C.S.I. New York Episode Guide
Inspector Gillian Whitford pays Mac a visit: someone left a copy of The Ledger, Dunbrook’s paper,
on her windshield after the gala with the words ”Follow the money” written over Kaplan’s picture
on the front page. Gillian is determined to get her hands on Kaplan’s financial records, and Mac
points out that before being named Deputy Mayor, Kaplan was the Commissioner for Construction
and Renovation. Adam matches eyelashes on the balloons Kaplan fell with to his son, Jake,
and he and Stella posit that the boy is likely OCD. Because the transfer occurred right around
the time of death, Stella wonders if Jake killed his father. Despite Adam’s skepticism, Stella notes
that the boy could have strangled his father by applying pressure to the right places. Lindsay
offers up another lead: the horse hairs on Kaplan’s body belong to a thoroughbred owned by
Robert Dunbrook. Mac questions the man, but Dunbrook tells the CSI that he ran into Kaplan in
the bathroom and urged the man to put their differences aside, patting him on the shoulder as
they walked out. Mac is skeptical; Kaplan was a roadblock for the powerful Dunbrook. Lindsay
IDs the wood from the chip as balsa wood, but she and Stella are interrupted when a chagrined
Hawkes calls and tells Stella that the case Danny was supposed to testify at was thrown out
because Hawkes was railroaded by the defense. An angry Stella goes to confront Danny at home,
but when she gets to his apartment, she has calmed down and can understand his point of
view–even if she doesn’t choose to make the same stand.
Gillian brings evidence against Kaplan to Mac: the deputy mayor was running fraudulent
charities. Mac points out that the person who left the newspaper on her car left it two hours
before it was published, leading him to suspect it could have been Dunbrook. Adam finds trace
on his iPod and is surprised when it matches trace found on Kaplan’s neck, linking Jake to the
murder. Stella is finally able to identify the bruise on Kaplan’s neck as one made by a clip on tie.
Stella and Flack go to Weston’s house to find Jake, and Stella spots a board game with pieces like
the one found on Kaplan’s body. Flack recognizes the boy as the same one who he saw sitting in
the precinct earlier, waiting for Adam. Stella and Mac try questioning Jake to no avail, so they
turn the boy over to Adam. Adam recognizes OCD traits in Jake, and draws the boy out. Jake
tells Adam that his father found him hiding during the party and snatched away the game piece
he was holding. Jake lost control and attacked his father in order to get it back, accidentally
killing him in the process. Jake tells Adam that even though his dad was mean sometimes, he
really loved him. Adam leaves the precinct upset, followed by Stella, who is concerned about him.
Mac gets a call to meet Dunbrook and is surprised when the man opts to end the union stand
off by handing Mac a check for twenty million dollars for the NYPD. Though Mac has qualms
about taking the check, Gillian does not. Danny returns to work, and immediately offers to help
Hawkes with his workload.
