00:00:30Hi, Mom.
00:01:00Transcription by CastingWords
00:01:30Hey, how's it going?
00:01:35Good, thanks.
00:01:36See you.
00:01:37Tom.
00:01:4086, 88, 96, 97, 94, 96, 98, 1!
00:01:50Okay, put your dust back.
00:01:58Put your dust back.
00:02:02It's nicer.
00:02:04Hi.
00:02:05We usually take recess outside.
00:02:08Right.
00:02:08See, it's math.
00:02:11I found this idea on the internet that you, you, you, uh, multiplications, you drill the ball,
00:02:17you throw it back and forth, so.
00:02:19Ah, good, good.
00:02:20It's just, it's a little noisy, you know, for the other classes without balls.
00:02:24Oh, I understand.
00:02:26Yeah, um, we'll, we'll try to keep it down.
00:02:28By the way, it looks interesting.
00:02:31Do you mind if I come by the next time you're doing the multiplication tables?
00:02:34Well, I never thought I'd hear myself say that.
00:02:36But, yeah, I would.
00:02:37Yeah, absolutely.
00:02:39Sounds great.
00:02:40Okay, who wants to be the octopus?
00:02:45Yeah!
00:02:47I mean, you'd think that they'd be interested in something new to get so bent out of shape
00:02:51by a little racket.
00:02:53Well, our kids wanted to be in your class.
00:02:56You come in here all excited and bushy-tailed a year out of school.
00:03:00You may be ready to change the world, but to most people, different is a threat.
00:03:04Yeah, but you're a great teacher.
00:03:06How can you be so cynical?
00:03:07I save my enthusiasm for battles I can win.
00:03:12Lorraine, hi.
00:03:13How are you?
00:03:14Great.
00:03:15Couldn't be better.
00:03:15You?
00:03:16Well, I got yelled at today because I was teaching math in this new way and...
00:03:19What, are you kidding me?
00:03:20I break up with the guy I'm supposed to marry, and you're the one having a tough day.
00:03:23What happened?
00:03:24I thought you guys were going to get married this summer.
00:03:26Oh, well, the bride's always the last to know.
00:03:29Last week's taploid, you know what I mean?
00:03:31Excuse me.
00:03:34Lorraine!
00:03:37Yeah, yeah, I know.
00:03:39Look, we're going on our annual trip.
00:03:42You, me, and Steph.
00:03:44Only, we're not going in the summer, and we're going someplace fun.
00:03:47Spring break.
00:03:48A place called Midner's Cove or something.
00:03:50Somewhere near San Diego.
00:03:52Get your life in order.
00:03:53Wait, wait, wait, hold on.
00:03:54Our yearly trip now?
00:03:56No.
00:03:57Hi, hi.
00:03:58That's Inuit.
00:03:59In fact, it was her idea.
00:04:00Find me another fiancΓ©.
00:04:02Hmm, at least for the week.
00:04:03David and I haven't seen much of each other this semester, and we were going to go on this camping trip.
00:04:08What don't you understand about the beach?
00:04:09You may not believe this, but I actually want to go camping with David.
00:04:13Oh, you're farther gone than I thought.
00:04:15I'll tell you what.
00:04:15I'm going home tomorrow.
00:04:17I'll see him, and I'll ask him.
00:04:19Ask him?
00:04:20That's possibly step 40 in.
00:04:22Let me tell you, you are in serious jeopardy.
00:04:24You have to come.
00:04:42Now that Laurie's being dumped, she's going to be a nutcase.
00:04:45I don't know, Steph.
00:04:47You know, I've just been feeling a little weird.
00:04:50A little unsettled lately.
00:04:51It's our trip.
00:04:53Our little tradition.
00:04:55I know spring break isn't quite our thing.
00:04:58So what if you and Laurie are working?
00:05:00I'm still in school, so we qualify to go somewhere and act like idiots.
00:05:03Well, you know what?
00:05:04Sometimes I wish I were still in school.
00:05:06You are, just with a bunch of seven-year-olds.
00:05:08We were together all those years in college, and we didn't have to worry about real life.
00:05:12We're still friends.
00:05:13It's not as though I'm moving to China.
00:05:16At least not yet.
00:05:17Although, maybe after spring break.
00:05:20But see, that's what I mean.
00:05:22You're going to China, and I'm here with a third grade and a bitchy principal.
00:05:26You are so nuts.
00:05:27You know, I don't know who's worse.
00:05:29You're a Laurie.
00:05:30I mean, here you are with a career that's actually working, about to be married to this great guy.
00:05:36Have those 1.8 fabulous children.
00:05:38Well, I have to thrash my way through the academic jungle.
00:05:41Yeah, but you're going to China.
00:05:42Come on.
00:05:43You have to come.
00:05:44It'll be great.
00:05:45You and David can spend your whole life going camping.
00:05:50Hey, Emma.
00:05:51What are you doing home?
00:05:52Checking to see who's leading in the street.
00:05:56That doesn't take much.
00:05:56Hey, guys.
00:05:57Hey.
00:05:58Where is that bad boy?
00:05:59Hey, Emma.
00:06:00He's working out, I think.
00:06:01Okay, thank you.
00:06:02Okay, jigs up.
00:06:03Hide the girls.
00:06:04Hey, Emma.
00:06:05Hey, honey.
00:06:06Come and spot me.
00:06:07Okay.
00:06:08What the hell are you doing here?
00:06:10What the hell are you doing here?
00:06:11No, it's great.
00:06:12I didn't spot me.
00:06:13What are you doing here?
00:06:15What are you doing here?
00:06:16Mmm.
00:06:17Mmm.
00:06:18Mmm.
00:06:19Mmm.
00:06:20Mmm.
00:06:21Mmm.
00:06:34Mmm.
00:06:35Mmm.
00:06:37Mmm.
00:06:39Can you get away?
00:06:40I'm away.
00:06:44Mmm.
00:06:47You are never getting up.
00:07:02I think I'll make the rolls here.
00:07:05Yeah.
00:07:05Yeah.
00:07:06I think so.
00:07:08Yeah?
00:07:08Yeah.
00:07:08Yeah.
00:07:14God, when are you going to get a decent bed?
00:07:17When there's more call for it.
00:07:19We could probably figure out something to do about it, though.
00:07:21Yeah, we could.
00:07:22But probably not this weekend.
00:07:24Why not?
00:07:26You should live dangerously.
00:07:28You better watch out.
00:07:29One of these days, you're going to get stuck.
00:07:36Let's go.
00:07:37I've got more important things to do.
00:07:47Hey.
00:07:51I didn't want to tell you over the phone, but I don't think I'm going to be able to do this camping trip.
00:07:56I have to sit in my advanced EMT course.
00:07:58It's the only time I can do it until next year.
00:08:01You bum.
00:08:02I'm sorry.
00:08:02Do you know that I just turned on a spring break trip with Steph and Lorraine to go camping with you, and now here you are dumping me?
00:08:08Well, if I had my way, then we'd be so bored of being together all the time, and you'd be happy to have a break.
00:08:16You think that?
00:08:18What?
00:08:18That we should be together?
00:08:19No, that we'd be bored.
00:08:26Well, it looks innocent enough, but all that sun makes people a little crazy.
00:08:30You're better off where it's cooler.
00:08:31How do you know, Dad?
00:08:33I was in the Navy, remember?
00:08:34Well, I'll stay away from anybody who's in a uniform.
00:08:37Except for maybe a fireman's.
00:08:39Dad's just worried once anybody leaves this suffocating town, they're going to go crazy.
00:08:43Or never come back.
00:08:44Yeah, Dad.
00:08:45Maybe we should find out what really went on out there.
00:08:47That was before I met your mother.
00:08:50Yeah, yeah, we've heard that before.
00:08:52All right, I better go.
00:08:54They'll forgive me anything if it involves them, but only a two-point.
00:08:56I'll see you out.
00:08:57What is this, an empty chair?
