The Accused Page #6

I don't wanna lie, Bob.

Do you wanna come visit me here

for the next five years?

- Hi.

- Hi.

- I hope you like it black.

- I do. Thanks.

I meant to tell you. This week,

Leos, they frighten away friends...

Not now, Sarah, please.

Sorry.

Excuse us, Miss Murphy.

Mr Joyce has something

to tell you and Miss Tobias.

He doesn't truly remember the events

of the night in question.

And he only told you what he told you

because you coerced him.

He says if you put him on the stand,

he will recant. He'll take it all back.

Did you have something to do

with this?

I suggest you notify the court and

the defence that he won't be testifying.

In fact, it might be less awkward

if you move for immediate dismissal.

Wait right here, one minute.

Why?

I don't remember.

I only told her what I told her

cos she forced me to.

And if she makes me take the stand,

I'm gonna recant it all, take it all back.

- Why?

- I told you. I don't remember anything.

You're full of sh*t.

Where do you get off tellin' me

I'm full of sh*t? I was there, remember?

Right. You were there

and you saw me have a few drinks.

You saw me blow some grass.

You saw me flirt a little bit.

And then you saw me gang-raped.

And you think that I had it comin'.

- You're just like all the others.

- My best friend is in prison.

If I do this,

they'll keep him for five years.

Your best friend is just some great guy

and I'm just this lowlife whore

that he raped right in front of you.

You're not like all the others.

You're worse.

That's not true. I'm not like that. OK?

Are you scared?

Yeah.

Me, too.

Your Honour,

The People call Kenneth Joyce.

Do you swear to tell the whole truth and

nothing but the truth, so help you God?

I do.

- State your name.

- Kenneth Joyce.

Be seated, please.

Mr Joyce, were you in The Mill the night

of the events involving Sarah Tobias?

Yes.

Would you please

recount for us what happened?

It was late, and me and my friend

Bob had been to the game.

Then afterwards he took me to this bar

he sometimes goes to, The Mill.

We had been there for a while when

this girl walked in. She was really sexy.

She was sitting at the table

behind us, talking to her friend.

This guy Danny was sitting at the end

of the bar, and he saw her come in too,

and he sent the bartender over

with some drinks.

So I'm washin' dishes and I hear Bonnie

screamin' her head off and go "Great."

So Chip walks out in cowboy boots and

goes "I didn't just kick her in the head."

- Hey, dude.

- What's goin' on?

- He's cute. Who's he?

- Bob something.

Some college guy.

I should take him home and f***

his brains out right in front of Larry.

Yeah, right.

Can I watch?

Behind you. Blonde girl.

Wants me in a big way.

Jesse, come here.

Here we go, ladies. Compliments

of the gentleman at the end of the bar.

What do you think he'll do?

- Evening, ladies.

- Danny, this is my friend Sarah.

- Thanks for the drinks, Danny.

- It was my pleasure, Sarah.

Were you talkin' shop?

No, we were talking modern romances.

Yeah? I'm a romantic.

That makes me just like you, Sarah.

And you are one romantic-lookin' girl.

Woman.

Danny. It's your turn.

- Romantic?

- She didn't come with me.

You don't have to take my word for it.

Walk in the back and see for yourself.

OK.

This is the game room.

Then she got up

and followed him into the game room.

Pretty soon they were playing pinball

with Bob and getting really loaded.

- I got 100.

- That's a double.

She's on a roll. Quick reflexes there.

- You better shut up.

- I don't wanna distract you.

Come on, light it up. Keep goin'.

Hurry up now. She can score.

- Yeah. Go.

- Oh, yeah.

- You lose.

- No, I'm the winner. I don't lose.

- Check the score.

- Look at that.

- There you go, pal.

- Lucky shot.

Lucky my ass. Lucky you wish.

Yeah?

Looks like her hand's

connected to her ass.

What's your problem?

Who is she?

Get her outta here. I hate her.

- You're up.

- Maybe next time, OK?

Knock it off.

- Go for it.

- I'm gonna.

You gonna keep that all to yourself?

Yeah.

- Didn't your mom teach you manners?

- No.

- Angela, go put some music on.

- I don't have any change.

Angie, I got some change.

- You're so funny, I can't stand it.

- I know. Everybody tells me that.

- So modest, too.

- I'm very modest. Let's get outta here.

- Look who's gettin' bossy.

- I'll even let you drive.

- Do you know how to drive?

- Do you know how to walk?

- Let's get outta here. Come on.

- No. I love this song.

- Are you off, honey?

- Yeah. I don't like the show.

Now I hope it's gonna be me.

- Young lady, have you been drinking?

- Who, me? No, officer.

That's it. I'm taking you in.

Listen. I gotta go

cos I've gotta work tomorrow.

- I'm a workin' thing. I gotta go.

- OK. What do they pay you?

I'm too drunk, man. I gotta go home.

Mr Funny Man, I gotta go.

Come on.

Yo, Dan.

Wait a minute, will you?

Come on, man.

- Go, Danny. Fourth-and-one. Stick 'em.

- Right.

- All right.

- No!

Yeah, yeah!

Man, he's gonna f*** her right there.

All right, Danny. Good man.

Grab her hands, Kurt.

- Go on.

- All right, Danny!

Come on, Dan. Go for it, Dan.

Come on, big guy.

Smell that new blood, baby.

That's it, Danny. Make her come.

Come on. She's lovin' it.

College boy, you're next.

Come on, Dan.

F***in' pump. Yeah.

That's it, man. Go.

All right!

Frat boy! Frat boy!

Get the frat boy in there.

Come on, move.

- Go get her, frat boy.

- Your turn.

No!

No!

Pump that college ass of yours, boy.

That's it. Pump that f***in' college ass.

- Come on. Go.

- Stick it to her.

Hold her down.

Is she ready to come? I can't see.

Hold her down.

Make her f***in' moan, man.

- Hold her down.

- Make her moan.

Kurt, watch the young kid.

You might learn somethin'.

Shut the f*** up, a**hole.

- Whoa, man. Listen to needle dick.

- Kurt, come on.

- Kurt, are you a f*ggot?

- You let him talk to you like that?

You pull down your pants,

we'll see silk panties?

Shut the f*** up.

Kurt! Kurt!

Yeah, you got the champion.

- Whoa, here comes Kurt.

- Come on. Go. F***in' get her.

Come on, Kurt. Gotta see his panties.

Come on, Kurt. Go ahead.

Come on. You're next, huh?

One, two, three, four,

poke that p*ssy till it's sore.

No!

Mr Joyce, do you believe

that Sarah Tobias instigated that rape?

No, I don't.

Thank you.

So?

So Ken helped. Larry - I don't know.

Jesse hurt.

What about Sally?

Bad, huh?

Sh*t.

You wanna go for a drink?

No. I have to put together

my summation.

What are our chances?

Fifty-fifty, at best.

Good night.

Good night.

Your Honour, my colleagues

have agreed to a single summation.

No objection, Your Honour.

Ladies and gentlemen, the state has

charged these three men with a crime.

The state has supported that charge

with the testimony of two witnesses.

Sarah Tobias,

who told you how three men raped her,

and how she heard other men shouting

encouragement to her attackers.

Did she name these other men?
