
00:25:08,625 --> 00:25:11,060
I believe it will make hermore competitive
599
00:25:11,127 --> 00:25:13,829
and allow me to advocate
600
00:25:13,863 --> 00:25:15,531
more passionately on her behalf.
601
00:25:15,565 --> 00:25:16,665
Oh, we're not done.
There's more.
602
00:25:16,700 --> 00:25:18,033
Well...
603
00:25:18,068 --> 00:25:19,702
- Everything okay?- Yeah.
604
00:25:19,736 --> 00:25:23,038
Just, uh, Justin came in thirdat a cross country meet.
605
00:25:23,073 --> 00:25:25,341
He wants to go outto dinner to celebrate,
606
00:25:25,375 --> 00:25:29,812
so... I think I should go.
607
00:25:29,846 --> 00:25:31,580
The camera was hidden?
608
00:25:31,648 --> 00:25:34,183
He cut a hole in the dresser.
609
00:25:34,217 --> 00:25:35,538
You're sure Metcalf filmed this?
610
00:25:35,552 --> 00:25:38,187
CSU's running the camera
for prints, touch DNA,
611
00:25:38,221 --> 00:25:41,357
but he's clearly
the leader of the clubhouse.
612
00:25:41,391 --> 00:25:42,491
How many women are on that tape?
613
00:25:42,525 --> 00:25:43,826
Five, all mothers,
614
00:25:43,860 --> 00:25:46,695
all trying to help their kid
get into Hudson.
615
00:25:46,730 --> 00:25:48,210
Have you identified the other women?
616
00:25:48,231 --> 00:25:49,698
Yes, we have, everyone,
617
00:25:49,733 --> 00:25:53,202
but none of them are interested
in filing a complaint.
618
00:25:53,236 --> 00:25:54,870
- Understandable.
- Which is why he keeps doing
619
00:25:54,904 --> 00:25:56,538
- what he is doing.
- Well, he's revolting.
620
00:25:56,573 --> 00:25:59,408
There's no question, but the
victim isn't exactly perfect.
621
00:25:59,442 --> 00:26:01,276
I completely agree with you.
622
00:26:01,344 --> 00:26:03,245
She made a horrific decision,
623
00:26:03,279 --> 00:26:07,716
but this case is about
something bigger than Laura.
624
00:26:07,751 --> 00:26:11,086
How many more women are we gonna
let this guy victimize?
625
00:26:11,121 --> 00:26:15,424
I mean, win or lose, we need
to make a statement here.
626
00:26:15,458 --> 00:26:18,427
Okay.
You win.
627
00:26:18,461 --> 00:26:19,895
Pick him up.
628
00:26:19,929 --> 00:26:21,563
629
00:26:21,598 --> 00:26:23,432
We're doing the right thing.
630
00:26:23,466 --> 00:26:25,734
I know.
631
00:26:25,769 --> 00:26:28,437
That's what I'm worried about.
632
00:26:28,471 --> 00:26:30,439
633
00:26:33,982 --> 00:26:35,781
Yes, I had sex with these women,
634
00:26:35,816 --> 00:26:38,616
but I never recorded a damn thing.
635
00:26:38,618 --> 00:26:41,988
Mr. Metcalf, you can con
your desperate soccer moms,
636
00:26:42,022 --> 00:26:43,656
but you can't con us.
637
00:26:43,690 --> 00:26:46,125
- I never taped a damn thing.
- Okay, so who did?
638
00:26:46,159 --> 00:26:47,593
Mr. Zeng?
639
00:26:47,627 --> 00:26:49,495
What am I even doing here?
640
00:26:49,529 --> 00:26:51,030
I've done nothing wrong.
641
00:26:51,098 --> 00:26:52,598
Since when is having sex a crime?
642
00:26:52,632 --> 00:26:54,934
What you did isn't sex.
Trust me.
643
00:26:54,968 --> 00:26:56,936
If you arrested every guy
who ever lied to get women,
644
00:26:56,970 --> 00:26:58,537
you'd have 50 million men in prison.
