"For almost a month, the gang has targeted Manhattan's elite." " A break-in would be tough." " No prints." "They were here." "Er, no, I didn't, but, er, Don saw one of them." " Is that shock or just weird?" " Lucky girl." "Just got robbed by a secret agent." "She's going to get all kinds of invitations for all the in parties." "And the car?" "A spy car." "Whatever model comes with the blue fire getaway package." "OK." "So, we are invited to an exclusive fundraiser on Wednesday night." "Good." "Did either one of you get a look at the thief?" "Medium build, light brown hair, scar on his left cheek." " Specific!" " Guy turned the lights on." "He did?" "What thief sneaks into an apartment and turns on the lights?" "Flack." "Where?" "Let's flip him." "Yeah, that's the guy I chased last night." " See anyone with him?" " There was one more guy." "I couldn't get an ID and the car window did some weird tinting thing." "You have a thingie." "New shirt." " You still didn't get your luggage?" " Not yet." " Mac?" " What is it?" "Scalp." "Check this out." "Looks like it might belong to our vic, Mac." "There's a redness in the eyes, could be chemical irritation." "He's got something around his neck." "At least he dressed for the occasion." " Chief Sinclair." " Gentlemen." " Sir." " You're all over the news, Flack." ""NYPD detective in high-speed pursuit. "" "I'm getting calls from City Hall, borough councils..." "Chief, I'm so..." "The NYPD has a strict policy against high-speed chases." " Or did you forget?" " No, sir." "Next time you want to run up a $60 cab fare, do that on your own time." "You're lucky no one got hurt." "Taylor, talk to me." "MO is the same as the guys that hit your place." "It looks like one of the thieves has been murdered." "This gang is just a bunch of, er, showboats." "They're making the Department look really bad." "Step up the investigation, whatever resources you need." "I want to get these guys." "They hit Sinclair's house and you." "Maybe they're targeting cops." "Problem is, it was my girlfriend's place." "Girlfriend?" "For how long?" "Flack?" "Hawkes?" "Looks like skid marks here and here, overlapping treads." "Could be a body dump." "Car stops fast, leaves the body, drives away." "Someone in this town has a licence to kill." "Seems Double O was prepared for anything." "Aside from the jumpsuit and tux, he had long underwear on." "Maybe it was a disguise from an earlier robbery." "Now, most of the lividity is on the back of his body." "I found a small amount of haemolysis in the dermal tissue of his feet, which indicates he died while upright." "We found him laying in the street." "Confirms a body dump." " What about the head wound?" " Yeah." "How about that head wound?" "That is a clean cut through most of the left parietal bone." "Interesting thing is it's postmortem." "Didn't kill him." "Except for facial contusions, there are no other external injuries." "Still, as my third grade counsellor told my mother, it's what's on the inside that counts." " Have a COD?" " Crush asphyxiation." "Caused by massive compressive force." "No bruising, no broken bones in the upper torso." "How do you crush someone to death without leaving a mark?" "Tell me you got something, because I've got no luck with an ID on John Doe." "Prints didn't hit in AFIS, nothing yet from Missing Persons." "Maybe these can tell us who he is." " Papilionoidea epithelias." " Scales from a butterfly wing?" "There were 20 different species of scales on the vic's tux." "These species don't normally group together in nature." "Maybe not in nature, but they do at the Manhattan Conservatory." "Last night's benefit was A-list." "He wasn't here." "Maybe he's an employee." " Mr Rodriguez." " Gay." " Huh?" " Rodrigue." "No Z. It's Basque." "The man was wearing a tuxedo." "I don't think he was an employee." "Rodrigue Events." "No, no!" "I said 50 cases of vodka, 100 cases of Gilmore 171." " Yeah." "Maude, where are you?" " She's over there." " Ow!" " I got your attention now?" "Look, I know anyone who's anyone, and this anyone did not attend the party." "No way he could have slipped in?" " No." "I provide guest screening." " Of course." "I'd love to chat, but I got to orchestrate the Mayor's benefit." "Maude, will you help them please?" "Maude, do you recognise this man?" "Sure." "I don't know his name." "He was a guest." " He got into a fight with some guy." " You hear what it was about?" "No, Rodrigue had to call security." " Thank you." " Yeah." "Seems Mr Rodrigue has short-term memory issues." "Get a guest list, check the security report, talk to some employees." "Let's find out why the guy is lying." "Everstone Superla." "It's a brand used on high-end sport cars." "What's in the bag?" "The