00:09:00See you around, squirt.
00:09:03Play hooky.
00:09:04Oh, you want me to lug hose the rest of my life, is that it?
00:09:07You're blowing my excuse not to go with the girls.
00:09:09Well, you should go.
00:09:10It'll be fun, right?
00:09:11Maybe.
00:09:13You have duty tonight?
00:09:14Yeah, especially after this afternoon.
00:09:17Bye, baby.
00:09:21I'll miss you.
00:09:28I'll bring you back a bronze Scottish.
00:09:30I'll be back.
00:09:41Come on.
00:09:41Is it all all the money?
00:09:43Oh, for sure.
00:09:43Doesn't matter to you, honey.
00:09:45Oh, for sure.
00:09:46It's time to fall.
00:09:46Oh, it's sunny.
00:09:47Oh, for sure.
00:09:48Huh?
00:09:49For sure.
00:09:49Come on.
00:09:50For sure.
00:09:51Passing down the block.
00:09:52My mind is twisted.
00:09:53Trying to get to the party early.
00:09:54Because I know that they missed it.
00:09:56It's half past three.
00:09:57I know it's too early, but my homie's hanging at the window.
00:09:59How I never party.
00:10:00So I pull up through the curtain and let the air out.
00:10:03Drop it to the ground, but it sounds time to show up.
00:10:05I pop the trunk and let the gun burn on you.
00:10:07Pop it so loud, but your party's at it so young.
00:10:09So much fun.
00:10:11Heaven.
00:10:12That's it?
00:10:12We've died and gone to heaven.
00:10:14Wow.
00:10:14You feel that, son?
00:10:15I have been cold for five months.
00:10:18All right.
00:10:19Well, looks like you get warmed up here.
00:10:21I've never leaked.
00:10:23Midner's Cove party, girls?
00:10:25That's us.
00:10:26Hey, boy, have you come to the right place?
00:10:28How'd you girls get so smart you picked Midner's Cove?
00:10:31Look at that beach.
00:10:32And hey, we got a pool and we got a stage.
00:10:35You girls were born for that stage.
00:10:37We got a hypnotist.
00:10:38Let's you do what you always want.
00:10:40Around here, I'm your man.
00:10:42Whatever you need, whatever you want, I'm your man.
00:10:45Hey, you like a different look?
00:10:46Just around the point, we got a different beach.
00:10:48Big waves, bars.
00:10:50Personally, I never leave right here.
00:10:53What do you got in these bags?
00:10:54Just bikinis?
00:10:55Here, give me that.
00:10:56Woo.
00:10:57All you guys are hot.
00:10:58We got lots of guys.
00:10:59Girls, too, if that's your thing.
00:11:01Hey, you here to hook up?
00:11:02Because I'm a connected and connecting, you know what I mean?
00:11:06Aren't you still in school?
00:11:07Like, high school?
00:11:09Yeah, well, we mature a little faster out here.
00:11:12Oh, you got an older brother?
00:11:14I am my older brother.
00:11:16Oh, my God.
00:11:18Uh-huh.
00:11:21Crap, uh-huh.
00:11:22Crap, uh-huh.
00:11:24Crap, uh-huh.
00:11:25Crap, uh-huh.
00:11:26Crap, crap, crap.
00:11:27Crap, crap, crap.
00:11:28Crap, crap.
00:11:30Crap, crap.
00:11:31Crap, uh-huh.
00:11:33So many hot boys up in here.
00:11:36So many girls in their underwear.
00:11:39Look, Kathleen.
00:11:42Remember when we were like this?
00:11:44I was never like this.
00:11:45I don't remember us ever being like this, even when we were kids.
00:11:50All they have is time.
00:11:52There's always gonna be, remember?
00:11:55We used to think.
00:11:56There's always gonna be a guy, a career, and everything would just come naturally, because
00:12:02that's what happens.
00:12:04There was plenty of time.
00:12:07Of course, we may never have met the guy or had the job, but we were gonna have it all.
00:12:12Get married, have kids, guaranteed.
00:12:16We're gonna be happy, because we deserved it.
00:12:19Guaranteed.
00:12:21Well, time sure is a way of sneaking up on you.
00:12:25Nobody tells you it's a crap shoot where most people come off snake eyes.
00:12:28I don't feel that way.
00:12:30Yeah, you do.
00:12:31You do feel that way.
00:12:33You just haven't faced it yet.
00:12:34Otherwise, you would have married David long ago.
00:12:37I mean, what are you waiting for?
00:12:39David isn't turning into somebody else anytime soon.
00:12:41I mean, you walk into that firehouse, you know, sure as hell what you're getting.
00:12:44Knock it off, Lori.
00:12:46I need to do something different.
00:12:51Have fun, you know?
00:12:54I mean, life is...
00:12:56Who knows what the hell I was about?
00:13:01I just found that out the hard way.
00:13:05I need to be somebody who didn't just let it all get away.
00:13:14What I need is to hook up, fast.
00:13:30She is gonna get in a lot of trouble.
00:13:33I know, I know.
00:13:38Look at her.
00:13:45I think we should have something.
00:13:47Let's go, let's go.
00:13:48Girl, girls, where do you think you're going?
00:14:06Three most beautiful girls here and you're walking away?
00:14:09Did we do something wrong here?
00:14:11Just a little reality break.
00:14:13The reality, what is that?
00:14:16This is spring break.
00:14:17You gotta go a little wild.
00:14:18Otherwise, what's the point?
00:14:20Are you guys watching the wet t-shirt contest?
00:14:22You guys have to do it.
00:14:23No.
00:14:24You know what you're missing?
00:14:25You know how it feels to have a hundred crazy guys wanting to be with you?
00:14:28Well, I've already got someone wanting to be with me.
00:14:31But that's one pathetic guy.
00:14:33I'm talking about a hundred crazy guys.
00:14:36You have any idea?
00:14:37And another thing.
00:14:39You know, like sexual charades, right, Sally?
00:14:41You know, like that movie When Harry met Sally?
00:14:43You seen that movie?
00:14:43I've seen that movie, yes.
00:14:44Oh, really?
00:14:45But we'd be doing it in a hot tub, not in a stupid dining room.
00:14:48Who are you?
00:14:51Hello, girls.
00:14:52I thought we discouraged you.
00:14:53You must have mistaken me for someone who isn't falling in love.
00:14:57You girls have just won the Most Beautiful Girls Award.
00:15:02And we are the prize.
00:15:04So my two guys are gonna shoot your entire week.
00:15:06You'll never forget it.
00:15:08I'm not sure I want to remember this week.
00:15:10See, I thought I swore off these a minute ago.
00:15:13You can swear off again tonight.
00:15:15Oh!
00:15:16Oh!

00:15:41Oh!
00:15:42God, look at this.
00:15:42He's so gorgeous.

00:16:27It's just another body, dude.
00:16:29Nuh-uh. Not just another body.
00:16:31Total innocence.
00:16:33But not.
00:16:35She's not gonna do anything, not the type.
00:16:38She will.
00:16:39Look, the right situation, the right drugs, the right booze
00:16:44Besides when we're done with this, she wouldn't think she did everything

00:19:07Oh!
00:19:09Oh, God!

00:19:21Come on. Emma! Emma! Emma! Emma! Emma!
00:19:24Come on, baby.

00:19:33Come on.
00:19:35Come on, Emma.
00:19:37Yeah.
00:19:40Oh, God.

00:19:44Yeah.
00:19:46Oh, God.
00:19:48Oh.
00:19:50Oh, my God.
00:19:52Oh, God.
00:19:53Yeah.
00:19:55Oh, my God.
00:19:57Oh, yeah.
00:19:58Yeah.
00:19:59Yeah, right there, right there.
00:20:00Oh, God.
00:20:02Oh, God.
00:20:03Oh, God.
00:20:04Oh, God.
00:20:05Oh, God.
00:20:06Oh, God.
00:20:07Oh, God.
