Fireman #1:
FOUND THE STEPS.

Fireman #2: WHERE?

OVER HERE.

Woman: EVERY NOW AND THEN,
I CATCH MYSELF REMEMBERING

THE FANCY HOUSE
ON RODEO GULCH ROAD

THAT WENT UP IN FLAMES
IN THE FALL OF 1970.

CAN'T SEE ANYTHING BACK HERE.
THIS WAY.

THE HOUSE FIRE WAS
PRETTY EASY TO PUT OUT.

THIS IS
THE POOL AREA.

AND IF THAT WERE
THE END OF THE STORY,

I MIGHT NOT EVEN
REMEMBER IT AT ALL.

WAIT.

INSTEAD, WHEN THE FIREMEN

WENT TO SIPHON
SOME WATER FROM THE POOL...

WHO IS THAT?

OH, MY GOD.

...THEY FOUND SOMETHING
THAT HAS HAUNTED ME

EVER SINCE,

SOMETHING THAT WAS GOING TO
TEAR OUR LITTLE TOWN APART.

CAPTIONS PAID FOR BY
DISCOVERY COMMUNICATIONS

Medina: IT WAS MONDAY,
OCTOBER 19, 1970.

THE FIREFIGHTERS HAD FOUND
FIVE PEOPLE IN THE POOL.

Robinson:
AND THEY HAD ALL BEEN SHOT.

Medina: I WAS ONE OF
THE FIRST DETECTIVES ON SCENE.

AND THE FIRST THING I NOTICED

IS THAT THE BODIES ARE TIED,
BUT -- BUT NOT WITH ROPE.

THEY'RE, LIKE, SILK SCARVES

THAT ARE KNOTTED TOGETHER
TO TIE THE HANDS.

WHAT DO YOU
HAVE FOR ME?

THAT'S VIRGINIA OHTA.

REST OF THE FAMILY'S
OVER HERE.

THAT'S MR. OHTA.

TWO BOYS -- WE'RE
PRESUMING HIS TWO SONS.

AND BASED ON THE PURSE
AND I.D. WE FOUND INSIDE,

THAT'S DOROTHY CADWALLADER.

NOT EXACTLY SURE
WHO SHE IS.

SHE'S THE SECRETARY.

Habel: THE VICTIMS HAVE BEEN
BLINDFOLDED.

VIRGINIA WAS GAGGED.

MR. OHTA HAD BEEN SHOT
THREE TIMES IN THE BACK

WITH A .38-CALIBER,

AND THE OTHER VICTIMS
WERE SHOT IN THE NECK

WITH A .22-CALIBER.

Medina: THEY APPEARED TO BE
VERY CLOSE-RANGE SHOTS.

Habel: EXECUTION-STYLE MURDERS
IN THEIR OWN HOME.

Medina: HOW HORRIFIC.

WHAT COULD BE
GOING THROUGH THEIR MINDS

AS THIS WAS HAPPENING TO THEM?

IT IS THE FIRST MASS MURDER

IN SANTA CRUZ COUNTY'S HISTORY.

IT LOOKED LIKE PEOPLE
HAD TRIED

TO BURN THE PLACE
TO THE GROUND.

THERE WERE LITTLE FIRES
SET ALL OVER THE HOUSE.

THANKFULLY, MOST OF THEM
DIDN'T TAKE.

THE PURSES,
THE WALLETS, THE JEWELRY --

THEY'RE ALL LEFT BEHIND.

THERE DOESN'T APPEAR
TO BE ANYTHING MISSING.

CLEARLY, THIS WAS NOT A ROBBERY.

Medina: THIS IS
A VERY TIGHT-KNIT FAMILY.

Habel: VICTOR AND VIRGINIA
HAVE FOUR CHILDREN.

Medina: THE TWO DAUGHTERS,
LARK AND TARA,

WERE AWAY AT SCHOOL
AT THIS TIME.

Habel: THE BOYS ARE DERRICK,
WHO IS 12,

AND TAGGART, WHO IS 11.

Medina:
DOROTHY CADWALLADER WAS NOT ONLY THE PROFESSIONAL ASSISTANT

TO DR. OHTA,

SHE WAS REALLY PART
OF THE FAMILY.

Habel: VICTOR OHTA WAS A VERY
WELL-RESPECTED EYE DOCTOR.

Medina: NOT ONLY WAS
HE VERY SUCCESSFUL,

HE WAS PHILANTHROPIC
IN HIS SERVICE.

HE WAS HIGHLY THOUGHT-OF
IN THE COMMUNITY.

THEY FIND THAT THERE'S AN EMPTY
BOX OF .22-CALIBER SHELLS.

Medina: ULTIMATELY, WE REALIZED
THAT THERE WAS A GUN MISSING.

THE SILK SCARVES
CAME FROM MR. OHTA'S DRESSER.

ALL OF THE PHONE CORDS WERE CUT.

Medina: THIS IS
A VERY LARGE HOUSE,

AND THERE'S MORE
THAN ONE PHONE,

SO THIS IS PRETTY METHODICAL.

LOOKS LIKE IT WAS CUT
WITH A KNIFE.

THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY,
PETER CHANG,

WAS INVOLVED EARLY
IN THE INVESTIGATION.

YOU EVER TRY TO SNAP
ONE OF THESE WITH YOUR HANDS?

IT'S LIKE A STEEL CORD.

SHERIFF, MR. CHANG,
YOU'RE GONNA WANT TO SEE THIS.

