All language subtitles for Depp.V.Heard.S01E01.WEBRip.x264-ION10

This programme contains
very strong language

and allegations of domestic violence

that some viewers
may find upsetting.

You don't have to direct
Johnny Depp.

Amber!

Johnny Depp.

He's one of Hollywood's biggest
and most successful stars.

Actors Johnny Depp and
Amber Heard...

Hundreds of miles away from the
glitz and glamour of Hollywood...

Johnny Depp's defamation trial

against his ex-wife, Amber Heard, is
set to start in Northern Virginia.

Just in case you've got lost in
the soap opera,

a $50 million claim by

Johnny Depp that Amber Heard
defamed him.

She wrote a 2018 op-ed in
The Washington Post referring

to herself as a public figure
representing domestic abuse.

Depp and his legal team say that
Heard is outright lying

and that those lies have devastated
his career.

Heard countersued for 100 million
in damages,

alleging the actor's legal
team tried

to defame her by calling her claims
a hoax.

Neither Depp nor Heard live or work
here in Virginia, but

because The Washington Post has
servers here

and a printer here in Virginia,

Fairfax County residents are gonna
decide their fate

in this $50 million case.

All right.

Everybody.

Right now, I am on my way

to the Fairfax County courthouse
to get into line.

Day one of the Johnny Depp trial.

There's gonna be 100 spectators

and it's gonna be a mix of media
and just civilians,

you know, supporters, fans.

Johnny Depp!

I hear it's first come,
first served,

so gotta be there bright and early.

Oh, wait, I got a...

Perfect.

Oh, OK, I'm going for it.
I love you guys. Pass it along.

Let's flip it up so you guys can
see. Good morning! Good morning!

How are we feeling, line?
CHEERING

You know what to do.
Hashtag #RespectForTheLine.

Justice for the line.

OK, so if you're like
official media, you have

to be on that side of the street,
right?

If you're like just a fan,
you can be over here.

So I can kinda get like
a closer look at Johnny.

Johnny Depp is suing his ex-wife,
Amber Heard,

for $50 million in damages,
claiming she defamed him.

Welcome back.
We're getting a closer look into

the lives of Hollywood's elites
as part of

the defamation lawsuit between
A-lister Johnny Depp

and ex-wife Amber Heard.

Here's what we've got so far.

Depp is suing Heard in
a $50 million defamation suit,

based on a Washington Post op-ed
written by Heard.

I know lots of people are talking
about this,

I know there's lots of live streams
happening, so...

You can go watch the trial yourself
and make your own opinions of it.

It's online, you can go to YouTube
right now and watch it.

Johnny, we love you!

Today is a different kind of show

because we are going to be watching

the opening statements in
the Johnny Depp, Amber Heard case,

and going through them
with commentary.

All right. So I got my spectator
pass and that is awesome.

OK. So we're up here
on the fifth floor,

that's where his trial's
taking place.

Not supposed to be on our phones,

definitely not supposed
to be recording up here.

There's no Amber Heard fans,
it's only,

it's only Johnny Depp fans.

Nobody's there for Amber.

What's up, guys?
Welcome to Lawsplaining,

and I hope you are ready.

This is one of

the first high-profile Me Too
defamation cases that's

making it into a courtroom.

That is huge news.

Hey, there we are.
There's the man himself.

Johnny D. That's a nice tie!
I like that tie.

All right. We're ready for the jury?
Yes, Ma'am. OK, great.

So how is it that Court TV

and other stations are even allowed

to broadcast this trial?

Why do we have such crazy
access into

the Fairfax County courthouse?
In Virginia,

that decision is solely up to
the judge

and the judge in this case signed an
order permitting

a pool camera to broadcast
the trial.

Ladies and gentlemen,
we're going to go over

the responsibilities you have as
jurors, OK, in this case.

Right, so you're not to read, watch
or listen

to anything about this case on any
social networking sites.

What you learn about this case
is limited

to what you learn in the four walls
of this courtroom, OK?

Are we ready with
opening statements?

The judge is asking for Johnny
Depp's attorney's opening statement.

I'm going to cut to a full screen,
but I will chime in

with some commentary if there are
some breaks.

But here we go live on
Popcorned Planet, here in Virginia.

