His pulse rate is 120 and rising.
We need to get him to an er.

I was just working
in the garage, man,
And something blew up in my hand.
You think they can put
my fingers back on?
Well, the good news is,
you brought them with you.
So, what was it that exploded?
A volcano...
They're not getting my fingers.
Mr. Demarcus? Huh?
I need to examine your injuries.
Okay. Do you remember
The accident on stage?
No, no.
You received an electrical
shock from your guitar.
No.
May I see your hands?
You can see whatever you want to.
You're gorgeous.
And you're married.
I'm not married;
I'm not the marrying kind.
You want to kiss me, don't you?
Uh, catherine?
Is the guy from rascal
flatts hitting on you?
Mmm.
I've only seen lichtenberg figures
On electric and phone
company workers.
You can't get ferning
from 110 volts.
This was no accident.
Where did you put my pants, honey?
Jay. Dude, what happened?
You scared us to death.
Jay, it's us.
Joe don and-and gary.
Sorry about the fight, all right?
Should've never happened,
but, you know,
It's always just
been the three of us.
What the hell is that noise?
oh, noise?
Dude, you wrote that song.
I hate country music.
I was feeling bad for you.
Man, you just won't
let it go, will you?
Dude, I don't even
know who you are.
I think he means it.
A neurologist is on the way.
I'm catherine willows
from the crime lab.
I need to finish processing him.
We can talk later?
That's more like it.
? ?
? who... Are you? ?
? who, who, who, who? ?
? who... Are you? ?
? who, who, who, who? ?
? I really wanna know ?
? who... Are you? ?
? oh-oh-oh ? ? who... ?
? come on, tell me who
are you, you, you ?
? are you! ?
Spotted the body on
a routine patrol.
He was caught in the reeds;
figured I shouldn't touch him.
Judging from the bloating,
He's been in the water
at least 24 hours.
There is a deep
horizontal laceration
Approximately five inches long
Just above his right ear.
Fishing vest, fishing pants.
Boating accident?
Hit his head?
Uh, usually there's an empty
boat to go along with that.
Uh, no boat or fishing equipment.
No wallet.
Silver cigar case.
Cuban cigar.
Lighter.
He may have been military.
Special forces guys in
vietnam really went in
For this kind of gruesome imagery.
It's an interesting watch.
"luftwaffe."
Nazi air force.
That's an iron cross.
"kampfgeschwader."
Geschwader.
Oh, flight squadron.
This watch could've been
worn by a german pilot
During the second world war.
Maybe he's a tourist.
Somehow, I doubt it,
Unless his initials are cia.
Are you guys with, uh,
Occupational security hazard,
whatever it is?
No, we're with the crime lab.
Yeah, we're here to
collect jay's guitar.
Well, I-I called osha,
and they're supposed to be
Sending somebody out to check for
faulty wiring in this building.
That's the only way he
could've been shocked.
And why would you think
something like that?
I'm travis murray;
I'm jay's bass tech.
I take care of his equipment.
I do a shock test
before every concert.
Oh, okay. Yeah,
that's why the wiring
In this building's
got to be jacked.
It fried most of our wireless
equipment before the show,
And that's why we had to cable jay.
Then zap! Huh.
Where is jay's guitar?
Ma'am, I'm not authorized
to give that up.
Th-that's buddy's call.
Who's buddy? He's the band manager.
Buddy?
I'm not a waitress, travis.
It's osha.
What took you folks so long?
No, you know,
actually it's not osha.
They're, uh, they're cops.
She was at the, uh,
the hospital last night.
Gentlemen, we're here
to collect jay's guitar,
His amp, his mic,
his rack, all that.
Well, this doesn't sound very good.
Jay's injuries are not
consistent with an accident.
What are they consistent with?
Intentional electrocution.
You're saying that
somebody actually
Tried to hurt jay on purpose?
Why don't you tell us about
the fight you guys had?
I mean, what's there to tell?
Families fight.
That's just something that happens.
You know, at least once a tour.
It's no big deal.
And did you have one of
those fights last night?
That's none of your business.
Well, I'm making it my business,
how about that?
All right,
Uh...
Joe don, why don't you tell us?
Well, uh, jay wants to do
his own project, you know?
He told us, uh, he wanted to take
A little time away from the band
and threw it on us last night.
And we didn't think it was very cool,
so we tried to kill him.
Dude, they're cops.
Okay, how about you
give us jay's equipment?
Uh... Yes, yes.
You give these folks
whatever they need
And none of your damn lip.
Buddy, lighten up a little bit.
You know what,
we're all rascal flatts here,
You know, even though
jay can't remember.
Cod?
Got a laundry list of
what didn't kill him.
No water on the lungs,
no water on the stomach.
He didn't drown.
Head wound was
severe but not fatal.
This man had cancer.
Prostate, stage four.
It migrated
To his liver, colon and stomach.
But it's not cod.
Nope, it's undetermined
pending tox.
Let's start clipping.
? ?
My father liked to fish.
He never took me with him.
Maybe he felt you
were crowding him.
Hmm, not true.
I think he just liked
his alone time.
My mother and I would bake cookies.
Your father ever take you fishing?
Fishing?
No.
Hey, head wound wasn't accidental.
Gravitational blood on the shirt
Indicates that he was
standing when he was hit.
There was no blood on the
outside of the vest,
Only transfer on the inside.
He was dressed after the event.
Someone wants us to think
it was an accident.
Willows.
It's craig halliday.
Associate director,
central intelligence agency.
That's right, cia.
I heard the pause.
Listen, I'm sitting
here in my office,
And I just happened to notice
that csi raymond langston
Is running the fingerprints
Of former deputy director
of operations vance colton.
That old goat didn't get
caught with trick dice, did he?
Before I give you any information,
I'll need to verify your identity.
Good job.
You'd be surprised how
many people don't ask.
You call langley,
They'll route you through to me.
Headquarters is
expecting your call.
Hi, catherine.
So, you were saying?
My team is investigating a floater
Recovered from lake mead
Early this morning.
A floater, huh?
Like a dead fish?
As in a dead human being.
