00:00:00Between October of 1977 and February of 1978,
00:00:03only five short months, 10 young women
00:00:06were brutally tortured, violated, and murdered.
00:00:08Their stripped bodies were dumped on hillsides
00:00:10northeast of downtown Los Angeles.
00:00:12The city was in a state of shock,
00:00:14and the murders came to be known as the Hillside Stranglings.
00:00:17As the Hillside Stranglings.

00:02:17♪♪
00:02:27Yes, who is it?
00:02:29It's the police, Miss Wilson.
00:02:33Hi.
00:02:35I'm Kenny Bianchi.
00:02:37I used to live next door.
00:02:40How you doing?
00:02:42All right.
00:02:43Well, um, I'm with the police reserves now.
00:02:48And, uh...
00:02:49What do you want?
00:02:50Well, I was patrolling in the neighborhood,
00:02:53and I noticed your car.
00:02:54You drive a VW, don't you?
00:02:55That's right.
00:02:56I'm really sorry, but it looks like
00:02:58someone just crashed into it in the parking lot.
00:03:00What?
00:03:02I know.
00:03:03If you'd like to come out,
00:03:04I'll write up a report for you.
00:03:05It may help you with insurance.
00:03:08Who is she?
00:03:10Why haven't you caught her yet?
00:03:12This is the fifth girl.
00:03:14Don't you have any faith?
00:03:16Hey, you're still finding bodies on Sunday, Grogan, huh?
00:03:20Come on.
00:03:21Give us a break here, Brogan.
00:03:23Lieutenant, what do you got?
00:03:26This.
00:03:27Not much different from the others.
00:03:29An old нос.
00:03:30You know when you were the captain.
00:03:32I've got a guy called Willie.
00:03:35How do you know him?
00:03:36He's a womanizer himself.
00:03:38What do you want to know?
00:03:40You have to understand.
00:03:41I have to understand.
00:03:42I know exactly who he is.
00:03:44And he's a bad guy.
00:03:46What?
00:03:47He's a bad guy, isn't he?
00:03:48He's a bad guy, he's a bad guy.
00:03:50Where's your boots?
00:03:51Not much different from the other victims.
00:03:53I want you and Hernandez on this, now exclusive.
00:03:57Yeah, Jesus.
00:03:58Look at your marks up the neck, wrists and ankles.
00:04:00Blood from the rectum.
00:04:02That could have happened after the murder.
00:04:04Small bruises around the breasts.
00:04:06Puncture marks on the inner arms.
00:04:08The height marks?
00:04:09I don't think so. None of the usual needle scars.
00:04:11You find any footprints?
00:04:13Nope. He never leaves any.
00:04:15What about tire tracks?
00:04:16The ground's too hard.
00:04:18All right, can we lose these people?
00:04:21Bob, no sign whatsoever of her being dragged.
00:04:25She looks like she was just kind of placed there.
00:04:27One guy would have just dumped her.
00:04:29Maybe two guys carried her here.
00:04:32You might be right.
00:04:33Let's keep it quiet for now.
00:04:43All right.
00:04:45We got nothing to go on.
00:04:47Nobody knows anything.
00:04:48The press is making us look like fools,
00:04:50and the public is afraid to walk out at night.
00:04:52That's why we're forming this task force.
00:04:57You men from the Sheriff's Department and Glendale
00:04:59will work with us at the LAPD.
00:05:01This is a joint venture, not a contest.
00:05:05We work together, understood?
00:05:06Yeah.
00:05:09Five bodies have been found in a nine-day period,
00:05:11right through Thanksgiving.
00:05:13All of them
00:05:15have been found in this area here.
00:05:18Based on the Wilson murder,
00:05:19we now think it might be two guys.
00:05:21We want this kept quiet for a little while longer.
00:05:25Sergeant Grogan.
00:05:27Well, they, and I'm sure there are two of them,
00:05:31they seem to be bored with simple rape, strangulation.
00:05:36The mutilation of the victims
00:05:38tells us a little something about their contempt for women,
00:05:41for society.
00:05:43That's unusual for serial killings to be done by two people.
00:05:48The pattern of the crimes is the only link we have
00:05:51between the murders.
00:05:52We have no idea where the crime scene is.
00:05:55Could you put the girls' pictures up?
00:05:58Now, the victims are all different colorings,
00:06:00all different types,
00:06:01come from all different kinds of backgrounds.
00:06:02Got a hooker,
00:06:04an honor student,
00:06:06a waitress.
00:06:09I think these guys are doing this for kicks.
00:06:11And somehow, I don't think they're finished.
00:06:14There's gonna be more of them if we don't find them.
00:06:19Lights.
00:06:22Questions.
00:06:24No, no, sir.
00:06:25That's it, you have your assignments.
00:06:27Lieutenant.
00:06:28Oh, yeah, one more thing.
00:06:29We're running this all over town.
00:06:35Ready?
00:06:37I think so.
00:06:38Ready?
00:07:09Look.
00:07:13Mr. Wilson, I know it won't help much to hear me say this,
00:07:17but we're gonna nail the animal that did that to your daughter
00:07:20to those other girls.
00:07:24Can I ask you a question?
00:07:27Yeah, sure.
00:07:29What kind of a man would do a thing like that
00:07:31to a lovely young woman like Margaret?
00:07:38I don't know.
00:08:08I don't know.
00:08:39What are you doing here? The sun's not up yet.
00:08:43I wanted to beat the early crowd.
00:08:44Otherwise, you'd need police protection to get here.
00:08:47It's angry out there.
00:08:50What are you doing here?
00:08:52I'm two years behind on paperwork.
00:08:55Oh, you want one?
00:08:56No, a little early.
00:08:59Since when do you go by the clock, Ed?
00:09:04I don't even know.
00:09:06I don't even know if it's breakfast or dinner anymore.
00:09:10You seem to know the cocktail hour pretty good, Bob.
00:09:13I've been doing a lot of that since this case started.
00:09:18How's the new apartment?
00:09:21Small.
00:09:22Go home.
00:09:24I can't.
00:09:26Kathy won't let me inside the house.
00:09:31It's funny.
00:09:32What is?
00:09:33After all these years together,
00:09:34we have nothing to talk about, me and Kathy.
00:09:42I seem to relate to the families of the victims.
00:09:44Why can't I relate to my own family?
00:09:49I try.
00:09:51God knows I try.
00:09:53I hocked my jockstrap to buy a boat.
00:09:55Kathy won't even go on it.
00:09:58She says the boats make her sick.
00:10:00You know, she's a good woman.
00:10:01She says the boats make her sick.
00:10:03You know, she's been on it once.
00:10:04One time.
00:10:06How many times have you been on it?
00:10:09Whose side do you want, Ed?
00:10:10Do you want to go back?
00:10:15I don't know.
00:10:18I don't even think she'd take me back anymore.
00:10:21She might, you know, if I quit.
00:10:23Spent more time with her and the family,
00:10:25and got into something else,
00:10:27led a normal life.
00:10:29Wear pajamas?
00:10:31What?
00:10:34Ed, what do you wear when you go to bed?
00:10:37Other shorts.
00:10:39Do you know any cops that wear pajamas?
00:10:41No.
00:10:43She wanted me to wear pajamas.
00:10:46Hey, what the hell?
00:10:474-1.
00:10:55I envy you, Ed.
00:10:57You're as good at your job as anybody I know.
00:11:00But you keep your life in one piece.
00:11:02You're a man of your word.
00:11:04You're a man of your word.
00:11:06You're a man of your word.
00:11:08You're a man of your word.
00:11:10You're a man of your word.
00:11:12You're a man of your word.
00:11:13But you keep your life in one piece.
00:11:17I envy you, my friend.
00:11:32At ease.
00:11:43At ease.
00:11:58Wrong.
00:12:00With this outfit, pearls.
00:12:11I don't think I've seen you around here before.
00:12:13Of course, I've never been here before.
00:12:15Where are you from?
00:12:17Chino.
00:12:18When did you get out?
00:12:20This morning.
00:12:22Papers.
00:12:31Well, you picked a hell of a place to start your rehabilitation.
00:12:43Better watch him for cheats.
00:12:52Have you seen anything unusual?
00:12:54Every minute of every day.
00:12:56More unusual.
00:12:59Well, make sure you walk in packs.
00:13:01You understand me?
00:13:02If I catch any of your work in the streets alone, I'm going to run you in.
00:13:05This week, the Strangler is picking on nice girls.
00:13:08But you never know.
00:13:10Huh?
00:13:11Gotcha.
00:13:12Thanks.
00:13:37How much money you owe me, Kenny?
00:13:39Give me a break.
00:13:43Let's go inside.
00:13:45I am not in the money lending business.
00:13:47And I worked too damn hard for my money to give it to you to blow on some stupid scheme.
00:13:50You understand?
00:13:51Just relax, because I'll pay you back.
00:13:55I'll get someone who owes me money.
00:13:56As soon as they pay me, I'll pay you.
00:13:58Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:14:05You know what that is?
00:14:06What?
00:14:07Labistes reticulatus.
00:14:08What's so?