645
00:26:58,605 --> 00:27:00,039
We're not here to debate
the ethics of your behavior,
646
00:27:00,107 --> 00:27:02,108
but we are willing to discuss a deal.
647
00:27:02,142 --> 00:27:04,010
If you are willing to plead guilty
648
00:27:04,044 --> 00:27:05,711
to sexual assault
in the third degree...
649
00:27:05,779 --> 00:27:08,614
Sexual assault? You kidding me?
650
00:27:08,648 --> 00:27:11,617
These chicks were begging for it.
If anything, they assaulted me.
651
00:27:11,651 --> 00:27:12,952
Yes or no?
652
00:27:12,986 --> 00:27:14,954
Kiss my ass.
653
00:27:14,988 --> 00:27:18,557
Mr. Metcalf, you are under arrest.
654
00:27:18,625 --> 00:27:20,826
You have the right to remain silent.
655
00:27:20,861 --> 00:27:22,161
Anything you say
656
00:27:22,195 --> 00:27:25,564
can and will be used
against you in a court of law.
657
00:27:25,632 --> 00:27:30,002
Okay, so this prosecutor's
gonna file rape charges?
658
00:27:30,037 --> 00:27:31,737
Yes.
659
00:27:31,805 --> 00:27:34,006
Hey, Justin.
660
00:27:34,041 --> 00:27:36,042
How you doing?
661
00:27:38,245 --> 00:27:41,080
Sorry, he's just...
he's having a hard time.
662
00:27:41,148 --> 00:27:43,215
- Understandable.
- He's just... he's terrified
663
00:27:43,250 --> 00:27:44,984
all of this is gonna become public,
664
00:27:45,018 --> 00:27:48,654
so...
[sighs]
665
00:27:48,688 --> 00:27:50,489
You think we can win this case?
666
00:27:50,524 --> 00:27:54,193
I think that we have
a pretty decent chance,
667
00:27:54,227 --> 00:27:57,730
and we are going to need you
to testify,
668
00:27:57,764 --> 00:27:59,165
to stand up there,
669
00:27:59,199 --> 00:28:04,103
tell that jury the depths
of Metcalf's deceit.
670
00:28:04,171 --> 00:28:06,605
It's just, you know,
my family, they're, um...
671
00:28:06,673 --> 00:28:08,941
they're ashamed, as you just saw.
672
00:28:09,009 --> 00:28:13,946
I mean, this Metcalf guy,
he... it's like he...
673
00:28:14,014 --> 00:28:17,583
he saw how weak and vulnerable
I was, you know?
674
00:28:17,617 --> 00:28:20,886
And he knew... he knew
how obsessed I was
675
00:28:20,921 --> 00:28:22,288
with getting Justin into Hudson.
676
00:28:22,355 --> 00:28:23,889
I understand.
677
00:28:23,924 --> 00:28:28,194
It's very easy to get lost
678
00:28:28,228 --> 00:28:29,962
in this private school madness.
679
00:28:30,030 --> 00:28:33,032
And he preys on every weakness
and... and doubt you possess.
680
00:28:33,066 --> 00:28:35,901
I just... I feel so stupid
681
00:28:35,936 --> 00:28:38,604
and pathetic.
682
00:28:38,638 --> 00:28:41,273
But what he did, I mean,
he... he made me hate myself
683
00:28:41,308 --> 00:28:44,276
even more than I do,
which is not easy.
684
00:28:44,311 --> 00:28:47,279
[solemn music]
685
00:28:47,314 --> 00:28:48,747
686
00:28:48,782 --> 00:28:52,751
I want him to feel the humiliation
and pain that I felt.
687
00:28:52,786 --> 00:28:55,754
688
00:28:55,789 --> 00:28:58,724
We're gonna do our best, Laura.
689
00:28:58,758 --> 00:29:00,993
690
00:29:01,061 --> 00:29:03,596
- That I can promise you.
- Okay.
691
00:29:03,630 --> 00:29:06,665
_
692
00:29:06,733 --> 00:29:08,134
First off, there is no proof
693
00:29:08,168 --> 00:29:10,803
that my client actually
recorded these sex tapes.
