Dr. Lightman, the guys from homeland security are here.
They want your assessment of the new handheld polygraph.
I'll be right there.
Do you workat the department of homeland security?
Yes.
Yeah.
- Do you have black hair? - Yes.
See, the handheldmeasures cardio and galvanic skin response.
It's the only polygrapevereveloped with this kindof portability.
Oh, not quite.
Uh, cal,you know secretary miller from homelandsecurity.
Good to see you.
And this istom whitmore, the new tsadeputy.
what the hell is this?
It's a lie detector.
The west africansused them first.
When you're on trial,you held the egg in your hands,
and if it broke,it's a sign of anxiety.
You were found guilty.
well, I'd say our handheld'sa little more advanced.
Well, unfortunately, both devices sufferfrom the same problem.
Uh, ms. Cooper,would you mind?
may I?
Could you ask the controlquestions again, please?
What are you doing?
Do you work at the departmentof homeland security?
Uh, yes.
- Do you have black hair? - Yes.
The problem with allpolygraph tests is false positives.
Innocent people can fail if they feel an increasein any emotion--
anger, fear, sexual arousal.
Not just guilt.
Your polygraphis no better than the egg at telling us whichemotion it's responding to.
No.
I've been wantingto try that for years.
E, you would have beenund foguilty, but you were just angry.
You should be, uh, spendingyour money studying the face.
43 muscles combine toproduce a possility of 10,000 expressions.
Now, if youlearn them all, yoyou don't need a polygraph.
How much did we spendon this damn project anyway?
Uh, not much. I'm sure we can recoupmost of our costs.
- Now, that was lovely. - What?
- A gestural retreat. - What's that?
His step backwards. Means he doesn't believea word he just said.
He's lying.
Well, I'm not a crook.
I've earned everything I've got.
Lie To Me Season 1 - Episode 2 "Moral Waiver"
what do you see?
I see a skeptical, emotionally distant scientist obsessing over facial twitches.
Why are you doing micro expression training?
Well, I got it set at triple speed.
You know, when you try and hide your emotions, they leak out at a fifth of a second?
Well, this is testing me at a 15th of a second.
Impressive.
{a6}FEAR
You know who else is impressive on that thing?
Is this another attempt to get me to take ms. Torres under my wing?
You need somebody to back you on the military case.
I got you for that.
I'll be courtside with earl white.
It's a freshman shooting guard, hottest nba prospect in the country.
College athletic association wants us to find out if he took a bribe to play for gwcu.
Well, we got a meeting at fort meade in half an hour.
Look, I'll... I'll meet you there later, okay, but let's get torres involved.
She's a natural. She's got phenomenal instincts.
Doesn't mean she knows the science.
Dr. Foster said you wanted to see me?
What do you see?
Ange R.
Fear.
Sadness.
Let's go.
Specialist sheila lake has served with the 23rd mountain division for three years,
two of those in afghanistan.
Lake is asserting that she was raped by her platoon leader,
staff sergeant russell scott.
We'd like you to find out if the allegation's true.
lake. Lake!
Grab your gear and report to the staff judge advocate.
Is sergeant scottbeing court-martialed?
We're not there yet.
Sergeant scott'sleadership is crucial to the tribalintelligence missions
we're runningon the pakistani border.
We start a court-martial proceeding, he'll be off theline for six months.
Then, I'm afraidwe can't help you.
Excuse me?
Hire us when youwant the truth.
Why waste taxpayers' money ifthat's not what you're after?
Dr. Lightman, my first concernis the safety of every womanin that platoon.
That's why we'reinvestigating.
But sergeant scottpassed a polygraph.
Yeah, well,I bet his grandmother didn't think he did it, either.
That's equally reliable.
Look, sergeant scott's setto redeploy in three days.
He's the only commander who can recognizehostiles on that border.
Without him,the mission's more dangerous for every soldierin the 23rd.
I certainly can'thave a rapist in charge ofthe females in that platoon,
but if I'm going to pull sergeant scottoff the line,
I need to know this womanis telling the truth.
Six-five, moves li ke he's five-one.
Could dunk at ten, won thestate championship at 14.
National high schoolplayer of the year the last three years.
I would not have pegged youfor a hoops geek.
You know thefifth-grade boy with the vintagedr. J poster
and the instant recallof his career stats?
I was that boy.
Dr. Foster? I'm jeremy levinewith the athletic association.
Thanks for coming down.
Who doesn'tenjoy a day watching earl whitedo his thing?
