Hi. My name is Jessica Lee,
and I am...
5
00:01:05,113 --> 00:01:07,115
wasan entertainer
at the Maverick Men's Club
6
00:01:07,159 --> 00:01:09,335
just off the West Side Highway.
7
00:01:09,378 --> 00:01:13,252
Three weeks ago,
at around 12:30,
8
00:01:13,295 --> 00:01:16,211
Nathan Alexander,
the big real estate guy,
9
00:01:16,255 --> 00:01:19,432
paid me $100 to go into
the Champagne Room with him.
10
00:01:19,475 --> 00:01:21,782
Now, when you go
into the Champagne Room
11
00:01:21,825 --> 00:01:23,218
at a place like the Maverick,
12
00:01:23,262 --> 00:01:25,220
you're guaranteeing
your customer
13
00:01:25,264 --> 00:01:27,309
three fully-nude lap dances.
14
00:01:27,353 --> 00:01:29,268
Three songs.
15
00:01:29,311 --> 00:01:31,444
There's not supposed
to be any touching,
16
00:01:31,487 --> 00:01:33,228
but there almost always is.
17
00:01:33,272 --> 00:01:36,927
And I have never
done it myself,
18
00:01:36,971 --> 00:01:39,408
but the other girls tell me
that you can negotiate
19
00:01:39,452 --> 00:01:41,149
to do other things in there.
20
00:01:41,193 --> 00:01:43,673
It's a private room.
There are no cameras.
21
00:01:43,717 --> 00:01:47,721
Anyway... [sighs heavily]
22
00:01:47,764 --> 00:01:51,681
We're in there,
and I'm completely naked.
23
00:01:51,725 --> 00:01:54,380
And he's got on a suit,
like you would expect.
24
00:01:54,423 --> 00:01:57,383
I'm into the second song,
25
00:01:57,426 --> 00:01:59,472
and I'm doing what I guess
26
00:01:59,515 --> 00:02:02,823
you would call the "lap" part
of the dance.
27
00:02:02,866 --> 00:02:06,348
And I look down,
and I notice that his fly...
28
00:02:06,392 --> 00:02:08,394
[gasps]
29
00:02:09,395 --> 00:02:10,787
Sorry. Didn't mean
to frighten you.
30
00:02:10,831 --> 00:02:13,050
So it looks like
Marissa's not coming in today.
31
00:02:13,094 --> 00:02:14,356
Something personal going on.
32
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:16,010
And I'm gonna be
out of the office
33
00:02:16,053 --> 00:02:18,055
running down some things
on an upcoming case, so,
34
00:02:18,099 --> 00:02:21,015
Marissa told me to tell you,
uh, that she's counting on you.
35
00:02:21,058 --> 00:02:22,799
Okay, so, what is it
she needs me to do?
36
00:02:22,843 --> 00:02:25,324
Well, uh,
nobody's in court today,
37
00:02:25,367 --> 00:02:27,500
so, it's really
just about Bull.
38
00:02:27,543 --> 00:02:29,719
If he needs something,
do your best to help him out.
39
00:02:29,763 --> 00:02:31,852
Now I just texted you
a temporary password
40
00:02:31,895 --> 00:02:33,419
that's gonna get you
into Marissa's files
41
00:02:33,462 --> 00:02:34,855
and Bull's schedule.
42
00:02:34,898 --> 00:02:37,771
Beyond that,
you're on your own.
43
00:02:41,557 --> 00:02:43,603
JESSICA:
Finally he gets off me.
44
00:02:43,646 --> 00:02:46,475
He just leaves the room.
45
00:02:46,519 --> 00:02:49,435
Anyway... [sighs]
46
00:02:49,478 --> 00:02:51,437
I told the manager
what happened,
47
00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:54,614
and he asked me
if I knew who that guy was.
48
00:02:54,657 --> 00:02:57,530
And, um, he told me
49
00:02:57,573 --> 00:02:59,445
that that guy is
50
00:02:59,488 --> 00:03:02,622
about a thousand times
more important than I am.
51
00:03:02,665 --> 00:03:04,450
Then he told me
52
00:03:04,493 --> 00:03:06,974
that they were overbooked
for the next couple of weeks,
53
00:03:07,017 --> 00:03:09,455
that I shouldn't even bother
coming in.
54
00:03:10,499 --> 00:03:12,066
BULL:
Marissa?!
55
00:03:14,416 --> 00:03:16,375
Oh.
56
00:03:16,418 --> 00:03:19,029
Well, the keeper
of the calendar is here.
57
00:03:19,073 --> 00:03:22,642
Uh, Thursday at 3:00 p.m.
I have an ultrasound?
58
00:03:24,339 --> 00:03:26,515
Bet you didn't even know
I was expecting.
59
00:03:26,559 --> 00:03:28,125
I'm shocked and amazed.
60
00:03:28,169 --> 00:03:30,563
I'll go find my little pass code
and get back to you shortly.
61
00:03:30,606 --> 00:03:33,087
Thank you.
62
00:03:33,130 --> 00:03:34,262
Three days later, she realizes
63
00:03:34,306 --> 00:03:35,611
she really needs
to go to the police.
64
00:03:35,655 --> 00:03:37,570
Taylor?But they tell her
there's no evidence,
65
00:03:37,613 --> 00:03:38,614
so there's no case.
66
00:03:38,658 --> 00:03:40,616
That the D.A. isn't going
to court
67
00:03:40,660 --> 00:03:42,966
unless he can win,
and without evidence...
68
00:03:43,010 --> 00:03:45,491
And he's definitely not going
to court to take on someone
69
00:03:45,534 --> 00:03:47,406
as well-connected
as Nathan Alexander
70
00:03:47,449 --> 00:03:49,538
unless the case is rock-solid.
71
00:03:49,582 --> 00:03:51,279
Yeah, he's right.
72
00:03:51,323 --> 00:03:52,628
I don't think so.
73
00:03:52,672 --> 00:03:54,456
I don't think there's anything
right about it.
74
00:03:54,500 --> 00:03:56,676
Look at it from the district
attorney's point of view.
75
00:03:56,719 --> 00:03:58,634
The woman is
a stripper.
76
00:03:58,678 --> 00:03:59,896
She takes her clothes off
for a living.
77
00:03:59,940 --> 00:04:01,376
She entices for a living.
78
00:04:01,420 --> 00:04:02,725
And what's the net-net?
79
00:04:02,769 --> 00:04:04,510
A man was enticed.
80
00:04:04,553 --> 00:04:06,207
Now, I'm not saying
I agree with it,
81
00:04:06,251 --> 00:04:09,079
but it's tough to make that case
in front of a jury.
82
00:04:09,123 --> 00:04:11,081
That stripper's a woman.
83
00:04:11,125 --> 00:04:12,518
A human being.
84
00:04:12,561 --> 00:04:14,259
Someone violated the law.
85
00:04:14,302 --> 00:04:15,608
Someone violated her.
86
00:04:15,651 --> 00:04:18,611
She says, but can't prove.
87
00:04:20,700 --> 00:04:22,658
Anyway...
88
00:04:22,702 --> 00:04:24,965
she posted this video
because she needs help.
89
