What do you think about Sarah?

Bernstein or Weinstein?

Oh, I mean the name Sarah.

The baby.

Oh, I don't know. I was thinking of
Maria, maybe, or Carmen.

Something more musical.

Sarah Scali. I don't like the two S's.
It sounds like we're trying to be cute

something.

Oh, Sarah was your mother's name.

She's been gone for 20 years.

But ever since I got pregnant, there
hasn't been a minute I haven't thought

about her.

Sarah's a beautiful name.

I hardly knew her.

I don't want to force you into anything.

Hey, she was your mother.

She deserves to be remembered.

Super smile, Kathy.

Apple pie and Chevrolet.

Yeah. That's it. That's good.

Okay, sweetheart. That road to Hollywood
starts right here.

Okay, stand up for me, okay?

Yeah.

Yeah.

Shoulder.

Show me a little more.

No bids like share bids.

Okay, now left shoulder.

Come on, play with me, Kathy.

Play with me.

Okay, now, stay standing.

Now.

Yeah, that's it.

Okay,

lean forward.

There we go.

Now, let it drop.

Take over, sweetheart. This is what it's
all about.

That wasn't very tough now, was it?

What are you doing?

You took these pictures!

What are you talking about?

Lisa McKellar!

Get out of here!

Hello? What are you doing?

Can I talk to your name?

Hurry, hurry!

Gee, a chef would be very disappointed.

Remember I was driving us up to
Saratoga, and you scarfed down five of

things for breakfast? My arteries get
clogged up just thinking about it. It

six egg sandwiches.

They were going to Lake George, not
Saratoga, and I drove.

You knew that, Tony. That's when you
caught the poison oak.

What happened last night, Joe?

Bladder control is a private matter.

Assault with intent to commit great
bodily harm is very public.

Everything okay at home?

Joe, you could go to jail for a year, up
to three if the judge had a lousy

lunch. You want to put Connie and Lisa
through that?

Just tell me why you did it.

Maybe I can help with the DA.

Okay, Joe.

Joe's not the type to go ballistic like
that. I've known him and his family for

ten years.

His daughter used to babysit for David.
It doesn't matter anyway.

What do you mean it doesn't matter?
We're going to release Joe as soon as we

finish the paperwork.

The photographer's not pressing charges.

You guys want a cup?

Yeah, sure, Gordy. Great.

Delaney gets beaten senseless. Five
grand worth of equipment pulverized and

not going to press charges? I just
talked to his lawyer and he says he

leave it be.

I thought you'd be happy.

I am.

Remind me never to give you bad news.

Ah! Ah!

Somebody! Ah!

Hey!

Thank God criminals don't see what goes
on here. It would give them new hope.

Freddy!

I'll pay for the damages.

These things happen.

There's not no defect.

Can you take care of this, please?

Right away, boss.

Gee, Lucille, that must be the fault.

Hello? Tommy.

Oh, hi, hon. Are you coming home sooner
than later?

You okay?

We have a situation here regarding your
son and a videotape called Bedroom

Fantasies Come True.

And I don't think your son was learning
about interior design.

How come when he gets an A in English,
he's your son?

Tony. I'll be there in an hour.

Pick up some milk.

Bye.

It had surprisingly good production
values.

You need a ride home?

You guys are releasing my card.

Joe. What happened?

Happened.

Did

Ricky

rent it? He didn't have to.

Ricky's dad's got a bunch of tapes.

We were watching it in Ricky's room.

He's his own VCR.

It was almost over when his mom walked
in on us.

What did she say?

At first she didn't say anything.

Then she started screaming at Ricky's
dad.

He started yelling at Ricky. I started
at home.

David, remember when we were talking
about what people do once they get

Fight about bills?

No, wise guy.

Making love.

Oh, yeah.

What you saw on that tape had nothing to
do with love.

Those people, they're just actors.

They probably don't even know each
other's names.