Howard taftcertainly does.
He's thealumni booster who allegedly paid earl $50,000to come and play for carver.
We'd like to investigatethis quietly.
Earl's a good kid. He lost his momlast year.
He's raisinghis brother on his own.
Plus, he's gonnago pro this spring, and you don't wantany more bad press for the "one and done" rule.
Making kids go to college for a yearbefore they turn pro forces them to takehigh school more seriously.
It also forcesyoung superstars to play a yearof college ball, jacking up ratingsand revenues.
Loker here has a hard timewith half-truths.
Earl white,dr. Gillian foster and her associate,eli loker.
You folksare the lie guys, right?
More the truth guys,but it depends on the case.
Do you havesome time to chat?
You know, I have to takemy little brother home, and I got an econ midtermtomorrow.
Need to get with the books,you know?
But hit my cell later. Anything I c doto clear my name.
Appreciate it.
Any quick reads?
His speech was hurried, and he brought that basketballto his chest, creating a barrier between us.
Those are both signs of anxiety.
Well, that's something any college athletemight feel when he's been accusedof taking a bribe.
We're not magicians. We're scientists.
We'll need to talk to earland the booster to spot any conclusive signsof lying.
I'm not naive, okay?
When you sign upto be one of four women in a platoonof 30 guys,
guys who aren'tgonna see another womanfor six months, well...
like they say in girl scouts, "be prepared."
So, you wereharassed?
Porn in the latrines...
jody calls.
Jody calls?
* I taught that bitchher left then right *
* nailed her ass then left last night.*
- Got it. - Yeah.
Did staff sergeant scottparticipate in any of this?
He didn't make jokes or anything, but...
oh, his hands were everywhere.
He liked to walk in on uswhile we were changing, if we were in the showers.
Tell us about the attack.
I was, uh...
I was on my way backfrom a workout.
Ran into himbehind the mess.
And he ordered me to strip.
He grabbed me.
He pinned me down.
And he assaulted me.
I was sexually assaulted.
Hey, what's upwith the mime act?
You ask the questions,I observe.
Dr. Lightman findsasking questions distracting.
He prefers to watch.
You finish the psych profileon the guy she's accused?
Nice to see you, too.
What's his problem?
"Friendly fire." "Collateral damage."
You can start with thelies in the language.
Bet they're notgonna end there.
Last tuesday? I went to dinner.
I had a few drinksat the nco club.
I stopped by the px, and then headed backto the barracks.
Tell me again--start with drinks.
Drinks, px, barracks.
Toothpaste and deodorant. I have the receipt.
You weren't anywherenear the mess hall?
I just said I wasn'T.
And you're telling me you didn'tattack specialist lake?
That's exactly what I'm saying,and while we're on the subject...
Okay. That's good.
Thanks for your time.
Hey, you. Whoa, quite a bicepyou have there.
You must really lovethe weight room, huh?
I don't normally mix business withpleasure, but...
And I was wondering you fancygrabbing a drink later or...
Uh, I'm not gay.
And isn't thisa little inappropriate?
Absolutely. Sorry.
Ght. Ri excuse me.
What the hell was that?
I love a man in uniform,you know?
The rape was unplaed,one time, with no additionalviolence.
That suggestsa power assertive rapist, somebody who is obsessedwith masculinity,
who needs othersto see him as a man.
If sergeant scott fitthe profile, he would have reactedto my overture with one emotion-- disgust.
There was no disgust,just surprise.
Correct-- eyebrows up, jaw down.
Okay, but... the guy was totally amped up.
Yeah, but he showedno deception leakage, right,no sign of lying.
He looked like he wantedto throw me across the room.
A man charged with rapeis even more likely to be angry if he's innocent.
- Well, they can't bothbe telling the truth. - They're not.
Sheila lake madetwo mouth shrugs when she was describingthe rape.
That's a classic gestural slip.
It means she has no confidencein her words.
The woman was lying.
I was sexually assaulted.
You really think a woman would lie about rape?
Unpleasant truths, pleasant truths, human mortality,a moustache on a woman--
three thingswe'd all prefer to ignore.
Fbi crime reports have found that eight percent of rapeallegations are false.
Okay, but the army vetsI worked with at tsa said that sexual assaultwas a big problem.
It doesn't explainthe gestural slip.
Lake's alsonot exhibiting any of the emotionsa rape victim typically displays
whenrecounting her story.
No shame... no fear.
We should be seeing a lotof activity in the forehead, but there isn't any.
