(doorbell ringing)

- Travis.

Good to see you.

Sorry to arrive unannounced like this.

Mind if I come in?

- Sure, come on in.

So how you been?

Everything okay?

- I'm great.

Yeah miss the guys.

Miss the beat a bit.

But at the same time, I don't, you know?

All the politics...

backstabbing.

- What can I do for you tonight, Harvey?

- I thought we could talk.

Maybe clear the air a bit.

- Okay.

Hey hun, why don't you go back to bed.

- What's going on?

- I am so sorry, did we wake you?

- It's fine.

Do you guys want some coffee?

- Oh. We won't be long, but thank you.

- No, we're just having a conversation.

- She can join us if she's-

- No.

No, keep it between us.

- It's your home.

- Come and get me if you need anything.

- I heard you hit a bit of a rough patch.

So tell me what can I do
for you tonight, Harvey?

- No.

Not tonight. No.

What I needed was my job, Gary.

My insurance, my pension,

those were all taken away from me.

You took everything really.

That doesn't really leave me
with many options now does it?

- Harvey I know you're in a bad spot,

but don't do anything
you're going to regret.

- What choice do I have?

- You have plenty.

You can give me that gun.

I don't want you to hurt
yourself or anyone else.

- You think this gun is for me?

- I don't know why you have it.

- Well, you're right.

- Harvey, give me the gun.

(dramatic music)

Hey, let me get you some help.

- Why is it I'm the one
who needs help, huh?

You're not in a good
spot right now, you know?

Maybe you could use a little help.

- Harvey, you pull that trigger,

I know what comes next for me.

And it doesn't end anything.

For either of us.

But what I'm worried about
is what comes next for you.

What happens to you?

Janet, when does that trophy come in?

I want to send a photo to Bill.

- Um, sir-

- No, wait, you know what?

I want us all in there,
holding it, flexing.

- Before you go in, sir-

- Ah! There you are.

- Janet?

- You have a guest.

- Yeah, I can see that.

Why's a reporter sitting in my office?

- She was very convincing.

- I know why you're here.

It's not like I'm a hero or something.

The guy was having a mental health issue,

I was able to get him some help.

That's it! There's really no story.

- That sounds lovely, but I have no clue

what you're talking about.

- Oh. Then why are you here?

- East Bank, Texas has become
home base for the most

sought after photographer of
aspiring teen influencers.

A guy named Randall Handle.

To be honest, his stuff's
not even that good,

but he's got half a million followers

and teens throw themselves at him,

hoping for some online fame.

- What does that have to do
with you sitting in my chair?

- Ah. Something's off.

His shoots are highly
provocative, borderline explicit,

he handpicks who he
shoots, he doesn't charge,

he only shoots teens.

And why would he be here
in East Bank of all places?

- I don't know.

I'd love to help, but we
investigate criminal cases here.

So if you're looking for tabloid material,

I suggest down the road at precinct one.

- I've already been
there, they won't help.

You can!

- You know, with precinct one
hogging all the hot cases,

this could make a splash.

And look good on a chief's resume.

- Listen, you get out of my chair,

and I will think about it.

Thank you.

Send me names, addresses,
whatever, and I will look into it.

- My story airs Friday.

- You can't be serious.

- Did I mention I'm in a top 20 market?

We're not talking about
the East Bank Gazette here.

- I'll call Becky and tell
her you'll be working late.

Tre should be back within the hour.

You need to get started.

- Appreciate the ride.

- Yeah, no problem.

I like your house.

- It's not mine, but yeah, it's nice.

- Oh, hey!

We need to get a picture together.

Come on.

Oh here, you should take
it. Your arms are longer.

Yeah.

This is good!

Do you want me to tag you?

- Nah, I don't do any of that.

- Why not?

- Connecting with old friends?
It's just not my thing.

- What about connecting with new ones?

- You want to come inside?

Nobody's home.

- Probably not, no.

I'm not trying to be rude,
I just don't think I'm...

ready for that.

- All right, cool.

- Oh! I'm sorry.

- No, you're good.

- No, no. I'm so sorry,

I should learn to respect your space.

