00:00:29Satsang with Mooji
00:02:3137th Street, French's Tire Shop. Cover the Northeast Yard motion.
00:02:36112, domestic disturbance at 3-4-5-0, Loma Vista.
00:02:42Mullins again?
00:02:43That's right.
00:02:45I'm on my way.
00:02:47Taylor, there's your backup.
00:03:06No, it's okay.
00:03:08It's okay, really.
00:03:17Look what he did to me.
00:03:18Ms. Mullins, I need you to calm down.
00:03:20I'm out of here this time.
00:03:22This time I will.
00:03:23Okay, all right.
00:03:23What I need you to do is...
00:03:24He's going crazy.
00:03:25I know he's breaking up the whole house.
00:03:28Please help me.
00:03:29Please help me.
00:03:30Can you get him?
00:03:30Please get him.
00:03:33We're going to need an ambulance now.
00:03:35Here at 3450, Loma Vista Avenue.
00:03:38Finally, there's a lot of assault.
00:03:47Mr. Mullins?
00:03:50Mr. Mullins, this is the police.
00:03:52Come on out.
00:03:53The strow's going in now.
00:03:55Do you copy?
00:03:55Mr. Mullins, did you hear me?
00:04:09Mr. Mullins, did you hear me?
00:04:41There's a question, Loma Vista.
00:04:43What the hell was going on?
00:04:44Copy that, Heller.
00:04:45Unit 22.
00:04:47I'm sure you're VTA in bridges.
00:04:54Charging...
00:04:56Alright.
00:05:00Hi.
00:05:23Mr. Mullins, step out slowly with your hands in the air.
00:05:27Mr. Mullins, please, drop the pipe, drop the pipe, hands behind your head, hands behind
00:05:42your head.
00:05:42All right, up against the wall, up against the wall.
00:05:56Oh, we haven't done it, huh?
00:05:58Nice backup, Heller.
00:06:01What the hell do you think you're doing?
00:06:03Why don't you relax?
00:06:04I know this guy.
00:06:05He likes to hit people, don't you?
00:06:06You hit him again, Heller, and it goes in my report.
00:06:09Yeah?
00:06:09You do that, and you'll never see backup again from anybody.
00:06:13Get your hands off of him.
00:06:14Get your hands off of him.
00:06:16Fine, fine.
00:06:17Sure call him.
00:06:17Come on, it's always.
00:06:21Listen, you want me to run him in for you?
00:06:40Hey, Bright Eyes, how'd your ship go?
00:06:41Pretty long.
00:06:43Must have been a full moon last night.
00:06:44Seemed like all the wackos were out.
00:06:47Hopefully they'll get back in their cages before I have to get out there and make our streets
00:06:50safe against parking violators.
00:06:53I got to get this stuff in and get out of here.
00:06:55I'll see you at breakfast.
00:06:57Fine, yeah.
00:06:58I'll have a chili omelet after I am.
00:07:02Hey, Lisa, I'm coming through.
00:07:04There she goes.
00:07:07You know, I think they'd spend some extra money for another locker room
00:07:10so we wouldn't have to go through this every day.
00:07:11And then miss the beefcake?
00:07:13You don't hold a candle on my boyfriend, Charlie.
00:07:16Oh, I don't know about that.
00:07:19Two days wear, five days wear.
00:07:23Oh, man, last year's softball playoffs.
00:07:26Oh, you're a sick man, Warrensburg.
00:07:29Here, burn him when you're done with him.
00:07:31Thanks, Charlie.
00:07:33How do you get him like that?
00:07:34Did you guys see the set on that blonde that Hank was with the other night at Bowling Alley?
00:07:37Oh, Mike, she must have been a lot of fun in the shower, huh?
00:07:40Well, you know what they say.
00:07:42The bigger the breasts, the dumber the guy.
00:07:45Oh.
00:07:48Stroud.
00:07:50Lieutenant Fuhrer wants to see you in his office.
00:07:53Uh-oh.
00:07:53Oh, it's all over now.
00:07:55Another one bites the dust.
00:07:56Can I have your locker?
00:08:06Sir?
00:08:06Come in, Stroud.
00:08:15I've marked you meet standards in all but three categories.
00:08:19In those, amount of work performed, coordinating with others, and helpful to fellow employees, I've rated you exceed standards.
00:08:28Thank you, sir.
00:08:30Well, Stroud, two more months, coming down to the wire.
00:08:35This will be your last evaluation.
00:08:37I thought I had one more at the end of review.
00:08:40I think we can skip it.
00:08:41Unless, of course, you object.
00:08:42Oh, no, sir, I don't object at all.
00:08:45When the time comes, I'll just attach this eval to my recommendation.
00:08:48Here.
00:08:49Read and sign.
00:08:54Thank you so much, Lieutenant Fuhrer.
00:08:58By the way, Heller told me how well you handled the Mullin situation.
00:09:03Keep up the good work.
00:09:05Thank you, sir.
00:09:12Tony, I hear you might be interested in an administrative service position when the time comes.
00:09:18Yeah, definitely.
00:09:20Stop by my office sometime.
00:09:21I'll fill you in on the requirements.
00:09:22Well, thank you, Captain Daly.
00:09:24I appreciate that.
00:09:25Yeah.
00:09:38No, really, you look fabulous today.
00:09:40I don't know what I mean.
00:09:41Only in one.
00:09:43Hey, Tony.
00:09:44Hey.
00:09:45What did you do?
00:09:46Evaluation update.
00:09:47Straight A's.
00:09:49All right.
00:09:50All right.
00:09:52Well done.
00:09:53Hey, a little toast, huh?
00:09:54You sure how good?
00:09:55Yeah.
00:09:56Be bad.
00:09:57To women in uniform.
00:09:58Yeah, why not?
00:09:59Hey, why not?
00:10:00I think it's the hair or something.
00:10:02Stop.
00:10:03Sweetheart, another Bloody Mary.
00:10:05Keep them coming, will you?
00:10:06Oh, gee, Charles, you know, if you paid a tab or left a tip, the service might be more
00:10:09to your liking.
00:10:10Oh, hey.
00:10:11Come on.
00:10:11What are you trying for?
00:10:12A personal test?
00:10:13It's not even 9 a.m.
00:10:16She loves me.
00:10:17She loves me.
00:10:18She loves me.
00:10:18Dear Christ.
00:10:19Oh, God, please.
00:10:21No, no, Rex!
00:10:25Hey.
00:10:27Hey.
00:10:28How was your day?
00:10:29I survived.
00:10:30How was yours?
00:10:32My day went very well.
00:10:34I got a great evaluation.
00:10:35Well, congratulations.
00:10:37Mmm.
00:10:38It smells good in here.
00:10:39What are you making?
00:10:40Uh, chicken.
00:10:41Yeah?
00:10:42Mm-hmm.
00:10:42You don't smell too bad yourself.
00:10:44Well, it may be available after dinner.
00:10:46Yeah.
00:10:48I'll make sure I keep it open.
00:10:55I got a little present for you.
00:10:57Hey, you found it.
00:10:59Yeah, I did.
00:10:59Where did you find this?
00:11:01Well, I'll get my sources.
00:11:03You're welcome.
00:11:04Thank you so much.
00:11:05Uh, you want to grab the salad?
00:11:07Got it.
00:11:08Thanks.
00:11:08You want a drumstick and a wing?
00:11:10Oh, yeah.
00:11:10That's good.
00:11:12Anything come in the mail?
00:11:15No.
00:11:17All right.
00:11:20No, honey.
00:11:20It's early.
00:11:21You still have time.
00:11:22I don't know.
00:11:23I just...
00:11:24I'm starting to feel like I'm going to be a high school teacher the rest of my life.
00:11:28College?
00:11:28High school?
