Who the (Bleep) Did I Marry (2010–…): Season 2, Episode 18 - The Weapon Inside Me - full transcript

DIANE REEVE WAS NOBODY'S FOOL.

I HOLD RANK IN SEVERAL DIFFERENT
STYLES OF MARTIAL ARTS.

I DESCRIBE DIANE
AS A FORCE OF NATURE.

BUT WHEN PHILIPPE
PADIEU SWEPT HER OFF HER FEET,

DIANE THREW CAUTION TO THE WIND,

ONLY TO BE BLINDSIDED
BY HIS DEADLY SECRET...

THE EVILNESS OF IT...

TERRIFIED ME.

...A SECRET
JUST AS LETHAL AS A LOADED GUN.

PREDATORS HAVE A WAY
OF ATTACKING THEIR VICTIM,

AND DIANE BECAME A VICTIM.



WHEN IT COMES
TO LOVE AND MARRIAGE,

THINGS AREN'T ALWAYS
AS THEY SEEM.

DALLAS NATIVE DIANE REEVE
HAD ALWAYS BEEN A FIGHTER.

I BELIEVE VERY STRONGLY
IN INDOMITABLE SPIRIT,

AND THAT MEANS YOU NEVER QUIT
AND YOU NEVER GIVE UP.

BUT WHEN HER
18-YEAR MARRIAGE ENDED IN 2000,

THE 50-YEAR-OLD
MARTIAL-ARTS TEACHER

AND MOTHER OF TWO

WAS READY TO GIVE UP ON LOVE.

AND MY FRIENDS CONVINCED ME

THAT I WAS TOO YOUNG
AND TOO VIBRANT TO DO THAT,

AND THEY SUGGESTED
THAT I USE THE INTERNET.

I WAS ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE
THAT WOULD NEVER HAVE THOUGHT

THAT I WOULD HAVE TURNED
TO THE INTERNET.



I'M JUST THE DUMB JOCK
THAT TEACHES KARATE.

BUT IN THE WINTER OF 2001,

DIANE AGREED TO GIVE
ONLINE DATING A WHIRL.

SHE WENT ON SEVERAL DATES,

BUT SCREENING THESE MEN
WAS AN AWFUL LOT OF WORK.

I KIND OF CALL MYSELF

THE QUEEN
OF THE ONE-DATE WONDERS.

I'D GO OUT WITH THEM,
AND IT'D BE LIKE,

NO.

FRUSTRATED, DIANE BEGAN
TO WONDER IF SHE SHOULD GIVE UP...

UNTIL ONE DAY IN JANUARY 2002

WHEN SHE RECEIVED A MESSAGE FROM
A FRENCH MARTIAL-ARTS ENTHUSIAST

NAMED PHILIPPE PADIEU.

HE SEEMED
TO BE A LITTLE EXOTIC.

HE WAS NOT YOUR TYPICAL
COWBOY, TEXAS,

ROOTIN', TOOTIN' KIND OF DUDE.

PHILIPPE WAS NICE-LOOKING.

HE'S TALL, AND HE'S DARK,
AND HE'S HANDSOME.

HE HAS THE FRENCH ACCENT,

SO THAT'S ALWAYS
KIND OF INTRIGUING.

THEN FINALLY,
I AGREED TO GO OUT WITH HIM.

THAT FEBRUARY,

DIANE AND PHILIPPE
HAD THEIR FIRST DATE,

AND IT SEEMED LIKE
THE STARS WERE ALIGNING.

WE HAD A LOT OF FUN.

HE ENTERTAINED ME,

TOLD ME A LOT OF STORIES
ABOUT HIS LIFE.

I DID LIKE THE FACT
THAT HE WAS OPEN WITH ME.

HE DIDN'T SEEM
TO HOLD ANYTHING BACK.

HE DIDN'T SEEM
TO BE HIDING ANYTHING.

BEFORE LONG,
DIANE AND PHILIPPE

WERE SEEING EACH OTHER
ON A REGULAR BASIS.

AND AFTER A FEW MONTHS,
DIANE FOUND HERSELF EMBROILED

IN A PASSIONATE,
PHYSICAL RELATIONSHIP, AS WELL.

