(glass shatters)

(woman panting)

- Let go.

- What's going on?

Are you okay?

- I need to get out of here.

- I think you've had a bit too much to drink tonight.

- I need to get out now.

- Stay here, I'll bring your car around.

- No.

- You can't drive.

Just wait here, okay?

I'll be right back, don't move.

(slow dramatic music)

(slow dramatic music continues)

(slow dramatic music continues)

- Hey.

(slow dramatic music continues)

(engine revving)

- Go away.

(woman panting)

(engines roaring)

(woman screaming) (glass shattering)

- Anyways, guys, like and comment

if you guys are gonna miss me

as much as I'm gonna miss you

and let me know if you guys would be interested

in a fan meet in the coming months.

- Do I need to subscribe

to get you to actually lend me a hand or?

- So you want me to participate

in the destruction of my life?

- It's a couple of boxes, you'll live.

- [Nicole] Why are we even here?

- I can't do this with you right now.

- This place is a suburban hell scape.

What am I supposed to do all the way out here?

- Preferably stay out of trouble.

- We don't have to do this.

You wanna start fresh, fine, but Dad's life insurance

could have gotten us a nice place in downtown LA.

- I told you we are not touching that.

- Oh my God, yeah, here we go again.

- Until we find out what happened.

- We know what happened.

He got drunk and drove off a bridge.

- Don't you dare talk about your father that way.

- Hi, ladies.

Are you girls new here?

I'm Rachel, I live across the street.

- Oh.

- It's so nice to see

that someone finally moved into this house.

I mean, empty houses

really bring down the value of the neighborhood.

- Is that so?

- I hope to see you at the HOA meetings.

You know it's really up to us--

- Yeah, that's probably not gonna happen.

It was really nice to meet you.

I just have to grab something.

- Well, there's also a book club

that gathers every Thursday if you wanted to.

(engine revs)

- Don't take it personally.

She's always like this.

- Rough day?

- More like rough year.

- Oh, here, let me help.

(gentle music)

- I technically can't drink.

- Oh, nonsense, it's barely alcohol.

- Cheers. - Cheers.

So what brings you here?

- You have to ask my mom that.

I have no idea.

- No, not a fan in the neighborhood?

- No offense. - Oh, none taken.

I've been your age.

I know you girls want excitement, secrets, parties,

especially with the kind of life you're used to.

- How do you know what kind of life I'm used to?

- Well, just outside, I overheard you addressing your fans.

Sorry, I couldn't help overhearing.

What is it that you do exactly?

- I'm an influencer and a model.

- Oh, how many followers do you have?

- I think I'm at about 700,000 give or take.

- Oh, how exciting.

- Yeah, my fans are the best.

They're obsessed with me or at least they used to be.

- Well, what happened?

- Just some drama.

People like to think that they know you

and when they find out they don't.

Sorry, I don't know why I'm telling you this.

- Oh, blame the wine.

- Trust me, I've had stronger shit in my system.

- To new beginnings.

Let's hope we can make them see you for who you really are.

- I'd kill to have a chance like that.

Seems unlikely here.

- You never know.

You might be surprised at the stuff

that goes on here if you know the right people.

- What do you mean?

- Hmm.

(gentle music)

- No, no, no, George.

That's my husband, let me go, let me go.

George.

Oh my God.

George, George.

(gentle music)

(gentle music continues)

Oh my god.

(gentle music continues)

- Whoa, whoa, whoa, you can't film here.

- It's okay, I'm a journalist.

- Oh yeah, what publication do you work for?

- I'm freelancing at the moment, but I can assure you.

- Right, right, right,

so you're using a famous person's accident

to get TikTok views.

- Okay, what famous person?

- Ma'am, you need to go back to your car.

- Look, this is the second identical accident

in the last year.

Okay, look at these marks in the road.

Someone ran that car off this bridge.

- Oh.

- George Pereira, same bridge, look it up.

- Listen, a girl died here today, okay,

so this is not the time or the place

for your true crime podcast conspiracy theories,

so how about you show some actual compassion and move along?

Thank you.

(gentle music)

- And I mean, I'm not a child, you know,

like I don't need this constant supervision.

- Oh, is your mom overbearing?

- You have no idea.

She thinks she's surrounded by idiots,

like we're all her Sims.

- Sims?

- Like these little tiny characters.

Nevermind.

I just wish I could be someone else

like even for a second, you know?

- I do.

Hey, can I use your restroom?

- Yeah, it's upstairs. - Thank you.

(gentle music)

(gentle music continues)

(water babbling)

(dramatic music)

(dramatic music continues)

(dramatic music continues)

- Find something.

- Uh, no, can I help you?

- I saw them shoo you away from the bridge.

Look like you knew what you were doing, so.

They wouldn't let me get too close either.

Family only.

- I'm sorry, who are you?

- Oh, excuse me, I'm Gabe.

I'm, I was Delilah's manager.

- My condolences. - Thanks.

We didn't even get a chance to do a press release yet.

I was supposed to take care of her.

Funny how that works out.

How are you related to Delilah?

- I'm not.

- And you don't work with the police?

- No, I'm a journalist.

Just, just trying to get the full picture.

- Full picture of a suicide?

Oh God, you're not with the tabloids, are you?

- No.

We don't know it was a suicide.

- A post from last night pretty much confirms it.

