CSI Files
Captain
Synopsis:
In Hollywood on the walk of fame, Ellie Brass, going by the name Jersey, and her friend Dakota are working the block. Dakota approaches a car and gets in. Hours later, she's still not back and Ellie is concerned, but the police officer she tells brushes her off. So she calls her father, Jim Brass, in Las Vegas and he decides to come down to Los Angeles to help her. Sheriff Burdick is reluctant to give him time off, but Brass presses and he grants it. Brass flies to LA and heads straight for the LAPD where he meets up with Annie Kramer, an old colleague of his from his days on vice. After they reminisce about the old days, she breaks the news gently to him that Ellie and her friend Dakota are prostitutes. She gives him Ellie's last known address and he goes to the run-down apartment complex. He calls Ellie from below and she tells him she's fine and lies about where she lives and what she's doing. Through the window, he sees a tall African American man with Ellie.
Annie calls Brass: the BMW Ellie saw Dakota get into has been found in Koreatown. Two teen boys were caught trying to hotwire it, but they insist the windows were already broken. Brass notices a sticker on the car's windshield with the initials B.H.G.C. on it. The trunk of the car has been stripped clean, though there are two bullet holes in it. Annie summons CSI Matt Glazer who arrives with none other than Warrick Brown, who is in town for a HIDTA (High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area) conference. Brass is happy to see Warrick, who notices blood in the car. He tells Brass he's in town all weekend and offers his help. Brass goes to see Ellie and tells her they need Dakota's blood to match to their sample and she tells him that she and Dakota visited a free clinic to get tested the week before. Brass is disappointed to learn she doesn't always use protection when she has sex, and she storms out when he tells her she's smarter than that.
Annie and Brass go to the clinic where Dr. Norma Sepulveda is reluctant to give them the sample. They tell her they need it for a DNA match and she hands it over. Annie gets a call--the car's owner has been found. Annie and Brass go to the house of Todd Piccone, an assistant city attorney, who admits his car was stolen. He says he didn't report it because he was with a prostitute when he was carjacked. He assumed she was with the guys who carjacked him and didn't want to risk his reputation by reporting the crime. He refuses to let the detectives search his home, so Annie improvises and tracks down Judge Silvio Peters, who is dining with several friends including Vic Patterson, a television star turned mayoral candidate, in the hopes of getting warrant. Peters turns down her request while Brass talks to Patterson and notices the man's tie clip bears the same initials--B.H.G.C.--that Piccone's car sticker had.
