00:00:13,847 --> 00:00:15,304
Chapter One.
3
00:00:15,349 --> 00:00:18,717
This is the story behind one of
the greatest manhunts in history.
4
00:00:18,810 --> 00:00:21,427
Maybe you read about it,
or what they let you read about it,
5
00:00:21,522 --> 00:00:25,266
probably as some minor item
buried on the back page.
6
00:00:25,359 --> 00:00:27,271
However,
what happened in that city
7
00:00:27,319 --> 00:00:30,938
between May 16th and May 28th
of this year was so incredible
8
00:00:31,031 --> 00:00:33,273
that to this day
the facts have been suppressed
9
00:00:33,367 --> 00:00:36,860
in a massive effort to save certain
political careers from disaster
10
00:00:36,954 --> 00:00:39,867
and law enforcement officials
from embarrassment.
11
00:00:41,041 --> 00:00:45,285
This will be the last time I will ever
discuss these events with anyone,
12
00:00:45,379 --> 00:00:47,962
so when you have finished
this bizarre account,
13
00:00:48,048 --> 00:00:50,131
judge for yourself its believability,
14
00:00:50,217 --> 00:00:53,426
and then try to tell yourself,
wherever you may be,
15
00:00:53,512 --> 00:00:55,629
"It couldn't happen here."
16
00:01:01,687 --> 00:01:02,928
Sunday, May 16th.
17
00:01:03,021 --> 00:01:04,933
At approximately 2:30 A. M.,
18
00:01:05,023 --> 00:01:07,140
Cheryl Hughes was standing
at the intersection
19
00:01:07,192 --> 00:01:09,434
of Casino Center
and Fremont Street
20
00:01:09,528 --> 00:01:11,645
waiting for a girlfriend
to give her a lift home.
21
00:01:17,869 --> 00:01:19,576
Cheryl Hughes was 23,
22
00:01:19,663 --> 00:01:21,871
5 feet 51/2 inches tall,
23
00:01:21,957 --> 00:01:23,289
118 pounds,
24
00:01:23,375 --> 00:01:25,913
blonde hair, light brown eyes,
25
00:01:26,003 --> 00:01:29,371
swing shift change girl
at the Gold Dust Saloon.
26
00:01:30,549 --> 00:01:33,462
Cheryl Hughes, tired and hungry,
27
00:01:33,552 --> 00:01:35,839
but just mad enough
to walk the eight blocks
28
00:01:35,887 --> 00:01:39,722
to her small frame house
off the corner of 9th and Bridger.
29
00:01:43,729 --> 00:01:47,313
Cheryl Hughes.
En route to her doom.
30
00:02:45,874 --> 00:02:46,955
That's odd,
31
00:03:00,138 --> 00:03:02,881
No evidence of
dependent lividity, either,
32
00:03:04,017 --> 00:03:05,883
Peel back
the chest flap, please,
33
00:03:09,648 --> 00:03:10,889
This should do it,
34
00:03:13,819 --> 00:03:15,435
It's incredible,
35
00:03:18,532 --> 00:03:21,445
Begin the gross work
on internal organs,
36
00:03:21,493 --> 00:03:23,485
I'm going to phone
the district attorney,
37
00:03:24,996 --> 00:03:27,283
And don't talk about this,
to anyone,
38
00:03:36,174 --> 00:03:39,633
I came into it two days later,
called back 97 miles
39
00:03:39,678 --> 00:03:42,295
from the first vacation
I had had in 21/2 years
40
00:03:42,347 --> 00:03:45,636
because the story is so big
no one else can handle it,
41
00:03:45,684 --> 00:03:47,801
according to our lovable
managing editor.
42
00:03:47,853 --> 00:03:51,972
Rumor has it that the day
Anthony Albert Vincenzo was born,
43
00:03:52,065 --> 00:03:53,556
his father left town.
44
00:03:53,650 --> 00:03:56,643
The story may be apocryphal,
but I believe it.
45
00:03:56,737 --> 00:03:58,569
The only point I wonder about
46
00:03:58,655 --> 00:04:00,942
is why his mother
didn't leave, too.
47
00:04:01,032 --> 00:04:02,489
Good morning, slaves,
48
00:04:10,709 --> 00:04:13,577
- We are not amused,
- Kolchak, you are on it,
49
00:04:13,670 --> 00:04:15,753
A two-day old,
third-rate murder...
50
00:04:15,839 --> 00:04:17,580
- You are on it,
- What about them?
51
00:04:17,674 --> 00:04:19,006
They have other assignments,
52
00:04:20,010 --> 00:04:21,797
You're beautiful when you're angry,
53
00:04:21,887 --> 00:04:22,968
Out,
54
00:04:28,727 --> 00:04:32,220
First stop, County General, to see
one of my most reliable spies...
55
00:04:32,355 --> 00:04:33,971
at least, he used to be reliable.
56
00:04:34,065 --> 00:04:35,181
Hello, Carl,
57
00:04:35,275 --> 00:04:38,109
I thought you were disbarred
for malpractice,
58
00:04:38,195 --> 00:04:40,027
I thought we were
rid of you for two weeks,
59
00:04:40,113 --> 00:04:41,479
So did I,
60
00:04:41,573 --> 00:04:44,941
Well, about this
Cheryl Hughes thing...
61
00:04:45,035 --> 00:04:48,278
why does it say "officially undetermined"
under "cause of death"?
62
00:04:48,371 --> 00:04:51,705
- Why don't you ask the coroner?
- Come on, you're my spy here,
63
00:04:51,750 --> 00:04:54,367
Haven't I kept quiet about
all those illegal operations
64
00:04:54,461 --> 00:04:56,418
you've been performing
in closets?
65
00:04:57,464 --> 00:05:00,923
Tell me true, was there anything
unusual about the autopsy?
66
00:05:00,967 --> 00:05:04,335
- No, She lost a lot of blood,
- Some spy,
67
00:05:04,429 --> 00:05:08,139
I'm just a poor doctor that occasionally
takes pity on an aging reporter,
68
00:05:09,226 --> 00:05:10,888
Dr, O'Brien,
Any messages for me?
69
00:05:10,977 --> 00:05:12,934
Sounds like
a Pulitzer Prize story to me,
70
00:05:12,979 --> 00:05:15,938
Second stop,
the Gold Dust Saloon
71
00:05:16,024 --> 00:05:19,893
and a chat with Gail Foster,
one of Cheryl Hughes' fellow workers
72
00:05:19,986 --> 00:05:23,275
and a rather close friend of mine.
73
00:05:23,365 --> 00:05:26,403
Poor Cheryl,
I feel just terrible about it,
74
00:05:26,493 --> 00:05:28,906
If you don't want to talk about it,
you don't have to,
75
00:05:28,995 --> 00:05:30,577
No, I want to help if I can,
76
00:05:30,664 --> 00:05:33,577
You said that she
never had any boyfriends,
77
00:05:33,625 --> 00:05:35,708
No, none that I ever heard of,
78
00:05:35,794 --> 00:05:39,083
She dated once in a while,
but never the same man twice,
79
00:05:39,130 --> 00:05:40,917
I don't think she liked men,
80
00:05:41,007 --> 00:05:42,543
- Yeah?
- Yeah,
81
00:05:42,634 --> 00:05:45,923
She even took karate lessons
in case one got fresh with her,
82
00:05:46,012 --> 00:05:47,844
You mean that she knew karate?
83
00:05:47,931 --> 00:05:50,924
Yeah, Brown belt,
84
00:05:51,017 --> 00:05:53,555
Oh, I see him,
I've got to go, Bye-bye,
85
00:05:54,980 --> 00:05:56,892
In any town
the size of Las Vegas,
86
00:05:56,982 --> 00:06:00,225
the murder of one young woman
hardly causes a ripple.
87
00:06:00,694 --> 00:06:02,902
But then the ripples started.
88
00:06:02,988 --> 00:06:06,652
Thursday, May 20th,
7:02 A. m.
89
00:06:16,835 --> 00:06:17,835
Over there,
90
00:06:17,878 --> 00:06:20,086
I didn't go down, I couldn't,
91
00:06:20,171 --> 00:06:22,413
Okay, okay,
Don, take his statement,
92
00:06:27,512 --> 00:06:29,970
What took you so long, Kolchak?
93
00:06:31,349 --> 00:06:32,885
I got a flat tire,
94
00:06:45,530 --> 00:06:47,487
Not a footprint in sight,
95
00:06:47,532 --> 00:06:51,321
- Is that physically possible?
- If it happened, it's possible,
96
00:06:51,369 --> 00:06:54,487
- It sure looks like it happened,
- Well, come on,
97
00:06:58,084 --> 00:07:00,872
Bonnie Reynolds, 27, divorced,
98
00:07:00,962 --> 00:07:03,670
cocktail waitress
at the Harem Room Casino.
99
00:07:13,183 --> 00:07:14,515
Look at her throat!
100
00:07:14,559 --> 00:07:16,425
She must have lost
an awful lot of blood,
101
00:07:17,979 --> 00:07:19,891
Cheryl Hughes lost
a lot of blood, too,
102
00:07:20,482 --> 00:07:22,690
You read that in the newspapers?
103
00:07:22,901 --> 00:07:24,858
No, I didn't read that
in the newspapers,
104
00:07:25,987 --> 00:07:29,901
This girl lost a lot of blood, Sheriff,
but she didn't lose it here,
105
00:07:34,496 --> 00:07:36,112
Anything?
106
00:07:36,206 --> 00:07:37,572
We found a purse,
107
00:07:37,666 --> 00:07:39,749
There's signs
of a struggle up here,
108
00:07:41,169 --> 00:07:43,035
But nothing in between,
109
00:07:44,089 --> 00:07:45,671
Only our footprints,
110
00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:53,091
What did he do, throw her?
111
00:07:55,725 --> 00:07:59,560
Who said Bonnie Reynolds was thrown
22 feet into that culvert? The coroner?
112
00:07:59,604 --> 00:08:00,890
I haven't heard about it,
113
00:08:00,981 --> 00:08:03,439
Who said this new killing is connected
with the Cheryl Hughes murder?
114
00:08:03,441 --> 00:08:05,899
The police?