00:20:08Oh, God.
00:20:09Oh, God.
00:20:10Oh, God.
00:20:11Oh, God.
00:20:12Oh, God.
00:20:13That was amazing.
00:20:14I have a headache.
00:20:15A headache?
00:20:16You want aspirin?
00:20:17Yeah.
00:20:18Yeah?
00:20:19You need anything else?
00:20:20No.
00:20:21No, I just want aspirin.
00:20:22There's a cabin downstairs.
00:20:23You want to come?
00:20:24Yeah.
00:20:25Come on.
00:20:26You sure you're all right?
00:20:36Get me a little bit.
00:20:37Better if she were down a little.
00:20:44I got it.
00:20:48Perfect.
00:20:54Dumb bitch.
00:20:56Dumb bitch.
00:20:59Dumb bitch.
00:21:23We're so proud of you doing such a great job.
00:21:25and a few of the members of the board and the faculty
00:21:29want to discuss some ideas that we have for you next week, okay?
00:21:32Okay, that would be great.
00:21:34I'm going to get Grace Law.
00:21:36I'm going to get Grace Law.
00:21:39I'm going to do my book of the year to teacher of the year.
00:21:43I'm serious.
00:21:45Thank you for your help.
00:21:47It's all about the kids.
00:21:49I love it.
00:21:58I know.
00:22:00I'm so happy.
00:22:01Great.
00:22:04How did you get them to do all of that?
00:22:10I don't remember doing anything like that in the second grade,
00:22:13except run around the playground.
00:22:15Do you think it's possible for me to be too impressed?
00:22:17Want to give you a big head?
00:22:18You're going to think you're too good for a small town fireman.
00:22:21Oh, come on.
00:22:22I would love to show you how untrue that is.
00:22:24You would?
00:22:25Yeah.
00:22:26I would.
00:22:27Will you stay over?
00:22:28Mm-hmm.
00:22:29Like I don't have a four-and-a-half-hour drive to make my shift.
00:22:31But I'll be up next weekend.
00:22:32Okay?
00:22:33I'm really, really proud of you.
00:22:34I love you.
00:22:35You're right.
00:22:36You're right.
00:22:37You're right.
00:22:38What about the hunk with the yacht?
00:22:39You're right.
00:22:40You're right.
00:22:41What about the hunk with the yacht?
00:22:42You're right.
00:22:43I'm really, really proud of you.
00:22:45I'm really, really proud of you.
00:22:47I love you.
00:22:48You're right.
00:22:49You're right.
00:22:50You're right.
00:22:51What about the hunk with the yacht?
00:22:53I remember having a headache and playing charades.
00:22:55What do you think?
00:22:57You're right?
00:22:58Look, you should go to San Diego more often.
00:23:02Oh, what about what did you think?
00:23:03Oh, how do you think?
00:23:05I think he should go to San Diego more often.
00:23:10What do you think?
00:23:17What do I think?
00:23:18I think you should go to San Diego more often.
00:23:31You better go before I make you stay.
00:23:35And you stop me.
00:23:37No, you're kidding.
00:23:40By the way, I went topless one night.
00:23:48I'm sorry, you what?
00:23:50Yeah, we all did.
00:23:51It was a little weird out there.
00:23:52You should have been there.
00:23:54See the new me.
00:23:58I told you you didn't know what you were missing.
00:24:02It's party time!
00:24:03From all over the country they come.
00:24:05You know what they want.
00:24:06That girl next door, they play the tease,
00:24:08but they're showing it on display.
00:24:11They just want somebody to grab it.
00:24:13And you can be that guy and get them on the beach and in your lap.
00:24:17Get your credit card ready.
00:24:18Click the download button.
00:24:19Get every second of what these horny chicks do.
00:24:23No more hard and porno queens.
00:24:25These are the girls next door.
00:24:26The board, we all were so impressed by your imagination and your handling of the children
00:24:33that the PTA would like to fund an extracurricular program for all grades.
00:24:38Oh my God.
00:24:39For the other teachers as well.
00:24:41I've had three kids go through this school, but you raised the bar.
00:24:45I thought you should be rewarded for your talents.
00:24:48Wow, I, I don't know what to say.
00:24:52I'm flattered.
00:24:54I just, um, I don't know quite how it would work.
00:24:57Well, if you're agreeable, we could set up another meeting and see if we can figure something out.
00:25:01Boy, you sure know how to make enemies.
00:25:04First you come back from California positively glowing,
00:25:07and now you're holding seminars.
00:25:11It's a terrible idea, isn't it?
00:25:13It's a great idea, but it's also the best way to get yourself most hated teacher of the year.
00:25:19Well, then I just won't do it.
00:25:22School politics are funny.
00:25:24I mean, it looks all touchy-feely, but you just never want to give anyone too much ammunition.
00:25:36Hey, Jess, come here.
00:25:37Is that who it looks like?
00:25:47Can't be.
00:25:48It's like one of those spring break tapes, but it's different, more extreme.
00:25:51Did she go down to some spring break thing?
00:25:53You watched the whole thing.
00:25:54It's her.
00:25:56It gets pretty raunchy.
00:25:57You think we ought to tell Dave?
00:26:01Suddenly all the other teachers are mad at me.
00:26:03Well, most.
00:26:04Well, you could try switching schools.
00:26:06Better yet, you could come home.
00:26:08You know you could get a job in a second.
00:26:10Maybe it's time.
00:26:12Is that code for get married and live happily ever after in Prairie du Shin?
00:26:16So what if it is?
00:26:17It's not the end of the world.
00:26:21I just don't know if I want to spend my whole life in a small town.
00:26:23Why?
00:26:24What's wrong with it?
00:26:26Well, would you live somewhere else?
00:26:29I don't think so.
00:26:30I think Prairie has a lot to offer.
00:26:32I mean, history, family, roots.
00:26:36I mean, honey, it's a good town.
00:26:37It's our home.
00:26:39I mean, what?
00:26:40Is there something you want to do that needs you to be someplace else?
00:26:43It can be a little suffocating.
00:26:44You don't think people feel suffocated no matter where they are?
00:26:47I mean, anywhere.
00:26:48Madison, Chicago, San Diego, wherever you were.
00:26:54All right, honey, I guess I could learn how to surf.
00:26:56No, I didn't say that.
00:26:57Look, all I'm saying is I don't remember you feeling this way before you took your little trip.
00:27:02Did something happen out there?
00:27:04Made you feel like you needed to be someplace else?
00:27:07I don't know.
00:27:08With someone else?
00:27:09Listen, I've always felt this way.
00:27:14Okay, I mean, don't you feel this way sometimes?
00:27:16What if there's something out there that's perfect?
00:27:20Perfect for you?
00:27:21For us?
00:27:22You know, we might never know.
00:27:24I think that everything that's perfect for us is right there.
00:27:27I mean, you could turn your back on it looking for something else.
00:27:31I don't know what.
00:27:32But by the time you figure it out, what you don't know is what you've lost.
00:27:36David, nothing's changed.
00:27:39Yeah, maybe.
00:27:41But at least it's in the open now.
00:27:44Don't you think we've been ignoring this?
00:27:46You know, not facing the facts here?
00:27:47What?
00:27:47No.
00:27:48What are you talking about?
00:27:49Kate, listen.
00:27:50I love you and you love me.
00:27:53Those are the facts.
00:27:54Yeah, but no, look, the fact is I like Prairie, okay?
00:27:58I like my job.
00:28:00It makes me feel good.
00:28:01Like I'm doing something I'm proud of.
00:28:05Yeah.
00:28:07I'm sorry, I've got to go.
00:28:08Come here.
00:28:11I love you.
00:28:13I'll see you soon.
00:28:24I'll see you soon.
00:28:54I'll see you soon.
00:29:24I'm sure there's some kind of reasonable explanation here.
00:29:52Um, mistaken identity.
00:29:55Something.
00:29:57I just thought you should know someone raised the issue.
