Original subtitles

hey, guys. It's me Maxine.

wish you guys were here to take care of me.

You know how much I hate to be alone.

Truth is roger and I broke up tonight.

Or maybe we're just taking a break.

I don't know.

All I know is he's out of my life.

And I feel relieved.

you guys are great.

I knew you guys would make me feel better.

One sec.

I'm back.

Hey, so it looks like I'm gonna be coming over.

One of my fans is creeping me out.

Okay. Yeah. Bye.

No. No!

No, please, no.

Fantastic.

Here we go. Here we go.

Smile.

Face forward.

Yes, yes, yes.

All right. Fantastic.

You're on fire right now, Kara.

That's right. Bring the hand back up.

Perfect, baby. Beautiful.

Stunning. Stunning.

You heard about Maxine?

Emily just sent me the link.

I... I can't believe it.

You two dated, didn't you?

A little while, yeah.

I don't suppose you know what happened.

The police haven't made a statement yet.

She was always so nice.

I don't understand who would wanna hurt her.

Don't know.

Dex, you gonna be okay?

I should, uh, write up a post or something.

- I'm so sorry. - Oh, thanks.

Oh, before I forget...

From today.

- You killed it. - Thanks.

You're welcome.

- Bye. - Bye.

hey. How it'd go?

the body of 22-year-old Maxine Madison,

A top influencer on the popular site, model fans,

Was found in her home.

Sources inside the LAPD tell tmi.

That a homicide unit was called in to investigate.

Modelfans claims to connect models and their fan base,

But has recently become synonymous.

With suggestive adult content.

The real tragedy here,

We have an epidemic of young women.

Who view self-exploitation on social media.

As a viable and legitimate career choice.

Now, I ask you, is it any wonder.

Someone whose whole life.

Is for the purpose of getting attention.

Could also attract unwanted attention as well, hmm?

Why can't they just leave this poor girl alone?

It's just a website, for crying out loud.

Bea, you didn't have to do all that.

I know the news is upsetting but you still have to eat.

- Thanks. - My pleasure.

- See you tomorrow. - Bye.

So any word back on that self-tape we did for that pilot?

Not yet.

But I do have an audition.

Tomorrow morning for another project.

- Oh, really? - uh-hmm.

Producer saw my demo.

And asked me to read in-person.

Oh, that's a big deal.

Who knows, maybe I'll finally be able to put model fans behind me.

And build a career that uses all my talents.

It'll happen, okay?

And once the dui expires, you'll get your license back.

And you won't have to take car services to all your auditions.

One day.

Well, meanwhile,

It does look like a certain someone has shot up.

In the subscriber rankings.

- Really? - Uh-hmm.

See for yourself.

You're in the top five.

And only one person had to die.

Oh, come on. It cannot all be attributed to that.

You know she and dex used to date?

Oh, model and photographer?

Color me shocked.

Well, he seemed genuinely upset.

I should post something in her memory.

Something to balance out all the crap.

They're saying about her.

Yeah. That's a good idea.

Okay. That is more than enough moping.

You know what? I have something that'll cheer you up.

- Fan mail. - anything good?

Let's see. Okay.

No. No. Ew. No.

ooh.

Okay. Here's something.

"my sweet Kara..."

Shut the front door.

One of my fans actually started a message.

With something other than "hey, hottie"?

I know, right?

Okay. Listen to this.

"your grace and charisma,

Along with your prodigious talents,

Have enchanted us all.

It's not merely your beauty that captivates me.

"But the essence of your being that deeply touches my soul."

A poet.

"I want to know you better."

And explore the potential of a connection.

That transcends the boundaries of fame and admiration.

I won't be without you.

"Blaze."

I won't be without you?

Yeah. He was doing okay until that, huh?

My first stalker.

- Great. - Well, you know what?

Not for long.

And blocked.

Don't you just love technology?

social media,

Which was supposed to be a great tool.

For connection and self-expression,

Has turned into a platform where privacy is compromised.

On a daily basis.

and where does all this lead?

therapy.

And I'm not kidding.

We're seeing an incredible uptick in anxiety,

Depression, not to mention, a profound sense of violation.

we have to learn.

To treat this new digital realm with caution and vigilance.

Shut up.

Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

I am a force to be reckoned with.

I am a force to be reckoned with.

I am a force to be reckoned with.

As a little girl, I was always told to conform,

To fit into a neat little box.

But society's expectations cannot contain me.

I've never been one to blend in.

I embrace my imperfections,

My heartache, my pain.

And so I vow to speak up.

To use my words as weapons.

To challenge the very...

Yeah. Okay.

- Oh, that's good. - I'm almost finished.

Let's just skip to the part where you take your shirt off.

I'm sorry?

Your shirt.

Is there a problem?

I just...

I thought this was an independent film.

It is.

"klassy Kara."

What do you think your two million followers.

Really wanna see?

Shakespeare?

Mamet?

Look, do you know how many girls are coming in to audition today?

In that case, don't let me take up any more of your time.

Next.

Oh, please. It was one audition.

I'm never going to be taken seriously as an actress.

If I do projects like that.

Kara, I've been trying to tell you this for a long time.

You're not gonna be considered for those type of roles.

Those types of roles?

You mean serious, legitimate parts?

Kara, did you even look at the list I sent you?

Why don't we work on one of those roles?

Music video babe?

Dead woman in alley? Are you serious?

And you need to be realistic, okay?

Producers and streamers are not scouring model fans.

Looking for their next star.

All you gotta do is get me in the room.

