1 00:00:01,470 --> 00:00:03,610 Previously on L .A. Law. I could do it. 2 00:00:04,410 --> 00:00:06,030 Sidney and Charlie would get along without me. 3 00:00:06,410 --> 00:00:09,250 I'd go back there and wrap up whatever I need to wrap up in a matter of days. 4 00:00:09,710 --> 00:00:10,710 Yes, Tom. 5 00:00:10,850 --> 00:00:13,770 Audrey and I are an on -again, off -again kind of thing. That wouldn't 6 00:00:13,770 --> 00:00:14,770 me from moving. 7 00:00:15,230 --> 00:00:18,910 Well, it sounds like nothing's stopping you. And you're comfortable dealing with 8 00:00:18,910 --> 00:00:19,910 California law. 9 00:00:20,030 --> 00:00:22,970 I dealt with it when I was handling divorces in New York. Plus, I'll be 10 00:00:22,970 --> 00:00:26,650 the California bar exam soon, so I'll be boning up on it. I'm sure people tell 11 00:00:26,650 --> 00:00:28,690 you all the time how you don't look like a private investigator. 12 00:00:29,280 --> 00:00:32,800 Yes, they do. Yeah, I figured they did. Is that something you were planning on 13 00:00:32,800 --> 00:00:33,880 saying? Me? No. 14 00:00:38,820 --> 00:00:39,820 My God. 15 00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:41,560 What kind of car is this? 16 00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:42,920 It's a Ferrari. 17 00:00:46,400 --> 00:00:48,960 You're not an overly fast driver by any chance, are you? 18 00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:52,800 No. 19 00:01:03,050 --> 00:01:04,129 Mr. Emmerich? Yes. 20 00:01:04,450 --> 00:01:08,910 I'm Leland McKenzie. Oh, well, I had hoped to consult with Daniel Morales, 21 00:01:08,910 --> 00:01:10,030 I'm told he's in absentia. 22 00:01:10,290 --> 00:01:13,930 That's correct. Daniel's in court this morning. I assigned him to a trial 23 00:01:13,930 --> 00:01:15,430 consuming more time than expected. 24 00:01:15,750 --> 00:01:19,470 You may or may not be aware that Mr. Morales is defending me in a lawsuit 25 00:01:19,550 --> 00:01:23,070 although frivolous, nonetheless could prove injurious to my reputation. 26 00:01:23,390 --> 00:01:27,110 Oh, I'm very aware of your case, Mr. Emmerich. In fact, I'd like to handle 27 00:01:27,110 --> 00:01:31,070 depositions myself, assuming you're amenable. I'm completely amenable. Well, 28 00:01:31,090 --> 00:01:32,090 good, good. 29 00:01:32,350 --> 00:01:37,250 I have a brief staff meeting to go to, after which we can consult as long as 30 00:01:37,250 --> 00:01:39,030 like, and then proceed from there. 31 00:01:39,870 --> 00:01:41,450 Oh, uh, Denise? 32 00:01:41,910 --> 00:01:42,910 Would you show Mr. 33 00:01:43,030 --> 00:01:44,330 Emmerich to my office? Sure. 34 00:01:44,650 --> 00:01:45,650 Right this way. 35 00:01:45,890 --> 00:01:47,370 It's a little hectic in here today. 36 00:01:47,610 --> 00:01:50,410 Can I get you a cup of coffee or something to drink? You're from Queens? 37 00:01:50,630 --> 00:01:52,770 Yeah, how did you know? Your elongated diphthongs. 38 00:01:53,230 --> 00:01:54,570 Excuse me? Your accent, my dear. 39 00:01:54,770 --> 00:01:57,970 Who are you, Henry Higgins? Well, you might say that I'm his modern 40 00:01:58,370 --> 00:02:02,470 I help people develop their vocal instruments to communicate more 41 00:02:02,510 --> 00:02:05,230 and accent elimination is one of my specialties. 42 00:02:05,430 --> 00:02:06,670 So why are you telling me? 43 00:02:06,930 --> 00:02:11,330 I mean no offense, but surely you must be aware of the social stigmas that 44 00:02:11,330 --> 00:02:15,770 attach to certain proletarian dialects. Such stigmas can inhibit one's personal 45 00:02:15,770 --> 00:02:16,850 and career opportunities. 46 00:02:17,190 --> 00:02:21,250 I can virtually promise you that after one... 47 00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:24,960 Quick lesson. You will speak with more clarity and presence than you ever 48 00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:25,960 dreamed possible. 49 00:02:29,260 --> 00:02:33,320 Everett versus Everett. Another divorce. Mr. Everett is accusing Mrs. 50 00:02:33,540 --> 00:02:35,520 Everett of cheating on him with his business partner. 51 00:02:35,920 --> 00:02:36,920 How is that relevant? 52 00:02:36,980 --> 00:02:38,920 It's my job to make it relevant. 53 00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:42,900 Towards that end, I'll be using Jink's Baldessari. One surveillance photo is 54 00:02:42,900 --> 00:02:43,900 worth a thousand words. 55 00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:46,000 Eli, you're taking the bar exam tomorrow. 56 00:02:46,380 --> 00:02:48,840 That's right. Good luck, Eli. Why are you even here? 57 00:02:49,140 --> 00:02:50,580 Shouldn't you be locked away somewhere? 58 00:02:50,980 --> 00:02:53,420 You're right. I should be. You're right. I just thought I'd check in with all of 59 00:02:53,420 --> 00:02:55,480 you before walling myself off for the final push. 60 00:02:56,140 --> 00:02:59,260 Now that I've done that, I will see you when it's over. 61 00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:00,560 Good luck. 62 00:03:00,740 --> 00:03:04,560 Tancaba versus Emmerich. That's mine. I thought this was Daniel Morales' matter. 63 00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:06,480 Daniel is in the middle of a trial. 64 00:03:07,180 --> 00:03:11,980 Rather than let a client be shortchanged by our oversight and delegation... 65 00:03:12,300 --> 00:03:16,300 I decided to take the case myself. Then let's hear it. We represent Arthur 66 00:03:16,300 --> 00:03:17,700 Emmerich, a voice therapist. 67 00:03:18,060 --> 00:03:21,720 He's being sued by a former client. The man claims that his voice did not 68 00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:24,060 improve after taking Mr. Emmerich's speech course. 69 00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:28,380 He's suing for fraud, breach of contract. You'll forgive me, Leland. I 70 00:03:28,380 --> 00:03:31,740 all the best of luck representing this client, but I've seen his ads. I think 71 00:03:31,740 --> 00:03:33,460 this guy's a con man. In what respect? 72 00:03:33,780 --> 00:03:37,620 Well, I think he might oversell the importance of one's voice just a tad. 73 00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:40,220 I can't imagine that it really makes that much difference. 74 00:03:41,429 --> 00:03:42,429 Excuse me, Arnold. 75 00:03:42,750 --> 00:03:45,270 Jinx Baldessari is waiting to see you in your office. 76 00:03:45,570 --> 00:03:48,250 Are you available to see her now, or shall I tell her that you're detained? 77 00:03:53,490 --> 00:03:54,490 What? 78 00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:52,460 Miss Pagan, have you ever let someone tie you up for money? 79 00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:55,940 Objection. There's no allegation that she was tied up in the present case. 80 00:05:56,420 --> 00:06:00,800 Sustained. Have you ever participated in sex with more than one person at a time 81 00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:04,260 for money? Objection. There's no allegation of group sex in the present 82 00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:08,300 Sustained. Have you ever participated in bestiality for money? Mr. DiStefano, 83 00:06:08,420 --> 00:06:11,580 come on. Your Honor, I think it's perfectly relevant to establish to what 84 00:06:11,580 --> 00:06:14,260 lengths this woman will go for money. I'm holding otherwise. 