Hi, you've reached Eddie Schneider,

I can not talk now ...

please leave a message

and return as soon as possible.

Have a nice day.

Eddie, I am.

You can call me when you receive

this post? Thank you.

POLICE DEPARTMEN NEW YORK

Eddie, the Detective Helen Drake

is here to talk to you.

Hello, Mr. Schneider.

Detective Drake.

I came to collect belongings Angelina Sable

for possible evidence.

Can you show me

the workplace it?

Of course. Come with me.

Angelina told me about you.

You did the right thing.

Well, I thought I could help her

leading her to a doctor.

Eddie, his testimony will be important

for the case of Angelina.

Testimony?

Yes I ask you

to remember everything ...

because every detail counts.

EVIDENCE:

Is there a problem?

Yes, I am the Drake Detective.

And you are?

My name is Russell Birk.

I'm the owner of this agency

and this is my son Anthony.

It is a pleasure to meet you.

I must inform you that this is part

an investigation ...

against his son by Anthony Birk

Angelina Sable possible rape.

What?

You have a search warrant?

No, but I can get a

at a time ...

and meanwhile I will take the belongings

Angelina me.

Okay, okay ...

then ask nicely

to leave the office.

I'd love to.

- Bert in between.

- Russel.

Thanks for coming.

- Let me call Anthony, okay?

- Okay.

Bert ...

- Thank you for coming on Sunday.

- Do not say that, do not say that.

To her family working 24 hours.

You have proof, right?

- Well, it's complicated, but we ...

- Well, my son is innocent.

- I want to prove it.

- I understand.

Whatever the cost,

that jury must understand.

Anthony is the victim here ...

not that girl.

This is exactly how I see.

Great.

As a result of the "attack"

Angelina Sable spent two years ...

in a psychiatric clinic.

After he was released,

She lived with her mother.

Unable to live with his stepfather,

He left home at age 17.

What crazy.

Forget about it for a minute.

This could undermine her accusations

against Anthony.

Great.

On the other hand ...

Anthony was charged with molesting

a girl at age 17.

God! It was the same.

Someone wanting to extort

our money.

Anthony, shut up.

What?

- Please continue.

- The lawyer will know it ...

they do their homework.

No doubt.

And as we will be?

Present a defense

so overwhelming ...

and strong ...

that even a jury

by friends and family with Angelina ...

find that Anthony

is not guilty.

Do it.

I need help from Eddie.

About you and Bert

were talking about?

About that thing

Anthony.

That thing?

I mean rape?

No, it was not rape.

It was ...

How do you know?

I do not know, but I think ...

innocent until proven

otherwise, right?

What they wanted from you?

- They want me to testify.

- Witness? What?

You was not even there!

They want me to testify on

the type of employee that she was ...

this kind of thing, you know.

So Bert was there

on Sunday?

It is.

I do not believe.

Please

there is nothing you can do.

I think I'll run

later.

Has been running a lot lately.

Eddie!

Eddie.

One second, please.

Detective,

I told you this before.

I wish I could help

but I can not.

Eddie ...

Russell Birk hired

Bert Zikinsky.

He is the worst bastard

What's out there.

He does anything

to acquit their clients.

I need your help.

All I know

is that I left the office ...

and was not there when there is

what has happened, happened.

- What do you think happened?

- What I think has to do with it?

This is a police investigation,

Eddie. Okay?

We did some research

about you.

You do not get as much money to stay

a partner agency of this pattern.

So I think you're

with hands in pockets Birk.

That's funny?

Let me tell you something!

I owe nothing to anyone!

All the major accounts

that the agency has ...

are mine!

I won the!

Not a month goes by without me

receive proposals from competitors.

So do not think you know

or that I'm not in debt.

Okay, so Eddie,

Who will you choose?

A friend or a rapist?

What are you doing?

I can not sleep.

Eddie, are four and a half

come to bed.

Please sit down.

The court is in session.

The defendant, Anthony Birk, is accused of

sexually violating Angelina Sable ...

and causing, intentionally, several

wounds in the body of Miss. Sable.

An act so heinous and violent

only a high penalty would be appropriate.

- I was bleeding ...

- The fact is that it never happened.

This is ridiculous,

there was no rape.

Mr. Schneider, can you describe

what happened the night in question?

Our team worked late

around 22h and we go all out.

Ms.. Sable

was part of that group?

Yes We took the same elevator,

others fell on the ground floor.

And Angelina and I went to the garage,

we took our cars and left.

In his testimony,

you said you drove yourself.

Yes, I went out driving first,

but her car was behind me.

You were asked

for three hours by police ...

and never mentioned having seen ...

Angelina Sable into the car ...

and exit.

I always said that we were together.

Your Honor, permission to treat

the witness as hostile.

Granted.

You have not seen Miss. From Sable.

The fact is you're lying ...

to protect his friend ...

and keep your job.

- Objection!

- Accepted.

Continue.

You saw Miss. Sable

the next morning ...

and she was clearly

upset and distressed.

Yes.

She was really in shock.

But she was

emotionally tormented ...

then, you thought something bad

must have happened to it?

Protest.

I agree.

What she said

What happened?

Well, she told me

Anthony had raped a Birk.

And you responded by taking it

immediately to the doctor?

Yes, I took Dr. Sage

a good friend of mine.

Because he thought the situation required

immediate medical attention.

Yes, she was crying

and asked me ...

then I took her. That's it.

That's all.

No further questions.

Opposition?

Mr. Schneider ...

is safe to say you

and Miss. Sable are friends?

Yes.

The condition of Miss. Sable

should have left him worried?

Yes, he left.

But you did not call the police.

First I wanted to hear

Anthony's side.

But if he had believed,

you would have called.

You had questions. Why?

Well, I know Anthony

well ...

and could not imagine doing it

something with it.

Any idea why

or as Miss. Sable ...

would make these false accusations?

Well, that afternoon,

we had lunch ...

and I informed

that the agency would dismiss it.

Why?

Russell and Anthony Birk ...

both felt that her work

was lacking.

- And you have the same opinion?

- Pardon?

You also find

she was incompetent.

No.

So why quit?

You're not the boss

the creative department?

Yes, I am

but Anthony and Russell ...

had already made the decision,

and there was nothing I could do.

Thank you, Mr. Schneider.

Miss. Mitchell?

I would like to call Miss. Sable

to speak of these new statements.

Miss. Sable, do you remember any

conversation with Mr. Schneider ...

on any discontent

Birk for his work on Advertising?
