I Drive at night.
The police radio is my complice,
looking to answers to questions I'm only learning how to ask,
about things adults dismiss.
but children are right to fear.
Shapes that lurk in the darkness,
Nightmares that intrude from another place,
Forces that spring not from our imagination
but live among us, unseen.
These forces have taken something from me,
something can never recover...
So I stalk at night,
looking and knowing
our fear of the dark never really goes away.
We just learn to pretend
It's not there.
Don't forget this.
I would never be able...
- I could call sick, you know. - Oh yeah?
And how are we gonna make the house payements then?
You're going to bed now?
In a minute.
Henry?
Night Stalker Episode 1 : Pilot.
Perri Reed, of the Beacon.
The press passes...
I was hopping to speak with the detective in charge,
ask him a few questions.
Oh I think he's already answered your questions, Miss Reed.
- We just got here - Yes madame, you did.
But another reporter from your paper is already here.
Hey there...
you are from the Beacon?
Carl Kolchak.
Hi, I am Perri Reed and this is Jain McManus.
We're from the Beacon.
You can go.
Excuse me ?
Obviously it's a mix-up but...
I've got the assignement, you can go.
Do you even work for the Beacon, Mr.... Rorshak?
Kolchak.
Today it is my first day.
Yeah...well...
The mix-up's yours Mr. Kolchak,
because....
this is my story.
Look, i've already got this story...
and it's not the one they're padding to thoses clowns outside either.
I even took the photos...
What is the story?
Emily Gale, aged 32...
reported missing by her husband Henry, 37
When he came home this morning from his job, he's a nightwatcher,
signs of violence suggest ****play
Is that it?
No that's not it.
Well what else do you have?
I have confidential sources... Mrs Reed.
First day of job and you got confidential sources?
Yeah, what does those sources tell you, hum?
That even though nobody has been found,
they think this is a murder.
With husband Henry prime suspect.
They even have a nice juicy motive...
Which is?
You would like to know ...
Yeah... I would.
and I intent to...
No one actually gave you the assignement, did they, Carl?
Well, You asked me to cover crime , did you not, Tony?
- That is my beat, you cant just..... - Perri, please.
You know, most people come in the office
meet their colleagues,
get a desk
before they start snagging stories
- I thought you'd value my entreprise. - And I do Carl.
But Perri is the senior crime reporter at this paper
- She's the senior crime reporter? - I've been here four years.
Do you know how long I've covered crimes?
- Do I care ? - The two of you are expected to get along
Is that clear?
Trust me...
Yes.
Good.
The story's hers.
- Cray... - Detective Cray..., Perri Reed.
I'm calling about that missing woman in the desert
Emily Gale. We heared you guys are treating this as a murder case..
None of my guys would source information like that.
I can't give you anyting beyond the official statement, all right?
Thank you.
How is it going?
I need to know who your sources are.
A good reporter always protects his sources.
Kolchak, you hearded what Vincent just said.
- This is my history. - Of course it is , and you can use my information if you want it.
No, I can't. Not without knowing who your sources are.
Perri.
You do wanna know the nice juicy motive, don't you ?
What is it?
Emily Gale was pregnant.
And that's why they think he killed her.
Yo!!
Hey, what are they saying?
Officially, Gale's been questionned for the murder of his pregnant wife.
A foetus was torned from her body.
Oh, man.... torned how ?
It doesn't say.
and they're still looking for the murder weapon.
- It's just like Kolchak said..? - Yep.
How did he know ?
Mr. Medlock?
- I sorry for your loss. - Do we have to do this?
A member of the familly has to make the identification.
Honney, the doctor needs to see daddy and me alone for a minute.
Are you ok waiting here?
It is a little scary , isn't it?
The bodies of dead people used to scare me too.
Until I realised that ...
the people living in those bodies...
they're not there anymore.
they went some place else.
I am still afraid......
Of what?
Of what's out there.
- Who are you? - Carl Kolchak, I am a reporter
Honey, please wait out there.
How the hell did you get in here?
I am writing about your sister's death.
- The police thinks your brother in law killed her... - Of course he did..!
How dare you come in here?
Come on let's go
Mrs. Medlock?
- Come to gloss? - well you've got the story.
Yeah, the same one as every one else.
Not necessarily.
What is that?
Emily Gale's brother and his wife.
