"Can I get you something from the bar?" "No thanks, I'm" "Of course, it's not my bar." "But I could tell their bartender what you'd like..." " Corey..." " Small world, huh?" "Okay." "I heard you hung out here..." "And I was hoping to run into you." "Why?" "Well, y'know..." "last time I saw you..." "Wasn't the best of circumstances." "I wasn't really myself." "What with being kidnapped and brutalized by a deranged former child star and his homicidal girlfriend." "Right." " So... are you waiting for someone?" " No." "I'm just... working." "Close enough to an invitation for me." "I'm assuming these are not vacation snapshots." "Because if they are, you had a crappy vacation." " It's work." " And that doesn't bother you?" "Looking at stuff like that when you're eating?" "Because me..." "I get queasy when the table wobbles." "It used to get to me." "But I worked at it." "Kind of like a... project." "If I want a project?" "I paint." "So, listen." "Uh-oh." "Here it comes." "You were right." "Before." "What you said." "My life..." "It's not a world you should venture into." "Yeah." "I got that." "So... why don't you venture into mine?" "I'm with some friends over there." "We're just hanging." "Having a few drinks." "It's real casual." "Come join us." " I don't think so." " Why not?" "I've never been good at..." "I can't just... hang." "It's not as difficult as it looks." "I know it's none of my business." "But you shouldn't wait to live your life." "Hell, especially in your line of work." "C'mon." "You were a kid once, right?" "Don't you remember what it's like to have fun?" "Okay, guys, let's settle down." "Who wants to watch "Microzoids"?" " Ted!" "Ted, where's the movie?" " Right here." "Hang on." "Okay, I need everybody sitting down on the floor before we start." "And no talking" "I get to sit on the couch 'cause I'm the birthday boy." "Whatever, honey." "And afterwards we'll open the presents." "Okay?" "I'm gonna go upstairs and watch the game." "Lemme know when it's stopped." "Oh my God!" "It's porn!" " Turn it off, Susan " " I'm trying." "Cover your eyes, Ashton, don't look." "No." "Off." "Susan, gimme the remote." "Get these guys out of here." "C'mon, everybody." "Don't look..." "We'll fix it." "What the hell is he doing?" "Oh my God..." "Ted." "Shut it off." "Shut it off!" "Episode 12 GEM" "Subtitles:" "Nathbot" "It's obviously little budget." "Couldn't she at least pretend she was scared?" "Come on, baby." "Show a little life." "He kill her already and I just miss it?" "It is kind of the "Gigli" of snuff films." "Except those two have more chemistry than Ben and J-Lo." " It's not real." " You're sure of that, are you?" "Come on, boss." "These things never are." "So they're always fake?" "Even the famous Japanese ones that everybody got so worked up about." "Even they were fakes." "Did you see the latest be-headings from Baghdad?" "You know how many hits they get worldwide?" " That's different." " Why?" " Those aren't whack material." " It's real, Danny." "So is she." " She's real..." " She's an actress." "That's what we're gonna find out." "I want to know how this thing got to an eight year old's birthday party." "Mel and Danny, trace it back to the factory if you have to." "Rebecca and Paul, find out who she is." "I can tell you that." "I put her face on the wire." "Got a hit back almost right away." "Angelica Sandavol." "Age 18." "Reported missing 3 months ago." "Start with who filed the report." "Do you have those two files with you?" "Arlen Dallas..." "Developer." "Listed Fortune 500." "He's got interest in half the San Fernando Valley." "Widower." "Three grown children." "None of them named Angelica." " Arlen Dallas." " Special Agent Paul Ryan." "This is Special Agent Rebecca Locke." "Mr. Dallas, we have what might be bad news." "Did you file a missing persons report on an Angelica Sandavol?" " She's dead isn't she?" " We're not prepared to say that." "I don't understand..." "What was your relationship to Angelica?" "Her mother, Maria Sandavol, works for me." "Here, at my house." " She's a maid?" " Housekeeper." "Yes." "But you're the one who filed the missing persons report." "My name sometimes encourages results." "Maria was afraid to go to the authorities." "She's... undocumented." "I