Male caucasian, 70s.
Does that sound like
your vance colton?
Well, catherine, this falls under
National security protocols,
meaning I'm taking the body
And all logs, reports, evidence
And whatnot that your
team has collected.
If the victim is
deputy director colton,
His body is the property of
the clark county coroner.
You will need to contact them.
As for the "whatnot," you'll
need to put it in writing to me.
Whoa, there, yikes.
Uh, catherine, I'm not trying
to dance on anybody's feet here.
How about a collaboration?
In exchange for helping
your government,
How about I give you something
you won't get otherwise?
I've seen access denied,
but access restricted?
Denied is "get lost."
Restricted-- that's like a
fence you want to climb over.
That fence surrounds the cia.
Your floater's name
is vance colton.
That would explain the
pocket full of memories.
Oh, here he is.
Vance colton, deputy
director of operations.
Central intelligence agency,
1976 to 1983.
"as deputy director,
"he oversaw covert operations
on four continents.
"high point of his career
was operation blackwood.
"colton conceived and
successfully conducted
Operation blackwood against
the east german stasi."
East german stasi?
Bad guys.
Well, the cia
Is taking the body and
all our evidence, so...
We made copies of everything.
Do we get anything in return?
Colton's home address.
And maybe the primary.
Put down the saw!
Step away from the guitar.
You were about to commit murder
On an immaculate '62 fender
jazz bass with the original
Factory paint. So, what?
For someone from the
great state of texas,
You show very little respect
for a true american art form.
Hey, just 'cause I'm from texas
Doesn't mean I like country music.
This, nick, is a solid body guitar.
Do you mind? Please.
What you see is what you get.
You ever hear of the yardbirds?
Oh, come on, clapton,
page, beck, relf?
Of course I have.
Back in 1976,
practicing for a reunion
in his basement,
Keith relf did not
properly ground his guitar,
And he killed himself.
If this guitar was sabotaged,
we'd see shaved wires.
Well, if it was just a short,
these two pot resistors
Would show residue
from the ozone flash.
There's not even any burned skin
To the strings.
I think we're doing
A guitar-topsy on the
wrong guitar, buddy.
One of those rascal flatts
boys is jerking us around.
Dr. Langston.
And, uh, catherine? Sara.
Sidle. Oh, csi three,
and a very good one.
Craig halliday,
Associate director, cia,
but you know that.
And how do you know me?
Sorry. They beat it into us
from day one of training.
You never meet any stranger
you don't already know.
Agent halliday... Actually,
We recruit agents;
we're called officers.
Your officers
Are corrupting a
potential crime scene.
Catherine told me
ddo colton drowned.
She didn't tell you that.
We are investigating his
death as a probable homicide.
Aw, hell.
Oh... Offer a favor and
I screw it up, huh?
You can fix it by pulling
back your officers.
Well, I would if I could,
But you see,
federal statute demands
That any investigation of
the death of one of our own,
The crime scene be turned over
to the agency for 24 hours
In order to secure
any and all whatnot
Pertaining to national security.
But 24 hours is for slowpokes.
I'm out of your way
in less than two.
Since when is a mattress
national security?
Travis, why'd you give
the man the wrong guitar?
I gave him the guitar case.
I-I thought jay's bass was
in it because I put it there
After I finished
playing with y'all.
Okay, so which one
of these shocked him?
None of them.
I put that one in the case.
Okay, so where is jay's guitar?
Is it missing or what?
I don't know what to tell you.
Well, you better tell me something.
You know, this is
Starting to look a lot like
a conspiracy to me, fellas.
Don't look at me like that.
Like what? I'm not even looking
At you, man. Yeah,
then why am I sweating?
You tell me.
Look, our security team
Would've stopped somebody
leaving with jay's guitar.
Look, guys, if you want
to can me, I get it.
You're not going anywhere.
We got a concert tonight and jay
still doesn't know who he is.
Look, we have no show without jay.
Figure it out, boys.
I'm going to talk to security.
I wonder what this
place would look like
If they weren't
cooperating with us.
If vance colton was murdered,
Why would the cia
want to cover it up?
Maybe they were
looking for something
Here in the house.
Something...
They thought the killer was after.
If they were looking
for something specific,
Why not just take it?
I mean, we would never know.
They took everything.
They either didn't know
what they were looking for,
Or they didn't want anyone to
know what they were taking.
One canoe missing,
one paddle missing.
Colton was dressed to
go out on the water.
Could be the primary.
Freshly split logs,
No axe.
Got green-painted
Plastic fragments,
possibly polyethylene.
Same color and composition
as these two canoes.
If these are from
the missing canoe,
Then it has a hole in it.
An ax could put a hole in this,
In which case both the ax
And the canoe are probably
at the bottom of the lake.
Maybe not, actually.
Canoes today are made with
flotation devices on each end.
Grissom and I take canoe trips.
We went looking for bugs in
a canoe on our honeymoon.
Uh, point is
That, um, canoes today
don't always sink.
I got drag marks here.
Green paint transfer.
Why would a guy like colton
Drag his canoe to the dock
every time he used it?
And if he did do that,
wouldn't there be
A lot more drag marks here?
Negative.
All right, what if colton
Was in the canoe before it
was dragged to the water?
Killer launches him from the dock,
Assuming that he'll drift away and sink,
leaving no evidence.
Just got off the phone
with the head porter
At the palermo center.
One of his guys saw
some crazy groupie chick
Dumpster-diving last night.
Thought the web site on her
t-shirt was pretty funny.
That is pretty funny.
Yeah. I checked the site,
She's been blogging
about jay's guitar.
Are you marta petrovich?
Yeah.
We have a warrant to
search your apartment.
Well, what are you looking for?
Uh, we heard about your guitar.
We'd really love to see it.
Oh! Well, you don't need
no warrant for that.
I'd love to show it off.
Come on, come on.
Come on.
Okay...
Wow. So nice.
Yeah. Ah!
When I found it in the dumpster,
I just about died.
I love them so much.
The problem is that
guitar is evidence
In an attempted
murder investigation.
