(Female #1) 'Happy birthday, Tim.'

Mom, let me in.

[Intense music]

[Camera shutter clicking]

(Ed) 'Stacy crandall, 17, high school senior.'

'found at six this morning in Garfield park'

raped and unconscious.

Enough ecstasy and Diazepam in her system to kill her.

Is she gonna make it?

By some miracle, looks like she is.

'She's in the hospital. Her parents are with her.'

ecstasy and Diazepam? Was she drugged?

Possibly.

Last seen around a quarter to two

leaving a neighbor's birthday party, looking a little woozy.

Blood alcohol indicates she had one or two drinks.

So somebody might've slipped something in her drink.

Or maybe she self-medicated.

- And birthday boy's a suspect? - 'Tim sexton.'

lives a few blocks away.

Twenty minutes after she left the party

Stacy called the sexton's house.

She was locked out. Missed her curfew.

Her parents locked her out? Are you serious?

- Parents did it to me. - Why am I not surprised?

(Ray) 'Right after she called him, sexton got in his SUV and left.'

nosy neighbor saw him go.

Presumably to pick her up.

Back ten minutes later. Drove directly into the garage.

Neighbor couldn't see if Stacy was with him.

But she did see him make another round trip few hours later.

- That one took an hour. - This time to dump the body.

- Presumably. - DNA?

Came up negative. Ditto the scene where the victim was left.

Can we put Stacy in his SUV?

Clean as a whistle. But I'll tell you what they did find.

A partial print from sexton off Stacy's necklace

and dog chains which matched

the ligature marks on the girl's body.

And sexton doesn't have a dog.

- It isn't much. - Does sexton have an alibi?

Wife says he was with her all night.

For what that's worth.

- Have they searched the house? - 'Yeah. Nothing.'

look, we know maybe the cops have jumped the gun on this

but they're going with their gut. This guy did it.

Yeah. Well, their gut's giving me a stomachache.

We have 72 hours before we have to charge sexton or release him.

When she came home from their party she was locked out.

She missed her curfew.

We couldn't stay up any longer so we went to bed.

You didn't hear her knocking?

We woke up.

We figured we'd leave her out there a few minutes

teach her a lesson.

Five minutes tops, and we went down to the door, she was gone.

Thought she went back to the sexton's

so we called over there and there's no answer.

How does Stacy know the sextons?

Best friends with kellie's little sister.

So she got to know kellie pretty well.

She's not that much older than Stacy.

- Kellie's sister at the party? - Lexie? No.

She passed away a year ago. It was an accident.

Tim and kellie's engagement party, of all things.

Cold medication.

She wasn't supposed to be drinking.

How well do you know the sextons?

Not well. Neighbors, you know.

All the kids are really crazy about them.

They're such an attractive couple.

Are you sure?

Physical exam confirms you were raped.

Why'd you leave the party?

I-I started to feel kind of weird, you know..

- Like dizzy. - 'Too much to drink?'

I-I don't think so.

But..

You had Diazepam and ecstasy in your system.

I don't do drugs. Honest.

Why'd you call the sextons?

I wanted kellie to come pick me up.

Did you talk to her?

Tim answered. I think. I don't..

I don't really remember. I'm sorry.

I thought you might want these back.

(Stacy) 'This isn't mine.'

you were wearing it when you came in.

- A toe ring? - It's yours, honey.

You don't remember anything about the assault

anything at all?

No. Nothing.

Do the police have any idea who did this?

Your parents didn't tell you?

They arrested Tim sexton.

It couldn't be Tim.

I don't believe it.

Why would he do this to me?

This is so bogus.

You spoke to my wife, she told you.

I was home all night.

After the party we went to bed and went to sleep.

Whoever attacked Stacy is still out there.

- I doubt that. - How's Stacy doing?

- Is she going to be okay? - No thanks to you.

She called your number shortly after 2:00 A.M.

I was sound asleep.

Maybe she left a message.

A few minutes after that

one of your neighbors saw you drive off.

Some of my neighbors have..

Overactive imaginations.

Ten minutes later you were back.

Enough time to pick up Stacy and bring her back to your house.

Did this neighbor see Stacy with Tim

when he supposedly returned from this

mysterious late night mission?

