C.S.I. New York Episode Guide
received a shipment of gold that morning, and are shown to the vault by U.S. Treasury Agent
Pangle. They are joined by Adam in their hunt for the murder weapon, and the lab tech is the
one who comes across it first. Hawkes tests the bar and finds blood on it. Agent Pangle tells
the CSIs that the bar came from a shipment from the manufacturer, Elemental Precious Metals.
Lindsay gets a lead on John Doe when she matches the blue green algae to a type used by a
bar in the city for making green beer for St. Patrick’s Day. She and Danny go to the bar where
the bartender, Finnegan Hansard identifies their John Doe as Charlie Cooper, a cad he kicked
out of the bar. Charlie promised Hansard an engagement ring for his girlfriend – then delivered
a cubic zirconium one and proceeded to sleep with Hansard’s girlfriend. Back at the lab, Flack
tells Mac that Paley’s apartment was ransacked, while Stella has learned that Charlie has been
in and out of China. Charlie also worked for Elemental Precious Metals, which made a mint on
melting down reclaimed gold and turning it into bullion. Mac is distracted, noticing a newspaper
with a listing for an apartment in SoHo – something he recalls the beautiful woman he met at
the deli had circled. Mac contacts the realtor and sends her a message asking her to meet him at
the deli the next night at 8pm. Mac turns back to the case, questioning Tom Weir, the owner of
Elemental Precious Metals. Weir claims he can’t think of a reason why anyone would kill Charlie
– he got along with everyone. Weir denies involvement in either death. Both Mac and Flack don’t
believe his excuses.
That night, Mac meets Reed and Cam Vandemann approaches cautiously, protesting his innocence.
He tells Mac that he and Paley were working on a story about international gold fraud
and got a tip from a Chinese source. Cam was late to the meeting, and when he got there, he
saw Paley and Cooper get murdered. Thinking the killer had left, he went in to see what he could
do, and he grabbed the gun from beneath the cabinet when the killer returned. The man left
when Cam threatened him with the gun. Mac tries to get Cam to turn over the gun, but fearing
it’s the only thing that proves his innocence, Cam flees. Reed tells Mac the reason for Cam’s
paranoia: the killer was in uniform – he was a cop. Flack is skeptical when Mac fills him in; Paley
was killed with a .22, which isn’t a standard issue police weapon. Mac and Hawkes turn to the
collection of junk Lindsay collected from the scene and put together that someone was using the
materials to test the authenticity of gold. Tracing the clover and a piece of limestone to the Irish
Hunger Memorial in Battery Park, the CSIs are able to track down Vandemann and Flack brings
him in – and gets the gun. Though the serial number is scratched off, Mac is able to recover it,
and trace the gun back to Finnegan Hansard. Flack and Danny go to arrest the bartender, who
runs – right through a St. Patrick’s Day parade – but Flack catches him. Flack interrogates the
bartender while Mac and Stella question Weir: Weir’s company was trying to pass Tungsten off
as gold and Paley and Vandemann were about to expose them. When Weir couldn’t get them to
back off, he sent Hansard, dressed in a security uniform, in to kill the bloggers and their source.
When Weir tells them they can’t prove he’s connected to the murders, Mac sends in Agent Pangle,
who charges him with a litany of offenses, including counterfeiting and fraud. Reed thanks Mac,
but Mac begs off on dinner, going instead to meet the woman in the deli, who introduces herself
as Aubrey Hunter.