694
00:29:10,837 --> 00:29:14,106
None. Moreover, Laura Collett is
the only woman on these tapes
695
00:29:14,141 --> 00:29:15,774
who's filed a police report.
696
00:29:15,809 --> 00:29:17,343
The other women
have not come forward,
697
00:29:17,410 --> 00:29:20,779
and they have refused to
cooperate with the prosecution.
698
00:29:20,814 --> 00:29:23,149
As such, these tapes are irrelevant,
699
00:29:23,183 --> 00:29:24,750
and without question,
700
00:29:24,784 --> 00:29:26,986
more prejudicial than probative.
701
00:29:27,020 --> 00:29:29,321
If the prosecution wants
to talk about sex tapes
702
00:29:29,356 --> 00:29:30,322
then they should charge my client
703
00:29:30,357 --> 00:29:31,857
with unlawful surveillance.
704
00:29:31,925 --> 00:29:33,692
- Don't worry, we intend to.
- That's great,
705
00:29:33,760 --> 00:29:35,361
but we're here to try a rape case.
706
00:29:35,428 --> 00:29:39,131
So the video pertaining
to Mrs. Collett is admissible.
707
00:29:39,166 --> 00:29:41,200
The rest of it stays out.
708
00:29:41,268 --> 00:29:43,369
Your Honor, there's a pattern
of conduct here...
709
00:29:43,436 --> 00:29:47,206
Like I said, Laura Collett is in.
710
00:29:47,274 --> 00:29:49,775
The other ladies are out.
711
00:29:57,784 --> 00:29:59,652
Being a prosecutor isn't enough.
712
00:29:59,686 --> 00:30:01,353
You want to be a legislator, too.
713
00:30:01,388 --> 00:30:03,622
Excuse me?
714
00:30:04,958 --> 00:30:06,892
Correct me if I'm wrong,
Mr. Barba,
715
00:30:06,960 --> 00:30:09,121
but your job is to bring cases
that are actually crimes
716
00:30:09,129 --> 00:30:10,296
under the New York Criminal Code.
717
00:30:10,330 --> 00:30:12,064
We presented the facts
to the grand jury,
718
00:30:12,132 --> 00:30:13,732
who delivered an indictment.
719
00:30:13,800 --> 00:30:15,668
I once indicted a ham
and cheese sandwich
720
00:30:15,702 --> 00:30:17,036
for triple homicide.
721
00:30:17,070 --> 00:30:18,990
Well, the defense filed
the motion to dismiss...
722
00:30:19,005 --> 00:30:20,855
You want me to kick a rape case
723
00:30:20,890 --> 00:30:24,074
in this political climate
without hearing all of the evidence?
724
00:30:25,812 --> 00:30:28,314
What's really going on here?
You want press?
725
00:30:28,348 --> 00:30:30,249
You're laying the bed
for a political run?
726
00:30:30,317 --> 00:30:31,917
With all due respect,
Judge Bertuccio,
727
00:30:31,985 --> 00:30:33,185
you're out of line.
728
00:30:33,220 --> 00:30:34,920
Oh, be careful, Counselor.
729
00:30:34,988 --> 00:30:36,309
Just because you preface something
730
00:30:36,323 --> 00:30:38,691
with "all due respect"
doesn't mean it's respectable.
731
00:30:38,725 --> 00:30:41,994
- I didn't intend to...
- Do not use my courtroom
732
00:30:42,028 --> 00:30:43,162
for your own agenda.
733
00:30:43,196 --> 00:30:45,231
Do you hear me?
734
00:30:45,265 --> 00:30:47,066
Are you asking me
to dismiss the case?
735
00:30:47,100 --> 00:30:48,100
No, no.
[chuckles]
736
00:30:48,168 --> 00:30:49,368
I would never ask a prosecutor
737
00:30:49,369 --> 00:30:53,172
to dismiss a case that he believes
is worthy of the court's time.
738
00:30:53,206 --> 00:30:56,775
That would be an abuse
of judicial power.
739
00:30:56,843 --> 00:30:59,778
[tense music]
740
00:30:59,846 --> 00:31:01,087
741
00:31:01,089 --> 00:31:04,082
_
742
00:31:04,084 --> 00:31:06,452
Laura Collett met
the defendant on the campus
743
00:31:06,519 --> 00:31:08,787
of Hudson University.
