All language subtitles for The Radical Story of Patty Hearst s01e04 The Lost Year

Patty Hearst turned her back on her life
of privilege.

We had to prove that.

The gun's loaded.

I'm a soldier in the People's Army.

She must have been forced to do it. She
could have escaped if she'd wanted to.

He saved my life. I think she was
spectacular.

We don't know where she is.

LAPD, they were closing in. You know,
make our day.

I did what I had to do.

If she was in there.

God willed it.

The granddaughter of William Randolph
Hearst was abducted by two men and a

in a bizarre kidnapping.

No ransom note, no phone calls, no word,
nothing.

The SLA is the people's army and we
fight in their interest.

The FBI said the girl in the wig with
the automatic rifle was Patricia Hearst.

Rich college girl turned armed terrorist
in a matter of weeks.

Southern California's largest manhunt
continues.

For someone my age, I've been through an
awful lot.

We don't know where she is.

Mom, Dad, I'm okay.

Coming off now.

The chopper is overhead observing. The
fire is raging. Now, we've got a better

vantage point.

And you can hear the officer. I don't
know if you can hear the officer yelling

at us, but he just yelled that we are in
the line of fire. The police now are

broadcasting to the people in the house
to cease fire. I can hear their

megaphone.

As soon as we turn on the TV, we see
cops scurrying around and we hear

The area is still definitely sealed.
That automatic weapons fire is from...

What we can gather here coming from a
police officer's weapon.

There are more police now. This place is
getting, filling up with police.

I remember her saying it one time.

She thought she heard Willie's gun.

She thought she identified Willie firing
back at them.

She was in this, still in this badass
mode.

We're trying to bring you these live
pictures as they occur.

We're using the car here as the cover.
We thought all the other stations were

competing with us for picture. We didn't
know we had the only exclusive picture

from the scene and that we were starting
to share it with all the stations in

the area and then across the country. So
we didn't know it.

But we were ushering in a new age. We
were basically saying goodbye to the age

of television news on film and hello to
the age of television news on

videotape and live.

There is still fire coming from inside
the Target house, which is across the

street, as I said before, from us right
now. The house is burning and they're

still shooting.

But there was smoke everywhere, and we
couldn't see the house. And somebody

said, hey, they're shooting out of the
crawl spaces.

And so they had kicked out the floor
furnace and gone under the house.

Two females exit the back of the house.

Nancy Perry got out, and she had a gas
mask on. She had a gun in either hand,

pistols. She was shot and killed.

Camilla Hall was...

just inside, and I know she was shot in
the head because I saw it. Then somebody

drug her back inside, underneath.

So we began to put rounds in the crawl
spaces, and they were all killed in the

crawl spaces.

And, of course, the obvious conclusion
is that the Los Angeles police have

indeed found the nesting place of the
Symbionese Liberation Army, and there's

not much left of it now.

It was like 62 minutes from first to
last, you know, where we were giving the

announcements and it didn't take long
once the house started on fire. That

it. We just stood there and we were
just, you know, pretty

shocked by how this whole thing ended.

It was found that there was a can of gas
and it was bullet -ridden.

Those tear gas grenades hit that puddle
of gas that was created by the gas can

leaking, and that really caused a fire.

Never seen anybody not try to escape a
fire.

I think they were that committed, I
mean, or that crazy.

We're watching this for a couple hours,
and really there's very little dialogues

going on between us.

There was really nothing to say.

We all knew, and we didn't have to talk
about it, that what was happening before

our eyes on the television was our
responsibility.

That we got into this shit at Mel's
Sporting Goods Store and all of our

subsequent escapades trying to stay a
little bit ahead of the police had

them to end up being encircled.

We realized it's our fault.

I mean, it's really kind of on me. I'm
the one that got stopped coming out of

the store.

We will continue to monitor the scene
here and bring back reports to you as

occur. It's getting too dark to get a
picture. This is Bill Diaz in South Los

Angeles. For the history of Los Angeles
police, it is the longest, most intense

shootout in the city's history.

