Karla (2006) - full transcript

True story about a woman who falls in love with a violent rapist and murderer. Karla Homolka marries Paul Bernardo despite already having aided him in the rape and murder of her younger sister. Through their marriage he brags to her about other rapes he commits and involves Karla herself in the sexual assault and murder of two other female victims. Told from Karla's point of view.

Dear Karla,
This is to inform you that,

having served 8 years
of your 12-year term,

you are now eligible
for parole.

In connection with this
eligibility you are to be

transferred to this facility
for extended evaluation,

at the end of which it will be
my responsibility to recommend

you for or against parole.

Karla, it is essential that
you approach this evaluation

in a spirit of complete
openness and truthfulness

in all matters - just as it
will be indispensable for me

to keep an open mind.



Hello, Karla.

Hi, Dr. Arnold.

You look well.

Thank you.
I feel good.

I got my university degree,
you know... just last month.

Congratulations.
Getting a degree

while in prison - that's quite
an accomplishment.

Do you mind if I smoke?
Helps me relax.

Make yourself at home.

I brought my pajamas.

Mmhmm.

So... what do you
want to talk about?

Looking at these pictures...
how do you feel

about seeing them now?



I don't know.

That's cute.

God, he wasso beautiful.

But it was more
than that, you know.

He was a
musician, composer.

He had these passionate dreams
about becoming a film maker.

He had a great job.

He was smart.
He was living the life

I always dreamed of.

That was when
you first met him?

Mmhmm.
Yeah, I was... 18.

And, uh, my friend Peggy -
my friend from work - and I.

We were at this
convention in Toronto.

We were staying at a hotel.

We were in the restaurant
hanging out and we were

on the lookout for guys.

Peggy, turn around.

Oh my God, he's so cute.

Oh.

When I first saw Paul,
I don't know, I know it

sounds naive, but I knew right
then, I was gonna marry him.

Are they coming over here?

He was just so perfect.

You ladies mind
if we join you?

Sure. Sit down.

OK.

Hi.

Excuse me.

I'm Karla.
This is my friend, Peggy.

Hi, Peggy.

I'm Paul Bernardo,
my buddy, Nick.

Hi, Nick.

Where you girls staying?

Here at the hotel.

Oh.

We're here for the
veterinarian convention.

Maybe that's why you're
bringing out the animal in me.

Oh my God!

I like that.

Whoo!
Come on!

Umm...

Oh... Jesus, man.

Hey, you don't like it,
don't watch.

Oh my God.

You're beautiful.

I love you.

Doesn't this strike you
as a little risque?

Having sex with a hot
looking guy?

In front of friends?

You should try it, doc.
It livens things up.

Look, you have to remember
he was older.

Mmhmm..

I wanted to show him
that I was ready for him.

But you are the one who
introduced him to certain

types of sexual playing.

I know what you're
talking about.

It's no big deal.

Tell me more.

All right.

That was at home.

It was the first time
I brought him there.

And yeah, I had a little
surprise for him.

What is that?

Shut up.
Put these on me.

Put 'em on?

Yeah.

I want you to fuck me.

You want me to fuck you?

Yeah.

What if I were a rapist?

That'd be cool.

Yeah?

Put it inside.

Paul said,
"What if I were a rapist?"

And you responded,
"Oh, that'd be cool?"

Come on, doc, don't tell
me you've never heard

of talking dirty.

And that's all it was?

That's all it was to me.

It was fuck talk.
People do it all the time.

He also says that your
relationship is what

set him off...
made him start raping.

That's bullshit.

He was raping girls
before we met.

You didn't know that.

Look, Paul lived two hours
away from me.

I only saw him on the weekends.
In between I don't know

what he did.
He only talked to me

about his job and his music
and his film ideas.

Shut up!

Stop it!
Shut up!

And you didn't know
he was a suspect

in the Scarborough rapes.

No. I knew there was some
argument about a sketch

that looked like him
in the paper.

It was years before I
found out more than that.

So you didn't know
that he had actually been

called in for questioning?

Not until much later.

Hey, Gus, check out,
uh, the Sun.

It's, uh, Paul.
He's on the front page.

I haven't seen the paper.

Well you gotta check it out.
I mean, it's Paul.

There's a picture of
the Scarborough rapist.

But it wasn't just Nick.

Lots of people
saw the resemblance.

Guys, this is worse
than a job interview.

Well, after all the calls,
we had to follow up.

We had no choice.

Yeah, I understand.
Everybody's been kidding me

about that picture
in the paper.

Uh, I don't know
what to tell you.

I love women.
I'm engaged to a beautiful girl

over in St. Catharines.
I would just, uh, never

do anything like this.

So would you mind providing
a blood sample for us?

