sexually based offenses

are considered especially heinous.

In New York City,
the dedicated detectives

who investigate these vicious felonies

are members of an elite squad

known as the Special Victims Unit.

These are their stories.

He said to lay on the floor.

Okay.

So April Baker says

the attack happened around midnight.

She managed to free herself...

untie herself three hours later.

Husband says son of a bitch
stacked plates on his back.

So while he's raping her,

he can hear if the husband moved.

Exactly.

Let's get inside.

So whoever did this
disassembled the door latch

then jerry-rigged it back together

so that nobody would notice.

The perp staked out the place
when they were out of town?

We're looking at a pro.

Maybe worse.

Is this for real?

Surveilling the apartment,

breaking the door lock,
stacking plates.

I didn't want to believe it either.

How long has it been?

Twenty-five years.

The Infinity Rapist.

[DRAMATIC MUSIC]

♪ ♪

So Infinity's last rape
was January 2, 1994.

I was a rookie in the five-five.

Everyone in the five Boroughs
knew about that case.

Uh, not so much in Georgia.
How many rapes was he good for?

Twenty-two, in Manhattan
and Brooklyn from '81 to '94.

This guy targeted couples.

He'd case out the place,
jimmy open a door or window.

Then he'd lie in wait,
break in a second time.

He'd tie up the boyfriend or husband,

then he'd stack plates on their back

and he said if he heard
a rattle, the woman was dead.

He took trophies. Small personal items.

After the fifth rape,
he started leaving messages.

"Infinity: 5. NYPD: 0."

You, know, if this is him,

he's been out of commission
for over two decades,

which makes him middle-aged or older.

- So do we alert Crime Stoppers?
- Ah, no.

Until we know what we're dealing with,

One P.P. wants to keep it on the "DL."

Okay, no DNA in April's rape kit.

CSU found two hairs in the bed

but they're not a match to the Bakers

and no match in CODIS.

Okay, so check that DNA
against old evidence.

Have Stone do some digging.

Twenty-five years later.

Did they get a sense of this guy's age?

Uh, no.

They said that he, uh...

he spoke in a low voice,
he told the wife to keep quiet.

They didn't fight back,

so there's no sense
of his physicality either.

Here you go.

"Infinity, '81 to '94."

- There's over a dozen of them.
- [SIGHS]

- I'll get you a dolly.
- All right, thanks, George.

This is gonna take forever.

Hey, you never told me
your dad was on the case.

- What?
- Yeah, "Ben Stone",

"District Attorney's Office."

"Joint Infinity Task Force."

I didn't know.

I was in school.

We never talked about his cases.

"The Infinity Rapist"?

You guys think it was him?

That's... [SCOFFS]

- Horrifying.
- Well, we...

we don't know for sure, but the...

the M.O. of the assault
was... was almost exact.

So, April, do you remember...

seeing anybody watching you
or watching your building?

An older man?

No.

Okay, um...

He threatened to kill Gavin.

Did he say anything else
that you can remember?

Anything at all.

He told me to shut up.

He put his hand over my mouth

like he didn't want me to make a sound.

Did anything go missing?

- No.
- [SHAKY LAUGH]

We had cash in a desk.
My jewelry box was untouched.

This would have been
something personal.

N-no.

Uh, wait.

I couldn't find my hairbrush.

Does that matter?

Uh, it might.

It might.

I had no idea how haunted
my father was about this case.

Yeah, a lot of people
in law enforcement

lost sleep over this guy.

He was like the Zodiac

He forced them to pretend

He planned it to commemorate
the 25th anniversary

of Infinity's last rape.

The guy confessed. We got forensics.

Well, never underestimate

was it authenticated?

Handwriting analysis matched
those received by the NYPD.

Do we know where Patton got it?

Criminal memorabilia black market.

A dealer bought it from a detective

who was working
the Infinity case in the '80s.

- Mm-hmm.

- Wow.
BOTH: Thank you.

You know, Infinity wrote about me.

Look at this.

"Your son throws the ball

June 1988.

You know, my dad sent me and my sister

to live with my Aunt Carolyn
in Montana that summer.

Dropped us off

Three months later, not a word.

My aunt had to put us on a plane

so we wouldn't miss school.

I always resented him for that.

Sounds like he might have
been trying to protect you.

Hey. Hey, excuse me?

Can you turn this up?

Mr. Patton, you claim to be

the infamous Infinity rapist.

Yes.

And he'll talk to us?