I keep trying to tell you, you're not getting in the room.

You're not even getting in the building!

Then maybe it's time I consider new representation.

You know what?

You're right.

We should have parted ways a long time ago.

Wait.

You're dropping me?

good luck, Kara.

Bobby, please. Let me just...

hey, everyone.

Having another bad day today.

I mean, I was already upset about Maxine and then...

Well, I had a bad audition.

And my agent dumped me.

But you know what they say, what doesn't kill you...

So I'm not going to give up.

I'm going to keep fighting until I get a role.

That can show everyone what I can really do.

So I just wanna say thank you to each and every one of my fans.

For your encouragement and support.

You all mean so much to me.

and I'm going to be thinking about you tonight.

When I go to the opening of la's newest nightspot, locomotive.

- Kara! - Kara!

Kara! Right here. Right here.

- step across. - Kara, over here!

Any thoughts on what happened to Maxine?

Kara, over here.

Well, how does it feel now that you've taken her place.

- On the top five? - Hey, man.

Can you just let her grieve the loss of a friend in peace?

Show some more leg while you're "grieving".

- Come on. - Okay. Okay.

Kara!

- Kara! Come on! - thank you, Kara.

- Pink lady. - tequila.

- Hey. - Come on.

- I missed this. - I missed you.

I can't wait till you actually come to a game.

You can't?

I don't like traveling alone all the time.

You could get a dog.

Keep him in your gym duffle.

- I'm serious. - Me too.

The guys in the dugout would love a little pomeranian.

Come on, Kara.

Come on the road with me.

You know I can't.

What, models aren't allowed.

To have boyfriends now?

I want to maintain the illusion.

Of being available.

You've already got a lot of guys.

Following you on your dumb site.

A boyfriend is not gonna change that.

That "dumb site" is what pays my bills.

While I get my acting career off the ground.

It even lets me keep Emily on payroll.

To help manage my profile.

So I have more free time to spend with you.

My agent renegotiates my contract this year.

I already make good money, but after the season I'm having,

I'll be making more than enough for the both of us.

Wait. You think I'm just gonna drop everything.

And let you take care of me?

What's wrong with that?

What if I don't wanna be taken care of?

What if I wanna be able to take care of myself?

Let's be real here.

Every waitress from here to tarzana.

Has a headshot in their bag right now.

Wow.

You really believe in me that much?

Oh, hey, so... So that's it?

You're just gonna do the whole model pout thing now?

Just stop.

I think you should be a little more appreciative,

- You know that? - Excuse me?

There's hundreds of girls out there who would kill.

To be standing where you are right now.

Well, good for you.

Maybe one of them would love to go to all your games.

We belong together, Kara.

When are you gonna understand that?

- You're mine. - Gabe, you're scaring me.

If you leave right now, this is over.

- You understand me? - Gabe...

Do you understand me?

Let me out.

You want this footage to end up on tmi?

Please, let me out.

You'll be sorry.

gosh. What a self-centered jerk!

I honestly don't know what I ever saw in him.

Well, six-two, broad shoulders,

Abs for days.

You know what I mean.

He just doesn't get that I'm in control of my life, not him.

Don't worry. He will be the one who's sorry.

I don't know.

"you see that girl up there on stage,

Winning the Oscar for best actress?

I used to go out with her.

Now, what kind of motor oil would you like for your car?"

- You're bad. - I know.

Trust me, somewhere out there,

There's a guy who will not only appreciate your hard work.

And dedication, but who'll encourage your career,

Who'll jump to his feet,

Applauding proudly when your name.

Shows up on screen at your first big premiere.

"and Kara woods as dead woman in alley."

Well, we all gotta start somewhere.

so you're not going to send an officer?

Well, like I said, it was a message.

I mean, I could send you the photo he attached.

I just thought since you are the police.

You could do something.

Yeah. Bye.

all right.

Give me a three-quarter turn.

Yeah. Towards me.

Leg pointed out.

Right. Good.

Okay. Arch your back.

Give me some energy. Come on.

Look alive. Look alive.

Yup. Just like that.

Let's try some on the chair, yeah?

- Yeah. Okay. - Go ahead.

All right. Here we go.

Right there.

Let me help you.

How about we take this leg here,

- Put it here. - Uh-hmm.

And then we're gonna move you back.

Lay back.

Good. Very good.

Let me get your arms.

Nice.

Okay. You're good.

- You all right? - Uh-hmm.

Uh-huh. Very nice.

Okay.

Okay.

Here we go. Come on, Kara.

come on. Give me some more life, baby.

Come on. Kara.

Kara, I need...

Sorry.

I just needed a second. Um...

Okay.

I'm fine.

You know...

If you're gonna make it in this world,

You're gonna need to learn how to lie better.

"I'm never giving up until the day you're mine."

What is this?

Emily and I blocked him twice and he keeps coming back.

Did Maxine ever mention someone doing anything like this?

Not to me.

Have you talked to the police?

Yeah.

They said they're "evaluating the situation".

just ignore him.

I'm sure eventually he'll wander off.

And find someone else to bother, all right?

Yeah. Maybe.

Why don't we call it a day, hmm?

Did we get what we needed?

We got enough.

Do you want me to hang around, keep you company?

No. I'll be fine.

- you sure? - Yeah.

Okay.

All right.

no messages from him today.

oh, good.

But I still think we should get you some good security.

I've been checking out some cyber security influencers.

- And I... - that's weird.

what?

I just got an email from a company called fortitech.

Offering me free cyber security for six months.