85 00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:18,770 Next question. Excuse me, I have a question. Is it... All right if I ask a 86 00:06:18,770 --> 00:06:22,790 question? Certainly. I still don't really understand this whole hearing 87 00:06:22,790 --> 00:06:25,110 thought you couldn't ask a rape victim about her past. 88 00:06:25,390 --> 00:06:29,370 Normally that's true, Miss Hagen. That's why we have these Section 782 hearings 89 00:06:29,370 --> 00:06:30,370 away from the jury. 90 00:06:30,510 --> 00:06:34,810 Mr. DiStefano persuaded me that certain elements of your past sexual behavior 91 00:06:34,810 --> 00:06:38,770 could be relevant. He questions you here, then I decide what he can and 92 00:06:38,770 --> 00:06:40,210 ask you again in front of the jury. 93 00:06:40,430 --> 00:06:43,250 And this is all because I'm a prostitute, right? In part, yes. 94 00:06:43,470 --> 00:06:44,510 Sex is your profession. 95 00:06:45,070 --> 00:06:47,450 The way in which you conduct that profession could be relevant. 96 00:06:50,130 --> 00:06:53,770 Okay. Do you have any other questions, Mr. DiStefano? Just a few. 97 00:06:54,730 --> 00:06:57,190 Miss Hagen, have you ever simulated rape for money? 98 00:06:58,070 --> 00:07:00,510 Yes. Did you enjoy simulating rape for money? 99 00:07:00,730 --> 00:07:02,830 I'm not going to allow that one, Mr. DiStefano. Move on. 100 00:07:03,190 --> 00:07:06,490 Isn't enacting rape fantasies one of your specialties? I'm not going to allow 101 00:07:06,490 --> 00:07:10,090 that one either. Have you ever participated in rough sex for money? 102 00:07:10,490 --> 00:07:11,610 What do you mean by rough? 103 00:07:12,130 --> 00:07:14,090 Have you ever let someone hit you for money? 104 00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:17,580 I haven't let someone hit me, no. But you have been hit during sex. 105 00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:20,740 Once or twice, yeah. Did you prosecute for rape? 106 00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:22,200 No. 107 00:07:23,260 --> 00:07:26,420 I think that's it, Your Honor. Thank you for your cooperation, Miss Hagen. 108 00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:30,380 I can give you my decision now. 109 00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:33,240 With all due respect, Your Honor, isn't the court going to take some time to 110 00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:36,840 deliberate? No, Mr. DiStefano. The court is not going to take some time to 111 00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:39,400 deliberate. The court is ready to render a decision now. 112 00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:43,300 I'll allow the question about simulated rape and the questions about rough sex. 113 00:07:43,630 --> 00:07:47,070 That's it? That's it. Judge Walker, with all due respect, I believe that the 114 00:07:47,070 --> 00:07:49,830 questions you've permitted won't make any sense to the jury without the 115 00:07:49,830 --> 00:07:50,830 questions you've excluded. 116 00:07:50,970 --> 00:07:54,090 If I could just have some time to brief the issue... I don't think that'll be 117 00:07:54,090 --> 00:07:55,090 very helpful, Mr. 118 00:07:55,170 --> 00:07:56,850 DiStefano. I made a decision. 119 00:07:57,090 --> 00:07:58,210 I told you what it is. 120 00:07:58,770 --> 00:07:59,770 Thank you. 121 00:08:04,450 --> 00:08:08,750 So if I understand this procedure correctly, you'll be asking me 122 00:08:08,750 --> 00:08:10,430 that right, Mr. McKenzie? That's right, Mr. 123 00:08:10,710 --> 00:08:13,710 Pencarver. As soon as your lawyer gets here, we can begin. 124 00:08:13,970 --> 00:08:14,970 Oh, he's not coming. 125 00:08:15,530 --> 00:08:16,349 Why not? 126 00:08:16,350 --> 00:08:19,990 I couldn't get him to answer my phone calls, so I fired him. Well, did you try 127 00:08:19,990 --> 00:08:24,010 employing the telephone voice that we worked on? Why would I? It was just as 128 00:08:24,010 --> 00:08:27,230 ineffective as all the other gibberish you taught me. Do you understand your 129 00:08:27,230 --> 00:08:30,090 disadvantage here, proceeding without an attorney? 130 00:08:30,310 --> 00:08:35,030 I don't view it as a disadvantage, Mr. McKenzie. I believe I'm fully capable of 131 00:08:35,030 --> 00:08:36,710 representing myself competently. 132 00:08:37,799 --> 00:08:40,780 And that's just what I intend to do. Let the record reflect Mr. 133 00:08:41,059 --> 00:08:43,340 Pencava opted to proceed pro se. 134 00:08:43,980 --> 00:08:48,060 Mr. Pencava, what led you to enroll in Mr. Emmerich's Vocal Academy? 135 00:08:48,420 --> 00:08:51,280 Well, at the risk of stating the obvious, I wanted to change my voice. 136 00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:55,120 I take it you were dissatisfied with some aspect of your voice? I was 137 00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:57,360 dissatisfied with every aspect of my voice. 138 00:08:58,060 --> 00:09:02,200 Mr. McKenzie, all my life I've been mimicked, ridiculed, and dismissed. 139 00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:04,740 Well, I'm 63 years old and I'm sick of it. 140 00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:08,880 I'm sick of calls going unreturned, of being ignored by waitresses and taxi 141 00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:12,860 drivers, and I'm sick of the smirks on people's faces every time I open my 142 00:09:12,860 --> 00:09:17,780 mouth. Mr. Pencava, when you first met Mr. Emmerich, what prognosis did he 143 00:09:17,780 --> 00:09:21,120 offer? He said that by the time I got to his vocal academy, I wouldn't even 144 00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:22,200 recognize my voice. 145 00:09:22,460 --> 00:09:26,100 Well, I took every class you offered, Mr. Emmerich, some of them twice, and my 146 00:09:26,100 --> 00:09:29,960 voice hasn't changed at all. What more could I have done for you, Francis? 147 00:09:31,020 --> 00:09:33,060 Didn't I spend time after class? 148 00:09:34,030 --> 00:09:39,090 cajoling you to project from your diaphragm to feel the tonal currents 149 00:09:39,090 --> 00:09:43,670 from the abdomen and through the nasal pharynx. And where did it get me? Did it 150 00:09:43,670 --> 00:09:46,670 improve my social life like you said it would? Did my career advance? 151 00:09:46,970 --> 00:09:48,150 I never made any promises. 152 00:09:48,630 --> 00:09:52,590 You did. By implication, you certainly did. No, Francis, what I said was those 153 00:09:52,590 --> 00:09:56,690 are the natural rewards of improved vocal presence, which you, 154 00:09:57,030 --> 00:09:58,720 were. Unable to achieve. 155 00:09:59,020 --> 00:10:01,280 And who fought with that? Perhaps yours, Mr. 156 00:10:01,620 --> 00:10:02,620 Pencarver. Mine? 157 00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:07,400 Yes. Did you complete the required homework assignments? For example, did 158 00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:11,620 practice your basal glissandos at home every night? Yes, I did. Your deep 159 00:10:11,620 --> 00:10:15,480 -throated yodeling? I did that, too. Your soft palate vibratos, your facial 160 00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:19,500 calisthenics, your epiglottal tongue presses? I did them all, every single 161 00:10:19,500 --> 00:10:20,940 night. And you want to know why? 162 00:10:21,550 --> 00:10:25,210 Because I believed in you, Mr. Emmerich. I actually thought you could get me to 163 00:10:25,210 --> 00:10:26,250 sound like a regular guy. 164 00:10:26,490 --> 00:10:29,230 But you cheated me, and you thought you could get away with it. 165 00:10:29,550 --> 00:10:31,230 Well, think again, Mr. Emmerich. 