...as you can see on the right

panel...It's not different.

Thank you for sharing that,

Noelle.

I can only imagine

how difficult.

What are you feeling right now?

I feel like he could

do it again.

When did this happen?

Last Friday.

Isn't there a test

or something I can do?

Like a rape kit?

Was he wearing a condom?

No.

Then, yes, I would say

getting tested for stis

is probably a good idea.

As far as the rape kit,

I'm assuming you've showered.

Okay.

Did anyone else

see this happen?

No.

I mean, people saw us

go to his room together,

but no one was in the room.

How much did you have

to drink, Noelle?

Um... a beer?

Did you ever say "no"?

-Yes.

-You just told me

you said, "wait,"

but did you ever use

the word "no"?

Yes.

Are you sure that you said

"no" and that he heard you?

Yo.

Come in.

Do you want a drink

or something, or...?

I'm smoking.

No.

Aw, god,

I'm so f***ing tired.

This house becomes,

like, a f***ing zoo

and, like, these people

were over till, like, 5:00 A.M.

Sometimes you're just like,

"i need my space."

Sure you don't want it?

What's up with you?

I want you to say

you're sorry.

Mm...For what?

For what happened

the other night in your room.

I want you to say

you're sorry.

You want me to apologize

for f***ing you?

That's not what happened.

And what do you think

happened in my room?

What are you -- why are you

looking at me like that?

What the f***'s wrong with you?

You raped me.

Excuse me?

Oh, that's f***ing rich.

Stop being

so f***ing sensitive.

You were into it.

You liked it.

That's not what happened.

Oh, come on.

Don't give me that sh*t.

Go f***ing read me

a jezebel article.

Ah. What the f***?

Don't f***ing do that.

All right, you know what?

If you're going to act this way,

just, like --

you can just leave, all right?

I'm sick of this.

You can let yourself out.

-I said you can

let yourself out.

-Luke.

-I want you to admit--

-get the f*** out.

F***ing crazy.

Stop acting crazy.

I'm not crazy!

It looks like

a skull fracture.

We got a picture knocked down

in the upstairs hallway.

We got a 911 call

from one of his roommate.

Said he came home this morning.

Probably out of his mind

on something.

We're, uh,

dusting for prints...

Hey.

Did you hear about Luke?

He fell off his balcony.

Hey, guys. Um...

I'm canceling class today.

The counseling center is across

the quad if you need to talk.

Of course, my door

is always open, so...

You guys take it easy.

Alright?

Noelle posero.

Detective Kennedy.

I'd like to ask you

a few questions, if I may.

Did you see Luke last night?

Yeah.

Do you remember what time?

Probably around 7:00 or 8:00.

And you went over there for--

for what?

To talk. He texted me.

He texted you because

he wanted to talk?

He probably wanted to hook up.

-How long did you stay?

-Not long.

-Why?

I wasn't in the mood

last night,

and he was pretty gone.

Mm. What was he on?

I'm not sure.

I'm not into

that sort of thing.

Was there anybody else at the

house when you two were there?

Not that I saw,

but I didn't stay long.

My card, in case anything else

comes up, give me a call.

Noelle, I'm sorry

about your friend Luke.

Thank you.

Come on, baby. Come on, baby.

Come on, baby.

This is what you wanted

when you came around.

F***.

That was seriously good.

I think she's thirsty,

I think she's thirsty.

It's water.

It's just water.

-Oh, it's just water.

-It's just water.

-It's just water.

-Just kidding.

Oh.

Let us take care of you.

No, nope, no. Wrong move.

There you go, there you go.

There you go.

Lay down, baby.

Just lay down. Lay down.

Excuse me.

Have some respect.

You're at our house,

you're in our bed.

F***ing lay down.

-How about that?

-Yeah.

Yeah, there it is.

Oh, she loves that.

Kappa phi! Kappa phi!

This is really nice.

Yeah, I kind of needed it.

-Lindsey?

-Yeah. Bye, guys.

Um, can I help you?

I'm Noelle. I'm an--

I'm an art student at bu.

I'm sorry to just

show up like this.

I just want to tell you

that your story

has really inspired me.

I'm sorry.

I've got to go.

I just need a couple minutes.

I'm working on my thesis.

It's about the brutality of--

good luck with your project,

but please just leave me alone.

-Wait.

-Look, you don't

know me, okay?

You don't know

anything about me.

I-i don't want to be the subject

of your project.

You're not the subject.

They are.

Your thesis

is about my rapists?

Not just yours.

Mine, too.

If I could go back,

i would have kept my mouth shut.

I could have done without people

calling me a liar.

Especially people I thought

were my friends.

Even girls?

Oh, yeah.

Girls hate sluts.

I didn't know that I was going

to be the one on trial.

"How many people

have you had sex with?

"Were you flirting?

Did you have an orgasm?"

-An orgasm?

-Oh, yeah,

it was really enjoyable.

Especially the part

where I woke up bleeding,

not knowing what happened,

staples on the back

of my head.

You did the right thing.

Did I?

They're fine.

They're more than fine.

They are throwing

a huge rager on Friday.

And I got the text.

It's funny.

I'm still on their contact list.

I'm sorry, Lindsey.

You know, I might not be

able to have babies?

I don't even know

if I wanted babies.

Have some respect.

Kappa phi!

I didn't even believe

that even happened.

Yeah.

I was there all night.

Oh, my gosh, really?

Yeah, I was with Conor

and his friends.

Hi, I'm Jenna.

I'm the president

of v-day balboa.

What's your name?

-Noelle.

-Come here.

So I spoke to mark

at the gazette,

and they're going to place

our rio article

in next week's issue.

What article?

Oh, there's a case

of a 16-year-old girl

in Rio de Janeiro.

She was drugged

and raped by 33 men,

and her video is posted

all on social media.

-That's so awful.

-So, we still need a name

for our fall awareness event.

They posted a video,

like the three football players

that raped a girl last year?

The fraternity brothers,

the ki phis.

Yeah. Lindsey Shaw.

They got off,

and she went off the deep end.

-Yeah.

-Do you know how

they got off?

I mean,

there's a video proof.

Yeah, but you couldn't

really see their faces.

They said she was a freak,

into gang bangs.

It became a classic

he said/she said situation.

Well, that's like Daisy,

remember freshman year?

Yeah, she got raped

by her ex-boyfriend.

He was on the basketball team.

Oh, yeah, I had classes

with him. And he beat her, too.

Like, bad. And you know

what the school did?

They put him on probation

for probably like a week.

I don't even think he missed

any of his games.

He graduates right on time.

Nothing happened.

It was just a little blip

in the time line.

-I can't believe that.

-That's sick.

Oh, heroes for rio.

That's perfect.

Hashtag - rioheroes,

like, "real heroes."

Okay guys, check it out.

So, you know that nail Polish,

it changes color

if there's a date rape

drug in it?
