Summary:
The team must find out if one team’s fun led to murder in the New
York version of the Iditarod. The CSI must find who or what may have
caused a rich man to be alone in his apartment.
Snow falls over New York, covering the city in its white mantle. Heedless of the cold, a group
of kids play football on the street. The ball ends up thrown through the street-level window of
an apartment building. Looking inside, the kids see man lying on the floor, right next to the
ball, with a large blood stain on his shirt. ”I think you killed someone”, one says to the other.
Scared, they run away, cutting through the park. Their path is crossed by a shirtless man in a
joker hat, sleighing down a slope on a shopping cart; the cart bumps, he falls, and it becomes
clear he’s dead. Det. Angell tells Danny and Hawkes a couple of power walkers found the guy
in the jester hat. ”Somebody should have mentioned it was winter”, says Danny, since the guy
was wearing only the hat and shorts. He has no ID. As they are examining the scene, two other
shopping carts pass by, one pulled by girls dressed as cheerleaders, the other pulled by girls in
bunny costumes. It seems to be a race. In the apartment seen at the beginning, Flack explains
to Mac and Stella the place was tied up in probate, no one has lived there for nearly one year.
They are still trying to find out who the dead guy was. Flack tells them how the kids got into the
precinct claiming their friend’s football had killed a man. Stella notes every piece of furniture is
covered by a sheet, with the exception of a couch and a chair with a coil of rope around it. There’s
also no blood drops. Flack adds that the victim does not look like a homeless person. So what
was he doing there, Mac wonders. Examining the scene, they gather the rope, some packing
tape with prints and trace. The door looks as if it was broken into and repaired, and there’s
evidence someone cleaned a blood pool near the body. But why clean the blood and leave the
body? It makes no sense. At the park, Hawkes and Danny are still working on the scene. Adam
arrives, visibly shivering, and Danny tells him to stop being a girl, it’s not that cold. ”I’m from
Phoenix”, Adam replies, ”85 degrees is considered freezing.” Two other carts pass by, one pulled
by a team of guys in Hawaiian shirts, the other by a team in medical scrubs. Angell and Danny
head to the finish line, leaving Hawkes and Adam to work the scene. Observing the footprints
and blood spatter, they find evidence of a fight. There’s also the heel of a stiletto shoe stuck in the
snow. At the morgue, Sid shows Hawkes the trace he picked up from Jester Hat’s head wound:
probably nail polish. He was hit that hard by a woman? The victim had also consumed quite a
