View Full Version : CSI New York - Season 3 Spoilers
Episode 301 - People with Money
Mac Taylor's romantic tryst with ME Peyton Driscoll is cut short when they're both called to the same murder scene. Sam McFarland lies dead on the Brooklyn Bridge, a Statue of Liberty key chain buried in his chest and ligature marks around his neck. Across the water, windows in the building Sam worked in light up to spell out 'Marry Me.' The CSIs learn Sam was seeing a woman named Erica Lancaster, but when they visit the bereaved woman and her father, Denny, they learn Sam was suppose to pick Erica up from the airport but never showed up. The ring Sam had doesn't fit Erica's finger, suggesting he was planning to propose to someone else. Stella examines the keys attached to the key ring Sam was killed with, while Lindsay focuses on dynamite found on his tie.
Across town, Danny and Dr. Hawkes greet Detective Jennifer Angell, who shows them the badly beaten body of socialite Vanessa May, who lies dead in her underwear, bruises covering her body and pillows on her hands. Vanessa's friend, Margo, found her and tried to revive her. Danny discovers ten grand in the pocket of Vanessa's jacket. Sid Hammerback confirms blunt force trauma was the COD, and points out a tongue print on her body from a tequila body shot as well as the imprint from a designer LSD tab on Vanessa's tongue. Danny and Angell track down the dealer, Picasso, who admits to seeing her at Prowl but claims her bodyguard beat him up when he tried to approach her. Blood on Vanessa's coat matches a man named Clarence Rome, but he denies killing Vanessa. He wanted to work for her, and challenged her bodyguard to a fight for employment, which he lost.
The Statue of Liberty key chain proves to be a dead end when the owner of the keys turns up in the morgue, an apparent suicide. Traces of prenatal vitamins on lipstick marks found on Sam's face further puzzle the CSIs. Lindsay suspects Erica is the culprit--a patch on her arm to treat a spider bite could contain trace amounts of dynamite--but Mac and Stella remind her about the importance of gathering evidence, not forming hunches, and send her back to the drawing board. An earring on the bridge leads the CSIs to a young woman named Cassidy who was having bungee sex with her boyfriend at the time of Sam's death, but while the couple saw his dead body, they deny any involvement or seeing anyone else around.
A lollipop stick in one of their shoes directs the CSIs to the Lollipop strip club, where they find Dori, a stripper pregnant with Sam's child. She admits to being involved with Sam, but she turned down his marriage proposal because three months prior he'd tried to give her a check for forty grand to stay out of his life. Lindsay has cleared Erica by discovering the location of the dynamite on Sam's tie indicates she was tying his tie for him, not strangling him. The CSIs turn to surveillance camera photos, where they discover a light was on briefly in Sam's office. When they investigate, Stella discovers the shredded remains of a check. Lindsay pieces it together--it's the check addressed made out to Dori, but it's signed by Denny Lancaster, Erica's father. He tried to bully Sam into marrying his daughter, but when Sam rebelled, Denny tried to strangle him and then stabbed him.
Danny and Angell track down Asad, Vanessa's bodyguard, whose tongue print matches the one on her belly. He admits to doing a body shot off her and fighting with Clarence, but not to being in her apartment. The CSIs realize he's lying when they learn Prowl doesn't serve tequila shots. Danny, Angell, and Hawkes interrogate Margo, Clarence and Asad separately, piecing together what happened. The three of them returned with Vanessa to her apartment and continued to drink. Margo, envious of Vanessa, challenged her to a fight of sorts, and the girls began to fight with pillows on their hands. But the gloves came off literally when Margo, angry at Vanessa's superiority complex, pulled the pillows from her hands and began to punch Vanessa in earnest. She claims she never intended to kill Vanessa, but that no one would have believed it was an accident. Danny tells her he would have, but because she tried to cover it up, no one will now. The cases closed, Mac worries about his relationship with Peyton interfering with their jobs. She assures him it won't and he pulls her into a kiss.
Excellent opening episode (just like the other two). Noticed a slight change in Flack's character though - slightly snappy on occasions, but great to see him back!! :wub:
scoop -
Question: Haven't heard you talk much about CSI: NY lately. Spill!— Mark
Ausiello:
We're going to meet Mac's stepson this season, and he's going to be sticking around for at least three episodes
:O mac - stepson:searchme:
I thought his first wife that was killed in the Twin Towers was his first and only wife and she was the same (unless she had a child before meeting him :searchme: )
When three women dressed as Holly Golightly from Breakfast at Tiffany's rob a jewelry store, they leave the assistant manager dead in their wake. Stella quickly determines the death was an accident--the security gate hit the trigger of one of the fallen guns, causing it to fire at the hapless man, but Lindsay notes it's still murder since it happened during the robbery. The CSIs discover that the women escaped out an old air vent that no one employed in the store knew about. Inside it, Lindsay discovers the discarded disguises and rifles. Danny puzzles over the lack of stress marks on the shattered glass from the jewelry cases, and brings in his dog to prove a theory he has. He thinks the women used a sign wave generator to shatter the glass, and he proves his theory when his dog reacts to the wave generator and a piece of glass he's testing shatters, leaving no stress marks. When a young woman is caught trying to get a necklace appraised, the CSIs think they have a real lead, until it turns out she was at the scene and simply picked up a necklace that dropped by her when the robbers were collecting their bounty.
Mac and Detective Angell arrive at the site of a building demolition, where the mummified body of a woman suspected to be Pauline Rayburn, the wife of Councilman Matthew Rayburn, has been found. Peyton Driscoll and Sid Hammerback confirm her identity, and assess that she's been dead for three to four weeks. A cadre of reporters and an eager young ADA named Jeremy Bloomfield are eager for Mac to confirm she's been murdered, but Mac refuses to jump to conclusions. When Peyton declares the young woman died of a heart attack, he urges her to go back and reassess the COD, and she counters that he needs to bring her evidence that will give her an idea of where to start. Mac and Adam return to the apartment to take a computer image of it. Mac finds a dead beetle stuck to the wall. Prints in the apartment lead them to Sal Bavado, who admits he was hired by Rayburn to dump the body, but he denies killing her. ADA Bloomfield is eager to arrest Rayburn, but Mac urges him to hold off until they have conclusive evidence of something more than a body dump.
