1
00:00:09,609 --> 00:00:11,678
( birds singing )

2
00:00:29,396 --> 00:00:31,610
( clucks tongue ) ( whinnying ) Let's go.

3
00:00:32,089 --> 00:00:37,190
( clucking tongue ) ( whinnying ) What is wrong with you?

4
00:00:38,780 --> 00:00:39,320
Easy.

5
00:01:07,180 --> 00:01:14,500
A girl in a culvert pipe... at a highway construction site in the middle of an alfalfa field.

6
00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:19,570
You got anything to add?

7
00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:22,210
Nothing as poetic.

8
00:01:22,750 --> 00:01:26,980
Just, uh... road crew took off at 3:00, body was discovered at 5:15.

9
00:01:28,210 --> 00:01:29,170
Who found the body?

10
00:01:30,670 --> 00:01:31,900
Our friend Flicka.

11
00:01:32,830 --> 00:01:35,020
Well, there goes that theory. What's that?

12
00:01:35,320 --> 00:01:37,720
Whoever finds the body is the first suspect.

13
00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:39,190
SIDLE: Grissom?

14
00:01:46,060 --> 00:01:46,870
What do you got?

15
00:01:47,740 --> 00:01:49,870
The one thing you don't want to find at a murder scene.

16
00:01:55,750 --> 00:01:56,830
A second body.

17
00:01:58,820 --> 00:02:02,056
Captioning sponsored by PARAMOUNT TELEVISION

18
00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:06,490
Who... are you?

19
00:02:08,620 --> 00:02:08,979
Who, who, who, who?

20
00:02:10,479 --> 00:02:11,860
Who... are you?

21
00:02:13,570 --> 00:02:15,100
Who, who, who, who?

22
00:02:15,310 --> 00:02:23,260
I really wanna know Who... are you?

23
00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:33,190
Oh-oh-oh Who... Come on, tell me who are you, you, you Oh, you! Who'd you like to start with?

24
00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:41,560
Which one died first? Identical body temps and vitreous humor. Both women died approximately 12 hours ago.

25
00:02:42,220 --> 00:02:46,840
My Uncle Phil used to say you can't kill two birds with one stone. All I can tell you is cause of death.

26
00:02:48,130 --> 00:02:51,700
Injury to the cervical spine. Looks to be hands-on.

27
00:02:53,023 --> 00:02:59,370
( cracking sound ) Somebody snapped her neck. She died instantly.

28
00:03:00,180 --> 00:03:01,230
Now, the blonde.

29
00:03:02,370 --> 00:03:05,040
Contusion to the forehead, not fatal.

30
00:03:05,550 --> 00:03:07,620
Whatever cut her face, cut her arm.

31
00:03:07,890 --> 00:03:14,040
I found glass in all the incised wounds except for these abrasions on her neck.

32
00:03:15,330 --> 00:03:16,560
Fingernails maybe.

33
00:03:16,920 --> 00:03:18,210
Possible sign of struggle.

34
00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:23,250
I swabbed the abrasions for foreign DNA, sent it to the lab. Cause of death?

35
00:03:23,970 --> 00:03:25,440
Severed Brachial artery.

36
00:03:25,710 --> 00:03:26,730
She bled out.

37
00:03:28,410 --> 00:03:29,700
Something doesn't seem right.

38
00:03:30,870 --> 00:03:36,870
Look at the brunette-- elaborate tattoos. Perfectly dyed hair.

39
00:03:43,890 --> 00:03:45,600
Multiple body piercing.

40
00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:48,270
Tells me she craved attention.

41
00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:56,550
Sure. The blonde, however... seems almost prosaic.

42
00:03:57,060 --> 00:03:58,920
She doesn't even have pierced ears.

43
00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:06,180
She didn't shave her legs.

44
00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:16,320
A wildflower and a wallflower. So, besides time of death, what do our dead flowers have in common?

45
00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:35,370
Found his SUV in the turnout after closing, so I scoped out the area.

46
00:04:35,910 --> 00:04:37,800
He should've been wearing his orange vest.

47
00:04:38,250 --> 00:04:40,230
Bullet looks like a through and through.

48
00:04:42,210 --> 00:04:43,470
He bled out.

49
00:04:44,430 --> 00:04:45,720
Hunting rifle.

50
00:04:48,510 --> 00:04:50,220
Winchester 70.

51
00:04:52,950 --> 00:04:55,710
What are you doing there? Checking liver temperature.

52
00:04:56,330 --> 00:04:57,830
Estimating time of death.

53
00:05:00,980 --> 00:05:02,840
Should be a total of five bullets.

54
00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:07,940
Four in the magazine, one in the chamber.

55
00:05:09,170 --> 00:05:10,640
All accounted for.

56
00:05:11,510 --> 00:05:13,160
This rifle was never fired.

57
00:05:16,280 --> 00:05:19,820
88.6. That's ten degrees below normal.

58
00:05:20,060 --> 00:05:26,270
So he died approximately ten hours ago. That would make it about 2:00 p.m. Nick, Catherine, he's all yours.

59
00:05:26,750 --> 00:05:27,890
Thanks, David.

60
00:05:28,820 --> 00:05:30,980
Okay, let's see who you are.

61
00:05:43,490 --> 00:05:45,140
Nevada license.

62
00:05:45,590 --> 00:05:55,830
James Jasper. When's hunting season? Deer season opened last week. Record number of permits. Well, you were right-- he should've been wearing his orange safety vest.