Yeah, and you know,
you could be a hero,
Helping to solve a really big case
Involving rascal flatts.
Yeah, and I'm sure the
band would be happy
To reward it to you
when we're done.
Yeah, do you, uh,
mind if I step on your couch?
Uh, I-I guess so...
J-j-just look, don't touch!
I mean, jay's fingers
are still on it.
Oh, boy, yeah, I hope so.
Don't you, greg?
Mm-hmm. Hmm-hmm.
I hate to break it to you, sweetie,
But, uh, this guitar
is coming with us.
No, no, no, no, it's mine.
Yeah, I'm really sorry. I found it!
No, you can't do this!
Maybe we can get you an autograph.
But I already have
their autographs.
At our headquarters,
We have a whole food
court in the basement.
I always get a kick out
of the idea that the girl
Serving the burgers has to
have security clearance.
Craig halliday, associate director.
You're jim brass.
That's right.
So, uh, what do you need from me,
mr. Halliday?
Well, I think that you
need something from me.
Oh, yeah? An apology.
I offered csi my full cooperation,
And I hate always
being the bad guy.
Ah, don't worry about it,
I'm always the bad guy around here.
Oh, yeah? So, anything else
You want to get off your chest?
Captain, larry colton to see you.
No, I've achieved what I came for.
Your father was a great patriot.
I'm here to sign whatever
there is to sign and go home.
You know, I don't think I'm
gonna let you see the body.
It's, uh, it's not
a good idea really.
I haven't seen my father in 20 years,
I couldn't care less.
Mmm, I know that he
loved you very much.
My father hated me.
You know that; it's in my file.
Just by sitting here,
he's already started a file on you.
So, besides you, any other haters?
All five of his wives.
The thousands of people he had
killed and everyone in between.
Ah, if only we could kill
them by the thousands.
The problem with
killing our enemies
Is that you can't spy
on them after that.
Just want to let the family know,
the agency is behind you.
Hmm, your way of saying that
you're sharpening the daggers,
Screwing on the silencers
and that the foreign flunky
Who took out my father is about
to get capped as payback.
Executive order 11-905
forbids the agency
From engaging in assassination.
Okay, on that note,
Have you seen what you needed?
Because, uh, I think I
can handle it from here.
Captain brass.
Good-bye, mr. Halliday.
Tire tracks look
like they were made
By suburbans. Three of them.
Two miles from the house,
A mile from where we
found the body.
And look, green paint transfer.
Colton's canoe washed up here.
Halliday beat us here.
Halliday spooks?
That's not a suburban.
I'll call it in.
Can I help you with something?
Gun!
I'm reaching for my identification.
This doesn't have to be
an international incident.
You're with the german consulate.
As consulate officials,
We are protected by
diplomatic immunity.
Why don't you be diplomatic
and toss the guns out?
This car is german soil.
You have no jurisdiction
inside of it,
Including us.
My passport.
This is a bunch of crap.
Yes, but he's telling the truth.
For your information, gentlemen,
It's illegal to shoot fish
in the state of nevada.
Auf wiedersehen.
So, even though we're
on a secure network,
Someone hacked hodges' computer.
Why me? Well, maybe it's because
You like to surf more outside sites
Than anyone else in the lab.
It's all research.
Archie, can't you just trace
the source of the hack?
With enough time.
Well, if I'm not needed,
I need to go delete
some personal files.
The book certainly
starts off with a bang.
A word-for-word transcript
of a telephone conversation
Between the east german secret
police and nettie moller.
She's like their german obama.
They say she's gonna win the
election by a landslide.
Well, she won't if this gets out.
During the 1970s,
moller was a double agent,
Recruiting agents for the
cia and betraying them
To the east german
stasi for execution.
You know, if we have a
copy of this memoir,
It's not a stretch to
think that the germans
And the cia had it first.
You can say anything you
want to say in a book,
But colton had to be working
from a tape when he wrote this.
Halliday, the house, the germans.
The tape is what they
were looking for.
A tape worth killing for.
Yes.
Well, it's a decent
theory for a spy novel.
What do we have in
the way of evidence?
Cod? Nothing yet.
Still waiting for tox.
Pots are fried,
But no shaved wires.
This is the right guitar but
not the source of the shock.
If it's not his guitar,
Then it's gotta be
his mic or his amp.
Well, yee-haw.
The ground on the amp
has been removed.
Without grounds,
the circuit breaker's
Not gonna pop, you are.
Yeah, but that alone's not
enough to cause electrocution.
Well, the power comes from
the amp into the guitar
And through jay to his mic,
Where jay's lips close the circuit.
Xlr plug's been singed.
This is part of the
circuit that shocked jay.
But there's not enough
voltage from a 110
To leave fern patterns
on his arms like that.
220 had to come from somewhere.
Well, the venue runs on 220.
All somebody had to do
was sabotage a 110 box
So 220 could run through it.
Here you go,
this is 220 right here.
Once whoever did this linked the
220 to the sabotaged 110,
It sent the 220 directly into jay.
And without a breaker
to protect him,
As soon as his lips touch the mic,
Jay fries.
? when your heart
is full of doubt ?
? and you think that
there's no way out ?
? you find your faith has
been lost and shaken... ?
So, wait a minute,
why didn't jay get zapped
When the concert started?
When his lips
First touched that mic?
I don't know.
But whoever's responsible for
this had to rig this box.
So maybe there's some
prints on the inside.
If we get an id,
we'll ask him ourselves.
Henry, what do you have for me?
Well, I ran an expanded
tox panel on vance colton,
All the normal drugs of abuse
and poisons were negative.
Not even the cancer drugs.
No, he wasn't taking
any medications.
The man had stage four cancer.
Then he must've stopped treatment.
All right, try these.
Aconitine, succinylcholine,
Fluphenazine and sarin.
I've never heard of aconitine.
Fluphenazine is a psychotropic.
Sarin's a binary chemical weapon.
Saddam used it against
the kurds in the '80s.
But I thought the united
nations banned production
And stockpiling of
all chemical weapons.
Correct, but all four compounds
Are mentioned here
in colton's memoir.
Tools of the spy trade.