Adam and Mac try to puzzle out conflicting evidence: the body is mummified, indicating low humidity, but the presence of the beetle indicates the humidity was high. The body was placed right in front of the air conditioning, suggesting someone was hoping to mask the smell from it. Mac realizes the power must have gone off at some point, allowing the beetles to enter, and then come back on. The fluctuation in temperature could have thrown Peyton's autopsy findings off. He shares his findings with her, and she reexamines Pauline, this time finding evidence of fatal blows to the jaw and neck, as well as the distinct imprint of a Claddagh ring identical to the one Rayburn wears. The evidence is finally conclusive, and Rayburn is arrested.
Blue ink on the gloves from the jewelry store robbers proves to be Prussian blue print ink, and the CSIs realize the robbers used the blue prints to the original building to plan their heist. Sure enough, an engineering student named Natalie Letterman checked out the prints from the library not long before the robbery. The CSIs head to her apartment where they are shocked to find Natalie lying on the bed, a bullet in her chest. She was shot at close range, execution-style. Hammerback, disturbed by the girl's resemblance to his daughter, shows Stella red granules he found in the girl's eye. The granules prove to be powder from blood diamonds, unique to the Congo river area. When the CSIs view surveillance footage from the store, they spot an African man who appears to be attempting to sell diamonds to the store manager. The CSIs turn to airport surveillance and records and discover a man named Mosi Gheti flew into JFK from the Democratic Republic of the Congo two days prior to the robbery.
Realizing the remaining three women are in grave danger, the CSIs track his rental car and rush to his location where they notice a frightened, frantic woman rushing to the building. Stella stops her, recognizing her from a picture in Natalie's room. She's one of the robbers, Beth Larson, and she tearfully tells them unless she takes the jewelry up to Mosi, he'll kill the third woman, Dana. The CSIs refuse to let her, and Lindsay quickly agrees to go undercover to make the drop and secure Dana. Armed with a light grenade in the jewelry bag, she cautiously enters the room where Mosi and his associate are holding Dana, but he quickly realizes she's not Beth. Lindsay drops the bag and the rest of the team rushes in, securing Mosi and freeing Dana. A concerned Danny locates Lindsay and they embrace.
I thought his first wife that was killed in the Twin Towers was his first and only wife and she was the same (unless she had a child before meeting him :searchme: )
I thoguht that too - it has to be that she had a child before. I know he met that woman at the end of series 1 but they've never really mentioned much more about their relationship have they??
No - it wasn't even mentioned if they got together or not either
Wow !! NY just gets better each time!
Brilliant with the robbery and the girls - especially using the sinewave device to break the glass. Almost felt sorry for them, for taking the wrong diamond though, and finding themselves on the end of a gun.
Not sure about the Lindsey/Danny thing - I'm hoping they are like they are with each other as Danny doesn't want to lose another "partner" after Aiden, but then I've seen hints about a lot of people wanting them paired *sighs*
But they were so right!! Danny and his dog, they do look so alike!! :rotfl:
Great how Mac and Peyton had a slight disagreement about things, but stuck to the science, didn't fall out and were very mature about the whole thing.
And Sid - he is cracking me up more and more this season (and last one too) some of the things he comes out with, but then I also felt for him too when he was saying about one of the victims looking like his daughter and only being young - he got really choked up at that point.
NY is definitely up with its sisters now - long gone are the days of Season 1 and they have definitely learnt their lessons and got it right back on track :cheer:

all this shipping is making me :sick: sorry I am a hopless romantic at heart but I do prefer a good drama and in my opinion the good old USA are far better at producing cracking dramas than the UK any day so can we just stick to the amazing stories and just forget about all this lovey dovey mush.
I'm hoping that its not going to be another shipping thing going on with Danny and Lindsey as its not needed - they are fine as they are. I don't know why they keey throwing this mush at us when its not needed and now Mac is in a relationship with Peyton, I'm hoping that the hug was literally a friendship, glad youre ok thing, not anything more. Why do the Americans feel like there has to be pairings in all these things - its not needed or warranted!
Still a great eppy again though.
According to CSI Files sources, Stella and Danny investigate the shooting death of Kym Tanaka. Tanaka, a competitive paintball player at the top of his game and founding member of paintball team V-Force, was found dead in a warehouse.
After questioning V-Force team member, Evan Kelneck, Stella and Danny learn that Cyrus Menlo, the leader of a rival paintball team, failed to show up for a game earlier that day. Tanaka and Menlo were major competitors and sometimes took their rival attitudes off the field. In fact, they had an altercation just the night before.
Detective Flack questions tenants of an apartment building near the warehouse where Tanaka was found to see if they heard anything unusual the night before. In true New York style, nothing is “unusual” and no one pays attention to what goes on outside their windows at night. Flack even encounters a woman claiming to have been abducted by aliens.
Mac pays a visit to Detective Flack at the precinct to inquire about a drug bust Flack had been involved in a while back. Several Glocks and a lot of cocaine were confiscated in the bust. Traces of cocaine with the same chemical attributes were found at the warehouse. Mac is puzzled as to how that could be -- if all the drugs were confiscated and burned, something doesn’t add up. Flack becomes defensive, thinking Mac is there to interrogate him.
Evidence suggests that a body had been dragged through the alley near the warehouse in a cardboard box. A print leads the team to suspect Trina Roubian, a woman who has been missing for seven years.
