Show: CSI NY - 2x15
Someone a lot wiser than me once said there is no cure for birth and death save to enjoy the interval.
Truer words have never been spoken.
And as I lay here,rest assured, I enjoyed every minute of it.
Life has a tendency to get in the way of all the living, all the adventure.
so for god's sake.
have fun, bearing witness to your ambition, your kindness, your.unbridled curiosity.
I hope you're enjoying every minute of your life.
For that would be the last answereprayer of this old man.
thanks.
One minute you're mourning a loved one, the next minute,your loved ones are mourning you.
What have we got?
A single gunshot wound to the chest.
He bled out right here.
Got and?
Kyle vance, assistant district attorney in manhattan.
I testified for him in the mcshane homicides.
Kyle vance's briefcase is unzipped.
He prosecuted homicides.
Maybe the shooter was looking for something inside.
piece of yellow rubber.
It's from a balloon.
Okay,I've heard of flowers at a cemetery,but balons?
Some people celebrate life.
Others.
celebrate death.
CSI NY 215 -------------------------- ����̳��Ļ�����뽻��ѧϰ֮�� ��ֹ�κ���ҵ��;�������Ը� -------------------------- -=COSL-YTETС��=- ����԰��̳ ʱ����:cauorr Shooter left us a present.
Spent shell casing.
9 millimeter.
I've heard about these headstones, but up until now,I've never seen one.
000000************************************************* Samuel Cooper What's his relationship with our victim?
Nobody seems to be able to answer the question.
Jennifer Cooper,Samuel Cooper's granddaughter, she says she came to visit her grandfather and found the victim lying here.
She's never seen him before.
As far as she knows, I h r has her grandfather.
Kyl vanc,what are you doing at samuel c/oper's gr v ?
What are we looking at,detective?
Kathleen dunley.
She live alone?
Yeah Moved to the city about three weeks ago.
Super came up to get her to sign some papers and found the front door open.
No bruising.
no defensive wounds.
No signs of struggle,just a little kinky sex.
Super mention anything about a boyfriend?
Girlfriend,maybe?
He didn't know anything about her personal life.
Boyfriend.
Looking forward to seeing you.Michel.
Player's go o gam .
That should narrow down the playing field.
I'll find michel.
Let's see what else lover boy left us.
All right.
Hey,doc.
Hmm.
whatever it is,I4o4 l/od.
But this sure is.
Sharp force trauma.
Possible cod?
D pending on how deep it is.
Only one way to know for sure.
I'll get a bag.
Hold up.Let's fume here first.
Because if the vic and killer were going at it last night, h% woul have been a l ove2 e .
Rig t,an h e t y t/ r%s r e t e pri t is before we move the body.
Okay,well-defined prints like this means kathleen dunley's killer had something on his hands.
Your victim suffered a gunshot wound to the chest.
I'm guessing the bullet struck the xiphoid process, which perforated the aorta.
You're guessing?
Well,normally I'd be able to tell you for certain, but normally when you get shot,there's a bullet.
We don't even have a bullet fragment.
CT scan didn't pick up anything.
We don't have an exit wound.
I did find a shell casing at the crime scene, but what happened to the bullet?
Stellate tearing on the entry wound makes it difficult to determine, but it's possible your shooter retrieved it.
His lucky bullet,maybe?
Mm.
We have a missing bullet.
Found trace amounts of a burned paper substance here in the wound.
Hmm.
See?
Wh are these guys ever gonna learn?
You never leave a paper trail.
W)l,I m t c e2.
The penal code is his personal to-do list.
Pick a section and he has violated it.
Clearly he wanted something from kyle vance's briefcase.
Call me if you need me,okay?
Thanks,ada kylece had a m/n t%r c s loa .
Every one of his defendants qualifies as a violent persistent felon.
There is one,a guy called.
william tucker?
I hate that you're always one step ahead of me.
Guy's a real piece of work,total thug.
He's got his own wing in rikers.
I must have locked this guy up at least a den times myself.
Does tucker have a case pending?
Vance impaneled a long-term grand jury to investigate pattern robberies on the lower east side.
Subject?
William tucker.
Know where to find him?
Got an idea.
William tucker?
Do I know you?
No,but you knew kyle vance,didn't you?
Hey!
Remember me?
You don't call,you don't write.
I was starting to think you were seeing other deteives,william.
Nah,man.
I'm out of the crime business.
We know you broke into kyle vance's apartment.
Kyle vance.
kyle vance.
No,man.
I don't know him.
Your blood is on his windowsill.
Oh.
That kyle vance.
Mr.Booby-trap,right?
He had glass under the window.
That's pretty good.
You know what else is pretty good?
Your fingerprint on his briefcase found at the murder scene.
Murder scene?
You're kidding me,right?
No,man.
We ain't kidding you.
Listen,I was just doing straight-u reconnaissance,man.
That's it.
What were you looking for?
A witness list?
Whatever it was,you didn't find it in the apartment, so you took him out at the cemetery.
Whoa,whoa,whoa.
Ease up.
Are you telling me the ada on my case is dead?
Must be my lucky day,right?
Think this is a game?
We got you on burglary two, and you're a violent persistent felon.
No more "get out of jail free" cards for you,william.
Look,I don't know nothing about no cemetery, which is obviously where you found this vance guy.
Which means you probably can't put me at the cemetery and now you're pressuring me for a confession.
Which is why your veins are popping out your forehead.
Which means.
we're done here.
We're not done.
until a second life sentence is added to your time.
The burned paper recovered fro 4h% victim s wound was cardboard.
Specifically cardboard wadding, like from a shotgun.
W e n l z d t e gunpowderaround the cardboard, the chemi #omp/s)t on was consistent with ultra-fast burning powder.
