Dr. Lightman, the guys from
homeland security are here.

They want your assessment of
the new handheld polygraph.

I'll be right there.

Do you workat the department
of homeland security?

Yes.

Yeah.

- Do you have black hair?
- Yes.

See, the handheldmeasures cardio
and galvanic skin response.

It's the only polygrapevereveloped
with this kindof portability.

Oh, not quite.

Uh, cal,you know secretary
miller from homelandsecurity.

Good to see you.

And this istom whitmore,
the new tsadeputy.

what the hell is this?

It's a lie detector.

The west africansused them first.

When you're on trial,you
held the egg in your hands,

and if it broke,it's a sign of anxiety.

You were found guilty.

well, I'd say our handheld'sa
little more advanced.

Well, unfortunately, both devices
sufferfrom the same problem.

Uh, ms. Cooper,would you mind?

may I?

Could you ask the
controlquestions again, please?

What are you doing?

Do you work at the
departmentof homeland security?

Uh, yes.

- Do you have black hair?
- Yes.

The problem with allpolygraph
tests is false positives.

Innocent people can fail if they
feel an increasein any emotion--

anger, fear, sexual arousal.

Not just guilt.

Your polygraphis no better than the egg at
telling us whichemotion it's responding to.

No.

I've been wantingto try that for years.

E, you would have beenund
foguilty, but you were just angry.

You should be, uh, spendingyour
money studying the face.

43 muscles combine toproduce a
possility of 10,000 expressions.

Now, if youlearn them all,
yoyou don't need a polygraph.

How much did we spendon
this damn project anyway?

Uh, not much. I'm sure we
can recoupmost of our costs.

- Now, that was lovely.
- What?

- A gestural retreat.
- What's that?

His step backwards. Means he
doesn't believea word he just said.

He's lying.

Well, I'm not a crook.

I've earned everything I've got.

Lie To Me
Season 1 - Episode 2
"Moral Waiver"

what do you see?

I see a skeptical, emotionally distant
scientist obsessing over facial twitches.

Why are you doing micro
expression training?

Well, I got it set at triple speed.

You know, when you try and hide your
emotions, they leak out at a fifth of a second?

Well, this is testing
me at a 15th of a second.

Impressive.

FEAR

You know who else is
impressive on that thing?

Is this another attempt to get me
to take ms. Torres under my wing?

You need somebody to back
you on the military case.

I got you for that.

I'll be courtside with earl white.

It's a freshman shooting guard,
hottest nba prospect in the country.

College athletic association wants us to
find out if he took a bribe to play for gwcu.

Well, we got a meeting at
fort meade in half an hour.

Look, I'll... I'll meet you there later,
okay, but let's get torres involved.

She's a natural. She's
got phenomenal instincts.

Doesn't mean she knows the science.

Dr. Foster said you wanted to see me?

What do you see?

Ange R.

Fear.

Sadness.

Let's go.

Specialist sheila lake has served with
the 23rd mountain division for three years,

two of those in afghanistan.

Lake is asserting that she was
raped by her platoon leader,

staff sergeant russell scott.

We'd like you to find out
if the allegation's true.

lake. Lake!

Grab your gear and report
to the staff judge advocate.

Is sergeant scottbeing court-martialed?

We're not there yet.

Sergeant scott'sleadership is crucial
to the tribalintelligence missions

we're runningon the pakistani border.

We start a court-martial proceeding,
he'll be off theline for six months.

Then, I'm afraidwe can't help you.

Excuse me?

Hire us when youwant the truth.

Why waste taxpayers' money
ifthat's not what you're after?

Dr. Lightman, my first concernis the
safety of every womanin that platoon.

That's why we'reinvestigating.

But sergeant scottpassed a polygraph.

Yeah, well,I bet his grandmother
didn't think he did it, either.

That's equally reliable.

Look, sergeant scott's
setto redeploy in three days.

He's the only commander who can
recognizehostiles on that border.

Without him,the mission's more
dangerous for every soldierin the 23rd.

I certainly can'thave a rapist in
charge ofthe females in that platoon,

but if I'm going to pull
sergeant scottoff the line,

I need to know this
womanis telling the truth.

Six-five, moves li
ke he's five-one.

Could dunk at ten, won
thestate championship at 14.

National high schoolplayer of
the year the last three years.

I would not have pegged
youfor a hoops geek.

