1
00:00:01,335 --> 00:00:02,335
Hello.
2
00:00:02,803 --> 00:00:04,863
Yates chooses his
victims at random.
3
00:00:05,339 --> 00:00:07,501
Nadia Decotis was
tortured and killed.
4
00:00:07,608 --> 00:00:09,941
Yates transported
her to his burial ground.
5
00:00:10,444 --> 00:00:11,444
How many others?
6
00:00:11,512 --> 00:00:12,512
Seven so far.
7
00:00:12,579 --> 00:00:14,707
No forensics, nothing
to tie him to any of them?
8
00:00:14,882 --> 00:00:17,078
Green nail polish
was applied to victims.
9
00:00:17,184 --> 00:00:19,085
He either burned the
bodies or he buried them.
10
00:00:19,353 --> 00:00:21,982
He gets off on
torture, even in court.
11
00:00:23,724 --> 00:00:25,955
You see what we saw?
Just hope the jury saw it.
12
00:00:26,059 --> 00:00:28,551
On the charge of murder
in the First Degree,
13
00:00:28,662 --> 00:00:31,996
we find the defendant,
Gregory Yates, guilty.
14
00:00:39,640 --> 00:00:41,240
In the criminal justice system,
15
00:00:41,441 --> 00:00:44,468
sexually-based offenses are
considered especially heinous.
16
00:00:45,145 --> 00:00:46,306
In New York City,
17
00:00:46,413 --> 00:00:49,315
the dedicated detectives who
investigate these vicious felonies
18
00:00:49,416 --> 00:00:52,580
are members of an elite squad
known as the Special Victims Unit.
19
00:00:52,686 --> 00:00:54,314
These are their stories.
20
00:01:18,478 --> 00:01:21,004
Was she dismembered or did
she come apart in the water?
21
00:01:21,114 --> 00:01:23,914
No obvious tears. But there are
cutting marks in the bones and tendons.
22
00:01:24,017 --> 00:01:26,714
Another body here at
Yates' burial ground.
23
00:01:26,820 --> 00:01:28,311
Yeah, some
skinny-dipping teenagers
24
00:01:28,422 --> 00:01:29,856
ditching class
kicked up the vic.
25
00:01:29,957 --> 00:01:31,267
Local precinct gave
us the heads-up.
26
00:01:31,291 --> 00:01:32,535
Thought it might
be one we missed.
27
00:01:32,559 --> 00:01:34,323
How? We covered
the whole island.
28
00:01:34,428 --> 00:01:37,140
And Yates buried his bodies. This
one we found floating in the water.
29
00:01:37,164 --> 00:01:38,675
Just happens to coincide
with when and where
30
00:01:38,699 --> 00:01:39,860
Yates dumped Nadia Rollins.
31
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:42,469
Okay. What? He buried
Nadia, goes back out to Queens,
32
00:01:42,569 --> 00:01:44,265
assaults two flight attendants,
33
00:01:44,404 --> 00:01:47,602
has lunch with his fiancée, and finds
time for a fourth assault? Come on.
34
00:01:48,175 --> 00:01:49,473
The man was on a spree.
35
00:01:49,676 --> 00:01:52,840
For brunettes. She's a
redhead. It's not his type.
36
00:01:52,946 --> 00:01:56,815
We got nine dead bodies
found here, all by the same killer.
37
00:01:56,917 --> 00:01:58,818
And now we got the
tenth. Occam's razor.
38
00:01:58,919 --> 00:02:00,046
Enough. Guys, listen.
39
00:02:00,687 --> 00:02:03,247
We have two options, one is
bad, the other one is worse.
40
00:02:04,024 --> 00:02:07,722
Either we missed one,
or Yates has a copycat.
41
00:02:10,163 --> 00:02:13,725
Victim is a Caucasian
female, late 20s.
42
00:02:13,967 --> 00:02:16,596
Probable cause of
death, fractured skull.
43
00:02:17,671 --> 00:02:20,266
Right arm severed
surgically at the shoulder.
44
00:02:21,141 --> 00:02:23,804
Dr. Rudnick, are
we interrupting?
45
00:02:23,910 --> 00:02:26,539
No, not at all. Just
notating my initial findings.
46
00:02:27,014 --> 00:02:28,983
Found in Pelham Bay,
47
00:02:29,149 --> 00:02:34,417
so either she floated up as the water
warmed or CSU missed her in April?
48
00:02:34,521 --> 00:02:35,887
So you think Yates did this?
49
00:02:36,256 --> 00:02:38,521
I can't say definitively.
50
00:02:39,526 --> 00:02:43,054
But there are findings
consistent with Yates' MO,
51
00:02:43,597 --> 00:02:47,466
as well as evidence of injury, both
vaginal and anal, consistent with rape.
52
00:02:47,567 --> 00:02:49,593
Even after this
long in the water?
53
00:02:49,770 --> 00:02:51,671
There's no question
the skull was fractured,
54
00:02:52,039 --> 00:02:54,804
just like those of the two
flight attendants and Nadia.
55
00:02:54,908 --> 00:02:58,140
Yeah, but this body was also
dismembered. That's not part of Yates' MO.
56
00:02:58,245 --> 00:02:59,713
Correct. However, I can tell you
57
00:02:59,813 --> 00:03:01,893
the cuts were made by
someone with surgical training.
58
00:03:02,182 --> 00:03:03,775
Uh, and another
interesting detail,
59
00:03:03,884 --> 00:03:07,719
microscopic traces of green
nail polish under two fingernails.
60
00:03:08,822 --> 00:03:10,051
Another coincidence, Rollins?
61
00:03:10,157 --> 00:03:11,157
It's public record.
62
00:03:11,258 --> 00:03:12,317
If you say so.
63
00:03:24,371 --> 00:03:25,964
Ooh.
64
00:03:26,073 --> 00:03:27,837
That poor, poor girl.
65
00:03:28,942 --> 00:03:30,308
Raped, tortured.
66
00:03:30,410 --> 00:03:32,174
And her skull was fractured.
67
00:03:32,913 --> 00:03:34,541
You think I'm responsible?
68
00:03:35,982 --> 00:03:38,747
I understand. It is
the logical assumption.
69
00:03:39,052 --> 00:03:40,816
We had a saying
in medical school,
70
00:03:40,921 --> 00:03:44,653
"If you hear hoof beats,
think horses, not zebras."
71
00:03:45,325 --> 00:03:49,421
The ME found traces of
green polish on her fingernails.
72
00:03:50,864 --> 00:03:52,025
Really?
73
00:03:54,901 --> 00:03:56,733
Now that is fascinating.
74
00:03:59,539 --> 00:04:01,872
Someone committed
this horrific crime
75
00:04:02,209 --> 00:04:03,677
and then he went out of his way
76
00:04:03,777 --> 00:04:06,246
to piggyback it onto
crimes I've been accused of.
77
00:04:06,346 --> 00:04:09,180
That was my initial response.
78
00:04:09,282 --> 00:04:10,341
And the red hair...
79
00:04:11,551 --> 00:04:14,885
Gingers are anathema to me.
80
00:04:15,288 --> 00:04:16,288
I prefer brunettes.
81
00:04:16,356 --> 00:04:17,517
No offense.
82
00:04:17,858 --> 00:04:19,349
It's a long story.
83
00:04:19,459 --> 00:04:22,361
And the body, dismembered...
84
00:04:22,462 --> 00:04:24,761
It's so unnecessary.
85
00:04:24,865 --> 00:04:26,060
It's so barbaric.
86
00:04:26,333 --> 00:04:28,495
Well, any ideas why
somebody would have done it?
87
00:04:28,769 --> 00:04:30,465
Well, I don't know.
88
00:04:30,570 --> 00:04:35,133
Maybe the killer likes the act
of cutting into bone and flesh.
89
00:04:35,242 --> 00:04:37,143
Do you mind if I...
90
00:04:37,878 --> 00:04:39,346
Have another look?
91
00:04:39,546 --> 00:04:40,673
Go right ahead.
92
00:04:44,251 --> 00:04:45,251
Mmm-hmm.
93
00:04:56,196 --> 00:04:57,255
I'm really sorry.
94
00:04:57,364 --> 00:04:58,457
You...
95
00:04:58,565 --> 00:05:00,397
You have your
work cut out for you.
96
00:05:09,543 --> 00:05:11,205
I appreciate your help, Doctor.
97
00:05:16,650 --> 00:05:19,279
Thoughts are occurring.
98
00:05:20,387 --> 00:05:23,653
If I can, uh, stew on
them for a couple of days,
99
00:05:25,125 --> 00:05:27,185
I might have something for you.
100
00:06:26,386 --> 00:06:28,218
Yates told you that
it wasn't him? Yeah.
101
00:06:28,321 --> 00:06:29,932
I bet he still says
that Nadia wasn't him.
102
00:06:29,956 --> 00:06:31,390
But the timeline is too tight.
103
00:06:31,491 --> 00:06:33,357
This girl was a redhead, okay?
104
00:06:33,460 --> 00:06:35,429
He's never dismembered
a body before this.
