All language subtitles for Law & Order s17e08 Release.

NARRATOR:
In the criminal justice system

the people are represented by two
separate yet equally important groups,

the police
who investigate crime

and the district attorneys
who prosecute the offenders.

These are their stories.

(CLUB MUSIC PLAYING)

(PEOPLE CHEERING)

(LOUD CHATTERING)

(WHOOPING)

CHRIS: Yeah!
Let's see what you got!

Oh, that's just special.

(CHUCKLING)

What you got underneath
those shirts, ladies?

(ALL CHEERING)

You got something under there
you wanna show me?

You girls ready for me?

I'm ready to be the baddest
babe at this party!

Whoo! You gonna take
that smack from her?

No!

(GIRLS LAUGHING)

All right.

We're gonna get
so naked for you!

Yeah, we are!

Hang on, hang on, hang on.

Show me you're serious.
Make out for me.

Okay!
Okay!

Oh! I think these babes are
ready to get very, very bad!

(BOTH LAUGHING)

Let's go, let's go in.

(GIRLS HOOTING)

This is amazing!

Hey, Chris! Hey, Chris,
you want a little taste?

Mmm...
Hell, no, I'm goin' first!

Aw, now, ladies,
ladies, fair is fair.

Mmm-hmm?
Both at the same time.

Ooh!

(ALL LAUGHING)

It's all yours, baby.

Ready? Ready.

One, two...
One, two...

(GIRLS WHOOPING)

Dude! What
the hell is that?

GIRL: Oh, my God.

All right, cut the tape.
Cut the... Cut the tape!

DOA's Hudson Moore, 26.

I know that name. He spouts
off in the tabloids a lot.

Mmm. You can say
what you like

when you have five
billion in family money.

"Babes Being Bad."
Is this his operation?

Yeah, apparently Mr. Moore
just came to the party

to catch up on his
bare breast quofient

That's who owns it,
Chris Drake.

He called it in.

I'll take the body.

Mr. Drake? I got it.
Detective Green.

What a nightmare.

You two were friends?
Yeah.

Do you know of anybody that
would want to hurt him?

No, I...
I don't know.

Anybody get unruly
at your party tonight?

You get out of line,
you get tossed.

Okay, did anybody
get tossed tonight?

No. And I'd have known,
I... I keep a close watch.

I'm still gonna need to talk
to your security guards.

I'm telling you,
I would've known.

This isn't a frat party.

This is a multimillion-dollar
business!

Yeah and there's a dead man
in the middle of it,

so if I need to speak to your security
guards, I'm going to, all right?

Yeah, yeah, yeah.
All yours.

Thanks.
Murder weapon.

Well...

Somebody went to
town on Mr. Moore.

And left out the window.
Detectives, take a look at this.

There's a partial bloody
print on the sill.

How much do you think
this punk, Drake makes

getting these girls
to expose themselves?

I don't know, but I
hear it's a lot.

And look what
they get in return.

Hot pants.

Well, hot pants?
Dignity?

Add booze to the mix,
look where you end up.

So where's Latent
with the murder weapon?

No usable prints
on the bottle,

and the ones off the window
frame aren't in the system.

And we talked
to all of security,

nobody saw Hudson Moore leave
that party or get on the bus.

What about the partygoers?

Ten girls said they talked
to Hudson Moore

or were so hammered
they imagined they did.

None remember
seeing him leave,

though a few do recall
being groped by him.

So this kid's a class act.

Yeah, at a class party.

Any specific enemies?

None yet. But the tabloids eat
him up for his nasty mouth.

Spouts off
about his money,

rags on his famous
ex-girlfriends.

He has a current girlfriend?

Changes 'em like socks.

Ugh.

I'm so glad
I didn't have daughters.

Hey, a dump from Hudson
Moore's cell phone

shows that his last call
was from a Bryce Moore.

I think that's
his older brother.

It is, listen, he left
a voice message,

"Duck me as long as you like,

"but someday you will have to
answer for your actions."

Huh.

Go see if Bryce was
at the party last night

and see how he's taking
his brother's death.

Forgive me,
we're all devastated.

Of course.

Our records show that you called
your brother at around 11:15?

Yes, okay, I remember.

What did you mean by
"Answer for his actions"?

What had he done?

Have you ever heard
the name Hepplewhite?