00:11:28What's the difference?
00:11:29It's the same smart-ass kids, only older.
00:11:33You know, Tony, I really wish you'd take this a little more seriously.
00:11:38Dean, I was kidding.
00:11:39I mean, you really take being a cop seriously, don't you?
00:11:41Let's not have this argument again, okay?
00:11:46Let's just enjoy the evening.
00:11:49All right?
00:11:51Yeah.
00:11:51Okay.
00:11:52Okay.
00:11:52Here.
00:11:53Get your plate.
00:11:54Thanks.
00:12:02How you doing?
00:12:05Hi.
00:12:06Hey, Charlie.
00:12:21Hey, what's up with Charlie?
00:12:23Is he in some kind of trouble or something?
00:12:28Well?
00:12:32His wife called the department about his drinking.
00:12:35Ouch.
00:12:36Ouch is right.
00:12:37It was a lousy thing to do.
00:12:38What's gonna happen to him?
00:12:40I don't know.
00:12:41Probably make him go get counseling.
00:12:42You know, Charlie, he's gonna love that.
00:12:45Yeah, well, he has been hitting it pretty hard lately.
00:12:47Yeah, well, that's none of our business.
00:12:50Yes, it is.
00:12:52We count on him for backup in the field.
00:12:54If he's got a problem, we should help him.
00:12:55Oh, Charlie's a big boy.
00:12:57He can take care of himself.
00:12:58That's not the point anyway.
00:13:00His wife shouldn't have reported him to the brass.
00:13:01Should have worked it out in private.
00:13:03Maybe she tried.
00:13:05Can't if she tried.
00:13:06What she did was wrong.
00:13:09Tony's.
00:13:09People are always trying to take us down.
00:13:12And having your wife rat on you,
00:13:13it's about as low as it gets.
00:13:15I mean, I'd never rat on you about anything.
00:13:17I know you wouldn't rat on me, right?
00:13:19That's the code.
00:13:21Nah, this shouldn't have happened.
00:13:22She knows better.
00:13:23Let's do this.
00:13:29I didn't use the code, sir.
00:13:31Hi, I almost got my finger.
00:13:32Don't.
00:13:32Here.
00:13:33Use this.
00:13:33Let's get there.
00:13:35Hey, does anyone want to go to the football game this weekend?
00:13:36Dean and I have a couple extra tickets.
00:13:39I wouldn't pay to watch those bums.
00:13:42I'll go if that blonde from the bowling alley come with me.
00:13:44Oh, come on, Charlie.
00:13:45It's not that bad.
00:13:46Your wife's just worried about you.
00:13:49She's got a hell of a way of showing it.
00:13:50She'll get over it, man.
00:13:51Yeah, why don't you send her some flowers?
00:13:53Yeah, maybe I'll send her a wreath.
00:13:58How about one of those sexy teddies?
00:13:59Women love that crap.
00:14:00Right, Tom?
00:14:01No men love that crap.
00:14:12Mank!
00:14:16Good!
00:14:18Back to me, sir!
00:14:24Mandy, you're doing good!
00:14:27You're good!
00:14:28Baby, you're doing good!
00:14:29No!
00:14:30No!
00:14:30No!
00:14:30No!
00:14:31Who is it?
00:14:44Tony.
00:14:46Charlie, what are you doing here?
00:14:48Well, I hate to do this to you, but I need a little favor.
00:14:52I just wonder if I can maybe crash here for a couple hours.
00:14:55No, what's the problem?
00:14:55Mm-hmm.
00:14:59Bam threw me out.
00:15:01Oh, I'm sorry to hear that.
00:15:03Come on, huh, after the night shift,
00:15:06I think I'm going to start looking well in place.
00:15:11Well, come on in.
00:15:12Yeah, it's all right?
00:15:13Yeah, come on in.
00:15:18I hope the couch is OK.
00:15:20Oh, that's great, that's great.
00:15:22Well, go back to sleep.
00:15:23Here's a blanket.
00:15:24Where's Dean?
00:15:25Oh, he teaches today.
00:15:27Yeah.
00:15:31Yeah, I really appreciate this, Tony.
00:15:34Yeah, no problem.
00:15:35Here you go.
00:15:37Sleep well.
00:15:55See you, us outside of the night.
00:16:00He taps out of the night.
00:16:05Go home.
00:16:12See you later.
00:16:14Okay, Kyle.
00:16:21Let's go away.
00:17:30Please don't take it.
00:17:33Don't!
00:17:35Charlie, don't!
00:17:37Get off!
00:17:38No!
00:17:39No!
00:17:40No!
00:17:43No!
00:17:45No!
00:17:46Oh, oh, oh, oh.
00:18:22Hello?
00:18:23Hey, it's me.
00:18:25Guess what?
00:18:25I got great news.
00:18:26George offered me a professorship.
00:18:28I start in the fall.
00:18:30Oh, Tony?
00:18:32Hello?
00:18:33Did you hear me?
00:18:34I can't talk right now, Dean.
00:18:48Hey.
00:18:56Hello?
00:20:08I can't talk right now, Dean.
00:20:10I'm sorry.
00:20:11Please, Dean, not now.
00:20:12Not now?
00:20:13Not now?
00:20:14What the hell's the matter with you?
00:20:15I called you with the best news of my life, and you hung up on me.
00:20:19I mean, I think you're supposed to be happy for me here, Tony.
00:20:23Jeez, I don't understand you.
00:20:28Now, if this is about us moving, you knew all along that was a possibility, Tony.
00:20:33If this is about your job, which, of course, we know is much more important than mine,
00:20:36well, I got news for you.
00:20:38News flash.
00:20:39They have cops in Georgia, too.
00:20:42Tony.
00:20:46Tony.
00:21:12Somebody's watching.
00:21:31Hey, Tony.
00:21:33So what are you doing here?
00:21:36Listen, uh, do me a favor, will you?
00:21:39You didn't see me here.
00:21:41I mean, this kind of thing wouldn't go over really big with a wife, you know?
00:21:46Yeah.
00:21:49Thanks.
00:21:51I'll cover for you sometime, okay?
00:22:08Hey.
00:22:08Hey, those will kill you.
00:22:10Hey, you didn't happen to see Tony, did you?
00:22:12I think she's out in the lane.
00:22:14Aren't she, uh, called in sick?
00:22:28Hey, Tony, wake up.
00:22:31It's three o'clock.
00:22:32You've been sleeping for 18 hours.
00:22:39Hey, sick?
00:22:40You want me to call a doctor?
00:22:41No.
00:22:42I told you, I'm okay.
00:22:45Okay.
00:22:49My mother called.
00:22:50She said she wants to stop by after work.
00:22:54What for?
00:22:55Because she wants to see how you are.
00:22:57That's what for.
00:23:03Tony, listen to me.
00:23:04We're going to have to deal with this sooner or later.
00:23:06This job means a lot to me.
00:23:07I'm not going to turn it down.
00:23:14I'm not going to turn it down.
00:23:17Well, I'm glad we had this little talk.
00:23:19I feel so much better.
00:23:42Hey, Mom.
00:23:42Hello.
00:23:43What's the matter?
00:23:44I heard you weren't feeling well.
00:23:45Oh, no.
00:23:46I'm just, uh, I'm just tired.
00:23:47Well, you don't have a fever.
00:23:49Mom, I'm okay.
00:23:51Well, you look pale.
00:23:52Jack, she looks awfully pale.
00:23:54It's that night shift she's working.
00:23:56Where are they going to put you on days?
00:23:58I like the night shift.
00:23:59It's not a problem.
00:24:01Good.
00:24:01Maybe I can get a cup of coffee to go with these cookies.
00:24:05I'll help.
00:24:10Hey, Dad.
