CSI Files
Captain
Synopsis:
A man dressed in a superhero costume runs by Tyrell Mann, a football player just picked for the first-round draft for an NFL team, giving an interview to the news media outside his hotel. In a matter of hours, both "Superman" and Tyrell are dead. Mac and Stella work the Superman case; Flack shows them a credit card issued to one Matthew Palmer found near the body, and they discover clothes and glasses in a nearby phone booth. Matthew Palmer turns out not to be their victim, but a man who the victim saved. Palmer was being robbed at an ATM by a hoodlum with a knife attacked when the brave young man came by and attacked the robber. The robber ran away and Superman pursued him. In the morgue, Dr. Hammerback goes over the young man's body and discovers several bullets and knife points beneath his skin, but he tells Mac and Stella they're from old injuries. He send blood off to tox and continues to look for the COD.
Danny and Lindsay take Tyrell's case. The up-and-coming football player lies on his stomach in his hotel room in a pool of his own blood. The only visible injury is a puncture wound to his neck, so the CSIs begin to search his hotel room. Danny discovers several footballs, some not even inflated, and also finds a bloody football championship ring, while Lindsay scans the bed with the ALS and notices signs of sexual activity on it, along with a few letters and numbers in lipstick. Dr. Marty Pino has determined Tyrell was killed by an air embolism--when he was stabbed in the neck, air was pushed into his veins, leading to his heart and killing him. Danny recalls the deflated balls and wonders if Tyrell may have been killed by the device used to inflate them. Pino also points out writing in lipstick on Tyrell's chest that was beneath the blood, as well as an old injury to Tyrell's knee that should have kept him out of the NFL. Danny pays Rodney Pruitt, Tyrell's personal physician, who Danny suspects was giving Tyrell painkillers to help him play despite the injury. Rodney admits to being well compensated for the work he did for Tyrell, but insists he had no reason to kill his meal ticket--and friend.
Back at the lab, Hawkes has recovered some glass from the clothes in the phone booth and DNA lab tech is shocked when he identifies Krypton in the glass. Hawkes tells Mac and Stella that he's found evidence of both anti-psychotics and anti-depressants in Superman's blood stream, and a prescription written out for Oxy from the prescription pad of one Dr. Burr in the alley where Superman's body was found, leading the CSI's to the New York Psychiatric Home, where Burr works. Burr claims the prescription isn't in his handwriting, and he recognizes Superman right away--the man's name was Clark Kranen, and he was a resident at the home. Clark had a developmental disorder, and Burr leads the CSIs to his room, where they find a police scanner, a broken florescent light (the likely source of the Krypton-laced glass) and envelopes with Clark's name on them and money inside. Vern Dox, an orderly at the home, tells Mac he and Clark were friends, and he gave Clark one of his Karate trophies. He says Clark has a brother, Steve, who lives in town but only visits once a month. Several other patients inquire after Clark, and are saddened but unsurprised to learn he's dead.