00:14:10That one's a Ziphyphorus helleri.
00:14:12Gives birth live.
00:14:15You know what we did one night?
00:14:16My third wife and me?
00:14:17What?
00:14:19We woke up my daughter when she was like six years old,
00:14:22and we let her watch one of them give birth.
00:14:26They shoot him out.
00:14:28Like a rocket.
00:14:31It was good sex education for the kids.
00:14:33Well, you're a hell of a father, aren't you?
00:14:36Say, listen, would you have anything in mind for tonight?
00:14:38Maybe.
00:14:39Well, let's go out. Let's go scamming.
00:14:40Take it easy.
00:14:43The last time with that Wilson broad was rushed, you know what I mean?
00:14:48If we go too fast, we'll slip up.
00:14:51We can't do every girl in town, you know what I mean?
00:14:53Well, I'm ready when you are.
00:14:56Okay, we'll cruise.
00:14:58But if we don't find the right one, we forget it.
00:15:00We figure this just wasn't the night.
00:15:02If I say it's no good, it's no good.
00:15:03If I say it's a no-go, we scrub the mission.
00:15:06And don't get impatient.
00:15:08The rule is, is that we come back and do him here.
00:15:12Understood?
00:15:13Understood.
00:15:14Understood. You're the boss. You're the captain.
00:15:17Come here. The big fish.
00:15:27Look, Minumi.
00:15:29Everything ready?
00:15:30Everything.
00:15:32What are the wires for?
00:15:34Something new, Minumi.
00:15:36You know something, Edge?
00:15:37Even though we're cousins, I like when you call me that.
00:15:40Minumi.
00:15:41Blood brothers?
00:15:42I really like that.
00:16:07Too close.
00:16:08We'll wait until she gets on a street that's not too busy, Minumi.
00:16:12And then we'll just pull up alongside of her.
00:16:15Real nice and easy.
00:16:39What's the matter, officer?
00:16:41You've committed a traffic violation, miss.
00:16:44I think I'd better get my father. I just live right over here.
00:16:47Please step over to my vehicle.
00:16:49I'd really like to get my father.
00:16:50There'll be no need for that.
00:16:51I'm sure you can wrap this up right away if you just get out of the car.
00:16:55I'm sorry.
00:16:57I'm sorry.
00:16:59I'm sorry.
00:17:01I'm sorry.
00:17:03I'm sorry.
00:17:05I'm sorry.
00:17:06Just get out and close the car.
00:17:14Can I see your license, please?
00:17:22Get in my car, please.
00:17:24How come? I didn't do anything wrong.
00:17:26Can we go down to the police station, please?
00:17:28Look, I'd really like to get my parents.
00:17:30Come on.
00:17:34Get her in.
00:17:36I don't want to get away.
00:17:38That's the rules.
00:17:41That house, there's a lady watching.
00:17:56Oh my God.
00:17:58Please, no.
00:18:07Please, no.
00:18:08Stay up.
00:18:28Me first.
00:18:36Here he comes.
00:18:45Hiya, gang.
00:18:46Hey, Dad.
00:18:48Well, let's go.
00:18:50Hey, kiddos.
00:18:51Hey, Dad.
00:18:53How are you?
00:18:54Oh, Mom says hello.
00:18:56Like hell she does.
00:18:58Well, she meant to, I guess.
00:19:04Don't answer it, Dad, huh?
00:19:06Just don't answer it.
00:19:08Never on Sunday.
00:19:09At least not this Sunday.
00:19:11Come on, to the boat.
00:19:13I worked on the engine last week.
00:19:15Oh, will you?
00:19:17I'm telling you, it's a beauty.
00:19:19She is running so good right now.
00:19:20Don't answer it, Dad.
00:19:23Oh, yeah.
00:19:25I better answer it.
00:19:29I told you we never reach the dock.
00:19:42There's something on her wrists.
00:19:44What?
00:19:46I don't know.
00:19:48There's something on her wrists.
00:19:50Make sure you check that out.
00:19:51Right away, sir.
00:19:59My gosh.
00:20:05It's about my daughter's age.
00:20:10Hello?
00:20:11You the lady on Brill Street with the dog?
00:20:12What?
00:20:14Are you the lady on Brill Street with the dog?
00:20:17Oh, yes.
00:20:19You keep your mouth shut about what you saw last night.
00:20:22If you talk to anybody about it, you're as good as dead.
00:20:24You understand?
00:20:39Police!
00:20:42Are you sure that you saw them clearly?
00:20:45Oh, yes.
00:20:47From that window.
00:20:48Oh, yes.
00:20:51Okay.
00:20:52We're going to be guarding your house 24 hours a day.
00:20:54So you don't have to worry.
00:20:55These police officers are going to stay right here.
00:20:58Thank you, Mr. Grogan.
00:20:59Oh, Bob.
00:21:00My name's Bob.
00:21:01And thanks for the cookies.
00:21:03You're welcome.
00:21:05Delicious.
00:21:09Keep your eyes open.
00:21:18The window she said she was looking out of is a good 30 feet from the street.
00:21:21Where she said she saw the guys force the girl into the car.
00:21:24Now, it's not too well lit.
00:21:26And she's got bad eyesight.
00:21:27But she's certain she could identify the guys in the same with the girl?
00:21:30Oh, yeah.
00:21:33If a dog was barking outside the house,
00:21:36and she was inside the house,
00:21:38how could she hear the girl screaming?
00:21:41Not easily.
00:21:43So,
00:21:44what do you make of it?
00:21:45What do you make of it?
00:21:47I don't think she's telling me everything.
00:21:50I think she heard the dog bark,
00:21:51and they went outside to see what the hell was going on.
00:21:53Why did she say so?
00:21:55I don't know.
00:21:57Fear, maybe.
00:21:58Shame.
00:22:00She didn't do anything to try to stop it.
00:22:01She doesn't want us to think she was close enough.
00:22:04She did say one thing, though.
00:22:07She's sure there was two of them.
00:22:09I think we should make that public.
00:22:11People should be aware of that for their own protection.
00:22:13Okay.
00:22:14I'll take care of it.
00:22:18Anything else?
00:22:20Yeah.
00:22:22Yeah, she said they were driving a dark car with a light top.
00:22:26At night, that could look like a squad car.
00:22:29Yeah, maybe these guys are running around playing policemen.
00:22:36God.
00:22:39Maybe they are policemen.
00:22:41Aye, aye, aye.
00:22:53Hi, Mary.
00:23:11I'll miss you.
00:23:14Daddy!
00:23:16Hey, all I wanted was directions.
00:23:27Thank you, Daddy.
00:23:29I didn't expect it.
00:23:30What a Christmas present.
00:23:32I don't want you walking the streets.
00:23:33That's why you get in the car, kiddo.
00:23:35I know.
00:23:37I don't want you walking the streets.
00:23:38That's why you get in the car, kiddo.
00:23:40Too many girls have been killed by these maniacs.
00:23:42That's why I'm giving it to you.
00:23:44I want you to keep the windows rolled up and the doors locked.
00:23:47I don't want you to open them for anybody.
00:23:48Understand?
00:23:49Sure.
00:23:50So you don't mind if I enjoy it at the same time, do you?
00:23:55Of course not.
00:23:57Enjoy it.
00:23:58Let's get these papers signed.
00:23:59Yeah.
00:24:03All right.
00:24:05Daddy?
00:24:06Yeah?
00:24:07Are you ever coming home?
00:24:09I don't know, kiddo.
00:24:10I don't know.
00:24:17The City Council,
00:24:18the County Board of Supervisors,
00:24:20TV stations,
00:24:21and an anonymous Glendale lawyer
00:24:23have contributed $100,000 in reward money
00:24:25for the apprehension...
00:24:27Flash.
00:24:31The statement was issued today by Chief Darryl Gates
00:24:33of the LAPD.
00:24:35The evidence has been meager.
00:24:37We have used
00:24:40the resources that we have available to us,
00:24:43the sheriff, Glendale, the state,
00:24:45the federal government,
00:24:47and we simply have not been successful.
00:24:50There's no question that Los Angeles
00:24:51is a city of concern.
00:24:53People are frightened.
00:24:55Classes in self-defense are packed.
00:24:57Yeah!
00:24:58Sale of guns and maces at an all-time high.
00:25:00It's more rest-resistant than this one.
00:25:01It's just...
00:25:08It is a city in a state of terror,
00:25:10not knowing where the hillside strangler
00:25:12will strike next.
00:25:14Celebrities.
00:25:19What do you want to do?
00:25:20Go on a carcass show?
00:25:22Uh...
00:25:23I know you, Kenny.
00:25:24You want to advertise.
00:25:25Look, nobody is going to catch a fan.
00:25:27You keep your big mouth shut or we stop.
00:25:29Mouth shut.
00:25:30Not a word, Manumi.
00:25:33You got to play it cool, Kenny.
00:25:36You know what I told my daughter
00:25:37when I went to visit her?
00:25:39I told her not to hitchhike.
00:25:41I told her not to walk the streets
00:25:42alone at night.
00:25:44I told her to watch out
00:25:45for the strangler guy.