105
00:06:35,528 --> 00:06:37,053
We found skulls
last time, Amanda.
106
00:06:37,163 --> 00:06:39,242
Yeah, but that was skeletal
remains of decomped corpses.
107
00:06:39,266 --> 00:06:40,266
This is different.
108
00:06:40,367 --> 00:06:41,811
You know, his victims
were never prostitutes,
109
00:06:41,835 --> 00:06:42,928
this girl is a Jane Doe.
110
00:06:43,036 --> 00:06:44,937
Amanda, I don't know
what you're doing,
111
00:06:45,038 --> 00:06:46,336
but this isn't police work.
112
00:06:46,439 --> 00:06:47,907
I am cultivating a source.
113
00:06:48,008 --> 00:06:50,253
Listen, Yates hinted that he
might know who the killer is.
114
00:06:50,277 --> 00:06:51,609
Hinted, but didn't say?
115
00:06:51,811 --> 00:06:52,889
So what, you have
to go back there again,
116
00:06:52,913 --> 00:06:53,913
and then he'll tell you?
117
00:06:53,980 --> 00:06:56,040
He's playing you. This
guy's a psychopath.
118
00:06:56,149 --> 00:06:57,460
Not to mention, Amanda,
you went up there
119
00:06:57,484 --> 00:06:58,561
without clearing it with me.
120
00:06:58,585 --> 00:07:00,713
I'm not trusting your
judgment right now.
121
00:07:00,820 --> 00:07:03,551
Okay. All right, maybe
you guys are right.
122
00:07:03,657 --> 00:07:06,183
So say it is Yates. Just let
me keep building a rapport.
123
00:07:06,293 --> 00:07:08,319
Then maybe we can
finally get an ID on this girl.
124
00:07:09,496 --> 00:07:10,862
Hey, Sarge, sorry to interrupt,
125
00:07:10,964 --> 00:07:12,404
but I finally got a
hit from our DNA.
126
00:07:12,966 --> 00:07:13,966
From CODIS?
127
00:07:14,034 --> 00:07:17,334
No, military database. Vic's
name is Brooke Groves, 28.
128
00:07:17,437 --> 00:07:18,962
She was ROTC at
SUNY Plattsburgh.
129
00:07:19,072 --> 00:07:20,973
Didn't the ME say
she was a working girl?
130
00:07:21,107 --> 00:07:22,852
Well, yeah, but before
that, she had another life.
131
00:07:22,876 --> 00:07:24,310
Last known address
is in Larchmont.
132
00:07:24,411 --> 00:07:25,435
I'll go with.
133
00:07:25,578 --> 00:07:27,410
Actually, Rollins,
you stay here with Fin.
134
00:07:28,148 --> 00:07:30,617
I'll let you know
what we find out.
135
00:07:36,589 --> 00:07:37,648
There you are.
136
00:07:38,425 --> 00:07:40,503
Yeah. They spend all this
money renovating the squad room,
137
00:07:40,527 --> 00:07:41,807
and there's still
nothing to eat.
138
00:07:42,228 --> 00:07:43,389
How you feeling?
139
00:07:43,897 --> 00:07:46,162
I'm just tired.
140
00:07:46,266 --> 00:07:48,177
I've been taking too
many shifts since Nick left.
141
00:07:48,201 --> 00:07:49,499
You talk to him?
142
00:07:50,070 --> 00:07:53,563
Yeah. Yeah, he's happy.
143
00:07:54,074 --> 00:07:56,634
He's, uh, doing physical
therapy in Laguna Beach.
144
00:07:56,743 --> 00:07:59,269
And he's got some kind of lead
with the US Park Police, so...
145
00:07:59,846 --> 00:08:02,145
You miss him. Is that
what this is all about?
146
00:08:02,615 --> 00:08:05,551
No. I'm pissed off, man.
147
00:08:05,652 --> 00:08:07,553
I get grounded
and this is my case.
148
00:08:07,654 --> 00:08:10,021
I mean, I know more about how
Yates thinks than Carisi does.
149
00:08:10,190 --> 00:08:11,830
Olivia's just looking
out for you, Amanda.
150
00:08:11,891 --> 00:08:13,587
Yeah. How do you figure?
151
00:08:15,195 --> 00:08:17,824
You're good at getting
inside these guys' heads.
152
00:08:20,500 --> 00:08:22,059
Don't let 'em get inside yours.
153
00:08:31,444 --> 00:08:34,278
Oh, no. Bikes,
toys? She's a mom.
154
00:08:34,381 --> 00:08:35,815
No, they're not hers.
155
00:08:35,915 --> 00:08:38,749
If a mom disappears, they
file a missing persons report.
156
00:08:46,493 --> 00:08:47,493
Can I help you?
157
00:08:47,594 --> 00:08:48,823
Uh, yeah, we're NYPD.
158
00:08:48,928 --> 00:08:50,897
Um, Manhattan
Special Victims Unit.
159
00:08:50,997 --> 00:08:52,829
We're looking for
a Brooke Groves?
160
00:08:52,932 --> 00:08:54,127
That's me.
161
00:08:54,601 --> 00:08:56,729
Actually, it was me.
I'm Brooke Norwalk now.
162
00:09:00,740 --> 00:09:02,936
Hey, Tommy, Bobby,
go play on the iPad.
163
00:09:07,781 --> 00:09:09,301
Did something happen
to my husband? No.
164
00:09:09,382 --> 00:09:12,352
No. No, no, no. Um, we thought
something happened to you.
165
00:09:12,819 --> 00:09:14,048
I don't understand.
166
00:09:14,821 --> 00:09:16,380
It must have been a mistake.
167
00:09:16,489 --> 00:09:18,458
But we got a body in
the morgue, actually.
168
00:09:21,261 --> 00:09:22,923
Oh, no.
169
00:09:24,264 --> 00:09:28,929
Rachel. My twin sister.
170
00:09:30,770 --> 00:09:32,238
Are you still in touch with her?
171
00:09:32,939 --> 00:09:35,932
Off and on. My husband
doesn't know that.
172
00:09:37,077 --> 00:09:38,443
The boys have never even...
173
00:09:39,412 --> 00:09:41,347
After they were
born, my husband,
174
00:09:41,448 --> 00:09:43,349
he said she couldn't
come around anymore.
175
00:09:44,717 --> 00:09:46,310
She had problems?
176
00:09:47,821 --> 00:09:50,017
Rachel went to pieces
after our mom died.
177
00:09:50,190 --> 00:09:51,488
Drinking, drugs.
178
00:09:51,825 --> 00:09:54,106
She'd call me from the city,
swear she was gonna get help.
179
00:09:54,961 --> 00:09:57,055
I'd go into the city
and give her money.
180
00:09:58,898 --> 00:10:01,993
A few months ago,
she called again,
181
00:10:02,102 --> 00:10:03,126
really high,
182
00:10:03,670 --> 00:10:06,105
and I told her I was
done enabling her.
183
00:10:11,911 --> 00:10:12,935
How...
184
00:10:15,648 --> 00:10:17,310
What happened to my sister?
185
00:10:19,652 --> 00:10:23,180
I ran the DNA again. You
two were identical twins, yes?
186
00:10:23,656 --> 00:10:24,988
That's right.
187
00:10:25,091 --> 00:10:26,684
When we were young, we...
188
00:10:26,793 --> 00:10:27,793
Used to dress alike.
189
00:10:28,528 --> 00:10:30,019
No one could tell us apart.
190
00:10:30,630 --> 00:10:33,156
Brace yourself. There's
significant decomposition.
191
00:10:40,340 --> 00:10:41,899
That's Rachel.
192
00:10:50,083 --> 00:10:51,745
I'm very sorry for your loss.
193
00:11:01,261 --> 00:11:02,695
Rachel Groves.
194
00:11:02,795 --> 00:11:05,321
She stayed here on and
off. She was murdered?
195
00:11:05,465 --> 00:11:08,025
Yeah. We think she was targeted
because she was on the fringes.
196
00:11:08,201 --> 00:11:09,794
Somebody who wouldn't be missed.
197
00:11:09,969 --> 00:11:11,494
Rachel was troubled.
198
00:11:11,604 --> 00:11:13,764
That's why I was so happy
when her mother came for her.
199
00:11:13,806 --> 00:11:14,865
"Mother"?
200
00:11:14,974 --> 00:11:16,135
I think it was her mother.
201
00:11:16,242 --> 00:11:18,871
The last time I saw Rachel,
she left with an older woman.
202
00:11:19,412 --> 00:11:20,971
Gray hair, nicely dressed.
203
00:11:21,114 --> 00:11:22,114
When was this?
204
00:11:22,215 --> 00:11:25,982
I'd have to check. It was
still cold. March, April.
205
00:11:26,653 --> 00:11:29,782
I remember the woman
had a long coat and a hat on.
206
00:11:30,523 --> 00:11:32,067
Okay, do you have
security cameras here?
207
00:11:32,091 --> 00:11:33,855
Yes. Come, follow me.
