1
00:00:01,480 --> 00:00:03,480
- Another body
at Yates' burial ground.
2
00:00:03,490 --> 00:00:05,460
- Someone committed
this horrific crime
3
00:00:05,460 --> 00:00:07,820
to piggyback it onto crimes
I've been accused of.
4
00:00:07,820 --> 00:00:08,950
- You know who the killer is.
5
00:00:08,960 --> 00:00:10,590
- Dr. Carl Rudnick.
6
00:00:10,590 --> 00:00:12,820
- Accusing the Deputy Chief ME
of rape and murder?
7
00:00:12,830 --> 00:00:14,800
- Oh, you can't think that I had
anything to do with this.
8
00:00:14,800 --> 00:00:17,600
- Carl Rudnick,
you're under arrest.
9
00:00:17,600 --> 00:00:19,630
- Something happened to Susie.
10
00:00:19,640 --> 00:00:21,370
She was supposed to call
this morning.
11
00:00:21,370 --> 00:00:23,070
Rudnick's still in custody,
isn't he?
12
00:00:23,070 --> 00:00:25,070
- No, he made bail last night.
13
00:00:25,080 --> 00:00:29,380
- We're not sure it's Susie.
14
00:00:29,380 --> 00:00:30,780
- We are now.

Male announcer:
In the criminal justice system,
16
00:00:39,590 --> 00:00:43,095
sexually based offenses are
considered especially heinous.
17
00:00:43,096 --> 00:00:45,420
In New York City,
the dedicated detectives
18
00:00:45,430 --> 00:00:47,430
who investigate
these vicious felonies
19
00:00:47,430 --> 00:00:48,920
are members of an elite squad
20
00:00:48,930 --> 00:00:50,930
known as
the Special Victims Unit.
21
00:00:50,930 --> 00:00:53,430
These are their stories.
22
00:00:54,570 --> 00:00:56,340
- What the hell
is going on here?
23
00:00:56,340 --> 00:00:57,640
- Exigent circumstances.
24
00:00:57,640 --> 00:00:59,030
- Oh, nice try.
25
00:00:59,040 --> 00:01:01,200
I don't hear
anyone screaming for help.
26
00:01:01,210 --> 00:01:04,070
You have a warrant
to search Dr. Rudnick's house?
27
00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:05,540
- We had one yesterday.
28
00:01:05,550 --> 00:01:08,420
- And now you need a new one.
- Really, Rita?
29
00:01:08,420 --> 00:01:11,420
- We don't know
that Dr. Rudnick was involved.
30
00:01:11,420 --> 00:01:12,780
- Where's your client, Rita?
31
00:01:12,790 --> 00:01:14,490
- I haven't heard from him.
32
00:01:14,490 --> 00:01:17,820
- He is the suspect
in this murder, okay?
33
00:01:17,830 --> 00:01:20,100
You hear from him,
you better let us know.
34
00:01:21,100 --> 00:01:22,670
- The only legal obligation
I have
35
00:01:22,670 --> 00:01:24,870
is to make sure
that he shows up at trial.
36
00:01:24,870 --> 00:01:27,110
- Wow. You're claiming
attorney-client privilege
37
00:01:27,110 --> 00:01:30,200
for a psychopath
who's on the run,
38
00:01:30,210 --> 00:01:31,310
who gutted a woman.
39
00:01:31,310 --> 00:01:33,180
- I have no knowledge of that,
40
00:01:33,180 --> 00:01:35,810
and I have no knowledge of
any future acts he may commit.
41
00:01:35,810 --> 00:01:37,410
- His car is missing.
42
00:01:37,410 --> 00:01:38,910
He's not answering
his telephone.
43
00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:41,090
We need to search
this house now.
44
00:01:41,090 --> 00:01:45,580
- And you can as soon
as you get a warrant.
45
00:01:57,900 --> 00:01:59,905
- Fin's at Real Time
checking traffic cams.
46
00:01:59,906 --> 00:02:01,600
Sarge is
at Rudnick's town house.
47
00:02:01,610 --> 00:02:03,310
There's no sign of this guy.
He's in the wind.
48
00:02:03,310 --> 00:02:06,210
- Yeah, well, he murdered
and dismembered Susie Frain.
49
00:02:06,210 --> 00:02:07,450
I wouldn't have
stuck around either.
50
00:02:07,450 --> 00:02:10,310
We're still missing a left leg.

00:02:17,050 --> 00:02:18,780
Ah, that's a calf.
53
00:02:18,790 --> 00:02:21,560
- Sawed off at the left knee,
not a lot of blood.
54
00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:24,590

55

56
00:02:26,460 --> 00:02:28,390
- [clears throat]
Yeah, give me one second.
57

Oh.
[vomits]
58
00:02:29,670 --> 00:02:32,770
- Oh, easy.
You all right?
59
00:02:32,770 --> 00:02:35,940
- Yeah.
Yeah, I'm fine.
60
00:02:39,610 --> 00:02:42,380
I am going
to drive us back, okay?
61
00:02:42,380 --> 00:02:45,280
[camera shutter clicking]
62
00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:46,840
- 12 hours
after Rudnick posts bail,
63
00:02:46,850 --> 00:02:48,550
a potential prosecution witness
64
00:02:48,550 --> 00:02:50,150
is found in pieces
with the morning tide?
65
00:02:50,150 --> 00:02:51,980
- We're well aware
of the problem.
66
00:02:51,990 --> 00:02:53,525
- Counselor.
- Where the hell is he?
67
00:02:53,526 --> 00:02:54,980
- This is all we know, okay?
68
00:02:54,990 --> 00:02:57,090
He was last seen posting bond
at 8:00 p.m. last night.
69
00:02:57,090 --> 00:02:58,620
- Uber driver confirms
dropping him off

00:02:59,900 --> 00:03:02,100
So, sometime between last night
and this morning,
72
00:03:02,100 --> 00:03:03,700
he goes
to Susie Frain's apartment,
73
00:03:03,700 --> 00:03:05,270
he dismembers her,
he bags the body,
74
00:03:05,270 --> 00:03:06,610
dumps her in the water
at Fort Tilden,
75
00:03:06,610 --> 00:03:07,730
and then he disappears.
76
00:03:07,740 --> 00:03:09,210
- We've got a BOLO
out on his car,
77
00:03:09,210 --> 00:03:10,480
his credit, his bank cards.
78
00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:11,700
So far, no hits.
79
00:03:11,710 --> 00:03:12,950
- No sightings, no traffic cams.
80
00:03:12,940 --> 00:03:14,370
Does everyone know
he dresses in drag?
81
00:03:14,380 --> 00:03:16,280
- We've alerted state troopers
and the FBI.
82
00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:18,010
- Oh, they already know.
83
00:03:18,010 --> 00:03:19,910
The ME's office,
the mayor's office,
84
00:03:19,920 --> 00:03:22,120
the people in my office...
[cell phone vibrating]
85
00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:23,690
People are falling over
themselves to point fingers.
86
00:03:23,690 --> 00:03:25,160
- Okay, I get it.
It's a mess, all right?
87
00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:27,890
No leave, no vacation, no...
88
00:03:27,890 --> 00:03:30,590
- Yes, I'll hold
for the governor.
89
00:03:30,590 --> 00:03:32,850
Find him.
- Okay.
90
00:03:34,460 --> 00:03:36,120
- Wow. Somebody
needs a vacation.
91
00:03:36,130 --> 00:03:37,890
- You can't blame him.
92
00:03:37,900 --> 00:03:40,030
I mean, the guy jumps bail,
and then he kills our witness.
93
00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:41,270
- Speaking of,
94
00:03:41,270 --> 00:03:43,370
we need to notify Yates
that his fiancée is dead.
95
00:03:43,370 --> 00:03:45,130
- Look, that's not a priority
right now.
96
00:03:45,140 --> 00:03:46,270
He'll find out on the news.
97
00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:49,010
- I know he will,
but the photo, Sergeant,
98
00:03:49,010 --> 00:03:51,540
the photo that Rudnick sent to
Susie pretending he was Lena...
99
00:03:51,550 --> 00:03:54,450
CSU tore her house apart.
They couldn't find it anywhere.
100
00:03:54,450 --> 00:03:56,010
- Yeah, of course they couldn't.
101
00:03:56,020 --> 00:03:57,890
That's why Rudnick went
to her house in the first place.
102
00:03:57,890 --> 00:03:59,630
- So check her phone records.
Find out if she called Rudnick.
103
00:03:59,620 --> 00:04:01,920
- What, do you think she was
using that photo for blackmail?
104
00:04:01,930 --> 00:04:05,230
You know she did not come up
with that idea on her own.
105
00:04:05,230 --> 00:04:06,930
- Which is why
I need to talk to Yates.
106
00:04:06,930 --> 00:04:08,700
You know he's more open
when it's just the two of us.
107
00:04:08,700 --> 00:04:10,430
- Nice try, Rollins.

Can I see the body?
111
00:04:22,410 --> 00:04:24,940
- That's not going to be
possible, Dr. Yates.
112
00:04:24,950 --> 00:04:27,080
- Are you sure it was her?
113
00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:28,780
- We're sure.
I'm sorry.
