1
00:00:29,396 --> 00:00:31,610
( clucks tongue ) ( whinnying ) Let's go.

2
00:00:32,089 --> 00:00:37,190
( clucking tongue ) ( whinnying ) What is wrong with you?

3
00:00:38,780 --> 00:00:39,320
Easy.

4
00:01:07,180 --> 00:01:14,500
A girl in a culvert pipe... at a highway construction site in the middle of an alfalfa field.

5
00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:19,570
You got anything to add?

6
00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:22,210
Nothing as poetic.

7
00:01:22,750 --> 00:01:26,980
Just, uh... road crew took off at 3:00, body was discovered at 5:15.

8
00:01:28,210 --> 00:01:29,170
Who found the body?

9
00:01:30,670 --> 00:01:31,900
Our friend Flicka.

10
00:01:32,830 --> 00:01:35,020
Well, there goes that theory. What's that?

11
00:01:35,320 --> 00:01:37,720
Whoever finds the body is the first suspect.

12
00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:39,190
SIDLE: Grissom?

13
00:01:46,060 --> 00:01:46,870
What do you got?

14
00:01:47,740 --> 00:01:49,870
The one thing you don't want to find at a murder scene.

15
00:01:55,750 --> 00:01:56,830
A second body.

16
00:01:58,820 --> 00:02:02,056
Captioning sponsored by PARAMOUNT TELEVISION

17
00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:06,490
Who... are you?

18
00:02:08,620 --> 00:02:08,979
Who, who, who, who?

19
00:02:10,479 --> 00:02:11,860
Who... are you?

20
00:02:13,570 --> 00:02:15,100
Who, who, who, who?

21
00:02:15,310 --> 00:02:23,260
I really wanna know Who... are you?

22
00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:33,190
Oh-oh-oh Who... Come on, tell me who are you, you, you Oh, you! Who'd you like to start with?

23
00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:41,560
Which one died first? Identical body temps and vitreous humor. Both women died approximately 12 hours ago.

24
00:02:42,220 --> 00:02:46,840
My Uncle Phil used to say you can't kill two birds with one stone. All I can tell you is cause of death.

25
00:02:48,130 --> 00:02:51,700
Injury to the cervical spine. Looks to be hands-on.

26
00:02:53,023 --> 00:02:59,370
( cracking sound ) Somebody snapped her neck. She died instantly.

27
00:03:00,180 --> 00:03:01,230
Now, the blonde.

28
00:03:02,370 --> 00:03:05,040
Contusion to the forehead, not fatal.

29
00:03:05,550 --> 00:03:07,620
Whatever cut her face, cut her arm.

30
00:03:07,890 --> 00:03:14,040
I found glass in all the incised wounds except for these abrasions on her neck.

31
00:03:15,330 --> 00:03:16,560
Fingernails maybe.

32
00:03:16,920 --> 00:03:18,210
Possible sign of struggle.

33
00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:23,250
I swabbed the abrasions for foreign DNA, sent it to the lab. Cause of death?

34
00:03:23,970 --> 00:03:25,440
Severed Brachial artery.

35
00:03:25,710 --> 00:03:26,730
She bled out.

36
00:03:28,410 --> 00:03:29,700
Something doesn't seem right.

37
00:03:30,870 --> 00:03:36,870
Look at the brunette-- elaborate tattoos. Perfectly dyed hair.

38
00:03:43,890 --> 00:03:45,600
Multiple body piercing.

39
00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:48,270
Tells me she craved attention.

40
00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:56,550
Sure. The blonde, however... seems almost prosaic.

41
00:03:57,060 --> 00:03:58,920
She doesn't even have pierced ears.

42
00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:06,180
She didn't shave her legs.

43
00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:16,320
A wildflower and a wallflower. So, besides time of death, what do our dead flowers have in common?

44
00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:35,370
Found his SUV in the turnout after closing, so I scoped out the area.

45
00:04:35,910 --> 00:04:37,800
He should've been wearing his orange vest.

46
00:04:38,250 --> 00:04:40,230
Bullet looks like a through and through.

47
00:04:42,210 --> 00:04:43,470
He bled out.

48
00:04:44,430 --> 00:04:45,720
Hunting rifle.

49
00:04:48,510 --> 00:04:50,220
Winchester 70.

50
00:04:52,950 --> 00:04:55,710
What are you doing there? Checking liver temperature.

51
00:04:56,330 --> 00:04:57,830
Estimating time of death.

52
00:05:00,980 --> 00:05:02,840
Should be a total of five bullets.

53
00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:07,940
Four in the magazine, one in the chamber.

54
00:05:09,170 --> 00:05:10,640
All accounted for.

55
00:05:11,510 --> 00:05:13,160
This rifle was never fired.

56
00:05:16,280 --> 00:05:19,820
88.6. That's ten degrees below normal.

57
00:05:20,060 --> 00:05:26,270
So he died approximately ten hours ago. That would make it about 2:00 p.m. Nick, Catherine, he's all yours.

58
00:05:26,750 --> 00:05:27,890
Thanks, David.

59
00:05:28,820 --> 00:05:30,980
Okay, let's see who you are.

60
00:05:43,490 --> 00:05:45,140
Nevada license.

61
00:05:45,590 --> 00:05:55,830
James Jasper. When's hunting season? Deer season opened last week. Record number of permits. Well, you were right-- he should've been wearing his orange safety vest.