00:25:46That he was probably some weirdo
00:25:47that escaped from some institution.
00:25:52You got to play it cool, Kenny.
00:25:53Well, you don't have to worry about me.
00:25:57You going out tonight?
00:25:58Yeah.
00:25:59Fantastic.
00:26:00I got a new scam in mind.
00:26:01You know that Chinese girl
00:26:02I've been going out with?
00:26:03Yeah.
00:26:05I think I'm going to marry her.
00:26:06She's a nice kid.
00:26:16You mustard or ketchup?
00:26:17Mustard.
00:26:18I'll take ketchup.
00:26:19I'll take ketchup.
00:26:20I'll take ketchup.
00:26:21I'll take ketchup.
00:26:22Mustard.
00:26:29Yeah, Grogan.
00:26:38My God, another one.
00:26:47You get the best of it, Ange.
00:26:49Your customer's got the new Upholstery
00:26:50but you get to drive the car.
00:26:53I should have never, never
00:26:54let you talk me into this.
00:26:55We deserve this.
00:27:03We deserve that too.
00:27:04What too?
00:27:05That too.
00:27:07I think she needs some company, Ange.
00:27:09It's daylight, Stu.
00:27:10So what?
00:27:11Let's get her.
00:27:12What do we got to be afraid of?
00:27:17Okay, Minami.
00:27:23Hiya, miss.
00:27:28Can you talk to her, Ange?
00:27:29You're the lover boy.
00:27:35Hey, girly.
00:27:37You want to go to a party in Hollywood?
00:27:42Come on, will ya?
00:27:44Party?
00:27:45Hollywood?
00:27:47I'll take you.
00:27:49I'll take you.
00:27:51Party?
00:27:52Hollywood?
00:27:53What do you say? Come on.
00:27:55Just stay away from me, all right?
00:27:57Oh, yeah?
00:27:59Go get her, Ange.
00:28:04Hey!
00:28:05Hey!
00:28:06Hey!
00:28:07Hey, leave her alone!
00:28:08Leave her alone!
00:28:09Let go of her!
00:28:11Get out of here!
00:28:12Let her go!
00:28:13Let her go!
00:28:14Get out of here!
00:28:15Get out of here!
00:28:16Get out of here!
00:28:17Get out of here!
00:28:18Get out of here!
00:28:19Get out of here!
00:28:20Get out of here!
00:28:25Are you all right?
00:28:27I think so.
00:28:29Did you know those men?
00:28:30No.
00:28:32Just calm down.
00:28:33I gotta go.
00:28:34No, no.
00:28:35Thank you.
00:28:36No, no.
00:28:37Wait.
00:28:38What's your name?
00:28:39Wait!
00:28:42By the way,
00:28:44do you remember that psychic from Germany
00:28:46who wanted you to send him the fare
00:28:47so he could come over and solve the case?
00:28:49Yeah.
00:28:50He's here.
00:28:51He paid his own way.
00:28:53You're kidding.
00:28:54He's been waiting three hours.
00:28:55You won't go until you see him.
00:28:58That's him?
00:28:59That's him.
00:29:01Bring him in.
00:29:03Doctor?
00:29:07Is this Dr. Franz?
00:29:08Sergeant Grogan.
00:29:09What can I do for you, Doctor?
00:29:10Say, I'm gonna...
00:29:12He doesn't speak English.
00:29:14I know a little German.
00:29:15I can translate for him.
00:29:17Go ahead.
00:29:29Something like,
00:29:30he's going to San Diego
00:29:31to visit some family,
00:29:33but had to stop off
00:29:34so he could solve the case for you.
00:29:37Good.
00:29:38Tell him I'm grateful.
00:29:46He says he's been receiving
00:29:47strong...
00:29:50strong...
00:29:55psychic vibrations
00:29:56about the Strangler case.
00:29:59What's he doing?
00:30:02He wrote that the Stranglers
00:30:04are two brothers,
00:30:06two brothers,
00:30:07two Italian brothers.
00:30:16And he wants you to pursue this theory
00:30:17since he's seldom wrong.
00:30:21Get him the hell out of here.
00:30:22Okay, Doctor.
00:30:23That's it.
00:30:26And keep him the hell out of here.
00:31:16Yeah, I'll let you know.
00:31:18Look, I'll get back to you.
00:31:20Lieutenant Anderson wants you
00:31:21to look at this, Sergeant,
00:31:22personally.
00:31:26Who's J.D. Jackson?
00:31:28Associate Warden
00:31:29at the Community Treatment Center.
00:31:31Your name's J.D. Jackson.
00:31:32You say the two men
00:31:33stopped you on Figueroa Street.
00:31:34That's right.
00:31:37About what time was that?
00:31:39Eleven.
00:31:40At night.
00:31:42And what happened?
00:31:43One of them flashed
00:31:44a badge at me
00:31:45and motioned for me
00:31:46to pull over
00:31:47as they came up
00:31:48alongside my car.
00:31:51And then what?
00:31:52They told me
00:31:53to get into their car.
00:31:55I refused.
00:31:56They said they would
00:31:57call Black and White,
00:31:58but they didn't have
00:31:59a radio.
00:32:00I mean,
00:32:01stuff that didn't match.
00:32:03Go on.
00:32:04When I asked
00:32:05for their badge numbers,
00:32:06they got really angry,
00:32:07even abusive.
00:32:09So I started to cry,
00:32:10and play,
00:32:11oh, please don't hurt me, sir.
00:32:12Please don't hurt me.
00:32:14I attracted
00:32:15so much attention,
00:32:17I guess they let me go.
00:32:20And when I got home,
00:32:22then I really broke down.
00:32:28What made you
00:32:29call the task force?
00:32:31I realized that these guys
00:32:32could be the Hillside Stranglers.
00:32:34I mean,
00:32:35from everything
00:32:36that I'd read and heard,
00:32:37their methods checked out.
00:32:38I mean,
00:32:39the place was right,
00:32:40the time of night,
00:32:41the car,
00:32:43everything was right.
00:32:45So I called.
00:32:46Good.
00:32:48You're for real.
00:32:51Come on.
00:32:52I'll walk you to your car.
00:32:53Well, it's three miles away.
00:32:54It's being repaired.
00:32:55How'd you get here?
00:32:56Did you hitchhike?
00:32:58Cab.
00:32:59Is this still part
00:33:00of the official investigation?
00:33:01If you could just handle
00:33:02one more question.
00:33:05Just about.
00:33:06Why'd these two guys
00:33:07stop you?
00:33:08I was going 80 miles an hour
00:33:09on Figueroa Street.
00:33:11Why were you going
00:33:1280 miles an hour?
00:33:13I'd just broken up
00:33:14with my boyfriend.
00:33:16Why?
00:33:24No, I was
00:33:25a real child of the 60s.
00:33:26I spent more time
00:33:27throwing bricks
00:33:28at the Roxy boat
00:33:29than I did studying
00:33:30when I was in college.
00:33:31Come on.
00:33:32No, I wasn't.
00:33:34How'd you get to be
00:33:35the warden of a halfway house?
00:33:36Oh, I think you look
00:33:37at life differently
00:33:38when you're at that age
00:33:39than when you're
00:33:41at the age that I'm at now.
00:33:45I had no sense
00:33:46of needing security.
00:33:49No sense of having
00:33:50an old age,
00:33:51which is rapidly approaching.
00:33:54Can't tell from here.
00:33:56The light.
00:33:58Well, or the lack of it.
00:34:01Anyway,
00:34:02um, one day
00:34:03I just found myself
00:34:04interested in human services.
00:34:06Hurt your pitch knob, huh?
00:34:08And ran out of bricks.
00:34:14You been married?
00:34:15Once.
00:34:17After.
00:34:21What about you?
00:34:23And yours?
00:34:25I think I just got
00:34:26to the point where, uh,
00:34:29I needed more
00:34:30than just a mother
00:34:31for my children.
00:34:32Maybe it just took me
00:34:33a little longer to grow up.
00:34:34Takes a lot of years, you know.
00:34:35It did me.
00:34:37Yeah, we got married
00:34:38when we were young.
00:34:41Grew up together in Boston
00:34:42and we were just kids.
00:34:44Really too young.
00:34:49What are you missing?
00:34:51I'm not sure.
00:34:54I'll know when I find it.
00:34:55It's late.
00:34:57Oh, here.
00:34:58Here, I'll take you home.
00:35:04Here.
00:35:07This place is, um,
00:35:09kind of weird.
00:35:11Why?
00:35:13Everybody in here
00:35:14looks like a cop.
00:35:19I don't know.
00:35:21I don't know.
00:35:23I don't know.
00:35:25Everybody in here is a cop.
00:35:27This is where we do
00:35:28our best work.
00:35:50Good night, Bob.
00:35:52Thanks.
00:35:55Oh, um,
00:35:57how about a cup of coffee?
00:35:59Sorry.
00:36:01Oh, I just thought...
00:36:02Don't push it, Grogan.
00:36:03Whatever you're missing,
00:36:04you won't find it here.
00:36:09Not tonight, anyway.