00:24:12Dean told me about the job offer from Georgia.
00:24:15He's very excited about it.
00:24:17Yeah, I know.
00:24:20Well, you think she's upset because you don't want to leave town.
00:24:25I don't mean to interfere.
00:24:28You don't have to explain anything to me.
00:24:30It's one thing to talk about moving, and it's another to do it.
00:24:34Especially now, you know, with your wonderful job.
00:24:39Mom, I, uh...
00:24:42What?
00:24:42What?
00:24:45What is it?
00:24:49Where's that coffee coming?
00:24:51Oh, it's right here, Daddy.
00:24:53These cookies look great.
00:25:02Hey, how are you doing?
00:25:07Hey, Colin, how are you doing?
00:25:09Hey, Colin, how are you doing?
00:26:17Oh, yeah, this is Stroud reporting an abandoned vehicle at 7th and Carpenter.
00:26:25Oh, yeah.
00:26:36Oh, yeah, this is a very good thing.
00:26:52Oh, yeah.
00:26:52Oh, yeah.
00:26:54Well, we're a little jumpy tonight.
00:26:58What are you doing here?
00:27:00Hey, I just came to check you out, see how you're doing.
00:27:04Look, it gets a little lonely out here at night, you know, uh, never know what's gonna happen.
00:27:12Nothing's gonna happen.
00:27:16Maybe, maybe not.
00:27:20But, you gotta be careful when you're out here all by your lonesome without any backup.
00:27:24Yeah.
00:27:24What is that, a threat?
00:27:26Hey, come on, chill out, Tony.
00:27:28Chill out.
00:27:30Just try to be my usual helpful self.
00:27:56You stay the hell away from me, Charlie.
00:28:11We need to talk, Tony.
00:28:13Dean, it's been a long shift and I just wanna finish this up and go to bed.
00:28:17Yeah, well, see, that's all you've been doing lately is working and sleeping.
00:28:20I don't think we've said a dozen words to each other in the past two weeks.
00:28:24God forbid I try to touch you.
00:28:27You said I don't wanna talk about this.
00:28:29Yeah, well, I do.
00:28:31I wanna talk about this now.
00:28:32Well, since when is everything about you, huh?
00:28:35When did you become the center of the universe?
00:28:41Look, Tony, let's not do the...
00:28:44Don't touch me.
00:28:47My God, Tony, what is wrong with you?
00:28:50This...
00:28:50It's like I don't even know who you are.
00:28:53I am the same person I've always been.
00:28:55No, Tony, you're not.
00:28:57Something's changed.
00:28:59And I don't know if it's me or if it's Georgia or if it's this crazy job of yours.
00:29:04You know what?
00:29:04I'm about to have it with you and your snide remarks about my job, all right?
00:29:08And if you are so unhappy here, I don't see anyone holding you here against your will.
00:29:11Oh, so what are you suggesting now, Tony, huh? You want me to leave?
00:29:13Don't you want, Dean, all right?
00:29:17I just need some time alone, okay?
00:29:21Yeah, well, you got it.
00:29:23In fact, why don't you take the rest of your life?
00:29:40Well, we've been drifting apart lately, anyway.
00:29:45People change.
00:29:47You know, our biggest fight was about my being a cop.
00:29:50I just didn't understand that.
00:29:52You're telling me I was too smart to be a cop.
00:29:55Oh, like that was a compliment or something.
00:30:01Stace.
00:30:02Oh, no, it's the goon squad.
00:30:03Hello, ladies.
00:30:05Hey, we're back, though.
00:30:06Let's go and die of thirst.
00:30:07Hey, nice post.
00:30:09Just because we had one bad evening together doesn't mean you could eat my food.
00:30:12You want a second chance?
00:30:13Hey, listen, I just got myself a new place.
00:30:15All right.
00:30:16Got a little housewarming party on Sunday.
00:30:18Who's coming?
00:30:19I'm in.
00:30:20Don't you think you ought to wait till the ink is dry, pal?
00:30:23Hey, I'm back in the market, sweetheart.
00:30:25Oh, the market's changed, Charlie.
00:30:27Oh, yeah?
00:30:28Change your life.
00:30:30I don't think Charlie's gonna have a problem.
00:30:33There's a man who knows the man.
00:30:36So you coming to my party stage?
00:30:38Only if I don't have to sit anywhere near him.
00:30:40Weisberg, you coming?
00:30:41Only if Stacy goes.
00:30:48How about you, Tony?
00:30:49You coming?
00:30:51Maybe you can come a little early, maybe help me set up.
00:30:52You know, make it like your place.
00:30:55Keep it that nice, homey touch.
00:31:01What the hell got into her?
00:31:03I don't know.
00:31:05Not that it's any of your business.
00:31:07But her and Dean split up yesterday.
00:31:10Another cop relationship bites the dust.
00:31:13Thank you, Mr. Sensitivity.
00:31:15What?
00:31:15It was a joke.
00:31:17It was a joke.
00:31:19Stacy, come on.
00:31:20It's a joke.
00:31:21It's a joke.
00:31:22Hello, will you give me a plate?
00:31:24Yeah.
00:31:27Good morning.
00:31:29Good morning.
00:31:30Good morning.
00:31:32Good morning.
00:31:32Good morning.
00:31:33Good morning.
00:31:34Good morning.
00:31:35Good morning.
00:31:36I got no idea, man.
00:31:36Good morning.
00:31:37Good morning.
00:31:39Before the rumors start flying, we want to let you know what's happening.
00:31:42A young woman in the community has accused Charlie Lloyd of rape.
00:31:46What?
00:31:46Now, it's just an allegation.
00:31:48No charges have been filed.
00:31:49Charlie's still a member of this department.
00:31:51One of our own.
00:31:52Now, he'll be on paid administrative leave pending the outcome of the investigation.
00:31:55And he's still welcome here.
00:31:58What's the girl's name?
00:31:59I'm really not at liberty to discuss that.
00:32:02All right.
00:32:02Right now, I'd like to introduce Detective Bob Hyman from the DA's office.
00:32:05He's going to be conducting a joint investigation with the department.
00:32:08Now, Bob's going to want to talk to most of you, and I expect your full cooperation.
00:32:16Uh, this is unpleasant business for us all.
00:32:21I'm a cop myself, so I, I know how it feels to be questioned about the police officer.
00:32:27So, I will try to make this as painless as possible and still try to do my job.
00:32:34If anybody here has any information about the matter at hand, I, I would appreciate you coming forward.
00:32:43Uh, Bob will be working with Lieutenant Fuhrer when he won't up.
00:32:47Let's make sure and show Charlie our support.
00:32:50We're still a family here.
00:32:52That's it.
00:32:53Back to work.
00:33:02It's a clock.
00:33:03I don't know who this is.
00:33:04It's that slut that works at Bakery on Route 1.
00:33:07Hey, hey, hey, Tony.
00:33:09What's the room?
00:33:12What's wrong?
00:33:16Everybody on Charlie's shift?
00:33:18Detective Hines wants to be you guys first.
00:33:20I got the sign-up sheet.
00:33:23I feel so responsible.
00:33:25I mean, if I were to come forward earlier, this might not have happened.
00:33:30Who else have you told?
00:33:33No one.
00:33:34No one.
00:33:34You haven't told anyone here?
00:33:35No.
00:33:36Not even Stacy?
00:33:37Mm-mm.
00:33:38I didn't want to say anything because I didn't want the guys to find out.
00:33:41And, plus, I'm still under review.
00:33:46How long have you got?
00:33:48Three weeks.
00:33:52I feel so bad about that girl.
00:33:58Tony, listen to me.
00:34:00This is not your fault.
00:34:02You did fine.
00:34:05I'll take care of things from here on out.
00:34:07Okay?
