"Sam:" "Previouslyonaquarius..." "I'm Charlie manson." "How do you know my name?" "Get my little girl back." "Sam:" "If I'm gonna find thisgirl," "Ineedacop inthat world." "I report to you?" "Yep." "Charlie gets the girls." "So, we need a girl." "IthinkIcan draft avolunteer." "Charlie's my guy, right?" "If she is looking for Charlie, she's gotta go through me." "(Both whispering)" "Do something." "Relax." "(Crying out in pain)" "Ken, I've gotten nine phone calls from manson." "I need two grand for my demo." "Ken:" "Half." "Yougetmy girlout ofhere , yougettheotherhalf ." "Walt?" "Hi, dad." "Sam:" "I thought you were incountry." "I was." "The only way you ever get sent stateside is if one of your parents is dying." "You sent the letter, didn't you?" "Saying you were, what?" "Sick?" "Dying?" "Walt?" "They'llcomeforhim ." "Youhaveno idea whatyou'vedone." "Hands high, jerk-off." "Cut?" "You see, me and jeanie come over, after you guys split up, and, you know, but jeanie get tired." "She's not much of a drinker." "(Stammering) But me and opal, and... and after a while, you know, I'm coming over alone." "Jeanie know?" "You crazy?" "No." "Thought maybe you guys are swingers now or something." "Jeez, what is wrong with you?" "Look, I'm sorry it happened." "Okay?" "I'm really, really sorry." "How long?" "Five..." "Months." "Look, you want me to end it..." "Cut, I don't give a crap." "She was a lousy wife and a mother, but she can drink and she can ball, and since those are the only two hobbies you ever showed any interest in," "I figure you guys are made for each other." "I just want to know where my son is." "I haven't seen him." "But he was here." "After you said he was back and you were all worried, I asked her." "She said he was here for about a day." "She scraped together all the money she could and gave it to him." "Where'd he go?" "I don't know." "She know?" "Probably." "Good luck getting it out of her." "So..." "We good?" "Yeah, we're good." "And we're done." "I don't work with liars." "It's not a moral thing, it's a safety issue." "You understand." "Grace:" "Eddie ever tell you about the time he hit me?" "Fist." "Four stitches." "Drunk off his ass." "Crying the next day, begging me to forgive him." "Wife-beater." "That's your partner who's too good for you." "This..." "I made a mistake." "Manson:" "You said yes, is what you did." "You came back to yes, and you came back to me." "And now you're afraid." "Want to know how you can stop being afraid?" "I want my daughter." "She's here." "You're both here." "I only came to bring the money." "Don't..." "Don't touch me, okay?" "Just tell me where Emma is." "I told you..." "She's here." "But she's not gonna go with you." "And I'm not gonna tell her to." "When you came here with that pocketful of paper, you knew that." "Man, it hurts to even look at you right now." "So unhappy being who you are." "See, I was like that once." "But I got on top of it." "And now, I'm never afraid." "Because I always say yes." "And if you want to be somebody else so bad, why not be me?" "But give me that other 1,000 bucks you owe me first." "You got a choice about everything in this life, except that." "(Country rock music playing on radio)" "(Girls whooping)" "(Engine starts)" "(Horn honking) -(Screaming and yelling)" "Whoo!" "Well, detective bibb saw you shove the other girl to the sidewalk and kick her several times." "Detective bibb need to clean those nasty glasses." "Okay, I need to pat you down." "Just outside your clothes, so please stand still for me." "(Grunting)" "You like that?" "Stop!" "Rubbing up on me?" "Got ya." "Officer Tully, would you make some more coffee?" "The pot's empty." "I was going to." "Oh, thank you very much." "Your highness." "(Sam playing guitar)" "(Phone ringing)" "Yeah?" "Charmain:" "Call for you." "Brucetamminy." "Sayshe'saparoleofficer." "Uh, yeah." "Thanks, charmain." "Bruce:" "Hey, hodiak." "Bruce." "YougetthecaseofHarper Isentyou?" "Oh, yeah." "Know what else I got?" "(Shattering)" "Somebody put in a call, the next day, he's fired." "That karn guy?" "Probably, but I'll worry about that after you find manson for me." "Sure, uh, okay." "Any idea how?" "I was thinking the biker." "Kovic?" "Mmm-hmm." "Uh, well, he said manson was at the beach." "Right." "Uh, but