- Come on, mister. They're, they're too tight.

And it's just not funny anymore.

- Do you wanna know the trick

to getting the cuffs off?

- No, I'm done with your tricks.

I, I just want to go home.

- Come on. Just answer the question, all right.

There's a trick. Do you wanna know the trick?

- No. I don't wanna know the trick.

I, I don't care about your damn tricks, you sick bastard.

- Do you wanna know the trick?

- All right, already. What's the trick?

- You have to have the key.

- I'm leaving.

- Oh, no.

You only touch me when I say you can touch me.

- Just let me go.

Ta-Take these cuffs off of me, you sick fuck.

- Sick? Is that what you think I am?

What? I played movies for you.

I gave you some drinks. I showed you my best trick.

And all you can call me is sick?

You haven't seen sick yet.

- Don't you know who my father is?

- Don't you think I know who your father is?

My friends in Chicago

control your father, all right?

Your daddy works for my friends.

So no, no, no, no, no, no.

You won't tell anybody anything because if you do,

your father will be at the bottom of Lake Michigan

with concrete blocks on his feet!

- Are you threatening my father?

- You're not really in a position

to ask any questions.

- Get your hands off of me!

Ah, stop, stop, stop!

- I don't normally like to do it this way.

- No. - But in your case,

thought this might be fun.

- Think you'd have air this thing.

- Look at it. It's fucking ancient.

This stuff is great.

You sure you don't wanna try any?

- No, man.

My, ah, pops would kill me if I even went close to drugs.

- But you drink. What's the difference?

- Well, to him there's a big difference.

I mean, booze is legal and drugs aren't.

- Well there was a point in time where booze

was more illegal than drugs.

- Luke, it doesn't matter.

Anyway, what'd you wanna show me way the hell out here?

- Yeah, the barn.

You won't believe your eyes.

- Okay, then show me.

How did you even hear about this place?

- Oh, I heard about it from Gary and Beth.

- Long way from home. - Oh, it'll be worth it.

Don't you worry. - Well, I'm gonna trust you,

but this better be good.

Where?

- Back there behind the wall.

- What am I looking for?

- Go check it out. I'll be right there.

- I don't see anything. - I'm coming.

- Luke, what are you up to?

- That was for Mr. John Wayne Gacy.

Don't fuck with Mr. Gacy.

You've been warned.

- Gacy?

You mean that clown?

- Yeah.

- How much?

- $10.

- $10?

And what else? Huh?

- He, he's giving me payment on my car.

- Not anymore.

Come on, get up, we're going to the cops

and you're gonna tell 'em everything.

Get up!

Come here.

Get up.

Come on, let's go.

Ah, fuck me!

- What are you doing? I, I don't understand.

- You can do that. - What is happening here?

- You just can't come in our house and do that.

- Step back, ma'am. - Stop, stop!

- Johnny, I love you. - What are you doing?

You can't just come to my house like this and take my son!

- Mama, don't let them take Johnny.

- John, John! - Don't let them take him!

- Johnny, Johnny! - What's going on?

What's happening? John, John!

Please don't take my son! - Johnny, I love you!

Come back!

- Wait! - Mama, don't let them

take Johnny! - It's okay, baby.

It's okay. - It's okay.

- John, we're here. We're gonna get you out.

- Johnny, it's gonna be okay. I promise.

- It's okay, baby, it's okay. We love you!

We'll take care of you! - Ah, one in custody.

Heading back to the station. - John, I love you!

Johnny!

There she is.

- Hold on.

This is it.

- Ah.

Oh.

Oh.

- Thanks, Mama.

- Well, thankfully your father died

with some money saved away.

He loved you. Don't you forget that.

- I know it.

- I know he might've been tough on you, but he loved you.

- I destroyed him, Mama.

- You ain't killed your father, John.

That was cirrhosis of the liver.

The doctors even told us that alcohol killed your daddy.

And I don't want you thinking nothing different.

- You know I didn't do anything to that boy, right?

- You're a good boy, John. With a good heart.

I know you didn't do nothing.

Let's just put all that behind us.

Now how about you show me the inside of that house.

- All right. Come on.

Got a lot of work to do. - Oh.

I cannot wait to see the inside.

- I can't wait for you to see it.

- This is so exciting. - Oh, yes, it is.

- Oh, John.

I, I just can't believe this.

- Yep. And you've got your own room.

- My own room in this beautiful house.

- Hey, mister.

Um, mister.

- Yeah, son? - Um, you just moving in?

- Huh. I sure am.

- Ah, okay, um, well I was just wondering

because I do a lot of, um, odd jobs around here,

and I was just wondering if you might need help

moving your stuff into the house?

- What's your name, son? - Bobby.

Bobby Walker.

- It is very nice to meet you, Bobby.

My name is John. John Wayne Gacy.

John Wayne? Never met anyone named John Wayne.

- Yeah. Mama named me after a cowboy.

So, Bobby Walker, how much do you charge for your services?

- 50 cents an hour.

- I'd say there's about four hours worth of work

on the moving the truck.