00:34:11Okay.
00:34:14What about Himes?
00:34:15He's gonna want to question me.
00:34:18Don't worry about Himes for now.
00:34:20Let me have a word with the chief.
00:34:24Okay.
00:34:33I'll straighten things out, and then I'll get back to you.
00:34:38Thank you, Captain.
00:34:47It'll be all right.
00:35:19All right, I'll see you in a few minutes.
00:35:20Okay.
00:35:24Officer Stroud.
00:35:26You know, it's been a week.
00:35:28I'm beginning to think that you're dodging me on purpose.
00:35:32Uh, no, sir.
00:35:33I'll get in there as soon as I can.
00:35:35Well, why don't we just say that you'll see me before your next shift, okay?
00:35:38Yes, sir.
00:35:50Excuse me, Captain Daly.
00:35:52Not now, Tony.
00:35:53Excuse me, Captain Daly.
00:35:53Not now, Tony.
00:35:56Excuse me, Captain Daly.
00:36:33Tony.
00:36:34Can I see you, sir?
00:36:35All right.
00:36:41Yeah.
00:36:43I heard that you, uh, took a theft report down at the bakery.
00:36:46Yeah, I did.
00:36:48Did you know Ann Davis works there?
00:36:50Ann Davis? I don't know who that is.
00:36:53She's the woman that claims that Charlie raped her.
00:36:58So?
00:37:01So, redo the report, put Ann Davis down as a suspect.
00:37:08On what grounds?
00:37:10She's one of nine employees. I don't have any evidence against her.
00:37:13Find some. Come on.
00:37:32Uh, excuse me. Is the owner around?
00:37:35No. What can I do for you?
00:37:39Are you Ann Davis?
00:37:42Yes.
00:37:43This is about the theft, isn't it?
00:37:45Oh, yeah. Um, I-I just have to follow up on a couple of things.
00:37:50Mr. Shumway won't be back till 4.
00:37:55I'm sorry.
00:37:56About what?
00:37:59About Charlie Lloyd.
00:38:06It shouldn't have happened.
00:38:08And, uh...
00:38:09I'm really sorry.
00:38:21If only I had done something. Anything.
00:38:24Ugh.
00:38:25Now, what could you have done that would have been different?
00:38:27Well, I could have come forward when Charlie first attacked me
00:38:29instead of worrying so much about my job and what people were gonna say.
00:38:32Tony, you-you're gonna stop eating yourself up about this.
00:38:34Because if you could have seen this poor girl's face today,
00:38:37I didn't even know what to say to her.
00:38:39And-and Heller, he wants me to alter my report
00:38:42and make her look like a thief.
00:38:44You're not gonna do that.
00:38:45No.
00:38:46Well, why do you have to answer to Heller anyway?
00:38:48No, I don't.
00:38:49But I'm afraid I made a mistake trusting Captain Daly.
00:38:53Daly?
00:38:54Yeah.
00:38:54You know, he hasn't said one thing to me since I told him about the rape.
00:38:58And Himes is really pressuring me for a statement.
00:39:01I don't know.
00:39:02Tony, I think that you have to talk to Himes.
00:39:06Stace, everybody is backing Charlie up.
00:39:09All the guys are.
00:39:10Welcome to the boys' club.
00:39:12Listen to me.
00:39:13They have to believe you, first off, because you are telling the truth.
00:39:17And second off, because in case you forgot, you're a cop too.
00:39:20Yeah, that's just it.
00:39:22I did forget.
00:39:23And someone else got hurt.
00:39:26There's no way that you could have known he was gonna do that again.
00:39:29That's my job.
00:39:31My job is to know.
00:39:50Hello?
00:39:52Tony.
00:39:53Hey, it's Charlie.
00:39:56Hey, how come you didn't show off the kettle with the boys, huh?
00:39:58We had a good time.
00:40:00I missed you.
00:40:02How dare you.
00:40:05You know, I thought we were good pals, Tony.
00:40:08Now, uh, you don't, uh, don't go shut me out now.
00:40:11You know, uh, people are gonna start to wander.
00:40:17Get it done right now.
00:40:18Yeah, I will.
00:40:25Uh, excuse me, Chief.
00:40:28What is it, Stroud?
00:40:29I'm running late.
00:40:29Well, I've been waiting to hear from Captain Daly.
00:40:31He said he was gonna talk to you about how the department wants to handle this thing with Charlie.
00:40:35There's a chain of command here, Stroud.
00:40:36Daly told you to wait, you wait.
00:40:38But, sir, Detective Himes wants to question me, and I don't know how much longer I can avoid him.
00:40:42Well, I'm sorry.
00:40:43I can't help you.
00:40:45Stroud.
00:40:47Yes, sir?
00:40:48Your daily logs are passed, too.
00:40:50Well, I put them on your desk this morning.
00:40:52I'm talking about last week's.
00:40:53You did them on the wrong forms.
00:40:54Do them over.
00:40:55Well, we only switched forms yesterday.
00:40:56Just do them, Stroud!
00:40:59Yes, sir.
00:41:05Hey, Betsy.
00:41:07Is Captain Daly around?
00:41:08No, I haven't seen him.
00:41:09But have you heard the latest?
00:41:11What?
00:41:11The media coverage on Charlie is stirring up things.
00:41:14Three more women have filed complaints.
00:41:16For rape?
00:41:17Two rapes, one sexual assault.
00:41:21Looks like Charlie's been a busy boy.
00:41:26Is Himes around?
00:41:28No.
00:41:28You just missed him.
00:41:36Saturday the 12th, the night of the alleged rape.
00:41:39Uh, let's see.
00:41:41I-I do believe that Officer Charlie Lloyd and I were-were bowling that night.
00:41:46In fact, I'm sure of it.
00:41:47Well, Weisberg, you were there.
00:41:49As I recall, you bowled an outstanding $1.99.
00:41:54Hey, Tony, did you-did you hear the latest?
00:41:56Yeah, I heard.
00:41:56All right.
00:41:57That's four now.
00:41:59You gotta wonder if there's more.
00:42:01Well, if there are, we'll just have to deal with him, won't we?
00:42:06What's that supposed to mean?
00:42:07It means we're gonna take care of Charlie.
00:42:09That's what that means.
00:42:11You know, Tony, he's been asking about you.
00:42:13He needs our help.
00:42:15Tony, I think that it would be a good idea to have, uh, a female officer by his side.
00:42:20You know, showing her support.
00:42:24Yeah, right.
00:42:27Come on, let's go.
00:42:27Come on, let's go.
00:42:50Lieutenant Muir, 1-12, respondent.
00:43:01You wanted to see me, sir?
00:43:03That's right, I did, Stroud.
00:43:06Where are your logs?
00:43:08Well, I've been on patrol, sir.
00:43:11I wanted them before you left.
00:43:13But I...
00:43:15Turn around.
00:43:18Turn around.
00:43:24Your shirt is all wrinkled.
00:43:30Well, I've been sitting in a car all night.
00:43:31I don't want to hear your excuses, Stroud.
00:43:33Just get me those logs.
00:43:35What about my shift?
00:43:36Now.
00:43:49How you doing?
00:43:50Oh, I'm tired.
00:43:52I'll take these for you.
00:43:54Thanks.
00:43:54Man, what a...
00:43:56Let's see.
00:43:59Hey, Tony.
00:44:00Hey.
00:44:04Stroud.
00:44:06Come with me.
00:44:31I'm sorry you didn't make it.
00:44:35What do you mean?
00:44:36It's all detailed in performance evaluation.
00:44:53What is this?
00:44:55What happened to the evaluation that you did two months ago?
00:44:58When everything was so good, you said I wouldn't have to do another.
00:45:00We need you to sign it.
00:45:04I won't sign it.
