Uh, too much foam. The party was over. Most of the responsible young adults had split. It's amazing how the sight of blood can clear a room. Yeah. I'll tell you what we got. My guys are talking with the girl who found the body, but even sober, she's not gonna be much help. Wonder what made this wound? Looks like a puncture. Ice pick, maybe?

Do you want to tell me why you left your shoe behind? Heel broke. And the fact it had blood on it, that wasn't the reason? Never saw blood. I see. I did some checking-- because that's what I do-- and you and our victim had a relationship a while back.

00:28:56,768 --> 00:28:58,503
So, it was just the two of you?

105
00:28:59,971 --> 00:29:09,147
VEGA: This lady you told us about-- the one who was driving, the one with the pink hair-- where did you meet her? I don't know. You remember, Lindsey. Just think about it.

106
00:29:14,586 --> 00:29:30,802
I fell asleep in the car, and I woke up when we stopped. Was this at a house? No. It was a building. SIDLE: Was it an apartment building, maybe, or maybe an office building? I don't know. Why did you stop there?

107
00:29:38,643 --> 00:29:55,126
Daddy said he had a meeting. He told me to stay in the car and keep the doors locked. You mean he left you in the car alone. Catherine... You mean he left you in the car alone. Catherine... Mom, Mom, it's okay. I said I could take care of myself. I told him I could stay in the car. Just don't be mad at him. He didn't do anything wrong. It's okay, Lindsey. Nobody's mad at anybody.

108
00:29:56,995 --> 00:29:59,564
Can I talk to you for a second?

109
00:30:07,605 --> 00:30:09,908
(  sighs  ) It's okay.

110
00:30:21,319 --> 00:30:38,937
VEGA: This lady was at the building? She was outside in the parking lot. Eddie. Candeece! Baby! Where were you? What's the matter, honey? Sugar, what's the matter with you? Oh! This lady with the pink hair... was she your father's girlfriend?

111
00:30:42,807 --> 00:30:55,520
I called you a million times! What are you talking about? Why didn't you answer your phone? Maybe. Well, he was mad at her. And-and then th-they were running back to the car. Daddy was holding his stomach.

112
00:30:58,923 --> 00:31:04,629
(  groaning  ) Daddy, what's wrong? It's just a stomachache, honey. I'll be fine.

Hi, uh... Croix Richards and Trey Buchman. Same profession, same employer, same cause of death. Yeah. Insulin poisoning. Not your typical male MO. Lady Heather a suspect? I can't rule anybody out. Catherine... (  sighs  ) I'm sorry about Eddie and your daughter. Uh, if... if you'd like to take some time off or... I'm okay. Lindsey's... We're okay.

116
00:33:02,980 --> 00:33:38,783
STOKES: Hey, Catherine. BROWN: Hey. We heard about what happened. I'm so sorry. Yeah, if you or Lindsey I'm so sorry. Yeah, if you or Lindsey need anything at all... Thanks, you guys. Yeah. Thanks, you guys. Yeah. Why don't you catch us up. Yeah. Credit card transactions for Lady Heather's website. Both our victims worked in the chat room. We cross-referenced their clients. They're all ladies. And looks like both victims They're all ladies. And looks like both victims died approximately four weeks apart. BROWN: Killers usually don't stray too far from home. Especially for repeat crimes. Yeah, I'm squeezing the Las Vegas search area.

121
00:34:39,409 --> 00:34:52,255
Hi. Sorry to keep you waiting. So, what can I do to help out the Las Vegas Crime Lab? You could tell us about your relationship with Croix Richards. Well, uh, I hired Croix Richards to dominate Rebecca.

122
00:34:53,123 --> 00:35:12,243
Would you like a chocolate? Uh, they're Godiva. WILLOWS: No, thanks. I guess you could say that, uh, Mr. Richards worked for me. We were hoping that he might help ease some of Rebecca's sexual difficulties. WILLOWS: Extra-marital sex to help your relationship problems?

123
00:35:13,411 --> 00:35:21,152
The problem wasn't with our relationship, it was with my wife's lack of experience. GRISSOM: Which Mr. Richards helped you with?

124
00:35:22,520 --> 00:35:34,265
Yes. First over the Internet, and then we, uh, we met with him a few times. We? Yeah, yes. (  chuckles  ) I participated in the sessions, yes.

125
00:35:34,799 --> 00:35:40,505
Do you take this man to be your wedded husband? Love, honor, and obey. Say it! Love, honor, and obey. Say it!

126
00:35:42,173 --> 00:35:54,151
And these sessions were held at Lady Heather's? Yes. Lady Heather thought it would be best if I was involved. I'm sure secrets would've made the problem worse, at that point. Mm.

