All language subtitles for American Crime Story 2x09 - The Assassination of Gianni Versace_ Alone

_

Dan Rather from CBS
News Headquarters in New York.

Good evening. Fashion designer

Gianni Versace was murdered today,

gunned down outside his mansion
in Miami Beach, Florida.

Versace was a fashion icon.

His empire spanned the worlds

of the famous and perhaps the infamous.

Investigators are probing

whether he was targeted
by organized crime

or perhaps a serial killer.

Our CBS News coverage of the death of

the designer begins
at the scene of the crime,

with CBS News correspondent Jim Axelrod.

The blood on the steps of
the most famous house in Miami Beach

belonged to one of
its most famous residents,

designer Gianni Versace,
murdered this morning.

I saw Gianni Versace laying face down

on his steps with his head blown
off, with his face shot off.

Execution-style, shot in the head

right on his steps...

The death of this famous idol and icon

reverberates greatly
through this small community

where Versace was a popular presence.

Police are now confirming

the suspect is a young man,
Andrew Cunanan.

An eyewitness describes
Cunanan approached Versace

- and fired two shots...
- Oh, my God.

at point blank range.

Mr. Versace collapsed immediately.

- The suspect then...
- Oh, my God.

Cunanan threatened him with a gun...

I'm Agent Reynolds from the FBI.

Mrs. Miglin?

What's happened?

- Can we come in?
- Is it that man?

It would be better if we spoke inside.

Are my children safe?

Your children are fine, ma'am.

AT 8:50 this morning,

Gianni Versace, the fashion designer,

was shot in Miami Beach.

We believe the killer is Andrew Cunanan.

The prime suspect
in your husband's murder.

When will this end?

Tell me.

When will this end?

We have over 300 agents
searching for him.

How many more are going to die?

How much more pain
do you think I can suffer?

Two months.

You had two months.

You had his name, his photo.

What did he have?
The money he stole from Lee?

What has he been doing for two months?

We don't know yet.

What have you been doing?

W-We've been looking for him.

And where is he now? That man.

I won't say his name.

Where is he now?

He evaded capture.

Uh, Mrs. Miglin, we think it best,

considering the proximity to the
murder, that you leave Florida.

We have a flight standing by.

I'm sorry.

What flight?

Cunanan might know
that you're filming here.

You want me to run?

You want me to hide from him?

You provide whatever security
you think necessary.

I have never missed a broadcast
in my life.

When I first started in television,

they gave me just 30 minutes
to make an impression.

I only needed 20 minutes to sell out.

Today, we are going to break
some more sales records.

I am so sorry.

I need it to stop.

Police named

alleged serial killer Andrew
Cunanan as their only suspect

in the execution-style murder

of world-famous
fashion designer Gianni Versace.

Cunanan is known to be a male prostitute

who services affluent clientele.

Cunanan is well-educated, well-dressed

and is very articulate.

Cunanan should be considered
extremely dangerous

and armed at this time.

Andrew Cunanan is already wanted

in connection with four murders.

He was recently added to
the FBI's Ten Most Wanted list.

Police did not specify

whether Versace knew his alleged killer.

Came as a shock to all.

His wife, Marilyn Miglin, gave a
statement regarding the matter.

What can you say about a man

you loved passionately for 38 years,

who exemplified courage and...

honor and dignity?

We had a fairy-tale marriage.

He was my prince.

Thank you.

Rumors swirled that it was perhaps

a hit by the Italian Mafia.

This is all too common

whenever something unexpected
happens in America,

or anywhere else in the world,
that involves

an influential Italian
such as Gianni Versace.

There's rampant speculation

that the so-called Black Hand
of the Mob is involved.

- But right now, they're watching...
- Oh, shit.

to see what U.S. authorities
are trying to do

to catch their prime suspect.

Versace was the genius behind...

Patience. Sit tight.

Shit!

You look a little lost.

Uh, yes, I am.

I'm not from around here.

There seems to be an awful lot
of traffic on these causeways.

Do you know if these other roads up here

are a little less congested?