Just so we can eliminate you
from the other suspects.

Yeah, of course.
Anything you like.

Then I'm sure everything
will be fine.

Karla, we haven't
spoken of this before.

And I know it's difficult
for you, but as the psychiatrist

evaluating for parole,
I would like to talk to you

about your sister, Tammy.

Do you think you're
ready to do that?

Sure.
Why not?

Paul says you became
jealous of Tammy.

I wasn't.

He had this thing about her
because she was a virgin.

He was disappointed I wasn't
a virgin when we met.

He wanted something pure.

And Tammy was pure?

Maybe to him.

They became quite close then?

Mmhmm.

It didn't bother you?

No.

Karla, I must caution you.
I can't recommend you

for parole unless
you're truthful with me.

I don't understand.

The time they came home
late from shopping?

Your jealousy is
well documented.

End of summer in 1990?

Go inside!
GO INSIDE!!

You've been gone
for eight hours.

So?

So?
Did you FUCK HER?

Jesus!
No, I didn't fuck her.

She's still a virgin, OK?

She's a slut.

I know you want her, Paul.
Just admit it.

OK.

Hey, so what?

Karla, so what?
I want her.

I love you.
You're the one I love.

That's what matters.

We're engaged Paul.

Yeah.

Are you gona marry me?

Baby, of course I am.

I love you, too.

I love you so much.
It's too much.

Shh.

It's never too much.

So needy, Karla.

Were you truly afraid
of losing him to Tammy?

Doc, you're making me feel like
I want some Demerol here.

Want some?

No.

We're finished here.

OK, doctor.

It's all right, Karla.
I'll see you tomorrow.

We'll talk about Tammy
when you're rested.

OK.

Bye.

I remember your
liking Chocolates.

You love me, right Kar?

You're my king.

What if your king wants
something very precious?

What if the king
wants a virgin?

The king is the king.

But what if the virgin
doesn't agree?

She doesn't even have to know.

You're talking
about Tammy, Paul.

I don't know.

Come on, Kar.

This would make us
so close... forever.

Paul.

Think about it.
Think about where you work.

It's a fucking
veterinary clinic.

They've got medicine there.

You know what
I'm talking about.

No, Paul.
I don't.

Yeah you do, Kar.
That shit that they use

when they operate
on dogs and cats.

You told me about it -
halothane.

That's for animals.

It's not gonna
hurt her, Kar.

Come on, Kar.
This is what they king wants.

You'll do that for me,
won't you?

Kar... I'm your king.

It would make a great
Christmas present for me.

Come on, we can't just
keep putting it off.

Baby, not today.

We just had our engagement
party, for God's sake.

Karla, we have a deal.

Everything's ready, right?

That's a good girl.

See?
That's my good girl.

And there we have the beautiful
baby sister Tammy.

You're on daiquiri number--
what is that?

One? Two? Three?
What is it?

Are there supposed
to be two of you?

Uh oh, is baby doll
a little drunk?

What do you think?
Is baby doll a little drunk?

Sure looks that way.

All right, what I wanna know,
Tammy, is are you

in the Christmas cheer?

Oh, that's so cute!
Do that again!

Ah, so sweet!

She's so fucking hot.

Here you go.
Drink this.

Oh, this is so good.

She should have been out
an hour ago.

Don't use too much.

Don't worry.
It's not gonna hurt her.

I love you, Paul.

I love you, too, baby...
more than you know.

Really?

Really.

Here baby doll... try that.

Finally.

Check her.
Make sure.

OK, get it.

What?

Get it!
Get the rag.

Get the stuff.
Get it!

Oh, baby, you are so
amazing to give me this.

I love you.

OK, do it.

Come on, do it.

I love you, Paul.

Yeah, I know you do, baby.

Put it on her face.

Yeah, yeah.

That's sweet, isn't it?
Isn't that sweet?

Hey!
I asked you a question.

Yeah, baby.
It's really, really sweet.

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God.

Take off your clothes.

What?

Take off your clothes.

We said--

Just do it.
Just do it.

OK...
Now suck her.

Come on.

Suck her breast
right there.

You're not doing it.

I did.

Do it.

No.

Just do it.

Paul, please hurry up.

Do it.
Open your mouth.

Stick out your tongue.

I can't.

Yes, you can.

I can't.

You fucking slut.
You fucking--

fucking ruined my movie.
Don't you ever fucking do that

again, you understand me?

I'm sorry.

Oh shit!

What?

Oh, my God!
She's not breathing!

You're fucking kidding me.

Paul, she's not
fucking breathing!

Fuck you, Karla.

What the fuck
did you do, Karla?

how may I help you?

Hello?
This is 61 Dundonald St.

I need you to send someone.

My little sister
stopped breathing.