00:04:25,008 --> 00:04:28,011
A lawyer and some publicity
to maybe force the D.A.'s hand.
90
00:04:28,055 --> 00:04:30,710
And it made me think about
your law clinic at school.
91
00:04:30,753 --> 00:04:32,189
[sighs]
92
00:04:32,233 --> 00:04:33,800
You've already got something.
You're busy, aren't you?
93
00:04:33,843 --> 00:04:35,323
Yeah.
94
00:04:35,367 --> 00:04:37,325
Oh, wow.
Like a right-to-life thing?
95
00:04:37,369 --> 00:04:38,631
Kind of.
96
00:04:38,674 --> 00:04:41,286
It's a lot of things.
97
00:04:41,329 --> 00:04:44,419
My point is,
my calendar's really full.
98
00:04:44,463 --> 00:04:46,334
Right. Calendar.
99
00:04:46,378 --> 00:04:47,509
[gasps]
100
00:04:47,553 --> 00:04:48,728
Calendar. Oh, no.
101
00:04:48,771 --> 00:04:50,425
Bull?
102
00:04:58,085 --> 00:05:00,217
Bull, sorry it took me so long.
103
00:05:00,261 --> 00:05:01,654
You are all clear for Thursday.
104
00:05:01,697 --> 00:05:03,699
I'll put it down for 3:00 p.m.
105
00:05:13,405 --> 00:05:14,841
Knock, knock, knock.
106
00:05:14,884 --> 00:05:16,190
[sniffles]
107
00:05:16,233 --> 00:05:18,758
Can I ask you a question
that would definitely fall
108
00:05:18,801 --> 00:05:20,977
into the category
of "none of my business"?
109
00:05:22,588 --> 00:05:24,546
Why do you guys
have a meeting
110
00:05:24,590 --> 00:05:26,635
with Nathan Alexander
on the books?
111
00:05:26,679 --> 00:05:28,681
I'm just curious.
112
00:05:28,724 --> 00:05:31,771
Read about him in the paper,
see his picture lots of places.
113
00:05:31,814 --> 00:05:33,990
Yeah, he does
take a good picture, doesn't he?
114
00:05:34,034 --> 00:05:35,949
Honestly, I have no idea.
115
00:05:35,992 --> 00:05:37,864
We don't do real estate law.
116
00:05:37,907 --> 00:05:40,606
He must have approached Bull
privately.
117
00:05:40,649 --> 00:05:44,392
Why? You want me to get you
invited to the meeting?
118
00:05:44,436 --> 00:05:46,263
Nope, not necessary.
119
00:05:46,307 --> 00:05:47,569
Thanks.
120
00:05:49,092 --> 00:05:52,008
Can I ask you another question?
A legal question?
121
00:05:52,052 --> 00:05:55,055
Hmm. I'm gonna have
to start billing you, Taylor.
122
00:05:55,098 --> 00:05:57,884
If you meet with a client,
a prospective client,
123
00:05:57,927 --> 00:06:00,974
and they have a case, do you
ever meet with the other side--
124
00:06:01,017 --> 00:06:02,410
the person they're suing,
125
00:06:02,454 --> 00:06:04,020
or the person
they're accusing of something--
126
00:06:04,064 --> 00:06:07,415
to see which side of the case
you want to represent?
127
00:06:07,459 --> 00:06:09,635
Nope. Doesn't work that way.
128
00:06:09,678 --> 00:06:12,507
Once you meet with one side
of the legal dispute,
129
00:06:12,551 --> 00:06:14,683
you're forbidden from meeting
with the other side.
130
00:06:14,727 --> 00:06:16,337
Part of the code of conduct.
131
00:06:16,381 --> 00:06:17,686
Always has been.
132
00:06:17,730 --> 00:06:19,427
Forbidden, huh?
133
00:06:19,471 --> 00:06:21,647
Long as I've
been doing it.
134
00:06:21,690 --> 00:06:24,824
So it's kind of...
whoever gets there first.
135
00:06:24,867 --> 00:06:28,175
Yeah, you could say that.
136
00:06:28,218 --> 00:06:30,220
Aha.
137
00:06:35,878 --> 00:06:37,402
Jessica?
138
00:06:37,445 --> 00:06:38,838
I'm Taylor.
139
00:06:38,881 --> 00:06:40,405
We spoke on
the phone?
140
00:06:40,448 --> 00:06:42,145
From Homeland Security?
141
00:06:42,189 --> 00:06:43,538
Well, not anymore.
142
00:06:43,582 --> 00:06:45,714
I, uh... sorry if I
wasn't clear on the phone.
143
00:06:45,758 --> 00:06:47,499
I-I work at a
legal firm now.
144
00:06:47,542 --> 00:06:48,804
Well, whatever.
145
00:06:48,848 --> 00:06:51,851
I'm just... blown away
that you want to help me.
146
00:06:51,894 --> 00:06:53,679
And I do. I want
to help you.
147
00:06:53,722 --> 00:06:55,507
The thing is, the
lawyer I arranged
148
00:06:55,550 --> 00:06:58,423
to meet us isn't here yet,
so I'm gonna bring you inside,
149
00:06:58,466 --> 00:06:59,946
get you seated,
and then, um,
150
00:06:59,989 --> 00:07:01,426
wait out here for him.
151
00:07:01,469 --> 00:07:02,688
Are you okay with that?
152
00:07:02,731 --> 00:07:04,733
Uh, sure.
153
00:07:09,346 --> 00:07:10,565
BENNY:
Taylor?
154
00:07:10,609 --> 00:07:12,175
Hey. Sorry.
155
00:07:12,219 --> 00:07:13,699
I didn't get a chance
to go home and change.
156
00:07:13,742 --> 00:07:15,178
Not to worry.
157
00:07:15,222 --> 00:07:17,398
She's a very,
very casual girl.
Ah.
158
00:07:17,442 --> 00:07:19,487
I just... I don't know.
159
00:07:19,531 --> 00:07:21,576
I thought you two
might hit it off.
160
00:07:21,620 --> 00:07:24,710
And like I told you, she's
having some legal problems.
161
00:07:24,753 --> 00:07:26,973
Probably gonna ask you
a ton of questions.
162
00:07:27,016 --> 00:07:28,670
Great icebreaker.
163
00:07:28,714 --> 00:07:30,542
[laughs]
164
00:07:31,543 --> 00:07:33,545
All right.
165
00:07:36,983 --> 00:07:38,724
BENNY:
Taylor, Taylor, Taylor.
166
00:07:38,767 --> 00:07:40,943
Is that her?
167
00:07:40,987 --> 00:07:42,510
That's her.
168
00:07:42,554 --> 00:07:44,947
BENNY: Boy.
She looks awfully young.
169
00:07:44,991 --> 00:07:46,514
So do you.[sucks in through teeth]
170
00:07:46,558 --> 00:07:48,516
Ah. [laughs]
171
00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:51,258
Taylor, I know you mean well,
but I'm thinking
172
00:07:51,301 --> 00:07:53,260
that maybe this isn't
such a good idea.
173
00:07:53,303 --> 00:07:56,306
Well, how will we
know if you don't try?
174
00:07:56,350 --> 00:07:58,526
Come on, Benny. Just sit down.
She's not gonna bite.
175
00:07:58,570 --> 00:08:00,659
She's gonna ask you
about the law and court
176
00:08:00,702 --> 00:08:02,530
and this situation
she got herself into.
177
00:08:02,574 --> 00:08:04,750

