Hunt for the I-5 Killer (2011) - full transcript

Dave Kominek of the Marion County Sheriff's Department in Salem, Oregon is the lead investigator in the case of two cleaning women, Shari Hull and Beth Williams, who, at an office complex job site one evening, were raped and shot by an intruder. While Shari died from her injuries, Beth miraculously survived two gunshot wounds to her head. The perpetrator was wearing a hoodie, black gloves and had tape, like a bandage, across the bridge of his nose. In questioning a shaken Beth, Dave, taking one seemingly minor statement she makes, believes that this case may be tied to a series of robberies/sexual assaults/murders of females along Interstate-5 (I-5) - the primary highway running north-south along the United States west coast - each incident taking place within a few blocks of a highway off-ramp. In pulling together investigators from each of those cases, Dave does believe they have a serial killer on the loose. Further information tying the cases together is the not often used .32-caliber gun as the murder weapon. While more combined robberies/sexual assaults/murders of women occur along I-5, Dave ends up leading an investigative task force to hunt down the killer, working on this case which takes a toll on his marriage and family life with his two sons. In addition, Beth, who has not been able to cope with life following the murder attempt - that non-coping which includes not wanting to tell even the closest people in her life, such as her out-of-town boyfriend Eddie, what happened - has transferred all of her attention on Dave, who she sees as her possible savior and the only person who she believes truly knows everything about what she has gone through. Meanwhile, the killer may provide clues to what he has been doing to those closest to him, if they pay close enough attention to notice.

Can I help you?

Oh, my god.

Please don't hurt me.

He asked for the money,

and then he didn't even wait.

He grabbed my shirt

and the gun went off...

Can you describe him?

Yes...

no, it's hard.

This really hurts.

I know.

He had a bandage thing

across his nose...

you mean a band-aid?

Yeah,

and a jacket hood over his head,

so I don't know.

Dark hair? Kinda tall.

Big.

Not fat. Just big.

I wish you didn't have to go.

I wish you'd come up

and stay with me

in spokane again.

There's no jobs

up there.

You could get

a job here.

Not that pays $22 an hour.

You wouldn't have to work.

I want to work.

I love to work.

Scrubbing bathrooms?

It's not just that.

If you knew

how much I miss you...

Beth, gotta go.

What are you going to do

when you get up there?

I'm going to miss you.

Aw...

That's so nice!

Call me when you get there.

I will.

Thanks for stealing

my girlfriend, shari.

Thanks for making US

late for work, Eddie.

You're welcome.

I love you.

Shh!

I thought I heard a noise.

This place

creeps me out.

I'm glad it's not

one of our regulars.

All I want to know is,

do we have to clean

all those windows?

Taking the trash out.

Oh, hold on a sec,

I'll help you.

There's not that much.

And then we're done.

Ooh...

Oh, crap, shari.

We forgot to clean the door.

Damn.

Let's do it, then.

Shari?

What was that?

Shari?

Move it.

You're... you're robbing US?

Hey, we don't actually work...

shut up!

Get in that room.

Okay...

Hey, I've only got

eight dollars, I'm sorry.

Take off your clothes.

I said now!

All of it!

Okay.

9-1-1.

what is your emergency?

We've been... shot...

Shari's hurt real bad.

Please... please help US.

Can you tell me

where you are?

T-title company,

commercial road.

Please hurry,

before he comes back...

Shari...

Shari, shari...

Come on, talk to me.

Shari...

Shari, talk to me!

Shari...

Shari...

Just got a call...

gunshot victims

down on commercial road...

had to say it,

didn't you?

Had to say Salem was

too sleepy for you.

No, I said it'd be nice

to work on a case

that was more of

a challenge.

Ah, the army has

ruined you, kominek.

Too many bullets

whizzing past your ears

has made you into

an adrenaline junkie.

If she's a witness,

I'm talking to her...

she took two bullets

to the head.

We gotta get her

to the E.R.

How is she

still conscious?

Don't know, but

she's in severe shock.

Didn't realize

she had no clothes on.

Raped?

I'm pretty sure.

Bruises and contusions

everywhere.

The other girl, how is she?

No heartbeat.

Hi, Beth.

You were at

the title company.

That's right.

I'm detective Dave kominek,

Marion county

sheriff's department,

and I'm going to find

the man who hurt you.

And... and shari.

He hurt shari, too.

That's right.

I need a description.

Do you know, did...

Did shari...

Did she...

is she going to be all right?

Shari didn't make it, Beth.

She died about an hour ago.

Mm-mm.

I told her.

I told her to stop crying,

'cause it was making him mad...

But she couldn't stop,

because of the things

he was making US do.

I need you to give me

a description.

Can you do that,

Beth?

We were finished.

Why did I make US go back

and get that door

that we missed?

I... I'm supposed to be dead too.

Why aren't I dead too?

Well, I'm glad

that you're not,

because you're here,

and you can help me find

the man that did this.

Just tell me

what he looked like.

He'll come back for me.

No, he won't.

He's gonna come back

and try to kill me again.

Just like shari...

oh, my god, shari.

Hey...

Shari...

You need

to sit still.

You don't want to break

open those stitches.

You need to go.

You're right.

I'm supposed to

be dead, too.

I'm gonna put a guard

outside your door.

You'll be safe while

you're here, okay, Beth?

I'll be back tomorrow.

...new York.

Albany.

Georgia?

Atlanta.

California.

Sacramento.

Alabama...

Hi, sweetie.

You hungry?

Nah.

Florida.

Miami.

No, stupid,

it's Tallahassee.

Hey, Eric,

he's not stupid.

Don't call

your brother stupid,

you got that?

Yeah, sorry.

Okay.

I had a long night.

I didn't mean to snap.

I'm sorry, too.

Hey...

You want to talk

about it?

No.

You always say that.

David?

I gotta take a nap,

gotta go back to work.

I don't even look like me.

I think you look

pretty good,

you know,

considering.

Little kids will see me

and run screaming.

You should let me call Eddie.

No.

D-Don't you dare

call Eddie.

I... I don't want him

to know what happened.

He's gonna see

the scars.

