Mankind is what

brought helter skelter.

[manson]

This ain't the first time

I had a gun pointed at me.

-[Sirens wailing]

- This ain't the first time

Johnny law

had me in a corner.

Dying doesn't

scare me.

- Living, now that's

the frightening part.

-[Chattering]

[Screaming]

Get off me, man.

Hands.

Stop lookin' at me.

"When I plunged

the knife in her,

it made me have

an orgasm."

Those are

your words.

Were you present

at the Tate killings?

I'll be fine.

Thank you.

But a chair

would be nice.

- Chair, please.

- Yeah. Sure.

Got a guitar for me

in there in that case?

No, it wouldn't fit,

and I didn't want

to disappoint you

-with a ukulele.

- Well, I could've

made do.

- I need somethin'

to inspire me in here.

- Thank you.

What kind of guitar?

Martin?

Whatever I can

get a tune out of.

- Can't get much

out of these.

-[Tinkles bars]

They all

sound the same.

How's that jury

selection going?

Not good.

The death of public figures

usually carries

some sort of bias.

You know, lots of

people come in here

scared shitless.

I come in here

it's like a goddamn

high school reunion.

[Laughs]

Might as well be.

You haven't told me

much about where

you grew up, Charlie.

Now, why should

I tell you anything

about that?

I was in jail.

The end.

This is gonna

be a long one.

It might help.

Well, I got time.

What I don't have

is a guitar.

Well, long time back

there was a teenager

named Kathleen Maddox.

Kathleen Maddox

went to a hospital

in Cincinnati

and gave birth.

Gave birth to

a little boy named

Charlie manson.

Although, at that time,

he wasn't called

"Charlie manson."

He was named

"no-name Maddox."

And the shit

just spread out

from there.

[Manson]

Never really knew

who my real daddy was.

Got my name

from a guy named

"Willie manson,"

but that

didn't last.

The fact of

the matter is,

I was born

illegitimately

and it automatically

put me on the wrong

side of the law.

[No audible dialogue]

Not a bad gig for a man

born with no father

and barely a mother.

A man his mother sold

for a pitcher of beer

and a black eye.

But don't get me wrong,

I don't hate her.

That's not how

I operate.

You gotta have

a relationship with

someone to hate 'em.

No, man. I was

just a kid trying

to find my way.

[Swing music playing]

Charlie...

Charlie, is that you?

Char...!

Charlie, what the hell

are you doing?

You know you're

supposed to be in bed.

[Manson]

The sound of a switch

was my lullaby

and the pain that followed

was my glass of milk.

That's what taught me

self-reliance.

You mad

at your mama?

She can't help

who she is.

People are

who they are

and they do

what they're

gonna do.

Niggers do

what they do.

Jews do

what they do.

You can't change

people, Charlie.

You can't change

who they are.

You were born

a rebel, Charlie.

And don't you

ever forget it.

Here.

You promise me

you're gonna keep

that with you

wherever you go.

I love you, Charlie.

[School bell ringing]

[Chattering]

[Manson]

Some folks like to think

they can find some reason

behind the

actions of people

they look down on

or consider low-life,

but the truth is that

we're all what we are

and we do what

we're gonna do.

[Rock 'n roll music playing]

Time kept

keepin' on.

Life did the same.

Soon life brought me

the prettiest girl

I'd ever seen

up until that point

in my life.

[Camera shutter clicking]

See, bein'

a family man now

I had to support

the family somehow.

So, I did the only thing

I knew how to do,

and I kept doin' it

and kept doin' it

and kept on

doin' it.

- That's when they had

to come and get me.

-[Buzzing ]

I was in jail

when Charlie, Jr.

was born.

- Looks like

he has your eyes.

-[Baby cooing]

That's funny.

I was thinking

the same about you.

Maybe he's got

one of yours

and one of mine.

When did you get

so good at sharing?

I'm a daddy now.

I gotta learn him right...

Set an example.

This may not be

the best place to do that.

Well, yeah, but...

By the time

I get outta here

he'll be old enough

to remember me

but not old enough

to remember this place.

-[Baby crying]

- I shouldn't

bring him here.

You don't want me

to see my boy?

I'm gonna

go now.

No, no. No-no.

Rosie, don't do that.

Don't leave, okay?

Let's just play a little game.

Let's have some fun...

Me, you and little

Charlie, okay?

No, I have to

run some errands

-and I have to

go into work.

- Rosie, don't be rude!

Don't go!

You're not setting

a good example

for our little boy.

I can't bring him

back here.

How am I supposed

to see him?

I don't know.

You can't.

[Buzzing]

I haven't got any

visits or letters

from Rosie

in months, ma.

I just wanna

see my little boy.

There's no harm

in that.

Rosie's not

livin' with me

anymore.

Well, where

is she then?

She moved out.

She moved in

with someone else.

Someone else?

Like another family

or, like,

a friend of hers

-or somethin'

like that?

- No.

- Well, with who then?

- Another man.

[Sighs]

So where's my boy?

I said, "where's my boy?"

- Don't scream at me

like that.

- Ain't nothin' worse

than what you've

done to me before!

- Where is he?

- She took him

with her.

Where do you

think he is?

Sorry. There wasn't

a easier way to tell you.

No, I guess

there wasn't,

now was there?

I'm done.

I just got here.

And you just left.

Well, I tried.

[Manson]

I tried to get outta

there a few times.

Figured I could try

and find Rosie

or at least see

my baby boy,

but they kept findin'

reasons to throw me

back in there.

I never saw

Rosie again.

- That's it?

- What's it?

What about

your son?

Well, yeah.

I have lots

of children.

That's not what

I'm talkin' about.

I'm talkin' about

your natural son,

Charles manson, Jr.

Have you

seen him?

I haven't.

I'd like to think

that despite the heinous

charges being brought...

Heinous charges?

What heinous charges?

The charges you're being

held in this facility for.

