Actually I was working and went out to the lounge for a smoke break and ended up watching the last 15 minutes because I couldn’t look away.</p> <p>The story was of a young lady who was raped by a knife wielding bandit. The story went that a lady had come across the scene and fought off the attacker and then slipped away into the world to hide. She was an illegal immigrant who had come to the US from the Democratic Republic of Congo.</p>
