1. In the criminal justice system,
Copy !req
2. sexually based offenses
Copy !req
3. are considered especially heinous.
Copy !req
4. In New York City,
the dedicated detectives
Copy !req
5. who investigate these vicious felonies
Copy !req
6. are members of an elite squad
Copy !req
7. known as the Special Victims Unit.
Copy !req
8. These are their stories.
Copy !req
9. That's right, an eye
on the ball, right?
Copy !req
10. - Eye on the ball.
- Nice and easy, okay?
Copy !req
11. Nice and easy.
Copy !req
12. - Oh, you ripped it!
- Oh!
Copy !req
13. Oh, he ripped it! Go, go!
Copy !req
14. - Nice hit!
- Oh, my goodness!
Copy !req
15. - Nice hit!
- You got a good kid there.
Copy !req
16. You should see him
at dinnertime or bedtime
Copy !req
17. - or homework time.
- Whoo-hoo, all right!
Copy !req
18. Well, all kids go through phases.
Copy !req
19. I'm told.
Copy !req
20. Well, whatever he's
going through right now,
Copy !req
21. I gotta tell you, I'm a little over it.
Copy !req
22. Maybe he just...
Copy !req
23. needs some masculine energy.
Copy !req
24. - Hey!
- Home run!
Copy !req
25. - Thanks, Coach!
- Boom!
Copy !req
26. - You wanna do it again?
- Yeah, let's do it.
Copy !req
27. All right, good job. Let's go.
Copy !req
28. Okay.
Copy !req
29. All right, line up there.
Copy !req
30. Same again, nice and easy.
Copy !req
31. Thank you.
Copy !req
32. Mm.
Copy !req
33. Home sweet home.
Copy !req
34. - Mm-hmm.
- Thanks for coming with.
Copy !req
35. I know my father was happy to see you.
Copy !req
36. I love my old man-in-law.
Copy !req
37. He's a lot more fun on New Year's Eve
Copy !req
38. than my father ever was.
Copy !req
39. That's the third time this month.
Copy !req
40. I'll call the super.
Copy !req
41. It's just... it's so thoughtless.
Copy !req
42. I'll call first thing in the morning.
Copy !req
43. Ugh.
Copy !req
44. Come on. Let's make this quick.
Copy !req
45. Come on.
Copy !req
46. Okay, come on.
Copy !req
47. Hey, Gavin?
Copy !req
48. We're out of shampoo.
Copy !req
49. I can't find my hairbrush.
Copy !req
50. No!
Copy !req
51. No! Gavin!
Copy !req
52. No, no!
Copy !req
53. Get off of me!
Copy !req
54. Gavin!
Copy !req
55. Gavin!
Copy !req
56. No!
Copy !req
57. Please!
Copy !req
58. No, no, please!
Copy !req
59. Please stop!
Copy !req
60. I screamed,
Copy !req
61. and I-I tried to run,
Copy !req
62. but he, um, threw me on the bed
Copy !req
63. and he tied me up, and he, um...
Copy !req
64. he r-raped me.
Copy !req
65. I'm so, so, so, so sorry,
Copy !req
66. and we're gonna get you
to the hospital.
Copy !req
67. I just knew something terrible
Copy !req
68. was gonna happen tonight,
I just knew it.
Copy !req
69. Okay, you said that he wore a ski mask.
Copy !req
70. Do you remember
anything else about his...
Copy !req
71. about his height or his build?
Copy !req
72. He... he was average.
Copy !req
73. I-I think he... I think he was white.
Copy !req
74. Okay, and is there anything
else that you remember?
Copy !req
75. Anything that he said, anything at all?
Copy !req
76. Um, he... he told me
Copy !req
77. to be quiet.
Copy !req
78. He said that if I... I screamed again,
Copy !req
79. that he would... he would kill Gavin!
Copy !req
80. Okay, let's get you
to the hospital, okay?
Copy !req
81. Okay, come on.
Copy !req
82. - You're gonna be okay.
- I was at the kitchen sink.
Copy !req
83. Felt a knife at the back of my neck.
Copy !req
84. Any idea how he got in?
Copy !req
85. We... we just got home
from the holidays.
Copy !req
86. The building door was propped open.
Copy !req
87. I-I thought there was something off
Copy !req
88. about our doorknob.
Copy !req
89. Okay, you didn't see his face.
Copy !req
90. Anything about his voice?
Copy !req
91. It was... was low.
Copy !req
92. Creepy.
Copy !req
93. He said to lay on the floor.
Copy !req
94. Tied me up.
Copy !req
95. Stacked plates on my back.
Copy !req
96. He said if I moved he'd hear
Copy !req
97. and April was dead.
Copy !req
98. Okay.
Copy !req
99. Fin.
Copy !req
100. So April Baker says
Copy !req
101. the attack happened around midnight.
Copy !req
102. She managed to free herself...
Copy !req
103. untie herself three hours later.
Copy !req
104. Husband says son of a bitch
stacked plates on his back.
Copy !req
105. So while he's raping her,
Copy !req
106. he can hear if the husband moved.
Copy !req
107. Exactly.
Copy !req
108. Let's get inside.
Copy !req
109. So whoever did this
disassembled the door latch
Copy !req
110. then jerry-rigged it back together
Copy !req
111. so that nobody would notice.
Copy !req
112. The perp staked out the place
when they were out of town?
Copy !req
113. We're looking at a pro.
Copy !req
114. Maybe worse.
Copy !req
115. Is this for real?
Copy !req
116. Surveilling the apartment,
Copy !req
117. breaking the door lock,
stacking plates.
