Woman: Leave him alone! Let go of him! Keep your hands off of me! I know my rights! Get in there.
Keep away from me! Get out of here! You know who this is? Mnh-mnh.
Lacey king.
She's a big porno star.
Made about 70 pictures.
Get up, sweetheart.
Remember that time barton got married? The movie they showed Susan sails the seven seas? Remember that guy from the coast guard? This little cutie was the star.
You've looked better, Lacey.
You remember who I am? Yeah.
Fuller, right? Big-time pornographer turned out to be a cop.
So what? We beat all those busts.
You don't look like you're beating much today.
What do you want? You used to make two, three grand a film.
Then what? 500? Then 50.
Then fluffer.
How old are you, Lacey? I'm legal.
By a couple of months, maybe.
What's the point? The point is you've been working since you were 15.
14.
I look old for my age.
You said it.
Who started you out, Lacey? Come on, Fuller.
Give me a break with all this, okay? I had a hard night.
It's been a hard couple of months.
Busted three times.
Once for prostitution.
Twice for smoking crack.
What's upriver for you, Lacey? What happened to that big feature movie you were going to make? My agent couldn't close the deal.
I wanted a motor home and a driver.
He wanted me to date the national guard.
How long have you been smoking crack? Long enough.
Think anyone out there has a brush? I want the guy who started you.
So do I, but he doesn't return my calls.
He'll return mine.
I want this guy.
You tell me who he is, I'll let you walk on the coke beef.
You can't do that, Fuller.
Anyway, you wouldn't even believe me.
Try me.
How did it happen? How did the famous Lacey king get started? Announcer: You like this? You're supposed to like this.
While you're getting off on this, remember two things.
All these fashions are from shops right here in the mall.
And this is just one of a series of shows that you can be a part of.
You can sign up for auditions for the teen scene school of modeling over there.
Girls, you might want to hang on to your boyfriends right around now.
This is a little more expensive than most of the pieces in the mall.
But, uh, maybe you can get your moms to spring for it.
And, guys, I know You're wishing you could afford it, too.
Trust me.
You can't.
No, frank.
No way.
Forget the bleachers.
You get us down behind first base.
Field level.
Push down that list of yours till you come to a row with a single-digit number.
Yeah.
He is a special out-of-town guest.
He's my son.
Okay, frank.
Thanks.
You have a son? Yeah.
What did you learn at the fashion show? Do you have any pictures? Can we stick to the business here? Okay.
I mean, it's just that We didn't even know you were married.
I'm not.
Is he? He's too young for you, hoffs.
Hey, I'm still in high school.
Mm.
He is fine.
You sure he's yours? Hey, don't push it, hoffs.
I divorced my wife because she had a sense of humor.
You really have a kid? Yes, ioki.
It can happen.
Two people meet.
They fall in love.
They fight.
They, uh, meet somebody else.
They split up.
Such a romantic.
He is a good-looking kid, huh? Yeah.
Takes after his mother.
What's his name? Kip.
Short for kipling.
I wanted to name him Hank After Aaron.
But the wife, she, uh, she had this thing for poets.
Wait till you meet this kid.
He's president of the student council.
Heck of a curveball.
I'm gonna pick him up this afternoon.
We're gonna What am I telling you guys this for? The fashion show, guys.
Oh.
The fashion show.
It was, uh It was, uh, very educational.
You want us all to audition? Lacey claims this guy who runs the fashion school Mike Ferris Was the one who started her in the porn business.
If this guy's still active, I want to know.
I want him put away.
Are you sure about this information? I spent 18 months undercover in the porn industry, hanson.
It was the most depressing point in my life.
You're trusting some cokehead they found in a rock house? She'd do anything to get on the street.
You may be right.
Look at this.
These kids take it so seriously.
New shirt, Harry? This old thing? The trick is look natural.
You have your numbers.
Go over to the side.
We'll be right with you.
Hi.
Take a number.
Giordi will take your picture.
