[Narrator]
Previously on 'Sex and Violence'

I love you.

[screaming]

You're going to be okay,
don't move, just don't move.

I'm a victim's advocate.

Did your husband
do this to you?

If your wife
contacts you--
You're giving
me your number?

She did go home.
The hatchet woman!

I said she talked
about going home.

I want to report a
homicide and come fast now!

[stuggling, fighting sounds]









This music sucks.

I'd offer to buy you a drink
but I've gotta work tonight.

Could I get
your number?

Can I call
you a taxi?

Do you have
friends here?

Don't be stupid,
let me call you a taxi.



[male voice]
Hey. Hey.

Yeah.

[attacking, struggling sounds]

[head slams hard, keys drop]



[door opening]

[panting breaths, grunting]

[panting breaths, grunting]

[Roach yelps]

[fighting sounds]

You gonna
fuckin' rape me?

Fuckin' cock sucker!

[struggling, fighting sounds]

Fucking bitch!
Shut your fuckin mouth.

Fuck.

[fighting sounds]

Stay the fuck down!

Oh, man.

[labored breathing, fighting]

Fucking stay down!

[labored breathing, fighting]

I think you
should stay down.

Fuckin' bitch.

What?
Fuckin like it.

Yeah.

[very labored breathing]

Ah fuck, oh shit,
where the fuck is my tooth?

[gasping deep breaths]

[water fills tub]

[water fills tub]

[painfully]
Ahhh.

Unh, oh, ah.

Unh, oh, ah.

Uunnhhh.

[whimpering]

[whimpering]

This is crazy.
You gotta go home.

I'm not going home.

This is gonna hurt
a lot more, later.

You should see
the other guy.

We got a domestic.

[gasping, struggling breaths]

[attack sounds and yelling]

You tryin to strangle
your wife? Is that it?

Is that it? Is
that it mother fucker?

Jesus!
I'm not fucking
with this asshole.

I thought he
made the call.
What?

The husband
called.
Did you call 9-1-1?
YES!

What the fuck were you
doing with the lamp cord?

Trying to keep
her away from me!

Oh Jesus.
Stop it. Hey!

Okay, this is fucking
ridiculous. I am out of here.

You broke
this guy's nose!
Sorry mister.

You were attacked?

What happened?

I brought him down to
booking and they told me

I had to come
here and see you.

No, I mean, tell
me about the attack.

You were raped?
No, it was
attempted.

That must have
been... terrifying.

I deal with rapists on
a pretty regular basis.

Um, so do I. Pretty sure this
would have still ruined my day.

Yah, well this is kinda,
because I could use some sleep.

Where is he
now? The rapist.

They were going to take
him down to the hospital.

Did you go to
the hospital?

Didn't they take
any evidence from you?

I wasn't raped.

I left my clothes I was
wearing at the precinct.

So, why did he
go to the hospital?

Because I beat
the fuck out of him.

I don't know I broke
his nose or something.

There was a
lot of blood.

You apprehended
him by yourself?
Yeah.

You were alone?
I was off duty.

So then you went
right back to work?
It was my shift.

Are you going to
let yourself feel this?

Probably not.

You know what I-I feel it
here on the back on my head,

where my
head hit the car

and right here where I
am missing a fucking tooth.

I feel that when
food gets caught in it

and um, where, where he
punched me, I feel that. Yeah.

I want to see you
back here in three days.

Oh God, come
on. I'm a cop.

I've been in fist fights
before, scuffles whatever.

Yes, but this, is
an attempted rape.

I been attempted-- you
know, whatever, you say it.

Attempted killed
before, ok, when--

Nobody makes me come
and talk to the therapist

when somebody tries to run me
down with their car or knife me.

Yes they do.
No, if they
succeed I do!

If they actually run
me over or knife me.

If this had happened to my
partner, he wouldn't be here.

Would it have
happened to your partner?

Well, they'd have an
easier time raping him.

