CSI: NY

Hey, what are you doing?

You want everyone to think you're a tourist?

Come on We don't have much time

They're picking us up in like 20 minutes

Oh, sorry

Oh, we have to get a picture

Come on Come on Come on

Okay

I hope you saved the receipt to that sweatshirt

Do you want a piece of gum?

Oh, they're here

Okay

There you go

Looks like a straight-up robbery-homicide

ID'ing him might be another story

No witnesses, no wallet no cell phone, no jewelry

I have a theory about these "It's the Big Apple" shirts

There's a direct correlation between the number of miles

One lives away from the city

And the probability that they'd actually wear it

Wherever he's from

I don't think this is the "Welcome to New York" he had in mind

That storm that blew in was just the beginning

Weatherman says there's more on the way

Anything that didn't get soggy?

Very little

Looks like he fought with his attacker

I don't see any defensive wounds from the blade

Almost as if he wasn't expecting it

Well, it's hard to miss a knife coming right at you

There's a surgical incision here on his throat, consistent

With some type of thyroid surgery

As well as evidence of cataracts being removed from his cornea

I used to see this occasionally when I performed an autopsy

Mac, check for pigmentation of his fingertips

Got several dark stripes along the length of the nail

Melanonychia striata

A result of chemotherapy

Chemotherapy and the surgical incision near the neck

Suggest thyroid cancer add cataracts

Both are symptoms of past exposure to high levels of radiation

And it looks like there's acrylic dental work

Which confirms he's not from this country

Professional guess?

There's a good chance our vic is from the Ukraine

Eastern Europe

Chernobyl, 1986

Explains the riation

Puts him a long way from home

Looks like my Big Apple shirt theory holds up

Let's hope the evidence does

When I was a kid, I bugged the heck out of my mother

To buy me one of those stupid shirts

Eventually, she caved in

That's a great story, Danny

Well, I'm not finished, wise guy

See, that shirt wasn't so popular at PS 21 in Staten Island

So the first day I wore it, got in two fights

First one, i won that one, yeah Second one, I'd say was a draw

Got detention, never wore that shirt again

So what, you think this was the same guys?

It's kind of what I'm thinking

Looks like I got some kind of trace here

I'm perplexed over here

Looks like coffee

Yeah, well, whatever it is

The spill pattern should have left a stain on the sweatshirt as well

But there's nothing there

Just cuts off at the waistband of his jeans and boxers

This looks brand-new

Maybe he spilled the coffee and then changed his shirt

You can buy one of these things,almost anywhere

Like in an airport

This is a sticker from a salt shaker

Most airlines use them in first class

Oh I'm more of a coach guy

Pretzels, nuts Salt's included

This guy doesn't strike me as first class material

Well, he didn't have to be

Secondary transfer

He could have picked this up

Walking through first class when he exited the plane

And I can't imagine that these cling to fabric

For very long so this must have been recent

Danny, I bet this guy just entered the country

May be a long shot,but we could get an ID from a passenger manifest

I'll call Flack

Great Have him start with all flights

That arrived from Eastern Europe within the last 24 hours

If our vic went through Customs he had to go by security cameras

And see if anybody's reported a relative missing

Also, check any hotels that didn't get a cancellation call

- Is that it? - Yeah

- You sure? - I got it

Mac? Hey

The knife I pulled from our vic's chest is used for pruning plants and flowers

Danny found fibers on the hilt same as those I found in the wound

I identified them as plum blossom

Okay, so where do we find plum blossoms in the dead of winter in New York, Sid?

Canal Street

I did a little research

They're all over Chinatown this time of year

Used for decoration in celebration of Chinese New Year

"Happy New Year" in Chinese

- Year of the Ox - Oh, yeah

And i think i have a pretty good idea who the knife belongs to

The UV reactive metal, that Sid found in our victim's knuckle

Was a broken piece of a lip ring

It's possible, our vic punched his attacker in the mouth

Causing the ring to break off and become embedded in his knuckle

Now, normally, because there was very little blood,

It would have been difficult to get

A usableprofile of the person who wore the ring, but

Fortunately for us

Piercings especially new ones are often rejected by the body

White blood cells

Rush to the area of the piercing to fight off the foreign object

And as you know, those germ fighters are the ones that carry DNA

Which enabled me to get a usable profile of the person who wore the ring

You two are quite the tag team

Oh, yeah

Sammy Chen, career criminal

Now we find him

They took their last three collars together

Both these morons just finished a one-to-three bid for robbery

Now they're working 9:00-to-5:00s at Tso's Market

Minimum wage labor, huh? Yeah, I know

It's a condition of their parole

Dan, 11 o'clock

NYPD Put the knife down Excuse me

Get out of the way Get out of the way

Put the knife down

Drop the knife

Drop the knife now

Get back in the house, kid

Let me out

I can't breathe in here

Hello?

I'm on the phone here

Stay down Show me your hands

Hey

You good?

Yeah, I'm fine

The suit ain't doing so hot though

I'll go grab the car, swing by and pick you up

All right Let me out

Oh, yeah, and just so you know, I stink

Hello?

Shut up

You messed up my favorite suit

So, I'll give you the 49 bucks to go buy another one

I have something that belongs to you

It has your DNA on it

That fancy little lip ring is gonna buy you life, Sammy boy

Life for what?

A robbery?

How about murder?

Murder?

Yep, unless he made a miraculous recovery at the morgue

He looks pretty dead to me

That wasn't us

The pruning knife in his chest

Is exactly the same as the one you dropped in front of the store

That and the fact that your lip ring was embedded in his knuckle

Sounds like a pretty solid case to me

"We didn't do it" isn't gonna cut it, Sammy

So, unless you give us something else

We're gonna run with the evidence we have

And you can go back to your cell

Well, I like our chances at trial

Okay, wait

Look you have to believe me

We didn't kill that guy

We were only gonna rob him

No, Sammy held the knife to his throat and I took his wallet

He's got rubles, Russian credit cards He's got nothing

Go Go

We didn't even get anything

I threw the wallet on top of an awning around the corner

Then what? He stabbed himself in the chest after you guys ran away?

No, when we took off, he was alive with this knife in his hand

Right where she said it would be

Hey, what's up?

I don't know, all right Russian driver's license

Adrik Fedoruk

Good luck trying to make heads or tails of that

Yeah, it's never easy

Why couldn't this be in the dry half of the wallet?

I take that back

Maybe it could be that easy

Looks like a meeting was arranged

I got a day, time, place

Looks like Whitford

No way we'll make it there through rush hour traffic

I'll call Mac

Deputy Inspector Whitford?

Hey, pleasant coincidence

I'm not sure it is

Are you waiting for a man named Adrik Fedoruk?

Yeah, u showing off your exceptional detective skills?