LAPD fired over 5 ,300 rounds.

SLA fired.

An estimated 3 ,000 or 4 ,000 rounds,
some of them were cookouts.

83 tear gas canisters were fired by
LAPD. There were 18 weapons recovered

the fire.

Two pipe bombs were found unexploded in
the location

after the fire.

23 homes were damaged in the shootout.

No police officers were shot and no
innocent bystanders were injured at all.

The coroner arrived at the scene, and
they were looking at the bodies and

to determine.

Everybody wanted to know if Patty Hearst
was there.

I actually had gone down to L .A. a few
days before to get away from it all.

We heard a bulletin saying they had the
SLA cornered somewhere in Compton. I got

in the car and drove up.

We got there. The place was a smoking
ruins.

You know, for a while it was
devastating. We had no idea who was

Five bodies were found initially.

The sixth body was not found until the
following day.

When they recovered that body, everybody
thought that was Patty Hearst.

And that's when everybody took a kind of
a breath like, my God, is it Patty? Was

she really there?

There were six SLA members inside the
house.

Nancy Ling Perry.

Camilla Hall, Patricia Soulstick, Willie
Wolf, Donald David

DeVries, Angela Abbott.

The news story became,

where's Patty Hearst? What's happened to
her?

Considering everything I've been through
up to that time in my life, throw

Vietnam in.

May 17, 1974 was the worst day of my
life.

I don't remember truly what anybody
really did or what any of us said, other

than the fact I remember that Patricia
wanted to retaliate immediately.

She was devastated and angry.

She loved somebody that had just been
murdered by the government.

It was necessary to keep going, you
know, to stay alive.

But I realized that, you know, we just
had to get the fuck out of L .A. We had

to live to fight another day.

FBI agents and California police hunted
for Patricia Hearst today as an armed

and extremely dangerous fugitive.

With few resources, little money, we had
to figure out what we were going to do

next. We realized that our only option
was to go back to where we just escaped

from.

But we had to wait a while. We waited
about two weeks.

We picked up Memorial Day.

It's going to be a lot of people on the
road. It's going to be more difficult

for them to isolate us in that traffic.

We had just bought a car.

Kind of an old car that Patricia laid
down on the back seat because they're

looking for three people.

We request that citizens assessing any
information relating to the

whereabouts of these badly wanted,
armed, and extremely dangerous

Patricia Hearst, William Harris, and
Emily Harris, immediately contact the

You know, we had hundreds of agents
covering leads. They were looking at

lots, stolen vehicle reports, anything
unusual.

At the end of the day, after the
shootout in Los Angeles, it's as though

disappeared.

As always with the SLA, they are drawn
ultimately to Berkeley because they feel

that's the only place that they can find
any sort of support.

And we get down into the hay and the
panhandle, and the car just dies.

We happen to be right in front of the
house of some people that we know.

We knock on the door, and they come to
the door, and they go, oh, shit, we

believe it.

The FBI just left here, man.

Next morning, they fed us, and they gave
us a bunch of cash that they had from

their savings.

Emily found us a place in East Oakland,
and we got to get to the East Bay.

We don't have a car. We have to ride
Muni now together, public transport.

are buses and trolleys.

Emily left her shotgun with me and her,
so between us, we had one of those big

shopping bags, and it was long enough to
keep all the weapons in.

It looked better for this woman to be
carrying the big shopping bag, so hers

carrying a heavy thing.

I mean, I remember thinking about it. It
was funny. We're riding, here we are,

riding the San Francisco Muni, bag full
of guns.

in the vicinity of where we had the
Golden Gate safe house.

It's insane, this crazy shit. We had a
unique capacity for survival.

We had to try to, you know, get some
people to help us out, and we needed to

some money without having to rob banks
to do it. We didn't need any more drama

that we couldn't deal with because we
were down to three people.