- I'm just saying that there might be more to it.

There was another case, just like this one.

They said it was a suicide too only I know it wasn't.

People don't just drive off bridges,

not when they have family and things to live for

and no explanation.

You know what, nevermind.

I was just passing by

and thought it looked familiar, so I should go.

- [Gabe] Wait.

- I mean I'm flattered,

but I'm not really into show business.

- Listen, I'd rather it wasn't a suicide too.

If there was some sort of foul play,

maybe I could stop blaming myself for not seeing signs.

I don't think it is, but if you find out anything more

as you say it, gimme a call.

- Thanks. - Least I could do.

(dramatic music)

- Took you long enough.

- I got held up.

Are you drinking?

Calm down, it was a glass of wine with the neighbor.

That's barely alcohol.

- Nicole, I am not doing this with you again.

Okay, we are not having another rehab situation.

- Oh my God, can you be chill for like five minutes?

I told you it's nothing.

- You wanna know why we moved here?

This,

all this.

I was hoping I could keep you outta trouble

if we were away from it all,

but clearly I underestimated you.

- Right 'cause it's my fault and it's totally not

because you got fired for going off the handle.

- Excuse me?

Ever since your father died, I don't even recognize you.

- Yeah, well maybe if you join me in reality

instead of looking for some imaginary killer,

you'd be more in the loop.

- Crap.

(door slams)

(gentle music)

(gentle music continues)

(gentle music continues)

(gentle music continues)

(gentle music continues)

- What?

(gentle music continues)

- I need to get out.

I'm getting out.

- Same girl.

(gentle music continues)

Mom, can I borrow 20 bucks?

- What's that? - Can I, nevermind.

(dramatic music)

(dramatic music continues)

(dramatic music continues)

(dramatic music continues)

(dramatic music continues)

(dramatic music continues)

(upbeat music)

Thank you.

(upbeat music continues)

(upbeat music continues)

(upbeat music continues)

Let go of me.

- You don't belong here.

This is a private event.

- I said let go.

You have no right, I was admitted.

- Listen, either walk with me now--

- Or you what?

- Sorry to keep you waiting, love.

I lost sight of you in the crowd there.

- She's with you?

She didn't say, I didn't know.

- Well, that's not the first thing you don't know isn't it,

but now you've gone and upset my date.

- I apologize.

What?

- Apologize to the lady.

- I'm sorry, miss.

I didn't realize.

What do you say?

Not a guest, it's your party.

You don't like his apology,

you can have him try again.

- No need, I accept your apology.

- That a girl.

- Thank you, but you didn't have to do this.

- Don't like grabby men trying to intimidate girls,

even when the girl in question

really has no business being here.

- You don't know, maybe I was invited.

- I do know you.

You're that TikTok girl with the scandal.

Face is all I saw in my bloody timeline for weeks.

- Well here you go.

- You're not on the, love,

let me escort you to the exit.

- Come on, I just got here.

- [Mr. Smile] This is not your average party.

I don't think you know what you're getting yourself into.

- Listen, I'm not gonna tell anyone.

I'm good at keeping secrets,

but this is the most badass thing

that's happened to me in months

and I literally have nothing else going on,

so come on, it's just one night, please.

- It's never just one night.

What if I end up liking you?

- Don't get too attached.

- Do you always get what you want?

- Not as often as I should.

- Well, you are impossible to reason with.

How's any man's supposed to resist?

- They don't.

- Oh.

You'll need this.

Yeah, that's brilliant.

(upbeat music)

(dramatic music)

(dramatic music continues)

- I need to get out.

I'm getting out.

(upbeat music)

(upbeat music continues)

- Young star's death shocks industry.

Time to look to the side of Hollywood

we don't see until it's too late

and start really talking about depression, alcohol,

and drug abuse among the people

who look so flawless on posters.

(upbeat music)

- It's not asin. - Don't like cherries.

Allergic.

- No cherries, did not sin, got it.

(dramatic music)

- Thank you.

- You all right?

- Yeah, fine.

(upbeat music continues)

(dramatic music)

(upbeat music)

(upbeat music continues)

(dramatic music)

(dramatic music continues)

(dramatic music continues)

- I really didn't think I was gonna call you

- Then why did you?

- I don't know.

Every good journalist needs a source.

- [Gabe] Flattered.

- And you know the industry.

Maybe you can help me see some connections

between these cases.

- I don't get it though.

Why take on this job?

You're not getting paid to investigate it.

- My husband was killed on the same bridge,

same circumstances about a year ago.

- I'm sorry.

- The thing is, it's not even a dangerous bridge.

It's been there for 20 years.

My husband was the first to die on it,

Delilah was the second.

- In the span of a year? - Right?

I mean, that can't be a coincidence.

- Was he in the industry too?

- Not really.

I mean, he's a web analyst.

I don't know if he saw something he shouldn't.

I don't know, it doesn't make any sense.

- Well, I'm glad you called me.

If there is something sketchy going on, we'll find it.

- You're not gonna act like I am insane

or having a breakdown or delusional?

- Look, you're first and foremost a professional journalist.

It wouldn't be the first time

something that seemed crazy turned out to be true.

If you have a hunch about this,

I'd rather see it through than regret it later.

- Okay.

Then I have a few things to show you.

