Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:20,854 --> 00:00:22,287
Chapter One.
2
00:00:22,355 --> 00:00:25,722
This is the story behind one of
the greatest manhunts in history.
3
00:00:25,792 --> 00:00:28,454
Maybe you read about it,
or what they let you read about it,
4
00:00:28,528 --> 00:00:32,294
probably as some minor item
buried on the back page.
5
00:00:32,365 --> 00:00:34,265
However,
what happened in that city
6
00:00:34,334 --> 00:00:37,963
between May 16th and May 28th
of this year was so incredible
7
00:00:38,038 --> 00:00:40,302
that to this day
the facts have been suppressed
8
00:00:40,373 --> 00:00:43,865
in a massive effort to save certain
political careers from disaster
9
00:00:43,943 --> 00:00:46,878
and law enforcement officials
from embarrassment.
10
00:00:48,048 --> 00:00:52,314
This will be the last time I will ever
discuss these events with anyone,
11
00:00:52,385 --> 00:00:54,979
so when you have finished
this bizarre account,
12
00:00:55,055 --> 00:00:57,148
judge for yourself its believability,
13
00:00:57,223 --> 00:01:00,420
and then try to tell yourself,
wherever you may be,
14
00:01:00,493 --> 00:01:02,654
"It couldn't happen here. "
15
00:01:08,668 --> 00:01:09,930
Sunday, May 16th.
16
00:01:10,003 --> 00:01:11,937
At approximately 2:30 a. m.,
17
00:01:12,005 --> 00:01:14,132
Cheryl Hughes was standing
at the intersection
18
00:01:14,207 --> 00:01:16,437
of Casino Center
and Fremont Street
19
00:01:16,509 --> 00:01:18,670
waiting for a girlfriend
to give her a lift home.
20
00:01:24,884 --> 00:01:26,579
Cheryl Hughes was 23,
21
00:01:26,653 --> 00:01:28,883
5 feet 51/2 inches tall,
22
00:01:28,955 --> 00:01:30,286
118 pounds,
23
00:01:30,356 --> 00:01:32,916
blonde hair,
light brown eyes,
24
00:01:32,992 --> 00:01:36,393
swing shift change girl
at the Gold Dust Saloon.
25
00:01:37,530 --> 00:01:40,465
Cheryl Hughes,
tired and hungry,
26
00:01:40,533 --> 00:01:42,831
but just mad enough
to walk the eight blocks
27
00:01:42,902 --> 00:01:46,736
to her small frame house
off the corner of 9th and Bridger.
28
00:01:50,710 --> 00:01:54,305
Cheryl Hughes.
En route to her doom.
29
00:02:52,872 --> 00:02:53,964
That's odd,
30
00:03:07,153 --> 00:03:09,883
No evidence of
dependent lividity, either,
31
00:03:11,024 --> 00:03:12,889
Peel back
the chest flap, please,
32
00:03:16,663 --> 00:03:17,891
This should do it,
33
00:03:20,833 --> 00:03:22,425
It's incredible,
34
00:03:25,538 --> 00:03:28,439
Begin the gross work
on internal organs,
35
00:03:28,508 --> 00:03:30,499
I'm going to phone
the district attorney,
36
00:03:32,011 --> 00:03:34,275
And don't talk about this,
to anyone,
37
00:03:43,189 --> 00:03:46,625
I came into it two days later,
called back 97 miles
38
00:03:46,693 --> 00:03:49,287
from the first vacation
I had had in 21/2 years
39
00:03:49,362 --> 00:03:52,627
because the story is so big
no one else can handle it,
40
00:03:52,699 --> 00:03:54,792
according to our lovable
managing editor.
41
00:03:54,867 --> 00:03:58,997
Rumor has it that the day
Anthony Albert Vincenzo was born,
42
00:03:59,072 --> 00:04:00,562
his father left town.
43
00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:03,666
The story may be apocryphal,
but I believe it.
44
00:04:03,743 --> 00:04:05,574
The only point I wonder about
45
00:04:05,645 --> 00:04:07,943
is why his mother
didn't leave, too.
46
00:04:08,014 --> 00:04:09,481
Good morning, slaves,
47
00:04:17,724 --> 00:04:20,591
- We are not amused,
- Kolchak, you are on it,
48
00:04:20,660 --> 00:04:22,753
A two-day old,
third-rate murder...
49
00:04:22,829 --> 00:04:24,592
- You are on it,
- What about them?
50
00:04:24,664 --> 00:04:25,995
They have other assignments,
51
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:28,797
You're beautiful when you're angry,
52
00:04:28,868 --> 00:04:29,960
Out,
53
00:04:35,742 --> 00:04:39,269
First stop, County General, to see
one of my most reliable spies...
54
00:04:39,345 --> 00:04:40,972
at least, he used to be reliable.
55
00:04:41,047 --> 00:04:42,207
Hello, Carl,
56
00:04:42,282 --> 00:04:45,115
I thought you were disbarred
for malpractice,
57
00:04:45,184 --> 00:04:47,049
I thought we were
rid of you for two weeks,
58
00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:48,485
So did I,
59
00:04:48,554 --> 00:04:51,955
Well, about this
Cheryl Hughes thing...
60
00:04:52,025 --> 00:04:55,290
why does it say "officially undetermined"
under "cause of death"?
61
00:04:55,361 --> 00:04:58,694
- Why don't you ask the coroner?
- Come on, you're my spy here,
62
00:04:58,765 --> 00:05:01,393
Haven't I kept quiet about
all those illegal operations
63
00:05:01,467 --> 00:05:03,435
you've been performing
in closets?
64
00:05:04,470 --> 00:05:07,906
Tell me true, was there anything
unusual about the autopsy?
65
00:05:07,974 --> 00:05:11,341
- No, She lost a lot of blood,
- Some spy,
66
00:05:11,411 --> 00:05:15,142
I'm just a poor doctor that occasionally
takes pity on an aging reporter,
67
00:05:16,215 --> 00:05:17,910
Dr, O'Brien,
Any messages for me?
68
00:05:17,984 --> 00:05:19,918
Sounds like
a Pulitzer Prize story to me,
69
00:05:19,986 --> 00:05:22,955
Second stop,
the Gold Dust Saloon
70
00:05:23,022 --> 00:05:26,924
and a chat with Gail Foster,
one of Cheryl Hughes' fellow workers
71
00:05:26,993 --> 00:05:30,292
and a rather close friend of mine.
72
00:05:30,363 --> 00:05:33,423
Poor Cheryl,
I feel just terrible about it,
73
00:05:33,499 --> 00:05:35,933
If you don't want to talk about it,
you don't have to,
74
00:05:36,002 --> 00:05:37,594
No, I want to help if I can,
75
00:05:37,670 --> 00:05:40,571
You said that she
never had any boyfriends,
76
00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:42,699
No, none that I ever heard of,
77
00:05:42,775 --> 00:05:46,074
She dated once in a while,
but never the same man twice,
78
00:05:46,145 --> 00:05:47,942
I don't think she liked men,
79
00:05:48,014 --> 00:05:49,572
- Yeah?
- Yeah,
80
00:05:49,649 --> 00:05:52,948
She even took karate lessons
in case one got fresh with her,
81
00:05:53,019 --> 00:05:54,850
You mean that she knew karate?
82
00:05:54,921 --> 00:05:57,947
Yeah, Brown belt,
83
00:05:58,024 --> 00:06:00,549
Oh, I see him,
I've got to go, Bye-bye,
84
00:06:01,961 --> 00:06:03,895
In any town
the size of Las Vegas,
85
00:06:03,963 --> 00:06:07,228
the murder of one young woman
hardly causes a ripple.
86
00:06:07,700 --> 00:06:09,895
But then the ripples started.
87
00:06:09,969 --> 00:06:13,666
Thursday, May 20th,
7:02 a. m.
88
00:06:23,816 --> 00:06:24,805
Over there,
89
00:06:24,884 --> 00:06:27,079
I didn't go down,
I couldn't,
90
00:06:27,153 --> 00:06:29,417
Okay, okay,
Don, take his statement,
91
00:06:34,494 --> 00:06:36,962
What took you so long, Kolchak?
92
00:06:38,331 --> 00:06:39,889
I got a flat tire,
93
00:06:52,545 --> 00:06:54,479
Not a footprint in sight,
94
00:06:54,547 --> 00:06:58,313
- Is that physically possible?
- If it happened, it's possible,
95
00:06:58,384 --> 00:07:01,478
- It sure looks like it happened,
- Well, come on,
96
00:07:05,091 --> 00:07:07,889
Bonnie Reynolds, 27,
divorced,
97
00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:10,656
cocktail waitress
at the Harem Room Casino.
98
00:07:20,173 --> 00:07:21,504
Look at her throat!
99
00:07:21,574 --> 00:07:23,439
She must have lost
an awful lot of blood,
100
00:07:24,977 --> 00:07:26,911
Cheryl Hughes lost
a lot of blood, too,
101
00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:29,710
You read that
in the newspapers?
102
00:07:29,882 --> 00:07:31,850
No, I didn't read that
in the newspapers,
103
00:07:32,985 --> 00:07:36,921
This girl lost a lot of blood, Sheriff,
but she didn't lose it here,
104
00:07:41,494 --> 00:07:43,121
Anything?
105
00:07:43,196 --> 00:07:44,595
We found a purse,
106
00:07:44,664 --> 00:07:46,757
There's signs
of a struggle up here,
107
00:07:48,167 --> 00:07:50,032
But nothing in between,
108
00:07:51,103 --> 00:07:52,695
Only our footprints,
109
00:07:58,678 --> 00:08:00,111
What did he do, throw her?
110
00:08:02,715 --> 00:08:06,549
Who said Bonnie Reynolds was thrown
22 feet into that culvert? The coroner?
111
00:08:06,619 --> 00:08:07,916
I haven't heard about it,
112
00:08:07,987 --> 00:08:10,387
Who said this new killing is connected
with the Cheryl Hughes murder?
113
00:08:10,456 --> 00:08:12,890
The police?
Not to me, they haven't,
114
00:08:12,959 --> 00:08:15,257
Who said Cheryl Hughes died
of massive blood loss?