So tell you what, I'll pay you $4 if you promise to work

twice as hard as you usually do.

- Um, thank you, Mr. Wayne.

I'm sorry, Mr, Mr. Gacy.

- But I wanna see you sweat.

I'm not paying that kind of money if you don't work for it.

- Okay. It's a deal then.

- All right. - Thank you, Mr. Gacy.

- Truck arrives at 1:00 PM.

See you soon, Bobby. All right?

- Well, you certainly are hungry.

- Now slow down there, big boy.

Ah, he really worked you to the bone today, didn't he?

- Ah, um, no, not really.

He just offered me double and I wanted to impress him.

Mm, well, you never know what other work he throws at me.

- Okay, so let me get this straight.

If I pay you more allowance,

you're gonna do more around the house, right?

- Sure. - So who is he, anyway?

- Well, tell us a little bit about him. Where's he from?

I mean, the two of you must have talked a lot today.

- Well, he's, ah, from Iowa,

but he grew up in Chicago, and he wants to start

his own construction business, so he might need me

on the weekends to help him work.

- Hmm. Wow.

An entrepreneur, huh? - Mm-hmm.

- Any kids your age to play with?

- Um, nah, he just lives with his mom and his sister.

- Oh, well, sounds like he's a nice guy.

I mean, if he takes care of his mom like that.

- Don't get any ideas, honey.

- What?

- Your mother is not moving into this house with us.

- Very funny, Howard.

- May I be excused?

- Are you actually gonna leave some food for the rest of us?

- Ah. Okay, Dad, it's all yours.

- Yeah. Get outta here.

- Oh.

- Hey, get back here! - No!

- Where do you think you're going?

- Oh, shit! - You're gonna hurt yourself.

- Ooh! - Yeah, I got ya.

What are you doing?

Oh!

- Come on, Anthony. Don't you wanna play?

Wake up. Ah, pretty please?

Come on.

Mm!

There we go.

It's not so bad, is it?

Come on.

There we go. That's right.

It's not so bad, is it?

Come on. I'm not done yet.

- No, God!

Bobby?

Bob. Hey, you forget something?

- Oh, yeah.

How can I forget my money?

- You all right?

You look like you've seen a ghost.

- Ghost? Well, I'm fine.

- All right.

Goodnight hun.

Thank you, John.

You're gonna love it, Mama.

I got your room made up for you real nice.

You even got a TV across from the bed.

Got his picture on the nightstand.

- You are a good boy, John.

- Bobby, get dressed. We're late.

Hey, you forget already?

We're going camping this weekend.

How could you forget our camping trip, hun?

- Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

That, that's weekend?

- Yeah, silly. It's this weekend.

Now get on up. Pack your bag.

Dad's already got the stuff together.

He's waiting on you to help. Come on.

Get up.

- Yeah, I've been in probably

every state park around here.

- Really? - Oh yeah.

Lots in Wisconsin too.

- It's gonna be a long drive, so...

- Oh yeah, but that's the best part

with the family.

- That's true. - Oh.

- Hey, just, yeah, just set the rest of that stuff there.

- All right. - That's fine.

- There you go. - Thanks, John.

- Yeah. - Really appreciate the help.

- Well, what are neighbors for, right?

- Yeah.

- Hey, sleepy head.

Mr. Gacy's been doing your job for you.

- Sorry, Dad.

- Probably a rough night with the ladies. Right?

So, where's the Walker family going?

- Ah, well, actually, we're headed to-

- Ah, we're going to Chain O'Lake.

- No, we're not.

We're going to Pere Marquette State Park. You know that.

- Well, both places are great, you know.

Ah, Mount Kissimmee though, they have the best fishing.

- Really? - Oh, yeah.

And the hikes at sunset, unbelievable.

- Sounds like you've been there often.

- Oh yeah. Me and my pop used to go there every summer.

- Oh. - It was fantastic.

Oh, man.

You got no fishing poles.

I'm glad to loan your mine.

- Oh no. Come on.

Ah, I wouldn't want to impose.

It's okay. - Come on, no, no, no.

It's not a problem at all. - No, I wouldn't wanna impose.

- Come on, neighbor.

- All right. What, what do you say, Bobby?

Wanna do a little fishing?

- I don't, I don't, um...

- That's a yes right there.

- Yeah. - I'll go grab 'em.

I'll be right back.

- What is wrong with you?

I mean, Chain O'Lakes?

I mean, we've never been there before.

- Dad, that was a diversion and you didn't play along.

- Play along? What are you talking about?

- I, I don't want him knowing where we're going.

- Ah, why?

- I just don't think he should know our personal business.

- All right, Bobby, look, he's our new neighbor.

Is that the way we've taught you to act?

I mean, let's just give Mr. Gacy the benefit of the doubt

and assume that he's just as nice

as everyone else on the block, okay?

- Sure, Dad.

- Hey. Hey.

Don't patronize me, Bobby.

- Hold on.

Come on.

Just, ah, just relax.

I know I have some scotch around.

Watch your step.