114
00:04:30,250 --> 00:04:32,410
- So we were hoping, uh,
to talk to you
115
00:04:32,420 --> 00:04:35,720
about your last conversation
with Susie Frain.
116
00:04:35,730 --> 00:04:37,860
- Yes, of course.
117
00:04:37,860 --> 00:04:39,790
How did Rudnick kill her?
118
00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:41,330
- Still waiting on the autopsy.
119
00:04:42,460 --> 00:04:43,590
- You are?
120
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:46,740
Could you ask the ME
to test her HCG levels?
121
00:04:46,740 --> 00:04:48,100
- Excuse me?
122
00:04:48,100 --> 00:04:51,030
- I'd like to know
whether Susie was pregnant.
123
00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:55,000
That afternoon in April before
I was arrested,
124
00:04:55,010 --> 00:04:56,240
we made love.
125
00:04:56,250 --> 00:04:59,020
I could sense
that she was ovulating.
126
00:04:59,020 --> 00:05:01,250
When we had our conjugal,
127
00:05:01,250 --> 00:05:04,310
she agreed to take
a pregnancy test.
128
00:05:06,420 --> 00:05:11,020
It's quite possible that I was
going to be a father...

00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:48,920
It's not like she can hear me.
175
00:08:08,070 --> 00:08:10,440
- You lay this new floor
in here?
176
00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:12,080
- I told you she was
a good tenant.
177
00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:13,850
She must have put
that in herself.
178
00:08:13,850 --> 00:08:15,200
- Right.
179
00:08:34,830 --> 00:08:37,130
Carisi.
180
00:08:37,130 --> 00:08:39,330
- Hey, I found more wigs
and floral print dresses,
181
00:08:39,340 --> 00:08:40,870
lots of them.
182
00:08:40,870 --> 00:08:43,740
- It's red hair,
just like Rachel Groves'.
183
00:08:43,740 --> 00:08:46,080
And these look
like cutting marks to you?
184
00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:48,750
- Totally.
I'll call CSU.
185
00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:53,820
- I got your message
about Rudnick's aliases
186
00:08:53,820 --> 00:08:55,890
so I rechecked
his Jane Doe autopsies.
187
00:08:55,890 --> 00:08:57,890
The last one was in October.
188
00:08:57,890 --> 00:09:01,325
50-year-old homeless woman
found dead on the E train,
189
00:09:01,326 --> 00:09:02,720
listed as natural causes.
190
00:09:02,730 --> 00:09:04,990
- Never ID'd.
191
00:09:04,990 --> 00:09:09,020
- Rudnick's paperwork says "no
match on fingerprints or DNA."
192
00:09:09,030 --> 00:09:10,830
But I got a print hit
193
00:09:10,830 --> 00:09:15,630
on a New York City food stamp
application... Teresa Fish.
194
00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:18,880
- Rudnick wanted to make sure
that nobody would miss her
195
00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:21,040
so he could steal her identity.
196
00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:24,040
- Identity thief,
rapist, killer...
197
00:09:24,050 --> 00:09:25,780
The damage
he's done to this office,
198
00:09:25,780 --> 00:09:27,380
it makes me furious.
199
00:09:27,380 --> 00:09:28,880
- Not to mention they
brought him up from Dade County
200
00:09:28,890 --> 00:09:31,020
instead of giving you
that promotion.
201
00:09:31,020 --> 00:09:33,820
You know, you should reapply.
202
00:09:33,820 --> 00:09:37,450
- Before I do that,
I need to rerun DNA and prints
203
00:09:37,460 --> 00:09:40,800
on every body he's ever sent
to Potter's Field.
204
00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:42,900
- [sighs]
205
00:09:42,900 --> 00:09:45,540
Thank you, Melinda.
206
00:09:45,540 --> 00:09:47,200
- You were right.
207
00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:50,370
One can see pronounced gouges
on this bottom layer.
208
00:09:50,370 --> 00:09:52,600
- Any guess
on what the implement was?
209
00:09:52,610 --> 00:09:54,610
- I'd say
it's a large, flat blade,
210
00:09:54,610 --> 00:09:57,370
maybe a cleaver.
- Oh.
211
00:09:57,380 --> 00:10:02,120
- Aha, it's a pattern,
white marks, strokes.
212
00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:04,560
- So he tried to wipe off the
blood, maybe what, with bleach?
213
00:10:04,560 --> 00:10:07,580
- Yeah, but he didn't
get it all, hence the glow.
214
00:10:12,830 --> 00:10:15,200
- [grunts]
215
00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:17,440
Okay.
216
00:10:21,500 --> 00:10:23,600
Dried blood.
217
00:10:23,610 --> 00:10:26,040
- Quite apparent something
barbarous happened here.
218
00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:27,300
- Yeah.
219
00:10:27,310 --> 00:10:28,680
- Hey, you up for a flight?
220
00:10:28,680 --> 00:10:30,980
- No, not really.
- Tough luck.
221
00:10:30,980 --> 00:10:32,680
Our plane leaves in 40 minutes.
222
00:10:32,680 --> 00:10:34,710
Rudnick just got picked up
in Syracuse for shoplifting.
223
00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:36,090
Take a look.
224
00:10:39,690 --> 00:10:41,690
- We ran the prints,
but the system was down.
225
00:10:41,690 --> 00:10:43,150
By the time we got a match,
he was gone.
226
00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:44,560
He said his flight
was leaving in an hour.
227
00:10:44,560 --> 00:10:47,060
- So you let him walk?
Great.
228
00:10:47,060 --> 00:10:48,960
- We thought we had
a 50-year-old cross-dresser
229
00:10:48,970 --> 00:10:51,670
near tears because his mother
was dying in Canada.
230
00:10:51,670 --> 00:10:53,570
He stole a frickin' box
of Coffee Nips.
231
00:10:53,570 --> 00:10:54,670
- All right, I get it.
232
00:10:54,670 --> 00:10:57,130
- We did give him a desk ticket.
- Good for you!
233
00:10:57,140 --> 00:10:58,840
- Listen, Rollins,
their system was down.
234
00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:01,070
He said his mother was dying.
235
00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:02,880
All right, we've had a long day.
236
00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:04,380
- The good news is, no one
with that name got on a plane,
237
00:11:04,380 --> 00:11:05,620
train, or rented a car.
238
00:11:05,620 --> 00:11:06,890
- Did you check
his other aliases?
239
00:11:06,890 --> 00:11:08,510
'Cause he has at least four.
240
00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:10,190
- We did. Look, we got
this entire town locked down.
241
00:11:10,190 --> 00:11:12,420
He's not going anywhere.
- Planes, trains, automobiles.
242
00:11:12,420 --> 00:11:13,680
Did you check buses?
243
00:11:13,690 --> 00:11:15,390
A Meta Bus left an hour
ago for Buffalo.
244
00:11:15,390 --> 00:11:16,790
He could walk to Canada
from there.
245
00:11:16,790 --> 00:11:17,890
- Yeah.
- What time does it arrive?
246
00:11:17,890 --> 00:11:19,150
- It just left Rochester.
247
00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:20,620
It's going to be there
in two and a half hours.
248
00:11:20,630 --> 00:11:23,570
- We're going
to need a squad car now.
249
00:11:26,500 --> 00:11:29,200
- Here comes our bus.
250
00:11:33,510 --> 00:11:35,250
- You're the detectives
from New York?
251
00:11:35,250 --> 00:11:36,940
- Yeah.
252
00:11:36,950 --> 00:11:38,950
- Bob Hencamp, Buffalo PD.
- Dominick Carisi.
253
00:11:38,950 --> 00:11:40,250
This is Detective Rollins.
254
00:11:40,250 --> 00:11:41,520
We call her Sunny.
255
00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:44,250
- Sunny Rollins?
Okay.
256
00:11:44,250 --> 00:11:46,350
Troopers picked up the bus
on I-90 an hour ago,
257
00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:47,960
followed at a discreet distance.
258
00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:49,330
- Well, he's still on board.
259
00:11:49,330 --> 00:11:51,795
- There was an E. Howard credit
card purchase in Syracuse.
260
00:11:51,796 --> 00:11:54,220
Bus didn't make any stops
between Rochester and here.
261
00:11:54,230 --> 00:11:55,930
- Okay, well,
let's do this thing.
262
00:11:55,930 --> 00:11:58,690
Nice and easy, all right?
We don't want to spook him.
263
00:12:02,070 --> 00:12:03,470
- Dr. Rudnick.
264
00:12:03,470 --> 00:12:05,300
- This is your guy?
- I'm Ellie Howard,
265
00:12:05,310 --> 00:12:07,180
and I fully intend
to pay my fine for shoplifting.
266
00:12:07,180 --> 00:12:08,850
- Ms. Howard, stop.
267
00:12:08,850 --> 00:12:10,350
Why don't you come
with us, all right?
268
00:12:10,350 --> 00:12:13,020
We'll sort this out.
269
00:12:13,020 --> 00:12:14,520
- Hands behind your back,
please.
270
00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:16,290
- [sighs]
Is that really necessary?
271
00:12:16,290 --> 00:12:18,920
- Let him do his job.
272
00:12:20,860 --> 00:12:24,660
[handcuffs clicking]
273
00:12:24,660 --> 00:12:27,230
- All right, come on.