They say it's because of my model fans ranking.

Oh, yeah. The ceo is one of the influencers

I was looking at. He's super cute too.

At fortitech, we understand the importance.

Of building a strong digital presence.

While keeping your personal information secure.

That's why our team of security experts.

Use state-of-the-art technology to detect.

And prevent cyber attacks,

Keeping your online reputation intact.

Our vigilance and expertise means that you can rest easy,

Knowing you are always protected.

And nothing is more valuable than peace of mind.

- Not bad. - And nothing better than free.

Yeah. I'll do it.

Great. Call me later?

Sure thing.

I could tell something was bothering you,

So I made your favorite.

You're the best.

Is this about Gabriel?

About a lot of things.

Hmm.

You know, when I was around your age,

There was this guy.

Who was friends with a bunch of my friends.

Who made it known how much he liked me.

Well, of course, be a. You're a catch.

I don't know about that.

This guy was incredibly good-looking.

Like brad pitt gorgeous.

oh.

All the girls were clearly jealous.

But you didn't like him?

Uh-uh.

Swore like a sailor, smoked like a chimney.

you couldn't have paid me.

The point is you have to do what's right for you,

Not what other people think you should do.

You're lucky you grew up before social media.

True,

But this head is full of a lot of good sense.

You'll figure it out.

Thanks, be a.

I'll be in the kitchen if you need me.

- Thanks you. - Of course.

- Hi. - Hi.

I wanted to personally welcome you.

It's nice to meet you.

Klassy Kara...

In the flesh.

Are you one of my fans?

Well, I don't visit model fans,

But social influencers are a growth market.

For us right now.

I read about you in tmi.

Then you've heard of Maxine Madison?

And you're worried whatever happened to her.

Was because of her fame.

And the same thing could happen to you?

What's this?

A homicide report.

Oh, my god.

I tend to throw around buzzwords like risk management,

Data protection, and threat mitigation,

But at the end of the day,

It's really all just information,

Access to it and how to use it wisely.

That's what we do here.

As I always say, the internet can be a fantastic tool.

Or a dangerous weapon,

It just depends who's sitting behind the keyboard.

When you say "weapon"...

Well, let's take you for example.

What about me?

Let's see.

Kara woods. Twenty-four.

Born in worcester, Massachusetts.

Graduated high school with a 3.5 gpa.

Planning to study at um ass dartmouth,

But you met a talent scout who convinced you to move.

To los Angeles and become an actress.

He ended up scamming you for a bogus acting class,

Which is where you met Maxine,

Who introduced you to model fans.

And while you still audition as much as you can,

Your main source of income is that site.

Wow. Okay.

Oh, and your license is suspended.

Because of a dui but you tell people.

That you take driving services.

Because you don't like looking for parking.

You rent a house in the hills and you have a housekeeper.

Named Beatrice.

that was one hour's worth of research.

Imagine how much time this, uh

"rocket" has had.

Great.

The good news is you're here now,

And my company can protect that data.

- How? - I'll scrub it.

And what I can't have removed, I'll encrypt or protect.

With a firewall that not even the pentagon could get through.

Seriously?

Seriously.

I got a stack of subpoenas to prove it.

With all you'll be doing for me,

It seems like I should have to pay.

Well, if you're happy with the service,

I just hope you spread the word.

- It's good business. - Of course.

And cost isn't the challenge in a case like yours.

- Thank you. - Uh-hmm.

- What do you mean? - Well,

We all know what model fans really is.

You mean a platform that allows creators to share.

And monetize content?

Explicit content.

It's interesting how people are quick to judge women.

For expressing their sexuality.

But don't bat an eye when men do it.

I guess I just hold myself to a certain moral standard.

And it's reflected in my company.

I didn't come here to be morally policed.

I wasn't trying to offend.

I just was trying to point out.

That the nature of model fans' content.

Invites a certain security risk.

More risk than a ceo of a major company?

I find that hard to believe.

It's different.

I'm an entrepreneur, Cody,

Not a porn star.

I don't meet up with people.

And I don't film myself having sex.

I model... On my terms.

Now, that may offend your moral standards,

But I refuse to apologize for it.

Thank you for your time.

"empower" a brand new energy drink.

Created specifically for women who lead busy and active lives.

- packed with all... - feel good?

Natural ingredients and essential vitamins.

Empower provides a refreshing burst of energy.

Without the crash.

Associated with more traditional energy drinks.

- What about flavor? - our tests.

Have shown that our target demographic.

Prefers fruity flavors.

Strawberry, raspberry...

- ... mango. - Sorry, I thought I silenced it.

We're looking for web-based personalities.

Such as yourself to help us build.

Credibility and trust...

...with a highly-engaged and motivated audience.

not sure what's going on here.

Emily?

Are we interrupting something?

Uh, no, it's nothing.

Kara?

I'm so sorry. I obviously just got hacked.

Oh.

Sorry. Where were we?

you said you're gonna sign up for security.

I know. But I went fortitech and the ceo was rude.

Okay. Well, who cares if the hot ceo has bad manners?

- We need security. - I know.

and we needed that sponsorship deal.

If we're gonna continue to grow your online profile,

We need some real marketing muscle.

And that comes from landing a big client.

Then we'll find someone else.

It's not that easy.

A lot of companies don't wanna deal with model fans.

- I know. - look,

I'm trying as hard as I can.

But it doesn't all just happen spontaneously, you know?

Managing a social media presence is a full-time job.

And hell, sometimes it feels like it's my whole life.