Thank you, Willie, Camilla, Miss Moon,
and Bahisa.

were viciously attacked and murdered by
500 pigs in L .A. while the whole nation

watched. There was one political rally,
and it was at Berkeley, and it was

organized and hosted by a woman named
Kathy Solia. Kathy Solia

was an actress, and she was Angela
Atwood's best friend.

We saw Kathleen Sawyer's picture in the
newspaper while she was giving a

memorial for Angela and the rest of the
comrades that died.

Kathy, I had met through Angela, and I
knew her a little tiny bit.

Normally, she would have not been a
person that I would look up because

was too much of a connection in the
recent past with Angela.

But we were desperate.

We ended up having this meeting with
her.

Kathy brought Jim, her boyfriend, and I
think her sister, Josephine, was with

her.

She wanted to help us. She wasn't afraid
that we were going to get her in

trouble. They gave us enough money to
keep us going for a minute.

Bill, Emily, and Patricia are like
hunted animals.

They are running from the law, running
from what they regard as certain death.

But they have one thing they want to do.
They want to memorialize the six of

their comrades who died.

At approximately 6 .30 this morning, the
radio station received an anonymous

call stating in effect that the SLA had
a communique for us.

The SLA ceased to exist after everybody
got killed.

The people that helped us stay alive
were not in the SLA.

The SLA was murdered.

We had to kind of send a last
communique, and we had to eulogize our

And Patricia, she wanted to do the
eulogies.

Greetings to the people.

This is Tanya.

I want to talk about the way I knew our
six murdered comrades, because the

fascist pig media has, of course, been
painting a typically distorted picture

these beautiful sisters and brothers.

Cujo was the gentlest, most beautiful
man I've ever known.

We loved each other so much.

Neither Cujo or I had ever loved an
individual the way we loved each other.

Probably because our relationship wasn't
based on bourgeois fucked -up values,

attitudes, and goals.

It's because of this that I still feel
strong and determined to fight.

I was ripped off by the pigs when they
murdered Cujo.

The pigs probably have the little old
-neck monkey that Cujo wore around his

neck.

She exactly described him as he was, as
she encountered him.

Now she talks about Sinque.

Sinque loved the people with tenderness
and respect.

He helped me see that it's not how long
we live that's important. It's how we

live. What we decide to do with our
lives.

I died in that fire on 54th Street.

But out of the ashes I was reborn.

I know what I have to do.

While I have no death wish, I have never
been afraid of death.

For this reason, the brainwashed arrest
theory of the pig hearths has always

amused me.

And I would never choose to live the
rest of my life surrounded by pigs like

hearths.

Death to the fascist insect that preys
upon the life of the people.

We got nothing.

We had no other option.

Kathy said to us that there was a
possibility she could hook us up with a

of hers named Jack Scott, and I realized
exactly who she was talking about.

But I had never met him. I only knew
that he was the sports editor for

magazine.

The first time I heard about the
Symbionese Liberation Army, Jack and I

moved to New York.

It was in the media.

It was very fascinating, especially
since we had lived in Berkeley for so

And then the massacre in L .A. happened.

Jack's first response was, I want to
write a piece. I want to write a story

about who these people are.

These are America's children.

Jim Kilgore and Kathy Salaya were a
couple at the time. And they came to him

said, we think we have some people that
you might be interested in meeting.

So Jack comes out to Berkeley, and they
blindfolded him and drove him around for

a while.

And then they ended up in this apartment
up in North Berkeley.

They took the blindfold off, and he was
sitting there with three very wanted

people, lots of ammunition, and not much
else.

And he, you know, he breaks into a huge
grin.

His first response was, I really would
like to tell your story.

And they said, that's not going to do us
any good. We have to get out of here.

Jack sold us on his ability to get us
out of the state. He didn't give us the

details at the time, but he said he had
the resources to do it. That's all we

wanted to hear.

Jack insisted that if we were going to
be transported across the country, we

couldn't bring any firearms.

I'm not going to put my family at risk.

there will be no guns. And that was a
huge argument.