Nah, there are police checkpoints

on every road off the island.

Police checkpoints?

They're looking for the man
who shot Versace.

Oh, yeah, yeah.

Andrew Cunanan.

It's terrible. I-I hope they catch him.

What's your name, young man?

Kurt. Kurt DeMars.

You've been very helpful.

I'll be sure to allow extra time.

Thank you, sir.

Andrew Cunanan,

the man who murdered
fashion designer Gianni Versace

yesterday in Miami,
has now become the subject

of one of the FBI's
largest manhunts of all time.

But Cunanan's beginnings were small.

Have you killed my son?

Regarding Andrew Cunanan,

the situation out here
has escalated as word spreads

that one of National
City's own is responsible

or accused of murdering Gianni Versace

and four other men in brutal killings

that have captivated national attention.

I'm standing outside the home

of Mary Anne Cunanan, here
in National City, California.

FBI agents are questioning her
for information

about her son
Andrew Cunanan's whereabouts.

Tell us, Mary Anne. Where is he?

Why did he do it?

- Back up.
- Look, look, look.

You think he's in Miami?

All right.

You lied to us, Ronnie.

- I didn't lie to you.
- We asked if you knew Andrew.

You said no, but Andrew stayed
here and you were friends.

He told me his name was Kurt.

I only this minute
saw his face on the news.

- I was just about to call you guys.
- All right, let's go.

Come on. Take him.

And we weren't friends.

He was hiding here for two months.

Hiding? He wasn't hiding.

So what was he doing?

- He was partying.
- Where?

Twist?

Warsaw Ballroom?

Oh, you were looking for him,
weren't you?

The only lez on the force?

Where's Cunanan now?

But the other cops, yeah,

they weren't searching so
hard, were they? Why is that?

Because he killed
a bunch of nobody gays?

Hey, we got over 400 agents
and detectives

searching for him right now.

Well, sure, yeah, now...
that he killed a celebrity.

- You're an accessory to murder.
- Oh, please.

Couldn't find a gay,
so now you're gonna blame a gay?

Whoa, whoa, you think this is a joke?

- This a joke to you?
- Is he a joke to you?

You think we don't want to catch him?

So he didn't talk about Versace?

He didn't stop talking about Versace.

Look, we all talked about him.

We all imagined what it would be like

to be so rich and so powerful that...

it doesn't matter that you're gay.

You know what the truth is?

It's that you were disgusted by him

long before he became disgusting.

You're so used to us
lurking in the shadows,

and, you know, most of us, we oblige.

People like me,
we just, we-we drift away.

We get sick, no-nobody cares.

But Andrew was vain.

He wanted you to know about his pain.

He wanted you to hear. He wanted you...

he wanted you to know
about being born a lie.

Andrew is not hiding.

He's trying to be seen.

Guillermo, are you there?

Guillermo?

Didn't know you were
taking her out today.

Ahoy?

Guillermo?

Honey.

Honey, call the cops.

The question remains: did
Andrew Cunanan know Gianni Versace?

Who is Andrew Cunanan?

To help us, we turn
to his closest friend,

Lizzie Cote.

Andrew, I wrote this statement

on behalf of your family and myself.

These past few months,
you have been portrayed

as a horrible and despicable person.

But I just want you to know
that I remember

and know who you really are,
and I love you, unconditionally.

The Andrew Cunanan that I know
is not a violent person.

I know that the most important
thing to you in the world

is what others think of you.

You still have a chance
to show the entire world

the side of you that I
and your godchildren know.

The time has come
for this to end, peacefully.

Jeff Trail was brutally murdered

in David Madson's apartment.

Madson then goes on the run

with the now notorious killer
of Versace, Andrew Cunanan.

What was the connection, though,

between Cunanan and Madson?

Were they lovers?

What did those men do
on the road together?

We looked deeper at this
dark and disturbing mystery

of their days on the road.

Welcome back. With us now from
his home is Mr. Howard Madson.

Howard, thank you so much
for being here.

Mr. Madson, do you have any idea at all

what happened
after the murder of Jeff Trail?