127
00:35:55,453 --> 00:36:25,883
Mrs. McCormick, did you meet Trey Buchman at Lady Heather's? Oh, I'm sorry, who? GRISSOM: He worked for Lady Heather as well. He's also dead. Oh, uh... I don't know who Trey Buchman is. Your wife does. Oh. I met Trey on Lady Heather's website. Our encounters were only online. Like this? Is this okay? No, it's not okay! Don't want to listen, you stupid bitch? GRISSOM: And the night you and I met at the Tangiers?

128
00:36:28,419 --> 00:36:37,862
Croix was fun. Uh, I wanted more experience, variation. I made a date with Trey. He never showed up.

129
00:36:40,164 --> 00:36:48,806
Well, Mrs. McCormick, I'd like to get a sample of your hair and DNA for comparison. Rebecca will give you anything that you need.

134
00:38:44,855 --> 00:39:29,500
Let's take it from the bridge. Eddie was just in it for the quick score. You know, cut a demo, sell a contract, get a ride on the charts and you just ride that wave. This girl was different. Yeah, he was banging her. Yeah, but he had something for her, knowing how much potential she had. I never seen Eddie so dedicated. Nothing was gonna stop him from making her a star.

Problem isn't the vocals, man, it's the extra bass line I keep getting from the Village People outside with that damn jackhammer. All right, Enrique, let's pick it up from the second chorus. Aren't recording studios supposed to be soundproof? Lady, if the guy standing next to you is Clive Davis, instead of a cop, it would be. After Candeece left, did you guys keep recording? Um, yeah, a few more hours. We were redoing a drum track.

We're gonna need to take a look at those tapes. BROWN: Okay, the hair on the left is from Trey Buchman's room at the Sphere hotel. The hair on the right is a sample we took from Rebecca McCormick. Cuticles on both are shiny and smooth. Telltale signs the hair has been treated. Cortex isn't letting any light through. It lets us know the hair's been colored. The medullas are continuous. I can't be definitive without DNA, but, uh, both hairs are consistent. They look like Rebecca McCormick's.

136
00:40:04,668 --> 00:40:17,014
WILLOWS: So she lied to you guys at the hotel, she lied to us at the house. She's been with him, not just online. But her husband only knew about the guy he hired, Croix Richards. He had no idea that she hired Trey Buchman.

Steven McCormick wanted his wife to have a session. It's not uncommon. When a client achieves liberation, they often want their spouse to share that feeling. Though, in this particular instance, I advised the husband to pursue avenues more suited to the temperament of his marriage. Well, I guess you couldn't say no. I learned that Mr. McCormick is an investor in your Internet site. That's a matter of public record. Did he ever tell you, specifically, what his wife's problem was? The fault lay not in his wife, but in himself. Steven believed his wife was repressed, but once she opened up... A Pandora's Box? All the evils of their marriage unleashed?

138
00:40:59,590 --> 00:41:03,694

But he chose a woman who didn't understand the dynamics of a dominant-submissive relationship. Unfortunately, the language we speak in here doesn't necessarily translate to the world out there. No, in here, the submissive has the power. All he has to do is say the safety word, and everything stops.

Eddie's my manager, and it's no big secret. We were supposed to be working last night, and the jerk blew me off. VEGA: So, you never saw him last night? No. What happened to your wrist?

152
00:43:30,407 --> 00:43:41,952
Oh, uh... I got, uh... um... Because, uh, according to Desert Palms Emergency Room, you came in last night with a fracture of the ulna. It's a common injury in car accidents-- air bag specific.

153
00:43:44,488 --> 00:44:11,181
SIDLE (  over speaker  ): Air bags are packed with cornstarch or talc. It helps them deploy. It also wreaks havoc on the eyes. We know you saw Eddie last night. We know that you were driving his car. It all happened so fast, you know? One minute I was, I was just outside getting some air and thinking, you know? And-and then... the next, my manager is stumbling towards me, bleeding.

154

Candeece, baby, I'm shot! Eddie! Oh, my God! Candeece, baby, I'm shot! Eddie! Oh, my God! (  gasping  ) I'll get you to the car. Everything's gonna be okay, honey. Okay, don't be afraid. Sounds pretty heroic. Not really. When you're intimate with somebody, you can't imagine life without them.

00:44:30,934 --> 00:44:32,735
We were partners.

156
00:44:34,238 --> 00:44:41,111
I loved him. I thought I was gonna die. There were two other people in the car.

