Murder Eleven (2013) Movie Script
[ WOMAN WHIMPERING ]
HEY.
I BROUGHT YOU SOME WATER.
YEAH, I DON'T WANT YOU
GETTING DEHYDRATED
OVER THE NEXT FEW HOURS.
I'M GLAD YOU GOT SOME REST.
IT'S STILL EARLY,
SO WE HAVE SOME TIME
TO GET TO KNOW ONE ANOTHER.
[ WHIMPERING CONTINUES ]
DON'T DO THAT.
I DON'T LIKE IT.
IT COULD MAKE YOUR,
UH, MAKEUP SMEAR,
AND THAT WILL NOT BE ATTRACTIVE.
STOP IT.
LOOK, I DON'T WANT TO HURT YOU,
BUT I WILL BASH
YOUR FUCKING BRAINS IN!
[ CHUCKLES ]
I'M JOKING.
I'M JUST KIDDING.
I'M JUST KIDDING.
I'D NEVER DO ANYTHING LIKE THAT.
I MEAN, I GOT NO PROBLEM
KILLING YOU, PER SE,
BUT IT WOULDN'T BE VIOLENT.
I'D, UH...
JUST SUFFOCATE YOU.
YOU KNOW, SOMETHING PEACEFUL
LIKE THAT.
[ SCRAPING ]
[ WHIMPERING CONTINUES ]
[ SIGHS ]
YOU SURE ARE PRETTY.
OKAY, HERE'S THE PLAN.
I'M GONNA GET YOU
OUT OF THOSE CLOTHES.
I'M GONNA GIVE YOU
A NICE, HOT BATH.
UH, I-I'M SORRY, WHAT?
[ WHIMPERING CONTINUES ]
OH, YEAH.
I CAN LEAVE SOME MUSIC ON
FOR YOU.
I MEAN, WOULD THA HELP RELAX YOU?
OKAY -- AND, WHEN I TAKE
THE GAG OUT,
DON'T BOTHER TO SCREAM.
[ SCREAMS ]
THERE'S NO ONE THAT'S GONNA
HEAR YOU, DARLING.
[ WHIMPERING CONTINUES ]
STOP WITH THE FUCKING CRYING.
Shh!
[ WOMAN BREATHING SHAKILY ]
YOU ARE NOT GONNA RUIN
THIS NIGHT FOR ME.
IT IS A VERY SPECIAL NIGHT.
MY ADVICE FOR YOU IS SIMPLE --
LET YOUR MIND WANDER.
MAYBE IMAGINE
YOU'RE SOMEWHERE ELSE.
AWW.
DON'T WORRY.
IT'S ALL GOING TO BE OKAY.
TRUST ME.
[ SIRENS WAILING ]
[ SOFT MUSIC PLAYS ]
THANKS, RUE.
YOU'RE WELCOME, SUGAR.
[ CHUCKLES ]
I-IT'S BEEN, UH,
ALMOST 10 YEARS
SINCE I'VE HAD A PARTNER
ASSIGNED TO ME,
SO FORGIVE ME IF IT TAKES
A MINUTE TO GET USED TO YOU.
UH, YOU MUST BE
SOME KIND OF GOLDEN BOY.
Jesse:
WHAT MAKES YOU SAY THAT?
THERE ARE 10 COPS AHEAD OF YOU
FOR THIS SPOT.
[ CELLPHONE RINGS ]
[ CELLPHONE BEEPS ]
CHIEF'S DISCRETION,
I SUPPOSE.
AND THE CAPTAIN
FORCES YOU ON ME.
NO.
I ASKED IF I COULD
PARTNER WITH YOU.
OH, THE CAPTAIN ISN'T ONE
TO EASILY GRANT FAVORS --
NOT UNLESS
THEY BENEFIT HIM.
YEAH, WELL, MAYBE HE FIGURED
YOU NEEDED SOME HELP.
PERHAPS YOU GO NAKED PICTURES OF HIM
WITH A WOMAN
WHO'S NOT HIS WIFE.
I KNOW HOW
YOU UNDERCOVER BOYS ROLL.
[ CHUCKLES ]
YEAH, THAT'S RIGHT.
NO, YOU KNOW WHAT?
IF I HAD, I WOULD HAVE
MADE HIM LET ME DRIVE.
THEN YOU MUST BE GOLDEN.
[ CHUCKLES ]
[ CELLPHONE RINGS ]
[ CELLPHONE BEEPS ]
SHOULD WE CUT THE SHIT?
OKAY.
I WAS KICKED OU OF NARCOTICS.
I DIDN'T WANT TO LEAVE.
WE BOTH KNOW THIS.
USUALLY, WHEN YOU'RE
KICKED OUT OF A UNIT,
YOU WIND UP ON A FOOT BEAT,
NOT ON HOMICIDE.
YEAH, WELL, USUALLY WHEN YOU'RE
KICKED OUT OF A UNIT,
YOU FUCKED UP.
I DIDN'T.
I GOT TOLD TO MOVE ON,
BUT I COULD LAND
WHEREVER I WANTED.
AND YOU CHOSE
THE MURDER POLICE.
IF YOU'RE GONNA PLAY,
YOU MIGHT AS WELL PLAY BIG.
ISN'T THAT RIGHT,
DETECTIVE?
LOOKING TO HI THAT HOME RUN?
CLEAR YOUR NAME,
GET YOURSELF BACK IN NARCOS?
[ CELLPHONE RINGS ]
[ CELLPHONE BEEPS ]
LOOK, I CAN'T TALK.
[ CELLPHONE BEEPS ]
[ SIGHS ]
[ SIGHS ]
LOOK, I'M JUST TRYING TO DO
MY JOB, DETECTIVE, OKAY?
I'M NOT LOOKING FOR ANY GLORY
OR ANY REDEMPTION.
I'M JUST HERE TO WORK.
SO WHY THIS CASE?
WHAT KIND OF COP WOULD I BE
IF I DIDN'T TAKE THIS CASE ON?
YOU CARE ABOU THESE GIRLS?
YEAH, I DO.
GOOD.
'CAUSE I DON'T THINK
THE MAYOR, THE CHIEF,
OR YOUR BUDDY,
THE CAPTAIN,
REALLY CARE
IF WE CATCH THIS GUY OR NOT.
HUH.
AS LONG AS HE'S NOT KILLING
TOURISTS, RIGHT?
[ CHUCKLES ]
THIS IS ATLANTIC CITY.
UNLESS OUR SERIAL KILLER
STARTS DROPPING BODIES
ON THE CASINO FLOOR,
NO ONE'S GONNA GIVE A DAMN.
[ DOOR OPENS ]
YOU READY?
'CAUSE I'M READY.
[ CHUCKLES ]
[ ENGINE SHUTS OFF ]
[ BREATHING SHAKILY ]
[ THUDDING ]
[ MUFFLED SCREAMING ]
HEY, HEY, HEY.
SHUT YOUR FUCKING MOUTH.
SHUT YOUR MOUTH.
[ WHIMPERING ]
YOU REMEMBER EVERYTHING
WE SPOKE ABOUT, RIGHT?
MM-HMM.
YOU KNOW THE DEAL?
HUH?
GOOD.
[ BREATHING SHAKILY ]
Shh.
[ GULPS ]
[ SOBBING ]
[ SIREN WAILS ]
FOR THE PAST 10 WEEKS,
WE'VE FOUND A DEAD PROSTITUTE
EVERY SATURDAY MORNING.
WE KNOW THEY'RE BEING KILLED
SOMETIME LATE FRIDAY NIGH INTO THE EARLY HOURS
OF SATURDAY.
Jesse: AND ALL THE GIRLS
WERE LAST SEEN
SOMETIME BEFORE
5:00 P.M. ON FRIDAY.
WHICH MEANS WE GO ABOUT A SEVEN-HOUR WINDOW
BETWEEN WHEN THEY GO MISSING
AND HE KILLS THEM.
WE GOT SURVEILLANCE UNITS
STATIONED
AT THE THREE PRIMARY HOTELS
AND TWO MAIN STRIP CLUBS.
WE GOT STREET CRIMES
RUNNING STOP-AND-POPS
UP AND DOWN THE AVENUE,
LOOKING FOR JOHNS.
AND WE GOT VICE THROWING CASH
TO THEIR SNITCHES.
NOW, OF THE 10 GIRLS
WE KNOW,
SOME OF THEM DIDN'T WORK
CORNERS OR STRIP CLUBS, RIGHT?
YEAH, THAT'S RIGHT.
THREE.
BUT WE HAVE NO INDICATION
OF HOW HE MEETS THEM.
NO.
THE THREE HOTELS WE CHOSE
ARE THE ONES
THAT VICE SAID
HAVE THE HIGHEST AMOUNTS
OF PROSTITUTION
COMPLAINTS AND ARRESTS.
YEAH, THAT'S RIGHT.
BUT WE HAVE NOT CONFIRMED
THAT THESE GIRLS
ACTUALLY WORKED
THESE PARTICULAR HOTELS.
NO, BUT TWO OF THE VICTIMS
HAD PRIOR ARRESTS
AT THE CASINO HOTELS.
ALL RIGHT, SO...
WHAT ARE WE MISSING?
HOW DOES HE MEET THESE GIRLS?
NONE OF THEM PLACED ADS IN
THE LOCAL SEX-FOR-HIRE PAPERS.
NONE OF THEM
WERE HIGH-END CALL GIRLS.
WHAT OPTIONS
ARE WE NOT SEEING?
WHAT IF THERE IS
A HIGH-END CALL SERVICE
FOR LOW-END PROSTITUTES?
HUH.
TYPE OF SERVICE
ALL THE GIRLS
COULD USE
TO MEET THEIR DATES.
NO.
YOU KNOW, IF THERE WAS SOMETHING
LIKE THAT AROUND HERE,
VICE WOULD KNOW
ABOUT IT.
WHO SAYS IT HAS TO EXIS AROUND HERE?
WELL, WE KNOW THA SOME OF THE GIRLS
CAME FROM OUT OF TOWN.
MAYBE ALL OF THEM
WERE HIRED ELSEWHERE.
HEAD DOWN TO
THE OLD CONVENTION CENTER.
WHAT FOR?
I'VE GOT AN INFORMANT.
SHE OWES ME A FAVOR, AND...
SHE HELPS BRING IN
OUT-OF-TOWN WORKING GIRLS
TO HELP WITH
THE BIG CONVENTIONS.
GOOD. LET'S GO.
Woman: HEY, BABY.
HEY.
THOUGHT I'D, UH,
SURPRISE YOU
WITH SOME CHINESE FOOD
FOR DINNER.
YEAH.
YEAH, I-I'M
VERY SURPRISED. I --
YEAH, WELL, I GOT MY MOM
TO PICK THE KIDS UP
FROM THE SITTER,
AND JULIE SAID SHE'D TAKE
MY SECOND SHIFT AT WORK
SO WE COULD HAVE
A NICE, QUIET DINNER TOGETHER.
OH, THAT'S NICE.
YEAH.
IT IS, ISN'T IT?
[ CHUCKLES ]
AND I MISS MY HUSBAND.
AWW,
I MISS YOU, TOO, BABY.
[ CHUCKLES ]
MM.
I LOVE THE WAY
YOU LOOK AT ME.
YEAH?
Yeah.
MM.
I SAY...
WE TAKE THIS FOOD...
[ CHUCKLES ]
...A BOTTLE OF WINE...
MM-HMM.
...HEAD DOWN
TO THE BEACH.
MM-HMM.
A NICE, ROMANTIC DINNER
UNDER THE STARS.
I'LL GRAB THE WINE.
[ CHUCKLES ]
LET'S GO.
[ CHUCKLES ]
[ THUDDING ]
WHAT WAS THAT?
NOTHING.
I WAS WORKING
OUT THERE EARLIER.
[ CHUCKLES ]
IS THERE SOMEBODY
IN THE GARAGE?
NO. OF COURSE NOT.
COME ON. LET'S GO.
SAM. SAMANTHA.
LET GO OF ME!
[ INDISTINCT TALKING ]
WHAT THE FUCK?
[ WHIMPERING ]
SAM, STOP.
SAMANTHA!
LEAVE HER BE!
OW! FUCK.
OW!
LEAVE HER BE, OKAY?
[ WHIMPERING ]
THIS -- Shh!
WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
JUST...
LET ME EXPLAIN
EVERYTHING, OKAY?
LET GO OF ME.
OW!
UGH!
SAMANTHA! STOP!
LISTEN TO ME. STOP!
OW!
LISTEN TO ME!
CALM DOWN!
OKAY?
JUST LET ME EXPLAIN.
AAH!
LET ME EXPLAIN.
GET OFF OF ME!
STOP! JUST --
GET THE FUCK OFF ME!
SAM.
SAMANTHA.
[ PANTING ]
SAM.
SAM, DON'T DO THIS, OKAY?
JUST LET ME IN THE DOOR.
[ BANGS DOOR ]
OPEN THE FUCKING DOOR.
[ SOBS ]
SAM...
PLEASE,
JUST TALK TO ME, OKAY?
PLEASE, TALK TO ME.
[ TELEPHONE BEEPS ]
[ Dial tone ]
[ TELEPHONE BEEPS ]
SAM, DON'T MAKE
THIS CALL.
PUT THE PHONE DOWN,
OKAY?
YOU MAKE THIS CALL,
AND THERE'S NO GOING BACK.
PUT THE FUCKING PHONE
DOWN, SAM!
[ BREATHES SHAKILY ]
[ SOBS ]
BABY, I KNOW YOUR MIND
IS RUNNING
ABOUT A THOUSAND MILES
A MINUTE,
AND I AM SORRY
THAT YOU HAD TO SEE THIS.
I'M SORRY YOU HAD TO FIND OU THIS WAY, OKAY?
PLEASE, JUST LET ME
TALK YOU THROUGH THIS.
YOU'RE PLANNING ON TALKING ME
THROUGH THIS?!
IF YOU CAN REMAIN CALM
AND BE OPEN TO WHA I HAVE TO SAY, YES.
YOU'VE GOT A STRANGE WHITE WOMAN
TIED UP IN OUR GARAGE!
I UNDERSTAND THAT.
JUST LET ME STAR AT THE BEGINNING
AND TELL YOU
EVERYTHING, OKAY?
DO YOU RAPE THEM?
NO.
NO. GOD, NO.
IT'S NOT LIKE THAT.
THEN WHAT'S IT LIKE,
RICHARD?
IT'S DIFFICULT TO EXPLAIN
IN WORDS.
WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO
WITH THAT WOMAN?
I'M GOING TO KILL HER.
[ WHIMPERS ]
I'M SORRY --
THERE IS A DEMON INSIDE OF ME.
ONE THAT I HAVE FOUGH FOR YEARS --
ONE I THOUGHT I KILLED
AND I BURIED A LONG TIME AGO...
...THE DAY I MET YOU.
'CAUSE YOU SHOWED ME
THAT THERE WAS A LOVE
THAT I NEVER KNEW EXISTED.
THEN WE STARTED
OUR FAMILY, OKAY?
I NEVER THOUGH I'D GO BACK THERE...
BUT IT HIT ME AGAIN...
AND I LOST CONTROL.
SO, WHAT, YOU JUST DECIDED
TO DESTROY OUR FAMILY?!
I DON'T WANT TO DESTROY
OUR FAMILY.
I'D NEVER DO ANYTHING
INTENTIONALLY TO HURT YOU.
I DON'T GIVE A DAMN
ABOUT YOUR INTENTIONS!
I CARE ABOUT YOUR ACTIONS!
[ Voice breaking ]
WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?
OKAY, YOU WANT TO KNOW?
HUH?
A FEW WEEKS AGO,
I'M AT THE JOB SITE,
AND THERE'S
THESE DISGUSTING WHORES
WORKING THE CORNERS,
SHOWING ME THEIR TITS,
TELLING ME TO COME GE WHAT MY WIFE DOESN'T GIVE ME.
YEAH.
YEAH, IT TOOK ME BACK TO A PLACE
THAT I'D LEFT A LONG TIME AGO --
A PLACE THAT I NEVER THOUGH I'D RETURN, BUT I DID.
AND YOU KNOW WHAT?
IT MADE ME WANT TO KILL AGAIN!
SO I FUCKING DID!
SO YOU'RE THE ONE
KILLING ALL THOSE PROSTITUTES?
YES.
YES, I AM.
I'M SORRY.
I KNOW THAT SOUNDS HORRIBLE.
[ DOOR HINGES CREAKING ]
DO YOU SLEEP WITH THEM
BEFORE YOU KILL THEM?
NO, BABY.
DON'T LIE TO ME, RICHARD.
I'M NOT LYING.
I'D NEVER CHEAT ON YOU.
SO THIS ISN'T SOME
SICK SEXUAL FETISH YOU HAVE?
I WOULD NEVER HURT YOU
LIKE THAT. NEVER.
[ SCOFFS ]
BUT YOU'D HURT ME
LIKE THIS?
YOU'D HUR OUR FAMILY LIKE THIS?
Mayfield: ALL RIGHT...
MAYBE IT'S ME.
I'M MISSING SOMETHING.
DID YOU FIND ANYTHING
IN THAT CASE FILE
THAT, UH,
LINKS THESE GIRLS?
NO. [ SIGHS ]
NOTHING.
EXCEP THEY'RE ALL PROSTITUTES.
WHY KILL THEM?
THAT'S WHAT I DON'T UNDERSTAND.
EASY TARGETS.
EASY TO GET AWAY WITH.
YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU CONSIDER
THE NUMBER OF PROSTITUTES
IN THIS CITY
AND THAT EVERY JOHN
THEY'VE BEEN WITH
AND PIMP THEY'VE WORKED FOR
IS A SUSPECT,
THE ODDS ARE CLEARLY
IN THE KILLER'S FAVOR.
MOST OF THESE GIRLS
DON'T EVEN HAVE FAMILY,
AND THE FRIENDS THEY KEEP
ARE OTHER PROSTITUTES
WHO DON'T WANT TO GE INVOLVED.
SOME POLITICIANS
DON'T GIVE A DAMN.
THERE'S NO "MOTHERS AGAINS DEAD PROSTITUTES"
MAKING A STINK.
SO, WHAT?
THIS GUY JUST KILLS THESE GIRLS
BECAUSE IT'S EASY?
WHY NOT? YEAH, MAYBE THAT'S
THE ONLY MOTIVE.
WHAT IF HE'S THAT SICK?
[ CELLPHONE RINGS ]
IT'S JESSE.
YEAH, WHAT HAVE YOU GOT?
OKAY.
OKAY. GOOD.
YEAH, YOU GOT A FAVOR
ON THE BOOKS.
YOU BE SAFE.
WHAT YOU GOT?
THERE IS A SERVICE OPERATED
BY A PIMP OUT OF PHILLY.
HE COMES DOWN EVERY WEEKEND
WITH A GROUP OF GIRLS,
SETS THEM UP AT A MOTEL
SOMEWHERE OFF ROUTE 40,
AND THEN HE USES ONLINE
CHAT ROOMS AND WEBSITES
TO SET THEM UP
WITH THEIR DATES.
A FEW OF THE VICTIMS
HAD PRIORS IN PHILLY.
YEAH, BUT HE OPERATES THIS
LOCALLY, AS WELL.
HE SETS THE GIRLS UP
AT PUBS, CLUBS,
CASINOS, HOTELS, MOTELS --
EVERYWHERE.
THERE'S THE VARIETY.
YEAH, BUT IF YOU'RE A PIMP,
YOU'RE GONNA KNOW
IF Y-YOUR GIRLS ARE
GOING MISSING, FOR GOD'S SAKE.
ALL RIGHT.
LET'S THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX.
WHAT IF HE'S LESS OF A PIMP
AND MORE OF AN AGENT?
OKAY.
OPERATES OUT OF SEVERAL CITIES
WITH SEVERAL HUNDRED GIRLS.
NUMBERS GAME.
SO, HE'S RUNNING A HUGE SYSTEM
OF PROSTITUTION
UP AND DOWN
THE EAST COAST.