Yeah, seen it on
a box of crackers.

Old family, old money.

Hudson and I grew up
with the grandson, Paul,

who somehow stumbled onto the
notion that he's a documentarian.

His first film
is titled Idle Hands.

Right. About rich people.

Heirs.

My brother let them follow
him around for three days.

Embarrassed himself, us.

When was the last time you saw
your brother, Mr. Moore?

Six weeks ago.

Can you account for your
whereabouts last night?

I was at a charity auction
for The Sons of the Civil War.

Until 11:30.

And you have got
a hell of a nerve.

Accusing me
of killing my brother.

I haven't accused you
of anything yet.

Was there anything unusual
going on in his life lately?

His most recent trauma was Samantha
Beresford breaking up with him.

We haven't seen that name
associated with him.

Because she's from
a good family.

Who knows how to keep
their name out of the paper.

Now are we through?

We were together six months.

Then Hudson insulted my friend
in the press. That killed it.

When was the last time
you saw him?

Last week,
at Catalyst.

How was he behaving
that night?

Anything on his mind,
family issues?

'Cause of the documentary?

He couldn't have
cared less.

He was just Hudson,
drunk party boy.

Flirty.

Another reason
we broke up.

Did something happen
that night?

He got to talking with
some little B and T ho.

CASSADY: She a friend of his?
Never.

She was pure country.

I thought she came
with Chris Drake,

like he brought her
as a "screw you" to me.

To make me jealous.

Me and Chris were
together for 10 minutes

before I hooked up
with Hudson.

So there was some kind of love triangle
between you, Chris, and Hudson?

Not according to me. I
couldn't take Chris seriously.

Why not?

Porn money?

My grandmother
would not dig that.

I broke it off early.

How did Chris take it?

Not so great.

Sendin' her four emails a day,
voicemails, text messages, flowers.

So what? She's cute.

You're up to your neck in cute.
She's old money.

Yeah?
And I'm new money.

It all spends
the same, really.

Not according to
Samantha Beresford.

(SIGHING) There's
no love triangle.

Was she workin' me a little?
Sure.

But she wasn't involved
with Hudson anymore,

and he didn't care
about Samantha anyway.

The guy didn't care
about anybody.

So Why'd you
hang out with him?

For his money.

See, I wanna buy
my distributor,

and I wanted him
to front me.

You don't have
your own money?

Two most important
rules of business.

You ready?
Takin' notes?

One, never take no
for an answer.

Two, never use
your own money.

First question in detective
work, you ready?

Where were you when
Hudson Moore was killed?

Inside at the party,
working.

Question two,
who can back that up?

My bodyguard, Deon.

When I'm workin' a party,
never leaves my side.

ED: The bodyguard
backs up Drake.

He said he was at that
party all night long,

didn't go near that bus
'til they found the body.

Well, how long has this
bodyguard been on the payroll?

Since the beginning,
four years.

Mmm-hmm.
Yeah, I got the same thing.

But, Drake's got a zillion
dollars in the bank,

he got line of women
up to his door,

would he murder
over a woman?

Well, it wouldn't be the first
time a man's killed over a woman,

especially when that woman
can elevate his status.

Hey, we got somebody to
talk to over at Rikers.

Richard "The Bomb" Condell.

A music producer,
runs in their circle.

What was the collar?

Did a hand-to-hand with
undercover from Bronx narcotics.

Cocaine.

He had a watch
in his pocket,

and the inscription
on the back said,

"Hudson, Happy 21st Birthday,
Love, Dad."

Also had drink tickets on
him from the B.B.B party.

Was Hudson Moore wearing
a watch when he died?

Wasn't on the body.

Go to Rikers.

I didn't take his watch! I went
to the party to return it to him!

And how'd you get it
in the first place?

He used to date
my girlfriend Tara.

He gave it to her.

But when they broke up, he
insulted her in the press,

so she wanted to throw
it in the East River.

I said,
"Let's give it back."

You could've
just mailed it.

It's a hundred thousand-dollar
Patek Phillippe.

Richard...

You want us
to help you or not?

Ask Chris Drake.

He got me
thrown out of the party.

He was with Hudson when
I tried to talk to him.

Well, when was this?

10:00, by the bus.