You are aware

that you're being held

on charges

of conspiracy

in the murders

of Gary hinman,

Sharon Tate, and Rosemary

and leno labianca.

Yeah, well, now

what the fuck do you

think about that?

Conspiracy?

What kind of bullshit

science fiction,

made-up charge is that?

Look, I didn't

shoot no one.

I didn't pull

no trigger.

I didn't stab no one.

They got nothing.

Well, they claim

that Susan atkins

told her cellmate

everything.

You didn't get

out of jail until

long after Rosalie

divorced you.

I tried

to get out.

I got out a while

after that.

Got myself,

another wife,

another kid.

You haven't had contact

with them either?

No, man. Had to go back

in for another ten-stretch.

Tried to cash a check

the government didn't

want me to cash.

You missed a lot,

Charlie.

Kennedy,

the civil rights movement,

the beginning

of Vietnam.

Must've been

a real eye-opener

when you got out

after that.

Nah, man.

Nah, it wasn't

like that at all.

It was actually

probably the best

I felt outside

of these walls.

- [Hard rock music playing]

- The sixties, man.

The sixties

changed it all.

Free love

and fuckin'.

Now that's what

I'm talkin' about.

Something had

definitely changed.

That's when I met

the mother Mary.

We drove up and down

that highway without

a care in the world.

I'd spent half of my life

behind bars at that point

and for the first time

that I can remember

freedom actually

felt right to me.

♪ Whoa, look out, baby

♪ I'm letting loose...

What's a pretty

little thing

like you doin'

-sittin' out here

all alone?

-[Scoffs]

Parents tossed you out,

didn't they?

See I got an insight.

I see things people don't see.

You wanna join us?

I'll give you

a minute to think

about it.

[Manson]

Maybe it's because

of the things I missed,

or maybe it's because

people evolve with the times,

but young people

were opening

their eyes

and questioning everything

they were taught.

Discovering new

ways of thinking,

new philosophies

and, man,

the girls, man.

There's two ways

of lookin' at god

and the devil...

The devil's

traditionally

thought of as

a fallen angel, right?

A castaway...

But why?

I mean, why was

he cast aside?

[Girl]

'Cause he committed

the original sin.

Before Adam and Eve.

You believe that?

That's what

my daddy told me.

The devil...

Was cast out

because god

was afraid of him.

Yeah.

See?

You're bright. Mm-hmm.

But if that's what

every Bible says...

No! Now that's where

you're wrong. Okay?

Well, I got

news for you.

I got news for each

and every one of you

in this room

and everyone

in the world.

God and the devil?

They're sittin'

this one out.

They're

gonna come together

when all is said and done.

They're shakin' hands

on all the ridiculous stuff

people been doin' down here

in both their names.

See me?

My uncle...

My uncle told me.

He said, "Charlie",

you're born a rebel.

You never forget that."

That was when I was

eight years old.

Right after that,

I burned down my school.

They keep on tryin'

to fuck with me,

but you know what?

I'm not gonna swallow

the shit they're tryin'

to feed me.

I'm a rebel now.

I suggest if any

of you wanna survive

the armageddon,

you'll saddle up too.

Well, hi.

Hi.

What's your name?

Patricia.

Patty.

Hello, Patty.

Anyone ever

tell you

that you're

the sexiest thing

they ever did see?

No. I don't think

anyone ever has.

If they didn't,

it's because they were

lyin' to themselves.

Either that

or they were afraid.

You afraid

of me, Patty?

You afraid

of what I was

sayin' earlier?

I'm from

a Christian family.

Yeah. Well,

they all are.

The blind leadin'

the blind.

Okay, now.

Don't hide your eyes.

You're beautiful.

[Rock music playing]

[Manson]

When I went in,

society was still

a mass of stuffed-shirt,

eisenhower,

"leave it to beaver"

conformity

where everyone combed

their hair to the side

and wives didn't dare

speak of their husbands'

infidelity.

You didn't dare

speak down to authority

and you sure as hell

didn't attempt

to challenge it.

But, man,

when I got out,

something

had changed.

Women changed too.

Now, that...

that's the good shit

Yeah, I know.

I picked it out myself.

- Want some of this?

- Oh, no, man.

I'm good on that.

- [Sniffing]

- Say, man...

You're Terry,

aren't you?

[Sighs]

That's a fact

right there, my friend.

I'm Charlie.

I'm friends

with Dennis.

Dennis Wilson?

Yeah.

Me and some of the girls

have been stayin' up

at Dennis' place.

Oh! I got ya now.

I got ya.

You're that Charlie

he was tellin' me

about, right?

You came down

from San Francisco

with a pussy wagon

- full of hippie chicks?

- Yeah, yeah.

Yeah, I'm that Charlie.

Yeah, man,

I tell you

they're all

beautiful too.

All beautiful.

I'm not joking

when I say

they'll do

whatever you want.

Anything. I mean,

you need food?

They'll bring it

right to you.

You need your dick sucked?

They'll do it right here.

You need more than that?

It's all yours, brother.

- [Snaps fingers]

- [Gasps]

Well, I call that

"kings in a castle,"

Mr. Charlie.

Definitely. Kings.

There you go,

brother.

So, say, you know.

I been tryin'

to cut a record,

and Denny tells me

I got a sound

that you might dig.

[Sighs]

Is that right?

Yeah, that's right.

I'm gonna be bigger

than the Beatles.

All right, Charlie.

Let me tell ya somethin'.

I see it happen

all the time.

People come to this town

with stars in their eyes,

thinkin' it's gonna welcome

them with open arms

because they have

arrived, right?

Here's the thing.

They don't know the first

goddamn thing

about how to be

bigger than the Beatles

or how to be

a movie star

or how to be

whatever the hell

they're tryin' to be.

- Right.

- Understand?

They think

they just are already

because of who they are.

Yeah. Right, man.

Yeah, I can dig on that.