Good morning.
ATTENDEES: Good morning.

This is a defamation case.

It's a case about how devastating
words can be when they are false

and uttered publicly.

For nearly 30 years,

Mr Depp built a reputation as one of

the most talented actors
in Hollywood.

Today his name is associated with

a lie uttered by his former wife,

the defendant, Amber Heard.
Specifically,

the words that she used,

published in The Washington Post

in December 2018.

Quote - "Two years ago,

"I became a public figure
representing domestic abuse.

"I had the rare vantage point
of seeing in real time

"how institutions protect men
accused of abuse."

Miss Heard did not use
Mr Depp's name in the op-ed.

She didn't have to.

Two years earlier,

Miss Heard had publicly accused
Johnny Depp of domestic abuse.

Amber, did Johnny give you that
bruise on your face?

Johnny Depp, accused of domestic
abuse in his

sudden split from actress
Amber Heard.

Did Johnny brutalise you?

In the wake of the Me Too movement,

Amber Heard forever changed
Mr Depp's life

and reputation.

This trial is about clearing
Mr Depp's name of

a terrible and false allegation.

All right. Thank you.

Mr Rottenborn.

May I approach?
Yes, sir.

Good morning, everyone.
ATTENDEES: Good morning.

Mr Depp's team is gonna
try to turn this case into

a soap opera.

Why? I'm not really sure,

because the evidence isn't pretty
for Mr Depp. It's not.

You're gonna see who
the real Johnny Depp is.

Behind the fame,
behind the pirate costume,

the man who has described himself,

the violent side of himself,
as the monster.

The monster.

You don't see The Washington Post
sitting here as

the defendant in this courtroom.
He only sued Amber.

He could have sued
The Washington Post,

they published the article,
but he didn't.

And he chose to bring Amber
to court here in Virginia,

where she has no ties,
has never lived,

he's never lived,
where they never spent any time.

Because he wanted
to ruin her life.

To haunt her.

To wreck her career.

It's not about

the soap opera that Depp will turn
this case into.

It's not about who you like better.

It's not even about whether you
agree with

the words that she wrote.

It's about her right to speak them.

Johnny Depp has one of
the most brilliant legal teams

and if you need proof of that I've
got a word for you - Virginia.

Why would two celebrities
from California,

arguing about something written in
The Washington Post,

file a case in Virginia? In the USA,
defamation laws vary state by state,

and Virginia has some of the best
defamation laws

for a matter like this.

Just so we're on the same page,
this is not a divorce case.

This is not a domestic
violence case.

I would argue it's
a PR campaign disguised as

a defamation case.

I don't think Johnny's intention is
to win the case here.

I think his intention is
to clear his name

and to control his reputation.

There is no PR campaign that has
a chance of making

an impact as powerful as
this trial.

Depp was the one who wanted
the cameras in the courtroom.

Oh, really? She didn't.

Your first witness. Your Honour,
we'd like to call

Laura Amber Heard to the stand.
All right.

Will you please state your name?

Yes, it's Amber Laura Heard.

OK. Now, why are you here?

I am here because my ex-husband is

suing me for an op-ed I wrote.

And how do you feel about that?

I, erm...

I struggle to have the words.

I struggle to find the words
to describe how,

er, painful this is.

Erm, this is horrible.

OK? Yes, Ma'am. Good afternoon,
Mr Depp.

Good afternoon.

Can you please tell
the jury why you're here today?

Erm, yes. Erm...

..about six years ago,

Miss Heard made some quite heinous
accusations against me that, er,

that were not based in any
species of truth.

The infamous People magazine cover
with Miss Heard with a...

a dark bruise on her face.

Nothing of the kind had
ever happened,

though there were...

erm, arguments.

But never...did I myself reach
the point of, erm,

striking Miss Heard in any way,

nor have I ever struck,
erm, any woman.

Please describe for the jury
your experience

in auditioning for The Rum Diary.

Well, I auditioned a few times,

which is common in my work,

and then I got a call saying that
Johnny wanted

to meet me in person.

I thought I would be going
for maybe an audition,

but it was just a meeting.
I went to his office

and, and met with him for
a few hours.

She came to my office,
I took one look at her,

and I thought,
"Yep, that's the one."

