"How was your husband handling that?" "Oh, you know, he was OK." "I mean... er... we had to borrow money from his folks to pay the rent." "That was hard on him." "I have to call them." "I haven't called them." " I..." " Mrs Jasper... was your husband an experienced hunter?" "Yes." "Since he was a kid." "He always looked forward to deer season." "But... with the baby an' all... he missed the last few." "It's me... isn't it?" "I encouraged him to go." "I thought that it would help him take his mind off things." "What am I gonna do?" "Can you think of any reason James wasn't wearing his safety vest?" "No." "I mean, he was always... so careful." "It doesn't sound right."

"When you said my name, it felt so right." "Did you feel it too?" "It's easy to wear your heart on your sleeve when you're not looking in his eyes." "He said her name." "So their relationship must have extended beyond the computer." "So, what do we know about this Apollo?" "You know that garbage?" " Those numbers at the bottom of every e-mail?" " Yean" "It's actually a unique number that registers the location of the sender's terminal." " An address?" " Internet protocol address CSI has access" "Seven different IP addresses means he used seven different computers." "That's strange." "Could be a network." "23000 Ganza Avenue, Ely, Nevada."

"Only at these terminals." "All internet activity is strictly monitored." "The blouse comes in Laguna blue, Amazon green or Tahitian red, our most popular colour." "How would you like that shipped?" "UPS?" "Overnight?" "Something tells me state funds aren't your only source of revenue." "We have contracts with several retailers." "Perfectly legal." "So, let me get this straight." "I receive a catalogue in the mail." "I call a toll-free number to place an order, and I'm giving my personal credit card information to a... hello-I'm-doing-time/life operator?" "Once orders are sent to the fulfilment centre, only the retailer has access." "All right." "Let's cut to the chase." "I'm investigating the deaths of two women, one of whom was having a relationship with an inmate." "I need to speak to him." "His e-mail alias is Apollo." " I'll check the log." " That comes to $ 17493" "Thank you for calling" "I'm sorry, I can't help you." " I can get a warrant." " It won't do you much good." "Mickey Rutledge, aka Apollo, was released three days ago." "Hey." "Hey." " How's the glass puzzle going?" " Still putting it together." "I'm just doing a trace on Donna Mark s' clothing and I came across this fibre." "Look at this cross section." "Triangular" "That means it can't be clothing fibre." "Yeah." "Short and coarse." "Car upholstery?" "Yeah, but that still doesn't get us anything." "We found the vics near the freeway." "We've been thinking vehicle transport." "Well, it's from black upholstery." "What colour was the boyfriend's Thunderbird?" "I'll ask him." "And his lawyer." "The blood from his shoe was consistent with Donna Mark s' DNA." "He was at the house." "Really?" "What about the blood from Joan Mark s' shoe?" "Also a match." "Joan and Gavin both stepped in Donna's blood." " Fine." "I went there." " We already know that." "We're looking for, "Fine," "I went there and..."" "My client went there after the fact." "He was looking for his girlfriend." "Didn't find her." "Right." " He found a crime scene." " Broken glass." "A pool of blood." " But you didn't call 911." " I was scared." "I took off." "Besides, there was a restraining order against me." "Gavin, what colour's your car?" " Your missing Thunderbird." " Blue." "Why?" "Interior?" "Black." "Did you find it?" " Not yet." " But we will." "OK." "The tree is a point of reference." "Yeah, and since the bullet didn't hit the tree and the blood's to the west, then the through-and-through defines our search area." "The furthest drop of blood is here." "The spatter seems to be confined to a 45-degree angle." "So the bullet should be somewhere between your rope and mine." "Yeah." "We've reduced a 360-degree crime scene to a 45-degree angle." "Congratulations to us." "It's still a needle in a haystack." "Nick..." "Yeah?" "Let's pack it up." "The bullet couldn't have gone this far." "Hey." "Saw your Tahoe." "I didn't expect to see you guys back here." "Just... uh... tying up a few loose ends." "Maybe this'll help." "James Jasper didn't purchase a hunting licence." "Well, he was out of work." "Maybe he was trying to save money." "A licence is 24 buck s." "Hunting without one is a $1,000 fine and six months in jail." "Ooh!" "Oh, well, that's not worth the risk." "Maybe he wasn't up here to hunt." "We haven't heard a single shot." "Where are these hunters?" "You only hunt deer at dusk and dawn." "Right." "Right." "Feeding time." "It's when they're out in the open." "And other game?" "This time of year, only deer's in season." "Take off those vests if you want." "No-one hunts during the