00:17:33,218 --> 00:17:37,264
And I thought it would be
more, you know, understood,

338
00:17:37,347 --> 00:17:39,975
if I took it to someone
who's a woman.

339
00:17:40,476 --> 00:17:44,646
But she was always, like,
trying to, like, downplay it.

340
00:17:46,273 --> 00:17:49,693
[Clark] I think KK was
the worst gatekeeper he ever had.

341
00:17:50,444 --> 00:17:55,074
Puff is the kind of person, um…
You know, the story of the two wolves?

342
00:17:55,157 --> 00:17:57,284
Which wolf wins? The wolf you feed?

343
00:17:58,368 --> 00:18:02,706
All of us were cognizant of the bad wolf,
but we're feeding the good wolf.

344
00:18:02,790 --> 00:18:06,752
The good wolf, in this case scenario,
it's a history breaker. It's a record ma--

Somebody that's gonna drive
our culture forward.

346
00:18:09,171 --> 00:18:11,840
KK, help me out,
because you in this too, KK.

with the PR side of it too,

[Clark] He didn't want to pay
the people closest to him,

about how you move.

He didn't want you
to ever feel too comfortable.

00:51:00,057 --> 00:51:01,725
[pensive music playing]

999
00:51:01,808 --> 00:51:06,646
It's funny because you would hear rumors
that something happened in court.

1000
00:51:06,730 --> 00:51:09,900
And we're like, "What?
That didn't happen. What do you mean?"

1001
00:51:09,983 --> 00:51:11,985
[crowd chattering indistinctly]

1002
00:51:12,569 --> 00:51:14,821
[man] The jurors
definitely started to feel

1003
00:51:14,905 --> 00:51:17,866
that there was a major shift in tone
and energy towards…

1004
00:51:17,949 --> 00:51:20,327
[woman on TV] Closing arguments,
they were saying things like,

1005
00:51:20,410 --> 00:51:22,662
this was a modern-day love story.

1006
00:51:22,746 --> 00:51:28,251
[woman] You didn't see any force, fraud,
or coercion between Cassie and Sean?

1007
00:51:28,752 --> 00:51:32,380
That was a very,
very interesting relationship.

1008
00:51:32,464 --> 00:51:37,594
Two people in love,
you know, they are like overly in love.

1009
00:51:37,677 --> 00:51:39,179
You cannot explain.

1010
00:51:39,679 --> 00:51:41,473
She wanted to be with him.

1011
00:51:41,556 --> 00:51:43,350
He took her for granted.

1012
00:51:43,433 --> 00:51:45,560
He never thought that she'd leave.

1013
00:51:45,644 --> 00:51:50,398
So it's like both hands clapping together.
You cannot clap with one hand.

1014
00:51:50,482 --> 00:51:53,401
Both hands, like this,
then you get the noise.

1015
00:51:54,027 --> 00:51:56,988
[woman] Do you believe
that Sean Combs is a violent person?

1016
00:51:57,489 --> 00:51:59,866
Based on that Intercontinental video,

1017
00:51:59,950 --> 00:52:01,118
he can be.

1018
00:52:01,618 --> 00:52:03,620
[unsettling music playing]

1019
00:52:06,164 --> 00:52:07,749
Unforgivable, honestly.

1020
00:52:10,168 --> 00:52:13,130
You can't beat that small girl like that,
the way he did.

1021
00:52:13,213 --> 00:52:15,257
[woman on TV]
The defense was smart to say,

1022
00:52:15,340 --> 00:52:18,385
"Hey, it's not against the law
to be a bad person…

1023
00:52:18,468 --> 00:52:19,970
[Juror 160] You can say he's terrible.

1024
00:52:20,053 --> 00:52:22,305
…My client is not being charged
with domestic violence."

1025
00:52:22,389 --> 00:52:23,223
[Juror 160] But…

1026
00:52:23,306 --> 00:52:26,017
[man on TV] He said he's not charged
with domestic violence.

1027
00:52:26,101 --> 00:52:27,853
Domestic violence
wasn't one of the charges.

1028
00:52:27,936 --> 00:52:29,771
[dramatic music playing]

1029
00:52:29,855 --> 00:52:31,690
[Juror 75] The very next day,
the following day,

1030
00:52:31,773 --> 00:52:33,733
if you see how
they're getting back together

1031
00:52:33,817 --> 00:52:37,737
and exchanging text messages
and like nothing ever happened.