One, two. There we go.

All right.

Door.

Come on. Almost there.

And in.

- Okay.

Okay. I'm fine.

I made it out. Not dead.

- Hey Bobby, how you been doing?

- Hey, Mr. Gacy.

I've been good. Yeah.

- I could use your help this week if you got any time.

- Yeah, no, I'm, I'm, I'm busy this week.

I'm, I'm sorry.

- All right. Just let me know when you're available.

- Will do, Mr. Gacy.

- All right. I'll catch you later.

- Ah, Mom, ah, we should, we should,

we should really get going.

- Honey, we haven't even found a gift for Aunt Barbara yet.

And there's a store down there that I know will be perfect.

- Yeah, Mom. I know, it's just, um...

Um, ah, yeah, I have a lot of homework to do

and I really need to get home and finish it.

- Since when do you rush home for homework?

Be patient. It'll only take a minute.

Come on.

Hi, Mr. Gacy.

- Hello, Walker family.

- What are you doing downtown? Get some shopping done?

- Yeah. I actually have plenty to prepare for.

Me and the wife are taking a trip this week.

Huh. I actually had nothing to wear.

So, Bob, how you doing?

- Ah, it's, it's Bobby.

Right? Ah, my dad only calls me Bob.

- Oh, sorry about that, Bobby?

Ah, how's school?

Man of few words, huh?

- Bobby, tell Mr. Gacy about your school project.

- Um, no, I'm, I'm, I'm sure Mr. Gacy does,

doesn't want to hear about my schoolwork.

- No. Please tell me, what are you working on?

- Bobby, what in the world has gotten into you?

Anyway, Bobby's doing a construction project for school.

He's building a model house.

You, um, you do construction, don't you?

- Sure do.

In fact, I just started a company a few months back.

PDM Contractors.

- Bobby, Mr. Gacy could help you with your model house.

What do you say?

- Sure. What do you say, Bob?

Come on over. I'll help you out.

I got lots of tools. I can do drawings.

Whatever you need. - Yeah, no, no, no.

I'm fine right now.

I, ah, it's, but it's practically finished.

- What are you gonna do? Huh?

Well anyways, as I said,

the Mrs. and I are heading out of town,

so if you do need help, better let me know right away.

- Thanks, John.

- By the way, tell that husband of yours,

he's invited to another Jaycees party next week.

Some way, somehow, I'm gonna get that man to join.

- You are just taking this community by storm, aren't you?

You're a busy man.

- I have actually gotta go. So I will catch you folks later.

- Okay, well listen, if we don't see you in the neighborhood

before you go, have a wonderful trip.

- Thank you.

- Bobby, why were you so rude?

- He just rubs me the wrong way.

- He's a nice man. What has he ever done to you?

- There's something about him

- Okay, let's finish shopping. Come on.

- So, what are you looking for tonight?

A blow? Screw?

- Oh, ah, I'm not gay.

- No?

Well what are you then?

- Oh, I'm, I'm a lot of things, but I'm not gay.

- Why are you talking to me?

- Ah, don't know.

I just wanna talk.

- Well, I'm not really in the talking business.

You know, I left my psychology degree in the house.

You got money?

- Yeah, I've got money.

You think I drive downtown without money?

- I'm not questioning you.

How about I get in the car, drive around for a bit,

see what happens?

- Sure. Why not?

- So, where you taking me anyway?

- Oh, I figured I'd take you back to my house.

- Your house? What about your wife?

- Oh no, she's not home.

She's in Duluth visiting her mom.

- Huh.

- So you do any other kind of work,

or is this mainly the only job you do?

- Couple other things I do.

- Well, always looking for big, strong guys.

- No, no. I don't wanna be locked down.

- Tell me, what do you like to do?

- Well, I like to do this kind of stuff in a motel.

- Yeah. This is gonna be so much better.

Go inside, relax, I got drinks.

- Ooh, I could really use a drink.

- We don't need to be driving

all over town for everything.

Just come in here and make yourself at home.

- Okay. But we're gonna be in and out.

- Um, have a seat.

You want something to drink?

- What you got?

- Ah, how's a scotch?

- Sounds good. - Coming right up.

Here you go.

Mm, mm.

- Ooh.

So, what do you say we get started?

- You in a rush? - Well, I'd like to get

a few tricks in at night, you know,

get back on the streets, start making some more cash.

- I don't like to rush, so just relax.

What? - You gotta pay up front.

- How much are you charging me again?

- Well, since I've already spent all this time

playing psychologist, it's 50 for a blow.

- Huh. You said $25.

- So you do remember?

Anyway, that was before I knew I was gonna be

spending all this time with you.

Usually, I'm in and out in like five minutes.

This is really more like a date.

Aw.

Anyway, why, why does your house smell so funny?

- Doesn't smell funny. - It sure does.

Guess your wife ain't doing her job.

- You know what? You sit right here.

I'm gonna go get that money.

So, where'd you say you were from?

- I didn't.

- Well, where are you from?

- My dad was in the military.

From all over.

