Émission TV: CSI NY - 6x7
Zeta's run like a major company now, gentlemen.
And you know what the great thing is for you guys?
You can't touch them.
I told you to make it quick.
It's not going to end in miami, is it?
No, it's not.
(loud rock music playing) ¶ nobody gonna take my car ¶ ¶ I'm gonna race it to the ground ¶ ¶ nobody gonna beat my car ¶ ¶ it's gonna break the speed of sound ¶ ¶ oh, it's a killing machine ¶ (loud pounding, locks clanking) ¶ it's got everything ¶ ¶ like driving power ¶ ¶ big fat tires and everything ¶ (pounding continues, grows louder) ¶ I love it ¶ (turns up volume) ¶ and I need it, I bleed it...
¶ He's there, isn't he?
Woman: Who he?
What, who are you talking about?
You know what?
I swear to god, you're not coming over here.
I'm coming over whether you like it or not.
Oh, no, you're not.
You are drunk!
¶ nobody gonna have my girl...
¶ That's right, I'm calling the cops right now.
You are drunk and I...
I want to see my daughters.
You can't see your daughters like that!
(locks clanking) Shut up!
(clanking continues) Shut the hell up or I'm gonna come back there, so help me god!
¶ I need her, I seed her ¶ ¶ yeah, she turns me on ¶ ¶ all right...
¶ Dean, you know what?
I'm calling the cops right now And they're gonna put your ass in jail.
You hear me?
Dean?
Damn it!
(tires screeching) (tires screeching) Hello?!
Dean!
¶ I'm a highway star...
¶ Dean?
Are you there?
(truck horn blaring) (screams, crash) Flack: The driver of the car's name was dean rovin.
He was 35 years old.
According to the first on scene, he was killed on impact.
M.E.'s just hauled the body out of here.
Looks like he had a few for the road.
This was actually dean's third and last d.U.I.
Bonasera: So this is a traffic accident.
And we're here because...?
Not gonna call you all the way out here for a 10-99.
I got my mac on this morning.
Oh, is that anything like spidey senses?
Way more powerful.
(laughs) Take a look at those skid marks.
(truck horn honks) Looks like the driver of this rig Lost control and jumped the median.
And immediately fled the scene.
I can see doing that if you were driving under the influence.
Sure.
Or if you recently committed murder.
If not for that accident, We may never have found her.
Looks like this is the end of the road for her.
And the beginning for us.
¶ out here in the fields ¶ ¶ I fight for my meals ¶ ¶ I get my back into my living ¶ ¶ yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
¶ Rigor's already on its way out.
So we're looking at a t.O.D.
Between 36 and 48 hours.
What do you make of the skin tone?
Looks blanched, Indicating extreme loss of blood.
But there's no blood at the bottom of the drum.
So if she bled out, she was put in here After she died.
So why go to all that trouble?
I mean, our driver Could have dumped the body anywhere.
Maybe he had a choice spot picked out, But had to get her there first.
Figured he'd hide the body in this shipping drum Until then.
There is a-a weigh station about 30 miles back.
I imagine he didn't want The body discovered during an inspection.
Yeah, that makes sense.
Listen, when you're done here, Let's get her over to sid in situ.
This way, we can minimize any artifactual trauma to the body Or loss of trace evidence.
You got it.
Hey, joe, let's go.
We're gonna take the drum intact To the m.E.'s office.
(camera shutter clicking) What are you thinking?
Besides the fact that you and I have never had a honeymoon, I'm thinking that might be blood.
Monroe: Let's find out.
Looks like our trucker was injured in the accident.
Or maybe his passenger.
Oh, my god.
Yeah.
Well, you can forget about catching a break on this one.
Truck was a commercial lease Out of charlottesville, north carolina.
And the id on the paperwork came back as phony.
So we have no idea who we're chasing.
Mac!
You're gonna want to come see this.
Portable outhouse.
Our truck driver was holding someone in here.
We found a lockbox under the driver's seat.
A few rounds from a .45 were in there but no gun.
We have to assume he took it with him.
What else we got?
I found hair In the sleeper and in the cab.
Judging from the length, I'd say the donor's female.
So our victim could have been in here Before she was killed and then put in the drum.
Unless we're looking at a second female donor.
Whoever it was, they were a prisoner.
We got multiple locks On the outside of the door But nothing to unlock it from the inside.
Also explains the artwork on the walls.
(woman screaming, muffled) You find biologicals?
No, no.
I-I hit it with a light.
No signs of sexual assault.
Door's damaged.
Monroe: Yeah, but it doesn't Look like it was from the crash.
Could have been what caused the accident.
(screaming) (tires screech) But there's no body.
There's no major blood staining.
There's no obvious signs of trauma.
There's nothing to indicate that she didn't survive the crash.
I'd call that lucky.
Not if she's still with the driver.
Turns out, I wasn't the first person to cut into this girl.
You found evidence of sharp force trauma?
That's your c.O.D.
Exsanguination due to surgical transection Of all major blood vessels supplying the liver.
You're saying someone removed her liver?
That's right.
And a microscopic immunohistochemical test Indicated her body released histamine In an immunological response to the injury.
So she was alive when it happened.
Sid: And died as a result of the harvesting.
Based on the precision of the work, I can only conclude That whoever did this had a long-term plan For the organ.
Possibly to sell it on the black market.
There doesn't seem to be anything else missing.
Everything's here but the liver.