I TOLD HIM.

I SAID, "LOOK,
I'M NOT SEEING ANYBODY ELSE,

"AND IF YOU ARE, THAT'S OKAY.

"I JUST NEED TO KNOW THAT,

"BECAUSE IF YOU'RE SEEING
OTHER PEOPLE,

THEN WE NEED
TO BE USING CONDOMS."

BUT PHILIPPE ASSURED DIANE

SHE WAS THE ONLY WOMAN
IN HIS LIFE.

SO, AT THAT POINT,

THE RELATIONSHIP WENT
TO THE NEXT LEVEL.

DIANE WAS ECSTATIC.

PHILIPPE SEEMED
TO BE EVERYTHING SHE WANTED.

I FELT LIKE
WE WERE CONNECTING SO WELL.

I THOUGHT WE STARTED
TO BUILD A LIFE TOGETHER.

BUT JUST A FEW YEARS
LATER, EVERYTHING UNRAVELED,

AND DIANE FOUND HERSELF FACING

THE MOST TERRIFYING ORDEAL
OF HER LIFE.

BY THE WINTER OF 2007,

DIANE AND PHILIPPE HAD WEATHERED
THEIR SHARE OF UPS AND DOWNS,

BUT NOTHING
COULD HAVE PREPARED DIANE

FOR WHAT SHE DISCOVERED
THAT JANUARY.

IT ALL STARTED
WITH A STRANGE VOICEMAIL.

I GOT A VOICEMAIL
ON PHILIPPE'S PHONE,

AND I COULDN'T UNDERSTAND

WHY ANYBODY WOULD HAVE MY NAME
FOR THAT PHONE NUMBER.

I CALLED MY BEST FRIEND

AND SAID,
"I GOT THIS WEIRD PHONE CALL."

THE MESSAGE
DIDN'T SEEM TO MAKE SENSE,

AND DIANE WAS CERTAIN
IT WAS A PRANK.

AND SHE SAID,
"YEAH, IT'S A JOKE.

SOMEBODY'S MESSING WITH YOU."

BUT THE JOKE
WAS DEVASTATINGLY REAL,

AND TWO DAYS LATER,

DIANE WOULD FIND HERSELF FACING
THE TOUGHEST FIGHT OF HER LIFE.

MY KNEES HIT THE FLOOR.

I DON'T REMEMBER ANYTHING
AFTER THAT FOR A COUPLE HOURS.

NO RECOLLECTION.

IT SEEMED PHILIPPE
HAD BEEN DECEIVING HER

IN THE WORST POSSIBLE WAY.

I THINK HE'S A PREDATOR

IN A REAL SCREWED-UP
SORT OF WAY.

IN THE WINTER OF 2002,

FIVE YEARS BEFORE
THE MOST TRAUMATIC PHONE CALL

OF HER LIFE,

DIANE REEVE WAS GLOWING.

CLOSE FRIENDS
SUSPECTED PHILIPPE PADIEU,

HER BOYFRIEND OF ONE YEAR,
HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH IT.

PHILIPPE WAS ALWAYS
VERY ATTENTIVE TO HER.

HE WAS INCREDIBLY GOOD
AT COMPLIMENTS,

AND HE MADE HER FEEL ON TOP OF
THE WORLD, AND YOU COULD TELL.

BUT THAT CHRISTMAS,

THE HAPPY COUPLE
GOT SOME BAD NEWS.

PHILIPPE WAS BEING LAID OFF

FROM HIS JOB
AS A NETWORK ANALYST.

IT WAS A TOUGH BLOW,
SO DIANE WAS DETERMINED

TO DO WHATEVER SHE COULD
TO HELP THE MAN SHE LOVED.

I DID PAY
FOR A CELLPHONE FOR HIM.

I HELPED WITH HEALTH INSURANCE

AND GROCERIES AND DINNERS
AND GOING OUT TO EAT.

DIANE ALSO AGREED

TO LET PHILIPPE TEACH
SOME CLASSES AT HER SCHOOL.

I WAS IN LOVE WITH PHILIPPE.

IT DIDN'T BOTHER ME AT ALL
TO HELP HIM.