166 00:10:31,610 --> 00:10:33,710 Francis Pencava will not roll over. 167 00:10:35,270 --> 00:10:37,370 Francis Pencava will not go away. 168 00:10:41,410 --> 00:10:42,410 Eli, how's it going? 169 00:10:42,630 --> 00:10:46,730 Great. Just great. Shooting through the California Civil Code. It's freezing in 170 00:10:46,730 --> 00:10:48,170 here. It is cold, I realize that. 171 00:10:48,650 --> 00:10:50,450 You want to take a break, get some dinner? 172 00:10:50,790 --> 00:10:54,450 No, I don't think so, but thanks. Can I eat? Not necessarily. The combination of 173 00:10:54,450 --> 00:10:56,350 hunger and air conditioning has me extremely focused. 174 00:10:56,730 --> 00:11:00,370 Plus, I've been chewing this Japanese coffee gum, and that's provided a 175 00:11:00,370 --> 00:11:02,250 significantly heightened energy level. 176 00:11:02,510 --> 00:11:06,890 Japanese coffee gum. It's called Kohi Pato. One stick has a caffeine 177 00:11:06,890 --> 00:11:07,970 of ten cups of coffee. 178 00:11:08,370 --> 00:11:10,150 Do you want some? No, thanks. 179 00:11:10,530 --> 00:11:14,230 Perfectly safe. As safe as a cup of coffee. As safe as ten cups of coffee. I 180 00:11:14,230 --> 00:11:15,290 think I'll pass anyway. 181 00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:19,380 Look, Eli, I think you should definitely get something to eat. I feel very 182 00:11:19,380 --> 00:11:20,540 strongly about this. 183 00:11:21,260 --> 00:11:24,780 What's interesting is that coffee acts as an accelerant to coffee gum. It's 184 00:11:24,780 --> 00:11:28,260 important to maintain a balance. Coffee, gum, gum, coffee. Coffee, gum, gum, 185 00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:31,820 coffee. The combined effect creates a hole that's greater than the sum of its 186 00:11:31,820 --> 00:11:35,080 parts. If you monitor your intake, you achieve the greatest level of 187 00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:36,080 stimulation. 188 00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:39,980 I think you're pretty stimulated already. I think maybe you should go 189 00:11:39,980 --> 00:11:43,300 get some rest. I'll be leaving here at 1 .30 a .m. I'll be in bed by 2 .15. 190 00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:44,640 Yeah, it all worked out. 191 00:11:44,860 --> 00:11:47,840 I think it's critical to be as precise as possible in charting your team while 192 00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:48,840 studying for the bar. 193 00:11:48,920 --> 00:11:52,200 As long as I avoid distractions, stay focused, and keep to the program, 194 00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:53,320 everything will be fine. 195 00:11:53,460 --> 00:11:57,020 Well, I'm going to let you get back to it. I'll see you tomorrow. Thanks, 196 00:11:57,040 --> 00:11:58,040 Stuart. 197 00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:01,380 Hey. Hey, what are you doing here? 198 00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:03,740 Putting together some surveillance photos for Arnie. 199 00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:05,200 What are you doing here? 200 00:12:05,420 --> 00:12:07,480 Studying for the bar. Tomorrow's the first day of the exam. 201 00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:08,880 You want some coffee? 202 00:12:09,160 --> 00:12:10,160 I do. 203 00:12:11,420 --> 00:12:13,020 Is there enough left is the problem. 204 00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:14,760 Are you all right? 205 00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:16,039 What do you mean? 206 00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:17,260 I mean, look at you. 207 00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:19,620 You're sweating. You're shaking. 208 00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:23,320 I've had a fair amount of caffeine today. I had coffee. I had calopato gum. 209 00:12:23,540 --> 00:12:26,500 The caffeine, I think, is probably acting as a diaphoretic, which is why 210 00:12:26,500 --> 00:12:27,479 sweating. 211 00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:28,940 My heart's beating pretty fast, too. 212 00:12:29,700 --> 00:12:32,260 My God, this can't be healthy, can it? Can you feel it? 213 00:12:34,380 --> 00:12:36,420 Your heart is beating pretty fast. 214 00:12:36,920 --> 00:12:38,500 Here, feel mine. 215 00:12:40,060 --> 00:12:41,300 Huh? What? 216 00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:44,740 Your heart's definitely not beating as fast as mine. I think I know a way to 217 00:12:44,740 --> 00:12:45,740 catch up. 218 00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:51,620 Are you involved with anyone? 219 00:12:52,020 --> 00:12:55,100 No. I mean, I came out here alone. 220 00:12:55,400 --> 00:12:56,199 I'm alone. 221 00:12:56,200 --> 00:12:58,200 Now. Officially, I'm not involved with anyone. 222 00:12:58,460 --> 00:12:59,720 I'm glad to hear that. 223 00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:07,640 So, Mr. Emmerich. 224 00:13:08,680 --> 00:13:12,840 Think you're prepared to withstand the crucible of my interrogation? Mr. 225 00:13:12,920 --> 00:13:17,140 Pencarver, I'm not going to allow my client to answer any questions that are 226 00:13:17,140 --> 00:13:19,300 extraneous to the issues at hand. 227 00:13:19,540 --> 00:13:22,720 In that case, I'd like him to tell me if he recognizes this. 228 00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:26,180 That is a print advertisement for my classes. 229 00:13:26,520 --> 00:13:28,840 Exactly. Read it, Mr. Emmerich. 230 00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:36,080 Vocal therapist Arthur Emmerich announces another series of Express for 231 00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:37,100 seminars. Stop. 232 00:13:37,930 --> 00:13:39,690 What does that mean, Mr. Emmerich? 233 00:13:40,690 --> 00:13:41,930 Express for success. 234 00:13:42,310 --> 00:13:46,250 It refers to the fact that proper vocal expression can help one achieve success. 235 00:13:46,510 --> 00:13:51,030 I attended seminars where you taught proper vocal expression. Did I achieve 236 00:13:51,030 --> 00:13:51,969 success? No. 237 00:13:51,970 --> 00:13:55,090 Please continue reading the ad, Mr. Emmerich. 238 00:13:55,350 --> 00:13:59,290 The intermediate course teaches basic vocal skills that will make you more 239 00:13:59,290 --> 00:14:01,330 effective in social situations. Stop. 240 00:14:01,680 --> 00:14:05,680 I took the intermediate course. Was I more effective in social situations? 241 00:14:05,920 --> 00:14:09,680 I don't see the word guarantee here anywhere. Admit it, Mr. Emmerich. Your 242 00:14:09,680 --> 00:14:12,880 classes don't work. You are a charlatan, a fraud. Mr. 243 00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:17,020 Pencarlo, I'll have you know, the vast majority of students respond to my 244 00:14:17,020 --> 00:14:18,360 methods, but I'm not a miracle worker. 245 00:14:18,700 --> 00:14:22,100 I can't be expected to fashion a Stradivarius from a kazoo. 