208
00:11:40,900 --> 00:11:43,665
So Rachel was last seen with
this woman. Can the sister ID her?
209
00:11:43,836 --> 00:11:45,998
Uh, no, I mean, their
mother died 10 years ago.
210
00:11:46,105 --> 00:11:48,284
And Brooke doesn't know any
other female relatives or friends.
211
00:11:48,308 --> 00:11:49,606
So who is she?
212
00:11:49,842 --> 00:11:51,208
Obviously not Yates.
213
00:11:51,811 --> 00:11:55,543
And look at the time code.
April 15th. Yates was in custody.
214
00:11:55,648 --> 00:11:58,243
April 15th, 2012.
That's three years off.
215
00:11:58,384 --> 00:11:59,682
Yeah and obviously it's a.m.,
216
00:11:59,786 --> 00:12:01,730
but it reads as 11:30 p.m.
The time code was glitched.
217
00:12:01,754 --> 00:12:02,834
Okay, so check the machine,
218
00:12:02,889 --> 00:12:04,800
see what it reads now,
and then adjust it from there.
219
00:12:04,824 --> 00:12:05,951
No, I tried that.
220
00:12:06,059 --> 00:12:08,204
They already reset it once
they realized it was out of whack.
221
00:12:08,228 --> 00:12:09,719
I'll have TARU take a look.
222
00:12:11,564 --> 00:12:15,501
And, Sergeant. So in the
meantime, Yates called me. Twice.
223
00:12:15,902 --> 00:12:17,427
He says he has more information.
224
00:12:17,537 --> 00:12:19,028
He won't talk to anybody but me.
225
00:12:20,373 --> 00:12:23,070
Go. But not by yourself.
226
00:12:35,822 --> 00:12:38,417
You... You brought backup.
227
00:12:39,092 --> 00:12:41,618
I thought this was gonna
be just between me and you.
228
00:12:41,728 --> 00:12:42,787
You thought wrong.
229
00:12:42,895 --> 00:12:44,573
We're here because
we were able to identify
230
00:12:44,597 --> 00:12:45,860
the victim from Pelham Bay.
231
00:12:46,065 --> 00:12:47,465
You know, I already told you
232
00:12:47,567 --> 00:12:49,695
that I had nothing to do
with that girl. Mmm-hmm.
233
00:12:49,802 --> 00:12:51,930
You also told me that
you would stew on this,
234
00:12:52,038 --> 00:12:54,633
that you might be able to
come up with more information.
235
00:12:54,841 --> 00:12:56,571
Besides, it turns out
236
00:12:56,676 --> 00:12:58,076
she had a twin sister.
237
00:12:59,212 --> 00:13:01,044
It sure would mean
a lot to someone
238
00:13:01,147 --> 00:13:02,445
if we could bring her closure.
239
00:13:03,149 --> 00:13:05,050
A twin. Huh.
240
00:13:05,952 --> 00:13:08,251
That is a real bond.
241
00:13:09,289 --> 00:13:13,351
I would like to help,
but this is a long shot,
242
00:13:14,027 --> 00:13:17,429
but I kept thinking about
those autopsy photos.
243
00:13:17,563 --> 00:13:20,089
The medical
training, the red hair,
244
00:13:20,199 --> 00:13:23,567
and suddenly I was
reminded of this incident
245
00:13:23,670 --> 00:13:26,139
that happened back when I
was becoming a senior resident.
246
00:13:26,239 --> 00:13:27,571
That was what, in 2002?
247
00:13:27,674 --> 00:13:30,109
Yeah. About then.
248
00:13:30,209 --> 00:13:33,475
I got a call from an
attending, he needed stitches.
249
00:13:33,646 --> 00:13:35,706
He called you? Why
not go to the hospital?
250
00:13:35,848 --> 00:13:37,407
Because he was embarrassed.
251
00:13:38,318 --> 00:13:40,947
When I got to the
townhouse, I found out why.
252
00:13:41,788 --> 00:13:44,815
He had bruising and cuts
253
00:13:44,924 --> 00:13:47,917
and what appeared
to be human bite marks
254
00:13:48,027 --> 00:13:49,859
on his inner thigh and scrotum.
255
00:13:49,962 --> 00:13:52,625
He claimed it happened during
some sex game gone awry.
256
00:13:52,732 --> 00:13:53,995
But you didn't believe him? No.
257
00:13:54,434 --> 00:13:57,768
I asked him if his partner
needed medical attention.
258
00:13:58,938 --> 00:14:02,875
He assured me that she
was fine, and that she had left.
259
00:14:03,443 --> 00:14:07,574
Whoever she was, I could sense
that she was still in the house.
260
00:14:07,680 --> 00:14:11,708
There was that clump of
red hair on the floorboards
261
00:14:11,818 --> 00:14:14,947
and I... I could smell her.
262
00:14:15,088 --> 00:14:16,181
Okay, Doc.
263
00:14:16,289 --> 00:14:18,622
No, really, I could.
264
00:14:18,725 --> 00:14:20,660
And it wasn't the sex and
it wasn't the hormones,
265
00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:21,784
it was her fear.
266
00:14:22,362 --> 00:14:25,764
It has a very real
scent, like, uh, ammonia.
267
00:14:25,865 --> 00:14:27,766
What was the name
of the attending?
268
00:14:29,936 --> 00:14:31,928
I don't wanna
incriminate anybody.
269
00:14:32,038 --> 00:14:34,132
I... I could be wrong.
270
00:14:35,742 --> 00:14:38,541
But I remember
the street, though.
271
00:14:39,379 --> 00:14:41,610
Convent Avenue in Harlem.
272
00:14:46,719 --> 00:14:49,211
The townhouse has
a lovely Juliet balcony.
273
00:14:57,764 --> 00:14:59,232
Sarge, Fin.
274
00:14:59,465 --> 00:15:02,128
Wasn't expecting you.
These are the Changs.
275
00:15:02,268 --> 00:15:04,760
They bought the house four
years ago, did a renovation.
276
00:15:04,871 --> 00:15:06,601
Before that, it had
fallen into disrepair
277
00:15:06,706 --> 00:15:08,732
after the 2007 death
of Manon Favreau.
278
00:15:08,841 --> 00:15:10,400
She was a widow
whose husband's family
279
00:15:10,510 --> 00:15:12,030
actually built this
house in the 1880s.
280
00:15:12,078 --> 00:15:14,656
Okay, thanks for the history lesson,
Carisi. Who lived here in 2002?
281
00:15:14,680 --> 00:15:15,991
Well, we're looking
at tax records,
282
00:15:16,015 --> 00:15:17,449
utility bills, but,
realistically...
283
00:15:17,550 --> 00:15:19,314
Yates could just be
pulling Rollins' chain.
284
00:15:19,419 --> 00:15:22,082
I don't see what he gets
out of that. So we're here.
285
00:15:22,755 --> 00:15:24,900
The couple's given us permission
to do a non-invasive search?
286
00:15:24,924 --> 00:15:25,924
But after all this time,
287
00:15:26,025 --> 00:15:27,436
what are the chances
we're gonna find something?
288
00:15:27,460 --> 00:15:30,828
Sergeant, you're here.
Come look at what we found.
289
00:15:34,667 --> 00:15:37,364
The CSU techs picked up
an image using the GPR.
290
00:15:37,470 --> 00:15:38,597
What's that?
291
00:15:38,704 --> 00:15:40,195
Ground Penetrating Radar.
292
00:15:40,540 --> 00:15:42,668
It's like a sonogram that
can see inside that wall?
293
00:15:42,775 --> 00:15:45,438
Yes, Fin. See, it
used to be a chimney.
294
00:15:45,878 --> 00:15:48,712
Okay, what's that shadow?
There's something in there.
295
00:15:50,116 --> 00:15:52,017
I bet that's another
Yates victim.
296
00:15:52,118 --> 00:15:53,643
So what, we rip down the wall?
297
00:15:53,886 --> 00:15:58,256
Okay, go tell the owners that that
non-invasive search just became invasive.
298
00:16:05,832 --> 00:16:07,164
Little help here.
299
00:16:18,344 --> 00:16:19,642
It's a suitcase.
300
00:16:20,746 --> 00:16:22,408
Great, let's get it out.
301
00:16:26,018 --> 00:16:28,783
Something inside.
Should we open it?
302
00:16:28,888 --> 00:16:30,151
Yeah. Go ahead.
303
00:16:40,700 --> 00:16:42,168
She's mummified.
304
00:16:48,741 --> 00:16:51,939
So Yates' tip paid off, there was
a body in the Harlem townhouse?
305
00:16:52,044 --> 00:16:53,603
In the wall, mummified.
306
00:16:54,413 --> 00:16:55,881
Anything else in the house?
307
00:16:56,415 --> 00:16:58,816
Fin and Carisi are
searching the place with CSU.
308
00:16:58,918 --> 00:17:00,181
We're getting a DNA sample.
309
00:17:00,286 --> 00:17:01,879
As soon as the ME
dates the decomp,
310
00:17:01,988 --> 00:17:03,148
we'll search missing persons.
