Do you know what time it is?

Ernie, baby, do me a favor?

Drop a 'lude and relax.

Relax.

Where's Yvonne?

She finished your press releases

and went down to her room to change.

Well, would you mind getting her on the phone for me, please?

Sure.

Hello.

Hi, Yvonne?

Yeah, Palm Springs.

I've got some good news.

Oh, that's nice honey.

Got a part in a new series.

Spaceship America.

Got it?

Okay.

It's really a good part.

Want to get her on the phone for me, huh?

Sure, hut snap it up.

Start shooting next week.

What?

The series, my part.

Look, I tell you what.

Why don't you tell me all about it later?

After the show I'll take you out to dinner, okay?

No answer.

Ernie, you don't think she passed

them out already, do you?

Nah, she knows better than to do that.

Come on Diane, we're late.

We've gut to go.

Where's Dad?

Palm Springs, the club.

I think I'll give him a call

and wish him a Happy New Year.

Well, he's not feeling well, you know?

I know.

You want to come up and watch the show, honey?

No, I think I'll just stay here and catch it on the tube.

You're feeling alright, aren't you?

Yeah, I'm fine.

No headaches?

I'm line.

Come on, we're late.

Alright.

Coming down live from high atop

the Sunset Strip, it's Hollywood Hotline!

A countdown of this year's most popular new wave rock.

Your hostess for tonight's musical celebration,

I want you to brace yourself for

Are you ready New York?

You bet, Blaze.

It's 58 minutes before midnight here in Times Square.

The crowds been gathering since five o'clock.

You standing by, Chicago?

We're right with you, Blaze.

And we'll he here one hour after New York

at midnight central time.

And what about you, Aspen, Colorado?

Our torchlit parade down the slopes

will continue right through midnight. See you then.

So that's what you can expect before

we celebrate our finale here on the West coast.

Alright, it's time now for your

vote for the top new wave hit of the year.

Give us a call.

I know most of you already know our number

from our regular Saturday show, now don't you?

Blaze here, Happy New Year.

This is Clara, my vote for the

best song is We Don't Need No Education.

Oh, just some hot tips, huh?

Well, thank you Clara.

Blaze here, a crazy New Year to you.

Happy New Year to you, Blaze.

Oh, some kind of voice you got there.

Sound like the phantom.

You could call me that.

So, you got a name, Phantom?

Call me Evil.

Evil?

You had, honey?

No.

Just evil.

Well, listen Mr. Evil, do you have a

vote for the top song of the year?

No.

Just a New Years resolution.

I'm going to commit murder at midnight.

I'm going to kill someone you knew.

Someone close to you.

Well, we're really off to an interesting start, aren't we?

Crazy trips, must he a full moon.

Well, let's start our own celebration here, okay?

With Shadow!

Holy shit, did you hear that?

Don't let it hug you.

Look, Ernie, I do not want any trouble.

That guy was not a usual freak.

Everything is going to be okay.

Look, I would like some police

protection, just in case.

We already got cops here.

Well, why don't you get some more cops?

Okay, okay.

I'm sorry.

No problem.

Who are you?

I'm Jeff Winters.

I'm sorry I'm late.

They sent me over from County.

Temporary help, they said.

We can sure use you.

We're very shorthanded, what with the holiday and all.

I'm afraid I don't know my way around here yet.

Well, I'll show you.

Maybe this isn't going to be such

a had New Years Eve after all.

Hey, brought your own music, huh?

Yeah, I always come well equipped.

I bet you do.

Including this.

Now, do you suppose we could find

some place private where we could

share a glass of this before I punch in?

I mean, it's a very good year.

And this is made for special occasions.

And this is New Year's Eve, alter all.

Right this way.

I'm afraid these will have to do.

They'll he just fine.

Now, here is to us.

And to New Years Eve, Miss...7

Jane.

Jane Marlin.

May I have this dance?

You don't waste much time, do you?

No, I count every second.

Diane, this is Lieutenant Clayton

and Sergeant Green, LAPD.

Hello.

Hi, Miss Sullivan.

What can we do for you?

Do for me?

You can protect me, that's what you can do for me.

Ernie, did you tell 'em about the call?

Yes, I did.

He told us about it, Miss. Sullivan, but

frankly, if you'll excuse my saying so,

you've got to expect that from the

type of audience you appeal to.

Look, people close to me were threatened.

Now if you don't take that seriously,

maybe we can find somebody in your department who will.

Oh, we take it seriously hut

you people amaze me.