744
00:31:08,855 --> 00:31:11,457
He pretended to be
a man named Alden Kessler,
745
00:31:11,524 --> 00:31:13,792
the Director of Admissions of Hudson.
746
00:31:13,860 --> 00:31:17,696
Laura and the defendant began
to communicate, socialize.
747
00:31:17,731 --> 00:31:19,064
Eventually, they had sex,
748
00:31:19,099 --> 00:31:21,300
but Laura Collett thought
749
00:31:21,368 --> 00:31:24,303
she was having sex
with Alden Kessler,
750
00:31:24,371 --> 00:31:26,705
a distinguished academic
from Philadelphia
751
00:31:26,740 --> 00:31:28,207
and a graduate of Harvard,
752
00:31:28,241 --> 00:31:30,142
not Tom Metcalf,
753
00:31:30,210 --> 00:31:33,779
an undistinguished security
guard from Ridgewood, Queens,
754
00:31:33,813 --> 00:31:36,315
and a graduate of
P.S. 346.
755
00:31:36,383 --> 00:31:39,985
As such, Laura Collett
never consented
756
00:31:40,053 --> 00:31:41,253
to having sex with the defendant.
757
00:31:41,288 --> 00:31:45,824
She consented to having sex
with Alden Kessler.
758
00:31:45,892 --> 00:31:47,493
This, ladies and gentlemen,
is not a lie.
759
00:31:47,560 --> 00:31:49,428
It's not a clever ruse.
760
00:31:49,462 --> 00:31:51,463
It's rape.
761
00:31:54,067 --> 00:31:58,837
My client, Tom Metcalf,
is an imaginative,
762
00:31:58,905 --> 00:32:01,440
fast-talking,
self-proclaimed ladies' man.
763
00:32:01,474 --> 00:32:04,810
Sure, he exaggerates and embellishes
764
00:32:04,844 --> 00:32:08,514
the facts and circumstances
of his humble, mediocre life.
765
00:32:08,581 --> 00:32:10,749
Not too long ago,
766
00:32:10,784 --> 00:32:13,185
guys like this were
called pickup artists
767
00:32:13,253 --> 00:32:15,321
or playboys.
768
00:32:15,355 --> 00:32:16,455
Today, in an attempt
769
00:32:16,489 --> 00:32:18,357
to gain media attention for himself
770
00:32:18,425 --> 00:32:21,026
and to advance his own personal,
771
00:32:21,094 --> 00:32:23,829
liberal, political agenda,
772
00:32:23,863 --> 00:32:28,000
Mr. Barba wants to
call them rapists.
773
00:32:31,971 --> 00:32:35,040
Laura, did you ever agree
to have sex with Tom Metcalf?
774
00:32:35,108 --> 00:32:36,542
No.
775
00:32:36,609 --> 00:32:38,043
I never would have
spent time with him,
776
00:32:38,111 --> 00:32:41,380
let alone...
have sex with him,
777
00:32:41,448 --> 00:32:43,048
if I knew who he really was.
778
00:32:43,116 --> 00:32:45,984
- Why?
- Because my only objective
779
00:32:46,019 --> 00:32:49,054
was to help my son get into Hudson.
780
00:32:49,122 --> 00:32:51,857
It was more of
a business transaction.
781
00:32:51,891 --> 00:32:53,525
Thank you.
782
00:32:53,560 --> 00:32:54,893
Nothing further.
783
00:32:54,961 --> 00:32:56,795
A business transaction?
784
00:32:56,830 --> 00:32:57,863
Like a prostitute?
785
00:32:57,897 --> 00:33:00,032
- Objection.
- Overruled.
786
00:33:00,066 --> 00:33:02,067
Answer the question.
787
00:33:04,404 --> 00:33:08,140
I didn't think of it like that.
788
00:33:08,174 --> 00:33:11,477
He didn't give me money, but...
789
00:33:11,511 --> 00:33:12,911
I suppose you're right.