A young man in a hooded jacket, who has been following Stella, turns up outside the NYPD. Stella and Mac exit the building at the end of their shift and see him. He runs. A chase ensues. Mac catches the young man, Reed Garrett, and demands to know why he was following Stella. Garrett was confused as to Stella’s identity, having mistaken her for Mac’s ex-wife, Claire. Garrett reveals his reason for wanting to find Claire. Mac is able to provide some answers, but ultimately cannot help Garrett with what he’s really looking for.
Please note that the above plot details have not been confirmed by CBS, Alliance Atlantis or Bruckheimer Films, and until such time you should treat this information as you would any other rumour. The above information comes from early script drafts and the details of the episodes are liable to change before the episodes are shown. The eighth episode is expected to air on the 8th of November, 2006.
A security guard, Jeff Zegers, follows a young woman who has been shoplifting up and down 5th avenue into the dressing room, only to be fatally shot. Danny finds a dental mirror and burned off security tags by the body, and Adam is able to zero in on a woman wearing a reflective coat on surveillance videos. The CSIs follow her trail, interviewing a shop girl named Marissa Richardson, who their mystery thief stole a $25,000 purse from. When the shoplifter strikes again, this time stealing men's items, Stella realizes they're dealing with a professional thief. The CSIs view the newest surveillance footage and see the woman licking her finger to slide a ring onto it. They get the ring from the store--which proves to be a fake switched in by the thief--and get DNA off of it. Though the sample is unknown, the levels of a drug called propanolol in the sample indicate she's part of a medical trial, and through the records, they are able to identify the shoplifter as Ava Brant.
The body of a Chelsea University college student is found beaten and stabbed in a hedge maze in Queens with exam slips with two different names on them. Both boys, Eddie Williams and Thomas Brighton prove to be alive, and Eddie identifies the dead boy as Brian Miller. Both Thomas and Eddie, a pre-med student who is also Brian's roommate, admit that Brian took tests for them. Mac is surprised when Reed Garrett, the son his wife Claire gave up for adoption, comes to him and tells him that he and Ryan were colleagues on the college paper, and that Brian was writing a big expose on a secret society on campus known as the Knights and Shadows. Mac and Flack zero in on Thomas Brighton, a member of the Knights and Shadows. Thomas claims not to know anything about the article, but admits Brian was a member of their group. He underwent their exit ceremony that night when he told the group he wanted out, and though the ceremony involved a beating, Thomas swears they left Brian alive.
After Reed, who was working on a story exposing college kids helping others cheat on their exams, is beaten, Hawkes discovers radioactive material on a scrap of fabric found in one of the bushes near Brian and connects it to med student Eddie. Eddie confesses that he killed Brian after learning about the expose story Reed was writing. Eddie hoped to cash in on the university clause that gives straight As for the semester to any student whose roommate dies. He also beat up Reed, who tells Mac at Brian's funeral that he wonders if he could have prevented Brian's murder.
Danny and Stella track Ava Brant down, but she denies killing Jeff, something Adam backs up when he finds a sophisticated device that reads credit card numbers from a distance in the $25,000 bag. This leads the CSIs back to Marissa Richardson, the shop girl who showed Ava the bag. She conspired with an ex-con named Chris Campbell to swipe credit card information from wealthy customers and defraud them, but Jeff caught on to their scheme and wanted in on it. Chris lured him into the women's dressing room and shot him. Ava is off the hook for murder, but not grand theft. Stella compassionately suggests the women reveal her past abuse at the hands of her husband, to get leniency from the judge, and offers Ava her card if she wants to talk.
The body of a young woman named Diane Langdon is found dead in a bathtub with no evident fatal wounds, though a bullet fragment is found next to her. Mac discovers a credit card on a nearby table with wood shavings on it and realizes the apartment is not Diane's. The name on the lease reveals it to be that of a man D.J. Melvoy, who had a restraining order against Diane. None of the neighbors know Diane, but one tells Danny he heard two soft pops during the evening. He also gives Danny the name of the guy he knows as the tenant of the apartment: Justin McKinney. Justin tells Danny and Angell he's subletting the apartment but denies knowing Diane. Mac joins Stella at the apartment of Emery and Kennedy Gable, where Emery has been found dead amidst bloody glass from his fish tank. Kennedy, who has been living with her brother since they were in a car accident together nine months ago, claims a 5'5 blonde woman attacked them and killed her brother. Stella goes through the blood glass and accidentally cuts herself with a shard. Though she washes the wound thoroughly, she is thrown to learn from Sid that Emery had AIDS. Realizing she could be infected, Stella goes to a clinic to get tested and starts taking anti-virals as a precautionary measure.
Peyton determines that Diane was electrocuted, so Danny takes a trip back to the scene and is surprised to discover the light above the tub is rattling. He investigates and finds the rest of the bullet--as well as a severed electrical wire, which he realizes was responsible for Diane's death when she herself investigated the light fixture. Danny returns to one of the neighbors, Colleen Ballard, who mentioned a headache the night of the murder, and takes her back to the morgue to see Peyton. At Danny's behest, Peyton examines Colleen and find a bullet in her skull. Colleen, who didn't even realize she'd been shot, is taken to the hospital. Danny and Angell arrest Colleen's husband, Russell, who shot at his sleeping wife twice the night Diane died and was shocked to come home and find his wife very much alive.
Stella and Hawkes question Rebecca Monin, a former hit artist Emery produced, and Mia Opal, an alternative medicine specialist who was performing heat cupping on Emery. Both women were angry with Emery and fir the physical description from Kennedy of the killer, but both deny murdering him, and the evidence backs them up. Mac's suspicions turn to Kennedy, who passes a polygraph but still bothers Mac. A trip back to the apartment helps Mac put it together: countless broken mirrors and glass in the apartment and Kennedy's claims that the woman who killed Emery had broken in twice before, coupled with the car accident confirm for him that Emery did indeed kill her brother. He breaks the news to her gently: she has Capgras syndrome, a disassociative disorder that follows a stressful trauma and causes sufferers not to recognize their own reflection. Kennedy saw her reflection, assumed it was an intruder, and when she attacked her reflection she cut her brother, who was trying to stop her. Kennedy proves his point when she attacks the reflective mirror in the interrogation room, shattering it and cutting Stella behind it. Hawkes tries to help Stella, but she refuses to let him touch her and runs out of the room.