He drove directly into the garage.

Are you honestly trying to sell that scenario?

Brought her home to rape with wife in the next room?

Few hours later, a neighbor, still awake

sees you drive off again. This round trip takes an hour.

Enough time to dump Stacy crandall in Garfield park

and leave her for dead.

This neighbor's word against my wife's.

You don't have anything. Either charge my client or release him.

He's staying under lock and key.

[Sighs]

Forty eight hours.

That's how long you've got before I walk out of here.

I know how this works.

You're going to have to let me walk.

(Ray) Turns out Tim sexton is an interesting guy.

Oh. No wonder he knew the drill.

He's definitely been here before.

Five in Iowa, six in Dallas, busy boy.

If he did what the authorities suspect him of doing..

Either he's laying low since he moved here two years ago.

Serial rapists don't usually give up their favorite pastime..

Or we have other victims in Indianapolis.

We've been talking to authorities

in Dallas and ames, Iowa.

Sexton was suspected of drugging and raping

teenage girls in both locales.

But never charged?

Each time he moved away

rapes with this particular m.O.

Ecstasy, Diazepam combo, bondage suddenly stopped.

Any sign he's been active previously in Indianapolis?

Ray's analyzing all unsolved rapes and rape-homicides

since sexton's been in town.

- How long has he been married? - Little over a year.

She's a local girl. They met and married here.

I wonder how much she knows about her new husband.

Don't know what else to tell you, miss chase.

Tim was with me all night.

How much did your husband tell you about his past

before he moved to Indianapolis?

Everything.

Did he tell you he was the primary suspect

in nearly a dozen rapes the last two places he lived?

I know my husband. He would never do anything like that.

He was questioned extensively by the police

on a number of occasions.

- Was he ever arrested? - No.

- 'Then he didn't do it.' - We think he did.

And so do the authorities in Dallas and Iowa.

'Kellie..'

please just talk to me.

Tell me what you know.

'What really happened that night?'

what did Tim do when he left the house?

Tim didn't leave me the whole night.

We both know he did.

When Stacy called, he went and got her, didn't he?

You don't understand. It's not that easy.

How close are we to charging this punk?

Ray's still looking at open cases.

Mrs. Sexton's sticking to her story.

- I think she's afraid of him. - Battered spouse?

Ed's looking for any emergency room visits in the last year.

We'll offer her protection in exchange for testifying.

Her testimony could put us over the top.

We could charge sexton and convict him.

Battered spouses make fragile witnesses.

If kellie falters, we'll have an expert witness

standing by who'll explain why.

I've already made an appointment with Dr. Afshin to profile Tim.

I'll talk to her about kellie as well.

I've prosecuted tons of these cases in Manhattan.

Guys like sexton are cowards and bullies.

I've always taken a personal satisfaction

in seeing them locked up.

I'm saying a hail Mary. You're my sixth stop today.

Here you go.

Sexton, kellie. You got lucky.

- She lives clear across town. - Typical.

Doesn't want friends, family, neighbors to know

her hubby's using her for a punching bag.

Dislocated shoulder, lacerations, abrasions.

Water-skiing accident. Fell off a horse.

Dislocated same shoulder, lacerations and black eye.

Yeah, I remember her. Thought her story was hinky.

'Doctor tried to talk about it but her husband was around.'

'she couldn't wait to get out of here.'

- here you go, last batch. - Let's see what you got.

Female Caucasian, 25 years old, drugged, raped, strangled.

Uh, he prefers bondage to strangulation.

- A little older than he likes. - What about younger kids?

That's not our guy. He goes for older teens.

Cherry-picks 'em all. Dark hair, slender.

This might be one of his.

"Jody tarnowski, 19, drugged

"lethal levels of ecstasy and Diazepam

raped, body dumped in wooded area."

Dr. Afshin, I understand why a rapist

would use a date-rape drug like a roofie.

It's called anterograde amnesia.

The victim doesn't recall being raped

so she doesn't report it to the police.

But the rapist we have in custody

drugged his victim to the point of nearly killing her.

The doctors say she must've been

completely unconscious at the time of the assault.

Now you're talking about something different.

Sleeping beauty syndrome.