Okay, backed the last
zombie to the source.
Hodges' printer was hacked here,
In vegas.
German consulate or
halliday's office?
Coffee shop at the
blue siren motel.
That's not very 007.
I mean, it figures the
colton kid was lying to us.
He's been registered
here for four nights.
Which means he checked in a day
before his father was killed.
Yeah, the manager says he
may still be in his room.
The door is open.
He's dead.
Well, they tossed the room,
Probably looking for that tape.
And his computer's gone.
Control, this is captain brass.
We have a 419 down at
the blue siren motel.
Send backup...
And the coroner's wagon.
The germans want us to know
they didn't kill vance colton.
And they also want us to know
they killed his son.
you call my mother
a whore in print,
You say I'm a bastard.
It's just more of your lies.
She was a whore,
You don't exist,
and I'm going fishing.
Larry died believing he'd
killed his father.
He sent us the manuscript
To deflect suspicion from
himself onto the germans.
From colton's vest,
we always assumed
That colton was on the dock
because he was going fishing.
But there's no fishing
equipment here.
Colton took down the canoe.
So, he planned to
go out on the water
Before larry put him there.
But if larry hadn't been there,
What was going to happen next?
Vance colton was
going to die anyway.
By whose hand?
That's what's bothering me.
I bet if we dug a little deeper,
We'd find out that
when larry was a boy,
He wanted to be just like his father,
even though he hated him.
You always see something of
both parents in yourself.
Even if it's more than
you'd like to admit.
Hey, I got your cod,
And it's right out of james bond.
Just call me "h."
You get it? 'cause "m"
and the "h"... "h," "q,"
Yeah. Special branch-- I get it.
Right, I-I tested all the
poisons from the memoir,
And you're negative
on the first three.
Which leaves sarin.
It was first created by the germans
As a super pesticide
until world war ii
When they discovered it was very
effective at killing people.
Back to the germans.
These levels of sarin you
found in vance colton
Should have killed him instantly.
Which suggests the
poison was administered
When he was already in the canoe.
Yeah, but out on the
lake and out cold?
Why didn't they just shoot him?
That's a good point.
Henry, is there a way to make sarin
Not instantaneously lethal?
Well, it's a clear liquid,
So I suppose it's possible
to put it in a capsule.
Which means it would take
some time to dissolve
Before it entered the system,
so he could've
Ingested it before he
was out on the dock.
This doesn't make any sense.
Yes, but catherine asked for cod.
That she did.
I'll tell her.
Dr. Ray? You think I could read
The rest of colton's book?
I love spy thrillers.
No. I'm going to return
this to its author.
I'd offer to buy you a drink,
but you already got one.
Can I have a scotch? Okay.
It needs to be a new bottle sure.
With the seal unbroken. You got it.
Seriously?
I'm just kidding.
Thanks for calling me and...
And bringing me this.
Sometimes old men forget
the promises they made,
And secrets must remain just that.
I think colton kept his promises,
Which is why you gave him
exactly what he wanted.
What was it that he wanted?
His way out of this world.
Yeah, drowning sure
is a tough way to go.
So is cancer.
So is blunt force trauma.
With sons like that,
who needs enemies, huh?
Cheers.
We both know what killed him
was the sarin you gave him.
Sarin?
They don't even make
that stuff anymore.
Germans still make it. Hmm.
You put colton back in business.
You had him write the memoir.
You provided the moller tape.
If there ever was a moller tape.
If someone believes there's a tape,
there's a tape.
I believe that colton
Posted the manuscript
on the internet,
Knowing that the
germans would read it.
No, I don't think so,
because colton was retired.
He was dying of cancer.
I doubt that he cared
about german politics.
He cared about his legacy.
He didn't want to come in from
the cold and die a sick, old man.
He wanted to go out a hero,
Poisoned by his old enemies
fighting for his country.
So you helped an old
friend commit suicide.
Well, dr. Langston, you like the...
Extra spin around the block,
Uh, goes beyond the cut-and-dry
Microscoped answer from the
green paint chips of life.
You know where I work,
That block has an
unlimited horizon.
Are you offering me a job?
Have you found one yet that fits?
Well, my mistake.
Thanks for the drink.
Did your father ever talk to
you about his time in vietnam?
It was an odd place to take leave
With a war staring us in the face.
Or maybe you two
weren't that close?
There he is right there.
Just hang on a second.
How's it going, fellas?
Mr. Murray?
I think you know why I'm here.
Man, we got a show to do.
Yeah, not with him, you're not.
He's the one that
sabotaged jay's equipment.
What?!
Travis?
Why would you do
something like that?
I just meant to give
him a little jolt
So I... So I could do the one song.
Travis, all you had to do was ask.
I... Don't-don't you guys see?
I'm getting old.
Th-th-the show was over
after this tour for me.
Joe don: Jay. Gary: Hey, jay!
Jay, I...
I didn't mean for this
to get so out of control.
Man, you lit me up
like a christmas tree,
And you smoked my best guitar.
Why would you do that?
I'm sorry, man.
What did I do to you? I'm sorry.
Are you back?
Look at me.
You recognize me?
A face like yours, as ugly as it is,
it's hard to forget.
Oh, yeah, laugh if you
Want to, but I'm the one that's
Sitting there been covering
for you this entire time.
Hey, right back at you,
big boy. Hey, guys.
I wrote a new song while
I was in the hospital.
It's a little bit different.
You're gonna have to follow me.
You guys stick around.
We're going to have
some fun tonight.
Okay.
Enjoy yourselves tonight.
Hey, las vegas! How y'all feeling?
As most of you know,
cousin jay got a little shocked
Last night on stage.
And, um... He's feeling better.
He doesn't look any better
but he's feeling better.
Ladies and gentlemen,
jay demarcus. He's back!
thank you.
I got a little song
I wrote for you.
You guys just follow along,
we'll do this.
Y'all ready?
okay. Here we go.
Kick it off.

Jay. Hey, jay. Excuse me.
Miss?
Miss, I'm gonna need
you to stand back.
Miss, I told you to get back.
