01:19Good evening. I'm Winston Knight, and this is PM News at 6.
01:24Tonight's top story from Bogota, Colombia.
01:27A machine gun attack in broad daylight has left Colombia's chief drug prosecutor dead and seven others badly injured.
01:34The assassin riding on the back of a motorcycle fired at point-blank range as Juan Miguel Sandino left his
01:40office in the Ministry of Justice building in the center of the capital city.
01:44The others wounded were three bodyguards and four bystanders.
01:48The gunmen escaped in afternoon rush hour traffic.
01:52The attack comes two days after Sandino announced the indictment of 14 key members of the Medellin drug cartel, which
01:58controls $3 billion in annual cocaine sales.
02:13The cutlet...
02:22The cutlet...
02:31Oh, my God.
02:55Oh, my God.
03:25Oh, my God.
03:33Now, do you understand everything that I've told you?
03:37Good.
03:38Very good.
03:42I want you to take this.
03:45This is the phone number for my direct line.
03:48I want you to call me precisely at 1128.
03:52Do you understand?
03:55Good.
03:56Very, very good.
03:58Now, hands.
04:02You must project the right image.
04:05That's the secret of success, you know.
04:28Look, we don't have to eat hot dogs.
04:30We can go to a restaurant.
04:31I do make some money at the store, you know.
04:33I like simple things.
04:34That's why I like you, right?
04:36Come on.
04:38Do you pick up every girl that comes into your shop?
04:40No.
04:41I've never done this before in my life.
04:43Honest.
04:44No girl's ever come into the store.
04:45Cut it.
04:46Cut it now.
04:47Here we go.
04:53Do you think the killer will call again tonight?
04:57I don't know, Marlene.
04:59I just don't know.
05:04People are afraid to go to their houses at night.
05:06He's up to what?
05:07Eight killings?
05:08Nine.
05:15These really aren't bad for a buck.
05:17Hey, you're getting mustard all over it.
05:19Will you look at that smile?
05:21Have you ever seen such a cute smile?
05:23Yours isn't bad, either.
05:25Don't you take anything seriously?
05:27Yeah.
05:28Some things.
05:44Hi.
05:49Hi.
05:50Hi.
06:22Who is it?
06:23Who's there?
06:30Why?
06:33Is it really you?
06:38Thank you for a lovely time.
06:40I had a great time, too.
06:42Say, it's only 11.15.
06:44You mind if I come in?
06:46I have to get up early.
06:49Next time.
06:52I am such a klutz.
06:56I think you're just fine.
07:06You can keep that.
07:09No, no, you should have this.
07:11I have an idea.
07:28Good night, Ryan.
07:30Good night.
07:41I just cannot believe it's really you walking me home.
07:44My friends will just not believe it.
07:55No.
07:56No.
07:57No.
07:57No.
07:59Ah!
08:00Ah!
08:02Ah!
08:03Ah!
08:11Oh, my God.
08:56He urged all citizens to take extreme care if they must go out at night alone.
09:06Hello?
09:07Winston Knight?
09:08Yes.
09:09Check the alley between Lamont and Grand.
09:12Look, whoever you are, why don't you tell me about it?
09:15You'll trace the call.
09:17Don't hang up.
09:28Anyone who thinks they know anything at all that could lead to the arrest of the man whose voice you
09:34have just heard, please call Detective Sergeant Duncan at homicide.
09:40I would like to say that if there is anything that KBLA or myself can do to help police find
09:48the machete killer and put an end to these brutal, extensive crimes, we'll be done.
09:55For PM News, this is Winston Knight. Good evening.
10:02I hate to say this, but I can't wait to see the overnights or why this nut would choose you
10:07to pour his heart out to beats me.
10:09But thank God he did because you were on your way to the ash heap old boy.
10:12So you keep telling me, Phil.
10:13How about you get a reprieve? Our ratings have shot up like a Fourth of July rocket.
10:18We couldn't have done better if we'd planned it ourselves.
10:23No, I guess not.
10:25Hey, how about a drink? I'm buying.
10:28Sure, Phil. Sure. I'll be right along. Okay?
11:04Let me get this straight. Now, you say the killing took place around a quarter after 11?
11:08Yeah, that's right. Well, how can you be sure of that?
11:11Well, I looked at my watch. I was gonna come in, have some tea, but Kathy's gotta work in the
11:17morning.
11:18I looked at my watch.
11:20I see. And the man you saw looked like Winston Knight.
11:24No, not like him. It was him.
