The whole world
is dying of panicky fright.
Police!
Open up!
Police ma'am!
Hello?
Open up!
Come on, open up!
Hello?
Mrs. Olsen, are you there?
We'll have to force the door
if she refuses
or is unable to open up.
Nancy Olsen!
Come on, open up.
Oh, my God!
How awful!
Look!
It's him.
Catch him.
On 3 June 1985, at
approximately at 5:58 am,
Richard Beacon, a 7 year old,
Long Island boy,
shot and killed his father
in a heated family argument.
Felicia Beacon,
the boy's mother,
astonishingly claims
she then saw her son
take off in flight
from the patio balcony.
What really happened
the night of June 3?
Who was Richie Beacon
and where is he now?
POISON:
In 44 I was sent
Fontenal to prison
on several counts of theft.
- Name?
- Broom.
- First?
- John.
- Age?
- 31.
Date of birth?
October 29, 1913.
- Orphan?
- Yes
Where?
First in ...
Prison was not new to me.
I'd lived in them all my life.
In submitting to prison life,
embracing it,
I could reject the world
that had rejected me.
... their sexual behavior,
which includes
relationships with men,
Is that correctt?
What?
The State obliges us to enquire
whether or not you engaged in ...
the practice of err...
Have you practiced ...?
Yes
Whatever.
That word there ...
Is it written as two words?
HOMOSEXUAL:
We are gathered here today in the
shadow cast by the penal preserve of Baton
For the trusty and loyal inmates,
Harold von Roven and John Broom
who hereby pledge one and other
in the eyes of their comrades
and fellows in misery...
one and other's body and soul.
The ring on each man's finger
will prove to them
and to those in their company
that each is betrothed to the other
for life, and love
until death
separate them.
Place the rings on each finger,
pledge to truth and faith
above and beyond
God, the oppressor.
Ever since he was a child,
Thomas Graves had been
hungry for knowledge,
hungry to discover all of
the secrets of the universe.
Science,
man's sacred quest for truth,
was his first and only love.
Years of hard work and research
led him to the mysteries
of the sex drive.
And its potential for
the betterment of mankind.
At the age of 32
Dr. Thomas Graves was called upon
to present his theories
to experts in his field.
And thus, as I have demonstrated,
I have determined that once extracted,
the application of the hormonal
equivalent of the sexual instinct
to practical neurology,
will not only provoke
a dramatic reassessment
of geriatric research
but will end paralysis
as we know it today.
Thank you.
This is ridiculous!
I ask you, are we to take
this charade seriously?
I demand that this man be re-examined
on grounds of medical incompetence.
I agree!
That's it!
That's it!
Putrefactic condensation is sustained,
allowing molecular coagulation
by producing
biomagnetic gas.
I did it.
I did it!
Dr. Graves!
Yes, I'm Dr. Graves.
And I've just captured
the sex drive.
Why, that's marvellous!
It means that the molecular
coagulation theory holds true.
"Molecular Coagulation?
How do you know that?
Who are you?
- I'm Dr. Olsen.
- Who?
Dr. Olsen.
Nancy Olsen.
From Boston.
Dr. Strick recommended
me to you
I, I didn't expect a woman.
I didn't expect you to.
I've been following
your work for years, doctor.
Ever since evaluations of
molecular sustenstions of
hormonal conductivity appeared
in the Science Journal at M.I.T.
Your discovery of white cellular
clotting predominance in neurasthenia
completely changed my understanding
of conditional bioflavonoid
neuropathology.
I wrote my doctoral thesis on your
molecular coagulation theory
and now
I am hormonal specialist.
I've come with hopes
of assisting you.
- Well .. How do you do?
- Very well, doctor, thank you.
And now I really should leave
you to report your success.
Feel free to contact me
call me when you need me.
And congratulations, doctor.
You're making medical history.
The quiet residential community
of Glenville was stunned
Fred Beacon.
It gave everybody the creeps.
All the neighbors were afraid
to come out of their door.
It was absolutely
the most dreadful thing ...
I have experienced
in my entire lifetime.
It was terrible.
Do you know?
I heard every shot.
I heard every
single shot.
You think you know people
but you really don't, know them...
and you live next door to them.
Until something like this happens.
Richie Beacon's disappearance
provoked one of the toughest
Missing Persons' investigations
in Long Island's history.
... It lasted at least a year.
His face is still
on milk cartons.
What did they find?
Nothing.
Felicia Beacon became the center
Glenville controversy
following her extraordinary account
of her son's disappearance.
I guess I just didn't ...
I definitely didn't
know what he was.
I mean ... I punished him, and his
father hit him, just like any kid.
But I definitely didn't realize.
Realize what?
That he was a gift from God.
By the time I was 16 years old,
I was notorious as a kid
with a terrific
knack for theft.
Foster homes would
no longer take me
and I was sent to the boys
reformatory at Baton.
There, in the counterfeit world
of men among men,
I foundmy true family.
At Baton I was astounded
by the discovery that
each man had a man
for his own.
And that the world of force
and manly beauty
loved in that way,
within itself
from link to link.
It was from then on,
when they merged in shadow
that each group
offered me a puzzle.
The stiff, silent males
possessed the violence of love
and my life's study,
would be to find it.
16 years had passed
when the maximum security
prison at Fontenal
brought me face to face
with my deliverance:
Jack Bolton
Age 28
175 pounds,
75 inches
formerly, a captive at Baton.
Come on, p*ssy.
You know what?
You make me wanna puke.
Want to suck it, b*tch?
You want to suck it,
you want to crawl for it ...
Yes you do ...
Is it Jack Bolton?
Cannon!
Here?
Since today.
John, a friend of mine, man.
Jack Bolton
Johnny Broom.
- Baton?
- Yes
I knew.
You swallow it by the mouthful,
Don't you, birdy?
Jissom by the jug, right??
You want it real bad,
don't you, punk?
Don't you, slug?
Who's a pretty boy?
Hey you!
Shine.
Annoying Mr. Ass?
Not me, chief.
That's a good boy,
that's a smart little fag.
Think fast, f*ggot.
You want it real bad, doncha?
Doncha?
You want me to shoot it up
your hole? Is that it, huh?
Go on, marry him.
You know you love him.
What? Me, marry him?
Richie was
a complicated boy.
On the one hand, very intelligent.
But at the same time ...
withdrawn.
It was really strange though
the amount of animosity
that he would induce
in the other children
out of nowhere.
Like, there was this kid called Brad.
He started hitting him
because of what he believed
Said was really a prince
and his dad was a king.
The weird thing was that Richie