Not to me, they haven't,
115
00:08:05,944 --> 00:08:08,231
Who said Cheryl Hughes died
of massive blood loss?
116
00:08:08,321 --> 00:08:09,562
The coroner again?
117
00:08:09,614 --> 00:08:11,731
He hasn't even
turned in his report yet,
118
00:08:11,783 --> 00:08:14,241
And who, may I ask, said that
a super-powerful madman
119
00:08:14,285 --> 00:08:15,742
is running loose in Las Vegas?
120
00:08:15,787 --> 00:08:17,449
You hearing voices, Kolchak?
121
00:08:18,289 --> 00:08:20,076
I did not make up
the facts on this story,
122
00:08:20,125 --> 00:08:21,411
I know you're bored,
123
00:08:21,459 --> 00:08:22,700
Big-time reporter like you,
124
00:08:22,794 --> 00:08:24,794
condemned to the sticks
with us journalistic rubes,
125
00:08:24,838 --> 00:08:27,876
I know you'd like
a big, fat byline on a big, fat story
126
00:08:27,966 --> 00:08:30,424
so you can pay your way
back to a big, fat city job,
127
00:08:30,468 --> 00:08:32,926
but Kolchak,
I expect you to report,
128
00:08:32,971 --> 00:08:34,803
not to come up with fairy tales,
129
00:08:36,141 --> 00:08:37,348
And, Kolchak...
130
00:08:38,435 --> 00:08:39,767
Quit bugging the P.D.
131
00:08:39,811 --> 00:08:41,491
If something turns up,
they'll let us know,
132
00:08:41,563 --> 00:08:43,555
Meanwhile, use your head
and lay off,
133
00:08:43,648 --> 00:08:45,014
Whatever they're up to,
134
00:08:45,108 --> 00:08:47,441
they don't want any help
from amateur bloodhounds like you,
135
00:08:57,662 --> 00:09:00,530
Friday, May 21st, 8:06 A. m.
136
00:09:00,623 --> 00:09:02,865
Apartment of Carol Hanocheck,
137
00:09:02,959 --> 00:09:04,370
swing shift cocktail waitress
138
00:09:04,461 --> 00:09:06,794
in the Bird of Paradise
Show Lounge.
139
00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:09,122
She'd gotten home
around 2: 15 A. M.,
140
00:09:09,215 --> 00:09:11,207
poured herself a glass of milk,
141
00:09:11,301 --> 00:09:14,214
opened the back door
of the kitchen for reasons unknown,
142
00:09:14,304 --> 00:09:16,045
and died like the others...
143
00:09:16,139 --> 00:09:18,051
suddenly, quietly,
144
00:09:18,141 --> 00:09:20,053
without disturbing
her sleeping roommate
145
00:09:20,143 --> 00:09:21,884
only a few feet away.
146
00:09:21,978 --> 00:09:26,222
Something of a pattern had
started to form, and it was ugly.
147
00:09:27,317 --> 00:09:30,276
It was then
that people stopped talking.
148
00:09:30,361 --> 00:09:31,943
Does that surprise you?
149
00:09:32,030 --> 00:09:35,740
Look, you're not the only one
that likes to play detective,
150
00:09:35,825 --> 00:09:39,068
The police, the Sheriff boys,
they all think they're pretty good,
151
00:09:39,162 --> 00:09:41,074
And they don't need you,
152
00:09:41,164 --> 00:09:43,622
You know,
you really make me feel wanted,
153
00:09:44,751 --> 00:09:47,084
We've had three murders
in town, Bernie,
154
00:09:47,170 --> 00:09:49,583
We have one tremendously
strong guy, maybe more,
155
00:09:49,672 --> 00:09:51,584
who goes around
killing young girls,
156
00:09:51,674 --> 00:09:53,836
and they all lost a lot of blood,
157
00:09:54,844 --> 00:09:56,756
You aren't supposed
to know about that,
158
00:09:56,846 --> 00:09:59,714
I'm not supposed to know
about that, And I know it,
159
00:09:59,808 --> 00:10:01,800
What about your people
down at the Bureau?
160
00:10:01,893 --> 00:10:04,330
No, this is nothing for the Bureau
to mess with at this stage,
161
00:10:04,354 --> 00:10:07,267
You could make
some unofficial inquiries for me,
162
00:10:08,733 --> 00:10:09,733
Like?
163
00:10:09,776 --> 00:10:13,440
You could check around the country
and check all the hospitals
164
00:10:13,530 --> 00:10:17,114
and see if any of them
have had corpses recently like ours,
165
00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:18,816
all with a big loss of blood,
166
00:10:18,910 --> 00:10:22,449
You could check all the insane
asylums across the country,
167
00:10:22,539 --> 00:10:26,123
see if they released recently
a nut who thinks he's Count Dracula,
168
00:10:26,209 --> 00:10:28,667
even if he hasn't done
anything to prove it,
169
00:10:28,753 --> 00:10:30,710
Do you believe
in vampires, little boy?
170
00:10:30,797 --> 00:10:32,709
That's funny, That's very funny,
171
00:10:32,757 --> 00:10:34,373
That's very funny, Bernie,
172
00:10:37,220 --> 00:10:40,133
Are you gonna do it, or sit there
like a cheap goniff guzzling my beer?
173
00:10:41,391 --> 00:10:42,802
I'll think about it, okay?
174
00:10:42,892 --> 00:10:45,680
Meanwhile, I hope
it doesn't disillusion you to know
175
00:10:45,770 --> 00:10:49,309
that the local law enforcement people
go along with your views... somewhat,
176
00:10:49,399 --> 00:10:52,813
At this moment, they're waiting for
a special report from the coroner
177
00:10:52,902 --> 00:10:56,361
and two pathology experts
who were flown up from L.A.P.D.
178
00:10:56,447 --> 00:10:58,564
along with
a small truckload of equipment,
179
00:10:58,658 --> 00:11:00,399
Oh, hi, Marilyn, how are you?
180
00:11:01,828 --> 00:11:04,411
- I like your luncheon place,
- Yeah,
181
00:11:04,497 --> 00:11:06,454
If you want to hear
that special report,
182
00:11:06,499 --> 00:11:08,832
meet me at the sheriff's office,
Starts at 6:30,
183
00:11:08,918 --> 00:11:10,875
- Hey, thanks,
- Don't thank me, Just be there,
184
00:11:10,962 --> 00:11:12,419
Where are you going?
185
00:11:18,136 --> 00:11:21,425
Mr. Kolchak, telephone please.
Mr. Kolchak.
186
00:11:24,350 --> 00:11:27,843
Carl Kolchak, telephone, please.
Carl Kolchak.
187
00:11:30,356 --> 00:11:31,392
Kolchak,
188
00:11:31,482 --> 00:11:32,482
Hi, Carl,
189
00:11:32,525 --> 00:11:34,858
I heard the Parkway Hospital
was knocked over,
190
00:11:34,944 --> 00:11:37,857
Knocked over for what?
Cash, drugs, equipment, what?
191
00:11:39,032 --> 00:11:40,113
Blood?
192
00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:42,943
That's right,
Every container in the place,
193
00:11:43,036 --> 00:11:44,277
Their entire stock,
194
00:11:44,329 --> 00:11:46,241
What about blood type?
195
00:11:46,331 --> 00:11:48,914
Seems blood type and Rh factor
didn't much matter,
196
00:11:50,501 --> 00:11:52,993
- Can't stop now, See you,
- Yeah, but...
197
00:12:21,241 --> 00:12:23,949
6:30 p. M.,
Clark County Courthouse.
198
00:12:24,035 --> 00:12:25,617
Present in addition to myself
199
00:12:25,703 --> 00:12:27,945
and two incompetents
who called themselves reporters
200
00:12:28,039 --> 00:12:30,622
were Warren Butcher
of the Sheriff's Office,
201
00:12:30,708 --> 00:12:33,621
Thomas Paine
of the District Attorney's Office,
202
00:12:33,711 --> 00:12:37,079
Captain Edward Masterson
of the Las Vegas Police Department,
203
00:12:37,173 --> 00:12:39,130
and old buddy Bernie Jenks.
204
00:12:39,217 --> 00:12:41,550
Holding forth
with his inimitable cool,
205
00:12:41,636 --> 00:12:44,470
Dr. Robert Makurji,
boy coroner.
206
00:12:44,555 --> 00:12:47,923
We found that death in each case
was extremely swift,
207
00:12:48,017 --> 00:12:49,929
coming in something
less than a minute,
208
00:12:50,019 --> 00:12:53,228
After the initial wounds
were inflicted,
209
00:12:53,314 --> 00:12:55,055
the blood was drained
very quickly,
210
00:12:55,149 --> 00:12:57,061
some kind of suction device
being used,
211
00:12:57,151 --> 00:13:00,315
This would explain why no blood
was found anywhere in the victims
212
00:13:00,405 --> 00:13:02,317
or in the areas
they were discovered,
213
00:13:02,407 --> 00:13:04,820
Doctor, Kolchak, Daily News.
214
00:13:04,909 --> 00:13:08,573
Do you have any idea what
could have made these wounds?
215
00:13:08,663 --> 00:13:12,202
They're not unlike the bite
of a medium-sized dog,
216
00:13:12,292 --> 00:13:13,828
What do you mean, dog?
217
00:13:13,918 --> 00:13:16,376
What are you telling us,
a dog did these murders?
218
00:13:16,421 --> 00:13:19,585
I didn't mean to indicate the wounds
were actually inflicted by a dog,
219
00:13:19,674 --> 00:13:23,088
only that they're similar to those
which might be caused by a dog,
220
00:13:24,178 --> 00:13:26,761
A rather interesting point
is that we found another substance
221
00:13:26,848 --> 00:13:30,558
mixed in with the traces of blood
in the throat wounds, namely saliva,
222
00:13:31,769 --> 00:13:33,101
What do you mean, saliva?
223
00:13:34,188 --> 00:13:36,430
I mean saliva, Sheriff Butcher,
224
00:13:36,524 --> 00:13:38,186
Human saliva,
225
00:13:44,699 --> 00:13:47,112
If Makurji had suggested
that the murders
226
00:13:47,201 --> 00:13:49,614
were committed
by a giant butterfly,
227
00:13:49,704 --> 00:13:51,445
he couldn't have made more sparks.
