TVTranscript
00:05In Toronto's War on Crime, the worst offenders are pursued by the detectives of the Specialized Criminal Investigations Unit.
00:13These are their stories.
00:34Come on, Ivy, stay for one more song.
00:37No, Amy.
00:38But seriously, I have to go.
00:39I have class from Route 9.
00:41You're literally acing every course.
00:42You can take a morning off.
00:44Why, is something wrong?
00:46Is it Rob?
00:47No, I'm fine.
00:49Go sing.
00:50I'll see you at home.
00:50Go.
00:51Go.
00:52Okay.
00:53Can I close my tab?
00:55Sure.
00:57No whole lot of love tonight?
01:00What?
01:01No.
01:05Here.
01:07Rob, stop calling.
01:08I'm not at tempo.
01:12Ivy, if you're still feeling this way, maybe you should take a break.
01:16Go see your parents.
01:17So you think I should just run away from my problems?
01:20No.
01:21I think you need to manage your stress.
01:23Wait, you don't think this is real, do you?
01:27Look, I'm not living in some fantasy world, Dr. Nielsen.
01:29I didn't say that, Ivy.
01:31Come, sit, please.
01:37I think you should consider doing what's best for you in this situation.
01:42I know what's best for me.
01:44And I'm not going anywhere.
01:48Everyone's looking at this all wrong.
01:50I've done the tests.
01:51These wounds were made by something easily accessible.
01:54A steak knife.
01:55A paring knife.
01:56So you think the killer was in the house with her, followed her up?
02:00Why?
02:01Is that what you think?
02:03Come on.
02:04Please, Ivy, help me out.
02:06Why would someone stab this woman seven times?
02:10Passion makes people do irrational things, Morris.
02:14And you'd know that if you didn't spend all your time playing with knives.
02:20Okay, so what is it then?
02:21I want to possess you, be you, so I'm going to kill you?
02:27Hello?
02:29Yes, yes.
02:30Thank you for calling back.
02:32Yeah, I can be there.
02:37Is that your, uh, mystery lead?
02:45You're sure that's what you heard?
02:47Yes, I am certain.
02:49Who else have you told about this?
02:51You're the first.
03:05Rob, what the hell are you doing?
03:06I just want to talk.
03:08You've been avoiding me.
03:10We've talked for months.
03:11You don't listen.
03:12We broke up.
03:13Okay, but what if I didn't want to?
03:20Hey, it's me.
03:21Great work.
03:22I just think that maybe our last chapter needs a bit more muscle.
03:26I mean, I know you're all about the subtlety and that's awesome,
03:29but I think that if we're going to make waves, we need to hit it harder.
03:32That's my thought anyway.
03:33I'll see you soon.
03:48Amy?
03:50Are you home?
03:50I need to talk to you.
03:53Amy?
03:55Amy?
04:23I need to take care of this to find you.
04:25Call me as soon as...
04:42Hello?
04:43Campus services.
04:44What is your emergency?
04:46Hello?
04:46Hello?
05:26Campus Security got a call from this phone at 11.22, but there was nobody on the line.
05:30They sent somebody at 11.30 thinking it was a prank.
05:34No such luck.
05:36No. Ivy Abbott, 20 years old. Dean says she's a third-year criminology major. She's got a 4.0 GPA.
05:43Smart kid.
05:45You talk to the parents yet?
05:46Yeah, they're both academics. They're in Edinburgh for a year. They're flying back today. Ivy was their only kid.
05:53So, what sent Ivy Abbott to an emergency phone in the middle of the night?
05:58Well, her cell phone died.
06:00Uh, here. See if it'll charge.
06:04Oh, great. Thanks.
06:08I wonder if someone was following her.
06:10Well, these indentations between her fingers. Could be she tried to harm herself.
06:15Uh, maybe with her keys for protection.
06:18Okay, so she runs to the phone to call for help, but the killer stabs her in the neck and
06:24then drags her and flips her over.
06:27Keep stabbing.
06:30The wound to her neck would have been fatal. The six stabs on her back, that was anger. This was
06:35personal.
06:37You found the weapon?
06:38Uh, no. Nothing yet.
06:41Anything on a person that could account for this? It looks like rope burn.
06:45No, we just found her wallet, keys, and her phone.
06:48Oh, it's charged.
06:50Thanks.
06:53Hey.
06:56What do you mean you're too scared to stay home? Call me.
07:07Ivy said she was coming back to our apartment.
07:09I was studying on campus till midnight.
07:11My phone was on do not disturb.
07:14When I got Ivy's voicemail,
07:17I texted her and she didn't respond.
07:19I ran home and I found this.
07:22I tried to blow them all up, but there were so many.
07:25Amy, is there anyone we can call?
07:27Can I text my mom?
07:29Of course.
07:39Amy, has anything like this happened before?