Chris and Hudson
were talkin' to some girl,

I came out of the party, was,
like, "Hey, douche bag,"

and then Drake radioed for
a bouncer to boot me.

You saw them talking outside
that party bus at 10:00?

Right!
Who's the girl?

I don't know, just some
chick at the party!

Well, what did
she look like?

Uh, white,
uh, blonde hair...

Young, cute.

Like all of 'em.

I'd like to know why the hell
you believe The Bomb over me.

Because The Bomb's timeline
actually checks out.

When Hudson Moore died, The
Bomb was tryin' to buy coke.

We talked
to his dealers.

And he was very honest.
Unlike yourself.

Now why did you tell me you weren't
anywhere near the bus that night?

Come on, man, my friend
had just gotten killed,

I wasn't thinking
straight, okay?

Your emails to
Samantha Beresford.

Oh, please.
This is a waste of time.

Sit down!

I ain't playin' with you,
sit down.

"Hudson screws
anything that moves.

"Why don't you spend time with
someone who respects you?"

That may prove
that I'm a sap,

but not that I had anything to
do with Hudson being killed.

It's called motive.

And if we have an eyewitness
that saw you at that party bus,

that's called opportunity.

CASSADY: No one is sayin'
this is premeditated, Chris.

Spur of the moment,
things got outta hand.

No, wrong!

Have anything to do with
that girl you were with?

(LAUGHING) Buddy, there were
300 girls at that party.

Sorry if I can't
remember all of them.

I'm done talking,
I want my lawyer.

ED: Good,
it's out of our hands.

I want my lawyer
right now!

(ED slsl-ls)

Bad news.

Oh, for us or him?

You. Come on.

We searched all the
video from the party

for footage that
featured the bus.

This is from an exterior
surveillance camera.

So, at 10:45, Chris Drake
unlocks the party bus

and gets on,
followed by a girl.

And nothing happens
for 12 minutes.

Then Drake gets off, shakes hands
with his friend, Hudson Moore,

they chat a little, then Moore
goes inside the bus.

But Moore never
gets off the bus.

What about the girl?

She doesn't, either.

The next person we see get
on the bus is Drake at 12:45

accompanied by
two more girls

and a guy
with a camera.

They all go inside
the bus together

and that's when
they found Moore DOA.

So our mystery girl
killed Hudson Moore.

And Chris Drake
knows who she is.

Well, he's lawyered up.

That bodyguard lied to us.

Let's make sure he
doesn't lie to us again.

Can I see it one more time?
Yeah.

Deon, you lied to us.
Take another look.

I didn't lie
to you guys.

I don't remember Drake leaving
the party or being near the bus.

We find that
real convenient.

It was a busy night!

Look, man,
if I find out

you can put a name to this face
and you didn't say anything,

that's hindering prosecution,
and that's your ass.

I don't remember
any girl, all right?

Look, we know Drake is
your meal ticket, okay,

so what do we gotta do? Play footsie?
Twenty Questions?

I'm still not gonna
remember the girl.

Was she on a guest list?

Look, the guys, they need
to be on the guest list.

Girls...

It's up to the discretion
of the guy at the door.

She gets in
if she's slutty?

Photogenic.

There's video cameras everywhere
during these parties.

Which means that
any girl at this party

could be in
these videos, right?

Our motto is, "The drinks cost
nothin', but they're not for free."

So everybody has to sign
a release from, right?

Why didn't you just
tell us that before?

Because without
a subpoena, I can't!

It would be my ass!

Drake would have my job.

It's a hell of a job you're
tryin' to hold on to, bro.

Sorry, there were a lot
of girls at that shindig.

Sweetheart, that is you
behind the bar.

Yeah, but...

Well, from this
video footage,

it looked like your conversation
lasted a lot longer

than a drink order.

Like she was asking
how to get in the VIP?

We don't know,
you tell us!

That's the only other
conversation I had at the party.

It was drink orders, or "How
do I get near Chris Drake?"

Okay, how many times
did that happen?

At least five times.

Did any of them mention
the name Hudson Moore?

No, they just
said Chris Drake.

You know what?

Why don't you stop and
think a second, okay?

Nicole.
One was Nicole.

She gave me 50 bucks
and she was a blonde.

Thank you.

I'm getting depressed.

Three hundred girls dying to
flash for a second of fame.

