There was just this weird dynamic. Between who?
Greg and Julieand Greg's brother, Rick. It's easy to confuse them, them being twins.
NYPD just found Julie Cochran's body.
Greg, how did you and Julie meet? At the shelter.
Love at first sight? For me.
The body? Ann Mathis.
She's a homeless woman from Canal Street Community Center.
I've been cross-referencing Rick's travel records
against unsolved female homicides and disappearances and I found six.
And get this, they were all homeless.
When we were 12, there was this girl Patricia Payton. I killed her.
They have the same DNA. 50% doubt is more than reasonable in any court.
Rick made sure Greg was everywhere he was. He makes the perfect alibi.
You killed Julie and you made it look like Greg did it.
I know he's your brother, but he's a monster. No.
He killed your girlfriend. He didn't.
Let's go, Greg. Wait. I wanna talk to my brother.
Jack, listen to me. He didn't kill anyone, okay?
Not Julie, not that girl when they were younger.
We cannot let Greg take the fall for this. Do something!
There's nothing we can do.
Hey, Roy.
Hey. Happy Thanksgiving.
Here you go. Happy Thanksgiving.
That smells all right.
Nothing better than Ethel's sweet potato pie, though.
Thank you, Ned.
You got it.
Hi.
Hi, Molly.
Can we talk?
Uh, I don't think so. I love you.
Listen, do you want some turkey or not?
MOLLY: Please? I need you to believe me.
I told you. Why are you...
Either give me your plate or step aside. There are other people here besides you.
Hey, Ned. Hi ya, Vinnie. Happy Thanksgiving.
Molly's been staying at the shelter almost two years.
Never missed a night.
Never missed a meal until Friday morning.
Come on, guys. Let's move it.
Up and out.
Now it's four days and everybody here is really unnerved.
Come on, Roy, you know the rules. Up and out.
I mean, we were just moving past Julie and Ann's murder,
and all of a sudden... I understand, I understand.
That guy work here? Rick Knowles.
He sort of took over for his brother as assistant director.
Full time? No, he still works for
that big pharmaceutical company uptown.
But he's been able to be here quite a bit.
We all think Greg's innocent.
Having Rick here has been a morale boost.
You know, Greg confessed to those murders.
That's not what Rick told us. Yeah.
Agent Fitzgerald. What, did you lose your job? You looking for a place to stay?
That's funny, I like that.
You guys know each other?
Yeah, we sure do.
This is one of the geniuses that put Greg away.
Obviously we got the wrong guy.
Obviously you did.
JACK: Martin?
Can I speak to you for a minute, please?
Peter, can I ask you a few more questions out here?
I'll talk to you in a few, okay?
Mr. Knowles. It's been a long time.
Where you were the night that Molly Petrovich disappeared?
No pleasantries, Jack?
Where were you? I was right here.
Did you see her leave?
It was Thanksgiving. Our busiest night.
What time did you leave? About 9:30.
Where'd you go? Home.
What, to your apartment? Actually, to Greg's apartment.
You live at your brother's apartment now?
I'm looking after it for him until he comes back. Did you stay there all night?
Yes, I did. Can anybody verify that?
I can.
Must be a lonely way to spend the holiday.
Yes, it was, thanks to you.
Have you talked to your brother? All the time.
I'm very concerned about him.
Same as I am about Molly. I'll bet.
If something did happen to her, it'll be on your head. How's that?
You screwed it up last time left the killer on the streets, it's happened again.
We're going to get the right guy this time.
Well, anything I can do to help.
You could confess. So we good here?
I got some people to take care of.
We're great.
I know where to find you.
So how long have you known Molly?
A year and a half. Maybe.
And what was her relationship like with Ned Atkins?
They got clean together.
Heroin, crack?
Heroin.
You know, Peter had mentioned to me that Molly and Ned
had a fight recently.
Any idea what that was about?
Well, she fell off the wagon.
And when was that?
Last week.
And he caught her.
I was there when it all went down.
What are you looking for? My jacket, have you seen it?
No. When did you leave it?
I don't know, I had it earlier.
You're looking for this?
Oh, thanks, Ned.
I found this in the pocket.
That's not mine.
NED: Oh, come on. It's not.
You're such a loser.
You're a disgrace to this whole program!
Get out!
It was pretty frightening, I mean how upset he got.
Right. And how did he seem after she went missing?
He was really shaken by the whole thing.
I don't think anybody's seen him for a couple of days.
The day of the fight, when Molly lost her jacket,
was Rick around then?
I think so.