Here you create a problem and then

you complain about it.

[UH

Alright, look.

If the guy calls again, try to

keep him on the phone a little longer than normal.

We'll try to record the call and then try to trace it.

Yeah, alright. I'll see what I can do.

You do that.

Look Lieutinent, you have to excuse her.

She's a little uptight, this show is

very important to hen

We appreciate anything you can do for us, okay?

Sure.

Thanks.

Hell of a way to bring in the New Year, huh?

Really.

Picking a phone freak out of this bunch.

Room 408 please.

Hello.

Derek?

Yes.

Are you alright?

Yes.

Look, honey, have you seen Yvonne?

She's supposed to be up here.

Yvonne, no.

I've been trying lo reach Dad,

his lines been busy.

Listen, Honey, you coming up soon?

I'd feel a lot better if you did.

In a while, I don't know.

There's something you should know,

something important.

Listen, Honey, I have to go now, alright?

I'll see you in a little while.

Hey, I've only known you for ten minutes.

Does it matter?

Tonight, no.

It's nearing the hour of midnight in Manhattan.

Craig Wiseman is standing by in Times Square.

Hello, Craig.

It's absolute bedlam here in the heart

of Broadway as hundreds of thousands of people

have packed into the streets and sidewalks of Times Square.

The noise, you hear it, is absolutely indescribable.

A boiler factory would be a graveyard by comparison.

It's now one minute away from midnight

and we're counting down.

Fifty seconds, the crowd is pushing and shoving.

But nobody seems to care.

Everyone's happy, hoping that the New Year

will bring better luck than the last one.

Forty seconds, husbands and wives, lovers embracing.

Even casual strangers caught up in the mass

hysteria of this incredible multitude.

This is Evil.

Yeah, hi, hiya.

This is Evil, remember me?

Yeah, I was wondering if you

were going to call back.

Listen, about that New Year's resolution

you told me your were going to make.

I mean, you were just jiving me, weren't you?

No way.

I just made my first kill, right on schedule.

Happy New Year from New York City!

You will hear from me in an hour.

Tell the police they can find her body

Have fun!

Jane?

Janey.

Where the hell are you?

I'll tell you what you see in me.

You think something in my past has affected me.

Don't you?

I think I have a mental disorder.

Now what do you think?

Thank you, thank you.

I'll he hack in just a minute.

Take a short break, okay?

Yeah, okay.

Keep me posted.

It looks like our creep's for real.

They found the body, a nurse, carved up real had.

With deep lacerations around the neck and the chest.

He's got Yvonne, hasn't he?

We don't know that for sure.

My men have covered the hotel completely

and we haven't turned up a sign.

Would one of you lovely ladies like to dance?

Okay.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

Say, do you have the time?

It's 9:30.

What's the matter with that?

I don't know, it seems the more

expensive they are the quicker

they go out of wack.

I got mine at Sowdy's, it hasn't

lost a minute in two years.

There you go.

Now when this guy says murder at midnight,

he means midnight in each of the

time zones all across the country.

Wait a minute, you trying to tell us

that he's gonna do this three more times?

Until we catch him.

You're our only contact with him.

You got to keep the show on the road.

Humor him if he calls again, maybe he'll slip up.

Yeah, okay.

Just give me a couple of minutes to pull

myself together, alright?

We'll stay on top of it.

And when the son of a hitch does make

a mistake, we'll grab him.

I've really enjoyed meeting you.

You're a very interesting lady.

I kind of hate to go.

You just got here.

I know, I just came in for a drink.

I got this business thing I have to attend.

There's a big party up at Erik Estrada's place.

Kind of a command performance,

he's a client of mine.

Oh, are you an agent?

No, no, I'm a business manager.

I handle investments, that sort of thing.

It pays okay but it's no bed of roses.

Some of these picture people are real prima donnas.

Hey.

I've got an idea, why don't you come along?

I think you'd really enjoy yourself.

Well, l... No, I don't know.

Oh, come on.

I could introduce you to some very interesting people.

At least I wouldn't get crushed to death.

That, I guarantee.

Okay.

But first I have to visit the ladies room.

Right.

Meet you out front?

You got it.

Okay.

Featuring Shadow and Made in Japan.

Hi, I'm ready.

I have to bring my roommate Lisa along.

You do?

Sure, you wouldn't want me to go out

by myself with a total stranger, would you?

Couldn't agree with you more.

Can't be too careful these days.

Lisa I would he very happy indeed

to have you come along.