Hey, any more
Nicole's over there?

No. Just those three.

I mean, don't they get it?
The video is forever.

(LAUGHS) So is anonymity
and boredom

if you're a teenager
from Queens or Yonkers, or...

I'm from Queens, I never had
the urge to strip on camera,

much less kill a guy!

Yeah?

Uh, great. Thanks.

Any of those Nicoles
have a record?

Nope.

No prints in the system.
Fantastic.

Yeah, I got on camera. At least I think so.
I hope so, anyway.

Guess I'll have to buy
the DVD and find out.

So you were
really trashed?

Well, that's their MO.

They get you bombed so you'll
show your stuff, or worse.

Worse how?

Well, have you
seen the tapes?

Yeah.
It's pretty tame.

They're getting more
into serious hardcore.

A friend of mine
got on the bus

at a Fort Lauderdale
party last month?

It was like toys, three-ways,
the whole shebang,

so to speak.

But I just
lifted my shirt.

Or so you think.

(GIGGLING) Oh, my gosh, this is,
like, the most hilarious thing ever.

Oh. yeah?

Did you get on that
party bus that night?

No, but I would've.

Did you talk to Chris
Drake or Hudson Moore?

I actually spent most of
the time in the corner

barfing at the party, 'cause they
were passing out those Jell-O Shots.

You know, I'd actually prefer
not to give you my fingerprints

if I don't have to.

Well, it's just so
we can rule you out.

But won't they go into
a file or something?

Does that worry you?

No, I just...

Maybe I'm being
paranoid.

I'm taking this
sociology class,

and we've just gone over all the
ways that the government watches us,

so I'd just
rather not. Okay?

Okay, but you were at that
party the other night, right?

Mmm-hmm.

So did you go
to the VIP room,

see Chris Drake,
Hudson Moore?

No.

ED: You ever met
those dudes before?

No.

No?

I just thought it would be fun.
The party, I mean.

Okay. Well, if you think of
anything else that could help.

Oh, sorry,
gave you two.

Thanks.

That was slick, let's
get it to the lab.

That's her!
Nicole Flynn?

The one who I saw flirting with
Hudson at Catalyst last week.

You think
she killed him?

Any reason
she might have?

I just made her out
for awannabe.

Meaning?

Like a loser.

But I've seen this jealousy thing happen
with people who try to get in with us.

Get in with who?

The club kids.
And the wealthy.

It's, like,
"She's cute, but not hot,

"so a guy with a few drinks
in him will sleep with her."

What?

ED: Nina...

Nicole Flynn's prints match.
She was the girl on the bus.

Thank you.

What the hell
is this about?

Sir, please step back. Step back, please!
What'd she do?

She's a student,
works two jobs

to put herself through school,
what could she have done?

CASSADY: Nicole Flynn,

you're under arrest for the
murder of Hudson Moore.

You have the right
to remain silent.

(SOBBING) I'm sorry, Mom.

Listen, Nicole, don't say another word.
Anything you say

can and will be used against you.
And you can't talk to her

unless you have an attorney!
Please let us do ourjob.

I know that for a fact!
I said step back!

CASSADY: ...now or during
any future questioning.

If you cannot afford one, one
will be provided for you.

"Docket number 0241573.

�People v. Nicole Flynn,

"charge is Murder
in the Second Degree."

How does
the Defendant plead?

Not guilty.

Bail?

People request
one million dollars.

Your Honor, my client was
born and raised in New York,

is ajunior
at Queens College,

works part-time at New
York Savings and Loan,

lives with her parents...

I get it, Mr. Sugarman, she's not
a flight risk. Anything else?

Yes, she's innocent.

You don't say.

Bail is set at 500,000.

We need to talk
about this one, Connie.

We're always willing
to listen, you know that.

We were in Panama City
on spring break.

Partying, having fun.

Until Chris Drake showed up and
convinced me to take my clothes off.

And do some
very stupid things.

Like what?

She danced naked for the
camera, talked suggestively.

How does this relate
to Hudson Moore's death?

When I got back
to New York,

I tried to get
the tape back.

I didn't want
my parents to see it.

TheyWe�. They're real proud
Irish Catholic, you know.

Nicole called Chris Drake
about a hundred times,

but no one from
B.B.B responded,

so she started looking for him
herself at bars, parties.

