3
00:19:14,027 --> 00:19:16,530
You wanted to know
how I met Charlie?

4
00:19:18,991 --> 00:19:22,452
Not really much to tell.
I played music with Charlie.

5
00:19:23,036 --> 00:19:25,247
Tried to help him get
a recording contract…

6
00:19:27,207 --> 00:19:30,586
…by helping him to record
some good quality demos.

7
00:19:32,379 --> 00:19:35,340
I was in that music community
in Los Angeles.

8
00:19:36,842 --> 00:19:39,136
I was friends with Dennis Wilson
of the Beach Boys.

9
00:19:40,888 --> 00:19:42,681
Charlie had some talent.

10
00:19:45,350 --> 00:19:47,686
People thought that he should be able to

11
00:19:48,729 --> 00:19:50,564
get his songs out there in the world.

12
00:20:01,450 --> 00:20:05,287
Gregg Jakobson,
Dennis Wilson, and I…

13
00:20:07,831 --> 00:20:12,211
were interested in
getting Charlie to settle down,

14
00:20:12,294 --> 00:20:16,089
come into a studio,
just him and his guitar,

15
00:20:16,173 --> 00:20:17,883
play and sing his songs.

16
00:20:18,592 --> 00:20:22,804
And let's see if we can get
a decent recording to use as a demo.

17
00:30:06,012 --> 00:30:09,891
I showed up at Spahn Ranch
just for a visit.

18
00:30:11,017 --> 00:30:15,772
Charlie pulled me aside and he told me
that he had killed a Black Panther.

19
00:30:16,523 --> 00:30:20,985
His name is Bernard Crowe,
he's a low-rent drug dealer in Los Angeles.

20
00:30:23,071 --> 00:30:25,114
He was not a Black Panther.

21
00:30:25,615 --> 00:30:27,325
He looked the part

22
00:30:27,408 --> 00:30:30,453
because it was fashionable
in those days to be that.

23
00:30:31,287 --> 00:30:35,625
Charlie assumed, wrongly,
that he had killed the guy.

24
00:30:36,376 --> 00:30:39,045
He thought that he had killed
a Black Panther.

25
00:30:40,421 --> 00:30:45,552
He said that he was expecting
a retaliation from the Black Panthers.

26
00:30:46,886 --> 00:30:49,264
He asked me if I would stay and help

27
00:30:49,806 --> 00:30:52,725
because there were not enough men
at the ranch.

28
00:30:53,309 --> 00:30:55,687
That was part of my downfall.

29
00:31:19,752 --> 00:31:25,216
Everybody was on the lookout
for a carload of Black Panthers.

30
00:31:25,717 --> 00:31:29,971
Every car that came up was being examined.

31
00:31:31,681 --> 00:31:34,350
Meanwhile, there just wasn't much going on

32
00:31:34,434 --> 00:31:37,145
and there were bikers hanging out there.

33
00:31:38,813 --> 00:31:44,110
I was building a motorcycle at that time,
so I sort of idolized these bikers.

34
00:31:46,821 --> 00:31:49,449
I got involved in a drug deal with them.

35
00:31:51,993 --> 00:31:55,496
I had a friend in Topanga Canyon,
Gary Hinman,

36
00:31:57,248 --> 00:32:02,211
who had a batch of encapsulated mescaline
that he was selling.

37
00:32:08,217 --> 00:32:13,431
The next day, the bikers came back
and wanted their money back.

38
00:32:14,349 --> 00:32:17,977
The reason was
that they said they all got sick on it,

39
00:32:19,395 --> 00:32:22,273
and they probably didn't like
the hallucinations.

40
00:32:23,274 --> 00:32:26,819
They threatened me,
held a knife to my throat.

41
00:32:35,244 --> 00:32:37,372
The only option

42
00:32:37,455 --> 00:32:40,124
was to see if Gary would give me
the money back.

43
00:32:42,335 --> 00:32:43,836
I pulled the gun on him.

44
00:32:45,046 --> 00:32:47,632
And he said, "I don't have it anymore."

45
00:32:47,715 --> 00:32:52,220
I said, "Look, Gary, I just need something
to get the bikers off my back."

46
00:32:53,554 --> 00:32:55,723
He said, "You can have my cars."

47
00:33:02,981 --> 00:33:06,526
Suddenly, Manson shows up at the door.

48
00:33:08,194 --> 00:33:10,655
Gary says, "Hi, Charlie!"

49
00:33:12,824 --> 00:33:16,244
Charlie steps in
and slashes him across the face.

50
00:33:19,247 --> 00:33:23,459
My exact words.
"Charlie, why did you do that?"

51
00:33:38,224 --> 00:33:42,478
Realizing his mistake,
Manson left me with the problem.

52
00:33:48,401 --> 00:33:50,319
So I sat with Gary for a day,

53
00:33:52,280 --> 00:33:55,658
trying to smooth everything over.