Please. We need to nip this in the bud.

Before it gets any worse.

Okay.

- Thank you for coming. - Yeah. I was, uh,

Surprised to hear from you.

Thank you.

Look, before we get started, I owe you an apology.

That's not necessary.

No, actually, I think it is.

I was out of line.

And I made generalizations about you.

That were completely unfair.

I'm sorry.

And I want you to know, I'm gonna use every tool.

- At my disposal to help you. - Thank you.

Okay. So this guy hacked his way.

Into your secured video conference?

- Seems so. - well, the good news is,

Just because the company didn't take security precautions,

Doesn't mean that we can't.

You got the information I sent?

I did. I did. I've reviewed all of your messages.

And blocked anyone that seemed problematic.

As for your friend rocket, I've scrubbed his dms,

Cancelled his subscription to model fans,

And reported him to his isp.

For violating his terms of service.

He won't be a problem anymore.

Really? That easy?

Here's the thing. Oftentimes with cyber-stalking,

The person is someone known to the victim.

So you're saying this guy.

Might not be some random fan from the site after all?

Could you think of anyone that have a reason to bother you,

A rival model or a jealous ex maybe?

there's a guy... Well, was a guy.

It was a fling, mostly.

So it wasn't serious?

Not at first, but then...

I wanna focus on my career and he didn't understand that.

Would you say it ended amicably?

Not really, no.

What's his name? I'll check him out.

Gabriel walker.

The baseball player?

You've heard of him.

Didn't he get arrested last year?

It was something about a fight in a club?

Yeah. Fan of another team threw a drink in his face.

Hmm. Yeah. With a history like that,

I would definitely say he's a suspect, so.

We'll keep an eye on him.

Right. Thank you.

Kara, it's me.

We have a problem.

- Hey! - who the hell are you?

How did you get in here?

Well, the door was open.

- Right. - seriously.

The place was like this when I got here.

Whoa. Get back.

Wait, are you "blaze," or "fireball,".

Or is it "rocket" now?

I honestly can't keep track.

Who?

I'll ask you again.

Why are you in my apartment?

I-I just...

I just thought that Kara might be with you.

Get out!

Wait.

How'd you get my address?

Uh, klassy kara's konnoisseurs.

Here.

you've been doxxed.

Internet slang for your personal information's been made public.

This is insane.

there's gotta be something we can do.

To help her out for now.

Get them to take the information down?

That's the thing, once it's out, it's out.

And even when I get the sites remove the information,

It'll be impossible to find all the sites.

That have reposted the information,

Social media posts.

There's no way to fully remove it.

So I'm gonna have to move? Great.

That's not necessary.

She doesn't really have to move, does she?

This guy's done a real number on her.

Just tell me, when does all this end?

When I catch him.

And when will that be?

That's impossible to predict.

But I... I'm trying.

Look, you can stay with me for a few days.

Few days? You heard him.

We have no idea how long it's gonna take.

I know but I feel terrible.

Please, what can I do?

I don't know. Maybe I'll just get a hotel or something.

- I'll pay for it. - that's not necessary.

Please, em, just let me help.

It's okay. Just give me a couple of days.

I just need to clear my head.

Of course. Whatever you need.

You'll be all right?

No. But I'll manage.

Just promise you'll let me know how you're doing?

Of course.

She'll be okay.

Can you guarantee that?

Let me catch him, then yeah.

Did you have a chance to look into Gabriel?

Started the process.

It's hard to get that information.

From an internet service provider without a court order.

And, and that could take weeks, if not longer.

But luckily, the service provider.

Owes me a favor, so.

With any luck, we should have it within a week.

Great.

Oh, I should get to work. I'll be in touch though, okay?

Okay.

Do you need anything?

- No. I'll be okay. - Okay.

I promise I'm gonna take care of you and Emily, all right?

Thank you.

you've reached the los Angeles.

Police department.

Please hold for the next available dispatch.

hey, is everything okay?

- there's someone here. - at your house?

I tried calling the police but.

no need. I'm close by.

Just make sure your doors are locked.

okay. Please hurry.

hey, you've reached Emily.

Leave me a message and I'll get back to you.

As soon as I can.

Hi, sorry to bother you.

I just saw some guy standing outside my house.

Cody's on his way, but well...

I'm freaking out.

Please call me.

whoa, whoa!

I saw someone out back.

Okay. Just stay here.

I couldn't find him. Whoever it was.

I can't believe he found my phone number.

Not too subtle, is he?

The number is blocked.

Here, let me see.

And then it unblocks the number.

I think I hear something.

it's right there.

Oh, my god!

This is gabriel's phone.

I just don't understand.

Why would he do something like that?

He's probably angry you turned him down.

He's a professional athlete.

I'm guessing rejection isn't something he's used to.

- Hello? - Ms. Woods?

- yes? - Thank you for your patience.

This is detective Parker.

Hi, detective.

you called and spoke to my partner.

About your ex-boyfriend, Gabriel walker,

You have reason to believe he's been stalking you?

Yes, we, um, we found his phone outside my house.

And I saw someone outside watching me.

And you felt certain it was him?

Well, it was dark but it was definitely a man.

Hi, this is Cody Johnson from fortitech cyber security.

I'm in charge of ms. Woods online security.

And my client has been waiting for a response.

From the police for hours.

Now Kara said she saw someone here tonight.

And no one is taking this seriously.

But I wanna know if you've looked into Gabriel walker.

Yes. We looked and mr. Walker has an alibi.

really? And you verified that.