that you are having
some legal issues.

What's going on?

Are you staring
at a court date?

00:08:34,475 --> 00:08:36,129
No. I wish.
194
00:08:36,172 --> 00:08:37,870
But I'd like to be.

I'd like to get some justice.

Well, let's see
if we can't help you.

Let's start from the beginning.
Want to tell me what happened?

No. I mean, um....

no, it's not okay.

Uh... oh, my goodness.

I'm-I'm so sorry.

who did this to you?

Oh, yeah. I know exactly
who did this to me.
207
00:09:10,555 --> 00:09:12,252
He's kind of famous.

Maybe.
You know Nathan Alexander?

Yeah.

to you outside?

Alexander tomorrow.

how he's worried
he might be accused

of raping a dancer
he met at a gentlemen's club.

A dancer at a

gonna happen next, Taylor?

Bull's gonna say?

And lest you think
I'm overreacting,
257
00:11:28,257 --> 00:11:30,956
I called Mr. Alexander's
general counsel this morning,
258
00:11:30,999 --> 00:11:32,740

with a gentlemen's club?"

"Absolutely not."

someone from his office called
and canceled the meeting!

he hasn't done it before,

he won't do it again.

That has everything

Because he's rich,
if this ever does go to court,
288

00:15:00,687 --> 00:15:02,950
[chuckles]
My mistake.
356
00:15:02,994 --> 00:15:06,171
You'd be amazed at
the number of people
357
00:15:06,214 --> 00:15:08,477
who come in God's house looking
for a restroom.
358
00:15:08,521 --> 00:15:09,826
Huh.
Well,
359
00:15:09,870 --> 00:15:11,350
what can I point you towards?Oh,
360
00:15:11,393 --> 00:15:13,526
I was hoping I could...
361
00:15:13,569 --> 00:15:16,921
make an appointment
to speak to someone.
362
00:15:16,964 --> 00:15:18,400
Home stuff.
363
00:15:18,444 --> 00:15:19,619
Family stuff.
364
00:15:19,662 --> 00:15:21,490
You belong to the parish?
365
00:15:21,534 --> 00:15:23,449
No. I do not.
366
00:15:23,492 --> 00:15:26,713
I don't think
I've stepped inside a church
367
00:15:26,756 --> 00:15:29,020
for anything other than
a wedding or a baptism
368
00:15:29,063 --> 00:15:31,152
since the turn of the century.
369
00:15:31,196 --> 00:15:33,372
And what's going on at home?
370
00:15:33,415 --> 00:15:35,374
At least
371
00:15:35,417 --> 00:15:37,506
give me an idea
so I can figure out
372
00:15:37,550 --> 00:15:39,291
who you ought to talk to.
373
00:15:39,334 --> 00:15:41,336
It's kind of private.
374
00:15:47,081 --> 00:15:49,431
It's my daughter.
375
00:15:49,475 --> 00:15:52,565
She is bound and determined
to do something.
376
00:15:52,608 --> 00:15:55,611
Something that I know
to be wrong.
377
00:15:55,655 --> 00:15:58,484
It's just the wrongest thing
in the world.
378
00:15:59,746 --> 00:16:02,705
But she says
she wants me with her.
379
00:16:02,749 --> 00:16:05,578
Says she needs me with her.
380
00:16:05,621 --> 00:16:07,058
And I don't want her
381
00:16:07,101 --> 00:16:09,321
to do this thing
that she's going to do,
382
00:16:09,364 --> 00:16:11,105
but I also...
383
00:16:11,149 --> 00:16:13,151
I don't want to let her down.
384
00:16:14,500 --> 00:16:16,545
And the truth is
is that she's gonna do it
385
00:16:16,589 --> 00:16:19,809
with or without me.
She's an adult now.
386
00:16:19,853 --> 00:16:22,377
I just...
387
00:16:22,421 --> 00:16:25,728
I don't know
whether to be a good father
388
00:16:25,772 --> 00:16:28,557
or a good person.
389
00:16:28,601 --> 00:16:31,517
Very God-like problem.
390
00:16:31,560 --> 00:16:33,562
How do you mean?
391
00:16:35,564 --> 00:16:39,090
Relationship between
a parent and a child,
392
00:16:39,133 --> 00:16:42,223
the relationship between God
and every single human being
393
00:16:42,267 --> 00:16:43,442
is not that different.
394
00:16:43,485 --> 00:16:44,878
God stays with you
395
00:16:44,921 --> 00:16:47,054
whether you're doing
something good or bad.
396
00:16:47,098 --> 00:16:48,621
Tries to let you know
397
00:16:48,664 --> 00:16:51,624
in every way possible that...
398
00:16:51,667 --> 00:16:54,192
you're not doing
the right thing.
399
00:16:54,235 --> 00:16:56,542
But more important
than that,
400
00:16:56,585 --> 00:16:57,847
he wants you to know
401
00:16:57,891 --> 00:17:00,328
that no matter what,
402
00:17:00,372 --> 00:17:02,200
he's still with you.
403
00:17:02,243 --> 00:17:05,203
Same thing for a parent,
don't you think?
404
00:17:05,246 --> 00:17:07,248
Yeah.
405
00:17:08,771 --> 00:17:10,730
I hear you.
406
00:17:10,773 --> 00:17:13,037
So, let's, uh...
407
00:17:13,080 --> 00:17:15,474
see who we might
set you up with.
408
00:17:15,517 --> 00:17:19,521
Actually, I'm good.
409
00:17:20,522 --> 00:17:22,350
You sure?
410
00:17:24,961 --> 00:17:26,963
I'm very sure.
411
00:17:29,401 --> 00:17:31,359
Thank you, Pastor.
412
00:17:31,403 --> 00:17:33,405
Uh, son?
413
00:17:36,016 --> 00:17:37,583
Huh.
414
00:17:57,690 --> 00:18:00,084
So it's true.
415
00:18:00,127 --> 00:18:03,652
What Marissa texted me was true.
416
00:18:03,696 --> 00:18:05,480
We're going to court.
417
00:18:05,524 --> 00:18:09,528
There's no talking you
out of this.
418
00:18:09,571 --> 00:18:11,530
Huh.
419
00:18:11,573 --> 00:18:15,447
I-I leave the office
for five hours,
420
00:18:15,490 --> 00:18:18,580
and not only
do you not fire Taylor
421
00:18:18,624 --> 00:18:22,018
but you reward
her reckless behavior
422
00:18:22,062 --> 00:18:23,411
by taking this case.
423
00:18:23,455 --> 00:18:25,805
Okay, so you want me
to fire Taylor?
424
00:18:25,848 --> 00:18:27,633
Of course not.
425
00:18:27,676 --> 00:18:31,550
But I don't relish the idea
of devoting weeks
426
00:18:31,593 --> 00:18:33,726
to a "he said, she said" case
427
00:18:33,769 --> 00:18:35,858
where the "he"
is a very powerful
428
00:18:35,902 --> 00:18:37,860
and accomplished member
of our community
429
00:18:37,904 --> 00:18:39,123
and the "she" is...
430
00:18:39,166 --> 00:18:41,037
Not?
431
00:18:41,081 --> 00:18:43,214
I don't know what to tell you.
432
00:18:43,257 --> 00:18:45,651
I was sitting over there,
433
00:18:45,694 --> 00:18:48,219
and I was trying
to convince everybody
434
00:18:48,262 --> 00:18:49,524
how foolhardy this would all be,
435
00:18:49,568 --> 00:18:51,352
that we were
on the wrong side of it,
436