My son is innocent.

He's a victim of a brutal murder.

And to have a cloud of suspicion
hanging over him,

it's devastating.

That's why I want the killer
to give himself up

and tell the world
David did nothing wrong.

The police won't... it's destroying us.

But, sir, if David's truly innocent,

why didn't he run away?

Why did he leave with Mr. Cunanan?

Because...

because he didn't know
evil like this could exist.

He must have...

David must have thought
he could... stop him.

But he didn't know how,
so he went with him.

My son's a good man.

My son was a good man.

I'd like to
introduce you to item 11-06281,

an immaculate crystal recreation

of a narrow-necked Ming dynasty vase.

Well, yes, and also no.

And if you're already enticed,
pick up your phone and call...

Pick up the phone, give us a call.

You know you want this
to decorate your home.

Ladies, thank you so much.

Now, Marilyn, you said to me earlier

that you consider this perfume

to be one of your
finest creations to date.

Terry, my most personal. It is.

Now, what does that mean exactly,

when you say a fragrance is "personal"?

Well, I...

I always wanted
to make a perfume for my mother.

Just not in honor of her...

- Okay.
- but an actual gift

that I would give her
if I could go back in time.

You see, Terry, my father died
when I was just 11 years old.

- That's so sad. I didn't know.
- Oh, please.

Well, he-he was a very kind man,

and, um, he was a wonderful storyteller.

He would invent all kinds of stories

to entertain my friends
when they would come round.

Not soppy stories for girls, but...

things that were scary
and thrilling and...

W-We... we loved him very much.

And suddenly my father
was taken from us.

Life was never the same without him.

My mother had to work long hours
just to make ends meet.

And even though I was young...

I had to get a job.

And my mother always felt
terribly guilty about that.

Of course, she had no extra
money for luxuries of any kind.

So...

I imagine going back in time...

and telling her...

"Here's something that I made for you."

"The kind of perfume
my father would have given you"

"for your birthday."

"As a way of saying
how special you are."

Marilyn, what a beautiful story.

- Oh, thank you.
- For a beautiful perfume.

And to our wonderful home shoppers...

Oi! Modesto!

- Hmm?
- You have a call.

Another interview request?

How much do you think
I should charge this time?

It's... it's Andrew.

Andrew?

Andrew?

Don't cry.

Please don't cry.

Men don't cry, remember?

Dad, I'm in trouble.

And I need help.

I need help. I need you to come get me.

I'll fly over right away.

There might still be some
outstanding charges against me,

but... but so what? Huh?

As soon as I put this phone down,

I'll be on my way.

- Where are you?
- I'm still in Miami.

- Okay.
- I'm in a houseboat.

On 54th Street and...

- Collins Avenue.
- I'll be there.

24 hours.

I'm coming. Do you hear me?

I will find you, and I will hug you.

And I will hold you in my arms.

Like I used to.

And it will all be okay.

You promise?

I promise!

Now, pack some clothes,

stay out of sight, and wait for me.

You be ready to leave
as soon as I arrive.

Your time is up.

- Please deposit 25 cents for 4 minutes.
- I'm out of time.

I'll be there soon. Do you hear me?

Andrew? I'll be there soon.

Miami police
have stated that their best hope

for catching Cunanan may be
that someone will spot him.

And the FBI is using
their mighty manpower

to check train and airplane records

looking for single, young, Caucasian men

who purchased one-way tickets with cash

within 12 hours of
Versace's murder. Miami...

Do you believe your son is innocent?

Of course he's innocent.

My son is not, and has
never been, a homosexual.

That is a slur.

Maybe there were some older men
who manipulated him.

And the murders?

You never saw my son?

He was a... a perfect boy.

The most special child I ever saw.

The idea that he could be a killer

makes me angry.

Have you been in contact with Andrew?

Yes. He phones me regularly.

- Since the murders took place?
- Sure. Yes.

Last night, he called me.

- You know where he is?
- All I can say

is that he's evaded the police again.

He's far too clever for them.
He's a genius.

They'll never catch him.