With more than one source?

Yeah, we have about 45,000 sources.

Who saw mr. Walker score the winning run tonight.

That good enough for you?

Now please put ms. Woods back on.

Hi, I'm here.

it is possible that your boyfriend.

Dropped his cell phone last time he was over.

And the figure you saw was a teenager.

Or a nosy neighbor.

But there's a guy that's been stalking me online.

- And I just... - rocket?

- Yeah. - just because.

A guy's creepy online doesn't mean.

He's gonna act on it in real life.

They usually don't.

But look, I'm gonna come over tomorrow with my partner,

We'll gonna take a look around, if that makes you feel better?

Yeah. Thank you.

A dead end.

Not necessarily.

How many people knew about you and gabriel's relationship?

Not many. We kept it pretty quiet. Why?

Because whoever did this,

Went through a lot of trouble to set him up.

Yeah.

I'm gonna get this back to the office,

See if I can find anything on it.

With any luck, they've left some kind of digital footprint.

- You gonna be okay? - Yeah.

You're more than welcome to join me.

If you don't wanna be alone.

I appreciate that but...

It's been a rough night.

I just need to relax and go to sleep.

Let me know when you hear from the detectives.

I will. And thank you.

Great.

I'm coming.

Coming!

Who is it?

police. Get back.

show us your hands. Stop!

- stair is clear. - hallway is clear.

kitchen's clear.

Get down on the ground. Get down.

Get down on the ground.

Get down!

Spread out your arms and legs!

Now interlace your fingers behind your head!

Is there anybody else in the house?

Is there anybody else in the house?

No!

people who make false swat calls.

Usually cover their tracks.

But we'll look into it.

It's gotta be him... Whoever was here last night.

We looked around the house and didn't find anything.

I checked the doors and windows, they're all secure.

Have you post anything on your site profile lately.

- That might provoke or upset? - Uh, excuse me,

I'm in charge of ms. Woods' security.

- Are you okay? - I think so.

- Have you talked to your lawyer? - No.

Can we help you?

Oh, I think the police have done quite enough already, don't you?

Excessive force? Entering without a warrant?

Probable cause...

Probable ignorance.

If you would like to make a formal complaint.

Then we can take you down at the station with us.

- Mr. Johnson, I presume. - Uh-hmm.

Uh, and I'd like to see a copy of the swatting call.

get me a subpoena.

I'll even throw in the transcripts.

These are the pictures I posted last week.

They're pretty standard.

Are we done here?

We? Uh, I don't know.

Detective, are we done?

Thank you, ms. Woods.

We will be in touch.

We look forward to it.

You sure you're okay?

pizza delivery!

You know, you don't have to stay.

I can easily go to a hotel or something.

And miss this magnificent feast?

Sans anchovies, per the lady's request.

Hmm.

Will I ever feel safe again alone in my own house?

I get it.

It's scary having someone poking through your personal life.

But... We will get him.

- You can't know that. - Yeah.

Fortitech has a pretty strong success rate.

You're supposed to protect me online,

Not be my personal bodyguard.

I just wanna make you feel better.

You do?

Yeah.

Is it working?

Maybe.

Who would have thought that in offering me free security.

You'd end up having to watch me all the time.

It's my pleasure.

It's a little ironic that in order to find a stalker,

I had to hire a stalker.

Hire a stalker.

That's good. I should use that.

You hungry?

I'm starving.

Are you sure I can't make up the guest bed for you?

Yes. The couch is fine.

Besides, I can't keep an eye on the house.

If I'm sleeping, can I?

Got it.

Tomorrow I can upgrade your security system,

So that way we can monitor it remotely, okay?

Thank you.

You're welcome.

Goodnight, Kara.

Goodnight.

Cody?

Cody?

Cody, are you there?

Cody.

Cody, wake up.

Kara, wake up.

Hey, are you okay?

Having a bad dream?

Yeah. I'm okay.

I just wanted you to know,

I have one of my technicians downstairs,

He's installing more cameras.

Oh, and I figure you might be hungry,

So I made breakfast for whenever you're ready.

Just, no rush.

- Hello. - Hey.

So we are installing at all points of entry.

And smart locks.

Plus, we have glass break sensors on all the windows.

And the best part is, you can view the live feed.

Any time through the app.

And who has access to all this?

You're asking if it's possible for someone to hack in.

And view without your knowledge?

Is it?

Well, there's two-factor authentication at the login,

Aes encryption on the video feed,

And I'm installing a vpn on your network.

I have no idea what any of that means.

It means, no.

Not possible.

This looks delicious.

I'm impressed.

Not every bachelor survives on cold pizza and beer.

What, you never touch the stuff?

No. No, no, no.

Not since last Wednesday.

So I ran our friend's aliases.

To see if we could get a clue into their true identity.

And?

Blaze, fireball, and rocket.

Happen to be characters from a popular video game.

Called fire storm.

So all we've got on this guy.

Is that he has an interest in a video game?

And presumably, our friend doesn't live at home.

With his or her parents.

Wait, it might not be guy?

At this point, I'm not taking anything off the table.

well, between that and all this food,

There's not much room left on the table.

That was funny. Are you always this funny?

Or is it just when your life's in danger?

I'm funny, huh?

You're hilarious.

I've been called worse.

And it's a shame,

Because I think if people took the time to get to know you,

And I mean really know you, not just klassy Kara,

They'd be pleasantly surprised by what they find.

Present company included?

Yes.

Anything?

No, it's just spam.

It's funny, I haven't heard from Emily at all.