What about an I.D.?
Nothing so far.
I sent her prints up to the lab.
Figured they could run a more comprehensive search.
Mac, if you're right, and they're transplanting Her liver into someone else, we don't have much time.
I already had her blood Typed for surface protein markers She's ab positive.
Bonasera: That's an unusual blood type.
Finding a liver donor would be difficult.
Let's get the word out to our ci's Familiar with this type of black market, And every hospital in the area.
I want a list of any patients Capable of receiving an ab positive liver.
If we can I.D.
Who that liver was intended for, We'll be one step closer to catching our suspect.
That's great.
Let me know.
Hey.
Got a hit on afis on those prints I lifted off the steering wheel.
Nice.
Trucker's name is casey steele.
He did a nickel in atlanta on a robbery-assault conviction.
The only trouble is, he's a parole absconder.
No permanent address, so it's gonna be hard to find him.
Maybe not.
That was flack.
We got an eyewitness.
Woman (over p.A.): Dr.
Blair, dr.
Blair...
Yeah, that's him.
Mr.
Winston, you sure that's the guy who carjacked you?
Yeah.
(sighs) I don't know what the hell I was thinking.
I should have just minded my own business and kept on driving.
Hey.
You okay?
Whoa.
Relax, man, look, I don't want any trouble.
It's too late for that.
Flack: Then what happened?
Joseph: He pulled this woman out of his truck, Puts her in the backseat of my car.
Can you describe her?
Dark hair, mid-20's.
(muffled sobbing) (door closes) She was as scared as I was.
Drive.
About ten miles down the road, he tells me to pull over Out in the middle of nowhere and get out of the car.
Then he orders me to give him my cell phone and wallet.
Come on.
I won't tell anyone about this.
I promise.
I know.
(gunshot) If it wasn't for that motorist who happened to drive by seconds later, I'd be dead.
He's an animal.
God help the woman that's with him.
Put an alert out on mr.
Winston's car, Plastic and his cell phone.
Let's hope casey steele tries to use them.
Mac, I think I know who casey steele's prisoner is.
Her name is madeline briggs.
When I ran the prints and the dna I lifted off the jug I found in the sleeper compartment, I got a hit To a missing girl out of miami.
Her mother filed the claim five days ago.
So we have to assume steele picked her up in miami.
Then drove her up to new york, Keeping her locked up as a prisoner.
(muffled shouts) Any results on the urine workup?
Her analysis revealed traces of the sedative propofol.
I'm thinking that's what he used to keep her under control.
(muffled screaming) But the accident tells us That didn't keep her from fighting back.
That's because she's fighting for two.
Madeline's pregnant?
Yeah.
Her urine analysis Also revealed traces of human chorionic gonadotropin.
Hcg.
Boss, we ran the rest of those prints that we lifted From the sleeper cab.
Monroe: Madeline briggs, right?
She was there, too.
What do you mean?
I found evidence Of more than one woman in that sleeper.
How many?
A lot.
(beeping) When I realized I had multiple donors, I ran the prints through every database that I knew of.
I got these in through namus-- National missing and unidentified persons system.
This one's From florida, north carolina, Philadelphia, atlanta.
These girls are from every state.
And all of them at one time or another Were in casey steele's truck.
That's our jane doe.
This one right here?
Yeah.
Debbie menzel.
Savannah, georgia.
Bonasera: Hey, mac.
I've got a dr.
Ray langston holding on a vid call.
He's a csi from vegas.
He's working a case in conjunction with miami pd.
Says that he picked up One of our entries and has some information On madeline briggs.
(whimpering) I understand you have our missing girl in your city?
If we do, it might not be for long.
The man who abducted her, casey steele, Stole a car after his truck was sidelined in a traffic accident.
We have alerts out and roadblocks set up, But so far we haven't found the car.
Well, that's good-- he might still be in new york.
What can you tell us about madeline briggs?
Lieutenant horatio caine and I Just wrapped up two murders here in the miami area.
During the investigation, a young woman named madeline briggs Came across our radar, first as a suspect; Now we have reason to believe she's a victim.
We found this note in a truck stop restroom In orlando.
The last person seen with madeline briggs Is a small-time hustler named goodman, tyler goodman.
Where is he now?
In a morgue in northern florida.
48 hours ago, tyler was found shot to death In the bathroom of a truck stop near jacksonville.
Kill was clean; it was a pro job.
So tyler hands off madeline to casey And then gets paid with a bullet.
You have ballistics on that shooting?
We do-- weapon's a .45.
I'm sending you our ballistics evidence right now-- see if it matches up.
We have a witness, A gunshot victim casey pulled the trigger on.
The slug was too deformed to get caliber determination, But we have reason to believe that it might be a .45.
Bonasera: Yep, it's a match.
Looks like casey's been a busy boy.
The zetas run a tight ship, and they do not tolerate mistakes.
Bad news for a small-time player like tyler.
It means he was expendable.
What else do we know about these perps?
Targets are always young women between the ages of 19 and 25.
They're highly organized, they're well financed.
They lure these women into...
Prostitution, black-market surrogacy, Use them as human-trafficking pawns, you name it.
And now harvesting bodies for organs.
Makes them extremely dangerous.
Detective taylor, I have chased one victim from vegas to miami, Only to find her dead.
When madeline briggs's mother reported her missing, She asked for my help, so I'm not going home Until I find her daughter.
And when can I expect you?