That's when I first met Miss Heard.

We talked about books and
music, poetry.

We like a lot of the same...
We liked a lot of the same stuff.

I was so surprised that
somebody, you know,

I'm a no-name actor,
I was 22, I think,

and he was twice my age
and he's this world-famous actor

and here we are getting along about

old blues and I thought it was
unusual and remarkable.

I left there just feeling like, wow.

I remember there was a scene where
I was taking a shower

and then she comes into the room
and she walks,

opens the shower and we kiss.

It felt like something that
I shouldn't be feeling.

There are certain things that you do
in the job to,

erm, be professional,

like when you have
to do that sort of scene.

And you don't, like...

you don't use your tongue, if you
can, if you can avoid it.

There are certain things that you do
to just maintain a certain line

and it just felt like those lines
were blurred.

I mean, he grabbed my face

and pulled me into him
and really kissed me.

Did he use his tongue?

Yes.

That day after...

work, Miss Heard had
come to my trailer.

He kind of playfully kind of pushed
me down on this like bed/sofa

that was in his trailer.
Just playful,

erm, and flirtatious,
and he said, "Yum!"

Meeting an actress like Amber Heard,

she's of another era, you know.

I mean, it's like
walking into a room

and meeting Veronica Lake
or Bette Davis or,

you know, Lauren Bacall.

I called her Slim.

I called her Slim

and she called me Steve.

What do you think you're gonna do?

I'm gonna get that wallet, Slim.

You know, Steve,

I wouldn't put it past you.

My God, when Humphrey Bogart
and Lauren Bacall,

that's when they met on that film,

he was 45 years old,
and she was 19.

What did you do that for?

I've been wondering whether
I'd like it.

What's the decision?

I don't know yet.

They stayed together until
Bogart passed away.

So, I acknowledged the,

the fact that I was
the old craggy Bogie,

and she was this...

beautiful creature.

Just this stunning creature.

It was a beautiful place,
a beautiful time.

And...

I fell head over heels in love
with this man.

She seemed to be
the perfect partner.

Literate, sweet, funny.

She was, she was wonderful.

Hello, everybody.
Welcome to Darth News.

This is gonna be a Day 1 recap.
I was in the courtroom,

I was sitting there, live in person,

so I'm just gonna give you
my first-hand account.

I'm not a legal scholar, I'm not
a lawyer, I do this for fun,

but I have like a dog in the fight
because I actually give

a fuck about Johnny Depp...

and men's rights.

Amber! Amber! Amber!

Johnny! Johnny!

Can you describe your relationship
with Mr Depp?

Do you remember the first time that
he physically hit you?

Yes. Please tell the jury about it.

SHE SIGHS

I will never forget it.
It changed my life.

I was sitting on the couch,

and I ask him about
the tattoo he has on his arm.

I didn't know what it said,

it just looked like a muddled,
faded tattoo that was hard to read.

Well, the, erm...

what... A tattoo which used to say,

"Winona Forever," who was
a former girlfriend,

Winona Ryder, and, er,
when we broke up,

I took off the last two letters
and had it say, "Wino Forever."

I didn't see that,
I thought he was joking,

because it didn't look like it said
that at all and I laughed.

And he slapped me across the face.

I just stared at him,
kind of laughing still,

thinking that he was gonna start
laughing too

to tell me it was a joke.
But he didn't.

He said, "You think it's so funny.
You think it's funny, bitch.

"You think you're a funny bitch."
And he slapped me again.

Hard.

I was just sitting there
looking at the dirty carpet,

wondering why I never noticed that
the carpet was so filthy before

and I just didn't know what else
to do. I didn't know what to say,

I didn't know how to react,
because, God, did he just hit me?

Mr Depp, what is your response
to that?

It...

It didn't... It didn't happen. I...

have never struck Miss Heard.

I wish I could sit here
and say I stood up

and I walked out of that house
and I drew a line

and I stood up for myself.

I was just looking at
the...dirty carpet,

trying to will myself to get up.

I was...heartbroken.

She's acting.

She's lying.

Will you please state your name
for the record?

Whitney Henriquez.

And you're Amber's sister?

I am.

Describe your relationship
with Mr Depp in the early stages.

