00:00:14,480 --> 00:00:15,200
Good evening. Hi.

2
00:00:17,963 --> 00:00:19,197
That was nice.

3
00:00:20,060 --> 00:00:21,890
I had such a beautiful time tonight.

4
00:00:22,940 --> 00:00:24,110
Eight years.

5
00:00:24,590 --> 00:00:26,270
People said we wouldn't last.

6
00:00:28,340 --> 00:00:30,140
Happy anniversary, baby. Happy anniversary.

7
00:00:30,498 --> 00:00:32,366
( distant dog barking )

8
00:00:50,660 --> 00:00:51,770
Two victims.

9
00:00:52,790 --> 00:00:56,180
She's on the sidewalk, a foot from the curb and he's in the middle of the street.

10
00:00:57,800 --> 00:00:59,000
What's missing here?

11
00:01:00,970 --> 00:01:01,690
No car.

12
00:01:02,530 --> 00:01:05,770
No mercy. This guy's stabbed at least five times.

13
00:01:06,850 --> 00:01:10,840
Got some reddish hair. Vic's hair is brown. What do we got?

14
00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:14,770
They had dinner at Andre's. Coroner's assistant has his wallet with the credit card receipt.

15
00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:19,480
They didn't bother to valet. Saved five bucks, cost them their lives. Carjacking gone bad.

16
00:01:19,780 --> 00:01:22,150
Carjackers don't use knives. Never?

17
00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:27,520
They used to say, "Never on Sunday." Then Pearl Harbor happened. I never say, "Never."

18
00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:43,810
Oh, man... We got three minutes to process this crime scene! After that, we lose it all to the gutters.

19
00:01:44,170 --> 00:01:47,980
Sarah, take over-alls. Warrick, put a cone down on everything you bag.

20
00:01:48,250 --> 00:01:50,110
Nick, we got to get these bodies into the van.

21
00:01:51,550 --> 00:01:53,320
Pick the jacket up! Let's go!

22
00:01:53,830 --> 00:01:56,260
Bring me a body bag. I want to cover this woman!

23
00:01:57,430 --> 00:02:01,111
Can we get another gurney? I need another gurney. Load this up!

24
00:02:01,410 --> 00:02:05,430
Let's go, let's go! Okay, I've got it. All right, let's get him out. Come on, come on! Hurry up!

25
00:02:06,835 --> 00:02:11,940
( shouting ) Get the plastic on! We're losing everything.

26
00:02:14,580 --> 00:02:17,670
Yeah... our killer got lucky tonight.

27
00:02:25,391 --> 00:02:28,828

Well, rain screwed up all our chances of a good DNA profile.

32
00:03:07,860 --> 00:03:09,450
Don't even bother bagging it.

33
00:03:17,850 --> 00:03:22,560
Do we have any eyeballs at all? It's a quiet street, weeknight. Neighbors heard the commotion.

34
00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:25,200
Kid over here, he had the only view.

35
00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:37,620
What's your name, son?

36
00:03:40,020 --> 00:03:41,310
Justin Green.

37
00:03:42,130 --> 00:03:46,410
Well, Justin, my name's Gil Grissom. This is Sara Sidle. We're with the Crime Lab.

38
00:03:47,370 --> 00:03:50,460
Is, uh, is that your blood?

39
00:03:51,390 --> 00:03:54,570
No, i-it's his, the one you took away.

40
00:03:55,410 --> 00:04:03,050
I tried to help him. I thought I was doing everything right. I think I might have killed him. Whoa. Slow down. What did you do exactly?

41
00:04:05,510 --> 00:04:09,380
JUSTIN: I was crossing the street. This SUV came out of nowhere-- almost clipped me.

42
00:04:09,770 --> 00:04:13,640
I turned and there was this body lying in the street.

43
00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:15,440
Oh, my God.

44
00:04:16,190 --> 00:04:19,724
Help! Help! Somebody call 9-1-1!

45
00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:21,140
I freaked.

46
00:04:21,950 --> 00:04:29,870
I did everything wrong. I didn't tilt his head back. I-I didn't clear his airway. If it makes you feel any better, that's not what killed him.

47
00:04:30,230 --> 00:04:34,070
SIDLE: Justin... we're going to need to take your clothes.

48
00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:36,290
Why?

49
00:04:37,490 --> 00:04:39,410
Because there's blood all over them.

50
00:04:50,770 --> 00:04:55,442
( garbled radio transmission )

51
00:05:06,700 --> 00:05:07,330
Excuse me.

52
00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:22,630
MAN: Catherine?