I'll tell you what to do afterwards.
I haven't had my picture taken.
Congratulations on being chosen.
It was a hard call.
Nikki: Modeling classes start Saturday so they won't conflict with your schoolwork.
The first two classes are free.
Those of you who decide to enroll will be eligible for the fashion shows we do at local malls.
This could be the boost that you need to start a modeling career.
Who knows? You could be standing next to the next superstar.
Or the next star could be you.
You know, it's almost as if I've seen you in print before.
It's not that your look isn't entirely you.
It's that it is so entirely you.
You have something as unique as a lot of the girls that are working all the time.
But they're all models.
They're special.
No, no, that's not how it works, Judy.
They were girls just like you.
And they started at your school? I mean, look at this great hair And those eyes.
You know, I always dreamed about this but I never thought it could come true.
Yeah.
Well, maybe it will someday.
You never know.
Hey, girls.
We're going to stop by the coffee shop.
Why don't you come along? Can we? I'll see you in class, okay? Okay.
Really great work.
You too.
Hoffs: He's preying on insecurities these girls had reinforced by every Elle and vogue they've ever bought.
I used to buy baseball cards.
You tell a girl she's beautiful and then ignore her.
By the time you're finished, she's so unsettled, she doesn't know what to think.
So Fuller's right? The guy's a lowlife whether Fuller's right or not.
Look at this guy.
He becomes a model and gets himself a fashion consultant.
Enjoy it with a friend.
Enjoy it with a friend.
Enjoy it with a friend.
You sure your hair can do that? Loitering, panhandling Then he tries to sell me incense.
No selling.
Giving.
Eleemosynary, the giving of alms.
Enjoy it with a friend.
He's a cop.
He's got no friends.
Enjoy it with a friend.
Name.
Dread Della Della day, mon.
Oh, Doris' son.
Can you believe this? They lost my son.
He didn't get off the plane.
They don't know where he is.
Kip? Dad, mon! Happiness! Some people, they say Too fast, too quick I love you Too soon they say I already love her Some people, they say Ten years in between too far apart But if they Take it easy, dad, mon.
Lay them bones down, eh? You think you can speak English just long enough to tell me what happened to you? It be a blessed thing.
I've embraced the teachings of Marcus garvey.
Uh-huh.
Marcus tell you to wear a tablecloth and knot up your hair? Me locks? They sing commitment, don't they now? Antenna to the lord.
Come on, kip.
You're a bright kid.
How did you get suckered into this stuff? I told you I no longer be going by that name.
If you think I'm going to call you dread della della day, then your antenna needs adjusting.
Look.
Come on.
You have problems, we'll talk them out, huh? I haven't got a problem in the world.
Captain.
Give me a minute.
Kip what happened? I found jah, mon.
One love.
I find a happiness inside.
Penhall, you'll love it.
You'll learn how to walk and smile Makeup tips.
I won't love it.
I'll hate it.
How did it go with Ferris? Penhall and I made it.
He said I had a primitive appeal and that I'll be a big, big star.
That's not funny, penhall.
This guy uses 14-year-olds in pornographic films.
Get me a list of students we can cross-check against vice.
And, hoffs, let Ferris know that I'd do almost anything to become a model.
That's the job.
Look.
I'm just having a little trouble with my kid.
That's okay.
I understand.
Well, I can't.
I barely understand a word he's saying.
Maybe you need a rasta-to-English dictionary.
Kip's only what, 16? Don't tell me it's just a phase, hoffs.
That only works when it's not your son.
I've never seen Fuller lose his cool like that before.
Wait till I turn up on a magazine cover.
Nikki: Make believe it's a real fashion shoot.
We just want to see how you move, how you play off each other.
Okay, Doug.
Bend the arm.
Little more.
Let's go for that total-body profile, okay? Good.
Good.
Nice work.
Nice work.
Okay, guys.
Move in a little tighter.
I want that composition, that ensemble look.
Good, good, good.
