people like Paul and Viola

Gerard don't just tell lies,

they are lies.

In public, they're decent,

socially-responsible folk

who look you in the eye,

but never long enough

to make you uncomfortable.

They shake your hand,

pat you on the back,

but never overdo it.

They're Christian if you are,

they swear if you do,

and they do this because

people like you

wrongly believe

that public presentation

tells us all about

private lives.

It tells us nothing.

It hides everything.

And what about you,

Mr. Babbage?

Tell me about

your double life.

What do you think about?

I think about a girl

who didn't come home,

what I might have missed,

and if I miss something again,

who's next?

That's a good boy.

Bye, Harriet. See you tomorrow.

See ya.

This next

registrant's a fellow

by the name

of Glenn Custis.

He's turned his

perversions into a business.

He's a pornographer...

movies, magazines.

He also runs

a little dominion.

- What's a dominion?

- You'll see.

Why don't you look down that way?

I'll go this way.

Hey.

I'm okay.

Do you know where Glenn...

I'm looking

for Glenn Custis.

Yeah! Mmm...

Rasputin here

says Custis is out.

Glenn, this guy's

looking for you.

Glenn?

I'm not Glenn.

Nice hands.

Nice fingers.

- You're white.

- Let go.

Let go, let go.

Hey hey hey hey hey,

look at me.

Look at me, look at me, look at me.

You know who this is?

This is one of

Custis's girls.

That's right, one of

Glenn's girl... Look at me.

Just look at me.

Look in my eyes.

Tell Custis

I'm looking for him.

F***.

So you're not seeing anyone,

I mean anyone

who stayed.

What did I tell you about

the personal stuff?

Okay.

Whatever.

It's just that l...

I didn't see a spare toothbrush

or a man's razor, so...

But I did see a large

pea coat hanging there.

Shiny elbows and

missing buttons, so...

A smoker. It's not exactly

your style, I don't think.

But I guess it suited

your needs for the time.

Do you ever just have

a normal conversation?

This is normal

conversation.

No, I mean,

"Hey... hey, how are you?

Nice weather, huh?

Hey, thanks for the drink."

You don't talk,

you pump.

The fire has consumed over 1700 acres

and 14 houses.

In other news, police

are investigating

the disappearance

of Harriet Wells.

The 17-year-old is believed

to have been abducted

in the Paradise Hills area

sometime yesterday.

Harriet's parents made

a plea in help

tracing their daughter's

whereabouts.

We just want

our daughter to come home.

We want her to come back.

She's our everything,

our whole life.

If anyone knows

where she is,

please just help me

bring my baby home.

Police have no suspects

at this time.
