CSI: NY

Yeah!

Better wipe that look off your face

Or I'll grind it to hamburger.

Stick it in your eye!

Who says you can't get blood from a stone?

Bigger question: Is it human?

Unfortunately, the answer is yes.

Well, what we got here is a good old-fashioned brooklyn

Labor dispute.

Union guys are pissed at the scabs.

There's been ten arrests

At this construction site since the strike broke out.

I wonder if this concrete burial

Has something to do with that.

Let's take a closer look to find out.

There's definitely someone buried under this concrete, mac.

Judging from the radar image, it looks like our vic

Was laid lengthwise under this slab.

Also looks like his arms

Are in a defensive position.

This wasn't just a body dump.

Our vic was buried alive.

¶ out here in the fields ¶

¶ I fight for my meals ¶

¶ I get my back into my living ¶

¶ yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. ¶

Thank you so much.

You got it.

I spoke with the site foreman.

The replacement workers have been getting threats

From the strike guys for weeks.

Lost wages and benefits are ample motive for murder.

We need to question every employee

Connected to this strike.

Any leads on the concrete burial? Foreman says

That he locked the security gate when he left,

And when he came back this morning, it was open.

The security chain

On the gate was busted

And there are tire treads

Coming into the site that don't match any

Of the construction vehicles.

Pull footage from traffic cameras

And nearby businesses.

Might help narrow down your analysis

Of the tread pattern,

Get us to a make and model of a vehicle

Sooner rather than later.

A man takes a big risk crossing a picket line.

And this concrete tomb just might be a message.

Cases like this bring the term "john doe" full circle.

It was first used as a legal placeholder

During property disputes.

Seeing this, I can't help but wonder

Exactly what type of dispute led to our john doe's demise.

Looks like he took a beating.

Well, there's bruising on the left side of his face,

His eyes are bruised,

A burn mark on his skin.

The official c.O.D. Looks like asphyxia,

Judging from the petechial hemorrhaging in the eyes

And the fact that our vic's airways

Were blocked with concrete.

Getting close to an I.D.? Well,

We're hoping to get prints as soon as we can clear a hand.

According to the ultrasound images,

Our vic is approximately six-foot-two

And about 200 pounds.

I've given that much to missing persons.

Good.

Let's also compare it to the employee records

From the construction site.

Someone out there knows who he is.

¶ ¶

What do you got for me, linds?

Well, it's true what they say.

A chain is only as strong

As its weakest link.

In this case...

2,300 pounds of pressure per square inch, which means

That we are looking for a vehicle with at least

350 horsepower.

So our perp couldn't have been driving anything

Smaller than an suv.

Here's the weird thing: The tire treads I found--

They were a match

To snakehead 245/55/r18.

That's a brand of tires that's usually used on a sports coupe.

And a sports coupe doesn't have

Enough horsepower to break through that gate.

Now, I also found...

...Traces of black paint

On the chain, so I ran it through gc/Ms.

I found a variety of pigments and polymers,

So you'd think car paint, right?

Except there's no trace of a solvent.

Well, that sounds more like powder coating.

It's commonly used on metal, like push bars.

(engine revving, chains clanging loudly, (engine revving, chains clanging loudly,

So we're looking for a larger vehicle, any color,

With a black push bar.

Doesn't narrow it down much. No, and the surveillance cameras

Were no help.

None of them had a clear angle

On the entrance gate. Here's where we stand.

We have evidence for a larger vehicle

And a small sports coupe.

The sports coupe could have driven in

Behind the larger vehicle, covering its tracks.

Which would mean we're looking for two vehicles.

And possibly two perps.

Hey, what's up?

It's christmastime in hollis, queens.

I'm serious.

The trace found under our vic's fingernails...

...Is christmastime in hollis, queens,

Also known as a blend between marijuana

And salvia divinorum.

Salvia divinorum?

It's an organic enhancer for marijuana.

It's kind of like a coffee sweetener but for weed.

So we have a john doe buried in concrete

With hyped-up marijuana under his fingernails.

At least tell me we got a hit on his prints.

No can do. I ran it through afis and got nada.

also, none of the workers

Associated with the construction site

Have been reported missing. However,

I did get a match

On the marijuana blend.

I ran it through the interagency

Spectral library search

And I got a match

On a dea sample

From a sky high treatment center in jersey.

Okay, now, several of the patients

Consistently bought both marijuana

And salvia, but one in particular fits

The description of our john doe- colby jenkins.

Put this in your pipe and smoke it.

I got an address.

What up?

Nypd!

Open the door!

Police! Open up!

All clear.

Nobody's home.

Yeah, but by the looks of it, we're not the first visitors.

No, we're not.

Maybe this is where our perps jumped him.

Jumped who?

Who the hell are you?

Me?

Oh, no, I'm sorry,

The, uh, guy behind you there.

Yeah,

You!

Yeah, I'm clean colby jenkins.

And this is my humble abode.

I-I just stepped out

To get some toilet paper.

And, uh, where is the toilet paper?

Oh, damn it. Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Stay right there, cheech.

We need to talk to you.

Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

What are you doing? Oh, don't worry.

I got plenty for you guys.

We're not worried.

Put it away.

But it's all legal because of my illness.

What illness? Brain cancer.

That's what it says on my medical card.

All right, look,

If you're colby jenkins...

Who's that?

Because we found your particular meds

Under his nails.

Whoa, yo, sometimes I go out

At night, I run into people looking to party.

They want to dip into that prescription.

Hey, buddy.

That man was murdered. Okay?

If you know who he is,

You need to tell us.

I th... I think I recognize this guy.

You remember his name?

Do you remember the last time you saw him?

No, I don't.

But I remember watching tv with him.

I think the muppet babies is hilarious.

Muppet babies?

I gotta get my cartoon fix.

But, uh, the gladiator- he-he wasn't into it.

The gladiator? Yeah.

That's what they call him. I think.

Right.