Maybe she's got post-traumatic stress.
Emotional numbingmight explain her inabilityto express her feelings...
but not the mouth shrug.
Look, I'm telling you,there's something off about sergeant scott.
You know, I once had actors play out the testimonyfrom a rape case
in front of 30 federal judges.
And you knowthe biggest predictor of whether they believed the man or the woman?
E gender of the judge.
You think I'm saying he's guilty 'cause I'm a woman?
Me, darwin, and 2,000 yearsof evolutionary biology.
Well, I think whatdr. Lightman is trying to say is
that it's important not tolet what you bring in the room affect what yousee in the room.
Dr. Lightman?
What is it?
Harassment report. Opportunity rep just sent it over.
Looks like it was filedanonymously last fall.
It alleges sergeant scottsurprised women in the showers
and entered their barracksunannounced.
Hmm, backs up lake's story.
You know,generally it's not a good idea to call your boss an idiot.
- I didn't sayyou were an idi... - but your buccinator did.
That's not...
oh, that's a pretty impressivecombination of contempt and disgust.
I'M... I'm S... I...
apology accepted.
Head back to fort meade and check intothe personnel files of the woman andthe sergeant.
And hang in there.
- You should consider goinga little easier on torres. - Why?
She's all false positives.
See, that's the troublewith naturals.
They don't seewhat's missing. They're all instinctand no science.
I'll havea falafel sandwich, please.
An italian ice. Grape.
You wash your hands today?
Uh, yeah, of course.
Do you have any kindof pain in your neck?
Uh, no. Why?
People touch itwhen they lie.
It's a classic manipulator.
- You beento them athrootoday? - Cal.
Uh, no.
Oh, great.
Anybody else wanta side of feces?
Anybody? Side of feces?
If an alum took me here, I would want to playhoops for carver.
I bet it made an impressionon earl white.
Why is it guys namedwhite are always black and guys named blackare always white?
Am I going to besorry you're here?
Barry white,jack black.
Does your radical honestypledge mean you have to sayeverything you think?
It's the only wayto be truly honest.
Let's turn it offwhile we're working, shall we?
Now, what do we knowabout the booster?
Uh, howard taft, forty-five, made his moneyon internet job boards,
led the funding campaign forcarver's new athletic center.
Apparently helikes giving back.
Mr. Taft, thanks for agreeingto talk with us.
Always a pleasure to talkcarver basketball, dr. Foster.
Oh, championship ring. Sweet.
Must have cost afortune online.
Actually, I, uh,I earned it riding the pinefor the '86 team.
What's that?
It's a, uh, voice stress analyzer.
It measures pitchand gauges anxiety.
We find it's less about whatyou say than how you say it.
Now, tell usabout your relationship with earl white.
He ordered me to strip.
He grabbed me...
oh, sorry.
These are specialistlake's platoon mates.
Thanks for coming in.
I want to conductindividual interviews, so if you could comewith me, you two stay here.
Thanks, heidi.
Pinned me down.
And he assaulted me.
I was sexually assaulted.
you finish the vocalstress analysis on taft?
Yeah. Check it out.
Oh, championship ring. Sweet.
Must have cost a fortune online.
Actually, I... I earned it riding the pine for the '86 team.
Typical vocal stresson a typical question.
That's taft'svocal stress baseline.
And given how irritatingmost people find you...
it's a high tolerance baseline.
He'd have to beextremely anxious for his pitchto spike above it, so...
applying the baseline...
you can see from the spikesthat taft had three moments of extreme anxiety.
Let me guess. That's when he denied bribingour basketball phenom.
Yep. Indistinguishableto the ear, but...
and, no, I didn't bribe earl white.
Really, I didn't give earl a penny.
A bribe? I barely know the kid.
Thanksto the technology, we can see the stressin taft's voice.
The data suggestsyoung mr. White just came into a lot of money.
But we've seen no uptick in earl'sspending habits.
I talked to his friends.
The guy's got no bling, he lives in a walk-upwith his brother, he takes the bus...
earl's got a big payday coming assoon as he turns pro.
Why take taft's moneyif he's not going to spend it?
The psychology'sinconsistent.
We need to getinside earl's head.
You want me to pullrecent interview footage,
see if he leaks anything when he talks aboutplaying for carver?
Yeah.
What's that last sound wave?
Always a pleasure to talk carver basketball, dr. Foster.
That is when taft met you.
See how the graphis all scrunched up?
It indicates arousal.
Apparentlythe pine was not the only thingour aging jock wanted to ride.
