Partner Track Episode 15
Discovery
Ingrid and Nick take April to a nearby hospital to do a rape examination. April is still crying and in a state of shock.
Doctor: What has happened to you…. Can you tell me ?
April crying: Ingrid please help me… I didn't deserve this.
Doctor: Are you Ingrid?… Do you know what happened?
Ingrid: I don't know the specifics…. April is a fellow colleague of my at Parsons Valentine Law offices…. Today was my wedding day and I was surprised when I ran into April in the Elevator of the Waldorf Astoria… She was incoherent and her dress was in disarray… She hasn't been able to stop crying…. She said that she was violated everywhere and that she didn't deserve this.
Doctor: You're assuming she was sexually assaulted?
Ingrid: I'm a lawyer….. so I have to chose my words carefully….. since she also named the person and persons that did this to her.
Doctor: So there is more than one party involved….. April….. I understand you've been through a traumatic experience…. I will try to make you as comfortable as possible….. but I need to examine you.
April: Ingrid no….. I don't want another man to touch me.
Doctor: I understand… Will you let a female doctor examine you?… we need to know how badly you've been hurt
The female doctor arrives: April… I'm Dr McKenzie… Are you comfortable with letting me examine you?…. I will be as gentle as I can… I know that you're hurting and I will make it as quick as I possibly can…. I first need to take some pictures of you before I do a physical exam. Are you Ok with that?
April: Ingrid stay with me
Dr Mckenzie: How are you related…..she has your trust.
Ingrid: We are colleagues… we are both lawyers.
Dr McKenzie: I will try to preserve as much evidence as I can ….. if she should decide to take legal actions…. Many women don't because the process can become as violating as the assault.
Dr Mckenzie takes swabs of saliva from her mouth….. In the vaginal exam she takes swabs to identify any semen residue… she does the same in her anal cavity. It's evident that April was a victim of very ruff sex…. She takes pictures of her vagina and buttocks that were redden and bruised.
Dr Mckenzie: Did you bring her a change of cloths.
Ingrid: Actually no… we came here …so like you said … to preserve what evidence possible.
Dr McKenzie: I'll have some hospital scrubs brought in… I would advise that she isn't left alone…. Her mental state is in turmoil….. do you know her family?
Ingrid: I'll keep her with us….. until she feels comfortable .
Dr McKenzie: You must be a good friend….. I understand that this is your wedding day…. You must have a very understanding husband.
Ingrid: He is and I'm very lucky
Dr McKenzie: I will write up a full report of my examination and have it available for Miss Woo and the police if she decides to press charges… Both of you being lawyers may know that the laws in New York State can be tricky when it comes to sexual assault…. You did the right thing in bringing her here for examination …. Most woman that have experienced such an assault their first inclination is to wash , douche and throw away their clothing, but we've now saved that… However…..not calling the police initially so that the crime scene could be examined may cause some problems.
Ingrid: I'm an Merger and Acquistions Lawyer…. But I will do research on what we need to do next…. April is right… she didn't deserve this kind of treatment especially from colleagues.
Dr McKenzie: You know who may have done this?
Ingrid: Yes, Lawyers in our firm….. I almost forgot…April mentioned that she only had one drink…. Could something have been put in her drink ….. so they could do this to her?
Dr McKenzie: I'll put a special note to have the Lab look for any usual drugs in her system …. Thank you for remembering.
Nick: How did it go?…. Do they think it was rape?
Ingrid: I'm sorry our wedding night turned into this… I wanted it to be so special especially after the wedding you gave me….. I promise I'll make it up to you…. I've got one more surprise…. I don't know April that well but the Doctor said she can't be left alone right now… is it ok if she stays with us until I can find her family… I feel so bad for her.
Nick: We've got plenty of room… it's your house as much as mine.
Ingrid: They are helping her get dressed with hospital scrubs... She gives Nick a very passionate kiss: You are the best husband ever... maybe we still can have a quickie later.
When they arrive at the penthouse….. a very quiet and somber April ….. doesn't know what to do next.
Ingrid: April….. you're safe now…Do you want to take a shower…. It will make you feel better.
April stares at Ingrid listlessly…. Ingrid takes her by the hand and brings her into the shower and helps her remove her scrubs….. Ingrid turns on the water making it warm and comfortable.
Ingrid: Wash yourself ….. make this night go away…. You did nothing wrong …April…. I promise you I will do everything I can to make those animals pay for what they did to you.
As the warm water touches April's body she franticly begins scrubbing herself… she scrubs every part of her body that was violated… Ingrid brings her a fresh pair of Pajamas and a robe… for her to wear.
Ingrid: Are you hungry…. Nick made us a little snack since none of us got to eat… You don't have to be afraid of Nick… he is one of the good guys.
Nick: I made us three bowls of Ramen…. Quick and easy ….. April….. do you like Ramen?
