MAC TAYLOR (V.O.)

Previously on CSI New York.

MAC TAYLOR (ON CAMERA AND V.O.)

I got a few strange phone calls on my

hotel room phone. Hello. Each call

came at exactly 3:33 a.m. Who is this?

Say something, damn it. My luggage was

stolen. When I finally received it, I

found this inside. This building is

the Tribune Tower in Chicago. It all

makes sense now. Over the years, 136

stones have been added to the Tribune

Tower’s ground level from world

landmarks, including the Redwood

Forest, Hagia Sophia and the Alamo. He

sent me pieces of each of them. That’s

where he wants me to go.

LINDSAY MONROE

Mac say when he’d be back from Chicago?

STELLA BONASERA

No, but you know Mac. He’s not getting

on a plane until he gets some answers.

DANNY MESSER

And he thinks those answers are in

Chicago?

STELLA BONASERA

Well, that’s where the evidence led

him.

LINDSAY MONROE

So this 3-3-3 guy, is he someone Mac

put away?

STELLA BONASERA

Don’t know who he is, exactly.

DANNY MESSER

Could be a woman.

LINDSAY MONROE

Danny, no woman wakes up at 3:33 to

make an anonymous phone call.

DANNY MESSER

Sure about that?

ND STREET SUBWAY STATION - DAY

DETECTIVE DON FLACK

DOA is Kevin Carmichael, train

operator. Reports of an empty train

blowing through stations caught the

MTA’s attention.

STELLA BONASERA

How many stations did he pass through?

DETECTIVE DON FLACK

All of ‘em. Looks like the train was

hijacked up in the rail yard and for

whatever reason, stopped here. People

waiting on the platform were treated to

this.

DANNY MESSER

Ouch.

DETECTIVE DON FLACK

No sign of our perp. And I got my guys

up at the rail yard doing a canvass.

INTERCUT WITH

STELLA BONASERA

Hey.

DR. SHELDON HAWKES

Hey. Looks like this is where it

started and ended. Perp ambushes the

operator, hits him in the head multiple

times with a blunt object, causing the

cast-off pattern.

LINDSAY MONROE

Then for good measure hurls him through

the window? That’s not easy. That

takes a lot of force.

CSI: NEW YORK - “The Thing About Heroes…” - Eps. #410 - Page 4

DETECTIVE DON FLACK

We ruled out robbery. The vic’s wallet

and watch weren’t taken and the

attack’s too brutal to be random, so

we’re looking into a more personal

motive.

STELLA BONASERA

All right, Danny, you and Lindsay are

on blood and prints. Hawkes, you and I

are gonna be on the body.

DR. SHELDON HAWKES

Cursory examination of the body

suggests that the impact--.

DANNY MESSER

What happened?

DETECTIVE DON FLACK

Hey, Brooks. You wanna tell me who

shut the door? If this is a joke, so

help me God…

LINDSAY MONROE

I have a feeling we’re going for a

ride.

STELLA BONASERA

Whoa.

DR. SHELDON HAWKES

Oh, I thought this train was empty.

DETECTIVE DON FLACK

Damn it, Brooks. Stop the train!

CSI: NEW YORK - “The Thing About Heroes…” - Eps. #410 - Page 5

STELLA BONASERA

Hey, Danny! Call the Train Master’s

office, control room. See if they

can’t shut this thing down.

DANNY MESSER

[TO COPS] Get on the radio right now.

Find out what the hell is going on!

BROOKS

Major to Control. We got a transit

emergency down here.

[THE SUBWAY TRAIN SPEEDS DOWN THE

Stella, nothing.

STELLA BONASERA

Hey, Flack, try the other emergency

brake!

DETECTIVE DON FLACK

It’s stripped!

DR. SHELDON HAWKES

This is no practical joke.

BROOKS

You gotta shut down the Three Train.

MTA OPERATOR (V.O.)

It’s not responding. You gotta do it

from up there. There’s a control box

about a 100 yards down the tunnel. You

better hurry up and shut it down before

it plows into the train in front of it,

okay? Now, the power source is on the

right, inside the box.

Taylor.

MAC TAYLOR

I’m not trying to step on any toes

here.

DETECTIVE RENEE BRENNAN

Well then you should let me ask the

questions. How did you know that there

was a body in this building?

MAC TAYLOR

I didn’t.

DETECTIVE RENEE BRENNAN

Well, you came here looking for

something.

MAC TAYLOR

I didn’t know what I’d find.

DETECTIVE RENEE BRENNAN

What made you think you’d find anything

at all? You specifically asked to

visit an unoccupied floor. You flashed

your badge, said it was police

business. Now, it doesn’t sound to me

like you were looking for office space.

MAC TAYLOR

I was sent here. I don’t know why or

by whom, and I don’t know who the

victim hanging from that ceiling is or

how it connects to me.

DETECTIVE RENEE BRENNAN

Coward. What’s that mean to you?

MAC TAYLOR

Nothing.

DETECTIVE RENEE BRENNAN

So this is how it’s gonna be?

