Hi, I'm Catherine Oxenberg.
3
00:00:05,547 --> 00:00:09,009
My family was fractured
by horrific circumstances,
4
00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
Official YIFY movies site:
YTS.MX
5
00:00:09,551 --> 00:00:11,594
and we were able
to come back together again.
6
00:00:12,178 --> 00:00:13,430
This is my story.
7
00:00:16,224 --> 00:00:19,394
From the outside, it all looked so normal,
8
00:00:20,520 --> 00:00:23,606
not like anything you've read about
or seen in the movies.
9
00:00:31,656 --> 00:00:34,117
There was no creepy compound
behind a fence.
10
00:00:35,076 --> 00:00:36,953
That would have been a dead giveaway.
11
00:00:39,080 --> 00:00:42,917
Instead, the houses were embedded
into suburban neighborhoods,
12
00:00:43,752 --> 00:00:45,211
just like yours and mine.
13
00:00:45,295 --> 00:00:46,713
[wind chime chiming]
14
00:00:46,796 --> 00:00:48,840
It was great camouflage.
15
00:00:49,883 --> 00:00:51,760
Anyone could have fallen prey.
16
00:01:06,316 --> 00:01:07,901
[woman 1] Time to meet your sisters.
17
00:01:15,075 --> 00:01:16,493
[woman 2 groaning]
18
00:01:18,953 --> 00:01:21,873
[screaming]
19
00:01:30,757 --> 00:01:31,883
{\an8}[Catherine] I see.
20
00:01:33,885 --> 00:01:35,220
{\an8}Well, that's all right, Steven.
21
00:01:35,762 --> 00:01:38,807
{\an8}You don't have to placate me.
I'm a big girl.
22
00:01:41,518 --> 00:01:42,894
{\an8}Thank you.
23
00:01:46,439 --> 00:01:47,565
{\an8}[sighs]
24
00:02:07,752 --> 00:02:09,129
{\an8}[India sighs]
25
00:02:13,133 --> 00:02:15,343
[India] Last batch of cranberry crumblers.
26
00:02:16,427 --> 00:02:17,470
Nice.
27
00:02:17,554 --> 00:02:19,639
If you want to renew your website, Indie,
28
00:02:20,932 --> 00:02:22,267
it's only 300 bucks.
29
00:02:23,518 --> 00:02:25,061
{\an8}I mean, what's the point, right?
30
00:02:25,687 --> 00:02:27,272
{\an8}I keep baking, but no one's buying.
31
00:02:27,897 --> 00:02:29,858
{\an8}Two orders a week is not cutting it.
32
00:02:31,151 --> 00:02:32,318
What did your agent say?
33
00:02:33,278 --> 00:02:36,906
{\an8}He said no bites on the script,
but not to be discouraged.
34
00:02:36,990 --> 00:02:37,991
I'm sorry, Mom.
35
00:02:38,491 --> 00:02:41,536
{\an8}Thank you. These smell delicious.
36
00:02:41,619 --> 00:02:44,372
Get 'em while they're hot,
before I give them to a homeless shelter.
37
00:02:44,455 --> 00:02:46,207
- If you insist.
- [girls giggling]
38
00:02:46,791 --> 00:02:50,253
Next time you come to California,
we're taking you surfing.
39
00:02:50,336 --> 00:02:52,338
Careful, Rem, your grandmother has never
40
00:02:52,422 --> 00:02:53,965
{\an8}turned down a challenge in her life.
41
00:02:54,048 --> 00:02:56,259
{\an8}I gladly welcome any opportunity
42
00:02:56,342 --> 00:02:58,303
{\an8}to go to the beach with all my girls.
43
00:02:58,386 --> 00:03:00,179
{\an8}- Love you all.
- Bye, Eliza-Bird.
44
00:03:00,263 --> 00:03:01,764
Have a blast, you guys.
45
00:03:01,848 --> 00:03:03,558
- Thanks.
- [India] You're welcome.
46
00:03:04,934 --> 00:03:06,477
{\an8}- [Casper] Do one for me?
- Here, Dad.
47
00:03:06,561 --> 00:03:08,396
[Casper] Thank you. Let's go, girls.
48
00:03:09,856 --> 00:03:13,318
{\an8}Please keep an eye on them
in the water at all times.
49
00:03:13,902 --> 00:03:15,028
Always do, Cat.
50
00:03:22,118 --> 00:03:23,870
- [Remy] Bye, Mom.
- [Francesca] Bye, Mom.
51
00:03:44,349 --> 00:03:45,850
I'm sorry, darling.
52
00:03:45,934 --> 00:03:48,603
Creating a successful business
can be a difficult road.
53
00:03:48,686 --> 00:03:51,522
It's just, I feel like I don't
really know what I'm doing anymore.
54
00:03:52,315 --> 00:03:54,275
Maybe I should just go back to college.
55
00:03:54,817 --> 00:03:56,236
Well, it's always an option.
56
00:03:57,237 --> 00:03:58,613
[sighs]
57
00:03:59,989 --> 00:04:01,324
Can I ask you something?
58
00:04:01,407 --> 00:04:03,117
Anything, always.
59
00:04:04,285 --> 00:04:06,996
Have you ever felt just really lost?
60
00:04:07,872 --> 00:04:09,415
More than I care to admit.
61
00:04:10,959 --> 00:04:12,335
How'd you snap out of it?
62
00:04:13,127 --> 00:04:16,422
Oh, listen, angel.
You're still very young.
63
00:04:17,090 --> 00:04:19,509
You don't have to have
your whole life figured out yet.
64
00:04:19,592 --> 00:04:21,511
It's trial and error, all of it.
65
00:04:22,804 --> 00:04:24,347
And what you're experiencing
66
00:04:24,430 --> 00:04:26,766
is the greatest of all human challenges.
67
00:04:27,308 --> 00:04:28,142
Which is?
68
00:04:28,226 --> 00:04:31,896
The desire to find your purpose,
your happiness.
69
00:04:36,567 --> 00:04:38,152
Can't wait till that day comes.
70
00:04:41,531 --> 00:04:43,491
- [both chuckle]
- What's so funny?
71
00:04:44,367 --> 00:04:47,662
Well, what I'm desiring right now,
in this very moment,
72
00:04:47,745 --> 00:04:50,957
is a big tub of chocolate caramel swirl.
73
00:04:51,582 --> 00:04:53,626
Anything but a freaking muffin.
74
00:04:53,710 --> 00:04:55,295
Freezer, top shelf.
75
00:04:55,878 --> 00:04:58,089
- I'll grab the spoons.
- Yes.
76
00:05:06,055 --> 00:05:08,850
[Julian] You seemed pretty intense
in there, for a yoga class.
77
00:05:08,933 --> 00:05:10,518
Oh, what can I say, Julian?
78
00:05:10,601 --> 00:05:12,186
Even if it's yoga, I'm still driven.
79
00:05:12,270 --> 00:05:15,440
You do realize it's supposed to
ground and center you?
80
00:05:15,523 --> 00:05:17,483
Yeah, I've had a lot on my mind lately.
81
00:05:19,319 --> 00:05:21,279
- I mean, things with Casper and…
- Hmm.
82
00:05:21,821 --> 00:05:23,573
And my career's in a bit of a flux.
83
00:05:24,198 --> 00:05:25,366
I hear you, sweetie.
84
00:05:29,162 --> 00:05:31,039
That's why you're coming with me.
85
00:05:31,122 --> 00:05:32,623
Coming with you where?
86
00:05:32,707 --> 00:05:33,916
David refuses to go with me
87
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:36,794
to this introductory
ESP seminar next weekend,
88
00:05:36,878 --> 00:05:38,671
and I could use a wingman.
89
00:05:38,755 --> 00:05:41,924
- [man] Good morning.
- ESP? Hello. Uh, what's ESP?
90
00:05:42,008 --> 00:05:44,177
The NXIVM group's
Executive Success Program.
91
00:05:44,260 --> 00:05:46,763
Half my theater class has dabbled
and swears by it.
92
00:05:46,846 --> 00:05:49,307
NXIVM? Never heard of it.
93
00:05:51,142 --> 00:05:52,143
You?
94
00:05:52,226 --> 00:05:54,479
Queen of "I'll try any self-help
program known to man"?
95
00:05:54,562 --> 00:05:56,189
Oh, you know me so well, Julian.
96
00:05:56,272 --> 00:05:59,067
Yes, I do. And it's a date.
97
00:06:04,405 --> 00:06:07,033
[laughs] Yeah,
so what are you doing later?
98
00:06:07,658 --> 00:06:09,243
Going for a swim. Wanna come?
99
00:06:09,327 --> 00:06:11,746
- Hmm, maybe this weekend.
- [knocking at door]
100
00:06:12,580 --> 00:06:13,915
Question, darling.
101
00:06:13,998 --> 00:06:17,043
- Are you busy next Saturday?
- What do you have in mind?
102
00:06:17,126 --> 00:06:19,045
Well, Julian is taking me to this
103
00:06:19,128 --> 00:06:21,714
how-to-be-better-at-business seminar
called ESP,
104
00:06:21,798 --> 00:06:23,883
and I thought
you might find it interesting.
105
00:06:23,966 --> 00:06:25,426
Here you go again.
106
00:06:25,510 --> 00:06:28,304
I figured we both could use
a little boost right about now.
107
00:06:29,055 --> 00:06:31,724
- Tell her it can't hurt.
- It can't hurt.
108
00:06:31,808 --> 00:06:34,227
- [scoffs] Oh, my God.
- [Lucas] Listen to your mom, Indie.
109
00:06:34,310 --> 00:06:35,561
She's never steered you wrong.
110
00:06:35,645 --> 00:06:37,772
Thank you for that
vote of confidence, Lucas.
111
00:06:38,898 --> 00:06:40,441
- Bye.
- [Lucas] Bye.
112
00:06:41,317 --> 00:06:42,693
I'll take that as a yes, then.
113
00:06:45,988 --> 00:06:47,698
[Mark] This Executive Success Program
114
00:06:47,782 --> 00:06:51,285
was created by our founder
and leader, Keith Raniere.
115
00:06:51,369 --> 00:06:56,207
NXIVM's unique technology
allows you to uncover, re-examine
116
00:06:56,290 --> 00:06:58,417
and integrate those mistaken perceptions.
117
00:06:58,501 --> 00:07:02,797
Offering you the tools
for removing those errors in cognition
118
00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:05,049
and creating consistency.
119
00:07:05,133 --> 00:07:06,217
In other words,
120
00:07:06,300 --> 00:07:08,427
you're gonna learn
all the tricks in the book,
121
00:07:08,511 --> 00:07:10,680
so you'll stop getting in your own way
all the time.
122
00:07:10,763 --> 00:07:13,766
- [people laughing]
- Now I can relate to that.
123
00:07:13,850 --> 00:07:16,310
[Mark] This is much more
than just business.
124
00:07:16,394 --> 00:07:21,357
It's about learning tools
that will create more ethical workplaces.
125
00:07:21,899 --> 00:07:23,443
For a very limited time,
126
00:07:23,526 --> 00:07:25,528
we're offering
our first level of workshops,
127
00:07:25,611 --> 00:07:28,698
five classes in all,
for only $2,400 per person.
128
00:07:28,781 --> 00:07:32,243
And we're here to answer
any and all questions that you might have.
129
00:07:33,119 --> 00:07:33,953
Hi.
130
00:07:34,662 --> 00:07:37,915
Uh, $2,400 for five classes?
131
00:07:37,999 --> 00:07:39,250
[sighs] Wow.
132
00:07:39,333 --> 00:07:41,461
Sorry, gals.
No one told me about this part.
133
00:07:43,546 --> 00:07:46,257
Mom, I want to do this,
134
00:07:47,425 --> 00:07:49,552
for me, and I want you to do it with me.
135
00:07:50,178 --> 00:07:52,513
I'm willing to give it a shot if you are.
136
00:07:58,519 --> 00:08:00,062
- [man] Such a hot day.
- [woman] It is.
137
00:08:03,149 --> 00:08:04,484
Mmm-hmm, I think that's great.
138
00:08:04,567 --> 00:08:06,944
And once Nancy gets done
with the introductions,
139
00:08:07,028 --> 00:08:09,030
then we'll start handing out
the questionnaires.
140
00:08:09,113 --> 00:08:10,948
We're offering it to half the group.
141
00:08:11,032 --> 00:08:13,159
- So we separate into two groups?
- Mmm-hmm.
142
00:08:13,242 --> 00:08:15,745
- Morning, Prefect. [chuckles]
- Good morning, Sarah.
143
00:08:15,828 --> 00:08:17,371
- Good morning, Prefect.
- Good morning.
144
00:08:17,455 --> 00:08:18,331
Prefect?
145
00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:20,541
Oh, that's Nancy Salzman.
146
00:08:20,625 --> 00:08:22,293
She's NXIVM's co-founder.
147
00:08:23,044 --> 00:08:27,256
Um, we do this as a form of respect,
just to pay tribute, you know.
148
00:08:27,340 --> 00:08:29,467
That's how you should
refer to her as well.
149
00:08:30,176 --> 00:08:33,846
I'm Sarah Edmondson.
I'm a longtime NXIVM coach.
150
00:08:34,430 --> 00:08:36,390
Oh, Catherine Oxenberg
and my daughter, India.
151
00:08:36,474 --> 00:08:39,477
- Hi.
- No introduction needed, Catherine.
152
00:08:39,560 --> 00:08:40,520
I am a big fan.
153
00:08:40,603 --> 00:08:43,397
I'm an actress as well, so… [laughs]
154
00:08:43,481 --> 00:08:44,440
Thank you.
155
00:08:44,524 --> 00:08:47,068
Um, what's with all
the different colored scarves?
156
00:08:47,151 --> 00:08:48,861
Is that like a martial arts thing?
157
00:08:49,445 --> 00:08:51,030
It's called a "stripe path."
158
00:08:51,113 --> 00:08:55,868
So, a gold sash is the highest ranking
one can achieve at NXIVM.
159
00:08:55,952 --> 00:08:58,871
Get through this week,
you'll earn your first white.
160
00:08:58,955 --> 00:09:02,166
[Nancy] Welcome, everyone. Gather around.
161
00:09:03,459 --> 00:09:07,088
Our founder and Vanguard,
Keith Raniere, welcomes you, too.
162
00:09:07,171 --> 00:09:09,882
He is an extraordinary man.
163
00:09:09,966 --> 00:09:14,929
He's one of the top three problem-solvers
in the world, with an IQ of 240,
164
00:09:15,012 --> 00:09:16,556
one of the highest recorded.
165
00:09:18,432 --> 00:09:22,061
Your coaches and I will be taking you
through the 12-point mission statement.
166
00:09:22,144 --> 00:09:26,190
But first, make sure you fill out
your questionnaires completely
167
00:09:26,274 --> 00:09:28,276
and most importantly, honestly.
168
00:09:30,695 --> 00:09:33,155
"What is the worst thing
that ever happened to you?"
169
00:09:33,239 --> 00:09:35,658
"What have you done
that you're most ashamed of?"
170
00:09:36,242 --> 00:09:38,536
"What is your greatest fear?"
171
00:09:38,619 --> 00:09:42,039
What on earth do these questions have to
do with being successful in business?
172
00:09:42,123 --> 00:09:45,084
I don't know. They probably want us
to think about our life.
173
00:09:45,835 --> 00:09:47,503
- India. Come with me.
- [India] Yes, Sarah.
174
00:09:50,131 --> 00:09:53,968
She's gonna have a more honest experience
with all this away from her mother.
175
00:09:59,098 --> 00:10:03,603
The first point,
and most paramount to Vanguard,
176
00:10:03,686 --> 00:10:08,232
his embrace of individualism
and selflessness.
177