day, but the coroner placed Jasper's time of death at 2pm." "Yeah." "It's an odd time for a hunting accident." "Hey." "Brass is holding the boyfriend on a TRO violation." "I'm going to the lab to process the prints from the toilet seat." "Guy claims he was in and out." "No time to make a pit stop." " I processed the prints." " You did?" " They're not a match to Joan's boyfriend." " What?" "!" "But we do have a match." "Donna's cyber boyfriend." " I thought he was in jail?" " Just released." "His parole officer brought him in." "You're fishing." "I just got out of the joint." "I was never at Donna's." "We found your fingerprints on the toilet seat in her bathroom." "What are you gonna do?" "Arrest me for flushing the toilet?" "Well, unfortunately, I can't arrest you for lying." "Help me out here." "Mickey, you have the right to an attorney, but if you're not hiding anything," "I suggest you answer their questions." "(Sighs)" "Look, we met over the internet." "We had a lot in common." "Donna understood my situation." "When I told her I was getting out... she invited me over." "No-one's ever brought me flowers." "She served takeout." "What do I care?" "It wasn't chipped beef." " How is it?" " Sweet-and-sour pork." "My favourite." "She invites you for lunch." "Everything's great." "And somewhere between the fortune cookies and sunset" "Donna and her sister are both murdered." "Thoughts?" "Huh." "I think the sister's a piece of work." "As soon as we finish eating, she shows up... with an attitude." " This is my house too!" " I'm paying the taxes." "Who the hell's this?" "First thing I learned in the joint - when inmates fight, you make yourself invisible." "I got out." "Six months ago, Donna Marks ordered a sweater and two scarves from Magnolia Apparel." "You took the order." "I took 50 calls a day." "How many of your callers invited you home and served you Chinese food?" "When Donna placed her order for the clothes... she gave you her e-mail address, didn't she?" "Yeah." "She was lonely." "She struck up a conversation with me" "Reached out." "Hey... you know, I don't usually meet girls like Donna." "She was nice." "She was vulnerable." "No social life." "No friends." "Not even a cat." "All she had was her work" "She ordered from catalogues so she had something to look forward to." "You know, Mickey..." "I don't think your intention was to kill." "All of your priors are for non-violent activities, right?" "Look, I've been in the system." "I know the law." "I admit, I was there." "So what?" "You know where to find me." "I'll keep my eye on him." "Joan's boyfriend, Gavin Pallard, blood on his shoe and a TRO." "Donna's boyfriend, Mickey Rutledge, opportunity and a rap sheet." "Both hid the truth until confronted with the evidence." "Well... we know we have two liars." "Do we have a killer?" "Hey." "Point of impact." "It's... uh 65 inches... from the base." " So, what does that tell us?" " Well, Donna was 5' 6"." "If she was thrown through that glass, the point of impact would have been lower." "She had multiple incised wounds." "The only contusion was on her forehead, suggesting that's where contact was made." "So she was upright when she went through the door." "She walked through it." "You saying it was an accident?" " It's your science." " Nice work." "Thanks." "PD found Pallard's Thunderbird hidden off the 169, five miles from the dump site." "Hook up with Auto Detail." "Tow it in." "Radiator's cracked." "That might explain why Joan bought coolant twice in the last week from a convenience store." " We ran her credit cards." " Well... whoever drove this last filled up the radiator fluid, but instead of coolant, they used water." "Either someone unfamiliar with the car or someone in a desperate situation, maybe." "Radiator cap." "I'll print it." "Good." "Grab me a sample of fluid too, will you?" "Gunshot residue." "Expect the unexpected." "GSR on the clothing means the victim was shot at close range." "So now what?" "We're thinking murder?" "Or suicide." "He never fired his rifle." "What did he shoot himself with?" "OK." "But if he was murdered, we should have found some evidence of the killer at the crime scene." "Whoever shot him would have been eyeball to eyeball." "Who could have gotten that close without a struggle?" "Exactly." "It's somebody he knew." "I'm gonna call on Vega." "See if he's checked out Mrs Jasper's alibi." " OK." " I'll meet you at the car." " Hey, Nick." " Hey, Sara." "How's your case going?" "You ever try to print a radiator cap?" "Smudge city." "Yeah." "Yeah, I know." "It's impossible." "But it's just a radiator cap, so..." " give yourself a break." " Thank you." "Sara you gotta get out more." "So you got this water from a radiator?" "Yes." "It ain't no Rocky Mountain spring." " What is it, Greg?" " A nasty sodium count." "Potassium." "Phosphorus." "You've got that look." "What did I say