We got along really well
at first. Erm,

he was sober at the time and
Johnny, when he's sober,

is very bright and beautiful

and lovely and kind and generous,

and he was very easy to get to know

and frankly, we all fell in love
with him...at first.

But very quickly this
pattern emerged

as their relationship went on,

that if Johnny was using
or if he was drinking

there was almost always a fight.

Johnny, when sober, was lovely
and magical and very funny.

Cocaine and any kind of alcohol...

would bring out a very,
very ugly side of him.

Erm, very misogynistic and cruel.

He was almost unrecognisable when he
was drinking

and using to an excess.
He would just get very angry,

and he would just say really
horrible things about her.

He would weave these elaborate
situations in which

Amber was having affairs

with every man that she ever
worked with

and every woman she ever came in
contact with.

He became very demeaning. You know,

she has no talent
and when her tits start to sag,

and her face gets wrinkly nobody
is gonna be interested in her.

He called her a fucking used-up
trash bag.

Er, slimy whore, saggy whore.

You know, "fucking cunt,"
was thrown out a bunch.

Just horrible things like that.

HEAVY THUD
Ah!

Motherfucker! Motherfucker!
What happened?

DOORS SLAM

Nothing happened this morning,
you know that?

ON VIDEO: All I did was say sorry.
Did something happen

to you...
CLATTERING

..this morning? I don't think so.

No. That's the thing.

You wanna see crazy?
I'll give you fucking crazy.

Here's crazy.

Oh, you're crazy. You're crazy.

Have you drunk this whole thing
this morning?

Oh, you've got this going.
You've got this going?!

I just started it.
Oh, really? Really?

So she's trying to record him
without him even knowing that.

Why did you videotape this, Amber?

Yeah, good question.

Cos I knew he...wouldn't remember.

Objection. Cause for speculation.
Sustained.

When somebody breaks something in
anger in your presence,

that is legally an act of abuse.

And he is, he's... Look at him,
I mean, he's kicking stuff,

he's slamming stuff,
he's breaking stuff.

She's like, "Hey, what's going on?"

And here, I know he wasn't
hitting her,

but he was doing some very
aggressive things

and directly in her presence.

And if she's coming in
and saying like "Well, hey,

"here's this confrontation
that happened.

"I was intimidated by it, I felt
this was an act of abuse,"

then she can give her opinion that,
"I was in an abusive relationship."

I'm not, you know, trying to defend
her and say it,

but I'm just saying, you know,
it's, it's a huge problem for him.

Morning, Mr Depp.

Morning, Mr Rottenborn.

Mr Depp, we've talked about
this a little bit,

but you've testified that abuse can
come in many forms.

Correct?
Physical being one of them.

Indeed.

Verbal. Indeed.

Psychological abuse. Indeed.

And you would agree that you were
violent in that clip. Correct?

Erm, clearly,
I was having a bad time.

I felt what was most interesting is
that she tried

to hide it from me
and then that she laughed

and smiled at the end.

I thought that was the most
interesting part, myself.

So, yes, I, I did assault,
erm, a couple of cabinets,

but I did not touch Miss Heard.
As you can see, I think, you know.

And you may have been drunk in that
video, correct?

There's a possibility of that,
yes, sir.

You, you, you poured yourself a,

erm, a megapint of red wine.
Correct?

A megapint?
LAUGHTER

Yeah.

I poured myself
a large glass of wine.

Right. I thought it necessary.

Wait for it.

SCREAMS

ECHOES: A megapint?

ECHOES: I poured myself
a large glass of wine.

A megapint?

The lawyer conducting Johnny
Depp's cross-examination said,

"We saw you pour a, sort of..."
Johnny Depp says, "A megapint."

The lawyer says, "A megapint
of red wine,

"which is not everybody's choice
for breakfast, is it?"

That's Amber.

CHEERING AND BOOING

All she needs to prove
is that he abused her.

I say "all" but either
she's making everything up

or there's been abuse.

CHEERING

It's not only social media,
but when his SUV pulls up at court,

no matter what Amber Heard alleges,

there's a crowd out there who
are just gobsmacked by Johnny Depp.

Johnny! Johnny!

Remember, none of us were there.

With us, it's who do we believe?