00:30:00I don't understand.
00:30:02I, if somebody would say something like that, don't I get a chance to defend myself?
00:30:10It, uh, it may be a little premature.
00:30:12If there's no substance to it, then we can forget we ever had this conversation.
00:30:19It's more important that it's not true.
00:30:21Well, what am I supposed to do?
00:30:22What am I supposed to do?
00:30:23Well, somebody that I don't know who it is is saying that I'm in some porno film that they
00:30:32won't identify and I what?
00:30:34If you'd like to take the rest of the day off.
00:30:37Oh, I wouldn't like to take the rest of the day off.
00:30:40I haven't done anything.
00:30:42Why should I?
00:30:45No.
00:30:46Emma, it's not a suggestion.
00:30:48I'm not making it a formal suspension, but just take a couple of days off.
00:30:53She wouldn't even tell me what they were talking about.
00:31:06I heard it was about you and some movie.
00:31:09You didn't do anything weird when you were in San Diego, did you?
00:31:12No.
00:31:13I mean, we all had fun.
00:31:15Well, we took our tops off one night.
00:31:17That's it.
00:31:18I should have gone to San Tropez.
00:31:20I mean, you're sure you let go a little.
00:31:22It was vacation.
00:31:23It was more silly than anything.
00:31:26Yeah, but silly to you can be salacious to somebody else.
00:31:28I mean, the trouble with this kind of thing is there will always be somebody who believes
00:31:31it because they secretly want it to be true.
00:31:35No, I haven't heard anything about it.
00:31:37Yeah, I tried to call Lorraine, but I couldn't reach her.
00:31:40Um, I've been suspended.
00:31:42How can they do that?
00:31:44Are all of us in it?
00:31:45I don't know.
00:31:45I don't even know if this thing exists.
00:31:49I mean, do you know where I would find this type of thing?
00:31:51But I mean, what would we look for?
00:31:54Emma, Steph, and Lorraine.
00:31:55Flash in Mint Nurse Cove.
00:31:57Okay, well, if you talk to Lorraine, tell her to call me, all right?
00:32:01I will.
00:32:01Okay.
00:32:02All right.
00:32:02All right.
00:32:06All right.
00:32:14Best M.
00:32:15Best M.
00:32:15Hit on the next.
00:32:17Locker room.
00:32:18What was your wife doing while you're at work?
00:32:21Locker room.
00:32:22Don't make rape.
00:32:23Your health can't jam.
00:32:25I can't.
00:32:26All right.
00:32:27First timers guaranteed.
00:32:28Turn off.
00:32:29Turn off.
00:32:29I don't understand, Reverend.
00:32:43I thought we were doing a pretty good job for the church.
00:32:47Well, if you want to make a change, that's fine.
00:32:49But there has to be a reason.
00:32:52I mean, it's okay if you have to.
00:32:54It just, I'm just confused.
00:32:55Look, if it's something we did, I...
00:32:59I have to go downstairs and tell Henry to cancel that Emmanuel Lutheran order.
00:33:04St. Matthews just canceled their bulletin order.
00:33:07It makes three of our biggest accounts.
00:33:09What's going on?
00:33:13What the hell do you think you're talking about?
00:33:15Hey, hey, hey, hey.
00:33:16Hey, look.
00:33:17Nobody is stumping to any conclusions.
00:33:19Look, Steve, I'm sorry as hell, all right?
00:33:21We've all known Emerald.
00:33:22Hey, hey.
00:33:23Hey, all I did was stumble across something.
00:33:25Hey, look, Dave, look.
00:33:26Dave, it's out there, okay?
00:33:28What's out there?
00:33:29There's nothing out there.
00:33:30It's not him.
00:33:31It's not him.
00:33:34I live in these streets the same DTs.
00:33:37I'm the colors, man.
00:33:38People trapped.
00:33:40Brian in a trap with chips you better find.
00:33:43So, man, what's up?
00:33:45I got the afraid and I won't wait.
00:33:48It's not wrong.
00:33:49I got the afraid and I won't wait.
00:33:52It's not wrong.
00:33:53I got the afraid and I won't wait.
00:33:54I got the afraid and I won't wait.
00:33:56Got cut, got stabbed, doing time in the pit.
00:33:59Now I'm out doing mine on the grind for the chips.
00:34:02Got a sack full of bags on the side.
00:34:04I won't wait.
00:34:05If you mess with my joy, I won't lie to you live.
00:34:08I'm putting my gas here, trying to steer you off.
00:34:11So you're riding on the side.
00:34:13So you hear what you thought I ain't seen.
00:34:15I don't mind on your face.
00:34:16But why would you want to go in the wild?
00:34:18Oh, yeah.
00:34:19Oh, yeah.
00:34:20Yeah.
00:34:20Yeah.
00:34:21Yeah.
00:34:22Yeah.
00:34:23Yeah.
00:34:25Yeah.
00:34:26Oh, my God.
00:34:28Oh, my God.
00:34:29Oh, my God.
00:34:30Yeah.
00:34:31Oh, my God.
00:34:32Yeah.
00:34:33Oh, my God.
00:34:34Yeah.
00:34:36She doesn't have tenure.
00:34:38I mean, what is the policy in a situation like this?
00:34:40But she has the right to bring it to the board.
00:34:43The school could be sued.
00:34:45Even the public airing of such an issue would be damaging to the school.
00:34:50It's also a human question.
00:34:52Pretty soon, the kids are going to get wind of this and get curious.
00:34:56And I, for one, do not want to be explaining to my seven-year-old what pornography is.
00:35:01Well, I haven't said anything till now because she's such a good teacher.
00:35:05And she presents herself so well.
00:35:09But if she stays, I'm pulling Jason out of school.
00:35:18Hi.
00:35:19You ought to check your machine.
00:35:21It rang about a thousand times.
00:35:23Maybe it's not working.
00:35:25Anyway, uh, you haven't answered my email yet.
00:35:30What's going on?
00:35:31The town burning down?
00:35:34Well, things are pretty crappy here.
00:35:38Okay.
00:35:39Bye.
00:35:41I love you.
00:35:43Bye.
00:36:00Hey.
00:36:06Your choice is either resign or I will have to take this to the district and initiate a formal dismissal.
00:36:12Now, if you resign, there can be some reason, something neutral, something that won't hurt your record.
00:36:17I'll help you frame the situation so it won't affect your future.
00:36:22I didn't do anything.
00:36:24How could you believe that I would?
00:36:27I mean, at least let me talk to who's spreading this.
00:36:30It's no longer a case of an unsubstantiated rumor.
00:36:33I have not seen the material.
00:36:37But others have.
00:36:38Teachers' parents.
00:36:40I will look at it if I have to, as will the district.
00:36:43What material?
00:36:45There is no material.
00:36:46I tried looking on the internet.
00:36:48You know, I don't have to accept this.
00:36:51I have a right to fight this and I'm going to.
00:36:53You do.
00:36:54You do have a right to fight this.
00:36:58But let me lay down the process.
00:37:02I fire you for cause.
00:37:05In this district, that is automatically reviewed by the superintendent and the board.
00:37:09Now, you can appeal at a district level, which will bring the whole sordid business into the public arena.
00:37:15But you should think very carefully about that before you do.
00:37:20Litigation, being what it is this day, it would have to be messy.
00:37:24And the district?
00:37:26It doesn't usually lose.
00:37:29Emma, I'm trying to do you a favor.
00:37:33If you fight it, it'll be on your record.
00:37:35Even if you're exonerated, even if it turns out to be nothing, it will be on your record.
00:37:41Every time you go for an interview, true or not, it'll be there.
00:37:45People, parents, will find out about it. They always do.
00:37:50Now, you think a school is going to go against parents in hiring a teacher?
00:37:57Believe me, I'm thinking of your welfare.
00:38:01It isn't fair.
00:38:05It's not fair.
00:38:06I have to say goodbye to my children.