Having sex with someone while they're unconscious?

Believe it or not.

How does anybody end up hardwired that way?

Well, the sexual thrill for the rapist

comes from being able to possess the victim completely.

He can do whatever he wants and she won't offer any resistance.

Like sleeping beauty

only the guy isn't trying to wake her with a kiss.

Hardly. Waking her would only ruin the experience.

Okay, one thing I don't understand.

This rapist, if it's the same guy

has attacked a number of women

but he's never tried to kill his victim before.

Why the escalation?

Could be he's become desensitized and he needs

to add greater element of danger to achieve the same thrill.

In which case there's no going back.

None.

Jody tarnowski, 19, rape-homicide.

Same m.O. As past Valentine's day.

Last seen by a friend getting a ride

from a good-looking stranger

who fits the general description of Tim sexton.

Every parent's nightmare.

Raped, bound, Diazepam-ecstasy overdose

body dumped in riverside park, no DNA.

Locate the friend. See if she can ID sexton from a photo.

Excuse me, miss chase. You have a visitor in reception.

Kellie, hi.

I was thinking about what you said, about those other girls.

- I'm so glad you came. - I'm not sure I should be here.

This is probably a really bad idea.

Wait. Please don't leave.

Kellie, you're doing the right thing.

Wait for who?

- We can help you. - What do you mean?

We saw the emergency room reports.

Yeah, well, I'm kind of accident prone.

Only since you've been married?

Kellie, do you really want to stay with this man?

What happens when you have kids?

I just don't know what's going on with him.

He's not who I thought he was.

He's getting more violent every day. He's starting to scare me.

You need to leave him, kellie. Get out of this marriage.

You can't protect me. He'll find me.

I give you my word.

But I need you to be honest about what happened that night.

Stacy called the house after the party.

Tim picked her up and..

Brought her back to the house..

'...put her on the couch.'

she was out of it. She..

She'd had too much to drink or something.

I went to go get her a blanket, and when I came back..

It's okay. You can tell me.

He had taken her clothes off and he was, you know

on top of her.

He was raping her?

Did he know you were there?

I think he wanted me to watch what he was doing.

'I was just so shocked.'

what did you do?

When I realized what was happening

I tried to stop it. I mean..

I yelled and I screamed and I pounded on his back.

He didn't feel it.

He wouldn't stop. He was just in this state.

I'd never seen him like that before.

You could have called 911.

He said that he would kill me.

Kellie..

We will protect you if you testify against him.

And if I don't?

We'll protect you anyway

but it'll be a lot harder if he's not in jail.

So we arraigned sexton this afternoon

for the rape and attempted murder of Stacy crandall.

About time. New evidence?

An eyewitness. Kellie sexton.

She was there during the attack?

He beat her up when she tried to stop Stacy's rape.

She felt partly to blame. She wants to testify.

Good. What about the tarnowski murder?

We're working it. Still looking for that witness.

What's your trial strategy for sexton?

We start with Stacy's testimony.

I'm not crazy about putting her on the stand.

We have to use her. She's young, sympathetic.

Jury needs to hear from the victim.

She doesn't remember about the assault or her attacker.

It leaves her wide open for the defense.

We'll prep her. Any problems we have with her

we can offset with kellie's testimony.

The physical evidence can be argued either way

but we have a strong expert witness in Dr. Afshin.

And with kellie's testimony

we go from a toss-up to a slam dunk.

There's no such thing in my experience.

However, if you feel you have to.

But if defense goes after her on cross

and try to put the rape victim on trial

I want you on your feet objecting every step of the way.

Absolutely.

Why did you leave Tim sexton's birthday party?

I started to feel kinda weird.

Like I was gonna be sick.

I went home, but I was locked out

so I called kellie for a ride.

- Did you speak to kellie? - No. Tim answered.

What did you talk about?

I don't remember.

Did kellie come to pick you up?

I don't remember.

So the last thing you remember, you made a phone call?

Yes, and Tim sexton answered.

And what's the next thing you remember?

Waking up in the hospital.

Thank you.

During the party..

Did Tim sexton say anything inappropriate to you?

No.

- Did he behave inappropriately? - No.