Probably spent most of my time in Norfolk.

- Where's your daddy now?

- Died in Vietnam.

- Oh, I'm, I'm sorry to hear that.

- Did you go to Nam?

- Oh, no, no, no, no. They didn't want me.

I was too sickly.

I had a condition as a kid.

- What you doing?

What you doing in there?

What the fuck?

Pogo wants to play! - What the hell are you doing?

- You changed the price!

- That was in the car, man. Not in the suburbs.

- Oh yes you did.

You said it was $25 for a blow!

- What's with the clown get up?

- Mm. You know what?

Let's forget about the $25.

Start fresh!

- Ah, let me go!

- Tell me, do you like tricks?

'Cause I've got a trick for you!

- Oh no. I don't like tricks.

I'm good. - Too bad!

- What are you doing to me? Help!

What are you doing to me?

I said I don't like tricks!

- You're doing it anyway!

- You're really disturbed, man!

- There's a trick to getting outta these cuffs.

Do you wanna know what it is?

Do you give up yet? - Yes.

Yes!

I give up!

I give up. What's the trick?

- You have to have the key!

- You're fucked up, man.

- No. We've got business to attend to.

No, no!

No, no!

- This will help you relax.

- What are you doing?

What are you doing? - There we go.

Just sit back and enjoy it.

- What is...

What are you giving me?

Here we go. Just relax.

It'll be over in a minute. Yeah.

Hey kids, gather around. Pogo's here!

Kids of all ages. Come on!

Pogo the Clown is here.

Come on. We'll have some fun, right?

Come on. Oh, don't be scared.

I'm a clown. There's nothing to be afraid of.

I bring fun and joy and laughter to the world.

Come on. We're gonna do magic and balloon animals.

Yeah.

- Mr. Gacy.

- Oh, I'm not Mr. Gacy.

I am Pogo the Clown!

- Yeah, sure thing, Mr. Gacy.

And, um, I'm Captain Kangaroo.

- Bobby, come on, you'll spoil it for the kids.

Have some fun.

- Okay, Pogo.

Um, do you know where your mother is?

Because last I checked, she was in the back of a car

with a bunch of other clowns.

- How dare you fuck with me?

After everything I've done for you,

but you can't control yourself, you little punk!

Oh, Pogo's getting jumpy!

Pogo's getting jumpy.

You know what happens when Pogo gets jumpy?

He's getting jumpy.

You know what happens when Pogo gets jumpy?

He goes....

- Bobby, wait up. - Where are you going?

- Bobby, wait.

- You know, there is something seriously wrong

with that guy.

- What do you mean? - I, I just know.

- What do you mean, you just know?

Like there's something you aren't telling us.

- There's been weird things that have been happening

late at night. - Like what?

- Well, for starters, one night a few months back,

I was in my room and I heard him pull up.

So I opened the blinds and there he was.

- You stayed up all night?

- Sure did. - But what does that prove?

- That that guy never left his house.

- Bobby, he could have left when you weren't looking.

- What, you mean, he just, he just walked out

after Gacy left?

Come on. That doesn't make any sense.

- Well, what are you trying to say?

- Bobby, you've been watching way too many movies.

- I wasn't convinced either,

so I walked out of my house and I, um...

- You went across the street? - I did.

- Did you go inside? - No,

but I hopped the fence and I nearly got myself caught.

- So you snuck into his backyard.

- If you tell anyone, I will make sure

that you never talk again.

- So then what happened to the guy?

- That's my point. I don't know.

He just disappeared and I never saw him again.

- Bobby, I'm sure he left when you weren't looking.

- Jessica, come on, I watched the house all night and day.

He never left once.

- You think he killed him?

- I didn't say that, I said

that he just never left.

- Why didn't you just ask Mr. Gacy?

- Guys.

- Let's go.

- Let's walk back up.

- Such a freak.

- He just killed him right there in front of your eyes?

- What's it like to see someone die?

- It's really, it's not like the movies.

It, it's really sad.

I didn't realize how much it would affect me.

I think about that man all the time,

and he haunts my dreams.

- I thought you thought about girls too?

- I'm being serious here. All right?

I saw a man being murdered and I, I did nothing about it.

- How do you know he's dead?

- He might've just passed out and Gacy took him home.

- Are you going to the police?

- I don't know.

My dad says to always stay outta other people's business.

- Bobby, going to someone's house doesn't seem like

staying out of their business. - Yeah, I know.

- He might already be onto you.

- Yeah. Like remember at the barbecue?

- He was already onto you then.

- What if I go to the police?

- No, no, no. You, you can't do that.

Look it, it's too dangerous.

And they won't believe you anyways.

I mean, look at Gacy.

He's got the old town wrapped around his finger.

And if there's no body, you can't prove anything.

- I feel like you should just mind your own business

and leave him alone.

Who says he won't kill you too?

- Yeah, I know. I'm just gonna lay off for a little bit.

- If anything else happens, you have to go to the police.

- I don't want anything to happen to you.

- You guys promise you won't tell anyone?

- Promise. - Promise.