trust you're not here to do the INS's work for them?" "No." "Not interested." "Mr Dallas, I'm gonna show you a photograph." "Is this Angelica?" "Yes." "My god." "What is this?" "What happened to her?" "That's what we're trying to find out." "You'll get my full cooperation." "Whatever you need." "Can you tell us, was Angelica at all involved in pornography?" "Porn?" "Hell, no." "We do "R" rated titles." "And sometimes a odd disk'll get mixed into a run... but not porn." "We traced the lot number on this particular DVD to this factory." "It was shipped out of here." " Damn him..." "Damn him!" " Who?" "Gus!" "Hey, Gus!" "Get your crack over here!" "Now!" "Gus Federman." "He's the one you wanna talk to." "What's going on?" "I'll let these agents from the F.B.I. tell you." "Mr. Federman..." "I'm Special Agent Sim, this is Special Agent Love." ""Special Agent Love?"" "That's awesome." "Sounds like one of those..." "I didn't do anything." "Wanna explain how an underground porno film was packaged at this plant?" "Oh, man." "You're kidding." "I look like I'm kidding?" "You know this girl?" "No..." "Jeez..." "Is that real?" " What do you think?" " I don't know." "Look, I swear..." "I don't watch these things." "I got some relationships with these underground producers," "I just run dubs after hours." "That's all." "These producers." "You got any names?" "Contacts?" " Yeah." "Lots of 'em." " Why don't you make us a list?" "Okay." "She's my daughter!" "She doesn't recognize it, either." "Agent Ryan, she wants to see the film." "What?" "It's out of the question." "And also a really bad idea." "Of course, I understand." "Are we sure this is her room?" "Yeah." "She lived here with the mother." "Why?" "The thing about her room was there were no posters on the walls," "No magazines on the bed." "No family photos." "A few items of clothing in the closet." "A hotel Bible." "A toothbrush." "The mother insists Angelica didn't run away, she didn't take her stuff." "But there wasn't any stuff, really." "It's like, whatever personality she had didn't imprint itself." "And Dallas says she's lived there her whole life?" "Since she was a baby." "Some people walk lightly, tend not to leave footprints." "It's more than that." "We have to find out who this woman is." "How we die sometimes says more about us than how we lived." "We have what may be the last moments of this young girl's life." "Let's start there." "Look. 'Cause I gotta ask somebody." "That zombie look familiar to anybody else?" "Could be I've just been staring it for five hours." "Look." "I checked with costume shops, novelty houses, it's not a commercial mask." "So the killer couldn't have walked into a store and bought..." "Wait." "The killer?" "So this is legit?" "Too early to tell." "Either the camera work is really bad... or really good." "Check this out." "The killer brings up the knife... then the cameraman zooms in for the money shot..." "The image goes out of focus for 18 frames... then finds its focus once the shot lands " "But auto-focus home video cameras do that in low light." "True." "Even though it looks like continuous action, a cut could be hidden in the out-of-focus part." "So what, this is a fake?" "I don't know, that's not what I'm saying." "I'm still digging." "But I found this." "It's a tattoo." "It starts at the lower back." "I don't care to figure out how far it goes down." "Rewind it." "Before the murder." "She's not fighting." "Maybe because she knows it's not real." "You see something else?" "That's just it." "I don't see anything." "Not a thing." "Keep digging." " How many more after this one?" " Four more." " Does the guy live with a fraternity?" " By himself." "Robert "Buster" Woods." "His family comes from old Hollywood money." "Parents kicked, Robert got the house." "Not the gardener." "DVD boy's done at least 3 bootleg runs for him in the last six weeks." "Which would fall into our time line." "Robert Woods?" "FBI." "You think someone called him?" "Told him to expect us?" "He did, someone's gonna be sorry." "Danny?" "Door's been jimmied." "I'd hate to think Mr. Woods' property be at risk from intruders." "Perhaps we should intrude." "Civically." "Oh!" "Smell that?" "I don't think Mr. Woods has been taking out his garbage..." "Robert