The way I look at it now, the more the merrier.

I'm parked right over here, the Mercedes.

Midnight, Eastern standard time.

Listen to the replay.

He's apparently using some kind

of a voice processor but do the vocal

characteristics suggest anything familiar to you?

No, it's so inhuman.

For?

That dues not set him apart in this town,

there's enough evil floating around here

to fill Death Valley.

This character's just following through

with his threats, that's all.

We're coming up to the Chicago feed.

You feel up to it, Diane?

[UH

Look, we could let Rip do the intro.

He's done alright so far.

No.

No, God dammit!

It's my show, I'm not going to let

this cutthroat ruin it for me.

That's exactly what he wants.

Okay, Diane.

Alright, thank you.

You know the first thing I did when I got here

was to get Lisa to take me down to the Pacific ocean.

It was such a thrill.

I walked right into the water with

my dress on and everything.

The life guard thought I was crazy.

Imagine that?

I told everybody about it hack in Akron,

and they just couldn't believe it.

Son of a hitch, I'm supposed to he there before 10.

Hey, don't get uptight.

What?

So what if we're a few minutes late.

You know what you need?

What?

TM.

Transcendental meditation.

Lisa and I do it every morning.

Boy, that sort of stuff really works.

I stopped biting my nails, Lisa

got rid of her nervous diarrhea.

Sally, please.

[UH

You can change if you really want to had enough.

And then I went to TA, you know transactional analysis?

I'm okay, you're okay, that sort of stuff.

And then I went through EST.

And finally zen, oh boy that was

some sort of spiritual trip.

Now, I'm writing Ilaikus.

Haikus?

That's Japanese poetry.

You must think I'm really weird.

Boy, whatever comes into your head

comes right out of your mouth.

No, you're exactly the sort of girl

I was hoping to meet in a place like that.

That was the first time I was ever there,

wasn't it Lisa?

Yes.

Besides, we weren't looking to he picked up.

We just wanted to party a little bit.

You know, TM, TA, Zen, all that

don't mean doodly dee squat when

a girl doesn't have a date on New Years Eve.

She's in shit city.

The windy city is all set to bring

this one in with a traditional rendition

of Auld Lang Syne.

Just listen to those happy people,

this place is fantastic.

Could we make a pit stop?

Now, here's what I want you to do.

You go in and go to the john and

while you're in there, buy the biggest

goddamn bottle of champagne they got.

5 For Auld Lang Syne, my dear

Ji For Auld Lang Syne JJ

15 seconds and counting.

I think her diarrhea's hack.

Hey, you want to smoke a number?

- 6... - Sure.

5, 4, 3...

I've got some great stuff here, Columbia.

- 2, 1. - Here, smell.

Happy New Year from Chicago.

94, 95 and 5 makes 100.

Thank you.

And happy New Year.

You know you're one sick son of a bitch, mister.

You need help and you need to quit!

Now, stop it!

Shut up, bitch.

You just tell the cops that I took out

the trash from my last party.

Ventura and Laurel Canyon.

It was a real swinger.

Hey Phil?

What do you got?

Looks like blood.

[cat yowlingl

Where'd that little guy come from?

More blood.

We better get some more help.

Oh my God.

Wally, where are you?

In here.

Christ.

There's something over here.

Right.

Same M.0., huh?

No, I ain't going anyplace.

That bastard got two more of them.

Females, caucasian.

Slashed like the nurse.

Welcome hack to the second half of Hollywood Hotline.

If he stays on this schedule he should

be stalking his 11 o'clock victim about now.

Blame your parents, Padre.

And they have reason to believe

he may strike again before midnight.

The police are urging women to use caution

while traveling through the North Hollywood area.

The names of the murder victims have not

been released by the police, pending

notification of next of kin.

In other news, the UN general assembly

has announced that William Fine has

been name Secretary General to the Uni-

Blood Feast.

Leave now unless your heart can stand the shock.

This is a night of terror.

The hideous woman in red,

back from the dead in search of revenge.

Thirsty for blood.

The night is filled with death. There is no escape.

Hey, honey.

It's about time, isn't it?

Maybe next movie.

...and the only sound you will hear is your own heart...

Greetings asshole.

I'm a man of God.

Not a man of violence.

Blood Bath plus Blood Feast.

Two blood-chilling shockers,

Get out of the car.

Huh?

Out of the car!

HEI

Where are the keys?

Where are the fucking keys?

In the ignition.

