NARRATOR: In the criminal justice system,
sexually based offenses are considered especially heinous. Ripped By mstoll
In New York City,
the dedicated detectives who investigate these vicious felonies
are members of an elite squad known as the Special Victims Unit.
These are their stories.
(AUDIENCE CHEERING)
Anyone here go to T.S. U?
(ALL CHEERING)
(CHANTING) T.S.U! T.S.U! T.S.U!
I figured. It's a... It's a party school.
I hear you guys canceled Christmas this year. Is that true?
Yeah. Apparently, you couldn't find three wise men
in your whole school. (ALL LAUGH)
Or one virgin.
(ALL LAUGH)
"T.S.U." What does that even stand for?
Oh. "Trashed Slut University."
Yeah. (ALL LAUGH)
Or, uh, "Totally Swallow U".
(ALL CHEERING)
Right? You know what I'm saying.
I heard you guys instituted a... What do you call it...
A rape trolley on your campus?
What is that all about? It's for women only? What about men?
Oh, that's right.
When men get date-raped, it's called something completely different.
It's called "getting lucky."
(ALL CHEERING)
No, seriously, there are some upsides to getting raped.
Rape is no joke. Rape is no joke.
Uh, right, guys? I mean...
(BOOING)
If you, uh...
(BOOING CONTINUES)
Okay. That's terrific.
If you rape a girl,
chances are she's not gonna ask you,
"Where is this relationship going?"
Rape is not funny! Yeah!
Hey, girl. You're not funny. Go home!
(ALL CHEERING)
Hey! Whoo! Whatever!
Hey, hey.
Let's... Let's not heckle and boo our feminist sisters.
After all, if anyone knows what's funny
and what's not funny, it's a feminist.
One in four.
I'm sorry?
One in four.
Do you... Do you have something to say, sweetheart?
Come on up on stage. Let's... Let's discuss this.
Come on. It's okay.
I'll give you the microphone. Come on up.
Do you have... Do you have something to say?
Please.
Tell everybody your name.
I'm Renee Clark,
with STAR, "Students Together Against Rape."
The truth is, on our own campus,
one in four women will experience sexual assault.
JOSH: Is that true? One in four.
Renee is absolutely right. Rape is not funny.
Gang-rape, on the other hand, is frigging hysterical.
(ALL LAUGH) No. No, seriously, Renee.
No. It's the rule of threes.
One guy rapes you. That's not funny.
Two guys rape you? That's tragic.
Three guys rape you, that's comedy.
Renee, if you got gang-raped tonight,
you would get that.
(ALL CHEER)
You're sick. Oh, come on. These are funny jokes.
You can laugh now... Renee Clark, ladies and gentlemen.
Let's give her a big hand. (CLAPPING)
She'll be here all week.
(INDISTINCT TALK)
Hey, it's Renee.
Hey, Renee.
You were great up there, honey. And you were right.
Rape isn't funny.
No. Leave me alone.
Hey. But gang-rape... See, that's funny.
Uh-huh. Because, you see, there's three of us.
Ooh. You, me, and Chad.
Rule of threes. (BLOWS WHISTLE)
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
(CHUCKLES) RENEE: Get off me, please.
T.S. U! T.S. U!
Trash Slut University.
You ready, bro? Come on, come on. (LAUGHING)
Come on, come on, come on. Follow the whistle. (SHUSHING)
Oh, yeah. Stop.
Follow the whistle. Follow the whistle.
Oh.
Ah! Whoa.
(AUDIENCE LAUGHING)
JOSH: No, seriously. Are there any guys looking to get laid tonight?
(ALL CHEERING)
Listen to me. It's...
It's very hard for a girl to say no
if she's having a good time,
if you treat her with respect,
and if her mouth is full of Members Only.
Goodnight, everybody! (ALL CHEERING)
My name is Josh Galloway. That was fantastic.
Goodnight, kids! Goodnight!
(ALL CHEERING)
They grabbed me and
pushed me around and...
I managed to get my whistle back,
which is what made them panic and run.
You did great, Renee.
You got yourself out of the situation.
And you know these boys?
Sean Brady and Chad Smith.
They live in my dorm.
They must have followed me
out of the Comic Strip Live last night.
Josh Galloway was performing.
One of those rape joke comics?
Me and my friends were trying to send a message that
rape isn't a joke at T.S.U.