63
00:05:57,270 --> 00:06:03,990
Hunter lays in wait, spots a deer. Hunter fires, deer takes off.

64
00:06:04,530 --> 00:06:07,140
The bullet keeps going until it stops.

65
00:06:07,620 --> 00:06:09,270
No bullet in the body.

66
00:06:14,190 --> 00:06:15,810
No bullet in the tree.

67
00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:17,310
It's got to be somewhere.

68
00:06:27,190 --> 00:06:36,030
I processed the crime scene. Lots of treads and tracks, but nothing salient. What about the culverts? I came up empty. I worked from the victims out till I hit the highway.

69
00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:39,570
Nothing. Nothing to process, no follow-up, zip.

70
00:06:42,840 --> 00:06:44,460
You have something.

71
00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:54,820
Print lab I.D'd one of the vics. Blonde or brunette? Brunette. Joan Marks. At 18, she was booked for felony shoplifting. Lived at home. We got the address.

72
00:06:55,450 --> 00:06:57,670
Warrick grabbed a Uniform. He's on his way there with a warrant.

73
00:06:58,042 --> 00:06:59,743
( crickets chirping )

74
00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:21,940
Catherine!

75
00:07:23,890 --> 00:07:24,880
You find the bullet?

76
00:07:25,090 --> 00:07:26,020
Yeah.

77
00:07:27,100 --> 00:07:30,220
But how am I going to get it out of there without damaging it?

78
00:07:32,470 --> 00:07:38,710
You know what the textbook says-- if you're not 100% sure how to collect it, bring the whole thing in.

79
00:07:45,910 --> 00:07:48,400
Yeah, I'll figure it out.

80
00:08:09,610 --> 00:08:14,110
1,200 miles, and it's an older model. Driver doesn't get out much.

81
00:08:17,770 --> 00:08:25,300
Registered to a Donna Marks. Could be our blonde. Related to Joan Marks. I'll check with DMV. I already did.

82
00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:32,619
28 years old, blond, blue eyes, 125 pounds, five-six... Sound familiar?

83
00:08:32,830 --> 00:08:33,880
That's her.

84
00:08:34,090 --> 00:08:47,590
Uniform's talking to a neighbor. Donna is Joan's older sister. ( chuckling ): Well... We know what they have in common now, don't we? Genetics. House belonged to their mother. Donna's lived here alone since their mother died.

85
00:08:48,070 --> 00:08:50,080
Joan lived in Henderson.

86
00:08:50,830 --> 00:08:52,440
The real action's around back.

87
00:08:55,020 --> 00:08:58,800
If the highway was the dump site, this is the primary.

88
00:09:01,260 --> 00:09:02,610
Makes sense.

89
00:09:02,910 --> 00:09:07,200
The blonde's lacerations were filled with glass. She went through that door.

90
00:09:07,530 --> 00:09:09,030
From inside out.

91
00:09:15,270 --> 00:09:35,040
To take out one of these doors, you need some serious momentum. No doubt. I'm going to collect the glass, and then I'll start with the door frame. How are you at solving puzzles? You're the puzzle guy. I have a hint for you. When they cool sheet glass, they lay it out on tin. So the side that kissed up to the tin will fluoresce under UV.

92
00:09:35,340 --> 00:09:40,740
Still going to be a long couple of days at the lab. I got some imprints on these blood spots here.

93
00:09:43,710 --> 00:09:51,150
Looks like the killer may have stepped in Donna's blood. Or maybe her sister stepped in it. There was some blood on Joan Marks' right shoe.

94
00:09:54,090 --> 00:09:57,630
Hmm. That would place Joan at the house. And establish a timeline.

95
00:09:57,930 --> 00:10:04,830
If Joan did step in Donna's blood, that would mean that Donna was injured and bleeding while Joan was still walking around.

96
00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:35,520
Sweet and sour pork.

97
00:10:36,570 --> 00:10:37,560
It smells fresh.

98
00:10:45,150 --> 00:10:46,500
More sweet and sour.

99
00:10:47,580 --> 00:10:48,630
Mostly sour.

100
00:10:49,140 --> 00:10:52,190
Single servings in the back, spoiled.

101
00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:59,090
Family-sized boxes in front, one or two days old.

102
00:11:02,870 --> 00:11:07,850
What do you think? Increase in appetite or... perhaps a guest?

103
00:11:35,390 --> 00:11:36,740
Universal remote.

104
00:11:38,450 --> 00:11:45,260
She could do everything she wanted from this chair but cook a roast. Well, we already know she cooks like I do-- takeout on speed dial.

105
00:11:45,770 --> 00:11:50,750
Pottery Barn, Lillian Vernon, Magnolia, Yafa Pen.

106
00:11:50,990 --> 00:12:02,330
She's a catalog junkie-- we're on the same mailing lists. Catalogs, the Internet, mail order, takeout, 1,200 miles on her car.

107
00:12:03,830 --> 00:12:05,270
Agoraphobic maybe?

108
00:12:06,590 --> 00:12:08,690
Or she just doesn't like people?

109
00:12:09,140 --> 00:12:10,910
Ah. That's you talking.

110
00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:17,570
I'll haul in her PC, check her e-mail, look in on her social life.

111
00:12:24,050 --> 00:12:27,740
Hey... the toilet seat's up.

112
00:12:31,310 --> 00:12:32,570
There was a man here.

113
00:12:39,560 --> 00:12:40,130
Nick.