That's not

what I'm talking about.

You should talk to

that rape counselor

who came in here...

Hi, Beth.

I'm Beth's sister. Tammy.

Hi, Tammy.

I know this probably

isn't a good time,

but I still need to

get a description

of the man who shot

you and shari.

He did worse than shoot me.

But you do remember.

I don't really know

if his hair was curly or...

or not, or straight,

'cause of the hood thing,

but a little of

the dark pieces...

Dark and... and straight.

And then, uh...

A little bit of beard, stubble.

...the suspect is described

as a white male, in his 30s,

six feet tall, facial hair,

wearing

a hooded brown jacket

and black gloves.

Anyone with information

about the suspect

or the shooting

is asked to contact

detective Dave kominek

at the Marion county

sheriff's department.

They didn't say nothing about

the band-aid on the guy's nose.

Is that some kind of big deal?

It was on the sketch.

Not everybody's gonna be

looking at the sketch,

so yeah, it's kind of a big deal

that we put out

an accurate description

of the suspect.

Unless we don't really

want to catch him.

I need a list

of those sex convictions

from the state attorney's

office.

Make it happen.

How was work today?

Oh, you know,

horrible.

Yeah? Your boss

is still being a jerk, huh?

Yeah.

What are you and shari

doing tonight?

Um, what?

You and shari

cleaning tonight?

Um... no.

We're not working,

we're going to the movies.

Ah.

Remember last time

you and I went to the movies?

I gave you a rash from all that

making out we did.

Next time, shave first.

You sound

a little funny.

Your ex-boyfriend

been calling you again?

'Cause I'll go down to u-dub,

I'll talk to him...

what?

No, I'm good.

I just... I have to go now.

Sure you're okay?

I just...

Miss you so much, and I...

I... I have to go.

Bye.

There you are.

They signed me out,

like, an hour ago...

oh.

I thought you were my sister.

I'm here to ask

for your help once again.

I don't want to

talk about it anymore.

Well, forensics didn't turn up

anything at the scene.

I need you to come back

to the title company with me...

I'm not going back there,

forget it.

I know it's not

going to be easy,

but maybe

it'll jog your memory...

I don't want to remember it.

I don't want it

to have happened at all.

But it did happen.

Beth, it happened,

and I don't want it to happen

to anyone else.

Do you?

Is there any detail

you can remember?

Did he take anything

out of his jacket?

You know, something

about his body,

a mole or a scar?

I don't remember anything else.

I was scared out of my mind.

Did he say anything

about himself?

Talk about a job?

Talk about a brother

or mother...?

How about his voice?

Did he have an accent?

Did he use an odd phrase?

Look at me!

I don't know why we did

what he told US to do, okay?

I don't know why

I didn't just jump on him

and scratch his eyes out,

I don't know why...

Beth, there's nothing

you could have done

that would have changed

anything that happened.

I know you're

trying to help,

but I wish you

wouldn't lie to me.

He did say that he saw US

through the window

when he was driving by.

Black gloves...

Masking tape...

.32 caliber...

Last month, Eugene, Oregon,

the 13th.

White male, adhesive tape

over his nose

robs an ice cream shop

one block off the i-5.

Next night,

convenience store, Albany.

White male, little bit

of facial hair,

takes the 16-year-old clerk

in the back,

sexually assaulted her.

21st, Seattle, Washington,

a fast-food joint,

half a block from the i-5,

April soames, 21,

shot in the back,

.32 caliber.

Raped.

She died.

Last month, roseburg, Oregon,

Lydia hall,

just turned 18,

shot by a man

with a band-aid over his nose.

.32 caliber bullet.

She lived.

Then a week later,

here in Salem,

the title company.

Beth Williams

and shari hull,

raped, shot in the head

by a man with a band-aid

across his nose.

Beth lived.

Shari died.

Eight robberies,

seven assaults, rapes,

murder, two states,

all off the i-5,

a block or two off an i-5 exit.

We got a serial killer

working the i-5 corridor.

I want you to just run in,

no standing and chatting

with Darryl if he's there.

Excuse me, are you lost?

Please,

don't hurt her.

Mom...

Stop your crying.

It's going to be okay.

When we first called you

to this meeting,

we were just starting to

connect crimes

in your various

jurisdictions,

what looked to be

the same man

hitting small businesses

off of i-5

in Oregon and Washington.

Then Tuesday,

I got a call from Charlie

down in shasta city,

California. Charlie?

Monday night,

my buddy Mike, a fireman,

responded to a call

at his own house.

Two blocks off the i-5.

Mike's wife, Millie,

13-year-old daughter, Jenny,

they were shot and killed

in the bedroom.

Jenny had been raped.

And ballistics came back

to match to the .32 caliber gun

that killed shari hull

here in Salem two weeks ago,

so there's no longer

any doubt about it.

We've got US another

Ted Bundy on our hands.

Holy mother...

And he's working

an 800-mile range?

At least.

FBI has a profile out,

but I think we're looking

for a truck driver.

Or some kind of

traveling salesman.

We're also cross-checking

all class a and b

driver's licenses

with convicted sex offenders.

That'll take a while.

It will, but if we pool

our information,

I think we can

get a bead on this guy,

take him down

in a day or two.

You're all investigating him.

Tell me something

I don't already know.

A car.

A fingerprint,

tattoo.

Your witnesses had to notice

something else about him.

Nothing.

Well...

We've got to warn the public.

We believe that the

assailant's responsible

for 15 attacks on women

over the last two months.

His motive is initially robbery,

in most cases rape,

and in five cases,

he's murdered or attempted

to murder his victims

by gunshot.

15 attacks?

Why are we just hearing

about this guy now?

Well, we've only been aware of

the connection between the cases

for less than a week now...

a week?

Don't you think people

should have been told

the very first day?

Shari...

Talk to me!

You still sleeping

in your clothes?

I thought you were

going to try

and stay another day.

I did try.

My boss says

if I'm not at work tonight,

then I should find

another job.

I don't know why you won't

come home with me.

Because I don't want

anyone to know.

It's... it's not

your fault, Beth!

You don't have to keep it

a deep dark secret.