After consoling Stella Bonasera, who is anxiously awaiting the result of an HIV test after cutting herself at a crime scene with bloody glass, Mac heads off to a house in Rockaway Beach, where Noah Hubler has been found dead in a pile of money, the victim of a fatal gunshot wound. The real surprise is in Noah's backyard, where an ark full of both animals and people sits, awaiting the big flood, which according to the faithful is due in on the upcoming Sunday. Dr. Hammerback is surprised to discover a pair of surgical scissors in Noah's body, the remnants of a shoddy gastric bypass procedure. Flack questions Jackie DeMartino, who left several angry messages on Noah's machine, but she claims he conned her out of ten thousand dollars. Sure enough, Flack does some digging around and learns "Noah" is actually Patrick Dent, wanted in several cities on fraud charges. He escaped custody several months prior to his death with the help of a woman dressed in disguise as a police officer. Danny questions another woman Patrick Dent conned, Melodee Costanza, whose boot prints were found at Noah's house. Melodee admits to going to try to get her money back, but Noah claimed to have spent all the money from his cons on the ark and when Melodee spotted the giant boat, she realized he was telling the truth and left in disgust.
Stella and Dr. Hawkes are on the case of a man wearing a cigarette costume found dead, his costume charred from fire, in front of a cigarette company, National Spirit Tobacco. The man was apparently protesting smoking, and the CSIs track down a hookah bar manager he had an altercation with, but the man denies doing anything other than pushing their victim. When Stella goes to the morgue to talk to Sid, she finds him passed out from anaphylactic shock and not breathing and gives him mouth in order to revive him. Stella and Hawkes turn to National Spirit when a cigarette found near their dead man turns out to be a prototype of Spirit Green, a new cigarette with less nicotine not yet on the market. The CSIs question the CEO and are shocked to learn the Jason Williams was actually a National Spirit employee spearheading a unique marketing campaign. A gym bag found at the scene leads the CSIs to Heidi Pesco, a young woman who works at a pretzel stand--in costume. Heidi was attacked two nights ago, and she shows the CSIs bite marks on her neck to prove it. The marks lead Stella and Hawkes to a man dressed in a vampire costume who was trying to get costume greeters to unionize. He got violent with those that didn't support his plan, attacking Heidi Pesco and setting fire to the unfortunate Jason Williams. Stella goes to Hammerback to tell him about her possible HIV status and his potential risk for infection, but he cuts her off and reminds her she saved his life.
When the CSIs learn the money Patrick was found in was counterfeit, they track down the counterfeiter, Jim Eisberg Easman, currently doing time in jail. He tells them he stashed the bills in his car after getting caught, and that the car was sold in a police auction--apparently to one of Patrick's followers. Mac tells Danny that the surgical tool in Patrick's body had given him a rampant infection, causing him to be delusional. The ark wasn't just another scene; Patrick really believed in it. Flack is able to ID Patrick's partner, the bogus detective who helped him escape custody in New Orleans, as none other than Jackie DeMartino. Jackie and Patrick had been partners prior to Patrick's surgery, but after he began to spout scripture, they parted ways. Jackie demanded her cut of their profits, but when she learned the bills were counterfeit she confronted Patrick and shot him. She thought he was lying when he said he didn't know about the bills being fake, but Mac tells her he wasn't.
CSI:NY has been particularly good this season, and the two above sound excellent! Cant wait for them to air!
Illusionist Luke Blade has arrived in New York to perform his three night show "Death Becomes Me," but during his first trick--surviving being sawed in half--the body of his assistant Vienna Hyatt turns up in a box, having actually been sawed in half. The CSIs follow up on a man she took out a restraining order against, Rupert Lanigan, the manager of magic store Magic Paradise, but he has an alibi for the time of the murder. Mac turns to Luke Blade, but he tells the CSIs he looks at his employees like family. He soon loses another member of his "family" when his stunt engineer Austin Cannon is found burned to death during Luke's four-hour stunt in which he is lit on fire.
Stella is able to trace skin DNA off a magic wand found at the scene of Austin's death to George Clark, who proves to be Luke's biological father. She's able to dig up the sad tale of Luke's past: he was adopted by a woman named Sylvia Walker but she abandoned him to the foster care system at the age of six when he showed signs of fetal alcohol syndrome, including aggressive, adversarial behavior. Realizing his final trick will be to exact revenge on his adoptive mother, Mac, Stella and Flack chase Luke to the warehouse where he stores his magic devices and stop him from drowning Sylvia just in time.
In Montana, Lindsay testifies at the trial of Daniel Cadence, the man who shot her three friends in a diner ten years earlier. Lindsay breaks down on the stand as she testifies that she was in the bathroom when she heard gunshots, but she breaks down and asks for a recess. The next day, she's back on the stand, trying to finish her testimony, when Danny walks in the door. Encouraged by his presence, she testifies that she opened the door and spotted Cadence with a shotgun in the restaurant. Cadence is convicted and Danny and Lindsay embrace before heading back to New York.
After reading what happens in America i am pleased that Danny and Lindsay get together, this episode sounds good!

I have read on one of the sites that NY fans are not happy about the romance of Danny/Lindsay. They think it's too soap opera style and would prefer it too be low key.
A lot of people are annoyed at the Danny/Lindsey pairing - many are extremely annoyed that Danny has been reduced to a googly eyed, lovesick puppy who can only make loving eyes across the lab, rather than the mysterious and wonderfully gorgeous character that Carmine has been playing extremely well right from the start.
I tend to agree with them - I don't like their pairing and find it totally pointless.
