3
00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:47,719
Are you ready for this?

4
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:44,040
Most people--
if they saw me on the street,

5
00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:47,159
they'd be like, "Oh,
she's just a normal person."

6
00:01:47,239 --> 00:01:50,000
But there's always
the anxiety.

7
00:01:50,079 --> 00:01:53,640
What if they realize
who I am...

8
00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:59,200
And what I did
with the Bling Ring?

9
00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:12,159
The Bling Ring is
a media sensation.

10
00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:14,280
"The Bling Ring" is
the name of a movie.

11
00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:15,800
The Bling Ring was one
of the first big

12
00:02:15,879 --> 00:02:17,159
social media crimes.

13
00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:21,159
It was juicy in
all the right ways.

14
00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:23,680
The Bling Ring is
a group of young people

15
00:02:23,759 --> 00:02:25,080
in their late teens:

16
00:02:25,159 --> 00:02:29,039
Rachel Lee, Nick Prugo,
Alexis Neiers, Courtney Ames,

17
00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:31,240
Roy Lopez, and Diana Tamayo.

18
00:02:31,319 --> 00:02:32,479
Wasn't there
another guy, Ajar?

19
00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:34,240
Yes.
Johnny Ajar.

20
00:02:34,319 --> 00:02:38,800
In the late 2000s, these kids
robbed a bunch of celebrities

21
00:02:38,879 --> 00:02:40,840
that they wanted to emulate.

22
00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:46,919
Rachel Bilson,
Orlando Bloom,

23
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:48,879
Lindsay Lohan, Paris Hilton.

24
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:52,400
There are more--at least ten--

25
00:02:52,479 --> 00:02:54,759
at least ten homes.

26
00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:57,120
They took $2 million
from Paris Hilton's alone

27
00:02:57,199 --> 00:03:00,439
in jewelry,
$500,000 from Orlando Bloom.

28
00:03:01,599 --> 00:03:02,719
The Bling Ring was
a reality show

29
00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:03,879
in and of itself.

30
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:07,360
They were almost like
these young stars themselves,

31
00:03:07,439 --> 00:03:08,840
except for one of them.

32
00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:11,960
Rachel Lee kept
a much lower profile.

33
00:03:12,039 --> 00:03:13,840
Rachel never gave
an interview.

34
00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:15,759
Everyone else has been like,
"She was the mastermind.

35
00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:16,759
She was the ringleader."

36
00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:17,960
But she has herself

37
00:03:18,039 --> 00:03:20,800
just not talked about it.

38
00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:24,439
I don't know what happened
to Rachel Lee.

39
00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:27,240
She's an enigma to me.

40
00:03:49,879 --> 00:03:52,000
Hello, everybody.

41
00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:54,560
So basically,
there's a Hollywood version

42
00:03:54,639 --> 00:03:56,360
of the story,
then there's a real version.

43
00:03:56,439 --> 00:03:57,719
Mm-hmm.

44
00:03:57,800 --> 00:03:59,080
There sure is.

45
00:03:59,159 --> 00:04:01,639
There sure is.

46
00:04:01,719 --> 00:04:06,960
I don't resonate with that
Hollywood version at all,

47
00:04:07,039 --> 00:04:10,319
but I could see how
it was quite entertaining

48
00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:14,159
for the world
to see the story that way.

49
00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:16,480
It was more of a storm for me.

50
00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:20,480
So when I think about it,
it's like--

51
00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:24,079
it's so simple for me
to sit here and tell you, like,

52
00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:26,240
I could never go
into somebody's house,

53
00:04:26,319 --> 00:04:28,000
I could never steal
anything from anybody,

54
00:04:28,079 --> 00:04:29,560
like, I would never
hurt somebody.

55
00:04:29,639 --> 00:04:31,240
Like, no.

56
00:04:31,319 --> 00:04:33,639
But back then,
that wasn't the truth.

57
00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:36,920
So I was hurting people,
like, by stealing.

58
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:41,079
And everything that we do
has a consequence.

59
00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:43,439
And the consequence
that I have to deal with

60
00:04:43,519 --> 00:04:48,639
is that in history,
my name is--

61
00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:50,759
was kind of dragged
through the dirt.

62
00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:53,839
But who created that?
I did.

63
00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:55,600
I did.

64
00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:58,120
You probably never heard
of Rachel Lee.

65
00:04:58,199 --> 00:05:00,800
Yes, but she's paying the price
for leading the Bling Ring.

66
00:05:00,879 --> 00:05:03,680
Lee is the mastermind
behind several burglaries.

67
00:05:03,759 --> 00:05:06,120
Rachel Lee was described
by many people

68
00:05:06,199 --> 00:05:08,560
as this fashion icon
in her school.

69
00:05:08,639 --> 00:05:11,399
She loved nice clothes
and nice things.

70
00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:14,759
She was portrayed
as a charismatic leader,

71
00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:17,040
a super popular girl.

72
00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:19,839
Most revealing may be
Lee's reported reaction

73
00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:20,959
when arrested.

74
00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:24,279
She supposedly was told
something about Lindsay Lohan,

75
00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:25,959
and she's very upset
about this.

76
00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:28,680
Rachel Lee stops and says--

77
00:05:28,759 --> 00:05:30,839
Really?
What did Lindsay say?

78
00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:33,839
She was reported to be,
like, obsessed with fame

79
00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:36,920
and wanted to be
like Mean Girls.

80
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:40,240
You can change your life
if you want to

81
00:05:40,319 --> 00:05:42,079
Change your clothes

82
00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:44,920
Lee and her attorney refused
our requests for an interview,

83
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:47,000
but Lee told one
of our producers in court

84
00:05:47,079 --> 00:05:48,920
she has no regrets.

85
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:56,240
Hello?

86
00:05:56,319 --> 00:05:58,680
Hey.
What's up?

87
00:05:58,759 --> 00:06:00,519
I'm at home.

88
00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:04,839
Yesterday?

89
00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:06,079
Oh, yeah.

90
00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:08,399
Well, my mom believed
the whole thing.

91
00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:11,279
Yeah, but then, you know,
like that whole thing?

92
00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:14,120
My mom found out about it,
and she got really mad at me.

93
00:06:14,199 --> 00:06:16,720
She was like, "Why didn't
you tell me?", blah blah.

94
00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:18,600
I was like, "Oh, my God."

95
00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:21,399
My parents divorced
when I was one.

96
00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:24,000
And when I was a kid,

97
00:06:24,079 --> 00:06:26,959
my mom didn't
get off work until 6:30,

98
00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:29,439
so after school,

99
00:06:29,519 --> 00:06:33,279
I would always snoop
through my mom's stuff.

100
00:06:37,439 --> 00:06:42,680
There was one particular day
that I was looking

101
00:06:42,759 --> 00:06:45,680
through all
of, like, her purses,

102
00:06:45,759 --> 00:06:49,680
and then there was,
like, a briefcase.

103
00:06:49,759 --> 00:06:52,319
I, like, reached my hand in,
and I, like, brought out

104
00:06:52,399 --> 00:06:53,800
like, a fresh stack of hundreds.

105
00:06:53,879 --> 00:06:56,120
It was, like, fresh.

106
00:06:56,199 --> 00:06:59,879
And I just remember, like,
sliding off that crispy bill.

107
00:06:59,959 --> 00:07:01,399
I just, like, slid it off,

108
00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:03,199
and I was, like,
"She'll never notice.

109
00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:04,480
Like, it's just one."

110
00:07:06,519 --> 00:07:10,199
That part of me has
always been inside of me,

111
00:07:10,279 --> 00:07:13,680
this, like, "Dang, I'm sly.

112
00:07:13,759 --> 00:07:16,920
Like, I'm--
I'm a master manipulator."

113
00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:26,800
I had this insatiable desire

114
00:07:26,879 --> 00:07:30,399
to have as much
as I could have.

115
00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:34,240
But, I mean, that was
kind of the energy back then.

116
00:07:36,439 --> 00:07:37,519
- How are you, Paris?
- Paris!

117
00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:39,040
She spent $10,000, mind you.

118
00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:40,199
$20,000.

119
00:07:42,079 --> 00:07:43,600
Hi, Kim.

120
00:07:45,199 --> 00:07:47,480
Did you enjoy
their selection?

121
00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:51,639
The 2000s was the era
of the desire for fame.

122
00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:52,879
Audrina, what's going on?

123
00:07:52,959 --> 00:07:54,720
Get her, get her, get her!

124
00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:56,399
Attention, love, money.

125
00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:59,439
I went to the Swarovski store
and I got this amazing purse.

126
00:07:59,519 --> 00:08:01,319
It's the birth
of this sort of new kind

127
00:08:01,399 --> 00:08:03,319
of celebrity reality TV

128
00:08:03,399 --> 00:08:05,879
where it seemed
like anybody could be famous.

129
00:08:05,959 --> 00:08:07,839
Nick Lachey
and Jessica Simpson,

130
00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:11,000
the Kardashians, The Hills.

131
00:08:11,079 --> 00:08:12,199
Do you know why
I'm mad at you?

132
00:08:12,279 --> 00:08:13,439
- Why, Lauren?
- You know why I'm mad at you.

133
00:08:13,519 --> 00:08:14,519
- Why?
- You know what you did!

134
00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:15,600
Why?
What did I do?

135
00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:17,199
You didn't have
to get, like, discovered

136
00:08:17,279 --> 00:08:18,639
and have any skills.

137
00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:20,680
You just had to, like,
be outrageous

138
00:08:20,759 --> 00:08:22,879
and walk around in clothing,
and then you'd be famous.

139
00:08:22,959 --> 00:08:24,800
Paris Hilton
and Kim Kardashian,

140
00:08:24,879 --> 00:08:26,600
who people still accuse
of being famous

141
00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:28,319
for doing nothing--
I think,

142
00:08:28,399 --> 00:08:29,360
essentially what people

143
00:08:29,439 --> 00:08:31,560
really started out
liking about them

144
00:08:31,639 --> 00:08:34,200
was that they were
just showing their lives.

145
00:08:34,279 --> 00:08:35,360
Let's look into our fridge.

146
00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:37,840
No, I did not redo this
just for you guys.

147
00:08:37,919 --> 00:08:39,080
This is how it is at all times.

148
00:08:39,159 --> 00:08:40,639
Before then,
we see a celebrity,

149
00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:42,360
we think of them as untouchable

150
00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:45,120
or almost like they live
in a different world.

151
00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:46,759
Now "Cribs" was on.
Right?

152
00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:48,240
MTV "Cribs."

153
00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:49,480
Yo. What up, man?

154
00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:52,200
It's your boy Bow Wow,
welcoming y'all to my crib.

155
00:08:52,279 --> 00:08:53,960
- You know what I mean?
- I'm Mariah Carey.

156
00:08:54,039 --> 00:08:55,360
Welcome to my crib.

157
00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:57,519
Come on in.
This is the shoe room.

158
00:08:57,600 --> 00:09:00,480
The style that I favor
would be a high stiletto.

159
00:09:01,799 --> 00:09:04,080
Oh, Frankie invited us
to his birthday party

160
00:09:04,159 --> 00:09:05,759
at Les Deux tonight.

161
00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:09,399
Now it's really easy
to be close to a celebrity.

162
00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:12,080
On "The Hills," they would go
to a club called Les Deux.

163
00:09:12,159 --> 00:09:15,679
Like, you started to see places
like Urth Caffé,

164
00:09:15,759 --> 00:09:18,120
which is just like an
average place to go get coffee,

165
00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:20,399
glorified on a show
like "Entourage,"

166
00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:21,840
where people would go
repeatedly.

167
00:09:21,919 --> 00:09:23,799
And for those six months
or a year,

168
00:09:23,879 --> 00:09:25,360
it was, like, the place to go.

169
00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:27,919
And people were
literally making pilgrimages

170
00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:29,480
to go to Kitson,
to go to Les Deux,

171
00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:31,639
to go to Urth Caffé.

172
00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:33,840
And, of course,
there was Calabasas.

173
00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:44,600
Calabasas is where I grew up.

174
00:09:47,039 --> 00:09:49,200
Calabasas is kind of
on the northern side

175
00:09:49,279 --> 00:09:50,480
of the county.

176
00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:52,480
Kim Kardashian and her family
moved out there,

177
00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:54,279
and that's when it
kind of hit the map, I think.

178
00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:55,240
But it's just known

179
00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:57,039
as a quiet, upper-class
neighborhood

180
00:09:57,120 --> 00:10:00,559
with good schools,
and it's not really known for--

181
00:10:00,639 --> 00:10:04,519
at least on our map--
a lot of criminal activity.

182
00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:10,919
I'm from Calabasas.

183
00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:16,240
Growing up in Calabasas
was an exercise

184
00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:20,879
in seeing people
on their 16th birthdays

185
00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:24,279
wake up and see
that Daddy had rolled in

186
00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:27,399
a 320i black BMW for them.

187
00:10:30,879 --> 00:10:32,840
I think, like,
the worst car,

188
00:10:32,919 --> 00:10:35,799
like, in general in Calabasas,
like, in the parking lot,

189
00:10:35,879 --> 00:10:37,399
was, like, a Jetta.

190
00:10:59,639 --> 00:11:01,360
Rachel's a dork.

191
00:11:02,679 --> 00:11:03,759
Look at her.

192
00:11:06,519 --> 00:11:07,919
Here's a car.

193
00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:11,879
Ooh, it's a BMW, baby!

194
00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:14,120
- That's so rude!
- Why?

195
00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:20,279
Oh, Rachel, guess what?

196
00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:21,960
I was at my friend
Matt's house, okay?

197
00:11:22,039 --> 00:11:24,200
And Leo was there.

198
00:11:24,279 --> 00:11:25,799
- When?
- Yesterday.

199
00:11:25,879 --> 00:11:26,919
I was talking to him.

200
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:28,080
I was, like,
"Hey, do you know Rachel Lee?"

201
00:11:28,159 --> 00:11:30,039
He's like, "Yeah, Rachel?
She's really, really annoying,

202
00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:31,559
and, like, she thinks
she's so all that."

203
00:11:31,639 --> 00:11:33,240
- I was like, "What?"
- Leo?

204
00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:35,200
Yeah.
Leo said that.

205
00:11:35,279 --> 00:11:37,600
And I was like, "Um, okay.
No, not that Rachel then."

206
00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:39,720
He goes, "Rachel Lee.
She's kind of Chinese?"

207
00:11:39,799 --> 00:11:41,840
I was like,
"Yeah. That Rachel."

208
00:11:53,159 --> 00:11:56,039
Calabasas is
a predominantly white town.

209
00:11:56,120 --> 00:11:59,480
If you were not white,
then you were an outsider.

210
00:11:59,559 --> 00:12:01,879
I was so ashamed
of being Korean,

211
00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:04,879
and I would get, like,
so "flattered"

212
00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:08,000
when people would say,
"Oh, are you half Korean?"

213
00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:18,360
I wish I was pretty
like Courtney.

214
00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:23,480
Even the way that
Korean people looked,

215
00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:24,639
'cause I was,
like, all the time

216
00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:25,919
with, like, non-Koreans.

217
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:29,039
And I would think sometimes,
"Am I deformed?"

218
00:12:38,679 --> 00:12:40,399
I never actually knew

219
00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:42,080
the amount of money
that we had,

220
00:12:42,159 --> 00:12:45,360
but through material things,
I could see that we weren't,

221
00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:46,840
like, super-rich,
we weren't super-poor,

222
00:12:46,919 --> 00:12:48,559
just, like, middle-class.

223
00:12:48,639 --> 00:12:51,679
But compared to where
my friends lived,

224
00:12:51,759 --> 00:12:54,440
my house was
the smallest house.

225
00:12:54,519 --> 00:12:58,919
The mansions that
their parents have were huge,

226
00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:01,279
and the mom was, like,
the hot mom

227
00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:04,159
who was, like, dressed in
what we were wearing, too.

228
00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:07,480
The kids also
kind of followed that suit.

229
00:13:07,559 --> 00:13:09,600
And so I was always
asking for,

230
00:13:09,679 --> 00:13:11,240
"Oh, can I please have
this Juicy Couture purse?"

231
00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:13,759
Or, "Can I please have
this Tiffany's necklace?"

232
00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:16,600
Because I have this--

233
00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:20,200
I struggle with FOMO
really badly,

234
00:13:20,279 --> 00:13:22,840
and so I wanted my mom
to always buy me

235
00:13:22,919 --> 00:13:24,799
something designer.

236
00:13:24,879 --> 00:13:26,399
I think it made me feel rich.

237
00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:30,480
It made me feel I'm part
of this material world,

238
00:13:30,559 --> 00:13:32,399
like I can show up, too.

239
00:13:36,679 --> 00:13:39,360
When I got into middle school

240
00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:42,039
and I was just, like,
my dorky little self,

241
00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:44,080
and I would see all these,
like, girls that were, like,

242
00:13:44,159 --> 00:13:48,159
so cool looking
and so, like, hot and fun,

243
00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:51,000
I was like, "Nobody ever
tells me I'm hot and fun."

244
00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:57,519
I felt kind of, like,
frustrated with my family.

245
00:13:57,600 --> 00:14:01,000
My mom--she's a lawyer,
a criminal defense attorney.

246
00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:02,759
And then my father--

247
00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:04,759
he went into accounting.

248
00:14:04,840 --> 00:14:08,879
And for my parents,
going to university

249
00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:10,720
and doing really good
in school

250
00:14:10,799 --> 00:14:13,080
was extremely important.

251
00:14:13,159 --> 00:14:15,519
That was
heavily instilled into me.

252
00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:17,159
You need to go to university.

253
00:14:17,240 --> 00:14:18,639
You need to take SATs.

254
00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:21,960
You need to go to Hagwon,
which is like SAT prep.

255
00:14:22,039 --> 00:14:23,519
And I was sick of it.

256
00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:24,960
I didn't want
to be that anymore.

257
00:14:25,039 --> 00:14:26,759
I was like,
"I wanna be a badass."

258
00:14:37,879 --> 00:14:41,559
I wanna prove
I am not afraid of anything,

259
00:14:41,639 --> 00:14:44,720
that I'm down for whatever,

260
00:14:44,799 --> 00:14:47,519
especially drugs.

261
00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:51,840
One day, when I was 14,

262
00:14:51,919 --> 00:14:54,200
I was at a pool...

263
00:14:55,919 --> 00:15:00,519
And this boy that I had met
held out his hand,

264
00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:02,919
and there was, like,
a bunch of pills.

265
00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:05,120
Some of them were Xanax,
and some of them were ecstasy.

266
00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:07,120
And he said, "Do you want one?"

267
00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:08,720
And I was like,
"What's that one?"

268
00:15:08,799 --> 00:15:10,279
And it had, like, four little--

269
00:15:10,360 --> 00:15:12,000
that's what you call,
like, "a bar."

270
00:15:12,080 --> 00:15:14,120
And he was like,
"Oh, try it."

271
00:15:16,279 --> 00:15:18,919
And he broke me off a quarter...

272
00:15:20,559 --> 00:15:22,879
And I had it...

273
00:15:26,639 --> 00:15:28,720
And then I didn't have
a care in the world.

274
00:15:28,799 --> 00:15:31,440
There was no worries for me.

275
00:15:36,840 --> 00:15:38,799
When I had experienced Xanax,

276
00:15:38,879 --> 00:15:41,879
it was, like, a catalyst
for a lot of things.

277
00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:46,039
It took away my emotion,

278
00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:47,840
and because I didn't care,

279
00:15:47,919 --> 00:15:50,879
I could act the way
that I've always wanted to...