07:42The first time there were just a couple of candles, then a few more.
07:46It's the third time.
07:47Ivy must have been so scared.
07:52Do you have any idea who might have done this?
07:54Yeah, I figured it was Rob, Ivy's ex.
07:57It started a couple months ago when they broke up.
08:00Did Ivy ever inform the police?
08:02She tried.
08:03The cop at the station said that it's not a crime
08:05to leave something outside of someone's house.
08:08Yeah, sweetheart, I'm so sorry to hear that.
08:11Do you think this was some grin and gesture
08:14to try to get Ivy back?
08:15Yeah, we tried every other way.
08:18Constant calling, texting.
08:20Guys unhinged.
08:22Wait, you think I did something to Ivy?
08:25No.
08:26No, I would never hurt her.
08:27Well, what do you know about this, huh?
08:29It's got quite the distinctive scent.
08:32Cedar, cannabis, Canadian wildflowers.
08:35And a hundred of these were left on Ivy's patio last night.
08:38It's crazy.
08:39Where were you last night, Rob?
08:42I was at the Madison.
08:43Got there at like 10 p.m. with a few buddies.
08:45Stayed until, I don't know, 1.30.
08:47Came back here with Kaylee.
08:49She just left.
08:50Kaylee?
08:52I've been trying to see new people.
08:53Get over Ivy.
08:55Best six months of my life were with her.
08:56So why did you break up?
08:58I don't know.
08:59I...
09:00She just pulled away.
09:01She broke up with me.
09:01She wouldn't tell me why.
09:02She...
09:04She shut down her social media, started to go into therapy, which I thought was weird.
09:08I mean, she never wanted to talk about her feelings before.
09:11Who's your therapist?
09:12Someone on campus.
09:15Sarah.
09:16Something.
09:20Ivy and I met four times in the last few months.
09:23She was a great student.
09:26Good kid.
09:27And she needed someone to talk to.
09:30Yes.
09:30She was stressed.
09:32Anxious.
09:33Did this anxiety have anything to do with unwanted attention?
09:38A lot of female students seek out guidance regarding harassment, detective.
09:41And unfortunately, Ivy was no different.
09:44Look, I...
09:45I wouldn't normally do this, but...
09:50You can have my notes.
09:53They might help.
09:55Ivy was convinced that someone was following her.
09:58She said that they left things outside of her apartment lurking near her place.
10:01To be honest, I couldn't tell whether this was real or whether it was some delusion brought
10:04on by some underlying issue.
10:06It says here a possible BPD.
10:08I'm assuming that's borderline personality disorder.
10:10Distorted sense of self, intense emotions.
10:13Relationship instability.
10:14Yes.
10:15It's all motivated by a fear of abandonment.
10:17But I wasn't sure because Ivy also exhibited traits of paranoid personality disorder.
10:22Delusions.
10:23Distrust.
10:24And you never made an official diagnosis?
10:26No.
10:27No one.
10:29Considering what happened to her, I suppose I got that all wrong.
10:35Regardless, it would take me more than four sessions to be sure.
10:38You know, some folks go after this stuff with a hammer.
10:42I paint in watercolor.
10:43You know, it takes time.
10:45Patience.
10:47I wanted to help Ivy.
10:49I really did.
10:49But I couldn't report the harassment for her.
10:52Did Ivy ever describe this person?
10:56The only thing that I remember her saying is that he wore an army jacket.
11:11It's so sad, isn't it?
11:13Did you know?
11:15She was my girlfriend.
11:17Oh, my God.
11:18I'm so sorry.
11:21Apparently, she tried to report it, but her description of the guy was vague.
11:24And do you know what they say about stalking?
11:26Yes.
11:26Homicide in slow motion.
11:28Finished Ivy Abbott's autopsy.
11:30The killer twisted the knife inside her neck almost 180 degrees.
11:34You sliced her carotid and her jugular?
11:36Yeah, she bled out quickly.
11:38I looked into those abrasions on her left hand.
11:41There's thin fibers embedded.
11:42I sent them for testing.
11:43Possibly clutching onto an object as a weapon when the keys failed?
11:47Maybe.
11:48I once tried to fend off a subway perv using a debit card.
11:51Yeah, I pretended chapstick was pepper spray.
11:54It actually worked.
11:55Her killer wasn't a stranger.
11:57He had a personal connection with her.
11:59Yeah, he either hated her or desired her.
12:01Maybe he even felt a whole lot of love.
12:04What's the name of the candle?
12:06Forensics just came back.
12:07Pinpointed a proprietary blend of cedar, cannabis, and Canadian wildflowers.
12:12Created by a Canadian company, Shy Wolf, I called him.
12:15And guess who bought 150 candles using their credit card online?
12:20Hope you have a reservation because we're totally booked tonight.
12:23Oh, I'm sure you could squeeze this in for, I don't know, five minutes and 33 seconds.
