Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:17,292 --> 00:00:19,375
"Don't ask me what to do."
2
00:00:19,459 --> 00:00:23,375
I said, "you know what to do."
3
00:00:23,459 --> 00:00:27,000
Maybe I should have
killed 400, 500 people,
4
00:00:27,083 --> 00:00:29,792
then I would've felt better.
5
00:00:29,876 --> 00:00:31,042
Then I would've felt like
6
00:00:31,125 --> 00:00:33,584
I really offered society something.
7
00:00:57,584 --> 00:01:00,834
Welcome to "very scary people."
I'm Donnie wahlberg.
8
00:01:00,918 --> 00:01:03,125
Tonight, we unravel the twisted tale
9
00:01:03,209 --> 00:01:06,292
of one of america's most
despicable criminal minds...
10
00:01:06,375 --> 00:01:09,751
Charles manson... a man
whose evil resulted in a series
11
00:01:09,834 --> 00:01:13,167
of vicious murders that still
haunt the nation's conscience.
12
00:01:13,250 --> 00:01:15,417
Decades have not erased
the bloody trail of terror
13
00:01:15,500 --> 00:01:18,334
left by manson and his deadly disciples.
14
00:01:18,417 --> 00:01:20,459
He cold-bloodedly commanded
his hippy followers
15
00:01:20,542 --> 00:01:23,334
to carry out the brutal murders
of innocent people,
16
00:01:23,417 --> 00:01:28,292
including actress Sharon Tate
and leno and Rosemary labianca.
17
00:01:28,375 --> 00:01:31,334
Those horrific slayings
indelibly seared his name
18
00:01:31,417 --> 00:01:35,918
at the very top of america's
list of very scary people.
19
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:38,375
But why did he do it, who was Charlie,
20
00:01:38,459 --> 00:01:40,584
and how as he able
to convince his followers,
21
00:01:40,667 --> 00:01:42,667
many of them bright, young people,
22
00:01:42,751 --> 00:01:45,000
to commit unspeakable acts of violence
23
00:01:45,083 --> 00:01:47,542
against unsuspecting strangers?
24
00:01:47,626 --> 00:01:50,667
This is part one
of "the devil's work."
25
00:02:03,250 --> 00:02:04,584
In August of 1969,
26
00:02:04,667 --> 00:02:06,459
19-year-old William garretson
27
00:02:06,542 --> 00:02:12,959
is a fill-in summer caretaker
at 10050 cielo drive.
28
00:02:13,042 --> 00:02:16,334
It is an exclusive Beverly Hills property
29
00:02:16,417 --> 00:02:20,375
being rented by world-renowned
film director Roman polanski
30
00:02:20,459 --> 00:02:24,417
and his stunning wife,
actress Sharon Tate.
31
00:02:24,500 --> 00:02:27,250
Now, the owner of the property
has to go out of town a lot,
32
00:02:27,334 --> 00:02:32,334
so he pays garretson
$35 per week to pet sit.
33
00:02:32,417 --> 00:02:34,125
He was there to take care of a dog
34
00:02:34,209 --> 00:02:38,000
and to do some chores around the house.
35
00:02:38,083 --> 00:02:42,042
But because the polanskis and
their friends are celebrities,
36
00:02:42,125 --> 00:02:46,709
garretson is under orders
to never, ever bother them...
37
00:02:46,792 --> 00:02:51,083
Even though the main house
is just 25 yards away.
38
00:02:51,167 --> 00:02:53,584
Now, the young man has no idea
39
00:02:53,667 --> 00:02:55,500
that after the night of August 8th,
40
00:02:55,584 --> 00:02:57,834
his life will never be the same.
41
00:03:01,542 --> 00:03:07,959
Garretson was gonna
call it early and not go out.
42
00:03:08,042 --> 00:03:11,000
Suddenly, garretson hears loud voices
43
00:03:11,083 --> 00:03:13,083
coming from the polanskis' house.
44
00:03:16,792 --> 00:03:19,626
And then, when he picks up the phone,
45
00:03:19,709 --> 00:03:22,334
the line is dead.
46
00:03:22,417 --> 00:03:26,292
I think garretson was
probably scared to death.
47
00:03:26,375 --> 00:03:30,292
As garretson is hearing those screams,
48
00:03:30,375 --> 00:03:34,375
absolute carnage is happening on the lawn
49
00:03:34,459 --> 00:03:37,751
and inside that house.
50
00:03:37,834 --> 00:03:39,042
It was a killing spree
51
00:03:39,125 --> 00:03:41,209
that horrified the entire country.
52
00:03:41,292 --> 00:03:42,292
People were slaughtered,
53
00:03:42,375 --> 00:03:44,209
including actress Sharon Tate,
54
00:03:44,292 --> 00:03:45,500
8 1/2 months pregnant
55
00:03:45,584 --> 00:03:47,918
and married to director Roman polanski.
56
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:51,042
What unfolds that night
at 10050 cielo drive
57
00:03:51,125 --> 00:03:55,834
was set in motion by just
one man... Charles manson.
58
00:04:01,042 --> 00:04:02,459
According to Charlie,
59
00:04:02,542 --> 00:04:06,042
he was the son of an unwed
teenage prostitute
60
00:04:06,125 --> 00:04:07,667
who cared so little about her son
61
00:04:07,751 --> 00:04:10,751
that once, she tried to sell him
for a pitcher of beer.
62
00:04:10,834 --> 00:04:15,667
I spent the best part of my life
in boys' schools, prisons,
63
00:04:15,751 --> 00:04:19,626
and reform schools because I had nobody.
64
00:04:19,709 --> 00:04:23,375
Nobody would come and sign
their name to take me out.
65
00:04:23,459 --> 00:04:27,459
I never had no parents to speak of.
66
00:04:27,542 --> 00:04:30,292
None of that's true.
67
00:04:30,375 --> 00:04:33,375
Charles manson's mother did go to prison
68
00:04:33,459 --> 00:04:36,125
when Charlie was 5.
69
00:04:36,209 --> 00:04:38,876
She and her brother
tried to Rob somebody.
70
00:04:38,959 --> 00:04:42,417
They were sentenced
to two years in prison.
71
00:04:42,500 --> 00:04:46,209
But little Charlie was
taken in by loving relatives,
72
00:04:46,292 --> 00:04:50,417
his grandmother, his aunt,
his cousin Jo Ann.
73
00:04:50,500 --> 00:04:52,209
When his mother was released from prison,
74
00:04:52,292 --> 00:04:56,959
she certainly loved him and wanted him.
75
00:04:57,042 --> 00:04:59,209
The problem was that Charlie himself
76
00:04:59,292 --> 00:05:02,500
was a rotten little kid
from the word "go."
77
00:05:02,584 --> 00:05:04,626
He would lie about everything.
78
00:05:04,709 --> 00:05:07,417
He was sometimes violent.
79
00:05:07,500 --> 00:05:09,459
Charlie's cousin Jo Ann said
80
00:05:09,542 --> 00:05:12,042
that when Charlie's in first grade,
81
00:05:12,125 --> 00:05:13,751
a boy was mean to him,
82
00:05:13,834 --> 00:05:16,125
and Charlie had
some of the girls in class
83
00:05:16,209 --> 00:05:18,584
beat the boy up at recess.
84
00:05:18,667 --> 00:05:21,209
When the principal said to
Charlie, "why did you do this?"
85
00:05:21,292 --> 00:05:22,959
Charlie said, "it wasn't me.
86
00:05:23,042 --> 00:05:27,584
The girls were doing
what they wanted to do."
87
00:05:27,667 --> 00:05:30,000
He kept running away.