Habel: THE DRIVEWAY HAS BEEN
BLOCKED BY TWO VEHICLES --

MR. OHTA'S ROLLS-ROYCE

AND MRS. CADWALLADER'S
LINCOLN CONTINENTAL.

THIS WAS A PLAN
TO STYMIE FIREFIGHTERS

FROM BATTLING THIS FIRE
TOO QUICKLY.

APPARENTLY,
ONE OF THE CARS IS MISSING.

MISSING?

MRS. OHTA DROVE A STATION WAGON,
GREEN.

IT'S NOT HERE ANYWHERE.

BUT MRS. OHTA'S CAR

IS UNACCOUNTED FOR.

CALL DMV.

GET ON THE RADIO,
CIRCULATE A DESCRIPTION.

I WANT ROAD BLOCKS ON 9, 17,
BOTH DIRECTIONS ON ROUTE 1.

[ ENGINE STARTS ]

[ SIRENS WAILING ]

IF THEY FIND THE CAR,
THEY COULD FIND THE KILLERS.

THERE'S SOMETHING ELSE.

Habel: THE INVESTIGATORS
FIND A TYPEWRITTEN NOTE

UNDER THE WINDSHIELD WIPER
OF MR. OHTA'S CAR.

"HALLOWEEN, 1970.

TODAY, WORLD WAR 3
WILL BEGIN..."

Medina: "AS BROUGHT TO YOU BY
THE PEOPLE OF THE FREE UNIVERSE.

FROM THIS DAY FORWARD,

ANYONE AND/OR COMPANY
OF PERSONS

WHO MISUSES
THE NATURAL ENVIRONMENT

OR DESTROYS SAME WILL SUFFER
THE PENALTY OF DEATH

BY THE PEOPLE
OF THE FREE UNIVERSE.

I AND MY COMRADES..."

"FROM THIS DAY FORTH WILL FIGHT
UNTIL DEATH OR FREEDOM..."

"AGAINST ANYTHING OR ANYONE

WHO DOES NOT SUPPORT
NATURAL LIFE ON THIS PLANET.

MATERIALISM MUST DIE,
OR MANKIND WILL."

SIGNED "KNIGHT OF WANDS,
KNIGHT OF CUPS,

KNIGHT OF PENTACLES,
KNIGHT OF SWORDS."

THE PEOPLE OF
THE FREE UNIVERSE?

THIS NOTE IS
ABSOLUTELY TERRIFYING.

WHAT IS REALLY GOING ON HERE?

YOU HAVE FIVE PEOPLE
WHO ARE BOUND AND BLINDFOLDED.

Medina:
WITH THE NUMBER OF FIRES SET,

THE PREMEDITATION
OF CUTTING THE PHONE LINES,

THE CARS BLOCKING THE DRIVEWAY,

THE NOTE...

AM I THE ONLY ONE WHO'S GETTING
VISIONS OF THE MANSON FAMILY?

Habel:
IN THE SUMMER OF 1969,

CHARLES MANSON HAD LED A CULT

TO MURDER PEOPLE IN THEIR HOMES.

INVESTIGATORS ARE STARTING TO
WONDER IF THIS IS A NEW TREND.

Johnston: THE NOTE WAS
A DECLARATION OF WAR.

WE NOW HAVE ANOTHER CULT
WHO HAS A MISSION,

WHO IS PLANNING FUTURE KILLINGS.

ALL RIGHT, PEOPLE,
WE ALL KNOW THE DRILL.

I WANT PRINTS, PICTURES,
PHOTO STATS.

GET 'EM OFF TO FBI,
SAN FRAN, SACRAMENTO, TOO.

IT'S GONNA BE
A LONG NIGHT, PEOPLE.

THIS IS THE BEGINNING
OF SOMETHING REALLY BAD.

Woman: SANTA CRUZ USED TO BE
JUST ANOTHER EVERY-TOWN U.S.A.

I'M NOT SAYING IT WAS BORING,

BUT THE PEOPLE THERE WALKED
THE STRAIGHT AND NARROW --

CHURCH AND SCHOOL,

THE 9:00-TO-5:00,
THE WHOLE BIT.

**

THEN, SUDDENLY,
PEOPLE LIKE ME WERE EVERYWHERE.

IT WAS TRULY A RADICAL TIME.

WE WERE BRINGING
THE REVOLUTION.

AND WE REJECTED EVERYTHING

ABOUT THE TOWNSPEOPLE'S
COMFORTABLE,

CONVENTIONAL LIVES.

HEY, CAN I HITCH A RIDE
WITH YOU GUYS?

THEY CALLED US HIPPIES,

AND THEY TOLD US TO GET A JOB
OR GET OUT OF TOWN.

BUT MOSTLY,
THEY SEEMED AFRAID OF US.

Robinson: THERE WAS AN ABSOLUTE
COLLISION OF CULTURES.

AND THERE WAS A LOT OF FEAR

THAT THESE LONG-HAIRED,
DRUG-ADDLED,

COMMUNE-DWELLING HIPPIES

HAD NO BARRIER
THAT THEY WOULDN'T CROSS,

AND THEY WERE CAPABLE
OF ANYTHING.

PERSONALLY, MY ONLY CREED WAS,

IF IT FEELS GOOD, DO IT.

BUT TO BE FAIR,
NOT ALL OF US WERE SO MELLOW.

Reporter: CHARLES MANSON
TESTIFIED THIS MORNING...