790
00:33:12,979 --> 00:33:14,079
I was giving him sex,
791
00:33:14,147 --> 00:33:16,582
and he was giving me
something of value,
792
00:33:16,649 --> 00:33:18,317
immense value, in return.
793
00:33:18,351 --> 00:33:22,921
Again, I'm not...
I'm not proud of what I did.
794
00:33:22,989 --> 00:33:26,024
I was just trying to help my son,
795
00:33:26,059 --> 00:33:30,095
and I know...
I know this sounds silly, but...
796
00:33:30,163 --> 00:33:32,331
I dropped out of college
after two years,
797
00:33:32,365 --> 00:33:36,435
and I just... I just
wanted him to be better.
798
00:33:36,503 --> 00:33:40,406
I wanted him to enjoy
all the... all the things
799
00:33:40,440 --> 00:33:44,076
that a prestigious college
education offers.
800
00:33:44,110 --> 00:33:46,945
I was...
801
00:33:47,013 --> 00:33:49,114
willing to do anything.
802
00:33:49,182 --> 00:33:50,349
I mean, we have money
803
00:33:50,383 --> 00:33:53,018
but not enough to buy our way,
804
00:33:53,052 --> 00:33:57,256
so I... I thought...
I thought this would help.
805
00:33:57,290 --> 00:34:01,627
Using sex to influence a decision
that's meant to be based on merit?
806
00:34:01,694 --> 00:34:03,462
It's a hell of a way
to help your son.
807
00:34:03,530 --> 00:34:06,131
I think we get the idea,
Miss Staines. Move on.
808
00:34:06,199 --> 00:34:09,601
So, Mrs. Collett,
809
00:34:09,636 --> 00:34:13,071
minutes before you overdosed
on Valium and alcohol,
810
00:34:13,106 --> 00:34:16,308
you sent a text
to Mr. Metcalf saying,
811
00:34:16,376 --> 00:34:17,643
"Incredible night.
812
00:34:17,710 --> 00:34:19,445
"Just gonna say it.
813
00:34:19,479 --> 00:34:21,947
Best sex ever."
814
00:34:21,981 --> 00:34:25,484
But now you're saying you
didn't consent to having sex.
815
00:34:25,552 --> 00:34:29,221
I sent the text before
I knew who he was,
816
00:34:29,255 --> 00:34:31,223
and I was just
pretending I enjoyed it.
817
00:34:31,257 --> 00:34:34,092
So you lied?
818
00:34:34,127 --> 00:34:35,961
Yes.
819
00:34:35,995 --> 00:34:38,096
What else are you lying about,
Mrs. Collett?
820
00:34:38,131 --> 00:34:40,265
- Objection.
- Withdrawn.
821
00:34:40,300 --> 00:34:42,000
Nothing further.
822
00:34:42,068 --> 00:34:43,435
[tense music]
823
00:34:43,470 --> 00:34:47,573
Laura, did you send the defendant
another text message that night?
824
00:34:47,607 --> 00:34:49,575
Yes, when I found out
825
00:34:49,609 --> 00:34:52,478
who he was,
826
00:34:52,512 --> 00:34:55,981
I texted him again.
827
00:34:56,015 --> 00:34:58,650
I said that he raped me
828
00:34:58,685 --> 00:35:01,420
and I hoped he burned in hell.
829
00:35:01,454 --> 00:35:05,958
830
00:35:05,992 --> 00:35:07,626
The People rest.
831
00:35:07,660 --> 00:35:11,330
832
00:35:11,364 --> 00:35:15,100
The Defense calls Gary Bell.
833
00:35:15,134 --> 00:35:16,969
Your Honor, may I approach?
834
00:35:17,003 --> 00:35:22,003
835
00:35:22,108 --> 00:35:23,442
Gary Bell's not on the witness list.
836
00:35:23,476 --> 00:35:25,210
We have no idea who he is
or why he's being called.
837
00:35:25,278 --> 00:35:27,045
He's a doorman at the Strathmore.
838
00:35:27,113 --> 00:35:28,347
He just recently came forward.
839
00:35:28,381 --> 00:35:30,516
And what is the crux
of his testimony?
