## I'VE DIED | A THOUSAND TIMES ##
## DROWNED IN A SEA OF LIES ##
## WALKED EVERY PATH | THROUGH EVERY DOOR ##
## OH, HOW I'VE | SUFFERED THROUGH ##
## THE PAIN THEY CAN ENDURE ##
## THE THINGS | I HAVE IN STORE ##
## LEGIONS SUFFER | FOR THE FEW ##
## NEVER KNOWING | THEY WERE USED ##
## GET DOWN TO YOUR KNEES | AND PRAY ##
## ON THE THINGS YOU DEDICATE ##
## FOR THE PAIN | YOU WOULD FORSAKE ##
WELCOME.
HERE WE GO. | DONNA, CHECK THIS GUY OUT.
WHAT KIND OF NAME | IS CAPTAIN HOWDY?

SOMEDAY WE'LL MEET, MARRY AND HAVE | CYBERSEX WITH THE MAN OF OUR DREAMS ON-LINE.
EVERYTHING I NEED TO KNOW | ABOUT THIS GUY IS RIGHT HERE.
FEEL BETTER? | I GUESS SO.
JUST KIDDING.
GET HIS ADDRESS.
MIKE?

DO YOU, UH, | NOTICE ANYTHING?
I DON'T KNOW. | WHAT AM I LOOKIN' FOR?
GENEVIEVE DIDN'T | COME HOME LAST NIGHT.
DIDN'T SHE STAY AT TIANA'S? YEAH. | SHE PROBABLY SPENT THE NIGHT.
I'M GONNA KILL HER | FOR NOT CALLING ME.
HELLO?
OH, MARY ANN. | I'M GLAD YOU CALLED.
WHAT?
BYE-BYE.
THAT WAS | TIANA'S MOM.
SHE DIDN'T | COME HOME EITHER.
MOMMY! | AAH!
THERE.
THAT'S BETTER.
JESUS CHRIST.
HERE ALL NIGHT?
EVERYTHING'S SLOW MOTION | BUT THE CLOCK.
GODDAMN MACHINE.
WHAT'D YOU DO WITH | THE N.C.I.C. PRINTOUTS?
N.C.I.C.?
THE F.B.I. | COMPUTER SEARCH.
I ASKED YOU TO PHONE IN THE REQUEST | FOR A LIST OF ALL KNOWN SEX OFFENDERS.
YOU TOLD ME | YOU'D TAKE CARE OF IT.
WHAT, DO I GOTTA DO | EVERYTHING HERE MYSELF?
HEY, LOOK, I'M ON YOUR SIDE. OKAY?
IT SHOULD'VE BEEN DONE | YESTERDAY.
OUR SUCCESS DEPENDS ON THE | OTHER GUY SCREWIN' UP, CHRISTIAN.
WE DON'T MAKE MISTAKES. | EVER.
SURE YOU DON'T WANT | SOME DECAF?
HEY, LOOK, WHY DON'T YOU JUST GO HOME, | GRAB A SHOWER, GET SOME REST, WHATEVER?
I'LL PHONE THE F.B.I. | AND GET THE LIST.
ANYTHING TURNS UP, | I'LL PAGE YOU.
I PROMISE. ANYTHING TURNS | UP, I'M GONNA PAGE YOU.
JUST GO HOME. | OKAY?
YEAH.
THE MINUTE I HEAR ANYTHING, | SO WILL YOU. MM-HMM.
OKAY? | OKAY.
THAT WAS TIANA'S MOM.
SHE'S A MESS.
SHE WANTS TO KNOW WHAT'S GOING | ON. LIKE I KNOW SOMETHING.
TONI, I TELL YOU EVERYTHING | THAT RELATES TO THE CASE.
GOD.
I CAN'T HELP | GENEVIEVE...
IF MY CONCERNS | AS HER FATHER...
OVERRIDE MY OBJECTIVITY | AS A DETECTIVE.
YOU KNOW THIS. YEAH, | WELL, IT MIGHT HELP ME.
ARE YOU GONNA LET US IN, OR DO I HAVE | TO COOK DINNER OUT HERE ON THE PORCH?
FORTY-EIGHT HOURS? | LET ME ASK YOU SOMETHING.
YEAH?
WELL, LET'S JUST IMAGINE HE'S | BEEN MISSING FOR TWO DAYS...
AND SOME A**HOLE FILE CLERK TELLS YOU | THAT'S IT'S GONNA BE TWO MORE DAYS...
UNTIL YOU GET THE INFORMATION | YOU NEED TO FIND HIM.
RIGHT. YOU GOT 12 | HOURS, NOT A MINUTE MORE.
THIS IS CHRISTIAN. | WHAT DO YOU GOT?
AWFUL.
HOW'S MICHAEL?
HE'S A GOOD MAN. DON'T THINK | THAT HE'S NOT TORN APART TOO.
WHO CAN TELL?
DO YOU EVER GO ON-LINE, | UNCLE MIKE?
NO.
IT'S PRETTY COOL.
WHY IS THAT, | ANGELA?