228
00:13:53,458 --> 00:13:57,077
Now... what do you mean, human?
229
00:13:58,087 --> 00:14:00,579
Are you suggesting
that each of these women
230
00:14:00,673 --> 00:14:03,211
was bitten in the throat
by a man?
231
00:14:03,301 --> 00:14:05,759
At present,
the evidence points that way,
232
00:14:05,803 --> 00:14:09,422
However, I couldn't and wouldn't
hazard a guess as to motivation,
233
00:14:09,515 --> 00:14:11,552
I can only be sure
they each died from shock
234
00:14:11,642 --> 00:14:13,804
induced by massive loss of blood,
235
00:14:13,895 --> 00:14:18,765
Dr, Makurji, is it possible
that he killed these women
236
00:14:18,816 --> 00:14:21,775
by biting them in the throat
for the express purpose
237
00:14:21,819 --> 00:14:23,401
of drinking their blood?
238
00:14:23,488 --> 00:14:26,572
Kolchak, you're here by
the mutual suffrage of us all,
239
00:14:26,657 --> 00:14:28,523
- Sufferance,
- What?
240
00:14:28,618 --> 00:14:29,859
It's "sufferance," Sheriff,
241
00:14:29,952 --> 00:14:32,114
Well, whatever it is,
just shut up!
242
00:14:34,415 --> 00:14:36,281
I'll answer that,
243
00:14:36,334 --> 00:14:39,372
There have been cases of people who,
through some mental derangement,
244
00:14:39,462 --> 00:14:41,920
have come to believe
they were vampires,
245
00:14:42,006 --> 00:14:44,419
In Germany in the 1920s,
there was one fellow
246
00:14:44,509 --> 00:14:46,629
who did use his teeth
to rip out his victims' throats,
247
00:14:46,677 --> 00:14:48,794
We are not going to jump
to any conclusions
248
00:14:48,888 --> 00:14:51,505
about who or what
killed these women,
249
00:14:52,892 --> 00:14:57,853
It is possible, you know, to type
a person's blood from his saliva,
250
00:14:57,980 --> 00:15:01,564
If I were you gentlemen,
I'd look for a very anemic fellow,
251
00:15:01,651 --> 00:15:03,734
possibly with
some rare blood disease,
252
00:15:03,820 --> 00:15:05,857
I don't care what kind of a nut
killed these women,
253
00:15:05,988 --> 00:15:08,071
But I'll tell you this...
he's out there,
254
00:15:08,157 --> 00:15:10,069
and I'll bet he's high on pot
or the hard stuff,
255
00:15:10,159 --> 00:15:12,401
and he's going to kill again
unless he's stopped,
256
00:15:14,664 --> 00:15:18,408
What have your people got
on this Parkway blood theft?
257
00:15:18,501 --> 00:15:21,585
Well, the latest is the nurse said
258
00:15:21,671 --> 00:15:24,459
she saw something funny
out there last night
259
00:15:24,549 --> 00:15:25,915
or early this morning,
260
00:15:26,008 --> 00:15:29,251
Seems that a tall, skinny guy
dressed as an orderly
261
00:15:29,345 --> 00:15:32,509
was nosing around
the refrigerated storage area,
262
00:15:32,557 --> 00:15:34,765
That's where they keep
the blood and the plasma,
263
00:15:34,851 --> 00:15:36,592
She didn't think much of it then,
264
00:15:36,686 --> 00:15:40,930
but later when she spoke
about the guy to the floor super,
265
00:15:41,023 --> 00:15:46,143
she was told that there was
no such tall, skinny guy on duty there,
266
00:15:49,407 --> 00:15:50,898
Description as follows...
267
00:15:50,992 --> 00:15:53,359
white male adult...
268
00:15:54,454 --> 00:15:57,071
6- feet-2 to 6-feet-4, thin,
269
00:15:57,165 --> 00:15:59,703
about 175 pounds
with pale complexion,
270
00:15:59,792 --> 00:16:01,374
Dark hair,
271
00:16:01,461 --> 00:16:03,418
So we start looking for a man,
272
00:16:03,463 --> 00:16:05,876
local resident or,
worse yet, some outsider
273
00:16:05,965 --> 00:16:07,797
who may not even
still be in the area,
274
00:16:07,884 --> 00:16:10,922
We'll check the airport,
the bus terminal, railroad station,
275
00:16:11,053 --> 00:16:13,386
blockade the highways,
and if we're lucky, we'll get him,
276
00:16:13,473 --> 00:16:16,557
if he's stupid enough to still be
hanging around after three crimes,
277
00:16:16,642 --> 00:16:18,099
You got any other suggestions?
278
00:16:18,186 --> 00:16:20,223
Just do it,
All right, let's break this up,
279
00:16:20,313 --> 00:16:23,431
Thank you, Doctor MA...
MA...
280
00:16:23,524 --> 00:16:25,015
Thank you, doctor,
281
00:16:25,109 --> 00:16:28,227
Mr. Paine, I shouldn't be
too inclined
282
00:16:28,321 --> 00:16:31,735
to reject Mr. Kolchak's theory
out of hand if I were you,
283
00:16:33,284 --> 00:16:37,654
It is at best highly speculative,
but not altogether unwarranted,
284
00:16:44,253 --> 00:16:47,371
You can throw away that cassette,
285
00:16:47,465 --> 00:16:50,674
Now, this "vampire" stuff
286
00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:53,719
is to stay right in this room,
287
00:16:53,804 --> 00:16:55,716
Until we have
the assailant in custody,
288
00:16:55,806 --> 00:16:59,345
we say nothing about these women
being drained of blood,
289
00:16:59,435 --> 00:17:01,643
There will be no rumors,
no reports in the paper,
290
00:17:01,729 --> 00:17:05,518
The official opinion at this time is that
the cause of death is undetermined,
291
00:17:06,609 --> 00:17:08,475
We don't want to cause a panic,
292
00:17:10,154 --> 00:17:12,692
It's bad for police operations,
It's bad for the people,
293
00:17:14,575 --> 00:17:16,407
And it's bad for business,
294
00:17:18,913 --> 00:17:21,200
Thank you for your cooperation,
295
00:17:23,501 --> 00:17:26,414
Kolchak, I want to have
a talk with you,
296
00:17:26,504 --> 00:17:29,417
Boys, there's no reason
to bother the doctor anymore,
297
00:17:29,507 --> 00:17:32,090
I have a prepared statement
in my office,
298
00:17:32,176 --> 00:17:34,213
You can go back to the lab,
299
00:17:34,303 --> 00:17:37,091
You're becoming a real pest,
300
00:17:37,181 --> 00:17:40,424
I'll have to have a word or two
with Vincenzo about you,
301
00:17:40,518 --> 00:17:43,101
Maybe one of the other boys
at the office
302
00:17:43,187 --> 00:17:44,974
should handle this from here on,
303
00:17:48,192 --> 00:17:50,855
Keep your nose clean, son,
Stay out of other people's business,
304
00:17:50,945 --> 00:17:52,607
It's healthier that way,
305
00:17:58,286 --> 00:18:01,199
Will you watch what you're saying?
You know these guys,
306
00:18:01,289 --> 00:18:03,600
You could find yourself out of a job
and 86'd all over town,
307
00:18:03,624 --> 00:18:05,536
That go for you, too?
308
00:18:05,626 --> 00:18:08,369
Who can talk to you
when you get like this?
309
00:18:08,462 --> 00:18:12,046
Listen, I'll nose around unofficially
for you on anything you bring me,
310
00:18:12,133 --> 00:18:13,374
just between the two of us,
311
00:18:13,467 --> 00:18:16,050
but do me a favor and stay away
from me for a few days,
312
00:18:16,137 --> 00:18:18,049
just for friendship's sake,
313
00:18:23,853 --> 00:18:25,310
Did I say it was a vampire?
314
00:18:25,396 --> 00:18:27,308
What does
your suggested headline say?
315
00:18:27,398 --> 00:18:28,934
The story makes it clear,
316
00:18:29,025 --> 00:18:32,234
"Vampire Killer in Las Vegas,"
question mark, Do I misread?
317
00:18:32,320 --> 00:18:33,902
The story makes it clear,
318
00:18:33,988 --> 00:18:36,571
Do I misread, or did you
use the word "vampire"?
319
00:18:37,658 --> 00:18:40,150
Some screwball
who imagines he's a vampire
320
00:18:40,244 --> 00:18:42,222
is loose in Las Vegas,
and people ought to be told,
321
00:18:42,246 --> 00:18:44,363
If there's a screwball
loose in Las Vegas,
322
00:18:44,457 --> 00:18:45,948
his last name begins with a "K,"
323
00:18:46,042 --> 00:18:48,602
I've heard about the little scene
you had with the boys downtown,
324
00:18:48,669 --> 00:18:51,082
No vampire stories, clear?
325
00:18:59,764 --> 00:19:03,053
How about a special featurette
with a border of roses...
326
00:19:03,100 --> 00:19:06,218
an interview
with the two girl victims in heaven,
327
00:19:06,270 --> 00:19:08,853
with a celestial choir
in the background,
328
00:19:08,939 --> 00:19:10,475
Out!
329
00:19:17,073 --> 00:19:20,237
I'm sorry,
I guess I fell asleep,
330
00:19:20,284 --> 00:19:21,284
Yes,
331
00:19:21,369 --> 00:19:24,077
What were you saying?
332
00:19:24,121 --> 00:19:27,410
You do great things
for my masculine ego, you know?
333
00:19:27,458 --> 00:19:29,245
Yeah,
334
00:19:29,293 --> 00:19:32,707
Actually, I was saying that
I think that Vincenzo
335
00:19:32,797 --> 00:19:35,585
has the news sense
of a tree stump,
336
00:19:36,801 --> 00:19:40,090
It's got to be one man,
It's got to be,
337
00:19:40,137 --> 00:19:42,424
Big, strong, psychotic,
338
00:19:42,473 --> 00:19:47,264
You're certainly making me very glad
that I work nights,
339
00:19:47,311 --> 00:19:52,147
Well, I told you
to quit working nights, didn't I?
