you'd be with him at the Savoy,where he conducted all his business.
358
00:26:21,887 --> 00:26:24,457
As an assistant, you had to go
and get him up in the morning,
359
00:26:24,457 --> 00:26:27,626
which meant there'd usually be
a tussle at the bedside.
360
00:26:27,626 --> 00:26:29,195
Um, you know, he showered.
361
00:26:29,195 --> 00:26:32,798
He expected you to go...
be around when he was naked.
362
00:26:32,798 --> 00:26:35,968
He very quickly tried to normalize
the situation
363
00:26:35,968 --> 00:26:38,670
and just told me I had to get with it
and not be such a prissy,

about my delicate feelings.

was an absolute admission of guilt

00:47:40,399 --> 00:47:43,669
Many people who have goneto work in the movie industry
677
00:47:43,669 --> 00:47:46,238
are drawn there by this kind of fantasy.
678
00:47:49,542 --> 00:47:52,945
And Harvey was, like, the path to that.
679
00:47:52,945 --> 00:47:55,815
Miramax was sort of "it"and Harvey was the guy
680
00:47:55,815 --> 00:47:57,717
that was kind of making things happen.
681
00:47:57,717 --> 00:48:02,921
The opportunities for actors to do
great roles, big or small, were there.
682
00:48:02,921 --> 00:48:07,059
What could be more excitingas a young actor?
683
00:48:07,059 --> 00:48:09,228
It was an exciting time, yeah.
684
00:48:10,797 --> 00:48:12,799
♪
685
00:48:17,369 --> 00:48:21,273
‐ Hi. Paz. Nice to meet you.
686
00:48:24,577 --> 00:48:28,781
I always imagined,like plenty of people in this industry,
687
00:48:28,781 --> 00:48:33,218
that actresses slept with Harveybecause it was good for their career,
688
00:48:33,218 --> 00:48:35,354
not because they wantedto jump in bed with him
689
00:48:35,354 --> 00:48:38,023
because they were in love with him.
690
00:48:38,023 --> 00:48:41,293
I just assumed many actresses did that.
691
00:48:44,396 --> 00:48:47,966
I don't know, uh, it's just not odd to me.
692
00:48:50,670 --> 00:48:53,272
There's no question that Harveyexuded a certain power.
693
00:48:53,272 --> 00:48:59,411
Any powerful man in any city,yeah, women were just part of the thing.
694
00:48:59,411 --> 00:49:04,183
They come along with the power,they're attracted to the power.
695
00:49:04,183 --> 00:49:06,719
It's like putting a light on your porch,
you're gonna get a lot of moths.
696
00:49:10,790 --> 00:49:13,793
I was born with a hereditary eye disease.
697
00:49:13,793 --> 00:49:17,296
I don't see anything up, downor to the sides,
698
00:49:17,296 --> 00:49:19,465
and it comes with total night blindness.
699
00:49:19,465 --> 00:49:23,703
So I've worked really hard
not to ever look blind or act blind.
700
00:49:26,038 --> 00:49:30,576
I had gotten an audition,was going in to read for a part.
701
00:49:31,610 --> 00:49:33,145
He handed me the script and he said,
702
00:49:33,145 --> 00:49:35,113
"Do you think you can read
those four pages for me?"
703
00:49:35,113 --> 00:49:37,516
And I said,
"Yes, yes, I would be happy to."
704
00:49:38,551 --> 00:49:40,573
Here was I, meeting one of
705
00:49:40,573 --> 00:49:42,922
the most powerful men in Hollywood.
706
00:49:42,922 --> 00:49:45,224
I felt very flattered,
707
00:49:45,224 --> 00:49:48,694
understanding that this was a privilege.
708
00:49:49,595 --> 00:49:54,333
‐ I was intimidated by him and his power.
709
00:49:54,333 --> 00:49:58,136
I mean, he's a repulsive man, physically,
710
00:49:58,136 --> 00:50:02,708
but I saw all these other actresseshanging around him,
711
00:50:02,708 --> 00:50:06,545