62
00:05:57,270 --> 00:06:03,990
Hunter lays in wait, spots a deer. Hunter fires, deer takes off.

63
00:06:04,530 --> 00:06:07,140
The bullet keeps going until it stops.

64
00:06:07,620 --> 00:06:09,270
No bullet in the body.

65
00:06:14,190 --> 00:06:15,810
No bullet in the tree.

66
00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:17,310
It's got to be somewhere.

67
00:06:27,190 --> 00:06:36,030
I processed the crime scene. Lots of treads and tracks, but nothing salient. What about the culverts? I came up empty. I worked from the victims out till I hit the highway.

68
00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:39,570
Nothing. Nothing to process, no follow-up, zip.

69
00:06:42,840 --> 00:06:44,460
You have something.

70
00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:54,820
Print lab I.D'd one of the vics. Blonde or brunette? Brunette. Joan Marks. At 18, she was booked for felony shoplifting. Lived at home. We got the address.

71
00:06:55,450 --> 00:06:57,670
Warrick grabbed a Uniform. He's on his way there with a warrant.

72
00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:21,940
Catherine!

73
00:07:23,890 --> 00:07:24,880
You find the bullet?

74
00:07:25,090 --> 00:07:26,020
Yeah.

75
00:07:27,100 --> 00:07:30,220
But how am I going to get it out of there without damaging it?

76
00:07:32,470 --> 00:07:38,710
You know what the textbook says-- if you're not 100% sure how to collect it, bring the whole thing in.

77
00:07:45,910 --> 00:07:48,400
Yeah, I'll figure it out.

78
00:08:09,610 --> 00:08:14,110
1,200 miles, and it's an older model. Driver doesn't get out much.

79
00:08:17,770 --> 00:08:25,300
Registered to a Donna Marks. Could be our blonde. Related to Joan Marks. I'll check with DMV. I already did.

80
00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:32,619
28 years old, blond, blue eyes, 125 pounds, five-six... Sound familiar?

81
00:08:32,830 --> 00:08:33,880
That's her.

82
00:08:34,090 --> 00:08:47,590
Uniform's talking to a neighbor. Donna is Joan's older sister. ( chuckling ): Well... We know what they have in common now, don't we? Genetics. House belonged to their mother. Donna's lived here alone since their mother died.

83
00:08:48,070 --> 00:08:50,080
Joan lived in Henderson.

84
00:08:50,830 --> 00:08:52,440
The real action's around back.

85
00:08:55,020 --> 00:08:58,800
If the highway was the dump site, this is the primary.

86
00:09:01,260 --> 00:09:02,610
Makes sense.

87
00:09:02,910 --> 00:09:07,200
The blonde's lacerations were filled with glass. She went through that door.

88
00:09:07,530 --> 00:09:09,030
From inside out.

89
00:09:15,270 --> 00:09:35,040
To take out one of these doors, you need some serious momentum. No doubt. I'm going to collect the glass, and then I'll start with the door frame. How are you at solving puzzles? You're the puzzle guy. I have a hint for you. When they cool sheet glass, they lay it out on tin. So the side that kissed up to the tin will fluoresce under UV.

90
00:09:35,340 --> 00:09:40,740
Still going to be a long couple of days at the lab. I got some imprints on these blood spots here.

91
00:09:43,710 --> 00:09:51,150
Looks like the killer may have stepped in Donna's blood. Or maybe her sister stepped in it. There was some blood on Joan Marks' right shoe.

92
00:09:54,090 --> 00:09:57,630
Hmm. That would place Joan at the house. And establish a timeline.

93
00:09:57,930 --> 00:10:04,830
If Joan did step in Donna's blood, that would mean that Donna was injured and bleeding while Joan was still walking around.

94
00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:35,520
Sweet and sour pork.

95
00:10:36,570 --> 00:10:37,560
It smells fresh.

96
00:10:45,150 --> 00:10:46,500
More sweet and sour.

97
00:10:47,580 --> 00:10:48,630
Mostly sour.

98
00:10:49,140 --> 00:10:52,190
Single servings in the back, spoiled.

99
00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:59,090
Family-sized boxes in front, one or two days old.

100
00:11:02,870 --> 00:11:07,850
What do you think? Increase in appetite or... perhaps a guest?

101
00:11:35,390 --> 00:11:36,740
Universal remote.

102
00:11:38,450 --> 00:11:45,260
She could do everything she wanted from this chair but cook a roast. Well, we already know she cooks like I do-- takeout on speed dial.

103
00:11:45,770 --> 00:11:50,750
Pottery Barn, Lillian Vernon, Magnolia, Yafa Pen.

104
00:11:50,990 --> 00:12:02,330
She's a catalog junkie-- we're on the same mailing lists. Catalogs, the Internet, mail order, takeout, 1,200 miles on her car.

105
00:12:03,830 --> 00:12:05,270
Agoraphobic maybe?

106
00:12:06,590 --> 00:12:08,690
Or she just doesn't like people?

107
00:12:09,140 --> 00:12:10,910
Ah. That's you talking.

108
00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:17,570
I'll haul in her PC, check her e-mail, look in on her social life.

109
00:12:24,050 --> 00:12:27,740
Hey... the toilet seat's up.

110
00:12:31,310 --> 00:12:32,570
There was a man here.

111
00:12:39,560 --> 00:12:40,130
Nick.