114
00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:55,540
Tell me what you got. Coroner said it's cut and dry. Bullet severed an abdominal artery. Trajectory? Front to back. Straight across. Round entered one inch to the right of the umbilicus. Bullet's with ballistics.

115
00:12:56,200 --> 00:13:01,870
Vega's got the widow. They're ready for us. Jimmy left early, before I got up.

116
00:13:02,410 --> 00:13:08,650
When he didn't come home for dinner, I just figured that he got himself a deer. Did he go by himself?

117
00:13:09,940 --> 00:13:12,160
He took a day off of work in the middle of the week?

118
00:13:12,700 --> 00:13:16,750
Well, um... we had both been laid off recently.

119
00:13:17,350 --> 00:13:19,690
He was in insurance.

120
00:13:20,890 --> 00:13:41,320
He was an auditor. And how was your husband handling that? Well, you know, he was okay. I mean, uh... We had to borrow money from his folks to pay the rent. That was hard on him. ( sniffling ) I have to call them. I haven't called them. I... Mrs. Jasper, was your husband an experienced hunter?

121
00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:42,760
Yes.

122
00:13:43,450 --> 00:13:45,070
Since he was a kid.

123
00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:49,030
He always looked forward to deer season.

124
00:13:49,690 --> 00:13:53,920
But, with the baby and all, he missed the last few.

125
00:13:55,420 --> 00:13:59,200
It's me... ( sobbing ): isn't it?

126
00:13:59,740 --> 00:14:01,570
I encouraged him to go.

127
00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:06,610
I thought that it would help him take his mind off things.

128
00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:11,920
Oh... What am I going to do?

129
00:14:18,370 --> 00:14:22,990
Can you think of any reason James wasn't wearing a safety vest?

130
00:14:24,550 --> 00:14:25,510
No.

131
00:14:26,740 --> 00:14:30,160
I mean, he was always so careful.

132
00:14:30,610 --> 00:14:32,290
That doesn't sound right.

133
00:14:36,490 --> 00:14:44,140
If you're here about the blood on Joan Marks' shoe, I already told Sara. I'm backed up. I'm here about foreign DNA on Donna Marks' neck.

134
00:14:44,680 --> 00:14:45,040
Oh.

135
00:14:45,480 --> 00:14:46,980
Well, on that, I got an I.D.

136
00:14:48,390 --> 00:14:54,600
You found a match in CODIS? Nope, but I ran a DNA profile on both victims. What do all sisters have in common?

137
00:14:55,140 --> 00:14:55,890
DNA.

138
00:14:58,110 --> 00:15:00,780
You're saying that Donna's sister scratched her?

139
00:15:01,547 --> 00:15:09,210
( women yelling ) ( meows, hisses ) So, did I solve the case?

140
00:15:09,900 --> 00:15:13,050
No, Greg, you didn't. But you've helped.

141
00:15:18,240 --> 00:15:19,200
Hey, Brass.

142
00:15:19,620 --> 00:15:30,120
I heard the database kicked out a temporary restraining order-- Joan Marks against her old boyfriend. I'll do you one better. The old boyfriend, Gavin Pallard, had one against her. Tit for tat. They both filed last month.

143
00:15:32,670 --> 00:15:33,810
Want to find out why?

144
00:15:34,230 --> 00:15:35,400
Don't mind if I do.

145
00:15:37,590 --> 00:15:38,550
See this?

146
00:15:39,270 --> 00:15:41,070
Didn't get this French kissing.

147
00:15:41,640 --> 00:15:42,990
Joanie had a temper.

148
00:15:43,230 --> 00:15:46,070
Punctuated her sentences by throwing furniture.

149
00:15:47,030 --> 00:15:48,650
Made it hot, you know?

150
00:15:49,370 --> 00:15:52,460
We'd break up to make up. What about the last time?

151
00:15:52,730 --> 00:16:00,800
Look, since the whole TRO business, she'd been in and out of my house three times. Couldn't stay away. According to you.

152
00:16:02,450 --> 00:16:15,860
When did you see her last? Yesterday. I dodged a coffee pot. She hit the road. What was she driving? My Thunderbird. I'd lent it to her, and used my bike. But, um... you know... I'd like it back now.

153
00:16:16,520 --> 00:16:17,780
When we find it.

154
00:16:18,830 --> 00:16:23,030
Did she tell you she was going to her sister's? No.

155
00:16:23,930 --> 00:16:28,400
Why would she go there? It's oil and water. And Joanie liked action.

156
00:16:28,640 --> 00:16:33,140
Real partier. Last party Donna went to was her third birthday. What about you?

157
00:16:34,100 --> 00:16:36,590
You been to Donna's house recently? No.

158
00:16:37,010 --> 00:16:37,970
Boring.

159
00:16:38,780 --> 00:16:40,730
Was always glued to her computer.

160
00:16:41,150 --> 00:16:50,000
Plus Joan thought Donna owed her rent and... the house was in both their names, so... May I... see the bottom of your shoes?

161
00:16:50,540 --> 00:16:52,580
Why? Why not?

162
00:17:07,010 --> 00:17:08,420
I like the shoes.

163
00:17:09,858 --> 00:17:11,480
I like them enough to get a warrant.

164
00:17:13,608 --> 00:17:14,868
I was just calling you.

165
00:17:15,530 --> 00:17:23,210
You were? Yeah. Carved your bullet out of that hunk of tree. Ah... You know, a bullet's only this big. Y'all gave me a pound of redwood.