53
00:05:23,050 --> 00:05:23,560
Hey.

54
00:05:24,220 --> 00:05:26,950
I like the hair. Thanks. What are you doing here?

55
00:05:27,670 --> 00:05:29,380
I was assigned. This is my case.

56
00:05:29,590 --> 00:05:30,310
Case?

57
00:05:30,670 --> 00:05:33,610
The building collapsed. There's nothing criminal here. Right.

58
00:05:33,970 --> 00:05:36,850
That's why you were assigned-- a homicide detective.

59
00:05:37,150 --> 00:05:38,140
What happened?

60
00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:42,880
Oh, part of the basement caved in. Brought the rest down with it.

61
00:05:43,510 --> 00:05:44,230
Body count?

62
00:05:44,950 --> 00:05:47,320
Three old women. Sisters.

63
00:05:48,310 --> 00:05:51,790
One minute you're watching Wheel of Fortune-- next thing, game over.

64
00:05:52,150 --> 00:05:54,000
And you're not calling this a crime scene?

65
00:05:54,690 --> 00:05:57,060
Catherine, it's a building.

66
00:05:57,510 --> 00:06:00,930
O'Riley... it's a suspect.

67
00:06:04,260 --> 00:06:05,550
Hey, Greg. Shh.

68
00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:20,310
I might be looking at the mother of my children here. Somebody's been putting in way too much overtime. No, man, this is serious. I had a date last night and this girl has the most impossible green eyes. Just... Bam.

69
00:06:20,550 --> 00:06:26,730
Shoulder-length blonde hair... intelligent... and she smells so good. Cute toes?

70
00:06:27,210 --> 00:06:32,729
Oh... ideal. Mmm. And none are longer than the big toe. Mmm. Both feet.

71
00:06:33,030 --> 00:06:38,970
But, you know, what I need to know is what's on the inside? Oh, what's in her heart?

72
00:06:39,210 --> 00:06:45,720
No... her DNA... and let me tell you-- this girl has got some fine epithelials.

73
00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:50,040
Dude, you're sick. Man, you've officially lost it.

74
00:06:50,370 --> 00:06:57,560
No, no. There is this guy in Louisville. He charges 300 clams to test your spouse's underwear for foreign DNA.

75
00:06:57,890 --> 00:07:01,430
Now, that guy is sick. I'm just a romantic.

76
00:07:01,670 --> 00:07:10,130
But whatever happened to getting to know someone over coffee... letting the relationship evolve? Romantic is sending flowers not bogarting her skin cells.

77
00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:11,930
Ahh, that's boring.

78
00:07:13,010 --> 00:07:14,240
What are you doing? What have you got?

79
00:07:14,570 --> 00:07:17,030
Um, pulled some hair off a male stabbing vic.

80
00:07:17,930 --> 00:07:18,470
Okay.

81
00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:23,600
Baby.

82
00:07:33,310 --> 00:07:33,830
Uh-huh.

83
00:07:35,270 --> 00:07:35,780
What?

84
00:07:37,130 --> 00:07:38,210
Nine lives.

85
00:07:39,290 --> 00:07:40,100
Cat hair?

86
00:07:41,330 --> 00:07:41,990
Meow.

87
00:07:46,070 --> 00:07:50,690
Kevin Shepherd. Six stab wounds to the upper torso-- one to the back, five to the front.

88
00:07:51,410 --> 00:07:52,580
And his wife?

89
00:07:52,820 --> 00:07:56,690
Amy Shepherd. One slice across the neck, right to left.

90
00:07:57,350 --> 00:07:58,400
Work of a lefty?

91
00:07:58,650 --> 00:08:04,100
Well, the blade transected the jugular vein and both carotids. Hard to scream when your throat's been cut.

92
00:08:08,150 --> 00:08:12,680
Defensive wounds. This guy put up one hell of a fight. Attacked with two weapons.

93
00:08:13,700 --> 00:08:16,070
Two? Two types of stab wounds.

94
00:08:16,700 --> 00:08:26,150
First a long, sharp double-edged blade. The blade went in smooth... left a little collateral bruising to the skin.

95
00:08:26,810 --> 00:08:29,210
Weapon number two was blunt.

96
00:08:31,910 --> 00:08:35,780
Weapon number two caused extensive bruising around the points of entry.

97
00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:40,460
Two weapons... two attackers.

98
00:08:44,900 --> 00:08:45,470
Hi.

99
00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:48,140
District Engineer? Over there.

100
00:08:49,100 --> 00:08:49,370
Ah.