840
00:35:30,550 --> 00:35:34,686
That he heard Mrs. Collett
refer to Tom Metcalf as Tom,
841
00:35:34,721 --> 00:35:37,556
not Alden.
She knew who Metcalf was.
842
00:35:37,624 --> 00:35:39,391
After the third or fourth time
they had sex,
843
00:35:39,459 --> 00:35:40,392
Metcalf came clean.
844
00:35:40,460 --> 00:35:42,227
He told her who he really was,
845
00:35:42,295 --> 00:35:44,696
and she kept sleeping
with him anyway.
846
00:35:44,731 --> 00:35:47,366
So much for no consent.
847
00:35:47,400 --> 00:35:50,235
848
00:35:50,303 --> 00:35:51,503
Metcalf says that
you knew his real name,
849
00:35:51,538 --> 00:35:53,071
that you had sex with him
three or four times.
850
00:35:53,139 --> 00:35:54,373
That's a lie!
851
00:35:54,407 --> 00:35:57,075
We had sex once, at the hotel,
and that is it,
852
00:35:57,143 --> 00:35:59,978
and I never... I never knew
his real name until that night.
853
00:36:00,013 --> 00:36:01,213
Why would I put myself
through all this
854
00:36:01,247 --> 00:36:03,382
if I knew who this pig really was?
855
00:36:03,416 --> 00:36:05,517
My son can barely look at me!
856
00:36:05,552 --> 00:36:07,419
My husband is going
to file for divorce.
857
00:36:07,487 --> 00:36:09,655
We believe you. We do.
858
00:36:09,689 --> 00:36:12,424
Now, do you remember seeing this man?
859
00:36:12,492 --> 00:36:14,993
Gary Bell, he was the doorman
at the building
860
00:36:15,028 --> 00:36:16,261
where you two had drinks one night.
861
00:36:16,329 --> 00:36:18,163
I don't know.
I don't know... maybe.
862
00:36:18,197 --> 00:36:22,167
What difference does it make?
I never called him Tom, ever.
863
00:36:25,772 --> 00:36:28,707
He's gonna get away with this, isn't he?
864
00:36:28,741 --> 00:36:30,542
This whole... this whole thing,
this whole case
865
00:36:30,577 --> 00:36:34,613
has been a big waste of time.
866
00:36:34,681 --> 00:36:36,782
Why did you tell me to testify?
867
00:36:36,849 --> 00:36:41,849
868
00:36:48,083 --> 00:36:50,416
Okay, so what do we know
about this doorman?
869
00:36:50,451 --> 00:36:53,907
He and Metcalf went to the same high
school. Found the yearbook online.
870
00:36:54,211 --> 00:36:55,778
Here's a picture of them
together in shop class.
871
00:36:55,846 --> 00:36:58,414
So they know each other,
but why is he willing to lie for him
872
00:36:58,448 --> 00:37:00,916
and give him access
to a luxury condo?
873
00:37:00,951 --> 00:37:02,518
It's about more than friendship.
874
00:37:02,552 --> 00:37:05,254
I spoke with Bell's supervisor
at the last hotel he worked at...
875
00:37:05,288 --> 00:37:07,456
He was the night manager
at the Mapleton, right?
876
00:37:07,524 --> 00:37:10,459
Till he got fired for setting up
a camera in the women's restroom.
877
00:37:10,494 --> 00:37:12,895
Well, there you go.
He's a watcher.
878
00:37:12,930 --> 00:37:15,998
No wonder we never found any
sex tapes on Metcalf's computer.
879
00:37:16,066 --> 00:37:17,233
Because he wasn't filming the vics.
880
00:37:17,267 --> 00:37:18,501
His friend Bell was.
881
00:37:18,569 --> 00:37:21,170
Okay, but CSU said
that there were no prints
882
00:37:21,238 --> 00:37:23,072
and no evidence on that camera.
883
00:37:23,106 --> 00:37:26,642
Yeah, but the doorman
doesn't know that.
884
00:37:31,415 --> 00:37:33,249
I'm not sure what we're doing here.
885
00:37:33,283 --> 00:37:36,085
Mr. Bell's testimony
is not going to change.
