Larry Maddox. 63 00:06:06,620 --> 00:06:08,060 Owns the bus company. 64 00:06:08,630 --> 00:06:17,600 Got here quick. That should tell you something. Yeah, he coughed up the passenger manifest, including the driver, Martin Draper. 24 passengers, one PAL. 65 00:06:18,530 --> 00:06:35,960 Parolee-at-large. Calvin McBride. Seat One-C. California State Pen, two years, aggravated assault. He was paroled last week. And already over state lines. It was news to his parole officer. I'm sure it was. You know, my guys are matching names to faces both here and at the hospital. McBride tops the list. I'm going to talk to Maddox. 66 00:06:38,990 --> 00:06:40,310 Four-point sweep. 67 00:06:40,820 --> 00:06:41,570 Let's roll. 68 00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:05,600 Fire Department says the driver of the Camaro is dead. Yeah, I heard. 69 00:07:06,740 --> 00:07:12,020 But I think I know why the bus pulled to the right. Now that is a serious blowout. 70 00:07:12,590 --> 00:07:15,110 And the front left tire's still intact. 71 00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:20,060 Newton's Third Law: "For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction." 72 00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:23,120 Tire to rim. Rim to axle. 73 00:07:23,630 --> 00:07:25,130 Axle to suspension. 74 00:07:25,340 --> 00:07:32,600 Suspension to frame. And the lower radius rod arm... which connects the axle to the frame. 75 00:07:33,890 --> 00:07:35,000 Not anymore. 76 00:07:37,970 --> 00:07:46,070 So, if the rod arm broke while he was driving... Driver tried to maintain control. Veered to the left. 77 00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:59,000 But turning the wheel was probably going to make things worse. Putting pressure on the right front tire, causing it to blow. The bus then veers to the right and goes off the road. And we're back to Newton. 78 00:07:59,660 --> 00:08:02,570 The theory's correct if the rod arm was the first action. 79 00:08:03,530 --> 00:08:05,570 I'm going to see what's going on with that Camaro. 80 00:08:37,549 --> 00:08:40,400 We're going to get you out of here, okay?

Primary course of treatment would have been exercise and weight loss to lower blood sugar. Doesn't look like he was hitting the gym. 185 00:19:41,090 --> 00:19:58,430 But he was dieting. Crash dieting. Didn't find any food in his stomach. Means he hadn't eaten anything in at least six hours. An empty stomach invites hypoglycemia. Symptoms of which can mirror intoxication. And in extreme cases? Loss of consciousness and seizure. 186 00:19:59,060 --> 00:20:07,370 Do I pass? Cum laude. Cause of death? Just what you'd expect. Massive injuries, internal bleeding. So it's not the driver. 187 00:20:07,940 --> 00:20:09,230 We're looking at the bus. 188 00:20:35,240 --> 00:20:36,140 Check this out. 189 00:20:40,380 --> 00:20:41,060 A bolt? 190 00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:43,400 Nice. I got 20 of them. 191 00:20:44,090 --> 00:20:45,380 Well, this one's sheared. 192 00:20:47,810 --> 00:20:49,010 It is, isn't it? 193 00:21:18,530 --> 00:21:20,960 Bus company just faxed over a maintenance report. 194 00:21:21,230 --> 00:21:24,680 Bus was in perfect working order. Serviced last week. 195 00:21:26,420 --> 00:21:28,640 Does this look like it's in perfect working order? 196 00:21:29,330 --> 00:21:31,010 Uh... no. 197 00:21:31,520 --> 00:21:39,470 What did you get? Three-quarter inch bolt. It matches the bolt on the specs for this suspension system. The hex head says it's a grade eight. 