(Male #1) 'Did he touch you in any inappropriate or sexual way?'

no.

You said you left the sexton's party because you felt weird.

How many drinks did you have at the party?

- Objection. Relevant. - 'Overruled. You may answer.'

a couple beers.

- Who were you drinking with? - No one in particular.

Can you tell us when the alleged rape occurred?

No. I don't remember.

Because you were drinking?

- I-I was drugged. - You took drugs?

Objection. Counsel is engaged in subtle character assassination.

Goes to her credibility, your honor.

I'll allow it. Witness may answer.

Someone gave them to me without me knowing.

Really? Well, how would someone do that?

I don't know.

Put them in my drink, I guess.

- Diazepam and ecstasy? - Yes.

(Male #1) 'You sure you didn't take them yourself?'

objection, your honor. Asked and answered.

Sustained.

Can you describe your attacker?

No. I was unconscious.

No further questions, your honor.

(Annabeth) 'You told the police your husband never left the house'

the night of his birthday party. Is that true?

- No. - You lied to the police.

- I was scared. - Scared..

Scared that Tim would hurt me if I told them the truth.

So, did your husband leave the house that night?

Around 2:00 A.M. after Stacy called

'he got up and got dressed.'

did he say where he was going?

He said, "Stacy needs a ride. I'm gonna go pick her up."

How long was he gone?

Ten, 15 minutes.

And when he came back to the house

was Stacy with him?

No.

He said she was gone by the time he got there.

He just thought her parents let her in.

According to a sworn statement you made earlier

your husband picked up Stacy and brought her back to the house.

No.

Mrs. Sexton, in your sworn deposition

you stated your husband came back to the house with Stacy

'who was unconscious'

put her on a couch in the den and raped her.

I didn't say that. You did. You put those words in my mouth.

Mrs. Sexton, you gave a sworn statement.

Because you pressured me. I didn't know what to do.

Mrs. Sexton, you went to emergency rooms

where you were treated for suspicious injuries

on three separate occasions.

Are you recanting your previous statements

because you fear your husband will hurt you again?

Objection, your honor. Argumentative.

- Assumes facts not in evidence. - Sustained.

In your sworn deposition, you stated

your husband threatened to kill you.

Objection, your honor. Asked and answered.

No, he didn't. He never hurt me.

I already told you what happened.

Well, we knew this could happen.

Our expert will explain what a challenge it is

for a battered woman to testify against her husband

and help the jury understand why kellie recanted.

No one can predict what a jury will do

but we have a very strong case.

Thank you.

When wexler calls his own expert witness

to counter Dr. Afshin they'll cancel each other out.

Dr. Afshin can give the jury a profile

of the sleeping beauty syndrome rapist

and how sexton fits the bill.

And wexler's expert testifies otherwise. It's a draw.

Maybe Dr. Afshin doesn't even mention sleeping beauty.

Dr. Sykes, Dr. Afshin testified that

kellie sexton's injuries were consistent with physical abuse.

'Now you reviewed the medical records.'

'in your opinion, are her injuries consistent'

'with what she told her emergency room doctors?'

water-skiing, horseback riding. Absolutely consistent.

In your textbook, you give three different profiles of batterers.

Does Tim sexton fit any of these profiles?

- No, not at all. - No further questions.

Dr. Sykes, you're familiar with rapist profiles?

- Certainly. - For instance?

The anger retaliatory rapist, the power assertive rapist..

What about the outwardly charming, intelligent rapist?

- Anger excitation. - Is that the somno..

Somnophiliac? You're referring to sleeping beauty syndrome?

Ah, is that what they call it?

Sleeping beauty syndrome

is a sexual deviancy involving intercourse

with a completely unconscious partner.

Andrew luster was a notorious example.

The Max factor heir.

Luster wanted his victims

in a coma-like state during sex.

- For what purpose? - 'To possess them.'

utterly. It's a form of playing god.

Doctor, could you give us a profile

of the typical sleeping beauty syndrome rapist?

A man who uses his charm and physical good looks

'to disarm and seduce his victims.'

a man who's used to getting what he wants from women.

So, he's not a loser or a failure with women?

Oh, no, quite the contrary. Take luster.