886
00:37:36,119 --> 00:37:37,353
He heard what he heard.
887
00:37:37,421 --> 00:37:40,189
- And he filmed what he filmed.
- Sorry?
888
00:37:40,257 --> 00:37:43,326
You filmed your friend Metcalf
and his various victims having sex.
889
00:37:43,360 --> 00:37:44,493
I didn't film nothing.
890
00:37:44,528 --> 00:37:46,095
Your fingerprints were
all over the camera.
891
00:37:46,129 --> 00:37:47,430
You might as well
have autographed it.
892
00:37:47,464 --> 00:37:48,865
Unlawful surveillance is a felony.
893
00:37:48,932 --> 00:37:50,933
That means prison, and we'll be
filing those charges soon.
894
00:37:50,968 --> 00:37:52,935
The only question is...
895
00:37:52,970 --> 00:37:56,639
will I also be filing
perjury charges?
896
00:37:56,673 --> 00:38:00,042
You agreed to lie for Metcalf
because he threatened to out you
897
00:38:00,110 --> 00:38:02,511
for making those
illegal sex videos, right?
898
00:38:02,546 --> 00:38:05,214
But now that we know
about those videos too,
899
00:38:05,282 --> 00:38:07,350
you got no reason to lie for Metcalf.
900
00:38:07,384 --> 00:38:09,485
I'd err on the side
of telling the truth.
901
00:38:09,519 --> 00:38:12,655
Probably gonna be better for you
in the long run.
902
00:38:12,689 --> 00:38:15,458
- Maybe I misheard...
- No, no, stop talking.
903
00:38:17,160 --> 00:38:19,629
If, for some reason,
904
00:38:19,663 --> 00:38:23,065
my client thinks he made a mistake,
905
00:38:23,133 --> 00:38:24,533
you'll take that into account
when it comes time
906
00:38:24,568 --> 00:38:27,570
to plead out the illegal
surveillance charge?
907
00:38:29,306 --> 00:38:32,241
_
908
00:38:32,309 --> 00:38:34,977
Your Honor, the Defense no
longer plans to call Gary Bell.
909
00:38:35,012 --> 00:38:38,047
In fact, we don't intend
to call any witnesses.
910
00:38:38,081 --> 00:38:40,716
You're, uh, resting case
before presenting it?
911
00:38:40,751 --> 00:38:42,585
Correct.
912
00:38:42,653 --> 00:38:45,087
You wish to present a closing
argument, Miss Staines?
913
00:38:45,155 --> 00:38:46,355
Yes, Your Honor.
914
00:38:46,390 --> 00:38:50,393
Ladies and gentlemen,
my client isn't perfect.
915
00:38:50,427 --> 00:38:53,029
Truth is, he's not even decent.
916
00:38:53,063 --> 00:38:55,765
If he tried to date me,
I would laugh at him,
917
00:38:55,832 --> 00:38:57,566
or I'd punch him in the face.
918
00:38:57,601 --> 00:39:02,601
What I'm saying is,
he's disgusting, not a rapist.
919
00:39:04,107 --> 00:39:06,742
Mr. Metcalf is a sad,
frustrated man
920
00:39:06,777 --> 00:39:09,278
who longed for success
but never found it,
921
00:39:09,346 --> 00:39:13,049
so he creates characters in his mind,
922
00:39:13,083 --> 00:39:15,251
successful, respected characters,
923
00:39:15,285 --> 00:39:17,086
like an actor
924
00:39:17,120 --> 00:39:20,256
or an undercover detective might do,
925
00:39:20,290 --> 00:39:23,359
and in the course of assuming
these alternate identities,
926
00:39:23,393 --> 00:39:25,761
he meets lots of women
927
00:39:25,796 --> 00:39:28,264
and sometimes has sex with them.
928
00:39:28,298 --> 00:39:31,133
It's not an ethical or moral way
929
00:39:31,201 --> 00:39:33,302
to conduct one's romantic life,
930
00:39:33,370 --> 00:39:37,106
but it's not criminal, either.