SO IN THE FALL OF 2005,

WHEN PHILIPPE BEGAN COMPLAINING

ABOUT PAIN
IN HIS BACK AND GROIN,

DIANE INSISTED
HE GO SEE A DOCTOR,

AND SHE EVEN WROTE HIM A CHECK
TO COVER THE COST.

HE HAD TOLD ME STORIES BEFORE

ABOUT HAVING HAD KIDNEY STONES.

THE DOCTOR DIDN'T FIND
ANY KIDNEY STONES,

BUT HE DID RUN A PANEL OF TESTS
FOR STDs.

SO, I SAID,
"WELL, WHAT WERE THE RESULTS?"

AND HE SAID, "WELL, I WON'T GET
THE RESULTS FOR ABOUT A WEEK."

PHILIPPE CLAIMED THE
TESTS WERE JUST A PRECAUTION,

BUT THE FOLLOWING WEEK,
THE DOCTOR'S OFFICE CALLED

AND ASKED THAT PHILIPPE COME IN
FOR HIS RESULTS.

THAT'S WHEN I PANICKED.

I KNEW THAT THAT WASN'T
A GOOD SIGN.

IF TESTS RESULTS WERE NEGATIVE,

THEY'D TELL YOU OVER THE PHONE.

AND I SAID,
"WELL, I WANT TO GO WITH YOU."

AND HE SAID,
"NO, I DON'T WANT YOU TO GO

"TO THE DOCTOR'S OFFICE WITH ME.

I'M A BIG BOY. I CAN DO THIS."

BUT DIANE WAS INSISTENT.

THE DAY
OF PHILIPPE'S APPOINTMENT,

SHE DROVE TO THE DOCTOR'S OFFICE
AND WAITED IN THE PARKING LOT.

FINALLY, AFTER WHAT
SEEMED TO BE AN ETERNITY,

HE COMES OUT OF THE BUILDING,
WALKS UP TO THE CAR,

AND I ROLLED DOWN THE WINDOW.

"HOW WERE THE TEST RESULTS?"

"EVERYTHING'S FINE."

I SAID,
"ALL YOUR TESTS ARE NEGATIVE?"

HE SAID, "YEP.
ALL MY TESTS ARE NEGATIVE."

AND I'M LIKE, "WHEW!"

I THOUGHT,
"THIS PARTICULAR DOCTOR

"JUST WANTS TO BE EXTRA CAREFUL,

AND THEY CALLED HIM IN TO GIVE
HIM NEGATIVE TEST RESULTS."

LIFE FOR THE COUPLE
CARRIED ON AS USUAL,

BUT FOR DIANE'S CLOSE FRIENDS,
THERE WAS CAUSE FOR CONCERN.

I JUST DIDN'T KNOW
THAT THIS WAS GOOD FOR HER.

I DIDN'T KNOW
IF IT WAS A SAFE RELATIONSHIP.

I WAS CONCERNED THAT HE WAS BUSY

WITH THE WORLD,
MAYBE OTHER WOMEN.

ONE MONTH LATER,
THOSE SUSPICIONS WERE CONFIRMED

WHEN DIANE STOPPED BY
THE MARTIAL-ARTS SCHOOL

ON HER WAY HOME
FROM A NIGHT OUT.

PHILIPPE'S CAR
WAS IN THE PARKING LOT,

SO DIANE WENT INSIDE
TO LOOK FOR HIM.

AND AS I MADE MY WAY
AROUND TO THE PRIVATE LESSON ROOM,

I NOTICED
THAT THE DOOR WAS CLOSED.

AND I WAS CALLING HIS NAME.

HE OPENED THE DOOR

AND BLOCKED MY ENTRANCE
INTO THE PRIVATE LESSON ROOM.

BUT PHILIPPE WASN'T FAST ENOUGH.

DIANE HAD ALREADY SPIED
A WOMAN'S PURSE IN THE ROOM.

I KNEW
THAT SHE WAS BEHIND THE DOOR,

AND SO I SLAMMED THAT DOOR OPEN
AS HARD AS I COULD.

SHE LEFT REALLY IN A HURRY.

