00:05You
02:22That's right.
02:22Victim's name is Marie Adler.
02:27Oh, wow.
02:29That one.
02:30Yes, sir.
02:31Yeah, that wasn't unsolved.
02:33It was dismissed.
02:35She made it up.
02:36Are we talking about the same Marie Adler?
02:38Date of birth, 4'6", 90, 5'3", 110 pounds.
02:41Yeah, that's her.
02:43A complicated kid.
02:44It's pretty sad, actually.
02:45We ended up having to charge her with false reporting.
02:47I mean, I felt bad for her, but, you know, love the law.
02:52Detective, would you mind giving me your email address?
02:55Sure.
02:55Uh, it's parker at linwoodpd.com.
03:03Okay, I'm sending you something.
03:04You let me know when you get it.
03:09I just got it.
03:10Yeah, when we were going through our guy's stuff, we found pictures of his victims.
03:16Most were of women we already knew about.
03:18The one I'm sending you was the only one we didn't recognize.
03:28Did it open?
03:37Detective?
03:37Yeah, yes.
03:39We have seven more of her.
03:41The others are harder to look at.
03:46I'll send him along so you have everything.
03:59Yeah.
04:00Okay.
04:03So long.
04:08What was that?
04:26Detective Parker, did you see Detective Rasmussen?
04:31Hey, Gonzales called.
04:33He needs us to go through our files and add up how many times McCarthy's stopped and started
04:36for each breakdown.
04:37You can use each time you re-enter it as a new recharge.
04:40Well, I can do that.
04:41Oh, look who's landed.
04:48Detective Parker?
04:50Yes, hi.
04:51Grace Rasmussen.
04:52Nice of you to come all this way.
04:53Hey, we're in here.
05:08That's a lot of paperwork.
05:10It includes all our dead ends.
05:14So, coffee, tea, shitty snacks are over there in the corner.
05:19Junk food is too junk food.
05:24Thanks.
05:25Thanks.
05:28Thanks.
05:29Thanks.
05:38Thanks.
05:43Thanks.
05:46Thanks.
05:50Thanks.
05:50Thanks.
05:50Thanks.
05:50Thanks.
05:50Thanks.
05:51Thanks.
05:52Thanks.
06:33That's good work.
06:35It's very good work.
06:40Looks like you have enough to...
06:43send him away for a long time.
06:45Mm, I don't count my chickens.
06:47I've seen rapists get probation too many times
06:49to count on anything.
06:51Here, why, uh, why don't I walk you out?
07:04I feel like, um,
07:08I should explain.
07:11The problem is, uh,
07:16I've got
07:18nothing.
07:25You know, you hear about bad cops?
07:29You know, guys who
07:29make bad calls or end up hurting the people
07:31they're supposed to protect, and I always think, like,
07:34well, who the hell let him on the force, right?
07:35Just get rid of it.
07:42Maybe we should get rid of me.
07:52Well, thank you.
07:53You bet.
07:54You bet.
07:56I don't know why,
07:57I don't know why.
08:14Oh.
08:15Oh, my God.
08:54Hey, Marie.
08:58You got a couple minutes?
09:25Oh, my God.
09:51Sorry to bother you at work.
09:52This won't take long.
09:55I got some information recently that I need to share with you.
10:01I was contacted by some detectives in Colorado last week.
10:05They apprehended a rapist.
10:07And when they looked through his stuff, they found a picture of you.
10:14Eight, actually. Eight pictures.
10:16Ten years.
10:18Taken during an assault.
10:22During your assault.
10:25The one I didn't believe.
10:27The one I...
10:29...made you say never happened.
10:37I figured you wouldn't want to see me, but I...
10:40...felt it was important to tell you in person.
10:44To look you in the eye and tell you I was wrong.
10:48I mean, I've been trying to figure out how I could have been so off.
10:51I wish I had an answer. I don't.
10:59I'd do anything to go back and redo the whole thing...
11:01...to just start all over and do right by you. I really would.
11:11Well, you can't.
11:21There's one more thing.