112
00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:55,540
Tell me what you got. Coroner said it's cut and dry. Bullet severed an abdominal artery. Trajectory? Front to back. Straight across. Round entered one inch to the right of the umbilicus. Bullet's with ballistics.

113
00:12:56,200 --> 00:13:01,870
Vega's got the widow. They're ready for us. Jimmy left early, before I got up.

114
00:13:02,410 --> 00:13:08,650
When he didn't come home for dinner, I just figured that he got himself a deer. Did he go by himself?

115
00:13:09,940 --> 00:13:12,160
He took a day off of work in the middle of the week?

116
00:13:12,700 --> 00:13:16,750
Well, um... we had both been laid off recently.

117
00:13:17,350 --> 00:13:19,690
He was in insurance.

118
00:13:20,890 --> 00:13:41,320
He was an auditor. And how was your husband handling that? Well, you know, he was okay. I mean, uh... We had to borrow money from his folks to pay the rent. That was hard on him. ( sniffling ) I have to call them. I haven't called them. I... Mrs. Jasper, was your husband an experienced hunter?

119
00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:42,760
Yes.

120
00:13:43,450 --> 00:13:45,070
Since he was a kid.

121
00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:49,030
He always looked forward to deer season.

122
00:13:49,690 --> 00:13:53,920
But, with the baby and all, he missed the last few.

123
00:13:55,420 --> 00:13:59,200
It's me... ( sobbing ): isn't it?

124
00:13:59,740 --> 00:14:01,570
I encouraged him to go.

125
00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:06,610
I thought that it would help him take his mind off things.

126
00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:11,920
Oh... What am I going to do?

127
00:14:18,370 --> 00:14:22,990
Can you think of any reason James wasn't wearing a safety vest?

128
00:14:24,550 --> 00:14:25,510
No.

129
00:14:26,740 --> 00:14:30,160
I mean, he was always so careful.

130
00:14:30,610 --> 00:14:32,290
That doesn't sound right.

131
00:14:36,490 --> 00:14:44,140
If you're here about the blood on Joan Marks' shoe, I already told Sara. I'm backed up. I'm here about foreign DNA on Donna Marks' neck.

132
00:14:44,680 --> 00:14:45,040
Oh.

133
00:14:45,480 --> 00:14:46,980
Well, on that, I got an I.D.

134
00:14:48,390 --> 00:14:54,600
You found a match in CODIS? Nope, but I ran a DNA profile on both victims. What do all sisters have in common?

135
00:14:55,140 --> 00:14:55,890
DNA.

136
00:14:58,110 --> 00:15:00,780
You're saying that Donna's sister scratched her?

137
00:15:01,547 --> 00:15:09,210
( women yelling ) ( meows, hisses ) So, did I solve the case?

138
00:15:09,900 --> 00:15:13,050
No, Greg, you didn't. But you've helped.

139
00:15:18,240 --> 00:15:19,200
Hey, Brass.

140
00:15:19,620 --> 00:15:30,120
I heard the database kicked out a temporary restraining order-- Joan Marks against her old boyfriend. I'll do you one better. The old boyfriend, Gavin Pallard, had one against her. Tit for tat. They both filed last month.

141
00:15:32,670 --> 00:15:33,810
Want to find out why?

142
00:15:34,230 --> 00:15:35,400
Don't mind if I do.

143
00:15:37,590 --> 00:15:38,550
See this?

144
00:15:39,270 --> 00:15:41,070
Didn't get this French kissing.

145
00:15:41,640 --> 00:15:42,990
Joanie had a temper.

146
00:15:43,230 --> 00:15:46,070
Punctuated her sentences by throwing furniture.

147
00:15:47,030 --> 00:15:48,650
Made it hot, you know?

148
00:15:49,370 --> 00:15:52,460
We'd break up to make up. What about the last time?

149
00:15:52,730 --> 00:16:00,800
Look, since the whole TRO business, she'd been in and out of my house three times. Couldn't stay away. According to you.

150
00:16:02,450 --> 00:16:15,860
When did you see her last? Yesterday. I dodged a coffee pot. She hit the road. What was she driving? My Thunderbird. I'd lent it to her, and used my bike. But, um... you know... I'd like it back now.

151
00:16:16,520 --> 00:16:17,780
When we find it.

152
00:16:18,830 --> 00:16:23,030
Did she tell you she was going to her sister's? No.

153
00:16:23,930 --> 00:16:28,400
Why would she go there? It's oil and water. And Joanie liked action.

154
00:16:28,640 --> 00:16:33,140
Real partier. Last party Donna went to was her third birthday. What about you?

155
00:16:34,100 --> 00:16:36,590
You been to Donna's house recently? No.

156
00:16:37,010 --> 00:16:37,970
Boring.

157
00:16:38,780 --> 00:16:40,730
Was always glued to her computer.

158
00:16:41,150 --> 00:16:50,000
Plus Joan thought Donna owed her rent and... the house was in both their names, so... May I... see the bottom of your shoes?

159
00:16:50,540 --> 00:16:52,580
Why? Why not?

160
00:17:07,010 --> 00:17:08,420
I like the shoes.

161
00:17:09,858 --> 00:17:11,480
I like them enough to get a warrant.

162
00:17:13,608 --> 00:17:14,868
I was just calling you.

163
00:17:15,530 --> 00:17:23,210
You were? Yeah. Carved your bullet out of that hunk of tree. Ah... You know, a bullet's only this big. Y'all gave me a pound of redwood.