101
00:08:50,050 --> 00:08:51,160
Follow the tie.

102
00:09:01,060 --> 00:09:02,080
Is that from the rain?

103
00:09:04,060 --> 00:09:08,440
Depends on who's asking. Are you hiding something, or am I not worth your time?

104
00:09:08,920 --> 00:09:09,970
Excuse me?

105
00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:22,930
You are the District Engineer of the city, right? You're responsible for the structural safety of this building. I'm sorry. I didn't catch your name. Catherine Willows, Las Vegas Crime Lab. Crime Lab? Yeah. The building fell down. Three people were crushed to death.

106
00:09:24,850 --> 00:09:26,050
Why is the wood wet?

107
00:09:28,270 --> 00:09:33,610
It's a flat-roofed structure. Leaks aren't uncommon. Maybe that explains the dry rot. Then what am I looking at?

108
00:09:34,210 --> 00:09:38,530
That would be Sheetrock. Drywall. But what about this layer right here?

109
00:09:40,300 --> 00:09:48,930
When they installed the original drywall they used half-inch and then, when they came back and repaired it they used quarter-inch. Was the quarter-inch on sale that day?

110
00:09:49,950 --> 00:09:51,690
Look, lady, I don't know what it is... Catherine.

111
00:09:52,530 --> 00:09:53,130
Sorry.

112
00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:55,410
Don't say, "Sorry" just know who you're talking to.

113
00:09:57,180 --> 00:10:04,680
When they applied the second layer and then they spackled it and they painted it the difference wasn't noticeable. It's noticeable now.

114
00:10:05,940 --> 00:10:13,260
Which District Engineer conducted the last inspection? There's only one District Engineer. Then it looks bad for you.

115
00:10:15,270 --> 00:10:22,680
( laughing ): Okay. Look, uh, Catherine, why don't I write a report and then I'll e-mail it to you. How would that be? Where's the point of origin of the collapse?

116
00:10:26,310 --> 00:10:29,190
Look, this is my crime scene.

117
00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:33,660
I can find it myself but that might mean lots of question to lots of people.

118
00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:44,790
Well, it's just my, uh, expert opinion but I'd say right below us-- in the basement... the laundry room. Then that's where I want to be.

119
00:10:46,740 --> 00:10:47,360
Hey, Griss.

120
00:10:48,020 --> 00:10:55,430
Kevin Shepherd, chiropractor. Amy Shepherd, dentist. House in the Lakes. Married eight years. Perfect credit. You know, I'm lost.

121
00:10:55,820 --> 00:11:11,450
There's nothing jumping off the page, here. What about the eyewitness? Justin Green. First witness, first suspect but he hung around, waiting for us. Covered in blood. But his story jibes. Several eyewitness saw him performing CPR on Kevin Shepherd. But if-if-if it is a carjacking, I don't get it.

122
00:11:11,900 --> 00:11:27,980
Why fight to the death? It's four wheels and a chassis. In the heat of the moment, it's not a car, it's a possession and people will fight without realizing what they're risking. So, you are thinking the Shepherds lost their lives for ther SUV? I'm speaking in generalities. Regarding the Shepherds... I'm in the dark, too just like you.

123
00:11:34,100 --> 00:11:35,090
Hey, Warrick.

124
00:11:36,380 --> 00:11:37,610
Is Grissom around?

125
00:11:39,110 --> 00:11:39,830
You see him?

126
00:11:41,312 --> 00:11:54,820
( chuckles ) You know, between you and me as long as I've been on the job I still don't like touching dead bodies. Well, that's why you got the badge and I got the syringe.

127
00:12:11,590 --> 00:12:13,660
I'm casting the stab wounds.

128
00:12:14,110 --> 00:12:16,660
From the molds, we can identify the murder weapons.

129
00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:19,690
You're getting more like Grissom every day, man.

130
00:12:23,050 --> 00:12:28,180
Did you want me to give Griss a message? Yeah. A patrol car located the Shepherds' SUV.

131
00:12:35,380 --> 00:12:40,720
The car is registered to our dead couple.

132
00:12:41,170 --> 00:12:47,740
When you carjack a car, you keep the car. You don't dump it. Unless you're joyriding. Well, who kills for a joyride? Wouldn't be the first time.

133
00:12:48,190 --> 00:12:51,580
Has anybody else touched this vehicle? No, sir, and I'm the one who found it.

134
00:12:51,910 --> 00:12:52,870
Just the rain.

