Hence the Name, Pigs

The details are pretty disgusting and you can feel free to google ‘em on up. I’m not rehashing it here, just sharing the single most amazing detail. It’s the part of the movie that suddenly and accidentally shows way too much and cuts way too deep. The mask slips and Big Pathology gets simple honest. This particular virus script will probably seem all too familiar to a lot of readers. (Sorry to get all serious on a random Tuesday, too.)

His name is Kenneth Moreno, and he is NYPD. He was caught on video in uniform. This conversation was recorded via hidden mic onto cassette tape, standing on a sidewalk in Manhattan, in the middle of the day. What follows is verbatim transcription from the public evidence:

Woman: I woke up and you guys were taking advantage of me.

Moreno: Nobody took advantage of you.

Woman: You were having sex with me. I was violated.

Moreno: No you weren’t — nothing happened.

Woman: You’re lying.

Moreno: OK. It turned from us trying to help you to getting really crazy.

Moreno: What do you remember?

Woman: I remember getting up the stairs and waking up on the bathroom floor. The next thing I know, I’m in my bed, you’re taking off my clothes and having sex with me.

Moreno: OK

Woman: OK?

Moreno: It wasn’t done intentionally. I didn’t mean to hurt you. I just got caught up. I’m sorry.

Woman: I need to know if I’m OK. Did you wear a condom — yes or no?

Moreno: Yes, I did. You don’t have to worry about any diseases or getting pregnant.

Woman: Was it only you?

Moreno: It was only me.

Moreno: If you stop drinking, I’ll be your boyfriend. I’m not a bad man. I’m a good friend to have.