His pulse rate is 120 and rising.
We need to get him to an er.
Okay, you know all our songs,
you go out there.
No.
Come on, travis.
Come on, give him a bass.
Come on, travis, get out there!
Here you go.

Joe don: Looks like

I was just working
in the garage, man,
And something blew up in my hand.
You think they can put
my fingers back on?
Well, the good news is,
you brought them with you.
So, what was it that exploded?
A volcano...
They're not getting my fingers.
Mr. Demarcus? Huh?
I need to examine your injuries.
Okay. Do you remember
The accident on stage?
No, no.
You received an electrical
shock from your guitar.
No.
May I see your hands?
You can see whatever you want to.
You're gorgeous.
And you're married.
I'm not married;
I'm not the marrying kind.
You want to kiss me, don't you?
Uh, catherine?
Is the guy from rascal
flatts hitting on you?
Mmm.
I've only seen lichtenberg figures
On electric and phone
company workers.
You can't get ferning
from 110 volts.
This was no accident.
Where did you put my pants, honey?
Jay. Dude, what happened?
You scared us to death.
Jay, it's us.
Joe don and-and gary.
Sorry about the fight, all right?
Should've never happened,
but, you know,
It's always just
been the three of us.
What the hell is that noise?
oh, noise?
Dude, you wrote that song.
I hate country music.
I was feeling bad for you.
Man, you just won't
let it go, will you?
Dude, I don't even
know who you are.
I think he means it.
A neurologist is on the way.
I'm catherine willows
from the crime lab.
I need to finish processing him.
We can talk later?
That's more like it.
? ?
? who... Are you? ?
? who, who, who, who? ?
? who... Are you? ?
? who, who, who, who? ?
? I really wanna know ?
? who... Are you? ?
? oh-oh-oh ? ? who... ?
? come on, tell me who
are you, you, you ?
? are you! ?
Spotted the body on
a routine patrol.
He was caught in the reeds;
figured I shouldn't touch him.
Judging from the bloating,
He's been in the water
at least 24 hours.
There is a deep
horizontal laceration
Approximately five inches long
Just above his right ear.
Fishing vest, fishing pants.
Boating accident?
Hit his head?
Uh, usually there's an empty
boat to go along with that.
Uh, no boat or fishing equipment.
No wallet.
Silver cigar case.
Cuban cigar.
Lighter.
He may have been military.
Special forces guys in
vietnam really went in
For this kind of gruesome imagery.
It's an interesting watch.
"luftwaffe."
Nazi air force.
That's an iron cross.
"kampfgeschwader."
Geschwader.
Oh, flight squadron.
This watch could've been
worn by a german pilot
During the second world war.
Maybe he's a tourist.
Somehow, I doubt it,
Unless his initials are cia.
Are you guys with, uh,
Occupational security hazard,
whatever it is?
No, we're with the crime lab.
Yeah, we're here to
collect jay's guitar.
Well, I-I called osha,
and they're supposed to be
Sending somebody out to check for
faulty wiring in this building.
That's the only way he
could've been shocked.
And why would you think
something like that?
I'm travis murray;
I'm jay's bass tech.
I take care of his equipment.
I do a shock test
before every concert.
Oh, okay. Yeah,
that's why the wiring
In this building's
got to be jacked.
It fried most of our wireless
equipment before the show,
And that's why we had to cable jay.
Then zap! Huh.
Where is jay's guitar?
Ma'am, I'm not authorized
to give that up.
Th-that's buddy's call.
Who's buddy? He's the band manager.
Buddy?
I'm not a waitress, travis.
It's osha.
What took you folks so long?
No, you know,
actually it's not osha.
They're, uh, they're cops.
She was at the, uh,
the hospital last night.
Gentlemen, we're here
to collect jay's guitar,
His amp, his mic,
his rack, all that.
Well, this doesn't sound very good.
Jay's injuries are not
consistent with an accident.
What are they consistent with?
Intentional electrocution.
You're saying that
somebody actually
Tried to hurt jay on purpose?
Why don't you tell us about
the fight you guys had?
I mean, what's there to tell?
Families fight.
That's just something that happens.
You know, at least once a tour.
It's no big deal.
And did you have one of
those fights last night?
That's none of your business.
Well, I'm making it my business,
how about that?
All right,
Uh...
Joe don, why don't you tell us?
Well, uh, jay wants to do
his own project, you know?
He told us, uh, he wanted to take
A little time away from the band
and threw it on us last night.
And we didn't think it was very cool,
so we tried to kill him.
Dude, they're cops.
Okay, how about you
give us jay's equipment?
Uh... Yes, yes.
You give these folks
whatever they need
And none of your damn lip.
Buddy, lighten up a little bit.
You know what,
we're all rascal flatts here,
You know, even though
jay can't remember.
Cod?
Got a laundry list of
what didn't kill him.
No water on the lungs,
no water on the stomach.
He didn't drown.
Head wound was
severe but not fatal.
This man had cancer.
Prostate, stage four.
It migrated
To his liver, colon and stomach.
But it's not cod.
Nope, it's undetermined
pending tox.
Let's start clipping.
? ?
My father liked to fish.
He never took me with him.
Maybe he felt you
were crowding him.
Hmm, not true.
I think he just liked
his alone time.
My mother and I would bake cookies.
Your father ever take you fishing?
Fishing?
No.
Hey, head wound wasn't accidental.
Gravitational blood on the shirt
Indicates that he was
standing when he was hit.
There was no blood on the
outside of the vest,
Only transfer on the inside.
He was dressed after the event.
Someone wants us to think
it was an accident.
Willows.
It's craig halliday.
Associate director,
central intelligence agency.
That's right, cia.
I heard the pause.
Listen, I'm sitting
here in my office,
And I just happened to notice
that csi raymond langston
Is running the fingerprints
Of former deputy director
of operations vance colton.
That old goat didn't get
caught with trick dice, did he?
Before I give you any information,
I'll need to verify your identity.
Good job.
You'd be surprised how
many people don't ask.
You call langley,
They'll route you through to me.
Headquarters is
expecting your call.
Hi, catherine.