Woman: YOU REMEMBER
THE MANSON MURDERS, RIGHT?

JUST A YEAR BEFORE
THE OHTAS WERE KILLED,

MANSON AND HIS SICK GANG

MURDERED SOME RICH PEOPLE
IN THEIR HOMES.

THEY LOOKED AND TALKED JUST
LIKE THE HIPPIES IN SANTA CRUZ.

AND IT JUST CONFIRMED
WHAT EVERYONE IN TOWN

WAS ALREADY AFRAID OF.

WITH THE MANSON MURDERS,
IT WAS PROVEN THAT,

AMONGST THIS COUNTERCULTURE,

THERE WAS THE CAPACITY TO KILL
AND TO KILL HORRIBLY.

Medina:
THE CATALYST WAS THE CORNERSTONE

OF THE COUNTERCULTURE COMMUNITY

IN THE CITY OF SANTA CRUZ.

[ TELEPHONE RINGS ]

CATALYST.
WHAT'S ON YOUR MIND?

MAN:
You scum are not welcome here.

I'm gonna blow up
that hippie flophouse.

YOU KNOW, MAN, YOU REALLY
NEED PSYCHIATRIC HELP.

[ Click ]

HELLO?

[ Dial tone ]

HELLO?

SOMEONE PULLING
YOUR CHAIN?

THAT'S THE SECOND BOMB THREAT
TODAY, MAN.

WHAT THE HELL IS GOIN' ON
AROUND HERE?

I DON'T KNOW, MAN.

EVERYBODY'S UPTIGHT
ABOUT THOSE KILLINGS.

Medina: DESPITE THE FACT
THAT WE HAD NOT NAMED

ANY "HIPPIES" AS THE SUSPECTS,

WITHIN ABOUT 24 HOURS
OF THE MURDERS,

THEY HAD FOUR BOMB THREATS
CALL TO THEM,

SAYING, YOU KNOW,
"WE'VE HAD IT WITH YOU.

WE'VE HAD IT WITH THE PEOPLE
THAT HANG OUT THERE.

WE'RE GONNA BLOW THE PLACE UP."

AS MANY OF YOU ALREADY KNOW,

DR. VICTOR OHTA
AND MEMBERS OF HIS FAMILY

HAVE BEEN THE VICTIMS OF
A HORRIFIC AND SENSELESS MURDER.

PETE, PETE!
WHAT ABOUT REPORTS

THAT THE KILLERS
ARE A BAND OF HIPPIES?

WE HAVE NO INFORMATION ABOUT
THE APPEARANCE OF THE KILLER

OR KILLERS AT THIS TIME.

THERE WAS ALREADY FEAR.
PEOPLE WERE ALREADY BUYING GUNS.

WE DIDN'T WANT RETALIATION
AGAINST HIPPIES OR VIGILANTISM.

SO WE DECIDED NOT TO RELEASE

THE CONTENTS OF THIS NOTE
OR READ IT TO THE MEDIA.

[ INDISTINCT SHOUTING ]

ANY CONCERN ABOUT
FURTHER MANSON-STYLE

SLAYINGS IN THE AREA?

I MUST STRESS THAT IT
IS VERY IMPORTANT

THAT WE NOT JUMP TO CONCLUSIONS.

THANK YOU.

[ INDISTINCT SHOUTING ]

Habel: BECAUSE THE NOTE IS
THREATENING FURTHER VIOLENCE,

RELEASING THE NOTE COULD CAUSE
TENSIONS TO BOIL OVER.

* I LAY ME DOWN TO SLEEP *

Habel:
INVESTIGATORS TAKE TO THE HILLS.

THERE ARE
HIPPIE COMMUNES LOCATED

THROUGHOUT THE REDWOOD FOREST.

WELL, MAYBE THE PEOPLE
OF THE FREE UNIVERSE ARE LIVING

OFF THE LAND
IN THE HILLS HERE SOMEPLACE.

**

* SOMETIMES, IT'S BEST
TO KEEP AWAY *

WHAT'S GOIN' ON, OFFICER?

LOOKIN' INTO THE TROUBLE
OVER IN SOQUEL.

IT'S A DRAG, ALL RIGHT.

OWN ANY GUNS?

NOT THE GUN-CARRYIN' TYPES.
SORRY.

WHAT KIND OF TYPE
ARE YOU?

MAYBE THE PEOPLE
OF THE FREE UNIVERSE?

AREN'T WE ALL PEOPLE
OF THE FREE UNIVERSE?

HMM.

LET ME ASK YOU
ONE MORE THING.

ANYONE HERE
EVER CALL THEMSELVES

A KNIGHT OF PINNACLES,

KNIGHT OF CUPS,

KNIGHT OF SWORDS,
ANYTHING LIKE THAT?

Woman: KNIGHT OF PENTACLES.

NOT PINNACLES, PENTACLES.

I'M SORRY.
EXCUSE ME?

THE TAROT, TAROT CARDS.

Habel: AT THE TIME,

MOST PEOPLE ARE UNFAMILIAR
WITH TAROT DECKS.

IT'S AN ARCANE METHOD
OF FORTUNE TELLING.

Medina: KNIGHT OF SWORDS,
KNIGHT OF CUPS.

WE PUT TAROT CARDS
ON THE TABLE.

AND WE WERE TRYING
TO DETERMINE,

FROM THE CARDS,
IF THERE WAS ANYTHING

THAT WE COULD LINK
TO THE TYPE OF MURDER

THAT WE WERE DEALING WITH.