so I felt like it was something you did.
712
00:50:07,713 --> 00:50:10,249
He asked me if I wanted a ride home,
713
00:50:11,250 --> 00:50:14,119
and I said okay.
714
00:50:17,022 --> 00:50:18,524
Harvey invited me out to dinner.
715
00:50:20,292 --> 00:50:21,861
It was a wonderful night.
716
00:50:24,697 --> 00:50:27,633
Leonardo DiCaprio was at our table.He was lovely.
717
00:50:28,667 --> 00:50:33,272
The after‐party would continueat the hotel where Harvey was staying.
718
00:50:35,942 --> 00:50:37,643
And then I was...
719
00:50:38,844 --> 00:50:41,647
It was just me in the car and that's
when I started to feel a little weird,
720
00:50:41,647 --> 00:50:45,785
like why... wouldn't I be carpooling
with somebody?
721
00:50:47,052 --> 00:50:49,989
I was going to have dinnerwith him at the Beverly Hills Hotel
722
00:50:49,989 --> 00:50:53,793
and I arrived, front desk,"I'm here to see Harvey Weinstein,
723
00:50:53,793 --> 00:50:55,728
and, um, tell him I'll bein the restaurant."
724
00:50:55,728 --> 00:51:00,766
"No, Mr. Weinstein said would you go
upstairs, he'll meet you upstairs."
725
00:51:00,766 --> 00:51:07,139
He said, "Can... I want‐‐
Can we have a drink upstairs at yours?"
726
00:51:07,139 --> 00:51:12,311
And I was too afraid to say no.
727
00:51:12,311 --> 00:51:14,380
We went up to my place
728
00:51:14,380 --> 00:51:20,319
and things got
very uncomfortable, very fast.
729
00:51:20,319 --> 00:51:24,957
‐ I was so happy because this,
all I could think of is, yes,
730
00:51:24,957 --> 00:51:26,993
this is the launching of my career.
731
00:51:26,993 --> 00:51:31,163
I am going to be working
for a huge major studio,
732
00:51:31,163 --> 00:51:34,967
a huge person in the industry,
thank you, God.
733
00:51:37,937 --> 00:51:40,673
‐ So obviously this is the part
that's very hard to talk about,
734
00:51:40,673 --> 00:51:42,341
that I haven't talked about
that much before.
735
00:51:42,341 --> 00:51:44,710
So I'll try, um...
736
00:51:44,710 --> 00:51:49,415
I felt, um, maybe like
in shock a little bit.
737
00:51:51,017 --> 00:51:56,756
Um... and then I was in a situation
that I couldn't get out of.
738
00:51:56,756 --> 00:51:58,724
‐ "Wait a minute, wait a minute,"
and he stood up.
739
00:51:58,724 --> 00:52:00,860
He said, "One‐‐ One minute, one minute.
740
00:52:00,860 --> 00:52:02,327
I need one more thing from you."
741
00:52:02,327 --> 00:52:07,066
He said, "I want to see your breasts,"
742
00:52:07,066 --> 00:52:10,036
and I said, "I'm sorry, I don't do that."
743
00:52:10,036 --> 00:52:13,205
‐ "Oh, I have a stiff neck.
744
00:52:13,205 --> 00:52:16,809
Um, would you give me
a shoulder massage?"
745
00:52:16,809 --> 00:52:20,178
‐ "I can't move my neck,"
and I said, "Oh, God, that's terrible.
746
00:52:20,178 --> 00:52:23,482
"I should get you a masseuse.
747
00:52:23,482 --> 00:52:25,350
I have a great masseuse
and I'm gonna call them."
748
00:52:25,350 --> 00:52:27,987
‐ He disappears into the bedroom.
749
00:52:27,987 --> 00:52:31,023
‐ He goes, "No, no, no, no, Rosanna."
750
00:52:31,023 --> 00:52:35,461
And he took my hand,
and‐and like he grabbed my hand,
751
00:52:35,461 --> 00:52:39,465
and he had an erection, and I went "fuck."
752
00:52:39,465 --> 00:52:41,067
Um... backed up
753
00:52:41,067 --> 00:52:45,370
and... and he goes, "Rosanna,
you're making a very big mistake."
754
00:52:45,370 --> 00:52:50,242
‐ "It's your breasts.
Do you know who I am?"
755
00:52:50,242 --> 00:52:53,012