274
00:12:27,230 --> 00:12:33,840
- So you got a cross-dressing
rapist, murderer
275
00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:35,670
in your ME's office.
276
00:12:35,670 --> 00:12:38,270
You guys down in New York City
really are progressive.
277
00:12:38,270 --> 00:12:39,970
- Did he say anything?
278
00:12:39,980 --> 00:12:41,350
- He bitched
when we searched him.
279
00:12:41,350 --> 00:12:45,010
Maybe because he had a money
belt with 64,000 in cash.
280
00:12:45,010 --> 00:12:46,670
- So why is he shoplifting
Coffee Nips, then?
281
00:12:46,680 --> 00:12:50,350
- Well, that's
the $64,000 question.
282
00:12:50,350 --> 00:12:52,750
Just give me a minute
to finish paperwork,
283
00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:55,420
and he's all yours.
284
00:12:55,420 --> 00:12:57,450
- Do you have a cause of death?
285
00:12:57,460 --> 00:12:59,100
- Manner, homicide.
286
00:12:59,100 --> 00:13:01,500
No one ends up
like this accidently,
287
00:13:01,500 --> 00:13:03,970
Cause of death, exsanguination.
288
00:13:03,970 --> 00:13:05,540
- So she bled out
when he cut her up.
289
00:13:05,540 --> 00:13:08,910
- No, the dismemberment
occurred post-mortem.
290
00:13:08,910 --> 00:13:11,575
The problem is I can't find
the initial wound.
291
00:13:11,576 --> 00:13:14,200
Most likely trauma
to the femoral vein or artery...
292
00:13:14,210 --> 00:13:16,150
Stab wound, maybe gunshot.
293
00:13:16,150 --> 00:13:17,815
- To the missing left thigh?
294
00:13:17,816 --> 00:13:21,240
- I would guess that's
why Rudnick made it disappear.
295
00:13:21,250 --> 00:13:22,990
There's something else.
296
00:13:22,990 --> 00:13:25,560
Susie's tox screen
came back clean,
297
00:13:25,560 --> 00:13:28,020
but her HCG levels were high.
298
00:13:28,020 --> 00:13:29,580
She was pregnant.
299
00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:36,660
- We aren't actually
going to drive
300
00:13:36,670 --> 00:13:38,200
all the way back
to Manhattan, are we?
301
00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:39,660
- Shut up.
302
00:13:39,670 --> 00:13:41,405
You took the bus
up here anyway, right?
303
00:13:41,406 --> 00:13:43,900
- Yes, when I was traveling
incognito.
304
00:13:43,910 --> 00:13:45,340
- What were you
thinking, anyway,
305
00:13:45,340 --> 00:13:47,170
skipping out
on a $2 million bail?
306
00:13:47,180 --> 00:13:48,350
- Well, what were they thinking?
307
00:13:48,340 --> 00:13:50,210
They charged me with two
murders, then let me go.
308
00:13:50,210 --> 00:13:53,680
Who wouldn't run?
[cell phone ringing]
309
00:13:53,680 --> 00:13:55,910
- Hey, Sarge.
310
00:13:55,920 --> 00:13:57,360
Yeah, we're making
pretty good time,
311
00:13:57,360 --> 00:13:59,850
as long
as we don't get pulled over.
312
00:13:59,860 --> 00:14:00,925
We should be back around...
313
00:14:00,926 --> 00:14:03,050
Wait. Hold on.
Let me check my app.
314
00:14:03,060 --> 00:14:04,730
- Noon.
- Wait. Hold on.
315
00:14:04,730 --> 00:14:06,060
- Noon.
- Noon.
316
00:14:06,060 --> 00:14:08,360
All right,
we'll be back around noon.
317
00:14:08,360 --> 00:14:11,490
All right.
Copy that.
318
00:14:12,530 --> 00:14:14,700
They found his car.
319
00:14:14,700 --> 00:14:15,930
- Why are you whispering?
320
00:14:15,940 --> 00:14:17,380
Rudnick, they found your car.
321
00:14:17,380 --> 00:14:20,640
- Well, give yourselves
a gold star.
322
00:14:20,640 --> 00:14:23,240
- We sure it's Rudnick's?
323
00:14:23,250 --> 00:14:24,980
- Plates and all identifiers
are stripped,
324
00:14:24,980 --> 00:14:26,310
but we got the VIN
off the engine block.
325
00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:27,880
- Okay, so why here?
326
00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:29,840
- The train to the plane
is a block away.
327
00:14:29,850 --> 00:14:31,980
- Oh, so had
we found this any earlier,
328
00:14:31,990 --> 00:14:33,420
we would have been
searching JFK.
329
00:14:33,420 --> 00:14:35,780
- While he got across the border
on his Meta Bus.
330
00:14:35,790 --> 00:14:38,550
He's not stupid,
but he was in a rush.
331
00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:39,890
He left blood.
332
00:14:39,900 --> 00:14:42,030
Now, it's just a trace,
333
00:14:42,030 --> 00:14:44,260
but that's all I need.
- Great.
334
00:14:44,270 --> 00:14:45,700
I'll call Barba.
335
00:14:45,700 --> 00:14:50,370
- A young man
like yourself working at SVU.
336
00:14:50,370 --> 00:14:51,900
That has to be depressing.
337
00:14:51,910 --> 00:14:55,010
- You work in a morgue.
- I find peace in that.
338
00:14:55,010 --> 00:14:56,600
I bring closure to people.
339
00:14:56,610 --> 00:14:58,740
- Yeah,
when you're not killing them.
340
00:14:58,750 --> 00:15:01,390
- Death, in its way,
is the ultimate closure.
341
00:15:01,390 --> 00:15:04,010
- Is that a confession?
342
00:15:04,020 --> 00:15:05,920
- Thanks.
343
00:15:08,690 --> 00:15:10,660
Sure you don't want
something more substantial?
344
00:15:10,660 --> 00:15:12,130
- Mm, yes, I'm sure.
345
00:15:13,730 --> 00:15:15,370
Do you people think
about what you eat?
346
00:15:15,370 --> 00:15:17,530
- Nope.
- You should.
347
00:15:17,530 --> 00:15:19,030
All that cholesterol...
348
00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:20,810
I could tell you
both right now what your livers
349
00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:22,830
are going to look like when
they're eventually on the slab.
350
00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:25,780
- You know what?
Don't.
351
00:15:27,510 --> 00:15:30,680
- I don't mean to be a nuisance,
but may I use the facilities?
352
00:15:32,510 --> 00:15:34,580
- [scoffs]
353
00:15:36,180 --> 00:15:37,650
- [sighs]
354
00:15:37,650 --> 00:15:40,110
- Whoa.
Hey, it's still occupied.
355
00:15:40,120 --> 00:15:41,480
Hey, look, it's my uncle.
356
00:15:41,490 --> 00:15:44,600
I'll see if I can hurry
him along, okay?
357
00:15:45,630 --> 00:15:48,500
- Well, This is unfortunate.
358
00:15:48,500 --> 00:15:52,170
They think I killed that woman
and cut her up.
359
00:15:52,170 --> 00:15:55,470
I don't understand why.
360
00:15:55,470 --> 00:15:59,270
Of course, I do understand.
It's still offensive.
361
00:15:59,280 --> 00:16:00,780
So are they.
362
00:16:00,780 --> 00:16:02,850
[sighs]
363
00:16:02,850 --> 00:16:06,680
Quiet, Doctor, quiet.
364
00:16:06,680 --> 00:16:08,280
Good man.
365
00:16:08,280 --> 00:16:10,910
[toilet flushes]
366
00:16:12,850 --> 00:16:15,250
- Hey, Doc, come on,
we got to go.
367
00:16:15,260 --> 00:16:17,030
- Oh.
368
00:16:17,030 --> 00:16:20,030
Could I trouble you
for my phone?
369
00:16:20,030 --> 00:16:22,370
I need to call my lawyer.
370
00:16:22,370 --> 00:16:25,670
- Mr. Barba?
- Uh-huh?
371
00:16:25,670 --> 00:16:27,500
[scoffs]
372
00:16:27,500 --> 00:16:30,160
Rita...
373
00:16:30,170 --> 00:16:32,330
you have one hell of a client.
374
00:16:32,340 --> 00:16:33,370
Kills a pregnant witness
375
00:16:33,380 --> 00:16:35,210
and tries to cross the border
in a dress.
376
00:16:35,210 --> 00:16:36,770
- Dr. Rudnick was out on bond.
377
00:16:36,780 --> 00:16:39,050
He was simply taking
in the sights of Buffalo.
378
00:16:39,050 --> 00:16:41,280
- Uh-huh.
379
00:16:41,280 --> 00:16:44,210
We have a DNA match
from Rachel Groves' hair
380
00:16:44,220 --> 00:16:47,890
and blood on the kitchen floor
of an apartment that he leased.
381
00:16:47,890 --> 00:16:50,730
- He's an ME.
He autopsied her body.
382
00:16:50,730 --> 00:16:52,860
It could be
cross-contamination.
383
00:16:52,860 --> 00:16:54,820
- Well, he didn't autopsy
Susie Frain,
384
00:16:54,830 --> 00:16:56,400
and we found her blood
in his car.