FIRE SYMBOLIZES POSITIVITY,
ENERGY, EAGERNESS.

BUT IT ALSO STANDS
OF EGO, IDLENESS,

A WASTEFUL PURPOSELESSNESS.

WE REALLY DIDN'T COME UP
WITH VERY MUCH.

BUT IT WAS STILL VERY CULTISH.

[ TELEPHONE RINGS ]

SANTA CRUZ
SHERIFF'S OFFICE.

SHERIFF,
WE MAY HAVE SOMETHING.

Habel: THE INVESTIGATORS
HAD PUT A DESCRIPTION

OF MRS. OHTA'S CAR IN THE PAPER,
HOPING TO GET TIPS.

AND THEY GET A CALL
FROM A GAS-STATION ATTENDANT

WHO SAYS THAT HE INTERACTED
WITH A MAN

IN A GREEN STATION WAGON.

Man: HEY. SORRY.
WE'RE ALL OUT.

HE TOLD HIM HE COULDN'T
GAS UP THERE,

BUT THERE WAS
ANOTHER GAS STATION

ABOUT A MILE DOWN THE ROAD.

CAN'T MISS IT.
ALL RIGHT?

THAT'S COOL, MAN.

THE DRIVER RESPONDED,
"THAT'S COOL, MAN."

Officer:
HE DIDN'T SEE HIS FACE,

SAID HE'D KNOW
HIS VOICE, THOUGH.

ONE GUY,
JUST THE DRIVER?

WHO ARE THE OTHER
THREE KNIGHTS?

MAYBE DRIVER DROPPED 'EM OFF.

HMM.

[ TELEPHONE RINGS ]

SANTA CRUZ
SHERIFF'S OFFICE.

Medina: AT THAT POINT,
MORE PEOPLE START CALLING.

[ TELEPHONE RINGS ]

AND THIS TIP COMES IN.

Habel: SOMEONE SAYS THAT
A GREEN OLDSMOBILE STATION WAGON

HAD BEEN SET ON FIRE.

Medina: THE THINGS ARE NOW
GETTING PRETTY INTENSE.

IN OUR MINDS, THERE WAS
GONNA BE A CONFRONTATION

WITH AN ARMED GROUP.

YOU WERE WORRIED THAT
THEY COULD SEE US,

BUT WE COULDN'T SEE THEM.

THAT CAR, WITHOUT ANY DOUBT,

WAS MRS. OHTA'S STATION WAGON.

CALL FOR BACKUP.

RIGHT ON THEIR TRAIL.

Johnston: IF THEY WERE SMART,

THOSE KNIGHTS OF THE FREE PEOPLE
OF THE UNIVERSE

WOULD'VE GONE RIGHT
INTO THOSE WOODS.

THEY COULDN'T HAVE GOTTEN FAR.

Habel: MRS. OHTA'S GREEN
OLDSMOBILE STATION WAGON

HAD BEEN SET ON FIRE.

ALL RIGHT,
I WANT TO SEARCH THESE WOODS,

SEE WHAT WE CAN FIND.

SEEMS LIKE THIS PLASTER'S
ABOUT DRIED UP.

Habel: OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE,
THERE ARE FOOTPRINTS.

THEY CAN'T EXACTLY TELL, THOUGH,

IF IT'S ONE OR MORE INDIVIDUALS
LEAVING THE SCENE.

AND EVEN THOUGH THE SUSPECTS

COULD NOT HAVE GOTTEN
THAT FAR...

NOTHING?

...THE KILLERS SLIP
THROUGH THEIR FINGERS.

NOW WE HAVE A BURNT CAR
AND NO SUSPECTS.

IT'S TWO DAYS AFTER
THE DISCOVERY OF THE MURDERS.

WE HAD TO TAKE A STEP BACK
AND TAKE A DEEP BREATH.

YOU HAVE ALL THESE THEORIES --
THE CULT, THE TAROT.

BUT ULTIMATELY, YOU HAVE
TO RELATE IT TO THE EVIDENCE.

SO WE GO BACK AND TALK TO PEOPLE
THAT LAST SAW THE VICTIMS.

AND WE DISCOVER
SOMETHING INTERESTING.

ON THE DAY OF THE MURDERS,

MRS. CADWALLADER PICKED UP
JUST ONE OF THE SONS.

AND IT WASN'T UNTIL LATER

THAT MR. OHTA
PICKED UP THE OTHER SON,

WHICH MEANT THEY DIDN'T ALL
COME HOME AT THE SAME TIME.

Habel:
THIS CHANGES THE POSSIBILITIES OF WHAT HAPPENED THAT NIGHT.

Medina:
SO NOW WE START TO THINK,

"LET'S GO BACK
TO THE CRIME SCENE."

FIVE PEOPLE OVERPOWERED,
BOUND, GAGGED, EXECUTED.

Habel: ON TOP OF THAT,
EVERY PHONE LINE IS CUT.

THE DRIVEWAY IS BLOCKED
BY TWO VEHICLES.

FIRES ARE SET IN SEVERAL ROOMS.

Medina: ALL THIS MADE US
THINK WE WERE DEALING

WITH A GROUP OF PEOPLE.

WHAT IF IT WAS
JUST ONE PERSON?

BUT IT IS POSSIBLE

THAT A SINGLE KILLER
WAS ALREADY IN THE HOUSE.

AND AS THEY COME HOME,

HE ONLY HAS TO DEAL
WITH ONE PERSON AT A TIME.

