NARRATOR: The film
which you are about to see
4
00:00:38,668 --> 00:00:43,757
is an account of the crimes committed
by Karen Bird and Jack Blueblood.
5
00:00:43,882 --> 00:00:49,638
By June of 1974, they would
be responsible for 11 homicides
6
00:00:49,763 --> 00:00:52,682
and wanted dead or alive
in six US states.
7
00:01:04,945 --> 00:01:08,240
Karen Bird was born in the shadow
of the Appalachian Mountains
8
00:01:08,365 --> 00:01:12,786
in Chattanooga, Tennessee,
on January 24th 1956.
9
00:01:12,911 --> 00:01:14,955
She weighed six pounds eight ounces
10
00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:19,751
and was described by the hospital staff
as being a particularly pleasant baby.
11
00:01:21,336 --> 00:01:24,214
Jack Blueblood was born a half-breed
seven years earlier
12
00:01:24,339 --> 00:01:27,425
on an Indian reservation
in South Dakota.
13
00:01:28,301 --> 00:01:30,387
His father was a Lakota Sioux
14
00:01:30,512 --> 00:01:34,182
and his mother, who died giving birth,
was Irish Catholic.
15
00:01:35,934 --> 00:01:39,646
Try as he might, Jack's father
could never forgive his son
16
00:01:39,771 --> 00:01:42,065
for taking away the love of his life.
17
00:01:42,190 --> 00:01:44,276
(BEATING)
18
00:01:45,860 --> 00:01:50,490
Not a day went by that young Jack
wasn't reminded of his guilt.
19
00:01:50,615 --> 00:01:56,621
Unlike Jack, Karen grew up
a model child in a model American town.
20
00:01:56,746 --> 00:02:00,709
The only symptom of her budding
misbehavior was an aversion to church,
21
00:02:00,834 --> 00:02:06,006
and CCD,
and an obsession with guns.
22
00:02:06,131 --> 00:02:08,049
(CLATTERS)
23
00:02:08,174 --> 00:02:11,136
Jack inherited from his mother
a sweet tooth,
24
00:02:11,261 --> 00:02:14,681
her good looks,
and an extensive record collection.
25
00:02:16,016 --> 00:02:22,605
When Elvis Presley broke in 1955,
Jack became his disciple.
26
00:02:25,650 --> 00:02:29,404
In Elvis and his music,
Jack felt something ancient.
27
00:02:29,529 --> 00:02:33,616
Something primal.
He felt freedom.
28
00:02:36,161 --> 00:02:40,457
Both Jack and Karen would continue
to lead aimless, reckless lives
29
00:02:40,582 --> 00:02:43,168
throughout their adolescence,
30
00:02:43,293 --> 00:02:48,131
both searching for something better,
something more,
31
00:02:48,256 --> 00:02:52,302
something elusive
they couldn't quite define.
32
00:02:52,427 --> 00:02:56,431
It was only a matter of time before
this yearning led them to one another.
33
00:02:58,516 --> 00:02:59,976
They would eventually meet
34
00:03:00,101 --> 00:03:02,145
at the Second Chances
Rehabilitation Clinic
35
00:03:02,270 --> 00:03:04,147
located in Floodwood, Michigan.
36
00:03:05,315 --> 00:03:08,318
Karen was sent there involuntarily
by her parents
37
00:03:08,443 --> 00:03:10,320
after she was suspended
from high school
38
00:03:10,445 --> 00:03:14,991
and turned to nicotine,
vodka and teenage boys.
39
00:03:15,867 --> 00:03:19,537
Jack was sent there by the state
for his barbiturate addiction
40
00:03:19,662 --> 00:03:23,833
and an increasingly abnormal obsession
with Elvis Presley.
41
00:03:23,958 --> 00:03:26,252
Well, at the time of your evaluation,
42
00:03:26,378 --> 00:03:29,506
you said that Elvis
was straying from the righteous path
43
00:03:29,631 --> 00:03:33,593
and it was your duty
to guide his soul to salvation.
44
00:03:33,718 --> 00:03:35,220
Yep.
45
00:03:36,429 --> 00:03:39,557
Diagnosed with a delusional disorder,
46
00:03:39,682 --> 00:03:44,687
Jack was prescribed daily sessions
of electroshock therapy
47
00:03:44,813 --> 00:03:46,981
at twice the recommended dosage.
48
00:03:47,107 --> 00:03:48,733
(SIZZLES)
49
00:03:51,069 --> 00:03:56,950
On March 13th 1974, Karen and Jack
would cross paths for the first time,
50
00:03:57,075 --> 00:03:59,786
setting in motion one
of the most destructive love affairs
51
00:03:59,911 --> 00:04:02,205
in the annals of US crime.
52
00:04:02,330 --> 00:04:03,832
JACK: Get your fuckin' paws off me, man!
53
00:04:03,957 --> 00:04:07,836
My people was born here in this dirt
and I'll do as I goddamn please!
54
00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:10,296
Can I help you?
55
00:04:10,422 --> 00:04:11,423
(CLATTERS)
56
00:04:37,782 --> 00:04:42,912
So what's a pretty girl like you doing