Okay, see you
in three days

and if you need to call in sick
before then, I will back you up.

I won't, it's not
serious. Thank you.

My mother was a
cherished mother and sister.

Was known to be
gentle, neighborly.

Those of us
who knew... Carol,

it's better if we
remember some happier memory.

Like her deep laugh,
her willingness to listen.

Not the pain of her final
days or the way she died.

What a crock.

What, did you come to
this funeral just to heckle?

Those are
her children.

Leave them alone.

No, I really have to
get in touch with them.

For what?

To help them,
with the courts.

You want them to
testify against their father.

They're victims too.

Leave those kids
alone, you psychotic cow.

I'll just give
them my number.

It's inappropriate--

I was your mother's
social service advocate.

I knew her
for a few days,

she talked a lot
about you and your sister.

I hadn't seen
her in a year.

I know.

I shouldn't have
left here there.

Tim Junior, right?

Timmy.

Timmy, you were
never in a position

to alter her
circumstances.

You saved yourself.
You helped your sister.

You have nothing
to be sorry about.

I want you to
contact me soon.

I'm sorry for your loss.
I-I really liked your mother.

Manipulative bitch.

What do you mean
'he's not here'. Get him.

That would go
against doctors orders

seeing how he's got six broken
ribs, a femur and a cheekbone.

What happened?

Oh, he was
assaulted by the police.
Object.

He was attacked, your
Honor, by the accuser.
Object.

What are you saying? That
Constable Roach broke 8 bones?

Oh nine. Well, the femur twice.
Also a concussion, they suspect.

Miss Roach wasn't
on duty your honor

and the defendant
was raping her.
Objection.

Trying to rape her.

That is the
charge Mr. Deane.

An unwelcome
advance you honor.

The defendant had no way of
knowing that constable Roach

would not be open to sexual
concourse, uh, with a man.

[Judge]
Really.
Irrelevant.

It must have
been very dark.

He was drunk.
Irrelevant.

Well certainly
not a defense.

Mr. Whynacht, I see Constable
Roach in the oourt room.

I don't see any
visible injuries.

How does the victim have no sign
of injury and yet the attacker

has 8 broken bones and
can't leave the hospital?

[Mr. Whynacht]
You're not going
to play into this?

Well, Roach is a police
officer and she is trained

and is capable of
subduing an aggressor.

Is there any physical
evidence of the assault

on Constable Roach? It doesn't
appear from the case file,

that she even
went to the hospital.

There's the testimony
of a police officer.

I'm aware that the
victim is a police officer.

I'm also aware of
her imperfect record.

I'm asking if the
crown has evidence

to counter the eight, nine
broken bones of the defense?

The testimony.

Well, I don't think we
can hear a plea in absentia

under the circumstances

we'll have to set a
new arraignment date.

In the meantime get
your stories straight.

[therapist]
What was she
demanding from you?

An apology.
For what?

The way I talked
about her to other people.

And how do you talk
about her to other people?

You need to talk. I
vent like everybody else.

She does it, I don't
ask her to apologize.

Did you apologize?

Six times.
Why six times?

Because it
wasn't good enough.

She said the way I
apologized offended her.

I had to apologize
for the way I apologized.

[laughs]

That's funny?

I'm sorry, but it's
classic psychological abuse.

She really
had you going.

I'm happy I amuse you.

Well think about it.

Yeah, I guess she did.

She made you apologize for the
way you apologized, six times.

Then what?

She hit me over the
head with a frying pan.

Oh god.

She could've killed me.

She flattened your face.

No. She hit me in
the back of the head.

What did she
do to your face?

Nothing, a female
cop broke my nose.

[laughing]
Oh, you've got
to be kidding!

I'm not a cop. I don't
work for the prosecution.

I'm an independent person,
pursuing information he gave me.

Did you tell Mr. Fitzmorris
that you were his advocate?

Yes.What?

And you see no
infringements of his rights?

I don't give a shit about his
rights. I used to be a lawyer.

