YOU KNOW THE NEWSPAPERS
HAVE NICKNAMED THE COED KILLER
"THE BLACK ANGEL."
THE MURDERS HAVENALL HAPPENED
IN ONE PART OF TOWN.
BUT THE VICTIMS
ALL KNEW ONE ANOTHER
AT THE SAME SCHOOL.
THE BLACK ANGEL PROBABLY
KNEW THE VICTIMS PERSONALLY.
AW. ITS A SHAME.
THERES A YOUNG WOMAN HERE NOW
GOING THROUGH THE MUG SHOTS,
TRYING TO IDENTIFY THE KILLER.
- HE MAY BE
A FORMER BOYFRIEND OF HERS.
- OH, YES. LEE FAULKNER.
DID SHE MAKE

OKAY. LETS GO
AND TALK TO HER.
MISS LEE FAULKNER,
RYDELL KING.
HELLO.
NOW LET ME
GET MY FILE.
ITS NICE OF YOU
TO COME DOWN AND HELP US
WITH THIS INVESTIGATION.
NOW ID LIKE
TO ASK YOU A FEW QUESTIONS
CONCERNING CAROL WILLIAMS.
ANYTHING I CAN DO
TO HELP.
HAVE YOU SEEN HER PARENTS?
YES, HER FATHER
CAME DOWN...
FROM IRELAND
FOR THE FUNERAL,
AND HER MOM DIED
A FEW YEARS BACK.
UH-HUH.
AND HOW ARE YOU AND THE GIRLS
THAT KNEW CAROL TAKING THIS?
ITS BEEN REAL SAD.
CAROL WAS
A REAL CLOSE FRIEND,
ALMOST LIKE A SISTER.
HOW LONG
HAVE YOU KNOWN CAROL?
FOUR YEARS.
DO YOU LIVE AT, UH,
4936 WINTERDALE DRIVE?
YEAH.
DO YOU KNOW OF ANYONE
THAT MIGHT HAVE WANTED
CAROL KILLED?
NO. CAROL WAS
A REAL NICE PERSON.
SHE HAD LOTS OF FRIENDS,
NOT ENEMIES, NOT ANYBODY
WHO WOULD WANT TO KILL HER.
DID YOU LOOK
AT ALL THE PHOTOS?
MM-HMM.
ANY OF THESE MEN
FRIENDS OF CAROLS?
NO.
ARE YOU SURE?
HAVE YOU KNOWN
ANY OF THESE PEOPLE BEFORE?
NO.
WHAT ABOUT JAMES SCOTT?
DONT YOU KNOW HIM?
WASNT HE GOING
WITH CAROL?
AND ISNT HE NOW
YOUR CURRENT BOYFRIEND
AND LOVER?
WELL, YES.
AND WASNT JIMMY
WITH YOU YESTERDAY?
NO, I DIDNT SEE HIM.
THATS SURPRISING.
I SPOKE TO SEVERAL
OF THE GIRLS THAT TOLD ME
THAT JIMMY WAS WITH YOU.
AND NOT ONLY THAT,
BUT JIMMY AND CAROL
HAD AN ARGUMENT,
AND JIMMY LEFT CAROL
BECAUSE OF YOU.
NOW YOU GONNA TELL ME
YOU DONT KNOW ANYTHING
ABOUT THAT?

IM TIRED.
NO, YOU CANT!
SIT DOWN!
NOW LETS JUSCUT THE BULLSHIT!
ALL RIGHT,
DOES THIS SOUND FAMILIAR--
ARRESTING-OFFICER JOHNSON,
PROSTITUTION,
CARSON HEIGHTS MOTEL?
DOES THIS LOOK FAMILIAR?
YOU KNOW, YOU MUST THINK

NOW WE FOUND A HELL
OF A LOT MORE LAST NIGHT THAN
JUST A COUPLE OF DEAD BODIES.
DID I DO ANYTHING WRONG?
DID I DO ANYTHING WRONG--