00:38:15I don't think that's a good idea.
00:38:17There's a substitute already in place. Your things will be gathered and delivered to you.
00:38:20How can you just have somebody disappear from their lives?
00:38:28You can't just yank somebody from them. You understand that?
00:38:33They'll get over it.
00:38:34Emma, wait!
00:38:37Oh, Emma.
00:38:41She wouldn't let me say goodbye to my children.
00:38:44I'll talk to them. I'll tell them something.
00:38:47Kids are resilient.
00:38:48They're usually more than we are.
00:38:51At least now we can go see a lawyer.
00:38:53I'll resign.
00:38:55I agreed to leave.
00:38:57Look, I know it's lousy, but sometimes it doesn't really matter whether it's true or not.
00:39:03I've got to get to class.
00:39:05Look, it's up to you. You've got to be strong.
00:39:07It's up to you.
00:39:09It's up to you.
00:39:10You've got to be strong.
00:39:12It's up to you.
00:39:37Δng?
00:39:38It's up to you.
00:39:39Let's go.
00:39:40Let's go.
00:39:41Let's go.
00:39:43Let's go.
00:39:50Let's go.
00:40:07I don't know.
00:40:37I don't know.
00:41:07I don't know.
00:41:37I don't know.
00:42:07I don't know.
00:42:37I don't know.
00:42:38I don't know.
00:42:39I don't know.
00:42:40I don't know.
00:42:41I don't know.
00:42:42I don't know.
00:42:43I don't know.
00:42:44I don't know.

00:42:52I don't know.
00:42:53I don't know.
00:42:54I don't know.
00:42:55I don't know.
00:42:56I don't know.
00:42:57I don't know.
00:42:58I'm losing it.
00:42:59I don't know.
00:43:00I don't know.
00:43:02I don't know.
00:43:08Hello. Hi. Hi. Hey, stranger. Where have you been? How are you? What's the matter? I'm pretty
00:43:33lousy, Emma. I saw your film, Emma. I saw the video. Did you hear me? I saw you with my own
00:43:49eyes. David, that puts you ahead of me because I didn't do any movie, okay? And I refuse to
00:43:56look for it. David! It's called Girls Wilding Mintner's Cove. What are you thinking, Emma?
00:44:04Are you drunk? Huh? Were you high? Maybe I could understand what you would... Were you having
00:44:10fun? I can't deal with this, all right? I just can't. This just means that I really don't
00:44:16know who you are. David, will you please just listen to me for one second, okay? I didn't
00:44:22do any movie. I don't know what the hell is going on here. Just give me one chance, please.

00:47:53in our drinks I don't know em I mean you realize you're sounding a little crazy now right I'm not
00:47:59kidding I got fired from my job even I almost believe it's me right now do you remember that
00:48:07charades game faking the orgasm yeah it really looks like I'm with that guy Greg or whatever his
00:48:16name was I mean it looks so real it's awful it made me sick David saw it he won't even talk to me
00:48:34I mean and I can't blame him you know I can't what about Lori and me were we in it uh uh god I mean a
00:48:44little bit I don't know I I didn't watch the whole thing this could really hurt my career I mean you
00:48:49know how academics are look come up and stay with me no I can't I have to figure things out I mean at
00:48:56least I can be a little anonymous here I just wanted to call make sure I hadn't gone crazy you're not
00:49:03crazy there must be some kind of a logical explanation for this look if you just come
00:49:08up here it'll all be okay I think we should stick together Emma can you hear me yeah why don't you go
00:49:19take a run or something you know I'll come down there if you want me to um it's okay I'm fine thanks
00:49:26now that just sounds a little confusing I know I know it does but I know that I didn't do anything
00:49:38that's on that tape but it looks so real even I almost believe it's me I mean what if I was drugged
00:49:47or something you know is that possible for for me to do something like that and not even know it
00:49:52well one hears of cases of date rape drugs things like that look Emma there's a kind of bottom line
00:50:00it may not be what you want to hear but either you did it and don't remember or you did some
00:50:06things that make it look like you're doing more or it was somebody else you don't believe me I do I do
00:50:16well I want to believe you I guess I do believe you because I trust my instinct about you as a person
00:50:23but look at the situation I mean I haven't seen it but even if you think about maybe being drugged
00:50:30or something or whether you did it or not people think you did that's what you have to fight
00:50:37people see me and I think they know they look at me and I can't stand it okay I can't go anywhere
00:50:46without thinking that everybody knows do you know how that feels I called a friend a lawyer she wasn't
00:50:55very helpful she uh had somebody in her office look at the videotape
00:51:00well this is what she thought she said it would be better if you moved away to some other school
00:51:09district that things died down with nothing on your permanent record you could start afresh
00:51:15maybe it makes sense Emma well I'm your friend I know you're a good person you've proved that
00:51:27a wonderful talented person but I'm not the issue even a school isn't David is your family you
00:51:38you need to figure out something most people never have to figure out
00:51:43who you are and what you're gonna do about it
00:51:57they're all about it
00:52:12they're all about it
00:52:16they're all about it
00:52:19thank you
00:52:24Oh, my God.
00:52:54Oh, my God.
00:53:24Oh, my God.
00:53:54Oh, my God.
00:54:24Oh, my God.
00:54:54Oh, my God.
00:55:24Oh, my God.
00:55:25Oh, my God.
00:55:26Oh, my God.
00:55:28Oh, my God.
00:55:29It's okay, sweetheart.
00:55:30It's okay.
00:55:31It's okay.
00:55:32It's okay.
00:55:33All right.
00:55:34I'm calling the police.
00:55:35Oh, my God.
00:55:36Oh, my God.
00:55:37Oh, my God.
00:55:38Oh, my God.
00:55:40Oh, my God.
00:55:41It's okay.
00:55:42I'm going home.
00:55:45I'm going home.
00:55:46I'm going home.
00:55:47No, Emma.
00:55:48You can't let him get away with this.
00:55:50You know, I just got to get out of here.
00:55:52I'm going home.
00:55:53I'm going home.
00:55:58I'm going home.
00:56:02I'm going home.
00:56:04Dad?
00:56:34You awake?
00:57:04I came home.
00:57:20I take it then it's not all good.
00:57:25I have an inkling about some of this.
00:57:29You haven't had much experience of bad things.
00:57:33I don't want you to think you can't come to me, you know?
00:57:39Honey?
00:58:03That's good.
00:58:04Is it?
00:58:05I stood there looking down at some stupid plaque and thinking where the hell is my mother?
00:58:18I'm...
00:58:19I guess it doesn't really matter anymore, but...
00:58:22I'm home, Dad!
00:58:24Hey, Em, what are you doing home?
00:58:27Honey, could you give us a minute?
00:58:30We're talking.
00:58:31Oh?
00:58:32What about Emma's dirty video?
00:58:34I mean, I look at it this way.
00:58:36It doesn't seem like the kind of thing my big sister would do.
00:58:39But you could have had this Jekyll and Hyde moment.
00:58:41In that case, you're a very sick girl.
00:58:44If you didn't, maybe we should figure out what happened.
00:58:47I mean, can they do that stuff where you put your head on someone else's body?
00:58:51You know, like all that compute generated stuff you see in the regular movies.
00:58:55Do you remember that gag shot we did for the Kiwanis?
00:58:57Where we mixed up all the heads with the bodies?
00:58:59But you'd have to have something to work with.
00:59:02There was stuff I did.
00:59:04Like that charades game, but not anything like that.
00:59:07We're all tarred with this.
00:59:09We've lost a third of our business.
00:59:11Almost all the churches.
00:59:13Why don't you give Chief Rogers a call?
00:59:15Look, I know you're having a rough time, okay?
00:59:18I mean, obviously you weren't treated that well by a couple of the cops up there, but...
00:59:21One cop went as far as to say that it was my fault.
00:59:24I mean, here I am, nearly raped, and they're telling me that I'm the type of person who's
00:59:30dangering women.
