8MM (1999) Edit

A daughter.

A few days ago, they picked up a girl hitchhiking off 81...

A hundred.

A listing for Celebrity Films, and I need an address.

A little oIder.

A male with an abdominal wound.

A million in cash?

Abdominal wound?

About that girl...

Action.

All I'm saying is, please know...

All right, I'll keep trying.

All right, Tom Welles. devil's waiting on you.

All right, you fuck.

All right, your totaI is $74.58, please.

All right! It's cooI!

All right? Okay.

All right.

All right.

All right.

All right. You take care, Max California.

All the time, she resented him.

All the time, she resented him.

All you can do is cut me loose.

Amy, I've been sitting around in bars following this guy.

An abduction's one thing, a runaway's another.

An honour to meet you.

And boom, a coupIe years go by, and here I am.

And even if you do, what do you got?

And have yourself a fabulous day.

And I slapped her.

And I'm going to leave you here just like you left her.

And risk us? Risk your family? Why?

And so did I. Check me out now.

And the second envelope is for you.

And three?

And what about you, Tom Welles?

And you certainIy had Eddie here on pins and needles.

Another guy sees it and he falls in love.

Anything harder?

Anywhere from 850,000 to 1,000,000 missing every year.

Are you affillated with law enforcement?

Are you in danger?

Are you?

Around 400 bucks a week, off the books.

As if she never existed.

As you know, my husband passed away recentIy.

Ask him.

Ask me, her tits weren't all that great.

Because he could.

Because I don't like you, Mr. Longdale.

Because I fucked her doesn't mean I wanted her there.

Because I want to.

Because if you want to stay married, you can't treat me this way!

Between November...

Big date tonight?

Big fucking hero man.

Blow me, you paranoid fuck.

Bondage, fetish, Gothic hard core. DefiniteIy not for the squeamish.

Bravo.

But he was always loyal.

But he's got fans.

But his true passion lay...

But how many people seem to be realistically killed...

But I just....

But I think it'll cost you another...

But I'll be dealing directIy with you...

But I'm no expert. Let the police make a determination.

But I'm sorry, man. I toId you snuff was bogus.

But mostly legal.

But nothing will ever fill the hole in my heart.

But nothing will ever fill the hole in my heart.

But on second thought, why would I need their faces?

But thank you.

But these sales won't last much longer.

But this probably happened 6 years ago, so it's not

But Warren has even bigger plans.

But what do I give a shit...

But you attended Penn on an academic scholarship.

California, right?

California?

Came back for the battery operated vagina after all.

Can I call you back?

Can I speak to your husband?

Can you get this suitcase to her people?

Can you tell me...

Can't say the same about you.

Can't you guess what I'm about to say next?!

Can't you just answer my simpIe question?

Capote.

Cash, stock certificates.

Certainly not cash.

Challenge me.

Children are separate. No eating or smoking.

Cindy's education, and a lot more.

Come and join us.

Come on, give me something, Eddie.

Come on, honey.

Come on, Let's go. All right!

Come on, wake up. Who is this?

Come on.

Come on.

Come on. I got a lot of shit to do.

Coming home with hickeys, Lying all the time.

Congratulations.

Connect me to the duty nurse.

Could I interest you in a battery operated vagina?

Could you get that flowered one down for me?

Couldn't pay me enough to live down there.

Daddy never ****d me.

Daddy's home, sweetie.

Daniel Longdale. We spoke on the phone.

Dave?

Dave?

Dear Mom, if you're reading this...

Dear Mr. Welles.:

DefiniteIy loves what he does for a living.

Devil changes you.

Did it get him off?

Did Mary have a boyfriend?

Did you fuck me on this?

Did you get hard? Did you come?

Did you hear from her again?

Did you hoId his cock? Give him the hand job...

Did you miss me? I sure missed you.

Did you watch it with him?

Didn't like rules. Takes after me, I guess.

Die, you motherfucker, die!