00:18:51,396 --> 00:18:53,659
that I had been doing this
long enough
437
00:18:53,702 --> 00:18:56,662
that I knew
how it was gonna go.
438
00:18:56,705 --> 00:18:58,403
You can't fight
the kind of entrenched power
439
00:18:58,446 --> 00:19:01,188
a guy like Nathan Alexander
represents.
440
00:19:01,232 --> 00:19:04,060
And I'm hearing
myself talk,
441
00:19:04,104 --> 00:19:06,324
and I'm thinking,
442
00:19:06,367 --> 00:19:09,631
"When did you become so old
443
00:19:09,675 --> 00:19:12,547
and cynical and afraid?"
444
00:19:12,591 --> 00:19:14,027
And I'm thinking
about my kid,
445
00:19:14,070 --> 00:19:16,595
about your niece or
nephew and if something
446
00:19:16,638 --> 00:19:17,944
horrible ever happened to them
447
00:19:17,987 --> 00:19:20,294
that they would come
to someone like me.
448
00:19:20,338 --> 00:19:21,948
[inhales]
449
00:19:21,991 --> 00:19:23,341
And somewhere in there,
450
00:19:23,384 --> 00:19:25,081
I had Marissa call over
to the courthouse,
451
00:19:25,125 --> 00:19:26,822
and you know the rest.
452
00:19:27,867 --> 00:19:29,825
All right.
453
00:19:29,869 --> 00:19:33,177
Well... see you in the morning.
454
00:19:33,220 --> 00:19:35,179
See you in the morning.
455
00:19:42,490 --> 00:19:43,883
JUDGE:
Have you or anyone you
know ever been the victim
456
00:19:43,926 --> 00:19:46,059
of sexual assault?
457
00:19:46,102 --> 00:19:49,802
If so, if that experience
will impact your ability
458
00:19:49,845 --> 00:19:52,848
to be impartial in this case,
please raise your hand.
459
00:19:56,896 --> 00:19:58,245
All right, then.
460
00:19:58,289 --> 00:20:00,073
I'll speak
to those jurors individually
461
00:20:00,116 --> 00:20:01,988
at sidebar regarding
their ability
462
00:20:02,031 --> 00:20:04,556
to serve on this jury.
463
00:20:10,736 --> 00:20:12,607
[exhales]
464
00:20:13,608 --> 00:20:15,958
We got our work
cut out for us.
465
00:20:16,002 --> 00:20:17,786
Where did all the girls go?
466
00:20:22,313 --> 00:20:24,271
DANNY:
Thanks for taking the time
467
00:20:24,315 --> 00:20:26,055
to speak with me,
Ms. Alexander.
468
00:20:26,099 --> 00:20:28,101
You can call me Beth.
469
00:20:29,102 --> 00:20:31,844
You're here about
Nathan, aren't you?
470
00:20:32,845 --> 00:20:35,195
I grew up riding.
Horses.
471
00:20:35,239 --> 00:20:37,589
And I always wanted
one of my own.
472
00:20:38,633 --> 00:20:40,026
And when Nathan and I
got married,
473
00:20:40,069 --> 00:20:43,116
he bought me the most beautiful
black quarter horse.
474
00:20:43,159 --> 00:20:44,422
[chuckles]
475
00:20:44,465 --> 00:20:46,989
She was everything to me.
476
00:20:47,033 --> 00:20:48,861
Then one day,
477
00:20:48,904 --> 00:20:50,732
barely four and
a half years later,
478
00:20:50,776 --> 00:20:52,821
he wanted a divorce.
479
00:20:52,865 --> 00:20:54,910
He offered me half his fortune,
480
00:20:54,954 --> 00:20:57,609
this apartment,
half the stock portfolio,
481
00:20:57,652 --> 00:20:59,088
no questions asked.
482
00:20:59,132 --> 00:21:02,527
[scoffs]
When it came to that horse...
483
00:21:05,269 --> 00:21:08,097
He fought me
with everything he had.
484
00:21:10,143 --> 00:21:12,624
'Cause he knew
that's what I really loved.
485
00:21:14,408 --> 00:21:17,803
So you can ask me anything.
486
00:21:17,846 --> 00:21:20,371
I'm bulletproof.
487
00:21:20,414 --> 00:21:22,895
He got my horse.
488
00:21:22,938 --> 00:21:25,767
Do you know what
your ex-husband is accused of?
489
00:21:27,203 --> 00:21:29,162
I read about it.
490
00:21:30,206 --> 00:21:32,774
Some men...
491
00:21:32,818 --> 00:21:35,908
You can't give them anything.
492
00:21:35,951 --> 00:21:39,128
It only feels good to them
if they take it.
493
00:21:39,172 --> 00:21:41,174
Are you aware
of him taking anything
494
00:21:41,217 --> 00:21:43,045
from any other woman?
495
00:21:45,047 --> 00:21:48,616
He hired this nice young woman
to walk our dog.
496
00:21:48,660 --> 00:21:51,271
This pretty college girl.
497
00:21:52,707 --> 00:21:55,144
The way she would look at Nathan
when she would come over,
498
00:21:55,188 --> 00:21:56,755
I just...
I knew something was going on
499
00:21:56,798 --> 00:22:00,106
or that she wanted
something to go on.
500
00:22:00,149 --> 00:22:03,675
Then one day, about six months
before we divorced,
501
00:22:03,718 --> 00:22:05,938
she just quit.
502
00:22:05,981 --> 00:22:08,506
Nathan said she was moving back
to wherever
503
00:22:08,549 --> 00:22:11,378
to look after
her sick mother, but...
504
00:22:11,422 --> 00:22:13,554
the look on her face
when she came by
505
00:22:13,598 --> 00:22:16,514
to pick up her last check was...
506
00:22:17,515 --> 00:22:19,038
Do you remember her name?
507
00:22:19,081 --> 00:22:20,344
BENNY:
And the night
508
00:22:20,387 --> 00:22:22,737
that Mr. Alexander
approached you--
509
00:22:22,781 --> 00:22:25,131
he gave you $25?
510
00:22:25,174 --> 00:22:28,700
He gave me $100
and told me to keep the change.
511
00:22:28,743 --> 00:22:30,397
BENNY:
So what did you do?
512
00:22:30,441 --> 00:22:32,921
JESSICA:
I smiled, and I said,
"For that much,
513
00:22:32,965 --> 00:22:35,271
you could have gone
into one of the VIP rooms."
514
00:22:35,315 --> 00:22:36,969
And how did he respond?
515
00:22:37,012 --> 00:22:39,319
He said, "That's a great idea."
516
00:22:39,363 --> 00:22:42,061
And he took my hand,
and he led me
517
00:22:42,104 --> 00:22:43,932
to the Champagne Room.
518
00:22:43,976 --> 00:22:45,978
BENNY:
And did you know who he was?
519
00:22:46,021 --> 00:22:48,023
I knew he was a big shot.
520
00:22:48,067 --> 00:22:50,852
The girls would get all giddy
every time he would come in.
521
00:22:50,896 --> 00:22:52,724
So I knew he was a big tipper,
522
00:22:52,767 --> 00:22:54,595
but it's not like
I knew his name.
523
00:22:54,639 --> 00:22:57,381
Mm-hmm. So he took you
to the Champagne Room.
524
00:22:57,424 --> 00:23:00,122
Can you tell us
exactly what happened?
525
00:23:00,166 --> 00:23:02,124
He raped me!
526
00:23:02,168 --> 00:23:04,126
[gallery murmuring]
527
00:23:04,170 --> 00:23:08,043
JESSICA:
I was in the middle
of the second song when
528
00:23:08,087 --> 00:23:10,045