But never, ever forget,

we were not there.

Good morning, Mr Depp.

Good morning.

Mr Depp, I'd like to discuss
April 2016 now. Erm...

Hmm.

Well, take a look at this gem in
the historic core of Downtown LA,

this is the Eastern
Columbia Building,

one of the most prestigious places

to live in Downtown Los Angeles.

Johnny Depp owned five
penthouses here,

this Art Deco gem at
the corner of Broadway and 9th.

My birthday was coming up
and we had a dinner planned

at our penthouse.

He told me at some point that day
that he had scheduled

a business meeting,

or a money meeting,
I think he said, maybe.

I was about an hour and 40 minutes
late maybe, something like that.

Mr Depp, when you arrived at
the party,

how did Miss Heard greet you,
if at all?

Very cold.

It was a big deal to you that
Mr Depp was late

to your birthday dinner, wasn't it?

Yeah. Yeah, it did matter to me.

And you were upset he was late?

I was. I was hurt.

She squared off at me in
the doorway of our bedroom.

I, I remember him blocking the door,
blocking me to get out,

kind of shoving me down
and we had a,

you know, a verbal argument,
and then that became

a shoving match.
I tried to shove him back.

And I said, "Go ahead, hit me."

Bam.

THEY LAUGH
Movie scene.

And I just said,

"Is that what you wanted?
Would you like another?"

I wanna hug this man.

Bam.

There's the second one.
And I said, "Good.

"Now you're done."
Grabbed her by the shoulders,

walked her to the bed,
sat her down and said...

"Don't follow me, leave me alone.
I'm out, I'm gone."

Johnny wrestled me down on the bed.

I remember I got up once or twice
before I ended up on

the bed and he grabbed me, erm,

did this thing that he did sometimes
when he would taunt me.

He grabbed me by the...

erm, the pubic...bone,

just pushed me down,

held me down by it and kind of
pulled me into it and,

erm, was kind of taunting me,

asking me if I thought I was
so fucking tough.

"You think you're such a fucking
tough guy, huh?

"Are you so tough now? Look who's so
tough. You wanna be a man?"

It's insane...

to hear heinous accusations
of violence,

sexual violence,

that she's attributed to me,
that she's accused me of.

But he's saying,
"We're fucking done here.

"We're divorcing, this is over."
And then at 4.30am, on April 22nd,

which is Amber's birthday,
he left Amber.

Yes, he leaves Amber like

for "good" quote, unquote,
on her birthday.

What a savage.

# Go, go

# Go, Johnny, go, go... #

My friends, this is the
patriarchy at work.

Heard's being called a whore,
a gold digger,

a crazy bitch, manipulative,
a monster.

He is being given empathy

and forgiveness
for his transgressions

in a way Heard is not.

It's victim blaming at its finest.

This is why people don't
report abuse.

So far, who do you believe in this
story here?

I kind of believe both of 'em.

OK. They're on the stand,
they're under oath. Yeah.

They're not allowed to lie

and if they caught in a lie,
it's big trouble.

In terms of it being public,

well, that's, er, that's showbiz,
isn't it?

The day after your birthday dinner,
you and your friends went
to Coachella

to celebrate your birthday.
Is that correct?

That is correct.

You featured in that
video, driving.

That's correct.

I had gone to one of my
security team and said,

"She's in Coachella.

"I think it's a good time
to go Downtown

"so that I can get some of my
things, you know."

And he said, "I don't think now's
a good time to go."

Ah. And I thought,
"It's the perfect time,

"she's not gonna be home
for two days."

And then he showed me
a photograph on his telephone.

What was the photograph of, Mr Depp?

Poop! Say it. Poop!

It was a... It was, err...

THEY LAUGH

It was a photograph of the bed

and on my side of the bed...

..erm...

was human faecal matter.

THEY GIGGLE

He knows how fucking stupid it is.

My initial response to that,

that some human being had actually

dropped a, erm...
CLEARS THROAT

..grumpy onto the bed...

..it was so bizarre.

VLOGGERS LAUGH

..and so grotesque...

..that I could only laugh.

If you raise your right hand for me.

Do you swear firm to tell
the truth under penalty of law?

I do. Right. Thank you sir.

