WEBVTT - 7: What Happens in Vegas 0:00:06.519 --> 0:00:06.880 Novel. 0:00:10.840 --> 0:00:12.720 Hey listeners, this is Ellie Flynn. 0:00:13.400 --> 0:00:15.880 Before we get started, I just wanted to let you 0:00:15.960 --> 0:00:19.840 know that this episode contains swearing and explicit sexual language 0:00:20.160 --> 0:00:24.279 and references to graphic allegations, which might be upsetting. It's 0:00:24.320 --> 0:00:27.800 also a story of female empowerment and camaraderie thanks to 0:00:27.840 --> 0:00:30.520 the women who have shared their stories with us. We 0:00:30.640 --> 0:00:34.160 contacted the photographer mentioned in this podcast multiple times for comment, 0:00:34.479 --> 0:00:37.080 but we never heard back. He has not been charged 0:00:37.080 --> 0:00:39.560 with any crimes and is presumed innocent under the law. 0:00:40.320 --> 0:00:43.920 We also contacted Playboy USA. They state that they have 0:00:44.040 --> 0:00:46.960 asked their licensees to blacklist the photographer mentioned in this 0:00:47.080 --> 0:00:50.519 series and that they prohibit paid to play the practice 0:00:50.520 --> 0:00:54.000 of charging models to appear in magazines. Our research into 0:00:54.000 --> 0:00:57.120 his association to Playboy and their statement can be heard 0:00:57.120 --> 0:00:57.960 in episode four. 0:01:00.720 --> 0:01:02.680 So you've got a bit of a camelto going on. 0:01:06.640 --> 0:01:09.040 Every investigative journalist needs her friends. 0:01:09.680 --> 0:01:13.559 Oh god, pretty sultry. It's quite a lot for someone's 0:01:13.600 --> 0:01:15.039 first Instagram post, isn't it. 0:01:16.319 --> 0:01:20.360 Sophie's one of mine. You look on comfort, so get comfy. 0:01:20.840 --> 0:01:23.400 I've known her since we were teenagers. She's my best 0:01:23.400 --> 0:01:25.720 mate from school and we also went to UNI together. 0:01:28.319 --> 0:01:30.960 Back when we were eighteen, are weekends involved heading out 0:01:31.000 --> 0:01:34.360 to clubs slathered in fake tan. Now we're in our thirties, 0:01:34.480 --> 0:01:37.759 things are usually a bit more sedate, except for when 0:01:37.760 --> 0:01:40.120 I ask Sophie to help me with my investigations. 0:01:41.240 --> 0:01:45.360 I get a private message like, please help me. I mean, 0:01:45.400 --> 0:01:47.120 I get raped into things like this all the time. 0:01:47.240 --> 0:01:50.240 Then I say not can I. I guess I'm just 0:01:50.280 --> 0:01:52.200 a good friend, but. 0:01:52.200 --> 0:01:55.240 This is a big ask. Sophie is going to be 0:01:55.240 --> 0:01:57.480 the star of a fake Instagram. 0:01:57.000 --> 0:01:59.680 Profile, boobs out all the time. 0:02:00.520 --> 0:02:03.280 She's posing as a glamor girl, a young muzzel just 0:02:03.320 --> 0:02:05.800 starting out in the industry. We're going to use that 0:02:05.920 --> 0:02:08.520 profile to arrange a meeting with Luis Gomez. 0:02:10.000 --> 0:02:12.919 I feel like, if you guys are gonna catch a 0:02:13.000 --> 0:02:15.440 babby and all that, then it's support him. 0:02:16.000 --> 0:02:19.360 I've packed Sophia disguise, including a long brunette wig. 0:02:20.280 --> 0:02:24.800 I mean, it's definitely not human hair, probably like a 0:02:24.960 --> 0:02:26.040 very dark eyebrow. 