In the 20th episode of the season, “What Schemes May Come” opens on a pair of white horse hooves standing still in the moist grass of Central Park at night. Black horse hooves oppose, at a distance. Suddenly the hooves explode into action as the animals race toward each other, their riders barely discernable. Then the sound of a violent impact and a human cry.
A homeless man, stripped down to his underwear, is bathing in a public fountain when a helmeted man in Medieval armor, impaled by a lance, staggers over from across the street. The homeless man attempts to defend his territory, but the Medieval man falls into the fountain. The water turns arterial red.
Flack and Stella investigate the fountain crime scene. Stella finds cherry blossoms in the victim’s hair and notes that someone kissed a ring on the victim’s hand, leaving a lipstick imprint behind. Flack suggests that maybe Lancelot had a rendezvous in the park with Guinevere. They later find a broken cherry tree branch and blood in the nearby Central Park, supporting Flack’s theory.
Meanwhile, Hawkes and Lindsay process a hotel room crime scene in Battery Park. The room is set for romance – two empty bottles of champagne, an empty plate of oysters on the half shell, candles burned down. Bob Smith, early 20s, is tied to the bedpost with scarves, an ice-pick buried in his neck. Lindsay shines the ALS over the bed. Bodily fluids glow under the blue light. She lifts a palm print from a window ledge. Hawkes finds a blonde hair on the body and notes that the ice pick plunged right into the victim’s brain stem, causing instantaneous death.
Sid gathers Hawkes, Lindsay and Stella in the M.E.’s office to show them something. The bodies of the Medieval victim and Bob Smith are laid out side-to-side. Sid waves an ALS over the face of the knight. Thumb and index finger prints indicate that someone closed his eyes. Sid then waves the ALS light over Bob Smith, revealing the same print pattern. It is also revealed that both young men suffered terminal illnesses.
This sounds like a really interseting episode, shame we have months to wait!:(
And no Danny:crying: hopefully he is still in the episode though!
In the 21st Episode, “Past Imperfect” opens with the discovery of a female victim in the Keyspan Stadium parking lot. Wrapped in a moving blanket, her face is covered with packing tape and she has a padlock around her neck. Hawkes discovers evidence of sexual trauma – bruising on the inner thighs and lacerations on her wrists. Flack notes the restraint bruises on her wrists, while Stella comments that she must have gone through hell.
As Mac heads over to the kid who found the body, Lil Scrappy, a disoriented man in his late 20s makes his way through the crowd to Mac. He tells Mac he needs to report a murder. When Mac asks if he knows something about the victim, he tells Mac he is the victim then collapses onto the pavement. Mac yells for Hawkes to get an ambulance.
In the Queen of Mercy emergency room, Dr. Marc Berger tells Hawkes that the man who has been brought in shows symptoms of poisoning – his white blood cell count is off the charts, he has internal bleeding in his G.I. tract, his organs are beginning to fail and he’s deteriorating by the minute.
Jesse Collins, 30s and good looking, strides into the emergency room. The unidentified poisoning victim is his brother Scott Collins. Hawkes asks if Jesse knows anyone who would want to kill Scott. Jesse reveals that Scott had trouble with drugs a few years ago, but went through rehab and straightened himself out.
Sid examines the Jane Doe in the autopsy room of the medical examiner’s office. Her face is still wrapped in tape. He scrapes under her fingernails, swabs a smudge of blood from her right forearm and moves an ALS over her battered body. A spot on the sole of her left foot glows and Sid looks perplexed.
In the layout room, Adam processes the moving blanket the Jane Doe was wrapped in. He runs an ALS over the blanket and finds that it’s covered in body fluids.
Stella dusts the padlock found around the victim’s neck for prints. She uncovers a partial and a number on the padlock -- 77 -- and the words “Club X.”
Stella and Flack pay a visit to Club X, where they arrive in time for a lock and key party. All the women have padlocks around their necks, just like the victim had. Stella and Flack observe a bacchanalian orgy in process. Half-dressed couples make out on bed-like chaise lounges, groping each other while voyeurs look on.
Club X hostess Rene Vandervelde explains how the parties work. Women members are given a lock when they join the club. At the beginning of each party, they put all the keys in a bowl and the men pick them out. Vandervelde is able to provide the victim’s name by looking up the padlock number in the computer. Her name is Emily Pierce. She joined the club about a month ago and was last there the previous night. Unfortunately, Vandervelde can’t help with the identity of the man who held the key to her padlock because the keys are selected randomly out of the bowl.
Back at the lab, Lindsay and Danny work on the poisoning victim. Lindsay analyzes his stomach contents -- partially digested cabbage, beets and dairy -- and Danny is able to identify them as the ingredients in Borscht. Danny flips through Scott Collins’ file and decides to head out to Brighton Beach because someone Collins’ got busted with in the past owns a Russian restaurant called Kalinka.
Danny meets with Yuri Svetlof at Kalinka. Svetlof initially denies ever hearing of Collins until offers to call INS and have him sent back to Moscow. Danny also throws in mention of the fact that Svetlof served time with Collins in 2001 for boosting cars and again in 2002 for drug trafficking. This jars Svetlof’s memory. He denies poisoning Collins’ food though. He says he roughed Collins up because Collins owed him a lot of money from way back and only brought him $1,000. Svetlof claims they kisses and made up, like in a fairy tale, and then Collins left.
Stella matches the partial print lifted from Pierce’s padlock against the Club X database and finds a match. Justin Parks. Flack brings Parks in for interrogation. Parks admits to having the key that fit in Pierce’s lock, but the night was a bust. They had a few Martinis, started messing around and then Pierce puked all over him. She said she lived nearby and wanted to work home, so Parks caught a taxi and they went their separate ways.
Meanwhile, Sid makes a startling discovery in the Emily Pierce case. When he removed the tape from her face, he found that her eyelids had been cut off with a sharp non-serrated instrument. The most horrifying part of this finding is that it was done pre-mortem. Mac remembers seeing this signature on another rape/murder five years before.