Mr Jenkins,

do you know the plaintiff in this
case, Johnny Depp?

Yes, I do. Were you also going to
Coachella with Miss Heard?

Yes, I was. I was the
transportation for Amber

and her friends while she was
at Coachella.

And did you have any discussions
with Miss Heard on

the way to Coachella that evening?

We had a conversation pertaining to
the surprise she left in

the boss's bed prior to leaving
the apartment.

And what did Miss Heard say about
the defecation in Mr Depp's bed?

A horrible practical joke
gone wrong.

Did you commit any kind of prank?

Absolutely not.

First of all, I don't think
that's funny.

Period. That's disgusting.

Er, and she tried
to blame it on the dogs.

What, if any, issues did Boo have

with her bathroom problems,
if you will? Oh, they're
disparaging the dog.

Johnny's dog, at, at the time, Boo,

she had eaten Johnny's weed
when she was

a puppy and had
bowel control issues.

Why didn't you think it could
have been the dogs?

They're teacup Yorkies.
They weigh about 4lbs each.

It was clear that did not
come from a dog.

That's probably one of the first
times that he really realised

the depths of how fucking
insane that she was.

It was shown on the record
that Depp sent this text.

Quote, "Will you squat in front of
the door of the master bedroom

"and leave a giant coil of dookie
so that Amber steps in it

"and thinks that one of the dogs,
primarily Boo has a major problem.

"It'll be funny."

On the 29th of October, 2014,

Miss Heard wrote in a text message

to Kevin Murphy that quote,
"Last night, she..." as in Boo,

"shit on Johnny while he
was sleeping, like all over him,

"not exaggerating."

Again, public record.

Mr Depp, why did you go over to
the penthouses on May 21st, 2016?

Miss Heard had requested

that I come over to have a talk.

I went over there
with my security team,

Jerry Judge and Sean Bett,
just in case anything went down.

Good morning, Mr Bett.

Good morning.

Do you see this on your screen,
Mr Bett?

I do.

That's you in that black
and white shirt, right?

That's me.

That's Mr Depp in the hat
and that's Mr Judge to his left?

Correct.

This video is when you're entering
the Eastern Columbia Building

to take him to Penthouse 3,
correct?

That's correct.

Johnny and I had not seen
each other for

the better part of a month.

I mean, I could tell he
was inebriated

but it was peaceful.

And then he starts talking about
the faeces again,

and this prank that he said
one of my friends had left

for him in my bed.

Our marriage was falling apart
in front of our eyes,

we hadn't seen each other for
a month,

and I couldn't believe he wanted
to talk about faeces.

So, I call this friend,

thinking that we'll take care of it,
and I say...

Tell us who that person is. Io.

She put me on speaker phone.

She said, "Johnny thinks that you
and I, together,

"defecated on his pillow."

So I started laughing

and he got very agitated by
the fact that she

and I thought it was funny.

And when I realised that
he was serious,

I was like, "OK, look,

"you know, first of all I wasn't
there that day."

It just made Johnny madder.
He got more upset,

grabbed the phone

and started screaming expletives,
insulting names.

And I said to Io,
"You can have her now,

"she's yours, she's all yours."
Right?

He tosses the, the phone, you know,

down on the couch
and heads upstairs.

And I pick up the phone,
Io said, "Amber,

"get out of the house,
get out of the house now,

"you're not safe."

Johnny came bolting down the stairs,

grabbed the phone from my hand,

just pulls his arm back with
the phone

and throws it at my face.

Hit me right in my,
it felt like my, my eye.

I was by the refrigerator at this
point, I was 20 feet away.

Where was Miss Heard at that time?

She was still sitting on the couch.

He comes over to me,
erm, as I'm crying,

he says, "Oh, yeah, I hit you, huh?

"What if I pull your hair back?
What if I pull your hair back?"

He said to her,

"Oh, you think I hit you?

"You think I fucking hit you?

"What if I peel your fucking
hair back?"

And then I heard the phone drop
again and then I heard her scream.

She's still got Io on the phone,

and that's when
the screaming started.

"Stop hitting me, Johnny,"
she's screaming,

in, in her best, erm...

freaked out, upset voice,
high-pitched.

