I wanted to believe.

I wanted to believe there was a time

before the killing started,

that there was a moment
when he could have stopped.

He could have stopped

and so many people could have been saved.

I wanted to believe,

but that's assuming he was something else.

Before he became a monster,

that he was someone else

before he became Ted Bundy.

Oh, shit.

Please remain in your vehicle.

10-2010-20, 10, 10.

Step out of the car, sir.

I'm not gonna ask you twice.

E-28, into the gas station.

There's 127.

You know who I am?

Hello?

Is this Ann rule?

Yeah

what time is it?

Pensacola police department.

We have someone here who'd
like to speak to you.

Ann, you there?

Yeah, I'm here.

It's me, Ted.

Yeah well, I have to tell you

that doesn't sound like
an emergency, honey.

It sounds like the flu

well, it's
making me really depressed.

Well, the flu gives me the blues, too.

Can you hold on a second?

Crisis clinic?

Who am I talking to?

Yeah, hang on one second, please.

Line two. - Okay.

- Hi, it's me.
- Crisis center.

- I think I'm in
- Yeah, so I just think

- a little bit of trouble.
- You need to take a hot bath

and call your doctor in the morning

and get a good night's sleep.
I just wanted to sleep.

I took something, but I still
know no one really cares.

- Yeah, I understand.
- It doesn't really matter.

- Well, sure it does.
- Bye.

I think it matters

my name's Ted, what's yours?

Sally.

Well, hey, I love that name.

I have a cousin named Sally.

Oh, you're lying.

No, no, no, no lie.

She was the original long tall Sally.

Cross my heart.

And hope to die?

No, no, Sally, no one
is dying tonight, okay?

Look, I need you to tell me what you took.

Seattle police department.

Hi, this is

the crisis clinic.
My boyfriend's gone.

- We have a possible o.D.
- He lied to me.

I'll connect
you to emergency services.

Yeah, well, you know, hey,
Sally, I, not two hours ago,

I went round and round with my girlfriend.

She dumped me, you know,

so I know how you feel.
Have they picked up yet?

I'm still holding.

- Yeah?
- We're still waiting

to get the trace.
Well, you wanna see a movie?

- That's it.
- Shouldn't be long now.

That's it, Sally, you have to,

we just have to move on, don't we?

Now tell me, tell me what you took.

Can you just do that?

Can you tell me what you took?

Sally?

Sally?

Sally?

We've dispatched a unit

to 72 Hartford Avenue.
Sally, can you hear me?

Okay, they got a trace.

Paramedics are on the way.

Well, I'm not sure
she's gonna make it, Ann.

Sally, listen to me.

Can you hear me?

This is Ted, this is your friend Ted.

Sally, you promised me a movie.

We can go see a matinee at the Neptune.

Sally?

Do you hear that?

Sally, stay awake now.

I don't want you to go to sleep.

There are people coming.

They're gonna help you.

Can you, Sally, can you hear me?

We're in.

- Sally!
- There she is!

Female,
approximately 30 years old,

faint radial pulse, BP 80 over 50.

Hey, you guys still on?

Yeah

yeah, we're here.

She'll be okay.

We're gonna transport her to the hospital.

Good save.

These were great.

Oh, you read them all?

Well, yeah.

How many published authors
can I count as a friend?

Of course, I read them all.

It's not exactly Shakespeare,

but it puts food on the table

if I throw in enough adjectives.

You write like Truman
capote if he'd been a cop.

Do you need
3 side of bacon with that?

- Do you miss it?
- Being a cop, yeah.

I mean, I'll always miss it.

But I get my fix doing this now.

Did I say something funny?

Well, yeah. I mean,
you used to be a cop.

You write crime fiction

you work on a suicide prevention hotline.

I'd say you have a pretty
healthy taste for the macabre.

It's true.

You know, every time a siren
goes by, my heart rate jumps.

You too?

I think it's Karma we met

you know, I'd better go.

Leslie is gonna wake up soon.

I thought your ex-husband
had her weekends.

So did I

so did she.

Ted, when you talked about
Victoria on the phone,

was it true?

Well, it wasn't much of a fight.

She broke up with me.

I stood there

that's 'cause you were listening to me

and I had no idea what
the hell was going on.

I'm sorry.

Victoria's always been out of my league.

Don't you go changing for anybody.

Oh, we'll meet again.

I'll make something of myself.

I don't doubt it

hey, I'll see you Tuesday.

- Okay.
- Okay, bye.

Girl's name was Kay
munson, 15 years old.

Told her friend she was
running away to Oregon.

Man driving a truck picks her up.

How long ago was that?

Two weeks

two days ago, her body was found

on a riverbank near
Olympia badly decomposed.

Did you check all the bars

and liquor stores off the interstate?

In progress.

Guys like these usually
need to get drunk.

You'll do the usual?

Look at the file reports,
the autopsy findings?

Write up a narrative for the d.A.?

Mm-hmm, and no magazine
pieces 'til the case goes cold.

Or until we nail the son of a bitch.

Give me a little credit, will you?

I give you
the credit you deserve.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

We gotta do something about
this goddamned hitchhiking.

Kids stick out their thumb
and get in a car with anybody.

Open season for psychopaths.

Mom?

I'm gonna go with Audrey
to Samantha's house.

Will there be boys there?

Yeah, and lots of drugs.

It's gonna be an orgy.

Sounds like fun, be home by 10.

How old was she?

Who?

The girl who got killed.

How do you know
someone got killed?

You closed the drawer, mom.

I heard you talking on
the phone with dick.

I'm not an idiot

you know, you should go have fun.

This isn't anything
you should think about.

This isn't anything
I want to think about.

Doesn't it bother you?

Yes.

God, yes, it bothers me.

Then why do it?

I don't know, baby.

I mean, I come from a family of cops.

I was a cop.

Yeah, well, you're not a cop anymore.

Once a cop, always a cop.

You're weird, mom.

- Leslie?
- Yeah?

Remember what you promised?

No hitchhiking.

Oh, but what if he's
really cute?

She was 15.

Sorry, mom.

Be safe, I love you.

I love you, too.

Go have fun.

Thanks, bye.

Bye.

Oh, I need somebody, all right.

Boo!

Ted?

In the flesh.

I mean, what is this thing?

Your message was kind of vague.

Oh, it's a fundraiser.

I arranged it, what do you think?

I think you've changed.

I mean, look at you.

You look like a, um.

A republican?

You can say it, it's not a dirty word.

- Ted?
- Governor?

Yes, can I speak to you
in a few minutes, please?

Well, yes, sir, of course.

Governor, I'd like you to meet Ann rule.

She's a writer.

- A writer?
- Nice to meet you.