12:28I just don't have time to do a hearty rendition of a whole lot of love.
12:32Carter Harold, right?
12:34That's you?
12:35Yeah.
12:36Well, seems recently you bought a whole lot of these candles.
12:40It's very expensive to just leave them all in Ivy Abbott's backyard.
12:53Come on, Carter, that's enough.
12:55I didn't kill Ivy, I swear.
12:59You sure?
13:01Because you were stalking her.
13:03Okay.
13:04I left the candles on the night she died, on all those nights.
13:07But I just wanted...
13:08Wanted to do what?
13:09Be your own personal boogeyman?
13:11No, I wanted her to know that I cared about her.
13:13The candles, they were a message.
13:15They were named after a song we sang together.
13:17You're telling me a 20-year-old sang Led Zeppelin at karaoke?
13:21Not exactly.
13:22Um, I was in a room on my own one night.
13:25But then I heard a voice in the hall joining in.
13:27I looked out and saw her.
13:31And you got hooked?
13:34Pulled her address off her ID, went to her house, started taking photos, lighting candles.
13:38But you needed her to know how I felt.
13:40What about how she felt?
13:42I'm pretty sure you terrified her every single time.
13:46See, I'm pretty new to this, so forgive me.
13:50But you want us to believe that you trespassed onto her property, peeked through her windows,
13:55and took some pretty intrusive photos of her.
13:59But then you didn't?
14:00Follow her to a deserted area?
14:02Stab her in the neck and in the back?
14:05Carter, what did Ivy do when she saw the candles?
14:12Answer the question.
14:14We ran away, okay?
14:17She obviously didn't like them.
14:18Shocker.
14:19No, I left.
14:20I went to work the late shift at the bar.
14:23Checked the cameras.
14:23I was there by 11.15.
14:25We will.
14:26Honestly, I wish I'd followed her.
14:27I could have helped her.
14:29Well, maybe it's not too late to help.
14:32You followed her around, right?
14:34Yeah.
14:34What was she up to?
14:37She was spending way too much time at that criminology building.
14:40She had classes there.
14:41No, it's not just class.
14:42It's something else.
14:45Every day she goes to some weird locked room that only a few people had a key to.
14:50What's inside?
14:52I don't know, but I think it's bad for her.
14:56Very bad.
15:01Let me know when you're done.
15:07Well, it looks like a bunch of true crime nerds made a nest.
15:11Poor Cold Case Club.
15:14They're due seminar supervised by Professor Garrett Poole.
15:18What's the case?
15:20The victim was Kat Berman, murdered in 2019.
15:24A student at Queen's University.
15:26She was stabbed once in the neck.
15:29And six times.
15:31In the back.
15:33Exactly like Ivy.
15:42So, Ivy Abbott was studying Kat Berman's murder and ends up getting killed in exactly the same way?
15:49Down to the twist of the knife.
15:51Take a look at Ivy's autopsy and Kat's autopsy from six years ago.
15:55Their fatal neck wounds were caused by the exact same maneuver.
15:59Followed by six stabs to the back.
16:01The only difference was the marks on the hand.
16:04Ivy had them, Kat did not.
16:06You talked to Kingston PD?
16:07Yeah, they gave us access to Kat's file, but they haven't had a new lead in forever.
16:12So, now we have two dead students, similar ages, same wounds.
16:17Yeah, we might be looking at a serial murderer.
16:19Or a copycat who knew the wound pattern well.
16:22Well, maybe because they studied at a cold case club.
16:30Ivy was an excellent student.
16:31Sorry for your loss, Professor Poole.
16:33The provost told us she was in your cold case club.
16:36Yeah, one of only ten kids selected.
16:39Yes, there was an invitation-only criminology seminar for third-year students.
16:43And Ivy was, yeah, she was doing incredibly well.
16:46They all were.
16:47So, you thought your best and brightest could solve Kat Berman's murder?
16:51That stumped the Kingston PD?
16:55It's more of a teaching exercise.
16:57So, you take an unsolvable case and give it to a bunch of smart kids.
17:02And see what they do with it.
17:05They each bring their own expertise, their own point of view.
17:08It's fascinating.
17:09What was Ivy's angle?
17:12Interpreting witness testimony.
17:15And what if a student discovers a lead?
17:19Well, then I would take it to the cold case unit.
17:21But I've been using this one for a couple years now.
17:24And so far, there are no new leads.
17:27But Ivy wanted to find one.
17:29Yeah.
17:29We heard she spent quite a lot of time in the seminar room after hours.
17:34Yes, they all did.
17:35I told them they'd get top marks if they solved it.
17:37And they couldn't take the files home.
17:39The dose files include Kat Berman's autopsy.
17:46Yes.
17:47Why?
17:48Oh, we were wondering if any of the students were taking the pathology angle.