115
00:08:15,328 --> 00:08:16,556
The coroner again?
116
00:08:16,629 --> 00:08:18,722
He hasn't even
turned in his report yet,
117
00:08:18,798 --> 00:08:21,232
And who, may I ask, said that
a super-powerful madman
118
00:08:21,300 --> 00:08:22,733
is running loose in Las Vegas?
119
00:08:22,802 --> 00:08:24,463
You hearing voices, Kolchak?
120
00:08:25,304 --> 00:08:27,067
I did not make up
the facts on this story,
121
00:08:27,139 --> 00:08:28,401
I know you're bored,
122
00:08:28,474 --> 00:08:29,702
Big-time reporter like you,
123
00:08:29,775 --> 00:08:31,766
condemned to the sticks
with us journalistic rubes,
124
00:08:31,844 --> 00:08:34,904
I know you'd like
a big, fat byline on a big, fat story
125
00:08:34,981 --> 00:08:37,415
so you can pay your way
back to a big, fat city job,
126
00:08:37,483 --> 00:08:39,917
but Kolchak,
I expect you to report,
127
00:08:39,986 --> 00:08:41,817
not to come up with fairy tales,
128
00:08:43,155 --> 00:08:44,349
And, Kolchak...
129
00:08:45,424 --> 00:08:46,755
Quit bugging the P. D,
130
00:08:46,826 --> 00:08:48,487
If something turns up,
they'll let us know,
131
00:08:48,561 --> 00:08:50,586
Meanwhile, use your head
and lay off,
132
00:08:50,663 --> 00:08:52,028
Whatever they're up to,
133
00:08:52,098 --> 00:08:54,430
they don't want any help
from amateur bloodhounds like you,
134
00:09:04,644 --> 00:09:07,545
Friday, May 21st, 8:06 a. m.
135
00:09:07,613 --> 00:09:09,877
Apartment of Carol Hanocheck,
136
00:09:09,949 --> 00:09:11,382
swing shift cocktail waitress
137
00:09:11,450 --> 00:09:13,816
in the Bird of Paradise
Show Lounge.
138
00:09:13,886 --> 00:09:16,150
She'd gotten home
around 2: 15 a. m.,
139
00:09:16,222 --> 00:09:18,213
poured herself a glass of milk,
140
00:09:18,291 --> 00:09:21,226
opened the back door
of the kitchen for reasons unknown,
141
00:09:21,294 --> 00:09:23,057
and died like the others...
142
00:09:23,129 --> 00:09:25,063
suddenly, quietly,
143
00:09:25,131 --> 00:09:27,065
without disturbing
her sleeping roommate
144
00:09:27,133 --> 00:09:28,896
only a few feet away.
145
00:09:28,968 --> 00:09:33,234
Something of a pattern had
started to form, and it was ugly.
146
00:09:34,307 --> 00:09:37,299
It was then
that people stopped talking.
147
00:09:37,376 --> 00:09:38,968
Does that surprise you?
148
00:09:39,045 --> 00:09:42,742
Look, you're not the only one
that likes to play detective,
149
00:09:42,815 --> 00:09:46,080
The police, the Sheriff boys,
they all think they're pretty good,
150
00:09:46,152 --> 00:09:48,086
And they don't need you,
151
00:09:48,154 --> 00:09:50,622
You know,
you really make me feel wanted,
152
00:09:51,757 --> 00:09:54,089
We've had three murders
in town, Bernie,
153
00:09:54,160 --> 00:09:56,594
We have one tremendously
strong guy, maybe more,
154
00:09:56,662 --> 00:09:58,596
who goes around
killing young girls,
155
00:09:58,664 --> 00:10:00,825
and they all lost a lot of blood,
156
00:10:01,834 --> 00:10:03,768
You aren't supposed
to know about that,
157
00:10:03,836 --> 00:10:06,737
I'm not supposed to know
about that, And I know it,
158
00:10:06,806 --> 00:10:08,831
What about your people
down at the Bureau?
159
00:10:08,908 --> 00:10:11,274
No, this is nothing for the Bureau
to mess with at this stage,
160
00:10:11,344 --> 00:10:14,279
You could make
some unofficial inquiries for me,
161
00:10:15,715 --> 00:10:16,704
Like?
162
00:10:16,782 --> 00:10:20,445
You could check around the country
and check all the hospitals
163
00:10:20,519 --> 00:10:24,114
and see if any of them
have had corpses recently like ours,
164
00:10:24,190 --> 00:10:25,817
all with a big loss of blood,
165
00:10:25,891 --> 00:10:29,452
You could check all the insane
asylums across the country,
166
00:10:29,528 --> 00:10:33,123
see if they released recently
a nut who thinks he's Count Dracula,
167
00:10:33,199 --> 00:10:35,667
even if he hasn't done
anything to prove it,
168
00:10:35,735 --> 00:10:37,726
Do you believe
in vampires, little boy?
169
00:10:37,803 --> 00:10:39,703
That's funny,
That's very funny,
170
00:10:39,772 --> 00:10:41,399
That's very funny, Bernie,
171
00:10:44,210 --> 00:10:47,145
Are you gonna do it, or sit there
like a cheap goniff guzzling my beer?
172
00:10:48,381 --> 00:10:49,814
I'll think about it, okay?
173
00:10:49,882 --> 00:10:52,680
Meanwhile, I hope
it doesn't disillusion you to know
174
00:10:52,752 --> 00:10:56,313
that the local law enforcement people
go along with your views... somewhat,
175
00:10:56,389 --> 00:10:59,825
At this moment, they're waiting for
a special report from the coroner
176
00:10:59,892 --> 00:11:03,350
and two pathology experts
who were flown up from L, A,P. D,
177
00:11:03,429 --> 00:11:05,590
along with
a small truckload of equipment,
178
00:11:05,665 --> 00:11:07,428
Oh, hi, Marilyn,
how are you?
179
00:11:08,834 --> 00:11:11,428
- I like your luncheon place,
- Yeah,
180
00:11:11,504 --> 00:11:13,438
If you want to hear
that special report,
181
00:11:13,506 --> 00:11:15,838
meet me at the sheriff's office,
Starts at 6:30,
182
00:11:15,908 --> 00:11:17,876
- Hey, thanks,
- Don't thank me, Just be there,
183
00:11:17,943 --> 00:11:19,433
Where are you going?
184
00:11:25,151 --> 00:11:28,416
Mr. Kolchak, telephone please.
Mr. Kolchak.
185
00:11:31,357 --> 00:11:34,849
Carl Kolchak, telephone, please.
Carl Kolchak.
186
00:11:37,363 --> 00:11:38,387
Kolchak,
187
00:11:38,464 --> 00:11:39,453
Hi, Carl,
188
00:11:39,532 --> 00:11:41,864
I heard the Parkway Hospital
was knocked over,
189
00:11:41,934 --> 00:11:44,869
Knocked over for what?
Cash, drugs, equipment, what?
190
00:11:46,038 --> 00:11:47,130
Blood?
191
00:11:47,206 --> 00:11:49,970
That's right,
Every container in the place,
192
00:11:50,042 --> 00:11:51,270
Their entire stock,
193
00:11:51,343 --> 00:11:53,243
What about blood type?
194
00:11:53,312 --> 00:11:55,906
Seems blood type and Rh factor
didn't much matter,
195
00:11:57,516 --> 00:12:00,007
- Can't stop now, See you,
- Yeah, but...
196
00:12:28,247 --> 00:12:30,943
6:30 p. m.,
Clark County Courthouse.
197
00:12:31,016 --> 00:12:32,608
Present in addition to myself
198
00:12:32,685 --> 00:12:34,949
and two incompetents
who called themselves reporters
199
00:12:35,020 --> 00:12:37,614
were Warren Butcher
of the Sheriff's Office,
200
00:12:37,690 --> 00:12:40,625
Thomas Paine
of the District Attorney's Office,
201
00:12:40,693 --> 00:12:44,094
Captain Edward Masterson
of the Las Vegas Police Department,
202
00:12:44,163 --> 00:12:46,131
and old buddy Bernie Jenks.
203
00:12:46,198 --> 00:12:48,564
Holding forth
with his inimitable cool,
204
00:12:48,634 --> 00:12:51,467
Dr. Robert Makurji,
boy coroner.
205
00:12:51,537 --> 00:12:54,938
We found that death in each case
was extremely swift,
206
00:12:55,007 --> 00:12:56,941
coming in something
less than a minute,
207
00:12:57,009 --> 00:13:00,240
After the initial wounds
were inflicted,
208
00:13:00,312 --> 00:13:02,075
the blood was drained
very quickly,
209
00:13:02,148 --> 00:13:04,082
some kind of suction device
being used,
210
00:13:04,150 --> 00:13:07,313
This would explain why no blood
was found anywhere in the victims
211
00:13:07,386 --> 00:13:09,320
or in the areas
they were discovered,
212
00:13:09,388 --> 00:13:11,822
Doctor,
Kolchak, Daily News.
213
00:13:11,891 --> 00:13:15,588
Do you have any idea what
could have made these wounds?
214
00:13:15,661 --> 00:13:19,222
They're not unlike the bite
of a medium-sized dog,
215
00:13:19,298 --> 00:13:20,856
What do you mean, dog?
216
00:13:20,933 --> 00:13:23,367
What are you telling us,
a dog did these murders?
217
00:13:23,435 --> 00:13:26,598
I didn't mean to indicate the wounds
were actually inflicted by a dog,
218
00:13:26,672 --> 00:13:30,108
only that they're similar to those
which might be caused by a dog,
219
00:13:31,177 --> 00:13:33,771
A rather interesting point
is that we found another substance
220
00:13:33,846 --> 00:13:37,543
mixed in with the traces of blood
in the throat wounds, namely saliva,
221
00:13:38,784 --> 00:13:40,115
What do you mean, saliva?
222
00:13:41,187 --> 00:13:43,451
I mean saliva, Sheriff Butcher,
223
00:13:43,522 --> 00:13:45,183
Human saliva,
224
00:13:51,697 --> 00:13:54,131
If Makurji had suggested
that the murders
225
00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:56,634
were committed
by a giant butterfly,
226
00:13:56,702 --> 00:13:58,465
he couldn't have made more sparks.