After two weeks she tracked
him down at Catalyst.

Asked him for the tape
back in person.

What did he say?

Sure. For 10 grand.

But I could only come
up with, like, 900.

Tell us about
the night of the murder.

I crashed his party.

And I gave him the $900.

But he said, "No way,
the price is 10 grand."

Unless I had sex with him.

And you agreed.

Yeah.

So we left the bar and went
back to his stupid party bus.

What happened
on the bus?

I started undressing.

He started kissing me.

And I couldn't stand it.

He's just so disgusting.

So I told him to stop.

But he kept going.

And I tried to push him away,
but he pinned me down.

Did you have
intercourse?

Yeah.

And then what happened?

He told me that
he wasn't finished.

That for 10 grand, I had to
stay put for another hour.

And then he left.

And a few minutes later,
Hudson walked in.

He started touching me,

(SIGHING)
and I told him to stop.

But he wouldn't.

He said that
Chris said it was okay.

And he undid his pants, and I
grabbed the champagne bottle,

and I hit him in the head.

Nicole Flynn claims
you raped her.

Minutes before
she killed Hudson Moore.

You've gotta be
kidding me. Rape?

CONNIE:
You seem surprised.

Yeah, I'm shocked!

Were you shocked when
Marilyn Farr accused you?

How about Angie Gifford?
Or Sara Lord?

Or Maureen Kagan?

Rape allegations seem to
follow you around, Mr. Drake.

SWAIN: First off,
any and all charges

were dismissed
over three years ago.

Second, what
Nicole Flynn says

means absolutely nothing!
She's a murderer!

Did you have sex with Nicole
Flynn the night of the murder?

Yes.

Why'd you lie
to the police?

I...
Don't answer that.

We're done cooperating.

Just trying to prep my
key witness, Mr. Swain,

make sure
he stands up under cross.

Witness?

(SCOFFS) No,
you must be mistaken.

Mr. Drake's invoking his Fifth Amendment
right to keep his mouth shut.

(DOOR CLOSING)

You ask me, Nicole's starting
to look better and better.

Talk to her friends, see if
you can validate her story.

Nicole felt horrible about that tape.
She couldn't sleep.

Did she
tell her parents?

(LAUGHS) Her parents? God, no!
They're, like, super-strict.

That's why she was
so freaked out.

Does Nicole
date a lot?

Are you trying to figure out
if she's a slut?

No, we're trying to figure
out if she's honest.

Just because she got drunk in Florida
one night and took her clothes off,

doesn't mean she's a liar.

Or that she deserved
to get raped.

We know that.

Doesn't sound that way.

Look, sweetie, yourffiend
killed someone,

a guy is dead.

We have to ask questions about her
personal life, her family life.

Listen, the truth is, we're
trying to help her, not hurt her.

We just... We wanna understand
what kind of person she is.

What kind of person
she is?

Smart, hardworking, up to her
eyeballs in student loans,

looking to get
the hell out of Queens.

But most importantly, she's the
most honest person I ever met.

If she says Drake raped her,
he raped her.

I've talked to her family and
her friends and her professors.

Her story's pretty much the same.
She's a good kid.

A good kid who buried a bottle of
champagne in Hudson Moore's head.

That's after
Chris Drake raped her

and moments before she thought Hudson
Moore was gonna do the same thing.

According to her.

It's either her story or Chris Drake's.
Pick your horse.

We still need some actual proof
that she's tellin' the truth.

And not just a bunch of testimonials
from her friends and family.

Security video.

It shows Moore talking to Drake
minutes before he was killed.

I thought
there was no audio.

There isn't. But we had
the video blown up

and sent over to an FBI
speech expert for analysis.

"Chris Drake: I got an early
B-day present for you, bro.

"She's in the bedroom
right now. Good to go.

"Hudson Moore: She hot?

"Chris Drake:
Seven and three-eighths,

"but she has a great ass.
And likes it rough.

"Just make sure
she's gone in an hour."

(sum-nus)

So now what?

Plead out Nicole Flynn to Man Two
and go after Mr. Babes Being Bad.

Jack.

Someone has to pay
for Hudson Moore's death!

I appreciate your resolve,

but it sounds like we're
swinging for the fences here.

And with a mighty small bat.

Hudson Moore's death is the
proximate and foreseeable result

of Nicole Flynn's rape.