(dramatic music)

(gentle music)

(dramatic music)

(gentle music)

(gentle music continues)

(dramatic music)

(dramatic music continues)

- [Gabe] Does this make sense?

- I, I don't know, but we have to make it make sense, right?

- You know when I first met you under the bridge,

I thought you were crazy.

- Thanks.

- And it still seems crazy,

but I think maybe I'm going crazy too

because there is something here

and your husband is smack in the center of it all somehow.

I just dunno how yet.

- Okay, well let's go over it again.

So my husband is here at the same bridge as Delilah

and Delilah's last post

seemed to be at some kind of a party.

We could tell by music in the background

and when I lighten the video,

we see this smiley face stamp on her wrist.

- Some sort of symbol, maybe a part of a cult.

- No, I think it seems more like a club

and then we had three other deaths in the last year or so.

My husband and Delilah makes five.

One was a DUI, another suicide by sleep aids

and another overdose, seemingly unrelated

and not necessarily similar, but four of them were actresses

or models of the same age range and status.

- And all at some point

posted something at these parties.

- Exactly, so if you look at the smiley face,

behind is a very distinctive lamp

and it looks like the same lamps

in the post of the other women.

- It could be coincidence.

It is weird.

Was your husband one to attend secret parties?

- No, George's idea of a wild night was playing golf.

Although before he died, he started drinking.

Sometimes he came drunk and I don't know where he was.

- That's what we have to find out.

I feel like he's the key to all the other deaths too.

- [Nicole] And who are you?

- Oh, hi, I'm Gabe.

- This is my daughter, Nicole.

- Yes, Nicole, nice to meet you.

So are you also paranoid or just humoring my mom?

- Nicole, that's enough.

- Paranoid it is.

How'd she find you?

- Just trying to figure out what happened to my client.

- Your client? - I'm a talent manager.

- No way.

- Nicole, why don't you go and get dressed.

- Have you ever managed influencers?

- Nicole, please. - Okay.

Sheesh, it's like a Puritan society over here.

We're not done.

I'm Nicole Pereira, look me up.

- Sorry about that.

- It's quite presence.

She'll go far.

- [Alex] Yeah, the question is where?

- [Gabe] You gotta give her more credit.

I see young talent all the time.

Not all of them have what she has.

- [Alex] Maybe we could just stay focused on Delilah.

If anything, that is an example

of where showbiz can take you.

- [Gabe] Can't shield her from everything.

- [Alex] Do you mind passing me Delilah's wallet?

Actually, I'd like to look at something.

- You sure it's safe to keep it here?

- I mean, where else do I keep it?

I'm not even supposed to have it.

- Yeah, that's what I'm worried about.

Someone sees that, you can get in trouble.

- Who's gonna see it?

I'm not exactly a social butterfly.

(dramatic music)

- Hey.

Yeah, she's just like I thought.

Oh, she's better even.

Oh yeah, they'll like her

and that look with that attitude,

she'll make a nice replacement for Delilah.

(dramatic music continues)

(door bell rings)

- Didn't think I'd see you again.

Still playing detectives?

- Hey, is your mom home?

- She just went out for groceries.

She'll back soon.

Come inside.

I don't bite sometimes.

Ooh, you bought chocolates.

- Yeah, a client left those for me.

I'm not big on sweets though.

- Oh, cherry filled.

Too bad.

- Don't like cordials?

- Whatever.

Do you want something to drink?

- That would be great.

Um, Nicole, what you said yesterday

about needing a manager, you serious?

- Why?

- Well, I looked at your content.

- Seriously? - Yeah.

Yeah, I mean, you were a top influencer for a reason.

Wouldn't be the direction I try to pursue

with your career if I was your manager,

but if you're serious about a career in the industry,

love to discuss some things with you if you have time.

(dramatic music)

- No. - Nicole.

- No, no. - Nicole.

Nicole.

- No, no. - Nicole.

Nicole.

(dramatic music continues)

Open up, Nicole.

- What? - What's going on?

- [Gabe] Alex, you're back.

- What in the hell is going on in here?

- Nothing.

- I'm not gonna ask again, Gabe.

- Nicole was just showing me her acting chops.

- And why was the door locked?

- Because I didn't wanna get interrupted,

which clearly is an impossible luxury here.

- So I was just saying with the right strategy

and if we redirect our energy.

- Our energy?

- To modeling or acting, we can get her back on top.

- There is no we, okay?

This is Nicole's opportunity to start over.

- Mom.

- This is starting over.

- No, this is a spiral into depression, drugs, and rehab

and realizing when it's too late

that you wasted your life chasing likes

and views from people you don't even know

instead of focusing your energy

on things that really matter to you in life.

- What, like you're doing?

- Nicole.

- Okay, this stops right here.

Gabe, I would like you to leave.

- Just hear me out.

This could be Nicole's chance to reach for her dreams.

If it doesn't work out, it doesn't, but why not just try?

- With all due respect, Gabe, she's my daughter.

You have nothing to do with this.

- Um, actually it does, he's my manager.

We already signed the agreement.

- I'm sorry, you signed her without my permission.

- Well, she's 18.

She can technically sign without a parent.

- Do you have any idea

the damage that a little bit of fame

did to her mental health?

Can you comprehend in the slightest

the risk of getting her involved in this world?

- I'm a manager.

It's my job, Alex.

I'll take care of it.

- Yeah?

Like you took care of Delilah?