I'm not a lawyer now.
I'm not bound by privilege.

[Jasper]
And he mentioned that he
owned a convenience store

in an anger
management session?

Yes.
Jesus.

[Jasper]
I think they've
got a great case

to get discovery
of the body withheld.

If there's no body, does that
mean we pretend she isn't dead?

We have to argue that the
discovery was inevitable.

That's where your
testimony is key.

Oh, shit.
I told you.Shit.

What?
She lied.
You lied?

No, no. They were
looking for probable cause,

so I told them that Carol
probably went to the apartment.

You didn't
say probably.

But you got that from
your session with Brenda?

No. She didn't go to
Carol's therapy session.

Yes I did. I was there.
I left early, I had a call.

So how'd you overhear
that she intended to go home?

She told me.
I did not!

[Neville]
We've been
through this.

Alex embellished to
rouse police interest.

What's the difference?
He killed her. She's dead.

Alex, you think
you're bucking the system

but you just end up
fucking over your client.

You think the
police are so stupid

they weren't going
to question her husband

two days after he stabbed
her in the back with a hatchet?

The poor woman
was beaten to death

and now you want to
kick the shit out of me?

I do.

I'm not going up
the river with you.

If it came to light

where I heard Carol
Fitzmorris's call for help--

In my flat?

I'd have to recuse
and the whole case

would get thrown out
the window, honestly.

Well Jasper, as much
as I am tempted to boast

to all the girls in the
locker room that I laid you,

don't worry.

And the
other thing?
Hmmn?

The other thing.

The other thing?
Oh, the other man.

Don't worry about him. I
don't think we'll see him.

Not with that early
morning wake-up call.

I hope not, because I sat
in front of police officers

pretending to listen to
that call for the first time,

and if he were
to say otherwise--

Gregory.
Oh.

If Gregory were
to say otherwise,

I could
get disbarred.

Well I know what
that feels like.

You just don't
want anyone to know

she saw you making
out with another guy.

You shouldn't taunt Jasper.

You tell me that
you had a threesome

and I'm not
allowed to torment him?

You could have
got yourself killed.

When was the last time
Louella left the house?

She's agoraphobic.

You're enabling her. She's
got to get off that couch.

As sweetly as I can
say it Alex, piss off.

She's perfectly
happy the way she is.

Not every
housewife needs saving.

She's gonna drop dead of a
heart attack one of these days.

And your gonna
get the clap, slut.

Ah, sorry, sorry.

You can't stay in the
room with her too long.

We're trying to keep
things as sterile as possible.

If she's not ready I can come
back, I've got other clients.

Just don't shake her
hand. It hurts her to move.

Any tips on
talking about it?

I've been over things
with her. Just, she's pretty.

I think that's
what you have to see.

That's how people have seen
her and how she sees herself.

Don't just see her injuries.

Right.

Walter didn't like me going
out with my single friends.

He said we're married now
so we should do the things

that married people do.

And my friends should be
the wives of his friends.

And what about the friends
you had before you were married?

He didn't like me
going out with them to bars

where they would
pick up men like sluts.

And where
did he meet you?

In a bar.

So, what did you do?

I stopped going
out with them.

And when did he
break your arm?

The renovations. I didn't
want him to take the window out

so close to the holidays.
His parents were coming

and I didn't want the
plastic over the window.

My mother-in-law
is very particular.

And that's why
he broke your arm?

Because of the window

and because I should
not tell him what to do.

He broke your arm
to control you, hmm?

Because you had your own
thoughts, you spoke your mind.

Isn't that
closer to the truth?

He isolated you
from your friends

and family
to control you.

But now hmm, now you're
gonna make your own choices.

No, I can't have him here.

He's not a threat.

Look, I empathize Brenda,
but the women and kids here

aren't ready to
cohabitate with a man yet.

They'll either fuck him or
be threatened by him or both.

It's just not
what they need, okay.

I can't send
this guy home.

Well, he can't stay here.