Copy !req
118. I didn't want to believe it either.
Copy !req
119. How long has it been?
Copy !req
120. Twenty-five years.
Copy !req
121. The Infinity Rapist.
Copy !req
122. So Infinity's last rape
was January 2, 1994.
Copy !req
123. I was a rookie in the five-five.
Copy !req
124. Everyone in the five Boroughs
knew about that case.
Copy !req
125. Uh, not so much in Georgia.
How many rapes was he good for?
Copy !req
126. Twenty-two, in Manhattan
and Brooklyn from '81 to '94.
Copy !req
127. This guy targeted couples.
Copy !req
128. He'd case out the place,
jimmy open a door or window.
Copy !req
129. Then he'd lie in wait,
break in a second time.
Copy !req
130. He'd tie up the boyfriend or husband,
Copy !req
131. then he'd stack plates on their back
Copy !req
132. and he said if he heard
a rattle, the woman was dead.
Copy !req
133. He took trophies. Small personal items.
Copy !req
134. After the fifth rape,
he started leaving messages.
Copy !req
135. " 5. 0."
Copy !req
136. You, know, if this is him,
Copy !req
137. he's been out of commission
for over two decades,
Copy !req
138. which makes him middle-aged or older.
Copy !req
139. - So do we alert Crime Stoppers?
- Ah, no.
Copy !req
140. Until we know what we're dealing with,
Copy !req
141. One P.P. wants to keep it on the "DL."
Copy !req
142. Okay, no DNA in April's rape kit.
Copy !req
143. CSU found two hairs in the bed
Copy !req
144. but they're not a match to the Bakers
Copy !req
145. and no match in CODIS.
Copy !req
146. Okay, so check that DNA
against old evidence.
Copy !req
147. Have Stone do some digging.
Copy !req
148. Twenty-five years later.
Copy !req
149. Did they get a sense of this guy's age?
Copy !req
150. Uh, no.
Copy !req
151. They said that he, uh...
Copy !req
152. he spoke in a low voice,
he told the wife to keep quiet.
Copy !req
153. They didn't fight back,
Copy !req
154. so there's no sense
of his physicality either.
Copy !req
155. Here you go.
Copy !req
156. "Infinity, '81 to '94."
Copy !req
157. There's over a dozen of them.
Copy !req
158. - I'll get you a dolly.
- All right, thanks, George.
Copy !req
159. This is gonna take forever.
Copy !req
160. Hey, you never told me
your dad was on the case.
Copy !req
161. - What?
- Yeah, "Ben Stone",
Copy !req
162. "District Attorney's Office."
Copy !req
163. "Joint Infinity Task Force."
Copy !req
164. I didn't know.
Copy !req
165. I was in school.
Copy !req
166. We never talked about his cases.
Copy !req
167. "The Infinity Rapist"?
Copy !req
168. You guys think it was him?
Copy !req
169. That's...
Copy !req
170. - Horrifying.
- Well, we...
Copy !req
171. we don't know for sure, but the...
Copy !req
172. the M.O. of the assault
was... was almost exact.
Copy !req
173. So, April, do you remember...
Copy !req
174. seeing anybody watching you
or watching your building?
Copy !req
175. An older man?
Copy !req
176. No.
Copy !req
177. Okay, um...
Copy !req
178. He threatened to kill Gavin.
Copy !req
179. Did he say anything else
that you can remember?
Copy !req
180. Anything at all.
Copy !req
181. He told me to shut up.
Copy !req
182. He put his hand over my mouth
Copy !req
183. like he didn't want me to make a sound.
Copy !req
184. Did anything go missing?
Copy !req
185. No.
Copy !req
186. We had cash in a desk.
My jewelry box was untouched.
Copy !req
187. This would have been
something personal.
Copy !req
188. N-no.
Copy !req
189. Uh, wait.
Copy !req
190. I couldn't find my hairbrush.
Copy !req
191. Does that matter?
Copy !req
192. Uh, it might.
Copy !req
193. It might.
Copy !req
194. I had no idea how haunted
my father was about this case.
Copy !req
195. Yeah, a lot of people
in law enforcement
Copy !req
196. lost sleep over this guy.
Copy !req
197. He was like the Zodiac
or the Son of Sam.
Copy !req
198. These notations
in my father's handwriting?
Copy !req
199. They're dated 2017.
Copy !req
200. That's a year before he died.
Copy !req
201. Yeah.
Copy !req
202. Hey, Carisi, look at this.
Copy !req
203. - Who's this?
- That's me and my father.
Copy !req
204. - How old are you here?
- Uh, seven?
Copy !req
205. How'd that get in the case file?
Copy !req
206. I don't know.
Copy !req
207. Okay, we have unmarked cars
on the Bakers' block, right?
Copy !req
208. - We're monitoring their calls?
- Nothing so far.
Copy !req
209. This guy was
and continues to be a ghost.
Copy !req
210. Nope, not a ghost.
Copy !req
211. A copycat.
Copy !req
212. We've been going over
the old case files.
Copy !req
213. Ben Stone was the lead ADA in the case.
Copy !req
214. I didn't realize that.
Copy !req
215. And whoever attacked the Bakers
Copy !req
216. was definitely not Infinity.
Copy !req
217. The signatures,
the reconnaissance, the plates.
Copy !req
218. That was all in the papers,
plus three books.