00:45:06This is wrong.
00:45:07I won't sign it.
00:45:10All right.
00:45:11Signature refused.
00:45:15Why are you doing this to me?
00:45:18I need your badge and your weapon.
00:45:52I don't deserve this.
00:45:54And you know it.
00:46:04Tony, what's that?
00:46:05I got fired.
00:46:07What?
00:46:12See, what's going on?
00:46:14She said they fired her.
00:46:15What are you talking about?
00:46:27Tony, I can't believe they did this to you.
00:46:29It isn't right.
00:46:30Well, apparently right has nothing to do with it, Stace.
00:46:32I didn't play by the rules, you know?
00:46:34I ignored the blue wall of silence.
00:46:37And that is why they were getting rid of me.
00:46:41Well, I'll tell you something.
00:46:42It's not going to be that easy.
00:46:44It's not going to be that easy.
00:46:47I know.
00:46:53Her name is Charlene McCrowski.
00:46:55M-C-C-O-R-S-K-Y.
00:46:57She runs a flower shop on Kennedy Street.
00:46:59Seems Charlie asked her out, they did some drinking,
00:47:02got back to her house, and Charlie wouldn't take no for an answer.
00:47:05Thanks.
00:47:06Who else?
00:47:07Ingrid Curtis, C-U-R-T-I-S.
00:47:10This happened back in 92.
00:47:1292?
00:47:13Seems her car broke down, Charlie offered her a ride home.
00:47:15He took a little detour.
00:47:17She says he raped her in the back seat.
00:47:20That's almost two years ago. Why did she wait so long to come forward?
00:47:22Who was she gonna go to? Cops?
00:47:26Anyone else?
00:47:30Lily Davenport. D-A-V-E-N-P-O-R-T.
00:47:33She's an ex-friend to Charlie's and his wife.
00:47:35I don't know the whole story on this one,
00:47:37but apparently it happened during a party at their house last year.
00:47:4193.
00:47:41Mm-hmm.
00:47:45Yes, Helen?
00:47:50Was Miss Stroud to see you about Charlie Lloyd?
00:47:52Oh, that's the female cop I've been trying to interview.
00:47:54They work the same shift.
00:47:56Uh, yes, please send her in, Helen.
00:48:04Tony, glad you could make it.
00:48:06This is Pete Maresca, the assistant D-A.
00:48:08Charlie Lloyd raped me.
00:48:13No, it's all right, Tony. I understand that.
00:48:15But specifically, who did you speak to in the department?
00:48:18Captain Daly.
00:48:19Did you tell him exactly what you told us here today?
00:48:21Yes, I did.
00:48:22And what did he say?
00:48:23He said he would figure out the best way to handle the situation and get back to me.
00:48:27But I never heard from him again.
00:48:29Did you try talking to the chief?
00:48:31Yes, I tried, but he wouldn't talk to me either.
00:48:34He made me feel like I was the one that had committed the crime.
00:48:37Did he say why he wouldn't speak to you?
00:48:39No.
00:48:44I'm down here investigating every day, knowing that there are more victims,
00:48:48and trying my best to find out who those victims are.
00:48:51And lo and behold, there's one right here on the force.
00:48:55And you knew about it.
00:49:00Well?
00:49:03Well, what?
00:49:06Well, I'm sure that you're well aware that withholding evidence is a serious felony.
00:49:11Whoa, you're way out of line, I'm...
00:49:13I'm out of line!
00:49:16Charlie Lloyd is on paid administrative leave.
00:49:20Tony Stroud gets fired.
00:49:21And you have the gall to sit there and tell me that I'm out of line?
00:49:25You don't know Tony Stroud the way we know Tony Stroud.
00:49:28She wasn't cutting it, Himes.
00:49:31Ask any of the men she works with.
00:49:32The woman was on her way out.
00:49:34And she knew it.
00:49:36That's why she grabbed her chance when she saw it.
00:49:40What chance?
00:49:43Ann Davis, the girl at the bakery.
00:49:45When she filed her complaint against Charlie,
00:49:48Tony jumped on the bandwagon.
00:49:50It was her way of putting us on notice.
00:49:53It was Stroud's way of saying,
00:49:54you fire me, there'll be hell to pay.
00:50:05Well, how can they say that?
00:50:07What about the evaluation that Lieutenant Fuhrer gave me,
00:50:09where he marked everything excellent and outstanding?
00:50:12That's not what they're saying now.
00:50:13Well, he's lying.
00:50:14Tony.
00:50:18It's the code, Tony.
00:50:20They're enforcing the code.
00:50:35Hello?
00:50:36You'd better be real careful out there, Tony.
00:50:39I mean, accidents happen.
00:50:50Honey, I am so sorry.
00:50:53She told me when it happened.
00:50:56I know.
00:50:56I know.
00:50:57I wanted to.
00:50:58But I couldn't.
00:50:59I was just, I was so embarrassed.
00:51:01And then when all those women started coming forward,
00:51:03I felt like I was responsible.
00:51:06I know.
00:51:06He's to blame, not you.
00:51:07And I'm the one they fire.
00:51:10Mom, I gotta warn ya.
00:51:12Everybody in town is gonna know about this.
00:51:16And I don't care about them.
00:51:18And my only concern is you.
00:51:22I know.
00:51:25A total of five women have come forward now,
00:51:29including the unidentified female officer.
00:51:33Thank you, Bob.
00:51:34A fire alarm fire.
00:51:35You think they fired her because of Charlie?
00:51:37Yeah.
00:51:38That's embarrassing.
00:51:39And I never did trust her.
00:51:41Give me a break, Hella.
00:51:44Come on, you know she's a good cop.
00:51:45If she cared that much about the department,
00:51:47she wouldn't do this.
00:51:49What are you saying, man?
00:51:50He raped her.
00:51:52That's not the way Charlie tells her.
00:52:04Hey, Jack.
00:52:05Hey, Stacy.
00:52:06Hey, Stacy.
00:52:07We'll see you guys later, okay?
00:52:08Okay, see you home.
00:52:09Don't work too hard.
00:52:17It's getting really weird.
00:52:19They had a meeting yesterday.
00:52:21And they told everybody not to talk to anyone outside of the department.
00:52:24Yeah, Haim said that this would happen.
00:52:26He said they were really gonna come down on me.
00:52:28I hate this.
00:52:28It makes me so angry.
00:52:30I mean, Charlie's facing four felony counts,
00:52:32and you're the one they crucified.
00:52:35Okay, where's Betsy?
00:52:36I thought that she was coming.
00:52:37Well, you know how it is.
00:52:39Just like this.
00:52:42Yeah.
00:52:42Maybe you shouldn't be here either.
00:52:44Oh.
00:52:45What are they gonna do?
00:52:46Take away my ticket book?
00:52:50I have to find a job.
00:52:51Well, how about parking enforcement?
00:52:54You, too.
00:52:54Forty days.
00:52:55You can have all this.
00:52:56You can have this, too.
00:52:59Sorry, we tried to reach you to cancel, but you'd already left.
00:53:02Well, I don't mind waiting.
00:53:03I've come a long way for this interview.
00:53:05But the captain might not be back till nightfall.
00:53:10And I shouldn't bother rescheduling, right?
00:53:29I'm sorry.
00:53:30Didn't see you there.
00:53:31Get lost.
00:53:33Hey!
00:53:35You know, some of our old friends are getting very angry.
00:53:37If I were you, I'd watch it.
00:53:38Things happen.
00:54:00Who's there?
00:54:01Tony, it's me, Dean.
00:54:10Hi.
00:54:11Hi.
00:54:16Oh.
00:54:17I'm so sorry.
00:54:20Why didn't you tell me?
00:54:24I don't know.