I'm on the first thing smokin'.
Detective taylor.
Welcome to new york.
Thanks.
Federal marshals are escorting an inmate In a transfer from bedford maximum facility to bayview.
We made a deal in exchange for information.
We're meeting them in half an hour.
Any connection to casey steele?
Not directly.
Our informant is a cell mate of a suspect We convicted six months ago in connection With a human trafficking ring here in new york city.
A little cell mate chitchat, And a convict looking to make a deal-- that's hard to trust.
True, but right now, we're standing here with nothing.
And I kind of got the impression you weren't here to sight-see.
Woman: "human cargo"-- that's how carolyn described it.
Young women get moved from one state to another, Truck stop to truck stop.
Different drivers, different destinations.
A 24/7 operation, mostly traveling at night.
Pretty impressive enterprise, If you ask me.
I always thought an 18-wheeler Advertising fresh produce was really carrying vegetables.
Taylor: How many do they transport?
One, two, more?
Doesn't matter.
These guys make more money transporting one girl Than they do hauling apples Across the interstate in a year.
Carolyn mention any names?
Like the zetas out of miami?
Come on, you're talking about a network With dozens of truckers.
Was casey steele one of them?
Maybe.
Look, I wasn't taking notes.
All right, what about the girls?
What happens to them?
Everything.
Sex slaves, Surrogates, organ donors-- and if they survive The surgery, it starts all over.
And it's the truck driver's job to keep the payload-- The girls-- Alive and healthy.
They don't get paid if the cargo arrives dead.
The more use you get out of one girl, the more money you make.
That means madeline could still be alive.
Unless she's trouble.
That's when they become body parts, Scattered from coast to coast.
Excuse me.
(indistinct radio transmission) A lot of world war ii heroes with their names on these walls.
Too many.
My father fought in the korean war.
I understand you wore some stripes yourself.
I just wanted to be like my father.
Mac, I've seen what they do to these young women, And it's...
Body parts strewn by the highway, Left like food for wild animals.
Now, you said madeline put up a fight.
You said there was evidence of that in the truck.
That doesn't mean she's not alive, ray.
She's pregnant.
The child she's carrying is worth a lot to these guys.
My bet, casey's gonna make sure she makes it to her destination.
Are you going to use that phone?
I have to make a very difficult phone call To madeline briggs' mother.
Who's probably pacing up and down And checking voice messages, Wondering what the hell I've discovered, If I've found her daughter.
A case when no news is good news is no consolation.
You have kids?
No.
Me neither.
I suppose we both spared ourselves The stress of this nightmare.
I don't know you well, ray, But you don't look so stress-free to me.
It never gets easier, does it?
No.
I've told parents about Their dead or missing kids more times than I can count.
Hell, the first time, was one time too many.
One day, a woman whispers "thank you" to me through her tears.
And I realized that she just needed to know That there was somebody doing everything they could for her child.
And that's what you're doing, ray.
And that's worth a phone call.
Let's go get this guy, mac.
I ran an organ recipient search with the national donor list.
A patient awaiting a liver, blood type ab positive, Withdrew from the list yesterday.
He could have died, waiting.
Thought of that.
He's still alive.
And liver disease isn't something that just goes away.
So you're thinking he's forgoing the national donor process And getting an organ off the black market?
Possibly the liver from our victim In the back of the truck.
Hawkes: A manhattan clinic requested 50 pints Of ab positive blood for prep of a liver transplant.
That blood was delivered this morning.
You don't have authorization to go in there.
This ought to do it.
Dr.
Fuller is about to begin surgery.
Dr.
Fuller.
I got a couple questions to ask you.
Detective, I imagine you're here about a liver.
It's there in that cooler.
But there's also a man in there waiting for it.
So you can arrest me now and he'll die.
Or you can let me go in there and save his life.
I'll be waiting for you.
fuller: I make a phone call.
Flack: Every time to the same number?
Yes.
Again.
Same number every time.
I tell them what I need.
I don't know how or who does it.
A cooler is left for me at the clinic.
Is this the man that delivers the coolers?
I told you, I don't see faces.
They're just voices on a phone.
You must pay them?
Cash.
In an envelope.
A different post office box every time.
Okay so what's the going rate for a liver, dr.
Fuller?
Depends.
Hawkes: Depends on whether Your patients are desperate or not?
The closer they are to death the more they'll pay, Or is it the more you'll charge?
I don't set the price.
No, only for yourself, right?
So tell me, doctor, How much do you get paid for turning a blind eye To the hippocratic oath?
No, look at me.
I said, look at me.
The liver you transplanted today Belonged to a healthy young woman Who died to fill your pockets.
Her name-- debbie menzel.
And there are dozens more just like her.
Their organs are being harvested In motel bathrooms And makeshift operating rooms.
Young girls who are butchered And dumped on the side of the road.
And you agreed to the oath, doctor, The covenant. "
I will keep them from harm and injustice."
Do you remember saying those words?
You stupid, greedy son of a bitch.
I swear, I've never seen him before.
It's like I told you, I make a phone call...
Yeah, all right.
Okay.
Write that phone number down, Mr.
Fuller.
Finding madeline briggs Hasn't gotten any easier.
Taylor: So we try harder.
The phone number flack got from the doctor Had to give us something.
Yeah, we're identifying all the calls Made to that number over the last month.
Most of them are doctors.
We'll bring 'em in, Show them casey steele's mug, I'll see what I can get out of them.