So, you were there protesting?
Yes. But then,
Josh called me up on stage, said it would be funny
if I were gang-raped.
That's why Sean and Chad assaulted me.
It's like Josh gave them permission.
BENSON: We're gonna see what charges
we can bring against these boys.
But Renee, I...
I just wanna make sure that you're...
That you're ready to go through all this again.
I am.
That's why I came straight to you.
I didn't even call campus security.
You need to go after Josh Galloway.
If he hadn't egged them on,
they never would have gone after me.
Josh didn't egg us on.
It was just a joke. It's part of his act.
But you did grab Renee, right?
Frighten her? Just messing around.
She's gotta lighten up.
Come on. The girl can't take a joke?
I like Renee.
You've sure got a funny way of showing it.
I felt bad. She got heckled on stage.
We were just trying to have some fun.
(SIGHS) College idiots.
They did assault Renee. They knew that she was a survivor
and an activist on campus.
They targeted her.
I can ask for a temporary restraining order,
but maybe she should change dorms.
Ah. So, it's the victim who should change her life.
What about Galloway?
Gallow-who?
Josh Galloway, the comic.
Come on, he's kind of a big deal.
One of those snarky cable TV hosts. Mmm-hmm.
People magazine's "Most Eligible Comedians."
Hold up. This guy assaulted Renee, too?
No, but he did verbally assault her.
He incited those boys.
He made some joke
about how it would be funny if she were gang-raped.
You have heard of free speech, right? (SIGHS)
I cannot charge a guy with bad joke-telling.
Okay. What about hate speech?
I mean, he's basically advocating rape.
Sean and Chad heard his act,
then they followed Renee out.
That makes Galloway an accessory.
If I tell a guy with a gun
I want my husband dead...
False equivalency.
You'd have to prove his intent.
Okay. So, are there any other charges against this guy?
Assault? Harassment?
Nothing on record. But we can do some digging.
Well, why don't we go to him first?
And tell him that the girl
that he dragged up on stage and humiliated
was assaulted by two of his fans.
NICK: I just hate this guy.
He thinks rape's a joke?
Does he have a sister, a mother, a daughter?
Those aren't the kind of questions we'll be asking.
Hey! Come on in, Detectives.
It's Sergeant Benson. Oh, congratulations.
So, you wear the pants.
Okay, Toody and Muldoon, what can I do for you?
Didn't the front desk tell you we were on our way up?
Yeah, yeah. They pulled me out of the shower.
Whoa.
You like the view?
Not really.
Ah, nothing beats a penthouse view in New York City.
Are you kids hungry?
Because I could order up some room service.
Ah, they make sliders here that are absolutely insane.
NICK: We're good. All right.
What, uh... What can I do for you?
Renee Clark. She went to your show last night.
She was protesting.
Oh? Was she?
Mmm. First set? Second set?
I do 150 shows a year.
You're gonna have to be a little more specific.
Blond, brunette, redhead, cleavage?
You pulled her up on stage.
I did? Okay.
If you say so.
What's the problem?
She was assaulted by two college boys last night
after the show.
Oh. Wow.
That's too bad.
But what's this got to do with me?
You told the audience it would be funny if she were gang-raped?
No. Actually, that's out of context.
The joke is, "Rape is not funny.
"Gang-rape is funny."
Rule of threes. You get it?
No. No, of course not.
It was a joke.
I'm a comedian. I was playing to the crowd.
They were rowdy, but everybody knew I was kidding.
No, the boys didn't.
No, no, no. You can't be serious.
You're not suggesting that an...
That an artist can be held responsible
for how an audience responds to his material.
Oh, so, you're an artist?
I'm a performer. I have a right to free speech.
Yeah, you're also a witness to the
events that led up to the assault.
So, we're going to ask you to ID the assailants.
I'll tell you the truth. I'm on stage,
it's just lights in my face.
I just hear the laughs.
Drunk and stoned college students?
Real tough crowd.
Ah, come on. I get it.
You're not a fan. Right?
But before you judge me, at least come see my show.
I'm playing T.S.U. Again. We're done.
I can get you V.I.P. Tickets.
Do you have a significant other? What about you?
Hey, why don't you bring your wife?
No, thanks.
Hey. Sergeant.
How... How about you?
You seem like, uh, a very intelligent woman.
