CSI: Crime Scene Investigation

Shark!

Shark!

Shark! Shark! Shark! Shark!

No, guys, there's a shark!

There's a shark in the water!

Drops, don't...

You guys beat the Coast Guard here.

This is my first shark call out.

You? What do you think?

The victim's name is Desiree McQuire.

She's 28. She's a cocktail waitress

here at the Golden Nugget.

Today was her day off.

Little jumpy, David?

Booby-trapped bodies, a shark in a swimming pool.

I'm a little jumpy, yeah.

How we gonna get it out of there,

so we can get her out of there?

I think I can answer that.

You see Jacques Cousteau over there?

He's the aquatic veterinarian.

Okay, well, maybe he can share with us

how a shark got into this pool.

Excuse me!

Dr. Holloway.

Catherine Willows. Nice to meet you.

You, too.

How soon can we get the shark out of here?

I need to get my victim out of the pool.

Well, just give us a few minutes to pull it out.

Saltwater tiger shark

in a freshwater pool is a lethal combination.

Shark population worldwide is in decline

without crazy stuff like this.

All right, guys, let's go.

Let's see if we can save her.

Higher, higher. I don't know what to tell you.

Shark got tired of entertaining the guests

and busted out of the tank.

Well, Conrad, it's 120 degrees out here and we're pulling

a young dead woman out of the pool.

That's it, that's all I got for you right now.

Hey, sorry, I'm late. I had an appointment.

I heard it over the squawk. What's going on?

You kidding me?!

I got enough problems

in the casino.

Now I got people going out in body bags?

Besides me, who's in charge here?

CSI Willows.

This is Nick Stokes.

Willows?

You're Sam's little girl, right?

No, I'm a big girl, telling you to step behind the tape

before I have you arrested.

Just like your old man.

Always got his way, one way or the other.

You should discuss this someplace else.

I got it, Nicky.

Mr. Boozell,

we're here to investigate.

This is an active crime scene.

I wouldn't even let the sheriff past that tape,

so consider this conversation a luxury.

Let us do our job, and then you can go back doing yours.

Sam's little girl.

So that's Earnest Boozell, huh?

The "Booze"?

Biggest shark in Vegas.

So, all the sharks around *****

Most from Eastern waters,

off the Keys, Montauk, Costa Rica.

They arrive via truck, in water tanks.

They're humanely transported.

I put them in the aquarium, help them survive the shock.

Now they're in show business.

Well, I guess that's one way to make a living.

How many tiger sharks do you have in your tank currently?

Well, we try to keep it to three or four.

Any more than that and they start to turn on each other.

Let's put it this way,

it's a very challenging little ecosystem.

All right, well, I'm gonna ask the obvious.

Is there a tiger shark that's missing from this tank?

Well, Mr. Boozell wants you to know that,

no, all tiger sharks are accounted for.

He also wants you to know that this aquarium right here

is built with eight inches of Plexiglas

and uses a completely different plumbing system

than the pool.

He also wants you to know

that if you don't take his word for it,

you can just suit up and see for yourself.

I do count four tiger sharks in the tank.

Just like it says in the manifest there. Four.

Thank you, Dr. Holloway.

Hey, CSIs, tick-tock.

Your time is my money.

Still here?

How's my day club? Up and running yet?

If you want me

to break down the financials for you,

I'll be glad to do it.

I'll do it, anyway.

My night club makes

three to five million on a sold-out weekend.

The day club, H2O, does seven to ten million.

Not to mention the 20 mil that they drop inside.

One minute you're flush,

the next you're bust.

Spoken just like a true mogul's daughter.

What made you become a cop?

I happen to love my job,

and could you please leave my father out of this?

Well, I love my job, too, and I got to get back to it.

The manifests don't lie.

It's clear that the shark in the pool did not come from my tank.

Well, it had to come from somewhere.

Well, maybe it checked in last night, VIP.

No, VIS... Very Important Shark.

He checked in, took a dip in the pool this morning,

had a bite to eat.

Now he's on the hook for murder.

All right, you're right, sir.

Your manifest did check out, but we're far from done.

Now we need access to your surveillance.

All of it.

Thank you.

Thank you!

Wait, no, no, no, no.

Pool's closed, ladies.

Let's just go across the street to Macklin's.

We're losing sun.

Last of the lookiloos?

Yeah, yeah.

Now it sounds like everybody's

going to the pool across the street.

Well, I just came from the Eye in the Sky.

I had security run the outdoor cameras

leading up to the time of the attack.

There are no signs of anyone dropping a shark into the pool.

But the cameras inside the casino

are a lot better than out here.

Half of this pool is covered in a blind spot.

Yeah, well, maybe somebody knew that, you know?

Maybe it's an inside job.

This is pretty easy access.

Back door leading from the house right to the... pool.

I got to say, it's a great place to get high.

Yeah, not a bad place to smuggle in a shark, either.

Hey, there.

Hey.

Welcome back.

So how was Spokane?

It was your niece, wasn't it?

It was Portland.

It was my sister.

And it was good.

Oh, Catherine.

I swear to God, all she does is buzz me all day.

I wanted to pick up

where we left off.

Okay.

Dinner?

I can't, I'm really busy.

But can we definitely talk later?

Sure, yeah, sure.

Oh, Catherine again.

Uh, I got to go,

but we'll talk later?

Okay.

Hey, Catherine, hello.

Hey, yeah...

I thought I heard you coming.

Back on the rails.

Steady, thanks to you.

Permission to come aboard.

Permission granted, Captain.

This our girl?

Desiree McQuire, 28.

Arm's missing.

Got a hunch where it went,

but that is the Aquatic Vet's purview, not mine.

C.O.D. exsanguination?

Seems obvious.

Well, a shark tooth.

Not a drop of blood on it.

Clean as a whistle.

No blood on the puncture.

Tells me the tissue

lacks vital response, which means

there was no blood flowing through the tissue

when she was bitten.

According to David's report, she bled out in the pool.

Well, then, blood had to be flowing.

How can both things be true?

Been a while, Drops.

That's your ganja, man. And that's enough

to put you right back in a ten-by-eight cell.

Let me guess.