11:27This is for you. It's from the city.
11:58No.
12:15I mean, here's my place.
12:15I'll try to repair my home.
12:16You can't.
14:16I dragged other files into that one.
14:18Each one had a name.
14:19Amber, Sarah, Lily, a bunch of other names.
14:21Women he was stalking, other women he's raped.
14:25No, I know.
14:26Is there anything that can tell you anything?
14:27Not about content, no.
14:29You got to get in there.
14:30I'm trying, but like I said...
14:31Oh, I know.
14:31It's impossible.
14:32I'm just saying.
14:33You have to.
14:38He's got to get in there.
14:39I know.
14:40I mean, who knows what else this guy has done.
14:42I know.
14:44Well, he wants to plead guilty.
14:47You're kidding.
14:48No.
14:48His lawyer said he wants to get it over with.
14:50He doesn't want to put his victims through the pain of a trial.
14:52Oh, now he's concerned about their comfort.
14:54It's not a bad move.
14:55Depending on the judge, it could really reduce his jail time.
14:59So, straight to sentencing.
15:00That's right.
15:01When?
15:01A couple months.
15:03Take us a beat to get our ducks in a row.
15:04Oh, and he has one condition.
15:06He'll only do it if we drop the kidnapping charges.
15:07Wait, so he'll plead guilty to multiple rapes,
15:10but doesn't like the charge of kidnapping because it'll hurt his reputation?
15:13Detective, if I try to understand every criminal I prosecute,
15:16okay, talk to the victims.
15:17I won't drop the kidnapping unless they okay it.
15:20We'll ask.
15:21Hang on.
15:21If our women agree to this, you'll counter?
15:23Yep.
15:25So tell him you'll only drop kidnapping
15:26if he gives up the password to his hard drive.
15:29I want to know every hideous thing this guy has done.
15:44I hear you.
15:45You're not wrong, but I can't get into it right now.
15:48Yeah, no, let's talk on Friday.
15:50Uh, uh, Marie, um, don't tell me.
15:55Adler.
15:56Well, I told you not to tell me.
15:57What brings you around here?
15:59Uh, wait.
15:59Uh, shoot.
16:01Walk with me.
16:03No offense, Marie, but I was hoping to never see you again.
16:05What's up?
16:06Oh, I need a lawyer.
16:08Uh-oh.
16:09What happened?
16:10No, no, no.
16:11I'm not the one in trouble.
16:12I just need to press charges against someone else.
16:14Oh, well, I'm not that kind of lawyer.
16:17Well, I know, but I thought you might know someone who was.
16:21Well, who do you want to sue?
16:23Pretty much everybody, but I thought I'd start with the city.
16:28Same, uh, you got the same number?
16:31Yeah.
16:33I'll get your name.
16:43Yeah, Don and I went to law school together.
16:46Spend more time on the basketball court than in the library, but somehow it worked out.
16:50Uh, water, coffee?
16:54Oh, um, no thanks.
16:57So, he sent me your case file, which...
17:02By the way, let me just say, what happened to you should not happen to anyone, ever.
17:11Yeah, well.
17:12You know, no one ever accuses a robbery victim of lying, or someone who says he was carjacked.
17:17Doesn't happen.
17:19But when it comes to sexual assault...
17:25Anyway, have a seat.
17:29So, Don told me about the check they gave you, reimbursement for your fine.
17:34How do you feel about that?
17:35Well, at first, I was like, $500.
17:40Cool.
17:42But then I got to thinking that there were other things that I lost because of this.
17:50Like, my job, my housing, free counselors, plus, you know, friendships.
18:01And I know it's, like, hey, $500 that you didn't have yesterday, but my whole life I've
18:08just been like, take what you get and just be happy that it's not worse.
18:17But something about this made me feel like...
18:24Maybe that's not good enough this time.
18:28You know what happens when you decide you're not going to just take what you get anymore?
18:33What?
18:36You get more.
18:41Okay, so I spoke to our victims.
18:42Hello to you too, Detective.
