Dating Game Killer Page #6

---

He's a murderer now.

We still

have to prove that.

We're building our case.

So when do you arrest him?

Soon as we have

enough evidence.

Well, what else do you need?

He was just arrested again

in February

for raping and almost killing

another girl.

Joanne:
a 15-year-old.

She positively identified

Rodney alcala as the maniac

who viciously raped her

and beat her unconscious.

Hamell:
it was earlier

this year,

the day before Valentine's day.

[ Thunderclap ]

Rodney:
she's a runaway, mam.

She was hitchhiking.

Her name is Wendy.

It started to rain,

and she said she didn't have

anyplace to stay.

-I feel bad for her.

-These crazy girls

are always getting you

into trouble, Rodrigo.

Haven't you learned

your lesson?

Maybe you could talk her into

calling her parents.

You are too kindhearted,

mijo.

Tomorrow, you take her back

to her own home,

whether she wants to go

or not. Entiendes?

S, mam.

[ Rain falling ]

My mom's gonna fix you up

a bed on the sofa.

Did you take

all these pictures?

So artistic. I love 'em.

You know,

lots of my friends say

I should be a model.

I have no problem

being naked.

One reason I ran away

from home

is my parents are such prudes.

They got so mad

when me and my girlfriend

streaked the homecoming game.

Got the crowd cheering.

Hey, you really think

i can be in "playboy"?

Oh, for sure.

But you know hef's rules.

You gotta make it with him

and blow movie stars

in the grotto.

-Ah! [ giggles ]

-[ Laughs ]

Wouldn't that make

your folks flip out?

Ugh! forget them.

They've never even

seen "playboy."

They're total Bible thumpers,

so against everything --

blacks, disco, democrats.

You'd totally freak 'em out.

[ Camera shutter clicks ]

me?

Yeah. they hate [bleep].

They say

it's against god's law.

But don't worry.

I love gay guys.

Maybe we'll do

a few more close-ups,

and I'll come in

for some sexy action shots.

Maybe you can put

your shirt back on,

and I'll shoot you

taking it off.

Hey, that's groovy.

Maybe we can make

the shirt wet,

like Jackie bisset

in that movie with Nick nolte.

Oh, yeah, "the deep."

That'd be groovy.

She's so beautiful.

-That's good. Great.

-[ Giggles ]

[ Camera shutter clicking ]

That's good. Yeah.

All right,

now take it off.

[ Camera shutter clicks ]

[ Grunts ]

[ Gasping ]

[ Humming softly ]

[ Voice breaks ] once,

i had to bury a young boy.

Are you okay, sweetheart?

[ Breathing shakily ]

I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.

I didn't mean

to make you mad.

I don't even remember

what I said.

I know I say things

sometimes,

without thinking.

My best girlfriend,

she gets so mad at me

when I run my mouth.

-[ Grunts ]

I know how disrespectful

that is.

Please, will you untie me?

Please?

You've been so nice to me.

Can we just start all over,

please?

It's Valentine's day,

you know?

Babe, I gotta go

to the little boy's room.

[ Singsongy ]

happy Valentine's day.

[ Blows kiss ]

Don't be long.

[ Motorcycles approaching ]

[ Car engine starts ]

help!

Help! somebody help me!

No! Stop!

Stop! stop! He raped me!

[ Tires screech ]

He raped me and tried

to kill me! Please!

-Please?

-hey!

[ Tires peal ]

[ Engine starts ]

[ Tires peal ]

[ Breathing heavily ]

You had him!

Why didn't you keep him?

Why was he out of jail...

[ Voice breaks ] and on

that beach to murder my child?

Alcala is -- is --

he's waiting for a trial date.

His mother mortgaged her house

to make his bail.

How much?

$10,000.

[ Gasps ]

[ Exhales sharply ]

$10,000.

That's what that judge

thinks that my baby is worth,

$10,000?

[ Crying ]

Alcala was working

at the "L.A. times"

when you questioned him

in the hillside stranglings?

"The most trusted newspaper

in Los Angeles

employs a rapist murderer."

How's that for a headline?

[ Indistinct conversations ]

For Christ's sakes.

Does no one do

background checks?

[ Clears throat ]

uh, they -- they said

you were in charge

of that murder,

the -- the little girl?

Tammy Jensen?

I may have seen

that man taking her

up to where we found

her body, maybe.

You...you what?

You saw them together?

You said,

"where we found the body."

-You're one of the rangers?

-Yes, sir.

My name's Lori Carter.

Uh, i-i thought i-i-i saw

the body before,

the -- the little girl's body,

i mean, 'cause I...

'Cause I sort of saw it there

several days before.

[ Exhales sharply ]

You saw...

You saw [ coughs ]

You saw Tammy Jensen's body

before July 2nd?

When? what day?

-No, i-i-i can't remember.

-Come on, try.

I was scared. I...

I didn't even know

what it was.

It -- it didn't look human.

The coyotes, they had -- they'd

chewed off most of the face.

And -- and...

And the smell...

Ugh. god!

I-i still smell it

every day I drive past her.

It stinks so bad.

That's why I had

to come here today.

I just -- I wanted it to stop.

All right. Okay. Okay.

I want you to take a deep

breath, Ms. Carter. All right?

Hamell:

is that the man you saw?

I...could be, I guess.

Sort of looks like him.

Thank you, Lori.

We can arrest him now.

Ryan:
looks like he cut

his hair.

Likely making a run

for Mexico.

Uh-huh.

Hey, when do we get

that warrant?

D.a. said

by the end of the day.

But we may not be able

to wait for it.

You're a big help.

Why are you taking

all the stuff?

Babe, I told you already.

I'm just putting it all

in storage

until I see whether or not

this Dallas job works out.

Why not

keep everything here?

Look, I love my mom,

but I can't go on

living with her.

Okay? I...

We need a change.

We gotta get away

from here.

Sure would like to know

what's in those boxes.

He gets down the street,

we'll have him pulled over.

I guarantee he'll give us

probable cause.

Here we go.

[ Engine starts ]

[ Static crackles ]

he's leaving now.

We're cutting down 23rd

in case he turns down that way.

Man:
copy that. Standing by.

[ Static crackles ]

Here he comes. He's turning left

on Springfield.

[ Static crackles ]

Ryan:
Stay with him.

He goes west, Nelson and bogden

will pick him up at 17th.

[ Static crackles ]

[ Horn honking, tires screech ]

[Bleep] damn it! We're blocked.

We've lost him!

Nelson, bogden,

did you see him?

-That's a negative.

-Damn it!

Uh, try to catch him

on the on-ramp.

[ Static crackles ]

he'll be heading south.

[ Static crackles ]

[ Door rattles ]

[ Grunts ]

-Open the gate, Mrs. alcala.

-Where is he?

Why are you harassing my son?

He's wanted for the murder

of Tammy Jensen.

What? that little girl?

Just like he beat and raped

Rosie Hoffman 11 years ago.

No. no! My --

my son is a good boy!

Where is he, Mrs. alcala?

You need to stop lying for him.

I don't know. He said Texas.

You lie to us,

you're going to jail

as well as an accessory

to murder!

I'm not lying!

That's what he said!

But he's coming back.

He always comes back.

-Come on.

-And he'll clear all of this up.

-Come on!

-You'll see! You'll see!

Hamell:

after alcala skipped town,
