CSI: Miami

Help !

Hotel landscaper found him.

Almost hit him with his weed wacker.

He hasn't been here long, Frank.

I've got uniforms canvassing for other witnesses.

Hello. Hi. Are you in charge here ?

As a matter of fact, I am.

Could the patrol cars park in the back ?

I don't want to upset the guests.

Oh, yeah, we'll jump right on that.

Who are you ?

Craig Seabourn, manager of the hotel.

So, Seabourn, do you know this man ?

Armando Diaz.

He's an employee here,

takes care of the pool.

And someone took care of him.

Not here.

I agree.

I think he was killed somewhere else and dumped here.

Told you.

No way is my place involved in this.

We're a five-star hotel.

How do you explain this ?

- Where did you find that ? - I found it on his body.

It's the key to the penthouse suite.

Or as we call it, the primary crime scene.

Mr. Seabourn, you are about to lose your five-star status.

Miami - Season 4 Episode 5 - Three-Way

Welcome to Hotel Graciana.

Thank you.

Hope you enjoy your visit.

Can we have a quote ?

I just want one comment.

Could you move to your left ?

No, no, camera left.

Just one comment.

I'm going to ask you one more time,

take that camera off my body.

The dead deserve better.

We're good to go.

Then go.

You still seeing her ?

No. It's...

She's very pretty, so I...

Could we just focus on the victim ?

Confirmation,

he wasn't killed here.

Head wounds are the second biggest bleeders

next to arterial cuts, and I don't see any blood.

Body's been moved. We're thinking Penthouse.

Yeah. I heard that on the news.

She didn't get it from me, okay ?

Yeah, right.

The victim really looks like he's been through the ringer.

Yeah.

Worst of it, looks like blunt force trauma to the head.

I'll know more at the post.

Lot of white fibers in his hair.

Maybe cotton ?

I don't know.

I bagged some of it for you.

H said he's a pool boy.

Probably from towels.

Question is, what's the pool boy doing in the penthouse suite ?

Yeah, let's head up there.

I got paged at court, I'm out a kit.

All right the backup's in the Hummer.

Oh, great.

We'll meet you in the lobby.

- Horatio ? - Yeah.

Dispatch says the Chief's looking for you.

Did you say the Chief ?

- He mention why ? - I have no idea,

but he wants to talk to you,

says he'll send a car for you.

I'll drive myself, Frank.

A case you were working on a few years ago--

the guy's up for parole. I need you to make a statement at his hearing.

And you took me off a crime scene for this, Chief ?

There have been rumblings about your team.

Rumblings ? How do you mean ?

I need an honest assessment of what these kids are up to.

Our solve rate is second to none.

But one of your CSIs

is an open leak to the media.

One's got money trouble,

one quit her job that she was trained to do,

and we're suffering for it.

So, it sounds like the brass is planning

to make a surprise visit.

Yeah, I heard it at breakfast.

It could happen any time in the next eight weeks.

They're gonna be looking at character and case-handling.

Chief, I am...

I am not concerned about the character of my team.

Given the, uh,

character issues,

you might want to do a dry test on a case.

Like maybe the dead pool boy at the hotel.

Let your team run this one on their own.

Shore up their protocols.

Somebody's really gunning for us, aren't they ?

I don't know who.

All I know is that they got to get the kinks out before the brass sweeps in,

does their own eval.

We'll be ready.

Who borrowed the backup kit last ?

I did.

There are no swabs, evidence bags,

and the maglight's dead.

Forgot to restock it. Sorry.

Gonna borrow some of yours.

Actually, I need those.

I know the feeling.

Could you at least leave me an extra pair of gloves ?

Yes. Yours don't fit me anyway.

We paid good money for the penthouse.

I'm sorry.

Well, you can't keep us out of our own room.

Actually, I can. It's a crime scene.

What ?

Any of you know, uh...

know this guy,

worked at the pool ?

That's Armando.

So, you know him ?

He oiled me.

I beg your pardon ?

Tanning oil.

The hotel has somebody who applies it at the pool.

He oiled all of us.

Just relax.

Just relax.

Relax.

Is that true ?

Yeah.

This must be some kind of mistake.

There isn't.

Armando's been murdered.

I was wondering if any of you ladies

could tell me how he got a key to your room ?

What ?

No.

Maybe he robbed us.

Maybe.

Will you excuse us for a second, please ?

I counted three wedding bands,

but there don't seem to be any husbands.

They're calling it "Wives' Weekend."

Sun, spa, but no sex.

We'll see about that.

Yeah, I knew that, Eric,

'cause, actually, I worked that case, too, so...

Good.

Got some blood.

Looks like this is where our vic bought it.

Or had a drink. That could be a Bloody Mary.

Well, Phenolphthalein will confirm that.

Even if it's blood, once it's dry,

there's no way to tell how recent it is.

The blood could be six weeks old.

Yeah, or six hours.

It's blood.

Something happened here.

Well, confrontations usually start

in the bedroom or the bathroom.

I'll take the bathroom.

I'll take one of the bedrooms.

I guess I'll start in here then.

Need some help ?

I think I've got it. Thanks.

There's cast-off on the ceiling with no

accompanying blood pool on the floor.

So, somebody cleaned the floor, and forgot the ceiling.

People only clean what's in their line of sight, eyes to knees.

Let's see what the crime light's gonna show.

- Will you get the lights ? - Yup.

Looks like a pint's worth of blood.

I wonder who cleaned it.

I know how they did it.

All the towels are gone.

"How" is the first step to "who."

Excuse me.

I'm with Miami-Dade P.D.

No Q-tips, no laundry bags.

That's all right. I just need to look in your cart.

Oh, si, si.

Dios mio.

Te juro, que no se dedonde vino esa sangre.

Esta bien, te creo.

Blood and hair--

looks like I got a twofer.

Redecorating your bathroom ?

I'm trying to confirm one is a murder scene, and I'm betting

that's my vic's blood on the end.

My ThermoCycler will let you know.

Great.

And you know I'm good for the rest.

Pleasure doing business with you.
