All language subtitles for Law and order S17E08 - Release

(male announcer)
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.

♪ Yeah, yeah,
you're a rolling stone ♪

♪ You can tell
you're on your own ♪

[shouts and laughter]

Whoo, yeah!

Yeah, let me see
what you got.

Oh, that's just special.
Oh, ho, ho.

What do you got
underneath those shirts, ladies?

Whoo!
Yeah!

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.

You gonna take that smack
from her?

No.

[laughing]

(Chris)
All right.

We're gonna
get so naked for you.

Yeah, we are.
Of course.

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.

[laughing]

Let's go.

Let's go in.

Whoo!

This is amazing!

[laughter]

Hey Chris!

Hey Chris,
you want a little taste?

Hell no,
I'm going first.

Oh, now, ladies, ladies.
Fair is fair.

Both at the same time.

Ooh!

It's all yours, baby.

Ready?

Ready.

One...two...

Whoo!

Dude, what the hell is that?

(woman)
Oh, my God.

Uh, 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.

You can say what you like
when you have 5 billion

in family money.

Babes Being Bad.
Is this his operation?

Apparently Mr. Moore
just came to the party

to catch up on
his bare breast quotient.

That's who owns it.
Uh, 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 wanna hurt him?

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

Anybody get unruly
at your party tonight?

You get out of line,
you get tossed.

Okay, and did anybody
get tossed tonight?

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

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

I'm telling you,
I would have known.

This isn't a frat party.

It's a multi-million 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.
They're all yours.

Thanks.

The murder weapon.

Well.

Wow, somebody went to town
on Mr. Moore.

And left out the window.

Detectives,
take a look at this.

Partial bloody print
on the sill.

How much 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.

Wow.

Hot pants, dignity.

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

he 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 party goers?

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'sYeah.
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 am so glad
I didn't have daughters.

Hey, the 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.

(Bryce)
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

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.

He 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 ain'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.

Um, 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&T hoe.

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 ten 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.

(Green)
Sending her
four emails a day.

Voice mails, 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.

There's no love triangle.

Was she working me a little?
Sure.

But she wasn't involved
with Hudson anymore,

and he didn't care
about Samantha anyway.

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?
Taking 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 working a party,
he never leaves my side.

(Green)
The bodyguard
backs up Drake.

He said he was at that party
all night long.

Didn't go near that bus
until they found the body.

Well, how long has
this bodyguard

been on the payroll?

Since the beginning.
Four years.

Mm-hmm.

Yeah, I got the same thing.

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

He got a line of women
up to his door.

Would he murder
over a woman?

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 Riker's.

Richard "The Bomb" Condell.

A music producer
who runs in their circle.

What was the collar?

Did a hand-to-hand
with undercover

from Bronx Narcotics--
cocaine.

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 BBB party.

Was Hudson Moore
wearing a watch when he died?

It wasn't on the body.

Go to Riker's.

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 have
just mailed it.

It's a $100,000
Patek Phillipe.

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 talking to some girl.

I came out of the party,
was like, "Hey,douchebag."

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.

Blond hair.

Young, cute.
Like all of them.

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 trying 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 playing 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 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.

No one is saying
this is premeditated, Chris.

Spur of the moment,
things got out of hand.

No, wrong.

Have anything to do
with that girl you were with?

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.

(Green)
Good, it's out of our hands.

I want my lawyer
right now.

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.

(Van Buren)
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.

(Van Buren)
Let's make sure
he doesn't

lie to us again.

Can I see it
one more time?

Yeah.

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?

20 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 nothing,

but they're not for free.

So everybody has to sign
a release form, right?

Why didn't you
tell us that before?

Because without a subpoena,
I can't.

It would be my ass.

Drake would have my job.

That's a hell of a job
you trying to hold on to, bro.

(girl)
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 V.I.P.?

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 'em
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 blond.

Thank you.

I'm getting depressed.

300 girls dying to flash
for a second of fame.

Hey, any more Nicoles
over there?

No, just those three.

I mean, don't they get it?

The video is forever.

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.

Oh, 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 M.O.

They get you bombed,

so you'll show your stuff
or worse.

Worse how?

Well, have you
seen the tapes?

Yeah, it was pretty tame.

Um, they're getting more
into serious hardcore.

A friend of mine
got on the bus

at a Fort Lauderdale party
last month.

There was like, toys,
three-ways.

The whole shebang,
so to speak.

But I just
lifted my shirt.

Or so you think.

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 have.

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
a 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?

Mm-hmm.

Did you go
to the VIP room,

see Chris Drake,
Hudson Moore?

No.

(Green)
You ever met
those dudes before?

No.

No?

I just
thought it would be fun.

The party, I mean.

Okay.

Well, um, if you
think of anything else

that could help...

Oh, sorry, I gave you two.

Thanks.

That was slick.
Let's get it to the lab.

That's her.

Nicole Flynn?

The one 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 a wannabe.

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?

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?

(Green)
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.
What did she do?

She's a student
who works two jobs

to put herself
through school.

What could she have done?

Nicole Flynn,
you're under arrest

for the murder
of Hudson Moore.

[crying]
I'm sorry, Mom.

You have the right
to remain silent.

Listen, Nicole,
don't say another word.