- All right then. Let's go.

- You guys wanna come over to my house?

- Yeah, you have a swimming pool, right?

- I do, we can all go swimming

and I'm actually kind of hungry, so...

- Yeah, same.

- You guys wanna order food?

- Yeah. That sounds like a good idea.

- You guys see that?

I don't see, what?

Hey, come on.

- Guys, get out of the way, guys!

- Guys, move! Get out of the way!

- Oh my God, he's not stopping!

- Run!

Oh!

- That was your neighbor. Did you see his face?

- Yeah. He looked like he wanted to kill us.

- Guys, we gotta go now.

He's coming back. - He's coming back!

Guys, hurry up! We have to get outta here!

- Let's go!

- He's coming back. - He's coming back!

Guys, hurry up! We gotta go!

Come on! - He's coming back!

- Hurry! - Go, go!

- Come on!

Go!

- Come on! - Faster, faster!

- Oh my God. No.

- Bobby.

What in the world are you doing?

- Mom, I need to talk to you and dad

about something serious. - What could be so serious?

- It's about Gacy. Okay?

- What?

Bobby, honey.

Dammit.

Oh, you're a little fighter, aren't you?

You were supposed to dead, you little ho.

- Please. Please, just let me leave.

- I can't let you leave. Too late now.

Come here.

Come here.

You were supposed to be dead. You weren't honest.

Now you have to pay the price.

- What are you talking about?

- You lied about the price!

Liars have to die!

- I was trying to make some extra money! Please!

- Oh, ah. - Kevin, what the hell

are you doing in my house with dirty clothes on?

- Oh, I'm sorry, I- - Stop!

- I, I was just getting some water to drink.

- And you thought it would be all right to drag dirt

and mud in my home? - Mr. Gacy,

I, I didn't mean any harm.

I would've cleaned up any mess that I made.

- What is up with the trenches?

- Two are complete and I'm starting on the third one now.

- You followed my directions exactly?

- Sure did, I, I dug the first two

east-west of the family room. - It's east-west

under the living room, not the family room!

- Isn't the room with the TV the family room?

- No, that's the living room, dumb ass!

Show me what you did.

- Okay.

- And so I believe that he's hiding

the bodies under his house.

- Bobby, that's ridiculous.

That's absolutely ridiculous.

- Bobby, Mr. Gacy is not a murderer.

Come on. Honey, he's president of the Jaycees.

He works with the Democratic Party.

I mean, he helps all the neighbors for goodness sakes.

- He's Pogo the Clown for God's sakes.

- That, that's it.

- What? That he's a clown?

- No, Dad, it's all a coverup.

He's, he's playing the nice guy so no one actually

pays attention to what he's actually doing.

Please, go to the police with me.

They won't believe me. I'm, I'm, I'm just a kid.

- I understand that,

but you can't go to the police on a hunch.

You have to have proof.

- And sure I do.

I, I saw it with my own eyes.

- What do you mean, you saw it with your own eyes?

- Well, I, I, I watched him take the boys

into the house and they never left.

- But you didn't see anything.

- I, I saw him yelling.

- Well, but you didn't see anything wrong.

- The man never left. - How do you know that?

How do you know that they didn't leave when you fell asleep?

- Or when you were in school?

You don't know.

- You can't just go around accusing people of murder. Bobby,

It's too serious.

- They never leave.

- How do you know that? - You've gotta believe me.

- It's not that we don't believe you,

it's just that we're adults and adults can't go around

accusing other adults of serious crimes without evidence.

Sit down.

Sit down.

All right, look.

How about we keep an eye on him?

Your mom and I'll watch him carefully.

Keep a close eye on what he's up to.

He's just leaving. - No, no, no, no, no.

That's Kevin's car!

- Kevin's car? - I, yeah, ah, Kevin.

The, the, the guy who's helping him,

ah, dig the trenches in the house.

- Okay. Why is he driving Kevin's car?

- Well, because he killed him

and he's dropping his car off somewhere.

- Or maybe he's dropping Kevin's body off somewhere.

- That's right, Dad. Now you're thinking.

- Or maybe Kevin's body's in the trunk.

- How do you think he's planning on getting home

from that so-called dumping site?

Exactly.

- Wow, okay.

You guys are not funny.

- Oh, oh, honey, honey. - Okay.

Come on, buddy. - Come back.

- You gotta look at this

from our perspective. - Bobby.

- Teenagers. - Oh my gosh.

They have such wild imaginations.

- I need a drink.

- Wait, what are you guys still doing up?

- Hey, buddy.

We couldn't sleep.

- Gacy?

- Yeah.

Your dad saw him come walking.

- I came to tell you guys.

See, I, I told you something was wrong, right, Dad?

- Yeah, well, things did seem a little out of the ordinary.

I mean, he did leave in Kevin's car.

- And he came walking home.

- You have to admit.

That is pretty unusual.

- Okay, listen.

We don't want you getting in any trouble.

So you stay away from Mr. Gacy until your dad and I

figure out what's going on here, okay?

