DETECTIVE DON FLACK

So the Hatfields and McCoys couldn’t

keep it together long enough to merge

their family fortunes.

MAC TAYLOR

Who’s the vic?

DETECTIVE DON FLACK

The groom, Brett Dohn, 28 years old.

Guy made it big in the stock market.

Bride’s Emma Blackstone. She’s a mess.

MAC TAYLOR

Did she give you anything?

DETECTIVE DON FLACK

From what she said, between the

hysterics, I don’t think she knows

anything. I’ll try to talk to her

again though. The eight tranquilizers

Mommy gave her should’ve kicked in by

now. Right here.

INT. GROOM’S TENT - DAY

DETECTIVE DON FLACK

Gives new meaning to cold feet.

DR. SHELDON HAWKES

No apparent gunshot wounds or stab

wounds. No signs of Petechial

hemorrhaging.

MAC TAYLOR

So he wasn’t strangled.

DR. SHELDON HAWKES

Could be internal injuries from the

fight. Won’t know for sure ‘til we get

him on the table.

DETECTIVE DON FLACK

Wasn’t in the fight. No one I

interviewed has seen the groom since

the rehearsal dinner last night.

C.O.D. could be an overdose or alcohol

poisoning.

DANNY MESSER

Smells like a 100 proof to me.

DR. SHELDON HAWKES

Looks like blood in his mouth.

MAC TAYLOR

It’s consistent with trauma to his

airway.

DR. SHELDON HAWKES

I don’t see any damage to his throat.

Aspiration could be from a chest wound.

DANNY MESSER

What was that?

[HAWKES AND MAC UNBUTTON BRETT’S SHIRT

DETECTIVE DON FLACK

So, George. You said you went out with

Brett after the rehearsal dinner?

GEORGE FOODIM

Yeah, it was his last night of being a

free agent so, we got wasted and, you

know, bar-hopping.

DETECTIVE DON FLACK

You were with him the whole time?

GEORGE FOODIM

Yeah. It’s kind of fuzzy. At like,

midnight I looked up, everyone was gone

so, I hit the next bar. I just can’t

believe he’s never coming back.

So we’re putting together--

[BACK TO SCENE]

DETECTIVE DON FLACK (CONTINUED)

--a list of wedding guests and

employees, see if we can tack down the

motive.

MAC TAYLOR

There’s a smudge on the curb,

consistent with the yellow stain on the

bottom of Brett Dohn’s shoe.

DETECTIVE DON FLACK

He stepped on the curb while it was

still wet. I’ll find out when the curb

was painted.

MAC TAYLOR

Our groom was alive there, but dead in

there.

DETECTIVE DON FLACK

Killed somewhere in between.

MAC TAYLOR

No blood. No drag marks, no murder

weapon. How do you kill a guy in a 20-

foot space and leave no evidence at

all?

My very first dead ringer.

DANNY MESSER

[LAUGHS] I guess, uh, you didn’t pull

that out of his pocket, Sid, did you?

DR. SID HAMMERBACK

Found it in his abdominal cavity. It’s

our victim’s phone. It was cushioned

with these.

DR. SHELDON HAWKES

Packing peanuts.

DR. SID HAMMERBACK

Uh-huh.

DANNY MESSER

Wait. So he was stuffed and then

wrapped like a gift?

DR. SID HAMMERBACK

Maybe the killer changed his mind

during the murder and tried to save the

victim, you know, stop the bleeding.

CSI: NEW YORK - “One Wedding and a Funeral” - Eps. #409 - Page 9

DR. SHELDON HAWKES

Know what killed him?

DR. SID HAMMERBACK

Defensive wounds here. But this nasty

gash was the final blow. Wound

indicates sharp force trauma.

DANNY MESSER

Any idea what the weapon was?

DR. SID HAMMERBACK

And based on the striation patterns,

it’s almost as if the groom were

stabbed with three different weapons.

But whatever the killer used, punctured

the lung--

[FLASHBACK]

DR. SID HAMMERBACK (V.O.) (CONTINUED)

--causing the aspirated blood you saw

at the scene--

[BACK TO SCENE]

DR. SID HAMMERBACK (CONTINUED)

--as well as exsanguination.

DANNY MESSER

He bled out. But we didn’t find a drop

of blood anywhere. I mean, there was

no blood near the other tent, nothing

on the surrounding areas in the park.

DR. SHELDON HAWKES

Had to be killed somewhere else. You

got time of death?

DR. SID HAMMERBACK

Best estimate, between two and three

a.m.

CSI: NEW YORK - “One Wedding and a Funeral” - Eps. #409 - Page 10

DR. SHELDON HAWKES

Hold up. For the paint to get on the

groom’s shoe, he had to step on the wet

curb in the park.

