C.S.I. New York Episode Guide
We return outside to a chaotic street scene. Stella Bonasera arrives and gets out of her vehicle
and is approach by Flack who immediately begins filling her in on the details of what he knows.
Which isn’t a lot of detail. The bank employees were just showing up for work when a gunman
entered ”cowboy style” orders everyone on the ground and immediately heads to the open vault.
One of the bank employees was able to trip a silent alarm, which brought an immediate response.
Stella inquires about an ID on the gunman, Flack gives her what little he knows and then informs
her that he’s already killed someone inside. ”He’s already killed a hostage?” a shocked Stella asks.
Flack informs her that witnesses who got out told them they heard a gun shot and then saw a
body lying on the bank vault floor. Stella then notices Mac’s vehicle parked outside and she asks
for his location and Flack adds to Stella’s shock that he’s inside with the body. Flack continues
to tell her that amongst the gunman’s demands was a member of Crime Scene to prove he’s not
a murderer. So Mac offered himself up in exchange for the release of a hostage. Stella comments
that the man they are dealing with is smart and asking for a cop as added insurance.
We return to inside the bank. A weighed down Mac begins to process his crime scene. He takes
photos while dragging the bank bag cuffed to his ankle. The gunman watches his every move.
Mac slips in some pictures of the gunman back while it’s turned in with the crime scene photos.
When he’s through he asks to use a computer to send the pictures to the lab. The gunman
asks how a simple picture is going to prove his innocence. Mac explains that the procedure is
to process the crime scene in it’s original state and he can’t begin to process the body until the
photos are analyzed. The gunman contemplates the request.
Back outside we have SWAT, Stella and Flack and reviewing their options. Flack turns to one
of the team to ask a question suddenly we see a news cameraman running towards the bank.
Flack orders that he be removed but the cameraman proceeds on his course and angles his way
to the bank entrance. He has the perfect shot of Mac and the gunman’s back for the news station.
SWAT moves in and forcibly removes the cameraman.
The gunman makes his decision. Using his weapon he tells Mac to use the computer on a
nearby desk. He instructs not to try and pull any tricks. Cautiously Mac goes to the computer
and begins to upload the needed photos. Mac inquires as to the gunman’s name. ”Joe” is all that
is offered. Mac asks for his real name. Joe is all that Mac’s going to get. Joe’s cell phone rings. He
steps away from Mac to take his call. The gunman becomes flustered. He begins to look around,
Mac’s not sure at what. We see a flash of the scene that the news cameraman took. Joe is trying
to calm the person on the phone down to explain the situation.
One of the hostages inquires as to whether or not Mac is a cop, when he says he is, the
hostage says that he needs to get them out of there. Another hostage explains that she’s three
months pregnant and doesn’t want to die. Joe is still attempting to explain that whatever the
person on the phone saw that that is not what happened. He hangs up the phone.
Back at the command center outside, Flack’s complaining about the media and Stella informs
him that she’s just received Mac’s photos. Stella and Flack determine the first course of action
is to identify the victim. So they print a photo and ask the hostage released who the victim is;
she tells them it’s the bank manager Walter Sotherferd. Stella asks if the manager engaged the
gunman in anyway and the witness said no. She informs them that she heard that there was
a body in the vault but she didn’t see him get shot. Stella and Flack thank her and walk away.
Flack shares with Stella that of everyone that had gotten out of the bank no one saw Joe kill the
bank manager. Stella reminds Flack that that’s Mac’s job and Flack in turns lets Stella know
he’ll send someone to the manager’s house to make the notification of his death. As they walk,
Richard Jackson, HRT Commander, approaches them. Jackson says his teams been working
on the surveillance and has determined that it feeds directly into the bank manager’s office.
Which means, if the gunman allows Mac to, he would have access. Jackson also informs Stella
and Flack that he’s already arranged to have the power shut off. Stella tells him that he can’t.
Jackson tells her that it’s an active crime scene and the something productive needs to be done.
Stella informs him that if the power is shut down the dead body will decompose faster and they
would lose valuable evidence. Flack concurs that it would compromise the ability to end the
situation peacefully. Jackson tells them both that the situation needs to be resolved and making
Joe comfortable is not the way to do it. Jackson tells them they have two hours and suggests
that Detective Taylor work a little faster.
Inside the vault Mac is beginning to look at bank manager’s body. He looking for something,
Joe’s asks what? Mac informs him that he’s looking for foreign DNA something left behind by an