even if we had any idea where "at the beach" actually was on a map..." "Well, kovic said that anybody looking for Charlie as to go through him, so let's go through him." "Well, he said that before I jacked his knee, which he might know was on purpose." "Either way, I'm not his favorite person right now." "I'm not a lot of people's favorite person." "You're just shy is all." "I'm what?" "Dispatcher:" "Central, come in." "Hold on a second." "Whatistheeta on mewagonto  scene7999sunset?" "Standby." "Mewagonen routeto sunsetandhighland." "Hey, 7999 sunset, that's..." "That's the coffee hut." "That's art gladner." "Sal, you were here when that call came in." "Who took it?" "Uh, whalen and cutler were leaving when I came in." "Some guy owned a diner or something, stabbed to death?" "I said, "bring me a Danish back,"" "but you know they won't." "Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa." "Whoa." "What?" "Where you going?" "I've been working that place for months." "Art gladner was my end game, I'm going." "Well, who's going?" "Shafe the drug tout, or shafe the cop who's gonna blow his cover?" "Maybe you should try a costume of some kind." "Mmm-hmm." "Like ghost or sexy nurse." "Well, 'cause I'm sure you love it when your work goes belly-up." "Of course I do." "You're the only one that doesn't." "Look, I will go make sure cut doesn't step all over your case." "You find manson." "Don't be an ultra-maroon." "Mmm." "(Siren blaring)" "Okay, brother." "See you." "You too." "Good morning." "Good morning, detective." "I guess he didn't exactly sneak up on our dead guy." "Sir, that was officer faulkner." "When we responded, we found the door locked." "We saw the guy face down, and faulkner thought he saw him move and he just..." "I never criticize anyone for being enthusiastic." "Sir." "I show you my new second?" "Smith 10 snub." "What?" "It's like a doll gun." "What do you want it to be, a howitzer?" "It's a backup." "It's very cute." "Hey, Sam, look at this." "What are you gonna do with that thing?" "Pistol whip a midget?" "(Clears throat)" "Wait." "Jimmy, come back." "I gotta check your vagina for sand." "Did you get a look at that door?" "It was locked before one of the nosepicks broke it down." "Okay?" "So did you get a look at the hardware?" "It has to be locked from the inside or the outside." "Are you sure the suspect's not still on the premises?" "I confess." "Gladner still got his keys on him?" "They're on his belt chain." "All right." "So we're looking for someone with keys to the place." "Why are you here?" "There's a drug case in place around gladner." "A lot of time invested, contacts made." "Just trying to keep it all intact." "Oh, your undercover boyfriend?" "Ah, boyfriend... we're trying to take it slow, you know?" "I don't know from any of that." "What I do know is, I found the guy." "Oh, yeah, witness had him running from the scene." "He's out back in the cruiser if you want to point and laugh." "(Siren blaring in distance)" "(Indistinct chattering over police radio)" "Hey, hey!" "Hey, man, there's my man!" "You remember me, right?" "No?" "All right, you..." "You probably remember that you don't like me, but" "I didn't do this, man." "Why would I do that?" "Come on, man!" "Knock it off." "Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry." "Help me out." "(Engine turns over)" "Please, man, please." "You got to help me out." "Please." "I didn't do that." "Man, please." "Roy:" "Damn narc out there trying to use our colors." "Venice pd, they, uh, busted brother Jerry a couple months back." "They take all of his property, and they put it into a little plastic bag for "storage."" "His ID card and his patch goes into his property bag." "And when he makes bail, the man gives him back everything but those two things, and they lip-service it." "Tell him it got lost." "Except that this guy here..." "Bri." "Bri, right." "Bri here sees a guy pushing dope down in Santa Monica a couple days ago repping as our brother Jerry." "Definitely said he was a Satan, but I know you guys don't travel alone." "And I know you wouldn't go five kilos." "Hmm." "You see him, you keep him around and you call us, and we'll do to him what you did to my knee." "Again, I'm sorry about that." "No, it's okay." "You