00:10:09,525 --> 00:10:11,861
"There are no ultimate victims.
178
00:10:11,944 --> 00:10:15,656
Therefore, I will not choose
to be a victim."
179
00:10:17,491 --> 00:10:20,494
[all repeating] "There are
no ultimate victims.
180
00:10:20,578 --> 00:10:24,165
Therefore, I will not choose
to be a victim."
181
00:10:29,837 --> 00:10:33,924
"I promise to share
and enroll people in ESP
182
00:10:34,008 --> 00:10:36,927
and their mission for my own benefit,
183
00:10:37,011 --> 00:10:40,556
and to make the world
a better place to live."
184
00:10:41,057 --> 00:10:45,895
[all repeating] "I promise to share
and enroll people in ESP
185
00:10:45,978 --> 00:10:48,981
and their mission for my own benefit,
186
00:10:49,523 --> 00:10:53,361
and to make the world
a better place to live."
187
00:10:53,444 --> 00:10:56,280
- Uh, if I might, Nancy.
- Prefect.
188
00:10:56,364 --> 00:10:57,698
Just during workshops.
189
00:10:58,407 --> 00:10:59,367
Uh, Perfect, right.
190
00:11:00,034 --> 00:11:02,286
Um, I have a real problem
with that last one.
191
00:11:02,828 --> 00:11:05,706
My daughter and I didn't sign up
to recruit other people.
192
00:11:05,790 --> 00:11:07,458
I mean, that's your job.
193
00:11:09,377 --> 00:11:13,464
The idea that I can't share my experiences
with my family or friends,
194
00:11:13,547 --> 00:11:15,633
that's just simply unrealistic, isn't it?
195
00:11:15,716 --> 00:11:17,093
Well, you already agreed
196
00:11:17,176 --> 00:11:20,721
when you signed the non-disclosure
agreement in your welcome package.
197
00:11:20,805 --> 00:11:22,181
You all did.
198
00:11:23,015 --> 00:11:26,644
Now, if you're all right,
may I continue with the workshop?
199
00:11:27,436 --> 00:11:28,521
[snickers]
200
00:11:29,230 --> 00:11:34,819
Success is a interior state of clear
and honest awareness of who you are,
201
00:11:34,902 --> 00:11:36,404
your value in the world
202
00:11:36,487 --> 00:11:39,824
and your responsibility
for your reactions to all things.
203
00:11:39,907 --> 00:11:42,159
Slandering or libeling someone,
204
00:11:43,077 --> 00:11:45,037
it's okay to make judgments.
205
00:11:45,121 --> 00:11:48,582
You just want to preface your comments
with, "In my opinion."
206
00:11:49,333 --> 00:11:53,629
Mirroring or copying other's body language
207
00:11:53,712 --> 00:11:57,508
is an ingenious way to build rapport
and influence business associates.
208
00:11:58,217 --> 00:11:59,385
[Nancy] Catherine.
209
00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:06,434
[woman whispering]
210
00:12:07,226 --> 00:12:10,646
You were falling asleep
because you have defiance issues.
211
00:12:10,729 --> 00:12:12,773
I don't have defiance issues.
That's not fair.
212
00:12:12,857 --> 00:12:16,527
No, what's unfair is if you do not
allow us to help you work on them.
213
00:12:25,953 --> 00:12:27,329
[Catherine] I don't like it.
214
00:12:28,205 --> 00:12:29,748
I don't like Little Miss All-Obsessed
215
00:12:29,832 --> 00:12:34,086
telling me what I can or cannot do
or say or feel.
216
00:12:34,837 --> 00:12:37,590
Who would have thought
you'd be the class troublemaker?
217
00:12:37,673 --> 00:12:41,093
And who is this Keith Vanguard guy anyway?
The Wizard of Oz?
218
00:12:41,677 --> 00:12:43,387
And why do they keep separating us?
219
00:12:43,471 --> 00:12:46,140
I wanted to do this with you,
alongside you.
220
00:12:47,141 --> 00:12:49,059
I don't mind being in other groups.
221
00:12:49,143 --> 00:12:50,603
It's not a big deal.
222
00:12:50,686 --> 00:12:52,104
I'm getting a lot out of it.
223
00:12:52,188 --> 00:12:54,773
They're bringing up a lot of
challenging questions and ideas
224
00:12:54,857 --> 00:12:56,525
I've never really thought about before.
225
00:12:56,609 --> 00:12:57,860
[Catherine sighs wearily]
226
00:12:58,903 --> 00:13:00,696
We have one class left.
227
00:13:00,779 --> 00:13:02,448
So maybe stop resisting
228
00:13:02,531 --> 00:13:06,160
and show Nancy that you do want
to find your own purpose and happiness.
229
00:13:06,243 --> 00:13:08,078
You really do hear me sometimes.
230
00:13:08,162 --> 00:13:10,289
- Sometimes.
- All right.
231
00:13:10,372 --> 00:13:15,002
I will try my best to let Nancy
hold my bare feet to the fire.
232
00:13:15,085 --> 00:13:16,587
Thank you.
233
00:13:18,547 --> 00:13:21,842
[Nancy] Vanguard calls
these exercises EMs,
234
00:13:21,926 --> 00:13:23,802
exploration of meanings.
235
00:13:23,886 --> 00:13:27,056
They are meant to unhook emotional charges
236
00:13:27,139 --> 00:13:31,810
around painful life memories
and to dismantle phobias.
237
00:13:32,978 --> 00:13:34,980
Who would like to be our first volunteer?
238
00:13:41,820 --> 00:13:43,572
Catherine. Thank you.
239
00:13:48,536 --> 00:13:51,038
- Catherine…
- [scribbles on paper]
240
00:13:51,121 --> 00:13:54,875
Your questionnaire
was quite revealing, Catherine.
241
00:13:54,959 --> 00:13:56,794
Thank you for your honesty.
242
00:13:57,711 --> 00:13:58,921
You're welcome.
243
00:13:59,004 --> 00:14:02,132
You mentioned when you were 16,
that your father
244
00:14:02,216 --> 00:14:04,510
acted quite violently toward you.
245
00:14:04,593 --> 00:14:08,138
He grabbed you by the throat
and shoved you into a wall.
246
00:14:09,974 --> 00:14:11,100
Had you know then that
247
00:14:11,183 --> 00:14:13,477
that would be the worst thing
that he ever did to you,
248
00:14:14,603 --> 00:14:17,606
would that have lessened
your fear in that moment?
249
00:14:19,692 --> 00:14:21,235
Yes, I suppose so.
250
00:14:22,319 --> 00:14:25,990
See, men get terrified when they are
losing control of their children.
251
00:14:26,532 --> 00:14:29,660
Um, they often will react violently,
252
00:14:29,743 --> 00:14:32,079
but that is about his insecurity.
253
00:14:32,162 --> 00:14:34,331
His grabbing you
had nothing to do with you.
254
00:14:34,415 --> 00:14:36,166
It did not mean he didn't love you.
255
00:14:38,085 --> 00:14:40,713
It certainly did not mean
that you were unlovable.
256
00:14:44,091 --> 00:14:47,553
You, um, you have allowed
257
00:14:47,636 --> 00:14:51,724
- others to have power over you.
- [sniffles]
258
00:14:53,350 --> 00:14:54,977
You also mentioned
259
00:14:55,644 --> 00:14:59,148
an uncle touching you inappropriately
when you were…
260
00:14:59,231 --> 00:15:00,232
You were young.
261
00:15:04,778 --> 00:15:06,113
Yes, I was five.
262
00:15:12,328 --> 00:15:14,079
This pattern…
263
00:15:14,163 --> 00:15:19,126
This pattern of unfaithful men,
directors in your auditions,
264
00:15:19,209 --> 00:15:21,378
making you feel paralyzed.
265
00:15:22,087 --> 00:15:24,673
Why? Why?
266
00:15:27,593 --> 00:15:30,763
- I don't know.
- Yeah, you do, Catherine.
267
00:15:31,597 --> 00:15:32,681
Say it.
268
00:15:34,433 --> 00:15:35,476
[softly] It's okay.
269
00:15:37,645 --> 00:15:38,938
Because, um…
270
00:15:43,692 --> 00:15:47,196
Because each room I'd walk into
271
00:15:47,279 --> 00:15:50,699
could potentially be another room
where I'd be abused. [sobbing]
272
00:15:50,783 --> 00:15:52,242
[Nancy] Yes.
273
00:15:53,118 --> 00:15:57,039
You formed a false belief
about men in power hurting you.
274
00:15:57,122 --> 00:15:59,792
But now that you see it, you're free.
275
00:16:00,918 --> 00:16:02,127
You are free.
276
00:16:04,088 --> 00:16:05,214
[sniffles]
277
00:16:12,680 --> 00:16:13,806
[mouthing] I love you.
278
00:16:15,849 --> 00:16:17,142
Thank you.
279
00:16:18,978 --> 00:16:20,980
[enthralling instrumental music playing]
280
00:16:24,316 --> 00:16:25,818
[imperceptible]
281
00:16:49,925 --> 00:16:51,260
[Casper] What are you doing, Cat?
282
00:16:51,719 --> 00:16:53,971
Two weeks away
for female empowerment classes?
283
00:16:55,514 --> 00:16:57,891
It's called Jness,
and I've already paid for it.
284
00:16:57,975 --> 00:17:02,021
Where are you two gonna stay?
I mean, it's Albany, for crying out loud.
285
00:17:02,104 --> 00:17:05,357
Mark and Bonnie have a townhouse
and they've invited us to stay.
286
00:17:05,441 --> 00:17:08,277
Does Bill know you're taking
his daughter across the country?
287
00:17:08,360 --> 00:17:11,363
I don't have to consult with Bill.
Thank you very much.
288
00:17:11,447 --> 00:17:13,323
Maria will help you with the girls.
289
00:17:14,908 --> 00:17:16,452
And I'll be back before you know it.
290
00:17:16,994 --> 00:17:19,455
- Let me help you with that.
- I've got it.
291
00:17:21,498 --> 00:17:22,624
Cat, please.
292
00:17:22,708 --> 00:17:25,294
This isn't about you, Casper, or us.
293
00:17:25,919 --> 00:17:28,047
I am doing this for me and for India.
294
00:17:28,589 --> 00:17:30,507
I want us to have something
to share together.
295
00:17:38,265 --> 00:17:39,391
[indistinct talking]
296
00:17:41,643 --> 00:17:45,397
{\an8}The NXIVM business model
has allowed for Mark and me
297
00:17:45,481 --> 00:17:47,566
to travel back and forth to L.A.,
298
00:17:48,233 --> 00:17:51,403
and we owe that all to Keith
and the community that he's created here.
299
00:17:51,487 --> 00:17:53,572
Yes, we're looking forward
to finally meeting Keith.
300
00:17:53,655 --> 00:17:56,950
Mmm-hmm. Just so you know, Danny
and Jennifer will be staying in here.
301
00:17:57,034 --> 00:18:00,079
You'll meet them later.
And this is your room.
302
00:18:01,330 --> 00:18:05,042
The, um, first class is this afternoon,
at 3 p.m.,
303
00:18:05,125 --> 00:18:08,253
so please make yourselves at home.
304
00:18:08,337 --> 00:18:09,338
Thank you.
305
00:18:24,853 --> 00:18:26,980
[Allison] We built the Jness program
306
00:18:27,064 --> 00:18:31,026
on the foundation
of pure female empowerment.
307
00:18:31,819 --> 00:18:36,198
I can assure you that it is
the most gratifying thing
308
00:18:36,281 --> 00:18:37,950
that I have ever been a part of.
309
00:18:39,326 --> 00:18:41,120
[softly] That's Allison Mack.
310
00:18:41,203 --> 00:18:42,579
She played Chloe on Smallville.
311
00:18:42,663 --> 00:18:47,918
I come from a world where I was
used to an objective being met.
312
00:18:48,669 --> 00:18:52,214
I was used to strict, hard deadlines,
313
00:18:52,297 --> 00:18:55,634
and a lot of fear and punishment
if I didn't get something right.
314
00:18:56,760 --> 00:19:02,683
But with Jness, the teachings come from
a place of pure self-motivation,
315
00:19:02,766 --> 00:19:04,434
self-direction,
316
00:19:04,518 --> 00:19:07,062
and watching so many other women
317
00:19:07,146 --> 00:19:12,109
evolve and transform
in a way that is so pure.
318
00:19:12,693 --> 00:19:16,905
So I want to welcome you all here today
319
00:19:16,989 --> 00:19:18,407
to begin this journey.
320
00:19:19,825 --> 00:19:24,746
I want everyone to raise
their hands in the air.
321
00:19:25,581 --> 00:19:26,415
Come on, go ahead.
322
00:19:29,334 --> 00:19:32,129
- Okay, higher.
- [all chuckling]
323
00:19:32,212 --> 00:19:33,589
See how high you can get.
324
00:19:33,672 --> 00:19:35,090
- Get higher.
- [all chuckling]
325
00:19:38,927 --> 00:19:41,013
How come none of you stood up?
326
00:19:42,222 --> 00:19:43,265
Hmm?
327
00:19:43,348 --> 00:19:44,224
On your feet?
328
00:19:46,393 --> 00:19:47,769
Or even on your chair?
329
00:19:49,062 --> 00:19:50,230
I don't know.
330
00:19:50,314 --> 00:19:52,524
You could've gone so much higher,
331
00:19:53,150 --> 00:19:54,484
but you didn't.
332
00:19:56,653 --> 00:19:59,198
Because we all have limiting beliefs.
333
00:20:00,115 --> 00:20:03,243
We all believe
that we are only supposed to do
334
00:20:03,327 --> 00:20:06,288
the things that are socially acceptable.
335
00:20:06,371 --> 00:20:09,541
I mean, think about all the things
that are holding you back.
336
00:20:10,459 --> 00:20:13,879
You don't need permission to do anything.
337
00:20:14,880 --> 00:20:17,591
Decide this is my life,
338
00:20:18,842 --> 00:20:20,260
and I'm gonna go for it.
339
00:20:31,855 --> 00:20:37,486
Catherine! When I heard
that you signed up, I was so elated.
340
00:20:37,569 --> 00:20:38,946
Oh, thank you.
341
00:20:39,029 --> 00:20:40,447
And you must be India.
342
00:20:40,530 --> 00:20:42,532
- Hi.
- What a beauty you are.
343
00:20:43,408 --> 00:20:46,662
That was so thought-provoking in there.
344
00:20:46,745 --> 00:20:48,705
I hope all your classes
are that inspiring.
345
00:20:48,789 --> 00:20:50,082
Oh, me too.
346
00:20:50,165 --> 00:20:52,167
I mean, it's really so simple, isn't it?
347
00:20:52,251 --> 00:20:54,294
Be available to your
infinite possibilities,
348
00:20:54,378 --> 00:20:56,255
not your limitations. [chuckles]
349
00:20:58,090 --> 00:20:59,758
Do you mind if I steal her for a while?
350
00:20:59,841 --> 00:21:02,261
Oh, um, go ahead.
351
00:21:02,344 --> 00:21:04,596
- I'll find Bonnie and meet you later.
- Okay.
352
00:21:04,680 --> 00:21:06,515
- Come on.
- See you later, Mom.
353
00:21:06,598 --> 00:21:08,934
- [Allison] Do you like going on walks?