246 00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:25,720 That's not the impression you gave me. Francis, the parameters of our covenant 247 00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:30,580 were that you paid me to instruct you in the vocal sciences, a service which 248 00:14:30,580 --> 00:14:31,890 I... rendered in good faith. 249 00:14:32,090 --> 00:14:35,410 But I cannot be held responsible for your inflated expectations. 250 00:14:36,010 --> 00:14:39,310 Well, if you didn't think you could help me, why did you let me come back again 251 00:14:39,310 --> 00:14:42,910 and again and again? I thought I could help you, Francis. 252 00:14:43,690 --> 00:14:45,230 I thought we were nearing a breakthrough. 253 00:14:45,590 --> 00:14:49,070 I don't believe you. I think all you were thinking about is the thousands of 254 00:14:49,070 --> 00:14:53,550 dollars I was paying you. Careful, Francis. I'm hearing that pinched nasal 255 00:14:53,550 --> 00:14:56,710 you get when you strain yourself. You're trying to intimidate me, something 256 00:14:56,710 --> 00:15:01,350 you've been rather successful at in the past. In fact, I think I'll throw in for 257 00:15:01,350 --> 00:15:04,050 additional damages based on emotional distress. 258 00:15:04,390 --> 00:15:08,690 Mr. Pencava, that claim is as frivolous as all the others you've made, and I 259 00:15:08,690 --> 00:15:09,690 must warn you. 260 00:15:09,770 --> 00:15:14,910 You could be liable for court costs and legal fees if you insist on pursuing it. 261 00:15:15,030 --> 00:15:19,610 Ah, so that's your strategy, is it? The big boys with the big voices gang up on 262 00:15:19,610 --> 00:15:23,610 the little boys with the little voices. That's it. I will not subject myself to 263 00:15:23,610 --> 00:15:24,610 this any longer. 264 00:15:24,690 --> 00:15:29,370 You want the truth, Francis. The truth is you have exactly the voice that you 265 00:15:29,370 --> 00:15:34,570 deserve, the voice of a pusillanimous, embittered man, and I cannot bear to 266 00:15:34,570 --> 00:15:36,090 listen to it one second longer. 267 00:15:44,430 --> 00:15:47,710 You are the complainant in this action. Is that right, Ms. Sagan? 268 00:15:48,010 --> 00:15:48,829 That's right. 269 00:15:48,830 --> 00:15:49,890 And what is your occupation? 270 00:15:50,430 --> 00:15:51,430 I'm a prostitute. 271 00:15:52,910 --> 00:15:55,770 Are you acquainted with the defendant, Rick Turner? 272 00:15:56,050 --> 00:15:58,390 He was a regular customer of mine for about a year. 273 00:15:58,730 --> 00:16:02,690 We had a date at least once a week. How much did Mr. Turner pay you for those 274 00:16:02,690 --> 00:16:04,430 dates? A thousand dollars a session. 275 00:16:05,930 --> 00:16:10,270 Would you describe for the court what happened during these sessions with Mr. 276 00:16:10,470 --> 00:16:12,350 Turner? Rick got off on verbal abuse. 277 00:16:13,180 --> 00:16:16,580 On our first date, he told me exactly what he wanted, and that's how we did it 278 00:16:16,580 --> 00:16:17,239 every time. 279 00:16:17,240 --> 00:16:19,120 What did Mr. Turner tell you he wanted? 280 00:16:19,340 --> 00:16:23,240 I was supposed to fix him a drink, get undressed, and tell him how much I 281 00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:27,260 to have sex with him. Once I was completely naked, he'd start to berate 282 00:16:27,940 --> 00:16:32,320 He'd ask how a sweet, innocent little girl got to be a prostitute. He'd ask me 283 00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:36,240 how I could face my family, what my parents would think if they could see 284 00:16:36,440 --> 00:16:38,000 And how were you supposed to respond? 285 00:16:38,460 --> 00:16:39,480 I was supposed to cry. 286 00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:45,200 He couldn't get an erection until I started crying, so I pretended to cry. 287 00:16:46,360 --> 00:16:47,960 Sometimes I didn't have to pretend. 288 00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:52,300 Then we'd have intercourse, and he'd leave. 289 00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:57,220 What happened on June the 6th, Miss Sagan? He arrived at my apartment, and I 290 00:16:57,220 --> 00:16:59,260 told him I didn't want him as a client anymore. 291 00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:03,180 I told him that after a date with him, I was depressed for days. 292 00:17:03,640 --> 00:17:06,160 I said it wasn't worth it, and I asked him to leave. 293 00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:07,199 Did he? 294 00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:11,140 No. He started yelling obscenities at me and getting all red in the face. 295 00:17:12,280 --> 00:17:16,760 He slapped me, and then he grabbed me around the throat and he slammed my head 296 00:17:16,760 --> 00:17:17,760 against the wall. 297 00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:23,619 Once I stopped struggling, he tore off my clothes and he raped me. 298 00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:26,880 Thank you, Ms. Hagen. I have no further questions. 299 00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:32,120 Ms. Hagen, have you ever enacted a rape fantasy for one of your clients? 300 00:17:32,660 --> 00:17:33,660 Yes. 301 00:17:33,710 --> 00:17:37,550 Did you ever do it for Mr. Turner? No, that's not what he was into. 302 00:17:37,770 --> 00:17:40,930 Did you ever discuss enacting a rape fantasy with Mr. Turner? 303 00:17:41,710 --> 00:17:42,710 Yes. 304 00:17:42,810 --> 00:17:45,130 Would you tell us under what circumstances you did so? 305 00:17:45,390 --> 00:17:47,470 He wanted to know what I did with other clients. 306 00:17:47,790 --> 00:17:52,110 He liked to use specific things when he rebuked me. How would you describe the 307 00:17:52,110 --> 00:17:54,230 consensual sex you had with Mr. Turner? 308 00:17:54,470 --> 00:17:56,750 Exactly what did you want to know, Mr. DiStefano? 309 00:17:56,950 --> 00:17:58,810 Well, was he gentle? 310 00:17:59,310 --> 00:18:00,370 No. Rough? 311 00:18:01,180 --> 00:18:05,200 The only time he got rough was the day he raped me. Have you ever sustained any 312 00:18:05,200 --> 00:18:07,360 physical injuries in your line of work, Miss Hagen? 313 00:18:08,280 --> 00:18:11,720 I've had a few bruises. Did you ever have to go to the hospital before? 314 00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:14,000 Once. What were the circumstances? 315 00:18:14,520 --> 00:18:17,780 The guy broke my finger. Did you charge him with rape? He didn't rape me. 316 00:18:18,170 --> 00:18:21,850 He wasn't forcing me to do something I told him I didn't want to do. Did he 317 00:18:21,850 --> 00:18:23,350 pockets as deep as Rick Turner? 318 00:18:23,950 --> 00:18:27,530 Objection. Sustained. Miss Hagen, did you or did you not file a civil suit 319 00:18:27,530 --> 00:18:32,070 against my client claiming $1 .5 million in damages on the same day that you 320 00:18:32,070 --> 00:18:35,150 went to the police and charged him with rape? Yes, I did. And did anyone advise 321 00:18:35,150 --> 00:18:38,610 you that winning a criminal conviction against Mr. Turner would greatly 322 00:18:38,610 --> 00:18:42,170 your chances of winning big in a civil suit? Rick Turner treated me like I 323 00:18:42,170 --> 00:18:46,990 wasn't even human. He hit me with his fist. He choked me. He raped me. 324 00:18:47,440 --> 00:18:48,419 Like it was nothing. 