17:52Caused death, injuries.
17:55Yes.
17:56Morris LeMay.
17:58He's an aspiring forensic pathologist.
18:00He was trying to recreate Kat Berman's wounds using various unique methods.
18:07Many budding pathologists practice replicating knife wounds.
18:11It's not weird.
18:14So, does everyone work on Miss Piggy?
18:17Well, they should.
18:18The consistency of pig flesh is very close to human.
18:20Well, funny, that's why we're here.
18:22Morris, where were you the night Ivy died?
18:24I didn't kill Ivy.
18:25I was with my parents here all night.
18:27You can ask them.
18:30What's on your mind?
18:31If only I'd moved faster, done better.
18:34Could have found out who really did this and Ivy would still be alive.
18:37Do you think Kat's killer murdered Ivy?
18:39Isn't it obvious?
18:40Ivy probably figured out who did it.
18:43You call yourself a detective.
18:47Professor Poole says that there were no new leads.
18:50Yeah, well, Poole doesn't know everything.
18:51Ivy finished reviewing witness testimony and moved on to something that wasn't even assigned to her.
18:56Something that no one was allowed to do.
18:58Interviewing real witnesses.
19:00How'd you know?
19:00Well, that's exactly what he would have done.
19:03So, what was Ivy's strategy?
19:05Ivy was really into victimology.
19:08In particular, victim facilitation.
19:10You know, the theory of what makes someone a target.
19:12But nothing in the witness testimony made it seem like Kat was a high-risk victim.
19:15She just went to work and to school.
19:17So Ivy wanted to know how the killer came into Kat's orbit.
19:20Yeah.
19:21Ivy figured the perp was either an unassuming random stalker.
19:24Or someone Kat didn't want anyone else to know about.
19:28Did Ivy find any new leads?
19:30She went to meet a witness the day she died.
19:32I saw the address she wrote down before she left.
19:39Yes.
19:40Ivy Abbott came by here at 6 p.m.
19:43We chatted.
19:43She left.
19:44I was here till 12.
19:45I didn't even know her.
19:47But Ivy thought that you might know Kat Berman.
19:50Barely.
19:51I used to deliver pizzas to Kat.
19:53And where was this?
19:54Six years ago, I was living in Kingston with my aunt.
19:56And on the weekend, I delivered pizzas for a place called Max Doe.
19:59And Ivy knew you were delivering pizzas to Kat?
20:02She saw a photo of our pizza box in Kat's recycling.
20:05Part of the case files, I guess.
20:06And Ivy wanted to know if you ever saw anyone with Kat on the weekends?
20:10Yes.
20:11And there was a guy there with her sometimes.
20:13Definitely a boyfriend.
20:14Mr. Damien, did you ever see a face, get a name?
20:18No, but I heard his voice.
20:19He was annoying.
20:20Told the same story over and over.
20:22So our pizza box was red, right?
20:24Every time Kat took it inside,
20:26he would make a comment on how it was the exact same color of his fancy cottage in Newfoundland.
20:32So when I told Ivy about it, she got really tense.
20:34Said she needed to talk to her professor right away.
20:37Hmm.
20:38Fine.
20:39He didn't tell us that.
20:46Morris, what are you doing here?
20:48I, uh, came to grab some of my research.
20:50Well, you won't need it.
20:51Out of respect for Ivy, I'm canceling this seminar for good.
20:55But what about our grades?
20:57Is that all you can think about, your grades?
21:00What kind of question is that, man?
21:02What's wrong with you?
21:06Uh, I'm sorry.
21:08You're right.
21:09Hang on, hang on.
21:10I'm sorry.
21:11It's, um, marks will be determined based on the work that's already been submitted.
21:16You're okay.
21:17Don't worry.
21:20So you've never heard of Damien Haku?
21:23No, Ivy never mentioned meeting anyone named Damien Haku, and I would never condone her reaching out to a stranger
21:30about the cold case.
21:31Really?
21:33Because Damien told us that Ivy's first priority was to report back to you about a new suspect.
21:40Well, she may have sent an email.
21:42Maybe it ended up in my junk box.
21:44I don't know.
21:45My inbox is a mess.
21:46I haven't had time to go through.
21:47Sorry, this is the first new clue in years, and you haven't had time?
21:51I'm saying I didn't know there was a new clue.
21:53Okay.
21:54Well, that's all right.
21:55You know what?
21:55We can fill you in.
21:56And, uh, so Ivy found out that Cat had a secret boyfriend.
22:01Now, we don't know his name.
22:02Oh, but we do know that he owns some pretty stunning property.
22:07Yeah, a red cottage in Newfoundland.
22:09Kind of like this one.
22:15Were you dating Cat Berman, Professor Poole?
22:18And what did you do when Ivy found out?