Hey, can I...
Please.
Staff sergeantscott has a past.
He has a criminal record?
A long one.
I thought you couldn't getinto the army with a record.
You can't, unless they grant youwhat's called a moral waiver.
It used to bejust for misdemeanors,
but the armyis so stretched for recruits that they're using themto let felons in.
Moral waiver.
The army reallyhas a way with words.
Uh, sergeant scottwas arrested for possession, arson,assault and battery...
he has an arson conviction?
He was 16,but the assault's more recent.
No, I-it's the arsonthat's significant.
Arson and rape havean unusually high correlation.
They're both crimesabout the assertion of power.
So with the arson conviction...
yeah. It makes the rapea lot more likely.
We're seng promising indicators in the pentium chip market.
Techspring earningsshould be strong as ever.
Hey, boss.
Call my broker, have him dump all my holdingsin techspring.
Okay. And, uh, I just spokewith major harris' office.
I told themyou were on your way.
Look at that hand shrug.
It's not a good time to be investing in techspring.
We need to talk about sergeant scott.
This is classified. How'd you get it?
The same wayyou would have.
Given the correlationbetween arson and rape...
well, it's interesting,but it's irrelevant, I'm afraid.
Turns out lake's ptoon matesd rather a lot to say.
Heidi said they wouldn'ttalk about the rape.
Well, I didn't bring themin to hear them talk.
I brought them into watch them listen.
- They turned thevideo back on, huh? - Yep.
It's human nature.
They always flip the switch.
Hey, natural. What do you see?
Nothing. I don't seeanything.
Exactly.
- I don't understand. - Well, look.
The absence of emotion is...
just as importantas the presence of emotion.
Now, you,you need to learn that.
When womenlisten to a rape victim they believe,they reflect certain emotions.
They blush, avert their eyes,hunch their shoulders.
These women exhibitnone of that.
They're not showingany reflectors.
So they don't believe her. That doesn't prove anything.
Lake lived with those womenfor three years and neither one of themis reacting.
They knowthis rape never happened.
You made a false accusationagainst your sergeant. That's a crime.
And then there's the other women in your platoon.
You know, we have mpsstanding by.
If your friendshelped you plan this, they're as guiltyas you are, right?
They know you're lying,don't they?
Thought so.
Have the mps arresther platoon mates. They're all in on it.
No!Look, they had noth...They had nothing to do with it.
It was my idea.
Sergeant Scott didn't rape you?
No.He didn't.
Take Specialist Lake into custody.
How could you do this?
You know how hard it is for women in the military.
The army has just started to take these claims seriously.
There are victims out there who need help.
A lot of them.
You should be ashamed of yourself.
Ashamed?
I may have lied, but I was doing the right thing.
Okay, I was trying to protect my platoon.
I was doing the right thing.
I was doing the right thing!
ladies, if you could,uh, wait in there, I will be taking youin one at a time.
Playing outyour favorite fantasies, loker?
Studyingthe psychological influence of uniformson credibility.
Lightman wanted to see how they affect people'sability to spot lies.
Women in uniform?
I do love my work.
How's it going with lightman?
Uh, he's not my biggest fan.
Well, that's just'cause you're uneducated.
Excuse me?
We, you're a natural.
The few naturalslightman's come across have one thing in common.
No college degree.
You haven't been askedto focus on verbal skills, so you focus on body language.
You're sayingI can't learn the science.
I'm saying you didn't ha to.
That's got tobe irritating for a guywho's spent two decades trying to seewhat you were born seeing.
Thanks.
That's very un-loker of you.
I've never beenwith a latina woman.
Don't push it.
How's it goingwith the ballplayer?
- Ballplayers play baseball. - Yeah.
Chicken dumpling?
Oh, no. Never eatmeat I can't see.
No. Really. No. You have no ideawhat's in there.
Take a look at this.
Earl white just tookstate for the third time.
The kid's on the list of everynba scout in the country,
but when asked aboutplaying pro ball...
chin thrust. He's angry.
Very.
Earl white shouldbe on top of the world. Why is he secretly angry?
I spot the liars. You're the feelingsdepartment.
Follow me.
I got somethingfor you.
Okay, would you lie to right a wrong?
Depends. Why?
Lake lied, but then said she wasprotecting her platoon.
I'm doing the right thing.
She said it with conviction,and with no deception leakage.
How does accusing your commanderof rape protect the platoon?
That's what iasked myself.
Okay, these are the individual interviewswith her platoon mates.
