MAN: I need to report a murder.
OPERATOR: May I have your name, please?
Where are you calling from?
MAN: The body's beaten, bound and gagged.

911 call came inat 11:00 p.m.
Unidentified male.
Patrol unit arrived15 minutes later
to find the body.
No sign of the caller.
WitneNone.
Every victim of theProspect Park Rapist
was dumped within amile of this location.
I don't thinkit's a coincidence.
This one's gotall the markings.
Mouth gag,body beat to a pulp.
Wrists bound withpurple duct tape.
All made to look likeour rapist's signature.

They match prints recoveredfrom some of his victims.
TAYLOR: Well, now we need a nameto go with the title.
Still a John Doe.
Well, someoneknew who he was.
They used his signatureagainst him.
This looks like revenge.
Two gunshotsto the groin,
one to the head.
Killer's sending a message.
Yeah.
Got a blood pool.
No high-velocity spatter.

SID: were in life, man's sins
he paid for them in death.
Multiple skull fractures,
four broken ribs,
collarbone.
Both ankles.
We've got three bullet wounds,
two to the groin area,
one of which hitthe lower abdomen.
And the other lodgeditself in the femur.
Head wounds arethrough and through.
Close range, judgingfrom the stippling.
Mm-hmm.The tongue is fascinating.
Results of the biopsy and histological exam
confirm that it's not caused by any kind of disease
or medical condition.
I'll send the sampleup to the lab.
We'll run it through GCMS.
I noticed the swelling
and irritationaround the eyes.
Originally, I thought it wascaused by the physical beating.
However, under an ALS,
we get a different story.
Some kind of UV marker.
Also found high levelsof oleoresin capsicum.
Pepper spray.
Thinking the rapistcame upon a victim
who decided to fight back.
Sprayed him, gave hima taste of his own medicine.
It's a good theory,
only we have a 911 call thatwas made before the murder,
and the caller was a man.
Hmm.
NYPD spent a lot of timelooking for this rapist.
Never could identify him.
Well, someone did.
Whoever it was
wanted to take care ofthe problem themselves.
We have a vigilanteon our hands.
REPORTER: Spokesmen for the police department
confirmed that the body of a man believed
to be the Prospect Park Rapist
was found near the Brooklyn Navy Yard.
He singled out solitary women at night,
and attacked with brutal force.
(screams)
He beat and gagged his victims.
(screams)
Once they were bound,
he would transport them to his van
where he sexually assaulted them,
often for hours.
Though there's been no official statement,
unnamed sources have reported
the Prospect Park Rapist's body
was found bound and gagged in the same warehouse area
where he dumped his victims.
This begs the question,
did one of his victims seek revenge?
DANVILLE: Is this the man who attacked you?
Yes.
(sobbing)I'm sorry.
No. Take your time.
I've had nightmaresfor months.
I can't believe he's dead.
Do you have a brother?
Or boyfriend?
Yeah. What about him?
Does he know whathappened to you?
You mean, the rape?
Why would that matter, anyway?
It was a man
who called 911 to reportyour rapist's death.
Sorry.
No one I know has the ballsto do something like this.
I don't know if youremember me, but we met
a while ago at yoursupport group.
I was giving a talk.
Yeah.
Detective Messer.
You can call me Lindsay.
Could you take alook at this for me?
Is that the manthat raped me?
Well, I was hopingyou could tell me.
The other womenidentified him, right?
Just take another look, okay?
I really don't know.
I never saw his face.
You know,when you and I spoke,
all those months ago,you were so scared.
You wanted toprotect yourself.
I never got a gun,if that's what you're asking.
I gave you pepperspray instead.
Do you still have that?
Got rid of it.
Is there a guy in your life?
Male friends, relatives?
There's no one.
Why are you asking methese questions?
The man who attacked youwas found beaten and bound
in the same manner heused on his victims.
Good.
I've talked to a lotof rape victims, Kate.
Some are scared.
Some are angry.
You're the only one whoever asked me for a gun.
I don't have a boyfriend.
My father died five years ago.
There areno other relatives nearby.
I was home last night.
Alone.
Don't get out much anymore.
I'm sure you understand why.
Anything else?
No.
MAN: I need to report a murder.
OPERATOR: May I have your name, please? Where are you calling from?
MAN: The body'sbeaten, bound and gagged.
Shot three times.
You'll find it in the alley
behind the oldMirado Beer warehouse,
near the Brooklyn Navy Yard.
OPERATOR:And when did it happen?
MAN:It's about to.
OPERATOR:Sir, can you repeat that?
Sir, sir, can youplease repeat that?
The operator goes onlike that for a bit.