You know thefifth-grade boy
with the vintagedr. J poster

and the instant recallof
his career stats?

I was that boy.

Dr. Foster? I'm jeremy levinewith
the athletic association.

Thanks for coming down.

Who doesn'tenjoy a day
watching earl whitedo his thing?

Howard taftcertainly does.

He's thealumni booster who allegedly paid
earl $50,000to come and play for carver.

We'd like to investigatethis quietly.

Earl's a good kid. He
lost his momlast year.

He's raisinghis brother on his own.

Plus, he's gonnago pro this spring, and you don't
wantany more bad press for the "one and done" rule.

Making kids go to college for a yearbefore they turn
pro forces them to takehigh school more seriously.

It also forcesyoung superstars to play a yearof
college ball, jacking up ratingsand revenues.

Loker here has a hard
timewith half-truths.

Earl white,dr. Gillian foster
and her associate,eli loker.

You folksare the lie guys, right?

More the truth guys,but
it depends on the case.

Do you havesome time to chat?

You know, I have to takemy little brother
home, and I got an econ midtermtomorrow.

Need to get with the books,you know?

But hit my cell later.
Anything I c doto clear my name.

Appreciate it.

Any quick reads?

His speech was hurried, and he brought that
basketballto his chest, creating a barrier between us.

Those are both signs of anxiety.

Well, that's something any college athletemight
feel when he's been accusedof taking a bribe.

We're not magicians. We're scientists.

We'll need to talk to earland the booster
to spot any conclusive signsof lying.

I'm not naive, okay?

When you sign upto be one of
four women in a platoonof 30 guys,

guys who aren'tgonna see another
womanfor six months, well...

like they say in girl
scouts, "be prepared."

So, you wereharassed?

Porn in the latrines...

jody calls.

Jody calls?

* I taught that bitchher
left then right *

* nailed her ass then left last night.*

- Got it.
- Yeah.

Did staff sergeant
scottparticipate in any of this?

He didn't make jokes or anything, but...

oh, his hands were everywhere.

He liked to walk in on uswhile we were
changing, if we were in the showers.

Tell us about the attack.

I was, uh...

I was on my way backfrom a workout.

Ran into himbehind the mess.

And he ordered me to strip.

He grabbed me.

He pinned me down.

And he assaulted me.

I was sexually assaulted.

Hey, what's upwith the mime act?

You ask the questions,I observe.

Dr. Lightman findsasking
questions distracting.

He prefers to watch.

You finish the psych profileon
the guy she's accused?

Nice to see you, too.

What's his problem?

"Friendly fire." "Collateral damage."

You can start with
thelies in the language.

Bet they're notgonna end there.

Last tuesday? I went to dinner.

I had a few drinksat the nco club.

I stopped by the px, and then
headed backto the barracks.

Tell me again--start
with drinks.

Drinks, px, barracks.

Toothpaste and deodorant.
I have the receipt.

You weren't anywherenear the mess hall?

I just said I wasn'T.

And you're telling me you
didn'tattack specialist lake?

That's exactly what I'm saying,and
while we're on the subject...

Okay. That's good.

Thanks for your time.

Hey, you. Whoa, quite
a bicepyou have there.

You must really lovethe
weight room, huh?

I don't normally mix
business withpleasure, but...

And I was wondering you
fancygrabbing a drink later or...

Uh, I'm not gay.

And isn't thisa little inappropriate?

Absolutely. Sorry.

Ght. Ri excuse me.

What the hell was that?

I love a man in uniform,you know?

The rape was unplaed,one time,
with no additionalviolence.

That suggestsa power assertive rapist,
somebody who is obsessedwith masculinity,

who needs othersto see him as a man.

If sergeant scott fitthe profile, he would have
reactedto my overture with one emotion-- disgust.

There was no disgust,just surprise.

Correct-- eyebrows
up, jaw down.

Okay, but... the guy
was totally amped up.

Yeah, but he showedno deception
leakage, right,no sign of lying.

He looked like he wantedto
throw me across the room.

A man charged with rapeis even more
likely to be angry if he's innocent.

- Well, they can't bothbe telling the truth.
- They're not.

Sheila lake madetwo mouth shrugs
when she was describingthe rape.

That's a classic gestural slip.

It means she has no
confidencein her words.

The woman was lying.

I was sexually assaulted.

You really think a woman
would lie about rape?