That was 61?

Yes, 61!
You need to send someone!

The paramedics are
on their way ma'am.

Go clean the shit
out of the other room.

I'll finish this.

Fuck!

WAKE THE FUCK UP!

Fuuckkk.

OK... this is gonna
be all right.

It's gonna be all right.

I'm not getting a pulse.
Are you getting anything?

Why don't you two
wait outside?

We were just sitting
downstairs, the three of us,

watching a video,
and then I guess we dozed off.

And then we heard Tammy
making this noise.

What kind of noise?

Kind of like a wheezing,
choking, sort of noise.

Yeah.
She was choking.

Mmhmm.

Detective Porter.

Yes.

Yes... I see.

OK.

I'm very sorry.

I'll wait upstairs.
But we'll all need

to go downtown now.

Where's the tape?

It's safe.

And my letter said,

"Dear Tammy, I will hold you
in my heart forever.

All my love,
your big sister, Karla.

P.S. I hope you are happy
and loved in God's hands."

This was sincere?

Absolutely.

Yet within a few weeks
of her death, you were making

a movie with Paul -
the Tammy movie.

Nothing's off limits, Karla.

You can tell me what you did -
tell me why.

Look, we made a lot of movies.
He was...

He was obsessed with Tammy.

I didn't want to lose him.

He blamed me for her death.
I had to do something.

But this time,
the movie was your idea.

This time, yeah.

A bit more to drink...

and then I need to relax.

It's my mission in life
to make you feel good.

I watched you while you
fucked my little sister.

I liked it when you
took her virginity.

Tomorrow we're going
to take this,

and we're gonna put it
on Tammy's grave

because it touched you
in your most private places.

I didn't give you my virginity,
I gave you Tammy's.

I love you enough to do that.

I did that because I love you...

because you're my king.

And this satisfied Paul?

For a little while, maybe.
There was a lot going on

with him at this point.
He had just lost his job.

His mother had thrown him
out of his house so he was

living with our family.
And he just kept playing

that Christmas video of her
over and over again.

He couldn't let go of it.
He made me watch it.

He made our friends watch it.

Oh, man.

You did everything
you could, pal.

Man, it happened right here.

Hey buck up buddy.
We'll get you through this, OK?

Yeah.

I'll tell you what
you need to do.

You gotta get back
on your feet.

I got a proposition for you.

You need cash, right?

Yeah.

Well, I need a partner.

What are you talking about?

Smuggling cigarettes.

It's good for, I don't know,
3 or 4,000 dollars a month.

What?

All right.
Go on, buddy.

I think I might
be interested.

Did it bother you that
this was illegal?

Well, the money was great.

For the first time we could
start making our own plans.

But it was a little scary.

You can go.

Woo hooo!!

Put 'er here, bro!

I can't believe that!

He and Nick started
making runs across the border

a couple times a month.
He used the money to rent us

this beautiful house
in Port de Lucie.

It was a dream come true.

Paul, I love him!

After Tammy, he was, --
I don't know.

He was changed.
Sometimes he was OK.

But then he'd turn nasty.

Clean that up.

I will.

No, I said do it.
Do it now.

Rar, rar!

Hey!

What did I just say?

You said clean up the mess.

Yeah, so you do what I say.

I give you this nice, big,
beautiful house of your own

and you let the dog
pee all over it?

Come on, Kar.

It's not your fault, bud.

He'd say he hated me.

He didn't care if he hurt me.

And this was typical then,
in Port De Lucie?

Some of the time.
But we had good times, too.

Hmm.

I mean we were free.

We were...
we were on our own.

You really like that, huh?

Yeah, I love it!

Come here, sexy!

There was something
else though.

Go ahead.

You asked when I learned
he was raping other girls?

It was then, in Port De Lucie.

He wasn't hiding it anymore.
It was like...

Like what?

Look - because of Tammy
he had the tape.

He knew I wasn't going
to turn him in.

I mean, I couldn't, could I?

How many girls?

Four or five during that time.
I'm not sure.

At least four.

Don't fucking yell.

Hey, babe.

Where have you been?

I just raped a girl.

Took this off of her.

I'm gonna burn it.

What, babe?

I want us to be happy
like we used to be.

I think you hate me too much
for that to happen.

I don't hate you, princess.

Sometimes you say you do.

I know, but...
that's when I'm angry.

I love you, Paul.

We're getting married,
aren't we?

Come here, baby.

Of course we are.

Look - I'm gonna go down
to Florida with the guys

for a week.
It'll be my bachelor party.

And when I come back...
it'll all be good.

You sure you'll come back?

Of course I'll come back.

So Paul left you at home
and went to Florida?

Mmhmm... for ten days.

And what did you do?

Nothing.
I just thought...