Simone DeLille, a young French tutor dressed as Marie Antoinette at a charity event meets an untimely end in a mock guillotine as her fifteen-year-old charge, Evie Pierpont, watches in horror. Mac and Stella face opposition on two fronts: newly promoted Deputy Inspector Gerrard refuses to let them move the body because of a request by the U.N., while Evie Pierpont's representatives, including lawyer Luther Vandeross and child psychologist Jackson Pillock, don't want to let them near the girl. Evie insists on talking with Stella and expresses her grief over her French tutor's death. The CSIs suspect poisoning, but Sid Hammerback has to dig deep to find evidence of it once he finally gets Simone's body, which Mac finally has removed once he learns her visa had expired before her death. The coroner finds evidence that Simone ingested a poison contained in a Dendridic Polymer, a cutting edge seal for chemicals too dangerous to be directly introduced into the body.
Flack shows Danny and Lindsay the body of Alec Green, a chef found dead in the wine cellar of his restaurant by the bus boy, Gregory Sanford. The CSIs are surprised when they discover a roach in Alec's mouth, and even more surprised when Lindsay finds expensive gemstones affixed to the roach's back. A little research reveals roach jewelry is a relatively new trend, and the CSIs are able to trace the particular piece to a restaurant critic named Clarissa Evers, who tells them that Alec took the necklace from her and that the roach escaped. She denies killing the chef. Lindsay discovers the expensive wine in Alec's cellar was a rip-off, and a print beneath one of the fake labels matches Julian Feeny. Danny confronts him, suspecting that Alec figured out the wine was fake and called Feeny out on it, but Feeny dismisses his assertions.
Stella matches bite marks on a choker Simone was wearing to a man named Charlie Cooper, but the CSIs are surprised to discover him dead in the morgue, the victim of a fatal gunshot wound, apparently at the hands of Simone. The CSIs soon find out why: a blackmail note Simone received, threatening to expose her lack of visa. Simone clearly suspected Charlie of sending the note. Stella takes handwriting samples from the entire staff at the Pierpoint mansion, and speaks with Evie again, who cries over Simone's fate and hands Stella her handkerchief, which a suspicious Stella tests and proves that Evie's tears lack emotion.
Lindsay recognizes a piece of evidence Danny and Adam have been puzzling over as a nipple marker used by women during mammograms. The CSIs zero in on Gregory Sanford, the bus boy who also works in a radiology lab. When Danny and Lindsay go to pick him up, the find his apartment overrun with roaches. Gregory tells Danny that he found Alec trying to kill the bejeweled roach and attacked him, fatally stabbing him with a wine opener. When Hawkes learns the polymer found in Simone's system is from an experimental drug being developed by the drug company run by Evie Pierpont's father, she's able to link samples of it to Evie's lawyer, Luther Vandeross. Simone learned that Luther had set up an account in her name to embezzle funds, and she demanded her cut. Luther, tired of being blackmailed, poisoned a piece of chocolate the night of the fundraiser. Luther's game is up, but Stella connects Evie to the note and realizes she told Simone about Luther's embezzling. Evie was pulling the strings behind the scenes, and Stella realizes there's nothing the CSIs can do about it.

CSI: NY -- Following the largest drug seizure in New York history, Mac (Gary Sinise) and the CSIs must save the lab and face one of their toughest challenges yet when, in an elaborate heist, a drug lord and his crew descend upon the lab's vault in hopes of retrieving their merchandise.
Season Finale is called Snow Day.
Some snippets:
- There's a drug bust like it's been speculated in a warehouse in Brooklyn.
- Lindsay's wakes up in Danny's apt Apparently he's working, she isn't.
- Something happens at said warehouse and later in the episode we find Danny and Adam trapped there at the hands of some bad guys. And to answer what I know is your first question yeah, they're both roughed up. Flack is the negotiator trying to get their release and offers himself in exchange.
- There's a gas leak at the lab so the building is evacuated. Peyton and Sid are outside, Mac and Stella are inside (and I think Hawkes is too)
A man dressed as a knight is found dead in Central Park, while blocks away a man, bound to a bed, is discovered dead in a penthouse suite. When Sid Hammerback discovers fingerprints on both men's eyelids left by the same person, the CSIs realize the cases are connected. The prints are from a woman not in CODIS, leaving the CSIs to wonder why the same woman plunged an ice pick into Bobby Smith's neck and drove a lance through Derek Kirson's chest. Sid discovers another connection: both men were terminally ill, Bob with leukemia and Derek with an inoperable brain tumor. Hawkes analyzes a blonde hair found on Bob's body and determines it was bleached and the woman it belongs to was using marijuana. Calls placed to Bob's hotel room lead the CSIs to Isabella Cooksey, but she claims she was simply selling Bob's condo for him and refuses to give up her DNA.
Mac rushes to Peyton Driscoll's side after a man in a silver Mercedes SUV shoves her and steals a body from the ME's truck. Danny is able to get a license plate imprint off a dumpster the SUV hit while fleeing the scene, and the CSIs bring in the owner, Christopher Beaufield, the son of a city councilman. He denies stealing the body, and during the interrogation Mac and Peyton receive a page: the body has turned up in the Hudson river. They go to retrieve it and are shocked when the man's eyes pop open. He's rushed to the hospital where he's declared brain dead. A silk hair from a goat that Danny discovers leads him and Mac to Dr. Quinn Brookman, who runs a genetic testing lab. He IDs their victim as Court Peterson, one of his lab techs. Quinn denies knowing anything about Court's odd fate.
Peyton and Mac test Court's blood and discover an odd amalgamation of chemicals in it. The pair realize Court was put into a hibernative state, which mimicked death. They arrest Quinn and Christopher, who together with Court were trying to find a way to induce hibernation in humans. An unusual flower found on Derek's body leads the CSIs to a greenhouse owned by Dr. Henry Croft. Croft recognizes both victims: they were in a support group for terminally ill young people. He tells them Isabella is part of the group as well, and when they spot medical marijuana in his greenhouse, he tells them of a fourth member: Jenny Parker. The CSIs race to her apartment, but it's too late: Jenny, dressed as Marilyn Monroe, is dead in her bed. Isabella tells the sad story: the four made a pact to die together. Jenny killed the two men before killing herself, but Isabella couldn't go through with it. Stella returns to the lab and tells Mac she wants to take a PCR DNA test to determine her HIV status quicker.
