I'm Kit. That for Katherine? Yeah. Mind if I record this? It depends
what we talk about. I used to live
in Glassell Park. Oh, yeah? What street? Verdugo. Off Eagle Rock. Good memory. No new memories in here
to replace the old. ( coughing ) ( coughing ) Are you sick? Always. ( clears throat ) You're a lawyer,

dressed like that? I'm interested in you. "Interested"
like I'm a zoo animal

out there waiting, waiting to see me? They want to
understand me. They don't. You won't either. At least they give me
something I can use. So those women that
come here to visit you are attracted to you? Is that so hard
to believe? Yes, actually. You gonna
insult me now? I mean, given
your history with women. Alleged history. ( sighs ) Some women
like that-- my alleged history. So, what are you
gonna give me? What do you need? To talk without this. I've been here
23 years. Solitary for 10. The only people I ever get
to smell are the guards, and they don't smell
so good, you know? I never get to touch
anyone. You're not gonna get to
touch me either, Richard. We'll see about that. GUARD:
Time's up. You come back here,
don't wear that. Gold is the metal

the Valley Intruder. You talking
about that creeper?
Hi, baby. Look, I'm about to go

She wrote for the papers, and she'd write
articles about how messed up
the whole thing was, how I'd never get
a fair shake because
my picture was on every channel
saying I did it. Hmm. She always believed
I was innocent. Were you? I don't believe
in innocence. I think Satan was
always inside me. Tell me what
you were like
as a child. Satan is a stabilizing
force in my life. Satanists need to have
more faith than Christians, because Christ was
seen and felt. Lucifer has never felt
the need to be seen, but in everyone's soul,
he can be felt. Well, if he can be felt
in everyone's soul, then why doesn't everyone
believe in him? Because people
don't want to know what's truly

you were. What else did you read about me
in your Night Stalker book? I read that you spent
a lot of time with
your cousin, Mike. Yeah. I hung out
with Mike a lot. He taught me
how to hunt, to sneak up
on an animal

interesting that they'd
describe him that way after what he did. I guess his teeth are
pretty gnarly, though. Why do you think he raped

a damn about your soul. You're like all

what I've sacrificed, and I know
I've got a place

you wrote about him-- the letters to the papers

a sane person. Why would you want

30 years waiting for him? What kind of masochist
would you have to be to waste your whole life

Why that night? That old lady

without pressing charges. What happened
to your passkey... Let's talk about you
for a minute. Oh. Remember? You're real with me,
I'm real with you? Go ahead. So you're
a lawyer, right? I am. How did you go to school?
Glassell Park wasn't rich. Believe me, I robbed
from those places.
They didn't have jack. I worked my way
through school. Where did you work? At a fetish club. Now we're getting
somewhere. Doing what? B.D.S.M. role play. What the hell is that? It can be
a lot of things.
You play the part the client wants. You have sex with them? No, never. You make a lot of money? Yes. You ever still do it? No. I knew there was
something about you. Okay.
My turn again. I bet you used to
fantasize about me, huh? Don't feel bad about it. Sometimes we want things
that society shames us for. Don't do that. What? Pair us off.
Compare our secrets. It's a matter of degrees. We are a product
of our times, and these
are bloodthirsty times. That's a scripted answer.
I've read that before. You want a different answer,
ask a new question. Okay. You're right.
You're absolutely right. I'm here because
there's another man
on death row. In Texas.
Harrison Johnson. He's set to die for murders
I don't think he committed, for murders I think
you committed. When? January 1978.
A mother and a son. Naoki and Yuko Kamori. What kind of names
are those? Japanese. Let me guess. They were killed
at the motel
where I worked. Don't get all excited. Do you think
I haven't been
paying attention? You just asked
me about the passkey. Well? So you came up here
to get me to cop to
some old murders in Texas? So... Johnson
can get a stay. Because he's innocent? You tell me. ( exhales sharply ) He can't have been
in jail since '78. Texas doesn't take
as long as California to kill off
their criminals. He got arrested in '08. So why do they think
he did these old murders? He got picked up
a few times for vagrancy and small crimes in El Paso
around the same time. He hung around
the motel, I guess. What did he look like? Uh, back then
he was skinny. Light-skinned
African American. Scar on his neck? Yeah. I remember that guy. He used to try to take
showers in the rooms, steal coffee
from the lobby. ( coughing ) Well, he eventually
got arrested for
beating a guy in a bar who turned out to be
related to a congressman. The guy fell back
and hit his head
on a broken barstool. He died
from the contusion. The prosecutor
was a friend
of the congressman. He dug up this cold case
and drew a connection. He wanted
the death penalty,
and he got it. So he was beating
some guy in a bar? Doesn't sound
so innocent to me. They didn't have
enough evidence
to convict him. He was just
in the wrong place
at the wrong time. ( sighs ) Do you ever worry
you're on the wrong side? Am I on
the wrong side,
Richard? You lawyers, you have to be
so sure about everything. You, with this. You read some files
and made a decision-- he's innocent--
for something that happened
so many years ago. I mean I just don't see
how you can be so sure. The pieces of evidence
tell a story. And when I read
that story, it was awfully familiar. KIT:<i>
The son was stabbed.</i> <i>The mother was cuffed,
finger cuffs, and raped.</i> <i>And then, stabbed also.</i> The knife was driven
into the side
of the neck and then dragged
straight across, severing both
the windpipe
and the arteries. Frankly, it reads like
a sloppier, less practiced
version of you. And you would know,
I guess. Yeah. It wasn't me. I don't believe you. I don't care
what you believe. I know you want
your little theory
to be true, you want to be
on the right side, but sometimes
you don't get to know if you're on
the right side or not. Uh... Do you think
you're evil,
Katherine? I think you are. Everyone has good
and evil in them. Personally, I'd like
to be 100% evil, but I can't. I'm too easygoing
sometimes. Everyone has
hate and anger. Some people can
cope with it. I can't. My hate and anger
grow to a level that I can't live
comfortably with it. When that happens, I have to act on it. Richard, did you act on it
in the motel in 1978? What do you do
with your hate and anger? Did you ever want
to act on it? To kill someone? This is the problem
with you. I don't care about you. You give me
no reason to. And I bet you don't give
anyone else a reason either. Maybe that's why
you're all alone. Maybe it has nothing
to do with choice. Maybe you spend
so much of your life
hiding who you really are that you ended up
being no one. Get him out!
Get him outside! ( door shuts ) GUARD:

