That's the new story.

Travis, did anyone use

the word "rape"?

You said you were passed out.

I was.

Isn't it possible that

he went ahead anyway?

Well, I would know, wouldn't I?

If that happened, wouldn't I know?

You said you were drinking.

I saw him come down.

His friends were there.

They asked him if he got laid

and he was bragging to them.

I'm not sure why you're upset?

This is an ugly turn, Derrick.

You loved the three-way.

How's this worse?

Stop it!

I love it when you get "Pilgrimatic. "

Not everybody's saying it.

Some people still believe

the old rumor.

You know, the multiple.

It'll probably change in a day or so.

It's not something you gotta

be so worried about.

Jones.

It's not true. It's just words.

So how bad can that be?

We were kissing...

...and I had been drinking,

so I wasn't feeling great.

He pushed me onto the bed and...

...I told him to stop,

and he kept going.

I'm sorry, but we're going

to need to be more specific.

What exactly did he do after

you told him to stop?

Well...

...he put his hands under my skirt...

...and he was pulling at my panties,

trying to take them off.

And...

...I think he raped me.

You think he raped you?

I passed out. I don't know

what happened afterwards...

...but he was bragging about it.

He told....

- Everybody knows he did it.

- How do they know?

I know.

Okay?

I know he did it.

Hey, you ready?

Why do the cops need

Rick and Bruce?

- Naomi's pressing charges against Beau.

- Charges?

He raped her while she was passed out.

You told me.

That's not what I said.

I heard him bragging about it

and so did Leslie.

A**hole. He should be in jail

for what he did.

I didn't do it.

Your friends say you did.

They weren't there, were they?

Listen, I admit that when I came

downstairs, Bill asked me.

It was like, "Did you or didn't you?"

I let him think what he wanted to.

What did happen?

We were drinking. We were making out,

and then she passed out, so I left.

You don't recall her saying no?

Protesting? Trying to push you away?

Yes.

I remember some of that, but....

- She was saying no, but...

- But what?

But she didn't mean it.

I didn't do it!

Travis, come look at this.

Zoom in on that.

Oh, yeah. He's got her by the wrist.

You guys heard what's happening?

We have to come clean.

Come clean?

Like Murder, She Wrote.

This is a real cop, Derrick.

Her investigation's not a joke.

Why didn't she talk to you?

You're the only one who saw anything.

Well, that's interesting.

Could they arrest somebody...

...because what people believe is true

is actually more real than the truth?

That's real interesting, Travis.

What a fascinating idea.

You need to relax a little bit