Thought about what?

Tammy.

The girl he raped before
he went to Florida.

Who he was with in Florida.

And how I could
keep him interested in me...

make him happy.

You still wanted that?

I wanted him.
I needed him.

Thank God you're back!

I loved him.

I missed you.

I missed you too, baby.

Here.

Come on.

So... did you have
a good time in Florida?

Mmhmm.

Baby, I'm really tired.

Stop it.

I fucked a girl
named Tracy.

Tracy?

Mmhmm.

If she calls, you tell her
you're my sister, OK?

You're so bad.

And you're really not mad?

No... I just want you
to be happy.

And come home to me.

You're amazing.

He slept all day, and then
that night around 10,

he got up and got dressed.

I'm goin' out
with some friends.

I'm gonna take these
just in case.

He hadn't been with me since
before he went to Florida.

I wanted to stop him, to scream
out and keep him with me.

But I couldn't.
I didn't know what to say.

I forgot my key again!
I'm locked out.

It's 11:45 now.
Are you sure?

Yeah.
I'll see you
at work tomorrow.

OK.

What are you doing?

I live here.

Oh.

What about you?

I was just gonna, uh, break
into your neighbor's house.

Yeah.

Got a cigarette?

Yeah.
I've got one in the car.

So, uh, what's your name?

Tina McCarthy.
What's yours?

Oh, don't worry about that.

Shh!
Shhhh!

Shut Up!

Shhh!

What is it?

I've got somebody downstairs.

You just stay
here for a while.

OK, lets see your smile,
see your smile.

Say your name
for the camera.

Tina McCarthy.

That's good.
OK, where's that smile, Tina?

That's right.
OK, that's nice.

Now I want you to
take off your shirt.

That's right.

Slow, slow.
Nice and slow.

Keep smilin'

We're having fun.

Don't hurt me.

Keep smiling.

That's nice.

That's really nice.

Hey, babe.

Are you sure
no one saw you?

When?

When you brought her.

Don't worry.
Nobody saw me.

I'm taking her up
into our bedroom now.

I'm tired of being alone.

You don't have to be.

Come on.

Tina.
Play time again.

I have a little brother
named Patrick.

I'm really close with him.

Please.
I really wanna see him.

Aww.

OK, Tina.

I want you to take your
clothes off for me again.

Yeah, that's what
I like to see.

That's what I like.

Yeah.

Tina, how'd you like
to have sex with two people?

Tell her it's
another girl.

It's another girl, Tina.

OK, you're gonna get
a nice big kiss now.

A nice big kiss.

Keep your eyes shut, sweetie.

You're doin' good.

You're my
little slut, Tina.

I just wanna go home
and see my brother.

Please let me
go home.

You're being real good.
Keep your eyes shut.

What you do in the next
little while is gonna

determine what we
do with you.

Fuck.

I said keep your eyes shut.

Fuck.
FUCK!

Fuck.
Karla get over here.

Do you want her
to identify both of us?

Do you want me to go
to jail for fucking 25 years?

I've gotta--
I've gotta fuckin' kill her.

What?

I've got no choice -
I gotta fucking kill her.

Stupid fuckin' bitch.

Well, at least give her a
sleeping pill or something

so she doesn't feel it.

It's OK, sweetie.

Here, drink this.

I wanted you
to keep your eyes shut.

Oh my God!

Shut up, Karla!

Oh God!

Shut up!

Oh my God!

Oh my God!!

Shut up!

Baby, baby.
Shhh!

What are we gonna do, Paul?

We're really tired.

Don't try to make
any decisions right now.

We might do
something stupid.

OK?

OK.

You can't just
leave her here.

Where'd you put her?

Root cellar.

Take a shower, honey.

OK.

I had a great idea.

Tell me.

Cement.

Cement?

Yeah, we'll put
the body in cement.

I figure we'll cut it up
in eight little pieces,

eight little blocks.

Easy.

I couldn't do that.

Yeah you could, Karla,
and you will if I tell you to.

Paul, I'm not doing that.

Fuck you, Karla.

No, fuck you Paul!

I couldn't believe how
light that head was.

I just plopped it
in the concrete -

that's the one
with the head.

I painted it black cause the
hair was kinda stickin' out.

Um... when it gets dark
I'm gonna need you

to help me load up the car.

And still you gave
no thought to leaving him?

I thought about it...
but the wedding was

two weeks away...
and I actually thought

it might change him.

What about you, Karla?

Did what happened
change you?

I just wanted to get married.

"Dear Paul,
I love you so much.

Once we were an unbeatable team.
You and me against the world.

I want our love back.
Even though we have

our problems, I'm still
so much in love with you.

People think
we're the perfect couple.

We are.
We've just gotten sidetracked.