340
00:20:11,335 --> 00:20:13,042
I am forever in your debt, love,
341
00:20:14,839 --> 00:20:16,046
What was that?
342
00:20:17,508 --> 00:20:18,919
The killer's done it again,
343
00:20:19,009 --> 00:20:20,545
Oh, no,
344
00:20:20,636 --> 00:20:24,175
Only this time, he was seen,
345
00:20:47,496 --> 00:20:49,988
I saw him standing over there,
346
00:20:50,040 --> 00:20:52,623
I thought he was kissing her,
347
00:20:52,710 --> 00:20:57,330
Then he turned, and she fell down
over there by the car,
348
00:20:59,508 --> 00:21:01,340
He must have followed her home,
349
00:21:02,845 --> 00:21:05,383
I'm sorry, I can't,
350
00:21:17,193 --> 00:21:18,559
Victim number four.
351
00:21:18,652 --> 00:21:21,941
Mary Branden, showgirl, 25,
352
00:21:22,031 --> 00:21:26,901
five feet eight inches tall,
125 luscious pounds...
353
00:21:26,994 --> 00:21:30,112
less the weight of
12 pints of blood, of course.
354
00:21:30,206 --> 00:21:32,368
Looks like Bela Lugosi struck again,
355
00:21:33,375 --> 00:21:35,287
Knock it off,
That's her daughter,
356
00:21:38,088 --> 00:21:39,249
Oops,
357
00:21:41,217 --> 00:21:43,254
I'm all right now,
358
00:21:44,637 --> 00:21:47,129
Now, the car he drove away in...
was it new?
359
00:21:47,223 --> 00:21:48,464
No,
360
00:21:48,557 --> 00:21:52,141
It was a few years old, I think,
361
00:21:52,228 --> 00:21:53,890
It was a maroon coupe,
362
00:21:53,979 --> 00:21:55,220
I'll call it in,
363
00:21:55,272 --> 00:21:57,810
Barney, may I, uh...?
364
00:21:57,900 --> 00:22:00,062
Yeah, but take it easy,
365
00:22:00,152 --> 00:22:03,566
I'm sorry, ma'am,
Kolchak, the Daily News.
366
00:22:04,573 --> 00:22:06,815
That was your daughter?
367
00:22:07,952 --> 00:22:10,911
My best contact in Las Vegas
has always been Helen O'Brien,
368
00:22:10,996 --> 00:22:13,784
chief switchboard operator
at the county courthouse.
369
00:22:13,874 --> 00:22:15,581
Hello, adorable,
370
00:22:15,668 --> 00:22:17,910
You're a sadist,
371
00:22:18,003 --> 00:22:19,414
Oh, I could take it back,
372
00:22:19,505 --> 00:22:22,248
Over my dead, plump body,
373
00:22:22,341 --> 00:22:24,082
Listen, you magnificent morsel,
374
00:22:24,176 --> 00:22:26,088
the DMV is
checking on the suspect's car,
375
00:22:26,178 --> 00:22:28,215
You couldn't help me
in that area, could you?
376
00:22:28,305 --> 00:22:29,716
Of course not,
377
00:22:30,850 --> 00:22:32,182
Bribed again,
378
00:22:35,354 --> 00:22:36,354
What?
379
00:22:38,858 --> 00:22:40,895
How'd you like to see
the killer's face?
380
00:24:23,170 --> 00:24:25,287
Sherman Duffy
of the Chicago Globe
381
00:24:25,381 --> 00:24:27,964
once described a reporter
as follows...
382
00:24:28,050 --> 00:24:31,919
socially, he fits in somewhere
between a hooker and a bartender.
383
00:24:32,012 --> 00:24:34,925
Spiritually, he stands
beside Galileo,
384
00:24:35,015 --> 00:24:37,257
because he knows
the world is round.
385
00:24:37,351 --> 00:24:41,220
Not that it does much good
when his editor knows it's flat.
386
00:24:41,730 --> 00:24:43,500
Shelley Forbes
has got to be his fifth victim,
387
00:24:43,524 --> 00:24:45,106
Look at the way
her dog was killed,
388
00:24:45,192 --> 00:24:47,275
- You never give up, do you?
- What do you mean?
389
00:24:47,361 --> 00:24:49,102
I mean this is unacceptable,
390
00:24:49,196 --> 00:24:51,279
I'm very close to firing you,
391
00:24:51,365 --> 00:24:53,448
even though the owner of this paper
has a soft spot in his head
392
00:24:53,450 --> 00:24:55,533
for has-been big city reporters,
393
00:24:57,454 --> 00:24:59,411
I am tired of your pressure,
394
00:24:59,456 --> 00:25:01,413
I am tired of the owner's pressure,
395
00:25:01,458 --> 00:25:04,917
I'm tired of the pressure all around me
to blow this story up on the one hand
396
00:25:04,962 --> 00:25:06,544
and keep it under wraps
on the other,
397
00:25:06,630 --> 00:25:08,587
I am tired of being the middleman,
398
00:25:08,674 --> 00:25:09,960
Do you understand that?
399
00:25:10,134 --> 00:25:11,625
Can you understand that?
400
00:25:13,470 --> 00:25:15,462
What do you want, Vincenzo?
401
00:25:15,597 --> 00:25:17,839
A testimonial from Count Dracula?
402
00:25:17,933 --> 00:25:18,933
Out! Get out!
403
00:25:18,976 --> 00:25:21,684
What is this "Out! Out!
Get out!" game we play?
404
00:25:21,770 --> 00:25:24,103
This nut thinks he is a vampire,
405
00:25:24,148 --> 00:25:26,435
He has killed four,
maybe five women,
406
00:25:26,483 --> 00:25:29,317
He has drained every drop of blood
from every one of them,
407
00:25:29,403 --> 00:25:31,645
Now, that is news, News!
408
00:25:31,739 --> 00:25:33,731
And we are a newspaper!
409
00:25:33,782 --> 00:25:36,991
We are supposed to print news,
not suppress it!
410
00:25:37,077 --> 00:25:39,694
You know darn well why we're
soft-pedaling this thing,
411
00:25:39,788 --> 00:25:41,450
No! Tell me why!
412
00:25:41,498 --> 00:25:44,081
Could it be because
we have been told to?
413
00:25:44,168 --> 00:25:45,955
You are an idiot,
414
00:25:46,003 --> 00:25:48,086
Worse, You're irresponsible,
415
00:25:48,172 --> 00:25:50,664
All these murders mean to you
is a byline,
416
00:25:50,758 --> 00:25:53,045
What difference does it matter
what it means to me?
417
00:25:53,135 --> 00:25:54,876
The point is that
we are suppressing news,
418
00:25:54,970 --> 00:25:56,427
we are withholding information,
419
00:25:56,513 --> 00:25:58,379
Everybody in town
knows what's going on...
420
00:25:58,474 --> 00:26:00,761
the police, the D.A...
the coroner's office,
421
00:26:00,809 --> 00:26:03,455
Every reporter on every newspaper
in Las Vegas knows what's going on,
422
00:26:03,479 --> 00:26:06,222
The only people
who don't know are the people,
423
00:26:06,315 --> 00:26:08,978
At last you got the point,
424
00:26:09,026 --> 00:26:11,359
The people
in Las Vegas don't know,
425
00:26:11,445 --> 00:26:14,062
because the people would
come unglued if they did know,
426
00:26:14,156 --> 00:26:17,115
even more than they're
coming unglued already, Capisce?
427
00:26:17,201 --> 00:26:20,069
Tuesday, May 25th,
7:30 p.m.
428
00:26:20,162 --> 00:26:22,404
Helen O'Brien had told me
429
00:26:22,498 --> 00:26:25,491
that the DMV had come up
with 16 possibles.
430
00:26:25,584 --> 00:26:27,496
All but one had been eliminated.
431
00:26:27,544 --> 00:26:29,752
The car owner's name,
Martin Lubin,
432
00:26:29,838 --> 00:26:32,080
address on Spring Mountain Road,
433
00:26:32,174 --> 00:26:34,507
name and address both phony.
434
00:26:34,593 --> 00:26:37,882
Name of salesman
who sold car, Fred Hurley.
435
00:26:37,971 --> 00:26:39,712
So I sets him a price,
436
00:26:39,807 --> 00:26:43,300
He don't say nothing,
just stands there looking at me,
437
00:26:47,356 --> 00:26:49,439
How'd you find out about this?
438
00:26:49,525 --> 00:26:50,982
A fat little bird told me about it,
439
00:26:51,068 --> 00:26:53,811
- Just keep your mouth shut,
- Yes, sir,
440
00:26:53,862 --> 00:26:54,862
Okay,
441
00:26:54,947 --> 00:26:59,237
Well, like I said, he just
stands there looking at me,
442
00:26:59,326 --> 00:27:01,363
Then he tells me
the price is too high...
443
00:27:01,453 --> 00:27:03,319
$300 too high,
444
00:27:03,413 --> 00:27:06,372
He keeps staring, as if daring me
to tell him the price is $1200,
445
00:27:06,458 --> 00:27:07,539
Is this the fellow?
446
00:27:07,626 --> 00:27:11,586
Stop doing our job for us,
That's already been established,
447
00:27:11,713 --> 00:27:14,046
You see, I told them
only he had a mustache,
448
00:27:14,133 --> 00:27:16,466
Mustache, Did you
sell him the car?
449
00:27:16,552 --> 00:27:18,384
Well, I started to say no,
450
00:27:18,470 --> 00:27:21,713
but something inside tells me,
"Don't mess with this guy,"
451
00:27:21,807 --> 00:27:24,720
I mean, he's a creep,
with them red eyes and that voice,
452
00:27:24,810 --> 00:27:27,848
He's enough to keep a guy
from working nights,
453
00:27:28,480 --> 00:27:31,894
All my life I've waited
for a story like this, All my life!
454
00:27:31,984 --> 00:27:34,271
When it finally comes,
I can't get it printed,
455
00:27:34,361 --> 00:27:38,526
Do you know
the holes in Mary Branden's neck
456
00:27:38,574 --> 00:27:41,112
were airbrushed out before
they printed the photographs?