18:43Oh, hey, uh, they're okay with you dropping kidnapping and not going to trial.
18:47Excellent.
18:48As long as they can address the court at his sentencing.
18:50A couple of them want to look him in the eye.
18:52Yeah, sure, of course.
18:53I gotta take this, thanks.
18:54Well, hang on, what about the password?
18:55Oh, yeah, no, he won't give it up.
18:57What do you mean, he's a fucking rapist.
18:59How about he doesn't have a choice?
19:01What do you want me to do, waterboard him?
19:03Can you?
19:04Just tell him, if he doesn't cough it up, you're going to trial, kidnapping and everything.
19:07Detective, I have a serial rapist who's pleading guilty to 30 counts of sexual assault.
19:11Okay, I'm not gonna blow this on a password.
19:13Gonzales.
19:14Oh, shit.
19:14There are other women on there.
19:16Don't you want to know who they are or what happened to him?
19:17Yes, but I'm not gonna risk going to trial with this guy, okay?
19:20See you at the sentencing.
19:38You good?
19:40Yeah.
20:06What do you think?
20:27You're okay.
20:43Hey, there she is, come on in.
20:52I have nightmares.
20:55I am scared all of the time, every minute of every day.
21:01My friends try to help me, but I have a hard time trusting people.
21:05Uh, I can't sleep, I'm in pain, I've lost weight, I've lost work, I've lost money.
21:18I have violent thoughts, I've never had violent thoughts before ever.
21:23You think it's just one night, compared to all of the other minutes of my life, how could
21:28this one short incident make a difference?
21:33It does.
21:37Your Honor, what I really want to do is I want to ask the defendant a question.
21:43Can I do that?
21:44Wyoming.
21:49Why did you pick me?
21:52What was I doing that made you want to come for me?
22:24I'm so scared of doing it again.
22:25Then maybe I can get my life back again.
22:29Your Honor, Mr. McCarthy has other victims.
22:34Ones who weren't up to being here today and seeing him.
22:38They want to be sure you don't misread their absence as indifference.
22:42Because they care about what is happening here today more than you can imagine.
22:48If at any point in the near or distant future Mr. McCarthy is a free man, they will not feel
22:55safe.
22:56Ever.
22:58And these women deserve to feel safe.
23:03The bottom line is they don't want to go to trial, which is good.
23:07Neither do we.
23:10Why not?
23:10Because they will try to make you look as bad as they do.
23:15They already did that once.
23:16Let's not give them another swing at it.
23:21So everyone wants a settlement.
23:23Question is how much.
23:25We have an offer.
23:28It's just an opening.
23:29We'll go back.
23:32How much is it for?
23:33$150,000.
23:39They want to give me $150,000?
23:41No.
23:42They don't want to give you anything.
23:44But that is what they're willing to give you to bury this.
23:49Tell them I'll take it.
23:51No.
23:52Look.
23:52We can do much better.
23:54I don't need better.
23:56$150,000 is a lot of money.
23:59It's enough for me to get out of here and start over somewhere else.
24:01Plus, really, all I need is for them to acknowledge what they did to me.
24:07And this does that.
24:11I'd like them to acknowledge it more.
24:14Like double.
24:19I want this to be over.
24:25Mr. McCarthy.
24:32You treated these women as if they were your prey.
24:36Your actions were pure evil.
24:38And because of this, you have lost the privilege of living in a free society.
24:42I am assessing the maximum penalty.
24:44I am sentencing you to 327 and one half years in prison.
24:48Oh my God.
25:15Fucking A.
25:17This court is now adjourned. Thank you.
26:12Okay, so, confession time.
26:15Uh, I, uh, I did something this morning that I've never done before.
26:19Uh-oh. I'm a little scared.
26:22I prayed.
26:24Shut up. You did not.
26:26I did. I bowed my head and I said,
26:29Listen, motherfucker, you let all this horrible shit go down day after day after day.
26:33Is it too much to ask that on this one day you get one fucking thing right?
26:37And look, it worked.