1032
00:52:38,321 --> 00:52:40,824
So, now we are confused.
What's going on here?

1033
00:52:41,575 --> 00:52:42,993
He's beating her.

1034
00:52:43,076 --> 00:52:46,788
Next minute,
they're going on dinners and trips.

1035
00:52:46,872 --> 00:52:50,542
It's like going back and forth,
back and forth, back and forth.

1036
00:52:51,042 --> 00:52:54,963
[Agnifilo] Allegations of, "I was forced.
I had to stay," are nonsense.

1037
00:52:55,505 --> 00:52:58,216
She could have done
whatever she wanted to do.

1038
00:52:58,300 --> 00:53:00,510
That's my answer. I mean…

1039
00:53:00,594 --> 00:53:02,846
if you don't like something,
you completely get out.

1040
00:53:02,929 --> 00:53:04,097
You cannot have both ways.

1041
00:53:04,181 --> 00:53:07,184
Have the luxury
and then complain about it?

1042
00:53:07,267 --> 00:53:08,518
I don't think so.

1043
00:53:08,602 --> 00:53:10,061
[music turns pensive]

1044
00:53:10,145 --> 00:53:12,689
[Burrowes] He's turning a PR switch on

1045
00:53:13,190 --> 00:53:16,401
and turning it off,
turning another one on over here,

1046
00:53:16,484 --> 00:53:18,737
lighting a match for diversion over here,

1047
00:53:18,820 --> 00:53:22,741
and then you get people confused
about whether any of this is real,

1048
00:53:23,533 --> 00:53:25,785
or people are just
coming after him to attack him.

1049
00:53:27,204 --> 00:53:29,331
[man on TV]
Combs has really been eyeing jurors,

1050
00:53:29,414 --> 00:53:32,042
looking for their reaction
to all of the testimony.

1051
00:53:32,125 --> 00:53:35,670
[woman on TV] The judge threatened
to remove Combs from the courtroom.

1052
00:53:36,588 --> 00:53:40,508
[woman] At one point, the judge
did reprimand him for nodding at the jury.

1053
00:53:40,592 --> 00:53:43,511
-Did you ever make eye contact with Sean?
-[scoffs]

1054
00:53:44,512 --> 00:53:45,680
No, no, no.

1055
00:53:45,764 --> 00:53:48,391
No, we are not supposed to.

1056
00:53:48,475 --> 00:53:51,603
If they catch you doing eye contacts

1057
00:53:51,686 --> 00:53:55,899
or any other gestures, you'll be removed.

1058
00:53:55,982 --> 00:53:57,108
You'll be kicked out.

1059
00:53:58,526 --> 00:54:01,780
[Juror 160] There were times
where he would feel strongly, I guess,

1060
00:54:01,863 --> 00:54:04,241
for something and would nod.

1061
00:54:04,324 --> 00:54:06,326
But that's pretty much all it was.

1062
00:54:06,409 --> 00:54:11,706
It wasn't anything crazy or, like…
it wasn't like he was trying to sway us.

1063
00:54:11,790 --> 00:54:15,001
It was-- I think it was more
of just him as a person,

1064
00:54:15,085 --> 00:54:18,004
just reacting to whatever was being said

1065
00:54:18,088 --> 00:54:21,132
and forgetting where he was…
[laughs] …at the time.

1066
00:54:21,633 --> 00:54:25,553
It's funny because I remember that nod
watching Making of the Band.

1067
00:54:25,637 --> 00:54:27,264
Like, he would do that often.

1068
00:54:27,347 --> 00:54:29,099
I think that's just his go-to.

1069
00:54:29,182 --> 00:54:31,977
-Brooklyn!
-[unsettling pensive music playing]

1070
00:54:32,060 --> 00:54:36,648
If he felt it was something
that he wanted, I guess, approval on,

1071
00:54:36,731 --> 00:54:38,775
he would look towards us and be like…

1072
00:54:40,193 --> 00:54:41,444
you heard that?

1073
00:54:41,528 --> 00:54:44,948
Sometimes look over to us, like,
can you believe they said that?