It's only been a couple of days.

Didn't she say she needed a couple of days.

Yeah, but it's not like her not to answer.

My phone calls or texts.

She probably just wanted to unplug.

Right.

Hey. I'm sure she's fine.

In my line of work, no news is usually good news.

True.

So how long is the technician gonna be here for?

Probably another hour.

But if you've got somewhere to be,

I can lock up when it's done.

I have my photographer coming by at 10:00.

Really? That could be fun.

To watch you work, I mean.

Who said I'm gonna let you watch?

Relax. My interest is purely professional.

Uh-huh. I'm gonna go get ready.

Okay.

nice. Beautiful.

beautiful. Yes.

All right. Hold that right there, and...

Beautiful.

Look at me.

Beautiful.

I got those. How about, uh,

- We do a little warrior? - Yeah.

let's go.

You are my favorite model, Kara.

All right. Let's go, hip... What.

Are you working out?

Rock-solid abs, girl.

Come on now. All right.

I'm gonna curve right here.

Let's bring you right here.

Very nice.

Okay. Let's keep going.

Perfect. Yeah.

Good job, Kara. There we go.

Yup.

Kara, is everything okay?

Yeah. I'm fine.

Kara, this is gonna take forever.

If he's out here distracting you.

He can stay. I want him here.

I'll stand right here.

Okay.

All right.

and now, you can use the track pad.

And the camera will pan over just like that.

- There. - Got it.

So how well do you know that guy?

Dex? Why?

I didn't like the way he was touching you.

He's a photographer.

That's how most of them are... Unfortunately.

And so that makes it okay?

Hmm. He takes good pictures.

Just be careful.

You think he's the guy?

Like I said, I'm not taking anything off the table.

Looks like we are all set here.

Thanks. This is all a big help.

Well, that's what I'm here for.

If you need anything else, just call me.

Thanks.

Go for dex.

hi, it's Kara.

Oh, hey. What's up?

My ranking, it's plunging.

Well, it's been forever since you posted to the site.

It's been a few days.

You know how fast this world moves.

You gotta be posting five, six times a day minimum.

I know, I know. It's just... I'm trying to be careful.

I mean, the stalker had my house swatted the other day.

Wow. That's major.

Maybe it wouldn't be a bad idea if you, you know...

Took a break?

You mean give up?

I mean, take a break.

Time for yourself.

No.

I've worked too hard to build up a following.

If I give up now, then I'm letting him win.

All right.

when I get off the phone, I'll post.

The exercise photos that you took.

Of me the other day.

I'll take selfies while making breakfast.

You could try a live stream.

Do something different this time.

That's a great idea, dex.

Guys love a live show.

If you want to build your base,

It's the best and fastest way.

it's you!

Are you talking to someone else?

Oh, sorry, dex. I got to go.

Sure, I'll be around.

I'll call you later.

All right. Ciao.

Man, you scared me.

How did you get in?

Smart lock using the app.

Just didn't wanna wake you up.

that was dex on the phone?

Did you know Maxine had a restraining order against him?

Who?

Dex?

Penal code 646.9.

Any person who willfully, maliciously,

And repeatedly follows or harasses.

Another person and who makes a credible threat.

Is guilty of the crime of stalking.

Oh, my god.

now, that doesn't mean he did anything to her,

But I'd feel a helluva lot better.

If you stayed away from him for now.

And stayed offline.

No.

I can't do that, stay offline.

Kara, come on. I'm trying to do my job.

I know...

But keeping up my profile.

And my following is my job.

If I stop showing up online, then I'll lose everything.

Okay. Can you at least let me oversee your profile.

For the time being until Emily gets back?

That way we can make sure you're safe.

Okay. Just until Emily is back.

I understand.

First thing I need you to help me oversee.

Is getting my follower count back up.

All right.

Do you have something in mind?

finished scanning the rootkit.

No signs of malware or spyware.

I have no idea what that all means but it sounds impressive.

It means that we are all set.

Great.

You look beautiful.

Thank you.

I dm'd all my subscribers so they know I'm going live.

I'll stay.

No.

I need to do this on my own.

Break a leg.

I'd prefer not to.

Hey, guys.

So... It's been a long few days.

And I know I haven't been posting.

As much as I usually do.

Just been dealing.

With some life stuff over here.

But I have missed you all,

So I thought I'd give you a special show today.

What are you doing?

Oh, I missed you guys too.

I guess I don't need this skirt anymore.

- What the hell? - Enough.

And you get to decide that.

Kara, you are better than this.

- "better" than this? - You're smart.

You're beautiful. You have a good understanding of business.

That's right I do.

That's why I'm in charge, Cody!

No one else.

It's my body, it's my content.

And the financial stability means everything to me.

Now, turn it back on and get out.

Have fun.

Hey!

- What are you doing here? - Saw your show.

- Yeah? - I'm just curious.

You can do that live stream for thousands.

Of complete strangers but you can't call me back?

What are you talking about? I've been calling you.

- You've been ghosting me. - What?

You haven't replied to any of my calls or messages.

What messages? What calls?

I swear I haven't gotten anything!

Look, you don't believe me.

I thought you weren't messaging me back.

Because you needed space.

I don't understand.

My phone said you'd read the messages.

I promise...

It wasn't me.

Then, who was it?

Kara?

Kara? Are you here?

yeah, once we get the native deal over the line,

I don't see there being any issue with the...

- Hello? - ... foreclosures going.

Ahead of schedule.

Yeah, just give me that contract by the end of the day.

