CSI: NY

? ?

? Take me to the home, kick boots ?

(horn honking, trolley bell dinging)

? A dinosaur, he paint the monster red

Damn! Take it easy, cop!

Why you so agro?

Sorry, I'm not from around here.

No wallet, and I found a tag on his backpack.

Ran the name through NYSPIN, got a hit to his address.

His name's Ethan Grohl,

19 years old,

lives on the Brooklyn side.

Requested bridge surveillance footage.

Might get us a glimpse of the killer.

- Who found him? - Passing biker.

Cause of death,

exsanguination,

result of a deep abdominal Cause of dstab wound.

Asymmetrical tissue damage

suggests a serrated blade.

Looks like he took

a pretty stiff shot to the nose as well.

Yeah.

Could've left him unconscious long enough for bleed out.

Well, from the look of things,

I'm guessing that didn't take too long.

Also,

seeing some contusions

across his right knuckles.

There was definitely a struggle.

But did Ethan know his attacker

or was it a stranger?

Mac?

You think these are fake?

It's too early to tell.

Well, if they're real,

what the hell was this guy doing

with pictures of a dead girl in his backpack?

Maybe his death has something to do with hers.

Either way, it looks like one homicide

may have just become two.

Oh.

God, I thought we'd never get through dinner.

You didn't enjoy me

rattling on about my work?

Of course I did.

I just couldn't stop thinking about dessert.

Wait. Wait.

What? Did you hear that?

All I can hear

is my heart beating. What?

No, I'm serious.

I think there's someone

in the apartment.

NYPD.

Show me your hands.

Oh, my God.

Mom,

it's me.

Hey, Mrs. Danville. I thought you said

she was gonna be at a party?

I thought you were at a party, Ellie.

Hello? It's at Sammy's house,

three floors down.

We just came up to get some more soda.

I see that. Who's we?

Jordan, Mom.

Mom,

Jordan.

I'd introduce you to the surfer dude

with the hairy chest,

but I have no idea who he is.

Hey, Sid, what do you got?

Oh, Mac.

Are you familiar with the words

of Heraclitus of Ephesus?

I'm not sure I got that memo.

Well, he was an ancient Greek philosopher

who once said, "The eyes

are more accurate witnesses than the ears."

And in the case of Ethan Grohl here,

he may actually have been right.

This is a disposable contact lens.

I found it tangled in Mr. Grohl's hair.

So naturally, I went looking for its match.

And that's when I saw...

take a look... these.

Look at the screen.

Some kind of surgical scarring?

Radial keretotomy, to be exact.

It's been largely supplanted by Lasik,

but it is still used for the treatment

of astigmatism,

and these scars are relatively recent.

Means Ethan would've likely had

- no need for contact lenses. - Right.

And this one could actually belong to our killer.

Good eye, Sid.

Oh, my God,

that's Mary.

I'm sorry, Mr. and Mrs. Portico,

but your address was on the envelope

containing these photos.

Is she...

Are you telling us that Mary is dead?

Based on what we've seen,

I'm afraid it's a possibility.

: Who did that to her?

We've just begun our investigation.

Why would someone send those photos to her parents?

It clearly wasn't for ransom.

For some reason,

they wanted the Porticos to know their daughter was dead.

I understand from the missing persons report

that you had an argument with Mary a couple of weeks ago?

Yes, but we told the officers it was just the usual, you know?

Help with the dishes.

Pick up your dirty clothes.

Stop spending so much time online.

We all went to bed mad,

and when we woke up the next morning,

she... she was gone.

She's only 15.

Were there any girls that Mary was

particularly close to?

Boys? Anyone who

might have been a confidant?

She's shy.

She doesn't have

a lot of close friends.

What about enemies? No.

She just wanted to fit in.

Do you recognize this young man?

His name is Ethan Grohl.

No.

I never heard her mention him, either.

You think he had something to do with this?

We're looking into it.

I checked Ethan's Grohl's place.

There was no signs of a struggle or murder.

- What about unidentified DOA's? - I searched

the rolls for New York and surrounding states.

No one matched her description.

Mary didn't have

- a cell phone? - She did.

She lost it.

I told her the next one was gonna be on her dime.

God, why didn't I

just get her a new one?

Well, she did have an ATM card.

We got it for Mary for her 14th birthday.

We thought that it would teach her responsibility.

Why, have you found something?

The bank records pulled

by missing persons indicate that Mary

withdrew all $700 from her account

the day she went missing.

But that's all the money she'd saved up from babysitting.

Are you suggesting that she ran away?

That she had a plan, she wanted to get away from us?

I'm not suggesting anything, Mr. Portico,

but sadly, what was

being handled as a runaway missing persons case

is now being investigated

as a homicide missing persons case.

I want to know

what happened to my daughter, Detective,

and I want the person...

: who took her away from us to pay.

You have my word they will.

There's no tougher job in the world.
