Manhunt

1 (DOOR OPENS) - (MONITOR BEEPING RHYTHMICALLY) - (INDISTINCT CHATTER) There are no journalists here.
There are drugs.
The therapies are complex, difficult.
But we have options.
When I was a child I had an older sister.
Before Donatella was born.
Her name was Tina.
At ten years old, she became very ill with peritonitis.
My parents sent me away to live with my aunt and my uncle while they nursed her.
But I couldn't be away from my family for long, so one day, I ran all the way back home.
And when I walked into the house, I saw her, my older sister, in an open casket surrounded by white flowers.
No one had told me she had died.
Until that moment, I always believed that if you get sick, you can also get better.
(FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING) I need to talk to him.
(DOOR CLOSES) What is Versace without you? It will be you.
(SCOFFS) Who am I without you? You will find out.
(SIGHS) You hate me, don't you? He wasn't enough for you? This house, this life.
You wanted more.
More fun, more men.
I understand.
That is your business.
But why bring him into it? 'Cause he chose to.
No, he chose you.
He went along with it because of you.
Because he knew what you were thinking.
"Not handsome enough for handsome Antonio.
" I am not a villain.
And he's not a saint.
My brother has a weakness for beauty.
He forgives it anything.
But I am not my brother.
But we can agree on something.
You knew he wanted a family.
Why didn't you give him one? 'Cause we're not allowed.
You could have found a way.
He celebrated your marriage.
He shed tears of joy in church for your fucking union! What have you done but belittle me and criticize his choice? What have you done for him? What have you given him? Stability? Safety? Children? If you had given him anything, I would have given you respect.
But you've given him nothing.
(DOOR OPENS, SLAMS) VERSACE: I try not to be bitter, Antonio.
I was never bitter before.
If I was sad, I create.
If I was angry, I create.
But now, I'm too I'm too sick.
I'm too sick to-to work and too sick to For the first time in my life, I-I'm jealous.
I'm jealous of him.
I'm jealous of her.
I I just want it out, Antonio.
I just want it out, my love.
I just want it out.
Just get it out of me, my love.
Get it (SEABIRDS SQUAWKING) (FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING SLOWLY) I need us to be a family.
I cannot do this if we're not.
(LEAVES RUSTLING IN WIND) Donatella, please.
- Please.
- (DONATELLA SIGHS) He's gone, Antonio.
There is no need for us to pretend anymore.
(DOORS CLOSE) - (REPORTERS CLAMORING) - Donatella! MAN: Versace! (CAMERA SHUTTERS CLICKING) WOMAN: Donatella! (MOTORCYCLE ENGINE REVVING) (CLAMORING CONTINUES FAINTLY) (FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING) (SNIFFLES) (CRYING SOFTLY) (KISSES SOFTLY) (QUIETLY): Gianni.

I don't have a reservation, and I know it's very unlikely because this hotel has such a great position right next to the oceanfront, but by any chance, do you have a room? If you have I.
D.
"Kurt DeMarrs.
" - You're French? - I was born in Nice.
Have you ever been? To Nice? No.
It's beautiful.
You should go sometime.
I hope to go back soon, maybe raise a family but first, I need to make my way in the world.
I'm a fashion student I traveled all the way here just so I can share a few words with Mr.
Versace.
I hear he's very open to having conversations with young, aspiring students.
- A fashion student? - Don't judge by the clothes.
I don't have a dollar to spend on them.
But I think Mr.
Versace will find my conversation very excellent.
I would say, "Sir", "nothing is more inspiring to me than that one outfit that Carla Bruni wore.
" It was a skirt of crinoline, like a giant floral handkerchief, fastened with a gold belt, and daringly mismatched with a denim shirt.
I don't know much about crinoline or Mr.
Versace, but how does $29.
99 a night sound? Cash only.
Paid in advance.
No exceptions.
Are you saying that some people actually leave here without paying? All the time.
I chased one man.
Ran two blocks.
- Did you catch him? - No.
And I didn't want to.
I was just trying to make sure I kept my job.
(BOTH LAUGH) (MUFFLED CHATTER FROM OTHER ROOMS) (FLOOR CREAKS) (HORN HONKS IN DISTANCE) I'll take this camera.
And that hat, and sunglasses, the black ones.
(WINDING DISPOSABLE CAMERA) (SHUTTER CLICKING) (CLICKS) EVANS: Andrew Cunanan, 27 years old.
He's killed four men.
His murder spree began in Minneapolis.
Next murder was in the countryside by East Rush Lake.
Third victim was in Chicago.
The fourth man was in New Jersey.
- Why do you think he's now in Miami? - We don't know where he is.
Well, he's made the Bureau's Top Ten Most Wanted, which means right now, every FBI office in the country has agents looking for him.
Do you think he's more or less likely to be here compared to, say, Los Angeles or San Diego We intend to do our job on the assumption that he's coming here.
LORI: We're talking about a really small area.
The most popular gay venues are Twist, Warsaw Ballroom, Salvation, Amnesia The Beach on 12th Street, and we're here.