I ironed a shirt for you, for tomorrow.

- Thank you.

- I'll just leave it-

I'll leave it right there.

Oh, Gary's going to be
working late tonight,

and so he's not going to be
going to Bible study group,

but I can drive you if you want to go.

- No, that's okay.

- Say, what are like the rules?

If I want to have a friend over?

- Oh, nothing really?

I mean it's-

it's your home and any
friend of yours is welcome.

What's his name?

- Nah, it's a girl.

- Oh, a girlfriend?

- Just a friend.

With benefits.

- Benefits?

- Right like she gives me rides and stuff.

- Oh!

Okay.

Well our old rule was
nobody in the bedroom

with the doors shut.

But you're an adult...

so please make wise choices.

- All right, so the
studio is in precinct two,

but he lives over in precinct one.

- What about his subjects?

Or victims, whatever we're calling them.

- Won't know too much about them.

All we got are screen names
on this social media app,

but I don't know how we
find names from that.

- Why don't we just message them?

- Know what, we can do that.

I think we got to-

we got to follow them first-

No, we've got to friend them first.

We gotta send a friend
request to follow them.

- Just push that frog thingy.

- It's not a frog man, it's a parrot.

- That's a frog.

Wait, why don't we just hashtag them?

You know like #eastbank
and then our phone number?

We just hashtag all of them.

- You have no idea what
that even means, do you?

- All right, fellas, you
guys are on your own tonight,

but call me if you need anything else.

- Janet, how do you
message someone online?

Like an online account?

You email them? Like can you send an email

to their profile or something like that?

- What about DM?

- Who's DM?

- Oh boy.

This is not the right precinct
for those sort of questions.

I can call one of my kids?

- Wait, wait, wait, wait, hold on.

Don't we know some people
in precinct one

young enough to know
exactly what to do here?

- Like Kevin?

He won't even return my calls
since he got a girlfriend.

- Well, there is someone else.

- A hashtag groups similar posts together,

to make them easier to find.

So for our photographer,

we'll look at what hashtags he uses.

Now a handle,

these are the accounts of our victims.

- No, no, no, we don't
know they're victims yet.

- Okay.

So the handles, we can't
directly trace that to their name

without a subpoena, but
what we can do is just

cross reference their handle with other

social media platforms, and
we can probably find out

who they are.

- Then we can reach out
to them or their parents,

and bring them in for a statement.

- Yep, exactly.

- So what are we doing tomorrow?

- Well the property manager
said I can come up there

and take a look around, so

he owns studio and is gonna let us in.

- Oh, nice.

And I'll start digging into
some of these accounts,

and if any of them live in the area,

hopefully they'll come in for a statement.

- And the statements,
are we doing them here

or at precinct one?

- It depends.

Do you want Tomlinson
sticking his nose on this?

- No, not really.

- Yeah, me either.

So we'll do it here.

- All right. Y'all ready
to put in some hard hours?

- Yup.

We've got two days.

I'll see you boys bright and early.

- All right.

Going to bed.

- Okay, so this is the area
that he uses for an office.

He sets up for the shoots next door

and then there's a dressing
room right next to it.

- Gotcha.

- And look, you can
take any of this stuff.

I really don't want it here,

if he was involved in anything illegal.

Plus he owes us money, so please take it.

- When's the last time you saw him?

- Beginning of the month.

Yeah, I'm usually not here.

We have several properties across town.

- Mind if we take a few of these?

- No, absolutely. Anything you need.

- Maybe take a couple of those too?

- Please do.

And look, you have my cell
if you need anything else.

- How did you connect
with this photographer?

- Everyone my age knows of him.

And if you tag him in your photos,

sometimes he'll contact you for a shoot.

- Is that what he did for you?

- Yeah.

- And then what happened next?

- He messaged me, gave me the address,

told me to bring some wardrobe changes.

So a friend took me.

- Yeah, and she didn't tell me about it.

- Give me more.

This is creation, this
is an overflow of energy

and I need to see everything!

There it is.

Yes.

Yes.

Oh yeah.