I'm telling you it's a frame-up.
We're gonna find her floating in the river.
it's gonna look like Ned Atkins did it. What about the other murders?
How's Rick Knowles gonna pawn those off on Atkins?
I don't know, I'm sure he's figured out a way. Come on, Jack.
I need a warrant for Greg's apartment.
We did a thorough search of the apartment, the judge is not gonna let you back there.
What about Rick's place of business?
Not without probable cause, which you don't have.
If you'd have let me go after Rick Knowles when I wanted none of this would be happening.
You got a confession out of Greg Knowles five months ago.
I told you that. Since then he has confessed to murdering Ann Mathis
and eight other homeless women. The U.S. Attorney has gone there time and time again,
and they can't find any inconsistencies in Greg's statements.
Now this is an airtight case.
Really? How do you explain Molly Petrovich?
Was it a coincidence she goes missing from the exact same shelter
that Rick Knowles is working at now? Copycat, okay?
Fine.
Alchek. Yeah.
Yeah?
Yeah, thanks, Tom.
Greg Knowles has changed his plea to not guilty.
His lawyer is contesting the confessions.
Not so airtight, huh?
Do I need my lawyer?
No. We just want to ask you a few questions.
Okay.
So we understand you changed your plea.
Yeah. What happened?
I had a lot of time to think.
Wouldn't have anything to do with the fact that your brother visited you yesterday, would it?
We talked about it.
What did he say? Why are you here?
We don't think you murdered any of those women, Greg.
Really?
Really.
Okay.
What did your brother say?
He said the same thing he's been saying for months.
That I should fight.
They had you in that interrogation room for nine hours without a lawyer.
I killed those women, Rick. No, you didn't.
You said so yourself.
The FBI had us turned against each other.
Malone convinced you that I'd raped Julie.
He doctored that coroner's report. She was never raped.
You loved her, Greg.
You never would have hurt her.
What about Tricia?
Oh, come on, man, that was 30 years ago. I loved her.
No, you didn't. Yes, I did.
You were 12 years old, it was a crush.
I loved her.
All right, look...
It doesn't matter.
No one will ever know what happened in that boat house.
And your confession will never hold water,
not the way they got it out of you.
What do you want me to do? You plead not guilty
and I'll have you out of here in a couple of days.
A couple of days?
Trust me.
I need you, Greg.
You can't leave me out here all alone.
You're all I've got.
And he was right.
He's all I've got.
You had Julie.
You had Tricia Payton.
Yeah.
Another woman went missing from the shelter.
Molly Petrovich.
Molly? You know her?
Yeah. Your brother has been spending a lot of time at the shelter.
He volunteers there sometimes.
It's a more than that. He's the assistant director there now.
Isn't that your old job?
What's your point?
I think you know.
No, I don't.
Rick killed those women, not you.
We're done here.
I want you to stick around, see if you can wait him out.
OFFICER: The car's registered to Ned Atkins.
The guy you're looking
Yeah, how long has it been here?
Well, it's got two tickets on it.
First one's written Friday, 3:35 p.m.
So the car's been here at least three days.
Hey.
You might want to look at this.
How old's the corpse?
VIVIAN: The coroner is on his way, my guess is three days, maybe four.
Yeah, that lines up. Where's the car?
About three blocks away from Ned Atkins' apartment.
Where exactly is the car? Is it in front of a fire hydrant, a no
A church.
So he definitely wanted us to find it.
So where is poor Ned? I mean, if Rick's trying to frame him
wouldn't it be better if Ned was around
so we could actually arrest him?
My guess is he got spooked and he ran.
Look, NYPD want to conduct a thorough search of Ned's apartment,
I can't hold them off for much longer,
not with a dead body in the trunk of his car.
I'll be there in ten minutes, tell them to wait, okay?
Okay.
Jack.
The U.S. Attorney's Office is going to love this.
If he sees that, Greg Knowles is walking.
Hey, guys?
We got it. Thanks.
Here's what I want you to do.
I want you to photograph everything in the box, and put it back where you found it.
It's okay, I'll take the heat.
Hey, Malone, look what the cat dragged in.
Hey, Ned, where you been?
I was looking for my girlfriend.
Can you believe this schmuck? I'm going to take him from here.
This is a homicide now. this guy is wanted in five states for eight kidnappings and murders.
He's federal property. I didn't kill anybody.
Shut up, get in the car.
I know you didn't.
She was in the trunk of my car?
Yeah.
Anyone else have a key?
No, but the car was stolen.
That's why I was gone for so long.
Because I was on foot.