We could hear this screaming

and shouting from Miss Heard,
so I immediately opened up

the door and Mr Judge
and I ran in there.

The next thing I hear is,
"Boss. Boss." And I realise

that his two security guards had
come into the, to the apartment.

She had this look
of surprise on her face

and then she looked at Mr Depp
and us

and she shouted out loud,

"This is the last time
you do this to me."

"That's the last time
you'll ever hit me.

"That's the last time you'll ever
do that to me."

And again, I'm, I'm a good
20 feet away, by the fridge.

At which point Mr Depp looked at her
and said,

"What the hell are you
talking about?"

I remember her screaming.

And I hung up the phone,
and I called 911.

KNOCKING

Officers, how you doing?

We're just coming in to check.

We need to make sure everybody
in here is OK.

Why didn't you want to cooperate
with the police?

Because I, I...

I wanted to protect Johnny.

I didn't want him to be arrested.

She's out back.

All right.

My best friend took pictures of me.

This is my face after
the phone incident.

Did you have a clear view
of Miss Heard?

I did. Did you have a clear view
of her face? I did.

Did you observe any injuries on
Miss Heard's face?

None.

Johnny Depp's soon-to-be ex-wife
has received

a domestic violence restraining
order against the movie star.

Amber Heard presented this
photograph in court as evidence of

the alleged domestic violence.

Hey, Amber.

Amber, did Johnny give you that
bruise on your face?

Did Johnny beat you up?

I saw that she had gone to a court

and there were paparazzi everywhere
and her...

a...erm, a mark on her face.

Have you ever been accused
of physically abusing

a woman before this point?

No.

No.

The fact that she's on tape
admitting

to hitting Johnny Depp,

for her to have written this op-ed

for The Washington Post and

essentially propped herself up

as a figurehead in

the Me Too movement so to speak.
Right.

Yeah, it...I think you, you just
feel really betrayed.

It's so triggering to
so many people.

As a victim and a survivor of
domestic violence,

even though it's sexist, you do
wanna kind of back the female.

But so far, I feel like
she was more the aggressor.

Look, they can both be wrong.
Amber can be awful,

you can totally believe that,

but we can't use that as
a reason for Johnny Depp

to be absolved of the
clearly awful things

that he has done.

All right. Cross examination.

Cross examination. Here we go.

Good afternoon, Miss Heard.

Good afternoon.
Starting out respectful.

Mr Depp hasn't looked at you once
this entire trial, has he?

Ooh! No, he has not.

Not that I've noticed, no.

You know exactly why Mr Depp won't
look back at you, don't you?

I do.

One of the last times you ever saw
Mr Depp was when you met him in

San Francisco in July of 2016.

And this is after you had obtained

the domestic violence restraining
order against him.

That's correct.

Oh, right into audio.

That's you and Mr Depp in
that recording.

That is. And he kept that promise,
hasn't he?

As far as I know,
he cannot look at me.

He cannot.

He won't look at you, right,
Miss Heard? He can't.

Let's please play
Plaintiff's Exhibit 357A,

which is already in evidence,
Your Honour.

That's your voice on that
recording right?

Yes, it is. You didn't think he
would tell the world he was

a victim of domestic violence,
did you?

I thought it would be crazy
for him to do so,

knowing what I know
we lived through.

What did you say in response when
Miss Heard said,

"Tell the world, Johnny.
Tell them, Johnny Depp,

"I'm a victim too
of domestic violence"?

I said, "Yes. I am."

Miss Heard, Mr Depp is your victim,
isn't he?

No, Ma'am.

And once he left you,

you continued to abuse him publicly
by calling him

an abuser, didn't you?

He is an abuser

and you can look either
of us up online

and figure out who's being
abused online.

ANGRY SHOUTING

Amber Turd! Amber Turd!

This is a battle of optics.

This is not so much about

the legal merits but rather what
the public perception is.

If you just look at public opinion,
no-one really believes Amber Heard.

HE PRETENDS TO SOB

I don't buy it for a...
Do you buy this?!

The hashtag #JusticeForJohnnyDepp
has more than 4 billion views

on TikTok. It seems the internet
has made up

its mind without this court case
even coming to a close. Wow.

SCREAMING

Ah.

Yeah. Amber's fucked.