See, the problem is,

none of them got any

real life experience.

You know?

I been in and out of jail

my whole life, Terry.

My whole life,

you dig?

Now, I don't know

what that means

where you're from...

New York.

I come from New York.

See, yeah. New York.

That's a real place.

That's a real place, Terry.

See, I know you understand

what I mean

when I say

I got somethin'

real to say.

You believe

in god, Terry?

I don't know.

Maybe. Maybe not.

Well, see,

I was born a rebel

and I was told

never forget it.

I mean, I can't

understand how people

don't see the war comin'.

- Vietnam?

- No, man. Fuck Vietnam.

That's just a fight

that has nothin'

to do with us.

It's just been set up

to get rid of poor kids

that can't pay for college.

No, I'm talkin'

about civil rights.

So, what's

gonna happen?

King was shot...

Because peace

is impossible.

War's inevitable.

Every attempt at equality

ends with a bullet, Terry.

Think about it.

You stop thinkin'

in right and wrong,

you think in truth,

all the answers are right

in front of you, brother.

- You read a lot, Charlie?

- No, man.

It's about the real people,

the common people,

people with soul.

So, it sounds like

what you're sayin' is

you think that

maybe progress

isn't always good

for mankind?

There's no such

thing as progress, man.

There's just change.

You dig a hole in the ground,

build up a big,

fancy city.

You go fight a war

they wanna call that progress?

You just

call it "change."

Yeah, brother.

You dig. It's change.

It's what that is.

All right. So when

can I hear what you got?

Man, Terry.

Whenever you want.

You can hear it

whenever you want.

You got a guitar

around here,

I'll play right now.

Music just flows

through me.

All right.

Sounds good to me.

- You sure you don't

want some of this?

- Oh, that, no.

Like I said,

I'm good on that.

I appreciate you, Terry.

You wanna

see me get crazy.

[Laughs]

That's when

I start doing that, oh!

[Slow strumming]

- [Laughs]

- All right, Charlie.

- You ready to get this

thing rollin', man?

- Yeah. Yeah.

- Hey, Terry.

- All right.

Just sit back, man.

- Do whatever you want.

- Okay.

Well, you know,

can't you just turn it on

and just... and just

let it roll?

[Strums]

All right.

We'll turn it on now.

You should get

a job making people nervous.

[strums slowly]

Yeah, man, like,

uh, we could just help

you out around here.

You know,

help take care

of the horses

and clean the stalls

and just kinda keep things

runnin' for ya.

You know, as long

as we can crash here.

How many of ya...

how many of ya

are there?

[Laughs]

Well, just a couple.

- Just a couple of us,

you know.

- Oh.

I wouldn't worry

about that though.

We won't cause

a commotion.

We're all about

peace and love, man.

Peace and love.

- You know what I mean?

- Peace and love.

- Yeah.

- I hear about that,

but I don't see

very many good examples.

Oh, yeah?

Why's that?

Well, movie people

used to come here,

disrespect

the whole ranch

and then they

ripped me off.

Man, that's too bad.

You know, well,

I won't worry

about that.

I won't worry about that

anymore at all.

Like I said,

we're all about

peace and love

plus, you're

a handsome fellow,

and I think

couple of girls might

take a shine to you,

if you know what I mean.

I want her.

[Hard rock music playing]

Can you see me, George?

How 'bout now?

That's a lot better.

I see you real good.

- Is it gettin' warmer?

- I'm gettin' very warm.

- [Giggles]

- Yes! That's a lot better.

You're beautiful.

Thank you.

- Peace and love, George.

- Oh, yeah. Peace and love.

Peace and love.

♪ Do do do

[manson]

Things were great

out at spahn ranch.

Livin' off the land,

away from all the fakes

and frauds in I.A.

Away from all

the hate and the lies.

Yeah, we weren't blood,

but who's to say blood

is what makes you family?

Bobby did a stag film

with gypsy.

The kid was pretty good

with a guitar.

Squeaky found love

in the land and was

mother to us all.

Old Tex,

he was in and out

but, one day, he met Leslie

and stayed for a while.

Some people

would come and go.

But some would stay

for the long haul.

I said I had a great family,

and I was the leader.

Well, let me

tell you something.

There was no followers

and no leaders.

Just a bunch of kids

playing music, having fun,

and spreading

the gospel of love.

You still talk

to your family?

I don't.

I don't need them.

Where are they?

They're living

their own lives

and I'm living mine...

With Charlie.

This is

my family now.

And we're saved.

I'm really,

really glad that I came.

Thank you for

being so amazing.

[Laughs]

- Think we got enough!

- Okay.

You like it here,

linnie?

Yeah. I do.

There's no hate,

no fighting.

No one judges you.

No one ignores you.

Sadie, look at that.

That's a sunset.

Just look at it.

That's you.

You got that there right now.

[Laughs]

What is this?

Leslie,

it's acid.

Come on, baby.

We're all doin' it.

You trust me,

don't you?

[Chuckles]

Sure.

So, Charlie...

When did you come out

to California?

Oh... a long time

before you came

out from Texas.

I caught wind

of it first.

- Hey, I was a kid, man.

- So, what you sayin',

I'm a senior citizen?

I dunno, man.

You keep tellin' us

you're Jesus.

Jesus is old

as shit, man.

Yeah. That's funny.

Ah, well.

I can't quite remember.

I get things

mixed up, you know,

with all my

visits to prison.

You goin' on

vacation, man?

Yeah, man. Don't you

know anything?

They keep a hot seat

for me in prison

just in case

I need a place to stay

for a few months.

Yeah, this one I had,

this visit up to mcneil

up in Washington state.

It's where I learned

how to play guitar

from a genuine gangster.

Just kinda wish I had

more conjugal visits,

you know what I'm saying?

Yeah, man,

in all seriousness,

though, you know,

have you all heard of

the "ma barker gang"?