00:59:33Um...
00:59:35Emma, I would love to help you.
00:59:37But, uh, well, all this is a little out of my league here.
00:59:41I mean, I don't think there are any federal laws that cover this sort of thing.
00:59:44This took place in California.
00:59:47God only knows what their laws allow.
00:59:50So you're telling me that they can just get away with this?
00:59:52I mean, then what good are cops?
00:59:55What if the police were to shut down that club, say,
00:59:58all to protect you from this happening?
01:00:00Now, I think you'd be pretty upset at the law missing in areas that most folks nowadays
01:00:04consider to be their own business.
01:00:07Well, thanks for coming by, Chief.
01:00:13At least you listened.
01:00:16Hey, I've been trying to reach you.
01:00:20Second private call.
01:00:21Okay.
01:00:22Um...
01:00:23Yeah.
01:00:24I've been...
01:00:25I've been busy.
01:00:26I, um...
01:00:27I saw the tape.
01:00:29My first thought was, boy, she showed me a better use of her time than I did.
01:00:33Just kidding.
01:00:35We were together the whole time.
01:00:37Were we?
01:00:38Well, not like every minute.
01:00:39I mean, I was bopping Mr. Conga Line while you had Mr. Right.
01:00:44What are you talking about?
01:00:46Look, hey, I'm sorry you're getting a lot of flack for this, but, you know,
01:00:50people get Academy Awards for less.
01:00:52Or worse.
01:00:54Okay, the tape's pretty bad.
01:00:57And maybe it's not the Emma I know, but what other explanation is there?
01:01:01I mean, just forget it.
01:01:03Everybody needs to grow up a little.
01:01:05Why are you doing this?
01:01:07I'm just being honest.
01:01:09I mean, your mantra is to hell with it.
01:01:11I mean, the phoniness?
01:01:13I mean, who cares?
01:01:14What happens in Las Vegas stays in Las Vegas, you know?
01:01:17I mean, everybody acts all shocked and then sneaks off their computers and watches it.
01:01:22It swaps wives in Des Moines.
01:01:25I mean, have you seen what Ordinary Girls and Those Girls Gone Wild tapes do?
01:01:28I mean, I'm doing stuff I wouldn't have done a couple months ago.
01:01:32This is wrecking my life, and you're...
01:01:34What the hell are you doing?
01:01:44Hello?
01:01:45Dwight, there's a fire at the store.
01:01:52My poster.
01:02:16My poster.
01:02:22Police think it was a couple of kids.
01:02:23They hear their parents talking and they act out.
01:02:24Not a case of small town hysteria.
01:02:25Maybe.
01:02:26But it's not as bad as it could have been.
01:02:27Well, yeah.
01:02:28Somebody could have been killed.
01:02:29On the other hand, we've been getting phone calls all morning.
01:02:30People expressing their sympathy.
01:02:31We even got a couple of accounts back.
01:02:35Sure you want to be here?
01:02:36I mean, last night was pretty emotional.
01:02:37You don't want to get stuck just because you rescued some poster.
01:02:47Sure, you want to be here?
01:02:54I mean, last night was pretty emotional.
01:02:56You don't want to get stuck just because you rescued some poster.
01:03:01Excuse me.
01:03:06I know what I'm doing.
01:03:08Do you?
01:03:10Did you know what you were doing when you weren't around when I needed you?
01:03:14What?
01:03:16Look.
01:03:17I don't blame you.
01:03:20Or maybe I do.
01:03:22You know, I don't know what I would have done with somebody that I loved.
01:03:26But all I know is that I've been through hell.
01:03:31And nobody protected me.
01:03:35Look, we're not back yet.
01:03:38I don't know if we're going to get there.
01:03:40We could talk about you feeling unprotected.
01:03:45But there is a lot of other stuff here.
01:03:46Like you not wanting to marry me?
01:03:50Or giving me the idea that you wanted to explore other options.
01:03:53Whoa, I never said that.
01:03:54Yeah, no, the hell you didn't.
01:03:55Okay, but that's how I took it.
01:03:57Maybe there's some Dr. Phil way I should have reacted.
01:04:00I'm operating on blind faith here.
01:04:02Like, what the hell actually did happen out there?
01:04:04Why didn't you just come and tell me everything?
01:04:07I think I just deserve a little credit for that.
01:04:12Maybe you do.
01:04:16Look, maybe we can get through this.
01:04:20Maybe we can't.
01:04:21Either way, Emma, I want you to know I'm here to help.
01:04:28Let me help.
01:04:37Okay, assuming she didn't do what's on the tape, then what's the explanation?
01:04:39Well, usually these videos are just regular college girls.
01:04:42They get drunk and lose it.
01:04:43I mean, they have sex and stuff, but this is like FOMO hardcore.
01:04:46Also, the style.
01:04:49Wait, I don't follow.
01:04:49Well, it jumps around a lot.
01:04:51Something weird.
01:04:52Maybe you get someone to analyze it or something.
01:04:53Hey, does your brother know if there's some sort of department or research program that
01:05:01can tell if something like a video is real or not?
01:05:05I'm sure there must be something.
01:05:07Maybe the communications department can set up a test.
01:05:12Are you nervous?
01:05:16Liar!
01:05:17You're afraid that the video might prove that I did what it really looks like.
01:05:21You're afraid if it doesn't, then you're going to have to stay mad at me forever.
01:05:25I don't know.
01:05:26I think we're both going to have to grow up on this one.
01:05:29I mean, the question is, do you prove to someone that you love them by standing by
01:05:33them no matter what it looked like they did, or do you forgive somebody for being confused
01:05:37about it?
01:05:38This is a no-end situation.
01:05:41Who's the you?
01:05:42Me.
01:05:44You.
01:05:45Well, it sounds like we're stuck.
01:05:48I love you.
01:05:49That's what I know.
01:05:50More than anything, I just wish I could understand it a little better.
01:05:54What if I was drugged or psychotic or something?
01:05:58Psychotic?
01:05:59I'd never bargain for psychotic.
01:06:04This is a very good job here.
01:06:05This one looks like the face and the body are the same.
01:06:08Excellent.
01:06:09Now, if I magnify the image more and more to here, you can see that there is a shape difference
01:06:14between the pixels on this side of the line and the other side.
01:06:17And if I had density, see, the images were taken in different light.
01:06:21The other thing is this, the movement of the pixels.
01:06:24One really must admire the work here.
01:06:27This difference in the speed of the movement is virtually undetectable.
01:06:30So it's not me.
01:06:31Well, some of it is you.
01:06:34And the top part is you.
01:06:35The bottom, oh, the wrist, appear to be someone else.
01:06:39It's fake.
01:06:42It is a fake.
01:06:43Oh, my God.
01:06:44Thank you so much.
01:06:48You see?
01:06:53This is me.
01:06:54Remember, I don't need any help.
01:07:00You'd testify, wouldn't you?
01:07:02Ah, that is the question.
01:07:03And the answer is, of course, yes.
01:07:05But the defense, what will they do?
01:07:07They'll get some other version of me to prove the exact opposite.
01:07:09Yeah, but the tape is fake.
01:07:11Oh, yes.
01:07:12But do you really expect the jury to sort it out?
01:07:14When the most convincing expert is always the last one to speak.
01:07:17I have to do something about this.
01:07:19There is someone to whom I have consulted, specialists in privacy law.
01:07:23I could give her a call.
01:07:27I would say you have a pretty clear case of identity theft.
01:07:31On the other, to a certain extent, you're damaged goods.
01:07:34Excuse me, but what the hell do you mean by that?
01:07:37The defense would contend that at the very least, you voluntarily put yourself in a position,
01:07:41appearing in a public display that allowed them to use your tape,
01:07:45even acting out a sexual simulation.
01:07:47There's no shimmery in these things.
01:07:49I was fired from my job, stalked, nearly raped,
01:07:52my family's business burned down to the ground.
01:07:55Me and everybody that I know has been humiliated.