- I should go. - Yeah, you should.

- Nicole? - Don't even.

- [Alex] I'm just trying to protect you.

- You are trying to ruin my life.

As if it's not bad enough,

you take every last ounce of hope that I have and kill it.

This is exactly how you were with Dad.

You knew he hated his job and wanted to quit.

You knew he wasn't happy,

but you made him stay because it was safer

because you know better than everybody.

- How dare you imply that?

- You know, maybe,

maybe you're looking for the culprit in the wrong places.

(gentle music)

(gentle music continues)

(gentle music continues)

(gentle music continues)

(dramatic music)

(dramatic music continues)

- [Gabe] Hello?

- I thought I told you to leave.

- [Gabe] What are you talking about?

- You're not outside my house right now?

- Alex, what are you talking about?

Who's outside your house?

- Is this is your way of apologizing?

(dramatic music)

(dramatic music continues) (phone dings)

- That is called Fade.

I'll message you if anything else like this comes up.

- There you go, getting all attached.

- Pay attention.

Messages are only displayed

for 10 seconds before disappearing.

You can't screenshot in the app.

- What's with all the secrecy?

You guys are all so extra.

- You get it yet?

Most influential people in the industry

come here to unwind, to blow off steam

and they will do anything to stay anonymous.

No one wants a scandal.

You know that better than anyone.

(dramatic music)

(dramatic music continues)

(dramatic music continues)

- [Nicole] Where are we going?

- Special event tonight, come on.

- You're still wearing a mask.

- [Mr. Smile] I told you,

we can't risk the spread of rumors.

- You don't trust me.

- I like you.

Trust, I'm afraid we're not quite there yet.

- And you expect me to trust you enough to get in the car

with a masked stranger.

- Well, I expect nothing.

You're full of surprises.

So your mother taught you about stranger danger?

- I think I'm gonna pass on tonight.

- Well, I was joking.

Nicole.

- [Nicole] I'm serious.

- Listen, it's not that I don't trust you.

It's just I'm one of the big names,

all right, like really big.

I'm not bragging, it's just a fact

and I haven't had someone from outside,

someone who isn't totally rotten from this industry yet

treat me like a normal person until we met.

- I'm not gonna fan girl over you.

- I know, I believe you.

I just need more time for now.

For now, I want you to think of me as just smiley,

- Smiley?

- Sure, good old chap, Smiley.

- I'm not calling you that.

- [Mr. Smile] Mr. Smile then, make it more formal.

- This is stupid.

- Listen, if you have to go, fine,

but I'm being as honest as I can be with you.

- Why'd you message me?

- Told you I would. - Yeah, but why?

If you're as big as you say you are,

you should have women throwing themselves

at you all the time, so why do all this

and don't tell me it was because I impressed you

so much last time

'cause I can tell when men are bullshitting me.

- Okay, you're right.

I have ulterior motives, I need your help.

- What kind of help?

- Something happened to a good friend of mine.

They say it was an accident, but I don't believe that.

- Delilah.

- Recently her career started really taking off.

She received this invitation.

We had no clue who sent it, so I told her not to go either.

She was fearless and stubborn,

so I accompanied her to make sure it was safe.

- Grab my drink for me.

(upbeat music)

(upbeat music continues)

(upbeat music continues)

(upbeat music continues)

- Delilah?

I lost her for just 15 minutes,

but when I found her, she seemed drugged and panicked.

(dramatic music)

(dramatic music continues)

Should never left her there, but my car was valet parked

on the other side of the building.

I went for the key to bring it round for her,

but on my way back to Delilah, I got held up.

- Hey. - Sorry, in a bit of a rush.

- No, I don't think you are.

- I don't know this woman,

but she must have something to do with it

because by the time I got back, Delilah was gone

and the next day--

- They found her dead.

I'm sorry, that's terrible.

You need to call the police.

- I wanted to, but I had no proof.

I don't even know who most of these people are.

If I come forward now, nothing will be done,

my identity will be blown and they will destroy me,

my career, everything.

- And you think I can help?

- You're an outsider.

You're basically the only person I could trust

who's definitely not in on it

and they liked you, you made an impression.

You can get close to them, help me find out more.

- And why can't you?

- I just started going recently.

They don't trust me enough

to involve me in whatever's happening, but with you,

I have a chance to find out what that is.

Get proof, something.

- Seemed pretty influential back there.

- Any official guest gets have treatment from the staff.

It's just the surface, it's not real.

- So you're using me as bait?

- No.

Kind of.

Like an undercover agent.

Listen, this time I know what to expect.

I will keep you safe.

- I don't know.

This is crazy.

- Girls are getting drugged

and God knows what else, Nicole, killed maybe

and no one is doing anything about it.

There are other deaths too.

I'm not sure they're connected to this,

but there are models

and young actresses from the same circles.

That's what we'll find out.

You said yourself, you have nothing going on now anyway

and if you help me, I promise I will help you.

- What do you mean?

- I have a few big projects coming up.

I can turn your life around.

That, that scandal,

that TikTok past, you can forget about it, love.

(gentle music)

- Crap.

(gentle music continues)

- You better keep me safe. - Promise.

- Wait,

how do you know they liked me?

- Otherwise why would they send two invites?

(dramatic music)

(dramatic music continues)

(dramatic music continues)

(door bell rings) (dramatic music continues)

(dramatic music continues)

- Can I come in?

