CSI: NY

Open to a NY Art Showing. There is an artist's work on display of naked and half naked women, posing seductively. There is a mosaic however that is done rather uniquely, a ton of different photos of the same subject combined together to form one picture. Stella is there, as Frankie, the sculptor from a previous episode. Frankie hugs Stella from behind, rather warmly. She admits that when she thought they were going to a gallery show, they would go to one in a gallery, not someone's loft. The artist comes behind them of the mosaic. His name is James Golden. He points out the benefactor, Carlo Francetti. Carlo walks out with his date, and they strip off tops and are kissing. They are heavily making out, and are in an entwined position. When an arrow shoots the two of them. Moments later we see Mac on the scene with Hawkes, and Stella joining. He, Carlo, is alive; however, his date is dead. Mac claims the sniper wasn't lucky; he waited for that specific kill shot.

Hawkes is working on the body while Flack is with Mac saying he interviewed half and the guys are working on others. The victim is Mirabella. Flack thinks this is her first event as no one seems to know her. Mac says they need to figure out who the intended victim was. Flack leaves to find Carlo after he gets out of surgery. Mac walks over to Hawkes who is showing Mac how the arrow entered, and Mac figures out and points to a roof nearby where the shooter had to have been. He comments how "a bow isn't something you can hide in your coat so the killer probably ditched it." Hawkes leaves and Stella comes in. she hands him some goggles and Stella fires up a saw to cut the wall behind the dead girl.

Lindsay and Danny are on the scene of a dead music promoter whose head is conveniently covered in glue. The owner of the store the victim is dead in front of is more upset that he can't open his store than because the kid is dead. He says perhaps now "they (the promoters) will not hang around in front of his store." At the corpse, Lindsay is surprised how unglamorous a music promoters life is, and Danny says it isn't at all, he knows the life apparently he got involved with it once upon a time ago. Danny finds a bloody razor blade on the body. He must've fought back. Linds notices some of the posters are torn, and perhaps it's a turf war over posting rights. Danny notes that there are gluey footprints that lead to a nearby club (right next door actually). Danny heads over, and leaves her there as Lindsay shakes her head. Inside, we have a group (Rough Sects) playing a Dollyrots song. Their manager stops them from playing, and asks Danny what he is doing in there. Danny introduces himself and sees his shoe which is covered in the glue. After asking him about it and telling him about the dead guy we find out the manager did see him, but he just thought the guy was sleeping off a rough night. (With glue on his head? I mean really). He goes back to the band and one of the girls looks really sad.

Hawkes is on the roof the arrow was shot from and looks around. He sees a giant vet, opens it and looks down. Down below he finds the bow. He is lowered down with a harness and he picks it up. He heads back up.

Mac is in the autopsy room with Sid who helped him take out the arrow (and wood) just now). Danny and Lindsay are heading in. Danny says a horribly funny pun, and Lindsay teases him saying Mac, who was heading out and laughed, didn't actually find it funny, but was only humoring Danny. Then we see Mac in the lab with the arrow. He checks for prints and finds some. After scanning it, he finds no match.

In the autopsy room with Danny and Lindsay Sid cuts off dried glue around their vic's face. The fatal blow was directly on the throat. Sid sent some blood sample to DNA. They open his mouth and in his throat is a bullet after slashing his neck.

Hawkes is with Mac and tells him the bow is really serious. Mac says how the arrow is not bad either. The arrow was spinning like a drill. Since there is no database for bows and arrows, Hawkes is worried they wont be able to ID the archer. But Mac tells him of the two partials. The first print belongs to Carlo, while the second is unknown. Hawkes hopes perhaps it's from the killer. But Mac comments how there is blood on the trajectory feathers. The DNA report says it's from a jaguar. Their killer is a hunter.

Stella is in the lab, and Flack comes in telling her of his interview experience with Carlo, who apparently had a lot of girlfriends. He lived, drank, and breathed women. Stella shows him the autopsy report and the pubic combing. Apparently there were two foreign pubic samples there: one male one female. They figure its one of his past girlfriends. So Stella is looking through his black book which is alphabetized by girl's first name. And there is like stalking info of all of them. The girl he saw before the party was Sienna.