They're not going to know him.
He's a driver.
Driver's stay on the interstate and keep moving.
It appears that one particular part Of this business doesn't mingle with another.
Protects them from knowing too much-- From being able to identify anyone else In the bigger organization.
Well, we have managed to identify One player-- casey steele.
From everything we know about him, He's not a one-man operation.
If he's as connected as we think He is, somebody's going to help him very soon.
Until then, he has to take care of a pregnant young woman.
Right.
The witness that flack talked to Didn't mention that she was pregnant.
Which means, Madeline could still be in her first trimester With at least six months left in her pregnancy.
Still able to turn a few more tricks Before she begins to show.
Right.
All for the purpose of continuing their cash flow.
For them, it's just a business.
Right now, madeline is a duel revenue stream for them.
Unfortunately, the demand is there.
If it's not forced surrogacy, it's prostitution, Body parts, blood, eggs, Hair, even bone marrow has a price.
A lung or a kidney can sell for $100,000 On the black market.
Boss, I just got a real-time hit On joseph winston's stolen phone.
We were waiting for our suspect to turn it on.
Triangulation traced it To a pharmacy on riverside drive.
And I just tapped into their security cams.
Well, and that's him, That's casey steele.
What's he waiting for?
Lindsay, call the pharmacy.
Tell them to take their times.
Danny, call hawkes and flack.
They're going shopping.
Let's go.
(siren wailing) There's our guy.
You think?
Let's go.
Hey, look out, look out!
(woman screams) Freeze!
(screams) I got him, I got him!
Head around the back.
(metal clanking) Stop!
(groans) Locked!
I lost him!
Well, he couldn't have gotten far.
He's not that fast.
Guys, keep that side of the building covered.
He may be coming toward you.
Yeah, got it.
Are you all right?
Yeah.
see if they see anything around back.
You got it.
Hey, we got every available patrol Looking for this guy, but he knows it now.
According to the pharmacist, casey was waiting on a script For diprivan to be filled.
It's also known as propofol.
It's a sedative.
Now the evidence we collected from casey's truck Indicates that he was injecting madeline with it.
Which confirms what we were thinking-- That madeline's still alive.
(phone ringing) Detective flack.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah?
We're on our way.
A couple of my boys found The car casey stole parked around the corner.
You think she's in there?
Bonasera: The trunk looks open.
Okay.
If casey went to the pharmacy alone, then where's madeline?
Clearly not here.
Let's just hope there's something in this car That'll point us in the right direction.
What'd you find?
Got some fresh soil evidence on the brake pedal.
Maybe we can match it to a reference sample.
Get a location where our driver's been.
¶ ¶ Boom.
I got a match.
Corona?
Bonasera: Huh.
There's nothing in that area but a half a dozen junkyards.
We'll start with corona scrap.
That's where you got your reference sample from.
I'm gonna go call mac.
(siren wailing) (indistinct conversation) Flack: Doc.
Can I offer you a party favor?
I'm gonna have to pass.
It's the price of admission, ray.
Casey steele's a shooter-- I can't risk you going in unarmed.
All right.
Did you know that the, uh, Oldest projectile fired from a weapon Was recorded in the fourth century In japan?
It was fired From a very crude handheld cannon That you lit with a wick.
Its sole purpose was for taking life.
Seems that after 1,700 years of evolution...
We haven't come very far, have we?
Taylor: All right.
Everyone knows the tac plan.
The target Is armed and dangerous.
I want esu All over the playing field on this.
Tight perimeter.
Got air support on the way, But there are too many moving parts.
So we got to move now.
Remember, we have an innocent in the mix.
One female, madeline briggs.
Flack: If this goes bad, she's a hostage.
If it goes worse, she's collateral.
That means everyone stays hot, unless he decides to use her.
Now let's move.
Move, move, move!
Ray.
Langston: She was here.
Hey, freeze!
(gunshot) Flack, man down!
I got him, I got him.
I got you, guy, I got you!
Stay down.
I'm gonna keep pressure on.
Stay down.
Stay with me.
Look at me.
Look at me!
(tires squeal) (engine revving) It's over.
You move, and I'll put a hole in you.
Drop the weapon!
Put the gun down!
Get up.
Where is she?
Where's madeline?
Where is she?
She's gone.
What do you mean, she's gone?
Poof.
¶ ¶ Get him out.
Come on, let's go.
Just relax.
We checked your cell phone, casey.
You made repeated calls To the same mobile number, One right after the accident, the rest In the last 12 hours.
We're gonna track down the person on the other end of that call.
Good luck.
I understand, casey-- you're not afraid.
So listen to me and listen very carefully.
It's still not too late to make a deal.
Oh, is that right?
That's right.
I give you my word I'll do everything in my power To make sure everyone involved in this knows That you cooperated with us.
That kind of advertisement will put me in the morgue.
Who's the new transporter?
Who did you hand her off to?
Where are they taking madeline?
If you two gentlemen Don't have any more questions for me, I think I'd like to go to jail now.
(grunts) (slams file down) Take a look.
Where are they?
You don't seriously expect me to remember them all, Do you?
I said, take another look.
I think that one's in salt lake city.
And denver.
(chuckles quietly) Get him out of here.
I'm so sorry.
I'll call you as soon as I know something.
(sighs) Madeline's mother.
She's convinced her daughter's dead, And there's nothing I can say to offer her...
Any kind of hope.
