C.S.I. New York Episode Guide
The young woman waves at Mac from the window across the way. She opens her window and
he does the same. She tells him the boys have been gone for years. The parents go to Florida every
year, they’ve been gone about a month. Her name is Haley. Mac remembers her being interviewed
when Michael disappeared. She was nine, just like Michael. She remembers his nightmares, how
he used to scream. She could hear him clear through the windows on both apartments. The
nightmares happened every night for years. Haley says the only thing that helped him was the
painting. That’s when he seemed to be at peace. She tells Mac that Michael left when he was 18.
She doesn’t know where he went, she doesn’t think he even told his parents.
Flack runs back into the bedroom Mac is in. They have another sniper victim. This one is a
gentleman, wearing a suit and tie. Unlike the other two victims, he was out on the street. His
name is Brian Sanders and he commutes to the city every day from Connecticut. Jo tells Mac
he is married and has children. He was shot in the torso not the head, as the other two victims
were. The chief shows up, and Mac asks him if he’s ready to give the truth to the public. As they
are walking Carver asks Mac how sure he is the the shooter is the sniper from the other two
cases. Mac fills Carver in on Michael Reynolds. The chief asks Mac what he wants from him. All
Matt wants is for Carver to let the commissioner know they are going public with everything they
have thus far. The city needs to be on high alert, or he guarantees there will be a forth victim.
Lindsay fears she has reached a dead end. Everything points to Michael Francis. Jo tells her
it’s classic Stockholm Syndrome, since Michael’s captor was Arthur Francis. They get a current
address for Michael Francis, and everybody moves in. When Michael doesn’t answer the door,
they take it down and are immediately faced with a dead body. Don and Danny see bugs crawling
all over the victim. He was killed with a small caliber weapon at close range, possibly suicide.
However there are signs of a struggle as well. If he’d did kill himself, where’s the gun? Don says
under the body, but when Denny flips him over, there is no gun. Rigor mortis indicates he’s been
dead more than 48 hours. Therefore, he can’t be the sniper.
Mac and Jo brainstorm about the case. If Michael’s not the killer, then who is? The DNA
that they tracked was mitochondrial. Therefore, it’s a family of DNA, not specific to Michael. The
hair had to have been from Michael’s brother, Tom. Jo looks up the reunion tape from Michael’s
return, and sees that Tom is not included in the family hug. He had probably been ignored for
the past three years. Lindsay is skeptical but Jo and Mac assure her that in this case, nature
combined with nurture resulted in Tom being a spree killer. Their discussion is interrupted when
Haley calls to tell Mac that Tom is back. She says he’s acting crazy, throwing things around like
he’s searching for something. Mac tells her to step away from the window but she doesn’t move
fast enough and Tom sees her. Mac tells Jo to send units to Haley’s apartment. Haley tells Mac
that Tom is out of sight. He asks if she is alone and she says yes. He tells her to lock the door
and stay away from the window. He hands the phone off to Lindsay and heads out the door.
When he arrives at her apartment he knocks. When there’s no response to his calling her
name, Mac kicks Haley’s door in. He sees the officer in the apartment across the way, shaking
his head to indicate there’s no one there. He approaches the closet door, gun drawn. When he
opens the door Haley is safe on the floor of the closet. She is badly shaken, and when Mac helps
her out, she lands sobbing in his arms. She asks why Mac thinks Tom came back, what was he
looking for. Mac says he doesn’t know, but he will find out.
Everything from the apartment was boxed up and brought to the crime lab. Mac finds an old
VCR tape and watches the reunion, then Lindsay and JO watch a one-man video show starring
Tom, giving his impression of what it was like to be Michael’s brother. Joel freezes the tape and
grabs the image for Lindsay to have homeland security check it against their videos, see if they
can find him on the move. He must have gone back to get the tapes. By now, he knows that the
police are onto him, and his next attack will likely be his last. His last sentence is ”one day, you’ll
pay.”
Lindsay wonders if there’s not a faster way to track him, as she is finding no matches. Jo
sends his picture out on NY Alert System. That will put his picture on every cell phone in the
city. Then they only need one person to recognize him. Tom is shown looking at the tops of the
buildings around him. If he goes up he’ll be out of everybody’s sight before they can arrest him. A
young lady eyeballs him and calls 911. Mac and Jo head out. Tom is on the roof getting his sniper
gun ready. He looks through the scope and sees the police driving the crowd to safety. Everybody
has their shades drawn and now the sniper is surrounded by snipers. Mac approaches Tom with
his own SWAT backup. They can’t have air support due to the exploding rounds.