- I'm gonna go to the police in the morning,

let 'em know our situation.

In the meantime, let me handle this. Okay?

- You got it?

- Yeah, of course.

I'm not going anywhere near that man.

- Thanks for coming in, Mr. Walker.

- Thanks for seeing me. I appreciate it.

- I, ah, understand, ah,

there's something you wanna discuss.

- Um, yeah, well.

I just thought it was my civic duty

to bring to your attention some of the really strange things

that my family and I have been seeing

across the street from our house.

- Strange things across the street?

- Yeah. It's our neighbor.

- Domestic disturbance?

You know, it's pretty common now.

90% of all the calls I get are husbands

beating up on their wives and fathers coming home stressed

from work and taking it out on their children.

- Yeah, well, this is a little bit more sinister than that.

- More sinister than that?

I'm all ears. Mr. Walker.

- Ah, must be Dad.

- Bobby, Dad would not be knocking.

- Hello, Mrs. Walker. Bobby.

I'm sorry to intrude so early in the morning.

I somehow managed to cut my phone line

while digging trenches under my house.

Do you think I can use your phone?

- Oh, well, I'm, I'm, ah...

Um, are you sure that your phone is not working?

- Yeah, I'm pretty certain.

I just, I need to call the phone company

to get 'em out here to fix it.

Um, I, I just can't take a chance

on missing any phone calls this morning.

- Right. - If that's a problem,

I can go to the Donnelley's next door.

- No, ah, come on in. Our phone is in the kitchen.

And, ah, let, let me show you where it is.

- I know where it is. I've been here many times now.

Of course you have.

Um, so what kind of ditches are you, ah,

digging in your, under your house?

- I didn't say ditches actually.

I said trenches. Trenches, Mrs. Walker.

Ah, they're for drainage. - Drainage.

- Yeah, um, you know, maybe I can dig some

for Howard as well.

You know, with the water table so high out here,

whenever it rains, it's like a lake under my house.

- Oh, I see, huh. - Yeah.

Do, do you mind?

- Oh no, go right ahead.

Um, I'll just be in here.

Oh my gosh.

Okay.

- Hey, Bobby, Darlene.

The detective said that- - Shh!

- Yeah, I, ah. - What, what's going on?

- I cut the phone line into my house.

Yeah, well. It was an accident.

Look, I just need somebody - Yes, Howard.

- out here to fix it. - Mr. Gacy

- I know I've talked to you - needed to borrow our phone.

about it, all right? - He accidentally cut

his phone lines.

- Fine, just get him out here - What was I supposed to do?

- as soon as you can. - A simple no

would have been just fine. - Thanks.

Hello, Howard.

- Oh, hey, hey, John.

How are you?

- Huh. I've been better.

Yeah.

The wife said that, ah, I guess you cut your phone lines,

something like that. - Yeah, sure did.

Pretty moronic of me, right?

You know, it was just one of those things.

I realized it right as it was happening.

- Mm. - You know, the shovel

went into the dirt and it was too late.

- Yeah. Well, these things happen.

- So, um, are are they coming to, to fix your phone line?

- Yeah, sometime today.

They said they're backed up.

You know, it's the phone company.

Damn bureaucracies. - Yeah, sure.

- Is everything all right?

Ah, I thought I heard you say something about a detective.

- Yeah, no, um, that's just, ah,

my dad seeing if there's a detective

who can, ah, speak at my school.

- Oh yeah, sure.

Well, I'd be glad to come and talk to the kids

about being a contractor, if you like.

- Oh gosh. That's, that's a great idea.

You know, I could talk to your teachers

at school about that.

- Great. Well, now I should really get back to work.

- All right.

- By the way, Bobby, if you want some cash,

I could really use your help.

- Yeah, no, I'm, I'm sorry, I can't.

- Yeah, Bobby, you could learn more about

the construction trade.

- Yeah, yeah, I, I sure will do, Mr. Gacy.

I don't have the time this week, you know?

- Yeah, he has been so busy with summer camp

and everything. - Mm-hmm.

- Oh yeah, sure. I understand.

Well, just let me know. All right?

I'm gonna go. I'll talk to you folks later.

- Let me get that for you. - Thank you.

- Just let me know if you need to use the phone again.

- Will do.

Oh.

Okay.

Okay. So what did the police say?

- Well, the police said we need a warrant,

but they can't get a warrant without reasonable suspicion.

- Isn't burying bodies under his house suspicious enough?

- Bobby, all we've seen is strange behavior.

That's not enough for the police to act on.

- Is there more to the story, Bobby?

- What else do you know?

- Did Mr. Gacy touch you?

- He didn't, he didn't touch me. He...

- Bobby, what are you not telling us?

- Bobby! - Bobby!

- Howard, are you sure

about this? - Yeah, I'll be fine.

Okay? We need proof.

- Just remember, Dad, he tried to knock me off.

- I'll be fine. At least I'll know where he is.

Okay?

- What if he doesn't go out tonight?

- He goes out every Friday night.

It's what you said. He's a creature of habit.

