ALL MY FANS

***ALL MY FANS*** is the second episode of the second season of *Dead Man's Phone*.

## Synopsis

*You take a closer look at the world of online sexwork and learn to expect the unexpected.*

## Plot

Sophie calls you to say she thinks the video of Gemma Dream asking to be choked BDSM-style in the woods is fake and you find the real video in Gemma’s photos - the video was superimposed onto a background of the woods.

Vikram has no updates from the crime scene and no DNA matches to the body. Sophie informs you you have access to Gemma’s AllMyFans messages now and you find threatening messages from a user called Papa Prigo. Sophie traces his IP address and identifies him as Paul Rodrigo. His DNA wasn’t found on the body but PC Murphy brings him in for interrogation.

Paul is cocky, has no sympathy for Gemma’s death, and taunts you and Sutherland how you have no proof that he did it. He says he was in Spain at the time of the murder. Sophie verifies his alibi. You can push to charge Paul for making a threat to kill. Murphy and a team are sent to interview Gemma’s top subscribers.

You go back onto Gemma’s AllMyFans account as Paul said people are saying they’re glad she’s dead, but you find her account has been deactivated. After dealing with an infuriating customer service chatbot, Sophie tries to get in touch with the CEO but fails.

BBO News reports on a vigil held for Gemma, with an interview with her ex-boyfriend. Sophie identifies him as Matthew McPherson.

Murphy shares interview videos of Gemma’s subscribers. One interview with a lonely man hits Sutherland hard, and he sympathises with him for his loneliness being exploited by models like Gemma. He confides in you about his divorce and apologises for speaking out of turn.

Matthew comes in for interviewing, Murphy noting he’s clearly grieving. Matthew says he last saw Gemma five years ago. After meeting in a bar, they’d started going out but he never went to her house or knew she was an online sex worker. When she told him about it five months later, he broke up with her. He starts crying that he couldn’t support her as she’d have to keep their relationship secret but he didn’t want that, so they quietly broke up and cut contact with each other. He reveals her real name is Josie Donaldson, and agrees to help create an E-FIT of Gemma’s face. He leaves the interview feeling upset that he wasn’t there for her. Sophie searches for records on Josie.

Meanwhile, AllMyFans releases a statement on Gemma’s death, explaining they deactivated her account out of respect. Sophie manages to get in contact with the CEO Theodore Fox and Murphy is sent to bring him in.

Theo has brought his lawyer, Samson Li. Sutherland calls him out on his insincerity towards the abuse Gemma, a ‘valued member of the community’, received, but Samson explains AllMyFans aren’t obligated to moderate content. Theo says that he doesn’t have time to get to know the users of his platform, even the top-earning ones like Gemma. When you mention the accusations of sexual assault against him, Samson stops you as it isn’t relevant to the investigation, and the interview is terminated.

Sophie can’t find any close matches for a Josie Donaldson. You bring Matthew back in and tell him it’s not her real name. He genuinely thought it was, as that’s what she told him. He gets upset that she lied to him as well and leaves.

It cuts to a livestream of Bella Rose bursting into the police station accusing PC Murphy of perving on her in her DMs.
