00:00:05,740 --> 00:00:08,941
In the criminal justice system,
sexually-based offenses
3
00:00:08,975 --> 00:00:11,143
are considered especially heinous.
4
00:00:11,178 --> 00:00:13,445
In New York City,the dedicated detectives
5
00:00:13,480 --> 00:00:15,314
who investigatethese vicious felonies
6
00:00:15,348 --> 00:00:16,682
are members of an elite squad
7
00:00:16,750 --> 00:00:18,784
known as the Special Victims Unit.
8
00:00:18,819 --> 00:00:21,787
These are their stories.
9
00:00:21,822 --> 00:00:22,955
Maybe we should set up
10
00:00:22,989 --> 00:00:24,623
a few more meetings
with the consultant.
11
00:00:24,658 --> 00:00:26,492
- We're fine
- Oh, I just found out
12
00:00:26,526 --> 00:00:28,327
that Matthew Sun
is on the board at Penn...
13
00:00:28,361 --> 00:00:30,529
- We're running late.
- Okay. All right.
14
00:00:30,564 --> 00:00:32,331
Oh, honey? Honey?
Just remember, okay?
15
00:00:32,365 --> 00:00:33,899
It's supposed to be
a conversation, you know?
16
00:00:33,967 --> 00:00:35,701
Just avoid yes or no answers.
17
00:00:35,735 --> 00:00:36,902
- Okay, Mom, I know.
- You look good.
18
00:00:36,970 --> 00:00:38,337
I'll call you when
we get to Boston, okay?
19
00:00:38,371 --> 00:00:39,872
Okay. All right. Oh!
20
00:00:39,906 --> 00:00:42,875
Don't forget to mention your
three-week seminar in Nairobi.
21
00:00:42,909 --> 00:00:43,909
Thank you.
22
00:00:54,054 --> 00:00:56,522
Hey.
23
00:00:56,556 --> 00:00:58,390
Great.
24
00:00:58,425 --> 00:01:00,526
Yeah, I'll see you soon.
25
00:01:15,542 --> 00:01:19,879
Laura, are you sure
you want to have sex?
26
00:01:19,913 --> 00:01:21,046
Absolutely.
27
00:01:21,081 --> 00:01:24,383
Why the hell do you think we're here?
28
00:01:45,772 --> 00:01:47,473
- All right, thank you.
- Hi.
29
00:01:47,540 --> 00:01:50,409
Hey, the victim's name
is Laura Collett.
30
00:01:50,443 --> 00:01:51,577
She's on her way to the hospital.
31
00:01:51,611 --> 00:01:53,579
It looks like an overdose,
but no note.
32
00:01:53,613 --> 00:01:54,880
- Who found her?
- Maintenance.
33
00:01:54,915 --> 00:01:56,949
2:00 a.m.
Tub started overflowing,
34
00:01:56,983 --> 00:01:58,550
leaking water into the room below.
35
00:01:58,585 --> 00:02:00,286
- Did she check in alone?
- Well, we're not sure.
36
00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:01,620
We're trying to pull video
at the moment,
37
00:02:01,655 --> 00:02:03,455
but, I mean, the room is in her name.
38
00:02:03,490 --> 00:02:04,924
She charged it on her AMEX.
39
00:02:04,958 --> 00:02:08,627
- Key card?
- Last used at 9:56 p.m.
40
00:02:08,662 --> 00:02:11,430
- Any witnesses on the floor?
- No, nobody heard a peep.
41
00:02:11,464 --> 00:02:13,432
Oh, looks romantic.
42
00:02:13,466 --> 00:02:15,000
- Flowers, a bottle of Brunello.
- Yeah.
43
00:02:15,068 --> 00:02:16,902
CSU's gonna check that for narcotics.
44
00:02:16,937 --> 00:02:18,470
You said there was
an outcry witness, right?
45
00:02:18,505 --> 00:02:20,072
Yeah, the suspect via text.
46
00:02:20,106 --> 00:02:21,941
- Okay, you got a name?
- No.
47
00:02:21,975 --> 00:02:23,609
I called the number a few times.
48
00:02:23,643 --> 00:02:25,477
No answer, no voicemail.
49
00:02:25,512 --> 00:02:29,748
Laura's last text was
11:56 last night.
50
00:02:30,984 --> 00:02:32,618
"You raped me.
Burn in hell."
51
00:02:32,652 --> 00:02:35,354
Okay, clear and concise.
Not exactly.
52
00:02:35,422 --> 00:02:39,091
She sent another text to the
same guy ten minutes earlier.
53
00:02:39,125 --> 00:02:42,461
"Incredible night.
Just gonna say it.
54
00:02:42,495 --> 00:02:43,996
Best sex ever."
55
00:02:44,030 --> 00:02:46,966
So, in ten minutes
she goes from "best sex ever"
56
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:48,467
to "you raped me?"
57
00:02:48,501 --> 00:02:50,436
How the hell does that happen?
58
00:03:34,012 --> 00:03:36,919
- sync and corrections by Zac -

59
00:03:42,229 --> 00:03:43,895
Hey.
The vic's at the hospital.
60
00:03:43,929 --> 00:03:45,163
She's still unresponsive.
61
00:03:45,197 --> 00:03:47,232
Nearly lethal dose of
alcohol and diazepam.
62
00:03:47,266 --> 00:03:49,434
Doctor says it's looking 50/50.
63
00:03:49,502 --> 00:03:50,902
Any other drugs in her system?
64
00:03:50,936 --> 00:03:53,004
No, and the doctor did
a full tox panel.
65
00:03:53,038 --> 00:03:54,518
No Rohypnol or other date rape drugs.
66
00:03:54,540 --> 00:03:56,007
Okay, so the victim has sex,
67
00:03:56,041 --> 00:03:57,675
and then has a change of heart
after the fact.
68
00:03:57,710 --> 00:04:00,044
She goes from best sex ever
to rape in ten minutes.
69
00:04:00,079 --> 00:04:02,380
- That's a pretty big change of heart.
- Ten minutes or ten hours.
70
00:04:02,414 --> 00:04:04,382
The question is,
what turns this into a rape?
71
00:04:04,416 --> 00:04:06,217
TARU said these texts went
to a burner?
72
00:04:06,252 --> 00:04:07,619
- Yeah.
- All right.
73
00:04:07,686 --> 00:04:10,021
So the victim,
Laura Collett, married,
74
00:04:10,055 --> 00:04:11,422
lives in Manhattan.
What else do we know?
75
00:04:11,457 --> 00:04:13,358
She's 42. She has one son.
76
00:04:13,392 --> 00:04:14,953
And here's a screen shot
of her phone.
77
00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:16,194
Just another perfect family.
78
00:04:16,228 --> 00:04:17,948
Wow, it's just too early
to be that jaded.
79
00:04:17,963 --> 00:04:19,364
Next time I'll wait till noon.
80
00:04:19,398 --> 00:04:20,632
The husband, he's at the hospital?
81
00:04:20,699 --> 00:04:22,500
- Yeah, unis called.
- Great, head down there.
82
00:04:22,535 --> 00:04:24,536
See what he knows.
83
00:04:24,538 --> 00:04:27,972
_
84
00:04:28,574 --> 00:04:30,108
Excuse me. Mr. Collett?
85
00:04:30,142 --> 00:04:32,022
I'm Detective Carisi.
This is Detective Rollins.
86
00:04:32,044 --> 00:04:35,413
We're looking into what happened
with your wife last night.
87
00:04:35,447 --> 00:04:38,616
You're investigating her
for overdosing on pills?
88
00:04:38,651 --> 00:04:40,618
No, no, we're not.
We're trying to understand
89
00:04:40,653 --> 00:04:42,654
what happened prior to that.
90
00:04:42,721 --> 00:04:45,623
- Prior?
- Yeah.
91
00:04:45,658 --> 00:04:47,392
You see,
your wife sent a text message
92
00:04:47,426 --> 00:04:51,296
from her phone
accusing somebody of rape.
93
00:04:51,330 --> 00:04:56,234
So she was at a hotel
with a man who raped her?
94
00:04:56,268 --> 00:04:59,637
Right now, we're just trying
to figure out who she was with.
95
00:04:59,672 --> 00:05:01,506
When was the last time
you talked to Laura?
96
00:05:01,574 --> 00:05:02,941
Late afternoon.
97
00:05:02,975 --> 00:05:07,245
I was... my son and I were
in Boston, visiting colleges.
98
00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:11,115
Did you know that she was staying
at the Luxembourg Hotel that night?
99
00:05:11,150 --> 00:05:14,118
Mr. Collett, do you have
any idea who Laura was with?
100
00:05:14,153 --> 00:05:15,954
Maybe with somebody from work?
101
00:05:15,988 --> 00:05:18,423
No. She doesn't work.
102
00:05:18,457 --> 00:05:20,592
She's involved with
various charities, but...
103
00:05:20,626 --> 00:05:24,429
- Okay.
- We were happy.
104
00:05:24,463 --> 00:05:28,266
- At least I thought we were.
- Had she taken up anything new?
105
00:05:28,300 --> 00:05:30,668
Tennis, hiking, or yoga?
106
00:05:30,703 --> 00:05:32,971
More like college admissions.
107
00:05:33,005 --> 00:05:34,372
That's all she thinks about,
108
00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:36,474
where my son will be going
to college next year.
109
00:05:36,508 --> 00:05:38,977
Right.
110
00:05:39,011 --> 00:05:42,647
Well, look, Mr. Collett, we know
this is all overwhelming,
111
00:05:42,681 --> 00:05:44,983
but we'd like your consent
to do a rape kit.
112
00:05:49,154 --> 00:05:50,355
What do you got?
113
00:05:50,389 --> 00:05:52,223
The hotel just sent over
security footage.
114
00:05:52,291 --> 00:05:53,691
All right, at 6:14 p.m.,
115
00:05:53,726 --> 00:05:55,159
Laura walks in the hotel lobby.