`The body of a young woman, her face wrapped in saran wrap, turns up on Coney Island, and as Mac arrives to investigate, a young man, Scott Colson, rushes up and falls into his arms trying to report a murder--his own. Dr. Hawkes accompanies Scott, who appears to have been poisoned, to the hospital where he's met by Scott's brother, Jesse, who tells Hawkes that Scott used to be into drugs but has since cleaned up his act. Danny follows up on a lead that Scott ran with members of the Russian mafia. He questions Yuri Sokoff, a man Scott owed money. Yuri saw Scott the day he was poisoned and got some of his money out of him. Yuri denies killing Scott, but Danny is skeptical. Hawkes examines Scott's body and discovers a small pellet in his leg, which tests positive for ricin, a deadly poison that shuts down the body's organs. Scott only has days to live. Danny and Hawkes follow up on a beard hair found on the body, which belongs, surprisingly to a woman. Danny and Hawkes question the bearded lady at Orion Park on Coney Island and learn that Scott, whose father owned the park, had made plans to sell it.
A padlock around the neck of the female victim leads Stella and Flack to Club Random, a lock and key club where women wear padlocks and men fish the keys to them out of a bowl randomly. The hostess identifies the woman as Emma Pierce, and the CSIs are able to track down the man she hooked up with in the club, Justin Parker. Justin claims that Emma got sick and that they left separately. When Sid Hammerback removes the saran wrap from Emma's face and shows Mac that her eyelids have been cut off, Mac recognizes the signature as that of Clay Dobson, a serial killer who was put away five years ago based on the testimony of Officer Dean Truby, but when Truby himself was arrested on murder charges, Dobson was freed. Mac confronts the arrogant man at his father's architecture firm, but Dobson brushes off his accusations.
Stella learns another young woman, Katie Lawrence, has been missing for a month and thinks the two are connected. Gerrard confronts Mac about not following up on semen evidence on the blanket Emma's body was found wrapped in, and Mac angrily confronts Adam over not sharing the DNA results, which match a man name Martin Boggs, with him first. Stella defends Adam, who has been working on her HIV test results. Adam has good news for Stella: the results have come back negative. At Coney Island, Danny finds a group of boys under the boardwalk who recall seeing Scott Colson--and remember a red headed woman dressed as a cowgirl who bumped into him. Danny and Hawkes find the woman, Tara, beside an arcade shooting game, and discover an air gun inside the fake weapon. Danny pressures Tara and she admits that Jesse, Scott's brother, put her up to it. Jesse has put a lot of hard work into Orion Park only to have his father turn around and give it to Scott when he cleaned up his act. Danny finds Jesse in the hospital and gives him ten more minutes with his dying brother before arresting him.
Mac interrogates Martin Boggs, who works for a moving company and admits to sleeping with some of his clients. Mac, Stella and Adam cross-reference buildings Boggs moved clients into with the location where Emma's cell phone was found, along with algae trace on the body, and come up with the Weddington. The CSIs rush there and discover Katie Lawrence chained up in the basement, alive but wounded and terrified. Mac takes off in pursuit of Dobson, Flack hot on his trail, calling for back up. Mac confronts Dobson in his office and the killer flees, running to the roof where Mac corners him. Flack's back up arrives just as Dobson comes crashing down, landing on one of the squad cars, his wrists secured behind him in handcuffs. Mac looks down from the roof and meets Flack's eyes.

Did Mac take the law into his own hands and throw the guy off the roof?
Its an unknown at the moment Kath although it doesn't look good for him. Its certainly building up for a great finale again for the NY team
A man with angel wings crashes through the stained glass window roof of a church. Dr. Sid Hammerback IDs him as eighteen-year-old Toby Finch, and notes that he died before he hit the ground--his spine was severed in two places. Mac discovers that the cord attached to the harness Toby is wearing was severed, suggesting foul play. Lindsay is able to retrieve video from a camera Toby was wearing, showing him jumping off a roof, and also featuring images of a woman named Jessica whose face is badly burned. Lindsay finds a website, Internetdaredevil.com, which features video of Jessica performing the stunt that injured her and concludes Toby was competing to be featured on the website. Using physics and deductive reasoning, the CSIs are able to pinpoint the roof Toby launched himself off. Flack tracks down the TJ Lindmark, who put video of Toby on the site, but Toby swears he didn't cut the rope. When Lindsay recovers more video of Toby, it reveals that it was Toby himself who cut the rope, thinking he would soar over New York City.
Stella is shocked when Scotty Valens, a cold case detective from Philadelphia shows up claiming that her DNA turned up on bloody clothes found buried near the Philadelphia turnpike ten years prior. The clothes have blood on them from two women and a man. Valens reluctantly agrees to let Stella help him in the case, and she and Danny trace the clothes to a photographer named Erin Yates. They recover undeveloped film from her camera, and while processing the pictures come across one of Stella from her police academy graduation. Stella is baffled, and clashes with Valens, who thinks she's hiding something. Danny retrieves an address from the photos and along with Valens goes to the house of Marilyn Bennett. She tells the men that her husband, Garth, has been missing for ten years. She doesn't recognize Erin, but Erin bears a striking resemblance to a photo of one of her foster daughters, Mindy Sanchez. Marilyn also knows Stella--she was one of her foster daughters as well.
