    Ep. 8 | The Unusual Suspect

    Kevin Spacey always said he wanted to clear his name in court, but how would this intensely private man perform under pressure? He had waited five years for the opportunity to tell his side of the story. Now, as he takes the stand, he has to open up like never before. Spacey reveals how an abusive upbringing by a neo-Nazi father started a lifetime of keeping his personal life private, and unequivocally denies Anthony Rapps allegations.

    Ep. 7 | Rapp Under Pressure

    The trial continues with Anthony Rapp’s cross-examination. More and more holes appear in his story. The jury is being asked to try and square his faulty memory with often contradictory immutable facts. Anthony Rapp says “his truth”... ”his memory” is what the jury should focus on, regardless of the facts.  And what about the experts? Anthony Rapps’s psychiatrist says her testing proves all his problems stem from the alleged assault by Kevin Spacey. But Kevin Spacey's experts come to a very different conclusion. And what did Anthony Rapp really tell the Buzzfeed News journalist when the story was initially reported? Is he now changing that story?

    Ep. 6 | Rapp Takes the Stand

    After the opening statement of Rapp v. Spacey, the trial started with a new bombshell. There were no new celebrity witnesses, but there were new allegations, allegations that could sway the jury in favor of Rapp. Kevin Spacey is accused by another man of assaulting him in the early 80s. However, Kevin Spacey’s packrat tendency might just provide hard evidence of another false or mistaken claim.  Then Anthony Rapp himself is called to the witness stand. It is his chance, in court and under oath, to confront the man who he says sexually assaulted him 30 years ago when he was just fourteen. Rapp recounts his career and what it was like working as a child in an industry full of adults. He explains in detail meeting Spacey, that night at The Limelight and his experience at Spacey’s apartment just a few days later. But has his story changed from his initial Buzzfeed interview? And how will he explain the bedroom that wasn't there?

    Ep. 5 | The Trial Begins

    The #MeToo movement made it so that victims would automatically have overwhelming public support. But even with public sympathy on their side, Anthony Rapp’s own lawyers had to deal with the fact that many of his memories about Kevin Spacey could not have physically happened. Anthony Rapps’s memory was wrong about so many things his lawyers did the only thing they could: appeal to the jury’s sympathy. But as the trial went on Spacey’s lawyers confronted him with objective facts, chipping away at “his truth” with every question. Was Rapp telling the truth or was he, as Spacey's lawyers argued, a troubled youth who harbored extreme resentment and jealousy against the actor? Listen as we reveal the truth about the Trial of Kevin Spacey using actual court transcripts.

    Ep. 4 | The Collaboration

    As Anthony Rapp’s court case against Kevin Spacey kicks off, Spacey’s lawyers probe the Buzzfeed News article that broke the story. They knew there were major issues with the details. It seemed that Buzzfeed News reporter Adam Vary seemed to just report what Rapp told him – without fact-checking or even basic Google searches that would have told a different tale. But what else went on behind the scenes before the bombshell story was published? Was there collusion to obscure the truth? Are we talking about unethical journalism? Listen to the private emails and texts between Journalist Adam Vary and Anthony Rapp, who had been friends for 20 years. Adam Vary fought to keep the communications private, but Anthony Rapp was forced to hand them over through discovery. Find out why a federal judge said the documents raise “serious questions about the reliability of Vary's reporting and his independence from Rapp”. Listen to Adam Vary’s deposition as he is asked some very uncomfortable questions. And discover why an extraordinarily attractive man may hold the key to a 30-year-old mystery.

She said there was a video of the assault and real-time text messages. But as was to become a familiar pattern the evidence was not as strong as first appeared. What was with the strange way the case became public and where was the victim’s phone that had mysteriously disappeared? Suddenly the case was starting to look very different. And what about Anthony Rapp’s allegations? Did a mysterious dream really allow Spacey to fight back? And why was the key to this 30-year-old mystery hidden in an ugly Baltimore storage locker?

    Ep. 2 | The Apology

    Kevin Spacey's life changed forever when he received an email from a journalist in October 2017. The email alleged he sexually abused a 14-year-old fellow actor back in 1986. The allegations were strangely vague and confusing and immediately caused panic among Spacey's advisors. This was the height of the #MeToo era - they warned him.  It was no longer OK to deny allegations. You had to respect the victim. Spacey issued a statement to try and satisfy everyone and immediately regretted it. The blowback destroyed his reputation and career. But then salvation comes from an unlikely source. Could Kevin Spacey be saved by a dream?