0:02:26.360 --> 0:02:28.960 I've also got a few lingerie sets that Emily, one 0:02:28.960 --> 0:02:31.480 of the models who first called out Luis, helped us 0:02:31.520 --> 0:02:32.480 pick out from Primark. 0:02:32.560 --> 0:02:38.080 Everything's pretty lacey, slash shit, I guess that kind of 0:02:38.080 --> 0:02:40.959 shows off a bit about I kind of like it. 0:02:42.360 --> 0:02:43.160 It's quite big. 0:02:43.800 --> 0:02:47.160 See who has size? And then a bottom half that 0:02:47.280 --> 0:02:49.400 side of a din that like the size of prison. 0:02:50.280 --> 0:02:53.079 After settling on a sheer kimono with a song underneath, 0:02:53.280 --> 0:02:59.480 Sophie's ready for lights, camera action. Sexy like fifty year 0:02:59.480 --> 0:03:02.760 old on the beach, like sexy boudoir, someone who's looking 0:03:02.760 --> 0:03:03.400 for a mill. 0:03:04.200 --> 0:03:05.680 I thought this would be a walk in the park. 0:03:10.440 --> 0:03:12.960 It turns out glamor modeling is harder than either of 0:03:13.040 --> 0:03:15.600 us imagined. Okay, and then just put that arm onto 0:03:15.600 --> 0:03:18.720 your head. Yeah, you're like, you're just relaxing. I think 0:03:18.720 --> 0:03:21.320 you need to be a bit more like what am 0:03:21.560 --> 0:03:24.280 on your knees? Yeah, I think maybe that's where we 0:03:24.280 --> 0:03:27.720 need to go. Sophie eases into the shoot and after 0:03:27.800 --> 0:03:29.200 a few awkward. 0:03:28.800 --> 0:03:30.160 Poses, you. 0:03:31.960 --> 0:03:33.519 Get your farm further back on the chair. 0:03:36.160 --> 0:03:40.200 We get the money shot. That's quite sexy. Okay, that's good. 0:03:46.280 --> 0:03:50.040 Next step we need to conceal Sophie's identity. I edit 0:03:50.120 --> 0:03:52.760 her face and body using an app, getting rid of 0:03:52.840 --> 0:03:57.160 identifiers like tattoos. Let me change the color of her 0:03:57.160 --> 0:04:00.440 eyes to start with. 0:04:01.440 --> 0:04:04.240 Okay, so I've gone for a light blue, which is 0:04:04.280 --> 0:04:07.120 not her eye color. Sophie's gone. 0:04:07.760 --> 0:04:11.800 Now she's Jojo Harry, a blue eyed, black haired face 0:04:11.840 --> 0:04:14.640 tuned fem for Tao whose name was inspired by two 0:04:14.720 --> 0:04:20.240 legendary female spies, Josephine Baker and Masa Harri Cool Har. 0:04:20.800 --> 0:04:23.000 We're going to use Jojo to try and confront Luis 0:04:23.080 --> 0:04:25.960 on behalf of Emily and the other models who've spoken out. 0:04:29.520 --> 0:04:32.040 We post a few images and pay a model promoter 0:04:32.240 --> 0:04:35.359 thirty dollars to get a few thousand followers for Jojo, 0:04:36.160 --> 0:04:40.080 and then after years of investigation, it's time. 0:04:42.240 --> 0:04:42.920 Ah. 0:04:42.960 --> 0:04:45.680 I can't believe that this is all finally happening. Fore 0:04:45.800 --> 0:04:49.200 so so surreal. We slide into Luis's DMS. 0:04:50.520 --> 0:04:57.320 Oh my god, He's replied, I'm Ellie Flynn and from 0:04:57.360 --> 0:04:58.200 this team at Novel. 0:04:58.800 --> 0:05:02.599 This is the final episode of The Bunny Trap, Episode seven, 0:05:03.240 --> 0:05:42.240 What Happens in Vegas. It's morning in London and I've 0:05:42.279 --> 0:05:44.839 just woken up to four messages from Luis Gomes. 