JAKE AND CAROLINE VIDEO SCRIPT
TEEN DATING VIOLENCE
Jake: So anyway things besides all this John stuff are going pretty awesome…and we usually hang out together every Friday night when I get out of work…So this past Friday I got out of work early and figured we’d spend the rest of the night together…. Maybe grab a bite to eat or catch a movie…So I called her at 5 o’clock—no Caroline. 6, 7, 8—still no Caroline. 9, 10—10 freakin’ thirty roles around and I’m like “Caroline where the hell have you been?!”.
Caroline: I went out with my sister…. I don’t need to get permission from you.
Jake: Caroline, I didn’t say you needed to get permission, but I was worried sick about you…. I mean how am I supposed to know if you’re laying

Caroline: ‘cause we’re friends
Jake: You know how that makes me feel!
Caroline: How do you think it made me feel to have my boyfriend call me ugly and fat in front of all my friends?
Jake: Come on, Caroline, you know I didn’t mean all that stuff…You can’t break up with me over this.
Caroline: Yes I can, and I am. You can’t treat me like this!
Jake: I didn’t treat you like anything.
Caroline: Yeah, you treated me like dirt.
Jake: I know I can’t treat you like that but you’ve got to know I didn’t mean any of that stuff…I just freaked out on the situation, not at you…. I was drunk, and I walked in and saw the two of you together and I totally flipped out.
Caroline: I know, but we we’re just talking.
Jake: I know that Caroline, but you need to let me explain. I have had a rough week – I’ve been filling out college applications, trying to figure out how I can afford a car and school is buggin’ me. I didn’t mean any of the stuff that I said, I just snapped. I love you and I need you.
Caroline: Yeah Jake, but that gives you no right to yell at me!
Jake: I realize that Caroline, but at the time all I saw was the women I love getting back together with her ex-boyfriend. I know that isn’t what was truly happening, but I just saw red when that thought entered my mind, and I couldn’t handle that.
Caroline: I know but you really scared me, Jake.
Jake: I scared myself. I don’t normally act that
“Oh, Jake, we could have had such a damned good time together.’ ‘Yes, Isn’t it pretty to think so?”. Their final discussion is right where they started in the back of a cab. Brett has just dug a hole even deeper into the abyss of disappointment that Brett has already given him. Jake has lost his masculinity in more ways than one. He has to live without Brett, and with his disability, denying him any chance at all with women. He has finally accepted the loveless relationship that has become of them, and will push forward knowing how it will never be.
“I told you sweetie, she is in a better place right now. She won’t be coming home.” She looks up at me with tears in her eyes. “That’s not fair! Why would he leave us?” “It wasn’t her fault baby girl,” I say tearing up. “I WANT TO SEE HER NOW!” Amelia starts screaming. “You can’t see her!” I shout back.
Jake suffers from substance-induced psychotic disorder; this is clear when he is hosting a wild party at his home and his wife Beth dares to “get lippy”. He savagely assaults Beth in front of all his friends punching her and beating her and then after rapes her and no one helped her. Jake Heke also suffers from a mood disorder; Jake can go from being loving and happy one minute to savagely abusive and mean in the snap of a finger. This is clear when Beth refuses to make eggs for one of his guests at a party. Jakes beats her savagely while he was drunk in front of a crowd. Jake also suffers from brief-psychotic disorder which is witnessed by many people in a bar after being told that Bully raped his daughter Grace. He savagely beats Bully almost to death and stabs him with a broken beer bottle, he went psychotic.

“Why? What’s the point?”. Jake has a wife and a daughter and he hasn't spoken with his kid in months. His daughter refers to him as “the man that used to live with us” and he doesn't like speaking with his
“Don’t hesitate to call me if you need anything else”, Brianna says, offering one last warm hug as the young girl leaves. “And don’t worry, I will find a way to fix this, we’re in it together now.”
In the beginning, Jake at first is nervous and frustrated that Amy is late. Which is a lack of commitment from Amy's side, and Jake is just feeling the effects of it. When Amy does get there, Jake starts to ask questions and is very aggressive about it; all the while he does not give her a chance to speak. This is another type of transgression, Jake is displaying problematic emotions while he is addressing Amy. Also while Jake is questioning Amy, she is acting suspiciously, and either trying to avoid the question or delaying the answer. Which does not help and actually makes the situation worse, between the two. Throughout the session they are both distant, no touching whatsoever and avoiding eye contact. Things do get pretty heated between the two, and Jake even pressured the counselor into revealing what his thoughts are; in which was unsatisfying to both of them.
Jake, on the other hand, is young and inexperienced. Near the beginning of the case, Jake says to Carl
Caroline gulped she was right; it wasn’t the time to think about that. Reluctantly, Genevieve gave in to her mother’s requests and went to her grandmother’s house with Caroline. Little did Genevieve know what was in store for her.
“Well you had this look of depression the whole time we were walking. Just a moment ago you let out a sigh. Is there anything you need to tell us? You know that me, Will, and Anna all care about you.”

Ralph leaned forward listening intently, and by the time she finished, he’d lifted a craggy eyebrow and cocked his head to the side. “I’ll consider everything you’ve told me, Mrs. Fontaine. After Jake is awake, I’ll get his side.”
“You know absolutely nothing,” I snapped at the girl the moment I saw tears forming in her eyes. “My son is an idiot not to see that the two of you are perfect for one another. Now is not a good time for you to confess your feeling to Dennis. You know as well as anyone that he likes Alycia
It shows how Jake is persistent and dedicated to his job, even if it always seems like he is in over his head. Jake, however, also departs from the film noir tradition when he lets his emotions get the best of him. The greatest example of this is seen during the exchange between him and Evelyn when he is trying to find out the truth about Katherine. Resorting for the first time to violence against a woman, the near desperation with which Jake pushes Evelyn to confess is an expression of his fears and anxieties about being completely lost amidst the lies that surround him. The result is the humanization of Jake Giddes’ character. He simply is not perfect, and ultimately fails to see the bigger picture of what he is involved with until .
Jake also at times seems to realize how bad his life is, but then never regrets it. He is in love with Brett Ashley, but she is always with other people, including Robert Cohn, which makes Jake jealous. This jealousy turns to anger when Jake gets into a fight with Robert and is then knocked out.