THE ONLY EYEWITNESS
WHO SAW THE CAR SWEARS

THERE WAS JUST ONE PERSON
IN IT.

AND NONE OF THE EVIDENCE

FOUND IN OR AROUND
THE CAR DISPUTES THAT.

HOWEVER,
IF IT HAPPENED THAT WAY,

IT IS EVEN MORE DIFFICULT
TO FIND ONE PERSON.

WE WERE REALLY AT THE POINT
WHERE WE NEEDED HELP.

SO, WE HAVE A DISCUSSION
ABOUT THE NOTE.

THAT'S THE ONE SIGNIFICANT
PIECE OF EVIDENCE

THAT WE HAD HELD BACK.

DO WE RELEASE THAT
TO THE PUBLIC?

THERE WERE THINGS
THAT WE WERE WORRIED ABOUT.

HE'S DECLARING
WORLD WAR THREE.

EVERYTHING IN THAT
MANIFESTO THERE INDICATES

THAT HE'S
GONNA KILL AGAIN.

Habel: HOWEVER,
IF THEY DON'T RELEASE IT,

THEY MAY NOT BE ABLE
TO STOP THE NEXT MURDERS.

GENTLEMEN...
I THINK THE TIME HAS COME

TO RELEASE
THIS NOTE TO THE PRESS.

**

Medina: SO, WE PUT THE NOTE
IN THE PAPER,

THINKING THAT SOMEBODY
MAY RECOGNIZE THE LANGUAGE.

NO WAY, MAN.

FAR OUT.

THAT'S TOTALLY HIS RAP.

WOW.

YOU GONNA NARC ON HIM?

I DON'T KNOW.

TOUGH ONE.

GOT TO SPLIT.

Woman:
THE CATALYST WAS ALREADY GETTING BOMB THREATS DAILY.

IF THE FOLKS IN TOWN
FOUND OUT THEY WERE RIGHT,

THAT THE KILLER WAS A HIPPIE,

WHAT WOULD THEY DO
TO PEOPLE LIKE ME?

IT SEEMED LIKE THERE WAS
NO WAY OUT.

[ DOOR OPENS ]

Habel: THREE DAYS AFTER
THE MURDERS,

A MEETING IS SET UP
AT 3:00 A.M.

WITH DISTRICT ATTORNEY
PETE CHANG.

MR. CROHN, THANK YOU
FOR HAVING ME.

YEAH, MAN, NO PROBLEM.

UM...HEY, LISTEN,
IF YOU DON'T MIND,

I DON'T WANT PEOPLE
KNOWING THAT YOU'RE HERE.

WHAT CAN YOU TELL ME?

WELL, IT'S THAT
WHACKED-OUT LETTER

THAT YOU ALL PUT
IN TODAY'S PAPER.

THE LANGUAGE -- IT'S, LIKE,
A DEAD RINGER FOR THIS CAT

WHO'S BEEN HANGING
AROUND THE SCENE LATELY.

DO YOU KNOW HIS NAME?

MR. CROHN,
WE HAVE EVERY REASON TO BELIEVE

THIS INDIVIDUAL
WILL KILL AGAIN.

FRAZIER, JOHN FRAZIER.

FRAZIER, LIKE
THE HEAVYWEIGHT BOXER?

YEAH, HE'S ALWAYS
SPEWING THAT SAME CRAP, MAN,

KNIGHT OF PENTACLES,
YOU KNOW, ALL THAT TAROT STUFF.

IT'S TOTALLY HIM.

* BABYLON IS FALLING *

* BABYLON IS FALLING *

BEFORE, I WAS MERELY JOHN.

BUT -- BUT NOW,
NOW I AM SO MUCH MORE.

DOES HE HAVE A GROUP
HE HANGS OUT WITH,

OTHER PEOPLE WHO FEEL
THE SAME WAY AS HE DOES?

NO, NO WAY, MAN.

NO, THIS GUY'S WAY TOO FAR
OUT THERE, EVEN FOR SANTA CRUZ.

HE'S JUST A BAD SCENE.

I AM THE KNIGHT AND THE SWORD.

I AM THE SWORD,
AND THE SWORD --

AND THE SWORD WILL CLEAVE
AND SEPARATE THE PIGS --

THE PIGS FROM THE INNOCENTS.

HE GETS REALLY ANGRY
AND INTENSE.

AND THEN HE GETS THIS
WEIRD LOOK IN HIS EYES.

I AM THE KNIGHT
ON A CRUSADE -- CRUSADE.

I'M ON A CRUSADE.
I WILL CLEANSE THIS WORLD --

WILL CLEANSE THIS WORLD
OF ITS PLASTIC DISEASE.

LET'S NOT HAVE A WEIRD SCENE
LIKE LAST TIME.

Medina: FRAZIER SAID WORDS
TO THE EFFECT

THAT HE BELIEVED
HE WAS ON A MISSION

TO WIPE MATERIALISM
OFF OF THE EARTH.

WHERE CAN WE FIND HIM?

BEATS ME.
NO IDEA WHERE HE LIVES.

HE HASN'T BEEN IN THE CAT
SINCE A DAY OR TWO BEFORE...

DON'T WORRY.

YOU DID THE RIGHT THING.

AT THAT POINT, WE ALL BEGAN
WORKING ON JOHN LINLEY FRAZIER.

HOW YOU DOING?

WHAT CAN I DO FOR YOU,
FELLAS?