Hi, Ann, nice to meet you.

Ted. - Yes, sir, right away.

That was the governor.

Yes, it was.

How does it happen so fast?

Well, I volunteered for
the reelection committee

and then the governor needed
a driver, so I got the job.

You know, he got to like me and.

Horatio alger would love you.

Hey.

Oh, this is perfect.

You're the only two
people here who know me.

Ann rule, this is margo.

Margo, meet Ann.

- Hi, nice to meet you.
- Hi.

Oh, honey, I thought
you forgot about me.

How could I forget about you, huh?

I'll be back, I swear.

Oh, here's Ted.

I'm a big fan.

So you're Ted's famous Ann rule?

Please.

No, really, Ted, he talks
about you all the time.

He reads and rereads your stories.

You're like some kind
of touchstone for him.

I've never seen him so happy.

Really?

Wow, you know, that's really nice to hear.

We're talking about getting married.

Thanks.

We need to set up a women's late lunch.

It's hard to believe
how much he's changed.

Hello?

We've got more
missing girls, Ann.

How many?

Six, all college
age, all attractive

and five of them simply
vanished from their campuses.

I heard about a couple of these,

but when did this escalate?

Oh, it's been like
clockwork, one a month.

And we've been trying
to keep it low profile,

but we just can't keep
a lid on it anymore.

Any more bodies?

One qirl.

There was blood on her bed,
blood on her nightgown,

but her bed was made

and her nightgown was
hung up in the closet.

A neat freak.

Or he was trying to delay

the discovery of his crime.

We're assuming she's dead?

No, no, a jogger found
her body last week.

Next?

Another girl was found in her bed beaten

and raped with a metal rod.

God!

She's been in a coma for a week.

The doctors say she's gonna recover.

Can she l.D. The rapist?

She was unconscious when it happened.

You ever see anything like this?

If it's the same killer,
except for Albert desalvo,

no, I don't think there's ever been

anything quite like this.

Well, great.

We've got our own Boston strangler.

So what do you wanna do today?

I need to do some work at the library.

But it's Saturday.

I know, I'm sorry.

It's okay, isn't it, if we
don't spend the day together?

Yeah, yeah, I guess.

Okay.

Can I have you tonight?

Of course, I promise.

excuse me?

Hi, how are you?

Fine

listen, I was wondering
if you could help me.

I've got a dead battery up here.

And I have cables,

but I don't know anyone who lives nearby.

Yeah?

Well, if it's an
inconvenience I mean, I can get

somebody else to help.
Where's your car?

It's just up ahead.

My name's Ted, what's yours?

Katie

Katie?

Wow, I love that name.

I got a niece named Katie.

This 1s me right here.

Yeah, it died on me last night.

It's been here ever since

so you slept in the car last night?

Oh, no.

No, I have a friend who
lives a few blocks from here.

But you said you didn't
know anybody around here.

You want me to wait here
while you get your car?

Yeah, do that.

This is it just up
here. So can you help me?

Uh, sure.

I'll bring my car around.

- Yeah?
- Yeah

thank you.

So what happened
to your arm, Ted?

Oh, it was a sailing accident.

Stupid.

I've never
been sailing. Is it fun?

Oh, yeah, it's great fun.

Never been sailing?

You should try it sometime.

My granddad used to sail on a tall ship.

You know what a tall ship is?

Uh no, actually, I don't.

Square rig masts and everything?

Hey. - Hey.

You haven't eaten, have you?

I am starving.

Are you hungry?

Yeah, yeah, I could eat.

Corkscrew.

These are beautiful. Did
you get a lot done today?

I'm sorry?

I said, well, did you have a good day?

Yeah, I had a great day.

Dance with me

mm. - Mm.

So what are we celebrating?

Just being alive.

Mm.

Seattle police are baffled

as to how a young woman

at downtown's popular
east lake racquet center

could vanish without a
trace in broad daylight.

I am going to be

so late, mom.
The latest victim brings

the total of missing women.

Have you been following what's going on?

I mean, do you watch the news?

Do you talk to your friends about this?

No, we're all feather heads.

We just yammer about who's got
the biggest butt at school.

I will drive you.

When?

I ater

I am going to be on the bus, mother.

Look, you have to wait for a bus.

You have to get off of a bus.

Okay, but, I'm not going
downtown to play tennis.

I'm going to see dad.
I could drive you right now

if you'd given me notice,

but you didn't, so you wait.

Well, what am I supposed
to do? Just sit in my room?

Dad's waiting for me!

Calm down, will you?

I mean, call him.

You know, have him pick you up.

I'm fine with that.

Uh, bad timing?

Jack the ripper's roaming the highways

and my daughter's insisting
on going out alone.

Ann, I hardly think it's that bad.

Thank you, Ted.

See?

Though your mother does know something

about the criminal element.

Yeah, lucky me.

Detective mom

I'm gonna go call dad.

Stay, have lunch with us.

You want coffee?

Uh, yeah.

You know those girls
are probably hanging out

in a cult somewhere getting stoned.

Those girls are dead and buried.

I brought candy.

Oh, thanks.

What happened to your hand?

Oh, I sliced it on a
knife the other night.

It bled all over my dinner.

One of those girls
went to Leslie's school

you're kidding, which one?

Renee singleton, graduated
two years ahead of her.

Oh, wow.

You know, I didn't mean to
make light of your fears.

Leslie does fit the type.

She has long, straight hair.

Pretty, intelligent, slender.

You've done your homework.

Well, I'm consulting with the taskforce,

writing up a narrative
for the d a's office.

Taskforce?

Well, that sounds like a big deal.

Well, eight girls are dead.

It couldn't be a bigger deal.

Well, I don't know.

Could be 10 or 20.

I mean, it would be a bigger
deal with each murder,

wouldn't it?

Or does it become routine?

You're joking?

No, no, I...

Try joking,

you have a daughter in
the killer's bull's eye.

Try joking.

Oh, nothing's gonna happen to Leslie.

It could happen to any
young girl anytime, anywhere.

Ann, listen to me.

I'm telling you, nothing
will happen to Leslie.

Normally, this place is packed.

Now everyone's avoiding
it like the plague.

Good.

Might save a few lives.

You know, at least
3 dozen women came forward

saying some guy approached them.

You know, you don't have to be here.

I can walk a crime scene by myself.

Well, I need a fresh point of view.

Oh.

So he tried to pick up more girls

than the two who are missing.

Uh-huh

and they just got right into his car?

They say he's a good-looking
guy, a real charmer.

The place was packed, broad daylight.

Any bolder, he'd have to wear a sign.

Yeah, he used the same name
with everyone he talked to,

but it can't be his real name, Ted.