Watch what happens whenthey discuss sergeant scott.
Sergeant scott is a strong leader.
I'm glad sergeant scott's in command.
- Concealed disgust. - Yup.
Looks the sameevery time.
They knowhe didn't rape sheila lake, but they feel intense disgustfor him.
Made me think.
What if sheilalake didn't lie about everything?
What if she lied about thevictim, but not the crime?
So, you think sergeant scott rapedsomeone else in the platoon?
The harassment report,arson conviction-- both consistent with theprofile of a rapist, right?
What if the real victim is too scaredto come forward?
So lake accuses sergeant scottto right a past wrong,
and to protect the other womenin the platoon.
Do you thinkscott raped one of them?
No. None of them isexhibiting any fear.
It could have been someonewho was transferred, orr killed in combat.
I thought we weredone with this case.
No. It's possible sergeant scott raped someone who used to be in the platoon.
Your buccinator'splaying up again.
It's not... I didn't say...
Oh, look. Now you'reembarrassed.
Well, you haveevery reason to be. You did get it wrong,didn't you?
- I mean, sergeant scott didn't rape sheila lake. - Cal...
what? She's the one making snidecomments. Look at her face.
How do people work here?
Sergeant scott redeployswithin 24 hours.
I want you to get aholdof military personnel.
I want the historic rosterfor the platoon right away.
Got it.
What?
Oh, what,now you're starting on me?
Don't say something you'll regret. And I saw that.
Can I have a muffin?
Ah, no. No, no, no, youdon't want the muffins here. They are terrible.
They taste like sofa cushions covered with the moldy nutsyour grandmother used to
- keep in that old jar on her... - Okay, okay.
Between you and lightman,a girl could starve. Do you have something for me?
Yeah, um...
I've been watching tape of e l trying to understandwhat's behind the anger.
Uh, nothing so far,but I did come up with this expression.
I've been throughthe facial coding book, and there's elementsof au-four and au-five.
- But it's not anger. - No.
It's not.
Can we pull up full statsfor earl over the year?
Sure. What emotion is it?
It's not an emotion.
And earlier, ceo robert rosiello tried to calm investors
after techspring shares plummeted in the wake of a subpar q1 earnings report.
This is entirely unexpected.
I'm sure we'll rebound in the second quarter.
You know, for a ceo,this guy's a terrible liar.
You talk to personnelat fort meade?
None of the womenin the 23rd died in combat, but there's onewho went awol.
Rebecca metz was on the 23rd'sroster in afghanistan.
Went awolfour months ago, shortly afterher transfer request was denied.
She tried to transfer outof her platoon?
That's not all.
Here's a copy of the anonymousharassment report on sergeant scott.
Handwriting's the same.
They have any idea where she is?
No, but the numberof awol soldiers has doubled since we invaded iraq.
I doubt they gotthe manpower to play that muchhide-and-seek.
- Well, she's got relativesin baltimore, right? - Yeah.
Hate to miss a family reunion.
Hello?
Uh, what canI do for you?
Looking for your granddaughter,rebecca metz?
She's not here.
Sounds good. You mind if I borrow this?
What? Where are you going?
Help!
- Help! - Grandpa? Grand...
help.
Sheila admitted she was lying, but she said she was tryingto protect the platoon.
I don't knowwhat this has to do with me.
Sheila didn't makeeverything up.
We know whyyou went awol.
We're not herefor the army.
We just want to knowwhat happened.
I, uh...
never had a problem with sergeant scottin the states.
He wasn't loudor gross like the other guys. But...
but on our first day inafghanistan, after curfew,
he came in my tent.
He raped you?
The sergeant'sin charge.
He's supposed to have your back.
My job is to say yes.
Yes, sir.
It happened more than once?
Almost every night over there... for months.
I couldn't take it anymore. When we got back, I just...
you ran.
You need to come with us.
Your platoon redeploys tomorrow.
You can't letthe army send those women back to afghanistanwith sergeant scott.
I can't go back.
Well, what about sheila? She lied for you.
- I... I can'T. - Rebecca...
no. I...
Okay. Okay then.
- Sorry tobarge in. - What are you doing?
- I'm going back to the base. - But...
okay.
How did... Did they follow us here?
Oh, no. I called them.
Leave me alone.
- Rebecca... - I know you calledthe mps.
Well, I had hopedyou'd talk, but, yeah, I had themstanding by.
- Rebecca, if you explain to us... - Don't you get it?