00:36:26Mr. Bianchi?
00:36:27Yes, sir.
00:36:28Kenneth Bianchi?
00:36:30That's my name.
00:36:31Okay, if I can get it.
00:36:33Sure.
00:36:34Thank you, sir.
00:36:36Sit down.
00:36:37Mind if I ask you some questions,
00:36:38Mr. Bianchi?
00:36:39Certainly not.
00:36:40I hope nothing is wrong.
00:36:42You've been dating a girl
00:36:43named Cheryl Allison?
00:36:45Yes, I have.
00:36:46Has anything happened to Cheryl?
00:36:47No, no, no.
00:36:48Miss Allison's mother
00:36:49filed a complaint.
00:36:50She said that you borrowed
00:36:51money from her daughter.
00:36:52Is that a crime?
00:36:54No, sir, it isn't.
00:36:57We're investigating
00:36:58the Hillside Strang thing.
00:36:59She couldn't exactly say why,
00:37:02but I don't know.
00:37:03She thought it might be
00:37:04a good idea to talk to you.
00:37:06Well, you have no reason
00:37:07to be embarrassed.
00:37:09You have a job to do, too, right?
00:37:11I'll be more than happy
00:37:12to answer any questions you have.
00:37:13Thanks.
00:37:16How come the cop's
00:37:17been to see you, honey?
00:37:18He's been there all night.
00:37:19I don't know.
00:37:20How come the cop's
00:37:21been to see you, honey?
00:37:22He's been to see me.
00:37:23Some chick's idiot motherless.
00:37:24That was cool, man.
00:37:25I want to tell you something.
00:37:26You stay away from me.
00:37:27Do you understand?
00:37:28Stay away.
00:37:29Stay away?
00:37:30When are we going out again?
00:37:31When I say so.
00:37:32Now you go clue off
00:37:33for a couple of months.
00:37:34I'll tell you when to come back.
00:37:40Were you out today?
00:37:41Yeah, I was.
00:37:42What'd you get?
00:37:43Nothing.
00:37:44Followed up six leads.
00:37:45Got one completed.
00:37:46Spoke to a guy named Bianchi.
00:37:47Here's his file.
00:37:48What's a Bianchi?
00:37:49Just a guy.
00:37:50I checked him out.
00:37:51Got a copy of his
00:37:52driver's license
00:37:53and a photo status
00:37:54application
00:37:55at Verdugo Hills Hospital.
00:37:56He studied at Columbia
00:37:57and New York in psychology.
00:37:59Clean.
00:38:00No prior record.
00:38:04File it.
00:38:10Oh, I must say,
00:38:11this is really exciting.
00:38:13It's fabulous,
00:38:14the idea that
00:38:16any citizen
00:38:17can ride along
00:38:18in a police car
00:38:19is, uh,
00:38:20special.
00:38:22Well, it gives the people
00:38:23a first-hand close-up
00:38:24of what we do every day.
00:38:25You'd be surprised
00:38:26how many people
00:38:27have a misconception
00:38:28of what our jobs are.
00:38:29I'll bet.
00:38:30I'll bet.
00:38:31You know something?
00:38:32I've always wanted
00:38:33to be a policeman.
00:38:34Said so.
00:38:36Thank you.
00:38:39Watch your leg.
00:38:49All right.
00:38:52Say, will we be driving
00:38:53to any of the sites
00:38:54where the Hillside Strangler
00:38:55bodies were found?
00:38:57Oh, that's not my beat, sir.
00:38:58I don't know the actual location.
00:38:59Right, right, sorry.
00:39:01Just as well.
00:39:02It's a little too gruesome
00:39:03for me.
00:39:08Hey, Bob.
00:39:09Yeah?
00:39:11We got the two guys
00:39:12who stopped the Jackson woman.
00:39:15The what?
00:39:17Well, how?
00:39:18They just walked in
00:39:19and surrendered.
00:39:21Come on in.
00:39:23Boys.
00:39:30You too?
00:39:38They weren't the Hillside Strangler.
00:39:40What?
00:39:42They were just
00:39:43a couple of ice caps.
00:39:44They got drunk
00:39:45after duty
00:39:46and they were looking
00:39:47for a little action.
00:39:48Well,
00:39:49what do you have
00:39:50on the case so far?
00:39:51There's an old saying
00:39:52on homicide.
00:39:53You crawl into
00:39:54a victim's shoes,
00:39:55you'll find the murderer.
00:39:56Well, we did that.
00:39:58And we found nothing.
00:40:00And the victims aren't killed
00:40:01where their bodies are dumped.
00:40:02So, there's no murder scene.
00:40:05All the leads are phony.
00:40:07And suddenly,
00:40:08two months ago,
00:40:09the killings stopped.
00:40:11We're guys
00:40:12that are used to the hunt.
00:40:13I mean, we're used
00:40:14to finding our prey.
00:40:16You know what it does to you?
00:40:17I'm beginning to find out.
00:40:20We got Margaret Wilson
00:40:22and Helen Tobin.
00:40:24They live across the street
00:40:25from each other,
00:40:26but they don't know each other.
00:40:27Now, that means
00:40:28that the killers
00:40:29either live or work
00:40:30in Glendale.
00:40:31Which explains
00:40:32why they're familiar
00:40:33with the area
00:40:34and why the dump sites
00:40:35are so remote.
00:40:36Right.
00:40:37Hernandez found
00:40:38a little piece of
00:40:39fluff
00:40:40on Linda Walker's ivy.
00:40:41Now, he had it examined.
00:40:43But it's just polyester fiber.
00:40:44Origin unknown.
00:40:46So that let us know
00:40:47where the labs
00:40:48were working on that.
00:40:50Malika Samet,
00:40:51she had marks
00:40:52on the palms of her hands.
00:40:53Electrical burns.
00:40:55Now, that indicates
00:40:56that she was tortured.
00:40:58And Margaret Wilson,
00:41:00a bunch of marks
00:41:01on the arm,
00:41:02also torture
00:41:03as she wasn't doing drugs.
00:41:05And just a lot more,
00:41:06you know,
00:41:07trivial like that.
00:41:09And we've gotten
00:41:10no witnesses
00:41:11except one woman,
00:41:13Betty Atkins.
00:41:14I'm telling you,
00:41:15she's the case.
00:41:16She saw one of the victims
00:41:17abducted
00:41:18and then later
00:41:19one of the stranglers called
00:41:20and threatened her.
00:41:22Well, I've been to see her,
00:41:23what, maybe 30 times.
00:41:25I never ate so many
00:41:26cookies in my life.
00:41:27Now, she says
00:41:28that she was inside
00:41:29when she saw it happen.
00:41:30I don't believe that.
00:41:31I'm trying to get her
00:41:32to admit that she was outside
00:41:33and a whole lot closer.
00:41:35So we try to put her
00:41:36in hypnosis.
00:41:37But every time
00:41:38she almost gets out of there,
00:41:39she has an asthma attack.
00:41:43Which
00:41:45you're going to have
00:41:46if I don't stop talking
00:41:47and get the hell out of here.
00:41:49I'm a very good listener.
00:41:51Yeah, yeah, you are.
00:41:53You're a hell of a good listener.
00:41:56I, uh,
00:41:57I'm afraid I don't get to, uh,
00:42:00unload like this too often.
00:42:04Anytime, Garvey.
00:42:09Thanks.
00:42:11Well, gotta go.
00:42:18You, uh,
00:42:19you like jazz, huh?
00:42:22Me too.
00:42:23I love it.
00:42:24You like Stan Getz?
00:42:25You bet.
00:42:26Woody Herman?
00:42:27Woody Herman is the best.
00:42:29I love Woody Herman.
00:42:31Woody Herman's my favorite.
00:42:33I'd like to see you again.
00:42:37Okay.
00:42:38When?
00:42:40Now.
00:43:03I better tell you something.
00:43:05What?
00:43:07I don't wear pajamas.
00:43:09It's okay.
00:43:11Neither do I.
00:43:33Marcia, believe me,
00:43:34I've been a psychologist
00:43:35long enough to know
00:43:37that your husband
00:43:38has been working too hard,
00:43:40under stress,
00:43:42to provide for the new baby.
00:43:44You think so, really?
00:43:45I'm sure of it.
00:43:46It's not your fault
00:43:47any more than it is his.
00:43:48Now, if you can afford it,
00:43:49get a babysitter,
00:43:50take a long weekend,
00:43:51just the two of you.
00:43:53It'll be like a second honeymoon,
00:43:54if you will.
00:43:55Trust me.
00:43:56Thank you, Dr. McIntyre.
00:43:58Okay, Marcia,
00:43:59anytime.
00:44:01Good night.
00:44:03Good night.
00:44:31Angelo?
00:44:49Ange?
00:44:52I told you
00:44:53never to come around here.
00:44:55Come on.
00:44:57It's been two months
00:44:58since I seen you.
00:45:00I miss you.
00:45:02You knew me, remember?
00:45:04Guess what,
00:45:05you don't even invite me
00:45:06to your wedding?
00:45:07I don't know.
00:45:08I really missed you, Ange.