Jack, do you really think you
can prove felony-murder here

or are you just trying to make
an example out of this punk?

I've been doing
this too long

to get emotional
about the facts.

(LAUGHING) Yeah, right.

CHRIS: It's pretty good.
How much?

MAN: Six thousand a case.

I'll give you
10 grand for two,

but I need it
by next week.

I'm throwing
a dinner party for...

You can forget about
your little party, Chris.

Oh, what the hell are you
guys doing here? Get up.

Arresting
your punk ass.

What? For what?

The rape of Nicole Flynn and
the murder of Hudson Moore.

Murder? What the hell
are you guys talking about?

You have the right
to remain silent.

Anything you say can be used
against you in a court of law.

Your Honor, Hudson Moore's death was
a separate and distinct incident.

It had nothing to do
with Chris Drake,

he wasn't even on the bus
when he was killed!

It doesn't matter, because the
rape, the underlying felony,

was still ongoing,

since Drake told Miss Flynn to
stay on the bus for another hour.

So Mr. Drake was supposed to
anticipate that Nicole Flynn

would bash in Hudson Moore's
skull with a champagne bottle?

Foreseeabilty does not require that the
result be the most likely outcome,

only that it be reasonably foreseeable.
People v. Kibbe.

Even if Chris Drake did
rape Nicole Flynn, so what?

He didn't kill
Hudson Moore!

It doesn't matter
who kills the victim

as long as it's connected to the felony.
People v. Hernandez.

And you believe
it's connected?

Chris Drake raped
Nicole Flynn.

That incident triggered
a series of events

that ultimately resulted
in Hudson Moore's death.

That is the very point of
the felony-murder doctrine.

To punish those who commit egregious
felonies that result in death,

even when death
was not contemplated

at the inception
of the egregious felony.

SWAIN: Mr. McCoy is trying to
stretch the felony-murder rule

to an illogical and
unconstitutional conclusion.

Whether he is or he isn't,

it seems to me that this is a
matter for the jury, not for me.

Which means that your motion to
dismiss is denied, Mr. Swain.

JACK: How many times
did you say "stop"?

Five times.

And did he stop?

No.

Itried to
push him away,

but he pinned me down.
Grabbed my arms.

What happened
after the sex was over?

He told me not to move.

That he wasn't
finished with me yet.

Then what?

Uh...

A few minutes later
Hudson Moore walked in.

He started touching me, telling
me how pretty I looked.

Then he unbuttoned
his pants.

And I hit him
with the bottle.

Why did you strike him?

Because he was
going to rape me.

Nothing further.

Your Honor, I'd like to play
this video for the jury.

It's Defense Exhibit 24.
Babes Being Bad footage

of Nicole Flynn
shot in Panama City.

Objection,
she's protected

by the New York
rape shield law.

The video constitutes
prior sexual conduct

between Miss Flynn
and the defendant.

Your Honor,
may we approach?

The video has nothing to do with the
central issue of this trial, consent.

Whether Miss Flynn took her
clothes off in Panama City

has nothing to do with whether
she had consensual sex

with Mr. Drake three weeks
later in Manhattan!

In the video, Miss Flynn, while naked,
talks seductively to Chris Drake.

Talk does not constitute
sexual contact!

Miss Flynn was merely
playing for the camera,

giving Mr. Drake
what he wanted.

Meaningless
titillating banter.

Shouldn't we let the jury
decide that, Your Honor?

(NICOLE GIGGLING)

CHRIS: It's spring break,
what's the point of being shy?

(GIGGLING) Okay.
Okay, okay, okay.

That's it,
show us what you got!

(SCREAMS)

(LAUGHING)
That's all right!

That's what
I'm talkin' about!

NICOLE: Oh, my God! I
can't believe I did that!

All right, I wanna see it all, baby!
Come on!

Come on, come on, now the
rest, I wanna see it all.

Come on. Yeah.

Yeah, that's it, baby.

(NICOLE GIGGLING)
Oh, nasty.

That's it, You're nasty,
just a little bit.

(BOTH LAUGHING)

Yeah...

So, uh, tell me, what...
What would you do right now

if we were all alone
on my private jet?

If we were all alone,

I would be your naughty
little freak toy.

Is that right?
Mmm-hmm.