TAX RECORDS SHOW THAT
JOHN IS A FORMER EMPLOYEE

OF AN AUTO BODY SHOP.

LOOKING
FOR A JOHN LINLEY FRAZIER.

HE'S KIND OF A CHARACTER,
LONG-HAIR TYPE.

JOHN LINLEY FRAZIER, I HAVEN'T
HEARD THAT NAME IN A WHILE.

HIS FORMER BOSS SAYS
SOMETHING SORT OF ODD.

HE DESCRIBES FRAZIER
AS CLEAN-CUT...

MARRIED MAN,
DOES A GOOD JOB.

NO, HE KEPT
HIS TOOLBOX SPOTLESS,

YOU KNOW, GOOD WORKER.

COMPLETELY UNLIKE WHAT
OTHER PEOPLE WERE SAYING.

ONE YEAR BEFORE,
JOHN HAD SUDDENLY QUIT HIS JOB.

YOU WOULDN'T HAPPEN TO
STILL HAVE HIS PHONE NUMBER,

WOULD YOU?
LET ME CHECK.

WHAT DO YOU KNOW?

JOHN LINLEY FRAZIER.

Habel: HE GIVES THE DETECTIVES
AN ADDRESS.

THIS IS HIM.

BUT HE'S NOT HERE NOW?

NO.

Medina: AT THE HOUSE,
WE FIND HIS WIFE, DOLORES.

YOU EXPECTING HIM
BACK ANYTIME SOON?

HE DOESN'T LIVE HERE ANYMORE.

Habel: DOLORES SAYS THAT JOHN
HAS LEFT HER AND HIS CHILD.

Dolores: HE'S A GREAT DAD.
HE LOVES HIS DAUGHTER.

HE LOVES HER.

EVERYTHING WAS GREAT.

THEN, ABOUT A YEAR AGO,
SOMETHING CHANGED.

SO WHAT HAPPENED?

HE WAS IN A CAR WRECK,
AND HE -- HE HIT HIS HEAD.

AND IT DIDN'T SEEM
BAD AT FIRST, BUT...

...I NOTICED
HE STARTED ACTING WEIRD.

WEIRD?

HE STARTED UP WITH

ALL THIS BIBLE STUFF
AND FORTUNE-TELLING CARDS.

AND HE'D GET REALLY,
REALLY ANGRY.

Medina: HE QUITS HIS JOB.

HE'S DOING HALLUCINOGENS
LIKE MESCALINE.

AND THIS OTHER PERSON EMERGES.

[ INDISTINCT CHANTING ]

AND HE KEEPS GETTING WEIRDER
AND WEIRDER AND WEIRDER.

IT'S ALL GONNA BURN.

Habel:
HE BECAME VERY PARANOID,

STARTED RANTING AND OBSESSING.

DO YOU KNOW
WHERE HE IS NOW?

I THINK SO, YEAH.

Medina:
HE'S NOW MOVED INTO THE WOODS.

Habel:
HE'S LIVING OFF THE GRID.

Medina: SHE HAD POINTED US
IN THE DIRECTION

OF THIS RICKETY SHACK
UP THIS GULLY.

**

BUT HE'S NOT THERE.

Robinson: HE WAS LIVING
IN SQUALID CONDITIONS.

THIS SHACK WAS LOCATED
A FEW MILES FROM THE OHTA HOUSE.

AND THE NEIGHBORS
THAT WE'D TALKED TO

SAID THEY SAW FRAZIER GOING
TO A NEARBY WATER TOWER,

PRETTY HIGH WATER TOWER,

CLIMBING UP ON IT
WITH BINOCULARS.

Habel: WAS FRAZIER WATCHING
THE OHTA FAMILY HOME FROM THERE?

SO IMMEDIATELY NOW,

WE ARE GONNA SET UP
ON THIS SHACK.

AND WE PUT TOGETHER
TWO DAYS' WORTH OF SHIFTS

TO SEE IF HE WILL RETURN.

Habel: THIS IS A VERY
DANGEROUS SITUATION.

Medina: YOU'RE DEALING WITH
A DELUSIONAL PARANOIAC

WHO'S ARMED,
WHO MAY HAVE KILLED PEOPLE.

HE COULD BE CAPABLE OF ANYTHING.

DON'T MOVE!

DO IT!

Medina: THEY HAVE A GUN
POINTED RIGHT AT HIS HEAD.

SHOOT ME!

AND FRAZIER SAYS,

"WHY DON'T YOU GIVE ME
WHAT I DESERVE?"

FOUR DAYS AFTER THE MURDERS,
JOHN FRAZIER IS ARRESTED.

Officer: OKAY.
NUMBER ONE?

THAT'S COOL, MAN.

AGAIN, PLEASE.
THAT'S COOL, MAN.

Medina:
THE ARREST IS THE BEGINNING.

IT DOESN'T MEAN
THAT WE HAVE A --

A CASE BEYOND
A REASONABLE DOUBT.

OKAY, NUMBER TWO.

THAT'S COOL, MAN.

WE HELD A VOICE LINEUP
WITH THE GAS-STATION ATTENDANT

THAT HEARD,
"THAT'S COOL, MAN."

OKAY, NUMBER THREE?

Frazier:
THAT'S COOL, MAN.

AND THE GAS-STATION ATTENDANT
PICKS JOHN FRAZIER'S VOICE

AS THE DRIVER
OF MRS. OHTA'S CAR.