Judy, Judy, you are really getting dangerous now.
I love it, though.
That's going to work.
That's good.
Trina, you are going to make it hard to sleep tonight.
Great look.
The secret is creating a smooth, even base.
And remember, a day base is totally different from a night base.
Right.
And always, always use hypoallergenics.
Otherwise Zits.
Zits.
Hey, girls, how's it going? Mike.
I talked to my mom about taking extra movement courses.
She says it's probably worth the money.
Your mother's very smart.
I'm really impressed.
This is the kind of dedication it takes to really get ahead.
Well, my dad's a little worried.
Good fathers are supposed to worry about their kids.
I worry about you guys.
Judy, listen.
I'd like to take your head shots personally.
You're going to need someone with experience to bring out that, uh Electricity in your eyes.
You don't mind? Now, why would I mind? Great.
Great.
Keep up the good work.
You flush my smoke, man? Into my private things you went? No illegal substances in my home, kip Especially for you! But illegal search and seizure is okay in your home? I can't allow ganja in my house.
I am a police captain.
Down to the bone you are! You know I am getting tired of apologizing to you.
I'm still waiting for the right kid to show up.
Where is that happy, good-looking boy I remember? Maybe when you left, I wasn't so happy no more.
Look, kip.
I told you I no longer be going by that name.
Dread Let's keep trying.
Look at this bathing suit.
They went to crete to take this picture.
I think it's mykonos.
Can you imagine living like that? Wearing beautiful clothes and going to exotic places just to be photographed.
It doesn't sound too bad, does it? I would do anything to live like this.
Look at this.
I can't even figure out what they're trying to sell here.
How many people are in the picture? You don't get it, do you? Exposure in a national magazine Who knows where it could lead? What a trip.
If it's in a fashion magazine, it's erotic.
If my brother buys it and hides it under his mattress, it's dirty pictures.
All right.
Don't move.
Terrific.
Terrific.
Don't work so hard, Judy.
Don't try so hard for the camera.
It's just you And me here Alone.
Yeah.
So, um, what do you say, Mike? Should I go for a more sophisticated look? Yeah.
Yeah, that's it.
That's it.
And another.
Yeah.
What's the matter, Mike? It's funny I think you read a little older than I thought you did.
Is that bad? No.
No.
How did we do, guys? These girls check out as legitimate models.
Vice never heard of them.
Hello.
How did the photo session go? Truthfully, I think we're wasting our time and Lacey king gave you a line.
Why? Because Ferris made you feel like a pretty girl with a future? That's what he does, hoffs.
That's the point.
Look, I've been around a bit myself.
I just don't think this is the guy.
Dominique.
What? The girl with the hat on.
Hoffs: You know her? Blowfish: I wish.
That's Dominique.
Dominique's daydream? Come on.
It was a classic! She runs the modeling school with Mike.
She's a porn queen, man.
Nikki? Yeah, Nikki Just a pretty girl who used to have a future, hoffs.
Relax, dad, mon.
It's for eating, not smoking.
Oh.
Everything sure smells Good for me.
Very good for you, dad, mon.
Seaweed, alfalfa shucks Stone-ground in-the-husk barley.
Couldn't you find the bologna in my refrigerator? Carcinogens, red dye number nine.
The poisons of Babylon, dad, mon.
No respect for the soul.
You used to live off of bologna.
You mean I used to die on it.
What are those? Dessert brownies.
I made them myself, enough for everyone.
Yeah.
Excuse me, captain Fuller.
Got a moment for a, uh, private screening? Does the same guy score all these films? What I meant to say, Jude This is the third time you've been to my office.
Your teachers tell me that you're daydreaming in class Not paying attention.
Yes, sir, Mr.
Kay.
Exactly what are you daydreaming about, Dominique? All right, blowfish.
We know it's her.
Shut it off.
Wait.
This is where the home-ec teacher comes in.
Hey, I don't need this! Hoffs, sit down.