You're gonna find her, ray.
You're gonna find her.
And you know what the great thing is for you guys?
You can't touch them.
I told you to make it quick.
It's not going to end in miami, is it?
No, it's not.
(loud rock music playing) ¶ nobody gonna take my car ¶ ¶ I'm gonna race it to the ground ¶ ¶ nobody gonna beat my car ¶ ¶ it's gonna break the speed of sound ¶ ¶ oh, it's a killing machine ¶ (loud pounding, locks clanking) ¶ it's got everything ¶ ¶ like driving power ¶ ¶ big fat tires and everything ¶ (pounding continues, grows louder) ¶ I love it ¶ (turns up volume) ¶ and I need it, I bleed it...
¶ He's there, isn't he?
Woman: Who he?
What, who are you talking about?
You know what?
I swear to god, you're not coming over here.
I'm coming over whether you like it or not.
Oh, no, you're not.
You are drunk!
¶ nobody gonna have my girl...
¶ That's right, I'm calling the cops right now.
You are drunk and I...
I want to see my daughters.
You can't see your daughters like that!
(locks clanking) Shut up!
(clanking continues) Shut the hell up or I'm gonna come back there, so help me god!
¶ I need her, I seed her ¶ ¶ yeah, she turns me on ¶ ¶ all right...
¶ Dean, you know what?
I'm calling the cops right now And they're gonna put your ass in jail.
You hear me?
Dean?
Damn it!
(tires screeching) (tires screeching) Hello?!
Dean!
¶ I'm a highway star...
¶ Dean?
Are you there?
(truck horn blaring) (screams, crash) Flack: The driver of the car's name was dean rovin.
He was 35 years old.
According to the first on scene, he was killed on impact.
M.E.'s just hauled the body out of here.
Looks like he had a few for the road.
This was actually dean's third and last d.U.I.
Bonasera: So this is a traffic accident.
And we're here because...?
Not gonna call you all the way out here for a 10-99.
I got my mac on this morning.
Oh, is that anything like spidey senses?
Way more powerful.
(laughs) Take a look at those skid marks.
(truck horn honks) Looks like the driver of this rig Lost control and jumped the median.
And immediately fled the scene.
I can see doing that if you were driving under the influence.
Sure.
Or if you recently committed murder.
If not for that accident, We may never have found her.
Looks like this is the end of the road for her.
And the beginning for us.
¶ out here in the fields ¶ ¶ I fight for my meals ¶ ¶ I get my back into my living ¶ ¶ yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
¶ Rigor's already on its way out.
So we're looking at a t.O.D.
Between 36 and 48 hours.
What do you make of the skin tone?
Looks blanched, Indicating extreme loss of blood.
But there's no blood at the bottom of the drum.
So if she bled out, she was put in here After she died.
So why go to all that trouble?
I mean, our driver Could have dumped the body anywhere.
Maybe he had a choice spot picked out, But had to get her there first.
Figured he'd hide the body in this shipping drum Until then.
There is a-a weigh station about 30 miles back.
I imagine he didn't want The body discovered during an inspection.
Yeah, that makes sense.
Listen, when you're done here, Let's get her over to sid in situ.
This way, we can minimize any artifactual trauma to the body Or loss of trace evidence.
You got it.
Hey, joe, let's go.
We're gonna take the drum intact To the m.E.'s office.
(camera shutter clicking) What are you thinking?
Besides the fact that you and I have never had a honeymoon, I'm thinking that might be blood.
Monroe: Let's find out.
Looks like our trucker was injured in the accident.
Or maybe his passenger.
Oh, my god.
Yeah.
Well, you can forget about catching a break on this one.
Truck was a commercial lease Out of charlottesville, north carolina.
And the id on the paperwork came back as phony.
So we have no idea who we're chasing.
Mac!
You're gonna want to come see this.
Portable outhouse.
Our truck driver was holding someone in here.
We found a lockbox under the driver's seat.
A few rounds from a .45 were in there but no gun.
We have to assume he took it with him.
What else we got?
I found hair In the sleeper and in the cab.
Judging from the length, I'd say the donor's female.
So our victim could have been in here Before she was killed and then put in the drum.
Unless we're looking at a second female donor.
Whoever it was, they were a prisoner.
We got multiple locks On the outside of the door But nothing to unlock it from the inside.
Also explains the artwork on the walls.
(woman screaming, muffled) You find biologicals?
No, no.
I-I hit it with a light.
No signs of sexual assault.
Door's damaged.
Monroe: Yeah, but it doesn't Look like it was from the crash.
Could have been what caused the accident.
(screaming) (tires screech) But there's no body.
There's no major blood staining.
There's no obvious signs of trauma.
There's nothing to indicate that she didn't survive the crash.
I'd call that lucky.
Not if she's still with the driver.
Turns out, I wasn't the first person to cut into this girl.
You found evidence of sharp force trauma?
That's your c.O.D.
Exsanguination due to surgical transection Of all major blood vessels supplying the liver.
You're saying someone removed her liver?
That's right.
And a microscopic immunohistochemical test Indicated her body released histamine In an immunological response to the injury.
So she was alive when it happened.
Sid: And died as a result of the harvesting.
Based on the precision of the work, I can only conclude That whoever did this had a long-term plan For the organ.
Possibly to sell it on the black market.
There doesn't seem to be anything else missing.
Everything's here but the liver.
What about an I.D.?
Nothing so far.