If he comes here, pretty much he'll have to walk right past us.
We could visit these places in a day.
I'm happy to take you around.
Let's get the flyers out, meet the bar owners, community leaders All right.
Detective (CLEARS THROAT) you haven't read the case files, but Cunanan won't be a regular tourist.
He's a predatory escort, which means he's going to target closeted, older, wealthy homosexuals.
Now, I've been told that bars in Fort Lauderdale serve those kinds of men.
So, you don't want to canvass South Beach as well? - Get the flyers out there.
- We only have ten right now.
GRUBER: We're having more printed.
- When will they be ready? - The flyers aren't a priority for us.
Well, that's certainly clear.
(AIR CONDITIONER WHIRRING, RATTLING) (SCOFFS SOFTLY) (CLEARS THROAT) I don't want to be a pain.
I don't want to be a pain.
I don't want to be a pain.
I don't want to be a pain, but growing up, I spent my summers swimming off the coast of Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat, so, being this close to the ocean, but not being able to see the water it makes me sad.
Don't tell anyone or they'll think I'm going soft.
(QUIETLY): I won't say a word.
(MUFFLED CHATTER FROM OTHER ROOMS) (WAVES CRASHING, SEABIRDS SQUAWKING) (INDISTINCT CHATTER) MAN: Hey, is that girl Amy still locked up? I'm sure she'll be out soon.
It's fine.
I'm Andy.
I heard Miriam call you Kurt.
What does Miriam call you? Everybody calls me Ronnie.
Know where to score? I don't do this kind of work anymore.
I mean, I've done it, but Look at me.
Who am I kidding? Did you have a bad experience? I didn't have a good one.
I worked at an AIDS awareness initiative in San Diego.
I was a volunteer.
I've helped a lot of people in my life.
When they were sick, when they were short cash, or when they needed someone they came to me.
You sick? No.
- Would you tell me if you were? - I might.
You know, I don't tell most people, 'cause most people freak out.
I'm not most people.
A few years ago, I was so close to dying.
I had said all my good-byes, spent all my money.
Living like I had one month to live.
And then they gave me these magic pills, and suddenly I'm not gonna die.
They had handed me my life back, and I didn't know what to do with it, so I came out here.
I read someplace that people like living by the ocean who don't have much living left.
You lose anyone? Lost my best friend.
And the love of my life.
I'm sorry.
Recently? This year.
Both of them? Yeah.
RONNIE: What brings you to Miami? - ANDREW: I know people.
- Oh, yeah? - Versace.
- Versace? - He's a fashion designer, lives in - No, no, I know who he is, just - You're friends? - Yeah, we met in San Francisco.
(UNZIPS SHORTS) I was helping him with the costumes for Capriccio.
It's an opera he was working on.
And one night he treated me to a meal at Stars.
Anyone who's anyone eats there.
You know it? Uh, Stars? No.
It made a celebrity out of its head chef.
Jeremiah Towers? (SCOFFS) Well, anyway, that's when he proposed to me.
Didn't work out, but we're still friends.
You ever wonder "what if"? Every day.
Yeah, he's a big deal out here.
Very popular.
He's always around.
You can say hi, he'll say hi back.
So I hear.
Nice man.
I'm not that into his clothes, though.
Well, that's because you don't know him.
I don't know him.
(SNICKERS) No, I don't know him, but his stores have windows.
I can see through the glass.
The more you know him, the more you'll like his clothes.
Is that so? The man invented his own fabrics.
When they told him what he wanted wasn't possible, he just created it himself.
Ever heard of Oroton? Oroton? It's a fine chain mail mesh of aluminum alloy so light that a woman can wear it on a hot summer's day.
- Sounds real nice.
- I (SCOFFS) I don't see something nice.
I see the man behind it.
A great creator.
A man I could have been.
Been with? Yeah.
Andy (INDISTINCT CROWD CHATTER) ANDREW: Don't worry about money.
I'm gonna share this with you 50-50.
I look after my friends.
That's always been important to me.
I don't know what to say.
How many times have you done this before? - Two? Three? - Yeah.
How many people do you employ in business? 300? 5,000 globally.
(WHISTLES) I can be submissive.
You have no idea.
("EASY LOVER" BY PHIL COLLINS, PHILIP BAILEY PLAYING) (MAN GROANS SOFTLY) Easy lover She'll get a hold on you, believe it (MAN GROANS) - Like no other - (MUFFLED GROANING) Before you know it, you'll be on your knees - You're helpless.
- (GROANS) - She's an easy lover - (GROANING) She'll take your heart - But you won't feel it - Accept it.
- (MUFFLED GROANING) - She's like no other And I'm just trying to make you see (VOLUME INCREASES): She's the kind of girl you dream of - (LOUD GROANING) - Dream of keeping hold of You'd better forget it - (LOUD GROANING) - Accept it.
You'll never get it - Accept it! - (GROANING) She will play around and leave you - (LOUD GROANING) - Leave you and deceive you Better forget it (LOUD GROANING) Oh, you'll regret it No, you'll never change her, so leave it - Leave it - Accept it.
