Bostonian (2015)
1
No! Tragedy has struck the hub again as a south Boston woman was attacked at her home earlier tonight. Police believe that she is the latest victim of the so-called Bostonian serial killer. The latest attack is the tenth in a string of killings dating back from October of 2012. All the victims have been women between the ages of 35 and 52 living in higher-end areas of the city such as back bay, the south end, and last night, the city point section of south Boston, which has seen... I know what you like. My big boy. All of the victims were home alone at the time of the attack and had their throat slashed with a medium-sized blade. The assailant was able to gain entry into all of these residences with relative ease and lay in wait for these women. He seemed to know their routine, lifestyle, and whether or not she lived alone. All but two of the victims did indeed live alone. And in the other two cases, the spouse was away on business. Both men have been ruled out as suspects. We believe this guy is either unemployed or homeless, or for some reason has an ax to grind against wealthy women. No pun intended. The WQBs team spoke with captain Michael Donovan of the Boston police about the case. We're looking at the possibility that, in a way, these were financially motivated attacks, not robberies or the like, just, to put it in simple terms, jealousy. Maybe a case of the have and have-nots and the have-nots went too far. There was no sexual aspects of the crimes and all. These women were all wealthy and powerful, attractive. And a lot of men don't like that. Profile is an angry white or Hispanic male, 20 to 40, working class. The killer left no prints, fibers, or any other evidence of his or her presence, save the corpse. Though tragic, police believe this latest attack may improve the Bostonian's undoing as they report two major errors were made by the killer. I'm just saying this guy has been doing so good for so long he got sloppy. Police will not go into details to what these mistakes might be. How... It was too dark. I was too quick. Hello. Hey. Hey, you know what a night owl I am. Sure. Okay. See you later. Bye. I already went over this with detective Burke. Well, let's go over it again. It might trigger something. This is important, Dan. You can stop this guy. Okay. Well, my girlfriend broke up with me that night over dinner. So, I left after that, about 8:30. I took the bus and it's about a ten-minute walk from the bus stop to my house here. And Ms. Kerstas's house is between your house and the bus stop? Yeah. Why were you so interested in her house, anyway? I mean, it's dark, it's raining, why would you be standing out there? I just saw her looking out the window. Yeah? So? I kind of had a crush on her. I mean, for an older woman, she was really attractive and I just... Hey. No problem with that. When I was 36, I got divorced. I started tapping this 57-year-old lady for awhile. You know, she kept herself tight. I figured, why not? Tappin'? Tappin'. That's what they say these days. Dan, continue, please. Anyway, I saw her looking out of the window, so I stopped and looked up. And I knew that the back door to her building was on the side of her house, and I thought I saw a movement. Only, it didn't look like someone was just opening the door. It's like they were having trouble with it, you know. And he was fiddling... He? You knew it was a guy? Yeah. He was tall, pretty broad. The figure just seemed manly, you know. He was wearing all black, but I managed to see his face for a split second in the stairwell light. And he was white, but... I tried to warn Ms. Kerstas. I went up and I pounded on her door, but she wouldn't let me in. I knew something was wrong, especially with a serial killer running around like that. So, I went back to my apartment, got a baseball bat, came back. And when I finally broke through and broke in, I saw him ran out the back. And that's when I saw her like that. So, that's it? Yeah. Okay, Dan. If you think of anything else, you just give us a call. Yup. We're all done. What? We're all set here. Thank you for your help. No, you can't leave. Are you kidding me? You're not going anywhere. Hi, Katie. Hey, dad. Hey, I just wanna say thank you for switching days and, you know, for the... For the nice dinner. I'm really not cool with you paying. I make, like, three times as much money as you, dad. I know that. I'm not really proud of that. And