CSI Files
Captain
Synopsis:
At an upscale New York apartment, a poker game between four men goes south when one of the guys is caught cheating. The other three kick him out after beating him severely. Several minutes, a knock on the door interrupts the preparation for the next game, and one of the men, Joel Ivey, goes to the door to look through the peephole. He sees the barrel of a shotgun the instant before it goes off, killing him immediately. When Mac, Stella and Flack arrive at the scene, the other men, Mike and Eddie, tell them about the guy who cheated, Kelly, and assume he must have been the one who killed Joel. Mac follows a blood trail to the garbage chute, and he dispatches Lindsay to search through the gigantic dumpster. Flack doesn't have any luck with Joel's neighbors, but Lindsay finds a jacket and a shotgun in the dumpster.
Danny joins Dr. Hawkes in Strawberry Fields where the body of weather girl Tara Stansfield, lies prone. Hawkes judges by the lividity that she's been dead at least eight hours, but Danny is more exact: he notices her coat is damp and recalls a brief rainstorm the night before, approximately ten hours ago. There are no signs of a struggle or robbery, save for a gash on her head that Hawkes finds glass in. At the morgue, Dr. Hammerback tells Hawkes that the blow to the head didn't kill Tara; she drowned. Hawkes notes that it doesn't appear that she was moved and there was no water near her--how could she have drowned? Hammerback also sends skin from under Tara's nails to DNA.
In the lab, Lindsay tells Stella that the shotgun was fired recently, confirming it's the murder weapon and she also points out that the jacket has GSR on it. Stella traces a cigar Kelly was smoking to a fancy cigar shop, where she and Flack get the reluctant owner to tell them that Kelly is a regular customer, and that he participates in nightly poker games at the shop. Danny and Hawkes pay a visit to the channel 8 studios where Tara worked and talk to her cameraman, Leonard, who tells them he and Tara went their separate ways after working on a pothole story. Danny finds an unspooled videotape and takes it to Adam Ross in the AV lab, who respools and repairs it and plays it for Danny. The tape reveals Tara having sex with a man, who Danny recognizes as Ethan Fallon, the producer at the TV station. He confronts Fallon who claims he didn't know about the tape. Fallon has scratches on his arms, but he says they were from a sexual encounter with Tara.