- [India] I do.
354
00:21:10,477 --> 00:21:12,396
How long have you
been doing this, Allison?
355
00:21:13,689 --> 00:21:16,483
I mean, it's a long ways from Hollywood.
356
00:21:16,566 --> 00:21:18,026
It certainly is.
357
00:21:18,110 --> 00:21:21,405
I took my first class
about, um, eight years ago.
358
00:21:22,572 --> 00:21:24,032
I guess I had, on the surface,
359
00:21:24,116 --> 00:21:26,410
something that seemed
like the perfect life.
360
00:21:26,493 --> 00:21:30,914
My first big acting job,
the dog, the nice car.
361
00:21:31,456 --> 00:21:34,376
- The boyfriends, the clothes, the house.
- [chuckles]
362
00:21:35,836 --> 00:21:38,505
I mean, that sounds like
the perfect life to me.
363
00:21:39,047 --> 00:21:41,717
It was everything that I
thought I needed to be okay,
364
00:21:41,800 --> 00:21:43,927
and yet, it was crazy.
365
00:21:44,011 --> 00:21:48,348
I just had sort of accepted
you live your life inauthentically.
366
00:21:48,432 --> 00:21:50,600
But that all changed for you here?
367
00:21:51,351 --> 00:21:52,978
Absolutely.
368
00:21:53,061 --> 00:21:56,565
When I came to NXIVM
and started to do the work,
369
00:21:56,648 --> 00:21:59,943
to really do the work in the classes,
370
00:22:00,027 --> 00:22:04,698
it started to change my life
in ways that I never expected.
371
00:22:05,240 --> 00:22:08,577
It's truly astounding
to be present and enlightened.
372
00:22:11,663 --> 00:22:13,206
You want that too, don't you?
373
00:22:13,290 --> 00:22:14,416
Yeah.
374
00:22:14,499 --> 00:22:15,417
I do.
375
00:22:19,296 --> 00:22:24,343
I am so privileged to have
Keith as my mentor.
376
00:22:24,926 --> 00:22:27,054
He just wants the best for all of us,
377
00:22:27,763 --> 00:22:29,514
especially the women here.
378
00:22:30,182 --> 00:22:31,266
I can promise you
379
00:22:32,100 --> 00:22:35,062
that you will find more answers
and meaning here than…
380
00:22:37,189 --> 00:22:38,940
anywhere else.
381
00:22:43,153 --> 00:22:45,113
All you have to do is trust me.
382
00:22:45,864 --> 00:22:46,782
Trust me.
383
00:22:47,449 --> 00:22:48,366
Trust Keith.
384
00:22:50,660 --> 00:22:52,704
[mysterious music playing]
385
00:22:53,705 --> 00:22:57,084
[players chattering]
386
00:22:59,086 --> 00:23:01,838
Oh, this is Jennifer. Jennifer, Catherine.
387
00:23:01,922 --> 00:23:02,756
- Hi, Catherine.
- Hi.
388
00:23:02,839 --> 00:23:04,591
Jennifer's staying in the room
next to you.
389
00:23:04,674 --> 00:23:05,842
Oh.
390
00:23:06,676 --> 00:23:09,137
- [Catherine] Is that the Vanguard?
- [Bonnie] Yes.
391
00:23:11,681 --> 00:23:13,683
[all cheering]
392
00:23:13,767 --> 00:23:16,478
[applause]
393
00:23:17,938 --> 00:23:19,606
[exclaims and laughs]
394
00:23:20,107 --> 00:23:22,943
[player] All right, I got this.
395
00:23:23,026 --> 00:23:25,445
Here we go, hut!
396
00:23:26,321 --> 00:23:29,908
So is this midnight volleyball game
a form of male bonding?
397
00:23:29,991 --> 00:23:31,785
Oh, you have no idea.
398
00:23:31,868 --> 00:23:32,828
The men live for this.
399
00:23:33,870 --> 00:23:35,080
[Mark] Yeah, that was out.
400
00:23:35,163 --> 00:23:37,124
Oh, come on, that was not out, Mark.
You know it.
401
00:23:37,207 --> 00:23:38,750
Huh, come on now.
402
00:23:38,834 --> 00:23:40,877
Let's do it, over here,
game point, right here.
403
00:23:42,796 --> 00:23:45,465
- Set!
- [Mark] Yeah!
404
00:23:46,842 --> 00:23:49,136
[players grunting]
405
00:23:49,219 --> 00:23:52,055
[all cheering]
406
00:23:54,683 --> 00:24:01,356
[crowd chanting] Vanguard! Vanguard!
Vanguard! Vanguard!
407
00:24:01,439 --> 00:24:06,570
Vanguard! Vanguard! Vanguard! Vanguard!
408
00:24:07,362 --> 00:24:10,115
[women cheering]
409
00:24:15,662 --> 00:24:20,083
[eerie music playing]
410
00:24:25,505 --> 00:24:26,965
[imperceptible]
411
00:24:34,598 --> 00:24:36,683
[Allison] This is India Oxenberg.
412
00:24:37,392 --> 00:24:40,729
Why do I get the feeling I'll never lose
another game now that you're here?
413
00:24:41,771 --> 00:24:43,231
Oxenberg?
414
00:24:44,733 --> 00:24:47,527
That must be your lovely mother.
I'm a fan.
415
00:24:57,245 --> 00:25:00,165
What you'll continue to find
in the Jness modules
416
00:25:00,248 --> 00:25:05,378
is Vanguard's truth about men,
women and male-female relationships.
417
00:25:05,462 --> 00:25:07,672
The fact that men
don't experience intimacy.
418
00:25:07,756 --> 00:25:08,590
They don't?
419
00:25:09,341 --> 00:25:10,467
Why do you say that?
420
00:25:10,550 --> 00:25:15,138
Well, imagine the difference between you
sticking your finger into someone's mouth
421
00:25:15,222 --> 00:25:17,474
and then someone sticking
their finger into yours.
422
00:25:17,557 --> 00:25:21,436
The first one is not intimate.
The second one is.
423
00:25:21,519 --> 00:25:24,022
That's what sex is like for men.
424
00:25:24,689 --> 00:25:25,857
I'm not sure I buy that.
425
00:25:25,941 --> 00:25:28,151
Men are more loyal than women.
426
00:25:28,235 --> 00:25:31,488
When a man cheats,
he goes back to his wife.
427
00:25:31,571 --> 00:25:36,409
When a woman cheats,
she tends to transfer her affections
428
00:25:36,493 --> 00:25:38,370
and then leave her primary relationship.
429
00:25:38,453 --> 00:25:41,748
That's what you call loyalty?
I'm sorry, but I have to stop you there.
430
00:25:42,374 --> 00:25:45,335
And I… I'm not trying
to be defiant, I swear.
431
00:25:45,418 --> 00:25:48,630
But for a program that's supposed
to be about female empowerment,
432
00:25:48,713 --> 00:25:50,257
I mean, this is anything but.
433
00:25:50,340 --> 00:25:52,884
[Keith] You're allowed to
question the philosophy, Catherine.
434
00:25:52,968 --> 00:25:54,678
No, please stay seated.
435
00:25:55,720 --> 00:25:57,639
In some ways, it's important that we do.
436
00:25:58,640 --> 00:26:00,517
We didn't get a chance to officially meet.
437
00:26:02,644 --> 00:26:03,853
Vanguard.
438
00:26:04,521 --> 00:26:07,148
I don't pretend to know all the answers
439
00:26:07,232 --> 00:26:11,069
to the great philosophical question
of what truly separates men and women.
440
00:26:12,195 --> 00:26:16,533
But we do a great favor here for women,
seeking out their flaws and weaknesses,
441
00:26:16,616 --> 00:26:19,327
and bringing it to their attention
so they can learn and grow.
442
00:26:27,794 --> 00:26:29,337
[groans]
443
00:27:00,452 --> 00:27:03,788
[dramatic music playing]
444
00:27:07,459 --> 00:27:11,212
My God, Jennifer. What are you doing
lying on the floor like that?
445
00:27:11,296 --> 00:27:12,505
Mmm.
446
00:27:12,589 --> 00:27:14,424
I'm doing penance.
447
00:27:15,717 --> 00:27:18,595
Penance? Penance for what?
448
00:27:18,678 --> 00:27:20,805
For being defiant to my husband.
449
00:27:21,890 --> 00:27:23,433
He made you sleep on the floor?
450
00:27:23,516 --> 00:27:25,060
Mmm-mmm, he didn't make me.
451
00:27:25,769 --> 00:27:27,062
It's my choice.
452
00:27:27,937 --> 00:27:30,065
It's what I'm doing
for my personal growth.
453
00:27:33,109 --> 00:27:35,987
- Can I at least get you a blanket?
- I'm fine.
454
00:27:36,613 --> 00:27:40,200
Sorry I startled you.
I'll see you in the morning.
455
00:27:43,411 --> 00:27:46,664
[eerie music playing]
456
00:27:54,214 --> 00:27:55,340
Hey.
457
00:27:56,925 --> 00:27:58,176
[Catherine] Hey.
458
00:28:01,012 --> 00:28:02,430
Mom, you okay?
459
00:28:03,431 --> 00:28:05,725
Yeah, we need to get out of here.
460
00:28:05,809 --> 00:28:06,935
What's wrong?
461
00:28:07,018 --> 00:28:10,397
This place is too weird.
I think we should leave in the morning.
462
00:28:10,480 --> 00:28:13,900
Mom, stop. I don't want to go.
I want to stay.
463
00:28:13,983 --> 00:28:14,901
Why?
464
00:28:15,902 --> 00:28:19,614
There… are so many classes I want to take,
465
00:28:19,697 --> 00:28:22,867
and I mean, like,
what's waiting for me back home?
466
00:28:22,951 --> 00:28:26,913
Your sisters, your friends. Lucas.
467
00:28:27,414 --> 00:28:29,958
Well, they can all wait.
468
00:28:31,167 --> 00:28:32,710
I'm here now.
469
00:28:34,003 --> 00:28:38,425
And I wanna figure out
who I really am and what I want.
470
00:28:40,051 --> 00:28:42,554
Darling, I'm worried about
leaving you here all by yourself.
471
00:28:42,637 --> 00:28:44,681
I'm not by myself.
472
00:28:44,764 --> 00:28:48,351
I have all these amazing women around me.
473
00:28:48,435 --> 00:28:50,270
Allison, especially.
474
00:28:51,688 --> 00:28:53,982
But if you want to go,
475
00:28:55,233 --> 00:28:57,610
you can go. But I'm gonna stay.
476
00:28:58,361 --> 00:28:59,612
The last thing I want to do
477
00:28:59,696 --> 00:29:02,198
is hold you back from something
that you believe in.
478
00:29:02,282 --> 00:29:03,825
I'm good here.
479
00:29:03,908 --> 00:29:07,495
I feel like I'm right where
I'm supposed to be.
480
00:29:08,204 --> 00:29:09,706
You're sure?
481
00:29:13,001 --> 00:29:14,210
All right.
482
00:29:20,008 --> 00:29:22,302
- Love you, Mom.
- I love you.
483
00:29:23,094 --> 00:29:24,679
[India grunts]
484
00:29:33,480 --> 00:29:35,273
{\an8}[Allison] I really like
this next question.
485
00:29:35,940 --> 00:29:42,280
{\an8}If happiness were a national currency,
what kind of work would make you rich?
486
00:29:42,363 --> 00:29:48,411
I think that my answer to that would be
bringing together the people that I love.
487
00:29:48,495 --> 00:29:51,748
That's actually kind of
what I do with Jness.
488
00:29:51,831 --> 00:29:54,417
I mean, we use tools and structures
489
00:29:54,501 --> 00:29:59,756
and we create these
incredible relationships with one another
490
00:29:59,839 --> 00:30:04,344
and the bonds that we form are everlasting
491
00:30:04,427 --> 00:30:08,014
and fill my heart with such happiness
that I guess you could say
492
00:30:08,097 --> 00:30:10,809
I'm as rich as Jeff Bezos. [laughs]
493
00:30:10,892 --> 00:30:14,562
Oh, you know what?
Before I go, hang on a second.
494
00:30:14,646 --> 00:30:16,564
Hey, India, come here. Come say hello.
495
00:30:19,275 --> 00:30:23,571
You guys. This is my roomie, India.
Isn't she the cutest?
496
00:30:23,655 --> 00:30:27,784
[chuckles]
All right, until next time. Bye!
497
00:30:29,077 --> 00:30:31,996
So I hope you are ready for lunch,
498
00:30:32,080 --> 00:30:34,582
because I am starting a new diet.
499
00:30:34,666 --> 00:30:37,168
No more than 800 calories a day.
500
00:30:37,252 --> 00:30:40,129
I have been reading up
on the health benefits
501
00:30:40,213 --> 00:30:43,258
of strict calorie reduction.
502
00:30:43,341 --> 00:30:45,510
It increases mental clarity,
503
00:30:45,593 --> 00:30:49,389
boosts energy, sex drive,
and it reduces inflammation.
504
00:30:50,849 --> 00:30:52,517
But you're so skinny already.
505
00:30:53,685 --> 00:30:54,811
I need to be skinnier.
506
00:30:55,353 --> 00:30:59,649
The truth is… men like that.
Keith likes that.
507
00:31:01,401 --> 00:31:05,822
It, uh, hurts him when I'm heavier,
it hurts his energy field.
508
00:31:05,905 --> 00:31:07,323
He told you that?
509
00:31:08,116 --> 00:31:12,287
[scoffs] Keith and I
have a very special bond.
510
00:31:13,204 --> 00:31:16,791
And part of his mentoring
511
00:31:16,875 --> 00:31:19,335
requires me to check in with him
every day.
512
00:31:22,714 --> 00:31:25,383
I could make us a really good
honey mustard dressing.
513
00:31:25,466 --> 00:31:27,093
Mmm. Too fattening, girl.
514
00:31:27,176 --> 00:31:29,387
We are never going to get
to 106 like that.
515
00:31:33,850 --> 00:31:35,602
[panting]
516
00:31:38,271 --> 00:31:41,566
I told Keith how impressed I was with all
your dedication to the coursework.
517
00:31:42,400 --> 00:31:45,904
There hasn't been one workshop
I haven't absolutely loved.
518
00:31:45,987 --> 00:31:48,156
I know. I see it every day.
519
00:31:48,781 --> 00:31:51,993
And with a little bit more dedication,
520
00:31:53,119 --> 00:31:55,496
you could even be a shadow coach
by this fall.
521
00:31:56,456 --> 00:31:59,584
Me? Shadow coach?
Do you really think I'm ready?
522
00:31:59,667 --> 00:32:01,377
Mmm-hmm, I do.
523
00:32:01,461 --> 00:32:03,671
But I really need you to start focusing
524
00:32:03,755 --> 00:32:07,050
on recruiting new members,
constantly, 24/7.
525
00:32:07,550 --> 00:32:09,344
Family, friends on social media.
526
00:32:09,427 --> 00:32:13,640
And if you build your own network,
maybe you could start earning a salary
527
00:32:13,723 --> 00:32:14,891
or a commission.
528
00:32:14,974 --> 00:32:17,435
I absolutely will. I'm in.
529
00:32:21,397 --> 00:32:24,484
So what do you think?
That is Clare Bronfman.
530
00:32:24,567 --> 00:32:27,070
She and her sister
are big financial supporters of Keith.
531
00:32:27,153 --> 00:32:31,658
For many years.
And, she just bought the building.
532
00:32:32,867 --> 00:32:36,829
Isn't this the perfect location
for a cute little cafe of our own?
533