457
00:27:42,202 --> 00:27:46,572
If you keep going on like this,
you're going to get fired again,
458
00:27:46,665 --> 00:27:48,907
Let's see...
how many times has it been?
459
00:27:50,002 --> 00:27:51,413
Twice in Washington,
460
00:27:51,503 --> 00:27:53,039
three times in New York,
461
00:27:53,130 --> 00:27:54,996
twice in Chicago,
462
00:27:55,090 --> 00:27:58,959
and once...
or was it twice? In Boston,
463
00:27:59,928 --> 00:28:00,928
Oh,
464
00:28:02,097 --> 00:28:05,181
I'm becoming extinct
in my own lifetime,
465
00:28:06,977 --> 00:28:08,343
Homo Newshawkus.
466
00:28:08,437 --> 00:28:11,180
Natural habitat,
a pool of sour mash bourbon,
467
00:28:11,273 --> 00:28:13,936
You know, I really ought to
light a candle to Ben Hecht,
468
00:28:14,985 --> 00:28:16,066
Here,
469
00:28:17,154 --> 00:28:19,567
You ought to
quit your job, you know,
470
00:28:19,615 --> 00:28:21,481
And you'll support me?
471
00:28:21,575 --> 00:28:24,568
Well, I...
Come on, honey, I'm serious,
472
00:28:24,620 --> 00:28:27,488
That weirdo's hit five girls,
and they were all night workers,
473
00:28:27,581 --> 00:28:28,788
Five?
474
00:28:28,832 --> 00:28:30,915
Yeah, five,
475
00:28:30,959 --> 00:28:33,076
A girl named Shelley Forbes
is missing,
476
00:28:33,170 --> 00:28:35,412
and I'll bet my bottom dollar
she's victim number five,
477
00:28:36,506 --> 00:28:38,748
You know, you iron a shirt
pretty good there,
478
00:28:40,177 --> 00:28:42,920
I've been doing some thinking,
479
00:28:43,972 --> 00:28:45,929
What do you know about vampires?
480
00:28:45,974 --> 00:28:48,591
Only that they wear dinner suits
481
00:28:48,644 --> 00:28:50,601
and talk
with marbles in their mouth,
482
00:28:50,646 --> 00:28:52,262
Will you please be serious?
483
00:28:52,356 --> 00:28:54,097
Watch my natural habitat there,
484
00:28:59,947 --> 00:29:01,108
Open it,
485
00:29:03,617 --> 00:29:05,654
"Everything You Always Wanted
to Know About Vampires.
486
00:29:05,661 --> 00:29:06,868
But Were Afraid to Ask."
487
00:29:06,954 --> 00:29:09,037
No, you're going to look at it,
488
00:29:09,122 --> 00:29:10,533
Come on, Why?
489
00:29:10,624 --> 00:29:13,367
- What if the killer's a real vampire?
- I've had a very long week,
490
00:29:13,460 --> 00:29:15,543
He's done everything
that's in this book,
491
00:29:15,629 --> 00:29:17,712
You're going to read it,
492
00:29:17,798 --> 00:29:20,461
Yes, all right,
I'm going to read it,
493
00:29:23,971 --> 00:29:26,588
Oh, now, come on,
you're a big, tough reporter,
494
00:29:26,682 --> 00:29:30,221
You can take it, You might even
get a good feature article out of it,
495
00:29:31,228 --> 00:29:32,560
That's it,
496
00:29:34,815 --> 00:29:37,057
"Since the beginning
of man's existence,
497
00:29:37,150 --> 00:29:38,891
"there have been
creatures of the night,
498
00:29:38,986 --> 00:29:41,899
"crazed monsters
that track their bloody prints
499
00:29:41,989 --> 00:29:43,901
"through the pages
of fact and fiction,
500
00:29:43,991 --> 00:29:46,574
"Of them all, the vampire
seems to have accumulated
501
00:29:46,660 --> 00:29:49,573
the largest body
of documentation,".
502
00:29:54,418 --> 00:29:58,082
"By night, the vampire
is virtually indestructible,
503
00:29:58,171 --> 00:30:00,754
"fearing only
the sign of the cross,
504
00:30:00,841 --> 00:30:03,254
"Before daybreak,
he must return to his coffin,
505
00:30:03,343 --> 00:30:07,178
"otherwise he will be destroyed
by the purifying rays of the sun,
506
00:30:07,264 --> 00:30:09,096
"It is then,
while he lies dormant,
507
00:30:09,182 --> 00:30:10,764
"he can be destroyed
508
00:30:10,851 --> 00:30:14,515
by hammering
a wooden stake through his heart,".
509
00:30:18,317 --> 00:30:20,274
According to the legend,
510
00:30:20,360 --> 00:30:23,444
the victim of the vampire
will ultimately rise again
511
00:30:23,530 --> 00:30:25,112
as the living dead,
512
00:30:25,198 --> 00:30:28,441
and must be destroyed
in a similar manner.
513
00:30:28,535 --> 00:30:33,781
From any source available,
the vampire must have blood.
514
00:30:55,937 --> 00:30:58,099
Help! Help!
515
00:30:58,190 --> 00:30:59,681
Someone help!
516
00:31:05,947 --> 00:31:07,734
He's in there,
517
00:31:41,358 --> 00:31:43,645
I was doing double duty
as night editor
518
00:31:43,693 --> 00:31:45,980
when the P.D. squawk box
went crazy
519
00:31:46,029 --> 00:31:48,988
about a wild brawl
at the Old Town Hospital.
520
00:32:47,382 --> 00:32:51,126
Thursday, May 27th,
8: 20 A. M., and things were rolling.
521
00:32:51,219 --> 00:32:53,051
Our morning edition hit the streets
522
00:32:53,138 --> 00:32:55,050
recapping all the action
at the hospital.
523
00:32:55,140 --> 00:32:57,883
The TV people, as usual,
had missed out completely,
524
00:32:57,976 --> 00:33:01,435
and the radio stations were literally
reading our copy on the air.
525
00:33:01,480 --> 00:33:04,063
But now the whole lid
was really blown off.
526
00:33:04,149 --> 00:33:06,766
The maniac had been identified.
527
00:33:09,988 --> 00:33:11,908
Sorry I'm late, I just got these
out of the soup,
528
00:33:15,327 --> 00:33:17,910
Now, here's a rundown
529
00:33:17,996 --> 00:33:20,238
on the Scotland Yard
and the Interpol findings,
530
00:33:20,332 --> 00:33:22,870
Subject... Janos Skorzeny,
531
00:33:22,959 --> 00:33:25,918
Born in Craesti, Romania, 1899,
532
00:33:26,004 --> 00:33:28,371
Now, wait just a minute,
533
00:33:28,465 --> 00:33:32,129
You trying to tell me this guy
is over 70 years old?
534
00:33:32,219 --> 00:33:35,212
Come on, Bernie, your boys
have come up with the wrong man,
535
00:33:35,305 --> 00:33:36,546
Like hell we have!
536
00:33:36,598 --> 00:33:39,261
These facts have been
triple-checked and confirmed,
537
00:33:39,309 --> 00:33:41,426
I've been up all night,
and I'm pretty tired,
538
00:33:41,520 --> 00:33:43,512
Do you want it or don't you?
539
00:33:43,605 --> 00:33:45,471
Just take it easy,
Let's hear it,
540
00:33:45,565 --> 00:33:47,431
All right,
541
00:33:48,652 --> 00:33:50,939
Skorzeny's father died in 1923,
542
00:33:51,029 --> 00:33:54,147
He left somewhere between
$75 and $100 million,
543
00:33:56,785 --> 00:33:58,447
At this time he began to travel,
544
00:33:58,495 --> 00:34:00,578
and he became known
throughout Eastern Europe
545
00:34:00,622 --> 00:34:02,534
as a big lover of nightlife,
546
00:34:02,624 --> 00:34:06,083
We don't have a lot more
on him before World War II,
547
00:34:06,169 --> 00:34:08,411
Scotland Yard reports
he showed up in England
548
00:34:08,505 --> 00:34:10,997
just in time
for the German blitz,
549
00:34:12,133 --> 00:34:15,251
I'm sure Mr. Kolchak will find
the following facts of interest,
550
00:34:16,346 --> 00:34:20,181
Such formality from a man
who always guzzles my beer.
551
00:34:20,267 --> 00:34:24,102
While in England, he passed
himself off as Dr, Paul Belasco,
552
00:34:24,187 --> 00:34:26,975
specialist in hematology research,
553
00:34:27,023 --> 00:34:29,436
His work involved
freshly killed air raid victims
554
00:34:29,484 --> 00:34:31,851
from various
London emergency rooms,
555
00:34:31,945 --> 00:34:35,609
As a matter of fact,
at his residence in Shafto Court,
556
00:34:35,657 --> 00:34:37,944
he installed several kinds
of sumps, tubs,
557
00:34:37,993 --> 00:34:41,612
and an extremely large
commercial meat freezer,
558
00:34:44,332 --> 00:34:48,622
In 1948, he turned up in Canada,
still as Dr, Belasco,
559
00:34:48,670 --> 00:34:51,128
Further checking
made his presence known
560
00:34:51,214 --> 00:34:53,547
in almost every place
along the US-Canadian border
561
00:34:53,633 --> 00:34:54,874
where rioting and violence
562
00:34:54,968 --> 00:34:57,381
and a number of dead bodies
were found,
563
00:34:57,470 --> 00:35:00,053
We believe he left Canada
for Vegas April 19th
564
00:35:00,140 --> 00:35:03,383
under the name of
Detective Constable Alan Hensley,
565
00:35:03,476 --> 00:35:05,559
Now, because of
his British citizenship,
566
00:35:05,645 --> 00:35:08,228
he is an international fugitive,
567
00:35:08,315 --> 00:35:10,898
so my people
are very interested in him,
568
00:35:10,984 --> 00:35:14,352
This is no longer just a local matter,
569
00:35:15,405 --> 00:35:17,192
Now, gentlemen,
570
00:35:17,240 --> 00:35:20,574
the one constant that has
shown up in all of our reports is
571
00:35:20,660 --> 00:35:22,743
that Skorzeny's travels
have always been accompanied
572
00:35:22,829 --> 00:35:24,912
by a number of unexplained killings,
573
00:35:24,998 --> 00:35:27,331
many of which
have one thing in common...