Let's have a fairytale marriage
like we're meant to.

All my love, Karla."

After the wedding you went
to Hawaii on your honeymoon.

Paul beat the shit out of me.

Why?

He wanted to get a girl.
I didn't.

It was our honeymoon,
for Christ's sake.

But on those honeymoon tapes
Paul made, you seem very happy.

Of course I did.

I knew better than to
fuck up his movies.

I'd learned that lesson.

And on your return
you had a conversation

with the Czehowiczes -
Dan and Molly.

Who were they?

They were the original
owners of the vet clinic.

They'd sold it, but Mol and I
were still really good friends.

They didn't like Paul very much
but they loved me... and Buddy.

Steve and Becca called.

They're gonna
come by later and visit.

Oh, good.

Oh, and they identified
the body of that girl

they found in the lake.

What-- girl in the lake?!

Well, you know, the one
that was all chopped up

and in cement blocks.

Paul, are you all right?

Yeah, fine, I just slipped.

He's OK.
He's just tired.

OK, that's it.

I'm gonna finish this up
and we're gonna leave.

You two are just too exhausted
from that long flight.

Bye!

What are you doing?

That's for acting
so fucking stupid just now.

Me? You're the one
who fell down.

I was trying to cover for you!

Christ, you should have
seen your face.

It's a good thing Molly's
as stupid as you are.

Paul, what are we gonna do?

Nothing.

It's not like they can
trace it to us or anything.

Even though he acted calm
I think he was really afraid.

When Tina's body
turned up so quickly,

Paul cooled it
for a while.

One, two, three!

And that next winter
was a bad one.

It was hard for him to find
what he wanted...

so I guess he felt
he had to improvise.

Drink, drink, drink, drink.

I don't feel so good, guys.

I'm gonna go to bed.

Can you believe that guy?

His wife is upstairs,
for God's sake.

Jessie!
I don't feel so well.

I licked every inch of her.

Hey, she's too much.

You know what she said?
She said she's so jealous

of Karla that she wants
to poison her toothbrush.

Your fucking wife
is upstairs, man!

What are you doing?

Whoa!

If you treat Karla like that,
why not give her to someone

who will treat her right, bro?

Uh, Doug, you don't fuckin' know
anything about my marriage.

Yeah, Karla doesn't give a shit.

What do you mean
she doesn't give a shit?

Uh, you are a dumb bitch.

You're so fuckin bright
you didn't finish high school.

You are a dumb,
stupid bitch.

That's it, you piece of shit!

Fucking bastard!

Nick, stop it!

You don't know shit!

Get the fuck outta my house.

Get out of our house, Nick.

You're a fuckin' idiot man.

I helped you.
I got you all of this.

For you.

If I hadn't set you up
with those cigarettes.

Fuckin' ungrateful bastard.

Get the fuck out.

We don't want you here.

Get the fuck out.
Get your bitch outta here.

Fuck you.

What the fuck
was that about?

Jesus.

The long winter and lying
low was eating away at him.

He was losing his friends
one by one and didn't care.

I did though.
I wanted him to settle down.

"Dear Paul,
Tomorrow is good Friday,

and then Easter.
Do you know what that means?

Three glorious days
for Karla to spend

with her wonderful king."

There's a good one.

What do you want me to do?

Do what we said.

Excuse me?
Hi.

Can you give us directions?

Sure!

OK, great.

We're looking
for the Penn Center?

You're gonna wanna
go down this street,

and when you get to the stop
sign, take a right--

I'm sorry.
I'm so bad with directions!

Can you show me
on a map?

Sure.

Thank you!

OK, so we're right here?

No.
You're up one block.

You're gonna go back
down this street,

and when you get
to the stop sign--

Shh!

Be nice.

Take her!
Shh!

Take her.

Let go!
Let go of me!

Please let go!

Shut the fuck up.
I'm not afraid to use this.

Shut the fuck up.

You be quiet.

Kar, stay here.
Take care of the phone.

I want some time
with her alone.

See that?
A little scratch.

Ahh, must of happened
when we were in the car.

You OK, sweetie?
You all right?

Remember to smile
for the camera, OK?

Sorry about that.

I didn't mean to hurt you.

Who's that?

My boyfriend Chris.

You fucking him?

No, I'm a good girl.

No, no.
You're not a good girl.

You're a slut.

Say it.

I'm a slut.

Yeah - you're my little
St. Mary's sex slave.

You're my master.

Yeah.
I like this one.

Paul!

She's missing a shoe!

Where's your shoe?

It's back -
the nightmare.

We don't know that yet.

Yeah.
Parents.

Mr. and Mrs. Ross?

Yeah.

You are my little
St. Mary's slut.

That's who you are.
Say it.