[both chuckle]
534
00:32:40,541 --> 00:32:42,293
- Cafe?
- Mmm-hmm.
535
00:32:43,753 --> 00:32:45,338
Allison, that's always been my dream.
536
00:32:45,421 --> 00:32:48,174
I'll oversee it. You'll be my right hand.
537
00:32:49,133 --> 00:32:51,386
I can't believe you guys
are all doing this for me.
538
00:32:51,469 --> 00:32:54,430
I told you.
Keith is all about giving back.
539
00:32:55,056 --> 00:32:57,600
And as long as
he's reciprocated accordingly,
540
00:32:57,684 --> 00:32:59,060
he'll do anything for you.
541
00:32:59,143 --> 00:33:00,937
Let me go introduce you to Clare. Come on.

Hello, let me take those. Oops.

[Elizabeth] Oh, it's so good to see you.
548

- How was the flight?
- [sighs in exasperation]
549
00:33:21,124 --> 00:33:24,210
Fifteen hours sitting next
to the most interesting man alive.
550
00:33:24,293 --> 00:33:26,587
What was it about him
that you found so interesting?
551
00:33:27,463 --> 00:33:31,384
I didn't say I found him so interesting.
He found himself so interesting.
552
00:33:31,467 --> 00:33:32,468
[chuckles]
553
00:33:34,220 --> 00:33:36,431
- [Elizabeth] Mmm.
- [Catherine] Well, there you have it.
554
00:33:36,514 --> 00:33:38,391
The divorce is official.
555
00:33:38,474 --> 00:33:41,602
- Are you all right?
- Oh, it was over a long time ago.
556
00:33:44,814 --> 00:33:46,816
[footsteps receding]
557
00:33:48,901 --> 00:33:51,904
[Catherine] I'm grateful India will be
coming home for her birthday.
558
00:33:53,740 --> 00:33:56,409
Well, I will say,
whenever she or I speak or text,
559
00:33:56,492 --> 00:33:57,618
she sounds terrific.
560
00:33:57,702 --> 00:33:59,412
I suppose she is.
561
00:33:59,495 --> 00:34:02,081
But I guess I just… I never imagined
that she'd get as caught up
562
00:34:02,165 --> 00:34:03,416
in this group as she has.
563
00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:06,836
I mean, this whole year,
she's barely been back for a visit.
564
00:34:07,628 --> 00:34:09,547
It would just be nice
if she came back to visit
565
00:34:09,630 --> 00:34:11,340
for more than a weekend here and there.
566
00:34:11,424 --> 00:34:12,842
What is it?
567
00:34:13,509 --> 00:34:14,594
I don't know.
568
00:34:16,095 --> 00:34:18,014
The man that founded NXIVM,
569
00:34:18,723 --> 00:34:20,683
and the women that help him run it,
570
00:34:20,767 --> 00:34:23,519
I mean, there is something
oddly misogynistic about them.
571
00:34:23,603 --> 00:34:25,605
Have you shared your concerns with India?
572
00:34:25,688 --> 00:34:30,193
Every time I say something critical
about NXIVM, she gets defensive.
573
00:34:31,611 --> 00:34:33,613
And I want to give her the dignity
574
00:34:33,696 --> 00:34:38,242
to try and figure things out for herself.
Like you did with me.
575
00:34:38,326 --> 00:34:42,538
Your firstborn is having a birthday.
Don't let it cause you anxiety.
576
00:34:43,539 --> 00:34:44,916
It's time to celebrate her.

We blink once and we have a baby daughter.

Blink twice and she's a woman,
with the world at her feet.

It's all the years in between
that mattered the most.

I hope those parts
aren't too hazy for you, Bill.