227
00:14:00,472 --> 00:14:04,067
Now... what do you mean, human?
228
00:14:05,077 --> 00:14:07,602
Are you suggesting
that each of these women
229
00:14:07,680 --> 00:14:10,205
was bitten in the throat
by a man?
230
00:14:10,282 --> 00:14:12,750
At present,
the evidence points that way,
231
00:14:12,818 --> 00:14:16,447
However, I couldn't and wouldn't
hazard a guess as to motivation,
232
00:14:16,522 --> 00:14:18,581
I can only be sure
they each died from shock
233
00:14:18,657 --> 00:14:20,818
induced by massive loss of blood,
234
00:14:20,893 --> 00:14:25,762
Dr, Makurji, is it possible
that he killed these women
235
00:14:25,831 --> 00:14:28,766
by biting them in the throat
for the express purpose
236
00:14:28,834 --> 00:14:30,426
of drinking their blood?
237
00:14:30,502 --> 00:14:33,596
Kolchak, you're here by
the mutual suffrage of us all,
238
00:14:33,672 --> 00:14:35,537
- Sufferance,
- What?
239
00:14:35,608 --> 00:14:36,870
It's "sufferance," Sheriff,
240
00:14:36,942 --> 00:14:39,103
Well, whatever it is,
just shut up!
241
00:14:41,413 --> 00:14:43,278
I'll answer that,
242
00:14:43,349 --> 00:14:46,375
There have been cases of people who,
through some mental derangement,
243
00:14:46,452 --> 00:14:48,943
have come to believe
they were vampires,
244
00:14:49,021 --> 00:14:51,421
In Germany in the 1920s,
there was one fellow
245
00:14:51,490 --> 00:14:53,617
who did use his teeth
to rip out his victims' throats,
246
00:14:53,692 --> 00:14:55,819
We are not going to jump
to any conclusions
247
00:14:55,895 --> 00:14:58,523
about who or what
killed these women,
248
00:14:59,899 --> 00:15:04,893
It is possible, you know, to type
a person's blood from his saliva,
249
00:15:04,970 --> 00:15:08,565
If I were you gentlemen,
I'd look for a very anemic fellow,
250
00:15:08,641 --> 00:15:10,734
possibly with
some rare blood disease,
251
00:15:10,809 --> 00:15:12,902
I don't care what kind of a nut
killed these women,
252
00:15:12,978 --> 00:15:15,071
But I'll tell you this...
he's out there,
253
00:15:15,147 --> 00:15:17,081
and I'll bet he's high on pot
or the hard stuff,
254
00:15:17,149 --> 00:15:19,413
and he's going to kill again
unless he's stopped,
255
00:15:21,654 --> 00:15:25,420
What have your people got
on this Parkway blood theft?
256
00:15:25,491 --> 00:15:28,585
Well, the latest is the nurse said
257
00:15:28,661 --> 00:15:31,459
she saw something funny
out there last night
258
00:15:31,530 --> 00:15:32,929
or early this morning,
259
00:15:32,998 --> 00:15:36,263
Seems that a tall, skinny guy
dressed as an orderly
260
00:15:36,335 --> 00:15:39,498
was nosing around
the refrigerated storage area,
261
00:15:39,571 --> 00:15:41,766
That's where they keep
the blood and the plasma,
262
00:15:41,840 --> 00:15:43,603
She didn't think much of it then,
263
00:15:43,676 --> 00:15:47,942
but later when she spoke
about the guy to the floor super,
264
00:15:48,013 --> 00:15:53,144
she was told that there was
no such tall, skinny guy on duty there,
265
00:15:56,422 --> 00:15:57,912
Description as follows...
266
00:15:57,990 --> 00:16:00,390
white male adult...
267
00:16:01,460 --> 00:16:04,088
6- feet-2 to 6-feet-4, thin,
268
00:16:04,163 --> 00:16:06,723
about 175 pounds
with pale complexion,
269
00:16:06,799 --> 00:16:08,391
Dark hair,
270
00:16:08,467 --> 00:16:10,401
So we start looking for a man,
271
00:16:10,469 --> 00:16:12,903
local resident or,
worse yet, some outsider
272
00:16:12,972 --> 00:16:14,803
who may not even
still be in the area,
273
00:16:14,873 --> 00:16:17,967
We'll check the airport,
the bus terminal, railroad station,
274
00:16:18,043 --> 00:16:20,409
blockade the highways,
and if we're lucky, we'll get him,
275
00:16:20,479 --> 00:16:23,573
if he's stupid enough to still be
hanging around after three crimes,
276
00:16:23,649 --> 00:16:25,116
You got any other suggestions?
277
00:16:25,184 --> 00:16:27,243
Just do it,
All right, let's break this up,
278
00:16:27,319 --> 00:16:30,447
Thank you, Doctor Ma...
Ma...
279
00:16:30,522 --> 00:16:32,012
Thank you, doctor,
280
00:16:32,091 --> 00:16:35,254
Mr. Paine, I shouldn't be
too inclined
281
00:16:35,327 --> 00:16:38,728
to reject Mr. Kolchak's theory
out of hand if I were you,
282
00:16:40,299 --> 00:16:44,668
It is at best highly speculative,
but not altogether unwarranted,
283
00:16:51,243 --> 00:16:54,371
You can throw away that cassette,
284
00:16:54,446 --> 00:16:57,677
Now, this "vampire" stuff
285
00:16:57,750 --> 00:17:00,719
is to stay right in this room,
286
00:17:00,786 --> 00:17:02,720
Until we have
the assailant in custody,
287
00:17:02,788 --> 00:17:06,349
we say nothing about these women
being drained of blood,
288
00:17:06,425 --> 00:17:08,655
There will be no rumors,
no reports in the paper,
289
00:17:08,727 --> 00:17:12,527
The official opinion at this time is that
the cause of death is undetermined,
290
00:17:13,599 --> 00:17:15,499
We don't want to cause a panic,
291
00:17:17,136 --> 00:17:19,696
It's bad for police operations,
It's bad for the people,
292
00:17:21,573 --> 00:17:23,404
And it's bad for business,
293
00:17:25,911 --> 00:17:28,209
Thank you for your cooperation,
294
00:17:30,482 --> 00:17:33,417
Kolchak, I want to have
a talk with you,
295
00:17:33,485 --> 00:17:36,420
Boys, there's no reason
to bother the doctor anymore,
296
00:17:36,488 --> 00:17:39,082
I have a prepared statement
in my office,
297
00:17:39,158 --> 00:17:41,217
You can go back to the lab,
298
00:17:41,293 --> 00:17:44,091
You're becoming a real pest,
299
00:17:44,163 --> 00:17:47,428
I'll have to have a word or two
with Vincenzo about you,
300
00:17:47,499 --> 00:17:50,093
Maybe one of the other boys
at the office
301
00:17:50,169 --> 00:17:52,000
should handle this from here on,
302
00:17:55,174 --> 00:17:57,870
Keep your nose clean, son,
Stay out of other people's business,
303
00:17:57,943 --> 00:17:59,604
It's healthier that way,
304
00:18:05,284 --> 00:18:08,219
Will you watch what you're saying?
You know these guys,
305
00:18:08,287 --> 00:18:10,551
You could find yourself out of a job
and 86'd all over town,
306
00:18:10,622 --> 00:18:12,556
That go for you, too?
307
00:18:12,624 --> 00:18:15,388
Who can talk to you
when you get like this?
308
00:18:15,461 --> 00:18:19,056
Listen, I'll nose around unofficially
for you on anything you bring me,
309
00:18:19,131 --> 00:18:20,393
just between the two of us,
310
00:18:20,466 --> 00:18:23,060
but do me a favor and stay away
from me for a few days,
311
00:18:23,135 --> 00:18:25,069
just for friendship's sake,
312
00:18:30,843 --> 00:18:32,333
Did I say it was a vampire?
313
00:18:32,411 --> 00:18:34,311
What does
your suggested headline say?
314
00:18:34,379 --> 00:18:35,937
The story makes it clear,
315
00:18:36,014 --> 00:18:39,245
"Vampire Killer in Las Vegas,"
question mark, Do I misread?
316
00:18:39,318 --> 00:18:40,910
The story makes it clear,
317
00:18:40,986 --> 00:18:43,580
Do I misread, or did you
use the word "vampire"?
318
00:18:44,656 --> 00:18:47,147
Some screwball
who imagines he's a vampire
319
00:18:47,226 --> 00:18:49,160
is loose in Las Vegas,
and people ought to be told,
320
00:18:49,228 --> 00:18:51,389
If there's a screwball
loose in Las Vegas,
321
00:18:51,463 --> 00:18:52,953
his last name
begins with a "K,"
322
00:18:53,031 --> 00:18:55,591
I've heard about the little scene
you had with the boys downtown,
323
00:18:55,667 --> 00:18:58,101
No vampire stories, clear?
324
00:19:06,778 --> 00:19:10,043
How about a special featurette
with a border of roses...
325
00:19:10,115 --> 00:19:13,209
an interview
with the two girl victims in heaven,
326
00:19:13,285 --> 00:19:15,845
with a celestial choir
in the background,
327
00:19:15,921 --> 00:19:17,479
Out!
328
00:19:24,062 --> 00:19:27,225
I'm sorry,
I guess I fell asleep,
329
00:19:27,299 --> 00:19:28,288
Yes,
330
00:19:28,367 --> 00:19:31,063
What were you saying?
331
00:19:31,136 --> 00:19:34,401
You do great things
for my masculine ego, you know?
332
00:19:34,473 --> 00:19:36,236
Yeah,
333
00:19:36,308 --> 00:19:39,709
Actually, I was saying that
I think that Vincenzo
334
00:19:39,778 --> 00:19:42,576
has the news sense
of a tree stump,
335
00:19:43,815 --> 00:19:47,080
It's got to be one man,
It's got to be,
336
00:19:47,152 --> 00:19:49,416
Big, strong, psychotic,
337
00:19:49,488 --> 00:19:54,255
You're certainly making me very glad
that I work nights,
338
00:19:54,326 --> 00:19:59,161
Well, I told you
to quit working nights, didn't I?