And I said, "Yeah."
756
00:52:53,012 --> 00:52:55,614
And he said, "Do you know who I am?"
757
00:52:55,614 --> 00:52:58,751
‐ I did the worst massage ever,
758
00:52:58,751 --> 00:53:03,355
and I could see that my massage
759
00:53:03,355 --> 00:53:07,459
had actually had more effect
than I would have expected.
760
00:53:07,459 --> 00:53:11,959
That was when my
survival instincts kicked in
761
00:53:11,959 --> 00:53:13,499
and I got the heck out of there.
762
00:53:13,499 --> 00:53:17,736
‐ He said, "You know, I can make
your career or I can break your career.
763
00:53:17,736 --> 00:53:21,607
I can make it where you will never work
in this business again."
764
00:53:21,607 --> 00:53:25,210
And he said, "So show me your breasts."
765
00:53:25,210 --> 00:53:27,346
And I said, "No, I don't do that."
766
00:53:27,346 --> 00:53:29,982
And then he says, "The building's locked.
767
00:53:29,982 --> 00:53:32,118
"You can't get out that way.
768
00:53:32,118 --> 00:53:34,987
You can't get out at all
unless you go down there."
769
00:53:34,987 --> 00:53:39,291
And he pointed past him
at the end of the hall,
770
00:53:39,291 --> 00:53:42,195
which was a door, a stairwell door.
771
00:53:42,195 --> 00:53:43,863
♪
772
00:53:46,398 --> 00:53:48,701
I don't know if anybodyis going to answer the door.
773
00:53:48,701 --> 00:53:52,404
I don't know if he'sgonna come in looking for me.
774
00:53:52,404 --> 00:53:55,340
He knows that I havetotal night blindness.
775
00:53:55,340 --> 00:53:58,044
So he knew when I went down
that stair,
776
00:53:58,044 --> 00:54:01,214
it was totally black, totally, totally,
totally black.
777
00:54:02,648 --> 00:54:06,219
He... He pulled my dress up,
778
00:54:06,219 --> 00:54:09,521
and I was just terrified.
779
00:54:12,591 --> 00:54:14,894
I didn't kick and scream.
780
00:54:16,195 --> 00:54:20,499
The freeze thing kicks in,like you just want it to be over,
781
00:54:20,499 --> 00:54:22,902
and you don't want to be...
782
00:54:26,872 --> 00:54:30,176
You're‐‐ You're worried
you're gonna get hurt, you know?
783
00:54:32,277 --> 00:54:36,348
‐ When you read about rape,
you read, "Okay, well,
784
00:54:36,348 --> 00:54:42,721
the girl says‐‐ screams 'No!'
and she kicks and screams and..."
785
00:54:42,721 --> 00:54:44,957
But that's not exactly right.
786
00:54:44,957 --> 00:54:50,429
The way in which he overpowered me
787
00:54:51,597 --> 00:54:54,066
left me no way out.
788
00:54:56,301 --> 00:54:58,938
Um, so...
789
00:54:58,938 --> 00:55:02,641
So Harvey performed oral sex on me,
790
00:55:02,641 --> 00:55:06,512
um... forcibly...
791
00:55:09,182 --> 00:55:10,208
um...
792
00:55:12,384 --> 00:55:14,987
or... without my consent,
793
00:55:14,987 --> 00:55:17,589
um, and I didn't really know what to do,
794
00:55:17,589 --> 00:55:22,828
and I was terrified
that he was going to rape me.
795
00:55:22,828 --> 00:55:25,364
I was really scared of being penetrated,
796
00:55:25,364 --> 00:55:26,632
of being... being raped,
797
00:55:26,632 --> 00:55:28,701
of having him on top of me,
798
00:55:28,701 --> 00:55:30,536
so I just froze.
799
00:55:32,437 --> 00:55:34,874
I definitely went somewhere else.
800
00:55:34,874 --> 00:55:38,911
It's almost likeI was hovering over my body,
801
00:55:38,911 --> 00:55:40,813
and this thing was happening to me.
802
00:55:40,813 --> 00:55:43,415
‐ This is happening
and then it's going to be over,
803
00:55:43,415 --> 00:55:45,551
and then it's...

