The Girlfriend Experience (2016–…): Season 1, Episode 11 - Fabrication - full transcript

Previously on The
Girlfriend Experience...

Mom is really upset. We all are.

I can't talk right now.

What was that
video? Why did you send it?

I have to go.

[man having orgasm]

I think it's best if you leave.

Whatever you want.

So you're new at this?

Eight to nine months.

I'm looking to expand my client base.



How much am I paying
you? A thousand an hour?

Fifteen hundred.

Here's ten thousand.

- Colin.
- Nice to see you.

- You must be Amanda.
- Hi.

I'm so sorry. Um, would you
just excuse me for a second?

Hey Martin, I'm just in
the middle of something.

Can I call you back?

I need to speak to you now, if possible.

Somebody sent the tape toChicago Lister.

They just ran a story.

It turns you on, getting paid.

[passionate breathing]

Say it!



[sound of taxi driving]

[cell phone buzzing]

I'm glad I didn't scare you away.

Hmmm, not at all.

I was hoping to hear from you again.

- Where are you?
- Chicago.

Can you come see me this weekend?

I can't, I'm taking a break for a while.

But we can talk like this.

It's my fault.

You don't want to see me.

That's not true. I'm happy to see you.

There's nothing wrong with what we did.

Could I see your face?

I can't.

Is there something
else you'd like to see?

Yes.

[erotic breathing]

Excuse me.

Sorry, am I in your way?

No need to apologize.

- How's your day?
- How do you think?

Well, I can only
imagine, especially for interns.

What exactly can you imagine?

Just have a lot to take in.

I wanna make something very clear.

You're making me feel very,
very uncomfortable.

Yeah, uncomfortable how?

What-what are you talking about?

I think you know what I'm talking about.

Interns are just all stretched too thin?

- You're all overworked.
- I don't think that's what you meant.

- I dunno what you're talking about...
- Okay.

Let's all just take it down a notch.

Are you waiting for me to fuck you?

Yeah.

And if I don't?

Then I'll have to fire you.

David Tellis was your boss?

I was his intern.

I wanna sue for sexual harassment

and a hostile work environment.

Kirkland might argue
that you intentionally

brought this on yourself.

That you incited these
reactions and recorded them

to file a lawsuit, but,

given the balance of power between
you and David Tellis,

you have a strong case.

I have something else.

You like getting
paid for sex, don't you?

Yes!

It turns you on, getting paid.

So this could be
misconstrued as an act of prostitution.

How do we all wanna handle it?

Christine knowingly made the tape

with her boyfriend at the time.

They were role-playing.

And the fact that his
voice is distorted?

It was obviously put out to humiliate
and shame Christine.

She broke up with him a month prior.

So are we saying he released it?

At this point, it
doesn't matter who released it.

Kirkland mishandled it.

The goal is to force a settlement.

Okay, got it.

We should set a follow-up
with Chicago Lister

to get out Christine's
side of the story.

Do you feel
comfortable doing interviews?

Yeah, I have nothing to hide.

Good.

Make sure to stress your embarrassment.

It's important to get
people to sympathize with you.

I am extremely embarrassed.

As you can imagine, this has
been very humiliating for me.

It was a private
moment between two adults

that I didn't think would be seen.

Did you accept
money in exchange for sex?

I'm not answering that question.

Are you concerned that
your law career is over?

Yes. Of course.

I've worked really hard,

and spent a lot of
money to get to this point.

You could go into private practice.

- Is that a joke?
- No.

No, I'm being serious.

I'd like to remain
optimistic, but unfortunately as a woman,

it's difficult to be
seen as a sexual person

and a competent
professional at the same time.

Unless sex is your profession.

You did say you like
to get paid for sex.

I like sex.

I was role-playing. Is that a problem?

So you knew you were being recorded?

Yes.

Again, it was a private moment with
a person that I cared about.

The tape was for us, not for the public.

Why did your ex release it?

I don't know who released it.

Well, his voice is
distorted on the tape,

and you said you broke
up with him a month earlier.

You don't think there's a connection?

You don't think he
did it out of revenge?

Again, I don't know if
he released the tape.

We ended on good terms.

So...

You're not angry, at all?

Of course, I'm angry!

I'm angry that my family and friends
have to deal with this.

I'm angry that I lost my internship.

I'm angry that Kirkland
didn't handle things better and that

people jumped to conclusions

before hearing my side of the story.

Go ahead.

Go ahead.