Habel: THE PHYSICAL EVIDENCE
IS STARTING TO ADD UP.

THE OHTAS HAD TWO DAUGHTERS
WHO WERE AWAY AT SCHOOL.

ONE OF THEM IS LARK,
AND SHE WAS 15 AT THE TIME.

SHE SAYS THAT THE BINOCULARS
BELONGED TO HER FATHER.

AND THEY HAD BEEN MISSING WEEKS
BEFORE THE MURDERS HAPPENED...

...WHICH MEANS THAT
JOHN LINLEY FRAZIER

HAD BEEN IN THEIR HOME
BEFORE THAT DAY.

Medina:
HE WAS STALKING THE OHTAS.

MR. FRAZIER,
I'M DR. MAYNARD.

WE'LL BE TALKING TOGETHER
ABOUT YOUR CASE.

Johnston: AT THIS POINT,
WE KNOW HE'D DONE IT.

THE QUESTION IS,
IS HE LEGALLY INSANE?

Medina: BECAUSE IF HE
DIDN'T KNOW WHAT HE WAS DOING,

HE CAN'T BE HELD
CRIMINALLY RESPONSIBLE.

THE REVOLUTION,
IT'S A PROPHECY.

IT WAS --
IT WAS GIVEN TO ME.

I'M JUST OUTSIDE
OF MY HOUSE.

AND I'M
LOOKING AT THE TREES

AND I SEE A ROBIN
WITH A RED BREAST.

AND I HEAR THE DOOR OPEN
LIKE A TRUMPET.

Habel: AND AT THIS TIME,

JOHN SHAVED OFF ALL OF THE HAIR

ON ONE SIDE OF HIS HEAD.

JOHN WAS VERY CONVINCED

THAT THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG
WITH HIM.

SO TELL ME, JOHN,
WHAT HAPPENED AT THE OHTAS?

IT'S A VERY --

IT'S A VERY PERFECT
BLUE DAY.

Medina: WHAT JOHN SAYS
IS THAT HE IS TOLD BY GOD

THAT THE OHTAS NEED TO DIE.

THEY NEED TO DIE BECAUSE THEY'RE
SCREWING UP THE ENVIRONMENT.

THEY'RE TOO RICH,

THAT HE HAS TO CLEANSE
THE EARTH OF THESE PEOPLE.

EVEN THOUGH HE ALREADY HAS A --
A WEAPON,

HE ALSO HAD FOUND A GUN
THAT THE OHTAS HAVE.

FOR THE LORD KNOWETH
THE WAY OF THE RIGHTEOUS.

Medina:
HE HAD TIED THE SILK SCARVES TOGETHER IN PREPARATION.

[ DOOR OPENS ]

AND HE LIES IN WAIT
AS THEY COME HOME.

SHE CAN'T MAKE IT.
NO.

SHE --
SHE CAN'T GET THERE.

THERE'S -- THERE'S NO WAY.

Habel: JOHN PLACED A CALL
TO MR. OHTA'S OFFICE,

STATING THAT MRS. OHTA WOULD BE
UNABLE TO PICK UP THE CHILDREN

BECAUSE SHE WAS
HAVING CAR TROUBLE.

NEXT, JOHN SAYS
MRS. CADWALLADER

AND DERRICK,
THE OLDEST BOY, ARRIVED.

GET DOWN ON THE FLOOR.

GET DOWN.
GET DOWN!

GET DOWN. DO WHAT HE SAYS.
BOTH OF YOU!

DON'T MOVE.

AND HE BOUND
AND BLINDFOLDED THEM.

AND THEN MR. OHTA
AND TAGGART ARRIVED.

AND HE BOUND
AND BLINDFOLDED THEM AS WELL.

Frazier:
OH, HALLELUJAH!

IT'S TIME.

[ SOBBING ]

YOU THINK, IF YOU HAVE
A BIG HOUSE,

IF YOU MAKE
LOTS OF MONEY,

THAT'S WHAT GOD WANTS.

THAT'S WHAT YOU THINK.

Habel: AND THEN HE TALKED TO
MR. OHTA ABOUT HIS MATERIALISM.

AND HE ASKED HIM TO HELP HIM
BURN DOWN THE HOME.

WILL YOU JOIN ME?

I'LL GIVE YOU
ANYTHING YOU WANT.

I'LL GIVE YOU MONEY.
YOU'LL GIVE ME MONEY?

I'LL GIVE YOU MONEY.

I'LL GIVE YOU MONEY.

VICTOR OHTA RESPONDED BY SAYING,

"I'LL GIVE YOU
ANYTHING YOU WANT.

JUST LET US GO."

MONEY!
I WILL...

MONEY!

TODAY, YOU WILL LEARN
THAT YOU CAN'T EAT MONEY!

BUT JOHN
WAS A NON-MATERIALIST.

SO BEING OFFERED MONEY
WAS AN INSULT.

Medina: HE TAKES DR. OHTA
TO THE EDGE OF THE POOL.

[ GUNSHOTS ]
[ GRUNTING ]

HE SHOOTS HIM
IN THE BACK THREE TIMES

WITH A .38-CALIBER HANDGUN.

JOHN SAYS HE THEN COLLECTS

MRS. OHTA AND MRS. CADWALLADER.

Medina:
HE ASKED THEM A QUESTION, "DO YOU BELIEVE IN GOD?"

Habel: MRS. OHTA, APPARENTLY,
RESPONDED, "I DO."