Unpleasant truths, pleasant truths,
human mortality,a moustache on a woman--

three thingswe'd all prefer to ignore.

Fbi crime reports have found that eight
percent of rapeallegations are false.

Okay, but the army vetsI worked with at tsa
said that sexual assaultwas a big problem.

It doesn't explainthe gestural slip.

Lake's alsonot exhibiting any of the
emotionsa rape victim typically displays

whenrecounting her story.

No shame... no fear.

We should be seeing a lotof activity
in the forehead, but there isn't any.

Maybe she's got post-traumatic stress.

Emotional numbingmight explain her
inabilityto express her feelings...

but not the mouth shrug.

Look, I'm telling you,there's
something off about sergeant scott.

You know, I once had actors play
out the testimonyfrom a rape case

in front of 30 federal judges.

And you knowthe biggest predictor of
whether they believed the man or the woman?

E gender of the judge.

You think I'm saying he's
guilty 'cause I'm a woman?

Me, darwin, and 2,000
yearsof evolutionary biology.

Well, I think whatdr.
Lightman is trying to say is

that it's important not tolet what you bring
in the room affect what yousee in the room.

Dr. Lightman?

What is it?

Harassment report. Opportunity
rep just sent it over.

Looks like it was
filedanonymously last fall.

It alleges sergeant
scottsurprised women in the showers

and entered their barracksunannounced.

Hmm, backs up lake's story.

You know,generally it's not a good
idea to call your boss an idiot.

- I didn't sayyou were an idi...
- but your buccinator did.

That's not...

oh, that's a pretty impressivecombination
of contempt and disgust.

I'M... I'm S... I...

apology accepted.

Head back to fort meade and check intothe
personnel files of the woman andthe sergeant.

And hang in there.

- You should consider goinga little easier on torres.
- Why?

She's all false positives.

See, that's the troublewith naturals.

They don't seewhat's missing.
They're all instinctand no science.

I'll havea falafel sandwich, please.

An italian ice. Grape.

You wash your hands today?

Uh, yeah, of course.

Do you have any kindof
pain in your neck?

Uh, no. Why?

People touch itwhen they lie.

It's a classic manipulator.

- You beento them athrootoday?
- Cal.

Uh, no.

Oh, great.

Anybody else wanta side of feces?

Anybody? Side of feces?

If an alum took me here, I would
want to playhoops for carver.

I bet it made an
impressionon earl white.

Why is it guys namedwhite are always
black and guys named blackare always white?

Am I going to besorry you're here?

Barry white,jack black.

Does your radical honestypledge mean
you have to sayeverything you think?

It's the only wayto be truly honest.

Let's turn it offwhile
we're working, shall we?

Now, what do we knowabout the booster?

Uh, howard taft, forty-five, made
his moneyon internet job boards,

led the funding campaign
forcarver's new athletic center.

Apparently helikes giving back.

Mr. Taft, thanks for
agreeingto talk with us.

Always a pleasure to talkcarver
basketball, dr. Foster.

Oh, championship ring. Sweet.

Must have cost afortune online.

Actually, I, uh,I earned it
riding the pinefor the '86 team.

What's that?

It's a, uh, voice stress analyzer.

It measures pitchand gauges anxiety.

We find it's less about
whatyou say than how you say it.

Now, tell usabout your
relationship with earl white.

He ordered me to strip.

He grabbed me...

oh, sorry.

These are specialistlake's
platoon mates.

Thanks for coming in.

I want to conductindividual interviews, so
if you could comewith me, you two stay here.

Thanks, heidi.

Pinned me down.

And he assaulted me.

I was sexually assaulted.

you finish the vocalstress
analysis on taft?

Yeah. Check it out.

Oh, championship ring. Sweet.

Must have cost a fortune online.

Actually, I... I earned it
riding the pine for the '86 team.

Typical vocal stresson
a typical question.

That's taft'svocal stress baseline.

And given how irritatingmost
people find you...

it's a high tolerance baseline.

He'd have to beextremely anxious
for his pitchto spike above it, so...

applying the baseline...

you can see from the spikesthat taft
had three moments of extreme anxiety.

Let me guess. That's when he
denied bribingour basketball phenom.

Yep. Indistinguishableto the ear, but...

and, no, I didn't bribe earl white.

Really, I didn't give earl a penny.

A bribe? I barely know the kid.