- Hi.
- Hey...

Are you okay?

Yeah.

There's nothing to worry
about. They don't have any evidence.

- Just let me do the talking.
- I'm not worried.

- Miss Reade?
- Yes.

I'm Justin Grevillius, aide to Assistant
District Attorney Stanley.

I'm Martin Bayley, Miss
Reade's attorney.

- We spoke on the phone.
- Yeah.

This way.

We saw the Chicago Lister story.

Who is the man with you in the video?

He was a former boyfriend of my client.

She doesn't want to reveal his identity.

Why not? It's a criminal
act if he hacked her email.

We don't know who emailed the tape.

Well, we could find out.

Doesn't matter, my client doesn't
want to press charges.

Why not?

Cause you're engaging in prostitution?

There was no money involved.

My client was simply role-playing.

You don't have a case.

Why do you want me to
delete all our correspondence?

Is it 'cause you're worried
I'm gonna tell someone about us?

I'm not worried. You're
gonna do what you're gonna do.

Does Megan know?

Did you tell your wife about us?

I don't understand why
you won't talk to me.

I don't know what I did wrong.

I miss spending time with you.

Stay the fuck away from me!

You are fucking insane!

Miss Reade's lawyer also
sent over a video recording

of you having sex with
her in your apartment.

Is there something
else you wanna tell us?

No? Nothing?

You're through.

[sound of office noise in background]

[ffice door opening and closing]

[muted silence]

[David packing briefcase]

I'm leaving for the day.

You have a call with
Lisa Harrison at three.

- Do you want me to re-schedule?
- I'll have to get back to you.

- Are you okay?
- I'm fine, thanks.

[car door unlocking, opening]

[car door closing]

Fuck!

Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!

Fuck!

Fuck!

[painful breathing]

David's intentionally
throwing the XHP case.

That's a very serious accusation.

It's not an accusation.

Play it.

It is not going to trial.

I got it. I will make
sure it is not going to trial.

Our deal still stands.

Yeah.

The check goes to
Quorta. Still the same.

What do you know about Quorta?

Nothing.

Well why do you think she came to you?

I'm not entirely sure. Maybe

because I took an interest in her,

as a young woman starting her career.

Did she mention her
sexual relationship with David?

No, not to me.

She's threatening sexual harassment and

hostile work environment lawsuits.

We're going to have to negotiate.

We want you to be part of it.

You need a woman to be there.

You'll be taking David's position
as Managing Partner.

Your client accessed confidential

files without permission,

sent a sexually-explicit video of herself

to the entire staff at Kirkland,

targeted her co-workers,

and secretly recorded their reactions,

violating state wiretapping laws.

She purposely created this scenario

to make herself look
like a victim and bring suit.

Well, that's one way to look at it.

But from another
perspective, one of your managing partners

coerced a young intern into
a sexual relationship.

He publicly humiliated her in
an effort to discredit her

and to stop her from revealing

information that could damage your firm.

Are you suggesting Tellis sent
out the sex tape himself?

Are you sure that he didn't?

At the end of the
day, it doesn't matter.

If my client continues to go public

with further details about your firm,

you will lose.

The rest is just noise.

Write her a check.

Christine?

- Jacqueline?
- Wow, it's so good to see you!

Are you, ahh, meeting someone?

I am, actually.

- My lawyer.
- Oh good!

So tell me, what've you been up to?

How's the apartment?

It's great.

I'm just getting settled, starting
to feel like it's mine.

I think I know what you mean.

Wow, that is...

just a beautiful top.

Thank you.

I'm really happy to see that

things are going so well for you.

I've actually gotta get going.

Okay, I understand.

[busy restaurant in background]

- Hi.
- Hi.

Kirkland's gonna settle.

They wanna resolve it immediately.

- How much?
- A million.

They're insisting on a gag clause.

Can we get more?

You should take it.
You don't understand.

You've already won.

[laughter]

- Do you know him?
- No.

We could have met at my office.

It's fine.

[signing, shuffling papers]

There are two
bedrooms, two full bathrooms,

hardwood floors,

a washer/dryer,

and a gourmet kitchen
with a granite island.

There's also an indoor pool
and a 24-hour fitness center.

It's a quiet building.

Mostly professionals.

Hi, Amanda...

Hi, Dennis!

I missed seeing you.

I miss seeing you, too.

How are you?

I'm good!

I want to touch you.

[Dennis masturbating]

I wanna cum on your face.

Do it. I want you to.