88
00:05:30,083 --> 00:05:34,417
By the time he's 13,
he's pulling armed robberies.
89
00:05:34,500 --> 00:05:36,167
And I burglarized a grocery store,
90
00:05:36,250 --> 00:05:40,083
and I stole the car and didn't
know how to shift gears.
91
00:05:40,167 --> 00:05:42,792
He starts in the reformatory system.
92
00:05:42,876 --> 00:05:47,167
Charles manson told me that he was abused
93
00:05:47,250 --> 00:05:49,834
at all these reform schools,
94
00:05:49,918 --> 00:05:54,500
physically beaten, sexually abused.
95
00:05:54,584 --> 00:05:57,209
After being preyed on
in his first few years,
96
00:05:57,292 --> 00:05:59,292
he became a predator himself.
97
00:05:59,375 --> 00:06:01,959
At one point, he was caught
sodomizing another boy
98
00:06:02,042 --> 00:06:06,042
while holding a sharp object
at the kid's throat.
99
00:06:06,125 --> 00:06:11,626
There was no amount of harm
or hurt that he could inflict
100
00:06:11,709 --> 00:06:14,083
on the world, in his mind,
101
00:06:14,167 --> 00:06:18,000
that could ever fill
the sense of being the victim.
102
00:06:18,083 --> 00:06:19,709
Nobody cares.
103
00:06:19,792 --> 00:06:23,626
When it comes right down to it,
nobody cares.
104
00:06:23,709 --> 00:06:27,751
It's only when he's 19,
after seven years in institutions,
105
00:06:27,834 --> 00:06:31,375
that Charlie finally
gets out of the system.
106
00:06:31,459 --> 00:06:36,125
Yet Charlie soon reverts
to what he knows best...
107
00:06:36,209 --> 00:06:39,918
Stealing cars.
108
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:42,500
At 21, Charlie's crime lands him
109
00:06:42,584 --> 00:06:48,042
at the terminal island federal
penitentiary in Los Angeles.
110
00:06:48,125 --> 00:06:49,709
You can't understand Charlie manson
111
00:06:49,792 --> 00:06:51,709
without understanding his criminal past
112
00:06:51,792 --> 00:06:53,375
and his time in jail.
113
00:06:53,459 --> 00:06:56,042
And in order for him to survive,
114
00:06:56,125 --> 00:06:59,959
he developed skills to manipulate people.
115
00:07:00,042 --> 00:07:03,417
Prison is where manson
perfected the art of the con,
116
00:07:03,500 --> 00:07:06,209
and he's inspired
by a very unlikely source,
117
00:07:06,292 --> 00:07:10,417
perhaps the most famous voice
in self-improvement ever.
118
00:07:10,500 --> 00:07:15,584
His personal guru is none other
than Dale carnegie.
119
00:07:15,667 --> 00:07:19,375
"How to win friends
and influence people."
120
00:07:19,459 --> 00:07:21,792
And when you talk now to his followers,
121
00:07:21,876 --> 00:07:24,042
"how did Charlie attract you?"
122
00:07:24,125 --> 00:07:26,876
And they would say, "oh, it was
like he looked in my soul.
123
00:07:26,959 --> 00:07:31,250
Chapter seven of "how to win
friends and influence people,"
124
00:07:31,334 --> 00:07:33,459
word for word.
125
00:07:36,459 --> 00:07:39,667
He's briefly released
in 1958 in Los Angeles,
126
00:07:39,751 --> 00:07:42,292
but when he can't hold down
a regular job,
127
00:07:42,375 --> 00:07:46,292
Charlie decides to think outside the box.
128
00:07:46,375 --> 00:07:48,584
He sets himself up as a pimp.
129
00:07:48,667 --> 00:07:51,250
He racks up more arrests
for transporting women
130
00:07:51,334 --> 00:07:56,125
across state lines
for the purpose of prostitution.
131
00:07:56,209 --> 00:07:58,876
He talked to inmates
about being a better pimp.
132
00:07:58,959 --> 00:08:03,417
They instructed Charlie
how to find the right Mark,
133
00:08:03,500 --> 00:08:08,250
to find young, vulnerable women
on their own,
134
00:08:08,334 --> 00:08:11,334
women who had no one else to rely on.
135
00:08:14,542 --> 00:08:17,751
Manson immediately
started telling the counselors
136
00:08:17,834 --> 00:08:21,459
in prison that he was going
to be a musician.
137
00:08:21,542 --> 00:08:26,250
He starts writing his own songs,
performing in prison shows.
138
00:08:26,334 --> 00:08:30,792
He thought, "when I get out,
I can play guitar
139
00:08:30,876 --> 00:08:37,042
and make money somehow
in the music industry."
140
00:08:37,125 --> 00:08:40,042
In 1967, Charles manson is told
141
00:08:40,125 --> 00:08:43,167
that he's finally about to be paroled.
142
00:08:46,083 --> 00:08:48,834
He's going back into the real world.
143
00:09:03,083 --> 00:09:04,250
In the summer of '67,
144
00:09:04,334 --> 00:09:07,334
manson heads north to San Francisco,
145
00:09:07,417 --> 00:09:11,584
and he comes face to face
with the age of aquarius.
146
00:09:11,667 --> 00:09:15,834
That was basically the beginning
of the summer of love.
147
00:09:15,918 --> 00:09:17,459
And they were free in their thinking.
148
00:09:17,542 --> 00:09:21,292
And there was no fear
or paranoia to them,
149
00:09:21,375 --> 00:09:24,042
and they'd come up and say,
"well, we like you."
150
00:09:24,125 --> 00:09:26,709
I said, "you like me?
Hell, nobody likes me."
151
00:09:26,792 --> 00:09:30,459
Everybody was a hippie then.
152
00:09:30,542 --> 00:09:35,000
Peace, love, weed, sex, music.
153
00:09:35,083 --> 00:09:36,500
You say, "well, you give
our kids drugs."
154
00:09:36,584 --> 00:09:38,834
I'd say, "man, your kids
gave me the drugs."
155
00:09:38,918 --> 00:09:40,584
They were already loaded.
156
00:09:40,667 --> 00:09:45,125
And all sorts of weird gurus
going around.
157
00:09:47,334 --> 00:09:50,792
Charlie comes out of
prison wanting to be a super pimp,
158
00:09:50,876 --> 00:09:54,042
but people who know him say
he quickly realizes
159
00:09:54,125 --> 00:09:55,584
he can't make money from sex
160
00:09:55,667 --> 00:10:00,375
when all the hippies are into free love.
161
00:10:00,459 --> 00:10:04,375
And so Charlie reinvents
himself as a guru,
162
00:10:04,459 --> 00:10:09,042
and he has equal parts
Dale carnegie, the Bible,
163
00:10:09,125 --> 00:10:13,375
and his own prison bs, and he
goes out and starts preaching.
164
00:10:13,459 --> 00:10:18,500
The target would be young,
lonely, vulnerable women.
165
00:10:18,584 --> 00:10:20,375
They came from good families.
166
00:10:20,459 --> 00:10:24,584
So, how did they get sucked
into manson's cult?
167
00:10:24,667 --> 00:10:28,542
There was an induction process,
drugs and sex.
168
00:10:32,542 --> 00:10:35,834
They would take LSD, he would have sex,
169
00:10:35,918 --> 00:10:38,334
and then he would, like,
whisper in their ear,
170
00:10:38,417 --> 00:10:42,417
and he would tell them about love.
171
00:10:42,500 --> 00:10:45,959
Charlie showered me with love
and affection and adoration,
172
00:10:46,042 --> 00:10:47,417
and the girls, too.
