CSI NY "Corporate Warriors"
A festival in Little Italy opens this latest episode. While attendees are walking around enjoying themselves, a man suddenly stumbles out into the open. He appears to be ill and then dies.
When Mac and Stella arrive, they realize that processing the scene is about to be a bit harder than usual. With all the people miling about, any evidence is going to be in trace amounts if at all.
Mac gets a phone call about another crime and leaves Stella to handle the processing herself. Since the caller was Lindsay, Mac knows she is going to need some supervision.
They find the decomposed body of a man who is sitting still as a statue on a park bench. Lindsay is not quite sure why the crime scene appears "off". Taylor says not to quote him, but sometimes "Not everything is connected" and pulls the head off the victim's body.
Danny and Stella find a sauce-stained handkerchief on their festival victim. Danny easily identifies what foods made which stain, but that hardly helps.
Hawkes and Don Flack go to what remains after a fire kills a small child. The signs point to arson. When the boy's mother and her ex-boyfriend show up, Hawkes gives them his card and says to call him anytime.
Once the couple leaves, Flack points out that he is generally the one who gives out his card. Hawkes comments that turf wars can get ugly. Flack calmly reminds Hawkes that a technician has work to do, and does not need the distraction of dealing with victim's families.
It takes Hawkes time, but he figures out that the ex-boyfriend started the fire with the aid of a potato chip bag. Grease seems to work rather well. Because the little boy was thought to be at school, the panicked rush to save his life came too late. Hawkes persuades the boyfriend to turn himself in.
The two prior victims worked at the same company. In a bizarre loyalty breakdown, the CEO got involved and committed one murder. Using a katana sword, the other victim was killed by the first employee.
