Helter Skelter Page #3

---

been trying to tell us.

That's a message they want me

to get out in my album.

Now I got to find another way

to get it started.

Are we still getting Bobby

out of jail, Charlie?

We, re not talking

about Bobby right now, are we?

It's all right.

He's only giving her what she wants.

Tex, meet me in the saloon after dinner.

It's time.

Time for you to take little Blackie by the

hand, show him how to kill some piggies.

I want you to go on up

to where Terry Melcher used to live.

They got movie stars there now.

Kill everybody in the house.

Gruesome as you can.

Sadie, Linda, Katie.

you're gonna go with Tex,

and do what he tells you to do, okay?

Now is the time.

Helter Skelter.

I want you to wrap these in a rag.

If we get stopped...

...you throw them out.

But we, re just going

on a creepy crawl, right?

Oh, definitely.

Here.

Hold up.

I want you to leave a sign, okay?

You girls know what to write.

Something witchy.

- I want you home for your birthday.

- Maybe Tuesday.

- Yeah.

- If I can get the visa.

Why? What do you have

planned for my birthday?

- Some...

- you'll see.

- Not until you...

- Okay, be like that. Don't tell me, huh?

- I enrolled you in a class.

- In what?

Expectant fathers class.

- Oh, please. Don't make me do it.

- No, you'll love it.

What are you doing tonight?

Gibby and Voytek are still here.

And Jay just came by, so...

Oh, my competition.

Never.

You have no competition.

You know that.

I know this.

I know this, baby.

You lonely over there?

Lonely for you.

That's all.

Really?

- That's all?

- I only want to play with you.

And my boy.

- Call me tomorrow?

- Of course.

I love you.

I love you too.

- Bye.

- Bye.

Is Roman on his way?

As soon as he gets his visa.

Probably Tuesday.

I have to get some sleep.

I'm flying up to my mom's

for her birthday in the morning.

I can't tell you how sorry

I am to miss that.

I know. It's much more important for you to

sleep late and test the pool temperature.

Hey, Bill, how's life

as a caretaker treating you?

Oh, yeah, really glamorous.

- I can only stay a minute.

- Want a drink?

Oh, yeah, sure.

So, you ever see Sharon Tate

out by the pool?

Can't stand this heat.

It's supposed to break Monday.

Roman will miss it. Lucky guy.

Do you think Roman knows

how lucky he is?

He knows we, re both lucky.

We were almost lucky once, weren't we?

- I wonder...

- Jay, don't. Just don't.

I'm just being theoretical.

When we were together in London...

...ever wondered what would've happened

if I'd never come back to L.A. When I did?

What would have happened

if you had never met Roman?

What would happen if fish could fly?

Listen to me.

I must be drunk.

You better not drive home tonight.

Get down.

Something wrong with the gate?

Oh, no! don't hurt me!

Bam, we got you.

Go around the side.

See if there's an open door or window.

There's nothing open.

Go back and wait by the car.

Linda!

Give me your knife.

Listen for sounds.

I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry.

- Sadie, make it stop.

- It's too late.

It's too late.

I lost my knife.

What the hell you think you're doing?

You don't do anything unless I tell you to.

Move over.

My head is killing me. That son of a b*tch

wouldn't let go of my hair.

I thought my hand was gonna break

every time I hit bone with that damn knife.

Well?

There was a lot of panic.

It was real messy. There were bodies

lying all over the place...

...but everyone's dead.

Do you have any remorse?

Go to bed and don't say anything

to the others.

There was blood everywhere!

Then they found...

They could still be...

They killed her. She's pregnant.

They killed her!

They killed her. They didn't care.

I came to work...

Everybody's dead.

- Freeze! don't move!

- What? What? What's the matter?

- The trick is room in the gang.

- It's nothing we can't solve.

Listen to me, okay?

- You don't understand.

- Please, please.

- It's like Swiss cheese.

- We can work it out.

- Hey, listen.

- I think it's ridiculous.

Dolphins talking to each other

like humans?

The audience is going to laugh

at us, okay? It's stupid.

Yes?

Oh, hi, Bill. How are you?

Which house?

What are you...?

No! No! No!

Come on! The news is on in the trailer!

Shockwaves in the Southland as the five

victims in the Bel Air slayings are identified.

They are Steven Earl Parent, 18...

... who was visiting the caretaker

on the property. Voytek Frykowski, 32.

Abigail Folger,

the Folger Coffee heiress, 25.

Jay Sebring, 35,

famous hairstylist to the stars...

... and actress Sharon Tate,

star of the movie Valley of the Dolls...

... wife of film director Roman Polanski,

and eight months pregnant with their child.

Polanski was not in the house,

as he's in London working on a film.

Detectives on the scene commented

that the murders appear to be ritualistic.

Details are sketchy, but the caretaker,

William Garretson...

... has been taken into custody.

I just didn't expect it. That's all.

I mean...

God, I feel sick.

I don't know what to do.

You have to trust the soul.

But how can this be right?

It's what we have to do.

But... But, I mean,

you didn't even know them.

How could you do that?

Doesn't it bother you?

We know what they stand for.

They, re the man.

They, re the authority, right?

A part of the system that kills millions,

and they never get their hands dirty.

But they were young.

They were like us.

And she was...

She was pregnant.

Look, death is just an illusion anyway.

It's just a thought. It has no meaning.

It's something you're doing for them...

...not to them.

- You really believe that?

- It's true.

It's ugly, but it's true.

I think it's beautiful.

Well, I can never do it.

You don't know that.

You don't know what you can do...

...what anybody can do.

You know what I feel?

What?

Hungry.

- That's all.

- Me too.

you'll learn.

The more you do it,

the more you like it.

don't cry for them.

We released them.

We made them come to now.

Listen to what Charlie says:

,, There's no good, no evil.

Nothing is wrong. Nothing is right.,,

Charlie wouldn't take us this far

to let us fail. There's a plan.

You just can't know what it is yet.

No sense makes sense.

Remember that.

I'm Thomas Noguchi...

...Los Angeles County coroner.

This is August 9, 1969.

Sharon Marie Polanski,

female Caucasian, 26 years...

...5,3,,, 135 pounds...

...blond hair, hazel eyes.

Subject's supine, arms parallel,

legs extended.

- Hey, Jerry. You caught the Tate case?

- Oh, yeah.

I've got my pockets filled up

with this one.

What brings sheriffs to town?

Look, just so you know, last month...

...we found a stiff out in Malibu,

stabbed to death.

Like yours, there was something written

on the wall in blood:,, Political piggy.,,

We thought it was tied with the

Black Panthers, but a few days later...

...we took in a hippie kid

driving the vic's car. Found the knife...

...blood on the clothes. Prints all match.