325 00:18:48,420 --> 00:18:50,000 But for a million and a half, you're even. 326 00:18:50,260 --> 00:18:54,180 Objection. Sustained. You think that's a good deal, Mr. DiStefano? Is it fair to 327 00:18:54,180 --> 00:19:00,480 say that if for some reason you became tired of selling your body, that $1 .5 328 00:19:00,480 --> 00:19:02,740 million would pretty much let you retire? 329 00:19:02,980 --> 00:19:04,240 I don't sell my body. 330 00:19:04,820 --> 00:19:05,880 I sell sex. 331 00:19:06,460 --> 00:19:08,820 I choose who I have sex with. 332 00:19:09,580 --> 00:19:11,780 In that regard, I'm like anyone else in this room. 333 00:19:36,939 --> 00:19:38,560 Hello. How was the first day? 334 00:19:39,340 --> 00:19:40,520 I think it went pretty well. 335 00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:42,240 I'm glad. 336 00:19:45,880 --> 00:19:48,860 I was on my way to study. I guess I'd better get back to it. 337 00:19:57,580 --> 00:19:58,580 I'll see you later. 338 00:20:18,920 --> 00:20:19,920 Eli? 339 00:20:21,700 --> 00:20:22,700 Surprise. 340 00:20:23,720 --> 00:20:24,720 Audrey. 341 00:20:25,800 --> 00:20:26,800 My God. 342 00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:29,020 What are you doing here? 343 00:20:29,800 --> 00:20:30,880 Hello to you, too. 344 00:20:32,580 --> 00:20:33,800 Did I know you were coming? 345 00:20:34,560 --> 00:20:35,560 No. 346 00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:38,560 How did you get here? 347 00:20:39,060 --> 00:20:40,060 How do you think? 348 00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:41,400 I flew. 349 00:20:41,820 --> 00:20:43,240 But you hate to fly. 350 00:20:43,580 --> 00:20:47,200 I know. I hated missing you more. 351 00:20:48,590 --> 00:20:52,550 Actually, I was fine, except for takeoff and landing. 352 00:20:53,990 --> 00:20:58,590 I have a meeting with Tom Chino about supplying some of the produce for my 353 00:20:58,590 --> 00:21:01,170 restaurant, and I thought I would surprise you. 354 00:21:02,950 --> 00:21:05,810 Aren't you happy to see me? Of course I'm happy to see you. 355 00:21:06,370 --> 00:21:07,370 I'm just surprised. 356 00:21:08,050 --> 00:21:09,130 Is this a bad time? 357 00:21:09,350 --> 00:21:13,150 No, no, it's not a bad time. It's kind of a bad time. I'm kind of in the middle 358 00:21:13,150 --> 00:21:14,150 of taking the bar. 359 00:21:14,410 --> 00:21:15,410 Oh. 360 00:21:15,530 --> 00:21:16,550 Well, we could... 361 00:21:16,840 --> 00:21:20,120 see each other at night. I have to study at night, Audrey. I have to prepare. 362 00:21:21,800 --> 00:21:27,580 Well, I'm going to be pretty busy myself looking at little pink turnips all day, 363 00:21:27,680 --> 00:21:34,480 but I thought maybe we could still have a little time for each other. 364 00:21:41,900 --> 00:21:42,900 Couldn't we? 365 00:21:43,420 --> 00:21:46,120 Yes. I still think about you, Eli. 366 00:21:48,690 --> 00:21:52,830 Sometimes I just lie in bed and I can't stop thinking about you. 367 00:22:24,510 --> 00:22:26,150 Oh, Mr. McKenzie, just a minute. 368 00:22:27,170 --> 00:22:31,290 What is it, Mr. Pencarver? I'd like to schedule another deposition for later 369 00:22:31,290 --> 00:22:35,310 today. And who is it you want to depose now? You, Mr. McKenzie. 370 00:22:36,370 --> 00:22:41,750 Mr. Pencarver, what possible relevance could my testimony have to your case? 371 00:22:41,990 --> 00:22:45,030 I think you've been taking vocal lessons at Mr. Emmerich's academy. 372 00:22:45,850 --> 00:22:51,830 I assure you I have not. But supposing I have, so what? So, then I'm entitled to 373 00:22:51,830 --> 00:22:52,830 subpoena you. 374 00:22:53,060 --> 00:22:59,580 Mr. Pencava, I will not make myself available to be deposed by you unless I 375 00:22:59,580 --> 00:23:04,260 compelled to by proper notice and proper subpoena. Good day. Where can I get a 376 00:23:04,260 --> 00:23:05,940 proper subpoena? Ask the court clerk. 377 00:23:06,160 --> 00:23:10,700 Don't think I won't. The surly surgeon flirted with the pert nurse last 378 00:23:10,700 --> 00:23:15,220 Thursday. The harried aristocrat danced acrobatically with the daughter of the 379 00:23:15,220 --> 00:23:16,220 Arab ambassador. 380 00:23:16,620 --> 00:23:17,620 Oh, no. 381 00:23:17,920 --> 00:23:20,240 Don't tell me he sunk his talons into you, too. 382 00:23:20,440 --> 00:23:21,660 Who? Arthur Emmerich. 383 00:23:22,430 --> 00:23:24,030 Hey, he hasn't sunken anything into me. 384 00:23:24,270 --> 00:23:26,350 That man will prey on your insecurities. 385 00:23:26,570 --> 00:23:30,150 He will build you up with a lot of false promises, and then he'll devour your 386 00:23:30,150 --> 00:23:32,890 soul. I guess you take him a little more seriously than I do. 387 00:23:33,150 --> 00:23:34,230 Well, why are you taking his course? 388 00:23:34,650 --> 00:23:36,570 Well, I don't know. Maybe I'll do Shakespeare someday. 389 00:23:36,950 --> 00:23:38,250 Why are you taking his course? 390 00:23:38,570 --> 00:23:39,570 Isn't it obvious? 391 00:23:39,610 --> 00:23:40,770 What do you mean? I mean my voice. 392 00:23:41,110 --> 00:23:42,890 Isn't it obvious why I want to change my voice? 393 00:23:43,110 --> 00:23:45,990 No. Well, Mr. Emmerich would certainly think it was obvious. 394 00:23:46,270 --> 00:23:49,130 He'd say my voice is the reason why I never got anywhere in life. 395 00:23:49,350 --> 00:23:50,350 And you believe that? 396 00:23:50,490 --> 00:23:51,490 Well, yes, I do. 397 00:23:51,720 --> 00:23:54,680 I was never successful in business, and I certainly was never successful with 398 00:23:54,680 --> 00:23:57,100 women. I mean, women aren't drawn to me at all. 399 00:23:57,500 --> 00:24:00,940 Mr. Emmerich said he'd fix all that. Look, I don't know about being 400 00:24:00,940 --> 00:24:03,420 in business or what Mr. Emmerich has to say. 401 00:24:03,680 --> 00:24:07,540 And as far as women being drawn to you, you know, I've always based my decision 402 00:24:07,540 --> 00:24:09,580 on what men have to say rather than on how they sound. 403 00:24:10,080 --> 00:24:13,660 But, you know, that's just me. I was married to a woman that felt the same 404 00:24:13,860 --> 00:24:14,439 Oh, yeah? 405 00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:15,440 And she passed away. 406 00:24:15,560 --> 00:24:16,620 Oh, I'm sorry. 407 00:24:16,960 --> 00:24:19,520 Thanks. She was my first and only girl. 408 00:24:20,600 --> 00:24:24,440 Hey, you know, not for nothing, but I don't think it's your voice that's the 409 00:24:24,440 --> 00:24:26,720 problem. I mean, despite what Mr. Emmerich has to say. 410 00:24:26,980 --> 00:24:30,180 I sense that you're a very kind and compassionate person. 411 00:24:30,400 --> 00:24:32,240 Would you mind very much if I subpoenaed you? 412 00:24:32,580 --> 00:24:33,439 Not at all. 413 00:24:33,440 --> 00:24:34,440 Thank you. 414 00:24:36,080 --> 00:24:40,540 Could you tell us, Mr. Turner, why it is that you frequent prostitutes? 415 00:24:40,820 --> 00:24:42,020 Well, because I know myself. 416 00:24:42,520 --> 00:24:46,080 Because, as Amanda indicated, I have some fairly exotic sexual needs. 417 00:24:46,460 --> 00:24:49,280 I try not to pass judgment on those, but I don't think it's right to indulge 418 00:24:49,280 --> 00:24:50,780 them with unwilling or innocent partners. 419 00:24:51,060 --> 00:24:54,060 Would you describe what your arrangement was with Amanda? 