future, Mr Messer." "This came off the car when it crashed into the cab." " Wow!" " It's a memory polymer." "The electrical current heats it, then the polymer remembers its shape." "That's why we haven't seen reports of the car showing up at auto bodyshops." " Hey, guys." " Hey." "Oh, Mac!" "Back in black." "Is that a new shirt?" "That's nice." "What's the latest on the car?" "Other than modifications including the ability to repair itself," "I think we know where the car was last night." "Matched the skid marks from the penthouse where the robbery took place, to the skid marks over on Bond Street where the body was dumped." "Confirms the car was in both places." "Whoever was driving, dumped the body." "The tox results on the chemical in the vic's eyes." "Oleoresin capsicum." "Cayenne pepper - used in home remedies, recipes and pepper spray." "Maybe whoever the vic was robbing, pepper sprayed him." "It's a big leap from pepper spray to crushing and scalping someone." "As the car was in both places, the logical suspect is the guy Flack saw get in the car." "The vic's accomplice." "We need to find out why our gang accelerated from robbery to murder." "Officers in pursuit of a black sports sedan." "Suspect vehicle last seen driving away from robbery at 256 Gramercy." "That was him!" "He was here, in my bedroom." " It was him?" "Last night." "In here?" " That's what I told Page Six, yes." "Thanks." "So, she just ID'd our vic as the burglar." "The only problem is he died 24 hours ago." "How you doing?" "Same MO as the other burglaries." "Jewellery missing, lights on, window open." " Vic's partner's still in business." " Maybe it's a double cross." "Maybe the partner kills the vic, keeps the take-home." " Traces of SmartWater." " SmartWater?" "Yep, this loft has a high-end security system." "Basically, the thief is spritzed with a luminescent dye." "It has its own unique chemical code." "Lasts seven days, you can't wash it off." "So, we've got a glowing thief who may be our killer?" "Exactly." "I've analysed every possible knife." "None match the vic's wound." "Even with the smoothest blade, you'd see jagged marks in the skull and bone fragments." "This wound is too perfect." "No bone fragments in the cerebral tissue." "There are no bone fragments between the cerebral tissue and the skull." "I cleaned away most of the hair and did find minute thermal damage." "Whatever cut through the vic moved so fast it burned the bone." "Laser?" "Possible, but I don't know of any surgical laser with enough juice to cut through two layers of bone." "I also found traces of mineral oil and lithium in the wound." "Both used as thickeners in synthetic racing grease." "Explains why the laser was doing zero to 60 in under five seconds." "Cutting lasers are used in custom body shops." "One could have been rigged to the car, it sped from the vic, sliced through his head..." "creating this unique wound." "You're saying a car scalped him?" "Boss, I processed the street in front of the loft." "I found brake fluid that matched the Bond Street scene." "I picked this up." "Looks like an under panel to the car." " See what you can get off it." " Alright." " How's the girlfriend?" " Keep walking!" " Seriously, where did you meet?" " At a charity event." " Hockey game." " She's got teeth or...?" "Move!" "Got a Missing Persons hit to the vic." "James Stanton." "Heir to the Stanton fortune." "Parents reported him missing." "No idea their son had a dual career as a secret agent and thief." "We'll follow up, thanks." "Mac, you alright?" " You got a second?" " Of course." "I've been receiving some strange calls." "When I pick up, there's silence." "They've all come at 3:33am." " How long's this been going on?" " Since London." "At first, they were made to my hotel room phone." " Switched hotels, they kept coming." " Is Peyton getting calls?" "I don't think it has anything to do with her because I got a call here, and this morning at the crime scene." "This time he left a message." "Ladies and gentlemen, Flight..." "on final approach to JFK airport." "Please make..." "belts are fastened... are up..." "I'm sorry, sir." "I'm going to have to ask you to turn your cellphone off." "He's in New York." "I tried to trace the number, but didn't get anything." "I was able to identify some of the sounds in the background." "The loudest was a jet engine." "Based on pitch, a 767." "I isolated the flight attendant's voice." "Assuming the caller was in a fixed position when she spoke to him," "I determined the engine's sound waves were elongating away from the rear of the engine toward the caller." "He was sitting toward the back of the plane." "Find that flight, get hold of the passenger manifest." "Someone's playing a very