He was incredibly wealthy, good-looking

he could have had any woman he wanted.

In fact, it was probably too easy for him

so he upped the ante.

Does Tim sexton fit the profile of the sleeping beauty rapist?

Objection.

(Maureen) The witness has already painted

'a picture of the prototype.'

'I'm only asking for the doctor's expert opinion'

and he is their witness.

(Bainbridge) 'I'll allow it. You may answer.'

I would say that he does.

I swear.

I think the little creep was actually flattered

Dr. Sykes said he had sleeping beauty syndrome.

You did a great job getting that in.

Much more credible coming from their expert than ours.

I don't know. Wexler had answers for all the physical evidence.

Well, we knew he would.

It may come down to how the jury feels about kellie

whether they believe her sworn deposition

or what she said on the stand.

Yeah. I feel badly for Stacy and her parents if we lose this

because kellie couldn't come through for us.

Nice work, both of you.

- Thanks. - Thank you.

You did your part. It's too bad kellie couldn't do hers.

You thought this might happen?

Well, I thought she might falter, you know, forget.

I didn't think she'd out and out recant.

[Phone ringing]

Annabeth chase.

Thank you.

The jury's back.

After a great deal of debate and dozens of ballots

we are deadlocked and unable to come to a decision.

I'm declaring a mistrial.

I let you and Stacy down. It's my fault that Tim is free.

He's not free yet. He's only out on bond.

We can always try the case again.

You can't. Not if you've already tried him once.

A mistrial isn't an acquittal.

What are you talking about? I thought..

You thought it was double jeopardy. No, it's not.

We can start over, bring in new evidence.

What new evidence? There isn't any.

We'll keep looking.

We also suspect him in another case, here in Indianapolis.

Eight months ago, a young woman named Jody tarnowski.

- He wouldn't. - He wouldn't?

Why wouldn't he? We know he's capable of it.

He's done it before.

Kellie, do you know anything about Jody tarnowski?

Of course not.

So, you are going to try him again?

Absolutely. This isn't over.

I thought you'd be pleased.

I-I'm just so surprised, I..

He's gonna lay a lot of pressure on me.

That's why we need you to get away and stay away from him.

I will.

It's good that you can try him again. It really is.

I'm telling you, if she wanted him to walk

she planned to recant her testimony all along.

She was playing us to get her husband acquitted?

Her injuries were real. She didn't fake those.

So what gives? "Oh, my man, I love him so?"

Apparently. You know when she set me up?

When I said we found out he'd been suspected for other rapes.

She dropped that hint

I ran with it to spousal abuse syndrome

and talked her into taking the stand.

She created doubt in the jury's mind to get Tim a mistrial.

But why not just stick with the alibi?

That's what I've been asking myself. Why go to such lengths?

Maybe to keep us from focusing on something else. But what?

The guys over in archives finally coughed up

the tarnowski evidence.

Maybe this. The tarnowski murder.

She definitely flinched when I brought it up.

And the medical report you've been asking for kellie's sister.

What's that about?

Stacy's parents told me kellie sexton's

younger sister died last year.

With all the drugs in this case

I thought it was worth taking another look.

Hm, just what they said.

"Alcohol and cold medication, lethal interaction."

Death by misadventure.

Without kellie's testimony

we don't have evidence for a conviction.

We have to retry sexton. The man's a sexual predator.

He's become homicidal. If we let him go...

I'll not put Stacy and her family through the agony

of a second trial not unless I'm certain we're gonna win.

We can build the case differently.

Strategy is not enough.

'If we retry him, at least we can hold onto him'

until we get a witness who'll do a photo ID on Jody's murderer.

We can start building that case too.

We need more ammunition than we had and we need it upfront.

Are you authorizing us to get some?

Officially, the Stacy crandall case is on hold.

Unofficially..

Do what you need to do to nail this bastard.

Thank you for letting me see Jody's room, Mrs. Tarnowski.

It really helps me get a sense of her. She was very pretty.

Yes, she was. When she kept her hair out of her eyes.

And so many trophies. She must have been a really good athlete.

- Like I was. - I went through the evidence.

I wondered why you didn't want to keep her ankle bracelet.

It wasn't Jody's. She didn't go in for that kind of thing.