Copy !req
219. What wasn't made public
Copy !req
220. and what was consistent
with each victim:
Copy !req
221. He forced them to pretend
they were enjoying the assault.
Copy !req
222. Loudly.
Copy !req
223. For the tied-up husband to hear.
Copy !req
224. And this guy made April keep quiet.
Copy !req
225. The Infinity's got a lot
of fans online.
Copy !req
226. Serial rapist, serial killer
message boards.
Copy !req
227. I mean, believe it or not,
that's a thing.
Copy !req
228. So one of these guys
got bored fantasizing
Copy !req
229. and made it real?
Copy !req
230. Twenty-five years to
the day to the last rape,
Copy !req
231. marking the anniversary.
Copy !req
232. Okay, so I've got Infinity's
Wikipedia page up.
Copy !req
233. Hold up, it was... it was last updated
Copy !req
234. two hours before the Baker assault.
Copy !req
235. Who?
Copy !req
236. Uh, the username is "Reallnfinity23."
Copy !req
237. Have TARU track down the address.
Copy !req
238. His name's Karl Patton.
Copy !req
239. He posts on all
the Infinity message boards
Copy !req
240. and belongs to all
the online fan clubs.
Copy !req
241. This guys is obsessed.
Copy !req
242. You mean "sick freak."
Copy !req
243. NYPD.
Copy !req
244. What?
Copy !req
245. We're looking for Karl Patton.
Copy !req
246. My little brother?
Copy !req
247. Whatever you think he did,
he probably did.
Copy !req
248. Where is he?
Copy !req
249. Karl!
Copy !req
250. Karl!
Copy !req
251. He's probably in his work room.
Copy !req
252. You were right, this guy is obsessed.
Copy !req
253. Looks like we found our copycat.
Copy !req
254. What's this?
Copy !req
255. You Karl Patton?
Copy !req
256. You can call me "Infinity."
Copy !req
257. You're under arrest.
Copy !req
258. I wondered what took you so long.
Copy !req
259. I ain't cuffing this guy.
Copy !req
260. Don't you feel the excitement?
Copy !req
261. Soon the whole world
will know who I am.
Copy !req
262. Cut the crazy.
Copy !req
263. Tell us about this woman.
Copy !req
264. Sweet, sweet April.
Copy !req
265. Just answer the question.
Copy !req
266. She smelled like roses.
Copy !req
267. Fresh out of the shower.
Copy !req
268. Okay, let's...
Copy !req
269. let's start with why
you were in her bedroom.
Copy !req
270. Your side of the story.
Copy !req
271. You're playing with me, right?
Copy !req
272. - Good cop, bad cop?
- Look, the game's over, Karl.
Copy !req
273. And wipe that stupid smirk
off your face.
Copy !req
274. Tell us what you did.
Copy !req
275. I've been waiting
for this moment for 25 years.
Copy !req
276. I want to savor it.
Copy !req
277. I'm done.
Copy !req
278. Wait!
Copy !req
279. I want to confess.
Copy !req
280. We're listening.
Copy !req
281. I stalked April.
Copy !req
282. I raped her.
Copy !req
283. What about her husband?
Copy !req
284. I tied him up,
stacked plates on his back.
Copy !req
285. Told him if I heard
so much as a rattle, game over.
Copy !req
286. That's my signature.
Copy !req
287. Your signature?
Copy !req
288. Of course.
Copy !req
289. But you knew that.
Copy !req
290. This guy laying out
his own insanity defense?
Copy !req
291. He's not doing a bad job.
Copy !req
292. Well, he can't be Infinity.
Copy !req
293. Patton wasn't born until
a year after the first rape.
Copy !req
294. What's his history?
Copy !req
295. He's an unemployed computer programmer.
Copy !req
296. From his social media,
Copy !req
297. he's been obsessed with Infinity
since he was a teenager.
Copy !req
298. And we know he's good
for April and Gavin?
Copy !req
299. He planned it to commemorate
the 25th anniversary
Copy !req
300. of Infinity's last rape.
Copy !req
301. The DNA found on the hairs
from the Bakers' bedroom
Copy !req
302. is a match, and CSU found April's brush
Copy !req
303. in his work room,
Copy !req
304. which was a treasure trove
Copy !req
305. of Infinity's paraphernalia...
Copy !req
306. including this letter,
Copy !req
307. which I had the lab make a copy of.
Copy !req
308. For me?
Copy !req
309. Apparently it's from
the real Infinity...
Copy !req
310. To your father.
Copy !req
311. On one count of rape
in the first degree,
Copy !req
312. one count of assault
in the first degree,
Copy !req
313. one count of kidnapping
in the second...
Copy !req
314. Shouldn't that be 23 counts?
Copy !req
315. Counselor, how does your client plead?
Copy !req
316. Not guilty.
Copy !req
317. - People on bail?
- Remand.
Copy !req
318. This brutal assault was premeditated,
Copy !req
319. an homage to the
real Infinity's last rape
Copy !req
320. down to the date and the time.
Copy !req
321. I am the real Infinity!
Copy !req
322. That's enough, Mr. Patton.
Copy !req
323. Mr. Stone, I'm granting
your request for remand.
Copy !req
324. Your Honor.
Copy !req
325. Peter Stone.
Copy !req
326. Claire Newbury.
Copy !req
327. I interviewed your father years ago.
Copy !req
328. I've written three books on Infinity.
Copy !req
329. Sorry, I never read them.
Copy !req
330. Oh, but you must have been
interested in his cases.
Copy !req
331. Your father's white whale.
Copy !req
332. Look is there something
I can help you with?
