Dating Game Killer Page #3

-uh...yeah. sure.

-Sure.

-good luck.

Mr. burger,

you're late for

your photography class.

I had to head back

to my cabin.

I had one too many

sloppy Joes last night.

-Kids are waiting for you.

-Yes, sir. I'm on my way.

No more taking pictures of kids

who are not in your class.

-You understand me?

-Yes, sir.

Bring your friends

and we'll all go into town

[ Telephone rings ]

-Hello?

-Rodney:
hola, mamacita.

Ay, dios mo.

Rodrigo, are you okay?

[ Voice breaking ] homesick.

I miss you, mam.

I want to come home.

Lo siento, mijo.

You must not call so much.

You can't come home

until the police find the man

who hurt that little girl.

My big bully boss hates me.

He's jealous because

everyone else loves me.

Today, he yelled at me.

He reminded me of pap.

[ Speaks Spanish ]

We do not say that man's name.

Are those idiot cops

still hassling you?

Detective hamell say

that I know where you are

and I don't tell him.

He could charge me

as an accessory or something.

[ Speaks Spanish ]

be brave, mi amo.

Te amo, mamacita.

[ Inhales sharply ]

[ Birds chirping ]

[ Radio playing indistinctly ]

-Good morning!

-Woman:
Morning.

What do you got

for our camp today?

Oh, just getting

your mail sorted out.

Look! look!

Can I have one of

those sweet lips, please?

-Oh, me too, please!

-Sure.

10 cents. Thank you.

[ Girls laugh ]

[ Chuckles ] you girls.

So what do we have?

Not as big a bag

as last week.

-How is Marjorie doing?

-Look at these creeps.

Man:
still in a lot of pain.

Her back is acting up.

-No way.

-Well, give her my best.

[ Groans ] I will.

Thanks, grace.

Come on, girls.

We need to get back.

We don't want to be late

for snack time.

Um, Mr. Lee, take a look.

Doesn't that look like

Mr. burger?

Pretty creepy, huh?

Oh, dear god.

Hamell:
as soon as I got

the call from the FBI,

I was on the next plane.

Three years of chasing

that bastard,

we could finally extradite

his ass back to California

and get justice for Rosie.

Or so I thought.

And that's what we use now.

This guy, George eastman,

came up with this

in the 1800s, forever ago.

Rodney alcala?

[ Siren wails ]

-L.a.p.d. detective hamell.

[ Girls scream ]

Drop! drop it! Down.

Hands behind your back.

Suck up

that fresh air, alcala.

My name is not alcala!

I'm John burger!

[ Handcuffs clicking ]

-a kids camp? Really?

-What kind of sicko are you?

-You got the wrong man.

I know what you did

to that little girl.

I didn't do anything.

I'll be back! You'll see!

All right,

another Tammy Jensen sighting,

lady in long beach said

her neighbor had our girl.

The kid turned out to be

the man's granddaughter.

-Any update on alcala?

-Mm.

Two more teenage girls

i.D'd the man in our composite.

The day Tammy disappeared,

he took pictures of them, too.

Both girls say

he was super nice.

Yep. I'm not surprised.

Alcala was a snake charmer.

You moving in?

Uh, someone said I could

pay rent on this desk.

[ Opens drawer,

liquor bottle clinks ]

If this is solid that turns out

to be a lead on our guy,

the captain has cleared me

to work the case with you.

Are you obsessed

with alcala or what?

You got family, detective?

I'm working on it.

Gotta get her to say yes.

I was there.

I was there.

I saw what that perv did

firsthand.

And I promised Rosie

and myself

that I won't stop

until he's stopped.

He's not going to destroy

any more families.

So even after you

nailed him, I mean, why --

why'd the d.A. Cut a deal,

you know?

Should've put alcala away

for life.

Rosie Hoffman's family

split the country.

You know, war, riots,

protests,

Kennedys,

king assassinations,

and this maniac

attacks their kid?

I mean, they didn't feel they

were safe in America anymore.

I hated their decision,

but I totally understood it.

So even after he's caught,

they wouldn't come back.

Without a victim,

alcala was given

an indeterminate sentence

of 1 to 10 years.

-Indeterminate.

-yeah.

Determined by what?

How well a prisoner behaves

while in prison.

It was before

the law changed back,

back when

California's peaceniks

thought that, you know,

perverts could be "cured."

Not a blemish on your prison

record, Mr. alcala.

Your psychiatrist notes that

you are considerably improved

and recommends early release.

Ma'am, I deeply regret

the pain and suffering

i caused.

During my time here,

i have taken full advantage

of the motivational therapy

and self-realization classes.

I've learned from my mistakes.

What drove you to commit

such a heinous crime

on an 8-year-old child?

Honestly, ma'am, at the time,

my judgment was impaired

by drugs.

I am so sorry

that I hurt that little girl.

I'm ashamed, humiliated.

They declared him

rehabilitated

after just a couple years.

He was released

in August of '74.

But then, 2 months later,

he abducted a 13-year-old

at a bus stop.

Her name was Sophie.

[ Shift gears ]

Alcala asked if she needed

a ride to school,

and she said yes.

Alcala took her to

the cliffs,

forced her to smoke

a joint with him.

-He rape her too?

-Mnh-mnh.

Park rangers

smelled the dope,

saw them just in time.

Alcala claimed that Sophie

had given him the joint.

Son of a b*tch.

She denied it,

said he forced her there.

The ranger didn't know

who to believe

and arrested the both of them.

-Jesus.

Wait. but alcala did

go back to prison, right?

Kidnapping, dope,

assault on a minor, you think?

The scum bucket

was convicted

only of parole violations

and supplying a minor

with drugs.

-Unbelievable.

-he got 2 1/2 years.

Another jailhouse shrink

ruled him "re-reformed,"

and the nitwit parole board

bought it again.

Rodney:
mam!

[ Speaks Spanish ]

Hamell:
they released him

in June of '77.

[ Conversing in Spanish ]

Read it.

It's all in there.

My guess is, that's just

the tip of the iceberg.

You think he's capable

of murder?

What do you think

i think, kid?

[ Liquid sloshing ]

[ Grunts ]

Ms. alcala.

Detective Ryan.

Detective hamell.

Ms. alcala.

Rodney is not here.

Hamell:
where is he,

Ms. alcala?

Maybe out of town working,

you know?

Why do you need

to speak to him?

A little girl

has gone missing.

Every time a kid runs away

from home,

you question my Rodney.

He make one mistake.

Yeah, more than one, ma'am.

Your son is

a convicted sex felon.

He said he was sorry

and paid for it

with 5 years of his life.

The doctor said

he was rehabilitated.

If Rodrigo did anything wrong,

it was only because of what his

no-good father did to him.

Yeah. may we come in?

Do you have a warrant?

Sorry to bother you, ma'am.

Tell your son

to give us a call.

Hey, tell me, was Rodney

in town last Wednesday?

That was the day

that little girl disappeared,

and Rodney was nowhere near

the beach.

He had a job interview

at knott's Berry farm.

I'm sorry.

[ Front door closes ]

What did alcala's parole officer

say he's driving now?

Red beetle. Why?

I'll be damned.
