Odom baseline once again. 04:51.874 --> 04:53.459 So I was always, like, 04:54.377 --> 04:56.629 like, "Damn, it look good over there." 04:56.713 --> 04:59.507 You know, obviously from coming from the Clippers to the Heat, 04:59.590 --> 05:02.593 then back to the Lakers was a dream come true. 05:03.344 --> 05:07.098 With Lamar, there are things that we kind of accommodated 05:07.181 --> 05:08.641 to kind of settle in. 05:08.725 --> 05:12.770 He had one incident, a suspension by the Los Angeles Clippers. 05:12.854 --> 05:16.107 I'm, you know, disappointed in myself 05:16.190 --> 05:17.817 for not handling myself correctly. 05:17.900 --> 05:20.486 Substance abuse, or whatever they called it. 05:20.570 --> 05:24.282 And then had been subsequently traded from them to Miami. 05:24.365 --> 05:25.950 It's my new crew, my new crew. 05:26.034 --> 05:29.162 He was a player that wasn't used to the discipline 05:29.245 --> 05:32.373 of format or intensive training. 05:32.457 --> 05:34.792 One to two, start line drill. 05:34.876 --> 05:38.254 But you could see that his greatness was also there. 05:38.337 --> 05:40.465 Let's see if they can cash in. 05:40.548 --> 05:42.467 This could be Lamar Odom. 05:42.550 --> 05:44.052 How about that! 05:44.135 --> 05:46.888 And then really his teammates supported him. 05:46.971 --> 05:50.767 You know, there's community, and Lamar really likes teams. 05:51.351 --> 05:52.185 It's his family. 05:55.396 --> 05:58.399 Homerooms were by last name, alphabetical order. 05:58.483 --> 06:02.320 So I'm M, he's O. So we met, like, pretty much first day. 06:03.529 --> 06:06.949 I would see him in the back of the bus. That's where the cool kids hung out. 06:07.533 --> 06:09.327 But when I wouldn't see him in the bus, 06:09.410 --> 06:11.579 it's because he'd show up after homeroom bell, 06:11.662 --> 06:13.373 sometimes putting on his tie. 06:13.456 --> 06:16.125 He's half dressed, brushing his teeth. 06:16.209 --> 06:17.877 He was always on his own time. 06:19.003 --> 06:21.839 I was seeing somebody that he knew too. 06:21.923 --> 06:24.634 And I remember I was, like, crying in homeroom. 06:24.717 --> 06:28.346 And Lamar was like, "Don't cry over him. You need to give me a chance." 06:29.180 --> 06:30.681 He always had charisma. 06:30.765 --> 06:32.892 Back then I didn't know it was charisma. 06:32.975 --> 06:35.603 Everybody was just always drawn to him. 06:35.686 --> 06:37.230 I wasn't unique. 06:37.313 --> 06:40.441 He knew how to… 06:40.525 --> 06:42.985 Pretty much, he knew how to charm. I'll just say that. 06:44.612 --> 06:48.491 And these are plaques from his Brooklyn Diocese 06:48.574 --> 06:51.119 and basketball division. 06:51.202 --> 06:55.331 Now this is his high school picture at Christ the King. 06:55.414 --> 06:57.208 Here he is right there. 06:57.291 --> 07:00.586 We came to Queens in 1957. 07:00.670 --> 07:04.382 I was 4, and Cathy was 2 weeks old. 07:05.174 --> 07:08.219 She had conceived Lamar when she was 22. 07:08.302 --> 07:13.266 And when she had Lamar, she was gonna name him Lamont. 07:13.349 --> 07:17.186 And I said, "Cathy, that's a sissy name. Name him Lamar." 07:17.270 --> 07:19.480 So she let me name him Lamar. 07:19.564 --> 07:22.233 This is Lamar up here. 07:22.316 --> 07:25.820 And godsons, my nephew Sherrod. 07:25.903 --> 07:27.989 Lamar's father was Joe. 07:28.072 --> 07:29.532 They had a big wedding. 07:29.615 --> 07:30.950 It was a big wedding. 