11:27Well, how do you explain the fact that the station confirms that Knight was on the air from 11 to
11:3011.30?
11:31I can't.
11:32What's more, the killer you saw called him on the air at 11.28 sharp after the killing.
11:37What do you want me to say? Maybe he's got a twin brother or something.
11:40The light was pretty dim in that alley, wasn't it?
11:44Look, you wanted to know what I saw. That's what I saw.
11:48The first eyewitness to see the machete killer, and this is what I come up with.
11:52I know it sounds crazy.
11:53Crazy's not the word for it.
11:56Well, why don't you call him? Ask him. See if the killer said anything about him looking like Winston Knight.
12:10Ross.
12:11Yeah, you got Winston Knight's home phone number, Heidi?
12:15Mm-hmm.
12:18Okay, great. Thanks.
12:31Thanks.
12:32Yes?
12:33Uh, Mr. Knight, this is Detective Sergeant Duncan, Homicide.
12:36Yeah, sorry to disturb you at this time of night, but, uh, we had an eyewitness to the killing tonight.
12:42You did?
12:43Yes.
12:44How fortunate.
12:46That's our first big break in the case, isn't it?
12:48Who was it?
12:50I'd rather not say.
12:51Sergeant, no one has been more closely involved in this case than myself, is that right?
12:56Off the record?
12:58Yes, of course.
13:00A young man named Ryan Dalyan.
13:03Look, I know this is gonna sound bizarre, but is there anything the killer said that indicates he might look
13:08like you?
13:08Is that what he said?
13:10Yeah, I swear as the guy could be your twin brother.
13:14Well, you can assure him, Sergeant, that I only have a sister.
13:17Okay, sorry to bother you.
13:19Not at all.
13:25Uh, thanks for all your help. Um, any other thoughts come to mind? You know where to find me.
13:32You don't believe me, do you?
13:35Would you?
14:04Sorry to drag you into all this.
14:06It's all right. It's not your fault.
14:08Call me later?
14:26I'm sorry about waking you guys up.
14:28What makes you think you're dead?
14:30Look, I know it was him. He was this close.
14:33Ryan, I hate to tell you this, but I watched the 11 o'clock news this evening. And I saw
14:39Winston Knight. The killer called in while he was on the air.
14:44Well, if it wasn't him, then who was it?
14:47Isn't that a question that's left for the police?
14:49It could have been anybody wearing a mask or somebody who looks like him. Who knows?
14:56There has to be an explanation.
14:59I know what you're thinking.
15:01Well, have we checked the manifest?
15:03Don't you think, Ryan, that if I'd seen Winston Knight's name in the manifest, I would have remembered him besides
15:08what kind of a cursed object could it possibly be?
15:12Well, I'm going back to bed.
15:14You have had a hard day.
15:17Jack, are you coming?
15:19Hmm?
15:19Yeah.
15:20Yeah, in a minute.
15:22I'm going back.
15:23Right, this is a joke.
15:25Yeah, that was fun from Ying sir.
15:32No, dog.
15:34No, dog.
15:35No, dog.
15:38No, dog.
16:05so that would make it the biggest snowfall so far this year huh well we better all be careful
16:10and summing up tonight's top story the machete killer has claimed another victim

17:45oh
17:45oh
17:45oh
18:04Welcome.
18:06Welcome.
18:07Come on.
18:15You look fine. You look just fine.
18:25Damn, he's early.
18:32Come into the darkroom.
18:41Hi. My name is Ryan Dalyan.
18:43Ah, yes. I'm pleased to meet you.
18:44This is my friend, Kathy Steiner.
18:46How do you do?
18:47I'm delighted to meet you.
18:49Please.
18:56Won't you sit down? Make yourselves comfortable.
19:02I'm a big fan of yours.
19:05Please, don't make me into a celebrity.
19:07I'm just a working reporter.
19:08Would either of you like a drink?
19:10Uh, no. I think we're fine.
19:19I'm glad that you called me this morning, Ryan,
19:21because if you hadn't, I probably would have called you.
19:23Why?
19:25Because you and I belong to quite a select club,
19:29which no one wants to join.
19:31Unlike you, of course,
19:32I've only dealt with this murderer via the telephone.
19:35You've actually seen him up close.
19:38I was thinking maybe you and I could work together.
19:41Maybe you could help me catch him.
19:45Make a hell of a story, Ryan.
19:47I'd give you full credit, of course.
19:51Is something wrong?
19:54Uh, no. No, I just can't get over how much you look like him.