198 00:21:43,010 --> 00:21:55,760 Snapped in half? Bolts are graded according to their hardness. The higher the grade, the stronger the steel. STOKES: A grade eight bolt shouldn't snap like a toothpick. Did you do a Rockwell Hardness test? Yeah, I hit it with the Tru-Blue. It's not a grade eight. It's a grade five. 199 00:22:05,270 --> 00:22:11,450 Often, when there's one... there's another one. 200 00:22:14,180 --> 00:22:16,490 Bus company was using bogus bolts. 201 00:22:16,840 --> 00:22:20,800 Inferior bolts would cause the suspension to give-- the bus veers off the road. 202 00:22:21,370 --> 00:22:29,500 If the sheared bolts were the first action. No, the bolts snapped midway through the skid, after the bus hit the K-Rail. 203 00:22:29,950 --> 00:22:30,550 Proof? 204 00:22:30,940 --> 00:22:32,140 The gouge in the road. 205 00:22:35,770 --> 00:22:37,750 Broken rod arm, maybe? 206 00:22:38,230 --> 00:22:41,770 Okay. Driver hits the brakes, initiates the skid. 207 00:22:43,570 --> 00:22:48,550 Why did he hit the brakes? Another vehicle. Nope. Only two sets of fresh skid marks on that stretch of highway. 208 00:22:48,910 --> 00:23:00,550 And the Camaro's skid marks place it behind the bus. So I ask again-- why did he hit the brakes? ( chuckles ) Man, there could be a million reasons. Well, fortunately, we're just looking for one. 209 00:23:13,750 --> 00:23:15,610 The kid in the Camaro didn't make it. 210 00:23:16,870 --> 00:23:23,530 Eric Kevlin, 32. He was a resident at the UCLA Med Center. He was on his way to Vegas to surprise his girlfriend. 211 00:23:24,100 --> 00:23:26,290 Only to end up pinned under a bus. 212 00:23:27,340 --> 00:23:29,050 But he's rescued. 213 00:23:29,770 --> 00:23:35,200 Given a second chance on life. And, uh... he signs this. 214 00:23:36,760 --> 00:23:40,540 It's a pre-op DNR. BRASS: "Do not resuscitate"? 215 00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:43,090 It doesn't make sense for a young person. 216 00:23:43,810 --> 00:23:45,490 Why refuse CPR? 217 00:23:47,560 --> 00:24:12,040 MAN: Our company has an excellent safety record. BROWN: Until last night. Look, you own an airline or a bus company-- any transport business-- accidents are inevitable. Criminal acts, however, are another matter. Wait a minute. I've got a family. Sometimes they ride my buses. I don't take a chance with their lives or anybody else's. I screen all my drivers. Zero tolerance for drugs or alcohol. I keep strict maintenance records. Vehicle inspection every 45 days as required by law. You're not going to find anything criminal here. 218 00:24:12,700 --> 00:24:14,740 I believe this belongs to you. 219 00:24:17,290 --> 00:24:18,700 Bolt, grade eight. 220 00:24:19,660 --> 00:24:20,410 Sheared. 221 00:24:20,920 --> 00:24:24,310 It doesn't happen. The front suspension was riddled with these. 222 00:24:25,210 --> 00:24:35,770 We have more questions about the accident, but one thing we know-- the suspension didn't hold. I buy all my spare parts from reputable companies. We only care about the bolts. Brillway Bolt Company. 223 00:24:36,910 --> 00:24:38,770 I just switched; they were low bid. 224 00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:41,740 The consequences of saving a buck. 225 00:24:42,580 --> 00:24:45,040 I think maybe it's time for another inspection. 226 00:24:46,720 --> 00:24:47,980 I'll ground the fleet. 227 00:25:38,650 --> 00:25:51,130 I get it, I get it, I get it. It's busy here in Barstow. But you do remember the bus? Yeah. I knew the driver-- Marty. Always fill him up on the return trip. I remember this one guy kept checking me out. Bought a lot of turkey jerky. 228 00:25:51,400 --> 00:25:53,770 Oh, and this one couple was having a fight. 229 00:25:54,010 --> 00:25:55,810 Did, uh... did they come off the bus? 230 00:25:56,140 --> 00:25:57,010 I don't know. 231 00:25:57,640 --> 00:26:00,190 But you do remember the bus? Of course. 