173
00:10:47,500 --> 00:10:51,417
It was like, "oh, I'm home."
174
00:10:51,500 --> 00:10:54,292
And the key to his power and control
175
00:10:54,375 --> 00:10:57,209
was to simply convince his followers
176
00:10:57,292 --> 00:10:59,083
that he was almost a Messiah,
177
00:10:59,167 --> 00:11:02,167
that he held all the answers
to their problems,
178
00:11:02,250 --> 00:11:04,125
and that they could find peace and love
179
00:11:04,209 --> 00:11:05,876
and Serenity in their lives
180
00:11:05,959 --> 00:11:09,834
if they would just do
exactly what he said.
181
00:11:11,459 --> 00:11:12,667
As time goes on,
182
00:11:12,751 --> 00:11:16,417
those women become
even more manipulatable,
183
00:11:16,500 --> 00:11:21,250
more malleable in his hands
to a darker demonic future.
184
00:11:24,083 --> 00:11:28,417
Manson was able to finagle
an old school bus
185
00:11:28,500 --> 00:11:32,042
that would hold about 35 people,
186
00:11:32,125 --> 00:11:34,834
painted it black for attention,
187
00:11:34,918 --> 00:11:36,209
and so they would travel
188
00:11:36,292 --> 00:11:41,417
and they would live in the school bus.
189
00:11:41,500 --> 00:11:44,083
Charlie worked his way
to the sunset strip, I.A.,
190
00:11:44,167 --> 00:11:46,459
which was the heavy music scene.
191
00:11:46,542 --> 00:11:51,709
Charlie believes he is destined
to be a rock star
192
00:11:51,792 --> 00:11:55,792
and to have everything he never had.
193
00:11:55,876 --> 00:11:57,167
I think he came out of prison
194
00:11:57,250 --> 00:11:59,584
with like 80-some songs
that he'd written.
195
00:12:08,292 --> 00:12:10,751
He wanted to be like
the beach boys or Mick Jagger,
196
00:12:10,834 --> 00:12:12,250
whoever you wanted to say.
197
00:12:12,334 --> 00:12:14,459
That was Charlie's ideal.
198
00:12:18,375 --> 00:12:19,918
In may of 1968,
199
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:22,417
manson moved the family to spahn ranch
200
00:12:22,500 --> 00:12:25,083
just outside Los Angeles.
201
00:12:25,167 --> 00:12:27,751
Spahn ranch was described as a movie set.
202
00:12:27,834 --> 00:12:30,209
There was kind of a western street
203
00:12:30,292 --> 00:12:34,626
with board sidewalks and faux saloons.
204
00:12:34,709 --> 00:12:36,918
It was pretty much a dump.
205
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:40,500
George spahn, the old owner,
was nearly blind.
206
00:12:40,584 --> 00:12:41,751
The old man was the boss.
207
00:12:41,834 --> 00:12:45,292
Whatever the old man said,
we did, you dig?
208
00:12:45,375 --> 00:12:48,292
He let us stay there free rent, you dig?
209
00:12:48,375 --> 00:12:52,000
It didn't hurt to have girls
tending to George
210
00:12:52,083 --> 00:12:56,334
on a regular basis,
you know, cleaning his house,
211
00:12:56,417 --> 00:12:59,167
giving him some sex.
212
00:12:59,250 --> 00:13:01,918
Lynette fromme was assigned by manson
213
00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:06,542
to live with George and to
fulfill his every whim.
214
00:13:06,626 --> 00:13:10,834
And George liked to pinch her
a lot, and she would squeal.
215
00:13:10,918 --> 00:13:13,584
And George is the one
that nicknamed her "squeaky."
216
00:13:13,667 --> 00:13:18,000
Fast forward to 1975, the world will know
217
00:13:18,083 --> 00:13:21,876
Lynette fromme as "squeaky" fromme,
218
00:13:21,959 --> 00:13:24,459
who tried to assassinate
219
00:13:24,542 --> 00:13:27,709
then-president Gerald Ford with a gun.
220
00:13:31,834 --> 00:13:35,209
Charles manson knew that somehow
221
00:13:35,292 --> 00:13:40,459
he was destined to enter
the recording industry,
222
00:13:40,542 --> 00:13:43,125
and it's just going to come down to,
223
00:13:43,209 --> 00:13:48,083
can he get one break, one random act,
224
00:13:48,167 --> 00:13:49,751
one introduction?
225
00:13:49,834 --> 00:13:52,542
And he does.
226
00:13:52,626 --> 00:13:55,500
When he and his family
first came to Los Angeles,
227
00:13:55,584 --> 00:14:00,375
he sent all the women out to
troll for a famous musician.
228
00:14:00,459 --> 00:14:02,125
As it happened, pat krenwinkel
229
00:14:02,209 --> 00:14:04,375
and another woman called
"yeller" were walking
230
00:14:04,459 --> 00:14:08,876
along the road, and here comes
Dennis Wilson in his car.
231
00:14:08,959 --> 00:14:11,918
He was the beach boys' drummer.
232
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:15,834
And not surprising,
he took these two girls
233
00:14:15,918 --> 00:14:18,083
back to his house.
234
00:14:18,167 --> 00:14:21,334
They were telling Dennis
all about, you know,
235
00:14:21,417 --> 00:14:25,167
this cool little guy, Charlie,
and got him intrigued.
236
00:14:25,250 --> 00:14:28,209
Back then, a lot of musicians had gurus.
237
00:14:28,292 --> 00:14:31,709
You know, cat Stevens, the Beatles.
238
00:14:31,792 --> 00:14:35,042
That was, like, the in thing,
was to have a guru.
239
00:14:35,125 --> 00:14:36,792
But a lot of lives were destroyed
240
00:14:36,876 --> 00:14:42,375
because of that insane nonsense
that Charlie was trying to sell.
241
00:14:50,709 --> 00:14:53,292
Dennis Wilson goes
to a recording session.
242
00:14:53,375 --> 00:14:57,375
He comes back home that night
to find that there's this tribe
243
00:14:57,459 --> 00:14:59,834
of weird-looking people in his house,
244
00:14:59,918 --> 00:15:02,209
making themselves at home.
245
00:15:02,292 --> 00:15:04,209
You know, inviting him in.
246
00:15:04,292 --> 00:15:06,209
And he walks up to the leader, Charlie.
247
00:15:06,292 --> 00:15:08,209
Dennis said, "you're not gonna
kill me, are you?"
248
00:15:08,292 --> 00:15:10,626
And Charlie drops down on his knees,
249
00:15:10,709 --> 00:15:12,167
kisses Dennis' feet, and said,
250
00:15:12,250 --> 00:15:17,375
"do I look like
I'm gonna hurt you, man?"
251
00:15:17,459 --> 00:15:19,709
It was shortly thereafter that there just
252
00:15:19,792 --> 00:15:23,667
a small group of us
that moved into Dennis'.
253
00:15:23,751 --> 00:15:25,918
And the girls are taking off
their clothes,
254
00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:28,167
ready to do anything Dennis wants.
255
00:15:28,250 --> 00:15:30,375
Dennis said, "hey,
gregg, you got to come down, man.
256
00:15:30,459 --> 00:15:31,584
You got to meet this guy.
257
00:15:31,667 --> 00:15:32,918
He's here with
a bunch of girls."
258
00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:34,792
Bruce Johnson and I,
259
00:15:34,876 --> 00:15:37,459
we were invited to dinner
at Dennis' house.