AND HE SAYS, "THEN YOU
HAVE NOTHING TO FEAR."

[ GUNSHOT ]

AND HE SHOOTS THEM
IN THE BACK OF THE NECK

WITH A .22-CALIBER HANDGUN.

[ GUNSHOT ]

WHAT ABOUT THE CHILDREN?

I WAS NOT SURE
ABOUT THE CHILDREN.

YOU HAVE TO UNDER--
YOU HAVE TO UNDERSTAND.

I'M GONNA JUST ASK YOU
ONE MORE TIME.

PLEASE -- PLEASE
WILL YOU SPARE THEM?

I ASKED GOD IF THERE
WAS ANY OTHER WAY.

AND HE GAVE ME MY ANSWER.

HE REMINDED ME
THAT THE SINS

OF THE FATHER ARE PASSED
ON TO THE SONS.

Habel: HE SEEMED TO BE AT ODDS
WITH HIS OWN PHILOSOPHY.

HE'S CONCERNED
ABOUT THE ENVIRONMENT.

BUT HE SETS THESE FIRES
INSIDE THE HOUSE

THAT COULD EASILY
SPREAD TO THE FOREST.

THIS IS THE BEGINNING.

THIS IS THE BEGINNING.

AND YOU THINK I'M THE ONLY ONE,
BUT THERE ARE OTHERS.

AND THEY WILL TAKE UP
GOD'S COMMAND.

AND THEY WILL BURN
EVERY CITY.

AND WE WILL START
A NEW WORLD.

Woman: ANYBODY AT THE CATALYST
COULD'VE TOLD YOU

THAT JOHN FRAZIER
WAS AS CRAZY AS THEY COME.

BUT THAT SHRINK HAD
TO PLAY IT COOL.

Johnston: WHAT IS INSANE
FROM A MEDICAL POINT OF VIEW

IS VERY DIFFERENT

FROM WHAT IS INSANE
FROM A LEGAL POINT OF VIEW.

Medina:
SO, THE CASE GOES TO TRIAL,

AND FRAZIER WAS CONVICTED
OF FIRST-DEGREE MURDER.

THEN ALL KINDS OF NUTS
CAME OUT OF THE WOODWORK.

I COULDN'T BELIEVE THAT SOME
HIPPIES WERE SUPPORTING HIM.

NOW WHEN STRAIGHT FOLKS
LOOKED AT THE CATALYST,

ALL THEY SAW WAS CHARLES MANSON
AND JOHN FRAZIER.

I'D MADE MY HOME IN SANTA CRUZ.

AND NOW I WAS WORRIED

THAT I WAS GOING
TO BE DRIVEN OUT,

THAT PEOPLE MIGHT HURT ME
BECAUSE THEY WERE AFRAID

I WAS GOING TO HURT THEM.

I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT WAS
GOING TO HAPPEN.

[ CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKS ]

WE RECOGNIZE THE SHOCK

THAT THIS SENSELESS ACT
HAS BROUGHT TO OUR COMMUNITY.

AND NOW MR. ROGER CROHN
WOULD LIKE TO SAY SOME WORDS.

Habel: BECAUSE ROGER CROHN
AND HIS FRIENDS

HELPED INVESTIGATORS
SOLVE THESE MURDERS...

Johnston:
THE D.A. BRINGS THEM FORTH,

AND THEY RELEASE A STATEMENT.

OUR MAIN CONCERN IS THAT
THE CRIME OF ONE INDIVIDUAL

IS BEING USED TO CAST BLAME
ON AN ENTIRE GROUP OF PEOPLE.

DESPITE HIS APPEARANCE,
THIS MAN,

THIS KILLER,
DOES NOT, IN ANY WAY,

REPRESENT THE SPIRIT
OR ATTITUDES

OF THE HIPPIE COMMUNITY
IN SANTA CRUZ.

* BABYLON IS FALLING *

Medina:
ON NOVEMBER 29th OF 1970,

JOHN FRAZIER,
HE IS SENTENCED TO DEATH.

Crohn:
WE POSE NO THREAT TO YOU.

WE ARE YOUR SONS
AND YOUR DAUGHTERS.

THIS MAN'S ACTIONS
ARE AS REPREHENSIBLE TO US

AS THEY ARE TO YOU.

Medina:
THE TRAGEDY OF JOHN FRAZIER

WAS THAT, AT ONE POINT,

HE WAS A GOOD HUSBAND,
A GOOD FATHER.

YOU KNOW, WHAT HAD HAPPENED?

Crohn: AND WE ARE ALL CONCERNED
ABOUT WHAT MIGHT HAPPEN

IF WE CONTINUE TO LET HATRED
AND HOSTILITY GROW BETWEEN US.

* ALL HER MERCHANTS
STAND IN WONDER *

Medina: SOMETIMES, THERE ARE
THINGS THAT COME BACK.

AND THE IMAGES OF THE PEOPLE

FLOATING IN THE POOL,

THE -- THE KIDS...

[ Voice breaking ]
YOU CAN'T, UH...

YOU CAN'T ERASE.

SO LET'S WORK TOGETHER
TO PUT THIS EPISODE BEHIND US

AND BUILD A COMMUNITY BASED
ON MUTUAL TRUST AND RESPECT.

* MURMURING
LIKE DISTANT THUNDER *

THANK YOU.

* CRYING ALAS, ALAS *

* BABYLON IS FALLING *

* NEVER TO RISE NO MORE *

* NEVER TO RISE NO MORE *