420 00:24:54,380 --> 00:24:57,820 I was referred to her by a friend a little over a year ago. I met with her, 421 00:24:57,820 --> 00:25:01,260 I liked her, and I told her very explicitly what I wanted from her. And 422 00:25:01,260 --> 00:25:03,480 agreed. If she hadn't, I would have gone elsewhere. 423 00:25:03,760 --> 00:25:05,500 And what about the night of June 6, 1993? 424 00:25:06,220 --> 00:25:10,100 According to Ms. Hagen's testimony, on that night, she did tell you to go 425 00:25:10,100 --> 00:25:11,220 elsewhere, and you refused. 426 00:25:11,680 --> 00:25:12,680 She's lying. 427 00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:14,980 I told her I wanted to break off the association. 428 00:25:15,580 --> 00:25:17,800 Not the other way around. And what happened when you told her that? 429 00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:21,760 She got very upset. She suggested before I terminate the relationship that we 430 00:25:21,760 --> 00:25:22,760 try something different. 431 00:25:22,920 --> 00:25:24,160 What was that something different? 432 00:25:24,480 --> 00:25:26,280 She suggested I pretend to rape her. 433 00:25:26,520 --> 00:25:28,320 And did you accommodate Miss Hagen's suggestion? 434 00:25:28,720 --> 00:25:30,800 I told her I wasn't sure that's what I wanted to do. 435 00:25:31,040 --> 00:25:35,160 What happened? She slapped me. I grabbed her wrist and she started struggling 436 00:25:35,160 --> 00:25:36,160 against me. 437 00:25:36,200 --> 00:25:39,040 Despite my ambivalence, the fantasy was engaged. 438 00:25:39,700 --> 00:25:43,040 I was actually quite startled at how hard she fought against me. 439 00:25:43,360 --> 00:25:45,940 Every time I would let go of her wrist, she would slap me again. 440 00:25:46,360 --> 00:25:48,220 Finally, I pulled her clothes off and we had sex. 441 00:25:48,700 --> 00:25:54,060 I paid her and I left. Did you at any time hit Miss Hagen in the face or knock 442 00:25:54,060 --> 00:25:55,060 her head into the wall? 443 00:25:55,120 --> 00:25:57,660 I suppose that may have happened while we were struggling, but never 444 00:25:57,660 --> 00:25:58,660 intentionally. 445 00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:01,360 And I never forced her to have sexual intercourse. 446 00:26:01,800 --> 00:26:02,800 Thank you. 447 00:26:03,680 --> 00:26:04,680 Your witness. 448 00:26:08,500 --> 00:26:12,960 Didn't it cross your mind, Mr. Turner, that Miss Hagen might have been fighting 449 00:26:12,960 --> 00:26:17,200 as fiercely as she was because you were hurting her and she wanted to get away? 450 00:26:17,460 --> 00:26:20,780 I know prostitutes, Mr. Mullaney. I know when they're pretending. I know when 451 00:26:20,780 --> 00:26:21,679 they're sincere. 452 00:26:21,680 --> 00:26:25,320 Amanda Hagen did not want to get away. How many times had you been with Amanda 453 00:26:25,320 --> 00:26:28,000 Hagen prior to June 6th? I don't know. 454 00:26:28,660 --> 00:26:30,680 Forty? Fifty? A thousand dollars a throw? 455 00:26:31,140 --> 00:26:32,780 That's a significant amount of money. 456 00:26:33,080 --> 00:26:35,960 Well, we all have our vices, Mr. Mullaney. I suppose that's mine. 457 00:26:36,200 --> 00:26:39,980 Wouldn't the fact that she would say no to you after you paid her that much 458 00:26:39,980 --> 00:26:40,980 money make you mad? 459 00:26:41,200 --> 00:26:44,020 She didn't say no to me, and I didn't get mad. 460 00:26:44,300 --> 00:26:48,760 You say you don't feel right indulging your exotic sexual needs with an 461 00:26:48,760 --> 00:26:49,760 unwilling partner. 462 00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:53,060 Have you ever done that? No. Never? Never. Not even once? 463 00:26:53,300 --> 00:26:54,980 Objection. Asked and answered, Your Honor. 464 00:26:55,180 --> 00:26:58,480 Abstained. You've really got nothing to lose by sitting up there and lying, do 465 00:26:58,480 --> 00:27:00,760 you, Mr. Turner? Neither does she, Mr. Mullaney. 466 00:27:03,600 --> 00:27:05,400 Hello. Hello. 467 00:27:05,700 --> 00:27:12,040 How are you? The air in Romania remains redolent of 468 00:27:12,040 --> 00:27:18,260 persimmons. The air in Romania. How are you? 469 00:27:19,280 --> 00:27:23,040 Leland McKenzie for Mr. Emmerich. I'll let him know you're here. 470 00:27:23,800 --> 00:27:29,140 Roger and Reginald went river rafting with Aurora. 471 00:27:29,760 --> 00:27:33,340 Mr. McKenzie, thank you for coming. I'd rather you handle this than involve the 472 00:27:33,340 --> 00:27:37,000 police. We may have to involve the police. Where is he? Well, I don't know. 473 00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:40,120 been passing these out to students. He says he wants to depose everybody in the 474 00:27:40,120 --> 00:27:41,120 school. Oh, Mr. 475 00:27:41,240 --> 00:27:45,920 Fujimaru. You are hereby summoned to avail yourself for questioning at the 476 00:27:45,920 --> 00:27:46,920 and the place listed. 477 00:27:47,429 --> 00:27:50,890 Mr. Pencava, you can't subpoena the entire student body. 478 00:27:51,130 --> 00:27:54,910 Why not? I want to see if anyone else has had an experience similar to mine. 479 00:27:54,910 --> 00:27:58,330 may be talking a class action suit. Are you aware that Mr. Emmerich could have 480 00:27:58,330 --> 00:28:02,130 you arrested for trespassing? How can I be trespassing? I'm enrolled to the end 481 00:28:02,130 --> 00:28:02,849 of the semester. 482 00:28:02,850 --> 00:28:06,450 Not for the purpose of serving subpoenas. You're disturbing this man's 483 00:28:06,550 --> 00:28:08,650 and you're doing so without any legal basis. 484 00:28:08,870 --> 00:28:11,850 I strongly suggest that you desist, and desist immediately. 485 00:28:12,150 --> 00:28:13,310 I don't think I'll do that. 486 00:28:13,810 --> 00:28:15,010 I'd like to say something. 487 00:28:15,850 --> 00:28:18,450 What is it exactly that accounts for us being here? 488 00:28:18,750 --> 00:28:22,910 A sense of inferiority? A fear of being judged and found wanting? 489 00:28:23,150 --> 00:28:25,070 I know I carry that around with me. 490 00:28:25,330 --> 00:28:29,310 I have a high -pitched voice. I'm short. I don't have a full head of hair. 491 00:28:29,590 --> 00:28:33,530 Well, there isn't much I can do about my height. But as for the hair, I bought a 492 00:28:33,530 --> 00:28:37,130 toupee. As for the voice, I take lessons from Mr. Emmerich. 493 00:28:37,350 --> 00:28:41,070 But every once in a while, I think of my dear departed wife. 494 00:28:41,710 --> 00:28:46,410 I think of how utterly unimportant those things were to her. She loved me, and 495 00:28:46,410 --> 00:28:47,410 that was that. 496 00:28:47,510 --> 00:28:52,070 So my question to all of you is, whose opinion are you afraid of? 497 00:28:52,550 --> 00:28:56,710 I say if they judge you by the way you sound, they matter not. 498 00:28:56,970 --> 00:29:01,850 I say abandon all efforts and speak with whatever voice you have. 499 00:29:20,500 --> 00:29:23,800 Hello, how are you? Hello, how are you? 500 00:29:26,460 --> 00:29:27,460 Hi. 501 00:29:31,360 --> 00:29:32,860 How was the bar then? 502 00:29:33,450 --> 00:29:34,450 Tomorrow's the last day. 503 00:29:34,590 --> 00:29:38,410 What are you doing for supper? I was ordering a steak from Petrelli's. Order 504 00:29:38,410 --> 00:29:40,810 and I'll go pick them up. I can't do that, Jinx. Why not? 505 00:29:41,310 --> 00:29:42,310 We have dinner together. 