IF HE LOSES A GIRL
HERE OR THERE,
HE DOESN'T EVEN NOTICE.
BECAUSE IT'S A NETWORK.
I'VE WANTED TO TELL YOU
FOR SO LONG.
KEEPING A SECRET FROM YOU
IS HELL ON ME.
WHY DIDN'T YOU COME TO ME
WHEN THE URGES RETURNED?
BEFORE YOU STARTED
MURDERING WOMEN?
I CONTROLLED THE URGES
AT FIRST.
YOU KNOW, THEY'D COME AND GO,
AND I DEAL WITH THEM MYSELF.
THEN ONE DAY,
I WAS LEAVING WORK,
AND ONE OF THEM WHORES
WALKED UP TO MY CAR WINDOW.
THEN WHAT?
SHE TOLD ME I COULD FUCK HER
FOR $20.
WHAT HAPPENED NEXT?
I, UM...
I GRABBED HER.
UM...
SHOW ME.
WHAT?
IF I'VE BEEN MARRIED TO
A MONSTER AFTER ALL THESE YEARS,
I WANT TO SEE IT.
I'M NOT A MONSTER.
MAYBE AT TIMES, I CAN BE,
OR PART OF ME CAN BE.
THEN SHOW ME
THAT PART OF YOU.
I DON'T WANT YOU
TO SEE THAT.
SHOW ME.
NO.
SHOW ME!
I DON'T WANT YOU
TO SEE IT.
SHOW --
I GRABBED THAT CUNT WHORE
BY THE BACK OF THE HEAD,
DRAGGED HER ASS
INTO MY CAR,
DROVE DOWN THE ROAD
AT 60 MILES PER HOUR
AS I BASHED HER FUCKING HEAD
INTO THE DASHBOARD!
AND THEN I PULLED OVER,
SNAPPED HER NECK
LIKE A FUCKING TWIG...
[ GASPING ]
...AND LEFT HER ASS
ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD.
[ INHALES DEEPLY ]
[ COUGHS ]
[ SIGHS ]
I CAN'T IMAGINE
WHAT YOU THINK OF ME.
ALL I CAN DO IS BEG
FOR YOUR FORGIVENESS.
HOW CAN I EVEN CONTEMPLATE
FORGIVING YOU...
OR EVEN
UNDERSTANDING YOU...
WHEN I DON'T EVEN KNOW
WHO YOU ARE?
DON'T SAY THAT.
YOU'RE THE ONLY ONE
IN THIS WORLD
THAT TRULY KNOWS WHO I AM.
WE'VE BEEN TOGETHER
SINCE WE WERE 18 YEARS OLD.
I HAVE NEVER LOVED ANYONE
OR ANYTHING
AS MUCH AS I LOVE YOU
AND OUR TWO KIDS.
HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO
FEEL NOW, HUH?
HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO
REACT?
HOW DO I GO ON
FROM THIS?
I NEED YOU.
I NEED YOU TO HELP ME.
GOD, THIS CAN'T BE
HAPPENING.
NOW ALL WE HAVE TO DO
IS FIGURE OUT WHICH ROOMS.
I HOPE WE'RE NO TOO LATE.
Jesse: YEP.
'CAUSE IF HE ALREADY
HAS HER...
[ SIGHS ]
WELL,
THEN SHE'S ALREADY DEAD.
OR CLOSE TO IT.
[ SIGHS ]
I THINK WE FOUND
OUR ROOM.
I-I KNOW YOU'RE AFRAID.
I AM MORE THAN JUST AFRAID.
I AM SCARED TO DEATH.
TONIGHT WAS GONNA BE
THE LAST NIGHT.
THIS WAS GONNA BE
THE LAST GIRL, I SWEAR.
HOW CAN YOU SWEAR
TO ANYTHING
WHEN YOU SAY YOU CAN'T EVEN
CONTROL IT YOURSELF?
THAT'S WHY
I BROUGHT HER HERE.
I-I KNEW
I NEEDED TO DO SOMETHING
THAT WOULD HIT ME
IN THE FACE --
SOMETHING TO MAKE THIS REAL,
SOMETHING TO HIT HOME.
WHY?
I DIDN'T HAVE THE STRENGTH
TO TELL YOU, AND...
I HAD TO DO SOMETHING THAT WOULD
TRIGGER ME TO WANT TO CHANGE.
NO.
NO -- WHY DO YOU
KILL PROSTITUTES?
WHY DO YOU HATE THEM
SO MUCH?
[ SIGHS ]
THANK YOU, MISS.
YOU BE SAFE, OKAY?
I WANT YOU TO GET US A ROOM.
THAT CORNER ROOM
OR ONE LIKE IT.
THEN SPEAK TO
THE OTHER GIRL IN 115.
I'LL BE IN TOUCH
WITH STREET CRIMES
AND GET US
SURVEILLANCE ASSISTANCE.
AND YOU'LL TELL DISPATCH TO KEEP
LOCAL UNITS OUT OF HERE
SO THEY DON' SPOOK ANYONE.
LISTEN, DON'T I.D. YOURSELF
FOR THE HOTEL CLERK.
WHY?
WELL, OUR KILLER
COULD CALL FIRST,
PRETEND TO BE
POLICE DISPATCH,
AND INQUIRE ABOUT THE OFFICERS
WORKING TONIGHT.
IT'S AN OLD TRICK
TO SPOT SURVEILLANCE.
RIGHT, AND THE CLERK,
KNOWING NO BETTER
JUST PASSES HIM STRAIGH THROUGH TO OUR ROOM.
I GET IT.
HE'S BEEN BETTER THAN US
EVERY STEP OF THE WAY.
LET'S BE BETTER
THAN HIM TONIGHT.
THERE ARE THINGS YOU DON'T KNOW
ABOUT MY CHILDHOOD...
...THINGS I'M AFRAID
TO TELL YOU.
Samantha: I KNOW YOU HAD
A TOUGH LIFE GROWING UP --
BOUNCING AROUND
FROM FOSTER HOMES.
CAN'T IMAGINE WHAT HELL
THAT WAS LIKE.
BUT YOU KNOW
HOW MUCH I LOVE YOU.
YOU CAN TELL ME ANYTHING.
EVERYTHING ABOUT ME
IS A LIE.
WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?
I'VE LIED SO OFTEN,
I DON'T --
I DON'T KNOW
WHAT THE TRUTH IS ANYMORE.
LIES ABOUT WHO I AM,
WHERE I'M FROM.
I CAN'T KEEP TRACK.
JUST TELL ME EVERYTHING,
OKAY?
I CAN'T HELP YOU UNLESS I KNOW
WHAT'S GOING ON INSIDE YOU.
MAKE ME UNDERSTAND.
I DIDN'T GROW UP
IN FOSTER HOMES.
I WOULD'VE BEEN
BETTER OFF IF I DID.
BUT I MET YOUR FOSTER PARENTS
IN COLLEGE.
NO,
I JUST CALLED THEM THAT.
THEY WERE A COUPLE TEACHERS
FROM HIGH SCHOOL
WHO TOOK INTEREST IN ME,
HELPED ME THROUGH COLLEGE.
WHAT ABOU YOUR REAL FAMILY?
MY MOM WAS A STRIPPER...
AND MY DAD WAS JUST SOME DUDE
PASSING THROUGH DALLAS.
I DID ASK HER ONCE,
YOU KNOW [CHUCKLES]
"WHY NOT JUST ABORT ME?
IT'D HAVE BEEN EASIER."
WHAT'D SHE SAY?
JESUS TOLD HER NOT TO.
DID SHE GO BACK TO STRIPPING
AFTER YOU WERE BORN?
NOT MUCH ELSE SHE COULD DO.
SINGLE MOTHER,
HIGH-SCHOOL DROPOUT --
WHAT ELSE IS THERE?
THAT'S A TOUGH WAY
TO RAISE A KID.
THEN, WHEN I'M 8 YEARS OLD,
AFTER A STRING
OF ASSHOLE BOYFRIENDS,
SHE MEETS DARNELL --
IN A.A., OF ALL PLACES.
SHE WAS A DRUNK?
HARD TO TAKE OFF
ALL YOUR CLOTHES
FOR A BUNCH OF STRANGE MEN.
WHAT STARTED OU AS MEDICINE FOR HER SHIF BECAME MEDICINE FOR LIFE.
BUT SHE DECIDED
TO GET HELP, THOUGH.
[ CHUCKLES ]
NO. NO.
SHE GOT POPPED
FOR HER THIRD D.U.I.
IT WAS COURT-ORDERED A.A.
AND...
DARNELL WAS A RECOVERING
ALCOHOLIC SHE MET IN A.A.?
NO.
HE WAS THE FUCKING ANTICHRIST.
NO, HE WAS
THIS DRUG-PUSHING PIMP
THAT LIKED TO HAWK
N.A. AND A.A. MEETINGS,
LOOKING FOR YOUNG GIRLS,
YOUNG PROSPECTS,
ONES THAT WERE
TRYING TO GET HELP.
YOU KNOW, ONES LOOKING
TO BETTER THEMSELVES,
EXCEPT HE WANTED
TO INTRODUCE THEM
TO A WORLD OF CRACK COCAINE
AND DISGUSTING MEN.
THIS IS EARLY '80s, SO NO ONE
KNEW ABOUT CRACK COCAINE THEN.
NO ONE KNEW HOW THAT SNAKE BIT,
AND IT BIT MY MOM HARD.
'CAUSE SHE'D HAVE BEEN
BETTER OFF TO DIE
THE FIRST TIME SHE EVER STUCK
THAT GLASS COCK IN HER MOUTH,
BUT SHE DIDN'T.
NO, THAT POISON JUST KILLED HER
A LITTLE BIT EVERY DAY,
BIT BY BIT, ROCK BY ROCK.
THEN, ONE DAY, I'M 14 YEARS OLD,
AND I COME HOME FROM SCHOOL,
AND THERE'S 10 DUDES
LINED UP TAKING TURNS
ON MY MOM
IN THE LIVING ROOM.
DARNELL --
HE'S SITTING ON MY BEANBAG,
EATING CHICKEN TENDERS,
LOOKS UP AT ME AND SAYS,
"HEY, LITTLE MAN,
I GOT YOU A CHEESEBURGER,
"BUT I ATE YOUR FRIES.
I ATE YOUR FRIES."
THAT'S WHAT HE SAYS.
AND THEN MY --
I LOOKED DOWN,
MY MOM'S GETTING RAMMED
BY SOME FAT JHERI-CURL
MOTHERFUCKER.
SHE SAYS TO ME,
"HEY, BABY, GET MY CRACK PIPE.
GET ME MY CRACK PIPE."
[ SCOFFS ]
SO I DID.
I WALKED OVER TO THE COUNTER,
AND I GOT THE CRACK PIPE.
I WALKED BACK OVER
TO MY MAMA --
FAT FUCK, HE'S STILL
GOING TO TOWN ON HER.
I PUT IT IN HER MOUTH
AND LIGHT IT,
WATCH HER INGEST IT DEEP INSIDE,
EYES ROLL
IN THE BACK OF HER HEAD
AS SHE JUST DRIFTS AWAY.
[ INHALES DEEPLY ]
AND THEN I PULLED OU A .38 PISTOL
I STOLE FROM DARNELL'S HOUSE,
AND I SHOT MY MOTHER
RIGHT BETWEEN THE EYES,
TURNED AROUND, SHOT THA FAT FUCK TWICE IN THE CHEST,
AND OLD DARNELL
LAUNCHES AT ME,
AND I SHOOT THAT MOTHERFUCKER
RIGHT IN THE MOUTH.
COPS HAD TO PULL HIS TEETH
OUT OF THE DRYWALL.
GOD, IT MAKES ME FEEL GOOD!
BABY, I...
I HAD NO IDEA.
WHY DIDN'T YOU
TELL ME THIS BEFORE?
I COULD'VE HELPED YOU.
WE COULD'VE
GONE THROUGH THIS TOGETHER.
SAM, YOU DID HELP ME.
YOU'VE DONE NOTHING
BUT LOVE ME.
ME -- YOU GAVE ME THE GREATES GIFT IN THIS ENTIRE WORLD
WITH OUR TWO
BEAUTIFUL CHILDREN.
I LET THIS HATE
MANIFEST INSIDE OF ME.
I LET EVIL WIN.
NOT YOU.
I DID THIS.
BUT IT DOESN'T HAVE TO
WIN TONIGHT.
Woman:
[ MUFFLED SHOUTING ]
WE SHOULD GO CHECK ON HER,
MAKE SURE SHE'S OKAY.
I'M GONNA BRING HER
SOME WATER.
NO.
NO, I NEED TO
TAKE CARE OF THIS.
I WANT TO BRING HER
SOME WATER.
I WANT TO MAKE SURE
SHE'S OKAY.
WE ARE NOT GONNA HUR THIS GIRL.
YEAH.
YEAH, LOOK,
I UNDERSTAND THAT, SIR, BUT --
I KNOW YOU NEED OUR CAPTAIN'S
APPROVAL, SIR,
BUT HE'S NOT AVAILABLE
TO GIVE IT,
AND WE NEED THOSE EXTRA
SURVEILLANCE UNITS
AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
WE'VE LEFT WORD,
AND SO HAS DISPATCH.
[ SIGHS ]
ALL RIGHT.
LET ME KNOW.
[ CELLPHONE BEEPS ]
HE'S WORKING ON IT.
YEAH, I'M SURE HE IS.
WE GOT FOUR GIRLS
WHO COME IN FROM PHILLY.
TWO WORK STRIP CLUBS
EVERY WEEKEND,
AND TWO WORK HOTELS.
RIGHT.
AND ONE GIRL USES A SERVICE
TO SET UP HER DATES ONLINE,
AND SHE'S GO SOME REGULARS.
NOW, OUR GIRL IN 115
SET UP HER DATE HERSELF.
SHE DIDN'T -- SHE DIDN' USE THE SERVICE.
RIGHT -- I MEAN, THE WEBSITE'S
RUN BY THE SERVICE,
BUT TONIGHT'S DATE,
SHE...
YEAH, SHE MADE THA HERSELF.
AND IT DIDN'T BOTHER HER
TO HAVE TO TRAVEL TO HIM?
NO. WHY WOULD IT?
SHE'S TRAVELED A HUNDRED TIMES
BEFORE WITH THE SERVICE.
AND, YOU KNOW WHAT?
SHE PROBABLY TIED IN
A FEE, AS WELL.
AND NONE OF THESE GIRLS
KNOW EACH OTHER?
WELL,
THE GIRL IN 115 SAID
SHE RECOGNIZED
ONE OF THE GIRLS IN THE VAN,
BUT SHE JUST WENT ON
TO A CLUB DOWNTOWN.
AND THE FRIEND THAT USUALLY
TRAVELS WITH HER
THIS TIME DID NOT.
NOT TONIGHT, NO.
SHE BOOKED A SEPARATE DATE
AND LEFT BY TRAIN IN
THE EARLY HOURS THIS MORNING.
SHE SAY WHERE?
YEAH, SHE DID.
UM...NEWARK.
IT'S STARTING TO MAKE
A LITTLE SENSE.
THESE GIRLS
SEE JOBS POSTED ONLINE
FOR A SHIT-TON OF MONEY
FOR A NON-SEXUAL ENCOUNTER.
AND "NON-SEXUAL ENCOUNTER"
USUALLY MEANS NICE OLD MEN
WHO CAN'T GET IT UP ANYMORE
WHO'VE GOT A LOT OF MONEY
TO PAY FOR WOMEN BECAUSE
THEY'RE YOUNG AND HOT.
WHAT HARD-UP WORKING GIRL
WOULD SAY NO?
NOT MANY.
BUT, OF COURSE,
THEY HAVE NO IDEA
HOW EASY THEY'RE MAKING I FOR HIM.
HE DAMN SURE KNOWS HOW HARD
HE'S MAKING IT FOR US.
YOU CAN COUNT ON THAT.
[ SNIFFLES ]
[ WHIMPERING ]
[ INHALES DEEPLY ]
[ PANTING ]
OH, PLEASE, HELP ME.
PLEASE, I GOT A KID.
I HAVE A LITTLE BOY.
PLEASE, DON'T HURT ME.
Samantha:
NO, NO, IT'S OKAY.
PLEASE.
IT'S OKAY.
NO, NO, NOBODY'S
GONNA HURT YOU, OKAY?
MY -- MY WRISTS REALLY HURT.
CAN YOU UNTIE ME?
[ SNIFFLES ]
YEAH, SURE.
THANKS.
[ PANTING ]
Richard: STOP.
NO.
NO, SHE'S BEEN DOWN HERE
FOR HOURS, AND HER WRISTS HURT.
STOP DOING THAT.
MISTER, PLEASE.
I WON'T SAY A WORD.
PLEASE. PLEA--
SHUT YOUR MOUTH
BEFORE I SHUT IT FOR YOU.
OH, NO, YOU WILL NOT.
YOU ARE NO GONNA HURT THIS GIRL.
LOOK AT ME, RICHARD.
[ SNAPS FINGERS ]
LOOK AT ME.
NOT THIS ONE, OKAY?
YOU'RE GONNA LE THIS ONE GO.
NO.
IF YOU LOVE OUR FAMILY,
YOU HAVE TO LET HER GO.
IT IS BECAUSE I LOVE OUR FAMILY
THAT I WILL NOT LET HER GO.
SHE'S NOT GONNA
SAY ANYTHING.
I-I PROMISE.
I-I-I'LL DISAPPEAR.
YOU'LL NEVER HEAR FROM ME AGAIN.
I'LL BE GONE.
PLEASE, NO! PLEASE!
[ WHIMPERING ]
Shh!
LOOK. HEY. HEY.
LOOK AT ME.
YOU KNOW SHE'LL TELL.
WITHIN HOURS
OF LETTING HER GO,
THE COPS WILL KNOCK DOWN
THAT DOOR
AND TAKE ME AWAY FOREVER.
YOU'LL HAVE TO SPEND
WHAT SAVINGS WE HAVE
TO KEEP ME OFF DEATH ROW.
YOU'LL HAVE TO SELL THIS HOUSE,
EVERYTHING WE OWN,
CHANGE YOUR NAME,
MOVE AWAY.
EVERYTHING WE'VE BUILT,
ALL THAT WE HAVE,
WILL BE GONE
HOURS AFTER I LET HER GO.
[ Voice breaking ]
SO, WHAT ARE YOU SAYING?
THAT THE ONLY OPTION WE HAVE
IS TO KILL HER?
THE ONLY OPTION I HAVE
IS TO KILL HER.
HOW DO YOU PLAN
ON DOING IT, HUH?
HOW DO YOU KILL THEM?
HOW WERE YOU
PLANNING ON...
DISPOSING OF HER BODY
BEFORE I GOT HOME?
TELL ME THAT, MY LOVE...
MY WONDERFUL HUSBAND...
...MY BEST FRIEND.
I'M GOING TO STRANGLE HER
WITH A BELT.
I'LL THEN TAKE HER BODY
TO THE BACK OF THE PROPERTY,
RUN HER THROUGH
THE WOOD CHIPPER.
THEN I'LL COLLEC WHAT'S LEFT OF HER,
PLACE I INTO A GARBAGE BAG,
AND LATER, WHEN I GO
TO PICK UP THE KIDS,
I'LL THROW IT IN A DUMPSTER
BEHIND D.J.'s PIZZA.
[ SOBS, SNIFFLES ]
YOU ARE NOT THIS PERSON.
I'VE LOVED YOU
MY ENTIRE ADULT LIFE,
AND...
AND THIS ISN'T YOU.
THE MAN I LOVE...
THE MAN WHO LOVES ME...
...HE WOULDN'T THINK
THESE THINGS.
HE WOULDN'T...
HE WOULDN'T DO
THESE HORRIBLE THINGS.
WE ALL HAVE A DARK SIDE.
YOU'RE JUST NOW
SEEING MINE.
I'M TRYING TO HELP YOU,
BUT YOU GOT TO HELP YOURSELF.
NO, I WARNED YOU
IT WOULD BE LIKE THIS
IF YOU GOT CARRIED AWAY
WITH THIS SHIT.