What? Did you talk to them ?
Yeah, we had a little chat in the morgue.
May I....
Of course, it's for you
He believes that his brother-in-law is guilty
but the wife doesn't.
I doesn't see where she said that
She didn't exactly but she gave me this look
A Look ?
She gave you a look?
She obviously believes he's innocent.
I see....
So who does she believe killed Emily Gale?
Well that's up to you to find out
But if you want a fresh angle
That's the lead.
Carl...
Why can't you let this story go?
Just going out to the store, I will be right back, pettunia.
Julie ?
I just returned from the hospital
where my wife, Trish,
is in the I.C.U ,
fighting for her life.
My daughter is out there, somewhere...
If you tooked Julie...
please bring her back.....
I'm begging you
Carl...
Thank you.
How did it go ?
A lot of questions, but no answers.
The theorie being now they are looking for a serial killer of somekind
they think that the girl is dead?
They aren't telling the father that.
Hey, you may wanna call Henry Gale attorney,
to see if he feels talking now the charges have been dropped
Wow.
Kolchak, I'd thought you'd walked out and get that interview for yourself.
I did actually.
Without asking me first?
Hey, he wouldn't returne my calls
and as your the senior crime reporter..
Uh that's a good thinking Carl, but uh, the interview has already been granted
Really?
Do you want to come?
Has Dumby done something to piss you off?
You know I had that Henry Gale interview, before you asked, didn't you?
Yeah I did
that's what I thought...
And Medlock thought you killed his sister Mr. Gale.
Have you spoken to your brother-in-law?
I know what he told you.
I guess.
there are no answers,
people care desperate for an explanation.
Sometimes,
they believe the unbelievable
Did you see, or hear anything
before you left ?
Like...say...an animal?
An animal?
Yeah um...
sometimes...
coyotes come down to get of the garbage cans.
but they can't get anything of it.
Did you...
actually see these coyotes?
No. Why? is that important?
Thanks, Mr. Gale
What was that about ?
Good morning... good morning...
Agent Fain.
Agent Fain, hi, I am Perri Reed, of the L.A Beacon.
How can I help you, Peeri Reed, from the L.A Beacon?
I am calling you about Carl Kolchak.
Carl Kolchak. Where is he?
He works with me, here at the Beacon.
Is that right?
I know he used to work for that paper there in Las Vegas and that he was been questioned regarding a murder case.
are you gonna write a story about this, Mrs Reed? 'cause none of Kolchak's buddies out here in Vegas would..
Is there a story?
Ah, hell yes, there is, if you're willing it to write it.
Carl Kolchak is a murderer.
Hey you got a minute?
Yeah, sure
When you asked Henry Gale about an animal.
it got me thinking...
These are shots I took from the Gale home and the motel.
I wasn't trying to photographe the dirt... but look.
Tracks
They are pretty al just partials..
but then I found this.
- Oh, an ambulance? - No...
Behind it.
What the hell is it, Kolchak?
Mrs. Reed?
- Agent Fain, thank you for taking your time - of course
What do you want me to see out here ?
This is where Kolchak killed his wife.
Are you sure about that?
Of course that's not his story.
Kolchak said he pulled over to avoid the ahead collision.
Carl!
That's when he said it happened.
Who was it?
he said he never got a good look at it.
he claimed that whatever it was,
it wasn't human.
Pretty convenient.
Don't you think?
Killing his wife, leaving him alive.
He was never charged?
Insufficient evidence.
I have answered to your questions Mrs Reed,
now answer mine.
Why are you investigating Carl Kolchak?
The ambulance was parked back there when I tooked the picture.
Which means that....
Whatever it was.. it was running over here.
How do you know that ?
These marks
one is set here, and one over there....
So... there's two of these things ?
At least,
but no drag marks.
Dragmarks?
Yeah, Emily Gale must've been dragged.
There are no dragmarks here and no blood.
Which means what ?
Well maybe they didn't drag her off but mayby they carry her off..
Instead of looking for the body, the police should be looking for that little girl alive.
I don't understand, what kind of animal carry's off a little girl ?
Who has said that this thing was an animal?
It is not an animal but it leaves tracks.
Ok, now you're freaking me out....
Perri? What's going on?
if it isn't my old friend Carl.
Agent Fain.
I have talked to the autorities out here, Carl.