280
00:15:54,440 --> 00:15:55,799
And I wanted to party.

281
00:16:15,759 --> 00:16:17,480
I was a follower

282
00:16:17,559 --> 00:16:19,840
that didn't want
to look like a follower.

283
00:16:19,919 --> 00:16:22,159
I wanted to look like a leader,

284
00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:26,039
but my true self,
my true nature, I'm--

285
00:16:26,120 --> 00:16:28,360
I'm more of a follower.

286
00:16:33,399 --> 00:16:37,000
At school, this certain girl--

287
00:16:37,080 --> 00:16:40,519
she was the first person
who introduced cocaine to me,

288
00:16:40,600 --> 00:16:42,720
Parliament cigarettes to me.

289
00:16:42,799 --> 00:16:44,440
She was a really cool girl.

290
00:16:44,519 --> 00:16:47,159
I honestly wanted to be her.
I really did.

291
00:16:49,320 --> 00:16:53,039
She and I went into
the locker room.

292
00:16:54,600 --> 00:16:57,080
We saw, like,
two pairs of Uggs,

293
00:16:57,159 --> 00:17:00,000
and we dumped our shoes,
and we put on the Uggs,

294
00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:02,720
and we walked out
of the locker room.

295
00:17:02,799 --> 00:17:05,200
And then her and I were, like,
walking around campus.

296
00:17:05,279 --> 00:17:07,079
We were like, "Oh, cool.
We have Uggs now.

297
00:17:07,160 --> 00:17:08,160
Like, cool."

298
00:17:08,240 --> 00:17:10,079
All of a sudden, like,

299
00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:12,039
these two girls
just started, like,

300
00:17:12,119 --> 00:17:14,279
beelining it towards us,
and they were like,

301
00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:15,799
"Those are our Uggs."

302
00:17:15,880 --> 00:17:17,920
And we were like,
"No, they're not."

303
00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:19,720
And she was like,
"Lift up your foot."

304
00:17:19,799 --> 00:17:21,880
And I was like, "No."
And she was like, "Lift it up."

305
00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:23,759
And I was like, "No."

306
00:17:23,839 --> 00:17:26,000
And so they're like, "Okay,
we're gonna go tell on you then."

307
00:17:26,079 --> 00:17:27,720
And we're like,
"Okay, go, narc."

308
00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:31,079
I looked on the bottom
of the Ugg,

309
00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:33,920
and it had, like,
a heart drawn.

310
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:35,920
And I remember,
I was like, "Shit."

311
00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:37,240
I was like,
"I gotta get rid of this,"

312
00:17:37,319 --> 00:17:39,279
so I, like,
took a chunk out of it.

313
00:17:40,480 --> 00:17:42,599
They were calling our names
over the speaker.

314
00:17:42,680 --> 00:17:44,920
"Come to the office."

315
00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:46,319
Your presence is required.

316
00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:47,480
This is the thing.

317
00:17:47,559 --> 00:17:50,519
I always had a problem
with admitting that--

318
00:17:50,599 --> 00:17:52,359
like, if I'm already
in the lie,

319
00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:54,000
it's really hard for me--

320
00:17:54,079 --> 00:17:55,440
it was hard for me to admit it.

321
00:17:55,519 --> 00:17:57,480
See, my friend--
she broke down instantly.

322
00:17:57,559 --> 00:17:58,680
She's like, "Oh, my God,
I'm so sorry.

323
00:17:58,759 --> 00:18:00,079
"I'm sorry,
I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

324
00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:01,440
Like, here's the shoes."

325
00:18:01,519 --> 00:18:04,160
But I--I'm so stubborn
that I was like,

326
00:18:04,240 --> 00:18:06,880
"No, these are my Uggs.
These are my Uggs."

327
00:18:09,160 --> 00:18:10,519
The counselor was like,
"You know,

328
00:18:10,599 --> 00:18:11,960
"your friend already
gave back the Uggs.

329
00:18:12,039 --> 00:18:13,480
Just give it back."
You know?

330
00:18:13,559 --> 00:18:15,200
And I was like,
"No. They're my Uggs."

331
00:18:16,799 --> 00:18:19,720
That was a big, big mistake.

332
00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:24,039
After that,
I got kicked out of Calabasas,

333
00:18:24,119 --> 00:18:26,799
and I went
to continuation school.

334
00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:29,079
She went to Indian Hills
High School.

335
00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:31,079
The high school
behind the high school.

336
00:18:31,160 --> 00:18:32,960
It was the kind of thing
where kids at Calabasas High

337
00:18:33,039 --> 00:18:35,119
would make fun of you
if you were known

338
00:18:35,200 --> 00:18:36,480
to be going to Indian Hills.

339
00:18:36,559 --> 00:18:39,000
It was basically the last stop
before dropping out.

340
00:18:39,079 --> 00:18:41,119
Or if you had
major learning disabilities,

341
00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:43,079
you'd end up at Indian Hills.

342
00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:44,880
And so for me,
I was like, "All right,

343
00:18:44,960 --> 00:18:47,119
let's go down the rebel road."

344
00:18:47,200 --> 00:18:49,039
You know?
Like, how can I make it

345
00:18:49,119 --> 00:18:51,440
the best rebel road
I can make it?

346
00:18:55,319 --> 00:18:58,359
And that's when Nick Prugo
entered the picture.

347
00:18:58,440 --> 00:18:59,559
You wanna see me
drop it, drop it

348
00:18:59,640 --> 00:19:00,880
Wanna pop it, pop it, pop it

349
00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:03,359
Shake that ass on the floor

350
00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:05,759
Nick Prugo came
from a middle-class home

351
00:19:05,839 --> 00:19:09,400
and had a nice house
in a nice part of the area.

352
00:19:11,920 --> 00:19:14,680
Nick Prugo said that he
didn't have a lot of friends,

353
00:19:14,759 --> 00:19:16,200
he was looking to fit in.

354
00:19:18,359 --> 00:19:20,920
Nick and I met on Myspace.

355
00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:23,960
He had opened up to me
when he first reached out to me

356
00:19:24,039 --> 00:19:27,519
about how
he felt like the weird kid.

357
00:19:27,599 --> 00:19:31,599
Nick was just realizing
his sexuality or who he was.

358
00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:35,799
That was a big part of why
I connected with him,

359
00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:39,279
because we were
both not straight,

360
00:19:39,359 --> 00:19:41,640
and I kind of let him in
with my friends.

361
00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:43,000
How do I do this?

362
00:19:43,079 --> 00:19:44,799
I don't know. Ask her.

363
00:19:44,880 --> 00:19:45,880
How is it?

364
00:19:45,960 --> 00:19:49,960
But he didn't really talk
about his school to us much.

365
00:19:50,039 --> 00:19:51,720
I feel like he kind of felt
embarrassed that Indian Hills

366
00:19:51,799 --> 00:19:53,519
was a continuation school.

367
00:19:56,559 --> 00:19:59,559
The very first time
I saw Nick,

368
00:19:59,640 --> 00:20:03,319
he actually
didn't even see me yet.

369
00:20:03,400 --> 00:20:06,119
I was going to my next class,
and then--

370
00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:08,000
some of the teachers
always keep their doors open,

371
00:20:08,079 --> 00:20:10,279
like, especially the art room,
and he was in the art class.

372
00:20:10,359 --> 00:20:13,880
I looked inside, and I just
saw him with his head down.

373
00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:16,000
And then it looked like
there was, like,

374
00:20:16,079 --> 00:20:18,359
just a bunch of purple,
like, on his lip,

375
00:20:18,440 --> 00:20:20,839
and I remember thinking,
"Well, that's strange."

376
00:20:22,279 --> 00:20:25,599
Later, I was, like, in class,
and then, all of a sudden,

377
00:20:25,680 --> 00:20:27,839
you see, like,
an ambulance pulling up.

378
00:20:27,920 --> 00:20:30,680
Everyone's like,
"What the heck is going on?"

379
00:20:30,759 --> 00:20:33,000
"Oh, the new kid
just got picked up

380
00:20:33,079 --> 00:20:35,880
'cause he's drunk at school."

381
00:20:35,960 --> 00:20:38,400
Some of the kids were saying
really, like,

382
00:20:38,480 --> 00:20:40,160
mean words about his sexuality,

383
00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:41,759
which they couldn't
even confirm.

384
00:20:41,839 --> 00:20:43,880
They were just talking about
the way he was dressed.

385
00:20:43,960 --> 00:20:45,559
They were like, "Do you see
what that kid was wearing?

386
00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:47,759
Like, he looks like a
blah, blah, blah," you know?

387
00:20:47,839 --> 00:20:50,279
Just, like,
bad, bad, bad words.

388
00:20:50,359 --> 00:20:51,440
Ow.

389
00:20:56,640 --> 00:20:58,359
Oh, my God, there's a stick.

390
00:20:58,440 --> 00:20:59,440
Kick him in the balls.

391
00:20:59,519 --> 00:21:01,160
Come on, let's kick him
in the balls.

392
00:21:02,440 --> 00:21:03,839
He would take
the trolley home,

393
00:21:03,920 --> 00:21:07,319
and the trolley stop was
on the way to my house,

394
00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:11,079
so we ended up walking together
every day after school.

395
00:21:11,160 --> 00:21:12,200
So one day, I was like,

396
00:21:12,279 --> 00:21:13,440
"Do you wanna come over
for a little bit,

397
00:21:13,519 --> 00:21:15,240
and then you can take
the next trolley?"

398
00:21:15,319 --> 00:21:18,440
And he was like,
"Yeah, I would love to."

399
00:21:18,519 --> 00:21:21,119
We go to my room,
and on my desk,

400
00:21:21,200 --> 00:21:22,559
I would always, like,
paint my nails,

401
00:21:22,640 --> 00:21:24,240
so I had, like, all these
different nail polishes,

402
00:21:24,319 --> 00:21:28,319
and then also, I loved to,
like, tag on my desk.

403
00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:31,279
He, like, started to paint
his nails.

404
00:21:34,119 --> 00:21:37,720
And I remember just feeling
like, "Oh, this guy--

405
00:21:37,799 --> 00:21:40,799
this kid is so, like, sweet."

406
00:21:42,440 --> 00:21:45,000
After that point,
we were best friends.

407
00:21:47,519 --> 00:21:49,000
If we weren't together,
we were on the phone.

408
00:21:49,079 --> 00:21:50,319
And if we weren't on the phone,
we were texting.

409
00:21:50,400 --> 00:21:53,640
It was, like, always, like,
very codependent relationship.

410
00:21:53,720 --> 00:21:57,240
You know, Nick played
a huge role for me,

411
00:21:57,319 --> 00:22:00,359
like, showing me a lot
of new tips and tricks

412
00:22:00,440 --> 00:22:02,400
on how to be, like, a queen.

413
00:22:02,480 --> 00:22:04,880
- Oh, okay.
- He taught me how to contour.

414
00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:07,000
I remember he, like--
kind of filled in my eyebrows

415
00:22:07,079 --> 00:22:09,799
and kind of did, like,
around my nose and my cheeks.

416
00:22:10,759 --> 00:22:12,480
And also, I would do
the same for him, you know?

417
00:22:12,559 --> 00:22:14,079
And I'd be like,
"Oh, your hair looks cute

418
00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:16,440
"when it's, like, skater-boy,
like, sideswept, like that.

419
00:22:16,519 --> 00:22:19,599
Like, yeah,
put that hat on like that."

420
00:22:19,680 --> 00:22:23,000
It was super pure at first.

421
00:22:23,079 --> 00:22:25,599
It was pure, and it was sweet.

422
00:22:25,680 --> 00:22:27,720
We felt like we were

423
00:22:27,799 --> 00:22:30,720
very special people
in this world.

424
00:22:30,799 --> 00:22:32,960
And I finally get
to experience

425
00:22:33,039 --> 00:22:34,880
where I fit in.

426
00:22:39,839 --> 00:22:43,119
Nick suddenly was
infatuated with Rachel.

427
00:22:43,200 --> 00:22:46,480
The way we knew Nick was,
we were his only friends,

428
00:22:46,559 --> 00:22:47,880
there wasn't other people.

429
00:22:47,960 --> 00:22:49,599
He didn't have
a life outside of us.

430
00:22:49,680 --> 00:22:51,440
But then he started
bringing up Rachel,

431
00:22:51,519 --> 00:22:54,599
and, like, our friends
would think of her

432
00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:57,319
as his bad influence friend...

433
00:22:57,400 --> 00:22:58,640
Have you met my friend?

434
00:22:58,720 --> 00:23:00,400
Who was more into partying
and cocaine

435
00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:02,640
and living life on the edge
or whatever.

436
00:23:06,200 --> 00:23:09,960
Between me and Nick,
there was a darkness,

437
00:23:10,039 --> 00:23:13,799
an unspoken darkness
that just kind of existed.

438
00:23:16,440 --> 00:23:17,759
This is our chauffeur.

439
00:23:20,920 --> 00:23:22,839
We would all go out
with our friends.

440
00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:25,359
I feel like nobody else
showed that darkness

441
00:23:25,440 --> 00:23:26,720
the way that we did.

442
00:23:26,799 --> 00:23:28,839
We were like,
"Okay, if you're like this

443
00:23:28,920 --> 00:23:30,599
"and I'm like this,
then that must mean

444
00:23:30,680 --> 00:23:32,640
we're not too far
off the rail, right?"

445
00:23:39,319 --> 00:23:40,880
We didn't see
any of our other friends

446
00:23:40,960 --> 00:23:43,599
as brave as us,

447
00:23:43,680 --> 00:23:46,359
to do the things
that we would do.

448
00:23:46,440 --> 00:23:48,400
We would, like,
paint a gun black

449
00:23:48,480 --> 00:23:50,440
and wave it at people,
you know?

450
00:23:50,519 --> 00:23:52,039
Like, some real twisted things.

451
00:23:52,119 --> 00:23:55,240
Like, really things that, like,
should have had us dead.

452
00:23:55,319 --> 00:23:59,839
And we were just, like,
smiling, like, "Kill us.

453
00:23:59,920 --> 00:24:01,279
Okay."
You know?

454
00:24:01,359 --> 00:24:03,559
Like, just no fear.

455
00:24:06,720 --> 00:24:10,160
We started to call ourselves
Bonnie and Clyde.

456
00:24:10,240 --> 00:24:12,039
We got really high off
of that,

457
00:24:12,119 --> 00:24:13,920
because there was
this deep loneliness

458
00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:16,799
that we both carried so much
with us

459
00:24:16,880 --> 00:24:19,680
that having each other
was such a high.

460
00:24:22,160 --> 00:24:23,799
Wow.
I'm freaking lucky.

461
00:24:23,880 --> 00:24:25,640
Nobody in this world
has somebody

462
00:24:25,720 --> 00:24:27,279
this ride-or-die for them.

463
00:24:36,839 --> 00:24:40,680
Our crimes started with us,
like, checking cars.

464
00:24:43,319 --> 00:24:45,880
On the way out of a party,
we would just start

465
00:24:45,960 --> 00:24:49,480
yanking on car door handles.

466
00:24:49,559 --> 00:24:51,880
A lot of those doors
were open.

467
00:24:51,960 --> 00:24:54,960
Sometimes we would find money
or, like, something.

468
00:24:57,000 --> 00:24:59,200
Some of our friends got
a little bit, like,

469
00:24:59,279 --> 00:25:02,400
"Well, I want that too.
I want to come too."

470
00:25:02,480 --> 00:25:03,720
Sometimes I wouldn't
even be there.

471
00:25:03,799 --> 00:25:05,279
They're like,
"Oh, we're out checking cars."

472
00:25:05,359 --> 00:25:08,079
I'm like,
"Thanks for the invite, guys."

473
00:25:08,160 --> 00:25:09,440
I felt FOMO'ed out.

474
00:25:11,240 --> 00:25:12,640
And then I think
we just started

475
00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:14,720
running out of things
to do together.

476
00:25:14,799 --> 00:25:16,240
We started getting, like,
a little aggravated

477
00:25:16,319 --> 00:25:17,559
with each other, too,

478
00:25:17,640 --> 00:25:19,359
'cause we were, like,
together so often.

479
00:25:21,200 --> 00:25:24,480
We kept wanting to, like,
go to the next level,

480
00:25:24,559 --> 00:25:25,559
go to the next level.

481
00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:27,440
So then we started
to check mailboxes.

482
00:25:27,519 --> 00:25:30,240
And the whole concept
behind the mailboxes was,

483
00:25:30,319 --> 00:25:32,279
if the mailbox
was really full,

484
00:25:32,359 --> 00:25:34,359
that means that
they're out of town.

485
00:25:43,160 --> 00:25:45,720
I would always post
where I'm going to be going

486
00:25:45,799 --> 00:25:47,720
on my bulletins on Myspace.

487
00:25:47,799 --> 00:25:49,839
And, yeah, I just
thought nothing of that.

488
00:25:49,920 --> 00:25:52,559
I felt like it was
a very innocent, normal thing

489
00:25:52,640 --> 00:25:54,480
to post on social media.

490
00:25:57,039 --> 00:25:59,880
When I get back
to LA from Jamaica,

491
00:25:59,960 --> 00:26:04,640
I hear my mom yelling
towards my dad

492
00:26:04,720 --> 00:26:08,119
about something
that had to do with money.

493
00:26:08,200 --> 00:26:10,160
My parents being foreign--

494
00:26:10,240 --> 00:26:12,160
a lot of people who have parents

495
00:26:12,240 --> 00:26:14,519
that weren't born in America
might be able to relate to this--

496
00:26:14,599 --> 00:26:17,000
but at the time,
they didn't really trust

497
00:26:17,079 --> 00:26:18,400
the American bank system.

498
00:26:18,480 --> 00:26:21,279
They kept money
in a box under the bed.

499
00:26:21,359 --> 00:26:23,440
I just remember my mom,
like, looking at me

500
00:26:23,519 --> 00:26:26,400
and, like, looking really,
like, upset and distraught

501
00:26:26,480 --> 00:26:30,599
and saying that someone stole
a lot of money from them.

502
00:26:30,680 --> 00:26:33,799
It was something like
$28,000 in cash.

503
00:26:33,880 --> 00:26:37,039
They took my mom's jewelry,
some clothes,

504
00:26:37,119 --> 00:26:38,279
and it was like--

505
00:26:38,359 --> 00:26:39,960
it just, like, hit me
like a ton of bricks.

506
00:26:40,039 --> 00:26:41,720
Like, "Oh, my God,
someone broke into our house

507
00:26:41,799 --> 00:26:43,079
"and took that much money?

508
00:26:43,160 --> 00:26:44,319
"Like, who could that
have been,

509
00:26:44,400 --> 00:26:49,079
and why was our house able
to be walked into like that?"

510
00:26:50,559 --> 00:26:53,079
The authorities came in,
they asked questions,

511
00:26:53,160 --> 00:26:55,480
they took fingerprints,
all of that,

512
00:26:55,559 --> 00:26:57,839
but they didn't have a lead.

513
00:26:57,920 --> 00:27:01,640
I wanted to be able to put it
together, and I tried so hard.

514
00:27:01,720 --> 00:27:03,720
I had a list of people
in my head

515
00:27:03,799 --> 00:27:04,799
that it could have been.

516
00:27:04,880 --> 00:27:06,599
And Nick was always
at the top,

517
00:27:06,680 --> 00:27:08,440
or at least the second person
on that list.

518
00:27:08,519 --> 00:27:09,759
Nick, say hello.

