said, "Pack your bag.

308

I assumed it
was for a photo shoot,

I found all these
disposable cameras.

316

stay in when I first got there

320
00:20:43,586 --> 00:20:46,310

It looked like the walrus

Yeah, it was a very
disturbing picture.

I've never seen a picture
like that.

of Ghislaine around, too.

331
00:21:16,517 --> 00:21:17,931
Well, when I first met
Ghislaine,

332
00:21:17,931 --> 00:21:21,517
I was told that
she was Epstein's girlfriend.

333
00:21:21,517 --> 00:21:23,965
The thing is, they never --

334
00:21:23,965 --> 00:21:25,965
<font face="Microsoft Sans Serif">I didn't even see them
hold hands or kiss once

335
00:21:25,965 --> 00:21:28,172
or even give each other
a hug, to be honest.

336
00:21:28,172 --> 00:21:30,275
I never saw them, like,
come that close.

337
00:21:30,275 --> 00:21:33,586
So it definitely wasn't a
romantic relationship.

338
00:21:36,206 --> 00:21:39,655
Jeffrey really liked
watching movies.

339
00:21:39,655 --> 00:21:41,275
And the next day,
another girl was brought in,</font>

340
00:21:41,275 --> 00:21:42,620
and we were watching a movie.

341
00:21:42,620 --> 00:21:44,241
And this other girl was there,

342
00:21:44,241 --> 00:21:47,310
and she started performing
a sex act on him

343
00:21:47,310 --> 00:21:49,000
while I was sitting next to him,

344
00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:51,758
and I was absolutely petrified.

345

Because I was so young and I had
never seen anything like that.</font>

346
00:21:53,793 --> 00:21:55,620

and I was crying.

I was just --
I just didn't know what to do.

There was no hope
of getting away.

349
00:22:02,482 --> 00:22:04,241
You know, I was in
a foreign country.

350
00:22:04,241 --> 00:22:06,034
I was without any cellphone
or money

<font face="Microsoft Sans Serif">or means of communication.</font>

00:22:09,137 --> 00:22:12,275
I just realised then
I was completely trapped.

00:22:14,379 --> 00:22:17,586
And there was nothing
I could do.

354
00:22:23,551 --> 00:22:27,068
Ghislaine was running the girls,
and she'd also tell us when

355
00:22:27,068 --> 00:22:29,344
we had to go to his bedroom.

358
00:22:35,517 --> 00:22:38,620
It would have been very,
very scary making them angry.

359
00:22:38,620 --> 00:22:41,172
No one even tried
to stand up against them.

Mnh-mnh.

361
00:22:44,241 --> 00:22:48,931

pitch-dark and ice-cold.

<font face="Microsoft Sans Serif">I just checked out of my body</font>

what else to do.

There was something about
the energy of a girl

00:23:17,586 --> 00:23:20,068
being scared that he liked.

372
00:23:28,931 --> 00:23:30,551
He was taking me back and forth.

373
00:23:30,551 --> 00:23:33,724
I think it was over like --
just under a year and a half.

374
00:23:33,724 --> 00:23:35,793
<font face="Microsoft Sans Serif">I was so broken by that point
that I just

375
00:23:35,793 --> 00:23:38,620
sort of went along with it.

376

I went along with anything,
I suppose.

377

at least three times a day.

379
00:23:46,758 --> 00:23:50,103
And by that point,
there were even more girls.

380
00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:54,827
<font face="Microsoft Sans Serif">In that time, I saw at least
60 girls coming and going.

381
00:23:54,827 --> 00:23:56,793
At least.

382
00:23:56,793 --> 00:23:59,655
I was 20 when I was taken there.

383
00:23:59,655 --> 00:24:00,862
So, you see, I was lucky

384
00:24:00,862 --> 00:24:03,068
'cause I wasn't as young
as the other girls.

385
00:24:05,586 --> 00:24:09,482
It was just like a factory.

386
00:24:09,482 --> 00:24:11,310
<font face="Microsoft Sans Serif">He was running a machine,
and Ghislaine Maxwell

387
00:24:11,310 --> 00:24:13,137
was the one operating it.

388
00:24:15,172 --> 00:24:18,034
You know, people ask
why I went back.

389
00:24:18,034 --> 00:24:21,034
No one disobeyed Epstein.

390
00:24:23,758 --> 00:24:26,275
Before I was sent
home, he took me to his office

391
00:24:26,275 --> 00:24:29,275
and he told me that a woman
had accused him of rape,

392
00:24:29,275 --> 00:24:31,206
<font face="Microsoft Sans Serif">and he planted drugs
in her apartment

and had her sent to prison.

And then he said that he
had my family's name on a list.

395
00:24:37,551 --> 00:24:41,758
So I just did as I was told,
because I was petrified of him,

because of who he was.

there were numerous things
that were missing,

like security cameras
and hard drives to computers.

But there were certain things

that they were
able to find and seize,

<font face="Microsoft Sans Serif">like phone books
and message pads.