0:05:46.760 --> 0:05:48.120 He tells Jojo Harri. 0:05:48.240 --> 0:05:51.320 My fake lamb model alias, that he's going to Vegas 0:05:51.360 --> 0:05:54.640 the next day for two weeks of shoots and that she. 0:05:54.800 --> 0:05:55.560 Can join too. 0:05:57.240 --> 0:06:00.159 Okay, so I am sending Luis a message now to 0:06:00.200 --> 0:06:03.280 try and arrange a meeting. So I've said, hey, I'm 0:06:03.320 --> 0:06:06.600 really interested and can be in Vegas next week. It 0:06:06.680 --> 0:06:09.400 feels so much as hinging on his reply to this message, 0:06:10.160 --> 0:06:11.880 part of me is worried that he might get spooped. 0:06:13.080 --> 0:06:20.159 Cent Ah. Just a few hours later, I like your image. 0:06:20.800 --> 0:06:22.320 Let me know if you are interested. 0:06:22.839 --> 0:06:26.520 He has said, Okay, let's do it. He tells me 0:06:26.560 --> 0:06:27.240 his rates for a. 0:06:27.200 --> 0:06:31.719 Shoots two thousand, eight hundred and eighty. This includes the 0:06:31.960 --> 0:06:37.279 production of photoshoot with forty edited photos three thousand, nine 0:06:37.360 --> 0:06:42.159 hundred and eighty. This one includes also a behind the 0:06:42.360 --> 0:06:46.360 sceneslip and for produced clips. 0:06:47.120 --> 0:06:49.440 I'm not clear on what either of these options includes, 0:06:49.760 --> 0:06:52.920 but either way, these prices seem really high. I tell 0:06:52.960 --> 0:06:57.040 him it's too much money. Sure enough, Louise has a solution. 0:06:58.160 --> 0:07:03.839 Depending if we also do full only fans content, I 0:07:03.880 --> 0:07:06.680 can do a discount, so you pay me only one 0:07:07.200 --> 0:07:08.359 two hundred and fifteen. 0:07:08.720 --> 0:07:11.000 I tell Louise I don't do only fans and that 0:07:11.040 --> 0:07:13.920 I can't afford those rates. He drops his price again, 0:07:14.200 --> 0:07:18.360 this time to six hundred and fifty dollars, and then weirdly, 0:07:18.760 --> 0:07:21.040 he offers me a discounted hotel room. 0:07:21.400 --> 0:07:25.280 I have two apartments. I get you one only one 0:07:25.360 --> 0:07:27.800 hundred dollars one for yourself. 0:07:29.320 --> 0:07:30.200 This is bizarre. 0:07:30.760 --> 0:07:33.040 Why does he have two hotel rooms and why is 0:07:33.080 --> 0:07:35.800 he offering one to Jojo. We don't want to pay 0:07:35.880 --> 0:07:38.760 Luise any money for a shoot, and I'm obviously not 0:07:38.800 --> 0:07:41.400 staying in his hotel room, so I ignore the offer. 0:07:42.120 --> 0:07:44.840 But at least I now know where he's staying, the 0:07:44.920 --> 0:07:48.720 Grand View Hotel, Las Vegas, so that's where my producer 0:07:48.720 --> 0:07:49.880 Eleanor and I are headed. 0:07:50.280 --> 0:07:55.640 Oh my god, that's amazing. That is amazing. I can't believe. 0:07:56.000 --> 0:07:56.880 Fuck back. 0:07:56.920 --> 0:08:00.480 Okay, we've got to find out when he can meet, 0:08:01.320 --> 0:08:02.680 but it's on. 0:08:02.880 --> 0:08:11.200 We did it, well done. Were done to Vegas. 0:08:16.520 --> 0:08:20.200 Good morning, It's six thirty am in Las Vegas, Nevada. 