[male announcer]
In New York City's
war on crime,

the worst criminal offenders
are pursued

by the detectives
of the major case squad.

These are their stories.

[knocking on door]

Come in.

Hey, baby.

Listen, tomorrow after dinner,

Grandpa wants to take
a family portrait, so...

You didn't have to press it.

Tell that
to your father.

Oh, and you know what?

Maybe you could polish this
a little bit?

Love you.
Mwah!

I'm so happy you're home.

Hi, babe.

- Is Amanda up yet?
- No.

I think she had a late night
at Trish's.

Amanda!

Time to get up!

Only four more hours
till the Lions game.

Honey, tell her
she's gotta make the stuffing.

I know some of you have
two Thanksgivings today,

so I want to thank everyone
for being here.

My children,

mother of my children,

Todd.

[cell phone rings]

Captain Ross.

The deputy commissioner's
daughter?

Okay, I got it.

[boy]
I got him!

[sighs]

Bobby, if you see me
get disoriented,

or weak on one side,

please call 911
and have them take me

to a real hospital
in the city, okay?
Yes.

Yes.[cell phone rings]

Yes, Captain.

Oh, God, I hate this place.

I'm with family, Captain.

Captain, is there anybody else, please?

Yeah, yeah.

Yeah, I know.

Good-bye.

She left last night
at 7:00

to go to her friend Trisha's
house.

Trish told me they stayed in.
They had a meal.

And then Amanda left
around 2:00 AM to come home.

Captain Ross mentioned

your daughter is home
from Iraq.

Which branch?

Army--
Specialist.

She was just awarded
the bronze star.

A soldier home
on leave.

Any chance she went
into the city?

- No.
- Look...

I know my daughter.

She would've called.

She never would've put

her mother and me
through this.

Come on,
you know they have

to ask these questions.

Detective, Chief, Danny.

Elaine.

Sorry about all this.

We'll find Amanda.

Thank you.

Detective...

Thank you for coming.

Amanda's getting married?

Leland didn't mention?

Next weekend.

It's a small ceremony.

Nothing too traditional.

Specialist Carlos Ruiz.

Yeah.

He was in Amanda's unit?

No, no--
In Afghanistan.

And neither one of them

could get any time off
for the honeymoon,

so right after the wedding
they were gonna...

go back to their
separate assignment.

[Leland]
I got the phone company's
CEO.

We'll be able to get
Amanda's phone records today

despite the holiday.

Well, while we're waiting
for those,

you two drop in
on the hometown friend.

Maybe she told Dockerty
the sort of story

she knows a father
wants to hear.

[loud chopping]

Excuse me.

Can you please stop that?

You and Amanda
tied one on last night?

Instead of coming
to my parents' house with me.

We only had
the one bottle.

Sharing one bottle of wine
usually make you sick?

Maybe I had some
bad spinach.

And you and Amanda

just stayed in all night?

Just two girls
putting their feet up.

You don't seem too worried

she hasn't made it home.

Amanda left here maybe
later than 2:00.

She might've pulled over somewhere.

Slept it off.

And hopefully
she'll wake up

and get home in time
for some pumpkin pie.

Chief.

[grunting]

[sighs]

Clear.

For now, we'll take it
as good news.

Trish said that Amanda
left her home

at 2:00 in the morning.

Well, this lot would be empty
at 2:00 AM.

Why park all the way
over here?

A woman wouldn't.

She'd only park over here

if the lot was full.

Unless she brought
a friend.

You know,
for a little privacy.

What are you implying,
Detective?

[Leland]
Amanda's getting married
in a week.

We have to consider
all possibilities, Commissioner.

That's all.

[Goren]
There is another possibility

that she could've
left earlier.

She was here during
peak travel time.

And Trisha's covering for her.

[officer]
Over here!

It's Amanda's.

[Eames]
That's a dress purse.

This is what Amanda
was carrying

when she left your house?

No.

No, she had on
a shoulder bag.

Not a purse.

[officer]
Start a search
of the perimeter.

Let's go, go, go!

[cell phone ringing]

I know what this is.

Yeah, Dr. Sylveste.

As soon as I can.

You're 20 minutes
from Carmel Ridge.

Yeah.

I'll cover for you.

All right.
All right, thanks.