07:31.033 --> 07:34.871 And then after a while it was estranged, an estranged marriage. 07:35.788 --> 07:38.249 My father was a… He gave into… 07:38.332 --> 07:41.627 He gave into, you know, into drugs. 07:41.711 --> 07:44.422 That's why my mother left him. He didn't wanna stop. 07:44.505 --> 07:47.216 I'd see him maybe, like, once a month, he'd come through, 07:47.300 --> 07:49.594 give me some money or whatever and… and leave. 07:49.677 --> 07:53.556 But my mom was a real cool, down-to-earth woman. 07:53.639 --> 07:55.933 She was pretty, and she was tall. 07:56.017 --> 07:58.102 And I remember my mother getting sick. 07:58.186 --> 07:59.645 We were coming from the Poconos, 07:59.729 --> 08:02.023 and she was complaining her stomach was hurting. 08:02.106 --> 08:06.611 Our first trip in between going to the hospital and coming back 08:06.694 --> 08:09.155 was like two different people, she lost so much weight. 08:10.406 --> 08:14.994 So they had diagnosed her in January, and she was gone… 08:15.077 --> 08:18.289 Two days after it was Fourth of July, so July 6th. 08:19.582 --> 08:21.292 She was gone. 08:21.375 --> 08:24.170 I wanna honor my sister Cathy. 08:24.253 --> 08:26.297 She passed away when Lamar was 10. 08:27.298 --> 08:29.550 And this is us at a party. 08:30.760 --> 08:33.638 You know, I put this here 'cause she's my angel. 08:33.721 --> 08:36.474 I just took the basketball and went to the park. 08:37.600 --> 08:39.977 Stayed out all night and shot the rock. 08:41.771 --> 08:44.774 You know, basketball. Always knew it was gonna be my way. 08:48.569 --> 08:51.489 When he started playing the ninth grade, 08:51.572 --> 08:52.949 he was like 5'10". 08:53.032 --> 08:55.660 Came back, he shot up to 6'7". 08:58.579 --> 09:00.206 And then he shot up after that. 09:00.289 --> 09:03.042 This guy, Lamar Odom, with the basketball, at 6'9", 09:03.125 --> 09:07.380 is considered by many people to be the best of the high school class of 1997. 09:07.463 --> 09:09.799 At Christ the King, I won the city championship. 09:09.882 --> 09:12.260 I had like 35 points. 09:12.343 --> 09:15.137 So I kind of knew about attention. 09:15.721 --> 09:18.641 I didn't know, you know, how and how much I was gonna get. 09:18.724 --> 09:20.560 He was becoming, like, more known 09:20.643 --> 09:24.605 and getting in headlines and stuff like that. 09:24.689 --> 09:27.817 He ended up going to Rhode Island for college. 09:27.900 --> 09:30.695 It was only a few hours away, like four hours' drive. 09:30.778 --> 09:33.614 And so he would come to Queens to hang out with his friends. 09:33.698 --> 09:35.574 He would see me. 09:35.658 --> 09:40.288 It was one of those visits that he came down to Queens and, boop! 09:41.831 --> 09:44.333 I ended up getting pregnant with Destiny. 09:46.085 --> 09:48.796 To the lane. Lamar says, "Get that stuff outta here!" 09:48.879 --> 09:51.966 And so we had our own little family unit, you know? 09:52.049 --> 09:55.511 Mind you, we're, like, 19, 20 years old. We're babies ourselves. 09:55.595 --> 09:59.765 But he wasn't that ever-present father because he couldn't be. 10:00.349 --> 10:02.476 Thirty feet away. Jumper in the air. 10:02.560 --> 10:03.728 He's got it! 10:03.811 --> 10:07.148 Lamar Odom has won it for Rhode Island! 10:07.231 --> 10:09.567 Obviously, his goal was to go to the league. 10:09.650 --> 10:12.445 So I feel there was a lot of distractions, a lot of people. 