here stuck with all these juggle heads?
57
00:04:43,037 --> 00:04:45,373
I don't know.
58
00:04:45,498 --> 00:04:49,335
My parents thought I should take it easy
for a while, I guess,
59
00:04:49,461 --> 00:04:52,547
- I got nerves,
- Yeah, they say I got the nerves too.
60
00:04:53,756 --> 00:04:57,093
I mean, how can't a smart person
with a brain have the nerves?
61
00:04:57,218 --> 00:05:00,054
You see the world we live in?
You gotta wonder.
62
00:05:00,180 --> 00:05:02,307
It's the people that don't have nerves
63
00:05:02,432 --> 00:05:05,059
who should be locked up in here,
I think.
64
00:05:05,185 --> 00:05:09,314
- They're the real suspicious ones.
- Yeah, I guess,
65
00:05:11,608 --> 00:05:14,736
- So what's your name?
- Karen.
66
00:05:14,861 --> 00:05:17,989
- That's a pretty name.
- Thanks.
67
00:05:18,907 --> 00:05:21,326
My name's Jack Blueblood.
68
00:05:21,451 --> 00:05:23,453
(CHATTER OVER WALKIE-TALKIE)
69
00:05:27,707 --> 00:05:28,833
Can I see you again?
70
00:05:30,084 --> 00:05:32,962
- Maybe,
- I gotta get.
71
00:05:41,804 --> 00:05:45,225
Hey. He's in the ladies' room.
72
00:05:51,606 --> 00:05:53,024
(MUFFLED VOICES)
73
00:05:53,149 --> 00:05:54,192
- (LOUD THUD)
- GUARD: Ow!
74
00:05:54,317 --> 00:05:56,528
(GLASS SHATTERS)
75
00:05:56,653 --> 00:06:00,865
I just don't wanna be some...
76
00:06:02,033 --> 00:06:03,868
Chattanooga chambermaid.
77
00:06:04,661 --> 00:06:06,913
I want something different.
78
00:06:08,039 --> 00:06:09,666
Like what, Karen?
79
00:06:11,626 --> 00:06:16,339
- I don't know really.
- And that is the crux of your anxiety.
80
00:06:17,382 --> 00:06:19,217
The unknown.
81
00:06:21,261 --> 00:06:24,138
- You mind if I have a smoke?
- No,
82
00:06:34,857 --> 00:06:37,694
- Dr Sanborn, can I ask you something?
- Of course.
83
00:06:38,945 --> 00:06:42,156
Why is that Jack Blueblood guy here?
84
00:06:42,282 --> 00:06:45,827
Because he hears voices in his head
that tell him to kill,
85
00:06:46,661 --> 00:06:49,664
- I also think he might be queer.
- (LAUGHS)
86
00:06:49,789 --> 00:06:52,750
You can laugh if you want to but
Jack Blueblood is a very dangerous man.
87
00:06:52,875 --> 00:06:56,588
You need to stay away from him.
Trust me,
88
00:07:06,806 --> 00:07:10,518
On top of solar flares and sun spots,
89
00:07:10,643 --> 00:07:13,229
what I'm really most freaked about
is pandemics,
90
00:07:14,522 --> 00:07:16,441
Toby! Get!
91
00:07:21,321 --> 00:07:23,239
Checkmate.
92
00:07:25,742 --> 00:07:29,203
Little birdie told me
you snitched on my hiding spot.
93
00:07:29,329 --> 00:07:30,580
Oh, yeah?
94
00:07:30,705 --> 00:07:35,293
Look, sugar tits, I don't know
who the fuck you think you are,
95
00:07:35,418 --> 00:07:37,128
but there's rules around here.
96
00:07:37,253 --> 00:07:39,047
Don't call me sugar tits.
97
00:07:39,172 --> 00:07:43,426
Rule number one, I'll call you
whatever the fuck I wanna call you.
98
00:07:43,551 --> 00:07:46,471
Rule two, do not cross me.
99
00:07:49,140 --> 00:07:52,935
I carry artillery in my boot just like
the King and I ain't afraid to use it.
100
00:07:54,062 --> 00:07:57,065
I'm 50% Irish, 50% Lakota Sioux.
101
00:08:02,111 --> 00:08:04,280
I'm 100% white trash.
102
00:08:08,368 --> 00:08:11,204
NARRATOR: Jack and Karen
fell for each other quickly.
103
00:08:16,542 --> 00:08:19,462
According to an entry
in Karen's diary at the time,
104
00:08:19,587 --> 00:08:22,548
Jack is unlike anyone
she'd ever met before.
105
00:08:22,674 --> 00:08:24,801
KAREN: Sure, he's crazy but he's alive.
106
00:08:25,677 --> 00:08:28,346
He's got mercury for blood
and fire in his eyes.
107
00:08:28,471 --> 00:08:30,973
And although he might look rough
and primitive,
108
00:08:31,099 --> 00:08:33,601
deep down he's sensitive and kind.
109
00:08:33,726 --> 00:08:36,979
Last week at movie night,
he cried during "Pride of the Yankees",
110
00:08:37,105 --> 00:08:41,776
and he whittled me a statuette of
the Virgin Mary out of a bar of Lava.
111
00:08:43,319 --> 00:08:45,780
He says that sometimes
his head feels like it's crowded
112
00:08:45,905 --> 00:08:49,826
with a bunch of black dogs who won't
quit barking. It drives him mad.
113
00:08:50,952 --> 00:08:52,870
And I can relate to that feeling.
114
00:08:53,830 --> 00:08:57,625
Plus we tell each other secrets
we ain't never told anyone before.
115