- Wait, Rachel, right?

Of course, yeah.

- Are you okay?

Not really?

(dramatic music)

Is there something I can help you with

or maybe someone I can call for you?

- People who care don't need to be called.

If he wanted to, he would, you know?

- No, I'm not sure I follow.

- Would you drink with me?

- I'd rather not. - Oh, please.

It's only alcoholism if you drink alone.

- So what are we drinking too?

- The truth.

- Hmm.

Which is?

- You can't trust anyone in this world,

especially men.

- Well, I'm not sure who's responsible for all of this,

but I don't think you should lose trust in everyone

just because of one person.

- I don't see your prince charming anywhere.

(dramatic music continues)

(dramatic music continues)

- My husband was killed.

- Killed?

- They said it was an accident,

possibly a suicide,

but I don't believe that.

- By who?

- That's what I'm trying to find out.

What kind of wine is this?

- Only the most exquisite of the century.

So is that why you moved here,

to find out who killed him?

- No.

I moved here to keep my daughter safe.

- Mm, yeah, your daughter, Nicole, right?

She's a lovely girl.

I mean, that's such a shame about that scandal.

Bet she's pretty desperate for her comeback.

So have you managed to find anything yet?

- What?

- Any clues about your husband or about something else?

- Who was he?

- [Rachel] Who?

- The man who stood you up tonight.

- Doesn't matter.

We're talking about you.

- I don't think there was a man.

- You know what, sometimes I feel the same way.

Cheers.

Is that way you were on the bridge

the day they found Delilah?

- I never said anything about a bridge.

- Of course you did.

You said there was an accident on the bridge.

- I don't remember saying that.

I think you should leave.

- You're right.

It is late.

Thank you for that.

I feel much better.

Do you mind if I use your restroom?

- It's on your way out.

- Thank you.

(dramatic music continues)

(dramatic music continues)

(upbeat music)

- You're popular tonight. - Yeah.

- It's better than your average frat party.

- You're right.

- Now, I can't say names,

but trust me, she is going to be the next big thing.

Whoa, not so fast, buddy.

(upbeat music continues)

(upbeat music continues)

(dramatic music)

(dramatic music continues)

(dramatic music continues)

- Nicole?

(dramatic music continues)

Nicole?

(dramatic music continues)

Nicole?

(dramatic music continues)

What are you doing?

- Oh, okay.

- Stay back.

Where's my daughter?

How would I know?

I'm not her mother.

Listen, I was just passing this room

on my way to the bathroom

and this wall looked a little unhinged,

no offense, so I thought I should capture it

in case something else unhinged happens.

- Who the hell are you?

- I'm just your neighbor.

I want us to be friends.

- And I want you to leave.

- I'm on your side, okay?

I'm trying to help.

- By barging into my house?

- By giving you advice.

Whatever you think you're doing,

it won't lead anywhere good.

- Is that a threat?

- It's advice.

You're so worried about your daughter,

I would be more concerned about where she is now

and how far things would go if you don't stop.

- My daughter has nothing to do with this.

- I think there are people who would disagree with you.

- What people?

- You know, you're so focused on looking for them,

you don't even entertain the possibility

that you already found you.

- You need to leave. - I'm going.

(dramatic music continues)

(dramatic music continues)

- No, when I said undercover agent,

I didn't mean quite so deep undercover.

- Shut up, I was amazing. - I didn't say you weren't

- Really, you won't even kiss me goodnight

even after I risked my life for you?

- Another time.

- Stay.

- I'm sorry, love, I need to go and.

(dramatic music)

(dramatic music continues)

(dramatic music continues) (phone ringing)

- Oh my God, shut up.

(phone ringing)

Mom.

(phone ringing)

Oh, come on, Mom, pick up your phone.

Mom.

Mom, Mom.

Oh my god, Mom, Mom.

What happened?

(dramatic music continues)

- I don't know.

I think Rachel was here.

- You got wasted with Rachel?

- No, she was, she was saying things like threats.

- [Nicole] And I'm the one that's out of control.

- Where were you?

- What?

- Last night, you weren't home, where were you?

- It doesn't matter.

- Nicole.

- I met up with some guy.

- What guy? - From an app, okay?

Don't act so shocked.

It is what it is.

I'm not the one who woke up drunk on the floor.

How could you do this after what happened to Dad?

- Listen to me, I wasn't drunk, okay?

This is no joke.

These people know about you and you're in danger.

They know I'm onto them.

- Mom, are you okay?

Are you sure you don't need a doctor?

- [Alex] The wallet's gone.

- What?

- Oh my God.

That's it, I'm calling the cops.

- So the glass you supposedly used

is nowhere to be found, correct?

- Well, she must have taken it

- Right.

We're gonna need you to come in with a urine sample

if you think you were drugged.

- I don't think, I know I was.

- And she took pictures inside your house, is that right?

- Yes.

- And threatened your daughter.

- I know it sounds crazy, but yes.

- Was anything taken?

- Other than my wine glass?

No, no, I don't think so.

- Let me go over there.

I'm gonna get her statement.

- Great.

(dramatic music)

- Hi.

- Didn't you say she took some wallet?

- They can't know about it.

I'm not supposed to have it and she knows that.

Nicole.

(dramatic music continues)

- Won't believe me anyway.