I sent her prints up to the lab.
Figured they could run a more comprehensive search.
Mac, if you're right, and they're transplanting Her liver into someone else, we don't have much time.
I already had her blood Typed for surface protein markers She's ab positive.
Bonasera: That's an unusual blood type.
Finding a liver donor would be difficult.
Let's get the word out to our ci's Familiar with this type of black market, And every hospital in the area.
I want a list of any patients Capable of receiving an ab positive liver.
If we can I.D.
Who that liver was intended for, We'll be one step closer to catching our suspect.
That's great.
Let me know.
Hey.
Got a hit on afis on those prints I lifted off the steering wheel.
Nice.
Trucker's name is casey steele.
He did a nickel in atlanta on a robbery-assault conviction.
The only trouble is, he's a parole absconder.
No permanent address, so it's gonna be hard to find him.
Maybe not.
That was flack.
We got an eyewitness.
Woman (over p.A.): Dr.
Blair, dr.
Blair...
Yeah, that's him.
Mr.
Winston, you sure that's the guy who carjacked you?
Yeah.
(sighs) I don't know what the hell I was thinking.
I should have just minded my own business and kept on driving.
Hey.
You okay?
Whoa.
Relax, man, look, I don't want any trouble.
It's too late for that.
Flack: Then what happened?
Joseph: He pulled this woman out of his truck, Puts her in the backseat of my car.
Can you describe her?
Dark hair, mid-20's.
(muffled sobbing) (door closes) She was as scared as I was.
Drive.
About ten miles down the road, he tells me to pull over Out in the middle of nowhere and get out of the car.
Then he orders me to give him my cell phone and wallet.
Come on.
I won't tell anyone about this.
I promise.
I know.
(gunshot) If it wasn't for that motorist who happened to drive by seconds later, I'd be dead.
He's an animal.
God help the woman that's with him.
Put an alert out on mr.
Winston's car, Plastic and his cell phone.
Let's hope casey steele tries to use them.
Mac, I think I know who casey steele's prisoner is.
Her name is madeline briggs.
When I ran the prints and the dna I lifted off the jug I found in the sleeper compartment, I got a hit To a missing girl out of miami.
Her mother filed the claim five days ago.
So we have to assume steele picked her up in miami.
Then drove her up to new york, Keeping her locked up as a prisoner.
(muffled shouts) Any results on the urine workup?
Her analysis revealed traces of the sedative propofol.
I'm thinking that's what he used to keep her under control.
(muffled screaming) But the accident tells us That didn't keep her from fighting back.
That's because she's fighting for two.
Madeline's pregnant?
Yeah.
Her urine analysis Also revealed traces of human chorionic gonadotropin.
Hcg.
Boss, we ran the rest of those prints that we lifted From the sleeper cab.
Monroe: Madeline briggs, right?
She was there, too.
What do you mean?
I found evidence Of more than one woman in that sleeper.
How many?
A lot.
(beeping) When I realized I had multiple donors, I ran the prints through every database that I knew of.
I got these in through namus-- National missing and unidentified persons system.
This one's From florida, north carolina, Philadelphia, atlanta.
These girls are from every state.
And all of them at one time or another Were in casey steele's truck.
That's our jane doe.
This one right here?
Yeah.
Debbie menzel.
Savannah, georgia.
Bonasera: Hey, mac.
I've got a dr.
Ray langston holding on a vid call.
He's a csi from vegas.
He's working a case in conjunction with miami pd.
Says that he picked up One of our entries and has some information On madeline briggs.
(whimpering) I understand you have our missing girl in your city?
If we do, it might not be for long.
The man who abducted her, casey steele, Stole a car after his truck was sidelined in a traffic accident.
We have alerts out and roadblocks set up, But so far we haven't found the car.
Well, that's good-- he might still be in new york.
What can you tell us about madeline briggs?
Lieutenant horatio caine and I Just wrapped up two murders here in the miami area.
During the investigation, a young woman named madeline briggs Came across our radar, first as a suspect; Now we have reason to believe she's a victim.
We found this note in a truck stop restroom In orlando.
The last person seen with madeline briggs Is a small-time hustler named goodman, tyler goodman.
Where is he now?
In a morgue in northern florida.
48 hours ago, tyler was found shot to death In the bathroom of a truck stop near jacksonville.
Kill was clean; it was a pro job.
So tyler hands off madeline to casey And then gets paid with a bullet.
You have ballistics on that shooting?
We do-- weapon's a .45.
I'm sending you our ballistics evidence right now-- see if it matches up.
We have a witness, A gunshot victim casey pulled the trigger on.
The slug was too deformed to get caliber determination, But we have reason to believe that it might be a .45.
Bonasera: Yep, it's a match.
Looks like casey's been a busy boy.
The zetas run a tight ship, and they do not tolerate mistakes.
Bad news for a small-time player like tyler.
It means he was expendable.
What else do we know about these perps?
Targets are always young women between the ages of 19 and 25.
They're highly organized, they're well financed.
They lure these women into...
Prostitution, black-market surrogacy, Use them as human-trafficking pawns, you name it.
And now harvesting bodies for organs.
Makes them extremely dangerous.
Detective taylor, I have chased one victim from vegas to miami, Only to find her dead.
When madeline briggs's mother reported her missing, She asked for my help, so I'm not going home Until I find her daughter.
And when can I expect you?
I'm on the first thing smokin'.
Detective taylor.