I'm not going to tell

anyone, okay?

They... they'd look at me,

and they'd imagine it,

and I just, I feel him

stuck all over me.

I was only

trying to help.

If you want to help,

you can drop me somewhere

on your way out of town.

The state police jet

will take you

down to shasta city,

and the FBI called.

They want in on this case

real bad.

Hey, everybody

and their brother

wants in on

this damn case.

Yeah, well, they're sending

an agent down to see you.

What for?

The FBI's profile

was so generic

it didn't give US

anything to work with.

I don't need them

wasting my time, bill.

My sister was leaving,

and I didn't want

to be alone, and I...

Can't think of

anywhere else

where I'd feel safe.

Is there somebody

besides your sister

you could stay with?

I guess I could call

my boyfriend.

You have a boyfriend

here in town?

No, he lives

in Washington.

He didn't want me

to move here.

He was right.

Dumb idea, huh?

I haven't told him yet.

Eddie.

I talk to him

like everything's normal,

and when I'm on the phone

with him,

I almost do feel normal,

you know?

I do know.

But I'm going have to

tell him eventually because...

He keeps asking

about shari.

Mm-hm.

Maybe you could

tell him for me?

Everything that happened.

Oh, I'm sorry.

No, that was a...

Weird thing to ask, wasn't it?

But then you know

I'm not normal.

You're fine.

You... you're still you,

even after the hell

that you've been through...

and I know that this bastard

put you through hell...

you're doing better

than you know.

You are,

and I have a number

of a friend of mine,

a counselor.

Her name's Susan.

She can help you figure out

how to tell people...

what, that after I was raped,

I had to watch my best friend

get shot in the head?

Really?

Susan can help me

work that into a conversation?

You just worked it

into a conversation with me.

You're the only one.

The only person

in the whole world

I can talk to.

They were both found

there on the bed.

Millie was half hanging off...

Ah, you saw the pictures.

She had to watch

her daughter be tied up

brutalized.

Makes you sick,

doesn't it?

Could have been

my wife and daughter.

Although I don't live

near i-5.

I do.

What kind

of trace evidence

have you come up with?

Black fibers,

probably from

the driving gloves

we know he wears.

Some rayon fibers too,

but don't know

what that's from yet.

His jacket?

Inside lining has rayon.

Yeah, well, every other

jacket on the planet

has rayon in the lining.

Hey, your forensics guys,

they didn't move the bed.

I see the line in the dust.

I wouldn't call 'em

"my guys."

We borrowed 'em

from Redding.

You know, the bureau

would be glad

to provide a forensics team

to you at any time.

We do things

a little differently.

Hey, look at this.

What?

That...

Is a footprint.

The top half of a...

A hiking boot.

A stray puff of air

will blow that away

if it's not

stabilized.

There, stabilized.

That's Mike.

I don't know how he's ever

going to get over this.

Did your Redding guys

find any tire impressions

in the driveway?

Sure,

but all of 'em

match the family cars.

Besides, the i-5 killer

never parks where he hits.

Well, he has to park somewhere.

I'm going to call

monty holloway,

get him to put together

a list of all the parking lots

with security cameras

by i-5 on-ramps that are

close to the crime scenes.

We'll start where he did.

Roseburg.

I thought you were

off your rocker

when you came up

with this idea.

You're not the first one

to tell me that, Jim,

but thanks for coming down.

What do you got here,

a strip mall parking lot

on the other side

of the freeway?

Right, the night

Lydia hall was shot.

This lot

is a quarter-mile away.

It's a four-minute walk, tops.

Okay, here we go,

starting at 10:48 P.M.

20 minutes,

timing's about right.

I don't know,

it seems long to me.

Wait a minute.

I recognize this guy.

Yeah, I saw him

outside the gas station.

Something about

this guy bothered me.

He was at the scene?

Yeah.

Let's see if we can get

that license plate...

Douglas county sheriff,

open up!

Gerald toomey,

you're under arrest

on suspicion

of attempted murder.

Thanks.

Hey.

Oh... aw.

Oh, you scared me.

Oh, Beth,

that's my fault.

I should have

said something.

It's just...

Look at this,

I crushed an orange.

It's...

Sorry.

Please tell me

you're not here

to ask me to go back

to the title company again.

No, I think we caught

the i-5 killer.

We made an arrest

in roseburg.

A girl was shot

a week before you,

with a bullet from the same gun.

He fits the description

of the guy that shot

you and shari,

and, uh, we're putting

a line-up together,

and if she can

identify him,

then I'm going to come back

and get you,

and you can I.D. Him, too.

You think it's really him?

He's got a record...

domestic violence,

aggravated assault.

Lives alone

in a trailer.

No alibi for

the nights in question.

Even has

a pair of hiking boots.

I'm pretty sure we got him.

Thank god.

Please let it be him.

Well, you don't

have to go down

to roseburg.

Right.

I'm not going to

miss this line-up.

Monty just called.

I-5 killer

hit again last night.

Yreka, California.

When?

11:00 P.M.

Gunman hit

a donut shop,

took the cashier in the back

and assaulted her

in the bathroom

with someone waiting outside

to use it.

They get a description?

White male,

six feet,

brown jacket

with a hood.

Black gloves.

Silver revolver.

Tape over his nose.

I won't be taking you

down to roseburg.

The i-5 killer was

in California last night,

and the witness

down there

was unable to

identify the suspect.

We've ruled him out.

You said you had him.

I know. I...

I was wrong.

I'm sorry I got your hopes up.

So then he's still out there.

Go long!

Your landlady's kid,

he idolizes you, huh?

Then, you're used to that,

Mr. Green bay packer.

He's a good kid...

What's up with you?

I thought I was meeting you

in Portland tonight.

You are.

I'm on my way back

from California.

Really?

I don't remember you saying

you were going down there.

I had some meetings.

I travel a lot for my job.

Good, good.

Maybe that'll

take your mind off of Stacy.

I know that

it hit you hard.

Yeah, it hit me hard.

My ex-girlfriend

got shot in the face,

and the cops thought

I had something to do with it?

I'm sorry.