Ingrid: What asian girl doesn't like Ramen… Am I right April…. April gives a smile for the first time that night.
Nick: I was talking to the male doctor… and he told me something interesting…. If you want to proceed in going after those animals, the police need to inspect the crime scene…..The Waldorf will make that suite spotless before any police can get to it.
Ingrid: What can we do now…. April is in no stait to talk to the police now
Nick: Let me call the hotel general manager…. Laren Equity spends a lot of money at the Waldorf… it's worth a try.
Nick makes the call
Nick: Francios….. This is Nick Laren…..sorry for calling you so late, but I have an urgent matter to talk with you.
Francios: Was there any problem with the Wedding planning?
Nick: No nothing like that….. the wedding was perfect… my wife and guests were all pleased…. However, something happened in one of your luxury suits that you aren't aware of and you won't want it to be revealed.
Francios: What happened….. it must be something very serious for you to call me now.
Nick: A young woman was brutally raped… She is a colleague of my wife… we took her to the hospital to be treated but failed to notify the police to investigate the suite. If the police arrive… the Post will have it on Page 6….. can you seal the suite until I get a forensic team to seal all possible items related to the crime…. I will pay for any possible expense.
Francios: I appreciate that you called me… Which suite is it and I will have it sealed until further notice… It's better I do it and not the police.
Nick: It's the suit booked by Dan Fallon of Parsons Valentine… Do you know of a forensic team that you can trust?
Francios: I will take care of it… thank you for thinking of the Waldorf's excellent reputation.
Francios instructs the forensic team leader to do a thorough job in that the Waldorf's reputation cannot be tarnished. Photos of how the suite was left and each item tagged and identified identified. Fingerprints were removed off of the glasses and bottles….. semen and blood residues were identified on the bed sheets and some on the couches. Since date rapes have become the norm of the wealthy….. the glasses with liquor or other forms of liquid were placed in sterile containers to see if any drugs were used.
After the Forensic team finishes Francios calls Nick
Francios: The team has completed the search…. It will pass any police inspection… I'm going to reopen the suite and put it back into service.
Nick: Thank you Francios …. Send me the bill to my office… It's been a pleasure working with you.
Francios: It's always a pleasure to service clients like yourself… anything else I can help you please let me know.
Rachel calls Ingrid
Rachel: Did you see that Mrs Ingrid Laren is now on Page 6 again… Did you have the night you thought you would have?
Ingrid: If you mean spending my honeymoon night at the hospital taking care of April Woo that was brutally raped by Dan Fallon and his lapdogs…. That kind of night.
Rachel: Now way….. That sounds like a story line from a horror movie… What happened?
Ingrid goes over the details and explains how April is staying with them for the time being until she feels more comfortable.
Rachel: That explains how those three were rather quiet this morning…. What's going to happen next?
Ingrid : I'm going to talk today with April to see how she wants to proceed…. She's been devastated… they did everything to her. ….. Don't say anything to anyone….. Those animals need to think they got away with it.
Rachel: This place is becoming an animal farm… I don't know how much longer I want to remain here… Ingrid…. Was being partner in Parsons Valentine Hunt worth the abuse of you, now April and many other girls worth it?
Ingrid: Nick has asked me if I wanted to keep doing it….. This past year has made me realize that it's not.
Rachel: My playwriting classes are becoming more interesting….. I'm happier doing that than being here.
Ingrid: I know I want to leave my mark of this zoo…. Keep me posted …. I'll let you know what's coming
Ingrid and April go to the police station and file a complaint against Dan Fallon, Hunter Reed and Todd Ames for sexual assault. Detectives Wilson and Barnes are assigned the case. … They review the hospital records of Dr McKenzie and take custody of the clothing that April wore at the time of the attack.
Francios of the Waldorf provided the hotel surveillance footage of who went into that suite and who came out. The Detectives also went over the forensic evidence that was sealed giving them probable cause to ask for an arrest warrant.
Detectives Wilson and Barnes ask to see the Marty Adler
Detective Wilson: Mr Adler….. I'm Dectective Wilson and this is My Partner Detective Barnes… A complainant was registered by one of your employees April Woo against three of your other employees Dan Fallon, Hunter Reed and Todd Ames for Sexual Assault…..After reviewing the evidence…. We have probable cause to arrest them….. we don't want to disrupt your work place…. Can you call these employees.
Marty: What the fuck is going on here… this is the first I've heard of this… Roberta get Fallon ,Reed and Ames in here immediately also get Woo
Roberta: Fallon , Reed and Ames are on their way… April Woo has been on sick leave.
Fallon, Reed and Ames hunter Marty's office all smiles until they see the fire in his eyes
Marty: This is Detectives Wilson and Barnes
Detective Wilson: Are you Dan Fall, Hunter Reed and Todd Ames?
Fallon: what's this about?
Dective Barnes: We need the three of you to come down to the station… to answer some questions.