Copy !req
333. I'm working on my fourth book.
Copy !req
334. I've already set up
an interview with Mr. Patton.
Copy !req
335. I mean, the psychological,
mental state of that guy
Copy !req
336. has got to be fascinating
in... in its own weird way.
Copy !req
337. Take your word for it.
Copy !req
338. I was also hoping that
I could interview you,
Copy !req
339. what it was like growing up
with a father
Copy !req
340. obsessed with a psychopath
he couldn't bring to justice.
Copy !req
341. Like I said, my father and I
never discussed his cases.
Copy !req
342. I wouldn't have anything to tell you.
Copy !req
343. Well, maybe you'll change your mind.
Copy !req
344. I won't.
Copy !req
345. What's Patton's defense gonna be?
Copy !req
346. The guy confessed. We got forensics.
Copy !req
347. Well, never underestimate
a public defender
Copy !req
348. looking for his moment in the sun.
Copy !req
349. The letter found in Patton's house,
Copy !req
350. was it authenticated?
Copy !req
351. Handwriting analysis matched
those received by the NYPD.
Copy !req
352. Do we know where Patton got it?
Copy !req
353. Criminal memorabilia black market.
Copy !req
354. A dealer bought it from a detective
Copy !req
355. who was working
the Infinity case in the '80s.
Copy !req
356. - Really?
- Mm-hmm.
Copy !req
357. - Wow.
- Thank you.
Copy !req
358. You know, Infinity wrote about me.
Copy !req
359. Look at this.
Copy !req
360. "Your son throws the ball
like he was born for it."
Copy !req
361. June 1988.
Copy !req
362. I would have been seven.
Copy !req
363. He staked out your Little League games?
Copy !req
364. Hold on, that photo
of you and your father,
Copy !req
365. do you... do you think Infinity
might have taken that?
Copy !req
366. You know, my dad sent me and my sister
Copy !req
367. to live with my Aunt Carolyn
in Montana that summer.
Copy !req
368. Dropped us off
and said, "Be back soon."
Copy !req
369. Three months later, not a word.
Copy !req
370. My aunt had to put us on a plane
Copy !req
371. so we wouldn't miss school.
Copy !req
372. I always resented him for that.
Copy !req
373. Sounds like he might have
been trying to protect you.
Copy !req
374. Hey. Hey, excuse me?
Copy !req
375. Can you turn this up?
Copy !req
376. Mr. Patton, you claim to be
Copy !req
377. the infamous Infinity rapist.
Copy !req
378. Yes.
Copy !req
379. You should know that.
Copy !req
380. You wrote three books on me.
Copy !req
381. You realize Infinity...
if he's even still alive...
Copy !req
382. would be well into
his 60s by now, if not 70s.
Copy !req
383. An old man.
Copy !req
384. That's why the world needs
a new Infinity.
Copy !req
385. That's why I'm Infinity now.
Copy !req
386. What you got?
Copy !req
387. Claire Newbury and her husband, Leo.
Copy !req
388. He was tied up,
plates stacked on his back.
Copy !req
389. She was raped, he's having chest pains.
Copy !req
390. Claire Newbury, the writer?
She... she was just on the news.
Copy !req
391. Better go upstairs.
Copy !req
392. Another copycat?
Copy !req
393. Or we just baited the real Infinity
Copy !req
394. out of retirement.
Copy !req
395. It was him. I am absolutely positive.
Copy !req
396. Did he say anything?
Copy !req
397. He said, "I'm alive, you bitch."
Copy !req
398. Obviously he saw me on the news.
Copy !req
399. Do you have any idea how
he got into your apartment?
Copy !req
400. He must have followed us in
from the street.
Copy !req
401. Leo had his key in the front door,
Copy !req
402. and suddenly he was just there.
Copy !req
403. Ski mask, gloves.
Copy !req
404. He had a knife.
Copy !req
405. I wanted to fight, to scream,
but Leo said no.
Copy !req
406. We would do whatever he wanted.
Copy !req
407. We didn't want to die.
Copy !req
408. What happened next?
Copy !req
409. He put the knife to Leo's throat.
Copy !req
410. He had me tie him up, stack the plates,
Copy !req
411. everything the way I had researched.
Copy !req
412. Exactly the way I knew he would behave.
Copy !req
413. He took me into the bedroom.
Copy !req
414. Then he tied me up and he raped me.
Copy !req
415. And he told me to moan
like I was enjoying it.
Copy !req
416. We're so sorry, Ms. Newbury.
Copy !req
417. Did you get a sense of his age?
Copy !req
418. He was an old man.
Copy !req
419. He had old man breath.
Copy !req
420. My husband is still in the hospital.
Copy !req
421. He is too old for this!
Copy !req
422. I'm too old for this!
Copy !req
423. He comes back! That's what he does!
Copy !req
424. What if he comes back?
Copy !req
425. I want this son of a bitch.
Copy !req
426. Listen, we have every available officer
Copy !req
427. working overtime.
Copy !req
428. We're pulling street cams,
Copy !req
429. we're pulling security cams
from every bodega, bank,
Copy !req
430. and lobby on the Upper East Side.
Copy !req
431. All right, was there
anything else at the scene?
Copy !req
432. A partial print, a hair, a fiber?
Copy !req
433. CSU is going over that house
with a fine-toothed comb.
Copy !req
434. We're just... we're waiting
on the rape kit.
Copy !req
435. She said he was careful.
Copy !req
436. He wore a condom,
a ski mask, and gloves.