HOW ABOUT THAT MAGIC!
YEAH, ALL RIGHT.
[ Magician ] THE ONLY THING
A MAGICIAN EVER REALLY DOES
IS TO ASK ONE QUESTION.
"WHATS REAL
AND WHATS ILLUSION?"
LETS GO FOR A SWIM.
[ Magician ]
WHAT CAN BE MORE REAL
THAN A NEWSPAPER?
YOU ALL KNOW EVERYTHING YOU READ
IN THE NEWSPAPER IS TRUE.
MAYBE LATER, OKAY?
HERES A NEWSPAPER
THATS VERY SOLID AND VERY REAL.
I LIKE THIS.
IF I WERE TO TEAR THIS PAPER
INTO SHREDS, IT WOULD BECOME
A TORN NEWSPAPER,
IMPOSSIBLE TO PUT BACK
TO ITS ORIGINAL ONE PIECE.
SO THAT YOU RECOGNIZE THIS
NEWSPAPER WHEN YOU SEE IT AGAIN,
NO, LATER.
IM PAGING THROUGH IT TO
REMEMBER A PICTURE FROM WITHIN.
I WANT TO TALK TO YOU.
SO TALK. JESUS.
W-WERE IN FRONT OF FRIENDS.
NOW THE ILLUSION BEGINS.
YOUR FRIENDS.
I CALL THIS PARTHE ILLUSION...
BECAUSE I NEVER REALLY
TEAR THE PAPER.
PRIVATELY.

THEN GO!
OKAY? WHY DONT YOU
JUST GO FOR YOUR SWIM!
ILL JOIN YOU IN FIVE MINUTES,
ALL RIGHT. I PROMISE.
YEAH, OKAY. FINE.
[ Magician ] PEOPLE COME UP

AND SAY, "JOHN, I COULDVE--"
WELL, LOOK, I GOT SOMETHING
I WANT TO SAY TO YOU TOO.
PERHAPS THEYRE LED

THEYVE TRUSTED ALL THEIR LIVES.

[ Gasps ]
[ Gasping, Coughing ]

THESE LACERATIONS
ARE FROM HER HEAD HITTING
THE SIDE OF THE POOL.
THERES A DEFINITE
CRUSHING HERE,
LIKE HER THROAWAS PUT INTO A VISE.
ILL BE ABLE TO TELL BETTER
ONCE I GET HER DOWNTOWN.
LOOKS LIKE SHE PUT UP
A HELL OF A FIGHT.
WELL, MAYBE THE GIRL
NEVER HAD A CHANCE.
I SUPPOSE YOU CAN

SURE. SURE.
ALL RIGHT.
THANKS, FRANK.
YEAH.
[ Sirens Wailing ]

[ Frank ]

THE MANS A LEGEND.
WASNT HIS
DAUGHTER KIDNAPPED?
YEAH.
THEY FOUND HER BODY,
BUT THEY NEVER

LETS GET HER

[ Man ]

[ Woman ] YES.
FOR THE THIRD TIME
IN MANY WEEKS,
IT APPEARS
THE COED STRANGLER
HAS STRUCK AGAIN.
THIS TIME HE HAS
BRUTALLY MURDERED
LEE FAULKNER,
A 24-YEAR-OLD STUDENAT DORSEY COLLEGE.
MISS FAULKNER WAS MALICIOUSLY
AND VIOLENTLY STRANGLED
IN HER OWN SWIMMING POOL.
THE KILLER EXERCISED
A BOLDNESS UNSEEN
IN HIS PREVIOUS KILLINGS...
BY PERPETRATING
THIS BRUTAL ACT...
WHILE A PARTY
WAS IN PROGRESS
IN THIS HOUSE.
THE POLICE ARE LOOKING
FOR MISS FAULKNERS BOYFRIEND,
JIMMY SCOTT, FOR QUESTIONING.
SCOTT WAS THE LAST PERSON
TO SEE LEE FAULKNER ALIVE.
I DONT CARE.
I THINK ITS CRIMINAL THE WAY
YOU CONTROL THAT GIRLS LIFE.
HELEN, SHES MY RESPONSIBILITY.
SHES MY SISTER!
ILL DECIDE
WHATS RIGHT FOR HER.
AT THE RISK
OF JEOPARDIZING HER LIFE.
NOW, WAIT A MINUTE.
HOW WAS I TO KNOW
HE WOULD BE THERE?