166
00:17:23,569 --> 00:17:28,640
That's cottonwood. You should know. Heard you wanted Nick to chop down the whole tree. I did.

167
00:17:29,300 --> 00:17:35,540
Tell us about the bullet now. Striations, lands, grooves? I found some discoloration on the bullet's tail. Check it out.

168
00:17:38,080 --> 00:17:50,650
Ah. Oxidation. Yeah. Copper jacketed. The tail was exposed. Oxidation takes a lot more than 24 hours. Yeah. No way to backdate it, but it's definitely older than y'all's crime scene. ( knocking ) How's it going?

169
00:17:51,070 --> 00:18:04,930
Well, we've got the wrong bullet, but the case still seems like a write-off. Yeah. Nothing we have says that it wasn't a hunting accident. Insurance policy, two months old. A million bucks goes to the widow. She was crying poverty when she was in the money? There's more. It wasn't purchased by Mr. Jasper.

170
00:18:05,410 --> 00:18:14,260
She bought it? Monthly installments taken on Mrs. Jasper's credit card. He's in the insurance business, and she buys a policy behind his back.

171
00:18:16,270 --> 00:18:17,860
We've got to find that bullet.

172
00:19:18,070 --> 00:19:28,600
SIDLE: Donna Marks was a telecommuter. Liked to shop-- mail order-- over the phone. I retrieved lots of e-mail confirmations. If she shopped online, why did she place orders over the phone?

173
00:19:28,870 --> 00:19:30,580
Need for human contact?

174
00:19:30,970 --> 00:19:38,740
Without physical contact? She spent time in chat rooms, book clubs, home crafts, collected fountain pens.

175
00:19:39,600 --> 00:19:40,680
Personal e-mails?

176
00:19:43,260 --> 00:19:48,210
Only one buddy on her buddy list. Screen name's "Apollo." Pull up his most recent.

177
00:19:48,480 --> 00:19:50,460
That would be three days ago.

178
00:19:52,920 --> 00:20:01,140
"I know it sounds weird, but... my life began when I first heard your voice..." "When you said my name, it felt so right.

179
00:20:01,830 --> 00:20:03,300
Did you feel it, too?"

180
00:20:07,530 --> 00:20:15,990
It's easy to wear your heart on your sleeve when you're not looking in his eyes. He said her name, so their relationship must have extended beyond the computer.

181
00:20:16,890 --> 00:20:19,620
So, what do we know about this "Apollo"?

182
00:20:19,895 --> 00:20:25,260
( beeping ) You know that garbage-- those numbers at the bottom of every e-mail? Yeah.

183
00:20:26,040 --> 00:20:30,120
It's actually a unique number that registers the location of the sender's terminal.

184
00:20:31,530 --> 00:20:39,060
An address? Internet Protocol address. CSI has access. Seven different IP addresses means he used seven different computers.

185
00:20:39,900 --> 00:20:40,860
That's strange.

186
00:20:41,610 --> 00:20:42,990
Could be a network.

187
00:20:45,660 --> 00:20:49,560
"23000 Ganza Avenue, Ely, Nevada.

188
00:20:50,100 --> 00:20:52,920
Western Nevada Correctional Facility."

189
00:20:53,520 --> 00:20:55,740
Her Greek god is in the slam.

190
00:20:56,817 --> 00:21:01,830
( indistinct voices ) Like it or not, prison is a business.

191
00:21:02,730 --> 00:21:15,000
This facility is privately owned. Contract with the state. Our aim is simple: customer satisfaction. The key to any successful business, huh? Word of mouth. A body in every cot. Criminals are cutting deals to get sent here. I imagine.

192
00:21:15,390 --> 00:21:16,770
It's like a theme park.

193
00:21:17,310 --> 00:21:19,410
More guys through the turnstile, more money we make.

194
00:21:20,520 --> 00:21:22,920
So, as long as I'm in business, you're in business.

195
00:21:23,370 --> 00:21:23,850
K'ching.

196
00:21:28,050 --> 00:21:33,060
Are your inmates allowed to use e-mail anywhere else but here? No. Personal computers are prohibited.

197
00:21:33,570 --> 00:21:40,670
But they're allowed to surf the web; send and receive e-mail? Only at these terminals. And all Internet activity is strictly monitored.

198
00:21:41,480 --> 00:21:46,010
The blouse comes in Laguna Blue, Amazon Green and Tahitian Red, which is our most popular color.

199
00:21:46,790 --> 00:21:47,750
How would you like that shipped?

200
00:21:48,590 --> 00:21:50,810
UPS? Second Day Air? Overnight?

201
00:21:52,227 --> 00:21:58,100
( phones ringing ) Something tells me state funds aren't your only source of revenue.

202
00:21:58,400 --> 00:22:01,760
We have contracts with several retailers. Perfectly legal.

203
00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:18,950
So, let me get this straight. I receive a catalog in the mail. I call a toll-free number to place an order, and I'm giving my personal credit card information to a "Hello, I'm doing 'Time-Life'" operator? Once the order's routed to the fulfillment center, only the retailer has access to it.

204
00:22:19,940 --> 00:22:28,850
All right, let's cut to the chase. I'm investigating the deaths of two young women, one of whom was having a "relationship" with an inmate at this facility. I need to speak to that inmate.

205
00:22:29,060 --> 00:22:30,830
His e-mail alias is "Apollo."