116
00:05:55,194 --> 00:05:58,730
She says hello
to this tall, white man.
117
00:05:58,797 --> 00:06:00,999
Looks early 40s.
He's decent looking.
118
00:06:01,033 --> 00:06:02,066
Well-dressed.
119
00:06:02,134 --> 00:06:03,334
I'll run it through
facial-rec.
120
00:06:03,369 --> 00:06:04,669
Great, so meanwhile,
head back to that hotel,
121
00:06:04,703 --> 00:06:08,039
show that image to guests,
doormen, front desk.
122
00:06:08,073 --> 00:06:10,308
See if anybody knows who this guy is.
123
00:06:10,342 --> 00:06:12,262
All right, take a ride
to the Luxembourg Hotel?
124
00:06:12,311 --> 00:06:14,646
No, I can't.
125
00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:18,149
Barba set up an interview with
me with some ADA in Brooklyn.
126
00:06:18,183 --> 00:06:19,684
Brooklyn?
127
00:06:19,718 --> 00:06:22,320
You got to grow a beard and
start making artisan pickles?
128
00:06:22,354 --> 00:06:23,655
I'm just seeing
what's out there, all right?
129
00:06:23,689 --> 00:06:27,158
For the record,
I like artisan pickles.
130
00:06:27,192 --> 00:06:30,028
- Mm.
- How do I look?
131
00:06:30,062 --> 00:06:32,063
Like a cop.
132
00:06:34,266 --> 00:06:36,834
Hey, how did Noah do?
133
00:06:36,869 --> 00:06:39,404
Okay, did you talk to his teacher?
134
00:06:39,438 --> 00:06:41,572
Oh.
135
00:06:41,607 --> 00:06:44,709
Okay, thanks, Lucy.
136
00:06:44,743 --> 00:06:46,844
Everything good with the little guy?
137
00:06:46,879 --> 00:06:49,614
Apparently, Noah's language skills
138
00:06:49,682 --> 00:06:51,516
are slightly underdeveloped
139
00:06:51,550 --> 00:06:53,184
relative to his peer group.
140
00:06:53,218 --> 00:06:55,520
You know,
I've just been doing my best,
141
00:06:55,554 --> 00:06:58,122
you know,
reading and talking, singing...
142
00:06:58,190 --> 00:07:00,391
So he's not getting
into the fancy school?
143
00:07:00,426 --> 00:07:03,361
They don't know yet.
144
00:07:03,395 --> 00:07:05,196
Anything new with Laura Collett?
145
00:07:05,230 --> 00:07:06,564
Rape kit came back.
146
00:07:06,598 --> 00:07:09,634
No semen, bruises, or abrasions,
but she did have sex.
147
00:07:09,702 --> 00:07:12,070
They found traces
of condom lubricant.
148
00:07:12,104 --> 00:07:14,205
- Any facial-rec?
- No, the guy's still a ghost.
149
00:07:14,239 --> 00:07:16,374
- Anything on social media?
- No pops on the perp,
150
00:07:16,408 --> 00:07:18,242
but check this out.
151
00:07:18,277 --> 00:07:21,145
She DM'd her son the day
before the incident.
152
00:07:21,213 --> 00:07:22,747
"I'm sorry. Call me."
153
00:07:22,781 --> 00:07:24,382
And he writes back,
"You make me sick.
154
00:07:24,416 --> 00:07:25,416
I hope you die."
155
00:07:25,451 --> 00:07:27,151
Huh.
156
00:07:27,219 --> 00:07:29,420
- Those are pretty strong words.
- Yeah, maybe the kid found out
157
00:07:29,455 --> 00:07:30,755
his mother was seeing somebody else.
158
00:07:30,789 --> 00:07:32,423
I'll go back to the hospital,
see what he knows.
159
00:07:32,458 --> 00:07:35,460
How'd your meeting go with LaRosa?
160
00:07:37,429 --> 00:07:39,430
What, you think I don't hear things?
161
00:07:48,140 --> 00:07:51,676
Hey, Justin. How's your mom?
162
00:07:51,744 --> 00:07:54,512
She's still unconscious, but
the doctor sounds optimistic.
163
00:07:54,580 --> 00:07:55,613
Good.
164
00:07:55,647 --> 00:07:58,916
Not sure if he really means it,
or he's just trying to placate me.
165
00:07:58,951 --> 00:08:02,587
Placate, huh? Nice.
SAT word, right?
166
00:08:03,856 --> 00:08:07,291
So listen, we got this
from the hotel security.
167
00:08:07,326 --> 00:08:11,162
Do you recognize this guy
with your mom?
168
00:08:11,196 --> 00:08:12,764
No, sorry.
169
00:08:12,798 --> 00:08:14,799
That's okay.
170
00:08:18,203 --> 00:08:21,272
So listen, Justin. I, um...
171
00:08:21,306 --> 00:08:22,840
I saw the message
you sent your mother
172
00:08:22,875 --> 00:08:25,476
the night of the incident.
173
00:08:25,511 --> 00:08:28,780
What was she so sorry about?
174
00:08:28,814 --> 00:08:31,349
Why did you say
that you wanted her to die?
175
00:08:31,383 --> 00:08:33,551
She kept bugging me about Hudson.
176
00:08:33,619 --> 00:08:38,289
She really wants me to go there.
She thinks it's so prestigious.
177
00:08:38,323 --> 00:08:41,692
You know, my mother...
178
00:08:43,529 --> 00:08:46,631
My mother didn't even know
I applied to college.
179
00:08:46,665 --> 00:08:47,899
No, seriously.
180
00:08:47,966 --> 00:08:49,534
Two days before
classes started, I said,
181
00:08:49,568 --> 00:08:51,402
"Hey, Ma, can I borrow
400 bucks for books?
182
00:08:51,470 --> 00:08:52,904
I just got into St. John's."
183
00:08:52,971 --> 00:08:54,639
Lucky you.
184
00:08:54,673 --> 00:08:56,641
My mom's been on
four campus tours of Hudson,
185
00:08:56,675 --> 00:08:58,342
sat in on six lectures,
186
00:08:58,377 --> 00:09:01,913
and had three lunches with some guy
from the admissions office.
187
00:09:01,980 --> 00:09:04,182
The other day, she asked me
to have lunch with him.
188
00:09:04,216 --> 00:09:08,186
Said he might be the difference
maker, and I snapped.
189
00:09:08,220 --> 00:09:10,354
I'm sick of dealing with
all her stress over all this.
190
00:09:10,389 --> 00:09:11,889
I'm the one applying.
191
00:09:13,926 --> 00:09:17,662
I just hope that's not the
last thing I ever said to her.
192
00:09:24,369 --> 00:09:25,837
Did she ever mention
the name of the guy
193
00:09:25,871 --> 00:09:29,574
at the...
the admissions office?
194
00:09:29,608 --> 00:09:33,277
No, she never mentioned it.
195
00:09:33,345 --> 00:09:35,847
Do you think she...
196
00:09:35,881 --> 00:09:38,850
that because of our fight,
she took all those pills?
197
00:09:38,884 --> 00:09:42,553
No.
No, put that out of your head.
198
00:09:42,588 --> 00:09:44,789
I think she loves you very much,
199
00:09:44,857 --> 00:09:47,925
and it's because of that she's
gonna make a full recovery.
200
00:09:50,562 --> 00:09:51,796
Come on.
201
00:09:51,864 --> 00:09:53,344
You got to hit
that thing harder, man.
202
00:09:53,365 --> 00:09:54,866
You know what's overrated?
203
00:09:54,900 --> 00:09:57,702
Wireless, and putting lemon in water.
204
00:09:57,736 --> 00:09:58,870
I don't get that.
205
00:09:58,904 --> 00:10:00,404
All right.
206
00:10:00,439 --> 00:10:02,607
So Justin says that his mother
was spending time with some guy
207
00:10:02,641 --> 00:10:05,543
who works in the office of admissions
of Hudson University.
208
00:10:05,577 --> 00:10:09,580
I got 27 males
in that department, 19 women.
209
00:10:09,615 --> 00:10:11,582
Takes all those people
to look at applications
210
00:10:11,617 --> 00:10:12,617
and say yes or no?
211
00:10:12,651 --> 00:10:14,418
Hey, I just got back from the hotel,
212
00:10:14,453 --> 00:10:15,973
and nobody recognizes
the unknown male,
213
00:10:15,988 --> 00:10:18,990
but I did get a name
that you might find interesting.
214
00:10:19,057 --> 00:10:21,726
Laura signed into
the spa at 6:33 p.m.,
215
00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:24,829
and a guy named Alden Kessler
signed in at the exact same time.
216
00:10:24,897 --> 00:10:27,398
Hey, look at that.
He's at the top of my list.
217
00:10:27,432 --> 00:10:29,433
Director of Admissions.
218
00:10:31,987 --> 00:10:34,571
_
219
00:10:34,573 --> 00:10:36,974
Alden Kessler. Where is he?
220
00:10:37,009 --> 00:10:38,342
Thanks.
221
00:10:41,446 --> 00:10:42,747
Hey, where's Alden Kessler?
222
00:10:42,781 --> 00:10:45,449
You're looking at him.
223
00:10:45,484 --> 00:10:47,785
- Wait, you're Alden Kessler?
- Is there a problem?
224
00:10:47,819 --> 00:10:50,421
Yeah.
A tall white one.
225
00:10:50,455 --> 00:10:52,490
Do you know him? Or her?
226
00:10:52,524 --> 00:10:53,991
No.
Never seen either one.
227
00:10:54,026 --> 00:10:55,860
Look, what's going on here?
This is Detective Carisi.
228
00:10:55,928 --> 00:10:56,994
I'm Detective Rollins.
229
00:10:57,029 --> 00:10:58,596
We're from the Special Victims Unit
230
00:10:58,630 --> 00:11:01,966
and we're investigating
a rape allegation.
