1. Amber Smiling Girl. Amber is the victim at the beginning of the second episode, a computer student. She showed extraordinary courage and wisdom when she was violated. In order to avoid further harm, such as being murdered, she strives to communicate with criminals and observes and memorizes all possible information. Important information she observed was: 1. Birthmark on left leg. 2. Can speak four languages and have traveled to different parts of the world. 3. The missing hair tie proves that the criminal has been planning for a long time. 4. Speculation is not the first time a crime has been committed. It's hard to imagine her being a victim when she first appears, as she displays a very comfortable politeness and smile and answers questions logically. However, behind her reluctance to maintain a smile, she suffered more than just physical injuries. Her boyfriend left, she really wanted to be with her friends, she went to bed, she wanted to get rid of the hurt, and she went to find religious comfort. All this seemed very real and powerless. For a long time she had to fight against the nightmare of that night and the kind of lost life it brought. Fortunately, when she heard that the rapist betrayed 327 years, she sat in the last row of the courtroom and smiled again, and this time the smile was no longer reluctant.
Two, Lily. This girl is a bit of a tiger. She is the expressor of anger among all the victims. It's not so much that she was always yelling at the two female police officers, she was fighting the system of inaction, and when at last she slapped that knife at the police station, as if for those who were more inclined to question the victim than The detective who provided help gave him a slap in the face. The only thing that comforts me is that she has a supportive mother who is willing to stand up for her and give her religious freedom, not an adult who asks her to self-reflect or self-digest.
Three, grandma. The inhuman criminals even attacked the grandmother. The granny's interrogation at the trial was impressive, to the effect that the victim always wondered why it was me, and it must be what I did that caught the criminal's attention. Yeah, the victim lives in introspective fear while the victimizer gets away with it. This society is always very strict with the victims of sexual assault cases. If she is a perfect victim and can get people's empathy, if she has some "stains", she may be "mentally raped" by the public again. ".
4. When Karen appeared on the stage, she was swaying, her words were gentle and restrained, and I was deeply attracted at once. She has two clear strengths: hard work and empathy. In fact, the two are one and the same, because much of her motivation for her work comes from her ability to empathize with her victims. Work is no longer work but is endowed with the "ordinary" ability to save the world. So when she first appeared on the scene, there was a detail that when the other police couldn't find the victim, she saw Amber standing blankly under the tree at a glance. The questioning of Amber was carried out in an extremely gentle way, with full respect for Lily's religion, and a certain psychological construction was given to the victim in advance when sensitive information and uncomfortable examinations were involved. Because she knew very well that the victims were not the machines for revealing their testimony, and an unspeakable storm was blowing in their hearts, and any inappropriate words and violent evidence collection would bring secondary harm.
5. Grace seems to be a little difficult to get along with. Those who show enough ability and enthusiasm have the opportunity to work with her, otherwise they will only get her air treatment. It's not her style to be complacent about a little progress, and she doesn't like to take credit when victory is in sight, turning around and saying "I have 30 other cases to deal with, and these victims can only count on me." But her arrogance has never been given to the victim, and this is the watershed between the seemingly cold good cop and the superficially kind bad cop. The cop Maira encountered was arrogant, and a testimony was coldly questioned several times. The cop Lily encountered was also arrogant, "If I hadn't seen her covered in injuries, I wouldn't have bothered to care about her."
6. Asian women at the Mia Police Department. Although she appeared for a very short time, she brought a lot of dry goods to the investigation, and obtained the clue of Lily with her open mind and contacts. Obtained a list of veterans, bought a pair of honeycomb running gloves and a pair of sneakers exactly like the perpetrator.
Sixth, Maria. I want to put it on the last one. Compared to other victims, Maria is a vulnerable group of vulnerable groups. She didn't stand firm for her mother, she didn't meet police like karen and grace, her childhood misery was like a discriminatory stigma on her, she was "supposed" to be someone who wanted attention and made up stories because of it . It was not only the rapist who pushed her into the abyss, but also the inaction police and hypocritical bystanders. Many people can't understand that Maria thinks she is hypocritical, but when her life is like drowning, when the price of "face" is too high, instinctive escape is her only choice. If the post-traumatic recovery of the disaster cannot be handled well, the psychological shadow of malice to society will be enough to affect people's life. We always blame the victims, why do you speculate with such malice towards people, why there are so many negative energies, why you can't cheer up, maybe the answer is just that we haven't really helped. Fortunately, karen and grace brought the murderer to justice, and Maria got the compensation she deserved. In the end, Maria finally showed a smile, and the Wrangler running on the long road hinted that she could regain hope in life.
Finally, I want to say that the most important reason I like this miniseries is that it is sincere and true enough.