But you get the point.
He obviously wanted us toknow about the murder.
Wanted to be clear thathe had all the details.
The killer wants credit.
Yeah, well, we'd be happyto give it to him
if he made himself available.
There's no way you can,uh, trace this call, huh?
It's a disposable phone.
Caller turned it offafter he hung up,
and then probablytossed it.
All right. This 911 caller sayshe's about to commit the murder.
15 minutes later,patrol finds the body.
That's a pretty small window tobeat and kill our victim, huh?
I'm thinking whereverthat call was made,
that might beour crime scene.
Yeah.
Let's analyze the,uh, background noise,
and the ambient sound.It could help us
pinpoint where thecall came from.
Okay, okay, look.
It's a long shot inthe best of circumstances.
Okay? But this call,
it's got some sortof background frequency.
It's-It's nearly impossible.
It's nearly impossible?
Which means it's a littlebit possible, so...
Go forth and conquer.
Hey. GCMS results
on our John Doe's black tonguecame back
with high levels of pyrethroids.
Like in pesticides.
And the only way
you get a reactionto a pesticide like that
is with frequentand long-term exposure.
So, either our vic worked insome kind of chemical factory,
or he was an exterminator.
So you checkedout pest control
companies that workedthe Prospect Park area
where the rapes occurred.
I cross-referenced them
with the companies
that serviced the rapist'svictims' apartments,
and came upwith Hudlin Exterminators.
Any of their employees notshow up for work this morning?
Only one, and he matchesthe description of our vic.
Mac. I comparedthe duct tape
we found at the sceneto the duct tape
that the rapist usedto bind his vics.
(beep)
(beeping)
They don't just havesimilar class characteristics.
They're fromthe exact same roll.
What about the gun?
.380 ACP.No hits in IBIS.
Our killer is smart.
Figured out theidentity of a predator
half the NYPDcouldn't track down.
Observed our rapist, Garland Clarke, stalked him.
Waited for him to make his move.
Then informed us about it
before executing his plan.
(yells)
(grunts)
No, no, no!
And disappears.
Of course he could be a she.
The 911 call came from a man.
DNA analysis from thehair we found on the tape
turned outto be female.
(computer chirping)
Did you get a hit in CODIS?
No, but I ran itagainst DNA samples
from his victims' rape kits,got a match.
That's Kate Price.
That's his first victim.
(yelling)
KATE:I've never seen him.
Is there someone who canvouch for you last night?
Like I said,I was home alone, watching TV.
David Letterman.
Would you like meto list the guests?
Look, there's somethingyou need to understand.
We found your hairon this man's dead body.
That's serious.
So let's start again.
Where were you last night?
(sighs)
Okay.
These are photosof Garland Clarke
on his roundsas an exterminator.
On his stoop,leaving his apartment.
Having a beer.
You searched my apartment?
LINDSAY: Yes. We thought you were telling the truth
until we opened a desk drawer.
So tell me again how youdon't know who this is.
This is the manwho raped you, Kate.
The man you swore to meyou'd never seen before.
You've been following him.
Do you understandhow serious this is?
I thinkI need some air or something.
No. What you needis to listen to me.
If you want to avoid
spending the rest ofyour life behind bars,
you have to tell me everything.
(door opening)
Don't say another word.
My client is done talking.
You called a lawyer?
I consult with the CityVictims' Network.
They informed me that Kate wasbeing held for questioning.
Okay, I don't know whatkind of law you practice,
but Kate is in alot of trouble here.
I used to be a public defender,
so let's just forgothe back and forth, Detective,
and let me speak to my client.
Uh, thanks.
Traffic boys found Clarke's vanparked in a loading zone.
They towed it overthis morning.
Keys are in the front seat.
Hey, Doc.
Think we foundour crime scene, gentlemen.
So, the killer subdued Clarkeand brought him back
to his own vanto finish the job.
Dumped the bodyat the Navy Yard
and abandonedthe van.
See what we got here.
I'll take the cab.
I've got biologicals--
semen, vaginal fluids.
Anyone wantto go grab a bite after?
This is morethan Clarke's work van.
This is his lair.
Yeah.
(screaming)
Check this out.
Purple duct tape for binding.
Gloves.
Scissors.
What did he usethe scissors for?
Souvenirs.
He cut off locks of their hairto keep for later.
HAWKES:None of Clarke's victims
mentioned thatas part of his MO.
FLACK: They probably didn't know
it was happening.
Hey, how many vics did you saycame forward anyway?
Five. Why?
That's a lot more than five.