19:58It's incredible.
20:02Yes.
20:04Detective Duncan told me what you said.
20:07Yeah, this has taken a terrible toll on me, I must tell you.
20:12Having to listen to this sadistic murderer's ramblings,
20:16waiting for the next murder to occur,
20:19I can't sleep at night.
20:21Every time I try to, I have these dreadful nightmares.
20:25I understand.
20:26Every time the phone rings, I get sick.
20:28I keep asking myself, why me?
20:30Why am I the only one?
20:32Of course.
20:34Until you.
20:39But because of you, Ryan,
20:41I'm beginning to understand some of it.
20:44Obviously, this murderer has...
20:46some fixation.
20:48An obsession, if you will, with my television image.
20:51Probably based on some actual resemblance, but...
20:55maybe he resorted to makeup.
20:57Possibly even to plastic surgery to look more like me.
21:00But if there's someone else running around who looks just like you,
21:03why can't the police find him?
21:06If he's clever enough to fool you,
21:08don't you think he's clever enough to fool the police?
21:12I'm sorry.
21:14I'd love to speak with you more about this,
21:16but you know how it is in this business.
21:18There's always a deadline.
21:22Could we possibly continue this later?
21:24Some other time?
21:26Sure. Anytime.
21:35Bye.
21:36It was nice to meet you.
21:38The pleasure has been all mine.
21:40Good night.
21:42So, that was the famous Winston Knight.
21:44I think he's kind of neat.
21:46Yeah? I thought it was kind of weird.
21:47Are you jealous?
21:49Jealous? No.
21:51It's that face. I can't get it out of my head.
21:53It was him.
21:57Come on.
21:58I'll give you a ride home.
22:00No, I have some shopping to do.
22:01Besides, I need the exercise. It's not far.
22:03I'll talk to you later.
22:10Thanks for letting me tag along. It was exciting.
22:13Hmm.
22:19I could think of some other exciting things to do.
22:22Uh-huh. Home.
22:39Oh, damn it. My purse.
22:47I don't want any more witnesses. Do you understand?
22:49I don't need anybody corroborating that kid's story.
22:51Why must you always destroy me?
22:53Because that's the way it is.
22:55It's either you or me.
22:56Now, you've got five hours to exist.
22:58You know what you have to do.
22:59Enjoy yourself.
23:34I'll go.
23:35I'll go.
23:35I'll go.
23:36Stop it.
23:49Good evening. I'm Winston Knight, and this is PM News at 6.
23:54Tonight's top story from City Hall.
23:56Council spent more than six hours today in a raucous debate over...
24:00So what did you think of the great Winston Knight?
24:03Kathy was impressed. He talked sense.
24:05He exuded confidence.
24:07He was everything he seems to be on television.
24:12Only?
24:13Only, I don't know. There's something creepy about him.
24:17Like what?
24:19Well, he wouldn't answer my questions.
24:22Every time I asked him one, he'd just blow it off.
24:25Well, he's a reporter, remember?
24:27He's not supposed to answer the questions he asked them.
24:29Well, what are you two being up to?
24:31Obviously, not as much as you.
24:32So where have you been all day?
24:34Prospecting, and I think I struck pay dirt anyway.
24:36That talk we had last night, it got me thinking.
24:39I couldn't sleep anyway.
24:40I got the manifest out, and I made a list of all the objects that could possibly make a copy
24:45of someone.
24:46You know, things like mirrors, prisms, paintings, all that sort of thing.
24:51And I came up with a camera.
24:56A camera?
24:57A picture, I'm sure.
24:59And it was sold to a guy named Khan.
25:01Yeah, but who's Khan?
25:02A better question would be, what is Khan?
25:06Come on, you two, where's your deductive reasoning?
25:08Khan.
25:09No first name, no address.
25:11So what are you saying?
25:12I couldn't figure it out myself at first for a while, anyway.
25:15I wrote it down eight different ways.
25:17Then it dawned on me, it's not Khan.
25:21It's K-A-H and the I in the city.
25:24Of course, the call letters of a television station.
25:26All right, let's go.
25:56Answer, damn it, please answer.
25:59Hi, this is Ryan.
26:00Hello, Ryan, this is Kathy.
26:02We're out right now, but if you leave a message, we'll call you when we get back.
26:06Ryan, it's Kathy.
26:08I went back to Knight's house, and you were right.
26:09There are two Winston Knights, and one of them had a machete.
26:14They were arguing.
26:15Well, one of them said, um, why must you always destroy me?