10:12.528 --> 10:15.323 He would introduce me to people, and I would be like, "Hi." 10:15.406 --> 10:16.824 What am I gonna do? 10:16.907 --> 10:19.577 That actually happened at our daughter's baptism as well. 10:19.660 --> 10:23.497 Somebody shook my hand, and Lamar wanted him to be the godfather of Destiny. 10:23.581 --> 10:24.707 I had never met the man. 10:24.790 --> 10:27.501 There's a lot at stake for the star sophomore. 10:27.585 --> 10:31.047 He could possibly be the top draft pick in the country. 10:31.130 --> 10:33.716 We were all there at the draft. 10:33.799 --> 10:36.052 My mother, my cousin, Brenda, 10:36.135 --> 10:37.928 my sister, Sandy, was there, 10:38.012 --> 10:40.765 Michael's wife, my brother's wife, Wanda. 10:40.848 --> 10:45.269 Good evening, and welcome to the 1999 NBA Draft. 10:45.353 --> 10:49.148 My cousin, Gerald, my cousin, Lisa, the boys. 10:49.231 --> 10:52.526 We got the boys that used to live in the Bronx, "the Ohio boys." 10:52.610 --> 10:55.821 With the fourth pick in the 1999 NBA Draft, 10:55.905 --> 10:57.948 the Los Angeles Clippers select… 10:58.032 --> 11:00.785 You know what he told me? "Any team but the Clippers." 11:01.410 --> 11:04.580 Lamar Odom from the University of Rhode Island. 11:10.461 --> 11:13.673 I remember I didn't want him to go to LA. 11:15.424 --> 11:18.761 I just knew, like, Hollywood, LA, like, hot mess. 11:18.844 --> 11:21.013 Like, you lose your soul. 11:22.932 --> 11:26.852 When they ended up coming back from the draft, we were on my stoop, 11:26.936 --> 11:30.398 and he was like, "You need to come with me to LA." 11:30.481 --> 11:33.609 "I need my family.

So you've spoken to her? 37:24.492 --> 37:25.952 Of course. 37:26.827 --> 37:29.538 If you could go back, and you had the timeline 37:29.622 --> 37:31.916 of these dates and important events in his life, 37:31.999 --> 37:34.752 and you go all the way back, he had no foundation. 37:34.835 --> 37:37.630 And then you get married and all the pressure of it, 37:37.713 --> 37:42.176 and then you're on a championship team, and you can't keep up a facade anymore. 37:42.259 --> 37:43.886 It's all gonna crash. 37:47.348 --> 37:50.726 Don't antagonize me. You just told him, don't run me over. 37:50.810 --> 37:52.645 Now you're trying to antagonize me. 37:53.229 --> 37:56.357 You wonder where your dad is. Where is he at?

I'll lose it all." 39:18.647 --> 39:21.817 "If I lose it, where are we gonna live? What are we gonna do?" 39:21.901 --> 39:24.236 And at the time, I was 24. 39:24.320 --> 39:26.280 I'm still trying to figure out my life. 39:26.364 --> 39:29.950 I had the show, but we weren't, like, making money like that. 39:30.826 --> 39:35.414 I remember just keeping all these secrets and feeling horrible about myself. 39:35.998 --> 39:38.167 I think youth had a lot to play with it. 39:38.250 --> 39:40.878 My first real love. 39:40.961 --> 39:42.755 And then you just feel for this person, 39:42.838 --> 39:44.423 and then you sorta rationalize, 39:44.507 --> 39:48.719 "Well, this person died, and this person, and my dad's a heroin addict." 39:48.803 --> 39:50.137 "Of course you're like this." 39:50.221 --> 39:54.475 "Now let me try to fix you and show you, if I love you enough, 39:54.558 --> 39:55.851 I'm gonna make you better." 39:56.435 --> 40:00.189 But I was fighting every single day, 40:00.272 --> 40:03.984 either to protect him, to not let him get caught, 40:04.068 --> 40:05.486 which sounds insane, 40:05.569 --> 40:08.114 to make sure his image, how he looked, 40:08.197 --> 40:10.491 how he presented himself to the outwardly world 40:10.574 --> 40:13.369 was still that Lamar Odom. 40:13.452 --> 40:14.829 I didn't sleep for years. 