I told the police, but they said "you never know.

Maybe it was a gift for Valentine's day."

They welcome him back with open arms.

- Some chicks dig killers. - I'll never understand.

Annabeth, he left the gym. He's back in his office.

Guy works out like a maniac.

Yeah, he's got to keep his girlish figure.

Later.

You are being so good for mommy.

I don't know where you get your Patience.

Yeah, I do.

Your daddy.

Just hang in there for a second, okay? We'll be home soon.

I wondered who you were talking to.

'Babysitter flake out on you?'

isn't this

bring-your-daughter-to-work week?

Nanny's got the flu, the vdf's are due, so here we are.

Been there. Babysitters, late nights.

Somehow it all gets done. They grow up fine.

You have kids? You've been holding out on us.

Well, it's no mystery. Got a 17-year-old daughter, Jesse.

She's a senior in high school. Lives in New York with her mom.

I tell you, I'd like to believe she has street smarts, but, uh..

You know teenage girls.

They think they're so worldly, think they know everything.

Truth is, they haven't got a clue.

[Phone ringing]

- Well, hang in there, huh? - Night.

- Ray? - Annabeth.

(Annabeth over phone) 'Where are you?'

(ray) 'Some crummy dive out by the airport.'

I was afraid of that. He may be thinking about leaving town.

- I'll keep you posted. - Okay. Thanks.

Ugh! Who drinks orange soda?

You buy, you choose.

You miss this, being on the street?

I can go back anytime I want.

They always lookin' for crossing guards.

You regret it?

I didn't turn anybody in.

Grand jury asked me a question under oath

I just told the truth.

Alright, I can respect that.

So how long you and conlon been goin' steady?

Conlon's alright.

Moved halfway across the country with him.

Yeah. Gave up the big apple for this.

Sounds like love to me.

[Chuckling]

He always goes for the same type.

'What a charmer.'

(Tim) Hey! Come here.

Come on!

Stop it!

Get off me!

Get the hell out of here. What are you doing?

Leave us alone.

Kellie sexton?

So we have a new take on poor battered kellie.

She likes her sex rough.

The bruises, the dislocated shoulder

it's all part of their mutual rape fantasy.

They couldn't wait for us to split so they could pick up

where they left off. Hot and bothered.

But why the wig? Why disguise herself?

'Her husband likes to rape teenage girls'

she likes it rough, so she dresses up like a teenager.

- Keeps the marriage fresh. - 'Who knows?'

maybe sexton's kindergarten teacher had long brown hair.

What? You never had a crush on a teacher?

Jody tarnowski.

I took this from her file.

Yeah, she does look kind of like kellie with her wig.

- Long brown hair. - 'Stacy crandall, too.'

definitely sexton's type.

Where are we with the idea of sexton in the tarnowski murder?

It'll take some time. Jody's friend moved out of the state.

Keep pushing it, huh?

I'll show Stacy this picture of Jody.

Maybe Jody knew the sextons as well.

Nice job, putting the tail on sexton.

Thanks.

Next time, follow protocol, and check with me first.

Always.

What's her name?

Jody tarnowski.

I can't say for sure.

There are always girls like that hanging around the sextons.

I mean, Lexie and her friends were always over there.

They were really tight.

She got along with her brother-in-law?

Lexie was so excited about their engagement party.

God, if she only knew what Tim was really like.

Were you there, at the party the night she died?

Not when she oded. That was later.

After everyone left.

Kellie and Tim had to take her to the emergency room.

I cried for days.

Lexie was comatose by the time they called 911.

I went back, took another look at the medical report.

Thing is, the me never did a tox screen.

She was taking this cold medication.

She shouldn't have been drinking.

The combination was enough to cause a lethal interaction.

So the family story fit what happened.

Death by misadventure.

I have a feeling Lexie belongs up here

with the rest of Tim sexton's harem.

Look at this photos Stacy took that night at the party.

Wow, that's what kellie was wearing

when we busted 'em. Same top.

- 'What's that called?' - 'Babydoll.'

are you sure?

Yeah. With the long brown wig, a lot like her dead sister.

She dressed up like her dead sister

to have rough sex with her husband?