00:54:27I guess I thought that I could handle it on my own.
00:54:31And I thought that not telling anyone was the right decision.
00:54:35Who knew that it would turn out to be the worst decision of my life.
00:54:42So, when's the trial?
00:54:45A couple of months.
00:54:47What are you doing in the meantime?
00:54:48A couple of months ago.
00:54:49Well, I'm just working at my father's store.
00:54:54You know, if you want...
00:55:03Can I do anything for you?
00:55:06No, I'm fine.
00:55:07You sure about that?
00:55:08Oh, yeah.
00:55:09Absolutely.
00:55:11None of my friends are talking to me.
00:55:13Except for Stacy.
00:55:14She's been great.
00:55:16Oh, and Heller.
00:55:17Who took time out from his very busy schedule to threaten me.
00:55:20Let's see what else.
00:55:21I am broke.
00:55:22There isn't a police department that will hire me in the country.
00:55:27But other than that, I am just fine.
00:55:33So, I hear you're off to Georgia pretty soon.
00:55:36Yeah.
00:55:37Yeah, it's semester.
00:55:39I gotta get ready.
00:55:42I really hope that works out for you.
00:55:48Tony, I wish I was something I could...
00:55:56Well, um...
00:55:58If you write...
00:56:00I'll write you back.
00:56:06Take care of yourself.
00:56:08Okay.
00:56:26I don't know.
00:56:27I don't know.
00:56:28I don't know.
00:56:32I don't know.
00:56:41I don't know.
00:56:43This guy can just talk to me because I know my name is .
00:56:44I don't know, man.
00:56:45I don't know.
00:56:47I don't know what you're someone I'm trying to know.
00:56:51That's all.
00:56:52I don't know.
00:56:52Oh, oh, oh.
00:57:30Oh, oh, oh.
00:57:54Oh, oh, oh.
00:58:22Oh, oh.
00:58:24Oh, oh.
00:58:26Oh, oh.
00:58:27Oh, oh.
00:58:30Oh, oh.
00:58:31Oh, oh.
00:58:35Oh, oh.
00:59:16Oh, oh.
00:59:23Oh, oh.
00:59:27Oh, oh.
00:59:44Oh, oh.
00:59:58Oh, oh.
00:59:59Oh.
01:00:01Oh.
01:00:02Oh.
01:00:25Oh, oh.
01:00:32Oh, oh.
01:00:37Oh, oh.
01:00:40Oh, oh.
01:00:46Oh, oh.
01:00:53Oh, oh.
01:00:56Oh, oh.
01:01:08Oh, oh.
01:01:08I don't like this, Tony.
01:01:09No.
01:01:11I don't like it at all.
01:01:13Dad, I know that you're worried.
01:01:15I'm scared, too, but I can't back down now.
01:01:19Well, at least just get away for a while.
01:01:21And where am I going to go?
01:01:22I spoke to Aunt Sandra.
01:01:23Oh.
01:01:24I don't want to go to Seattle.
01:01:27Why am I running?
01:01:28I live here.
01:01:29She's, she's right, Jack.
01:01:31No, wait a minute.
01:01:32Think about it.
01:01:33Two weeks on a beach in Bermuda?
01:01:35It'd be great.
01:01:37I do have some good news.
01:01:40What?
01:01:42Well, I was thinking about applying to law school.
01:01:46I know it sounds crazy, but if you think about it,
01:01:49it's not really any different than being a cop.
01:01:51I, I would still be out there getting the bad guys.
01:01:54Ladies and gentlemen, Tony Stroup, attorney at law.
01:01:59Ah!
01:02:02Ah!
01:02:03Ah!
01:02:16License and registration, please.
01:02:25Get out of the car, Miss Stroup.
01:02:30Did I, did I do something wrong, officer?
01:02:33Your taillight's busted.
01:02:35It is?
01:02:39Yes.
01:02:45Your headlight's out, too.
01:02:53Yes, you're absolutely right, officer.
01:02:56How careless of me.
01:02:57You're not gonna lose your temper, are you, Tony?
01:03:01I'm gonna have to sight you on both ways.
01:03:11How you do it.
01:03:34There's a good girl who has covered the water.
01:03:50Good evening, Mr. Stroud.
01:03:52Mrs. Stroud, my name is Pete Mareska.
01:03:54This is Bob Himes.
01:03:55We're from the DA's office for prosecuting Charlie Lloyd.
01:03:58I'd like to speak to your daughter, please.
01:04:02Haven't you done enough?
01:04:05I'm very sorry for your trouble.
01:04:24Hi.
01:04:27Forget it.
01:04:28I don't have anything else to say.
01:04:30Look what they did to my parents' store.
01:04:32Come on, Tony.
01:04:33People play dirty.
01:04:34It doesn't mean that they win.
01:04:35Well, as far as I am concerned, they have won already.
01:04:38They've only won if you give up and let them win.
01:04:42Is that what you're saying, Tony?
01:04:45You gotta give up now and let that bastard walk?
01:04:49Why is this whole thing up to me?
01:04:51What about those other women?
01:04:56Well, there have been some developments.
01:05:00Several more of the women have decided to withdraw their charges.
01:05:04Why?
01:05:06Well, one of them's been getting a lot of threats, and she just got fed up and withdrew.
01:05:10And another one has a new boyfriend that just proposed to her, and he doesn't know anything about the rape.
01:05:17There's more.
01:05:19Ann Davis, the woman from the bakery, apparently she's had a lot of boyfriends.
01:05:23What does that mean?
01:05:25It means they were planning to use that against her.
01:05:28Were?
01:05:30Are you telling me that she's not going to testify?
01:05:37Well, that's great.
01:05:39That doesn't leave much, now does it?
01:05:40Yes, it does.
01:05:42It leaves you.
01:05:45One lousy charge.
01:05:46One count of rape.
01:05:48My word against his.
01:05:49That's right.
01:05:50You were always our most credible witness.
01:05:52And now I'm your only witness.
01:05:54That's right, you are.
01:05:55It's up to you now, Tony.
01:05:57You can put Charlie Lloyd away where he belongs, or you can cut him loose to rape again.
01:06:03They will do anything to protect Charlie.
01:06:07I don't think that I can do this anymore.
01:06:12What are you saying?
01:06:15That I want my life back.
01:06:31Counselor?
01:06:32Thank you, Your Honor.
01:06:33Ladies and gentlemen, I just want to remind you that we are here today to try Charlie Lloyd for the
01:06:39rape of Tony Stroud.
01:06:40Miss Stroud is not on trial here today.
01:06:42Miss Stroud was an exceptional young police officer.
01:06:45She was conscientious, hardworking, dedicated.
01:06:47She was the kind of officer that would always go the extra mile.
01:06:50The kind of officer that you wanted on your team.
01:06:52In fact, ladies and gentlemen, everyone on the force felt that way about her.
01:06:56Until that day that she had to come forward to tell the very painful truth.
01:07:03The truth, ladies and gentlemen, is that there is no truth.
01:07:08The truth is that there was no rape.
01:07:11The truth is that Tony Stroud wasn't cutting it as a police officer.
01:07:16And that in a last desperate bid to save her job, she simply fabricated the charges against Charlie Lloyd.
01:07:23Indeed, that is the truth.
01:07:25And that is what we intend to prove during the course of this trial.
01:07:50Tony, who's this guy?
01:07:53Can I talk to you for a second?
01:07:55Yeah, it's okay.
01:07:56You sure?
01:07:56It's okay.
01:07:57I'll be right across the street.
01:08:02How you doing?
01:08:04Never better.
01:08:08Look, I'm really sorry for everything that's happened to you, Tony.
01:08:12I've been wanting to tell you that for a long time.
01:08:15You're a good cop.
01:08:16You didn't deserve this.