sorry, I had to cut it short. No, it's okay. I'm sorry. I'm gonna reschedule. What, you have a hot date? Would you really wanna know if I did? No. Nice. All right. Look, I have to get going. Work? I just have to get going. You're going out again? Just have to go out, all right? Mystery drink partner? All right, I love you. Talk to you later. All right. Love you too, Katie. Bye. The guy is practically a fucking party girl. Hey, Boston police, asshole. You got me, officer. - Good evening. - Hey. Hey, sorry about the change. Not a problem. Is everything okay? Oh, yeah, I just had dinner with a friend. We have dinner every other Thursday and we had to reschedule. Quite the social butterfly. Drinks with me every week, dinner every other Thursday, all you need is a lady friend and your calendars. Something to drink, sir? Oh, yes, what he's having. Woodford reserve. The thing is that the scum of Boston is filling up my calendar again, my wealthy friend. And with all the free dinners and drinks from you and from her, I'm in the black. So, a woman would only mess up my cash flow. Listen, Sean, I know a couple of widowed and divorced ladies from my circle who would love to spend time with a worldly gentleman of character. For a change. Yeah, and what about me? Oh, you got me, Sean! I heard about last night's attack. Terrible. Just terrible. You still on the case? The woman had just come back from her father's funeral. Oh, Jesus. Jesus fucking Christ, is right. The news said two things were different. Yeah, I can't say, but believe me... We got him this time. Really? Because this time, the stupid bastard really fucked up. You really fucked up this time. - You really fucked up. - You really fucked up. You really fucked up. Numbers don't match, marshal. We need them for tomorrow. Jenna, I don't even know these files. I wouldn't even know where to begin how to format that. Well, Robinson quit and you're the most qualified person. I'm your boss and I'm telling you, get it done, make the numbers work. You think I wanna be here on a Saturday with you? Marshal. Jesus. Look, marshal, if you can't... No! Ah! No! Ah! I fucked up? I fucked up? Damn it! Damn it! Christ, I didn't fuck up! Shit! I'm just gonna move to fucking Pittsburgh. I fucked up? Son of a bitch. I don't fuck up. That's fucking ridiculous. - Oh, Jesus, I'm... - Jesus. Oh, gee, lady, I'm sorry. Oh. It's totally fine. Are you okay? Fine. Your phone okay? I'm good. Thank you. Listen, um, listen, uh, my name is marshal. Katie. Marshal with one l. Hi, Katie. Is that I-e or y? I-e. Oh, I like that spelling very much. Listen... ooh yeah, yeah life is so crazy sometimes so good, I hide and I can explain to you why I couldn't compromise and I never could... Who knew? Heading out just to, uh, grab some ice cream and end up having a drink with a guy. Life is full of pleasant surprises. So, why were you in such a hurry? Well, it's been pretty stressful at work, I needed a long walk. I wasn't paying attention. I'm sorry about that. It's okay. Workaholic, huh? Yeah, I guess. I'm at Kappel, Roberts, and Hollabaugh. Accounting? Yes. I like my work, but it may be time to move on. I could retire. You must have done well, then. Unfortunate circumstances, marshal, but congratulations. You're the best person to replace Jenna. How about you? I do okay. VP of human resources. Uh, I don't love it. Hell, I don't even like it, but it pays the bills. But I don't work enough to have it as an excuse for my non-existent social life. My father has more of a social life than I do. Oh, ha-ha. Uh-uh. No, I'm not kidding. What's he do for work? He's a cop. Well past retirement. Really? You know, one of my best friends is a cop. Police work has always fascinated me. Always has. We get together once a week and I drill him with questions. You know, I think it's beginning to annoy him. People secretly love talking about what they do, especially cops. He'll always say, you know, "I don't wanna bring my work home", but an hour later and a couple of drinks, he's spilling his guts. He and your mom do up the town, much? No, my mom died 10 years ago. You? So good. I got to go. Oh, work? Yeah. Don't like heroes when They make you feel like you can't win Oh, well, hey, let me give you my card, um, you know, if you're ever looking for a job or something. We didn't really try I'm daring you to tell a lie Give me your bedroom eyes So if you slip inside my heart And tore the place apart You