260
00:15:37,542 --> 00:15:41,459
And we got there, and Bruce
and I were the only people
261
00:15:41,542 --> 00:15:43,626
with clothing on at dinner,
262
00:15:43,709 --> 00:15:45,584
so I thought that was kind of unusual.
263
00:15:47,792 --> 00:15:52,834
Endless orgies and endless drug parties.
264
00:15:52,918 --> 00:15:58,125
It was just all there with
Charlie manson orchestrating it.
265
00:16:00,834 --> 00:16:02,167
Dennis was having, you know,
266
00:16:02,250 --> 00:16:05,209
issues with his ex-wife
and custody of the kids.
267
00:16:05,292 --> 00:16:08,083
Manson played on Dennis' insecurities.
268
00:16:08,167 --> 00:16:11,250
People like Charlie manson can smell it.
269
00:16:11,334 --> 00:16:14,042
I mean, he's like a heat-seeking missile.
270
00:16:14,125 --> 00:16:16,834
He could look at someone,
he could size them up,
271
00:16:16,918 --> 00:16:19,334
and gain undue influence over them.
272
00:16:19,417 --> 00:16:22,000
Dennis had been with the maharishi,
273
00:16:22,083 --> 00:16:25,751
the same maharishi
that the Beatles were with.
274
00:16:25,834 --> 00:16:32,209
Dennis Wilson moved from
the maharishi to the manson.
275
00:16:32,292 --> 00:16:37,667
Dennis was a celebrity that was
available for using and abusing.
276
00:16:37,751 --> 00:16:43,417
Dennis paid for the numerous
sexually transmitted diseases
277
00:16:43,500 --> 00:16:47,751
that these girls had and paying
for medical treatment
278
00:16:47,834 --> 00:16:51,542
for his friends
who partook in these girls.
279
00:17:05,918 --> 00:17:09,250
Dennis Wilson said that he ended
up spending
280
00:17:09,334 --> 00:17:12,959
over $100,000 correcting the damage.
281
00:17:13,042 --> 00:17:16,667
Manson and the family
had done to his house.
282
00:17:19,542 --> 00:17:23,167
Manson, at Dennis Wilson's
house, met Terry Melcher.
283
00:17:23,250 --> 00:17:26,834
He was a famous record producer
at the time.
284
00:17:26,918 --> 00:17:28,250
You know, Paul revere and the raiders,
285
00:17:28,334 --> 00:17:31,834
the byrds, a number of successful acts.
286
00:17:31,918 --> 00:17:33,000
Terry's mom is Doris day.
287
00:17:33,083 --> 00:17:35,083
You know, he's very high-profile.
288
00:17:35,167 --> 00:17:36,959
His girlfriend is Candice Bergen.
289
00:17:37,042 --> 00:17:39,000
So Terry's a real star,
290
00:17:39,083 --> 00:17:42,042
and Charlie was like,
"ooh, this is my guy."
291
00:17:42,125 --> 00:17:43,709
Here's the top of the food chain.
292
00:17:43,792 --> 00:17:48,292
Terry Melcher, the kid-star
producer for Columbia,
293
00:17:48,375 --> 00:17:50,292
he can sign Charlie.
294
00:17:50,375 --> 00:17:53,959
At the time, he was
living with his girlfriend,
295
00:17:54,042 --> 00:17:58,792
Candice Bergen, at 10050 cielo drive.
296
00:17:58,876 --> 00:18:00,626
This is about a year before the home
297
00:18:00,709 --> 00:18:05,876
is rented by the new tenants...
Roman polanski and Sharon Tate.
298
00:18:08,417 --> 00:18:10,542
In the summer of 1968,
299
00:18:10,626 --> 00:18:12,918
Dennis tries to start
Charlie's music career
300
00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:16,042
with a session at the beach boys' studio.
301
00:18:16,125 --> 00:18:20,876
Dennis took us over
to his brother's house, Brian.
302
00:18:20,959 --> 00:18:24,667
And Charlie was gonna do,
like, a recording session.
303
00:18:24,751 --> 00:18:29,584
Charles manson, of course,
was obsessive about his music,
304
00:18:29,667 --> 00:18:33,834
about his lyrics,
about his artistic talent.
305
00:18:33,918 --> 00:18:37,083
I think they wanted Charlie
to change some of the words,
306
00:18:37,167 --> 00:18:38,709
change some of the music.
307
00:18:38,792 --> 00:18:41,584
People who were there say Charlie
308
00:18:41,667 --> 00:18:45,584
pulls a knife on the engineer.
309
00:18:45,667 --> 00:18:47,459
Next thing you know, Charlie came,
310
00:18:47,542 --> 00:18:50,918
you know, storming out
of the recording studio.
311
00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:54,918
I think things started
to go south after that.
312
00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:56,918
Dennis knew that he
was never gonna get rid of him,
313
00:18:57,000 --> 00:18:58,042
so he had to just leave.
314
00:18:58,125 --> 00:19:00,083
He just abandoned the house.
315
00:19:00,167 --> 00:19:02,709
He just left.
It was a rental house.
316
00:19:02,792 --> 00:19:05,459
Still, manson clings to the hope
that his dream
317
00:19:05,542 --> 00:19:07,792
of becoming a rock star isn't dead.
318
00:19:07,876 --> 00:19:11,000
It seems Dennis might still be
willing to help him
319
00:19:11,083 --> 00:19:13,667
with one of his songs in particular.
320
00:19:21,834 --> 00:19:23,125
"Cease to exist."
321
00:19:28,417 --> 00:19:32,584
Cease to exist was considered good enough
322
00:19:32,667 --> 00:19:38,083
to put on a beach boys album.
323
00:19:38,167 --> 00:19:39,876
Dennis and Charlie reached an agreement.
324
00:19:39,959 --> 00:19:41,584
Now, god only knows what it was,
325
00:19:41,667 --> 00:19:44,459
because this shouldn't really happen,
326
00:19:44,542 --> 00:19:47,667
but Dennis got permission
from Charlie to use the song.
327
00:19:47,751 --> 00:19:49,417
Or, anyway, Dennis thought
he had permission
328
00:19:49,500 --> 00:19:50,667
from Charlie to use the song.
329
00:19:50,751 --> 00:19:53,959
Manson called his song "cease to exist,"
330
00:19:54,042 --> 00:19:57,000
and then Dennis Wilson changed it,
331
00:19:57,083 --> 00:19:58,792
"never learn not to love."
332
00:19:58,876 --> 00:20:03,375
The beach boys actually
perform the new version
333
00:20:03,459 --> 00:20:06,751
of "cease to exist"
on "the Mike Douglas show."
334
00:20:12,334 --> 00:20:15,667
Having that song,
"cease to exist," reworked,
335
00:20:15,751 --> 00:20:18,375
repackaged by the beach boys
336
00:20:18,459 --> 00:20:20,626
and put out under a different title
337
00:20:20,709 --> 00:20:25,876
without any credit given
to Charles manson angered him.
338
00:20:25,959 --> 00:20:31,459
And he felt betrayed by Dennis Wilson.
339
00:20:34,209 --> 00:20:36,667
It came down to Charlie saying,
340
00:20:36,751 --> 00:20:38,792
he says, "you know,
I know where you live.
341
00:20:38,876 --> 00:20:40,459
I know where your kids live."
342
00:20:40,542 --> 00:20:43,500
Manson admitted to
threatening Dennis Wilson
343
00:20:43,584 --> 00:20:47,083
in a 1993 interview with abc news.
344
00:20:47,167 --> 00:20:49,083
I gave Dennis Wilson a bullet, didn't I?
345
00:20:49,167 --> 00:20:52,083
I gave him a bullet because
he changed the words to my song.