00:45:11You're broke, huh?
00:45:12Mm-hmm.
00:45:13Lost your job again?
00:45:14Yeah.
00:45:15I can't take some of that crap
00:45:16these guys hand out.
00:45:18You'll never hold on
00:45:19to anything, Kenny.
00:45:20You have no sense
00:45:21of responsibility.
00:45:22Responsible?
00:45:23Did I tell you
00:45:24I've gone back
00:45:25to my psychology classes?
00:45:27Remember those
00:45:28transcripts and diplomas
00:45:29I scanned from that guy?
00:45:30What guy?
00:45:31Guy from Cal State,
00:45:32Ed McIntyre.
00:45:33Remember him?
00:45:34You should be
00:45:35your own first customer.
00:45:37I get bored, Ange.
00:45:39I need some excitement.
00:45:40I need some stimulation.
00:45:42I miss our old action.
00:45:45You know what I did yesterday?
00:45:47I went on a ride-along.
00:45:49A what?
00:45:50A ride-along
00:45:51in a police car.
00:45:54Honest,
00:45:55I had nothing to do,
00:45:56so I registered,
00:45:57and they took me.
00:45:59Sergeant Thorpe drove.
00:46:00He was a nice guy.
00:46:01And I asked him
00:46:02to show me some
00:46:03of the dump spots
00:46:04where the hillside
00:46:05stranglers dump their bodies,
00:46:06I said.
00:46:07And he said
00:46:08that was up to Armacello.
00:46:10Don't do that.
00:46:11Crazy idiot.
00:46:13Look, okay,
00:46:14I was only kidding, okay?
00:46:15You're looking for kicks, huh?
00:46:17Publicity?
00:46:18The cops don't come to you,
00:46:19you go to the cops?
00:46:21What else did you tell Kenny?
00:46:22What else?
00:46:23I didn't say anything
00:46:24to anybody.
00:46:25It's over, Kenny.
00:46:27You're leaving.
00:46:29No more scamming.
00:46:30Go ahead
00:46:31and just put that down,
00:46:32okay, Ang?
00:46:33I mean, I'm your cousin,
00:46:34okay, it's Kenny.
00:46:36I mean, we're part,
00:46:37we're in this thing together.
00:46:38We're not,
00:46:39we're not.
00:46:42You're leaving, Kenny,
00:46:43before you do something
00:46:44to blow this whole deal.
00:46:46We quit while we're ahead.
00:46:48You're leaving, Kenny,
00:46:49do you understand?
00:46:50Go where?
00:46:51I got no place to go.
00:46:52What was that town up north?
00:46:53What town?
00:46:54You have some ex-girlfriend
00:46:55from Washington someplace?
00:46:56What?
00:46:57Bellingham?
00:46:58That town is from no place.
00:46:59It's jerk water time, Ang.
00:47:01It rains every day.
00:47:04You're going, Kenny,
00:47:06to Bellingham
00:47:08and you're gonna stay.
00:47:10If you don't go
00:47:12or if you come back,
00:47:15I swear to God I'll kill you.
00:47:18I'll kill you, Kenny.
00:47:26Kill me.
00:47:28Kill me.
00:47:29Nobody talks to Kenny Bianchi
00:47:30that way, nobody.
00:47:50Where is everybody?
00:47:52What is this, St. Paddy's Day?
00:47:53Shutting it down, Bob.
00:47:54The what?
00:47:55Orders.
00:47:56We have other cases
00:47:57and this one's taking us nowhere.
00:47:59We'll work with a skeleton crew.
00:48:00You can't do that.
00:48:01Orders, Bob.
00:48:03There haven't been any new bodies
00:48:04in almost a year.
00:48:06We're shutting it down.
00:48:25Can you fill it up, please?
00:48:26I'll be right with you.
00:48:33Get that down for me over there, okay?
00:48:34All right.
00:48:39Louise?
00:48:44Hiya.
00:48:46Hiya.
00:48:47How's it going?
00:48:48Good.
00:48:49How's it going?
00:48:51Good.
00:48:53Hiya.
00:48:55It's Kenny.
00:48:57Kenny Bianchi.
00:48:58We...
00:48:59Bob was working at the hardware store
00:49:00when we met last.
00:49:01Right.
00:49:02How are you, Kenny?
00:49:04Miserable.
00:49:05What's wrong?
00:49:07Lousy, boring town, Louise.
00:49:08There's...
00:49:09There's no action.
00:49:10You know, I've been here
00:49:11like eight months
00:49:12and there's no action.
00:49:13There's one good thing.
00:49:14I won't grow old here,
00:49:15although I'm bored of it
00:49:16at a young age, you know?
00:49:18What are you doing?
00:49:19How are you doing?
00:49:20Looking for work.
00:49:21Well, if you're broke,
00:49:22I can lend you some.
00:49:23I can afford it.
00:49:24I'm captain of security
00:49:25at Everfast.
00:49:26Here's my badge.
00:49:27My van to my left.
00:49:28So what do you need?
00:49:29Oh, that's real nice of you, Kenny,
00:49:31but no thanks.
00:49:32I mean, I don't...
00:49:33I don't know you well enough for that,
00:49:34but thanks anyway.
00:49:35You're a real nice guy.
00:49:41Guys!
00:49:43Louise!
00:49:44Um, we're installing
00:49:45a new security system
00:49:46at the Van Adam house
00:49:47on Shoreline Drive.
00:49:48Uh, well, Thursday night
00:49:49the house will regrettably be
00:49:50without a security system,
00:49:52and I was wondering
00:49:53if you'd like to house-sit.
00:49:55Um, you'd be doing me
00:49:56a big favor,
00:49:57and it'd be 100 bucks for you.
00:49:59Aren't you sweet, Kenny?
00:50:00That...
00:50:01That'd be terrific.
00:50:02Nine o'clock at the house.
00:50:03You can drive
00:50:04right up to the door,
00:50:05and I'll see you then.
00:50:06Okay, great.
00:50:07Great.
00:50:21Hi, Kenny.
00:50:22Hiya.
00:50:23This is my roommate,
00:50:24Nikki Ross.
00:50:25This is Kenny Bialik.
00:50:26Nikki Ross.
00:50:27Hello.
00:50:28What are you doing here?
00:50:29She's just company.
00:50:30That's okay, isn't it?
00:50:31That's okay.
00:50:32I wasn't expecting
00:50:33anybody else,
00:50:34but that's...
00:50:35Let's go inside.
00:50:51Are you okay?
00:50:52No.
00:50:53It looks like
00:50:54they turned off the lights.
00:50:55Better go down
00:50:56to the basement
00:50:57and check the fuses.
00:50:58Louise,
00:50:59if you're gonna house-sit,
00:51:00you're gonna have to
00:51:01know your way around,
00:51:02aren't you?
00:51:03Okay.
00:51:04You're not afraid
00:51:05of the dark, are we?
00:51:06No.
00:51:07Good girl.
00:51:08We'll be right back.
00:51:09Okay.
00:51:10You're not afraid
00:51:11of the dark, are we?
00:51:12No.
00:51:13Good girl.
00:51:14We'll be right back.
00:51:15Okay.
00:51:16You're not afraid
00:51:17of the dark, are we?
00:51:18No.
00:51:20No.
00:51:35The fuse box
00:51:36is right over there.
00:51:46I really can't see
00:51:47very much, Kenny.
00:51:48Let me fix that for you.
00:52:02Louise?
00:52:06We're having trouble finding the fuse box.
00:52:09What's taking you guys so long?
00:52:12Uh, why don't you come on down? Maybe you can help.
00:52:19Louise?
00:52:24Kenny?
00:52:28Louise?
00:52:48Louise?
00:53:18I don't need you, Angelo. I don't need you anymore.
00:53:48Gentlemen?
00:54:19Are you Kenneth Bianchi?
00:54:21Yes, sir, I am. How may I help you, officer?
00:54:25You're under arrest.
00:54:27You have the right to remain silent.
00:54:29You have the right to have an attorney present during questioning.
00:54:38It isn't easy for either one of us.
00:54:40Neither one of you.
00:54:42But it just made sense to, uh, to realize, to admit,
00:54:46that I'm not coming home.
00:54:51But most important of all, I want you to know that it has nothing to do with you.
00:54:56I know that sometimes kids blame themselves for what happens between their parents.
00:55:02I don't want you to do that, all right?
00:55:05You've met someone.
00:55:09Well, that's part of it, yeah.
00:55:11What's her name?
00:55:13J.D.
00:55:15Those are initials.
00:55:17It's her name.
00:55:19But I want you to know, she didn't have anything to do with my leaving the house.
00:55:23What did?
00:55:25Well, it all started to happen years ago.
00:55:31Now I want you...
00:55:35Just don't answer it.
00:55:37I won't. Look, this is the way I want us to be.
00:55:41I... I won't.
00:55:45I'm sorry, kids. I gotta go, okay?
00:55:47Hey, phone?
00:55:49It's around the corner.
00:55:50Yeah, hang on. I got lots more to say, okay?
00:55:57Rogan.
00:56:02I'll be right there.