40:15.830 --> 40:17.915 I had an enormous amount of power in the city. 40:17.998 --> 40:20.209 My wife was just as popular as I was. 40:20.751 --> 40:22.044 I was the shit. 40:22.837 --> 40:25.464 Then everything just changed. 40:26.465 --> 40:30.386 I remember he was driving to the Laker facility to go to practice, 40:30.469 --> 40:32.430 and he was listening to the radio. 40:32.513 --> 40:37.101 Lamar, it's being reported that you're about to be traded to Dallas. 40:37.184 --> 40:39.603 He was like, "How does the radio know?" 40:39.687 --> 40:41.981 "I've given you guys so much, 40:42.064 --> 40:47.570 and I'm finding out this way that I'm being just traded somewhere else?" 40:47.653 --> 40:50.573 It sort of started spiraling a lot from there. 40:50.656 --> 40:53.576 I would think that I wouldn't be treated like a number. 40:53.659 --> 40:56.871 I thought I was gonna be here the rest of, you know, my whole life. 40:56.954 --> 41:00.040 And I don't know, I think maybe I rubbed people the wrong way. 41:00.124 --> 41:02.251 Maybe with doing the show. 41:02.334 --> 41:04.670 I found my wife in LA, my family. 41:04.753 --> 41:06.964 LA is a part of me. 41:07.047 --> 41:09.550 It's still hard to see one of my friends, 41:09.633 --> 41:10.801 and one of our great players, 41:10.885 --> 41:13.137 go somewhere seemingly for nothing. 41:13.220 --> 41:15.139 Whether they have something else going on, 41:15.222 --> 41:18.767 you know, that's on them to decide, but it's tough, man. 41:18.851 --> 41:19.810 It's tough. 41:19.894 --> 41:22.271 First time basketball's felt like a job. 41:22.354 --> 41:24.231 Like, you know what I mean? 41:24.315 --> 41:30.821 The drug use that transpired from the Dallas trade was monstrous. 41:31.906 --> 41:34.408 When you learned that the Lakers had traded you, 41:34.491 --> 41:37.578 what was your immediate thought then? 41:37.661 --> 41:38.996 I was surprised. 41:39.580 --> 41:40.706 Um… 41:40.789 --> 41:44.502 I was surprised just because I didn't hear anything. 41:44.585 --> 41:47.630 But, um, I mean, I couldn't have landed in a more… 41:47.713 --> 41:50.382 You know, in a, in a… 41:50.466 --> 41:52.134 Just in a great situation. 41:52.718 --> 41:55.471 I've just never seen so many drugs in such a dark spot. 41:55.554 --> 41:59.058 Just such a dark aura around us. 41:59.141 --> 42:01.477 They weren't testing for certain painkillers, 42:01.560 --> 42:03.687 and he knew which ones they weren't, 42:03.771 --> 42:06.899 and he was freebasing painkillers. 42:08.609 --> 42:11.695 Right before Christmas, because I remember I had a gingerbread house. 42:11.779 --> 42:14.740 I tried to make it so cute in this hotel. 42:14.823 --> 42:20.037 He was locked in the hotel bathroom for maybe four days just doing drugs. 42:20.120 --> 42:22.581 Has no concept of time.

Some get it, some don't. 47:18.418 --> 47:19.920 The ones that don't, come here. 47:20.003 --> 47:22.965 As the years progressed, and his brand got bigger, 47:23.048 --> 47:26.510 he needed somebody to manage his media. 47:26.593 --> 47:32.015 And that is really what brought me out here to work with Dennis full-time. 47:34.309 --> 47:36.979 Okay, here we are. It's the old sign. 47:37.563 --> 47:38.897 And, uh… 47:40.774 --> 47:43.402 Guess what?