What did you discuss?

The movie rights to his life story.

I'm acting as the broker,

calling Hollywood from here in Manila.

Andrew was very particular
about the title.

Can you share it?

A Name to Be Remembered By.

Andrew made me promise.

That had to be the title, no other.

We're in, uh, early discussions
with several studios.

But you can't travel
because of the charges against you.

Those charges are bogus.

But that's okay. I can make the...

_

_

My brother should be alive.

If everybody had done their job,
he would be alive.

I heard the shot, that morning,

and I knew.

Before I ran out, I knew.

Because my heart stopped.

I'm sure your heart is broken, too.

But you have each other.

I had him.

I only had him.

What will you do now, Antonio?

I'm going to stay in Lake Como.

As I'm sure you know, Gianni arranged
so I can stay in one of the houses.

I just want, I just want
to stay close to him.

Gianni doesn't own any of the houses.

I don't understand.

He spent too much money.

The company was forced to take
possession of all the properties.

They are controlled
by the board of Versace.

You should go to Lake Como
after the funeral.

Take some time, relax, recover.

And after that?

Today is the day for saying good-bye.

We start a new life, both of us.

And that's it for me now?

I cannot be thrown away
like a piece of trash.

I loved him, Donatella.

He was my life.

And suddenly I don't matter?

I don't have a home?

I have no rights? I have nothing.

As I explained to you,

the houses, the finances,

they are controlled by the board.

You have a say.

I'm sorry for your loss.

I'm sorry for all of us.

It's not true. It's not possible.

Because, uh, you know,

when you see a man, 50 years old,

healthy, happy, lucky,

and you, and you hear that this man...

died suddenly, and we didn't know why,

we didn't know the reason.

Versace was referred to as
the master of glamour and glitz,

and he found massive success

by dressing his clothes
on the rich and beautiful.

"A man in search
of the essence of beauty"

is how he was described
by Princess Diana,

who often wore his creations.

Versace's memorial will be held
inside Milan's iconic Duomo.

Those in attendance will remember.

Versace's favorite quote
from a Russian author:

"Beauty will save the world."

All the guests, including
Princess Diana and Elton John,

are now inside for the funeral
of Gianni Versace.

In nomine Patris et Filii
et Spiritus Sancti.

Amen.

The loss of Gianni Versace
has been felt around the world.

But let us not forget the man himself.

He leaves behind a family:

his older brother, Santo,

his younger sister, Donatella.

Their love for him was incomparable.

To these people...

those closest to him,

his loved ones...

we offer our prayers.

Let us pray.

? The Lord is my shepherd ?

? I shall not want ?

? He maketh me ?

? To lie down in green pastures ?

? He leadeth me ?

? Beside the still waters ?

? Yea, though I walk ?

? Through the valley
of the shadow of death ?

? I will fear no evil ?

? Yea, though I walk ?

? Through the valley
of the shadow of death ?

? I will fear no evil ?

? For you are with me ?

? You will comfort me ?

? You are with me ?

? You will comfort me ?

? Comfort me ?

? And I will dwell ?

? In the house ?

? Of the Lord forever ?

? Forever ?

The Miami Police Department

has reason to believe that
Cunanan is still in the area.

- We're working together with the FBI.
- Uh-huh.

and doing everything we can to find him.

No. I-I take care of it.

No. It's no problem.

Is anybody here?

I am armed.

54th Street and Collins.

We have an occupied burglary.
Location is a houseboat.

All units, shut down traffic
on Collins immediately.

Occupied burglary.

Location is a houseboat.

We're interrupting our current program

to bring you a live update in
the hunt for Versace's killer.

Reports are coming in that
law enforcement in Miami Beach

have cordoned off a houseboat
on the Indian Creek canal

and that a standoff

is currently in progress.

Law enforcement has blocked off
access on both sides

of Collins Avenue,

creating a perimeter.

SWAT and FBI agents
are on scene, as well,

to assess and assist in the situation.

For more on this developing
story, we go live to Miami Beach.

If you're just tuning in,

we are here on 54th and Collins Avenue,

where we believe suspected killer.