Dig it with your own hands and bury me next to your girlfriend.

Dino and Machine and Eddie made a snuff film, right?

Dino Velvet.

Discreet, isn't he?

Do it!

Do it!

Do we need a break?

Do whatever you want to me, but Let him go.

Do you ever consider....

Do you get turned on at places like tonight?

Do you know where I can get some?

Do you know...

Do you want to tell me what you found?

Does your mother have any teeth?

Doing eight months on a B and E.

Don't be stupid, Edward.

Don't blame yourself. You were in way over your head.

Don't come looking for me, because I'm not coming back.

Don't take it.

Don't worry about me.

Dumped that bitch right before I moved to L.A.

Eddie PooIe?

Eddie, take your gun out.

Eight o'clock?

Emergency.

Every time the phone rings...

Everything you say is right.

Excuse me, I have to use your restroom.

Extreme bondage.

Fake blood, special effects.

Filed a bogus report.

Find out who made this film...

Fine, Howard Hughes.

Fine. Lonesome.

First star I've seen tonight

First, who said you're right?

Five thousand now. Five thousand upon delivery.

Five.

Fixed you a drink.

Foot fetish, orgies, shit films...

For more money, of course.

Four children, seven grandchildren.

Four o'clock would be fine.

Fuck off.

Fuck you, Larry.

Fuck you, Larry.

Fuck you!

Fuck you! And fuck her!

Fuck you.

Fuck! Fuck!

Get in the car.

Get it over with.

Get receipts.

Get together some upscale product where the girls still have teeth.

Girl like that disappears, nobody gives a shit.

Girl's all I've got to go on.

Give Cindy a kiss for me.

Give me your permission to hurt them, please.

Go ahead, put me out of my misery. Pull the fucking trigger.

Go ahead.

Go ahead.

Go ahead.

Go on home to your wifey!

Go to where we spent Fourth of JuIy weekend.

God, I love flattery.

God, not like this.

God!

Going to shoot in two days?

Gone.

Gone.

Good boy.

Good boy. You're being very cooperative.

Good enough for me.

Good luck.

Good night, Max.

Good night, sweetheart.

Good question.

Good, I want you to forget everything.

Good.

Good.

Hard bondage, of course.

Hard to believe it's got any parts worth highlighting.

Have a good day.

Have this wish I wish tonight

Have you admitted an adult male with an abdominal wound...

He always wears a mask.

He calls himself Machete No, Machine.

He calls himself Machine.

He did it because he could.

He didn't call?

He doesn't know anything.

He hired them for your husband. Kept most of the million.

He might be interested.

He saw that woman every night.

He says I'm prettier than a lot of girls in movies.

He's a lover, man.

He's a producerIdirectorIweirdo.

He's from New York somewhere.

He's like the Jim Jarmusch of S & M.

He's not here.

He's onIy got one bullet!

He's saying that Longdale fucked us...

He's toId me Velvet will do commissions if there's enough dough.

Hello, Cinderella.

Hello, Hollywood Wax Museum. Can I help you?

Hello, Machine.

Hello, Mrs. Mathews?

Her instructions were that this first envelope...

Her stepfather?

Here.

Here's my number.

Here's the deal.

Here's where we stand.

Hey, honey.

Hi, Cinderella.

Hi, sweetie. Hi, honey.

His dad owns that garage in town.

His passing has left me with something of a dilemma.

Hold on. Let me check my records.

Honey, it's me.

Honey, it's me.

Honey, phone!

Horrible.

How are you?

How are you?

How bad?

How can I be of assistance to you?

How did it go?

How hard do you want it?

How much did Christian pay for your conscience?

How much you make in there?

How was Miami?

How you doing?

How's Cindy?

How's it going, Samuel?

How's it going?

How's the textbook business?

Hoyt Avenue, Brooklyn, 3 o'clock.

Hurts, doesn't it?

I am sorry to bring this up, but in these circumstances...

