Amanda Knox Page #3

[Brett] So, is Raffaele, like,

your, like, boyfriend?

[Amanda] Yeah.

[Brett] He's super hot?

[Amanda] I'll send you a picture.

[Brett] Do it now. Do it now.

Amanda, I miss you so much.

[Amanda] Yeah, I know...

I had a really bad day today.

F***, man.

Like, being in the police station,

I'm incredibly nervous,

and I always feel like

I'm about to burst into crying,

'cause I'm just, like, so upset,

but, um...

Like, I feel good now talking to you.

[Brett] Oh, honey...

Don't worry about it.

Remember, when that happens, go, "Wait.

I'm in Italy and I'm with Raffaele.

And I'm 20, and I'm gonna

look back on this year as, like,

the best year of my life."

[Giuliano in Italian]

The night of the 5th,

we had a breakthrough

in the investigation.

Sollecito is called

into the police station.

Amanda was not called in,

but she follows him anyway.

She was waiting

in the corridor of the police station,

and they were starting to be

very rude to me

and asking me questions about, um...

"What happened that night?"

That night,

I know that I was in my apartment.

I know that I spent the night with Amanda.

I know she slept with me.

But they were not satisfied.

And they were pushing, and aggressive,

and they became the worst of the worst.

This policeman told me

that Amanda lied all the time,

she was a stupid slut, a cow,

that didn't care about me.

"Your situation is very, very bad."

After a long time...

the reality around you

turns to twist and don't be so clear.

[Giuliano in Italian] Then Sollecito

changes his version of the events.

He turned his back on Amanda.

He says,

"So far I've told a bunch of lies,

because she told me to say them.

The truth is I was home that night.

Amanda wasn't with me

and didn't come back until 1:00 a.m."

Let's put ourselves in Amanda's shoes.

You go to the police station

with your boyfriend.

You are in a different room

and don't know what he's saying.

Then at a certain point

they come to tell you,

"Your boyfriend... he's turned on you."

[chiming]

[Amanda in English] They wanted to prove

that I had left.

And they wanted my cell phone.

And I was like,

"Yes, just look at my cell phone.

Like, I did not leave.

I didn't have to work that night.

I was supposed to work,

but I didn't go to work.

I didn't leave."

They fiddled through it

and pulled up this text message

that I had sent to Patrick, which said...

[speaking Italian]

Which, literally, word-for-word is,

"We will see each other later.

Have a good night."

I told them, like,

he sent me this text message saying,

"Don't come in to work."

And so I said, "Okay, see you later then.

Have a good night."

And they said,

"No, what this literally means

is you are going to see someone.

You made an appointment with someone,

and you don't remember.

Clearly, your mind is f***ed.

And you're going to be either on our side,

or you're gonna be on the murderer's side.

And what side are you on?"

I got so frazzled by it, I said,

"I don't know what the f*** is going on."

And another of the guys was like,

"'F***!' I understand 'f***.' F*** you!"

And he thought that I was yelling

"F*** you" at him.

And I was crying,

and, um, at a certain point,

a police officer slapped me

behind the head,

and was like, "Remember!"

And then he slapped me again

and said, "Remember,"

like, "Get your brain straight."

And I broke.

What started popping in my mind

was the street

in front of Raffaele's apartment...

my front door being open...

Patrick in his brown leather jacket...

and Meredith screaming.

And I thought that meant

that I was remembering

that he had killed her.

[siren blaring]

[Giuliano in Italian] I was shocked.

Because what she said made her

at least an accomplice to the murder.

And Sollecito, why did he lie?

And so I decided to have

all three of them arrested.

[camera shutters clicking rapidly]

[indistinct chatter]

[man in Italian] We feel very sad

for the girl that died,

yet there is also great satisfaction

for the Perugian police

for having found the answers

in such a short time.

The press put pressure on us,

and as a result we felt the responsibility

for a city that wanted

a definitive answer right away.

I can't thank everybody enough

in this entire investigation

for their professionalism

as well as their moral commitment.

[overlapping chatter]

[Nick in English] "Caso chiuso."

Case closed.

You'd have thought they'd busted

some sort of mafioso godfather,

the way they were reacting.

[sirens blaring]

The lawyers are the key ones.

I would get alongside one of the lawyers.

He would hand me over the statements.

I think the photocopying places in Perugia

must have made a fortune those days.

We had these details coming out.

The friends of Meredith were telling us

how Amanda had been behaving

in the waiting room.

One of the friends said to Amanda,

"Well, I hope

Meredith didn't suffer badly."

Amanda said,

"Of course she f***ing suffered,

she had her throat f***ing cut."

This police officer,

in this disclosure, said,

"Amanda and Raffaele

were kissing each other.

She was performing cartwheels

and doing stretching exercises."

"'Course she did it. She's mad.

She's a complete and utter loon.

I mean, who behaves like that?"

[Edda Mellas] No comment, please.

Are you still convinced

about Amanda's innocence?

No comment.

[Amanda] The guards came to my door

and said, "You have visitors."

They put me in this special little office.

And there was my mom.

And she was crying.

And she reached out for me and...

[Amanda] Mom!

[Amanda] It's okay.

[Edda] I know, it's scary. Are you okay?

[Amanda] Yeah, I'm okay.

[Edda] Okay.

[Amanda sobbing]

[Edda] Amanda, sit down.

Bring a chair over here.

[Amanda sighs] I knew that I had f***ed up,

and I felt like I had f***ed up,

and that I didn't know what to do.

I felt like a child again.

And I knew... I was a kid.

What was I pretending?

I needed my mom.

And...

[sighing heavily]

[Edda] You know,

the lawyers were saying...

no matter what,

if you had gone in and done the deed,

they just needed to know, for sure,

the truth.

- So that they could--

- [Amanda] Yeah, and I'm telling you--

[Edda] So you have no idea who murdered--

[Amanda] I have no clue. No clue.

Because I was with Raffaele

at his house.

The one thing that's really bugging me

is why Raffaele lied.

[Edda] Well, hopefully,

he's in the same position you are,

that he was being stressed.

[Amanda] Yeah, I feel like

they were smacking him around

or something like that.

[Edda] The lawyers said

something interesting.

They said, "Amanda's been caught up

in something that's way bigger than her."

Because this has turned into

this huge international bullshit story.

[Amanda] Are you serious?

[Edda] Oh, yeah.

Everybody in the family has been

assaulted by the media.

It's gone crazy.

[Nick] We already had good pictures

of Meredith.

She was a terribly attractive woman.