So, you were saying?
My team is investigating a floater
Recovered from lake mead
Early this morning.
A floater, huh?
Like a dead fish?
As in a dead human being.
Male caucasian, 70s.
Does that sound like
your vance colton?
Well, catherine, this falls under
National security protocols,
meaning I'm taking the body
And all logs, reports, evidence
And whatnot that your
team has collected.
If the victim is
deputy director colton,
His body is the property of
the clark county coroner.
You will need to contact them.
As for the "whatnot," you'll
need to put it in writing to me.
Whoa, there, yikes.
Uh, catherine, I'm not trying
to dance on anybody's feet here.
How about a collaboration?
In exchange for helping
your government,
How about I give you something
you won't get otherwise?
I've seen access denied,
but access restricted?
Denied is "get lost."
Restricted-- that's like a
fence you want to climb over.
That fence surrounds the cia.
Your floater's name
is vance colton.
That would explain the
pocket full of memories.
Oh, here he is.
Vance colton, deputy
director of operations.
Central intelligence agency,
1976 to 1983.
"as deputy director,
"he oversaw covert operations
on four continents.
"high point of his career
was operation blackwood.
"colton conceived and
successfully conducted
Operation blackwood against
the east german stasi."
East german stasi?
Bad guys.
Well, the cia
Is taking the body and
all our evidence, so...
We made copies of everything.
Do we get anything in return?
Colton's home address.
And maybe the primary.
Put down the saw!
Step away from the guitar.
You were about to commit murder
On an immaculate '62 fender
jazz bass with the original
Factory paint. So, what?
For someone from the
great state of texas,
You show very little respect
for a true american art form.
Hey, just 'cause I'm from texas
Doesn't mean I like country music.
This, nick, is a solid body guitar.
Do you mind? Please.
What you see is what you get.
You ever hear of the yardbirds?
Oh, come on, clapton,
page, beck, relf?
Of course I have.
Back in 1976,
practicing for a reunion
in his basement,
Keith relf did not
properly ground his guitar,
And he killed himself.
If this guitar was sabotaged,
we'd see shaved wires.
Well, if it was just a short,
these two pot resistors
Would show residue
from the ozone flash.
There's not even any burned skin
To the strings.
I think we're doing
A guitar-topsy on the
wrong guitar, buddy.
One of those rascal flatts
boys is jerking us around.
Dr. Langston.
And, uh, catherine? Sara.
Sidle. Oh, csi three,
and a very good one.
Craig halliday,
Associate director, cia,
but you know that.
And how do you know me?
Sorry. They beat it into us
from day one of training.
You never meet any stranger
you don't already know.
Agent halliday... Actually,
We recruit agents;
we're called officers.
Your officers
Are corrupting a
potential crime scene.
Catherine told me
ddo colton drowned.
She didn't tell you that.
We are investigating his
death as a probable homicide.
Aw, hell.
Oh... Offer a favor and
I screw it up, huh?
You can fix it by pulling
back your officers.
Well, I would if I could,
But you see,
federal statute demands
That any investigation of
the death of one of our own,
The crime scene be turned over
to the agency for 24 hours
In order to secure
any and all whatnot
Pertaining to national security.
But 24 hours is for slowpokes.
I'm out of your way
in less than two.
Since when is a mattress
national security?
Travis, why'd you give
the man the wrong guitar?
I gave him the guitar case.
I-I thought jay's bass was
in it because I put it there
After I finished
playing with y'all.
Okay, so which one
of these shocked him?
None of them.
I put that one in the case.
Okay, so where is jay's guitar?
Is it missing or what?
I don't know what to tell you.
Well, you better tell me something.
You know, this is
Starting to look a lot like
a conspiracy to me, fellas.
Don't look at me like that.
Like what? I'm not even looking
At you, man. Yeah,
then why am I sweating?
You tell me.
Look, our security team
Would've stopped somebody
leaving with jay's guitar.
Look, guys, if you want
to can me, I get it.
You're not going anywhere.
We got a concert tonight and jay
still doesn't know who he is.
Look, we have no show without jay.
Figure it out, boys.
I'm going to talk to security.
I wonder what this
place would look like
If they weren't
cooperating with us.
If vance colton was murdered,
Why would the cia
want to cover it up?
Maybe they were
looking for something
Here in the house.
Something...
They thought the killer was after.
If they were looking
for something specific,
Why not just take it?
I mean, we would never know.
They took everything.
They either didn't know
what they were looking for,
Or they didn't want anyone to
know what they were taking.
One canoe missing,
one paddle missing.
Colton was dressed to
go out on the water.
Could be the primary.
Freshly split logs,
No axe.
Got green-painted
Plastic fragments,
possibly polyethylene.
Same color and composition
as these two canoes.
If these are from
the missing canoe,
Then it has a hole in it.
An ax could put a hole in this,
In which case both the ax
And the canoe are probably
at the bottom of the lake.
Maybe not, actually.
Canoes today are made with
flotation devices on each end.
Grissom and I take canoe trips.
We went looking for bugs in
a canoe on our honeymoon.
Uh, point is
That, um, canoes today
don't always sink.
I got drag marks here.
Green paint transfer.
Why would a guy like colton
Drag his canoe to the dock
every time he used it?
And if he did do that,
wouldn't there be
A lot more drag marks here?
Negative.
All right, what if colton
Was in the canoe before it
was dragged to the water?
Killer launches him from the dock,
Assuming that he'll drift away and sink,
leaving no evidence.
Just got off the phone
with the head porter
At the palermo center.
One of his guys saw
some crazy groupie chick
Dumpster-diving last night.
Thought the web site on her
t-shirt was pretty funny.
That is pretty funny.
Yeah. I checked the site,
She's been blogging
about jay's guitar.
Are you marta petrovich?
Yeah.
We have a warrant to
search your apartment.
Well, what are you looking for?
Uh, we heard about your guitar.
We'd really love to see it.
Oh! Well, you don't need
no warrant for that.
I'd love to show it off.
Come on, come on.
Come on.
Okay...
Wow. So nice.
Yeah. Ah!