I am sorry, sir.

I am supposed to have...

I apoIogize. I had to ask.

I asked you a question! Where the fuck is Laura?!

I brought her in and she...

I buried it in the woods.

I called earlier. I'm a friend of Frenchie's, from L.A.

I called up Dino...

I can arrange something really special for ten.

I can get you in if you want.

I can hook you up.

I can hurt them.

I can't figure out why you're involved. Maybe the victim ?

I can't.

I checked the film stock. It's called Supralux 5 4 4.

I could be a star too.

I could treat it like a missing persons case.

I could use your heIp. I meant it when I said I think you're smart.

I decided it was the future.

I didn't know what to make of you at first.

I didn't realize....

I didn't....

I don't buy it. I don't endorse it.

I don't know and I don't give a fuck, either.

I don't know his fucking name.

I don't know his name. He shows up in his mask, he leaves in his mask.

I don't know what you're looking for...

I don't know what your scene is.

I don't know why. You think I'd be used to it by now.

I don't know.

I don't know.

I don't know.

I don't know. Hollywood.

I don't know. That's his whoIe thing.

I don't like it when you leave.

I don't mean any offense...

I don't smoke.

I feIt like it.

I feIt these were my husband's private things.

I forgot three.

I get calls for work on the West Coast. I'd like to call you again.

I got 10,000 words on the Federal Theatre project.

I got the picture.

I had three jerks returning your tapes last month.

I had to learn the hard way.

I hate to repeat myself. It makes me look so stupid.

I hated you for telling me the truth...

I hated you for telling me the truth...

I have a long drive ahead of me.

I have to go back.

I have to see her now. It's extremely urgent.

I have to see Mrs. Christian.

I hid this so Dave the dickhead wouldn't find it.

I hired you because you're young and completely out of your league.

I hope we can do business.

I just got a call.

I just looked at the picture, didn't I?

I just point the way.

I just spoke to her.

I just wish I would have gotten you a receipt.

I know what you did to her.

I know you can do it. You're doing a wonderful job.

I know.

I know. This is more fun. I raise the price, you get pissed off.

I left my diary behind because I want you to see why I'm leaving.

I lost her because of him, and then I lost him.

I lost her because of him, and then I lost him.

I love her so much.

I love her so much.

I love you too. Bye.

I love you, and I miss you. We'll taIk tonight.

I love you, son.

I love you.

I love you.

I love you.

I love you.

I loved him deepIy.

I might get drummed out of the pornographers' union.

I miss you too. I love you.

I missed you.

I need information. Maybe you can heIp.

I need to know.

I needed the fucking money.

I never expected you to get this far.

I never saw nobody get done.

I onIy mentioned this because...

I prevented anyone...

I realize you've given this careful consideration.

I really wish you'd go to church with me tonight.

I spoke to your FBI contact yesterday, Agent....

I suppose I always hoped she'd be back.

I swear it.

I swear to Christ, I'll shoot you in the back!

I think about it every day.

I think I know where it is.

I think very well.

I toId her I'd give it a coupIe of weeks. Three.

I toId them to keep Mary Anne's case active.

I toId you not to trust the prick.

I toId you, don't film me.

I tried to warn my daughter, but what can you do?

I want the proof.

I want this to be over. Nobody else needs to get hurt.

I want to know.

I want to punish them for what they did.

I wanted to Let you know I spoke to my people at the agency.

I was just making dinner.

I was there a few weeks ago asking about your daughter.

I wasn't beaten. I wasn't molested.

I will try to use the money you sent for some good...

I will. I'll keep trying for you.

I wish I could stay, but this is the mortgage.

I wish I may, wish I might

I wish you owned a record label.

I won't forget tonight.

I would choose to know.

I'd forgotten about it till you showed me her picture.

I'd hate to see you in one of those everyday situations...

I'd like to shoot you.

I'd like you to answer questions about your daughter, Mary Anne.

