Smallpox, Yellow Fever, influenza. She

had the Bubonic Plague.

NEWBIE

What are you talking about, Pops?

VET

Long ago when several coffins were

excavated and scratches were found

inside, our ancestors, they realized

they’d been burying [CHUCKLES] folks

before their time. No kiddin’. Back

then, when the plagues hit, guys like

you and me, we couldn’t dig fast

enough.

NEWBIE

Come on.

VETSaved by the bell

think. Morticians would tie a string

to the hand of the dead person and take

the other end of the string and tie it

to a bell, aboveground. And

immediately after the, uh, burial, a

person from the mortuary would be

assigned the task to sit by the new

gravesite and listen for the bell to

ring. [CHUCKLES] That was called

graveyard shift

doesn’t mean what youthe.

SHERIFF BENSON

Thanks for coming. All my guys are on

that Cessna crash in Suffolk.

LINDSAY MONROE

The report said a little girl was

missing?

SHERIFF BENSON

Rose Duncan. That’s her in the middle.

We have alerts out. The rest of the

family’s inside. No signs of B&E.

Place doesn’t look tossed. Shaping up

like a murder/suicide. And just so you

know, the media’s gonna be all over

this.

CSI: NEW YORK - “Boo” - Eps. #406 - Page 3

DANNY MESSER

Yeah. Multiple homicide, it’s

expected.

SHERIFF BENSON

No. This one’s gonna be covered

differently.

DANNY MESSER

Why is that?

SHERIFF BENSON

Thirty-one years ago the former owner,

Bill Willens, shot himself in this

house. Two days later, his daughter

disappeared. Bill’s wife, Betty,

claims her husband was hearing voices.

He told people the house was possessed

by evil spirits.

LINDSAY MONROE

Just like “The Amityville Horror.”

SHERIFF BENSON

All I know is, the folks inside this

house were good people. For Gil Duncan

to shoot his family, commit suicide,

there’s gotta be an explanation other

than, ghosts made him do it.

LINDSAY MONROE

[INTO RECORDER] This is Detective

Monroe. It’s October 31

hours. [MUSIC IN] I’m at 1135 Ocean

Avenue, Amityville, New York. I have

two bodies in the hall, both male.

Believed to be the sons, Tommy and

Charley Duncan. Both are lying prone

in a north to south direction. Both

appear to have sustained single gunshot

wounds to the back.

CSI: NEW YORK - “Boo” - Eps. #406 - Page 4

LINDSAY MONROE (CONTINUED)

No apparent stippling, indicating they

were shot from medium or long range.

Gravitational blood drops indicate both

victims were running towards the door

when they were shot. Third victim,

female, believed to be Amy Duncan, age

35. Also received a single gunshot

wound to the back. No apparent

stippling. Final victim, believed to

be Gil Duncan, age 38. Shotgun, six

inches east of his left hand. Single

gunshot wound to the abdomen. Circular

bruise pattern [ZOOM IN TO ECS OF

BRUISE] can be seen around the wound.

Bulge on one end, consistent with the

weapon’s foresight, indicates a close

contact shot, also consistent with

suicide.

DANNY MESSER

All right, I’m out of step plates. I’m

gonna go grab some more, all right?

LINDSAY MONROE

Yeah.

Looks like quite a massacre.

DETECTIVE DON FLACK

Zombie flash mob? Yeah. I don’t get

it either. So Stella told me your

mysterious caller disappeared.

MAC TAYLOR

Haven’t got a call at 3:33 a.m. in over

DETECTIVE DON FLACK

Maybe your guy decided it was time to

stop stalking you.

Maybe he’s getting ready to take it to

the next level.

Hey. Meet John Doe. Wallet’s missing

and no one’s stepping forward to say

Witnesses say they saw him hit the deck

but they thought he was just

overacting.

STELLA BONASERA

Got the torn clothes, dirt, blood.

Blunt force trauma to the head.

[ZOOM INTO ECS OF BLOOD ON HEAD]

MAC TAYLOR

Nothing fake about that.

STELLA BONASERA

Medium velocity spatter indicates he

could have been hit here.

MAC TAYLOR

Blood trail?

STELLA BONASERA

I don’t know. We’ve tested thirty

stains so far, all fake.

MAC TAYLOR

So we don’t know if we’re looking at a

primary or a secondary crime scene.

STELLA BONASERA

All we have is our vic and 300 zombies

crammed into Midtown, vandalizing

stores, stalling traffic and scaring

tourists.

DETECTIVE DON FLACK

All for a laugh.

SHERIFF BENSON

I got my men doing a canvass of the

neighborhood, grid search of the yard.

But so far no evidence of any elderly

female intruder.

LINDSAY MONROE

Do you not believe me?

SHERIFF BENSON

All I’m saying is people come to town

and get caught up in the folklore.

