In story 1, a DB is found on a subway track, without any wallet or keys. There's no evidence of a struggle. Rail electrocutions are foot to foot, here Mac (Gary Sinise) says it's hand to foot. Mac asks why the kid crossed the rail and Stella (Melina Kanakaredes) as always has a reply, "To get to the other side." Mac: "One way or another." Hawkes (Hill Harper) hasn't officially identified him yet and refers to "slick" shins. The DB was covered with a hydrophobic substance and there was presence of anti-mortum bruising. COD was ventricular defibrilation. Underwent "locking on" phenomena which is the result of AC current. The subway runs on DC and has the opposite effect on the muscle tissue. The burns are post mortum.
Danny (Carmine Giovinazzo) admires a painting in a gallery, in story 2. Kylie (Kelly Hu) asks "You like what you see Messer?" Leo Whitfield, ( Sean Vincent Biggins) an art dealer with no priors has been shot. There's no signs of a robbery and Danny replies, "I can see why." Ron Leatham (TJ Thyne) owns the bookstore across the street. Danny notices high velocity blood spatter on another painting near the DB. There's evidence of powder burns so he was shot at close range. GSW was through and through. An insurance document is found at the scene: "This is to certify that 'Inhumanity' ...owned by Charles Downright of 234 reason Street, NY was destroyed by fire on 6 October 1814." A bullet is also found.
In story 3, Aiden (Vanessa Ferlito) looks into a DB found at a construction site, with a smell emanating from his clothes. Bill Lamakkia (Brad Prepon) was filling in at the site. Aiden asks if anyone saw anything. Flack (Eddie Cahill) with his usual reply, "When does anyone ever see anything?"
A note is found in the DB's clothes and olive oil covered his body. Also a finger from a statue is found as well as a digital camera. In the fist story. The DB couldn't let go when he was shocked. The body was found blocks away and twenty houses on the same power grid lost power last night. One house has a statue outside with a missing finger. The owner, Bob Galanis (Ray Abruzzo) doesn't recognize the Vic. Mac says he was dumped in the only neighbourhood that lost power. Stella comments Mac is having "one of those connected moments." The digital camera has photos with a date and a place, Prospect Park. Stella: "We have a where and a when." Mac: "In order to get to a what, we need to start with a who." A man on the camera footage leaves behind a newspaper, with a fingerprint. Funnily enough the newspaper was still there. Randy Ortiz, the Vic (Freddy Bouciegues) was into free running.
In the second story, the bullet is traced to a homicide. The suspect in the case was Paul Gianetti (Jay Acovone) and was related to the Pastelli family. Gianetti tells Danny that Whitefield sold him a fake painting. Whitefield wanted a gun. Danny tells him he's not a rookie. Kylie says the painting is authentic. Danny runs an x-ray, which shows the paint used was lead, which was used back then. Today white paint is titanium based, but lead based can also be based. He then carries out an infra red spectral analysis to see if any new paint was added. There are hairline cracks in the paint which are also in the signature. Danny concludes the document is a fake, but the painting is real.
Hawkes identifies COD in Aiden's Vic as a massive cranial fracture. His skull was shattered with one blow. The smell from his wound is a chemical smell. Hawkes: "Down here we call that a James Brown. It's funky." The chemicals are found in deodorizers and disinfectants, found in a portaloo, aka portapotty.
At Randy's apartment, Stella and Mac find burned CDs and DVDs, with the name, 'Julie G'. (Noa Hegesh) Also expensive olive oil. Which matches the body swab from Randy. Exclusively sold by Galanis, which gives them the connection. Mac: "There's no coincidence in crime." They go back to the house with the broken finger statue. The lock is broken on the bedroom door and olive oil is present on the sheets. There's a handprint on the window and burnt skin on the flagpole outside. Randy was electrocuted there. The pole had crocodile clips on it and some prints on these match Bob Galanis. The others don't match.
In story 2, Danny tests the ink on the documents, iron was used in inks in 1814. It's not the ink that was forged, have to look at the paper. The painting was Carbon 14 tested. Showing the paper is as real as the painting. Reason Street used to be Greenwich Village, named after Thomas Payne's the Age of Reason. Reason street was actually Raison street, which was Barrow Street, named after Thomas Barrow. Danny missed what was staring right at him, that there was a Reason Street and a fire, but not in 1814, but 1776. Became barrow street in 1809. Barrow Street art gallery, so Whitefield was a forger. The painting is real, so the document isn't important. Mac: "So someone else killed your art dealer."
Danny: "I need to find the evidence." Think he said that for Mac's benefit, ha.
Aiden and Flack return to the CS and Flack says: "After you, may be evidence." The toilet was knocked over when Bill was still inside. Prints outside match Brian, who was caught drinking on the job. Flack finds his alibi checks out. Aiden says the chemicals in the toilet flush match the clothes, but not the chemicals in the wound. There's an odd chemical out as it's found in airline toilet disposal. Blue Ice. Any liquid from a plane freezes, when the plane descends, the temperature rises and falls. The site is near La Guardia. Flack, putting it so eloquently, ha, comments "So a crapsical killed this guy." Yeah it was a case of death by potty.
Whitefield's past is clean so Danny has to go back in time. He finds that the first page in a book is blank, so if a page was used from an old book, the earliest he can document it is 1840. Leading to Leatham's bookstore, who wipes his glasses on a handkerchief. Blood spatter is on the cover of a book and the first page is missing. He lent Whitefield his books and he was shot in a struggle. Leatham took the money, stating history can't be reproduced, but adds Danny, "You can die trying."
In the fist story, Bob broke the bedroom lock, so the prints would be his on the cable. His dying was an accident, he was protecting Julie like he's protecting his son, Will (Carter Jenkins) whose fingerprints are on the cable. His wagon gave him away, as it has traces of olive oil. Mac says it was Randy perspiring that killed him. Will asks if you perspire when having sex. He thinks "it was cool," Randy being electrocuted.
The first time three stories were covered in an episode of CSI:NY. None of the killers actually showed any remorse for their actions, Will thought it was cool watching someone die and Leatham claimed he did it for the preservation of history, yet murder is murder, even if you try to say it was an accident, cos covering it up makes it even worse. The painting Danny looks at in the art gallery was actually painted by Carmine and is entitled, 'Sister Tight'.
Aiden gets another chance to work on her own, though her cases this time didn't really prove difficult and was the one which was actually a real accident. In CSI episode, Sex, Lies and Larvae, Catherine proved the painting was fake, but not to such elaborate lengths as Danny proving it was authentic here. In the CSI season 2 episode Caged, the librarian was also concerned about rare books.