Welcome to new york.
Thanks.
Federal marshals are escorting an inmate In a transfer from bedford maximum facility to bayview.
We made a deal in exchange for information.
We're meeting them in half an hour.
Any connection to casey steele?
Not directly.
Our informant is a cell mate of a suspect We convicted six months ago in connection With a human trafficking ring here in new york city.
A little cell mate chitchat, And a convict looking to make a deal-- that's hard to trust.
True, but right now, we're standing here with nothing.
And I kind of got the impression you weren't here to sight-see.
Woman: "human cargo"-- that's how carolyn described it.
Young women get moved from one state to another, Truck stop to truck stop.
Different drivers, different destinations.
A 24/7 operation, mostly traveling at night.
Pretty impressive enterprise, If you ask me.
I always thought an 18-wheeler Advertising fresh produce was really carrying vegetables.
Taylor: How many do they transport?
One, two, more?
Doesn't matter.
These guys make more money transporting one girl Than they do hauling apples Across the interstate in a year.
Carolyn mention any names?
Like the zetas out of miami?
Come on, you're talking about a network With dozens of truckers.
Was casey steele one of them?
Maybe.
Look, I wasn't taking notes.
All right, what about the girls?
What happens to them?
Everything.
Sex slaves, Surrogates, organ donors-- and if they survive The surgery, it starts all over.
And it's the truck driver's job to keep the payload-- The girls-- Alive and healthy.
They don't get paid if the cargo arrives dead.
The more use you get out of one girl, the more money you make.
That means madeline could still be alive.
Unless she's trouble.
That's when they become body parts, Scattered from coast to coast.
Excuse me.
(indistinct radio transmission) A lot of world war ii heroes with their names on these walls.
Too many.
My father fought in the korean war.
I understand you wore some stripes yourself.
I just wanted to be like my father.
Mac, I've seen what they do to these young women, And it's...
Body parts strewn by the highway, Left like food for wild animals.
Now, you said madeline put up a fight.
You said there was evidence of that in the truck.
That doesn't mean she's not alive, ray.
She's pregnant.
The child she's carrying is worth a lot to these guys.
My bet, casey's gonna make sure she makes it to her destination.
Are you going to use that phone?
I have to make a very difficult phone call To madeline briggs' mother.
Who's probably pacing up and down And checking voice messages, Wondering what the hell I've discovered, If I've found her daughter.
A case when no news is good news is no consolation.
You have kids?
No.
Me neither.
I suppose we both spared ourselves The stress of this nightmare.
I don't know you well, ray, But you don't look so stress-free to me.
It never gets easier, does it?
No.
I've told parents about Their dead or missing kids more times than I can count.
Hell, the first time, was one time too many.
One day, a woman whispers "thank you" to me through her tears.
And I realized that she just needed to know That there was somebody doing everything they could for her child.
And that's what you're doing, ray.
And that's worth a phone call.
Let's go get this guy, mac.
I ran an organ recipient search with the national donor list.
A patient awaiting a liver, blood type ab positive, Withdrew from the list yesterday.
He could have died, waiting.
Thought of that.
He's still alive.
And liver disease isn't something that just goes away.
So you're thinking he's forgoing the national donor process And getting an organ off the black market?
Possibly the liver from our victim In the back of the truck.
Hawkes: A manhattan clinic requested 50 pints Of ab positive blood for prep of a liver transplant.
That blood was delivered this morning.
You don't have authorization to go in there.
This ought to do it.
Dr.
Fuller is about to begin surgery.
Dr.
Fuller.
I got a couple questions to ask you.
Detective, I imagine you're here about a liver.
It's there in that cooler.
But there's also a man in there waiting for it.
So you can arrest me now and he'll die.
Or you can let me go in there and save his life.
I'll be waiting for you.
fuller: I make a phone call.
Flack: Every time to the same number?
Yes.
Again.
Same number every time.
I tell them what I need.
I don't know how or who does it.
A cooler is left for me at the clinic.
Is this the man that delivers the coolers?
I told you, I don't see faces.
They're just voices on a phone.
You must pay them?
Cash.
In an envelope.
A different post office box every time.
Okay so what's the going rate for a liver, dr.
Fuller?
Depends.
Hawkes: Depends on whether Your patients are desperate or not?
The closer they are to death the more they'll pay, Or is it the more you'll charge?
I don't set the price.
No, only for yourself, right?
So tell me, doctor, How much do you get paid for turning a blind eye To the hippocratic oath?
No, look at me.
I said, look at me.
The liver you transplanted today Belonged to a healthy young woman Who died to fill your pockets.
Her name-- debbie menzel.
And there are dozens more just like her.
Their organs are being harvested In motel bathrooms And makeshift operating rooms.
Young girls who are butchered And dumped on the side of the road.
And you agreed to the oath, doctor, The covenant. "
I will keep them from harm and injustice."
Do you remember saying those words?
You stupid, greedy son of a bitch.
I swear, I've never seen him before.
It's like I told you, I make a phone call...
Yeah, all right.
Okay.
Write that phone number down, Mr.
Fuller.
Finding madeline briggs Hasn't gotten any easier.
Taylor: So we try harder.
The phone number flack got from the doctor Had to give us something.
Yeah, we're identifying all the calls Made to that number over the last month.
Most of them are doctors.
We'll bring 'em in, Show them casey steele's mug, I'll see what I can get out of them.
They're not going to know him.
He's a driver.