Thanksto the technology, we can
see the stressin taft's voice.

The data suggestsyoung mr. White
just came into a lot of money.

But we've seen no uptick
in earl'sspending habits.

I talked to his friends.

The guy's got no bling, he lives in a
walk-upwith his brother, he takes the bus...

earl's got a big payday
coming assoon as he turns pro.

Why take taft's moneyif
he's not going to spend it?

The psychology'sinconsistent.

We need to getinside earl's head.

You want me to pullrecent
interview footage,

see if he leaks anything when
he talks aboutplaying for carver?

Yeah.

What's that last sound wave?

Always a pleasure to talk
carver basketball, dr. Foster.

That is when taft met you.

See how the graphis all scrunched up?

It indicates arousal.

Apparentlythe pine was not the only
thingour aging jock wanted to ride.

Hey, can I...

Please.

Staff sergeantscott has a past.

He has a criminal record?

A long one.

I thought you couldn't
getinto the army with a record.

You can't, unless they grant
youwhat's called a moral waiver.

It used to bejust for misdemeanors,

but the armyis so stretched for recruits
that they're using themto let felons in.

Moral waiver.

The army reallyhas a way with words.

Uh, sergeant scottwas arrested for
possession, arson,assault and battery...

he has an arson conviction?

He was 16,but the assault's more recent.

No, I-it's the arsonthat's significant.

Arson and rape havean
unusually high correlation.

They're both crimesabout
the assertion of power.

So with the arson conviction...

yeah. It makes the
rapea lot more likely.

We're seng promising indicators
in the pentium chip market.

Techspring earningsshould
be strong as ever.

Hey, boss.

Call my broker, have him dump
all my holdingsin techspring.

Okay. And, uh, I just
spokewith major harris' office.

I told themyou were on your way.

Look at that hand shrug.

It's not a good time to
be investing in techspring.

We need to talk about sergeant scott.

This is classified. How'd you get it?

The same wayyou would have.

Given the correlationbetween
arson and rape...

well, it's interesting,but
it's irrelevant, I'm afraid.

Turns out lake's ptoon
matesd rather a lot to say.

Heidi said they
wouldn'ttalk about the rape.

Well, I didn't bring
themin to hear them talk.

I brought them into watch them listen.

- They turned thevideo back on, huh?
- Yep.

It's human nature.

They always flip the switch.

Hey, natural. What do you see?

Nothing. I don't seeanything.

Exactly.

- I don't understand.
- Well, look.

The absence of emotion is...

just as importantas
the presence of emotion.

Now, you,you need to learn that.

When womenlisten to a rape victim they
believe,they reflect certain emotions.

They blush, avert their
eyes,hunch their shoulders.

These women exhibitnone of that.

They're not showingany reflectors.

So they don't believe her.
That doesn't prove anything.

Lake lived with those womenfor three
years and neither one of themis reacting.

They knowthis rape never happened.

You made a false accusationagainst
your sergeant. That's a crime.

And then there's the other
women in your platoon.

You know, we have mpsstanding by.

If your friendshelped you plan this,
they're as guiltyas you are, right?

They know you're lying,don't they?

Thought so.

Have the mps arresther platoon
mates. They're all in on it.

No!Look, they had noth...They
had nothing to do with it.

It was my idea.

Sergeant Scott didn't rape you?

No.He didn't.

Take Specialist Lake into custody.

How could you do this?

You know how hard it is
for women in the military.

The army has just started to
take these claims seriously.

There are victims out
there who need help.

A lot of them.

You should be ashamed of yourself.

Ashamed?

I may have lied, but I
was doing the right thing.

Okay, I was trying
to protect my platoon.

I was doing the right thing.

I was doing the right thing!

ladies, if you could,uh, wait in there,
I will be taking youin one at a time.

Playing outyour favorite
fantasies, loker?

Studyingthe psychological
influence of uniformson credibility.

Lightman wanted to see how they
affect people'sability to spot lies.

Women in uniform?

I do love my work.

How's it going with lightman?

Uh, he's not my biggest fan.

Well, that's just'cause
you're uneducated.

Excuse me?

We, you're a natural.

The few naturalslightman's come
across have one thing in common.

No college degree.

You haven't been askedto focus on verbal
skills, so you focus on body language.

You're sayingI can't learn the science.

I'm saying you didn't ha to.