I thought maybe she took it.
You still have the keys?
Yeah. Can I see them?
House and car? Yeah.
I can't believe she's dead.
I mean, I just, I can't believe it.
Um, did Rick Knowles ever go to your apartment?
No.
Was he aware of your relationship with Molly?
Well, sure, everyone was.
What about Julie Cochran, how well did you know her?
She was a really nice girl.
Do you remember where you were when she was murdered?
I was probably shooting up somewhere.
How long were you on the needle? About 11 years.
So I don't suppose you could account for where you were
on any particular day during that period?
No, both periods are pretty hazy.
What about the syringe you found in Molly's pocket?
You still have it?
Yeah, it's in my cubby at the shelter.
To be honest, I could really use a fix right now.
We're not going to let that happen.
We'll get you some help, okay?
All right.
So now we're burying evidence?
Listen, we process this and Greg gets out of jail. Greg's innocent.
I know, we need to keep him in jail so Sam can work on him.
If Greg gets out, Rick is not gonna let us talk to him. I don't feel comfortable.
You relax. We need to stall for a day or two while we build our case.
Well stalling for a is also known as evidence tampering
and obstruction of justice.
Excuse me.
MARTIN: This guy Atkins is the perfect fall guy.
He knew Julie, Ann and Molly,
and he had no alibi for all those other murders.
We got to make the connection.
How many chances to prove that Rick had access to Atkins' car and apartment?
My guess is that he had duplicates of these made.
You want me to canvass Greg's neighborhood? That'd be great.
Agent Malone.
To what do I owe the pleasure?
I was just dropping by to talk to your supervisor.
They found a syringe in Molly... what's her name...? Uh...
Petrovich. Petrovich.
They found a syringe in her pocket.
And, uh, your supervisor confirmed that it matches
the kind of syringes you carry in your sample kit.
What can you tell me about that? Molly probably stole it.
I sometimes bring my kit to the shelter if I've been on a sales call.
Why would you bring that to a shelter
where there are drug addicts? You're right.
It was careless of me.
Is that a crime?
Not as far as I know.
So...
I don't think Ned did it.
I can't find a single shred of evidence
to tie him to the other murders.
Really?
Nothing.
Hmm.
That your brother?
Yeah.
Good looking, isn't he?
I can see why you'd think that.
Good night.
Poor Molly.
Yeah.
She was killed the same way as the others.
And Ned has no alibi for any of them.
So it certainly makes it look like you're innocent.
I had this dream.
What was it?
I saw Tricia.
Tricia Peyton?
She was fighting for her life
and she was fighting so hard,
and I felt like I was just a few feet away
and I wanted to help her.
But you couldn't?
No. There were all these mice
just swarming all over her body. It was disgusting.
It was horrible.
When did you have this dream?
On Thanksgiving, that night.
The night Molly was killed?
Have you ever had that dream before?
Mm-hmm.
When?
When Rick and I used to take our trips.
When those other women were killed.
Think about it, Greg.
Think about how connected you two are.
Maybe that's what your dreams are about.
I can't do this, I'm sorry.
Greg?
I'm done.
Make sure he's put on suicide watch.
I just got a call from the 16th precinct.
They found a box of mementos and trophies
in Ned Atkins' apartment.
Pictures of dead women,
including Julie Cochran and Ann Mathis.
Apparently they got an anonymous tip. An anonymous tip?
Yes, and they decided to check it out before referring it to us.
Now, didn't you see it when you were in there?
Yes, I did. And you didn't process the evidence?
Nope. Why not, Jack?
Who do you think called in the anonymous tip?
Are you telling me that Rick planted the box in Atkins' apartment?
We found a locksmith who verifies
that someone was making keys off of Atkins' key chain.
Look, the locksmith can't place Rick . But his store is two blocks away from the shelter.
The shelter? That could be anybody, including Atkins.
Now who else knew about withholding evidence?
No one, just me.
Well, the U.S. Attorney called. They're releasing Greg Knowles
and there's not a damn thing we can do about it.
You better call Sam and let her know what's happening.
Spade.
They're gonna release Greg from prison.
I need you to convince him not to talk to his brother.
Too late.
What are you doing down here?
Dinner.
We're off the case, aren't we?
Nope.
The judge let us bug Greg's apartment.
Well, that's good news.
Yep.
You know, Greg was close to breaking.
I think deep down he knows that Rick is responsible for everything,
he just doesn't want to face it.
And now he's back with his brother. Rick's going to spin him six ways to Sunday.
What are those?
Divorce papers.
Yours?