339
00:20:18,317 --> 00:20:20,046
I am forever in your debt, love,
340
00:20:21,820 --> 00:20:23,048
What was that?
341
00:20:24,523 --> 00:20:25,922
The killer's done it again,
342
00:20:25,991 --> 00:20:27,549
Oh, no,
343
00:20:27,626 --> 00:20:31,187
Only this time, he was seen,
344
00:20:54,519 --> 00:20:56,987
I saw him standing over there,
345
00:20:57,055 --> 00:20:59,649
I thought he was kissing her,
346
00:20:59,725 --> 00:21:04,355
Then he turned, and she fell down
over there by the car,
347
00:21:06,498 --> 00:21:08,363
He must have
followed her home,
348
00:21:09,835 --> 00:21:12,395
I'm sorry, I can't,
349
00:21:24,182 --> 00:21:25,581
Victim number four.
350
00:21:25,651 --> 00:21:28,950
Mary Branden, showgirl, 25,
351
00:21:29,021 --> 00:21:33,924
five feet eight inches tall,
125 luscious pounds...
352
00:21:33,992 --> 00:21:37,120
less the weight of
12 pints of blood, of course.
353
00:21:37,195 --> 00:21:39,356
Looks like Bela Lugosi struck again,
354
00:21:40,365 --> 00:21:42,299
Knock it off,
That's her daughter,
355
00:21:45,070 --> 00:21:46,264
Oops,
356
00:21:48,206 --> 00:21:50,299
I'm all right now,
357
00:21:51,643 --> 00:21:54,134
Now, the car he drove away in...
was it new?
358
00:21:54,212 --> 00:21:55,474
No,
359
00:21:55,547 --> 00:21:59,142
It was a few years old, I think,
360
00:21:59,217 --> 00:22:00,912
It was a maroon coupe,
361
00:22:00,986 --> 00:22:02,214
I'll call it in,
362
00:22:02,287 --> 00:22:04,812
Barney, may I, uh..?
363
00:22:04,890 --> 00:22:07,085
Yeah, but take it easy,
364
00:22:07,159 --> 00:22:10,560
I'm sorry, ma'am,
Kolchak, the Daily News.
365
00:22:11,596 --> 00:22:13,826
That was your daughter?
366
00:22:14,966 --> 00:22:17,935
My best contact in Las Vegas
has always been Helen O'Brien,
367
00:22:18,003 --> 00:22:20,801
chief switchboard operator
at the county courthouse.
368
00:22:20,872 --> 00:22:22,601
Hello, adorable,
369
00:22:22,674 --> 00:22:24,938
You're a sadist,
370
00:22:25,010 --> 00:22:26,443
Oh, I could take it back,
371
00:22:26,511 --> 00:22:29,275
Over my dead, plump body,
372
00:22:29,348 --> 00:22:31,111
Listen, you magnificent morsel,
373
00:22:31,183 --> 00:22:33,117
the DMV is
checking on the suspect's car,
374
00:22:33,185 --> 00:22:35,244
You couldn't help me
in that area, could you?
375
00:22:35,320 --> 00:22:36,719
Of course not,
376
00:22:37,856 --> 00:22:39,187
Bribed again,
377
00:22:42,361 --> 00:22:43,350
What?
378
00:22:45,864 --> 00:22:47,923
How'd you like to see
the killer's face?
379
00:24:30,168 --> 00:24:32,295
Sherman Duffy
of the Chicago Globe
380
00:24:32,370 --> 00:24:34,964
once described a reporter
as follows...
381
00:24:35,040 --> 00:24:38,942
socially, he fits in somewhere
between a hooker and a bartender.
382
00:24:39,010 --> 00:24:41,945
Spiritually, he stands
beside Galileo,
383
00:24:42,013 --> 00:24:44,277
because he knows
the world is round.
384
00:24:44,349 --> 00:24:48,217
Not that it does much good
when his editor knows it's flat.
385
00:24:48,720 --> 00:24:50,449
Shelley Forbes
has got to be his fifth victim,
386
00:24:50,522 --> 00:24:52,114
Look at the way
her dog was killed,
387
00:24:52,190 --> 00:24:54,283
- You never give up, do you?
- What do you mean?
388
00:24:54,359 --> 00:24:56,122
I mean this is unacceptable,
389
00:24:56,194 --> 00:24:58,287
I'm very close to firing you,
390
00:24:58,363 --> 00:25:00,388
even though the owner of this paper
has a soft spot in his head
391
00:25:00,465 --> 00:25:02,558
for has-been big city reporters,
392
00:25:04,469 --> 00:25:06,403
I am tired of your pressure,
393
00:25:06,471 --> 00:25:08,405
I am tired of the owner's pressure,
394
00:25:08,473 --> 00:25:11,909
I'm tired of the pressure all around me
to blow this story up on the one hand
395
00:25:11,977 --> 00:25:13,569
and keep it under wraps
on the other,
396
00:25:13,645 --> 00:25:15,613
I am tired of being the middleman,
397
00:25:15,680 --> 00:25:16,977
Do you understand that?
398
00:25:17,148 --> 00:25:18,638
Can you understand that?
399
00:25:20,485 --> 00:25:22,510
What do you want, Vincenzo?
400
00:25:22,587 --> 00:25:24,851
A testimonial from Count Dracula?
401
00:25:24,923 --> 00:25:25,912
Out! Get out!
402
00:25:25,991 --> 00:25:28,687
What is this "Out! Out!
Get out!" game we play?
403
00:25:28,760 --> 00:25:31,092
This nut thinks he is a vampire,
404
00:25:31,162 --> 00:25:33,426
He has killed four,
maybe five women,
405
00:25:33,498 --> 00:25:36,331
He has drained every drop of blood
from every one of them,
406
00:25:36,401 --> 00:25:38,665
Now, that is news, News!
407
00:25:38,737 --> 00:25:40,728
And we are a newspaper!
408
00:25:40,805 --> 00:25:44,002
We are supposed to print news,
not suppress it!
409
00:25:44,075 --> 00:25:46,703
You know darn well why we're
soft-pedaling this thing,
410
00:25:46,778 --> 00:25:48,439
No! Tell me why!
411
00:25:48,513 --> 00:25:51,073
Could it be because
we have been told to?
412
00:25:51,149 --> 00:25:52,946
You are an idiot,
413
00:25:53,018 --> 00:25:55,111
Worse, You're irresponsible,
414
00:25:55,186 --> 00:25:57,677
All these murders mean to you
is a byline,
415
00:25:57,756 --> 00:26:00,054
What difference does it matter
what it means to me?
416
00:26:00,125 --> 00:26:01,888
The point is that
we are suppressing news,
417
00:26:01,960 --> 00:26:03,427
we are withholding information,
418
00:26:03,495 --> 00:26:05,395
Everybody in town
knows what's going on...
419
00:26:05,463 --> 00:26:07,761
the police, the D, A...
the coroner's office,
420
00:26:07,832 --> 00:26:10,392
Every reporter on every newspaper
in Las Vegas knows what's going on,
421
00:26:10,468 --> 00:26:13,232
The only people
who don't know are the people,
422
00:26:13,305 --> 00:26:15,967
At last you got the point,
423
00:26:16,041 --> 00:26:18,373
The people
in Las Vegas don't know,
424
00:26:18,443 --> 00:26:21,071
because the people would
come unglued if they did know,
425
00:26:21,146 --> 00:26:24,115
even more than they're
coming unglued already, Capisce?
426
00:26:24,182 --> 00:26:27,083
Tuesday, May 25th,
7:30 p. m.
427
00:26:27,152 --> 00:26:29,416
Helen O'Brien had told me
428
00:26:29,487 --> 00:26:32,513
that the DMV had come up
with 16 possibles.
429
00:26:32,591 --> 00:26:34,491
All but one had been eliminated.
430
00:26:34,559 --> 00:26:36,754
The car owner's name,
Martin Lubin,
431
00:26:36,828 --> 00:26:39,092
address
on Spring Mountain Road,
432
00:26:39,164 --> 00:26:41,530
name and address both phony.
433
00:26:41,600 --> 00:26:44,899
Name of salesman
who sold car, Fred Hurley.
434
00:26:44,970 --> 00:26:46,733
So I sets him a price,
435
00:26:46,805 --> 00:26:50,332
He don't say nothing,
just stands there looking at me,
436
00:26:54,346 --> 00:26:56,439
How'd you find out about this?
437
00:26:56,514 --> 00:26:58,004
A fat little bird told me about it,
438
00:26:58,083 --> 00:27:00,813
- Just keep your mouth shut,
- Yes, sir,
439
00:27:00,885 --> 00:27:01,874
Okay,
440
00:27:01,953 --> 00:27:06,253
Well, like I said, he just
stands there looking at me,
441
00:27:06,324 --> 00:27:08,383
Then he tells me
the price is too high...
442
00:27:08,460 --> 00:27:10,325
$300 too high,
443
00:27:10,395 --> 00:27:13,387
He keeps staring, as if daring me
to tell him the price is $1200,
444
00:27:13,465 --> 00:27:14,557
Is this the fellow?
445
00:27:14,633 --> 00:27:18,626
Stop doing our job for us,
That's already been established,
446
00:27:18,703 --> 00:27:21,069
You see, I told them
only he had a mustache,
447
00:27:21,139 --> 00:27:23,471
Mustache, Did you
sell him the car?
448
00:27:23,541 --> 00:27:25,406
Well, I started to say no,
449
00:27:25,477 --> 00:27:28,742
but something inside tells me,
"Don't mess with this guy,"
450
00:27:28,813 --> 00:27:31,748
I mean, he's a creep,
with them red eyes and that voice,
451
00:27:31,816 --> 00:27:34,842
He's enough to keep a guy
from working nights,
452
00:27:35,487 --> 00:27:38,923
All my life I've waited
for a story like this, All my life!
453
00:27:38,990 --> 00:27:41,288
When it finally comes,
I can't get it printed,
454
00:27:41,359 --> 00:27:45,523
Do you know
the holes in Mary Branden's neck
455
00:27:45,597 --> 00:27:48,122
were airbrushed out before
they printed the photographs?