311
00:17:03,189 --> 00:17:04,213
Why not just ask Yates?
312
00:17:04,323 --> 00:17:05,791
He's a convicted serial killer
313
00:17:05,892 --> 00:17:07,469
who tipped you off to
the location of a corpse
314
00:17:07,493 --> 00:17:09,086
in a house where
he also puts himself.
315
00:17:09,195 --> 00:17:12,165
Rollins has been working him.
He swears that it wasn't him.
316
00:17:12,265 --> 00:17:13,785
You've got to be kidding me.
317
00:17:14,800 --> 00:17:17,640
The incisions seem to have been
made by a medical professional.
318
00:17:17,670 --> 00:17:21,129
Pubis and ilium scraped where they
were separated from the adductors.
319
00:17:21,240 --> 00:17:24,506
So she was dissected just
like Rachel Groves was?
320
00:17:24,610 --> 00:17:26,545
The muscle was cut
away from the bone.
321
00:17:26,646 --> 00:17:28,046
Hmm.
322
00:17:28,147 --> 00:17:29,291
Detective, you
look a little peaked.
323
00:17:29,315 --> 00:17:30,315
I'm fine. No, I'm good.
324
00:17:30,383 --> 00:17:32,579
Would you...
Dr. Rudnick. Rollins.
325
00:17:33,252 --> 00:17:36,245
A sergeant and an ADA at an
autopsy? Should I be nervous?
326
00:17:36,355 --> 00:17:37,687
Can you tell us anything?
327
00:17:37,857 --> 00:17:40,224
An autopsy like this
is an enigmatic puzzle.
328
00:17:40,493 --> 00:17:42,724
The body was cut,
broken, and tied
329
00:17:42,828 --> 00:17:44,990
with an electrical cord
to fit in the suitcase.
330
00:17:45,765 --> 00:17:49,293
It had to be uncurled,
X-rayed, rehydrated.
331
00:17:49,402 --> 00:17:51,871
Start at the beginning.
Age, cause of death?
332
00:17:52,338 --> 00:17:57,140
Well, she was a white female. From
her teeth, I'd guess about 25, 5'6".
333
00:17:57,243 --> 00:17:58,267
In good physical health.
334
00:17:58,377 --> 00:17:59,377
Cause of death?
335
00:17:59,478 --> 00:18:03,506
The skull was fractured, but I
believe the cause was strangulation.
336
00:18:03,683 --> 00:18:05,743
The hyoid was also fractured.
337
00:18:06,018 --> 00:18:07,418
Body was wrapped in a blanket.
338
00:18:07,520 --> 00:18:09,148
The dry heat and smoke
339
00:18:09,255 --> 00:18:11,815
from the common chimney
effectively mummified the remains.
340
00:18:12,458 --> 00:18:15,792
And, she was in situ for
over a decade, most likely.
341
00:18:15,895 --> 00:18:17,363
How is it she was discovered?
342
00:18:17,463 --> 00:18:20,399
Actually, it was a tip
from Yates. Dr. Yates?
343
00:18:20,499 --> 00:18:21,933
It's a tip or a confession?
344
00:18:22,034 --> 00:18:23,297
Is this another one of his?
345
00:18:23,402 --> 00:18:25,428
I noted no nail polish.
346
00:18:25,538 --> 00:18:28,167
But the incisions do show
evidence of medical technique.
347
00:18:28,274 --> 00:18:31,802
And the fractured skull is not
inconsistent with Yates' MO.
348
00:18:31,911 --> 00:18:34,881
But strangulation is. And
the victim was a redhead.
349
00:18:34,981 --> 00:18:37,314
Yes. So was Rachel Groves.
350
00:18:37,617 --> 00:18:39,210
I'll need to do a
thorough examination.
351
00:18:39,819 --> 00:18:42,550
So far, I've found no
trace of the killer's DNA.
352
00:18:42,655 --> 00:18:45,955
Which is also not
inconsistent with Yates' MO.
353
00:18:48,227 --> 00:18:50,389
"Also not inconsistent
with Yates' MO."
354
00:18:50,496 --> 00:18:52,474
That's ME talk for, "Yates
did it, but don't quote me."
355
00:18:52,498 --> 00:18:53,830
Yates is appealing
his conviction.
356
00:18:53,933 --> 00:18:55,243
Why would he tip us
off to another victim?
357
00:18:55,267 --> 00:18:56,963
He's sick, but he's not stupid.
358
00:18:57,069 --> 00:18:58,149
Rollins, all due respect...
359
00:18:58,237 --> 00:18:59,514
Don't start a sentence that way.
360
00:18:59,538 --> 00:19:01,166
Fine. If Yates didn't do it,
361
00:19:01,273 --> 00:19:02,873
then how did he know
that body was there?
362
00:19:13,919 --> 00:19:16,320
Your DA thinks I'm
the one who did this?
363
00:19:16,422 --> 00:19:19,358
You know, I am the one
who told you all about her.
364
00:19:19,592 --> 00:19:21,891
That's exactly why
he thinks you did it.
365
00:19:23,329 --> 00:19:26,128
Is he always so
circular in his reasoning?
366
00:19:26,666 --> 00:19:28,410
You told me that you
were called to that house,
367
00:19:28,434 --> 00:19:29,993
that you knew a woman was there.
368
00:19:31,170 --> 00:19:32,604
Do you know who she was?
369
00:19:32,872 --> 00:19:35,899
I do. I even know
who killed her.
370
00:19:37,343 --> 00:19:42,338
But enough talk about
what I can do for you.
371
00:19:43,616 --> 00:19:45,482
Let's talk about how
you can help me.
372
00:19:46,919 --> 00:19:50,185
Yates wants to touch
his fiancée, Susie Frain?
373
00:19:50,856 --> 00:19:52,757
Hasn't he touched
enough women already?
374
00:19:52,858 --> 00:19:55,418
Look, they've been together for
20 years. He's never hurt Susie.
375
00:19:55,528 --> 00:19:57,258
And she's okay
with conjugal visits?
376
00:19:57,363 --> 00:19:58,592
She called about it twice.
377
00:19:58,698 --> 00:19:59,825
Every pot has a lid.
378
00:20:00,032 --> 00:20:03,025
Lovely. You do realize how this
would look if word got out, right?
379
00:20:03,436 --> 00:20:06,270
Yates is already on the hook
for multiple rapes and murder,
380
00:20:06,472 --> 00:20:09,931
now he wants to trade
crime tips for conjugal visits.
381
00:20:10,042 --> 00:20:12,842
If Yates is telling the truth, there
could be another serial out there.
382
00:20:12,945 --> 00:20:14,277
So pick your poison, Counselor.
383
00:20:14,380 --> 00:20:18,249
Fine. Bring the fiancée
upstate. Let them conjugate.
384
00:20:18,350 --> 00:20:19,995
And then interrogate
both of them afterwards.
385
00:20:20,019 --> 00:20:21,579
You better be right
about this, Rollins.
386
00:20:32,398 --> 00:20:33,661
Okay, we good?
387
00:20:40,339 --> 00:20:42,035
Time's up. Coming in!
388
00:20:50,182 --> 00:20:53,482
Ms. Frain, before you leave, uh, my
detectives have some questions for you.
389
00:20:54,386 --> 00:20:55,752
No one told me about this.
390
00:20:55,921 --> 00:20:57,549
Oh, hey, it's all right.
391
00:20:59,158 --> 00:21:00,490
Just tell the truth.
392
00:21:03,329 --> 00:21:05,169
All right, we have some
questions for you, too.
393
00:21:05,264 --> 00:21:06,789
So much for afterglow.
394
00:21:07,299 --> 00:21:09,598
But a deal is a deal.
395
00:21:10,202 --> 00:21:12,603
Come in here. We'll
have more privacy.
396
00:21:14,807 --> 00:21:16,551
I hope, now that you've
found these two bodies,
397
00:21:16,575 --> 00:21:18,407
you'll be releasing Greg
as soon as possible.
398
00:21:18,511 --> 00:21:19,570
Come again?
399
00:21:19,712 --> 00:21:21,977
I always knew Greg wasn't
capable of these crimes.
400
00:21:22,248 --> 00:21:23,546
He was framed.
401
00:21:23,983 --> 00:21:25,246
The poor girl in Pelham Bay,
402
00:21:25,351 --> 00:21:27,286
she must have been
murdered after he was arrested
403
00:21:27,386 --> 00:21:29,651
or you would have found the
body when you first searched.
404
00:21:29,755 --> 00:21:31,348
Oh, did Greg tell you that?
405
00:21:31,490 --> 00:21:36,622
It's common sense. And Lena, we
were all friends. Greg was fond of her.
406
00:21:37,096 --> 00:21:38,792
Hold... Hold up. Who's Lena?
407
00:21:39,165 --> 00:21:41,896
Lena Grunwald.
The girl in the wall.
408
00:21:43,302 --> 00:21:46,102
I thought she'd gone home to
Switzerland. But she must have never left.