22:23We know he took a sabbatical from Osler in 2019, and moved to Kingston to write a book on the
22:29penitentiary.
22:30Same year Cat was killed.
22:31Yeah, Cat worked in a library that housed some of the penitentiary archives they might have met there.
22:36We haven't confirmed it, but after Cat was killed, Garrett Poole went back home and eventually started the cold case
22:42club.
22:42It's possible he was simply interested in the case.
22:45They lived in the same city.
22:46Maybe you read about it in the newspaper.
22:48Yeah, except that now we're thinking that he was sleeping with Cat.
22:50So he's either obsessed with the woman he loved.
22:53Or he's a murdering narcissist who's spent the last three years daring his students at the kitchen.
23:02Who the hell are we dealing with?
23:04We're about to find out.
23:11Yes, I was sleeping with Cat Berman in 2019.
23:14Our relationship has nothing to do with her murder.
23:16I didn't kill her.
23:18I loved her.
23:18You used her murder as fodder for a university class.
23:22I want to solve the case.
23:24So did Ivy.
23:25And from the looks of it, she got dangerously close to the truth.
23:30We got a warrant to search your communication.
23:32And, oh, you were not lying about your inbox being a mess.
23:36But we found this in your trash.
23:39What is this?
23:40Is this Ivy's email?
23:42The one that you couldn't find?
23:44It was sent the night she was killed.
23:46But forgive me, I left my glasses on my desk.
23:50Perhaps you could read it out to us.
23:58I know you were dating Cat.
24:04This isn't what it looks like.
24:05Come on.
24:06No, because you deleted a very clear message from Ivy that would give you a very clear motive for murder.
24:13And let's face it, it might be easier just to get rid of her than to have to track down
24:18and destroy 2,000 copies of a book with a very damning detail on it.
24:23I did not kill Ivy out of some kind of self-preservation because I did not kill Cat.
24:29Do you understand?
24:30Then why would you lie to us?
24:32Do you have any idea how difficult it is to be a male professor these days?
24:40I did not want the fact that I slept with Cat to get out.
24:44Okay?
24:44It's not because I killed her.
24:45It's because I would be ruined.
24:47I'd be canceled.
24:48I would lose everything.
24:49Yeah, but Ivy still knew.
24:51So what'd you do?
24:55Go after her?
24:56Yeah, your office is very, very close to where she was killed.
24:59Yeah, but I wasn't at my office.
25:00Where were you?
25:01I was with a colleague at her office.
25:03Who?
25:03Sarah Nielsen.
25:05I'm working with her on my new book.
25:06I was with her from 9.30 to midnight.
25:10Sarah Nielsen, the campus therapist.
25:12Did you know that Sarah was treating Ivy?
25:17I mean...
25:21Yes.
25:23How?
25:26Because I introduced them.
25:30Do you handpick all your students' therapists?
25:36Maybe you got your pal to talk to Ivy for the same reason you trashed that email.
25:42Because you didn't want the world to know that you and Ivy were also in a sexual relationship.
25:48That would make you two for two.
25:50It's two relationships, two students.
25:53Both.
25:53Yeah.
25:55Ivy never told me that she and Garrett Poole were sleeping together.
25:58I'd have to report that.
25:59Even though you're friends.
26:00I think it's that way friendship detectives, so do morals.
26:04And the night Ivy was killed.
26:07Well, Garrett was with me in my office till well after midnight.
26:09We were working on his new book.
26:11Whatever was happening with Ivy, Garrett's telling the truth about that night.
26:16That's helpful, Sarah.
26:18Did forensics come back on those fibers in Ivy's hand?
26:22I was just about to call you.
26:23They're from a cord used in retractable keycard fobs.
26:27What?
26:28Like the one Poole used to let us into his office?
26:30It looked long enough to wrap around Ivy's hand and cause rope burn.
26:34I knew we shouldn't have let him go.
26:35Now, the man had an alibi.
26:37It was verified.
26:38But if you find the cord, I can test it for Ivy's DNA.
26:42Thanks, Lucy.
26:43Stand by.
26:45Okay, you two.
26:46We need to be very strategic here because whether or not there's DNA on that cord...
26:51Poole's alibi still stands.
26:53However, in my experience, even the most bulletproof of alibis will weaken when faced with a fear of obstructing justice.
27:00So, if we tell ethical, moral Sarah that we've got something against Poole, she might bend.
27:06And if you gild the Lily by showing her a little more of the horror of the crime she's covering
27:12up...
27:12She might break.
27:15And you, uh, put a spin team on Poole.
27:18Nothing I'd rather do.
27:19Go break that alibi.
27:23Garrett.
27:25Thank God they released you.
27:26You okay?
27:27Yeah, I'm fine.
27:28I'm fine.
27:29Thanks for talking to the cops.
27:31You're a lifesaver.
27:35Um...
27:36Garrett.
27:38Yeah?