519
00:27:09,839 --> 00:27:11,960
But there were points
where I lowered him

520
00:27:12,039 --> 00:27:16,039
on that list in my heart
because he was my friend.

521
00:27:16,119 --> 00:27:21,359
At first, we did go
into just random homes,

522
00:27:21,440 --> 00:27:23,519
and then it was
celebrity after that.

523
00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:30,279
I don't want this
to seem like I'm blaming,

524
00:27:30,359 --> 00:27:31,880
because it's important
to me to--

525
00:27:31,960 --> 00:27:33,400
that I take the accountability,

526
00:27:33,480 --> 00:27:35,920
but if we're gonna be specific,

527
00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:39,400
it was when Nick
had found that website,

528
00:27:39,480 --> 00:27:41,160
Celebrity Address Aerial.

529
00:27:43,920 --> 00:27:46,880
It shows every single
celebrity's address.

530
00:27:46,960 --> 00:27:50,319
And he said,
"I found the jackpot."

531
00:27:50,400 --> 00:27:53,279
I was like, "How the hell
did you find that?"

532
00:27:57,960 --> 00:28:00,400
The first robbery
was in 2008.

533
00:28:00,480 --> 00:28:01,839
That was Paris Hilton.

534
00:28:01,920 --> 00:28:03,160
I'm just hot.

535
00:28:03,240 --> 00:28:05,039
It was coming off of
"The Simple Life"

536
00:28:05,119 --> 00:28:07,839
and was so entitled
and kind of looked like

537
00:28:07,920 --> 00:28:09,880
she was looking down
upon people.

538
00:28:09,960 --> 00:28:12,240
I've always heard that
people hang out at Walmart.

539
00:28:12,319 --> 00:28:13,720
- Why?
- I don't know.

540
00:28:13,799 --> 00:28:15,759
What is Walmart?

541
00:28:15,839 --> 00:28:17,359
She really was capitalizing

542
00:28:17,440 --> 00:28:21,319
on her, like, princess-y,
high-voiced persona.

543
00:28:21,400 --> 00:28:22,799
- That's hot.
- That's hot.

544
00:28:22,880 --> 00:28:23,920
That's hot.
That's hot.

545
00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:25,640
Was definitely known
for her clothing,

546
00:28:25,720 --> 00:28:27,359
had, like,
a zillion and a half

547
00:28:27,440 --> 00:28:30,160
Juicy Couture sweatsuits.

548
00:28:30,240 --> 00:28:32,960
Paris Hilton in Uggs
holding Tinker Bell.

549
00:28:33,039 --> 00:28:35,519
That's, like,
the avatar in my head.

550
00:28:35,599 --> 00:28:39,400
I used to have a really big
fascination with Paris Hilton.

551
00:28:41,640 --> 00:28:46,319
Eden Hilton was the Myspace
name that I went by.

552
00:28:46,400 --> 00:28:50,039
I had a internet sister
named Amor Hilton,

553
00:28:50,119 --> 00:28:53,519
and we would just pretend
to be related to the Hiltons

554
00:28:53,599 --> 00:28:55,920
and make little vlogs
for my YouTube.

555
00:28:56,000 --> 00:28:57,440
Yes.
We're the Hiltons.

556
00:28:57,519 --> 00:28:58,559
Leave us alone.

557
00:28:58,640 --> 00:28:59,680
Geez.

558
00:29:01,079 --> 00:29:03,000
- What did you get?
- Diamonds.

559
00:29:03,079 --> 00:29:04,240
Hello, Paris.

560
00:29:04,319 --> 00:29:06,680
Her lifestyle was, like,
"I'm gonna just get paid

561
00:29:06,759 --> 00:29:09,640
for being myself."

562
00:29:09,720 --> 00:29:11,680
And I always looked at that,
and I was, like, "Wow.

563
00:29:11,759 --> 00:29:13,759
I strive to be like that
one day."

564
00:29:15,799 --> 00:29:17,119
The reason
they chose Paris first

565
00:29:17,200 --> 00:29:18,519
was because
she had so much shit

566
00:29:18,599 --> 00:29:21,279
that she would never notice.

567
00:29:21,359 --> 00:29:24,440
To me,
it was just a sure shot.

568
00:29:24,519 --> 00:29:26,880
It's like, if you go
into a celebrity home,

569
00:29:26,960 --> 00:29:29,880
most likely, you're gonna see
a lot cooler things

570
00:29:29,960 --> 00:29:31,759
or nicer things.

571
00:29:33,279 --> 00:29:38,200
But going up
to Paris Hilton's home,

572
00:29:38,279 --> 00:29:42,440
I felt like my heart was
gonna combust out of me.

573
00:29:42,519 --> 00:29:44,920
Me and Nick--
we were like, "Okay.

574
00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:46,759
"Does your heart feel like it's
about to pop out of its chest?

575
00:29:46,839 --> 00:29:48,839
Because mine does, too."

576
00:29:48,920 --> 00:29:51,000
"Okay.
Let's keep going."

577
00:29:51,079 --> 00:29:55,200
We were, like,
cheerleading each other on.

578
00:29:55,279 --> 00:29:59,319
It was because we had
each other we could do it.

579
00:29:59,400 --> 00:30:01,039
And then
kind of as a joke, like,

580
00:30:01,119 --> 00:30:02,240
"Let's go to the front door.

581
00:30:02,319 --> 00:30:04,400
Do you think the key is
underneath the doormat?"

582
00:30:04,480 --> 00:30:06,039
They found the key
right under the mat.

583
00:30:06,119 --> 00:30:07,200
"No way!

584
00:30:07,279 --> 00:30:08,480
The key is underneath
the doormat."

585
00:30:08,559 --> 00:30:09,920
And that's how they got in.

586
00:30:12,680 --> 00:30:14,759
Being inside the home--

587
00:30:14,839 --> 00:30:17,960
it was almost like
I was on a set.

588
00:30:18,039 --> 00:30:20,400
It didn't seem real.

589
00:30:20,480 --> 00:30:22,319
I was like,
"How is it so perfect?

590
00:30:22,400 --> 00:30:23,720
"People actually live
like this?

591
00:30:23,799 --> 00:30:25,359
Like, this is so lavish."

592
00:30:28,759 --> 00:30:31,279
And there was
that really big fear

593
00:30:31,359 --> 00:30:33,599
that they would come home.

594
00:30:35,440 --> 00:30:38,079
It was like,
"Get what you fucking want,

595
00:30:38,160 --> 00:30:40,440
and let's go, like, now."

596
00:30:41,599 --> 00:30:45,440
There was so much stress
and, like, anxiety behind it.

597
00:30:45,519 --> 00:30:47,519
Yeah, but there obviously
was an adrenaline

598
00:30:47,599 --> 00:30:49,440
- and a thrill in there.
- Yeah.

599
00:30:49,519 --> 00:30:51,759
Yeah.
I am trying my best

600
00:30:51,839 --> 00:30:54,640
to just be
as honest and truthful.

601
00:31:00,680 --> 00:31:03,119
I was--

602
00:31:03,200 --> 00:31:05,799
so what it was for me was--
it was--

603
00:31:05,880 --> 00:31:08,960
like, before the crime
was committed, anxiety.

604
00:31:09,039 --> 00:31:11,079
And then when the crime
was being committed,

605
00:31:11,160 --> 00:31:12,480
it was adrenaline,

606
00:31:12,559 --> 00:31:15,640
and then,
when the crime was over,

607
00:31:15,720 --> 00:31:19,119
I felt so high
and clear-headed.

608
00:31:19,200 --> 00:31:20,279
Like, it really wakes you up.

609
00:31:20,359 --> 00:31:22,000
Like, you're not,
like, sleepy at all.

610
00:31:22,079 --> 00:31:25,960
And I really liked
that feeling a lot.

611
00:31:39,680 --> 00:31:42,480
They went to Paris Hilton's
house multiple times.

612
00:31:44,599 --> 00:31:46,759
The first couple times,
they took small items

613
00:31:46,839 --> 00:31:48,759
that would go unnoticed.

614
00:31:48,839 --> 00:31:52,640
Like a piece of clothing
or a purse, or coke or weed.

615
00:31:54,279 --> 00:31:57,559
One particular time,
we found a lot of cocaine--

616
00:31:57,640 --> 00:31:59,200
a lot.

617
00:31:59,279 --> 00:32:00,960
And we didn't
go to bed that night.

618
00:32:01,039 --> 00:32:04,799
We stayed up all night,
and we just were coked out.

619
00:32:07,599 --> 00:32:09,039
Wow.

620
00:32:28,319 --> 00:32:33,480
The whole time, I was just
numbing myself out on Xanax.

621
00:32:33,559 --> 00:32:35,720
It wasn't ideal for me
to go a whole day

622
00:32:35,799 --> 00:32:37,759
without taking at least,
like, a quarter,

623
00:32:37,839 --> 00:32:42,480
and so I always had
at least one bar on me.

624
00:32:42,559 --> 00:32:45,880
And what did it feel like
when you didn't have it?

625
00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:52,640
I would fight with everybody,
mostly my family.

626
00:32:59,200 --> 00:33:02,119
Aw, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

627
00:33:06,079 --> 00:33:06,960
Hello.

628
00:33:10,000 --> 00:33:11,079
Hi, Dad.

629
00:33:13,559 --> 00:33:14,960
Hi, Shuna.

630
00:33:15,039 --> 00:33:16,359
You are such a cutie.

631
00:33:17,880 --> 00:33:19,319
Do you want to jump in, Dad?

632
00:33:19,400 --> 00:33:20,839
- No.
- Do you want to go in?

633
00:33:20,920 --> 00:33:24,039
My dad always had
my back, no matter what.

634
00:33:24,119 --> 00:33:27,200
But back then,
I didn't appreciate that.

635
00:33:27,279 --> 00:33:31,599
I just put onto my family
that label of "broken family."

636
00:33:45,480 --> 00:33:50,680
When Rachel was young,
sometimes I just happened

637
00:33:50,759 --> 00:33:54,440
to walk with their mom.

638
00:33:54,519 --> 00:33:59,559
Then, because we divorced,

639
00:33:59,640 --> 00:34:01,599
we walked together,

640
00:34:01,680 --> 00:34:03,880
but we have some distance,

641
00:34:03,960 --> 00:34:07,279
and always Rachel in the middle

642
00:34:07,359 --> 00:34:09,960
and take my hands

643
00:34:10,039 --> 00:34:13,840
and take the other hand
with her mom

644
00:34:13,920 --> 00:34:16,679
and walking together.

645
00:34:16,760 --> 00:34:21,800
And sometimes, she, like,

646
00:34:21,880 --> 00:34:26,599
sneak out and, you know,
take my right hand

647
00:34:26,679 --> 00:34:31,679
and my ex-wife's
left hand together

648
00:34:31,760 --> 00:34:34,519
and she just sneak out.

649
00:34:36,159 --> 00:34:40,239
I lived with Rachel's mom
3 1/2 years.

650
00:34:40,320 --> 00:34:43,199
But during those 3 1/2 years,

651
00:34:43,280 --> 00:34:47,880
I filed three times divorce.

652
00:34:47,960 --> 00:34:53,000
It was a crazy process,
but finally, it ended.

653
00:34:56,320 --> 00:35:02,199
I raised Rachel and her sister
with my parents in Seattle.

654
00:35:02,280 --> 00:35:04,159
My grandma--
she was just, like,

655
00:35:04,239 --> 00:35:06,679
the epitome of the most
perfect grandma.

656
00:35:06,760 --> 00:35:10,320
She was always smiling,
and my grandma is my idol.

657
00:35:12,480 --> 00:35:15,480
When Rachel was
eight years old,

658
00:35:15,559 --> 00:35:20,400
somehow I failed managing
my financial structure.

659
00:35:20,480 --> 00:35:24,519
I'm, like,
a professional poker player,

660
00:35:24,599 --> 00:35:28,199
and I'm
a professional, like, gambler.

661
00:35:28,280 --> 00:35:33,960
But maybe this is not
considered as a profession,

662
00:35:34,039 --> 00:35:36,440
but that's what I did.

663
00:35:36,519 --> 00:35:40,000
And I had some hardship,

664
00:35:40,079 --> 00:35:44,360
so I surrendered my kids,

665
00:35:44,440 --> 00:35:48,880
and I asked her mom
to take care of them.

666
00:35:48,960 --> 00:35:53,400
I always told myself this story
that my dad left me,

667
00:35:53,480 --> 00:35:57,000
and he was an alcoholic
and he was a gambler,

668
00:35:57,079 --> 00:36:00,639
and that
he didn't really love me.

669
00:36:00,719 --> 00:36:04,440
I couldn't understand why
it was happening to me.

670
00:36:04,519 --> 00:36:08,039
I have felt always guilty.

671
00:36:08,119 --> 00:36:10,480
I just didn't have

672
00:36:10,559 --> 00:36:14,760
a proper financial condition

673
00:36:14,840 --> 00:36:16,800
to live with them,
so I surrendered.

674
00:36:19,639 --> 00:36:21,760
I thought they could be raised

675
00:36:21,840 --> 00:36:26,519
at a better environment
in Calabasas.

676
00:36:26,599 --> 00:36:30,480
The record shows it was not.

677
00:36:34,360 --> 00:36:36,840
I didn't like my world.

678
00:36:36,920 --> 00:36:40,840
Going into a celebrity home
and trying on their stuff,

679
00:36:40,920 --> 00:36:42,800
I was able to live
in their world.

680
00:36:42,880 --> 00:36:45,079
Socialite Paris Hilton
is said to be distraught

681
00:36:45,159 --> 00:36:47,800
after a burglar
ransacked her LA bedroom.

682
00:36:47,880 --> 00:36:49,000
Police say the thief made off

683
00:36:49,079 --> 00:36:50,679
with about $2 million
in jewelry.

684
00:36:50,760 --> 00:36:52,599
More celebrities
added to a list of victims

685
00:36:52,679 --> 00:36:55,079
in a string of
high-profile burglaries in LA.

686
00:36:55,159 --> 00:36:56,679
Audrina Patridge, a regular

687
00:36:56,760 --> 00:36:58,320
on the reality series
"The Hills."

688
00:36:58,400 --> 00:37:00,599
Former star of "The OC,"
Rachel Bilson.

689
00:37:00,679 --> 00:37:03,119
They studied
when these young celebrities

690
00:37:03,199 --> 00:37:07,840
would be home or not based on
what they saw on "TMZ."

691
00:37:12,760 --> 00:37:14,679
You know, the social media
of the celebrities.

692
00:37:14,760 --> 00:37:16,239
Seeing, like,
where were they?

693
00:37:16,320 --> 00:37:18,679
Did Paris have
a club appearance in Dubai?

694
00:37:18,760 --> 00:37:21,320
Like, was Audrina
going to Vegas

695
00:37:21,400 --> 00:37:22,880
for, like, the opening
of Tao or something?

696
00:37:22,960 --> 00:37:24,039
They'd be like, "Okay,

697
00:37:24,119 --> 00:37:25,639
"this person's gonna be
out of town.

698
00:37:25,719 --> 00:37:28,800
This might be an opening for us
to go scope out their house."

699
00:37:28,880 --> 00:37:31,199
I have to give them
credit for that.

700
00:37:31,280 --> 00:37:33,920
I don't think that there was
any other case before them

701
00:37:34,000 --> 00:37:35,639
that used social media.

702
00:37:37,639 --> 00:37:41,719
Surprisingly, you can feel
energy of a person.

703
00:37:41,800 --> 00:37:44,440
You can feel
when somebody is in a home.

704
00:37:47,599 --> 00:37:49,280
When I took their stuff,

705
00:37:49,360 --> 00:37:52,920
it was an instant feeling
of, like, "Ooh, I'm powerful."

706
00:37:55,159 --> 00:37:57,159
And then,
once we actually step foot

707
00:37:57,239 --> 00:37:58,920
out of the house,
then, all of a sudden,

708
00:37:59,000 --> 00:38:01,880
there was that
huge sense of relief.

709
00:38:01,960 --> 00:38:04,400
"Oh, thank God.
We got away.

710
00:38:04,480 --> 00:38:06,000
It's over."

711
00:38:06,079 --> 00:38:07,400
Then we would
just do it again.

712
00:38:12,760 --> 00:38:15,440
By this point,
they got more players involved.

713
00:38:16,760 --> 00:38:19,079
There was Courtney Ames.

714
00:38:19,159 --> 00:38:20,840
I really wanted
to be friends with her

715
00:38:20,920 --> 00:38:24,440
because she was known in school
to be the badass.

716
00:38:24,519 --> 00:38:26,599
She was always, like,
the girl in high school

717
00:38:26,679 --> 00:38:28,320
I was kind of intimidated by
'cause I was like,

718
00:38:28,400 --> 00:38:31,320
"I'll never be cool enough
to be her friend."

719
00:38:31,400 --> 00:38:35,119
Also, Diana Tamayo,
who was close to Rachel Lee.

720
00:38:35,199 --> 00:38:38,639
She was somebody
who actually works so much,

721
00:38:38,719 --> 00:38:40,440
and she's in high school

722
00:38:40,519 --> 00:38:43,119
and taking care of her brothers
and her family,

723
00:38:43,199 --> 00:38:45,440
and I, you know,

724
00:38:45,519 --> 00:38:47,679
just kind of led her
down that road.

725
00:38:52,280 --> 00:38:54,320
These other players
wanted in

726
00:38:54,400 --> 00:38:55,840
because they were all friends,

727
00:38:55,920 --> 00:38:58,440
and so they joined in
on other burglaries.

728
00:38:58,519 --> 00:38:59,960
Through them,
there were two men

729
00:39:00,039 --> 00:39:01,679
who were brought
into the situation.

730
00:39:01,760 --> 00:39:04,280
That was Roy Lopez
and Johnny Ajar.

731
00:39:04,360 --> 00:39:07,480
Courtney Ames was a waitress
at the Sagebrush Cantina.

732
00:39:07,559 --> 00:39:09,679
She knew Roy through work,

733
00:39:09,760 --> 00:39:11,840
and she kind of told him,

734
00:39:11,920 --> 00:39:14,719
"Well, hey, I've got
this thing going on.

735
00:39:14,800 --> 00:39:17,119
Do you want in?"
He said, "Yes, I want in."

736
00:39:17,199 --> 00:39:20,719
And they're supposed
to help sell off the things

737
00:39:20,800 --> 00:39:23,000
that the kids stole
from the house.

738
00:39:23,079 --> 00:39:26,480
So Rachel and Nick
looped in these other people.

739
00:39:26,559 --> 00:39:28,000
Then they have
this tangential friend,

740
00:39:28,079 --> 00:39:29,199
Alexis Neiers.

741
00:39:33,800 --> 00:39:35,840
This girl, like,
loves going out to clubs.

742
00:39:35,920 --> 00:39:38,800
She's working as a model.

743
00:39:38,880 --> 00:39:41,360
She's hanging out
with her, like, quasi-sister,

744
00:39:41,440 --> 00:39:43,639
friend, Tess Taylor.

745
00:39:43,719 --> 00:39:47,280
Tess and Alexis and Nick
become close.

746
00:39:47,360 --> 00:39:50,079
Rachel was not
pleased about it.

747
00:39:50,159 --> 00:39:52,639
He actually met
Alexis through me,

748
00:39:52,719 --> 00:39:56,719
'cause my friend's boyfriend's
best friend's girlfriend

749
00:39:56,800 --> 00:39:58,239
was Alexis.

750
00:39:58,320 --> 00:40:00,639
So she was always around.