real game and I'm the target." "Speed Racer's Mach 5 does not come close to the Batmobile!" "Are you kidding me?" "Mach 5 had submersible capabilities and a robotic homing pigeon." "So did the Batmobile, along with rocket boosters and armour plating." " Mach 5, rotary saw." " Alright, Montana." "Did Speed Racer's Mach 5 have a forensics kit?" "The Batmobile did not have a kit." " In the Batmobile's trunk, it did." " That explains so much." "We got a number." "I got a part number off the panel." "Car's registered to Elliot Gano." "He did time for auto theft and he's a "skin" expert." "Modifies cars." "Oh, he was definitely at the Conservatory." "According to the security report, he was escorted off the premises at 1:30am for attacking another guest." "Exactly, so maybe he's the guy Flack saw." "It's the Maybach 62S." " Nice car." " Yeah." "The only V12 with infrared reflecting glass." "It's got two rear LCD TV screens, and a retractable electro transparent partition screen." "If you play today, I'll install Piconet." " Piconet?" " Personal entertainment network." "Car retails for $350,000, but for a $50,000 annual membership, you can rent it whenever you want." "Got an hourly membership?" "Just looking for a little evidence." "They're clean." " I told you, the car was stolen." " We heard you." "If that's true, why didn't you file a police report?" "Some of my cars have immigration issues." " What's all that stuff?" " Er, it's nickel chromium." "We use it to customise parts." " You modify all the cars?" " Yeah..." "Sure, but all modifications are done aftermarket for our customers who enjoy something extra." " Like James Stanton?" " Who?" "He was seen driving your car the same night you beat him up at the Conservatory party." "We could have a chat with your parole officer..." "Wait." "Alright, Stanton rented the car from me and he said it was stolen." " You didn't believe him." " Rich kid showing off for friends?" "That's my car and I crashed that party to get it back." " Elliot." "Trolling for clients?" " My car, where is it?" " Get your hands off me!" " You screwed me, punk!" "When security escorted me out, I saw the car right by the valet." "Some guy in the passenger seat." " You get a look at the guy's face?" " No!" "But that's who you should be looking for!" "Well, it seems that the gang's preferred drink wasn't a martini." "This is from the liquid I processed." "Some kind of colour pigment, caramel number five." "It's used in varnishes, wall coverings, cooking." "Flack saw a blue flame." "Colour pigment isn't flammable." "It had to be mixed with something." " But, how do I identify it?" " Trial and error." "Oh, we're going old school!" "Let it be blue." "OK, so..." "What burns with ethanol to make a blue flame?" "Keep working on it." "What's up with the computers?" "IT alerted security to a firewall breach." "Someone is accessing our computer network and it's coming from in here." "It won't shut off." " Neither will this one." " Turn off computers and electronics." "Why is the light table flickering?" "Tux is hot." "Warmer than the light table." "It's this!" "It's the jacket." "It's downloading information from our computers." "Micro technology." "The tux jacket is made up of nanowires that act like a wireless device that downloads information." "When I processed the jacket, I found this chip." "This carried an encryption authentication code that mimicked our system's AP." " AP?" " The system's access point." "After that, the tux logged on and rendered our firewall insecure." "The jacket is also heat activated." "Which is why our vic was wearing long underwear!" "The light table and heat from the overheads turned it on." "The jacket created a power surge causing the lights to flicker." "Once it's powered up, it sends out a signal connects with personal electronic devices, then downloads information." "That's why all the lights were on at the robbery scenes." "If the gang created this to download information secretly, why would they drive a flashy car that would only draw attention?" "For the fame." "They just weren't planning on getting caught." "Hawkes, cross-reference the robbery vic names with identity theft reports." "Get credit checks on all the vics." "This was never about stealing jewellery." "These were wireless robberies." "Mac, did some checking over at JFK." "Passenger manifest is in the works, but there was one 767 that landed at 6:00am." "Thing is, it didn't land yesterday." "It landed two weeks ago." "After that, it was pulled into service rotation." "Flight 401, London to JFK." "He was on the same plane I was on." "That flight was packed." "Couples, kids, families..." "I didn't even think to pay attention." "Let me have Intel do a threat