232 00:26:00,460 --> 00:26:04,630 Mojave Express. Always on time. Ten-minute rest stop, right back on the road. 233 00:26:04,870 --> 00:26:06,580 Did you see a couple arguing? 234 00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:09,130 No. But it was really busy. 235 00:26:48,280 --> 00:26:49,090 Hey, Nick. 236 00:26:50,950 --> 00:26:52,210 Making any progress? 237 00:26:53,170 --> 00:26:54,700 Just this jacket so far. 238 00:26:55,060 --> 00:26:55,990 Passenger seat. And you? 239 00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:00,010 We checked Kevlin's property at the hospital. 240 00:27:00,280 --> 00:27:01,270 There's no wallet. 241 00:27:01,510 --> 00:27:06,070 Guy drives from L.A. four and a half hours-- I got an idea. 242 00:27:07,076 --> 00:27:11,410 ( grunts ) Hand me that, uh... crowbar there, please. 243 00:27:14,200 --> 00:27:14,830 Thank you. 244 00:27:22,420 --> 00:27:23,170 Yeah. 245 00:27:24,310 --> 00:27:25,000 Bingo. 246 00:27:29,390 --> 00:27:32,650 I always take mine out. Pain in the ass. Literally. 247 00:27:34,540 --> 00:27:35,860 Yeah, that's him. 248 00:27:37,630 --> 00:27:38,230 Yeah. 249 00:27:42,130 --> 00:27:43,000 Nice-looking girl. 250 00:27:44,699 --> 00:27:46,601 Wait. 251 00:27:47,140 --> 00:27:48,130 I've seen her. 252 00:27:51,160 --> 00:27:55,270 Yeah. Yeah, I've seen her. She was in the accident. 253 00:27:56,800 --> 00:27:58,570 He said he wanted to surprise you. 254 00:28:00,970 --> 00:28:02,170 He did. 255 00:28:02,890 --> 00:28:05,200 In Barstow, at the rest stop. 256 00:28:06,670 --> 00:28:08,830 It was supposed to be a girls' weekend. 257 00:28:09,040 --> 00:28:10,120 Come back to L.A. with me. 258 00:28:10,420 --> 00:28:17,020 No! This is my weekend. If this is going to work, I need my space. I don't want to lose you. Then go back home. 259 00:28:18,640 --> 00:28:20,050 I saw him pull out. 260 00:28:21,640 --> 00:28:22,690 Drive off. 261 00:28:23,680 --> 00:28:25,750 Well, he didn't drive back to L.A. 262 00:28:26,830 --> 00:28:28,330 I wish I hadn't yelled at him. 263 00:28:32,470 --> 00:28:38,710 Is there any reason why Eric, in a medical crisis, would refuse resuscitation? What are you talking about? 264 00:28:39,160 --> 00:28:44,680 He consented to lifesaving surgery, but... signed a DNR. 265 00:28:46,870 --> 00:28:47,800 My God. 266 00:28:51,520 --> 00:28:53,260 It's because he was a doctor. 267 00:28:55,000 --> 00:28:56,380 He saw it every day. 268 00:28:56,710 --> 00:28:59,680 People hooked up to machines, waiting to die. 269 00:29:00,610 --> 00:29:03,760 He swore he wouldn't let anyone he loved go through that. 270 00:29:04,780 --> 00:29:10,120 And, if his life was at stake, he wanted to make the hard decision so no one else would have to. 271 00:29:45,940 --> 00:29:50,530 I thought I told you I'd page you with the results. I know. I want to wait. 272 00:29:57,760 --> 00:29:58,330 Greg? 273 00:29:59,920 --> 00:30:01,420 You're really good at what you do. 274 00:30:12,580 --> 00:30:13,330 Sabotage. 275 00:30:27,040 --> 00:30:27,940 Grissom. 276 00:30:28,720 --> 00:30:32,110 I finally know the first action. What initiated the skid. 277 00:30:32,530 --> 00:30:37,930 The right front tire started to come apart. When it blew, it left an indentation in the pavement. 278 00:30:39,520 --> 00:30:42,220 I didn't see it. You and me both. 279 00:30:42,760 --> 00:30:45,070 The treads from the right rear tire obscured it. 280 00:30:48,490 --> 00:30:58,660 So, the driver overcorrects. But, since there's no more tire, all that force is displaced on the suspension system. The bolt snaps, the rod arm breaks and the bus broadsides the Camaro. 281 00:31:01,300 --> 00:31:04,840 But why did the tire come apart in the first place? 282 00:31:07,510 --> 00:31:09,340 I don't know. I do. 283 00:31:10,630 --> 00:31:13,420 Chloroform. Inside the tire. 284 00:31:21,220 --> 00:31:24,070 Newton's Third... with a twist. 