Rick's.
1996.
According to this, he never had sex with his wife.
Well, we know he's not into women.
Or girls.
That could be it.
What?
That. What?
Girls.
Tricia Payton.
That's where this all started.
That's what we have to do. We have to go back to the beginning.
Your free.
To family.
: Family.
It's good to be home, huh?
I heard what you told Alchek earlier.
I want to catch this psychopath as bad as anyone else.
What happened to my lion fish?
Oh, you know what? Oh, shoot.
Those fish were kind of hard to take care of.
I think I fed them too much and he died last week.
I'm sorry, man.
But you liked living here?
Hey...
it was my only way of staying close to you.
That's not really true, is it?
What do you mean?
I heard you took my job at the shelter.
I know how important that is to you, I wanted to hold down the fort. What's up with you?
The FBI came to see me today.
They did?
What'd they say?
A lot.
Like what?
Hey...
It doesn't matter.
Whatever they said, they don't matter.
This is what matters, okay?
Come here.
You know what?
Let's take a trip.
What kind of trip?
It doesn't matter. Let's just get out of here.
Let's just get away somewhere and relax.
Make up for it, you know?
You deserve to get all this stuff off your mind.
Yeah?
Yeah, that'd be good.
All right.
Come on. Let's eat.
WOMAN: Okay, listen up, everybody!
20 minute break for drinks and snacks,
and it wouldn't hurt to look at your lines.
And when we get back, we're going to start at the top.
Mrs. Payton? Yes?
We're with the FBI.
Oh, what can I do for you?
We were wondering if we could speak to you about your daughter, Tricia.
It was getting dark
and I didn't know where she was,
so I called the police and I told them
she was probably somewhere with Greg.
They were always together.
When they got Greg that night at his house,
he smelled of alcohol.
Then when they found...
when they found Tricia in the boat house,
it turned out she had alcohol in her system, too,
so of course they focused on Greg.
But you don't think he did it?
No, he was a sweet boy. They both were, he and Rick.
Did Rick hang out with Greg and your daughter?
Yeah, Rick followed Greg wherever he went.
Really?
Are you sure about that?
Oh, yeah.
Greg was very popular and...
and athletic and funny and...
All the girls were crazy about him.
But not Rick?
No, he was awkward, really.
He always seemed a little lost whenever Greg wasn't around.
I really never thought Greg did it.
And I can't imagine why he would have confessed, now after all these years.
Yeah, I spoke with the supervisor. Rick doesn't have any trips coming up.
No, they checked his credit cards, there's no reservations anywhere, nothing.
I need you to go over to Greg's apartment.
Danny and Viv are gonna need help in surveillancing.
On my way.
Okay, great. Got anything?
Okay, May 14, 1973,
apparently the sheriff taped Greg's interrogation.
Listen to this.
GREG: I loved Tricia and I would never
do anything to hurt her.
SHERIFF: I know you love her.
Everyone says the two of you are always together.
GREG: I told you 20 times already, I never saw her today.
I swear to God.
I never saw her.
You know, your brother's in the other room,
he said he saw you with Tricia after school. Says you were gonna hang at the boat house.
No, he didn't, he wouldn't say that.
You ought to talk to him and straighten him out.
You're going to let me talk to him? Sure.
We just want to get to the bottom of this.
Hang on a minute.
Looks like we weren't the only ones with this idea.
Mm.
I don't know how much longer I can do this.
You just listen to me.
They don't have anything on you.
And I haven't said anything, okay?
You never
saw her, you hear me?
You never saw her.
No matter how many times they ask,
no matter how many different ways,
don't let them bully you, you hear me?
Yeah, but...
Don't.
Come on, Greg, please.
Okay.
Thank you.
I mean, I don't know what I'd do without you.
What'd you expect me to do?
We're brothers.
I just didn't want to get you in trouble, Mouse.
Don't ever call me that again.
Why, what's the matter?
You heard me. I don't ever want to hear that name again.
Okay, I'm sorry.
The mice from the dream.
From here on in,
it's just you and me, Greg.
You understand me?
We can't trust
anyone else in the world.
Just you and me.
Ten minutes later their lawyer showed up.
Sheriff could never get the boys
back in and they couldn't make a case.
Malone.
Did you wiretap Greg Knowles apartment?
I got a warrant from the judge.
But you didn't mention anything about Ned Atkins
being the prime suspect in this case.
Didn't think it was relevant.
You know what, Jack?
Come home.
You and I need to talk.
Okay.
Don't make another move without consulting me first.
Got it?
Got it.