01:08:19Thanks.
01:08:21I hope they nail him for what he did to you.
01:08:24And what he did to our department.
01:08:27Yeah, well, I wish everyone felt that way.
01:08:29Maybe then I'd stand half a chance.
01:08:31Well, anyway, I'm rooting for you.
01:08:39Hey, give him help, all right?
01:08:49I love you.
01:08:50Has it been 20 minutes yet?
01:08:51Our takeout must be ready.
01:08:53I thought I was doing it.
01:08:54No, I need a break.
01:08:56Okay, so that old place in the, uh, the Lansing Mini Mall?
01:08:59Oh, yeah, right.
01:09:00I know.
01:09:02Buddy.
01:09:07I love you.
01:09:12I love you too, Daddy.
01:09:33I love you too, Daddy.
01:10:03Take it easy, take it easy now.
01:10:04Take it easy, I don't touch you.
01:10:07Now don't get mad at me, all right?
01:10:09I'm not gonna hurt you.
01:10:12Okay, I just need to talk to you.
01:10:16Okay?
01:10:19Listen.
01:10:23In a few days, they're gonna put you on that stand.
01:10:27I'm here to ask you not to go through with it.
01:10:30Come on, tell me, what do you want me to say, all right?
01:10:32What do you want me to do?
01:10:34My life is ruined already.
01:10:35Your life?
01:10:36What about my life?
01:10:39Do you have any idea how hard I worked to become a cop?
01:10:42Do you have any idea what that meant to me?
01:10:44And then you just come along and you take it all away, you bastard.
01:10:47I came here to give you a chance.
01:10:50You got no idea what they're gonna do to you when they put you on that stand.
01:10:53You haven't got a prayer.
01:10:54And when this whole thing is over with,
01:10:57after you lose,
01:10:58after you've been publicly humiliated,
01:11:01it's not gonna be over.
01:11:06No, you're not gonna be safe anywhere you go.
01:11:10Not here, not anywhere.
01:11:14What do you think about that?
01:11:27Mr. Theriot, sir, you were quoted in this newspaper as saying,
01:11:33Charlie and I just want to put this behind us, close quote.
01:11:36Did you make that statement?
01:11:38Don't recall making that statement?
01:11:40No.
01:11:41Is Charlie Lloyd a good friend of yours?
01:11:44Not particularly, no.
01:11:45But he's a good officer and a good man.
01:11:47Could you just please answer the question, see?
01:11:49Because what I'm driving at here
01:11:50is why you chose not to act
01:11:53after you were informed of the rape.
01:11:55Why?
01:11:56That is my question, sir.
01:11:58Because I was told that her reasons for coming forward
01:12:00might be questionable.
01:12:01That's why.
01:12:02I see.
01:12:02And who told you this?
01:12:03Objection, Your Honor.
01:12:04Hearsay?
01:12:05Overruled.
01:12:06Well, you may answer the question.
01:12:11Captain Daly told me.
01:12:13And you believed him?
01:12:14Who am I supposed to believe?
01:12:16Her?
01:12:18And why not her?
01:12:20Because I know Daly.
01:12:21I've known him for years.
01:12:23Stroud was just a rookie, practically a stranger.
01:12:25But other women in the community had come forward with similar...
01:12:28Objection, Your Honor.
01:12:29Sustained.
01:12:30That last remark will be stricken from the record.
01:12:34Watch yourself, Counselor.
01:12:36I will, and I do beg your pardon, Your Honor.
01:12:38So, a newcomer can file a complaint,
01:12:41but because of her status, or lack of status,
01:12:43her complaint is ignored,
01:12:44and the word of a senior man is held as gospel.
01:12:48Is that the way it goes, sir?
01:12:50You don't understand the way the department works, do you?
01:12:52Obviously, I do not, sir.
01:12:54Please, tell us.
01:12:55You ever heard of a chain of command, Counselor?
01:12:57I can't worry about every cop on the force.
01:13:00The only time a cop's name comes up is when they're in trouble.
01:13:02And I can tell you one thing.
01:13:04Tony Stroud's name had been coming up plenty.
01:13:11Please tell us, Captain Daly,
01:13:13is it not departmental procedure
01:13:15to report all complaints involving a felony
01:13:18to the prosecutor's office?
01:13:20Yes, it is.
01:13:21Then why, sir, did you not follow this policy
01:13:24in regards to Miss Stroud's complaint?
01:13:27Her story just didn't add up.
01:13:29Why is that?
01:13:30She seemed more concerned about her job
01:13:32than she did about anything that happened
01:13:33between her and Charlie Lloyd.
01:13:34Excuse me, sir.
01:13:35Suddenly, you're the psychologist here.
01:13:36Suddenly, you're the judge and the jury in this matter.
01:13:39Objection?
01:13:39Badgering the witness?
01:13:40Sustained.
01:13:41Counsel will put questions to the witness
01:13:43and refrain from making derogatory observations.
01:13:46I will do so, and I do beg your pardon, Your Honor.
01:13:48Now, Captain Daly,
01:13:50after Miss Stroud reported the rape to you,
01:13:54there was a staff meeting.
01:13:56Is that not correct?
01:13:57I believe so, yes.
01:13:58We meet every second Monday.
01:14:00All right.
01:14:00And how many people attended this staff meeting?
01:14:02Eleven.
01:14:03Including yourself and Chief Theriot.
01:14:06Is that correct?
01:14:07Yes.
01:14:07All right.
01:14:07Now, sometime during this meeting,
01:14:10someone recommended terminating Officer Tony Stroud.
01:14:14Is that not correct?
01:14:15Yes.
01:14:16And do you remember who that somebody was?
01:14:18Objection, Your Honor.
01:14:19Overruled.
01:14:20You may answer the question.
01:14:23No, I don't remember.
01:14:24But I do remember that I seconded the motion.
01:14:27Oh, you did?
01:14:28And on what grounds, sir?
01:14:31On the grounds that she didn't do her job.
01:14:33According to whom?
01:14:34According to me.
01:14:35And according to Chief Theriot
01:14:36and according to the nine other people in that room.
01:14:39They all knew Tony.
01:14:42And not one of them said a word in her defense.
01:14:59Hold the inside, okay?
01:15:00All right.
01:15:10Hiya, Tony.
01:15:11Tell me something.
01:15:12Have you thought about what your life is going to be like
01:15:14after Charlie's acquitted?
01:15:20Excuse me.
01:15:21Excuse me.
01:15:21Is there a problem?
01:15:23Boys?
01:15:25No.
01:15:27No problem.
01:15:29Good.
01:15:33See you on the outside, Stroud.
01:15:40While this was happening,
01:15:42did you apply any physical resistance to him?
01:15:45Yes, I did.
01:15:46But he is a lot stronger than me
01:15:48and he had me pinned down.
01:15:51I know this is very painful and difficult for you, Tony,
01:15:54but you must tell us now
01:15:55exactly what happened next.
01:16:00Um, it was very fast.
01:16:02He, um, he climbed on top of me
01:16:05and forced my legs apart and raped me.
01:16:10Now, prior to this occasion,
01:16:12had you ever had any discussion with Charlie Lloyd
01:16:15about having sex with him?
01:16:16No.
01:16:18Did you ever have any sort of romantic interest
01:16:20in Charlie Lloyd?
01:16:21No.
01:16:22Did you believe, prior to this incident,
01:16:25that Charlie Lloyd ever had any sort of romantic interest in you?
01:16:28No.
01:16:29Did you report this incident
01:16:30to your superior in the police department
01:16:33at the time it happened?
01:16:34No, I did not.
01:16:36And why not?
01:16:37I was afraid.
01:16:39Afraid of what?
01:16:42Um, I was still under review
01:16:45and I thought that it would affect my job.
