CSI: Crime Scene Investigation

A wild party ensues at the home of Chief Duke Rittle. As the party continues, little Sasha Rittle looks out her window and sees several people. She looks at the clock. The time is 12:20. The scene fades to around 3:45 am, and Sasha bursts awake to hear two semi-automatic 9 MM rounds going off. The door slowly opens and a mid-30s man emerges from the shadow.

The CSIs arrive on the scene to find Chief Duke Rittle in his underwear with an apple in his mouth and one 9 MM in the back of the head on the dining room table. Grissom determines only one way to describe this as: "Kill the pig."

Brass tells Grissom and Catherine that there is no sign of the wife or daughter and that they were most likely abducted because Rittle's 9 MM and his 2001 Silver Cadillac DTS are gone.

Lockwood tells Grissom and Catherine that the security guard, late-40s, logged the Cadillac as left around 5:14 am, 1/2 hour after Rittle was killed, but the killer concealed himself with Rittle's sunglasses and baseball cap.

Brass finds the Cadillac, and seconds after they find Jason Doyle, mid-30s, dead in the trunk with one of the chief's hats, Brass gets a cell phone call from the crime lab receptionist saying that Florida Highway Patrol called and reported several motorists seeing Sasha walking along an access road in Miami-Dade County. Grissom assigns Catherine and Warrick to take a chopper down to process Sasha.

Roadblocks are set everywhere along an access road in Miami. Horatio Caine walks along a desert road. About 1 1/2 miles down, he sees Sasha Rittle, just sitting on a log.

Catherine and Warrick's chopper lands on the access road, where they meet Horatio and process Sasha, only to find that she has a 9 MM cartridge in her hand. Sasha says that the killer was shooting at her when she ran off and picked it up.

Calleigh Duquesne, the southern ballistics expert says that the cartridge did not come from the chief's 9 MM, but a rare gun in Vegas, but found in Miami a lot, and the team concludes that this killer wasn't just fleeing Vegas, he was returning home to Miami.

Grissom interrogates one of the party guests. Tiffany Langer, late-30s, tells Grissom and Nick that her date, Adam van der Welk, suddenly disappeared on her after he sent her home with a judge and his wife. She also says that although he was rich, he wore very acrid cologne that smelled, as she put it, "sickly sweet".

Catherine, Warrick, Horatio, and Calleigh are investigating the drop-off area when Warrick finds a sedative, concluding that the mother was incapacitated. Catherine finds a light tire tread, making it an easy stop. Horatio concludes that he stopped to use the bathroom and finds a puddle of urine in the trees. Horatio's cell phone rings. The call is from Speedle, the trace expert, also out in the field. The voice is silent, but H replies: "Whaddaya mean the FBI?!"

At the Miami shore club, Speedle approaches Horatio and tells him the devastating news that this killing is a serial killing in which the wife is already dead by now, and introducing himself at the same time. He also reveals that there is a link to Rittle and Miami. The FBI Agent Sackheim reluctantly reveals that all of the victims stayed at the shore club in the last year, including Rittle and his wife this past winter.

Back in Vegas, Robbins and Grissom are reading through encyclopedias going over certain diseases that emit odor. Eventually, Robbins mentions "diabetic ketoacidosis", where excess sugar is exposed through the pores and makes the subject smell fruity.

At a canal, Eric Delko prepares to go underwater to look for the car when tire treads are found there. They tow the car out, open the door and find Mina Rittle, the chief's wife, dead. Her mouth and sexual parts are taped up with electrical tape, suggesting rape.

In the autopsy theater, Alexx Woods, Horatio, and Catherine are examining the body, and Alexx tells them that there was yellow sappy liquid found in her ears, eyes, and between her toes, and Alexx says, with sarcasm: "You guys got a sick one."

At a night club in Downtown Miami, a man is pouring honey, which is what they confirmed the liquid to be. "Yum," Catherine says. "This is where he got the idea!!!"

Delko comes out from the canal to find an impatient Tim Speedle pacing on the dock. Delko shows Speed the water pistol used by Adam van der Welk to try and kill Sasha and to kill Mina.

Catherine interviews a night club doorman, who tells her that a limo driver came in 2 days ago and bought $500 worth of the purest honey ever made for a high roller (you guessed it)... from Vegas.

On the freeway, Tim Speedle pulls a limo driver over. Horatio and Catherine look around the limo and Horatio turns the AC to max and it smells fruity, confirming that either the killer was in the limo, or that the driver is the killer.

Grissom tells Catherine that the medicine used for this complex diabetes is "Novalin Insulin". Horatio and Catherine look through AFIS to find that Gordon Daimler, the limo driver, was one of the purchasers, and Horatio confirms that he was listed under a false address, and that the ROs are Sissy and Dylan Corwin, the couple he was picking up when Speed pulled him over. They have him.

Horatio and the others search the Corwins' home and find a blood trail leading to the garage, where Calleigh finds that Mina was shot in that room. Speed shows Catherine and Horatio that their million dollar yacht has been stolen, and that's where Gordon is killing them right now.

Speed issues an APB for the Corwin's boat. They find it at a nearby dock. The infrared scanner confirms that one of them is dying, but one is alive. Sackheim commands Sharpshooter Detweiler to kill the remaining Corwin, thinking it's Gordon. In the end Horatio ends up threatening him to not fire. The sniper takes his finger off the trigger when they realize that Gordon left them to die and hijacked their plane. Horatio and Catherine go into the yacht to find Sissy dead and Dylan seriously hurt.

Speedle calls the FAA and grounds the jet at Miami International Airport. Horatio and Catherine go in with their guns drawn to find Gordon sipping a glass of champagne and insisting that Dylan Corwin lent him the plane to fly to Monaco. But when Catherine tells him that Dylan is alive, he says "Rich people don't go to jail." Horatio replies "You're not rich, Gordon." Gordon Daimler is arrested and Warrick and Catherine fly back to Vegas.