I've decided to enroll

00:41:29,987 --> 00:41:33,908
I mean, never use excuses
like having your period
686
00:41:33,991 --> 00:41:35,868
to not show up for things.
687
00:41:37,119 --> 00:41:39,538
And always, always remember
688
00:41:39,622 --> 00:41:44,460
what Allison told you about
lifting your hand up high, higher, high!
689
00:41:44,543 --> 00:41:45,628
[laughs]
690
00:41:45,711 --> 00:41:46,587
I taught her that.
691
00:41:47,963 --> 00:41:50,007
[breathes deeply]
692
00:41:50,090 --> 00:41:54,386
Your commitment to NXIVM
fills my heart with such ebullience.
693
00:41:56,680 --> 00:41:59,683
Your higher purpose
will reveal itself soon, I can feel it.
694
00:42:00,351 --> 00:42:01,769
And when it does,
695
00:42:02,895 --> 00:42:06,190
I want to remember this moment
between us, right here.
696
00:42:07,608 --> 00:42:10,277
[dramatic music playing]
697
00:42:10,361 --> 00:42:11,362
[lips smacking]
698
00:42:15,074 --> 00:42:18,118
That won't ever happen again, India.
I promise.
699
00:42:19,954 --> 00:42:22,540
- [chuckles nervously]
- Unless… unless you want it to.
700
00:42:22,623 --> 00:42:23,916
[chuckles]
701
00:42:35,302 --> 00:42:36,720
[Keith] Look into it with Allison.
702
00:42:45,104 --> 00:42:47,940
- What was that all about?
- Nothing, really.
703
00:42:48,023 --> 00:42:51,485
Keith was just mentioning
that he's starting a new project
704
00:42:51,569 --> 00:42:54,738
- and he might want me to be a part of it.
- What's it about?
705
00:42:56,782 --> 00:42:58,117
It's a secret. [chuckles]
706
00:43:04,415 --> 00:43:06,834
Children need to become adults.
707
00:43:06,917 --> 00:43:11,422
That is, in our bodies,
we mature, we can breathe,
708
00:43:11,505 --> 00:43:13,382
we can go out, we can…
709
00:43:13,465 --> 00:43:16,260
Do you think India's ever moving back?
710
00:43:16,343 --> 00:43:18,679
I miss when she was just normal.
711
00:43:18,762 --> 00:43:21,724
- [Keith speaking indistinctly]
- Yeah. Me, too.
712
00:43:21,807 --> 00:43:23,851
[Catherine] I'm helping friends
with the documentary
713
00:43:23,934 --> 00:43:26,854
Venus Rising, A History of Feminism,
714
00:43:27,438 --> 00:43:30,190
and I think India would love
to work on this with me.
715
00:43:30,274 --> 00:43:32,151
If she would actually call me
once in a while,
716
00:43:32,234 --> 00:43:33,485
I could tell her all about it.
717
00:43:33,569 --> 00:43:37,990
I texted with her about a week ago,
reminded her not to be such a stranger.
718
00:43:39,199 --> 00:43:43,037
She said between working at that new cafe
and her coursework,
719
00:43:43,120 --> 00:43:44,872
there are hardly enough hours in her day.
720
00:43:44,955 --> 00:43:45,831
How do you like that?
721
00:43:45,914 --> 00:43:48,417
I don't like it, Mother, not one bit.
722
00:43:49,668 --> 00:43:51,045
Look at this.
723
00:43:51,128 --> 00:43:53,756
[chuckles] Business is so good.
724
00:43:53,839 --> 00:43:56,342
- [India chuckles]
- You did this.
725
00:43:56,425 --> 00:43:58,302
Can I get you your usual?
726
00:43:58,385 --> 00:43:59,970
Humanitarian adults,
727
00:44:00,054 --> 00:44:02,514
ecological adults, adults that…
728
00:44:02,598 --> 00:44:04,850
I think she's in some kind of cult.
729
00:44:04,933 --> 00:44:05,976
For real?
730
00:44:07,311 --> 00:44:09,313
[Elizabeth] I do wish
you had more support.
731
00:44:09,396 --> 00:44:12,024
Well, I got her into this.
732
00:44:13,150 --> 00:44:14,860
I'm going to get her out of it.
733
00:44:23,994 --> 00:44:25,537
- Hey.
- [Allison] Hey.
734
00:44:26,538 --> 00:44:27,373
Sit down.
735
00:44:27,998 --> 00:44:28,916
I want to talk to you.
736
00:44:31,877 --> 00:44:32,711
What is it?
737
00:44:34,254 --> 00:44:36,465
I want to talk to you
about our new sorority.
738
00:44:37,966 --> 00:44:40,719
It's kind of like a secret society
739
00:44:41,512 --> 00:44:43,389
for just a select few of us women,
740
00:44:43,472 --> 00:44:44,682
a special few.
741
00:44:46,016 --> 00:44:47,643
We are calling it DOS:
742
00:44:48,560 --> 00:44:51,271
Dominus Obsequious Sororium.
743
00:44:51,355 --> 00:44:52,481
What does that mean?
744
00:44:53,190 --> 00:44:57,736
It means Lord Master
of Our Obedient Female Companions.
745
00:44:57,820 --> 00:44:59,279
But what it really means
746
00:44:59,863 --> 00:45:01,865
is a lifetime of sisterhood,
747
00:45:02,574 --> 00:45:06,495
a vow of dedication unlike anything
we've ever known before.
748
00:45:06,578 --> 00:45:10,207
It's taking Jness to a whole new level,
749
00:45:11,417 --> 00:45:13,419
where we can tell each other our…
750
00:45:14,378 --> 00:45:15,546
our darkest secrets
751
00:45:16,755 --> 00:45:17,923
and our biggest truths.
752
00:45:19,883 --> 00:45:22,511
But before I tell you anything else,
753
00:45:22,594 --> 00:45:26,432
you have to solemnly swear an oath
you will never tell another soul.
754
00:45:27,266 --> 00:45:28,183
I swear.
755
00:45:29,476 --> 00:45:33,313
There's going to be rules
and rituals that no one can know about.
756
00:45:33,397 --> 00:45:36,900
And if you ever betray me, or us…
757
00:45:39,987 --> 00:45:41,488
there will be consequences.
758
00:45:42,030 --> 00:45:43,073
Real consequences.
759
00:45:43,157 --> 00:45:46,618
I could never betray you, Allison, ever.
760
00:45:47,786 --> 00:45:50,831
- Not after everything you've done for me.
- Good.
761
00:45:53,750 --> 00:45:54,710
I believe you.
762
00:45:55,919 --> 00:45:58,255
And that is why I'm bestowing you
763
00:45:58,338 --> 00:45:59,965
with our highest honor.
764
00:46:02,217 --> 00:46:03,135
Whatever you need,
765
00:46:04,052 --> 00:46:05,137
I'll do it.
766
00:46:05,220 --> 00:46:06,472
Anything?
767
00:46:06,555 --> 00:46:07,514
Anything.
768
00:46:11,143 --> 00:46:12,603
[both laugh]
769
00:46:22,779 --> 00:46:23,906
[Bonnie] Mark, can we talk?
770
00:46:25,282 --> 00:46:26,158
It's important.
771
00:46:26,700 --> 00:46:28,577
I'm studying right now, Bon.
772
00:46:28,660 --> 00:46:29,495
Can it wait?
773
00:46:30,120 --> 00:46:30,954
Sure.
774
00:46:51,558 --> 00:46:53,560
[Allison] Are you ready
for your transformation?
775
00:46:54,269 --> 00:46:55,562
Yes, Master.
776
00:46:55,646 --> 00:46:56,647
Yes, I am.
777
00:47:07,199 --> 00:47:08,033
It's time, then.
778
00:47:10,285 --> 00:47:11,745
Time to meet your sisters.
779
00:47:12,871 --> 00:47:13,830
[ringing]
780
00:47:15,541 --> 00:47:17,584
- Hello.
- [over phone] Catherine, it's Bonnie.
781
00:47:18,335 --> 00:47:19,920
Oh, Bonnie! What a surprise.
782
00:47:20,003 --> 00:47:21,338
Look, I can't talk long.
783
00:47:21,421 --> 00:47:24,550
I shouldn't even be doing this,
but I couldn't live with myself otherwise.
784
00:47:42,901 --> 00:47:43,986
[exhales]
785
00:47:48,031 --> 00:47:49,116
[chuckles]
786
00:47:51,326 --> 00:47:52,286
Bonnie, what is it?
787
00:47:52,995 --> 00:47:53,912
What's wrong?
788
00:47:53,996 --> 00:47:54,871
It's India.
789
00:47:55,497 --> 00:47:56,415
You have to save her.
790
00:47:56,498 --> 00:47:59,209
You have no idea
what these people are capable of.
791
00:47:59,293 --> 00:48:00,544
What are you talking about?
792
00:48:01,712 --> 00:48:02,796
Save her from what?
793
00:48:03,338 --> 00:48:06,425
Dominus Obsequious Sororium.
794
00:48:07,426 --> 00:48:09,928
Dominant over submissive.
795
00:48:11,430 --> 00:48:13,056
Master, please brand me.
796
00:48:13,974 --> 00:48:14,850
It would be an honor,
797
00:48:15,517 --> 00:48:17,978
an honor I want to wear
for the rest of my life.
798
00:48:22,274 --> 00:48:23,108
Ready?
799
00:48:24,776 --> 00:48:25,902
[sizzles]
800
00:48:31,283 --> 00:48:32,367
- [screaming]
- [woman] One,
801
00:48:33,076 --> 00:48:33,910
two,
802
00:48:34,620 --> 00:48:35,454
three.
803
00:48:38,081 --> 00:48:38,915
Ready?
804
00:48:40,917 --> 00:48:42,210
One…
805
00:48:42,294 --> 00:48:44,129
[India continues screaming]
806
00:48:44,212 --> 00:48:45,047
…two,
807
00:48:47,007 --> 00:48:47,841
three.
808
00:48:49,051 --> 00:48:50,260
[India breathes heavily]
809
00:49:00,312 --> 00:49:01,146
Thank you.
810
00:49:10,864 --> 00:49:11,823
I'm sure they'll…
811
00:49:13,075 --> 00:49:15,702
do everything in their power
to destroy me. That's, uh…
812
00:49:16,620 --> 00:49:19,331
That's what they do when they feel
that you've betrayed them.
813
00:49:19,873 --> 00:49:22,376
Bonnie, what kind
of danger is my daughter in?
814
00:49:23,293 --> 00:49:28,173
India is a member
of a secret slave-master group called DOS.
815
00:49:29,049 --> 00:49:31,301
India is Allison's slave.
816
00:49:31,385 --> 00:49:33,053
Allison is her master.
817
00:49:33,679 --> 00:49:38,058
Each master has to recruit more slaves
and then eventually, over time,
818
00:49:38,975 --> 00:49:41,395
the slaves become the masters themselves.
819
00:49:41,478 --> 00:49:42,604
Slaves. Masters.
820
00:49:42,688 --> 00:49:44,147
What the hell are you talking about?
821
00:49:44,231 --> 00:49:47,025
India signed a vow of obedience
822
00:49:47,109 --> 00:49:50,404
and gave damaging collateral
about herself.
823
00:49:50,487 --> 00:49:53,240
Keith has them on starvation diets,,
824
00:49:53,323 --> 00:49:54,658
makes them take nude photos.
825
00:49:54,741 --> 00:49:56,159
They have to sign away their…
826
00:49:57,327 --> 00:50:00,247
possessions, their property,
their bank accounts.
827
00:50:00,330 --> 00:50:03,875
India would never be involved
in something as twisted as this.
828
00:50:03,959 --> 00:50:05,335
[sighs] Catherine.
829
00:50:05,419 --> 00:50:09,548
Allison has brainwashed her,
manipulated her,
830
00:50:09,631 --> 00:50:11,133
all for Keith's benefit.
831
00:50:11,216 --> 00:50:14,136
India is a very smart girl,
832
00:50:14,886 --> 00:50:16,638
but she's also vulnerable.
833
00:50:16,722 --> 00:50:17,889
Too impressionable.
834
00:50:18,473 --> 00:50:21,685
To help her, you have
to learn everything you can.
835
00:50:21,768 --> 00:50:23,228
You have no idea
836
00:50:24,146 --> 00:50:27,858
how much Keith loves having control
over women.
837
00:50:28,525 --> 00:50:30,944
He loves feeding off that power.
838
00:50:31,862 --> 00:50:35,198
DOS is nothing more than
Allison providing their Vanguard
839
00:50:35,282 --> 00:50:36,783
with his own personal harem.
840
00:50:38,034 --> 00:50:39,077
[Catherine] A harem?
841
00:50:39,161 --> 00:50:40,412
Of sex slaves?
842
00:50:43,832 --> 00:50:44,791
[exhales]
843
00:50:46,293 --> 00:50:48,086
There's something else you need to know.
844
00:50:49,171 --> 00:50:53,049
Part of the initiation ceremony
845
00:50:53,133 --> 00:50:54,676
for each member is…
846
00:50:55,969 --> 00:50:57,304
they're supposed to be branded.
847
00:50:57,846 --> 00:50:58,680
Branded?
848
00:51:00,182 --> 00:51:04,519
Seared into their skin,
down by their genitals.
849
00:51:06,229 --> 00:51:07,773
What are you telling me?
850
00:51:07,856 --> 00:51:10,942
That my daughter has been branded
like a farm animal?
851
00:51:11,026 --> 00:51:12,235
I wasn't there, but…
852
00:51:13,487 --> 00:51:16,406
that's what Allison wants
for each new member.
853
00:51:20,619 --> 00:51:21,828
That's why I defected.
854
00:51:22,621 --> 00:51:24,206
They've just gone too far this time.
855
00:51:24,915 --> 00:51:26,458
I don't even know where to start.
856
00:51:28,376 --> 00:51:30,128
How do I get India out?
857
00:51:33,215 --> 00:51:34,674
I feel like I've lost her already.
858
00:51:39,304 --> 00:51:41,848
- What's this?
- She was referred to me. [clears throat]
859
00:51:44,059 --> 00:51:47,020
I spoke to her myself yesterday.
860
00:51:50,106 --> 00:51:51,900
I've told you everything I know.
861
00:52:04,788 --> 00:52:07,332
Anyone can be
susceptible to cults, Catherine.
862
00:52:07,415 --> 00:52:08,792
And I mean anyone,
863
00:52:08,875 --> 00:52:11,962
depending where they are in their lives,
what voids they feel.
864
00:52:12,045 --> 00:52:13,922
I need to stage an intervention.
865
00:52:14,589 --> 00:52:16,258
I need to get to India immediately.
866
00:52:16,341 --> 00:52:19,344
It can take a long time
to put together a proper intervention.
867
00:52:19,427 --> 00:52:21,429
I don't have a long time.
868
00:52:21,513 --> 00:52:22,472
Get her to laugh,
869
00:52:23,390 --> 00:52:24,724
share fond memories.
870
00:52:24,808 --> 00:52:26,184
Get her to miss home.
871
00:52:26,268 --> 00:52:29,271
Surround her with loved ones,
but do not ambush her.
872
00:52:29,354 --> 00:52:30,897
This is not like addiction.
873
00:52:33,483 --> 00:52:35,527
No accusing her of anything.
874
00:52:36,236 --> 00:52:37,737
All positive light.
875
00:52:37,821 --> 00:52:41,032
Saying anything negative about NXIVM
will only push her further away.
876
00:52:42,075 --> 00:52:44,119
Now she's taken out all her money,
877
00:52:44,703 --> 00:52:47,205
all wired to that goddamn NXIVM group.
878
00:52:47,914 --> 00:52:49,165
Who does this kind of shit?
879
00:52:50,333 --> 00:52:52,127
Not someone with a clear head.
880
00:52:52,210 --> 00:52:55,297
Fifty thousand dollars
for tuition is one thing.
881
00:52:56,464 --> 00:53:00,302
But draining every last penny she had
to her name is quite another.
882
00:53:01,094 --> 00:53:03,179
I mean, who knows
what she's capable of next.
883
00:53:03,889 --> 00:53:05,432
I think you should sit down.
884
00:53:09,352 --> 00:53:10,228
[sighs]
885
00:53:10,312 --> 00:53:12,022
The money can be replaced,
886
00:53:12,981 --> 00:53:14,524
but our daughter can't.
887
00:53:16,443 --> 00:53:19,029
[man on computer] Even as a youngster,
he was a bright fellow.
888
00:53:19,112 --> 00:53:22,365
By the time he was 13,
he taught himself high school math.
889
00:53:22,449 --> 00:53:24,159
When he graduated from Rensselaer,
890
00:53:24,242 --> 00:53:28,330
he had three degrees:
math, biology and physics.
891
00:53:28,413 --> 00:53:32,417
{\an8}He scored one
of the three highest IQs ever recorded.
892
00:53:32,500 --> 00:53:34,002
{\an8}His name is Keith Raniere.
893
00:53:34,628 --> 00:53:38,089
{\an8}- His idea is called "Consumers' Buyline".
- His first business was a pyramid scheme,
894
00:53:38,173 --> 00:53:39,424
just like NXIVM.
895
00:53:39,507 --> 00:53:41,217
He ripped off millions of customers.
896
00:53:41,301 --> 00:53:44,930
Raniere's devout followers say
he is a humble genius
897
00:53:45,013 --> 00:53:46,806
and one of the most ethical people alive.
898
00:53:47,557 --> 00:53:49,559
He's a fraud, a snake oil salesman.
899
00:53:50,560 --> 00:53:51,519
[phone vibrates]
900
00:53:52,395 --> 00:53:53,730
Agent Latham, FBI.
901
00:53:53,813 --> 00:53:56,608
[over phone] Yes, Agent Latham,
this is Catherine Oxenberg.
902
00:53:56,691 --> 00:54:00,236
I've left you a few messages
about my daughter and NXIVM.
903
00:54:00,320 --> 00:54:02,113
Yes, I received your messages, ma'am.
904
00:54:02,781 --> 00:54:05,825
We can't open an investigation
based on mere speculation.
905
00:54:05,909 --> 00:54:07,452
No, I'm not speculating here.
906
00:54:07,535 --> 00:54:09,955
Do you know for a fact
that this guy branded your daughter?
907
00:54:10,038 --> 00:54:11,206
Do you have any evidence?
908
00:54:11,289 --> 00:54:14,334
Any witnesses who were actually
in the room that night?
909
00:54:14,417 --> 00:54:16,378
Are they holding her captive
against her will?
910
00:54:16,461 --> 00:54:17,712
- No.
- Then I'm sorry.
911
00:54:17,796 --> 00:54:20,840
I'd like to help, but you've got
to give me something more to work with.
912
00:54:20,924 --> 00:54:22,217
- Thank you.