506 00:29:42,610 --> 00:29:45,510 I'll have a wonderful time. We'll laugh, we'll talk, and I won't want you to 507 00:29:45,510 --> 00:29:46,510 leave. So? 508 00:29:47,410 --> 00:29:49,070 I've got to focus on this test tonight. 509 00:29:49,430 --> 00:29:52,170 I'm not drinking any coffee, I'm not chewing any co -opato gum. 510 00:29:52,490 --> 00:29:55,370 I've got to just shore up my strength and concentrate on getting through this. 511 00:30:02,510 --> 00:30:03,510 Good luck. 512 00:30:11,310 --> 00:30:13,010 Audrey. Hi, honey. 513 00:30:14,850 --> 00:30:15,850 When did you get here? 514 00:30:16,050 --> 00:30:19,610 Just a few minutes ago. I spent all day at the Chino's. The vegetables there are 515 00:30:19,610 --> 00:30:20,610 so incredible. 516 00:30:20,650 --> 00:30:24,970 They have striped tomatoes, black cabbage, like six kinds of radishes, 517 00:30:24,970 --> 00:30:26,470 kinds of turnips. It was amazing. 518 00:30:27,010 --> 00:30:28,010 Wow. 519 00:30:30,350 --> 00:30:31,630 Can we have dinner tonight? 520 00:30:32,010 --> 00:30:33,010 I can't, Audrey. 521 00:30:33,390 --> 00:30:34,390 Why not? 522 00:30:34,430 --> 00:30:37,950 If we had dinner together, I would have a wonderful time. We would laugh, we'd 523 00:30:37,950 --> 00:30:39,510 talk. I wouldn't want you to leave. 524 00:30:39,890 --> 00:30:41,170 So that would be a good thing. 525 00:30:41,970 --> 00:30:44,970 I've got to focus on the test tonight. I'm not drinking any coffee, I'm not 526 00:30:44,970 --> 00:30:46,210 chewing any coipato gum. 527 00:30:46,570 --> 00:30:49,370 I've just got to shore up my strength and concentrate on getting through this. 528 00:30:51,650 --> 00:30:52,650 Okay. 529 00:30:53,610 --> 00:30:54,610 What are you going to do? 530 00:30:55,350 --> 00:30:57,110 I'm going to go visit my friend Helena. 531 00:30:58,690 --> 00:30:59,890 I'm really sorry. 532 00:31:00,350 --> 00:31:01,350 That's okay. 533 00:31:02,090 --> 00:31:04,330 This test, you're done tomorrow, right? 534 00:31:04,610 --> 00:31:06,830 Right. Okay, I'll come and see you then. 535 00:31:07,470 --> 00:31:08,470 Bye. 536 00:31:11,450 --> 00:31:13,990 Is counsel ready to deliver closing arguments? 537 00:31:14,250 --> 00:31:17,630 The prosecution would like to call one rebuttal witness, Your Honor, Susan 538 00:31:17,630 --> 00:31:21,450 Davies. Defense strongly objects to this witness, Your Honor. Counsel, approach. 539 00:31:23,050 --> 00:31:25,210 Your Honor, this witness is not a rebuttal witness. 540 00:31:25,410 --> 00:31:28,530 She's just part of their case in chief that they've held back hoping for a 541 00:31:28,530 --> 00:31:32,170 greater impact on their miserably weak case. This witness was not willing to 542 00:31:32,170 --> 00:31:35,830 step forward until now. I think the jury's entitled to hear her. Ask that if 543 00:31:35,830 --> 00:31:38,770 this witness testifies to be away from the jury so Your Honor can determine 544 00:31:38,770 --> 00:31:41,710 whether the probative value outweighs the prejudicial. Mr. 545 00:31:41,930 --> 00:31:46,450 DiStefano, if either a question or an answer appears inadmissible, according 546 00:31:46,450 --> 00:31:50,070 your interpretation of the rules of evidence, make an objection and I'll 547 00:31:50,070 --> 00:31:51,070 it. 548 00:31:51,120 --> 00:31:52,580 Call your witness, Mr. Mulaney. 549 00:31:55,420 --> 00:31:58,520 Ms. Davies, how do you know the defendant? 550 00:31:58,980 --> 00:32:02,060 I was his secretary at Stiefel Records for about a year. 551 00:32:02,320 --> 00:32:04,640 Would you describe that relationship to the court? 552 00:32:05,240 --> 00:32:07,700 For the first few months, it was pretty standard stuff. 553 00:32:08,300 --> 00:32:10,740 Answering the phones, typing letters, taking dictation. 554 00:32:10,980 --> 00:32:11,980 How did that change? 555 00:32:12,420 --> 00:32:13,500 It was kind of gradual. 556 00:32:14,080 --> 00:32:18,160 At first, he'd tease me about my boyfriend, ask me where we went. 557 00:32:18,970 --> 00:32:20,530 how serious we were getting. 558 00:32:21,910 --> 00:32:26,310 Then he wanted to know details about my sex life, and he got very graphic about 559 00:32:26,310 --> 00:32:27,209 his sex life. 560 00:32:27,210 --> 00:32:28,210 Objection, relevance. 561 00:32:28,450 --> 00:32:31,930 Your Honor, I would respectfully submit that the defendant's sexual history is 562 00:32:31,930 --> 00:32:33,530 at least as relevant as the victim's. 563 00:32:33,910 --> 00:32:36,730 Agreed. Objection overruled. Did he get physical with you? 564 00:32:37,230 --> 00:32:38,230 He'd grab me. 565 00:32:39,010 --> 00:32:40,430 He'd rub up against me. 566 00:32:41,410 --> 00:32:45,930 He'd make this whole display of looking down my blouse or up my skirt. 567 00:32:46,520 --> 00:32:51,320 One of the last things I remember him doing was coming out of his office and 568 00:32:51,320 --> 00:32:52,880 masturbating on my desk. 569 00:32:53,140 --> 00:32:56,660 Oh, like you had nothing to do with that? Mr. Turner. Like you didn't play 570 00:32:56,660 --> 00:33:00,220 little coquette?

Why did you continue working for him, Ms. Davies? He 573 00:33:06,500 --> 00:33:09,660 promising to introduce me to important people who could help my career. 574 00:33:10,400 --> 00:33:11,880 Finally, that wasn't a good enough reason. 575 00:33:12,860 --> 00:33:15,680 I went into his office and told him I didn't want to work for him anymore. 576 00:33:16,190 --> 00:33:17,470 What happened when you did that? 577 00:33:17,690 --> 00:33:22,070 He started yelling, telling me all the things he thought were wrong with me. 578 00:33:23,070 --> 00:33:26,290 My clothes, my voice, the way I smelled. 579 00:33:26,790 --> 00:33:30,650 Then he shoved me onto the couch and pinned my hands behind my back. 580 00:33:32,970 --> 00:33:38,470 He started unzipping his pants and shoving, putting, pushing his knee up 581 00:33:38,470 --> 00:33:39,470 my skirt. 582 00:33:41,610 --> 00:33:42,810 He tore my skirt. 583 00:33:45,060 --> 00:33:46,740 What happened then, Miss Davies? 584 00:33:47,360 --> 00:33:48,500 Someone knocked at the door. 585 00:33:52,160 --> 00:33:55,020 It was almost like he came out of a trance. 586 00:33:55,960 --> 00:34:00,060 He told the person to go away, and then he just got up and went into his 587 00:34:00,060 --> 00:34:01,060 bathroom. 588 00:34:01,440 --> 00:34:04,520 And... And I just ran out. 589 00:34:06,700 --> 00:34:09,560 If that person had knocked, I'm sure he would have raped me. 590 00:34:09,880 --> 00:34:13,260 Objection. Speculation, Your Honor. Sustain. The jury will disregard the 591 00:34:13,260 --> 00:34:15,699 witness's last comment. I have no further questions. 592 00:34:17,139 --> 00:34:20,199 Were there any witnesses to these alleged incidents, Miss Davies? 593 00:34:21,600 --> 00:34:25,520 No. Did you ever press assault or sexual harassment charges against Mr. Turner? 594 00:34:25,639 --> 00:34:28,860 Mr. Turner made it quite clear to me that if I did, I could forget about a 595 00:34:28,860 --> 00:34:30,000 career in the recording industry. 596 00:34:30,360 --> 00:34:33,159 So you kept right on working for him even after all this? 597 00:34:34,510 --> 00:34:36,190 I transferred to record promotions. 598 00:34:37,170 --> 00:34:41,770 Been over a year since all these alleged incidents took place, Miss Davies. 599 00:34:42,370 --> 00:34:43,710 Why come forward now? 600 00:34:43,969 --> 00:34:47,469 When I heard he actually raped someone, I couldn't keep quiet. 