WELL, YOU CAN | E- MAIL PEOPLE ANYWHERE.
YOU COULD WRITE 'EM A LETTER, | TOO, PICK UP THE PHONE.
SOMETIMES I PRETEND I'M SOME | GOODY-TWO-SHOE PROM QUEEN...
AND THEN I CAN CHANGE MY ON-LINE NAME | AND BECOME A HELL-RAISING "B" GIRL.
I MET- I-I'VECHATTED | WITH SOME KILLER GUYS.
IT'S ALL RIGHT.
GIRLS EVER GO OUT | WITH ANY OF THESE GUYS?
IT'S OKAY, ANGELA.
WELL, YEAH.
HOW ABOUT GENEVIEVE? SHE EVER | GO WITH A BOY SHE MET ON-LINE?
SURE, SOMETIMES.
WHERE ARE | THE RITES OF PASSAGE?
THE INITIATIONS | FOR THE YOUNG TO ENDURE?
TO BECOME TRUE ADULTS | WITHOUT THEM?
WE LIVE IN A WORLD | FILLED WITH PEOPLE...
WEARING | MIDDLE-AGED BODIES,
YET THEY STUMBLE | TO A CRAWL...
WE MUST ALL GO THROUGH | A RITE OF PASSAGE,
AND IT MUST...
LEAVE A MARK.
FRANK!
YOU SURE YOU WANT TO OVERSEE | THIS DEAL? I DON'T HAVE A CHOICE.
EVENIN', TOM. | DETECTIVE.
OKAY, A COUPLE OF HUNTERS SPOTTED THESE | TIRE TRACKS VEERING OFF INTO THE WATER.
YOU READY? | YEAH.
- YOU READY BACK THERE? | - GOOD TO GO.
THEN CAN WE KILL | THAT MUSIC?
STAY CLEAR OF THE CABLE, PLEASE. | STAY CLEAR OF THE CABLE.
EASY. EASY.
THERE YOU GO.
EASY.
WHOA. THAT'S GOOD.
THAT'S GOOD. | WHOA, WHOA! WHOA!
HEY, OFFICER, LET ME | - I WANNA GET A SHOT ON THE LEFT SIDE.
THIS IS TIANA'S CAR.
OH, SH*T.
OHH!
IT'S TIANA.
HEY, GAGE? HEY, COME | HERE. TAKE A LOOK AT THIS.
WHAT THE HELL | IS THAT THING?
LOOKS LIKE | A SEPTUM SPIKE TO ME.
INDUSTRIAL STRENGTH. | A WHAT?
A SEPTUM SPIKE.
AND THAT'S PROBABLY THE | BIGGEST ONE I'VE EVER SEEN.
"INDUSTRIAL STRENGTH." WHAT, | THIS IS BIGGER THAN AVERAGE?
YEAH. THAT ONE'S | A F***IN' MONSTER.
A STANDARD SEPTUM PIERCING | IS MADE WITH A 14-GAUGE NEEDLE.
EIGHT GAUGE, MAX.
THIS IS AN EIGHT-GAUGE. | GET IT?
THAT PIECE? THAT PIECE LOOKS | LIKE A DOUBLE-ZERO GAUGE.
HAS A HOLE IN HIS SEPTUM BIG | ENOUGH TO STICK YOUR FINGER THROUGH.
HE MUST BE | A REAL AFICIONADO, HUH?
WHAT MAKES YOU | SUCH AN AUTHORITY?
WELCOME TO MY WORLD, | DETECTIVE.
YOU THINK | MY ONLY INTEREST IN LIFE...
IS TO CHASE AMBULANCES | WITH THIS RIG?
WHAT DO YOU MEAN, | YOUR WORLD?
BODY ART. TATTOOING. | PIERCING. BRANDING.
SCARIFICATION.
THESE ARE ALL FORMS | OF PERSONAL EXPRESSION...
DATING BACK TO | THE F***IN' CAVEMAN.
- YEAH, RIGHT. | - HEY, WE HAVE POWER OVER OUR OWN BODIES.
AS TECHNOLOGY | RUNS AWAY WITH ITSELF,
WE- | THE MODERN PRIMITIVES, MAN-
WE REMAIN GROUNDED IN THE | TRADITION OF BODY MODIFICATION...
AND TRIBAL RITUALS.
- "MODERN PRIMITIVES." | - THAT'S RIGHT.
YOU THINK | IT'S SOMETHIN' NEW?
WINSTON CHURCHILL'S MOTHER HAD A TATTOO | ON HER WRIST, FOR CHRIST'S SAKE, MAN.
- SO, WHERE DO THESE "MODERN PRIMITIVES" HANG OUT? | - XIBALBA.
"XIBALBA"? | YEAH.
IT'S A CLUB IN THE CITY. | YOU'RE GONNA LOVE IT.
I'M SURE I WILL. WHAT | DOES "XIBALBA" MEAN?
IT MEANS | "THE ENTRANCE TO HELL."
## PRETTY GIRL | WITH A KNIFE ##