I'm assuming you don't want to, uh,
make assumptions about my show until you've actually seen it.
Ten o'clock.
(AUDIENCE CHEERING)
Lance Rizzo, ladies and gentlemen!
Come on! Give it up for him.
Give it up.
Freaking weirdo.
He lives with his mother.
As man and wife.
You guys ready for our special guest?
Let's just keep an open mind, all right?
This guy used to be funny.
He was a smart comedian.
He just never got any attention until he started this rape shtick.
ANNOUNCER: Fresh out of rehab.
My man. The one, the only.
Give it up for Josh Galloway!
(ALL CHEERING)
Thank you!
Two nights in a row at your fine university.
It's a little scary, though.
It kind of feels like a commitment.
(AUDIENCE LAUGHS) I thought you said the guy was funny.
Just relax, Liv. Come on.
What's wrong, honey? Am I interrupting?
You're not a fan?
It's okay. It's okay.
She's a cop.
(AUDIENCE BOOING)
They're all cops. Ladies and gentlemen,
Manhattan Special Victims! Victims, everybody!
Let's give them a round of applause. (SCATTERED CLAPPING)
They're here tonight
because they think my set is too suggestive.
It might incite men to rape.
What?
No, no, no, no, no. That... That's okay.
Uh, you know, as long as you're here, there's a lot of confusion
about this whole "consent" thing.
I'm not talking about rape-rape. No, no, no.
I'm talking about the "he said, she-said,
"we came back to my place, we were both drunk,
"and now that he didn't call me back the next morning,
"I think I might have been raped" rape.
(AUDIENCE LAUGHS)
Professional opinion. You guys are pros, right?
There are a lot of guys in this house tonight looking to get laid.
Am I right? (ALL CHEERING)
But what should they do?
I mean, should they get written consent first?
Should they videotape the whole thing? Me, I'm old fashioned.
I like to hang onto the bar receipts
which shows that I paid for her six drinks.
(AUDIENCE LAUGHS)
That ought to be proof enough, right?
Wow, that's funny.
(AUDIENCE BOOING) Oh, Sarge, what's wrong?
Are you not having a good time? Chill out.
Relax. Have fun.
Let me get you a drink. It's on me.
Can I keep the receipt, though? I'm kidding.
(AUDIENCE LAUGHS) I'm kidding. I'm kidding.
This is me leaving your table. I'm sorry.
Cops. Where was I? Six. Six drinks. Six drinks.
Last night. (GASPS)
Last night, I banged one of T.S.U.'s
finest Trashed Sluts.
(AUDIENCE CHEERING) Oh, yeah.
This little spinner
came back to my hotel room
and proceeded to order a crap ton of room service.
I'm talking champagne, mozzarella sticks.
That's classy.
And we have some mind-blowing sex.
(AUDIENCE CHEERING)
I think I did. I don't know. I was so hammered, I don't remember.
But my question to you guys is,
was that rape?
We were both drunk, in my hotel room, in my bed.
Completely naked. All right, I had my socks on.
It's a good look. But seriously, was it rape?
Because I read once that a feminist said
anytime a girl has sex and is drunk,
that's considered rape.
(AUDIENCE BOOS)
I mean, I'm half Irish.
So, if that's true,
that means all the women on my dad's side of the family
were raped by all the men in that family
going back 20 frigging generations!
Come on. We're done.
(IN IRISH ACCENT) I think I finally know what to get me grandmum for Christmas.
I'm gonna get her a rape kit.
BENSON: Anybody else need a shower? He's vile.
He's baiting you, Liv. Come on.
Master-baiting.
ROLLINS: I mean, look. He's offensive, but we can't charge him. Right?
I mean, one man's poison... WOMAN: Excuse me?
Are you guys really SVU detectives?
They are, yeah.
Can I help you?
I think so. Um...
You know that drunk T.S.U. Girl that Josh was talking about in the set?
Yeah.
That's me.
And I think he raped me.
I'm on the Student Association board.
I helped organize Josh's event.
So, I just
stayed around after his sets
to make sure everything was okay.
Josh saw me at my table,
and he bought me a drink at the bar.
One drink?
Well, then, another.
And another after that.
Was he drinking, too?
Yeah. But,
I kind of had a head start.
I had a few during the show.
Well, that's... That's okay.
It's good that you're being straight with us.