00:55:45,551 --> 00:55:47,586
I'm, I'll never, never think of‐‐
805
00:55:47,586 --> 00:55:50,355
It's just, I'll cut it out of me somehow.
806
00:55:54,060 --> 00:55:58,564
And there was likea little Hispanic maintenance man,
807
00:55:58,564 --> 00:56:03,602
and first thing he asked me,
"Are you coming from the fourth floor?"
808
00:56:05,404 --> 00:56:07,940
‐ Just, you know, he‐‐
then he masturbated and...
809
00:56:10,609 --> 00:56:11,877
finished.
810
00:56:11,877 --> 00:56:17,683
‐ I knew I was going to be in trouble
because I didn't participate, I knew it.
811
00:56:17,683 --> 00:56:19,818
And then when I tried to tell people,
812
00:56:19,818 --> 00:56:21,520
they said, "You better keep
your mouth shut."
813
00:56:21,520 --> 00:56:25,224
‐ I didn't go to the police
because I was terrified
814
00:56:25,224 --> 00:56:30,429
he would destroy me,
and he would say it was consensual,
815
00:56:30,429 --> 00:56:33,599
and he would say that I was a whore
and I was lying.
816
00:56:35,634 --> 00:56:38,237
What I remember is leaving,
817
00:56:38,237 --> 00:56:41,573
and at the bottom of the staircasewere people that worked for him
818
00:56:43,109 --> 00:56:45,344
waiting to go in to see him.
819
00:56:47,813 --> 00:56:49,615
I don't know, I don't know
what they thought.
820
00:56:49,615 --> 00:56:51,016
I don't know what they knew.

