Ep 14. Carrie's Caller

Carrie's Caller is the fourteenth episode of the first season of the crime drama television series, Unforgettable. The episode originally aired on January 10, 2012, on CBS, and chronicles the investigation by the New York Police Department (NYPD) homicide detective, Carrie Wells, into the serial killer who has resurfaced after two decades. While the other cops are skeptical about Carrie's psychic abilities, she uses her exceptional memory to solve the crimes.

As the episode opens, Carrie receives a phone call from an anonymous man who claims that he has information about the killer Carrie has been hunting for two decades. As soon as the call ends, Carrie and Al Burns, a detective in the Major Crimes Section of the New York City Police Department, track down the location of the call, but find nothing. They discover that the caller seems to know everything about Carrie's life, including her daily routine, her favorite coffee, and most importantly, her memories of her late sister.

As Carrie tries to investigate the caller, she starts to have flashbacks of her sister's death, and relives the traumatic incident. From the clues given to her on the phone, she suspects that the killer may have some connection to her past and her sister's death. Meanwhile, the NYPD receives news of another victim killed in a way that is eerily similar to the older cases. Carrie decides to join the investigation team and tracks down leads that link her sister's death to the present killings, and the phone call.

While the team tries to identify the caller, they receive a barrage of tips from the public. The tips lead them to a man named Cohen, who is recently released from prison for the murder of a young woman. However, they soon realize that Cohen is not the killer since the murders still continue after his arrest.

As the NYPD's hunt for the killer intensifies, Carrie receives another phone call from the anonymous caller, who warns her that he is getting closer to her. Carrie starts to feel helpless and violated, but refuses to let the caller intimidate her. Using her memory and exceptional detective skills, she finally tracks down the identity of the caller and the killer.

In conclusion, Carrie's Caller is a gripping episode that keeps the audience at the edge of their seats throughout. With Carrie's exceptional memory and detective skills, she manages to solve the case that has been haunting her for two decades. The episode highlights the emotional toll that such long-running cases can take on the detectives who work them, especially when they connect to past traumas. It also showcases the power of persistence and the importance of teamwork in solving crimes.