get a reset with all the positives..." "Even though I can't ball, like, at all." "I can't put any weight on my knee, not even somebody else's." "So, you know what?" "Next time you and I are going downhill, you first." "(Chuckles)" "Well, if I'm getting a reset, uh, I got a favor to ask." "When you jacked up your knee, you remember we were heading out to try and find your friend Charlie?" "Well, she was wondering if maybe we could try again." "Sugar clam." "(Chuckles)" "Sadie:" "Right on the corner ofoakandLyon." "Theheartof ashbury." "God, that was such a good house." "Tell her who lived right down the street." "Janis." "Joplin?" "Yeah." "We could hear her practicing." "Look, cherry." "Almost as beautiful as you." "You should leave." "Make an excuse, your monthlies, I don't know." "(Sighs)" "Some rough terrain here, I think I need a baby-doll crutch." "Hey, sugar pie..." "All right, Charlie's waiting." "(Chuckles) Hey." "Mmm." "(Laughing)" "(Giggles)" "Charlie, um..." "I thought I saw my dad leave." "This morning, in his car?" "Did he talk to you?" "Did he say he wanted to talk to me?" "What did he say?" "Well, I wouldn't tell you this if I didn't know you could hear it for what it is, but he asked me how much I wanted." "For you." "Like you were a used car or a horse or a cow." "If no one owns something, it can't ever be for sale." "(Chuckles) Look who's walking again." "Sugar clam here says she knows you, Charlie." "Been pulling everyone's coat looking for you." "Huh." "You want to find me so bad, girl, you found me." "And I can't say I don't want to, and maybe I will, but" "I don't know you at all." "I don't blame you for not remembering me." "I wouldn't remember me either." "But you have to remember that place." "In the canyon at the edge of the creek, where the road sloped up." "It wasn't winter, but it was cold." "There was a little fire in the fireplace, and we all huddled around in a circle and closed our eyes, and then..." "(Howling)" "(Howling)" "(Howling)" "(All howling)" "(Laughing)" "Well, all right." "That's great." "You kids want some candy?" "Don't know." "Depends, I guess." "Manson:" "Depends on what?" "Chunky chocolate, Taffy bits, marshmallows?" "You... you don't know if you like that stuff?" "I know I do." "Course you do." "'Cause you never got enough." "Mommy and daddy used it like a weapon." "Took it away when you were bad." "(Chuckles)" "But we're all good children here." "We get all the candy we want." "I want some now." "What... what about you?" "Yeah, we want some, too." "Good." "Moving on." "Hey." "Roy:" "She'll be right there." "Thought you said you couldn't put any weight on that knee." "I can't." "I'll take a little head, though." "Or maybe a lot. (Chuckles)" "I know Charlie, so I know how Charlie goes." "He goes through Roy, remember?" "Go have some candy." "Please." "All right, look, not only was I here once already today, Sam," "I don't know where you get off summoning me" "like somebody's housemaid." "You're gladner." "You're pushing it." "I'm the killer." "I come up on you when your back is turned, and I... whap, whap!" "Both the first and the second neck wound were fatal." "So after those, he probably went to his knees at some point." "Oh." "Okay." "Took the next five there." "One, two, three, four, five." "And then he's down." "And for the last two, he was flat on the ground." "(Chuckles)" "Oh, it's funny to you, too?" "Watching a man lose his mind?" "Time of death?" "Last night." "Mr. gladner had been dead about eight, 10 hours before he was found." "That's eight to 10 hours before vickery was seen" "running out of there." "And he came back." "High as a kite, dumb as a carp." "Ah, but the downward angles of the wound show that the killer was taller than gladner." "Vickery is not." "The killer's also a righty." "I've been to vickery's apartment," "I saw his crappy guitar." "Pick guard and the bass "e" string on the wrong side." "He's a lefty." "He is not the guy." "Okay, stop, stop, stop." "When you want to talk about this like cops and not these amateur theatricals, you let me know." "And you touch me again, I'm going to pour you out like a drink." "So, you and cut not partners anymore, huh?" "Good catch." "(Laughter)" "Manson:" "Thought maybe you got lost." "(Chuckles