I'll be a coupIe of doors down.

I'll be in touch.

I'll be there.

I'll call you if I find anything out.

I'll call you when it's safe to go home.

I'll do the best I can, ma'am.

I'll get a clearer image through computer enhancement.

I'll get the film.

I'll give you 500 for a few days.

I'll give you the address.

I'll have Mr. Longdale arrange it.

I'll just have to put my thinking cap on.

I'll make dinner. Are you hungry?

I'll need another 50, if you approve the pIan I mentioned earlier.

I'll put an arrow right through your goddamn throat, you understand?

I'll risk it.

I'll stop by tomorrow night.

I'm a huge admirer of yours.

I'm a member of her family.

I'm almost done. I miss you.

I'm bored with this.

I'm camera shy.

I'm glad those men are dead.

I'm glad those men are dead.

I'm going out. Dig up whatever Velvet tapes you can find.

I'm going to keep this as a deposit.

I'm going to kill you.

I'm going to start a new life with him.

I'm good.

I'm just saying, before you know it, you're in it. Deep in it.

I'm looking for a girl we're not even sure is missing.

I'm looking for a stabbing victim. Male. Maybe six feet.

I'm looking for your son. You've got a son named Warren, right?

I'm not going to Let anything happen to us.

I'm not mixed up in anything, Pops.

I'm not patronizing you.

I'm not smoking, okay? We've been all through that.

I'm not sure I understand.

I'm not the kind to blend in with the crowd, if you didn't notice.

I'm on my way! Go now!

I'm onIy what I am.

I'm sorry I forgot to call last night.

I'm sorry, I can't stay.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm still here, Mr. Welles.

I'm still in Cleveland. How's Cindy?

I'm Thomas Hart. I'm a licensed investigator.

I'm very close to identifying the man in the mask.

I've been asking you that the last 10 minutes.

I've been here six fucking years trying to get my music together.

I've been hired by a couple in Philadelphia, a doctor and his wife.

I've been hired by the U.S. Resource Centre, Missing Persons...

I've been privileged to provide services for people I admire.

I've got about $5000 left in cash.

I've made enough for two, as it happens.

I've spoken to associates of mine in Harrisburg, Lancaster and Hershey.

If he's not interested, we'll split.

If I ask and you are, you got to tell me.

If I do right by her, with the circle she runs in...

If it's all the same, I'd like to send it to him.

If it's approprlate.

If she does, send her down, you fuck.

If someone never soId a snuff film, they shouldn't care what I ask.

If something's illegal, the buyers are as far away as they can get.

If that's not enough for you...

If they have, they should be nervous.

If you don't bring me that film...

If you've got that kind of connection, great. If not, speak now.

Insurance policy is under his mother's name, Doris Veronica Higgins.

Irving United Steel, I believe.

Is it getting to you?

Is that real?

Is that you?

Is this the first thing I get?

Is this you?

Isn't that the same girl?

Isn't that what happened?

It can't take longer than that. It's an outside shot.

It is the same.

It should be 4000 and the writer doesn't want to change anything.

It was something I did for money.

It'd be nice to have a meaI without the TV on for once.

It'll be your best friend after a few days...

It's a film...

It's a missing persons.

It's a pleasure to make your acquaintance, Mr. Longdale.

It's a Truman Capote word. Hello?

It's always that way.

It's an honour to meet you. Thank you for seeing us.

It's because I slapped her.

It's Cindy's college money.

It's guilt, usually.

It's important that you don't Let this raise your expectations.

It's just a few days.

It's like a gas station, you pay before you pump.

It's Lt. Anderson of the 13th precinct.

It's me.

It's not easy.

It's not going to effect any ongoing efforts.

It's not mine. Don't make a big deal.

It's one of the most depressing things. Eating alone.

It's right here.

It's that look...

It's the Michael Jackson look, with the zippers.

It's Thomas.

It's unpleasant, I know.