456
00:27:49,200 --> 00:27:53,603
If you keep going on like this,
you're going to get fired again,
457
00:27:53,672 --> 00:27:55,936
Let's see...
how many times has it been?
458
00:27:57,008 --> 00:27:58,441
Twice in Washington,
459
00:27:58,510 --> 00:28:00,068
three times in New York,
460
00:28:00,145 --> 00:28:02,010
twice in Chicago,
461
00:28:02,080 --> 00:28:05,982
and once...
or was it twice?... in Boston,
462
00:28:06,918 --> 00:28:07,907
Oh,
463
00:28:09,087 --> 00:28:12,181
I'm becoming extinct
in my own lifetime,
464
00:28:13,992 --> 00:28:15,357
Homo Newshawkus.
465
00:28:15,427 --> 00:28:18,191
Natural habitat,
a pool of sour mash bourbon,
466
00:28:18,263 --> 00:28:20,925
You know, I really ought to
light a candle to Ben Hecht,
467
00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:23,092
Here,
468
00:28:24,169 --> 00:28:26,569
You ought to
quit your job, you know,
469
00:28:26,638 --> 00:28:28,503
And you'll support me?
470
00:28:28,573 --> 00:28:31,565
Well, I...
Come on, honey, I'm serious,
471
00:28:31,643 --> 00:28:34,510
That weirdo's hit five girls,
and they were all night workers,
472
00:28:34,579 --> 00:28:35,773
Five?
473
00:28:35,847 --> 00:28:37,906
Yeah, five,
474
00:28:37,982 --> 00:28:40,075
A girl named Shelley Forbes
is missing,
475
00:28:40,151 --> 00:28:42,415
and I'll bet my bottom dollar
she's victim number five,
476
00:28:43,488 --> 00:28:45,752
You know, you iron a shirt
pretty good there,
477
00:28:47,158 --> 00:28:49,922
I've been doing some thinking,
478
00:28:50,995 --> 00:28:52,929
What do you know about vampires?
479
00:28:52,997 --> 00:28:55,591
Only that they wear dinner suits
480
00:28:55,667 --> 00:28:57,601
and talk
with marbles in their mouth,
481
00:28:57,669 --> 00:28:59,261
Will you please be serious?
482
00:28:59,337 --> 00:29:01,100
Watch my natural habitat there,
483
00:29:06,945 --> 00:29:08,105
Open it,
484
00:29:10,615 --> 00:29:12,606
"Everything You Always Wanted
to Know About Vampires
485
00:29:12,684 --> 00:29:13,878
But Were Afraid to Ask. "
486
00:29:13,952 --> 00:29:16,045
No, you're going to look at it,
487
00:29:16,121 --> 00:29:17,554
Come on, Why?
488
00:29:17,622 --> 00:29:20,386
- What if the killer's a real vampire?
- I've had a very long week,
489
00:29:20,458 --> 00:29:22,551
He's done everything
that's in this book,
490
00:29:22,627 --> 00:29:24,720
You're going to read it,
491
00:29:24,796 --> 00:29:27,458
Yes, all right,
I'm going to read it,
492
00:29:30,969 --> 00:29:33,597
Oh, now, come on,
you're a big, tough reporter,
493
00:29:33,671 --> 00:29:37,232
You can take it, You might even
get a good feature article out of it,
494
00:29:38,243 --> 00:29:39,574
That's it,
495
00:29:41,813 --> 00:29:44,077
"Since the beginning
of man's existence,
496
00:29:44,149 --> 00:29:45,912
"there have been
creatures of the night,
497
00:29:45,984 --> 00:29:48,919
"crazed monsters
that track their bloody prints
498
00:29:48,987 --> 00:29:50,921
"through the pages
of fact and fiction,
499
00:29:50,989 --> 00:29:53,583
"Of them all, the vampire
seems to have accumulated
500
00:29:53,658 --> 00:29:56,593
the largest body
of documentation,"
501
00:30:01,432 --> 00:30:05,095
"By night, the vampire
is virtually indestructible,
502
00:30:05,170 --> 00:30:07,764
"fearing only
the sign of the cross,
503
00:30:07,839 --> 00:30:10,273
"Before daybreak,
he must return to his coffin,
504
00:30:10,341 --> 00:30:14,175
"otherwise he will be destroyed
by the purifying rays of the sun,
505
00:30:14,245 --> 00:30:16,110
"It is then,
while he lies dormant,
506
00:30:16,181 --> 00:30:17,773
"he can be destroyed
507
00:30:17,849 --> 00:30:21,512
by hammering
a wooden stake through his heart,"
508
00:30:25,323 --> 00:30:27,291
According to the legend,
509
00:30:27,358 --> 00:30:30,452
the victim of the vampire
will ultimately rise again
510
00:30:30,528 --> 00:30:32,120
as the living dead,
511
00:30:32,197 --> 00:30:35,462
and must be destroyed
in a similar manner.
512
00:30:35,533 --> 00:30:40,800
From any source available,
the vampire must have blood.
513
00:31:02,927 --> 00:31:05,122
Help! Help!
514
00:31:05,196 --> 00:31:06,686
Someone help!
515
00:31:12,937 --> 00:31:14,734
He's in there,
516
00:31:48,373 --> 00:31:50,637
I was doing double duty
as night editor
517
00:31:50,708 --> 00:31:52,972
when the P.D. squawk box
went crazy
518
00:31:53,044 --> 00:31:56,013
about a wild brawl
at the Old Town Hospital.
519
00:32:54,372 --> 00:32:58,138
Thursday, May 27th,
8: 20 a. m., and things were rolling.
520
00:32:58,209 --> 00:33:00,074
Our morning edition hit the streets
521
00:33:00,144 --> 00:33:02,078
recapping all the action
at the hospital.
522
00:33:02,146 --> 00:33:04,910
The TV people, as usual,
had missed out completely,
523
00:33:04,983 --> 00:33:08,419
and the radio stations were literally
reading our copy on the air.
524
00:33:08,486 --> 00:33:11,080
But now the whole lid
was really blown off.
525
00:33:11,155 --> 00:33:13,783
The maniac had been identified.
526
00:33:16,995 --> 00:33:18,929
Sorry I'm late, I just got these
out of the soup,
527
00:33:22,333 --> 00:33:24,927
Now, here's a rundown
528
00:33:25,003 --> 00:33:27,267
on the Scotland Yard
and the Interpol findings,
529
00:33:27,338 --> 00:33:29,898
Subject... Janos Skorzeny,
530
00:33:29,974 --> 00:33:32,943
Born in Craesti, Rumania, 1899,
531
00:33:33,011 --> 00:33:35,377
Now, wait just a minute,
532
00:33:35,446 --> 00:33:39,143
You trying to tell me this guy
is over 70 years old?
533
00:33:39,217 --> 00:33:42,243
Come on, Bernie, your boys
have come up with the wrong man,
534
00:33:42,320 --> 00:33:43,548
Like hell we have!
535
00:33:43,621 --> 00:33:46,249
These facts have been
triple-checked and confirmed,
536
00:33:46,324 --> 00:33:48,451
I've been up all night,
and I'm pretty tired,
537
00:33:48,526 --> 00:33:50,517
Do you want it or don't you?
538
00:33:50,595 --> 00:33:52,495
Just take it easy,
Let's hear it,
539
00:33:52,563 --> 00:33:54,463
All right,
540
00:33:55,666 --> 00:33:57,964
Skorzeny's father died in 1923,
541
00:33:58,036 --> 00:34:01,164
He left somewhere between
$75 and $100 million,
542
00:34:03,775 --> 00:34:05,436
At this time he began to travel,
543
00:34:05,510 --> 00:34:07,569
and he became known
throughout Eastern Europe
544
00:34:07,645 --> 00:34:09,545
as a big lover of nightlife,
545
00:34:09,614 --> 00:34:13,106
We don't have a lot more
on him before World War II,
546
00:34:13,184 --> 00:34:15,414
Scotland Yard reports
he showed up in England
547
00:34:15,486 --> 00:34:18,046
just in time
for the German blitz,
548
00:34:19,123 --> 00:34:22,251
I'm sure Mr. Kolchak will find
the following facts of interest,
549
00:34:23,361 --> 00:34:27,195
Such formality from a man
who always guzzles my beer.
550
00:34:27,265 --> 00:34:31,099
While in England, he passed
himself off as Dr, Paul Belasco,
551
00:34:31,169 --> 00:34:33,967
specialist in hematology research,
552
00:34:34,038 --> 00:34:36,438
His work involved
freshly killed air raid victims
553
00:34:36,507 --> 00:34:38,873
from various
London emergency rooms,
554
00:34:38,943 --> 00:34:42,606
As a matter of fact,
at his residence in Shafto Court,
555
00:34:42,680 --> 00:34:44,944
he installed several kinds
of sumps, tubs,
556
00:34:45,016 --> 00:34:48,611
and an extremely large
commercial meat freezer,
557
00:34:51,355 --> 00:34:55,621
In 1948, he turned up in Canada,
still as Dr, Belasco,
558
00:34:55,693 --> 00:34:58,127
Further checking
made his presence known
559
00:34:58,196 --> 00:35:00,562
in almost every place
along the U, S, -Canadian border
560
00:35:00,631 --> 00:35:01,893
where rioting and violence
561
00:35:01,966 --> 00:35:04,400
and a number of dead bodies
were found,
562
00:35:04,469 --> 00:35:07,063
We believe he left Canada
for Vegas April 19th
563
00:35:07,138 --> 00:35:10,403
under the name of
Detective Constable Alan Hensley,
564
00:35:10,475 --> 00:35:12,568
Now, because of
his British citizenship,
565
00:35:12,643 --> 00:35:15,237
he is an international fugitive,
566
00:35:15,313 --> 00:35:17,907
so my people
are very interested in him,
567
00:35:17,982 --> 00:35:21,349
This is no longer just a local matter,
568
00:35:22,420 --> 00:35:24,183
Now, gentlemen,
569
00:35:24,255 --> 00:35:27,588
the one constant that has
shown up in all of our reports is
570
00:35:27,658 --> 00:35:29,751
that Skorzeny's travels
have always been accompanied
571
00:35:29,827 --> 00:35:31,920
by a number of unexplained killings,
572
00:35:31,996 --> 00:35:34,328
many of which
have one thing in common...