1074
00:54:45,031 --> 00:54:47,617
In his facial expressions.

1075
00:54:47,701 --> 00:54:49,452
What the fuck you just say?

1076
00:54:50,954 --> 00:54:54,624
It was funny to see
'cause I had the same facial expressions

1077
00:54:54,708 --> 00:54:56,334
that he did at times

1078
00:54:56,418 --> 00:54:58,962
when it was something that,
um, someone said,

1079
00:54:59,045 --> 00:55:01,548
and it was, like,
"That didn't make much sense."

1080
00:55:01,631 --> 00:55:02,716
[woman] Like what?

1081
00:55:04,592 --> 00:55:06,177
[clicks tongue] Um…

1082
00:55:06,261 --> 00:55:09,848
I think the biggest one I remember

1083
00:55:09,931 --> 00:55:15,228
was when Capricorn Clark, um,

1084
00:55:15,312 --> 00:55:17,897
said something about being kidnapped.

1085
00:55:18,898 --> 00:55:22,360
[man on TV] Jurors heard the
emotional testimony from Capricorn Clark.

1086
00:55:22,444 --> 00:55:24,279
She alleges the music mogul kidnapped…

1087
00:55:24,362 --> 00:55:28,616
[woman] Clark described her relationship
with Combs as "complicated."

1088
00:55:28,700 --> 00:55:32,454
[Clark] Everything that I said in court
is mad real.

1089
00:55:32,537 --> 00:55:36,666
I said, I've been kidnapped with a gun.
My life has been threatened.

1090
00:55:36,750 --> 00:55:39,085
I've watched him beat up his girlfriend.

1091
00:55:39,169 --> 00:55:42,297
-We went to murder somebody.
-[unsettling pensive music continues]

1092
00:55:42,380 --> 00:55:48,178
But that jury, in there that day,
I knew they didn't believe anything.

1093
00:55:48,678 --> 00:55:52,349
I mean, uh, it's hard to believe.
It's hard to believe.

1094
00:55:52,432 --> 00:55:54,517
I think we kinda…

1095
00:55:55,310 --> 00:56:00,982
I think the whole juror--
The room felt that question mark pop up.

1096
00:56:01,483 --> 00:56:03,985
[Clark] I'm watching them
as they relate to him.

1097
00:56:04,486 --> 00:56:08,031
I think they all
kinda had a like for Puff.

1098
00:56:08,698 --> 00:56:12,035
Whenever they looked over at Puff,
it was like buddy-buddy.

1099
00:56:12,535 --> 00:56:13,953
They were star-struck.

1100
00:56:16,081 --> 00:56:17,707
I never looked at him once.

1101
00:56:18,792 --> 00:56:22,128
But every time I caught the glance
of him in the corner of my eye,

1102
00:56:22,629 --> 00:56:23,630
he would make me cry.

1103
00:56:23,713 --> 00:56:29,260
I cried a lot in there
because I was like, "This is a nightmare."

1104
00:56:29,344 --> 00:56:32,430
You look like
a fucking walking corpse, Puff.

1105
00:56:33,431 --> 00:56:35,683
I'm hearing some disgusting stuff,

1106
00:56:36,184 --> 00:56:39,896
and I have to re-traumatize myself
about what you took from me.

1107
00:56:39,979 --> 00:56:41,981
But what happened to you?

1108
00:56:42,065 --> 00:56:44,359
[unsettling pensive music continues]

1109
00:56:44,442 --> 00:56:50,156
[Juror 160] Capricorn Clark had a lot
of information that was very emotional.

1110
00:56:50,949 --> 00:56:55,954
She's remembering these events
more than a decade ago,

1111
00:56:56,538 --> 00:56:59,082
and with the emotion attached to it,

1112
00:56:59,165 --> 00:57:00,959
maybe the details are skewed.

1113
00:57:01,042 --> 00:57:04,629
But the problem is that
that just leaves room for doubt.

1114
00:57:06,923 --> 00:57:11,469
That's where her credibility
became an issue, I think.

1115
00:57:11,553 --> 00:57:13,555
[crowd chattering indistinctly]

1116
00:57:18,768 --> 00:57:20,895
They missed the nuances.