O r k)l,e2 7a s o/t) t a4' 7hy 7e d)d '4 &da b llet in the v)c4i .
At close range,the gases from the blank g n%r t d e o ghe4i# %n Maybe we're not looking at an intentional murder.
OKAy,are y uready for this?
Not only was kyle vance an ada, he was also a wedding planner,a travel agent and a casting director.
Kyle vance rented out o e o f c, and then dressed it t/ make it look like three different offices.
When I walked in,it was all set up to be a casting fice.
He had movie posters, video cameras,everyt I g h% 7r%t%n ing t be someonehe a n'T.
But why?
There was also another popped balloon.
And I fou d t e E.
D/ you know a y of those pe/ple?
W kn w her.
Your vic had a full stomach at time of death, which means she died within two hours of eating her last meal.
Sent the contents up to be analyzed.
I also found trace on the back of the deceased's head.
Mostly in her hair.
What is it?
Not my department.
We'd love to know when you find out.
Sid,what's your official cod?
Asphyxiation.
Something inside your vic's mouth blocked her airway.
I found this during my visual.
Trauma to her tongue, buccal mucosam and palate.
circular abrasions.
Even weirder is the two dozen eggs I found laid inside her eardrum.
No.
Eggs?
What species?
Oh,right,that's not your department,sid.
So something burrowed into her ear and laid its eggs.
And then took a hike.
Whatever it was, it's gone now.
Maybe it's the same thing that's responsible for the abrasions in her mouth.
We're going to need to incubate these eggs.
If we can find out what laid them, it might just put us on the trail to our killer.
Trace hammerback found on the back of kathleen dunley's head was flour.
I asked adam to break it down further.
Hey,hey,I think i found the guy who sent our vic the flowers.
M)c e,e u he owns le grand boulangerie,that huge bakery on fifth.
W found fl ur tra o our vic.
Any reason this michel would want to murderk thl e unley?
500,000 reasons.
That's the amount she was suing him for.
R vic's name came up on the insurance claim database.
Made her fortune suing people.
Her targs were mainly restaurants with deep pockets.
She's been around and made a lot of money.
Slip and fall in boston, food poisoning in san francisco, emotional distress in detroit.
Now new york.
Her attorney contacted michel two weeks ago.
Claimed that his client got sick eating the cake she ordered.
So,she threatens to sue him-- he sends her flowers.
That doesn't add up.
Looks like we're gonna have to have a sit-down with this michel.
I was trying to sleep with her.
Did the flowers work?
She was suing me.
I just thought I could convince her otherwise.
Where were you last night?
I don't rember.
You don't remember?
It's been a rough couple weeks.
When's the last time you saw kathleen dunley?
A week ago at a deposition.
My lawyer told me to keep a distance.
Yet you sent her flowers.
I was hoping she would contact me.
You've been drinking?
Some.
So kathleen dunley was going to ruin your career close your shop, cripple you financially.
So did you kill her?
This room make you nervous,michel?
Yeah.
Concrete,bad lighting,cold steel table.
You got to walk through all these uniformed officers just to get in this room.
It's all there for a reason.
Chinese all it feng shui,right?
To me,it just helps me determine whether you're full of crap.
So what is it?
I didn't kill her.
Well,then you won't mind helping us prove that.
you handing out cigars,papa?
Not yet.
The eggs are still incubating.
Any trace of our baker on that bow tie?
The only thing I know is o r k)lle2 hada 17- n -a- alf-I c e K.
H tu looked smaller.
Yeah.
It doesn't help put him at the vic's apartment.
What do you got?
S4o a#h c/n4 safe to say our vic wasn' on the zone.
Water bugs,d c &e4u, w a,e b c/n .
Exotic cuisine.
You think?
No.Exotic cuisine.
I'm talking about this thing that's going on at the grandview regent this week.
Black tie affair where the super rich get together and they eat crazy stuff.
Saw an ad for it yesterday.
Well,that would explain the bow tie, fancy dress by the bed.
What do you think?
You hungry?
Let's go.
All right.
eah,y%a,y%a,s e w s her% a t n)g t y/u s r%?
I was in the ballroom all evening.
O e2s%eing the ev%nt.
Was she with someone?
Yeah.
Some guy.
I only remember because they got in a fight right before dessert.
Jellyfish torte.
Yummy.
Think what you want,detective,but my guests pay $10,000 a plate t eat at these events.
They'2e p%ruvian entiped las4 I h4 7a e o4i# e f/o .
Tonight's event creepy crawlers.
You want to try /n%?
N/,I j s4 t%.
Yeah,they're not for everyone.
when on the upper eastside.
tastes just like chicken,right?
N t really.
Mr.collins,do you remember w at a4hle n d nle 's d t%,o/ked like?
Yeah.
White guy,40's,big-- 200,225,hair club candidate.
I met a lot of people last night.
I'll have someone send ver a guest list.
Thanks.
If you remember anything else.
I can't believe you just ate that.
It's like swallowing a worm in a bottle of tequila.
Check that out.
Look familiar?
The same type of marks we found in our vic's mouth.
Yeah.
But our list of stomach contents didn't include octopus, and there was no tce at the scene.
Killer must have took it with him.
Mr.Collins,did you sveoctopus last night?
Live octopus was our featured appetizer.
Live?
That must be quite difficult to eat.
Not if wrapped properly.
The trick to eating live octopi are in the wrap.
First,you extend the tentacles, then carefully wrap them,making sure everything tied tightly a2o n 4h% st ck.
Wrap it wrong,it'll kill o .
We're going to nee to take these.
Jennifer cooper!
Police!
Look out!
Hey!
stop!
She's heading east on 54th!
Five-four!
Hey!
Look out!
Freeze.
Police.
Look out!
get her in cuffs.