ARE YOU EVEN
FUCKING LISTENING TO ME?!
MONICA -- NO, DON'T DO THAT.
NO, DON'T DO IT.
DON'T BE SO FUCKING STUPID.
DON'T DO IT.
FUCK!
[ CLATTERING ]
[ SIGHS ]
[ SIGHS ]
[ EXHALES SHARPLY ]
YOU ALL RIGHT?
I'M FINE.
HOW LONG HAS THA BEEN AN ISSUE?
[ SCOFFS ]
WHAT?
I THOUGHT WE SAID
WE WERE GONNA CUT THE SHIT.
[ SIGHS ]
A WHILE NOW.
THAT'S WHY YOU LEF NARCOTICS?
SHE GOT LOCKED UP
IN THAT WHOLE PHARMACY MESS,
AND NO ONE REALLY WANTED
TO TRUST ME AFTER THAT.
THEY FIGURED
YOUR WIFE'S ON DOPE,
SO YOU MUST BE, AS WELL --
THAT IT?
[ SIGHS ]
I GUESS SO.
ARE YOU?
[ SCOFFS ]
ARE YOU STILL FUCKING
YOUR INFORMANTS?
NOT SINCE I MARRIED ONE.
I'M SORRY.
THAT WAS OUT OF LINE.
I KNOW IT WAS.
I'M SORRY.
THAT'S WHY YOU WANTED
TO PARTNER WITH ME, ISN'T IT?
WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
YOU FIGURED I'D KNOW WHAT IT IS
TO WALK IN YOUR SHOES A LITTLE.
I'D GIVE YOU ROOM,
NOT ASK TOO MANY QUESTIONS
OR JUDGE TOO HARSHLY.
[ CHUCKLES ]
IF I WERE IN YOUR SHOES...
...I'D HAVE DONE
THE SAME THING.
[ SIGHS ]
EVERYBODY HAS SECRETS.
EVERYBODY MAKES MISTAKES.
IT'S HOW WE DEAL WITH THEM
THAT DETERMINES WHO WE ARE.
THE KEY IS TO LIMI MISTAKES OF CHARACTER.
AND AS THE ONE MAN I KNOW
WHO WALKED THIS EARTH
SIN-FREE ONCE SAID,
"DON'T JUDGE
UNLESS YOU WANT TO BE JUDGED."
I WON'T JUDGE YOU.
WELL,
FOR WHAT IT'S WORTH...
I ASKED IF I COULD
PARTNER WITH YOU
BECAUSE I HEARD YOU WERE
THE BEST DETECTIVE THERE WAS.
CAPTAIN WANTS TO PULL ME
OFF THE CASE.
SAYS I'M MAKING IT PERSONAL.
ARE YOU?
I DON'T CARE WHAT PEOPLE SAY
BEHIND MY BACK,
AND I DON'T CARE
WHAT THE CAPTAIN THINKS.
MY WIFE WAS MY INFORMANT.
SHE WAS A PROSTITUTE.
I KNEW RIGHT AWAY
SHE DIDN'T WANT THAT LIFE.
SHE WAS NEW TO THIS COUNTRY,
COULD BARELY SPEAK THE LANGUAGE,
HAD NO JOB SKILLS.
SHE NEEDED HELP.
WE BECAME FRIENDS,
AND WE FELL IN LOVE,
AND I'M NOT ASHAMED
TO ADMIT THAT.
I'M NOT ASHAMED ONE BIT.
WE'VE BEEN MARRIED FOR 10 YEARS.
WE'VE GOT THREE BEAUTIFUL KIDS.
AND SHE GETS ME.
[ CHUCKLES ]
SHE GETS ME.
[ SIGHS ] SO, YOU'RE DAMN RIGHT.
IT IS PERSONAL.
NO ONE DESERVES
WHAT'S HAPPENING TO THESE GIRLS.
NO ONE.
YOU KNOW THIS IS WRONG,
RIGHT?
I NEVER SAID
IT WAS RIGHT...
BUT IT'S JUST.
[ SCOFFS ]
NO, LOVE IS JUST.
LOVE CAN'T MAKE SOMEONE
CHANGE WHAT THEY ARE.
MAYBE NOT.
BUT IF YOU
LOVE SOMEONE ENOUGH,
MAYBE THEY'LL
WANT TO CHANGE.
I LOVED MY MOM
MORE THAN ANYTHING.
SOMEONE'S LOVED
THESE GIRLS.
THAT'S NOT WHAT MAKES THEM
CHOOSE THE LIFESTYLE.
THEY CHOOSE I BECAUSE THEY ARE WEAK.
WELL...
WELL, MAYBE,
IF YOU LET HER GO...
...AND SHE SEES
YOUR KINDNESS AND TRUST...
...IT'LL CHANGE HER LIFE.
MAYBE SHE'LL
BECOME STRONG.
AND MAYBE SHE'LL DECIDE
TO CHANGE WHO SHE IS.
AND MAYBE SHE GOES TO THE COPS,
AND WE LOSE IT ALL.
NO. NO.
I DON'T THINK SHE WILL.
IS IT WORTH THE RISK?
AT THE END OF THE DAY,
IS SHE WORTH THE RISK --
TO LOSE EVERYTHING
BECAUSE YOU BELIEVE
SHE'S GONNA CHANGE
WHAT SHE IS?
SHE'S A WHORE, AND SHE'S ALWAYS
GONNA BE A WHORE.
DON'T TALK LIKE THAT.
YOU DON'T THINK
HAVING HER DOWN HERE,
PLANNING TO DO WHAT YOU'RE GONNA
DO TO HER IS ENOUGH?
YOU GOT TO THROW INSULTS
AT HER?
YOU DON'T THINK SHE KNOWS
WHO SHE IS?
YOU THINK,
AS SHE SITS HERE...
...AND SHE LISTENS
TO THAT GARBAGE,
SHE'S FORGETTING
WHAT GOT HER HERE?
NOT FOR ONE SECOND.
I BET SHE HASN' STOPPED THINKING ABOUT IT.
I BET YOU THAT,
AS SHE SITS HERE,
AND SHE PRAYS TO A GOD
SHE MAY OR MAY NOT BELIEVE IN...
TO SPARE HER LIFE SO SHE CAN
GET BACK TO HER LITTLE BOY.
SHE'S PROMISING HIM THA SHE'S GONNA CHANGE HER LIFE...
...AND SHE'S GONNA
GET OFF THE STREETS...
...AND SHE'S GONNA
GET OFF THE DRUGS.
SHE'S GONNA
TURN HER LIFE AROUND.
I BET YOU...
THAT SHE HAS MADE JUST ABOU EVERY PROMISE THAT THERE IS.
HAVEN'T YOU?
[ SNIFFLES ]
I KNOW YOU HAVE.
'CAUSE I'VE BEEN PRAYING
FOR THE SAME THING.
DON'T YOU SIT THERE
AND TELL ME
THAT THIS GIRL'S
GONNA GO TO THE POLICE.
NO, PEOPLE
ARE BROUGHT TO THE LIGH IN SO MANY DIFFERENT WAYS.
[ CHUCKLES ]
MAYBE -- MAYBE THE BLESSING
IN DISGUISE HERE IS THAT, UH --
IS THAT YOU BROUGHT HER
TO THE LIGHT...
THAT WE'VE, TOGETHER,
LED HER TO THE LIGHT.
Richard:
YOU ARE SO BEAUTIFUL.
ALWAYS THE PROTECTOR.
ALWAYS THE MOTHER.
[ WHIMPERS ]
MAYBE SHE NEVER HAD ANYONE
STAND UP FOR HER.
NO MOM OR DAD
TO SHOW HER THE WAY.
MAYBE SHE DID,
AND SHE SAID,
"FUCK IT. I WANT TO
GET HIGH AND WHORE."
OW.
DON'T EVER
DO THAT AGAIN.
LET GO OF ME.
I AM NOT SAYING THESE THINGS
TO BE MEAN.
I AM CALLING HER
WHAT SHE IS
SO YOU CAN WRAP YOUR HEAD
AROUND THE FAC THAT SHE IS TRASH.
[ Voice breaking ]
YOU'RE HURTING ME.
OW!
DO YOU WANT TO LOSE YOUR HOME
TO FILTH?
NO, BUT I DON'T THINK
WE HAVE TO LOSE ANYTHING.
[ WHIMPERS ]
COME TAKE A LOOK
AT THIS GUY.
[ SIGHS ]
ANY MENTION OF WHAT VEHICLE
HE'D BE DRIVING?
NO, HE JUST TELLS HER TO POS WHAT ROOM SHE'S IN ONLINE.
UNITS AREN' IN POSITION YET.
I CAN'T MAKE OU HIS TAGS.
THIS COULD BE HIM.
HE'S NERVOUS.
DOES THAT SURPRISE YOU?
OUR KILLER IS CONFIDENT.
THIS GUY IS NOT.
YEAH, WELL, HE'S GUILTY
OF SOMETHING.
CALL THE FRONT DESK
AND SEE IF SOMEONE
JUST CALLED IN FOR 115.
[ CELLPHONE BEEPING ]
[ Ringing ]
COME ON...
THEY'RE NOT ANSWERING.
WHAT'S HE UP TO?
[ ENGINE TURNS OVER ]

WHERE'D HE GO?
I HAVE NO IDEA.
LET'S TAKE THIS LEFT.
ALL RIGHT.
LET'S TAKE A RIGH INTO THIS GAS STATION COMING UP.
COULD BE BEHIND
THE GAS STATION.
LET'S GO RIGH RIGHT HERE.
OKAY. SLOW DOWN. WHERE IS HE?
WHERE'D THE SON OF A BITCH GO?

WHERE IS HE? WHERE IS HE?
WHERE IS HE?
WHAT THE FUCK?
THAT'S HIM.
THERE HE IS.

DON'T FREAK HIM.
[ STATIC CRACKLES ]
OKAY, CAN WE RUN THIS PLATE?
NEW JERSEY PLATE...
WHAT THE HELL IS HE DOING?
...ZHB-52M.
OKAY, LET'S NO SPOOK HIM.

OKAY, HE'S PARKING IT UP.
HOLD BACK. HOLD BACK.
OH, JESUS.
OH, DEAR GOD.
[ CHUCKLES ]
[ CHUCKLES ]
YOU GOT TO BE KIDDING ME.
YOU'RE THE SHEEP,
AND I'M THE WOLF.
MAKES US PERFEC FOR ONE ANOTHER.
SHEEP NOURISHES THE FAMILY.
THE WOLF PROTECTS IT.
YEAH, BUT YOU'RE NO PROTECTING US RIGHT NOW.
YOU'RE PUTTING US
IN DANGER.
YEAH, BUT I'M GONNA
FIX IT.
[ INHALES DEEPLY ]
[ EXHALES DEEPLY ]
BABY...
DON'T DO THIS.
I LOVE YOU.
I LOVE YOU, TOO.
THAT'S WHY
I GOT TO DO IT.
STOP IT!
[ MUFFLED SCREAMING ]
STOP IT RIGHT NOW!
RICHARD, SHE CAN'T BREATHE!
STOP IT, OR I'M LEAVING,
AND I'M NEVER COMING BACK!
STOP IT!
YOU CAN NEVER LEAVE ME.
THEN YOU BETTER
START LISTENING TO ME.
ALL I WANT TO DO
IS FIX THIS, BABY.
OKAY, OKAY,
BUT THAT STARTS
BY US MAKING
GOOD DECISIONS TOGETHER.
THIS IS WHAT YOU WANT?
YEAH.
OKAY.
BUT I NEED YOU
TO MAKE ME A PROMISE.
ANYTHING.
WHEN THEY COME FOR ME,
AND THEY WILL COME...
I WANT YOU TO KILL ME.
WHAT?
YEAH.
I WANT YOU TO TAKE MY GUN,
PLACE IT AGAINST MY TEMPLE,
AND BLOW
MY FUCKING BRAINS OUT.
YOU'RE CRAZY.
WHY WOULD YOU SAY
SOMETHING LIKE THAT?
BECAUSE THE LAST THING
I WANT TO SEE IN THIS WORLD...
IS YOUR BEAUTIFUL SMILE.
YOU'RE BEING INSANE.
[ PANTING ]
I AM TRYING TO
HOLD IT TOGETHER HERE,
BUT I...I CAN'T.
I'M LOSING MY MIND,
AND YOU ARE OUT OF CONTROL.
LOOK, SAM,
JUST CALM DOWN, OKAY?
DON'T YOU TELL ME
TO CALM DOWN!
YOU WANT TO SEE
A SHEEP BECOME A WOLF?
TELL ME
TO CALM DOWN AGAIN.
BABY, ALL I'M TRYING
TO SAY --
DON'T YOU "BABY" ME.
I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE TRYING
TO PULL HERE.
I KNOW
WHAT YOU'RE DOING.
I'M NOT TRYING
TO PULL ANYTHING.
OH, WE LET HER GO,
AND I END UP KILLING YOU?
ARE YOU SERIOUS?
YOU'RE DAMN RIGH I'M SERIOUS.
OH, JUST WHEN I THINK
YOU CAN'T PUSH ME
ANY FURTHER OVER THE EDGE --
BAM! -- YOU SOMEHOW MANAGE.
WELL, I'M NOT GOING
TO PRISON,
AND I'M NOT PUTTING
YOU AND THE KIDS THROUGH A TRIAL
AND THE MEDIA FRENZY
THAT FOLLOWS.
DON'T YOU DO THAT.
DON'T YOU DARE PULL
OUR KIDS INTO THIS,
YOU SELFISH BASTARD.
I'M TRYING TO BE UNSELFISH.
WHAT I'M SAYING TO YOU
IS I'D RATHER DIE
THAN PUT YOU THROUGH HELL.
THERE IS NO ONE PART OF THIS SCENARIO
THAT DOESN' PUT US THROUGH HELL.
DON'T YOU SEE THAT?
YES, THERE IS.
YOU'RE THE ONE
THAT'S NOT SEEING IT.
OH, YEAH.
YEAH, I'M SORRY.
I-I FORGOT.
THERE'S THAT ONE SCENARIO
WHERE YOU KILL AN INNOCENT GIRL
IN OUR GARAGE
AND RUN HER BODY
THROUGH A WOOD CHIPPER!
THERE AIN'T ONE ASPEC OF THAT BITCH THAT IS INNOCENT.
ARE ANY OF US
REALLY INNOCENT, RICHARD?
YEAH, MY KIDS ARE.
AND THEY DON'T DESERVE
TO PAY FOR MY MISTAKES.
THEY DESERVE TO BE HAPPY.
THEY DESERVE TO HAVE A CHANCE
AT A HAPPY LIFE.
AND THEY WILL HAVE ONE.
NOT IF SHE GOES TO THE COPS.
SHE WON'T.
[ CHUCKLES ]
GET THIS THROUGH
YOUR THICK SKULL --
SHE DIES HERE TONIGHT!
[ KNOCK ON DOOR ]
[ KNOCKS ON DOOR ]
THERE'S A COP
AT THE DOOR.
[ SIGHS ]
BABY,
WHAT ARE WE GONNA DO?
ALL RIGHT, JUST RELAX.
[ SIGHS ]
WHAT ARE THEY DOING HERE?
ARE YOU SURE SOMEBODY
DIDN'T SEE YOU PICK HER UP?
NO ONE SAW ME DO ANYTHING.
HOW CAN YOU BE SO SURE?
WHAT DO THEY WANT?
IT'S 9:00 ON A FRIDAY NIGHT.
CRAZY MR. HARRIS
CALLED ME THIS WEEK,
AND HE SAID HE WAS
REQUESTING EXTRA PATROLS.
SOMETHING ABOUT VANDALISMS
OR SOMETHING. I DON'T KNOW.
I'M SURE THEY'RE JUST HERE
TO ASK SOME QUESTIONS.
HOW DO YOU KNOW
THEY'RE NOT HERE FOR YOU?
BECAUSE IF THEY WERE
HERE FOR ME,
THEY WOULDN'T KNOCK ON THE DOOR
WITH ONE GUY.
THEY'D KNOCK DOWN THE DOOR
WITH 10.
[ KNOCK ON DOOR ]
JUST GO WAI IN THE BEDROOM, OKAY?
I'LL HANDLE IT.
HELLO, CAPTAIN,
THIS IS MAYFIELD.
I'VE BEEN TRYING TO REACH YOU.
WATCH COMMANDER
WILL NOT APPROVE OVERTIME
WITHOUT YOUR PERSONAL OKAY.
PLEASE GIVE ME A CALL
WHEN YOU CAN.
THANK YOU. BYE-BYE.
[ CELLPHONE RINGS ]
[ CELLPHONE BEEPS ]
YEAH?
NO. NOTHING.
SHE'S BEEN IN THAT CHAT ROOM
THAT SHE MET HIM IN.
POSTED A FEW MESSAGES,
BUT THE ONLY HITS HAVE COME FROM
REGULARS BACK IN PHILLY.
THAT'S STRANGE.
WHAT TIME WAS HE SUPPOSED TO
PICK HER UP?
NEVER GAVE AN EXACT TIME.
JUST SAID SOME POIN AFTER 7:00.
LISTEN,
I'M GONNA RUN THESE TAGS
AND CROSS-REFERENCE THEM
WITH THE DATABASE.
Well, then let's have her
post something
saying she's
tired of waiting,
and she's going back to Philly
if he doesn't come soon.
YEAH -- I THINK SHE'S GONNA
START TO DETOX SOON,
SO IF WE DON'T ACT QUICKLY,
SHE'S GONNA NEED ANOTHER FIX.
We might never get
another shot like this.
We got to do everything we can
to motivate him to show.
AND WHAT IF
HE DOESN'T SHOW?
LET'S JUST PRAY HE DOES.
[ CELLPHONE BEEPS ]
[ INDISTINCT CONVERSATION ]
[ LOCK ENGAGES ]
[ SIGHS ] IS IT OVER?
CAN I --
Shh!
[ SIGHS ]
SO, I KNOW YOU'RE TIRED
AND UNCOMFORTABLE,
BUT HANG IN THERE, OKAY?
WE'RE GETTING CLOSE
TO GETTING YOU OUT OF THERE.
TELL ME ABOUT YOUR SON.
HE'S 3.
HE'S A GOOD BOY.
HE SMILES ALL THE TIME.
WHAT'S HIS NAME?
JOHN TYLER.
NAMED AFTER
YOUR FATHER, RIGHT?
HOW'D YOU KNOW THAT?
MM, IT'S A STRONG NAME.
I JUST FIGURED IT HAD TO COME
FROM SOMEONE YOU LOVED.
[ CLEARS THROAT ]
MY DAD DIED, UM,
WHEN I WAS 9.
[ SIGHS ]
I LOVED HIM A LOT.
YEAH, I BET YOU DID.
[ CHUCKLES NERVOUSLY ]
WAS HIS PASSING THE REASON
THAT YOU'RE HERE?
YEAH.
MY MOM BECAME ABSENT.
I BECAME REBELLIOUS.
I TRIED HEROIN WITH MY BOYFRIEND
IN HIGH SCHOOL, AND [SIGHS]
BY THE TIME I WAS 19,
I HAD A $200-A-DAY HABIT,
AND THE ONLY THING
LEFT TO SELL WAS ME.
I'M SO SORRY.
SO AM I.
[ SIGHS ]
OKAY, I KNOW I'M NEW
TO HOMICIDE, BUT HEAR ME OUT.
NOW, IF WE WERE
DOPE DEALERS,
WE WOULD HAVE
SEVERAL GUYS SET UP
AT MULTIPLE HOTELS
ACROSS THE CITY.
ONE PLACE GETS SHUT DOWN,
IT DOESN'T MATTER.
WE'RE STILL IN BUSINESS.
I DON'T FOLLOW.
WHAT IF OUR GUY HAS SET UP
MULTIPLE PROSTITUTES
AT SEVERAL HOTELS
ACROSS THE CITY?
HE WATCHES THEM, MAKES SURE
THEY FOLLOW ALL HIS RULES,
AND MAKES SURE
WE'RE NOT AROUND.