157
00:44:42,713 --> 00:45:17,714
That's what I meant, you know? I thought we were all gonna die. Search and Rescue found Eddie's body 100 yards downstream. See, that's where it gets a little less heroic. We found Lindsey alone in a sinking car. I tried to get Eddie out. He was unconscious, and that... that kid kept screaming. (  stammers  ) The current was really strong, and we got swept downstream. What was I supposed to do? Get to a phone, call the cops, call an ambulance, anything, actually, other than what you did. I'm just one person. Eddie is my priority, not that... that... stupid, screaming little brat.

I've been here a lot longer than you. And you should know better. And I wouldn't have to be here if you were doing your job properly. There is a difference between me doing my job, and you wanting to do it for me. You don't want to get the job done. What you want, right now, is revenge. You're gonna tell me what I want, huh?

Well, "similar" doesn't mean me. No, but the DNA we also recovered from under the sheets does mean you. BRASS: Sounds like a physical encounter to me.

169
00:48:03,880 --> 00:48:13,123
So, since I pay for sex, I must also be a murderer? No, it's just that everybody you pay for sex ends up dead. I don't like you.

Well, modern recording's all digital, so each track's recorded in a separate data file. By looking at the file modification times, we can approximate which tracks were recorded near the time of the shooting. Catherine left Eddie at 5:30 p.m. Lindsey's first call was logged at 10:55.

175
00:49:14,284 --> 00:49:40,977
Let's see, well... only two tracks were laid down during that time interval. "7:41: acoustic guitar. 10:38: drum kit." Let's look at the drum track. (  medium-tempo drumbeat playing  ) There's the kit drum. So, any irregularity in the pattern could be from an outside source. Yeah. Right here. A sudden change in amplitude. Can you isolate it? Yeah.

Feels like an engine. V-twin, maybe a Harley. Must've been somebody else there. Think we got a witness? Or a suspect. Hey. I was able to pull the phone records for Candeece. She made six calls that night. First five went to Eddie. But not the last one. You got an address? MAN: I get all kind of calls. It could've been a girl that I slept with. Or a girl that I didn't sleep with. (  dog barking  ) Could've been a wrong number. Since when do wrong numbers last for four minutes? Well, you hear a sexy voice for four minutes? Well, you hear a sexy voice on the phone, what are you gonna do, you gonna hang up? So, you do remember the call. I like your Harley.

Look, Kiner, you're on parole; you got no rights. Looking at two strikes. I'm not trying to pull a fast ball on you, but it's not the first time that you've talked to Candeece. KINER: All right, so maybe me and Candy are friends. VEGA: Were friends. You guys used to talk once a day. Then she stopped calling you, until last night. People change. She fell into a bad element.

181
00:51:05,695 --> 00:51:16,239

00:51:17,174 --> 00:51:35,659
Candy needed help. EDDIE: Hey, hey, hey! What're you doing here, huh? Who the hell are you? What are you selling her drugs for? What are you doing? I wanted you clean, huh. Hey, come on. I wanted you clean, huh. Hey, come on. Hey, please... What do you want, huh? Is this what you want? (  gunshot  ) I got on my hog. I got the hell out of there. What do you expect me to do? Go back to the joint for her?

(  over speaker  ): Mr. Grissom collected samples of my insulin. He's undoubtedly identified it as non-synthetic. BRASS: He told me it was beef insulin. HEATHER: Which, I take it, matches the insulin found in the two victims. Do you know that only 7% of diabetics in this country use an animal-based insulin? And you import yours from Great Britain. HEATHER: Which narrows the field down even further. BRASS: Right into your dominion. My personal area is open. Anyone could've walked right in and stolen from me.

00:55:21,551 --> 00:55:23,787
May I see your hands, please?

201
00:55:32,262 --> 00:55:33,797
Other side.

202
00:55:41,037 --> 00:55:42,639
They look clean.

203
00:55:43,940 --> 00:55:45,075
Mm.

204
00:55:46,242 --> 00:55:48,078
Should they be?

205
00:55:51,881 --> 00:55:59,789
I don't know. If it were my spouse, I would've touched the body. Mm. I didn't.

206
00:56:13,336 --> 00:56:41,531
Kiner is a drug dealer. Your drug dealer. No. Not anymore. Eddie got me off all that stuff. VEGA: You called Kiner. He came here. I tried to call Eddie. He had his phone off. He was with his pain-in-the-ass daughter and that psycho ex-wife of his. I was just alone in front of a microphone with my whole career riding on a demo. It's none of your business. (  indistinct shouting  ) Hey, hey, Eddie. What? (  gunshot  ) (  grunts  ) (  gunshot  ) (  grunts  ) I thought Eddie wasn't coming.

