The Grim Sleeper Page #5

know that? Because I've talked to them.

I understand that

this is about people.

So, are we going to work together

to help these people or not?

Get out of my building.

Techs tipped the line yet?

We have to release the number

by 4, If we want a news to make.

I want a list of phone numbers of

the families of the "Sleeper" victims.

I thought you don't wanna call him

The Grim Sleeper.

Just give me the list.

Have you been to your multicultural

sensitivity training this year?

Thanks for coming

with me, Margette.

I was watching the news and

LAPD were talking about catching him.

If they didn't catch him all these

time, I don't expect they will now.

That's the stop, right there, that's

the bus stop where bastard picked me up.

Turn right there.

- Up here?

What you are waiting for?

- I'm turning.

You drive like an old lady.

- And you are bossy like an old lady.

Why do you think that he stopped killing

for 13 years, you think he was in prison?

He was not in prison. You think I

would get into the car with a criminal?

He was a working man, family man.

Maybe that's why he took a break,

he could not get away from the kids.

My stomach is growling.

I need some food.

Some fried cat fish. That'd be good.

- I could go for a salad.

A salad?

- What's wrong with a salad?

You eat like an old lady.

Hello? - Hey, it's Melayna.

Something interesting has come up.

Now I know why you're so

hot to have me come with.

You think 'cause I'm black,

I can protect you...

from whatever this folks

are ready ti dish out.

Alright, here we go.

- Not 'we'. You are the one...

who kept it a secret, you

have to answer them.

I'm not going in there.

- If I remember correctly,

you asked to be

on this task force.

You know why I asked? 'cause I

have nieces live in this city.

And two of them live close to

Western. You're on your own, man.

I'd wish you come. You have a lot

in common with those families.

They haven't been raped by nobody. I

I belong with those he killed.

Maybe we'll have us a

meeting one day.

Thank you for coming, Detective.

Please, have a seat.

This is the Inquisition?

- You already know hoe I feel.

But these other families have some opinions

they'd like to express as well. Have a seat.

I didn't think he'd show.

I'm surprised he had a nerve to

show after the way he done us.

No, this meeting is

for the victims' families only.

Without press. You have to

leave. - I invited her here.

Well, you're not the only one here. I'm sure

this other families don't want a reporter...

We are happy for her to stay. - At least

we know we can trust her to be straight.

We don't need to be treated like

children, we got our own minds, you know?

That's right! - We have the right to know

why you've kept this secret for so long!

You were listening?

- I'll buy you a beer.

You sure can take a beating.

Two hours you let them yell

at you. - It was eye-opening.

They have any right to be

frustrated. - Yes, they do.

Thank you for reminding them that

I had nothing to do with the way...

how department ran things back in the '80s.

Is it true that the city

council voted and they...

are gonna offer a reward

and put the billboards?

They had emergency

meeting this morning.

So, my article did some good then.

I like that you said

you want to work with them.

It is important for them to

be a part of this.

Maybe all this 'hand holding'

makes you feel...

warm and fuzzy, but it

complicates it for me.

Finding the killer, that's the most important

thing. - Then we're all on the same side.

Not the most likable man I met.

I don't know, he's growing on

me. I think he's trying his best.

I won't hold my breath.

If there is a connection between the victims,

I'll coordinate us all to comparing notes.

You have any new angle,

cover potential?

Maybe. The City Council is about to offer

the biggest reward in L. A. history...

for info on the "Sleeper".

There's gonna be... six billboards...

"You should have stayed

out of it, b*tch". Lovely.

Where was sent from?

He sent a picture of his jiggly-wiggly, too.

Somebody call the police!

Do you think that's the "Sleeper"? - I'll

test for fingerprints and DNA, we'll see.

Do you have security here? - Just Kevin

in the lobby and parking attendant.

I'll talk with him.

I'm not worried about him showing up here,

but more showing up in her apartment.

I'm not listed,

he won't find me.

Still, can you provide her

some protection?

Not unless we confirm that

is actual killer.

But you might wanna stay close to

home, when you're not working.

As in, stay away of South L. A.

You would love it, wouldn't you?

For me stay away from your case.

What are my chances of that?

If this is Margette Lincoln's description

back in '87., we got to age it up...

before we release it. Can

you find who can do that?

Have you finished cross referencing

those penal registration with names of...

every black male, who ended up in

the prison system in the late '80s?

I'm working on a list of something

that is a waste of time.

No, that 13 year gap is key.

I mean the Pinto. Witnesses saw

something in shapes of all kinds of cars.

Green Sedan, Plymouth, ten Datsun.

Yes, and three said orange Pinto.

Stay with the Pinto.

Bill, I'm not done here. Why would he

drive his own car to do his dirty work?

Smart killer, the kind that doesn't

get caught for decades,

is not going take targets

in his own car.

When you finish working this

list, put together another.

Of all black male, accused

of grand theft auto.

Now you see the light.

We got the results back.

I can't tell you is...

the threat you got in

mail from him or not.

There is no DNA, no prints.

- Just another random nut job.

Every rock I turn over

has got a sicko under.

Just not the sicko I'm looking for.

I can not find one clear evidence.

Maybe these billboards will

help with some new leads.

Listen everyone!

It's on now!

...in the case of The Grim Sleeper.

Mr. councilman.

Today in South Central we're

putting a billboard announcing the reward.

Victims photos are on display.

- Why is the billboard there?

Most of the murders happened in

South Central. We need more witnesses.

This shows that the city will do

what ever it takes, to get this guy.

You do care.

- That's your imagination.

This is great.

This is really something.

James and I agree,

we need to do more.

Yes, we would like to

pass on some flyers.

I can design the flyers, but we have to

figure out how to pay for zillion copies.

Det. Sims will let you use

his coper in the office.

That grunt means 'yes'.

Thank you.

We looked and didn't find any

connection between the girls.

It wasn't likely. Those first murders

happened before your sister was even born.

Why is he babysitting us? Does

he afraid we'll break this machine?

No, he thinks that Pelisek would sniff

around and put her nose...

where it doesn't belong.

- Det. Sims, I'm offended.

Bill, wanna come and listening something?