It seems that this case that your're , um...
investigating.....
has uncanny similarities to your wife's murder.
What ?
- Where is he? - He's still being questionned.
I understand that I have you to thank you for this?
You knew what had happened in Las Vegas and didn't say anything.
That is nobody's business.
hiring a murderer?
Accused murderer.
That's reassuring.
It's not my job to reassure you.
Were you aware that Kolchak claims some sort of beast has killed his wife and
- a judge hold him held for a psychiatric evaluation? - as I can see,
you already entered in this story.
After six months, the FBI still considers him as a suspected.
That's all he is.
Regardless of how you feel about him,
you have to wonder why he has been so interessed in this case from the very beginning.
You mean why a man would worry about a story that closly mirrors his own?
5 years ago I'm working at a nightdesk at the Vegas Daily News
when this kid walks in..
He tells me that he's got proof that Freemar holdings is paying of city officers
The Freemar glass case?
That kid was Kolchak.
It turned into to biggest corruption scandale of Nevada's history. It made my career.
And his.
For two years, he lived that story for 24/7 .
The D.A brought 32 inditments, they got 28 convictions.
But the caper is...
The day old men Freemar himself was convicted.
Kolchek hasn't no shown
Where was he?
Irene was sick, he stayed home to take care of her.
And he missed..
the biggest day
of the biggest story of his carreer.
So do I think Kolchak went to pieces when his wife died? Of course I do.. But killed her?
The prisoner emerges
Have they done with you?
For now..
all they have is their fervent imagination.
Thanks for the lift
Kolchak?
When I went to the FBI,
I was just asking questions.
I didn't mean to get you arrested
But you aren't sure I'm innocent either, are you ?
Perri?
- This is your house, right? - Yeah
Why is your front door busted open?
Oh, my God.....
agent Fain, I presume
Let me help you clean this up,
I need a beer, what about you?
Sure !!
- Is a bottle OK ? - That's fine.
That's one of my wife.
Why would you keep these
looks at her left hand.
- What is it? - I don't know .
But she didn't have it before she die.
The same marks here in Seattle, 5 months ago.
and Again in Sacramento, 6 weeks ago.
And again, and again, and again....
So You're telling me, all these people were killed by the same thing that killed your wife?
That's just it... don't know anymore
Laura Brown, convinced that someone's going to burn her to death, she locked herself in her house.
The next morning, her body's found incinerated
by 2500 degrees heath.
but the floor beneath her wasn't even singed.
Dan Borjia kills himself in Idaho. This suicide note confesses the three murders,
correct in every detail.
Only the murders were commited
after his death.
Andre and Arlene Bormanos moved into an old house with two children..
they reported strange sounds. They think they have a ghost.
The police ignored them.
Until they're all found hanging in the attic
- I don't understand the connections... - I don't neither
But there is one..
You never had any confidential sources, did you ?
You knew Emily's gale murder would match your wife's, before the police did.
How?
Maybe it's like agent Fain said,
Maybe I now because I did killed her...
or.....
The body of a drifter that was found in the dessert last week, not 2 miles from Emly Gale's house...
She was killed the same way.
But if you knew that they were coming for someone,
Why wouldn't you go get help?
From who? From a psychiatrist?
Why kill that women and take that litle girl?
Why kill your wife?
and why not you?
My wife had a secret that she was gonna tell me
the night she died.
I didn't found out what it was untill... the autopsy.
She was pregnant.
they tort the foetus from her body.
Did Emily Gale have that same mark on her body?
I don't know. They won't release the autopsy photos
So what about all these other people?
you're telling me they all have this mark?
Most off them don't.
But some do.
All these strange deaths,
they are like pieces in a puzzle, a puzzle that I'm trying to put together..
Something terrible is happening.
but no one sees it cause No one wants to.
I think I can use that beer now.
You think I'm crazy, don't you?
I think it's like the man said,
he despertly want an explanation,
- so he believed the unbelievable. - That little girl is still out there,
and I'm the only one that's asking questions that could save her..
Yeah ?
Ok, I'll be right there...
that was Jain.
he just responded to a call about some wild animals near a girl school.
What happened?
The girl inside hearded a scratching.
When the head-mistress went to have a look she saw something ran off,
she told the police it was an animal.
is that what you're racing us on ?
well, uh that, and those tracks we found down at the motel..
they're here too..