Woods?" "FBI." "You think this one's on film?" "I don't even care if you've used it." "I'll call it in." "This is Mel." "Yeah." "I think we found something, too." "Really?" "Hold on a second." "Check his butt." " What?" " Check his butt." "Just lift his shirt." "Yeah, lower back tattoo." "Your zombie's dead" "We got ourselves a movie star." "Who would commit a real murder to cover up a fake one?" "Maybe the first one's not so fake after all." "Could be." "Oh, bag him." "Man, this guy stinks." "I don't think he was too minty when he was alive." "But he didn't have bugs in his gaping neck wound." "The truth is we don't know anything about this guy." "I wanna know everything by day's end." "You mean we have to spend more time here?" "As long as it takes." "We can't just "Google" him?" "Danny?" "A word." "Rebecca sure knows which crime scenes to miss, doesn't she?" "My bet is, even with the smell, she'd rather be here." "And then she'd probably do that freaky thing where she starts talking like the victim and solves the whole case." "What's the fun in that for us?" "She's dead." "You seeing something I don't?" "'Cause I still can't promise you it's not a fake." "No." "I don't mean the murder." "Maybe it's real, maybe it isn't." "But before that." "She was already dead." "What happened to you?" "What did they do to you?" "It didn't all happen at once..." "Carter?" "The Braunstein case." "How long was he in hiding for ?" "And you took the last photo of him and aged it." "The result was a near perfect match to the way he looked when they found him." "No... perfect match, actually." "Can you do it for me?" "Don't recommend it." "Did it for Mel, she was depressed for a month." "Not on me." "For me." "I want you to do it to her." "You want to look into Angelica's future?" "The girl in this video doesn't have a future." "I want to see into her past..." "Out of the vehicle." "Alright, easy." "What're you doing, huh?" "Gun." " I got a permit for that!" " Yeah?" "Lawrence Keys." "P.I. license." "He's a private dick." "That's what I'm sayin'." "I'm workin' here." "I'm on a job." "Working for who?" "I'd tell you, but I'm afraid professional ethics keep me" "Arlen Dallas!" "I'm working for Arlen Dallas!" "That's good, Carter." "That's really good." "Just one more thing..." "Could you make her smile?" "Yes." "I hired a private investigator." "Is that a crime?" "We're just curious why you didn't mention it before." "Frankly, it didn't occur to me." "I hired Mr. Keys once I realized the police wouldn't be making a missing brown skinned girl a priority." "Mr. Keys was hired two weeks before you declared the girl missing." "Yes." "Understand:" "a man in my position always tries to handle these things without involving the authorities -- if he can." "Particularly if he feels threatened." "When were you first contacted?" "I'm sorry?" "When my agents came to see you... that wasn't the first time you'd seen that so-called snuff film, was it?" "That's why your first reaction was that Angelica was dead." "When Angelica went missing, I assumed she was taken." "Her mother was right when she said Angelica would never have run away." "I kept waiting for the follow up, the shake down." "But it never came." "So you believed Angelica was taken to blackmail you." "Until someone e-mailed me a clip from the film." "We tried tracing it back to the sender, but it lead to a dead end." "Mr. Dallas, you have three children of your own." "Why would someone target the daughter of one of your maids instead of them?" "Unless they did target one of children... by taking Angelica." "I'm sorry, I should have told you." "I didn't want to humiliate Maria." "When she first came to work here, my wife was still living." "Our affair was brief." "A child was the result." "I've taken care of them both ever since." "By sticking them in the servants quarters?" "I bet your other 3 kids didn't grow up there." "I loved Angelica." "She wasn't a servant here." "She played with my other children, I helped raise her." "I put aside money for her college education." "She's in my will." "I can check the paperwork, but everything's in storage while I move my office out here." "That won't be necessary." "But we will need the names of everyone who might have been privy