346
00:21:03,250 --> 00:21:04,709
Friday night in Los Angeles,
347
00:21:04,792 --> 00:21:07,584
a movie actress and four
of her friends were murdered,
348
00:21:07,667 --> 00:21:10,792
and the circumstances were lurid.
349
00:21:10,876 --> 00:21:13,667
The movie actress was Sharon Tate.
350
00:21:13,751 --> 00:21:16,000
Charles manson is angry at the world,
351
00:21:16,083 --> 00:21:19,626
and, increasingly, his thoughts
are turning to deadly violence.
352
00:21:19,709 --> 00:21:22,167
His rage against humanity
is raised to new levels
353
00:21:22,250 --> 00:21:25,042
by unfulfilled dreams of rock stardom.
354
00:21:25,125 --> 00:21:28,167
Now he conjures up
a sinister solution to his hate.
355
00:21:28,250 --> 00:21:31,042
He tries to incite a race riot
between blacks and whites
356
00:21:31,125 --> 00:21:33,209
that he calls helter skelter.
357
00:21:33,292 --> 00:21:36,083
Manson's mission...
To spark ethnic conflict
358
00:21:36,167 --> 00:21:37,542
based on his unfounded belief
359
00:21:37,626 --> 00:21:39,292
that the true meaning of the Beatles song.
360
00:21:39,375 --> 00:21:42,334
"Helter skelter" is a call to arms.
361
00:21:44,918 --> 00:21:47,292
Manson is not about to give up his dream
362
00:21:47,375 --> 00:21:49,417
of a recording contract.
363
00:21:49,500 --> 00:21:53,292
He now pins all his hopes
on Terry Melcher.
364
00:21:53,375 --> 00:21:54,542
Charlie was smart enough to know,
365
00:21:54,626 --> 00:21:56,459
"okay, here's the guy that I want.
366
00:21:56,542 --> 00:21:59,417
Now here's a guy
who is a record producer."
367
00:22:01,709 --> 00:22:06,918
And that's when
gregg jakobson and Terry Melcher
368
00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:09,042
came to the spahn ranch,
369
00:22:09,125 --> 00:22:12,209
and we did, like,
a little recording session.
370
00:22:22,792 --> 00:22:24,542
And manson played the guitar,
371
00:22:24,626 --> 00:22:26,542
and all the girls sang parts
372
00:22:26,626 --> 00:22:29,083
and harmonies and background stuff.
373
00:22:29,167 --> 00:22:32,584
Charlie was really hopeful
that this was going to end up
374
00:22:32,667 --> 00:22:35,000
in some kind of an album.
375
00:22:35,083 --> 00:22:40,459
But, at some point, Terry gave
Charlie the classic speech,
376
00:22:40,542 --> 00:22:42,959
"you know, Charlie, I mean,
you really got a talent,
377
00:22:43,042 --> 00:22:44,375
I really appreciate your music,
378
00:22:44,459 --> 00:22:46,751
but you're just not
my cup of tea."
379
00:22:46,834 --> 00:22:48,667
In Charles manson's mind,
380
00:22:48,751 --> 00:22:52,292
Terry Melcher had dashed
his hope for a music contract.
381
00:22:56,042 --> 00:22:58,500
And Charlie was really upset about that.
382
00:22:58,584 --> 00:23:00,125
I kind of remember Charlie,
like, you know,
383
00:23:00,209 --> 00:23:04,626
"all those," you know,
"mother " you know?
384
00:23:06,125 --> 00:23:08,250
In my opinion, that rejection
385
00:23:08,334 --> 00:23:13,083
is what led to his desire to kill,
386
00:23:13,167 --> 00:23:17,667
to kill the people that had wronged him,
387
00:23:17,751 --> 00:23:22,000
that had basically ignored his greatness.
388
00:23:24,834 --> 00:23:26,792
Now that he wasn't gonna make a record
389
00:23:26,876 --> 00:23:28,959
that was gonna then bring us money,
390
00:23:29,042 --> 00:23:33,000
they resorted to criminal activity.
391
00:23:34,709 --> 00:23:36,959
They had arms at the ranch,
392
00:23:37,042 --> 00:23:41,042
but now they were really,
really arming themselves.
393
00:23:41,125 --> 00:23:43,918
What Charlie tells his followers is,
394
00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:48,000
"look, we need money for guns.
395
00:23:48,083 --> 00:23:51,125
Now, how are we gonna
get that money?"
396
00:23:51,209 --> 00:23:54,459
Gary hinman was a Buddhist musician
397
00:23:54,542 --> 00:23:58,167
that was a friend of many
of the family members.
398
00:23:58,250 --> 00:24:00,918
Manson mistakenly thought that hinman
399
00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:03,000
had come into a large inheritance.
400
00:24:03,083 --> 00:24:06,209
On Charlie's instruction,
his friend Bobby beausoleil
401
00:24:06,292 --> 00:24:10,542
and manson family members
Susan atkins and Mary brunner
402
00:24:10,626 --> 00:24:12,667
go to Gary hinman's home.
403
00:24:24,959 --> 00:24:27,209
Gary didn't have money.
404
00:24:27,292 --> 00:24:31,375
I think he had a few dollars
in the house,
405
00:24:31,459 --> 00:24:34,209
not much in his bank account.
406
00:24:34,292 --> 00:24:37,209
Manson then came out.
407
00:24:37,292 --> 00:24:40,584
Manson had a sword and told hinman
408
00:24:40,667 --> 00:24:44,542
that he wanted his property,
and hinman, you know,
409
00:24:44,626 --> 00:24:45,959
"I don't have anything."
410
00:24:46,042 --> 00:24:49,167
And so manson slashed him.
411
00:24:51,709 --> 00:24:54,334
I cut his ear off.
412
00:24:54,417 --> 00:24:56,292
And manson left.
413
00:24:56,375 --> 00:24:57,918
After manson left the scene,
414
00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:00,375
Bobby beausoleil reportedly
calls Charlie.
415
00:25:03,125 --> 00:25:05,959
I said,
"don't ask me what to do."
416
00:25:06,042 --> 00:25:09,000
I said, "you know what to do!"
417
00:25:09,083 --> 00:25:10,959
It's very clear what Charlie manson
418
00:25:11,042 --> 00:25:13,250
wants them to do to Gary hinman.
419
00:25:27,751 --> 00:25:31,209
Then Susan atkins
held a pillow over his face
420
00:25:31,292 --> 00:25:33,375
so that he couldn't breathe.
421
00:25:36,751 --> 00:25:41,792
They murdered Gary hinman.
422
00:25:41,876 --> 00:25:44,584
And, so, what they did
with hinman's blood,
423
00:25:44,667 --> 00:25:46,459
on Charlie's order,
424
00:25:46,542 --> 00:25:50,042
was leave what supposedly
was a paw-print sign
425
00:25:50,125 --> 00:25:54,584
and the word "political piggy"
scrawled in blood.
426
00:25:54,667 --> 00:25:58,000
It's the first time
manson manipulates his followers
427
00:25:58,083 --> 00:26:01,500
to kill for him,
but it won't be the last.
428
00:26:10,542 --> 00:26:14,542
Charlie had been sharing
with us from really early on
429
00:26:14,626 --> 00:26:18,083
about what he had learned
in reform school
430
00:26:18,167 --> 00:26:21,334
and in prison, from the black man,
431
00:26:21,417 --> 00:26:26,500
and that was that they were
going to overcome whitey.
432
00:26:26,584 --> 00:26:30,459
And, so, Charlie interpreted
this as it was going to be,
433
00:26:30,542 --> 00:26:33,542
like, a black-white race war.