27:38Is there anything that you want to tell me?
27:41About what?
27:42About Ivy.
27:45Garrett, I just lied for you.
27:47Hey.
27:50You know I didn't hurt her.
27:52Right?
27:53You know that.
27:54Of course you didn't.
27:56But...
27:57But nothing.
27:57Why should we give some myopic cops any window of opportunity to pin this on me?
28:03I left your office.
28:04I was out walking around the campus.
28:06Just...
28:07Just processing all these great ideas that you had for the last chapter, you know?
28:13You're amazing.
28:14You know that, right?
28:15Oh, stop.
28:15God, I'm so lucky to have you.
28:18I'm so lucky to have you.
28:19What do you mean?
28:20I mean...
28:22You're loyal and you're...
28:25You're faithful and...
28:28You're so smart.
28:30It's just pure.
28:32There's no silliness.
28:33There's no messy feelings getting in the way.
28:42Why are you showing me these?
28:44Because we believe your friend Garrett Poole did that to Ivy Abbott.
28:48That's...
28:49That's impossible.
28:49I told you that we were together.
28:51It's amazing what people will do to protect a friend.
28:59What do you have in your pocket?
29:01Come on, show me.
29:07Okay, so...
29:08You're by yourself.
29:09It's nighttime.
29:11Someone's following you.
29:12Out of all of this, what do you use to defend yourself?
29:17So, they have a knife.
29:20You have a pen.
29:22I mean, compared to you, right now,
29:24Ivy was lucky.
29:25She had her keys on her.
29:27Intertwined them between her fingers
29:29in the hope that she could take a swing and then run.
29:31But she didn't.
29:32Because someone stabbed her in the side of the neck
29:35before she got the chance.
29:37Why would Garrett do this?
29:39Well, Ivy learned that there was another student
29:41he was involved with who also wound up dead.
29:45Cat Berman six years ago.
29:46There were more.
29:48I knew about Ivy.
29:49Why, you knew that Poole was sleeping with Ivy.
29:53Why are you wasting our time?
29:56Okay.
29:58Ivy told me.
30:00I was horrified, but I couldn't always trust what she said.
30:04I told her it wasn't appropriate,
30:06and she told me that she was too scared to break up with him.
30:10Now, I could never imagine Garrett threatening a woman.
30:12Oh, this looks more than a threat, doesn't it?
30:16Garrett wouldn't hurt anyone.
30:17Come on, Sarah.
30:19Predators don't just hide in the shadows.
30:21They are in nice offices, in nice homes,
30:25in positions of power.
30:27And you are enabling her.
30:31Why?
30:33I didn't want Garrett to be ruined.
30:36What if Garrett was telling the truth?
30:38What if Ivy was lying?
30:41But she wasn't.
30:42So don't lie for him.
30:51Garrett was in my office with me until 11 p.m.
30:57I'm sorry.
30:58I never thought that he could do something like this.
31:01So when he asked me to say that we were together until midnight,
31:05I said, okay.
31:09Detectives, where are you?
31:13Spin team just called.
31:14Poole is on move.
31:15He's got a suitcase with him.
31:17I'll deal with Sarah.
31:18You go.
31:24There he is.
31:26We need his key fob.
31:28Dr. Poole!
31:30Garrett Poole!
31:32Police!
31:32Stop!
31:37What the hell is going on here?
31:39I didn't do anything.
31:40We'll see about that.
31:41Garrett Poole, you're under arrest for the murder of Ivy Abbott.
31:53I was headed to Union Station.
31:55I'm catching a train to go to Hudson Valley to see a friend.
31:58I'm not guilty of anything.
32:00Well, the jury's out on that.
32:01But we'll have a clearer picture once forensics comes back with the key fob.
32:05You see, we believe it was the last thing that Ivy Abbott grabbed for before she died.
32:11You knew it was only a matter of time before Ivy outed you as Kat's killer,
32:15so you got rid of her to save yourself.
32:18I didn't kill Ivy.
32:19I didn't kill Kat.
32:20I told you.
32:21I love them, both of them.
32:22You preyed on two young students, and both have ended up dead.
32:27Is that the results?
32:29The DNA test?
32:30What does it say?
32:32What does it say?
32:38Negative for Ivy's DNA.
32:40Yeah, I told you.
32:42I told you.
32:43I didn't kill anyone.
32:44Then why did you ask a colleague to fabricate an alibi for you?
32:48I didn't ask her to do that.
32:50It was her idea.
32:52So she just came up with this whole plan all by herself.
32:56Why?
32:56Sarah is a friend, okay?
32:59She's a close friend.
33:01She adores me.
33:02She'd do anything for me.
33:03So when we found out that Ivy was killed, a student we both knew,
33:08Sarah suggested that we just say that we were together, you know, just to keep things tidy.
33:14So one more time, where were you?