0:08:20.280 --> 0:08:27.760 How are you feeling, Yeah, it's all right. 0:08:31.000 --> 0:08:33.560 By the time we can get out to Vegas, Luisa's 0:08:33.600 --> 0:08:37.120 trip is nearly over, So even though we only arrived yesterday, 0:08:37.600 --> 0:08:39.960 we have less than twelve hours before we have to 0:08:40.000 --> 0:08:42.560 be back at the airport for our flight home, and 0:08:42.600 --> 0:08:44.920 in that time we need to find Luise and confront 0:08:45.000 --> 0:08:48.280 him about everything we know. We wrote to Luis about 0:08:48.280 --> 0:08:50.600 a month ago, asking if he would do an interview 0:08:50.600 --> 0:08:52.760 with us and outlining the allegations that we're going to 0:08:52.800 --> 0:08:55.199 be making in the podcast, and we said that, you know, 0:08:55.240 --> 0:08:57.480 we wanted to give him a fair opportunity to respond 0:08:57.520 --> 0:09:00.880 to those accusations. We know he's read it from what 0:09:00.920 --> 0:09:02.960 we can tell from an email tracker that we've got 0:09:03.400 --> 0:09:06.719 multiple times. Actually he's never come back to us, so 0:09:06.840 --> 0:09:10.320 this is that last ditch attempt to hold them accountable. 0:09:10.360 --> 0:09:12.720 I guess the fear is that the weight of your 0:09:12.760 --> 0:09:15.800 investigation and all of the people that you've spoken to, 0:09:16.280 --> 0:09:18.160 rests on it, and I just want to get it right. 0:09:21.920 --> 0:09:24.280 The sun is starting to rise, dusky pink over the 0:09:24.280 --> 0:09:27.840 mountains lining the horizon. We've headed south of the city, 0:09:28.400 --> 0:09:30.520 out towards scrublands on the edge of the desert. 0:09:31.080 --> 0:09:33.080 It's unlike anywhere I've ever been before. 0:09:33.920 --> 0:09:37.560 But right now I'm having a typical American experience. I'm 0:09:37.559 --> 0:09:38.079 at a diner. 0:09:40.880 --> 0:09:42.560 Okay, I'm going to just cook that there. 0:09:43.480 --> 0:09:45.640 Elena and I are meeting the security guards will be 0:09:45.640 --> 0:09:48.320 accompanying us on our mission. There are three of them, 0:09:48.800 --> 0:09:51.520 one woman and two men. I can't tell you their 0:09:51.600 --> 0:09:54.560 names to protect their identities. But they're all ex cops. 0:09:55.040 --> 0:09:58.320 Plus this is Vegas, so you know they've seen some shit. 0:09:59.280 --> 0:10:02.360 So I've been and here it was for thirty years, 0:10:02.400 --> 0:10:02.840 so I've worked. 0:10:02.960 --> 0:10:04.199 I've know this town pretty well. 0:10:04.400 --> 0:10:06.400 The ex cops look like a group of middle aged 0:10:06.440 --> 0:10:09.080 mates who've nipped out for an early breakfast. The two 0:10:09.120 --> 0:10:12.240 guys in hoodies and jeans could easily be mistaken for tourists, 0:10:12.600 --> 0:10:14.800 but the female agent it's more glamorous than you'd expect 0:10:14.800 --> 0:10:17.560 for an next cop with bleach blonde hair. The difference 0:10:17.640 --> 0:10:20.960 is these guys are all armed and take their mission 0:10:21.200 --> 0:10:25.440 very seriously. I brief them about Luis over coffee, then 0:10:25.600 --> 0:10:27.560 they get straight to work. 0:10:27.559 --> 0:10:30.160 I will call sexual assault detail here last weeks and. 0:10:30.320 --> 0:10:33.480 Run this by them and consue they have anything in. 0:10:33.440 --> 0:10:36.600 Reference with details like this going to happen. 