Now as the New Year approaches the Rockies

we're headed for Aspen.

Here in Colorado, we have to

do things just a little different.

Some of us came up here to burn

a candle for the New Year.

And that New Year is only five

minutes away, by my count.

Please, please don't hurt me.

Listen, Mister.

If it's money you want, I don't have any.

Just three dollars and this garment ring.

I don't want your money.

Please, I'll do anything you want.

We can even get it on if you want to,

I wont make any kind of fuss.

Hey!

Buddy, you crazy?

Happy New Year!

Are you nuts?

Hey honey, where you going?

I said, get out of the way.

Crazy fool!

[shouting drunkenlyl

That way.

Hey you, over there.

Police officer.

Hey, what are you-

Miss, Miss, are you okay?

And it's 12 midnight, Happy New Year

from Aspen, Colorado.

This thing on?

Your attention please.

Ah, shut up.

Enough already.

While the show's on a commercial break,

I'd like to make an announcement.

I'm Lieutenant Ed Clayton of the

Los Angeles Police Department.

If any guest here-

Alright, alright, alright.

If any guest here has to leave this room

for any reason...

You leave.

He or she will not be admitted hack in.

We don't want to hear any shit from a -

All access to this floor has been sealed

all until further notice.

Everything's going fine honey,

you're doing fine.

What was that all about?

I mean, don't we have enough trouble

without scaring all the guests?

This is Dr. Reid, our consulting psychologist.

It was his decision.

We definitely have to consider

and prepare for the one possibility

that lle'll be right here at midnight,

Pacific Standard time.

Why?

Because he has a compulsion lo kill on the hour.

It's a sequential drama.

With Miss Sullivan as the link.

And it's building step by step

to a grand climax with his ultimate victim.

You.

Killing a named personality at the stroke

of midnight New Year's Eve would satisfy

his egotistical desire for attention.

Make him bigger than the Son of Sam

or the Zodiac killer.

All those psychopaths have had the need

to he big in the media.

You gonna tell me that he would

try to kill me just for that?

Not neccesarily, he's mutilated the breasts

of most of his women.

That's a common characteristic of a

psychopathic killer who has a mother fixation.

Whatever.

We're gonna stop this crazy son of a bitch

before he gets within 12 floors of you.

Nobody gets in, the hotel has been sealed off.

Sorry.

Look, I had to work late, alright?

The hotel has been sealed off.

Thank you, my son.

You're welcome.

Go with God.

I know I'm runnin' a little late,

I got to get in.

I have a ticket.

Nobody gets in.

Look, I came all the way up

from Huntington Beach, alright.

I have to get in by midnight.

I said nobody gets in.

Hey officer, can you give me a hand

over here, I think I found a drunk.

Now, here we go with Made in Japan with Bonsai.

We're registered here.

See, here's our room key.

Nobody gets in, Iieutenanfs orders.

Everything's going line, honey.

Just a little more to do.

I'm going downstairs and change this dress to a green one.

I'll give you a hand.

No, it's alright Jenny, I need a little time alone.

Like hell you do.

Listen, I'm staying with you.

They just found one of my guys

knocked cold out in the garage.

That killer could be loose in this

building somewhere, you understand?

Yeah, I understand.

After me.

Stay right here.

Freeze, police officer.

Don't shoot!

God, don't shoot, that's my son!

Derek, I'm sorry, I forgot you were here.

Haven't you always?

Baby, I'm so sorry.

I was just busy, I was-

I had a surprise for you and

right now I don't want any part of it.

Derek, Derek where are you going?

Derek?

Derek, where are you going?

Derek?

Please, would you mind waiting outside to...

I have to change, get back upstairs.

Okay, Miss Sulivan.

I'll just he a few minutes.

Ooga, booga.

Oh, Richard, you scared me, God.

Oh, I'm sorry, honey.

Look, you wait here.

I'm going to go identify myself

to that paranoid cop in case he

wants to shoot first and ask questions later.

Officer, in case you're wondering who I am,

I happen to be the lauy's husband.

Where the hell'd you come from?

I was in the john, I was afraid to come out.

What do you say, Miss. Sullivan?

Yes, this is my husband.

Listen, I have to finish getting dressed, thank you.

Honey, the surprise was Derek's idea.

Not a very good one, I'm afraid. I'm sorry.

Ah, doesn't matter.

I'm just glad you're here.

Yeah, I drove up from the Springs

as soon as I heard that crazy guy call on your show.

I was afraid there might be some kind of trouble.

