[Colonel Murillo, Commandant of the Pennsylvania Military Institute, has been called to the Philadelphia PD's offices for questioning.]
Thank you for coming in, Mr. Murillo.
It's Colonel Murillo. I think I've earned that.
You can have a seat.
You have a problem with Cadet Butler enrolling at PMI, Colonel?
What's this all about? [Looks at Stillman] Lieutenant?
I believe the detective asked you a question.
What I have a problem with is irrelevant in view of what the courts have decided, now isn't it?
It isn't when you allow a student to be assaulted on campus.
That's a bit presumptuous. Am I on the stand here?
You knew Kate was attacked; you should have stopped it from going further.
I knew no such thing.
We have a cadet who witnessed it. Told you what he saw.
What Cadet Keith Henderson told me was hearsay: I chose to go directly to the horse's mouth.
[A flashback scene occurs with Kate Butler reporting to COL Murillo's office; when asked if she was assaulted by an upperclassman in the barracks the previous night, she denies it, despite Murillo reminding her of the Honor Code, which forbids a cadet from lying.]
So that's it? You just let her go?
What the hell would you have me do? The Honor Code is the backbone of the Institute. If she says it didn't happen, it didn't.
She was trying to suck it up. To fit in with the male cadets.
Well, then. She made her choice, didn't she?