assessment." "Get you some protection." " That's not necessary." " What if he's trying to kill you?" "He won't hurt me." "Yet the calls, the way he's taunting me, they're deliberate actions, he has a plan." "Get me that passenger manifest." " I need a name." " OK." "Mac." "I was able to HotSync the data from the jacket to a secure database." "Whoever designed the jacket didn't build his own encryption?" "And while I was downloading social security numbers and bank accounts," "I came across this email." "Secure all the information." "I don't want it to leave the lab." " No one knows about this?" " I'm the only one." "Where did you get this?" "The gang wasn't just stealing jewellery when they broke in." "They accessed your email looking for account numbers." "They didn't understand what they had." "The simplest gesture these days can be misconstrued." " What she says in this is garbage." " I don't care what it says." "Sexual harassment!" "She's nothing but a clerk looking for a handout in the form of blackmail." "Chief, it's evidence in a murder investigation." "Once I make an arrest, turn the evidence over to the DA, there's no guarantee he'll be discreet." " Can the press get a hold of this?" " The evidence is in our custody." " No one else has seen it." " Where are you with the case?" "You asked us to step it up." "We've got suspects, we're close." "Have you any idea what an accusation like this could do to my career?" "If you're asking if I know what it's like to have my reputation called into question," "I think you know the answer." "Oh, yes!" "I did it!" " I rock!" " Lindsay?" "The car's blue flame was caused by the pigment in Gilmore 171." "Ethanol, methanol and caramel number five, which is totally weird, but I rock anyway." "Ethanol is a drinkable alcohol." "Gilmore 171 is a caramel-coloured liqueur." "Who has access to enough to light the street on fire?" "Gilmore 171 sponsored the party at the Conservatory, Lindsay." "OK, Mr Rodrigue, tell us, who is your favourite Bond villain?" "Dr No?" "Goldfinger?" "Blofeld?" "I don't go to the movies." "I prefer live theatre." "Makes sense with the act you've been doing around town, stealing people's jewellery, personal information." "You and your partner interrupted an important date." "What are you saying?" "My girlfriend went to your butterfly shindig, left to meet me and got a visit from your friend." "Seems every time you throw a party, somebody gets robbed." "Hands in front of you." "I had nothing to do with those robberies." "You drove away from that penthouse and left a trail of Gilmore 171." "We got the delivery log." "You signed for six cases that never showed." "That alcohol was stolen." "Where were you at 2:00am after the party?" " Cleaning up." " Not according to your own company." "So, what happened?" "You let Stanton establish his alibi, followed him, then killed him?" "I wasn't at the party." "OK?" "I was with a tabloid reporter." "I'm a spy." "There, I said it, alright?" "I'm not proud of it, but I spy on my own parties." "Call him, I'll give you the number." "You can clear yourself right now of one robbery or you can wait and we'll get a subpoena for a strip search." "Good choice." "Well, he's clean." "No trace of SmartWater." " Means he's not our guy." " Maybe it's just his parties." "We know James Stanton was a guest at the butterfly party because Maude spotted him arriving at 9:00pm." "He got here around nine." "We also know that Devon's apartment was robbed by James at midnight." "Oh!" "Wait." "Did you hear that?" "James and Gano got into a fight at 1:30am." "Get your hands off me!" "Which means James robbed Devon's spot, then went back to the shindig." "We know that the gang used the parties to establish their alibi." "Now, when we first interviewed Rodrigue at the Conservatory, he said that he was planning the Mayor's benefit - that's tonight." " Stanton's partner will be there." " You got a tux?" "Flack." "Don Flack." "There you are, sir." "Enjoy your evening." "# I wish a falling star could fall forever... #" " The lights, Flack." " Stanton's partner's here." "Cellphones, PDAs, they're being downloaded right now." "Good luck on the SmartWater." "Press photo, sir." "Very nice, sir." "Great." "Thanks." " Anything?" " No." "No trace of SmartWater yet." "Alright, let me know." "I heard when cops work too hard they talk to themselves." " Devon." " I thought you were working." "Is this some sort of undercover thing?" "Say you'll make it up to her." " I'll make this up to you." " Yes, you will." "I think spies are sexy." "Press photo, sir." "Flack, it's the assistant." "Maude." "She's headed toward roulette." "Maude?" "Nice jacket." "Is it hot-wired?" "So, who's the designer?" "Maude?" "Maude!" "NYPD!" "Freeze!" "Is