Yeah.
And then, we danced a little.
We kind of made out.
And as they were closing up the bar,
he said that he had a car waiting for him outside.
And he offered to drop you at your dorm?
He said he had a really cool hotel room,
paid for by the Student Association,
so I should come by and see it.
(CHUCKLES)
I mean, I remember getting there.
He said we had champagne last night.
I just... I can't remember very much from that night.
It's all really hazy.
Except for when, you know, I woke up.
The next morning.
In the middle of the night.
I was
face down in a pillow.
I had my legs hanging off the bed.
And he was inside of me.
I wasn't used to where he was.
And it hurt a lot.
Well, did you tell him to stop, say no?
Yes, both.
But he just said,
"Hang on, doll, I'm almost finished."
Did you leave right away?
I was just too out of it.
Then, the next morning,
he gave me a swag bag with a cap
and a T-shirt and some gift cards.
Whoa. Wait a minute.
A gift bag?
He has them in his closet.
Okay. Um...
Carly, did you tell anybody about what had happened?
No.
I sent him...
Or I wrote him an email,
but I never sent it.
Okay, well, it's...
It's probably in your saved drafts folder. So, don't delete it.
Don't edit it. Don't even open it.
Okay, Carly?
Oh, great. This isn't just gray. It's satyagraha gray.
Look, it's pretty black and white to me.
Have you seen the clips from Galloway's act?
A comic who makes rape jokes is not the same thing as a rapist.
You have anything more concrete?
We're waiting for the rape kit results,
but a preliminary examination shows
forceful anal penetration
with bruising, tearing, and swelling.
And she didn't realize
she was raped until Josh made fun of her in his monologue?
It wasn't a monologue, it was a confession.
Maybe to you. To him, it was his act.
If we go after him based on his stand-up routine,
he is going to claim he's being persecuted for free speech.
He may not be entirely wrong.
This guy is a classic power-assertive rapist.
He probably takes home, what, ten girls a month?
Yeah. Eight say yes, two say no,
he has sex with them anyway. We should pick him up.
No immediate outcry, fuzzy memory, she spent the night.
I take it you haven't found any other victims?
He gives "post-sex" swag bags. Get us a warrant for his financials.
We might be able to track down some more vics that way.
A warrant. Okay. You know that's a reach.
Get me another vic, then we can talk.
Carly is one of those party girls.
She even heckled me at the club that night.
It's ironic that now, she wants my help.
And here you are helping her.
Yeah, I don't want her to regret reporting.
But why haven't you arrested Josh yet? She's not lying.
And we believe her story.
It's just... Cases like this are complicated.
Nick, any luck on tracking those, uh, gift bags?
Well, it would be a lot easier if we had his business records.
Hey, we did find something interesting.
Okay. Out of his 120 bookings in the last year,
Galloway canceled only one.
It was in Albany. Now, the student union guy was pissed off.
Said that the police held him up at his previous gig in New Paltz.
Okay, the New Paltz PD would only confirm
that they questioned Galloway about an accusation.
And that D.A. Didn't press charges either?
No, the girl recanted.
So, let's find out why.
AUDREY: I shouldn't be talking to you.
FIN: Is that part of your deal for the diamond watch?
Josh was just being nice.
When he raped you?
What happened, Audrey?
I was drunk.
It was just rougher than I'm used to.
Everybody likes it differently, I guess.
I think he thought it was normal.
Because he gave you a gift bag?
How did you know about that?
You're not the first one to accuse him.
Audrey, did you keep the bag?
I can't talk about it.
There's nothing in your nondisclosure agreement
about showing us what was in that bag, was there?
There's, like, $4 left on the L'Avonique gift card,
but the rest is untouched.
Might be enough to get us a warrant.
Turns out his gift cards are cheaper by the dozen.
Galloway buys them in twelve packs.
Now, L'Avonique pulled the serial numbers,
we traced the ones that were used to the recipients.
Okay. We know he's got his share of groupies on the road.
Any of them claiming rape?
Well, most of the girls I talked to on the phone said the sex was consensual.
Now, a few said he was aggressive,
but none felt comfortable pressing charges.
Look, even if they were,
there was no outcry.
There's no charges filed.
No judge will admit prior bad acts.
It's more prejudicial than probative.
You said that you wanted a pattern.
Here is your pattern.