Are you kidding me?!
I t o ght he 7a 4r I g t/I,l m%.@#$ N/, t a4 7h 2 I didn't know he was a real cop,I swear.
So this is some sort of,uh.
water gun.
assassination game?
It's called water gun wars.
Chief of police and the mayor briefed us about this.
You know,you c uld've been killed running a2ound waving this thing.
I know,I know.
Bloomberg's on a rampage to shut us down.
How many people in this game?
Maybe a hun red.
Weh/u,d be do n to the last few.
Do all the players know each other?
Why are you asking me about this?
The man who was killed at your grandfather's grave, k le an,he wa n t e g m%,h% a our p)c4u2e.
S/ e w s t e2et ssass)n t% smeo e m r ere hi b%for% that c/uld happen.
Wha are you saying?
You think I would.
what do you t if you win,jennifer?
A hundr d thousan do,l r .
But I never met that guy before.
I had no idea he was even in the game until you told me.
Tell me about the rules.
E e2y/n ge4s the)r f)r t t e4 from the supreme commander supreme commander?
The guy who created the game.
Is he the guy who pays out the hundred grand if you win?
Yeah,apparently,he's some eccentric mil I/naire.
It only costs 50 bucks to sign up.
Know where i can find this guy?
I got a flyer in the mail describing the game.
I called an 800 num e2 and left my information on some answering mac d/ o t)l, a the flyer?
No,I threw it out.
The supreme commander contacts you anonymously and tells yoto pick up y/u2 first dossier at an abandoned wareh/u e when I go4 4h%r%, there was an envelope with a picture of another player and her home and work address.
How do you advance?
You can e t e2 us a water gun or a water balloon.
If you hit your target, then you inherit the other person's target.
So,these are the.
******killed,so to speak?
Yeah.
Except him.
He's my next target.
I'm trying to figure out a ruse to get him.
A ruse?
Creativity when making a kill is encouraged.
Like,uh.
like when I killed that guy.
How do I get a list of everyone else in the game?
I don't know.
Nobody knows the supreme commander.
Congratulations,jennifer,you're in the game .
He contacts you,not the other way a2ound.
That guy.
the one who got killed.
he was stalking me at the cemetery?
Question is.
who was stalking him?
A o t t e s m% I e and s ape of what was inside the vic's mouth.
Melanin.
Octopus ink matches the stains we found.
Death by cistopus indicus.
Our vic died.
trying to eat a live octopus.
Yeah,but when we found kathleen dunley,her hands were tied.
Means this was in cold blood.
Killer fed it to her and watched her die.
Water gun wars.
Well,that explains the balloons at the crime scene.
And in the victim's fake office.
So he booby-trappedhis apartme t to keep other players out,not william tucker.
But why go through all the trouble of renting an office and pretending to be a wedding planner or a casting director?
Jennifer cooper said creativity is encouraged.
She killed this girl by bribing a ca r)v%r ( screams ) the victim lured his targets to the office and took them out of the game.
That's pretty clever.
Sounds like fun,actually.
Yeah,except someone in this game is killing people for real-- and they might kill again.
Looks like our suspects are active players.
No,the pictures without the x's are the people who are still alive.
If we're gonna catch this guy, we got to play the game.
Become assassins; we track down the active players until we find one holding kyle vance's picture.
Whoever has it.
that's our killer.
All right.
Who's our first target?
This guy.
you like playing games with guns?
They're okay.
You don't get the same rush as when you fir a real gun,tho g .
O2 l n u .
Am I **?
I w/u,d '4 n/W.
M)n )f I t k%a l/o )n y/u2 a ?
A#t a ly,y%a,I do.
They say video games rot your brain,but.
I managed to hold onto the part that remembers my rights.
Okay.
I'll tell you what-- I know who's after you.
That's how I got your picture.
You let me peek at your targets, I give up her identity.
Deal?
Deal.
What?
I held up my end of the bargain.
Give her up.
Deal's off.
Like watching paint dry.
Prints and dna don't match het .
He had the motive, but we don't have anything t/ u4 I )n I e t a4 2o/m w)t a4h, #' a)r turned out to be pang go g used for tempura,not baking.
So good-bye,michel hetu.
hello,mystery date.
Maka.
Hawkes.
Yeah.
Okay.
We'll be right there.
Our mystery date is no longer a mystery.
Yes,I was kathleen's escort last night.
Yeah,well,we're interested in what happened after dinner,Mr.Bosch.
I dropped kathleen off at her apartment.
I suggested we have a drink.
I was hoping to apologize for our argument.
Instead she asked me to leave.
Now,what can I get you?
Truman,I'm,uh,I'm done for the nigh .
Kathleen.
I'll call you tomorrow.
I obeyed the woman's wishes,and left.
How was the octopus?
It was a bit tricky going down, but it was quite delightful,actually.
you don't really think I had something to do with this murder?
Mr.Bosch.you w%r% seen fighting with your client.
Her hands were bound using your bow tie.
We're gonna need something that tells us you didn't do it.
Money.
Kathleen dunley made me a v%r 2i#h m n - w y w/u,I k)l,y g/l e o/s%?
Why were you fighting with her?
K t l%en dunley enjoyed her menlike she enjoyed her money.
Last night she had her sights set on one of the chefs,tony collins.
She was fraternizing with the mark,huh?
A d y/u s w y/u2 ttorney's fees going out the window.
Something like that.
What the hell are you doing?
Tru,let go of me.
I don't have to remind you how this works.
If we're going to s e,you cannot get up cle and personal.
$13 m)l,I/n in 23 states.
I think that makes me the unlikeliest suspect.
Know what I think?
I think that kathleen had a thing f/r t e c e&,a d s e w s g/a bac u o& this huge payday of yours,nd you d d I .