really fucked up. She was a rich slut anyway, I could tell. She would have left you like your father left me. Piece of shit. At least he gave you your looks. He was good for that. God, he was gorgeous. Those blue eyes. You got those, too. You're sweet though. Not a fucking prick like he was. My sweet boy. Sit down, sweetie. You'll never leave mommy. Holy shit. Marshal, I want you. I wanna feel you inside me. Kiss you. I wanna kiss you. - I wanna hold you. - Hold you. Touch you. Watch your blue eyes as you come inside me. Come inside me. Make my big, beautiful boy feel good. And you make mommy feel so good. Give mommy a kiss in a special place. Make mommy feel so good. Give mommy a kiss in a special place. Those blue eyes. You feel so good inside me. Touch you. I want you. I wanna feel you inside me. Katie? Marshal. Marshal, here. Hi. How are you? Listen, uh, Katie, how would you like an all-expense-paid trip to Lorenzo's steakhouse? Courtesy of your local marshal, A.K.A. Me. Yeah? Uh, Saturday, does that work for you? 8:00? That would be fabulous. I'll meet you in the bar? Great. I'm looking forward to it. Okay. Saturday at 8:00. Right, right. Great. Me, too. Bye-bye. Bye. Oh, I don't know. Come, uh, make yourself at home. Thank you again for dinner. It was really good. It was my pleasure. Now, what can I get you to drink? Oh... Club soda? Club soda it is. Let me take that. Thank you. Please. Nice place. Very decorated. Thank you, I think. Part of the... The benefits and drawbacks of living alone, I can do whatever I want whenever I want, but there's still no other voice keeping me in check. I kind of have the opposite problem. So, blue-collar, even though I make money, I never splurge. My place is nice, three-bedroom condo, but it would be nice to have someone say, "go buy a painting, it's okay." You know, I have 12 beautiful pieces just sitting in storage. I think we'd make a great pair. I'm really glad you called. I'm having a nice time. Oh, don't mind me, marshal, go on. Marshal? Are you okay? Yeah, marshal, you okay? What's wrong? She a little too thin for ya? Too refined? Too fucking fake? Yeah, she's pretty. But she got something you can...? Can she ever know what you need... Like I can... My sweet boy? What the fuck? Marshal, Jesus-fucking-Christ. Hey, want some advice? I wanna give it to you anyway. You should take a chance. I mean, if she's a couple of years younger. Who cares? She dumped you because you're too old? Big deal. At least you had it for awhile. But if it sticks... No, you... you can't go through your whole fucking life not doing anything. "Better to have loved and lost," right, Sean? Yeah, more or less. I mean, what's worse, uh, saying, "oh, the relationship failed," and "woe is me"? Or, "I'm not a fucking all-time loser. Who never felt anything." Wise words, my friend. It's just that... Uh, oh, I've been under a lot of stress and I think I acted strangely in front of that girl. She probably wants you more. Well, that's probably true. Uh, hold on. Yeah, Burke here. Yeah. I'm in my car. Yeah, yeah, Rosemont, 75. Just up the street from the scene. Hmm, Bogle is good. All right. Sorry, business. Not a problem. Sicut parabus situs nobis. Preserving the peace is good, Sean. It's been a while since I was in the altar boy business, but, uh, I'll take that to mean, "bless me father for I have sinned." The witness is spooked. Wants some protection until we catch this guy. So I'm gonna send in a new guy tonight. Oh, the killer? Oh, no, I shouldn't have said anything to you. Sean, your secrets are safe with me as if you spoke them to a dead man. Well, I appreciate being able to vent to someone outside the department. Hey, marshal, what's with the thousand-yard stare? Sorry. Work. The girl. Hey, got to go. Later. Whoo! I'd wait a while before I go in there. You stay here, Dan. I'm gonna go check this out. McCarthy? Yeah. Good. Burke said you're gonna be about 45 minutes late. And here you are 15 minutes early. I'm starting to like you already. Our witness is fine. He's just playing on his computer there. So, guess I'll see you in about twelve. And, Dan, next time, get the two percent milk, okay? Detective McCarthy, is it? Yeah. Well, you can help yourself to anything. Thanks. This must be tough having all those cops in your place. Yeah. I guess it's a waste. I mean, I hardly saw the guy. I'm sure he didn't see me, either. But if you guys just wanna find a scapegoat and