231
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:04,302
Is that your signature?
232
00:11:04,336 --> 00:11:07,605
No, and I've never set foot
in the Luxembourg Hotel. Why?
233
00:11:07,639 --> 00:11:11,008
There's a rapist out there
pretending to be you.
234
00:11:18,528 --> 00:11:22,095
We think someone is using
your name, your identity.
235
00:11:22,129 --> 00:11:23,797
Any idea why somebody
would want to do that?
236
00:11:23,831 --> 00:11:26,433
This woman, Laura, does she
have a child applying to Hudson?
237
00:11:26,467 --> 00:11:30,170
Yeah, her son. Justin Collett.
238
00:11:35,843 --> 00:11:39,179
Yeah, there he is.
Senior at York Prep.
239
00:11:39,246 --> 00:11:42,182
3.9 GPA, 2250 SAT scores.
240
00:11:42,249 --> 00:11:43,683
- That's good, right?
- Exceptional.
241
00:11:43,751 --> 00:11:47,187
Problem is, we get 2,000 kids
with similar credentials.
242
00:11:47,254 --> 00:11:48,622
We only accept 400.
243
00:11:48,656 --> 00:11:51,358
The other spots
go to international students,
244
00:11:51,425 --> 00:11:52,826
athletes, diversity candidates.
245
00:11:52,860 --> 00:11:55,195
So, tough to be a rich,
white kid with great grades?
246
00:11:55,262 --> 00:11:56,596
That... that's what you're saying?
247
00:11:56,631 --> 00:11:58,431
At elite universities, anyway.
248
00:11:58,466 --> 00:12:01,534
That must make you
a pretty popular man, right?
249
00:12:01,602 --> 00:12:03,503
When you're, like, the... the doorman
250
00:12:03,537 --> 00:12:05,639
for the most exclusive club
in the world.
251
00:12:05,673 --> 00:12:07,007
Do any of these rich parents
252
00:12:07,041 --> 00:12:10,276
ever try to, um...
influence your decision?
253
00:12:10,311 --> 00:12:13,113
No, never.
254
00:12:13,147 --> 00:12:15,148
That would be unethical.
255
00:12:17,218 --> 00:12:20,320
- Do any of them offer sex?
- Excuse me?
256
00:12:20,354 --> 00:12:23,857
What I mean is, if you wanted
to exploit your power
257
00:12:23,891 --> 00:12:26,326
in a sexual way,
would there be any takers?
258
00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:28,561
I've been offered all kinds
of outrageous things,
259
00:12:28,629 --> 00:12:32,332
a part ownership at a winery
in Bordeaux, a Monet.
260
00:12:32,366 --> 00:12:35,568
Last year, a hedge funder
with an underachieving son
261
00:12:35,636 --> 00:12:37,003
offered me $5 million,
262
00:12:37,038 --> 00:12:40,874
and yes, on occasion,
there have been sexual advances.
263
00:12:42,009 --> 00:12:43,090
Laura Collett just woke up.
264
00:12:43,144 --> 00:12:45,345
Benson's on her way to the hospital.
265
00:12:45,379 --> 00:12:48,648
Mr. Kessler, thank you.
We'll be in touch.
266
00:12:48,683 --> 00:12:51,017
We, uh, we met on campus.
267
00:12:51,052 --> 00:12:53,353
Justin and I had just, uh,
taken a tour,
268
00:12:53,387 --> 00:12:56,022
and I was... I was getting coffee
at the caf�,
269
00:12:56,057 --> 00:12:59,893
and he, um...
he introduced himself to me.
270
00:12:59,927 --> 00:13:02,395
He said he worked
at the admissions office.
271
00:13:02,430 --> 00:13:05,398
The night that you two were
at the Luxembourg Hotel,
272
00:13:05,433 --> 00:13:09,936
you sent him a text
that said, "Best sex ever."
273
00:13:10,004 --> 00:13:13,373
And then ten minutes later,
you sent him another text that said,
274
00:13:13,407 --> 00:13:16,376
"You raped me. Burn in hell."
275
00:13:16,410 --> 00:13:18,545
So can you tell me what happened
in those ten minutes?
276
00:13:18,579 --> 00:13:21,347
I figured out
he wasn't Alden Kessler.
277
00:13:21,382 --> 00:13:22,916
How?
278
00:13:22,950 --> 00:13:24,384
He mixed up a few statistics.
279
00:13:24,418 --> 00:13:26,953
He said, um...
280
00:13:27,021 --> 00:13:29,556
said the endowment was 9 billion.
281
00:13:29,590 --> 00:13:31,291
It's actually 13.
282
00:13:31,358 --> 00:13:32,559
You got suspicious?
283
00:13:32,593 --> 00:13:34,394
Yeah.
284
00:13:34,428 --> 00:13:37,063
Had you Googled him or,
you know, looked him up?
285
00:13:37,098 --> 00:13:38,398
I did, and there he was
286
00:13:38,432 --> 00:13:41,935
on some professor's Instagram page.
287
00:13:41,969 --> 00:13:45,238
Just right there, and I'm...
288
00:13:45,272 --> 00:13:47,574
I mean, I'm stunned.
I'm stunned, and I call him.
289
00:13:47,608 --> 00:13:51,244
I called this man that
I just had sex with, okay?
290
00:13:51,278 --> 00:13:55,949
And I confront him,
and he laughs at me.
291
00:13:55,983 --> 00:13:57,717
And he hangs up,
and I call him again,
292
00:13:57,752 --> 00:13:59,586
and... and...
and he doesn't answer,
293
00:13:59,620 --> 00:14:02,255
so I sent the text
about him raping me.
294
00:14:02,289 --> 00:14:04,049
I mean, I didn't... I didn't
mean it literally,
295
00:14:04,058 --> 00:14:07,127
but I wanted him to know
296
00:14:07,161 --> 00:14:10,263
how disgusting he was
and how upset I was,
297
00:14:10,297 --> 00:14:11,965
and then...
298
00:14:15,503 --> 00:14:20,173
Did you mean to hurt yourself?
299
00:14:20,241 --> 00:14:22,642
No. I was...
300
00:14:22,676 --> 00:14:25,411
I was trying to numb the pain.
301
00:14:29,583 --> 00:14:32,652
I would never abandon my family.
302
00:14:34,822 --> 00:14:39,125
So you didn't know
the true identity of this man,
303
00:14:39,160 --> 00:14:41,694
which means that you never consented
304
00:14:41,762 --> 00:14:44,998
to having sex with him.
305
00:14:45,032 --> 00:14:46,633
Wait a minute.
What... what are you saying?
306
00:14:46,667 --> 00:14:50,303
What... what he did was a crime?
307
00:14:50,337 --> 00:14:53,807
I'm saying that what he did
to you is rape.
308
00:14:57,845 --> 00:15:00,380
She screwed some guy trying to
get her kid into college?
309
00:15:00,447 --> 00:15:02,615
- Quid pro quo.
- But she got played.
310
00:15:02,650 --> 00:15:04,350
Ended up having sex with some jackass
311
00:15:04,385 --> 00:15:05,785
pretending to be
a big shot at Hudson.
312
00:15:05,820 --> 00:15:08,154
Which makes it rape.
In her mind, anyway.
313
00:15:08,189 --> 00:15:11,357
Just being real, lying to have
sex is just part of the game.
314
00:15:11,392 --> 00:15:12,692
I mean, back in the day,
315
00:15:12,726 --> 00:15:14,661
I pretended to be
Melle Mel's cousin one night.
316
00:15:14,695 --> 00:15:15,862
You trying to tell me that was rape?
317
00:15:15,896 --> 00:15:18,731
- Things have changed, Fin.
- Not that much.
318
00:15:18,799 --> 00:15:21,334
Everybody's lying in the club.
Trust me on that.
319
00:15:21,368 --> 00:15:24,204
No, no, she consented to
having sex with Alden Kessler,
320
00:15:24,238 --> 00:15:26,806
not some stranger
pretending to be Alden Kessler,
321
00:15:26,841 --> 00:15:29,309
so ask me, that's rape.
322
00:15:29,343 --> 00:15:31,711
Let's find this guy.
Do we have any leads?
323
00:15:31,745 --> 00:15:33,012
No, not much.
324
00:15:33,047 --> 00:15:34,414
The wine bottle came back
negative for prints,
325
00:15:34,481 --> 00:15:36,716
and the only lead I got
when I was at Laura's townhouse,
326
00:15:36,750 --> 00:15:38,484
I found a few personal notes
written to her
327
00:15:38,519 --> 00:15:40,420
on Kessler's Hudson stationary.
328
00:15:40,487 --> 00:15:41,688
Oh, that guy was selling it.
329
00:15:41,722 --> 00:15:43,656
If it's really Kessler's stationary
330
00:15:43,691 --> 00:15:47,660
that means that the suspect
has access to his office.
331
00:15:47,695 --> 00:15:49,696
Time to take another college tour.
332
00:15:50,690 --> 00:15:53,165
_
333
00:15:53,167 --> 00:15:55,535
68 grand a year for this?
I don't get all the fuss.
334
00:15:55,569 --> 00:15:57,737
Yeah, me neither,
but a lot of people do.
335
00:15:57,771 --> 00:16:00,707
Yeah, this imposter obviously
witnessed all the groveling
336
00:16:00,741 --> 00:16:02,542
and ass-kissing up close
and personal
337
00:16:02,576 --> 00:16:04,544
- that goes on around here.
- Makes sense.
338
00:16:04,578 --> 00:16:06,779
He saw he had a captive
audience, decided to exploit it.
339
00:16:06,780 --> 00:16:09,249
Yeah, but... right, but guys
have been doing that for years.
340
00:16:09,283 --> 00:16:12,252
Right? Lying, exaggerating,
manipulating.
341
00:16:12,286 --> 00:16:16,122
- You don't think it's rape?