And we struggled over that with him a
little bit. We didn't have any real

standing. We were pretty much at his
mercy. He was taking care of us, right?

The original plan was just to get us to
the East Coast.

Jack's idea was that he would contact
his parents who were in the area, and he

and Patty could ride with his mom and
dad.

as a couple sitting in the back seat.

Jack Scott's father, John, is driving.

Right before the four of them get on the
highway, he pulls over to the side of

the road and he says, Patty, listen to
me.

I'll take you anywhere you want to go.
You don't have to do this. You can just

go home.

And Patty Hearst looks at John Scott and
says, get the fuck on the road and

start driving.

So he got back on the freeway and headed
east.

A few days later, Jack and Patty show up
in New York, and there they were.

I think I probably was a little
starstruck. My recollection is that she

serious. She was on a mission.

And she would have me go out and get her
coffee in the New York Times every

morning because, of course, she couldn't
leave the apartment. And she would be

by herself for that, however long it
take me, half an hour.

I'd go out and come back and she would
sit in the living room with her pen and

she would circle names in the New York
Times.

And when I asked her what she was doing,
she was adding names to their hit list

or to the SLA hit list.

And she didn't appear to be afraid. She
was pretty intent on getting back, you

know, on continuing on with the
revolution.

Jack went back out and got Bill.

And another friend of ours had gone out
to get Emily.

I had found a lovely little farmhouse
not very far from where Jack was born

grew up.

They had rented the farmhouse in
Pennsylvania.

We're not going to be expected to be in
the area of grad and PA.

None of us have a connection to it.

It's a good choice.

It was big enough to not have neighbors
around.

We cooked together. We ate together.

We had conversations.

We recovered from the stress of being on
the run like we were.

We had a lot of space to roam around in.
Here we could go off and be by

ourselves.

They were traumatized, I think. I mean,
they had watched their friends and

comrades be murdered live on television.

From my perspective, to take a risk to
save lives is a risk worth

taking. I can't imagine how I would feel
if I didn't do it.

Jack had helped Wendy Yoshimura leave
the Bay Area when she was wanted. He

her to come live with us for a while.

She hit it off with Patty from the
beginning.

In 1974, I was working in San Francisco
PD cases where somebody had fled across

the state line.

Wendy Yoshimura, her boyfriend, had a
guy by the name of Willie Brandt who had

been arrested and convicted of a bombing
in Alameda County.

She was being charged as an accomplice.
And so she took off.

When I was assigned the Wendy Yoshimura
case, we had no information that

she was associated with the Hearst
investigation until we got a teletype

lead in from New Jersey where Wendy
might be located.

At some point in there, Jack's talking
about a book and making it clear that,

you know, the money that's supporting us
is going to soon run out and maybe this

will be a way to get some resources at
some point.

Jack, he was like a bulldog, you know,
when he had an idea of how something

would be, should be.

He could be like, he wouldn't let go of
it. It was really not about making

money. It was about getting the story
out, trying to get people to understand.

why they were doing what they were
doing. He knew that this was probably an

interesting book. Why would middle
-class, educated white people pick up

and wage revolution against the
government in ways that would probably

killed? What would motivate them to do
such a crazy thing?

We had a friend. He came to the
farmhouse. He was doing tapes towards

this book. We took turns transcribing
the tapes.

Patty Hearst writing.

her revolutionary statement. She did a
lengthy document where she talked about

her life and how she felt about her
parents and Willy Wolf.

She is, as in her own words, a radical,
a revolutionary feminist, someone who

believes in world revolution.

I started to feel that this was never
going to be beneficial to us. And in the

end, I didn't like what we created.

It just sounded hokey.

And we wouldn't give him the manuscript.

We destroyed the tapes.

And that really pissed Jack off.

I think there was a lot of conflict
around that.

Jack Scott, who's a real journalist,
starts to recognize that there's no book

coming out of this. And he's stuck now.

with these fugitives in his farmhouse.

I know there was a single moment when
Jack said, I'm done, and left, and

wouldn't go back to the farmhouse.