00:56:15The bodies of Nikki Ross and Louise Sojik were discovered early this morning in Bellingham, Washington.
00:56:20They were strangled, sexually molested, and dumped.
00:56:23Who were they?
00:56:24Two local girls.
00:56:25Miss Sojik told her boyfriend about a house-hitting job.
00:56:27It was arranged by a security guard named Kenneth Bianchi.
00:56:30Bianchi? Why does that name sound familiar to me?
00:56:34The Bellingham police searched his apartment.
00:56:35They turned up masses of stolen goods.
00:56:37That made their job easier.
00:56:38They were able to book him for grand theft.
00:56:40That way they could hold him.
00:56:41Why'd they call us?
00:56:42He's got a California driver's license.
00:56:44They called to check on his background.
00:56:46His address is listed as 908 West Spring Lane.
00:56:50Hey, that's the building next to Eunice Wakefield.
00:56:52And across the street from Margaret Wilson.
00:56:54Right, right.
00:56:56Bianchi.
00:56:58You know, I'm sure that one of our officers investigated a guy named Kenneth Bianchi months ago.
00:57:08Yeah, here it is.
00:57:10Kenneth Bianchi.
00:57:12Gave us his character reference.
00:57:13A guy named Angelo Buono.
00:57:15Some upholsterer on Colorado Street in Glendale.
00:57:18That's his cousin.
00:57:20Buono.
00:57:22Buono, Buono, Buono.
00:57:24Bianchi.
00:57:26Oh, my God.
00:57:28What?
00:57:29That German psychic.
00:57:31He said we should look for two Italian brothers.
00:57:34You gotta be kidding me.
00:57:36I don't believe this.
00:57:40Angelo Buono?
00:57:41Yeah, right. What can I do for you?
00:57:43We'd like to, uh, talk to you.
00:57:46Talk about what?
00:57:48Kenny Bianchi.
00:57:50You know Kenny Bianchi?
00:57:52Yeah, sure, I know him.
00:57:54Is he a relative?
00:57:56Yeah, he's a cousin of mine. Why? What'd he do?
00:57:58He's accused of killing a couple of girls up in Washington.
00:58:01Don't surprise me, man.
00:58:03How's that?
00:58:04Now, Kenny's a little cuckoo, you know.
00:58:06That right.
00:58:11Hey, you've heard about the, uh, hillside stranglers, haven't you?
00:58:15I read the newspapers.
00:58:17Angelo, do you own a police badge?
00:58:21What would I be doing with a police badge?
00:58:23How about Kenny? Does he have one?
00:58:25Yeah, he had something, uh, some kind of badge.
00:58:28Got it at a swap meet someplace. They're easy to get, you know.
00:58:32Old Kenny, he liked to be different people.
00:58:35Really? What do you mean by different people?
00:58:38Well, like one time he ran an office space from a doctor.
00:58:40Made off like he was one of them hedge shrinks.
00:58:42Psychologist?
00:58:44Yeah, right, something like that.
00:58:46How'd he get away with that?
00:58:48He hung phony certificates on the wall with other guys' names.
00:58:51Moved in just before he went up north.
00:58:53He used the name of, uh...
00:58:56McIntyre.
00:58:58Ted McIntyre.
00:59:00Angelo, I've got something here I want to show you.
00:59:03These are pictures of the girls that were murdered.
00:59:06These are pictures of the girls that were murdered down here.
00:59:09I'd like you to take a look at them.
00:59:14Look at them.
00:59:26All of them.
00:59:36All of them.
00:59:47Did you ever know any of these girls?
00:59:50I've seen their pictures on television.
00:59:52Never met any of them?
00:59:55No, never.
01:00:00Angelo.
01:00:02Does Kenny have any weird sexual hang-ups, you know?
01:00:05Look, who knows what goes on in a guy's mind, right?
01:00:07We all got funny things.
01:00:09Yeah, how about you, Angelo? You got funny things, too, huh?
01:00:12I hear you like to be called the Italian Stallion, is that right?
01:00:15Look, I've been pretty patient with you two guys up until now,
01:00:17but you're violating my civil rights, and I don't like it.
01:00:19And I'm gonna tell you something.
01:00:21No, I'm gonna tell you something.
01:00:23Deep down inside, I think you're as yellow as fresh manure.
01:00:25You're trying to put all this off on Kenny Bianchi,
01:00:27but you were with him all the way.
01:00:29And when we can prove that, we're gonna come back here.
01:00:31And when we leave, you're gonna go with us.
01:00:34You understand what I'm saying?
01:01:05Dr. Shannon Baxter, welcome to The Morning Show.
01:01:08Thank you for inviting me.
01:01:10I think people are gonna be particularly fascinated
01:01:12by your nonfiction work on the abnormal mind.
01:01:16You have this section in here that I find utterly fascinating,
01:01:19about the multiple personality.
01:01:21I mean, you literally are saying, in fact,
01:01:24there is that which we hear about so frequently in fiction,
01:01:27the person who's on the one hand Dr. Jekyll,
01:01:29and the next moment, the person who's on the other.
01:01:32It is a rare condition.
01:01:34But I have seen many cases where the patient is split
01:01:38into several different and distinct multiple personalities.
01:01:42Neither personality remembering what the other has done or said.
01:01:48His attorney thinks he's what?
01:01:50A multiple personality.
01:01:52He's a multiple killer, that's what he is.
01:01:54You know what he's going for, don't you?
01:01:56An insanity plea to bring in some big-shot psychiatrists
01:01:58to hypnotize him.
01:02:00Man, if he does go into hypnosis, he could implicate porno.
01:02:03Mike and I should go to Bellingham.
01:02:09Do you know much about hypnosis?
01:02:11Not much.
01:02:13I read a pamphlet once.
01:02:16I thought this would be a new experience for me.
01:02:19Well, I wouldn't worry about it.
01:02:21I think everything will be just fine.
01:02:23I trust you, doctor.
01:02:25Now, just take a few deep breaths.
01:02:29And watch the pendulum as it swings from side to side.
01:02:34Feel heavy.
01:02:36Close your eyes.
01:02:39Feel heavy.
01:02:42And relax every part of your body.
01:02:47Now, I think there's a part of Ken
01:02:51that I haven't talked to yet.
01:02:53And at the count of three,
01:02:55I would like to communicate with that part.
01:02:58One...
01:03:00Two...
01:03:02Three.
01:03:04Thank you, part.
01:03:06You may open your eyes.
01:03:09Part, are you the same thing as Ken,
01:03:13or are you different in any way?
01:03:16I'm not him. I'm not Ken.
01:03:20Who are you? Do you have a name?
01:03:23Do you have a name?
01:03:25I got a name for him.
01:03:27Ted, you can call me Ted.
01:03:30Ted?
01:03:32I hate him. I hate Ken.
01:03:35Why do you hate Ken, Ted?
01:03:37Because he tries to be nice.
01:03:39I hate a lot of people.
01:03:41But I fixed Ken when he came to California. I fixed him good.
01:03:44What do you mean? How did you do that?
01:03:46He walked in on his cousin Angelo.
01:03:48Angelo?
01:03:50Angelo was in the middle of killing this girl,
01:03:53and Ken walks in,
01:03:55and I make him feel like he's part of it, see?
01:03:57I make him feel like there's nothing wrong with killing people
01:03:59because it's like getting back at his mother.
01:04:01Did Ken kill some of these girls?
01:04:03Yeah, but I made him do it.
01:04:05He couldn't figure out later what he did or why.
01:04:07He couldn't come up with it, because I wouldn't let him remember.
01:04:10I made him kill all those women. I made him strangle all those ladies.
01:04:13I even made him strangle those two girls here in Washington.
01:04:16Now, where did these killings take place?
01:04:20Angelo's house.
01:04:23Angelo and Ken would take turns strangling the girls.
01:04:28Do you have a last name, Ted?
01:04:32McIntyre.
01:04:34All right, I'm going to count from one to five.
01:04:38At that time, you will awaken completely refreshed, relaxed, totally alert.
01:04:45One, two, three, four, five.
01:04:58He was no more hypnotized than I am.
01:05:00Well, at least he fingered Bono.
01:05:08Hernandez.
01:05:10Yeah.
01:05:14Are you kidding me?
01:05:19Okay. I'll tell him.
01:05:24Henderson.
01:05:26Bianchi's performance was greater than you think.
01:05:28We're in big trouble. The shrink bought his act.
01:05:31What?
01:05:33They've notified the court that they'll enter a plea of not guilty by reason of insanity.
01:05:39Those lousy shrinks.
01:05:43Some crazy jury's going to turn him loose because his mother was mean to him.
01:05:48If they buy that Kenny's a nutcase, we won't be able to touch Bono.
01:05:52McIntyre.
01:05:53Bianchi will do a couple of years in a mental hospital and then they'll let him go.
01:05:56McIntyre.
01:05:57In two years, we're going to have to look for the son of a bitch...
01:05:58Okay, McIntyre. McIntyre.
01:06:00What are you talking, McIntyre?
01:06:01It's been driving me crazy since Bianchi said it.
01:06:03Why?