Oh yes.

Oh yeah.

All right.

Go change.

Another outfit.

My office.

Run!

You're gonna be on the ground -

No, no, no, my office!

- Do you want me on the ground or?

- What is that?

Do you know what would happen

if I shared a photo of that dress?

I would literally die.

Dead, right here!

Go try that on.

What?

To grow, to be noticed,

you have to be bold.

Cut loose those inhibitions
that are holding you back,

and let yourself be
very, very uncomfortable.

Look at least try it on.

I don't have to see, just go try it on.

And then you decide,

and then come back.

Go.

- So did you agree to the outfit?

- Oh, you bet she did.

She put it all over the internet.

Her cousins saw it, my brother saw it.

She looked like she
belonged on a street corner.

- Okay, you know what I
took it down, all right?

It's not that big of a deal!

Besides, I picked up a ton of followers.

I mean, isn't that the point?

- Dude lose the shirt, you don't need it.

Yeah, just leave it on the floor, man.

That's good, I like that.

But you got to lose that button dude.

- On the shirt?

You're talking about the shirt?

- Did your mommy dress you?

Nah.

Look, if we're going to do this,

you gotta be in tune all right?

All right?

Those pants have a hideous button.

- You know I can take off
the pants if you want.

I mean the photo shoot by itself,

allowed me to monetize my account.

Dude is like a genius.

- Yeah, but what did your
parents think about it?

- What parents?

- Your parents, guardian, whoever.

What'd they think?

- I'm sorry, what do y'all's think?

Because you know, I'm
actually making money,

so mine don't really care what I do.

- And they didn't think it was important

to come with you today?

To talk with police?

- No. They stay out of my business

and I prefer to keep it that way.

- Look, you did a joint
shoot with a Tracy Thrills.

You know her?

- Nah, we keep up I mean, it's you know?

- Yes. Amazing.

Yeah. Now spin and reveal.

Oh yeah.

You're a natural.

On the ground now.

Oh yeah.

On all fours.

Oh yeah.

Crawl to me.

Yes.

Yeah.

What are you doing?

- I thought this is what you wanted?

- It is.

It's amazing, you are incredible.

Whatever you're doing,

never stop.

- I mean, yeah, he was weird, but

I knew what I was getting into.

- These other photos, were
they your idea or his?

- I believe in myself, okay?

- Yeah. I get that.

But I can see through your clothes.

You know there was a
time, back in the day,

that you want to see something like that,

you had to win a girl's
heart and marry her.

Now, all you gotta do
is type in your name.

You okay with that?

- Look times have changed.

And I'm 19, it's not like it's illegal.

- Yeah, but don't you have any-

- Ma'am in your experience,

did anything happen
that was inappropriate?

Coercion, harassment, anything?

- Nothing.

- We appreciate you stopping by.

- I'll help you find your way out.

- There's something going on here.

But they're all covering for him.

- You know what this is?

- What?

- It's sad, man.

Cause they'll do anything and show anything

just to get a little attention.

It's like they're addicts.

With no limits.

- This movie is dumb.

- You're the one who picked it out.

- I know. I'm dumb for picking it.

- You going to share the popcorn?

- This popcorn that I'm
holding right now in my hand?

- Yeah.

- Yeah!

Was that enough? Do you want some more?

I can give you some more. I have plenty.

I have a whole bowl of it.

If you need some more, just let me know.

Oh my gosh, wait, I'm
taking a picture of this.

- Nah, hold up.

I don't want that.

- Want what?

- I just don't see why
people got to take pictures

of every little thing?

- To remember stuff.

- You mean to post stuff?

- Somebody's grumpy.

- How about we give each
other real attention?

Not focus on what we can
brag to everybody else about.

- Okay.

- Besides,

I know you just want those
photos to hide your white guilt

- Stop it! I see you smiling.

You can't do that to me!

- Do you guys need some more-

- I don't know what to tell you.

None of these people seem to
think there was a problem.

They love the guy.

- So you think everything's kosher?

- No, of course not.

He's awful.

- So what does this mean?

- It means you don't have a story.