[exhales heavily]
915
00:54:28,098 --> 00:54:31,017
I'm sorry I didn't listen
to your instincts earlier.
916
00:54:31,101 --> 00:54:32,560
Oh, it's okay, Mother.
917
00:54:33,144 --> 00:54:34,312
You're here now.
918
00:54:36,815 --> 00:54:38,400
{\an8}[Elizabeth] Who are you calling now?
919
00:54:38,483 --> 00:54:40,902
{\an8}[Catherine] This blogger, Frank Parlato.
920
00:54:41,903 --> 00:54:42,946
I need to talk to him.
921
00:54:43,029 --> 00:54:43,989
[line ringing]
922
00:54:44,572 --> 00:54:47,701
So tell me something I'm dying
to know, Ms. Oxenberg.
923
00:54:48,535 --> 00:54:50,286
What was Joan Collins like in real life?
924
00:54:51,746 --> 00:54:53,707
I'm sorry, Frank.
I didn't travel all this way
925
00:54:53,790 --> 00:54:55,959
- to reminisce about my Dynasty days.
- [chuckles]
926
00:54:56,042 --> 00:54:58,003
Okay. Okay, touché.
927
00:54:58,920 --> 00:55:01,840
What do you want to know
that I haven't already written about?
928
00:55:02,424 --> 00:55:04,884
So you were a publicist for NXIVM.
Is that right?
929
00:55:04,968 --> 00:55:07,095
Moons ago, took my marching orders
930
00:55:07,178 --> 00:55:10,140
from the almighty Vanguard
and Prefect themselves,
931
00:55:10,223 --> 00:55:11,516
until I woke up one morning
932
00:55:11,599 --> 00:55:13,768
and I finally realized
what a scam it all was.
933
00:55:13,852 --> 00:55:14,811
I mean, [chuckles]
934
00:55:14,894 --> 00:55:17,522
come on, Keith and his 240 IQ.
935
00:55:17,605 --> 00:55:20,150
Albert freakin' Einstein's was almost 160.
936
00:55:20,233 --> 00:55:22,986
Right. So you told them you'd quit
and they threatened a lawsuit.
937
00:55:23,069 --> 00:55:24,154
Not one, missy.
938
00:55:24,237 --> 00:55:28,408
Hundreds. You see, that's what they do
to any and all defectors and detractors.
939
00:55:28,491 --> 00:55:32,537
They try and destroy your reputation,
litigate you to death to keep you quiet.
940
00:55:32,620 --> 00:55:34,539
And with all that Bronfman money
behind them?
941
00:55:35,081 --> 00:55:36,666
It's David versus Goliath.
942
00:55:38,626 --> 00:55:42,088
All this deranged sex stuff
you're hearing about with Keith?
943
00:55:42,714 --> 00:55:44,799
It's not breaking news.
944
00:55:44,883 --> 00:55:46,468
- What do you mean?
- Well, for years,
945
00:55:46,551 --> 00:55:49,846
he's had 15 to 20 sexual partners
at any given time.
946
00:55:50,472 --> 00:55:53,600
Made each of them feel like
they were his one and only.
947
00:55:54,434 --> 00:55:56,978
His bookkeeper, Nancy's daughter, Lauren,
948
00:55:57,520 --> 00:56:01,149
and the Mexican girl he started
to have sex with when she turned 18.
949
00:56:01,232 --> 00:56:03,735
Her and her sister, I heard.
950
00:56:04,486 --> 00:56:07,739
If he wanted you,
he'd figure out a way to have you,
951
00:56:07,822 --> 00:56:09,074
all to himself.
952
00:56:10,033 --> 00:56:13,203
Rumor had it that
Lauren Salzman kept that Mexican girl
953
00:56:13,286 --> 00:56:17,165
in her room for two whole years,
so Keith could have her at his whim.
954
00:56:18,333 --> 00:56:20,543
And you tried exposing all this?
You went to the FBI?
955
00:56:20,627 --> 00:56:22,170
I spoke to the same agent and he said
956
00:56:22,253 --> 00:56:24,631
there's not a thing we can do
without more concrete evidence
957
00:56:24,714 --> 00:56:26,508
I'm not sure what more they need.
958
00:56:26,591 --> 00:56:28,426
I wrote what I believed to be true.
959
00:56:29,385 --> 00:56:31,054
Most of it's fallen on deaf ears.
960
00:56:32,931 --> 00:56:34,724
This is all unbelievable to me.
961
00:56:34,808 --> 00:56:37,894
You should speak to Rick Alan Ross.
Maybe he can help you.
962
00:56:39,187 --> 00:56:41,064
I hope you have better luck than I have.

Oh, yeah. They tried to silence me
and sue me into oblivion, too.
967
00:57:14,931 --> 00:57:16,599
Fourteen years, federal court.
968

by posting online the psychology reports
969

of previous defectors.
970
00:57:23,606 --> 00:57:25,275
But how can they sue you for that?
971
00:57:25,358 --> 00:57:28,194
Oh. By claiming all that stuff
was proprietary.
972
00:57:28,736 --> 00:57:31,239
And shouldn't be allowed
to be printed without their consent.
973
00:57:31,865 --> 00:57:34,617
Cult leaders like Keith Raniere, they…
974
00:57:34,701 --> 00:57:35,994
they use deception.
975
00:57:36,077 --> 00:57:39,497
Then, through confession,
they extract secrets about you.
976
00:57:40,874 --> 00:57:42,375
I feel so guilty, Rick.
977
00:57:43,418 --> 00:57:44,377
I did this to her.
978
00:57:45,128 --> 00:57:46,171
I introduced her to it.
979
00:57:46,254 --> 00:57:47,797
Yeah, look, don't blame yourself.
980
00:57:47,881 --> 00:57:50,383
Destructive cults are well-oiled machines.
981
00:57:50,467 --> 00:57:52,260
Your daughter never stood a chance.
982
00:57:52,343 --> 00:57:54,220
Now, that doesn't mean that she's weak.
983
00:57:54,846 --> 00:57:56,014
Just brainwashed.
984
00:57:56,556 --> 00:57:58,725
Well, to us, perhaps, but to her?
985
00:57:59,893 --> 00:58:02,353
I guarantee she doesn't
believe that for a second.

to the press.

Mmm-hmm.
988
00:58:07,650 --> 00:58:10,570
I have contacts at People magazine
and at The New York Times,
989
00:58:11,404 --> 00:58:13,239
but I'm afraid to expose India like that.

Listen, I've been studying Keith Raniere
for years, Catherine,

00:58:16,659 --> 00:58:19,496
and, uh, he's as methodical as they come.
992
00:58:20,079 --> 00:58:23,374
And if you're gonna take him down,
you have to be just as methodical as him.

But you make one careless mistake,
one slip,

I know you need to protect your daughter,
996
00:58:32,592 --> 00:58:36,095

to match Keith Raniere at every turn.