Yeah, man.

I remember ma barker.

Yeah, well. It was

one of ma barker's gang...

"creepy karpis"

was his name...

Old creepy was one

of the only folks

out here, man,

that would ever

help me if I asked.

I told him

I wanted to be

a music star.

Yeah, that

made him laugh,

but, you know

he told me

that he thought

I was lazy.

But not

with the music.

You know that

floats through me.

Since we were both

visiting at the same time

and I told him

how I grew up

in reform school

he said... you know,

I'll never forget this...

He said that maybe

it's finally time

that someone did

something for me.

I was a quick learner,

I sure was

and I think

that impressed him.

Yeah, old creepy and I,

you know, we had

some really good talks.

Never a hot word

between the two of us.

No fightin',

no arguin'.

Man, it's the music.

I wish it was all music,

you know?

That's what

I'm into.

- Y'all like music, right?

- [All] Yeah.

What about you, Patty?

You like my music?

I love it,

Charlie.

I hate...

I love it!

[Laughs loudly]

I love every

part of it.

What about you, Sadie?

- It's gospel.

- Hippie gospel.

The gospel...

that's what colored

people sing.

[Laughter]

That's not what I meant.

I meant...

It's... divine.

Divine?

You think I'm god?

I already know

you're Jesus, Charlie.

And Jesus is god.

What about the devil?

Y'all remember

when I told you that

god and the devil

were gonna set aside

their differences

when this world

came to an end?

Well that time's

a-comin' soon.

It's comin' real soon.

If you look out in the world

that's what you see.

You see it in the air.

It's comin'

you know what?

We're gonna be saved.

You know why that is?

'Cause I'm

your savior.

Sadie...

Would you

die for me?

Would I...

Will I what?

Will you

die for me?

Yeah. Yes,

Charlie, I would.

I didn't say,

"would you?"

I said, "will you?"

Yes, I will.

I will, Charlie.

Good. Yes.

Will you die

for me, Patty?

I will, Charlie.

I certainly will.

I know you will.

Leslie.

Pretty, pretty Leslie.

Yes, Charlie?

- Will you die

for me, Leslie?

- Yes.

I will. I...

I pledge my life,

and I pledge my soul to you.

I would

die for you.

I believe you.

I believe you.

I know you would

die for me, Leslie.

I'll die

for you, Charlie.

I'll do anything

you want me to.

I love you.

You never have to ask.

I'll always be there.

I love you, Charlie.

And I love you.

Now, Tex...

We have the same name.

Now that doesn't mean

that we are the same.

I gotta ask you

a question, Tex.

I'm gonna test

your faith.

You know what

that question is?

Yeah. Yeah,

I know the question.

- What is the question?

- "Will you die for me?"

- What was that?

- [Clears throat]

"Will you die for me?"

One more time.

"Will you die for me?"

I will.

I will die for you, Tex.

And I will die

for you, Charlie.

I know you will,

'cause we're brothers

and we're all family.

We're out doin'

the right things.

Spreadin' love.

Lovin' on each other.

[Laughter]

Do you love me?

Of course I do...

Since the first

night I met you.

Why?

Your words.

They way

you looked at me.

The way you

spoke to me.

The way you told me

I was beautiful.

My stepsister

said I had to meet you.

She was right.

You've shown

me the way, Charlie.

No one ever told me

I was beautiful before.

No one ever

loved me like you.

[Laughs]

[Whickers]

You got

a call inside.

A call?

Like a night call

- or an animal call?

- No, it's some fella

named mur... melcher?

Oh, ter...

Oh, Terry's calling.

Oh, he must be

runnin' late

slammin' me with

that huge ol' record

contract, right?

Right?

[Laughs] Let me tell ya,

this guy loves me.

This guy loves me.

This is gonna be good.

Hey! Hey,

ter, man!

Yeah. Uh-huh.

Wha...

Well, yeah.

Well, no.

Terry, I figured

we'd add the full band

in the full sessions.

Well, why the fuck

did you guys

bring me out then?

No, that's not

what they told me.

So, you're just gonna

sit there and lie?

That's how this works?

No, man!

I'm not out of control!

I'm in control, man!

No! You're the one

that's full of shit!

2,000 years ago,

god was born into a man,

and that man

created miracles.

The enlightened ones

saw this

and they followed him

while others persecuted him.

Now, the Bible says

that Jesus died

for our sins.

Well, in reality,

Jesus died

because of humans'

propensity to hate.

Hate against those

who inspire,

against those who live

against the grain.

If bloodshed

shall occur

it's par

for the course.

What shall we do then

with Jesus who is called Christ?

And at the last supper,

Jesus took bread

he broke it

and he gave thanks.

He gave it to

his disciples,

and he said

"this is my body,

given for you.

Do this

in remembrance of me."

Again, after supper,

he took the cup,

he poured it.

He gave thanks.

He gave it to

his disciples

and he said,

"this is my blood

of the covenant,"

shed for you

and for many.

"Do this

in remembrance of me."

"I speak the truth

when I tell you"

that I will not

drink from the fruit

of the vine

again until I am seated

"next to my father

in the kingdom of heaven."

And then Jesus

and his disciples

they sang

beautiful hymns

as they walked to the top

of the mount of olives.

And his disciples

were with him,

because those

who forsake him

were at the foot

of the mountain.

I thought it was

gonna kick-start

when they shot Dr. King...

But it didn't.

It's because blacks

can't do anything

without the whites

showin' 'em how it's done.

Whitey,

he's out fightin'

pickin' fights

across the world.

The blacks are here

killin' their heroes.

Look at Malcolm X.

Shot down by the very people

he was speakin' up for.

That's not how

you win wars.

You don't go

killin' your heroes.

You don't go turnin'

them into martyrs.

That just makes

you as a people,

as a culture,

come to a boil

until, finally,

you reach a point,

the top blows off,

and you explode.

This world's

comin' to an end.