And we're at a dead end, and
it's a waste of our time.

- I'm not finished with it.

And when the story breaks,
one that the police missed?

You'll remember this call.

- What's in these?

- Just a bunch of old clothes.

Nothing you'd want to wear, that's for sure.

- I guess the photographer
hasn't gotten back to you.

- Our boy Randall?

Nope.

- Told you.

I wonder if we could get the lab to run

a bodily fluid analysis on this stuff.

- Based on what?

There's no crime here.

One of us needs to tell Travis.

- These aren't clothes.

These are VCR tapes.

- Yeah I know. A bunch of eighties reruns.

Should I get the popcorn?

- Do we have a VCR here?

- Unless you plan on
hitting up a pawn shop

selling antiques, you
ain't gonna find no VCR.

Good luck with that.

I ain't seen one of those
since I was like two.

I don't think I know
nobody who still got a VCR.

- No, I know who has one.

- I keep a VCR on hand so that I can watch

the original trilogy
in its release format.

- You have-

do you have the late 80s
or the early 90s set?

- I have both. With copies.

- Sorry to interrupt
your evening by the way.

- Oh, it's really not a big deal.

- Is this tape blank?

- That's what it looks like.

- So can we try another one?

- Yeah. Okay, sure.

- Are you investigating Tracy Thrills?

I follow her.

- Yeah, we were hoping she'd
be a witness on a case.

We asked her some questions,
but we didn't get anywhere.

- And Randall the photographer?

What is it you're investigating?

- You know him?

- He does a lot of shoots here in town.

He's hard to book, but
he has a huge following.

- Yeah, so we've heard.

Yet we can't find the guy.

- Do you have a warrant?

- We just want to talk to him.

- Yeah. Some of his
methods could be criminal,

but nobody will talk.

- Hey guys.

- Is that Tracy?

- That sure is.

- I think we should turn it off.

- No, we got to see what all he taped.

- Maybe you should look away.

- Oh, come on man.

This is really, really bad, man.

Why you think he put it on
all these old VHS tapes?

- So it'd be harder for us to find them.

- Yeah.

We're going to have to find
out how many victims there are.

- Yeah.

It won't be hard to get a warrant now.

- What's this all about?

- I need you to step out of the vehicle.

- What's going on here?
I didn't do anything.

- Just turn around.

- I'm just sorry to have
to tell you in this way.

He's done this to several
girls and boys, man.

A lot of people will
probably see some things

that you don't want them to see.

Use it in ways you don't
want them to use it.

Listen, it's not your fault, okay?

You had no idea what this guy was doing.

You're not the only one either.

But he's not going to get away with it.

We're going to get him.

- I'm glad to hear that
you uncovered all this,

before there were more victims.

And if you need anything
else, please reach out.

All right.

All right, bye-bye.

- Listen,

we can show you the tapes.

It's up to you.

- Why would I want to see that?

- For victims-

- I'm not a victim of anything!

- I'll talk to you as a
dad, not a police officer.

You're a beautiful girl.
We can all see that.

But you don't have to
try so hard to prove it.

All that stuff online.
The follows, the likes.

It's just a facade.

It's all fake.

It's actually kind of a pretend world

where no one gets to know you.

But you know what I see?

That I don't think you do.

You have worth.

But you got know where it comes from.

You gotta know who gives it to you.

And then you won't have
to try so hard anymore.

- Detectives say the man
planted a hidden camera

in his photography studio and then lured

aspiring social influencers there,

where he would record
them as they undressed.

- It's all over the news.

How do you plan on keeping me safe?

Look, when the police question this guy,

you know what he's gonna do?

He's going to drop my name,

and you know where they're going to be?

At my door.

My door!

- I told you, I'm going to handle it.

This whole thing is pretty
easy for me to bury right now,

but when I'm chief, it's
going to be even easier.

So just relax.

- Relax.

You'd better be right.

- Just let me do my part.

I'll see you later.

- I can't believe I'm doing this.

- Shh.

Wait.

You think we gotta take a selfie of this?

- Stop it!

I've cut back. I might even delete some.

- Good for you.