No, that'd be too much to hope for.

Uh, well, I was tweaking the
article for the next issue.

Ann, how many words in your articles?

Um, about 5,000, why?

Mm, 5,000, may I?

Sure, but only one.

They're for Leslie and her friends.

- Ow.
- Oh

okay, 5,000.

How would you like to
try writing something,

say, 30 times that amount?

You're kidding.

I'm an agent.

I don't have a sense of humor.

Well, you know I'd like to write a book.

I mean, you know that.

But I don't think I have a subject

that's gonna fill 400 pages.

Well, your subject is
all over your office.

You been covering the
missing girls since day one.

Yeah, but I don't think
that story has the notoriety

a no-name writer needs to sell a book

hm, no, huh?

And I hope it never does.

Well, Norton thinks it could
be the biggest crime story

to hit the west coast
since the donner party.

Yeah, but they'd never sign off on me.

Well, they already have.

Joe?

Okay.

There's a couple of catches.

The advance is small, teeny tiny.

It's 1,500 bucks.

It might as well be a million.

And they'll only publish

if there's an arrest and conviction.

So what do you say?

Have a cookie?

Have two

talk about killing two
birds with one stone.

Help us catch us a killer and get rich?

You think I'm only
doing this to get rich?

Ann, it was a joke.

I hope both things happen.

What's with the vws?

That's our guy.

When he was at the racquet
club, he drove a vdub.

I have a friend whose name's Ted.

He drives a vw

and he looks a little
like the police sketch.

So what's your friend Ted do?

Uh, he's on governor Evans's staff.

I met him when I worked
the suicide hotline.

Is he a good guy?

He's a great guy.

But these,

these are a lot of coincidences.

Ann, there are hundreds
of men with the name Ted,

who drive a vw within a 100-mile radius.

But they don't all resemble the sketch.

Is he on the list?

Wait a minute.

We agreed that the killer
wouldn't use his real name, right?

Right.

So right off the bat, we
know it's highly unlikely

that his name 1s Ted

right, I'd like to see the list, please.

What's your friend's last name?

Bundy.

To the most successful true crime writer

since Truman capote.

Let me finish the first book.

Hi

- Hello.
- Hey.

- Hi.
- Ann rule.

I'm sorry, I keep forgetting you guys

don't know each other

Ann, this is Kelly Parker.

We work together.

Well, you deserve a toast today.

Ted was just accepted
at law school in Utah.

Well, congratulations.

What about margo?

I thought you guys were gonna get married.

Oh, her family's from Utah.

She'll visit.

It's really, it's kind of
perfect if you think about it.

Well, Ann, Ted was
telling me about your book.

That's great.

Great opportunity, tragic subject.

It's only the greatest murder
spree since Jack the ripper.

You have to document it

I'd rather catch who's doing it.

You have any theories
on who this guy is?

He's someone women
don't feel threatened by,

but who's probably threatened by them.

He's college educated.

- Yeah, he's smart, [...
- I didn't say that.

A diploma does not a genius make.

He hasn't left a shred of evidence.

The bodies are evidence

and there're dozens of
people ready to identify him.

If the cops ever catch him.

The guy's evaded detection for months.

The taskforce is going down the list.

Well, it's a big list, even I'm on it.

You, and a thousand others.

Is that true?

Yeah

well, cops even talked to me.

My name's Ted, I drive a red vw.

You're a suspect?

He's a person of interest.

I am an interesting person.

Hell, I should be the number one suspect.

Then why don't you come down

and take a lie detector test then?

Oh, you guys.

Come on, Ted.

Ann's gonna think you're serious.

Oh, nonsense.

We're just two old friends
goofing around, right, Ann?

How's your hand, Ted?

It's fine.

Healed up perfectly.

Not even a scar

Second floor.

- Really?
- Inside.

Excuse me, miss, did
you park on lock street?

Yes, why?

Ah, well, we've had several break-ins.

What kind of car do you drive?

A mustang.

Oh, jeez.

A mustang was one of the
cars that was broken into.

- Oh, you're kidding me!
- Yes, yes.

I'm sorry about this.

It happens a lot these days.

We've had three break-ins
the last week alone.

So you're a police officer?

Uh, yeah.

We don't have to hurry.

I mean, it's not like they're
making a getaway or anything.

Did you leave your car unlocked?

Yeah, I always do.

Stupid, huh?

No, no, I think it's sweet.

You know, it shows you're trusting.

It's kind of refreshing.

You know, you don't
look like a cop to me.

Well, that's because I'm under cover.

So I guess I should
ask you for some l.D.?

Well, I should have
done that from the top.

Officer roseland.

Okay, there's my car.

Ah.

- There you go.
- I should stop leaving

my doors unlocked.

Oh, I don't know what
the world's coming to

when people can't leave
their doors unlocked.

Nice car

I don't see anything missing.

Well, we'll have to go
down to the station anyway

and fill out a report.

I didn't see anything.

It's procedure, really.

It'll just take five minutes.

Just down on state street

we'll take my car.

That's your car?

Yeah, do me a favor,
when we get to the station,

will you not tell anyone

that I forgot to identify myself?

That's the kind of thing, you know,

you can get suspended for

and I can't afford for that to happen.

My wife is due in two weeks.

It's our first.

I'm hoping to have a girl.

Okay.

Do you have a name picked out?

Oh, too many names, too many names.

What's your name?

Julie

Julie?

No kidding, that's on our list.

Oh, bull.

No, no, no lie.

I have a cousin named Julie

it's a great name.

You in school?

I work for the phone company.

Hey.

I think you're going the wrong way.

Can I ask you a
personal question, Julie?

The police station is on state street

and it's, you passed it.

How often does your boyfriend
tell you you're beautiful?

My boyfriend?

Stop the car.

Stop the car!

What are you doing?

Come here!

No!

No!

Let me go!

Someone!

Help me!

Oh!

Help me!

Help!

Help me!

Wait!

Stop!

Stop your car!

Stop, stop your car!

Way to go, Ted.

That was just so stupid!

Screw it, look at yourself!

=

Uh, I have a dead battery out here.

I was wondering if you could
help me with jumper cables.

Sorry, no.

My boyfriend's waiting for me.

Well, it would just...

I'm really late.

It would just take a minute.

- Hey.
- Hi

- yeah.
- Yeah.

- God!
- Oh!

I can't believe we're starting.

We were good.

Oh! Oh no!

- See ya.
- Bye.

Bye bye.

Yeah.

Hi

Hi.

Tell me you have jumper cables.

What kind of an idiot
doesn't have jumper cables?

You're looking at him.

Hey, mom.

Oh, honey, I've got
some bad news for you.

It's about Renee singleton.