He's a bad guy, and we have a complainant.
If I go after this guy, it's no slam dunk.
We know that.
But it's the right thing to do.
Or doesn't that matter?
Is he still in town? (SIGHS)
Oh, no. What happened to the pretty blond and the bad-ass sergeant?
Cut the shtick. You recognize this girl?
I don't know. You got one of the top of her head?
I'm kidding.
Carly Rydell. She's accusing you of rape.
You won't be able to shut her up with a diamond watch.
You talking about New Paltz?
Audrey, that little chuckle-slut.
She recanted, and so will this girl.
Guys, you don't have a case. Our D.A. Disagrees.
Great. You guys want a political case?
Fantastic. I'm the right guy.
Well, this would be a good time to call your attorney.
Are you arresting me? I love it.
Let's do it right here. We've got paparazzi out front.
We could make a little show.
Hey, Jay Z, will you grab my bag?
Josh Galloway, you're under arrest.
Cameras ready? You have the right to remain silent.
Let's do this. I would like to dedicate... FIN: Walk.
my arrest to Mr. Lenny Bruce.
NYPD crucified him, too.
I will get both of us cleared. (CAMERAS CLICKING)
Attica! Attica!
Josh Galloway is a social critic and satirist.
His material is controversial, provocative,
and protected by free speech.
But with our new politically correct Benetton Mayor,
the D.A. And the NYPD are going back
to their golden era of censorship.
(REPORTERS CLAMORING)
REPORTER: Josh, is rape funny?
No. No, of course not.
What about gang-rape?
(MALE REPORTER LAUGHS)
No. No, I have respect for all women,
many of whom are my fans.
(REPORTERS CLAMORING)
"Josh, I'm really confused
"about what happened last night.
"It was fun at first, but you so crossed the line.
"I'm really sore.
"I don't get why you didn't listen to me
"when I said stop.
"It wasn't okay what you did to me."
You drafted this email, but you didn't send it.
Why was that?
I had to work with him later that night.
So...
I'm the student activity chair.
I'm the one who organized his event.
RAFAEL: Okay.
Let's go back to the night before.
You went to Josh's show.
You had drinks with him at the bar.
You went to his hotel room, willingly?
That's right.
RAFAEL: You kissed him?
You got into bed with him?
He was very forceful.
But you went along with it?
At first.
But then, the room was spinning.
And I must have passed out.
When I woke up, he was...
Sodomizing me.
And it hurt.
I said no.
I was crying.
RAFAEL: But he didn't listen?
No.
He just did whatever he wanted.
And then, you stayed the night?
I was too drunk to leave on my own.
So, I slept on the bathroom floor.
Thank you.
Your witness.
Carly, you attended six of Mr. Galloway's shows last year.
Are you a groupie?
CARLY: I was a fan.
COUNSELOR CALHOUN: Did you want to sleep with him?
I wasn't sure what I wanted.
But you made out with him at the bar.
You agreed to go to his hotel.
I was flattered that he was interested.
You drank with him.
You ordered room service.
You laid down on his bed.
Can you see why he got the impression you wanted to have sex?
That wasn't sex.
I would never have sex there.
And I definitely did not want that.
I told him it hurt. COUNSELOR CALHOUN: You felt pain?
Because it sounds like you were feeling
no pain the rest of the night. Objection.
COUNSELOR CALHOUN: How many drinks did you have that night, Ms. Rydell?
I lost track. Let me help.
According to the bartender at the club,
you had four drinks during the shows. (SIGHS)
Then, three at the bar with my client.
I guess. I was nervous.
Then, back in his room,
did you have any of the champagne you ordered?
I admit I was drunk.
Are you usually a binge drinker?
I'm in college. I go out. I drink.
Okay. Do you drink as an excuse to experiment sexually,
or get slutty without having to take responsibility?
Objection. Withdrawn.
Nothing further.
(SCOFFS)
Josh Galloway here, live vlogging my persecution.
Today, Carly, oh, I mean my anonymous accuser,
swore under oath that she came to my hotel suite,
raided my mini-bar, but did not want to make it with my joy stick.
(GASPS) I just sure wish
the jury got to see her a few hours earlier.
(AUDIENCE LAUGHING)
We can take back the night in my bed, Josh.
JOSH: What's your name, sweetheart?
Carly.