751
00:40:00,719 --> 00:40:03,519
Nick ended up
clicking with Alexis

752
00:40:03,599 --> 00:40:06,280
and then just started hanging out,
like, on their own.

753
00:40:06,360 --> 00:40:08,800
I was not included
in these things,

754
00:40:08,880 --> 00:40:10,760
and I was really jealous
that Nick

755
00:40:10,840 --> 00:40:14,599
was gaining a new best friend.

756
00:40:14,679 --> 00:40:18,039
She had, like, blue eyes
and, like, pretty hair,

757
00:40:18,119 --> 00:40:21,039
and she's, like, so cute, and...

758
00:40:21,119 --> 00:40:23,760
I felt like, I guess
I'm that disposable, huh,

759
00:40:23,840 --> 00:40:25,840
where you can just drop me

760
00:40:25,920 --> 00:40:29,000
and choose these other girls

761
00:40:29,079 --> 00:40:32,519
because you felt like
they were cooler than me?

762
00:40:35,599 --> 00:40:37,920
But when we were stealing,

763
00:40:38,000 --> 00:40:41,920
me and Nick were
still on each other's team.

764
00:40:42,000 --> 00:40:43,840
We were still Bonnie and Clyde.

765
00:40:43,920 --> 00:40:45,320
We're in this together.

766
00:40:47,079 --> 00:40:50,079
When the group got bigger,
all of a sudden,

767
00:40:50,159 --> 00:40:53,280
it went from it being
just me and him

768
00:40:53,360 --> 00:40:55,800
to more of a liability.

769
00:40:55,880 --> 00:40:58,800
It felt very dangerous.

770
00:40:58,880 --> 00:41:02,519
And I, at that point,

771
00:41:02,599 --> 00:41:05,519
really felt--
I was like, "This is bad."

772
00:41:11,280 --> 00:41:12,800
It's hard to, like, understand--

773
00:41:12,880 --> 00:41:15,159
like, if it was so bad
and it was always so scary,

774
00:41:15,239 --> 00:41:19,719
why do you think you went back
time and time again?

775
00:41:22,440 --> 00:41:25,400
Well...

776
00:41:25,480 --> 00:41:29,199
you know, I really liked Xanax.

777
00:41:29,280 --> 00:41:34,639
One of the effects
that it had on me was that it--

778
00:41:34,719 --> 00:41:38,800
that part when I'm high
gets super fuzzy.

779
00:41:38,880 --> 00:41:42,719
What we saw,
evidentiary-wise,

780
00:41:42,800 --> 00:41:45,679
it was not
a drug-motivated crime

781
00:41:45,760 --> 00:41:48,320
or crime spree.

782
00:41:48,400 --> 00:41:51,800
We like to fill in answers
that we don't know.

783
00:41:51,880 --> 00:41:54,039
You want to think there
must be a good reason,

784
00:41:54,119 --> 00:41:56,559
there must be something
going on, it's not their fault.

785
00:41:56,639 --> 00:41:58,079
It's their house,
it's their childhood,

786
00:41:58,159 --> 00:42:00,800
it's mental illness
for drug addiction.

787
00:42:00,880 --> 00:42:02,760
But lots of kids grow up

788
00:42:02,840 --> 00:42:06,280
with way more difficult
circumstances than they did.

789
00:42:06,360 --> 00:42:09,679
I grew up with more difficult
circumstances than they did.

790
00:42:09,760 --> 00:42:11,599
And so to say,
"Oh, well, you know,

791
00:42:11,679 --> 00:42:13,400
she came from
divorced parents,"

792
00:42:13,480 --> 00:42:15,679
or whatever--no.

793
00:42:15,760 --> 00:42:17,360
I think it's really simple.
I do.

794
00:42:17,440 --> 00:42:20,079
I think that they wanted stuff
that they couldn't afford,

795
00:42:20,159 --> 00:42:23,519
and they weren't willing
to work hard to get it.

796
00:42:23,599 --> 00:42:26,000
I don't know.
You know?

797
00:42:26,079 --> 00:42:28,480
Stealing can be
a compulsive behavior,

798
00:42:28,559 --> 00:42:31,639
just like an eating disorder
is really about control.

799
00:42:31,719 --> 00:42:36,119
They had drug problems,
using prescription drugs.

800
00:42:36,199 --> 00:42:38,920
There was a different
mental process going on

801
00:42:39,000 --> 00:42:43,519
than simply,
"I want what Paris Hilton has."

802
00:42:43,599 --> 00:42:46,880
These were troubled kids.

803
00:42:46,960 --> 00:42:49,360
They were not part
of the mainstream.

804
00:42:49,440 --> 00:42:53,480
The racism, the homophobia
even in this privileged place--

805
00:42:53,559 --> 00:42:56,119
it was, in some ways,
worse than anywhere else.

806
00:42:56,199 --> 00:43:00,079
And they wanted, somehow,
desperately to be normal.

807
00:43:03,480 --> 00:43:05,559
Everyone, I think,
had a different reason

808
00:43:05,639 --> 00:43:08,039
why they were doing it.

809
00:43:08,119 --> 00:43:10,079
And for me, it was--

810
00:43:10,159 --> 00:43:12,480
like, honestly,
when I started watching, like,

811
00:43:12,559 --> 00:43:14,679
those Fast and Furious,
Ocean's 11 movies,

812
00:43:14,760 --> 00:43:17,360
I really just, like--

813
00:43:17,440 --> 00:43:21,360
I was like,
"Icon. I want to be that."

814
00:43:21,440 --> 00:43:23,840
You know?
I don't know why.

815
00:43:23,920 --> 00:43:28,159
I don't know why
I thought like that, but I did.

816
00:43:32,679 --> 00:43:34,679
Pirates of the Caribbean star
Orlando Bloom

817
00:43:34,760 --> 00:43:36,639
had some
of his real treasure stolen.

818
00:43:36,719 --> 00:43:38,800
Police say someone broke
into his Hollywood Hills home

819
00:43:38,880 --> 00:43:40,119
yesterday.

820
00:43:40,199 --> 00:43:42,440
The thief got away
with jewelry and cash.

821
00:43:42,519 --> 00:43:44,119
Orlando Bloom, though,
was not home

822
00:43:44,199 --> 00:43:45,679
at the time of the break-in.

823
00:43:45,760 --> 00:43:47,239
The cops said
it was not, like,

824
00:43:47,320 --> 00:43:49,239
a professional operation.

825
00:43:49,320 --> 00:43:52,079
It wasn't, like, some
Mission Impossible shit

826
00:43:52,159 --> 00:43:55,199
with, like, no fingerprints
or something like that.

827
00:43:55,280 --> 00:43:59,320
But no one was, like,
"Maybe it's these teenagers."

828
00:43:59,400 --> 00:44:00,639
Whoa, what?

829
00:44:00,719 --> 00:44:02,559
Once the kids got the items,

830
00:44:02,639 --> 00:44:04,440
some of them were, like,
kind of brazen with them.

831
00:44:04,519 --> 00:44:05,760
Like, they'd wear them
and be like,

832
00:44:05,840 --> 00:44:08,039
"Yeah, I just, like,
got this at Paris's house."

833
00:44:08,119 --> 00:44:09,599
What's the fun
of being able to get

834
00:44:09,679 --> 00:44:12,280
into Paris Hilton's house
if you can't tell somebody?

835
00:44:12,360 --> 00:44:13,239
Like,
"Hey, I've been in there.

836
00:44:13,320 --> 00:44:14,280
"I've been in there twice.

837
00:44:14,360 --> 00:44:15,840
I've been in there
three times."

838
00:44:17,519 --> 00:44:20,440
It was so irresistible
that you're overcoming

839
00:44:20,519 --> 00:44:23,119
your own instinct
for self-preservation.

840
00:44:23,199 --> 00:44:26,199
They would be wearing items
that were stolen

841
00:44:26,280 --> 00:44:29,280
and posting it
on social media.

842
00:44:29,360 --> 00:44:32,239
Other items were sold,
like, on Venice Beach.

843
00:44:32,320 --> 00:44:34,199
I never sold anything.

844
00:44:34,280 --> 00:44:36,320
I gave a lot of stuff away.
I did.

845
00:44:36,400 --> 00:44:38,199
What was the--what was
the Venice Beach thing?

846
00:44:38,280 --> 00:44:39,280
Was that anything?

847
00:44:39,360 --> 00:44:42,800
Oh.
That one--that--that--

848
00:44:42,880 --> 00:44:44,960
Okay, yes.
Then we did sell.

849
00:44:45,039 --> 00:44:49,280
I did sell some--that was--
that was that time, yes.

850
00:44:49,360 --> 00:44:51,320
I think I came up
with the idea, actually.

851
00:44:51,400 --> 00:44:53,440
I was like,
"What if we just, like,

852
00:44:53,519 --> 00:44:55,480
"went to Venice and like,
just opened up a carpet

853
00:44:55,559 --> 00:44:57,960
and just, like, 20 bucks,
everything?"

854
00:44:58,039 --> 00:44:59,320
People were flocking.

855
00:44:59,400 --> 00:45:00,960
And they were like,
"What's that? What's this?

856
00:45:01,039 --> 00:45:02,000
What's that? What's this?"

857
00:45:02,079 --> 00:45:03,880
And we were just, like,
"It's fake, it's real.

858
00:45:03,960 --> 00:45:05,800
Take it if you want it."

859
00:45:05,880 --> 00:45:08,559
We sold everything
in less than 15 minutes.

860
00:45:23,119 --> 00:45:25,599
One day,
somebody texted me.

861
00:45:25,679 --> 00:45:29,840
And they said, "Holy shit,
I think I see you on 'TMZ.'"

862
00:45:34,800 --> 00:45:36,559
There was
surveillance footage

863
00:45:36,639 --> 00:45:40,239
from Audrina Patridge
that was run on TMZ,

864
00:45:40,320 --> 00:45:41,920
and everyone would see
these videos.

865
00:45:44,079 --> 00:45:45,920
I called Nick, and I was like,

866
00:45:46,000 --> 00:45:47,480
"Oh, my God, go to 'TMZ.'

867
00:45:47,559 --> 00:45:50,920
"Like, shit, bro.
Like, this is bad.

868
00:45:54,480 --> 00:45:56,199
"We're surrounded by menaces.

869
00:45:56,280 --> 00:45:59,239
Like, somebody's
gonna rat us out."

870
00:45:59,320 --> 00:46:02,840
And I was just like,
"What do I do?"

871
00:46:02,920 --> 00:46:05,199
And so...

872
00:46:05,280 --> 00:46:07,719
I call my dad.

873
00:46:07,800 --> 00:46:13,119
I knew she's gonna get
caught sooner or later.

874
00:46:13,199 --> 00:46:16,960
So I wanted to cut

875
00:46:17,039 --> 00:46:19,159
the relationship
with those friends

876
00:46:19,239 --> 00:46:22,559
by relocating her
from LA to Las Vegas.

877
00:46:22,639 --> 00:46:24,280
Rachel Lee's dad
lived in Las Vegas,

878
00:46:24,360 --> 00:46:26,239
and she had, you know,
went there--

879
00:46:26,320 --> 00:46:29,880
fled there soon after things
started unraveling.

880
00:46:33,239 --> 00:46:35,719
My dad got me
out of that area,

881
00:46:35,800 --> 00:46:37,400
away from those people.

882
00:46:37,480 --> 00:46:40,559
He told me, go to college,
like, try to start a new life.

883
00:46:40,639 --> 00:46:43,119
Just stay out of sight.

884
00:46:47,800 --> 00:46:52,079
But there was
one particular night

885
00:46:52,159 --> 00:46:54,519
that my friends called me.

886
00:46:54,599 --> 00:46:56,440
And they said,
"Let's go steal."

887
00:46:56,519 --> 00:46:59,199
And I was all the way
in Vegas, and I said,

888
00:46:59,280 --> 00:47:00,679
"I'll be there in four hours."

889
00:47:02,840 --> 00:47:05,559
I was so manipulative, and I--

890
00:47:05,639 --> 00:47:06,960
me and my dad--

891
00:47:07,039 --> 00:47:08,199
we smoked together.

892
00:47:08,280 --> 00:47:10,760
I am blessed to be able
to smoke weed with my dad.

893
00:47:10,840 --> 00:47:14,599
But I--we were smoking together,
and I purposely rolled us,

894
00:47:14,679 --> 00:47:16,519
like, a really big joint

895
00:47:16,599 --> 00:47:18,280
so I could, like,
get him super high

896
00:47:18,360 --> 00:47:19,920
and just knock him out.

897
00:47:20,000 --> 00:47:21,159
And I just remember
we were, like,

898
00:47:21,239 --> 00:47:23,800
hanging out on the couch,
like, watching a Korean drama,

899
00:47:23,880 --> 00:47:25,480
and then I just, like,
sparked up the joint,

900
00:47:25,559 --> 00:47:27,880
and we were smoking.

901
00:47:27,960 --> 00:47:29,920
After his first puff,

902
00:47:30,000 --> 00:47:31,840
he put it down.
He said, "I'm done."

903
00:47:31,920 --> 00:47:33,679
And I said, "Let's finish it."

904
00:47:33,760 --> 00:47:35,599
And he said,
"You smoke too much.

905
00:47:35,679 --> 00:47:37,559
He's like, "You don't need
to smoke so much.

906
00:47:37,639 --> 00:47:38,840
"Just enjoy.

907
00:47:38,920 --> 00:47:41,239
"Just take one little
and just enjoy it.

908
00:47:41,320 --> 00:47:43,360
Like, why do you have
to get so high-high?"

909
00:47:43,440 --> 00:47:46,000
And I told my dad,
"Hey, I'm gonna go to LA,

910
00:47:46,079 --> 00:47:48,800
and I'm gonna just go
with my friends."

911
00:47:48,880 --> 00:47:50,199
And he looked at me.

912
00:47:50,280 --> 00:47:51,480
I will never forget.

913
00:47:51,559 --> 00:47:53,199
His eyes got so big.

914
00:47:53,280 --> 00:47:56,079
It's really hard to get, like,
a reaction out of my dad.

915
00:47:56,159 --> 00:47:58,000
He doesn't raise his voice,
but I remember,

916
00:47:58,079 --> 00:48:01,440
his voice got so loud,
and he just yelled, "No!

917
00:48:01,519 --> 00:48:02,719
No!"

918
00:48:02,800 --> 00:48:05,679
And I--I kind of played
off that card of--

919
00:48:05,760 --> 00:48:07,239
I wanted him to feel crazy.

920
00:48:07,320 --> 00:48:09,239
And so I was like,
"All right, dude."

921
00:48:09,320 --> 00:48:10,840
Like, "You're tripping."
You know?

922
00:48:10,920 --> 00:48:12,199
Like, "Calm down."

923
00:48:12,280 --> 00:48:13,800
And I was like,
"All right, I'm gonna go."

924
00:48:13,880 --> 00:48:17,719
I tried to stop her,

925
00:48:17,800 --> 00:48:21,199
but I didn't know...

926
00:48:21,280 --> 00:48:25,079
how to persuade
or how to change her mind.

927
00:48:27,559 --> 00:48:31,480
I got my things,
and I remember taking Xanax,

928
00:48:31,559 --> 00:48:32,639
and I left.

929
00:48:36,079 --> 00:48:39,719
It really sounds psychotic,

930
00:48:39,800 --> 00:48:42,920
but I still felt that FOMO.

931
00:48:48,159 --> 00:48:53,760
I remember pulling up,
and Nick was there.

932
00:48:53,840 --> 00:48:56,239
The stakes were so high,

933
00:48:56,320 --> 00:48:58,719
because there was
already surveillance of us.

934
00:48:58,800 --> 00:49:02,039
And at this point,
we were, like,

935
00:49:02,119 --> 00:49:04,559
just on that actual edge.

936
00:49:06,400 --> 00:49:09,519
And I think there was
a part of me that was like,

937
00:49:09,599 --> 00:49:11,960
"I'm going to finish strong."

938
00:49:12,039 --> 00:49:14,559
What you're watching
is surveillance video

939
00:49:14,639 --> 00:49:17,119
inside actress
Lindsay Lohan's home.

940
00:49:17,199 --> 00:49:19,239
Lohan is just one
of ten victims

941
00:49:19,320 --> 00:49:21,800
of the burglars' almost
year-long crime spree

942
00:49:21,880 --> 00:49:22,960
targeting the homes

943
00:49:23,039 --> 00:49:25,119
of Hollywood's young
and famous.

944
00:49:25,199 --> 00:49:27,760
The surveillance video
from Lindsay Lohan's house

945
00:49:27,840 --> 00:49:28,719
alerted the cops.

946
00:49:28,800 --> 00:49:30,679
Because you can see
the commonalities

947
00:49:30,760 --> 00:49:33,320
in Audrina's
and Lindsay's footage.

948
00:49:33,400 --> 00:49:35,440
But even when they were
caught on surveillance,

949
00:49:35,519 --> 00:49:37,800
I mean, that alone
would not have been enough.

950
00:49:37,880 --> 00:49:39,519
They were wearing hoodies.

951
00:49:39,599 --> 00:49:41,840
They had their head down.

952
00:49:41,920 --> 00:49:45,639
Really, what put all the pieces
together was Nick Prugo.

953
00:50:07,239 --> 00:50:09,840
Shortly after
the Lindsay Lohan surveillance

954
00:50:09,920 --> 00:50:13,320
was released, me and Nick
decided to meet up,

955
00:50:13,400 --> 00:50:17,159
and I got in his car,
into the passenger seat.

956
00:50:17,239 --> 00:50:21,440
I said to him,

957
00:50:21,519 --> 00:50:24,400
"This is really bad,
what's happening to us.

958
00:50:24,480 --> 00:50:25,639
This is really, really bad."

959
00:50:25,719 --> 00:50:28,000
And I was like, "I don't know
what's gonna happen to us."

960
00:50:28,079 --> 00:50:29,880
And I remember I put my hand
on his shoulder,

961
00:50:29,960 --> 00:50:31,719
and I said,
"But I love you so much.

962
00:50:31,800 --> 00:50:33,599
I'll never betray you."

963
00:50:36,760 --> 00:50:40,519
And then, like,
within 24 hours,

964
00:50:40,599 --> 00:50:41,840
I saw all over the news,

965
00:50:41,920 --> 00:50:44,000
Nick Prugo went
to the police station

966
00:50:44,079 --> 00:50:46,559
and did a full confession,
brought in all the property.

967
00:50:52,559 --> 00:50:55,400
Nick was willing
to just tell us everything.

968
00:50:55,480 --> 00:50:58,039
He just basically
gives them

969
00:50:58,119 --> 00:50:59,920
not only the crimes
they were looking at,

970
00:51:00,000 --> 00:51:01,760
but every other crime.

971
00:51:01,840 --> 00:51:05,039
Now authorities say
Brian Austin Green, Megan Fox,

972
00:51:05,119 --> 00:51:07,559
and Ashley Tisdale
were also victimized.

973
00:51:07,639 --> 00:51:11,519
He kind of walked us
through every single burglary

974
00:51:11,599 --> 00:51:13,440
and who was there with him.

975
00:51:13,519 --> 00:51:14,400
Courtney.

976
00:51:14,480 --> 00:51:15,840
I got you.
Thank you.

977
00:51:15,920 --> 00:51:16,800
Here, Courtney.

978
00:51:16,880 --> 00:51:17,760
Who planned it?

979
00:51:17,840 --> 00:51:19,119
Is Nick running the ring?