26:18And the other said, it's either you or me.
26:23Ryan, they saw me.
26:25I'm scared.
26:26Ryan, I'm scared.
26:26Gunboats on fire on two more oil tanks.
26:29Panamanian registered freighter of the Assad Hive was hit by three missiles and was on fire enlisted badly.
26:35Two members are missing after traumatic...
26:37How did you?
26:38...the rescue of the survivors.
26:39A Japanese ship, Kota Mariah, broadcast was expressed in only an hour after the war.
26:46There is a radio that says you can't be hit because...
26:49...the rescue of the survivors.
26:54...the rescue of the survivors.
26:56...the Japanese ship, Kota Mariah, broadcast was expressed in only an hour after the war.
26:56I love it!
26:57...and so hard on my land.
26:58No!
26:59No, no!
27:04No!
27:04No!
27:07No!
27:07No!
27:07No!
27:08No!
27:09No!
27:10No!
27:10No!
27:10No!
27:14No!
27:20No!
27:21stronger measures could be taken.
27:36Well, it's starting to come together, Ryan.
27:39Winston Knight was certainly employed by KAHN
27:42exactly at the time that the camera was sold by Uncle Lewis.
27:44And he could have easily stolen it.
27:46Yes, he could.
27:47Ryan, it's Kathy.
27:49I went back to Knight's house, and you were right.
27:50There are two Winston Knights, and one of them had a machete.
27:55They were arguing.
27:56One of them said, um, why must you always destroy me?
28:00And the other said, it's either you or me.
28:04Ryan, they saw me.
28:06I'm scared.
28:10Ryan.
28:11Hey, Mickey, stay here.
28:13I'll go with him.
28:30Oh, my God.
28:32Oh, my God.
28:34No.
28:35Easy, easy.
28:41I'm sorry.
28:44The coroner's office said she died a little after six.
28:48I'm going to need a statement.
28:50That's going to have to wait.
28:53Look, I...
28:55Go on, Ryan.
28:56You can't do any more.
28:57Go to the next.
28:57Come on.
29:07It's my fault.
29:09It's him.
29:09I know it's him.
29:10I should have never let her come along.
29:11Get a hold of yourself, Ryan.
29:13It's not your fault.
29:14There's no way in the world you could have known.
29:16I'm going to tell him.
29:17It's Knight.
29:18It's Knight.
29:18You can't tell anybody anything.
29:21Look, Knight has got a perfect talent.
29:23By damn it, he was on the air.
29:25It's like always, Ryan.
29:27We're on our own.
29:30Come on, my friend.
29:59Look, just concentrate on one thing.
30:03We've got to get that camera and every negative he made with it.
30:07What happened?
30:28I'm going to get him.
30:29Come on.
30:30Ryan.
30:44No, you killed her.
30:45I know you did.
30:47Son, I don't know what you're talking about.
30:50Security.
30:51I've got it all on tape.
30:52Kathy called me before she died.
30:54You want to hear it?
30:55It's all about the duplicate.
30:56The one that kills people.
30:57You're crazy.
30:59Look, if you don't leave me alone, I'm going to have you arrested.
31:01I'm crazy.
31:01I'm crazy.
31:05Give me that.
31:06Give me that.
31:07Stop that, kid.
31:09Get him.
31:10That's right.
31:10Stop it.
31:12Get him.
31:13Get back here.
31:15Get him.
31:16Get him.
31:16Call it.
31:17Get him.
31:18Give me that.
31:19Stop it.
31:20Open this door right now.
31:31The negative.
31:32The negative.
31:33The negative.
31:33He was trying to burn it.
31:35Ah, yes.
31:36The negative.
31:37That's how he destroys the duplicate.
31:39What are you saying?
31:41I'll be doing some research into the use of images in the occult.
31:44The duplicate only has a limited life of about five hours.
31:48If the negative isn't burned before then, then the original dies.
31:54You remember what Kathy was saying?
31:56It's between knight and the duplicate.
31:58If the duplicate lives too long, knight dies.
32:01Which means if he doesn't have the negative.
32:04I've got knight's life in my hands.
32:07But the duplicate with his machete is still alive.
32:13Hey, watch it.
32:14You trying to kill yourself?
32:20No.
32:23No.
32:25I want to live.
32:28I want to live.
32:32Ryan, you have to destroy it.
32:35No, no, no, not yet.
32:37If we can hold on to that negative, we can blackmail knight into giving us back the camera.
32:44After all, it's his life, isn't it?