[FLASHBACK]

[BACK TO SCENE]

DR. SHELDON HAWKES (CONTINUED)

According to Flack, the curb was

painted at six a.m.

DANNY MESSER

Yeah, so how’s a guy die at two a.m.

and then step on a curb four hours

later?

STELLA BONASERA

What the hell were you thinking, Drew?

[MUSIC OUT] I mean, this was not cute

or funny or the least bit charming. I

told you, I didn’t want you to send me

any more gifts and I thought I made it

perfectly clear that I was not

interested. And then you put this box

on my truck? I called the bomb squad,

Drew.

DREW BEDFORD

It’s not from me, Stella. Look, every

gift I sent to your office was with a

card. You know, there was a theme

going on, in case you hadn’t noticed.

A puzzle doesn’t exactly say take a

risk.

STELLA BONASERA

You really didn’t send this to me.

DREW BEDFORD

No. But I do like a good challenge.

You wanna put it together?

STELLA BONASERA

Definitely blood.

ADAM ROSS

Ah, this puzzle is huge. I tried to

contact the manufacturer, Danco, to see

if they could, you know, send us a

picture of the box or something to help

us put it together. And they went out

of business six years ago.

LINDSAY MONROE

Great.

ADAM ROSS

Hmm.

[ZOOM INTO ECS OF PUZZLE PIECE]

LINDSAY MONROE

Found traces of some kind of powder.

No prints so far.

STELLA BONASERA

Wait a minute. The diameter of each

drop of blood looks like it’s less than

one millimeter.

LINDSAY MONROE

High-velocity spatter. It’s consistent

with a gunshot. Maybe there is a

connection to the Russo trial. Maybe

they were sending some kind of warning.

CSI: NEW YORK - “One Wedding and a Funeral” - Eps. #409 - Page 14

STELLA BONASERA

No, I don’t think so, Lindsay. Puzzles

just aren’t their style. This needs to

be put together right away. There

could be a body out there to go with

this blood. Adam, this is top priority

for you.

Okay.

INT. NEW YORK CRIME LAB - CORRIDOR - DAY

DR. SHELDON HAWKES

There was a linear wear pattern on both

the leather insoles of the groom’s

shoes.

MAC TAYLOR

Possibly orthotics. They’re usually

worn to alleviate joint pain resulting

from a faulty gait or posture. It

seems odd though that he would take ‘em

off before his wedding.

INT. NEW YORK CRIME LAB - MAC’S OFFICE - DAY

MAC TAYLOR

All that dancing and standing around?

DR. SHELDON HAWKES

You know, something else struck me as

odd.

CSI: NEW YORK - “One Wedding and a Funeral” - Eps. #409 - Page 15

[FLASHBACK]

DR. SHELDON HAWKES (V.O.) (CONTINUED)

The groom’s shoes were obviously worn.

[BACK TO SCENE]

DR. SHELDON HAWKES (CONTINUED)

If a man’s ever gonna buy new shoes,

it’s probably gonna be for his wedding.

MAC TAYLOR

Maybe the groom was wearing someone

else’s shoes.

DR. SHELDON HAWKES

Which would explain why it appeared

that our already dead groom stepped on

a freshly painted curb. That could

only be possible if someone else

stepped in the paint then switched

shoes with our groom, Brett Dohn.

MAC TAYLOR

And those shoes could belong to our

killer.

DR. SHELDON HAWKES

We still need to find the primary crime

scene. Brett was last seen around

midnight. Sid puts time of death

between two and three.

MAC TAYLOR

The groom was stuffed and dressed

before being brought to the park. The

killer needed access to pink packing

peanuts and bubble wrap.

DR. SHELDON HAWKES

Which are consistent with wedding

gifts, most likely delivered directly

to the new couple’s home.

So the neighbors were very helpful.

They saw nothing, heard nothing and

know nothing. Welcome to my life.

DR. SHELDON HAWKES

Looks like this is where the groom was

killed.

DETECTIVE DON FLACK

Bride stayed in a hotel last night.

Night before the wedding superstition,

the whole bad luck thing.

DR. SHELDON HAWKES

Yeah, well, if she would a spent the

night with her fiancé, she could have

been killed as well. Now, I searched

the closets. No orthotics in any of

the groom’s shoes. Proves our theory,

he was wearing someone else’s.

DETECTIVE DON FLACK

Pink peanuts.

DR. SHELDON HAWKES

Looks like we’re missing a wedding gift

as well. Got an indentation here. And

where are the clothes the groom was

wearing when he was stabbed?

DETECTIVE DON FLACK

Looks like someone tried to clean up.