LINDSAY MONROE

Do we look like we’re here buying

postcards?

DANNY MESSER

Sheriff, look, we got a lot of work to

do. If you and your men will just

secure the perimeter, that’ll be

greatly appreciated.

SHERIFF BENSON

Right.

DANNY MESSER

Thank you. [OFF LINDSAY’S

EXASPERATION] Lindsay, honey. Forget

about this guy. Okay. You saw the old

woman who grabbed you as she went down

that secret corridor.

CSI: NEW YORK - “Boo” - Eps. #406 - Page 10

LINDSAY MONROE

Right. Like she already knew where it

was. Danny, she said that she warned

the Duncans to stay out of the house,

that something was gonna happen. She

knows something. We should find her.

DANNY MESSER

All right. Well, she couldn’t have

gotten too far on foot. We’ll find her

soon enough.

LINDSAY MONROE

Hey, you know what? She scratched my

arm. If she left her DNA behind, we

might not have to wait that long.

Quite the ambience, Sid.

DR. SID HAMMERBACK

Hmm, Halloween is the one day of the

year we’re allowed, encouraged, to

celebrate the dead. For without death

one cannot appreciate life.

MAC TAYLOR

What about this one?

DR. SID HAMMERBACK

Uh, C.O.D. is subdural hematoma. Wound

like this often isn’t immediately

fatal. Your vic could have been--

CSI: NEW YORK - “Boo” - Eps. #406 - Page 11

DR. SID HAMMERBACK (CONTINUED)

--somewhat lucid and even walking or

stumbling for about fifteen minutes

post-impact.

STELLA BONASERA

Okay. So if he was transient after he

was hit, means that Midtown isn’t our

primary crime scene.

MAC TAYLOR

Any idea on a murder weapon?

DR. SID HAMMERBACK

Well, that’s tricky, Mac. Your vic

suffered blunt force trauma as well as

sharp force trauma. The sharp force

trauma wounds are approximately a half

inch wide and extend into the bone.

MAC TAYLOR

Looks like chopping wounds.

[REENACTMENT]

MUSIC IN/OUT

[BACK TO SCENE]

DR. SID HAMMERBACK

May be looking for an axe or a machete.

Even more interesting, is the blunt

force trauma. It was localized in the

parietal region of the skull.

MAC TAYLOR

Looks like a W or an M. Murder weapon

had raised lettering on it.

STELLA BONASERA

He could have been hit with two

different weapons.

MAC TAYLOR

Anything else?

CSI: NEW YORK - “Boo” - Eps. #406 - Page 12

DR. SID HAMMERBACK

Uh, found wood-like fibers under his

nails. Already sent them up to Trace.

And finally, for what I can’t explain,

body temp indicates your vic has been

dead for eight hours, even though

witness reports established he’s been

dead for three.

STELLA BONASERA

It means he died twice. That’s not

possible.

DR. SID HAMMERBACK

Well, I didn’t find any bite marks on

him or human brains in his stomach

contents. But, he was dead before he

was killed, which medically makes him a

zombie. Happy Halloween.

by one cricket bat. Any luck with

narrowing down primary crime scenes?

STELLA BONASERA

Yeah. I have a radius of origin. Now,

considering his injuries, our vic could

have kept walking for up to a half a

mile before collapsing.

MAC TAYLOR

I’ll get Flack working on a canvass.

If he can find where our vic was coming

from, maybe we can find our killer.

Who puts a secret passageway in their

own house?

DANNY MESSER

Probably from the Prohibition era? A

lot of these homes out here had ‘em

back then. Guessing Rose discovered

the room when the family moved in.

LINDSAY MONROE

Then when she saw her father go on a

rampage, she went in there to hide.

[GUNSHOT]

[BACK TO SCENE]

LINDSAY MONROE (CONTINUED)

You know, the only question I have is,

if Gil wanted to kill his whole family,

why not go after Rose? There’s no

bloody footprints. There’s no

indication that he went looking for

her. I mean, unless he knew she was

behind the wall and he shot her

deliberately.

DANNY MESSER

Well maybe Gil’s not our shooter. This

pad’s giving me a weak positive.

There’s only trace amounts of gunshot

residue. If he handled this gun, he’d

have GSR all over him.

LINDSAY MONROE

But what about the circular bruise

pattern on the wound? That’s

consistent with a close contact shot.

DANNY MESSER

I’m thinking the shot cup could a made

this mark.

LINDSAY MONROE

Well, that means our contact shot isn’t

a contact shot at all. Which means Gil

might not have shot himself.

DANNY MESSER

We gotta get this to Hawkes for

testing.

Yeah. Clothes Sid got from the vic.

Nothing unusual though. You know, it’s

covered in dirt, gravitational blood

drops on the shoe confirm the victim

was up and walking when he was hit.