33:17At 11 o'clock, I went out for a walk, and Sarah stayed behind and worked on my edits.
33:27Leaving you both alone and unaccounted for at the time of Ivy Abbott's murder.
33:33Let's get Sarah's interview up.
33:35Yep, I'm on it.
33:39What do you have in your pockets?
33:42I'm gonna show you.
33:45Okay, so you're alone.
33:47It's nighttime.
33:55The white key card.
33:57It's not the official blue one the rest of the staff have.
34:00It's temporary.
34:01And she tried to hide it, which means she got rid of her official card and the fob that went
34:05with it.
34:06And as Poole said, she adores him.
34:10She'd do anything to help him.
34:13Sarah Nielsen was inside Ivy's head.
34:15Yeah, she knew she could kill Ivy and point the finger at any number of people in Ivy's life.
34:20He even pointed you two toward a stalker.
34:22And all the while, she was covering for Poole, which also gave herself an alibi.
34:26That's some fancy footwork.
34:27But then for some reason, she decided to throw Poole under the bus.
34:31Why?
34:31Well, because we offered him up as a patsy.
34:34And if Sarah's smart, the only piece of hard evidence that we hope to test is long gone.
34:40Finding that fob wouldn't help.
34:43Well, I'm Sarah's defense lawyer.
34:44First thing I'd say, everyone at Osler has that fob.
34:4930,000 people could be your killer.
34:51I like this game.
34:52Okay.
34:53Well, what would you say if I said to you, your client has no alibi?
34:56She was in her office.
34:58Working.
34:59The therapist's offices don't have cameras.
35:01I checked.
35:02Thank you, counsel.
35:03But I have the floor.
35:04Oh.
35:06You don't have my client's prints on the murder weapon because you don't have a murder weapon.
35:11No sign of her on CCTV.
35:12At least not a recognizable Sarah.
35:14Okay, but what is a recognizable Sarah?
35:17The woman is a cipher.
35:19I don't think I've seen the real Sarah this entire time.
35:22This, this could be the real Sarah.
35:25Now, this is Poole's one big book, right?
35:27Got him tenure.
35:28But it doesn't read like his earlier papers.
35:31Listen to this language.
35:32As Anna Freud posited in 1936, defense mechanisms operate unconsciously to protect the ego.
35:37Repression, rejection, sublimation, displacement.
35:40Sigmund Freud swung at these conditions with a hammer.
35:44But Anna Freud believed in time, layers, and patience.
35:47She unpacked these emotions with care and painted them with a watercolor brush.
35:52That's exactly what Sarah said just when we first met.
35:55But you think that's her research?
35:58You think she gave it all to Poole?
36:00Romantic, isn't it?
36:00It certainly is.
36:02And that's how we break her.
36:05Thanks for meeting me here, Sarah.
36:08How are you feeling?
36:10I'm a little stunned.
36:11I, I can't believe that Garrett said it was my idea to lie about his alibi.
36:15Yeah, well, we saw right through that.
36:17Well, I'm just glad that you caught him.
36:19Yeah.
36:20But it's not over yet.
36:22We still have to put him behind bars.
36:24And there are aspects of both Ivy and Kat's cases that we just still don't understand.
36:31So, hoping you can help.
36:33Well, I don't know Kat.
36:35Oh, that's okay.
36:36Kat's murder was almost exactly like Ivy's.
36:39And, you know, Ivy, you know Garrett.
36:40I mean, you're the expert here, not me.
36:43I mean, I'm, I'm so curious about your perspective.
36:46Hmm.
36:46I, I've already told you everything I know.
36:49Facts.
36:50Yeah, but I'm looking for feelings.
36:52And you were practically inside their heads.
36:55I mean, you were Ivy's therapist and Garrett's muse.
36:59What do you mean Garrett's muse?
37:02Oh, Sarah, I, I read his book.
37:06Those chapters on defense mechanisms, impulsivity, emotional dysregulation.
37:10And that was all you.
37:12No, no, no, no, no, no.
37:14It wasn't all me.
37:15We worked, we worked together.
37:16On your ideas?
37:17Well, I wanted to help him.
37:19Yeah.
37:19Like you helped him with his alibi?
37:24Hey, it's okay.
37:25I know it's not your fault.
37:27I think that Garrett was able to get away with these murders because he manipulated his victims.
37:32You included.
37:34This guy was very careful.
37:36No, no, there's careful and then there's controlling.
37:38What do you mean?
37:39While Ivy mentioned that Garrett asked to track her phone, that's why she was so scared.
37:44Wow.
37:45He liked to lead in relationships, to have the upper hand.
37:47Oh, was he like that with you too, in your relationship?
37:51Well, Garrett and I are, we're just friends.
37:55Really?
37:57Sarah, come on.
37:58I can tell when a woman is in love.