You see, David, those tapes take the
most beautiful thing that can happen

between people and they turn it into a
business transaction.

That's just not the way we want you to
think of it.

It's only natural that you're going to
be curious.

I was too when I was your age.

Did you watch a lot of tapes?

We didn't have tapes then.

You're kidding.

The point is, there are probably going
to be times when you're with the guys

one of them is going to have a tape.

Mark or Jason or whoever.

See, I can't control what they do or
what their parents do. I can't even

what you do because I won't be there.
But at least you'll know how we feel

it.

Let me tell you this.

I can control what goes on here.

If you ever bring one of those tapes
into this house, it'll be a day that you

regret for a long, long time. Do you
read me?

I probably wouldn't have even watched it
if it wasn't for Lisa McKellar.

You didn't tell me Lisa McKellar watched
that tape with you.

She didn't watch it.

She was in it.

That couldn't have been Lisa.

Mom, she was my babysitter.

Oh, my God.

Tony, can you imagine what Joe and
Connie must be going through?

Joe, I wish you'd come to me about Lisa.
I know why you didn't. I just wish you

had. Did Neil Delaney make the tape she
was in?

Is that why you went after him and why
he didn't press any charges?

Tape?

What tape?

What are you talking about?

Joe, Lisa was in a porn... An adult
film.

That's impossible!

She's 16 years old.

Joe, it's not my business to tell you
what to do.

But... Have you talked to her?

Connie, then?

School psychologist?

Priest, maybe?

She's gone.

We don't know where she is.

Help us, Tony.

Help us find her.

You're a slime and you're going to jail.
You took these pictures of Lisa

McKellar. I couldn't remember.

She's underage. Oh, calm down. Then you
put her in a porno film. You're crazy.

This is harassment.

My loyalty.

All right, all right, back off.

He's really a pussycat once you get to
know him. Yeah, he's out of control.

keep him away from me, okay?

I'll try.

But you're gonna have to give me
something with which I can mollify him.

Here. Where's Lisa McKellar? I'm telling
you, I don't know.

Her man practically ruins my place, and
now you guys are all... Hey, Joe found

the pictures. Your name was on the back.
His daughter's missing. Can you blame

him?

Okay, look.

I see hundreds of these girls.

I don't know anything about them except
that they want to get into show

business. And they know they got to show
a little skin to get noticed.

All I do is send their pictures to some
clearing houses in the city.

If they like the girl, I get a token
payment. I don't care what he says to

You got a serious problem with me. We're
making progress here.

Clearing houses.

Like employment agencies?

Yeah. For porn films?

Yes, sir.

I want the addresses.

You promise they won't know I gave them
up?

Because, look, it could cost me some
change. Hey, hey, hey!

I ain't going anywhere with him!

You want something from me? Get yourself
a warrant!

I was this close to getting those
addresses.

Hey!

Of all the times we've pulled good cop,
bad cop, you've never blown it like

that. What the hell's going on?

Is this how you justify your existence?

You can't fight crime. She's standing
around waiting for meters to expire.

We gave you a ten -minute grace period,
ma 'am.

Excuse me. Excuse me.

I'm on a fifth income!

You all right now?

Fine. You sure?

Delaney said the clearinghouses are down
in New York.

Maybe Lisa's down there.

I'll call Nick Brancati at the 91st.

You really think bronchitis is going to
help?

Well, what would have helped is if we
got those address lists from Delaney.

we're going to have to apply for a
warrant.

Post Fort Headquarters, corner of Beach
and Lafayette. I have a 10 -53, an aided

case, and request for an ambulance on a
fourth width.

That's only three blocks away.

He just ran out of the flower shop into
the street.

For Gail, the love of my life, Lou.

Well, get a DWI test on the driver and a
toxicology report on Lou.

And notify the family.

I never made a death notification
before.

Me neither.

Well, don't worry. You'll be fine.

You're the senior officer.

You're a woman.

So? Well, it's a well -known fact that
women are better at delivering this kind

of news.