to your secret." "Of course." "Anything." "So the siblings knew." "That might be a good place to start." "Particularly if they knew she was named alongside them in the will." "Dallas claims they don't." " Dallas claims a lot of stuff." " Guys." "Better come see this." "What's going on?" "There's a reason she didn't leave behind any trace of who she was..." "She wasn't anybody." "What are you talking about?" "I believe Angelica Sandavol never had a chance to develop a personality." "Because she's been treated as an object her entire life." "I did what you asked." "Went back to her final moments." "She didn't struggle." "Didn't fight." "And this..." "The fact that she was being photographed." "It meant nothing to her." "Because she was used to it." "To the cameras." "I had Carter take an image of her, age her down." "To see what she would look like at 14..." "Did you get a hit?" "We got hundreds." "Hundreds?" "This still image is from a film seized by the FBI in a child pornography raid." "The girl in it was never identified." "We believe it was Angelica Sandavol at about age 14." "At age 11..." "Age eight..." "At six years old." "I think Angelica knew exactly what was going to happen to her in this last film." "I think she knew her throat would be cut..." "And I think she didn't care." "Mr. Dallas, thanks for coming in." "This is Amy Sanet, and Marshall Green, of Sanet, Shyer, and Stern." "They represent me." "I'm sorry, did I give you the impression over the phone that you were being charged with a crime?" "Let's just say I've found it usually saves time to bring a couple lawyers with me whenever I visit a government building." "Especially when I'm not told why I should be making the visit." "I'd like you to meet Special Agent Randall Day." "He's been looking for your daughter for the last seven years." "We first came across this material as a result of a raid on the "Wonderland Club", a worldwide child pornography ring based in San Jose." "These videos were part of a series set in this room." "They even had a title:" ""Little Gem."" "At first, we thought we were looking at several different girls." "Then we realized it was the same girl, maturing over two year periods." "This is her at ten." "In the child pornography world, Little Gem is she's something of a star." "Their Shirley Temple, if you will." "Let's take this off, Little Gem..." "How long have you had this?" "We have a program called Innocent Images... it's a nationwide initiative." "We selected still frames of the girl at various ages and fed them into our database in Maryland." "Law enforcement everywhere has access to it." "For seven years, we heard nothing..." "Until they got a call from us." "Yesterday." "Her assailant is always the same in every video." "Young Caucasian male... we've never been able to identify, on account of the..." "His name is Jason." " He's my son." " Arlen..." "Shut up, Amy." "You knew about this?" "Of course not." "Not this." "Though when Angelica went missing," "I assumed Jason was somehow involved." "Which is why I hired a private investigator." "Jason is troubled." "After his mother died, we grew apart." "He began to run around with a group of friends I didn't approve of." "When he found out about Angelica, that she was my..." "He was upset." "But with me, not with her." "He was always kind to Angelica." "More than kind." "He treated her like she was..." "Oh My God..." "Where is your son, Mr. Dallas?" "I threw him out of the house six months ago." "I haven't heard from him since March." "I don't know where he's staying..." "The room in the video, do you know where that is?" "No." "It's not in your house?" "I've never seen it before." "You can come and search the grounds if you like." "We might." "Would we find your son there?" "No." "I swear it." "Anything that I can do to help you find him..." "I'll do it." "Anything you need." "I'm done protecting him." "Jason Dallas, attempted rape in '95, assault and battery in '96, vandalism, disturbing the peace... every charge either buried or... turned into a slap on the wrist thanks to daddy's influence." "Wonder what else he owes to daddy?" "You didn't buy his story?" "Thanks." "Just forward the digital to Maryland." "If it matches any kiddie crime, I'll let you