I GUESS HE DOESNT THINK
IT COULD HAPPEN TO ME.
DID YOU CALL ME
LAST NIGHT?
NO, WHY?
I HAD
THE STRANGEST PHONE CALL--
HEAVY BREATHING,
AND THEN THIS VOICE.
MUST HAVE BEEN
SOME PHONE PERVERT.
THATS WHAT I THOUGHT--
MY FIRST OBSCENE PHONE CALL.
WE BETTER GO

[ Engine Starts ]
[ Dog Barking ]
[ Tires Squeal ]
IS THERE

[ Ringing ]
[ Ringing Continues ]
[ Line Ringing ]
[ Rock ]
HI, HONEY.
I THOUGHYOUD NEVER GET HERE.
HEY, I WAS
JUST KIDDING.
I WAS THINKING
OF HAVING A LITTLE
DESSERT FIRST.
OKAY, TARZAN.
I LEFT A COUPLE OF SIX-PACKS
IN THE BACK OF THE PICKUP.
SO, WHY DONT YOU
GO GET THEM,
AND ILL FRESHEN UP.
DANNY?
OH, WHATS THE MATTER,

GOOD MORNING. ITS TIME

[ Phone Ringing ]

IM COMING FOR YOU.
IS THAT YOU,
JIMMY SCOTT?
THIS IS YOUR FATHER.
PLEASE, STOP IT.
JUST, GO AWAY!
GO AWAY!
JUDY, WHATS WRONG?
[ Phone Rings ]
HELLO.
WHO IS THIS?
WHO WAS IT?
JIMMY SCOTT.
HES WANTED
BY THE POLICE.
WHY DO YOU THINK
IT WAS JAMES SCOTTHAT CALLED YOU?
IM NOT CERTAIN.
IT JUST SEEMS
LIKE SOMETHING
HE WOULD DO.
[ Chuckles ]
WOULD YOU MIND
EXPLAINING THAT?
WELL, JIMMY ASKED ME
TO GO OUT WITH HIM,
AND I REFUSED.
HE DIDNT LIKE PEOPLE
TO SAY NO TO HIM.
WHYD YOU
REFUSE HIM?
HE WAS ALREADY
GOING OUWITH LEE FAULKNER.
I DIDNT SEE
ANY POINT IN IT.
[ Rydell ]
I SEE.
NOT EXACTLY FAITHFUL,
IS HE?
THAT WAS HIS WAY.
JIMMY THOUGHT OF HIMSELF
AS A FREE SOUL.
HE DIDNT LIKE RULES.
KNOWING THAT,
WHY DO YOU SUPPOSE LEE FAULKNER
WENT OUT WITH SCOTT?
LEE SORT OF LIKED
THE WILD TYPE.
SHE LIKED TO PARTY
AND HAVE A GOOD TIME.
DID YOU KNOW
A LISA JAMES?
SHE WAS A MODEL
IN ONE OF MY ART CLASSES.
AND THE FIRST VICTIM.
YOU KNOW,
THESE CALLS COULD BE
COMING FROM A CRANK.
ITS UNLIKELY THAA CRIMINAL ON THE RUN
WOULD MAKE THEM.
HOWEVER, WERE NOT EXACTLY
DEALING WITH ANY ORDINARY
CRIMINAL NOW, ARE WE?
I THINK WE BETTER PLAY IT SAFE
AND PUT A TAP ON YOUR PHONE.
SERGEANT RYDELL, DO YOU THINK
WE SHOULD HAVE SOME
POLICE PROTECTION FOR JUDY?
NO, NO, I DONT THINK
THATS NECESSARY.
I THINK ITS
ONLY A MATTER OF TIME
THAT WE GET JAMES SCOTT.
SERGEANT, HAVE YOUR MEN
DISCOVERED WHY HES KILLING
THESE COLLEGE GIRLS?
IF ITS NOT RAPE,
WHATS THE MOTIVE?
WHAT IS
DRIVING THIS GUY?
WELL, WERE NOQUITE SURE
AT THIS POINT.
IT SEEMS THAT MOSOF THESE GIRLS...
MAY HAVE BEEN INVOLVED
IN PROSTITUTION--
POSSIBLY DRUGS.
SURELY,
YOU DONT INCLUDE
LEE FAULKNER
IN THAT GROUP NOW.
WELL, WERE LOOKING
INTO THAT.
WE DID FIND A BOOK
WITH NAMES, ADDRESSES,
PHONE NUMBERS--
IT SEEMS
THAT ALL THESE GIRLS
WERE VERY CLOSE FRIENDS.
SERGEANT RYDELL,
WHAT YOURE
IMPLYING TO US...
IS THAT JIMMY SCOTMAY BE SOME SORT OF...
MORAL VIGILANTE.
THAT COULD POSSIBLY
BE HIS M.O., YES.
IF THATS TRUE,
WHAT DOES HE WANWITH JUDY?
IM AFRAID
I CANT ANSWER THAT.
BILLY.
ARE YOU OKAY?
YEAH, SURE.
YOU KNOW,
NOBODY BEATS ME
LIKE THAT--
ESPECIALLY NOYOUR BROTHER.
HE WAS ONLY
TRYING TO PROTECT ME.
PROTECT YOU?
HE ALMOST KILLED ME.
IF IT WASNT FOR YOU
PULLING HIM OFF,
HE PROBABLY WOULD HAVE.
HES GOT TO BE CRAZY.
EVER SINCE
MY PARENTS DIED,
HES BEEN TRYING
TO BE BOTH A MOTHER
AND FATHER TO ME.
BILLY, HE DIDNMEAN ANY HARM.
[ Door Slams ]
WANT A DRINK?
YOU KNOW
WHAT I WANT.
YES.
ILL GO SLIP
INTO SOMETHING
A LITTLE MORE COMFY.
ARE YOU, UH,
SURE YOUR HUSBAND