I'm sorry, baby, I'm just so sorry.

Where did they find her?

Near cougar mountain
with three other girls.

They found four bodies?

All at once? - Yeah

mom, who would do this?

I don't know, baby.

828 at third and western.

Oh, I'm sorry, officer, I was just...

Let me see your
license and registration.

13 a, 61, 13 a, 61.

Thanks, 25, 14.

You having car trouble?

Oh, no, no.

I just, I must have taken
a wrong turn somewhere,

so I stopped to get my bearings

- uh-huh.
- And, um.

What were
you doing this evening?

I was on my way home.

I had seen a film at the redwood.

I saw towering inferno...

Mind if I have a look
in your car, Mr. Bundy?

No, go ahead.

I'm not sure.

It was a few days ago.

I was really scared.

Just look at him, Julie.

Watch his face, how he moves.

Take your time.

Wait, that's him.

I can see it now.

You're sure?

Yes, I'm sure.

Ted, you want to tell us

why you got burglary tools
in the back of your car?

I am not a burglar.

Those are just things I
keep around the house.

A mask, a crowbar, handcuffs?

Either you're robbing houses
or you're a sex freak.

Which is it?

Iamin law

I'm a law student

and I know the law.

It's not a crime to have that stuff.

Mm-hmm.

What were you doing when
officer Floyd found you?

I told officer Floyd.

I told you.

I'd seen the towering
inferno at the redwood,

I got lost on the way home,
I stopped to get my bearings.

- Ted?
- Yeah?

The towering inferno wasn't
playing at the redwood.

We checked you for priors
with the Seattle police.

They sent us something interesting.

We know about the dead

and missing girls in
Washington and Oregon.

You want to explain those?

No, do you?

And now we got three
missing girls here in Utah.

Laurie Nussbaum, Susan
Wayne, Joan Raymond.

Look at their pictures, Ted.

I ook at 'em!

I do not go around
abducting young women.

You can ask Dan fvans

he's the governor of
the state of Washington.

I used to be his personal aide.

I'd rather ask Julie Wyatt.

And who is she?

She's the woman you tried to kidnap.

She had handcuffs on.

We found keys in your car and guess what?

They fit the cuffs.

This is sick

these accusations against me...

No, you know what's sick, Ted?

The night you failed to grab Julie Wyatt,

vou still had to get your fix

and you went after
another girl, Susan Wayne,

the same night, Ted.

That's sick, not this.

You

late night and
early morning low clouds

and it'll be partly sunny
through next Thursday.

And now for the national news.

Theodore Robert
Bundy, former Seattle resident,

has been arrested in Utah on charges

of attempted kidnapping.

Investigators believe
Bundy could be responsible

for a string of kidnappings
and murders stretching

- mom?
- From Washington state

to Utah and Colorado.

The remains of four girls

were discovered near cougar mountain

last night.
Mom, is that our Ted?

One of the
girls was abducted last year.

Seattle's police. But, you know,

I can't match the man I know with...

Ann, Ann, he did it, all right?

Just make the adjustment and move on.

He was in my home.

He knows my daughter, you know?

I mean, he was sitting right
here where you're sitting.

I see him in every room.

Mom, I'll get it!

No, it's okay, honey, I'm here.

Hello?

Ann?

It's me, Ted.

Ann, are you there?

Ann?

Yeah, Ted, I'm here.

I'm in a little bit of trouble.

I heard.

It's on the news in Seattle?

It's nationwide, you're infamous.

Well, they have blown this
thing all out of proportion.

I mean, Ann, they think I
killed all these young girls

and you know me.

I would never, I, I wouldn't hurt a fly.

And this attempted kidnapping charge?

I mean, the woman who ID'd me,

she made a mistake, Ann.

She said my eyes were blue.

They're not, they're Hazel.

I mean, obviously, obviously,
the police pressured her

and it was an illegal search of my car.

There's no question.

Ann?

Ann, are you there? - Uh-huh.

You sound tired, what's wrong?

We're getting by.

You know, a nickel a word.

And how is the book coming?

Have you seen a lawyer yet?

Ann?

You believe me, right?

You know I'm not capable of
these things they say I did.

It's important to me
that my friends believe.

Ann?

I'm still your friend, Ted.

I know I can trust you.

I knew I could

I know it's gonna be okay.

I'm gonna get out of here,
and then I'll come see you.

I gotta drop the book.

Okay, one word.

Contract!

Two words, binding contract!

No, Joe, everything's changed.

Yeah, I know, for the better.

I mean, Ann, how great is this?

What, that a friend of mine's
probably a mass murderer?

It's paradise.

No, the opportunity to write something

with this kind of angle.

Little did she know that the prime suspect

in the series of brutal murders

would turn out to be her good friend.

It's never been done

yeah, it's exploitative.

That's why it's never been done.

You're damn right it is, and
it's gonna make your career!

Okay.

You wanna keep writing in
these piss-poor detective rags,

scraping to get by?

Not the point.

You wanna send Leslie to college?

Not the point!

Are you hustling them
for a bigger advance?

No! I just, I don't know. No, because

it's a good tactic. No I'm not.

I mean, that I can understand!

I'm scared, all right?

I'm scared

I know

but, Ann, you are the
only person in the world

who can write this book

and if you don't, I can
goddamn guarantee you

you are gonna regret it.

Since Bundy's arrest in Utah,

we've been able to focus our
investigation here in Seattle.

Four people have identified him

as being at the racquet club

on the day Ashley George disappeared.

Now after the abductions, Bundy
missed three days of work.

And he lived within a mile

of at least four of the missing girls.

On top of that, his credit
card was used on the same days

and in the same areas
where the girls vanished.

Any questions?

Let's get to work.

How did I miss this?

He did everything but confess to me.

Nothing will happen to Leslie.

I mean, he made a promise
only the killer could keep.

Ann, you brought Ted up.
I was the one who said you'd

never know a guy like this.
I should of seen it coming.

I should of, some signal, some...

No, no, that's crap!

I mean, how?

Women's intuition?

Not funny.

I'm serious.

How the hell else could you have known?

I just,

I still can't believe it

I need to understand
how this could happen.

Don't go down that road.

I can tell you the
things I told the police.

I don't print anything
til the trial's over.

Do you believe it?

The things they say he did?

It's hard to picture, the Ted we know.

I wanted to marry him.

Even when things started to go
strange, I was still hoping.

Strange?

I found a lug wrench taped
under the seat of his car,

a meat cleaver

um, he took it to Utah with him.

When did you notice this?

When the girls started disappearing.

He read everything and he
watched the news all the time.

I told him people are really
gonna think you're the killer.

So you called the police?

I don't know why I did that.