STELLA BONASERA

Uh-huh.

ADAM ROSS

But, found this a little strange.

STELLA BONASERA

A diaper?

ADAM ROSS

Hmm. Our vic was wearing it. Tested

positive for urine.

STELLA BONASERA

Seemed a little young for incontinence

issues.

CSI: NEW YORK - “Boo” - Eps. #406 - Page 18

ADAM ROSS

Uh, could’ve been his costume or he

could’ve been drinking and just knew

how hard it was to find a bathroom in

Midtown Manhattan on any day, let alone

Halloween.

MAC TAYLOR

Tox came back totally clean. Our vic

wasn’t drinking. And the wood-like

substance that Sid found under his

fingernails turned out to be jute

coated with traces of a water-based

varnish.

STELLA BONASERA

Jute’s usually used in rope and rugs.

Where did the varnish come from?

MAC TAYLOR

A coffin. [MUSIC IN] Flack did a

little digging. He found out that two

cemetery groundskeepers reported a

zombie attack last night.

STELLA BONASERA

Half of Manhattan reported zombie

attacks last night.

MAC TAYLOR

Yeah, but this one was different.

[FLASHBACK]

MAC TAYLOR (V.O.) (CONTINUED)

Diggers reported they were filling a

grave when a man broke through a

coffin.

But not just any coffin. It was

biodegradable, made from jute. Very

easy to get out of.

CSI: NEW YORK - “Boo” - Eps. #406 - Page 19

STELLA BONASERA

Did you get an I.D. from the funeral

home?

MAC TAYLOR

Yeah. Vic’s name is Dexter Nevins, 35

years old, married to a Sophia Nevins.

We’re trying to find her now. Dexter

was an immigration attorney. His

funeral was yesterday afternoon, small

ceremony.

ADAM ROSS

Uh, he’s not saying what I think he’s

saying, is he?

MAC TAYLOR

So, what do we have that’ll [MUSIC OUT]

put us on the trail of our doll maker?

STELLA BONASERA

Found a photo of our vic torn up in the

doll’s head. Morley cigarettes, bottle

of Haitian rum, and three extremely

rare Haitian blue coffee beans.

ADAM ROSS

Well according to an Internet search,

all of these items right here are

traditional offerings to Baron Samedi,

voodoo god of the dead. Even creepier,

the hair on the doll’s head was a match

to Dexter Nevins.

MAC TAYLOR

This wasn’t some toy. This was made

specifically for Dexter.

STELLA BONASERA

Only voodoo didn’t kill him. A blow to

the head did.

MAC TAYLOR

Except there’s no reason to make a

voodoo doll other than to wish harm on

someone. Speaks to prior motive.

CSI: NEW YORK - “Boo” - Eps. #406 - Page 21

STELLA BONASERA

True.

ADAM ROSS

Uh, yeah, but wouldn’t we expect though

to find the doll with the killer and

not the victim?

MAC TAYLOR

Unless our killer decided to bury the

evidence with the body.

STELLA BONASERA

Only flaw to that perfect plan, when

your vic decides to come back to life.

MUSIC IN

MAC TAYLOR

I hate zombies.

STELLA BONASERA

I know. They spoil all the fun, don’t

they?

MAC TAYLOR

So, whoever made this doll, may have

used Dexter Nevins as the ultimate

sacrifice.

DR. SHELDON HAWKES (V.O.)

No prints. Looks like it was wiped

guard though. Chromatographic

LINDSAY MONROE

Small tears, sap. This belonged to our

shooter.

DANNY MESSER

That’s a latent blood stain, underneath

the dust, which means somebody tried to

cover this up awhile ago.

LINDSAY MONROE

Ah, I see that. There’s sweat all over

this shirt.

DANNY MESSER

Yeah, well it’s like a sauna up here.

It’s starting to sound like Dexter

buried himself alive, wanted to fake

his own death.

STELLA BONASERA

You thinking it was a life insurance

scam?

MAC TAYLOR

Probably. Explains the diaper.

STELLA BONASERA

Huh. But why plan for a bathroom break

and not the fact that you’re gonna run

out of oxygen forty minutes after being

buried? And then why have an open

casket funeral when you’re trying to

fake your own death?

MAC TAYLOR

Witnesses, in case the insurance

company balked.

No hits in CODIS. But when I ran the

old woman’s DNA against the blood that

we found in the attic floor, I found

shared alleles of all sixteen loci.

DANNY MESSER

So the blood in the attic was from her

daughter?

LINDSAY MONROE

Or mother. And the NMR analysis dated

the blood back to thirty years ago.

DANNY MESSER

Which is when the Willens family lived

in that house.