00:08:57,750 --> 00:09:02,797
When I was eight years old, I killed
a baby bluebird just to watch it die.
116
00:09:02,922 --> 00:09:04,507
I feel bad about that.
117
00:09:05,842 --> 00:09:08,720
I like The Beach Boys
more than The Beatles.
118
00:09:08,845 --> 00:09:11,723
Don't tell anyone. It's controversial.
119
00:09:13,057 --> 00:09:17,937
My one true dream in life
is to step foot into the Pacific Ocean,
120
00:09:18,062 --> 00:09:23,943
feel the warm frothy water on my legs,
breathe in the fresh salty air.
121
00:09:25,987 --> 00:09:27,280
Your turn.
122
00:09:29,115 --> 00:09:31,033
I hate my daddy.
123
00:09:31,159 --> 00:09:35,747
My favorite month of the year is October
when the air smells all wet and fun,
124
00:09:36,664 --> 00:09:39,417
When I listen to Elvis,
it's like the gospel.
125
00:09:39,542 --> 00:09:41,377
Those two minutes and 30 seconds
126
00:09:41,502 --> 00:09:46,382
I forget I'm just a kid trapped
in a box somewhere waiting to die.
127
00:09:46,507 --> 00:09:48,176
I'm free, baby.
128
00:10:08,738 --> 00:10:13,910
You are the most beautiful, most far-out
chick I've ever seen in my whole life,
129
00:10:17,413 --> 00:10:21,042
NARRATOR: Karen had never felt this way
about a boy before.
130
00:10:22,210 --> 00:10:27,423
When she was with him she didn't feel
that funny, lonesome feeling,
131
00:10:27,548 --> 00:10:29,759
and neither did he.
132
00:10:30,885 --> 00:10:36,182
But this carefree time
would soon come to an end.
133
00:10:47,193 --> 00:10:49,403
PATIENT: Felt like the walls
were caving in,
134
00:10:49,529 --> 00:10:53,991
like the air was disappearing
and the sky was falling.
135
00:10:54,116 --> 00:10:58,788
Like nothing was real no more
and I was being erased from it all.
136
00:11:00,414 --> 00:11:02,375
Like I was being rubbed out.
137
00:11:03,584 --> 00:11:05,795
DOCTOR: Very courageous.
Thank you for sharing that,
138
00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:09,549
DOCTOR: All right, everyone,
let's discuss what Toby told us.
139
00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:16,389
(KNOCKING)
140
00:11:20,935 --> 00:11:24,272
- Who's there?
- JACK: It's me, baby. Open up.
141
00:11:24,397 --> 00:11:28,067
- What's the password?
- JACK: Pretty please. Open up.
142
00:11:35,324 --> 00:11:39,287
I gotta tell you something,
I gotta tell you something. Hold on.
143
00:11:39,787 --> 00:11:41,038
What?
144
00:11:42,081 --> 00:11:45,710
Now, we've been going steady
for a couple of weeks now. Right?
145
00:11:45,835 --> 00:11:48,004
So there's something
you should know about me.
146
00:11:48,129 --> 00:11:51,883
- OK.
- A couple of years back...
147
00:11:52,842 --> 00:11:55,928
My dead mama made contact with me.
148
00:11:56,053 --> 00:12:01,517
She told me that I gotta kill Elvis.
149
00:12:03,686 --> 00:12:06,814
NARRATOR: By 1972,
it had become clear to Jack
150
00:12:06,939 --> 00:12:11,903
that a distinct change had occurred
in Elvis and his music.
151
00:12:12,028 --> 00:12:16,949
Shortly after the "Aloha From Hawaii"
special, while high on mezcal...
152
00:12:17,074 --> 00:12:18,409
(BACKWARDS SINGING)
153
00:12:18,534 --> 00:12:21,996
...Jack accidentally spun
his favorite Elvis record backwards,
154
00:12:22,121 --> 00:12:24,790
and claimed to have heard a message
from his dead mother
155
00:12:24,916 --> 00:12:27,001
spinning in the grooves of the wax.
156
00:12:28,002 --> 00:12:30,963
(DISTORTED VOICE)
Kill Elvis.
157
00:12:31,756 --> 00:12:35,217
Kill Elvis.
158
00:12:36,177 --> 00:12:39,680
Kill Elvis.
159
00:12:41,015 --> 00:12:44,226
Kill Elvis.
160
00:12:44,352 --> 00:12:48,439
Kill Elvis.
161
00:12:51,901 --> 00:12:55,071
Elvis, like Elvis Elvis?
162
00:12:55,196 --> 00:12:57,907
Look, I knew you were gonna say that
and I know it sounds crazy, baby,
163
00:12:58,032 --> 00:13:02,411
but you gotta trust me on this one, OK?
Look, I got proof.
164
00:13:03,996 --> 00:13:09,669
Elvis is playing the Sports Coliseum
in Los Angeles, California, on May 11th.
165
00:13:10,836 --> 00:13:14,382
Which also happens
to be my dead mama's birthday.
166
00:13:14,507 --> 00:13:18,302
Now, does that sound like a coincidence
to you? Cos it don't to me.
167
00:13:18,427 --> 00:13:21,138
- What are you trying to say?
- I'm gonna bust out of here.
168
00:13:21,263 --> 00:13:24,433
I'm gonna hitch west