MAC TAYLOR

Someone’s stalking me. It started with

phone calls--

MAC TAYLOR (CONTINUED)

Last week a puzzle of New York City--

The pieces were spattered with blood

that has common alleles to the blood on

the T-shirt. Two brothers.

When all the evidence and clues were

analyzed it led me here to Chicago.

So you believe your stalker vandalized

the Tribune Building to send you those

clues.

MAC TAYLOR

Maybe one of these cameras captured him

doing it.

DETECTIVE RENEE BRENNAN

We look at footage from six months ago,

go back a year? I mean, you gotta give

me a window here.

MAC TAYLOR

All began three months ago. We start

there, we work our way back.

DETECTIVE RENEE BRENNAN

All right. I’ll get my guys on it. In

the meantime, we’ll process the victim,

try to get an I.D. And Detective? You

are a civilian in this city. This is

not a joint investigation. Keep your

badge in your pocket.

DR. SID HAMMERBACK

Stell. Canvass of the rail yard got us

subway right before our conductor

pulled it off the yard. Perfect

opportunity to murder Kevin Carmichael

and take control of that train. Now

But we are checking it. You talk to

STELLA BONASERA

Briefly. He found a body at the

led him there. Hopefully, whatever Mac

learns in Chicago will help us catch

him here.

DETECTIVE DON FLACK

Well, if this all connects to the same

guy, he’s using up his frequent flyer

miles.

STELLA BONASERA

Seriously.

DETECTIVE DON FLACK

[QUIETLY TO STELLA] This can’t be

CHIEF OF DETECTIVES BRIGHAM SINCLAIR

I received some very interesting phone

calls this morning. One in particular

got my attention. The police

commissioner wanted to know why a

member of our crime lab is

investigating a murder in Chicago. Of

course I told him that’s impossible,

because I didn’t know a damn thing

about it.

STELLA BONASERA

Mac is in Chicago on personal business.

CHIEF OF DETECTIVES BRIGHAM SINCLAIR

How personal is it?

DETECTIVE DON FLACK

That’s what he’s trying to figure out.

CSI: NEW YORK - “The Thing About Heroes…” - Eps. #410 - Page 18

CHIEF OF DETECTIVES BRIGHAM SINCLAIR

Is he in trouble?

STELLA BONASERA

No.

CHIEF OF DETECTIVES BRIGHAM SINCLAIR

[TO STELLA] Then you tell Taylor he’s

got twelve hours and then I want his

ass back in New York. There’s a fine

line between foolishness and loyalty,

Detective. Be careful you don’t cross

it. [TO FLACK] Walk with me.

INT. NEW YORK CRIME LAB - PRINT LAB - DAY

[DANNY FINDS A PRINT ON THE MP3 PLAYER]

ADAM ROSS

Hmm. This is amazing. I mean, really

amazing. This little MP3 gadget, uh,

I, it’s, it’s, it’s amazing.

DANNY MESSER

Yeah, yeah. You realize there was a

crime committed here though, right?

ADAM ROSS

Yeah, but that’s what’s so great about

this little gadget here. You know,

millions of people are wandering around

with compact hard drives able to

download almost anything. This was

hooked up to the subway’s digital

control system, operating as an

external hard drive, rebooted the

system and then ran its own

application.

DANNY MESSER

That explains the runaway train, but

why didn’t the train master’s office

cut off the power and just stop it?

CSI: NEW YORK - “The Thing About Heroes…” - Eps. #410 - Page 19

ADAM ROSS

Because this little creature here not

only ran its own program, but its fire

wire allowed for an extremely fast

upload of a very large virus that

infected the entire system. And once

it got control of the train’s master’s

office, I mean, it was just game over.

DANNY MESSER

So we’re looking for a killer that is

some sort of gadget genius here?

ADAM ROSS

He had a little bit of help. Check

this out. All right? There was a URL

in the code.

DANNY MESSER

He got his help from a flower delivery

company?

ADAM ROSS

You are so impatient. [THE FLOWER

DELIVERY WEBSITE EXPLODES INTO A HACKER

WEBSITE] Nirvana for the everyday

hacker.

DANNY MESSER

That’s for real.

ADAM ROSS

Huh.

DANNY MESSER

A website that tells you how to hijack

a subway train?

ADAM ROSS

These are instructions on how to use

every day, ordinary electronics to hack

into databases, security codes, even

arena scoreboards. Basically, you

purchase the override codes and you can

take over the world.

CSI: NEW YORK - “The Thing About Heroes…” - Eps. #410 - Page 20

DETECTIVE RENEE BRENNAN

Bad reception down here.

MAC TAYLOR

Well there’s bad reception everywhere.

DETECTIVE RENEE BRENNAN

Okay, I deserve that. Preliminary

autopsy report. Our hangman is a white

male, died in his mid-twenties.

MAC TAYLOR

When was that?

DETECTIVE RENEE BRENNAN

Pathologist estimates 30 years ago.

Traces of soil on his teeth suggest the

body was buried, then dug up.

