lot of alcohol, and he had been stabbed with a price tag gun not long before dying. The tag reads
”$ .89”. There’s a party at the finishing line, and Danny discovers it’s the ”Idiot Run”; like the
Iditarod dogsled races in Alaska, explains Carla, a girl dressed as dominatrix. The objective is to
get to the finishing line first, before midnight. The shopping carts are just taken from wherever
they can be found, she tells him. A guy in a firefighter costume tells Angell they don’t to it to win,
they do it do have fun sabotaging other teams. A homeless guy tries to take the firefighter’s cart
then and is sent away. A girl wearing a princess crown recognizes the victim as Bruce Abbot,
a member of her team. They crashed on a patch of ice left by the firefighter team, and when
the others decided to quit and go drink, Bruce said he’d stay to sabotage other teams. Back at
the morgue, Sid is now examining the guy found in the empty apartment. His stomach contents
reveal he had fresh strawberries shortly before he died. His nails are professionally done, his
skin and hair are also indicative of high priced maintenance. And he was wearing an expensive
suit. How to make sense of all that and the crime scene findings? Was it a kidnapping? It might
be, but Sid points out no trace of adhesive on the body indicates he was not the one who was
bound. ”We’re possibly looking at New York City’s best dressed kidnapper”, concludes Stella.
But where’s the victim? Lindsay shows Mac she found brunette hairs on the tape and on the
victim’s suit, and also traces of lipstick on the tape. The kidnapping victim was a woman. DNA
analyses shows the blood that had been wiped from the floor was from a male, but it was not
the victim’s, so there was also a third person in the room. Another kidnapper, still holding the
hostage somewhere else? Mac tells Stella there’s no recent record of a kidnapping or of a brunette
female missing. She reasons the victim could live alone, but if it was so, what about a ransom
demand? Adam shows Mac and Stella his findings show the door was patched up about a month
before. Also, the DNA sample shows the blood on the floor was old. That means the theory of a
second kidnapper doesn’t work anymore. The question of where’s the kidnapping victim remains
unanswered. The month-old blood on the floor belongs to an ex-con, Artemis Hunt, who just
missed a parole meeting. Stella and Flack go after him. He claims to have been in Atlantic City.
According to him, his PO got him a job with a property management company, and he does
repair work for them. He repaired the door of the apartment about a month before, and stabbed
his finger in the process. Flack takes him to the precinct anyway. Hawkes shows Danny the
footstep pattern on the snow suggests there was a struggle. Danny notices a strange pattern,
a sequence of right foot steps, no left foot ones. Are they dealing with a one-legged suspect?
”I always say if it’s odd, run with it”, Danny says. Sid comes into the room to tell them he’s
found the murder weapon: Bruce’s head wound was done by a foot. A woman’s right foot, Danny
guesses. That would explain the nail polish. ”So our murderer is a one-legged, barefoot woman
who’s got serious kung-fu skills”, summarizes Danny, knowing it sounds quite odd. But Hawkes
remembers something. The broken stiletto heel might be the reason there wasn’t a pair of prints,
she was walking awkward. The stiletto heel is made of leather, which reminds Danny of Carla’s
dominatrix outfit, and how her shoes did not match it. There’s also Rita, the princess of Bruce’s
team, who was pushing the cart with one foot on it and the other on the ground. In the interview
room, Rita tells Danny the race was silly and she did it for fun. He reminds her all her other
teams won, this was her first loss; also there’s a money prize and the winning team get to be
on the cover of sport magazines. Still she insists she didn’t kill Bruce. Danny asks her for a
foot impression. A foot impression is also what takes him to Carla, whose foot is bandaged. She
tells him her heel broke and she sprained her ankle. Bruce had covered a grate with snow, her
heel was caught in it. Still, she’s positive she didn’t kill him. ”I’m not into violence”, she says.
Danny points out she was dressed as a dominatrix, but that, for Carla, is not about violence,
it’s about fun. She invites him to try it, but Danny politely declines, saying he’s not into fun.
A casino in Atlantic City has Artemis on their security tape, so his alibi is confirmed. But Mac
tells Stella the victim had champagne with the strawberries. Perhaps the victim took a chance to
run while he was getting drunk and killed him. But where is she? She might be hiding, unsure
of what to do after killing a man, Mac points out. Or, if she came from a wealthy family, they
might be trying to keep it low profile. A license plate from a car parked outside leads them to an
Alex Martin. Mac finds out he worked at the firm that manages the apartment – thus he had the
key. His secretary tells him Martin had monthly mysterious appointments, she just assumed he
was seeing a shrink. Stella finds evidence the hostage was shoved into the trunk of the car. And
there’s also traces of a horse in that trunk. That leads them to the stables in Central Park. There
Mac and Flack learn that the horse in question belongs to one Elizabeth Grayson. Hector, the