135
00:12:53,380 --> 00:12:57,640
The evidence on the outside of the vehicle will be compromised. Well, maybe there'll be some evidence on the inside.

136
00:13:07,990 --> 00:13:08,440
Whoa.

137
00:13:09,580 --> 00:13:09,940
Whoa.

138
00:13:10,690 --> 00:13:12,310
Well, I haven't felt that in a while.

139
00:13:12,760 --> 00:13:13,330
What's that?

140
00:13:14,470 --> 00:13:16,030
The element of surprise.

141
00:13:22,378 --> 00:13:29,260
( sighing ) What's she doing here? Good question. Better question, who is she?

142
00:13:30,160 --> 00:13:30,640
Hmm.

143
00:13:30,940 --> 00:13:33,700
Uh. Put some gloves on.

144
00:13:35,740 --> 00:13:36,660
Yeah, I know.

145
00:13:39,820 --> 00:13:44,250
You know, I... I can't believe you messed up the crime scene.

146
00:13:44,490 --> 00:13:48,000
The body fell out when I opened the door. It happens. We move on.

147
00:13:49,620 --> 00:13:51,210
Mmm. Going to bother you all day.

148
00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:04,620
"Jessica Hall. "Date of birth-- 8-5-73."

149
00:14:07,650 --> 00:14:09,754
Cell phone, power's off. Didn't call 9-1-1.

150
00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:15,780
They would've instructed her to leave it on. Seat belt's unbuckled. That's why she fell out. Yeah, so?

151
00:14:16,410 --> 00:14:20,550
Well, she's in the driver's seat. Was she driving? Or could she have been placed in here?

152
00:14:20,820 --> 00:14:24,420
Maybe she's like 28% of Americans-- she doesn't buckle up.

153
00:14:24,750 --> 00:14:26,610
I think it's 29%, actually.

154
00:14:28,170 --> 00:14:30,030
I'll go radio the 4-19.

155
00:14:52,640 --> 00:14:54,890
Hope you're not allergic there, Boss. What?

156
00:14:55,280 --> 00:15:05,810
Cat hair. Found similar hair on Kevin Shepherd's clothing. How about Amy Shepherd? Nope. No hairs on the wife. Shepherd's SUV. Stab wound. Cat hair.

157
00:15:06,260 --> 00:15:08,060
She's linked to the first crime scene.

158
00:15:08,750 --> 00:15:09,530
But how?

159
00:15:09,860 --> 00:15:13,010
Victim number three. Wrong place, wrong time.

160
00:15:14,270 --> 00:15:15,710
Saw something she shouldn't.

161
00:15:17,540 --> 00:15:18,470
Well, finally.

162
00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:21,290
What? Someone has a theory.

163
00:15:24,110 --> 00:15:33,680
Look, I-I've got guys that are trained to do this. Why don't you let me call them? You're going to go in there, you're going to get that snappy little jumpsuit dirty, and... No offense, but they work for you.

164
00:15:34,970 --> 00:15:35,780
So what?

165
00:15:36,860 --> 00:15:39,680
Well, so the victims' family deserves answers.

166
00:15:42,010 --> 00:15:43,600
Somebody's responsible.

167
00:15:44,890 --> 00:15:46,600
Hey, I didn't do anything wrong.

168
00:15:46,960 --> 00:15:54,310
Well, maybe not intentionally, but if a ship sinks the last person who checked for leaks is negligent.

169
00:15:55,300 --> 00:15:57,280
You're not married, are you?

170
00:16:00,430 --> 00:16:01,480
Divorced.

171
00:16:05,350 --> 00:16:16,000
Okay. All right. What you see, I'll see but I just want to go on the record. This is a bad idea. Thanks for your input. All right. We got a hot feed.

172
00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:17,080
I'm going in.

173
00:16:17,590 --> 00:16:18,820
I'll be right here.

174
00:16:20,290 --> 00:16:20,950
Catherine?

175
00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:24,190
You sure you want to do this?

176
00:16:24,970 --> 00:16:28,480
Why is everybody asking me if I want to do my job? Because we care.

177
00:16:28,690 --> 00:16:29,890
And?

178
00:16:32,680 --> 00:16:35,710
The Mayor ran on a platform of urban renewal.

179
00:16:36,400 --> 00:16:41,790
Clean out the slumlords, create habitable, low-cost housing maintained by the city.

180
00:16:42,240 --> 00:16:47,490
If you find so much as a scratch on an aspirin in there you know who it's going to come back to.

181
00:16:48,870 --> 00:16:51,750
I know I have a job to do. Excuse me.