This is the bar. 48:49.593 --> 48:50.886 And this is the orgy room. 48:50.969 --> 48:53.805 There are also some brothels 48:53.889 --> 48:57.059 that really aren't anything more than a single-wide trailer 48:57.142 --> 48:59.394 out in the middle of nowhere 48:59.478 --> 49:01.104 you wouldn't want to set foot in. 49:03.231 --> 49:08.820 The Love Ranch was a series of fabricated homes 49:08.904 --> 49:10.864 that were linked together. 49:10.948 --> 49:13.867 So this was not the lap of luxury. 49:15.577 --> 49:19.164 This was the walkway that we just came up. 49:19.247 --> 49:23.377 This would've been, like, the patio. And then the front door was right here. 49:23.460 --> 49:25.587 -Hello! -Hey, it's Lola Marks. 49:25.671 --> 49:28.090 -Hello. -And Amber, smokin' Amber. 49:28.173 --> 49:30.300 -How are you guys today? -We're doing good. 49:30.384 --> 49:32.761 This whole area was a bar. 49:32.844 --> 49:35.097 There was another door you would come in here. 49:35.180 --> 49:36.515 And here's the bar. 49:36.598 --> 49:38.183 And here's the bar. 49:39.101 --> 49:45.148 And then everything out here would've been all the modular units 49:45.232 --> 49:46.900 connected to each other. 49:46.984 --> 49:50.946 I was having breakfast with Larry Flynt and Jimmy Flynt one morning. 49:51.029 --> 49:54.449 Dennis himself, his worth was, 49:54.533 --> 49:56.326 "Are you a celebrity?" 49:56.410 --> 49:59.830 "Are you acknowledging me?" And, "How famous are you?" 50:00.747 --> 50:02.791 But it was pretty rare 50:02.874 --> 50:04.835 that a celebrity, 50:05.419 --> 50:09.423 certainly anybody above the D-list, 50:09.506 --> 50:12.843 would be actively trying to come out 50:12.926 --> 50:14.511 to one of the brothels. 50:14.594 --> 50:17.806 This was kind of a myth. This was something Dennis perpetuated. 50:17.889 --> 50:20.100 I've invited President Obama 50:20.183 --> 50:22.561 to come to the Bunny Ranch in a friendly environment. 50:22.644 --> 50:27.274 But I don't know that this has been talked about a lot, or maybe even ever, 50:27.357 --> 50:31.778 that Lamar Odom actually began contacting several of the girls, 50:31.862 --> 50:33.905 uh, from the Love Ranch on Instagram. 50:33.989 --> 50:37.159 And, you know, it was one of those things where, yeah, I heard it, 50:37.242 --> 50:39.995 but you don't know if these things are really real. 50:40.787 --> 50:45.792 Being a professional athlete, there's a lot of easier ways to do this, 50:45.876 --> 50:50.839 uh, than to drive an hour outside of the city into the desert, 50:50.922 --> 50:54.426 walk into a brothel such as it was, 50:54.509 --> 50:57.554 and wanna live there for a few days, essentially. 50:58.555 --> 51:00.182 As the days progressed, 51:00.265 --> 51:04.770 I remember that him or one of his handlers 51:04.853 --> 51:10.734 or someone actually contacted the brothel and wanted a car to pick him up. 51:10.817 --> 51:13.320 So it definitely became real 51:13.403 --> 51:16.490 when he gave us the address of where he was at, 51:16.573 --> 51:20.786 the car went and picked him up, and the driver called the Love Ranch 51:20.869 --> 51:23.080 and said, "Yep, it's him, and we're in the car, 51:23.163 --> 51:25.457 and we're on the way back out there." 51:28.126 --> 51:30.712 When you think about pivotal memories in your past, 51:30.796 --> 51:33.548 it is weird to get definitive confirmation 51:33.632 --> 51:37.928 that one of those locations has been completely erased from existence. 51:41.473 --> 51:43.934 911, where is your emergency? 51:44.017 --> 51:45.852 We need an ambulance. 51:45.936 --> 51:47.437 It was early in the week. 51:47.521 --> 51:49.689 A Monday or Tuesday or something like that. 51:49.773 --> 51:50.732 Very slow day. 51:51.900 --> 51:55.695 The Love Ranch had, like, a separate house behind the brothel. 51:56.488 --> 51:58.115 If you were spending enough money, 51:58.198 --> 51:59.449 we'd put you in that house. 51:59.533 --> 52:01.785 And I knew Lamar was there. 52:01.868 --> 52:05.497 He'd been there for, I think, the last two days at that point. 52:05.580 --> 52:08.166 So I'm sitting at my desk, I'm working, 52:08.250 --> 52:11.253 and one of the girls that was with him 52:11.336 --> 52:14.923 comes running into my office screaming. 52:16.091 --> 52:19.886 "Oh my God, Richard, come quick.