Well, you were scared.

It made no difference.

- They didn't arrest him.
- They can't arrest him

without something more concrete.

Maybe they can't arrest
him because he didn't do it

did you ever think of that?

What made you call the police, margo?

He went cold physically, you know?

He wouldn't have sex unless

he was choking me or tying me up.

He wouldn't touch me

I don't think that he could

Maybe he's not interested
in a girl unless she's dead.

Hello?

Ann!

It's me, Ted.

I made bail, I'm back in Seattle.

Where are you?

I mean, where are you staying?

With margo.

Really?

Uh-huh

we had a long talk.

The guy's in town three minutes,

he's back living with the
first woman who suspected him

and about to have lunch with the second!

Ted's not going to hurt me, dick.

He's a frigging svengali!

What makes you think
he's not gonna hurt you?

You guys have him under surveillance.

What can he do?

It's a bad idea, Ann!

I heard you before.

Well, I'll say it again.

It's a bad idea

you think you're gonna figure
out what makes this guy tick?

That's horseshit, it ain't gonna happen!

I'll tell you when and where.

Well, I'd lock the
sick son of a bitch up,

but we haven't got enough evidence

to give the guy a
goddamned parking ticket!

Bye.

Well, leave your dental
records with the desk sergeant!

Mm, I'm telling you, Ann,

you don't know what freedom is

until they take it away from you.

Well, you're under surveillance.

How free can that feel?

Oh, keystone cops.

I take a few turns down
an alley and they're lost.

I shook a couple of them in
a bookstore on the way here.

Look, Ann, this case in
Utah is gonna blow over.

I learned enough in one
semester at law school

to torpedo the prosecution.

And this woman, this Julie Wyatt woman?

She's got skeletons to spare.

I'm gonna hire a private detective, Ann,

and he's gonna prove that
she knows her attacker

and she's covering for him.

I heard the Utah case was strong.

Well, that's 'cause you're listening

to your friends in the Seattle pd.

They think I did it.

Yeah, they do.

Do you think I'm guilty?

Let's just say I'm not
convinced of your innocence.

That's okay, I don't mind.

Your book is gonna be a real
murder mystery, now, isn't it?

Suspects, red herrings?

This is could be great for you.

You must have questions for me

about my past, writer type stuff.

Okay.

Uh, your childhood, was it happy?

All-American, I even had a paper route.

Did your father beat you?

Never knew my father.

My mom raised me on her own.

Maybe that's why I like you so much.

Single parent just like her.

Must have been lonely for you.

Grandparents helped,
especially my grandfather.

I had an active fantasy life.

Sorry to keep you waiting.

Oh, I think we need a few minutes.

Wait a minute, are you Ted Bundy?

Yeah, yeah, I am.

I'm sorry, Mr. Bundy, but
can I have your autograph?

Well, sure.

Um.

Uh, thank you.

You want one too, Ann?

It might be worth something someday.

Thanks, I'll be back.

But it'll be worth
more if they execute you.

I am gonna beat this.

I have an airtight case.

I'm gonna go back to Utah

and, in a month, this whole
nightmare is gonna be over with.

On the charge
of aggravated kidnapping,

the state of Utah finds the defendant,

Ann?

Hi, do you remember me. - Yeah.

- I'm Kelly Parker.
- Hi.

- I'm a friend of Ted's.
- Oh yeah, sure.

- We had lunch.
- Are you living in salt lake?

No, no, I just flew in.

To see Ted?

Well, yeah, we've been writing.

He's really getting a raw deal, huh?

You could say that.

Listen, will you do me
a favor when you see him?

Will you tell him he's too thin?

I mean, he hasn't been eating enough

and I'm just, I'm really
worried about his health.

Yeah, I'll bake him some cookies.

That's you.

- See you later, okay?
- Bye.

And by giving me one to 15 years,

it shows the judge didn't
really think I was guilty.

He succumbed to the pressure to convict.

It's like parking tickets.

They have a quota to fill.

You know, I'm gonna file an appeal.

There are dead women in Colorado.

I had nothing to do with that.

They're charging you with murder.

Extradition's begun.

I spoke to the people in Colorado.

They have no claim on me.

They have credit card slips.

They can put you there.

Same town, same days as the murders.

Well, that's not against the
law, Ann, to be in Colorado.

They found the victim's
hair fibers in your car.

Okay, fair enough.

I know what you're wondering.

You're wondering if the
sacrifice of life was worth it.

Well, Ann, I may be a
candidate for rehabilitation,

but not for what I've done,

for what this system has done to me.

I'm gonna write a book about it.

Be a good companion piece to your book.

We could write it together.

You're not gonna write a book.

Did I tell you Gary gilmore's in here?

Norman mailer's writing a book about him.

Gary gilmore's on death row.

Let me tell you something about gilmore.

He's bad news, Ann.

The things he did, the way he
manipulated his girlfriend?

No, it's tragic.

He disgusts me.

He, he,

he is the kind of person, Ann,

that should be in here, not me!

Now there's a ghoul out
there butchering women,

but did they get the right guy?

No, no, they take the
first person they see, me.

They put me in jail.

They lock me up.

They call me crazy!

Ann, there 1s a monster on the loose.

He's killing with impunity, Ann.

Nobody is gonna stop him
because they think I did it.

I am not crazy, Ann.

The system's crazy.

Locking me up?

That's not justice, it's madness.

It's madness.

So why are you here, Ann?

Well, I feel guilty.

Regarding what?

Well, what I do, how I make a living.

Do you think you're normal?

None of us is normal, doctor.

Do you think your childhood was normal?

As normal as yours.

You're a writer.

How does that invoke a guilt response?

I write about people who've
endured unimaginable horrors.

I feed off of that, off
of them, like a vulture.

Why do you choose to do it?

Their stories deserve to be told

someone has to speak for them.

That's my job.

You could find another.

No, I'd miss it.

The writing or crime?

I'm fascinated with how
a seemingly normal person

can become a killer

I like to perform what I
call psychological autopsies.

I want to figure out
how they got that way.

Your grandfather
was a very dangerous man,

was he not?

We've been doing our
homework, haven't we?

Which of my relatives is loquacious?

Well, I'm not at Liberty to...

That was a rhetorical question, doctor.

Your attempts to pigeon-hole
me are demeaning to both of us.

My current assignment, I
personally know the subject.

Yes, you
mentioned that on the phone.

If I'd seen the signs,
paid more attention,

things would be different.

You mean that some of
them would still be alive?

Yeah

do you feel happiness?

All the time

do you feel pain?

When I'm hurting.

What causes you to hurt?

I don't like being humiliated.

Who humiliated you?

Doesn't matter

people.