♪
822
00:57:02,527 --> 00:57:04,930
I travelledwith Harvey quite frequently.
823
00:57:04,930 --> 00:57:10,970
And there was this one timewhere I made a mistake.
824
00:57:10,970 --> 00:57:16,409
He said, "You're smart enough to be me
and if you don't want to be me,
825
00:57:16,409 --> 00:57:18,043
"you're wasting your time.

'cause maybe all you're good for
is making babies."
828
00:57:29,155 --> 00:57:32,091
You're an employee,you're not in a position
829
00:57:32,091 --> 00:57:37,562
to question your boss's intentions.
830
00:57:42,568 --> 00:57:44,503
You know, I would have been fired.
831
00:57:44,503 --> 00:57:47,139
‐ When Harvey was meeting with
these women, he would send us all away,
832
00:57:47,139 --> 00:57:50,076
and we would get summoned back
long after these women were gone.
833
00:57:50,076 --> 00:57:53,812
My take on these relationships was
some sort of agreement had happened.
834
00:57:55,114 --> 00:57:57,417
There's this knockingon my hotel room door.
835
00:57:59,285 --> 00:58:03,689
There's this woman standing thereand she's shaking and she's crying.
836
00:58:03,689 --> 00:58:08,894
And, you know, so I invite her in
and I ask her what's wrong,
837
00:58:08,894 --> 00:58:12,564
and it took her a while to start talking,
838
00:58:12,564 --> 00:58:16,735
and she tells me, you know,
839
00:58:16,735 --> 00:58:21,140
that he had coerced her
into giving him a massage,
840
00:58:21,140 --> 00:58:23,542
and he didn't listen to her say no.
841
00:58:23,542 --> 00:58:25,378
You have to do something.
842
00:58:29,949 --> 00:58:33,886
So I filed a complaint that would later