285 00:31:27,520 --> 00:31:34,600 Yeah, the front right tire was compromised. I found chloroform in the interior fragments of the rubber. Oh, that's original. What happened to slashing tires? 286 00:31:34,990 --> 00:31:53,290 It wasn't vandalism. It was an act of premeditation. Why chloroform? Chloroform destroys the elasticity of the rubber. Sooner or later, the air pressure inside the tire causes it to explode. How much later? Well, that's what we're going to find out. We need a treadmill-- a big one. All right, to do what? Exercise a bus. Warrick, tell Larry Maddox it's in his best interest to lend us one of his. 287 00:31:53,650 --> 00:31:58,750 Set it up in the empty police warehouse next door. Sara? Yeah, I'll be in Trace. They're going to love this. 288 00:32:03,670 --> 00:32:05,380 Chloroform in the tire? 289 00:32:05,980 --> 00:32:10,030 Yeah. Weird, huh? So, where are we? 290 00:32:10,420 --> 00:32:15,700 Body count jumped to nine dead. Sabrina Wright, law student, 7-B. Pronounced an hour ago. 291 00:32:16,060 --> 00:32:18,370 23 passengers, plus the driver. 292 00:32:18,940 --> 00:32:24,940 WILLOWS: Whoever tampered with that tire was playing Russian roulette with people's lives. GRISSOM: Or maybe one of them was a target. 293 00:32:25,420 --> 00:32:47,980 Hmm.... Gwen Murray, 1-B... was unemployed, but was clearing a bundle in alimony. Also got the Porsche and vacation home. Michael Goodman, 10-C, was picked up a couple of times by vice for making fake I.D.s. Ryan Hyde, a money manager, in 4-C, filed bankruptcy last year but carried a hefty life insurance policy. I mean, I could go on. Right. 294 00:32:49,180 --> 00:32:51,220 You look hard enough, everybody's got a skeleton. 295 00:32:54,880 --> 00:32:56,320 What was her skeleton? 296 00:32:57,460 --> 00:32:58,570 Tracey Logan? 297 00:32:59,290 --> 00:33:00,310 Seat 8-B. 298 00:33:01,540 --> 00:33:12,730 Her boyfriend was Eric Kevlin, the Camaro driver. He was a doctor. He followed her from L.A. They had an argument in Barstow. He didn't want her in Vegas. First step to stopping her is stopping the bus. 299 00:33:13,060 --> 00:33:15,010 And he has access to chloroform. 300 00:33:15,700 --> 00:33:22,960 Chloroform can be picked up at any chemical supply store. Wait a minute. Eric Kevlin was a nervous boyfriend. He wasn't a criminal. 301 00:33:23,380 --> 00:33:27,610 Still possible. Motive, access, opportunity. 302 00:33:28,180 --> 00:33:29,800 His car should be towed in by now. 303 00:33:31,060 --> 00:33:32,020 I'll check for residue. 304 00:33:35,920 --> 00:33:37,360 So, who do you like? 305 00:33:37,570 --> 00:33:38,770 The bus company. 306 00:33:39,280 --> 00:33:46,330 Larry Maddox-- he talks a good game but, uh... he cheaped out on the supplies, and he's been way too helpful. 307 00:33:54,430 --> 00:33:58,240 You busy? I got three minutes and... five seconds. 308 00:33:58,630 --> 00:34:07,690 Then I have a question for you. Bus case? Uh-huh. I heard Sanders broke out of here, fared poorly and disgraced us all. No, he didn't. 309 00:34:10,030 --> 00:34:15,699 Listen, I... I found chloroform on the inside of a steel-belted radial, and I need to know how it got there. 310 00:34:16,030 --> 00:34:19,150 You ever hear the expression, "pissing up a rope"? 311 00:34:19,389 --> 00:34:30,400 Not in a scientific context, no. Well, I don't know if you can urinate up a rope, but you can urinate against a rope and the urine will dribble down. Answer your question? 312 00:34:31,150 --> 00:34:31,929 Yep. 313 00:34:33,159 --> 00:34:36,699 You know we need to document this for The Journal of Forensic Science, right? 