right?" "OK." "Thanks for the info." "We'll keep you posted." "Well, Mrs Jasper's alibi checks out." "She was at work from 10am to 6pm." "Ate lunch at her desk." "She didn't kill her husband." "Murder for hire?" "A pro would have shot him in the heart." "This guy was shot in the gut." "Bullet didn't come close to his spinal cord." "Wait a minute." "Abdominal injuries take time to bleed out." "It would take 10 minutes for haemorrhagic shock to set in." "He would have been mobile." "Right." "But he never moved." "He was in front of this tree when he was shot." "He didn't try to reach his car or get help, he just sat down and waited to die." "Yeah." "Yeah, I see where you're going here." "His injuries and his behaviour aren't consistent with murder, but they're not consistent with suicide either." "99 out of 100 suicides by a gun - muzzle to the mouth, bullet to the brain." "There's always just that one." "Look... suicidals want it quick and painless." "Bleeding to death is slow and painful." "Not to mention he never fired his rifle." "No, the weapon we found was never fired." "That's a big stretch." "He brought his rifle plus a spare?" "He shoots himself in the gut." "Leaving himself time to hide the weapon." "There's no blood trail." "And what did he do with the spare?" "Throw it up a tree?" "How about the lake?" "Yeah." "Yeah, OK." "Heads up." "I've just marked our search area." "You know... even if your theory's right, we still haven't explained the insurance policy purchased by the wife." "(Tapping)" "Hey!" "Metal on metal." " Hold on, let me give you a hand." " OK." "It's right there" "Yean I got it I got it" "Whoa..." "Water pistol." "Well, we never found the bullet, but we found the gun." "Mr Jasper committed suicide." "And the wife's out a million buck s." "Thank you." "Mrs Jasper... you purchased a life insurance policy on your husband, in which you are the sole beneficiary." "I don't know what you're talking about." "We have the actual application for the policy... with your signature." "Ma'am, you are aware that insurance policies exclude suicide?" "Your husband... staged his death... to..." "look like a homicide." "As a beneficiary... if you knew of his intentions to take his own life... that would constitute fraud." "If I knew, I would have stopped him." "Jimmy was everything to me." "I didn't..." "I didn't buy the policy." "I didn't know about his plans." "Hi." "Hi." "Do you wanna explain this?" "Sure." "Mrs Jasper, when you claimed your husband's personal possessions, you signed a release form, yeah?" "I ran that form through our questionable documents lab, and I crosschecked your signature with the signature on the insurance application." "It's not yours." "Your husband must have forged it." "I also checked with the insurance company." "Your husband opened the account." "Why?" "Why?" "I don't understand that." "Why did he do that?" "Because he knew that if he had bought the insurance, it would have sent up a red flag." "So, what you're saying is that my husband... killed himself for me?" "Yes, ma'am." "It may sound funny, but I'm proud of it." "It took a year to put in my new fertigation system." "It mixes the fertiliser with the irrigation system." "How about that?" "Economical and practical." "What you're looking for is over here." "Cars are always overheating on this stretch." "And everyone thinks water is free." "What do you use in your fertiliser?" "Nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium?" "Standard 6-10-10 mixture." "Mr Willoughby... would you mind if I fingerprint your spigot?" "No-one's ever asked me that before." "Thirsty?" "I'm good, thanks." "I wouldn't drink it either." "I wouldn't even put it in my radiator." "I don't have all the pieces yet, Mickey, but..." "I'll tell you what we do have." " You're an ex-con." "Get the hell out!" " Don't listen." "This is my house." "This is my life." "You're so desperate you date through the computer." "Then you end up with him." "Pathetic!" "We know that Joan scratched Donna." "We also know that Donna died first." "I didn't kill her." "That's right." "You didn't." " You are so selfish!" " Get your hands off me!" "Donna's death was an accident." "Oh!" "Aaargh!" "But Joan went off on you." "And up to that point you hadn't done anything wrong" " So what went wrong?" " It wasn't my fault." " She's dead." " You are going back where you came from." "Rehabilitation was working for me." "Put a guy in that position..." "He's got to go all the way." "Aaargh!" "(Neck snaps)" "You figured if you hid the bodies, you'd be in the clear." "But you didn't nave a car" "Joan did." "You could have just backed off." "Let Joan make the call." "I would have landed myself right back in the joint." " You don't know that." " Come on." "Who's gonna believe a guy like me?" "A guy like me." "Hey, it's Sara." "I was thinking..." "You wanna go out... somewhere?"
