Dear Mr. Gacy Page #4

Synopsis: 1993. Overachieving college student Jason Moss, fascinated by serial crime, decides to write his criminology class term paper on John Wayne Gacy, who is on death row and scheduled to be executed in six months time. Jason's criminology professor, Mr. Harris, will only allow Jason to write his paper on Gacy if Jason can come up with a fresh angle, as he himself believes the topic of serial killers is already overexposed. After writing Gacy a nondescript letter and receiving a questionnaire from Gacy in return, Jason believes the fresh angle would be truly to get inside Gacy's head, specifically to learn what makes him tick, by presenting himself in subsequent correspondence to Gacy as Gacy's "type", i.e. a vulnerable young man from a dysfunctional family and thus who is possibly at risk. Despite the advice that he needs to watch out for cunning Gacy, Jason is certain he can outsmart the serial criminal at his own game. Things take an unexpected turn for Jason when he starts receiving tel

You're there to provide a service.

It's nothing personal.

But make sure you

get paid upfront.

There's a lot of f***ed-up people

out there in the world

that are gonna want

to take advantage of you,

so always watch your back.

Excuse me?

Well, look what

the cat dragged in.

Meow.

Um, I was just wondering if l...

Oh, and he's shy too.

What's your name, kitty cat?

It's Ja... Jack.

Cute.

So?

So how do you want it?

No, actually, I was wondering

if I could pay you

just to talk to me.

No, see, I'm a student.

I'm trying to write a paper...

- Oh, hell no.

- Wait wait wait, hey hey.

- Wait wait.

- You a pig?

No no, I'm not.

I just want to ask you some questions.

Okay?

I have money. I can pay you.

Look.

Come on, "Ja... Jack."

I know the perfect place.

So is this... is this where you take

most of your customers?

Hey, this is my special friend.

Get him a drink.

So tell... tell me about

your approach.

Like what kind of language

do you use?

You know, the terms you use

for describing your various services.

Drink up.

Ahem.

Like what do guys

usually ask for?

Most guys just want a blow job

or they just want to be the top man.

Sorry, what? "The top man"?

You really don't get out much,

do you, kid?

That's where they get

to do me from behind.

That costs the most.

I get it all though... everything from

guys paying to suck my dick

to me f***ing them up the ass.

Anyone ever try to hurt you?

I was sucking some guy off

when he put a knife to my throat.

I tried to finish him off and get out of there,

but he f***ing cut me anyway.

Was he trying to kill you?

This is f***ing boring me, all right?

Finish your drink.

I want you to meet a friend of mine.

I want you to meet a friend of mine.

This is my special friend.

Trust me. Go ahead.

Trust me.

Jason.

Oh God.

Hey.

You okay?

You didn't show up at class. You haven't

missed class since third grade.

Yeah, I was just feeling a little tired.

Hey, come here.

Give me your hand.

Come here, sit down.

You know, Jason,

I don't think

this Gacy thing is healthy.

You know... oh God.

Listen, if you're here to lecture me,

I'm just not in the mood for it.

No, I don't want to lecture you.

I'm concerned about you, Jason.

You haven't been the same

since you started writing to this guy.

I just don't have the strength

for this right now. Can we do it later?

- No, you keep putting me off.

- Yeah.

I want to know what's going on with you.

This isn't fair.

I just... I'm feeling... I'm feeling like

I might throw up.

I'm feeling really sick, so...

maybe if... if you could just go?

If you could just go,

we'll talk about it later, okay?

- Fine.

- Thank you.

- I hope you feel better.

- Okay, thanks.

- Hello?

- You have a collect call

from inmate John Gacy from

the Menard Correctional Center.

Will you accept the charges?

- Yes yes, I accept the call.

- Thank you.

- Hey, pal.

- Hey.

So how'd it go last night?

Uh, not good, John.

What happened?

Well, I picked this guy up

on the street, right?

And we went to the club,

we had a drink.

He offered me $200

to be his top man.

But when I stood up,

I realized that

that f***er had drugged me.

Oh sh*t.

So what'd you do then?

I ran.

That f*** stole my wallet too.

That p*ssy cock motherf***er.

You want me to have him

taken care of?

What do you mean?

I know a lot of people out there, Jason.

They'll find this cocksucker

and they'll cut his dick off.

I'm very protective

of the people that I'm close to.

No no, John,

don't worry about it.

So why weren't you more careful

about who you picked up?

I told you you've got

to learn to read people.

You've got to figure them out

before they figure you out.

You've always got to be

five steps ahead of everyone,

so that you're the one

who maintains the control.

I watch people very closely when

they don't know I'm watching them.

I try to figure out

where they're going,

what they're thinking,

what's really going on in their mind.

By observing their behavior,

you can learn what their weaknesses are,

their vulnerabilities, their fears.

And once you get into their minds,

you've got the power.

- To do what?

- Anything you want.

Well, John, thank God

I've got you to talk to about these things.

I'm learning from the best.

We're a lot more alike than you think.

I just taught you.

Now it's your turn to teach me.

What I want to learn all about

is that little brother of yours.

Hey!

Hey.

- What are you doing?

- Nothing nothing.

- What are you doing?

- I just got out of class.

Cool.

Listen, I'm sorry about the other day.

I was just... I was feeling out of it.

I'm much better now though.

Good.

What are you doing?

Do you want to go hang out?

Yeah, I have to study,

but maybe you could come with me

and we could get

a movie or something after?

Yeah yeah, that sounds good.

- Cool.

- Okay, come on.

Hey.

So if opposite charges attract

and two like charges

repel each other,

what is the nature

of their mutual interactive force?

What do I look like to you,

an encyclopedia?

- Hmm?

- Jeez, somebody's cranky.

Get out of here.

Don't. Get out of here.

We're in a library, okay?

What the hell are these?

Would you give me... give 'em!

They're for my paper.

- For your paper?

- Yes, for my... for my paper.

I posed like this when I first sent Gacy

a letter so he'd write me back.

I can't take any more

of this Gacy sh*t, Jason.

- It's gone too far.

- Would you keep your voice down, please?

- What is the big deal?

- What is the big deal?

My boyfriend is posing seductively

for a serial killer in prison

and you don't think it's a big deal?

People already think you're gay, Jason.

I don't give a sh*t

what people think.

- Are you gay?

- Am I gay?

You know what, Alyssa?

You can go to hell.

F***.

- Hey.

- Hey.

You wanted to borrow this, right?

- Oh yeah. Thanks.

- Yeah, no problem.

So l...

Gacy was asking about you.

- Gacy?

- Yeah.

- Why me?

- I don't know. I don't know.

I'm still trying to figure it out.

- But well, he wants to talk to you.

- I'm not talking to a killer.

I know.

Look, I think I can get around it

if he just gets a letter from you.

I'm not writing him a letter either.

I'll write the letter.

Okay? All you have to do is

just copy it in your handwriting.

Why do I have to get

dragged into your sh*t?

Come on, Alex man.

My plan is working here, okay?

I'm getting him to open up and give me

a lot of really good information.

I don't want to lose him now.

Alex, please, man, just...

just this one time, okay?

Come on.

Please?

Alex, just this once, okay?

Fine.

Yeah?

Thank you.

Dear John, I am

so f***ing pissed off right now.

My father beat my ass again last night.

I f***ing hate him.

I'm so sick of feeling this way.

I can't trust anyone.

I'm not sure I even want

to live anymore.

What would you do

if someone beat your ass?

I've thought many times

about killing myself,