164
00:17:23,569 --> 00:17:28,640
That's cottonwood. You should know. Heard you wanted Nick to chop down the whole tree. I did.

165
00:17:29,300 --> 00:17:35,540
Tell us about the bullet now. Striations, lands, grooves? I found some discoloration on the bullet's tail. Check it out.

166
00:17:38,080 --> 00:17:50,650
Ah. Oxidation. Yeah. Copper jacketed. The tail was exposed. Oxidation takes a lot more than 24 hours. Yeah. No way to backdate it, but it's definitely older than y'all's crime scene. ( knocking ) How's it going?

167
00:17:51,070 --> 00:18:04,930
Well, we've got the wrong bullet, but the case still seems like a write-off. Yeah. Nothing we have says that it wasn't a hunting accident. Insurance policy, two months old. A million bucks goes to the widow. She was crying poverty when she was in the money? There's more. It wasn't purchased by Mr. Jasper.

168
00:18:05,410 --> 00:18:14,260
She bought it? Monthly installments taken on Mrs. Jasper's credit card. He's in the insurance business, and she buys a policy behind his back.

169
00:18:16,270 --> 00:18:17,860
We've got to find that bullet.

170
00:19:18,070 --> 00:19:28,600
SIDLE: Donna Marks was a telecommuter. Liked to shop-- mail order-- over the phone. I retrieved lots of e-mail confirmations. If she shopped online, why did she place orders over the phone?

171
00:19:28,870 --> 00:19:30,580
Need for human contact?

172
00:19:30,970 --> 00:19:38,740
Without physical contact? She spent time in chat rooms, book clubs, home crafts, collected fountain pens.

173
00:19:39,600 --> 00:19:40,680
Personal e-mails?

174
00:19:43,260 --> 00:19:48,210
Only one buddy on her buddy list. Screen name's "Apollo." Pull up his most recent.

175
00:19:48,480 --> 00:19:50,460
That would be three days ago.

176
00:19:52,920 --> 00:20:01,140
"I know it sounds weird, but... my life began when I first heard your voice..." "When you said my name, it felt so right.

177
00:20:01,830 --> 00:20:03,300
Did you feel it, too?"

178
00:20:07,530 --> 00:20:15,990
It's easy to wear your heart on your sleeve when you're not looking in his eyes. He said her name, so their relationship must have extended beyond the computer.

179
00:20:16,890 --> 00:20:19,620
So, what do we know about this "Apollo"?

180
00:20:19,895 --> 00:20:25,260
( beeping ) You know that garbage-- those numbers at the bottom of every e-mail? Yeah.

181
00:20:26,040 --> 00:20:30,120
It's actually a unique number that registers the location of the sender's terminal.

182
00:20:31,530 --> 00:20:39,060
An address? Internet Protocol address. CSI has access. Seven different IP addresses means he used seven different computers.

183
00:20:39,900 --> 00:20:40,860
That's strange.

184
00:20:41,610 --> 00:20:42,990
Could be a network.

185
00:20:45,660 --> 00:20:49,560
"23000 Ganza Avenue, Ely, Nevada.

186
00:20:50,100 --> 00:20:52,920
Western Nevada Correctional Facility."

187
00:20:53,520 --> 00:20:55,740
Her Greek god is in the slam.

188
00:20:56,817 --> 00:21:01,830
( indistinct voices ) Like it or not, prison is a business.

189
00:21:02,730 --> 00:21:15,000
This facility is privately owned. Contract with the state. Our aim is simple: customer satisfaction. The key to any successful business, huh? Word of mouth. A body in every cot. Criminals are cutting deals to get sent here. I imagine.

190
00:21:15,390 --> 00:21:16,770
It's like a theme park.

191
00:21:17,310 --> 00:21:19,410
More guys through the turnstile, more money we make.

192
00:21:20,520 --> 00:21:22,920
So, as long as I'm in business, you're in business.

193
00:21:23,370 --> 00:21:23,850
K'ching.

194
00:21:28,050 --> 00:21:33,060
Are your inmates allowed to use e-mail anywhere else but here? No. Personal computers are prohibited.

195
00:21:33,570 --> 00:21:40,670
But they're allowed to surf the web; send and receive e-mail? Only at these terminals. And all Internet activity is strictly monitored.

196
00:21:41,480 --> 00:21:46,010
The blouse comes in Laguna Blue, Amazon Green and Tahitian Red, which is our most popular color.

197
00:21:46,790 --> 00:21:47,750
How would you like that shipped?

198
00:21:48,590 --> 00:21:50,810
UPS? Second Day Air? Overnight?

199
00:21:52,227 --> 00:21:58,100
( phones ringing ) Something tells me state funds aren't your only source of revenue.

200
00:21:58,400 --> 00:22:01,760
We have contracts with several retailers. Perfectly legal.

201
00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:18,950
So, let me get this straight. I receive a catalog in the mail. I call a toll-free number to place an order, and I'm giving my personal credit card information to a "Hello, I'm doing 'Time-Life'" operator? Once the order's routed to the fulfillment center, only the retailer has access to it.

202
00:22:19,940 --> 00:22:28,850
All right, let's cut to the chase. I'm investigating the deaths of two young women, one of whom was having a "relationship" with an inmate at this facility. I need to speak to that inmate.

203
00:22:29,060 --> 00:22:30,830
His e-mail alias is "Apollo."

204
00:22:31,100 --> 00:22:31,940
I'll check the log.