What did I say? You guys just don't get it, do you? The copyright on this film is four years old.
She couldn't have been more than 15 when she made this.
Fifteen! Check this store out.
Someday I'll figure out why fall fashions come out in June.
Oh, look at this.
This color would look really good on you.
You don't like green? My older brother Sometimes, he and his friends will, like You know, rent movies? And, uh, one of these One of these movies had you in it.
You were in a movie called Dominique's daydream.
Nikki, don't be mad.
I'm just concerned.
Everybody at the school thinks so much of you.
You can't help wondering where it all leads if that's where you ended up.
I did not end up there.
How old are you, Nikki? Older than you.
Did he make you do it? Nobody made me do anything.
You thought stripping in front of a camera was a great career move? I don't need your lecture.
If you had the same opportunity, you'd do the same thing.
No, I wouldn't.
All of us would.
Once you get to where you want to go, you don't have to do it anymore.
Look, he was starting out.
I was starting out.
Modeling is a tough business.
Yeah, we did some crazy things to pay the rent.
We were partners.
Beautiful.
That look is so special.
That's it.
Fabulous.
Okay, up a little.
Turn out more.
That one.
Let me get that.
That's it.
Turn out.
Out.
Oh, yeah.
Okay, now.
Innocent.
Shy.
Mischievous.
Playful.
Yeah.
Okay.
Now, turn out to me.
Turn out to me.
Very nice.
Now, drop the shoulder.
Another inch.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
That's great.
That's great.
Relax a second.
I'll change cameras.
You're going to like this stuff.
It's, uh It's a good look.
Look is very good.
What? What's wrong? Why is it just good? The look is great, trina.
I mean, you're way ahead of the game.
Look is rock solid.
Probably get some catalog work right away.
Catalog work? You mean like in the Sunday paper? Trina, don't knock it.
Work is work.
Anyway, that's the look you're giving me.
Camera doesn't lie.
We'll run with it, okay? What's the matter? You want me to stop? What what if I wore something else? I don't know.
Everything you brought is the same kind of look.
Relax, trina.
I'm a photographer.
I've done this lots of times.
What's the matter? Nothing.
It it's stuck.
Okay, trina.
Don't worry about a thing.
It's just you And me.
Kip? You home? I hope you don't mind.
I got into your tools.
How was work? You know okay.
What, no music? I didn't think you did anything without your music.
Sometimes I like the quiet.
It's good for thinking.
Sit down, mon.
Dad.
I've been working on this thing for a while.
Helps me relax, gets me away from the job.
But I still never seem to have enough time to finish my weekend projects.
Look, it's not that I'm against what you're doing with your life.
It's just that it's It's so out of the mainstream.
I mean, couldn't you have started out with Christian science? At least Mary Baker eddy spoke English.
I'm sorry.
I guess that really wasn't fair.
Well, is it a rage at school or something? I'm not capable of doing something on my own? That's not it.
You've never been a follower.
Now, all of a sudden you're interested in my life, dad? I'm sorry.
I guess I'm being unfair.
Look, dad.
I'm a long way from being a true rasta.
But what I am really works for me.
You don't have to worry about me running off to go live in the hills of Jamaica.
My grades are okay.
I'm fine.
I really am, dad.
I'm glad.
And I really don't mind the, um, the accent.
It just takes a little getting used to, that's all.
Like my music.
No, no, no, no.
If you really want to know the truth I really kind of like your music.
I mean, it's, uh I kind of like yours, too, dad, mon.
Nikki, forget it.
So she saw a movie.
Half of north America's seen it.
Judy's such a sweetheart, Mike.
I don't know.
It brought her down.
Ferris: If she said she'd keep her mouth shut, then we're fine.
Maybe we should close the school for a while.
We don't need it, right? What are you talking about? The school is important.
If we close it, what will you do? What do you want me to do, Michael? We both feel better after a shoot.
Nikki, listen to me.
The shoot this weekend? I want you to forget about it, okay? That's what I'm saying.
