C.S.I. New York Episode Guide
Danny shows up to see his old partner, James Belson. They catch up on personal stuff, then
discuss how things unfolded. He fills Danny in on what happened, but says even if he knew
why Melvin was there, he couldn’t tell him. Carson would fire him. He tells Danny that Carson
doubled his salary. Danny asks him to call if he thinks of anything else.
Don finds out where the helicopter came from. It was supposedly a pleasure tour the three
men were on, but they never returned. He asks Danny about Belson; he never met him, but it’s
good to hear the bullet didn’t hit anything vital. Don asks why Belson went over to the dark side,
and Danny tells him it was simple bad luck. Working night shift, felony car stop. They found a
gun, nobody copped to owning it, so everybody went in.
Danny thought he heard a clanking noise. Don went to check but didn’t see anything. When
the next shift took the car out, they wound up with a man in the back seat who sighted a gun
under the front passenger seat. James didn’t find it, but it was there. Both cops were shot and
survived, but one spent a month in the hospital. James got put on modified duties, and could
tell that everybody was treating him different. They didn’t trust him anymore. So he resigned.
Danny says if they had just patted those guys down a little better, or if the gun had fallen one
inch in the other direction .... his whole life is different.
Don takes a call. They got the helicopter. He and Danny go head across the bay and find
the wounded robber, now dead. The LEDs are still attached to his shirt. Since the other two
men seemed unaware that they were dropping money as they went, Danny follows it. The money
stops at tire tracks, and he makes impressions. Sheldon goes to work on the money and other
evidence from the scene. He finds a microchip in the stitching of the bag they recovered. Adam
says technically, it’s a nanochip. Mac wonders if the other bag was chipped, and if so, can they
trace it? Adam finds the signal, and it’s right there, in their building.
The chip signal is emanating from a John Doe, victim of a mugging. It was in the bottom of
his shoe.
Jo flags down Mac, as she got a report from ballistics. The bullet that was taken from the
robber in the helicopter is a match to Melvin’s gun. He knew that would be the case. It also
matched Little Pete, a rival dealer that was killed two days ago. She says the dead robber’s
fingerprints ID’d him as Logan Peele, heist man from California. When Mac sees Peele’s past
accomplices, he says the kid in the morgue doesn’t fit.
Sheldon tells Sid that the only thing linking the kid to the robbery is the nanochip they found
in the bottom of his shoe. Aside from the bullet-wound at close range in his forehead, he has
a couple of contusions on his face, but no defensive wounds on his hands. Sheldon theorizes
that maybe he was unable to defend himself, as it appears there’s a shallow knife wound on his
neck. There appears to be something in the knife wound. Sid removes it. It’s cellular in nature.
He wonders why the boy was beaten, cut and shot. It seems to be overkill for a simple mugging.
Lindsay walks into Mac’s office. She asks what they wish for when they wish upon a star,
or an eyelash, or whatever. Jo wishes for her kids to be alright, and happy. Lindsay says most
people wish for money. Mac wishes there was a point, here. Lindsay says she processed the John
Doe’s clothing. She found what appeared to be splash patterns all over his shirt and his pants.
It looks like he made a wish, at a fountain. At that moment, the second duffel bag fell out of the
sky. That would explain the torn belt they found in the helicopter. Somehow the chip wound up
in his shoe. The robbers tracked it, found and killed him, and got their gems back.
Danny is working on the tire tracks. Adam asks about Jimmy Belson, and Danny says he’s
coming along fine. Adam tells him that when he examined the sand that Lindsay found, it had
a trace of gunshot residue in it. Danny is perplexed, since the sand wasn’t anywhere near the
gunfight. The computer turns up a match on the tires; they’re Supra Quadtreads. Danny found
some pollen in the treads that might help lead them to the thieves. Adam notes that they have a
lot of evidence, but not a lot of answers.
Adam asks Danny what he’d do if he found millions of dollars of gems in the street. He
doesn’t believe Danny would give them back; wouldn’t he keep some? Danny says why, would
you? Adam says no, yeah; of course. He’d give ’em back. Sheldon arrives with some news on
what they found in the neck mark on the John Doe. The cellular bit they found is likely from
the suspect’s fingernails. Arnold Vonley. Don questions him. The pen knife that he uses to clean
under his nails is the same pen knife that was held to the John Doe’s throat. It was found in
Vonley’s pocket when they picked him up. He claims no knowledge of the incident, but when he
sees the picture, he tells Don that the kid was alive when he left him. He took his wallet and