0:10:37.000 --> 0:10:40.199 So, like I said in the metime, when we arrived 0:10:40.200 --> 0:10:45.840 to scope out Luisa's hotel, we discover our first big problem. Literally, 0:10:46.080 --> 0:10:47.920 I mean, it's just so much bigger than either of 0:10:48.000 --> 0:10:53.440 us anticipated, and I cannot see how three security guards 0:10:53.440 --> 0:10:56.400 are going to mark that whole area. The hotel spreads 0:10:56.400 --> 0:11:00.559 across eight buildings, and some of the buildings have twenty 0:11:00.640 --> 0:11:05.120 one floors. It has more than two thousand rooms. It's 0:11:05.160 --> 0:11:08.240 fucking enormous, and everyone kept saying that it was big, 0:11:08.280 --> 0:11:10.040 and I'd looked at it online, but I thought it 0:11:10.040 --> 0:11:12.040 would all be contained and there would be sort of 0:11:12.080 --> 0:11:14.599 one or a few funnels. 0:11:14.080 --> 0:11:17.520 In and out. But it's not like that at all. 0:11:17.600 --> 0:11:21.360 There is one main entrance and exit where if someone 0:11:21.440 --> 0:11:23.680 was marking that, we would see him driving in or out. 0:11:25.440 --> 0:11:27.079 But there's so much space to. 0:11:27.040 --> 0:11:30.040 Cover and by the time he's in a car, if 0:11:30.040 --> 0:11:32.480 he's driving out, that's no good to us what. 0:11:32.480 --> 0:11:32.960 We're going to do. 0:11:32.960 --> 0:11:33.120 Then. 0:11:33.920 --> 0:11:37.280 I'm an eternal optimist, but looking up at this complex, 0:11:37.840 --> 0:11:42.640 I'm thinking we might be fucked. Being here is feeling really, 0:11:42.720 --> 0:11:45.280 really overwhelming. I'm sort of looking around that we're just 0:11:45.320 --> 0:11:50.440 surrounded by buildings and so many people constantly coming and going. 0:11:52.280 --> 0:11:54.040 Definitely feels like finding him is going to be a 0:11:54.040 --> 0:12:00.960 bit of a needle in a haystack. From Luise telling 0:12:01.000 --> 0:12:03.640 Jojo that he was staying at this resort, the only 0:12:03.720 --> 0:12:06.040 other intelligence we've been able to gather is from his 0:12:06.120 --> 0:12:09.400 Instagram stories. His post suggests that he's been shooting with 0:12:09.480 --> 0:12:13.400 two models all over Vegas. Our biggest clue is a 0:12:13.480 --> 0:12:16.640 video they posted yesterday showing them driving out to the 0:12:16.640 --> 0:12:20.520 canyons in a distinctive white jeep. We do endless laps 0:12:20.520 --> 0:12:23.600 of the hotel car parks, hoping to spot the jeep, 0:12:24.200 --> 0:12:29.480 but no luck. By ten am, three hours later, there's 0:12:29.480 --> 0:12:32.920 still no sign of the car, the models, or Luise. 0:12:34.000 --> 0:12:41.920 The waiting is so intense, but suddenly we get a clue. 0:12:42.360 --> 0:12:44.200 He's just posted an Instagram story. 