No one knows where

or when she's coming back.

The Bahamas, probably, with Mrs. Ross

on the next plane to join her.

These guys play hardball, Tom.

[SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY]

Did Mr. Sanders ever touch you in a way

that makes you feel uncomfortable?

I don't think he's aware of it.

Just answer the question, please.

-Yes.

-How does he touch you?

He'll pat me on my behind or

rub my shoulders while I'm at my desk.

Rub your shoulders?

I don't think he means anything by it.

You don't like it.

I just feel it's inappropriate.

I'm not sure I see the relevance of this.

We're trying to establish

a pattern of behavior.

Sexual harassers generally

follow a pattern.

MURPHY:
I'll allow it.

HELLER:
Thank you.

You don't have any

chiropractic problems?

Any neck problems, or your back?

No.

So you would characterize

this behavior as flirting...

...or sexual?

-I suppose so.

-But you never said anything.

-He's my boss.

-You didn't report it?

No.

He's your boss. I understand.

Your job is at stake. Rumors.

Whether people would even believe you.

And if I asked you if you ever had any

sexual relations with Mr. Sanders...

...same answer?

-No, I didn't.

-Didn't report it?

-It never happened.

-I understand.

I have no further questions.

SUSAN:

Barbara called...

-...about the Disneyland tickets for...?

-Jafar.

He's got the tickets,

and an upgrade at the hotel.

Thank you, I appreciate it.

They gave me your wallet photos.

-I'll see you later?

-Yeah, I'll see you later.

Bye.

You know, it's funny how you always

assumed it'd be you who got the job.

Lewyn assumed it would be him or you.

But nobody ever thought for a second

it might be me.

Isn't that funny?

That's not true.

You were always on the list.

Really?

Let me guess:
"Hunter,

not someone you'd follow into battle.

Too much of a team player.

No killer instinct.

Doesn't have those tools."

What is that all a code for?

What are you saying, Hunter?

You on Meredith's side?

I studied engineering for eight years.

I was the only woman in that department.

You know what I did?

I worked.

You think I'm on Meredith's side?

What do you wanna do?

Hmm, what?

Their offer ends midnight. It's what

Garvin told you. You get your job back.

She's your boss.

Everybody goes back to work.

Did you find "a friend"?

-Did we get the address from internet?

-Oh, yeah.

Dr. Arthur Friend, a chemistry professor

from the University of Washington...

...who's been in Nepal

the last three weeks.

You got messages from a locked office.

I'm glad we got that one solved.

Sh*t, I have to call Lewyn.

The drives we're having

problems with came in.

-Only you, Sanders.

-What?

Anybody else would be sabotaging

the company, not solving their problems.

ADELE [ON MACHINE]:

It's Adele and Mark.

We're not home, leave your name

and number, and we'll call you back.

What?

That's Mark's wife's voice on the machine,

but on Monday it was a man's voice.

Then the next day, Mark said

he never got the message.

I dialed the wrong number that night.

So?

That's why the battery was dead.

Tom, what are you talking about?

That's why Garvin wants to deal.

He's got my phone records.

I've got a 10-minute phone bill

the same time I'm in Meredith's office.

She yanked the phone away.

I called the wrong number...

...but I never hung up the phone.

The phone line is open.

Somebody out there's got this whole

thing on an answering machine.

It's Levin, not Lewyn.

-Hey, John!

LEVIN:
What's going on?

I've been getting phone calls.

Some creep has my Visa...

...then, at the office,

everything's turned upside down.

-My files--

-Have they got the tape?

What I'm saying is,

it's a good thing I brought it home.

-I listened to it with my girlfriend.

-Where's the tape?

It's all here?

I've been trying to get a hold of you

all week! What do I gotta do?

You know what this means?

Do you have any idea what this means?

Thanks, pal.

No deal. No, no deal, Catherine.

We're gonna bury them.

Everything is on tape.

Yes, everything.

MEREDITH [ON RECORDING]:

Put it in.

[GRUNTING]

TOM [ON RECORDING]:

God, look at us.

MEREDITH:

I want you inside me.

TOM:

I can't do this.

MEREDITH:
Put it in.

TOM:
I'm not gonna do this.

MEREDITH:
Now! Come on, now!

TOM:
No, no!

MEREDITH:
You cant just stop!

TOM:
No!

No! Goddamn it!

[CLATTERING]

[MEREDITH PANTING ON RECORDING]

MEREDITH:
You stick your dick in my mouth

then you get an attack of morality?

TOM:

This never happened. All right?

MEREDITH:

You never used to be this way.

We believe in any judicial proceeding,

this tape would be inadmissible.

Inadmissible? I'm worried I'm gonna drive

to work and hear it on Howard Stern.

Is she threatening to release this?

I don't know how many copies

of this tape there are.

I didn't put it out there.

I hate publicity.

Young lady, this tape demonstrates

consensual sex between two adults...

...however it may have

appeared the morning after.

Mr. Sanders' regret

is not my client's harassment.

Ms. Johnson,

is that your position today?

Yes, it is.

Ms. Alvarez?

Ms. Johnson, just so I'm clear

on what today's story is...

...would you define for me

"consensual sex"?

Sex where both parties

are willing participants.

How many times did we hear

Mr. Sanders say "no" on that tape?

I don't know, I was too busy listening

to my underwear being torn off.

Thirty-one. Thirty-one times.

Doesn't no mean no?

Sometimes "no" means that person

wants to be overwhelmed, dominated.

The way we're supposed to have sex

nowadays, we'd need the UN to supervise.

ALVAREZ:

No means no.

Isn't that what we tell women?

Do men deserve less?

When he really wanted to stop

he didn't seem to have problems doing it.

ALVAREZ:

That's when you got angry.

Of course I did. So would anyone.

Don't we tell women

they can stop at any point?

Haven't you ever said

no and meant yes?

Up until the moment

of actual penetration--

The point is, he was willing.

That tape doesn't change anything.

The point is, you controlled the meeting.

You set the time, you ordered the wine.

You locked the door.

You demanded service

and got angry when he didn't provide it.

So you decided to get even, to get

rid of him with this trumped-up charge.

Ms. Johnson, the only thing you have

proven is that a woman in power...

...can be every bit as abusive as a man.

You wanna put me on trial?

Let's be honest about what it's for.

I am sexually aggressive. I like it.

Tom knew it and you can't handle it.

It is the same thing since

the beginning of time.

Veil it, hide it, lock it up

and throw away the key.

We expect a woman to do a man's job,

make a man's money...

...then lie down for a man to f*** her

like it was still 100 years ago.

Well, no, thank you.

Well, you are not gonna believe this.

I think the Howard Stern thing got to them.

-What did Phil say?

ALVAREZ:
You get your job back.

You get 100 grand in pain and suffering,

and I get fees and expenses.