206
00:22:31,100 --> 00:22:31,940
I'll check the log.

207
00:22:38,480 --> 00:22:39,560
I'm sorry. I can't help you.

208
00:22:40,520 --> 00:22:47,660
I can get a warrant. Won't do you much good. Why? Mickey Rutledge, AKA "Apollo," was released three days ago.

209
00:23:09,050 --> 00:23:09,890
Hey.

210
00:23:10,940 --> 00:23:11,630
Hey.

211
00:23:12,140 --> 00:23:14,990
How's the glass puzzle going? Still putting it together.

212
00:23:15,410 --> 00:23:19,880
I'm just doing a trace on Donna Marks' clothing, and I came across this fiber.

213
00:23:20,750 --> 00:23:22,100
Look at this cross section.

214
00:23:23,900 --> 00:23:25,070
SIDLE: Triangular.

215
00:23:25,520 --> 00:23:31,610
That means it can't be clothing fiber. Yeah, short and coarse. Car upholstery?

216
00:23:31,820 --> 00:23:53,030
Yeah... But that still doesn't get us anything. We found both vics near the freeway. We've been thinking vehicle transport from the start. Well, it's from black upholstery. What color was the boyfriend's missing Thunderbird? I'll ask him... and his lawyer. The blood from his shoe was consistent with Donna Marks' DNA. He lied. He was at the house. Really?

217
00:23:53,870 --> 00:24:01,220
What about the blood from Joan Marks' shoe? Also a match. Joan and Gavin both stepped in Donna's blood.

218
00:24:03,020 --> 00:24:06,050
Fine. I went there. We already know that.

219
00:24:06,770 --> 00:24:16,970
We're looking for, "Fine. "I went there... and..." My client went there after the fact. He was looking for his girlfriend-- didn't find her.

220
00:24:17,390 --> 00:24:27,590
Right... he found a crime scene. Broken glass, a pool of blood. BRASS: But you didn't call 911. I was scared. I took off.

221
00:24:28,940 --> 00:24:31,730
Besides, there was a restraining order against me.

222
00:24:32,420 --> 00:24:36,200
Gavin, what color is your car? Your missing Thunderbird?

223
00:24:36,470 --> 00:24:43,340
Blue. Why? Interior? Black. Did you find it? Not yet. But we will.

224
00:24:43,580 --> 00:24:53,840
Okay, the tree is a point of reference. Yeah, and since the bullet didn't hit the tree, and the blood's to the west, then the through-and-through defines our search area.

225
00:24:54,290 --> 00:24:58,610
The furthest drop of blood is here.

226
00:24:59,360 --> 00:25:02,810
The spatter seems to be confined to a 45 degree angle.

227
00:25:03,110 --> 00:25:07,190
So the bullet should be somewhere between your rope and mine.

228
00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:13,160
Yeah, we've reduced a 360 degree crime scene to a 45 degree angle.

229
00:25:13,580 --> 00:25:15,620
Congratulations to us.

230
00:25:16,130 --> 00:25:18,971
Still a needle in a haystack. ( laughs )

231
00:25:56,400 --> 00:25:57,240
Nick?

232
00:25:58,710 --> 00:25:59,460
Yeah?

233
00:26:00,030 --> 00:26:02,910
Let's just pack it up. The bullet couldn't have gone this far.

234
00:26:07,950 --> 00:26:12,570
Hey. Saw your, uh... Tahoe. I didn't expect to see you guys back here.

235
00:26:12,870 --> 00:26:29,310
Yeah, just tying up a few loose ends. Well, maybe this will help. Your dead hunter, James Jasper, didn't purchase a hunting license. Well, he was out of work. Maybe he was trying to save money. A license is 24 bucks. Hunting without one is a $1,000 fine and up to six months in jail. Whoa.

236
00:26:30,090 --> 00:26:31,920
Well, that's not worth the risk.

237
00:26:32,340 --> 00:26:43,290
Maybe he wasn't up here to hunt. We haven't heard a single shot all day. Where are these hunters that you talked about? Well, you only hunt deer at dusk and at dawn. Right, right, feeding time. It's... when they're out in the open.

238
00:26:43,500 --> 00:26:44,790
What about other game?

239
00:26:45,240 --> 00:26:49,080
This time of year, only deer's in season. You can take off those vests if you want.

240
00:26:49,320 --> 00:26:58,980
No one hunts during the day, but the coroner placed Jasper's time of death at 2:00 p.m. Yeah. That's an odd time for a hunting accident.

241
00:27:05,730 --> 00:27:17,430
Hey. Hey. Brass is holding the boyfriend on a TRO violation. I'm going back to the lab to process the prints we lifted from the toilet seat. Guy claims he was in and out. I'm thinking no time to make a pit stop. I processed the prints.

242
00:27:18,300 --> 00:27:23,700
You did? They're not a match to Joan's boyfriend. What? But... we do have a match.

243
00:27:24,660 --> 00:27:25,980
Donna's cyber-boyfriend?

244
00:27:26,910 --> 00:27:38,510
I thought he was in jail. Released last week. His parole officer brought him in. You're fishing, I just got out of the joint. I was never at Donna's house. We found your fingerprints on the toilet seat in her bathroom.

245
00:27:40,100 --> 00:27:42,590
What are you going to do, arrest me for flushing a toilet?

246
00:27:43,640 --> 00:27:46,580
Well, unfortunately, I can't arrest you for lying.

247
00:27:47,240 --> 00:27:48,440
Help me out here, will you?

