Harle I called in a favor from a friend at interpol.

Bke: I'ing to like this am I?

Harle this is a school record from ben's teacher's second sool,his me in england. Turnout she couldn't hold down a job no matter how well she was liked. Ohthe problem may be that sh liked a little too well.And this time the scho's not doing anything to cover it up.

Blake: What did she do?

Marina:T you said tt it would be like your first time, you dn't mn th...

ben: No. No, this would have been the first time it was right. You ow, the firstime the s real love inlved. Fit timet was pure. Anthat's howst times ould be. It shoulbe special. A: Your first time wa't special?

Ben: No.

>>Arle 13 year-o boy stepped forward to accuse s acher.

Blake: She moleed him. Oh, my god.

Ben: I was so good. And I went away o school so my dad could concentrate on m sister. Aneven thoh I was mesick i nesaid anything. I did everything right. But still...

Marina: Something hapned.

Ben: There are bad people out there. Pele w want to tear other people down and make them feel like they're nothing, just because theyan.

>>Arley: He was only the first boy to step forward. After that there was more than a dozen. Of course jaarley claims that the acts were csensual. Like she was providi a servicehelping bring them into maood.

Ross:Nd this wt sh did aten'soo and th's whyhe was dised, rig? Ake, why areou crying book?

Blake: I got this from holly. This is the year bookfrom ben's hool, the year that left, right.

Marina:O maerhat, b, you're n nothing.

Ben: I would spehe re of myife feeling ke that if it weren't for you.

Mina: You givme tooh credit. I'm so sorry.

> Enothat you kno now that youan see eing, yoill want tlp me.You're that od. At pure. How could anyone hurt someone ke that? Ho

>>Lake: Ben was thed and mrs. Farley was his sponsor. She was a monster. A sexual predatoand ben wa her .

Hley: Blake, I'm sorr

Blake: Yeah, I am too. You know couple of years a i was going to write something serious about a victim of sexual abuse.

Ross: But you couldn't do it. Would find herrying while she wadoing research.

Bke: Yeah, well, I ed i had recognized theigns.

>>Oss: Blake, don't do that to yourself.

>>Lake: If ben we viized at such ely age that would ha changed his life forever.

Marina: You know, we could... we could talk some more if you nt. Ben,hink that... I think that you nd to talk. N?

Ben: I want everything to perfect for you.

Ross: When he came back to springfield, ben was just diffent. He was very quiet, removed.

Blake: The ctims tend to thdraw fm thrld. Most lely from the opposite sex. Every ca idiffent.

Harley: What about be case?Blake: I cat believe that this happening. Arle wl, it is, blake. And we've got to fd ben before he hts marina.

Bke: The abe itself is not about sex, iabout ro

leaves the viim feeling helpless and they... they carry around all this hurt andha inside of them if they don't get help. Or they're going to put that hurtomewhere else. Worst case, they're going put it on to somebody else.

Ben: Leme hyou withthat. You don't need those anyre.

>>Ley: So ben could be leading a seemingly normal life until something triggered him.

Blake: S. The feeling of being out of control, of being thre tened.

Harley: Like losingll of his money, having to get a job wherhe'subct to whof women, like eden and mona. Tellg hiwhen, wh how. An tt could do it. Th could trigger all those old feelings of humiliatiod she.

Ros hate to say this, but everything is falling into place.

>>La: I know. Being under ntrol of woman, anlder woman would definely devastate him. On the other hand he woulde drawn to someone innocent...

Harle le mana.

Bla: I don't think weave to worry about ben hurting marina. Arley: W? Becae he loves her? Lakee mana reprents the kind of life uld ha had had he not been victized. At this point she may be the only person he could trust.

Harley: What ppens whenen looks in marina's eyes and sees fear instead of that trus what happens then?

Jeffrey: Well, ben readno fool. E trais gone cold.

Frank: Well, then we'll find a new one. Anything.

Josh: Did you tl shayne?