Your Honor, please instruct
Defense to turn off the TV.

Mr. Swain...

No one forced you into performing for Mr.
Drake that evening, correct?

No, but I was drunk.

So when you drink, you
become sexually adventurous,

is that your point?

No, I... For some
reason that night, I...

Yes, I felt adventurous.

The night Hudson Moore
was killed,

you agreed to leave
with Chris Drake?

Yes.

You agreed to
have sex with him?

Yes, at first,

but only in exchange
for not releasing that video.

So not only did you consent
to having sex with him,

but you were actually
compensated for it,

like... Like a prostitute.

Objection!

Sustained.

Nothing further.

SWAIN: Did you have sex
with Nicole Flynn

the night, your friend
Hudson Moore was killed?

Yes.

She agreed to this?

Yes.

You're positive?

Absolutely. She even
signed a sex consent form.

Your Honor, I would like to offer
into evidence Defense Exhibit 43,

a sexual consent form
signed Miss Nicole Flynn

the night Hudson Moore
was killed.

Your Honor, this should have been
turned over at reciprocal discovery.

Its introduction now is unethical
and an unfair surprise!

JUDGE WARING:
I don't disagree.

I'm not going to deny
Mr. Drake his defense.

I don't see any prejudice if
the Defense hands it over now.

Do you usually ask women
to sign a consent form?

Yes.

Why?

To protect myself from women
trying to invent stories

the morning after.

Did Nicole Flynn understand what
the agreement was all about?

Yes.

After she read it,
she smiled and said,

"I'm pretty sure I've never signed a
contract to screw somebody before."

Did she ever say no
or tell you to stop?

Of course not. If she did, I...
I would have stopped.

Nothing further.

Why did you lie
to the police

about having slept
with Nicole Flynn?

I didn't lie,
I just didn't remember.

I lead an unusual life.
I have an unusual job.

I travel from
city to city,

throwing parties
for young women,

and as a consequence, and given
my wealth and notoriety,

I meet lots of women.

And have sex
with lots of women?

Yes.

JACK: And they all
sign consent forms?

Yes.

Help me out here,
Mr. Drake.

Why would an honest man ask a
woman to sign a consent form

prior to
having sex with her?

(CLEARING THROAT)
Two words. Kobe Bryant.

That's why you started using consent forms?
Kobe Bryant?

I knew then and there
that I'd need protection

from women trying to shake
me down the morning after.

It also lets you get away with
rape if the woman changes her mind

after signing
the consent form.

Objection!
Sustained.

How could you forget signing
a sexual consent form?

Well, I... I thought it was for
the video stuff, I didn't...

Did you read it?

No, I just wanted to get in and
out of there as fast as possible,

I wasn't
thinking straight,

the whole thing
was so gross, I...

All right, Nicole, thank
you, that will be all.

I didn't mean to screw up your case!
I swear to God!

It's okay.

Go through Drake's
sexual consent forms.

See if any of them were
signed before July 4th, 2003.

The date Kobe Bryant
was arrested for rape.

The date Drake claims he had his
sexual consent form epiphany.

Did you have any luck?

There were 73
sexual consent forms

dated prior to
July 4th, 2003.

At least we can prove
he's a liar.

We might be able to
do more than that.

What do you mean?

Cheryl Perkins.
She's one of the girls.

She killed herself
two years ago.

How does that
help our case?

The day she died
she told her mother,

"Chris Drake
ruined my life."

Is this the document your
daughter, Cheryl, left you

on October 24th, 2004?

The day that
she killed herself?

Yes.

Let the record reflect

that Miss Perkins has
identified People's Exhibit 54,

a sexual consent form
entered into

by her daughter,
Cheryl Perkins

with the defendant,
dated May 12th, 2003.

How old was your daughter
when she signed this?

Sixteen.

Why did she leave you
the consent form?

That's the reason
she killed herself.

Objection!

I'll rephrase.

Where did she leave
the consent form?

On her desk,
next to the suicide note.

Was that the first
you'd heard of Chris Drake?

No, unfortunately.

Please elaborate.

Five months before,
she told me that

Chris Drake raped her
after a party.

Objection!
This is pure hearsay!

The prompt outcry of a
sexual assault victim

is presumptively reliable
and a well-founded exception

to the hearsay rule, YourHonoL People v.
McDaniel.