I think Jack was a little bit afraid of
us anyway.

The fact of the matter is we had a
falling out and we had to leave.

And I was like, okay, and that was it.

The group has to figure out where to go.

And they reached back out to Kathy
Solia.

And we were like, going back to
California is just crazy.

But they were adamant that that's where
their army was and that's where they had

to go.

He had agreed to take Patty as far as
Las Vegas, but he said, I'm not taking

into California.

That's insane. And Bill and Emily,
you're on your own figuring out how to

back.

Jack and Patty were in the van and Jack
got pulled over and she was disguised as

a pregnant woman.

At one point in their travels, Jack
Scott and Patty Hearst were stopped for

speeding by an Iowa State trooper.

She could say, oh, by the way, officer,
I'm Patty Hearst. Take me in. I want to

surrender. And Patty Hearst says
nothing.

Scott quickly jumped out of his van and
started gabbing with the trooper about

Iowa's upset football victory that day
over UCLA.

The report says the trooper smiled, put
away his ticket book, and drove off

without ever seeing Miss Hearst in the
van.

Jack Scott drives Patty Hearst to Las
Vegas.

And he leaves her in a motel there. And
for two days, she is on her own.

She could surrender. She could leave.

But instead, she waits for one of the
team.

In this case, Jim Kilgore takes her from
Las Vegas to Sacramento.

Emily and I took a train all the way
across to go to Sacramento.

The comrades who were going to help us
get set up, they decided Sacramento was

reasonable location that they probably
wouldn't look for us there. In

Sacramento, there's a new cast of
characters.

Wendy Yoshimura, Kathy Solia, Steve
Solia, Josephine Solia, Jim Kilgore, and

Mike Borden, a very excitable member of
the group, joins them in Sacramento.

Mike Borden is a little bit of a wild
man.

First time I met Mike.

He talked about wanting to do an
operation while on LSD.

I had nothing to do with Patty Hearst
being kidnapped, although it may be one

the few things I wouldn't mind taking
credit for.

I didn't meet Patty Hearst until the
three of them came back from

hiding out in the country.

She had a pretty vivacious personality.

She used to call Bill Little Hitler.

That tells you a lot right there.

Mike and I butted heads.

You know, we never got in... I think we
had a good shoving match one time.

Now that I think about it. We were just
hiding them out.

We didn't agree with their philosophy,
but they were being hunted like animals.

Kathy, she got Jim Kilgore and...

Steve involved.

Steve Sully is Kathy Sully's younger
brother.

He even wasn't radical per se. He was a
progressive -minded person. He was a

pretty low -key, easy -going guy.

Patty Hearst and Steve Sully develop a
relationship.

And they wind up living together for
quite some time.

They fall in love.

And it's just an illustration of how she
has become part of the group.

We took this lawyer up to meet them
because hopefully we're going to try to

him to Cuba.

So right in the middle of it, Patty
says, I'll see you guys later. I'm going

go get some stuff at the store.

And he's like, he's like in shock. Like,
I thought she was brainwashed. I

thought she was kidnapped. You know,
like, what the fuck?

She was superhero.

You know, I mean, you can't help it. I
mean.

This little tiny girl with the big
machine gun and giving up all that

I mean, what can you say? How many
people have been in that situation, you

How can you not love someone like that?

There was this one day in the park.

She's sitting up there, clearly a
mixture of different emotions. That's

makes it so interesting.

She says, well, you know, sometimes I
wish someone would just...

snatch me again, take me to New York or
something, get out of this shit.

Since I cannot mail you a letter, Patty,
I'm reading this over the air and

hoping and praying that it will reach
you.

My darling Patty, Christmas is almost
upon us again, and I'm sure you must

realize... our agony as we face the
possibility of a Christmas without you.

Dad and I find it too painful to
continue living here with so many

you and are moving to an apartment in
the city in a few months.

I spend many hours a day praying that
God will inspire you to come back to us,

hopefully at Christmas, with all our
love, Mother.