- Creature of habit.

Yep.

See, just like clockwork.

Be careful, Howard.

- I'll be careful, okay?

I gotta go. - Okay.

- Okay? All right?

- Okay. Okay.

- Howard? - Darlene.

- Are you okay? - Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I'm, I'm, I'm fine, I'm fine.

I, but I lost him.

- You lost him?

- Yeah, I lost him in the city.

Too much traffic.

- Are you coming home? - Yeah.

I'm on my way home now.

How's Bobby? Is he staying put?

- Yeah. Yeah, he's in his room.

- Okay. I'll be home in about an hour.

- Okay. Be careful.

I love you.

- I love you too.

- Do you live alone out here?

- Ah, no, but they're not here.

- Yeah, I don't usually just go to people's houses.

Well, we'll try it.

Much more comfortable. - I'm more of a motel guy,

I guess.

- I only did it one time.

You know, I just don't think it would feel right.

Here, I've got drinks. Comfortable couch.

I think you gonna like it.

You know, I bet you it's gonna change

how you do things from now on.

Come on. Come on in, come on in.

Like the new house? Just got set up.

I searched for years and years

to find this particular bottle.

Finally found it.

So, I think it's incredible.

Oh, you're gonna love this scotch.

There we go. Here you go.

- Man, I'm not doing nothing until I see some cash.

- Come on, boy.

I told you, I got plenty of money. All right?

First, let's just see what you got.

- Look, I, I just, I don't wanna waste any,

I don't wanna waste my time.

- Waste of time?

You didn't just call me a waste of time, did you?

- You're not a waste of time.

I just don't wanna waste any of my time.

I, I'm not interested if there's no money involved.

- I have a nice home. I offered you liquor.

You are not going anywhere.

- Get your hands off me.

- No. We'll just have some fun.

All right? - Please, I'm gonna,

I'm gonna get- - We'll have

some more alcohol. - Get your fucking hands

off of me! Shh!

You are gonna wake the neighbors.

- If you cared about the neighbors, you would never have

had me over in the first place.

Get the fuck off of me!

- Oh. Ah!

We could have had a real good time

if you hadn't been in such a hurry to leave.

- Bobby, are you, are you crazy?

What are you doing under that house, Bobby?

- I got evidence. I got evidence.

My camera.

I need my... - Bobby, Bobby, stop.

- I need my camera! - Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!

- Dad, no. - What is going on?

- Let go, no! - Hey, hey.

Keep it down. Keep it down.

- I need, I need my camera! - Keep it down.

Keep it, no. Get in the... - Bobby.

- Get in the house. - I need my camera.

- Get in, get in the house.

Get in the house.

What is going on? - Dad, Dad, Dad,.

No, he, he, he's doing it! He's killing all the kids!

And, and he, the, the, the, the bodies

are underneath the basement.

I saw it with my own eyes and I left the camera.

And that's, and that's the only proof we have.

- Whoa, whoa, whoa! You're not going anywhere.

You've caused enough trouble already.

- What? Dad, what, what are you talking about?

I did nothing wrong!

- You just can't stop meddling, can you?

Leave it alone.

I, I've had enough.

- What, what are you doing, Howard?

- I'm taking the law into my own hands.

- No. No.

You don't know what you're saying.

Howard, you can't do that.

No! No!

Howard, do not lower yourself to his level!

You can't do that. We'll call the police.

Just let us call the police.

- And what about all those kids he killed?

How many other people do you think are underneath his house?

- That doesn't mean that,

that you can take the law into your own hands.

We'll call the police. Howard, we'll just call the police.

Someone's here.

Someone's at the door. Bobby, Bobby!

- It's him.

Oh my God!

Oh my God! Oh my God!

- Go, go to the bedroom. Both of you.

Go to the bedroom now! Go now.

- Who is it?

- Ah, John from across the street.

- Hi, John. - Hey, Howard.

You okay?

- Ah, sure. Why?

- You don't look so good.

- No, I'm, I'm fine.

How can I help you? - I'm sorry

to come by so late, I was just wondering

if you might have a spare bottle of wine?

- Wine? - Yeah.

I have a date tonight.

You know, it's my first one since the wife left me.

And I thought it might be nice to, you know,

bring some wine along.

You know, you're such a classy guy,

I thought you might have something on hand.

- Um, yeah, yeah.

Hold on a moment.

- Ooh.

- Red, 1968, Sonoma County.

Can't beat that. - I'm not a professional,

but this sure does look like a nice blood red.

- Oh, you can't go wrong with a rouge like that.

- What do I owe you?

- Ah, nothing. Absolutely nothing.

It's all yours. - Thank you, huh.

Geez. - Yeah, you, you,

you have a good night. - Oh, I certainly will.

Appreciate it.

He just wanted a bottle of wine,

so I gave him a blood red bottle of wine.

- And you just let him go?

- Just stop with the nonsense, Bobby.

- Just stop it. - Dad, he's a murder!

- Bobby, just, just stop already. All right?

I followed him all night. There was, there was nothing.