385
00:16:56,400 --> 00:16:58,000
- They were old friends.
386
00:16:58,000 --> 00:16:59,500
He gave her a ride.
387
00:16:59,500 --> 00:17:01,160
She bled from a paper cut.
388
00:17:01,170 --> 00:17:03,170
Both those cases
were circumstantial,
389
00:17:03,170 --> 00:17:06,670
and don't get me started
on a 13-year-old body in a wall.
390
00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:08,840
- So why are you here, Rita?
391
00:17:08,840 --> 00:17:11,510
- You have an ME accused
of being a serial killer.
392
00:17:11,510 --> 00:17:15,980
The last thing your bosses want
is a long, drawn-out trial.
393
00:17:15,990 --> 00:17:19,360
And these headlines...
How are your migraines?
394
00:17:26,190 --> 00:17:27,660
- Your solution is?
395
00:17:27,660 --> 00:17:31,330
- Dr. Rudnick pleads to one
count of tampering with evidence
396
00:17:31,330 --> 00:17:34,660
and one count
of unlawful disposal of a body.
397
00:17:34,670 --> 00:17:38,440
This goes away
as quietly as possible.
398
00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:40,000
- Misdemeanors?
399
00:17:40,010 --> 00:17:43,680
He killed three women.
400
00:17:43,680 --> 00:17:45,310
I can offer manslaughter,
401
00:17:45,310 --> 00:17:46,570
20 years on each,
served concurrently.
402
00:17:46,580 --> 00:17:48,140
- A public defender
can get as much.
403
00:17:48,150 --> 00:17:50,350
He is paying for more than that.
404
00:17:52,690 --> 00:17:54,190
- I hope there's enough money
in the world, Rita.
405
00:17:54,190 --> 00:17:57,290
I really do.
406
00:17:57,290 --> 00:18:00,090
- You better hope
you don't get a conviction,
407
00:18:00,100 --> 00:18:01,660
because if you do,
408
00:18:01,660 --> 00:18:04,330
every case Dr. Rudnick touched
will be subject to an appeal,
409
00:18:04,330 --> 00:18:06,330
starting with Greg Yates.
410
00:18:11,470 --> 00:18:14,170
- I was so worried...
411
00:18:14,180 --> 00:18:17,880
about what might happen
to Susie.
412
00:18:17,880 --> 00:18:19,320
She was always so trusting.
413
00:18:19,320 --> 00:18:22,690
She never saw the dark side
of people.
414
00:18:22,690 --> 00:18:24,360
- Like Dr. Rudnick.
415
00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:31,930
What did she say to you
when you last spoke?
416
00:18:31,930 --> 00:18:36,670
- She firmly believed
that if she asked him,
417
00:18:36,670 --> 00:18:40,070
he would work to set me free
in exchange for the photo.
418
00:18:40,070 --> 00:18:42,910
I knew she was walking
into the lion's den,
419
00:18:42,910 --> 00:18:44,210
but she wouldn't listen.
420
00:18:44,210 --> 00:18:45,610
I...
421
00:18:45,610 --> 00:18:48,780
I think she wanted me out
to be there when she gave birth.
422
00:18:48,780 --> 00:18:50,650
- So she told you
she was pregnant.
423
00:18:50,650 --> 00:18:53,920
- No, she didn't need to.
424
00:18:53,920 --> 00:18:55,780
I knew.
425
00:18:55,780 --> 00:18:59,280
She had
a slightly different scent...
426
00:18:59,290 --> 00:19:01,690
like you do.
427
00:19:03,460 --> 00:19:06,360
How far along are you,
Detective?
428
00:19:06,360 --> 00:19:14,360
- Ms. Calhoun,
are you ready to proceed?
429
00:19:47,900 --> 00:19:49,660
- We are, Your Honor.
- Mr. Barba.
430
00:19:49,670 --> 00:19:50,830
- Your Honor, in addition
431
00:19:50,840 --> 00:19:52,340
to the two standing charges
of murder one,
432
00:19:52,340 --> 00:19:55,500
the defendant is now charged
with the murder of Susie Frain.
433
00:19:55,510 --> 00:19:57,940
- Dr. Rudnick,
how do you plead?
434
00:19:57,950 --> 00:19:59,750
- I apologize for being late,
Your Honor.
435
00:19:59,750 --> 00:20:01,850
John Buchanan for the defense.
436
00:20:01,850 --> 00:20:03,320
My client pleads not guilty.
437
00:20:03,320 --> 00:20:05,055
- I know who you are, Counselor,
438
00:20:05,056 --> 00:20:07,380
but I'm not a fan
of courtroom theatrics.
439
00:20:07,390 --> 00:20:09,490
What's going on here,
Ms. Calhoun?
440
00:20:09,490 --> 00:20:13,250
- I just need a moment
to confer with my client.
441
00:20:13,260 --> 00:20:15,220
- So he is still your client.
442
00:20:15,230 --> 00:20:17,290
- He is, Your Honor. Dr. Rudnick
has retained us both.
443
00:20:17,300 --> 00:20:18,500
- You have?
444
00:20:18,500 --> 00:20:20,500
- Rita, the state
saw fit to double down.
445
00:20:20,500 --> 00:20:22,300
I thought it prudent
to do the same.
446
00:20:22,300 --> 00:20:24,100
Now, you both have
my complete confidence.
447
00:20:24,110 --> 00:20:26,010
- May we proceed?
448
00:20:26,010 --> 00:20:27,545
People on bail.
- Remand.
449
00:20:27,546 --> 00:20:29,800
While out on bail,
the defendant murdered
450
00:20:29,810 --> 00:20:32,310
and dismembered
a prosecution witness.
451
00:20:32,310 --> 00:20:33,640
- Another wild accusation.
452
00:20:33,650 --> 00:20:36,290
- More to the point, he is free
to travel within the state.
453
00:20:36,290 --> 00:20:38,520
He has violated no court order.
454
00:20:38,520 --> 00:20:40,420
- That is absolutely correct.
- Enough, Doctor.
455
00:20:40,420 --> 00:20:44,150
Your bail was a privilege
that has just been revoked.
456
00:20:44,160 --> 00:20:46,000
You are remanded to Rikers.
457
00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:49,300
- In that case, I have a motion
to separate these three charges.
458
00:20:49,300 --> 00:20:50,630
- As do I.
459
00:20:50,630 --> 00:20:53,360
- Coordinate,
and I'll let the presiding judge
460
00:20:53,370 --> 00:20:54,610
know what he's in for.
461
00:20:54,610 --> 00:20:56,300
Good day.
[gavel bangs]
462
00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:02,480
- Hey.
463
00:21:02,480 --> 00:21:03,650
Missed you in court.
464
00:21:03,650 --> 00:21:06,480
- Yeah.
- You look green.
465
00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:08,310
Have a ginger ale.
466
00:21:08,320 --> 00:21:10,150
[can rattles]
467
00:21:10,150 --> 00:21:12,010
- I'm good.
468
00:21:12,020 --> 00:21:13,780
[can opens]
469
00:21:13,790 --> 00:21:15,760
- So have you told anybody yet?
470
00:21:23,630 --> 00:21:25,530
- Nope.
471
00:21:28,470 --> 00:21:30,410
I just found out.
472
00:21:33,310 --> 00:21:35,980
And not that it's any
of your business,
473
00:21:35,980 --> 00:21:37,680
but, you know,
it's not Nick's, so...
474
00:21:37,680 --> 00:21:39,980
- Okay.
475
00:21:39,980 --> 00:21:41,480
What are you going to do?
476
00:21:41,480 --> 00:21:43,810
- I'm not going to do anything.
477
00:21:43,820 --> 00:21:46,660
- Well, you might want
to tell the sarge.
478
00:21:52,630 --> 00:21:56,000
- Whiskey.
Does that mean it's bad news?
479
00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:58,700
- [sighs] Rudnick's dream team
just got their first win.
480
00:21:58,700 --> 00:21:59,990
The judge granted their motion
481
00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:01,400
to separate out
the three charges.
482
00:22:01,400 --> 00:22:03,900
- How?
There's a clear pattern.
483
00:22:03,910 --> 00:22:05,710
- [sighs] Not really.
484
00:22:05,710 --> 00:22:08,180
The murders are spread out
over 13 years,
485
00:22:08,180 --> 00:22:10,210
and the motives
are arguably different.
486
00:22:10,210 --> 00:22:11,510
Lena was his fiancée.
487
00:22:11,510 --> 00:22:13,440
Susie was blackmailing him,
488
00:22:13,450 --> 00:22:15,890
and Rachel... she was just easy
pickings, crime of opportunity.
489
00:22:15,890 --> 00:22:17,450
- Okay, I get it.
So the judge thought
490
00:22:17,450 --> 00:22:18,880
that linking the three
together would be
491
00:22:18,890 --> 00:22:21,990
more prejudicial than probative.
- Prejudicial than probative.
492
00:22:21,990 --> 00:22:23,760
- Okay.
493
00:22:23,760 --> 00:22:25,100
So what do you need from me?
494
00:22:25,100 --> 00:22:28,560
- A thigh,
to establish cause of death.
495
00:22:28,560 --> 00:22:30,260
Susie Frain
is our strongest case.