RIGHT.
HE HAS A TON OF OPTIONS.
MAKES IT ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE
TO NARROW DOWN.
I WOULD SAY HIS PROFILE
DOESN'T FIT THOSE ACTIONS.
I WOULD SAY THAT MOS VIOLENT SERIAL KILLERS
FOCUS IN ON
THEIR INDIVIDUAL TARGETS,
AND I WOULD SAY THA EVERY HOMICIDE COP AROUND
WOULD SAY YOU WERE WRONG.
OKAY.
BUT WHAT DO YOU SAY?
I THINK YOU
JUST MAY BE RIGHT.
[ SIREN WAILING ]
I WAS JUS GIVING HER SOME WATER.
OW!
AAH!
DON'T EVER LIE TO ME.
OW!
YOU'RE HURTING ME.
YEAH?
[ WHIMPERS ]
YEAH, THAT'S WHAT YOU WANT,
ISN'T IT?
HUH?
YES.
YOU WANT TO FEEL
THE POWER OF EVIL?
YEAH.
YEAH, HURT ME
LIKE YOU WANT TO HURT HER.
YOU'RE NOTHING LIKE HER.
YOU NEVER WILL BE.
[ GROANS ]
[ EXHALES SHARPLY ]
YOU CAN LET HER GO.
IT'S YOUR CALL.
RICHARD, WAIT.
MM.
NO, UNTIE HER.
TAKE HER TO THE BUS STATION.
SEND HER HOME.
YOU TRUST HER,
AND I TRUST YOU.
BUT YOU KNOW THE DEAL.
I'M GOING TO BED.
SWEETHEART?
YEAH?
I TRUST YOU MORE.
WE'RE FUCKED.
WHY?
OUR GIRL IN 115 IS TRYING
TO BOOK A DATE
FOR TOMORROW NIGHT, OKAY?
SHE'S FOUND THIS GUY,
BUT HE WANTS TWO GIRLS,
AND ONE OF THEM NEEDS TO BE
A REDHEAD WITH FRECKLES.
AND SHE HAS TO FIND HER?
RIGHT.
SO, SHE LOGGED ONLINE
AND TRIED TO TRACK A FRIEND
WHO HAS -- WHO SUITS
THAT DESCRIPTION.
OKAY.
AND SHE FOUND THAT GIRL,
BUT THE GIRL
RECENTLY POSTED ONLINE
THAT SHE HAD JUST ARRIVED A THE PLEASANTVILLE BUS STATION
A FEW HOURS AGO.
WORKING THE CORNERS
IN PLEASANTVILLE?
NO.
I THINK SHE'S BOOKED
A DATE WITH OUR GUY.
I LOOKED TO SEE WHA HE HAD WRITTEN ON 115'S WALL,
AND THEN I LOOKED TO SEE WHA HE WROTE ON THIS GIRL'S WALL,
AND IT IS SO SIMILAR,
IT HAS TO BE THE SAME GUY.
THERE'S NO DOUBT ABOUT IT.
BUT THIS TIME, HE WROTE
WHAT CAR HE WOULD BE IN.
WHICH IS?
WHICH IS
A BLACK FOUR-DOOR SEDAN.
OKAY. I'LL GET THAT DESCRIPTION
OUT TO OUR SURVEILLANCE UNITS.
I WANT YOU TO GE ON THE PHONE
AND TALK TO THE PEOPLE
OVER AT THAT BUS STATION.
FIND OUT IF THEY'VE GO ANY SECURITY VIDEO.
WHAT TIME DID SHE ARRIVE?
WELL, SHE LOGGED ONLINE
AT 7:00 P.M.
HE'S HAD HER FOR HOURS.
OH, YEAH,
WE DON'T HAVE MUCH TIME,
IF ANY TIME AT ALL --
WE GOT TO GO.
SARGE, I NEED YOU
TO MOVE YOUR UNITS
OVER TO THE HOTELS
THAT BORDER PLEASANTVILLE
AND ALSO SEND A UNIT, CODE 3,
OVER TO THE BUS STATION.
THEY MAY HAVE
SECURITY VIDEO.
[ STATIC CRACKLES ]
YOU DON'T HAVE TO TELL ME
SOMETHING YOU DON'T BELIEVE.
[ Voice breaking ]
I KNOW.
WHAT MADE YOU
CHANGE YOUR MIND?
OUR CHILDREN
NEED THEIR FATHER.
AND I NEED MY HUSBAND.
I'M SO SORRY.
YOU CAN NEVER
PUT ME IN A POSITION
LIKE THIS AGAIN.
WE HAVE TO BE BETTER
FOR OUR CHILDREN...
FOR OURSELVES.
I WILL BE.
I PROMISE YOU.
[ WHIMPERS ]
MAKE SURE
SHE DOESN'T SUFFER, OKAY?
OF COURSE.
[ SNIFFLES ]
[ SIGHS ]
I AM SO SORRY.
[ SNIFFLES ]
MAY GOD HAVE MERCY
ON OUR SOULS.
YEP.
OKAY. THANK YOU.
OKAY.
HERE'S WHAT THEY HAVE.
SO, THEY SEE HER
GETTING OFF THE BUS
AND WAITING 15 MINUTES
AT THE FRONT OF THE TERMINAL.
THEN THEY SEE HER ON A PAY PHONE
FOR LESS THAN A MINUTE.
SHE THEN WALKS
ACROSS THE STREET TO THE STORE.
IN THE STORE, WE SEE HER
BUYING SOME CIGARETTES,
AND THEN WHEN SHE EXITS,
INSTEAD OF WALKING
TOWARDS THE BUS STATION,
SHE WALKS AROUND THE CORNER
TO THE BACK ALLEY OF THE STORE.
OKAY.
I WANT YOU TO CALL
THE PHONE COMPANY
AND HAVE THEM PULL
ALL INCOMING CALLS
TO THAT PAY PHONE.
OKAY, YOU MEAN OUTGOING.
I MEAN INCOMING.
HE CALLED HER,
TOLD HER TO CROSS THE STREE SO HE COULD SPOT SURVEILLANCE.
THE SON OF A BITCH KNEW
THERE WERE CAMERAS
IN BOTH PLACES.
MULTIPLE GIRLS,
MULTIPLE LOCATIONS,
MULTIPLE PRECAUTIONS.
THIS GUY IS SMART,
PATIENT, AND METHODICAL.
YEAH, HE WORKS EVERY ANGLE.
HE'S TOO SMART.
YEAH, BUT WHA DO YOU MEAN BY THAT?
HE KNOWS TOO MUCH ABOU HOW WE DO OUR JOB
AND HOW TO KEEP US
GUESSING.
LIKE HOW HE KILLS THEM
DIFFERENT WAYS.
AND DISPOSES OF THE BODIES
IN DIFFERENT WAYS.
HE STABS A FEW.
HE STRANGLES A FEW.
HE BURNS A FEW.
HE DROWNS A FEW IN THE OCEAN.
ALL OF THIS JUST STOPS US
MAKING A PROFILE ON HIM.
AND TO MAKE IT APPEAR
THAT THERE ARE MULTIPLE KILLERS.
I HATE TO SAY IT, BUT...
SOUNDS LIKE HE'S A COP.
[ TELEPHONE RINGS ]
YEP?
OKAY. GOOD.
AND YOU'RE SURE
IT'S THE SAME GUY?
YEAH.
YEAH, WE'LL MAKE SURE
YOU GET YOUR REWARD.
GOOD. STAND BY.
OKAY, HE JUST POSTED
ON HER WALL.
IT'S THE SAME ONE?
"BE READY IN 15 MINUTES."
SHE STILL WILLING
TO GET IN THE CAR WITH HIM?
YEP.
ALL RIGHT, NOW,
HE'S ALREADY HAD ONE WOMAN.
WHY'S HE GOING AFTER
THIS ONE?
MAYBE HE'S RAISING
THE STAKES.
MAYBE...
TWO GIRLS IN ONE NIGHT?
MAYBE WE'RE JUS WAY OFF THE MARK.
[ WHIMPERING ]
SAMANTHA?
[ WHIMPERING STOPS ]
PLEASE STAY.
I NEED YOU TO STAY.
[ Voice breaking ]
WHY?
I CAN'T DO IT ALONE.
I CAN'T STAY DOWN HERE
AND WATCH YOU KILL HER.
I'M ASKING YOU TO COME OVER HERE
AND HELP ME KILL HER.
[ WHIMPERS ]
NO!
I NEED YOU
TO COME OVER HERE,
STAND BY MY SIDE,
AND SEE THIS TO THE END.
YOU'VE DONE THIS
BY YOURSELF BEFORE.
WHY DO YOU NEED ME NOW?
TONIGHT CHANGED EVERYTHING.
I CAN'T DO IT ALONE.
I NEED MY WIFE.
[ WHIMPERING ]
[ SOBBING ]
I NEVER THOUGHT I COULD
LOVE SOMEBODY THIS MUCH.
[ SNIFFLES ]
BUT I DO.
I'VE GOT TO WARN YOU.
THERE IS SOMETHING
EXTREMELY POWERFUL
ABOUT TAKING A HUMAN LIFE.
I KNOW. I CAN FEEL IT.
[ MUFFLED SCREAM ]
[ GASPS ]
[ WHIMPERING CONTINUES ]
IT'S BEEN 20 MINUTES.
I WOULDN'T BE SURPRISED
IF HE'S ACROSS
THE STREET RIGHT NOW,
JUST SITTING AND WATCHING.
IT'S NOT A BLACK SEDAN,
BUT IT'S BLACK.
COULD HAVE
MORE THAN ONE VEHICLE.
SHIT.
THIS COULD BE OUR GUY.
I KNOW THIS GUY.
REALLY?
HE DID TIME FOR
THE VIOLENT RAPE AND ASSAUL OF A PROSTITUTE
A FEW YEARS AGO.
I INTERVIEWED HIM
AFTER MURDER THREE,
BUT HE HAD
AN AIRTIGHT ALIBI.
MAYBE HE'S WORKING
WITH A PARTNER.

LETTING ME GET CLEANED UP.
DON'T TAKE THIS THE WRONG WAY,
BUT, UM, YOU TWO ARE NUTS.
[ CHUCKLES ]
I MEAN, I'VE BEEN HIRED
TO DO SOME KINKY SHIT,
BUT THAT --
THAT TAKES THE CAKE.
I WAS ACTUALLY SCARED
AT TIMES.
I KNOW.
I COULD SEE IT ON YOUR FACE.
AND I FELT SO BAD.
THAT'S ONE HELL OF A WAY
TO GET OFF.
[ CHUCKLES ]
NO, IT'S NOT JUST ABOUT THAT.
SOMETIMES, WE JUST CREATE
THESE SCENARIOS FOR MY RESEARCH.
WHAT KIND OF RESEARCH?
I'M A WRITER.
YOU WRITE BOOKS?
NO, PLAYS AND MOVIES,
MOSTLY.
NO KIDDING.
SO, I COULD BECOME A CHARACTER
IN YOUR MOVIE?
YOU ALREADY ARE.
WOW, YOU GUYS
ARE REALLY BELIEVABLE.
YEAH, WELL, WE, UM...
WE MET IN THEATER CLASS
IN COLLEGE,
SO WE FANCY OURSELVES
THESPIANS.
Richard: BUT I AM
MERELY AN AMATEUR,
COMPARED TO
MY BEAUTIFUL WIFE.
AWW.
AND THANK YOU SO MUCH
FOR COMING
ALL THE WAY DOWN FROM PHILLY.
I MEAN, WITH ALL THE STUFF
GOING ON AROUND HERE...
YEAH, IT'S NOT SAFE
OUT THERE.
IT'S NEVER A SAFE TIME
TO DO WHAT I DO, BUT THANKS.
AND, UH, AS I PROMISED.
THANKS.
LOVE YOU, BABY.
Mayfield: OKAY, ALL RIGHT.
THANKS, SARGE.
OKAY. BYE-BYE.
HERE YOU GO.
Jesse: HOW'S 115?
OH, SHE'S GOOD.
SHE WANTED TO KNOW IF SHE WAS
STILL GONNA GET HER 10 GRAND.
SO, I GAVE HER
THE CAPTAIN'S CELLPHONE NUMBER.
[ CHUCKLES ]
[ CHUCKLES ]
SO, UH...
THERE WASN'T MUCH EVIDENCE
IN HIS TRUCK, HUH?
OH, NOT MUCH, BUT WE GO UNITS OVER THERE
SECURING HIS HOUSE AND
HIS OTHER VEHICLES RIGHT NOW.
DOES HE GOT A BLACK SEDAN?
WELL, THE ONLY OTHER VEHICLE
THAT IS THERE NOW PRESENTLY
IS A GREEN JEEP.
DOESN'T MEAN HE DOESN' HAVE A BLACK SEDAN.
SO, WHEN --
WHEN YOU INTERVIEWED HIM,
I MEAN, YOU THOUGH HE WAS THE GUY, RIGHT?
LIKE I SAID,
HE HAD AN AIRTIGHT ALIBI.
I KNOW, BUT BEFORE YOU
CONFIRMED HIS ALIBI,
YOU THOUGHT HE WAS THE GUY?
I KNEW HE WAS A SCUMBAG.
YOU THINK HE WAS A KILLER?
NO. I THOUGHT HE WAS A SICK
SEXUAL PREDATOR, WHICH HE WAS.
I THOUGHT HE WOULD GO ON
HURTING PEOPLE, AS HE DID.
DID I THINK HE WAS
CAPABLE OF THIS? NO.
SO I GUESS I WAS WRONG.
WELL, MAYBE.
[ SIGHS ]
[ SIGHS ]
MAYBE NOT.
WELL, HE'S NOT GONNA
HURT ANYBODY ELSE,
THAT'S FOR SURE.
THOSE DAYS ARE OVER
FOR HIM.
YEAH, BUT, LOOK, DAVE,
WHAT IF --
LIKE, W-WHA IF WE HAD JUST --
STOP.
YOU CAN "WHAT IF" THIS BULLSHI ALL NIGHT LONG
AND FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE --
IT'S NOT GONNA HELP.
KID, YOU ARE NATURAL
MURDER POLICE.
YOU GOT A GOOD HEART,
GOOD INSTINCTS,
AND YOU DID GOOD TONIGHT.
YOU GOT TO LET THA BE ENOUGH.
[ SIGHS ]
YEAH, I HOPE SO, MAN.
I JUST...
YOU KNOW,
IF WE'RE WRONG,
I MEAN, YOU KNOW
WHAT THAT MEANS.
YEAH. I KNOW.
AND THEN WHAT?
THERE'S AN OLD SAYING --
"COURAGE DOESN'T ALWAYS
COME IN A ROAR.
"SOMETIMES
IT'S A QUIET WHISPER
"IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGH "THAT SAYS, 'DON'T QUIT.
GET UP IN THE MORNING.
TRY AGAIN'".
THAT'S WHA WE'RE GONNA DO.
FINISH YOUR BEER.
Man:
I'M HERE AT POLICE HEADQUARTERS
WHERE HAVE JUST LEARNED
THAT POLICE HAVE
SHOT AND KILLED A SUSPEC IN CONNECTION WITH
THE MURDERED PROSTITUTES.
NOW, THIS PERSON ALLEGEDLY
HAS KILLED AT LEAS 10 PROSTITUTES HERE
OVER THE LAST SEVERAL WEEKS.
[ SIRENS WAILING ]
POLICE HAVEN'T TOLD US
HIS NAME YET,
BUT WE DO KNOW
THAT HE HAS PRIOR ARRESTS
AND A VIOLENT HISTORY.
AS SOON AS I GE MORE INFORMATION,
I'LL GET BACK TO YOU
IN THE STUDIO.
YOU KNOW WHAT?
SHOOT.
I ALMOST FORGOT.
HOLD ON A SEC, OKAY?
IT'S MY SON'S OLD CLOTHES.
THOUGHT YOU MIGH BE ABLE TO USE THEM.
OH, N-NO YOU DON' HAVE TO DO THAT.
I DON'T --
I DON'T HAVE A KID.
[ CHUCKLES ]
WHAT?
THANK GOD, RIGHT?
ME AND MY FUCKED UP LIFE?
I MEAN, THE LAST THING
THIS WORLD NEEDS
IS A MOM LIKE ME.
SO, YOU LIED
ABOUT JOHN TYLER?
JUST PLAYING THE PART.
I WAS ACTING LIKE A WOMAN
WHO WOULD SAY ANYTHING TO LIVE.
[ SIGHS ]
WOW.
PRETTY GOOD, HUH?
MM-HMM.
I MEAN, MAYBE WHEN YOU
MAKE THIS MOVIE,
YOU CAN GIVE ME A PART.
YEAH. MAYBE.
YEAH.
HMM.
YOU KNOW, ACTUALLY, UH,
CAN -- CAN YOU HELP ME
WITH THESE?
I'M GONNA THROW THEM
IN THE TRUCK
AND TAKE THEM
TO THE SHELTER TOMORROW.
SURE.
I'M GONNA GO GRAB
MY CELLPHONE, OKAY?
OKAY.
[ DOOR CLOSES ]
THANKS.
SURE.
HEY, KATEY.
I GOT A LITTLE SECRET.
[ GROANS ]
[ GASPS ]
[ CHUCKLES ]
[ GASPS ]
I DON'T KILL MOTHERS.
[ WATER RUNNING ]
Jesse:
[ EXHALES DEEPLY ]
WHAT DO WE GOT?
[ SIGHS ]
PATROL UNITS RESPONDED
AFTER A JOGGER
FOUND HER THIS MORNING.
IT LOOKS LIKE SHE WAS
DRAGGED DOWN THE HILL
AND JUST DUMPED HERE.
YOU TELL CRIME SCENE?
THEY'RE EN ROUTE.
GOT STUCK ON
A TRIPLE MURDER DOWNTOWN.
[ BIRDS SQUAWK ]
SO, LOOK, THE GUY
I KILLED LAST NIGHT --
IS THERE ANY WAY
HE COULD HAVE DONE THIS AND --
MULTIPLE WITNESSES CONFIRM
THAT HE WAS AT THE THIRD AVENUE
STRIP CLUB
UNTIL JUST 20 MINUTES
BEFORE WE SPOTTED HIM.
[ SIGHS ]
OKAY, SO HE HAD A PARTNER.
HE HAD
SOME SORT OF ACCOMPLICE.
NO.
OUR GUY WORKS ALONE.
[ EXHALES DEEPLY ]
SHIT.
HERE COMES THE CAPTAIN.
WHAT ARE YOU GONNA
SAY TO HIM?
THE TRUTH.
WHAT THE HELL IS THAT?
[ SIGHS ]
GOOD MORNING, CAPTAIN.
WHAT THE HELL KIND OF MESS
IS THIS?
THE WORST KIND, SIR.
IS SHE NUMBER 11?
YES, SIR.
NOW, SEE, I THOUGH YOU GOT THE BASTARD.
WELL, WE DIDN'T.
[ CHUCKLES ]
YOU I.D. HER?
SHE DIDN'T HAVE
ANY IDENTIFICATION ON HER.
WE'LL HAVE TO SEND HER PRINTS
OFF FOR A POSITIVE I.D.
SO, YOU KNOW
WHAT THIS MEANS.
CAPTAIN --
I'M NOT TALKING TO YOU.
IT MEANS YOU KILLED
AN INNOCENT MAN.
OH, INNOCENT,
MY FUCKING A--
SHUT THE FUCK UP.
BOTH OF YOU
ARE ON ADMIN LEAVE,
PENDING THE INVESTIGATION
INTO THE SHOOTING LAST NIGHT.
DETECTIVE OXNEY AND GAINER
ARE EN ROUTE.
THEY'LL TAKE OVER
THE CRIME SCENE.
YOU GIVE THEM YOUR NOTES
AND YOUR CASE FILES.
THEY'LL HANDLE THE CASE
FROM HERE.
CAPTAIN, THAT WOULD BE
A MISTAKE.
THOSE TWO WILL NEVER
CATCH THIS GUY,
AND WE ARE CLOSE.