Fallon: Why
Detective Wilson: A sexual assault complaint has been filed against the three of you.
Fallon: What….. who?
Reed and Ames clearly display the fear in their eyes and start having flashbacks of that night….. Dawn and Alexis the paid escorts put on a little show of girl on girl action letting the two get aroused . Fallon spent his time getting April to stay.
Ames: They were paid hookers…. How can they say it was rape?
Fallon: Shut up…. Who is accusing us of rape?
Marty: What did you numb nuts do….. Did you do this with the clients?
Fallon, Reed and Ames are escorted out passing Ingrid's office where she flashes a huge smile .
Marty calls the major partners along with General Council Ellen Chu Sanderson
Marty: We may have a potential PR problem…. Three of our lawyers have been taken in for questioning on sexual assault. Problem is one of our female minority lawyers is filing the complaint.
Parsons: Marty…. We made you manager to make money and not put us in the spotlight.
Valentine: You better clear this up… if they are guilty send them packing.
Hunt: Ellen… Do you know this April Woo girl?….. see what she is looking for… maybe throw some money at her to go away.
Sanderson: Let's get all the facts first…. Marty… these are your boys…. Are they that stupid to have gang raped one of our own? You made Fallon and Reed partners last year….. Is this how they repay you?
Parsons: Ellen's got a point you made them you own them….. either they are completely innocent or they are out of here…. That includes you Marty.
Marty: I will take care of it.
At the Police Station
Detective Wilson: From what we saw at the office Fallon appears to be the one in charge, Reed and Ames are followers…..Ames looks like the weaker link…. Let's start with him first
Detectives Barnes: Soon as you said Sexual Assault those two quickly got scared….. Am I the bad cop or are you?
Detective Wilson: You got that mean look… you're the bad cop?
Todd Ames is brought into the interrogation room.
Detective Wilson: we've done a background check…. You haven't been in any trouble before…. We know you like the girls… your credit card account shows you like going to the strip clubs… but that's no crime….. Tell us what happened that night? The more honest you are the easier it will be.
Detective Barnes: How many poor bastards kept their mouths shut and now they have the tag of sexual pervert….. they lose their jobs…. Every time there's a sex crime they are the first ones to be picked up…. Everyone in their neighbor hood is going to know that they're a sexual deviant….. keep your mouth shut …. I'm sure your buddies will sell you down the tubes.
Detective Wilson: If you help us …. I'll help you so tell me what happened that night?
Detectives Barnes: We have semen residue from three guys
Detective Wilson : What happened and why did it happen?
Todd Ames: Fallon wanted some good looking call girls so that we could close a deal with a Chinese account… He thought that All Chinese Business men like to be entertained that way… He had April Woo one of our lawyers that could speak Chinese be our translator and also show that our company was inclusive. I recruited Dawn and Alexis because I thought they were hot and who knows they would thank me later.
Detective Barnes: So it was Fallons idea to get these executives laid…. Did he think April Woo would do the same?
Todd Ames: Nobody knows what Fallon thinks…. he's had this obsession with one of our other asian lawyers Ingrid Yun…. He couldn't understand how she got white guys to fall for her…. She just married billionaire Nick Laren…. Fallon went nuts at the thought of that….. he always say what's so special with asian pussy.
Detective Wilson: How was Miss Woo convinced to even put herself into the position?
Todd Ames: Once the Chinese executives were offended and left…. Fallon said that since everything was paid for why let it go to waste…. He asked the girls if they were ready to earn their money… which they did…. April wanted to leave since she wasn't going to do anything these girls were doing….. but then she changed….. she started letting Fallon put his hand up her skirt… groping her boobs … she was a completely different person.
Detective Barnes: Are you saying she consented to let you three have her?
Todd Ames: She didn't say anything
Detective Wilson: Look at these pictures … who is responsible for them?
Todd Ames: Once she stop saying don't do this…. Fallon started fucking her ….. he stuck his dick in her mouth and then her ass so he could hear her squeal… When he was done he told us she isn't done with her orgasm so finish the job so he could watch as Dawn and Alexis sucked on his dick. This was right out of a Japanese porn movie.
Detective Barnes: What happened next?
Todd Ames: She ran to the bathroom and locked herself in…. We went to Fallons place … he paid Dawn and Alexis more money and they let us fuck them.
Hunter Reed almost verified Ames recollection, but Fallon refused
Fallon: I didn't rape anyone…. Dawn and Alexis were paid escorts…. April turned out to be a sex freak… she couldn't get enough…. I can prove it.
Detective Wilson: You can prove it… how?
Fallon: I wanted to protect myself and the firm just in case something went wrong with the clients.
Detective Barnes: so you video taped them without anyone's concent.
Fallon: Fine you have me on that one.
Detective Wilson: where is this video…. We need to enter it into evidence.
Fallon: that video is staying with me…. I'll need it if this goes to trial.