JOSH: Carly. Do you spell it the slutty way,
with an "l"?
No, with a "Y," but I can still do slutty.
Whoo! (AUDIENCE CHEERING)
(CARLY LAUGHS)
Whoo! (LAUGHS)
Tsk-tsk-tsk. You know what else ends with a "Y"?
Perjury.
A- ha!
How did you find this?
Uh, Google alerts. Josh Galloway.
Please tell me you just set that up.
No way the judge is going to rule this admissible.
It's too late. It's already out.
(MOCKING LAUGH)
(SINGSONG) Perjury.
(MOCKING LAUGHTER)
Whoo! (LAUGHS) (AUDIENCE CHEERING)
Whoo! (CLICKS)
I'm so embarrassed.
RAFAEL: For what you said, or for not telling us about it?
Where the hell did he get that video?
I thought you vetted the club goers. We did.
Someone must have taken the video
and sent it to Josh. I'm sorry.
You should be.
I swear I do not even remember saying that.
It's okay, Carly.
The jury will remember it.
When they acquit Josh.
This video came as a complete
surprise to me, Your Honor.
Really? Better timing than your client.
It does speak to the victim's consent.
I move to have it admitted as evidence.
Of course you do. But it's moot.
(INHALES SHARPLY) The jury's already seen it.
Only two admitted they had.
I'll replace those jurors with two alternates
who swear they haven't seen it.
Great, so, the panel now consists only ofjurors
who are willing to lie under oath.
Excuse me, Mr. Barba? I'm requesting a mistrial.
This video presents a fundamental error
prejudicial to the victim which cannot be cured
by instructions to the jury.
Mr. Barba, I'm denying your request for a mistrial.
I think you have bigger problems than this video.
BENSON: You requested a mistrial?
Don't worry, it was denied.
Look. We knew this was going to be an uphill battle.
At least the video's excluded.
You want to redeem the case? Good luck.
Calhoun just told me she's calling you to the stand.
COUNSELOR CALHOUN: Sergeant Benson, to sum up.
On the night in question, Carly herself
admitted she was drunk, isn't that right? BENSON: Yes.
In your experience, does intoxication affect
a witness' reliability or memory?
BENSON: It can.
It's not uncommon for a rape victim to have been drinking.
Uh, that doesn't mean that they weren't raped.
But you do agree that being drunk increases
a woman's chances of being involved
in a sexual encounter she may regret?
Statistically, yes.
COUNSELOR CALHOUN: So, Carly's being intoxicated
may have been a contributing factor in her accusation.
She remembers being raped.
But we both know there were other details,
like her behavior at the club,
that she doesn't remember. Objection.
She did admit she passed out in the hotel room,
that there were hours-long gaps in her memory.
Yes.
COUNSELOR CALHOUN: So, it's possible she consented to sex with Josh
and doesn't remember.
I think Carly would remember. You think?
So, there is room for doubt.
Nothing further.
I walked right into it. I'm so sorry.
It's just... (SIGHS)
My first time on the stand since Lewis.
I know. It doesn't matter.
We both knew where this was headed.
We had to bring this case.
It was the right thing to do. You know, for Carly,
for the other victims.
This was not great for Carly or for the other victims.
Are you sure this was not about your ego?
What?
Excuse me. We need the room.
What did you just say?
(SIGHS) You just took over the squad.
You wanted to take a big name down.
Show everyone there's no special treatment
under Sergeant Benson's watch.
You know that that's not me.
You have had a really tough year.
You're going through a lot.
So, which is it?
I'm driven by my ego or my judgment is impaired?
Actually, my judgment is impaired.
I never should have let you convince me to take this case.
We both decided that it was the right thing to do.
This was before I had all the facts.
If your detectives had done their due diligence
and found that video, I never would have brought this case to trial.
We're taking a hit.
But blaming me?
I thought we had each other's backs.
So did I.
No, I'm not a rapist.
We drank a lot.
We fooled around. Okay, we had sex.
I'm sorry if it wasn't romantic,
but she stayed the night.
I even gave her a nice little gift bag,
which she took. And the next night,
she comes back to see my show again.
And she heard me say some jokes
about how sloppy she and we were.
And the next thing I know, cops are at my door.
I guess I should have sent her flowers, right? (CHUCKLES)
(JURY CHUCKLES)
Thank you, Mr. Galloway.