Please approach.

I'm going to allow
Miss Perkins to testify

about the conversation
with her daughter

pertaining to
the alleged rape.

She can't discuss the
content of the suicide note

or the fact that Chris
Drake's name appears in it.

Even so, Your Honor, the prejudicial
effect far outweighs the probative.

It's coming in.
Please, no more objections.

JACK: Mrs. Perkins?

Cheryl got drunk at one
of those B.B.B parties

and took her top off for
some guy with a camera.

Later on, she tried
to get the tape back,

but Drake said no.

Unless she had
sex with him.

So she agreed to have sex
in exchange for the tape?

Yeah.

But she changed
her mind.

Except Drake didn't
care, he said,

"A deal's a deal" pushed
her down on the bed and

had his way with her.

Did you tell her
to call the police?

Yes, of course.

But she said no one would
believe her because she

took money
from Drake's lawyer

and signed a contract saying it
was okay to have sex with him.

Did your daughter ever mention
the rape or Chris Drake again?

Yes, once.
She said that...

I didn't know what she
meant at the time.

But...she said, "it's
bad enough being raped,

"but when you let someone
buy his way out for $2,000

"you're more worthless
than he is."

When did Cheryl
tell you this?

(SOBBING) Twenty minutes
before she hanged herself.

SWAIN: Despite the grieving
mother's virtuoso performance,

the jury's not gonna believe aword
out of Nicole Flynn's mouth.

You know it
and I know it.

We're talking about a girl who
took her clothes off on camera

and talked about
being a naughty tramp.

Not to mention the fact that she
signed a sexual consent form.

And even if they do
believe her story,

they will never convict
on felony-murder,

despite all of the
compelling legal mumbo-jumbo

about causality
and foreseeability.

Bottom line is, Nicole
Flynn killed Hudson Moore,

not Chris Drake.

Rape, 5-to-15, I'll dismiss
the murder charge.

Five years?

(SCOFFS) Are you crazy?

I'm not a criminal, man!

I'm just a businessman,
an entrepreneur.

I was just in Forbes
Magazine last month,

22nd richest guy under 40,
10th richest under 30!

I've got two jets, three
houses, a 75-foot yacht...

I can't go to jail.

Not for screwing some
party girl from Queens

who decided to go ghetto
and kill my friend!

If we go to verdict
and get a conviction,

I plan to ask
for 25-to-life.

Why do you hate me?

Huh?

Is it 'cause I'm rich?

Is it 'cause
people love my videos?

Or is it 'cause I screw hundreds
and thousands of girls?

I couldn't care less
about any of that!

Then what is it?
Tell me!

You know, girls have
been getting drunk

and taking their clothes off
since forever.

I'm just the first guy
smart enough to film it.

That doesn't
make me a killer!

No, raping
Nicole Flynn does!

She signed a consent form!

Got naked
and jumped into bed with me!

How in God's name does
that make me a murderer?

You've had quite a run
for someone so young.

Exploiting unsuspecting
college kids.

Taking advantage
of their youth,

their innocence,
their vulnerability.

And if they change their
minds, to hell with them!

"A release is a release.

"Like it or not, the world
is going to see you naked.

"Unless you pay me
or screw me."

That's a lot
of heartache.

A lot of ruined lives.

And no one
could touch you.

But now, you are directly
responsible for a death!

And I intend to
make you pay for that!

Am I happy?

Yes!

But it's a side benefit.

Jury's back.

Five-to-15,
or roll the dice on 25.

It's your call.

Go to hell.

You know what?
I'm walking, McCoy.

You know why?

'Cause somebody on that jury watches
my videos and loves what I do.

Has the jury come
to averdict?

We have, Your Honor.

JUDGE WARING: On the charge
of rape, how do you find?

We find
the defendant guilty.

JUDGE WARING: On the charge of
felony-murder, how do you find?

Guilty.

Thank you.
Jury is dismissed.

You can't do this
to me, all right?

I'm not a murderer,
I didn't hurt anyone! Wait!

Please, I beg you, please
don't send me to jail!

(SOBBING) Please! Please, I beg you!
No! Please!

Do you think the jury convicted him
for what he did to Nicole Flynn

or the 16-year-old girl
who killed herself?

I don't know.

Do you care?
