[Music] foreign [Music] called me Mad Max according to Gelman he was a mid-level drug dealer working in South Brooklyn moving tens of thousands of dollars of cocaine and oxycontin a week by his account he became a successful drug dealer by other accounts he was a user who did a little dealing to procure drugs but in early February 2011 he becomes convinced the feds are on to him I went purchased a kilo of cocaine and when I was driving back the Brooklyn Bridge every car that was around me had official plates all these cars were following me and my cell phone was dying very fast the battery my text messages were messed up and my cell phone was calling people by itself at that time I kind of put it together Fed so they tap my cell phone and they were following me that night Gelman claims he was paranoid and desperate he comes up with a plan it's best that I just lay low and don't do anything from now on so that night I ordered some tickets to Dominican Republic but first he needs his passport and to say goodbye to the most important person in his life the one woman he loved and trusted completely his mother My real father died in Russia I never even seen him so five in the morning I ended up going to my mother's house to get my passport and I'm waking her up listen I just need my passport you know I got into some things and I had the feds on me and I have to lay low and she thought I was drunk Gilman and his mother have always protected each other ever since emigrating from the Ukraine when he was just seven so she takes my keys you can be driving you've been drinking I'm like Mom listen this is serious I gotta get out of here and now my stepfather comes in Gilman despised his stepfather so this guy comes in stinking this fat ugly Russian with some dirty briefs and a gut talking all kind of obscenities in Russian I was paranoid and I was angry I don't want to hear it so I stabbed him when the kitchen knife begging for help screaming for my mother called the police call the police he's killing me he's killing me when the kitchen knife breaks during the attack Gelman turns to a carving Fork Mad Max stabs his stepfather a total of 55 times [Music] my mother she picked up the phone and I looked at her and like she's not going to call the police and I kept stabbing him I didn't think none of it she picked up the phone and she called the police and I was shocked I was like my own mother called the police on me I love my mother I would never hurt my mother took the keys and I left NYPD learns from Gilman's mother that he is driving a 2004 silver Lexus they issue a bolo alert to patrol units in Sheepshead Bay as Gelman drives on a twisted logic takes hold of him I realized I got the feds on me and now I just caught a body and probably not going to come home anytime soon if he's going down he's not going down alone the people that were snitching on me they're working with the feds and people have done things to me all these people in Gilman's sick mind Must Die [Music] why because they were rats gelman's number one target 20 year old Elena bolchenko a former friend who lives only four blocks from his mother's house 10 a.m at yelena's house it's the start of a usual day for her mother Anna who works out of her home as a travel agent her mother opened the door she invited me in and I was like where's Elena Anna knows exactly where her daughter is that a friend's house two blocks away I was like where's Elena she's like she's at work I'm like where does she work and she wouldn't tell me she was like why are you asking all these questions she told me she's like okay okay I'll tell you where she is and she tried to trick me and then she ran for the door she opened the door and it was a neighbor outside I ended up kicking the door closed so he didn't see it and she ran to the kitchen where she had like a wooden knife set and I found a big knife and I'm thinking I can't get Elena because she's not here might as well get her mother because she's the closest person to her Gelman stabs Anna with the big kitchen knife a dozen times [Music] while stabbing her she said you know I'll never tell you what my daughter is I drove by King's Highway I was looking for Elena's job she worked as a dental assistant on Kings Highway Jelena found her mother's body called 9-1-1 and was on the phone in a quite a hysterical tone at the same time Elena is calling 9-1-1 Gelman decides to drive by Elena's house one last time at Elena's house she waits outside for police and fire rescue to arrive I pulled up in her driveway I have the knife tucked in my sleeve so when I walked up to her all her neighbors were outside she ran to our neighbors grabbed one in the neighbor's hand one of the neighbors tries to intervene and Max goes around him he was waving the knife slashing at the neighbor's coat the Elena's hooked on the back of him for dear life saying he's gonna kill me please help me somebody The Neighbors in the middle they get into a wrestling match Gelman overpowers the neighbor and pushes him away he then stabs Elena with the same kitchen knife he used on her mother just a couple steps fell down I got back in the car I backed up then I was like maybe she's not dead picked her hit by up by her hair he had cut her throat from side to side try to chop her head off while Gilman is still stabbing her fire rescue responding to Elena's 9-1-1 call for her mother's murder approaches the house one fireman sees the kit sees Max and chases him down the block but Gilman manages to outrun him and speeds off in his car within minutes Patrol units begin rushing to Elena's house Gelman immediately abandons his Lexus in the middle of the street and approaches a nearby Pontiac the driver has no idea he's facing a triple murderer I mean I went to the guy knocked on his window said excuse me sir the guy lowered his window I jumped through his window pulled out the knife I told him get the out the car [Music] the guy just looked at me like I'm crazy you know he wasn't taking me seriously Gilman stabs the driver twice jumped out the car and I drove away the 57 year old man is taken to the hospital in critical condition he came fairly close to dying he was seriously hurt but he manages to survive I just needed the cars I didn't want to kill artists and people I needed to get around but you're stabbing them they're not going to give up the car just like that at a nearby intersection 62 year old Stephen Tannenbaum is crossing the street I heard something a noise on the roof I didn't even see anything all I seen was a crack in the windshield and the guy in the flying over the car Pontiac that he had just stolen smashes into Mr Taliban Tannenbaum a rare coin expert is taken to the hospital where he is pronounced dead responding cops soon connect tannenbaum's hit and run to Gilman 12 hours into gelman's Rampage Darkness Falls over Brooklyn and he has disappeared I just laid in the car so it was morning time 24 hours since Gilman's Killing Spree began Queens New York car wouldn't start by 8 35 am Gilman is in Manhattan on a southbound train NYPD quickly zeros in on gelman's train one that's just pulling out of Times Square so somewhere between 34th Street and Times Square the police realized that they are close to him they immediately radio the motorman of the train [Music] then they stopped the train and there's an ongoing police investigation Gilman realizes he's been spotted and is cornered on a train stop between stations so I jumped off the train into the train tunnel to train tracks and I seen the police were entering with the flashlights I had my knife and my jacket tucked in Gilman is trapped then he sees a possible escape a train slowly moving in the opposite direction I jumped onto the woven train in between cars I went to the conductors booth knocked on the door I said this is official business open the door this is official business and because that way they think you know there's some kind of emergency and they would open the door like I'm one of them so if I get the conductor you know I'll put the knife to him and I could hijack the train to get out of there and I said it even louder and this is official business open the door right now so I took out the knife I went to stab the police officer I missed them by like an inch want to stab them in the stomach he slammed the door right away and this bald guy was all nosy what was going on he was right there he was staring at me the bald man is six foot three 270 pound Joe lozito lozito throws Gelman off balance together they fall on the subway floor and he's behind my head doing this to the back of my head and I'm hearing him grunt I'm hearing him going now I have blood pouring out of both sides of my neck during the fight one of the officers in the conductor's cabin sees an opening and while I was stabbing him a police officer came out and pulled out the gun cop was a big guy you know pointed the gun at me but I was still stabbing the guy so he put the gun away back in his holster and he grabbed both of my arms he overpowered [Music] and that's how he caught me after 28 hours four murders four wounded immeasurable Mayhem chaos and destruction the cold-blooded killer is finally apprehended in Times Square Gelman pleads guilty to four counts of murder and multiple counts of robbery assault and carjacking I was like I wouldn't want to be in a mental hospital for the rest of my life because there's people that are really mental