[Dennis climaxing]

[Christine reaching orgasm]

There's a number of
options, depending on your income.

I'm keeping a low profile.

At the moment, I'm just
camming, which isn't very much money,

but I plan on starting back
up again in the next few months.

I understand. Whenever you're ready.

One option is to go off-shore,

but that can be very
costly to set up and maintain,

so I wouldn't recommend
it unless you're making

a substantial amount of money.

Another way is to set up
a corporation anonymously,

either in Wyoming or in Nevada.

You'll be the sole shareholder,

but the registered agent will
be the primary contact.

And they'll go on
public record, not you.

And most importantly, you can
declare your income to the IRS,

which will keep them off your back.

- Is Amanda your real name?
- Yes.

Show me your face.

You'll have to meet me
in person to see my face.

Show me your pussy.

Push it up to the front of the screen.

[man's erotic breathing]

[man reaching orgasm]

[sound of soft kiss]

You're so beautiful, Meg.

[sound of sensual kissing]

I missed you.

Please stop saying that.

[passionate sighing]

Take off your shirt.

I wanna keep it on.

I wanna feel your skin.

I wanna keep it on.

[erotic breathing]

I can't...

- Huh?
- I can't!

I can't.

I can't stop thinking about
you with other women.

- David...
- Chris.

- How are you?
- Good.

Good. Jim's gonna meet
us in the conference room.

Great.

- So how's the family?
- Great.

Thanks for asking, how's yours?

Kids aren't in jail
yet, so it's a good week.

[men laughing]

You need anything? Water, coffee?

- No, I'm good.
- All right.

And thanks for making the time.

- I really appreciate it.
- Yeah, of course.

- Well, people talk.
- Hmmm.

But we know that you're
a good lawyer and uh...

We wanted to get your side.

Well I'm not exactly
sure what you've heard,

Christine Reade, an intern,

accused me of...

uh, being sexually involved with her,

and it wasn't true.

She's unstable and had
a nervous breakdown.

I discussed it with the
other partners and we decided

the best way to minimize the
damage was to part ways.

And how long were you at Kirkland?

Fifteen years.

Well, that's unfortunate.

It turns you on, getting paid.

Say it!

It turns me on!

[man having sex]

[recording ends]

[man's heavy breathing comes up]

Take it in all the way.

You like getting paid
for sex, don't you?

Yes.

It turns you on, getting paid.

[man moaning with sexual pleasure]

Say it!

It turns me on!

[man climaxing, then silence]

[speed-dialing, cell phone ringing]

It's David.

I wanna see you.

[sounds of opening package]

[Christine arranging sex toys]

[sound of cell phone buzzing]

- Yes?
- It's David.

I wanna see you.

Why?

I wanna talk. I have something

I need to tell you.

I'm meeting someone.

Thanks for coming.

You're not staying?

I have to be somewhere soon.

I thought we were gonna have lunch.

What did you wanna talk about?

You know I'm no longer at Kirkland.

- Can I get you something to drink?
- No, I'm not staying.

Oh, let me know if you change your mind.

I'm not at Kirkland. They let me go.

I'm sorry. I didn't know that.

What did you think would happen?

You recorded our conversations.

You recorded us having sex...

I didn't do anything wrong.

I thought we could
have a serious conversation.

So did I. I was an intern.

You just wanted to
fuck me and get rid of me

when it wasn't
convenient for you anymore.

You didn't seem to care about my career.

What "career"?

I didn't ask for this.

I just dealt with it.

So you don't have a
job at Kirkland anymore,

how is that my problem?

You have connections.

Go out and get another
job and stop blaming me.

You recorded us having
sex, and you used it against me.

You planned this.

Welcome to the club.

And that video of you fucking that guy?

You were fucking him for money.

How the fuck do you know?

- You're guessing.
- You were paid to be there.

Everybody's paid to be everywhere.

It's called an economy.

- You just want the money.
- I want everything about it!

I fucked people, David,

but I didn't fuck them over,
like you were doing with XHP.

And you started this, you wanted this!

And I'm selling, yeah, but I
know exactly what I'm selling,

and they know exactly
what they're buying.

Yeah, cause you're a fucking whore!

What did you say?

You called me a fucking whore.

Say it again.

[splashing water]

[Christine's rapid footsteps]

[elevator door
closing, elevator descending]

[man's erotic sighing]

Don't stop. Keep going.

- Are you close?
- Don't talk, just watch me.