SHE WAS LUCKY
SHE GOT OUT OF THERE.

DIANE WAS FURIOUS,
AND PHILIPPE FELL APART.

HE SWORE NOTHING HAD HAPPENED,

SO DIANE DECIDED TO GIVE HIM
THE BENEFIT OF THE DOUBT.

I HAD A LOT INVESTED IN HIM.

WE HAD A LOT OF TIME TOGETHER,
AND I WANTED IT TO WORK.

BUT JUST TWO MONTHS LATER,

ON THE DAY
OF HER DAUGHTER'S WEDDING,

DIANE WAS BETRAYED YET AGAIN.

HE CALLED ME AND SAID,
"I'M NOT FEELING WELL.

JUST GO ON TO THE PARTY
WITHOUT ME."

DIANE WENT AHEAD
AND WENT TO THE DINNER

AND THEN WENT BY HIS HOUSE.

AND THAT'S WHEN SHE KNEW
THAT SOMETHING WAS UP.

THERE WAS NOBODY AT THE HOUSE.

AT THAT POINT IN TIME,
I KNEW IT WAS OVER.

DIANE COULDN'T HELP BUT WONDER,

"HAD PHILIPPE BEEN HONEST
ABOUT ANYTHING?"

THAT'S PROBABLY ONE OF THE THINGS
THAT REALLY BROKE HER HEART.

THE ANSWER TO THAT
QUESTION WAS DEADLY SERIOUS.

THIS WAS SOMEONE
WHO ACTUALLY KNEW

THAT HE COULD BE KILLING
THESE WOMEN,

AND HE DIDN'T CARE.

BY JUNE 2006,

DIANE REEVE WAS READY TO BE RID

OF HER PHILANDERING BOYFRIEND,
PHILIPPE PADIEU.

THE COUPLE HAD BEEN TOGETHER
FOUR YEARS,

AND NOW DIANE FOUND HERSELF
WONDERING

HOW MANY LIES PHILIPPE HAD TOLD.

SINCE I WAS PAYING
FOR HIS CELLPHONE,

CHECKED
HIS VOICEMAIL MESSAGES...

NOT ONE BUT TWO WOMEN
SETTING UP TIMES TO BE TOGETHER.

IT WAS A BITTER PILL TO SWALLOW,

BUT THINGS WERE ABOUT TO GET
EVEN WORSE.

ON THE MONDAY AFTER WE BROKE
UP, I HAD MY ANNUAL PHYSICAL

AND I FOUND
I HAVE HUMAN PAPILLOMAVIRUS,

AND NOT ONLY DID I HAVE HPV,

BUT I ALSO HAD SOME
PRECANCEROUS CELLS.

HPV IS A SEXUALLY
TRANSMITTED DISEASE

THAT CAN LEAD TO CANCER.

DIANE KNEW PHILIPPE
HAD GIVEN IT TO HER.

I HADN'T BEEN WITH ANYBODY
ELSE IN FOUR AND A HALF YEARS,

SO I THOUGHT,
"WELL, YOU KNOW WHAT?

"IF HE GAVE IT TO ME,
THEN HE'S PROBABLY GIVEN IT

TO AT LEAST TWO OTHER WOMEN
THAT I KNOW HE'S BEEN WITH."

KNOWING SHE HAD A DUTY
TO WARN THESE WOMEN,

DIANE PULLED PHILIPPE'S
CELLPHONE RECORDS

AND STARTED DIALING.

SHE WAS STUNNED
BY WHAT SHE DISCOVERED.

I FOUND NINE OTHER WOMEN
THAT HE HAD BEEN SEEING,

AND THAT WAS JUST THE ONES THAT
I FOUND IN THE LAST TWO MONTHS.

HOW DO YOU JUGGLE
THAT MANY WOMEN?

THE VIOLATION OF TRUST
WAS STAGGERING,

AND SEVEN MONTHS LATER,
DIANE FOUND OUT

HOW DANGEROUS PHILIPPE'S
INDISCRETIONS HAD REALLY BEEN.

BY JANUARY 2007,

DIANE WAS HAVING
SERIOUS HEALTH ISSUES.