[woman]
Got something!

This look like Amanda's?

Yes, that's her shoe.

But she wasn't wearing that

when she left the house.

[man]
Over here, another shoe!

Amanda changed her clothes
at my house.

A black dress
and these shoes.

She didn't want her parentsto know

that we were going
into the city.

We drove her to meet
her friend...

Ashton.

Ashton have a last name?

No, but he had a rank.

He's a specialist
like Amanda.

He serve in Iraq with her?

He did,
but he's out now.

Amanda arranged for us
to meet him here.

And then he drove us
to the city.

Oh, my God!

Where did you go,
Trish?

A club in midtown--

Verve.

Amanda said that she needed
to cut loose.

She have a thing
with Ashton?

No...

Somehow, I ended up
with Ashton.

I only had two cosmos
but I got wasted.

He took me to a motel.

When we left the club,

Amanda was dancing
with some guys.

That's all I remember.

This would've been good
for us to hear

the first time
we talked to you.

I figured she hooked up.

I never thought that--

If anybody could take care
of themselves,

it would've been Amanda.

[Goren]
Yeah, it's, uh, the Verve.

It's a club.

It's got
two different crowds.

It's got a bridge and tunnel

and the military.

Look, I still got a buddy
in CID.

I'll find out if he can

give me a list of guys
in her unit

who live in that area. Bobby...

Bobby...

We'll find this Ashton guy.

Bobby, Bobby...

I--I don't trust
these people!

Look, you got the head
radiation technician coming in,

and she'll give you
the attention that you need.

Oh, jeez!
Head technician?

Do you really think

they're gonna bring in
the head person?

[cell phone ringing]
Mom--
Yeah.

On--On Thanksgiving day?
I mean, they'd be--

They'd never, no, no--Okay, Mom.

Okay.

No, they'd hire some lackey
they can push around.

Captain!

[sighing]

This is it.

This is the last
of her outfit.

So where's her body?

Get your partner back here.
He's needed.

[Goren]
So, Ashton.

The women soldiers in Iraq--

Treated as equals?

Truth is, sir...

in Iraq, the guys
put the female soldiers

into two categories.

Sluts, if they slept around...

and bitches if they didn't.

Amanda--

Which category did you
put her in, Ashton?

I say this with respect, sir.

Amanda was a bitch.

But the way she was acting
at the club last night...

You left her there alone.

Trish wasn't feeling well, sir.

I wanted to get her
someplace safe.

Yeah, like a motel.

Yes, sir.

I didn't want to put her
on a train

in her condition and
I didn't want to drive in mine.

Right.

Amanda, these guys
that she was dancing with--

They look militaryto you?

More like the guys
who make your pizza.

These guys might've felt
lead on.

See, out in the desert,

even though the guys
were always trying to score

with the female soldiers,

there was always respect.

We wore the same uniform.

But out here
in the real world,

it's every man for himself.

Amanda might've forgotten that.

[woman]
Sex on the beach.

She had about six of them

I took her for military

the way she put them away.

When I tended bar,
we cut people off

if we thought they were
losing control.

We get a lot of soldiers here
straight from Iraq.

The deserve to forget themselves
a little.

So, you can see
what a shame it would be

if Amanda managed
to keep herself alive in Iraq

only to get herself killed
in her hometown.

Last time I noticed her,

she was with a guy
making out in the corner.

You catch a glimpse
of his face?

All I saw of him
was his hair.

A little shaggy.

Maybe a beard.

And he wore khakis, pressed.

[Goren]
You know, some of these guys,

when they get out
they grow their hair long.

It's an expression
of freedom.

This guy could be
ex-military.

Someone that she
had an affair with in Iraq.

You said her buddy Ashton said

she was pure as snow.

Yeah, he left in August.

They could've hooked up
after that.

Chief.

The dogs go frantic
when they sniff her clothes.

But they can't find her scent
on the ground.

They just run around
in circles.

Chief, you've combed
every inch of these woods.

Trail's gone cold,
you know?

I won't make that call.

No blood, no scent, no body.

Somebody scattered
her clothes...

to make it look like
something happened over there.

Amanda was stressed...

Drinking...

Making out with a guy
in a club.

She could've staged this
and gone AWOL.

AWOL...or a runaway bride.