Some confusion about where people

are allowed to park things.

- Oh, okay, well I just park.

- Are you sure? - Yeah.

- We're not gonna worry, it's all good.

- We'll work on our info. - Absolutely, okay.

- What?

(dramatic music continues)

- Yeah, okay, sorry to bother you, Rachel.

- [Rachel] All good.

- What the hell is going on?

- Calm down, okay?

- That woman barged into my house and drugged me.

- Like I said, bring in a urine sample, but until then,

we're gonna need you to stay away from your neighbor.

- Oh, I'm supposed to stay away?

What is happening right now?

- Okay, she told us about your husband

and you taking that hard is understandable,

but it is not an excuse for you to harass your neighbors

and distract police officers from their duty.

- What are you saying right now?

- I'm just trying to keep the peace, okay?

Look, this doesn't have to go any farther

than it already has.

We're gonna consider this a mistake,

but if we receive even one more complaint about you,

that will be grounds for arrest.

- I called you.

This is ridiculous.

- I need you to stay calm and go back in your house, okay,

or I'll have to bring you in.

Ma'am.

(dramatic music continues)

(dramatic music continues)

(phone ringing)

- Hello? - Hello.

- Can you come over?

- What brought on the change of heart?

- Something's happening, Gabe,

and this psycho down the street is in on it

and the police won't believe me or she's bribing them.

I don't know.

I just can't do it alone.

- Well, for what it's worth, glad you called me.

Actually, if it's okay with you,

I have some news to share with Nicole.

- What news? - Yeah, what news?

- Okay, Nicole, I am very pleased to inform you

that you have been asked to audition

for an upcoming action movie

with Aaron Thomas Richardson.

- What?

- This should be a huge blockbuster too.

Nicole, this is insane.

- Aaron Thomas Richardson?

- I just announced you as a client yesterday.

The audition is today though.

Can you make it?

- Oh my God, he's so hot.

He is so hot.

- I'm sorry, how do they already know you represent her?

- News travels fast, I guess.

Unless there's something we should know.

- What?

No, it's just lucky, I guess

or you must be really good at your job.

- I do like that option.

- I don't.

It's just the timing of this is all a little weird.

- Oh my God, I love him.

Wait, isn't he British?

- Aaron, yeah, he's from the UK, yeah.

- Yes.

- What are you doing?

- I figured instead of just focusing on the girls who died,

you know, why not look at their followers,

who they're following, keeping it to the same age range

and women in the industry.

I found some others that had photos

that looked like they were taken at the same parties

or had the same smiley stamp.

- [Gabe] Oh.

- And one of them just messaged me back.

- Julia Knight.

- Do you know her?

- Name sounds familiar.

I don't know her personally.

- Oh, she wants to meet up in person to talk tonight.

- Alex, that's huge.

I'll come with you.

- She wants to meet alone.

She seems really scared.

- Yeah.

Yeah, of course.

You'll take precautions?

- Of course.

I've got my self-defense kit.

Oh, this is a real lead.

I have to pursue it.

- Are you okay?

- Yeah, yeah,

I just feel like I don't know my own industry

at all anymore.

What is happening?

- Well, this is why I don't want Nicole to be a part of it.

- Can we not do this again?

- Don't worry,

I'm gonna keep Nicole far away from this mess.

You're not attending any secret exclusive parties, are you?

- I wish.

- See all good.

- Yeah, let's keep it that way.

- Hey, so there's this girl, Julia Knight.

She might know something.

My mom's gonna meet her tonight.

I'll let you know if I hear anything,

- [Mr. Smile] Julia, yeah, let me know what you find out.

- So when am I gonna see you again?

- [Mr. Smile] I don't know.

- You can wear that stupid mask.

- [Mr. Smile] All right.

(dramatic music)

- Look me in the eyes and tell me you betrayed

everything we stand for.

Go on, say it.

- Would you shoot me my love?

- Well, we both know it wouldn't actually be you.

Not anymore.

(all clapping)

- Yeah, no, I know.

Yeah, I'm on my way.

(dramatic music continues)

- Hey, no mask today

or I'm still not supposed to know?

- Sorry, love.

(dramatic music continues)

(dramatic music continues)

(phone dings)

- Okay.

It's okay.

Hey, yeah, sure.

I'm just not home right now.

Where do you wanna meet?

Oh, no, you don't need to do that.

I'm, I'm just, I'm not home right now, I'm at the gym, so.

How did you find me?

Okay, I didn't know you were nearby.

I wasn't gonna tell anyone anything.

I just wanted to throw her off.

That's it.

I didn't mean to be ungrateful.

(woman screaming)

- Yeah, I'm almost there.

- [Gabe] Be careful, I don't like this.

- She needs help, Gabe.

I'll be careful.

She's sending me a message.

Let me call you back.

What?

(phone ringing)

Julia? (dramatic music continues)

Julia hey, it's me, Alex.

(dramatic music continues)

Oh my God.

Julia, Julia, hey.

What's the matter?

What happened?

Oh my God.

You're okay.

It's gonna be okay.

It's gonna be okay. - 911.

- Hi, I'm at Emerson Park.

Can you please come right away?

We have an emergency.

(dramatic music continues) (Alex grunting)

- [911 Operator] What's your emergency?

Ma'am?

Ma'am, help is on the way.