Copy !req
437. He was careful,
but with the advancements
Copy !req
438. - in DNA technology...
- All right, what about the letters?
Copy !req
439. The lab...
Copy !req
440. it checked the letter that
we found at Patton's office.
Copy !req
441. There's no DNA. Look, there's...
Copy !req
442. there's nothing else on evidence.
Copy !req
443. All right, Patton had that letter
Copy !req
444. in his desk for years.
Copy !req
445. There could be others out
there that we don't know about.
Copy !req
446. Patton got the letter
Copy !req
447. from a dealer on the Lower East Side.
Copy !req
448. We can start there.
Copy !req
449. Good.
Copy !req
450. Hello?
Copy !req
451. Anybody here?
Copy !req
452. Yeah!
Copy !req
453. Yeah, yeah, I'm coming.
Copy !req
454. Whatever you guys are
looking for, I got it all.
Copy !req
455. NYPD.
Copy !req
456. We need to ask you a few questions.
Copy !req
457. Well, all this stuff in here
Copy !req
458. is perfectly legal, Officer.
Copy !req
459. I swear.
Copy !req
460. You did business with Karl Patton?
Copy !req
461. The copycat.
Copy !req
462. Yeah.
Copy !req
463. So you knew he was an Infinity freak?
Copy !req
464. I knew he was a kook.
Copy !req
465. I had no idea he'd actually
go out and rape someone.
Copy !req
466. Yeah, no way you could anticipate that.
Copy !req
467. That's fair enough.
Copy !req
468. Problem is, you're still guilty.
Copy !req
469. Guilty of what?
Copy !req
470. Trafficking stolen merchandise
Copy !req
471. from the NYPD.
Copy !req
472. This was 30 years ago, for God sakes.
Copy !req
473. Now, you can't prove anything.
Copy !req
474. Oh, we can subpoena
your business records.
Copy !req
475. We can subpoena your tax records.
Copy !req
476. We can hold you up in court for years.
Copy !req
477. I run a legit operation.
Copy !req
478. Legit, huh?
Copy !req
479. Then you'll have no problem
giving us receipts
Copy !req
480. for every item in this store.
Copy !req
481. Certificates of authenticity,
certificates of provenance.
Copy !req
482. This is a shakedown.
Copy !req
483. Bingo.
Copy !req
484. Okay, what do you want?
Copy !req
485. Anything and everything Infinity.
Copy !req
486. Back room stuff. All of it.
Copy !req
487. What's mine is yours.
Copy !req
488. Right this way.
Copy !req
489. The lab actually pulled DNA
from Infinity memorabilia?
Copy !req
490. Saliva residue from a stamp.
Copy !req
491. A letter mailed back in '83.
Copy !req
492. Back before Infinity got careful.
Copy !req
493. Yeah, the bad news is,
there's no hits in CODIS.
Copy !req
494. I'm starting to understand
Copy !req
495. how my father must have felt.
Copy !req
496. Hey, sorry to interrupt,
Copy !req
497. but the, uh, DNA from the stamp?
Copy !req
498. - I got a hit.
- How?
Copy !req
499. I thought there was nothing in CODIS?
Copy !req
500. From learnmylineage.com.
Copy !req
501. You sent Infinity's DNA
to a genealogy website?
Copy !req
502. It was a shot in the dark.
Copy !req
503. I figured it was easier
to ask your forgiveness
Copy !req
504. than your permission.
Copy !req
505. And?
Copy !req
506. I got a familial hit.
A close female relative.
Copy !req
507. She's got an address in Brooklyn,
Copy !req
508. and she gave the site
permission to contact her
Copy !req
509. with any matches.
Copy !req
510. So now I'm, uh...
I'm asking your permission.
Copy !req
511. Go, run with it. Go.
Copy !req
512. - Amy Gardner?
- Yeah.
Copy !req
513. I'm Detective Dominick Carisi.
Copy !req
514. This is Sergeant Tutuola.
Copy !req
515. What's this about?
Copy !req
516. We're hoping you could help us.
Copy !req
517. Last year you sent in a DNA sample
Copy !req
518. to learnmylineage.com?
Copy !req
519. I guess I got sucked in
by the TV ads for Father's Day.
Copy !req
520. We do need to talk to you
about your male relatives.
Copy !req
521. You're serious.
Copy !req
522. It's important.
Copy !req
523. Then I guess you'd better come in.
Copy !req
524. Thank you.
Copy !req
525. So you're saying that one
of my relatives is a criminal?
Copy !req
526. The DNA match could be a relative
Copy !req
527. you didn't even know you had.
Copy !req
528. That must be it, because both
of my parents are dead.
Copy !req
529. I don't have any cousins or brothers.
Copy !req
530. I mean, I have a little sister.
Copy !req
531. She lives in San Francisco.
Copy !req
532. No, this relative will be a male.
Copy !req
533. An older male.
Copy !req
534. Uncle Edgar?
Copy !req
535. My mom's big brother.
Copy !req
536. How old is Uncle Edgar?
Copy !req
537. Sixty-eight.
Copy !req
538. He lives in New York?
Copy !req
539. His whole life.
Copy !req
540. He worked as a cable repair man.
Copy !req
541. He retired a few years ago
when his wife died.
Copy !req
542. When did he get married?
Copy !req
543. I think it was '94?
Copy !req
544. He's the sweetest man in the world.
Copy !req
545. What do you think he did?
Copy !req
546. We're gonna need his address.
Copy !req
547. I don't think I should.
Copy !req
548. Is what you're doing even legal?
Copy !req
549. We're gonna talk to your uncle
Copy !req
550. whether you give us his address or not.