207
00:56:43,299 --> 00:56:46,035
I guess he was just late.

208
00:56:50,240 --> 00:57:14,998
The material we found in Rebecca McCormick's wound was nylon thread with fragments of ostrich feather. Oh, I know that look. We're going back to Lady Heather's. I can take care of this myself. Gil, do me a favor. Get a sports car. It's a lot cheaper and easier to handle. (  doorbell rings  ) I'd like to come in. Of course you would. Say the magic word.

209
00:57:16,065 --> 00:57:19,235
Warrant? We don't have one.

210
00:57:20,403 --> 00:57:37,687
GRISSOM: The, uh, submissive that was in here yesterday was wearing a feather boa. That would be Chloe. Chloe, uh...? Chloe Samms. She uses it as a garrote-- a way to control her breathing to heighten the experience for the dominant client. Hm.

211
00:57:53,269 --> 00:57:58,975
Same scent as Trey Buchman's crime scene. Remember the strawberry foam?

212
00:58:00,577 --> 00:58:13,022
Do these belong to Chloe? I believe so. Do these belong to Chloe? I believe so. BRASS: Well, the shoes link Chloe to the nightclub, and this job links Chloe to the two vics. Where is she? She quit yesterday. I bet I know why. Well, if she's in town, I'll find her.

213
00:58:18,695 --> 00:58:23,833
I owe you an apology. Apologies are just words.

214
00:58:32,909 --> 00:58:35,278
So, you're calling it?

215
00:58:40,350 --> 00:58:51,094
I got two liars and no murder weapon... and no choice. I'm gonna nail the singer on child endangerment, and fleeing the scene, and the dealer goes up on possession for sale.

216
00:58:56,366 --> 00:59:00,270
(  sighs  ) What a great bedtime story for my little girl.

217
00:59:01,437 --> 00:59:03,873
Cat, I did my best.

218
00:59:07,977 --> 00:59:16,886
No-needle syringe used on the vic at the foam party. I recovered some epithelials from the plunger end, compared them to your reference sample.

219
00:59:21,124 --> 00:59:25,929
That girl you have in custody, it's her DNA. Case closed.

220
00:59:27,330 --> 00:59:28,932
Thank you, Greg.

221
00:59:44,280 --> 00:59:45,715
Look familiar?

222
00:59:49,352 --> 00:59:55,758
Insulin was injected into Trey Buchman's shoulder at this end... by you.

223
01:00:02,465 --> 01:00:10,073
Your epithelials were found at the plunger end. Epithelials are skin cells filled with DNA.

224
01:00:11,941 --> 01:00:19,382
Your genetic fingerprint. BRASS: So, you're gonna tell us why, and you're gonna tell us why you strangled Rebecca McCormick.

225
01:00:20,817 --> 01:00:22,986
For Steven.

226
01:00:26,189 --> 01:00:28,124
I belong to him.

227
01:00:29,826 --> 01:00:40,136
McCORMICK: Chloe had a problem controlling her emotions. She let things get personal. Define "personal," in your crowd. In my "crowd"? Yeah. In my "crowd"? Yeah.

228
01:00:41,871 --> 01:00:59,422
(  moaning  ) GRISSOM: So, you started seeing each other outside of Lady Heather's? We'd meet occasionally, yes. Listen... my wife had a problem with sex. Sounds like she had a problem with you, pal.

229
01:01:00,556 --> 01:01:25,081
My wife had a problem with sex. And at Lady Heather's, I fixed her. Oh, you fixed her? Yes. She stay fixed? Yes. She stay fixed? Yeah, you fixed her so good that she started spending your money to get other men to give her what you couldn't. Rebecca was out of control. So you got her to kill Richards and Buchman. No, I didn't. And then you told her to kill your wife. No, I loved my wife. I didn't tell Chloe to do anything. What happened? She killed Richards and Buchman on her own.

230
01:01:27,417 --> 01:01:29,986
Okay.

231
01:01:33,756 --> 01:01:37,093
Chloe thought that killing your wife's lovers would please you.

232
01:01:39,062 --> 01:01:46,436
And it did please you. I told her to stop. But she didn't obey you. She killed your wife.

233
01:01:48,204 --> 01:01:50,807
You couldn't make Chloe do what you wanted.

234
01:01:51,808 --> 01:01:58,281
All that time at Lady Heather's, and you never learned that the submissive is the one in control?

235
01:02:01,017 --> 01:02:03,152
I told her to stop.

236
01:02:32,715 --> 01:02:34,951