01:16:47And how would reporting a rape
01:16:49by a fellow police officer
01:16:50have any effect on your job?
01:16:52It would have been my word against his.
01:16:55He had been on the force for many years
01:16:57and had many friends in the department.
01:16:59I was new.
01:17:01And you depend on the people you work with
01:17:04to back you up in the field.
01:17:05I was afraid that they wouldn't be there.
01:17:08So I decided not to say anything.
01:17:11And I thought that I could handle it on my own.
01:17:17Your Honor.
01:17:19Why did you pick Captain Daly to tell?
01:17:22Because he had always been there for me.
01:17:25I trusted him.
01:17:26He let me down.
01:17:27Yet you knew he would get in trouble
01:17:29if at some point it came out
01:17:30that you had told him about the alleged rape
01:17:32and he never reported it.
01:17:34Right?
01:17:35No, that thought never crossed my mind.
01:17:38It never occurred to you
01:17:39that you were putting him in a delicate situation?
01:17:42No.
01:17:43In fact, I didn't even have time to think about it.
01:17:45I...
01:17:46He caught me at a bad moment.
01:17:48Let's review some of the things
01:17:49you told Captain Daly.
01:17:53Did Charlie Lloyd make any verbal threats
01:17:55during the alleged attack?
01:17:57No.
01:17:58And he never threatened to use a weapon?
01:18:00No.
01:18:00Or hit you if you resisted?
01:18:02No.
01:18:03Did he in fact hit you?
01:18:04No, but he is a lot...
01:18:05I did a lot of advice, Miss Stroud.
01:18:06Now, I understand from your deposition
01:18:08that you were quite confused about how to react.
01:18:10Is that correct?
01:18:11Yes, of course I was confused.
01:18:13Confused about your feelings for Charlie Lloyd.
01:18:15Objection!
01:18:16And about what you wanted from...
01:18:17Objection, Your Honor!
01:18:19Objection!
01:18:20Counselor...
01:18:21I'm sorry, Your Honor.
01:18:22It won't happen again.
01:18:23Tell me, Miss Stroud,
01:18:25what did you do immediately after the alleged rape?
01:18:32I...
01:18:34I took a shower.
01:18:36Is this what you would normally advise a rape victim to do?
01:18:39No, but I...
01:18:40Aren't rape victims supposed to get themselves
01:18:41to the nearest hospital and report the crime?
01:18:44Yes.
01:18:44And yet you showered.
01:18:46You washed away all the evidence
01:18:47and waited for your boyfriend to come home.
01:18:50That's not fair.
01:18:51I told you why I didn't...
01:18:52Yes, we've heard it!
01:18:53Because you were worried about your job.
01:18:55Yes.
01:18:56Well, you know something, Miss Stroud?
01:18:58I find this very interesting.
01:19:01You claim that things only started falling apart
01:19:04after you reported the alleged rape.
01:19:06But it seems to me that on the very day you claim it happened,
01:19:09you were already worrying about your job.
01:19:14I also understand that you have filed a claim against the city.
01:19:18Objection, Your Honor.
01:19:19Not pertinent.
01:19:20Overruled.
01:19:21You may proceed.
01:19:22Thank you, Your Honor.
01:19:25You believe the city terminated you
01:19:27immediately after you reported the alleged rape.
01:19:30Is that right?
01:19:31Yes.
01:19:32So it's fair to say that you also believe
01:19:34that in order to maintain a successful lawsuit against the city,
01:19:37you have to convince this jury that you really were raped.
01:19:49No, that is not fair to say at all.
01:19:52Are you trying to tell me that you actually think,
01:19:55as you sit here today,
01:19:56that if Charlie Lloyd is acquitted of your rape,
01:19:58you will still have a successful lawsuit against the city?
01:20:02Yes.
01:20:02On the grounds that you were fired because you were raped?
01:20:04Those are not the grounds.
01:20:06The grounds are I was fired
01:20:07because I told a department person what happened to me.
01:20:10And that person not only failed to do anything,
01:20:12but the sanctions that he took against me
01:20:14resulted in my termination.
01:20:16That has nothing to do with whether or not Charlie Lloyd raped me.
01:20:20It has to do with what they did with that information.
01:20:23Those are two separate and distinct issues.
01:20:26And if this trial proves anything,
01:20:28it's that I was right all along about what would happen.
01:20:31The minute I came forward,
01:20:33these people have done nothing but try to destroy me and my family.
01:20:39Very impressive show, Miss Stroud.
01:20:41No more questions?
01:20:42Redirect, Your Honor.
01:20:44Now, Tony,
01:20:46before that terrible day,
01:20:48you didn't really have a worry in the world, did you?
01:20:51No, I did not.
01:20:52Please, the court.
01:20:53Your Honor, I refer to State Exhibit B.
01:20:55And isn't it true
01:20:56that you had received
01:20:57the best job evaluation of your career
01:21:00just a few days prior to the rape?
01:21:02Yes, that's true.
01:21:03And were you not looking forward
01:21:04to the fulfillment of a lifelong dream?
01:21:07I was.
01:21:09I love being a police officer.
01:21:12I was a good officer.
01:21:16But I made a mistake.
01:21:20I kept quiet about something
01:21:21that I shouldn't have.
01:21:24And I convinced myself
01:21:25that that was the only sensible thing to do.
01:21:28Please go on, Tony.
01:21:30Tell us what happened next.
01:21:35Something...
01:21:40Something happened
01:21:40that made me realize
01:21:41that I was wrong to keep quiet.
01:21:46It occurred to me
01:21:47that there were probably
01:21:49hundreds of thousands of women out there
01:21:53who at one time
01:21:56or another
01:21:58had kept quiet about something
01:22:02equally horrible
01:22:03or perhaps even more horrible
01:22:07and that they did it
01:22:08because they were like me.
01:22:11They were frightened.
01:22:15Frightened for their jobs.
01:22:18Frightened of their husbands
01:22:19or their boyfriends.
01:22:22Frightened by the community.
01:22:25And I thought fear
01:22:27is not a good reason
01:22:28to keep silent.
01:22:30It is wrong
01:22:31and it is selfish
01:22:32and other women might get hurt.
01:22:38So I am glad
01:22:39that I came forward.
01:22:42very glad.
01:22:45Because it has made me realize
01:22:47that I can never again afford
01:22:49to be afraid.
01:23:06The jury has a lot to consider.
01:23:07It could take a while.
01:23:08I just want this to be over with.
01:23:11I know.
01:23:14I've never seen my father cry before.
01:23:21I just want you to know, Tony,
01:23:22no matter what happens,
01:23:24whatever the verdict is,
01:23:26and I'm very proud of you.
01:23:33Thanks.
01:23:35Thanks.
01:23:41Thanks.
01:23:47Thanks to her.
01:23:51Thanks, Ante.
01:23:53Thanks, Ante.
01:23:54Well, my mamma,
01:23:56you
01:23:56go over.
01:24:00Thanks, Ante.
01:24:07Has the jury reached a verdict?
01:24:09Yes, Your Honor, we have.
01:24:11May I have it, please?
01:24:21Will the defendant please rise?
01:24:32The jury finds the defendant guilty as charged.
01:24:37May I please take the defendant into custody, pending sentencing on the 26th of this month.
01:25:09How's the strong love?
01:25:10I suppose it is.
01:25:34Ms. Stroud? Ms. Stroud?
01:25:39Ann Davis, do you remember me?
01:25:43Yes, I do.
01:25:45I just... I just wanted to tell you thank you.
01:26:00In the United States, a rape is reported once every five minutes.
01:26:04In 40% of rapes reported to the police, the rape is to someone the victim knows.
01:26:10Most rapes go unreported.
01:26:48I just wanted to tell you.