496
00:22:30,270 --> 00:22:33,840
- The thigh is gone,
but you don't need it.
497
00:22:33,840 --> 00:22:35,500
He cut her up, Barba.
498
00:22:35,500 --> 00:22:38,230
I don't care how good
those lawyers think they are.
499
00:22:38,240 --> 00:22:41,410
When the jury sees
what he did to that woman...
500
00:22:41,410 --> 00:22:43,380
he's done.
501
00:22:45,680 --> 00:22:48,220
- [sighs]
502
00:22:50,220 --> 00:22:52,120
- Were you able
to identify the victim?
503
00:22:52,120 --> 00:22:54,480
- Yes.
In another bag we opened,
504
00:22:54,490 --> 00:22:58,360
we found the decapitated head
of Susie Frain.
505
00:22:58,360 --> 00:23:00,560
It was...
506
00:23:00,560 --> 00:23:02,490
one of the most
gruesome crime scenes
507
00:23:02,500 --> 00:23:03,800
that I've ever witnessed.
508
00:23:03,800 --> 00:23:05,430
- Objection.
509
00:23:05,430 --> 00:23:08,160
These injuries occurred
after Ms. Frain's death.
510
00:23:08,170 --> 00:23:10,340
They have no bearing
on the murder charge
511
00:23:10,340 --> 00:23:12,610
and serve only
to prejudice this jury.
512
00:23:12,610 --> 00:23:14,180
- Overruled.
513
00:23:14,180 --> 00:23:15,745
I'll allow up to a point,
514
00:23:15,746 --> 00:23:17,340
and I want to remind the jury
515
00:23:17,350 --> 00:23:19,180
that you're here to determine
the facts of the murder
516
00:23:19,180 --> 00:23:22,810
and not what happened
to the body post-mortem.
517
00:23:22,820 --> 00:23:26,660
- Sergeant Benson, the body
on the beach was Susie Frain?
518
00:23:26,660 --> 00:23:28,560
- Yes, without a doubt.
519
00:23:28,560 --> 00:23:30,630
DNA links all the pieces.
520
00:23:30,630 --> 00:23:32,600
- Nothing further.
521
00:23:39,330 --> 00:23:41,160
- Good morning, Sergeant.
522
00:23:41,170 --> 00:23:43,010
When you first met Ms. Frain,
523
00:23:43,010 --> 00:23:45,780
it was in connection with
another murder case, correct?
524
00:23:45,780 --> 00:23:47,170
- It was.
525
00:23:47,180 --> 00:23:49,410
- The brutal kidnapping,
rape, and murder
526
00:23:49,410 --> 00:23:54,070
of a Chicago PD employee by
Ms. Frain's fiancée, Greg Yates.
527
00:23:54,080 --> 00:23:55,310
- Yes.
528
00:23:55,320 --> 00:23:57,090
- Did Ms. Frain
529
00:23:57,090 --> 00:24:00,590
maintain his innocence even
after Dr. Yates' conviction?
530
00:24:00,590 --> 00:24:02,125
- Objection.
Relevance.
531
00:24:02,126 --> 00:24:04,020
- Your Honor,
I intend to show a direct line
532
00:24:04,030 --> 00:24:08,800
between Ms. Frain's pathological
desire to clear her fiancée
533
00:24:08,800 --> 00:24:11,300
and the events
that led to her death.
534
00:24:11,300 --> 00:24:13,200
- I'll allow.
535
00:24:13,200 --> 00:24:16,800
- Did Ms. Frain ever become
aware that Dr. Carl Rudnick
536
00:24:16,810 --> 00:24:19,740
was the Deputy Chief ME
for Manhattan
537
00:24:19,740 --> 00:24:23,900
who had supervised the autopsies
of Dr. Yates' victims?
538
00:24:23,910 --> 00:24:25,470
- Yes, and I know
that it's your job
539
00:24:25,480 --> 00:24:27,040
to try to make a connection
between the two...
540
00:24:27,050 --> 00:24:30,090
- Well, so let me do my job.
541
00:24:30,090 --> 00:24:32,050
And after that,
542
00:24:32,050 --> 00:24:35,720
did you and ADA Barba
543
00:24:35,720 --> 00:24:37,550
helpfully arrange
for a conjugal visit
544
00:24:37,560 --> 00:24:40,960
between Ms. Frain
and Dr. Yates?
545
00:24:40,960 --> 00:24:42,720
- We did.
546
00:24:42,730 --> 00:24:46,330
- Once reunited, did they both
spontaneously accuse Dr. Rudnick
547
00:24:46,340 --> 00:24:47,570
of a series of crimes?
548
00:24:47,570 --> 00:24:48,870
- Yes, but there were also
549
00:24:48,870 --> 00:24:50,300
two other women
who had been murdered.
550
00:24:50,310 --> 00:24:54,340
- So is it possible
that they were colluding
551
00:24:54,340 --> 00:24:58,210
to incriminate Dr. Rudnick
in hopes of discrediting him
552
00:24:58,210 --> 00:25:01,980
and thus bolstering
Yates' chance for an appeal.
553
00:25:01,980 --> 00:25:03,910
- Objection.
Speculation.
554
00:25:03,920 --> 00:25:06,050
- Is it?
555
00:25:06,050 --> 00:25:08,350
Withdrawn.
556
00:25:08,360 --> 00:25:10,560
Nothing further.
557
00:25:10,560 --> 00:25:12,860
Thank you, Sergeant.
558
00:25:20,770 --> 00:25:22,140
- Susie Frain was cooperating
559
00:25:22,140 --> 00:25:24,310
with a separate investigation
into Dr. Rudnick.
560
00:25:24,310 --> 00:25:25,740
- Objection, Your Honor.
561
00:25:25,740 --> 00:25:27,400
- This line goes directly
to motive.
562
00:25:27,410 --> 00:25:30,480
- I'll allow
but only in that context.
563
00:25:30,480 --> 00:25:32,215
- In what way was Ms. Frain
cooperating?
564
00:25:32,216 --> 00:25:33,970
- She was searching for photos
565
00:25:33,980 --> 00:25:36,610
which we believed would provide
evidence against Dr. Rudnick,
566
00:25:36,620 --> 00:25:37,750
but she was murdered
567
00:25:37,750 --> 00:25:39,480
before she had the chance
to deliver them to us.
568
00:25:39,490 --> 00:25:43,060
- Did you find these photos
in her home?
569
00:25:43,060 --> 00:25:45,630
- No, but as the crime-scene
pictures show...
570
00:25:45,630 --> 00:25:48,030
- People's exhibit 47A,
47B, Your Honor.
571
00:25:48,030 --> 00:25:50,270
- Objection.
This is prejudicial.
572
00:25:50,270 --> 00:25:51,540
- It's a crime scene.
573
00:25:51,540 --> 00:25:54,300
- Agreed. Overruled.
574
00:25:54,300 --> 00:25:57,800
- So you can see
her ransacked memento boxes,
575
00:25:57,810 --> 00:26:00,140
and we also later
obtained security footage
576
00:26:00,140 --> 00:26:01,640
from her mini-storage facility.
577
00:26:01,640 --> 00:26:02,970
- People's exhibit 48A.
578
00:26:02,980 --> 00:26:04,780
- Where you can see the victim
579
00:26:04,780 --> 00:26:08,150
had retrieved those same boxes
the day before she was murdered,
580
00:26:08,150 --> 00:26:09,950
so we believe whoever killed her
581
00:26:09,950 --> 00:26:11,550
took the incriminating photos
with them.
582
00:26:11,550 --> 00:26:13,350
- Objection.
Pure speculation.
583
00:26:13,360 --> 00:26:16,530
- Sustained.
Jury will disregard.
584
00:26:19,590 --> 00:26:20,820
- Nothing further.
585
00:26:20,830 --> 00:26:22,200
- You just said
that Ms. Frain
586
00:26:22,200 --> 00:26:23,830
had agreed to search
for these photos.
587
00:26:23,830 --> 00:26:26,290
Is there any reason
to think that she found them?
588
00:26:26,300 --> 00:26:28,100
- Sergeant Benson and I
were informed of that fact
589
00:26:28,100 --> 00:26:29,330
by Dr. Yates.
590
00:26:29,340 --> 00:26:31,010
- Dr. Yates.
591
00:26:31,010 --> 00:26:33,980
You mean the convicted murderer?
592
00:26:33,980 --> 00:26:38,510
I see from the prison logs
that you visited Dr. Yates
593
00:26:38,510 --> 00:26:40,340
a half a dozen times
in the last few weeks.
594
00:26:40,350 --> 00:26:43,220
- I was hoping he could help me
with a number of unsolved cases.
595
00:26:43,220 --> 00:26:45,460
- Two of those visits
you undertook on your own.
596
00:26:45,460 --> 00:26:49,180
Is that common practice
for a female NYPD detective?
597
00:26:50,990 --> 00:26:52,620
- He was more open to me
that way.
598
00:26:52,630 --> 00:26:55,000
- So he confided in you.
599
00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:59,030
Did he also enlist you to help
him get a conjugal visit
600
00:26:59,030 --> 00:27:00,830
with Ms. Frain?
601
00:27:00,840 --> 00:27:03,040
- Sure.