NOW, IF YOU WAN THE CASE SOLVED,
GIVE US ANOTHER WEEK.
I REALLY DON' WANT TO HEAR IT, DAVE.
I GAVE YOU A LOT OF ROPE
ON THIS CASE,
AND YOU HUNG YOURSELF.
SO, IF YOU'RE CLEARED OF KILLING
THAT MAN LAST NIGHT,
I'LL PUT YOU BACK
IN THE ROTATION
OR ACCEP YOUR TRANSFER REQUEST.
EITHER WAY,
I DON'T GIVE A SHIT.
I GOT TO GO
CALL THE CHIEF.
FUCKING ASSHOLE, MAN.
HOLD ON. HOLD ON.
HOLD ON.
HERE, TAKE THIS.
TAKE THIS.
[ SIGHS ]
"R.C.B.
AND S.G.B.
11/11/96."
THAT BELONG TO HER?
MAYBE.
COULD BELONG TO OUR KILLER.
YOU GONNA TELL THAT PRICK?
FUCK HIM.
WHAT DO YOU SAY, DETECTIVE?
I SAY WE GO GE THIS SON OF A BITCH.
[ TELEPHONE RINGS ]
[ TELEPHONE BEEPS ]
HELLO?
HEY, SWEETHEART.
OH, THAT'S OKAY.
NO PROBLEM.
NO, YOU JUST STAY SAFE,
AND I'LL MAKE RESERVATIONS
FOR DINNER TONIGH AND MEET YOU THERE.
CAN'T WAIT TO TELL YOU
ABOUT MY NEXT IDEA.
HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT MEXICO?
HEY.
I BROUGHT YOU SOME WATER.
YEAH, I DON'T WANT YOU
GETTING DEHYDRATED
OVER THE NEXT FEW HOURS.
I'M GLAD YOU GOT SOME REST.
IT'S STILL EARLY,
SO WE HAVE SOME TIME
TO GET TO KNOW ONE ANOTHER.
[ WHIMPERING CONTINUES ]
DON'T DO THAT.
I DON'T LIKE IT.
IT COULD MAKE YOUR,
UH, MAKEUP SMEAR,
AND THAT WILL NOT BE ATTRACTIVE.
STOP IT.
LOOK, I DON'T WANT TO HURT YOU,
BUT I WILL BASH
YOUR FUCKING BRAINS IN!
[ CHUCKLES ]
I'M JOKING.
I'M JUST KIDDING.
I'M JUST KIDDING.
I'D NEVER DO ANYTHING LIKE THAT.
I MEAN, I GOT NO PROBLEM
KILLING YOU, PER SE,
BUT IT WOULDN'T BE VIOLENT.
I'D, UH...
JUST SUFFOCATE YOU.
YOU KNOW, SOMETHING PEACEFUL
LIKE THAT.
[ SCRAPING ]
[ WHIMPERING CONTINUES ]
[ SIGHS ]
YOU SURE ARE PRETTY.
OKAY, HERE'S THE PLAN.
I'M GONNA GET YOU
OUT OF THOSE CLOTHES.
I'M GONNA GIVE YOU
A NICE, HOT BATH.
UH, I-I'M SORRY, WHAT?
[ WHIMPERING CONTINUES ]
OH, YEAH.
I CAN LEAVE SOME MUSIC ON
FOR YOU.
I MEAN, WOULD THA HELP RELAX YOU?
OKAY -- AND, WHEN I TAKE
THE GAG OUT,
DON'T BOTHER TO SCREAM.
[ SCREAMS ]
THERE'S NO ONE THAT'S GONNA
HEAR YOU, DARLING.
[ WHIMPERING CONTINUES ]
STOP WITH THE FUCKING CRYING.
Shh!
[ WOMAN BREATHING SHAKILY ]
YOU ARE NOT GONNA RUIN
THIS NIGHT FOR ME.
IT IS A VERY SPECIAL NIGHT.
MY ADVICE FOR YOU IS SIMPLE --
LET YOUR MIND WANDER.
MAYBE IMAGINE
YOU'RE SOMEWHERE ELSE.
AWW.
DON'T WORRY.
IT'S ALL GOING TO BE OKAY.
TRUST ME.
[ SIRENS WAILING ]
[ SOFT MUSIC PLAYS ]
THANKS, RUE.
YOU'RE WELCOME, SUGAR.
[ CHUCKLES ]
I-IT'S BEEN, UH,
ALMOST 10 YEARS
SINCE I'VE HAD A PARTNER
ASSIGNED TO ME,
SO FORGIVE ME IF IT TAKES
A MINUTE TO GET USED TO YOU.
UH, YOU MUST BE
SOME KIND OF GOLDEN BOY.
Jesse:
WHAT MAKES YOU SAY THAT?
THERE ARE 10 COPS AHEAD OF YOU
FOR THIS SPOT.
[ CELLPHONE RINGS ]
[ CELLPHONE BEEPS ]
CHIEF'S DISCRETION,
I SUPPOSE.
AND THE CAPTAIN
FORCES YOU ON ME.
NO.
I ASKED IF I COULD
PARTNER WITH YOU.
OH, THE CAPTAIN ISN'T ONE
TO EASILY GRANT FAVORS --
NOT UNLESS
THEY BENEFIT HIM.
YEAH, WELL, MAYBE HE FIGURED
YOU NEEDED SOME HELP.
PERHAPS YOU GO NAKED PICTURES OF HIM
WITH A WOMAN
WHO'S NOT HIS WIFE.
I KNOW HOW
YOU UNDERCOVER BOYS ROLL.
[ CHUCKLES ]
YEAH, THAT'S RIGHT.
NO, YOU KNOW WHAT?
IF I HAD, I WOULD HAVE
MADE HIM LET ME DRIVE.
THEN YOU MUST BE GOLDEN.
[ CHUCKLES ]
[ CELLPHONE RINGS ]
[ CELLPHONE BEEPS ]
SHOULD WE CUT THE SHIT?
OKAY.
I WAS KICKED OU OF NARCOTICS.
I DIDN'T WANT TO LEAVE.
WE BOTH KNOW THIS.
USUALLY, WHEN YOU'RE
KICKED OUT OF A UNIT,
YOU WIND UP ON A FOOT BEAT,
NOT ON HOMICIDE.
YEAH, WELL, USUALLY WHEN YOU'RE
KICKED OUT OF A UNIT,
YOU FUCKED UP.
I DIDN'T.
I GOT TOLD TO MOVE ON,
BUT I COULD LAND
WHEREVER I WANTED.
AND YOU CHOSE
THE MURDER POLICE.
IF YOU'RE GONNA PLAY,
YOU MIGHT AS WELL PLAY BIG.
ISN'T THAT RIGHT,
DETECTIVE?
LOOKING TO HI THAT HOME RUN?
CLEAR YOUR NAME,
GET YOURSELF BACK IN NARCOS?
[ CELLPHONE RINGS ]
[ CELLPHONE BEEPS ]
LOOK, I CAN'T TALK.
[ CELLPHONE BEEPS ]
[ SIGHS ]
[ SIGHS ]
LOOK, I'M JUST TRYING TO DO
MY JOB, DETECTIVE, OKAY?
I'M NOT LOOKING FOR ANY GLORY
OR ANY REDEMPTION.
I'M JUST HERE TO WORK.
SO WHY THIS CASE?
WHAT KIND OF COP WOULD I BE
IF I DIDN'T TAKE THIS CASE ON?
YOU CARE ABOU THESE GIRLS?
YEAH, I DO.
GOOD.
'CAUSE I DON'T THINK
THE MAYOR, THE CHIEF,
OR YOUR BUDDY,
THE CAPTAIN,
REALLY CARE
IF WE CATCH THIS GUY OR NOT.
HUH.
AS LONG AS HE'S NOT KILLING
TOURISTS, RIGHT?
[ CHUCKLES ]
THIS IS ATLANTIC CITY.
UNLESS OUR SERIAL KILLER
STARTS DROPPING BODIES
ON THE CASINO FLOOR,
NO ONE'S GONNA GIVE A DAMN.
[ DOOR OPENS ]
YOU READY?
'CAUSE I'M READY.
[ CHUCKLES ]
[ ENGINE SHUTS OFF ]
[ BREATHING SHAKILY ]
[ THUDDING ]
[ MUFFLED SCREAMING ]
HEY, HEY, HEY.
SHUT YOUR FUCKING MOUTH.
SHUT YOUR MOUTH.
[ WHIMPERING ]
YOU REMEMBER EVERYTHING
WE SPOKE ABOUT, RIGHT?
MM-HMM.
YOU KNOW THE DEAL?
HUH?
GOOD.
[ BREATHING SHAKILY ]
Shh.
[ GULPS ]
[ SOBBING ]
[ SIREN WAILS ]
FOR THE PAST 10 WEEKS,
WE'VE FOUND A DEAD PROSTITUTE
EVERY SATURDAY MORNING.
WE KNOW THEY'RE BEING KILLED
SOMETIME LATE FRIDAY NIGH INTO THE EARLY HOURS
OF SATURDAY.
Jesse: AND ALL THE GIRLS
WERE LAST SEEN
SOMETIME BEFORE
5:00 P.M. ON FRIDAY.
WHICH MEANS WE GO ABOUT A SEVEN-HOUR WINDOW
BETWEEN WHEN THEY GO MISSING
AND HE KILLS THEM.
WE GOT SURVEILLANCE UNITS
STATIONED
AT THE THREE PRIMARY HOTELS
AND TWO MAIN STRIP CLUBS.
WE GOT STREET CRIMES
RUNNING STOP-AND-POPS
UP AND DOWN THE AVENUE,
LOOKING FOR JOHNS.
AND WE GOT VICE THROWING CASH
TO THEIR SNITCHES.
NOW, OF THE 10 GIRLS
WE KNOW,
SOME OF THEM DIDN'T WORK
CORNERS OR STRIP CLUBS, RIGHT?
YEAH, THAT'S RIGHT.
THREE.
BUT WE HAVE NO INDICATION
OF HOW HE MEETS THEM.
NO.
THE THREE HOTELS WE CHOSE
ARE THE ONES
THAT VICE SAID
HAVE THE HIGHEST AMOUNTS
OF PROSTITUTION
COMPLAINTS AND ARRESTS.
YEAH, THAT'S RIGHT.
BUT WE HAVE NOT CONFIRMED
THAT THESE GIRLS
ACTUALLY WORKED
THESE PARTICULAR HOTELS.
NO, BUT TWO OF THE VICTIMS
HAD PRIOR ARRESTS
AT THE CASINO HOTELS.
ALL RIGHT, SO...
WHAT ARE WE MISSING?
HOW DOES HE MEET THESE GIRLS?
NONE OF THEM PLACED ADS IN
THE LOCAL SEX-FOR-HIRE PAPERS.
NONE OF THEM
WERE HIGH-END CALL GIRLS.
WHAT OPTIONS
ARE WE NOT SEEING?
WHAT IF THERE IS
A HIGH-END CALL SERVICE
FOR LOW-END PROSTITUTES?
HUH.
TYPE OF SERVICE
ALL THE GIRLS
COULD USE
TO MEET THEIR DATES.
NO.
YOU KNOW, IF THERE WAS SOMETHING
LIKE THAT AROUND HERE,
VICE WOULD KNOW
ABOUT IT.
WHO SAYS IT HAS TO EXIS AROUND HERE?
WELL, WE KNOW THA SOME OF THE GIRLS
CAME FROM OUT OF TOWN.
MAYBE ALL OF THEM
WERE HIRED ELSEWHERE.
HEAD DOWN TO
THE OLD CONVENTION CENTER.
WHAT FOR?
I'VE GOT AN INFORMANT.
SHE OWES ME A FAVOR, AND...
SHE HELPS BRING IN
OUT-OF-TOWN WORKING GIRLS
TO HELP WITH
THE BIG CONVENTIONS.
GOOD. LET'S GO.
Woman: HEY, BABY.
HEY.
THOUGHT I'D, UH,
SURPRISE YOU
WITH SOME CHINESE FOOD
FOR DINNER.
YEAH.
YEAH, I-I'M
VERY SURPRISED. I --
YEAH, WELL, I GOT MY MOM
TO PICK THE KIDS UP
FROM THE SITTER,
AND JULIE SAID SHE'D TAKE
MY SECOND SHIFT AT WORK
SO WE COULD HAVE
A NICE, QUIET DINNER TOGETHER.
OH, THAT'S NICE.
YEAH.
IT IS, ISN'T IT?
[ CHUCKLES ]
AND I MISS MY HUSBAND.
AWW,
I MISS YOU, TOO, BABY.
[ CHUCKLES ]
MM.
I LOVE THE WAY
YOU LOOK AT ME.
YEAH?
Yeah.
MM.
I SAY...
WE TAKE THIS FOOD...
[ CHUCKLES ]
...A BOTTLE OF WINE...
MM-HMM.
...HEAD DOWN
TO THE BEACH.
MM-HMM.
A NICE, ROMANTIC DINNER
UNDER THE STARS.
I'LL GRAB THE WINE.
[ CHUCKLES ]
LET'S GO.
[ CHUCKLES ]
[ THUDDING ]
WHAT WAS THAT?
NOTHING.
I WAS WORKING
OUT THERE EARLIER.
[ CHUCKLES ]
IS THERE SOMEBODY
IN THE GARAGE?
NO. OF COURSE NOT.
COME ON. LET'S GO.
SAM. SAMANTHA.
LET GO OF ME!
[ INDISTINCT TALKING ]
WHAT THE FUCK?
[ WHIMPERING ]
SAM, STOP.
SAMANTHA!
LEAVE HER BE!
OW! FUCK.
OW!
LEAVE HER BE, OKAY?
[ WHIMPERING ]
THIS -- Shh!
WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
JUST...
LET ME EXPLAIN
EVERYTHING, OKAY?
LET GO OF ME.
OW!
UGH!
SAMANTHA! STOP!
LISTEN TO ME. STOP!
OW!
LISTEN TO ME!
CALM DOWN!
OKAY?
JUST LET ME EXPLAIN.
AAH!
LET ME EXPLAIN.
GET OFF OF ME!
STOP! JUST --
GET THE FUCK OFF ME!
SAM.
SAMANTHA.
[ PANTING ]
SAM.
SAM, DON'T DO THIS, OKAY?
JUST LET ME IN THE DOOR.
[ BANGS DOOR ]
OPEN THE FUCKING DOOR.
[ SOBS ]
SAM...
PLEASE,
JUST TALK TO ME, OKAY?
PLEASE, TALK TO ME.
[ TELEPHONE BEEPS ]
[ Dial tone ]
[ TELEPHONE BEEPS ]
SAM, DON'T MAKE
THIS CALL.
PUT THE PHONE DOWN,
OKAY?
YOU MAKE THIS CALL,
AND THERE'S NO GOING BACK.
PUT THE FUCKING PHONE
DOWN, SAM!
[ BREATHES SHAKILY ]
[ SOBS ]
BABY, I KNOW YOUR MIND
IS RUNNING
ABOUT A THOUSAND MILES
A MINUTE,
AND I AM SORRY
THAT YOU HAD TO SEE THIS.
I'M SORRY YOU HAD TO FIND OU THIS WAY, OKAY?
PLEASE, JUST LET ME
TALK YOU THROUGH THIS.
YOU'RE PLANNING ON TALKING ME
THROUGH THIS?!
IF YOU CAN REMAIN CALM
AND BE OPEN TO WHA I HAVE TO SAY, YES.
YOU'VE GOT A STRANGE WHITE WOMAN
TIED UP IN OUR GARAGE!
I UNDERSTAND THAT.
JUST LET ME STAR AT THE BEGINNING
AND TELL YOU
EVERYTHING, OKAY?
DO YOU RAPE THEM?
NO.
NO. GOD, NO.
IT'S NOT LIKE THAT.
THEN WHAT'S IT LIKE,
RICHARD?
IT'S DIFFICULT TO EXPLAIN
IN WORDS.
WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO
WITH THAT WOMAN?
I'M GOING TO KILL HER.
[ WHIMPERS ]
I'M SORRY --
THERE IS A DEMON INSIDE OF ME.
ONE THAT I HAVE FOUGH FOR YEARS --
ONE I THOUGHT I KILLED
AND I BURIED A LONG TIME AGO...
...THE DAY I MET YOU.
'CAUSE YOU SHOWED ME
THAT THERE WAS A LOVE
THAT I NEVER KNEW EXISTED.
THEN WE STARTED
OUR FAMILY, OKAY?
I NEVER THOUGH I'D GO BACK THERE...
BUT IT HIT ME AGAIN...
AND I LOST CONTROL.
SO, WHAT, YOU JUST DECIDED
TO DESTROY OUR FAMILY?!
I DON'T WANT TO DESTROY
OUR FAMILY.
I'D NEVER DO ANYTHING
INTENTIONALLY TO HURT YOU.
I DON'T GIVE A DAMN
ABOUT YOUR INTENTIONS!
I CARE ABOUT YOUR ACTIONS!
[ Voice breaking ]
WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?
OKAY, YOU WANT TO KNOW?
HUH?
A FEW WEEKS AGO,
I'M AT THE JOB SITE,
AND THERE'S
THESE DISGUSTING WHORES
WORKING THE CORNERS,
SHOWING ME THEIR TITS,
TELLING ME TO COME GE WHAT MY WIFE DOESN'T GIVE ME.
YEAH.
YEAH, IT TOOK ME BACK TO A PLACE
THAT I'D LEFT A LONG TIME AGO --
A PLACE THAT I NEVER THOUGH I'D RETURN, BUT I DID.
AND YOU KNOW WHAT?
IT MADE ME WANT TO KILL AGAIN!
SO I FUCKING DID!
SO YOU'RE THE ONE
KILLING ALL THOSE PROSTITUTES?
YES.
YES, I AM.
I'M SORRY.
I KNOW THAT SOUNDS HORRIBLE.
[ DOOR HINGES CREAKING ]
DO YOU SLEEP WITH THEM
BEFORE YOU KILL THEM?
NO, BABY.
DON'T LIE TO ME, RICHARD.
I'M NOT LYING.
I'D NEVER CHEAT ON YOU.
SO THIS ISN'T SOME
SICK SEXUAL FETISH YOU HAVE?
I WOULD NEVER HURT YOU
LIKE THAT. NEVER.
[ SCOFFS ]
BUT YOU'D HURT ME
LIKE THIS?
YOU'D HUR OUR FAMILY LIKE THIS?
Mayfield: ALL RIGHT...
MAYBE IT'S ME.
I'M MISSING SOMETHING.
DID YOU FIND ANYTHING
IN THAT CASE FILE
THAT, UH,
LINKS THESE GIRLS?
NO. [ SIGHS ]
NOTHING.
EXCEP THEY'RE ALL PROSTITUTES.
WHY KILL THEM?
THAT'S WHAT I DON'T UNDERSTAND.
EASY TARGETS.
EASY TO GET AWAY WITH.
YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU CONSIDER
THE NUMBER OF PROSTITUTES
IN THIS CITY
AND THAT EVERY JOHN
THEY'VE BEEN WITH
AND PIMP THEY'VE WORKED FOR
IS A SUSPECT,
THE ODDS ARE CLEARLY
IN THE KILLER'S FAVOR.
MOST OF THESE GIRLS
DON'T EVEN HAVE FAMILY,
AND THE FRIENDS THEY KEEP
ARE OTHER PROSTITUTES
WHO DON'T WANT TO GE INVOLVED.
SOME POLITICIANS
DON'T GIVE A DAMN.
THERE'S NO "MOTHERS AGAINS DEAD PROSTITUTES"
MAKING A STINK.
SO, WHAT?
THIS GUY JUST KILLS THESE GIRLS
BECAUSE IT'S EASY?
WHY NOT? YEAH, MAYBE THAT'S
THE ONLY MOTIVE.
WHAT IF HE'S THAT SICK?
[ CELLPHONE RINGS ]
IT'S JESSE.
YEAH, WHAT HAVE YOU GOT?
OKAY.
OKAY. GOOD.
YEAH, YOU GOT A FAVOR
ON THE BOOKS.
YOU BE SAFE.