54
00:33:57,326 --> 00:34:00,371
I used dental floss
and a needle to sew up his ear.

55
00:34:02,707 --> 00:34:06,711
But it should have been stitched.
There's no question.

56
00:34:09,088 --> 00:34:11,758
But if I took him to an emergency room,

57
00:34:12,258 --> 00:34:15,011
I knew that he was going to tell
what happened.

58
00:34:15,762 --> 00:34:18,514
It was gonna bring
the whole world down on top of me.

59
00:34:23,895 --> 00:34:25,229
I called Charlie.

60
00:34:29,317 --> 00:34:31,402
I said, "This is your problem."

61
00:34:31,486 --> 00:34:35,114
"You need to come
and take care of what you created."

62
00:34:37,658 --> 00:34:42,580
His response was I knew what to do
as well as he did.

63
00:34:42,663 --> 00:34:43,790
And hung up the phone.

64
00:34:48,169 --> 00:34:49,962
And I made this decision.

65
00:34:50,797 --> 00:34:52,924
I had to kill him and get out of there.

66
00:34:53,883 --> 00:34:56,260
I just ran at him, stabbed him twice.

67
00:34:57,595 --> 00:34:59,055
He went down, and he died.

68
00:35:08,648 --> 00:35:11,109
Because he would tell on me.

69
00:35:20,618 --> 00:35:25,289
I don't remember who put the paw print,
"POLITICAL PIGGY" on the wall.

70
00:35:26,749 --> 00:35:30,753
I remember that everybody had it
in their minds about the Black Panthers.

71
00:35:31,587 --> 00:35:35,633
We'd been kind of absorbed in that
for a couple of weeks

72
00:35:37,468 --> 00:35:39,762
since the Bernard Crowe shooting,

73
00:35:40,346 --> 00:35:44,767
and what Charlie had said,
that the Black Panthers were the enemies.

74
00:35:46,018 --> 00:35:47,979
There was an idea

75
00:35:48,062 --> 00:35:53,151
to make it seem that the Black Panthers
were responsible for killing Gary.

76
00:35:55,862 --> 00:35:59,073
Hence, the panther paw on the wall.

77
00:37:35,127 --> 00:37:36,420
Was it the next day?

78
00:37:38,172 --> 00:37:42,468
I don't really think that had a lot to do
with what happened.

79
00:37:45,388 --> 00:37:46,681
In order to understand what happened,

80
00:37:46,764 --> 00:37:49,433
you have to go back
to the Bernard Crowe shooting.

81
00:37:49,517 --> 00:37:51,602
Remember, Charlie thought
that he had killed him.

82
00:37:52,603 --> 00:37:56,232
He was afraid
somebody was going to snitch on him.

83
00:37:56,983 --> 00:38:01,070
The person that he was
afraid of the most was Tex Watson.

84
00:38:03,656 --> 00:38:08,411
He was part of Charlie's Family
living at Spahn Ranch.

85
00:38:10,413 --> 00:38:14,166
Tex Watson was a disciple of Charlie.

86
00:38:16,377 --> 00:38:18,546
He was worshipful.

87
00:38:23,634 --> 00:38:29,223
Watson had orchestrated the drug deal
with Bernard Crowe that backfired

88
00:38:29,724 --> 00:38:33,769
and put Charlie in the position
of having to kill Crowe.

89
00:38:35,604 --> 00:38:37,648
He really didn't know the guy.

90
00:38:37,732 --> 00:38:40,735
He just decided
he was going to save the day,

91
00:38:42,069 --> 00:38:46,198
get in the middle of something
that Tex Watson had created.

92
00:39:09,764 --> 00:39:14,894
Charlie's way
of protecting himself from Watson

93
00:39:14,977 --> 00:39:21,275
was the typical convict way of insurance.

94
00:39:22,193 --> 00:39:24,445
If someone is a potential snitch,

95
00:39:25,029 --> 00:39:31,035
then you make that person complicit
in illegal activity.

96
00:39:32,078 --> 00:39:37,541
You have something on them
just as they have something on you.

97
00:40:06,320 --> 00:40:08,280
I don't know if he knew
that I was in jail.

98
00:40:08,948 --> 00:40:10,908
There's no evidence of that.

99
01:07:05,646 --> 01:07:07,857
I can see where you would have

100
01:07:07,940 --> 01:07:10,484
thoughts about
the correlations of those things.

101
01:07:14,238 --> 01:07:16,532
I think it's important

102
01:07:16,615 --> 01:07:20,578
that the story be stripped down
to the bare bones.

103
01:07:22,038 --> 01:07:23,831
The bare bones of the thing.

104
01:07:27,084 --> 01:07:31,630
There's no doubt in my mind
what the motivation was. None. Zero.

105
01:07:36,135 --> 01:07:39,597
Charlie had gotten paranoid
of his own people.

106
01:07:40,598 --> 01:07:46,312
He wanted to bind them to him
through their committing bad crimes.