I know that doesn't

help a damn thing...

no, I'm sorry I got you

mixed up in all that.

I thought they'd

just talk to you

about where I was

that night.

I didn't think they'd

sit you under hot lights

for three hours.

Oh, buddy,

that was so messed up

that they even suspected you.

And that's exactly

what I told them,

loud and clear.

I knew I picked the right guy

to be my alibi.

But right now,

I'd better get

back on the road.

All right.

Beers tonight, though,

right?

Yeah. Bring that girl

you keep telling me about.

I'm starting to wonder

if she's real.

Okay, I'll see what I can do.

The same night

he killed my friend's

wife and daughter

in shasta city,

he hit a hamburger place

a half-hour earlier,

sodomized a teenage girl

in the ladies' room.

Two in one night?

Yeah, this guy's

out of control.

We just found out

a couple days before

he killed shari hull,

he forced his way into a house

in corvallis,

two little girls, home alone.

About eight and ten.

He made them take off

all their clothes...

Well, that's... that's about

the same age as my kids.

This guy's an animal.

Dave's been

working with Roy

and the Oregon state police

on a rapid response plan.

When our guy hits again,

we want to get roadblocks

in place on the i-5.

We'll get him

on his way back home.

Look, i... I don't know.

Roadblocks

take a lot of manpower.

You know how many exits

there are on this highway?

134.

Yeah, okay, there you go.

I mean, that's a lot of holes

for him to slip through.

I just... I don't know

if it's worth it.

You don't want to

invest the manpower?

You want to tell that

the families of the victims?

Huh?

I will put a roadblock

up and down this whole state

at every exit.

This sick son of a bitch

isn't going to hurt

one more girl,

not one more.

Oh, hello.

Beth.

What a... what a surprise.

Stacy dumped you

what, three months

before she was killed?

Four.

Okay, but that's enough time

to get over her.

I'm never gonna get over her.

I loved Stacy.

But she... she hurt you.

You don't get it.

Hi. I'm Samantha.

I'm taking over Carla's tables.

Can I get you guys

another round?

Yes, ma'am, you sure can.

Okay, looks like

a greyhound for you,

and for you?

Oh, hey,

I remember you.

The bartender.

Yeah, that's right.

I remember you can do

a handstand for 36 seconds.

I timed you.

Yeah.

So, see any good movies lately?

Uh, not really.

What is this?

Another one of

your football groupies?

Or... or did she see you

in playgirl

and get all hot

and bothered?

You were in playgirl ?

Like, naked?

It was just this thing

they did on football players.

All the... important stuff's

covered up.

What, come on, you don't have it

folded up in your wallet

so you can whip it out

and show her?

You know what,

ignore him, okay?

And we don't need another round.

He's had enough

to drink already.

All right, well,

just let me know

if you change your mind.

Okay.

What'd you say that for?

I asked her for a drink,

she damn well

better bring me a drink.

Clay, come on,

leave her alone.

How 'about

that drink, hmm?

Who's there?

Beth?

Hey.

Hey, it's me.

Can you let me in?

Hey...

what are you doing here?

I wanted to

surprise you.

I thought I'd get here

earlier, but...

Come here.

Sorry.

Oh, my god, I...

Beth, you're shaking.

No, I'm not.

What happened to your face?

Let me see...

don't!

Beth...

Did you get hurt?

Hey...

What happened?

Please still want me

after I tell you.

Please still want me...

Hey, hey, shh, shh...

Thank you for letting me in.

My daughter's

never late coming home,

and her car is still

in the parking lot,

so she must still be here.

Thanks.

Samantha!

Sweetie?

Sam!

Sam!

Sam?

Where are you?

Sam!

Oh, god, Sam!

No... Sam. Sam? Sam?

Sam? No...

Oh, god, help! Somebody!

I'm sorry.

I know I wasn't very...

Romantic.

I feel so bad

you drove all this way.

I don't care about that.

Look, I can't believe

you didn't tell me before.

I would have come down.

You know I love you,

right?

You know I want

to help you?

I know, I just can't...

You just can't what?

I don't know.

I can't be... right.

I... I can't be close.

I need...

What do you need?

You know, you just name it,

I'll do anything for you.

You know,

I think it's weird

you're hanging out

at the sheriff's department.

Why don't you come

stay with me?

I'll take care of you.

Okay, I will.

Except I don't want to.

But I'll come.

I...

Well, which is it?

I don't know.

I'll call you.

Hey.

So, um, where's Dave?

I think he's talking

to the lieutenant.

Is there something

I can help you with?

I'll make him

a fresh pot of coffee, then.

Beth, my new boss.

So Beth's here again.

And she's

making you coffee.

Does she know

you're married?

Some more?

Uh, listen, it was really,

really nice of you

to have me over.

Well, I'm glad

to finally meet you.

Dave talks about you

quite a bit.

He does?

Mom!

He's taking the last leg!

Hey, relax, buddy, come on.

Everything's okay.

Chad, there are more

drumsticks on the stove.

Apologize to our guest, pal.

No, it... it's okay.

I have a nephew.

I'm used to it.

So...

What happened to

your eyebrow?

It's all wrinkly.

Hey!

It's okay, he can ask.

It got broken.

A bullet, it went whoosh.

What, you got shot?

Yup,

and now my eyebrow

doesn't move.

It just sits there

like a bump on a log.

See?

Hmm, I'm a total freak, right?

Yeah. Not as much of a freak

as Chad, right? Show her...

- uh, no...

- do the thing...

Oh...

Oh, that's David, when we broke

ground on this house.

He built this house himself.

You're kidding.

It took almost a year.

But when David

starts something,

he doesn't quit

until he finishes.

Oh, and that's me

with Chad,

his first birthday.

Your family,

it's so amazing.

You're so lucky.

You're right. I am.

Me and Eddie,

we talk about

getting married

and having kids, but...

I, uh... I don't know

if he's the one, so...

...okay, well, I'll see you

in a couple days...

Randy, come on, man!

Let's go!

I love you too.

Bye.

Hey, come on, man...

what, you've got to

check in with your girl

every five minutes?

I thought we were

going to party.