601 00:34:47,870 --> 00:34:52,330 Maybe if I had reported him or brought charges against him before, this 602 00:34:52,330 --> 00:34:54,969 have happened. So your coming here today wouldn't have anything to do with the 603 00:34:54,969 --> 00:34:58,450 fact that Mr. Turner rejected your request for a promotion to a better 604 00:34:58,450 --> 00:34:59,630 at Artisan Repertoire? 605 00:35:00,390 --> 00:35:01,390 No, it would not. 606 00:35:02,970 --> 00:35:03,970 Thank you. 607 00:35:04,400 --> 00:35:05,440 No further questions 608 00:35:05,440 --> 00:35:12,320 What 609 00:35:12,320 --> 00:35:19,220 we have here ladies and gentlemen is a 610 00:35:19,220 --> 00:35:25,460 conflict in testimony Amanda Hagen says Rick Turner raped her 611 00:35:25,460 --> 00:35:28,880 Rick Turner says they had consensual sex 612 00:35:30,030 --> 00:35:33,750 Just like they have been having consensual sex for a year preceding the 613 00:35:33,750 --> 00:35:34,750 encounter and question. 614 00:35:36,930 --> 00:35:38,250 So who are you going to believe? 615 00:35:40,170 --> 00:35:43,910 Rick Turner is a respectable and very successful businessman. 616 00:35:44,290 --> 00:35:47,530 He readily admits to having unusual sexual habits. 617 00:35:47,770 --> 00:35:52,310 He also admits he goes to prostitutes. But if he wasn't getting what he wanted 618 00:35:52,310 --> 00:35:55,170 from one prostitute, he went on to the next. 619 00:35:55,450 --> 00:35:58,610 He didn't beat them up and rape them. 620 00:35:59,180 --> 00:36:04,760 Now, Amanda Hagen, on the other hand, lies for a living. She earns her money 621 00:36:04,760 --> 00:36:09,320 faking pleasure, by telling men whatever she has to in order to make them come 622 00:36:09,320 --> 00:36:10,560 back for another session. 623 00:36:10,800 --> 00:36:15,620 So today, she comes into this courtroom and decides to lie a little more by 624 00:36:15,620 --> 00:36:21,060 accusing a wealthy client of rape and going after a big payday in civil court. 625 00:36:21,360 --> 00:36:27,740 Ladies and gentlemen, in order to convict Rick Turner, you have to 626 00:36:28,010 --> 00:36:34,010 beyond a reasonable doubt that what happened between he and Amanda Hagen was 627 00:36:34,010 --> 00:36:39,670 consensual. You will thus be sending a man to prison on this woman's word and 628 00:36:39,670 --> 00:36:41,050 her word alone. 629 00:36:41,710 --> 00:36:45,950 I ask that you search your hearts fully before you do such a thing. 630 00:36:52,990 --> 00:36:55,870 Is it possible to rape a woman? 631 00:36:56,300 --> 00:36:58,160 who sells her body for sex. 632 00:36:59,860 --> 00:37:06,220 Well, if you put your car up for sale and someone forcibly takes it from you, 633 00:37:06,460 --> 00:37:11,860 that's theft. In the same way that raping a prostitute is rape. 634 00:37:12,620 --> 00:37:19,120 The critical issue, the only issue, is consent. Did Amanda 635 00:37:19,120 --> 00:37:23,700 Hagen consent to having sexual intercourse with Rick Turner? 636 00:37:24,230 --> 00:37:26,370 Did she consent to him hitting her? 637 00:37:26,730 --> 00:37:29,570 To his ramming her head into a wall? 638 00:37:30,930 --> 00:37:32,430 The answer is no. 639 00:37:33,410 --> 00:37:35,630 She said no. 640 00:37:37,110 --> 00:37:40,910 And she said it to a man who wouldn't take no for an answer. 641 00:37:43,430 --> 00:37:47,870 I suspect that in his heart of hearts, Rick Turner doesn't believe that what he 642 00:37:47,870 --> 00:37:50,070 did was a crime any more than... 643 00:37:50,680 --> 00:37:55,880 Running over a small animal in the road is a crime, or kicking a dog. 644 00:37:56,320 --> 00:38:01,800 It's your job, ladies and gentlemen, to let him know that the rape of a 645 00:38:01,800 --> 00:38:07,800 prostitute is indeed a crime, that it's a crime of the same magnitude as the 646 00:38:07,800 --> 00:38:12,200 rape of a schoolteacher or a waitress or a nun. 647 00:38:12,440 --> 00:38:17,960 The state of California asks you to recognize what happened to Amanda Hagen 648 00:38:17,960 --> 00:38:18,960 what it was. 649 00:38:20,020 --> 00:38:22,180 And that you punish the man responsible. 650 00:38:31,800 --> 00:38:33,080 Well, what do we have here? 651 00:38:33,320 --> 00:38:34,360 Good afternoon, gentlemen. 652 00:38:34,600 --> 00:38:35,339 Good afternoon. 653 00:38:35,340 --> 00:38:39,340 Leland McKenzie, this is Valerie Briggs.

In an attempt 663 00:39:08,910 --> 00:39:13,250 to reconcile with you, Mr. Emmerich would like to offer one year's worth of 664 00:39:13,250 --> 00:39:14,990 -on -one training absolutely free. 665 00:39:15,190 --> 00:39:17,190 Oh, why would I put myself through that again? 666 00:39:17,580 --> 00:39:18,940 The humiliation, the failure. 667 00:39:19,160 --> 00:39:24,120 Because during your oratory yesterday, I detected a distinct improvement in 668 00:39:24,120 --> 00:39:27,920 tonal quality, Francis. You were actually resonating. 669 00:39:28,160 --> 00:39:31,660 I was? Oh, yes, indeed. I heard nuance, I heard color. 670 00:39:32,080 --> 00:39:34,660 I believe we experienced our breakthrough. 671 00:39:35,020 --> 00:39:39,960 Wow! This isn't a trick, is it?

All I care is that it's over. 692 00:40:39,620 --> 00:40:43,380 The world, with all its infinite glories, is once again open before me. I 693 00:40:43,380 --> 00:40:46,500 take a walk, eat in a restaurant, enjoy the company of a beautiful woman. 694 00:40:47,370 --> 00:40:48,610 Which one were you referring to? 695 00:40:49,070 --> 00:40:50,690 Jink or Audrey? 696 00:40:50,990 --> 00:40:54,110 It's amazing, isn't it? I've always had enough difficulty getting one woman to 697 00:40:54,110 --> 00:40:56,350 go out with me. All of a sudden, I have a surfeit of riches. 698 00:40:57,370 --> 00:40:58,530 Oh, my God. 699 00:41:04,410 --> 00:41:05,410 Hello, Eli. 700 00:41:16,170 --> 00:41:17,390 Was I supposed to meet you here? 701 00:41:17,590 --> 00:41:20,570 I knew you'd be done with the bar, so I came by. 702 00:41:20,810 --> 00:41:22,710 I was waiting when she arrived. 703 00:41:23,110 --> 00:41:26,190 Audrey explained that the two of you had made plans. 704 00:41:26,570 --> 00:41:28,630 So we decided to wait for you together. 705 00:41:29,230 --> 00:41:31,870 You decided to wait for me together. 706 00:41:34,530 --> 00:41:36,930 So, now you're both mad at me? 707 00:41:37,170 --> 00:41:40,750 You weren't honest, Eli. You weren't honest with me and you weren't honest 708 00:41:40,750 --> 00:41:43,070 her. You told me that you weren't involved with anyone. 709 00:41:43,370 --> 00:41:44,730 And you didn't tell me anything. 710 00:41:45,260 --> 00:41:47,080 How about I didn't want to hurt anybody's feelings? 711 00:41:47,580 --> 00:41:49,420 How about my life has been in a state of flux? 712 00:41:49,760 --> 00:41:51,720 I changed homes, I changed jobs. 713 00:41:52,320 --> 00:41:55,600 It's not unreasonable to think that significant relationships will also 714 00:41:56,040 --> 00:41:57,320 Does that mean you want them to? 715 00:41:58,880 --> 00:41:59,880 I don't know. 716 00:42:01,260 --> 00:42:03,840 I don't know what I want. What I do know is that I've been under a lot of 717 00:42:03,840 --> 00:42:07,400 pressure. I just finished an incredibly grueling few days which paid off in the 718 00:42:07,400 --> 00:42:09,600 fact that I believe I aced the California bar exam. 719 00:42:10,160 --> 00:42:13,780 which happens to be one of the most difficult in the entire country.