26:40Hey, did you tell her yet?
26:41Tell me what?
26:42This is it. Right here.
26:44We don't need to get into this.
26:46What do you mean? What don't we, uh, need to get into?
26:48This is the exact spot where Max and I was born.
26:51Who?
26:52His alter ego. Come on, tell her.
26:54I have no idea what you're talking about.
26:56Oh, come on.
26:58I'm going to take a piss.
26:59Oh, no.
27:00What? Come on.
27:02Tell me.
27:05I don't like that.
27:06Oh, that is because you have a problem with control.
27:09Oh, I have a problem with control.
27:12Wow.
27:13Me?
27:14Yeah.
27:14If you don't have every little piece of information, if you don't make all the decisions yourself.
27:19Whoa.
27:19So, I'm sorry.
27:20Can you hear this?
27:21Whatever it is.
27:21I agree with Grace.
27:22I'm just saying, if you could loosen up a little.
27:25Oh, please.
27:26You are, like, the least loose, loose person I have ever met.
27:32You're, like, faux loose.
27:34No, excuse me.
27:37Oh, the shark babe has such teeth, dear, and it shows there are the pearly whites.
27:48What is he doing?
27:49Just a jackknife with old Mac he fakes.
27:54Oh, no.
27:55And he keeps saying, oh, at a sight.
28:00This is where it comes from?
28:02He has done this before?
28:03Every time we go out, it's kind of his thing.
28:07Scarlet bellow, star to spread.
28:13Is it so bad?
28:16That's kind of adorable.
28:18Oh, or is it just bad?
28:20Yeah, I would say the latter.
28:21Oh, no!
28:23Face of the rat on the sidewalk.
28:27Sonny!
28:28Good evening, good day.
28:30Taggart!
28:30Here's my guys.
28:32Even.
28:32Hey.
28:33Uh, interesting update.
28:35Chris McCarthy's lawyer called.
28:37Says he wants to be interviewed.
28:39Says he wants to explain himself.
28:41He thinks it could be helpful to law enforcement.
28:43Are you serious?
28:43We get to talk to him?
28:44No, no, not you.
28:46Just me.
28:47Believe it or not, women make him uncomfortable.
28:57Well, the problem is, you're always a step behind.
29:01You're reacting.
29:05You want to catch guys like me, you've got to get out ahead of us.
29:08Anticipate.
29:09Because we think about this a lot.
29:13And we're smart.
29:15And we're smart.
29:15Smart how?
29:15Well, careful with prints.
29:17Careful with DNA.
29:18It's like being out in the wilderness.
29:20Leave no trace.
29:21It's easier to catch guys like you when they're just starting out.
29:24Well, it's like anything.
29:26You know, the more you do it, the better you get.
29:30That first one, up in Washington, I left all kinds of stuff behind.
29:37Hair, fluids.
29:38All I could think about was all that DNA, you know, all over the place.
29:43All they had to do was compare it to my military records.
29:46I was dead sure they were going to knock on my door the next day and take me away.
29:50But nothing happened.
29:52And so you think, okay.
29:57Okay, cool.
29:58I guess I can do this.
30:06Hey, we got the guy.
30:13Okay.
30:15What is it?
30:18You know, it's all the other sociopaths out there with their rape kits and their guns thinking,
30:27Hey, I guess I can do this.
30:29You can't do that.
30:31You can't take on all the bad guys at once.
30:34We did a good thing getting this guy.
30:37Let it be a good thing.
30:43You got the job done.
30:45Cheer the fuck up.
30:47God.
30:47God.
30:50Okay.
30:51Yes.
30:55One day's burden is enough for one day.
30:58Exactly.
30:59One day's burden is enough for one day.
31:01I like that.
31:01It's from the Bible.
31:03Shut up.
31:04Matthew 634.
31:06Whatever that means.
31:12Do you feel remorse?
31:14I mean, I know I can't be out there.
31:18I wasn't ever going to stop.
31:32Congratulations, hon.
31:33Drive carefully.
31:35You can just pay the clerk over at window seat.