Andrew Cunanan has been hiding out.

I'm reporting live at Collins Avenue,

where police have taken
extraordinary measure,

shutting down the street
and blocking traffic.

As you can see
behind me, there's much interest

in a baby blue houseboat
located on the Indian Creek.

- I've never seen anything quite
like this, -

as police, marine patrol, and the FBI

are all coordinating together.

With this extreme show
of force, we can't help but...

the alleged Versace killer,

Andrew Cunanan, is in that houseboat.

Mr. Cunanan, this is the police.

We just want to talk.

Please be calm.

I repeat, we just want to talk.

We know you're in there,
and we can help.

Hold the position.
Wait for the green light.

Just hold the position. Stand by.

I'm reporting live from Collins Avenue,

where my sources say
all attempts to communicate

with the fugitive seems to have failed.

Snipers are in position, ready to react

in the event that Mr. Cunanan

makes yet another run for flight.

Stay with us as we give you
comprehensive coverage

of the siege at Indian Creek.

Who nearly became his roommate,

says he can't fathom the violence.

Gay and lesbian
newspaper society columnist

Nicole Ramirez-Murray says
Cunanan had rich boyfriends

and was a known gigolo,
a man who loved the spotlight.

At Bishop's, a private school
in the affluent La Jolla area,

Cunanan was voted
Most Likely to be Remembered.

Acquaintances and friends
remember Andrew Cunanan

as an affable young man,
not as a serial killer

from the FBI's Ten Most Wanted list.

We are live at the police perimeter,

where they have reinforced all sides.

Now, authorities are hoping
that he is alone

and that he is looking to surrender.

He sees everything.

He's not coming out.

Cut the power.

Shields are up...

Deploy smoke now. Now.

I'm so happy right now.

What if...

you had a dream your whole life
that you were someone special...

but no one believed it?

Not... not really.

They'd smile at you and say,
"Oh, sure, sure."

And then, what if

the first person
that truly believed you...

was the most incredible
person you'd ever met?

But it's not about persuading people

that you're going to do something great.

It's about doing it.

You have to finish your novel.

Or something else.

Do you think I could be a designer?

A designer?

I know literally everything
there is to know about fashion.

Maybe I could assist you
or-or be your prot�g�?

I'm not looking for an assistant.

But being here...

like this, with-with you, it...

it feels like destiny.

Why can't you feel it?

Andrew. Andrew.

One day you'll understand why I said no.

It's not because
I don't find you attractive.

I invited you here

because you're
a very interesting young man.

I want you to... to be inspired by this,

to be nourished by tonight.

If we kissed...

you may doubt it.

We could go get dinner t...
uh, tomorrow.

I could... I could take you to Stars.

We could talk some more about my novel.

I wish.

But I leave San Francisco soon,
and it's...

There's so much to do.

Another night.

Another stage.

Yes?

Is it him?

It's him.

What you expected?

He's just a boy.

Yeah.

It's over.

You caught him?

He's dead. He shot himself.

Good.

It's over.

Marilyn?

Are you okay?

We receive hundreds of letters
each month from viewers.

And since my husband's death,

I started to receive letters about him.

Often from people I-I don't know,

I've never heard of,

whose lives were touched
by Lee in some way.

He-he supported this family when
they got into financial trouble.

He helped this young man's career.

He-he paid their bills
when they couldn't.

And he never...

told me.

About any of it.

Why...

didn't he ever tell me?

I reply to every letter.

I thank them for their
kind words about my husband,

and...

I tell them that he's alive
in their letters...

and that I'm...

so very proud of him.

Signore.

Donatella.

The lawyers are here.

I have to tell you something.

On the morning Gianni was killed,

he called me.

I was in Rome preparing for that show.

He was up early in Miami,

wanting to know every little detail.

He couldn't just let me do it alone.

When I ended the call, I was annoyed.

I had the show under control.
I didn't need his help.

So, when he called back
30 minutes later...

I didn't answer.

I ignored his call.

I ignored his call.

No, no, no!