1117
00:57:20,979 --> 00:57:22,021
[music fades]

1118
00:57:22,105 --> 00:57:24,107
They get these highlights,

1119
00:57:24,607 --> 00:57:25,442
like,

1120
00:57:26,943 --> 00:57:30,280
he beat her for 15 minutes
and kicked her in the face.

1121
00:57:30,363 --> 00:57:33,575
Well, he had been beating women
since 1992.

1122
00:57:34,242 --> 00:57:36,828
And he was kicking them
when they were down.

1123
00:57:37,662 --> 00:57:40,248
-It's just not on film.
-[unsettling music playing]

1124
00:57:40,331 --> 00:57:44,085
It seems to be
"all of a sudden" with Sean.

1125
00:57:44,627 --> 00:57:45,879
And it isn't.

1126
00:57:47,297 --> 00:57:49,591
This has been a slow build.

1127
00:57:50,467 --> 00:57:53,386
Some of it happened before our eyes.

1128
00:57:54,596 --> 00:57:56,681
[woman on TV] The death toll
from last week's stampede

1129
00:57:56,764 --> 00:57:59,976
at a New York charity basketball game
has risen to nine.

1130
00:58:00,059 --> 00:58:01,728
[Combs] Whatever must be done,

1131
00:58:01,811 --> 00:58:05,773
must be done to ensure
that this never, ever, ever happens again.

1132
00:58:05,857 --> 00:58:07,275
And we blinked twice.

1133
00:58:07,859 --> 00:58:10,153
[man on TV] Puffy, as well as
the head of his security team,

1134
00:58:10,236 --> 00:58:12,113
are both charged
with second-degree assault

1135
00:58:12,197 --> 00:58:16,117
in connection with a beating attack
on music industry executive Steve Stoute.

1136
00:58:16,201 --> 00:58:19,704
[woman] Stoute and Combs have settled
out of court for a half a million dollars.

1137
00:58:19,787 --> 00:58:24,959
And we blinked again, and then we're like,
"Okay, I guess this is what's cool now."

1138
00:58:25,043 --> 00:58:28,963
[man 1 on TV] Sean "Puffy" Combs
was arrested here in New York today

1139
00:58:29,047 --> 00:58:32,175
on a gun possession charge
after leaving a nightclub

1140
00:58:32,258 --> 00:58:33,927
in which three people were shot.

1141
00:58:34,010 --> 00:58:37,972
[man 2] The D.A. failed to prove
that Combs was in any way responsible.

1142
00:58:38,056 --> 00:58:39,390
[Combs] I'm at, really, a loss.

1143
00:58:39,474 --> 00:58:40,892
I'm very emotional.

1144
00:58:40,975 --> 00:58:42,685
I'm just-- I feel blessed.

1145
00:58:42,769 --> 00:58:47,565
But you still have a victim road
that leads to Sean Combs.0

1146
00:58:48,525 --> 00:58:51,653
Some pretty explosive allegations tonight
against P. Diddy.

1147
00:58:51,736 --> 00:58:55,073
Fox 5's Julie Banderas
is at the courthouse in Lower Manhattan.

1148
00:58:55,156 --> 00:58:56,157
-Julie.
-Hey, Rosanna.

1149
00:58:56,241 --> 00:58:58,368
Well, all of us know
celebrities like P. Diddy

1150
00:58:58,451 --> 00:59:00,537
get dragged through the mud all the time.

1151
00:59:00,620 --> 00:59:03,456
But this latest allegation's so shocking.

1152
00:59:03,540 --> 00:59:06,668
Would you believe
they're accusing P. Diddy of murder?

1153
00:59:07,168 --> 00:59:09,629
[continues on TV] P. Diddy's been sued
a bunch of times before,

1154
00:59:09,712 --> 00:59:13,091
but by his best friend,
make that former friend, Kirk Burrowes?

1155
00:59:13,174 --> 00:59:15,760
He's even the godfather
of one of Combs's sons.

1156
00:59:15,843 --> 00:59:17,470
Yep, that's show business.

1157
00:59:17,554 --> 00:59:19,055
[poignant pensive music playing]

1158
00:59:19,138 --> 00:59:24,686
[Burrowes] I also am a victim
on multiple levels with Sean Combs.

1159
00:59:26,104 --> 00:59:29,440
I think out of everybody