OVER RADIO: A select committee
of the United States Senate
245
00:21:23,078 --> 00:21:26,748
is about to begin pubic hearings
on something called Watergate.
246
00:21:26,874 --> 00:21:29,376
One year ago today,
Watergate was just an address,
247
00:21:29,501 --> 00:21:32,421
a rather fancy, expensive address
in this capital city,
248
00:21:32,546 --> 00:21:35,215
but now it has come to symbolize
much more.
249
00:21:35,340 --> 00:21:39,595
The word "crisis" is perhaps too mild
to apply to Watergate.

Most of them, it must be kept in mind,
not yet proved.

259
00:22:17,591 --> 00:22:20,761

00:27:05,003 --> 00:27:07,005
And when nothing's on,
I hang out with Kimbo.
339
00:27:07,130 --> 00:27:09,257
Do you remember Kimbo,
the little handicapped kid?
340
00:27:09,382 --> 00:27:12,135
He's so annoying.
341
00:27:12,260 --> 00:27:16,973
Look, you don't wanna get yourself
mixed up or killed on our account, OK?
342
00:27:17,098 --> 00:27:21,144
We got an objective. We can't have
any dead weight, I'm sorry, buddy,
343
00:27:21,269 --> 00:27:26,691
- Oh, my. You're finally doing it, huh?
- That's right.
344
00:27:26,817 --> 00:27:30,237
This is big, This is big,
He's been thinking about this for years.
345
00:27:30,362 --> 00:27:31,613
That's exactly right.
346
00:27:31,738 --> 00:27:34,324
That's why I'm gonna
need to get that map I gave to you.
347
00:27:36,034 --> 00:27:37,744
Yeah.
348
00:27:37,869 --> 00:27:39,746
NARRATOR: Before Jack was committed,
349
00:27:39,871 --> 00:27:42,874
he had buried
a duffel bag full of guns,
350
00:27:42,999 --> 00:27:46,461
money
and rare first-edition comic books.
351
00:27:46,586 --> 00:27:49,548
He drew out a map of its location
and wrote the directions in pig Latin
352
00:27:49,673 --> 00:27:52,175
and entrusted it
in Teijo's safe-keeping
353
00:27:52,300 --> 00:27:53,844
while he was away from home.
354
00:27:53,969 --> 00:27:57,764
Teijo, this is all I have.
355
00:27:58,640 --> 00:28:01,101
This is everything.
356
00:28:01,226 --> 00:28:06,106
You're my best friend but if you
fuck this up, I will kill you,
357
00:28:07,858 --> 00:28:09,568
You can trust me, Jack.
358
00:28:14,573 --> 00:28:17,659
TEIJO: Oh, I must have seen that movie,
Midnight Cowboy, I don't know,
359
00:28:17,784 --> 00:28:20,245
like seven times in the theater.
It was so good,
360
00:28:20,370 --> 00:28:22,247
KAREN: Is that the one about
the two queer men?
361
00:28:22,372 --> 00:28:24,332
- TEIJO: Yeah,
- KAREN: Yeah, I like that one too.
362
00:28:24,457 --> 00:28:27,586
JACK: They were not queer in that movie,
they were friends,
363
00:28:27,711 --> 00:28:31,798
It was about friendship. Get y'all's
heads out of the gutter, man,
364
00:28:33,592 --> 00:28:34,885
(KAREN LAUGHS)
365
00:28:35,010 --> 00:28:37,929
- JACK: What's so funny?
- KAREN: Nothing.
366
00:28:42,183 --> 00:28:45,896
Goddammit, Teijo,
This don't make no sense.
367
00:28:47,022 --> 00:28:49,274
We should have found it by now.
368
00:28:49,399 --> 00:28:52,652
Things move. The earth moves.
You never heard of plate tectonics?
369
00:29:05,957 --> 00:29:07,792
(DULL THUD)
370
00:29:07,918 --> 00:29:08,960
JACK: Sweet mother Mary.
371
00:29:12,422 --> 00:29:13,423
(LAUGHS)
372
00:29:25,143 --> 00:29:28,772
Teijo, where's the money?
373
00:29:29,898 --> 00:29:31,775
Oh, I don't know.
374
00:29:34,235 --> 00:29:37,822
- What do you mean, you don't know?
- I don't know.
375
00:29:38,865 --> 00:29:42,410
Teijo, you got about five seconds
before I come over there.
376
00:29:43,453 --> 00:29:47,832
It's gone. OK? It's gone.
I used it all, it's gone.
377
00:29:50,502 --> 00:29:51,795
No!
378
00:29:51,920 --> 00:29:53,254
- Come here.
- KAREN: Jack!
379
00:29:54,172 --> 00:29:56,675
- Gonna whup your ass, boy.
- Jack! Stop it!
380
00:29:57,717 --> 00:29:58,718
Come here.
381
00:30:00,387 --> 00:30:01,388
(PANTS)
382
00:30:05,475 --> 00:30:08,937
- I bought pills, OK?
- What kind of pills?
383
00:30:09,062 --> 00:30:12,399
Estrogen pills. Lots of them.
384
00:30:13,650 --> 00:30:15,777
What the fuck are you talking about?!
385
00:30:15,902 --> 00:30:20,740
Read about it in Newsweek. They're
supposed to make you more womanly.
386
00:30:20,865 --> 00:30:25,286