Amanda's last call
was at 6:00 PM to Ashton Rorick

arranging to meet
at the rest stop.

They went into the city together.

Trish and Ashton ended up

spending the night
at a hotel.

She's telling you this now?

Did Amanda have mixed feelings

about going back to Iraq?

Are you insinuating
that she staged this

so she could go AWOL?

Who cares!
Who cares!

Lee, I just want my daughter
to come home safe.

Amanda would not do that.

[Eames]
I talked to the bartender
where Amanda was last seen.

Amanda was talking to a man.

They seemed to know
each other.

[Goren]
She could've gotten a ride

back to her car
and scattered the clothes.

And ran off with this man
from the club?

[cell phone ringing]

Sorry.

[Goren]
Yeah?

Pardon me.

This is your top man?

Dr. Sylveste...

Uh, oh, yes.

Yes, he was here.

But I didn't want
to talk to him,

so I pretended to be asleep.

[grunting]

Well, if you pretend
like you're sleeping,

then how's he gonna--

[Frances over the phone]
And where is your brother?

You said he was going
to be here.

And he's not here.

I'm all by myself.

[Goren over the phone]
I'm in the middle of--

If you--
I'm gonna come, I'm gonna come.

I know the Commissioner
doesn't want to think

Amanda could've gone AWOL.

But if there's anything
that she told you

that could help us.

She did say
that she thought that...

she was beginning to think

Carl wasn't the man
that she thought he was.

Did she say why
she started to doubt him?

Oh, we were talking
about the war.

She said that she felt

that it was opening up
her eyes to things

that she really
didn't want to see.

Do you know of any place

Amanda might go for refuge?

You know, after we married

we lived for a year
in Ireland.

That's where she was born.

So she has an Irish passport.

Yeah.

I can't believe
that you think

our daughter could be
a deserter.

Even now, with all
the information that we have,

you refuse to accept
that she's a very vulnerable,

confused, normal 22-year-old
young woman.

What?

Are you blaming me?

Lee, I found this
in the trash

on the side of our house.

Leland, this thunderstorm
is maybe ten minutes away.

Gonna hit hard.

You've got a lot
of people out there.

Bring 'em in.

Bring 'em all in.

Call the whole damn thing off!

Found both her passports
in her bedroom.

If she left the country,
she used fake ID,

different name...

What about her bank account?

How is she?

I'll have you out of here
as soon as I can.

Amanda have
any ATM withdrawals?

$200 before
she got to the club.

That's it.

Not exactly a war chest.

In the meanwhile,

her fiancé Carlos Ruiz
is expected to touch down

at JFK in an hour.

I'd rather we talk to him
before the Commissioner does.

I told Amanda what goes on TDY
stays TDY.

Sure, I've seen soldiers
do things on temporary duty

that they wouldn't do
back home.

But your fiancé?
Come on.

Back here in our civvies,

I wouldn't tolerate
an affair.

But when Amanda's
is in uniform,

she's a soldier first.

And soldiers have sex
with each other.

It has nothing to do

with the real world.

You wouldn't understand.

Did she tell you his name?

No.

This guy's squad
joined her platoon

at the beginning
of September.

He was going home
in three weeks.

They were never gonna
see each other again.

I wouldn't be so sure.

Last time anyone saw Amanda,

she was kissing a man
we believe

to be an ex-soldier.

No.
You're mistaken.

She might've slept
with this guy,

but it meant nothing.

The only thing that matters
over there

is surviving.

Doing whatever
you have to do

to make sure you
and your buddies

get home in one piece.

Elaine said Carl was
old world,

but he's ahead of my time.

He gets the culture
Amanda's part of.

Would she leave a guy like that
at the alter?

My husband Joe,
he was a cop.

He gave me a Taser gun once
for our anniversary.

Sometimes you want to be
more than your job.

I take it Joe is an ex.

He died eight years ago.

Sorry.

All right, four men
from Amanda's platoon

finished tours
at the end of September.

One lives in Michigan.

Two of them went
to California.

And one's in Queens.

Wesley Burkhartz.

[Ross]
Squad leader.

Joined Amanda's platoon
September 1st.

Where is he now?

Looks like he works
as an EMT

for St. Vincent's hospital
in Manhattan.