0:12:44.600 --> 0:12:47.120 I shoot him a message from Drojo's account, telling him 0:12:47.120 --> 0:12:49.800 I'm in Vegas and asking to me to wait and 0:12:49.920 --> 0:12:53.400 hope that he replies to my message. The seconds tick 0:12:53.480 --> 0:12:58.520 by as I wait for him to respond, waiting to 0:12:58.559 --> 0:13:00.280 see if he replies. This message is actual in the 0:13:00.280 --> 0:13:03.200 most tense part, because it's just like, if there's any 0:13:03.280 --> 0:13:06.079 way of pinning him down to a specific location, that's 0:13:06.080 --> 0:13:10.400 going to make our jobs so much easier. So I'm 0:13:10.400 --> 0:13:13.079 just kind of like checking the phone every thirty seconds 0:13:13.120 --> 0:13:14.079 to see if he's replied. 0:13:18.080 --> 0:13:21.080 Oh, he's just like my message.

So what has happened? 0:15:36.360 --> 0:15:39.480 So Luis's replied saying I could do from two o'clock, 0:15:39.840 --> 0:15:41.720 in which case we know he's probably going to be 0:15:41.760 --> 0:15:46.280 here too. Luis has confirmed a time two pm, but 0:15:46.360 --> 0:15:49.320 he still won't tell us where he's shooting until Jojo 0:15:49.440 --> 0:15:50.240 pays a deposit. 0:15:50.840 --> 0:15:54.040 We messaged him as a last stitch attempt to see 0:15:54.480 --> 0:15:57.080 if it would make any difference and if he'd like 0:15:57.160 --> 0:15:59.280 to meet for a drink and he said, Ellie, can 0:15:59.320 --> 0:16:01.080 you read he. 0:16:00.960 --> 0:16:05.680 Said, he said, no, thank you, you take care.

Thanks for contacting me. 0:16:14.600 --> 0:16:19.360 And then we replied with understand, wish you could see, 0:16:19.680 --> 0:16:21.760 but I get it truly lovely picks. 0:16:21.960 --> 0:16:25.440 And some flower emoji, which is a lovely choice. Yeah, 0:16:25.440 --> 0:16:27.640 and he hasn't got back to us yet, so I 0:16:27.680 --> 0:16:29.360 feel like he's not going to meet us. 0:16:29.680 --> 0:16:34.640 Yeah, this conversation is going nowhere. Now we're back to 0:16:34.960 --> 0:16:37.360 plan B, which is sticking out the hotel with our 0:16:37.400 --> 0:16:40.480 security team hoping to catch a glimpse of him and 0:16:40.520 --> 0:16:42.600 then going and was confront him when we do. We're 0:16:42.640 --> 0:16:44.440 going to keep an eye on his social media's. He's 0:16:44.480 --> 0:16:46.880 been posting quite a lot. We know a lot of 0:16:46.880 --> 0:16:48.640 the models that he's been choosing with this week, so 0:16:48.680 --> 0:16:50.480 we're keeping an eye on their profiles as well, just 0:16:50.480 --> 0:16:52.960 to see if we can get any location tags, any 0:16:53.000 --> 0:16:54.640 idea of what he's going to be doing, where he 0:16:54.720 --> 0:16:55.400 might be today. 0:16:55.760 --> 0:17:01.800 And it looks like she's about to bust into tears. Yeah, 0:17:01.840 --> 0:17:03.840 I am nervous. I am nervous. 0:17:04.320 --> 0:17:08.359 And honestly, Eleanor's got good reason to be nervous because 0:17:08.359 --> 0:17:10.560 after the break, the chase is on. 0:17:13.760 --> 0:17:15.000 Oh my god, that looked like him. 0:17:15.320 --> 0:17:19.560 Yeah, fuck okay, shit shit shit, shit shit, he's alone. 0:17:19.680 --> 0:17:41.600 Yeah, he's alone. 