WHAT YOU GOT?
THERE IS A SERVICE OPERATED
BY A PIMP OUT OF PHILLY.
HE COMES DOWN EVERY WEEKEND
WITH A GROUP OF GIRLS,
SETS THEM UP AT A MOTEL
SOMEWHERE OFF ROUTE 40,
AND THEN HE USES ONLINE
CHAT ROOMS AND WEBSITES
TO SET THEM UP
WITH THEIR DATES.
A FEW OF THE VICTIMS
HAD PRIORS IN PHILLY.
YEAH, BUT HE OPERATES THIS
LOCALLY, AS WELL.
HE SETS THE GIRLS UP
AT PUBS, CLUBS,
CASINOS, HOTELS, MOTELS --
EVERYWHERE.
THERE'S THE VARIETY.
YEAH, BUT IF YOU'RE A PIMP,
YOU'RE GONNA KNOW
IF Y-YOUR GIRLS ARE
GOING MISSING, FOR GOD'S SAKE.
ALL RIGHT.
LET'S THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX.
WHAT IF HE'S LESS OF A PIMP
AND MORE OF AN AGENT?
OKAY.
OPERATES OUT OF SEVERAL CITIES
WITH SEVERAL HUNDRED GIRLS.
NUMBERS GAME.
SO, HE'S RUNNING A HUGE SYSTEM
OF PROSTITUTION
UP AND DOWN
THE EAST COAST.
IF HE LOSES A GIRL
HERE OR THERE,
HE DOESN'T EVEN NOTICE.
BECAUSE IT'S A NETWORK.
I'VE WANTED TO TELL YOU
FOR SO LONG.
KEEPING A SECRET FROM YOU
IS HELL ON ME.
WHY DIDN'T YOU COME TO ME
WHEN THE URGES RETURNED?
BEFORE YOU STARTED
MURDERING WOMEN?
I CONTROLLED THE URGES
AT FIRST.
YOU KNOW, THEY'D COME AND GO,
AND I DEAL WITH THEM MYSELF.
THEN ONE DAY,
I WAS LEAVING WORK,
AND ONE OF THEM WHORES
WALKED UP TO MY CAR WINDOW.
THEN WHAT?
SHE TOLD ME I COULD FUCK HER
FOR $20.
WHAT HAPPENED NEXT?
I, UM...
I GRABBED HER.
UM...
SHOW ME.
WHAT?
IF I'VE BEEN MARRIED TO
A MONSTER AFTER ALL THESE YEARS,
I WANT TO SEE IT.
I'M NOT A MONSTER.
MAYBE AT TIMES, I CAN BE,
OR PART OF ME CAN BE.
THEN SHOW ME
THAT PART OF YOU.
I DON'T WANT YOU
TO SEE THAT.
SHOW ME.
NO.
SHOW ME!
I DON'T WANT YOU
TO SEE IT.
SHOW --
I GRABBED THAT CUNT WHORE
BY THE BACK OF THE HEAD,
DRAGGED HER ASS
INTO MY CAR,
DROVE DOWN THE ROAD
AT 60 MILES PER HOUR
AS I BASHED HER FUCKING HEAD
INTO THE DASHBOARD!
AND THEN I PULLED OVER,
SNAPPED HER NECK
LIKE A FUCKING TWIG...
[ GASPING ]
...AND LEFT HER ASS
ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD.
[ INHALES DEEPLY ]
[ COUGHS ]
[ SIGHS ]
I CAN'T IMAGINE
WHAT YOU THINK OF ME.
ALL I CAN DO IS BEG
FOR YOUR FORGIVENESS.
HOW CAN I EVEN CONTEMPLATE
FORGIVING YOU...
OR EVEN
UNDERSTANDING YOU...
WHEN I DON'T EVEN KNOW
WHO YOU ARE?
DON'T SAY THAT.
YOU'RE THE ONLY ONE
IN THIS WORLD
THAT TRULY KNOWS WHO I AM.
WE'VE BEEN TOGETHER
SINCE WE WERE 18 YEARS OLD.
I HAVE NEVER LOVED ANYONE
OR ANYTHING
AS MUCH AS I LOVE YOU
AND OUR TWO KIDS.
HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO
FEEL NOW, HUH?
HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO
REACT?
HOW DO I GO ON
FROM THIS?
I NEED YOU.
I NEED YOU TO HELP ME.
GOD, THIS CAN'T BE
HAPPENING.
NOW ALL WE HAVE TO DO
IS FIGURE OUT WHICH ROOMS.
I HOPE WE'RE NO TOO LATE.
Jesse: YEP.
'CAUSE IF HE ALREADY
HAS HER...
[ SIGHS ]
WELL,
THEN SHE'S ALREADY DEAD.
OR CLOSE TO IT.
[ SIGHS ]
I THINK WE FOUND
OUR ROOM.
I-I KNOW YOU'RE AFRAID.
I AM MORE THAN JUST AFRAID.
I AM SCARED TO DEATH.
TONIGHT WAS GONNA BE
THE LAST NIGHT.
THIS WAS GONNA BE
THE LAST GIRL, I SWEAR.
HOW CAN YOU SWEAR
TO ANYTHING
WHEN YOU SAY YOU CAN'T EVEN
CONTROL IT YOURSELF?
THAT'S WHY
I BROUGHT HER HERE.
I-I KNEW
I NEEDED TO DO SOMETHING
THAT WOULD HIT ME
IN THE FACE --
SOMETHING TO MAKE THIS REAL,
SOMETHING TO HIT HOME.
WHY?
I DIDN'T HAVE THE STRENGTH
TO TELL YOU, AND...
I HAD TO DO SOMETHING THAT WOULD
TRIGGER ME TO WANT TO CHANGE.
NO.
NO -- WHY DO YOU
KILL PROSTITUTES?
WHY DO YOU HATE THEM
SO MUCH?
[ SIGHS ]
THANK YOU, MISS.
YOU BE SAFE, OKAY?
I WANT YOU TO GET US A ROOM.
THAT CORNER ROOM
OR ONE LIKE IT.
THEN SPEAK TO
THE OTHER GIRL IN 115.
I'LL BE IN TOUCH
WITH STREET CRIMES
AND GET US
SURVEILLANCE ASSISTANCE.
AND YOU'LL TELL DISPATCH TO KEEP
LOCAL UNITS OUT OF HERE
SO THEY DON' SPOOK ANYONE.
LISTEN, DON'T I.D. YOURSELF
FOR THE HOTEL CLERK.
WHY?
WELL, OUR KILLER
COULD CALL FIRST,
PRETEND TO BE
POLICE DISPATCH,
AND INQUIRE ABOUT THE OFFICERS
WORKING TONIGHT.
IT'S AN OLD TRICK
TO SPOT SURVEILLANCE.
RIGHT, AND THE CLERK,
KNOWING NO BETTER
JUST PASSES HIM STRAIGH THROUGH TO OUR ROOM.
I GET IT.
HE'S BEEN BETTER THAN US
EVERY STEP OF THE WAY.
LET'S BE BETTER
THAN HIM TONIGHT.
THERE ARE THINGS YOU DON'T KNOW
ABOUT MY CHILDHOOD...
...THINGS I'M AFRAID
TO TELL YOU.
Samantha: I KNOW YOU HAD
A TOUGH LIFE GROWING UP --
BOUNCING AROUND
FROM FOSTER HOMES.
CAN'T IMAGINE WHAT HELL
THAT WAS LIKE.
BUT YOU KNOW
HOW MUCH I LOVE YOU.
YOU CAN TELL ME ANYTHING.
EVERYTHING ABOUT ME
IS A LIE.
WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?
I'VE LIED SO OFTEN,
I DON'T --
I DON'T KNOW
WHAT THE TRUTH IS ANYMORE.
LIES ABOUT WHO I AM,
WHERE I'M FROM.
I CAN'T KEEP TRACK.
JUST TELL ME EVERYTHING,
OKAY?
I CAN'T HELP YOU UNLESS I KNOW
WHAT'S GOING ON INSIDE YOU.
MAKE ME UNDERSTAND.
I DIDN'T GROW UP
IN FOSTER HOMES.
I WOULD'VE BEEN
BETTER OFF IF I DID.
BUT I MET YOUR FOSTER PARENTS
IN COLLEGE.
NO,
I JUST CALLED THEM THAT.
THEY WERE A COUPLE TEACHERS
FROM HIGH SCHOOL
WHO TOOK INTEREST IN ME,
HELPED ME THROUGH COLLEGE.
WHAT ABOU YOUR REAL FAMILY?
MY MOM WAS A STRIPPER...
AND MY DAD WAS JUST SOME DUDE
PASSING THROUGH DALLAS.
I DID ASK HER ONCE,
YOU KNOW [CHUCKLES]
"WHY NOT JUST ABORT ME?
IT'D HAVE BEEN EASIER."
WHAT'D SHE SAY?
JESUS TOLD HER NOT TO.
DID SHE GO BACK TO STRIPPING
AFTER YOU WERE BORN?
NOT MUCH ELSE SHE COULD DO.
SINGLE MOTHER,
HIGH-SCHOOL DROPOUT --
WHAT ELSE IS THERE?
THAT'S A TOUGH WAY
TO RAISE A KID.
THEN, WHEN I'M 8 YEARS OLD,
AFTER A STRING
OF ASSHOLE BOYFRIENDS,
SHE MEETS DARNELL --
IN A.A., OF ALL PLACES.
SHE WAS A DRUNK?
HARD TO TAKE OFF
ALL YOUR CLOTHES
FOR A BUNCH OF STRANGE MEN.
WHAT STARTED OU AS MEDICINE FOR HER SHIF BECAME MEDICINE FOR LIFE.
BUT SHE DECIDED
TO GET HELP, THOUGH.
[ CHUCKLES ]
NO. NO.
SHE GOT POPPED
FOR HER THIRD D.U.I.
IT WAS COURT-ORDERED A.A.
AND...
DARNELL WAS A RECOVERING
ALCOHOLIC SHE MET IN A.A.?
NO.
HE WAS THE FUCKING ANTICHRIST.
NO, HE WAS
THIS DRUG-PUSHING PIMP
THAT LIKED TO HAWK
N.A. AND A.A. MEETINGS,
LOOKING FOR YOUNG GIRLS,
YOUNG PROSPECTS,
ONES THAT WERE
TRYING TO GET HELP.
YOU KNOW, ONES LOOKING
TO BETTER THEMSELVES,
EXCEPT HE WANTED
TO INTRODUCE THEM
TO A WORLD OF CRACK COCAINE
AND DISGUSTING MEN.
THIS IS EARLY '80s, SO NO ONE
KNEW ABOUT CRACK COCAINE THEN.
NO ONE KNEW HOW THAT SNAKE BIT,
AND IT BIT MY MOM HARD.
'CAUSE SHE'D HAVE BEEN
BETTER OFF TO DIE
THE FIRST TIME SHE EVER STUCK
THAT GLASS COCK IN HER MOUTH,
BUT SHE DIDN'T.
NO, THAT POISON JUST KILLED HER
A LITTLE BIT EVERY DAY,
BIT BY BIT, ROCK BY ROCK.
THEN, ONE DAY, I'M 14 YEARS OLD,
AND I COME HOME FROM SCHOOL,
AND THERE'S 10 DUDES
LINED UP TAKING TURNS
ON MY MOM
IN THE LIVING ROOM.
DARNELL --
HE'S SITTING ON MY BEANBAG,
EATING CHICKEN TENDERS,
LOOKS UP AT ME AND SAYS,
"HEY, LITTLE MAN,
I GOT YOU A CHEESEBURGER,
"BUT I ATE YOUR FRIES.
I ATE YOUR FRIES."
THAT'S WHAT HE SAYS.
AND THEN MY --
I LOOKED DOWN,
MY MOM'S GETTING RAMMED
BY SOME FAT JHERI-CURL
MOTHERFUCKER.
SHE SAYS TO ME,
"HEY, BABY, GET MY CRACK PIPE.
GET ME MY CRACK PIPE."
[ SCOFFS ]
SO I DID.
I WALKED OVER TO THE COUNTER,
AND I GOT THE CRACK PIPE.
I WALKED BACK OVER
TO MY MAMA --
FAT FUCK, HE'S STILL
GOING TO TOWN ON HER.
I PUT IT IN HER MOUTH
AND LIGHT IT,
WATCH HER INGEST IT DEEP INSIDE,
EYES ROLL
IN THE BACK OF HER HEAD
AS SHE JUST DRIFTS AWAY.
[ INHALES DEEPLY ]
AND THEN I PULLED OU A .38 PISTOL
I STOLE FROM DARNELL'S HOUSE,
AND I SHOT MY MOTHER
RIGHT BETWEEN THE EYES,
TURNED AROUND, SHOT THA FAT FUCK TWICE IN THE CHEST,
AND OLD DARNELL
LAUNCHES AT ME,
AND I SHOOT THAT MOTHERFUCKER
RIGHT IN THE MOUTH.
COPS HAD TO PULL HIS TEETH
OUT OF THE DRYWALL.
GOD, IT MAKES ME FEEL GOOD!
BABY, I...
I HAD NO IDEA.
WHY DIDN'T YOU
TELL ME THIS BEFORE?
I COULD'VE HELPED YOU.
WE COULD'VE
GONE THROUGH THIS TOGETHER.
SAM, YOU DID HELP ME.
YOU'VE DONE NOTHING
BUT LOVE ME.
ME -- YOU GAVE ME THE GREATES GIFT IN THIS ENTIRE WORLD
WITH OUR TWO
BEAUTIFUL CHILDREN.
I LET THIS HATE
MANIFEST INSIDE OF ME.
I LET EVIL WIN.
NOT YOU.
I DID THIS.
BUT IT DOESN'T HAVE TO
WIN TONIGHT.
Woman:
[ MUFFLED SHOUTING ]
WE SHOULD GO CHECK ON HER,
MAKE SURE SHE'S OKAY.
I'M GONNA BRING HER
SOME WATER.
NO.
NO, I NEED TO
TAKE CARE OF THIS.
I WANT TO BRING HER
SOME WATER.
I WANT TO MAKE SURE
SHE'S OKAY.
WE ARE NOT GONNA HUR THIS GIRL.
YEAH.
YEAH, LOOK,
I UNDERSTAND THAT, SIR, BUT --
I KNOW YOU NEED OUR CAPTAIN'S
APPROVAL, SIR,
BUT HE'S NOT AVAILABLE
TO GIVE IT,
AND WE NEED THOSE EXTRA
SURVEILLANCE UNITS
AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
WE'VE LEFT WORD,
AND SO HAS DISPATCH.
[ SIGHS ]
ALL RIGHT.
LET ME KNOW.
[ CELLPHONE BEEPS ]
HE'S WORKING ON IT.
YEAH, I'M SURE HE IS.
WE GOT FOUR GIRLS
WHO COME IN FROM PHILLY.
TWO WORK STRIP CLUBS
EVERY WEEKEND,
AND TWO WORK HOTELS.
RIGHT.
AND ONE GIRL USES A SERVICE
TO SET UP HER DATES ONLINE,
AND SHE'S GO SOME REGULARS.
NOW, OUR GIRL IN 115
SET UP HER DATE HERSELF.
SHE DIDN'T -- SHE DIDN' USE THE SERVICE.
RIGHT -- I MEAN, THE WEBSITE'S
RUN BY THE SERVICE,
BUT TONIGHT'S DATE,
SHE...
YEAH, SHE MADE THA HERSELF.
AND IT DIDN'T BOTHER HER
TO HAVE TO TRAVEL TO HIM?
NO. WHY WOULD IT?
SHE'S TRAVELED A HUNDRED TIMES
BEFORE WITH THE SERVICE.
AND, YOU KNOW WHAT?
SHE PROBABLY TIED IN
A FEE, AS WELL.
AND NONE OF THESE GIRLS
KNOW EACH OTHER?
WELL,
THE GIRL IN 115 SAID
SHE RECOGNIZED
ONE OF THE GIRLS IN THE VAN,
BUT SHE JUST WENT ON
TO A CLUB DOWNTOWN.
AND THE FRIEND THAT USUALLY
TRAVELS WITH HER
THIS TIME DID NOT.
NOT TONIGHT, NO.
SHE BOOKED A SEPARATE DATE
AND LEFT BY TRAIN IN
THE EARLY HOURS THIS MORNING.
SHE SAY WHERE?
YEAH, SHE DID.
UM...NEWARK.
IT'S STARTING TO MAKE
A LITTLE SENSE.
THESE GIRLS
SEE JOBS POSTED ONLINE
FOR A SHIT-TON OF MONEY
FOR A NON-SEXUAL ENCOUNTER.
AND "NON-SEXUAL ENCOUNTER"
USUALLY MEANS NICE OLD MEN
WHO CAN'T GET IT UP ANYMORE
WHO'VE GOT A LOT OF MONEY
TO PAY FOR WOMEN BECAUSE
THEY'RE YOUNG AND HOT.
WHAT HARD-UP WORKING GIRL
WOULD SAY NO?
NOT MANY.
BUT, OF COURSE,
THEY HAVE NO IDEA
HOW EASY THEY'RE MAKING I FOR HIM.
HE DAMN SURE KNOWS HOW HARD
HE'S MAKING IT FOR US.
YOU CAN COUNT ON THAT.
[ SNIFFLES ]
[ WHIMPERING ]
[ INHALES DEEPLY ]
[ PANTING ]
OH, PLEASE, HELP ME.
PLEASE, I GOT A KID.
I HAVE A LITTLE BOY.
PLEASE, DON'T HURT ME.
Samantha:
NO, NO, IT'S OKAY.
PLEASE.
IT'S OKAY.
NO, NO, NOBODY'S
GONNA HURT YOU, OKAY?
MY -- MY WRISTS REALLY HURT.
CAN YOU UNTIE ME?
[ SNIFFLES ]
YEAH, SURE.
THANKS.
[ PANTING ]
Richard: STOP.
NO.
NO, SHE'S BEEN DOWN HERE
FOR HOURS, AND HER WRISTS HURT.
STOP DOING THAT.
MISTER, PLEASE.
I WON'T SAY A WORD.
PLEASE. PLEA--
SHUT YOUR MOUTH
BEFORE I SHUT IT FOR YOU.
OH, NO, YOU WILL NOT.
YOU ARE NO GONNA HURT THIS GIRL.
LOOK AT ME, RICHARD.
[ SNAPS FINGERS ]
LOOK AT ME.
NOT THIS ONE, OKAY?
YOU'RE GONNA LE THIS ONE GO.
NO.
IF YOU LOVE OUR FAMILY,
YOU HAVE TO LET HER GO.
IT IS BECAUSE I LOVE OUR FAMILY
THAT I WILL NOT LET HER GO.
SHE'S NOT GONNA
SAY ANYTHING.
I-I PROMISE.
I-I-I'LL DISAPPEAR.
YOU'LL NEVER HEAR FROM ME AGAIN.
I'LL BE GONE.
PLEASE, NO! PLEASE!
[ WHIMPERING ]
Shh!
LOOK. HEY. HEY.
LOOK AT ME.
YOU KNOW SHE'LL TELL.
WITHIN HOURS
OF LETTING HER GO,
THE COPS WILL KNOCK DOWN
THAT DOOR
AND TAKE ME AWAY FOREVER.
YOU'LL HAVE TO SPEND
WHAT SAVINGS WE HAVE
TO KEEP ME OFF DEATH ROW.
YOU'LL HAVE TO SELL THIS HOUSE,
EVERYTHING WE OWN,
CHANGE YOUR NAME,
MOVE AWAY.
EVERYTHING WE'VE BUILT,
ALL THAT WE HAVE,
WILL BE GONE
HOURS AFTER I LET HER GO.
[ Voice breaking ]
SO, WHAT ARE YOU SAYING?
THAT THE ONLY OPTION WE HAVE
IS TO KILL HER?
THE ONLY OPTION I HAVE
IS TO KILL HER.
HOW DO YOU PLAN
ON DOING IT, HUH?
HOW DO YOU KILL THEM?
HOW WERE YOU
PLANNING ON...