205
00:22:38,480 --> 00:22:39,560
I'm sorry. I can't help you.

206
00:22:40,520 --> 00:22:47,660
I can get a warrant. Won't do you much good. Why? Mickey Rutledge, AKA "Apollo," was released three days ago.

207
00:23:09,050 --> 00:23:09,890
Hey.

208
00:23:10,940 --> 00:23:11,630
Hey.

209
00:23:12,140 --> 00:23:14,990
How's the glass puzzle going? Still putting it together.

210
00:23:15,410 --> 00:23:19,880
I'm just doing a trace on Donna Marks' clothing, and I came across this fiber.

211
00:23:20,750 --> 00:23:22,100
Look at this cross section.

212
00:23:23,900 --> 00:23:25,070
SIDLE: Triangular.

213
00:23:25,520 --> 00:23:31,610
That means it can't be clothing fiber. Yeah, short and coarse. Car upholstery?

214
00:23:31,820 --> 00:23:53,030
Yeah... But that still doesn't get us anything. We found both vics near the freeway. We've been thinking vehicle transport from the start. Well, it's from black upholstery. What color was the boyfriend's missing Thunderbird? I'll ask him... and his lawyer. The blood from his shoe was consistent with Donna Marks' DNA. He lied. He was at the house. Really?

215
00:23:53,870 --> 00:24:01,220
What about the blood from Joan Marks' shoe? Also a match. Joan and Gavin both stepped in Donna's blood.

216
00:24:03,020 --> 00:24:06,050
Fine. I went there. We already know that.

217
00:24:06,770 --> 00:24:16,970
We're looking for, "Fine. "I went there... and..." My client went there after the fact. He was looking for his girlfriend-- didn't find her.

218
00:24:17,390 --> 00:24:27,590
Right... he found a crime scene. Broken glass, a pool of blood. BRASS: But you didn't call 911. I was scared. I took off.

219
00:24:28,940 --> 00:24:31,730
Besides, there was a restraining order against me.

220
00:24:32,420 --> 00:24:36,200
Gavin, what color is your car? Your missing Thunderbird?

221
00:24:36,470 --> 00:24:43,340
Blue. Why? Interior? Black. Did you find it? Not yet. But we will.

222
00:24:43,580 --> 00:24:53,840
Okay, the tree is a point of reference. Yeah, and since the bullet didn't hit the tree, and the blood's to the west, then the through-and-through defines our search area.

223
00:24:54,290 --> 00:24:58,610
The furthest drop of blood is here.

224
00:24:59,360 --> 00:25:02,810
The spatter seems to be confined to a 45 degree angle.

225
00:25:03,110 --> 00:25:07,190
So the bullet should be somewhere between your rope and mine.

226
00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:13,160
Yeah, we've reduced a 360 degree crime scene to a 45 degree angle.

227
00:25:13,580 --> 00:25:15,620
Congratulations to us.

228
00:25:16,130 --> 00:25:18,971
Still a needle in a haystack. ( laughs )

229
00:25:56,400 --> 00:25:57,240
Nick?

230
00:25:58,710 --> 00:25:59,460
Yeah?

231
00:26:00,030 --> 00:26:02,910
Let's just pack it up. The bullet couldn't have gone this far.

232
00:26:07,950 --> 00:26:12,570
Hey. Saw your, uh... Tahoe. I didn't expect to see you guys back here.

233
00:26:12,870 --> 00:26:29,310
Yeah, just tying up a few loose ends. Well, maybe this will help. Your dead hunter, James Jasper, didn't purchase a hunting license. Well, he was out of work. Maybe he was trying to save money. A license is 24 bucks. Hunting without one is a $1,000 fine and up to six months in jail. Whoa.

234
00:26:30,090 --> 00:26:31,920
Well, that's not worth the risk.

235
00:26:32,340 --> 00:26:43,290
Maybe he wasn't up here to hunt. We haven't heard a single shot all day. Where are these hunters that you talked about? Well, you only hunt deer at dusk and at dawn. Right, right, feeding time. It's... when they're out in the open.

236
00:26:43,500 --> 00:26:44,790
What about other game?

237
00:26:45,240 --> 00:26:49,080
This time of year, only deer's in season. You can take off those vests if you want.

238
00:26:49,320 --> 00:26:58,980
No one hunts during the day, but the coroner placed Jasper's time of death at 2:00 p.m. Yeah. That's an odd time for a hunting accident.

239
00:27:05,730 --> 00:27:17,430
Hey. Hey. Brass is holding the boyfriend on a TRO violation. I'm going back to the lab to process the prints we lifted from the toilet seat. Guy claims he was in and out. I'm thinking no time to make a pit stop. I processed the prints.

240
00:27:18,300 --> 00:27:23,700
You did? They're not a match to Joan's boyfriend. What? But... we do have a match.

241
00:27:24,660 --> 00:27:25,980
Donna's cyber-boyfriend?

242
00:27:26,910 --> 00:27:38,510
I thought he was in jail. Released last week. His parole officer brought him in. You're fishing, I just got out of the joint. I was never at Donna's house. We found your fingerprints on the toilet seat in her bathroom.

243
00:27:40,100 --> 00:27:42,590
What are you going to do, arrest me for flushing a toilet?

244
00:27:43,640 --> 00:27:46,580
Well, unfortunately, I can't arrest you for lying.

245
00:27:47,240 --> 00:27:48,440
Help me out here, will you?