They're making a move. Making a move.
Malone.
VIVIAN: They're moving. They're going on a trip. Want us to follow?
Pick them up.
Pick them up?
Yeah, bring them in.
Okay.
Drop your bags, keep your hands where we can see them.
Right here.
Thanks, Martin.
Yeah, no problem.
Good luck.
Welcome back.
Are you charging me with anything?
Not decided yet.
Because of your incompetence,
I've been separated from my brother now for five months.
You might not have a life, Jack, but we do.
Yeah, well, I'm really sorry to have inconvenienced you,
made a trip to Connecticut to talk to Tricia Payton's mother.
Really.
And what did Mrs. Payton have to tell you?
Why don't you take a seat?
She told me that you were shy.
That you were not the dominant one,
that you were a wallflower.
Is that right?
She said you lived in Greg's shadow
that girls were more attracted to Greg.
And it just made me wonder, what predicated the switch?
YOUNG RICK: From here on in...
it's just you and me, Greg.
You understand me?
Can't trust anyone else in the world.
Just you... and me.
That was the moment, wasn't it?
When he took control of you.
You were in love with Tricia
and he took her from you.
And when you had another chance at happiness with Julie,
he took her, too.
I don't know.
Rick took this photo of Julie
after he killed her in your apartment
while you were passed out in the other room.
And for a long time, I was trying to figure out
which one of you killed Tricia.
But I've decided it was you.
Me?
That's where you got the taste.
That's why you kept doing it over and over again.
Really?
I read your divorce papers.
According to your wife...
you never had sex with her.
My ex-wife was a liar.
Really?
You signed the papers, you didn't dispute it.
What does this have to do with your persecution of my brother?
I just don't think that you like women.
I like women fine, Jack.
Mm.
But I think you like your brother more.
Why don't you just admit it?
Since 12, you've been spanking it in the bathroom
you've been thinking about Greg. That's enough.
And every time you looked in the mirror, you saw his face... I said that's enough.
...which made you hate yourself, but it made you hate him more.
: Remember when you told me
about your dream
Yeah.
When you were kids,
didn't you call Rick "Mouse"?
Yeah, he hated that name.
Of course he did.
Because you were strong and full of life,
and he was just a scared little boy.
Maybe.
So maybe, when you're seeing the mice
crawling all over Tricia...
it's actually Rick.
It's possible,
isn't it...
...Greg?
I used to see things.
What kind of things?
In the hotel room where we'd stay on our trips.
Necklaces and...
bracelets.
He was keeping their jewelry...
as trophies.
Mr. Alchek!
Time to release my other client now.
Okay.
Let's go home.
Spade.
Were you aware that Jack was defying my order?
Yes, sir, I was and I'm sorry.
What is it with you people?
If Malone told you to jump off a building, would you do it?
Probably, sir, yes.
Maybe Rick didn't give up all his trophies.
We're going to need your help getting a search warrant.
Yeah, right.
What do we got here?
Step back into the room and take a seat.
Back into the room and take a seat!
Okay, I am. I am. Right there. Sit down.
Sit down!
What the hell happened?
We had a fight.
You were right.
It was terrible.
Rick just ran out and left, I don't know where he went.
What was the fight about?
I told him I knew everything.
All of it.
What he did, everything.
You were right, Sam.
After all these years.
I know! I know what you did!
You're taking that bitch's word over mine?
It has nothing to do with her! I saw it! I saw it all!
What
Why? Why would you do this to me
Greg, listen to me. I would lay down my life for you
but this is in your head, okay, man? You are sick. You need help. You need serious help.
I should kill you!
How can you say that to me?
I love you!
You love me?
Everything I've ever done has been for you!
And then, finally, he stopped
and he got up and he ran out and...
...he said I'd never see him again.
I'll do whatever you guys want me to.
I mean, I'll testify against him.
Anything.
I just want to put this behind me.
SAMANTHA: We're need to take you downtown, take your statement, all right?
Yeah, of course.
Hey, Mouse.
Keep him covered.
Is he alive?
Yeah, send an ambulance to 411 Elizabeth Street.
Is he alive?
Yeah, he's alive.
Hopefully, I'll still have a job in the morning.
I'm sure you'll be fine.
What'd you say to Alchek, anyway?
Nothing he didn't know already.
If I didn't have hours of paperwork, I'd buy you a drink.
You should probably buy everybody a drink.
Probably should.
YOUNG RICK: From here on in...
it's just you and me, Greg.
You understand me?
Can't trust anyone else in the world.
Just you... and me.