SHE HAD UNDERGONE SURGERY TO
REMOVE THE PRECANCEROUS CELLS,

BUT THE CELLS
WERE STILL GROWING.

DIANE WAS STARTING TO BE
VERY TIRED, FEELING RUN DOWN,

WHICH IS VERY UN-DIANE-LIKE.

AND I COULDN'T UNDERSTAND WHY.

I'D NEVER BEEN THAT WAY BEFORE.

I ALWAYS HAD A LOT OF ENERGY.

EVERYONE WAS CONCERNED,

AND THE EXPLANATION
WOULD BE DEVASTATING.

THE AFTERNOON OF JANUARY 23rd,

DIANE NOTICED
THERE WAS A VOICEMAIL

ON PHILIPPE'S CELLPHONE.

THE MESSAGE WAS FOR HER,

AND IT WAS FROM THE
DALLAS COUNTY HEALTH DEPARTMENT.

AND I COULDN'T UNDERSTAND
WHY THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT

WOULD BE CALLING ME
ON PHILIPPE'S PHONE.

AT FIRST,
DIANE THOUGHT IT MUST BE A JOKE.

THEN I CALLED THE NUMBER BACK,

AND THEY ANSWERED THE PHONE,

"DALLAS COUNTY
HEALTH DEPARTMENT,"

AND I KNEW IT WASN'T A JOKE.

TERRIFIED, DIANE HUNG UP.

I SCROLLED BACK THROUGH
ON HIS PHONE.

THE LAST PERSON THAT I TALKED TO
WAS SUSAN.

SUSAN WAS ONE
OF THE WOMEN DIANE HAD CALLED

TO WARN ABOUT HPV.

SUSAN HAD BROKEN UP
WITH PHILIPPE IN DECEMBER

AND HAD TAKEN A PANEL
OF STD TESTS.

I JUST CALLED HER, AND I SAID,

"I JUST GOT A CALL
FROM THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT.

WHAT CAN YOU TELL ME
ABOUT THAT?"

AND SHE SAID, "WE NEED TO TALK."

AND SOMEHOW I KNEW.

BEFORE SHE EVEN SAID
THE WORDS "H.I.V.,"

EVERYTHING CRASHED IN ON ME...

AND I KNEW.

THREE WEEKS EARLIER,

SUSAN HAD TESTED POSITIVE
FOR H.I.V.

AND THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT
CONTACTS THE PERSON

AND ASKS THEM TO GIVE NAMES
OF PEOPLE WHO MIGHT BE EXPOSED.

SHE GAVE THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT
PHILIPPE'S NAME,

AND SHE GAVE THEM MY NAME.

DIANE IMMEDIATELY
WENT IN FOR A TEST.

AND TWO DAYS LATER,

GOT A PHONE CALL FROM MY OB-GYN,

AND SHE SAID, "DIANE,
I HAVE YOUR TEST RESULTS,

AND YOU'RE H.I.V.-POSITIVE."

AND MY KNEES HIT THE FLOOR.

FURTHER TESTING YIELDED
EVEN MORE DEVASTATING NEWS.

DIANE'S ILLNESS
HAD PROGRESSED TO AIDS.

HER IMMEDIATE REACTION WAS SHE
HAD BEEN GIVEN A DEATH SENTENCE.

SO, I STARTED TO TELL MY FAMILY,

AND I CALLED SUSAN BACK

AND TOLD HER THAT MY RESULTS
WERE POSITIVE, TOO.

SUSAN HAD ALREADY
GIVEN PHILIPPE THE BAD NEWS

AND NOTIFIED HIM THAT THE HEALTH
DEPARTMENT WOULD BE CALLING.

HIS REACTION WAS UNSETTLING.

AND HE GOES, "WHAT?!

YOU GAVE MY NAME
TO THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT?!"

AND IT WASN'T, "MY GOSH.
I'M SO SORRY YOU HAVE H.I.V."

IT WASN'T, "MY GOSH. I MIGHT
HAVE BEEN EXPOSED TO H.I.V."

IT WAS ANGER
ABOUT HER GIVING HIS NAME

TO THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT.