01:01:12,043 --> 01:01:12,877
Bye.
1038
01:01:43,783 --> 01:01:45,368
[Keith] As I've always said,
1039
01:01:45,451 --> 01:01:47,328
the brighter the lights,
the more the bugs.
1040
01:01:48,746 --> 01:01:50,665
So, all this shows me
1041
01:01:50,748 --> 01:01:53,084
is that we do indeed have bright lights.
1042
01:01:55,211 --> 01:01:57,463
Sarah Edmondson is weak and confused.
1043
01:01:57,547 --> 01:02:01,384
Does she really think that we aren't going
to use her collateral against her?
1044
01:02:02,593 --> 01:02:04,053
After all we did for her,
1045
01:02:04,762 --> 01:02:06,139
just stabs us in the back.
1046
01:02:06,222 --> 01:02:07,807
We need to reach out to our lawyers.
1047
01:02:08,558 --> 01:02:09,392
Done.
1048
01:02:11,728 --> 01:02:12,854
[Lauren] What about India?
1049
01:02:14,605 --> 01:02:16,023
Her mother's causing trouble, too.
1050
01:02:16,816 --> 01:02:17,859
Don't worry about India.
1051
01:02:21,779 --> 01:02:23,114
She would never betray me.
1052
01:02:29,162 --> 01:02:30,621
[Catherine] I'm so glad you called.
1053
01:02:35,376 --> 01:02:37,336
You can come and stay with me, Sarah.
1054
01:02:37,420 --> 01:02:38,880
- It's safe there.
- No.,
1055
01:02:38,963 --> 01:02:39,839
No, I can't.
1056
01:02:41,758 --> 01:02:43,050
I, uh…
1057
01:02:43,134 --> 01:02:46,471
I'm… I'm gonna stay here
a couple nights, and then…
1058
01:02:48,389 --> 01:02:49,599
I don't know what. I…
1059
01:02:50,808 --> 01:02:52,226
Now that they know
1060
01:02:52,935 --> 01:02:55,563
you and I both went to The Times, um,
1061
01:02:57,231 --> 01:02:58,733
they're gonna come after both of us.
1062
01:03:03,404 --> 01:03:06,741
They made me feel so special
for so long, Catherine.
1063
01:03:08,159 --> 01:03:10,119
I was really struggling
at that time in my life
1064
01:03:10,203 --> 01:03:11,913
and I felt like they…
1065
01:03:13,790 --> 01:03:15,458
truly recognized something in me.
1066
01:03:18,211 --> 01:03:19,128
Lauren,
1067
01:03:21,589 --> 01:03:22,757
my master…
1068
01:03:23,591 --> 01:03:24,675
[laughs]
1069
01:03:28,012 --> 01:03:30,431
She was like a sister to me. So I thought.
1070
01:03:33,810 --> 01:03:38,356
She made it sound like this awesome,
badass bitch boot camp.
1071
01:03:39,315 --> 01:03:41,776
I bought into all of it. [chuckles]
1072
01:03:43,945 --> 01:03:44,862
[sobs]
1073
01:03:50,910 --> 01:03:52,620
I'm so sorry, Sarah.
1074
01:03:53,204 --> 01:03:54,330
I can't even imagine.
1075
01:03:54,413 --> 01:03:55,873
No. [sniffles]
1076
01:03:56,749 --> 01:03:58,209
You don't ever want to imagine.
1077
01:04:05,466 --> 01:04:06,801
I can show you, if you want,
1078
01:04:07,885 --> 01:04:08,886
what they did to me.
1079
01:04:10,137 --> 01:04:11,514
What they did to India.
1080
01:04:17,311 --> 01:04:18,437
[breathes shakily]
1081
01:04:24,318 --> 01:04:25,695
As soon as I realized
1082
01:04:26,737 --> 01:04:30,116
it wasn't a symbol at all
but really Keith's initials,
1083
01:04:31,242 --> 01:04:32,326
I went ballistic.
1084
01:04:33,911 --> 01:04:38,583
I have his initials burnt in me
for the rest of my life.
1085
01:04:39,375 --> 01:04:40,960
KR! Look!
1086
01:04:44,005 --> 01:04:45,798
God, they're evil.
1087
01:04:46,632 --> 01:04:48,134
Pure evil.
1088
01:04:48,217 --> 01:04:49,135
[sighs]
1089
01:04:55,933 --> 01:04:57,935
[sighs]
1090
01:04:59,228 --> 01:05:00,605
[breathes heavily]
1091
01:05:04,150 --> 01:05:06,694
[screaming]
1092
01:05:09,530 --> 01:05:11,115
[sobbing]
1093
01:05:19,123 --> 01:05:20,833
[school bell rings]
1094
01:05:24,462 --> 01:05:25,630
[chuckles]
1095
01:05:25,713 --> 01:05:26,797
They'll know.
1096
01:05:36,432 --> 01:05:37,808
How was school, darlings?
1097
01:05:39,101 --> 01:05:41,103
Got an A-minus on my world history test.
1098
01:05:41,187 --> 01:05:43,064
Oh, that's wonderful news, Francesca!
1099
01:05:43,814 --> 01:05:45,900
Sutton Holly asked me
to the winter formal.
1100
01:05:45,983 --> 01:05:47,443
Oh, that's wonderful, too, Rem.
1101
01:05:48,361 --> 01:05:49,487
And what did you say?
1102
01:05:49,570 --> 01:05:50,696
Told him I'd think about it.
1103
01:05:50,780 --> 01:05:51,989
Let him sweat it out a bit.
1104
01:05:52,907 --> 01:05:54,116
[cell phone ringing]
1105
01:05:56,619 --> 01:05:58,287
- Hello
- [man] Catherine.
1106
01:05:58,371 --> 01:05:59,872
Agent Latham, FBI.
1107
01:06:00,414 --> 01:06:02,333
I've got good news for you.
1108
01:06:02,416 --> 01:06:05,419
We're opening a full investigation
into all things NXIVM,
1109
01:06:06,087 --> 01:06:09,173
with the full cooperation
of the federal US Attorney's Office.
1110
01:06:09,799 --> 01:06:13,052
You don't need to carry the burden
of this on your shoulders alone anymore.
1111
01:06:14,428 --> 01:06:18,182
Thank you, thank you.
This is really great news.
1112
01:06:18,724 --> 01:06:21,143
- [Latham] I'll be in touch.
- Thank you again.
1113
01:06:23,896 --> 01:06:25,439
What was that all about?
1114
01:06:26,232 --> 01:06:28,109
We are getting India back.
1115
01:06:29,735 --> 01:06:31,487
Mom has a plan.
1116
01:06:33,656 --> 01:06:34,907
[seat belt clicks]
1117
01:06:39,996 --> 01:06:42,164
[cell phone ringing]
1118
01:06:52,883 --> 01:06:54,844
Hi, Grandma. How are you?
1119
01:06:54,927 --> 01:06:58,139
- Oh, I'm fine. I'm fine, dear. And you?
- [India] I'm well.
1120
01:06:58,222 --> 01:06:59,557
I'm so glad you answered.
1121
01:06:59,640 --> 01:07:02,018
I'm actually pretty swamped
at the cafe right now.
1122
01:07:02,101 --> 01:07:03,477
Do you mind if I call you back?
1123
01:07:03,561 --> 01:07:06,897
No need. I just wanted to let you know
I've sent you a plane ticket.
1124
01:07:07,606 --> 01:07:09,859
I hope you haven't forgotten
it's my birthday next week.
1125
01:07:10,609 --> 01:07:12,611
Let's not dare say that number out loud.
1126
01:07:13,738 --> 01:07:15,823
I'm here at your house, visiting, and…
1127
01:07:16,532 --> 01:07:19,994
I just so hope you can spare 48 hours
to come and see me.
1128
01:07:21,620 --> 01:07:22,663
I miss you, dear.
1129
01:07:22,747 --> 01:07:23,789
I miss you terribly.
1130
01:07:24,582 --> 01:07:25,499
Um…
1131
01:07:26,125 --> 01:07:28,335
I don't think I can.
1132
01:07:28,419 --> 01:07:30,337
It's just a couple of days.
1133
01:07:30,421 --> 01:07:33,632
And I've already told your mother
I will not stand for any arguments.
1134
01:07:34,175 --> 01:07:35,676
She's given me her word.
1135
01:07:37,303 --> 01:07:40,014
Please, dear, do this for me.
1136
01:07:42,725 --> 01:07:46,187
Okay. Two days,
but I can only do two days.
1137
01:07:46,270 --> 01:07:48,105
Lovely. Bye-bye.
1138
01:07:51,734 --> 01:07:52,610
[Catherine whimpers]
1139
01:08:02,036 --> 01:08:03,329
[phone chimes]
1140
01:08:08,292 --> 01:08:10,127
You really do look wonderful, darling.
1141
01:08:11,087 --> 01:08:12,588
Everyone's excited to see you.
1142
01:08:49,208 --> 01:08:51,043
You go ahead. I'll just be in a sec.
1143
01:08:53,587 --> 01:08:56,882
India, please put the phone away
and let's go inside.
1144
01:08:56,966 --> 01:08:59,301
- Let me just finish this one text.
- No, finish it later.
1145
01:08:59,385 --> 01:09:00,553
It'll just take a sec.
1146
01:09:07,726 --> 01:09:08,936
India…
1147
01:09:10,521 --> 01:09:11,647
have you been branded?
1148
01:09:18,529 --> 01:09:21,448
Yes, Mom, I've been branded.
1149
01:09:22,783 --> 01:09:26,245
But why is that such a big deal?
It was a good experience for me.
1150
01:09:28,414 --> 01:09:32,710
The fact that you think that mutilating
your body permanently
1151
01:09:32,793 --> 01:09:35,629
is character-building is proof--
1152
01:09:35,713 --> 01:09:36,922
Is proof that what, Mom?
1153
01:09:38,132 --> 01:09:39,508
That you're brainwashed.
1154
01:09:39,592 --> 01:09:41,844
I'm not. Don't say that.
1155
01:09:41,927 --> 01:09:43,262
Yes, you are.
1156
01:09:43,345 --> 01:09:45,681
I don't believe in brainwashing.
1157
01:09:46,599 --> 01:09:47,892
Oh, angel.
1158
01:09:48,684 --> 01:09:51,729
Don't you see that you're being
manipulated by a psychopath?
1159
01:09:51,812 --> 01:09:52,897
No, I'm not.
1160
01:09:56,442 --> 01:09:59,820
I know exactly what's going on.
I know about DOS.
1161
01:09:59,904 --> 01:10:02,156
God, is this why you all brought me here?
1162
01:10:02,239 --> 01:10:05,367
Darling, listen to me.
We can talk about this.
1163
01:10:06,410 --> 01:10:07,912
There's a specialist.
1164
01:10:09,330 --> 01:10:10,623
I think you'll like her.
1165
01:10:11,624 --> 01:10:12,750
Please take this.
1166
01:10:18,464 --> 01:10:20,549
I know about the collateral
that they made you give.
1167
01:10:22,426 --> 01:10:25,846
And if you gave them anything about me
and that's keeping you there,
1168
01:10:25,930 --> 01:10:28,515
I need you to know
that I don't care about that at all.
1169
01:10:29,308 --> 01:10:30,309
I would never.
1170
01:10:31,518 --> 01:10:34,313
You have no idea
what you're talking about.
1171
01:10:34,396 --> 01:10:36,774
You're in a cult, a sex cult.
1172
01:10:36,857 --> 01:10:38,484
We are not a cult!
1173
01:10:39,526 --> 01:10:41,946
We are a family, a sorority.
1174
01:10:42,029 --> 01:10:43,906
You don't understand and you never will.
1175
01:10:43,989 --> 01:10:46,659
- Those people don't care about you!
- Yes, they do!
1176
01:10:47,576 --> 01:10:49,745
Listen, listen to me, India.
Please, please.
1177
01:10:49,828 --> 01:10:52,039
The FBI are closing in on NXIVM.
1178
01:10:52,957 --> 01:10:56,210
Please leave now, before there's nothing
that I can do to help you.
1179
01:10:56,293 --> 01:10:59,380
- I'm so on the next plane out of here.
- India, please!
1180
01:10:59,463 --> 01:11:00,756
Wait!
1181
01:11:04,260 --> 01:11:05,261
India!
1182
01:11:06,720 --> 01:11:08,013
India?
1183
01:11:08,889 --> 01:11:12,059
What? What happened?
What did you say to her?
1184
01:11:12,142 --> 01:11:15,354
Oh, my God, Mother, what have I done?
I screwed it all up.
1185
01:11:21,068 --> 01:11:23,988
[Steffi] Your crusade now, Catherine,
is one of a desperate mother
1186
01:11:24,071 --> 01:11:26,156
trying to bring her child home.
1187
01:11:26,240 --> 01:11:30,452
It's something all mothers,
all parents can absolutely relate to.
1188
01:11:30,536 --> 01:11:33,289
It is, Steffi, and thank you
for having me on.
1189
01:11:33,372 --> 01:11:34,623
[Steffi] It must be unbearable.
1190
01:11:34,707 --> 01:11:37,376
Because India has been hijacked… yes.
1191
01:11:38,460 --> 01:11:41,964
I fear that her life is in danger, or else
I wouldn't be doing what I'm doing.
1192
01:11:42,047 --> 01:11:43,882
[reporter] There are defenders of NXIVM
1193
01:11:43,966 --> 01:11:47,511
who say these women are all adults,
and anything they do is consensual.
1194
01:11:47,594 --> 01:11:51,515
Well, let me start by saying
that extortion is not consent.
1195
01:11:51,598 --> 01:11:54,601
Coercion is not consent.
What is rather remarkable about this case
1196
01:11:54,685 --> 01:11:58,063
is that these are women doing
these awful things to other women.
1197
01:11:58,147 --> 01:12:00,149
I cannot let my daughter live like this.
1198
01:12:00,899 --> 01:12:02,943
But I don't know what else to do
to get her out.
1199
01:12:03,027 --> 01:12:05,654
If I can't save my daughter from NXIVM,
1200
01:12:06,447 --> 01:12:08,615
I'll still do everything I know how
1201
01:12:08,699 --> 01:12:11,702
to help save the other women,
the other victims.
1202
01:12:11,785 --> 01:12:14,246
I know that I'm in the fight of my life.
1203
01:12:15,956 --> 01:12:20,294
But never underestimate
the power of a mother's love.
1204
01:12:21,628 --> 01:12:25,132
I cannot let my daughter
live like this, but I don't--
1205
01:12:26,050 --> 01:12:28,510
Your goddamned mother is causing us
a lot of trouble.
1206
01:12:29,553 --> 01:12:31,597
You need to post something on Facebook.
1207
01:12:31,680 --> 01:12:34,016
- Post what?
- I don't know.
1208
01:12:34,892 --> 01:12:36,894
- Think of something.
- Okay.
1209
01:12:45,736 --> 01:12:46,695
Sit down.
1210
01:12:51,075 --> 01:12:53,869
More collateral? Why?
1211
01:12:53,952 --> 01:12:57,081
[sighs] You need to tell me her deepest,
darkest secret.
1212
01:12:59,541 --> 01:13:01,126
I can't think of anything.
1213
01:13:04,046 --> 01:13:06,048
The most humiliating thing.
1214
01:13:07,049 --> 01:13:07,925
I can't!
1215
01:13:08,008 --> 01:13:10,761
An affair? A drug addiction?
1216
01:13:10,844 --> 01:13:13,263
- An eating disorder?
- God, Allison, stop!
1217
01:13:13,972 --> 01:13:14,807
[sighs]
1218
01:13:14,890 --> 01:13:16,100
I don't want to do this.
1219
01:13:23,065 --> 01:13:27,069
I don't think you appreciate
the severity of this situation.
1220
01:13:29,738 --> 01:13:30,781
[scoffs]
1221
01:13:33,617 --> 01:13:34,493
So we'll sue.
1222
01:13:35,411 --> 01:13:36,245
For millions.
1223
01:13:36,328 --> 01:13:40,124
Let's drag her name through the mud,
like we've done to the others. [sighs]
1224
01:13:40,207 --> 01:13:42,042
India is one of us now.
1225
01:13:42,709 --> 01:13:45,629
Her mother's not going to
jeopardize her life.
1226
01:13:45,712 --> 01:13:49,633
This… this princess is not going
to destroy
1227
01:13:49,716 --> 01:13:51,718
everything I've built
over the last 20 years.
1228
01:13:51,802 --> 01:13:53,804
We built, Vanguard. We!
1229
01:13:53,887 --> 01:13:55,973
Yes, yes, Prefect. We.
1230
01:13:56,056 --> 01:13:59,977
We, all of us, have dealt
with these irritations in the past,
1231
01:14:00,060 --> 01:14:02,104
so what makes this so different?
1232
01:14:02,688 --> 01:14:04,523
The media is all over us.
1233
01:14:05,399 --> 01:14:08,986
Catherine Oxenberg has become
a major pain in the ass.
1234
01:14:09,069 --> 01:14:11,071
She has gone to law enforcement.
1235
01:14:11,155 --> 01:14:14,658
She has gone
to the U.S. Attorney's Office.
1236
01:14:14,741 --> 01:14:16,618
We have members defecting by the dozens.
1237
01:14:16,702 --> 01:14:19,788
We have never been under
so much scrutiny before.
1238
01:14:19,872 --> 01:14:23,250
Shh. Yes, we have, we have.
1239
01:14:25,836 --> 01:14:27,296
It's always made us stronger.
1240
01:14:29,506 --> 01:14:33,927
This, too… will make us stronger.
1241
01:14:37,681 --> 01:14:38,765
Catherine.
1242
01:14:38,849 --> 01:14:40,809
You want a bulletproof case, here it is.
1243
01:14:40,893 --> 01:14:45,063
Falsified financial statements,
years of NXIVM tax returns,
1244
01:14:45,147 --> 01:14:49,109
and testimonials from dozens and dozens
of defectors and victims' families.
1245
01:14:49,776 --> 01:14:52,571
It's clear evidence of racketeering
and sex trafficking.
1246
01:14:52,654 --> 01:14:54,740
Well, thank you for your persistence.
1247
01:14:54,823 --> 01:14:56,783
We're gonna have to talk to your daughter.
1248
01:14:57,576 --> 01:15:01,955
Whenever it happens,
please make sure to keep India safe.
1249
01:15:02,039 --> 01:15:02,956
You have my word.
1250
01:15:05,959 --> 01:15:07,336
[Nancy] Take care of him, Lauren.
1251
01:15:08,795 --> 01:15:11,632
He doesn't understand how bad
the publicity has gotten.
1252
01:15:11,715 --> 01:15:14,092
Mom, I won't let anything happen to him,
I promise.
1253
01:15:22,142 --> 01:15:24,353
What's happening? Where are you going?
1254
01:15:24,436 --> 01:15:25,312
Mexico.
1255
01:15:25,854 --> 01:15:29,900
Lauren chartered a plane.
We're taking Keith away, somewhere safe.
1256
01:15:29,983 --> 01:15:31,443
You're leaving me?
1257
01:15:31,527 --> 01:15:33,862
Once we're settled,
you can come and join us.
1258
01:15:33,946 --> 01:15:37,032
But in the meantime, if anybody comes
around asking any questions…
1259
01:15:37,115 --> 01:15:41,078
police, reporters, do not talk to anyone.
1260
01:15:41,161 --> 01:15:43,288
- Do you understand me?
- No, I don't understand.
1261
01:15:43,872 --> 01:15:45,666
I don't understand any of this anymore.
1262
01:15:47,876 --> 01:15:49,545
Everything is going to be fine.
1263
01:15:50,462 --> 01:15:51,380