Could you show him
to a homeless shelter?

You've been served
by Tim Fitzmorris

to testify against Alex.

Thanks dickheads!

[Marjorie]
Excuse me. Don't
you call me a dickhead.

[TV plays in background]

[TV plays in background]

[murmurs, kissing and moaning]

[murmurs, kissing and moaning]

[murmurs, kissing and moaning]

[panting breaths]

Ah God, oh, ah.

Oh my God.

[gasping breaths]

[gasping breaths]

Oh God.

[heavy panting breaths]

Oh Jesus.

[orgasmic panting and moaning]

[orgasmic panting and moaning]

Well, that was
almost two minutes.

That's all it takes, Mommy.

I don't belong here.

I know. I'm sorry we
don't have anything else.

It's temporary and we can get
you moved on a priority basis.

When?

I don't know but I'll
file paperwork tomorrow.

Look, it's temporary. I'm not
gonna leave you here I promise.

You missed last call.Yep.

Roach, I heard you
kicked a rapist's ass.

Jerry, listen, we should tell
people not to leave here alone.

Nobody's leaving here
alone, on purpose, Roach.

No shit, asshole.

Love you.

What's this?

Fizzy water.

Thanks, big spender.

You want something else?

No, this is good.

You're welcome.

Did you put a
ruffie in it?
No.

Darn.

What? You're
not gonna drink it?

I don't know you.

Pretty smart.

Yeah, I'm a
rocket scientist.

What do you do?

I'm a cop.

Are you that one
everyone is talking about?

I don't know.
You got raped?

You up for
police brutality?

No.

It must be
someone else.

How about you?

You really a
rocket scientist?

No, but I could
be if I wanted.

You really a cop?

Maybe.

Do you want me to be?

Um hum.





You wanna get outta here?





I want to see you.

Can we just
leave the lights off?









Uha.









Oh, oh, not easy, can
you... gently do that?

Ah, thank you.





You're so
beautiful, so beautiful.









[orgasmic panting, moaning]



Um, yeah.

Ahh.

Should I stay?

I, I got a really
big day tomorrow.

What do you
do for real?

I gotta
appear in court

against the prick
that tried to rape me.

That was you.

Yeah, it was me.

Fuck.
No.

Is he in jail?

He'll probably
get arraigned today.

I'm sorry.

Thanks.

I should leave
you to your rest.

Thanks, um,
thanks for fucking me.

Any time.

I was kinda nervous being
the first time after that.

The thing you know.

I could have
been more gentle.

I liked it.

You want to do me a
favor? Take a cab home.

Okay.

There's money in my
cookie jar on my counter.

Yeah, you gonna pay me?

Well for your
cab ride. Do it.

I will, I promise.

I think I
should see someone.

Who?

Fertility someone?

Okay.

I waited too long.

No.

It took me too
long to find you.

No. It's gonna happen.

We could adopt.

I'll get you in to
see someone right away.

Come on, we
barely tried.

Just gonna have
to fuck a lot, okay?

Okay.

Okay.
Okay.

What, like
right now? Really?

Not guilty
your honor.
Plea is entered.

We request that
he be released to
his own recognizance.
Come on.

My client is
not a flight risk.

He has a wife, 4 kids
right here in the city.

Yes, but these are
serious allegations.

This is a case of an
unwelcome flirtation.

The complainant
over reacted.

Where have I
heard that one before?

You Honor, the defendant just
spent 72 hours in a hospital.

If he was going
anywhere he'd be gone.

That's a fair point.
Alright, bail is set at $1000.

We'd like a swift
preliminary hearing your Honor.

What's the rush?
My client deserves to
have his name cleared?

Yes, he has the right to
a hearing within ten days

and he doesn't have
to waive that right.

Hey Roach, I hear you
finally got a boyfriend

and you really
did snap him in two.

You're a fuckin riot Duffis.

Well, now you're dating guys,
MacIntyre here have a shot?