nervously) This pad is crazy." "It yours?" "Nah." "Older lady I met in frisco." "Devil worship's her trip at the moment." "(Chuckles)" "She gave me a standing invite to this place." "And so when we came down South, we just parked the bus here and joined the preachers, and the socialites, and the blood-drinkers." "I saw it, man." "Saw a guy chug some blood." "House is full of people just like that." "Come here to do what they don't want to be seen doing." "That the kind of gig you're into?" "I don't know." "This place is full of a lot of fear and shame." "I don't want that." "I want to stay feeling good, and I don't think good feelings stick around here." "But I guess we'll see, huh?" "Why, hello." "Oh." "Don't you both look good and worn out." "(Chuckles) How'd she do?" "She could learn a thing or two from sadie, for sure." "But she'll get there." "Vickery's a known associate." "His alibi for established time of death is he was home alone." "Wow." "He's got a previous knife assault on his jacket." "He's got a face I want to hit with a phone book." "And you're making this about some pissant rear door key" "and a guitar string, what?" "You arrest vickery, you'll just end up voiding it later." "It's not him." "Says you." "Then the real guy's lawyer will use that voided arrest" "to get the case thrown out." "Well, if that happens, you get to say, "I told you so." Oh, you'll hate that." "Or you can delegate me to go find the real guy for you and then you can take the credit." "You'll hate that." "Fine." "Take a day." "No, take two." "You used to be more fun, too." "Yeah, a lot of things used to be more fun." "How'd you know to tell him about that house?" "I didn't." "It just sounds like a million other places they've been to and forgotten." "Was it real?" "It was." "I went there with my mother, years ago." "She had a thing for the guy who owned it." "One night, she called him over and over, and no answer, so..." "She woke me up and we drove all the way out there in the dark." "And what happened?" "He told her she should go home." "And what about the, uh..." "(Howls)" "I don't know where that came from." "I chose." "Charmain..." "I'm serious about being a cop." "About being a great cop." "As serious as you are." "Okay?" "Okay." "(Engine starts)" "Sam?" "(Groans)" "So, I didn't know if I should read it or burn it." "Anyway..." "I didn't open it." "You're gonna do what you're gonna do, but he is not going back to that place." "Ever." "That, we agree on." "He's going to prison because of you." "(Door opening)" "All right, look." "I talked to my guy at Pendleton who said mps don't bother looking nowadays." "There's a couple of phone calls, goes to file." "Thanks."

"Well, that's what Charlie was singing, and he was playing the guitar." "And when he was done, he looked at me and said if I really wanted to, I could just pick it up and play it." "Even if I didn't know how." "After my mom died, I tried everything." "I went to church, to evergreen baptist." "I danced with my top off in a witches' sabbath show, and I was so alone." "But that night, I left with Charlie." "And he introduced me to Katie." "And everything was perfect..." "Until we met you." "(Chuckles)" "You're just... (Sighs)" "So..." "Real."

"Cut thinks he's the guy, but he's giving me a grace period." "Well, is he?" "May not end up mattering, but no." "You seen this girl?" "Anybody seen this girl?" "Anybody?" "Have you seen her?" "This girl?" "(Pop music playing on stereo)" "(Indistinct chatter)" "Hey." "Hey." "You seen this girl?" "Lots of girls here." "That a no?" "I don't know what it is." "Better look again."

"You're gonna make it, man." "I'm just gonna lay it down for you." "(Chuckles)" "But, uh, you really sure this is where you want to record?" "Yeah." "Yeah, you know why?" "Because this is where it is, man." "(Laughs)" "It's just, we're gonna pick up a lot of ambient sound." "You mean, we're gonna pick up everything around us?"

"I don't know anything." "What?" "What is it?" "My son is missing." "Oh, Sam." "You know, it... it doesn't necessarily mean anything." "Our neighbors, the rensselaers, their son was reported dead, and then two months later, Ann got a letter from him." "He'd been in the hospital, but no one had bothered to tell him it was..."