(computer chiming)
Hey.
Five of the hair samples
from Clarke's vanmatch his victims.
LINDSAY:So I'm guessing the other five
were from womenwho never came forward?
Five more suspects.
Anything that links Kateto the murder?
Well, her DNA wasall over the carpet.
Probably from whenshe was raped.
Might also explain whywe found her hair on the tape.
Clarke kept all of hissupplies in the same bag
in his van--gloves, tape, scissors.
After he raped Kate, he took some of her hair.
A strand of hair
could have transferred to the roll of tape.
And the hair didn't come offuntil a year later
when he was boundusing the same roll of tape?
It's possible.
It still doesn't explainwhy Kate was tracking Clarke
and lying to us about it.
Yeah. We're wasting awhole lot of man hours
hunting a killerthat should get a medal
for doing the communitya service.
There's a body on aslab in Autopsy, Hawkes.
Yeah, and he beat and rapedat least ten women.
I'm surprisedto hear you defending him.
Why? Because I'm a woman,I should cheer his death?
I'm a cop first.
As much as I despisewhat he did,
I don't advocatevigilante justice.
Come on, Hawkes.You're a doctor.
What would you doif Clarke came into your ER?
He didn't. He's dead.
That's a convenient answer.
My girlfriend was raped,Lindsay,
and after that,our relationship changed.
Hell, it ended.
And I won't lie to you.
The thought of killing the guythat did that to her...
definitely crossed my mind.
I mean, come on.You know this girl Kate.
You don't feel for her?
Of course I feel for her.
But I don't know her, Hawkes.
I had a conversation with herone time a year ago,
and she asked me for a gun.
I'm not her counselor,I'm not her priest.
If she's guilty of murder,I'm going to put her away.
(cell phone rings)
OPERATOR:911. What is your emergency?
MAN:I need to report a murder.
A man's beenbeaten and shot

OPERATOR:When did this happen?
Sir? Sir?
It's about to.
(sirens blaring)
FLACK:Second
911 call had the same signature
as the first.
Murder was reportedbefore it happened.
Only this time,
the caller didn't turnthe power off the phone.
Signal from the cellbrought us here.
Suspect could still bein the garage.
Yup.
Signal's comingfrom the basement level.
Let's do it.
TAYLOR:Flack, single malebehind the pickup

Got him.
NYPD!
Put your handswhere I can see 'em. Now!
He's dead.

The cell phone signal is stilldefinitely coming from her.
No phone.
Oh.
Boom.
It's right here.
We're too late.
(garbled radio transmission)
Our vic's name is Craig Tomlin.
He's an ex-con.
Did five yearsfor sexual assault.
Just got out a couple weeks ago.
So our suspect has athing for predators.
TAYLOR:His throat is flushagainst the trailer hitch.
It was like he was being choked.
So our killer calls 911,chokes this guy,
and then shoots himfrom behind?
Doesn't add up.
Whatever happened here--
I don't thinkit went as planned.
Blood spatter patternis inconsistent
with the head wound.
And there's a void.
Someone was underneathhim when he was shot.
(grunting)
We're lookingfor at least two suspects.
♪ ♪
Two male victims, bothsexual predators,
and near identical911 calls.
In the first murder, thesuspects mimicked Clarke's MO,
leaving the body where he dumped his victims.
DANVILLE: Our second vic, Craig Tomlin
served time for grabbing a woman in a parking lot,
forcing her to drive
to another locationbefore attacking her.
None of thatwas mimicked here.
TAYLOR: The killers neverhad the opportunity.
Their plan went wrong.
We found UV markers
and traces of pepperspray on Tomlin's face.
But look at theautopsy photo.
No irritation. No inflammation.
A small percentageof the population
is immune to theeffects of capsicum.
Tomlin must havebeen one of them.
Caught our suspectsby surprise.
He started to fight.Plan went south.
They cut and run.
Whatever connection, thesekillers have taken out
two predators in 24 hours.
It's safe to assumethey'll strike again.

