Adam (AJ Buckley) checks the security footage and finds three black men as were described by witnesses but nobody can place Anthony (Kris Lemche) at the CS. So the CSIs plan an elaborate rouse whereby they use interrogation to break him into confessing and giving up the other suspects. Flack brings him into the station where the others are watching a news report which says the policeman is stable. Of course we know that's not true since we were just shown him being killed off at the hospital. As Jo (Sela Ward) and Lindsay (Anna Belknap) waited to process his clothes. Lindsay of course knew him, cos she knows everyone and feels particularly sad. As they speak with his son, Jason (Chris Brochu). He's at the academy and following in his father's footsteps.
Jo and Lindsay process the policeman and Lindsay forgot to take her silver case back with her. No all she did was carry out a cardboard box. Mac loses his cool with Anthony even pushing the chair back and telling him to give him a reason. Clearly Anthony is upset and scared and then Flack is left alone with him. Anthony thinks Flack will play good cop, but Flack doesn't know how to behave. Since Mac's the good cop and he isn't usually. Lovato (Natalie Martinez) watches with Mac from the window and boy was she excess baggage for no reason. Talk about not doing anything! She wasn't even needed in this episode, or any episode.
Flack tells him his boss is looking to pin this on him and Anthony had to be standing right over the policeman but his story doesn't make sense. He finally admits he was standing over him but wasn't part of the shooting and doesn't know the killers. Flack wants him to write it down even though he says he's not good at spelling, Flack adds he isn't either. He's pissed Anthony didn't tell him this sooner and they wasted time.
Anthony: "Spelling's pretty bad, right?" He's worried about spelling at a time like this.
Flack: " It's terrible. There's no such word as 'runned.' It's ran."
Danny (Carmine Giovinazzo) and Jo process the evidence from the CS as Danny retrieved the bullet and Danny bets Jo lunch his results will show up sooner, she bets him dinner and her computer pings. She finds latex and silicone from under Mark's nails and Danny finds the same from the bullet. Mac brings in a box from Anthony's apartment after they issued a search warrant and this contains latex masks. There were no black men involved. Flack acts disappointed and adds his daughter will most likely grow up without him and forget him as he's looking at 15 years. Mac knows he's covering for someone cos he's afraid.
Jason wants to know how his father was shot and Sid explains how the first shot wasn't fatal, one went through his ribs, shattering some of them and the mark on his face was where the gun was pressed up against him. Jason says he was executed. Jo checks Anthony's associates and thinks the shooting was out of character for Anthony. They also used pepper spray which means they weren't intending on shooting him. Danny says they've found the car which is processed by Adam and Hawkes.
Mac tells him Mark is dead and when they catch his accomplices they'll be dealing and then Anthony won't have a chance to deal. Jo walks in with a camera as a man in a red hoodie walks in with walking sticks. He's Ided as Benitez (Riccardo Lebron). Of course that was a plant. Flack tells him he's making a deal right now and shows him to Anthony. Of course we're then shown Adam being Benitez and manipulating his image over an old recording of Benitez. Flack walks in with his confession and Anthony wants protection for his family. Anthony worked with Mark at Brigstar and decided on the robbery since Benitez owed drug money to the third man, Eric (Grant Harvey). He's afraid of him and says he didn't know Mark carried another gun.
Danny, Lindsay and Lovato arrest Eric after he fires on Lindsay and Lovato. They lock him up and he lawyers up. Mac says they may not be able to get a confession from him but Anthony can and so he's locked in the same cell. Not realizing there are cameras there, Eric tells him Benitez is dead and he left him in the trunk. He then says Anthony told them he killed the policeman and realizes his mistake. The camera sees it all and they have their case. As Mac thanks God for "civilized lies." Don't know what Lovato was so happy about, she did nothing.
Flack: "In the boat, filleted, pan fried, on the plate."
Lindsay takes Danny to Jason's and gives him his father's shield, he was proud of him. The date Adam has on screen is the actual airdate for this ep, 11th January 2013. An episode where they don't really get out as much as possible and need to find other evidence or methods for proving the crime and the presence of the suspects at the CS when forensics draws a blank. Thus resorting to confession evidence and tricking the suspect into confessing. As you will recall from CSI:NY season 1.9 Officer Blue episode, the NYPD is legally allowed to lie to suspects during questioning.
Enjoyed watching the scenes with Flack as he actually got more to do than usual. So much for Lovato telling Mac Flack was being too soft when questioning Anthony. Of course she expects everyone to go in with both barrels blazing like her and kick the crap out of them!
Mac: "He's being patient. I can't think of anybody I'd rather have in that room." Yeah certainly not you Lovato!