I saw Amanda there, sure.

Night before Thanksgiving
at Verve

was like old home week.

I ran into a lot of people
from my tour.

The bartender said
you and Amanda

looked pretty cozy
in that corner.

Yeah, well...

I had an idea how I wanted
the night to go.

But Amanda told me
to get lost.

I did.

So you left the club?

I had to punch in here
at 0800.

So I got some shut eye.

Did you go home?

My uncle's place nearby.

He can vouch for you?

Maybe.
He's a metal worker.

A little hard of hearing.

[over radio]
Engine first due phone alarm.

Apartment fire,
129 West 4th Street.

Looks like you got
a fire radio up front here.

Look at that,
police and fire.

You like to buff calls, huh?

Yeah.

Do you mind stepping out
of my bus?

Ow.

[Goren]
How'd you get that?

It was stupid accident.

I was bent down,
giving someone mouth-to-mouth.

When I sat up,
I hit my head

on the corner
of the table.

Those stitches are sloppy.

Did you do that yourself?

Yeah, you learn how to DIY
when you're in the desert.

Happened on the job.

You fill out
a workman's comp form?

Not yet.

I gotta go.

[engine starts]

There goes a big hero.

[cell phone ringing]

That scab on his head
was fresh.

Eames.

Okay, thanks.

SID may have tracked
Amanda's last hours.

Amanda's last call
on her cell phone

was at 6:00, right?

Right.
To Ashton.

But she left her phone on.

SID was able to track
her movements Wednesday night

by which cell sites
her phone hit.

Up until 8:00,

Amanda was in Rockford
with Trish.

They leave the rest stop,
drive south,

connecting with
different cell sites

all the way into the city.

She went to midtown.

West side until
after 2:00 AM.

That would be Verve,
the club.

[Eames]
Then her signal
starts roaming again.

East through the tunnel
into Queens.

Queens?

What the hell
is she doing there?

Then her signal--
It stops...

There at 3:30 in the morning.

[Goren]
No signal after that.

But the phone was found
in Rockford.

Yeah, the assailant
might not have known

that the cell phonewas on

until he dumped her off.

And where he
shut it off there.

And he drove back
to Rockford

and got rid of the cell
with her clothes.

And left Amanda behind?

In Shea Stadium?

Uh, behind the stadium.

Willets Point.

The Iron Triangle.

There's nothing there
but auto junkyards.

[Leland sighs]

[Goren]
Yeah.

Well, we're about
a hundred yard away

from the antenna there.

[light tapping sound]

[deeper tapping sound]

[bangs drum]

Eames.

[lid clangs on the ground]

[grunts disgustedly]

She was...

Executed.

Fog of war
followed her home.

[Rodgers]
Head shot's the only trauma.

Scratches on her body
are postmortem.

Most likely got them

when she was being stuffed
into that oil drum.

No sign of sexual assault?

Not that I can tell.

No blood or skin
under her nails.

I'll take a closer look
in the lab.

Leland, I'm so sorry.

[crying]

Amanda!

[weeping]

Lee!

How could this happen, Lee?

[crying]
How could you let this
happen?

You think you can protect
your own,

but you can't.

Captain, Dockerty didn't try
to protect his daughter.

His expectations
pushed her into this.

Not ours to say, Detective.

I sent a couple of unis over

to pick up Wesley
for questioning.

He's gone.

He took off
after we talked to him?

That doesn't make him
look guilty.

He's jealous.

Wanted to stop Amanda
from getting married.

[cell phone ringing]"If I can't have you,

"nobody can."

Your brother?

There would've been signs
of sexual assault.

It was cold.
It was impersonal.

It was planned in advance.

Those barrels--

I bet they're usually
picked up on Fridays.

If not for the holidays,

Amanda's body would be
on a slow boat

to a distant refinery.

The killer knew this location.

If Wesley's the killer,

there should be something
that ties him to this place.

He was infantry

when his squad joined
Amanda's platoon.

Nothing to do with machinery.

He said he crashed
at his uncle's.

Metal worker.

Lotta body shops
around here.

His uncle only needs
to work at one of them.

[Eames]
Most of these businesses

are closed
for the holiday weekend.

The few people I've found

haven't heard of anybody
named Burkhartz.

You have any luck?