Fucking say it.
Say it like you did before.

We're having a little
communication problem here.

I want you to talk to me, OK?
I know you can talk.

Say you love me.

I love you, Paul.

Say you love me.

Come here.
Say I love you, Paul.

I love you, Paul.
I love you, Paul.

I love you.

Stupid bitch!

What the fuck
is wrong with you?!

Some things
are worth dying for.

Oh yeah?
Who am I?

You're a bastard.

What?
What did you just say?

Stupid bitch.

You're my master.
I'm sorry.

I shouldn't have said
the things I said.

I had no right.
I should be punished.

Yeah, I think you need--
you need to be punished.

My little St. Mary's girl
needs to be punished.

I'll feel better, too.
Come here.

Who wants me?

All the girls in St. Mary's
wanna fuck you because you're

the most powerful man
in the whole world

and the most sexiest man
in the whole world.

Get me some tissue.

What's this?

What am I supposed
to do with that?

Huh?

Stupid fucking bitch.

Stupid fucking bitches.

Stupid fuckin'
bitch convention.

Kar... I'm gonna get
something to eat.

Don't you try anything.

If she tries anything,
use that.

Does he do that
to you often?

All the time.

Why do you stay?

You don't understand.

I know all of this...
it's not your idea.

You don't understand.

Our little daughter,
she's a good girl.

She's never done anything bad.

Please, whatever you do,
don't hurt her.

Get her!

Please return her to us.
Give her a chance

to live her life.
I swear, if you do, we'll try

to help you out of this.
I'm sure inside you're

a good person.
Please give her back to us.

Please.
Please.

Honey, if you see this..
Don't worry.

Oh, come on.

We'll find you, I promise.
Just be patient, be brave.

Hey, listen to this!

I wrote this.
It's pretty good, huh?

I'm gonna take a shower.

You know, death is nothin'
to be afraid of?

I'm not afraid.
My parents love me.

And Chris loves me.
And you can't hurt me.

You can't hurt--

What did you feel
at that moment, Karla,

watching her die?

Nothin'.

Nothing?

I was thinking about how
easy it was to kill her.

Not like the first time...
it was easy.

I knew it wasn't
gonna stop.

Paul says you killed
Kaitlyn Ross -

beating her with the
mallet that he left you.

You know that's not true.

Many people think it
is the truth, Karla.

These Toronto detectives think
you're the murderer, not Paul.

So does the
FBI profiler.

And the supervisor.

Well, fuck them.

Is there anything
you'd like to add?

Karla?

I didn't kill anybody.

What about Tammy, Karla?

FUCK YOU!

Green Ribbon Taskforce,
formed only a few days ago,

have indicated that they now
believe the murderer

of Kaitlyn Ross may not have
been working alone.

Police now believe that
the murderer and a second man

may be working together.
Police continue to look

for a creme-colored Camaro.

Oh yeah, you fucking idiots!
You don't know the difference

between a Nissan and a Camaro,
and Karla's officially

a fucking man?
That's really fucking bright.

What the fuck?

Hi.

Are you Paul Bernardo?

Yeah.

Can I help you?
Do you wanna come in?

We're investigating the death
of Kaitlyn Ross.

Your name surfaced.

Well, I can't say
I'm too surprised.

I mean this happened before,
in Toronto, when they were

investigating the
Scarborough rapist.

You still married,
Mr. Bernardo?

Yeah.

Is your wife home?

Nope, she's uh,
she's working.

Where does she work?

St. Catharines
Veterinary Clinic.

And, uh, what do you do?

I'm an accountant.

And where do you work?

I'm actually between
jobs right now.

On the afternoon of April 16,
that was the Thursday

before Easter, do you
remember where you were?

Hmm...
Oh, yeah.

I was right here.
I was working on my music.

Got a little studio
right back there.

Well, that's about it.

Well, let me know if there's
anything else I can do to help.

Good luck.

Fuck.
The tapes.

They had no idea.
I was cool as a cucumber, baby.

Cool as a cucumber.

Are you sure?

Yeah I'm sure.
I wish you could have seen it.

Mmm.

Yo!

I'm the cracker rapper,
the lady attacker,

the coppers think
they know me,

but the coppers
they can't blow me,

'cause the Scarborough raper,
that's just the tip

of this caper.

You're not even smiling.

Yeah, I am.

No, you're not.

Yeah, I am.

I'm trying to lighten things up

and you're just standing there
like a fucking stump.

Sorry.

Yeah, you are sorry.

He was really afraid now
that they were on to him.

And for me, it just got
worse and worse.

It came to a head
when we were crossing

the border in July.

OK.

You two been going back
and forth quite a bit lately.

What have you been
doing in the U.S.?

I'm asking her.