I think we should exhume Lexie's body.

I know it's been over a year, but..

We still got a shot at finding drug evidence.

I'll get a judge to order the exhumation.

Ecstasy disappears from the blood stream in a matter of days

but remains in the fat cells a long time.

I also found traces of Diazepam, toxic levels of both.

And I found something else

wrapped around the victim's left hand.

Didn't know what to make of it.

I thought the victim's name was Lexie.

"K."

For kellie.

(Annabeth) Why put a silver charm in with the body?

Like Stacy's silver toe ring

and Jody's silver ankle bracelet.

Something sexton left behind to show that he possessed them.

Bet he got kellie to put it in with Lexie as a goodbye gesture.

Sexton certainly indulges himself

with his silver jewelry calling cards.

Maybe he's got more squirreled away somewhere.

I'll get the warrants.

(Annabeth) Match made in heaven.

(Maureen) That's Lexie passed out on the couch.

Wait a minute. Kellie was with him?

She was in on it.

She molested her own sister.

That's what it is. They violated her together.

[Grunts]

To celebrate their engagement.

Jody was their Valentine's day gift to each other

and Stacy was sexton's birthday present from his wife.

There must be other tapes of Jody and Stacy.

I'll get ed and ray right on it.

We have to screen the rest of this.

You do it. I don't have the stomach for this.

- Love you, babe. - You too, babe.

So how does it feel being the one wearing the chains?

What are you here for?

I don't know how anyone could do what your husband did

but you're worse than he is.

Your little sister?

You know what, miss chase?

No regrets.

No regrets?

None. Everything that we shared brought us closer.

Even the murders?

Your husband was a serial rapist

but he never killed anyone until he hooked up with you.

You've obviously never been in love.

- Not real love. - I've been in love.

Love doesn't turn you into this, whatever the two of you are.

You don't understand.

We'd do anything for each other.

No boundaries.

I wanted to give Tim the ultimate experience

something no one else would give him.

Raping and killing your sister was the ultimate experience?

We didn't kill her. It was an accident.

Lexie drank too much that night. Took that cold medicine.

You didn't take that into account

when you slipped her the ecstasy and Diazepam, did you?

Maybe you didn't intend to kill her the first time

but you got off on it.

It was a three-way.

Totally consensual. Lexie was into it.

And that stuff that you saw on the videotape

Lexie was just pretending to be unconscious

'cause she knew that's what Tim liked.

And Jody tarnowski?

And Stacy crandall? Were they into it, too?

Our investigators found the safe deposit box

under your maiden name.

Tell me something.

How did you and Tim use those videos, huh, kellie?

'To relive the experience till the thrill wore off'

and then you needed a new victim?

You'll be tried for your sister Lexie's rape-murder

Jody tarnowski's rape-murder

and retried for Stacy crandall's rape and attempted homicide.

Life without parole.

Times three.

You should have seen sexton's face.

- He finally stop smirking? - Hm. And kellie started crying.

First real emotion I've ever seen from her.

Well, three counts each of life without parole

would make you cry and wipe the smirk off your face.

- Did Stacy show up? - With her parents.

Won't be seeing him again.

Or her.

Hey. Congratulations.

Way to go, puttin' the lovebirds in a cage for good.

Thanks to you and your keen appreciation of women's fashion.

The babydoll top.

When you've got an eye for style..

Oh. Is that what he has an eye for?

Come on now, you're going to embarrass me.

Anyway, you did right by those young women.

- We feel good about it. - You should.

Jody's mother found out what happened to her daughter

and Stacy and her parents got some measure of justice.

The judge even agreed to seal the evidence.

The videotapes they made of Stacy, Jody and Lexie

will never get out.

The last one I ever took of her.

Helped us solve the case.

Lexie was my friend.

I thought kellie and Tim were too.

I feel so stupid for trusting them.

No, don't blame yourself.

No one ever could've known what kind of predators they were.

'Are.'

they're never getting out, are they?

Their lawyer said that they were going to appeal.

They're never getting out. Trust us.

I also wanted to thank you..

For persuading the judge to make an exception.

No one will ever see the tape.

We promise.

Thank you.

Thank you so much for looking out for me.

And for what you did for her.