have me say that he did it, then that's fine with me. Those cops? I didn't see you. I can't ID you. Now you can. No! Oh, shit! Mr. Fausser? Yes. Yes? Sean Burke, Boston homicide. You mind? Have a seat. Your co-worker? Jenna. Oh, you're aware. Yes, I've heard all the chatter, saw the police. Doesn't take a detective, you'll forgive the expression, to figure it out. No, it makes my job easier. Saturday afternoon, where were you? Here! Until, uh, 3:00 pm. Um, badge was swiped at 2:48. Working alone? No, uh, Jenna was here. She left, wow, I'd say an hour before me. We were working on the quarterlies. Uh, listen, it's a little hard to keep track of time when you're putting in a 65-hour work week. The thing is, her badge wasn't swiped. Security guard never saw her leave. Well, Jenna was a smoker. They used to go down the back stairwell, prop open the fire door. Well, she was found on the side alley. Looked like a mugging. She was choked, bludgeoned, pockets gone through. Oh, god. She probably didn't even have her purse with her. I've seen worse. But so early in the day. Well, I wanna get a statement from you, cover all my bases. Thanks for your time, Mr. Fausser. Marshal. Thank you for your time, marshal. Uh, detective...? Sean. Sean. I've gotta get a drink after work. And after all this and Jenna, you know, frankly I could just use the company. Police work has always fascinated me. Uh-uh, I don't know about that. I'm buying, the good stuff. Meet me downstairs at 7:00. Sure, why not? My hero, twice today you've come to my rescue. The first time was when you gave me some stellar advice on taking care of the ladies. The second time was this fabulous meal. Thank you, Sean. Well, you probably bought me, what, $5,000 worth of drinks over the last few years? And bursting pipes, oh, that really sucks. Indeed it does. The entire building is flooded, from my penthouse down to the garage. But thank god, the Audi is okay. Fancy-ass building. Yes. Prestigious location, but building mechanicals, not so much. Hold up, bad phone. Yeah? Burke here. Sergeant Burke, it's McCarthy. Yeah, what's up? The witness is dead. What? I got there, like, 20 minutes late, okay, and nobody's there. I found the guy and his throat's cut. It's a fucking bloodbath, Sean. I don't know what to do here. Where the fuck is Bogle? I don't know, he wasn't there. I called his cell, I called the station, I called his house, I can't find this Fuckin' guy. Hang up the phone, Sean. You got to get over here, Sean, I don't know what to do. Should I call crime scene or what? Sean? Sean? When I killed Jenna, it was the one moment of peace. Marshal. You were a true friend. My only friend. Sicut parabus situs nobis. Katie is so special. No, marshal. I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. A Boston detective was gunned down in his home last night, shot to death with his own firearm. Police are not releasing the identity of the detective, as he was part of an ongoing investigation and it is believed his death is related to that inquiry. No evidence of break-in was apparent and authorities believe the fallen hero may have known his attacker. Hello? Hello, Katie. I was thinking about you. How are you? Marshal? Yeah. Oh, marshal. Hello, Katie? Marshal, are you busy? No, is there anything wrong? Can we get a cup of coffee or something? Some place quiet. Sure. Of course. So, tell me about your father. I can't. I never knew him. Ugh, I'm sorry. I guess that's worse. Yeah. My dad, he's a... Was a good man, not a good father. I don't know. Well, neither of us ever walked in his shoes. Oh, what? Being a cop? No, about being a parent. Maybe being a cop parent. I don't buy it. I mean, they were kids, they had parents, they had no... I was always the glue keeping them together. When we were together, it was... It was pleasant, but it was never a lot. I mean, he was always gone, working, chasing bad guys. And then it all went to shit when I went to college. My mother would call, crying. She was lonely, the house was quiet, and still, all he did was work and drink Whisky. He could've retired. I mean, they could've traveled maybe... You know, from what I've seen, being a cop is not just a job. It's more like being in a state of mind. A bird doesn't retire from being a bird. Yeah, I guess. I don't know. My mother had a heart attack and died in my junior in college. It took me a long time to get over that, to forgive him for that. And now when