573
00:35:37,335 --> 00:35:39,633
A massive loss of blood,
574
00:35:40,705 --> 00:35:45,165
So, if Skorzeny is not the vampire
of Mr. Kolchak's theories,
575
00:35:45,243 --> 00:35:47,609
he is certainly the suspect
of multiple homicides
576
00:35:47,678 --> 00:35:49,441
extending back some 30 years,
577
00:35:49,514 --> 00:35:51,778
Mr. Jenks, you seem to be
running this show,
578
00:35:51,849 --> 00:35:53,612
Could I have a minute
to say something?
579
00:35:53,684 --> 00:35:57,950
- You have the floor,
- You keep it short,
580
00:35:59,557 --> 00:36:02,890
I was at the hospital yesterday,
and a lot of things were happening
581
00:36:02,960 --> 00:36:07,056
that you just simply
cannot explain away,
582
00:36:07,131 --> 00:36:11,363
Sheriff, your own men shot at him,
some at point-blank range,
583
00:36:11,435 --> 00:36:13,733
How come it didn't even
slow him down?
584
00:36:13,804 --> 00:36:17,433
How come a man over 70 years old
can outrun a police car?
585
00:36:17,508 --> 00:36:21,035
How come this same man, slugged
in the head, doesn't even bleed?
586
00:36:21,112 --> 00:36:23,410
I saw those gashes in his head,
and whatever it was
587
00:36:23,481 --> 00:36:26,416
that was trickling from those wounds
was clear. It was not blood!
588
00:36:26,484 --> 00:36:29,009
This guy's got a motor mouth,
Can't we shut him up?
589
00:36:29,086 --> 00:36:32,681
No, let him hang himself,
Then we'll finally be rid of him,
590
00:36:32,757 --> 00:36:36,090
So far he has killed four,
probably five women,
591
00:36:36,160 --> 00:36:39,596
The coroner said that
those bite marks on the throat
592
00:36:39,664 --> 00:36:41,256
were made by human teeth,
593
00:36:41,332 --> 00:36:44,927
He practically confirmed the fact
that he actually drank their blood,
594
00:36:45,002 --> 00:36:47,766
Now, wait, Whatever
this Skorzeny may be,
595
00:36:47,838 --> 00:36:50,932
he seems to be functioning
as if he were a vampire,
596
00:36:51,008 --> 00:36:54,273
You can go on operating
as if he were an ordinary man,
597
00:36:54,345 --> 00:36:55,778
That's up to you,
598
00:36:55,846 --> 00:36:58,781
But I know that the only way
you're going to get him
599
00:36:58,849 --> 00:37:00,874
is if you proceed
under the assumption
600
00:37:00,952 --> 00:37:02,749
that he's a real-life vampire!
601
00:37:02,820 --> 00:37:06,119
Now, the research
that I've been able to find...
602
00:37:06,190 --> 00:37:09,057
Wait a minute,
Have you lost your mind?
603
00:37:09,126 --> 00:37:12,391
Can you imagine the total
blind panic this town would be in
604
00:37:12,463 --> 00:37:16,058
if the public were told we were
actually looking for a vampire?
605
00:37:16,133 --> 00:37:18,567
Not to mention
the irreparable damage
606
00:37:18,636 --> 00:37:21,799
it would do to the image
of law enforcement in Vegas,
607
00:37:21,872 --> 00:37:24,067
That's what it's all about,
isn't it? That's it,
608
00:37:24,141 --> 00:37:26,735
Boy, I really can't believe
that you guys
609
00:37:26,811 --> 00:37:29,405
are so afraid of appearing stupid
610
00:37:29,480 --> 00:37:32,449
that you'll ignore the only
possible way of nailing him!
611
00:37:32,516 --> 00:37:35,747
You listen, and you listen good,
612
00:37:35,820 --> 00:37:37,412
We'll handle this by ourselves,
613
00:37:37,488 --> 00:37:40,082
and without
undue public observation,
614
00:37:40,157 --> 00:37:42,250
No undue public observation?
You've blown it already!
615
00:37:42,326 --> 00:37:44,419
Look what's appeared
in my paper today,
616
00:37:44,495 --> 00:37:46,759
People are going to be calling
for a grand jury investigation,
617
00:37:46,831 --> 00:37:49,129
You can't stop the rumors!
618
00:37:49,200 --> 00:37:51,191
Sit down!
619
00:37:57,308 --> 00:38:00,277
I don't care what's
been printed in the newspapers,
620
00:38:00,344 --> 00:38:03,040
This man is still classified
as an ordinary maniac,
621
00:38:03,114 --> 00:38:05,981
and he'll be settled
by standard police procedures,
622
00:38:06,050 --> 00:38:09,178
And you'd better start
cooperating with that fact,
623
00:38:09,253 --> 00:38:12,381
or you're going to get your
pushy tushy kicked out of town,
624
00:38:12,456 --> 00:38:13,514
You dig?
625
00:38:13,591 --> 00:38:15,616
Yes, sir, I dig,
626
00:38:16,994 --> 00:38:19,053
But just remember
the next time you blow it
627
00:38:19,130 --> 00:38:21,621
who's got the answers... sir,
628
00:38:23,901 --> 00:38:25,232
All right, Ed,
629
00:38:25,303 --> 00:38:27,737
Let's get on with it,
What have you got?
630
00:38:28,806 --> 00:38:33,505
Our two departments combined
have 650 men on full-time duty,
631
00:38:33,577 --> 00:38:34,737
All leaves are cancelled,
632
00:38:34,812 --> 00:38:37,406
and everyone's working
a 16-hour day,
633
00:38:37,481 --> 00:38:40,575
Our chopper is going
from dusk to dawn,
634
00:38:40,651 --> 00:38:44,747
We've got unmarked cars patrolling
the Casino Center and the Strip,
635
00:38:44,822 --> 00:38:46,084
All roads are blocked,
636
00:38:46,157 --> 00:38:48,421
and we're receiving
complete cooperation
637
00:38:48,492 --> 00:38:50,824
from the Highway Patrol
and the Jeep Posse,
638
00:38:51,829 --> 00:38:53,592
- You got it?
- Got it,
639
00:38:53,664 --> 00:38:55,097
Repeat,
640
00:38:55,166 --> 00:38:57,259
What did I say?
641
00:38:57,335 --> 00:39:01,362
Show every real estate agent in town
the picture of this guy's puss,
642
00:39:01,439 --> 00:39:04,203
and ask 'em if they sold a house
to anybody that looks like him,
643
00:39:04,275 --> 00:39:06,209
Good boy, You got it,
Now get going,
644
00:39:06,277 --> 00:39:09,542
Now, wait a minute,
Wait till I lose this last dollar,
645
00:39:10,614 --> 00:39:14,380
Mickey, has the idea of winning
ever occurred to you?
646
00:39:16,954 --> 00:39:18,114
Winning?
647
00:39:22,793 --> 00:39:24,556
Oh, boy, oh, boy,
648
00:39:24,628 --> 00:39:26,220
You spoke,
649
00:39:27,798 --> 00:39:31,734
You know, I have a very strange,
unhappy feeling
650
00:39:31,802 --> 00:39:34,737
that the police are never
going to catch this murderer,
651
00:39:37,141 --> 00:39:39,405
I also have another
very unhappy feeling,
652
00:39:39,477 --> 00:39:40,569
Which is?
653
00:39:40,644 --> 00:39:43,408
This case may be even bigger
than I thought it was,
654
00:39:43,481 --> 00:39:44,743
Bigger?
655
00:39:44,815 --> 00:39:46,248
Stranger, then,
656
00:39:47,485 --> 00:39:50,921
I've seen a lot of weird things
in my life, love,
657
00:39:51,989 --> 00:39:56,551
I have never,
ever seen anything like this,
658
00:39:57,995 --> 00:40:00,828
You don't tell me that
you're finally going to believe...
659
00:40:02,333 --> 00:40:03,766
I don't even want to think about it,
660
00:40:05,870 --> 00:40:08,270
Car 14, check out the report
on the two ladies
661
00:40:08,339 --> 00:40:10,273
downtown on Casino Drive.
662
00:40:10,341 --> 00:40:14,277
Code 10-33, code 10-33.
All units, all units.
663
00:40:14,345 --> 00:40:16,142
Janos Skorzeny spotted
664
00:40:16,213 --> 00:40:19,046
in 1969 green,
unpaneled station wagon,
665
00:40:19,116 --> 00:40:21,346
intersection Oakey
and Houssels.
666
00:40:21,419 --> 00:40:22,579
I.D. confirmed.
667
00:40:30,795 --> 00:40:32,956
Positive visual contact made.
668
00:40:33,030 --> 00:40:36,056
Units 7 and 8, seal off
Rexford and Houssels at Oakey.
669
00:40:36,133 --> 00:40:38,124
Repeat, Units 7 and 8.
670
00:40:38,202 --> 00:40:41,137
Unit 3, close off Park Paseo
at Las Vegas Boulevard.
671
00:40:41,205 --> 00:40:45,938
Units 4, 6, move north to face
Unit 3 at Park Paseo and 5th.
672
00:40:46,010 --> 00:40:50,276
Unit 5, move up Bracken
to 5th Place.
673
00:40:50,347 --> 00:40:51,837
All units...
674
00:41:40,030 --> 00:41:41,019
Hold it!
675
00:41:47,271 --> 00:41:49,705
Get up, slowly,
676
00:42:06,490 --> 00:42:07,889
Somebody find a light switch!
677
00:42:11,428 --> 00:42:12,895
He's holding Chambers down!
678
00:43:03,147 --> 00:43:05,445
Friday, May 28th, 3: 17 a. m.
679
00:43:05,516 --> 00:43:09,179
Despite the helicopters,
the Highway Patrol, the Jeep Posse,
680
00:43:09,253 --> 00:43:12,245
despite the blocking
of every major road and highway,
681
00:43:12,323 --> 00:43:14,848
despite the mass coverage
of Las Vegas
682
00:43:14,925 --> 00:43:18,918
by every available man in both
police and sheriff departments,
683
00:43:18,996 --> 00:43:22,432
Janos Skorzeny was still at large.