The war is close.

God and the devil,

finally, are gonna set

their differences aside

shake hands

and watch

while we destroy

ourselves.

"Helter skelter,"

that's what it's called.

"Helter skelter"

and it's close.

And we're gonna be prepared

for it.

We're gonna be

off in the desert

far away from the bloodshed

when it comes this way.

We'll be playing guitar

and lovin' one another

while the rest

of the world

is killin' itself.

I can't wait

for them to suffer.

Blacks and the Jews

just take, you know?

They expect

everyone to care

and everyone pretends

like this facade...

This charade

like they do care

but they don't.

They bring it on

themselves.

That's right.

They sure do.

It's all greed.

That's why we live

with nature.

We don't need

your power plants.

We don't need

your color televisions

your iconography

or your self-worship.

No, we live free.

Movie stars...

-movie stars aren't

better than me.

- No, Charlie.

- Oh, no.

- Terry melcher?

Terry melcher

ain't better than me.

- Fuck no! Fuck that pig!

- The Beatles?

The Beatles

ain't better than me.

Just because you're

on the cover of a magazine

that don't make

you Jesus Christ.

Mankind has reveled

in self-splendor

for too long.

The oceans are gonna

run red with blood,

and the streets

are gonna burn

with fire.

Helter skelter is coming.

Helter skelter.

I don't see a race war

out in the streets.

Y-you don't?

Don't you turn

on your television?

That's what

you fat cats do, right?

Drink beer

all day, watch TV.

Let the TV make up

your mind for you.

Some do.

Yeah, some people do.

Not you, though.

- Not me.

- You're more

of a thinkin' man.

I like to "think"

that I am.

You got a way

with words too.

You're funny...

I like that...

And clever.

What am I?

How did you first meet

Sharon Tate?

You didn't

answer my question.

What am I?

How did you first

meet Sharon Tate?

Oh, I see what

you're doin' here.

Fine, I'll play

in your little game.

[Scoffs]

Truth of the matter is,

I just went up

and knocked on her door.

- Did she answer?

- No, she didn't answer.

Someone else did.

Uh, I don't know.

Maybe she was suspicious

or something.

Why would you

think that?

It's crazy out

that way, man.

You know?

This world's changin'.

That's for sure.

I see.

I didn't know

it was gonna be her

that answered the door.

I was lookin' for

that son-of-a-bitch

Terry melcher.

I think he know

I was comin' because

he didn't

live there no more.

[Birds chirping]

[Knocking]

- Hello.

- Uh, yeah. Hi.

Um, I'm lookin'

for Terry.

- Is he around right now?

- Uh, no. I don't know

a Terry.

I met with him here

just a few months back.

Terry melcher,

he's good buddies

with Dennis Wilson

from the beach boys.

I'm sorry.

You're mistaken.

This is the polanski

residence.

Oh, polanski.

You mean, like,

the movie people?

- Like "Rosemary's baby"?

- Yes.

Okay. Okay,

well, I see.

- Who is it, shar?

- It's just a man.

Hi, yeah.

It's Charlie.

My name's Charlie.

- Good afternoon, Charlie.

- Good afternoon.

Maybe try going

through the back alley.

- Back alley?

- Yes, the guest house.

Maybe Terry is there.

I know.

Check the back alley,

I guess.

You didn't have

to be so rude to the guy.

You really should

be careful up here.

Alone half the time

with your husband halfway

across the country.

- It's crazy!

- I'm fine.

Don't worry so much.

Besides,

I have all these friends

looking out for me.

[Muttering]

- Hey, Charlie. Almost

got dinner ready.

- Tex.

Great. Tex.

You're the right person.

You're the one

that can do this, Tex.

Do what, man?

What do you need?

I feel it comin'.

It's almost here...

-helter skelter.

It's on it's way.

- Now?

- Yeah, now.

- Shit. We gotta

get outta here.

We gotta

round up the girls

and get outta here.

No, we need some cash.

We need to get some

quick cash first.

We need some quick cash

for the road.

All right. Uh...

You know that lady

I got in the city?

- Louella.

- Yeah, louella.

- The drug dealer.

- Yeah.

Well, maybe she

can put me in touch

with one of her guys.

And I'll make

some kind of deal.

Steal their money

or somethin'.

- I don't know, man.

- Yeah. Yeah.

Make a hustle.

- We got time.

- We got... yeah,

we got time,

- but it's comin' quick.

- Okay.

- All right.

- All right, Charlie.

I won't let you down.

- All right.

- I won't let you down.

[Helicopter blades

whirring]

[Tex]

Good evening, gentlemen,

I got a buyer.

I got one primed

and waiting over

in Santa Monica.

Now, you give me the shit

and I'll take it over to him.

I'll be back

in a couple hours

with the cash...

-minus my cut.

- If you don't come back

with our money...

I'm gonna

fuck you up.

You guys

will be happy.

That's why

we're here, right?

- [Foil crackling]

- [Sniffing]

[Phone ringing]

[Ringing continues]

- Good evenin'.

- Yeah, I'm lookin'

for Charles.

- Charles who?

- The Charles that just

ripped me off.

- That Charles.

- Look, man. This is Charles.

I don't know

what you're talking about.

The tall ass

white boy from Texas.

That Charles.

Look, don't think

I won't find him, man.

Don't think

I won't find you.

You help him out,

that's as bad as

stealin' from me.

You understand?

You ever heard

of the black panthers?

You ever heard of 'em?

If you don't bring that

son-of-a-bitch up here,

I'm gonna come

to your house

and bring every

black panther

in I.A. county with me

and gut your entire

fucking family.

- [Banging]

- Oh! I'm all eyes, man.

I'm all-seeing.

I'm all-knowing.

Look, man.

Just listen, okay?

There's just a big

misunderstanding.

We're gonna

talk about this.

Tex here tells me

he couldn't find

his tourist buddy

and couldn't

make the drop.