How you doing?
Good.
Just to be clear, this was a one-night stand.
And then, Carly got her feelings hurt,
so she accused you of rape?
Hey, you're going to have to ask her why she did it.
All I know, is that night, she came after me.
And she came after me hard.
Hard? Has that ever happened to you before?
Come on. I'm a celebrity.
Some women find that attractive.
Maybe most do. Plus,
I'm very funny.
(JURY CHUCKLES) RAFAEL: That is a real one-two punch.
And you're good-looking. JOSH: Aw, thanks, buddy.
You are not so bad yourself,
but I don't swing that way.
No?
So you only have anal sex with women?
Objection. Relevance?
JOSH: No, no, let him go. This whole thing
is just a joke, anyway.
This entire trial.
Sodomy.
Ooh.
Bad word.
Last time I checked, it's not illegal in the state of New York.
No. Not between two consenting adults.
She came to my hotel room.
She got into my bed.
Let's be real for just one second, okay?
It's pretty hard to hit a moving target.
RAFAEL: How about an unconscious one?
You heard the M.E.'s testimony.
Carly suffered bruising, swelling, tearing.
So did I.
Funny thing about sex is
you could be having so much fun
that you don't even notice
what's going on until the next day.
I bet you've been there,
bruised that. Am I right? (JURY CHUCKLES)
JUDGE: Order. (BANGS GAVEL)
You know what I'm talking about. I'm sorry. Order!
This is all just funny to you, isn't it?
Her pain.
Her screaming, "Stop."
Her sleeping on the bathroom floor.
I'm sorry, were you there?
I forgot we were having a ménage à trois.
Oh, my God. Even this trial is just material.
Look, I'm an artist.
Are you?
Yes. Life is my material.
Our screwed up culture,
racism, incest, rape.
If you don't joke about it, you cry.
That's my job as a social satirist, to go there.
To shock people.
To make them think about our hypocritical
Christian values that preach
more than any of us could possibly practice.
About our views on sexuality.
About our views on dominance.
That's my act.
So, forcing yourself on an incapacitated 21-year-old,
that's part of your act, too?
Giving you fodder for sexuality and dominance?
You heard him.
I seem to be on trial for my words
and my thoughts, not my deeds.
In my life,
in my own bedroom, yes,
I have certain proclivities,
as we all do.
But this isn't a trial about rape.
This is a trial about some little girl
who got in way over her head.
She came after me that night
like a heat-seeking missile.
She had this... This fantasy in her head
that she could become a part of my world.
But the next morning,
when the coach turned back into a pumpkin,
she cried.
And then, she cried rape.
Because these days, instead of getting over it, you sue.
And if any of you believe that
she is not going to file a civil suit,
I have a bridge I would like to sell you.
So she's after you for your money.
We're after you because we want you silenced,
because we object to your attacks on Christian morality.
And my success.
And that's why I'm a moving target.
But I am not guilty.
I'm sorry
if her feelings got hurt.
I didn't rape that girl.
RAFAEL: Nothing further.
The jury had to see him for who he is.
I don't know, Renee. They also saw that video.
I know. Carly's such a waste-case.
Look at me. I was a victim, and now, here I am, victim-blaming.
I think we both know
that Carly didn't want this.
What about the other girls who said that Josh raped them?
Why aren't they testifying?
Because the judge won't allow it.
Because there was no outcry at the time, no corroboration.
And on top of all of that,
it's out of our jurisdiction.
So, you need a new victim here, now.
I bet if you set him up,
he would bite.
NYPD can't even approach him during this trial
without his lawyer present.
We've got to let it go.
What if it's not NYPD?
Renee, listen to me.
Whatever you're thinking...
Absolutely not. Okay?
He is a dangerous man.
A dangerous man that, that gets to go free?
We brought him to trial.
So maybe he'll think twice about the next girl.
But you need to let this go.
(CLUB MUSIC PLAYING)
Hi. (CHUCKLES) Is this seat taken?
It is now.
Hey, do I know you?
(CHUCKLES) Um...
We met a few years ago.
Oh, yeah. I remember you.
(CHUCKLES)
What are you drinking?
There we go. Some of this.
Oh, you know. (CHUCKLES)
This gag always works so much better in the movies.
(STUTTERS) Yeah, I guess I'm just nervous.