Copy !req
551. You're making a mistake.
Copy !req
552. Go, I'll stay.
Copy !req
553. You're not going with him?
Copy !req
554. I need to wait here. I'm sorry.
Copy !req
555. To make sure I don't call Uncle Edgar.
Copy !req
556. He's not here.
Copy !req
557. Super said he left on a bodega run
Copy !req
558. about an hour ago.
Copy !req
559. Okay, are we sure
this is the right address?
Copy !req
560. Edgar No one, 68.
Copy !req
561. Lived here with his wife
before she passed for 20 years.
Copy !req
562. Edgar, how you doing?
Copy !req
563. Fin.
Copy !req
564. On it.
Copy !req
565. Edgar No one.
Copy !req
566. Yes?
Copy !req
567. What's this about?
Copy !req
568. NYPD.
Copy !req
569. Mr. No one, put your groceries down.
Copy !req
570. Put your hands where we can see them.
Copy !req
571. You need to come with us.
Copy !req
572. Let's go.
Copy !req
573. Excuse me.
Copy !req
574. Hey, Lieu.
Copy !req
575. Okay, that's great.
Copy !req
576. Thanks.
Copy !req
577. Your uncle's in custody.
Copy !req
578. What did he do?
Copy !req
579. Do you remember the Infinity Rapist?
Copy !req
580. Of the '80s and '90s?
Copy !req
581. Yeah.
Copy !req
582. Well, your uncle's age,
Copy !req
583. the timing of the assaults,
plus the DNA...
Copy !req
584. No, I don't believe it.
Copy !req
585. I'm getting him a lawyer.
I know how this works.
Copy !req
586. That's your right.
He's entitled to a defense.
Copy !req
587. Rush it.
Copy !req
588. We're on it.
Copy !req
589. Now what happens?
Copy !req
590. We wait for the DNA match
Copy !req
591. and then we arrest you for 23 rapes.
Copy !req
592. I'm not Infinity.
Copy !req
593. Let's agree to disagree.
Copy !req
594. You're pretty confident.
Copy !req
595. Oh, I'm very confident...
Copy !req
596. that if we had the wrong man,
Copy !req
597. you wouldn't be so calm.
Copy !req
598. See, we have police files
going back decades.
Copy !req
599. Dates, times, places.
Copy !req
600. And those apartments are gonna be
Copy !req
601. on your cable repair route.
Copy !req
602. And you won't have an alibi.
Copy !req
603. We got the knives.
Copy !req
604. We got the rope you planted,
Copy !req
605. which you used to tie up your victims.
Copy !req
606. Infinity wore gloves.
Copy !req
607. Well, we'll find touch DNA somewhere.
Copy !req
608. Infinity's too smart.
Copy !req
609. Infinity's so smart,
why'd he come out of retirement
Copy !req
610. and rape Claire Newbury?
Copy !req
611. The case was cold.
Copy !req
612. He would have gotten away with it.
Copy !req
613. Maybe...
Copy !req
614. he didn't want the world
to think he was dead.
Copy !req
615. Now you get to go to prison for life.
Copy !req
616. There's ADA Stone now.
Copy !req
617. Look who I ran into in the lobby.
Copy !req
618. No more questions for my client.
Copy !req
619. You're Ben Stone's son, aren't you?
Copy !req
620. Yeah.
Copy !req
621. Yeah, I am. Why'd you ask?
Copy !req
622. I said no more questions.
Copy !req
623. No one's DNA matched the DNA
on the back of the stamp
Copy !req
624. and Claire Newbury made a voice ID.
Copy !req
625. That's just enough for an
arrest warrant for the one rape.
Copy !req
626. What about the 22 other rapes?
Copy !req
627. Well, defense will argue
that No one may have
Copy !req
628. licked the stamp and mailed the letter,
Copy !req
629. but that doesn't prove he's Infinity.
Copy !req
630. What about the apartment? Any trophies?
Copy !req
631. No, now we're going through
his financials.
Copy !req
632. Maybe he's got
a storage unit somewhere.
Copy !req
633. Does his niece know anything?
Copy !req
634. Nah, to her, he's just a sweet uncle.
Copy !req
635. What about the profile
you sent the website?
Copy !req
636. Uh, I used my name.
Copy !req
637. Relax, the guys who caught Golden State
Copy !req
638. did not identify themselves as police.
Copy !req
639. Now, I did the research on this,
Copy !req
640. and there is legal precedent
in California and Florida.
Copy !req
641. Yeah, but not New York,
Copy !req
642. which is what defense will argue.
Copy !req
643. - This just came for you.
- Thanks.
Copy !req
644. Defense motion to exclude No one's DNA.
Copy !req
645. Eh, good for them,
Copy !req
646. but on this one the law's on our side.
Copy !req
647. Let's hope a judge thinks so.
Copy !req
648. The familial DNA
Copy !req
649. which led police to my client
Copy !req
650. was obtained without
a valid court order.
Copy !req
651. The genealogy website
willingly complied.
Copy !req
652. Based on assumption of identity.
Copy !req
653. NYPD did not identify themselves.
Copy !req
654. Which is not illegal.
Copy !req
655. - Was the website public?
- Private.
Copy !req
656. And while my client's niece
agreed to being contacted
Copy !req
657. by familial matches, she did not agree
Copy !req
658. to law enforcement
having access to her DNA.
