You'll need a strong stomach for this CSI as a fighter hopped up on steroids rips the arm off an FBI agent and then uses a piece of glass to pull out his own bicep, which he leaves on the ground. We get a first row seat for these activities, plus the autopsy. Can we all just say “ew”.
ReplyDeleteLangston and Catherine arrive at the scene of the murder where a witness is telling the cops that the perpetrator was a guy built like a red hulk. Langston is wearing much more practical clothing this time around, which is good, because the scene of the crime, a gas station bathroom, isn't a pretty site. Langston notices that there a bunch of detectives at the scene and that's when Brass breaks the news that the victim was Agent Hatford of the FBI.
They determine that Hatford was basically ripped apart and killed, and then Langston finds the bicep on the floor. At this point, I was very glad I wasn't eating anything. During the autopsy, they find that Hatford doesn't have any fingerprints. Weird? Not according to his two fellow agents, Emma and Miles. Apparently they are all undercover trying to bust a prostitution ring and it's common for undercover FBI agents to remove their fingerprints.
The agents take Nick and Riley to their headquarters and provide them with their surveillance tapes. While they're there, Nick recognizes one of the girls on the wall as a Jane Doe who was murdered a few weeks ago.
The surveillance tapes show that Hatford was last interrogating a guy named Vinnie. Unfortunately, they don't have Vinnie's last name, but they do have his bicep. It shows signs of infection, which is why he probably pulled it out, and a very specific steroid cocktail. The steroid cocktail leads them to the former head of a steroid ring who they busted months ago. The guy isn't feeling very cooperative until Miles explains that under the RICO statute they can keep him in a federal penitentiary for 20 years because of his drug use while in prison. It's a very impressive display of knowledge by Miles—even the steroid dealer is impressed and gives up the name.
Vinnie turns out to be an extreme fighter who is supposed to be fighting that very day. Unlikely with a missing bicep, I think, but Nick does find him hooked up to an IV at the auditorium. Vinnie laughs at Nick's outfit and gun claiming that Nick's gun isn't loaded. Vinnie runs into the ring and grabs on of the cop's guns. Still claiming that the guns aren't real, he shoots himself in the head.
Just as the DNA results for Hatford are coming back from the FBI, Brass is called to a new murder scene. This time the victim is Emma, who Miles claims was undercover as a prostitute. Miles vanishes just as Brass gets a call from Wendy. The FBI have never heard of Agent Hartford. He's a fake.
They quickly discover that none of three are agents. Emma's fingerprints lead them to a halfway house where they were all occupants. Miles is still there huddled in a room. Langston diagnoses him as having a fantasy-based personality and advises Brass to go along with Miles' undercover at a halfway house story. It works until they leave the halfway house and someone shoots at them. Brass kills the shooter, but he's less than happy with Miles, and he'd definitely done playing his games.
Riley is trying to process the “evidence” Miles gathered, including a series of guns used, supposedly, in crimes. The only problem is that they can't crack Miles' code, so they don't know which gun goes with which crime. Langston manages to talk a despondent Miles into cracking the code for them. This leads them to the gun that killed the Jane Doe. A swab of the gun gives them DNA which matches Vinnie's doctor. A guy who is wanted by Interpol. They arrest him and shut down the prostitution ring.
As a parting gift, Langston gives the delusional Miles a copy of “Don Quixote” to read. Miles has already read it and he knows it doesn't have a happy ending for Don Quixote. Langston points out that they didn't have anti-depressants in that fictional world.
This was one gory CSI. Between a man being ripped apart and random bits of muscle lying around, I was ready for some anti-nauseants. Yuck. What did you think? How's Langston fitting in with the team? Did you buy the fake FBI agents? Leave your TwoCents below.
