[Brenner and Sunhill talk about their suspect list growing]
Brenner: How does it feel to have our suspect list multiply exponentially?
Sunhill: Well, at least we know who the guys were on the tapes.
Brenner: Yeah. A bunch of creeps willing to risk it all for a piece of patch.
Sunhill: A piece of patch?
Brenner: Sorry, darling. I just get back on the base, and it drudges up all my old alpha male behavior.

[Brenner and Sunhill learn the story of what happened to Elisabeth Campbell at West Point]
Col. Donald Slesinger: [Colonel Slesinger recalls Campbell's sophomore night] At the end of her sophomore year, there was a big night exercise. Must've been thousands involved. Lizzie got separated from her group. Found herself with about half a dozen men. A very dark night. Not only were the men unknown to her... but they were also wearing camouflage. They raped her almost to death. Raped her all night long. Taking turns. Stripped her... spread-eagled her... nailed her to the Earth with tent pegs. Just had a whale of a time. Threatened to kill her if she talked.
Sunhill: Tied her underwear around her throat?
Col. Donald Slesinger: Yes. Lizzie was hospitalized, treated for venereal disease, treated for pregnancy. By the time I got to her, she had gone way inside. Never let me get close.