0:17:43.000 --> 0:17:46.520 It's really hot now, probably the heat of the day. 0:17:47.119 --> 0:17:47.520 And. 0:17:48.840 --> 0:17:50.560 We're still looking for him. 0:17:50.880 --> 0:17:54.040 I'm sitting in a car with my producer Eleanor. We're 0:17:54.160 --> 0:17:58.359 dripping with sweat. This blistering Nevada heat is really not 0:17:58.440 --> 0:18:02.240 being kind to adrenaline fuel podcasters from London, and we 0:18:02.359 --> 0:18:04.560 know that Luis Gomes is going to be shooting in 0:18:04.640 --> 0:18:09.840 and around Vegas soon, very soon. It feels like the 0:18:09.840 --> 0:18:11.920 pressure is really on now because it feels like we've 0:18:11.960 --> 0:18:15.879 got a very short window. It's now two o'clock nearly, 0:18:16.400 --> 0:18:19.240 so if it gets to like half three four and 0:18:19.280 --> 0:18:21.119 we've not seen him, I think we have to assume 0:18:21.760 --> 0:18:25.840 that we've missed him leaving From an Instagram story, it 0:18:25.960 --> 0:18:29.000 looks like Luis might have been traveling in a white jeep. 0:18:29.720 --> 0:18:31.919 We think our best shot to find him is to 0:18:31.920 --> 0:18:34.280 stake out the car park and hope he drives to 0:18:34.320 --> 0:18:37.840 the shoot. So now all we can do is wait. 0:18:39.520 --> 0:18:42.560 I feel like I'm in an extremely low budget spy movie, 0:18:42.920 --> 0:18:45.800 attempting to look inconspicuous while we try to man as 0:18:45.880 --> 0:18:49.000 many of the hotel exits as we can. Just then, 0:18:49.200 --> 0:18:53.080 a white jeep slides past one of the entrances, and 0:18:53.200 --> 0:18:55.200 just as quickly it slides out of. 0:18:55.160 --> 0:18:55.960 You guys. 0:18:57.359 --> 0:18:57.960 Gets in the car. 0:18:58.080 --> 0:19:02.360 Ellie, that was them. 0:19:02.600 --> 0:19:07.359 There's some tea. We don't put the cart before the horse. 0:19:07.480 --> 0:19:08.440 Okay, okay. 0:19:08.920 --> 0:19:10.840 Our agent gets on the phone to her colleague. 0:19:12.560 --> 0:19:16.200 Wait, jeep four bye, take a look at the mail 0:19:16.240 --> 0:19:19.520 in it. It's a male subject wearing a ball cap. 0:19:20.240 --> 0:19:23.400 And after letting our third and final agent know we're 0:19:23.400 --> 0:19:29.399 on the move, we lose sight of him for a moment. 0:19:29.760 --> 0:19:31.400 But then the jeep comes into vision again. 0:19:31.520 --> 0:19:33.280 Okay, I've got it up front. 0:19:34.000 --> 0:19:34.880 And we're after it. 0:19:35.320 --> 0:19:38.080 This guy, this guy, I think he knows we're following him. 0:19:38.560 --> 0:19:40.920 Poss on its frail. Now you chase the jeep into 0:19:40.920 --> 0:19:42.400 the desert, getting closer. 0:19:43.880 --> 0:19:45.120 Oh my god, that looked like him. 0:19:45.400 --> 0:19:49.120 Yeah, fuck, okay, shit, shit, shit, shit shit. 0:19:49.240 --> 0:19:49.720 He's alone. 0:19:49.760 --> 0:19:50.800 Yeah, he's alone. 0:19:51.400 --> 0:19:54.439 As we gain on him, he's winding and weaving, trying 0:19:54.440 --> 0:19:55.160 to shake us. 0:19:55.560 --> 0:19:56.480 This is Southern tense. 0:19:57.119 --> 0:20:01.399 Yeah, Okay, here's in front of me. I'm just gonna 0:20:01.400 --> 0:20:03.720 pull right up on him. I'm not going to pull 0:20:03.800 --> 0:20:06.000 him over, but I'm gonna pull right up him. 0:20:06.200 --> 0:20:10.159 Suddenly the jeep speed drops. We lurched the side after him. 0:20:11.520 --> 0:20:14.760 Well he's breaking me. Let's see, he's gonna pull over. 0:20:15.000 --> 0:20:15.879 Do you want me tactic? 