Absolutely nothing.

And then shows up on the front porch

dressed like a political candidate

- Dad. - running for office.

There's nothing wrong.

- Mom, can you just- - Honey, honey, please.

- Are you doing drugs with your friends?

- What? - Yeah, because I know what

hallucinogenics will do to your mind.

- We are all getting - Mom, can...

- a little bit carried away here.

You know, I have never actually seen Mr. Gacy

do anything illegal.

- Yeah.

He might have a pension for young men,

but it's not illegal.

- Aw, Dad, Dad, I, I, I was...

I went to the crawlspace on the side of his house,

and there's dead bodies that are in there right now

as we speak and there's bodies!

- Bobby, just stop it!

I've had enough. I can't take it anymore.

- Howard, there is something going on over there.

- Darlene, now you're searching for skeletons?

- Okay, now, don't you talk to me like that.

Don't talk to me like that.

- Let's just all go to bed. Okay?

Let's just, let's just all go to sleep. Okay?

You go take a shower 'cause you're filthy.

And if you ever go over to Mr. Gacy's house again uninvited,

I will take away all of your privileges.

Look at me. Do you hear me?

- Mom, can you...

Dad, you are wrong about this.

- I hope I'm not.

- Oh.

- Let me go!

- Do you know what the only thing I like better

than boys is?

Mm. Boys who are all clean and smell real nice.

Oh, you left your camera under my house.

Oh, come on.

I've got something real special to show ya.

- Hello?

- Mr. Walker? - Yes, this is Howard Walker.

- Hi, how are you? Detective Carlson.

Yeah, I apologize for calling you so late.

I just wanted to let you know that we got a tip

that connects John Wayne Gacy to a 19-year-old, murder.

And, ah, we're pretty sure he's responsible for that.

Possibly more.

- Bobby's right.

Thanks for calling, detective.

- Sure, and I apologize again for calling you so late.

- Yeah, it's, it's quite all right.

- Mr. Walker. Do me a favor, sir.

Stay in until at least sunrise.

- Yeah, thank you, detective.

Bobby.

- Bobby.

Bobby.

Howard!

Howard, Howard, look at this.

Look at the floor. He was dragged away!

- Oh God. Bobby!

Bobby! Bobby!

Open the damn door, Bobby!

Ah!

Bobby!

Bobby!

Bobby!

Bobby!

Bobby!

Bobby.

Bobby.

Bobby!

Oh!

Oh.

Okay. Bobby!

Where are you, son? Come on, Bobby.

I know you can hear me, Bobby. Bobby!

Oh, God.

Bobby!

Ah!

Son of a bitch. Bobby!

Bobby!

Bobby!

Bobby!

Bobby?

Bobby?

Bobby!

Bob? Bobby?

Bobby!

Bobby?

Oh, Pogo's bad!

So, you just had to go and snoop, didn't ya?

Didn't ya?

You couldn't leave well enough alone.

- I'm a good neighbor. - Don't you think?

I was always good to you, wasn't I?

Come on, Bob. You always have a comeback.

What's the matter now? Are you afraid of clowns?

You're gonna like this.

- Whoa, there we go.

Get in.

Bobby, son!

- Bobby?

- Bobby?

- Bobby?

- Oh, no.

Are you a sad clown now? Aw!

You know, you're about as bad as this poor guy.

Well, no something's missing.

- Ooh, yeah, that's better.

Yes! Now you look so good.

- Oh yeah!

Oh.

Oh, look at that.

There, look at that.

So, what was I saying?

Oh yeah.

Do you like magic tricks?

'Cause I got a good one. And you know what?

I bet you'll never figure out how it's done.

Ta-da!

Handcuffs. Regular old handcuffs.

Hey, hold on.

You're ruining the setup. Hmm.

Ah. There we go.

Now, do you know how to get handcuffs off? Hmm?

Oh yeah.

You give up? Well, hmm?

You have to use the key, dumb ass!

Hey, come here.

Don't you just love the suburbs?

The neighbors washing your car in the driveway.

The cookouts, ooh!

Kids on their bikes. Yeah.

Hot dogs. Balloons!

Puppies. You've gotta love the puppies.

- Bobby!

- So, you've seen this before, haven't you?

I knew you were watching.

I could smell you from a mile away.

You always did smell particularly good to me.

- Bobby!

- Ah, dammit. - Bobby!

- That is the one big problem with the suburbs.

There's always some jackass knocking on your front door.

- Bobby! - Go away

and don't come back! - Dad, Dad!

- We don't want any. - Dad!

Oh, he's never gonna find us.

This room has no doors.

You can only get in here if you know the secret.

Oh, I love this part.

Soon enough, you'll just slip off into unconsciousness

and I'll do with you as I please.

Dad.

Dad.

- Bobby!

- Oh, you are determined, Howard.

Thank you all for a great time. I'll miss ya!

Bye! - Bobby!

Bobby!

Are you okay? I got ya, I got ya.

- Come on, come on, Dad.

- Okay, I got ya.

Come on, come on, come on, come on.
