and where to get the dress,

even saying she'll pay me back.

Yeah, we're gonna need

to hang onto this.

Sure.

That's a lie.

That's a f***ing lie!

I never texted him.

He had my phone the entire time.

He must've used it.

Doesn't your phone

have an access code?

- Yes.

- So how did he get it?

I gave it to him.

Did he force you

to give him the code?

Yes!

What is it he did, Mimi?

I can't remember,

but I was scared.

He needed my phone to contact

my manager about my ransom.

Mimi, we've spoken

to your manager.

He says he doesn't know

anything about a ransom.

In fact, he got a text from you

a couple of days ago

saying that you wanted

a couple of days off.

Well, that must've been him,

frank sending those,

because I haven't seen my phone

since I was taken.

Frank gave it to us.

Said you left it at the house

before you ran off real mad.

And that night?

What happened?

While I was out, I picked up

a couple bottles of wine

and the dress.

My friend Paul

gave me a lift home.

Ordered Chinese food.

She even paid

the delivery boy at the door.

Delivery.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

So let me get this straight.

You had the opportunity

to leave,

and you didn't take it.

Can't you see what he's doing?

He's twisting everything.

Detective Hayes, you mind giving me

and miss Wyatt a moment, please?

Sure.

Miss Wyatt, you need to get

your story clear and fast,

because his is pretty sound.

So please, talk to me.

You went to the front door

unattended and didn't leave.

Why does that matter?

He kidnapped me.

He lied to me

so I wouldn't leave.

He used me for what he wanted.

He told me he had a daughter.

So you want me to arrest him for

telling you that he's a family man.

- But he lied!

- And you've always told the truth?

The whole truth at that?

She even told me

that entire story was a lie.

She never dated

or even slept with Branning.

She tries to ruin men's lives

because she's

a media-grubbing,

attention-seeking,

conniving little whore.

I mean, isn't this obvious?

He would have had sex

with me if I'd wanted to.

I was doing his wife a favor.

She should know what he's like.

I'm not proud of it,

but I'm telling you the truth.

Frank used me,

manipulated me, violated me.

Please, don't let him

get away with this.

You know, I gotta say,

you both play good games.

- He raped me.

- He raped you?

Yes.

My client has been

fully compliant

and has answered

all of your questions.

You have a drunk girl

with a history of lying

and ruining men's reputations.

Let's leave the trashy

magazine gossip outside

and just stick to the facts,

shall we, counselor?

I'm happy to discuss facts,

but let's not pretend.

This is a case where it is

accepted by both sides

that they had sex.

The only issue is whether

it was consensual,

and one of the parties

has a reputation

for sleeping around,

and more importantly lying.

But you're right. Let's

concentrate on the facts.

You have a complainant who admits

she was left alone in the house

while my client

went to buy her a dress.

She opened the door

to a Chinese delivery driver

and made no attempt to escape

or even pass on a message.

The complainant was seen

asleep on the sofa,

unbound and free to move around,

free to walk out of the building

if she wanted to do so.

Okay, but that doesn't

change the fact

that she's alleging

that he raped her.

The kidnapping story is a joke.

The false allegations of rape

are not remotely funny.

This proves

my client's innocence.

I don't see any reason why Mr.

Watson needs to stay any longer.

Medical results

came back inconclusive.

However, we did find

Mr. Watson's DNA.

So I want to know,

did you or did you not

tell him to stop

when he made advances on you?

I keep telling you.

Why aren't you listening to me?

I was scared for my life

and being held hostage.

I was desperate

to get out of there.

But I was tricked

into thinking that if I did,

a young girl would die.

Why are you questioning me?

Miss Wyatt,

we've seen the video.

The video? I don't know

what you're talking about.

If you have video,

we need to see it.

You've been waiting

all night for this.

So have you.

I didn't want to do this.

I have security cameras

in the house.

It's a rough neighborhood.

But as you can see,

she was clearly

enjoying herself.

And the tapes run throughout

the whole house?

Yeah. You can see us

playing cards,

having dinner together,

watching TV, dancing...

Me even sleeping

on the couch one night

when she wasn't up for it.

I just...

I don't understand

why she would do all of this.

Because of her ego, maybe.

Women like her

aren't used to rejection.

My client has been

very forthcoming

with providing evidence

and cooperating

with all your questioning.

The evidence you have

is overwhelming.

My client will not be answering

any further questions

and will not be providing

any further evidence

without a warrant.

If you wish to continue

this debacle,

we will be bringing

harassment claims against you.

I don't see any reason

why Mr. Watson

needs to stay any longer.

He can't just lie to me

so I fall for him,

and then just,

after we have sex...

Mimi, if that was the...

If that was a crime,

the majority of the population

would be in prison right now.

But he did kidnap me.

He can't get away with that.

- And he won't.

- Mimi, we have no evidence

of you ever leaving the club

against your own will.

And you don't even

remember anything.

And when you had the opportunity

to seek help, you chose not to.

I know, but I was scared.

Okay! You were scared.

I understand that.

Listen, we can pass

the file to the D.A.

If they think there's a case,

if you want.

Yeah. I don't want him

to get away with this.

Okay, miss Wyatt.

They've informed us that

frank will be pursuing you

for having him arrested,

for slander,

- and for assault.

- You're kidding.

No, I'm not kidding.

The video clearly

shows you slapping him.

What do I...

What do I do?

It's okay, Mimi.

We'll handle this.

Why would you lie, Mimi?

Have you no shame?

Are you going to

apologize, Mimi?

Were you drunk?

Do you remember anything?

Mimi! Mimi!

- Frank!

- Frank!

How was she in bed?

My client, frank Watson,

has been cooperating

with the authorities and all

charges have been dropped.

My client will be issuing a

civil case against miss Wyatt,

and in light

of those proceedings,

we can't say anything further

at this stage. Thank you.

Frank! Did you do it, frank?

Tell us something, frank.

Any piece of information

would help.

Frank!

Tell us something, frank!

I think you're very brave

for coming out

and speaking to us

about your story.

Well, I feel the people

need to hear it from me.

Your life must be

crazy at the moment.

It's absolutely insane.

I mean, you were just

thrown into the limelight.

That must've been quite a shock.

Well, yeah.

So why do you think Mimi

would drag you into all of this?
