Dear Mr. Gacy Page #7

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

all those boys under your house

and someone else must have done it?

I want to try to find

that one statement.

I mean, who do you think did it,

John, if it wasn't you?

Do you have any idea

how weak you are?

I could just tell you

to f*** off right now...

and you'd have no one.

What would you do without me?

I don't know, John.

Where would you be without me?

You know, if I was a bad guy,

I'd tell the police

what you do with your brother,

they would take him away

and you would go to jail.

Yeah, but you wouldn't

do that to me, right? Hmm?

I didn't say I would do it.

Just remember who I am.

I know who you are.

John, we're buddies, right?

That's right.

That's right.

So...

tell me, did you

have a smooth flight?

Yeah yeah, it was fine.

There was no problems.

And did you get that painting

that I sent you and the travel money?

I did. I did. Thank you for that, John.

I really appreciate it.

Of course.

I've got your back, pal.

Yeah.

So, John,

you said you had some things

to tell me when I got here.

You know, some things

you wanted to get off your chest.

Yeah.

Do for me and I'll do for you.

John, tell me about that kid

you admitted to killing.

Okay? The one that you picked up

at the bus stop and had sex with.

Oh.

I woke up and he was standing

over me with a knife.

He was gonna rob

and kill me.

I didn't have any choice.

Yeah, well, if it was self-defense, John,

why didn't you just call the police?

Well, the son of a b*tch,

he shouldn't have attacked me.

But he wasn't attacking you.

Right? I mean, wasn't he

just making your breakfast?

What the f*** are you

talking about?

You don't stand over a man

with a knife when he's sleeping.

So what happened

after you stabbed him?

Nothing happened.

Let me tell you something, Jason:

You can always tell

when a man is dead

because he shits all over himself.

The little cocksucker

stunk up the place

so I buried him

in the crawl space.

How did it feel to kill that kid?

Did you feel powerful?

Jason, Jason,

you have no idea

the power you feel.

- How'd I feel?

- Yeah.

I felt fine.

I slept fine.

I am fine, aren't I?

Thattaboy.

Let me tell you something.

Do you have any idea

how long it would take the guards

to get here if you screamed?

Maybe one or two minutes.

I could kill you right now

if I wanted to.

You know that, don't you?

Huh? You know that?

Yeah, John.

But I got other plans

in mind for you.

You see that table there? Look.

That's where I'm gonna do you.

And after I'm done, I'm gonna wrap

my hands around this throat

and I'm gonna squeeze

until it breaks.

John, John, John, why are you

talking to me like this, huh?

"John, John, why are

you talking to me like this, huh?"

You know something, Jason?

In person you are

really a disappointment.

Oh, you know what you are?

You're a little p*ssy boy, huh?

A little p*ssy boy.

A little

p*ssy boy.

Here you go.

- It's black. Where's the cream?

- Well, I forgot.

Check out monitor 3.

It's kissy time.

That's f***ing sick.

Leave the guy alone.

He's gonna die in a few days.

Least we can do is let the poor f***

get his rocks off one more time.

- Doesn't mean I have to watch.

- Then don't watch.

You b*tch.

You like getting f***ed, don't you?

Like when you're hustling and selling

your sweet little ass on the street?

Well, now you're gonna get

what you've been asking for.

What the f*** are you doing, John?

Shut the f*** up!

God!

All right, that's enough.

This is over!

Who the f*** are you

to tell me it's over?

I'm not who you think I am,

John, all right?

Guards, open this f***ing door!

You know how many little p*ssy boys

like you died for this cock?

Huh?

Get on your f***ing knees.

F*** you.

Now open your mouth.

Open your f***ing mouth.

- I said open your f***ing mouth!

- God.

You f***ing piece of sh*t.

It hurts to let the demon in, doesn't it?

- But you feel good.

- You mother... I'll f***ing kill you.

- Get off him, boy.

- I'll f***ing kill you.

- Let him go.

- You f***ing little c*nt.

Who's the clown now, John?

You f***ing piece of sh*t.

- You'll be there with me!

- F*** you.

I told you we're alike.

We're exactly alike!

Jason?

It's okay.

Oh, Jason.

This is Jason. Leave a message.

Jason, it's me.

Pick up.

What's wrong?

I don't understand.

They're gonna kill me in a couple of days.

Why are you abandoning me?

What is it?

What did I do?

Was it the little fight we had?

If it is, l... I'm sorry.

I'm... I'm really sorry.

John?

You little cocksucking jackoff.

Do you have any idea

who you are f***ing with?

I should have choked the life out of you

when I had your throat in my hands.

You know what I'm gonna do, Jason?

I'm gonna send your letters to the cops

and the FBI.

I'm even gonna send

a copy to your parents;

let the whole world know what

a sick perverted cocksucker you are.

You want to send

those letters to my family,

then the police, John?

Well, go ahead.

Because everybody up here knows that

I was just studying you for school.

You were an experiment, John.

I was playing you from the start

and you were too stupid

to figure it out.

What do you have to say now, John?

Tonight I'm standing outside

Illinois's Stateville Penitentiary

where John Wayne Gacy will be executed

for the 33 murders

he was convicted of 14 years ago.

Three drugs will be administered

in 30-second to one-minute intervals:

Sodium Pentothal,

an anesthetic;

pancuronium bromide

to paralyze the respiratory system;

and potassium chloride

to stop the heart.

If all goes as planned,

Gacy will be pronounced dead

within 10 to 15 minutes.

Jason?

Jason, come on.

- Jason?

- Just go away.

...from the scene.

And some of the families of Gacy's victims

are present for the execution.

One family issued a statement saying,

"Nothing will ever

bring our son back,

but after 16 years,

justice is finally being served."

Meanwhile, protesters...

We've just received confirmation

that John Wayne Gacy

succumbed to lethal injection

and was pronounced dead

at 12:
58 AM,

nearly an hour after

his scheduled execution time.

Cheers from the crowd were heard

when his death was announced

while others continued

their protest in silence.

So I have read

your term paper.

And?

And it's very good.

Thank you.

So do you really think you were able

to get inside his mind?

Uh...

as close as anyone can get.

Well, listen, obviously you've been talking

to a lot of people about this

because there is a lot of buzz

on campus about your project.

I know some of the other students

have been talking about your letters

and even some of the faculty are

aware of what you've been doing.

I was wondering,

would you be willing

to put on a small presentation

for the department?

Nothing too formal...

just talk to us about what you learned

and how you developed

this rather unusual methodology.

While this sociopath was

trying to humanize himself to me,