My phone is dead. Ramirez is
in the hospital. <i> The warden called me
when he couldn't reach you. </i> Where? Tell me you got
something, Kit. I can't tell you that. What is happening
out there? I'll call you back. GUARD:
I heard you were coming. Hey, Charlie. What happened? He had an episode
last night. Bashed his head
pretty hard
on his cell door. Is he conscious? In and out. Want me in there
with you? No, I'm all right. ( monitor beeping ) ( monitor beeping ) And you said
I'd never get out. Pretty extreme way
to get a change
of scenery. I got to admit,
I'm surprised. You seemed fine
yesterday. I never thought
it made much sense to show off
your weaknesses. ( coughing ) ( machine warbling ) Okay, Richard. You said if you were
gonna tell me the truth, then I need to
tell you the truth. So here it goes. Your... sexual impulses were formed when your cousin
showed you those
awful pictures. Mine were formed
when your acts, your... your face were all over
the news. And I was scared, but... somehow that became
part of it. So... while my mom's boyfriend made me have sex
with him, at first it felt
like I thought it was
supposed to feel. Scary and painful. I fantasized
about killing him. Pushing something into him
that he didn't want, over and over, something that would
hurt him. ( sighs ) I thought about how you would
do it without hesitating, and you didn't even
have a reason. I... envied you. So I stabbed him. ( groaning ) God!
( groans ) <i>He took his stuff,
and he left.</i> And he never told my mom
about the stabbing. And... I never... told her
about the rape. I never told anybody
about it. ( sniffles ) I used the passkey. Can you say that
again, please? I used the passkey,
like you said. I killed
the Asian lady
and her kid, with an eight-inch knife that I got from my... father's hunting kit. ( phone vibrates ) I used finger cuffs
that I'd gotten from the Army-Navy store. There's others too. Other--
Other victims? ( phone vibrates ) ( groans ) Richard, will you
say your name
and today's date? Richard Ramirez. It's... June 7, 2013. June 7, 2013. Is there... anything you would know
that no one else would about the day,
about the victims? ( phone vibrates ) The mother
was a bitch. She treated her kid
like crap. He was retarded. Or deaf, maybe. ( phone vibrates ) <i> Or deaf, maybe.</i> ( vibrates ) Tell me about
the others. ( soft chuckle ) Some things are best kept
between me and Satan. I'm not recording
anymore, Richard. It's just you and me. ( breathing heavily ) ( rattling ) ( breathing accelerates ) Don't go thinking just because you told me
your sad little story that you mean
something to me. I gave you a gift, and I made your career... your life. That's the power
I hold. You're not special
to me. You're just
another nobody, and you don't deserve
my secrets. ( raspy breathing ) ( machine warbling ) ( shuddering gasps ) ( monitor beeping rapidly ) ( footsteps approaching
