CSI Files
Captain
Synopsis:
At the Desert State Psychiatric Hospital, Nurse Nanette Faber makes a gruesome discovery: the body of Robbie Garson, bloody and battered on the floor of his room, while another inmate, Kenny Valdez, sits by him, blood on his hands. Brass, Grissom and Sara are called to the ward, which houses patients who are criminally insane and sexually violent. They learn Kenny had been in isolation earlier in the evening. Kenny suffers from Renfield's syndrome--he is excited by the sight of blood. Though Robbie was apparently violently attacked, there is no blood spatter on Kenny's clothes. Valerie Dino, the on call doctor, is skeptical when the CSIs want to question the patients, but allows Grissom and Brass to go ahead while Sara examines Robbie's room. Ronald Salter thinks a cricket is responsible for Robbie's death, Earl Simmonds complains that he never sleeps, Adam Trent informs Grissom he's a rapist not a murderer, Roman Wolenski says nothing at all, Charles Pellew spews incomprehensible babble and Jake Werner offers an outlandish conspiracy theory.
Sara finds semen on Robbie's sheets and approaches Dr. Dino about it. Dr. Dino tells Sara that Robbie was chemically castrated and therefore couldn't have been his. The CSIs decide to swab all of the inmates and the workers as well. At the morgue, Dr. Robbins tells Grissom that Robbie died of asphyxiation, not the blunt force trauma, which occurred post mortem. Robbins also points out ligature marks on Robbie's wrists and ankles. Hodges analyzes some of the hair from the victim's body and tells Sara that some of the hair is bleached. His blood also contained one anti-psychotic and ibuprophen. Sara looks at Robbie's chart and notes that he was supposed to be receiving five anti-psychotics in total meaning he wasn't getting four of them. Brass notes the hospital had reported two deaths by restraint in the last three years and couldn't afford another. Video of Robbie in the restraints shows he was very agitated.
Sara checks out the ward's pharmacy and sees that the drugs in the patients' cups are over-the-counter ones, not their prescriptions. Leon, the pharmacist has been stealing his patients' medicines and selling them. Leon complains about his paltry salary and claims the hospital over-medicates the patients. Brass wonders if Robbie caught Leon switching the medicines. Sara and Grissom reconstruct the timeline, noting that Robbie was in bed at 9:30 and dead by 12:30. Greg tells them that he's found Robbie's saliva on his pillow, as well slits on the side of the pillow. He believes it's the murder weapon. Sara talks to Nurse Joanne McKay who tells her Robbie brought a photo to group, which is against the rules and got him sent to isolation. Grissom calls to tell Sara that the semen on the bed was from Adam Trent. The CSIs go through Adam's rooms, examining his art work and uncovering some letters and a hairbrush hidden in a floor air vent.