The FBI was doing anything they could to
attempt to locate these people, and

they were not being successful.

They were living under assumed names.

They were renting multiple apartments
under assumed names.

They were making it almost impossible
for us to find them. These people really

knew what they were doing.

What had happened was we had developed
information that Wendy Yoshimura's

fingerprints had been found in
Honesdale, Pennsylvania, in a farmhouse.

And we'd received the information from a
gentleman by the name of Walter Scott.

Jack's brother was a very troubled man.

And he was drunk and went into the FBI
office and said, hey.

I think Patty Harris was in this
farmhouse.

We wiped down the entire house.

Every surface got cleaned with bleach
and cleaners.

They ended up finding inside of a
mattress a piece of newspaper that had

fingerprint on it.

And what really had happened was, one
night when we were still there, she woke

up in the middle of the night and...

There's a big spider on her bed and she
freaked out and she tore up the bedroom

looking for the damn spider again. Got
us all in there looking. We're all

looking for a spider. Nobody can find a
spider.

She picks up the mattress and underneath
the mattress she sees there's a little

quarter -sized hole in the bottom of the
mattress.

She figures that the only possible place
the spider could have disappeared to is

inside that hole underneath the
mattress.

And so she wadded up a piece of
newspaper and pushed it up inside.

So that was pretty thorough. I thought
that was pretty good. I gave him a point

for that one.

That tied the Hearst case to Wendy.

And that's when the case was assigned to
me.

This case is wound down from being the
number one priority case in the FBI.

So it's gone from hundreds of agents and
we're down now to four.

They know Wendy Yoshimura is the ex -
girlfriend of a bomber who is in

prison named Willie Brandt. And they see
that she has visited Willie Brandt in

prison. They also see that some of the
soleus have visited Willie Brandt in

prison.

And it's through this that the FBI
begins to identify the cell, the group

is now sheltering Patty Hearst in
Sacramento.

Jack and Mickey Scott had been
underground. They stayed underground,

they decided to become public.

They said they would not cooperate with
the FBI trying to find the SLA.

So the FBI couldn't get any information
because nobody would talk to the FBI.

For me, it was relatively easy to find
these people and talk to them, and they

would all talk to me.

All I'd have to say is I'm writing for
Rolling Stone.

It really wasn't very difficult to get
sources.

Everyone wanted to be in Rolling Stone
one way or the other.

And I think we had 33 sources by the
time we published.

No, we know that most of that came from
Jack.

He'd like given information that made it
available to the FBI about intimate

details of his harboring us without
claiming that it was him.

Jack Scott was the primary source.

Jack sat down with Howard and me and
started telling us everything he knew.

And it seemed like it was his way of
getting back at us for us not letting

have the materials, right?

The FBI called us up and said, give me
part two before you publish or we're

going to cut you off at the knee.

After we hid out, our lawyer got in
touch with Randolph Hurst and set up

dinner at his house.

He was totally accepting of her having
joined the group.

He said she's been a rebel her whole
life.

And it didn't surprise him.

And I said, you know, she was upset
about her mother accepting the

to the Board of Regents when she was a
kidnap victim. And he said, yeah, I

didn't know she was going to do that.

He said, that really made me angry. He
said, I'm going to get rid of the

when this is over.

He came across as a father who was
really distressed about his daughter.

Do you think anything can be done to
help her to surface?

No, I think if she services, she'll
surface because she wants to come back.

I hope she does. I hope she comes back
that way.

It seemed with all the fanfare and all
the support for Patty Hearst that there

would be money flowing in, but it didn't
happen, not in the slightest.

The only cash we had was what I got from
painting.

houses down there while they were
plotting.

It was a tough existence.

So we started having discussions about
expropriation again.

Really, no one wanted to be involved in
crime.

They wanted to be involved in political
activities.

And all of a sudden, everything being
done is criminal shit.

We needed a bank without...

Electronic security systems.

The Crocker National Bank in Carmichael,
California, was selected.