PHILIPPE WAS STRANGELY CAVALIER

ABOUT SUSAN'S DIAGNOSIS,

AS IF HE HAD KNOWN ALL ALONG.

AND THAT MADE HER
VERY SUSPICIOUS.

WHAT DID PHILIPPE KNOW,

AND WHEN DID HE KNOW IT?

WELL, HE STARTED TO GET ANGRY
PRETTY EARLY ON.

WE KNEW SOMETHING WAS WRONG.

I THINK HE'S JUST DISGUSTING.

HE'S A PREDATOR.

WE KNEW WE HAD TO STOP HIM.

IN FEBRUARY 2007,

DIANE REEVE
WAS FIGHTING FOR HER LIFE.

SHE HAD CONTRACTED AIDS
FROM HER PHILANDERING BOYFRIEND,

PHILIPPE PADIEU.

I KNEW IT WAS FROM PHILIPPE.

HADN'T BEEN WITH ANYBODY ELSE.

EVEN WORSE,

PHILIPPE SEEMED STRANGELY
UNSURPRISED BY THE NEWS.

WE HAD SUSPICIONS

THAT HE HAD KNOWN
THAT HE WAS POSITIVE

FOR SOME PERIOD OF TIME,
THAT THIS WAS NO ACCIDENT.

DETERMINED TO FIGHT BACK,

DIANE ENLISTED THE HELP
OF SUSAN,

ONE OF PHILIPPE'S EXES WHO HAD
ALSO BEEN DIAGNOSED WITH H.I.V.

TOGETHER, THE TWO WOMEN
PAID A VISIT TO THE LOCAL P.D.

WHEN WE MET WITH
THE DETECTIVE, HE SAID,

"YOU KNOW, THIS IS GONNA BE
A PRETTY DIFFICULT CASE

"BECAUSE IT'S PRECEDENT-SETTING.

"IF WE HAVE TWO PEOPLE FILE
CHARGES, THEN THAT'S BETTER.

IF WE HAVE MORE THAN TWO PEOPLE,
THEN WE'LL MAKE A CASE."

SO, WE WENT TO WORK.

DIANE AND THE OTHER WOMEN

WERE VERY INSTRUMENTAL
IN FINDING OTHER PEOPLE

WHO HAD BEEN EXPOSED TO THIS.

I PULLED
CELLPHONE RECORDS AGAIN,

AND WE STARTED CALLING PEOPLE
TO LET THEM KNOW

THAT THEY NEEDED TO GET TESTED
FOR H.I.V.

THE CALLS RESULTED
IN THREE MORE WOMEN FINDING OUT

THAT THEY, TOO,
HAD BEEN INFECTED WITH H.I.V.

FOR DIANE,
PUTTING PHILIPPE BEYOND BARS

BECAME A MATTER
OF LIFE AND DEATH.

I WAS VERY DETERMINED

TO MAKE SURE THAT
HE DIDN'T HURT ANYBODY ELSE.

DIANE AND SUSAN
WERE SOON JOINED BY MEGAN,

ANOTHER H.I.V.-POSITIVE VICTIM
OF PHILIPPE'S.

MEGAN NOTICED

THAT THERE WERE CARS IN
PHILIPPE'S DRIVEWAY EVERY NIGHT,

SO SHE STARTED WRITING DOWN
THE LICENSE TAG NUMBERS.

I HAD A FRIEND
WHO COULD RUN THE PLATES,

AND WE WOULD TRACK DOWN
THE WOMEN

AND THEN EITHER CALL THEM
OR PAY THEM A VISIT.

ON FEBRUARY 22nd,

THE THREE WOMEN HAD PHILIPPE
SERVED WITH A COURT ORDER

FROM THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT.

THE MANDATE WAS CLEAR.

DISCLOSE, USE PROTECTION,
OR ABSTAIN.

AND HE HAD TO SIGN
THAT DOCUMENT.

THERE WAS A CAR
IN HIS DRIVEWAY THAT NIGHT

AND THE NEXT NIGHT AFTER THAT.

AND HE HAD NOT DISCLOSED,
USED PROTECTION, OR REFRAINED

BECAUSE WE TALKED
TO THOSE WOMEN.

