The Boston Strangler Page #2

They get plenty out of me for it.

Now, you write down for me

where you were...

...and who you talked to

on these two dates.

I want the names, the places

and the time...

...anything that you can remember.

[BUZZES]

- Who is it?

- DESALVO:
The plumber.

The owner told me to come over

to look at your sink and your toilet.

- He said you might get new ones.

- They never said anything to me about it.

I don't know about that, lady,

but you're on my list.

I'll phone them.

Maybe you could come back.

I don't know when I'll get back.

But it's okay with me

if you don't want to be bothered.

No. No, it's all right.

So long as you're here, you should look.

[DOOR BUZZES]

Well, you know, you can't be too careful

these days.

COMMISSIONER:
Emma Hodak, Mara

Edwards, Louise Penny, Bertha Blum...

...all highly respectable women...

...innocently admitted this deranged man

to their homes.

Allow no strangers to enter your home

under any pretext.

An emergency telephone number, RI2-1818...

...has been established.

This line is open 24 hours a day.

Do not be embarrassed nor afraid

to report any person...

...no matter how insignificant

you may feel your suspicions are.

Thank you.

All right.

I hope you've all got the picture.

Each of you is getting a list

of known sex offenders.

Bring in the people you usually ignore:

peepers, the men's-room queens...

...the exhibitionists, subway jostlers,

the dirty-word specialists.

I know it isn't easy to question habitual

sex offenders and certified nuts...

...but nail them and talk to them.

You don't have to have an ironclad case.

We're not interested

in misdemeanor convictions...

...only homicide suspects.

Now, let's get with this.

If we don't find this man, I'm afraid

this is going to keep happening.

That's it.

- MAN 1:
All right. Everybody out!

- MAN 2:
Get out of here!

Make a straight line. Get over there.

- Come on. Get out of there.

- MAN 3:
Come on. Let's go.

Go on. Get out of here.

Get out of here!

Line up over here! Come on!

- All right, everybody out.

- MAN 4:
Let's go.

Make a straight line. Come on, get out.

All right, baby. Come on.

NURSE:
I called you 15 minutes ago

and they still aren't here.

I told you before, I'm a nurse.

Three of those women were nurses.

This man has been here

three nights in a row, peeking.

Please. Thank you.

[BUS HORN HONKS]

[GASPS]

[YELLING AND SHOOTING]

MCAFEE:
At it again.

All right, pal, let's go.

I love you.

[PHONE RINGS]

Hello?

Is this Mae?

- This is she.

- How are you tonight, Mae?

Oh, it's you. Uh, I'm fine.

- I didn't recognize your voice.

- Why not?

Sergeant, this is Grace Lockwood

at 73 Grove.