Trouble?

What do you mean, you haven't heard?

Heard what?

Yvonne is missing.

Police have been looking everywhere for her.

This looney has already killed three people

and now they think that he's after me.

Oh my God.

Well, I'll stay right with you if you want.

No, I'll he alright.

I'll he alright.

I really wish you'd find Derek

and talk to him, he's very upset.

Okay.

And I'll see you both after the show, okay?

Fine.

Hey, there's been nobody allowed

in this hotel.

I want to know how the hell you get in here.

Well they called her agent, Ernie Moffat,

he ukay'd it.

This Sergeant Louis?

Yeah, go ahead.

This is Green. Listen, I want you to check out

something from the lieutenant for me.

10-4, on my way.

You copy?

I'll contact you from the Sky room.

Rogen

Right.

What?

1ADJ406 registered to Richard Sullivan?

Okay.

Richard Sullivan, is he any relation to Diane?

He's her husband, whai, what-

They found his Mercedes abandoned at a drive in.

The driver knifed a biker there and

escaped in a stolen car with a girl hostage.

Now you don't think that he has something...

- Lieutenant? - Just a second, Louis.

They also checked the files at the Sanitarium.

Richard Sullivan was once a patient there.

Lieutenant, Green said the husband was

down in the lady's suite.

How'd he get in?

He said the manager okay'd it.

Like hell I did.

I always knew that bastard was crazy.

Come on.

You married?

Yeah, ten years.

Any kids?

Two sets of twins.

What's the matter, no TV?

Really.

What the hell was that?

Hit that button over there.

Hit it again.

We're still going down.

Come on, this thing's dropping.

Come one, hit it again, push that button.

Come on, hit the button!

Oh, Richard.

What happened?

The show, I got to get back upstairs.

Boy, you're really something, aren't you?

You're a real trooper.

The show must go on, huh?

Well, tonight the show's gonna

go on without you.

I have a surprise for you.

Here, listen to this.

Miracle of modern technology.

Is it you?

YOU?

That's right.

I'm Evil.

Why?

Why would you?

BECBIISE.

I'm led up.

You are just like every other lady in my life.

Derek told me about the way you

behave around other men.

Derek also told me about the way

you tried to turn on your own son

and that is not nice.

Ladies are not very nice people.

They are manipulative and deceitful and immoral

and very, very selfish.

See, that's why Yvonne was first.

You killed Yvonne?

Yes.

Because you and she have been

short changing me for years.

I have had to beg her, through you,

for every cent I ever got.

- That's not true. - My allowance-

Oh yes, it is.

See you, you castrated me.

And that is not nice.

And now you're trying to do the

same thing with our son.

And I will not stand for it.

What do you mean, Richard?

Oh, he told me.

We had a very interesting discussion

while waiting for you.

You really don't know.

He auditioned for the lead in a series

and he didn't tell anybody who he was.

He didn't use his Iasi name, so

they didn't know that he was Blaze's little boy.

And he got it.

All on his own for the very first time.

Richard, Richard, you're sick, you know that.

Let me help, huh?

This has been a very had year for me.

But midnight starts the first day

of my new life.

And you know what I'm going to do?

I'm going to go to the Rosebowl game with my boy.

We'll let you sleep in.

Shh.

I can hear your heart beating.

I don't like that.

Well, it's getting late.

Hi, is everything okay?

Everything's line, Happy New Year.

Happy New Year.

Stand up.

Stand up!

Don't move.

I need some time to think about this.

All the way up and all the way dawn.

Enjoy your going away party.

Get smashed.

Who in the hell knows where she is?

Just get him out here.

Tell him to play the God damn Star Spangled Banner

for all I care, just get him here.

Yvonne, Yvonne!

Yvonnel

Oh, there's some funky shit going on here.

Cover.

Shit.

Alright, let's get the son of a hitch.

Now be careful.

- Call an ambulance. - Alright, lets go.

Be careful.

Freeze.

Put the gun down.

Slowly.

Put your hands on top of your head.

To die, to sleep no more.

And by asleep to say we end the heartache

and the thousand natural shocks

that flesh is heir to.

Don't even consider it, you scum.

Come on, lets get back.

Come on, give him some room.

Oh, no!

It's Blaze.

Oh my God.

Okay, she's ready.

Let's go.

This is KGMB Honolulu; the old year

is quickly fading to a memory and the

new one, we hope, will bring peace and prosperity for all.

Aloha, it's midnight.

Happy New Year from Hawaii.