AT THAT POINT,
I BEGAN TO SEE THE EVIL,

AND IT REALLY
STARTED TO FRIGHTEN ME.

THIS WAS SOMEONE
WHO ACTUALLY KNEW

THAT HE COULD BE KILLING
THESE WOMEN.

HE WAS, AT THE MINIMUM,

CAUSING SERIOUS BODILY INJURY
BY RECKLESS CONDUCT.

AS EVIDENCE
AGAINST PHILIPPE MOUNTED,

DIANE REMEMBERED
ANOTHER KEY DETAIL

THAT WOULD HELP SEAL HIS FATE...

THAT 2005 DOCTOR'S VISIT,
OSTENSIBLY FOR KIDNEY STONES.

AND SOME LIGHT BULB
WENT OFF IN MY HEAD,

AND I THOUGHT,

"COULD IT HAVE BEEN
THAT HE REALLY DID KNOW

"THAT HE WAS H.I.V.-POSITIVE
THAT DAY?

COULD THAT REALLY BE POSSIBLE?"

DIANE IMMEDIATELY
INFORMED THE POLICE,

WHO SUBPOENAED
PHILIPPE'S TEST RESULTS.

THE MEDICAL RECORDS INDICATED

THAT HE HAD BEEN INFORMED
THAT HE WAS H.I.V.-POSITIVE.

IT WAS THE NAIL IN THE COFFIN.

IN JULY 2007,

PHILIPPE WAS ARRESTED
AT A TEXAS NIGHTCLUB.

HE WAS CHARGED WITH SIX COUNTS

OF AGGRAVATED ASSAULT
WITH A DEADLY WEAPON.

THE INDICTMENT ALLEGED
A SERIOUS BODILY INJURY

BY TRANSMITTING THE H.I.V. VIRUS
THROUGH BODILY FLUIDS,

WHICH WAS ALLEGED AS BEING
THE DEADLY WEAPON.

IN MAY 2009,

SIX H.I.V.-POSITIVE WOMEN

TESTIFIED AGAINST PHILIPPE
AT TRIAL.

WHEN THE VERDICT WAS READ,

DIANE, SUSAN, AND MEGAN
WERE ALL PRESENT.

WE STOOD AND HELD HANDS

AS THEY READ
EACH GUILTY VERDICT.

SIX GUILTIES.

PHILIPPE WAS SENTENCED
TO 45 YEARS FOR FIVE COUNTS.

HE RECEIVED 25 YEARS
FOR ONE COUNT... DIANE'S.

PHILIPPE NEVER ADMITTED GUILT.

PHILIPPE TRIED TO BLAME
EVERYBODY EXCEPT FOR HIMSELF.

YOU KNOW, IT WAS ANYBODY'S FAULT
BUT HIS FAULT.

IT HASN'T BEEN
AN EASY ROAD FOR DIANE,

WHO HAD TO OVERCOME
A MOUNTAIN OF HEALTH ISSUES

BECAUSE OF PHILIPPE'S BETRAYALS.

BUT ULTIMATELY,
THE FIGHTER IN HER PREVAILED.

I'M DOING BETTER... NOT NORMAL,

BUT BETTER
THAN WHEN I WAS DIAGNOSED.

THE MEDICINE IS WONDERFUL.

IT KEEPS THE VIRUS FROM GROWING,

AND IT KEEPS YOU
FROM FEELING SICK,

BUT THERE'S
A LOT OF PILLS INVOLVED.

DIANE HAS COPED
THROUGH ALL OF THIS

BECAUSE TO DO ANYTHING LESS
IS NOT HOW DIANE IS.

SOMEBODY WITH
FOUR DIFFERENT BLACK BELTS,

YOU KNOW, DOESN'T GO DOWN
WITHOUT A FIGHT.

TODAY, DIANE CAN STILL BE FOUND

AT HER MARTIAL ARTS ACADEMY,

LIVING AND TEACHING
A HARD-WON MESSAGE.

NO MATTER
WHETHER LIFE KNOCKS YOU DOWN,

YOU HAVE TO GET RIGHT BACK UP.

FALL DOWN SEVEN TIMES,
GET UP EIGHT.
