Amanda Knox: Murder On Trial In Italy Page #5

THAT'S NOT TRUE!

JUST WHO ARE YOU TRYING

TO PROTECT, AMANDA?!

IS IT MR. LUMUMBA?

NO, I -- IT'S NOT TRUE!

AMANDA, AMANDA...

I KNOW YOU WANT TO

TELL US THE TRUTH.

[ EXHALES SHARPLY ]

Navarra:

I CAN SEE IT IN YOUR EYES.

I DON'T WANT YOU TO TAKE

THE FALL FOR SOMEONE ELSE.

[ CRYING ]

IT'S JUST THAT

THINGS FROM THAT NIGHT,

THE MEMORIES ARE HAZY.

YOUNG LADY!

I-I DON'T REMEMBER!

I DON'T --

IF YOU'RE LYING,

YOU COULD GET 30 YEARS IN JAIL

AND NEVER SEE:

YOUR FAMILY AGAIN.

FOR WHAT?! FOR WHAT?!

I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING!

I DIDN'T DO IT!

AMANDA? AMANDA?

IF YOU COOPERATE WITH US NOW,

IT WILL BE MUCH BETTER FOR YOU.

[ CRYING ]

I'M SCARED.

IT'S OKAY.

IT'S OKAY.

THE TRUTH WILL COME OUT,

YOU KNOW?

ONE WAY OR ANOTHER.

SOMETIMES,

THE MIND BLOCKS OUT TRAUMA.

USE YOUR IMAGINATION.

THINK ABOUT...

WHAT COULD'VE HAPPENED.

YOU CALLED PATRICK LUMUMBA.

YOU WERE GOING TO SEE HIM.

AND THEN?

[ SOBBING ]

I'M AF-- I'M AFRAID.

IT'S -- IT'S OKAY.

IT'S OKAY.

JUST TRY TO REMEMBER.

[ SIGHS ]

UH...

I DID MEET UP WITH PATRICK

THAT NIGHT.

AROUND 9:
00 P.M.,

WE WENT BACK TO MY HOUSE.

PATRICK AND MEREDITH

WENT IN MEREDITH'S ROOM

WHILE I STAYED:

IN THE KITCHEN.

I CAN'T REMEMBER HOW LONG

THEY WERE IN THERE. IT JUST --

[ SCUFFLING, MEREDITH SQUEALS ]

AT ONE POINT,

I HEARD MEREDITH SCREAMING.

[ MEREDITH SCREAMS ]

I WAS SO SCARED.

[ SCREAMS ]

[ SOBBING ]

[ Sobbing ]

AND I-I CAN'T REMEMBER

ANYTHING AFTER THAT.

IT'S -- MY HEAD --

IT'S ALL -- IT'S FUZZY.

I JUST -- I NEED SOME SLEEP.

PLEASE, CAN I GO HOME?

AMANDA,

I'M GLAD YOU REMEMBERED.

BUT THE LAW NOW REQUIRES ME

TO DO TWO THINGS.

YOU HAVE BECOME A SUSPECT

AS AN ACCOMPLICE TO MURDER,

AND YOU'LL HAVE TO TELL

THE PROSECUTOR WHAT

YOU JUST TOLD ME.

NO.

[ SOBBING ]

ARE YOU READY TO DO THAT?

[ SOBBING CONTINUES ]

TRACK DOWN LUMUMBA.

GET HIM IN HERE NOW.

YOU'RE LUCKY YOU'RE NOT

IN AMERICA, MR. LUMUMBA.

YOU'D BE ELECTROCUTED

FOR YOUR CRIME.

WHAT CRIME?!

I HAVE NO IDEA:

WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT!

YOU THINK I KILLED MEREDITH?

Mignini:
WE HAVE

A WRITTEN STATEMENT

FROM AMANDA KNOX.

IN IT, SHE ACCUSES YOU

OF RAPING AND MURDERING

MEREDITH KERCHER.

SHE'S LYING!

I HAVE SEVEN SISTERS, MAN.

THERE'S NO WAY

I COULD HURT A WOMAN!

SEVEN SISTERS.

DETECTIVE ALICASTRO,

THAT'S A COMPELLING DEFENSE.