Uh, we have friends...
they're getting married.

I'd like you both
to get out of the car.

Open the trunk.

All right.
Thank you.

Thank you.

Fucking idiot.

We could have gone to jail
because of you.

Fucking stupid
fucking bitch!

Don't ever fucking do something
stupid like that again!

What are you doin', bitch?

That's really sweet, Kar.

Paul!

Hello?

Molly?

Karla, is that you?
Are you all right?

No.

Did he beat you up again?

Can you come over?

Hold on.
We're leaving right now.

OK.

Fuck you, Kar!
Fuck you!

You're fat!
You're ugly!

You're stupid!
I fucking hate you!!

You stupid fucking cunt.
Fuck you, Karla.

Get out!

Are you OK?

Look, it's Molly and Danny,
here to rescue the stupid bitch.

Get the fuck out!
Stay out!

Get outta my house!

I fucking hate your guts!

I'll take these to car.

Get the fuck out, Karla!
Get the fuck outta my house!

Come on, Karla.
Let's go.

Princess... wait.

Princess.
Sweetie.

Please.
Come here just for a second.

Don't do it, Karla.

I'm calm, see -
totally calm.

I just need to talk
to you for a second.

Don't leave like
this, please.

I--

Come on.

Karla.

It's OK, Molly.

What the fuck do you
think you're doing?

You can't leave me.

I'm leaving.

You're fucking insane.
I can wreck your life forever.

Forever, Kar.
I will show your parents

the videotape of you
killing Tammy, your sister.

You think they would welcome
you with open arms then?

Huh?
Do you?

Think about it -
real fucking hard, Kar.

Come on, Karla.

Why does it have
to be like this?

Why can't we
just start over?

It doesn't, and we can.

Kar.

Karla?

Aww.

That's sweet.

Come to bed, honey.

Come to bed, honey.

Please, Paul.

Please, Paul?

Do you really think
you can pull something like

that and not have
to pay for it, huh?

Put these on.

What is that?

Put them on.

Get on your knees, bitch.

Arch your back.

That's right.

You like that.

Shut the fuck up.

Don't make a fuckin' sound.

Yeah... that's right.

Shut the fuck... up.

Shut... the fuck... up.

You wanna fucking die, bitch?
You wanna die?

Ahh!

I'm too fucking
nice to you.

You know that?

I'm too fucking
nice to you.

You're gonna stay down
here tonight...

you and Tina McCarthy.

What the fuck do you
think you're doing, huh?

Hello.

Is this Molly Czehowicz?

Yes.

You're Karla's friend, right?

Who is this?

A friend from the clinic.
Karla needs you right now.

Here.

Oh, my--

I'm OK.

You're not OK.
The people at work--

I told them I was
in a car accident.

I have to finish
my shift at work,

then I have to get
a few things from home.

Just come with me now.

Just come and get me
tonight at 9:30.

Paul has to go across the
border and I'll be alone.

I'll be ready.

Really, I will.

But I wasn't ready.
The longer I waited,

the more I thought about
what he would do to me

if I crossed him again.
I was terrified.

He'll kill me if I leave.

No. No, Karla.

We'll find you
a place that's safe.

I promise.

He'll find me.

We're gonna take
you to the hospital,

and when you're better...
I have a cousin who owns

some apartments in Brampton.

Paul doesn't know them.

OK?

OK.

Doctor says it's the worst
case of spousal abuse

he's ever seen.
We're going to book him.

But he won't be in jail?

Well overnight, probably.
But that's all.

She can get a restraining
order if she needs one.

Hey, babe!
I'm home.

Kar?

Karla!?

Kar?

Fuck.

They only kept
him one night.

He was out the next day.

So the arrest did no good?

Not for me.
But I think it renewed

their interest in Paul.
They rechecked the DNA samples

Paul had given them
two years earlier.

Detective Kirby here.

You're not gonna
believe this.

I have a DNA match
with three of the victims

of the Scarborough rapes...

It's that guy they arrested
in St. Catharines.

Bernardo?

You've got your
Scarborough rapist.

But they didn't have him.

Not yet.
Not legally.

They needed more evidence.
And all they could do

was start watching him.

Let's put him
under 24-hour surveillance,

and have a wire tap authorized.

I feel like I'm living
in a fucking fish bowl.

I don't even answer the phone -
it's fuckin' tapped.

You've gotta get
yourself together, man.

Get a haircut.
Clean up.

Get a job, and tell
the judge you were wrong

for beating Karla.

Oh, fuck you, Doug!

Listen, man, I'm trying
to be your friend.

You know, if you're
gonna freak out at me

and be an asshole, I'll leave.
You got it?

Sorry, it's just...

What?

What do you think
of Tammy dying?

I don't know.