CSI: NEW YORK - “The Thing About Heroes…” - Eps. #410 - Page 21

MAC TAYLOR

Which explains the partial

mummification. The vic must have been

moved to a dark, dry place which slowed

decomposition. Got a cause of death?

DETECTIVE RENEE BRENNAN

Gunshot wound to the stomach, through

the liver and out. Uh, there are two

other visible fractures. Blunt force

to the skull, postmortem, more than

likely occurred when the body was dug

up. Scar tissue tells us that the

second injury was pre-mortem. An index

finger was sawed off.

MAC TAYLOR

You got an I.D.?

DETECTIVE RENEE BRENNAN

Fingertips were too decomposed for

prints, and as you know, 30 years ago

CODIS didn’t exist. So, if he

committed a felony, there’s no

possibility for a DNA match.

MAC TAYLOR

What about running a sample through the

Missing Persons Database?

DETECTIVE RENEE BRENNAN

I did that. Nobody missed this guy.

something you’re sure of because I

right hand, Mac. If you know

something, you need to tell me.

Jimmie?

JIMMIE DAVIS

What? What, are you out of your mind,

Mac? Huh? Is this some kind of sick

joke to you?

MAC TAYLOR

Over a month ago I got a T-shirt

stained with blood. I didn’t know

until today, that’s your brother’s

shirt. Will’s blood. The same shirt

he was wearing when Bobby Toole beat

him to death.

JIMMIE DAVIS

You feeling guilty, Mac?

MAC TAYLOR

I don’t regret the choice I made that

day.

JIMMIE DAVIS

[OVERLAPPING] No, I don’t imagine that

you do, because you didn’t lose a

brother. Your family didn’t fall

apart. You didn’t watch your father

cry for the first time in your life,

watch him crumble to his knees. You

didn’t spend ten years trying to make

it up to your mother and your little

brother, lying to little Andy about how

Will died. Not you.

MAC TAYLOR

Did you send me that shirt, Jimmie?

You’ve been making phone calls? You

brought me here to Chicago. What do

you wanna say?

CSI: NEW YORK - “The Thing About Heroes…” - Eps. #410 - Page 25

JIMMIE DAVIS

You come back here after all this time,

you come back here, you accuse me of

something I didn’t do?

MAC TAYLOR

Will worked as a paperboy for the

Tribune. A newspaper satchel was left

as a clue. That’s not a coincidence.

I have forensic evidence, Jimmie, and

it points to Will’s brother, that’s

you. You and I were the only ones

there.

JIMMIE DAVIS

You don’t know what the hell you’re

talking about. You hear me, Mac? I

had nothing to do with what you’re

talking about. You, you stay away from

me. You hear me? I don’t know a damn

thing.

What about at the scene?

DR. SHELDON HAWKES

Didn’t find any trace of it there.

Nonetheless, we’ve asked area hospitals

to notify us of any symptoms of anthrax

poisoning. And we’re sweeping the

subway cars well as the 42

Now, I did find the darker

discolorations on the fabric of the

victim’s shirt. Turned out to be

burns--

[FLASHBACK]

LINDSAY MONROE (V.O.) (CONTINUED)

--chemical burns inconsistent with

anthrax. I analyzed a swatch, detected

traces of muriatic acid. Turns out our

vic, Kevin Carmichael, is a custom-made

leather goods entrepreneur. Which may

explain why the anthrax--

[BACK TO SCENE]

pulled from the MP3 player?

DR. SHELDON HAWKES

They’re all over the place, on the

victim and the train. The DNA from the

prints are all a match to the blood on

the New York City puzzle, an unknown

male. This is all one suspect.

LINDSAY MONROE

no hits in AFIS or CODIS.

This guy’s cocky, you know. He didn’t

wear gloves, he leaves his prints.

Jimmie and I were 14. His brother Will

was 16. Will delivered packages after

school for a guy named Sal Marchetti to

earn a little money. He split it with

me and Jimmie when we tagged along.

None of us realized what we were doing.

Didn’t question it. Sal said he wanted

a package delivered to a guy named

Bobby Toole. We came here that night.

Will got in a fight. We didn’t see the

guy’s faces. When we told Sal

Marchetti the truth, he said it would

be taken care of. We never spoke of it

after that.

DETECTIVE DON FLACK

Jimmie shot Toole in defense of his

brother’s life. It was self-defense,

Mac.

MAC TAYLOR

We were kids. We didn’t know. I never

saw Jimmie much after that. I suppose

We ran the cigarette you sent back to

DNA on the cigarette is not a match to

the DNA from the puzzle pieces. Still

we’re dealing with a brother but it’s

Well, you said he dumped the puzzle on

his desk. So one of the pieces

probably fell on the floor.

Lindsay, he dumped the New York puzzle

on his desk. So the piece that I found

should have had green X’s on it, not

blue. We hadn’t even gotten the

Tribune puzzle yet.

So wait a minute, Stella. Are you

saying that this Drew Bedford guy’s

involved? Aren’t you two seeing each