248
00:27:49,250 --> 00:28:00,770
Mickey, you have the right to an attorney. But, if you're not hiding anything, I suggest you answer their questions. ( sighs ) Look, we met over the Internet.

249
00:28:02,030 --> 00:28:09,830
We had a lot in common. Donna understood my situation. When I told her I was getting out... well, she invited me over.

250
00:28:12,020 --> 00:28:14,180
No one's ever brought me flowers.

251
00:28:15,290 --> 00:28:16,910
She served takeout.

252
00:28:17,660 --> 00:28:20,777
( chuckling ): What do I care? It wasn't chipped beef. ( chuckling )

253
00:28:24,980 --> 00:28:25,760
How is it?

254
00:28:26,600 --> 00:28:37,670
Sweet and sour pork. My favorite. So she invites you for lunch. Everything's great. And, somewhere between the fortune cookies and sunset... Donna and her sister are both murdered.

255
00:28:40,190 --> 00:28:41,000
Thoughts?

256
00:28:41,269 --> 00:28:44,630
( nervous chuckle ) I think the sister's a piece of work.

257
00:28:45,320 --> 00:28:53,000
Soon as we finish eating, she shows up... ...with an attitude. This is my house, too! I'm paying the taxes.

258
00:28:53,630 --> 00:28:54,950
Who the hell is this?

259
00:28:55,190 --> 00:29:01,670
First thing I learned in the joint-- when inmates are fighting, you make yourself invisible. So I got out of there.

260
00:29:02,270 --> 00:29:10,850
Six months ago, Donna Marks ordered a sweater and two scarves from Magnolia Apparel. You took the order.

261
00:29:11,180 --> 00:29:17,240
I took 50 calls a day. How many of your callers invited you home and served you Chinese food?

262
00:29:20,030 --> 00:29:26,510
When Donna placed her order for the clothes, she gave you her e-mail address, didn't she?

263
00:29:27,560 --> 00:29:33,550
Yeah. She was lonely. She struck up a conversation with me. Reached out.

264
00:29:35,620 --> 00:29:39,340
Hey... you know, I don't usually meet girls like Donna.

265
00:29:40,630 --> 00:29:42,070
She was nice.

266
00:29:42,400 --> 00:29:57,160
She was vulnerable. No social life, no friends, not even a cat. All she had was her work. She ordered from catalogs to give herself something to look forward to. You know, Mickey, I don't think your intention was to kill.

267
00:29:57,430 --> 00:30:00,760
All of your priors are for nonviolent activities, right?

268
00:30:01,030 --> 00:30:04,780
Look, I've been in the system. I know the law.

269
00:30:05,020 --> 00:30:07,210
I admit I was there.

270
00:30:08,470 --> 00:30:09,580
So what?

271
00:30:14,950 --> 00:30:16,180
You know where to find me.

272
00:30:22,630 --> 00:30:23,770
I'll keep my eye on him.

273
00:30:29,610 --> 00:30:40,920
Joan's boyfriend, Gavin Pallard-- blood on his shoe and a TRO. Donna's boyfriend, Mickey Rutledge-- opportunity and a rap sheet. Both hid the truth... until confronted with the evidence.

274
00:30:41,940 --> 00:30:45,600
Well, we know we have two liars.

275
00:30:47,790 --> 00:30:49,200
Do we have a killer?

276
00:30:57,540 --> 00:30:58,170
Hey.

277
00:31:00,180 --> 00:31:01,290
Point of impact.

278
00:31:03,390 --> 00:31:13,110
It's, uh... Sixty-... five inches from the base. So what does that tell us?

279
00:31:13,710 --> 00:31:21,120
Well, Donna was five-six. If she was thrown through that glass, the point of impact would have been lower-- closer to the ground.

280
00:31:24,990 --> 00:31:27,120
She had multiple incised wounds.

281
00:31:27,510 --> 00:31:35,220
But the only contusion was on her forehead, suggesting that that's where contact was made. So she was standing upright when she went through the door.

282
00:31:38,880 --> 00:31:40,110
She walked through it.

283
00:31:40,530 --> 00:31:42,180
Are you saying it was an accident?

284
00:31:42,690 --> 00:31:45,090
It's your science. Thanks. Nice work.

285
00:31:45,930 --> 00:31:53,070
PD found Gavin Pallard's Thunderbird hidden off the 169, five miles from the dump site. Hook up with Auto Detail. Tow it in.

286
00:32:03,330 --> 00:32:09,360
Radiator's cracked. Well, that might explain why Joan bought coolant twice in the last week from a convenience store.

287
00:32:10,290 --> 00:32:28,220
We ran her credit cards. Well... whoever drove this puppy last filled up the radiator fluid. But, instead of coolant, they used water. Either someone unfamiliar with the car, or... someone in a desperate situation maybe. Radiator cap. I'll print it. Good.

288
00:32:29,390 --> 00:32:31,370
Grab me a sample of fluid, too, will you?

289
00:32:34,415 --> 00:32:36,950
( spritzing ) Gunshot residue.

290
00:32:38,180 --> 00:32:40,610
Expect the unexpected.

291
00:32:41,390 --> 00:32:48,710
GSR on the clothing means the victim was shot at close range. ( gunshot ) So now what? We're thinking murder?

292
00:32:49,760 --> 00:32:51,020
Or suicide.

293
00:32:51,260 --> 00:32:54,050
He never fired his rifle. What did he shoot himself with?