Well, you're

in a better mood

than you were last night.

Yeah, I got that Stacy stuff

out of my system.

Well, good for you.

How'd you do that?

So your girlfriend

stood you up?

No, she's... she's flying down

on Tuesday,

after she takes this big test,

or... something.

But when she gets here,

I think I'm going to ask her

to marry me.

You better not,

not until I meet her.

You've got to bring her by

so I can check her out.

I don't think so.

I mean, I don't know

which Clay

is going to show up.

Hey, look, I'm sorry I acted

like a dick last night.

It's okay, man.

I just want to keep her

to myself for a bit.

Hey, you should call your old

college roommate, rossi,

have him meet US.

What, you, me,

and Tim rossi?

That sounds like a party.

Hey.

Let me get that

for you.

Thanks.

I hate pumping gas.

That's what

boyfriends are for.

Your boyfriend's slacking.

Don't have one at the moment.

I don't have

a girlfriend neither.

I did, but you know

how that goes.

Yeah.

Relationships suck.

Yeah,

so we shouldn't have

a relationship, then.

We should just leave it

to a one-night stand.

I'm sorry,

I couldn't resist.

Although I would like to

buy you a drink.

You can decide

on the one-night stand

thing later.

Thanks, but I'm supposed to

be meeting my girlfriend.

Great, I can call

my friend Randy,

and we could make it a party,

you know?

Um, I don't think so.

She hates it

when I set her up, and...

I don't think it's a good idea.

What, do I seem like

some kind of creep to you?

I don't think that.

I'm over here pumping your gas,

and you can't

have a drink with me?

Oh, oh, what now?

What, you can't

talk to me either?

You know what?

I'm not surprised you don't

have a boyfriend, you bitch!

Bye.

See you later.

Sorry, hon, but we're closed.

That door

should have been locked.

Trisha, you forgot

to lock the door again.

And me standing here

with the money in my damn hand.

Go on, take it,

you want it so bad.

Get in the back room.

Both of you, come on.

Move!

The way you look at me...

Like you're the most

beautiful girl in the world?

Like I'm in love with you?

The things you say....

I've never met

anyone like you.

It's like you're not

afraid of anything.

Not afraid of love.

You sure you don't want

any wine?

I don't want to lose control,

and there's something I've...

something important

I have to do.

Tell me.

Well...

I know we haven't been

together that long,

but I have never

felt this way before.

Angie, you know

the real me,

and you accept the real me.

Um...

Angie,

will you marry me?

Yes.

Yes...

Oh, my god.

I was gonna lose it

if you didn't say yes.

Oh, my god.

Business owners

along the i-5 corridor

report a drop in business

as the i-5 killer and

his two-month crime spree

continue to escalate.

Police say he's responsible

for at least four murders,

18 rapes

and sexual assaults...

can I speak to the manager?

And more than

25 robberies.

You're speaking to him.

Detective mettner,

beaverton p.D.

I'm investigating the murder

of a young woman

named Samantha Adams.

How can I help you?

I'm looking into

Samantha's

known acquaintances.

Her mother said

that she used to go out with

a bartender that worked here.

30s, dark hair,

former football player?

Yeah, you mean Randy.

What's his full name?

Randall woodfield.

Big-time jackass.

He stole $200 from the till

his last night

working here,

not that I could prove it.

I had a couple of waitresses

complain about him, too.

Complain about what?

Oh, you know, they didn't like

the way he looked at them.

One of them said

he had dead eyes,

something weird

like that.

Tell me more about

Mr. Woodfield.

What kind of car does he drive?

There's no way

I'll be able to stay

so far away from you now.

I should drop out of college

this semester.

No, don't do that.

Your folks would be

so mad.

They're not

going to like me.

They're going

to love you.

Don't you think

your folks will love me?

I don't want to talk

about them right now.

I love you so much,

so much.

Wait, wait, wait, wait.

We're not married.

But we're engaged

to be married.

No, look...

I said stop it...

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry...

I just...

I just want this to be right.

I'm sorry.

But it feels right to me.

Don't you want me?

Of course I do,

of course I do.

It's just that

you're my chance to start over,

to do things right

in the eyes of god,

to be a good man.

I just want to do this right.

Okay...

But I think you might be

too good for me.

Do you want

a cup of coffee?

You said you'd catch him.

I will. It...

You have to

be patient.

It takes time...

you said you'd catch him!

You said you'd catch him...

You're never gonna catch him!

You're never gonna catch him!

Oh, my god,

I'm so tired of being scared!

I'm so tired.

I'm going to get

the man that hurt you

and put him behind bars.

I don't believe you.

I see his face everywhere I go!

Oh, god, I...

Even at home, I can't...

I can't turn on the TV,

I can't read anything

without seeing his face

looking at me.

The same face

that was looking at me

when he held me down,

his hand around my neck.

I can still feel

the... glove... around my neck,

I can still feel the pain

of him forcing me...

Hey, hey, I'm sorry...

I'm sorry

that he hurt you.

Eddie's on his way down

to get me.

He lives far away from i-5,

so I'm going to go

stay with him.

That's a good idea...

Beth, I meant what I said.

I'm not giving up

till I get this guy

and I prosecute him.

Maybe you will,

or maybe he's too smart

to get caught.

Maybe he'll just keep

doing whatever he wants,

and no one

can stop him, hmm?

Randy, you okay?

Yeah.

I guess I'm just hungry.

I thought you were sad

because you don't

want me to go.

Well, I don't

want you to go.

I feel better

when you're around.

I do have to get

to the airport, though.

All right, well, give the kids

a kiss goodnight for me.

Give yourself one, too.

No, I had a burger,

I'm fine.

Hey, honey?

Happy anniversary.

I love you too.

Okay, 'night.

Go, go!

Oh, my god, he's got a gun.

It's the i-5 killer.

No!

No...

You're not going anywhere.

Stop!

Let me go! No!

No...

Bitch.

I-5 killer! I-5 killer!

Have you got

that roadblock up yet?

They want to get

another mile north first...

no, no, tell them to stop

and put it up right now.

Two girls were just shot!

Put the roadblock up right now.

