Lieutenant Horatio Caine joins Mack Taylor in New York to look for Henry Darius, who killed three nurses back to New York City including keeping a promise to little boy.

The scene open with two girls and a young man all taking too many drugs and having what is called a farm party also known as a pharmaceutical party. The kids all take too many drugs to see how long the fun will last.

Henry Darius arrives with Alexa Endecott to hopefully get to the money. Alexa is surprised to find someone home.

Henry Darius asks to be excused to go upstairs to Alexa's room where the safe is kept and the only way to open it is by putting your hand on it so it will take a picture of your hand to make sure that the combination is right.


When the safe is opened Henry is surprised to find the money he was expecting to be there is suddenly gone. He asks Alexa a question. She answers the question and then is shot. After Henry shoots Alexa upstairs he then comes downstairs and asks everybody to get down on the ground. The two girls and the boy comply and then they are all shot.

Mack, Stella, Horatio, and Detective Flack are all looking at the three dead bodies. Stella asks if they are sure Henry Darius committed this latest crime. Mack tells them to carefully look at the position of the three bodies. He then asks some if it looks familiar. Stella tells them it reminds her of the three nurses Darius shot.

Stella then asks if anyone of the three kids is Alexa Endecott. She hears something drip and then looks up towards the stairs and notices a pool of blood beginning to collect. The three detectives then had upstairs where they find Alexa's body lying in the open safe that is now empty. Stella notices the lock is biometric.
Mack figures out why Alexa was brought to New York. Since the safe is biometricly locked, the only way to open it was to use Alexa's blood vessels to get the money out of the safe.


Mack recalls something Henry Darius said to him in Miami that he wanted to make things right. Mac begins to worry the three detectives.

Stella called the rest of the team to help gather more evidence. After collecting the red fiber found inside the vault Mack divides up the team into their appropriate places. Lindsay doesn't like this. She tells Mack she's ready to work and help gather evidence of the crime scene. Mac wants her at trace so she can devote full attention to that specific evidence.


Back at the lab Lindsay is busy examining the evidence found on the gate and inside the door of the safe. Danny knocks on the door and asks "Montana" what she's got. Lindsay is rather irritated that she wasn't allowed to stay at the crime scene and help collect evidence there. Danny tells her Mack was trying to protect her from seeing the dead bodies.

In the interrogation room Mack questions Sarah Endecott on how her ates got into her home when she wasn't there. He also asks her how her skirt got to warn. Sarah tells Mack she gave her ates the keys to her home and then she hid in the pantry and witnessed Henry Darius shoot the three bodies. Then Sarah went back to trying to forget what she saw, thinking that it was only a dream.

Dr. Hawkes analyzes the prescription bottles and finds that Alexa was taking a sleep aid and Tom was taking another drug. Dr. Feldstein is the Endecott family doctor. Mack repeats the name again to make sure he heard it right. He realizes that the family doctor testified at Henry Darius's competency hearing just after killing three nurses in midtown Manhattan.
Mack interviews the psychiatrist about Alexa and his conversation with Henry Darius. Mack also tries to find out exactly what the psychiatrist told Henry about some of his famous clients. Mack learns that Henry Darius was told about the $3 million Alexa would get on her 21st birthday.

They find Henry Darius about to jump from the building. Mack finds a card with a number written on the back of it. Mack believes that that number 2470 is the exact same train Henry Darius is taking. Mack decides to take that train along and find out why Darius killed those three women.

Stella and Horatio track down a man named Albert who got a gun about a year ago that we see used in the murder of Lydia Johnson. Albert tells them that he didn't kill Lydia Johnson. He then shows the detectives a picture of a man who sold him the piece.


On the train Henry Darius tells Mack that he can't control his killings. He hoped Mack would tell him why he killed those three women.

Mack is back of the lab with Danny. Danny shows Mack that the Endecott's had lots of hand prints in the system so that anyone of the Endecott's could have taken the money. Danny uses the biometric lock analyzer to find out how someone got to the money before Henry and Alexa arrived. The analyzer shows that Sarah Endecott, Alexa's sister, got to the money first.

Lindsay tells Mack that the red fiber found inside the vault came from a carrier like the backpack. It also indicated that someone else was also at the Endecott home.

Now Stella and Mack are at the lab tracking down Sarah through the computer. They find her shopping at Tiffany's spending a mere $8,000. Now Mack and Stella are curious to know where the rest of the money is.


Now Mack is busy interviewing Sarah and her father about the missing money. Sarah tells Mack that the psychiatrist secretary wanted half. Mack believes that the reason Sarah didn't tell this information earlier was because her father knew she was trouble. Sarah's father even told her she could just take the money.


Stella analyzes Alexa's blood and finds out that Tom Endecott is the father of Henry Darius. She also finds out that Henry and Sarah are brother and sister.
Henry Darius heads to the Endecott home this time to kill Sarah. The detectives arrive in time to catch Darius.

Mecca offers to take Horatio to LaGuardia Airport so he can fly back to Miami. He tells Mack that everything was arranged.

At the jail Mack visits Henry Darius. Henry thanks Mack for helping him. Mack tells Darius he caught him and put him in jail.

Horatio then called Adam and tells them that he got the killer and that he isn't going anywhere.



A piece is sometimes referred to as a weapon.