DISPOSING OF HER BODY
BEFORE I GOT HOME?
TELL ME THAT, MY LOVE...
MY WONDERFUL HUSBAND...
...MY BEST FRIEND.
I'M GOING TO STRANGLE HER
WITH A BELT.
I'LL THEN TAKE HER BODY
TO THE BACK OF THE PROPERTY,
RUN HER THROUGH
THE WOOD CHIPPER.
THEN I'LL COLLEC WHAT'S LEFT OF HER,
PLACE I INTO A GARBAGE BAG,
AND LATER, WHEN I GO
TO PICK UP THE KIDS,
I'LL THROW IT IN A DUMPSTER
BEHIND D.J.'s PIZZA.
[ SOBS, SNIFFLES ]
YOU ARE NOT THIS PERSON.
I'VE LOVED YOU
MY ENTIRE ADULT LIFE,
AND...
AND THIS ISN'T YOU.
THE MAN I LOVE...
THE MAN WHO LOVES ME...
...HE WOULDN'T THINK
THESE THINGS.
HE WOULDN'T...
HE WOULDN'T DO
THESE HORRIBLE THINGS.
WE ALL HAVE A DARK SIDE.
YOU'RE JUST NOW
SEEING MINE.
I'M TRYING TO HELP YOU,
BUT YOU GOT TO HELP YOURSELF.
NO, I WARNED YOU
IT WOULD BE LIKE THIS
IF YOU GOT CARRIED AWAY
WITH THIS SHIT.
ARE YOU EVEN
FUCKING LISTENING TO ME?!
MONICA -- NO, DON'T DO THAT.
NO, DON'T DO IT.
DON'T BE SO FUCKING STUPID.
DON'T DO IT.
FUCK!
[ CLATTERING ]
[ SIGHS ]
[ SIGHS ]
[ EXHALES SHARPLY ]
YOU ALL RIGHT?
I'M FINE.
HOW LONG HAS THA BEEN AN ISSUE?
[ SCOFFS ]
WHAT?
I THOUGHT WE SAID
WE WERE GONNA CUT THE SHIT.
[ SIGHS ]
A WHILE NOW.
THAT'S WHY YOU LEF NARCOTICS?
SHE GOT LOCKED UP
IN THAT WHOLE PHARMACY MESS,
AND NO ONE REALLY WANTED
TO TRUST ME AFTER THAT.
THEY FIGURED
YOUR WIFE'S ON DOPE,
SO YOU MUST BE, AS WELL --
THAT IT?
[ SIGHS ]
I GUESS SO.
ARE YOU?
[ SCOFFS ]
ARE YOU STILL FUCKING
YOUR INFORMANTS?
NOT SINCE I MARRIED ONE.
I'M SORRY.
THAT WAS OUT OF LINE.
I KNOW IT WAS.
I'M SORRY.
THAT'S WHY YOU WANTED
TO PARTNER WITH ME, ISN'T IT?
WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
YOU FIGURED I'D KNOW WHAT IT IS
TO WALK IN YOUR SHOES A LITTLE.
I'D GIVE YOU ROOM,
NOT ASK TOO MANY QUESTIONS
OR JUDGE TOO HARSHLY.
[ CHUCKLES ]
IF I WERE IN YOUR SHOES...
...I'D HAVE DONE
THE SAME THING.
[ SIGHS ]
EVERYBODY HAS SECRETS.
EVERYBODY MAKES MISTAKES.
IT'S HOW WE DEAL WITH THEM
THAT DETERMINES WHO WE ARE.
THE KEY IS TO LIMI MISTAKES OF CHARACTER.
AND AS THE ONE MAN I KNOW
WHO WALKED THIS EARTH
SIN-FREE ONCE SAID,
"DON'T JUDGE
UNLESS YOU WANT TO BE JUDGED."
I WON'T JUDGE YOU.
WELL,
FOR WHAT IT'S WORTH...
I ASKED IF I COULD
PARTNER WITH YOU
BECAUSE I HEARD YOU WERE
THE BEST DETECTIVE THERE WAS.
CAPTAIN WANTS TO PULL ME
OFF THE CASE.
SAYS I'M MAKING IT PERSONAL.
ARE YOU?
I DON'T CARE WHAT PEOPLE SAY
BEHIND MY BACK,
AND I DON'T CARE
WHAT THE CAPTAIN THINKS.
MY WIFE WAS MY INFORMANT.
SHE WAS A PROSTITUTE.
I KNEW RIGHT AWAY
SHE DIDN'T WANT THAT LIFE.
SHE WAS NEW TO THIS COUNTRY,
COULD BARELY SPEAK THE LANGUAGE,
HAD NO JOB SKILLS.
SHE NEEDED HELP.
WE BECAME FRIENDS,
AND WE FELL IN LOVE,
AND I'M NOT ASHAMED
TO ADMIT THAT.
I'M NOT ASHAMED ONE BIT.
WE'VE BEEN MARRIED FOR 10 YEARS.
WE'VE GOT THREE BEAUTIFUL KIDS.
AND SHE GETS ME.
[ CHUCKLES ]
SHE GETS ME.
[ SIGHS ] SO, YOU'RE DAMN RIGHT.
IT IS PERSONAL.
NO ONE DESERVES
WHAT'S HAPPENING TO THESE GIRLS.
NO ONE.
YOU KNOW THIS IS WRONG,
RIGHT?
I NEVER SAID
IT WAS RIGHT...
BUT IT'S JUST.
[ SCOFFS ]
NO, LOVE IS JUST.
LOVE CAN'T MAKE SOMEONE
CHANGE WHAT THEY ARE.
MAYBE NOT.
BUT IF YOU
LOVE SOMEONE ENOUGH,
MAYBE THEY'LL
WANT TO CHANGE.
I LOVED MY MOM
MORE THAN ANYTHING.
SOMEONE'S LOVED
THESE GIRLS.
THAT'S NOT WHAT MAKES THEM
CHOOSE THE LIFESTYLE.
THEY CHOOSE I BECAUSE THEY ARE WEAK.
WELL...
WELL, MAYBE,
IF YOU LET HER GO...
...AND SHE SEES
YOUR KINDNESS AND TRUST...
...IT'LL CHANGE HER LIFE.
MAYBE SHE'LL
BECOME STRONG.
AND MAYBE SHE'LL DECIDE
TO CHANGE WHO SHE IS.
AND MAYBE SHE GOES TO THE COPS,
AND WE LOSE IT ALL.
NO. NO.
I DON'T THINK SHE WILL.
IS IT WORTH THE RISK?
AT THE END OF THE DAY,
IS SHE WORTH THE RISK --
TO LOSE EVERYTHING
BECAUSE YOU BELIEVE
SHE'S GONNA CHANGE
WHAT SHE IS?
SHE'S A WHORE, AND SHE'S ALWAYS
GONNA BE A WHORE.
DON'T TALK LIKE THAT.
YOU DON'T THINK
HAVING HER DOWN HERE,
PLANNING TO DO WHAT YOU'RE GONNA
DO TO HER IS ENOUGH?
YOU GOT TO THROW INSULTS
AT HER?
YOU DON'T THINK SHE KNOWS
WHO SHE IS?
YOU THINK,
AS SHE SITS HERE...
...AND SHE LISTENS
TO THAT GARBAGE,
SHE'S FORGETTING
WHAT GOT HER HERE?
NOT FOR ONE SECOND.
I BET SHE HASN' STOPPED THINKING ABOUT IT.
I BET YOU THAT,
AS SHE SITS HERE,
AND SHE PRAYS TO A GOD
SHE MAY OR MAY NOT BELIEVE IN...
TO SPARE HER LIFE SO SHE CAN
GET BACK TO HER LITTLE BOY.
SHE'S PROMISING HIM THA SHE'S GONNA CHANGE HER LIFE...
...AND SHE'S GONNA
GET OFF THE STREETS...
...AND SHE'S GONNA
GET OFF THE DRUGS.
SHE'S GONNA
TURN HER LIFE AROUND.
I BET YOU...
THAT SHE HAS MADE JUST ABOU EVERY PROMISE THAT THERE IS.
HAVEN'T YOU?
[ SNIFFLES ]
I KNOW YOU HAVE.
'CAUSE I'VE BEEN PRAYING
FOR THE SAME THING.
DON'T YOU SIT THERE
AND TELL ME
THAT THIS GIRL'S
GONNA GO TO THE POLICE.
NO, PEOPLE
ARE BROUGHT TO THE LIGH IN SO MANY DIFFERENT WAYS.
[ CHUCKLES ]
MAYBE -- MAYBE THE BLESSING
IN DISGUISE HERE IS THAT, UH --
IS THAT YOU BROUGHT HER
TO THE LIGHT...
THAT WE'VE, TOGETHER,
LED HER TO THE LIGHT.
Richard:
YOU ARE SO BEAUTIFUL.
ALWAYS THE PROTECTOR.
ALWAYS THE MOTHER.
[ WHIMPERS ]
MAYBE SHE NEVER HAD ANYONE
STAND UP FOR HER.
NO MOM OR DAD
TO SHOW HER THE WAY.
MAYBE SHE DID,
AND SHE SAID,
"FUCK IT. I WANT TO
GET HIGH AND WHORE."
OW.
DON'T EVER
DO THAT AGAIN.
LET GO OF ME.
I AM NOT SAYING THESE THINGS
TO BE MEAN.
I AM CALLING HER
WHAT SHE IS
SO YOU CAN WRAP YOUR HEAD
AROUND THE FAC THAT SHE IS TRASH.
[ Voice breaking ]
YOU'RE HURTING ME.
OW!
DO YOU WANT TO LOSE YOUR HOME
TO FILTH?
NO, BUT I DON'T THINK
WE HAVE TO LOSE ANYTHING.
[ WHIMPERS ]
COME TAKE A LOOK
AT THIS GUY.
[ SIGHS ]
ANY MENTION OF WHAT VEHICLE
HE'D BE DRIVING?
NO, HE JUST TELLS HER TO POS WHAT ROOM SHE'S IN ONLINE.
UNITS AREN' IN POSITION YET.
I CAN'T MAKE OU HIS TAGS.
THIS COULD BE HIM.
HE'S NERVOUS.
DOES THAT SURPRISE YOU?
OUR KILLER IS CONFIDENT.
THIS GUY IS NOT.
YEAH, WELL, HE'S GUILTY
OF SOMETHING.
CALL THE FRONT DESK
AND SEE IF SOMEONE
JUST CALLED IN FOR 115.
[ CELLPHONE BEEPING ]
[ Ringing ]
COME ON...
THEY'RE NOT ANSWERING.
WHAT'S HE UP TO?
[ ENGINE TURNS OVER ]
SON OF A BITCH! LET'S GO.
SOMETHING'S SCREWED UP HERE.
[ TIRES SQUEAL ]
ALL SURVEILLANCE UNITS
EN ROUTE TO OUR LOCATION,
RED CHEVY BLAZER
HAS JUST LEFT --
IS A POSSIBLE SUSPECT.
WHITE MALE, MID 30s,
HEADING SOUTH ON ROUTE 40.
WHERE'D HE GO?
I HAVE NO IDEA.
LET'S TAKE THIS LEFT.
ALL RIGHT.
LET'S TAKE A RIGH INTO THIS GAS STATION COMING UP.
COULD BE BEHIND
THE GAS STATION.
LET'S GO RIGH RIGHT HERE.
OKAY. SLOW DOWN. WHERE IS HE?
WHERE'D THE SON OF A BITCH GO?
CHECK THE RIGHT HERE.
WHERE IS HE? WHERE IS HE?
WHERE IS HE?
WHAT THE FUCK?
THAT'S HIM.
THERE HE IS.
WHAT THE --
ALL RIGHT,
LET'S GET HIS TAG.
KEEP YOUR DISTANCE.
DON'T FREAK HIM.
[ STATIC CRACKLES ]
OKAY, CAN WE RUN THIS PLATE?
NEW JERSEY PLATE...
WHAT THE HELL IS HE DOING?
...ZHB-52M.
OKAY, LET'S NO SPOOK HIM.
MAN: Unit 914, tag returns
John Davis on a '96 Blazer.
[ STATIC CRACKLES ]
ALL SURVEILLANCE UNITS,
LOOKS LIKE WE'RE HEADING BACK
NORTHBOUND ON ROUTE 40.
HEADING BACK NORTHBOUND
ON ROUTE 40.
[ STATIC CRACKLES ]
Unit 914, tag returns
no wants, no warrants.
[ STATIC CRACKLES ]
COPY THAT.
OKAY, HE'S PARKING IT UP.
HOLD BACK. HOLD BACK.
OH, JESUS.
OH, DEAR GOD.
[ CHUCKLES ]
[ CHUCKLES ]
YOU GOT TO BE KIDDING ME.
YOU'RE THE SHEEP,
AND I'M THE WOLF.
MAKES US PERFEC FOR ONE ANOTHER.
SHEEP NOURISHES THE FAMILY.
THE WOLF PROTECTS IT.
YEAH, BUT YOU'RE NO PROTECTING US RIGHT NOW.
YOU'RE PUTTING US
IN DANGER.
YEAH, BUT I'M GONNA
FIX IT.
[ INHALES DEEPLY ]
[ EXHALES DEEPLY ]
BABY...
DON'T DO THIS.
I LOVE YOU.
I LOVE YOU, TOO.
THAT'S WHY
I GOT TO DO IT.
STOP IT!
[ MUFFLED SCREAMING ]
STOP IT RIGHT NOW!
RICHARD, SHE CAN'T BREATHE!
STOP IT, OR I'M LEAVING,
AND I'M NEVER COMING BACK!
STOP IT!
YOU CAN NEVER LEAVE ME.
THEN YOU BETTER
START LISTENING TO ME.
ALL I WANT TO DO
IS FIX THIS, BABY.
OKAY, OKAY,
BUT THAT STARTS
BY US MAKING
GOOD DECISIONS TOGETHER.
THIS IS WHAT YOU WANT?
YEAH.
OKAY.
BUT I NEED YOU
TO MAKE ME A PROMISE.
ANYTHING.
WHEN THEY COME FOR ME,
AND THEY WILL COME...
I WANT YOU TO KILL ME.
WHAT?
YEAH.
I WANT YOU TO TAKE MY GUN,
PLACE IT AGAINST MY TEMPLE,
AND BLOW
MY FUCKING BRAINS OUT.
YOU'RE CRAZY.
WHY WOULD YOU SAY
SOMETHING LIKE THAT?
BECAUSE THE LAST THING
I WANT TO SEE IN THIS WORLD...
IS YOUR BEAUTIFUL SMILE.
YOU'RE BEING INSANE.
[ PANTING ]
I AM TRYING TO
HOLD IT TOGETHER HERE,
BUT I...I CAN'T.
I'M LOSING MY MIND,
AND YOU ARE OUT OF CONTROL.
LOOK, SAM,
JUST CALM DOWN, OKAY?
DON'T YOU TELL ME
TO CALM DOWN!
YOU WANT TO SEE
A SHEEP BECOME A WOLF?
TELL ME
TO CALM DOWN AGAIN.
BABY, ALL I'M TRYING
TO SAY --
DON'T YOU "BABY" ME.
I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE TRYING
TO PULL HERE.
I KNOW
WHAT YOU'RE DOING.
I'M NOT TRYING
TO PULL ANYTHING.
OH, WE LET HER GO,
AND I END UP KILLING YOU?
ARE YOU SERIOUS?
YOU'RE DAMN RIGH I'M SERIOUS.
OH, JUST WHEN I THINK
YOU CAN'T PUSH ME
ANY FURTHER OVER THE EDGE --
BAM! -- YOU SOMEHOW MANAGE.
WELL, I'M NOT GOING
TO PRISON,
AND I'M NOT PUTTING
YOU AND THE KIDS THROUGH A TRIAL
AND THE MEDIA FRENZY
THAT FOLLOWS.
DON'T YOU DO THAT.
DON'T YOU DARE PULL
OUR KIDS INTO THIS,
YOU SELFISH BASTARD.
I'M TRYING TO BE UNSELFISH.
WHAT I'M SAYING TO YOU
IS I'D RATHER DIE
THAN PUT YOU THROUGH HELL.
THERE IS NO ONE PART OF THIS SCENARIO
THAT DOESN' PUT US THROUGH HELL.
DON'T YOU SEE THAT?
YES, THERE IS.
YOU'RE THE ONE
THAT'S NOT SEEING IT.
OH, YEAH.
YEAH, I'M SORRY.
I-I FORGOT.
THERE'S THAT ONE SCENARIO
WHERE YOU KILL AN INNOCENT GIRL
IN OUR GARAGE
AND RUN HER BODY
THROUGH A WOOD CHIPPER!
THERE AIN'T ONE ASPEC OF THAT BITCH THAT IS INNOCENT.
ARE ANY OF US
REALLY INNOCENT, RICHARD?
YEAH, MY KIDS ARE.
AND THEY DON'T DESERVE
TO PAY FOR MY MISTAKES.
THEY DESERVE TO BE HAPPY.
THEY DESERVE TO HAVE A CHANCE
AT A HAPPY LIFE.
AND THEY WILL HAVE ONE.
NOT IF SHE GOES TO THE COPS.
SHE WON'T.
[ CHUCKLES ]
GET THIS THROUGH
YOUR THICK SKULL --
SHE DIES HERE TONIGHT!
[ KNOCK ON DOOR ]
[ KNOCKS ON DOOR ]
THERE'S A COP
AT THE DOOR.
[ SIGHS ]
BABY,
WHAT ARE WE GONNA DO?
ALL RIGHT, JUST RELAX.
[ SIGHS ]
WHAT ARE THEY DOING HERE?
ARE YOU SURE SOMEBODY
DIDN'T SEE YOU PICK HER UP?
NO ONE SAW ME DO ANYTHING.
HOW CAN YOU BE SO SURE?
WHAT DO THEY WANT?
IT'S 9:00 ON A FRIDAY NIGHT.
CRAZY MR. HARRIS
CALLED ME THIS WEEK,
AND HE SAID HE WAS
REQUESTING EXTRA PATROLS.
SOMETHING ABOUT VANDALISMS
OR SOMETHING. I DON'T KNOW.
I'M SURE THEY'RE JUST HERE
TO ASK SOME QUESTIONS.
HOW DO YOU KNOW
THEY'RE NOT HERE FOR YOU?
BECAUSE IF THEY WERE
HERE FOR ME,
THEY WOULDN'T KNOCK ON THE DOOR
WITH ONE GUY.
THEY'D KNOCK DOWN THE DOOR
WITH 10.
[ KNOCK ON DOOR ]
JUST GO WAI IN THE BEDROOM, OKAY?
I'LL HANDLE IT.
HELLO, CAPTAIN,
THIS IS MAYFIELD.
I'VE BEEN TRYING TO REACH YOU.
WATCH COMMANDER
WILL NOT APPROVE OVERTIME
WITHOUT YOUR PERSONAL OKAY.
PLEASE GIVE ME A CALL
WHEN YOU CAN.
THANK YOU. BYE-BYE.
[ CELLPHONE RINGS ]
[ CELLPHONE BEEPS ]
YEAH?
NO. NOTHING.
SHE'S BEEN IN THAT CHAT ROOM
THAT SHE MET HIM IN.
POSTED A FEW MESSAGES,
BUT THE ONLY HITS HAVE COME FROM
REGULARS BACK IN PHILLY.
THAT'S STRANGE.
WHAT TIME WAS HE SUPPOSED TO
PICK HER UP?
NEVER GAVE AN EXACT TIME.
JUST SAID SOME POIN AFTER 7:00.
LISTEN,
I'M GONNA RUN THESE TAGS
AND CROSS-REFERENCE THEM
WITH THE DATABASE.
Well, then let's have her
post something
saying she's
tired of waiting,
and she's going back to Philly
if he doesn't come soon.
YEAH -- I THINK SHE'S GONNA
START TO DETOX SOON,
SO IF WE DON'T ACT QUICKLY,
SHE'S GONNA NEED ANOTHER FIX.
We might never get
another shot like this.
We got to do everything we can
to motivate him to show.