- I-I think it's disgusting,
342
00:16:16,190 --> 00:16:17,857
but where do you draw the line?
343
00:16:17,892 --> 00:16:20,560
Like, say this kid,
says he grew up on Fifth Avenue,
344
00:16:20,594 --> 00:16:23,129
but he's really
from Jersey City, or say a guy,
345
00:16:23,197 --> 00:16:25,231
he says he makes
200,000 grand a year,
346
00:16:25,266 --> 00:16:28,134
but he really only makes 100,
you know? I mean, is that rape?
347
00:16:28,202 --> 00:16:29,702
This guy's different.
He's a predator.
348
00:16:29,737 --> 00:16:32,105
Well, I just don't like gray.
349
00:16:32,139 --> 00:16:33,740
We're cops, not lawyers.
350
00:16:33,774 --> 00:16:35,642
Speak for yourself.
351
00:16:35,709 --> 00:16:37,644
I keep forgetting.
352
00:16:37,711 --> 00:16:42,149
- Is that an insult? Go ahead.
- Actually, it's a compliment.
353
00:16:45,620 --> 00:16:48,355
That's Tom Metcalf, campus security.
354
00:16:48,422 --> 00:16:50,357
We hired him two months ago.
355
00:16:50,424 --> 00:16:54,160
We had about 20 extra people
during application season.
356
00:16:54,195 --> 00:16:56,262
Things can get little nuts.
357
00:16:56,297 --> 00:16:58,965
A few days ago, I would have
found that hard to believe.
358
00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:01,101
Why do you need Tom? He in trouble?
359
00:17:01,135 --> 00:17:04,938
No, no.
We just... we want to talk to him.
360
00:17:04,972 --> 00:17:06,873
- He punched out at 5:12.
- Can you call him?
361
00:17:06,941 --> 00:17:08,475
Find out where he is?
You know, pretend you got
362
00:17:08,509 --> 00:17:11,177
to talk to him
about work or something.
363
00:17:22,156 --> 00:17:23,990
You know, I played
baseball at Vanderbilt.
364
00:17:24,025 --> 00:17:26,126
You really work at Goldman?
365
00:17:26,160 --> 00:17:27,320
Don't take this the wrong way,
366
00:17:27,328 --> 00:17:29,329
but you look like
a construction worker.
367
00:17:29,363 --> 00:17:31,498
I produce movies. Mostly comedies.
368
00:17:31,532 --> 00:17:33,172
You ever hear of the
"40-Year-Old-Virgin?"
369
00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:35,068
No way.
That's one of my favorites.
370
00:17:38,039 --> 00:17:40,006
34,000 applications.
371
00:17:40,041 --> 00:17:41,341
We accepted 10%.
372
00:17:41,375 --> 00:17:45,045
71% of those applicants chose Hudson.
373
00:17:45,079 --> 00:17:47,647
We now have a yield rate
that's higher than Princeton.
374
00:17:47,682 --> 00:17:51,217
How do you know all that, Tom?
375
00:17:51,252 --> 00:17:55,822
- Tom? My name is...
- Let me guess. Alden?
376
00:17:56,357 --> 00:17:58,925
Why don't we go back to my place?
377
00:18:02,401 --> 00:18:05,902
Laura Collett overdosed?
That's horrible.
378
00:18:05,936 --> 00:18:08,237
Well, she said that you lied to her.
379
00:18:08,272 --> 00:18:09,792
That you pretended
to be Alden Kessler,
380
00:18:09,806 --> 00:18:12,742
and when she found out,
she got pretty upset.
381
00:18:12,776 --> 00:18:15,745
That's terrible.
I'm... I'm so sorry.
382
00:18:15,779 --> 00:18:18,915
So you admit you lied to her
about being somebody else?
383
00:18:18,949 --> 00:18:20,783
I told her I worked in admissions,
384
00:18:20,817 --> 00:18:22,885
and I left out the fact
that I was a security guard,
385
00:18:22,920 --> 00:18:24,253
and she made assumptions.
386
00:18:24,288 --> 00:18:26,923
You know, as far as I know,
that's not a crime.
387
00:18:26,957 --> 00:18:28,224
I even looked it up.
388
00:18:28,258 --> 00:18:30,993
Well, we're just trying to figure out
what happened that night.
389
00:18:31,061 --> 00:18:32,929
I mean, I got to do my job,
but between you and me,
390
00:18:32,963 --> 00:18:34,284
I don't even know why you're here.
391
00:18:34,298 --> 00:18:37,233
Honestly, I dated this chick
once in college.
392
00:18:37,267 --> 00:18:38,547
I dated her for a whole semester.
393
00:18:38,569 --> 00:18:40,970
She thought I was
an exchange student from Italy.
394
00:18:41,004 --> 00:18:42,338
It was the best sex I ever had.
395
00:18:42,406 --> 00:18:44,240
Yeah, well, that whole
foreign thing works with,
396
00:18:44,274 --> 00:18:45,741
you know, a certain niche audience.
397
00:18:45,776 --> 00:18:47,643
This guy thinks
he's pretty clever, huh?
398
00:18:47,678 --> 00:18:50,012
So does this guy.
399
00:18:50,080 --> 00:18:53,683
So is it just college moms,
or do you work other angles too?
400
00:18:53,750 --> 00:18:55,151
What's the point of this meeting?
401
00:18:55,185 --> 00:18:58,287
Look, Tom, I need
to hear your side of this
402
00:18:58,322 --> 00:19:00,823
before things
get blown out of proportion.
403
00:19:00,857 --> 00:19:02,792
My side, it's simple.
I met Laura.
404
00:19:02,826 --> 00:19:05,161
We had a few dates.
That's that.
405
00:19:05,195 --> 00:19:08,831
Have you ever impersonated
other people?
406
00:19:08,865 --> 00:19:10,933
Come on, man to man.
407
00:19:10,968 --> 00:19:13,803
Like I said,
it's not against the law.
408
00:19:13,837 --> 00:19:15,938
If you ask me,
it's a brilliant strategy,
409
00:19:15,973 --> 00:19:17,306
like taking advantage
of the tax code.
410
00:19:17,341 --> 00:19:19,375
You find a loophole, you exploit it.
411
00:19:19,443 --> 00:19:20,977
Well, you got nothing to worry about.
412
00:19:21,011 --> 00:19:22,044
That's my point.
413
00:19:22,112 --> 00:19:23,312
So you have
impersonated other people?
414
00:19:23,347 --> 00:19:24,981
- Of course.
- Well, let me guess.
415
00:19:25,015 --> 00:19:26,115
Hedge fund guy, right?
416
00:19:26,149 --> 00:19:28,017
Oh, please, that's for rookies.
417
00:19:28,051 --> 00:19:29,685
I play much more
sophisticated angles.
418
00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:32,321
Oh, such as?
419
00:19:32,356 --> 00:19:34,357
I used to work security
in a medical building.
420
00:19:34,391 --> 00:19:35,858
Heard all this lingo.
421
00:19:35,892 --> 00:19:38,961
Next thing you know,
the neurologist is in the house.
422
00:19:38,996 --> 00:19:40,396
Hmm.
423
00:19:40,464 --> 00:19:45,001
"Amy, my main focus
is neuromuscular disease,
424
00:19:45,035 --> 00:19:48,838
but if truth be told,
425
00:19:48,872 --> 00:19:52,208
my true passion is poetry."
426
00:19:52,242 --> 00:19:53,976
That is genius.
427
00:19:54,011 --> 00:19:56,078
It's all about the humble brag.
428
00:19:56,146 --> 00:19:58,347
I'm writing a book about
all this to help regular guys
429
00:19:58,382 --> 00:20:00,416
close the deal with beautiful women.
430
00:20:00,484 --> 00:20:01,884
Let's go back
to Laura though, all right?
431
00:20:01,918 --> 00:20:05,187
Did she actually ever say yes
to you, to Tom, before sex?
432
00:20:05,222 --> 00:20:07,356
Or did she just think
she was about to get after it
433
00:20:07,391 --> 00:20:10,359
with some hot shot from Hudson?
434
00:20:10,394 --> 00:20:12,361
Am I under arrest?
435
00:20:14,398 --> 00:20:15,398
No.
436
00:20:17,401 --> 00:20:19,368
Then I'm out of here.
437
00:20:27,077 --> 00:20:29,278
I'm gonna send you a copy of my book.
438
00:20:29,346 --> 00:20:32,782
If you're nice, I might even
autograph it for you.
439
00:20:38,522 --> 00:20:40,856
It sounds like Rape by Fraud.
440
00:20:40,891 --> 00:20:42,792
The problem is that doesn't
exist in New York criminal code.
441
00:20:42,859 --> 00:20:44,760
I know, but we can't
just let this guy walk.
442
00:20:44,795 --> 00:20:48,097
There's got to be
some kind of statute or theory
443
00:20:48,131 --> 00:20:51,233
that we can use to prosecute
this kind of vile behavior.
444
00:20:51,268 --> 00:20:53,402
People vs. Hough, 1994.
445
00:20:53,437 --> 00:20:55,871
A twin tricks his brother's wife
into having sex with him.
446
00:20:55,906 --> 00:20:57,386
The court rules there was wrongdoing,
447
00:20:57,407 --> 00:20:58,874
but no crime was committed
448
00:20:58,909 --> 00:21:01,210
since the law doesn't cover
that type of behavior.
449
00:21:01,244 --> 00:21:04,413
Okay, so maybe it's time
we update New York law
450
00:21:04,448 --> 00:21:08,150
into the 21st Century.
451
00:21:08,218 --> 00:21:10,119
Well, there have been rumblings about
452
00:21:10,153 --> 00:21:12,488
a new bill in the legislature.
453
00:21:12,556 --> 00:21:14,890
A case like this
could kick start things.
454
00:21:14,925 --> 00:21:16,258
Are you sure the victim
is willing to testify?
455
00:21:16,293 --> 00:21:18,794
I will talk to her.