know." " Sure thing, babe." " Thanks, Randall." "Thank you." "And thanks for Gus Federman." "He'd turned that DVD pressing plant into a major distribution point for this stuff." "So..." "If anything good happens out of this, it's shutting him down." "So... we start digging on Jason Dallas." "Think I know where we can get some dirt for free..." "For free?" "Hell with that." "That's gonna cost you." "My work was contracted for Arlen Dallas, not Uncle Sam." "Why don't you be a nice guy and tell me anyway." "I can be a nice guy." "For 150 bucks an hour." "I can be not so nice for a lot less." "And your size does intimidate." "But I'm not some quivering little witness that doesn't know their rights." "My information is my livelihood, and I sell to guys like you all the time." "So, you wanna talk to me?" "You can either show me a court order or Ben Franklin." " This guy thinks he's in a movie." " These guys always do." "I know the government's cheap, so maybe all you can pay is your informant rate." "We can work something out..." "Work this out." "You weren't paid to find Angelica Sandoval." "But to find Jason Dallas." "Because the second the old man heard his daughter was slaughtered he knew his son was behind it." "You found Robert Wood before we did and instead of calling the cops, you called Dallas to see how he wanted to handle it." "I'm guessing he said quietly." "You work out a bonus to bump Jason when you found him?" " Hey." "I don't do that..." " Really?" "'Cause my friends behind the glass got a bet you're the one offed Woods..." " ...on Dallas's order." " Hell no!" "That corpse was rotting when I found it." "You ask me, it was Jason Dallas did it." "You ask me, you just admitted you discovered a murder and failed to report it." "So what do we got?" "Failure to report." "Obstruction of justice." "Lying to me." "You're wrong, Keys." "This is gonna cost you." "Alright, fine." "Fine." "What do you wanna know?" "I was tracking the kid's circle of friends." "He's a freak." "Hung out with freaks." " Did freak activities." " Like?" "For one, he was into horror films." "And by into I mean 400 plus DVD collection." "All real B to Z-grade gore stuff, zombie films, slasher films, gross out films..." "Oh, now..." "Wait a minute..." "There's a whole subculture dedicated to that stuff." "I started there." "These people, they listen to the same music, go to the same chat rooms, same clubs, same conventions..." "I want your notes." "Everything you got on Jason's friends, places he liked to go." "You're welcome to all of it." "But I couldn't find him." "Well let's hope you got close." "Hey." "We got everything Keys had on Jason Dallas." "He's been looking for him for at least a month and a half." "'bout around the time Dallas started receiving his mysterious e-mails." "Nothing here about Angelica." " No one was ever looking for her." " Dallas did report her missing." "Probably only after he thought she was dead." " To cover his tracks." " Or his son's." "Where to start?" "Freak had a lot of friends." "Just the opposite of Angelica." "Her abuser had a full life and a secret one." "She had nothing." " This is Rebecca." " It's me, Corey." "Corey?" "See if you can make sense of this." "Hopefully Lawrence Keys' footwork gets us a step closer." "I know, it's a bad time." "I'll make this quick." "I just wanted to see if we could schedule a good time for the near future." "A good time?" "I kinda did a sneak attack on you the other day, showing up with my friends like that." "Sorry." "This is what I should've done." "Just call you and ask you out directly." "You don't have to answer right now." "I know you're busy." "I'll be at Dugan's, same night, same time." "And it'll just be me." "If I see you there, cool." "If not..." "Okay." "Guys?" "Got something you might wanna see." "What is this?" ""Dia de los Muertos." "All Soul's Day."" "A low budget zombie flick." "It's actually pretty good." "Not that I've seen it more than 2 or 3 times." "Anyway..." "Something Keys said." "Jason Dallas loves gorey flicks." "So downloaded this from the web." "What are we looking for?" "That." " Oh my god." " That's the face." "Zombie Number Five." "At least that's what the credits say." "I knew I'd seen that zombie before." " Who is