I-I am. I mean, I was.
I mean, th-this connects.

It's a woman.
Voice patterns areas distinct as fingerprints.

We don't, but 911 does.
They store every call madewithin a five-year period.
Yeah, but what goodwill that do us?
What if our suspect was avictim of sexual assault?
Called 911 in the pastfor their own attack?
Anybody could havecalled 911.

What do petrolatum,

I'm guessing some kind ofincendiary device
or perhaps a new facial cream?
Sweat enhancer. Got it offof Craig Tomlin's collar.
That some kind of sex thing?
(laughing):No.
It's an ointment that athletesuse before they work ou.
Accelerates heat production,stimulates sweat glands.
So it must have come off one
of our suspectsduring the struggle.
You know what the great thingabout this stuff?
It preserves sweat.
Meaning we haveour suspect's DNA?
Yup, but allwe know is,
it is a female.

Can I just ask you a question?
What if I confessed?
I-I could say it wasself-defense.
Everyone knowswhat a bastard Clarke was.
I could get leniency.
The surveillance photos,the 911 calls.
Nobody's gonna believeself-defense.
We found anotherbody, Kate.
Another rapist killed
while you were inour custody.
I don't think you killed anyone,
but you're covering for someone.
And while you're in here,
they're out there getting readyto do it again.
You know, if you spent halfas much time trying
to catch these rapists as youare trying
to solve their murders,maybe they wouldn't have to.
You think I don't careabout you?
About all theother victims?
You know whyI remember you, Lindsay?
The day that we metat group,
before you and I spoke...
you kept checking your watch.
You just couldn't waitto get out of there.
But I didn't blame you.
It wasn't like we wantedto be there either.
Lindsay?
(sighs)
I think Kate blames me
for not catchingGarland Clarke.
I didn't work that case.
I hardly knew anythingabout it.
She's been through a lot.
Don't take it personally.
Still...
she thinks I don't care.
You know what?
When she reached out to me afterI spoke to her support group,
all I did was hand hersome pepper spray
and a pamphlet on howto deal with trauma.
And now I'm accusing herof murder.
And I certainlydon't blame herfor resenting me,
but I don't know whatI'm supposed to do. I'm a cop.
You know, the last case I workedon at the Bureau was
the rape of a young woman.Very high profile.
Senator Matthews' daughter.
Yeah.
We had that suspectdead to rights,
but we mishandled the DNA.
We knew he did itbeyond the shadow of a doubt,
but he was acquitted.
(sighs)
The look on thatgirl's face
when she was told that the man
who raped her wasgonna go free...
I don't think I've ever beenlooked at quite like that.
I'll never forget it.
Utter betrayal.
So, how did you handle it?
How do you follow the lawand still be a human being?
That's the hard part.
Because a piece of me,
if that were my daughter,that would want him dead,
I have to put in a box in orderto go back and do my job.
Even if it doesn'tmake sense, Lindsay,
even if good people get hurtand bad people go free,
that's what we do.
And it's hard.
It's hard.
How do I explain that to Kate?
I don't knowthat you can.
Because we meet these people onthe worst day of their lives.
And all we can really dofor them is listen.

Craig Tomlin was arrested forsexual assault six years ago.
You were hispublic defender.

procedure when thecops picked him up.
No way the D.A.could win a trial.

You didn't tell herto go to the police?
For what?
The cops were afterhim for a year.
Didn't even have a description.
Annie and I...
we used to fantasizeabout what we would do
if we ever had the opportunity

Did Kate ask No.to kill him?
We told her to do nothing,and we'd handle it.

And then you know what I felt?

scheduled an appointment...
Left out my gym stuff,some photos of me training.
And waited.

Did that make you feel powerful?
He got his rocks off beatingthe crap out of women.
And to give that feelingback to him?
I never felt better in my life.
Is that why you and Anniewent after Tomlin?
To relive the thrill?
Craig Tomlin kidnappedthat girl.
Locked her inthe trunk of her own car.
As he raped her...(shuddering breath)
...he whispered in her earhow he was going to
come back for secondswhen he was done.
He ruined her life.
And because of me,he only served five years.
He should'vedied in prison.
But he didn't.
He got free.
And he was going todo it again.
So you set him up?
Just like Clarke?
Only, the plan didn't work.
