I went to an after-party

at a billionaire's house.

His name's Richie, of course.

Weird thing is, he doesn't
live at this house.

It's just a party house.

Richie told me
he wants to leave his wife,

but he's afraid he'll lose
everything in a divorce.

I know Richie is a client
and all,

but I can't help
falling for him.

He told me that he can't
be himself

when he's around anyone else
but me.

Even his wife.

I don't know what to do.

I found out the truth
about Richie.

I hope it's not true,
I really do.

Rachel didn't
kill herself. I can prove it.

Last night, one of her friends
from the club...

Larry, approached me.

And he told me he had something
to tell me about Rachel.

Until I called him,
and he hasn't answered yet.

But I'm betting that he's gonna
tell me something about Rachel

that proves that she didn't
commit suicide.

Good morning.
Thank you for coming.

Mom, what's going on?

Your mother called

what really happened to Rachel.

I mean, why else would he
talk to me?

at Richie Evans' place
last night

floating face down.

So, first my daughter,

And that's not enough?

I understand.

And that's why we came over

We'll stay on it.

Uh, Larry approached me too.

At the funeral service,
it was about Rachel.

And I didn't think
it was big deal.

I'm sorry.

You see? Larry knew something

that Richie doesn't want
anyone else to know.

We'd have to connect those dots.

Right now, I... I'm sorry.

It just makes sense, right?

Larry must've found out about it

and was trying to warn us.

So, Richie got rid of him
to cover it all up.

Well, there has to be
something else in here that

that can help us.

"The house." Yes. Okay.

Richie had this house that
he always throws parties at.

If Richie is responsible,

then there has to be a clue
somewhere in that house.

just find the address.

all the time.

Right. The club. Yes.
Yes. That's it.

Clubs need girls, and promoters

are the guys who supply them.

Promoters are like vultures

hanging around shopping malls,
coffee shops

But often times, they simply use

good old-fashioned social media.

pretty girls into the clubs

so that the guys spend a lot

better at that than Lolo.

he'll set up a meet-and-greet.

I was writing it all down.

"He" who? Richie?

Mickey.

It looks like her confused face.

Why don't I pick up where
the pages left off?

Yeah, I think
that's a good idea.

"I never wanted to know
the truth about what Mickey

was doing with Richie.

But I had my suspicions
when Richie sent

his right-hand man,
Larry, to pick me up

and bring me over
to his after-party.

I went along.
No questions asked.

I played dumb, kept quiet.

I was paid a lot of money
to party with Richie.

I'll admit it,
the money was extraordinary

and that first night
in the house,

we...

I knew he was married

and that I was insane

and that it was insane.

But there I was.

I've never done anything
like that before.

Ever.

But I kept going back.

I kept getting paid.

And I kept quiet.

Even though Richie tried to keep

what he was doing away from me

I saw things,

but I never asked him about it.

The money was too good."

I had something to tell you.
What was it?

I, uh...

"Then one day
he told me he loved me."

I love you.

"And I believed him."

I love you, too.

"Like a fool.

Because I did love him."

Gentlemen...

I was with Richie now.

I was his girl.

I wasn't getting paid anymore

but the parties at his house
continued.

And I kept quiet.

Mickey kept bringing
new bottle girls

to Richie's house.

They were lied to,
they were told

this was the way
to a modeling career.

Once they were in, they had
no reason to get out.

The money was too good.

Which is how these men were
able to get the girls high.

Made them vulnerable.

But still, I stayed quiet.

I stayed quiet
even when I found out

Lolo wasn't just a promoter.

He had a side deal with Mickey.

He brought girls in
from all over.

Russia, Mexico, Ukraine.

Mickey got them to work
as bottle girls at first.

That kept it legit.
He promised them a better life.

But Mickey was just weeding out
the vulnerable ones.

The desperate ones. The ones
hardest up for money.

Those are the ones
that he brought to the house.

And then we come into this house

and they were selecting
the girls

like fruit
from the grocery store.

They were paying him
for the girls.

They were paying Richie.

Most of them were drugged.

The guys didn't care.

God, it was disgusting.
It was so vile.

And this man that
I thought that I loved...

he was...

he was in charge of all of it.

When I finally confronted
Richie about it,

he lost his mind. I thought
he was going to kill me.

And he told me that he would
if I told anybody.

And then, when I told
him I was leaving him,

he said, "No, you're not.

You can't leave.
You're my girl.

You're not going anywhere."

Later that night, Larry,

who had started feeling bad
for me pulled me aside.

You see, I had been journaling
everything I was seeing.

Everything.
And Mickey found out.

So, of course, he told Richie.

Which meant I'd become
a problem for Richie.

Larry warned me that Richie
was going to kill me

that very night.

He told me I had to run

as soon as I could.

Of course, had Richie found
out Larry was texting me

all that info,
he would have killed us both.

I was terrified, Zoe.

I've never been that scared.

I was desperate.

I needed a miracle.

That's when I heard
somebody coming.

I thought it was Richie.

It wasn't.

Poor girl.

She overdosed.

It was horrible.

She was from Columbia, I think.

Died right there,
in front of me.

I knew Richie
would come for me soon.

phone back from the house.

Rachel's phone.

Yeah, Larry and I
had been texting

those last few days.

And he confirmed everything
about Richie.

Since he could track me
with the phone

I stashed it...

and ran.

It's all the evidence we need

to show what
Richie's been doing.

Isn't it all on the cloud?

You don't need
the actual device?

Richie got me that phone.

It's all in his account

and only a few select people

in a circle had that number.

Larry was one of them.

Which is how Richie found out

Larry was talking
to you and your mom

and Rachel, he read the texts.

So then, Richie really did
kill Larry.

Actually, it was his goon
that killed Larry.

Held his head under water.

Richie just watched.