Driver's stay on the interstate and keep moving.
It appears that one particular part Of this business doesn't mingle with another.
Protects them from knowing too much-- From being able to identify anyone else In the bigger organization.
Well, we have managed to identify One player-- casey steele.
From everything we know about him, He's not a one-man operation.
If he's as connected as we think He is, somebody's going to help him very soon.
Until then, he has to take care of a pregnant young woman.
Right.
The witness that flack talked to Didn't mention that she was pregnant.
Which means, Madeline could still be in her first trimester With at least six months left in her pregnancy.
Still able to turn a few more tricks Before she begins to show.
Right.
All for the purpose of continuing their cash flow.
For them, it's just a business.
Right now, madeline is a duel revenue stream for them.
Unfortunately, the demand is there.
If it's not forced surrogacy, it's prostitution, Body parts, blood, eggs, Hair, even bone marrow has a price.
A lung or a kidney can sell for $100,000 On the black market.
Boss, I just got a real-time hit On joseph winston's stolen phone.
We were waiting for our suspect to turn it on.
Triangulation traced it To a pharmacy on riverside drive.
And I just tapped into their security cams.
Well, and that's him, That's casey steele.
What's he waiting for?
Lindsay, call the pharmacy.
Tell them to take their times.
Danny, call hawkes and flack.
They're going shopping.
Let's go.
(siren wailing) There's our guy.
You think?
Let's go.
Hey, look out, look out!
(woman screams) Freeze!
(screams) I got him, I got him!
Head around the back.
(metal clanking) Stop!
(groans) Locked!
I lost him!
Well, he couldn't have gotten far.
He's not that fast.
Guys, keep that side of the building covered.
He may be coming toward you.
Yeah, got it.
Are you all right?
Yeah.
see if they see anything around back.
You got it.
Hey, we got every available patrol Looking for this guy, but he knows it now.
According to the pharmacist, casey was waiting on a script For diprivan to be filled.
It's also known as propofol.
It's a sedative.
Now the evidence we collected from casey's truck Indicates that he was injecting madeline with it.
Which confirms what we were thinking-- That madeline's still alive.
(phone ringing) Detective flack.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah?
We're on our way.
A couple of my boys found The car casey stole parked around the corner.
You think she's in there?
Bonasera: The trunk looks open.
Okay.
If casey went to the pharmacy alone, then where's madeline?
Clearly not here.
Let's just hope there's something in this car That'll point us in the right direction.
What'd you find?
Got some fresh soil evidence on the brake pedal.
Maybe we can match it to a reference sample.
Get a location where our driver's been.
¶ ¶ Boom.
I got a match.
Corona?
Bonasera: Huh.
There's nothing in that area but a half a dozen junkyards.
We'll start with corona scrap.
That's where you got your reference sample from.
I'm gonna go call mac.
(siren wailing) (indistinct conversation) Flack: Doc.
Can I offer you a party favor?
I'm gonna have to pass.
It's the price of admission, ray.
Casey steele's a shooter-- I can't risk you going in unarmed.
All right.
Did you know that the, uh, Oldest projectile fired from a weapon Was recorded in the fourth century In japan?
It was fired From a very crude handheld cannon That you lit with a wick.
Its sole purpose was for taking life.
Seems that after 1,700 years of evolution...
We haven't come very far, have we?
Taylor: All right.
Everyone knows the tac plan.
The target Is armed and dangerous.
I want esu All over the playing field on this.
Tight perimeter.
Got air support on the way, But there are too many moving parts.
So we got to move now.
Remember, we have an innocent in the mix.
One female, madeline briggs.
Flack: If this goes bad, she's a hostage.
If it goes worse, she's collateral.
That means everyone stays hot, unless he decides to use her.
Now let's move.
Move, move, move!
Ray.
Langston: She was here.
Hey, freeze!
(gunshot) Flack, man down!
I got him, I got him.
I got you, guy, I got you!
Stay down.
I'm gonna keep pressure on.
Stay down.
Stay with me.
Look at me.
Look at me!
(tires squeal) (engine revving) It's over.
You move, and I'll put a hole in you.
Drop the weapon!
Put the gun down!
Get up.
Where is she?
Where's madeline?
Where is she?
She's gone.
What do you mean, she's gone?
Poof.
¶ ¶ Get him out.
Come on, let's go.
Just relax.
We checked your cell phone, casey.
You made repeated calls To the same mobile number, One right after the accident, the rest In the last 12 hours.
We're gonna track down the person on the other end of that call.
Good luck.
I understand, casey-- you're not afraid.
So listen to me and listen very carefully.
It's still not too late to make a deal.
Oh, is that right?
That's right.
I give you my word I'll do everything in my power To make sure everyone involved in this knows That you cooperated with us.
That kind of advertisement will put me in the morgue.
Who's the new transporter?
Who did you hand her off to?
Where are they taking madeline?
If you two gentlemen Don't have any more questions for me, I think I'd like to go to jail now.
(grunts) (slams file down) Take a look.
Where are they?
You don't seriously expect me to remember them all, Do you?
I said, take another look.
I think that one's in salt lake city.
And denver.
(chuckles quietly) Get him out of here.
I'm so sorry.
I'll call you as soon as I know something.
(sighs) Madeline's mother.
She's convinced her daughter's dead, And there's nothing I can say to offer her...
Any kind of hope.
You're gonna find her, ray.
You're gonna find her.
