they're giving away tickets

to knott's Berry farm.

-Really? that's very awesome.

-Far out.

[ Camera shutter clicks ]

[ Girls laugh ]

Woman:
Becky?

Becky! who's this?

Um, he's taking

our picture.

-You girls should know better.

-Please don't tell our moms.

We're sorry, joanne.

-What time is it?

-Oh, you know, after 3:00.

Oh, gosh. I gotta go.

It's my first day on the job.

-Okay.

-oh, wanna take my bike?

Uh, no, I'm okay. Thanks.

No, you don't wanna be late.

Take the bike.

Okay. cool. Far out.

[ Girls laughing ]

Come quick! Get on!

Don't worry! Just go!

Hey, thanks.

-Bye!

-bye!

[ Telephone rings ]

Hello?

Oh, hi. How's my girl?

What do you mean?

Wait, she's not there?

I don't understand.

No. she's fine.

She was very excited.

I can't imagine she'd miss it.

Okay. well, um...

I'll call Becky

and -- and I'll ask my boys.

But this really isn't

like Tammy.

Okay, thank you.

I'll keep you posted.

Bye-bye.

I gotta go

we got a story that'll

save the day

evacuation style,

evacuation style

my heart's been boiling

and I can feel the sun

more than you, I gotta move

far away

far away

far away

Carol:
but I'm telling you,

she's not a runaway.

But -- but Tammy wouldn't

do that.

If she could, she'd call!

-Yeah.

-officer, hi.

Tammy is

a responsible young lady,

and now she's missing.

[ Front door opens, closes ]

[ Cartoon playing on TV ]

[ Panting ]

she's not at the park.

But Tim is still out

looking for her.

Michael! turn off the TV!

[ TV turns off ]

God, I'm so sorry.

I'm so sorry, sweetie.

I'm sorry I yelled at you.

Okay?

I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

Mommy is just really

upset right now.

You can go watch TV

in the other room, okay?

I hate to bring this up again,

but there was something creepy

about that guy taking

the girls' pictures.

Oh, god.

As soon as I came over,

he took off.

-He seemed really nice.

-Becky!

You and Tammy know better than

to talk to strangers.

Oh, for god's sake.

[ Crying ] it's gonna be dark.

It's gonna be dark.

It's gonna be dark.

[ Wind whistling ]

[ Door opens ]

[ Door closes ]

-[ Speaks Spanish ]

-la cocina.

Hola, mam.

How did the job interview go

at knott's Berry farm?

It was fine. They love me.

It was great.

But there are no openings.

But they said

they would call me

as soon as something

pops up.

Rodrigo, did you spill

something on your shirt?

-Let me see.

-It's nada, mam.

I can take care of myself.

[ Crunching, coyotes howling

and growling ]

[ Shower running ]

[ Carol crying ]

Oh! please.

[ Speaks indistinctly ]

Please. [ sobs ]

[ Seabirds calling ]

No. his nose wasn't

that big.

It was sorta normal.

But his hair,

it was a lot longer.

We sent Tammy's picture

in a press bulletin

to all the local papers

and TV stations.

Um, might be smart

to have flyers made,

you can post around the area.

-I can help with that.

So she's officially a mi--

[ Inhales sharply ]

[ Indistinct conversations,

telephone ringing ]

A missing person now?

Ma'am, you should know

that the media may contact you

about some similarities between

your daughter's disappearance

and some recent child

abduction murders up north.

Now, at this point,

we don't see any connection.

But we want to prepare you

for any...Media speculation.

That's him!

Joanne, come here. Look.

Joanne:
that's him.

[ Wind gusting ]

[ Engine turns off ]

[ Wind whistling ]

Lange:
let's meet our first

three eligible bachelors.

Bachelor number one is

a much in demand

professional photographer.

So at the age of 13,

he snuck into the dark room

and started developing.

Please welcome Rodney alcala!

[ Cheers and applause ]

Shauna:
number one,

what is the best time

for a first date,

day or night?

Rodney:

nighttime, of course.

It's the best time

for anything.

And why is that, number one?

Well, choose me, shauna,

and you'll find out.

[ Laughter ]

I'll be damned.

Ted!

Come here.

Look at this.

-Bachelor number...

-"The dating game."

You are not gonna

believe this,

but bachelor number one,

this guy's got a history

of child abduction and...

Oh, hey, little girl.

...and the son of a b*tch

is a match

for a composite

in the Tammy Jensen case.

Let's say you're

a healthy snack...

This sicko has got a record

dating back 10 years.

You gotta be kidding me.

How does a monster like this

get out of his cage?

[ Siren wailing in distance ]

Looking for detective Ryan.

James hamell.

Call me Jim.

Man, you made it down

from Hollywood

in record time, detective.

Once you said Rodney alcala,

i blared that siren all the way.

Ten years of tracking

that prick.

How did you connect him

to your missing child?

You know, I put together

a photographic lineup

for the witnesses

who saw a long-haired man

taking photos of Tammy Jensen

and a friend at the beach.

Everyone points

to the photo of alcala.

You know, if this turns out

to be alcala,

there's no happy ending.

We've popped this scumbag

so many times,

but he keeps getting

back out.

He knows how to work

the system.

[ Laughs ]

and now he's on TV.

-Unbelievable.

-yeah.

"Dating game" no less.

Yeah, recruiting lambs

for the wolf.

Only in America.

Look, I really appreciate

your help on this, detective.

The clock's ticking

on our missing girl.

Anything besides

the beach I.D.?

Not really.

I want to bring him in.

But since you know alcala

better than anyone,

I thought I'd talk

to you first.

Yeah. you don't want

to spook this guy.

After he attacked

Rosie Hoffman,

he slipped through the cracks,

disappeared for 3 years.

-That was in '68, right?

-Yeah. I was a beat cop then.

I jumped on his trail

as soon as I made detective.

Where'd you finally

bust him?

You'll never guess.

[ Camera whirring ]

Rodney and campers: with

the moon shining all around

Hamell:

alcala fled to New York,

enrolling at N.Y.U.

Under the alias of John burger.

That summer in New Hampshire,

he became a counselor

at a camp for girls.

Until the moon grooves in

he said you better kiss me

or get out and swim

Mungo Jerry:
if her daddy is

rich, take her out for a meal

-Girl:
that was so good.

-Girl:
Yeah. It's been so hot.

-I agree.

-It's been really hot lately.

The whole summer!

[ Camera shutter clicks ]

When the sun goes down

-Smile.

- you can make it

make it good

and really fine

Gotcha.

[ Girls laugh ]

Hey, why aren't you two campers

in my photography class?

Oh, we have swim lessons

this period.

We're getting our

lifeguard certifications.

You are? That's great.

Good for you.

Hey, listen.

Practice your mouth-to-mouth

resuscitation really hard

because someday you might

have to save my life.

-Oh. gag.

-Gross.

-It's not that ew.

-Yeah.

-It's pretty ew.

-It is.

Come on. Let's take a picture.

Take a picture with me.

Ready? one, two, three.

[ Camera shutter clicks ]

Yeah. [ laughs ]

A souvenir, my pretties.

Um...

And don't forget to take

my class next session.

-Okay?