When I found it in the dumpster,
I just about died.
I love them so much.
The problem is that
guitar is evidence
In an attempted
murder investigation.
Yeah, and you know,
you could be a hero,
Helping to solve a really big case
Involving rascal flatts.
Yeah, and I'm sure the
band would be happy
To reward it to you
when we're done.
Yeah, do you, uh,
mind if I step on your couch?
Uh, I-I guess so...
J-j-just look, don't touch!
I mean, jay's fingers
are still on it.
Oh, boy, yeah, I hope so.
Don't you, greg?
Mm-hmm. Hmm-hmm.
I hate to break it to you, sweetie,
But, uh, this guitar
is coming with us.
No, no, no, no, it's mine.
Yeah, I'm really sorry. I found it!
No, you can't do this!
Maybe we can get you an autograph.
But I already have
their autographs.
At our headquarters,
We have a whole food
court in the basement.
I always get a kick out
of the idea that the girl
Serving the burgers has to
have security clearance.
Craig halliday, associate director.
You're jim brass.
That's right.
So, uh, what do you need from me,
mr. Halliday?
Well, I think that you
need something from me.
Oh, yeah? An apology.
I offered csi my full cooperation,
And I hate always
being the bad guy.
Ah, don't worry about it,
I'm always the bad guy around here.
Oh, yeah? So, anything else
You want to get off your chest?
Captain, larry colton to see you.
No, I've achieved what I came for.
Your father was a great patriot.
I'm here to sign whatever
there is to sign and go home.
You know, I don't think I'm
gonna let you see the body.
It's, uh, it's not
a good idea really.
I haven't seen my father in 20 years,
I couldn't care less.
Mmm, I know that he
loved you very much.
My father hated me.
You know that; it's in my file.
Just by sitting here,
he's already started a file on you.
So, besides you, any other haters?
All five of his wives.
The thousands of people he had
killed and everyone in between.
Ah, if only we could kill
them by the thousands.
The problem with
killing our enemies
Is that you can't spy
on them after that.
Just want to let the family know,
the agency is behind you.
Hmm, your way of saying that
you're sharpening the daggers,
Screwing on the silencers
and that the foreign flunky
Who took out my father is about
to get capped as payback.
Executive order 11-905
forbids the agency
From engaging in assassination.
Okay, on that note,
Have you seen what you needed?
Because, uh, I think I
can handle it from here.
Captain brass.
Good-bye, mr. Halliday.
Tire tracks look
like they were made
By suburbans. Three of them.
Two miles from the house,
A mile from where we
found the body.
And look, green paint transfer.
Colton's canoe washed up here.
Halliday beat us here.
Halliday spooks?
That's not a suburban.
I'll call it in.
Can I help you with something?
Gun!
I'm reaching for my identification.
This doesn't have to be
an international incident.
You're with the german consulate.
As consulate officials,
We are protected by
diplomatic immunity.
Why don't you be diplomatic
and toss the guns out?
This car is german soil.
You have no jurisdiction
inside of it,
Including us.
My passport.
This is a bunch of crap.
Yes, but he's telling the truth.
For your information, gentlemen,
It's illegal to shoot fish
in the state of nevada.
Auf wiedersehen.
So, even though we're
on a secure network,
Someone hacked hodges' computer.
Why me? Well, maybe it's because
You like to surf more outside sites
Than anyone else in the lab.
It's all research.
Archie, can't you just trace
the source of the hack?
With enough time.
Well, if I'm not needed,
I need to go delete
some personal files.
The book certainly
starts off with a bang.
A word-for-word transcript
of a telephone conversation
Between the east german secret
police and nettie moller.
She's like their german obama.
They say she's gonna win the
election by a landslide.
Well, she won't if this gets out.
During the 1970s,
moller was a double agent,
Recruiting agents for the
cia and betraying them
To the east german
stasi for execution.
You know, if we have a
copy of this memoir,
It's not a stretch to
think that the germans
And the cia had it first.
You can say anything you
want to say in a book,
But colton had to be working
from a tape when he wrote this.
Halliday, the house, the germans.
The tape is what they
were looking for.
A tape worth killing for.
Yes.
Well, it's a decent
theory for a spy novel.
What do we have in
the way of evidence?
Cod? Nothing yet.
Still waiting for tox.
Pots are fried,
But no shaved wires.
This is the right guitar but
not the source of the shock.
If it's not his guitar,
Then it's gotta be
his mic or his amp.
Well, yee-haw.
The ground on the amp
has been removed.
Without grounds,
the circuit breaker's
Not gonna pop, you are.
Yeah, but that alone's not
enough to cause electrocution.
Well, the power comes from
the amp into the guitar
And through jay to his mic,
Where jay's lips close the circuit.
Xlr plug's been singed.
This is part of the
circuit that shocked jay.
But there's not enough
voltage from a 110
To leave fern patterns
on his arms like that.
220 had to come from somewhere.
Well, the venue runs on 220.
All somebody had to do
was sabotage a 110 box
So 220 could run through it.
Here you go,
this is 220 right here.
Once whoever did this linked the
220 to the sabotaged 110,
It sent the 220 directly into jay.
And without a breaker
to protect him,
As soon as his lips touch the mic,
Jay fries.
? when your heart
is full of doubt ?
? and you think that
there's no way out ?
? you find your faith has
been lost and shaken... ?
So, wait a minute,
why didn't jay get zapped
When the concert started?
When his lips
First touched that mic?
I don't know.
But whoever's responsible for
this had to rig this box.
So maybe there's some
prints on the inside.
If we get an id,
we'll ask him ourselves.
Henry, what do you have for me?
Well, I ran an expanded
tox panel on vance colton,
All the normal drugs of abuse
and poisons were negative.
Not even the cancer drugs.
No, he wasn't taking
any medications.
The man had stage four cancer.
Then he must've stopped treatment.
All right, try these.
Aconitine, succinylcholine,
Fluphenazine and sarin.
I've never heard of aconitine.
Fluphenazine is a psychotropic.
Sarin's a binary chemical weapon.
Saddam used it against
the kurds in the '80s.