246
00:27:49,250 --> 00:28:00,770
Mickey, you have the right to an attorney. But, if you're not hiding anything, I suggest you answer their questions. ( sighs ) Look, we met over the Internet.

247
00:28:02,030 --> 00:28:09,830
We had a lot in common. Donna understood my situation. When I told her I was getting out... well, she invited me over.

248
00:28:12,020 --> 00:28:14,180
No one's ever brought me flowers.

249
00:28:15,290 --> 00:28:16,910
She served takeout.

250
00:28:17,660 --> 00:28:20,777
( chuckling ): What do I care? It wasn't chipped beef. ( chuckling )

251
00:28:24,980 --> 00:28:25,760
How is it?

252
00:28:26,600 --> 00:28:37,670
Sweet and sour pork. My favorite. So she invites you for lunch. Everything's great. And, somewhere between the fortune cookies and sunset... Donna and her sister are both murdered.

253
00:28:40,190 --> 00:28:41,000
Thoughts?

254
00:28:41,269 --> 00:28:44,630
( nervous chuckle ) I think the sister's a piece of work.

255
00:28:45,320 --> 00:28:53,000
Soon as we finish eating, she shows up... ...with an attitude. This is my house, too! I'm paying the taxes.

256
00:28:53,630 --> 00:28:54,950
Who the hell is this?

257
00:28:55,190 --> 00:29:01,670
First thing I learned in the joint-- when inmates are fighting, you make yourself invisible. So I got out of there.

258
00:29:02,270 --> 00:29:10,850
Six months ago, Donna Marks ordered a sweater and two scarves from Magnolia Apparel. You took the order.

259
00:29:11,180 --> 00:29:17,240
I took 50 calls a day. How many of your callers invited you home and served you Chinese food?

260
00:29:20,030 --> 00:29:26,510
When Donna placed her order for the clothes, she gave you her e-mail address, didn't she?

261
00:29:27,560 --> 00:29:33,550
Yeah. She was lonely. She struck up a conversation with me. Reached out.

262
00:29:35,620 --> 00:29:39,340
Hey... you know, I don't usually meet girls like Donna.

263
00:29:40,630 --> 00:29:42,070
She was nice.

264
00:29:42,400 --> 00:29:57,160
She was vulnerable. No social life, no friends, not even a cat. All she had was her work. She ordered from catalogs to give herself something to look forward to. You know, Mickey, I don't think your intention was to kill.

265
00:29:57,430 --> 00:30:00,760
All of your priors are for nonviolent activities, right?

266
00:30:01,030 --> 00:30:04,780
Look, I've been in the system. I know the law.

267
00:30:05,020 --> 00:30:07,210
I admit I was there.

268
00:30:08,470 --> 00:30:09,580
So what?

269
00:30:14,950 --> 00:30:16,180
You know where to find me.

270
00:30:22,630 --> 00:30:23,770
I'll keep my eye on him.

271
00:30:29,610 --> 00:30:40,920
Joan's boyfriend, Gavin Pallard-- blood on his shoe and a TRO. Donna's boyfriend, Mickey Rutledge-- opportunity and a rap sheet. Both hid the truth... until confronted with the evidence.

272
00:30:41,940 --> 00:30:45,600
Well, we know we have two liars.

273
00:30:47,790 --> 00:30:49,200
Do we have a killer?

274
00:30:57,540 --> 00:30:58,170
Hey.

275
00:31:00,180 --> 00:31:01,290
Point of impact.

276
00:31:03,390 --> 00:31:13,110
It's, uh... Sixty-... five inches from the base. So what does that tell us?

277
00:31:13,710 --> 00:31:21,120
Well, Donna was five-six. If she was thrown through that glass, the point of impact would have been lower-- closer to the ground.

278
00:31:24,990 --> 00:31:27,120
She had multiple incised wounds.

279
00:31:27,510 --> 00:31:35,220
But the only contusion was on her forehead, suggesting that that's where contact was made. So she was standing upright when she went through the door.

280
00:31:38,880 --> 00:31:40,110
She walked through it.

281
00:31:40,530 --> 00:31:42,180
Are you saying it was an accident?

282
00:31:42,690 --> 00:31:45,090
It's your science. Thanks. Nice work.

283
00:31:45,930 --> 00:31:53,070
PD found Gavin Pallard's Thunderbird hidden off the 169, five miles from the dump site. Hook up with Auto Detail. Tow it in.

284
00:32:03,330 --> 00:32:09,360
Radiator's cracked. Well, that might explain why Joan bought coolant twice in the last week from a convenience store.

285
00:32:10,290 --> 00:32:28,220
We ran her credit cards. Well... whoever drove this puppy last filled up the radiator fluid. But, instead of coolant, they used water. Either someone unfamiliar with the car, or... someone in a desperate situation maybe. Radiator cap. I'll print it. Good.

286
00:32:29,390 --> 00:32:31,370
Grab me a sample of fluid, too, will you?

287
00:32:34,415 --> 00:32:36,950
( spritzing ) Gunshot residue.

288
00:32:38,180 --> 00:32:40,610
Expect the unexpected.

289
00:32:41,390 --> 00:32:48,710
GSR on the clothing means the victim was shot at close range. ( gunshot ) So now what? We're thinking murder?

290
00:32:49,760 --> 00:32:51,020
Or suicide.

291
00:32:51,260 --> 00:32:54,050
He never fired his rifle. What did he shoot himself with?