Y/u'r% fish)n,g n4leme as much as I've enjoyed talking to you two, we're done.Now, unless you have something substantial to hold me on, I have an appointment to keep.
No.
so you're telling me my target's dead-- for real dead.
That's what I'm telling you.
Damn.
A d y/u w r his assassin.
So I killed him.
f r real illed led him.
Are you crazy?
I n ver d the g Y.
pro a ly because it never occurred to me to go look in the morgue.
You familiar with blank guns,Mr.Stokes?
Y/re look)n at me or this.
You're serious.
For real serious.
You were the one hunting him down.
What happened?
You get in a fight over who hit who first?
100,000 buys you a lot of video games.
That's funny.
I'm done.
I'm not saying another word without a lawyer.
Fine.
I don't need a word.
I need your DNA.
But aren't those,uh.
your afternoon snack.
Still doesn't explain how these nasty treats got in our victim's ear when they weren't even on the menu last night,though.
That's right.
What do you got?
Promise me one thing: If this is your guy,we share the collar.
All for one,one for all.
That's what I wanted to hear.
Gentlemen,add larry whitford to your list of suspects.
Who is he?
Actually,you've already met him.
You see,five years ago larry whitford legally changed his name to tony collins.
The exotic cuisine chef?
All right,so how's he figure in?
I did the follow-up on the lawsuits.
Turns out that one of the restaurants our vic put out of business five years ago was run by our said bad boy.
Kathle dunley's attorney sued the place he worked at for what she claimed to be a near fatal meal.
The restaurant went under because of it.
Know what that sounds like to me?
A recipe for murder.
I don't get it.
We've rounded up every active player in the game.
Dna on the balloon didn't match jordan stokes.
All right.
What do w% know?
We know that the victim was killed with a blank gun.
And that he lured his targets to his fake office.
Right,where he pretended to be a travel agent,a wedding planner and A.
a casting director.
Exactly.
That's the way the office was last set up-- like somebody was auditioning.
Blanks.
an audition.
and A.
Head shot.
Our shooter has a flair for the dramatic.
He's an actor.
Let's find this guy.
It was payback.Wasn't it?
Five years ago,you were riding high in san francisco, until kathleen dunley walks into your restaurant and sued.
Then last night,you saw her at the dinner and decided it wasn't going to happen again.
Lucky for you,the two of you never met.
Your case in san francisco was settled out of court.
But you recognized her picte f o the newspaper that reported the lawsuit,right?
You remember her?
She look familia but she didn't know who you were when you approached her and poured on the charm last night.
All she thought was that you were the star of the evening.
The lawyer tried to break it up, so you two deci ed to rendezvous later at her place.
You show up with a littleidnight snack.
But not before you two got hot in the sheets.
Work up an appetite.
I brought you something.
You hungry?
I willE.
And when you were done, you tied her up a d fed her.
food disagree with you?
Sorry.You're not going t be able to sue me this time.
Kathleen dunley was a criminal.
What does that make you?
After san francisco,my career was over.
My wife left me.
I spent five years rebuilding my reputation.
She was going to destroy that.
So you decided to destroy her life instead.
I got good news,tony.
You're still going to get to cook.
I'm sure you can do creative things with the spam.
Except I'd keep the bugs off the plate.
Cause the cons,they don't like when you mess with their food.
You got him?
Yeah.
Come on.
Turn around.Give me your hands.
okay.
And live on the fat of the land.
It's over there.
Keep looking,lenny.Just keep looking.
I'm looking,george.
I'm looking.
It's gonna be real nice.
Ain't gonna be no trouble, no fights,nobody gonna hurt nobody,steal from 'em.
It's gonna be nice.
You're gonna get this one,daddy.
I know it.
And you know why?
Cause I have such a great coach.
She just might beat us both out for the part.
Mack taylor.
Chris matthews.
So you're reading for the role of george,huh?
Final scene.
Come prepared.
Looks real.
Yeah.
You know,authenticity.Every little bit helps.
Mind if I check it out?
B,a k g N.

What role are you trying out for?

O u2e y/u g/t t e r)t a d)t)o ?
I mean,there's no cop in of mice and men.
I'm working on a different version.
O e tha st r4s w t n aa f/u d d a n a c%m%t ry.
Killed,oddly enough,with a blank gun.
Let's not make a scene in front of your daughter.
Acting roles ar hd to co e by,aren't they,chris?
All those hours of preparation, running lines with your daughter.
Praying,"if I just get that next one, everything will be okay.
So when kyle vance set up that audition for you, you put your heart and soul into it,didn't you?
Must have killed you when you found out it was fake.
He made me go through the whole thing,the son of a bitch.
And I paid the check,and i walked out,I swear t/ go .
Fantastic.
Really.You have a gift,chris,you all do.
Thank you,sir,that means a lot.
I only have one last question for you.
How do you feel about death?
Excuse me?
Gotcha!
You're dead!
Whoo!
He crossed th I e h #r/s e 4h%, I e I woke up that morning,I kissed my wife.
Kissed my little girl.
My daughter,you know what she said to me?
She said,"it's okay if you don't get it,daddy.
She's telling me it's okay.
I didn't have it in me to tell her it wasn't real.
Kyle vance went to the cemetery looking fojennifer cooper that night.
You followed him,didn't you?
Why don't you tell us what happened,chris?
I just meant to scare him.
I just wanted to see the look in his eyes.
w a4 the hell,man?
what is your problem?
You're out of the game.
Yeah,you're right.
I am.
I only have one question for you.
How do you feel about death?
Oh,what are you going to do?
Are you going to shoot me with a water gun now,too?
No.
I'm going to watch you die,you sick son of a bitch.
I just meant to sca2e h)M.