931
00:39:37,140 --> 00:39:40,476
Mr. Barba wants this court
to pass judgment
932
00:39:40,544 --> 00:39:43,546
on my client for lying to women,
933
00:39:43,580 --> 00:39:46,282
but as of right now, being a jackass
934
00:39:46,316 --> 00:39:49,485
isn't a crime under New York law,
935
00:39:49,553 --> 00:39:51,787
which means that you, the jury,
936
00:39:51,822 --> 00:39:53,622
have a legal obligation
937
00:39:53,657 --> 00:39:57,660
to find Tom Metcalf not guilty.
938
00:39:57,728 --> 00:40:01,664
939
00:40:01,732 --> 00:40:03,666
A compelling closing, Miss Staines.
940
00:40:03,734 --> 00:40:05,101
Thank you.
941
00:40:05,135 --> 00:40:09,505
And I'm sure the jury
found it persuasive, as well.
942
00:40:09,573 --> 00:40:11,073
How about you, Mr. Barba?
943
00:40:11,108 --> 00:40:12,808
What was your take?
944
00:40:12,843 --> 00:40:16,112
Did you find it illuminating,
per chance?
945
00:40:16,146 --> 00:40:18,347
Your Honor, I stand by the evidence.
946
00:40:18,415 --> 00:40:20,516
I don't care about the evidence.
947
00:40:20,584 --> 00:40:24,186
I care about the law,
or the lack thereof.
948
00:40:24,254 --> 00:40:26,355
You're a talented prosecutor
with a bright future,
949
00:40:26,423 --> 00:40:28,190
and if I were you,
I would take Miss Staines out
950
00:40:28,258 --> 00:40:29,425
for a cup of that gourmet coffee
951
00:40:29,459 --> 00:40:31,160
everyone drinks nowadays
952
00:40:31,194 --> 00:40:35,131
and beg her to accept the plea
to a lesser charge,
953
00:40:35,165 --> 00:40:38,501
which I'm sure she'll accept,
because she's a reasonable woman
954
00:40:38,535 --> 00:40:42,838
and knows that her client
is a repulsive human being.
955
00:40:42,873 --> 00:40:45,541
Judges and prosecutors
are supposed to enforce the laws
956
00:40:45,609 --> 00:40:48,210
that exist, not the ones
they think should exist,
957
00:40:48,278 --> 00:40:50,646
and when they lose sight of that,
958
00:40:50,680 --> 00:40:53,149
they run the risk of getting
their pants pulled down
959
00:40:53,183 --> 00:40:58,183
in public and having their
sterling reputations sullied.
960
00:41:01,625 --> 00:41:03,859
Criminal impersonation
in the second degree?
961
00:41:03,894 --> 00:41:05,661
That's a misdemeanor.
It's the best I could do.
962
00:41:05,695 --> 00:41:08,164
Bertuccio was prepared
to overturn the verdict.
963
00:41:08,198 --> 00:41:09,365
Wait, he said that?
964
00:41:09,399 --> 00:41:12,535
In so many words.
965
00:41:12,569 --> 00:41:14,804
- Have you told Laura?
- No.
966
00:41:14,838 --> 00:41:17,540
I called her a few times,
but I don't know where she is.
967
00:41:17,574 --> 00:41:19,809
Okay, I'll find her.
968
00:41:19,843 --> 00:41:22,311
Break the news to her in person.
969
00:41:23,713 --> 00:41:25,815

00:41:27,851 --> 00:41:29,151
972
00:41:29,186 --> 00:41:30,486
What happened?
973
00:41:30,520 --> 00:41:34,356
Mr. Collett, is it Laura?
974
00:41:34,391 --> 00:41:36,325
Watch him.
975
00:41:36,359 --> 00:41:37,893
Excuse me.
Coming through.
976
00:41:37,928 --> 00:41:40,663
Oh, no, my baby!
[sobbing]
977
00:41:40,697 --> 00:41:42,665
Oh, my baby!
978
00:41:42,699 --> 00:41:44,433
Oh, no!
979
00:41:44,501 --> 00:41:49,501
980

00:41:53,844 --> 00:41:56,278
982
00:41:56,346 --> 00:41:58,614
No!