574
00:35:30,337 --> 00:35:32,624
A massive loss of blood,
575
00:35:33,715 --> 00:35:38,176
So, if Skorzeny is not the vampire
of Mr. Kolchak's theories,
576
00:35:38,261 --> 00:35:40,594
he is certainly the suspect
of multiple homicides
577
00:35:40,680 --> 00:35:42,421
extending back some 30 years,
578
00:35:42,515 --> 00:35:44,757
Mr. Jenks, you seem to be
running this show,
579
00:35:44,851 --> 00:35:46,592
Could I have a minute
to say something?
580
00:35:46,686 --> 00:35:50,930
- You have the floor,
- You keep it short,
581
00:35:52,567 --> 00:35:55,901
I was at the hospital yesterday,
and a lot of things were happening
582
00:35:55,945 --> 00:36:00,030
that you just simply
cannot explain away,
583
00:36:00,116 --> 00:36:04,360
Sheriff, your own men shot at him,
some at point-blank range,
584
00:36:04,412 --> 00:36:06,745
How come it didn't even
slow him down?
585
00:36:06,790 --> 00:36:10,409
How come a man over 70 years old
can outrun a police car?
586
00:36:10,502 --> 00:36:14,041
How come this same man, slugged
in the head, doesn't even bleed?
587
00:36:14,089 --> 00:36:16,422
I saw those gashes in his head,
and whatever it was
588
00:36:16,466 --> 00:36:19,425
that was trickling from those wounds
was clear. It was not blood!
589
00:36:19,469 --> 00:36:22,007
This guy's got a motor mouth,
Can't we shut him up?
590
00:36:22,097 --> 00:36:25,681
No, let him hang himself,
Then we'll finally be rid of him,
591
00:36:25,767 --> 00:36:29,101
So far he has killed four,
probably five women,
592
00:36:29,145 --> 00:36:32,604
The coroner said that
those bite marks on the throat
593
00:36:32,649 --> 00:36:34,231
were made by human teeth,
594
00:36:34,317 --> 00:36:37,901
He practically confirmed the fact
that he actually drank their blood,
595
00:36:37,987 --> 00:36:40,775
Now, wait, Whatever
this Skorzeny may be,
596
00:36:40,824 --> 00:36:43,908
he seems to be functioning
as if he were a vampire,
597
00:36:43,993 --> 00:36:47,282
You can go on operating
as if he were an ordinary man,
598
00:36:47,330 --> 00:36:48,787
That's up to you,
599
00:36:48,832 --> 00:36:51,791
But I know that the only way
you're going to get him
600
00:36:51,835 --> 00:36:53,872
is if you proceed
under the assumption
601
00:36:53,962 --> 00:36:55,749
that he's a real-life vampire!
602
00:36:55,797 --> 00:36:59,131
Now, the research
that I've been able to find...
603
00:36:59,175 --> 00:37:02,043
Wait a minute,
Have you lost your mind?
604
00:37:02,137 --> 00:37:05,380
Can you imagine the total
blind panic this town would be in
605
00:37:05,473 --> 00:37:09,057
if the public were told we were
actually looking for a vampire?
606
00:37:09,144 --> 00:37:11,557
Not to mention
the irreparable damage
607
00:37:11,646 --> 00:37:14,810
it would do to the image
of law enforcement in Vegas,
608
00:37:14,858 --> 00:37:17,066
That's what it's all about,
isn't it? That's it,
609
00:37:17,152 --> 00:37:19,735
Boy, I really can't believe
that you guys
610
00:37:19,821 --> 00:37:22,404
are so afraid of appearing stupid
611
00:37:22,490 --> 00:37:25,449
that you'll ignore the only
possible way of nailing him!
612
00:37:25,493 --> 00:37:28,736
You listen, and you listen good,
613
00:37:28,830 --> 00:37:30,412
We'll handle this by ourselves,
614
00:37:30,498 --> 00:37:33,081
and without
undue public observation,
615
00:37:33,168 --> 00:37:35,248
No undue public observation?
You've blown it already!
616
00:37:35,336 --> 00:37:37,419
Look what's appeared
in my paper today,
617
00:37:37,505 --> 00:37:39,817
People are going to be calling
for a grand jury investigation,
618
00:37:39,841 --> 00:37:42,128
You can't stop the rumors!
619
00:37:42,177 --> 00:37:44,169
Sit down!
620
00:37:50,310 --> 00:37:53,269
I don't care what's
been printed in the newspapers,
621
00:37:53,354 --> 00:37:56,017
This man is still classified
as an ordinary maniac,
622
00:37:56,107 --> 00:37:58,975
and he'll be settled
by standard police procedures,
623
00:37:59,027 --> 00:38:02,145
And you'd better start
cooperating with that fact,
624
00:38:02,238 --> 00:38:05,356
or you're going to get your
pushy tushy kicked out of town,
625
00:38:05,450 --> 00:38:06,486
You dig?
626
00:38:06,576 --> 00:38:08,613
Yes, sir, I dig,
627
00:38:09,996 --> 00:38:12,033
But just remember
the next time you blow it
628
00:38:12,123 --> 00:38:14,615
who's got the answers... sir,
629
00:38:16,878 --> 00:38:18,210
All right, Ed,
630
00:38:18,296 --> 00:38:20,709
Let's get on with it,
What have you got?
631
00:38:21,800 --> 00:38:26,511
Our two departments combined
have 650 men on full-time duty,
632
00:38:26,554 --> 00:38:27,715
All leaves are canceled,
633
00:38:27,806 --> 00:38:30,389
and everyone's working
a 16-hour day,
634
00:38:30,475 --> 00:38:33,559
Our chopper is going
from dusk to dawn,
635
00:38:33,645 --> 00:38:37,730
We've got unmarked cars patrolling
the Casino Center and the Strip,
636
00:38:37,816 --> 00:38:39,057
All roads are blocked,
637
00:38:39,150 --> 00:38:41,392
and we're receiving
complete cooperation
638
00:38:41,486 --> 00:38:43,819
from the Highway Patrol
and the Jeep Posse,
639
00:38:44,823 --> 00:38:46,564
- You got it?
- Got it,
640
00:38:46,658 --> 00:38:48,069
Repeat,
641
00:38:48,159 --> 00:38:50,242
What did I say?
642
00:38:50,328 --> 00:38:54,368
Show every real estate agent in town
the picture of this guy's puss,
643
00:38:54,457 --> 00:38:57,200
and ask 'em if they sold a house
to anybody that looks like him,
644
00:38:57,252 --> 00:38:59,209
Good boy, You got it,
Now get going,
645
00:38:59,254 --> 00:39:02,543
Now, wait a minute,
Wait till I lose this last dollar,
646
00:39:03,591 --> 00:39:07,380
Mickey, has the idea of winning
ever occurred to you?
647
00:39:09,931 --> 00:39:11,092
Winning?
648
00:39:15,770 --> 00:39:17,557
Oh, boy, oh, boy,
649
00:39:17,605 --> 00:39:19,221
You spoke,
650
00:39:20,775 --> 00:39:24,735
You know, I have a very strange,
unhappy feeling
651
00:39:24,779 --> 00:39:27,738
that the police are never
going to catch this murderer,
652
00:39:30,118 --> 00:39:32,405
I also have another
very unhappy feeling,
653
00:39:32,495 --> 00:39:33,576
Which is?
654
00:39:33,621 --> 00:39:36,409
This case may be even bigger
than I thought it was,
655
00:39:36,499 --> 00:39:37,740
Bigger?
656
00:39:37,792 --> 00:39:39,249
Stranger, then,
657
00:39:40,503 --> 00:39:43,917
I've seen a lot of weird things
in my life, love,
658
00:39:44,966 --> 00:39:49,552
I have never,
ever seen anything like this,
659
00:39:50,972 --> 00:39:53,806
You don't tell me that
you're finally going to believe...
660
00:39:55,310 --> 00:39:56,767
I don't even want to think about it,
661
00:39:58,855 --> 00:40:01,268
Car 14, check out the report
on the two ladies
662
00:40:01,316 --> 00:40:03,273
downtown on Casino Drive.
663
00:40:03,318 --> 00:40:07,278
Code 10-33, code 10-33.
All units, all units.
664
00:40:07,322 --> 00:40:09,154
Janos Skorzeny spotted
665
00:40:09,198 --> 00:40:12,032
in 1969 green,
unpaneled station wagon,
666
00:40:12,118 --> 00:40:14,326
intersection Oakey and Houssels.
667
00:40:14,412 --> 00:40:15,573
I.D. confirmed.
668
00:40:23,796 --> 00:40:25,958
Positive visual contact made.
669
00:40:26,007 --> 00:40:29,045
Units 7 and 8, seal off
Rexford and Houssels at Oakey.
670
00:40:29,135 --> 00:40:31,127
Repeat, Units 7 and 8.
671
00:40:31,179 --> 00:40:34,138
Unit 3, close off Park Paseo
at Las Vegas Boulevard.
672
00:40:34,182 --> 00:40:38,927
Units 4, 6, move north to face
Unit 3 at Park Paseo and 5th.
673
00:40:39,020 --> 00:40:43,264
Unit 5, move up Bracken
to 5th Place.
674
00:40:43,358 --> 00:40:44,815
All units...
675
00:41:33,032 --> 00:41:34,032
Hold it!
676
00:41:40,248 --> 00:41:42,706
Get up, slowly,
677
00:41:59,475 --> 00:42:00,886
Somebody find a light switch!
678
00:42:04,439 --> 00:42:05,896
He's holding Chambers down!
679
00:42:56,157 --> 00:42:58,444
Friday, May 28th, 3: 17 A. m.
680
00:42:58,493 --> 00:43:02,157
Despite the helicopters,
the Highway Patrol, the Jeep Posse,
681
00:43:02,246 --> 00:43:05,239
despite the blocking
of every major road and highway,
682
00:43:05,333 --> 00:43:07,825
despite the mass coverage
of Las Vegas
683
00:43:07,919 --> 00:43:11,913
by every available man in both
police and sheriff departments,
684
00:43:12,006 --> 00:43:15,420
Janos Skorzeny was still at large.