314 00:34:39,699 --> 00:34:57,520 Is this the twin? Yeah, this is the rear trailing tire of the crash bus. It has the same maintenance record of the tire that blew. Chloroform, glass rod, valve core remover.... According to Vincent in Trace, it's like pissing down a rope. Gravity, huh? 315 00:35:15,220 --> 00:35:26,165 Reattach the valve... reinflate the tire... ( air hissing ) 316 00:35:34,780 --> 00:35:35,950 ...and you're done. 317 00:35:36,670 --> 00:35:39,280 Minute, minute and a half tops. 318 00:35:41,620 --> 00:35:42,670 Did you just see that? 319 00:35:43,030 --> 00:35:43,810 Yeah. 320 00:35:44,320 --> 00:35:46,870 You used your left hand to prop yourself up. 321 00:35:47,560 --> 00:35:48,880 Perp could have done the same. 322 00:35:49,540 --> 00:35:53,890 Yeah. I'm going to go dust that right rim. I'll see you guys. 323 00:35:56,440 --> 00:36:01,030 Okay. "Drive," he said. Just the speed limit. 324 00:36:58,502 --> 00:37:03,760 ( cell phone ringing ) Warrick. 325 00:37:04,810 --> 00:37:05,380 Hey. 326 00:37:06,550 --> 00:37:07,840 Yeah, okay. 327 00:37:08,140 --> 00:37:09,340 I'll be there in a minute. 328 00:37:12,250 --> 00:37:14,620 Sara. She's at the print lab. 329 00:37:14,860 --> 00:37:16,270 She needs me. 330 00:37:21,820 --> 00:37:22,510 Checkmate. 331 00:37:35,050 --> 00:37:38,920 Print off the rim matched a work card on file-- a Sean Nolan. 332 00:37:39,730 --> 00:37:41,440 So, why are you paging me? 333 00:37:41,680 --> 00:37:49,360 I pulled up his DMV records looking for an address. I found one. Not recent, but... he's got a Class B license with passenger endorsement. 334 00:37:49,780 --> 00:37:57,820 WARRICK: Oh... so he can drive a vehicle with over ten passengers. I cross-checked his name with the employee roster from Mojave Express. Mm-hmm? He's a driver. 335 00:38:00,040 --> 00:38:03,700 Well, I guess I'll grab a uniform and pay Mr. Maddox another visit. 336 00:38:04,810 --> 00:38:05,410 Thanks. 337 00:38:08,830 --> 00:38:16,210 Bus logged into Barstow at 8:03 p.m. Target would be two hours later. Well, if the tire was tampered with in Barstow, it should blow any minute. 338 00:38:16,450 --> 00:38:20,320 If not, it was sabotaged in L.A. and we've got another two hours and 13 minutes. 339 00:38:23,140 --> 00:38:23,710 Hello. 340 00:38:36,287 --> 00:38:40,750 ( explosion ) ( motor stops ) Cool. 341 00:38:41,320 --> 00:38:43,240 Well, I guess it's Barstow. 342 00:38:44,830 --> 00:39:04,720 Listen. I scanned Eric Kevlin's car and clothing with an ion detector. There was no chloroform. He was clean. And I got a hit off that print-- a Sean Nolan, employed by Mojave Express. Any chance he was in Barstow yesterday? Uh... his route is... Vegas-Grand Canyon, but I'll call Warrick. He's on his way to the bus company right now. 343 00:39:05,470 --> 00:39:10,060 You know, if this guy Nolan worked for the bus company, his print on the wheel could be legit. 344 00:39:11,500 --> 00:39:15,790 Well, I wish we had a "who," but at least we have a "where." 345 00:39:16,150 --> 00:39:24,700 I have a zero tolerance policy. I found marijuana in Mr. Nolan's locker. He was out of here that afternoon. Well, we're still going to need those maintenance records. 346 00:39:31,120 --> 00:39:34,330 Everything from fill-ups to tune-ups the last six months. Thank you. 347 00:39:38,800 --> 00:39:49,150 There were security cameras behind the counter, but none of them were pointed out here. Five buses have pulled in in the last ten minutes. Not to mention all the private vehicles, truckers-- nothing's changed since I was here yesterday. 348 00:39:49,720 --> 00:39:56,290 Forget about getting a usable print off that air hose. BRASS: Yeah, a guy putting air in a tire at a rest stop does not draw attention. 349 00:39:57,310 --> 00:39:57,820 ( cell phone rings ) Grissom. 350 00:39:58,150 --> 00:40:07,870 Sean Nolan was fired two months ago.