I THINK WE'VE MADE

A HORRIBLE MISTAKE HERE.

THIS MAN:

HAS SEVEN SISTERS.

HE COULDN'T POSSIBLY HAVE RAPED

AND BRUTALLY SLAUGHTERED

AN INNOCENT, YOUNG WOMAN.

LISTEN TO ME!

I WAS AT MY BAR ALL NIGHT!

I BARELY KNEW MEREDITH,

AND I'VE CERTAINLY

NEVER BEEN TO HER FLAT!

REALLY?

IN HER STATEMENT,

SHE SAYS SHE WAS THERE

WITH YOU THAT NIGHT.

WHAT POSSIBLE REASON

COULD SHE HAVE:

TO IMPLICATE YOU AND HERSELF

AT THE SAME TIME?

[ TRAIN WHISTLE BLOWS ]

[ TRAIN BELL DINGING ]

[ CELLPHONE RINGING ]

THANK YOU.

UH, SORRY. JUST A MINUTE.

HI.

CHRIS, I'M FINALLY HERE.

THE POLICE JUST ARRESTED AMANDA

FOR MEREDITH'S MURDER.

WHAT?

Look,

it's gonna be okay, honey.

Just go to the mayor's office,

okay?

[ EXHALES SHARPLY ]

HOW CAN THEY:

POSSIBLY ARREST HER?

I KNOW YOU WANT ANSWERS,

BUT RIGHT NOW WE HAVE NONE.

WELL, MY EX-HUSBAND,

WHO'S AMANDA'S FATHER,

IS GOING TO BE HERE

ON FRIDAY,

AND HE IS CONTACTING

THE AMERICAN EMBASSY.

THE MAYOR HAS SPOKEN

TO A CRIMINAL ATTORNEY,

LORENZO GIORDANO.

HE'S VERY GOOD,

VERY EXPERIENCED,

AND HE KNOWS EVERYONE.

WELL, THERE'S A POSSIBILITY

THAT SHE WON'T

EVEN NEED A LAWYER.

RIGHT? I MEAN, ONCE THIS

WHOLE THING IS STRAIGHTENED OUT?

RIGHT?

I MEAN, AMANDA IS --

S-SHE'S ONLY 20 YEARS OLD.

SHE'S AN HONOR STUDENT.

[ Voice breaking ]

SHE'S --

SHE'S KIND,

AND SHE'S GENTLE.

AND THERE IS NO WAY

SHE COULD BE INVOLVED

IN SOMETHING LIKE THIS!

IT'S A HORRIBLE MISTAKE!

[ CELL DOOR UNLOCKS ]

CAN I CALL MY MOM?

PIU TARDI.

[ DOOR SLAMS, LOCKS ]

[ INDISTINCT SHOUTING,

CAMERA SHUTTERS CLICKING ]

[ CELL DOOR UNLOCKS ]

[ SOBBING ]

ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?

PREGO.

I'M JUST CONFUSED.

THIS IS LIKE A NIGHTMARE.

WHAT HAPPENED?

I DON'T KNOW.

ALL I KNOW IS:

THAT MEREDITH WAS MY FRIEND,

AND I DIDN'T KILL HER.

AMANDA, WE KNOW THAT.

BUT WHY DID THEY ARREST YOU?

BECAUSE RAFFAELE LIED.

HE SAID THAT I WASN'T WITH HIM

THE NIGHT OF THE MURDER,

AND I DON'T KNOW WHY.

HE'S ALWAYS BEEN

SO NICE TO ME.

MAYBE HE WANTED TO DISASSOCIATE

HIMSELF FROM ME.

HE WAS SCARED.

I DON'T --

Shh. HONEY, HONEY,

SLOW DOWN.

WHAT HAPPENED:

WITH THE POLICE?

[ SIGHS ]

THEY INTERROGATED ME

FOR 13 HOURS.

THEY THREATENED ME.

THEY CALLED ME A LIAR.

THEY HIT ME.

THEY HIT YOU?

YES, THEY SMACKED ME

ON THE BACK OF THE HEAD.

AND I WAS SO SCARED,

I FINALLY TOLD THEM THAT...