AND WHAT IF
HE DOESN'T SHOW?
LET'S JUST PRAY HE DOES.
[ CELLPHONE BEEPS ]
[ INDISTINCT CONVERSATION ]
[ LOCK ENGAGES ]
[ SIGHS ] IS IT OVER?
CAN I --
Shh!
[ SIGHS ]
SO, I KNOW YOU'RE TIRED
AND UNCOMFORTABLE,
BUT HANG IN THERE, OKAY?
WE'RE GETTING CLOSE
TO GETTING YOU OUT OF THERE.
TELL ME ABOUT YOUR SON.
HE'S 3.
HE'S A GOOD BOY.
HE SMILES ALL THE TIME.
WHAT'S HIS NAME?
JOHN TYLER.
NAMED AFTER
YOUR FATHER, RIGHT?
HOW'D YOU KNOW THAT?
MM, IT'S A STRONG NAME.
I JUST FIGURED IT HAD TO COME
FROM SOMEONE YOU LOVED.
[ CLEARS THROAT ]
MY DAD DIED, UM,
WHEN I WAS 9.
[ SIGHS ]
I LOVED HIM A LOT.
YEAH, I BET YOU DID.
[ CHUCKLES NERVOUSLY ]
WAS HIS PASSING THE REASON
THAT YOU'RE HERE?
YEAH.
MY MOM BECAME ABSENT.
I BECAME REBELLIOUS.
I TRIED HEROIN WITH MY BOYFRIEND
IN HIGH SCHOOL, AND [SIGHS]
BY THE TIME I WAS 19,
I HAD A $200-A-DAY HABIT,
AND THE ONLY THING
LEFT TO SELL WAS ME.
I'M SO SORRY.
SO AM I.
[ SIGHS ]
OKAY, I KNOW I'M NEW
TO HOMICIDE, BUT HEAR ME OUT.
NOW, IF WE WERE
DOPE DEALERS,
WE WOULD HAVE
SEVERAL GUYS SET UP
AT MULTIPLE HOTELS
ACROSS THE CITY.
ONE PLACE GETS SHUT DOWN,
IT DOESN'T MATTER.
WE'RE STILL IN BUSINESS.
I DON'T FOLLOW.
WHAT IF OUR GUY HAS SET UP
MULTIPLE PROSTITUTES
AT SEVERAL HOTELS
ACROSS THE CITY?
HE WATCHES THEM, MAKES SURE
THEY FOLLOW ALL HIS RULES,
AND MAKES SURE
WE'RE NOT AROUND.
RIGHT.
HE HAS A TON OF OPTIONS.
MAKES IT ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE
TO NARROW DOWN.
I WOULD SAY HIS PROFILE
DOESN'T FIT THOSE ACTIONS.
I WOULD SAY THAT MOS VIOLENT SERIAL KILLERS
FOCUS IN ON
THEIR INDIVIDUAL TARGETS,
AND I WOULD SAY THA EVERY HOMICIDE COP AROUND
WOULD SAY YOU WERE WRONG.
OKAY.
BUT WHAT DO YOU SAY?
I THINK YOU
JUST MAY BE RIGHT.
[ SIREN WAILING ]
I WAS JUS GIVING HER SOME WATER.
OW!
AAH!
DON'T EVER LIE TO ME.
OW!
YOU'RE HURTING ME.
YEAH?
[ WHIMPERS ]
YEAH, THAT'S WHAT YOU WANT,
ISN'T IT?
HUH?
YES.
YOU WANT TO FEEL
THE POWER OF EVIL?
YEAH.
YEAH, HURT ME
LIKE YOU WANT TO HURT HER.
YOU'RE NOTHING LIKE HER.
YOU NEVER WILL BE.
[ GROANS ]
[ EXHALES SHARPLY ]
YOU CAN LET HER GO.
IT'S YOUR CALL.
RICHARD, WAIT.
MM.
NO, UNTIE HER.
TAKE HER TO THE BUS STATION.
SEND HER HOME.
YOU TRUST HER,
AND I TRUST YOU.
BUT YOU KNOW THE DEAL.
I'M GOING TO BED.
SWEETHEART?
YEAH?
I TRUST YOU MORE.
WE'RE FUCKED.
WHY?
OUR GIRL IN 115 IS TRYING
TO BOOK A DATE
FOR TOMORROW NIGHT, OKAY?
SHE'S FOUND THIS GUY,
BUT HE WANTS TWO GIRLS,
AND ONE OF THEM NEEDS TO BE
A REDHEAD WITH FRECKLES.
AND SHE HAS TO FIND HER?
RIGHT.
SO, SHE LOGGED ONLINE
AND TRIED TO TRACK A FRIEND
WHO HAS -- WHO SUITS
THAT DESCRIPTION.
OKAY.
AND SHE FOUND THAT GIRL,
BUT THE GIRL
RECENTLY POSTED ONLINE
THAT SHE HAD JUST ARRIVED A THE PLEASANTVILLE BUS STATION
A FEW HOURS AGO.
WORKING THE CORNERS
IN PLEASANTVILLE?
NO.
I THINK SHE'S BOOKED
A DATE WITH OUR GUY.
I LOOKED TO SEE WHA HE HAD WRITTEN ON 115'S WALL,
AND THEN I LOOKED TO SEE WHA HE WROTE ON THIS GIRL'S WALL,
AND IT IS SO SIMILAR,
IT HAS TO BE THE SAME GUY.
THERE'S NO DOUBT ABOUT IT.
BUT THIS TIME, HE WROTE
WHAT CAR HE WOULD BE IN.
WHICH IS?
WHICH IS
A BLACK FOUR-DOOR SEDAN.
OKAY. I'LL GET THAT DESCRIPTION
OUT TO OUR SURVEILLANCE UNITS.
I WANT YOU TO GE ON THE PHONE
AND TALK TO THE PEOPLE
OVER AT THAT BUS STATION.
FIND OUT IF THEY'VE GO ANY SECURITY VIDEO.
WHAT TIME DID SHE ARRIVE?
WELL, SHE LOGGED ONLINE
AT 7:00 P.M.
HE'S HAD HER FOR HOURS.
OH, YEAH,
WE DON'T HAVE MUCH TIME,
IF ANY TIME AT ALL --
WE GOT TO GO.
SARGE, I NEED YOU
TO MOVE YOUR UNITS
OVER TO THE HOTELS
THAT BORDER PLEASANTVILLE
AND ALSO SEND A UNIT, CODE 3,
OVER TO THE BUS STATION.
THEY MAY HAVE
SECURITY VIDEO.
[ STATIC CRACKLES ]
YOU DON'T HAVE TO TELL ME
SOMETHING YOU DON'T BELIEVE.
[ Voice breaking ]
I KNOW.
WHAT MADE YOU
CHANGE YOUR MIND?
OUR CHILDREN
NEED THEIR FATHER.
AND I NEED MY HUSBAND.
I'M SO SORRY.
YOU CAN NEVER
PUT ME IN A POSITION
LIKE THIS AGAIN.
WE HAVE TO BE BETTER
FOR OUR CHILDREN...
FOR OURSELVES.
I WILL BE.
I PROMISE YOU.
[ WHIMPERS ]
MAKE SURE
SHE DOESN'T SUFFER, OKAY?
OF COURSE.
[ SNIFFLES ]
[ SIGHS ]
I AM SO SORRY.
[ SNIFFLES ]
MAY GOD HAVE MERCY
ON OUR SOULS.
YEP.
OKAY. THANK YOU.
OKAY.
HERE'S WHAT THEY HAVE.
SO, THEY SEE HER
GETTING OFF THE BUS
AND WAITING 15 MINUTES
AT THE FRONT OF THE TERMINAL.
THEN THEY SEE HER ON A PAY PHONE
FOR LESS THAN A MINUTE.
SHE THEN WALKS
ACROSS THE STREET TO THE STORE.
IN THE STORE, WE SEE HER
BUYING SOME CIGARETTES,
AND THEN WHEN SHE EXITS,
INSTEAD OF WALKING
TOWARDS THE BUS STATION,
SHE WALKS AROUND THE CORNER
TO THE BACK ALLEY OF THE STORE.
OKAY.
I WANT YOU TO CALL
THE PHONE COMPANY
AND HAVE THEM PULL
ALL INCOMING CALLS
TO THAT PAY PHONE.
OKAY, YOU MEAN OUTGOING.
I MEAN INCOMING.
HE CALLED HER,
TOLD HER TO CROSS THE STREE SO HE COULD SPOT SURVEILLANCE.
THE SON OF A BITCH KNEW
THERE WERE CAMERAS
IN BOTH PLACES.
MULTIPLE GIRLS,
MULTIPLE LOCATIONS,
MULTIPLE PRECAUTIONS.
THIS GUY IS SMART,
PATIENT, AND METHODICAL.
YEAH, HE WORKS EVERY ANGLE.
HE'S TOO SMART.
YEAH, BUT WHA DO YOU MEAN BY THAT?
HE KNOWS TOO MUCH ABOU HOW WE DO OUR JOB
AND HOW TO KEEP US
GUESSING.
LIKE HOW HE KILLS THEM
DIFFERENT WAYS.
AND DISPOSES OF THE BODIES
IN DIFFERENT WAYS.
HE STABS A FEW.
HE STRANGLES A FEW.
HE BURNS A FEW.
HE DROWNS A FEW IN THE OCEAN.
ALL OF THIS JUST STOPS US
MAKING A PROFILE ON HIM.
AND TO MAKE IT APPEAR
THAT THERE ARE MULTIPLE KILLERS.
I HATE TO SAY IT, BUT...
SOUNDS LIKE HE'S A COP.
[ TELEPHONE RINGS ]
YEP?
OKAY. GOOD.
AND YOU'RE SURE
IT'S THE SAME GUY?
YEAH.
YEAH, WE'LL MAKE SURE
YOU GET YOUR REWARD.
GOOD. STAND BY.
OKAY, HE JUST POSTED
ON HER WALL.
IT'S THE SAME ONE?
"BE READY IN 15 MINUTES."
SHE STILL WILLING
TO GET IN THE CAR WITH HIM?
YEP.
ALL RIGHT, NOW,
HE'S ALREADY HAD ONE WOMAN.
WHY'S HE GOING AFTER
THIS ONE?
MAYBE HE'S RAISING
THE STAKES.
MAYBE...
TWO GIRLS IN ONE NIGHT?
MAYBE WE'RE JUS WAY OFF THE MARK.
[ WHIMPERING ]
SAMANTHA?
[ WHIMPERING STOPS ]
PLEASE STAY.
I NEED YOU TO STAY.
[ Voice breaking ]
WHY?
I CAN'T DO IT ALONE.
I CAN'T STAY DOWN HERE
AND WATCH YOU KILL HER.
I'M ASKING YOU TO COME OVER HERE
AND HELP ME KILL HER.
[ WHIMPERS ]
NO!
I NEED YOU
TO COME OVER HERE,
STAND BY MY SIDE,
AND SEE THIS TO THE END.
YOU'VE DONE THIS
BY YOURSELF BEFORE.
WHY DO YOU NEED ME NOW?
TONIGHT CHANGED EVERYTHING.
I CAN'T DO IT ALONE.
I NEED MY WIFE.
[ WHIMPERING ]
[ SOBBING ]
I NEVER THOUGHT I COULD
LOVE SOMEBODY THIS MUCH.
[ SNIFFLES ]
BUT I DO.
I'VE GOT TO WARN YOU.
THERE IS SOMETHING
EXTREMELY POWERFUL
ABOUT TAKING A HUMAN LIFE.
I KNOW. I CAN FEEL IT.
[ MUFFLED SCREAM ]
[ GASPS ]
[ WHIMPERING CONTINUES ]
IT'S BEEN 20 MINUTES.
I WOULDN'T BE SURPRISED
IF HE'S ACROSS
THE STREET RIGHT NOW,
JUST SITTING AND WATCHING.
IT'S NOT A BLACK SEDAN,
BUT IT'S BLACK.
COULD HAVE
MORE THAN ONE VEHICLE.
SHIT.
THIS COULD BE OUR GUY.
I KNOW THIS GUY.
REALLY?
HE DID TIME FOR
THE VIOLENT RAPE AND ASSAUL OF A PROSTITUTE
A FEW YEARS AGO.
I INTERVIEWED HIM
AFTER MURDER THREE,
BUT HE HAD
AN AIRTIGHT ALIBI.
MAYBE HE'S WORKING
WITH A PARTNER.
BREAK OUR SURVEILLANCE UNITS
AND SEND THEM THIS WAY, ASAP.

Woman:

[ CHUCKLES ] THANKS FOR
LETTING ME GET CLEANED UP.
DON'T TAKE THIS THE WRONG WAY,
BUT, UM, YOU TWO ARE NUTS.
[ CHUCKLES ]
I MEAN, I'VE BEEN HIRED
TO DO SOME KINKY SHIT,
BUT THAT --
THAT TAKES THE CAKE.
I WAS ACTUALLY SCARED
AT TIMES.
I KNOW.
I COULD SEE IT ON YOUR FACE.
AND I FELT SO BAD.
THAT'S ONE HELL OF A WAY
TO GET OFF.
[ CHUCKLES ]
NO, IT'S NOT JUST ABOUT THAT.
SOMETIMES, WE JUST CREATE
THESE SCENARIOS FOR MY RESEARCH.
WHAT KIND OF RESEARCH?
I'M A WRITER.
YOU WRITE BOOKS?
NO, PLAYS AND MOVIES,
MOSTLY.
NO KIDDING.
SO, I COULD BECOME A CHARACTER
IN YOUR MOVIE?
YOU ALREADY ARE.
WOW, YOU GUYS
ARE REALLY BELIEVABLE.
YEAH, WELL, WE, UM...
WE MET IN THEATER CLASS
IN COLLEGE,
SO WE FANCY OURSELVES
THESPIANS.
Richard: BUT I AM

COMPARED TO
MY BEAUTIFUL WIFE.
AWW.
AND THANK YOU SO MUCH
FOR COMING
ALL THE WAY DOWN FROM PHILLY.
I MEAN, WITH ALL THE STUFF
GOING ON AROUND HERE...

AND, UH, AS I PROMISED.
THANKS.
LOVE YOU, BABY.
Mayfield: OKAY, ALL RIGHT.
THANKS, SARGE.
OKAY. BYE-BYE.
HERE YOU GO.
Jesse: HOW'S 115?
OH, SHE'S GOOD.
SHE WANTED TO KNOW IF SHE WAS
STILL GONNA GET HER 10 GRAND.
SO, I GAVE HER
THE CAPTAIN'S CELLPHONE NUMBER.
[ CHUCKLES ]
[ CHUCKLES ]
SO, UH...
THERE WASN'T MUCH EVIDENCE
IN HIS TRUCK, HUH?
OH, NOT MUCH, BUT WE GO UNITS OVER THERE
SECURING HIS HOUSE AND
HIS OTHER VEHICLES RIGHT NOW.
DOES HE GOT A BLACK SEDAN?
WELL, THE ONLY OTHER VEHICLE
THAT IS THERE NOW PRESENTLY
IS A GREEN JEEP.
DOESN'T MEAN HE DOESN' HAVE A BLACK SEDAN.
SO, WHEN --
WHEN YOU INTERVIEWED HIM,
I MEAN, YOU THOUGH HE WAS THE GUY, RIGHT?
LIKE I SAID,
HE HAD AN AIRTIGHT ALIBI.
I KNOW, BUT BEFORE YOU
CONFIRMED HIS ALIBI,
YOU THOUGHT HE WAS THE GUY?
I KNEW HE WAS A SCUMBAG.
YOU THINK HE WAS A KILLER?
NO. I THOUGHT HE WAS A SICK
SEXUAL PREDATOR, WHICH HE WAS.
I THOUGHT HE WOULD GO ON
HURTING PEOPLE, AS HE DID.
DID I THINK HE WAS
CAPABLE OF THIS? NO.
SO I GUESS I WAS WRONG.
WELL, MAYBE.
[ SIGHS ]
[ SIGHS ]
MAYBE NOT.
WELL, HE'S NOT GONNA
HURT ANYBODY ELSE,
THAT'S FOR SURE.
THOSE DAYS ARE OVER
FOR HIM.
YEAH, BUT, LOOK, DAVE,

STOP.
YOU CAN "WHAT IF" THIS BULLSHI ALL NIGHT LONG

I MEAN, YOU KNOW
WHAT THAT MEANS.
YEAH. I KNOW.
AND THEN WHAT?
THERE'S AN OLD SAYING --

COME IN A ROAR.
"SOMETIMES
IT'S A QUIET WHISPER
"IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGH "THAT SAYS, 'DON'T QUIT.
GET UP IN THE MORNING.
TRY AGAIN'".
THAT'S WHA WE'RE GONNA DO.
FINISH YOUR BEER.

[ EXHALES DEEPLY ]
WHAT DO WE GOT?
[ SIGHS ]
PATROL UNITS RESPONDED
AFTER A JOGGER
FOUND HER THIS MORNING.
IT LOOKS LIKE SHE WAS
DRAGGED DOWN THE HILL
AND JUST DUMPED HERE.
YOU TELL CRIME SCENE?
THEY'RE EN ROUTE.
GOT STUCK ON
A TRIPLE MURDER DOWNTOWN.
[ BIRDS SQUAWK ]
SO, LOOK, THE GUY
I KILLED LAST NIGHT --
IS THERE ANY WAY
HE COULD HAVE DONE THIS AND --
MULTIPLE WITNESSES CONFIRM
THAT HE WAS AT THE THIRD AVENUE
STRIP CLUB
UNTIL JUST 20 MINUTES
BEFORE WE SPOTTED HIM.
[ SIGHS ]
OKAY, SO HE HAD A PARTNER.
HE HAD
SOME SORT OF ACCOMPLICE.
NO.
OUR GUY WORKS ALONE.
[ EXHALES DEEPLY ]
SHIT.
HERE COMES THE CAPTAIN.
WHAT ARE YOU GONNA
SAY TO HIM?

WHAT THE HELL IS THAT?
[ SIGHS ]
GOOD MORNING, CAPTAIN.
WHAT THE HELL KIND OF MESS
IS THIS?
THE WORST KIND, SIR.
IS SHE NUMBER 11?
YES, SIR.
NOW, SEE, I THOUGH YOU GOT THE BASTARD.
WELL, WE DIDN'T.
[ CHUCKLES ]
YOU I.D. HER?
SHE DIDN'T HAVE
ANY IDENTIFICATION ON HER.
WE'LL HAVE TO SEND HER PRINTS
OFF FOR A POSITIVE I.D.
SO, YOU KNOW
WHAT THIS MEANS.
CAPTAIN --
I'M NOT TALKING TO YOU.
IT MEANS YOU KILLED
AN INNOCENT MAN.
OH, INNOCENT,
MY FUCKING A--
SHUT THE FUCK UP.
BOTH OF YOU
ARE ON ADMIN LEAVE,
PENDING THE INVESTIGATION
INTO THE SHOOTING LAST NIGHT.
DETECTIVE OXNEY AND GAINER
ARE EN ROUTE.
THEY'LL TAKE OVER
THE CRIME SCENE.
YOU GIVE THEM YOUR NOTES
AND YOUR CASE FILES.
THEY'LL HANDLE THE CASE
FROM HERE.
CAPTAIN, THAT WOULD BE
A MISTAKE.
THOSE TWO WILL NEVER
CATCH THIS GUY,
AND WE ARE CLOSE.
NOW, IF YOU WAN THE CASE SOLVED,
GIVE US ANOTHER WEEK.
I REALLY DON' WANT TO HEAR IT, DAVE.
I GAVE YOU A LOT OF ROPE
ON THIS CASE,
AND YOU HUNG YOURSELF.
SO, IF YOU'RE CLEARED OF KILLING
THAT MAN LAST NIGHT,
I'LL PUT YOU BACK
IN THE ROTATION
OR ACCEP YOUR TRANSFER REQUEST.
EITHER WAY,
I DON'T GIVE A SHIT.
I GOT TO GO
CALL THE CHIEF.