(dramatic music continues) (Alex grunting)

(dramatic music continues)

(dramatic music continues)

- [Mr. Smile] Hello, love.

Sorry, can't make it.

A little caught up at work.

You said your mom's meeting some girl tonight.

How did that go?

(sirens wailing) (dramatic music continues)

- Gabe.

- I came as soon as I could.

- What is happening?

Who would do this?

- I knew she shouldn't have gone alone.

I'm so stupid.

I should have gone with her.

- This is all real, isn't it?

I mean, I thought she was crazy, but who would kill Julia

and then try to kill her if she wasn't onto something?

- They say Julia was an overdose.

- And you believe that after everything

and my dad, I mean, is he really related to all this?

- I don't know.

- This is too much.

- Your mom survived.

That's all that matters.

- What are we gonna do?

- I'm gonna talk to her.

I think it's time for her to take a break.

Maybe lay low for a little bit.

- She'll never agree to that.

- Yeah, I got that from the short time I've known her.

She got lucky tonight.

No one gets that lucky twice.

I'm sure she'll understand.

- Absolutely not.

I'm not afraid of them.

- I feel like you should be.

Look at you.

- That's what they want.

They want me to stop digging.

Well they can choke.

- What if they come after Nicole next?

Look, I'm not saying to give up completely.

I'll keep my ear to the ground.

I'll update you, but I can't keep letting you put yourself

and Nicole in harm's way like that.

- I was so close. - Yeah, no kidding.

Too close.

- Hey.

I'm sorry.

I messed up.

- No, you were right.

Somebody killed Dad and now they're trying to kill you too,

but we'll get them,

but Gabe is right.

They have to stop seeing you as a threat,

at least for a little bit.

(gentle music)

- [Mr. Smile] Nicole, I asked you not to call me first.

- I need to see you.

- [Mr. Smile] You sound off, something happened?

- Yeah, something happened.

- [Mr. Smile] Are you home alone?

- Yes, door's open.

No mask.

I'll wear mine.

(gentle music continues)

(gentle music continues)

(gentle music continues)

(gentle music continues)

- [Mr. Smile] Nicole.

What's gotten into you?

- I need you.

- [Mr. Smile] What's happening, love?

- I don't know what's real anymore.

- You're safe now.

I promise I won't let anything hurt you.

Sorry I got you involved in all this.

You can stop.

- No.

- No?

- They can't keep doing this to people.

They can't keep abusing their power like that.

- I'm starting to be scared for you.

- Yeah, well that makes two of us,

but we can't let them win.

- Alright, what's the plan?

- When's the next party?

- There's an event tonight.

I wasn't going to invite you.

It seems different.

- Different how?

- It's very underground.

Details are elusive.

- I'm going.

- We don't know what type of event this is.

Something tells me it's not your typical rave.

- Doesn't matter, I need the truth.

I need to find out who killed my father and why

and I can't keep letting them hurt my mom.

- You're impossible.

- Yeah, well that's why you like me

and maybe once we figure this all out,

we can ditch the secrecy altogether

and maybe go on a real date.

I mean it's sexy and all,

but we can't keep this up forever, right?

Hello?

Are you there?

(gentle music continues)

(dramatic music)

(upbeat music)

I'm not sure I like that.

- It's always anonymous.

You can go to such lengths in the regular parties.

Think whatever happens tonight is too private to record.

- So something is happening?

- Afraid so.

(upbeat music continues)

(upbeat music continues)

- Is this a fashion show?

- This point nothing surprises me.

(dramatic music)

- What?

- Not today.

We don't know what's in these.

Here.

- Water?

Are you kidding me?

- [Mr. Smile] Safest option.

- You sound like my mom.

- Trust me, I'm much worse.

- Should we split up, investigate?

- [Mr. Smile] I don't think that's a good idea.

- Cover more ground.

You said it yourself.

They don't trust you but me they won't expect.

- Alright, don't wander off too far.

Remember, you may do a lovely job of being big,

but if you're not careful, you'll get eaten all the same.

- Yeah, okay, okay.

Meet you at the podium in 15.

- [Mr. Smile] Don't be late.

(upbeat music)

(upbeat music continues)

- Hey. - Hey.

- Yeah, looking great.

(upbeat music continues)

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

Are you okay?

I'm Nicole.

- I'm Natalie.

- Do you want me to call you a cab or something?

I mean, it's the middle of the night,

but I'm sure most of the people here have drivers.

Did you drink too much?

- I had water.

- Just water?

- That smiling bastard will be his drive,

but she's worth it.

- Okay, okay, but we can't stay here like this.

Here, come on.

Come on.

I'm gonna get you out of here.

You'll be okay.

- She's better than Delilah.

(dramatic music)

That's smiling bastard.

She's worth it.

Better than Delilah.

- I'm getting out.

- Going somewhere?

- You.

- 15 minutes are up.

I was worried

- This girl isn't feeling well.

I'm just taking her for some fresh air.

- You don't look well either, love.

- I'm fine.

Stay over there.

- Nicole, I'm gonna need you to stop this.

- I trusted you.

- That sounds like a you problem.

Besides, it's not like you're not getting anything for it.

Promise I'd help you if you help me, right?

- We're going.

- [Mr. Smile] Are you?

- Come on, let's leave.

- Alright, go ahead.

So dramatic.

(dramatic music)

(phone ringing)

- What?

Oh, no, no, no, no.