Now, I should be back at the office very soon.

- I think we get that deal... - what are you doing?

I gotta go.

you scared me.

I said, what are you doing?

Oh, I was just installing some new equipment.

That's odd because she told me this morning.

That she hired someone new.

Oh, she changed her mind.

If I call her, she'll confirm that?

I don't see why not.

Thank you.

Bea, I'm home.

Bea?

Bea?

Bea?

Bea?

Her purse was gone but her car was still there.

Maybe a friend picked her up.

It's just not like her to leave the groceries out like that.

it could have been an emergency.

- She had to go quickly... - and her phone is off.

She always has it on so that I can reach her.

Look, we understand the circumstances are unusual.

But there's no evidence of foul play.

if there's no sign of her by tomorrow morning,

We'll start calling around.

By tomorrow?

It could be too late.

With missing persons, we have to wait

24 hours for them to show up,

Because they usually do.

I just... I have a feeling.

This has something to do with my stalker.

Maybe he did something to her.

We've found that guys that stalk women.

- Like you online... - women like me?

You put yourself out there for men to look at.

And eventually, one of them gets obsessed.

Usually, the stalking stays online.

And eventually falls away.

Was Maxine being stalked?

That case is still under investigation.

What about the restraining order?

What restraining order?

The one she got for the photographer? Dexter?

Has anybody checked out his alibi?

Cody found it online and showed it to me.

We haven't seen anything that suggest that she had.

A restraining order out against that man.

obviously, they're misinformed.

They're misinformed? They're the police!

They make mistakes all the time.

Do you wanna see a copy of the report again for yourself?

Why did you ghost Emily?

- What? - She's been trying to reach me.

All week! Why didn't you say anything?

I don't know what you're talking about.

We've both been texting and calling each other.

And neither of us received the other's messages.

Maybe there was a glitch in the firewall I set up.

Looks like we have a little problem.

What kind of problem?

I can fix it right now.

But it looks like my coding.

Cast the net too wide.

And blocked some of your contacts.

I'll send you the messages as we speak.

Who else has been trying to contact me?

Kara, I'm sorry.

But it's better to be too careful.

Instead of not careful enough.

Besides, maybe it's good.

You got some time on your own to...

Take a look at your life.

What are you, my therapist?

- I'm suggesting... - what?

Maybe you could surround yourself.

With some better people.

Emily is my best friend.

She left you.

When you needed her the most.

I think that you deserve better.

I know what I deserve.

So, you know what?

Stay away from me.

there it is. There it is.

thank you.

Oh, easy, buddy. You on the list?

I'm with her.

I don't know you, man.

I'm her security.

Then you gotta get on the list.

I'm gonna get my card.

- Just this once. - Thanks.

Hey! Pretty good.

- Hey, girl! - Hey! How are you?

I'm so sorry about be a. What did the cops say?

- They're investigating. - And Cody?

I told him to stay away.

I'm gonna put towels on all of the cameras.

Wait, you think he's rocket?

No, I mean, he was there when I saw someone.

I just think he's way overprotective.

yeah, and obsessed.

It started out so normal though.

I thought we could actually date.

Yeah. Well, that's not gonna happen.

Yeah.

- I missed you. - I missed you.

Kara! Kara! Hey!

Hey!

What are you doing here?

I've been wanting to call you.

I got a new phone. I lost my contacts.

Look. Why don't we... why don't we go somewhere and chat?

We can talk here.

I've been thinking about what you said.

And you're right.

I shouldn't have been like that.

You're... You're independent.

And you know what, I like it.

- Really? - So, if you wanna have a career.

With your whole modeling thing,

I'll play along.

Play along?

You know what I mean.

Uh-huh. You mean to be condescending.

- We need some time alone. - Ow! Stop.

- Just five minutes. - No, thank you.

Hey, buddy! Touch her again.

- I swear to god. - stop it!

Stop! Have you lost your mind?

- You're not safe here. - Yeah, with you here, I'm not.

- You hired me to protect you. - And now, you're fired.

- Effective immediately. - Kara.

Somebody get this man away from me.

Hey!

Is there a problem here?

No. No problem.

I was just leaving.

Are you all right?

are you okay?

If this is what it takes to get you to come over,

I'd hate to see what it takes to get you to spend the night.

you might have to lose a limb for that.

No jokes. Please.

Listen, there's something I wanna know.

You said you got a new phone?

Yeah. I lost my old one. Why?

The other night,

I saw a guy outside my house. Cody came over...

Whoa! Cody?

What? The guy from the club?

Yeah.

Well, we found your phone outside my house.

Wait. So he stole my phone?

you, dex, Cody, I don't know who to trust anymore.

No, maybe he's been the one.

Stalking you this whole time.

You need to go to the police.

Every time I get in touch with them, they blow me off.

They say they're still investigating.

cody's possessive and jealous.

But I'm not certain he's the stalker.

Well... You can stay here.

I'll protect you.

I already told him to get lost.

Hopefully, he leaves me alone now.

Look,

I know I made a mistake.

but you can trust me.

I swear.

You've worked hard and it wasn't fair of me.

To ask you to give that up.

The truth is, I'm...

I'm miserable without you, Kara.

I'm willing to do whatever it takes to get you back.

Because you're worth it.

You mean that?

Absolutely.

hi. This is Kara. I'm not around right now,

So please leave a message.

All right. Coming.

- What are you doing here? - Is she here?

Hey! It's none of your business.

- She spend the night? - None of your business.

Why are you playing games with her?