CSI: NEW YORK - “One Wedding and a Funeral” - Eps. #409 - Page 17

INT. NEW YORK CRIME LAB - TRACE LAB - DAY

STELLA BONASERA

Hey.

LINDSAY MONROE

Hey. So the little rock I found in the

puzzle box, it isn’t really a rock.

It’s too stratified. So I ran it under

the electron-microscope.

STELLA BONASERA

Silicon and oxygen is consistent with

quartz. Copper and iron give it its

color.

LINDSAY MONROE

Based on the morphology and the

elemental composition, our rock is

actually petrified redwood.

Unfinished, indigenous to Northern

California.

STELLA BONASERA

So what was it doing in the box?

CSI: NEW YORK - “One Wedding and a Funeral” - Eps. #409 - Page 18

LINDSAY MONROE

I have no idea, and there was no other

evidence on the box, nothing on the

string. And the plastic that the

puzzle was, came in, was made from

polyvinyl chloride. It’s probably what

the company used to package the puzzle

in the first place.

STELLA BONASERA

Hm, it most likely it was opened and

then heated to re-seal.

LINDSAY MONROE

Right. And the trace that I found on

the puzzle piece, garden variety chalk.

[FLASHBACK]

LINDSAY MONROE (V.O.) (CONTINUED)

Did you find anything from the blood on

the puzzle pieces?

[BACK TO SCENE]

STELLA BONASERA

Not really. The intensity of the DNA

profile tells me the blood was fresh.

But there’s no match to anybody

involved in the Russo trial, no match

in CODIS at all.

MUSIC IN

LINDSAY MONROE

So I don’t get it. What does petrified

redwood have to do with a bloody

puzzle?

puzzle here. Are you done?

ADAM ROSS

Yeah. That’s all he sent. But you

were right about the blood.

Predominant size [ZOOM INTO ECS OF

less than a millimeter. Definitely

high velocity spatter.

I don’t know. I looked everywhere. It

wasn’t in the box.

We’re missing a piece and we only have

half of the entire puzzle.

MAC TAYLOR

Can this be a case from the past,

someone holding a grudge?

STELLA BONASERA

No, you know, I’ve been racking my

brain. I can’t think of anything.

There’s nothing.

CSI: NEW YORK - “One Wedding and a Funeral” - Eps. #409 - Page 21

Someone’s blood is on the puzzle. This

guy isn’t playing a game. Let me

Silver leaf?

Yep, it was on the groom’s phone Sid

pulled out of his gut.

MAC TAYLOR

Well, they used to silver leaf to gild

statues on rooftops, but no so much

anymore. Although sometimes silver

leaf is used in food and drink.

[FLASHBACK]

MAC TAYLOR (V.O.) (CONTINUED)

When we processed the scene, the cake

was decorated with silver leaf.

[BACK TO SCENE]

MAC TAYLOR (CONTINUED)

That’s what made it shine.

DANNY MESSER

The wedding cake was at the park, but

the phone was still inside Brett before

he was redressed and taken there.

MAC TAYLOR

So prior to stuffing the groom with the

phone, the killer had to come in

contact with the cake. There’s really

only one person who could have done

that before the cake got to the

wedding.

EXT. MAXWELL HOUSE - DAY

[TIMOTHY MAXWELL’S YOUNG SON PLAYS WITH

TIMOTHY MAXWELL

My catering business is just getting

off the ground. The Dohn-Blackstone

wedding would have made me a household

name.

DANNY MESSER

Why is that?

TIMOTHY MAXWELL

Well, it’s the wedding of the season.

Two of New York’s most elite families?

The guest list alone would ensure my

employment for the next ten years.

DANNY MESSER

Wedding of the season. So you and

Brett, uh, were college buddies, huh?

TIMOTHY MAXWELL

How do you think I got the job? He did

me a huge favor.

DETECTIVE DON FLACK

You wear orthotics, Tim?

TIMOTHY MAXWELL

Uh, what are you, the foot police? Uh,

no, no. You can check my shoes.

What’s this about anyway?

DETECTIVE DON FLACK

We checked his phone records. Year and

a half ago you were calling Brett all

the time, then up until about three

months ago, no contact. Now all of a

sudden he’s calling you every 30

seconds.

CSI: NEW YORK - “One Wedding and a Funeral” - Eps. #409 - Page 24

TIMOTHY MAXWELL

Yeah, I ran into him downtown and he

offered me the opportunity to cater his

wedding, so of course he’s gonna call

me.

DANNY MESSER

We got reason to believe that you were

with Brett last night.

TIMOTHY MAXWELL

No. No, my kid’s birthday party was

yesterday. After that I was cookin’.