But I thought the united
nations banned production
And stockpiling of
all chemical weapons.
Correct, but all four compounds
Are mentioned here
in colton's memoir.
Tools of the spy trade.
Okay, backed the last
zombie to the source.
Hodges' printer was hacked here,
In vegas.
German consulate or
halliday's office?
Coffee shop at the
blue siren motel.
That's not very 007.
I mean, it figures the
colton kid was lying to us.
He's been registered
here for four nights.
Which means he checked in a day
before his father was killed.
Yeah, the manager says he
may still be in his room.
The door is open.
He's dead.
Well, they tossed the room,
Probably looking for that tape.
And his computer's gone.
Control, this is captain brass.
We have a 419 down at
the blue siren motel.
Send backup...
And the coroner's wagon.
The germans want us to know
they didn't kill vance colton.
And they also want us to know
they killed his son.
you call my mother
a whore in print,
You say I'm a bastard.
It's just more of your lies.
She was a whore,
You don't exist,
and I'm going fishing.
Larry died believing he'd
killed his father.
He sent us the manuscript
To deflect suspicion from
himself onto the germans.
From colton's vest,
we always assumed
That colton was on the dock
because he was going fishing.
But there's no fishing
equipment here.
Colton took down the canoe.
So, he planned to
go out on the water
Before larry put him there.
But if larry hadn't been there,
What was going to happen next?
Vance colton was
going to die anyway.
By whose hand?
That's what's bothering me.
I bet if we dug a little deeper,
We'd find out that
when larry was a boy,
He wanted to be just like his father,
even though he hated him.
You always see something of
both parents in yourself.
Even if it's more than
you'd like to admit.
Hey, I got your cod,
And it's right out of james bond.
Just call me "h."
You get it? 'cause "m"
and the "h"... "h," "q,"
Yeah. Special branch-- I get it.
Right, I-I tested all the
poisons from the memoir,
And you're negative
on the first three.
Which leaves sarin.
It was first created by the germans
As a super pesticide
until world war ii
When they discovered it was very
effective at killing people.
Back to the germans.
These levels of sarin you
found in vance colton
Should have killed him instantly.
Which suggests the
poison was administered
When he was already in the canoe.
Yeah, but out on the
lake and out cold?
Why didn't they just shoot him?
That's a good point.
Henry, is there a way to make sarin
Not instantaneously lethal?
Well, it's a clear liquid,
So I suppose it's possible
to put it in a capsule.
Which means it would take
some time to dissolve
Before it entered the system,
so he could've
Ingested it before he
was out on the dock.
This doesn't make any sense.
Yes, but catherine asked for cod.
That she did.
I'll tell her.
Dr. Ray? You think I could read
The rest of colton's book?
I love spy thrillers.
No. I'm going to return
this to its author.
I'd offer to buy you a drink,
but you already got one.
Can I have a scotch? Okay.
It needs to be a new bottle sure.
With the seal unbroken. You got it.
Seriously?
I'm just kidding.
Thanks for calling me and...
And bringing me this.
Sometimes old men forget
the promises they made,
And secrets must remain just that.
I think colton kept his promises,
Which is why you gave him
exactly what he wanted.
What was it that he wanted?
His way out of this world.
Yeah, drowning sure
is a tough way to go.
So is cancer.
So is blunt force trauma.
With sons like that,
who needs enemies, huh?
Cheers.
We both know what killed him
was the sarin you gave him.
Sarin?
They don't even make
that stuff anymore.
Germans still make it. Hmm.
You put colton back in business.
You had him write the memoir.
You provided the moller tape.
If there ever was a moller tape.
If someone believes there's a tape,
there's a tape.
I believe that colton
Posted the manuscript
on the internet,
Knowing that the
germans would read it.
No, I don't think so,
because colton was retired.
He was dying of cancer.
I doubt that he cared
about german politics.
He cared about his legacy.
He didn't want to come in from
the cold and die a sick, old man.
He wanted to go out a hero,
Poisoned by his old enemies
fighting for his country.
So you helped an old
friend commit suicide.
Well, dr. Langston, you like the...
Extra spin around the block,
Uh, goes beyond the cut-and-dry
Microscoped answer from the
green paint chips of life.
You know where I work,
That block has an
unlimited horizon.
Are you offering me a job?
Have you found one yet that fits?
Well, my mistake.
Thanks for the drink.
Did your father ever talk to
you about his time in vietnam?
It was an odd place to take leave
With a war staring us in the face.
Or maybe you two
weren't that close?
There he is right there.
Just hang on a second.
How's it going, fellas?
Mr. Murray?
I think you know why I'm here.
Man, we got a show to do.
Yeah, not with him, you're not.
He's the one that
sabotaged jay's equipment.
What?!
Travis?
Why would you do
something like that?
I just meant to give
him a little jolt
So I... So I could do the one song.
Travis, all you had to do was ask.
I... Don't-don't you guys see?
I'm getting old.
Th-th-the show was over
after this tour for me.
Joe don: Jay. Gary: Hey, jay!
Jay, I...
I didn't mean for this
to get so out of control.
Man, you lit me up
like a christmas tree,
And you smoked my best guitar.
Why would you do that?
I'm sorry, man.
What did I do to you? I'm sorry.
Are you back?
Look at me.
You recognize me?
A face like yours, as ugly as it is,
it's hard to forget.
Oh, yeah, laugh if you
Want to, but I'm the one that's
Sitting there been covering
for you this entire time.
Hey, right back at you,
big boy. Hey, guys.
I wrote a new song while
I was in the hospital.
It's a little bit different.
You're gonna have to follow me.
You guys stick around.
We're going to have
some fun tonight.
Okay.
Enjoy yourselves tonight.
Hey, las vegas! How y'all feeling?
As most of you know,
cousin jay got a little shocked
Last night on stage.
And, um... He's feeling better.
He doesn't look any better
but he's feeling better.
Ladies and gentlemen,
jay demarcus. He's back!
thank you.
I got a little song
I wrote for you.
You guys just follow along,
we'll do this.
Y'all ready?
okay. Here we go.
Kick it off.
