CSI: Crime Scene Investigation

You may believe

that you have to die

before the Judgment comes.

But I say the fire

is not around the corner.

The fire is not awaiting.

The fire is not an option

The fire has already come,

as we mortals drink,

gamble and fornicate our ways through this world.

Death to hell's bells thundering twelve.

The clock of damnations has already struck midnight.

We're cooked, done.

Stick a fork in the ass of the human race

and turn us over on Satan's spits.

Because we are not going to hell

Surely as we stand in Las Vegas, Nevada...

I say, we are in hell,

now.

Why parking in the alley two blocks from the crime scene ?

You know, sanitation is flushing out the sewer line.

We don't want to block their trucks.

What we've got here ?

Hey, guy.

Hey.

We've got a male DB.

Call it in. You've got it, Mitch ?

I'll tape the scene.

The man was shot execution-style.

22 in the back of the head.

Woman was shot as well, bound and gagged.

I guess the next door complained about the noise,

manager finally called the police. Unis found this.

I don't see any luggage.

Wedding rings still on the fingers.

That rules out robbery, but not infidelity.

One gets to watch the other one die ?

Maybe someone was trying to teach them a lesson.

Did you guys happen to see the Fitzgerald's thermometer on your way over ?

Oh yeah, 109, hot as hell.

Anything under 110 is manageable.

Above that, crime rate goes way up.

Sounds like it's getting hotter.

Well, there's no wallet or I.D. on this one either.

This looks like a wet spot.

Semen.

There's no indication she was re-dressed.

It doesn't look like sexual assault.

So... middle class couple...

takes a walk on the wild side, checks in to this dump for...

some fine dining and romance.

Somebody breaks in, kills the man, and tortures the woman.

For what ?

Maybe it's a drug thing.

Well, wouldn't be the first time

some nice folks from Henderson came east of Fremont to score.

Did you find any drug residue or paraphernalia ?

Not yet.

Maybe tox'll find it in them.

We have one too many bibles.

I don't think they helped.

So you didn't hear or see anything suspicious ?

This job you kidding me ?

That's all I see and all I hear.

Is that the register ?

Give it to me, give it to me.

Room 106.

Paid for the week,cash in advance, signed 'em in myself.

We got a problem.

What's the problem ?

Your handwriting sucks.

What the hell does this say ?

Oh, that.

That's the name here and that's, that's a, well, that's an A.

and the license plate...

that's an n and... oh... that's a V.

That's Nevada.

You think ?

Green bloat stage.

He's been here at least 18 hours.

Do you ever wonder why ants don't crawl up the nose, eat the brains ?

I would. Protein.

Ants are scavengers; they tend to stay on the surface.

You think dead skin tastes better than brains ?

Well, they will go for brains late in decomp, after all the skin is gone.

Do ants have taste buds ?

Ronnie...

I'm going to have to limit you to 20 questions per case.

- Really ? - Nineteen.

Hey, Sara.

Hey... Jim.

So... enjoying the sunshine ?

Not really.

D.B. is a derelict.

I'm kind of surprised to see you investigating this.

Oh, I'm not working this.

I'm working the double homicide over at the Rancho Center Motel.

We're just doing a neighborhood sweep for suspects.

You're new. I'm Jim Brass.

- Yeah. Ronnie Lake. - Right.

Ronnie Lake.

Like Veronica.

You know, the actress ?

Sullivan's travels ?

I think that's my dad's favorite movie.

Right.

203-charlie, control.

We have a few hookers who used the motel.

They're willing to talk.

Yeah, 203-charlie, I'm on my way.

Got to run.

Ok.

Bye.

So I got a hit off of the print on the motel room's do not disturb sign.

Drug dealer with priors for assault, nice.

Yes, well, don't get too excited because I got another hit off of the telephone

Pedophile.

and I got one off of a dresser, rapist,

and another one off of the bed frame

a prostitute, a pimp, and another prostitute.

Is that it ?

For felonies, yes. You want misdemeanors, too ?

So the blood on the shirt belongs to your victims.

The high velocity spatter on the front is a mixture of both

and the blood drops on the left sleeve appear to solely belong to the woman.

Probably cast-off from the beating.

Now, the pattern on the sleeve has a straight line on the outside,

and then a matching band of spatter on the inside.

So the killer rolled up his sleeves ?

He had a lot of work to do.

Speaking of which... the wet spot.

The sex stain was a male female combo, both unknown,

but the female shared alleles at all loci with both of the victims.

It's their daughter.

The parents weren't that old.

The girl would be a teenager at most.

So the killer caps mom and dad, rapes the girl, and takes her with him.

If you've got a missing kid, I've got a pedophile.

Alistair Rhodes.

Busted in august '94 for child molestation.

That's pre-codis, so there's no DNA on file to match.

Alistair Rhodes.

I remember this guy.

He was a lounge singer, called himself three miles of bad.

It was all over the news.

Well, according to the sheet, he served five years and made parole.

A registered sex offender.

We know where he lives.

You think those are your fingers itching to pick up the spike ?

Your hands injecting your veins ?

Satan finds mischief still in idle hands.

Alistair Rhodes.

Most people around here just call me reverend.

Hey, why don't you guys go super-size those ?

So, reverend, I hear that confession is good for the soul.

You have anything to tell me ?

The man you're looking for no longer exists.

If you'll excuse me, I have some chores to do.

Wait here.

You ever been to the Rancho Center Motel ?

Plenty of times.

With hookers, addicts, drug dealers, pimps, wife beaters, runaways.

I save people.

You ever save these two ?

You know them, don't you ?

There's nothing I can tell you.

These people have a daughter, and she's missing.

And due to the fact that you're a convicted sex offender that means

that you better come up with a lot more than these corny priestly homilies

and you better come up with them fast.

I don't answer to you.

I want to talk to my lawyer.

That's a good idea because you're under arrest.

Yo, Rambar, I have some documents to...

piece of junk.

Where's rambar ?

Where all state employees go when they fail repeatedly.

FBI lab ?

Sucking down taxpayer dollars in Quantico as we speak.

Me, I like to think I'm broadening my horizons.

Yeah, along with your pay grade.

Oh, happy coincidence indeed, sir.

What you got here ?

Somebody needs to switch to decaf.

In there somewhere is a nevada plate number and a name.

Can you dig it out ?

I could try.

The plate number is something, something, something, d, seven, something, something.

Okay, well, it's a fairly new model.

The four letter,

three number configuration has only been standard a couple years.

Well... it's a start.

Well,can you cross-reference

these records against the characters in the vics' last name.

It's m, a, blank, blank, blank, I, blank, blank.

Now that's a good start.

Alvin and Girlie Macalino.

Let's do it.

This makes what, the third power outage since summer ?

Fourth, actually.