LINDSAY MONROE

Yeah. So what does the old lady and

Danny, this is the former owner of the

really weird, but I think that’s the

DANNY MESSER

Betty Willens? Well, what she be doing

in her old house?

LINDSAY MONROE

I don’t know. But I’m gonna age this,

see if I’m right. That’s her.

DANNY MESSER

I don’t get it. What would make Betty

Willens return to that house after 30

years?

DR. SHELDON HAWKES

I might be able to answer that.

DANNY MESSER

What’ve you got?

DR. SHELDON HAWKES

Rose’s monster. DNA from the sweaty

shirt you found in the attic came back

as Betty Willens’ son, Henry. His DNA

was in the system. And take a look at

this tattoo.

[THEY LOOK AT A PHOTOGRAPH OF A MAN’S

DR. SHELDON HAWKES

This guy’s been in and out of prison

his entire life. Currently on parole

after serving a nickel for armed

robbery. His P.O. got him a job as an

animal control officer for the county.

DANNY MESSER

That could explain the dog hair we

found on the vic’s clothing. Let’s

bring this guy in.

DR. SHELDON HAWKES

No, not so fast. Gotta find him first.

Reached out to his boss. Turns out

Henry’s been MIA with his truck since

yesterday.

DANNY MESSER

Right.

DR. SHELDON HAWKES

His last dispatch reported he picked up

several dogs and never made it to the

pound. Called him at his house, he

doesn’t answer his phone. Same with

his mother, Betty. Got an alarm out on

both of ‘em.

DANNY MESSER

Maybe his truck has one of those antitheft

tracking s--.

DR. SHELDON HAWKES

[OVERLAPPING] Oh, no, no, come on. I

already asked.

LINDSAY MONROE

You know what? The dogs might.

DANNY MESSER

What?

CSI: NEW YORK - “Boo” - Eps. #406 - Page 32

LINDSAY MONROE

Sid said that the hairs he found came

back to a very expensive breed of dog.

So I’m thinking if I were that pet’s

owner I’d do everything in my power to

make sure it never got lost.

DANNY MESSER

You can’t LoJack a dog though. Wait,

can you?

LINDSAY MONROE

No. But, they do make dog collars with

GPS tracking chips in them. So you

said that the dogs Henry picked up

never made it back to the pound.

DR. SHELDON HAWKES

Uh-huh.

LINDSAY MONROE

Well, I’m thinking maybe they’re still

with him. And if one of those dogs has

a GPS collar--.

Then maybe we could track Henry down.

[BACK TO SCENE]

STELLA BONASERA

I think I know how Dexter fooled him.

I figured it had to be some type of

drug that our routine tox didn’t catch,

or that had already metabolized out of

his system. So, I went to our most

recent sample.

MAC TAYLOR

The diaper.

STELLA BONASERA

Exactly. I found tetrodotoxin in

Dexter’s urine.

MAC TAYLOR

That would explain why the body

temperature didn’t reflect time of

death. Dexter would have seemed dead.

STELLA BONASERA

Right. The only question is, how does

an immigration attorney get his hands

on a drug like that?

MAC TAYLOR

Unless he has a friend who’s a doctor.

STELLA BONASERA

Who’d be willing to sign his death

certificate, no questions asked.

MAC TAYLOR

Dr. Burgess.

DETECTIVE DON FLACK

Hey guys? So I’m loving your insurance

scam theory. Dexter Nevins was insured

to the hilt. His wife, Sophia, was the

beneficiary and it turns out he and

Sophia were in major debt.

MAC TAYLOR

So Dexter’s dead and there’s a lot of

money to be collected. Where’s the

wife?

DETECTIVE DON FLACK

No one can find her. She hasn’t

collected the insurance either. It’s

like she disappeared.

MAC TAYLOR

If Dr. Burgess was in on it, they could

be together.

DETECTIVE DON FLACK

Took a look at Sophia’s last credit

transactions. Everything stops the day

before the funeral and get this, the

last charge on their joint card, a

Helios personal oxygen system.

STELLA BONASERA

With oxygen, Dexter could have survived

ten, twelve hours.

DETECTIVE DON FLACK

And Sophie comes back, digs him up and

they split town with the money.

STELLA BONASERA

But there was no evidence of an oxygen

tank in the coffin.

MAC TAYLOR

Maybe it was never [MUSIC IN] put in

the coffin because Sophia never

intended to dig her husband up.

So you cleaned up the crime scene and

believed you.

BETTY WILLENS

I read the story in the paper about the

old place being sold. No one had lived

there since Henry and I left. Everyone

thought it was haunted, except the

Duncans. They told reporters they

didn’t believe in ghosts. They said

that, they were looking forward to

renovating the old place.

LINDSAY MONROE

Which meant they’d uncover your secret.

So you sent Henry to go get your

daughter, before she could be

discovered.