980
00:51:19,199 --> 00:51:20,480
Did you do it?

981
00:51:20,559 --> 00:51:21,599
No, I didn't do it for Nick.

982
00:51:21,679 --> 00:51:23,519
I didn't do jack shit.

983
00:51:23,599 --> 00:51:26,079
Did Nick trick you into it?

984
00:51:31,119 --> 00:51:33,280
He was betraying everybody,

985
00:51:33,360 --> 00:51:36,800
but I was still sure
he would protect me.

986
00:51:38,639 --> 00:51:41,800
I was in Las Vegas
with my dad at the time

987
00:51:41,880 --> 00:51:43,960
and my grandmother.

988
00:51:44,039 --> 00:51:46,880
Nick called me in the morning.

989
00:51:46,960 --> 00:51:48,599
After his confession,

990
00:51:48,679 --> 00:51:52,719
I know that it doesn't
make sense to talk to him,

991
00:51:52,800 --> 00:51:56,320
but me and Nick
were still best friends.

992
00:51:56,400 --> 00:51:58,199
I remember when I answered
the phone,

993
00:51:58,280 --> 00:52:00,960
it wasn't our usual vibe.

994
00:52:01,039 --> 00:52:02,760
It felt weird.

995
00:52:02,840 --> 00:52:04,800
Because what he had said was,

996
00:52:04,880 --> 00:52:07,320
"Oh, I was thinking
about something,

997
00:52:07,400 --> 00:52:10,880
"and I totally forgot
your dad's street address.

998
00:52:10,960 --> 00:52:13,119
What was the street name
called again?"

999
00:52:13,199 --> 00:52:15,880
And I was like, "Oh, okay."

1000
00:52:15,960 --> 00:52:17,280
And I said it,
and he was like,

1001
00:52:17,360 --> 00:52:18,800
"Oh, yeah. That's right.
That's what it was."

1002
00:52:18,880 --> 00:52:20,840
He's like, "Oh, yeah.
I just wanted to know."

1003
00:52:20,920 --> 00:52:22,719
And he was like, "Okay,
anyways I'll call you later."

1004
00:52:22,800 --> 00:52:24,039
I was like, "All right, bye."

1005
00:52:24,119 --> 00:52:25,760
Like, "Have a good day."

1006
00:52:25,840 --> 00:52:27,840
As I was saying that,
I just saw black, black,

1007
00:52:27,920 --> 00:52:29,920
black, black, black,
black, black,

1008
00:52:30,000 --> 00:52:31,960
and then pounding on the door.

1009
00:52:33,199 --> 00:52:34,719
Nick betrayed me.

1010
00:52:36,840 --> 00:52:39,559
The door swung open as if
it was, like, a bomb squad,

1011
00:52:39,639 --> 00:52:43,679
and there were so many of them,
like, just piling into the house.

1012
00:52:43,760 --> 00:52:46,320
The first guy that came in,
like, grabbed the dog

1013
00:52:46,400 --> 00:52:47,719
and kind of, like,
kicked the dog.

1014
00:52:47,800 --> 00:52:49,039
And I remember--

1015
00:52:49,119 --> 00:52:51,519
I usually--
I'm not a violent person.

1016
00:52:51,599 --> 00:52:52,679
I'm really not.

1017
00:52:52,760 --> 00:52:54,679
But I like kind of, like,
charged him a little bit.

1018
00:52:54,760 --> 00:52:56,679
I was like,
"Don't touch my dog like that."

1019
00:52:58,840 --> 00:53:02,119
The whole time, like, they were
just tossing the house.

1020
00:53:02,199 --> 00:53:03,920
They were going
through my dad's stuff.

1021
00:53:04,000 --> 00:53:07,039
They took $20,000 in cash.

1022
00:53:07,119 --> 00:53:08,440
That was my money.

1023
00:53:08,519 --> 00:53:11,239
That was
my gambling seed money.

1024
00:53:11,320 --> 00:53:13,239
They took
my grandma's fur coat

1025
00:53:13,320 --> 00:53:15,880
'cause they thought it was,
like, Lindsay Lohan's.

1026
00:53:15,960 --> 00:53:17,119
They were trying to talk
to my grandma.

1027
00:53:17,199 --> 00:53:18,360
I said,
"She can't speak English.

1028
00:53:18,440 --> 00:53:19,440
Don't speak to her."

1029
00:53:19,519 --> 00:53:21,880
And she says to me in Korean...

1030
00:53:24,599 --> 00:53:26,159
She said,
"I don't like these people.

1031
00:53:26,239 --> 00:53:28,320
Don't say anything to them."

1032
00:53:28,400 --> 00:53:32,440
And then finally, they found
a ripped-up photo in--

1033
00:53:34,719 --> 00:53:39,360
They found a ripped-up photo
of Paris Hilton naked

1034
00:53:39,440 --> 00:53:42,159
in my bathroom trash can.

1035
00:53:42,239 --> 00:53:44,920
The cops all were so happy.

1036
00:53:45,000 --> 00:53:46,960
They're like,
"Whew, we got her.

1037
00:53:47,039 --> 00:53:48,639
Got the evidence we needed."

1038
00:53:48,719 --> 00:53:54,079
The detective said to me,
"This is a game of musical chairs.

1039
00:53:54,159 --> 00:53:55,800
"And we've already talked
to all your friends,

1040
00:53:55,880 --> 00:53:57,639
and you're the only one
without a chair."

1041
00:53:59,559 --> 00:54:00,719
Rachel Lee was arrested

1042
00:54:00,800 --> 00:54:02,840
on warrants from California
yesterday.

1043
00:54:02,920 --> 00:54:04,320
One of Lee's
co-defendants says

1044
00:54:04,400 --> 00:54:05,960
that she was the one
who suggested

1045
00:54:06,039 --> 00:54:07,239
which celebrities to target.

1046
00:54:07,320 --> 00:54:09,280
Lee is now facing
charges in Las Vegas

1047
00:54:09,360 --> 00:54:11,000
of possessing stolen property

1048
00:54:11,079 --> 00:54:13,199
and charges of burglary
in Los Angeles.

1049
00:54:25,599 --> 00:54:28,679
I think a lot of my peers
would have wanted the case.

1050
00:54:28,760 --> 00:54:31,880
Everybody was interested
in trying big cases,

1051
00:54:31,960 --> 00:54:33,119
media cases,

1052
00:54:33,199 --> 00:54:37,719
cases that show that the office
trusted you as an attorney.

1053
00:54:37,800 --> 00:54:41,599
I did not wanna take it
because it was gonna be a mess.

1054
00:54:41,679 --> 00:54:43,639
They decided
to assign me the case.

1055
00:54:43,719 --> 00:54:46,840
Can you tell us about
the prosecution's positioning?

1056
00:54:46,920 --> 00:54:48,320
Well, it was
the people's position

1057
00:54:48,400 --> 00:54:50,280
that we always encourage
disposition of cases.

1058
00:54:50,360 --> 00:54:51,679
We're always open to--

1059
00:54:51,760 --> 00:54:54,079
I knew that because
of the media attention,

1060
00:54:54,159 --> 00:54:56,679
there would be more scrutiny
both outside of the office

1061
00:54:56,760 --> 00:54:59,079
and within the office
from my supervisors.

1062
00:54:59,159 --> 00:55:01,360
I had to be more careful
about what I talked about

1063
00:55:01,440 --> 00:55:03,639
in terms of the case,
and where I talked about it.

1064
00:55:03,719 --> 00:55:05,000
Yeah, so we can't talk
about those,

1065
00:55:05,079 --> 00:55:06,679
so that's all for now.

1066
00:55:06,760 --> 00:55:09,119
First step is always
to contact the IO,

1067
00:55:09,199 --> 00:55:10,519
the investigating officer,

1068
00:55:10,599 --> 00:55:12,239
and talk about
the investigation.

1069
00:55:12,320 --> 00:55:14,039
Who was the investigating
officer assigned?

1070
00:55:14,119 --> 00:55:15,440
Brett Goodkin.

1071
00:55:15,519 --> 00:55:16,719
Officer Brett Goodkin

1072
00:55:16,800 --> 00:55:19,079
has worked
the LAPD's Hollywood station

1073
00:55:19,159 --> 00:55:20,400
for six years.

1074
00:55:20,480 --> 00:55:22,639
Officer Brett Goodkin
investigated the Bling Ring.

1075
00:55:22,719 --> 00:55:25,000
Is there some aspect of this
that this burglary crew

1076
00:55:25,079 --> 00:55:27,679
targeted these people
because of a fascination

1077
00:55:27,760 --> 00:55:30,039
with celebrity--you know,
there's absolutely that.

1078
00:55:30,119 --> 00:55:32,079
Brett Goodkin,
the lead investigator,

1079
00:55:32,159 --> 00:55:34,679
was just willing to blab.

1080
00:55:34,760 --> 00:55:36,719
As a reporter,
it's not my job to tell

1081
00:55:36,800 --> 00:55:38,400
Brett Goodkin to shut up.

1082
00:55:38,480 --> 00:55:39,920
Keep on talking, buddy.

1083
00:55:40,000 --> 00:55:41,679
I love this.

1084
00:55:41,760 --> 00:55:43,039
He was
the detective in charge

1085
00:55:43,119 --> 00:55:44,320
of the whole investigation.

1086
00:55:44,400 --> 00:55:47,159
The charges range
from residential burglary

1087
00:55:47,239 --> 00:55:49,840
to felon in possession
of multiple firearms.

1088
00:55:52,440 --> 00:55:53,360
I had no contact

1089
00:55:53,440 --> 00:55:54,840
with any celebrities
up until this point.

1090
00:55:54,920 --> 00:55:56,280
I didn't know
how the world worked.

1091
00:55:58,599 --> 00:56:00,599
I had never dealt
with victims

1092
00:56:00,679 --> 00:56:01,960
who had personal assistants

1093
00:56:02,039 --> 00:56:03,119
who then had
personal assistants.

1094
00:56:03,199 --> 00:56:05,119
And I was like, "Wait,
I need to talk to the victim.

1095
00:56:05,199 --> 00:56:06,239
"I need to talk to the victim.

1096
00:56:06,320 --> 00:56:07,400
I can't talk
to their assistant."

1097
00:56:07,480 --> 00:56:09,039
How much contact
with celebrities

1098
00:56:09,119 --> 00:56:10,159
is, like, part of that job?

1099
00:56:10,239 --> 00:56:11,719
It's a big part of the job.

1100
00:56:11,800 --> 00:56:14,360
I deferred a lot
to my investigating officer

1101
00:56:14,440 --> 00:56:17,360
who had had contact with them
in order to have them identify

1102
00:56:17,440 --> 00:56:20,719
stolen property, et cetera,
and tried to communicate

1103
00:56:20,800 --> 00:56:22,400
as much as I could through him.

1104
00:56:22,480 --> 00:56:25,880
She really did have to deal
with a lot of stupid bullshit.

1105
00:56:25,960 --> 00:56:28,960
But it was not a bad case.
It was a strong case.

1106
00:56:29,039 --> 00:56:31,800
There was a lot of evidence
that we found and recovered.

1107
00:56:31,880 --> 00:56:34,360
Based on Nick's statement,
they found stolen property

1108
00:56:34,440 --> 00:56:36,000
in the homes
of the defendants.

1109
00:56:36,079 --> 00:56:39,079
I mean, millions of dollars'
worth of items.

1110
00:56:43,960 --> 00:56:45,920
Chanel costume jewelry,
necklaces,

1111
00:56:46,000 --> 00:56:47,360
scarves, stuff like that.

1112
00:56:47,440 --> 00:56:49,920
A shitload
of clothing and shoes.

1113
00:56:50,000 --> 00:56:52,840
Rolex watches
from Orlando Bloom's house.

1114
00:56:52,920 --> 00:56:55,159
Jewelry from
Lindsay Lohan's house.

1115
00:56:55,239 --> 00:56:56,800
Marc Jacobs purses.

1116
00:56:56,880 --> 00:56:59,639
A gun from
Brian Austin Green's house.

1117
00:56:59,719 --> 00:57:01,440
They went
into Paris Hilton's house,

1118
00:57:01,519 --> 00:57:03,159
and they basically
just cleared,

1119
00:57:03,239 --> 00:57:04,599
like, a jewelry shelf.

1120
00:57:05,840 --> 00:57:07,199
People were obsessed.

1121
00:57:07,280 --> 00:57:08,679
Like, the courthouse
in downtown LA

1122
00:57:08,760 --> 00:57:10,679
where these kids would show up,

1123
00:57:10,760 --> 00:57:13,360
every single appearance
was swarmed

1124
00:57:13,440 --> 00:57:16,199
with television cameras
from legitimate news outlets,

1125
00:57:16,280 --> 00:57:19,280
and then celebrity
news outlets like "TMZ."

1126
00:57:19,360 --> 00:57:22,800
Are you gonna make
a deal, Rachel, or what?

1127
00:57:22,880 --> 00:57:25,320
How does it feel to be a rat?

1128
00:57:25,400 --> 00:57:27,760
It's just like--
it's a shit show.

1129
00:57:27,840 --> 00:57:29,840
Courtney,
can we see the tattoo?

1130
00:57:29,920 --> 00:57:31,760
- What'd you get?
- It's LA, baby.

1131
00:57:31,840 --> 00:57:33,000
These kids want to be famous.

1132
00:57:33,079 --> 00:57:35,639
Well, I'm definitely sorry
for what I've done.

1133
00:57:35,719 --> 00:57:38,760
I'm trying to take early
responsibility of my crimes--

1134
00:57:38,840 --> 00:57:41,000
Nick Prugo kept
appearing on the news.

1135
00:57:41,079 --> 00:57:42,119
We, you know, thought,

1136
00:57:42,199 --> 00:57:43,559
"These people are celebrities.
They have everything."

1137
00:57:43,639 --> 00:57:45,960
Alexis Neiers was, like,
filming her show.

1138
00:57:46,039 --> 00:57:48,159
Coming up
on "Pretty Wild"...

1139
00:57:48,239 --> 00:57:49,400
I'm sorry, Alexis.

1140
00:57:49,480 --> 00:57:51,280
We're going to have to pull you
from LA Fashion Week.

1141
00:57:52,599 --> 00:57:54,480
She was in the midst
of this reality show--

1142
00:57:54,559 --> 00:57:57,159
"Pretty Wild,"
which is supposed to be

1143
00:57:57,239 --> 00:57:58,760
a reality show following

1144
00:57:58,840 --> 00:58:01,719
a fun, unconventional family
in Hollywood.

1145
00:58:01,800 --> 00:58:03,480
Let's do the frequency
machine on you.

1146
00:58:03,559 --> 00:58:05,239
As they're filming,
like, the pilot,

1147
00:58:05,320 --> 00:58:08,760
all of this Bling Ring stuff
is coming out in the news,

1148
00:58:08,840 --> 00:58:13,000
and Alexis
is getting arrested.

1149
00:58:13,079 --> 00:58:15,000
- Finally.
- Are you all right?

1150
00:58:15,079 --> 00:58:17,719
- How did you do it?
- I am not good.

1151
00:58:17,800 --> 00:58:21,000
So the show just became
appointment television.

1152
00:58:21,079 --> 00:58:22,360
Like, you wanted to see that.

1153
00:58:22,440 --> 00:58:24,239
- Hi, guys.
- Hi, honey.

1154
00:58:24,320 --> 00:58:25,400
I went shopping today.

1155
00:58:25,480 --> 00:58:28,039
She was a character
that people were familiar with

1156
00:58:28,119 --> 00:58:30,079
almost as much as Audrina

1157
00:58:30,159 --> 00:58:32,320
or other reality stars
that she was robbing.

1158
00:58:32,400 --> 00:58:35,239
You and Tess, it seems like--
you have a kind of a--

1159
00:58:35,320 --> 00:58:38,280
I mean, the kind of life
that a lot of teenagers

1160
00:58:38,360 --> 00:58:39,840
just kind of dream
about having.

1161
00:58:39,920 --> 00:58:42,519
At the end of the day,
we are so wholesome

1162
00:58:42,599 --> 00:58:43,639
and down to earth.

1163
00:58:43,719 --> 00:58:44,719
Nancy Jo Sales,

1164
00:58:44,800 --> 00:58:46,280
who was a writer
for "Vanity Fair,"

1165
00:58:46,360 --> 00:58:49,159
was writing a story
about the Bling Ring case,

1166
00:58:49,239 --> 00:58:53,039
and Alexis Neiers was sort
of her, like, big interview.

1167
00:58:53,119 --> 00:58:55,719
The headline was,
"The Suspects Wore Louboutins,"

1168
00:58:55,800 --> 00:58:56,960
and there's this picture
of Alexis

1169
00:58:57,039 --> 00:58:58,920
looking glamorous and stuff.

1170
00:58:59,000 --> 00:59:00,199
Give me the magazine.

1171
00:59:00,280 --> 00:59:01,599
I got the issue.

1172
00:59:01,679 --> 00:59:03,360
This is the issue
you girls are in.

1173
00:59:03,440 --> 00:59:05,199
- Whoo!
- No way.

1174
00:59:05,280 --> 00:59:06,599
This is so cool.

1175
00:59:06,679 --> 00:59:08,800
In a scene
on "Pretty Wild,"

1176
00:59:08,880 --> 00:59:10,840
they open the magazine,
and instantly,

1177
00:59:10,920 --> 00:59:13,079
like, tears are just flowing.

1178
00:59:13,159 --> 00:59:16,119
She thought I was wearing
6-inch Louboutins

1179
00:59:16,199 --> 00:59:18,039
to court with my tweed outfit.

1180
00:59:18,119 --> 00:59:19,119
I wasn't wearing Louboutins.

1181
00:59:19,199 --> 00:59:21,039
I was wearing
little brown kitten heels,

1182
00:59:21,119 --> 00:59:22,360
bleep bitch.

1183
00:59:22,440 --> 00:59:23,719
She got hung up
on this detail

1184
00:59:23,800 --> 00:59:25,840
that Nancy Jo Sales had written

1185
00:59:25,920 --> 00:59:27,039
that when she was in court,

1186
00:59:27,119 --> 00:59:29,159
she wore 6-inch Louboutins,

1187
00:59:29,239 --> 00:59:30,920
when in fact, she had just worn

1188
00:59:31,000 --> 00:59:34,119
little Bebe Chu kitten heels.

1189
00:59:36,559 --> 00:59:38,000
Nancy Jo?

1190
00:59:38,079 --> 00:59:39,960
This is Alexis Neiers calling.

1191
00:59:40,039 --> 00:59:43,039
She calls up Nancy Jo Sales
on speakerphone.

1192
00:59:43,119 --> 00:59:44,519
The whole family is, like,
sitting around her.

1193
00:59:44,599 --> 00:59:46,079
They're crying,
and she's like,

1194
00:59:46,159 --> 00:59:48,199
"Nancy Jo, I'm just calling

1195
00:59:48,280 --> 00:59:50,559
to let you know
how disappointed I am."

1196
00:59:50,639 --> 00:59:51,800
And then--
and the family's like,

1197
00:59:51,880 --> 00:59:54,920
"Yeah, we're disappointed!"
And she's like, "Mom, stop!

1198
00:59:55,000 --> 00:59:58,400
"Every time you start,
I have to start over!

1199
00:59:58,480 --> 01:00:01,039
"Nancy Jo, I'm just calling
to let you know

1200
01:00:01,119 --> 01:00:02,480
how disappointed I am..."

1201
01:00:02,559 --> 01:00:04,039
I am in your story.