YOUR DAY AT SCHOOL?

MORGAN, YOUR LAW PARTNER,
FRANKLIN, STOPPED BY.

FOR YOU TO SIGN.
YES, HE FOUND ME.
JUDY,
IM GONNA HAVE SOME
ADDITIONAL LOCKS PLACED ON YOUR

Y-YOU READ
WHAT HAPPENED TO HER?
MM-HMM.
DARK HAIRED. TWENTY-ONE-YEAR-OLD
STUDENT AT-AT DORSEY COLLEGE.
SHE USED TO WORK
AT THE CAMPUS BOOKSTORE.
SHE HAD A RADIANT SMILE.
THE CLEAREST BLUE EYES
YOU EVER DID SEE.
BUT SHE USED TO
GO TO THOSE WILD PARTIES.
THE PARTIES
OVER AT DELTA PHI HOUSE.
YOU COULD HEAR EM
TWO BLOCKS AWAY.
PEOPLE IN CARS
ALL OVER THE FRONT LAWNS.
BEER BY THE CASE.
YOUNG GIRLS
LEARNING ALL ABOUT LIFE
IN THE BACKSEAT OF CARS.
WELL, YOU KNOW HOW THEY DO.
SMOKING GRASS.
AND THEY GOT COKE NOW TOO.
HOW IS THIS RELEVANT--
JULIE WAS INTO THESE
SORTA THINGS--
PROBABLY MORE
THAN ANYBODY ELSE.
AWAY FROM HER PARENTS.
NO ONE TO DISCIPLINE HER.
NO ONE TO LIFT HER
OUT OF THIS FILTH.
EXCEPT FOR ME.
YOU KILLED HER,
DIDNT YOU?
I EXCOMMUNICATED HER
FROM THE HUMAN RACE.
I HAVE NO REGRETS.
SHE DESERVED TO BE.
SHE CONTAMINATED SOCIETY
WITH HER INDISCRETIONS.
SHE WAS A JEZEBEL.
YOU KNOW WHO JEZEBEL WAS?
SHE WAS AN ADULTERESS.
KING AHABS WIFE
WAS BROUGHT TO HER KNEES
BY THE PROFIT ELIJAH.
HOW DID YOU
KILL THESE WOMEN?
WITH JACK AND BOB.
OH, IM SORRY, SERGEANT.
YOU NEVER MET THEM.
WELL, ALLOW ME
TO INTRODUCE THEM TO YOU.
THIS IS JACK
AND-AND THIS IS BOB.
Y-YOU DONT LIKE THEM?
THEY CAN--
THEY CAN BE VERY FRIENDLY,
OR THEY CAN BE VERY ANGRY.
I-I PLACED JACK AND BOB
AROUND HER THROAT.
I COULD HEAR THEM HUMMING.
THEY SQUEEZED.
I COULD FEEL THE ENERGY
FLOWING FROM THE GIRLS BODY
INTO JACK AND BOB.
THE NERVE ENDINGS
CAME ALIVE.
WAIT. IM NOT FINISHED YET.
IM BOOKING YOU.
DO YOU HAVE THE PHOTOS
ON THAT REPORT?
YES. IVE GOT THEM
IN THE FILE HERE.
GOOD.
I JUST DONT UNDERSTAND RYDELL.
WE HAD THIS KOOK IN HERE--
FATHER MURPHY.
GOD KNOWS
WHAT HIS REAL NAME IS.
RYDELL BOOKED HIM
ON SUSPICION OF A 187.
PROBABLY HAD GOOD CAUSE.
I WISH I KNEW.
ALL I SAW WAS A GUY...
THAT WOULD CONFESS TO ANYTHING
JUST TO GET ATTENTION.
AND THE WAY RYDELL
INTERROGATED JIMMY SCOTT.
HEY, KING IS VERY THOROUGH.
LOOK, KID.
GET IN THERE WITH HIM
AND LEARN SOMETHING.
DO YOU HAVE ANY OTHER LEADS
OF YOUR OWN?