01:07:58And what if this never goes away?
01:08:00You might be able to convince a jury that you've been slandered on the identity theft issue.
01:08:05But if you're not a public person, you know, the damage to your reputation is usually considered minimal.
01:08:11You'd be amazed how common what you're experiencing is, in one form or another.
01:08:15So you mean to tell me that a lot of women are having their heads put on another body and being turned into porno stars?
01:08:20Oh, you're a little unique.
01:08:22But there are a large number of women who go someplace, like you did, say spring break, or Mardi Gras, or even on their college campus.
01:08:30And they do something like flush their breasts or get drunk, even allowing themselves to be photographed having an origin.
01:08:36But I didn't do anything like that.
01:08:37Yeah, but you also didn't exclude yourself.
01:08:39The explosion of pornography and technology affects all women.
01:08:45Whether it's what happened to you or somebody with a cell phone or a miniature camera in a girl's locker room.
01:08:50Basically, it undermines a woman's right to do or be whomever she wants to.
01:08:54It was far simpler when we were more puritanical.
01:08:57That's just nuts.
01:08:57Yeah, well, it is schizophrenic.
01:08:59But look at our culture.
01:09:00A lot of it women have either helped create or patronized.
01:09:04We have rap lyrics which degrade and invite abusive women, which many women approve of.
01:09:10Advertising is filled with soft porn.
01:09:13Our culture is full of images which are designed to sexually excite.
01:09:19Now, the man who stalked you probably thought you were just playing hard to get.
01:09:23College girls line up to do soft and hardcore for the fun of it.
01:09:28It's big problems for juries.
01:09:31How many contradictions can they deal with?
01:09:32Yeah, but I thought that there were laws protecting women.
01:09:35No, there are and there aren't.
01:09:36Well, women are mostly protected by commonly understood social contracts.
01:09:40In the last 30 years, we thought we could have it all.
01:09:43Independence and protections.
01:09:44There's got to be something that can be done.
01:09:46Most laws are a generation behind the technology.
01:09:49Now, the Supreme Court of Washington State ruled that a woman was not protected
01:09:52in a checkout line from an up-the-skirt camera.
01:09:57Other state courts have held that women are not protected in their own bedroom or bathroom
01:10:01against photography through an open window.
01:10:04But people sue for everything all the time.
01:10:06Well, it depends how much time and money you have
01:10:08and how much humiliation you want to endure.
01:10:13Let it blow over.
01:10:14I mean, the bigger deal you make of it, the worse it's going to be for all of us.
01:10:17Yeah, but it isn't a secret.
01:10:19I get looks everywhere I go.
01:10:21I don't want those looks.
01:10:22I don't want people looking at me.
01:10:23You know, and if I just let it go, then thousands, maybe millions of people will think that I did it.
01:10:30Yeah, but you'll never know those millions of people.
01:10:32They might as well not exist for all the influence they'll have in your life.
01:10:35The trouble is that if I leave Prairie, I mean, look at Minneapolis.
01:10:41A lawyer there said that I would be better off just leaving the city.
01:10:45I mean, that video is everywhere.
01:10:47All over the Internet, in stores.
01:10:50You know, maybe it's impossible.
01:10:53And all I want is for people to look at me the way that they used to.
01:11:01David.
01:11:04Honey.
01:11:08Give it up.
01:11:10Damage control in a case like this is just to surround yourself with the people who love you.
01:11:15David, your family, me.
01:11:19You're cool for another teaching job.
01:11:21Just lay low, be anonymous until this whole thing disappears.
01:11:26We'll protect you.
01:11:30I'm going to Mittner's Cove.
01:11:32I have to know.
01:11:34You know what?
01:11:35You know already.
01:11:37You took your top off.
01:11:39You played some stupid game and they made a porn video out of it.
01:11:42Look, it's dangerous.
01:11:44If these people are capable of doing what they're doing, then God knows what else is going on out there.
01:11:48They took something from me and I need to get it back.
01:11:51Well, I'm going with you.
01:11:52No, you're not.
01:11:54That's the problem.
01:11:55I can't be a child who needs someone to ride her bike with her when she goes down the street.
01:12:01I can't be.
01:12:02And that guy in Minneapolis stalked me.
01:12:07And then attacked me.
01:12:10I let him.
01:12:12I mean, I was so afraid that I gave up.
01:12:16I gave myself up.
01:12:18And if it hadn't been for Alice, it's still with me.
01:12:27And I can't let this hang over me.
01:12:31I have to do something about it because if I don't, then I'm always going to be afraid.
01:12:48I'm always going to be afraid of it because I'm always going to be afraid of it because I'm always going to be afraid of it because I'm always going to be afraid of it.
01:13:05Pretty pathetic in daylight.
01:13:12Excuse me?
01:13:18Hey, you know a guy named Greg or Jimmy who's still in high school?
01:13:26I need to find them.
01:13:28No, you don't.
01:13:29You need to go home and get over it.
01:13:31No, see, you don't understand.
01:13:33You don't understand.
01:13:35I stand behind this bar watching this parade of you girls go through here.
01:13:39What do you think?
01:13:40The world's set up for you?
01:13:42It's a set up, all right.
01:13:44But this isn't your world.
01:13:46You can't get even with it.
01:13:47You can't win.
01:13:48Best you can do, be glad you survived.
01:13:53There are a lot of girls out there who didn't.
01:13:56Believe me.
01:14:08She gave me the number of a lawyer who handles cases like this, but they wouldn't give me an appointment.
01:14:14She said he'd be in court, he'd be gone for three weeks.
01:14:17God, L.A. is so huge.
01:14:20I mean, I don't quite know how to do anything.
01:14:23Okay.
01:14:23Go to the courthouse.
01:14:25Find out which one.
01:14:26In L.A. there's probably a lot he could be in, but all the trials are posted.
01:14:31I'll call and see if Professor Richardson can give him a call, okay?
01:14:34How'd you get to be so smart?
01:14:35Maybe there's a lot of things you don't know about me.
01:14:39I hope not too much, if you know what I mean.
01:14:42Excuse me, Mr. Salkin.
01:14:44Could I please talk to you for a moment?
01:14:46No.
01:14:48My name is Emma Norman.
01:14:50If I could just...
01:14:51Damn it, please.
01:14:53I told Professor Richardson I wasn't interested.
01:14:56Just five minutes.
01:14:59All right.
01:15:01Go.
01:15:02What do you want?
01:15:04Excuse me?
01:15:05You want money?
01:15:06Someone to go to jail?
01:15:08You want to close down the production house?
01:15:09A hotel?
01:15:11You want your reputation back?
01:15:12A public apology?
01:15:13Come back when you know I've got to be somewhere.
01:15:15Look, in California, there are no good criminal remedies.
01:15:21There's a few civil codes we can pursue, but I've had my head handed to me on this kind of thing.
01:15:25You think in our litigious world where you can get millions from being within a block of someone smoking,
01:15:30or an asbestos judgment from a jury without being sick,
01:15:32that someone who's truly damaged would actually have a chance?
01:15:36But you'd be wrong.
01:15:37But what about libel or slander laws or fraud?
01:15:40I looked up on the Internet the privacy laws of California.
01:15:42Privacy law is very new and very subjective.
01:15:46There's no historical precedent for it in tort law.
01:15:48As a matter of fact, it changes all the time.
01:15:51Privacy is what 12 men and women think it is.
01:15:55I've won some privacy cases from paparazzi after stars to unauthorized books and movies.
01:16:01But every time I go after one of these guys who distributes soft or hardcore porn, I've lost.
01:16:08Juries find it very difficult sorting out our First Amendment rights and our privacy rights.
01:16:11They put my head on another body.
01:16:13That is actionable if you can prove that the distributor ordered it or even knew about it.
01:16:18I know from Professor Richardson that you have a technical expert who's going to testify.
01:16:23The company will have five.
01:16:24You participated in some stuff, right?