Those message pads included

<font face="Microsoft Sans Serif">put together what they felt</font>

476
00:30:22,793 --> 00:30:26,241
was a very solid case
to prosecute Jeffrey Epstein

477
00:30:26,241 --> 00:30:29,758
and then turned that over to the
state attorney in Palm Beach.

478
00:30:44,689 --> 00:30:48,310
There was a certain amount
of hope the feds would be able

479
00:30:48,310 --> 00:30:52,413
to expand this investigation
across the country,

and even to New York

So there was
a great deal of hope

that this would end up
with Jeffrey Epstein behind bars

And then, all of a sudden,
out of the clear blue,</font>

486
00:31:13,689 --> 00:31:15,896
I get a random call
in the middle of the day

487
00:31:15,896 --> 00:31:19,517
that Jeffrey Epstein's
going to be at the courthouse

488
00:31:19,517 --> 00:31:22,241
and he's going to
be giving a plea.

489
00:31:22,241 --> 00:31:26,103
No one had informed me
or my clients about this.

490
00:31:26,103 --> 00:31:27,586
No one had told
any of the victims

<font face="Microsoft Sans Serif">that there was a potential deal
in the works.

492
00:31:30,034 --> 00:31:33,586
It was rather shocking that,
at points during the plea,

493
00:31:33,586 --> 00:31:35,275
the lawyers actually
went up to the judge

494
00:31:35,275 --> 00:31:36,827
and had a private conference,

495
00:31:36,827 --> 00:31:39,965
where no one could hear
what they were talking about.

496
00:31:39,965 --> 00:31:42,586
<font face="Microsoft Sans Serif">I mean, there's that sinking
feeling, as a lawyer,

that something is going on now

498
00:31:44,862 --> 00:31:48,965
that's being hidden
from everyone else.

499

I've been practising law now
for 25, 26 years.

500
00:31:52,965 --> 00:31:56,551
I don't think I've ever seen
an arraignment like that before.

501
00:32:06,413 --> 00:32:09,034
<font face="Microsoft Sans Serif">Under this deal, he was supposed
to spend at least a year

502
00:32:09,034 --> 00:32:12,448
behind bars in the county lockup
here in Palm Beach.

503
00:32:12,448 --> 00:32:15,689
But, interestingly, we came to
learn that his lawyers

504
00:32:15,689 --> 00:32:17,689
applied for release
during the day

505
00:32:17,689 --> 00:32:21,793
so that he could go to an
office building and do business.

506
00:32:21,793 --> 00:32:23,068
<font face="Microsoft Sans Serif">He would stay the day there.</font>

507

He would get
catered lunches, meals.

508
00:32:26,103 --> 00:32:27,448
People would come and visit him.

509

Young girls would come,
other women.

510
00:32:29,586 --> 00:32:31,000
And then,
at the end of the day,

511
00:32:31,000 --> 00:32:33,241
he would then drive back
to the jail,

512
00:32:33,241 --> 00:32:35,482
<font face="Microsoft Sans Serif">where he would then
just sleep.

513
00:32:35,482 --> 00:32:39,103
This is a man who was supposed
to be behind bars for molesting

514
00:32:39,103 --> 00:32:43,068
and abusing
over 40 young girls.

515
00:32:43,068 --> 00:32:45,965
He was essentially
spending nights in jail,

516
00:32:45,965 --> 00:32:48,724
and that was about it.

517
00:32:48,724 --> 00:32:54,206
It was incredibly disheartening
at the time

518
00:32:54,206 --> 00:32:59,379
<font face="Microsoft Sans Serif">to have to explain
to my clients the extent

519
00:32:59,379 --> 00:33:02,206
to which the system
let them down.

520
00:33:08,965 --> 00:33:11,068
-He's very happy that his jail
sentence is over

and he can begin

-In addition to being
a society columnist,

523

it was a natural thing for me
to go into public relations,</font>

524
00:33:36,793 --> 00:33:39,724
because I knew
exactly what people wanted.

525
00:33:39,724 --> 00:33:43,206
They wanted to be
in the columns.

526
00:33:43,206 --> 00:33:45,448
They wanted to be in the papers.

527
00:33:45,448 --> 00:33:48,827
They wanted to be
in the glossy magazines.

528
00:33:48,827 --> 00:33:52,689
I knew exactly what they wanted
and I knew how to do it.

529
00:33:52,689 --> 00:33:55,137
<font face="Microsoft Sans Serif">And I would do that
for people -- and I still do.

530
00:33:55,137 --> 00:33:58,344
The problem is, sometimes,
these people get in trouble.

531
00:33:58,344 --> 00:34:04,275
After the conviction,
Jeffrey Epstein calls me.

532
00:34:04,275 --> 00:34:06,551
Oh, my God,
my office freaked out!

533
00:34:06,551 --> 00:34:07,793
You know, the girls
in my office are like,

534
00:34:07,793 --> 00:34:09,379
<font face="Microsoft Sans Serif">"Jeffrey Epstein's
on the phone."

535
00:34:09,379 --> 00:34:12,172
It was, like, embarrassing
to even get the call.

536
00:34:12,172 --> 00:34:13,931
So Jeffrey
wanted crisis management.

