The Grim Sleeper Page #3

Synopsis: The Grim Sleeper follows LA Weekly reporter Christine Pelisek (Walker) as she doggedly investigates the unsolved murders of dozens of women in Los Angeles and soon realizes one person is responsible for many of these deaths that began over 20 years earlier. After a string of murders in the 1980s, the violence seemed to end; but almost 14 years later, another murder spree begins, leading Pelisek to dub the killer "The Grim Sleeper." The reporter-turned-amateur detective notices similarities between the cases and sets out to break the story of her career, researching evidence and interviewing witnesses for clues to the killer's identity. While police and lead detectives (Hudson, O'Neill) kept the community in the dark about a potential serial killer on the loose, Pelisek contacts the victims' families to offer them the truth about what may have happened to their daughters, sisters, wives and mothers. When the only known survivor (Gray) comes forward to tell her side of the story, pieces

- Tell me everything you know.

Pretty please, just

tell me everything.

Asking nicely, that's

a new tactic for you.

Hi, Debra, it's Christine. I don't think I'm

gonna be able to come in today,

I'm feeling pretty under the weather

today. Thank you, bye.

Ma'am, do you have an appointment?

- Yes, with Detective Sims.

Det. Sims, hello, Christine Pelisek,

LA Weekly. We spoke on the phone.

How did you get back here?

I'm resourceful. - If you wanna talk to me,

you need to call and make appointment.

I did call, and you blew me off.

And now we have another murder,

just like Monica Dender. - I don't

discuss ongoing investigation.

I wonder if you think that could be

a serial killer running around L. A.?

There are a lot of similarities

in these cases.

It's alright, I'll handle it.

- Oh, you think you gonna 'handle me'?

Let's see how you handle my lawyer,

when I sue you for slandering my sister.

You told the media that she was a

prostitute and she was not such thing!

She was just a kid. - You wanna come to my

office and we will discuss this privately?

Oh, we gonna discuss it.

Get her out of here and don't

let her come back here. - Yes, sir.

First, my condolences

for your loss.

What I want is a damn apology

and official retraction.

What, you think because the girl is black

and in the bad neighborhood, she must...

be turn a tricks? We live in Encino, for

God's sake! My father is a fashion designer,

my mother was a doctor and Zarina was a

sophomore in a high school, not a prostitute!

Your sister's phone was

found with her body.

And the most frequently called number on

that phone turned up to belong to a man,

who is well known to us as a pimp.

And he confirmed that Zarina has been one

of his girls on and off for weeks now.

Hey, are you Zarina's sister?

She was three, when a

social worker brought her to us.

They said it was the worst case of

abuse, they've ever seen.

She couldn't speak a word,

she could barely walk.

Her real father kept her

tied up from the time she was a baby.

He did awful things to her.

So I don't understand

how she could've been...

Doing what they

say she was doing.

I found her last night.

And I didn't like

what she had to say.

So I left.

I left her...

God, I feel like I'm burning...

Like I'm already in hell.

And I am burning, like my

body is gonna burn up.

I know. - No, you don't know!

You have no idea!

I had a sister.

She was like a sister to me,

she was my best friend.

Her name was Mollie McMann.

You think 'cause you know somebody

that died, you know how I feel?

It was right before college

and we're gonna be roommates.

She wanted to go