Copy !req
659. Katz versus United States.
Copy !req
660. Supreme Court ruled in favor
of protections
Copy !req
661. of intrusions of privacy.
Copy !req
662. With exception
for exigent circumstances.
Copy !req
663. We believe Edgar No one
is the Infinity Rapist.
Copy !req
664. To allow him the opportunity to escape
Copy !req
665. would have been putting
the entire population
Copy !req
666. of New York City in imminent danger.
Copy !req
667. There are serious
Fourth Amendment issues here.
Copy !req
668. If we go down this road, what's next?
Copy !req
669. Police state?
Copy !req
670. A mandatory universal DNA database?
Copy !req
671. I see your point.
Copy !req
672. Mr. Stone, do you have
any other evidence
Copy !req
673. - linking Mr. No one to these crimes?
- Yes, Your Honor.
Copy !req
674. The last victim made a positive
voice identification.
Copy !req
675. And that is also tainted.
Copy !req
676. I have to agree.
Copy !req
677. As all the evidence in the case
Copy !req
678. is fruit of the poisonous tree,
Copy !req
679. I grant the motion to dismiss.
Copy !req
680. Your Honor, this monster
Copy !req
681. is guilty of 23 rapes.
Copy !req
682. You dismiss now, we lose
Copy !req
683. any chance of justice
for those victims.
Copy !req
684. I feel your pain, Mr. Stone,
Copy !req
685. but the evidence doesn't support
Copy !req
686. the pending indictment.
Copy !req
687. I am putting the case over
for a new indictment.
Copy !req
688. In the meantime, Mr. No one,
you're free to go.
Copy !req
689. Your father would have done better.
Copy !req
690. Hey.
Copy !req
691. Hey, thank you for meeting me.
Copy !req
692. Yeah, of course.
Copy !req
693. I was, uh... I was surprised
that you called.
Copy !req
694. My uncle hasn't called me back.
Copy !req
695. What do you think that means?
Copy !req
696. DNA doesn't lie, does it?
Copy !req
697. Oh, God.
Copy !req
698. Oh, my God.
Copy !req
699. He used to pick me up from school,
Copy !req
700. take me to the park.
Copy !req
701. How is this possible?
Copy !req
702. Amy...
Copy !req
703. is... is there anything else
Copy !req
704. that you can tell me about your uncle?
Copy !req
705. Anything at all.
Copy !req
706. I...
Copy !req
707. He stayed with us for a few months.
Copy !req
708. I was six.
Copy !req
709. He would wake up in the middle
of the night screaming...
Copy !req
710. "I can't listen, make it stop!"
Copy !req
711. Years later, my mom told me
about her and Edgar's parents.
Copy !req
712. They were alcoholics.
Copy !req
713. They were always fighting and...
Copy !req
714. some nights my grandfather
Copy !req
715. would lock my mother
and Edgar in their room.
Copy !req
716. Told them not to make a sound.
Copy !req
717. What happened on those nights?
Copy !req
718. She said that...
Copy !req
719. my grandfather did horrible things
Copy !req
720. to my grandmother.
Copy !req
721. I think he raped her.
Copy !req
722. And he made your mother
and Edgar listen, didn't he?
Copy !req
723. So my father was tortured by a man
Copy !req
724. who was tortured by his own father?
Copy !req
725. Uh-huh.
Copy !req
726. Probably too little too late.
Copy !req
727. Maybe not.
Copy !req
728. No one sent over a dozen
"Dear Ben" letters.
Copy !req
729. They were taunting.
They were full of detail.
Copy !req
730. He... he wanted to be caught.
Copy !req
731. Yeah, or he wanted to confess...
Copy !req
732. to Ben Stone.
Copy !req
733. See, he saw him as a father figure.
Copy !req
734. Look, he even sent him
a Father's Day card.
Copy !req
735. Okay, um...
Copy !req
736. we gotta find a way
to get this guy back
Copy !req
737. in the interrogation room.
Copy !req
738. You arrested him for driving
on a suspended license?
Copy !req
739. An old guy?
Copy !req
740. Who knew he had
unpaid speeding tickets?
Copy !req
741. He hasn't asked for a lawyer?
Copy !req
742. Not yet.
Copy !req
743. And he'll talk to us?
Copy !req
744. He'll talk to my father.
Copy !req
745. "Dear Ben, I was thinking
about you last night.
Copy !req
746. - "Wondering about Mary."
- Mary Harris.
Copy !req
747. Infinity's 22nd victim.
Copy !req
748. "Wondering if Mary would
tell you "what I did to her."
Copy !req
749. "What I made her say."
Copy !req
750. "If she would get the details right"
Copy !req
751. "or if she would leave out
the interesting parts"
Copy !req
752. "because she was ashamed."
Copy !req
753. Infinity had a way with words.
Copy !req
754. That's probably what made him
interesting to Ben Stone.
Copy !req
755. Yeah.
Copy !req
756. My father studied him.
Copy !req
757. He read and reread the letters,
Copy !req
758. looking for clues about...
about the crimes.
Copy !req
759. His life.
Copy !req
760. About his traumatic childhood.
Copy !req
761. What do you mean?
Copy !req
762. As a boy, Infinity was forced to listen
Copy !req
763. while his father raped his mother.
Copy !req
764. Explains the pathology, but...
Copy !req
765. I don't think any of that
was in the books.