537
00:34:13,931 --> 00:34:16,896
You know, he wanted advice.

538
00:34:16,896 --> 00:34:21,448
So, you know, I put my tie on
and I trotted over to the house,

539
00:34:21,448 --> 00:34:23,068
because I wanted
to see the house.</font>

540
00:34:24,379 --> 00:34:29,896
This very grand house,
supposedly worth $77 million.

541
00:34:29,896 --> 00:34:33,379
And there's this
very grand foyer

542
00:34:33,379 --> 00:34:36,448
with a big, curving staircase.

543
00:34:36,448 --> 00:34:37,931
I did notice,
throughout the house,

544
00:34:37,931 --> 00:34:41,448
there were a lot
of very heavy velvet drapes.

545
00:34:41,448 --> 00:34:44,206
<font face="Microsoft Sans Serif">Like, better to keep out

546
00:34:44,206 --> 00:34:45,827
But out walks Jeffrey.

547
00:34:45,827 --> 00:34:51,551
So, we sat down, he asked me
what he should do,

548
00:34:51,551 --> 00:34:53,758
and I had no intention
of representing him

549
00:34:53,758 --> 00:34:54,862
and I never did.

550
00:34:54,862 --> 00:34:57,517
He never paid me.
I never took anything.

551
00:34:57,517 --> 00:35:02,137
<font face="Microsoft Sans Serif">He said to me, "Couri,
what I really don't want to do

552
00:35:02,137 --> 00:35:07,793
is have 'paedophile billionaire'
engraved on my tombstone."

553
00:35:07,793 --> 00:35:09,620
He said, "Every story starts out

554
00:35:09,620 --> 00:35:13,172
with 'paedophile billionaire
Jeffrey Epstein.'"

555
00:35:13,172 --> 00:35:15,896
In some cases, you can't do it.

556
00:35:15,896 --> 00:35:20,137
<font face="Microsoft Sans Serif">You simply can't explain,
you know, Mr. Weinstein,

557
00:35:20,137 --> 00:35:22,586
or Ghislaine or Jeffrey Epstein.

558
00:35:22,586 --> 00:35:23,931
I said, you know,

559
00:35:23,931 --> 00:35:30,482
it starts with really showing
contrition, confessing."

560
00:35:30,482 --> 00:35:33,241
I said, "Jeffrey, you know,
who better than the highest

561
00:35:33,241 --> 00:35:36,655
power on Earth --
in communication with God.</font>

562
00:35:38,413 --> 00:35:40,655
Why don't I get you an audience
with the Pope?"

563
00:35:42,931 --> 00:35:44,275
But, of course, you know,

564
00:35:44,275 --> 00:35:48,275
he's already
thought of it years ago.

565
00:35:48,275 --> 00:35:50,896
So, I said,
"Why don't you give money?

566
00:35:50,896 --> 00:35:52,586
There's an arts foundation,

567
00:35:52,586 --> 00:35:58,034
and people have given away lots
and lots of money in order to</font>

568
00:35:58,034 --> 00:36:01,241
sort of whitewash their images."

569
00:36:01,241 --> 00:36:04,137
So, Ghislaine, of course,
started her own charity,

570
00:36:04,137 --> 00:36:08,034
potentially or possibly
or maybe to help the oceans,

571
00:36:08,034 --> 00:36:11,000
but she really
was helping was herself.

572
00:36:13,137 --> 00:36:17,448
-But as Epstein and Maxwell
embarked on a charm offensive,

573
00:36:17,448 --> 00:36:21,896
<font face="Microsoft Sans Serif">two lawyers were unconvinced.</font>

574

They were digging behind
the public facade,

575
00:36:24,896 --> 00:36:28,448
and were staggered
by what they discovered.

-The scale of the
sex-trafficking operation

577
00:36:30,620 --> 00:36:32,931
was astronomical.

578

everywhere they went.

581
00:36:40,586 --> 00:36:43,517
They would do it in
New York, Florida.

582
00:36:43,517 --> 00:36:46,965
If they were travelling
overseas, they would do it.

583
00:36:46,965 --> 00:36:49,206
It was constant.
It never stopped.

594
00:37:37,482 --> 00:37:42,275
I am thinking that this is a
once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

595
00:37:45,172 --> 00:37:48,172
<font face="Microsoft Sans Serif">I'm being flown out to New York.</font>

596
00:37:50,206 --> 00:37:54,379
I would be met at the airport
with a driver,

597
00:37:54,379 --> 00:37:57,689
with my name on a sign.

598
00:37:57,689 --> 00:38:00,551
That was...

599
00:38:00,551 --> 00:38:03,241
I mean, that was thrilling,
you know?

600
00:38:05,482 --> 00:38:08,689
I'm to meet Miss Maxwell

<font face="Microsoft Sans Serif">The outside is beautiful,

602

I walk into this big,
beautiful room.

603
00:38:20,379 --> 00:38:24,862
I noticed a framed photo
on the wall of her

and ex-President Bill Clinton,
and I thought, you know, "Wow."

00:38:30,793 --> 00:38:36,344
And a few moments later,
out she comes.