1202
01:00:04,119 --> 01:00:05,760
It was just so ridiculous.

1203
01:00:05,840 --> 01:00:07,599
Have a nice life.
Goodbye.

1204
01:00:11,719 --> 01:00:14,320
I got the details
of who broke into my house

1205
01:00:14,400 --> 01:00:17,400
from that "Vanity Fair"
article.

1206
01:00:17,480 --> 01:00:22,320
There was an interview
with Nick in which he admits

1207
01:00:22,400 --> 01:00:24,440
that he broke
into a friend's house

1208
01:00:24,519 --> 01:00:28,800
in the summer of tenth grade,
and that was it for me.

1209
01:00:29,840 --> 01:00:32,760
After reading it,
I felt crazy.

1210
01:00:32,840 --> 01:00:34,960
That, to me, was like, "Okay.

1211
01:00:35,039 --> 01:00:39,480
Like, I gotta take him down somehow,
but I don't know how."

1212
01:00:39,559 --> 01:00:41,000
I hit up all these, like--

1213
01:00:41,079 --> 01:00:43,559
like, newscasters
and journalists that I felt

1214
01:00:43,639 --> 01:00:47,079
would take my story somehow.

1215
01:00:47,159 --> 01:00:50,199
I hit up Ellen DeGeneres,
John Quiñones

1216
01:00:50,280 --> 01:00:54,039
from "What Would You Do,"
but I was not a famous person.

1217
01:00:55,719 --> 01:00:57,440
It definitely bothered me a lot

1218
01:00:57,519 --> 01:00:59,719
when I would see,
like, photos of Nick

1219
01:00:59,800 --> 01:01:01,920
and, like,
the Bling Ring crew on "TMZ."

1220
01:01:02,000 --> 01:01:03,760
I just really can't comment,
I'm sorry.

1221
01:01:03,840 --> 01:01:04,719
Okay, can you at least
tell me

1222
01:01:04,800 --> 01:01:06,119
who your favorite actress is?

1223
01:01:06,199 --> 01:01:08,079
Um, Angelina Jolie.

1224
01:01:08,159 --> 01:01:09,920
- Angelina Jolie.
- She's gorgeous, yeah.

1225
01:01:10,000 --> 01:01:13,280
Okay, but she's not next
on the list, is she?

1226
01:01:13,360 --> 01:01:15,679
Honestly, guys, like,
I didn't really even--

1227
01:01:15,760 --> 01:01:17,719
I barely knew Nick,
and I didn't really know

1228
01:01:17,800 --> 01:01:19,760
anyone else that was involved.

1229
01:01:19,840 --> 01:01:22,199
Alexis, I think--
she, in people's minds,

1230
01:01:22,280 --> 01:01:24,880
is the Bling Ring because
she was on "Pretty Wild."

1231
01:01:24,960 --> 01:01:26,599
I think people knew her
much more than they knew

1232
01:01:26,679 --> 01:01:27,599
even Nick Prugo.

1233
01:01:27,679 --> 01:01:30,039
But she actually had, like,

1234
01:01:30,119 --> 01:01:32,320
fairly little involvement
in the end.

1235
01:01:32,400 --> 01:01:33,920
Ms. Neiers is charged
with a felony,

1236
01:01:34,000 --> 01:01:37,000
commonly known as first-degree
residential burglary,

1237
01:01:37,079 --> 01:01:39,119
of Orlando Bloom's residence.

1238
01:01:39,199 --> 01:01:41,039
Do you understand
the charge against you?

1239
01:01:41,119 --> 01:01:42,559
Yes.

1240
01:01:42,639 --> 01:01:45,280
She's not someone who was
going to every burglary.

1241
01:01:45,360 --> 01:01:48,679
It was thought that she was
one of the least culpable

1242
01:01:48,760 --> 01:01:50,559
of the Bling Ring.

1243
01:01:50,639 --> 01:01:53,239
I--I can't speak for Alexis

1244
01:01:53,320 --> 01:01:55,880
because she knows
what she's done.

1245
01:01:55,960 --> 01:01:57,159
Lead pursuant
to People versus--

1246
01:01:57,239 --> 01:01:59,039
She pled out early,

1247
01:01:59,119 --> 01:02:01,360
and she was done
with her case.

1248
01:02:01,440 --> 01:02:02,440
How does she plead?

1249
01:02:02,519 --> 01:02:03,920
No contest.

1250
01:02:04,000 --> 01:02:05,440
And you understand
your no contest plea

1251
01:02:05,519 --> 01:02:07,480
will be treated the same
as a guilty plea by the judge,

1252
01:02:07,559 --> 01:02:09,559
and he will find you guilty
based upon your plea?

1253
01:02:09,639 --> 01:02:10,840
- Yes.
- Yes.

1254
01:02:10,920 --> 01:02:14,679
Alexis got probation
and 180 days in county jail.

1255
01:02:14,760 --> 01:02:18,239
Johnny Ajar also was
split off from the case

1256
01:02:18,320 --> 01:02:22,000
because his case involved
his own other priors.

1257
01:02:22,079 --> 01:02:25,840
All the remaining defendants,
their case is still open.

1258
01:02:28,960 --> 01:02:30,360
Please.
Come on.

1259
01:02:30,440 --> 01:02:32,599
Every court date,
people were approaching me,

1260
01:02:32,679 --> 01:02:33,880
wanting to talk.

1261
01:02:33,960 --> 01:02:36,039
My mom, being a lawyer--
she was like,

1262
01:02:36,119 --> 01:02:37,440
"Just don't say anything.

1263
01:02:37,519 --> 01:02:39,760
"You have to understand
that this is something

1264
01:02:39,840 --> 01:02:42,000
that could be very dangerous."

1265
01:02:42,079 --> 01:02:46,519
That is definitely
where it changed for me.

1266
01:02:46,599 --> 01:02:49,159
That rebellious side of me
disappeared.

1267
01:02:49,239 --> 01:02:51,159
I became very submissive,

1268
01:02:51,239 --> 01:02:55,599
and I was just doing
exactly what I was told.

1269
01:02:55,679 --> 01:02:58,320
Keep quiet.

1270
01:02:58,400 --> 01:03:01,519
But that also meant
I couldn't defend myself.

1271
01:03:01,599 --> 01:03:04,360
Nick Prugo is
the kind of shy kid

1272
01:03:04,440 --> 01:03:05,880
who could live on your street.

1273
01:03:05,960 --> 01:03:08,280
That is, until he meets
a young woman

1274
01:03:08,360 --> 01:03:10,320
who changed his life forever:

1275
01:03:10,400 --> 01:03:13,480
his best friend
Rachel Lee, whom he says

1276
01:03:13,559 --> 01:03:16,280
is the mastermind
behind the Bling Ring.

1277
01:03:16,360 --> 01:03:18,400
In the media,
that word, "mastermind,"

1278
01:03:18,480 --> 01:03:19,760
just kept coming up.

1279
01:03:19,840 --> 01:03:21,360
Like, mastermind,
Rachel Lee, mastermind,

1280
01:03:21,440 --> 01:03:23,199
and people were calling me
the ringleader.

1281
01:03:23,280 --> 01:03:26,320
The defendants that
actually decided to talk

1282
01:03:26,400 --> 01:03:28,159
started to create
that narrative.

1283
01:03:28,239 --> 01:03:29,559
When it actually
came time to do it,

1284
01:03:29,639 --> 01:03:33,039
I'd always have to have Rachel
lead or, you know, help me.

1285
01:03:33,119 --> 01:03:34,320
And how would
she convince you?

1286
01:03:34,400 --> 01:03:36,159
She would just go,
and I'd follow.

1287
01:03:36,239 --> 01:03:39,039
How often would you guys
plan a new mark?

1288
01:03:39,119 --> 01:03:40,400
Whenever
we'd run out of money,

1289
01:03:40,480 --> 01:03:42,599
or if Rachel wanted
a new outfit.

1290
01:03:42,679 --> 01:03:44,719
I was really genuinely scared,
and Rachel's just, like,

1291
01:03:44,800 --> 01:03:46,159
going back and forth
in the rooms,

1292
01:03:46,239 --> 01:03:48,599
checking, like,
grabbing clothes for herself.

1293
01:03:48,679 --> 01:03:49,840
- And, you know--
- Wow,

1294
01:03:49,920 --> 01:03:51,039
like, Rachel's such a bitch.

1295
01:03:51,119 --> 01:03:52,480
She, like, ruined
this kid's life.

1296
01:03:52,559 --> 01:03:54,840
And--as if I was, like,

1297
01:03:54,920 --> 01:03:57,199
forcing these people
to do these things.

1298
01:03:57,280 --> 01:03:59,920
And I'm like, what?

1299
01:04:00,000 --> 01:04:01,840
Like, what the hell?

1300
01:04:01,920 --> 01:04:03,719
Like, when did this
get so twisted?

1301
01:04:03,800 --> 01:04:05,519
Like, when did this get so--

1302
01:04:05,599 --> 01:04:07,800
how did this get so, like,
out of hand?

1303
01:04:07,880 --> 01:04:09,280
You know?

1304
01:04:09,360 --> 01:04:10,840
The more and more I saw him,

1305
01:04:10,920 --> 01:04:13,159
the more I felt like
I really didn't know him.

1306
01:04:14,360 --> 01:04:16,920
In court, my attorney told me,

1307
01:04:17,000 --> 01:04:19,159
just look down
and act like he's not there.

1308
01:04:26,519 --> 01:04:28,360
In the office,
we decided to take

1309
01:04:28,440 --> 01:04:30,000
this case to the grand jury...

1310
01:04:30,079 --> 01:04:32,599
Which meant that she had
to put on live witnesses.

1311
01:04:32,679 --> 01:04:36,119
So she did have to deal
with all the handlers

1312
01:04:36,199 --> 01:04:37,880
to bring the celebrities in,

1313
01:04:37,960 --> 01:04:39,559
like, through the back
of the courtroom

1314
01:04:39,639 --> 01:04:40,880
and have them testify.

1315
01:04:40,960 --> 01:04:43,360
"TMZ" covered it
pretty extensively.

1316
01:04:43,440 --> 01:04:45,320
Are you gonna recover
all your jewelry?

1317
01:04:45,400 --> 01:04:46,519
Not everything.

1318
01:04:46,599 --> 01:04:48,000
How much do you think
they should do in jail?

1319
01:04:48,079 --> 01:04:49,440
How much jail time?

1320
01:04:49,519 --> 01:04:51,039
Ten years.

1321
01:04:51,119 --> 01:04:52,360
Have you ever been robbed?

1322
01:04:52,440 --> 01:04:54,119
I haven't,
but the night is young.

1323
01:04:56,639 --> 01:04:58,239
Yeah, I've had
my innocence robbed, too.

1324
01:04:58,320 --> 01:05:00,440
But I--no, I, um--

1325
01:05:00,519 --> 01:05:02,960
it's a really awful thing
to have happen to you.

1326
01:05:03,039 --> 01:05:04,480
So it's--but at the same time--

1327
01:05:04,559 --> 01:05:05,960
The concern was,
they would not be sympathetic,

1328
01:05:06,039 --> 01:05:07,280
given their wealth.

1329
01:05:07,360 --> 01:05:09,360
You know,
these are celebrities who--

1330
01:05:09,440 --> 01:05:10,960
they don't feel comfortable
or safe

1331
01:05:11,039 --> 01:05:12,920
or like they have
any private life

1332
01:05:13,000 --> 01:05:14,360
probably anywhere
but their homes,

1333
01:05:14,440 --> 01:05:16,159
and then to have somebody
in that home

1334
01:05:16,239 --> 01:05:19,239
felt like such an invasion
of their space.

1335
01:05:19,320 --> 01:05:20,679
And having talked
to the victims

1336
01:05:20,760 --> 01:05:24,119
really solidified
that idea in my mind,

1337
01:05:24,199 --> 01:05:27,039
that that is really the crime
that was committed here,

1338
01:05:27,119 --> 01:05:29,519
that taking away
of that safe space for them.

1339
01:05:30,880 --> 01:05:32,880
Rachel Bilson
and Lindsay Lohan, too,

1340
01:05:32,960 --> 01:05:34,639
I think,
moved out of those houses

1341
01:05:34,719 --> 01:05:37,039
and never felt safe
in those houses again.

1342
01:05:37,119 --> 01:05:38,639
You know, it's amazing to me

1343
01:05:38,719 --> 01:05:40,599
that the narrative
still persists of, like,

1344
01:05:40,679 --> 01:05:42,199
"Well, you asked for it.

1345
01:05:42,280 --> 01:05:43,559
"If you decide to be
a celebrity,

1346
01:05:43,639 --> 01:05:45,239
"you know
what you're walking into.

1347
01:05:45,320 --> 01:05:47,599
"If you're rich
and you're famous, then, like,

1348
01:05:47,679 --> 01:05:50,440
you get--and you have
to take everything."

1349
01:05:50,519 --> 01:05:51,559
It's very violating.

1350
01:05:51,639 --> 01:05:53,039
It's not about
the material things

1351
01:05:53,119 --> 01:05:56,159
and the things that they took,
because that comes and goes.

1352
01:05:59,800 --> 01:06:01,519
When the burglary
happened to me,

1353
01:06:01,599 --> 01:06:03,840
I felt really bad
for my parents

1354
01:06:03,920 --> 01:06:08,199
even more than I felt
for myself, especially my mom.

1355
01:06:08,280 --> 01:06:11,360
Like, that was the moment
where a lot changed

1356
01:06:11,440 --> 01:06:13,880
when it comes
to my mom's anxiety,

1357
01:06:13,960 --> 01:06:15,400
and they did blame me.

1358
01:06:15,480 --> 01:06:16,519
Not till next year.

1359
01:06:16,599 --> 01:06:17,639
- Not till--hey.
- Wait.

1360
01:06:17,719 --> 01:06:18,639
You didn't tell me.

1361
01:06:18,719 --> 01:06:20,400
They brought up
that if it wasn't

1362
01:06:20,480 --> 01:06:22,280
for me being on Myspace

1363
01:06:22,360 --> 01:06:24,679
or putting my whole life
out there on YouTube,

1364
01:06:24,760 --> 01:06:26,320
that this wouldn't happen.

1365
01:06:26,400 --> 01:06:28,920
I did start
to internalize that guilt,

1366
01:06:29,000 --> 01:06:33,480
and then I projected it out
into anything that I could

1367
01:06:33,559 --> 01:06:37,760
by being the angry,
non-trusting person.

1368
01:06:48,559 --> 01:06:50,719
Ultimately the grand jury
indicted all the targets

1369
01:06:50,800 --> 01:06:51,960
of all the charges.

1370
01:06:52,039 --> 01:06:53,239
How does Mr. Prugo plead?

1371
01:06:53,320 --> 01:06:55,119
He'll plead not guilty.

1372
01:06:55,199 --> 01:06:56,599
Diana Tamayo?

1373
01:06:56,679 --> 01:06:57,880
Not guilty, Your Honor.

1374
01:06:57,960 --> 01:06:58,880
Roy Lopez?

1375
01:06:58,960 --> 01:07:00,079
Not guilty, Your Honor.

1376
01:07:00,159 --> 01:07:01,440
Deny any and all
special allegations.

1377
01:07:01,519 --> 01:07:03,519
Thank you.
And Courtney Ames?

1378
01:07:03,599 --> 01:07:05,119
Not guilty.

1379
01:07:05,199 --> 01:07:06,840
Not guilty pleas
will be given--

1380
01:07:08,599 --> 01:07:10,559
Soon after the indictment,
I transferred

1381
01:07:10,639 --> 01:07:12,199
out of central trials eleven.

1382
01:07:12,280 --> 01:07:15,599
I transferred to the gang unit
and left the case.

1383
01:07:19,719 --> 01:07:22,880
I got the case
post grand jury

1384
01:07:22,960 --> 01:07:28,159
with Nick Prugo, Rachel Lee,
Courtney Ames,

1385
01:07:28,239 --> 01:07:31,880
Roy Lopez, and Diana Tamayo.

1386
01:07:31,960 --> 01:07:33,320
It was a great case.

1387
01:07:33,400 --> 01:07:36,039
Sarika--she did great.

1388
01:07:36,119 --> 01:07:38,039
She had a lot
of physical evidence

1389
01:07:38,119 --> 01:07:39,719
of high dollar value.

1390
01:07:39,800 --> 01:07:42,000
We just needed to get
all that sorted

1391
01:07:42,079 --> 01:07:44,920
about what was taken
from where and when.

1392
01:07:45,000 --> 01:07:46,360
That was
a little complicated

1393
01:07:46,440 --> 01:07:47,559
because there was word

1394
01:07:47,639 --> 01:07:49,920
that there was potentially
items we couldn't find

1395
01:07:50,000 --> 01:07:51,599
in Las Vegas because they had
been buried in the desert

1396
01:07:51,679 --> 01:07:54,119
by Rachel Lee's dad.

1397
01:07:54,199 --> 01:07:57,239
I asked my dad,
"If you were trying

1398
01:07:57,320 --> 01:07:58,960
to get rid
of stolen property"--

1399
01:07:59,039 --> 01:08:01,000
I just wanted--I like to know
people's psyches.

1400
01:08:01,079 --> 01:08:02,639
I just like to know.

1401
01:08:04,559 --> 01:08:07,119
And I asked him,
"What would you do

1402
01:08:07,199 --> 01:08:09,039
"if you had a bunch
of stolen stuff?

1403
01:08:09,119 --> 01:08:10,320
What would you do with it?"

1404
01:08:10,400 --> 01:08:13,199
And he said, "I would bury it
in the middle of the desert."

1405
01:08:13,280 --> 01:08:16,000
And then Nick twisted
that into,

1406
01:08:16,079 --> 01:08:18,960
"Oh, Rachel's dad said to bury
everything in the desert."

1407
01:08:20,159 --> 01:08:21,640
You know, the best way
I can describe it

1408
01:08:21,720 --> 01:08:22,680
is like, word on the street,

1409
01:08:22,760 --> 01:08:24,800
because we weren't able
to prove it.

1410
01:08:24,880 --> 01:08:27,239
But some neighbors of her dad
had said they'd seen him

1411
01:08:27,319 --> 01:08:28,760
doing something
out in the desert.

1412
01:08:28,840 --> 01:08:30,920
And so the speculation
was that he had been out there

1413
01:08:31,000 --> 01:08:34,319
burying some items of property
that were never recovered.

1414
01:08:38,840 --> 01:08:42,960
As a parent, I want that
they don't get caught.

1415
01:08:43,039 --> 01:08:47,479
You better get rid
of all the things, evidence.

1416
01:08:48,520 --> 01:08:53,479
And my name was quoted
on the publicity.

1417
01:08:53,560 --> 01:08:58,159
I was not related
to the concealment of the goods

1418
01:08:58,239 --> 01:09:01,800
or whatever, but I was the--

1419
01:09:01,880 --> 01:09:06,960
I became the person who could
be asked about that matter.

1420
01:09:07,039 --> 01:09:11,159
So I just gave up
all the business I was doing,

1421
01:09:11,239 --> 01:09:13,640
and just--I disappeared.

1422
01:09:15,279 --> 01:09:17,840
I stayed in Korea
for three years.

1423
01:09:24,720 --> 01:09:26,199
The first deal--

1424
01:09:26,279 --> 01:09:28,279
they offered me 11 years.

1425
01:09:28,359 --> 01:09:30,439
And I remember being
in the lawyer's office,

1426
01:09:30,520 --> 01:09:32,880
and he told me that,
and my mom--

1427
01:09:32,960 --> 01:09:34,159
she was sitting in the chair,

1428
01:09:34,239 --> 01:09:35,399
literally having
a heart attack.

