On this week’s episode of CSI: NY the episode opens up with a young man covered in blood and laying in the street, but with no physical signs of being injured. His wallet, credit cards and other valuables are not missing, so it’s clear that it was not a mugging.
The CSI team is baffled by the crime scene and turn to hardcore forensics to help solve the mystery. Yet even after the victim is brought in an examined closely they are still unable to find any evidence of a poison or viral infection that could have caused the man to bleed to death.
Hawkes feels guilty about the man’s death because as he was volunteering for the Central Park medical unit he had come across the man. He angrily wrote off the man’s nose bleeding s something minor because he knew the man had been drinking. He believes if he would have been more thorough in his analysis of the symptoms that he might have been able to save the victim’s life.
They uncover that the victim was the CEO of a computer software company that has recently filed bankruptcy. They initially believe he was poisoned by a young woman he was recently seen with in the park, which leads them to a sexual party called “splashing,” which uses food as a sexual stimulant, to find more clues. Finally they obtain a clue left behind in a glass of orange juice that helps them discover the type of poison that killed the man. The investigation stumbles again as the woman they thought was behind the man’s death turns up poisoned herself.
Stella eventually discovers that the CEO had lost all of his money, as well as his employees’ pension funds. They run down one employee who is extremely devastated by the company’s financial ruin. The man blamed the CEO for squandering all his money and decided to poison his boss in an act of revenge. With the man ready to jump from a building to his death, Hawkes reveals that he, like the killer, has lost everything from being swindled by a con artist which caused him to lose focus on his job.
This particular episode meticulously takes the viewer through the process of how they figure out who did the crime, and how it was done in the first place.