292
00:32:55,250 --> 00:33:07,880
Okay. But, if he was murdered, we should have found some evidence of the killer at the crime scene. Yeah. Not to mention, whoever shot him would have been eyeball-to-eyeball. Who could have gotten that close Exactly. without Mr. Jasper putting up a struggle?

293
00:33:10,460 --> 00:33:12,050
Somebody he knew.

294
00:33:12,530 --> 00:33:16,070
I'm going to call on Vega, see if he's checked out Mrs. Jasper's alibi.

295
00:33:16,430 --> 00:33:18,050
I'll meet you at the car. Okay. All right.

296
00:33:19,220 --> 00:33:20,210
Hey, Nick. Hey, Sara.

297
00:33:20,600 --> 00:33:22,160
Hey, how's your case going?

298
00:33:23,060 --> 00:33:26,030
You ever try to print a radiator cap?

299
00:33:26,330 --> 00:33:33,920
Smudge City. Yeah. Yeah, I know. It's impossible. But it's just a radiator cap, so give yourself a break. Thank you.

300
00:33:35,300 --> 00:33:39,260
Hey, Sara... you gotta get out more.

301
00:33:46,790 --> 00:33:50,000
So you got this water from a radiator? Yes.

302
00:33:51,140 --> 00:33:52,850
Well, it ain't no Rocky Mountain Spring.

303
00:33:53,060 --> 00:33:54,350
What is it, Greg?

304
00:33:54,950 --> 00:33:56,450
Nasty sodium count.

305
00:33:56,660 --> 00:33:58,730
Potassium, phosphorus.

306
00:34:03,320 --> 00:34:04,310
You've got that look.

307
00:34:05,390 --> 00:34:06,290
What did I say right?

308
00:34:09,679 --> 00:34:10,699
STOKES: Okay.

309
00:34:11,060 --> 00:34:13,159
Thanks for the info. We'll keep you posted.

310
00:34:14,690 --> 00:34:21,350
Well, Mrs. Jasper's alibi checks out. She was at work from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Ate lunch at her desk.

311
00:34:22,130 --> 00:34:23,690
She didn't kill her husband.

312
00:34:24,400 --> 00:34:25,719
Murder for hire?

313
00:34:26,750 --> 00:34:28,630
A pro would have shot him in the heart.

314
00:34:29,020 --> 00:34:30,639
This guy was shot in the gut.

315
00:34:31,179 --> 00:34:33,610
Bullet didn't even come close to his spinal cord.

316
00:34:36,280 --> 00:34:47,409
Wait a minute, now. Abdominal injuries take time to bleed out, and it would have taken at least ten minutes for hemorrhagic shock to set in, and he would have been mobile? Right. But he never moved.

317
00:34:48,159 --> 00:34:56,679
He was standing in front of this tree when he was shot. He didn't try to get to his car, get help... He just... sat down and waited to die.

318
00:34:57,280 --> 00:34:57,910
Yeah.

319
00:34:59,080 --> 00:35:00,700
Yeah, I see where you're going here.

320
00:35:01,660 --> 00:35:07,960
His injuries and his behavior aren't consistent with murder. But they're not consistent with suicide either.

321
00:35:08,770 --> 00:35:16,239
99 out of 100 suicides by gun... ...muzzle to the mouth, bullet to the brain. But there's always just that one.

322
00:35:16,510 --> 00:35:29,710
Look, suicidals want it quick and painless. Bleeding to death is slow and painful. Not to mention, he never fired his rifle. No, the weapon we found was never fired.

323
00:35:30,350 --> 00:35:34,480
That... that's a big stretch. He brought his rifle plus a spare?

324
00:35:35,350 --> 00:35:45,340
He shoots himself in the gut, leaving himself time to hide the weapon. Yeah, but there's no blood trail. What did he do with the spare? Throw it up a tree?

325
00:35:48,250 --> 00:35:49,600
How about the lake?

326
00:35:52,870 --> 00:35:55,600
Yeah. Yeah, okay. Heads up.

327
00:36:05,560 --> 00:36:07,300
I just marked our search area.

328
00:36:12,100 --> 00:36:20,230
You know, even if your theory's right, we still haven't explained the insurance policy purchased by the wife.

329
00:36:24,300 --> 00:36:24,930
Hey.

330
00:36:26,610 --> 00:36:27,960
Metal on metal.

331
00:36:30,580 --> 00:36:31,740
Hold up. Let me give you a hand.

332
00:36:32,160 --> 00:36:32,549
Okay.

333
00:36:34,380 --> 00:36:35,010
Right there.

334
00:36:35,550 --> 00:36:37,140
Yeah. Yeah, I got it.

335
00:36:37,350 --> 00:36:38,040
I got it.

336
00:36:41,040 --> 00:36:41,640
Whoa.

337
00:36:43,560 --> 00:36:44,790
Water pistol.

338
00:36:45,930 --> 00:36:48,390
Well, we never found the bullet, but we found the gun.

339
00:36:59,442 --> 00:37:05,130
( splashing ) Mr. Jasper committed suicide.

340
00:37:07,050 --> 00:37:08,970
And the wife's out a million bucks.

341
00:37:11,040 --> 00:37:11,940
Thank you.

342
00:37:15,030 --> 00:37:24,570
Mrs. Jasper, you purchased a life insurance policy on your husband in which you are the sole beneficiary.