things are finally getting decent with him and I, it just... So, you never really knew your father at all? Mommy said he ran off after I was born. Said he didn't love her. He was wealthy, and handsome, and he was married. So, he ran off and he moved his money around. Back in those days, it wasn't easy for mommy to work the system, but she was too lazy to do anything about it anyway. So tell me about her, your mother. She did her best, I suppose, did what she knew. She was lonely. Different guys in and out, no more than a few months at a time. It was just her and me since the beginning. The day after I left for college, she got drunk and high, came to the beach, and walked right into the surf. She was found the next day, pale, bloated. She found peace, finally. The beach, this is what I needed. Peace. Sean was a good man. Rich bitches. That's what she was, marshal, thinking they're better than me. You oughta be happy you're rid of that cunt. I raised my kid alone, no father, no nannies, no big fucking car. And look at you, you're refined. You don't gotta be rich to have taste and shit. Don't gotta go off to college in Vermont or some shit. UMass Boston's fine, maybe Suffolk. Fucking NYU and Chicago, that's where they go. That's where they send their faggot sons. Look at you. God, you're handsome. Rich whores would be lucky to have my boy marry their slut daughters. Lucky to get what I get. That's about all he had. The guy was always on the move. Yeah, he was quite the minimalist, people and possessions. Wait, his gun. Don't you guys need this? No, we're certain that that was the murder weapon. Ballistics was easy. It was wiped clean so it'd be useless even if we had a suspect. But I was able to get you this. What? I asked you for the case files. I know, those are the summaries. That's... that's all I could get. Why? Well, Katie I was suspended, so, I'm damn lucky I was able to get that. Even if I wasn't, there's no way I could get you the entire case files. Kappel, Roberts, and Hollabaugh. What's that one? Oh, a case he was working on before the killer. Another cold one. Cold cases really burned him, you know, being the best closer on the force and all. Did my father ever mention having a friend outside of the force? No, but he wouldn't have. Hell, we wouldn't have known about you if you hadn't totaled his car in '99 or gotten that tattoo freshman year. God, he went ape-shit over that one. Okay. So wait, why were you suspended? Well, I let in the guy that might have killed the witness. What? Well, he said he was McCarthy. Well, what did he look like? Did you get a look at him? Description? Anything? I... I really didn't pay attention. It was night. I was tired. Get out. Katie? Get out, you incompetent, mouth-breathing, piece of shit. Katie. Get out! Write love songs cool green grass as the wind is passing I'm feeling red letter you can't turn at 2:00 in the morning It just started stirring and I'm feeling red letter I never thought it could feel as easy as drifting along on a summer's breeze that's how I feel when you kiss me, baby kiss me, baby leaving gray sky haven't we, baby? Haven't we, baby? Oh, you were a model, so typical, you, rich bitch model. You think you're better than them. Leaving gray clouds and the silver lining and I'm in it for it all And you can't come in my world Sick fucking bitch! Shut the fuck up! - Turn over. - Shut the fuck up! - Turn the fuck over! - No! You fuckin'... No! What... - No! - Turn the fuck over. Take your fucking pants down. You, fucking, like beer? Marshal, marshal. It's okay, sweetie. It's okay. Go back to bed. Go back to bed. Hey, do you have time to talk today? Thank you for meeting me. Sure. Anything I can do to help. Your dad was such a huge inspiration for me. He was a great cop, a great man. Well, you guys would know better than I do. What can I do, Katie? I came to you because you always seem like you had more brains in your head than the rest of the cops. Thanks. Maybe not so much more brains, just less penis. Did my dad ever mention to you having any friends? No. All right, well, I met this guy, marshal, from Kappel, Roberts, and Hollabaugh. So before these serial killings, weeks before, there was a employee who was found mugged and killed in an alley outside Kappel Roberts. Yeah, I remember. Well, a marshal Fausser was questioned about the killings. He was the last person to see the woman alive. And? Well, since then, my dad had been