32:47Ryan, let me have it.
32:48No.
32:49I don't care about the damn camera.
32:52I've got knight's life right here in my hands.
32:54I'm going to see that he goes to hell with Uncle Lewis.
32:56That won't bring Kathy back.
32:58Knight is the only person who knows where that camera is.
33:00Don't you see? It could fall into somebody else's hands.
33:04Then the killing could go on and on.

36:49Hello, Phil. Winston.
36:52Listen, I'm going to need you and a crew
36:54to meet me at a small shop called Curious Goods.
36:57Phil, just do it.
36:58This is going to be the biggest story of our lives, Phil.
37:01The capture of the machete murderer.
37:34Ryan, please, would you stop that? You're driving me crazy.
37:37I can't get it out of my head.
37:39Knight's going to get away with murder.
37:40Let's just wait for Jack to get back with the camera,
37:42then we'll deal with Knight.
37:45Jeez, he scared the hell out of me.
37:47The camera!
37:48Where's the negative?
37:50I'll put this in the vault.
37:52Jack, we've got the camera and the negative.
37:53We don't have to destroy it.
37:55I want the negative.
37:58All right.
38:26Hi, Phil.
38:27Dex. What's this about the machete murderer? It's his station manager's dream, Phil. The machete
38:31murderer's about to surrender to Winston Knight, and we're gonna get it all on tape. Hey, don't kid
38:35a neurotic. He's gonna come out of that store a few minutes before 10, so just be ready. The
38:40killer's in there? That's right. Now, Winston, we gotta call the cops. Are you crazy, Phil? Do you
38:46want to spoil the biggest moment of our careers? Well, what about the people in the shop? Do you
38:51want this story or not, Phil? Jack, if we just hold on to the negative for just a few more
39:02minutes... Get it. Okay. What's the matter with you, Jack? You're acting awful strange. Good thing you
39:09didn't break that camera on the way home. It's our only chance to get the negative. I was extra careful.
39:21What's going on? No, Jack, it's a dupe. He didn't know Kirstav just can't break.
39:32Give me that. Phil, can you get him moving, please? We're running out of time. I want to
39:36get some... Give me the microphone. Give me the microphone. Come on, come on. Right here.
39:40Get the store in the background. Have you got me?
39:50Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. This is Winston Knight, standing outside a store known
39:53as Curious Goods, just moments away from the capture of the notorious machete murderer.
40:23As you know, this is a story that I have been following personally for quite some time now.
40:32Turn around very slowly. Wait, wait. Give it to him. Here it is.
40:58Come on.
41:00Tip, earlier this evening at KBLA Studios at the machete mer...
41:08We've been keeping vigil ever since that time.
41:12Uh...
41:12Uh, two people have managed to escape from the building. We didn't know that anyone was inside.
41:20Cut the cam... Cut... Cut the camera. Take the... Keep rolling. What are you... Give me that.
41:28Negative. This... This is my triumph. This is where I captured the machete murderer.
41:38Give me that negative.
41:40Five people have managed to escape.
42:01Two people have encountered them.
42:06One. Two people have attacked the protesters.
42:21I'm alive!
42:58How's Ryan?
42:59Getting by, I guess.
43:01He's really depressed.
43:04Well, it figures, doesn't it?
43:06Jack?
43:07How do you suppose Knight first learned about the curse?
43:11I would guess that Uncle Lewis told him.
43:15I wonder what would have happened if that duplicate had lived.
43:21I suppose it would have behaved much the same as Knight did.
43:25Using the camera to make an endless parade of mindless killers.
43:30Thank goodness that camera's locked up.
43:33Now all we have to do is worry about Ryan.
43:37Ryan, how are you doing?
43:39Hmm.
43:40You know, I just realized something.
43:41It isn't the objects that are cursed.
43:42We are.
43:43Everyone that comes near us dies.
43:46Ryan, you didn't kill Kathy.
43:49Winston Knight did.
43:50And nine others before her.
43:53Thanks to you, there won't be any more.
43:56There are always a lot of terrible risks in fighting pure evil.
44:00Think of the consequences if we didn't fight it.
44:06Mickey, give me a hand-making supper, would you?
44:19Look, we don't have to eat hot dogs.
44:21We can go to a restaurant.
44:22I do make some money at the store, you know.
44:23I like simple things.
44:25That's why I like you.
44:26Come on.
44:35See you next time.
44:41The close the door went.
44:41See you next time.
44:42Okay, let's say Ean C iron, let's see you here.