[indistinct chatter on radio]
1271
01:16:59,865 --> 01:17:01,116
Nancy Salzman.

[phone chimes]
1273
01:17:28,101 --> 01:17:29,353
How can I help you?
1274
01:17:43,784 --> 01:17:45,661
[banging on door]
1275
01:17:50,207 --> 01:17:52,376
- [Lauren] Who is it?
- [Officer speaking Spanish]
1276
01:17:52,459 --> 01:17:54,086
[Officer] Open the door.
1277
01:17:54,795 --> 01:17:55,837
Go inside!
1278
01:17:56,463 --> 01:17:57,714
Open the door!
1279
01:17:59,299 --> 01:18:00,967
[speaking Spanish]
1280
01:18:03,762 --> 01:18:05,639
[Lauren] You can't just barge in here!

[speaking Spanish]
1282
01:18:06,932 --> 01:18:07,933
Where's your warrant?
1283
01:18:08,433 --> 01:18:10,310
- [guns clicking]
- [Officer speaking Spanish]

[speaking Spanish]
1286
01:18:25,909 --> 01:18:27,285
[Keith] Don't shoot! Don't shoot!
1287
01:18:27,369 --> 01:18:31,248
Get your hands up, amigo,
as high as they can go, higher, higher!
1288
01:18:33,417 --> 01:18:34,501
[handcuffs clicking]

[Officer speaking Spanish]
1290
01:18:48,265 --> 01:18:50,559
Keith! Where are you taking him?
1291
01:18:50,642 --> 01:18:52,519
- You can't do this.
- Keith!
1292
01:18:52,602 --> 01:18:53,937
[siren wailing]
1293
01:18:54,813 --> 01:18:56,606
Where are you taking him?

[dramatic music playing]

01:19:13,039 --> 01:19:14,249
[footsteps echoing]
1296
01:19:16,793 --> 01:19:17,627
Here we go.
1297
01:19:32,225 --> 01:19:33,351
India Oxenberg?
1298
01:19:38,565 --> 01:19:41,902
Dennis Latham, FBI.
We need you to come with us.
1299
01:19:43,528 --> 01:19:44,821
Am I in trouble?
1300
01:19:52,496 --> 01:19:54,331
[reporter] Sex cult leader, Keith Raniere,
1301
01:19:54,414 --> 01:19:56,416
and his first lieutenant,
actress Allison Mack,
1302
01:19:56,500 --> 01:19:59,294
are being arraigned here today,
at federal court, in Brooklyn.
1303
01:19:59,377 --> 01:20:02,589
Both are facing charges
of sex trafficking, forced labor,
1304
01:20:02,672 --> 01:20:04,508
extortion and racketeering.
1305
01:20:04,591 --> 01:20:09,471
{\an8}If Raniere is convicted on all charges,
he could face a lifetime behind bars.
1306
01:20:09,554 --> 01:20:11,473
{\an8}Mr. Raniere has not broken any laws.
1307
01:20:12,182 --> 01:20:14,476
{\an8}It is still the United States of America,
1308
01:20:14,559 --> 01:20:18,563
{\an8}and adults can engage in
sexual relationships that they consent to.
1309
01:20:19,022 --> 01:20:20,357
{\an8}[indistinct chatter]
1310
01:20:21,566 --> 01:20:24,194
[reporter] Allison Mack is alleged
to have played a key role
1311
01:20:24,277 --> 01:20:26,696
in recruiting women to be
Raniere's sex slaves
1312
01:20:26,780 --> 01:20:29,241
as part of a secret sorority called DOS.
1313
01:20:29,324 --> 01:20:32,911
{\an8}Allison, is there anything you want to say
to the people you hurt?
1314
01:20:32,994 --> 01:20:36,581
{\an8}Keith Raniere and Allison Mack
lack any hint of a moral compass.
1315
01:20:37,290 --> 01:20:40,252
{\an8}They will justify any abuse,
and they need to be held accountable
1316
01:20:40,335 --> 01:20:43,421
{\an8}for each and every single woman
that they have harmed and exploited,
1317
01:20:43,505 --> 01:20:46,466
{\an8}physically and mentally,
including my daughter.
1318
01:20:47,008 --> 01:20:50,887
It's an $11 billion industry
that is completely unregulated.
1319
01:20:50,971 --> 01:20:52,889
Will India be charged with any crimes?
1320
01:20:53,640 --> 01:20:55,183
It doesn't look like it, thank God.
1321
01:20:55,851 --> 01:20:57,853
They realize she was a victim
of all of this.
1322
01:20:57,936 --> 01:21:01,439
How is your daughter doing and have you
had the chance to speak to her?
1323
01:21:01,523 --> 01:21:03,733
India is still on the inside.
1324
01:21:04,651 --> 01:21:05,652
She's not back yet.
1325
01:21:08,572 --> 01:21:13,994
Through it all, I believed Keith Raniere's
intentions were to help people.
1326
01:21:14,077 --> 01:21:15,328
I was wrong.
1327
01:21:16,955 --> 01:21:20,333
I must take full responsibility…
1328
01:21:23,086 --> 01:21:26,548
for my conduct, and that is why
I am pleading guilty today.
1329
01:21:26,631 --> 01:21:29,217
I am pleading guilty,
because I am, in fact, guilty.
1330
01:21:29,301 --> 01:21:33,805
I accept that some of the things
I did was not only wrong, but criminal.
1331
01:21:35,599 --> 01:21:40,228
I justified them by saying what we were
doing was for the greater good.
1332
01:21:40,312 --> 01:21:43,148
I was afforded a great gift
by my grandfather and father.
1333
01:21:44,024 --> 01:21:46,276
With this gift comes immense privilege
1334
01:21:46,860 --> 01:21:49,988
and, more importantly,
tremendous responsibility.
1335
01:21:50,071 --> 01:21:54,326
I still believe that some
of what we did was good.
1336
01:21:54,409 --> 01:21:58,872
I am, and will be, a better person
as a result of this.
1337
01:21:58,955 --> 01:22:01,291
It does not come with an ability
to break the law.
1338
01:22:02,042 --> 01:22:03,418
For this, I am truly sorry.
1339
01:22:03,501 --> 01:22:07,005
I'm very sorry for my poor decision-making
that resulted in the harm to others.
1340
01:22:07,964 --> 01:22:12,135
It never even crossed my mind
that I… I would choose Keith,
1341
01:22:12,218 --> 01:22:16,139
but then, in the end,
Keith would choose Keith.
1342
01:22:25,023 --> 01:22:26,858
There are no victims.
1343
01:22:28,193 --> 01:22:30,820
That's why I'll choose not to be a victim.
1344
01:22:32,113 --> 01:22:34,532
{\an8}I choose not to be a victim.
1345
01:22:35,951 --> 01:22:38,244
{\an8}I choose not to be a victim.
1346
01:22:38,870 --> 01:22:40,705
{\an8}There are no ultimate victims.
1347
01:22:40,789 --> 01:22:45,293
{\an8}Therefore, I choose, I choose, I choose,
1348
01:22:45,377 --> 01:22:48,588
I choose not to be a victim. I choose…
1349
01:22:49,422 --> 01:22:52,133
I choose not to be a victim!

- [Melanie] This is Melanie Dipchand.
- Hi, Melanie.
1357
01:24:13,298 --> 01:24:16,092
It's, um, India. India Oxenberg.
1358
01:24:17,135 --> 01:24:21,139
My mom gave me your number,
and, um, I think I'm ready to talk now.

[Elizabeth] You look so cold.
Come here. There you go.
1363
01:24:49,709 --> 01:24:52,629
[Catherine] A hell has been lifted off me,
nothing less.
1364
01:24:58,802 --> 01:25:03,264
India told me that she's proud of me,
and thankful for the care and diligence
1365
01:25:03,348 --> 01:25:06,559
of the government in championing truth
through to the end.
1366
01:25:07,769 --> 01:25:11,648
She is delighted with the verdict
and she is grateful for the hard work
1367
01:25:11,731 --> 01:25:13,066
of all those involved.
1368
01:25:13,775 --> 01:25:16,986
She and all of her friends
have come through this stronger
1369
01:25:17,070 --> 01:25:18,446
than when they entered.
1370
01:25:20,949 --> 01:25:23,576
India did it. She figured it out.
1371
01:25:24,160 --> 01:25:25,328
She's free.
1372
01:25:54,149 --> 01:25:59,362
As a last resort to save my daughter,
I went public with my story.
1373
01:26:00,155 --> 01:26:03,116
I consider myself lucky
to have India back safely,
1374
01:26:03,825 --> 01:26:07,453
but my crusade led me well beyond
my personal story.
1375

I have learned how many people
are vulnerable to predatory abuse,
1376
01:26:12,834 --> 01:26:15,253
which is widespread and pervasive.
1377
01:26:15,879 --> 01:26:20,258
I want to convey how important
it is for people to be educated
1378
01:26:20,341 --> 01:26:23,303
about this far-reaching, systemic issue.
1379
01:26:24,387 --> 01:26:27,765
My message is never give up on your child.