We'll get a second team

further south down the road.

Roger that.

Bitches...

Every person, every car!

Take a good look.

You monitor this line,

I got this one.

Got it.

All by yourself tonight?

Okay, she's good.

Go ahead.

Hi. You guys having a party

down here?

If I'd known,

I would have brought some beer.

Mind telling me

where you're coming from

tonight, sir?

Yeah, I was just

at my girlfriend's house,

down there on horse basin road.

But we got into a fight,

so I didn't get any,

if you know what I mean.

What time did you

leave there, sir?

Hey, stop! Whoa! Whoa!

This guy here!

All right, go ahead.

Let's go, get out of there.

Okay, all right, all right.

Where do you think

you're going, huh?

Where do you think

you're going, huh?

To the hospital!

My wife's in labor!

I got to get

to the hospital!

Let US go, please!

Oh...

Where's that guy?

Where's that guy

you were just talking to?

Well, i... I thought you

just had him over here!

I didn't mean

to wake you.

It's okay.

I tried

calling you earlier.

You never told me

whether you're taking Eric

to that baseball clinic

this weekend.

I can't take him

this weekend.

Don't give me a hard time,

it's 2:00 in the morning.

2:00 in the morning is

the only time I ever see you.

Well, it's not like

I'm out bowling.

Ah, how long

are our lives

going to revolve

around this case?

I'd like to know

so I can plan.

I don't know.

Why don't you call him

and ask him to end

his killing spree

so Eric won't miss baseball?

Don't you dare act like

baseball isn't important,

like our kids

aren't important...

that's not what I said...

you know, it is one thing

to blow me off

on our anniversary.

I'm a big girl.

I can take it.

But to ask those kids

to give up

the things they love...

what do you want, huh?

You want me to quit?

Is that what you want?

Is this about that girl, Beth?

No...

the one who obviously

has a thing for you?

Are you working night and day

to be her savior, or...

will you stop it?

Answer the question.

Yes, of course

it's about Beth.

It's about her friend

shari, who's dead,

it's about the mother

and daughter in California

who are dead.

It's about the two girls

who were killed at a diner

earlier this evening.

My god...

This monster is winning,

and I am left in his dust,

scratching my head

like a clueless idiot.

You know, I told bill

that I wanted a challenge,

'cause I wanted to prove

that I could do a good job,

and I had

a serial killer,

and I was gonna

drive him into ground.

I cannot figure out

how this guy thinks.

He doesn't act like

any serial killer

that I've ever heard of,

and I'm failing,

and every drop of blood

that this guy sheds

is on my hands now.

Honey...

Detective mettner.

I'm looking for

Randall woodfield?

Oh.

Well, he rents a room from me.

Is he home right now?

Yeah?

Randy, sorry,

but there's a police

detective here to see you.

Okay, I'll be right there.

So you admit

seeing Samantha Adams?

Yeah.

Yeah, she waited on me

and my friend Clay

when we went out

for dinner.

I didn't even know

she worked there,

kind of a weird deal.

And did you see her

later that evening?

No, I just went back

to my hotel,

and I called my fiancee, Angie.

You want to see a picture?

But you did date Samantha.

Well, once.

It was kind of

embarrassing, actually.

She'd told me that she was 22,

but when I went

over to her house

to watch a movie

with her,

the mother kept giving me

the eye,

and then she tells me,

"guess what, I'm 17."

So I got out of there

pretty damn quick.

That's Angie.

I can, uh, get you her number.

She'll tell you

that I was talking

to her on the phone

for hours that night.

That was the only girl

I was thinking of then.

Samantha wasn't even

on my radar.

I'll tell you

what's bothering me.

You were questioned

in the murder of your friend

Stacy donner.

Now your friend

Samantha Adams is dead.

That's two women you know

who've been killed.

Of course, I wasn't the only one

who knew them both.

My best bud, Clay...

Stacy was his ex,

and the last time

I saw Samantha,

well, she was talking to Clay.

You're talking about

Clay mackey, lives in Portland?

Yeah.

Man, I...

I don't want to think

that my best friend

could be the one

you're looking for.

I can't even

let my mind go there.

If I'm done

answering all of

your questions,

I have a job interview

in about half an hour.

Would it be all right

if I took off?

That's fine.

Just don't leave town.

I might have more questions.

I don't seem to have

mackey's address.

You got that handy?

Sure, I'll go grab that.

Go, go!

Oh, my god,

he's got a gun.

It's the i-5 killer!

No!

You're not going

anywhere...

No!

Come on, turn around,

turn around.

Show me your face.

Nothing!

I got nothing here!

50 agencies, a thousand men,

stakeouts every night

of the weeks.

Useless stakeouts.

Useless tips!

Hey, what the hell's

going on out here?

Nothing.

I... lost my cool.

Well, go home,

grab a nap.

Do whatever you have to do

to get your cool back.

Dave?

A detective mettner

from beaverton p.D.

Is on the phone

for you.

Yeah, kominek here.

I'm working

out of the Eugene

police department today,

had to interview

a person of interest

in a beaverton murder,

lives down here.

He doesn't match the m.O.

Of the i-5 killer,

but he's an ex-con

who fits

the description.

Well, tell me about him,

what do you got?

Well, the thing

that made me call you is...

I was at his house,

I noticed a couple rolls

of adhesive tape

sitting on a ledge.

Your guy puts tape

over his nose...

Give me the rundown.

Randall woodfield,

30 years old,

unmarried,

did a couple of years

for armed robbery,

now he's an

unemployed bartender.

Rents a room here in Eugene,

drives a gold mustang.

Gold mustang?

Yeah, parked outside the house

when I got there.

Don't go anywhere.

We're going to drive down there

right now.

Let's go.

We're driving to Eugene.

Why's that?

Might have a real live suspect.

Does this look like the guy

in the gold mustang?

I'm just not sure.

The more

I think about it,

it's possible woodfield's

not your guy.

He might not

even be my guy.

He gave me a new window

to look into on Samantha Adams.

You were looking for him

in Portland.

Why'd you trace him down here?

Woodfield's

probation officer.

She says he's in violation

of his probation

for moving down from Portland

without permission.

