CSI: Vegas

Previously on "CSI: Vegas..."

I'm giving you the promotion

- to day shift supervisor. - Have you told him?

I don't think I ever heard you call Jeanette "Mum" before.

I can't get her to return my calls.

Trey told her I had him arrested,

and she's just pissed.

This how you treat family? Jeanette!

What's this? You're using again. Go home.

What are you planning to do when you find your mom's dealer?

I don't know yet.

I was trying to leave you out of it until I do.

You didn't leave Allie out of it.

Just take a week and let me know

if I have a place in your life.

It's Jeanette. Sorry you missed me.

Hey, Mom, I know what's going on.

If you're running product for these guys,

I can't help you.

Josh, come inside!

Don't you get him riled up.

Oh, hey. All right.

Grandpa, seriously? You should get some for yourself.

You don't have to drink this crap.

I'm kidding, bud.

I'd arm wrestle you for it.

Eh... Grab your notebook.

Dying words time.

The last thing when we left off last night, you said,

"Don't marry a woman who paints her toenails."

I did?

Maybe you don't need to write down what I say

after I have my medicine, huh?

Hey. You okay?: Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah.

But this goes in there, all right?

Family. It's the most important thing.

Family first, always. Okay?

J-J-Jeanette!

Go on, Josh.

You don't need to see this.

Okay.

Hey.

You the one who's gonna take me home after?

Yeah, girl. Get in.

Go ahead, Josh.

You don't need to see this.

Come on. Hurry up.

Hey, be nice.

Where is this guy, anyways?

Right up here.

God, it's so freaking dark.

Why don't you just tell me when the package is coming...

No.

Please. Please.

You did this to yourself.

No, please!

No. Don't do this.

Please! No, no!

No, please. I didn't do anything!

No, please! No!

Send help! Send help right now!

Are we sure this is Josh's mom?

I've never met her, but you know

that picture he keeps in his wallet.Yeah.

So, uh, h-how'd he sound?

Uh, I've been calling him,

but his phone must be off.

Okay, take me through it.

Have you ID'd the second victim?

Not yet.

Janitorial staff came in a few minutes ago.

They don't recognize her.

She doesn't work here.

What is this place, anyway?

Slot machine repair.

The security is definitely lacking.

Only two cameras.

The killer... or killers...

Got away with the footage, but they tripped an alarm

on their way out at 3:32 a.m.

Killer or killers?

Well, Ms. Folsom

was stabbed.

The other vic was strangled.

Could be two guys.

Could be one guy who ran out of knives.

Or...

this one happened first.

And our guy realized that strangulation was no fun.

You can see how long it took.

She was a fighter.

I hate every part of this.

Except for this murder weapon right here.

Looks like shrink-wrap.

Kind of thick, like industrial grade.

Polyethylene is a miracle of modern science.

Sticky as hell.

Half the scene is gift wrapped for us.

Great for tracing prints.

I've got my entire shift coming in on early,

so we will test every inch. Something tells me

we got to hurry on this one, guys.

Listen, um...

I can keep calling Josh, but the way things are between us...

He might not be answering because it's me,

and I... I know. It's okay.

I'll be the one.

This is Folsom. Leave a message.

Hey, Josh.

It's Max.

Josh, I need to talk to you.

Josh.

Well, you should've built it bigger.

I'd move in.

You did so good.

Grandad did a lot.

He said you finished it yourself.

Come on.

You know, uh...

I bet next time, you can build an even better one.

I mean, you know, after.

We have to move again?

Don't look at me like that, Josh.

You know how hard this is.

Blame your dad, running off with a warrant on him.

Blame cancer.

Damn bills are gonna wipe us out.

Where are we gonna go?

I don't know.

I think you'll need to go

with your cousins awhile till I figure it out.

Hey.

Hey.

I will figure it out.

There's nothing I want more

than to be with you.

I'm so sorry.

She tried to stop.

Josh?

She tried to stop him.

That's his skin under her nails.

Are you able to identify this woman that she was with?

No, I've never seen her.

Um, Max is running her prints and DNA.

We should rush the toxicology for both,

'cause I wouldn't be surprised

if there was a, uh...

a link.

You're exhausted.

Maybe you should try and sleep. D-Do you want a lift home?

No, I don't. I'm not going home.

You can't keep me off of this.

You can't.Joshua.

I do not have a choice.

You cannot investigate

the death of a family member.

I don't care about the rules!

I know you don't care about the rules.

Of course you can't. How could you right now?

But times like these are exactly why we have rules.

Fact is, we don't have much else.

No!

Are those slot machines?

Yes.

It's a repair warehouse.

You have any idea why your mother

would've been there?

No. I don't.

If you want us to find out

who did this, you have to tell me.

I haven't talked to my mom much lately.

She talks to Trey more than me.

We're gonna find the people who did this.

We'll see.

Josh. I am so sorry.

Look, I, uh... I can't.

Poor guy.

Looks like he's been hit by a truck.

Looks more like he's gonna run someone over

with a truck.

We've all seen good people do bad things

when they reach the end of their rope.

You think he'd look for the people

who did this? GILL: If it were me,

and someone hurt my mom,

none of you would ever find their body.

Ever.

All right, Allie. This is your case. Your shift.

Why is everybody standing around?

Divide and conquer?

No.

We pair up and conquer.

Can you work with Dr. Hudson

to expedite tox screens and full blood works

on both vics?

Looking for? Morphine metabolites.

Folsom's mum had a problem with heroin.

It's usually cut with sodium bicarbonate

or powdered milk.