(phone ringing)

- [Nicole] Hey, bitches, you've reached Nicole.

- Dammit.

(phone ringing)

- [Gabe] Hello?

- Gabe, I think Nicole's in trouble.

- [Gabe] What?

- She, she sent me her location

and she's somewhere desolate.

I think they have her.

- [Gabe] Okay, hold on.

First things first, drop me the location.

I'll call the police.

- I'm going there.

- [Gabe] Naturally, me too.

- Okay.

Thank you.

- [Gabe] Okay, I'll meet you there.

(dramatic music continues)

(dramatic music continues)

- Almost show time.

Watch her for me.

(dramatic music continues)

(dramatic music continues)

I know you were there.

I was wondering when you'd catch up.

Problem is you don't know this club.

(dramatic music continues)

(dramatic music continues)

- Where's Nicole?

- Whoops, you caught me.

Now what?

- Where is my daughter?

- Oh, now you're thinking about your daughter.

Do you know how many times she was completely at my mercy

over the last couple of days?

No, you wouldn't.

You were making mood boards.

- Where is she?

- She's paying her dues.

- You're sick.

- Just doing my part.

We all are, even you.

- What are you talking about?

- For instance, right now you're playing the role

of the mother who goes tragically missing

pushing Nicole right over the edge.

- What?

- I did say I'd meet you here.

(dramatic music continues)

Did the accident throw you off?

Some journalist you are.

- [Alex] You can't be.

- Think about it.

- You're working with Rachel.

- You're still on about that.

Do keep up.

Rachel didn't drug you.

I did.

(dramatic music continues)

- No cherries, allergic.

Oh, cherry filled.

Too bad.

- [Gabe] You don't like cordials?

- [Nicole] Whatever.

- [Alex] My husband was killed.

- Now when I said undercover agent,

I didn't mean quite so deep undercover.

(dramatic music continues)

(dramatic music continues)

(dramatic music continues)

(Julia screaming) (dramatic music continues)

(dramatic music continues)

- Julia, hey, it's me, Alex.

(dramatic music continues) (Alex grunting)

(dramatic music continues)

- You know what the funniest thing is?

I really have no idea what happened to your husband.

Nothing to do with this.

Probably suicide.

You so desperately wanted to have someone to blame,

to punish.

It's kind of like your daughter

and how she believed that an A-list movie star

would notice her and help her

just because she wanted to believe it so badly.

You know you're really more alike than you thought.

(both grunting)

(both grunting)

See, didn't even hurt.

You know, most girls that we auction,

they don't even remember it happening.

It doesn't have to be a big deal.

- Psycho.

- They're easy to keep quiet.

Once they get a taste of the opportunities,

the rolls, the attention,

who would sacrifice all that?

We're not monsters, Alex.

It's a win-win.

- What about Delilah and Julie?

- You gotta go with the flow.

You gotta be grateful for the attention.

Do you know how many people,

how many talented people work their whole lives

and never get a break?

These girls, they get it for so little,

but there's always someone

that goes and tries to ruin it.

Well, enjoy your trip.

Afraid it is gonna be a one way.

I have an auction to attend.

(dramatic music continues)

(dramatic music continues)

(dramatic music continues)

- Please write down your offers now.

Our ushers will be down to look over your proposals.

Forget about it, she's with at least.

(dramatic music continues)

- Come on.

Help.

That a girl.

(dramatic music continues)

- [Mr. Smile] Pleasure doing business with you.

(dramatic music continues)

(dramatic music continues)

- You'll be okay.

- You're? - An undercover officer?

Yeah, I've been trying to get these bastards for months.

Well that's why Hank

and those cops you called didn't do anything.

I just wanted to know what you know.

- They have Nicole.

- Backup is on the way.

- [Alex] There's no time.

- Can you walk?

Here.

Let's go get your daughter.

(dramatic music continues)

- So beautiful.

(Nicole grunting)

Bitch.

(dramatic music continues)

- Mom.

- You're okay, you're okay.

It's gonna be okay.

It's okay. (dramatic music continues)

- It's the cops.

- [Officer] Police.

- Stay where you are.

Stop right there.

Stop or I'll shoot.

(dramatic music continues)

- Oh, thank God.

Gabe.

- No, no, Nicole.

Nicole.

- Guess again, love.

Put the gun down officer.

- You snake asshole.

- Let her go.

- Drop your weapon.

- Oh no, I think you're gonna drop yours first.

You're gonna put it down, you're gonna slide it towards me,

and I'm gonna get outta here with her.

- Like hell you will.

- I have nothing to lose.

You have everything.

I'm gonna count to three, officer.

- Nicole.

- One, two.

(dramatic music continues)

(gun shots) (dramatic music continues)

- Look at me, look at me, look at me.

(dramatic music continues)

(dramatic music continues)

It's okay, I got you, I got you.

- [Alex] Unmasking the truth is often painful.

It's much easier to fool yourself

into believing a compelling lie.

So easy you start lying to yourself

and in doing that, endanger and hurt those closest to you.

(gentle music)

- But facing the truth,

no matter how terrible it makes us feel,

is how we move forward together,

one moment at a time.

Hi, Mom. - Hey, sweetie.

- How's being the most famous journalist in the country?

- Exhausting.

How's school?

- Great and the best part is this new restaurant

just opened up right around the corner.