- Given that, it seems fair
602
00:27:03,040 --> 00:27:06,610
to say that you had
a relationship with Mr. Yates.
603
00:27:06,610 --> 00:27:08,780
- Not in the way you mean.
- Oh, how do I mean it?
604
00:27:08,780 --> 00:27:10,080
- Objection.
605
00:27:10,080 --> 00:27:11,850
- I'll rephrase.
606
00:27:11,850 --> 00:27:13,380
Did anyone in your squad
607
00:27:13,380 --> 00:27:16,010
ever think that Mr. Yates
was toying with you,
608
00:27:16,020 --> 00:27:18,550
attempting to implicate
Dr. Rudnick
609
00:27:18,550 --> 00:27:21,720
in an effort
to exonerate himself?
610
00:27:21,720 --> 00:27:25,520
- All informants have an agenda.
611
00:27:25,530 --> 00:27:28,830
Good detectives...
612
00:27:28,830 --> 00:27:30,770
evaluate their credibility.
613
00:27:30,770 --> 00:27:33,170
- Your answer is yes, then?
614
00:27:33,170 --> 00:27:34,570
- Objection.
615
00:27:34,570 --> 00:27:36,670
- Withdrawn.
616
00:27:36,670 --> 00:27:39,170
I'll quit while I'm ahead.
617
00:27:43,940 --> 00:27:46,940
- Hey, you okay?
618
00:27:46,950 --> 00:27:49,920
- Yeah, I thought it was Rudnick
on trial, not Yates or me.
619
00:27:49,920 --> 00:27:52,290
- A lot of pressure up there.
620
00:27:52,290 --> 00:27:54,890
- It is.
621
00:27:54,890 --> 00:27:57,230
Also, um...
622
00:27:57,230 --> 00:27:59,860
I'm pregnant.
623
00:27:59,860 --> 00:28:01,960
- Wow.
624
00:28:01,960 --> 00:28:04,730
- Not Nick's.
625
00:28:04,730 --> 00:28:06,760
- Okay.
626
00:28:06,770 --> 00:28:08,770
Thanks for telling me.
627
00:28:08,770 --> 00:28:11,140
- And I know with the squad
being shorthanded,
628
00:28:11,140 --> 00:28:12,640
it's not the best time for me,
629
00:28:12,640 --> 00:28:13,900
but I want to promise you
630
00:28:13,910 --> 00:28:16,610
this is not going to affect
my ability to do my job.
631
00:28:16,610 --> 00:28:19,010
- Actually, it is,
Amanda, you know.
632
00:28:19,010 --> 00:28:20,670
- Yeah, of course,
but I just meant...
633
00:28:20,680 --> 00:28:22,910
- Look, I know you're going
to fight me on this,
634
00:28:22,920 --> 00:28:24,590
but as soon
as the Department hears,
635
00:28:24,590 --> 00:28:26,690
they're going
to put you on restricted duty.
636
00:28:26,690 --> 00:28:30,190
- Can we wait to tell them?
637
00:28:30,190 --> 00:28:33,120
I just want to work
until the last minute.
638
00:28:33,130 --> 00:28:36,260
- I know what a hard worker
you are.
639
00:28:36,260 --> 00:28:39,760
It's a really good thing,
'cause...
640
00:28:39,770 --> 00:28:42,970
because being a single mom
is, uh...
641
00:28:42,970 --> 00:28:45,730
it's not easy.
642
00:28:45,740 --> 00:28:47,230
- Well, I may not be on my own.
643
00:28:47,240 --> 00:28:50,300
My mom might actually
move up to New York.
644
00:28:50,310 --> 00:28:51,910
- Good, good.
645
00:28:51,910 --> 00:28:53,570
- Yeah.
646
00:28:53,580 --> 00:28:57,980
- Well, I want you to know
I'm... I'm really happy for you.
647
00:28:57,990 --> 00:29:00,290
And, you know, if you want
648
00:29:00,290 --> 00:29:05,030
or need to talk
about anything...
649
00:29:05,030 --> 00:29:06,760
I'm here.
650
00:29:08,200 --> 00:29:09,930
- Okay.
651
00:29:19,370 --> 00:29:20,570
She bled out.
652
00:29:20,580 --> 00:29:22,010
- Yet you were unable
to determine
653
00:29:22,010 --> 00:29:23,950
where the initial wound
was made, Dr. Warner?
654
00:29:23,950 --> 00:29:24,950
- Correct.
655
00:29:24,950 --> 00:29:26,450
I believe it was in the piece
656
00:29:26,450 --> 00:29:29,520
of Susie Frain's thigh
that remains missing.
657
00:29:29,520 --> 00:29:31,290
- What made you come
to that conclusion?
658
00:29:31,290 --> 00:29:34,120
- The lack of blood
in her other body parts.
659
00:29:34,120 --> 00:29:36,420
- And how many
different body parts
660
00:29:36,420 --> 00:29:37,920
were you able to examine?
661
00:29:37,930 --> 00:29:38,930
- Objection.
662
00:29:38,930 --> 00:29:40,500
The prosecution keeps trying
663
00:29:40,500 --> 00:29:43,530
to poison this jury with what
happened to the victim's body.
664
00:29:43,530 --> 00:29:47,230
- Overruled. But let's
move it along, Mr. Barba.
665
00:29:47,240 --> 00:29:50,040
- Despite being unable
to locate the initial wound,
666
00:29:50,040 --> 00:29:51,540
what did you list
as manner of death?
667
00:29:51,540 --> 00:29:52,870
- Homicide.
668
00:29:52,870 --> 00:29:55,700
No one ends up cut
into pieces like this
669
00:29:55,710 --> 00:29:58,410
after an accidental
or natural death.
670
00:29:58,410 --> 00:30:00,740
- Nothing further.
671
00:30:00,750 --> 00:30:03,080
- Dr. Warner...
672
00:30:03,080 --> 00:30:06,810
both Ms. Frain's
and my client's blood
673
00:30:06,820 --> 00:30:09,680
were found
in Ms. Frain's house.
674
00:30:09,690 --> 00:30:12,190
Isn't that right?
- Yes.
675
00:30:12,190 --> 00:30:15,360
- Defense exhibit 13.
676
00:30:15,360 --> 00:30:19,690
My client had defensive wounds
on his hand and forearms
677
00:30:19,700 --> 00:30:21,530
when you examined him.
678
00:30:21,540 --> 00:30:23,240
- Yes, he did.
679
00:30:23,240 --> 00:30:25,810
However, I can't tell you
how he sustained those injuries.
680
00:30:25,810 --> 00:30:28,310
- Just like you can't tell us
how Ms. Frain
681
00:30:28,310 --> 00:30:29,980
sustained her fatal injury.
682
00:30:29,980 --> 00:30:32,580
- Dr. Rudnick walked
out of that house.
683
00:30:32,580 --> 00:30:34,540
Susie Frain did not.
684
00:30:34,550 --> 00:30:37,920
- And yet your own autopsy can't
determine how she was killed.
685
00:30:39,350 --> 00:30:43,880
Dr. Rudnick was hired as
your supervisor two years ago.
686
00:30:44,960 --> 00:30:46,530
Did you apply for that position?
687
00:30:46,530 --> 00:30:48,800
- Yes, but that's not...
- Withdrawn.
688
00:30:48,800 --> 00:30:51,330
Nothing further.
689
00:30:51,330 --> 00:30:53,730
- Redirect, Your Honor.
690
00:30:53,740 --> 00:30:56,470
In your opinion,
could Dr. Rudnick's wounds
691
00:30:56,470 --> 00:30:59,170
have been self-inflicted
after he killed Ms. Frain?
692
00:30:59,170 --> 00:31:01,000
- Yes, absolutely.
693
00:31:01,010 --> 00:31:04,380
- Thank you.
Prosecution rests.
694
00:31:04,380 --> 00:31:07,780
- The defense
calls Dr. Carl Rudnick.
695
00:31:15,020 --> 00:31:18,450
Dr. Rudnick, tell the jury
in your own words
696
00:31:18,460 --> 00:31:21,965
what happened the night you went
to Ms. Frain's apartment.
697
00:31:21,966 --> 00:31:24,460
- She attacked me
with a kitchen knife.
698
00:31:24,470 --> 00:31:26,170
There was a struggle.
699
00:31:26,170 --> 00:31:30,140
I killed her accidently
in self-defense.
700
00:31:33,740 --> 00:31:36,370
Dr. Yates
had brainwashed Susie
701
00:31:36,380 --> 00:31:38,580
into believing
I'd been setting him up.
702
00:31:38,580 --> 00:31:41,990
She accused me of tampering with
the autopsies of his victims,
703
00:31:41,990 --> 00:31:44,010
which is patently absurd.
704
00:31:44,020 --> 00:31:46,860
He'd operated
in several disparate states.
705
00:31:46,860 --> 00:31:49,060
And I made the impertinent
mistake of laughing.
706
00:31:49,060 --> 00:31:51,060
- And what did she do?
707
00:31:51,060 --> 00:31:52,860
- She grabbed a knife
and attacked me.
708
00:31:52,860 --> 00:31:57,390
I defended myself, resulting in
these cuts on my hand and arms.