343
00:37:25,710 --> 00:37:27,870
I don't know what you're talking about.

344
00:37:29,400 --> 00:37:39,900
We have the actual application for the policy with your signature. Ma'am, you are aware that insurance policies exclude suicide?

345
00:37:40,680 --> 00:37:47,490
Your husband staged his death to look like a homicide.

346
00:37:47,880 --> 00:38:01,650
As a beneficiary, if you knew of his intentions to take his own life, that would constitute fraud. If I knew, I would have stopped him.

347
00:38:03,300 --> 00:38:05,310
Jimmy was everything to me.

348
00:38:06,510 --> 00:38:09,990
I didn't buy the policy. I didn't know about his plans.

349
00:38:10,590 --> 00:38:10,920
Hi.

350
00:38:11,910 --> 00:38:12,390
Hi.

351
00:38:17,670 --> 00:38:18,840
You want to explain this?

352
00:38:19,730 --> 00:38:20,420
Sure.

353
00:38:24,770 --> 00:38:29,660
Mrs. Jasper, when you claimed your husband's personal possessions, you signed a release form, yeah?

354
00:38:30,980 --> 00:38:39,800
Well, I ran that same form through our Questionable Documents Lab, and I cross-checked your signature with the signature on the insurance application here.

355
00:38:41,720 --> 00:38:42,980
It's not yours.

356
00:38:44,240 --> 00:38:46,850
Your husband must have forged it.

357
00:38:47,090 --> 00:38:49,850
I also checked with the insurance company.

358
00:38:50,570 --> 00:38:53,060
Your husband opened the account.

359
00:38:55,220 --> 00:38:55,610
Why?

360
00:38:56,150 --> 00:38:57,110
Why?

361
00:38:57,410 --> 00:39:00,170
I don't understand that. Why did he do that?

362
00:39:01,280 --> 00:39:15,650
Because he knew that, if he had bought the insurance himself, it would have sent up a red flag. ( voice breaking ): So what you're saying is... that my husband killed himself for me?

363
00:39:18,590 --> 00:39:19,280
Yes, ma'am.

364
00:39:26,280 --> 00:39:38,930
Well, it may sound funny, but I'm proud of it. Took almost a year to put in my new fertigation system. Automatically mixes the fertilizer with the irrigation system. How about that? Economical and practical. What you're looking for is over here.

365
00:39:44,450 --> 00:39:55,430
Cars are always overheating on this stretch, and everyone thinks water's free. What do you use in your fertilizer? Nitrogen, phosphorous and potassium? Standard 6-10-10 mixture.

366
00:39:56,810 --> 00:40:00,590
Mr. Willoughby, would you mind if I fingerprint your spigot?

367
00:40:00,920 --> 00:40:03,050
No one's ever asked me that before.

368
00:40:24,790 --> 00:40:25,570
Thirsty?

369
00:40:26,200 --> 00:40:27,310
I'm good, thanks.

370
00:40:27,760 --> 00:40:31,180
Yeah, I wouldn't drink it either. I wouldn't even put it in my radiator.

371
00:40:33,760 --> 00:40:49,360
I don't have all the pieces yet, Mickey, but, uh... I'll tell you what we do have. You're an ex-con. Get the hell out of here! Don't listen to her, Mickey. This is my house. This is my life! You're so desperate, you've got to get a date through the computer, then you end up with him. Pathetic!

372
00:40:50,110 --> 00:40:55,060
We know that Joan scratched Donna. We also know that Donna died first.

373
00:40:55,270 --> 00:40:56,680
I didn't kill her.

374
00:40:57,610 --> 00:41:02,740
That's right, you didn't. You are so selfish! Stop it! Get your hands off me! No!

375
00:41:03,040 --> 00:41:05,110
Donna's death was an accident. Agh!

376
00:41:05,875 --> 00:41:13,330
( glass breaking ) But Joan went off on you. And, up to that point, you hadn't done anything wrong.

377
00:41:13,750 --> 00:41:15,310
So what went wrong?

378
00:41:16,270 --> 00:41:17,740
It wasn't my fault.

379
00:41:18,580 --> 00:41:19,480
She's dead.

380
00:41:19,810 --> 00:41:22,240
You're going right back where you came from.

381
00:41:25,349 --> 00:41:34,240
( sighs heavily ) Rehabilitation was working for me. But you put a guy in that position... He's got to go all the way.

382
00:41:35,156 --> 00:41:39,726
( Joan screams ) ( bones crunching )

383
00:41:42,760 --> 00:41:45,310
You figured, if you hid the bodies, you'd be in the clear.

384
00:41:45,790 --> 00:41:47,620
But you didn't have a car.

385
00:41:48,520 --> 00:41:49,570
Joan did.

386
00:42:04,210 --> 00:42:07,420
You could've just backed off, let Joan make the call.

387
00:42:07,904 --> 00:42:13,360
( skeptical chuckle ) I would've landed myself right back in the joint. You don't know that.

388
00:42:13,720 --> 00:42:14,230
Come on.

389
00:42:15,220 --> 00:42:16,830
Who's going to believe a guy like me?

390
00:42:18,930 --> 00:42:19,890
A guy like me.

391
00:43:22,760 --> 00:43:29,130
( dialing beeps ) ( phone ringing ) Hey, it's Sara.

392
00:43:30,750 --> 00:43:36,090
I was, uh... thinking... You want to go out... somewhere?

393
00:43:37,394 --> 00:43:41,031