I looked down, and I realized
529
00:23:10,089 --> 00:23:13,658
he'd unzipped his fly
and undid his belt.
530
00:23:13,701 --> 00:23:15,921
I kept dancing over him,
531
00:23:15,964 --> 00:23:18,663
pretending not to notice.
532
00:23:18,706 --> 00:23:22,144
Then he put his hands
around my waist
533
00:23:22,188 --> 00:23:24,059
and pulled me in towards him.
534
00:23:24,103 --> 00:23:26,105
Did you scream?
535
00:23:26,148 --> 00:23:28,107
Yeah.
536
00:23:28,150 --> 00:23:30,065
But the music was really loud.
537
00:23:30,109 --> 00:23:32,807
There's a panic button
on the wall,
538
00:23:32,851 --> 00:23:35,593
but he was holding me,
so I couldn't get to it.
539
00:23:35,636 --> 00:23:38,465
I kept hitting him,
hitting him,
540
00:23:38,509 --> 00:23:41,468
but he seemed to like that.
541
00:23:41,512 --> 00:23:43,644
Then he jumped up
out of his chair.
542
00:23:43,688 --> 00:23:45,690
He turned me over.
543
00:23:45,733 --> 00:23:48,040
And the next thing,
544
00:23:48,083 --> 00:23:51,565
we were on the floor, and...
545
00:23:51,609 --> 00:23:53,262
I couldn't see anything.
546
00:23:53,306 --> 00:23:55,439
I had my eyes closed anyway.
547
00:23:56,527 --> 00:23:59,094
Any idea how long it lasted?
548
00:23:59,138 --> 00:24:03,838
It seemed like
it lasted forever.
549
00:24:03,882 --> 00:24:05,187
JESSICA [crying]:
Yeah.
550
00:24:05,231 --> 00:24:06,537
[Jessica sighs]
551
00:24:07,668 --> 00:24:10,715
One last question.
552
00:24:10,758 --> 00:24:13,369
You didn't call the police
immediately after.
553
00:24:13,413 --> 00:24:15,415
Can I ask why?
554
00:24:17,286 --> 00:24:21,465
I don't know.
I guess that because...
555
00:24:21,508 --> 00:24:23,423
he's a somebody,
556
00:24:23,467 --> 00:24:25,817
and I'm...
557
00:24:25,860 --> 00:24:27,949
a... a nobody.
558
00:24:29,560 --> 00:24:32,040
I didn't think
anybody would believe me.
559
00:24:32,084 --> 00:24:34,042
BENNY:
Thank you, Ms. Lee.
560
00:24:34,086 --> 00:24:35,827
No further questions,
Your Honor.
561
00:24:35,870 --> 00:24:37,655
Any movement on our end?
562
00:24:37,698 --> 00:24:41,006
It's still a sea
of red over here.
563
00:24:41,049 --> 00:24:43,095
[sighs]
564
00:24:44,139 --> 00:24:45,619
You all right?
565
00:24:45,663 --> 00:24:47,012
Need a minute?
566
00:24:47,055 --> 00:24:48,883
I'm all right.
567
00:24:50,581 --> 00:24:53,279
So... you mentioned
568
00:24:53,322 --> 00:24:55,368
that your erotic encounter
with my client
569
00:24:55,411 --> 00:24:56,978
seemed to go on...It wasn't an erotic encounter.
570
00:24:57,022 --> 00:24:58,240
Forgive me.
571
00:24:58,284 --> 00:25:00,199
Your encounter.The attack!
572
00:25:00,242 --> 00:25:02,331
Your Honor, may I finish
asking my question?
573
00:25:02,375 --> 00:25:04,072
JUDGE:
The witness
574
00:25:04,116 --> 00:25:05,421
will refrain from speaking
575
00:25:05,465 --> 00:25:07,946
until counsel has finished
asking the question.
576
00:25:07,989 --> 00:25:11,253
Again, you testified
577
00:25:11,297 --> 00:25:14,561
that this encounter seemed
to last forever.
578
00:25:14,605 --> 00:25:16,563
That notwithstanding,
579
00:25:16,607 --> 00:25:18,565
do you remember approximately
580
00:25:18,609 --> 00:25:22,177
what time my client left
the Champagne Room?
581
00:25:22,221 --> 00:25:24,179
[sniffles]
582
00:25:24,223 --> 00:25:26,312
Uh, around 12:30.
583
00:25:26,355 --> 00:25:27,574
You sure about that?
584
00:25:27,618 --> 00:25:30,882
We went into the
Champagne Room
585
00:25:30,925 --> 00:25:33,145
ten minutes after 12:00.
586
00:25:33,188 --> 00:25:35,582
It was three lap
dances, three songs.
587
00:25:35,626 --> 00:25:38,063
It's five or six
minutes a song.
588
00:25:38,106 --> 00:25:40,239
That's about 12:25 or so.
589
00:25:40,282 --> 00:25:43,372
Excellent. 12:25, 12:30.
590
00:25:43,416 --> 00:25:45,418
[quietly]:
All right.
591
00:25:46,419 --> 00:25:48,508
Here's where I get confused.
592
00:25:48,552 --> 00:25:52,251
If you were so upset
over this alleged assault,
593
00:25:52,294 --> 00:25:54,470
why does security camera footage
from the bar
594
00:25:54,514 --> 00:25:56,516
show you having a drink
595
00:25:56,560 --> 00:25:59,345
with my client at 1:55 a.m.?
596
00:25:59,388 --> 00:26:01,129
It's barely an hour and a half
597
00:26:01,173 --> 00:26:03,915
afteryou claim
he violently raped you.
598
00:26:03,958 --> 00:26:07,005
Really?
Do you have a photo of that?
599
00:26:07,048 --> 00:26:09,616
That's impossible.
I would never do that.
600
00:26:09,660 --> 00:26:11,705
Isn't this you?
601
00:26:12,706 --> 00:26:14,795
Isn't this Mr. Alexander?
602
00:26:14,839 --> 00:26:16,362
[gallery murmuring]
603
00:26:16,405 --> 00:26:19,191
Yes, but maybe that's
from another night.
604
00:26:19,234 --> 00:26:21,933
Isn't this date
the night in question?
605
00:26:21,976 --> 00:26:24,283
And can you see
that this is indicating
606
00:26:24,326 --> 00:26:26,328
that this frame
of video was captured
607
00:26:26,372 --> 00:26:28,330
at 1:55 in the morning?
608
00:26:28,374 --> 00:26:30,202
JESSICA:
Yes, I can see what's
609
00:26:30,245 --> 00:26:32,160
in the photo, but that doesn't
mean that that happened.
610
00:26:32,204 --> 00:26:33,553
I'd like to enter
611
00:26:33,597 --> 00:26:35,381
this still photograph
taken from security video
612
00:26:35,424 --> 00:26:37,818
recorded the night of the
incident as defense exhibit "A."
613
00:26:37,862 --> 00:26:39,298
So entered.That doesn't mean that
614
00:26:39,341 --> 00:26:40,647
that happened.
615
00:26:40,691 --> 00:26:42,518
That photo was
probably doctored.
616
00:26:42,562 --> 00:26:44,520
That... that doesn't mean
that that happened.[gallery murmuring]
617
00:26:44,564 --> 00:26:45,739
He probably paid somebody.
618
00:26:45,783 --> 00:26:46,914
[gavel bangs]Order! Order! Order!
619
00:26:46,958 --> 00:26:48,916
Just because
that there is a photo,
620
00:26:48,960 --> 00:26:50,831
it doesn't mean
that that happened.Order! Again, we need you
621
00:26:50,875 --> 00:26:54,313
to refrain from speaking
until asked a question.
622
00:26:54,356 --> 00:26:57,446
Your Honor, these photographs
are accurate and real,
623
00:26:57,490 --> 00:27:00,667