she kidding me?" "Flack!" "This is Flack." "I got a 10-13 in pursuit of a murder suspect." "Suspect's headed west on Park Row." "Employ divertive tactics." "Suspect's heading towards City Hall." "Employ HLS security in five, four, three... two... one... now!" "Oh, my God!" "What?" "You're under arrest." "Give me your hands." "You'd never make it as a Bond girl driving like that." "Oh, Montana, hold up." "What's up?" "No, I got her." "Overtime." "Evidence is coming in on the Stanton murder and we have a date with it." " We got the car?" " I'll go get the Batmobile." " I didn't kill James." " You were the brains, weren't you?" " You don't have anything on me." " Actually, we do." "You took a shower in a chemical proving you were at the robbery." "Come on, Maude." "You dumped his body and took the car." "You get your partner to fund your fancy gadgets." " Knock him off before the take-home?" " No." "Her involvement with the robbery and the fact she was driving the car links her to Stanton." "We don't have anything directly connecting her to his murder." "The air bag didn't deploy." "James Stanton's COD was crush asphyxiation." "Maybe Maude customised the air bag to kill Stanton." "Danny found brake fluid on the street after Maude robbed the loft." "For that much fluid to leak, you have to tamper with the brake caliper." "She wouldn't sabotage the car she's driving." "So who did?" "A "Q" wannabe." "Always behind the scenes, never got to use his own inventions." "A third member who wanted Stanton and Maude killed." " We need the science to prove it." " Yeah." "Here's the Chief now." "Chief Sinclair, is it true?" "Were you having an affair?" "Does your wife know about the email?" "You burned me, Taylor." "You leaked that email to the press." "It did not come from me." "This kind of thing doesn't just go away." "Someone in your lab gave them information." "I hold you accountable." "Know that." "Rough day, Detective Taylor?" "So Mac was right about the air bag." "Normally there are holes to relieve the pressure." "This one, no holes." "It was rigged to an air canister set off by remote control." "Once the air bag was triggered, it shot out the casing at 250 miles an hour, pinning him to the seat." "The air canister kept the air bag inflated to suffocate him." "The air bag was never reattached before Maude crashed." "Sabotaged." "We found capsicum, aka pepper spray which was on the air bag." "Explains how it got in the vic's eyes." "We also found it on the sabotaged brake caliper." "I don't think it was pepper spray." "There was this kid at the car club." "He knew everything about the latest tech and he bites his nails." "That makes him the killer because...?" "Capsicum isn't just in pepper spray, it's also used as a home remedy for nail biting." "Nasty habit." "Cayenne pepper isn't working for you?" " Seems you have a nastier habit." " What are you talking about?" "The cayenne pepper you use to stop your nail biting, you left it and your prints on the brake caliper and air bag." "That doesn't mean anything." "What's funny is that without you, this gang would have never existed." "But, James and Maude didn't get it." "The jacket was awesome, but what you did to that car was genius." "Autotint windows, memory alloy?" "I liked how you rigged the exhaust pipes to handle the alcohol." " How did you keep them from corroding?" " I, er..." "I lined the pipes with a nickel chromium alloy." "It was pretty cool, huh?" "The night of the butterfly party, after Maude gives James instructions, he picks you up, you were the lookout." "The guy I saw after my girlfriend's place was robbed, that was you." "I don't know what you're talking about." "You were with James when he drove back to the party to re-establish his alibi." "You decided you didn't need either one." "When James drove you home, you put your plan into action." "You rigged the air bag to kill James and dumped his body on Bond Street." "Then you sabotaged the brakes to kill Maude." "They just used me." "What was I supposed to do?" "Just let them have all the fun?" "Just once, I wanted to wear the suit." "Get the girl." "They were never going to let that happen." "Mac, Mac!" "I just heard about Sinclair." " How did this happen?" " No idea." "I secured the file." "You showed it to no one?" "No, there's no way anybody could have leaked that." "Could the jacket have sent the file to an external source?" "I disabled it, but I guess it's possible." " Double check everything." " I will." " Luggage Recovery." " Yes, this is Mac Taylor." "My suitcase was delivered with someone else's lock on it." "Let me check that, Mr Taylor." "Sorry." "According to our records, we never located your luggage." " Thank you." " You're welcome."