Well -known by who?

By, you know, authorities in the field.
Look, Stan, there's only one fair way to

decide this. What?

Odds or reasons.

Odds.

One, two, three, shoot.

You'll be fine.

It's possible she's in New York. We'll
check in with the cops down there.

That tape could have been made six
months ago, maybe even longer.

I spent all night thinking about that.

Here she was living at home.

We talked like always. She seemed the
same. She, uh... We didn't have any

Shames me to say it.

There were no big fights?

Nothing that might make her run away?

No. I always thought we were very close.

Did you find her?

Not yet.

This is Doug Cassidy. Doug, Commissioner
Scali, Detective Pentangeli. How you

doing, Doug? Good.

Quarterback for East Bridge High last
year, right?

Yeah. And if he plays his cards right,
maybe a future member of the family.

Yeah, well, future.

I, uh, I told Doug about the tape.

That was the first you'd heard of it?

Yeah. Lisa didn't tell you?

I mean, I guess she figured it's not the
kind of thing I'd want to hear.

She hasn't tried to contact you? No.

What about her other friends?

Well, I made a list.

of all the ones I could come up with.

I've been calling them myself.

You ever thought of becoming a cop?

You don't get shots selling sofas.

Did she ever mention clearing houses in
New York that Neil Delaney might have

sent her pictures to?

You know, he talked her into taking
those pictures.

I mean, she wouldn't have done this on
her own.

We'll be in touch.

Thanks, Doug.

Thanks, Tony.

We're going to get past this, Doug.

We're all going to get past him.

I know the girl, Nicky, and her family.

I'm trying to pull her out of this mess
before it's... I know you, Swan.

It's just... I know.

I know.

Thanks. Bye.

Anthony, I'm up to my gagoots on the
way, girls.

To find her is a needle in a haymill.
You want to search for her?

I extend the invitation.

Mickey Bronkitis, New York's finest? On
top of that, Judge Scott refused to

issue the warrant to search the
photographer's place.

I was supposed to Mirandize him, Judge
Scott says.

And since I didn't, oh, the addresses
are inadmissible, Judge Scott says.

Oh, God love you, I says.

So I applied to the appellate division.

But that could take a couple of days.

Third listing.

Shangri -La Productions. We'll leave his
name right there.

When was the warrant issued?

In a couple of days.

We gotta wait.

It's 48 hours.

It's the law. Oh, come on, Tony. You
stole this from Delaney. Hey, this is

best lead we've got.

We could be on our way to New York right
now.

Nobody has to know how we got this
stuff. I'll know.

Hey, look, Paulie, we got a problem
here. Only if you want it to be. I'm not

talking about the file.

Paulie.

I love you.

We've been there for each other since
Croydon Avenue.

Whatever's beating at you, I want to
know about it.

Because I'm still here for you.

In spite of everything you've seen, you
still think people are basically good.

Because of everything I've seen, I think
they're basically rotten, okay? We got

a difference of opinion here.

Except for the kids.

They still got the goodness in them.

Or the potential for it.

And when I see that goodness being
stolen away, I... I don't know, it...

It's the only part of the job I just
can't wisecrack my way around.

Look, you're the boss, Tony.

You want to wait for the warrant, that's
what we'll do.

But if you want to take a ride down to
New York, I'm ready.

Let's take a drive

Some Shangri -La.

No excuses, Joel. I don't want to hear
it. You're costing me overtime.

I can't work with this. We don't have
time to rely. Make it work, Joel. But if

you just give me... Make it work, Joel,
or I'll find someone who can.

We're the actors.

Let's go.

Come on. Time is money. I've got a
production schedule to meet here.

To make a movie, you have to shove tape
through a camera.

What's the holdup, Fellini? Come on.

Hey, where are the actors?

We'll get them. We'll get them.

Looks like we could be here for a while.

Great.

Tell someone the most important person
in her whole life is never coming home.