456
00:21:18,829 --> 00:21:20,930
And our repugnant ladies' man,
he's done this before?
457
00:21:20,964 --> 00:21:22,465
Well, it sounds like it.
458
00:21:22,499 --> 00:21:24,900
He told Carisi
that he was writing a book
459
00:21:24,935 --> 00:21:26,469
about his various conquests.
460
00:21:26,503 --> 00:21:28,571
If we can establish
a consistent pattern,
461
00:21:28,605 --> 00:21:30,072
it would help sway the jury.
462
00:21:30,107 --> 00:21:32,308
Great, I'll need a warrant
to keep digging.
463
00:21:32,342 --> 00:21:33,442
Yeah.
464
00:21:34,056 --> 00:21:35,844
_
465
00:21:35,846 --> 00:21:37,286
Do I need to stick around for this?
466
00:21:37,314 --> 00:21:38,981
Well, it's better you stay,
if you don't mind.
467
00:21:39,015 --> 00:21:41,117
This guy Metcalf a criminal?
468
00:21:41,151 --> 00:21:42,485
A person of interest.
469
00:21:42,519 --> 00:21:45,121
Rollins,
"Dr. Michael Mandlebaum,
470
00:21:45,155 --> 00:21:46,489
Stanford University
Medical School."
471
00:21:46,523 --> 00:21:49,158
Huh, the guy definitely backstops.
472
00:21:54,264 --> 00:21:57,099
Hey, check this out.
473
00:21:57,134 --> 00:21:59,502
"My Mali Journey," Stephanie Dowling.
474
00:21:59,536 --> 00:22:01,137
I mean, he's got desperate moms
475
00:22:01,171 --> 00:22:02,972
submitting their kids work to him.
476
00:22:03,006 --> 00:22:05,508
Hmm, look. Look at that.
477
00:22:05,542 --> 00:22:06,863
"Alden, thanks for reading this.
478
00:22:06,877 --> 00:22:08,544
"Stephanie is a special young lady.
479
00:22:08,612 --> 00:22:10,880
"See you tomorrow afternoon
at the Strathmore.
480
00:22:10,947 --> 00:22:12,148
Can't wait. Erin."
481
00:22:12,182 --> 00:22:13,549
It sounds like another potential vic.
482
00:22:13,617 --> 00:22:15,885
What's the Strathmore?
A new luxury building in Soho.
483
00:22:15,952 --> 00:22:17,119
Prices start at 10 million.
484
00:22:17,154 --> 00:22:18,387
Oh, and Metcalf's got a place there?
485
00:22:18,455 --> 00:22:19,889
Sounds like another con.
486
00:22:19,956 --> 00:22:22,158
- When was that note sent?
- Yesterday. Today's the day.
487
00:22:22,192 --> 00:22:23,292
All right,
we might be able to stop this.
488
00:22:23,326 --> 00:22:24,326
I'll call Liv.
489
00:22:24,361 --> 00:22:27,163
_
490
00:22:27,197 --> 00:22:30,399
Erin Dowling's phone is still
going straight to her voicemail.
491
00:22:30,467 --> 00:22:32,001
Excuse me.
492
00:22:32,035 --> 00:22:34,336
Lieutenant Benson from SVU.
493
00:22:34,371 --> 00:22:36,338
Have you seen this man?
494
00:22:36,373 --> 00:22:37,573
Our tenants are very private.
495
00:22:37,641 --> 00:22:39,175
Is there something else
I can help you with?
496
00:22:39,209 --> 00:22:41,911
- It's an emergency.
- That's Mr. Kessler.
497
00:22:41,978 --> 00:22:43,312
Look, I just clocked in.
I haven't seen him.
498
00:22:43,346 --> 00:22:45,514
- He lives here?
- He stays in Mr. Zeng's place
499
00:22:45,549 --> 00:22:47,216
sometimes. 24B.
500
00:22:47,250 --> 00:22:48,984
What's going on?
501
00:22:56,493 --> 00:22:57,526
Oh, hey.
502
00:22:57,561 --> 00:22:59,528
Small world.
503
00:22:59,563 --> 00:23:01,530
Benson, right?
We met the other day.
504
00:23:01,565 --> 00:23:03,098
- Erin Dowling up there?
- Yeah.
505
00:23:03,166 --> 00:23:05,701
She's probably catching
her breath right about now.
506
00:23:05,735 --> 00:23:09,038
You know you got
a stupid smile, right?
507
00:23:09,072 --> 00:23:12,174
Are you threatening me, Detective?
508
00:23:12,209 --> 00:23:13,676
Let him go, Fin.
509
00:23:15,412 --> 00:23:18,080
And he's done this to other
prospective Hudson moms?
510
00:23:18,114 --> 00:23:21,617
Yes, he gets off on taking
advantage of anxious women.
511
00:23:21,685 --> 00:23:24,253
Look, I know
that this is traumatic...
512
00:23:24,287 --> 00:23:26,455
More like humiliating.
513
00:23:26,523 --> 00:23:28,691
My husband and I have spent
over a $1/2 million
514
00:23:28,725 --> 00:23:30,092
on our daughter's education.
515
00:23:30,126 --> 00:23:32,428
We want a return on our investment,
516
00:23:32,462 --> 00:23:37,032
but the college
admissions process is... brutal.
517
00:23:38,134 --> 00:23:41,036
My daughter's smart,
but normal smart,
518
00:23:41,071 --> 00:23:42,738
not prodigy smart,
519
00:23:42,772 --> 00:23:44,573
and she's not a minority,
520
00:23:44,608 --> 00:23:48,110
or an elite athlete, or violinist.
521
00:23:48,144 --> 00:23:50,713
- Okay, so where'd you meet him?
- The caf� on Hudson's campus.
522
00:23:50,747 --> 00:23:52,715
My daughter was there.
He approached me.
523
00:23:52,749 --> 00:23:55,284
And you thought he was
Alden Kessler till right now?
524
00:23:55,318 --> 00:23:56,385
Yes.
525
00:23:56,419 --> 00:23:59,421
I am so sorry, but I want you to know
526
00:23:59,456 --> 00:24:01,590
that we intend to prosecute this man
527
00:24:01,625 --> 00:24:03,392
for what he's done,
528
00:24:03,426 --> 00:24:06,095
and we hope that we can count
on you to cooperate.
529
00:24:06,129 --> 00:24:08,297
Are you joking?
530
00:24:08,331 --> 00:24:10,266
You want me to tell the world
that I was willing to sleep
531
00:24:10,300 --> 00:24:12,468
with the admissions director
to get my daughter into college?
532
00:24:12,502 --> 00:24:15,638
You didn't consent
to having sex with Tom Metcalf.
533
00:24:15,672 --> 00:24:17,006
He defrauded you.
534
00:24:17,073 --> 00:24:21,443
We were two adults playing a game,
and the hustler got hustled.
535
00:24:21,478 --> 00:24:23,112
Lesson learned.
536
00:24:24,681 --> 00:24:26,582
What now?
537
00:24:26,616 --> 00:24:31,020
Well, a crime was committed.
Process it like any other case.
538
00:24:31,087 --> 00:24:33,022
I'll call CSU.
539
00:24:35,191 --> 00:24:37,192
Well, sir, I appreciate
your cooperation.
540
00:24:37,260 --> 00:24:39,628
Thank you so much.
541
00:24:39,663 --> 00:24:43,332
That was the owner
of Metcalf's sex pad.
542
00:24:43,366 --> 00:24:45,134
By the way, it's cloudy in Hong Kong.
543
00:24:45,168 --> 00:24:47,136
- Does he know Metcalf?
- Never heard of him.
544
00:24:47,170 --> 00:24:48,537
Then how'd he get in that condo?
545
00:24:48,605 --> 00:24:49,672
Don't know.
546
00:24:49,706 --> 00:24:52,007
CSU find anything
in Zeng's apartment?
547
00:24:52,042 --> 00:24:54,543
Yeah, actually, something good.
548
00:24:54,611 --> 00:24:56,512
Our imposter...
549
00:24:56,546 --> 00:24:59,348
is a filmmaker, too.
550
00:25:03,453 --> 00:25:05,821
Showed compassion,breadth of experience...
551
00:25:05,855 --> 00:25:08,557
So you think it will
help her chances?
552
00:25:08,625 --> 00:25:11,060
I believe it will make hermore competitive
553
00:25:11,127 --> 00:25:13,829
and allow me to advocate
554
00:25:13,863 --> 00:25:15,531
more passionately on her behalf.
555
00:25:15,565 --> 00:25:16,665
Oh, we're not done.
There's more.
556
00:25:16,700 --> 00:25:18,033
Well...
557
00:25:18,068 --> 00:25:19,702
- Everything okay?- Yeah.
558
00:25:19,736 --> 00:25:23,038
Just, uh, Justin came in thirdat a cross country meet.
559
00:25:23,073 --> 00:25:25,341
He wants to go outto dinner to celebrate,
560
00:25:25,375 --> 00:25:29,812
so... I think I should go.
561
00:25:29,846 --> 00:25:31,580
The camera was hidden?
562
00:25:31,648 --> 00:25:34,183
He cut a hole in the dresser.
563
00:25:34,217 --> 00:25:35,538
You're sure Metcalf filmed this?
564
00:25:35,552 --> 00:25:38,187
CSU's running the camera
for prints, touch DNA,
565
00:25:38,221 --> 00:25:41,357
but he's clearly
the leader of the clubhouse.
566
00:25:41,391 --> 00:25:42,491
How many women are on that tape?
567
00:25:42,525 --> 00:25:43,826
Five, all mothers,
568
00:25:43,860 --> 00:25:46,695
all trying to help their kid
get into Hudson.
569
00:25:46,730 --> 00:25:48,210
Have you identified the other women?
570
00:25:48,231 --> 00:25:49,698
Yes, we have, everyone,
571
00:25:49,733 --> 00:25:53,202
but none of them are interested
in filing a complaint.