434
00:26:33,626 --> 00:26:37,542
A revolution that manson
referred to as "helter skelter"
435
00:26:37,626 --> 00:26:40,375
after one of the songs
in the Beatles album.
436
00:26:48,792 --> 00:26:51,167
To manson, it meant
that the Beatles wanted
437
00:26:51,250 --> 00:26:56,500
to have a worldwide revolution,
blacks against whites.
438
00:26:56,584 --> 00:26:59,209
Of course, it was all nonsense.
439
00:26:59,292 --> 00:27:02,083
One of manson's goals
was to make it appear
440
00:27:02,167 --> 00:27:05,751
as though black radicals had
murdered prominent white people.
441
00:27:05,834 --> 00:27:09,667
He thought that would then
make the police retaliate,
442
00:27:09,751 --> 00:27:12,292
there would be more riots in Los Angeles,
443
00:27:12,375 --> 00:27:16,584
and that would kick off the race war.
444
00:27:16,667 --> 00:27:21,167
And, so, Charlie decides they're
going to have another murder.
445
00:27:21,250 --> 00:27:26,042
He was testing the limits
of how far he could go.
446
00:27:26,125 --> 00:27:29,209
Could he get people to do violence?
447
00:27:29,292 --> 00:27:31,876
Could he get people to kill for him?
448
00:27:34,250 --> 00:27:36,918
I remember playing games like
their creepy crawly games
449
00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:41,125
where they would sneak
in somebody's house.
450
00:27:41,209 --> 00:27:43,626
You would enter someone's
house so silently,
451
00:27:43,709 --> 00:27:45,876
they didn't know you were in there,
452
00:27:45,959 --> 00:27:50,751
so that if you'd wanted to,
you could kill them.
453
00:27:50,834 --> 00:27:53,417
All the women were issued buck knives.
454
00:27:53,500 --> 00:27:57,667
Charles manson loved knives.
455
00:27:57,751 --> 00:27:59,250
His female followers,
456
00:27:59,334 --> 00:28:02,751
they had to prove their love
and loyalty to him
457
00:28:02,834 --> 00:28:05,542
by standing against trees
and letting Charlie
458
00:28:05,626 --> 00:28:09,584
throw knives into the trees
around their face.
459
00:28:12,417 --> 00:28:15,584
Tex Watson had been
holding training classes
460
00:28:15,667 --> 00:28:19,417
for how to commit murder.
461
00:28:19,500 --> 00:28:20,709
When you stab somebody,
462
00:28:20,792 --> 00:28:22,751
you didn't just put the knife in,
463
00:28:22,834 --> 00:28:26,918
you pulled up on it
after to do more damage.
464
00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:28,209
Manson, he thought,
465
00:28:28,292 --> 00:28:30,626
"we've got to kill somebody
important."
466
00:28:34,125 --> 00:28:36,876
And it began right here on cielo drive,
467
00:28:36,959 --> 00:28:40,375
a quiet, leafy cul-de-sac
overlooking Beverly Hills.
468
00:28:40,459 --> 00:28:41,876
You see this security gate.
469
00:28:41,959 --> 00:28:43,792
Behind it, there's a mansion.
470
00:28:43,876 --> 00:28:46,375
The property where
record producer Terry Melcher
471
00:28:46,459 --> 00:28:48,751
and his girlfriend, Candice Bergen, lived
472
00:28:48,834 --> 00:28:51,584
until January of 1969.
473
00:28:51,667 --> 00:28:53,042
They moved out in January,
474
00:28:53,125 --> 00:28:57,709
and the polanskis moved in in February.
475
00:28:57,792 --> 00:29:01,751
Roman polanski was a very
famous director at that time,
476
00:29:01,834 --> 00:29:06,500
Sharon Tate, an up-and-coming
young actress.
477
00:29:06,584 --> 00:29:10,083
Sharon Tate and Roman
polanski had met three years earlier,
478
00:29:10,167 --> 00:29:11,417
on polanski's film,
479
00:29:11,500 --> 00:29:14,709
"the fearless vampire killers,"
in London.
480
00:29:14,792 --> 00:29:16,667
I... I'm going to save you.
481
00:29:16,751 --> 00:29:19,125
We'll go away together.
482
00:29:19,209 --> 00:29:22,042
She was a stunningly
beautiful young woman.
483
00:29:22,125 --> 00:29:26,167
As one person said to me,
she literally turned heads
484
00:29:26,250 --> 00:29:28,667
when she walked down the street.
485
00:29:28,751 --> 00:29:33,125
Sharon and Roman were married
in London in January 1968.
486
00:29:33,209 --> 00:29:37,042
The newlyweds had moved
into 10050 cielo drive
487
00:29:37,125 --> 00:29:39,250
just a year after
they had gotten married.
488
00:29:39,334 --> 00:29:41,584
One of the main reasons
why they rented a house
489
00:29:41,667 --> 00:29:43,417
was because they were about
to have a baby.
490
00:29:43,500 --> 00:29:46,292
Sharon was just so looking forward
491
00:29:46,375 --> 00:29:53,125
to being a mom and having the child.
492
00:29:53,209 --> 00:29:58,167
But for his film projects,
Roman often needs to travel.
493
00:29:58,250 --> 00:30:01,167
Sharon has friends who stay
with her at the house
494
00:30:01,250 --> 00:30:02,542
so she's not alone.
495
00:30:02,626 --> 00:30:04,542
Jay sebring, who was her boyfriend
496
00:30:04,626 --> 00:30:06,876
before she married polanski.
497
00:30:06,959 --> 00:30:12,083
Jay sebring made his name
as a hairdresser to the stars.
498
00:30:12,167 --> 00:30:15,500
Wojciech frykowski was a Polish émigré.
499
00:30:15,584 --> 00:30:17,876
His girlfriend, Abigail Folger, who...
500
00:30:17,959 --> 00:30:20,042
Folger, of course, was a prominent name.
501
00:30:20,125 --> 00:30:23,834
She was, in fact, of the coffee family.
502
00:30:23,918 --> 00:30:28,334
Now 8 1/2 months pregnant,
Sharon's at her most vulnerable
503
00:30:28,417 --> 00:30:32,000
to a threat
she doesn't even know is coming
504
00:30:32,083 --> 00:30:34,626
from Charles manson.
505
00:30:34,709 --> 00:30:37,375
On Friday, August the 8th, he said,
506
00:30:37,459 --> 00:30:39,542
"now is the time
for helter skelter."
507
00:31:00,584 --> 00:31:03,500
Manson sends out three women,
508
00:31:03,584 --> 00:31:06,751
Patricia krenwinkel, Susan atkins,
509
00:31:06,834 --> 00:31:08,542
and Linda kasabian
510
00:31:08,626 --> 00:31:13,209
with Tex Watson to the Tate residence.
511
00:31:13,292 --> 00:31:18,918
Manson instructs Tex
that he's to go in there
512
00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:24,334
and kill everyone in a gory scene.
513
00:31:24,417 --> 00:31:28,250
He wanted a blood bath.
514
00:31:28,334 --> 00:31:31,626
And manson told the women,
515
00:31:31,709 --> 00:31:33,375
"do whatever Tex
tells you to do."
516
00:31:33,459 --> 00:31:36,167
Do you know why they picked Sharon Tate?
517
00:31:36,250 --> 00:31:39,459
- No.
- Was that purely bad luck?
518
00:31:39,542 --> 00:31:41,042
I know now that it had
519
00:31:41,125 --> 00:31:45,375
something to do with Terry Melcher.