409
00:21:47,406 --> 00:21:48,840
Lena was a lovely girl.
410
00:21:48,941 --> 00:21:50,910
She was over from
Switzerland for her doctorate,
411
00:21:51,010 --> 00:21:52,535
and they met at Columbia.
412
00:21:52,645 --> 00:21:53,840
Met who?
413
00:21:54,213 --> 00:21:55,442
Her fiancé.
414
00:21:56,348 --> 00:21:59,682
Well, on the night
that I stitched him,
415
00:21:59,785 --> 00:22:02,118
he said that it was a
sex game gone wrong,
416
00:22:02,221 --> 00:22:05,817
but he had to have
tortured... Oh...
417
00:22:05,925 --> 00:22:09,089
He might have sealed her in
that wall while she was still alive.
418
00:22:09,195 --> 00:22:10,788
Stay with us, Dr. Yates.
419
00:22:11,230 --> 00:22:13,722
Oh, yes. I'm sorry.
That poor woman.
420
00:22:13,833 --> 00:22:15,358
You were gonna give us a name.
421
00:22:16,101 --> 00:22:17,831
I was. Apologies.
422
00:22:17,937 --> 00:22:19,200
Uh, Carl.
423
00:22:19,305 --> 00:22:23,174
Yes. When I was a senior
resident, he was an attending.
424
00:22:23,275 --> 00:22:27,406
Strange man. A
little delicate, pale.
425
00:22:27,546 --> 00:22:30,311
He kept to himself, which is
why we were so sort of surprised
426
00:22:30,416 --> 00:22:32,214
when he got engaged to Lena.
427
00:22:32,418 --> 00:22:34,444
Does this delicate
man have a last name?
428
00:22:34,653 --> 00:22:37,418
Rudnick. Uh, Dr. Carl Rudnick.
429
00:22:37,723 --> 00:22:40,249
That's it, we're
done. Rollins...
430
00:22:41,961 --> 00:22:43,657
I went out on a limb for you.
431
00:22:43,762 --> 00:22:44,957
You think this is a game?
432
00:22:45,064 --> 00:22:48,034
You are gonna be transferred so
far upstate your ass is gonna freeze.
433
00:22:48,133 --> 00:22:49,411
Rollins, let's go.
What did I say?
434
00:22:49,435 --> 00:22:50,926
Dr. Carl Rudnick.
435
00:22:51,270 --> 00:22:55,037
Deputy Chief Medical Examiner
in the borough of Manhattan.
436
00:22:55,140 --> 00:22:56,301
He's a serial killer?
437
00:22:56,408 --> 00:22:58,809
Wait. Carl became an ME?
438
00:22:58,911 --> 00:23:02,780
Oh, no, that... That
really is... That is perfect.
439
00:23:02,882 --> 00:23:05,875
He never liked people,
but he always liked cutting.
440
00:23:05,985 --> 00:23:07,112
Don't even try, Yates.
441
00:23:07,219 --> 00:23:09,779
No, stay. Please.
I need to know,
442
00:23:09,889 --> 00:23:12,381
did he do any of the autopsies
on the girls you found?
443
00:23:13,125 --> 00:23:14,718
Nadia, maybe?
444
00:23:15,060 --> 00:23:16,688
Come on, a man like that,
445
00:23:16,795 --> 00:23:19,115
with all those female bodies
being delivered to the morgue,
446
00:23:19,265 --> 00:23:21,860
having been tortured to death...
447
00:23:23,402 --> 00:23:24,768
That is a trigger.
448
00:23:25,337 --> 00:23:26,635
He would get off on them
449
00:23:26,739 --> 00:23:29,903
and then he would want to
go do another one for himself.
450
00:23:30,009 --> 00:23:32,478
That girl. The girl
in Pelham Bay...
451
00:23:34,847 --> 00:23:37,646
Did Rudnick do her autopsy, too?
452
00:23:40,619 --> 00:23:42,850
Have another ME
recheck the body.
453
00:23:43,289 --> 00:23:44,814
His report didn't say so,
454
00:23:44,924 --> 00:23:46,358
but I'll bet you
dollars to donuts
455
00:23:46,458 --> 00:23:49,257
he cut that girl up
while she was still alive.
456
00:24:02,441 --> 00:24:04,672
Accusing the deputy chief
ME of rape and murder?
457
00:24:04,910 --> 00:24:07,789
And they offered this conspiracy
theory right after their conjugal visit?
458
00:24:07,813 --> 00:24:09,179
Yeah, I know. He worked you two.
459
00:24:09,281 --> 00:24:13,377
And the fiancée worked us. Give
Yates points. That's a bold move.
460
00:24:13,485 --> 00:24:15,647
I'm sorry. You all
were right, I was wrong.
461
00:24:15,888 --> 00:24:19,120
Hold on, Rollins. Now,
look, I'm still only mid-search,
462
00:24:19,224 --> 00:24:21,090
but there was a Lena
Grunwald from Switzerland
463
00:24:21,193 --> 00:24:22,525
who went to
Columbia at that time.
464
00:24:22,628 --> 00:24:24,529
Now, as far as I can
tell, she never graduates.
465
00:24:24,630 --> 00:24:27,464
She just disappears off
the grid in the winter of 2002.
466
00:24:27,866 --> 00:24:29,266
You actually looked into this?
467
00:24:29,535 --> 00:24:30,628
Yeah, Counselor, I did.
468
00:24:30,736 --> 00:24:34,036
'Cause if Yates is taking a flyer for an
appeal, then we have to rule this out.
469
00:24:35,641 --> 00:24:39,772
Now, I'm still new here. But how
well do you guys know Carl Rudnick?
470
00:24:40,145 --> 00:24:41,773
He got here right
before you did.
471
00:24:41,880 --> 00:24:43,405
He came out of
Miami-Dade, I think.
472
00:24:43,882 --> 00:24:47,842
Carisi's right. Yates is looking
to overturn his conviction.
473
00:24:48,320 --> 00:24:50,960
Did Rudnick ever mention that he
went to medical school with Yates?
474
00:24:51,056 --> 00:24:52,422
No, he didn't.
475
00:24:52,524 --> 00:24:55,460
So what if he did?
Yates kidnapped, raped,
476
00:24:55,561 --> 00:24:57,553
tortured, and murdered Nadia.
477
00:24:58,130 --> 00:24:59,154
He is guilty.
478
00:24:59,298 --> 00:25:02,268
The only reason he's bringing up
conflicting evidence is for his appeal.
479
00:25:02,368 --> 00:25:03,678
Still, if they did
know each other,
480
00:25:03,702 --> 00:25:05,113
then Rudnick should
have recused himself.
481
00:25:05,137 --> 00:25:06,337
That's easy enough to confirm.
482
00:25:06,438 --> 00:25:08,450
And while you're at it, see if
Rudnick has any connection to
483
00:25:08,474 --> 00:25:09,533
the townhouse in Harlem,
484
00:25:09,842 --> 00:25:12,607
or if he even knew this
supposed fiancée, Lena Grunwald.
485
00:25:16,749 --> 00:25:19,685
That's Lena. With
Carl, me, and Greg.
486
00:25:20,652 --> 00:25:22,746
New Year's Eve,
2001, in Montreal.
487
00:25:22,855 --> 00:25:24,199
So you knew each
other well enough
488
00:25:24,223 --> 00:25:25,533
that you'd all go on
vacation together?
489
00:25:25,557 --> 00:25:27,924
Oh, yeah. Canada,
Europe a few times.
490
00:25:28,594 --> 00:25:30,062
Lena spoke French and German.
491
00:25:30,162 --> 00:25:32,688
She was a great tour
guide. A lovely person.
492
00:25:33,032 --> 00:25:35,524
What can you tell us about her
relationship with Carl Rudnick?
493
00:25:35,934 --> 00:25:37,402
Tempestuous.
494
00:25:37,569 --> 00:25:40,266
They fought, especially when
they drank. And they both drank.
495
00:25:40,372 --> 00:25:42,466
She loved her Gewürztraminer.
496
00:25:42,741 --> 00:25:44,437
Remember the last
time you saw her?
497
00:25:45,010 --> 00:25:46,672
I remember when she left.
498
00:25:47,813 --> 00:25:50,305
Greg threw me a birthday party,
and Carl brought a new date.
499
00:25:50,749 --> 00:25:52,513
He said Lena had broken
off their engagement
500
00:25:52,618 --> 00:25:53,728
and moved back to Switzerland.
501
00:25:53,752 --> 00:25:55,050
And that was...
502
00:25:55,354 --> 00:25:57,220
Early February, 2002.
503
00:25:57,356 --> 00:25:59,222
So you didn't
think it was strange
504
00:25:59,324 --> 00:26:01,122
that she didn't say
goodbye to you herself?
505
00:26:01,493 --> 00:26:02,620
I did, actually.
506
00:26:02,728 --> 00:26:04,663
In Montreal, they were
going at each other.
507
00:26:05,230 --> 00:26:06,858
On the flight back,
Lena told me that
508
00:26:06,965 --> 00:26:09,366
if anything ever
happened to her, Carl did it.