So if I get my operation, I want my body
to accept my new girly parts,
387
00:30:27,747 --> 00:30:31,251
- Are you out of your goddamn mind?!
- That's not fair,
388
00:30:31,376 --> 00:30:33,628
I wasn't gonna leave the money in there
for all the wormies.
389
00:30:33,753 --> 00:30:34,879
Fuck you, Teijo.
390
00:30:35,964 --> 00:30:38,675
Jack. Jack. Jack.
391
00:30:38,800 --> 00:30:40,760
- Be reasonable, Jack. Come on.
- Come on, Karen.
392
00:30:40,885 --> 00:30:42,762
- Not you, bro.
- Oh, yes, me.
393
00:30:42,887 --> 00:30:45,265
You're not leaving me out here
with all this shit,
394
00:31:02,198 --> 00:31:03,199
(EXHALES)
395
00:31:06,119 --> 00:31:10,540
Daddy. It's Jack. Open up.
396
00:31:13,209 --> 00:31:15,211
I know you're in there.
397
00:31:15,336 --> 00:31:17,380
California, huh?
398
00:31:17,505 --> 00:31:19,090
- (RAPS ON DOOR)
- Daddy, it's Jack,
399
00:31:19,215 --> 00:31:21,051
I need to talk to you.
400
00:31:21,176 --> 00:31:23,428
There's a lot of people there
that can help me,
401
00:31:23,553 --> 00:31:26,973
- Yeah?
- Yeah. Doctors and stuff.
402
00:31:28,224 --> 00:31:30,894
- (TAPS LOUDLY ON WINDOW)
- Open up, you drunk son of a bitch.
403
00:31:31,019 --> 00:31:38,485
Well, I wouldn't get any ideas, Teijo.
I mean, you know Jack.
404
00:31:41,112 --> 00:31:42,614
(FOOTSTEPS APPROACH)
405
00:31:51,790 --> 00:31:52,832
Daddy.
406
00:31:52,957 --> 00:31:55,835
NARRATOR: Jack hadn't looked his father
in the eyes for many years.
407
00:31:55,960 --> 00:31:58,421
Doing so then
was the closest he ever came
408
00:31:58,546 --> 00:32:01,382
to feeling
a sense of love for the old man.
409
00:32:03,093 --> 00:32:04,511
(SNIFFS)
410
00:32:04,636 --> 00:32:05,929
Hey, K!
411
00:32:11,059 --> 00:32:15,313
Daddy, this is my female friend Karen.
Karen, say hi,
412
00:32:15,438 --> 00:32:16,689
Hi.
413
00:32:17,941 --> 00:32:19,567
Don't she look an awful lot like Mama?
414
00:32:25,240 --> 00:32:26,908
Kiggy, what do you want?
415
00:32:27,826 --> 00:32:31,871
Look... We ain't here for no trouble,
all right?
416
00:32:31,996 --> 00:32:34,332
It's just that... You remember Teijo.
417
00:32:36,459 --> 00:32:38,503
He used all my money to...
418
00:32:40,839 --> 00:32:43,716
Well, we need to borrow some bread.
419
00:32:44,551 --> 00:32:45,969
Goddamn it, no!
420
00:32:46,094 --> 00:32:49,389
Goddamn it! Hey!
Open the fucking door!
421
00:32:49,514 --> 00:32:50,515
(RAPS)
422
00:32:51,432 --> 00:32:52,725
Open up!
423
00:33:00,608 --> 00:33:02,944
That ain't who I think it was, was it?
424
00:33:06,948 --> 00:33:07,949
(SIGHS)
425
00:33:09,409 --> 00:33:12,871
Goddamn it,
I told you I didn't want any trouble.
426
00:33:12,996 --> 00:33:16,207
You have been trouble
since the day you were born.
427
00:33:19,419 --> 00:33:20,420
(GUNSHOT)
428
00:33:37,478 --> 00:33:38,897
Oh, God.
429
00:33:43,568 --> 00:33:45,028
Where's the money?
430
00:33:47,864 --> 00:33:49,324
Where's the fucking money?!
431
00:33:57,290 --> 00:33:58,374
(RATTLES)
432
00:34:17,060 --> 00:34:20,813
You know, if you think about it,
I kinda did you a favor here.
433
00:34:22,815 --> 00:34:25,443
You're gonna be reunited
with Mama again,
434
00:34:27,278 --> 00:34:32,158
Will you tell her I said I love her?
I can hear her loud and clear,
435
00:34:36,829 --> 00:34:39,332
It's a shame we never got on right.
436
00:34:49,425 --> 00:34:51,135
It's too late now, I guess.
437
00:34:57,976 --> 00:35:00,019
There's cops. There's cops out...
438
00:35:01,396 --> 00:35:02,855
TEIJO: Shit!
439
00:35:03,731 --> 00:35:07,193
- Fuck, is he dead?
- JACK: Yeah, he's dead.
440
00:35:07,318 --> 00:35:10,154
OK, no, no,
you both are taking me with you to LA.
441
00:35:10,280 --> 00:35:12,407
- Absolutely not.
- No! You can't leave me with this.
442
00:35:12,532 --> 00:35:13,950
I said no, Teijo.
443
00:35:14,075 --> 00:35:17,412
Jack, let him come with,
I could use a friend on the road.
444
00:35:18,579 --> 00:35:20,623
Ah, come on.
445
00:35:23,293 --> 00:35:26,546
All right, look, you guys go out back.
I'll take the pigs in the front,
446
00:35:26,671 --> 00:35:27,922
You go on my signal, OK?
447
00:35:29,716 --> 00:35:33,428
- Is everything cool, baby?
- I'm willing,
448
00:35:47,400 --> 00:35:49,110