MAYBE I WAS:

AT THE HOUSE WITH PATRICK

THE NIGHT:

THAT MEREDITH WAS KILLED.

BUT IT WAS MORE LIKE A VISION.

IT WASN'T REALITY.

I JUST WANTED THEM

TO STOP QUESTIONING ME.

LOOK.

WE'RE MEETING WITH AN ATTORNEY.

HE'LL GET TO THE BOTTOM

OF THIS.

OKAY.

Guard:
PREGO.

[ CELL DOOR OPENS ]

[ Sobbing ] DON'T GO.

PLEASE DON'T LEAVE ME IN HERE.

I DON'T WANT TO BE HERE.

[ SOBBING CONTINUES ]

AMANDA.

NO.

COME ON.

COME HERE.

COME HERE.

[ SOBBING ]

MOMMY.

WE'RE GONNA GET YOU OUT.

I PROMISE.

I PROMISE, OKAY?

WE'LL GET YOU OUT.

WE'LL GET YOU OUT

OF HERE.

I PROMISE.

[ SPEAKING ITALIAN ]

NOT ONLY IS THERE NOT A SHRED

OF FORENSIC EVIDENCE

PLACING PATRICK LUMUMBA

AT THE CRIME SCENE,

BUT A WITNESS JUST STEPPED

FORWARD, CONFIRMING HIS ALIBI.

HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE?

BECAUSE AMANDA LIED.

HOW COULD SHE REMAIN SILEN

WHILE I PUT AN INNOCENT MAN

BEHIND BARS:

BASED ON HER STATEMENT?

SHE CO--

SHE THINKS:

WE'RE A BUNCH OF INEPT FOOLS!

SHE COULD BE:

PROTECTING SOMEBODY ELSE.

WE LIFTED A FINGERPRINT

IN MEREDITH'S BEDROOM

THAT DID NOT BELONG TO PATRICK

NOR AMANDA NOR RAFFAELE.

WHEN I RAN IT THROUGH

THE DATABASE,

I GOT A HIT:

TO RUDY GUEDE.

WHO THE HELL IS:

RUDY GUEDE?

HE IMMIGRATED HERE AS A CHILD

FROM THE IVORY COAST.

SINCE THEN, HE'S ONLY HAD

A FEW SKIRMISHES WITH THE LAW.

THE ONLY PROBLEM IS,

NOBODY KNOWS WHERE IS NOW.

WE'LL FIND HIM.

[ CELL DOOR UNLOCKS ]

BUON GIORNO, DOTTORE.

THEY SAID:

THAT YOU WANTED TO SEE ME?

IS EVERYTHING OKAY?

THE RESULTS:

OF YOUR BLOOD TESTS.

SIT DOWN.

I'M SORRY,

BUT THEY SHOW THE PRESENCE

OF THE H.I.V. VIRUS.

AIDS?

YOU CAN'T BE SERIOUS.

BEING H.I.V.-POSITIVE

DOESN'T NECESSARILY MEAN

YOU HAVE AIDS.

NO, NO, NO, NO. THAT'S NOT --

THAT'S NOT POSSIBLE.

HOW -- WHERE WOULD I

HAVE GOTTEN IT FROM?

NO,

I WANT TO GET MARRIED.

[ Voice breaking ]

I WANT TO HAVE CHILDREN.

I WANT TO GROW OLD.

I WILL TAKE ANOTHER SAMPLE

JUST TO MAKE SURE.

IN THE MEANTIME,

WE NEED A LIST OF ALL THE MEN

YOU HAD SEX WITH.

WHAT?

[ SIREN WAILING ]

HEY, HEY, HEY, HEY, HEY!

[ REPORTER SPEAKING ITALIAN ]

[ RUDY SINGING

IN AFRICAN DIALECT ]

Meredith:
YOU HAVING A PARTY

WITHOUT US?

[ CHUCKLES ]

WHAT'S GOING ON?

WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN HIDING

THESE TWO BELLA RAGAZZA?

WE LIVE UPSTAIRS.

I'M MEREDITH.

RUDY.

MEREDITH'S FRIEND

MEREDITH'S FRIEND