run by former members of the Massad,
1178
01:19:51,664 --> 01:19:53,132
called Black Cube.
1179
01:19:58,771 --> 01:20:01,340
This is the original contract
between Black Cube
1180
01:20:01,340 --> 01:20:03,643
and Harvey Weinstein's law firm.
1181
01:20:04,510 --> 01:20:07,913
And "The primary objective of the project
is to identify the entities
1182
01:20:07,913 --> 01:20:10,516
"behind the negative campaign
against the Client
1183
01:20:10,516 --> 01:20:13,185
and support the Client's efforts
to put a stop to it."
1184
01:20:16,322 --> 01:20:18,824
This is the list of targets
drawn up by Harvey Weinstein
1185
01:20:18,824 --> 01:20:24,029
of people he suspects might be cooperating
with the negative stories about him,
1186
01:20:24,029 --> 01:20:26,932
and this is a profile drawn up
by Black Cube,
1187
01:20:26,932 --> 01:20:29,268
uh, profiling Rosanna Arquette.
1188
01:20:29,268 --> 01:20:31,970
"The Client suspects that Rosanna
is involved in the campaign
1189
01:20:31,970 --> 01:20:35,240
"being waged against him
by disseminating fictitious allegations
1190
01:20:35,240 --> 01:20:37,843
about him to media sources."
1191
01:20:37,843 --> 01:20:41,246
This wasan extraordinarily expensive operation.
1192
01:20:41,246 --> 01:20:44,149
You're talking about lawyer after lawyer
1193
01:20:44,149 --> 01:20:47,085
at the highest‐paid echelon
of the legal profession,
1194
01:20:47,085 --> 01:20:49,021
and they're hiring, in turn,
1195
01:20:49,021 --> 01:20:52,525
the priciest private investigation firms
in the world.
1196
01:20:52,525 --> 01:20:56,562
The Black Cube contracts alone
ate up hundreds of thousands of dollars.
1197
01:20:56,562 --> 01:21:01,400
Harvey Weinstein was placing
all of his resources
1198
01:21:01,400 --> 01:21:04,437
into stopping these women
and the reporters looking at the story.
1199
01:21:04,437 --> 01:21:06,439
♪
1200
01:21:10,476 --> 01:21:14,046
Harvey and his private investigatorsand lawyers expended a lot of energy
1201
01:21:14,046 --> 01:21:17,784
digging up photos of him looking friendlywith women after alleged assaults.
1202
01:21:20,519 --> 01:21:25,758
This is a particularly nasty tacticto try to discredit women,
1203
01:21:25,758 --> 01:21:31,397
when the fact is, it is a very typicalfeature of sexual assault
1204
01:21:31,397 --> 01:21:34,700
that women are photographedin a friendly context
1205
01:21:34,700 --> 01:21:37,603
with their alleged attacker afterwards.
1206
01:21:37,603 --> 01:21:41,173
Very often people bury their trauma
and they keep working
1207
01:21:41,173 --> 01:21:43,643
and they keep on walking
those red carpets.
1208
01:21:48,614 --> 01:21:51,450
You put on a happy face,
1209
01:21:51,450 --> 01:21:53,118
but inside you're dying.
1210
01:21:54,386 --> 01:21:59,525
It made me feel like I had to reclaimmy sexuality all over again.
1211
01:21:59,525 --> 01:22:06,365
So I wanted to do photo shoots
where I could feel beautiful
1212
01:22:06,365 --> 01:22:09,301
and take it back,
1213
01:22:09,301 --> 01:22:12,070
take back what I believe he stole from me.
1214
01:22:18,344 --> 01:22:21,313
Some of the other womenmight look at me and think,
1215
01:22:21,313 --> 01:22:24,082
"Something's wrong with her."
1216
01:22:24,082 --> 01:22:28,921
Like, "Harvey could usethat against her," or something.
1217
01:22:32,725 --> 01:22:37,056
I wanted to feel desirable again.
1218
01:22:37,056 --> 01:22:40,232
People knowing that this pig
had violated me,
1219
01:22:42,668 --> 01:22:47,807
that this monster had been inside me.
1220
01:22:57,516 --> 01:23:00,419
I was being told,"You still need more women,
1221
01:23:00,419 --> 01:23:03,823
these women are crazy,
you need more credible women,"
1222
01:23:03,823 --> 01:23:06,893
over and over and over again,
no matter how many women were saying
1223
01:23:06,893 --> 01:23:08,394
this had happened to them.
1224
01:23:09,729 --> 01:23:12,197
Harvey Weinstein.
1225
01:23:12,197 --> 01:23:13,215
I had to move out of my home.
1226
01:23:13,215 --> 01:23:14,533
I was being followed.
1227
01:23:14,533 --> 01:23:17,469
I had many of the same agentsthat went after these women
1228
01:23:17,469 --> 01:23:20,005
coming after me.
1229
01:23:20,005 --> 01:23:25,411