- I couldn't

find him anywhere.

- See?

Tried to find

another buyer

but it was too late.

- You know tourists, man.

- If he couldn't find him

then he should've

brought the shit right back.

Don't listen

to what he's sayin'.

He's scammin' me.

Man, he's scammin' both of us.

- Don't believe this shit!

- Why wouldn't I believe him?

This is my friend.

I brought him

in my home.

So you're

just like him then?

Another scheming,

dirty-assed

fuckin' hippie.

You're all the same.

Don't practice

what you preach.

You know what?

- Fuck you!

- [Gunshot]

- [Groans]

- [Laughs]

Uh-uh! Don't do that!

Don't do that, man!

I shot your friend.

Don't think I won't

shoot you.

He's bleedin', motherfucker!

He's gonna die!

You don't know that.

You're not Jesus!

You're not Jesus.

We're the chosen ones!

That's right!

You do think you're Jesus?

Then heal him!

- Fuck you!

- Can't touch us, blackie!

- Fuck you!

- You tell your

black panther friends

the war is coming!

[Neil Armstrong]

One small step

for man.

One giant leap

for mankind.

- Are you getting a TV

picture now, Houston?

-[Beep]

- Wow.

- It's fake.

- I know it's fake.

- How do you know?

It is.

I wrote the script.

Oh, yeah? How come

Roman didn't direct it then?

- I mean, I could've

said those lines.

-[Laughing]

It's top secret.

You'd tell everyone.

Like you're

telling us now?

- Oh, now I have

to kill you.

-[Mock gasping]

Stop it.

[Laughs]

[Hard rock music playing]

[Music continues]

What the fuck?

So, that mescaline

you got me,

didn't work out

so well, man.

What are you talking

about, man? Get off me.

Shit had me seeing

way too much like reality.

Reality's no good

when you're lookin'

for an escape.

Man, if you'd stop

using that shit

like a goddamn junkie...

Use that shit right.

- That was prime shit.

- Word is you got 21k

floatin' around in here.

What are you talking about?

I got nothin'.

I wonder where a guy

like you would keep 20 grand?

- In the mattress?

- What are you talking about?

In the ice box?

It doesn't seem

wise to me that a guy like you

would keep $21,000

sitting on the counter

for everyone to see.

You come with us,

you'll have plenty

places to keep your cash

- get off!

- And your stash.

- I got nothin'!

- Think about it, Gary!

Think about it!

They told me

to call you "Linda."

I like that name.

I never really

thought about it

much myself.

Well, it means "soft."

It means "tender."

- I didn't know that.

- You think it's true?

I don't know.

If there's one thing

that this world needs

more of, it's tenderness.

- [Groans]

- [Laughing]

I feel like

I'm in Vietnam!

I've got nothing

to give you. Nothing.

I'm having a hard time

believing you, Gary!

Yeah!

Look at good ol'

Gary here!

He's all show and no go!

Is that how it is, Gary?

You fuckin' with us?

Is that how it really is?

Huh, Gary?

- You can't hear me

talkin' to you?

-[Laughter]

- Aw!

- Is that how it is, Gary?

You fuckin'

lyin' to us or is

that how it really is?

I've got nothin'!

Do you read a lot?

Sometimes.

What do you read?

I don't know.

History.

Philosophy.

Philosophy

as in thought?

Philosophy

as in religion?

Both, I guess.

Are you nervous?

- No.

- [Laughs softly]

You scared of me?

No.

See, I know how

it is out in the world

there, you know.

People judge

as soon as you even

get a word out of your mouth.

It's not like that here.

It's not like

that at all.

It's beautiful here.

You're beautiful here.

What are you

tryin' to do to me?

W-w-what?

- [Breathing heavily]

- [Laughing]

I don't have anything

to give you.

You give

bad drugs to people,

so why would

I believe anything

that you have to say?

Let me tell you

about truth.

When my mother died,

my father said

he would take care

of my brothers and I

that he'd do

anything for us.

- But did he?

- [Gasps]

No, he didn't.

Instead, he drank

himself to death

and then he left us.

I stopped

going to church.

And I took care of us...

Provided.

I did anything

it took.

So...

When you say...

That you...

Are flat broke...

Simply because you don't

want to be held accountable

for what

you did to us...

Well, you think

we're gonna believe that?

Well, now,

you got more problems

than anyone in this room.

[Groans, gasping]

Gary looks like you could

use a maid around here.

- This boy's a mess.

- He won't give it up!

I know he has it!

That lyin' piece of shit!

- Is that true?

- Hell no, it's not true.

What about

the money?

All your cash.

[Scoffs]

What cash?

Your inheritance.

I said

where's the goddamn money?

Like I been tellin'

them for three days,

I don't have anything!

I don't have any cash!

What do you want me

to tell you?

What do you

want me to say?

What do I want you to say?

What do I want you to say?

I'll tell you

what I fucking want

you to say, Gary.

I want you...

To stop lying...

Through your teeth.

[Screams]

[Laughing]

Take whatever you want.

Make it look like

blackie did it.

- Oh, poor ba... horrible.

- [Moaning]

[Laughing]

- [Groans]

- [Laughs]

Hold him down!

Hold him down!

- Push it down on his face!

- I'm trying!

- He's too strong!

- Push him down

like this!

- Hold him down like this.

- Okay.

You can hold

him down, yeah!

Yeah! Hold him down. Yeah.

- [Laughing]

- [Groaning]

- [Screaming]

- [Grunting]

- [Cutting flesh]

- [Muffled screams]

- Still moving.

- [Sobbing]

You know they picked up

Bobby beausoleil

a couple of weeks later

off the 101

driving Gary hinman's

fiat, right?

Well, uh, what

do you mean,

"picked him up"?

Arrested him.

Oh.

Well, that's a shame.

Good kid.

At the scene,

there were what

appeared to be

palm prints

meant to replicate

the appearance

of a cat's paw.