(WHOOPS AND LAUGHS)
452
00:37:09,607 --> 00:37:13,945
NARRATOR: Karen's usually sedated suburb
found itself in a media frenzy
453
00:37:14,070 --> 00:37:19,867
not seen since the high-school
football team won state 16 years prior.
454
00:37:19,992 --> 00:37:22,203
The death count is now five.
455
00:37:22,328 --> 00:37:28,126
Jack Blueblood and Karen Bird,
lovers, dreamers, serial killers.
456
00:37:28,251 --> 00:37:30,837
FEMALE REPORTER: Karen Bird,
the silver-spoon delinquent,
457
00:37:30,962 --> 00:37:32,004
enjoyed riding her bike,
458
00:37:32,130 --> 00:37:36,843
donating to charity, and participating
in religious education.
459
00:37:36,968 --> 00:37:38,553
Then something went astray.
460
00:37:38,678 --> 00:37:40,430
I didn't really know her.
461
00:37:40,555 --> 00:37:42,098
My dad said I couldn't talk to her
462
00:37:42,223 --> 00:37:45,101
after she supported McGovern
in our school's mock election.
463
00:37:45,226 --> 00:37:48,896
Just fun, I guess. I don't know.
464
00:37:51,023 --> 00:37:56,195
The Bird family has been kind enough
to open up their home to our cameras.
465
00:37:56,320 --> 00:37:58,948
I'm in Karen's room right now.
466
00:37:59,073 --> 00:38:00,741
I want to show you all
something we found
467
00:38:00,867 --> 00:38:03,035
while investigating
her record collection.
468
00:38:05,538 --> 00:38:08,166
NARRATOR: A poem Karen had written
on the inside sleeve
469
00:38:08,291 --> 00:38:12,545
of Karen Dalton's "In My Own Time"
was analyzed for clues.
470
00:38:15,631 --> 00:38:19,218
KAREN: Moonbeams and daydreams
and buttons and bows.
471
00:38:21,721 --> 00:38:24,849
Saltwater kisses
and hot sand between toes.
472
00:38:31,147 --> 00:38:33,900
My mom in her summer dress
and the smell of her hair.
473
00:38:39,947 --> 00:38:43,034
The sounds of July
and life without care.
474
00:39:20,029 --> 00:39:23,241
NARRATOR: Amid Jack and Karen's
honeymoon of bloodshed,
475
00:39:23,366 --> 00:39:25,618
the law was hot on their tail.
476
00:39:27,328 --> 00:39:31,791
They were traced to a motel
only seven hours from the reservation
477
00:39:31,916 --> 00:39:35,294
where they had signed into the guest
registrar with phony names.
478
00:40:05,575 --> 00:40:07,493
Having been informed that his client
479
00:40:07,618 --> 00:40:10,288
was on the precipice
of a nervous breakdown,
480
00:40:10,413 --> 00:40:12,665
Colonel Tom Parker flew to Los Angeles
481
00:40:12,790 --> 00:40:17,503
in hopes of interceding a mental
collapse and protecting investments.
482
00:40:24,844 --> 00:40:26,220
Hey.
483
00:40:29,432 --> 00:40:32,059
What did I tell you about sunglasses
where I can't see your eyes?
484
00:40:32,184 --> 00:40:34,312
- Take 'em off.
- Yes, sir.
485
00:40:36,981 --> 00:40:41,193
Now, what's this I hear from Charlie
about you not hitting your notes?
486
00:40:43,779 --> 00:40:46,240
Tour starts in two days, Elvis.
487
00:40:48,117 --> 00:40:50,161
How is everything?
488
00:40:53,414 --> 00:40:55,499
Colonel, you remember when we first met?
489
00:40:55,625 --> 00:40:57,209
Of course.
490
00:40:59,378 --> 00:41:02,673
You told me I'd be the brightest star
ever did shine,
491
00:41:02,798 --> 00:41:04,550
Yes, I did.
492
00:41:05,718 --> 00:41:07,011
And I was.
493
00:41:07,136 --> 00:41:10,640
You are still the brightest star,
Elvis.
494
00:41:10,765 --> 00:41:13,434
No, sir, I... I think...
495
00:41:13,559 --> 00:41:17,355
What do they call them old dead stars
burned out a long time ago?
496
00:41:17,480 --> 00:41:22,401
Dwarfs, I'm like,,,
I'm like a dwarf star.
497
00:41:23,194 --> 00:41:25,196
What are you talking about?
498
00:41:27,198 --> 00:41:30,451
Sir, I'm talking about quitting.
Quitting the whole racket,
499
00:41:33,287 --> 00:41:37,500
Do you have any idea what kind of money
is tied up in this tour?
500
00:41:37,625 --> 00:41:40,586
Contracts, the tickets, the paychecks?
501
00:41:40,711 --> 00:41:43,422
Not to mention
that canceling such an event
502
00:41:43,547 --> 00:41:47,259
would cause an irreparable rift
between you and the public,
503
00:41:47,385 --> 00:41:50,012
and we don't need any more of that.
504
00:41:53,683 --> 00:41:55,810
Elvis, listen.
505
00:41:57,520 --> 00:42:03,401
Once this tour is through,