294
00:32:55,250 --> 00:33:07,880
Okay. But, if he was murdered, we should have found some evidence of the killer at the crime scene. Yeah. Not to mention, whoever shot him would have been eyeball-to-eyeball. Who could have gotten that close Exactly. without Mr. Jasper putting up a struggle?

295
00:33:10,460 --> 00:33:12,050
Somebody he knew.

296
00:33:12,530 --> 00:33:16,070
I'm going to call on Vega, see if he's checked out Mrs. Jasper's alibi.

297
00:33:16,430 --> 00:33:18,050
I'll meet you at the car. Okay. All right.

298
00:33:19,220 --> 00:33:20,210
Hey, Nick. Hey, Sara.

299
00:33:20,600 --> 00:33:22,160
Hey, how's your case going?

300
00:33:23,060 --> 00:33:26,030
You ever try to print a radiator cap?

301
00:33:26,330 --> 00:33:33,920
Smudge City. Yeah. Yeah, I know. It's impossible. But it's just a radiator cap, so give yourself a break. Thank you.

302
00:33:35,300 --> 00:33:39,260
Hey, Sara... you gotta get out more.

303
00:33:46,790 --> 00:33:50,000
So you got this water from a radiator? Yes.

304
00:33:51,140 --> 00:33:52,850
Well, it ain't no Rocky Mountain Spring.

305
00:33:53,060 --> 00:33:54,350
What is it, Greg?

306
00:33:54,950 --> 00:33:56,450
Nasty sodium count.

307
00:33:56,660 --> 00:33:58,730
Potassium, phosphorus.

308
00:34:03,320 --> 00:34:04,310
You've got that look.

309
00:34:05,390 --> 00:34:06,290
What did I say right?

310
00:34:09,679 --> 00:34:10,699
STOKES: Okay.

311
00:34:11,060 --> 00:34:13,159
Thanks for the info. We'll keep you posted.

312
00:34:14,690 --> 00:34:21,350
Well, Mrs. Jasper's alibi checks out. She was at work from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Ate lunch at her desk.

313
00:34:22,130 --> 00:34:23,690
She didn't kill her husband.

314
00:34:24,400 --> 00:34:25,719
Murder for hire?

315
00:34:26,750 --> 00:34:28,630
A pro would have shot him in the heart.

316
00:34:29,020 --> 00:34:30,639
This guy was shot in the gut.

317
00:34:31,179 --> 00:34:33,610
Bullet didn't even come close to his spinal cord.

318
00:34:36,280 --> 00:34:47,409
Wait a minute, now. Abdominal injuries take time to bleed out, and it would have taken at least ten minutes for hemorrhagic shock to set in, and he would have been mobile? Right. But he never moved.

319
00:34:48,159 --> 00:34:56,679
He was standing in front of this tree when he was shot. He didn't try to get to his car, get help... He just... sat down and waited to die.

320
00:34:57,280 --> 00:34:57,910
Yeah.

321
00:34:59,080 --> 00:35:00,700
Yeah, I see where you're going here.

322
00:35:01,660 --> 00:35:07,960
His injuries and his behavior aren't consistent with murder. But they're not consistent with suicide either.

323
00:35:08,770 --> 00:35:16,239
99 out of 100 suicides by gun... ...muzzle to the mouth, bullet to the brain. But there's always just that one.

324
00:35:16,510 --> 00:35:29,710
Look, suicidals want it quick and painless. Bleeding to death is slow and painful. Not to mention, he never fired his rifle. No, the weapon we found was never fired.

325
00:35:30,350 --> 00:35:34,480
That... that's a big stretch. He brought his rifle plus a spare?

326
00:35:35,350 --> 00:35:45,340
He shoots himself in the gut, leaving himself time to hide the weapon. Yeah, but there's no blood trail. What did he do with the spare? Throw it up a tree?

327
00:35:48,250 --> 00:35:49,600
How about the lake?

328
00:35:52,870 --> 00:35:55,600
Yeah. Yeah, okay. Heads up.

329
00:36:05,560 --> 00:36:07,300
I just marked our search area.

330
00:36:12,100 --> 00:36:20,230
You know, even if your theory's right, we still haven't explained the insurance policy purchased by the wife.

331
00:36:24,300 --> 00:36:24,930
Hey.

332
00:36:26,610 --> 00:36:27,960
Metal on metal.

333
00:36:30,580 --> 00:36:31,740
Hold up. Let me give you a hand.

334
00:36:32,160 --> 00:36:32,549
Okay.

335
00:36:34,380 --> 00:36:35,010
Right there.

336
00:36:35,550 --> 00:36:37,140
Yeah. Yeah, I got it.

337
00:36:37,350 --> 00:36:38,040
I got it.

338
00:36:41,040 --> 00:36:41,640
Whoa.

339
00:36:43,560 --> 00:36:44,790
Water pistol.

340
00:36:45,930 --> 00:36:48,390
Well, we never found the bullet, but we found the gun.

341
00:36:51,434 --> 00:36:53,202
( gunshot )

342
00:36:59,442 --> 00:37:05,130
( splashing ) Mr. Jasper committed suicide.

343
00:37:07,050 --> 00:37:08,970
And the wife's out a million bucks.

344
00:37:11,040 --> 00:37:11,940
Thank you.

345
00:37:15,030 --> 00:37:24,570
Mrs. Jasper, you purchased a life insurance policy on your husband in which you are the sole beneficiary.

