CSI Files
Captain
According to CSI Files sources, “Rush” opens on a film shoot. Two men are engaged in a tug-of-war over a gun in an industrial warehouse. During an extended struggle scene, gun shots are fired, the gun is pointed in one man’s face, both end up jumping from the third floor, to the second and ultimately to the ground. One of the men, 28-year old stunt man Rod Vickers, hops into a waiting yellow Corvette and peels out, only to be chased by the other man who runs full tilt while shooting at the vehicle as it speeds off. Vickers loses control of the Corvette and it crashes into a building. The trunk pops open, the driver’s door opens and Vickers slumps out, blood streaming down his face. The Corvette bursts into flames and the director yells, “Cut!”
As crew members tend to Vickers, insuring he emerged from the stunt unharmed, the director questions Vickers as to why he popped the trunk and ruined the shot. Vickers says he didn’t open it. It must have been open before they rolled.
Stunt crew members work to extinguish the flames from the car. One of them drops his fire extinguisher and steps away from the open trunk.
The body of movie star Brody Lassiter, 28, gorgeous even though mostly covered with CO2 from the extinguisher, is stuffed in the trunk.
Horatio and Detective Tripp question Vickers. Vickers was Lassiter’s stunt double. The scene that was being shot was too dangerous for Lassiter to do himself. Horatio complains that investigating will be difficult since the stunt crew sprayed the crime scene with CO2. Vickers responds that the CO2 is standard protocol for fires and his crew wasn’t covering anything. Vickers tells Horatio that he was in charge of the car and that he locked it up the night before, right after the dry run.
Horatio speaks with the film’s director. Lassiter wasn’t expected on the set that morning. His call time wasn’t until noon and he left the set the night before by 6:00 pm, in accordance with the many rules of his contract. The director says many people wanted Lassiter off the movie.
Horatio talks to Eddie Corbett, Lassiter’s assistant/bodyguard. Corbett and Lassiter grew up together. It’s now Corbett’s job to make sure Lassiter makes it to work each day. He had enemies.
After processing the stunt vehicle, Calleigh learns that Vickers was lying about not taking the car off the lot last night.
Delko brings Vickers in for interrogation. Vickers admits that he and Lassiter took the Corvette out partying the night before. Vickers loved going out with Lassiter because Lassiter was in rehab, stone sober, and a movie star who could get into any club in the city -- the perfect designated driver. According to Vickers, Lassiter snuck out of the White Sands rehab center, they went out and Vickers got wasted. At the end of the night, Lassiter drove back to the White Sands. Vickers was too drunk to drive home, so he passed out in the parking lot and Lassiter went inside the rehab center. Vickers woke up an hour before call time and drive straight to the set.