Oh, no, don't be nervous.
That's what the champagne is for.
You know what else works better in the movies?
When the glasses come off.
(CHUCKLES)
JOSH: Yeah.
And the hair comes down? Oh, sure.
Oh, you're so pretty.
(KISSES)
Crap. What?
That's the third text from my boyfriend. He, uh...
Your boyfriend? Tracked my phone.
(SIGHS) God, I'm really. I'm sorry.
I have to go.
No. What are you talking about?
Yeah, I'm sorry. Once we pop, the fun don't stop.
No, I'm sorry. I really... I have to go.
What are you talking about? No, no, no, no.
No, you're not going anywhere. You can't leave me hanging.
Come on. Stick around.
I said no. I have to go.
What do you mean, no? What are you talking about?
I said no. You're here in my hotel.
I said no. Come on. Come on.
Stop. You like it rough?
I said no. Stop. I'll give it to you. You like it rough?
Stop! Stop! You like it rough?
There you go. Oh, yeah.
Oh. Oh, yeah. Oh, oh. (SHRIEKS)
JOSH: You may say no now... (WHIMPERS)
but tomorrow... Stop!
you'll say, "This was the best sex I ever had!" (SLAPS)
RENEE: Stop! Stop?
(CRYING) Don't stop.
Stop! Don't stop. Which one? Don't or stop?
Don't stop. I won't stop. I won't stop.
(GRUNTS) (GROANS)
Hey, hey, hey, hey. Hey.
Ah. Hey. Uh-oh.
Now, you're ready to party. (LAUGHS)
(GRUNTS) Ow! Ah, God!
Ah! God!
Come on. Hey. Where are you going?
Bitch!
(SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY)
You may say no, but tomorrow,
it will be the best sex you've ever had. (SOBBING)
There was a camera in her eyeglasses.
(EXHALES)
NYPD give her that?
She bought them herself.
At Best Buy.
I'm sure she did.
This won't be admissible, regardless.
My client was set up while still on trial.
This is NYPD entrapment.
Renee did this on her own.
Neither NYPD nor I had any knowledge.
And I'm not looking to use it at this trial.
I'll be bringing a new case, with separate but equal charges.
Attempted rape, sexual assault.
Whoa, whoa. What is this?
First, it was a vendetta, and now it's a shakedown.
Josh. Stop.
Rita. COUNSELOR CALHOUN: Stop.
I'm sure Mr. Barba and I can work something out.
So, Josh agreed to a deal?
Does that mean he'll go to jail? FIN: No.
But he'll be a registered
sex offender for 10 years.
Wow.
So, does this mean I can sue him?
That's your call.
BENSON: She really is a piece of work.
Renee's video of Josh can never see the light of day.
This all remains confidential.
So, he is above the law.
Look, he pled guilty.
He's on the sex offenders list.
And he walks right back out on stage.
I don't know. Fatty Arbuckle was found innocent,
and he barely ever worked again.
The court of public opinion, once it turns on you.
So at the end of the day,
it was the right thing to do to bring this case?
Don't fish.
You snatched a tie out of the jaws of defeat.
You want to stay commanding officer,
I want you to stay commanding officer.
Don't bring me cases like this.
What's that about?
Ego.
You saved his ass.
Yeah. After I put it on the line.
Well, he's a big boy. He'll get over it.
So will Cassidy. What?
You took down his favorite comic.
Goodnight, Nick.
Night.
(CELL PHONE RINGING)
Sergeant Benson? Yes.
Detective Erin Lindsay, Chicago P.D.
Oh, right. Yeah.
Sergeant, uh, Voight called and said that you might stop by.
Uh, is there a case we can help you with?
I hope so. Um, a couple of days ago,
we had a female that was raped, beaten,
and murdered in our Riverwalk area.
Her ear was cut off?
The right ear. Yeah.
Yeah. I know the MO.
Two of my detectives caught that case about six months ago.
Rollins and Fin.
Uh, unfortunately, we didn't get very far.
I don't know how you guys do this.
We catch a case like this...
There's no evidence, no witnesses.
It makes me feel like a total rookie again.
Well, for what it's worth,
your sergeant said that you were one of the smartest cops
that he'd ever worked with.
I will get you those notes.
You'll catch this guy.
Thank you.
Voight really said that?
Good luck. Ripped By mstoll