346
00:37:25,710 --> 00:37:27,870
I don't know what you're talking about.

347
00:37:29,400 --> 00:37:39,900
We have the actual application for the policy with your signature. Ma'am, you are aware that insurance policies exclude suicide?

348
00:37:40,680 --> 00:37:47,490
Your husband staged his death to look like a homicide.

349
00:37:47,880 --> 00:38:01,650
As a beneficiary, if you knew of his intentions to take his own life, that would constitute fraud. If I knew, I would have stopped him.

350
00:38:03,300 --> 00:38:05,310
Jimmy was everything to me.

351
00:38:06,510 --> 00:38:09,990
I didn't buy the policy. I didn't know about his plans.

352
00:38:10,590 --> 00:38:10,920
Hi.

353
00:38:11,910 --> 00:38:12,390
Hi.

354
00:38:17,670 --> 00:38:18,840
You want to explain this?

355
00:38:19,730 --> 00:38:20,420
Sure.

356
00:38:24,770 --> 00:38:29,660
Mrs. Jasper, when you claimed your husband's personal possessions, you signed a release form, yeah?

357
00:38:30,980 --> 00:38:39,800
Well, I ran that same form through our Questionable Documents Lab, and I cross-checked your signature with the signature on the insurance application here.

358
00:38:41,720 --> 00:38:42,980
It's not yours.

359
00:38:44,240 --> 00:38:46,850
Your husband must have forged it.

360
00:38:47,090 --> 00:38:49,850
I also checked with the insurance company.

361
00:38:50,570 --> 00:38:53,060
Your husband opened the account.

362
00:38:55,220 --> 00:38:55,610
Why?

363
00:38:56,150 --> 00:38:57,110
Why?

364
00:38:57,410 --> 00:39:00,170
I don't understand that. Why did he do that?

365
00:39:01,280 --> 00:39:15,650
Because he knew that, if he had bought the insurance himself, it would have sent up a red flag. ( voice breaking ): So what you're saying is... that my husband killed himself for me?

366
00:39:18,590 --> 00:39:19,280
Yes, ma'am.

367
00:39:26,280 --> 00:39:38,930
Well, it may sound funny, but I'm proud of it. Took almost a year to put in my new fertigation system. Automatically mixes the fertilizer with the irrigation system. How about that? Economical and practical. What you're looking for is over here.

368
00:39:44,450 --> 00:39:55,430
Cars are always overheating on this stretch, and everyone thinks water's free. What do you use in your fertilizer? Nitrogen, phosphorous and potassium? Standard 6-10-10 mixture.

369
00:39:56,810 --> 00:40:00,590
Mr. Willoughby, would you mind if I fingerprint your spigot?

370
00:40:00,920 --> 00:40:03,050
No one's ever asked me that before.

371
00:40:24,790 --> 00:40:25,570
Thirsty?

372
00:40:26,200 --> 00:40:27,310
I'm good, thanks.

373
00:40:27,760 --> 00:40:31,180
Yeah, I wouldn't drink it either. I wouldn't even put it in my radiator.

374
00:40:33,760 --> 00:40:49,360
I don't have all the pieces yet, Mickey, but, uh... I'll tell you what we do have. You're an ex-con. Get the hell out of here! Don't listen to her, Mickey. This is my house. This is my life! You're so desperate, you've got to get a date through the computer, then you end up with him. Pathetic!

375
00:40:50,110 --> 00:40:55,060
We know that Joan scratched Donna. We also know that Donna died first.

376
00:40:55,270 --> 00:40:56,680
I didn't kill her.

377
00:40:57,610 --> 00:41:02,740
That's right, you didn't. You are so selfish! Stop it! Get your hands off me! No!

378
00:41:03,040 --> 00:41:05,110
Donna's death was an accident. Agh!

379
00:41:05,875 --> 00:41:13,330
( glass breaking ) But Joan went off on you. And, up to that point, you hadn't done anything wrong.

380
00:41:13,750 --> 00:41:15,310
So what went wrong?

381
00:41:16,270 --> 00:41:17,740
It wasn't my fault.

382
00:41:18,580 --> 00:41:19,480
She's dead.

383
00:41:19,810 --> 00:41:22,240
You're going right back where you came from.

384
00:41:25,349 --> 00:41:34,240
( sighs heavily ) Rehabilitation was working for me. But you put a guy in that position... He's got to go all the way.

385
00:41:35,156 --> 00:41:39,726
( Joan screams ) ( bones crunching )

386
00:41:42,760 --> 00:41:45,310
You figured, if you hid the bodies, you'd be in the clear.

387
00:41:45,790 --> 00:41:47,620
But you didn't have a car.

388
00:41:48,520 --> 00:41:49,570
Joan did.

389
00:42:04,210 --> 00:42:07,420
You could've just backed off, let Joan make the call.

390
00:42:07,904 --> 00:42:13,360
( skeptical chuckle ) I would've landed myself right back in the joint. You don't know that.

391
00:42:13,720 --> 00:42:14,230
Come on.

392
00:42:15,220 --> 00:42:16,830
Who's going to believe a guy like me?

393
00:42:18,930 --> 00:42:19,890
A guy like me.

394
00:43:22,760 --> 00:43:29,130
( dialing beeps ) ( phone ringing ) Hey, it's Sara.

395
00:43:30,750 --> 00:43:36,090
I was, uh... thinking... You want to go out... somewhere?

396
00:43:37,394 --> 00:43:41,031