709
00:31:57,400 --> 00:31:58,900
- Could you step down
710
00:31:58,900 --> 00:32:03,040
and demonstrate how you received
those wounds, Dr. Rudnick?
711
00:32:03,040 --> 00:32:04,270
- Objection. Prejudicial.
712
00:32:04,270 --> 00:32:06,130
- What?
How will the jury know
713
00:32:06,140 --> 00:32:08,370
what really happened
if I can't demonstrate?
714
00:32:08,380 --> 00:32:09,950
- Your Honor,
I think a demonstration
715
00:32:09,950 --> 00:32:11,410
could be informative.
716
00:32:11,410 --> 00:32:13,140
- I'll allow it,
but don't milk it.
717
00:32:36,740 --> 00:32:38,370
- Is this how she held it?
718
00:32:38,370 --> 00:32:40,400
- Yes. She pulled the knife
from the butcher block
719
00:32:40,410 --> 00:32:41,580
and swung it down at me.
720
00:32:41,580 --> 00:32:43,240
- Like this?
721
00:32:43,240 --> 00:32:45,410
- Yes, I fended her off
for a moment.
722
00:32:45,410 --> 00:32:46,910
- But she kept coming.
723
00:32:46,920 --> 00:32:49,920
- Unfortunately, I pushed
her wrist on the downward swing.
724
00:32:49,920 --> 00:32:53,420
She put her body weight
into the thrust,
725
00:32:53,420 --> 00:32:56,220
and momentum drove the knife
726
00:32:56,220 --> 00:32:58,720
into her left thigh.
727
00:32:58,730 --> 00:33:02,300
[breathing shakily]
728
00:33:02,300 --> 00:33:04,870
- Doctor...
729
00:33:04,870 --> 00:33:07,600
do you need a moment?
730
00:33:07,600 --> 00:33:09,300
- No.
731
00:33:09,300 --> 00:33:11,470
I'm fine.
732
00:33:11,470 --> 00:33:13,370
Thank you.
733
00:33:14,980 --> 00:33:16,680
Thank you.
734
00:33:21,250 --> 00:33:23,620
[sighs]
735
00:33:23,620 --> 00:33:26,150
- What happened next?
736
00:33:26,150 --> 00:33:27,510
- Well, when I saw the blood,
737
00:33:27,520 --> 00:33:29,950
I knew it had hit
the femoral artery.
738
00:33:29,960 --> 00:33:32,760
I was in shock, uh, bleeding.
739
00:33:32,760 --> 00:33:35,890
I momentarily lost
consciousness,
740
00:33:35,900 --> 00:33:38,800
and when I came to,
it was too late to save her.
741
00:33:38,800 --> 00:33:40,870
- And then what happened?
742
00:33:40,870 --> 00:33:42,040
- I stitched my cuts,
743
00:33:42,040 --> 00:33:44,040
because I was afraid
to go to the hospital.
744
00:33:44,040 --> 00:33:45,610
- Why was that?
745
00:33:45,610 --> 00:33:48,210
- I felt if I went in bleeding,
746
00:33:48,210 --> 00:33:50,210
no one would believe
a word I had to say.
747
00:33:50,210 --> 00:33:53,510
- How would you describe
your state of mind?
748
00:33:53,520 --> 00:33:55,320
- I was panicking.
749
00:33:55,320 --> 00:33:57,190
That's why I tried to get rid
of Susie's body.
750
00:33:57,190 --> 00:33:58,890
I'm not proud of that,
751
00:33:58,890 --> 00:34:02,125
but by then, I felt the whole
system had turned against me.
752
00:34:02,126 --> 00:34:04,950
It was fight or flight,
and I chose to flee.
753
00:34:04,960 --> 00:34:08,930
- And when you fled, you
disguised yourself as a woman.
754
00:34:08,930 --> 00:34:10,770
- Everyone was looking
for Carl Rudnick.
755
00:34:10,770 --> 00:34:12,970
No one was looking for Carla.
756
00:34:12,970 --> 00:34:15,670
It seemed to be a good idea
at the time.
757
00:34:15,670 --> 00:34:19,070
- Thank you, Doctor.
758
00:34:19,070 --> 00:34:20,900
- Mr. Barba.
759
00:34:20,910 --> 00:34:23,280
- Dr. Rudnick, are you the
Deputy Chief Medical Examiner
760
00:34:23,280 --> 00:34:24,580
for Manhattan?
761
00:34:24,580 --> 00:34:27,720
- I was.
I believe I'm on leave now.
762
00:34:27,720 --> 00:34:29,850
- As such, you would know
exactly how to mimic
763
00:34:29,850 --> 00:34:31,850
defensive wounds, wouldn't you?
764
00:34:31,850 --> 00:34:33,080
- Are you implying that...
765
00:34:33,090 --> 00:34:36,220
- Yes or no.
- Yes.
766
00:34:36,220 --> 00:34:40,590
- And you would know how
to cut up and dispose of a body.
767
00:34:40,600 --> 00:34:42,565
- An unfortunate area
of expertise
768
00:34:42,566 --> 00:34:45,160
for someone accused of murder,
but it is mine.
769
00:34:45,170 --> 00:34:46,735
- Did you use
a reciprocating saw
770
00:34:46,736 --> 00:34:48,230
and bolt cutter to do so?
771
00:34:48,240 --> 00:34:51,240
People's Exhibit 52...
772
00:34:51,240 --> 00:34:54,610
A receipt for a saw
and bolt cutter...
773
00:34:56,880 --> 00:34:59,080
From Home Depot...
774
00:34:59,080 --> 00:35:03,950
paid with Carl Rudnick's
American Express card at 11:50
775
00:35:03,950 --> 00:35:07,280
on the night Susie Frain
was murdered.
776
00:35:07,290 --> 00:35:08,760
- Yes, luckily, I was
able to make it there
777
00:35:08,760 --> 00:35:10,630
before closing time.
- Ha.
778
00:35:10,630 --> 00:35:12,930
As you said, you knew
exactly what you were doing,
779
00:35:12,930 --> 00:35:14,900
so it is no accident
that the one part
780
00:35:14,900 --> 00:35:16,600
of Susie Frain's body,
781
00:35:16,600 --> 00:35:19,900
the piece that could confirm
or refute your story,
782
00:35:19,900 --> 00:35:22,860
her left thigh,
is the part that's missing.
783
00:35:22,870 --> 00:35:24,900
- Well, you're not suggesting
I can control the vagaries
784
00:35:24,910 --> 00:35:26,840
of the tides, are you?
785
00:35:26,840 --> 00:35:29,940
It is my most fervent wish
that Susie's limb be found,
786
00:35:29,940 --> 00:35:31,910
because it would prove
what I'm saying.
787
00:35:31,910 --> 00:35:34,010
I mean, the angle
of the blade's entry
788
00:35:34,020 --> 00:35:36,090
would show her wound
was self-inflicted.
789
00:35:36,090 --> 00:35:37,310
- Self-inflicted?
790
00:35:37,320 --> 00:35:38,620
Did she dismember herself too?
791
00:35:38,620 --> 00:35:41,720
- No, obviously I did that.
792
00:35:41,720 --> 00:35:44,950
I didn't know of any other way
to get her out of there.
793
00:35:49,100 --> 00:35:50,530
- That was brutal.
794
00:35:50,530 --> 00:35:52,230
- You got some good shots in
towards the end of your cross.
795
00:35:52,230 --> 00:35:55,560
- Did I? Two hours...
Every time I lunged, he parried.
796
00:35:55,570 --> 00:35:57,310
The longer he was up there,
the more the jury liked him.
797
00:35:57,310 --> 00:35:58,610
- How is that possible?
798
00:35:58,610 --> 00:36:00,110
- I don't know...
I mean, he's peculiar,
799
00:36:00,110 --> 00:36:01,610
but there's something
interesting about him.
800
00:36:01,610 --> 00:36:02,980
It's weird,
but at the end of our road trip,
801
00:36:02,980 --> 00:36:04,550
I kind of missed the guy.
- You kind of miss...
802
00:36:04,550 --> 00:36:05,810
You missed him?
- Yeah.
803
00:36:05,810 --> 00:36:07,040
- I thought you two
talked too much.
804
00:36:07,050 --> 00:36:08,580
- Yeah, he does talk.
805
00:36:08,580 --> 00:36:10,210
I mean,
he went into the bathroom.
806
00:36:10,220 --> 00:36:11,890
He was alone in the stall.
He thought nobody was listening,
807
00:36:11,890 --> 00:36:13,560
and he kept
the conversation going alone.
808
00:36:13,560 --> 00:36:15,030
- You know what? He talks
during his autopsies too.
809
00:36:15,030 --> 00:36:16,220
He records everything.
810
00:36:16,220 --> 00:36:17,580
I don't know...
We might go through them,
811
00:36:17,590 --> 00:36:19,820
see if he let something slip.
812
00:36:19,830 --> 00:36:21,500
They're city property,
public records.
813
00:36:21,500 --> 00:36:25,400
- It's worth a shot.
Make a night of it, Rollins?
814
00:36:25,400 --> 00:36:30,100
- Caucasian female,
late 20s, red hair.
815
00:36:30,100 --> 00:36:33,700
Like so many redheads,
less susceptible to anesthesia.