1429
01:09:35,479 --> 01:09:37,279
She was like, "11 years?
That's impossible.

1430
01:09:37,359 --> 01:09:39,720
Like, she's only 18 years old.
Like, how could this be?"

1431
01:09:39,800 --> 01:09:42,760
And in my mind I'm like,
"But I committed crime."

1432
01:09:42,840 --> 01:09:44,319
Like, you can't just,

1433
01:09:44,399 --> 01:09:46,039
because I grew up in Calabasas

1434
01:09:46,119 --> 01:09:47,800
or because that was
my first crime,

1435
01:09:47,880 --> 01:09:52,520
that I don't deserve
to pay for it.

1436
01:09:55,680 --> 01:09:57,600
Calculating my age,
I was like, "All right.

1437
01:09:57,680 --> 01:09:59,199
"18 plus 11.
All right.

1438
01:09:59,279 --> 01:10:00,359
"That means I'll be, like--

1439
01:10:00,439 --> 01:10:01,960
I'll still be young
when I come out."

1440
01:10:02,039 --> 01:10:05,439
I was like, "All right."
My attorney was like, "Oh, no.

1441
01:10:05,520 --> 01:10:07,239
Like, we're gonna get you
something better than that."

1442
01:10:07,319 --> 01:10:08,119
And I was like,

1443
01:10:08,199 --> 01:10:10,880
"Well, if that's my cards,
those are my cards."

1444
01:10:14,960 --> 01:10:16,840
A week or two later,

1445
01:10:16,920 --> 01:10:18,600
my lawyer called me
back into the office.

1446
01:10:18,680 --> 01:10:22,239
He said,
"They're offering you four years.

1447
01:10:22,319 --> 01:10:24,279
And I said, "Okay."

1448
01:10:28,039 --> 01:10:30,279
This is the moment
I've been running from

1449
01:10:30,359 --> 01:10:32,359
since I was 14.

1450
01:10:32,439 --> 01:10:34,920
This is the moment.
It's actually here.

1451
01:10:36,800 --> 01:10:39,760
When the judge sentenced me,
I felt the thud in my heart,

1452
01:10:39,840 --> 01:10:41,239
like, at the same time
she did that.

1453
01:10:41,319 --> 01:10:43,680
And I was like,
"Oh, the luck has run out."

1454
01:10:43,760 --> 01:10:46,279
Like, that--this is
some real shit right here.

1455
01:10:48,479 --> 01:10:50,560
You know what you did,
and you know

1456
01:10:50,640 --> 01:10:52,479
if what you did was worth
four years or not.

1457
01:10:52,560 --> 01:10:54,840
Rachel, I think,
was maybe the smart one.

1458
01:10:54,920 --> 01:10:56,039
I don't know.
She just--

1459
01:10:56,119 --> 01:10:57,920
"I'm not going
to get involved in this."

1460
01:10:58,000 --> 01:10:59,000
She took her time,

1461
01:10:59,079 --> 01:11:00,880
she took it like a man,
and she left.

1462
01:11:00,960 --> 01:11:02,680
- Or like a woman.
- Or like a woman.

1463
01:11:02,760 --> 01:11:04,159
There we go.

1464
01:11:04,239 --> 01:11:06,199
Rebecca Ahn,
you are found guilty

1465
01:11:06,279 --> 01:11:08,800
on four counts of first-degree
residential burglary.

1466
01:11:08,880 --> 01:11:11,119
You are sentenced
to four years in state prison

1467
01:11:11,199 --> 01:11:12,399
and $800,000.

1468
01:11:12,479 --> 01:11:15,520
There are still a number
of kids in the Bling Ring case

1469
01:11:15,600 --> 01:11:17,520
who have yet to be sentenced.

1470
01:11:17,600 --> 01:11:19,720
Sofia Coppola decides

1471
01:11:19,800 --> 01:11:21,760
this is such
a fascinating story

1472
01:11:21,840 --> 01:11:24,359
that she is gonna turn it
into a feature film.

1473
01:11:27,520 --> 01:11:28,600
They start filming this in LA.

1474
01:11:28,680 --> 01:11:30,680
And since I've been kind of,
like, writing about it,

1475
01:11:30,760 --> 01:11:32,520
I ask if I can do a set visit.

1476
01:11:32,600 --> 01:11:34,079
So they invite me to set,

1477
01:11:34,159 --> 01:11:35,239
they let me talk
to Sofia Coppola

1478
01:11:35,319 --> 01:11:37,039
for a little bit,
and I'm like, "Okay,

1479
01:11:37,119 --> 01:11:39,560
"so I heard that you're paying
Alexis Neiers

1480
01:11:39,640 --> 01:11:41,439
as a consultant on this movie."

1481
01:11:41,520 --> 01:11:44,000
And that was something
I was interested in,

1482
01:11:44,079 --> 01:11:46,079
because obviously,
people might find it

1483
01:11:46,159 --> 01:11:47,640
problematic that
she's literally, like,

1484
01:11:47,720 --> 01:11:50,000
profiting off of her crime.

1485
01:11:50,079 --> 01:11:52,600
So I asked Sofia Coppola,
what was Alexis like,

1486
01:11:52,680 --> 01:11:53,840
and has she been helpful?

1487
01:11:53,920 --> 01:11:55,760
And she was like, "Yeah,
you know, she's been helpful,

1488
01:11:55,840 --> 01:11:58,159
but who's been really helpful
is Brett Goodkin."

1489
01:11:59,399 --> 01:12:00,880
Fascination
with celebrity--

1490
01:12:00,960 --> 01:12:01,960
yeah, there's absolutely that.

1491
01:12:02,039 --> 01:12:04,119
And I was like,
"The LAPD cop?"

1492
01:12:04,199 --> 01:12:07,159
And she was like,
"Yeah. He's a technical advisor.

1493
01:12:07,239 --> 01:12:08,760
"He's, like, a consultant
for us on the movie.

1494
01:12:08,840 --> 01:12:10,359
"And, like, he actually did
a cameo the other day.

1495
01:12:10,439 --> 01:12:11,800
"He came in,
and he, like, slapped

1496
01:12:11,880 --> 01:12:13,680
the cuffs on Emma Watson."

1497
01:12:13,760 --> 01:12:14,920
- Get her back.
- Please stop.

1498
01:12:15,000 --> 01:12:16,000
I need you to stop that.

1499
01:12:16,079 --> 01:12:17,159
I need to speak to my mom.

1500
01:12:17,239 --> 01:12:19,119
What you're doing
with my daughter--

1501
01:12:19,199 --> 01:12:20,800
I called him up,
and he told me,

1502
01:12:20,880 --> 01:12:22,479
you know,
"Listen, I just advised

1503
01:12:22,560 --> 01:12:24,119
"on, like, procedural stuff.

1504
01:12:24,199 --> 01:12:25,840
"Yes, I did do a cameo.

1505
01:12:25,920 --> 01:12:28,039
It's not like
I'm Bruce Willis."

1506
01:12:28,119 --> 01:12:31,359
And he said he got
$5,000 or $6,000.

1507
01:12:31,439 --> 01:12:32,399
He couldn't even remember.

1508
01:12:32,479 --> 01:12:33,840
I called the LAPD.

1509
01:12:33,920 --> 01:12:36,279
I called the DA's office.

1510
01:12:36,359 --> 01:12:38,600
I got a call from
the "LA Times" asking me,

1511
01:12:38,680 --> 01:12:40,439
"How do you feel about
your detective working

1512
01:12:40,520 --> 01:12:43,239
on the Sofia Coppola
'Bling Ring' case?"

1513
01:12:43,319 --> 01:12:45,880
We had no idea.

1514
01:12:45,960 --> 01:12:49,359
We made a speakerphone call
to Detective Goodkin

1515
01:12:49,439 --> 01:12:51,760
to ask if this was the case.

1516
01:12:51,840 --> 01:12:53,720
He initially denied.

1517
01:12:53,800 --> 01:12:56,279
We told him we got a call
from the "LA Times."

1518
01:12:56,359 --> 01:12:59,199
"Oh, yeah.
I am working,

1519
01:12:59,279 --> 01:13:01,079
"but I'm not really
getting paid that much.

1520
01:13:01,159 --> 01:13:02,279
I'm just kind of..."

1521
01:13:02,359 --> 01:13:04,680
You know, the defense attorneys
subpoenaed

1522
01:13:04,760 --> 01:13:05,800
the payroll records

1523
01:13:05,880 --> 01:13:07,880
from Sofia Coppola's
production company.

1524
01:13:07,960 --> 01:13:11,479
Turns out he actually got,
like, $12,500,

1525
01:13:11,560 --> 01:13:14,119
and he had not disclosed that
to the LAPD,

1526
01:13:14,199 --> 01:13:17,920
and he had also not
disclosed it to the DA.

1527
01:13:18,000 --> 01:13:23,319
You cannot go and work
on a film about some crimes

1528
01:13:23,399 --> 01:13:26,520
while that case is still open.

1529
01:13:26,600 --> 01:13:28,880
It's like the vortex of fame.

1530
01:13:28,960 --> 01:13:31,479
Kids with no criminal records
wanting to go

1531
01:13:31,560 --> 01:13:33,720
and break into these, you know,
celebrity homes,

1532
01:13:33,800 --> 01:13:38,039
my detective who wants to be
famous or whatever.

1533
01:13:38,119 --> 01:13:40,199
As the detective,
you're supposed to be

1534
01:13:40,279 --> 01:13:43,520
the person that's gonna be
on the stand a lot during trial.

1535
01:13:43,600 --> 01:13:46,359
Your credibility
is very important.

1536
01:13:46,439 --> 01:13:48,560
And once you've lied
to the DA,

1537
01:13:48,640 --> 01:13:50,960
that credibility is shot.

1538
01:13:51,039 --> 01:13:53,520
So he obviously
was not gonna be able

1539
01:13:53,600 --> 01:13:55,199
to testify at trial.

1540
01:13:56,880 --> 01:13:59,960
When I found out
what had been occurring

1541
01:14:00,039 --> 01:14:01,399
behind the scenes
with Brett Goodkin

1542
01:14:01,479 --> 01:14:04,159
and how that affected the case,
I was disappointed for sure,

1543
01:14:04,239 --> 01:14:07,399
because when I left the case,
it was like,

1544
01:14:07,479 --> 01:14:11,159
everything was going according
to plan the way it should.

1545
01:14:11,239 --> 01:14:14,520
Everyone would have gotten
a state prison offer,

1546
01:14:14,600 --> 01:14:17,880
but for the fact
that Brett Goodkin

1547
01:14:17,960 --> 01:14:19,159
kind of blew this case up.

1548
01:14:19,239 --> 01:14:20,199
Sorry, Brett.

1549
01:14:21,680 --> 01:14:24,079
We had to let all
the defense attorneys know.

1550
01:14:24,159 --> 01:14:25,479
The judge told them,

1551
01:14:25,560 --> 01:14:27,560
"You guys should write
Brett Goodkin

1552
01:14:27,640 --> 01:14:29,880
"a thank you-note,
because pretty much,

1553
01:14:29,960 --> 01:14:33,800
he just reduced
your punishment majorly."

1554
01:14:33,880 --> 01:14:37,359
In the end, Nick got
two years' state prison,

1555
01:14:37,439 --> 01:14:39,359
and everybody else
just got probation.

1556
01:14:42,319 --> 01:14:44,119
They got the better end
of the stick.

1557
01:14:44,199 --> 01:14:46,000
And I was like, "Oh, shit.

1558
01:14:46,079 --> 01:14:47,800
"Like, this is twisted.

1559
01:14:47,880 --> 01:14:49,640
Our system is twisted."

1560
01:14:53,279 --> 01:14:56,119
How can I be the ringleader when
I never even met Roy in person?

1561
01:14:56,199 --> 01:14:57,800
Or how can I be the ringleader
when me and Alexis

1562
01:14:57,880 --> 01:14:59,720
weren't even friends?

1563
01:14:59,800 --> 01:15:01,800
I don't know.
I don't have a lot of sympathy.

1564
01:15:01,880 --> 01:15:04,800
And police say
alleged ringleader Rachel Lee

1565
01:15:04,880 --> 01:15:07,680
is wearing a necklace
stolen from Rachel Bilson.

1566
01:15:07,760 --> 01:15:09,600
Nick Prugo
wasn't the only one to say

1567
01:15:09,680 --> 01:15:11,960
that this was really--
really Rachel-Lee-driven.

1568
01:15:12,039 --> 01:15:13,880
And in one of the videos,
at least,

1569
01:15:13,960 --> 01:15:15,479
it appears that
she's sort of the one

1570
01:15:15,560 --> 01:15:17,880
that Nick's trailing behind.

1571
01:15:17,960 --> 01:15:21,880
This started with Rachel Lee,
and Nick Prugo went along.

1572
01:15:21,960 --> 01:15:24,359
Of course, we weren't there,
so we're not sure.

1573
01:15:24,439 --> 01:15:26,920
Was it Rachel's idea?
Was it Nick's idea?

1574
01:15:27,000 --> 01:15:30,039
Because Rachel stayed
out of the limelight

1575
01:15:30,119 --> 01:15:32,720
and could not refute the idea
that she was the ringleader,

1576
01:15:32,800 --> 01:15:34,119
it just persisted.

1577
01:15:34,199 --> 01:15:36,840
When people think
"Rachel Lee,"

1578
01:15:36,920 --> 01:15:38,520
they think "ringleader."

1579
01:15:38,600 --> 01:15:40,359
- I know.
- And so it's--

1580
01:15:40,439 --> 01:15:41,359
I know.

1581
01:15:41,439 --> 01:15:43,279
It's kind of, like,
never been disproven.

1582
01:15:43,359 --> 01:15:44,800
- Right?
- Yeah.

1583
01:15:44,880 --> 01:15:48,239
I don't buy
that Rachel pressured Nick

1584
01:15:48,319 --> 01:15:49,840
into doing anything.

1585
01:15:49,920 --> 01:15:51,439
I could understand
how that story

1586
01:15:51,520 --> 01:15:53,640
would work out for him.

1587
01:15:53,720 --> 01:15:56,199
But he was
an independent person.

1588
01:15:56,279 --> 01:15:57,720
He'll do something
if he wants to do something.

1589
01:15:57,800 --> 01:15:59,359
If he didn't want to do that,
he would have said,

1590
01:15:59,439 --> 01:16:00,520
"Let's not do this."

1591
01:16:00,600 --> 01:16:04,479
You know, for a lot of people
that were involved

1592
01:16:04,560 --> 01:16:06,159
in the Bling Ring,
it was kind of, like,

1593
01:16:06,239 --> 01:16:08,319
a one-time thing for them.
You know?

1594
01:16:08,399 --> 01:16:10,680
And I think for me and Nick,
it was very repetitive.

1595
01:16:10,760 --> 01:16:13,039
So I feel like if anybody
was the ringleader,

1596
01:16:13,119 --> 01:16:14,880
it was me and him,
because I feel

1597
01:16:14,960 --> 01:16:16,239
like we did it just as much.

1598
01:16:17,479 --> 01:16:21,720
He and I were both
equally as aggressive

1599
01:16:21,800 --> 01:16:24,159
and both equally as passive.

1600
01:16:29,520 --> 01:16:31,119
Right before I went to prison,

1601
01:16:31,199 --> 01:16:33,880
I was living with my mom
in an apartment

1602
01:16:33,960 --> 01:16:35,800
because she had to spend
so much money

1603
01:16:35,880 --> 01:16:37,359
on lawyers and everything,

1604
01:16:37,439 --> 01:16:39,680
so everything
got kind of downsized.

1605
01:16:39,760 --> 01:16:42,159
I was looking
for something in my room,

1606
01:16:42,239 --> 01:16:43,520
and then I pulled out
the Ziploc,

1607
01:16:43,600 --> 01:16:47,039
and it was probably, like,
about an inch full of Xanax.

1608
01:16:47,119 --> 01:16:49,279
And honestly,
still to this day,

1609
01:16:49,359 --> 01:16:51,920
I don't know if this is, like,
a truth or a lie,

1610
01:16:52,000 --> 01:16:56,560
but I took one, and then I put
the rest down the toilet.

1611
01:16:56,640 --> 01:16:57,960
I was like, "That's it.

1612
01:16:58,039 --> 01:17:00,560
You're never gonna
purchase Xanax again."

1613
01:17:06,800 --> 01:17:10,560
When I self-surrendered
into state prison,

1614
01:17:10,640 --> 01:17:13,159
we went to the guard gate

1615
01:17:13,239 --> 01:17:16,359
to where it was just
that typical scene

1616
01:17:16,439 --> 01:17:17,680
of that entrance of a prison,

1617
01:17:17,760 --> 01:17:19,880
with the barbed wire
on the top of the fence.

1618
01:17:19,960 --> 01:17:22,920
And the guard looked at me,
and he said,

1619
01:17:23,000 --> 01:17:24,199
"Welcome to prison."

1620
01:17:29,960 --> 01:17:33,960
At the time, my grandma
was in an elderly home

1621
01:17:34,039 --> 01:17:36,800
because when my dad
was advised to go to Korea

1622
01:17:36,880 --> 01:17:38,319
and he left,

1623
01:17:38,399 --> 01:17:40,760
there was nobody to take her.

1624
01:17:40,840 --> 01:17:43,159
Late at night,
a correctional officer

1625
01:17:43,239 --> 01:17:44,479
brought me into the office
and was like,

1626
01:17:44,560 --> 01:17:46,319
"Hey, you should sit down.
Like, I have something--

1627
01:17:46,399 --> 01:17:48,239
a mail for you,
and I already read it."

1628
01:17:48,319 --> 01:17:52,079
And my grandma passed away

1629
01:17:52,159 --> 01:17:55,680
while my dad was in Korea
and while I was in prison.

1630
01:17:59,199 --> 01:18:02,279
When my dad came back
for the funeral

1631
01:18:02,359 --> 01:18:04,359
and he came and visited me,

1632
01:18:04,439 --> 01:18:07,920
he said, "My mom died alone
because of you."

1633
01:18:08,000 --> 01:18:10,680
And I said, "I know."

1634
01:18:10,760 --> 01:18:13,039
And he just said to me,

1635
01:18:13,119 --> 01:18:16,439
"It might take me a long time
to forgive you."

1636
01:18:16,520 --> 01:18:19,119
And I was like, "Okay."

1637
01:18:20,520 --> 01:18:22,680
But he still came
and visited me,

1638
01:18:22,760 --> 01:18:25,279
and he still treated me
like his daughter.

1639
01:18:33,279 --> 01:18:34,920
When you were in prison,

1640
01:18:35,000 --> 01:18:37,520
I was getting some kind
of a punishment also.

1641
01:18:37,600 --> 01:18:38,680
Yeah.

1642
01:18:38,760 --> 01:18:42,000
I didn't know how to tune--

1643
01:18:42,079 --> 01:18:46,239
how to tune your life

1644
01:18:46,319 --> 01:18:50,720
as a father,
because you were too indulged.

1645
01:18:50,800 --> 01:18:53,199
Like, in Las Vegas,

1646
01:18:53,279 --> 01:18:58,920
why you didn't listen to
when I say no,

1647
01:18:59,000 --> 01:19:02,159
when I screamed about,
like, no.

1648
01:19:02,239 --> 01:19:05,399
I just said, "No!"