and the security company
which monitors the establishment
624
00:27:00,711 --> 00:27:02,800
where Ms. Lee claims
this incident took place
625
00:27:02,843 --> 00:27:04,845
will testify to their veracity.
626
00:27:07,500 --> 00:27:11,330
So my question
to you, Ms. Lee, is...
627
00:27:11,373 --> 00:27:14,289
is it your normal practice
to have drinks with the men
628
00:27:14,333 --> 00:27:17,466
you claimed to have attacked you
a mere 90 minutes later?
629
00:27:17,510 --> 00:27:19,077
Your Honor![gallery clamoring]
630
00:27:19,120 --> 00:27:20,252
Never mind.
631
00:27:20,295 --> 00:27:21,993
I withdraw the question.
632
00:27:22,036 --> 00:27:23,472
Nothing further
for this witness.
633
00:27:29,391 --> 00:27:30,741
Well, listen, I need
him to take the stand.
634
00:27:30,784 --> 00:27:33,918
We don't have time to prep
him. I'll prep Benny.
635
00:27:33,961 --> 00:27:36,834
If we ask the right questions,
we should get the right answers.
636
00:27:36,877 --> 00:27:39,358
Thank you.
637
00:27:39,401 --> 00:27:41,099
I think we're
gonna be okay.
638
00:27:45,799 --> 00:27:47,801
[clears throat]
639
00:27:51,544 --> 00:27:52,980
COURT OFFICER:
All rise!
640
00:27:53,024 --> 00:27:55,504
The Honorable
Judge McPherson presiding.
641
00:27:57,637 --> 00:28:00,945
BENNY:
Thank you for joining us
last minute, Dr. Benson.
642
00:28:00,988 --> 00:28:05,471
Now you just shared with
the jury your many degrees
643
00:28:05,514 --> 00:28:07,516
and your academic
accomplishments.
644
00:28:07,560 --> 00:28:11,956
But as someone who specializes
in psychological trauma,
645
00:28:11,999 --> 00:28:14,872
if I tell you that
a woman is raped,
646
00:28:14,915 --> 00:28:18,658
but 90 minutes later
she is seen having a drink
647
00:28:18,702 --> 00:28:21,008
with the very man
who attacked her,
648
00:28:21,052 --> 00:28:23,097
what would your reaction be?
649
00:28:23,141 --> 00:28:25,099
Well, without knowing anything,
650
00:28:25,143 --> 00:28:27,580
without having met
the principals
651
00:28:27,623 --> 00:28:31,584
or read the histories
or looked at the forensics, uh,
652
00:28:31,627 --> 00:28:33,499
I would venture a guess and say
653
00:28:33,542 --> 00:28:36,502
it must have been
a particularly brutal violation.
654
00:28:36,545 --> 00:28:38,460
[gallery murmuring]
655
00:28:38,504 --> 00:28:40,854
YARROW:
Objection.
656
00:28:40,898 --> 00:28:43,422
This last-minute,
supposed expert witness
657
00:28:43,465 --> 00:28:44,815
is offering up conjecture
658
00:28:44,858 --> 00:28:46,425
and speculation
as testimony.
659
00:28:46,468 --> 00:28:48,470
JUDGE:
Objection sustained.
660
00:28:48,514 --> 00:28:50,298
The jury will disregard
that answer.
661
00:28:50,342 --> 00:28:51,778
Ask another question, Counselor.
662
00:28:51,822 --> 00:28:53,780
Yes, Your Honor.
663
00:28:53,824 --> 00:28:55,782
Dr. Benson,
664
00:28:55,826 --> 00:28:58,654
putting aside what you
think might have happened,
665
00:28:58,698 --> 00:29:01,527
is it unusual for victims
666
00:29:01,570 --> 00:29:05,400
of rape to continue to
associate with their attacker
667
00:29:05,444 --> 00:29:07,968
in the hours
following the attack?
668
00:29:08,012 --> 00:29:10,449
Well, let me put it this way.
669
00:29:10,492 --> 00:29:12,668
While you wouldn't
call it common,
670
00:29:12,712 --> 00:29:15,193
it happens more often
than you'd suspect.
671
00:29:15,236 --> 00:29:17,935
And there's a scientific
explanation for it.
672
00:29:17,978 --> 00:29:20,067
After brutal trauma,
673
00:29:20,111 --> 00:29:22,635
the victim's brain
often defaults
674
00:29:22,678 --> 00:29:24,376
into a kind of survival mode.
675
00:29:24,419 --> 00:29:28,641
The mind focuses on one thing
and one thing only--
676
00:29:28,684 --> 00:29:30,251
getting through the night
677
00:29:30,295 --> 00:29:32,645
without further incident
or harm.
678
00:29:32,688 --> 00:29:35,256
So you make friends
with your enemy.
679
00:29:35,300 --> 00:29:37,476
Now, what if I told you
680
00:29:37,519 --> 00:29:39,695
that the victim has
no recollection
681
00:29:39,739 --> 00:29:42,742
of continuing to associate
with her attacker
682
00:29:42,786 --> 00:29:44,483
in the hours
following the rape?
683
00:29:44,526 --> 00:29:46,702
Would, would that shock you?
684
00:29:46,746 --> 00:29:48,966
Not really. I mean,
the combination
685
00:29:49,009 --> 00:29:52,708
of trauma and adrenaline
creates a condition
686
00:29:52,752 --> 00:29:54,885
where the victim
becomes hyper-focused.
687
00:29:54,928 --> 00:29:58,889
Uh, they retain details
of the trauma itself
688
00:29:58,932 --> 00:30:01,021
in an especially vivid way,
689
00:30:01,065 --> 00:30:05,678
but the events surrounding it
don't get coded into the memory,
690
00:30:05,721 --> 00:30:09,464
because the victim is being
controlled by the amygdala,
691
00:30:09,508 --> 00:30:12,598
the survival center of the mind.
692
00:30:12,641 --> 00:30:14,687
It's working like hell
693
00:30:14,730 --> 00:30:17,298
to normalize something
that's not normal.
694
00:30:17,342 --> 00:30:20,258
So the memory,
for all intents and purposes,
695
00:30:20,301 --> 00:30:22,390
gets turned off.
696
00:30:22,434 --> 00:30:25,611
And if I were to tell you
697
00:30:25,654 --> 00:30:27,613
that the victim
took three days
698
00:30:27,656 --> 00:30:30,746
to report what happened
to her to the police?
699
00:30:30,790 --> 00:30:32,836
Yeah, again,
pretty standard stuff.
700
00:30:32,879 --> 00:30:35,360
I mean... but trust me.
701
00:30:35,403 --> 00:30:37,362
For those 72 hours,
702
00:30:37,405 --> 00:30:39,668
the victim is fighting
with him or herself
703
00:30:39,712 --> 00:30:43,237
over whether what they think
happened really happened.
704
00:30:43,281 --> 00:30:46,632
And to be clear,
if it hadn't really happened,
705
00:30:46,675 --> 00:30:48,852
they wouldn't have been fighting
with themselves.
706
00:30:48,895 --> 00:30:51,028
Thank you.
No further questions.
707
00:30:51,071 --> 00:30:52,464
[beep]Oh, my God, Marissa!
708
00:30:52,507 --> 00:30:53,726
[gasps]
We got a green one!
709
00:30:53,769 --> 00:30:55,684
MARISSA AND TAYLOR:
We got a green one!
710
00:30:55,728 --> 00:30:57,773