684
00:43:29,006 --> 00:43:31,270
The courthouse conference room
had been a scene of chaos
685
00:43:31,342 --> 00:43:32,934
for more than three hours now.
686
00:43:33,010 --> 00:43:35,444
Messages were still flooding in
from every outside unit.
687
00:43:35,512 --> 00:43:38,276
Every available man who had
taken place in the capture attempt
688
00:43:38,349 --> 00:43:39,941
was being debriefed.
689
00:43:40,017 --> 00:43:42,110
At the hospital,
two officers had died
690
00:43:42,186 --> 00:43:44,120
and a third
was hovering on the edge.
691
00:43:44,188 --> 00:43:45,951
Reports on them
were still coming in
692
00:43:46,023 --> 00:43:48,958
as the greatest manhunt
in the history of Las Vegas
693
00:43:49,026 --> 00:43:51,119
continued in vain.
694
00:43:57,534 --> 00:44:00,128
Oh, thanks, Bernie, Yeah,
695
00:44:01,138 --> 00:44:04,904
Well, what are we gonna do?
696
00:44:06,644 --> 00:44:10,080
Now are you willing to listen
to my insane ideas?
697
00:44:10,147 --> 00:44:11,580
Get out of here!
698
00:44:11,649 --> 00:44:14,709
Hold it, hold it,
You were there, weren't you?
699
00:44:14,785 --> 00:44:16,218
Yes,
700
00:44:16,286 --> 00:44:17,947
Every man we've questioned insists
701
00:44:18,022 --> 00:44:21,890
not only that Skorzeny was
possessed of incredible strength,
702
00:44:21,959 --> 00:44:24,519
but that he was shot
more than once
703
00:44:24,595 --> 00:44:26,256
during the capture attempt,
704
00:44:26,330 --> 00:44:28,264
I'd say 30, 40 times,
705
00:44:28,332 --> 00:44:30,163
I'm sorry, I'm not buying that,
706
00:44:31,435 --> 00:44:34,097
Captain, you have two choices,
707
00:44:35,506 --> 00:44:37,974
Either he was shot,
708
00:44:38,042 --> 00:44:40,772
or your entire police department
is blind,
709
00:44:40,844 --> 00:44:42,175
Ed, let's admit it,
710
00:44:42,246 --> 00:44:44,680
We had the man, had him cornered,
and we couldn't hold him,
711
00:44:44,748 --> 00:44:48,047
Let Kolchak have his say,
712
00:44:49,353 --> 00:44:51,116
Before I do,
713
00:44:51,188 --> 00:44:53,782
is it agreed that
in return for my help
714
00:44:53,857 --> 00:44:56,951
you will grant me
the exclusive rights
715
00:44:57,027 --> 00:44:59,018
to the entire story?
716
00:45:03,634 --> 00:45:06,228
Let's say it's agreeable if
717
00:45:06,303 --> 00:45:10,262
we decide to follow your suggestions
regarding the suspect,
718
00:45:10,340 --> 00:45:12,831
Fine, because if you don't
follow my suggestions,
719
00:45:12,910 --> 00:45:15,310
you're going to be chasing
your suspect till doomsday!
720
00:45:15,379 --> 00:45:18,473
Just get on with it,
721
00:45:18,549 --> 00:45:20,483
Of course,
722
00:45:38,001 --> 00:45:43,405
Each man in the field
is to be issued one of these...
723
00:45:44,641 --> 00:45:46,768
...to be carried in his pocket,
724
00:45:48,979 --> 00:45:51,277
- This, gentlemen...
- Where'd you get that?
725
00:45:51,348 --> 00:45:54,044
I have a friend who's got
a furniture repair store,
726
00:45:54,118 --> 00:45:55,585
I woke him up and had him make it,
727
00:45:55,652 --> 00:45:58,246
Each man in the field
is to be issued one of these
728
00:45:58,322 --> 00:46:00,187
and one of these,
729
00:46:00,257 --> 00:46:05,285
Are you suggesting that we pound
one of these into Skorzeny's chest?
730
00:46:05,362 --> 00:46:07,626
No, into his heart,
731
00:46:10,000 --> 00:46:12,400
There's a legal phrase for that,
732
00:46:12,469 --> 00:46:16,200
You might have run into it once
or twice in your broad experience,
733
00:46:16,273 --> 00:46:18,741
It's called premeditated murder,
734
00:46:19,810 --> 00:46:21,744
It's the only way
you're going to stop him,
735
00:46:21,812 --> 00:46:24,406
You heard your own men,
Can they all be wrong?
736
00:46:24,481 --> 00:46:30,943
You can stop your nighttime chases
from now on, too, gentlemen,
737
00:46:31,021 --> 00:46:33,922
The only hope you have
is to spot Skorzeny
738
00:46:33,991 --> 00:46:35,925
and then track him back
to where he lives
739
00:46:35,993 --> 00:46:38,826
and wait until sunrise
before finishing him off,
740
00:46:38,896 --> 00:46:42,992
He's only vulnerable during the day,
At night he's much too strong,
741
00:46:43,066 --> 00:46:45,557
Yes, gentlemen,
I hate to say this...
742
00:46:48,172 --> 00:46:52,768
...but it looks as if we have
a real, live vampire on our hands,
743
00:47:03,453 --> 00:47:04,715
- Ed,
- Yes, sir,
744
00:47:04,788 --> 00:47:06,085
- Warren,
- Yeah,
745
00:47:08,959 --> 00:47:11,189
Tom, I'd like to be
in on this, too,
746
00:47:29,813 --> 00:47:32,407
Okay, you've
got yourself a deal,
747
00:47:32,482 --> 00:47:34,347
- Conditional,
- What's that?
748
00:47:34,418 --> 00:47:37,410
Butcher here will issue
the crosses, the mallets, the stakes,
749
00:47:37,487 --> 00:47:41,753
The one thing he won't do is depart
from established police procedures,
750
00:47:41,825 --> 00:47:45,226
If feasible, Skorzeny is to be
taken alive and held for trial,
751
00:47:45,295 --> 00:47:46,489
Trial?!
752
00:47:46,563 --> 00:47:48,997
That's right, trial, Trial,
753
00:47:50,300 --> 00:47:52,268
All right,
In return for what?
754
00:47:52,336 --> 00:47:54,270
You'll get
the exclusive rights to the story...
755
00:47:54,338 --> 00:47:57,432
when the blackout is lifted,
756
00:47:57,507 --> 00:47:58,940
Any other conditions?
757
00:47:59,009 --> 00:48:00,408
- One more,
- What's that?
758
00:48:00,477 --> 00:48:04,504
If it turns out you're wrong,
you're to be out of town in 12 hours,
759
00:48:04,581 --> 00:48:06,708
Take it or leave it,
760
00:48:13,857 --> 00:48:15,825
All right, I'll take it,
761
00:48:19,296 --> 00:48:21,389
Because I know I'm right,
762
00:48:22,966 --> 00:48:25,434
And you know I'm right,
763
00:48:27,638 --> 00:48:29,162
Right,
764
00:48:29,239 --> 00:48:30,228
Ciao.
765
00:48:46,957 --> 00:48:49,050
I'll take Manhattan,
766
00:48:49,126 --> 00:48:53,426
the Bronx,
and Staten Island, too,
767
00:48:53,497 --> 00:48:55,590
Watch out, you great big
wonderful Big Apple,
768
00:48:55,666 --> 00:48:57,429
Kolchak's coming back,
769
00:48:59,169 --> 00:49:00,636
Yeah!
770
00:49:30,067 --> 00:49:33,400
Kolchak! It's me, Crawford!
771
00:49:33,470 --> 00:49:36,166
What are you doing driving off
with me in the backseat?
772
00:49:36,239 --> 00:49:38,070
What are you doing
in my backseat?
773
00:49:38,141 --> 00:49:39,631
I wanted to talk to you,
774
00:49:39,710 --> 00:49:41,405
I saw your car parked here,
775
00:49:41,478 --> 00:49:43,571
so I got in to wait for you
and I got sleepy,
776
00:49:43,647 --> 00:49:44,978
You got sleepy!
777
00:49:45,983 --> 00:49:47,450
Hey!
778
00:49:47,517 --> 00:49:49,212
I think I found the house,
779
00:49:56,159 --> 00:49:58,093
I told Crawford
to give me 30 minutes
780
00:49:58,161 --> 00:50:00,061
before telling Jenks where I was.
781
00:50:00,130 --> 00:50:02,223
That way I could get to see
the house alone for a while,
782
00:50:02,299 --> 00:50:04,767
and also keep the police
from arriving before dawn,
783
00:50:04,835 --> 00:50:06,928
which I knew they'd do
if they got the chance,
784
00:50:07,004 --> 00:50:08,528
no matter what I told them.
785
00:57:51,334 --> 00:57:52,323
Shelley Forbes?
786
00:57:53,837 --> 00:57:54,963
I'll get us out,
787
00:57:57,440 --> 00:58:01,342
His own private blood bank. Wow.
788
00:59:17,487 --> 00:59:19,614
Hold still, It won't stick,
789
01:04:51,220 --> 01:04:52,687
You think they'll print it?
790
01:04:52,755 --> 01:04:54,985
I know they will,
We've got an agreement,
791
01:04:55,057 --> 01:04:56,524
You look kind of tired,
792
01:04:56,592 --> 01:04:58,617
You want me to drive you
to the office?
793
01:04:58,694 --> 01:05:01,094
Go on, hush-a-bye, will ya?
794
01:05:01,163 --> 01:05:03,563
I want to finish this in time
for the special edition,
795
01:05:06,068 --> 01:05:08,093
Why don't you stop working nights...
796
01:05:08,170 --> 01:05:10,468
Oh, Carl, not that again,
797
01:05:10,539 --> 01:05:13,201
...and marry me?
- What?
798
01:05:13,276 --> 01:05:16,803
Well, you're a good cooker
and a good kisser,
799
01:05:16,879 --> 01:05:17,868
Why not?