182
00:16:59,310 --> 00:17:00,180
Hey, Doc.

183
00:17:00,780 --> 00:17:16,530
What's with the fluoroscope? When we brought the body into the lab she set off the metal detector. Did you check in her pockets? Nothing in the pockets. What about a pin or a plate-- something metallic on the inside? I had the same thought, but that's not what we've found. David, take her down. Yes, sir.

184
00:17:19,890 --> 00:17:28,440
Cause of death, laceration of the liver. Exsanguination. Once you nick the liver it's almost impossible to stop the bleeding without immediate medical intervention.

185
00:17:29,910 --> 00:17:35,100
Whoa, David. Go back up to the 12th rib, please. I was just getting to that.

186
00:17:39,690 --> 00:17:41,490
Our killer leave us a souvenir?

187
00:17:42,240 --> 00:17:43,320
What is that?

188
00:17:43,710 --> 00:17:45,240
What do you leave your waiter?

189
00:17:46,650 --> 00:17:50,850
A tip... of a knife. How soon can we get that out of the body?

190
00:17:53,198 --> 00:18:05,580
( building creaking ) Am I almost at ground zero? Almost. About ten more feet. Uh, then you should be in the laundry room. You should have more headroom, too.

191
00:18:06,090 --> 00:18:08,520
I feel like I'm crawling through a straw.

192
00:18:09,560 --> 00:18:10,995
( grunting )

193
00:18:21,540 --> 00:18:23,370
Sweet.

194
00:18:23,640 --> 00:18:25,920
What? What is it? Are you getting this?

195
00:18:26,250 --> 00:18:31,290
What is that? A roach? I'm not an entomologist, but I know one.

196
00:18:31,680 --> 00:18:32,880
He can tell us.

197
00:18:33,448 --> 00:18:44,600
( rumbling ) I thought this building was secure. It is secure. Just hang on. The daily sorties. I think that was an F-16.

198
00:18:46,370 --> 00:18:48,290
Nellis Air Force Base.

199
00:18:48,710 --> 00:18:50,270
About a mile south of here.

200
00:18:51,020 --> 00:18:53,810
Anything else I should, uh be aware of?

201
00:18:55,070 --> 00:18:56,210
You're in the clear.

202
00:19:01,040 --> 00:19:01,940
Okay.

203
00:19:24,260 --> 00:19:25,130
Okay.

204
00:19:25,430 --> 00:19:29,450
I'm in the laundry room... what's left of it.

205
00:19:30,120 --> 00:19:31,970
You want to talk me through this?

206
00:19:32,330 --> 00:19:34,610
Okay, look up. You should be able to see the beam now.

207
00:19:39,910 --> 00:19:51,730
Got it. All right, connected to the beam running vertically to the concrete foundation are the support columns. Now, in a perfect world, they should be steel but given the age of the building they might be wood.

208
00:19:52,300 --> 00:19:54,130
Yeah, it's wood, all right.

209
00:20:00,190 --> 00:20:03,310
And it looks like somebody took a sledgehammer to it.

210
00:20:06,910 --> 00:20:10,870
So you really pulled this out of a corpse? SIDLE: Yeah... but I cleaned it for you.

211
00:20:11,140 --> 00:20:12,760
We need to know the make of that knife.

212
00:20:13,180 --> 00:20:14,290
Well, it's not a knife.

213
00:20:14,650 --> 00:20:23,320
The tip's double-edged. Bevels on both sides, downward slope. This came from a dagger which means it's either carbon steel or stainless steel.

214
00:20:23,650 --> 00:20:25,780
I get asked this question more than you think.

215
00:20:26,470 --> 00:20:36,660
SIDLE: Acid in the lemon juice should react to carbon steel, but not stainless steel. How's a cop know all this? He's the cop. I'm the scientist. I got a cop question. What are we looking for here? Dark spots.

216
00:20:37,710 --> 00:20:46,920
SIDLE: Carbon steel. What's next? Length. Daggers are rarely more than an inch at the base. We got the tip. So, we can fill in the rest.

217
00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:49,260
It's basic geometry.

218
00:20:59,850 --> 00:21:00,870
Five inches.

219
00:21:01,830 --> 00:21:06,030
Top row-- five-inch daggers, carbon steel. This is the one you want.

220
00:21:06,300 --> 00:21:10,500
$24.99. We don't take credit cards. Yeah.

221
00:21:13,110 --> 00:21:19,740
WARRICK: Forget Shepherd's wife. I can't match the slash marks. It's all about these stab wounds. So I concentrated on Kevin Shepherd.