Copy !req
766. And... and Ben Stone knew that?
Copy !req
767. Oh, my father was obsessed.
Copy !req
768. I mean, he kept everything.
Copy !req
769. I mean, look, letter after letter.
Copy !req
770. Infinity even sent him
a Father's Day card one year.
Copy !req
771. Look.
Copy !req
772. "Dear Ben, happy Father's Day."
Copy !req
773. Signed with the infinity symbol.
Copy !req
774. Take a look.
Copy !req
775. Ben Stone kept this?
Copy !req
776. Yeah, he did.
Copy !req
777. He kept it in an evidence file
Copy !req
778. so it wouldn't get smudged or torn.
Copy !req
779. Of course, the idiot,
he sent a card with golf clubs.
Copy !req
780. My father never played a game
of golf in his life.
Copy !req
781. Infinity couldn't have known that...
Copy !req
782. Right.
Copy !req
783. Because he knew nothing
about my father.
Copy !req
784. They had a relationship.
Copy !req
785. There was no relationship.
Copy !req
786. All those hours Ben Stone
spent on the case?
Copy !req
787. He spent more time with Infinity
Copy !req
788. than he did with his own family!
Copy !req
789. Ben Stone cared about
the women who were raped.
Copy !req
790. He cared about getting justice
for them.
Copy !req
791. You're a little confused.
Copy !req
792. If you think this was about you,
Copy !req
793. you're more insane than I thought.
Copy !req
794. No!
Copy !req
795. That's not true!
Copy !req
796. I know!
Copy !req
797. You know what?
Copy !req
798. I would wait outside the DA's office
Copy !req
799. until the light in his office went out.
Copy !req
800. Some nights, he wouldn't even
get in his car
Copy !req
801. until after midnight.
Copy !req
802. It was me he cared about.
Copy !req
803. Not you.
Copy !req
804. Me!
Copy !req
805. It was me he loved!
Copy !req
806. He's going to spend
the rest of his life in prison.
Copy !req
807. Your father would be proud, Peter.
Copy !req
808. I, uh...
Copy !req
809. I found this in my father's notes.
Copy !req
810. Uh, "Peter's game today."
Copy !req
811. "Don't be late. He's
the starting pitcher."
Copy !req
812. I was in junior high.
Copy !req
813. It was the first game of the season.
Copy !req
814. He never showed.
Copy !req
815. I hit a homer in the last inning.
Copy !req
816. I went home and, uh...
Copy !req
817. I could tell he wanted to talk,
but I was so angry
Copy !req
818. I just went to my room.
Copy !req
819. I'll never forget
the disappointment in his eyes.
Copy !req
820. You were a teenager.
Copy !req
821. Yeah.
Copy !req
822. The next day he wrote this:
Copy !req
823. Uh...
Copy !req
824. "Peter's team won."
Copy !req
825. "Maybe he'll forgive me someday."
Copy !req
826. We never talked about that game.
Copy !req
827. It was September '93.
Copy !req
828. Turns out...
Copy !req
829. Infinity had struck again
the night before.
Copy !req
830. Peter.
Copy !req
831. It's time to forgive him.
Copy !req
832. Yeah.
Copy !req
833. Thank you, Lucy.
Copy !req
834. Why are you home early?
Copy !req
835. I thought we'd spend
a little time together.
Copy !req
836. I want Lucy.
Copy !req
837. Okay, so, uh...
Copy !req
838. Noah, we all get
in bad moods sometimes,
Copy !req
839. and that's okay.
Copy !req
840. And sometimes it's not about Lucy
Copy !req
841. or olives or homework.
Copy !req
842. Right?
Copy !req
843. It means that we're upset
about something else.
Copy !req
844. What's wrong, honey? You can tell me.
Copy !req
845. Noah? Tell me.
Copy !req
846. It's Jeremy.
Copy !req
847. He keeps asking where my dad is.
Copy !req
848. I told him he's in heaven.
Copy !req
849. That's right, Noah.
Copy !req
850. He is.
Copy !req
851. Did he love me?
Copy !req
852. Oh, sweetheart.
Copy !req
853. Honey, of course he did.
Copy !req
854. Very, very, very much.
Copy !req
855. And...
Copy !req
856. someday, when you get older,
Copy !req
857. I promise you I'm gonna
tell you all about him.
Copy !req
858. But for right now, it's just...
Copy !req
859. it's just Team You and Me.
Copy !req
860. And I feel...
Copy !req
861. So very lucky to be on that team.
Copy !req
862. Me too.
Copy !req
863. I love you, honey.
Copy !req
864. One sec.
Copy !req
865. Peter, hey. Something about the case?
Copy !req
866. Actually, I'm not here to talk to you.
Copy !req
867. - Coach!
- Hey.
Copy !req
868. I thought maybe Noah and me
could play a game of catch.
Copy !req
869. Can I play catch? Please, Mom?
Copy !req
870. Uh, sure you can.
Copy !req
871. There you go.
Copy !req
872. - Yeah.
- Hey, thanks.
Copy !req
873. - Come on, slugger.
- Let's go!
Copy !req
874. - Shoes.
- Hey, grab your coat!
Copy !req
875. - Okay!
- And coat, here you go.
Copy !req
876. All right, come on, come on.
Get those shoes on.
Copy !req
877. - Go, go, go.
- Yeah, that'll work.
Copy !req
878. That'll work. Come on, big guy.
Copy !req
879. Nice one. All right, put these on.
Copy !req
880. - All right, you ready?
- Let's go.
Copy !req
881. Thank you.
Copy !req
882. Thank you.