Harvey Weinstein was inundatingmy representatives with legal threats.
1230
01:23:25,411 --> 01:23:28,313
I wondered whether I would be able
to get it over the finish line
1231
01:23:28,313 --> 01:23:30,649
or whether I would let down
all of those women who had done
1232
01:23:30,649 --> 01:23:33,619
this incredibly brave thing
trying to expose this.
1233
01:23:34,854 --> 01:23:38,490
So, it was a tremendousbreakthrough moment
1234
01:23:38,490 --> 01:23:42,396
to hear Harvey Weinstein
on that NYPD recording.
1235
01:24:30,242 --> 01:24:33,078
Once I had that recording in hand,
1236
01:24:33,078 --> 01:24:35,614
it was clear to me that I couldn't stop.
1237
01:24:37,249 --> 01:24:39,284
There was a smoking gun here.
1238
01:24:40,953 --> 01:24:45,391
So I went to Ken Auletta,a wonderful writer at The New Yorker.
1239
01:24:45,391 --> 01:24:48,293
Ronan Farrow, who I did not know,
1240
01:24:48,293 --> 01:24:51,630
called me up in the spring of 2017,
1241
01:24:51,630 --> 01:24:55,935
and he said, "I've readyour 2002 profile on Harvey.
1242
01:24:55,935 --> 01:24:58,704
Let me tell you what I'm doing."
1243
01:24:58,704 --> 01:25:01,347
He said to methat he had eight witnesses,
1244
01:25:01,347 --> 01:25:04,176
people who were willing
to go on the record.
1245
01:25:04,176 --> 01:25:06,478
That's great.
I mean, I could not do that.
1246
01:25:06,478 --> 01:25:09,248
And he had the police tape from Ambra.
1247
01:25:09,248 --> 01:25:12,618
Please come in.I'm a very‐‐ I'm a famous guy.
1248
01:25:12,618 --> 01:25:15,721
I'm feelingvery uncomfortable right now.Please come in now.
1249
01:25:15,721 --> 01:25:18,657
And in one minute.And if you wanna leave when the guycomes with my jacket‐‐
1250
01:25:18,657 --> 01:25:20,927
Why yesterday you touch my breast?
1251
01:25:20,927 --> 01:25:23,195
Oh, please, I'm sorry,just come on in, I'm used to that.
1252
01:25:23,195 --> 01:25:27,033
I think the momentthe New Yorker team heard that audio
1253
01:25:27,033 --> 01:25:31,003
and understood the numberof testimonials that we had about this,
1254
01:25:31,003 --> 01:25:33,205
they said, "Okay, let's go to the mat.
1255
01:25:33,205 --> 01:25:35,808
Let's get as much as we can together
as fast as we can."
1256
01:25:38,077 --> 01:25:40,412
I would call Ronan or e‐mail him,
1257
01:25:40,412 --> 01:25:43,783
I'd say, "What are you doing?Wh‐Why isn't this story out?"
1258
01:25:43,783 --> 01:25:45,551
And he said, "Well, we're still workingon the story,"
1259
01:25:45,551 --> 01:25:50,689
and then I hear that
The New York Times is doing a story.
1260
01:25:56,829 --> 01:26:00,800
We had been workingaround the clock for days and weeks
1261
01:26:00,800 --> 01:26:03,201
and had barely slept.
1262
01:26:04,436 --> 01:26:08,774
You know, when you are so thick deep
in a, an investigation
1263
01:26:08,774 --> 01:26:11,710
and you're right about
to finally publish the story,
1264
01:26:11,710 --> 01:26:14,413
you can really lose sight
of what you've got
1265
01:26:14,413 --> 01:26:16,149
and what the reaction is gonna be to it.
1266
01:26:19,718 --> 01:26:21,821
Our biggest fear over the summer
1267
01:26:21,821 --> 01:26:23,555
was not of Harvey Weinstein
1268
01:26:23,555 --> 01:26:27,059
or of the paid spies he used on us
1269
01:26:27,059 --> 01:26:29,829
or about the efforts at intimidation.
1270
01:26:29,829 --> 01:26:31,497
It was the fear of failure
1271
01:26:31,497 --> 01:26:34,266
and the fear that we were going
to fail to get the story,
1272
01:26:34,266 --> 01:26:36,502
and we were going to have to live
with this knowledge
1273
01:26:36,502 --> 01:26:38,971
off the record for the rest of our lives.
1274
01:26:47,013 --> 01:26:49,448
People were really scared to talk.
1275
01:26:49,448 --> 01:26:52,618
Instead there was this kind
of miasma of rumors.
1276
01:26:52,618 --> 01:26:55,554
There were public jokes in pop culture.
1277
01:26:55,554 --> 01:26:56,622
‐ Congratulations.
1278
01:26:56,622 --> 01:27:00,126
You five ladies no longer have to pretend
to be attracted to Harvey Weinstein.
1279
01:27:01,560 --> 01:27:04,663
‐ Oh please, I'm not afraid
of anyone in show business.
1280
01:27:04,663 --> 01:27:07,666
I turned down intercourse
with Harvey Weinstein
1281
01:27:07,666 --> 01:27:10,335