That's what I'm driving at.
Nikki, you know this industry.
You, at 15, were a sensation for me.
But you and I don't define the parameters of this business.
The industry makes its own demands.
We work within those parameters or we don't work at all.
We have no product.
Nikki, you and I are going to be around for a long time.
But what's not fair to you is for you to try and be that 15-year-old kid for the rest of your life.
Okay? Man, used up at 18.
It's a great business, huh? You know any other industry that's grown 600% for seven years straight? Hanson: No wonder.
People watch this stuff at home.
An industry doesn't grow like this without meeting a public demand.
They don't know these kids wind up turned out on the streets.
Or hooked on drugs or tossing themselves off of balconies.
I'm using her hearsay confession to nail down a warrant.
Penhall, put together about a half dozen backup.
The rest of you, get ready.
We'll turn this guy's school upside down.
Let's go do it.
It's an old story, Jude.
Parents get busy, forget to tell their kids how special they are, and we lose them to the first person that does.
Feel better? I don't think I want to do this.
Can I just go home? There's time and money invested, trina.
All these people are here because of you.
But it was just something we were talking about.
Besides, you said I could change my mind.
Who do you think you are? You think you're special? Huh? What makes you so different? You think there's something especially wonderful about you? Do you? No.
Well, there is.
You are special.
And that's why you can't let a chance like this slip away.
I'm just still not sure.
I think we're way beyond that, trina.
Come on.
Woman: No.
Sorry.
He's not here today.
I'll tell him you called.
Thanks.
Bye.
Hey, guys.
How you doing, cutie? What's with the crowd? Where's Michael Ferris? The school's closed today.
Where is he, joanie? I don't know.
He's gone for a couple of days.
We've got a warrant.
Look at it, post it on the wall, then call your boss.
I don't know where he is.
Honestly.
All right.
Your mistake, sister.
Let's do this, guys.
What are we looking for? Two days is how long it takes to make one of these movies.
Find out where they're shooting.
Look for invoices from hotel rooms, contracts from real estate agents leasing agreements on warehouses, homes, vehicles.
How much time do we have? Don't even ask, Jude.
Man: He wants the next shot over here.
Light this corner, but keep them low.
Ferris: Okay, come on, people, let's go.
Set up for the next scene.
Come on, move it.
See, Nikki? She's a good kid.
Very free.
Very good instincts.
I told you everything was going to be fine.
Love the look.
Not real wholesome.
Drop your shoulder, Mike, and frown and put your hands behind your back.
That's it.
Fabulous.
Fabulous! I want all this equipment tagged! I want every frame of film! Hoffs: Trina! Give me that film.
Give me the film.
Give me the film, trina.
We have to process this film to take Ferris to trial.
I just can't turn and walk away from this.
I'm sor Hoffs! Judy's a cop? She's with you guys? What's going to happen without the film? Nothing.
What if I testify? You have the right to remain silent.
You have the right to an attorney.
Hey, wait a minute.
Where are you taking her? What is this? She's riding with us, Ferris.
Nikki, what are you doing? Nikki, don't do this! Nikki, listen to me! Don't do this.
Nikki! You listen to me! Don't do this! Nikki! Sit down.
You could have blown the whole case, hoffs.
Trina wasn't Lacey king, captain.
She wasn't three years into the business.
All I saw was her whole life being ruined by that film.
There were other ways to bury that film without destroying the evidence.
I'm sorry.
I went too far.
Yeah.
Michael Ferris is going away.
Nikki gave us a full statement How old she was when she started the purpose of the school, and the other underage girls that Ferris used throughout the years.
I guess we got lucky.
Sometimes you do.
Yeah.
You all set? Yeah.
I got my seat on the plane.
No selling your ticket this time? It was good to see you, dread.
You know, when it comes down to it, I'm just glad that you're happy.
Later.
Enjoy it with a friend, mon.
Hoffs What do you think I'd look like with my hair like that, mon?