Three arrests for

indecent exposure in college.

No impulse control.

Drafted by

the green bay packers?

The guy's a football player?

Arrested for rape,

armed robbery.

Convicted, served two years...

well, there's no way,

'cause we pulled the list

of all sex crime convictions.

Yeah, I know that list

like the back of my hand.

His name would have shown up.

He was arrested for rape,

but the d.A.

Dropped the rape charge

in his plea bargain.

So he wouldn't have been

on that list.

What's this?

Files from

another murder case

where woodfield's

name came up.

"Stacy donner.

Shot to death..."

Donner had broken up

with Clay mackey,

Randy's best friend.

Makes a lot more sense

for it to be mackey

than woodfield.

Mackey doesn't drive

a gold mustang.

Woodfield does.

It says a gun was missing

from Stacy donner's apartment

after the murders?

A silver revolver, .32 caliber?

We gotta go get this guy now.

I hope you didn't spook him.

His car's gone.

He's not here.

Maybe we can get

a search warrant

in the meantime.

You're back.

Randy's a real good tenant.

Pays his rent on time.

Plays football with my son.

Took him to

a basketball game once.

He doesn't work?

No,

but he's looking

real hard for a job.

He's always gone

at night.

He's a bartender.

He says that's

the best time to apply.

How does he pay you rent

without a job?

I kind of wonder that

sometimes.

He gets unemployment,

but he buys nice stuff.

Steaks for dinner.

Sends flowers

to his girlfriend.

The calls he charges to my phone

are hundreds of dollars

a month.

Well, I'm kind of

a phone guy myself,

but that's a lot of calls.

Do you have a phone bill

that we could see?

Oh, look at this guy.

He makes a call from a pay phone

in Salem, Oregon,

the night

Beth and shari are shot.

Shasta city, on the third,

the night the mother

and daughter are shot.

Vancouver, Washington,

the night i-5 killer

hits three times.

Are you kidding me?

The same damn night,

same damn places?

This is him, Mark,

we got this guy.

Yeah, now we just

got to find him.

Come on, boys,

let's get in that room.

Wait, you can't do that.

We don't have a warrant.

You need to think

about this.

Anything we find

without a warrant

can be thrown out

in court.

That's him.

That's the guy

from the roadblock.

Well...

What is this, a surprise party

just for me?

Randall woodfield?

I mean, not that

I don't enjoy a party,

but you guys

weren't really invited.

Well, we invited

ourselves.

I'm Dave kominek, head of

the i-5 killer task force.

I know. I've

seen you on TV.

You're a bit of celebrity.

Maybe you should think of

a career change.

You don't seem to be so good

with the law enforcement thing.

I want to take a look

in your room, Randy.

Is that all right with you?

That's fine.

I'd like to take a look

at your search warrant.

Well, I guess I've got to

run downtown and get one.

I guess so.

I've been looking for you

for a long time.

I don't take that

personally.

You know,

something bad happens,

you cops start flipping through

your little list of ex-cons

to try and pin it on,

but I can tell you right now,

I am not the guy

you're looking for.

You're exactly the guy

I'm looking for, Randy.

Prove it.

Keep your eye

on the house

till I get the warrant.

He leaves, you follow him.

I'll send some troopers

to back you up.

Drive safe.

This phone bill

places woodfield

near six of

the i-5 killer's crimes.

Six.

Well, making phone calls

is not a crime.

You got anything else

to justify a warrant?

Judge Scofield's

on his last day of vacation,

I'm not going to bother him

without good reason.

Hey, we're talking

about a guy

that's probably killed

eight people,

raped and terrorized

20 or 30 more,

children, little girls...

I got that.

You got anything else on him?

Anything the i-5 killer

is known to wear?

The gloves, the jacket?

Police records say

he's the same blood type.

I saw a couple

of rolls of adhesive tape

at his house,

the kind the i-5 killer

puts across his nose.

Look, I can't

call the judge

with nothing but a

phone bill and some tape.

I saw this guy myself

within 10 miles of

a double murder scene.

10 miles away?

That's not even

in the same neighborhood.

Just let me

talk to the judge.

Fine, you can talk to him

when he's back to work.

Look, if you won't help me

get a warrant,

at least arrest the guy

so he can't destroy evidence.

Arrest him?

On what charge?

Parole violation!

Chief says that sort of thing

is just petty b.S.

He likes to go by the book.

Now, you said yourself

you've got him

under surveillance,

so he can't go throwing

any guns in the river

without you knowing about it...

you're an idiot.

And you are crossing the line.

You should go home,

and I'll give you a call

when the judge

is open for business...

I'm not going to go home.

I've been waiting too long

to nail this guy down.

I'm not taking my eyes off him.

Suit yourself.

Screw it.

I'm not waiting

another day.

I'm bringing

the guy in right now.

Without a warrant.

You're jeopardizing

your case.

I know what I'm doing.

Dave, this isn't

our jurisdiction.

What are you doing?

The lieutenant

will back US up.

He'd better back US up.

Besides, you won't

get fired, I will.

Woodfield!

Open the door. Police.

Swear to me you didn't

take your eyes

off this house...

I didn't, I didn't.

Hey there, you're back.

I'm taking you into custody,

parole violation.

That's all you've got?

Sure.

All right.

Let me just lock up here.

All right.

Go on, I know you're dying to.

As a matter of fact...

This reminds me

of taking the field

with the packers...

Everyone watching.

You and I both know

you got nothing on me.

I'll be back here

in a day or two,

free as a bird.

Oh, good, I was hoping

it would be you.

Why is that, Randy?

Because I know you have

a thing for me.

Just so you know,

I save it for the ladies.

You like the ladies, huh?

The younger the better,

am I right?

As it happens, they like me.

Is that why you got to

drag them off at gunpoint

and tape their wrists?

You still on this kick

about me being the i-5 killer?

Huh?

Come on, man,

I was a green bay packer.

Yeah, I called them.

They said they'd cut you

because you couldn't keep

your pants zipped up.

You liked to show

the young girls your thing.

That's such crap.

Have you seen my fiancee, Angie?