Did anyone else see
the signs and stop him?

No

So why should you have?

I was a police officer.

I supposedly have skills
that others don't.

Let me ask you, are you god?

No.

Then why are you assuming

so much responsibility?

The victims

I just can't get their
faces out of my head.

You're being
extradited to Colorado.

Your murder trial starts soon.

Are you concerned?

I'll be representing myself.

You'll be in control.

Hmm.

Does that make you feel like god?

I feel capable of a miracle or two.

He cut through the
goddamned ceiling tile.

He just squeezed right up through it.

Stopped eating until he could fit.

I can't believe he escaped.

Do they have any leads?

Mm-mm

he faked being sick, skipped dinner.

They found him gone at breakfast.

That's a 14-hour lead time

- yeah.
- He'd be anywhere by now.

It has been six days

since suspected mass murderer,
Theodore Robert Bundy,

escaped custody from
his Colorado jail cell.

Authorities are baffled
a8 to his whereabouts.

Bundy is considered armed
and extremely dangerous.

In local weather,
Tallahassee can look forward

to partly cloudy conditions continuing,

a 12% chance of showers through the night.

Temperatures are expected to drop,

as a weak weather system.

Chris hagen.

I'm Chris hagen.

My name is Chris hagen, nice to meet you.

I only have the first month's rent,

but I promise in three
months I'll have it all.

Oh, I moved here to be next to the water.

I love the water.

Yeah, I grew up near the water.

I find it, uh, I find it,

I find it calming.

Straight to the party.

Great. - Yeah, sure, see you.

That'll be fun.

- It's gonna be so incredible.
- I know.

I can't believe it

Scott's coming.

No!

- Uh-huh.
- You're kidding.

Oh no.

Great.

I can't believe
Tommy hasn't called.

Try and get some sleep.

Night, Amy.

Night, call me tomorrow.

Okay, see you.

Please remain in your vehicle.

13 a, 60 rounder street, 60.

Step out of the car, sir.

Yeah, 20-10.

I'm not gonna ask you twice.

Do you know who I am?

Get out of the car, sir.

Let me see your hands.

Come on.

Up against the car.

Hands on the roof.

Shoot me!

Just shoot me!

Why don't you just shoot me?

Tallahassee, Florida,
sigma theta sorority.

While they were sleeping,

two girls were beaten with a flashlight

and they survived.

Two others didn't

they were beaten and mutilated.

He's making it up as he goes now.

And while the police
were at the sorority house,

he goes down the street
and attacks another girl.

No, no, this doesn't make sense.

This doesn't fit his mo at all.

Before, it was all planned, deliberate.

Something's changed.

Nothing's changed, Ann.

He's still a monster

hey, hey!

There he is, ah, oh!

Over here, Ted.

Hey, make way.

Ted!

Got your picture, Ted.

Well, well.

What could we have here?

I et's see.

Oh, I see, looks like an indictment.

Must be an election year.

Why don't you read it to me?

No, please, why don't you read it to me?

The state of Florida hereby proclaims

that Theodore Robert Bundy,

on the night of January 14, 1978,

unlawfully killed a human
being, Ellen glazer,

by strangling and/or beating
her until she was dead.

He said he was gonna get me.

Now he has an indictment

I guess that's about all he's gonna get.

And the said Theodore Robert Bundy

unlawfully killed a human
being, to wit, Stacey hunter,

by strangling and beating
her until she was dead.

We've displayed the prisoner now.

I think it's my turn.

He's been talking for six
months while I've been gagged.

Well, I will plead not guilty right now.

They leave the lights on
all night long, you know.

And even if they didn't, I
couldn't sleep because it's cold.

It's freezing in here.

Am I supposed
to feel sorry for you?

No, no, no, no, no.

There's nothing wrong with my life

that reincarnation couldn't fix.

You know, they let me out

for the first time in months the other day

and two armed guards

and three attack dogs watched me exercise.

It's, I don't know what they
think I am, the bionic man?

You have escaped before.

God, Ann, this whole sorority situation

is bizarre, isn't it?

I mean, think of it.

The combination of my
name with a case like this

is gonna keep me in the
limelight for a long, long time.

There's a rumor going
around in the press pool.

Press?

Is that what you are now, you're press?

The cops say that you saw a priest.

Well, I have always been

fascinated with catholicism.

Did you confess to him?

Well, the father took my confession

and I said a few hail Marys.
That's not what I mean.

You know that's not what I mean

Ann, I can't confess to
something I did not do.

If you're not gonna be truthful with me,

I'm not gonna just sit
here and feed your fantasy.

You need an ending.

No, I need you to own this.

You are here
because you need an ending.

Then give it to me.

Patience, Ann.

I have a lot of show left in me.

I'll give you an ending.

I'll give you a bestseller.

Counsel, are you ready
for opening statements?

Your honor, we'd like
a 24-hour continuance.

Sorry, miss
Neal, we will begin today.

Then you'll start
without me, your honor.

Oh, bless your heart, Mr. Bundy.

I hope you stay with us.

If you don't, we will miss you.

But then all these people

won't pay their good money to come see me.

Just take a seat, young man.

Officer, can you tell us anything more

about the crime scene?

Anything, anything unusual?

Well, there was a
considerable amount of blood,

not just on the bed, but the entire room.

He's enjoying this.

He gets to play lawyer today.

Can you describe to
us, uh, the condition

of Stacey hunter's body?

She was lying face down.

Her eyes and her mouth were open.

There was a nylon stocking
knotted around her neck.

Her head was bloated, discolored.

Did you touch anything

in either of the rooms?

I may have.

So you tampered with the crime scene.

Objection!

I object to his objection, your honor!

He's got a little fan club.

Please refrain from doing my job.

I mean, this 1s not a slam dunk.

They've got almost no physical evidence.

The eye witness barely
got a glimpse of him.

I mean, if they don't put Bundy
at the scene, he could walk.

He could be sent back
and tried in Colorado.

I want the son of a
bitch in Washington state.

You know what Ted
Bundy's favorite book is?

I ittle women.

You know what his last
job's gonna be in jail?

Conductor.

Unbelievable.

Yeah, it's just the beginning.

Look, I gotta get out
of here for a while.

Kelly?

Hey, Kelly?

Ann rule

I'm just helping him
out any way that I can.

I didn't know anything
about law before I met Ted.

Did you know he was gonna be a lawyer?

Yes, yes, I remember.

Since the trial began, I
haven't been able to see him.

How is he?

Oh, he's terrific.

I mean, I think all this adversity

is just making him stronger.

You know, I actually think
that the other prisoners

enjoy seeing a once republican,

white middle class guy attack the system.

He's gonna beat this.

