CSI: NY Episode 9.09 "Blood Out"
Here's some more about
9.09 "Blood Out":
~ Detective Lovato gets on the bus to head to work, and she sees a woman named Carmen sitting at the back of the bus. They recognize each other, but they're anything but friends. When a thug gets into a fight with a construction worker and pulls out a knife, Lovato announces that she's a police officer and arrests the man. When she looks back, Carmen is gone, and Lovato seems worried.
~ A gang member named Benny is tortured and killed, his body cut in half with a chainsaw. Lovato knows Benny from her time undercover. Back then she went by 'Anita', and she and Benny developed feelings for each other when she ingratiated herself with his gang.
~ Carmen was part of the gang as well, and they head to her apartment. She runs up the fire escape to the roof and tries to get away by jumping to the roof of the adjacent building--but she doesn't make it, falling to her death 15 stories below.
~ The team works with DEA Agent Hicks, who was Lovato's liaison when she worked the gang case. Carmen wasn't high up in the gang hierarchy, and they suspect she used Lovato's identity (as a cop) as a bargaining chip to get a promotion for herself. Benny became a target because he was close to Lovato in the past, but they still don't know who actually killed him.
~ Lovato talks to Flack a bit about her past, admitting that there was a point in her life where she could have fallen in with the wrong crowd, running from the cops instead of becoming one. Luckily, she ended up on the right path.
9.10 - "The Real McCoy"
I'm sure Rachel will stop by in a bit with additional details, but Christine is in this episode and part of it deals with Mac's day off of work.
And more about
9.10 "The Real McCoy":
~ Justin is the co-owner of a popular bar modeled after a 1920s Prohibition-era speakeasy. He's found dead next to a Christmas tree lot, neck impaled on a metal spike. There's evidence of an altercation.
~ The other co-owner of the bar, Eli, has been friends with Justin since they were kids. Justin liked to gamble and take risks, and they opened the bar together after Justin won his half of the start-up money in Atlantic City.
~ Mac has breakfast at Christine's cafe. He has a whole list of things to do on his day off, and Christine suggests that he should use the day off to
relax. Later, he's on the subway with a man named Charlie. They're the only two in the car, and they're there for a while. (I can't tell for sure, but it looks like the train
might break down.) They end up talking about themselves, and Charlie shares half of his lunch.
(Sorry I don't have more about 9.10, that's all I know for now.)