something but I don't understand what.

since she passed, sir,
510

- All what started?
511
00:42:40,187 --> 00:42:42,106

this kind of examination,
513

or not their president's a crook.
514
00:43:43,584 --> 00:43:47,797

- Hello. My name's Jack Blueblood.
- What do you want?
518
00:44:43,102 --> 00:44:46,272
Well, sir, I don't know if you remember
me but we met a few years back,
519
00:44:46,397 --> 00:44:50,234
Sioux Falls Elvis convention.
You gave me your address here
520
00:44:50,359 --> 00:44:52,987
and told me you might be able
to help me find Elvis,
521
00:44:54,196 --> 00:44:55,698
Yeah.
522
00:44:56,782 --> 00:45:01,120
Jack Blueblood,
We got shithoused that night, didn't we?
523
00:45:01,245 --> 00:45:03,789
- Yeah, we certainly did, sir.
- How are you, man?
524
00:45:03,914 --> 00:45:09,169
- Doing good. Do you mind if we come in?
- Yeah, you can all come in, Come on in,
525
00:45:09,295 --> 00:45:12,298
It's been a while since
I've been on that convention circuit.
526
00:45:12,423 --> 00:45:15,217
I don't know,
been what, four or five years, Jack?
527
00:45:15,342 --> 00:45:18,304
Oh, that was... That was 1970, sir.
528
00:45:18,429 --> 00:45:22,224
- Long time.
- Awful cool place you got here, man.
529
00:45:22,349 --> 00:45:26,020
Yeah, thank you,
My wife had a real eye for things.
530
00:45:27,062 --> 00:45:31,483
It's really all her junk. Yeah.
531
00:45:32,443 --> 00:45:34,403
She's in a better place.
532
00:45:35,738 --> 00:45:39,199
So, what brings you out west?
Where y'all heading?
533
00:45:39,325 --> 00:45:41,869

535

Who's this girl standing next to Elvis?
536
00:45:49,001 --> 00:45:53,756
Oh, yeah,
That would be Miss Dixie Locke.
537
00:45:53,881 --> 00:45:57,468
Yes,
That was Elvis's high-school sweetheart.
538
00:45:57,593 --> 00:46:01,680
Mr X knew Elvis way back when, Karen.
Ain't that something?

Yeah. Old, old friends.
540
00:46:04,975 --> 00:46:06,435
And where is she now?
541
00:46:06,560 --> 00:46:10,064
I don't know. Suppose
just another name in the phonebook.
542
00:46:11,273 --> 00:46:15,569
Just a footnote in the life story
of a boy that she loved when she was 16.
543
00:46:17,905 --> 00:46:22,993
Huh. I'm getting all sentimental.
Sorry about that,

Let's talk shop.
What can I do you for, Mr Jack?
545
00:46:29,625 --> 00:46:34,380
Well, I came here to get the name
of the hotel Elvis stays at in LA.
546
00:46:34,505 --> 00:46:36,256
(LAUGHS)
547
00:46:36,382 --> 00:46:39,760
As well as his room number and whatever
name he uses for the reservation,
548
00:46:39,885 --> 00:46:42,972
Why would you need
that information, son?
549
00:46:43,097 --> 00:46:46,517
You told me a couple of years ago
I could buy that information off of you.
550
00:46:46,642 --> 00:46:49,770
80 bucks. That's what you told me
a few years back.
551
00:46:49,895 --> 00:46:52,398
Jack, we was laid out drunk.
552
00:46:52,523 --> 00:46:54,858
I might have said a few things
that I really couldn't...
553
00:46:56,944 --> 00:46:59,780

I didn't drive out here

I heard about y'all on the radio.
Oh, yeah,
557
00:47:16,630 --> 00:47:21,301
I heard your name, Jack Blueblood.
I remembered our little conversation.
558

You son of a bitch. I tell you what.
559

NARRATOR: That afternoon,
Karen felt a sensation in her gut
581
00:49:23,048 --> 00:49:25,467
she hadn't felt for a long time.
582
00:49:29,096 --> 00:49:32,891
She looked for familiar shapes
and faces in the desert clouds,
583
00:49:33,016 --> 00:49:35,060
but there were none to be found.
584
00:49:39,356 --> 00:49:41,775
At a truck stop in Mexican Hat, Utah,
585
00:49:41,900 --> 00:49:46,488
she stole from the book rack
a "Vixen" magazine for Jack,
586
00:49:46,613 --> 00:49:50,033
a "Total Teen" for Teijo,
587
00:49:50,159 --> 00:49:53,620
and a picture book
on Ancient Egypt for herself.
588
00:50:00,586 --> 00:50:04,173
On their long car ride
to the Grand Canyon,
589
00:50:04,298 --> 00:50:07,843
she wrote a short memoir about herself
in hieroglyphics.
590
00:50:09,219 --> 00:50:11,847
She didn't share it with Jack or Teijo,
591
00:50:11,972 --> 00:50:14,725
and when she arrived
at the Grand Canyon later that day
592
00:50:14,850 --> 00:50:16,977
she ripped it up into a million pieces
593
00:50:17,102 --> 00:50:21,732
and watched as her biography fell
to the bottom of the earth like snow.
594
00:50:37,497 --> 00:50:40,250
KAREN: Did you know the sun's gonna
burn out one day?
595
00:50:40,375 --> 00:50:43,879
- TEIJO: My God. Really?
- KAREN: True story.
596
00:50:44,004 --> 00:50:45,797
When?
597
00:50:45,923 --> 00:50:48,217
About five billion years, give or take.
598
00:50:49,468 --> 00:50:50,802
That's crazy.
599
00:50:50,928 --> 00:50:56,975
Yeah, once it runs out of hydrogen,
it'll become, like, a red giant,
600
00:50:57,100 --> 00:51:01,605
and then expand and swallow the Earth
and all the other planets,
601
00:51:01,730 --> 00:51:04,733
And then it'll explode and turn
into a black dwarf or something.
602
00:51:04,858 --> 00:51:07,236
Black dwarf? No, thank you.
603
00:51:08,362 --> 00:51:11,907
Yeah. It used to really scare me
when I was a little girl, but...
604
00:51:12,699 --> 00:51:15,410
Now five billion years
seems like an eternity.
605
00:51:25,671 --> 00:51:28,757
Teijo, can I tell you something?
You promise you won't tell anyone else?
606
00:51:28,882 --> 00:51:31,635
Oh, my God, secrets. Yes.

who doesn't have a lot of confidence.
615

No, that's not true, Teijo.
616
00:52:26,189 --> 00:52:27,316
It is.