Mac finds Sienna in the park who was just taking a jog. They inform her of the secondary transfer. She says she didn't know who Mirabella is. And then she claims before yesterday she didn't even know who Carlo was. Stella informs her how much he knew of her. She doesn't seem phased but admits he's right. Apparently Carlo challenged her and they raced, he lost, but then they had sex. Stella is like what is up with you. Stella brings out a hypothesis, but Sienna shoots it down claiming that yesterday was all about sex for the two of them. She didn't care about him emotionally. They get her fingerprints after she proclaims she is innocent.

Danny and Lindsay are in the lab. Danny walks up to her telling her the bullet in the mouth was not functional as it had no gunpowder. Lindsay says she tested the red powder. It was mace. There was also vegetable starch on the back of his jacket. So Danny suggests maybe the vic was slammed against the wall. So they go to the posters thinking maybe there was more left there. They look to find trace on the layer of glue as the way they hang posters there is a layer above and below the poster. Lindsay finds a smear in the glue. He fumes it up, and underneath that poster is another with a handprint on it. But the handprint is too smeared. The week alibis were above that. And Gideon's posters were torn.

Danny finds the kid who was posting it. He walks up to him and immediately the kid says he's got a posting permit. Even after Danny rips off his headpiece for his phone, the kid says he has a posting permit. Clearly he doesn't realize Danny isn't there for that. The kid has a cut on his hand, and it's from a razor blade. Danny asks if they fought and we see a flash of him covering his posters. Danny asks if he doesn't think that's unethical, but the kid scoffs and says how there is no rules with posting music posters. That's the business. Danny gets a DNA sample from him.

Mac is in the firing range, and fires a bow. Lindsay enters and says how good he is. He has asked her over so he can see if she can fire it as well. He wants to see if someone who has had no experience with a bow can use that particular one. And Lindsay can. Lindsay excited she made the shot asks for another. Mac hands it to her laughing, saying how she's already proven the point. She gleefully shoots again.

In the lab, Danny is with the glue mask the vic had. So is Lindsay, she is working on the other half. Danny finds a guitar pick and Lindsay finds a button. She walks over with her button. Danny says he got a guitar pick from a bass, Linds thinks it might have a band name on it. So they try to see if they can pull it off, its work off. They use some laser technology and take a picture. They bring it up on screen, and see the guitar pick says Runyon's.

Stella is checking out prints. Mac comes in saying how no experience is needed. But sienna didn't do it, her prints don't match. So they are out of suspects says Mac, but Stella reminds him they have an entire black book of them, they just don't know where to start. Hawkes comes in and corrects her saying that they do. He shows a picture of Carlo's watch. It's cracked and bloody. The blood is male. But it's not Carlo's. the blood was inoculated for Typhoid fever. Tying with the jaguar blood, Peru stands out. the hospital confirms Carlo's blood tested positive for the inoculation. his last trip was last week. He was traveling with a Rick Smith.

Mac and Stella interview Smith who claims Carlo hired him as a guide. Carlo never used a gun so Smith gave him the bow. Stella sees a picture of a woman with them, and apparently its Smith's wife. Smith says Carlo has no hunting knowledge. Apparently he wanted adventure. Smith says that his wife is in Colorado because they are taking a break from each other. But the picture was all smiles and that was taken last week. Stella beats around the bush, and Smith admits yes she cheated, with him. Mac confronts about the blood on the watch. He said he punched him. But he says he is a hunter not a criminal. He says that after the trip he never touched it, Carlo kept it. Mac asks to prove it.

Danny and Lindsay are at Runyon's saying about the pick being on the body. Lindsay notes a guitar and thinks of the wound on the neck. They would match perfectly with guitar strings. He says he sells and repairs them. Danny asks if any came in today he said all of them, so they take a look. Lindsay picks the two, and Runyon is shocked she's taken them. Danny also takes two. Runyon is still complaining about the loss of business. Danny tells him he should hope there's nothing on there connecting him with the crime.

As they are loading the guitars. The Rough sects are coming out of the club and the manager is there telling them to do. One of the girls asks for him not to talk to them like they are children. Danny overhears the conversation. Danny calls over Gus, the manager. He walks over and says he has to get going. But Danny says he's missing a button. Danny tells him he found the button. Gus complains about harassment as he looks at Lindsay. Danny shows the button and says how it was found on the dead body. But he says he wasn't involved. Lindsay notes this, and makes Danny laugh.