800
01:05:20,917 --> 01:05:23,317
Oh, baby, you're gonna love
New York City,
801
01:05:23,386 --> 01:05:26,355
Honey, after this story hits
the news services with my byline...
802
01:05:26,422 --> 01:05:29,914
- Us, married?
- Yes! Us, married!
803
01:05:32,428 --> 01:05:33,895
Don't look now, baby,
804
01:05:33,963 --> 01:05:36,955
but Kolchak's coming back,
in style!
805
01:05:51,847 --> 01:05:53,109
There you are, Vincenzo,
806
01:05:53,182 --> 01:05:55,116
and if I do say so myself,
it's sensational,
807
01:05:55,184 --> 01:05:56,617
I'm sure it is, Carl,
808
01:05:56,686 --> 01:05:59,450
You're going to put it
in the special edition? With pictures?
809
01:05:59,522 --> 01:06:01,513
And the news services?
810
01:06:01,590 --> 01:06:02,784
Okay, fine,
811
01:06:03,859 --> 01:06:06,157
What's got into you?
You sick or something?
812
01:06:06,228 --> 01:06:08,219
Nothing,
This is all fine, Carl, fine,
813
01:06:08,297 --> 01:06:10,561
Jenks has been trying to reach you,
814
01:06:10,633 --> 01:06:12,260
Yeah? What'd he want?
815
01:06:12,335 --> 01:06:13,927
He wants to see you
at the D, A,'s office,
816
01:06:14,003 --> 01:06:15,994
Why don't you run over there now?
817
01:06:16,072 --> 01:06:17,096
Yeah,
818
01:06:21,577 --> 01:06:23,238
You're one hell of a reporter,
819
01:06:26,916 --> 01:06:27,905
Thank you, sir,
820
01:06:38,361 --> 01:06:40,955
And a bright
"good morning" to all of you,
821
01:06:44,533 --> 01:06:45,864
Bernie, what did you..?
822
01:06:45,935 --> 01:06:47,800
Is your name Carl Kolchak,
823
01:06:47,870 --> 01:06:50,065
and do you reside
in the city of Las Vegas?
824
01:06:50,139 --> 01:06:52,972
You know my name's Carl Kolchak,
What's going on?
825
01:06:53,042 --> 01:06:55,875
You're under arrest
on the charge of murder,
826
01:06:55,945 --> 01:06:57,936
The state requires
that you be informed
827
01:06:58,014 --> 01:07:00,073
that you have the right
to remain silent,
828
01:07:00,149 --> 01:07:02,845
No, Oh, no,
829
01:07:02,918 --> 01:07:06,183
No chance, You're not going to
pull that one on me,
830
01:07:11,227 --> 01:07:14,162
You are under arrest,
831
01:07:30,746 --> 01:07:33,271
All right, Paine, just what kind
of a dirty deal is this?
832
01:07:33,349 --> 01:07:35,510
You have a very short memory,
833
01:07:35,584 --> 01:07:37,779
A few hours ago,
Sheriff Butcher himself
834
01:07:37,853 --> 01:07:39,946
saw you actually pound
a wooden stake
835
01:07:40,022 --> 01:07:42,320
through a man's heart
with this mallet,
836
01:07:42,391 --> 01:07:45,292
A man wanted for questioning...
questioning, mind you,
837
01:07:45,361 --> 01:07:46,851
He hadn't been arrested,
838
01:07:46,929 --> 01:07:48,863
He hadn't even been charged,
839
01:07:48,931 --> 01:07:51,126
You broke up our stakeout,
840
01:07:51,200 --> 01:07:54,101
and after we were kind enough
to invite you to go along,
841
01:07:54,170 --> 01:07:56,661
You just charged in there
in front of us
842
01:07:56,739 --> 01:07:58,297
and killed Janos Skorzeny
843
01:07:58,374 --> 01:08:00,467
before we had a chance
to do anything,
844
01:08:00,543 --> 01:08:02,773
Why, you were even ranting
and raving
845
01:08:02,845 --> 01:08:05,871
about this Skorzeny being
some kind of a vampire,
846
01:08:05,948 --> 01:08:08,917
and you had to save the world,
847
01:08:11,087 --> 01:08:13,715
And that, Mr. Kolchak,
is murder one,
848
01:08:13,789 --> 01:08:17,623
If you plead insanity, you might
get lucky, but I promise you this,
849
01:08:17,693 --> 01:08:22,460
you'll be committed to an asylum
for the rest of your life,
850
01:08:27,236 --> 01:08:30,467
I pull your fat out of the fire,
and you do this,
851
01:08:30,539 --> 01:08:34,532
Will you just sit down a minute
and listen to them?
852
01:08:34,610 --> 01:08:36,339
You were there!
853
01:08:37,546 --> 01:08:39,241
Just listen,
854
01:08:43,619 --> 01:08:46,452
Now, this is your story, Kolchak,
855
01:08:46,522 --> 01:08:48,114
It's already being printed,
856
01:08:49,125 --> 01:08:51,025
"This morning
shortly before sunrise,
857
01:08:51,093 --> 01:08:52,424
"Las Vegas Sheriff's deputies
858
01:08:52,495 --> 01:08:55,293
"under the command
of Sheriff Warren A, Butcher, 45,
859
01:08:55,364 --> 01:08:57,958
"surrounded the home
of Janos Skorzeny,
860
01:08:58,033 --> 01:08:59,864
"a fugitive
from a federal warrant,
861
01:08:59,935 --> 01:09:02,836
and, in a pitched gun battle,
were forced to kill him,"
862
01:09:02,905 --> 01:09:05,066
Never, You'll never
get away with it,
863
01:09:05,141 --> 01:09:08,235
- What's to stop me..?
- You're going to stop yourself,
864
01:09:09,311 --> 01:09:12,439
Because if you open your mouth,
we'll find you,
865
01:09:12,515 --> 01:09:14,676
bring you back,
use this warrant,
866
01:09:14,750 --> 01:09:17,947
and put you away forever,
867
01:09:28,464 --> 01:09:29,863
Pick 'em up, Kolchak,
868
01:09:31,300 --> 01:09:34,167
Pick 'em up
and get out of town, Now,
869
01:09:34,236 --> 01:09:36,363
Well take care
of your back rent,
870
01:09:38,073 --> 01:09:39,472
I want to call Gail,
871
01:09:39,542 --> 01:09:41,339
She's not there, Carl,
872
01:09:41,410 --> 01:09:43,810
What have you done with her?
873
01:09:43,879 --> 01:09:44,868
Nothing,
874
01:09:44,947 --> 01:09:47,848
We just asked
the young lady if she'd be
875
01:09:47,917 --> 01:09:49,885
good enough to leave town,
876
01:09:52,888 --> 01:09:56,016
She's an undesirable element,
Kolchak,
877
01:09:56,091 --> 01:09:59,288
and we don't want
undesirable elements in Las Vegas,
878
01:10:19,949 --> 01:10:22,042
There's nothing I can do,
879
01:10:25,588 --> 01:10:28,352
You let me know
where you end up, huh?
880
01:10:30,292 --> 01:10:32,283
Yeah, sure,
I'll keep in touch,
881
01:10:48,577 --> 01:10:50,670
So all the loose ends
have been gathered together
882
01:10:50,746 --> 01:10:52,338
and tied into a pretty knot,
883
01:10:52,414 --> 01:10:55,349
right around the neck of guess who.
884
01:10:55,417 --> 01:10:58,853
After I left town, I began putting
notices in the personal columns
885
01:10:58,921 --> 01:11:01,685
of newspapers
from San Francisco to St. Louis.
886
01:11:01,757 --> 01:11:03,850
Until I ran out of money, that is.
887
01:11:03,926 --> 01:11:06,588
So far, I've received no answers,
888
01:11:06,662 --> 01:11:08,027
but I'll keep trying
889
01:11:08,097 --> 01:11:11,089
even though I don't think
I'll ever find Gail Foster again.
890
01:11:11,166 --> 01:11:13,430
Maybe it's just as well.
891
01:11:14,603 --> 01:11:16,366
So that's it.
The book's finished.
892
01:11:16,438 --> 01:11:18,872
And now you'll have to
judge for yourself.
893
01:11:18,941 --> 01:11:20,806
I must warn you, however,
894
01:11:20,876 --> 01:11:22,810
if you try to verify this account,
895
01:11:22,878 --> 01:11:24,743
you will find it quite impossible.
896
01:11:24,813 --> 01:11:26,440
Item... in Washington, D. C.,
897
01:11:26,515 --> 01:11:28,540
there is no longer a file
listing the suspect
898
01:11:28,617 --> 01:11:31,984
under his true name
or any of his alleged aliases.
899
01:11:32,054 --> 01:11:35,717
Item... in Las Vegas,
all of those who were involved
900
01:11:35,791 --> 01:11:38,157
have either left town,
aren't talking,
901
01:11:38,227 --> 01:11:40,320
or are dead.
902
01:11:40,396 --> 01:11:43,627
I haven't had a decent night's sleep
since all this happened,
903
01:11:43,699 --> 01:11:46,998
and now you might find it
difficult, too,
904
01:11:47,069 --> 01:11:51,233
because there is still one fact
that cannot be buried.
905
01:11:52,241 --> 01:11:54,835
After the death of Janos Skorzeny,
906
01:11:54,910 --> 01:11:57,105
he and all of his victims
907
01:11:57,179 --> 01:11:59,477
were immediately cremated.
908
01:11:59,548 --> 01:12:00,913
Why?
909
01:12:02,151 --> 01:12:03,675
Remember the legend?
910
01:12:03,752 --> 01:12:07,381
All those who die
from the bite of the vampire
911
01:12:07,456 --> 01:12:09,720
will return as a vampire
912
01:12:09,792 --> 01:12:11,953
unless destroyed first.
913
01:12:13,262 --> 01:12:16,720
So think about it, and try to
tell yourself, wherever you may be,
914
01:12:16,799 --> 01:12:20,030
in the quiet of your home,
in the safety of your bed,
915
01:12:20,102 --> 01:12:24,232
try to tell yourself,
"It couldn't happen here. "
916
01:12:24,282 --> 01:12:28,832