31:37Yes, sir.
31:37How can I help you?
31:38I agree.
31:42Excuse me.
31:42Yes.
31:43Could you take my picture for me?
31:45Sure.
31:46Sure.
31:47Sure.
31:57There you go.
32:01You're welcome.
33:04Parker.
33:08Um, yeah, yes, send her up.
33:15Oh, okay.
33:18I'll come down.
33:37Marie, hi.
33:42Do you want to go somewhere so we can talk?
33:45No. I don't really want to be alone with you.
33:48You understand that, right?
33:50I guess so.
33:52Yes.
33:53So I got my $500 back,
33:56and I got more money from the city,
33:58as you probably know.
33:59I do.
34:07You know what I never got?
34:11Ever.
34:13From anybody.
34:16An apology.
34:19Even I know, when you mess up, you apologize.
34:24When you mess up so bad,
34:26when your one stupid mistake
34:28ruins a person's entire life,
34:30you apologize more.
34:32I'm sorry.
34:37I'm very, very sorry.
34:47Next time, do better.
34:53Okay?
35:13I was really hoping he would give up that goddamn password.
35:16Jason said he'd keep at it in his free time.
35:19He has free time?
35:19Not really, no.
35:22Hey.
35:23Um.
35:25Listen, before you go,
35:27I just wanted to say.
35:29Oh, no, no.
35:30Don't.
35:30Please.
35:31Don't what?
35:32Do that thing,
35:33that sincere,
35:34this has meant the world to me,
35:36woman bonding thing.
35:37No, I was not going to woman bond bullshit.
35:41No, no, I was just, uh,
35:44I was just going to say, uh...
35:45What?
35:49Okay, fine, you're right.
35:50I was going to woman bond.
35:54Cut me some slack.
35:57Never had a mentor?
35:58I hate the word mentor.
36:02Fine.
36:04I won't say anything.
37:10Um, uh, this is Marie Adler.
37:17Marie Adler?
37:20Of course I know who you are.
37:23I hope it's okay that I'm calling.
37:26I got your number from my lawyer.
37:30Yes, of course.
37:34How are you?
37:35I'm okay.
37:36I'm, uh, I'm at the beach, actually.
37:41Well, that sounds nice.
37:43Yeah, it is.
37:45Um, hey, I just, um, I was calling to say, uh, to thank you for, you know, everything that you
37:57did.
38:01Well, of course.
38:04I'm, I'm so glad we were able to help.
38:07You did.
38:10Totally.
38:14You know, the thing is, I've spent my whole life trying really hard to believe that most people are basically
38:22good.
38:23Even when the ones I knew weren't.
38:25I don't know, I guess it just...
38:30Gave me hope or something.
38:31I can see that.
38:34Then this thing happened.
38:35The rape and...
38:37I don't know, it just became harder for me to believe that there was really any good in the world.
38:44And I think that that was the hardest part of this whole thing.
38:49Waking up feeling hopeless.
38:52And I would think things like, well...
38:57If the world is this bad, do I...
39:01Do I even want to be in it?
39:03You know?
39:07I do.
39:11But then, out of nowhere, I hear about these two people in some completely other part of the country looking
39:19out for me and making things right and...
39:24I don't know, more than, more than anything else.
39:28More than him getting locked up.
39:32More than the money I got.
39:34It was hearing that.
39:37How about you guys that just changed things completely?
39:41And I...
39:42I wake up now.
39:44And...
39:48I can imagine good things happening.
39:56I'm...
39:56I'm so happy to hear that, Marie.
40:00So, anyway, I just...
40:04Wanted you to know that you...
40:06You did that for me.
40:11And to say thank you.
40:14You're welcome.
40:20Thank you for calling.
40:22Yeah, you bet.
40:26Uh, hey, you have a good day, okay?
40:30You too.
40:35Okay.

41:43Yeah?
41:45Marie Adler.
41:48Oh, my God.

41:53and she was calling to say she's doing very well,
41:57and that she wanted to say thank you.