That's all.I just meant to scare him.

I got mealworm spaghetti, stinkbug pate,that's nice.
cricket croquettes,braised ant brochette.
thai dragonflies.
Who's going first?
You gotta be kidding.
Pass.
Mm-mm.
It's just protein.
Told you she'd do it.

Here you go.
Okay.
Pizza in my office.
You bet mack I wouldn't do it?
Yeah.What was I thinking?
Betting against a country girl.
you know,it's actually not that bad.
Well,try it with some grasshopper chutney.
Hmm.
Mmm.
Mmm-hmm.
Mmm.
Wasp tamale?
Don't mind if I do.
The spaghetti mealworm's the best.

Kyle vance, assistant district attorney in manhattan.
I testified for him in the mcshane homicides.
Kyle vance's briefcase is unzipped.
He prosecuted homicides.
Maybe the shooter was looking for something inside.
piece of yellow rubber.
It's from a balloon.
Okay,I've heard of flowers at a cemetery,but balons?
Some people celebrate life.
Others.
celebrate death.

Spent shell casing.
9 millimeter.
I've heard about these headstones, but up until now,I've never seen one.
000000************************************************* Samuel Cooper What's his relationship with our victim?
Nobody seems to be able to answer the question.
Jennifer Cooper,Samuel Cooper's granddaughter, she says she came to visit her grandfather and found the victim lying here.
She's never seen him before.
As far as she knows, I h r has her grandfather.
Kyl vanc,what are you doing at samuel c/oper's gr v ?
What are we looking at,detective?
Kathleen dunley.
She live alone?
Yeah Moved to the city about three weeks ago.
Super came up to get her to sign some papers and found the front door open.
No bruising.
no defensive wounds.
No signs of struggle,just a little kinky sex.
Super mention anything about a boyfriend?
Girlfriend,maybe?
He didn't know anything about her personal life.
Boyfriend.
Looking forward to seeing you.Michel.
Player's go o gam .
That should narrow down the playing field.
I'll find michel.
Let's see what else lover boy left us.
All right.
Hey,doc.
Hmm.
whatever it is,I4o4 l/od.
But this sure is.
Sharp force trauma.
Possible cod?
D pending on how deep it is.
Only one way to know for sure.
I'll get a bag.
Hold up.Let's fume here first.
Because if the vic and killer were going at it last night, h% woul have been a l ove2 e .
Rig t,an h e t y t/ r%s r e t e pri t is before we move the body.
Okay,well-defined prints like this means kathleen dunley's killer had something on his hands.
Your victim suffered a gunshot wound to the chest.
I'm guessing the bullet struck the xiphoid process, which perforated the aorta.
You're guessing?
Well,normally I'd be able to tell you for certain, but normally when you get shot,there's a bullet.
We don't even have a bullet fragment.
CT scan didn't pick up anything.
We don't have an exit wound.
I did find a shell casing at the crime scene, but what happened to the bullet?
Stellate tearing on the entry wound makes it difficult to determine, but it's possible your shooter retrieved it.
His lucky bullet,maybe?
Mm.
We have a missing bullet.
Found trace amounts of a burned paper substance here in the wound.
Hmm.
See?
Wh are these guys ever gonna learn?
You never leave a paper trail.
W)l,I m t c e2.
The penal code is his personal to-do list.
Pick a section and he has violated it.
Clearly he wanted something from kyle vance's briefcase.
Call me if you need me,okay?
Thanks,ada kylece had a m/n t%r c s loa .
Every one of his defendants qualifies as a violent persistent felon.
There is one,a guy called.
william tucker?
I hate that you're always one step ahead of me.
Guy's a real piece of work,total thug.
He's got his own wing in rikers.
I must have locked this guy up at least a den times myself.
Does tucker have a case pending?
Vance impaneled a long-term grand jury to investigate pattern robberies on the lower east side.
Subject?
William tucker.
Know where to find him?
Got an idea.
William tucker?
Do I know you?
No,but you knew kyle vance,didn't you?
Hey!
Remember me?
You don't call,you don't write.
I was starting to think you were seeing other deteives,william.
Nah,man.
I'm out of the crime business.
We know you broke into kyle vance's apartment.
Kyle vance.
kyle vance.
No,man.
I don't know him.
Your blood is on his windowsill.
Oh.
That kyle vance.
Mr.Booby-trap,right?
He had glass under the window.
That's pretty good.
You know what else is pretty good?
Your fingerprint on his briefcase found at the murder scene.
Murder scene?
You're kidding me,right?
No,man.
We ain't kidding you.
Listen,I was just doing straight-u reconnaissance,man.
That's it.
What were you looking for?
A witness list?
Whatever it was,you didn't find it in the apartment, so you took him out at the cemetery.
Whoa,whoa,whoa.
Ease up.
Are you telling me the ada on my case is dead?
Must be my lucky day,right?
Think this is a game?
We got you on burglary two, and you're a violent persistent felon.
No more "get out of jail free" cards for you,william.
Look,I don't know nothing about no cemetery, which is obviously where you found this vance guy.
Which means you probably can't put me at the cemetery and now you're pressuring me for a confession.
Which is why your veins are popping out your forehead.
Which means.
we're done here.
We're not done.
until a second life sentence is added to your time.
The burned paper recovered fro 4h% victim s wound was cardboard.
Specifically cardboard wadding, like from a shotgun.
W e n l z d t e gunpowderaround the cardboard, the chemi #omp/s)t on was consistent with ultra-fast burning powder.
O r k)l,e2 7a s o/t) t a4' 7hy 7e d)d '4 &da b llet in the v)c4i .
At close range,the gases from the blank g n%r t d e o ghe4i# %n Maybe we're not looking at an intentional murder.
OKAy,are y uready for this?