It's very realistic.

It's when they feeI the knife go in.

Jesus!

Just a friend from a while back. Owe him some money.

Just because Mrs. Christian praised your discretion...

Just so we make this as efficient as possible...

Just started cutting her up.

Just tell me that you loved her.

Kept from a phone? What happened?

Kick it in my direction.

Kill them all.

Kill them, Machine.

Kind of hard to come by.

Last bullet. The last one.

Let him go first.

Let's pretend I live in the same fantasy world...

Like a baby? '' I'm so sorry I killed the girl.''

Like Shaft?

Like these ladies here, they like my styIe.

Like you'd expect, I guess. I feeI sorry for her.

Lo and behold, from right out of the blue came...

Look at yourself! Look at yourself! Look!

Look where we are!

Look, it beats pumping gas.

Look, Pops, it's not too late to change your mind about all this.

Look.

Looking like that.

Looks like the Philippines.

Lots of Mexican S & M, lots of Asian bondage...

Love your work.

Machine put down the plastic over here.

Machine!

Machine.

Man, my first time in the Big Bad AppIe.

Man, you're spending my money.

Mary Anne Mathews?

Mary Anne Mathews.

Max.

Maybe about a year ago.

Maybe someday you'll see me on TV or in magazines.

Million?

Mommy didn't abuse me.

Mr. Anderson?

Mr. Christian?

Mr. Longdale here will keep you company.

Mr. Longdale, if there's no honour...

Mr. W., would you be so kind as to remove any firearms from your person?

Mr. W...

Mr. Welles, goodbye.

Mr. Welles, the film, please.

Mrs. Christian chose to take her own life this afternoon, Mr. Welles.

Mrs. Christian, it's Tom Welles.

Mrs. Christian, there were three men.

Mrs. Christian?

Mrs. Mathews?

Mrs. Mathews?

My condolences, Mrs. Christian.

My father worked the Pittsburgh mllI.

My guests have arrived!

My husband had five cash accounts he used.

My husband was the onIy one with the combination to this safe.

My husband's inner sanctum.

My invoice is in the envelope, if that's all.

My name's George.

My partner and I would like to speak to Mr. Velvet.

My tapes sell. People eat the shit up.

Name the vice, I name the price.

Nell. Nell CoIe?

Never seen her.

New York Hospital.

Next day, she was gone.

Nice and easy!

Nice, aren't they?

No, he's Lying.

No, I am not.

No, I've been inquiring around if, by any chance, you've seen this girl.

No, not one.

No, sir.

No, we're there to clean up the mess, to wipe their royal asses.

No. It made me sick.

Nobody else saw you bring her in?

Nobody knows what nobody knows, you know what I mean?

Nobody really appreclates that kind of integrity anymore.

None of this would be happening if you'd given up.

Not anymore.

Not just the cameraman and the masked man.

Not many people have been inside this room.

Not yet, but I'm looking into it for her parents.

Nothing I can say will make you sleep easier at night.

Nothing illegal, but borderline.

Nothing out of the ordinary, really, except that.

Now cuff him to the bed, Eddie.

Now empty those bullets onto the tabIe.

Now get the film.

Now I have to go back out.

Now you know.

Now, Dino, drop the crossbow.

Of course not, Edward!

Of course not. I wouldn't want to hurt your feelings.

Of course...

Oh, boy.

Okay, bye. I'm going.

Okay, fine. But everybody's got their limit.

Okay, I've got it!

Okay, what?

One of Dino's lunatics. He's in a bunch of these.

One, there's always a victim. And two, don't be it.

OnIy 3 rules in life, Tom Welles.

Or I will shoot.

Or not taken the job in the first place.

Out of the question.

Parade of losers I see every day?

Patina.

Peers went into law and finance. You chose surveillance.

People mind their own business in fleabags.

People use it to purchase goods.

Phone is listed under ''D. Velvet'' in Manhattan.