572
00:25:53,236 --> 00:25:54,870
- Understandable.
- Which is why he keeps doing
573
00:25:54,904 --> 00:25:56,538
- what he is doing.
- Well, he's revolting.
574
00:25:56,573 --> 00:25:59,408
There's no question, but the
victim isn't exactly perfect.
575
00:25:59,442 --> 00:26:01,276
I completely agree with you.
576
00:26:01,344 --> 00:26:03,245
She made a horrific decision,
577
00:26:03,279 --> 00:26:07,716
but this case is about
something bigger than Laura.
578
00:26:07,751 --> 00:26:11,086
How many more women are we gonna
let this guy victimize?
579
00:26:11,121 --> 00:26:15,424
I mean, win or lose, we need
to make a statement here.
580
00:26:15,458 --> 00:26:18,427
Okay.
You win.
581
00:26:18,461 --> 00:26:19,895
Pick him up.
582
00:26:21,598 --> 00:26:23,432
We're doing the right thing.
583
00:26:23,466 --> 00:26:25,734
I know.
584
00:26:25,769 --> 00:26:28,437
That's what I'm worried about.
585
00:26:34,482 --> 00:26:36,281
Yes, I had sex with these women,
586
00:26:36,316 --> 00:26:39,116
but I never recorded a damn thing.
587
00:26:39,118 --> 00:26:42,488
Mr. Metcalf, you can con
your desperate soccer moms,
588
00:26:42,522 --> 00:26:44,156
but you can't con us.
589
00:26:44,190 --> 00:26:46,625
- I never taped a damn thing.
- Okay, so who did?
590
00:26:46,659 --> 00:26:48,093
Mr. Zeng?
591
00:26:48,127 --> 00:26:49,995
What am I even doing here?
592
00:26:50,029 --> 00:26:51,530
I've done nothing wrong.
593
00:26:51,598 --> 00:26:53,098
Since when is having sex a crime?
594
00:26:53,132 --> 00:26:55,434
What you did isn't sex.
Trust me.
595
00:26:55,468 --> 00:26:57,436
If you arrested every guy
who ever lied to get women,
596
00:26:57,470 --> 00:26:59,037
you'd have 50 million men in prison.
597
00:26:59,105 --> 00:27:00,539
We're not here to debate
the ethics of your behavior,
598
00:27:00,607 --> 00:27:02,608
but we are willing to discuss a deal.
599
00:27:02,642 --> 00:27:04,510
If you are willing to plead guilty
600
00:27:04,544 --> 00:27:06,211
to sexual assault
in the third degree...
601
00:27:06,279 --> 00:27:09,114
Sexual assault? You kidding me?
602
00:27:09,148 --> 00:27:12,117
These chicks were begging for it.
If anything, they assaulted me.
603
00:27:12,151 --> 00:27:13,452
Yes or no?
604
00:27:13,486 --> 00:27:15,454
Kiss my ass.
605
00:27:15,488 --> 00:27:19,057
Mr. Metcalf, you are under arrest.
606
00:27:19,125 --> 00:27:21,326
You have the right to remain silent.
607
00:27:21,361 --> 00:27:22,661
Anything you say
608
00:27:22,695 --> 00:27:26,064
can and will be used
against you in a court of law.
609
00:27:26,132 --> 00:27:30,502
Okay, so this prosecutor's
gonna file rape charges?
610
00:27:30,537 --> 00:27:32,237
Yes.
611
00:27:32,305 --> 00:27:34,506
Hey, Justin.
612
00:27:34,541 --> 00:27:36,542
How you doing?
613
00:27:38,745 --> 00:27:41,580
Sorry, he's just...
he's having a hard time.
614
00:27:41,648 --> 00:27:43,715
- Understandable.
- He's just... he's terrified
615
00:27:43,750 --> 00:27:45,484
all of this is gonna become public,
616
00:27:45,518 --> 00:27:49,154
so...
617
00:27:49,188 --> 00:27:50,989
You think we can win this case?
618
00:27:51,024 --> 00:27:54,693
I think that we have
a pretty decent chance,
619
00:27:54,727 --> 00:27:58,230
and we are going to need you
to testify,
620
00:27:58,264 --> 00:27:59,665
to stand up there,
621
00:27:59,699 --> 00:28:04,603
tell that jury the depths
of Metcalf's deceit.
622
00:28:04,671 --> 00:28:07,105
It's just, you know,
my family, they're, um...
623
00:28:07,173 --> 00:28:09,441
they're ashamed, as you just saw.
624
00:28:09,509 --> 00:28:14,446
I mean, this Metcalf guy,
he... it's like he...
625
00:28:14,514 --> 00:28:18,083
he saw how weak and vulnerable
I was, you know?
626
00:28:18,117 --> 00:28:21,386
And he knew... he knew
how obsessed I was
627
00:28:21,421 --> 00:28:22,788
with getting Justin into Hudson.
628
00:28:22,855 --> 00:28:24,389
I understand.
629
00:28:24,424 --> 00:28:28,694
It's very easy to get lost
630
00:28:28,728 --> 00:28:30,462
in this private school madness.
631
00:28:30,530 --> 00:28:33,532
And he preys on every weakness
and... and doubt you possess.
632
00:28:33,566 --> 00:28:36,401
I just... I feel so stupid
633
00:28:36,436 --> 00:28:39,104
and pathetic.
634
00:28:39,138 --> 00:28:41,773
But what he did, I mean,
he... he made me hate myself
635
00:28:41,808 --> 00:28:44,776
even more than I do,
which is not easy.
636
00:28:49,282 --> 00:28:53,251
I want him to feel the humiliation
and pain that I felt.
637
00:28:56,289 --> 00:28:59,224
We're gonna do our best, Laura.
638
00:29:01,561 --> 00:29:04,096
- That I can promise you.
- Okay.
639
00:29:04,130 --> 00:29:07,165
_
640
00:29:07,233 --> 00:29:08,634
First off, there is no proof
641
00:29:08,668 --> 00:29:11,303
that my client actually
recorded these sex tapes.
642
00:29:11,337 --> 00:29:14,606
None. Moreover, Laura Collett is
the only woman on these tapes
643
00:29:14,641 --> 00:29:16,274
who's filed a police report.
644
00:29:16,309 --> 00:29:17,843
The other women
have not come forward,
645
00:29:17,910 --> 00:29:21,279
and they have refused to
cooperate with the prosecution.
646
00:29:21,314 --> 00:29:23,649
As such, these tapes are irrelevant,
647
00:29:23,683 --> 00:29:25,250
and without question,
648
00:29:25,284 --> 00:29:27,486
more prejudicial than probative.
649
00:29:27,520 --> 00:29:29,821
If the prosecution wants
to talk about sex tapes
650
00:29:29,856 --> 00:29:30,822
then they should charge my client
651
00:29:30,857 --> 00:29:32,357
with unlawful surveillance.
652
00:29:32,425 --> 00:29:34,192
- Don't worry, we intend to.
- That's great,
653
00:29:34,260 --> 00:29:35,861
but we're here to try a rape case.
654
00:29:35,928 --> 00:29:39,631
So the video pertaining
to Mrs. Collett is admissible.
655
00:29:39,666 --> 00:29:41,700
The rest of it stays out.
656
00:29:41,768 --> 00:29:43,869
Your Honor, there's a pattern
of conduct here...
657
00:29:43,936 --> 00:29:47,706
Like I said, Laura Collett is in.
658
00:29:47,774 --> 00:29:50,275
The other ladies are out.
659
00:29:58,284 --> 00:30:00,152
Being a prosecutor isn't enough.
660
00:30:00,186 --> 00:30:01,853
You want to be a legislator, too.
661
00:30:01,888 --> 00:30:04,122
Excuse me?
662
00:30:05,458 --> 00:30:07,392
Correct me if I'm wrong,
Mr. Barba,
663
00:30:07,460 --> 00:30:09,621
but your job is to bring cases
that are actually crimes
664
00:30:09,629 --> 00:30:10,796
under the New York Criminal Code.
665
00:30:10,830 --> 00:30:12,564
We presented the facts
to the grand jury,
666
00:30:12,632 --> 00:30:14,232
who delivered an indictment.
667
00:30:14,300 --> 00:30:16,168
I once indicted a ham
and cheese sandwich
668
00:30:16,202 --> 00:30:17,536
for triple homicide.
669
00:30:17,570 --> 00:30:19,490
Well, the defense filed
the motion to dismiss...
670
00:30:19,505 --> 00:30:21,355
You want me to kick a rape case
671
00:30:21,390 --> 00:30:24,574
in this political climate
without hearing all of the evidence?
672
00:30:26,312 --> 00:30:28,814
What's really going on here?
You want press?
673
00:30:28,848 --> 00:30:30,749
You're laying the bed
for a political run?
674
00:30:30,817 --> 00:30:32,417
With all due respect,
Judge Bertuccio,
675
00:30:32,485 --> 00:30:33,685
you're out of line.
676
00:30:33,720 --> 00:30:35,420
Oh, be careful, Counselor.
677
00:30:35,488 --> 00:30:36,809
Just because you preface something
678
00:30:36,823 --> 00:30:39,191
with "all due respect"
doesn't mean it's respectable.
679
00:30:39,225 --> 00:30:42,494
- I didn't intend to...
- Do not use my courtroom
680
00:30:42,528 --> 00:30:43,662
for your own agenda.
681
00:30:43,696 --> 00:30:45,731
Do you hear me?
682
00:30:45,765 --> 00:30:47,566
Are you asking me
to dismiss the case?
683
00:30:47,600 --> 00:30:48,600
No, no.
684
00:30:48,668 --> 00:30:49,868
I would never ask a prosecutor
685
00:30:49,869 --> 00:30:53,672
to dismiss a case that he believes
is worthy of the court's time.
686
00:30:53,706 --> 00:30:57,275
That would be an abuse
of judicial power.