Not only was kyle vance an ada, he was also a wedding planner,a travel agent and a casting director.
Kyle vance rented out o e o f c, and then dressed it t/ make it look like three different offices.
When I walked in,it was all set up to be a casting fice.
He had movie posters, video cameras,everyt I g h% 7r%t%n ing t be someonehe a n'T.
But why?
There was also another popped balloon.
And I fou d t e E.
D/ you know a y of those pe/ple?
W kn w her.
Your vic had a full stomach at time of death, which means she died within two hours of eating her last meal.
Sent the contents up to be analyzed.
I also found trace on the back of the deceased's head.
Mostly in her hair.
What is it?
Not my department.
We'd love to know when you find out.
Sid,what's your official cod?
Asphyxiation.
Something inside your vic's mouth blocked her airway.
I found this during my visual.
Trauma to her tongue, buccal mucosam and palate.
circular abrasions.
Even weirder is the two dozen eggs I found laid inside her eardrum.
No.
Eggs?
What species?
Oh,right,that's not your department,sid.
So something burrowed into her ear and laid its eggs.
And then took a hike.
Whatever it was, it's gone now.
Maybe it's the same thing that's responsible for the abrasions in her mouth.
We're going to need to incubate these eggs.
If we can find out what laid them, it might just put us on the trail to our killer.
Trace hammerback found on the back of kathleen dunley's head was flour.
I asked adam to break it down further.
Hey,hey,I think i found the guy who sent our vic the flowers.
M)c e,e u he owns le grand boulangerie,that huge bakery on fifth.
W found fl ur tra o our vic.
Any reason this michel would want to murderk thl e unley?
500,000 reasons.
That's the amount she was suing him for.
R vic's name came up on the insurance claim database.
Made her fortune suing people.
Her targs were mainly restaurants with deep pockets.
She's been around and made a lot of money.
Slip and fall in boston, food poisoning in san francisco, emotional distress in detroit.
Now new york.
Her attorney contacted michel two weeks ago.
Claimed that his client got sick eating the cake she ordered.
So,she threatens to sue him-- he sends her flowers.
That doesn't add up.
Looks like we're gonna have to have a sit-down with this michel.
I was trying to sleep with her.
Did the flowers work?
She was suing me.
I just thought I could convince her otherwise.
Where were you last night?
I don't rember.
You don't remember?
It's been a rough couple weeks.
When's the last time you saw kathleen dunley?
A week ago at a deposition.
My lawyer told me to keep a distance.
Yet you sent her flowers.
I was hoping she would contact me.
You've been drinking?
Some.
So kathleen dunley was going to ruin your career close your shop, cripple you financially.
So did you kill her?
This room make you nervous,michel?
Yeah.
Concrete,bad lighting,cold steel table.
You got to walk through all these uniformed officers just to get in this room.
It's all there for a reason.
Chinese all it feng shui,right?
To me,it just helps me determine whether you're full of crap.
So what is it?
I didn't kill her.
Well,then you won't mind helping us prove that.
you handing out cigars,papa?
Not yet.
The eggs are still incubating.
Any trace of our baker on that bow tie?
The only thing I know is o r k)lle2 hada 17- n -a- alf-I c e K.
H tu looked smaller.
Yeah.
It doesn't help put him at the vic's apartment.
What do you got?
S4o a#h c/n4 safe to say our vic wasn' on the zone.
Water bugs,d c &e4u, w a,e b c/n .
Exotic cuisine.
You think?
No.Exotic cuisine.
I'm talking about this thing that's going on at the grandview regent this week.
Black tie affair where the super rich get together and they eat crazy stuff.
Saw an ad for it yesterday.
Well,that would explain the bow tie, fancy dress by the bed.
What do you think?
You hungry?
Let's go.
All right.
eah,y%a,y%a,s e w s her% a t n)g t y/u s r%?
I was in the ballroom all evening.
O e2s%eing the ev%nt.
Was she with someone?
Yeah.
Some guy.
I only remember because they got in a fight right before dessert.
Jellyfish torte.
Yummy.
Think what you want,detective,but my guests pay $10,000 a plate t eat at these events.
They'2e p%ruvian entiped las4 I h4 7a e o4i# e f/o .

N t really.
Mr.collins,do you remember w at a4hle n d nle 's d t%,o/ked like?
Yeah.
White guy,40's,big-- 200,225,hair club candidate.
I met a lot of people last night.
I'll have someone send ver a guest list.
Thanks.
If you remember anything else.
I can't believe you just ate that.
It's like swallowing a worm in a bottle of tequila.
Check that out.
Look familiar?
The same type of marks we found in our vic's mouth.
Yeah.
But our list of stomach contents didn't include octopus, and there was no tce at the scene.
Killer must have took it with him.
Mr.Collins,did you sveoctopus last night?
Live octopus was our featured appetizer.
Live?
That must be quite difficult to eat.
Not if wrapped properly.
The trick to eating live octopi are in the wrap.
First,you extend the tentacles, then carefully wrap them,making sure everything tied tightly a2o n 4h% st ck.
Wrap it wrong,it'll kill o .
We're going to nee to take these.
Jennifer cooper!
Police!
Look out!
Hey!
stop!
She's heading east on 54th!
Five-four!
Hey!
Look out!
Freeze.
Police.
Look out!
get her in cuffs.
Are you kidding me?!
I t o ght he 7a 4r I g t/I,l m%.@#$ N/, t a4 7h 2 I didn't know he was a real cop,I swear.
So this is some sort of,uh.
water gun.
assassination game?
It's called water gun wars.
Chief of police and the mayor briefed us about this.
You know,you c uld've been killed running a2ound waving this thing.
I know,I know.
Bloomberg's on a rampage to shut us down.
