Dhaxalka kafeega. Tate iyo Polanski waxay u guureen Chateau Marmont ee Los Angeles dhowr bilood ilaa ay ka heshiiyeen inay kiraystaan guriga Patty Duke ee ku yaal Summit Ridge Drive ee Beverly Hills qeybta dambe ee 1968. Guriga Polanski waxaa inta badan buux dhaafi jiray shisheeyaha, Tate waxay u aragtay jawiga aan caadiga ahayn inuu qayb ka yahay "ruuxi xor ahaanta" ee waqtigaas, iyadoo sheegtay inaysan ka walwalsanayn cidda ku soo gasha gurigeeda maadaama halku dhigeedu ahaa "ku noolow oo u oggolow inay ku noolaato". Saaxiibkeed Leslie Caron ayaa faallo ka bixisay in reer Polanski ay ahaayeen kuwo aad u aamin badan, "ilaa heer ay ka xishoodaan", iyo in ay ka walwalsan tahay.