Get out quick 'cause seeing is believing - It's the only way - (LOUD GROANING) You'll ever know - Hey, hey, hey.
- (GROANING) Last chance.
- (GASPS) - She's an easy lover - (BREATHING LOUDLY) - She'll get a hold on you - Believe it - (WHIMPERING) She's like no other Before you know it - You'll be on your knees - Isn't that special? You'll be down on your knees - She's an easy lover.
- (WHIMPERING) SERVER: Anything else, sir? If you could come back in 30 minutes for the trays.
Of course, sir.
30 minutes.
(LOBSTER SHELL CRACKING) You know, my mom used to bring me lobster when I was at school.
She'd bring it to me for lunch.
While all the other kids were eating peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, here I was with my little sachet of cracked black pepper wrapped up like a little gram of cocaine.
(SIGHS) (GLASS CLINKS) (SIGHS SOFTLY) (PANTING) (DIAL TONE) (LINE RINGING) WOMAN: 911.
What's your emergency? I WOMAN: What's your emergency? Nothing.
Back to life, back to reality Back to life, back to reality Back to life, back to reality Show me how Decide what you want from me Tell me maybe I could be there for you However do want want me Why does she have to hire these women? What don't you like? They look ill.
- (CAMERA SHUTTERS CLICKING) - MAN: Donatella! (INDISTINCT CHATTER) Girls, can you give us the room? I need to talk to my brother.
VERSACE: Mamma mia.
Okay.
I will continue later.
Okay? What happened? You agreed to try them.
Yes, Donatella, but I want my models to look like they enjoy life! Like they eat, at least.
Like they laugh, like they dance, they make love.
- What do those girls enjoy? - Front covers.
So, you think I cannot make the front cover anymore? Everybody's talking about Galliano and McQueen.
What are they doing next? Should I be asking myself, "What are people talking about?" If you want to sell any clothes, yes.
No, Donatella.
It comes from here first.
From here, and then, you hire the photographers, and then you throw the parties, and then you ask celebrities to wear our clothes, but that comes second.
I'm worried, Gianni.
Our shows were the future once.
When did I become the past? People see the same models, and they say the same thing.
"Versace, great, masterful, but I know this guy.
I knew him ten years ago, and here he is again.
" Donatella, I get better every day, stronger.
It's a miracle.
Maybe one day, I will tire of being thankful that I'm alive.
Maybe one day, it won't seem like a miracle, and I will be able to produce a show as dark and as morbid as you desire.
But until that day, life is special.
Life is precious, and that is how I feel.
And my shows must be about what I feel.
If not, they are about nothing.
Do you really think people will hear those words when they see your clothes? They won't.
You're wrong.
They will know.
They won't know the details, of course, but they will feel those emotions because the clothes will make them feel them.
Okay, you dress your girls, I dress mine.
- We'll see who wins.
- Perfect.
Let's fight.
We're family, it's okay to fight.
We'll fight.
- What dress will end the show? - A bride in a silver dress with a veil pulled back behind her head, not covering her face.
Mm.
How original.
Not a virgin bride, a Versace bride.
She will be a woman who's loved many men before.
A woman who's finally found her equal, a match for her passions.
She won't be dainty, she won't be timid.
She will be proud and strong.
And that's how I will end my show.
Our show.
Our show.
Now get the girls.
("YOU SHOWED ME" BY THE TURTLES PLAYING) (CAMERA SHUTTERS CLICKING) (APPLAUSE) You showed me how to do Exactly what you do, how I fell in love with you (APPLAUSE) - Oh, oh-oh, it's true - (CAMERA SHUTTERS CLICKING) Oh, I love you And when I tried it - (APPLAUSE) - I could see you fall And I decided It's not a trip at all You showed me how to do Exactly what you do - (APPLAUSE AND CHEERING) - How I fell in love with you You showed me what to say Exactly what you say In that very special way You taught it to me, too - Exactly what you do - (APPLAUSE AND CHEERING) And now you love me, too (APPLAUSE AND CHEERING SWELL) (SHOUTING, WHISTLING, APPLAUSE AND CHEERING) You love me, too.
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING SWELL) (SIREN WAILING) (SNIFFS) (LAUGHING) (LAUGH ECHOES) RONNIE: I used to be a florist, you know.
I was a good one.
I was thinking about starting up again here in Miami.
Just running a little kiosk.
It would need two people to run it.
Y-You and me.
And we get along well enough, I think, yeah? Anything's got to be better than working that beach.
Don't you think? Andy? I'm gonna take a shower.
Okay.
Yeah, yeah, a sh uh, a shower.
Why not? (SHOWER RUNNING) Andrew? What'd you do? Nothing.
I've done nothing.
I've done nothing my whole life.
That's the truth.
We're out.
I'll get more.

Yeah, brava.
Baby, big kiss for you, but I cannot let you in.
One is enough.
Okay? Will I see you again? I'm sure of it.
You don't have that money, do you? We were friends.
That was real, right? When someone asks you if we were friends you'll say no.