- that's why they left... - The lights?
They're motion sensors.
You look here...
What it show?
That these things Kolchak is looking for, were here...
Or... wolves, coyote or armadillos for all I know.
Armadillos?
all I'm saying is that these proof of yours
is anything worth.
What are you doing?
hunting.
Give me the keys.
What for?
You can wait with Helmer Flight, I've had enough.
Are you ok?
Kolchak!
It's a coyote.
what?
The common cannines I've transferred came through North America...
That doesn't look like any coyote I've ever seen.
It was baddly maggled when Kolchak hit it son.
Well let us see the body so we can give independt confirmation of your findings.
that is not possible.
Why not?
The animal control picked up the body an half hour ago
it's been cremated.
You gotta be kidding me.
We can write the story anyway.
- Saying what? - What happened...
You know, what really happened.
What? That we saw a Coyote and we mistook it for something else?
The hardest places in hell are reserved for those who in times of moral crisis remain neutral ...
Jain...
- What are you talking about ? - Did that look like a coyote to you?
No, it didn't
But why would they lie ?
Because Fain is so desperate to put me away, he'd supprress every evidence that links my wife death to Emily Gale's .
agent Fain told me there were human footprints in the dirt outside
- of Emily gale's house. - Well Then why wouldn't he release the autopsy photos?
Because he knows what they show
That Emily Gale's body has the same mark as Irene's dead.
And if she didn't?
I 've got Fain to release the photos.
I'm sorry Kolchak...
She doesn't have the mark..
I know how badly you want answers Carl,
to know who....
who'd killed your wife.
She was afraid.
Your wife?
That little girl. Julie.
When I have met her she said she was..
"afraid of what is out there"
she probably knew the killer.
She is not dead Perri.
I know you want to believe that Carl, and....
trust me....
so do I.
- But it's been two days. - There were not dragmarks outside the motel, and no blood.
I am telling you...
they carried her away.
They?
Maybe....
these aren't the same things that killed my wife.
Whatever they are, they killed Emily Gale and they took that little girl.
So these animals.....
they have...purpose?
intelligence?
Somebody ordered a tighty hot coffee....
What is it?
Come on..
Come on...? I got that coffees....
The stuff that I sprayed outside the school, is kind of a chemical lowjack.
What is it tracking?
The other one of the coyotes,... I guess.
This is near where Emily Gale's body was found.
The signal is coming from that cave
- What happened? - We lost the signal.
you think she's down here?
I intend to find out
Are you going down there ?
That's what I have in mind, yeah
- Take this. - What is it?
a cattle prod
Don't you have like gun or something..?
- Seriously I think a gun might be better. - Have you ever used a gun before?
- No. - That's what I thought.
- I never used a cattle prod either. - Shhh.
Did you hearded that ?
That's her.
What is it?
I don't know..
That was bats.
great..
That's no little girl
You think we went the wrong way?
I don't think so.
Julie!
Here...
Julie!
We will get you out of here okay?
We will take you home.
- Carl ? - Yeah I got her...
I need you to jump.
Don't look down... look at me....
Kolchak!
I am afraid....
I won't let you fall ok?
I promise.
I won't let you fall...
look at me... look at me...
I've got you. I've got you.
let's go.
Don't let... me.
- Missing girl rescueded from cave -
Good morning.
Do you want to explain me about the story you wrote?
What about it?
It says the police is still looking for whoever kidnapped the little girl...
They are...
Julie can't remember anything about how she get into that cave..
But that's not the point.
You didn't write what we saw....
What you believe...
how long would I last in the job if I write what I believed, how long would you?
The public has a right to know.
The public? The public doesn't want to know.
look ...
These are things I need to find out, to understand for myself.
And when you'll get your answers....
Well, then I'll print them...
Then they'll believe , then they'll have too
I'm watching you..
Well you are the senior crime reporter?
yes I am..
That reminds me,
I've been covering crimes for 4 years ....
How long have you?
Five.
That's what I thought.
As a reporter I seek answers to the questions that haunt me..
But the stories, the real stories,
you won't find them printed in any newspaper.
Stories of strange deaths
endless suffering
horrors we can only pretend to explain.
These are the stories I live to write
Driven by the faith that one day,
people will read them and understand...
Haunted by the fear that the answers I seek lie not in the darkness without
but the darkness..
Within....