That's got tobe irritating for a guywho's spent
two decades trying to seewhat you were born seeing.

Thanks.

That's very un-loker of you.

I've never beenwith a latina woman.

Don't push it.

How's it goingwith the ballplayer?

- Ballplayers play baseball.
- Yeah.

Chicken dumpling?

Oh, no. Never eatmeat I can't see.

No. Really. No. You have
no ideawhat's in there.

Take a look at this.

Earl white just tookstate
for the third time.

The kid's on the list of
everynba scout in the country,

but when asked aboutplaying pro ball...

chin thrust. He's angry.

Very.

Earl white shouldbe on top of the
world. Why is he secretly angry?

I spot the liars. You're
the feelingsdepartment.

Follow me.

I got somethingfor you.

Okay, would you lie to right a wrong?

Depends. Why?

Lake lied, but then said she
wasprotecting her platoon.

I'm doing the right thing.

She said it with conviction,and
with no deception leakage.

How does accusing your commanderof
rape protect the platoon?

That's what iasked myself.

Okay, these are the individual
interviewswith her platoon mates.

Watch what happens whenthey
discuss sergeant scott.

Sergeant scott is a strong leader.

I'm glad sergeant scott's in command.

- Concealed disgust.
- Yup.

Looks the sameevery time.

They knowhe didn't rape sheila lake,
but they feel intense disgustfor him.

Made me think.

What if sheilalake didn't
lie about everything?

What if she lied about
thevictim, but not the crime?

So, you think sergeant scott
rapedsomeone else in the platoon?

The harassment report,arson conviction-- both
consistent with theprofile of a rapist, right?

What if the real victim is
too scaredto come forward?

So lake accuses sergeant
scottto right a past wrong,

and to protect the other
womenin the platoon.

Do you thinkscott raped one of them?

No. None of them isexhibiting any fear.

It could have been someonewho was
transferred, orr killed in combat.

I thought we weredone with this case.

No. It's possible sergeant scott raped
someone who used to be in the platoon.

Your buccinator'splaying up again.

It's not... I didn't say...

Oh, look. Now you'reembarrassed.

Well, you haveevery reason to be.
You did get it wrong,didn't you?

- I mean, sergeant scott didn't rape sheila lake.
- Cal...

what? She's the one making
snidecomments. Look at her face.

How do people work here?

Sergeant scott redeployswithin 24 hours.

I want you to get aholdof
military personnel.

I want the historic rosterfor
the platoon right away.

Got it.

What?

Oh, what,now you're starting on me?

Don't say something you'll
regret. And I saw that.

Can I have a muffin?

Ah, no. No, no, no, youdon't want
the muffins here. They are terrible.

They taste like sofa cushions covered
with the moldy nutsyour grandmother used to

- keep in that old jar on her...
- Okay, okay.

Between you and lightman,a girl could
starve. Do you have something for me?

Yeah, um...

I've been watching tape of e l trying
to understandwhat's behind the anger.

Uh, nothing so far,but I did
come up with this expression.

I've been throughthe facial coding book,
and there's elementsof au-four and au-five.

- But it's not anger.
- No.

It's not.

Can we pull up full
statsfor earl over the year?

Sure. What emotion is it?

It's not an emotion.

And earlier, ceo robert
rosiello tried to calm investors

after techspring shares plummeted in
the wake of a subpar q1 earnings report.

This is entirely unexpected.

I'm sure we'll rebound
in the second quarter.

You know, for a ceo,this
guy's a terrible liar.

You talk to personnelat fort meade?

None of the womenin the 23rd died in
combat, but there's onewho went awol.

Rebecca metz was on the
23rd'sroster in afghanistan.

Went awolfour months ago, shortly
afterher transfer request was denied.

She tried to transfer outof her platoon?

That's not all.

Here's a copy of the anonymousharassment
report on sergeant scott.

Handwriting's the same.

They have any idea where she is?

No, but the numberof awol soldiers
has doubled since we invaded iraq.

I doubt they gotthe manpower
to play that muchhide-and-seek.

- Well, she's got relativesin baltimore, right?
- Yeah.

Hate to miss a family reunion.

Hello?

Uh, what canI do for you?

Looking for your
granddaughter,rebecca metz?

She's not here.

Sounds good. You mind if I borrow this?

What? Where are you going?

Help!

- Help!
- Grandpa? Grand...

help.