How many people in this game?
Maybe a hun red.
Weh/u,d be do n to the last few.
Do all the players know each other?
Why are you asking me about this?
The man who was killed at your grandfather's grave, k le an,he wa n t e g m%,h% a our p)c4u2e.
S/ e w s t e2et ssass)n t% smeo e m r ere hi b%for% that c/uld happen.
Wha are you saying?
You think I would.
what do you t if you win,jennifer?
A hundr d thousan do,l r .
But I never met that guy before.
I had no idea he was even in the game until you told me.
Tell me about the rules.
E e2y/n ge4s the)r f)r t t e4 from the supreme commander supreme commander?
The guy who created the game.
Is he the guy who pays out the hundred grand if you win?
Yeah,apparently,he's some eccentric mil I/naire.
It only costs 50 bucks to sign up.
Know where i can find this guy?
I got a flyer in the mail describing the game.
I called an 800 num e2 and left my information on some answering mac d/ o t)l, a the flyer?
No,I threw it out.
The supreme commander contacts you anonymously and tells yoto pick up y/u2 first dossier at an abandoned wareh/u e when I go4 4h%r%, there was an envelope with a picture of another player and her home and work address.
How do you advance?
You can e t e2 us a water gun or a water balloon.
If you hit your target, then you inherit the other person's target.
So,these are the.
******killed,so to speak?
Yeah.
Except him.
He's my next target.
I'm trying to figure out a ruse to get him.
A ruse?
Creativity when making a kill is encouraged.
Like,uh.
like when I killed that guy.
How do I get a list of everyone else in the game?
I don't know.
Nobody knows the supreme commander.
Congratulations,jennifer,you're in the game .
He contacts you,not the other way a2ound.
That guy.
the one who got killed.
he was stalking me at the cemetery?
Question is.
who was stalking him?
A o t t e s m% I e and s ape of what was inside the vic's mouth.
Melanin.
Octopus ink matches the stains we found.
Death by cistopus indicus.
Our vic died.
trying to eat a live octopus.
Yeah,but when we found kathleen dunley,her hands were tied.
Means this was in cold blood.
Killer fed it to her and watched her die.
Water gun wars.
Well,that explains the balloons at the crime scene.
And in the victim's fake office.
So he booby-trappedhis apartme t to keep other players out,not william tucker.
But why go through all the trouble of renting an office and pretending to be a wedding planner or a casting director?
Jennifer cooper said creativity is encouraged.
She killed this girl by bribing a ca r)v%r ( screams ) the victim lured his targets to the office and took them out of the game.
That's pretty clever.
Sounds like fun,actually.
Yeah,except someone in this game is killing people for real-- and they might kill again.
Looks like our suspects are active players.
No,the pictures without the x's are the people who are still alive.
If we're gonna catch this guy, we got to play the game.
Become assassins; we track down the active players until we find one holding kyle vance's picture.
Whoever has it.
that's our killer.
All right.
Who's our first target?
This guy.
you like playing games with guns?
They're okay.
You don't get the same rush as when you fir a real gun,tho g .
O2 l n u .
Am I **?
I w/u,d '4 n/W.

They say video games rot your brain,but.
I managed to hold onto the part that remembers my rights.
Okay.
I'll tell you what-- I know who's after you.
That's how I got your picture.
You let me peek at your targets, I give up her identity.
Deal?
Deal.
What?
I held up my end of the bargain.
Give her up.
Deal's off.
Like watching paint dry.
Prints and dna don't match het .
He had the motive, but we don't have anything t/ u4 I )n I e t a4 2o/m w)t a4h, #' a)r turned out to be pang go g used for tempura,not baking.
So good-bye,michel hetu.
hello,mystery date.
Maka.
Hawkes.
Yeah.
Okay.
We'll be right there.
Our mystery date is no longer a mystery.
Yes,I was kathleen's escort last night.
Yeah,well,we're interested in what happened after dinner,Mr.Bosch.
I dropped kathleen off at her apartment.
I suggested we have a drink.
I was hoping to apologize for our argument.
Instead she asked me to leave.
Now,what can I get you?
Truman,I'm,uh,I'm done for the nigh .
Kathleen.
I'll call you tomorrow.
I obeyed the woman's wishes,and left.
How was the octopus?
It was a bit tricky going down, but it was quite delightful,actually.
you don't really think I had something to do with this murder?
Mr.Bosch.you w%r% seen fighting with your client.
Her hands were bound using your bow tie.
We're gonna need something that tells us you didn't do it.
Money.
Kathleen dunley made me a v%r 2i#h m n - w y w/u,I k)l,y g/l e o/s%?
Why were you fighting with her?
K t l%en dunley enjoyed her menlike she enjoyed her money.
Last night she had her sights set on one of the chefs,tony collins.
She was fraternizing with the mark,huh?
A d y/u s w y/u2 ttorney's fees going out the window.
Something like that.
What the hell are you doing?
Tru,let go of me.
I don't have to remind you how this works.
If we're going to s e,you cannot get up cle and personal.
$13 m)l,I/n in 23 states.
I think that makes me the unlikeliest suspect.
Know what I think?
I think that kathleen had a thing f/r t e c e&,a d s e w s g/a bac u o& this huge payday of yours,nd you d d I .
Y/u'r% fish)n,g n4leme as much as I've enjoyed talking to you two, we're done.Now, unless you have something substantial to hold me on, I have an appointment to keep.
No.
so you're telling me my target's dead-- for real dead.
That's what I'm telling you.
Damn.
A d y/u w r his assassin.
So I killed him.
f r real illed led him.
Are you crazy?
I n ver d the g Y.
pro a ly because it never occurred to me to go look in the morgue.
You familiar with blank guns,Mr.Stokes?