38:02Garrett knew how you felt and he took advantage of that?
38:05What are you suggesting?
38:07That I'm weak?
38:08No, God, no.
38:10No, I've, uh, I've been there myself.
38:15Huh.
38:16My rookie year, I fell absolutely head over heels with a guy that I worked with.
38:22I became obsessed.
38:24I memorized his schedule.
38:26I followed him around.
38:27I would make excuses to work together.
38:29Did he like you back?
38:31He liked my work.
38:33He liked it so much that sometimes he would claim it as his own.
38:41Yeah, eventually he did, um, he did want more than just my work.
38:46So he did like you back?
38:47Mm-hmm.
38:47Yeah.
38:49But, uh, he didn't like me enough to get serious, because, uh, it turns out he was married the entire
38:56time.
38:57Oh.
38:58And I wanted a kid.
39:00I wanted a family.
39:02That's terrible.
39:03At least Garrett isn't married.
39:05Huh.
39:07No.
39:09He is otherwise engaged.
39:11He spends his time on frivolous things, but gives you just enough to hang on.
39:17Kind words, empty promises, and all the while, your time marches on.
39:20Your window is closing.
39:22I have always had feelings for Garrett.
39:25Mm-hmm.
39:26But he, he said that we shouldn't cross the line, that we are, we're colleagues.
39:31But he crosses the line with his students.
39:33But that's none of my business, and, and I have, I have accepted that we are just friends.
39:37No, friends don't steal their friends' work.
39:39Friends don't use their friends to try to cover up their affairs with students.
39:44And friends don't blame their friends for their crimes.
39:50Or maybe they do.
39:53See, I think you might be doing exactly that to Garrett.
39:58What are you talking about?
40:00Sarah, how would you define projection?
40:04It's when someone attributes their own undesirable feelings, thoughts, and behaviors to somebody else.
40:09Okay, so like when you suggested that Ivy was borderline with a touch of paranoid personality disorder,
40:15intense emotions, fear of abandonment, impulsivity, delusions?
40:19I am not delusional, detective, and I, I actually, I've done nothing but try to help you.
40:26Yeah.
40:27Well, you've been very helpful.
40:29When you wanted me to trust you, and like you, you told me everything I wanted to hear.
40:34But I've read your notes.
40:36And I made some of my own, and I think...
40:39All those things you were saying about Ivy, you were really talking about yourself.
40:47Sarah, stop.
40:48No, no, no, no, no, no.
40:49I'm done here.
40:50From the moment that I walked into that office, you've been trying to manipulate me.
40:53And now you are trying to turn the tables with anger and contempt, and it's not gonna work.
40:58Was that your attempt at empathizing in there?
41:00At relating?
41:01God, you are so out of your depth.
41:03You should be embarrassed.
41:04You're projecting again.
41:06You've been carrying a torch for that man for ten years.
41:09Ten years of him stealing your work, tossing you scraps while he screws his students.
41:15And you know it's shameful, and you still can't stop.
41:18I don't need Garrett.
41:19No, you don't, but you want him.
41:21You want him fully and forever, and you know he wants you too.
41:24He just needed a little nudge.
41:26You know that one day he is gonna wake up and look at you and see what is right in
41:31front of him, what's been here all along.
41:33You just needed those girls to get out of the way.
41:36Their baubles.
41:37Their trinkets.
41:38You.
41:39You are the real thing.
41:43So you stabbed Kat outside her house.
41:46You tracked Ivy's phone, and you killed her.
41:49No, no, you have no proof.
41:51I know that you threw away your key card.
41:54And Ivy was smart.
41:56She grabbed it, didn't she?
41:57As she was dying, because in her last moment, she wanted to leave a trace.
42:01Someone stop her.
42:02Someone please stop this monster.
42:04Ivy, Ivy was a child, okay?
42:06An idiotic fool.
42:07And she thought that Garrett was gonna, what, leave his job and marry her?
42:11I tried to play nice.
42:12How?
42:13I told her to leave.
42:14I said leave town.
42:15But she, she stuck around.
42:17She didn't listen.
42:17Garrett didn't listen either?
42:18No, he never does.
42:19I, I, I don't know what I have to do.
42:20And that's why you threw him under the bus.
42:22To make him listen.
42:23To make him yours.
42:25Yes.
42:26Yes, because then, then it would finally be me and him, and I would stand by him, and
42:31I would visit him, and, and when he got out of prison, he would know who, he would
42:35know who really loved him.
42:42I wonder if he's gonna visit you.
42:59You okay?
43:01You okay?
43:02I think I used a bit more hammer than I did watercolor.
43:07Well, whatever the tool, you still painted our killer into a corner.
43:14It's never easy to corner another woman.
43:41It's never easy to corner another woman.
43:42You okay?
43:46You okay?
43:52And I was gonna see you.
43:55having a red one.