Sheila admitted she was lying, but she
said she was tryingto protect the platoon.

I don't knowwhat this has to do with me.

Sheila didn't makeeverything up.

We know whyyou went awol.

We're not herefor the army.

We just want to knowwhat happened.

I, uh...

never had a problem with
sergeant scottin the states.

He wasn't loudor gross
like the other guys. But...

but on our first day
inafghanistan, after curfew,

he came in my tent.

He raped you?

The sergeant'sin charge.

He's supposed to have your back.

My job is to say yes.

Yes, sir.

It happened more than once?

Almost every night over
there... for months.

I couldn't take it anymore.
When we got back, I just...

you ran.

You need to come with us.

Your platoon redeploys tomorrow.

You can't letthe army send those women
back to afghanistanwith sergeant scott.

I can't go back.

Well, what about
sheila? She lied for you.

- I... I can'T.
- Rebecca...

no. I...

Okay. Okay then.

- Sorry tobarge in.
- What are you doing?

- I'm going back to the base.
- But...

okay.

How did... Did they follow us here?

Oh, no. I called them.

Leave me alone.

- Rebecca...
- I know you calledthe mps.

Well, I had hopedyou'd talk,
but, yeah, I had themstanding by.

- Rebecca, if you explain to us...
- Don't you get it?

Do you have any ideawhat it's
like to be a woman in the military?

You're either a bitchor a whore.

And they're just waitingfor you to
fail, to admit you can't hack it.

Well, then, go to jail. That'll sh 'em.

Be all you can be.

You're scared.

You are still scared of sergeant scott.

I'm not afraid of him.

You're afraid of something.

I'm afraidthey won't believe me.

Ah, it doesn't matterif
they believe you.

They'll believe me.

******

Hey, earl. Thanks for taking the time.

By the way,I'm a big
fan. Would you mind?

Oh, no problem.

Bet this'll be wortht a losome day.

Oh, yeah.

Autographs, shoes, bobble heads.

Pro ball is big business.

See the chin thrust?

What?

You thrust your chin out.
That's a signof anger.

You do it whenever you
talk about your pro career.

I think it's 'cause you're
angryyou're not gonna have one.

Hey, earl, catch.

We've seen thatbefore, too.

You make that face almost every
time youcatch a pass these days.

It's intensity.

No, actually, it's pain.

Doctors call itthe primal face of pain.

It's universal.

So what is it, earl?

Carpal tunnel? Arthritis?

Look, you know how many hoursI've
spent shooting free throws?

I've busted my asson the
court since I was nine.

I'm raising my brother,trying
to pay the rent--

a big pro contractwas
gonna change all that.

But you knowwho drafts
someone with erosive artitis?

Nobody.

So you took the bribe.

Look, I could've gone
proout of hhoolh sc,

but the athletic associationneeds
its big tournament,

so I gotta spendmy last good year
playing college ballfor nothing.

Look, mr. Taft's check was
the only paydayI was gonna get.

You telling me you wouldn't
havetaken that money?

V*******

I told the postcommander
this matterwas settled.

Sergeant scott isvital to our efforts.

He's supposed tobe on
a plane at 0100 hours.

I guess if the army's going to jeopardizethe
safety of women, it should be doneon time, right?

Private metz was awolfor five months.

You're sure her allegationhas merit?

I'm telling youshe's not lying.

Sergeant scott.

I'm convening an article
32court-martial hearing next week.

Unpack your gear, son.

Major harris, my client would
like toavoid any unnecessary delay.

He wants tplead out?

Our mission on the pakistaniborder
is critical to our safetyhere at home

and I have a
responsibilityto my platoon.

So, yes, I'm ready to plead
guiltyto fraternization.

Fraternization?

Sergeant scott had aconsensual
relationship wi private metz.

Becky was my girlfriend, sir.

This photo was taken duringthe period when
my client was allegedly rapingprivate metz.

Do you have otherslike this?

We have several, major.

You still want to
tellme she's not lying?

Isolate rebecca metz.

There's something not
rightabout her smile.

She doesn't look happy.

Push in on her eyes.

Browup,pulled together.

She's scared.

Yeah, it's a masking smile.

She's smilingbut her
eyes say she's afraid.

Very afraid.

- Will you pull up the masking smiles?
- Yeah.

Miss south carolina
can'tshow fear to the judges;

sarah palin has the
sameproblem with the press.