520
00:31:45,459 --> 00:31:48,626
Manson knew that
Terry Melcher and Candice Bergen
521
00:31:48,709 --> 00:31:49,959
didn't live there anymore,
522
00:31:50,042 --> 00:31:52,125
but he wanted to send a message to them.
523
00:31:52,209 --> 00:31:55,417
"There but for the grace
of god go you."
524
00:32:02,500 --> 00:32:06,334
At 10050 cielo drive,
Sharon Tate and her friends,
525
00:32:06,417 --> 00:32:10,250
Jay sebring, Abigail Folger,
and wojciech frykowski,
526
00:32:10,334 --> 00:32:12,584
are settled in for the night.
527
00:32:15,709 --> 00:32:17,792
25 yards away from the main house,
528
00:32:17,876 --> 00:32:21,334
in the separate guesthouse,
the fill-in caretaker,
529
00:32:21,417 --> 00:32:25,042
William garretson,
has decided to stay in.
530
00:32:25,125 --> 00:32:29,626
But late that night, garretson
gets a surprise visitor.
531
00:32:31,292 --> 00:32:33,459
Steven parent, the night before,
532
00:32:33,542 --> 00:32:36,709
had met the caretaker, William garretson,
533
00:32:36,792 --> 00:32:39,876
and garretson invited him to come up.
534
00:32:43,083 --> 00:32:45,209
Meanwhile, the car with Tex Watson
535
00:32:45,292 --> 00:32:46,584
and the other manson followers
536
00:32:46,667 --> 00:32:50,584
pulls up near the gate of the Tate house.
537
00:32:50,667 --> 00:32:53,459
Steven parent was on his way out.
538
00:32:59,292 --> 00:33:03,834
Tex Watson is, at that point,
cutting the wires to the house.
539
00:33:11,876 --> 00:33:15,500
Watson saw the headlights.
540
00:33:20,876 --> 00:33:23,292
And then Watson approached parent
541
00:33:23,375 --> 00:33:29,125
with his nine-inch buntline
.22-caliber revolver.
542
00:33:29,209 --> 00:33:31,459
Parent begged for his life,
at which point,
543
00:33:31,542 --> 00:33:34,500
Watson shot him four times
at point-blank range
544
00:33:34,584 --> 00:33:36,167
in the upper torso...
545
00:33:37,751 --> 00:33:40,250
...killing him.
546
00:33:40,334 --> 00:33:43,626
He was just a kid in the wrong
place at the wrong time.
547
00:33:48,876 --> 00:33:52,792
Watson and the women
proceeded to the house.
548
00:33:54,584 --> 00:33:56,792
This was a family that wanted to kill.
549
00:33:59,959 --> 00:34:03,042
I remember that I had gone so far,
550
00:34:03,125 --> 00:34:04,584
and there was no turning back.
551
00:34:04,667 --> 00:34:06,000
Even if I had wanted to run,
552
00:34:06,083 --> 00:34:07,959
even if I had wanted
to leave, I couldn't.
553
00:34:08,042 --> 00:34:09,834
It was like I was caught in something
554
00:34:09,918 --> 00:34:12,000
that I had no control over.
555
00:34:14,250 --> 00:34:16,584
Sharon Tate and three house guests
556
00:34:16,667 --> 00:34:20,375
have no idea what's
coming up the driveway.
557
00:34:22,918 --> 00:34:26,042
Tex Watson enters
the residence through a window,
558
00:34:26,125 --> 00:34:28,250
and then quietly lets in two of the women
559
00:34:28,334 --> 00:34:29,751
through the front door,
560
00:34:29,834 --> 00:34:34,125
but he leaves the third one
outside as a lookout.
561
00:34:34,209 --> 00:34:37,876
Wojciech frykowski is asleep
on the living-room couch,
562
00:34:37,959 --> 00:34:40,209
and he suddenly awakens
to find Tex Watson
563
00:34:40,292 --> 00:34:42,667
standing in front of him, staring at him.
564
00:34:42,751 --> 00:34:43,918
And he simply asks him,
565
00:34:44,000 --> 00:34:45,709
"who are you, and what do you want?
566
00:34:45,792 --> 00:34:47,125
And Tex said, "I'm the devil,
567
00:34:47,209 --> 00:34:51,751
and I'm here to do
the devil's business."
568
00:34:51,834 --> 00:34:53,709
The people in the house were all brought
569
00:34:53,792 --> 00:34:55,667
into the living room and tied up.
570
00:34:55,751 --> 00:34:59,751
Susan atkins recalls that one
of the victims called out,
571
00:34:59,834 --> 00:35:01,834
"what are you going
to do with us?"
572
00:35:01,918 --> 00:35:07,626
And Tex Watson simply replied,
"you are all going to die."
573
00:35:07,709 --> 00:35:10,083
And Jay sebring, who's a former boyfriend
574
00:35:10,167 --> 00:35:12,584
of the very pregnant Sharon Tate,
575
00:35:12,667 --> 00:35:14,459
is pleading with Watson, he's saying,
576
00:35:14,542 --> 00:35:17,042
"she's pregnant.
Can't she just sit down?"
577
00:35:17,125 --> 00:35:18,417
And for his protest,
578
00:35:18,500 --> 00:35:22,209
Tex Watson shoots Jay sebring
in cold blood.
579
00:35:24,459 --> 00:35:29,459
Wojciech frykowski,
I tied his hands with a towel
580
00:35:29,542 --> 00:35:32,667
and then was instructed to kill him.
581
00:35:32,751 --> 00:35:36,459
Wojciech very easily undid the towel
582
00:35:36,542 --> 00:35:40,500
that I'd tied his wrists with,
and he and I began to fight.
583
00:35:40,584 --> 00:35:42,500
He bolts for the front door,
584
00:35:42,584 --> 00:35:44,918
and he makes it all the way out
to the front porch,
585
00:35:45,000 --> 00:35:47,584
but Tex runs him down, and with that gun,
586
00:35:47,667 --> 00:35:49,334
starts beating him over the head
587
00:35:49,417 --> 00:35:54,834
with the butt of the gun
and stabbing him 51 times.
588
00:35:54,918 --> 00:35:56,417
All I can remember seeing is people
589
00:35:56,500 --> 00:35:58,375
just scattering in different places.
590
00:35:58,459 --> 00:36:02,083
Abigail Folger manages
to escape and run for the door,
591
00:36:02,167 --> 00:36:03,792
and she gets outside,
592
00:36:03,876 --> 00:36:06,459
but Patricia krenwinkel runs her down,
593
00:36:06,542 --> 00:36:08,417
and Tex Watson is right behind.
594
00:36:08,500 --> 00:36:10,459
Together, they hold her down
on the ground
595
00:36:10,542 --> 00:36:13,042
and stab her repeatedly.
596
00:36:13,125 --> 00:36:15,709
And I was left sitting with Sharon Tate,
597
00:36:15,792 --> 00:36:17,375
and she was talking to me.
598
00:36:17,459 --> 00:36:21,834
Susan atkins, she said Sharon
begged for her life.
599
00:36:21,918 --> 00:36:23,834
"Please let me live
so I can have my baby."
600
00:36:23,918 --> 00:36:26,250
"I just want my baby to be born.
601
00:36:26,334 --> 00:36:30,042
You can kill me later,
but let the baby live."
602
00:36:30,125 --> 00:36:34,375
I felt nothing. I felt
absolutely nothing for her.
603
00:36:34,459 --> 00:36:39,375
Susan atkins grabbed Sharon Tate
by the hands and holds her arms,
604
00:36:39,459 --> 00:36:41,959
holding her captive while Tex Watson
605
00:36:42,042 --> 00:36:45,375
stabs her in the heart.