Will you two
keep it down, please?

00:30:57,817 --> 00:30:59,906
YARROW:
Dr. Benson,
712
00:30:59,950 --> 00:31:01,777
do you know Jessica Lee?
713
00:31:01,821 --> 00:31:04,084
Not really.
I think that's her there.
714
00:31:04,128 --> 00:31:05,825
Have you ever met
Jessica Lee?
715
00:31:05,869 --> 00:31:07,305
No.
716
00:31:07,348 --> 00:31:08,697
Do you know my client?
717
00:31:08,741 --> 00:31:11,570
I know ofhim.
We've never met.
718
00:31:11,613 --> 00:31:13,572
So, then, do you have any proof
719
00:31:13,615 --> 00:31:16,314
that this so-called trauma
actually even occurred?
720
00:31:16,357 --> 00:31:18,707
It seems to me that,
721
00:31:18,751 --> 00:31:21,623
in this case,
the only window we have
722
00:31:21,667 --> 00:31:23,669
into what mighthave happened
that night
723
00:31:23,712 --> 00:31:25,366
is a security photo
724
00:31:25,410 --> 00:31:27,020
of the principals
725
00:31:27,064 --> 00:31:28,587
sharing a drink
726
00:31:28,630 --> 00:31:32,025
shortly after this trauma
supposedly occurred.
727
00:31:32,069 --> 00:31:34,158
Well, as I explained...Oh, I'm sorry.
728
00:31:34,201 --> 00:31:37,204
I must have missed it.
Did your explanation suggest
729
00:31:37,248 --> 00:31:41,339
that, because they were having a
drink, she must have been raped?
730
00:31:42,383 --> 00:31:43,950
Of course not.
731
00:31:43,994 --> 00:31:47,693
So, then,
what does your testimony prove?
732
00:31:47,736 --> 00:31:49,608
[gallery murmuring]
733
00:31:51,871 --> 00:31:53,655
We lost our green.
734
00:31:53,699 --> 00:31:54,787
[sighs]
735
00:31:57,485 --> 00:31:58,660
[door opens]
736
00:31:58,704 --> 00:32:00,401
Hi. Can I help you?
737
00:32:00,445 --> 00:32:02,838
DANNY:
Yeah, I'm actually looking
for the owner. Tara Atkins?
738
00:32:02,882 --> 00:32:04,579
Tara?
739
00:32:04,623 --> 00:32:06,712
Hi. I'm Danny James.
740
00:32:06,755 --> 00:32:09,062
I'm an investigator
working for Jessica Lee?
741
00:32:09,106 --> 00:32:11,195
Perhaps you've
read about her?
742
00:32:11,238 --> 00:32:13,675
She's suing
Nathan Alexander.
743
00:32:15,503 --> 00:32:17,505
What does that have
to do with me?
744
00:32:17,549 --> 00:32:19,377
Well, I know that you
worked for Nathan
745
00:32:19,420 --> 00:32:22,771
and his then-wife briefly,
and that it ended abruptly.
746
00:32:22,815 --> 00:32:25,687
I just wanted to
ask you about that.
747
00:32:25,731 --> 00:32:27,559
I honestly don't have
anything to say.
748
00:32:27,602 --> 00:32:29,778
This is my place of business.
749
00:32:29,822 --> 00:32:31,389
I'd appreciate it
if you'd go now.
750
00:32:31,432 --> 00:32:32,912
Was it him?
751
00:32:32,956 --> 00:32:34,783
Did Nathan attack you?
752
00:32:34,827 --> 00:32:36,220
Don't make me call the police.
753
00:32:36,263 --> 00:32:39,266
Did he pay you
to keep quiet?
754
00:32:39,310 --> 00:32:41,094
Is that where
you got the start-up money
755
00:32:41,138 --> 00:32:42,835
to open this store?
756
00:32:42,878 --> 00:32:45,620
I wish I could help you,
but there's nothing I can do.
757
00:32:45,664 --> 00:32:47,883
I really need you to leave.
758
00:32:47,927 --> 00:32:50,886
If it's the NDA
that's inhibiting you,
759
00:32:50,930 --> 00:32:53,063
I work with a team of
really great lawyers,
760
00:32:53,106 --> 00:32:55,979
and I'm sure they can
figure out a way around it.
761
00:32:57,241 --> 00:32:59,243
If you change your mind.
762
00:33:07,294 --> 00:33:09,035
YARROW:
Mr. Alexander, do you deny
763
00:33:09,079 --> 00:33:10,906
being at the Maverick Club
on the night in question?
764
00:33:10,950 --> 00:33:12,169
I do not.
765
00:33:12,212 --> 00:33:14,345
Do you deny that you and Ms. Lee
766
00:33:14,388 --> 00:33:16,390
engaged in
intimate behavior
767
00:33:16,434 --> 00:33:17,696
at some point past midnight
768
00:33:17,739 --> 00:33:20,220
in what's referred to
as the Champagne Room?
769
00:33:20,264 --> 00:33:21,613
I do not.
770
00:33:21,656 --> 00:33:23,832
Did you rape Ms. Lee?
771
00:33:25,443 --> 00:33:28,054
No.
772
00:33:28,098 --> 00:33:31,057
Not that I'm aware of.
773
00:33:31,101 --> 00:33:33,581
My sense was that
everyone involved
774
00:33:33,625 --> 00:33:35,583
was having a very nice time.
775
00:33:35,627 --> 00:33:37,977
YARROW:
Mr. Alexander,
776
00:33:38,021 --> 00:33:40,545
what's a guy like you
doing in a strip club?
777
00:33:40,588 --> 00:33:43,896
Looking at naked women mostly.
778
00:33:43,939 --> 00:33:46,681
Look,
779
00:33:46,725 --> 00:33:48,466
you probably won't like
this answer,
780
00:33:48,509 --> 00:33:51,599
but I'm very fond of women.
781
00:33:51,643 --> 00:33:54,602
And at the risk of sounding
like some kind of Neanderthal,
782
00:33:54,646 --> 00:33:59,085
being able to spend time
around a woman who is undressed,
783
00:33:59,129 --> 00:34:01,348
that's a pretty terrific way
to end one's day.
784
00:34:01,392 --> 00:34:04,090
Now, I know that,
for a lot of men,
785
00:34:04,134 --> 00:34:06,701
that happens within the context
of a relationship--
786
00:34:06,745 --> 00:34:09,226
marriage,
boyfriend, girlfriend--
787
00:34:09,269 --> 00:34:12,272
and I've tried that,
but it takes time
788
00:34:12,316 --> 00:34:14,100
and it takes energy.
789
00:34:14,144 --> 00:34:16,624
And I'm sort of a well-known
figure in this city,
790
00:34:16,668 --> 00:34:19,584
so it also means
I need to have my guard up
791
00:34:19,627 --> 00:34:22,587
because not every woman I meet
is solely interested
792
00:34:22,630 --> 00:34:24,676
in getting to know me better.
793
00:34:24,719 --> 00:34:28,375
So, for me,
a gentlemen's club,
794
00:34:28,419 --> 00:34:30,725
on a transactional level,
they make great sense.
795
00:34:30,769 --> 00:34:33,467
I pay my money.
I meet some nice women,
796
00:34:33,511 --> 00:34:35,208
and if I never see them again
797
00:34:35,252 --> 00:34:36,601
or they never see me again,
798
00:34:36,644 --> 00:34:38,690
neither one of us
is surprised or disappointed.
799
00:34:38,733 --> 00:34:40,518
He has them in the
palm of his hand.
800
00:34:40,561 --> 00:34:43,956
No one is shocked.
No one's surprised.
801
00:34:43,999 --> 00:34:47,220
They're too busy admiring
his imitation of honesty.
802
00:34:47,264 --> 00:34:51,137
Why did you ask Ms. Lee
to go to the Champagne Room?
803
00:34:51,181 --> 00:34:53,792
I didn't. She suggested it.
804
00:34:53,835 --> 00:34:55,968
And it's your testimony
that everything that happened
805
00:34:56,011 --> 00:34:57,535
in that room was consensual?
806
00:34:57,578 --> 00:34:59,580
That was certainly
my impression.
807
00:34:59,624 --> 00:35:02,017
I think she knew
who I was.
808
00:35:02,061 --> 00:35:03,584
[scoffs]
809
00:35:03,628 --> 00:35:06,674
How horrible could it have been?
810
00:35:06,718 --> 00:35:11,114
I mean, I didn't run away
and neither did she.
811
00:35:11,157 --> 00:35:14,204
We had drinks together
later that night.
812
00:35:17,076 --> 00:35:19,252
Is there anything
you want to say?
813
00:35:19,296 --> 00:35:23,256
Anything you want
to apologize for?
814
00:35:26,259 --> 00:35:29,523
No.
815
00:35:29,567 --> 00:35:34,180
This has been
enormously embarrassing
816
00:35:34,224 --> 00:35:36,095
and painful for me.
817
00:35:38,315 --> 00:35:42,232
In my work,
I ask people to trust me.
818
00:35:42,275 --> 00:35:45,148
Ever since Ms. Lee's assertions
819
00:35:45,191 --> 00:35:47,672
were made public,
820
00:35:47,715 --> 00:35:51,328
it's become much harder to do.
821
00:35:51,371 --> 00:35:53,286
No.
822
00:35:53,330 --> 00:35:55,506
I have nothing to apologize for.
823
00:35:55,549 --> 00:35:57,725
YARROW:
No further questions.
824
00:35:57,769 --> 00:35:59,727
JUDGE:
All right, let's
break here for today.
825
00:35:59,771 --> 00:36:01,990
We'll pick this up tomorrow
with the plaintiff's cross.
826
00:36:02,034 --> 00:36:03,818
This court
is adjourned.
827
00:36:03,862 --> 00:36:05,646
BULL:
It is the
"he said, she said" case
828
00:36:05,690 --> 00:36:07,866
I always feared it would be.
829
00:36:07,909 --> 00:36:10,738
Unfortunately, the "he"
is a very convincing fellow,
830
00:36:10,782 --> 00:36:13,306
even though
I'm certain
831
00:36:13,350 --> 00:36:15,134
he's lying through his teeth.
832
00:36:15,178 --> 00:36:17,223
DANNY:
Funny. Based on the women
I've been talking to,
833
00:36:17,267 --> 00:36:19,312
it should be a "he said,
they said" case.
834
00:36:19,356 --> 00:36:21,053
What do you mean?
835
00:36:21,096 --> 00:36:22,576
Are you suggesting
there are others?
836
00:36:22,620 --> 00:36:25,013
'Cause that would
change everything.
837
00:36:25,057 --> 00:36:26,624