Y/re look)n at me or this.
You're serious.
For real serious.
You were the one hunting him down.
What happened?
You get in a fight over who hit who first?
100,000 buys you a lot of video games.
That's funny.
I'm done.
I'm not saying another word without a lawyer.
Fine.
I don't need a word.
I need your DNA.
But aren't those,uh.
your afternoon snack.
Still doesn't explain how these nasty treats got in our victim's ear when they weren't even on the menu last night,though.
That's right.
What do you got?
Promise me one thing: If this is your guy,we share the collar.
All for one,one for all.
That's what I wanted to hear.
Gentlemen,add larry whitford to your list of suspects.
Who is he?
Actually,you've already met him.
You see,five years ago larry whitford legally changed his name to tony collins.
The exotic cuisine chef?
All right,so how's he figure in?
I did the follow-up on the lawsuits.
Turns out that one of the restaurants our vic put out of business five years ago was run by our said bad boy.
Kathle dunley's attorney sued the place he worked at for what she claimed to be a near fatal meal.
The restaurant went under because of it.
Know what that sounds like to me?
A recipe for murder.
I don't get it.
We've rounded up every active player in the game.
Dna on the balloon didn't match jordan stokes.
All right.
What do w% know?
We know that the victim was killed with a blank gun.
And that he lured his targets to his fake office.
Right,where he pretended to be a travel agent,a wedding planner and A.
a casting director.
Exactly.
That's the way the office was last set up-- like somebody was auditioning.
Blanks.
an audition.
and A.
Head shot.
Our shooter has a flair for the dramatic.
He's an actor.
Let's find this guy.
It was payback.Wasn't it?
Five years ago,you were riding high in san francisco, until kathleen dunley walks into your restaurant and sued.
Then last night,you saw her at the dinner and decided it wasn't going to happen again.
Lucky for you,the two of you never met.
Your case in san francisco was settled out of court.
But you recognized her picte f o the newspaper that reported the lawsuit,right?
You remember her?
She look familia but she didn't know who you were when you approached her and poured on the charm last night.
All she thought was that you were the star of the evening.
The lawyer tried to break it up, so you two deci ed to rendezvous later at her place.
You show up with a littleidnight snack.
But not before you two got hot in the sheets.
Work up an appetite.
I brought you something.
You hungry?
I willE.
And when you were done, you tied her up a d fed her.
food disagree with you?
Sorry.You're not going t be able to sue me this time.
Kathleen dunley was a criminal.
What does that make you?
After san francisco,my career was over.
My wife left me.
I spent five years rebuilding my reputation.
She was going to destroy that.
So you decided to destroy her life instead.
I got good news,tony.
You're still going to get to cook.
I'm sure you can do creative things with the spam.
Except I'd keep the bugs off the plate.
Cause the cons,they don't like when you mess with their food.
You got him?
Yeah.
Come on.
Turn around.Give me your hands.
okay.
And live on the fat of the land.
It's over there.
Keep looking,lenny.Just keep looking.
I'm looking,george.
I'm looking.
It's gonna be real nice.
Ain't gonna be no trouble, no fights,nobody gonna hurt nobody,steal from 'em.
It's gonna be nice.
You're gonna get this one,daddy.
I know it.
And you know why?
Cause I have such a great coach.
She just might beat us both out for the part.
Mack taylor.
Chris matthews.
So you're reading for the role of george,huh?
Final scene.
Come prepared.
Looks real.
Yeah.
You know,authenticity.Every little bit helps.
Mind if I check it out?
B,a k g N.
D)d a m/vie a c u l%o& e r g/.

What role are you trying out for?

O u2e y/u g/t t e r)t a d)t)o ?
I mean,there's no cop in of mice and men.
I'm working on a different version.
O e tha st r4s w t n aa f/u d d a n a c%m%t ry.
Killed,oddly enough,with a blank gun.
Let's not make a scene in front of your daughter.
Acting roles ar hd to co e by,aren't they,chris?
All those hours of preparation, running lines with your daughter.
Praying,"if I just get that next one, everything will be okay.
So when kyle vance set up that audition for you, you put your heart and soul into it,didn't you?
Must have killed you when you found out it was fake.
He made me go through the whole thing,the son of a bitch.
And I paid the check,and i walked out,I swear t/ go .
Fantastic.
Really.You have a gift,chris,you all do.
Thank you,sir,that means a lot.
I only have one last question for you.
How do you feel about death?
Excuse me?
Gotcha!
You're dead!
Whoo!
He crossed th I e h #r/s e 4h%, I e I woke up that morning,I kissed my wife.
Kissed my little girl.
My daughter,you know what she said to me?
She said,"it's okay if you don't get it,daddy.
She's telling me it's okay.
I didn't have it in me to tell her it wasn't real.
Kyle vance went to the cemetery looking fojennifer cooper that night.
You followed him,didn't you?
Why don't you tell us what happened,chris?
I just meant to scare him.
I just wanted to see the look in his eyes.
w a4 the hell,man?
what is your problem?
You're out of the game.
Yeah,you're right.
I am.
I only have one question for you.
How do you feel about death?
Oh,what are you going to do?
Are you going to shoot me with a water gun now,too?
No.
I'm going to watch you die,you sick son of a bitch.
I just meant to sca2e h)M.
That's all.I just meant to scare him.

I got mealworm spaghetti, stinkbug pate,that's nice.
cricket croquettes,braised ant brochette.
thai dragonflies.
Who's going first?
You gotta be kidding.

Here you go.
Okay.
Pizza in my office.
You bet mack I wouldn't do it?
Yeah.What was I thinking?
Betting against a country girl.

Well,try it with some grasshopper chutney.
Hmm.
Mmm.

Don't mind if I do.