DANNY MESSER

Well, we found silver leaf from the

wedding cake on Brett’s cell phone.

You did make the cake, right?

TIMOTHY MAXWELL

Yeah. But I use silver leaf for a lot

of things. It’s sort of my signature.

Brett and I met a few days back to go

over the final checklist for the

wedding. My phone died and I needed to

call one of the vendors so, I used his

phone. Silver leaf, it sticks to

everything.

DETECTIVE DON FLACK

When was the last time you were at

Brett’s house?

TIMOTHY MAXWELL

I don’t know. A few weeks back. Look,

you guys are barking up the wrong tree

here. Well, why would I wanna kill a

guy who was gonna make me a success?

LINDSAY MONROE

Hi.

STELLA BONASERA

Think I found our missing puzzle piece.

LINDSAY MONROE

Great. I think I might have found

something too. It turns out there’s

only one repository for legally

harvested unfinished redwood in all of

New York City. Yalof Furniture. The

chances are only people who work there

would have access to the wood in the

unfinished state, so I had the manager

fax over a list of employees.

STELLA BONASERA

None of these names ring a bell.

INT. NEW YORK CRIME LAB - LAYOUT ROOM - DAY

This piece I found obviously doesn’t

fit.

ADAM ROSS

That’s because it’s not supposed to.

[FLASHBACK]

ADAM ROSS (V.O.) (CONTINUED)

When a puzzle comes from a

manufacturer, it’s connected as flat

boards through use of a frame.

ADAM ROSS (CONTINUED)

The pieces with the painted X on them--

[FLASHBACK]

CSI: NEW YORK - “One Wedding and a Funeral” - Eps. #409 - Page 26

ADAM ROSS (V.O.) (CONTINUED)

--are part of the frame that need to be

removed in order to put the puzzle

together.

[BACK TO SCENE]

ADAM ROSS (CONTINUED)

Yeah. I learned that the hard way.

But what I also learned is that the

puzzle piece we’ve been looking for

isn’t actually missing. It was never

in the box to begin with.

[FLASHBACK]

ADAM ROSS (V.O.) (CONTINUED)

When I was looking for it, I hit the

surrounding areas with the LCV, and I

saw latent blood near the spatter.

[BACK TO SCENE]

LINDSAY MONROE

So the puzzle was put together, blood

spattered on it--.

STELLA BONASERA

And when the spatter dried--

[REENACTMENT]

STELLA BONASERA (V.O.) (CONTINUED)

--the missing piece was deliberately

removed.

[BACK TO SCENE]

ADAM ROSS

Had to be. And the person who removed

the piece--

CSI: NEW YORK - “One Wedding and a Funeral” - Eps. #409 - Page 27

[REENACTMENT]

ADAM ROSS (V.O.) (CONTINUED)

--had blood on their finger, causing

the swipe with directionality.

[BACK TO SCENE]

STELLA BONASERA

The location the missing piece

represents could be very important.

Maybe the answer’s in that building.

ADAM ROSS

That’s what I thought. So I located

the actual building on 54

Now, based on the number of windows on

the adjacent pieces, I think our

missing piece is floors 32 through 36.

I contacted building security and there

was no sign of criminal activity or

anything unusual on those floors.

However, 36 has been vacant for the

last month and they haven’t started

showing it yet.

I checked with Sid. Brett Dohn didn’t

have it. So the hair could have come

from our killer.

MAC TAYLOR

Or anyone who hugged the groom at the

rehearsal dinner or the night clubs he

visited before he was killed and so on

and so on. That’s a lot of suspects.

DR. SHELDON HAWKES

This might help. I found an ash-like

smudge on the groom’s shirt. Traces of

potassium, nitrogen, sulfur, carbon,

nickel and iron.

MAC TAYLOR

Pyrotechnics. Iron says they’re gold.

CSI: NEW YORK - “One Wedding and a Funeral” - Eps. #409 - Page 29

DR. SHELDON HAWKES

And nickel indicates some type of

metal. Maybe a handle. I’m thinking

gold sparklers.

MAC TAYLOR

This time of year? Can’t imagine

there’s too many places we’d find ‘em.

DR. SHELDON HAWKES

The nightclubs. I’m thinking I know

where he went.

He said he had to be at his buddy’s

wasting valuable time.

DR. SHELDON HAWKES

Remember what he looked like?

MISTY

He wasn’t bad. Had a shot ‘til he

opened his mouth.

DETECTIVE DON FLACK

Thank you.

MISTY

Yep.

DETECTIVE DON FLACK

The wedding was scheduled to start at

eleven. If our guy had to be there at

eight, must have been in the wedding