Anything you say can...
And you can't talk to her

unless you have an attorney--
I know that for a fact!

(Green)
Step off!

...now and 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 $1 million.

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

is a junior at Queens College,

works part time
at New York Savings and Loan,

lives with her parents...

(Judge)
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 came.

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.

They're--they're real proud
Irish Catholic, you know.

Nicole called Chris Drake
about 100 times,

but no one
from BBB 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?

(Nicole)
Sure.

For ten 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 ten grand."

Unless I had sex with him.

And you agreed.

Yeah.

So we left the bar

and went back
to 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 ten grand
I had to stay put

for another hour.

And then he left.

And then a few minutes later,
Hudson walked in.

He started touching me.

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.

minutes before
she killed Hudson Moore.

You gotta be kidding me.

Rape?

You seem surprised.

Yeah, I'm shocked.

Were you shocked
when Marilyn Farr accused you?

How about Angie Gifford
or Sarah Lord?

Or Maureen Kagen?

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,

to make sure he stands up
on cross.

Witness?

No, you must be mistaken.

Mr. Drake's invoking
his Fifth Amendment right

to keep his mouth shut.

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?

Her parents?
God, no.

They're, like,
super strict.

That's why she was
so freaked out.

Does Nicole date a lot?

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,
your friend killed someone.

A guy is dead.

We have to ask questions
about her personal life,

Listen, 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, hard working,

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.

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 telling 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.

(McCoy)
Chris Drake:

"I got an early B-Day present
for you, bro.

"She's in the bedroom
right now.

"Good to go."

Hudson Moore:
"Is she hot?"

Chris Drake:
"7 3/8.

"But she has a great ass
and likes it rough.

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

[sighs]

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.

Yeah, right.

(Drake)
It's pretty good.
How much?

(man)
This is 6,000 a case.

I'll give you ten grand
for two.

But I need it
by next week.

Throwing
a dinner party for...

You can forget about
your little party, Chris.

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

Arresting your punk ass.

What?
For what?

Shut up.

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.

(McCoy)
It doesn't matter.

Because the rape,
the underlying felony,

was still ongoing...

since Drake told Ms. 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?

(McCoy)
"Foresee ability
does not require

"That the result
be the most likely outcome.

"Only that it be
reasonably foreseeable."

People V. Kibbe.

(Swain)
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.

Well, 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.

(McCoy)
How many times
did you say, "Stop"?

Five times.

And did he stop?

No.

I tried
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.

(McCoy)
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 Ms. Flynn
and the defendant.

Your Honor,
may we approach?

The video has nothing to do
with the central issue

of this trial: consent.

Whether Ms. 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, Ms. Flynn,
while naked,

talks seductively
to Chris Drake.

(McCoy)
Talk does not constitute
sexual contact.

Ms. Flynn was merely
playing for the camera,

giving Mr.
what he wanted.

Meaningless titillating banter.

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

[Flynn laughing on screen]

(Drake)
It's spring break.

What's the point
of being shy?

Okay.
Okay, okay, okay.

(Drake)
That's it.
Show us what you got.

Oh!
That's all right!

That's what
I'm talking about.

(Flynn)
Oh, my God.

I can't believe I did that.

(Drake)
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.

Real nasty.

Nasty.
Just a little bit.

Yeah.

So tell me,

what would you do right now
if we were all alone

on my private jet?

(Flynn)
If we were all alone?

I would be your naughty
little freak toy.

(Drake)
Is that right?

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?

(Flynn)
Yes.

(Swain)
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.

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.

(Swain)
Your Honor, I would like
to offer into evidence

Defense Exhibit 43.

A sexual consent form
signed by Ms. 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.

I don't disagree.

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

I don't see any prejudices
if the defense

hands it over now.

(Swain)
Do you usually ask women

to sign a consent form?

Yes.

Why?

To protect myself from women
trying to invent stories

the morning after.

(Swain)
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."

(Swain)
Did she ever say no
or tell you to stop?

Of course not.

If she did,
I would have stopped.

(Swain)
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 ausual 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.

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 him?

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?

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'll 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 are 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,

which is 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 Ms. Perkins
has identified

People's Exhibit 54,
a sexual consent form

entered into
by her daughter Cheryl Perkins

with the defendant,
dated May 12, 2003.

How old was your daughter
when she signed this?

16.

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.

(McCoy)
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,"
Your Honor,

People V. McDaniel.

Please approach.

I'm gonna allow
Ms. 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.

Mrs. Perkins?

Cheryl got drunk
at one of those BBB 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."

(McCoy)
When did Cheryl
tell you this?

20 minutes
before she hanged herself.

(Swain)
Despi'a

believe a word out
of Nicole Flynn's mouth.

Yoknow 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?

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,

no, thousands of girls?

(McCoy)
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 a 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 can 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.

5 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 a verdict?

We have, Your Honor.

On the charge of rape,
how do you find?

We find the defendant Guilty.

On the charge
of Felony Murder,

how do you find?

Guilty.

Thank you.

Jury is dismissed.

You can't do this to me.

I'm--I'm not a murderer.

I didn't hurt any--wait!

Please!
I beg you!

Please don't send me to jail!

Please!
Please!

I beg you!

No, please!

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?