My advice is like root canal.

The faster you get it over with, the
better.

So she opens the door, I say, your
husband's dead.

That's too fast.

Fine. I'm out of the advice business.

I gotta ease into it. Like, Mrs.
Ippolito, it's my sad duty to inform you

that... Don't say sad.

It's emotionally evocative. Be
businesslike, correct, but maintain an

distance.

Sounds like my last three dates.

Sounds like nobody's home. Yeah.

Move in a little.

A little more.

Tammy, turn toward camera.

Now let's hear some moaning.

Let's hear some moaning?

I've only made 50 of these things.

Cut.

Move on to the next scene.

Reload.

Lisa?

Get her out of here.

But she's the one... I said out of here.

I want to threesome with people who are
supposed to look alive.

Get off the set.

Get off the set now!

For God's sake, Sid, will you relax?

You know, your job is to shut up and
make it look real. That's your only job.

I don't have enough to deal with. Now I
have girls who are so whacked out they

can't even see.

Are you okay?

This is great. Florence Nightingale.

You, take her. Take her home.

I don't want another line snorted till
we finish this picture. Is that

understood?

Joe's on his way back.

He went to a customer's house.

Tell me.

We saw her.

In New York.

Does she have a history of drug use?

No.

No, she never used it.

Well, why didn't you bring her back?

It was too dangerous.

Look, she was on the set of another
film.

We got stuck there four hours. There
were drugs all over the place and guns

protect the drugs.

We couldn't risk her getting caught in a
crossfire.

We know a lot more than we knew
yesterday.

We're going back to New York.

I got an idea of how to get close enough
to take her without putting her in

danger. No, that's not it.

Look, I didn't say anything when Joe was
here. I didn't want to hurt him.

But she wanted to take those pictures at
Delaney's.

I mean, we had a big fight about it, but
she... I mean, you can't talk to her.

Then you knew about the video, too.

I mean, she said that she didn't care if
Joe and Connie found out.

I mean, she even said she hated them.

You know, I mean, they've been better to
me than my own parents.

You know, so I didn't want to say
anything.

I'm sorry if I did the wrong thing.

I'm sorry.

You didn't want to hurt the people that
were good to you.

That can never be wrong.

swing by the office and grab those
pictures of the girls and then come by

house and pick me up.

Earth to Paulie.

Ah, it's just... So much for the
innocence of you.

Hey, are you all right to do this?

Because if it's too much for you to
handle, tell me now.

I'm all right.

Look, we're going to take Lisa out of
that world no matter how she got there.

How? By getting into it ourselves.

Mrs. Lou Ippolito, I'm very sorry to
inform you that your husband was killed

an automobile accident.

He just bought you these when you got
hit by a car.

For Gail, the love of my life.

Lou.

Can we get you some water?

Tell my mother.

I'm sorry, but your Lou died.

Thank God! Our prince has been answered
at last!

The prince is dead!

He's dead!

Oh, mother!

Oh, thank you. Thank you, officer, very
much. Thank you, thank you. Thank you so

much.

not Gail.

Doug told you that this whole thing was
Lisa's idea.

It's hard to believe we could have been
so wrong about her.

We're not wrong.

How do you know?

For the same reason you know.

How many years did she spend every
Saturday night right here in this house

babysitting David?

I... We know her. She's almost as much a
daughter to us as... She's not our

daughter, Tony.

Our daughter's right here.

But there you go.

Anthony Stevens of Tenafly, New Jersey.

Right back into the slime and sleaze you
wanted more than anything to get away

from. Rachel. You said it yourself,
Tony.

There are dangerous people in that
business.

It's not that I don't care about Lisa.

I do.

But I care more about you than us.

You're in the middle of all this, and we
have a baby on the way.

Maybe that's why I'm doing this.

I keep thinking about this little baby
girl that's going to be born, this gift

from God.

Lisa was Joe and Connie's gift.

They're good people, just like us.

They're good parents, just like us.