OF THE LATEST VICTIM.
YOU KNOW THE NEWSPAPERS
HAVE NICKNAMED THE COED KILLER
"THE BLACK ANGEL."
THE MURDERS HAVENALL HAPPENED
IN ONE PART OF TOWN.
BUT THE VICTIMS
ALL KNEW ONE ANOTHER
AT THE SAME SCHOOL.
THE BLACK ANGEL PROBABLY
KNEW THE VICTIMS PERSONALLY.
AW. ITS A SHAME.
THERES A YOUNG WOMAN HERE NOW
GOING THROUGH THE MUG SHOTS,
TRYING TO IDENTIFY THE KILLER.
- HE MAY BE
A FORMER BOYFRIEND OF HERS.
- OH, YES. LEE FAULKNER.
DID SHE MAKE
A POSITIVE IDENTIFICATION YET?
NO. IT SEEMS LIKE SHES HAVING
A HARD TIME REMEMBERING
WHAT HE LOOKS LIKE.
OKAY. LETS GO
AND TALK TO HER.
MISS LEE FAULKNER,
RYDELL KING.
HELLO.
NOW LET ME
GET MY FILE.
ITS NICE OF YOU
TO COME DOWN AND HELP US
WITH THIS INVESTIGATION.
NOW ID LIKE
TO ASK YOU A FEW QUESTIONS
CONCERNING CAROL WILLIAMS.
ANYTHING I CAN DO
TO HELP.
HAVE YOU SEEN HER PARENTS?
YES, HER FATHER
CAME DOWN...
FROM IRELAND
FOR THE FUNERAL,
AND HER MOM DIED
A FEW YEARS BACK.
UH-HUH.
AND HOW ARE YOU AND THE GIRLS
THAT KNEW CAROL TAKING THIS?
ITS BEEN REAL SAD.
CAROL WAS
A REAL CLOSE FRIEND,
ALMOST LIKE A SISTER.
HOW LONG
HAVE YOU KNOWN CAROL?
FOUR YEARS.
DO YOU LIVE AT, UH,
4936 WINTERDALE DRIVE?
YEAH.
DO YOU KNOW OF ANYONE
THAT MIGHT HAVE WANTED
CAROL KILLED?
NO. CAROL WAS
A REAL NICE PERSON.
SHE HAD LOTS OF FRIENDS,
NOT ENEMIES, NOT ANYBODY
WHO WOULD WANT TO KILL HER.
DID YOU LOOK
AT ALL THE PHOTOS?
MM-HMM.
ANY OF THESE MEN
FRIENDS OF CAROLS?
NO.
ARE YOU SURE?
HAVE YOU KNOWN
ANY OF THESE PEOPLE BEFORE?
NO.
WHAT ABOUT JAMES SCOTT?
DONT YOU KNOW HIM?
WASNT HE GOING
WITH CAROL?
AND ISNT HE NOW
YOUR CURRENT BOYFRIEND
AND LOVER?
WELL, YES.
AND WASNT JIMMY
WITH YOU YESTERDAY?
NO, I DIDNT SEE HIM.
THATS SURPRISING.
I SPOKE TO SEVERAL
OF THE GIRLS THAT TOLD ME
THAT JIMMY WAS WITH YOU.
AND NOT ONLY THAT,
BUT JIMMY AND CAROL
HAD AN ARGUMENT,
AND JIMMY LEFT CAROL
BECAUSE OF YOU.
NOW YOU GONNA TELL ME
YOU DONT KNOW ANYTHING
ABOUT THAT?
NO. CAN I GO NOW?
IM TIRED.
NO, YOU CANT!
SIT DOWN!
NOW LETS JUSCUT THE BULLSHIT!
ALL RIGHT,
DOES THIS SOUND FAMILIAR--
ARRESTING-OFFICER JOHNSON,
PROSTITUTION,
CARSON HEIGHTS MOTEL?
DOES THIS LOOK FAMILIAR?
YOU KNOW, YOU MUST THINK