You could

almost say

that they were

meant to look like

a panther paw.

A black one.

Ring a bell?

Is this helter skelter?

[Sniffs]

Now's the time

for helter skelter.

Ol' blackie hasn't been able

to do anything

without whitey

showin' him how.

So, we're gonna go

ahead and get it started.

What do you

want us to do?

That house.

The one that

son-of-a-bitch melcher

used to live in

up on cielo drive.

I want you

to go up there.

That's where

it's gonna begin.

[Sniffles]

Okay, now,

I want y'all

to leave a sign.

- Sign?

- What kind of a sign?

You know

what I mean.

Somethin' witchy.

[Laughs]

What did he mean?

About what?

"Do something witchy."

[Laughing]

The sooner it starts,

the sooner we get

our salvation.

I-I don't understand.

How is driving

into the Hollywood Hills

gonna start a war?

[Laughing]

It will.

- Charlie knows it will.

- Yes.

- Helter skelter.

- Helter skelter.

Helter fuckin' skelter.

- You know it!

- That's pretty good!

- I needed more wine talking

than my mind talking.

- Yeah, yeah.

It's the wine

telling the jokes now.

And on that note,

I'm going to bed.

- Too much wine?

- Ha! That's preposterous.

Maybe for you, Mr. Sebring,

but I have a feeling

I was up a little bit

earlier than you

this morning.

- Yeah.

- Yeah, I know a little

more right now

than to expect Marlon

to show up on time

for his haircut.

Or to answer the door

in a timely manner.

-[Laughs] Yes.

- When were you

at Brando's house?

- Shh.

- I'm afraid of being

invited to Brando's house.

- All the stories

I've heard.

- Mm-hmm.

Well, gentlemen, lady.

It's not a secret

what I'm going to be

dreaming about tonight.

- Oh!

- [Chuckles]

- Do tell.

- Good night.

- Night!

- Ooh!

- Sharon. Sharon!

- What?

How are you doing?

It's been a few days.

Managing...

despite some aches

and pains here and there.

Oh. When

are you due?

Just a couple

of weeks.

Can you believe it?

- How's Roman doing?

- He's good.

Yeah. He's doing

really well.

He's working a lot.

He's really excited.

- But, um...

- Is he avoiding it?

Why would you say

something like that?

I mean, what's

with all these questions?

- I'm curious.

- Okay.

All right.

He's very busy.

He's working on

a lot of important projects.

He, um...

Look,

everything is fine.

You know?

We're gonna be just fine.

- Stop.

- [Gunshots]

- What was that?

- You heard that too?

Yeah.

It sounds like

it's coming from

down the hill.

You go fetch his wallet

out of the car

and keep watch

around back.

Sure. Sure.

Let's go.

Friend of Jay's?

Who are you?

I'm the devil.

And I'm here

to do the devil's work.

- Get up!

- What?

- Shit! [Screams]

- Shut up!

- Don't look at me. Get up!

- Okay. Okay.

- Go, now!

You too. Up.

- Come on.

- Okay.

- [Bashing]

- Down!

- Go!

- [Grunting, moaning]

- Don't move.

[Bashing]

Tex, what do we

do with these guys?

Tie these two

together.

- No. She's pregnant.

- Shut up.

- Just leave her alone.

- Shut up!

- Please don't do this.

You don't need to do this.

- Just let her go.

- She's pregnant.

- [Gunshot]

- [Screaming]

- Shut up!

Shut up!

It don't matter how much

you fuckin' pigs squeal,

you're all gonna die.

So shut up.

Now which one

of you is loaded?

- Huh?

- [Groans]

Who's got the cash?

Where's the cash?

Where's the money?

- I do.

- Show me where it is.

- You got it?

- [Sobbing]

- Please just...

-you're not gonna

need it anymore.

- Please don't do it.

- Show me where it is.

Come on.

- [Groaning, screaming]

- Get over here.

- Shut up!

- [Sobbing]

[Sobbing]

- [Screaming, crying]

- [Stabbing]

[Susan]

Nice!

[Sobbing, groaning]

- [Crying]

- Shut up.

Please don't hurt

my baby.

- [Sobs]

- It needs to live.

- Let it live!

Let my baby go!

- Shut up!

- [Sobbing]

- Shut up.

I'll give you money,

whatever. We have money.

This is all

she fucking has.

This is all

you got?

Huh?

70 fuckin' dollars?

You ain't got

Hollywood money?

Where's your

goddamn money?

- [Gasping]

- Fucking stab her!

- [Slicing]

- [Groaning]

[Groaning]

[Grunts]

[Sobs]

No!

[Sobbing]

[Screaming]

Abby!

Abby!

[Screaming]

[Choking,

gurgling]

[Choking]

Please, please stop.

[Breathing heavily]

[Sobbing]

I'm already dead.

[Breathing heavily]

[Sobbing]

[Sobs]

No.

[Sobbing]

Please, no.

[Sobbing]

I'm a mom.

[Sobbing]

- [Stabbing]

- [Groaning]

I didn't do that, man.

Gary hinman's

house had a similar m.O.

I didn't do that

either.

I thought you

were at the scene.

It's ironic

that they went

to the house

that was once occupied

by a record producer

that you claimed

ripped you off

and lied to you.

Look, man.

I wasn't present

at the scene.

- You're tryin'

to implicate me.

- I just want the truth.

The truth is,

I wasn't there.

Were you at

the labianca house?

- I didn't kill them either.

- So you were there.

- I didn't say I was there.

- I didn't ask if you

killed them.

You think

I'm supposed

to feel something

about that?

Last night was sloppy.

We can't have them

gettin' away.

We can't have

'em screamin'.

Writin'

"pig" on the wall

ain't gonna work,

and helter skelter

ain't gonna begin

if someone gets away.

I'm gonna show you

how it's done.