01:16:26That means that the jury has to figure out what was voluntary and what wasn't.
01:16:31That makes it look like everything was voluntary.
01:16:33If they hold a gun to your head.
01:16:36Listen, juries are as culturally conflicted as the rest of us.
01:16:40High divorce rate, infidelity, ordinary housewife swinging.
01:16:44People who get on juries range from people who watch porn, who are in porn, who are intensely moralistic.
01:16:50Do you sleep with your boyfriend?
01:16:52Did you kiss the guy on the conga line?
01:16:53You were fired from your job.
01:16:55That means somebody thought you were complicit.
01:16:59The defense will tear you apart.
01:17:14Hi.
01:17:15Does your company produce those spring break videos?
01:17:19Do you know who does?
01:17:21Hi.
01:17:30Are you here to shoot someone or get a job?
01:17:33I want to talk to someone in charge.
01:17:36Must want a job.
01:17:42Mintness Club's second edition is here to see Nick.
01:17:45Most of the films are shot on location.
01:17:47What we do here are mostly retakes, close shots and insects.
01:17:50I am so glad to finally meet you.
01:17:52Emma, isn't it?
01:17:53It was on the ID security gap from your bag.
01:17:55I assume that's your real name.
01:17:57You are so good.
01:18:00I mean, I see a lot of girls and you're special.
01:18:02You'd be surprised.
01:18:03It's in the face more than the body and you just jump off the screen.
01:18:07It's really something.
01:18:08I mean, I had no right.
01:18:09I see lots of girls.
01:18:10A lot of girls.
01:18:11Here is the new cover.
01:18:15You are going to be a star.
01:18:17I just want to know why you doctored that tape.
01:18:19Sorry?
01:18:20You juxtaposed my face with somebody doing things that I never did.
01:18:24You're kidding, right?
01:18:25No, no, no.
01:18:26I'm not kidding.
01:18:27Look at the tape.
01:18:28Look, I'll admit maybe we did a little bit of that when we first started,
01:18:31but now, hell, we make so much money from legit movies we make here or acquire,
01:18:35we don't have to.
01:18:37We even get releases.
01:18:38Today, girls would do damn near anything for a couple of bucks.
01:18:41No, I never signed a release, and I never did anything that's on that tape.
01:18:46You're not kidding.
01:18:47Of course I'm not kidding.
01:18:52SLB.
01:18:54Con me.
01:18:56Greg, he said it was a real deal, that you were the real deal.
01:19:00Well, he did a damn good job.
01:19:01I want you to take that tape out of circulation.
01:19:04You have to recall it.
01:19:05You've got to be nuts.
01:19:06Look, I'm sorry you got screwed.
01:19:09Excuse the pun.
01:19:11But we're talking about a very successful video here.
01:19:13This is a big seller.
01:19:14We could break a record with this one.
01:19:16I can talk to the police.
01:19:17I've already talked to a lawyer.
01:19:18I hope it was Sulkin.
01:19:20I've beaten him so many times, he might as well work for me.
01:19:24And you've probably already been to the police.
01:19:28How much help are they?
01:19:31I'm the First Amendment man.
01:19:32Hey, look, tell you what, how about $5,000, no, $10,000?
01:19:42You deserve it.
01:19:44Think of this as a down payment.
01:19:50Too bad.
01:19:51Well, there's always another one that comes along.
01:19:55Where's Greg?
01:19:57Are you really this dumb?
01:20:00You don't have any idea what you're dealing with.
01:20:04This is a big city.
01:20:06I'm the nicest guy you'll meet in this town.
01:20:09Greg?
01:20:11He's a wild card.
01:20:12I buy stuff from him when he shows up, that's all.
01:20:14If I knew where he lived, I wouldn't tell you.
01:20:19I wouldn't want it on my conscience.
01:20:22Conscience?
01:20:24Go home.
01:20:27It'll be over soon.
01:20:29Audience gets bored fast.
01:20:31You know what they're into now?
01:20:32Fake rape.
01:20:35You've got a short shelf life.
01:20:38In fact, I've got someone newer and hotter downstairs right now.
01:20:45You guys look good up there.
01:20:51No, no.
01:20:52Here you go.
01:21:01I mean, I'm just going to open it up.
01:21:08I don't know.
01:21:08I don't know.
01:21:08I mean, I'm just going to open it up when I were down here,
01:21:10you're just going to open it up.
01:21:10I'm just going to open it up.
01:21:11I'm just going to open it up.
01:21:12You are bound and determined to get yourself into trouble, aren't you?
01:21:27I really need to get this.
01:21:29Please, please, will you help me?
01:21:33It's not helping you, believe me.
01:21:42It's not helping you.
01:22:12It's not helping you.
01:22:42You don't remember me?
01:22:50No, I meet a lot of pretty girls.
01:22:51I don't...
01:22:54Mintner's Cove?
01:22:56You made a porno movie with my face?
01:22:59Oh, yeah.
01:23:00How'd you find me?
01:23:03Nick Bronson.
01:23:05Oh, well, look, if you want some money, I didn't make a dime from that tape, okay?
01:23:09You gotta talk to him.
01:23:09He's the one that makes all the money.
01:23:11I don't want any money.
01:23:13Look, I'm sorry.
01:23:14It's nothing personal, okay?
01:23:15It's business, all right?
01:23:16That's it.
01:23:16That isn't it.
01:23:20Well, look, I'm not gonna talk out here, so...
01:23:22So this is it.
01:23:48Guess where you made it?
01:23:50What are you gonna do?
01:23:51You're gonna arrest me?
01:23:54You're gonna call the cops?
01:23:57You know what?
01:23:57I do remember you.
01:24:01That tape rocks because of you.
01:24:04Otherwise, it's just another body screwing.
01:24:06So that's it, huh?
01:24:09That's why you used me.
01:24:11Why else?
01:24:13What?
01:24:15It ruined your life.
01:24:17You're gonna call some lawyers and try to sue me?
01:24:21For what?
01:24:24For cheating?
01:24:28For lying?
01:24:32For stealing your soul?
01:24:36What, your boyfriend dumped you?
01:24:40Your friends laugh at you?
01:24:42They're jealous.
01:24:44You really just don't get it, do you?
01:24:46No, it's you that doesn't get it.
01:24:48You want a perfect life, all in need and orderly?
01:24:51You stay in Kansas.
01:24:54That night, you wanted it.
01:24:57You were on.
01:24:59You really wanted it.
01:25:04You know, I could do anything to you.
01:25:06I could even rape you.
01:25:11And nobody would believe you.
01:25:14You're pathetic.
01:25:32You're pathetic.
01:25:36Is that what you do?
01:25:37Is that what you're trying to tell me, that you're gonna rape me?
01:25:40That's it?
01:25:42That's your life.
01:25:43Making phony tapes.
01:25:45You know, I don't know why I was ever scared of you.
01:25:48It's my shit.
01:25:49You know what?
01:25:50What?
01:25:50I almost feel sorry for you.
01:25:51I'm gonna kill you.
01:25:54This isn't real.
01:25:55This isn't real sex.
01:25:57Look at this.
01:25:59It's absurd.
01:26:00My butt!
01:26:07Ha!
01:26:08You?
01:26:12I was afraid of you.
01:26:15What was I thinking?
01:26:16It's strange.
01:26:32I've never felt more afraid.
01:26:35Degraded.
01:26:36Humiliated.
01:26:37But somehow, I feel exhilarated.
01:26:42I know now that the only thing that frees you from fear is your own power.
01:26:47There are no protected places.
01:26:52The internet is in big cities and small towns.
01:26:55Pornography is changing the way women have to live.
01:26:59You may not think it has anything to do with you, but it is everywhere.
01:27:05If I could tell my story, if other women and girls knew what had happened to me,
01:27:11they could realize no one controls your honor but you.
01:27:14I don't need anyone to give me back my honor.
01:27:17I never lost it.
01:27:47I never lost it.