- Sorry. Didn't she fire you? - Yeah. She didn't mean it.

Sounded pretty certain to me.

You don't deserve her.

I'm sorry?

You think I don't know about you?

About the other girls you're in touch with?

Monique? Eva?

Yeah. I'm guessing Kara doesn't.

Just like I'm guessing she doesn't know about the text.

You sent Jacqueline 20 minutes ago.

Asking what color underwear she had on.

You hacked my phone?

Yeah. I'd back up if I were you.

You're gonna come to my house and threaten me?

Huh?

You don't deserve her.

She's mine.

And I won't be without her.

- hey. - Hey!

Come on in.

So I got your message. What happened?

Cody.

- What do you mean? - I mean, he came into my house.

Wanted to know where you were.

- Did you tell him? - hell no.

The guy's a weirdo.

He said he "wouldn't be without you."

Wait.

Are you sure that's what he said?

Yeah. Why?

Oh, my god!

He set this whole thing up.

Set me up from the very beginning.

God, I feel so stupid!

I mean, you could tell he was overprotective and jealous.

But how could you have known he was the stalker?

You've got to go to the police now.

Yeah. I can't wait to tell them that the guy I hired.

To watch me was really watching me.

That detective is gonna laugh me out of the station.

She already finds me ridiculous.

I have an idea.

How about we do the work for them and expose Cody?

Let the whole world see what a creep he is.

And how do you propose we do that?

We're going to let him do it for us.

Hi, boys.

I haven't exactly been feeling like myself lately.

And I know you haven't been getting.

The attention you deserve.

The truth is, I've missed you all so much.

So I thought I'd make it up to you.

With a very, very special show.

So please,

Join me tonight for my most intimate live stream ever.

Just you and me.

And who knows, maybe this time,

I'll show you everything.

Hey, guys!

So, I have a very special surprise today.

For all my "klassy konnoisseurs."

I know you all have been asking for this for a long time.

So today, I'm inviting you into my bed.

I'm sure you all have some naughty questions.

That you're just dying to ask me.

So send me your messages.

What the hell!

I got a tip.

New clues are going to be revealed.

Oh, I bet there's gonna be a lot more than clues revealed.

I'm feeling so open and vulnerable right now.

I feel like I could tell you anything.

John in Hollywood wants to know.

What my favorite position is.

I'm sure you're talking about whether

I'm a side or stomach sleeper.

But the thing is, john,

If you're coming over...

I doubt either of us are getting any sleep.

Are you guys having a good time?

I'm hoping to hear from all of my fans today,

Including my biggest fan.

Where are you?

I know you're out there somewhere.

Let's see.

Anymore questions from you guys?

emergency services. How may I direct your call?

I'm calling from 58 deer field road.

There's an intruder outside.

you said the intruder is outside?

You know what,

You guys just hang tight for a second.

I'll be right back.

Emily?

Emily?

Emily?

Emily!

He's here.

You know what to do.

Come on.

there you are.

Hi, Cody.

Or should I say, rocket?

You got me.

Pretty clever.

Manipulating me into hiring you.

I knew if you got a chance to know me,

You'd come around.

Not bad.

You think so?

I mean,

Going the extra mile like that.

Just so we could be together?

You knew this was gonna happen eventually.

You were right.

When you said I deserve better people around me.

You surprised me at the club.

But... I realized I want a man.

Who fights for his woman.

Why did you reject me?

Because...

Sometimes a girl just likes to be...

Pursued.

Pursued? Huh!

It isn't' fun if it isn't just a little dangerous.

I didn't think you had it in you.

I thought you knew me better than that.

oh...

I do.

Prove it.

Parker! We gotta go! Now!

I've been watching you for a while.

You have?

Watching me do what?

In your bedroom.

Jogging.

In the night club.

Everywhere.

Sounds a little like stalking.

Like you said. "It's not fun.

If it isn't just a little... Dangerous."

Guess I should be flattered.

You should be.

- What about Maxine? - What about her?

You watch her too?

Forget about her.

Come on. I wanna know.

Did you two...

She had her chance.

But her heart wasn't in it.

So you got rid of her?

Yeah.

Her loss...

Is your gain.

How right you are.

What is this?

Are we live?

I guess I had to take care of my stalker myself.

You wanna show all the guys watching at home.

What a big man you are?

Bet you got 'em all riled up.

Don't worry.

I already doxxed your home address.

And your office, so they know exactly where to find you.

How are those moral standards working out for you now?

Going somewhere?

Uh-hmm.

Thanks to you, we got him.

Not only for the stalking charges in your case,

But for the murder of Maxine Madison.

- What about be a? - she's fine.

My guys found her in his basement, tied up.

No injuries. A little shaken up.

Thank god.

look, Kara, I misjudged you.

I should have taken you and your concerns more seriously.

Thank you.

I'm just curious about something.

Did you really make all his personal information public?

I could have.

But why bother?

It's not like he's going home any time soon.

You're certainly right about that.

Need a ride?

Oh, before I forget. Since your agent dropped you,

I happened to get a call from the casting director.

- Of that pilot this morning. - Really?

- Someone's getting a call back. - Really?

Oh, plus, you'll be happy to know that your live stream.

Broke pretty much every record model fans had.

Klassy Kara is now number one.

Wow. That's great.

But kind of thinking it might be time.

For klassy Kara to go into retirement.

Oh! Go out on top, huh?

So... What would my manager say about me.

Taking a chance on my career as an actress?

I'd say... It's about time.

Let's get out of here.
