C.S.I. New York Episode Guide
Back at the hospital, Flack receives word from the crime lab that the key was something
Frankie made himself. Since he was a sculptor, he had access to clay and some metals, which
allowed him to make a mold of Stella’s key and then pour a liquid metal into the mold. All he
needed to do after that is file down the key a little bit and it would fit just fine. Flack then
questions Stella a little more about what happened that night, and it seems Frankie got a little
more aggressive when Stella tried to call the police and get Frankie taken out of her apartment.
He was especially pissed off at the fact that she had tossed out the sculpture he had made for
her.
Back to the crime lab, we catch up to Danny and Lindsay working on the limo driver case.
They use a special tool to make the ’Harry Belafonte’ CD to become readable by their computer
and determine it to be a master of Kid Rock’s new album. Only the artist or someone from the
record company would have had access to this, but so could the limo driver since he and Kid
Rock were friendly. They theorize that Nick Russo uploaded MP3s of the new CD to the Internet
ahead of the release date, which would hurt the sales of the new CD. When the former driver,
Blake Matthews, found about this, he confronted Russo about this and scratched up the CD.
Russo then turned the gun on Matthews, who overpowered Russo, killing him in the process.
Another theory involves Kid Rock being involved in this. His cigar was found in the car and he
would have likely lost millions of dollars by the new album being leaked to the Internet early.
Lindsay gives Mac a call to let him know of their theories.
Later on, Mac and Lindsay team up and drop by one of Kid Rock’s parties to confront him
about their theories on Nick Russo’s death. Kid Rock says that he knew of Nick releasing the
CD onto the Internet, he actually asked him to. He says it’s like a preview, it’s a great marketing
tool. The reason Kid didn’t say anything about it in front of his manager is because he would
have been sued for breach of contract. Lindsay then notices Kid’s jacket a few feet away. Upon
closer examination, she realizes there is blood splatter across the left chest and left shoulder of
the jacket. He admits to have worn the jacket yesterday. Kid says it was probably from a kid in
the audience who jumped onstage and got roughed up by the security. Mac, on the other hand,
has a theory that Kid may have had second thoughts on having Russo leak the CD because the
serial numbers would have been traced back to him and he’d be sued. Inside of one of the jacket
pockets, Lindsay finds the CD Kid Rock was given by a female fan. She notices one of the corners
of the insert label is torn off and missing. It appears to be the piece of paper Nick Russo wrote
his number on. Before Mac and Lindsay leave, Kid assures them that he didn’t shoot the driver
and he doesn’t know who did.
On the street, Danny and Lindsay catch up to Felicia Badman, the woman who gave Kid Rock
the CD earlier in the episode. She admits to being with the limo driver that night. She asked
him for his number in hopes of he would give her a backstage pass. She happens to still have it
on her, so she hands it over to the two CSIs. As they’re leaving to take Ms. Badman downtown,
Lindsay receives a call which lets her know that the blood on Kid Rock’s jacket is NOT Nick
Russo’s blood.
Back in the lab, Danny and Lindsay examine the backstage pass Ms. Badman gave them. The
fact that the pass wasn’t attached to a necklace anymore was a red flag. They put it under a
series of lights and found some sort of substance. It may be blood, but it’s too early to tell. They
think Ms. Badman ripped the pass off of Nick’s neck, but was he alive or dead at the time?
Danny and Lindsay then question Ms. Badman again about what happened that night. She
doesn’t tell them anything new until they find the necklace to the pass inside of her purse. She
then spills her guts. Nick told her he’d give her a backstage pass if she would perform oral sex
on him, and afterwards, he had a change of mind. Before she left the limo, she checked the glove
box to find a backstage pass, but instead, found a gun. She threatened to shoot him if he didn’t
give her a pass. Instead of giving her the pass, he tried to muscle the gun away from her and
ended up getting shot. She then ripped the pass from around his neck and left.
Back to the hospital, Flack is questioning Stella about that night. She can’t explain all of the
cuts on her finger tips, and she can’t explain a lot of things from that night yet. She remembers
him tying up her hands and legs. In the flashback video of what truly happened from that night,
Stella tries to lie to him to put him at some ease in hopes of him letting her go, but it doesn’t work.
Instead, he punches her, knocking her out. When Stella comes to, Frankie drags her around the
apartment floor after telling her he’ll teach her a thing or two about crime scenes.
We cut to Mac examining the apartment, where he comes across a knife. He then finds a tub