509
00:26:11,403 --> 00:26:12,837
Why didn't you call the police?
510
00:26:13,105 --> 00:26:14,105
I was going to.
511
00:26:14,173 --> 00:26:16,005
But then I got a note
from Lena with a photo
512
00:26:16,108 --> 00:26:17,872
of herself in her
village, Grindelwald.
513
00:26:18,610 --> 00:26:20,841
She apologized. She said
she just had to get away.
514
00:26:20,946 --> 00:26:22,539
And you're sure that it was her?
515
00:26:22,981 --> 00:26:24,279
I thought it was.
516
00:26:24,383 --> 00:26:26,284
You think you may have
kept that note and photo?
517
00:26:26,385 --> 00:26:29,253
I have tons of boxes
in mini-storage.
518
00:26:29,354 --> 00:26:31,255
You think it will
help if I find it?
519
00:26:33,492 --> 00:26:36,485
Okay, so Rudnick and Yates
overlapped in medical school,
520
00:26:36,595 --> 00:26:38,996
and Lena was in business
school at the same time.
521
00:26:39,131 --> 00:26:41,464
And Susie just told us
that they were all friends.
522
00:26:41,600 --> 00:26:44,832
Which, as Carisi said,
Rudnick should have disclosed.
523
00:26:44,937 --> 00:26:46,748
It still doesn't mean that
Rudnick is good for this.
524
00:26:46,772 --> 00:26:50,903
Remember, Rollins, Yates tried to
pin Nadia's death on Will Halstead.
525
00:26:51,009 --> 00:26:52,033
He's an opportunist.
526
00:26:52,144 --> 00:26:54,909
I know he is. And I know he's
good for Nadia's murder and,
527
00:26:55,013 --> 00:26:56,276
what, a dozen before.
528
00:26:56,648 --> 00:27:00,085
But this woman in the
wall, I'm not sure about.
529
00:27:00,185 --> 00:27:01,983
'Cause, look, I did a search,
530
00:27:02,087 --> 00:27:06,286
I was trying to find who exactly
lived in this house in 2002.
531
00:27:06,558 --> 00:27:11,587
Now Con Ed and phone bills
both went to Manon Favreau.
532
00:27:11,697 --> 00:27:15,634
The name on the cable
bill, it's under Carl Rudnick.
533
00:27:16,969 --> 00:27:20,030
While it was owned by Manon
Favreau? So he was renting?
534
00:27:20,139 --> 00:27:21,471
More like house-sitting.
535
00:27:21,573 --> 00:27:25,669
It turns out her maiden
name was "Manon Rudnick".
536
00:27:25,777 --> 00:27:27,075
She's Carl Rudnick's great-aunt.
537
00:27:27,179 --> 00:27:28,511
I mean, these ancestry websites,
538
00:27:28,614 --> 00:27:29,958
you'd be surprised what
they know about you.
539
00:27:29,982 --> 00:27:32,247
Okay. So Rudnick
neglected to mention
540
00:27:32,351 --> 00:27:35,378
that the body that we found
was in his aunt's house,
541
00:27:35,487 --> 00:27:37,768
and he was living there when
it was plastered in the wall.
542
00:27:37,823 --> 00:27:40,884
Damn. He autopsied
his own fiancée?
543
00:27:40,993 --> 00:27:43,428
Thirteen years
after he killed her.
544
00:27:43,529 --> 00:27:46,328
We don't know that yet. We don't
even know if the body is Lena's.
545
00:27:46,431 --> 00:27:48,332
Susie told us that Lena sent her
546
00:27:48,433 --> 00:27:50,265
a picture of herself
from Switzerland.
547
00:27:50,402 --> 00:27:53,122
Yeah, well, if she did send that
photo, that's the last trace of her.
548
00:27:53,405 --> 00:27:55,465
Do we have any proof
that the body was hers?
549
00:27:55,574 --> 00:27:57,270
DNA, dental records, anything?
550
00:27:57,376 --> 00:27:58,674
I called Warner.
551
00:27:58,844 --> 00:28:01,905
She said, according to
Rudnick, there's no way to ID her.
552
00:28:02,047 --> 00:28:03,208
There's a shock.
553
00:28:03,315 --> 00:28:05,807
Okay. I'll call the
chief medical examiner
554
00:28:05,918 --> 00:28:07,910
and see if he'll
authorize Warner
555
00:28:08,020 --> 00:28:09,955
to independently
redo both autopsies,
556
00:28:10,522 --> 00:28:12,457
preferably when
Rudnick's not there.
557
00:28:15,661 --> 00:28:17,661
The body's well-preserved,
558
00:28:17,729 --> 00:28:20,289
most likely from the
frigid water temperatures,
559
00:28:20,399 --> 00:28:21,890
which lasted well into April.
560
00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:23,024
Let's stop here.
561
00:28:23,335 --> 00:28:25,736
Dr. Rudnick's time of
death may be mistaken.
562
00:28:25,837 --> 00:28:26,998
"May be"?
563
00:28:27,105 --> 00:28:28,198
He says early April,
564
00:28:28,307 --> 00:28:29,969
but based on the
crime scene photos,
565
00:28:30,075 --> 00:28:32,943
it appears the body wasn't
wrapped in plastic or a tarp.
566
00:28:33,045 --> 00:28:34,240
But that's in his report.
567
00:28:34,413 --> 00:28:37,815
Yes, but if this body went
into the water in mid-April,
568
00:28:37,950 --> 00:28:41,318
the fish or crabs would have
nibbled away at the soft tissue.
569
00:28:41,453 --> 00:28:43,012
So, it's more likely early May?
570
00:28:43,121 --> 00:28:44,214
I think so.
571
00:28:44,556 --> 00:28:45,990
I'm surprised, frankly.
572
00:28:46,758 --> 00:28:50,251
I mean, it's careless, and
Dr. Rudnick is meticulous to a fault.
573
00:28:50,362 --> 00:28:52,024
He's one of the top
MEs in the country.
574
00:28:52,197 --> 00:28:53,474
What else do you know about him?
575
00:28:53,498 --> 00:28:56,832
He's a guy who works six days a
week, never puts in for overtime.
576
00:28:57,069 --> 00:28:58,594
We all figure family money.
577
00:28:59,238 --> 00:29:00,900
He's obsessed with
his work. Okay, okay.
578
00:29:01,907 --> 00:29:03,102
So his timeline is off.
579
00:29:03,742 --> 00:29:07,076
Is it possible that
he's overworked?
580
00:29:07,246 --> 00:29:09,875
Maybe. And here's
another omission I noticed.
581
00:29:10,482 --> 00:29:12,041
His report neglects to mention
582
00:29:12,150 --> 00:29:14,210
that the dismemberment
took place ante mortem.
583
00:29:18,857 --> 00:29:20,485
So Rachel Groves
was alive? You sure?
584
00:29:20,592 --> 00:29:21,651
Positive.
585
00:29:22,227 --> 00:29:25,857
Cutting into live tissue
always causes a vital reaction,
586
00:29:25,964 --> 00:29:28,456
markedly different from
cutting into dead tissue.
587
00:29:28,567 --> 00:29:32,561
And there's no way an ME would
leave this out or possibly mistake the two?
588
00:29:32,771 --> 00:29:35,832
No. Now you wanna
tell me what this is about?
589
00:29:38,143 --> 00:29:42,638
Uh, I'm sorry Melinda, I can't.
This is an active investigation.
590
00:29:47,519 --> 00:29:49,988
Before I re-autopsy
this mummified body,
591
00:29:50,088 --> 00:29:51,368
is there anything I should know?
592
00:29:51,456 --> 00:29:54,620
Uh, well, she may
be a Swiss national.
593
00:29:54,726 --> 00:29:56,160
We haven't been able to ID her.
594
00:29:56,461 --> 00:29:57,622
That may be helpful.
595
00:29:57,729 --> 00:29:58,788
Okay.
596
00:30:01,466 --> 00:30:04,527
Melinda, watch your
back with Rudnick.
597
00:30:12,444 --> 00:30:13,912
What am I looking at here?
598
00:30:14,012 --> 00:30:16,914
It's proof that the body in
that wall was Lena Grunwald.
599
00:30:17,049 --> 00:30:19,518
Okay, Warner found these
gold overlays on her teeth
600
00:30:19,618 --> 00:30:22,417
that are specific to
German-Swiss dentists.
601
00:30:22,521 --> 00:30:25,218
Yeah, another detail Dr. Rudnick
did not put in his autopsy report.
602
00:30:25,324 --> 00:30:28,556
We confirmed with her dentist
in Switzerland. It is Lena's body.
603
00:30:28,827 --> 00:30:30,090
She never went home?
604
00:30:30,195 --> 00:30:31,515
Well, here's
where it gets tricky.
605
00:30:31,563 --> 00:30:33,225
I finally heard back
from my guy at TSA.
606
00:30:33,332 --> 00:30:36,427
Now according to them,
Lena Grunwald left JFK
607
00:30:36,535 --> 00:30:38,834
for Zurich on
February 11th, 2002.