107
01:07:47,229 --> 01:07:48,647
That was the true motive.

108
01:07:51,859 --> 01:07:55,696
So he sent Tex Watson

109
01:07:57,239 --> 01:07:58,324
to kill Terry.

110
01:07:59,742 --> 01:08:01,827
Terry lived at Cielo Drive.

111
01:08:03,662 --> 01:08:08,042
All the time that Charlie knew him,
he lived at Cielo Drive.

112
01:08:09,502 --> 01:08:11,796
He didn't know that Terry had moved.

113
01:08:13,005 --> 01:08:15,925
Watson asked,
"What if there's somebody else there?"

114
01:08:16,425 --> 01:08:19,095
Charlie just told him
to kill whoever's there.

115
01:08:22,723 --> 01:08:27,520
The ignorance of not knowing
that Terry had left that residence

116
01:08:28,312 --> 01:08:31,398
meant that five other people got murdered.

117
01:16:49,021 --> 01:16:52,232
Bugliosi knew what the truth was,
but didn't reveal it.

118
01:16:54,318 --> 01:16:58,614
It was not to start a race war,
which was Bugliosi's theory.

119
01:17:01,491 --> 01:17:03,118
He knew what the truth was.

120
01:17:04,244 --> 01:17:06,705
He knew that Manson talked about
that kind of shit.

121
01:17:07,414 --> 01:17:11,335
Stories told around the campfire
that really were just that.

122
01:17:13,003 --> 01:17:15,047
But it had nothing to do with the murders.

123
01:17:17,549 --> 01:17:19,718
His intention from the get-go

124
01:17:20,927 --> 01:17:23,680
was to do exactly what he did.

125
01:17:25,182 --> 01:17:28,810
Write a book,
make a bazillion dollars on that book,

126
01:17:29,478 --> 01:17:32,856
and live on it for the rest of his life.

127
01:17:32,939 --> 01:17:35,317
And sell the movie rights.

128
01:17:37,235 --> 01:17:38,487
Which is what he did.

129
01:17:39,613 --> 01:17:42,741
His writer was sitting in the courtroom

130
01:17:43,241 --> 01:17:46,411
taking notes for the book
that they were already writing

131
01:17:46,495 --> 01:17:49,456
while he was trying Charlie
and those three girls.

132
01:17:51,500 --> 01:17:53,043
He had to get a conviction.

133
01:17:53,126 --> 01:17:55,962
He wanted to portray himself in this book

134
01:17:56,046 --> 01:17:59,633
as the white knight protecting
all the people of America.

135
01:28:41,190 --> 01:28:45,069
How can I control your mind?
Can I make a robot out of you?

136
01:28:45,862 --> 01:28:47,947
Can you control mine
or make a robot out of me?

137
01:28:48,781 --> 01:28:51,159
People had Leslie van Houten
long before I had her.

138
01:28:51,242 --> 01:28:53,077
Her mother had her first.

139
01:28:53,161 --> 01:28:55,496
Her dad had her.
Her parents had her. Her school had her.

140
01:28:55,580 --> 01:28:57,415
The TV had her. The movies had her.

141
01:28:58,583 --> 01:29:01,961
And then you come up and say,
"Well, you had influence over her."

142
01:29:03,004 --> 01:29:04,589
Certainly I had influence over her,

143
01:29:04,672 --> 01:29:06,966
I have influence over everybody I meet.

144
01:29:07,050 --> 01:29:10,470
But that doesn't mean
that I directed her to be herself.

145
01:29:13,222 --> 01:29:14,932
I didn't set your house on fire.

146
01:29:15,016 --> 01:29:16,976
Don't blame me for your children.

147
01:29:18,227 --> 01:29:20,772
You raised your children,
you programmed your children,

148
01:29:20,855 --> 01:29:22,482
and you made your children.

149
01:30:15,952 --> 01:30:19,372
The problem
with this story in particular

150
01:30:20,665 --> 01:30:25,253
is that people are very fond of their…

151
01:30:29,257 --> 01:30:30,299
fantasy.

152
01:30:34,303 --> 01:30:39,517
They don't want to hear
how mundane the story actually is,

153
01:30:41,102 --> 01:30:46,607
how not a mastermind Charlie actually was.

154
01:30:48,651 --> 01:30:50,570
In his paranoid delusions,

155
01:30:51,237 --> 01:30:53,948
in his miscalculations,

156
01:30:56,242 --> 01:30:57,452
it was just

157
01:30:58,453 --> 01:31:00,455
blunder after blunder after blunder.

158
01:31:03,875 --> 01:31:07,420
If you only knew
what I know now in terms of

159
01:31:08,796 --> 01:31:10,339
the criminal mindset.

160
01:31:17,555 --> 01:31:18,806
Yeah, they do.

161
01:31:21,267 --> 01:31:23,811
They want it to be more complicated
than it is,

162
01:31:23,895 --> 01:31:28,065
and it's so hard to disabuse people
from those fantasies.