687
00:31:01,589 --> 00:31:04,582
_
688
00:31:04,584 --> 00:31:06,952
Laura Collett met
the defendant on the campus
689
00:31:07,019 --> 00:31:09,287
of Hudson University.
690
00:31:09,355 --> 00:31:11,957
He pretended to be
a man named Alden Kessler,
691
00:31:12,024 --> 00:31:14,292
the Director of Admissions of Hudson.
692
00:31:14,360 --> 00:31:18,196
Laura and the defendant began
to communicate, socialize.
693
00:31:18,231 --> 00:31:19,564
Eventually, they had sex,
694
00:31:19,599 --> 00:31:21,800
but Laura Collett thought
695
00:31:21,868 --> 00:31:24,803
she was having sex
with Alden Kessler,
696
00:31:24,871 --> 00:31:27,205
a distinguished academic
from Philadelphia
697
00:31:27,240 --> 00:31:28,707
and a graduate of Harvard,
698
00:31:28,741 --> 00:31:30,642
not Tom Metcalf,
699
00:31:30,710 --> 00:31:34,279
an undistinguished security
guard from Ridgewood, Queens,
700
00:31:34,313 --> 00:31:36,815
and a graduate of
P.S. 346.
701
00:31:36,883 --> 00:31:40,485
As such, Laura Collett
never consented
702
00:31:40,553 --> 00:31:41,753
to having sex with the defendant.
703
00:31:41,788 --> 00:31:46,324
She consented to having sex
with Alden Kessler.
704
00:31:46,392 --> 00:31:47,993
This, ladies and gentlemen,
is not a lie.
705
00:31:48,060 --> 00:31:49,928
It's not a clever ruse.
706
00:31:49,962 --> 00:31:51,963
It's rape.
707
00:31:54,567 --> 00:31:59,337
My client, Tom Metcalf,
is an imaginative,
708
00:31:59,405 --> 00:32:01,940
fast-talking,
self-proclaimed ladies' man.
709
00:32:01,974 --> 00:32:05,310
Sure, he exaggerates and embellishes
710
00:32:05,344 --> 00:32:09,014
the facts and circumstances
of his humble, mediocre life.
711
00:32:09,081 --> 00:32:11,249
Not too long ago,
712
00:32:11,284 --> 00:32:13,685
guys like this were
called pickup artists
713
00:32:13,753 --> 00:32:15,821
or playboys.
714
00:32:15,855 --> 00:32:16,955
Today, in an attempt
715
00:32:16,989 --> 00:32:18,857
to gain media attention for himself
716
00:32:18,925 --> 00:32:21,526
and to advance his own personal,
717
00:32:21,594 --> 00:32:24,329
liberal, political agenda,
718
00:32:24,363 --> 00:32:28,500
Mr. Barba wants to
call them rapists.
719
00:32:32,471 --> 00:32:35,540
Laura, did you ever agree
to have sex with Tom Metcalf?
720
00:32:35,608 --> 00:32:37,042
No.
721
00:32:37,109 --> 00:32:38,543
I never would have
spent time with him,
722
00:32:38,611 --> 00:32:41,880
let alone...
have sex with him,
723
00:32:41,948 --> 00:32:43,548
if I knew who he really was.
724
00:32:43,616 --> 00:32:46,484
- Why?
- Because my only objective
725
00:32:46,519 --> 00:32:49,554
was to help my son get into Hudson.
726
00:32:49,622 --> 00:32:52,357
It was more of
a business transaction.
727
00:32:52,391 --> 00:32:54,025
Thank you.
728
00:32:54,060 --> 00:32:55,393
Nothing further.
729
00:32:55,461 --> 00:32:57,295
A business transaction?
730
00:32:57,330 --> 00:32:58,363
Like a prostitute?
731
00:32:58,397 --> 00:33:00,532
- Objection.
- Overruled.
732
00:33:00,566 --> 00:33:02,567
Answer the question.
733
00:33:04,904 --> 00:33:08,640
I didn't think of it like that.
734
00:33:08,674 --> 00:33:11,977
He didn't give me money, but...
735
00:33:12,011 --> 00:33:13,411
I suppose you're right.
736
00:33:13,479 --> 00:33:14,579
I was giving him sex,
737
00:33:14,647 --> 00:33:17,082
and he was giving me
something of value,
738
00:33:17,149 --> 00:33:18,817
immense value, in return.
739
00:33:18,851 --> 00:33:23,421
Again, I'm not...
I'm not proud of what I did.
740
00:33:23,489 --> 00:33:26,524
I was just trying to help my son,
741
00:33:26,559 --> 00:33:30,595
and I know...
I know this sounds silly, but...
742
00:33:30,663 --> 00:33:32,831
I dropped out of college
after two years,
743
00:33:32,865 --> 00:33:36,935
and I just... I just
wanted him to be better.
744
00:33:37,003 --> 00:33:40,906
I wanted him to enjoy
all the... all the things
745
00:33:40,940 --> 00:33:44,576
that a prestigious college
education offers.
746
00:33:44,610 --> 00:33:47,445
I was...
747
00:33:47,513 --> 00:33:49,614
willing to do anything.
748
00:33:49,682 --> 00:33:50,849
I mean, we have money
749
00:33:50,883 --> 00:33:53,518
but not enough to buy our way,
750
00:33:53,552 --> 00:33:57,756
so I... I thought...
I thought this would help.
751
00:33:57,790 --> 00:34:02,127
Using sex to influence a decision
that's meant to be based on merit?
752
00:34:02,194 --> 00:34:03,962
It's a hell of a way
to help your son.
753
00:34:04,030 --> 00:34:06,631
I think we get the idea,
Miss Staines. Move on.
754
00:34:06,699 --> 00:34:10,101
So, Mrs. Collett,
755
00:34:10,136 --> 00:34:13,571
minutes before you overdosed
on Valium and alcohol,
756
00:34:13,606 --> 00:34:16,808
you sent a text
to Mr. Metcalf saying,
757
00:34:16,876 --> 00:34:18,143
"Incredible night.
758
00:34:18,210 --> 00:34:19,945
"Just gonna say it.
759
00:34:19,979 --> 00:34:22,447
Best sex ever."
760
00:34:22,481 --> 00:34:25,984
But now you're saying you
didn't consent to having sex.
761
00:34:26,052 --> 00:34:29,721
I sent the text before
I knew who he was,
762
00:34:29,755 --> 00:34:31,723
and I was just
pretending I enjoyed it.
763
00:34:31,757 --> 00:34:34,592
So you lied?
764
00:34:34,627 --> 00:34:36,461
Yes.
765
00:34:36,495 --> 00:34:38,596
What else are you lying about,
Mrs. Collett?
766
00:34:38,631 --> 00:34:40,765
- Objection.
- Withdrawn.
767
00:34:40,800 --> 00:34:42,500
Nothing further.
768
00:34:43,970 --> 00:34:48,073
Laura, did you send the defendant
another text message that night?
769
00:34:48,107 --> 00:34:50,075
Yes, when I found out
770
00:34:50,109 --> 00:34:52,978
who he was,
771
00:34:53,012 --> 00:34:56,481
I texted him again.
772
00:34:56,515 --> 00:34:59,150
I said that he raped me
773
00:34:59,185 --> 00:35:01,920
and I hoped he burned in hell.
774
00:35:06,492 --> 00:35:08,126
The People rest.
775
00:35:11,864 --> 00:35:15,600
The Defense calls Gary Bell.
776
00:35:15,634 --> 00:35:17,469
Your Honor, may I approach?
777
00:35:22,608 --> 00:35:23,942
Gary Bell's not on the witness list.
778
00:35:23,976 --> 00:35:25,710
We have no idea who he is
or why he's being called.
779
00:35:25,778 --> 00:35:27,545
He's a doorman at the Strathmore.
780
00:35:27,613 --> 00:35:28,847
He just recently came forward.
781
00:35:28,881 --> 00:35:31,016
And what is the crux
of his testimony?
782
00:35:31,050 --> 00:35:35,186
That he heard Mrs. Collett
refer to Tom Metcalf as Tom,
783
00:35:35,221 --> 00:35:38,056
not Alden.
She knew who Metcalf was.
784
00:35:38,124 --> 00:35:39,891
After the third or fourth time
they had sex,
785
00:35:39,959 --> 00:35:40,892
Metcalf came clean.
786
00:35:40,960 --> 00:35:42,727
He told her who he really was,
787
00:35:42,795 --> 00:35:45,196
and she kept sleeping
with him anyway.
788
00:35:45,231 --> 00:35:47,866
So much for no consent.
789
00:35:50,803 --> 00:35:52,003
Metcalf says that
you knew his real name,
790
00:35:52,038 --> 00:35:53,571
that you had sex with him
three or four times.
791
00:35:53,639 --> 00:35:54,873
That's a lie!
792
00:35:54,907 --> 00:35:57,575
We had sex once, at the hotel,
and that is it,
793
00:35:57,643 --> 00:36:00,478
and I never... I never knew
his real name until that night.
794
00:36:00,513 --> 00:36:01,713
Why would I put myself
through all this
795
00:36:01,747 --> 00:36:03,882
if I knew who this pig really was?
796
00:36:03,916 --> 00:36:06,017
My son can barely look at me!
797
00:36:06,052 --> 00:36:07,919
My husband is going
to file for divorce.
798
00:36:07,987 --> 00:36:10,155
We believe you. We do.
799
00:36:10,189 --> 00:36:12,924
Now, do you remember seeing this man?
800
00:36:12,992 --> 00:36:15,493
Gary Bell, he was the doorman
at the building
801
00:36:15,528 --> 00:36:16,761
where you two had drinks one night.
802
00:36:16,829 --> 00:36:18,663
I don't know.
I don't know... maybe.
803
00:36:18,697 --> 00:36:22,667
What difference does it make?
I never called him Tom, ever.