01:14:05,195 --> 01:14:08,324
♪ Because I still love you so
852
01:14:12,411 --> 01:14:13,412
♪ But

♪ Ever hurt

♪ Hurt you

859
01:15:23,607 --> 01:15:25,109
(GUNSHOT)
860
01:15:52,553 --> 01:15:56,682
NARRATOR: Looking into Elvis's eyes,
it all became clear to Jack.
861
01:15:56,807 --> 01:16:00,811
This was the man who sang "That's All
Right" and "Blue Moon of Kentucky"
862
01:16:00,936 --> 01:16:04,982
and "Mystery Train."
This was his hero.
863
01:16:05,107 --> 01:16:09,069
It was a voice that had gotten him
through many lonely nights.
864
01:16:09,194 --> 01:16:12,364
This was Elvis Aaron Presley.
865
01:16:12,489 --> 01:16:14,408
They were dream brothers,
866
01:16:14,533 --> 01:16:18,454
and they were connected
by some inextricable cosmic force.
867
01:16:23,459 --> 01:16:26,211
And then Jack died.
868
01:16:42,227 --> 01:16:44,146
If you're just joining us,
we have breaking news
869
01:16:44,271 --> 01:16:45,856
from the Beverly Canyon Hotel,
870
01:16:45,981 --> 01:16:48,692
where there has been
an assassination attempt on Elvis.
871
01:16:48,817 --> 01:16:50,527
Elvis's unidentified assailant
872
01:16:50,652 --> 01:16:53,864
was shot down by one of
the Memphis Mafia, Judd Feathers,
873
01:16:53,989 --> 01:16:57,117
who we're hearing died soon after
by wounds sustained to his chest.
874
01:16:57,242 --> 01:16:59,620
We're going live
to an interview with Elvis now.
875
01:16:59,745 --> 01:17:02,498
My old friend J Feathers is, uh...
876
01:17:04,458 --> 01:17:07,544
Well, he's a hero and he saved my life.
877
01:17:08,837 --> 01:17:10,881
We're gonna dedicate
tonight's show to him.
878
01:17:11,006 --> 01:17:13,550
NARRATOR: The whole thing
was covered up by RCA and the Colonel,
879
01:17:13,675 --> 01:17:15,844
who feared that the incident
might tarnish
880
01:17:15,969 --> 01:17:19,598
Elvis's already tenuous relationship
with the public and his fans.
881
01:17:19,723 --> 01:17:23,435
The incident lives on
in Elvis's can of urban legends,
882
01:17:23,560 --> 01:17:26,355
along with his supposed abduction
by aliens
883
01:17:26,480 --> 01:17:30,108
and the faking of his own death
three years later.
884
01:17:30,526 --> 01:17:33,779

(AUDIENCE CHEERING)
886

(WILD CHEERING)
887
01:18:37,676 --> 01:18:41,597
Elvis played to the Los Angeles crowd
that evening like he was 18.
888
01:18:43,015 --> 01:18:45,767
He had found his Shangri-La.
889
01:18:45,893 --> 01:18:50,814
He had found salvation.
He had found the righteous path.
890
01:18:52,733 --> 01:18:54,610
And so had Jack.
891
01:18:58,864 --> 01:19:04,161
As for Karen, some say her car slid off
the highway and into the ocean,
892
01:19:04,286 --> 01:19:08,916
where she's still trapped underwater,
entombed by the sea.
893
01:19:09,041 --> 01:19:13,253
Others speculate she moved to Canada,
gave birth to Jack's child,
894
01:19:13,378 --> 01:19:18,175
and became what she ran away from
in the first place, her mother.
895
01:19:20,594 --> 01:19:23,889
The most popular story
is that she changed her name,
896
01:19:24,014 --> 01:19:27,476
laid low for a few years
and re-emerged a decade later
897
01:19:27,601 --> 01:19:33,357
as recording artist Jennifer Fever,
whose minor 1988 hit "Shangri-La Suite"
898
01:19:33,482 --> 01:19:36,985
was said to have been about
her brief affair with Jack Blueblood.
899
01:19:38,320 --> 01:19:41,740
As far as the evidence is concerned,
she was last seen
900
01:19:41,865 --> 01:19:45,410
entering a gas-station bathroom
in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
901
01:19:46,370 --> 01:19:49,289
Billy Freehall,
a transient male prostitute
902
01:19:49,414 --> 01:19:51,416
and the last person to see her alive,
903
01:19:51,541 --> 01:19:54,836
claimed he would never forget
the look on her face.
904
01:19:54,962 --> 01:19:57,839
A mixture of freedom and despair.
905
01:19:57,965 --> 01:20:01,301
It would stay with him
for the rest of his short life.
906
01:20:37,129 --> 01:20:40,841
Sure, the sun would burn out one day
907
01:20:40,966 --> 01:20:44,428
but that wasn't
for a very, very long time.
908
01:20:44,553 --> 01:20:47,848
The future was an endless highway,
909
01:20:47,973 --> 01:20:52,352
and Karen would follow the sun
until its end.