606
00:36:45,459 --> 00:36:51,042
Tex, the way he moved, the viciousness,
607
00:36:51,125 --> 00:36:54,834
it was just like seeing somebody go crazy
608
00:36:54,918 --> 00:36:58,125
with more power
than I've ever seen anybody.
609
00:36:58,209 --> 00:37:04,584
I don't think he was
in control of himself.
610
00:37:04,667 --> 00:37:06,292
Charles manson may not have been there,
611
00:37:06,375 --> 00:37:09,751
but he had given them
very specific instructions.
612
00:37:09,834 --> 00:37:12,375
"Before you leave,
leave a sign."
613
00:37:12,459 --> 00:37:14,083
Susan atkins picks up a towel
614
00:37:14,167 --> 00:37:17,209
and dips it in the blood of Sharon Tate,
615
00:37:17,292 --> 00:37:20,751
and on the front door of
the house writes the word "pig."
616
00:37:32,167 --> 00:37:34,042
At 8:00 A.M., August 9th,
617
00:37:34,125 --> 00:37:38,459
housekeeper winnie Chapman
arrives at 10050 cielo drive.
618
00:37:40,375 --> 00:37:46,876
She first sees that the wires
to the house have been cut.
619
00:37:46,959 --> 00:37:49,083
She then goes through the back entrance,
620
00:37:49,167 --> 00:37:52,000
and she looks through to the lawn.
621
00:37:52,083 --> 00:37:56,918
She saw wojciech frykowski
and Abigail Folger's bodies
622
00:37:57,000 --> 00:37:59,292
in the front yard.
623
00:38:03,375 --> 00:38:07,709
She runs now, through the
front entrance of the house,
624
00:38:07,792 --> 00:38:09,042
to the driveway,
625
00:38:09,125 --> 00:38:14,542
and she sees a body
slumped over in a car.
626
00:38:14,626 --> 00:38:18,959
She runs frantically to get help.
627
00:38:22,542 --> 00:38:24,626
In a scene described by one investigator
628
00:38:24,709 --> 00:38:26,834
as reminiscent of a weird religious rite,
629
00:38:26,918 --> 00:38:31,083
five persons including actress
Sharon Tate were found dead.
630
00:38:31,167 --> 00:38:36,042
Manson wanted a bloodbath,
and that's what he got.
631
00:38:44,125 --> 00:38:48,626
They found Sharon Tate
had been stabbed to death,
632
00:38:48,709 --> 00:38:53,792
16 stab wounds,
and had a rope around her neck.
633
00:38:55,709 --> 00:39:01,542
And the rope went over a beam
of the high-beam ceiling.
634
00:39:01,626 --> 00:39:05,959
The other end had been tied
around Jay sebring's neck.
635
00:39:06,042 --> 00:39:09,083
You have this 8 1/2-month-pregnant woman
636
00:39:09,167 --> 00:39:13,417
being hung while she was still alive.
637
00:39:13,500 --> 00:39:16,459
Abigail Folger had been
wearing a white nightgown.
638
00:39:16,542 --> 00:39:21,292
You couldn't tell that it was
white, there was so much blood.
639
00:39:21,375 --> 00:39:26,292
Wojciech frykowski's face had
been swollen from the beating.
640
00:39:26,375 --> 00:39:31,334
It was hard to tell
his facial features at all.
641
00:39:31,417 --> 00:39:34,584
When the police look in the driveway,
642
00:39:34,667 --> 00:39:37,751
they see a car.
643
00:39:37,834 --> 00:39:41,667
In the car, there is a body
of a young man
644
00:39:41,751 --> 00:39:46,626
who has been both shot and stabbed.
645
00:39:46,709 --> 00:39:48,751
It was inexplicable
646
00:39:48,834 --> 00:39:52,417
because there was no apparent motive.
647
00:39:53,959 --> 00:39:56,667
As LAPD investigators
attempt to make sense
648
00:39:56,751 --> 00:40:01,250
of all this death, they suddenly
hear a sign of life.
649
00:40:04,709 --> 00:40:05,959
They hear a dog barking.
650
00:40:08,125 --> 00:40:12,500
So that alerts them to the guesthouse.
651
00:40:12,584 --> 00:40:16,083
Incredibly, 19-year-old
William garretson,
652
00:40:16,167 --> 00:40:17,626
the fill-in caretaker,
653
00:40:17,709 --> 00:40:21,375
had been just 25 yards away
in the guesthouse
654
00:40:21,459 --> 00:40:26,209
when these five people
were murdered the night before.
655
00:40:26,292 --> 00:40:30,375
At first they thought, well,
here is this person alive.
656
00:40:30,459 --> 00:40:33,083
He had to know what was going on.
657
00:40:33,167 --> 00:40:34,542
Their first order of business
658
00:40:34,626 --> 00:40:36,250
is to take William garretson
into custody,
659
00:40:36,334 --> 00:40:38,834
and he becomes suspect number one.
660
00:40:47,000 --> 00:40:50,751
After killing Sharon Tate
and her friends the night before,
661
00:40:50,834 --> 00:40:52,334
family members Tex Watson,
662
00:40:52,417 --> 00:40:54,334
Susan atkins, Patty krenwinkel,
663
00:40:54,417 --> 00:40:57,834
and Linda kasabian
had returned to spahn ranch.
664
00:40:57,918 --> 00:41:00,542
Charles manson was waiting for them.
665
00:41:00,626 --> 00:41:04,542
I said, "do you feel any remorse
about your actions?"
666
00:41:04,626 --> 00:41:05,918
And they says no.
I said,
667
00:41:06,000 --> 00:41:07,417
"do you feel that you did
what you had to do,
668
00:41:07,500 --> 00:41:08,876
and it was right?"
669
00:41:08,959 --> 00:41:12,000
And she says, "yes."
670
00:41:12,083 --> 00:41:14,459
What judgment could I make?
671
00:41:14,542 --> 00:41:16,792
I had no judgment.
672
00:41:16,876 --> 00:41:18,792
Charles manson has a long history
673
00:41:18,876 --> 00:41:22,500
of manipulating other people
to do his violence for him.
674
00:41:22,584 --> 00:41:26,500
He's not finished yet
acting out his rage.
675
00:41:26,584 --> 00:41:31,500
Believe me, if I started
murdering people,
676
00:41:31,584 --> 00:41:33,918
there'd be none of you left.
677
00:41:35,876 --> 00:41:38,083
The scene of brutal butchery
at the Tate residence
678
00:41:38,167 --> 00:41:40,792
rattles even the most
hardened homicide detectives
679
00:41:40,876 --> 00:41:42,334
assigned to the case.
680
00:41:42,417 --> 00:41:45,542
Hollywood celebrities are
panicked that they may be next.
681
00:41:45,626 --> 00:41:47,000
Throughout southern California,
682
00:41:47,083 --> 00:41:48,709
people scramble to beef up
their home security
683
00:41:48,792 --> 00:41:51,000
and around the world,
millions more watch the news
684
00:41:51,083 --> 00:41:54,834
in disbelief, hoping to find out
who did this and why.
685
00:41:54,918 --> 00:41:57,000
But Charles manson will not be stopped.
686
00:41:57,083 --> 00:42:00,167
He's already planning
his next vicious killing spree.
687
00:42:00,250 --> 00:42:02,751
The rampage continues in part two.
688
00:42:02,834 --> 00:42:05,918
"The devil's work."
689
00:42:06,000 --> 00:42:09,542
Thanks for watching.
I'm Donnie wahlberg.