Lindsay is in the lab working on the guitars and Mac is in there helping. She tells him he doesn't need to, but he smiles and says he's returning the favor from before. He comments how the prints on one guitar are inconsistent with how you hold a bass to play. He positions the guitar and sees how the only way the prints would get that way is if they were holding it upside down and slamming it on something (like the vic). So they ask to swab for epithilials. Mac leaves her to his work, and Danny enters asking what that was all about. Danny says the blood from the vic's jacket was female. So it rules out Runyon and Gus. Lindsay takes a swab, and notes the name on the guitar. It's one of the Rough Sects.

Hawkes and Mac are talking and walking saying how Rick is not their guy. They walk in on Stella who is on the phone and saying she can't talk now. They inform her of the news. It means Carlo was shot with his own bow and arrow. So it had to have been someone who had access to the house, and probably someone at the parry. They look at her but she says her prints won't match. They need to find where the bow and arrow was to figure out who of the 200 guests would have taken it.

So they grab vapor detectors since the bow and arrow had trace of an acetone based cleaner. They bring the vapor detectors to the house, and check everywhere for acetone vapor. Stella is back at the photo mosaic from before. She quotes Frankie as Mac comes in and says how it's a quote Frankie likes to say and Mac smirks and looks at her. Hawkes found where the arrow was taken from. but the vapor detector picks up a second something that was left by the killer. Mac notes a large handprint. So they have three questions: what's the mystery substance, who left the print, and how did someone leave a party with a bow and arrow and no one noticed.

Stella is at the lab checking out the images of the mosaic. She finds images one by one and checks them out. she takes some pieces up and finds a face. Slowly the face forms, its Sienna. Mac is testing the substance found there. Hawkes comes in and tells Mac the prints on the end table match the arrow. The bad news is still no name. but Mac thinks what he found will help.

Back with the rough sects. They are playing and there are a bunch of suits there. Danny and Lindsay walk in, and Gus tries to stop them but Danny pushes past him and stops the music. The girls ask what's going on and Gus replies just the NYPD ruining their careers. Lindsay is in front of the one girl who has a guitar strap with bullets in it. Danny grabs the guitar and Lindsay scans the print. Her left hand as a cut on it. A brunette walked up to protect the girl with the cut. They notice she has a rash on her face. They get her prints. And it's a positive match. She used Stephanie's guitar to kill Gideon. She admits it. As they came out of the club, at 3. the suits go to leave, and he tries to stop them. The girl is in tears. She says how the guy was covering their posters. Gus stopped him. The brunette was tearing them down. How he was trying to stop him. The two of them just attack ed him and she just lost it. The bullet fell in by accident. Gus put the glue there as he was choking. They get the one girl up and Gus.

Stella is working on other images from the mosaic bodies- we see three mosaics. Mac comes in, and we see that the images end up being Mirabella, Sienna and Mrs. Smith. They note how the whole thing was about Mirabella. Stella has James, the artist, with Mac in interrogation. Stella asks James how Carlo tricked him then says how he was good at that, how he played the role: he jogged for Sienna, hunted a jaguar for Cassie (Mrs. Smith), and for Mirabella he threw a party. But James says how Carlo made it seem as if it was for him. Stella shows the one mosaic (the one of Mirabella) and says how in it he doesn't reveal identity, but Carlo knew exactly who she was. He says how he was a stranger and he just left, Mirabella was his trophy. No one knew him so he was able to grab the bow and arrow and escape. Stella says how she was more than just a model. He claims before Mirabella he was a photographer and then after he had her model he was an artist. He claims no one was there for his art, but Stella tells him that she was.

We are at a jazz club, Cozy's. Lindsay is there. Danny walks in and sees Lindsay she grins as he comes. She ordered him beer. He asks her what's up, and she says there's something here he'd like to see. He looks at her as he asks jazz music? But then we hear Mac's voice and Danny turns around. Mac plays some guitar with the jazz group and Danny looks over. Apparently Mac plays guitar on the weekends. Lindsay figured it out. And Danny was impressed. She smirks at him and he just nods and smiles too. Mac looks really happy up there.
