Don't Answer the Phone!

Hello dori?

Hi mom!

Aunt Sophie's back home!

Hey that's great, I'm really glad to know

aunt Sophie's out of that hospital.

Even though she lives in Florida

and I've only met her twice.

Don't you care about your family?

Of course I care about the family.

Well what are you gonna do tonight?

Uh, I guess I'm just gonna stay home tonight.

Yeah, you know, watch some TV and rest.

Alone?

Yeah alone!

Well I'm alone too.

Yeah we're two lonely people.

I'll come right over.

Um, not tonight mom.

I'll see you tomorrow.

You never want to see me.

Don't you care about your mother anymore?

Of course I do!

I love you!

Well I love you too, mom!

And I'll see you tomorrow, okay?

- I coming up tomorrow and I'm - uh huh.

- Gonna rearrange your life. - Yeah.

I have a lot

- yes. - Of ideas that I think

I should throw against

the wall. - Yeah.

Look mom we'll talk about it tomorrow, okay?

Okay, 'night.

The city's fifth rape-murder victim

of the month was just found this morning,

leading police to speculate that we may have

a mad killer-rapist prowling our streets.

Each of the victims has been strangled to death

and there have been similarities of sexual abuse

and disposition of the bodies.

Women in the Los Angeles area are urged to use caution

when venturing outside, most especially after dark.

Now on a somewhat more positive note,

the weatherman has promised another beautiful day today

with a civic center high of 82,

dipping down to an overnight low of 66.

Pardon me, I'm a photographer scouting for new models...

And that's it for another edition of kvla news.

What's up doc? - Yeah did you put 'em

to sleep again?

You bet I did.

Hang on, coming up.

Good morning, welcome to the last segment

of kvla's dayline, hosted by Dr. Lindsay Gale.

Dr. Gale is a practicing psychologist

licensed by the state board of medicine.

Here's my card if you'd like

to have me take your photographs.

Hey what do you think you're doing?

I've been sitting around the corner in the car

waiting for half an hour.

Okay I was standing here waiting for you.

Yeah talking to some creep.

Come on, let's go.

She's authored two books on abnormal psychology.

In keeping with station policy,

we ask callers not to disclose their personal identities.

And now, Dr. Gale.

Thank you and good morning out there.

Before we begin again I'd like to remind you

that this program is not designed to treat people

with serious mental illnesses.

I can't provide in-depth therapy over-the-air so,

in these few short hours i try to deal with people

who are facing a temporary problem or two.

And remember, any subject is fair game,

sex, marriage, children, whatever.

Good morning you're on-the-air with Lindsay Gale!

My name is Cathy.

My little boy ties up his toys in ropes and chains

and throws them against the wall.

Sounds like a very angry young man.

He also cut up his goldfish with scissors

and he threatened to do the same thing to his little sister.

Do you think I should do something about his behavior?

I'm going to put you with Fred and he will

refer you to a therapy group who can help you.

Thank you.

Good morning you're on-the-air with Dr. Lindsay Gale.

Hello Dr. Gale!

'(O soy Ramona!

How are you!

I called you last week!

Of course the man with the headaches.

How are you feeling today?

I feel real good.

Fine.

Did you see a doctor about those tests we talked about?

Ramona'?

I mean it's all right, 'cause,

I'm-a lots better now!

I'd like to believe that,

but you don't sound better to me.

Please consider what we discussed last week,

will you do that for me ramone?

But I do feel better!

I have found the answer to my problems!

Ptha!

A nurse, you know, a real good woman.

That's very fortunate for you ramone.

However I don't think that a relationship

with a woman is exactly what you're needing right now.

Tell me how does she feel about the problem?

Ramona'?

Hello ramone?

Ramona!

- Carter? - Yes sir!

Get me a shot of this.

Yes sir.

Did you get a shot of that breast?

Which one?

She's got two you know.

The one that was nearly bitten off, god-dammit.

Give me a mold of that breast,

'cause I want to take some tooth impressions.

Hey, I already have.

Very healthy lady.

Hey you're a very funny man

but the last thing i need in my life

right now is a comedian, okay?

Now was she sexually assaulted?

Whoo, every orifice she's got.

Anything else?

Well I got a sperm sample,

I got a sample of his skin

that was underneath her fingernails.

And I got six pieces of hair,

it looks like four from his head

and I got a couple of pubics.

Pubic hairs.

Hey McCabe.

That candy wrapper that was found,

is that the same brand kogen and mcclosky found

at the first murders?

What do you got babe?

A piece of burnt cardboard from a film box.

In the ashtray here.

Carter? - Yes sir!

Look around for a camera, will you?

Yes sir!

Hey, make a note on those stockings,

see if it's the same brand found at the first murders.

The knot looks the same.

Oh...

What's with this hatch?

Oriental style, popular with the viet cong.

But what I can't figure out,

is why bother with the coin.

Hatch the coin's obvious.

The girl's response is probably simulated sexual excitement,

so he just twists the stocking, on and off,

back and forth like a water faucet.

He must have kept her squirming for several minutes.

That sick son of a bitch.

Maybe we're looking for a Vietnam vet?

Could be.

Great, we got his pubic hairs,

now we can match them with every known vet

in L.A. and get our man.

I want this bastard.

Hello Carl.

Hi Dr. Gale.

Can I see you today?

Uh, I have someone coming in right now, can you wait?

Okay-

okay great, come on in.

At uh, at night he'd hang around,

and watch me undress, and, and then he'd touch me.

And you let him?

Do you always,

did you always let your father have his way

even though you felt it was wrong?

Yes.

I'm sorry.

He'd yell at me, you know...

And I, and I, I couldn't stand to have him

get mad at me and yell, , I couldn't stand it.

Do you still give in and go out of your way

to avoid conflicts and arguments?

Mm hmm, yeah, i uh, I can't uh,

yeah I can't, yeah i get nervous.

And, uh, I can't stand it when

somebody gets angry with me, i just get very frightened.

It's the problem area you have to work on.

You must learn to assert yourself.

You have to believe that your feelings do count,

and that what you feel does matter,

and that you have a right to express what you feel.

I'm trying.

No trying's not good enough,