WHAT CAN BE MORE REAL
THAN A NEWSPAPER?
YOU ALL KNOW EVERYTHING YOU READ
IN THE NEWSPAPER IS TRUE.

THATS VERY SOLID AND VERY REAL.
I LIKE THIS.
IF I WERE TO TEAR THIS PAPER
INTO SHREDS, IT WOULD BECOME
A TORN NEWSPAPER,
IMPOSSIBLE TO PUT BACK
TO ITS ORIGINAL ONE PIECE.
SO THAT YOU RECOGNIZE THIS
NEWSPAPER WHEN YOU SEE IT AGAIN,
NO, LATER.
IM PAGING THROUGH IT TO
REMEMBER A PICTURE FROM WITHIN.
I WANT TO TALK TO YOU.
SO TALK. JESUS.
W-WERE IN FRONT OF FRIENDS.
NOW THE ILLUSION BEGINS.

THIS TIME HE HAS
BRUTALLY MURDERED
LEE FAULKNER,
A 24-YEAR-OLD STUDENAT DORSEY COLLEGE.
MISS FAULKNER WAS MALICIOUSLY

IN HER OWN SWIMMING POOL.
THE KILLER EXERCISED
A BOLDNESS UNSEEN
IN HIS PREVIOUS KILLINGS...
BY PERPETRATING
THIS BRUTAL ACT...
WHILE A PARTY
WAS IN PROGRESS
IN THIS HOUSE.
THE POLICE ARE LOOKING
FOR MISS FAULKNERS BOYFRIEND,
JIMMY SCOTT, FOR QUESTIONING.

TO SEE LEE FAULKNER ALIVE.
I DONT CARE.
I THINK ITS CRIMINAL THE WAY
YOU CONTROL THAT GIRLS LIFE.
HELEN, SHES MY RESPONSIBILITY.
SHES MY SISTER!
ILL DECIDE
WHATS RIGHT FOR HER.
AT THE RISK
OF JEOPARDIZING HER LIFE.

LAST NIGHT?
NO, WHY?
I HAD
THE STRANGEST PHONE CALL--
HEAVY BREATHING,
AND THEN THIS VOICE.
MUST HAVE BEEN
SOME PHONE PERVERT.

DESSERT FIRST.