meeting someone for drinks. I don't know who, every week. Okay. And this guy, marshal, I met. Said he had a friend who was a cop. And? Whoever killed my dad knew where the witness was. They knew who was supposed to relieve Bogle. They knew when. Okay. Marshal from Kappel, Roberts, and Hollabaugh was my dad's friend. He killed my dad, he killed the witness. He is the Bostonian. You wouldn't believe the fucked up stories he was telling me about his mother. He fits the bill of a serial killer. You have to look into this guy. All right, all right, all right. Did you sleep with this guy? Are you kidding me? You're seriously asking me that? I mean. No. Sounds like you're a little bit burned. It's really, kind of, a stretch, Katie. Can you really not connect the dots here? This is where it all started. You're a detective, how can you not see it? What can I do, Katie? I mean, even if I could, I don't have enough on this guy to even look at him cross-eyed. Really, I'm sorry. All right. Look, I'm gonna... I'm gonna talk to a few of the guys at the station and get their take on it. And just one thing. I just need you to do one thing for me, can you do that? Lay down, sweetie. I was 10 years old. So are you gonna cum or not? No. Don't feel bad. I understand. Two loads in my mouth and one in my pussy. Not bad for someone over 21 years old. Pretty impressive. You know, you're weird. What? Fuck, I broke the fucking lock. Shit. Get the fuck out of the way, bitch. Oh, my god. What the fuck? What the fuck? Oh, Sean. You would be proud. Okay. Okay. Hey, Sergio, it's Cedra. Hi. Listen, I'm checking out an art space for a client of mine and, well, it's not gonna work. It is way too industrial. Way industrial, but I thought of you. I know you're looking for a space for your anti-Christmas- retro-goth experience. Yeah. Okay. I'll text you the address and the contact info, okay? Okay. Bye. Is anyone else here? The manager is upstairs. That's it? You're sure there's no one else here? Shit. Fuck. God damn it. Sit. I didn't know Sean was your father. God. Serendipity. Maybe mommy was there. You killed him. I didn't want to. He would've figured it out after the witness. Jesus. I have to get that detective too, tomorrow. I don't think the witness could've I.D.'D me but... But I've been too careless, too arrogant this time. I shouldn't have chosen her. But she was so... Perfect. Marshal, do you think your mother... My mother made me feel good. I know it wasn't right, even then. But I didn't know what to do. It felt so good, Katie. A good and beautiful woman... You can't exist. Someone to have a life with. Marshal, you can get help, honestly, you can. I have so much stuff, Katie. My apartment is in the best part of town, my car is beautiful. I want to be with her so bad. I'm the only one that she knew. She was the only one that I knew. I... I just want to be with her. I know she's not right. No, marshal, let me help you. - Give me the gun. - Oh, no, no. I... I killed Sean. I know. I have a shirt that costs $500, cotton, plastic buttons. A shirt. Marshal. Marshal. Rich fucking whores, thinking they're better than me. Who... Who are you? Die. Mama. Mama. I've filed the power of attorney weeks ago and my lawyer immediately sent a draft over via courier and we have the signed receipt. Do you happen to know who signed for the file? I don't know, some incompetent bitch. I'm sorry, I don't happen to have that particular document in your file. You piece of shit. My father is on his deathbed. I'm his only child, I take care of him, and your incompetence will not deprive me of my estate. And when this gets sorted out, Kappel Roberts will not be managing my funds and you can expect to hear from my... life gets so crazy sometimes And so do I and I can't explain to you why I couldn't compromise and I'll never know why I couldn't keep you satisfied but before we part ways, boy I just got to know does she love you like I love you? And does she kiss you until you fall asleep at night? And does she tell you all the things that you wanna hear? Does she does she, does she and why didn't I? Well, life gets so crazy sometimes And so does love and I'm trying to separate my head from my heart but know you're no good for me Makes it no easier to let you go but it's a matter of pride now I just got to know does she love you like I loved you? This will work. Timmy? Where is he? I think he's up there. Is he up there? I heard him, you know. |