608
00:30:39,404 --> 00:30:41,339
So? We can't pinpoint
her time of death.
609
00:30:42,007 --> 00:30:44,018
She must have come back,
been murdered sometime later.
610
00:30:44,042 --> 00:30:46,238
Yeah, but there's no
record of her coming back.
611
00:30:46,578 --> 00:30:48,410
So, on a hunch, I
looked at Rudnick's travel.
612
00:30:48,513 --> 00:30:50,675
Now this guy, he's got the
opposite problem, all right?
613
00:30:50,782 --> 00:30:53,479
He returned from Paris
to JFK on February 15th,
614
00:30:53,585 --> 00:30:56,214
but there's no record of him
leaving the US, or even Canada.
615
00:30:56,321 --> 00:30:58,266
Okay. You got a theory
to go with this travel log?
616
00:30:58,290 --> 00:31:01,454
What if Rudnick left the
US using Lena's passport
617
00:31:01,560 --> 00:31:03,119
and then came back as himself?
618
00:31:04,696 --> 00:31:09,327
You're suggesting he was able
to pass as a woman, post 9/11?
619
00:31:09,434 --> 00:31:12,598
Yeah, a red-haired lady
with a Swiss passport.
620
00:31:12,871 --> 00:31:15,340
So outside their profile,
nobody took a second look at her.
621
00:31:15,440 --> 00:31:17,102
And Rachel, the
victim from the bay,
622
00:31:17,275 --> 00:31:20,245
I mean, she was last seen
leaving her shelter with a woman.
623
00:31:20,345 --> 00:31:21,574
Or someone dressed like one.
624
00:31:21,947 --> 00:31:23,427
You using facial
recognition software?
625
00:31:23,515 --> 00:31:26,508
We are. Liv is headed to 1PP now
626
00:31:26,618 --> 00:31:28,849
to get the okay to bring
Rudnick in for questioning.
627
00:31:29,588 --> 00:31:32,114
Call her off. We'll
ask forgiveness later.
628
00:31:33,024 --> 00:31:35,224
For now, I'll find a pretext
to invite him to my office.
629
00:31:35,293 --> 00:31:37,305
So while he's with you, how
about a warrant for his house?
630
00:31:37,329 --> 00:31:39,329
I mean, knives, dresses,
who knows what we'll find.
631
00:31:39,398 --> 00:31:40,696
All right.
632
00:31:44,403 --> 00:31:45,427
Please come in.
633
00:31:45,570 --> 00:31:48,182
Dr. Rudnick, just so you know,
everything in this room is recorded.
634
00:31:48,206 --> 00:31:49,799
Have a seat.
635
00:31:49,908 --> 00:31:52,503
Um, Yates is
appealing his conviction.
636
00:31:52,611 --> 00:31:55,274
So this conversation may be
discoverable as part of that process.
637
00:31:55,380 --> 00:31:57,042
Of course. I also
record everything.
638
00:31:58,583 --> 00:31:59,983
Oh, Sergeant Benson.
639
00:32:00,318 --> 00:32:02,446
Yes, Dr. Rudnick, thank
you so much for meeting us.
640
00:32:03,422 --> 00:32:04,981
Just have a few
questions for you.
641
00:32:05,090 --> 00:32:06,285
Certainly.
642
00:32:08,827 --> 00:32:12,264
Okay, this file, do
you recognize it?
643
00:32:13,832 --> 00:32:17,132
Yes. This is the autopsy report
644
00:32:17,235 --> 00:32:19,204
of the Jane Doe you
found mummified.
645
00:32:19,304 --> 00:32:20,499
The Yates victim.
646
00:32:20,605 --> 00:32:23,905
And the address where the body
was found, do you recognize that?
647
00:32:24,009 --> 00:32:26,376
That's bizarre. I never
noticed the address.
648
00:32:28,113 --> 00:32:31,015
My eyes were on
the poor girl's remains.
649
00:32:31,783 --> 00:32:33,308
So you do recognize the address?
650
00:32:33,418 --> 00:32:34,886
It was my great aunt's house.
651
00:32:35,320 --> 00:32:36,447
Look at this.
652
00:32:38,356 --> 00:32:40,587
Keeps autopsy photos bedside.
653
00:32:40,692 --> 00:32:42,772
He'll probably claim he
takes his work home with him.
654
00:32:43,161 --> 00:32:45,357
And this woman,
you recognize her?
655
00:32:45,564 --> 00:32:47,897
Well, yes, of course.
That's Lena Grunwald.
656
00:32:47,999 --> 00:32:50,491
An old flame of mine
from 15 years ago.
657
00:32:51,503 --> 00:32:53,028
I'm sorry, what's
this all about?
658
00:32:53,605 --> 00:32:55,631
We believe the
body found in the wall
659
00:32:55,740 --> 00:32:57,834
of your aunt's house
was Lena Grunwald's.
660
00:33:02,948 --> 00:33:06,646
Oh, my God. I
didn't recognize her.
661
00:33:07,853 --> 00:33:09,287
And how could I, in that state?
662
00:33:09,387 --> 00:33:11,379
Are you suggesting
I autopsied my ex?
663
00:33:11,556 --> 00:33:13,252
So you didn't know
that she was dead?
664
00:33:13,358 --> 00:33:15,678
Well, of course not. Last
time I saw her was at the airport
665
00:33:15,760 --> 00:33:17,126
when she left for Switzerland.
666
00:33:18,129 --> 00:33:19,707
She must have come
back without my knowledge
667
00:33:19,731 --> 00:33:21,165
and fallen back in with Yates.
668
00:33:22,367 --> 00:33:25,496
Who took her to
your aunt's house,
669
00:33:25,604 --> 00:33:28,665
killed her, and
entombed her in the wall?
670
00:33:28,840 --> 00:33:30,706
That's an incredible
coincidence.
671
00:33:30,809 --> 00:33:33,438
Not really. We all
knew each other.
672
00:33:33,545 --> 00:33:35,411
And I occasionally
entertained at that home.
673
00:33:35,647 --> 00:33:37,172
So, you and Yates
knew each other?
674
00:33:37,949 --> 00:33:40,043
Yes, of course. It's
public knowledge.
675
00:33:40,519 --> 00:33:43,455
We were in med school at the
same time, a few years apart.
676
00:33:44,322 --> 00:33:45,950
He was always
rather jealous of me.
677
00:33:47,058 --> 00:33:48,583
You and Yates were colleagues.
678
00:33:48,693 --> 00:33:50,453
Did you ever think to
mention that to anyone?
679
00:33:51,530 --> 00:33:52,691
Well, frankly, no.
680
00:33:53,098 --> 00:33:54,726
When did you last
hear from Lena?
681
00:33:54,833 --> 00:33:57,667
We broke up
amidst a hard winter.
682
00:33:57,769 --> 00:33:59,635
It was 2002, 2003?
683
00:34:00,071 --> 00:34:01,699
And that son of a bitch.
684
00:34:02,440 --> 00:34:04,671
He always had a thing for Lena.
685
00:34:04,776 --> 00:34:06,972
And killing her is his
way of hurting me.
686
00:34:07,445 --> 00:34:09,038
He did this to hurt you and...
687
00:34:10,115 --> 00:34:12,778
And yet you didn't know
about it for 13 years?
688
00:34:12,951 --> 00:34:14,829
Well, what other
explanation could there be?
689
00:34:14,853 --> 00:34:16,412
He knew the house, he knew her,
690
00:34:16,521 --> 00:34:19,719
and he's a convicted
serial killer, and ipso facto...
691
00:34:26,898 --> 00:34:28,924
Oh, you can't think I had
anything to do with this.
692
00:34:29,868 --> 00:34:31,131
We can't?
693
00:34:31,469 --> 00:34:33,301
Oh, it's patently absurd.
694
00:34:37,075 --> 00:34:40,341
Dr. Rudnick, then
you wouldn't mind
695
00:34:40,679 --> 00:34:42,614
working through
some of the other,
696
00:34:42,714 --> 00:34:44,580
uh, inconsistencies
that we've found?
697
00:34:44,983 --> 00:34:46,349
Well, not at all.
698
00:34:46,952 --> 00:34:49,547
Given the change in
tenor of this conversation,
699
00:34:49,654 --> 00:34:51,088
I'm contacting my lawyer.
700
00:34:51,189 --> 00:34:53,055
I'd like to exercise that right.
701
00:34:55,093 --> 00:34:56,652
Feel free.
702
00:34:57,295 --> 00:35:00,163
We will wait to
continue questioning you
703
00:35:00,265 --> 00:35:01,494
until a lawyer arrives.
704
00:35:15,280 --> 00:35:17,306
You realize that
if he is guilty,
705
00:35:17,415 --> 00:35:19,384
then every case
he's testified in...
706
00:35:19,484 --> 00:35:21,612
I know. Every autopsy
he's performed...
707
00:35:21,853 --> 00:35:23,531
I don't even wanna think
about how many convictions
708
00:35:23,555 --> 00:35:24,579
will have to be reopened.