When did flashing

stop doing it for you?

When did causing pain

become your thing, Randy?

Angie's perfect.

You should have a look.

You know what,

you should ask her

what kind of guy I am.

Oh, I know what

kind of guy you are.

You're the kind of guy

that can fool your girl

into thinking anything

you want her to think.

You can fool

your closest friends,

fool everybody about everything,

everyone except me,

'cause I can see you.

I know

there's nothing there.

You're not even human

anymore, Randy.

You called your fiancee

from roseburg,

right after

Lydia hall was shot

with a .32 caliber handgun

as she was giving you the cash

from the cash register.

Do you recognize her?

You also called her

from shasta city,

15 minutes before you broke

into the home of Millie loomis.

You shot her,

then raped

her 13-year-old daughter,

Jenny,

while she was tied up,

helpless,

then you killed her, too,

with the same

.32 caliber handgun

that you stole from

the apartment of Stacey donner

after you killed her.

You haven't found a gun.

We will.

A search warrant is being

written up right now.

Unless you want to tell me

where the gun is, Randy?

And you called your fiancee

from Salem

right after

you raped these women

and shot 'em in the head.

This woman,

shari hull, she died.

This woman, Beth Williams,

she lived.

Do you recognize her?

Look at the picture,

woodfield.

Screw you.

I said look at

the picture of the girl

that you raped

and shot in the head, huh?

You don't recognize her now?

Where's the gun, you sick,

evil son of a bitch?

Where's the gun?!

Dave! Dave!

You ain't gonna

find the gun,

or any damn thing

else on me!

The hell I won't.

All right,

I reached the judge.

You wanted a search warrant,

you got a search warrant.

You put this department

in a bad position

with a premature arrest,

so you'd damn well

better find something.

Bill is not

a happy man.

My eardrums are still bleeding.

Please tell me we're

finding everything we need.

We've turned everything over

except the wallpaper.

There's no gun anywhere.

Jacket, gloves?

No.

What about

the tape mettner saw,

you didn't find that?

There's no tape, Dave.

What, he got rid of everything?

Everything.

I can't get an indictment

on a phone bill.

He's gonna walk.

I didn't want to

hang it all on Beth.

She's barely keeping

her head above water as it is.

Eddie, you gonna get it?

Hello?

Hi. It's Dave kominek.

Beth, are you there?

I'm here.

I found him,

the man who hurt you

and killed shari.

I arrested him today.

Are you sure this time?

As sure as I can be

till you come down here

and identify him

for me.

I can't do that.

Beth, I know

it's going to be hard...

no.

I can't see him again.

I don't ever want to

see him again.

Beth, the only way

that I can keep him in jail,

put him away for life,

is if you help me.

You're the only eyewitness

to murder.

I've only just started

to sleep again,

so you can't ask me

to do this.

Please don't...

I don't want to let him go.

It took me this long

to find him.

I had to fight

to bring him in,

and I did it all for you.

I need you to help me

identify him.

He's going to walk.

They'll let him go.

I need you

to come down here

and help me stop him.

Excuse me?

Detective kominek?

Yes?

They told me you were the one

who arrested my fiance?

That detective.

He said you'd been

in prison before.

I was,

but not for the reason

they're saying.

You know,

I had a girlfriend

who told lies

about me.

I told you I stopped

trusting women,

and that was the reason.

But then I met you,

and you were so good,

and so pure.

You gave me back

my faith back, baby.

But he showed me

the phone bill.

You called me from the places

where the i-5 killer was.

No, no, no, they see

how innocent you are, too,

I just, I hate them

for dragging you into this.

I just don't

understand.

That phone bill isn't real.

They just whipped it

up themselves.

Why would they do that?

It's an old cop trick.

Yeah, I mean, I have a record.

I fit the description.

So they're going to claim

that they have some evidence

they don't actually have,

try and get me to admit

to something I didn't do.

I mean, you know me, Angie.

You know what's in my heart.

You know I would never

hurt anyone.

Right?

I know.

I tried to tell

the detective that,

how wonderful you are.

Aw, thank you.

He said he's putting you

in a line-up tomorrow.

That doesn't matter.

Yeah, the i-5 killer

always wore a band-aid

or a piece of tape

across his nose.

I heard in prison

it's impossible

to recognize someone

who has their nose covered up.

I mean,

that detective, kominek,

he just wants to be famous.

You know, but he's going to look

like a real idiot

when he has to let me go.

I'm going to be out of here

by tomorrow night, baby.

We'll go to Reno,

get married.

I have to go.

You going to come

pick me up tomorrow?

Bitch.

Thanks.

You ready?

Yeah.

Hey.

Hey.

Oh, man, I've been

shaking all day.

I can't stop shaking.

Well, you came anyway.

I'm proud of you.

What if it's him,

and I can't tell?

What if he doesn't look the same

as in my nightmares?

You'll know if it's him or not

when you see him.

When you look at evil, you know.

You just look at

each of the men...

And if you see the man

who shot you and shari,

you write the number

on the card.

Okay.

You kept your promise.

You found him.

That's him.

Are you sure?

That's him.

You need anything else?

I can't believe

it's really over.

I can't believe I don't have to

be afraid anymore.

You're a disgusting monster.

The most disgusting,

worthless person

to ever walk the earth.

You don't even

deserve to breathe.

I don't even know you...

you're a liar!

You killed my best friend!

You killed shari!

I'm going to make sure

that you spend the rest

of your life in prison.

Do you hear me?

You're going to prison,

and then you're going to hell.

Don't get too comfortable

in your cell, Randy.

You're going to do

another line-up tomorrow

for Lydia hall

from roseburg.

Another one

the day after that,

another one

the day after that...

See you in court!

You all right?

I'm better than I have been

in a long, long time.

I can't wait to go home

and tell Eddie

how I just told him off...

I got a job up there,

you know.

At a preschool,

helping out with the kids.

I bet you're gonna

love that.

Yeah....

I'm going to be happy.

Thank you.

Gail?

We got him.

Randall woodfield

is the i-5 killer.

He's never going to hurt anybody

ever again.

Yes, I'm coming home.