out of five.

01:31:52,339 --> 01:31:54,320
surrendering to police in New York City
1345
01:31:54,320 --> 01:31:56,389
amid a throng of reporters and cameras.
1346
01:31:56,389 --> 01:31:58,312
There were so many things
1347
01:31:58,312 --> 01:32:00,059
that had helped protect him for so long,
1348
01:32:00,059 --> 01:32:01,894
and today in the court room
it really felt
1349
01:32:01,894 --> 01:32:04,063
like those layers of protection fell away.
1350
01:32:04,063 --> 01:32:06,332
These are not individual experiences,
1351
01:32:06,332 --> 01:32:08,962
they're collective experiences.
1352
01:32:08,962 --> 01:32:12,271
There's a pattern here and starting today,

01:32:12,271 --> 01:32:15,141
he answers to the same system of justiceas the rest of us.
1354
01:32:24,517 --> 01:32:27,052
I watched Wonder Woman
on the flight over here...
1355
01:32:28,587 --> 01:32:34,126
to try to feel heroiceven when I didn't.
1356
01:32:37,696 --> 01:32:41,900
Chris Pine has this great quote
and he says, um...
1357
01:32:41,900 --> 01:32:44,003
‐ If you see something wronghappening in the world,
1358
01:32:44,003 --> 01:32:46,172
you can either do nothingor you can do something...
1359
01:32:48,640 --> 01:32:50,343
and I already tried nothing.
1360
01:32:55,181 --> 01:32:59,385
‐ And I went, "Oh yeah, that's perfect."
1361
01:33:07,293 --> 01:33:10,262
In the midst of a scandal,two powerful words
1362
01:33:10,262 --> 01:33:11,763
are flooding social media.
1363
01:33:14,133 --> 01:33:16,869
Women across the countryare identifying themselves
1364
01:33:16,869 --> 01:33:18,637

01:33:18,637 --> 01:33:21,907
in the wake of Hollywood mogulHarvey Weinstein's downfall.
1366
01:33:23,709 --> 01:33:26,512
‐ The Harvey Weinstein story
has helped people understand
1367
01:33:26,512 --> 01:33:30,216
that there's a really powerful argument
for speaking up.
1368
01:33:32,617 --> 01:33:35,620
I don't think anyone could have foreseen
1369
01:33:35,620 --> 01:33:39,846
that this would spawna worldwide movement.
1370
01:33:39,846 --> 01:33:42,061
It's a different world.

What's relatable is howpower structures like this exist

so other people watching can relateinto their lives,
1375
01:33:57,677 --> 01:34:01,113
because if we could do it in Hollywood,
you know, people can do it anywhere.
1376
01:34:06,485 --> 01:34:08,554
It's the David and Goliath story.
1377
01:34:08,554 --> 01:34:12,291

And we are not going to be silenced.
we will not be silenced.

‐ There's no question, no question
1384
01:34:25,904 --> 01:34:28,007
that Harvey's behavior was monstrous
1385
01:34:28,007 --> 01:34:30,843
and that he, of course,
should be facing legal repercussion.
1386
01:34:32,311 --> 01:34:37,683
But there is a way,
when you pick out the most grotesque
1387
01:34:37,683 --> 01:34:40,819
and then you fire them,
1388
01:34:40,819 --> 01:34:42,888
maybe you send them to jail,
1389
01:34:42,888 --> 01:34:45,658
maybe you banish them from their industry,
1390
01:34:45,658 --> 01:34:48,760
and then there's the sense that,
"Okay, we've taken care of the problem."
1391
01:34:48,760 --> 01:34:52,264
‐ Just, you know, locking up an individual
isn't going to solve the problem,
1392
01:34:52,264 --> 01:34:54,266
and the most sinister aspect
of all of this
1393
01:34:54,266 --> 01:34:59,980
is that the system enabled it,
you know, um, and still enables it.
1394
01:34:59,980 --> 01:35:02,007
‐ There are going to be hundreds
of these cases
1395
01:35:02,007 --> 01:35:04,544
happening around the country
in lots of different industries.
1396
01:35:06,312 --> 01:35:08,414
And these women aregoing to be attacked.

Undermined, discredited.

That's absolutely going to happen.
1399
01:35:17,690 --> 01:35:22,261
It's easy to forget justhow recently it seemed impossible
1400
01:35:22,261 --> 01:35:24,463
to talk about Harvey Weinstein.
1401
01:35:24,463 --> 01:35:27,366
There is a Harvey Weinsteinin every industry,
1402
01:35:27,366 --> 01:35:30,869
and there are peoplewho are still vastly powerful
1403
01:35:30,869 --> 01:35:35,274
and around whom peopleare still terrified to tell the truth.
1404
01:35:37,577 --> 01:35:42,682
So after this interview, I'll go back
to struggling with brave sources
1405
01:35:42,682 --> 01:35:44,750
to see if they're willingto take that risk