1649
01:19:05,479 --> 01:19:06,840
- You know?
- Mm-hmm.

1650
01:19:06,920 --> 01:19:09,960
So you have to get
some kind of message

1651
01:19:10,039 --> 01:19:12,880
from that kind of expression.

1652
01:19:12,960 --> 01:19:14,520
I think I was ignoring,

1653
01:19:14,600 --> 01:19:15,800
like, deliberately,
like, just ignoring.

1654
01:19:15,880 --> 01:19:17,720
Because you--
you didn't have any room,

1655
01:19:17,800 --> 01:19:19,439
because you're
too much self-centered...

1656
01:19:19,520 --> 01:19:21,439
- Yeah. Yeah.
- With your friend.

1657
01:19:21,520 --> 01:19:23,520
Okay.
So let me ask you this.

1658
01:19:23,600 --> 01:19:26,960
From that girl back
in Las Vegas and now,

1659
01:19:27,039 --> 01:19:31,079
do you think I've progressed?

1660
01:19:31,159 --> 01:19:33,279
Uh, I don't know.

1661
01:19:33,359 --> 01:19:36,399
Maybe physically,
you are kind of adjusted,

1662
01:19:36,479 --> 01:19:38,880
and you going fine.

1663
01:19:38,960 --> 01:19:42,439
But love, happiness,
you have to develop

1664
01:19:42,520 --> 01:19:47,880
your own definition now.

1665
01:19:54,199 --> 01:19:56,439
30 days in jail

1666
01:19:56,520 --> 01:19:59,439
on a reckless driving case,

1667
01:19:59,520 --> 01:20:03,199
30 days in jail on the first
DUI case consecutive,

1668
01:20:03,279 --> 01:20:04,880
and 30 days in jail

1669
01:20:04,960 --> 01:20:08,840
on the second DUI case
consecutive.

1670
01:20:08,920 --> 01:20:10,479
That's 90 days in jail.

1671
01:20:10,560 --> 01:20:12,840
The surveillance video
from the jewelry store

1672
01:20:12,920 --> 01:20:16,760
where Lindsay allegedly lifted
a $2,500 necklace.

1673
01:20:16,840 --> 01:20:18,720
Reality TV star
Alexis Neiers,

1674
01:20:18,800 --> 01:20:20,079
jailed for her role

1675
01:20:20,159 --> 01:20:21,840
in the celebrity
Bling Ring robberies,

1676
01:20:21,920 --> 01:20:25,039
claims she could hear Lohan
crying in the next cell.

1677
01:20:26,000 --> 01:20:29,159
Fame is often fleeting.

1678
01:20:29,239 --> 01:20:31,720
Celebrities are just people,
and they're as happy

1679
01:20:31,800 --> 01:20:33,359
and as miserable
as anybody else,

1680
01:20:33,439 --> 01:20:34,520
sometimes more so.

1681
01:20:38,199 --> 01:20:40,479
Growing up, I myself

1682
01:20:40,560 --> 01:20:42,439
desperately wanted
to be famous.

1683
01:20:42,520 --> 01:20:44,279
And part of the reason
I went to school in LA

1684
01:20:44,359 --> 01:20:46,600
is because that was when
"The Hills" was on.

1685
01:20:46,680 --> 01:20:48,199
Living here was like the Mecca.

1686
01:20:48,279 --> 01:20:50,159
I could finally go
to all those places

1687
01:20:50,239 --> 01:20:51,600
that everyone had talked about.

1688
01:20:51,680 --> 01:20:54,319
And then when I got here
and I realized that, like,

1689
01:20:54,399 --> 01:20:55,479
even when you're here,

1690
01:20:55,560 --> 01:20:58,119
it's just still
a constant, like...

1691
01:21:00,399 --> 01:21:01,880
No one's ever satisfied.

1692
01:21:01,960 --> 01:21:05,159
I grew up in LA,
but I'm not a--

1693
01:21:05,239 --> 01:21:07,439
I'm not struck by celebrities.

1694
01:21:07,520 --> 01:21:10,159
Oh, you know, can I--
I mean, look.

1695
01:21:10,239 --> 01:21:12,159
When Snoop Dogg shot
"Gin and Juice" near my house,

1696
01:21:12,239 --> 01:21:14,159
did I go and get his autograph?
I sure did.

1697
01:21:14,239 --> 01:21:15,840
But I otherwise was not
an autograph-getter.

1698
01:21:15,920 --> 01:21:16,880
That wasn't me.

1699
01:21:16,960 --> 01:21:18,359
I don't want to take
a picture with a celebrity.

1700
01:21:18,439 --> 01:21:20,439
There are people
who actually, literally,

1701
01:21:20,520 --> 01:21:23,560
don't care that
there are cameras everywhere.

1702
01:21:23,640 --> 01:21:25,439
Um, I'm not one of them.

1703
01:21:25,520 --> 01:21:27,039
- Do you wanna be famous?
- Sure.

1704
01:21:30,720 --> 01:21:33,680
My family, to this day,
still don't have justice.

1705
01:21:33,760 --> 01:21:36,000
The authorities basically
made us believe

1706
01:21:36,079 --> 01:21:38,039
that no matter
how we pursue this,

1707
01:21:38,119 --> 01:21:39,479
nothing's gonna happen,

1708
01:21:39,560 --> 01:21:43,680
and there was nothing
that we could do about it.

1709
01:21:43,760 --> 01:21:45,000
Corvette, Corvette.

1710
01:21:45,079 --> 01:21:46,800
It is not.

1711
01:21:46,880 --> 01:21:48,079
Corvette, Corvette--

1712
01:21:48,159 --> 01:21:51,600
I've always felt like I should
be capitalizing on this.

1713
01:21:51,680 --> 01:21:54,399
Corvette, Corvette.
Hop in a--

1714
01:21:54,479 --> 01:21:56,399
And it comes in waves
because then at times,

1715
01:21:56,479 --> 01:21:59,199
I feel like, if I want
to have a brand,

1716
01:21:59,279 --> 01:22:01,600
I don't want it to be
the professional victim.

1717
01:22:01,680 --> 01:22:03,199
But at the same time,

1718
01:22:03,279 --> 01:22:06,680
the outcome could become
a blessing

1719
01:22:06,760 --> 01:22:09,600
if I navigated it that way.

1720
01:22:09,680 --> 01:22:12,720
I have no gas and no friends.

1721
01:22:14,000 --> 01:22:16,880
Around March 2020,
I wanted to expand

1722
01:22:16,960 --> 01:22:18,560
my social media
presence again,

1723
01:22:18,640 --> 01:22:20,600
and my videos weren't getting
that many views.

1724
01:22:20,680 --> 01:22:22,279
And then I realized
one day, like,

1725
01:22:22,359 --> 01:22:26,039
I have all these screenshots
of Nick messaging me

1726
01:22:26,119 --> 01:22:27,159
and, like, all this proof

1727
01:22:27,239 --> 01:22:29,239
that I've put
on my Facebook before

1728
01:22:29,319 --> 01:22:32,039
that I could just get together
and post it on YouTube,

1729
01:22:32,119 --> 01:22:34,199
and hopefully,
more people will see it.

1730
01:22:34,279 --> 01:22:35,880
I told the whole story.

1731
01:22:35,960 --> 01:22:37,399
Coming out of
my parent's room.

1732
01:22:37,479 --> 01:22:38,439
I run out of the room.

1733
01:22:38,520 --> 01:22:40,079
Like, "Who died?
What happened?"

1734
01:22:40,159 --> 01:22:41,640
And all I hear is,
"Where's the money?

1735
01:22:41,720 --> 01:22:43,119
Where's all the money?"
And I--

1736
01:22:43,199 --> 01:22:45,800
It caught on and started
getting more views, and then--

1737
01:22:45,880 --> 01:22:47,119
Enter Eden Hilton.

1738
01:22:47,199 --> 01:22:48,920
Eden has an insane storytime
on his channel

1739
01:22:49,000 --> 01:22:50,840
about the Bling Ring,
and you should go watch it.

1740
01:22:50,920 --> 01:22:52,760
This is his story
that he told on his channel.

1741
01:22:52,840 --> 01:22:53,880
Them hanging out--

1742
01:22:53,960 --> 01:22:55,199
More people started
reaching out to me,

1743
01:22:55,279 --> 01:22:58,119
and that reopened this case
for me

1744
01:22:58,199 --> 01:23:00,079
in such a different way
that I've never felt before.

1745
01:23:00,159 --> 01:23:02,239
I'm not gonna stop
until I get justice.

1746
01:23:02,319 --> 01:23:04,680
And if I don't get justice,
I will forever talk about it.

1747
01:23:04,760 --> 01:23:07,600
I don't have any bad blood
with Nick anymore,

1748
01:23:07,680 --> 01:23:09,279
and we've spoken recently.

1749
01:23:09,359 --> 01:23:12,560
And it's not like I want
his life to be ruined.

1750
01:23:13,479 --> 01:23:16,600
I would never let him
into my home,

1751
01:23:16,680 --> 01:23:20,119
but I would maybe have,

1752
01:23:20,199 --> 01:23:22,439
like, sushi with him or something,

1753
01:23:22,520 --> 01:23:24,319
just to talk in person.

1754
01:23:24,399 --> 01:23:27,880
All I really ever wanted,
more than the money back

1755
01:23:27,960 --> 01:23:29,359
or notoriety or anything,

1756
01:23:29,439 --> 01:23:32,439
was for Nick and Rachel
to apologize to me.

1757
01:23:39,199 --> 01:23:40,720
People were hurt,

1758
01:23:40,800 --> 01:23:42,840
not physically,
but emotionally,

1759
01:23:42,920 --> 01:23:44,399
and that's even worse.

1760
01:23:44,479 --> 01:23:45,880
Ugh.

1761
01:23:45,960 --> 01:23:48,439
It's really stressful
thinking about the past,

1762
01:23:48,520 --> 01:23:51,760
'cause it's so far
from where I am today.

1763
01:23:53,640 --> 01:23:57,199
It's quite disturbing,
actually.

1764
01:23:57,279 --> 01:23:58,920
What disturbs you?

1765
01:24:01,319 --> 01:24:05,920
I think I, honestly,
was a sociopath.

1766
01:24:06,000 --> 01:24:10,239
I think I honestly didn't care
about anybody or anything.

1767
01:24:14,239 --> 01:24:17,199
My first proud moment
came in fire camp.

1768
01:24:17,279 --> 01:24:19,479
There are only
86 female prison inmates

1769
01:24:19,560 --> 01:24:21,159
in the entire county
who work

1770
01:24:21,239 --> 01:24:23,279
at Malibu Conservation Camp 13.

1771
01:24:23,359 --> 01:24:24,800
Now it's a joint program

1772
01:24:24,880 --> 01:24:26,439
of the California Department
of Corrections

1773
01:24:26,520 --> 01:24:27,920
and LA County Fire,

1774
01:24:28,000 --> 01:24:30,399
designed to help
rehabilitate inmates.

1775
01:24:32,560 --> 01:24:34,640
We got to work with
LA Fire Department

1776
01:24:34,720 --> 01:24:38,520
and, you know, being a part
of a community.

1777
01:24:38,600 --> 01:24:41,000
Through fire camp,
I found myself,

1778
01:24:41,079 --> 01:24:44,159
and I also was around women
who wanted to be better

1779
01:24:44,239 --> 01:24:45,840
and who wanted to make
changes in their life.

1780
01:24:45,920 --> 01:24:48,800
And everyone at fire camp
was empowering each other,

1781
01:24:48,880 --> 01:24:50,880
so it was like
the perfect last stop.

1782
01:24:54,800 --> 01:24:59,359
The week before I paroled,
like, before I got out,

1783
01:24:59,439 --> 01:25:02,920
a tradition in prison is, like,
you pass on your fortune

1784
01:25:03,000 --> 01:25:06,000
to the ones that, you know,
kind of took care of you

1785
01:25:06,079 --> 01:25:07,880
when you were there.

1786
01:25:07,960 --> 01:25:09,680
I took everything
that was in my locker,

1787
01:25:09,760 --> 01:25:11,960
and then I gave away
all the food to my friends

1788
01:25:12,039 --> 01:25:14,119
and, like, my body stuff,
like, face lotions,

1789
01:25:14,199 --> 01:25:16,600
and I just gave
all my stuff away.

1790
01:25:18,880 --> 01:25:21,680
And then they're like,
"Lee to the office,"

1791
01:25:21,760 --> 01:25:23,560
and that means, like,
you're getting out.

1792
01:25:23,640 --> 01:25:26,680
And so when that happens,
when somebody paroles,

1793
01:25:26,760 --> 01:25:31,439
everybody lines up to the fence
where they can see you leave.

1794
01:25:31,520 --> 01:25:36,119
And so--and I remember all
the girls were, like, cheering.

1795
01:25:36,199 --> 01:25:39,000
And they were
so, like, happy for me.

1796
01:25:39,079 --> 01:25:41,279
And they're like,
"You live your best life, girl!"

1797
01:25:41,359 --> 01:25:43,640
Like, "I better not
see you here ever again,"

1798
01:25:43,720 --> 01:25:45,960
and, "If I see you,
I'm gonna kick your ass!"

1799
01:25:46,039 --> 01:25:46,920
You know?

1800
01:25:47,000 --> 01:25:48,720
Like, "You're dead, girl,
you're dead, Lee,

1801
01:25:48,800 --> 01:25:50,520
if you come back here!"

1802
01:25:50,600 --> 01:25:53,039
And I was like, "Stop, guys."

1803
01:25:53,119 --> 01:25:55,319
Like, I'm--like, stop.
You know?

1804
01:25:55,399 --> 01:25:58,840
And my mom and my stepdad
had, like, balloons

1805
01:25:58,920 --> 01:26:00,880
and, like, welcome home--

1806
01:26:00,960 --> 01:26:02,960
home.

1807
01:26:05,920 --> 01:26:08,000
And then my mom was, like,
"Oh, come see your room.

1808
01:26:08,079 --> 01:26:09,399
Come see your room."

1809
01:26:09,479 --> 01:26:11,319
And I was like,
"Oh, my God, it's so cute."

1810
01:26:11,399 --> 01:26:12,399
Like, it was empty,

1811
01:26:12,479 --> 01:26:14,239
but there was, like,
a mattress on the floor,

1812
01:26:14,319 --> 01:26:17,920
and I had, like,
my box from prison, and...

1813
01:26:20,680 --> 01:26:23,119
I just remembered feeling like

1814
01:26:23,199 --> 01:26:25,239
this is all that I need
in the world.

1815
01:26:25,319 --> 01:26:26,840
I don't need anything else.

1816
01:26:40,720 --> 01:26:42,359
Hi.
Welcome.

1817
01:26:42,439 --> 01:26:43,720
Thank you.

1818
01:26:47,359 --> 01:26:48,319
Oh.

1819
01:26:49,640 --> 01:26:50,920
- I like the color.
- Yeah.

1820
01:26:51,000 --> 01:26:52,000
The color is really pretty.

1821
01:26:52,079 --> 01:26:53,039
That mustard's pretty.

1822
01:26:53,119 --> 01:26:56,159
I've tried to make
new friends.

1823
01:26:56,239 --> 01:26:59,039
But I have
some trauma with friends.

1824
01:27:02,800 --> 01:27:06,000
When I look back to when Nick
and I were actually friends,

1825
01:27:06,079 --> 01:27:08,000
our relationship
was just crumbling

1826
01:27:08,079 --> 01:27:10,800
from the first day that we met.

1827
01:27:10,880 --> 01:27:14,520
To me, he's dangerous.

1828
01:27:14,600 --> 01:27:17,279
This is very extreme,
what I'm going to say.

1829
01:27:20,079 --> 01:27:21,439
But it is my truth.

1830
01:27:21,520 --> 01:27:24,319
And to be honest, I feel like
I was one of his victims.

1831
01:27:24,399 --> 01:27:26,319
I feel like he--

1832
01:27:26,399 --> 01:27:29,920
I was the perfect person
that he could just

1833
01:27:30,000 --> 01:27:35,640
dig his claws into and just...

1834
01:27:39,560 --> 01:27:42,000
You know, there is only
one scene from that movie

1835
01:27:42,079 --> 01:27:44,319
that I feel I'll never
be able to forget.

1836
01:27:44,399 --> 01:27:46,720
I love your shirt.

1837
01:27:46,800 --> 01:27:48,199
Thank you.

1838
01:27:48,279 --> 01:27:53,960
When my character
is walking into school

1839
01:27:54,039 --> 01:27:55,199
it's, like, slow motion,

1840
01:27:55,279 --> 01:27:57,680
and the wind's, like,
blowing in her hair,

1841
01:27:57,760 --> 01:28:01,119
and Nick's character's
narrating over that scene.

1842
01:28:01,199 --> 01:28:02,359
And he says...

1843
01:28:02,439 --> 01:28:04,279
I loved her
almost like a sister.

1844
01:28:04,359 --> 01:28:06,119
That's what made
this situation so hard.

1845
01:28:06,199 --> 01:28:07,640
Like,
"I loved her like a sister,

1846
01:28:07,720 --> 01:28:11,439
"and if I could do it
all over again,

1847
01:28:11,520 --> 01:28:13,039
I wouldn't have hurt her."

1848
01:28:13,119 --> 01:28:16,039
And I just remember,
like, when I was

1849
01:28:16,119 --> 01:28:17,880
watching that moment,

1850
01:28:17,960 --> 01:28:21,439
I knew that it was a message

1851
01:28:21,520 --> 01:28:24,119
for me from him.

1852
01:28:24,199 --> 01:28:27,279
But I'll never allow him
in my life again,

1853
01:28:27,359 --> 01:28:30,119
no matter what.

1854
01:28:44,199 --> 01:28:47,039
Haven't you guys
got enough now?

1855
01:28:47,119 --> 01:28:48,000
Excuse me.

1856
01:28:48,079 --> 01:28:49,560
You know,
maybe back then,

1857
01:28:49,640 --> 01:28:51,399
when everyone was talking
in the media,

1858
01:28:51,479 --> 01:28:53,000
I didn't trust myself,

1859
01:28:53,079 --> 01:28:54,239
because I didn't know--

1860
01:28:54,319 --> 01:28:57,359
I didn't really know,
like, what was, like--

1861
01:28:57,439 --> 01:28:58,880
I didn't have
my story straight.

1862
01:28:58,960 --> 01:29:00,039
And I still don't.

1863
01:29:00,119 --> 01:29:03,840
There's a lot of holes
in my story.

1864
01:29:03,920 --> 01:29:06,079
Do you think sometimes
you lie

1865
01:29:06,159 --> 01:29:08,399
- accidentally or unconsciously?
- Yeah.

1866
01:29:08,479 --> 01:29:10,159
I--I do.
I do.

1867
01:29:10,239 --> 01:29:11,760
I actually catch myself
sometimes,

1868
01:29:11,840 --> 01:29:13,800
and they're very stupid lies.

1869
01:29:16,279 --> 01:29:19,479
All of these members
of this group,

1870
01:29:19,560 --> 01:29:23,520
every single one of our truths
is truth, to thyself.

1871
01:29:23,600 --> 01:29:24,840
Nick!

1872
01:29:26,479 --> 01:29:28,560
Alexis.

1873
01:29:28,640 --> 01:29:30,680
It's a footprint in time.

1874
01:29:30,760 --> 01:29:32,199
It's there forever.

1875
01:29:34,279 --> 01:29:39,199
But now I'm finally getting
to know who I really am.

1876
01:29:41,319 --> 01:29:44,239
At least, I think so.
