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.

HEY, | HE DIDN'T INVITE YOU.

JUST KIDDING.

GET HIS ADDRESS.

MIKE?

MIKE!

YES, TONI? | WHAT IS IT?

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.

THAT BETTER BE HER.

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.

TRY NOT TO SPEAK.

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?

I JUST GOT HERE.

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.

JUST GO HOME. | OKAY?

YEAH.

THE MINUTE I HEAR ANYTHING, | SO WILL YOU. MM-HMM.

YEAH, | I'LL CALL YOU LATER.

OKAY? | OKAY.

THAT WAS TIANA'S MOM.

SHE'S A MESS.

SHE WANTS TO KNOW WHAT'S GOING | ON. LIKE I KNOW SOMETHING.

SHE KNOWS | MORE THAN I DO.

TONI, I TELL YOU EVERYTHING | THAT RELATES TO THE CASE.

HEY, I KNOW THE DRILL.

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.

DO YOU HAVE ANY KIDS?

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?

HOW ARE YOU | HOLDING UP?

AWFUL.

I JUST WANT TO SCREAM.

YOU HAVE EVERY RIGHT, | BABY.

HOW'S MICHAEL?

THE MAN OF STEEL.

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.

NO. | IT'S MORE THAN THAT.

I DON'T HAVE TO BE ME.

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.

I'M NOT GONNA | SAY ANYTHING.

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?

HOW CAN THEY EVER HOPE...

TO BECOME TRUE ADULTS | WITHOUT THEM?

WE LIVE IN A WORLD | FILLED WITH PEOPLE...

WEARING | MIDDLE-AGED BODIES,

YET THEY STUMBLE | TO A CRAWL...

WITH THEIR CHILDLIKE MINDS.

WE MUST ALL GO THROUGH | A RITE OF PASSAGE,

AND IT MUST BE PHYSICAL.

IT MUST BE PAINFUL...

AND IT MUST...

LEAVE A MARK.

I THINK WE GOT IT! | YEAH.

FRANK!

I THINK | WE GOT IT!

YOU SURE YOU WANT TO OVERSEE | THIS DEAL? I DON'T HAVE A CHOICE.

SO, WHAT DO WE GOT?

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.

SLOWER. | LET IT DRAIN.

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.

IT'S FOR | A PIERCED SEPTUM,

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.

THE OWNER | OF THAT SPIKE...

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 ##

## WATCH YOUR BACK | IT'S YOUR WIFE ##

## HEROIN | LOAD MY BLOOD ##

## SHOOT, SHOOT | FUN, FUN ##

## PRETTY GIRL ON ECSTASY ##
