C.S.I. New York Episode Guide
Danny and Hawkes are the lab, testing the hoses from the diver’s oxygen tank. They find that
the hose was punctured, most likely with a hypodermic needle filled with cyanide. They believe
that the hose was probably punctured during the dive, by somebody Holden was diving with.
Working from the list they got from the diving school, Flack and Stella each pay visits to
some of the victim’s clients. Stella meets a jeweller couple who went to St-Kitts on a private
diving lesson with Doug (the victim), the wife seems very pleased with the lesson. Flack has a
discussion with a waitress who has had lessons with both Doug and his partner, Matt Campbell.
She tells him that Matt was a bit competitive and liked to show off but that Doug just ”went with
the flow”. Finally, Stella meets two foreign students who only had 3 or 4 lessons with Doug due
to the fact that one of them came up too fast one time and got decompression sickness (bends),
so they had to stop the lessons.
Back at the lab, Stella and Mac are discussing the possible involvement of Matt Campbell
in Doug’s death, since he (Matt) has been missing for 3 weeks also, he could be the killer or
another victim. Lindsay interrupts them to give the results of her autopsy of the starfish. She
found traces of an epoxy resin in the starfish stomachs. This particular resin was used to encase
the asbestos insulation in the New York subways in the 1960’s. The subways were later dumped
in the East River. The team now has a primary crime scene.
Mac is on a boat with Danny and Hawkes who are all dressed up in diving gear. They are
getting ready to dive to the subway reef to find any clues that might help solve the case. Mac
warns them that it’s ”dark down there and there are tidal currents, rocks and reefs to deal with”
so they should stay within their assigned grids. Danny and Hawkes dive and proceed to inspect
to subway cars. They don’t see anything special except a lot of starfish, until Hawkes stumbles
upon another dead scuba diver.
Back at the lab, Sid gives Hawkes the rundown on the second victim. He died of cyanide
poisoning, just like the first victim. Dental records have confirmed that the second victim is Matt
Campbell, Doug Holden’s partner.
Lindsay and Stella are processing Matt’s diving gear. Lindsay finds some kind of worm in his
diving mask. Stella finds what looks like gold coins in one of his gloves. They are heavy like real
gold and are dated 1783. They speculate that the divers might have been looking for a buried
treasure which would explain why they took the risk of diving in the dangerous East River.
Stella takes the coin to a specialist at an antique shop. After examining it, he tells her that
the coin is a fake. He goes in the back of the shop to get more information in his files. While
Stella is waiting for him to come back, a customer browsing nearby tells her that the real version
of the coin she found sells for over 10 000$. Surprised at this information, Stella asks him
how he happens to just know that. He motions to a book in his hands ”Old coins of Spain”. He
admits that he had to find some excuse to talk to her and introduces himself as Drew Bedford.
While shaking Stella’s hand, he tells her that she has a nice energy and that he noticed it the
second he saw her. Before Stella can reply, the consultant comes back. He gives her a little more
information and says that if he had a picture of the coin she found, he could investigate more.
She agrees to have the lab send him a picture and leaves him her business card in case he finds
anything. She thanks Drew Bedford for the information and leaves.
Stella meets Mac back at the office and tells him about the fake coins. They are high quality,
lead electro-plated with a gold veneer. Mac mentions that cyanide is used in the electroplating
process so they could be looking for a jeweller or metal worker. Stella remembers that one of Doug
Holden’s clients was a jeweller, Colin Barnett. They have Flack bring him in for questioning. When
Flack asks Colin about the coins, Colin says he has never seen them before, he’s a jeweller, not
a coin maker. Flack tells him about the electroplating process and Colin comments that based
on that alone, all the jewellers in town could be suspects. But Flack tells him that he (Colin) had
motive to kill Doug Holden. When Colin and his wife Erika were in St-Kitts with Doug Holden,
Erika had an affair with Doug. Flack tells Colin that it must have been tough for him to be the
”third wheel”. Colin explains that he and Erika had an understanding and that he was totally
fine with her spending some extra time with Doug after the diving lessons in St- Kitts.
Stella enters Mac’s office. He’s sitting at his desk, in front of his computer. She tells him
that Colin’s alibi checked out. They discuss the case. Stella thinks the diver’s might have been
involved in a treasure hunting scam. Mac mentions that there are hundreds of shipwrecks at the
bottom of the East River, it would be plausible that someone might have lured the divers with
the promise of a treasure. Stella suddenly tells Mac that she tried calling him 5 minutes ago but