804
00:36:26,272 --> 00:36:29,207
He's gonna get away with this, isn't he?
805
00:36:29,241 --> 00:36:31,042
This whole... this whole thing,
this whole case
806
00:36:31,077 --> 00:36:35,113
has been a big waste of time.
807
00:36:35,181 --> 00:36:37,282
Why did you tell me to testify?
808
00:36:49,283 --> 00:36:51,616
Okay, so what do we know
about this doorman?
809
00:36:51,651 --> 00:36:55,107
He and Metcalf went to the same high
school. Found the yearbook online.
810
00:36:55,411 --> 00:36:56,978
Here's a picture of them
together in shop class.
811
00:36:57,046 --> 00:36:59,614
So they know each other,
but why is he willing to lie for him
812
00:36:59,648 --> 00:37:02,116
and give him access
to a luxury condo?
813
00:37:02,151 --> 00:37:03,718
It's about more than friendship.
814
00:37:03,752 --> 00:37:06,454
I spoke with Bell's supervisor
at the last hotel he worked at...
815
00:37:06,488 --> 00:37:08,656
He was the night manager
at the Mapleton, right?
816
00:37:08,724 --> 00:37:11,659
Till he got fired for setting up
a camera in the women's restroom.
817
00:37:11,694 --> 00:37:14,095
Well, there you go.
He's a watcher.
818
00:37:14,130 --> 00:37:17,198
No wonder we never found any
sex tapes on Metcalf's computer.
819
00:37:17,266 --> 00:37:18,433
Because he wasn't filming the vics.
820
00:37:18,467 --> 00:37:19,701
His friend Bell was.
821
00:37:19,769 --> 00:37:22,370
Okay, but CSU said
that there were no prints
822
00:37:22,438 --> 00:37:24,272
and no evidence on that camera.
823
00:37:24,306 --> 00:37:27,842
Yeah, but the doorman
doesn't know that.
824
00:37:32,615 --> 00:37:34,449
I'm not sure what we're doing here.
825
00:37:34,483 --> 00:37:37,285
Mr. Bell's testimony
is not going to change.
826
00:37:37,319 --> 00:37:38,553
He heard what he heard.
827
00:37:38,621 --> 00:37:41,389
- And he filmed what he filmed.
- Sorry?
828
00:37:41,457 --> 00:37:44,526
You filmed your friend Metcalf
and his various victims having sex.
829
00:37:44,560 --> 00:37:45,693
I didn't film nothing.
830
00:37:45,728 --> 00:37:47,295
Your fingerprints were
all over the camera.
831
00:37:47,329 --> 00:37:48,630
You might as well
have autographed it.
832
00:37:48,664 --> 00:37:50,065
Unlawful surveillance is a felony.
833
00:37:50,132 --> 00:37:52,133
That means prison, and we'll be
filing those charges soon.
834
00:37:52,168 --> 00:37:54,135
The only question is...
835
00:37:54,170 --> 00:37:57,839
will I also be filing
perjury charges?
836
00:37:57,873 --> 00:38:01,242
You agreed to lie for Metcalf
because he threatened to out you
837
00:38:01,310 --> 00:38:03,711
for making those
illegal sex videos, right?
838
00:38:03,746 --> 00:38:06,414
But now that we know
about those videos too,
839
00:38:06,482 --> 00:38:08,550
you got no reason to lie for Metcalf.
840
00:38:08,584 --> 00:38:10,685
I'd err on the side
of telling the truth.
841
00:38:10,719 --> 00:38:13,855
Probably gonna be better for you
in the long run.
842
00:38:13,889 --> 00:38:16,658
- Maybe I misheard...
- No, no, stop talking.
843
00:38:18,360 --> 00:38:20,829
If, for some reason,
844
00:38:20,863 --> 00:38:24,265
my client thinks he made a mistake,
845
00:38:24,333 --> 00:38:25,733
you'll take that into account
when it comes time
846
00:38:25,768 --> 00:38:28,770
to plead out the illegal
surveillance charge?
847
00:38:30,506 --> 00:38:33,441
_
848
00:38:33,509 --> 00:38:36,177
Your Honor, the Defense no
longer plans to call Gary Bell.
849
00:38:36,212 --> 00:38:39,247
In fact, we don't intend
to call any witnesses.
850
00:38:39,281 --> 00:38:41,916
You're, uh, resting case
before presenting it?
851
00:38:41,951 --> 00:38:43,785
Correct.
852
00:38:43,853 --> 00:38:46,287
You wish to present a closing
argument, Miss Staines?
853
00:38:46,355 --> 00:38:47,555
Yes, Your Honor.
854
00:38:47,590 --> 00:38:51,593
Ladies and gentlemen,
my client isn't perfect.
855
00:38:51,627 --> 00:38:54,229
Truth is, he's not even decent.
856
00:38:54,263 --> 00:38:56,965
If he tried to date me,
I would laugh at him,
857
00:38:57,032 --> 00:38:58,766
or I'd punch him in the face.
858
00:38:58,801 --> 00:39:03,801
What I'm saying is,
he's disgusting, not a rapist.
859
00:39:05,307 --> 00:39:07,942
Mr. Metcalf is a sad,
frustrated man
860
00:39:07,977 --> 00:39:10,478
who longed for success
but never found it,
861
00:39:10,546 --> 00:39:14,249
so he creates characters in his mind,
862
00:39:14,283 --> 00:39:16,451
successful, respected characters,
863
00:39:16,485 --> 00:39:18,286
like an actor
864
00:39:18,320 --> 00:39:21,456
or an undercover detective might do,
865
00:39:21,490 --> 00:39:24,559
and in the course of assuming
these alternate identities,
866
00:39:24,593 --> 00:39:26,961
he meets lots of women
867
00:39:26,996 --> 00:39:29,464
and sometimes has sex with them.
868
00:39:29,498 --> 00:39:32,333
It's not an ethical or moral way
869
00:39:32,401 --> 00:39:34,502
to conduct one's romantic life,
870
00:39:34,570 --> 00:39:38,306
but it's not criminal, either.
871
00:39:38,340 --> 00:39:41,676
Mr. Barba wants this court
to pass judgment
872
00:39:41,744 --> 00:39:44,746
on my client for lying to women,
873
00:39:44,780 --> 00:39:47,482
but as of right now, being a jackass
874
00:39:47,516 --> 00:39:50,685
isn't a crime under New York law,
875
00:39:50,753 --> 00:39:52,987
which means that you, the jury,
876
00:39:53,022 --> 00:39:54,822
have a legal obligation
877
00:39:54,857 --> 00:39:58,860
to find Tom Metcalf not guilty.
878
00:40:02,932 --> 00:40:04,866
A compelling closing, Miss Staines.
879
00:40:04,934 --> 00:40:06,301
Thank you.
880
00:40:06,335 --> 00:40:10,705
And I'm sure the jury
found it persuasive, as well.
881
00:40:10,773 --> 00:40:12,273
How about you, Mr. Barba?
882
00:40:12,308 --> 00:40:14,008
What was your take?
883
00:40:14,043 --> 00:40:17,312
Did you find it illuminating,
per chance?
884
00:40:17,346 --> 00:40:19,547
Your Honor, I stand by the evidence.
885
00:40:19,615 --> 00:40:21,716
I don't care about the evidence.
886
00:40:21,784 --> 00:40:25,386
I care about the law,
or the lack thereof.
887
00:40:25,454 --> 00:40:27,555
You're a talented prosecutor
with a bright future,
888
00:40:27,623 --> 00:40:29,390
and if I were you,
I would take Miss Staines out
889
00:40:29,458 --> 00:40:30,625
for a cup of that gourmet coffee
890
00:40:30,659 --> 00:40:32,360
everyone drinks nowadays
891
00:40:32,394 --> 00:40:36,331
and beg her to accept the plea
to a lesser charge,
892
00:40:36,365 --> 00:40:39,701
which I'm sure she'll accept,
because she's a reasonable woman
893
00:40:39,735 --> 00:40:44,038
and knows that her client
is a repulsive human being.
894
00:40:44,073 --> 00:40:46,741
Judges and prosecutors
are supposed to enforce the laws
895
00:40:46,809 --> 00:40:49,410
that exist, not the ones
they think should exist,
896
00:40:49,478 --> 00:40:51,846
and when they lose sight of that,
897
00:40:51,880 --> 00:40:54,349
they run the risk of getting
their pants pulled down
898
00:40:54,383 --> 00:40:59,383
in public and having their
sterling reputations sullied.
899
00:41:02,825 --> 00:41:05,059
Criminal impersonation
in the second degree?
900
00:41:05,094 --> 00:41:06,861
That's a misdemeanor.
It's the best I could do.
901
00:41:06,895 --> 00:41:09,364
Bertuccio was prepared
to overturn the verdict.
902
00:41:09,398 --> 00:41:10,565
Wait, he said that?
903
00:41:10,599 --> 00:41:13,735
In so many words.
904
00:41:13,769 --> 00:41:16,004
- Have you told Laura?
- No.
905
00:41:16,038 --> 00:41:18,740
I called her a few times,
but I don't know where she is.
906
00:41:18,774 --> 00:41:21,009
Okay, I'll find her.
907
00:41:21,043 --> 00:41:23,511
Break the news to her in person.
908
00:41:30,386 --> 00:41:31,686
What happened?
909
00:41:31,720 --> 00:41:35,556
Mr. Collett, is it Laura?
910
00:41:35,591 --> 00:41:37,525
Watch him.
911
00:41:37,559 --> 00:41:39,093
Excuse me.
Coming through.
912
00:41:39,128 --> 00:41:41,863
Oh, no, my baby!
913
00:41:41,897 --> 00:41:43,865
Oh, my baby!
914
00:41:43,899 --> 00:41:45,633
Oh, no!
915
00:41:57,546 --> 00:41:59,814
No!
916
00:42:07,398 --> 00:42:09,399