People let bravado take over and didn't

ask themselves enough, are we ready for
something like this?

Do we have the calmness under pressure
to do something like this?

And the answer was no.

Yeah, April 21st, 1975.

It was a Monday morning.

I had just turned 15.

I woke up about 4 o 'clock that morning
to get my homework done.

And I couldn't find a pen in the house
that worked anywhere.

And I was angry with my mom for not
having a good supply of pens in the

for me to use.

I remember her promising, I'll be sure
to pick up more pens.

She was a church clerk.

and one of a group of women that would
count the weekend offerings and take

into the bank every Monday morning.

Crocker National Bank, it had a perfect
setup.

So it was ideal.

And we struggled, if anything, we
struggled on who was going to go in.

Everybody wants to go in, maybe, you
know what I mean? Everybody wants to be

one doing this. So then we had a big
discussion.

Well, naturally, I should be leader
because I was cool as a cucumber,

No, we have to have the woman doing it.
We have to make a statement and all

that. Fuck that.

Emily's never been in a bank before.

In the end, we decided two men and two
women would go in.

Jim, Mike, Emily, and Kathleen.

Steve and I would be in a backup car.

Patty was in a third car with Wendy.

My day started on April 21st, 1975, just
like any other day. When the bank

opened at 10 o 'clock, we opened up the
doors. I went back to my counter.

In fact, I believe one of the SLA
members held the door open for my mom

other two women to go in ahead of them.
And so there's three of them, and she

was carrying this big, heavy, old -style
calculator.

Next thing you know, they're screaming
at the back door.

My mom had this big adding machine in
her hands and wanted to set it down on

counter. Emily, she had taken the safety
off of her shotgun and it discharged.

That split second of an instant, Mrs.
Opsowell shot with a 12 -gauge shotgun

from about six or seven feet from me.

And Emily was so nervous.

That's why she did it. She was so
fucking nervous.

People were screaming, yelling, cussing
at us, pistol -whipping people, jumping

over counters,

cocking shotguns at the back of our
head.

You motherfuckers better put your heads
in the dirt or we're going to blow your

motherfucking heads off.

There was a young woman there that was
pregnant that they beat her up and she

lost her baby.

And I remember putting my hand over my
mouth so I wouldn't...

subconsciously or otherwise, wouldn't
allow any sound to come out.

And then it was over.

I remember going to the kitchen and
getting towels to try to pack Mrs.

wounds.

We put the towels on her body.

It just went through her.

And so we knew there was nothing that
could be done. We just sat with her

they came.

And after they took her away, we cleaned
up the blood that was left on the

floor.

We couldn't just leave the mess.

And there was nobody there to take care
of it but us.

The mother of four was killed.

We killed her.

Fuck.

Fuck, fuck, fuck.

My dad actually was a surgeon.

I found out later that he had been one
of the doctors that tried to resuscitate

her when they brought her in and was the
last to step away. And I think one of

them kind of had to insist that he stop
because he

wouldn't on his own.

Couldn't imagine having to do that.

For the first few days after my mom was
murdered and up until the funeral,

things were really in a fog. It was just
in a state of shock.

Patty was driving the getaway car.

And according to the felony murder roll,
anybody who is a participant in a

felony and there is a murder, they're
also...

responsible for that murder.

From April 21st, 1975, we've all lived
with the death of Myrna Hobson.

It being an accident doesn't change
anything.

It didn't change anything about what I
was doing. It didn't alter my path.

It didn't do that for any of us.

It made us all amazingly introspective,
but we came to the same conclusion. We

had to carry on.

Like many 19 -year -olds, she's open to
the sense of adventure.

Not skiing in Switzerland.

This is not skiing in Switzerland.

56 days in the closet turned her into an
urban gorilla.

Patty Hearst places a bomb under a
police car. We were clearly outgunned.

knew we were in for a fight.

Said, I'm going to kill her if you don't
come back. Did the daughter of an

American millionaire turn revolutionary?

And if so, why?

It may be called the trial of the
century.