685
00:43:22,016 --> 00:43:24,258
The courthouse conference room
had been a scene of chaos
686
00:43:24,352 --> 00:43:25,934
for more than three hours now.
687
00:43:26,020 --> 00:43:28,433
Messages were still flooding in
from every outside unit.
688
00:43:28,523 --> 00:43:31,266
Every available man who had
taken place in the capture attempt
689
00:43:31,359 --> 00:43:32,941
was being debriefed.
690
00:43:33,027 --> 00:43:35,110
At the hospital,
two officers had died
691
00:43:35,196 --> 00:43:37,108
and a third
was hovering on the edge.
692
00:43:37,198 --> 00:43:38,939
Reports on them
were still coming in
693
00:43:39,033 --> 00:43:41,946
as the greatest manhunt
in the history of Las Vegas
694
00:43:42,036 --> 00:43:44,119
continued in vain.
695
00:43:50,545 --> 00:43:53,128
Oh, thanks, Bernie, Yeah,
696
00:43:54,132 --> 00:43:57,876
Well, what are we gonna do?
697
00:43:59,637 --> 00:44:03,051
Now are you willing to listen
to my insane ideas?
698
00:44:03,141 --> 00:44:04,552
Get out of here!
699
00:44:04,642 --> 00:44:07,680
Hold it, hold it,
You were there, weren't you?
700
00:44:07,770 --> 00:44:09,227
Yes,
701
00:44:09,272 --> 00:44:10,934
Every man we've questioned insists
702
00:44:11,023 --> 00:44:14,892
not only that Skorzeny was
possessed of incredible strength,
703
00:44:14,944 --> 00:44:17,527
but that he was shot
more than once
704
00:44:17,572 --> 00:44:19,234
during the capture attempt,
705
00:44:19,323 --> 00:44:21,235
I'd say 30, 40 times,
706
00:44:21,325 --> 00:44:23,157
I'm sorry, I'm not buying that,
707
00:44:24,412 --> 00:44:27,075
Captain, you have two choices,
708
00:44:28,499 --> 00:44:30,957
Either he was shot,
709
00:44:31,043 --> 00:44:33,751
or your entire police department
is blind,
710
00:44:33,838 --> 00:44:35,170
Ed, let's admit it,
711
00:44:35,256 --> 00:44:37,669
We had the man, had him cornered,
and we couldn't hold him,
712
00:44:37,758 --> 00:44:41,047
Let Kolchak have his say,
713
00:44:42,346 --> 00:44:44,087
Before I do,
714
00:44:44,182 --> 00:44:46,765
is it agreed that
in return for my help
715
00:44:46,851 --> 00:44:49,935
you will grant me
the exclusive rights
716
00:44:50,021 --> 00:44:52,013
to the entire story?
717
00:44:56,611 --> 00:44:59,228
Let's say it's agreeable if
718
00:44:59,280 --> 00:45:03,240
we decide to follow your suggestions
regarding the suspect,
719
00:45:03,326 --> 00:45:05,818
Fine, because if you don't
follow my suggestions,
720
00:45:05,912 --> 00:45:08,279
you're going to be chasing
your suspect till doomsday!
721
00:45:08,372 --> 00:45:11,456
Just get on with it,
722
00:45:11,542 --> 00:45:13,454
Of course,
723
00:45:30,978 --> 00:45:36,394
Each man in the field
is to be issued one of these...
724
00:45:37,652 --> 00:45:39,769
to be carried in his pocket,
725
00:45:41,989 --> 00:45:44,276
- This, gentlemen...
- Where'd you get that?
726
00:45:44,325 --> 00:45:47,033
I have a friend who's got
a furniture repair store,
727
00:45:47,119 --> 00:45:48,576
I woke him up and had him make it,
728
00:45:48,663 --> 00:45:51,246
Each man in the field
is to be issued one of these
729
00:45:51,332 --> 00:45:53,164
and one of these,
730
00:45:53,251 --> 00:45:58,292
Are you suggesting that we pound
one of these into Skorzeny's chest?
731
00:45:58,339 --> 00:46:00,626
No, into his heart,
732
00:46:03,010 --> 00:46:05,377
There's a legal phrase for that,
733
00:46:05,471 --> 00:46:09,181
You might have run into it once
or twice in your broad experience,
734
00:46:09,267 --> 00:46:11,725
It's called premeditated murder,
735
00:46:12,812 --> 00:46:14,724
It's the only way
you're going to stop him,
736
00:46:14,814 --> 00:46:17,397
You heard your own men,
Can they all be wrong?
737
00:46:17,483 --> 00:46:23,946
You can stop your nighttime chases
from now on, too, gentlemen,
738
00:46:24,031 --> 00:46:26,899
The only hope you have
is to spot Skorzeny
739
00:46:26,993 --> 00:46:28,905
and then track him back
to where he lives
740
00:46:28,995 --> 00:46:31,829
and wait until sunrise
before finishing him off,
741
00:46:31,872 --> 00:46:35,991
He's only vulnerable during the day,
At night he's much too strong,
742
00:46:36,043 --> 00:46:38,535
Yes, gentlemen,
I hate to say this...
743
00:46:41,173 --> 00:46:45,759
but it looks as if we have
a real, live vampire on our hands,
744
00:46:56,439 --> 00:46:57,725
- Ed,
- Yes, sir,
745
00:46:57,773 --> 00:46:59,059
- Warren,
- Yeah,
746
00:47:01,944 --> 00:47:04,186
Tom, I'd like to be
in on this, too,
747
00:47:22,798 --> 00:47:25,381
Okay, you've
got yourself a deal,
748
00:47:25,468 --> 00:47:27,334
- Conditional,
- What's that?
749
00:47:27,428 --> 00:47:30,387
Butcher here will issue
the crosses, the mallets, the stakes,
750
00:47:30,473 --> 00:47:34,763
The one thing he won't do is depart
from established police procedures,
751
00:47:34,810 --> 00:47:38,224
If feasible, Skorzeny is to be
taken alive and held for trial,
752
00:47:38,272 --> 00:47:39,479
Trial?!
753
00:47:39,565 --> 00:47:41,978
That's right, trial, Trial,
754
00:47:43,277 --> 00:47:45,269
All right, In return for what?
755
00:47:45,321 --> 00:47:47,278
You'll get
the exclusive rights to the story...
756
00:47:47,323 --> 00:47:50,407
when the blackout is lifted,
757
00:47:50,493 --> 00:47:51,950
Any other conditions?
758
00:47:51,994 --> 00:47:53,405
- One more,
- What's that?
759
00:47:53,454 --> 00:47:57,494
If it turns out you're wrong,
you're to be out of town in 12 hours,
760
00:47:57,583 --> 00:47:59,700
Take it or leave it,
761
00:48:06,842 --> 00:48:08,799
All right, I'll take it,
762
00:48:12,306 --> 00:48:14,389
Because I know I'm right,
763
00:48:15,976 --> 00:48:18,434
And you know I'm right,
764
00:48:20,648 --> 00:48:22,139
Right,
765
00:48:22,233 --> 00:48:23,233
Ciao.
766
00:48:39,959 --> 00:48:42,042
I'll take Manhattan,
767
00:48:42,128 --> 00:48:46,418
the Bronx,
and Staten Island, too,
768
00:48:46,507 --> 00:48:48,590
Watch out, you great big
wonderful Big Apple,
769
00:48:48,676 --> 00:48:50,417
Kolchak's coming back,
770
00:48:52,179 --> 00:48:53,636
Yeah!
771
00:49:23,043 --> 00:49:26,377
Kolchak! It's me, Crawford!
772
00:49:26,464 --> 00:49:29,172
What are you doing driving off
with me in the backseat?
773
00:49:29,216 --> 00:49:31,048
What are you doing
in my backseat?
774
00:49:31,135 --> 00:49:32,626
I wanted to talk to you,
775
00:49:32,720 --> 00:49:34,382
I saw your car parked here,
776
00:49:34,472 --> 00:49:36,555
so I got in to wait for you
and I got sleepy,
777
00:49:36,640 --> 00:49:37,972
You got sleepy!
778
00:49:38,976 --> 00:49:40,433
Hey!
779
00:49:40,519 --> 00:49:42,226
I think I found the house,
780
00:49:49,153 --> 00:49:51,065
I told Crawford
to give me 30 minutes
781
00:49:51,155 --> 00:49:53,067
before telling Jenks where I was.
782
00:49:53,115 --> 00:49:55,277
That way I could get to see
the house alone for a while,
783
00:49:55,284 --> 00:49:57,742
and also keep the police
from arriving before dawn,
784
00:49:57,828 --> 00:49:59,911
which I knew they'd do
if they got the chance,
785
00:49:59,997 --> 00:50:01,533
no matter what I told them.
786
00:57:44,336 --> 00:57:45,336
Shelley Forbes?
787
00:57:46,838 --> 00:57:47,954
I'll get us out,
788
00:57:50,425 --> 00:57:54,339
His own private blood bank. Wow.
789
00:59:10,464 --> 00:59:12,581
Hold still, It won't stick,
790
01:04:44,214 --> 01:04:45,671
You think they'll print it?
791
01:04:45,757 --> 01:04:47,965
I know they will,
We've got an agreement,
792
01:04:48,051 --> 01:04:49,508
You look kind of tired,
793
01:04:49,594 --> 01:04:51,586
You want me to drive you
to the office?
794
01:04:51,679 --> 01:04:54,092
Go on, hush-a-bye, will ya?
795
01:04:54,140 --> 01:04:56,553
I want to finish this in time
for the special edition,
796
01:04:59,062 --> 01:05:01,099
Why don't you stop working nights...
797
01:05:01,147 --> 01:05:03,480
Oh, Carl, not that again,
798
01:05:03,525 --> 01:05:06,188
and marry me?
What?
799
01:05:06,277 --> 01:05:09,770
Well, you're a good cooker
and a good kisser,
800
01:05:09,864 --> 01:05:10,864
Why not?