222
00:21:20,460 --> 00:21:44,360
This is a nice job, Warrick. You know, casting is an art. And while the artist was at work, Brass and I identified Jessica Hall's murder weapon from the tip we found lodged in her ribs. It's a dagger. Fugasi Model 502. Cool. So we've identified the weapon used on Jessica Hall. Was it also used on Kevin Shepherd? Well, I measured all the sharp points of entry on Kevin's body.

223
00:21:44,690 --> 00:21:46,010
They're all identical.

224
00:21:46,460 --> 00:22:06,890
They're all made from the same murder weapon. So, if this dagger matches your mold... SIDLE: Okay. We just put the sharp wounds to bed. Identified murder weapon number one.

225
00:22:08,660 --> 00:22:10,610
Now we just need that second murder weapon.

226
00:22:11,450 --> 00:22:13,910
Points of impact on these two are blunt, right?

227
00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:20,510
WARRICK: Yeah, who stabs someone with a blunt instrument? Sara, you still have the dagger tip from the body?

228
00:22:20,750 --> 00:22:24,590
Yeah? And you have the cast of the unidentified murder weapon. Yeah.

229
00:22:26,660 --> 00:22:29,150
A dagger's not a diamond. It doesn't last forever.

230
00:22:39,260 --> 00:22:41,060
We don't have two weapons.

231
00:22:45,020 --> 00:22:51,590
So he started with Kevin and then he went after Jessica and then the tip broke off. And then he went back to Kevin to finish the job.

232
00:22:52,160 --> 00:22:54,320
One weapon, one killer.

233
00:23:00,170 --> 00:23:02,240
An Anobiid powder-post beetle.

234
00:23:02,750 --> 00:23:13,460
Very nice specimen. He likes you, too. Now, tell me about him. Your building collapsed. You assigned me the case. You already know that. Well, this little guy confirms it.

235
00:23:13,820 --> 00:23:16,160
This species of beetle eats softwood.

236
00:23:16,910 --> 00:23:18,050
Tell me about the building.

237
00:23:18,830 --> 00:23:20,450
The frame's made of Douglas fir.

238
00:23:21,590 --> 00:23:23,060
A delicacy.

239
00:23:23,990 --> 00:23:30,920
I did find more than a bug. Dry rot, questionable repairs, a jittery engineer. And check this out.

240
00:23:35,110 --> 00:23:40,060
GRISSOM: Forget the beetle; this damage was intentional. You're looking for a Homo sapiens.

241
00:23:40,330 --> 00:23:45,850
I know. Gives new meaning to "home wrecker." Catherine, there's a reason I assigned you this case.

242
00:23:47,230 --> 00:23:50,260
You're good with people, both the dead and the living.

243
00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:58,780
Translation: we're opening a political can of worms. The mayor's involved, an election's around the corner and you could've clued me in a little earlier.

244
00:23:59,320 --> 00:24:00,250
Can I keep it?

245
00:24:00,940 --> 00:24:02,740
Sorry. It's evidence.

246
00:24:03,190 --> 00:24:06,640
Don't forget to feed him. I know-- wood.

247
00:24:09,280 --> 00:24:10,270
WARRICK: Oh, yeah.

248
00:24:13,150 --> 00:24:18,310
I got three prints on this gearshift and they are beauties. Sweaty palms make the best prints.

249
00:24:21,490 --> 00:24:25,360
The coroner just sent over a ten card of Jessica Hall's fingerprints.

250
00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:27,760
Evidently, I'm the new delivery boy.

251
00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:31,650
Are you doing what I think you're doing?

252
00:24:31,890 --> 00:24:35,130
If we find what we're looking for the answer is yes.

253
00:24:36,090 --> 00:24:37,200
Can I see those prints?

254
00:24:38,040 --> 00:24:39,390
The images are printing.

255
00:24:41,910 --> 00:24:42,270
Thanks.

256
00:24:53,310 --> 00:25:10,590
No need for AFIS. We got a visual match. All three prints belong to victim number three. So Jessica Hall was the last person to drive the Shepherds' SUV. What does that give us? We know she was stabbed at the crime scene, but then what? Was she driving herself to the hospital? Was she under duress? None of the above.

257
00:25:11,880 --> 00:25:15,450
Hey, Grissom, you know that theory I had? Yeah. I'd like to revise it.

258
00:25:15,990 --> 00:25:21,480
It's a scientist's right to reexamine his theory with each new piece of evidence, Nick. My evidence is in the layout room.