Don't be such
a bitch Duffis.

What, I'm just razzin'
her the way she would me

if I put a perp
in the hospital.

Yeah, they're really
lining up to rape you.

[laughs heartily]

What, am I being
insensitive here?

Don't worry about it
Duffis, you're right.

I would snap
you in half.

[Duffis]
There you go,
see? One of the guys.

[whispered]
What the fuck
are you doing?

What's up
Downey? You coming?

Right behind you.

[Roach laughs]
You're serious?

[Downey]
True story. First
date Vinnie's Pasta Bar.

She says her contact
lens is bothering her.

Something wrong with it.

So she goes to the bathroom and
I'm sitting there eating bread.

It's fuckin' amazing
French bread there by the way.

And she comes back and she
sits at the next table over

and starts talking to the
guy sitting at that table.

And I look at the
guy and he looks at me.

He's eating bread too
and just kind of shrugs.

[Roach laughs]
She never
catches on.

She finishes the
date with that guy.

Ah, shame you
are that forgettable.

Exactly.

I want to stop
over here do you mind?

No. We're off for an hour.

Just take a minute.

[Roach]
Just be a minute.

Hi there, are you
the one who called?

Hey, what's
your name?
Elizabeth.

Elizabeth, all right,
so what's going on?

There was this
girl, she passed out.

She was drunk and
there, there were these boys.

Okay, all right, so
Elizabeth where's she now?

Someone's parents took her.

Okay, it's kinda cold
so you put this on okay?

There you go.
[Elizabeth cries]

Oh, oh, oh, it's
okay, it's alright.

Hey, it's okay. You
did the right thing.

It's okay. It's
all gonna be okay.

[fighting noises]

[fighting noises]

Do you mind if we do an errand,
I didn't have time to do today?

Sure.

How did it go
this afternoon?

He plead
not guilty.
Kinda have to.

No, he
doesn't have to.
They tell
them to.

Well he listened and he
asked for a speedy pretrial.

What the
prosecutor say?
I didn't
talk to him.

Get a new one.

They're all the same. There's
no case, there's no evidence.

You'll tell
them what happened.

Classic.
You're a cop.

That'll still get you a large
double-double in Spryfield.

Come on.

He says, he made an
advance and I over reacted.

What, like you had a
moment of heterosexual panic?

Ha, I guess.

Hi, can I help you?

You ah, you need to know that,
that your husband is a rapist.

Are you
the one?
Yeah, I'm
the one.

Then you know you shouldn't
be here. Get off my property.

He's um, pretty comfortable
hanging around parting lots

jumping out, choke holds.
He's had a lot of practice.

Who the hell
would rape you?
Your husband.

Figure out where
he goes at night.

Check his alibi's.

Where does he actually
tell you he goes at night?

[Downey]
What are you doing?

Where does he tell
you he goes at night?

Who with and check,
because he's fuckin lying?

[Downey]
Let's go.

This was not his
first time. You know.

[Downey]
Let's go.
You know!

Are you out of
your mind Maria?

She should know.

It was on the
news, she knows.

Why don't you
let me drive?
Never.

Look her husband's not
who she thinks he is, okay?

She knows now. She's
gotta put the pieces together.

You know he's got a hobby or-or
something he lies to her about.

Now maybe she'll
connect the dots.
This is a lot
of speculation.

The guy had me in a choke
hold, had the car door open

in three seconds,
he's done this a lot.

You're gonna
fuck up your case.
What case?

Why do you think the
Judge won't believe you?

It doesn't matter if
he does. It's my word.

That's enough.
You're a cop.
That's never
enough, Opey.

Brenda, is everything all
right? Is Alex in trouble?

They didn't suspend her.

Good.

I'm not sure
if it's good.











I was hoping
you'd be here.

It's the only
bar in town.

All right, well um,
I hope today went well.

[Narrator]
Next time on 'Sex and Violence'

Help!

Do you have
family here?
Hisfamily.

I thought you got fired?