801
01:05:13,910 --> 01:05:16,323
Oh, baby, you're gonna love
New York City,
802
01:05:16,371 --> 01:05:19,330
Honey, after this story hits
the news services with my byline...
803
01:05:19,416 --> 01:05:22,875
- Us, married?
- Yes! Us, married!
804
01:05:25,422 --> 01:05:26,879
Don't look now, baby,
805
01:05:26,965 --> 01:05:29,958
but Kolchak's coming back,
in style!
806
01:05:44,858 --> 01:05:46,099
There you are, Vincenzo,
807
01:05:46,192 --> 01:05:48,104
and if I do say so myself,
it's sensational,
808
01:05:48,194 --> 01:05:49,605
I'm sure it is, Carl,
809
01:05:49,696 --> 01:05:52,439
You're going to put it
in the special edition? With pictures?
810
01:05:52,532 --> 01:05:54,489
And the news services?
811
01:05:54,576 --> 01:05:55,783
Okay, fine,
812
01:05:56,870 --> 01:05:59,157
What's got into you?
You sick or something?
813
01:05:59,205 --> 01:06:01,197
Nothing,
This is all fine, Carl, fine,
814
01:06:01,291 --> 01:06:03,533
Jenks has been trying to reach you,
815
01:06:03,626 --> 01:06:05,242
Yeah? What'd he want?
816
01:06:05,336 --> 01:06:06,952
He wants to see you
at the D.A.'s office,
817
01:06:07,005 --> 01:06:08,997
Why don't you run over there now?
818
01:06:09,048 --> 01:06:10,084
Yeah,
819
01:06:14,554 --> 01:06:16,216
You're one hell of a reporter,
820
01:06:19,893 --> 01:06:20,893
Thank you, sir,
821
01:06:31,362 --> 01:06:33,945
And a bright
"good morning" to all of you,
822
01:06:37,535 --> 01:06:38,867
Bernie, what did you...?
823
01:06:38,912 --> 01:06:40,778
Is your name Carl Kolchak,
824
01:06:40,872 --> 01:06:43,034
and do you reside
in the city of Las Vegas?
825
01:06:43,124 --> 01:06:45,958
You know my name's Carl Kolchak,
What's going on?
826
01:06:46,044 --> 01:06:48,878
You're under arrest
on the charge of murder,
827
01:06:48,922 --> 01:06:50,914
The state requires
that you be informed
828
01:06:51,007 --> 01:06:53,044
that you have the right
to remain silent,
829
01:06:53,134 --> 01:06:55,842
No, Oh, no,
830
01:06:55,929 --> 01:06:59,172
No chance, You're not going to
pull that one on me,
831
01:07:04,229 --> 01:07:07,142
You are under arrest,
832
01:07:23,748 --> 01:07:26,240
All right, Paine, just what kind
of a dirty deal is this?
833
01:07:26,334 --> 01:07:28,496
You have a very short memory,
834
01:07:28,586 --> 01:07:30,748
A few hours ago,
Sheriff Butcher himself
835
01:07:30,838 --> 01:07:32,921
saw you actually pound
a wooden stake
836
01:07:33,007 --> 01:07:35,294
through a man's heart
with this mallet,
837
01:07:35,385 --> 01:07:38,298
A man wanted for questioning...
questioning, mind you,
838
01:07:38,346 --> 01:07:39,837
He hadn't been arrested,
839
01:07:39,931 --> 01:07:41,843
He hadn't even been charged,
840
01:07:41,933 --> 01:07:44,095
You broke up our stakeout,
841
01:07:44,185 --> 01:07:47,098
and after we were kind enough
to invite you to go along,
842
01:07:47,146 --> 01:07:49,638
You just charged in there
in front of us
843
01:07:49,732 --> 01:07:51,268
and killed Janos Skorzeny
844
01:07:51,359 --> 01:07:53,442
before we had a chance
to do anything,
845
01:07:53,528 --> 01:07:55,770
Why, you were even ranting
and raving
846
01:07:55,822 --> 01:07:58,860
about this Skorzeny being
some kind of a vampire,
847
01:07:58,950 --> 01:08:01,909
and you had to save the world,
848
01:08:04,080 --> 01:08:06,697
And that, Mr. Kolchak,
is murder one,
849
01:08:06,791 --> 01:08:10,626
If you plead insanity, you might
get lucky, but I promise you this,
850
01:08:10,670 --> 01:08:15,461
you'll be committed to an asylum
for the rest of your life,
851
01:08:20,221 --> 01:08:23,464
I pull your fat out of the fire,
and you do this,
852
01:08:23,516 --> 01:08:27,510
Will you just sit down a minute
and listen to them?
853
01:08:27,604 --> 01:08:29,345
You were there!
854
01:08:30,523 --> 01:08:32,230
Just listen,
855
01:08:36,613 --> 01:08:39,447
Now, this is your story, Kolchak,
856
01:08:39,532 --> 01:08:41,068
It's already being printed,
857
01:08:42,118 --> 01:08:44,030
"This morning
shortly before sunrise,
858
01:08:44,078 --> 01:08:45,410
"Las Vegas Sheriff's deputies
859
01:08:45,496 --> 01:08:48,284
"under the command
of Sheriff Warren A, Butcher, 45,
860
01:08:48,374 --> 01:08:50,957
"surrounded the home
of Janos Skorzeny,
861
01:08:51,044 --> 01:08:52,876
"a fugitive
from a federal warrant,
862
01:08:52,920 --> 01:08:55,833
and, in a pitched gun battle,
were forced to kill him,".
863
01:08:55,882 --> 01:08:58,044
Never, You'll never
get away with it,
864
01:08:58,134 --> 01:09:01,218
- What's to stop me...?
- You're going to stop yourself,
865
01:09:02,305 --> 01:09:05,423
Because if you open your mouth,
we'll find you,
866
01:09:05,516 --> 01:09:07,678
bring you back,
use this warrant,
867
01:09:07,727 --> 01:09:10,936
and put you away forever,
868
01:09:21,449 --> 01:09:22,860
Pick 'em up, Kolchak,
869
01:09:24,285 --> 01:09:27,153
Pick 'em up
and get out of town, Now,
870
01:09:27,246 --> 01:09:29,363
We'll take care
of your back rent,
871
01:09:31,084 --> 01:09:32,450
I want to call Gail,
872
01:09:32,543 --> 01:09:34,330
She's not there, Carl,
873
01:09:34,420 --> 01:09:36,787
What have you done with her?
874
01:09:36,881 --> 01:09:37,881
Nothing,
875
01:09:37,924 --> 01:09:40,837
We just asked
the young lady if she'd be
876
01:09:40,927 --> 01:09:42,884
good enough to leave town,
877
01:09:45,890 --> 01:09:49,008
She's an undesirable element,
Kolchak,
878
01:09:49,102 --> 01:09:52,266
and we don't want
undesirable elements in Las Vegas,
879
01:10:12,959 --> 01:10:15,042
There's nothing I can do,
880
01:10:18,589 --> 01:10:21,332
You let me know
where you end up, huh?
881
01:10:23,302 --> 01:10:25,259
Yeah, sure, I'll keep in touch,
882
01:10:41,571 --> 01:10:43,654
So all the loose ends
have been gathered together
883
01:10:43,740 --> 01:10:45,322
and tied into a pretty knot,
884
01:10:45,408 --> 01:10:48,321
right around the neck of guess who.
885
01:10:48,411 --> 01:10:51,825
After I left town, I began putting
notices in the personal columns
886
01:10:51,914 --> 01:10:54,657
of newspapers
from San Francisco to St. Louis.
887
01:10:54,751 --> 01:10:56,834
Until I ran out of money, that is.
888
01:10:56,919 --> 01:10:59,582
So far, I've received no answers,
889
01:10:59,672 --> 01:11:01,004
but I'll keep trying
890
01:11:01,090 --> 01:11:04,083
even though I don't think
I'll ever find Gail Foster again.
891
01:11:04,177 --> 01:11:06,419
Maybe it's just as well.
892
01:11:07,597 --> 01:11:09,338
So that's it.
The book's finished.
893
01:11:09,432 --> 01:11:11,845
And now you'll have to
judge for yourself.
894
01:11:11,934 --> 01:11:13,800
I must warn you, however,
895
01:11:13,853 --> 01:11:15,810
if you try to verify this account,
896
01:11:15,855 --> 01:11:17,721
you will find it quite impossible.
897
01:11:17,815 --> 01:11:19,431
Item... in Washington, D. C.,
898
01:11:19,525 --> 01:11:21,517
there is no longer a file
listing the suspect
899
01:11:21,611 --> 01:11:24,979
under his true name
or any of his alleged aliases.
900
01:11:25,031 --> 01:11:28,695
Item... in Las Vegas,
all of those who were involved
901
01:11:28,785 --> 01:11:31,152
have either left town,
aren't talking,
902
01:11:31,204 --> 01:11:33,321
or are dead.
903
01:11:33,372 --> 01:11:36,615
I haven't had a decent night's sleep
since all this happened,
904
01:11:36,709 --> 01:11:39,998
and now you might find it
difficult, too,
905
01:11:40,046 --> 01:11:44,211
because there is still one fact
that cannot be buried.
906
01:11:45,218 --> 01:11:47,835
After the death of Janos Skorzeny,
907
01:11:47,887 --> 01:11:50,095
he and all of his victims
908
01:11:50,181 --> 01:11:52,468
were immediately cremated.
909
01:11:52,558 --> 01:11:53,890
Why?
910
01:11:55,144 --> 01:11:56,680
Remember the legend?
911
01:11:56,729 --> 01:12:00,348
All those who die
from the bite of the vampire
912
01:12:00,441 --> 01:12:02,728
will return as a vampire
913
01:12:02,777 --> 01:12:04,939
unless destroyed first.
914
01:12:06,239 --> 01:12:09,698
So think about it, and try to
tell yourself, wherever you may be,
915
01:12:09,784 --> 01:12:13,027
in the quiet of your home,
in the safety of your bed,
916
01:12:13,079 --> 01:12:17,198
try to tell yourself,
"It couldn't happen here."
917
01:12:18,305 --> 01:13:18,461