259
00:25:21,960 --> 00:25:25,620
All the wounds sustained by Kevin Shepherd were to his torso.

260
00:25:26,370 --> 00:25:28,350
Now, look at this.

261
00:25:34,880 --> 00:25:38,390
Blood flow on the left instep of Kevin Shepherd's shoe.

262
00:25:38,690 --> 00:25:59,720
WARRICK: Lucky for us the rain missed that. When death is not immediate a victim will instinctively curl up into a fetal position. Which may have protected this from the rain. Preserving the blood pattern. You expect blood on a victim but let's ask the question: could the normal action and behavior of our victim have put his blood there? The victim was lying on the ground wounds above the waist.

263
00:26:00,410 --> 00:26:01,670
It's not Kevin's blood.

264
00:26:01,880 --> 00:26:10,670
Who else had a flowing wound? Amy Shepherd was too far away but Jessica Hall was alive and bleeding. Okay. How did her blood get on his shoe?

265
00:26:11,810 --> 00:26:12,860
Gravity.

266
00:26:14,960 --> 00:26:22,190
Warrick, please, on the floor on your back. Man, why are you always trying to put me down? Sara, you're Jessica.

267
00:26:22,700 --> 00:26:23,810
Come on, now.

268
00:26:24,410 --> 00:26:25,130
SARA: Okay.

269
00:26:33,730 --> 00:26:42,340
All right, I'm bleeding from my abdomen. Standing here, I'm not going to get that much blood on Warrick. Get closer.

270
00:26:43,270 --> 00:26:45,250
Well, I can't without... stepping on him.

271
00:26:45,760 --> 00:26:47,620
You can if you kneel down.

272
00:26:48,070 --> 00:26:49,510
Why would she do that?

273
00:26:50,620 --> 00:26:53,620
Possibly to help or to hinder.

274
00:26:56,110 --> 00:26:57,310
I say hinder.

275
00:27:00,991 --> 00:27:13,300
( loud gasp ) ( moans ) Grab his legs! Oh! ( grunting ) She was in on it. She held him down while someone else stabbed him.

276
00:27:13,750 --> 00:27:22,120
By the positioning of her wound I'd say it looked like her stabbing was an accident. Stabbing's are messy and inexact.

277
00:27:22,480 --> 00:27:33,190
So victim number three becomes suspect number two. GRISSOM: Nick, get a warrant for Jessica Hall's apartment. We'll see if suspect number two leads us to suspect number one.

278
00:27:33,580 --> 00:27:35,320
And bring a scorecard with you.

279
00:27:37,510 --> 00:27:40,030
Can, uh, can I give you a hand with that? Nope.

280
00:27:43,300 --> 00:27:48,010
How did you get in here? Well, I flashed my city I.D. and, uh, my smile.

281
00:27:53,080 --> 00:27:54,340
What are we looking for?

282
00:27:56,110 --> 00:28:01,090
A lot of factors contributed to the collapse. I'm focusing on the human element.

283
00:28:05,050 --> 00:28:12,610
Now... if a sledgehammer was taken to this column recently there'd be evidence of discoloration. The damaged part would be lighter.

284
00:28:14,890 --> 00:28:15,450
May I?

285
00:28:23,890 --> 00:28:25,710
Hands off. Oh, right. Sorry.

286
00:28:25,920 --> 00:28:27,870
No. No discoloration.

287
00:28:29,670 --> 00:28:31,260
Would you like to know why?

288
00:28:33,090 --> 00:28:47,370
Yeah. Five years ago, this building was apartment Vietnam. The facility was substandard. The city turned its back on it. The tenants revolted. Blake Neferson, apartment 204 took a sledgehammer to that column.

289
00:28:48,210 --> 00:28:51,090
It's public record-- he was arrested. Public record?

290
00:28:52,440 --> 00:28:56,940
And you failed to indicate the damage in your inspection report?

291
00:28:58,020 --> 00:29:00,240
There wasn't enough damage to cause concern.

292
00:29:02,220 --> 00:29:04,410
Tell that to the women who were crushed to death.

293
00:29:20,910 --> 00:29:24,170
I heard the lab matched the blood on Kevin Shepherd's shoe to Jessica.

294
00:29:24,590 --> 00:29:33,410
My theory's getting better and better. BRASS: Not so fast, Nicholas. P.D. traced a call Shepherd made to Jessica from Andre's Restaurant. What's he doing calling the woman who helped kill him?

295
00:29:34,130 --> 00:29:35,360
It's your theory, pal.

296
00:30:17,690 --> 00:30:20,960
Our little Jessica was a prolific note-taker.