His "son is defending
our freedom" bumper sticker.

Auto machinery--
The rebuild engines in cars.

Let's see if they pay
their phone bill.

"B and B engineering
and machinery

"will reopen
on Monday."

Burkhartz and Burkhartz.

Ken Burkhartz says

he hasn't seen his son
since September.

That's convenient.

He give you any ideas
where to look for him?

He said Wesley works
all the time.

Doubles when he can get them.

Not much of a social life

since he came back
from Iraq.

Tox screen
from Amanda's autopsy.

Traces of Rohypnol.

No sign of sexual assault.

He used the date rape drug,
but he didn't rape her.

The whole night
was meant to lead

to Amanda's murder.

Trish said she got wasted
on two cosmos.

She was vomiting
the morning we saw her.

She couldn't remember things.

All side effects
of Rohypnol.

[man]
Goren,

phone for you.

Ashton Rorick.

He was the wingman.

He arranged to take the girls
to the club,

and separated them

so Wesley could be alone
with Amanda.

Correct me if I'm wrong--

even though Ashton and Wesley

knew Amanda
from the same platoon,

they weren't there
at the same time.

So how did they end up
planning her murder together?

[Frances on the phone]
Oh, it's amateur hour
here today.

The doctors, the nurses...

They talk to me
like I'm an idiot.

I'm telling you,
I've had it with these people.

If you don't come soon,
I'm walking out.

Mom...

I thought you said
you were with Trish all night.

I was.
I just went out to get a burger.

Where, in Connecticut?

The videotape shows you
getting back to the motel

two hours later.

Trish and Amanda
were given Rohypnol.

You took Trish
back to the motel.

Wesley took Amanda
to Willets Point.

Did you help him kill her?

No!
I would never hurt Amanda.

You helped murder
the daughter

of the first deputy commissioner
of the NYPD.

You're in trouble, Ashton.

I didn't kill her.

Wesley did, then you helped him
mop it up.

Why did he kill her?
'Cause he was jealous?

I don't know.

[sighs]

You don't, do you?

That's because
you're a good soldier.

You know, a good soldier
does what he's told.

Problem with
being a good soldier

is that you need
a good leader to rely on.

Wesley's gone, Ashton.

He left you
to take the fall.

You didn't know Wesley.

You finished your tour

two weeks before his squad
joined your unit.

Why trust him?

My buddies told me
he was a stand-up guy.

That he had their back
over there--

He had their back?

What is that--
"Had their back?"

Look, I don't have
the time for this, man.

I don't expect you
to understand, sir.

We checked with CID.

Late August,
after Ashton came home,

two soldiers from
his and Amanda's unit

were killed in an ambush.

They were set up
by the Iraqi army.

Five days later,

an entire Iraqi platoon
was slaughtered,

execution-style.

I don't remember
reading about this.

You didn't.

The investigation concluded

the Iraqis were killed
by insurgents.

It's a cover-up.

It wouldn't have been hard.

Their unit investigated
the incident.

[Carlos]
They were shot
by insurgents.

That's what Amanda told you?

She couldn't say much.

The only place
she could use a phone

was a tent where
six other guys worked.

But she was very emotional.

What did you tell her?

I told her not
to say anything.

That we'd talk about it stateside.

And this was when?
This was a week.

That's a long time
to sit on a secret.

Amanda said she wanted
to quit the army.

But I didn't want
to hear that.

The army's given me everything.

I let her down.

[Goren]
Well, it's hitting him hard.

Maybe you should console him, Commissioner.

He was almost
your son-in-law.

My daughter's dead, Detective.

I don't owe anyone
my sympathy right now.

Well, maybe you never do.

Maybe that's why Amanda

didn't tell you
the whole story.

Detective.

What do you know
about my daughter?

Or about what kind
of father I am?

Well, as little as you know
about who I am.

[Ross]
Detective, you're out of line.

Whatever happened over there,

they must've been afraid
Amanda would talk about it

when she came home.

This Wesley Burkhartz...

Sounds like a leader.

That ambushed unit--
That must've been his.

They caught him doing 80

on a rural road
in Pennsylvania.

Should have him here
in about two hours.

What the hell
was that, Bobby?

You want to throw it
all away?

Back off.

My name is Wesley Burkhartz.

