Helter Skelter Page #5

May I?

Hollywood people,

they bring all this on themselves.

It's all sex and drugs with them.

What do they expect?

Personally, I think it's these

weird movies Polanski makes.

You see the one where Mia Farrow

gets knocked up by the devil?

In the meantime,

Roman Polanski is so grief-stricken...

...that he cannot speak,

and is near collapse.

Get this:
Polanski was night-clubbing

days later with airline stewardesses.

This is the kind of movie trash

we, re dealing with.

It was Polish secret police.

They were after Roman

because he defected from Poland.

Sources say there had been

a wild party here...

... at Tate's house attended by some of the

biggest freaks and weirdoes in Hollywood.

I have to speak out...

...against this multitude of slanders

that you reporters write.

For a selfish reason, you write...

...unbearable for me...

...terrible things about my wife.

All of you know how beautiful she was.

But only a few of you know

how good she was.

Sharon...

...did not use dope.

While she was pregnant...

...she wouldn't even have

a glass of wine.

There was no marriage trouble.

There were no orgies.

The last few years I spent with her...

...were the only time of true happiness

in my life.

- Sir!

- Sir!

When the revolution starts, we'll go

over the Santa Susanna Mountains...

...like a flock of birds

and cut across the Mojave.

When blackie is slaughtering whitey...

...we'll go clear to Death Valley without

having to cross any highways see?

What about the pit?

We'll have to search for the entrance.

I'll be able to start seeing things...

...start tuning things in,

once we get out there.

It's in Devil's Canyon, I know that...

...but it might be underwater.

Wait, wait, wait. Water in the desert?

I'll take that by you again.

Devil's Hole in Devil's Canyon:

Underwater.

That's where I think

the entrance is, Joey.

Bottomless pit through Devil's Hole.

I'm with you, Chuck.

Do I look like a,, Chuck,, to you?

A Chuck?

Chuck.

,, Hiya, Chuck!

Is that what I look like to you?

No.

No, you don't.

Died on the cross for you...

...of all things.

Didn't do you much good, did it?

By the end of the week, we should have

everything moved to Devil's Canyon.

- We'll make a trail right to Devil's Hole.

- Charlie, Linda's gone.

So is her stuff.

- Where's the kid?

- Here.

That's okay, then.

Kid's here, so she'll come here.

And when she's here,

we'll make her come to now.

Oh, man.

All right, move it, ladies. Let's go!

Move it!

Okay. You are all under arrest.

Here's our warrant!

It is for possession of stolen vehicles,

dune buggies and firearms.

You have the right to remain silent.

Anything you say can and will be used

against you in a court of law.

The evidence for violations

of section 487.3...

...of the California penal code,

is deemed insufficient.

In addition...

...the search warrant

for the Spahn Ranch...

...was executed two days

prior to the raid...

...and is therefore not legally in force.

Dismissed.

They got all the guns.

- Took all the cars, all the buggies.

- Our credit cards and IDs. Cleaned us out.

don't matter. We'll steal more.

Bruce, how we doing in Barker?

I got almost everything.

Half a dozen dune buggies and the big bus.

Then we, re late for the desert.

Let's be ready.

- Hello?

- Gypsy, it's Linda.

- Where are you?

- I found my ex-husband.

- We're in New Mexico.

- I can't believe you left Tanya.

I had to. I couldn't stay there

another minute. I mean...

Charlie wouldn't hurt a child, right?

Look, man, we got raided.

All the kids were taken in

by social services.

You see how spiritualism

scares these people?

So they send their machines

to dig holes to confuse us...

...to make it harder for us to find the pit.

Well, we'll burn them down

wherever we find them.

- Get up!

- Let's go!

- Move!

- Get down! Everybody down!

- Out, out, out!

- Come on, let's go. Move it!

What are you doing?

I got nothing on me.

- Let's go! Come on! Everybody outside!

- Get out! Move it!

Let's go! Let's go! Everybody outside!

Everybody out!

Pig!

Please, get us out of here.

These people are crazy.

They, re gonna kill us.

Get the hell out of there!

Let's go! Get out!

Oh, man.

Hey, remind me never

to try that again, man.

Who the hell are you?

Charlie Manson.

Good. you're under arrest for arson.

You did the right thing, Kitty.

Look, I don't understand

what's happening.

I just wanted to get away from Charlie.

I didn't do anything wrong.

We're investigating the murder

of Gary Hinman.

Officer Pursell here told us

you're Bobby Beau Soleil's girlfriend.

We're holding BeauSoleil for the murder

of Hinman. You know that, right?

- Kitty, were you there that day?

- No.

We think you were. We think you helped

your boyfriend off Hinman.

No.

I...

...swear.

We know there were other people involved.

You help us, you help yourself.

- Look, all I know is what I heard.

- Spit it out, Kitty.

I heard that...

...Charlie sent Bobby and Sadie

to go see Hinman...

...to get some money from him.

There was, like, a fight, and he got killed.

And who's Sadie?

Sadie Mae Glutz.

She's one of Charlie's girls.

And then, later on,

Sadie told me something about...

...how she and some other girls got in

a fight with a guy who pulled her hair...

...and she stabbed him, like,

three or four times in the leg.

- So Hinman wouldn't give up the money?

- No.

He was going through changes

about losing his ear...

...and then Bobby stabbed him.

He didn't wanna die, though.

That's for sure.

We were on our way out...

...and we heard him gurgling and moaning,

so Bobby went back in...

...and stabbed him again until he died.

You wrote something on the wall?

Yeah, and Bobby put a paw print there, too,

so it'd look like the Black Panthers did it.

Your real name is Susan Atkins, right?

Used to be. Charlie gave me

the name Sadie, so that's who I am.

Okey-dokey.

Well...

...Sadie, Susan, whatever.

Tell you what. We're gonna book you

on suspicion of the murder of Gary Hinman.

Far out.

- Writing look familiar?

- Yeah.

You went to the Tate detectives?

The day after.

They said they had this figured

for drugs, that was that.

Unbelievable.

Hey, no offense, but you guys

waited two months...

...to see if we had any similar murders.

What, L.A.P.D. don't need sheriffs?

- Quit it. There's enough politics on this thing.

- So we got...

...Kitty what, s-her-face implicating Manson

in the Hinman murder.

Sadie, implicating herself.

Three separate murder scenes.

- Knives at all three.

- Savage stabbing, crazy stabbing.

- Writing at all three.

- In the victims, blood, similar messages.

One more thing.

Sadie told Kitty that she got into a fight

with a man who pulled her hair.

She stabbed him

three or four times in the leg.

- So?

- So Gary Hinman was not stabbed in the legs.

But Voytek Frykowski was.

We're investigating the LaBianca murders

in L.A., which you've heard about.