DANNY:
Tara Atkins,
Janell Thompson,
838
00:36:26,667 --> 00:36:28,452
Emily Webber, Amelia Lopez,
Tracy Walker.
839
00:36:28,495 --> 00:36:32,064
The list goes on.
All women I strongly suspect
840
00:36:32,107 --> 00:36:34,327
were raped by
Nathan Alexander.
841
00:36:34,371 --> 00:36:36,024
Well, let's get 'em in here,
842
00:36:36,068 --> 00:36:37,548
and-and Benny can put 'em
on the stand.
843
00:36:37,591 --> 00:36:40,594
They won't testify.
They've all been paid off
844
00:36:40,638 --> 00:36:42,030
and signed nondisclosure
agreements.
845
00:36:42,074 --> 00:36:44,381
He gives them $2 million
and threatens
846
00:36:44,424 --> 00:36:47,253
to sue them for twice that
if they ever breathe a word.
847
00:36:47,297 --> 00:36:50,125
It's so unfair.
How do you fight against someone
848
00:36:50,169 --> 00:36:51,736
who has all the money
in the world?
849
00:36:51,779 --> 00:36:53,564
DANNY:
Well if it makes you feel
any better, he doesn't have
850
00:36:53,607 --> 00:36:54,869
all the money
in the world
851
00:36:54,913 --> 00:36:56,219
'cause he gave half
to his ex-wife.
852
00:36:58,308 --> 00:37:00,266
And did he make her sign an NDA?
853
00:37:00,310 --> 00:37:03,313
It was a divorce.
A divorce he wanted.
854
00:37:03,356 --> 00:37:05,880
And how does she feel
about her ex?
855
00:37:05,924 --> 00:37:07,273
Why do you ask?
856
00:37:07,317 --> 00:37:10,450
JUDGE:
Mr. Colón,
are you ready to commence
857
00:37:10,494 --> 00:37:12,931
cross-examination
of Mr. Alexander?
858
00:37:12,974 --> 00:37:14,802
BENNY:
Yes, I am, Your Honor.
859
00:37:14,846 --> 00:37:19,503
Mr. Alexander, I really just
have one question for you.
860
00:37:19,546 --> 00:37:23,289
Now, you testified
under oath yesterday
861
00:37:23,333 --> 00:37:26,205
that you did not rape my client.
862
00:37:26,249 --> 00:37:27,685
That's correct.
Okay.
863
00:37:27,728 --> 00:37:31,297
So here's my question:
864
00:37:31,341 --> 00:37:33,560
have you ever raped anyone?
865
00:37:33,604 --> 00:37:37,390
[gallery murmuring]
866
00:37:40,393 --> 00:37:43,744
I'm sorry,
I didn't hear your answer.
867
00:37:43,788 --> 00:37:47,618
No. Of course not.
I've never raped anyone.
868
00:37:47,661 --> 00:37:51,317
Ah. Well, then I have
no more questions
869
00:37:51,361 --> 00:37:52,492
for this witness.
870
00:37:52,536 --> 00:37:54,407
I would, however,
871
00:37:54,451 --> 00:37:57,149
like to call a rebuttal witness
at this time.
872
00:37:57,192 --> 00:37:59,717
With your court's
permission,
873
00:37:59,760 --> 00:38:03,416
the plaintiff would like to call
Ms. Tara Atkins to the stand.
874
00:38:03,460 --> 00:38:05,549
YARROW: Objection, Your Honor.
The defense was not made aware
875
00:38:05,592 --> 00:38:07,899
of this witness. This is the
first we're hearing about it.
876
00:38:07,942 --> 00:38:09,814
BENNY:
My apologies,
Your Honor.
877
00:38:09,857 --> 00:38:13,034
We're calling this witness
to refute Mr. Alexander's claim
878
00:38:13,078 --> 00:38:16,864
just now that, and I quote,
"I have never raped anyone."
879
00:38:16,908 --> 00:38:18,475
Ms. Atkins
is prepared
880
00:38:18,518 --> 00:38:20,912
to speak on that claim.
881
00:38:20,955 --> 00:38:23,175
That seems reasonable
and relevant to me.
882
00:38:23,218 --> 00:38:24,959
The witness
may testify.
883
00:38:25,003 --> 00:38:27,919
Your Honor, the defense would
like to request a short recess,
884
00:38:27,962 --> 00:38:29,355
so we may prepare
for this witness.
885
00:38:29,399 --> 00:38:30,878
JUDGE:
That seems reasonable as well.
886
00:38:30,922 --> 00:38:33,359
Let's take a half hour break
and resume trial at that time.
887
00:38:33,403 --> 00:38:34,665
[knocking on door]
888
00:38:34,708 --> 00:38:37,972
YARROW:
Ms. Atkins? Tara Atkins?
889
00:38:38,016 --> 00:38:39,409
Come in.
890
00:38:42,542 --> 00:38:44,762
I've asked my legal team
to sit in.
891
00:38:44,805 --> 00:38:46,633
You don't have a problem
with that, do you?
892
00:38:49,244 --> 00:38:51,551
Of course not.
893
00:38:51,595 --> 00:38:53,901
[sighs]
894
00:38:56,295 --> 00:39:00,386
Just to be clear, in exchange
for the $2 million
895
00:39:00,430 --> 00:39:01,605
my client provided you,
896
00:39:01,648 --> 00:39:04,434
you signed
a nondisclosure agreement.
897
00:39:04,477 --> 00:39:07,654
If you testify to the events
which I suspect
898
00:39:07,698 --> 00:39:09,961
you'll be asked about
on the stand,
899
00:39:10,004 --> 00:39:11,179
you'll be violating
that agreement
900
00:39:11,223 --> 00:39:13,573
and it will cost you $4 million.
901
00:39:13,617 --> 00:39:16,968
$4 million I'm reasonably sure
you don't have.
902
00:39:17,011 --> 00:39:19,013
Yes, I'm well aware of that.
903
00:39:19,057 --> 00:39:21,799
I want to be certain
904
00:39:21,842 --> 00:39:25,150
that you understand
how serious this is.
905
00:39:25,193 --> 00:39:27,239
You signed a legal document.
906
00:39:27,282 --> 00:39:29,502
My client is prepared
to garnish your wages
907
00:39:29,546 --> 00:39:32,462
for the rest of your life
if you violate it.
908
00:39:32,505 --> 00:39:34,202
Well,
909
00:39:34,246 --> 00:39:37,510
not if I pay up front, right?
910
00:39:39,512 --> 00:39:43,255
You're prepared to pay
Mr. Alexander $4 million
911
00:39:43,298 --> 00:39:44,517
right now?
912
00:39:44,561 --> 00:39:46,737
Not that it's any
of your business,
913
00:39:46,780 --> 00:39:49,479
but a wealthy benefactor
has stepped forward
914
00:39:49,522 --> 00:39:52,656
and is willing to finance this
transaction for Ms. Atkins.
915
00:39:54,527 --> 00:39:56,486
Really?
916
00:39:56,529 --> 00:39:58,488
Might I ask who?
917
00:39:58,531 --> 00:40:01,316
Well, I suppose
it won't do any harm.
918
00:40:01,360 --> 00:40:03,406
The benefactor is
Beth Alexander,
919
00:40:03,449 --> 00:40:04,885
your client's ex-wife.
920
00:40:04,929 --> 00:40:07,322
And she asked me to ask you
if you wouldn't mind
921
00:40:07,366 --> 00:40:09,368
forwarding a message to Nathan.
922
00:40:09,412 --> 00:40:13,677
She wanted him to know
she really loved that horse.
923
00:40:17,768 --> 00:40:20,510
We, the jury,
find the defendant,
924
00:40:20,553 --> 00:40:22,729
Nathan Alexander...
925
00:40:24,862 --> 00:40:28,648
...liable for assault
and intentional infliction
926
00:40:28,692 --> 00:40:31,259
of emotional
distress.
927
00:40:31,303 --> 00:40:34,480
In addition, we, the jury,
award compensatory damages
928
00:40:34,524 --> 00:40:36,874
of $1 million
929
00:40:36,917 --> 00:40:39,311
to the plaintiff.
930
00:40:39,354 --> 00:40:43,054
And, in addition, we,
the jury, also award
931
00:40:43,097 --> 00:40:45,491
punitive damages
932
00:40:45,535 --> 00:40:47,928
of $25 million
933
00:40:47,972 --> 00:40:51,628
to the plaintiff.
934
00:40:51,671 --> 00:40:53,499
JUDGE:
This court thanks you
for your service.
935
00:40:53,543 --> 00:40:55,545
Court is adjourned.[gavel bangs]
936
00:40:55,588 --> 00:40:57,547
Thank you, Dr. Bull.
937
00:40:57,590 --> 00:40:59,679
I honestly don't know
what to say.
938
00:40:59,723 --> 00:41:02,377
[chuckles]
939
00:41:03,988 --> 00:41:05,555
I know this really wasn't
about the money for you,
940
00:41:05,598 --> 00:41:07,252
but trust me,
with a verdict like that,
941
00:41:07,295 --> 00:41:09,210
the D.A.'s gonna want
to reopen this case.
942
00:41:09,254 --> 00:41:13,214
And I'd be honored to be there
with you when it happens.
943
00:41:13,258 --> 00:41:16,827
[crying]:
I wouldn't have it
any other way.
944
00:41:16,870 --> 00:41:20,526
You know, there is a line
of women over there
945
00:41:20,570 --> 00:41:23,268
who want to tell you
how proud they are of you.
946
00:41:26,706 --> 00:41:30,014
I think I owe everything to you.
947
00:41:30,057 --> 00:41:31,972
Don't be ridiculous.
948
00:41:33,626 --> 00:41:37,325
We girls have to
stick together.
Yes.
949
00:41:37,369 --> 00:41:40,764
Thank you so much. Mmm.
950
00:41:42,287 --> 00:41:44,550
[knocking on door]
951
00:41:44,594 --> 00:41:46,552
Anna?
952
00:41:48,641 --> 00:41:52,602
It's me, it's-it's your dad.
953
00:41:52,645 --> 00:41:54,865
I've been calling and texting
954
00:41:54,908 --> 00:41:58,216
for the last three days.
955
00:41:58,259 --> 00:42:00,697
I called the phone company
this afternoon
956
00:42:00,740 --> 00:42:03,743
to find out that you blocked me.
957
00:42:06,224 --> 00:42:08,095
Anna, I...
958
00:42:08,139 --> 00:42:10,358
I just want to talk to you.
959
00:42:11,708 --> 00:42:14,711
If you're in there,
would you open the door,
960
00:42:14,754 --> 00:42:16,756
please?
961
00:42:21,761 --> 00:42:24,547
I love you, kiddo.