I reside at 324 Cosseboom Road.

My date of birth
is 1/25/1980.

Name, address, DOB.

A civilian version
of the rules of conduct.

You are not
a prisoner of war, Wesley.

My name is Wesley Burkhartz.

I reside
at 324 Cosseboom Road.

My date of birth is 1/25/1980.

This is a torture technique,
isn't it?

Having to listen
to the same sound

over and over again.

I've heard enough of this.

Take him to the holding cell.

[Ross]
If he won't talk to you,

maybe he'll talk to me.

Do you know
who I am, boy?

I'm Deputy Commissioner
Leland Dockerty.

Amanda's father.

And you're in my house now.

He's been in there
a few minutes.

Don't worry.
He'll play it by the book.

I know I did.

I haven't said "sir"
so many times since I was 12.

Had time to cool off?

He doesn't scare.

He's a cold-blooded killer.

He knew that I could
do anything I wanted to him.

He killed my daughter.

He didn't confess?

No.
No, he just stood there.

He didn't flinch.

Didn't plead.

No concern for anyone's life.

Not even his own.

It's hard to get a confession

if he's incapable of guilt.

Maybe we should tell him

that he's got nothing
to feel guilty about.

You do that.

My name is Wesley Burkhartz.

I reside at 324 Cosseboom Road.

My date of birth
is 1/25/1980.

My name is Wesley Burkhartz.

[Goren]
I know who you are, Wes.

Tell me who these guys are.

[Goren]
That's Tyrone Yulin
and David Hovath.

They were in your unit.

Your brothers.

We know that they were
dragged down the street

all the way to your camp
by a truck.

That they were
set on fire.

You were their squad leader.
It was your fault.

No.
No.

I was acting on a tip.

A sergeant in the Iraqi army
told me he had, uh...

good intel
from a reliable source.

Some hostiles holed up
in a house nearby.

You raided that house.

And it was an ambush.

These guys only had

a few days
before they went home.

These are the men

from that Iraqi sergeant's
unit.

Killed five days
after your squad was ambushed.

Execution-style,

by insurgents.

Or that's what you'd like us
to believe.

Can you tell me
what's in these pictures?

War.

When Tyrone and David
were hit, you--

you did
what a hero would do.

You investigated this.

Army's short staffed.

No CID where we were.

Right, but they were shot
in the back of the head.

At close range.

[Goren]
What I can't figure out

is how did the insurgents
get so close

without this unit
putting up its guard?

Come on, you're not buying this,
are you?

This guy has no respect
for the law.

It wasn't insurgents.

U.S. soldiers killed
those Iraqi soldiers.

[Goren]
Eames.

The report concluded
it was insurgents.

But your unit wrote
that report.

What about Amanda?

Her name's not on the report.

She thought things
might've happened differently.

Yeah, she betrayed
her brothers.

I thought that you
would've talked to her.

You know, especially since
you were having an affair.

It didn't matter to her.

Headstrong type.

Well, she was sticking up
for the Iraqis.

She's lucky
she didn't get killed

by friendly fire.

Did your brothers ask you
to keep an eye on her?

I wanted to talk
some sense into her.

But she was headstrong.

And she thought
she was being a hero.

I just wanted to talk to her.

But she was insistent.

She kept saying
she was gonna talk to her dad.

[Goren]
You couldn't let her
do that.

I mean, you couldn't
take the risk

of another traitor
being in your midst.

I didn't want
to hurt Amanda.

I know.
I believe you.

Did she start a scene
in the club?

She was, uh...
She was loud.

Drunk...
[clears throat]

I took her outside.
I, um...

But she fought me.

Struggled at the car.

[Goren]
That's how you got
the cut on your head?

[Burkhartz]
I hit my head
on the corner of the door.

I did what I had to do.

On my own...

For my brothers.

[handcuffs closing]

Why didn't
she come to me first...

Before anyone?

She was afraid of me.

She was going to tell you.

She was waiting
for the right time.

Did she think
I would actually

put the army before her?

I would've put her
above everything.

Didn't she know that?

She was my daughter.

My daughter.

[Ross]
Good job, Detectives.

You can get me your paperwork--

You can save it, all right?
I'm leaving.

You want to fire me?

Fire me, I don't care.