He'll talk to my father.

[SIGHS]

"Dear Ben, I was thinking
about you last night.

- "Wondering about Mary."
- Mary Harris.

Infinity's 22nd victim.

"Wondering if Mary would
tell you "what I did to her."

"What I made her say."

"If she would get the details right"

"or if she would leave out
the interesting parts"

"because she was ashamed."

Infinity had a way with words.

That's probably what made him
interesting to Ben Stone.

Yeah.

My father studied him.

He read and reread the letters,

looking for clues about...
about the crimes.

His life.

About his traumatic childhood.

What do you mean?

As a boy, Infinity was forced to listen

while his father raped his mother.

[DRAMATIC MUSIC]

Explains the pathology, but...

I don't think any of that
was in the books.

And... and Ben Stone knew that?

Oh, my father was obsessed.

I mean, he kept everything.

I mean, look, letter after letter.

Infinity even sent him
a Father's Day card one year.

Look.

"Dear Ben, happy Father's Day."

Signed with the infinity symbol.

♪ ♪

Take a look.

Ben Stone kept this?

Yeah, he did.

He kept it in an evidence file

so it wouldn't get smudged or torn.

[LAUGHS]

Of course, the idiot,
he sent a card with golf clubs.

My father never played a game
of golf in his life.

Infinity couldn't have known that...

Right.

Because he knew nothing
about my father.

They had a relationship.

There was no relationship.

All those hours Ben Stone
spent on the case?

He spent more time with Infinity

than he did with his own family!

Ben Stone cared about
the women who were raped.

He cared about getting justice
for them.

You're a little confused.

If you think this was about you,

you're more insane than I thought.

No!

That's not true!

I know!

You know what?

[SIGHS]

I would wait outside the DA's office

until the light in his office went out.

Some nights, he wouldn't even
get in his car

until after midnight.

It was me he cared about.

Not you.

♪ ♪

Me!

It was me he loved!

[HEAVY BREATHING]

He's going to spend
the rest of his life in prison.

Your father would be proud, Peter.

I, uh...

I found this in my father's notes.

Uh, "Peter's game today."

"Don't be late. He's
the starting pitcher."

[LAUGHS]

I was in junior high.

It was the first game of the season.

He never showed.

- I hit a homer in the last inning.
- [SHE SCOFFS]

I went home and, uh...

I could tell he wanted to talk,
but I was so angry

I just went to my room.

I'll never forget
the disappointment in his eyes.

You were a teenager.

Yeah.

The next day he wrote this:

Uh...

"Peter's team won."

"Maybe he'll forgive me someday."

[SOMBER MUSIC]

We never talked about that game.

It was September '93.

♪ ♪

Turns out...

Infinity had struck again
the night before.

♪ ♪

Peter.

It's time to forgive him.

Yeah.

♪ ♪

Thank you, Lucy.

Why are you home early?

I thought we'd spend
a little time together.

I want Lucy.

[SIGHS] Okay, so, uh...

Noah, we all get
in bad moods sometimes,

and that's okay.

And sometimes it's not about Lucy

or olives or homework.

Right?

It means that we're upset
about something else.

What's wrong, honey? You can tell me.

Noah? Tell me.

It's Jeremy.

He keeps asking where my dad is.

I told him he's in heaven.

That's right, Noah.

He is.

Did he love me?

[SOMBER MUSIC]

Oh, sweetheart.

Honey, of course he did.

Very, very, very much.

♪ ♪

And...

someday, when you get older,

I promise you I'm gonna
tell you all about him.

But for right now, it's just...

it's just Team You and Me.

And I feel...

So very lucky to be on that team.

♪ ♪

Me too.

- I love you, honey.
- [KNOCKING ON DOOR]

One sec.

[KNOCKING ON DOOR CONTINUES]

Peter, hey. Something about the case?

Actually, I'm not here to talk to you.

- Coach!
- Hey.

I thought maybe Noah and me
could play a game of catch.

Can I play catch? Please, Mom?

Uh, sure you can.

[LAUGHING] There you go.

- Yeah.
- Hey, thanks.

- Come on, slugger.
- Let's go!

- Shoes.
- Hey, grab your coat!

- Okay!
- And coat, here you go.

All right, come on, come on.
Get those shoes on.

- Go, go, go.
- Yeah, that'll work.

That'll work. Come on, big guy.

Nice one. All right, put these on.

- All right, you ready?
- Let's go.

Thank you.

Thank you.