JUDY, WHATS WRONG?
[ Phone Rings ]
HELLO.
WHO IS THIS?
WHO WAS IT?
JIMMY SCOTT.
HES WANTED
BY THE POLICE.
WHY DO YOU THINK
IT WAS JAMES SCOTTHAT CALLED YOU?
IM NOT CERTAIN.
IT JUST SEEMS
LIKE SOMETHING
HE WOULD DO.
[ Chuckles ]
WOULD YOU MIND
EXPLAINING THAT?
WELL, JIMMY ASKED ME
TO GO OUT WITH HIM,
AND I REFUSED.
HE DIDNT LIKE PEOPLE
TO SAY NO TO HIM.
WHYD YOU
REFUSE HIM?
HE WAS ALREADY
GOING OUWITH LEE FAULKNER.
I DIDNT SEE
ANY POINT IN IT.
[ Rydell ]
I SEE.
NOT EXACTLY FAITHFUL,
IS HE?
THAT WAS HIS WAY.
JIMMY THOUGHT OF HIMSELF
AS A FREE SOUL.
HE DIDNT LIKE RULES.
KNOWING THAT,
WHY DO YOU SUPPOSE LEE FAULKNER
WENT OUT WITH SCOTT?
LEE SORT OF LIKED
THE WILD TYPE.
SHE LIKED TO PARTY
AND HAVE A GOOD TIME.
DID YOU KNOW
A LISA JAMES?
SHE WAS A MODEL
IN ONE OF MY ART CLASSES.
AND THE FIRST VICTIM.
YOU KNOW,
THESE CALLS COULD BE
COMING FROM A CRANK.
ITS UNLIKELY THAA CRIMINAL ON THE RUN
WOULD MAKE THEM.
HOWEVER, WERE NOT EXACTLY
DEALING WITH ANY ORDINARY
CRIMINAL NOW, ARE WE?
I THINK WE BETTER PLAY IT SAFE
AND PUT A TAP ON YOUR PHONE.
SERGEANT RYDELL, DO YOU THINK
WE SHOULD HAVE SOME
POLICE PROTECTION FOR JUDY?
NO, NO, I DONT THINK
THATS NECESSARY.
I THINK ITS
ONLY A MATTER OF TIME
THAT WE GET JAMES SCOTT.
SERGEANT, HAVE YOUR MEN
DISCOVERED WHY HES KILLING
THESE COLLEGE GIRLS?
IF ITS NOT RAPE,
WHATS THE MOTIVE?
WHAT IS
DRIVING THIS GUY?
WELL, WERE NOQUITE SURE
AT THIS POINT.
IT SEEMS THAT MOSOF THESE GIRLS...
MAY HAVE BEEN INVOLVED
IN PROSTITUTION--
POSSIBLY DRUGS.
SURELY,
YOU DONT INCLUDE
LEE FAULKNER
IN THAT GROUP NOW.
WELL, WERE LOOKING
INTO THAT.
WE DID FIND A BOOK
WITH NAMES, ADDRESSES,
PHONE NUMBERS--
IT SEEMS
THAT ALL THESE GIRLS
WERE VERY CLOSE FRIENDS.
SERGEANT RYDELL,
WHAT YOURE
IMPLYING TO US...
IS THAT JIMMY SCOTMAY BE SOME SORT OF...
MORAL VIGILANTE.
THAT COULD POSSIBLY
BE HIS M.O., YES.
IF THATS TRUE,
WHAT DOES HE WANWITH JUDY?
IM AFRAID
I CANT ANSWER THAT.
BILLY.
ARE YOU OKAY?
YEAH, SURE.
YOU KNOW,
NOBODY BEATS ME
LIKE THAT--
ESPECIALLY NOYOUR BROTHER.
HE WAS ONLY
TRYING TO PROTECT ME.
PROTECT YOU?
HE ALMOST KILLED ME.
IF IT WASNT FOR YOU
PULLING HIM OFF,
HE PROBABLY WOULD HAVE.
HES GOT TO BE CRAZY.
EVER SINCE
MY PARENTS DIED,
HES BEEN TRYING
TO BE BOTH A MOTHER
AND FATHER TO ME.
BILLY, HE DIDNMEAN ANY HARM.
[ Door Slams ]
WANT A DRINK?

THE PARTIES
OVER AT DELTA PHI HOUSE.
YOU COULD HEAR EM
TWO BLOCKS AWAY.
PEOPLE IN CARS
ALL OVER THE FRONT LAWNS.
BEER BY THE CASE.
YOUNG GIRLS
LEARNING ALL ABOUT LIFE
IN THE BACKSEAT OF CARS.
WELL, YOU KNOW HOW THEY DO.
SMOKING GRASS.
AND THEY GOT COKE NOW TOO.
HOW IS THIS RELEVANT--
JULIE WAS INTO THESE
SORTA THINGS--
PROBABLY MORE
THAN ANYBODY ELSE.
AWAY FROM HER PARENTS.
NO ONE TO DISCIPLINE HER.
NO ONE TO LIFT HER
OUT OF THIS FILTH.
EXCEPT FOR ME.
YOU KILLED HER,
DIDNT YOU?
I EXCOMMUNICATED HER
FROM THE HUMAN RACE.
I HAVE NO REGRETS.
SHE DESERVED TO BE.
SHE CONTAMINATED SOCIETY
WITH HER INDISCRETIONS.
SHE WAS A JEZEBEL.
YOU KNOW WHO JEZEBEL WAS?

I-I PLACED JACK AND BOB
AROUND HER THROAT.