I mean... it's kinda weird,
I guess.

Kinda fucking strange?

A 16-year-old girl
just dying like that?

Yeah.

Sixteen-year-old girls
don't just fucking die, Doug.

Use your fucking head.
Karla killed her.

And I have it
on fucking videotape.

She fucking
pulled the trigger.

You have Karla killing
Tammy on videotape?

Is it live?
Yes!

Is it Memorex?
Yes!

I have it in fucking
living color,

and I'll tell you what, Doug.
If I go down on this fucking

assault charge, I'm gonna bring
everybody else down with me!

Hey take it easy, man.

You don't know, Doug,
but if you fucking...

if you really fucking love
somebody, you will do anything

to get them back.
Even if you have to

fucking sink 'em.

If she'd come back,
I'd love her with all my heart.

You understand that
anything you say...

it's called attorney-client
privilege.

I can't do anything
to hurt you.

I can only help you.
Now what is it exactly

that we're talking about?

The murders of Tina McCarthy
and Kaityln Ross.

You have information
about that?

I have more than information.

I didn't do it,
but I was there.

If I help, can you
get me immunity?

Look, why don't you just
start at the beginning

and tell me everything?

How did you feel, Karla,
after seeing the attorney?

Like for the first time,
Paul wasn't controlling me.

And it felt really good.

I felt like there was
this whole world out there -

a world I'd forgotten about.

It was there again now.

It felt great.

Hey, beautiful.
Wanna dance?

OK.

Hey, Kar... um...
I know this won't sound

real good because of the kind
of recording it is,

and I've been crying
and stuff, but...

this is for you, pal.

I still love you.
And... um...

I know that I treated you
like such shit.

I am so... I am so, so sorry.

I wish I had made love
to you looking you in the face.

And I wish... I wish we'd
had a kid.

I love you, baby.

Oh... God!

I miss you so much!

KARLA!

Why, Karla?

Why not?

Hmm.

It felt really
good to forget...

To grab some happiness
again and not let go of it.

I mean, I felt like
I was... 18 again,

before I met Paul...
a chance to start over.

But you couldn't
start over, could you?

No...

But I tried.

Hello.

Is this Paul Bernardo
of Bayview Lane?

Yeah.
Who's this?

I'd like to tell you
about a possible--

Who is this?
What do you want?

I'm not interested.

Police finally made an arrest
in the Scarborough rapist case -

eight years after
the first rape occurred.

The man in custody
is 28-year-old Paul Bernardo.

He was arrested late this
afternoon at 57 Bayview,

Bernardo's home in St.
Catharines, which he rented

with a female companion believed
to be his wife, Karla Homolka,

who is still being sought
for police questioning.

Oh, my God.

Anyone with information
regarding Karla Homolka

is urged to contact police.
We can only hope that this

arrest will be the beginning of
the final chapter of this story,

and that some sense of closure
may be brought to those

who have lived in terror
for so long.

I had gone out
to get something to eat.

When I came back, um,
Karla was sitting in

the living room, crying.
And I ran upstairs...

and Kaitlyn was dead.
She was... lying there with a

cord tied around her neck,
and there was blood.

Isn't it true that, when alone
with her, Kaitlyn became very

upset when she saw her father
on TV and she tried to escape?

And in the ensuing struggle,
you hit her with a mallet?

In the frenzy, Kaitlyn twisted
the noose around her neck

and strangled herself?

That is a total lie.

I have never hit anybody
in my life, Mr. Siegel.

And when Paul came home,
Kaitlyn was dead on the floor?

That's a lie.
Paul's trying to twist

everything so he gets off with
the murder of Kaitlyn Ross.

But he did it.

I know I've done some really
terrible things, and I've caused

a lot of sadness and sorrow
to a lot of people.

I'm really sorry about that,
and I know that I deserve

to be punished.
But I didn't kill those girls.

They convicted Paul
on two counts of murder.

They gave him
life in prison

without the possibility
of parole.

I plea-bargained and was
given 12 years.

Victims' rights groups
all over Canada protested.

They felt the sentence
was too light.

When will I know
the results?

The parole board
meets in ten days.

You think I killed
Kaitlyn Ross, don't you?

My report addresses
what you might or might not do

in the future... not what you did
or didn't do in the past.

Mmhmm.

I'm not a psychopath...
you know?

I'm safer inside anyway.

They say that people
outside are waiting

to kill me when I get out.

It's probably
just as well this way.

Goodbye, Karla.

Bye.

I know there are people
out there who think

I killed Kaitlyn Ross
and Tina McCarthy.

I didn't.
But Dr. Arnold was right.

I did kill somebody.

I killed my little sister.

How can anyone ever
be forgiven for that?

I think about what
I did every day.

I really do.