0:20:16.000 --> 0:20:19.959 I think him just putt's going to see it him? 0:20:20.119 --> 0:20:20.880 You want to see. 0:20:23.280 --> 0:20:28.320 The agent slams on the brakes. No, it's not him, 0:20:28.320 --> 0:20:28.800 it's not him. 0:20:28.880 --> 0:20:33.360 It's not him. Him. How could you tell? 0:20:33.400 --> 0:20:33.719 I could tell. 0:20:33.760 --> 0:20:34.280 I saw his face. 0:20:34.320 --> 0:20:34.760 It's not him. 0:20:35.119 --> 0:20:38.160 She said, it's not him. 0:20:38.200 --> 0:20:39.520 It wasn't Louise in the jeep. 0:20:40.040 --> 0:20:42.920 It was a random man in a baseball cap, looking 0:20:42.960 --> 0:20:44.919 pretty freaked out as a middle aged woman and two 0:20:44.960 --> 0:20:47.840 Brits pulled up beside him with their phones out. I mean, 0:20:48.080 --> 0:20:51.600 he was acting shady. The more he tried to lose us, 0:20:51.840 --> 0:20:55.280 the more certain we became that it was Louise. Turns 0:20:55.280 --> 0:20:58.320 out there was a pretty underwhelming reason why he was 0:20:58.359 --> 0:21:01.480 trying to shake us. Some digging from our agents found 0:21:01.480 --> 0:21:04.679 that he'd been driving with a suspended license plate. No 0:21:04.800 --> 0:21:09.439 wonder he looks so stressed, adrenaline worn off. We're feeling 0:21:09.520 --> 0:21:17.240 pretty gutted. So it is now nearly four o'clock. We 0:21:17.320 --> 0:21:20.480 met the security team at six foot five this morning, 0:21:21.240 --> 0:21:30.000 so it's been like nine hours since we embedded and nothing, 0:21:31.520 --> 0:21:32.320 no sign of him. 0:21:32.760 --> 0:21:33.879 It's so frustrating. 0:21:35.280 --> 0:21:38.560 And then we see that a model Luisa's been shooting 0:21:38.600 --> 0:21:41.760 with has posted on Instagram. Look, she's just uploaded the 0:21:41.760 --> 0:21:43.680 photo with him. 0:21:43.800 --> 0:21:44.439 Is that today? 0:21:44.720 --> 0:21:44.920 Yeah? 0:21:45.200 --> 0:21:47.520 Just an hour ago? 0:21:48.720 --> 0:21:49.000 Really? 0:21:49.080 --> 0:21:52.240 Are do you recognize that place at all? I think 0:21:52.240 --> 0:21:55.679 we should go to the desert. That's like, the desert 0:21:55.760 --> 0:21:56.520 is a ghost town? 0:21:57.320 --> 0:21:59.760 Ah, it's not the desert, is it. 0:22:00.440 --> 0:22:02.800 Notice there's no hills there on flat land? 0:22:03.080 --> 0:22:08.240 Could it be there? This is a ghost town the vehicles, Oh, 0:22:08.240 --> 0:22:10.520 it could be. It's a long shot. 0:22:11.000 --> 0:22:15.160 But time for one final Hell, Mary, we think they're 0:22:15.160 --> 0:22:19.280 shooting in a ghost town, so we're off to find one. 0:22:23.200 --> 0:22:25.679 After driving up a dirt track, we come across what 0:22:25.760 --> 0:22:28.560 looks like the world's oldest saloon at the foot of 0:22:28.560 --> 0:22:32.280 a hill leading up to Good Springs, Nevada, population one 0:22:32.359 --> 0:22:33.359 hundred and twenty three. 0:22:34.119 --> 0:22:38.119 Now I'm feeling properly on edge. This town is so 0:22:38.359 --> 0:22:39.280 fucking creepy. 0:22:41.520 --> 0:22:45.159 I haven't been a single person is literally like the 0:22:45.160 --> 0:22:52.520