Please hold for phone number and address.

Please tell me you'll continue the investigation.

Please, Amy, just do it!

Please, if you'd just take a look. It would've been a few years.

Please, show me your gun.

Please?

Please.

Please.

Pleasure.

Plus expenses. I fIy first class.

Police looked.

Pops, you dance with the devil, the devil don't change.

Put the bow down!

Put your hands behind your back!

Put your hands on your head. Down on your knees.

**** films.

Remember me?

Remember when...

Satan ex machina.

Save me.

Save me.

Second stipulation.

Second, who said anything about a victim?

See if there's anything out of the ordinary.

Senator, let me know if I can be of further assistance to you.

Send me your wife and daughter. We'll make a film, you faggot!

Services will be heldnext week, if you'd like to attend.

Sex industry folklore. There's no such thing.

She came to Hollywood to be a big fucking movie star.

She did leave a note...

She didn't return one night. Do you know what happened to her?

She had that look.

She hated him...

She lived here for onIy about a month, if I recall correctIy.

She missed you. I missed you.

She seemed so lost.

She shows up knocking at my door like a fucking stalker.

She started crying...

She was alive till you paid to have her murdered?

She was nothing. A little pussy off the street.

She was sneaking out with someone.

She wouldn't tell me who.

She wrote that you'd understand what that meant.

She's all I think about.

She's been dead a long time. Nobody gives a shit but you.

She's not breathing.

She's sweet. She misses you.

She's the onIy witness.

She's touching the phone.

Shoot me.

Should I go?

Sick shit.

Sickest shit you'll ever see.

Simulated ****, simulated violence.

Since I met you, there isn't much you've done that I haven't been party to.

Sir, can you tell me your name?

Sit down. Make yourself comfortable.

Six sounds good, Pops.

Slowly.

Smoking? I'm not smoking.

Snuff 2.: The Resurrection.

Snuff films are a kind of urban myth.

Snuff?

So are we in the movie business?

So I slapped her around a bit just to shut her up.

So I start part time where I work, to make ends meet.

So if someone...

So one of us has to get on a plane, all right?

So the film was made prior to that?

So we don't have a choice, do we, Mr. Longdale?

So when are we leaving?

So when you ask people about fucking illegal stuff. ..

So you got a wife and a daughter...

So you think it's one of a kind.

So, kind of bad.

So, what was Mrs. Christian like?

Some men, they took her and they killed her and they buried her.

Some of these S & M and bondage films you'll see straddIe the llne.

Something's wrong.

Sometimes it's not the priority for the police it should be.

Son, you know where the Fayetteville lockup is?

Sorry, I was just switching phones.

Sorry.

Star tattoo on his right hand?

Starlight, star bright

Start talking, Tom.

Stay away from me.

Stay back.

Stay down!

Steal the recipe for my secret...

Stick.

Stop, Eddie!

Stuff that's soId under the counter, illegally.

Sure.

TaIk her up?

Take Cindy. Get out of the house now.

Take it out now! And drop it.

Take off the fucking mask!

Take off the mask.

Take off the mask.

Tell her how beautiful she was...

Tell me the poor girl wasn't killed.

Thank you for not smoking.

Thank you for shopping at adult Bookstore.

Thank you for writing...

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thanks, no. I've got work to do.

Thanks.

That chick could be a baseball player.

That is interesting, Mrs. Christian.

That person could turn us in, have us killed.

That sure as shit looks real.

That was her name. Her mother remembers her.

That won't do it. That's not enough, Tom.

That'd be so unnecessary for any number of reasons...

That'll be nice.

That's a new one.

That's all I can tell you. Sometimes you can't know what I'm doing.

That's awfully generous and everything

That's cute.

That's for you.

That's good.

That's great.

That's him.

That's him. Can you give me an address?

That's it. She's dead.

That's my oId band.

That's right.

That's right.

That's right. Easy.

That's what he gave you, right?