All they wanted was the best for their
daughter, just like us.

And we'd be interested in investing as
much as $100 ,000 in your project.

That's assuming that we felt they stood
a chance of making return.

Also, we have some talent we'd like to
bring to your attention.

Oh, have you ever invested in adult
films before?

No. Why not?

It'll raise on T -bill's stake.

You could buy houses.

We own some, Miss Palmer.

Oh, good.

And houses and mini -malls.

don't bring the same fringe benefits, if
you know what I mean.

You've probably been told that if you
can't make money in adult films, you're

either stupid or dead.

That's a lie.

There's any number of ways to lose.

We came here because you and Shangri -La
have a winner's reputation.

Maybe we could get into bed together.

You do realize, Mr. Stevens, that I'll
have to check out your background?

My life's an open book.

And it's Tony.

Well, Tony.

We're having a wrap party tonight.

For Felicia on fire, as potential
investors, you might find it

There'll be some talent there as well.

Eight o 'clock?

Upstairs in the production facility.

We'd love to.

Thanks.

Oh, and there's a girl in your bedroom
fantasies video.

Lisa. Lisa.

Any chance she could be there?

Chance.

What's wrong with this picture?

We're in it.

Let's work the room.

Hi. Hi. My name's Melinda Bottoms. Maybe
you saw me in Sperminator 3.

Uh, yeah.

Yeah, didn't you see her in... You were
great. Really great.

Thank you. It was my first speaking
role.

See ya.

Hi. My name's Melinda Bottoms. Maybe you
saw me in Sperminator 3.

Hey, Pitt.

There's the girl that tried to help
Lisa.

Let's pretend we're fans.

Fans? We don't even know her name.

Can I have your autograph?

Thanks,

Tammy. I appreciate it.

So, uh, who are you guys?

I mean, uh, what do you do?

We're the bank.

Yeah?

I've been thinking about going into
business for myself.

I'm tired of making money for Van Spike.

Ozzy Van Spike?

You guys haven't done your homework.

Ozzy Van Spike owns everything you see.

And damn near everyone.

He's made millions off of me.

How much does this Sid Palmer own?

She just works for him. You ever see
Secret Productions?

Biggest video he ever did with me.

Only I shouldn't have done it.

How old were you?

Fifteen and a half.

I could hurt him.

I could hurt Ozzy so bad he'd have to
take seductions off the shelf.

And three others.

But I can't.

No one would pay to see me if I was...
Well, if I didn't look this good.

And I like having two of everything I'm
supposed to have two of.

There's a girl we saw in Bedroom
Fantasies.

Lisa? Maybe if we get into business
together, she can be your co -star. We

hoping to see her here.

Yeah, everyone's looking for her.

Who's everyone?

Vance, Mike.

He wants her to be his next star.

To replace me.

Oh, we can't have that now.

You wouldn't happen to know... Having
fun, people?

Still trying to draw a partner?

Come on, I want to show you something.

Best profit ratio in the business.

Amateur video.

Usually boyfriends or husbands take
them. What we like, we string together

a film.

This is the second one we produced.

Our first, Bedroom Fantasy's come true.

Total production cost under $50 ,000.

Grossed $3 .5 million so far.

Hey, Pauly, look at that thing on the
wall.

That's in Lisa's video also.

Amateur videos taken by husbands or
boyfriends.

Doug Cassidy. Oh, my God, Pauly, you
don't think that that kid could have...

That's what the corporate did.

If he makes us, we never get to Lisa.

Morning, Doug.

Morning. Well, what the... Let me go.

Where's Lisa?

I don't know. You made the tape, Doug.
The tape of you and her that started

whole thing.

going face to face with a sister, my
friend, but not until you go face to

with someone you betrayed.

Come here.

I told her the tapes were, you know,
just for fun, for us just to have.

And Neil Delaney told me these places
you can send them to. You brought her to

Delaney in the first place to have her
pictures taken. It wasn't her idea.