Stella recognizes Mindy and recalls a locket Mindy had with both their blood in it. The two were blood sisters. Valens brings Stella a peace offering: the physical evidence from Philadelphia. After seeing a reel burn on one of the items of clothing, Stella and Valens go to the movie theater where Garth Bennett worked as a projecturist. Stella finds washed away arterial blood spray in the projection room, as well as a bloody handprint with a stunted pinky--much like the one Marilyn Bennett has. Danny interrogates the woman, but she insists she's innocent. The blood splatter is revealed to be from a male, but there's no DNA from Marilyn Bennett on the buried clothes. Valens turns the case over to Stella and departs, and she locates Mindy, now going by the name Veronica Page. Stella confronts Mindy: she killed Garth Bennett, who was sexually abusing her. Rather than arresting Mindy, Stella tells her she'll return tomorrow with her badge, giving Mindy the opportunity to flee.
Mac is under fire from both the news media and the police force higher ups for the death of serial killer Clay Dobson, who plunged to his death after Mac chased him to a rooftop (in "Past Imperfect"). Mac angrily defends himself to both Deputy Inspector Stanford Gerrard and Chief Brigham Sinclair, but both tell him there will be an internal investigation. Mac recalls the final moments before Dobson's death: he lowered his weapon, scuffled with Dobson and tried to cuff him, but Dobson escaped his grasp, locked the cuffs on his own wrists and hurled himself off the roof, vowing, "If I go, I'm taking you with me." Mac is confronted by the distraught father of one of Dobson's victims, who levels a gun at the CSI and claims Mac robbed him of the only hope he had of finding his daughter. Mac manages to disarm the man after he sinks to the ground, sobbing.
A bachelorette party goes horribly awry when the woman's fiance is killed in the men's bathroom after he crashes the party. Even more shocking is the identity of the suspected killer: witnesses say they saw tennis champ John McEnroe with the bride-to-be, Angie Cusato, just before her fiance, Tony Rosso, stormed into the bar. McEnroe went to buy a condom for Angie as part of the bachelorette festivities, and somehow Tony ended up dead, impaled on the comdom machine. When Danny and Stella track down McEnroe, the tennis champ denies any involvement, and he has an alibi that holds up. Gravitational blood drops at the scene match McEnroe, puzzling the CSIs, until Danny uncovers a website that sells the blood of famous people. He and Flack track down the man selling the blood, who gives up the P.O. box of the man who bought it: Jimmy Nelson, a McEnroe doppleganger. Jimmy fought with Tony over Angie and then fled the scene after inadvertantly killing Tony, hoping to protect both himself and McEnroe.
While the rest of his team works the McEnroe case, Mac faces a hearing for his involvement in serial killer Clay Dobson's death. Departmental investigator Natalie Greer goes in for the kill, questioning Flack, Danny and Stella about Mac's conduct in the case. She's quick to point out that Dobson has suspicious injuries clearly not obtained in his fall and that Mac broke procedure when he left a crime scene to pursue Dobson without telling anyone. Mac feels the walls closing in--until he receives a call from none other than Dean Truby, the corrupt officer he put away. Truby leads him to a key piece of evidence: a belt Dobson used to try to hang himself, with Deputy Inspector Gerrard's fingerprints on it. Gerrard covered up the fact that Truby slipped up and forgot to remove Dobson's belt before locking him up--not an illegal move, but one Mac tells both Gerrard and Captain Brigham Sinclair won't look good to the press. Having beat Sinclair at his own political game, Mac is cleared of all charges.

YA!! I knew Mac wouldn't kill that guy.
Flack and his team hit pay dirt when they successfully seize 900 kilograms of cocaine and heavy weaponry from the team of drug lord Gavin Wilder. Shockingly, the drug lord himself is found dead from a gunshot wound to the back. The body, the drugs and the weapons are taken back to the lab, while Adam is left behind to process the scene. Mac sends Danny, who has taken over Lindsay's shift after the two spent the night together, to help him, but when Danny arrives he's hit over the head and taken prisoner. The gang has returned, intent on getting their drugs back, and have taken Adam and several officers hostage. Danny tries to get a call out on his cell, but one of the thugs sees him and crushes both the phone--and Danny's hand. Adam tells Danny that the men tortured him into giving up the access codes to the lab. Danny fakes an escape attempt in order to give Adam a chance to grab Marquis solution from his kit.
A gas leak causes the lab to be evacuated, saving Mac from having to give Peyton an answer when she suggests they take a vacation to London together. Mac and Stella are suspicious when they discover a burner emitting gas from a liquid not typically used in the lab, and their suspicions grow when the find both cell phone service and the lab lines and internet are down. Their fears are proved to be founded when a group of men, dressed in gas company garb, storm the lab, looking for the drugs and weapons Flack's team seized earlier. An instant message on the computer reveals Dr. Hawkes is still in the morgue; he too figured out the leak was a fake. The ringleader, Colm Gunn, notices something is off and starts a hunt for the CSIs, killing one of his own men in the process. Mac sends the body down to the morgue so that Sheldon can extract and examine the bullet. Stella lifts Colm's prints off the elevator and matches them to ones found on a gun near Gavin Wilder's body, proving Colm killed Gavin.
The thugs in the warehouse force Danny to call Flack, and the homicide detective brings a team to the warehouse where he's met by Lindsay, who came to work and learned Danny had been abducted. The abductors prepare to disguise themselves as cops and send the real cops out dressed in their clothes, but Danny foils their plans by throwing the Marquis solution in their face. Lindsay takes charge of the badly wounded Danny while Flack and his team discover gas canisters in one of the abductor's cars and realize the gas leak at the lab was faked. Back at the lab, Mac, Stella and Hawkes have taken steps to prevent the gang from making off with the drugs. Hawkes matched the bullet in the dead man to one that killed FBI officer Candace Broadbent months ago, and Mac confronts Colm Gunn with the knowledge that he killed Candace. Mac and Colm get into a fistfight and Colm lunges for his gun--falling into a booby trap Mac set earlier and blowing himself--and part of the lab--up in the process. The lab secure, Mac decides to accompany an overjoyed Peyton to London.