01:06:04Bono said it first. Ted McIntyre.
01:06:06McIntyre what?
01:06:08The diplomas.
01:06:11Phony diplomas.
01:06:12Phony diplomas.
01:06:16He just might have made the mistake of giving his other personality a real person's name.
01:06:21Let's go get a second opinion.
01:06:31You're feeling fully relaxed and deeply, deeply asleep.
01:06:35Now, Mr. Bianchi, I'm going to make this circle on your hand.
01:06:38And when I touch you outside the circle, you will feel pressure and you will say yes.
01:06:43When I touch you inside the circle, you will feel nothing and say no.
01:06:47Outside the circle, you will feel pressure and say yes.
01:06:51Inside the circle, you will feel nothing and say no.
01:06:55Are you ready?
01:06:57I am.
01:07:01Yes.
01:07:09Yes.
01:07:17All right, Mr. Bianchi, you can open your eyes.
01:07:21Now, I want you to imagine your lawyer, Mr. Jason Burns, sitting in that chair to your left.
01:07:27Well, Mr. Burns, how are you?
01:07:30I'd like to thank you for all the help you've been giving me on the case.
01:07:32Do you see him there?
01:07:34Yes, sir, I do.
01:07:36Do you see him there?
01:07:38Yes, sir, I do indeed.
01:07:40Why, I know you, doctor.
01:07:42Should I?
01:07:43Well, if I see him, he's there, isn't he?
01:07:46Mr. Bianchi, do you see your lawyer, Mr. Jason Burns, sitting in the chair to your right?
01:07:50How could Jason be sitting in two places at once?
01:07:53He's right where you told me he was.
01:07:55May I touch you, sir?
01:07:57You see, I feel him. He's right here.
01:08:07Well, what do you think?
01:08:09Well, it's obvious. When I touched his hand inside the circle, he said nothing.
01:08:14Now, he thought he had outsmarted me, but in fact he had demonstrated that he was fully awake.
01:08:19You see, a truly hypnotized individual would have said no as I instructed.
01:08:25What happened with that lawyer thing?
01:08:28Bianchi was trying to prove he was experiencing his hallucination.
01:08:32Bianchi was trying to prove he was experiencing his hallucination.
01:08:36He was not.
01:08:38You see, a truly hypnotized individual does not interact physically with a hallucination.
01:08:43Gentlemen, he's a fake.
01:08:57Well, Kenny, you're getting to be pretty famous.
01:09:02How was your session with Dr. Owens?
01:09:04All right, I guess. You don't remember much when you're hypnotized.
01:09:08Well, he says, to use a police term, you're full of crap.
01:09:12Come on, Kenny. You are no more hypnotized than you're a multiple.
01:09:16This is Richard Carson, Kenny. He's the deputy DA from Los Angeles.
01:09:21Mr. Bianchi, I've been authorized to offer you a deal.
01:09:26A deal?
01:09:28Basically, it's this.
01:09:31If you plead guilty to the Washington murders and the Hillside stranglings,
01:09:36you'll be given a life sentence with the possibility of parole instead of the death penalty.
01:09:42You can serve your time in California.
01:09:45Walla Walla State Prison here in Washington is the toughest in the country if you're not aware of that.
01:09:52And in return, you must testify fully and truthfully about Angelo Buolam.
01:10:02Okay.
01:10:08So, who came up with the idea of how to kill the girls?
01:10:12He was the one who first came up with the idea of murder.
01:10:15Did Buolam ever say what his motivation was?
01:10:18No, we never discussed anything like that.
01:10:21I just can't get it through my head that Buolam was the organizer and you were the follower.
01:10:26I think it best not to shortchange Angelo Buolam.
01:10:29He's very streetwise and he can come off any way he wants to.
01:10:32You know, it's a funny thing. I was thinking, Kenny.
01:10:34You and me, we got a lot in common.
01:10:37Two Catholic kids from the East, Catholic schools, do this, don't do this, right?
01:10:43Right.
01:10:44I meet up with a bunch of cops, you meet up with a guy like Buolam.
01:10:48What happened?
01:10:50I don't know.
01:10:52Do this, don't do this.
01:10:54And all of a sudden, you can do whatever the hell you want.
01:10:57Then you gave in.
01:10:59And pretty soon, what do you know?
01:11:02Here you are.
01:11:05So are you.
01:11:07Yeah, but I'm walking out of here and you're not.
01:11:10No credit to you, sir.
01:11:14What does that mean?
01:11:16What that means is that you're not the killer.
01:11:20What does that mean?
01:11:21What that means, big city cop, is that you've been chasing us for what, like two years now?
01:11:26And it took some jerk order for us to finally crack the case.
01:11:29Now, what I want to know is how that makes you feel.
01:11:34It doesn't matter who caught you.
01:11:37I think it does. I think it matters to you, sir.
01:11:41You are evil, Kenny.
01:11:44You're as evil as they come.
01:11:47And it galls me to have to spare your life.
01:11:51The only reason we're going through all of this is so that we can put you and Angela away.
01:11:54Do you understand that?
01:11:56Yes.
01:12:00Now, I want some straight answers from you.
01:12:02We're gonna start with the first girl.
01:12:07Okay, now that you've gotten Bianchi's confession, what are you gonna do about Buono?
01:12:12We just put him under 24-hour surveillance.
01:12:17What motivates a guy like that?
01:12:19Oh, I've seen lots of guys like him pass through this town.
01:12:22Nothing unusual about him.
01:12:24During the day, he's a hard-working guy. At night, he kills women.
01:12:27Very funny.
01:12:29What I don't understand is the women we interviewed.
01:12:32They find him attractive.
01:12:34Ugly attractive, sexy, animal-like. You believe that?
01:12:37It's fascinating.
01:12:48Oh, my God.
01:12:50What's the matter?
01:12:51Am I going crazy or what? Hey, look at this. Who is this?
01:12:56That's J.D.
01:13:01What the hell is she doing there?
01:13:03You're asking me?
01:13:04What the hell does she think is gonna blow our cover?
01:13:07Just keep an eye on her, okay?
01:13:10Okay.
01:13:13Hello.
01:13:15Hi. Can I help you?
01:13:18I, uh, I think I need new carpeting.
01:13:21What do you think?
01:13:22Well, I mean, it's all spotted.
01:13:24Why don't you let me take a look?
01:13:27You from the neighborhood?
01:13:28Uh, more or less.
01:13:30What I mean is, uh...
01:13:32You know, I've been here for a long time.
01:13:34You know, I've been here for a long time.
01:13:36You know, I've been here for a long time.
01:13:38You know, I've been here for a long time.
01:13:40What I mean is, uh, who sent you?
01:13:43I, uh, I found your card in my purse.
01:13:46Someone must have recommended you.
01:13:48Oh, really?
01:13:55Who?
01:13:57I don't remember.
01:13:58Well, whoever it was knows quality.
01:14:00I give you nothing but the finest.
01:14:02I'm sure.
01:14:04You know, uh, some people may think I'm out of my mind for doing this,
01:14:08but you really don't need new carpets.
01:14:10I got some special cleaner to make it look like brand new.
01:14:14Okay.
01:14:15I got it inside. Come on.
01:14:22Come on.
01:14:34Two minutes.
01:14:36If she's not out in two minutes...
01:14:42Come on.
01:14:48Guaranteed to work on your money back.
01:14:50Thanks.
01:15:07Okay.
01:15:24I was just about to close.
01:15:27Will you do me a favor?
01:15:30What?
01:15:32Business has been kind of lousy.
01:15:34Can you tell your friends maybe even, uh, dirty their cars?
01:15:40That was a joke.
01:15:48Thanks.
01:15:52Hey.
01:15:56Ten bucks?
01:15:59Are you crazy?
01:16:01What in the hell possessed you to do such a stupid thing?
01:16:03I had to see for myself.
01:16:05I had to see what he was like.
01:16:08I was okay until he asked me to follow him into the shop,
01:16:13and even though that I knew that you were there...
01:16:29God, I'm an idiot.
01:16:32No argument.
01:16:35But I've never been in love with an idiot before.
01:16:40Thanks.
01:16:45Oh, Cohen.
01:16:47It was so...
01:16:51normal.
01:16:54If I didn't know...
01:16:58you know...
01:17:02I would have bought his act.
01:17:12Hello?
01:17:14Yes, he's here.
01:17:18Yeah.
01:17:22Okay.
01:17:24Okay.
01:17:30I'm picking him up.
01:17:54Come on.
01:18:10I told you we'd come back and get you, scumbag.
01:18:13Get in.
01:18:24Get in.
01:18:35We've searched everywhere for the Excalibur, Mrs. Smith.
01:18:39It can't be found. Are you sure you...
01:18:42I know what I saw.
01:18:44They were the men, and that was the car.
01:18:47I reported this two years ago, but nobody listened to me.
01:18:50When I saw their picture on TV, I knew I'd better get in touch with you again.
01:18:54I see.
01:18:59Can I go home now?
01:19:01Oh, yeah, sure. Sure.
01:19:05Thank you very much.
01:19:07We'll be in touch.