Rebecca metzwith her platoon leader.

Right, she doesn't want to
beinvolved with sergeant scott,

but he's her commander,she's
got to do what he says.

He wants sex, right?

She feels forcedto give it to him.

She can't say no.

It's nonconsensual. It's rape.

Army psychologistshave reported
several recent cases like this.

They're calling it"command rape."

It's comparable tosexual
harassment, but much moreextreme.

When your boss makes advances,
you're scaredof losing your job.

But if it's your platoon leader,
you're scaredof losing your life.

Sergeant scottredeploys tonight,
we have to get backto fort meade.

They won't believeit was rape.

Sergeant scott neverraised a hand.

It doesn't matter that he
didn't attack youphysically.

You were coerced.

No one's going to see itthat way.

I never actually said no.

He was responsiblefor your
safety. You had to feel threatened.

I was terrified.

Everyone knewif you crossed
him, he'd make you drive lead.

- Drive lead?
- Lead truck in the convoy.

It's the mostvulnerable
to a roadside bomb.

I had a friend die that way.

I knew from the firsttime he came
into my tent thatif I said no,

I'd beriving lead for a month.

So you just took it. You never said no?

Well, that's what
you'lltell major harris.

He'll never believe me.

Sure he will. We'll
put you on a polygraph.

They love themover there.

he'll never sayit that way. Sergeant
scott nevermade me drive lead.

And he'll never admithe would have.

She's right. We stilldon't have any
proof that he was tyingher safety to sex.

The truth isn't good
enoughfor these people.

Who said anythingabout the truth?

- Is your name rebecca metz?
- Yes.

And are you a private first class
with the 23rd mountain division?

Yes.

Did you ve a relationship with
staff sergeant russell scott?

No.

Private metz, let me rephrase.

Were you physically involved with staff
sergeant scott when you serving in afghanistan?

Yes. He forced me to have sex with him.

We had a relationship!

He ordered you to have sex with him?

No. But he was my commanding
officer, I didn't have a choice.

Did you ever refuse to have
sex with sergeant scott?

Yes... once.

He forced me to drive
leadconvoy for a week.

Th's a lie.

If she's lying,it graphs
above the red bar here?

that's right. Machine says it's true.

Well, it's not true!

The polygraph says it is.

I don't carewhat the machine
says. She's making it up.

I never made her drive lead!

- You never made her drive lead?
- No!

I thought that duty rotates.
You never made her drive lead?

I-I never made her
drive lead! It's a lie!

Sergeant, you don't have to respond.

So, as long she wasin a relationship
with you, she never hadto drive lead.

- Is that right?
- Sergeant scott...

is that right, sergeant scott?

Sergeant scott,don'T...

- is that right, sergeant scott?
- You don't have to respond.

Yeah! Yeah, that's right.

What? What?

Well, her safetywas in your charge.

You traded her safety for sex.

Major harris, my
clientdoesn't understand...

yes, he does.

What he did wasn't fraternization.

It was rape.

Arrest him underarticle 120.

You don't know we het
thll you're talking about.

I'm a decorated soldier!

I didn't do anything wrong!

Yeah, it sounds good.

What do you want, huh?

I'm already suspended, they're taking
away myscholarship, you hung me out.

You're the onewho took the bribe.

Look, the system's broken, earl.

And what am isupposed to do, huh?

How am I supposed to
take careof my brother?

I heard you did pretty
wellon your econ midterm.

- So?
- You want a degree.

So I convinced dr. Lightmanto
put our fee into a trust.

Probably not enough forfour years at
carver, but it'll get youthrough maryland.

What if I don't want your money?

Then throw it away. It's your call.

How did she do it?

We both know metz was
lyingabout driving lead convoy.

How did she beat the polygraph?

- valium?
- Yeah.

Takes the edge off.

Mutes the emotionalresponse.

You... you drugged herso she could lie?

Never let the facts getin
the way of the truth.

- You know, I wanted to...
- yeah, I know. Thanks.

For what?

You had a slightgratitude smile.

What, you're surprised? Really?

You know, just because idon't know your
science doesn't meanI don't know things.

You know, when you don'tknow the
science, you don't seethe whole picture.

People can get hurt,you know?

What was that? What happened?

- What?
- Shame.

When you saidpeople get
hurt, you showed shame.

I don't know whatyou're talking about.

You're lying.

Get used to it.