816
00:36:35,580 --> 00:36:39,580
She felt everything
that was being done to her.
817
00:36:39,580 --> 00:36:41,240
- I found out
why he likes redheads.
818
00:36:41,250 --> 00:36:42,920
That's all I got.
- Shh.
819
00:36:46,050 --> 00:36:48,220
I think I got something.
820
00:36:48,220 --> 00:36:49,520
- From an autopsy?
821
00:36:49,520 --> 00:36:52,450
- No, video,
and it's not from the morgue.
822
00:37:07,240 --> 00:37:09,570
I'm contacting my lawyer.
823
00:37:09,580 --> 00:37:11,280
I'd like to exercise that right.
824
00:37:11,280 --> 00:37:12,480
- Feel free.
825
00:37:12,480 --> 00:37:15,190
We will wait to continue
questioning you
826
00:37:15,190 --> 00:37:17,280
until a lawyer arrives.
827
00:37:19,720 --> 00:37:23,420
[footsteps departing,
door closes]
828
00:37:23,420 --> 00:37:26,420
- They can't pin these on you.
829
00:37:28,860 --> 00:37:31,420
Rachel was a crack whore.
830
00:37:33,200 --> 00:37:36,040
And with the green nail polish
831
00:37:36,040 --> 00:37:39,110
and the proximity
to Yates' victims...
832
00:37:40,710 --> 00:37:42,780
That's far too much
reasonable doubt.
833
00:37:42,780 --> 00:37:45,010
And Lena,
834
00:37:45,010 --> 00:37:47,840
nobody will buy Yates' word.
835
00:37:47,850 --> 00:37:50,350
And my only risk there is Susie.
836
00:37:50,350 --> 00:37:51,680
She's dumb as a post,
837
00:37:51,690 --> 00:37:54,860
but she still can put
two and two together.
838
00:37:54,860 --> 00:37:57,090
And if she does...
839
00:37:58,860 --> 00:38:02,930
I suppose
I'll have to kill her...
840
00:38:02,930 --> 00:38:04,600
just like the others.
841
00:38:08,300 --> 00:38:10,660
[sighs]
Kill them all, Carl...
842
00:38:13,270 --> 00:38:15,900
Whatever it takes.
843
00:38:15,910 --> 00:38:17,880
[door opens]
844
00:38:17,880 --> 00:38:20,420
Rita, it's very good of you
to come on such short notice.
845
00:38:20,420 --> 00:38:24,290
- Of course, Carl, but I'm
afraid I have some bad news.
846
00:38:24,290 --> 00:38:27,490
- This is clearly inadmissible,
Your Honor.
847
00:38:27,490 --> 00:38:30,090
- I understand
why you'd like to think that.
848
00:38:30,090 --> 00:38:33,590
Walk me through the provenance
and chain of evidence.
849
00:38:33,590 --> 00:38:35,420
How did this fall
into your hands?
850
00:38:35,430 --> 00:38:37,270
- We asked Dr. Rudnick
to come in for an interview,
851
00:38:37,270 --> 00:38:39,200
and he gave us permission
to record it.
852
00:38:39,200 --> 00:38:41,140
- Your Honor, Dr. Rudnick
had asked for counsel.
853
00:38:41,140 --> 00:38:42,610
- And when he did,
we immediately stopped
854
00:38:42,600 --> 00:38:43,830
questioning him
and left the room.
855
00:38:43,840 --> 00:38:44,940
- Yes, but you
left the camera on.
856
00:38:44,940 --> 00:38:47,340
- He knew that he was
being recorded.
857
00:38:47,340 --> 00:38:48,770
We weren't interrogating him.
858
00:38:48,780 --> 00:38:50,910
This was
a spontaneous admission.
859
00:38:50,910 --> 00:38:52,110
Your client talks to himself.
860
00:38:52,110 --> 00:38:54,740
- Not only is this inadmissible
under Miranda,
861
00:38:54,750 --> 00:38:56,550
but it's also Brady material
862
00:38:56,550 --> 00:38:58,110
that should have been
made available to us.
863
00:38:58,120 --> 00:38:59,420
- It was.
A copy of this video
864
00:38:59,420 --> 00:39:01,590
has been in your possession
since day one.
865
00:39:01,590 --> 00:39:03,590
You must have stopped watching
when we stopped questioning.
866
00:39:03,590 --> 00:39:04,680
- He's right, Mr. Buchanan.
867
00:39:04,690 --> 00:39:06,650
If you turned this off,
it's on you.
868
00:39:06,660 --> 00:39:07,890
This is admissible.
869
00:39:07,900 --> 00:39:09,600
- I was simply thinking
out loud.
870
00:39:09,600 --> 00:39:10,700
- Carl.
871
00:39:10,700 --> 00:39:13,770
- We'll let the jury
determine that.
872
00:39:13,770 --> 00:39:16,440
- You had the recording
for the entirety of my ordeal,
873
00:39:16,440 --> 00:39:20,110
and you didn't know it?
- Carl.
874
00:39:20,110 --> 00:39:22,110
- Your Honor, I immediately move
for new counsel
875
00:39:22,110 --> 00:39:24,180
on the basis
of incompetent defense.
876
00:39:24,180 --> 00:39:25,580
- [chuckles] That's your right.
877
00:39:25,580 --> 00:39:27,080
I should caution you, though...
878
00:39:27,080 --> 00:39:30,140
This material is admissible
no matter who defends you.
879
00:39:36,420 --> 00:39:40,590
Dr. Rudnick, I understand
you'd like to change your plea.
880
00:39:40,600 --> 00:39:42,260
- Yes, Your Honor.
881
00:39:42,260 --> 00:39:46,260
- On the charge of murder in
the first degree of Susie Frain,
882
00:39:46,270 --> 00:39:47,570
how do you plead?
883
00:39:47,570 --> 00:39:49,770
- Guilty as charged.
884
00:39:49,770 --> 00:39:51,160
[audience murmuring]
885
00:39:51,170 --> 00:39:52,430
- And to the outstanding charge
886
00:39:52,440 --> 00:39:56,910
of murder in the first degree
of Rachel Groves?
887
00:39:56,910 --> 00:39:59,510
- I'm afraid
I'm guilty on that one as well.
888
00:39:59,510 --> 00:40:02,240
- Your Honor, at this time,
889
00:40:02,250 --> 00:40:04,590
the prosecution would like
to withdraw its charge
890
00:40:04,590 --> 00:40:06,920
of murder in the first degree
of Lena Grunwald.
891
00:40:06,920 --> 00:40:08,920
- All right, Counselors,
thank you for your time.
892
00:40:08,920 --> 00:40:10,520
And now that justice
has been served,
893
00:40:10,530 --> 00:40:12,230
I declare this court adjourned.
894
00:40:12,230 --> 00:40:14,560
[gavel bangs]
895
00:40:18,600 --> 00:40:22,040
- Wait. He gets away
with Lena's murder.
896
00:40:22,040 --> 00:40:23,540
- Well, he'll still do
25 to life
897
00:40:23,540 --> 00:40:25,210
for the other two charges.
898
00:40:25,210 --> 00:40:27,510
Maybe you two will be
roommates one day.
899
00:40:27,510 --> 00:40:29,040
[chuckles]
900
00:40:29,040 --> 00:40:31,340
- He did it, you know.
901
00:40:31,350 --> 00:40:34,820
Lena... he strangled her
to death.
902
00:40:36,020 --> 00:40:38,120
- Her skull was also fractured.
903
00:40:39,690 --> 00:40:42,520
- Strangulation
was the cause of death.
904
00:40:42,520 --> 00:40:44,820
Skull fracture
was post-mortem.
905
00:40:46,690 --> 00:40:49,190
- You sound pretty sure
about that.
906
00:40:49,200 --> 00:40:51,870
- I'm just piecing it together,
907
00:40:51,870 --> 00:40:54,200
but if I had to guess...
908
00:40:54,200 --> 00:40:56,700
Lena was his first time.
909
00:40:56,700 --> 00:40:58,870
Carl screwed up,
910
00:40:58,870 --> 00:41:01,200
and he had to call someone
with more experience
911
00:41:01,210 --> 00:41:04,710
to help him finish.
912
00:41:06,080 --> 00:41:09,050
- And how did this person help?
913
00:41:09,050 --> 00:41:11,350
- He probably advised Carl
914
00:41:11,350 --> 00:41:14,350
to keep Lena alive
915
00:41:14,360 --> 00:41:16,860
as long as possible.
916
00:41:16,860 --> 00:41:21,260
Such a waste
to have her die so quickly.
917
00:41:30,200 --> 00:41:34,400
- Why are you telling
me this now?
918
00:41:34,410 --> 00:41:38,180
- Because I believe
when one life ends,
919
00:41:38,180 --> 00:41:39,780
another begins.
920
00:41:39,780 --> 00:41:42,850
You are bringing life
into this world
921
00:41:42,850 --> 00:41:46,420
just as I lost my wife
and my child.
922
00:41:47,850 --> 00:41:50,020
I feel a connection to you.
923
00:41:52,690 --> 00:41:54,190
You'll be back.
924
00:41:54,200 --> 00:41:57,770
And I will be here.
925
00:42:36,800 --> 00:42:39,870