Kelly, have you ever considered
that Ted might be guilty?

No

There's no question in my
mind Ted did not do this.

There is evidence
against him in four states.

No way, not my Ted, not my bunny.

Bunny?

Ann, you know him, he's not evil.

He's good and he's kind and he's loyal.

Your honor, these
images are inflammatory

and of no probative value!

Don't shake your
finger at me, young man.

That's better, you could shake
that finger at your lawyer.

Overruled.

How would you describe
the wounds we see here?

As bite marks.

The clearest examples
taken from the buttocks

of miss glazer is this correct?

Yes, sir.

And how would you compare
the bite marks from the victim

to those of the defendant, Theodore Bundy?

You're honor, I'm very sorry,

but I cannot let this continue.

Well, object, object, Mr. Bundy,

but don't assume that you can
set the rules in this court.

I object.

Bless your heart, but
I'm gonna overrule again.

Continue.

How do the bite marks on the victim

compare to the teeth of
the defendant, Mr. Bundy?

They are identical to
the dental impressions

taken from the defendant.

Are we in a ballroom, your honor?

Are we dancing a minuet?

Well, you are leading
the witness, Mr. baines.

Objection sustained.

I'll rephrase.

In your opinion, who made the bite marks

on the victim's buttocks?

The defendant, Theodore Bundy.

Thank you, no further
questions, your honor.

Your honor, I object!

They did it, they put him at the scene.

Prosecution contends that the killer

had a chip on his incisor.

I contend that my tooth wasn't
chipped prior to my arrest.

The court has already
ruled on this, Mr. Bundy.

Your honor, if you would
allow me to introduce evidence

with regard to this, we could avoid

this entire graphic sideshow.

That's enough now, Mr. Bundy.

I have always contended, your honor,

always, from the beginning,

that they have taken my teeth

and they have twisted them

every which way but loose
to fit the evidence.

Mr. Bundy, sit down!

- Oh.
- Oh

Mr. Bundy, on the
night of the sigma theta

sorority murders, can you
tell us where you were?

Well, that was a year ago.

And if I'm not mistaken, memory
doesn't improve with time.

Do you know where you were that night?

If I was charged with a
crime, you bet I would.

Well, I'm not on trial for a bad memory.

So you have no alibi?

It's safe to say what I
was not doing that night.

I was not performing open heart surgery.

I was not trekking in timbuktu.

And I certainly was not
slaughtering young women.

Mom, when do you
think you're coming home?

The jury's only been out a few hours.

We could be here for days.

Verdict's in!

Hey, what's going on?

Oh, my god, they already have a verdict.

Honey, I gotta go, I'll call you later.

I love you, bye.

Will the defendant please rise?

Bailiff, hand me the judgment.

And I expect the courtroom
to maintain its decorum,

regardless of the outcome.

I will be reading the
verdict for the jury.

We, the jury, in the case
of the state of Florida

versus Theodore Robert Bundy,

on the charge of first degree murder,

find the defendant guilty as charged.

Yeah.

Yeah

Ted, I'm so sorry.

Victoria?

I didn't want to talk to you.

What changed your mind?

The sentencing is next week.

Everybody's talking about him.

Ted told me that you
were the love of his life,

even after you ended it.

Ted was in love, I wasn't.

We didn't have any contact
for about three years.

And then one day, he
called me out of the blue.

Really?

He never told me

he had completely transformed himself.

He was so confident, so charismatic.

He had become exactly the man
that I thought that I wanted

and then he proposed.

And?

And I told him yes.

I told him yes and he stopped calling me

and stopped returning my calls.

When I finally got hold of him

and I asked him what was wrong,

he said, I don't know
what you're talking about

and he hung up.

It must have been calculated

he'd planned it.

Can you remember when this was?

I know exactly.

It was January 2, 1974.

It was three days later.

The first girl was
attacked three days later.

She looked like me.

They all look like me.

I know, I'm sorry.

You know, it's always in
the middle of the night,

I wake up

and I wonder why he didn't kill me.

Why?

Should I feel guilty?

No, no it's not your
fault, don't blame yourself.

But it started with me

no, I don't think,

I think it started long before he met you,

long before he met any of us.

He said what?

That his family was close, loving.

I don't want you to go away thinking

it was a house of horrors,
but we had our secrets.

Ted's mother, especially.

We all do.

Ted tell you he was illegitimate?

No.

Nobody told him either.

He spent his first three
months in an orphanage.

He was finally taken home.

His grandparents stood
in as mother and father.

Ted grew up thinking his
mother was his sister.

When did he learn the truth?

Not 'til he was almost 20

that's a long time to hide it.

Hmm, like I said, secrets.

Tell me, does it shock you,
the things that Ted's done?

Ted's grandfather, he was a violent man.

Ted had kind things to say about him.

He was the type who could swing a cat

over his head by the tail and enjoy it.

Leaves an impression.

Know what I mean?

Did you ever see that
kind of violence in Ted?

No, no, I never saw it,

but I,

there was a little girl
went missing in '62.

Her name was Sarah Jane sweeney.

She just vanished.

Her house was on Ted's paper route.

Could you explain for us
how you met the defendant?

Uh, me?

We met in Olympia,
Washington and became friends.

And then several years later,

our relationship evolved into
a more romantic sort of thing.

And is it, would you say it's serious?

Serious enough that I want to marry him.

Have you ever seen

or even known Ted Bundy
to behave violently?

No, never.

And I have been associated with Mr. Bundy

in virtually every circumstance.

He is a warm, kind, patient man.

Do you want to marry, I'm
sorry, I'm sorry.

Let me rephrase that.

Will you marry me?

Yes.

Yes, I will.

Then I do hereby marry you.

Okay, Mr. Bundy.

Mr. Bundy, you can stop

the little Valentine charade right now.

He married her.

Florida law says, if you
phrase a proposal just so

in a court of law in front
of a judge, it's binding.

Ted Bundy just got married.

Hey.

Hey.

Oh, what's gonna happen next, Ted?

Ah, it's okay.

We did it, didn't we, baby?

We're gonna get through it.

I know, bunny, for
better or for worse, right?

That's my qirl.

I went out and bought myself a ring

in a pawn shop down the street.

I guess that makes
this our wedding night,

doesn't it, hmm?

Ted, the guards are gonna see us, don't.

No, they won't.

They won't see us.

I won the lottery.

What are you talking about?

All of us on the cell
block, we put $5 in.

When the pot gets up
to $100, we draw lots.

The winner gets 20 minutes.

Really?

Mm-hmm_

And I guess you are the winner, huh?

Bingo.

I find it absurd to ask for mercy

for something I didn't do.