709
00:35:24,689 --> 00:35:26,248
Olivia.
710
00:35:27,125 --> 00:35:28,325
Rita. What are you doing here?
711
00:35:28,393 --> 00:35:30,794
I was working out a plea deal
when I got a message from Carl.
712
00:35:30,996 --> 00:35:32,828
Carl. You're
representing Dr. Rudnick?
713
00:35:33,365 --> 00:35:36,096
Everyone is entitled to the
best defense they can afford.
714
00:35:36,534 --> 00:35:40,096
And Dr. Rudnick, or his family,
can afford a very good one.
715
00:35:40,205 --> 00:35:42,299
And that, of course,
is all that matters.
716
00:35:42,574 --> 00:35:46,375
My client's waiting. He'll be coming
with me. He is done talking to you.
717
00:35:47,846 --> 00:35:49,109
Actually,
718
00:35:50,849 --> 00:35:52,249
he won't be leaving.
719
00:35:58,256 --> 00:36:01,420
Rita. It's very good of you
to come on such short notice.
720
00:36:01,526 --> 00:36:04,052
Of course, Carl. But I'm
afraid I have some bad news.
721
00:36:04,162 --> 00:36:06,529
Carl Rudnick,
you're under arrest
722
00:36:06,631 --> 00:36:09,760
for the murders of Rachel
Groves and Lena Grunwald.
723
00:36:09,868 --> 00:36:11,461
You have the right
to remain silent.
724
00:36:11,569 --> 00:36:14,437
Anything you say can and will be
used against you in a court of law.
725
00:36:14,973 --> 00:36:16,317
You have the right
to an attorney...
726
00:36:16,341 --> 00:36:17,570
We'll see you in court.
727
00:36:21,513 --> 00:36:23,106
Dr. Rudnick, how do you plead?
728
00:36:23,214 --> 00:36:24,614
Not guilty, Your Honor.
729
00:36:24,716 --> 00:36:27,151
He is a respected deputy
chief medical examiner
730
00:36:27,252 --> 00:36:28,412
for the borough of Manhattan.
731
00:36:28,486 --> 00:36:29,681
I'm aware of that, Counselor.
732
00:36:29,788 --> 00:36:31,518
With an impeccable reputation.
733
00:36:31,623 --> 00:36:35,151
We request ROR, as the charges
are, on their face, ridiculous.
734
00:36:35,326 --> 00:36:36,350
Mr. Barba?
735
00:36:36,561 --> 00:36:39,292
Dr. Rudnick has been charged
with two counts of first degree murder,
736
00:36:39,397 --> 00:36:41,696
one in which the
victim was vivisected.
737
00:36:42,000 --> 00:36:45,459
The other was found entombed
in the wall of his family's home.
738
00:36:45,804 --> 00:36:47,204
He's already
tampered with evidence.
739
00:36:47,272 --> 00:36:50,003
His position has allowed
him to cover up the crimes.
740
00:36:50,475 --> 00:36:52,876
Through several family trusts,
741
00:36:52,977 --> 00:36:54,775
he has the means
and the motive to flee.
742
00:36:55,080 --> 00:36:56,776
And we have reason to believe
743
00:36:56,881 --> 00:36:58,440
that he has traveled
internationally
744
00:36:58,550 --> 00:37:00,951
using passports from one
of his victims in the past.
745
00:37:01,052 --> 00:37:03,021
Dr. Rudnick only
became a suspect
746
00:37:03,121 --> 00:37:06,250
based on false accusations
by serial killer Greg Yates,
747
00:37:06,658 --> 00:37:09,560
in a desperate attempt to throw
doubt on his own conviction.
748
00:37:09,661 --> 00:37:10,685
Even if that's true,
749
00:37:10,795 --> 00:37:12,696
I'm sure the State
would not waste my time
750
00:37:12,797 --> 00:37:14,629
if they didn't have more
compelling evidence.
751
00:37:14,933 --> 00:37:18,768
Dr. Rudnick, you are to surrender
your passport to the court.
752
00:37:18,870 --> 00:37:20,771
Bail is set at $2 million.
753
00:37:23,975 --> 00:37:26,069
Rudnick posted
a $2 million bail?
754
00:37:26,177 --> 00:37:27,975
There's no money
like family money.
755
00:37:28,079 --> 00:37:30,310
It was wired in before
he was even processed.
756
00:37:30,448 --> 00:37:33,441
Hey. Check this out.
"The ME Nobody Knows."
757
00:37:34,185 --> 00:37:35,710
"The Monster in the Morgue."
758
00:37:35,820 --> 00:37:38,187
I mean, these headlines,
they write themselves.
759
00:37:38,289 --> 00:37:39,780
It's a freaky story.
760
00:37:39,891 --> 00:37:41,985
Yeah. Getting
freakier by the minute...
761
00:37:43,528 --> 00:37:46,760
Mommy and Noah will get a little
time later. There you go, sweetie.
762
00:37:47,298 --> 00:37:49,460
Okay. All right. Love you.
763
00:37:49,567 --> 00:37:51,487
Hey, Sarge, you're
gonna wanna see this.
764
00:37:52,270 --> 00:37:53,761
Great. You got something?
765
00:37:53,872 --> 00:37:57,240
Yeah. Facial recognition
came back on that TSA photo.
766
00:37:57,342 --> 00:37:59,072
It's definitely not Lena.
767
00:37:59,177 --> 00:38:02,238
Yeah, the jawline is wide by two
centimeters, the symmetry is wrong.
768
00:38:02,347 --> 00:38:04,475
And they also say it's not
inconsistent with Rudnick.
769
00:38:04,582 --> 00:38:07,279
This guy has a closet full of wigs
and dresses. We know it's him.
770
00:38:07,385 --> 00:38:09,547
We may know it's Rudnick,
but Barba wants proof.
771
00:38:09,654 --> 00:38:12,249
We need that photo of Lena in
Switzerland that he sent to Susie.
772
00:38:12,357 --> 00:38:14,917
Well, I've been trying to
reach Susie. So far no luck.
773
00:38:15,059 --> 00:38:17,858
All right, Rollins,
let's call Yates. Now.
774
00:38:18,530 --> 00:38:20,499
Something happened to Susie.
775
00:38:20,598 --> 00:38:22,226
She was supposed
to call this morning.
776
00:38:22,467 --> 00:38:24,060
She would never just forget.
777
00:38:24,202 --> 00:38:25,795
When's the last time
you talked to her?
778
00:38:25,937 --> 00:38:28,532
Last night. She said
she had good news.
779
00:38:28,640 --> 00:38:29,640
"Good news"?
780
00:38:29,707 --> 00:38:31,539
She said that she
had found the photo
781
00:38:31,643 --> 00:38:33,771
that Lena supposedly
sent from Switzerland.
782
00:38:33,878 --> 00:38:36,712
She felt it looked a
lot like Rudnick in drag.
783
00:38:37,949 --> 00:38:39,349
Was she gonna tell Rudnick that?
784
00:38:39,450 --> 00:38:40,816
No, I don't think so.
785
00:38:42,086 --> 00:38:43,987
Wait, he's still in
custody, isn't he?
786
00:38:44,756 --> 00:38:46,520
No, he made bail last night.
787
00:38:48,159 --> 00:38:49,159
Oh, no.
788
00:38:53,598 --> 00:38:54,657
She's not here?
789
00:38:54,766 --> 00:38:56,632
No. And I doubt she
went along willingly.
790
00:39:11,416 --> 00:39:13,544
Blood's mostly dried.
It's been a while.
791
00:39:15,153 --> 00:39:17,281
Get a BOLO out on Rudnick, ASAP.
792
00:39:17,755 --> 00:39:19,587
Then head over
to Real Time Crime.
793
00:39:19,691 --> 00:39:21,785
We're gonna need
a task force, TARU,
794
00:39:21,893 --> 00:39:24,021
TSA, Port Authority
Police. You know the drill.
795
00:39:24,128 --> 00:39:25,255
On it.
796
00:39:25,630 --> 00:39:27,656
Hey, Sarge. Sarge,
797
00:39:27,765 --> 00:39:29,965
I might have heard something
come over the borough-wide.
798
00:39:30,235 --> 00:39:32,602
Got freshly cut body parts
coming in with the tide.
799
00:39:32,704 --> 00:39:35,367
"Cut"? Were they female?
800
00:39:42,046 --> 00:39:43,207
What do we have?
801
00:39:43,314 --> 00:39:45,977
Well, we're still putting
the pieces together.
802
00:39:46,117 --> 00:39:49,451
Some fishermen saw the bags
coming in about an hour ago.
803
00:39:49,554 --> 00:39:50,831
And this is why I hate fishing.
804
00:39:50,855 --> 00:39:52,066
Learned that growing
up in Staten Island.
805
00:39:52,090 --> 00:39:54,218
We're a long way from Elmhurst.
806
00:39:55,326 --> 00:39:57,227
We're not sure it's Susie.
807
00:40:13,645 --> 00:40:14,977
We are now.
