The story
Max Cady, a psychopathic rapist, is released from prison after finishing a full sentence for the rape and battery of a 16-year-old girl.
He explains that after learning to read in prison, he taught himself law and attempted several unsuccessful appeals of his case representing himself, implying that he knows about the hidden report.
Davis refuses Bowden's pleas to report the attack after Cady reveals that he knows about her inappropriate flirtations with Bowden.