01:19:11There's no evidence to corroborate her testimony.
01:19:14We can't locate the girl. I think she's fantasizing.
01:19:18She identified him from the photos.
01:19:21It means nothing.
01:19:30Oh, yes. I still remember what they looked like.
01:19:33You recognize Mr. Buono as one of the men you saw that night,
01:19:36even though it's been almost three years since the killing?
01:19:39I do.
01:19:43You were at the window?
01:19:45That's right, sir.
01:19:47Miss Atkins, are you sure that you weren't outside?
01:19:50Closer to the car?
01:19:52I was at the window.
01:19:54Now, we're going to go outside at the same spot you said they were, all right?
01:20:00All right.
01:20:01Now, would you please take your place at the window just the way you were that night?
01:20:18Miss Atkins?
01:20:23Miss the spot?
01:20:25Just about.
01:20:28Are you telling me she saw two men she could recognize from that window at night?
01:20:34I can hardly see her. It's so dark.
01:20:37And how could she see over all that shrubbery?
01:20:39The shrubbery's grown. It's been three years.
01:20:42There's no way that woman saw what they looked like.
01:20:45You expect a jury to believe that? It's ridiculous.
01:20:48They won't believe anything unless you give them a chance.
01:20:50What's the matter? Afraid you'll lose this case?
01:20:53You don't have a case. That woman had no idea what she saw.
01:20:57Her story would be destroyed in cross-examination.
01:21:02We're going to have to throw this count out.
01:21:04You moron.
01:21:06What are you trying to do?
01:21:08We've got evidence that the fiber on that girl's wrist is what Buono uses for upholstery.
01:21:12Another girl had fluff on her eyelids. It also came from Angelo's shop.
01:21:16Bianchi's in L.A. right now, ready to testify.
01:21:19What the hell more do you want?
01:21:21I need hard evidence, Grogan.
01:21:23I need witnesses, Grogan. I'm a prosecutor.
01:21:26I have a duty to perform.
01:21:28I can't win a case without evidence.
01:21:31This case is not winnable.
01:21:43Yeah.
01:22:00You want to work out? With the weights.
01:22:03You've got to get outside sometime, Buono.
01:22:06The whole body gets rubbery.
01:22:08My whole body ain't going to be here long enough.
01:22:10Yeah? You got an uncle on the jury?
01:22:13Better than that.
01:22:20I got a cousin who's gone into his nutbag.
01:22:24You got a what?
01:22:25Cousin.
01:22:26Who's gone into what?
01:22:28His nutbag.
01:22:30The truth, sir, is I have absolutely no recollection of faking being hypnotized.
01:22:37I probably faked being a multiple personality, but...
01:22:41Are you saying you gave false testimony when we interviewed you in Washington?
01:22:46Well, sir, when I told the psychiatrist about committing those murders with Angelo,
01:22:52I'm not sure if I was telling the truth or not.
01:22:55I was probably lying when I confessed.
01:23:00I was probably not even there during the crimes.
01:23:04Or maybe I was, but not in Bellingham.
01:23:09Your Honor, it is the belief of the Los Angeles District Attorney's Office
01:23:33that the person, Kenneth Bianchi,
01:23:35whose continued credibility is essential to the successful prosecution
01:23:39of the murder charges against Mr. Angelo Buono,
01:23:43has lost such credibility.
01:23:46The murder charges now pending against Mr. Buono
01:23:49cannot be predicated on the evidence,
01:23:52and the case should be dismissed.
01:23:56I will take the matter under submission.
01:23:58Court is adjourned until Tuesday, July 21st.
01:24:02I will rule on the motion at that time.
01:24:19How are you, Sergeant?
01:24:21Getting by, Kenny.
01:24:22Glad for you, sir.
01:24:24Looks like you pulled it off.
01:24:26Sir?
01:24:27Well, they're betting 50-0-1 that there'll be no trial.
01:24:30Big odds, sir.
01:24:32Yeah, real big.
01:24:34Let me ask you something, Kenny.
01:24:36Why?
01:24:38I mean, Angelo put you away.
01:24:40He's helping to keep you here.
01:24:42So why did you do that for him?
01:24:44Him?
01:24:45No, not him, Sergeant.
01:24:48You know what it's like having a canine jacket strapped to your back in a place like this?
01:24:52Being pegged as an informer?
01:24:53Sergeant, that is certain death.
01:24:54Now, come on.
01:24:55Now, I've got a chance to be declared insane
01:24:57based on inconsistent statements,
01:24:59which means maybe I'll spend some time in a psychiatric hospital
01:25:02or maybe I'll just get out sooner or later.
01:25:05That's not the way it's gonna happen, Kenny.
01:25:07None of it.
01:25:08You see, your plea bargain is only good if you testify honestly against Angelo.
01:25:13I did.
01:25:15Judge George thinks you broke your promise.
01:25:18So you know what's gonna happen to you?
01:25:20You're gonna go back to Washington.
01:25:22You're gonna serve your time in Walla Walla,
01:25:24the toughest prison in this country.
01:25:27Now, Angelo might go free again because of you,
01:25:30but you're never gonna get out of there.
01:25:33Never.
01:25:38We're going home.
01:25:40The party is over. We're going home.
01:25:43While Mr. Angelo Buono walks the streets?
01:25:46You put Bianchi away. You should be celebrating Dan.
01:25:49Angelo Buono, a free man.
01:25:51Why don't we just wait until the judge rules?
01:25:54Explain it to her, will you?
01:25:56Look, the judge always grants the wishes of the prosecution.
01:26:01Hey, judge, I want to dismiss the case.
01:26:04They figure it makes no sense to order the prosecution to proceed on a case it says it can't win.
01:26:11Can you believe it?
01:26:12I can believe it.
01:26:13Let's believe it outside.
01:26:15Shall I get the car or call an ambulance for you guys?
01:26:18Buono's gonna be walking the streets again?
01:26:21Hey, Logan!
01:26:25No!
01:26:31Can you believe it?
01:26:34He's gonna be walking the streets again.
01:26:41All the years in this lousy case.
01:26:48Down the drain.
01:26:51You seated?
01:26:55This court finds that dismissal of murder charges pending against defendant Angelo Buono
01:27:02is not in the furtherance of justice.
01:27:04And the district attorney's motion to dismiss those charges is hereby denied.
01:27:10All right.
01:27:11If the county will not prosecute,
01:27:14the office of the state attorney general has agreed to do so.
01:27:18There will be a trial.
01:27:48No one from the press. That was in 50 yards, you understand?
01:28:18Ladies and gentlemen of the jury,
01:28:37of the ten young women who were murdered,
01:28:40these two were the youngest.
01:28:42Marty Jones was 12 years old.
01:28:46Lisa Corbin, she was 14.
01:28:51Both of them were schoolgirls.
01:28:54Both their bodies were dumped on this trash heap below us here on November 13th, 1977.
01:29:00They were raped.
01:29:02They were sodomized.
01:29:05They were tortured and they were strangled, just like all the others.
01:29:09You can see how obscure this place is.
01:29:13Only someone who has lived in this area for a long time would know about it
01:29:19or could find it quickly, especially in the dark.
01:29:25Please keep your attention on the helicopter above us.
01:29:28You'll be turning your spotlight on certain locations for us
01:29:32and each instant you'll be told what that location is.
01:29:36That's where Filippo Sama's body was discovered on November 28th, 1977.
01:29:45Filippo was 22.
01:29:48Below us and to the north is the Golden State Freeway off-ramp
01:29:52where Shirley Haven's body was discovered on November 9th, 1977.
01:29:58That's not too far from where Mr. Bono grew up.
01:30:01On November 19th, 1977, Margaret Wilson was killed and dumped on that site.
01:30:15Margaret Wilson was 20.
01:30:21She was an art student.
01:30:25She was an art student.
01:30:48All rise.
01:30:51The Honorable Judge Ronald George presiding.
01:30:54Be seated.
01:30:59Bring in the jury.
01:31:15The foreman of the jury has signaled that the jury has reached a verdict
01:31:19and I would inquire if that is the case, Mr. Delano.
01:31:22Yes, it is, Your Honor.
01:31:24Please hand the form to the bailiff.
01:31:37The clerk will now read the verdict.
01:31:41We the jury, having found the defendant guilty of murder in the first degree,
01:31:46we hereby determine the penalty to be life imprisonment without parole.
01:31:59Quietly.
01:32:09Congratulations.
01:32:11Let's go celebrate, gentlemen. Let's go celebrate.
01:32:16I gotta call J.D.
01:32:47Hello?
01:32:48Mary. Mary, hi, kiddo.
01:32:50Dad?
01:32:51I wanted to tell you that they, uh...
01:32:54they convicted the guy.
01:32:55Yeah?
01:32:56Yeah, so now we, uh...
01:32:58we got the both of them.
01:33:00Really?
01:33:01I, um...
01:33:06I just wanted, uh...
01:33:09I wanted your kids to know that.
01:33:11I still love you, Daddy.
01:33:16I love you, too.
01:33:46I love you, too.
01:34:16I love you, too.
01:34:46I love you, too.