Do you have any ideawhat it's like to be a woman in the military?
You're either a bitchor a whore.
And they're just waitingfor you to fail, to admit you can't hack it.
Well, then, go to jail. That'll sh 'em.
Be all you can be.
You're scared.
You are still scared of sergeant scott.
I'm not afraid of him.
You're afraid of something.
I'm afraidthey won't believe me.
Ah, it doesn't matterif they believe you.
They'll believe me.
******
Hey, earl. Thanks for taking the time.
By the way,I'm a big fan. Would you mind?
Oh, no problem.
Bet this'll be wortht a losome day.
Oh, yeah.
Autographs, shoes, bobble heads.
Pro ball is big business.
See the chin thrust?
What?
You thrust your chin out. That's a signof anger.
You do it whenever you talk about your pro career.
I think it's 'cause you're angryyou're not gonna have one.
Hey, earl, catch.
We've seen thatbefore, too.
You make that face almost every time youcatch a pass these days.
It's intensity.
No, actually, it's pain.
Doctors call itthe primal face of pain.
It's universal.
So what is it, earl?
Carpal tunnel? Arthritis?
Look, you know how many hoursI've spent shooting free throws?
I've busted my asson the court since I was nine.
I'm raising my brother,trying to pay the rent--
a big pro contractwas gonna change all that.
But you knowwho drafts someone with erosive artitis?
Nobody.
So you took the bribe.
Look, I could've gone proout of hhoolh sc,
but the athletic associationneeds its big tournament,
so I gotta spendmy last good year playing college ballfor nothing.
Look, mr. Taft's check was the only paydayI was gonna get.
You telling me you wouldn't havetaken that money?
V*******
I told the postcommander this matterwas settled.
Sergeant scott isvital to our efforts.
He's supposed tobe on a plane at 0100 hours.
I guess if the army's going to jeopardizethe safety of women, it should be doneon time, right?
Private metz was awolfor five months.
You're sure her allegationhas merit?
I'm telling youshe's not lying.
Sergeant scott.
I'm convening an article 32court-martial hearing next week.
Unpack your gear, son.
Major harris, my client would like toavoid any unnecessary delay.
He wants tplead out?
Our mission on the pakistaniborder is critical to our safetyhere at home
and I have a responsibilityto my platoon.
So, yes, I'm ready to plead guiltyto fraternization.
Fraternization?
Sergeant scott had aconsensual relationship wi private metz.
Becky was my girlfriend, sir.
This photo was taken duringthe period when my client was allegedly rapingprivate metz.
Do you have otherslike this?
We have several, major.
You still want to tellme she's not lying?
Isolate rebecca metz.
There's something not rightabout her smile.
She doesn't look happy.
Push in on her eyes.
Browup,pulled together.
She's scared.
Yeah, it's a masking smile.
She's smilingbut her eyes say she's afraid.
Very afraid.
- Will you pull up the masking smiles? - Yeah.
Miss south carolina can'tshow fear to the judges;
sarah palin has the sameproblem with the press.
Rebecca metzwith her platoon leader.
Right, she doesn't want to beinvolved with sergeant scott,
but he's her commander,she's got to do what he says.
He wants sex, right?
She feels forcedto give it to him.
She can't say no.
It's nonconsensual. It's rape.
Army psychologistshave reported several recent cases like this.
They're calling it"command rape."
It's comparable tosexual harassment, but much moreextreme.
When your boss makes advances, you're scaredof losing your job.
But if it's your platoon leader, you're scaredof losing your life.
Sergeant scottredeploys tonight, we have to get backto fort meade.
They won't believeit was rape.
Sergeant scott neverraised a hand.
It doesn't matter that he didn't attack youphysically.
You were coerced.
No one's going to see itthat way.
I never actually said no.
He was responsiblefor your safety. You had to feel threatened.
I was terrified.
Everyone knewif you crossed him, he'd make you drive lead.
- Drive lead? - Lead truck in the convoy.
It's the mostvulnerable to a roadside bomb.
I had a friend die that way.
I knew from the firsttime he came into my tent thatif I said no,
I'd beriving lead for a month.
So you just took it. You never said no?
Well, that's what you'lltell major harris.
He'll never believe me.
Sure he will. We'll put you on a polygraph.

Well, it's not true!
The polygraph says it is.
I don't carewhat the machine says. She's making it up.
I never made her drive lead!
- You never made her drive lead? - No!
I thought that duty rotates. You never made her drive lead?
I-I never made her drive lead! It's a lie!