Everything you told us was a lie.

I brought her down to New York and we
met Ozzy Van Spike.

He said we were going to make a lot of
money.

Lisa loved you.

I know. She loved you and you pimped her
out.

Then you did it again with the brunette.

Get him out of my sight.

You're in this room, Tony.

Find it, Joe.

The thing of it is, I really think this
Lisa McKellar could be a star.

I know Ozzy Van Spike thinks so, too.

Ozzy Van Spike is no concern of yours.

It's just that I know quality when I see
it. And I'd like to see it for myself,

personally.

You think you could arrange it?

I'm not sure.

Consider this.

$200 ,000.

That's enough to bankroll your operation
for a year.

That should pay for a little personal
service, too, don't you think?

Let me at the bar by the studio at 11.

She'll be there? You be there.

I will.

Good. Good.

Boom.

I'll be in that gin mill next to the
studio. You got yourself a listening

Hotel, two doors down.

I hear the word from you, I'm on my way.

Testing one, two.

My master's voice.

It was the best part.

Why?

Where's Lisa?

Business before pleasure.

What? Let's go talk.

You said something about bringing her
here.

You said something about 200 grand.

Let's talk about that first.

Where are we going?

Here's somewhere we'll all feel safe.

Tony Stevens, this is Audrey Van Spijn.

What's your pleasure, Tony?

I was interested in your offer of $200
,000.

Yeah. Well, I mean, I wasn't knocked
out, eh?

But I was interested.

That's the first step.

Yeah.

Sid tells me you're so particularly
interested in a young girl who appeared

one of our films.

Well, I think she could have a future.

Oh, come on, Tony. You want to make it
with her, don't you?

Sid told me she'd be here.

You know where she is?

It's a big town, isn't it?

Yeah. She could be almost anywhere.

Dan auditioning for one of those off
-off -off Broadway plays.

Well, they all think they're serious
actresses, don't they?

Oh.

He can take me anywhere.

Well, get him something.

OK, here's the deal.

Your 200 buys you a 15 % slice of four
films.

15 % and that's a bit... I can cost no
money.

Your returns are paid on a quarterly
basis.

Through Shangri -La productions.

There are no advances on the net.

So don't ask.

What about the law?

Well, I think everyone should obey it.

I mean, I have a family.

Oh, yeah. The wife and kids in Tenafly.

Look, don't worry.

I'll cut your checks to any corporate
dodge you want.

Not like I ain't done it before.

I've got to keep the old image up.

You all right?

Oh, it's just the olives.

And now you've never been busted.

Busted? For what?

These guys from the suburbs.

Here, did we burn out a fuse?

No, sir, but I do smell something
burning.

Yeah, don't you?

How do you mention it?

The whole underage thing, you know.

That's the thing that can really catch
on. Tony, I have never used a minor in a

film. And if anyone tells you otherwise,
they're trying to set me up for

extortion, aren't they?

Where the hell is that smell coming
from?

I thought I smelled bacon frying.

Otto, I give you a little
responsibility, and this is what I get.

What do I need you for?

I didn't know we were... You're supposed
to bring me opportunities, dear.

Instead, you bring me nothing but
problems.

I'll take care of it, Ozzie. I'll make
this problem go away.

It'll be like he was never here.

Yeah, that would be good, wouldn't it?

That would be very good.

Someone back there is trying to crash
our party.

Hey, Mike, you're on the clock here.

How about it?

Heathbridge officer in pursuit.

White limo.

New York Vanity Plate. Paul. Ocean Paul.

Sam Henry Cobb. It's a 10 -13.

hell are they?

Tony, you all right?

Tony! Tony?

Nah.

I'm afraid you've made a very... very
serious mistake, mate.

You see, my name's Ozzy. Yeah.

And I'm the only one here.

You are seriously violating my civil
rights.

I'm expressing my uncivil rights. Do you
tell me what you did with my partner?

To your partner.