I sympathize with the families
of the young women who died,

but I am telling this court,

if I had had competent
counsel, I would be acquitted

because I am not, I am not,
I am not the one responsible

for the reprehensible actions
at the sigma theta sorority.

And yet I know I will be sentenced,

but it is not me that you've sentenced.

It is a sentence on someone, someone else

who is not standing here before you.

Theodore Robert Bundy,
having been adjudicated guilty

in the charge of murder
in the first degree,

it is the order of this court

that you be put to death by
a current of electricity,

that the current be
passed through your body

until you are dead.

You take care of yourself, young man.

I say that sincerely.

It is a tragedy to see such
a total waste of humanity.

You're a bright young man.

You'd have made a good lawyer.

I would have loved to have
you practice in front of me.

But you went another way, partner.

I don't have any animosity toward you.

I want you to know that.

Thank you, sir.

Bailiffs?

Yeah.

Yeah

I need to run
to the room, all right?

Hey, congratulations, man.

Yeah, thanks, d.J.

We're gonna get this thing
overturned, I'm telling you.

The supreme court should be looking at

the legality of this evidence

and I'm gonna be out of here.

Aw, Ted, the baby.

Yeah, it's great, isn't it?

I'm gonna live forever.

How do I look?

Thin.

No, no, I'm a vegetarian now.

It's a slimming diet.

The Florida state prisons don't cater

to special diet requests, you know,

unless it's a religious thing.

So I converted to hinduism.

Do you think I look too thin?

You look fine.

Yeah, well, I'll be in perfect health

when they kill me.

You should put that in your book.

I don't want to talk about the book

you come here as a friend?

I want to know when it began.

There are no answers.

Did it start with Sarah Jane sweeney?

She was a sweet kid.

Used to follow me around like a puppy dog.

But, I'm afraid, back then,

I was just a normal 14-year-old boy.

You remember exactly how old you were

when she disappeared.

Well, that was big
news in our neighborhood.

I found out about your childhood.

You mean about my mother
passing herself off as my sister?

How'd you feel being lied to?

Adopted children are lied to.

It doesn't make them killers

was it your grandfather then?

What do you want me to do, Ann?

Do you want me to make up something?

No

'cause I'll do that,
I'll make up something.

Okay, my grandfather raped my
mother and created a monster.

Is that what you want to hear?

I want to understand it

I?

You mean me, don't you?

I'm less of a threat that way, aren't I?

If I'm something else?

I'm not like you, then I'm demented.

I have some defect.

You do have a defect.

I do not, I do not.

I can't tell you the truth, Ann,

because there is no truth to tell

99%... - Tell me you did it.

Give me that.

99% of the time I'm
just like anyone else,

like you, but still...

- Say you killed them!
- Still you judge me,

you who have known me so long.

Show me the 1%.

Show me what they saw!
Why do you judge me

so harshly?

If I even begin to answer
that, I'll never stop.

Do you remember long tall Sally?

The crisis clinic girl you saved?

Her name wasn't Sally.

I tracked down the medical workers

who helped her that night.

I got her address and her real name.

Ted

a year later, almost to
the day, she slit her wrists

and bled to death in her bathtub

I had to wonder, what good
did I do that night, huh?

Well, what do you think?

Goodbye, Ted.

And if I didn't do any good,

is there any such thing, is there?

> Ah, ah, ooh j

js ooh, ooh, oh »

Listen to me, sweetie, listen.

Are you listening?

What we need is time, okay?

I have what these families want.

I can help them, I can give them closure.

What do you mean?

Some of the victims
haven't been found yet.

I can provide information.

I want you to go to these people.

I want you to tell them
that I am willing to talk,

that I can tell them where
they can find their daughters.

But they have to ask the
governor for clemency.

What are you saying?

You know where these girls are?

I can speculate.

Oh, my god!

Sweetheart, come here.

Say goodbye to daddy.

Bye, daddy.

No, no stop it!

Listen to me!

I need you to do this for me.

I can't do this anymore, Ted!

Yes, you can!

If I can do it, you can do it!

I'm counting on you.

Goodbye, Ted.

Daddy?

Ted Bundy,
who has been on death row

for nine years, has once again
drawn attention to himself

his execution is

only three days away
I know, I know.

I've heard every reporter

in the country has called.
And our reporter, Mike zur

is at the scene. - No, it's his

fourth death warrant

hey, can you hang on a minute?

I got a call coming in.
There are no additional

stays expected at this time.
Hello?

Yes, this is she.
He is scheduled to be

put to death by electrocution.
No, I'm so sorry, I can't.

I'm doing Larry king then.

Can I call you back?

Bundy was convicted

on a murder with two.
Thanks. Hello?

All right, here's my proposal.

Three more years.

I get three more years

and I will tell you where
the bodies are buried

and also about the girls'
last moments on earth.

I mean, that ought to be
some comfort to the families.

Ted, we spoke to the families.

They refuse to intervene on your behalf.

The execution has not been stayed.

You have to do something, okay?

You have to do something.

Have you called all the families?

I mean, you're certain
you've called all of them?

They have to want to know.

You could give this information

without asking for something in return.

Why won't these people help, huh?

Why won't they help?

Well, you heard about
his last-minute offer, right?

Yeah.

Jeez, the guy's got a
hell of a lot of nerve.

Well, it's a confession.

Think about it

I mean, that alone provides a
tremendous amount of closure

for hundreds of people.

Well, that's one way to look at it.

Hey, will you remember
to tell my family,

just,

just tell them I'm sorry.

Maybe we could start by telling me

a little bit about the girl.

The little girl's name
was Sarah Jane sweeney.

She vanished from her home in march 1961

> ah, ah j

Ted was a paper boy

and the sweeney home was on his route.

Dd ah j

one day Sarah Jane
stayed home from school sick.

Her mother thought she was asleep,

but when she went
upstairs to check on her,

> ah, ah j

Sarah Jane was gone.

She just disappeared.

They never found her body.

Do you think she
was his first victim?

Ted denies it.

Yes, yes, I think she was his first.

She was eight, he was 14.

Term not deserved.

Let him go today.
How do you feel

right now, Ann?

Has justice been done?

Oh, you can never
right what Ted's done.

Surely his death must be

some consolation to the victims' families.

Wait, wait.

Wait!

When they arrested him in Florida,

one of the cops told him he
was a suspect in 36 murders.

You know what Ted said?

Add a digit.

What does that mean, add a digit?

37 murders oris it 1367

did it start with Sarah Jane?

Did it start after?

Was Ted born a monster?

Did he become one?

There is no answer.

That's the only truth Ted ever gave me.

We think we know evil when
we see it, but we don't.

It just exists

and we don't know why.

I don't know why.

js oh, ah, oh j