297
00:30:22,480 --> 00:30:27,460
"Be a good person today." Yeah, right. Try not to kill too many people.

298
00:30:27,910 --> 00:30:33,670
"Cancel water cooler delivery." "Plan girl's night out." "Light bulbs for porch."

299
00:30:50,500 --> 00:30:52,660
NICK: I think I found a key piece of evidence.

300
00:30:56,590 --> 00:30:58,270
The redhead we've been looking for.

301
00:30:58,750 --> 00:31:02,860
Red hairs on Jessica. She owns a tabby cat. Red hairs on Shepherd.

302
00:31:03,100 --> 00:31:12,100
Chances are Shepherd was here without his wife. BRASS: Yeah. I'm going to run Jessica's cell phone records and Shepherd's. If anything was going on between those two we'll find out.

303
00:31:13,390 --> 00:31:13,840
Stay here, fella.

304
00:31:30,150 --> 00:31:32,549
NICK: "To access Achex, double-click icon.

305
00:31:33,330 --> 00:31:35,400
User name: Jessica. Password: money."

306
00:31:37,110 --> 00:31:37,830
Try it.

307
00:31:38,130 --> 00:31:38,400
Yeah.

308
00:31:44,550 --> 00:31:44,790
Achex.

309
00:31:45,510 --> 00:31:50,940
Personal on-line banking. Deposits, checking, money transfers everything under the sun.

310
00:31:56,490 --> 00:31:57,540
Okay, I'm in.

311
00:31:58,260 --> 00:32:03,210
Direct deposit from Beaumont's Department Store $500 a week-- probably her weekly paycheck.

312
00:32:06,480 --> 00:32:09,300
And then a $35,000 day?

313
00:32:10,740 --> 00:32:12,000
What, she win the lottery?

314
00:32:13,410 --> 00:32:21,180
How does a girl who makes $2,000 a month pull in $35,000... only to give it away on the same day?

315
00:32:22,380 --> 00:32:23,670
Let's see who she gave it to.

316
00:32:25,830 --> 00:32:29,850
It hasn't posted yet. ( sighs ) No luck.

317
00:32:30,270 --> 00:32:30,930
Wait. Go back.

318
00:32:38,250 --> 00:32:47,310
Well, we know who she got it from-- Kevin Shepherd. Wait a minute-- Shepherd paid Jessica to murder him and his wife? Maybe. Maybe not.

319
00:32:50,040 --> 00:32:53,400
We can't speak from the evidence, Nick and everybody else is dead.

320
00:33:00,180 --> 00:33:11,100
I took this from our suspect's apartment. Husband and wife carjacking. I heard about the case. My friend and I eat at Andre's. Creepy. Don't cancel your next reservation. It wasn't a carjacking.

321
00:33:13,780 --> 00:33:19,640
Well, it's a fresh pad. Only a couple of pages missing. Let's see what she wrote on those missing pages.

322
00:34:02,810 --> 00:34:06,320
"Quarters for laundry." Not incriminating. "Pay parking ticket."

323
00:34:07,100 --> 00:34:09,620
"Andre's at 9:00 p.m." Whoa.

324
00:34:11,030 --> 00:34:33,550
"Andre's, 9:00 p.m. "Green SUV. "Corner of Sixth. "Sunday, K's office, 8:00 a.m." This is a blueprint for murder. Assuming "K" is Kevin they were planning to meet three days after he was murdered. He paid Jessica $35,000. He called her as he was leaving the restaurant. He wasn't supposed to die. No. Neither was Jessica. Kevin Shepherd took a hit out on his wife and something went wrong.

325
00:34:34,449 --> 00:34:36,040
And we may have the proof.

326
00:34:36,610 --> 00:34:40,389
Okay, we've got the blueprint and Kevin Shepherd's credit card receipt from Andre's.

327
00:34:40,780 --> 00:34:49,690
Okay. Now, normally, a signature wouldn't give us much. But look at the "K" on the receipt. Now, look at the "K" in "K's office."

328
00:34:50,350 --> 00:34:56,830
Okay? Also, look at the "S" in "SUV" and "Sunday." Now, look at the "S" in Shepherd.

329
00:34:57,910 --> 00:34:59,500
Both letters are identical.

330
00:34:59,830 --> 00:35:07,750
He wrote both these documents. I think Shepherd planned the murder of his wife. I'm with you. Why'd he end up dead? Bad karma.

331
00:35:08,170 --> 00:35:09,580
Jessica and this Shepherd guy