[Man on TV]

Shirt secure.

You take your string

you run it through

hook number one.

[Groans]

What you readin', honey?

That poor girl.

She was seven months

pregnant, too.

Leno, look at this!

She was beautiful.

Yeah. No.

Stop here.

Y'all, that's it.

Who lives here?

Come on.

She was married

to that director,

Roman polanski.

Polanski?

The horror movie guy?

- Yeah.

- Wow.

- Did we lock up?

- [Knocking]

It's just gotta be suzan.

Come on.

[Grunts]

[Grunting]

You hear that?

No,

I didn't hear anything.

[Sighs]

[Screaming]

What's happening?

You two, you go in there

and you find out.

Go.

- Drive.

- Where are we going?

You and Sandy

met that actor

from Lebanon

a couple weeks ago?

- Yeah?

- Head that direction.

- Get out!

- [Screaming continues]

Get... get up! Get...

Keep her quiet!

[Leno]

Rosie! Rosie!

[Groaning]

Fuck!

[Grunting continues]

Stop it!

Stay still!

- It's too dull.

- What do you mean?

The knife we brought,

it won't go in.

- [Grunts]

- Give it to him.

[Whimpering, screaming]

[Susan]

Just stand still!

[Rosemary]

Leno! Leno!

Leno!

[Muffled screams]

Do something.

[Gasping]

Charlie said

he'd do anything for you.

He said

he would die for you.

Stab her!

[Shouts]

You ready for this?

Okay, you two,

you two go.

You two go.

I said, "go."

So, what happened?

What's it, a secret?

Nothing,

nothing happened.

He wasn't there.

You sure?

Knocked on the door

for five minutes,

nobody answered.

Well, you sure

you got the right place?

Yeah, I'm sure.

Okay,

well, let's go.

Still don't feel anything?

[Manson]

What, do you want me to cry?

Most people

would be disturbed

by photographs

like these.

I guess rebels don't cry.

How many cars

had the people

living with you stolen?

Stolen?

I never stole any cars.

Is that why

they let you off?

Are you challenging me?

I'm not challenging you,

I'm just asking.

Well, seems they didn't have

a proper search warrant.

Anonymous tip?

Yeah, apparently

one of the ranch hands

didn't like

that we wouldn't share

the girls with him,

so he lied

when he saw a couple of cars

on the property.

He was jealous and greedy.

I don't like that.

Nothing wrong

with wanting more.

It's the American dream.

That's

what's driving Americans

to the apocalypse.

See?

Greed, hate, and jealously.

It's a lot like

when you told everyone

that you were

going to be bigger

than the Beatles,

isn't it?

- What was that?

- The American dream?

Don't implicate me, man.

I don't like lies,

and I don't like

the people

that tell them.

I'm trying to determine

if I can adequately

represent you.

- By demeaning me?

- By analyzing you.

Look, man, I'm not

a psychiatric patient.

I'm not a psychiatrist.

- Don't mess with me, man.

- I'm not.

"When I plunged

the knife in her,

it made me

have an orgasm."

Those are your words.

Were you present

at the Tate killings?

Yes.

Were you involved?

[Chuckles]

Susan, we got all night.

Were you involved?

I got in the car

with everyone.

Charlie told us

to do something witchy.

He instructed you

to go to cielo drive?

Yes.

To kill Sharon Tate?

Whoever was there.

I went into her bedroom,

brought her

to the living room,

she was...

Pleading with us

not to kill her.

She wanted to live

long enough to have her baby.

She kept crying,

and crying.

Crying for her mother.

So I stabbed her.

I tasted her blood.

It made Charlie happy.

If you're any kind of lawyer,

man,

you'd be trying

to get me out of here

instead of asking me

question after question.

I have to make

a fair assessment of you

before we go to trial.

We're not getting

to trial.

- Why's that?

- I'm a free man.

Doesn't look

that way to me.

Well, your perception of free

is different than mine.

I'm not the one

sitting there

in the same suit

and the same briefcase

as everyone else

out there.

You're a slave.

I'm the free man.

I'm not behind bars.

The way you live your life

is your prison.

What would you know

about my life?

You wanna know

why I'm better?

Doubt me again

when you've sat on a bench

with someone

for almost a year

who you know killed

someone's wife or child,

when you've had

to cross-examine

a young widow

who watched your client

murder her husband

before her very eyes,

and you tell her

she's wrong.

I didn't hurt anyone.

Then why are you here?

I don't know.

Wrong place, wrong time.

I don't think

I can represent you.

[Scoffs] Why not?

I'm innocent.

I didn't do anything

to those people

in the Hollywood Hills,

I didn't touch those people

in los feliz.

Not that simple,

doesn't work that way.

I didn't kill anybody.

I don't even know why

I'm in here.

Because people

are dead, Charlie!

They're dead

because you sent people

to their house

to take their lives.

And why?

Because you're not

a rock star.

Fuck you man,

fuck you!

Those kids

would do anything for you,

and you deceived them

and manipulated them

for your own self-pity!

And you wonder why

you're here?

You really think

that these people

are your friends?

Your family?

We're not family, man.

We're not a cult,

or any other

of those fucking labels

anyone wants

to put on us, okay?

We're friends.

We're friends.

They would do anything

for me,

and I would die for them,

I would die

for those people.

I gave them a place,

I gave them direction.

You know why?

Because you threw them out

like trash.

And we deserve more,

we deserve more than you.

Fuck you!

They're your friends,

- you really believe that.

- I do.

Well, one of your friends

told her cellmate

everything...

About helter skelter,

about you,

about everything.

Looks like

you're alone again, Charlie.

[Uncle]

You mad at your mama?

She can't help

what she is.

People are who they are.

And they do

what they're gonna do.

Niggers do what they do,

Jews do what they do.

You can't change people,

Charlie.

You can't change

who they are.

You were

born a rebel, Charlie,

and don't you

ever forget it.