he?" " That's the wrong question." "You could make anyone look like that..." "Who did the make-up?" ""Almost Human." Special make up FX." "Shop's run by a guy named Rob Hall." "Went to art school with Jason Dallas." "Keys talked to him about three weeks ago." "Hall's in Amsterdam doing some kind of a movie." "There's a car out front." "Maybe he got back early?" " We'll cover the back." " All right." "Jason?" "Dammit." "Hey, Jason, listen." "We just wanna talk!" "We've got probable POS'd." "Jason Dallas!" "Federal Agents!" "What are you looking at?" "The bed from the snuff film." "This must be where they filmed it." "Jason, you're gonna want to come out." "We're armed" "Angelica...?" "It's okay..." "You're safe." "She's mine." "Paul." " I'm okay." " Let her go!" "I can't do that!" "Just leave us alone!" "Jason Dallas." "He's got the girl." "She's alive." "Go." "Call the EMTs." "Stay with him." "Go, go!" "Jason..." "She's not going back!" "You're not taking her." "You don't want to point that gun at me." "No?" "Well, who then?" "How about the one who abused her in all those films?" "Violated her for years..." "The brother that raped her." "I took care of her." "I was protecting her." "Look at her, Jason." "Does she look like a person that was taken care of?" "Don't say that." "Don't you say that!" " I love her." " You shot an FBI agent." " You killed Robert Woods." " I had to..." "He was gonna talk..." "He wanted money." "He was gonna tell dad." "I couldn't let-- You stay back!" " Stay back." " It's all over, Jason." "There's no place to run." "I promised her." "I would never leave her alone." "Never again..." "I'm sorry, little girl." "Jason, no!" "It's okay." "I'm telling you, I'm okay." "The bullet went right through." "Still going to the hospital, tough guy." "It can wait." "No, it can't." "You're done here." ""Thanks for taking a bullet, Paul." "Nice job." "I'm so proud of you all."" "Look." "If you're a good boy at the doctor's, I'll buy you an ice cream cone." "He was obsessed with his sister." "For most of their lives." "When dad cut him off, he faked her death to make her disappear..." "She's been hidden away in here for months." "He wanted to keep her all to himself." "Angelica..." "I'm very sorry about your brother." "He always took good care of you." "He saved me." "Oh, my baby..." "Maria, what is it?" "My God, she's alive." "Angelica..." "Sweetheart..." "What?" "Mr. Dallas..." "I have some tragic news for you." "Your son Jason was killed." "I see." "I assume it was unavoidable." "It was unavoidable." "The tragedy is..." "I haven't yet figured out how to charge you in his death." "I beg your pardon?" "Let's go discuss it in your new office." "My office?" "It's still being renovated." "I don't mind." "Look, I don't know what this is all about..." "Yes, you do, Mr. Dallas." "Angelica told me everything." "How you sexually abused your son at an early age... forced him to be with her." "His half-sister." "She's lying." "She's trying to cover for her brother." "She told me how you made her a star in the kiddie porn world." "How you took the pictures." "Stop!" "It's my property!" "You can't do that, that's my..." "I got enough reasons already." "Don't give me another." "You invited me to search the grounds, I'm taking you up on it." "I've changed my mind." "I thought you might." "Warrant." "Don't move." "You shouldn't have remodeled this place." "You should have burned it down." "You're under arrest." "Long day." "They all seem long." "It's the depravity." "Yeah, I guess." "There were nine children living on the grounds of that estate." "Wonder how many he would've gotten to." "We can't know that for sure." "Some." "He really loved her." "Jason, I mean." "In his twisted way." "Faked her death to save her." "There was no saving." "He got her out of one cage only to lock her in a another." "Maybe now she has a chance." "Maybe." "Although I think that what happened to that little girl will stay with her her whole life." "I think she'll always be locked in a dark room." "And anybody who cares enough about her to try and rescue her... may find themselves trapped in there with her." "I think you're wrong." "She can survive this." "I know." "I got out of that room." "I wasn't talking about you." "Was I?"
